Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

The Mefilas alien and the Yapool alien exchanged a glance. The former stepped forward and said, "Mebius isn't dead yet. Is it alright for you to leave him there?"

Grozam idly sharpened his sword: "You should ask the guy next to you; he's the best at this."

“Ah… I’m actually surprised you would do this,” Yapool said, going along with him. “It would be best if Mebius didn’t die, only then can we attract the Ultra Brothers to come and save him.”

"However, this should only be your idea?" Before Grozam could speak, Yapool continued, "If there is enough time, I would prefer to transform Mebius into a Super Beast, no, perhaps it would be more accurate to describe him as a Dark Ultraman, and then drive him to fight against the Ultra Brothers."

The Mefilas alien chuckled deeply: "Indeed, that's your taste, Yapool."

“But you seem to have forgotten something,” the crystal in the throat of the Alien Mefilas gleamed, “humans are devising a countermeasure. You can’t just focus your attention on Ultraman.”

A faint light shone from the dark and cold place, and Desrem appeared there holding a purple orb of light.

"I've dealt with the humans," Desrem said slowly.

Stepping out of the shadows, he saw the missing Loader floating inside the purple sphere. He looked at the Alien Mefilas: "Our thoughts coincide. I have captured Ultraman Mebius's human companions. They will become useful tools to restrain Ultraman."

"If my arrangements have gone smoothly, humanity should be in complete chaos by now."

"I'm somewhat looking forward to it..."

Chapter 80 Everything You Love (4k)

How should we choose?

The host stood seriously in front of the camera and asked a question that was causing almost everyone to struggle with their own thoughts.

An alien calling himself Grozam announced to humanity that he had defeated Ultraman Mebius.

Then, a guy named Desrem claimed that the missing GUYS Loader was in his possession and demanded that the other Ultra Warriors who remained on Earth fight him.

How can an Ultraman fight someone who is holding a hostage?

Naturally, comments such as "GUYS members have become hostages of aliens to threaten Ultraman, it's too shameful, it's better to die in battle" have become rampant.

“GUYS failed in their duty,” the middle-aged man in a suit said to the microphone the reporter had reached out to. “Even if they didn’t cooperate with Ultraman to eliminate the invading aliens and monsters, they shouldn’t have held us back.”

"So, what's your opinion?" the reporter followed up at the opportune moment.

The interviewee adjusted his glasses in front of the camera: "Of course... I think we can ignore the hostages and just detain the two team members, right? This city has nearly ten million citizens."

The reporter pointed the microphone at another citizen who was looking down at his phone.

"Huh? My opinion?" He looked at the camera with a puzzled expression. "Could you censor it... I was thinking that it would be best to have the best of both worlds."

The reporter asked, "You want to save the GUYS members, but you also hope to defeat the aliens?"

"Of course! It would be great if no one died," he said, his voice lowering. "I know it's unlikely, after all, they were taken hostage and Mebius was defeated."

"So, what is your choice?"

"Hmm... if we're talking about minimizing losses..." He pursed his lips, but finally said, "If GUYS can make a sacrifice..."

A hand suddenly shoved his face away, and the agitated young man squeezed in front of the microphone, roaring at the stunned reporter, "What is your intention in conducting this kind of interview at this time?! When terrorists were taking citizens hostage, why didn't you discuss whether or not to kill them?"

The camera shook as the man grabbed the reporter by the collar, pulling and tugging at him until he bumped into the lens.

"Sir, you're too excited. This is just a feedback collection..."

"Who wants to be taken hostage? Instead of working together to take down Grotim, are we going to force the GUYS members who have been protecting us all along to commit suicide as an apology?!"

"Snapped!"

Aihara Ryu, whose upper body was wrapped in bandages, turned off the TV in frustration.

He and Teppei Kuze suffered frostbite during the battle between Grozam and Mebius. They barely managed to pilot the Wing back to base, and afterwards, he had to stay in the GUYS hospital.

He woke up, turned on the TV, and the first news he saw was this kind of thing.

If it weren't for the young man who roared into the microphone at the end, he probably would have started to question his original intention of joining GUYS.

Teppei Kuze's emotions were quite stable. He was leaning against the pillow, with an IV drip in one hand and working on the computer with the other—though his complexion was a little pale.

"Hey, that Desrem mentioned, the other Ultra Warriors," Aihara Ryu said, "are they really going to appear?"

“I don’t know if they will appear or not, but if we can save the future, the situation will improve a lot. If an Ultra Warrior does appear, they will have a chance to rescue Sadaharu and Marina while dealing with the aliens.” As he said this, Teppei Kuze looked up at the slowly dripping medicine. “The captain has gone to prepare the Propulsion, but we have to stay here. It’s really frustrating.”

……

The evacuation of the entire city of Takakura has been completed. Residents are advised not to approach the cordoned-off area.

Ultraman Mebius still shows no signs of waking up. Regarding the GUYS hostage situation, let's hear what the experts have to say.

"This issue has been debated for a long time," the cafeteria was playing a news broadcast. Kawashima Wataru tried a bite of today's side dish: "Ptooey, this stuff is so weird, do you all eat this?"

“Vinegar kelp, it’s a very common dish…” Sugiyama Mao chewed her food like a hamster, and after swallowing, she continued, “You talk as if you’ve never eaten it before.”

Kawashima raised an eyebrow, pushed the vinegared kelp aside, and chose to continue the previous topic: "Hey, what do you guys think?"

"What?" Yuan Kong's voice was muffled.

"That GUYS hostage issue, a lot of people are debating it, don't you guys have any opinions?"

[GUYS's responsibility is to protect citizens; there is no doubt that GUYS should fulfill its obligations when citizens are in danger...]

Yu Nayuan glanced sideways at the expert on the news who was talking non-stop: "What opinion can I have? When digging people out of the ruins, I can sacrifice myself to save people, but if someone asks me to sacrifice myself... go cool off somewhere else."

"In terms of outcome, there's no difference between the two scenarios, is there?" Kawashima's tone, tinged with a hint of inquiry, reflected the strange, lower-level thinking: "Isn't it said that rescue teams protect lives? What that expert said also has some merit..."

reason?"

"How did you meet my sister?" Yamashita Rikuto, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked.

"Huh? Why did we suddenly switch to this question..." Kawashima Wataru was a little confused.

Yamashita Rikuto put down his chopsticks and said, "What my sister dislikes most is people who are demanding of others."

"?"

Seeing that the other person still looked confused, Yamashita Rikuto couldn't help but explain, "The word 'sacrifice' is noble when used to demand it of oneself, but harsh when used to demand it of others. This is called 'self-discipline' and 'tolerance'... You actually think that expert's opinion makes sense? Hasn't Kaoru-nee-san ever argued with you about it?"

“You become surprisingly talkative when it comes to your sister.” Yuan Kong interjected, and as expected, he received a glare in response.

Upon hearing this, Kawashima scratched the back of his head and laughed, "We probably didn't argue because we haven't known each other for very long. To be precise... about two weeks ago."

"Huh?" Keita Kobayashi, who had been silent for a while, finally found a topic he liked: "Love at first sight?"

"I guess so..."

Thank you for the expert's explanation. Now let's continue with the report from the front lines.

"Speaking of which, you guys really have no sense of urgency," Kawashima Wataru continued, under the gazes of the group. "Mebius has been defeated, and GUYS has been taken hostage, yet you're still arguing about this kind of thing. Didn't Grozam say that His Majesty the Dark Emperor is about to descend?" (Monthly membership group 694936135)

"Of course I was nervous. I even thought about what I would do if the world really ended, and whether it would be too late to resign and go back to my hometown in Okinawa," Yonahara Sora said, laughing out loud. "But what's the use of being anxious all the time? GUYS must be thinking of a solution, as well as other Ultra Warriors. By sticking to our posts, we are helping them."

"It's rare to hear anything ivory from you." Yamashita, the vengeful Lu Dou, found his opportunity.

"Those who underestimate others will have trouble even drinking cold water!"

"My bad luck doesn't work on me."

……

"The Wing is fully operational, and all components damaged by the low temperature have been replaced." In the Phoenix Nest command center, the gray-haired Chief Engineer Araishi said, "Dr. Fujisawa's Magnelium Medical Beam has been successfully deployed, but..."

Shingo Sakamizu didn't rush to speak, waiting for him to continue.

"Who do you want to pilot it? Right now, only you and Kinoshita can be deployed. One plane isn't enough to deal with an enemy like that."

“I will pilot the Wing, and the Propulsion…” Shingo Sakami turned his gaze to the team member who wore glasses and had always been very reserved.

Amakuya Kinomi caught his gaze, and she hesitated slightly.

Although I have received fighter jet pilot training, my operational skills are far inferior to those of my teammates who are frequently in combat.

Moreover, this mission is crucial—a mission to save the future. While she is confident in helping the children regain their confidence, she also needs to build confidence in herself under these circumstances…

She lowered her head.

"Leave it to me! I can still fight!"

"Hey!" Upon hearing the voice, Amani Kimomi looked up and saw the command room door open with a "click," and Aihara Ryu and Kuze Teppei walked in.

Aihara Ryu leaned on a cane with one hand. His left foot was completely wrapped in bandages due to frostbite, making him look rather disheveled. However, he didn't show any signs of injury, as if he wasn't the one who was injured.

Fujisawa Asami, GUYS's other-dimensional research expert, came up and patted his sling hand. The guy, who had been forcibly holding on and acting all energetic, immediately let out a "whoop" and shrank into a lobster.

“Trying to be strong will only make things worse,” Fujisawa Asami said, looking at Kuze Teppei, who was holding the IV stand, and extending the hand that had just slapped Aihara Ryu into a lobster shape.

"Ah, I'll pass!" Teppei Kuze quickly moved the IV stand, took small steps back, and huddled behind his teammate.

The beauty of the Tian Gu tree takes all of this into account.

"All the teammates I could rely on are missing or injured, and even the captain has to go into battle himself." Realizing this, the girl, whom Fujisawa Asami called "Little Bunny," understood the predicament she was facing.

My teammates have always been the ones charging ahead, now it's my turn.

"Please let me go!"

You can't always rely on your teammates; you'll need yourself in the future. Sadaharu and Marina are waiting for you!

"Kinoshita, you..." The wounded soldiers couldn't help but look worried, but when they saw her determined eyes, they swallowed their words.

At that moment, hurried footsteps could be heard in the corridor.

"Finally caught up!" Estend rushed into the command room, panting, "Phew, have you decided who will pilot the Propulsion?"

Everyone turned their attention to the beauty of the Amakuya tree.
