Moonlight team, are you awake?

Author: Blue Night

Summary:

Gao Shan Wo Meng faces a devastating start

The super ancient monsters are awakening, the Sphia life form is attacking, the destruction summoner appears, and the Earth Defense Force shot down a spaceship 10 years ago.

Gaia only has V1, but Agul sent it

The team's own defense team is even more powerful: the shooting expert Yamanaka, the ace pilot Shinjo, the think tank is Dr. Tango, the biologist Dr. Otomo, the ground combatant Mizoroki Shinya, the vice captain Nishijo Nagi,

In this situation, Gao Shanwomeng resolutely formed a united front with the monsters on Earth to fight against the invaders from space.

"How dare you invade the Earth? What a fool! He probably doesn't know that the Earth is protected by our heroic Beetle and Moonlight Team, you space bumpkin."

Volume: Volume 1

Chapter One: A Cataclysmic Beginning

If there were a list of the unluckiest people in the world, then Takayama Gamu would definitely be at the top right now.

He stood alone on the deserted island, his heart filled with despair.

He wasn't the original Takayama Gamu, but an unlucky guy temporarily pulled in by the Gaia Light. Although his name was also Takayama Gamu, he was just an otaku who loved watching Ultraman, not the genius boy from the Alchemy Star.

The reason I brought him here is simple—I have a dream of this world.

No, it wasn't just my dream. After carefully sorting through the memories that flooded his mind, he was completely dumbfounded.

The original owner was a member of the Earth Defense Force, Gamu Takayama, who was also the human form of Ultraman Gaia. His good friend Hiroshi Fujimiya was also the human form of Ultraman Agul.

Up to this point, everything seemed normal, but when he flipped to the section on the world background, he couldn't hold back anymore—

In this world, ancient monsters have begun to revive on Earth. Humanity's technological advancements have attracted the Specia lifeforms, while environmental pollution has led to the emergence of Destruction-Attracting Entities. Additionally, 10 years ago, the human government shot down an alien spaceship.

The list of Earth Defense Force members made him feel even more disoriented: Yamanaka, a skilled shooter; Shinjo, an ace pilot; Dr. Tango, the strategist; Dr. Otomo, the biologist; Shinya Mizoroki, the ground combatant; and Nagi Saijo, the vice-captain. The only consolation was that the captain was Megumi Iruma, so at least it wasn't completely hellish.

As for why I was summoned here, it was because an hour ago, Gaia and Agul fought against the Sphia chimera Neogagared on Black Tide Island. The battle ended in a Pyrrhic victory, with Agul sacrificing himself on the spot and Gaia being seriously injured and dying. When the original owner was dying, he exhausted his last strength to open a quantum channel and randomly pulled someone from a parallel world, hoping that he could take his place and continue to protect the Earth.

After reading the original owner's memories, I almost fainted.

What kind of devilish military training lineup is that on the other side? Ancient monsters, Specia lifeforms, Destruction summons, and most likely, a V99 as well.

What, you're letting him do all the quests for the Heisei Three alone?

To be honest, if there were enough resources, it wouldn't be impossible to take on the challenge, but the problem is that he has already sent Agul!

Agul is gone, so who will fill the void of Ocean Light that he lacks?

Let him single-handedly use Gaia V1 to fight the Heisei Three Heroes' dungeon? That's a bit too much to bear.

"At least unlock V2 and SV for me first!" I was on the verge of tears.

But it's too late to complain now. We're already inside. We either win and get out standing up, or we lose and get out lying down. There's no other choice.

I calmed myself down and started thinking about how to play this endgame.

With Agul gone, and Fujimiya sacrificing himself as well, Ocean Light must be severely damaged. He probably won't be able to consider using Ocean Light to upgrade his form anytime soon.

As for the Light of the Earth... it wasn't much better. The original owner was on the verge of death and was pulled back by his last breath. Although the Light of Gaia could still transform, its light was much weaker. It would be a blessing if it could perform at the normal V1 level.

Trying to conquer this hellish dungeon with just a V1 character? That's a death sentence, don't even think about it. The original owner and Fujimiya were trained professionals, yet they were almost double-killed by Shingai. As an untrained ordinary citizen passing by, rushing in recklessly would basically be suicide.

It's necessary to find a way to train myself and improve my combat power, but this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Right now, I must find a way to survive and not be taken down by the opponent in one fell swoop at this weakest point.

However, what I feared most came to pass. Before I could come up with a reliable solution, the defense team's communicator on his body started beeping.

When the defense team's communicator rings, it's usually a bad omen. I could only painfully take out the communicator, press the answer button, and then Captain Megumi's voice came through the communicator: "Delta Space Station has detected an unidentified flying object approaching from outside the atmosphere. The detection results show strong life activity!"

"...clear!"

What else can I say? Since the other side has already arrived, there's no choice but to go up and fight.

To everyone's surprise, just a few seconds later, the communicator crackled to life again: "A monster has appeared in Tokyo's K district!"

“I’m freaking…” My Dream is really going crazy now. According to the original owner’s memory, just an hour ago, Gaia had joined forces with Neo Gaia to fight against Neo Gaia Red on Black Tide Island, and then just an hour later, two new waves of attacks came in succession.

Just when he was at his wit's end, a turning point appeared.

The communicator transmitted live footage of the K area of ​​Tokyo. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the monster appearing there was none other than the beetle monster Taganura.

"Holy crap, Brother Ta Zi??" I scratched my head, suddenly feeling that things had taken a turn for the better.

If it's just a Taganura that appears, I'd probably assume it's a normal Earth monster, just out for some fresh air or to demolish some houses.

However, when Taganura appears alongside invaders from outer space, its motives are likely not simply to go for a walk.

Taganula is nicknamed "Taganula" because it bravely and repeatedly sniped intruders from outer space in the show, trying to eliminate or intercept them outside the atmosphere. Due to misunderstandings of its actions by humans, it was mistakenly killed several times. Even so, Taganula still stood diligently on the front line of fighting against foreign enemies, which moved the world.

If I'm not mistaken, the unidentified flying object from outer space is likely an alien biological weapon like Bazan. As an Earth monster, Taganura felt threatened, or perhaps because Gaia and Agul had both sent monsters, Earth decided to send out monsters to fight the enemy. Taganura, with its super long-range attack capabilities, became the first wave of monsters to appear.

If that's really the case, then my first priority is to go to Tokyo's K region and protect this Taganura. Of course, the prerequisite for protecting it is to first confirm that it is an ally on the same side.

Thinking of this, I made a quick decision and, after rummaging through the inside pocket of my shirt, pulled out the Blue Sapphire Cone.

As the human form, he could clearly sense that the light of the earth inside was very weak. It was capable of transformation, but it was hard to say how much of its power it could retain after transforming.

Without the slightest hesitation, I raised the Blue Sapphire Cone high and shouted, "Gaia!!!!"

A golden-red light flashed, and the figure of V1 Gaia appeared. Then he took off and flew towards Tokyo's K district at top speed.

Chapter Two: Surviving the First Wave of Attack!

In Tokyo's K district, the 60-meter-tall Taganura is frantically absorbing a large amount of energy stored at the K district's new energy base.

When my dream landed, the earth responded violently to him, dust flying everywhere, and at that moment he felt only anxiety.

Because Gaia is the embodiment of the light of the earth, after Gaia transforms into Gaia, he can clearly sense the current state of the earth.

The situation is terrible. The light of Earth is very weak. It seems that creating Gaia and Agul has already consumed a lot of Earth's power. We don't know how to restore the light of Earth yet, but it seems that there is really no way to obtain the power of evolution V2 and SV from Earth in the short term.

So, all we can do is pray that the Earth monsters are on our side.

As Gaia arrived, the defense force's fighter jets also arrived at the scene. The Yamanaka team and the Shinjo team formed one group, while Saijo Nagi and Mizoro Makoto formed another. They immediately launched an attack on Taganura.

When I dreamt about it, I thought, "This won't do. What if Taganura really is here to intercept the enemy? This wave will be a huge blow to our allies."

He immediately rushed to Taganula's side and used his hands to open the protective shield to block the attack from the fighter jet for Taganula.

However, Meng wouldn't be a victim of injustice. He knew the character of those guys on the other side. Given their intentions, if he rashly helped the monster block the attack, he would likely be seen as an accomplice and attacked first.

Therefore, the second after blocking the attack, I placed my hands on either side of my head and activated my Ultra Instinct.

Fortunately, he was the one who had transmigrated from the original body. Gaia's transformation abilities and various skill sets were already stored in his brain. Otherwise, he might not have had time to slowly explore the skills.

The moment Ultraman activated his mind, all four people inside the fighter jet received a telepathic message from "Gaia".

I conveyed my will to them: "I am Ultraman Gaia, a defense mechanism born from Earth, designed to combat the various crises that will arise in the future. Once the crisis is over, I will return to Earth itself."

He made this explanation first, especially the last sentence, to prevent himself from being seen as a threat, because Ultraman is essentially a high-threat existence with combat power that surpasses all others, and this worldview is not the high-quality or high-trust worldview of Tiga and Dyna's TPC worldview or Mebius's GUYS worldview.

After hearing his explanation, Saijo Nagi and Mizoroki exchanged a glance.

My concerns were valid; Saijo Nagi and Mizoroki Shinya had indeed discussed Ultraman's stance in private.

Gaia and Agul haven't been on Earth for very long, so they haven't established a deep trust with the defense team yet. The defense team is still considering whether Ultraman is a friend of humanity or simply a third-party force.

Now that Gaia has taken the initiative to reveal his identity, although it may not be entirely credible, it at least provides an explanation for the other party for the time being. As long as I continue to fight monsters normally, the trust between the defense team and Ou can be gradually built up.

Then, Gaia began to explain why he helped Taganura withstand the attack: "The monster behind me is called Taganura. It is a monster born on Earth. Since the entire Earth has become the target of the enemy, some Earth monsters have chosen to stand up and fight the monsters in order to protect themselves."

"We have just received news from the will of Earth that a monster has flown in from outer space. This Taganura appeared to absorb energy and then snipe at that monster."

After this explanation, the people on the other side remained silent for a long time.

Although they are among the more radical members of the defense team, radical thinking does not mean they are brainless idiots. Gaia's explanation, based on the current situation, is completely valid.

They had to consider that if Gaia's words were true, then continuing their attack on Taganura would be a blow to their own allies.

However, if Gaia's claims are false, or if Gaia is in league with a certain faction, then their cessation of attacks would be tantamount to condoning the enemy.

This responsibility is too great; even Saijo Nagi is hesitant and unsure of what to do.

In times like these, it is crucial to have someone who can step forward, make the final decision, and take responsibility.

Fortunately, there is such a person, the current captain of the defense team, Megumi Kijima, who has such courage.

While the team members hesitated, Megumi's voice came through the communicator: "Stop the attack and do as Gaia says. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility."

"Yes!" The group put down their fingers from the launch button and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

That choice was really difficult to make, because as defense team members, any mistake they made could lead to great sacrifices.

After the defense forces ceased their attack, Taganura quickly absorbed enough energy, which rapidly fused within its body, causing a burst of light to emanate from its body and then concentrate on the horn atop its head.

Once the energy had accumulated to a certain limit, Taganura instantly unleashed an extremely hot beam of light from the horn on its head, precisely targeting the outside of the atmosphere.

A few seconds later, a message came through the communicator from Delta Space Station: "A high-heat beam has been observed breaking through the atmosphere. The unidentified life form that was about to enter Earth has been destroyed!"

Upon hearing this news, the group all looked up at Gaia and Taganura, and even Megumi breathed a sigh of relief.

Bet right.

If that monster had successfully landed at its original landing spot, the landing alone would have caused massive casualties, let alone engaging it in ground combat.

A correct choice prevented massive casualties and losses, and it also led to an unexpected development—Earth monsters could actually become a force that protects the Earth.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Gaia's remaining power was only half of what it used to be. If the negotiations had failed and Taganura had been destroyed, it would have been very difficult for him to deal with that monster alone.

More importantly, after the monster was defeated, he had time to catch his breath and make further arrangements.

He wasn't the only one who thought of the Earth monster route. Originally, Imu and Fujimiya were also considering this route. These two physics geniuses had previously tried to collaborate on creating a monster communicator, but before they could use it, they hurriedly got up to fight Neo-Gagared, resulting in a pyrrhic victory.

I was not careless at this moment. He gestured to Taganula, trying his best to make her understand his meaning, to quickly burrow back underground, and to hide as deep as possible.

Taganula seemed to understand something, or perhaps it was just because the defense team had attacked it and made it feel unsafe on the ground. In any case, it obediently plunged back into the ground and disappeared completely from people's sight.

My dream also took off and flew into the sky, transforming into light particles in mid-air and returning to the vicinity of Kuroshio Island.

The next goal is to return to the base, retrieve the monster communicator developed by the original owner, and try to contact the Earth monsters to gather enough strength for self-defense, lest we be wiped out in one fell swoop.

In addition, I need to take time to train with my teammates to improve my strength after becoming Gaia.

Putting everything else aside, Mizoroki and Saijo Nagi's land combat and hand-to-hand combat skills, as well as Shinjo and Yamanaka's shooting skills, are indeed quite impressive.

Chapter 3 Taganura, get da☆ze!

I dreamt that I boarded a defense force fighter jet that had been left behind here and returned to the base.

Thanks to the original owner, the fighter jet was equipped with an autopilot AI system, so he didn't have to crash to complete the transformation.

Once back at the base, I didn't care about anything else. I rushed into my room and started rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for the monster translator.

Fortunately, the original owner didn't like leaving things lying around, so I quickly found this thing in the drawer.

The fact that this thing was made possible is not only due to the efforts of physics geniuses like Iyu and Fujimiya, but mainly because of the help from Horii in the research department.

In this world, Horii is just an ordinary researcher in the research department. In this abstract world line, Dr. Tango becomes the scientist who joins the defense force, while Horii takes Dr. Tango's place in the normal world line.

Unlike Dr. Tango, who was depressed and even resentful, Horii did not collude with Masaki Keigo. Even as a researcher, Horii still considered supporting the defense force his top priority. When the original Gamu inadvertently mentioned his idea of ​​creating a monster translator, Horii immediately contributed his long-held efforts.

Even the original owner of this body, a super physics genius, praised his talent, saying that without Horii, he really wouldn't have been able to complete this thing.

Unfortunately, even the most brilliant genius will remain hidden if they are not given the opportunity to shine.

I'm also planning to find an opportunity to promote someone as talented as Horii in the future; it's such a waste of his abilities for him to just be a researcher.

After finding the monster translator, I left the base, found a spot, took out the Blue Sapphire Cone, shouted "Gaia!!!", transformed into a life-sized Gaia, and flew towards Tokyo's K district.

Near the area where Taganura appeared, I began to search patiently.

Using his newfound senses after transforming into Gaia, it didn't take him long to find Taganura resting inside the cave she had emerged from.

Upon noticing Gaia's arrival, Taganura immediately snapped out of it, her small, minus-shaped eyes filled with vigilance.

Although Gaia protected it today, that reason alone is not enough to make Taganura lower its guard against Gaia.

I wasn't surprised by my dream's attitude towards it. Taganura is essentially a wild animal; if it could so easily lower its guard against others, it wouldn't have survived to this day.
