Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 332: Shotaro Hidari is captured; the final battle between Skull and Terror.

Watching Narumi Shokichi walk away towards these strange people, Shotaro gritted his teeth, picked up the little girl beside him, and ran out of the alley.

Shotaro knew that staying would only cause trouble for Ou Yasan, and leaving with his client was the best option.

But he was really unwilling to accept it!

He wanted to fight alongside O'Ya-Sang!

"Huff!" Shotaro ran a long way with the little girl in his arms before stopping, putting her down, and panting heavily with his hands on his knees.

While panting, Shotaro looked back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no monsters were chasing him.

It's great that those weirdos didn't catch up.

I wonder how Ou Yasan is doing now, whether she has escaped from those strange people.

Shotaro suppressed his unease and looked down at the little girl beside him, who was staring at him with a blank expression.

What should he do next?

This is the first time he's ever taken care of a child...

In short, find a place to hide and wait for Ou Yasan to contact him, or wait until nightfall and return to the office under the cover of darkness.

After making the decision, Shotaro looked down at the little girl beside him and smiled, "Let's find a place to hide so the bad guys won't find us, okay?"

"Okay!" The little girl hugged the white teddy bear and nodded vigorously.

As Shotaro took the little girl's hand, intending to lead her to a place to hide, a group of men in black suits suddenly emerged from the street ahead.

Upon seeing the group of men in black who had suddenly appeared, Shotaro's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Sure enough, the group of men in black ran straight toward them after they saw them.

"Yabai!" Shotaro's expression changed, and he picked up the little girl and ran away.

"Chase!" The leader of the men in black led the others in black and immediately gave chase.

Shotaro looked back at the group of men in black who were relentlessly pursuing him, feeling slightly anxious.

He has to find a way to shake them off; he's almost too exhausted to run anymore.

Fortunately, Shotaro was very familiar with the streets and alleys of Futo, and easily shook off the group of men in black.

Seeing that they had lost their target, the leader of the men in black was also somewhat annoyed.

"He had a child with him, he couldn't have gone far, he must still be nearby. Search!"

"yes!"

The men in black immediately scattered, searching everywhere for Shotaro's whereabouts.

Looking at the men in black searching for them outside, Shotaro leaned against the wall of the apartment building, his hands on his knees, panting heavily. His breathing sounded like a broken bellows.

He was completely unable to run anymore.

He was already very tired after carrying this little guy so far.

He had only just caught his breath and hadn't recovered much of his strength when he was chased by these men in black for so long, and his strength was completely drained.

The only thing we can do is take her and hide in a residential building for a while.

After a while, Shotaro recovered and, holding the little girl's hand, went up to a higher floor to avoid being discovered by the men in black.

There are men in black everywhere outside, so they have no choice but to hide here for the time being.

Shotaro Sato leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the ground.

The little girl also squatted down next to Shotaro, holding a white teddy bear, and looked at him.

Shotaro looked down at the little girl who was staring at him, a gentle smile on his face. He reached out and patted her head, comforting her, "Don't worry, it'll be alright soon."

"Mmm." The little girl nodded, hugging her teddy bear.

But not long after they hid inside, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence inside the apartment building.

Four masquerade hybrids ran up from downstairs and slowly approached Shotaro.

Upon seeing the four masquerade hybrids walking up from downstairs, Shotaro Hidari suddenly stood up and instinctively shielded the little girl behind him.

The next moment, footsteps sounded behind Shotaro.

Shotaro looked back and saw three masquerade hybrids coming up from another staircase, blocking their way.

"Oh no..." Shotaro's heart pounded as he looked at the situation where he was surrounded from both sides.

"Kid, get out of the way!" The leader of the masquerade hybrids pointed at Shotaro Hidari and said.

"You monsters won't even touch a hair on her head!" Shotaro swung his fist and punched the masquerade doppelganger in front of him.

"Snapped!"

The fist and palm collided, making a soft sound in the quiet corridor.

Shotaro's punch was easily caught by the leader of the masquerade doppelgangers.

"What?!" Shotaro looked at his fist being easily caught by the masquerade doppelganger, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Bang!"

The masquerade hybrid punched Shotaro Hidari in the stomach, producing a dull thud.

"Ugh!" Shotaro suddenly arched his back, let out a painful groan, and collapsed to the ground clutching his stomach in great pain.

The excruciating pain in his abdomen caused Shotaro Hidari, who was lying on the ground, to break out in a cold sweat.

"Onii-chan!" The little girl looked at Shotaro with concern.

"Hey, you didn't kill him, did you? The curator said he was to be captured alive." Seeing Shotaro fall straight to the ground, one of the masquerade doppelgangers standing behind the one who had done it couldn't help but speak up.

"I know what I'm doing. I'm just teaching this kid a lesson," the masquerade hybrid who made the move said calmly.

During the conversation, one of the masquerade infiltrators picked up the little girl and intended to take her away.

Watching the little girl being carried away by the masquerade doppelganger, Shotaro gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his abdomen, and struggled to his feet. He lunged at the doppelganger, roaring, "Let her go!"

However, just as Shotaro Hidari lunged forward, he was stopped by a masquerade doppelganger.

He grabbed Shotaro's shoulder and shoved him to the side, causing Shotaro's back to slam against the wall.

Before he could make a move, the masquerade doppelganger behind Shotaro grabbed Shotaro's arm, turned him to face him, and then delivered a knee strike to Shotaro's abdomen.

Shotaro's body hunched over, and he stumbled back several steps before collapsing to his knees.

"Don't go, put her down!" Shotaro Sato struggled to reach out and hug the ankle of the masquerade mix, speaking weakly.

"Is this kid an idiot?"

"What do we do now?"

"Knock him out and take him away."

"Alright, just be careful."

"Go easy on me, don't cause any problems. I don't want to face the director's wrath."

"You make it sound like I really want to."

The group of masquerade hybrids discussed the matter briefly before making their decision.

One of the masquerade hybrids delivered a karate chop to the back of Shotaro's neck, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.

After knocking Shotaro unconscious, a Masquerade Doppelganger carried him on his shoulder and left the apartment building with the other Masquerade Doppelgangers.

……

the other side.

Narumi Shokichi arrived at the address given by Sonozaki Ryubei—the rooftop of an empty residential building.

After Narumi Shokichi arrived, a black swamp with flashing electric arcs suddenly appeared on the ground of the rooftop.

A figure slowly emerged from the black swamp and stood in front of the entrance on the rooftop.

"I've come to keep my appointment. Where's Shotaro?" Narumi Shokichi asked coldly, looking at the person filled with fear.

As the Fear-Mixed One raised his hand, several more figures emerged from the black swamp beneath his feet.

Six masquerade doppelgangers emerged from the black swamp, and one of them was carrying Shotaro Hidari on his shoulder.

In addition, the little girl he rescued was also captured.

"Shoutaro!"

"Your disciple is alright, he was just knocked unconscious. If you want him to live, try to defeat me." The Fear-Mixed Being looked at Narumi Shoki and laughed.

Without hesitation, Narumi Shokichi took out the Lost Driver and put it on his waist.

"Skull!" Narumi Shokichi took out the skull memory and pressed the button on the memory.

"Hen Shin!" Narumi Shokichi looked at the Fear Doppelganger laughing loudly in front of him, inserted the skull memory in his hand into the Lost Driver, and unfolded it.

"Skull!"

On the surface of the Lost Driver, a purple skull pattern made of the letter S popped out.

The next moment, countless fragments of armor, accompanied by a whistling wind, covered Narumi Shokichi's body.

Skull put the hat back on his head and looked at the Fear Doppelgangers and Masquerade Doppelgangers in front of him.

The masquerade doppelgangers standing in front of the Fear Doppelganger immediately rushed towards Skul after seeing him transform.

Skull strode forward, stood in front of a masquerade infiltrator, swung his arm, and delivered a powerful punch to the man's face.

This punch sent him tumbling backwards in the air before crashing to the ground.

Then, Skull delivered a spinning back kick, knocking down a masquerade doppelganger who was trying to sneak up from behind.

The remaining masquerade hybrids were all knocked to the ground by Skull with a few punches and kicks.

After Skull defeated all the Masquerade Doppelgangers, the Fear Doppelganger, who had been watching the show with its hands behind its back, finally made its move.

He raised his arm, and a pool of black sludge, crackling with azure arcs of electricity, surged toward Skull.

Skull pulled out a skull-shaped Magnum from behind his back, and it materialized in his hand.

After obtaining the skull-shaped Magnum, Skull fired repeatedly at the black mud surging towards him.

"Bang bang bang!"

The purple light bullet struck the black sludge, shattering it instantly and sending black sludge flying everywhere.

While the Fear Hybrid's mental attacks have no effect on Skull, the black sludge he creates can damage him. (In the TV series, this move can directly disintegrate the Ultimate W ability.)

Not far away, Shen Yun was watching the battle between the Fear Dopant and Kamen Rider Skull.

Watching the Fear Hybrid relentlessly attack Kamen Rider Skull with black sludge crackling with azure arcs of electricity, Shen Yun felt a little strange.

Why doesn't the Fear Hybrid unleash a Fear Dragon to attack Skull?

Is it overconfidence, or...?

Sonozaki Ryubei hasn't developed this ability yet?

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from behind Shen Yun.

A2, who was standing beside Shen Yun, also heard the footsteps. She turned around and glanced back before looking away.

Shen Yun turned around and saw a woman wearing a black trench coat, a black knitted hat, bandages wrapped around her face, black sunglasses, and long black hair reaching her waist slowly walk to Shen Yun's side, watching the battle below.

"Shroud, who do you think will win between them?" Shen Yun glanced at the battle below and asked with interest.

"Narumi Shōkichi," Shroud said calmly.

"Oh? Why?"

"Although he has a high compatibility with Terror, he hasn't fully developed Terror's abilities yet and can't summon the Dread Dragon. Without the Dread Dragon's protection, Terror's biggest weakness is close combat. Especially since Terror's mental attacks are ineffective against Skull, he will never be a match for Skull," Shroud said calmly.

"Oh? So you mean if Terror can summon the Dread Dragon to help in battle, then Skull will lose to Terror?" Shen Yun turned his head to look at Shroud beside him and said with a smile.

"Even if he can summon the Dread Dragon to help him, it will only make things a little more difficult for Skull," Shroud said calmly.

Shen Yun smiled and then turned his gaze to the battle not far away.

The battle, which was originally evenly matched, has taken a turn for the worse.

Shotaro, who had been knocked unconscious by the masquerade doppelganger, slowly regained consciousness.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Shotaro grimaced, clutching his still-throbbing stomach.

Seeing Shotaro waking up, Skull was momentarily distracted.

It was this momentary distraction that allowed the Fear Hybrid to seize the opportunity, raising its hand and hurling a black sludge at Skull.

By the time Skull came to her senses, it was too late to dodge.

The black sludge, crackling with azure arcs of electricity, struck Skull precisely in the chest, sending him flying. Skull's body was enveloped in a purple whirlwind, and his knight armor disintegrated in mid-air.

Narumi Shokichi flew a distance and crashed heavily to the ground, his hat rolling off his head.

Seeing Narumi Shokichi lying on the ground, the Fear Mixture laughed loudly and said, "The outcome is decided."

"Oh my god?!" Shotaro, who had just woken up, exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Shokichi Narumi lying on the ground.

Shotaro did not witness the scene where Narumi Sokichi was disintegrated by the Fear Mixture, so he was unaware of Narumi Sokichi's true identity.

Narumi Shoji coldly watched the laughing maniac, picked up the hat that had rolled to the side, quickly got up from the ground, and said coldly, "Don't be too happy yet, I haven't lost yet."
