"The hospital is very busy today. Is there something wrong?"

Beidou hesitated, but since it was no longer a secret, he spoke.

"Before, an asteroid approached the Earth, and TAC planned to use missiles to destroy it, but just before the launch, the space launch center was attacked by astronauts, causing a large number of casualties."

Just a few hours ago, the launch of Maria I failed and was attacked by astronauts. The entire launch base was destroyed, causing huge losses. Including Maria I, all equipment was destroyed in the sea of ​​fire.

"Hey, this isn't serious?"

"Although the damage is huge, there is more than one space launch center, and there are still more than six days. The destroyed missiles can be remanufactured, so it's okay, it's just that time is a bit tight. Don't worry, our TAC team will protect this earth."

“That was really hard work!”

Beidou and Ling also said hello and left. He was not the only one from the TAC team who came to the hospital. He just accompanied the Yamanaka team members. Yamanaka Ichiro's fiancée Maya was a countdown officer at the space launch center. She was also injured in the astronaut attack. It was Yamanaka who rescued her in the sea of ​​fire. Fortunately, her injuries were not serious and she was sent back to the general observation ward from the emergency room.

Although Beidou spoke lightly about this incident, the situation was obviously very dangerous. The next time a missile is launched, it must be successful, otherwise the earth will really be destroyed by the evil star Koala.

However, in the event of an alien invasion, if another super beast appears, even Ace will be unable to take care of himself.

Chapter 4 Doubt

The nights in Tokyo in May are cool, spring is in full swing, and it is the time when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

In the early hours of the morning, the corridor of the TAC Central Ward was quiet. In the ward, Lingye, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes, and the housekeeper Jianye was sleeping soundly on the recliner beside the bed. Jianye should have enjoyed his retirement at his age, but he still insisted on taking care of Lingye himself.

Ling also put on her slippers and got out of bed. She didn't make much noise, but Jianye still woke up because of her alertness as a housekeeper.

"Why are you up, miss?"

"I'm just going to the bathroom. Go to sleep peacefully, Grandpa Jianye."

Seeing this, Jianye did not insist on getting up. After all, Ling was already a nine-year-old girl and did not need his company to go to the toilet.

After opening the door of the ward, Ling walked out. She didn't really want to go to the toilet, but she suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness like a premonition.

There was no one in the quiet corridor, but when Lingye thought her premonition was just an illusion, she heard hurried footsteps in the corridor in the distance. Lingye stopped and waited for a while, and soon a woman in a hospital gown ran over from the other side of the corridor.

"Are you Miss Maya?"

Maya didn't seem to be in good condition. She covered her shoulder with one hand as if she was injured, but she stopped because she was recognized unexpectedly.

"you are?"

"I'm Oshima Reiya. I heard Team Beidou mention you today. Miss Maya is in such a hurry. Did something happen?"

Faint footsteps could be heard in the distance, as if someone was chasing them. Maya bit her lip, she didn't have much time left, this girl actually knew a member of the TAC team, if she saw her affairs being known to the TAC team, she would probably be suspected.

Having made up her mind, 'Maya' gave Lingye a weird smile. The next moment, something surprising happened. 'Maya's' body twisted strangely, like a stone thrown into the reflection of water. When her appearance became clear again, standing in front of Lingye was a terrifying creature over two meters tall!

The monster's body is red and blue, and its flat round head looks like a giant shrimp. It is obviously not a creature from Earth, but an intelligent life form from the universe.

"Are you the alien who attacked the space launch center?" Ling was not as panicked as the other party expected. She asked calmly in the face of the terrifying alien.

Metron originally thought that the girl would be so frightened that she would faint after seeing his true face, but he never expected that she would be so calm. This was obviously beyond Metron's expectations. But the footsteps coming from the corridor were getting closer and closer, and he didn't have time to think about it. He stretched out his hands towards Lingye, and a blue-white light shone from his palms.

This is the Metron people's special trick. The light contains some particles unique to Metron, which are extremely lethal to the cells of Earth creatures and can take the life of an organism in an instant.

But Metron's sure-fire attack missed, and blocking the killing ray was a ball of light, a soft golden light.

This is definitely not the method of the earthlings, and this girl is not human either! The moment this thought came into the mind of the Metron alien, the footsteps of the pursuers had already reached the corner of the corridor. The next moment, the alien turned around and returned to Maya's appearance.

"Maya? Why are you here?"

Just now, the Metron destroyed the TAC team's safe and destroyed the design drawings of the Maria missile stored in it. The TAC team members chased the Metron all the way to the Central Hospital.

The ones who arrived at this moment were Zhongshan’s team members and Beidou, and Maya was Zhongshan’s fiancée.

"Brother Beidou, she is Metron..." Ling was about to tell Beidou the other party's identity, but she didn't expect someone to get there first.

"Ichiro, this girl is an alien, she just attacked me!" It was 'Maya' who spoke.

Looking at the two girls accusing each other of being aliens, Beidou and Zhongshan looked at each other, and then Zhongshan spoke first.

"Maya, what's going on?"

"I just heard a noise in the corridor, so I went out to check, and then I saw her. She, she is an alien! And she wanted to attack me!"

Seeing Maya's horrified expression, Lingye had to admire her acting skills, but Nakayama Ichiro obviously believed his fiancée's words. He pulled out a gun from his waist and pointed it at Lingye. "How dare you attack Maya again!"

"Wait a minute, Yamanaka!" Beidou pushed Yamanaka's pistol away, "The matter has not been fully investigated yet!"

"It's clear enough! Not only did the Metrons hurt Maya before, they are now attacking her again. Is this girl the one you investigated before? The TAC team has long suspected her, and this time she's finally exposed!"

"Brother Beidou, I am not from Metron."

Although Ling was not afraid of being pointed at by a gun, she still felt uncomfortable. The aliens actually used the thief crying thief trick, which was old-fashioned but really annoying. What was worse was that on one side was the fiancée of a TAC team member, and on the other side was the original subject of the TAC team's investigation. She was disadvantaged from both sides.

But Hokuto Seiji did not make a judgment as easily as Yamanaka Ichiro. He looked at Lingya, looked at her shoulder carefully, then looked at Maya's shoulder, and then his expression became stern.

"When I was chasing him just now, I shot Metron in the right arm. Ms. Maya, can you tell me what happened to your arm?"

"Beidou, what do you mean by that?" Yamanaka Ichiro said angrily, "Are you crazy? You would rather believe this suspicious little guy than Maya? She is my fiancée. We have known each other for seven years. Can't I trust my words?"

"But 'Maya' does have an injury on her right shoulder!"

"This guy must have hurt Maya just now!" Yamanaka glared at Lingye.

Although Beidou was more objective than him from a third-party perspective, he didn't know how to persuade Shanzhong. At this moment, the communicators on their wrists rang at the same time.

"All TAC members, assemble! All TAC members, assemble! There are super beasts attacking in front of the base!"

"Super beast?" Yamanaka glared at Lingye angrily, "This guy must not stay here, she will hurt Maya!"

"But……"

"Okay, I get it." Ling interrupted Beidou who wanted to speak for her, "Is it okay for me to go with you? But what about Maya? Aren't you going to take her with you?"

"That's none of your concern!"

Beidou thought about it and agreed with this decision. But his judgment was contrary to Yamanaka's. If Maya was really a Metronian, then Ling, who had seen through her identity, would be in danger if she stayed here.

The incoming super beast is code-named Dragli, and it is a horrifying weapon created by the Yabo people from another dimension. The super beast is already difficult enough to deal with, and now it appears when the Metrons and the evil star Koala are attacking, which is simply adding insult to injury.

When Beidou and Yamanaka arrived at the scene, Dragley had already destroyed the base's outer defense system, and the fire illuminated the surrounding area like daylight.

"team leader!"

"Beidou, Yamanaka, you came at the right time... Who is she? Why did you bring ordinary people to the battlefield?" Long had seen Lingye's information before, but had never seen her in person, so of course he couldn't recognize her.

"She is Reiya Oshima. Just now, Team Yamanaka and I chased the Metron alien to the central hospital. Team Yamanaka insisted on suspecting that Reiya was also a Metron alien." Beidou only stated Team Yamanaka's suspicion, but did not express his own judgment.

Of course, Captain Long also heard the hidden meaning in Beidou's words. He glanced at Beidou and then at Lingye. There was no time to delve into the matter on the battlefield.

"I understand, but civilians shouldn't be on the battlefield anyway. Team member Nan, take her to a safe place."

"Understood." After receiving the order, Nan Xizi pulled Ling and ran towards the shelter area.

The super beast is very strong. Conventional human weapons can hardly cause any harm to it. It is even difficult to stop it for a moment, unless weapons of mass destruction are used. However, the damage to the city will be even greater than that of the super beast itself. The military will not make such a choice unless it is absolutely necessary.

The only one who could defeat it was Ace. Realizing this, Nan Xizi was anxious to reunite with Beidou. She and Ling had already crossed the other side of the mountain.

"Sister Xizi, you can just send me here. I will hide here in the mountains obediently."

"But..." Nan Xizi was about to speak, but she found that the ring on her right hand flashed.

The rings in the hands of Hokuto Seiji and Minami Yuko are the certificates of the Galactic Federation given by the Ultra Brothers, and are also the key props for the two to transform into Ultraman Ace. When the rings flash, it means that the Ultraman Ace living in the bodies of the two also judges that it is time to attack.

Now was not the time to delay, so Nan Xizi nodded in agreement, "Then you better be careful and don't get close to the battlefield!"

"I understand. Do your best."

Ling also spoke with a double meaning. When she saw the ring on Nan Xizi's hand flashing, she already knew the other party's identity. When the ring flashed, it emitted an aura similar to the light of Gaia. When she thought of the same ring she had seen on Beidou's hand before, the identities of the two were obvious.

"Ultraman Ace, the Giant of Light who saves the Earth..."

Chapter 5 Ace Barrier

"Members of the North Star Team!"

Because of the attack of the super beast, the TAC team members had to disperse. Amidst the heavy gunfire, Nan Xizi finally found Hokuto Seiji in a battle pit.

The two rings felt each other because of their proximity and began to shine again.

"Yuko, merge into Ace!"

"But the aliens haven't shown up yet."

Even for Ace, it would be very dangerous if he was ambushed by aliens when facing the Ultra Beasts. The original plan of the two was to find out the details of the Ultra Beasts and the aliens and then act together.

"The alien has appeared a long time ago and is now in the Central Hospital." Beidou said flatly. The Yamanaka team members were blinded by their personal feelings for Maya and refused to accept the truth. They even used the excuse to doubt Oshima Reiya, but Beidou had already determined the identity of 'Maya'.

Since Beidou said so, Nan Xizi believed his judgment and didn't ask any more questions.

"We need to resolve this battle as soon as possible. The Metrons may appear on the battlefield at any time. It will be dangerous if we are caught in a pincer attack, so I think we must use the Ace Barrier." Said Hokuto Seiji.

Ace Barrier is the special skill of Ultraman Ace, and there are very few Ultra Warriors in the entire Land of Light who can learn it. Because it is dangerous to the user himself, like a few skills such as "Ultra Bomb", it is listed as a "forbidden move" by the Land of Light. Except for the official members of the Space Guard, ordinary people are not allowed to learn and use it.

Because the requirements for telekinesis are extremely high, even in the Space Guard, only the captain and Ace can learn it.

Use powerful telekinesis to distort space and seal the enemy into a dimensional wall. There is no way to crack it, no way to resist it, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it can be sealed.

But such a skill will consume half of Ace's energy. That's why Beidou asked Nan Xizi for advice, because Ace is the combination of Beidou and Nan Xizi, so it will randomly consume the energy of one of them, which is also very dangerous to the human body itself. Using Ace's barrier may hurt him, or it may be Nan Xizi.

Because they were facing the Yabo people from another dimension, who were proficient in dimensional technology. Even if they used the Ace Barrier to exile the super beast to another dimension, it would not be foolproof. It might be found by the Yabo people's advanced science and technology soon. All they could do was buy some time. It could be a day, or it could be shorter. But with the demon star Koala getting closer and the Maria II missile being manufactured at a rapid pace, a day was also very precious.

"I have no objection, Beidou, let's go."

Both of them were determined, and the rings touched each other. In an instant, the energy contained in the rings was released, bursting out with strong light.

The giant of light Ace appeared in the light!

The giant stood on the earth, like a god from mythology.

Ling did not hide in a safe place as she had promised Minami Xizi. Instead, she stood on the top of the hill and looked at the entire battlefield with the clearest view.

Although Lingye has seen giants saving cities countless times since she was a child, she was still a babbling baby when the God of War first appeared on Earth. The first generation, Seven, Jack, this city and this planet have been protected by the Giant of Light time and time again. They are the last and strongest guardians of the Earth who will never fail.

But for the soul from another world, this was the first time she saw Ultraman in person, the patron saint of mankind!

Because he was afraid that the aliens might appear at any time, Ace did not fight with the Ultra Beasts as he had done in the past. Instead, he decisively used his super powers after kicking the Ultra Beasts away to rescue the TAC team.

The power of that kick was so great that Ling, who was standing on the hill and watching from a close first-person perspective, couldn't even describe it. It was like mountains colliding with each other, with an explosive force of hundreds of thousands of tons, like a natural disaster like a volcanic eruption.

Ace is very strong. Facing super beasts that are several times stronger than the previous monsters, he can still rescue humans again and again, because his fighting ability is top-notch even among the Ultra Brothers. Ace's strength is not as good as the first generation, his energy intensity is not as strong as Zoffy, and he does not have sharp weapons like Jack's bracelet and Seven's head dart. Ace's strength lies in his light skills and super powers!

Among the Ultra Brothers, when it comes to superpower skills, if Ace is willing to lose to second place, no one dares to say that he is the best. Even Seven, who is good at mind control, would find it difficult to gain any advantage when competing with Ace in terms of superpowers.

At this moment, he was spinning his body at high speed, releasing energy in a strange form. This energy communicated with the space itself with a strange rhythm. The super beast Dragli who was about to resist suddenly found himself unable to move.
