Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

"Why is it emails like this again..." A staff member from GUYS' information security department rubbed his dwindling hair, then suddenly realized something and put his hand down, feeling a pang of heartache as he discovered a soft strand of hair in his palm.

"What's wrong?" His colleague came over.

"Look... another internal email, no sender, and we can't trace the address using any means," the staff member, who was about to enter the 'Bright Summit' stage, scrolled down the email content: "This is... a monster, a monster, a monster modification?!"

Estend stared at the screen with the GUYS logo in the upper right corner and muttered to himself, "If it really is a monster army, this amount is far from enough. I wonder how much you can digest..."

"Earth, Pasifica..."

"Dong dong dong."

Estend was startled and quickly turned off the screen, hiding the terminal. He then opened the door, only to see Samuel carrying a meal with a puzzled expression.

Pan asked, "Pasifica?"

“You…” Estend paused, took the plate, and then tentatively asked, “Pasifica, do you remember him?”

"What do you remember?" Samuel thought Estend was acting strangely today. After training in the morning, he had been holed up in his dorm and no one knew what he was doing. Samuel was afraid that he would starve to death, so he brought him food from the cafeteria. Through the door, he could hear Estend muttering "Pasifica".

Pasifica? That sounds familiar; I guess I've heard it somewhere before.

Samuel wondered if it was related to the name of the new snack brand that Sora had told Estend.

Estend's expression returned to normal, and he walked to the table, put down his plate, and began to eat lunch.

"It's nothing, just a nice place with unique plant production. If you don't remember, that's fine." Estend's voice was muffled.

“Hmm.” Samuel assumed it was some place on Earth that Estend had mentioned to him, so he didn’t think much of it.

After Estend finished his meal hastily, Samuel kindly took his plate back to the canteen.

In fact, the rescue team has had a relatively quiet time these past two days. After being busy in Xiaocheng for a while, there have been no more large-scale urban disaster relief alerts. As they are at the headquarters of the Kanto Disaster Relief Team, they do not need to support the branch.

Two days ago, he looked through GUYS's information and found out that Mebius, Sword and Bogaru had fought again in the wild. Luckily it was in the wild, otherwise they would have been thrown into the disaster site by the transport plane again.

"It's good that there are no missions."

Estend was half-reclined on the bed, intending to relax by watching the chaos unfold in GUYS's information security department, but before he could even comfortably creak his joints, he heard a soul-crushing alarm.

"A monster has appeared at the third construction site in Fujihoku City, codenamed Gudon, Twin-Tailed Monster, and Bogaru. Bogaru ate Gudon and Twin-Tailed Monster and seems to have evolved. It is now heading towards Fujihoku City," Hasegawa Hayato calmly explained the mission. "Fujihoku is a new city, and there are not many personnel assigned to each department. We need to assist the branch there in completing the evacuation of the suburban area."

"Yes!" everyone responded.

As soon as the plane took off, Hasegawa Hayato sent another communication to their respective microcomputers. At the same time, his voice came through the team members' headsets: "Breaking news, the Titan codenamed 'Sword' and Mebius are fighting in the suburbs. In view of the destructive power 'Sword' has shown in the past, our evacuation mission area has been expanded from the suburbs to the city center and along the Third Construction Site."

Before the climb was even complete, the team's communicators rang again: "The situation has changed. Bogaru and the giant have disappeared. The mission is canceled. The support team is on standby at Fujikawa City Airport, awaiting further instructions."

The tense atmosphere in the cabin suddenly changed.

"Um..." Yonahara Sora spoke first, "Were we tricked?"

Yamashita Rikuto muttered, "It's good that you're alright."

"My lunch break..." Yonahara Sora lamented, "I'm so sleepy, Captain! Can I take a nap while I'm on standby?"

Hayato Hasegawa snorted, but still chose to accommodate his teammate's needs without violating the rules: "Go to sleep."

He praised Yuan Kong, saying, "The captain is really good," and nudged Yamashita Rikuto, who was sitting next to him.

Yamashita Rikudou patted his helmet, rustled and moved to the opposite side, squeezing in with Estend, leaving Yuan Kong a space to lie down with his legs bent.

"He can sleep and eat..." Yamashita Rikuto clicked his tongue.

"So I'm younger." Yonahara Sora smiled and closed his eyes.

Yamashita Rikuto turned his face away in disgust.

Beside Sora's head, Sugiyama Mao looked at them with her smiling, crescent-shaped eyes.

He and Yuan Kong slept all the way to the headquarters airport.

He was sleeping so soundly that even the roar of the engine couldn't wake him.

But this also means... they were indeed outmaneuvered by Bogaru and the sword.

Well, it's best if there are no casualties. As long as the city is safe and no one gets hurt by the monster, it doesn't matter if they get dragged around a few more times.

Back in his dorm, Eistend went about his business in silence.

Samuel sat quietly in his room, waiting for orders and flipping through the rescue manual.

The next day, GUYS, who was busy formulating the operation plan against Bogaru, received another mysterious email, which also contained monster modification data that was enough to drive scientists crazy, causing the relevant departments to continue working overtime and losing hair.

Two more peaceful days passed. In the morning, the Hasegawa team was doing their routine morning exercises.

Keita Kobayashi stood on the sidelines, timing himself, and he, Sora Nahara, and Rikuto Yamashita started arguing like cockfighting over a sarcastic remark that no one knew who had started it.

Eistard had been busy these past few days converting the research data he stored in the terminal into something that Earthlings could understand and use. Right now, he was yawning with dark circles under his eyes.

Samuel was a little worried about his condition, so he moved closer and tried to sneak him along for a while.

“No extra people allowed in regular training,” Keita Kobayashi’s voice rang out at the right moment, and Samuel could see his gleaming white canine teeth: “You need to be mindful of your schedule, Kobayashi.”

“Yes—” Estend replied weakly.

The weather is great today, the sky is clear and the air is crisp, with a few wisps of cirrus clouds hanging in the azure sky.

Everything is appropriate.

As he ran, Samuel suddenly looked up at the sky, staring intently in one direction, as if...

There was a clueless mission target there, seemingly taunting him.

There was indeed someone provoking him, but it wasn't directed at him.

From that direction, a radiant aura of unwavering will soared straight into the heavens.

"Bogaru! I'm here, bring it on!"

“Mebius…is dueling with Bogaru?” Samuel murmured.

"What's wrong?" Samuel's voice was too soft for Estend to hear clearly, but he could vaguely make out the four syllables "Mebius".

"I need to ask the team leader for leave."

Samuel wants to take a day off? Has he finally learned to slack off?! Good heavens!

Seeing Estend's thunderstruck expression, Samuel added in a low voice, "You said that defeating more monsters than Ultra Warriors means defeating them. Mebius is challenging Bogaru. If he defeats Bogaru first, won't I lose?"

Estend wondered if he had inadvertently set a trap for Samuel, but he could only nod in agreement: “That’s right, go ahead. Besides, we don’t get many vacation opportunities, so you can’t just ask for leave every time you find a monster.”

"Ah."

Chapter Thirty-Three: Hand in Hand

An isolated island.

The gentle sea breeze stirs up deep blue waves, and whenever the waves crash against the rocks along the shore, the deep blue gem shatters into countless tiny sparks that crash into the gray rocks.

The water and sky are vast, and a small boat flies by.

Perhaps some seabirds should gather on the island to rest before flying to their next destination.

But at this time, apart from the native vegetation, there was no sign of life at all.

The cold, metallic launch devices formed a ring around the island, gleaming with the cold light characteristic of metal machinery.

This is a special burial ground prepared for Bodh Gaya.

After Bogaru was defeated, the energy stored in his body was no longer under his control. If it were to be unleashed, it could completely obliterate the entire Kanto region. After several days of planning, GUYS chose to lure it to this isolated island and had laid a magnetic field barrier parabolic launcher in advance on the island. The magnetic field barrier would block the explosive energy impact when Bogaru died, minimizing the damage.

Meanwhile, the GUYS members were unwilling to give up on Mebius and Ken, who would definitely appear in the battle, so they decided to use meteor technology to open a life channel in the magnetic field barrier so that Mebius and Ken could escape before Bogaru's stored energy exploded.

However, due to the one-minute limitation of the meteor technology, the lifeline can only be maintained for one minute. If they fail to escape, they will face an explosion powerful enough to flatten the Kanto region.

To defeat Bogaru, and at the same time, go out with the sword.

Hibino Mirai disembarked from the Wing and stood on the fine white sand.

Looking up, Bogaru, whom he had lured, was slowly descending towards the center of the island.

From the memory display, the voice of Amakuya Kinomi came: "Future, please wait by the sea until we arrive, and don't move around."

“GIG!” Hibino Mirai responded as usual, but after hanging up, he quietly said, “I’m sorry.”

Ahead lies a ferocious beast; behind lies peace and tranquility for all families.

This place is a remote island far from human habitation.

Hibino Mirai heard the whistling of Bogaru's flapping wings. He turned his head and locked his gaze on the high-dimensional predator that was about to land with a look that instantly hardened.

Let's fight with our backs to the wall!

Without any hesitation, the soldiers rushed to the battlefield.

The pale red magnetic field barrier slowly descended from the center of the island, and once completed, the pale red light faded, becoming transparent and appearing perfectly normal.

Upon noticing the anomaly, Bogaru flew to the edge of the barrier and unleashed electric beams from the tips of his head in an attempt to escape. However, only the part of the barrier that was struck lit up, revealing a pale red, net-like network of veins, which immediately disappeared once the electric beams stopped.

Bogaru's furious roars were faithfully recorded in GUYS's surveillance footage.

"Bogaru is attacking the barrier, but his position is off-center. We need to adjust the direction of the particle cannons," the GUYS coastal defense personnel reminded their colleagues.

But his colleague was staring at a corner of the monitor screen.

Did you hear what I just said?

“Um, before the barrier was deployed…” the colleague’s voice sounded a little panicked, “Something else went in… I didn’t see clearly, could it be an aircraft from one of the coordinating units…”
