Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

Although these Bogaru were killed by unknown people, he didn't believe these creatures had suddenly appeared here today. They had most likely existed on this planet for a long time. But if that were the case, then what about Sakahiro, an ordinary human...?

Hibino Mirai clenched her fists, unable to bear thinking any further.

After a while, at full speed, Hibino Mirai finally arrived at her destination.

It was a cargo ship docked on the ground, the very one he remembered, only now it was much more dilapidated than before.

"Boom!"

The trail of flames that had been violently spewing from the rear of the Speedster gradually subsided, and under Hibino Mirai's control, it slowly descended towards the ground.

Before the Speedster had even come to a complete stop, Hibino Mirai jumped off and ran towards the Arendas.

"hateful!"

He immediately spotted the wide-open gate on the cargo ship and gritted his teeth.

Hibino Mirai already had a premonition, but since he was already here, he had to go in and check no matter what.

What if a miracle happens...?

With a slight pursing of her lips, Hibino Mirai stepped inside the Arendas.

His gaze swept back and forth across the not-so-spacious cabin passageway, not missing a single detail.

But the more he looked, the more he felt that hope was fading.

The cabin was dark, without a single light source, and some items were scattered messily on the floor, covered with a thick layer of dust.

This place looks like it hasn't been lived in for a long time.

"Ok?"

At that moment, Hibino Mirai suddenly let out a surprised nasal sound. He looked ahead and saw a line of faint footprints on a fork in the road.

Could it be...?

His heart skipped a beat, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Roar!"

Just then, before he could make his next move, a strange roar suddenly rang out from deep within the cargo ship.

"Hiroto!"

Hibino Mirai's expression suddenly changed. He cried out and rushed towards the sound.

In his haste, he displayed superhuman speed, navigating the winding passages in a matter of moments and arriving at the cabin from which the roar had come.

Without hesitation, he pushed open the cabin door.

"Hong..."

Hibino Mirai called out urgently, but stopped before he could finish speaking.

There was indeed a figure standing in front of him, but that figure was not the one he had come here to find; rather, it was someone he knew very well.

"Ming... Brother Minghui, what are you doing here?"

Hibino Mirai's face showed astonishment, and he asked a question.

Minghui lowered his raised hand, and with his movement, a compressed ball of flesh in mid-air in front of him crashed to the ground.

After finishing all this, Minghui turned his head and smiled gently:

"It's the future, you've arrived."

Hibino Mirai glanced at the rolling ball of flesh on the ground, and her heart skipped a beat.

Although the fleshy ball was twisted and squeezed violently, one could still vaguely see the shape of a small Bogaru, but it was now undoubtedly dead beyond any doubt.

That's probably the guy who made that noise just now...

Hibino Mirai thought to himself, but these things were not important to him, and he quickly put them out of his mind.

He looked at Minghui in front of him and asked again:

"Brother Minghui, what are you doing here?"

Faced with his question, Minghui smiled and said:

"An alternate dimension has appeared near Earth. I'm a little worried, so I came out to take a look."

Also, I'll help you out a bit while I'm at it...

After saying that, Minghui added something to his mind.

"I see. So you took care of those Bogaru too, Brother Minghui?"

Upon hearing this, Hibino Mirai suddenly realized.

Minghui nodded.

Since arriving on this planet, he has lost count of how many small or large Bogaru he has killed. There are an absurd number of those things here; it's quite possible that they have truly made this place their home.

That makes sense, though; for creatures like the Bogaru, there's nowhere in the entire universe more suitable for them than this.

At that moment, Hibino Mirai seemed to remember something, so he stepped forward and asked urgently:

"Brother Minghui, you..."

But before he could finish speaking, a faint calling came from afar:

"Future! Are you here?"

"Answer us now, about the future!"

Upon hearing these voices, Hibino Mirai paused in her movements.

“You’d better tell your friends to stop right away. There are probably smaller Bogaru around here. If they keep making such a fuss, they’ll easily attract those things. And for them, smaller Bogaru aren’t so easy to deal with.”

Minghui also heard their voices, and he spoke to Hibino Mirai.

"clear."

Upon hearing this, Hibino Mirai nodded and said:

"I'll send them back to the Phoenix!"

He didn't plan to call his companions over. Minghui was still here, and if they met, he wouldn't be able to explain why Minghui was in this alternate dimension.

"Dragon, I'm fine."

Hibino Mirai turned on the communicator that had been vibrating incessantly since the beginning and spoke into the other end.

"Great! You little rascal, you've worried us to death. Where are you now? Are you on the Arendas?"

"Wait here, we're coming in to find you!"

Aihara Ryu's voice came through the communicator.

Upon hearing Aihara Ryu's voice, Hibino Mirai panicked and quickly said:

"No! Wait! Listen to me, there are many small Bogaru nearby. It's very dangerous here. You must return to the Phoenix immediately!"

"But what about the distress signal? And if we leave, what about you?"

Aihara Ryu's voice turned serious.

"Don't worry about me, I'll catch up soon."

Outside the Arendas, Aihara Ryu and the others frowned as they listened to the voice coming from the communicator.

They wanted to say something more, but then Hibino Mirai's voice came through the communicator again, pleading in its tone:

"please!"

Upon hearing this, the group paused for a moment, exchanged glances, and finally nodded in agreement.

Inside the cabin, Minghui withdrew his extended senses. Looking at Hibino Mirai, who was putting her communicator back in her pocket, he sincerely said:

"In the future, you will have a group of good friends."

Hibino Mirai was taken aback by what he heard, then a bright smile appeared on his face:

"Of course!"

This was the first time he had shown such a genuine smile since hearing the news about the Arendas.

However, that smile came and went quickly, and he soon became concerned about something else.

He looked at Minghui, and asked somewhat nervously:

"Brother Minghui, you arrived here first. Did you spot anyone? They're Earthlings!"

"You're talking about... the owner of this thing, right?"

Minghui opened his palm and extended it forward, saying:

"Unfortunately, there was no trace of him."

Hibino Mirai looked into Akira's hand and saw a pocket watch in his palm.

He picked up the pocket watch and saw the name 'Hiroto Saka' engraved on the back.

Hibino Mirai's body trembled slightly at that moment. He gritted his teeth and couldn't help but raise his hand and wave:

"Damn it, we still can't save her!"

As he waved, it was as if he had triggered a switch; a screen next to him suddenly lit up, and at the same time, a sound came out:

"Hiroto! Hiroto!"

"..."

"You haven't even set foot on Earth yet, you can't just die like this!"

"Earth is just a planet I've never seen before. Bringing my mother back is more important than that!"

Hibino Mirai stared blankly at the scene on the screen, a look of sadness in her eyes.

Minghui glanced at Hibino Mirai, shook his head slightly, and shifted his gaze to the side.

A ray of light flashed in his eyes, and then everything he saw changed.

He saw the same scene that had occurred here months earlier.

In his eyes, a young figure was standing in the corner of the cabin, holding a weapon.
