Ultraman Time Repairman

"On June 2nd, Tokyo's 102nd district was completely destroyed by five monsters. The defense forces deserted, and the Mike team was wiped out in the battle against the monsters. A huge, blurry figure appeared in the sky, issuing a proclamation of the end times to humanity..."

"Ultraman, Earth's hero, suffered a crushing defeat and disappeared in Tokyo... Where did he go, our hero? Will Ultraman ever reappear?"

"According to observations from the space station at the Asian headquarters, a planet with a diameter of 6 kilometers has been discovered within ten million kilometers of Earth. This suddenly appearing planet may be related to the previous appearance of the disc-shaped creatures. Team Mike stated that the monster in the battle on June 2nd was a biological weapon from aliens, which means that similar monsters exist on that planet..."

"Commander Takakura, the highest-ranking officer at MAC's Asia headquarters, stated that humanity is utterly incapable of resisting an invasion from that extraterrestrial planet. Is such negative rhetoric inappropriate...?"

"The crime rate in Country J has skyrocketed, public security has become a major problem, and doomsday theories have been widely accepted..."

call.

Dan Moroboshi took a deep breath to calm his chest, which was heaving with emotion. His breathing became noticeably heavy, especially after seeing the news that the Mike team's armed forces had been almost completely wiped out and that Ultraman had suffered a crushing defeat.

"Are these the newspapers from the past few days? Are there any other news items?"

Dan Moroboshi tried to keep his tone gentle as he looked up at Kuroda, who was frowning, on the other side of the glass partition.

His gaze remained as serious and calm as ever, especially during this period, as he couldn't show his depressed side to his teammates.

"During that day's battle, after the remaining three monsters caused massive destruction in Tokyo, a half-body figure wearing a wide hood and dressed in a religious style, in dark purple, appeared high in the sky above the city. That guy claimed that he would completely invade Earth in a week and send more disc-shaped creatures over..."

"A dark purple figure?"

Dan Moroboshi's eyebrows furrowed, and his right hand gripped the phone tightly.

He had never even heard of such a being before, but knowing their origins was no longer important. What mattered was that they only had less than a week left.

Tuan's gaze fell on the newspaper he was clutching tightly in his hand, lingering on the section about Ultraman's disappearance, and his eyelids twitched wildly.

"Oh, by the way, remember to tell Qian Shu and Feng Yuan to come see me later. I have a task to entrust to them."

"team leader……"

Upon hearing those two names, Kuroda's expression darkened further. He lowered his head, not daring to look the captain in the eye. Seeing this, Moroboshi Dan had a guess in his mind.

"Fengyuan... he sacrificed himself in that battle. His charred helmet was only found in area 102. Moreover, the place where he was was destroyed by a massive explosion caused by the poison gas released by the disc creatures. No survivors were found in the vicinity."

"What?"

Dan Moroboshi's eyes quickly dimmed, and his face showed some pain, but then he seemed to remember something, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart. He then looked up and asked.

"What about the thousand trees?"

"Team member Chishu has been expelled from Team Mike... He was filmed by the Surveillance Department when he was reverting to his original Balgi alien form, and then died in the ensuing battle with the monster."

When Chiki was mentioned, Kuroda's expression became complicated. He hadn't expected that his usual teammate would be an alien.

"Ugh."

Dan Moroboshi sighed, put down the newspaper in his hand, and covered his face with his hands.

"team leader!"

Seeing the captain like this, Kuroda was somewhat surprised and stood up. Just as he was about to comfort him, he was interrupted by Kuroda waving his hand.

"It's alright. Now that Chishu's identity as an alien has been confirmed, I, as the captain, do bear an unshirkable responsibility for letting him infiltrate the Mike team for so long. My interrogation should be over, and I believe someone will come to release me soon."

"Captain, even if you are dismissed, you are still the captain of Team Mike."

“I know, do one last thing for me, help me apply for an audience with Commander Takakura.”

Dan Moroboshi lowered his hands, which he had been covering his face in pain, and when he revealed his face again, his eyes gradually became firm.

It seems that keeping him imprisoned and preventing him from participating in that battle was the mastermind's goal. If he was only suspicious of Commander Takakura before, he is now certain that Commander Takakura was an imposter, and might even be the mastermind.

Chishu and Gen are both dead, and the Defense Force and Mike's team are also severely weakened. Now, only he himself has the ability to protect the Earth.

After calming down, he had a plan in mind: at least deal with this fake Commander Takakura.

two days ago.

Tokyo 102 area.

As the enormous figure in the sky disappeared, bringing with it the harbinger of doom and taking with it the three demonic monsters from the ruins, the bustling battlefield finally quieted down. The flames from the explosion burned silently on the ground, occasionally emitting the sound of things being burned, and the entire area reeked of burnt things.

The scene of ruins and rubble is everywhere; concrete, cement, and building debris cover the ground, creating a chaotic mess.

Simple tents were quickly erected in the ruins, and supply trucks bearing various relief signs stopped in the area, transporting disaster relief necessities such as food, water, and medical supplies. Medical workers and firefighters also began to appear here.

However, there are still some areas where these personnel cannot carry out search and rescue work for the time being. There is a dense yellow toxic gas in an area that was severely damaged by the monster and where a violent explosion occurred. Moreover, under the influence of chemical substances, there is still a risk of explosion. Therefore, even wearing a gas mask, it is forbidden to enter.

The thick fog that lingered for a long time seemed to be hovering in place, but in this deserted area, a faint movement suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Uh... ah..."

Feeling utterly weak, his consciousness was also hazy. He endured the stinging sensation in his eyes from the air, and finally opened them, whereupon a sliver of light appeared in his vision.

"here it is……"

Chishu's memory seemed to be fragmented. As she reached out and touched the ground, she felt the heat from the massive explosion still lingering on the scorched earth, and smoke was still rising from some places.

He gradually regained his senses as he felt the irritating sensation of the foggy air entering his nose.

"I'm not dead yet."

Chishu shook her head, which felt heavy, and forced herself to wake up. Her memory also recalled the scene of the battle not long ago.

It seems the battle is over now, and Fengyuan should have escaped successfully. We don't know when the enemy will come back. The most urgent thing is to rejoin the main force as soon as possible.

We need to get out of here quickly; the gas here seems to be poisonous.

Struggling to get up from the ground, he realized that his team uniform had been burned to shreds by the flames.

The silver vest, made of special materials, still bears traces of an explosion.

No, how could I be completely unharmed after such an attack?

Chiki covered her nose with her hand while checking the extent of the burns on her clothes, her mind filled with questions.

The ground along the way was in ruins, but fortunately there were no remaining flames in the thick fog, which made him feel much safer and relieved him of the danger of a sudden explosion.

"Snapped!"

Because his view was obstructed, it seemed as if his foot had accidentally kicked something while walking; the hard shell made a clattering sound, and its round shape caused it to roll to the side.

Um?

Normally, Qian Shu would have rushed away to get out of the toxic gas zone, but the sound just now made him stop in his tracks for no apparent reason.

Qian Shu silently bent down to pick it up and saw the last thing he wanted to see.

It was a badly damaged Mac helmet, and the serial number on it was now supposed to be in the universe, in Fengyuan.
