Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

A few days ago, the Mefilas aliens and the Emperor's Third Legion were annihilated somewhere in the universe, which enraged the Emperor.

Everyone in the empire was on edge, and even he had been extremely cautious lately.

At this time, if he could bring some good news to the Alien Empera, even if it wasn't killing Zevis, but just dealing with Mebius, it would still elevate his status in the Alien Empera's eyes.

Now that the Mefilas aliens are dead and the Yapools are sealed away, only he and Grozam remain of the Dark Four.

Desrem felt that if he made a concerted effort at this time, he might be able to break free from the ranks of the Dark Lords and get closer to becoming the Emperor.

Therefore, even losing the Bogaru clan is acceptable!

"Stronger, even stronger..."

Gazing at the small Bogaru on the screen, which had stopped its frenzied slaughter, and watching its shape gradually change, Desrem's eyes lit up with anticipation.

............

"Hmm? This aura..."

Inside the cargo hold of the Arendas, Minghui, who was maintaining the spacetime tunnel, raised an eyebrow, sensing something.

He sensed it briefly, then a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"That's so thoughtful, it saved me a lot of trouble."

"Ahhh!"

At that moment, a pitiful scream rang out, the sound growing louder and louder, echoing throughout the cabin.

Minghui turned his head and saw a figure being thrown out from the space-time tunnel floating in the center of the cabin.

"Ahhh... Splash!"

A series of chaotic sounds rang out, and the thrown figure crashed directly into a pile of broken boxes.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Hiroto Saka pushed away the debris that was pressing down on him, and while crying out in pain, he got up from the floor.

Then, he looked up and saw Minghui smiling at him.

"Hello."

Minghui raised his hand in greeting.

"Uh...you...hello!"

Hiroto Saka responded somewhat haltingly, still not fully understanding the situation.

Just now, when he thought he was about to die in the monster's mouth, the Ultra Warrior he had seen before suddenly appeared and saved him.

The Ultra Warrior killed all the monsters, and then, without giving him a chance to explain, led him into an open passage and brought him here.

He knew he was most likely saved, but it all happened so fast that it felt unreal.

and......

Hiroto Saka noticed his surroundings and a look of confusion crossed his face.

"Is this the Arandas? But how did it get into this state?"

His gaze swept back and forth across the cabin, his expression growing increasingly suspicious.

"Let him explain this to you."

Seeing his expression, Minghui smiled and gestured behind him.

Hiroto Saka paused, turned around, and looked back.

Behind him, Mebius's figure slowly emerged in the air and gradually solidified.

"Ultraman..."

Hiroto Saka's face lit up with joy.

"Mebius! My name is Mebius!"

A youthful voice came from Mebius as he responded.

Then, he paused slightly and lowered his head gently:

"Hongren, before I explain all this to you, I must apologize first."

"apologize?"

Upon hearing this, Saka Hiroto was taken aback, and he asked curiously:

"Why should I apologize? You saved my life; I should be thanking you."

"because......"

A faint white light shone from Mebius's body, and his figure slowly faded in the light, transforming into another figure.

At that moment, Hiroto Saka thought he was looking in a mirror. Apart from the difference in his clothes, the figure in front of him looked exactly like him!

His eyes widened slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Because... I stole your identity."

At this moment, Hibino Mirai continued, his face filled with apology, saying:

"Feel sorry."

"this......"

Hiroto Saka opened his mouth, unsure of what expression to make.

At that moment, he thought of the much more dilapidated cargo hold beneath his feet. He was certain this was the cargo hold of the Arandas, but it had become like this...

Thinking this way, he began to have a guess.

Even if this guess seemed like a pipe dream to him, with the legendary Ultra Warriors around, nothing was impossible.

Hiroto Saka smiled gently and began to speak:

"A lot has happened during this time, hasn't it? Did Father and the others survive?"

"Captain Saka is alright. From that day on, he missed you every single day."

Hibino Mirai nodded. He took a moment to explain the current situation to Saka Hiroto, and then, seeing the latter's enlightened expression, he said:

"Don't worry, I won't use that posture again."

"There's no need for that. It's an honor to be recognized by an Ultra Warrior."

Hiroto Saka smiled and shook his head. He said:

"Besides, you must have many things on your mind during these past six months. What will happen to them if you give up this identity?"

"this......"

Hibino Mirai opened her mouth, but was somewhat speechless.

He hesitated for a moment. He hadn't thought that much about it before coming here, but he had to admit that Hiroto Saka was right. If he abandoned this stance, it would mean that he would also abandon the friendships he had formed with this stance.

But he couldn't bear to part with it.

He couldn't bear to part with his companions; he couldn't sever the bonds that burned beneath the flames.

Hiroto Saka noticed Hibino Mirai's hesitation and guessed that the other must have something she couldn't let go of.

A faint smile appeared on his face. He patted Hibino Mirai on the shoulder and said:

"You can use this identity as you like, I don't mind. You don't need to worry that my appearance will cause you trouble. If you don't mind, we..."

"There's another way!"

At that moment, Hibino Mirai's eyes lit up, and he shouted:

"We, the Ultra race, can assimilate with humans. At that time, we will be of one mind and body, without distinction between each other. I am Hiroto Saka, and you are Mirai Hibino!"

That way, there won't be any problem!

"assimilation?"

Hiroto Saka frowned and hesitated for a moment.

"Yes, don't worry, I won't influence your will, and you can take the lead at that time."

Hibino Mirai nodded vigorously, looking expectantly at Saka Hiroto, and said:

"what do you think?"

"this......"

Saka Hiroto lowered his head and thought for a moment. He seemed to have other considerations. In the end, he shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying, but this is no small matter, and I'd like to think about it."

Upon hearing this, Hibino Mirai nodded, understanding the other party's doubts, and said:

"I understand, and I respect your choice."

"Cuckoo..."

Just then, a soft sound rang out, and Saka Hiroto touched his stomach, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"Sorry, I'm a little hungry..."

Since setting off from Mars to Earth, he hadn't eaten anything in order to enjoy a long-awaited feast on Earth, and now, after all this trouble, he was starving.

Seeing this, Hibino Mirai laughed, took Saka Hiroto's hand, and walked outside, saying:

"Come on, I'll take you back to Earth right now! Captain Saka will be overjoyed to see you!"

Hiroto Saka was being pulled away, but then he remembered something and turned to look back:

"Oh right, that person from just now..."

His voice trailed off, and the figure he had just seen was no longer behind him.

“Brother Minghui has already left, don’t worry, he can go back on his own.”

Hibino Mirai said something to him.

Upon hearing this, Hiroto Saka nodded and said nothing more.

The two then walked through the corridor and exited the cargo hold of the Arendas.
