Ace's energy was almost exhausted. Not only him, but every Ultra Brother was like this.
"Ace, the only way now is for us to give you all the remaining energy." The first generation walked in front of Ace, and his words also represented the wishes of all Ultra Brothers.
"That won't work. Without energy, you will all freeze to death. That won't work. There must be another way. If we send a distress signal to the Kingdom of Light now, maybe we can still make it in time."
"There are no reinforcements, Ultra Father is still on the front line, and the Yawa people have chosen a good time. Now Taro is the only one at the Space Guard Headquarters of the Kingdom of Light. As you know, Taro is not able to take charge on his own right now, and he has not even passed Ultra Father's training assessment. Invading the Earth is exactly what the Yawa people want, and they trapped us here for this reason. Now you are the only one who can save the Earth and stop the Yawa people's conspiracy."
"No, we still have Gaia!" Ace insisted. The previous battles had proven that Gaia was also a trustworthy Ultraman. "With her here, Earth is not without a chance of winning."
"That's why you should go back." Zoffy put his hands on Ace's shoulders, forcing him to look at him instead of lowering his head. "Listen to me, Ace. The King of Ultra once told us about Ultraman Gaia."
"King of Ultra?"
"Yes, he lived deep in the King's Planet and came to the Kingdom of Light not long ago. He told us that Gaia is a giant of light born on Earth. She is the future and hope of that planet."
"We all know how similar Earth is to the Kingdom of Light. That is our homeland that we can never return to. We failed to defend our homeland back then, and this time, we must not let Earth suffer the same fate."
Before the Spark Tower was lit, before their star went out, the former Ultra Star was their ancestral star in their memories, a remembrance that they could not give up.
"The light of the Earth is still very young and needs our protection. I believe that one day in the future, the Earth will become another kingdom of light, and will truly fight side by side with us in this dark universe, and help each other. So, before that, we must protect it well. We must not let that little flame of light go out in the darkness."
"Ace, do you understand what big brother said?"
The First Generation, Seven, and Jack have already walked to the left and right and behind of Ace respectively, and together with Zoffy, they surround Ace in the middle.
"If we stay here, all of us five Ultramen will freeze to death. You are our only hope. Go back and destroy the Ultra Beasts and thwart the Yawa people's conspiracy. Please."
Without waiting for Ace to answer, the four Ultra Warriors stretched out their hands, clasped them together, and gathered the remaining energy into Ace's body. The energy lights of the four Ultra Warriors also flickered.
Chapter 39: Light in the Darkness
In the shrine, a hazy mist spread out, like a ghost with bared fangs and claws.
But Freya was not panicked. Unlike Sakura, she was born into a magical family and had seen many incredible things, and the Clow Cards were just one of them.
"Return to your original form, Clow Card!"
The words that she often heard on TV came out of her own mouth. This made Ling feel a little strange, as if she had really become Freya.
But at this moment, Director Asaka suddenly said "Cut".
Coming out of some strange feeling, Ling looked at the director hesitantly.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No, it's none of your business. Everyone listen to me, pack up quickly, the government has just issued a red evacuation order, a super beast has appeared, and all citizens are required to evacuate immediately. The driver has already driven the car out of the cave, let's leave here immediately and go to the nearest shelter!"
Upon hearing this, the crew and actors quickly took action. Monster attacks are commonplace for people living in Tokyo. Perhaps because TAC's Far East branch is here, the probability of this city being attacked by monsters is ridiculously high. Citizens are also familiar with the process of evacuation.
"Let the kids get on the bus first!"
There were many children among the actors filming, and they were chattering loudly. Assistant Matsumoto was a little flustered for a moment, and Sakura followed the crowd and got on the bus.
"Wait, where's Reiya?"
Matsumoto, who was counting the number of people, looked around and found that Lingye was indeed not in the car, and all the other children except her were present.
"Director, Director Asaka, Ling isn't in the car either!"
"Yes, I see. She just left with Butler Jianye. They will go to the shelter room by themselves."
During the filming, Mino, who was Reiya's guardian, was always on the scene. Just now, in the chaos of everyone, he greeted Asaka and took Reiya away. Asaka was not surprised by this. People in big families always have some unique rules. Maybe they even have private shelters.
"Ah, they've already left?" In that case, Matsumoto didn't bother to think about it anymore. "Then everyone else is here."
"Okay, let's go."
The driver started the car. Asaka sat in the passenger seat and looked at the official shelter distribution map. The nearest shelter was six kilometers away. The car wobbled as it drove over.
The radioactive rain in the sky was gradually drifting over. The bus windows were tightly closed and it was pitch black outside. There was no trace of Tokyo's original neon lights and even the street lights were off.
Perhaps because of the radioactive rain, the released alpha, beta and gamma rays caused damage to the power lines, resulting in large-scale power outages in the surrounding areas.
If you walk in such rain without any protection, you will also be harmed. Even if the radiation dose is diluted to less than 150rad due to the large range of rain, which is not enough to kill people immediately, such damage will be long-term.
The car was driving in the dark, with only the weak headlight providing some light. The children in the car didn't dare to make a sound, and the whole car felt a bit depressing.
"Did Ling leave by herself?" Sakura and Tomoyo were sitting in the back row of the car. She held Tomoyo's hand, and the two of them did this to ease their anxiety.
"Well, because she has something important to do."
"Important matter?"
Chise did not explain. Looking at the darkness outside the window, she believed that soon there would be light to illuminate this place.
A black private car was speeding on the dark streets of Tokyo. Inside the car, Jianye drove calmly, avoiding some cars that were paralyzed on the road from time to time. These cars had their electronic components burned out due to the radiation rain and could not start, becoming obstacles one by one. The people in the cars were nowhere to be found, and they probably got out of the cars to take shelter long ago.
"Grandpa Jianye's driving skills are really good."
"It's nothing. Compared to flying for the master, this is child's play. I'm like Robin, after all."
"Batman's assistant? Does that mean I am Batman?"
Batman, who first appeared in the American Detective Comics in 1939, is the second hero after Superman. The following year, he had his own comic book with the same name, and later gradually became a household name. He drives the Batmobile and appears on the streets of the city at night, punishing evil and fighting crime.
"Well, in my opinion, Missy is braver than Batman."
After all, Batman can't beat Ultraman.
"Okay, Jianye, let's stop here. It's dangerous to go any further."
The car stopped and from a distance, the sound of the earth shaking could be heard. It was the super beast destroying the city.
"Jianye, you should also seek shelter. It's not safe here. The super beasts could come at any time."
"Miss, you..."
Ling also opened the door and got out of the car. In order to prevent the radioactive rain from drifting into the car, she immediately closed the door, leaving Jianye's words in the dimly lit car, and walked into the darkness alone.
In fact, Jianye did not continue to speak. He just suddenly realized that he was not Robin, he could not help the young lady, and he was not even qualified to stand aside and cheer for her.
Above Tokyo, the Eagle and the Universe have also arrived at the scene.
"There is radiation in this rain. The electronic equipment of the missile fuse may fail. Use laser guns to attack. Yamanaka, you also use laser guns and aim at the head of the super beast!"
"understand!"
Both the Eagle and the Universe were equipped with various multi-purpose missiles, but in the radiation rain, the electronic components were damaged and might explode when the safety was turned on and ready to shoot, so no one dared to use them easily. The radiation rain also castrated more than half of the TAC team's weapons, leaving only the laser guns that used strong lasers unaffected.
The Eagle and the Cosmos continuously fired laser beams, and high-energy laser cannons exploded on the super beast's head.
"Hit?"
It did hit, but it was useless. The super beast didn't even bother to dodge, and the lasers hit its head again and again, but there was no result except some light and shadow effects. The super beast was not hurt and continued to destroy the street.
"This Ultra Beast is different from the previous ones! The laser gun doesn't work, Captain. What should we do?"
Long also discovered that although most super beasts were powerful weapons of war, in the past, super beasts would be somewhat effective against TAC weapons, even if they could not defeat them. But this one was different, and human weapons had no effect on it at all.
The super beast that ravaged Tokyo was codenamed Baraba, and its appearance alone was very special. It had the characteristics of many creatures, and it was unknown what creatures the Yabo people had transformed it from. In one hand was a wolf tooth ball, in the other hand was a scimitar, and on top of its head was a flying sword.
At this moment, the arm holding the scimitar of the super beast suddenly stretched out. The unexpected move put the Eagle, which was not within its attack range, into danger. Long was unable to dodge and one of his wings was cut by the super beast's blade arm.
The Eagle, which had lost nearly half of its fuselage, suddenly caught fire. The single-wing aircraft could not be controlled and fell to the ground in a spin.
Two parachute flowers opened in mid-air. Long and Yoshimura each floated in the air with a parachute on their backs, watching the Eagle plummet and explode into a fireball.
"What a bastard!"
The Eagle Sky Fortress is a strategic-class large battleship with a total length of 210 meters. It is equipped with missiles, rockets, and laser cannons. It is also the take-off and landing platform of the Airo. It is the trump card among the TAC team's conventional equipment. The crash of one of them is a huge loss.
Not only that, the length of 210 meters is equivalent to that of a Nagato-class battleship. The steel giant fell from a thousand meters in the air, knocking down several buildings in a row, and finally smashed a huge scar on the ground in Tokyo.
Perhaps the gas pipes laid underground were broken, and the flames burned so fiercely that even heavy rain could not put them out. The continuous flames lit up half the block.
A few dozen kilometers away from the battlefield, the crew's bus was wobbling along for a while, and suddenly, the weak lights went out, leaving it all dark. The driver quickly stepped on the brakes.
"what happened?"
"Maybe a component burned out."
There were no street lights, and the cloudy sky was devoid of starlight. Now even the faint car lights were off, making it completely pitch dark.
"Director, I can't see anything. I can't drive."
Although she couldn't see the other people in the car and it was quiet and depressing, Qianxiang knew that the children must be very scared, and not crying at this time was the most restrained result. Everyone was waiting for him to make a decision.
"Can it be fixed?"
The driver shook his head. "If the components are burnt out, there's no way to repair it without spare parts."
According to the map they checked earlier, they were now less than 2 kilometers away from the nearest shelter.
Under normal circumstances, walking this distance would not be a problem, but the rain outside was radioactive, and everyone understood what that meant.
"I'll go down and take a look and try to fix it. Maybe the wire is just loose." Asaka said.
"But Director, it's raining outside..."
"It's okay, I have an umbrella."
But in such a heavy rain, how much use can an umbrella alone have? Not to mention that radiation is penetrating, it is probably just a psychological comfort.
"Director, how about I go?"
Perhaps because he was a little nervous, his voice was a little stuttering.
Although Asaka couldn't see anyone in the darkness, he recognized the voice of his assistant Matsumoto, which surprised him.
In his impression, Matsumoto liked to curry favor with him on weekdays, was very rude to his subordinates, and was always bossing them around. He was also fussy when things happened. He always thought that Matsumoto was an irresponsible coward.
Although it can be heard that just saying this sentence almost drained all his courage, this is not cowardice.
"I'd better let me go," the driver interrupted, "I'm more familiar with repairing cars. Director Asaka, Assistant Matsumoto, you probably can't even tell the difference between a gas tank and a battery, right?"
As they were talking, the sky at the distant horizon suddenly turned red, accompanied by a loud noise and a brief earthquake.
"It's burning! There's a big fire somewhere!"
Although the fire was huge, it was too far away and the light could not illuminate the road ahead. But humans are creatures that refract light, and a little light in the darkness can bring courage. Without waiting for Asaka and Matsumoto to say anything, the driver opened the driver's door with an umbrella and got out of the car.
Chapter 40 Genesis
Without the Eagle, there was only one Cosmos in the sky fighting against the super beast.
After the crash, Ryu and Yoshimura did not give up, and used TAC guns to attack on the ground, coordinating with the Cosmos in the air. At this time, another plane flew in the sky.
It's the Airo.
