Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 404. 400. Amnesia for All: Performance Art

Above Osaka, two Victory Flying Swallows launched an attack on the Desfasa below.

They maneuvered fighter jets with maneuverability and firepower far superior to the F-15, dodging the attacks of the Desfasa while unleashing their own barrage.

Qi Ming also arrived in Osaka. He walked among the ruins left by the bombing of Desfasa, trying to use his "Insight" to find the location of the mastermind.

In the original Star Warriors series, when Strong Dyna was about to leave after defeating Desfaza, all the Monera aliens and the Seed Spaceship merged into one, becoming the big boss Queen Monera, who ambushed Dyna, trapped him inside her body, and tortured him to death.

I must not repeat the same mistake.

On the battlefield, the Desfasa launched twelve tracking missiles at the Flying Swallow II. Jugglus pulled the emergency brake, and the fighter jet drew a perfect J-turn in the air. The pursuing missiles did not have time to turn and crashed into the electromagnetic interference net that suddenly appeared in front of them, exploding into a sea of ​​fire in mid-air.

The mountain dweller couldn't help but praise, "You've got skill!"

Dan Moroboshi: "Alright, now aim for the robot's critical parts and destroy them!"

As a result, the next moment, something unexpected happened.

The earth cracked open, and three strange-looking monsters with cat ears and tails emerged from the ground, searching with angry eyes for the culprit that had disturbed their peaceful dreams.

Qi Ming: “!”

Holy crap, aren't those three cosmic cat demons?!
This thing's amnesia-inducing electromagnetic waves can make Max forget how to pose to release the light, and when he awkwardly scratches his head, he accidentally drops the headgear into the water... creating countless "famous scenes," making it the most popular episode of "Max."

When did this thing arrive on Earth? I just "gathered" Max and the other two and it suddenly appeared. What a strange twist of fate!
Qi Ming quickly pulled out his communicator: "Captain, be careful, these three cat-like monsters can make people forget... What was I going to say?"

Humans have their limits; even Max was affected by the amnesia signal, so Qi Ming, caught between the three strange cats, was no exception.

Who am I? Where am I?
He looked completely bewildered.

The Victory team members also contracted the virus.

Just as Kishida was about to launch a counterattack against [Desfasa], he suddenly forgot how to operate it. His hand holding the control stick veered off course, and the laser fired by the Flying Swallow II destroyed an unoccupied house.

Kishida looked at him with surprise and doubt: "Who am I?"

Dan Moroboshi was also momentarily bewildered, then his face filled with shock: "I wanted to ask that too."

Jugglus Juggler paused, then said, "I can't remember either."

The three cosmic cats unleashed their power simultaneously, with remarkable results.

Yamanaka, who also suffered from amnesia, looked down at the ruined city below, then at the building that Kishida had just destroyed with his laser: "Perhaps, we are aliens who have invaded Earth?"

Jugglus scratched his head: "That's not right, I seem to remember that we were members of the GUTS team."

Yamanaka made a startling statement: "Perhaps our GUTS team is tasked with invading Earth in place of the aliens, but I've suddenly forgotten something. We should concentrate all our superior forces and retreat first."

Kishida: "Where should we retreat to? Does anyone have any good options?"

Without thinking, Jugglus Juggler blurted out after racking his brains, "The toilet?"

Yamanaka thought for a moment and said, "Good strategy, but I'd like to make a slight modification. Let's name this place 'Toilet,' then we'll have already completed our retreat, won't we?"

Having broken free from the constraints of "memory," the mountain team members took off completely.

Kishida: "That makes sense."

Victory team command room.

Agamus, who had been brought in to work, listened to the conversation between several people on the communication channel and was dumbfounded.

Are these people crazy?

He yelled into the microphone, "Are you talking in your sleep? Stop that black robot that's destroying the city!"

Dan Moroboshi frantically shook the cane beside him: "Yes, that makes sense, but how am I supposed to drive it? The lever seems to be malfunctioning, it doesn't respond no matter how I pull it!"

"If the machine malfunctions, it can probably be fixed by tapping it," said Shan Zhongdao, who was standing nearby.

Kishida: "It seems like there is such a method." Moroboshi Dan: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

After saying that, he suddenly banged his head against his cane, as if "hitting" it.

The next moment, Dan Moroboshi hit his head on his cane and passed out, falling asleep immediately.

Dan Moroboshi collapsed while struggling with his cane.

This is all thanks to the Cosmic Cat Demon.

"Director Hikari, the team members have gone to an unbelievable degree; they've completely lost their minds!" At the same time, Agamus finally saw Hikari arrive.

Hikari typed on the keyboard and quickly concluded: "It's those three monsters with cat ears. The electromagnetic waves they emit can affect the memories of living beings."

Agamus: "So it's amnesia caused by the attack... Wait, biological memory! Oh no!"

He immediately realized the problem.

In the original Ultraman Max series, DASH and Max all suffered from amnesia, but an intelligent robot named "Ellie" was unaffected and desperately saved the day.

In this hellish hybrid world, the unaffected robots have become the [Desfasa], previously programmed with a killing mechanic...

He lifted a building next to him and hurled it directly at the Flying Swallow II in the air.

Upon seeing this, the mountain dweller exclaimed in admiration, "Wow, young man, you are incredibly strong!"

Jugglus jolted awake: "This is not the time to talk about this. It's attacking us. We have to fight back and destroy that building."

Kishida fumbled around for a moment: "How do I launch an attack? I think it's like this, press this to fire."

Instead of pressing the laser launch button, he pulled the ejection button next to him for all personnel.

"Whoosh!" The next moment, the cockpit of Flying Swallow II opened, and everyone's seats were ejected, with parachutes opening.

"Bang!" The four escaped safely, while Flying Swallow No. 2 was smashed to pieces by the building.

Agamus and Hikari in the TPC command room in the distance: "..."

Agamus: "I should have equipped the Flying Swallow with intelligent driving!"

Hikari typed on the keyboard, trying to see if there were any drones nearby that could be deployed.

On the other side, all the Monera aliens piloting the seed spaceship were also confused due to amnesia.

"How do we control this spaceship again? If we don't surrender at TPC headquarters soon, it'll be too late!"

"I don't know, it seems like you press this button?"

Due to their haphazard actions, the seed spaceship's concealment system was deactivated, and the cold-lined spaceship appeared in everyone's sight.

Then... the spaceship spun wildly 360 degrees like a windmill.

"What's going on! Isn't this how it's done?!"

"I'm so dizzy! I'm so dizzy, stop it!"

The Monera aliens then performed another maneuver, sending their seed spaceship hurtling towards a cosmic cat demon like a kamikaze pilot.

"Thud!" The seed spaceship crashed straight into the head of a cosmic cat demon.

The latter was stunned by the impact, then angrily grabbed the spaceship with its tentacle-like hands and released electricity at the seed spaceship.

"Waaaaaah!" Inside the seed spaceship, the Monera alien screamed in pain, his body charred black from the electric shock, convulsing uncontrollably, no longer displaying the demeanor of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The second update is coming soon.
