Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

"What are you thinking about!" Yu Nayuankong's voice was always particularly loud at times like this. He used a megaphone to urge the guy waving at them: "Run! Are you out of your mind?!"

"That's about enough," Hasegawa Hayato said, estimating the evacuation speed, and turned on his communicator.

Two blocks away, Estend and Samuel were assigned to the roadside to maintain order and prevent a stampede.

"Once this group of people has been evacuated, Kanade and Yu, you two go to Haruyama Middle School," the communicator beeped, followed by Hasegawa Hayato's voice: "Hurry up."

"Yes!"

Estend sensed an opportunity and ordered the last group of men to leave. He pointed to Bemstein, who was fighting GUYS' planes in the distance, and said to Samuel.

The two ran toward the road leading to Haruyama Middle School, but after passing through an alley, Aiba Kanade continued with the mission, while Aiba Yu disappeared without a trace.

……

At that moment, Bemstein opened the digestive opening on his stomach and stuffed GUYS's fighter jet inside.

Blue digestive fluid splattered on the glass. He could hear his teammates' worried shouts. The plane's engines were still running, but their output was no match for the monster's grip.

With the monster's writhing digestive opening right before her eyes, her heart pounding, Marina Kazama closed her eyes in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a golden-red light flashed, and Bemstar suddenly realized that his two claws were empty. He looked down at his stomach in a daze and let out a blank hiss.

Before he could even raise his head, a silvery-black light smeared his face, and a foot wreathed in flames kicked him, sending him tumbling and sliding a long way across the ground.

Mebius carefully released his grip, and the plane piloted by Marina Kazama remained steadily suspended in the air, indicating that the machine had not suffered much damage.

Mebius nodded to Marina, then turned around and saw Samuel riding on Bemstar, punching its head repeatedly.

Bemstein let out an angry screech and flapped its wings so hard that it threw Samuel off. Samuel rolled over on the spot, only to see Bemstein circle in the air, gathering its strength to charge at him, its sharp beak whistling through the air.

Mebius rushed over to push Samuel away.

Samuel had already dodged it, and then turned and delivered a precise punch to the side of Bemstein's head. The chubby giant bird, still charging forward, slammed into Mebius with a thud.

Samuel glanced at Bemstar, who was already stunned by the blow, and Mebius, who had been knocked down by Bemstar, wondering why Mebius had suddenly appeared behind him.

GUYS had originally devised a very risky, serious, all-or-nothing operational plan.

The atmosphere was tense.

But now they seem to have returned to Xiaocheng a while ago, when they were dealing with scumbags 929.

The same scene was playing out in the city at that time.

A winged monster, Mebius, and Samuel.

While blocking the monster, he also attacked his own teammates.

Why is this so?

There are clearly two Ultraman, but there's only one monster on the other side. This should result in double the fighting power and double the efficiency.

Why is this happening?

Yes, Samuel attacked Mebius when he first appeared, and Mebius seemed to blast him away with a beam of light... Is he holding a grudge? Do Ultraman have such conflicts?

The GUYS team members fell into deep thought.

On the other hand, Hikari, who should have been called "Sword" back then, also had a conflict with Mebius, but he was different; when it came to teamwork, he was able to coordinate perfectly.

So... Hikari is magnanimous and doesn't hold grudges?

Estend covered his eyes in anguish.

Omarment from the Equipment Department was not without reason. The restrictions that Professor Fondt imposed on Samuel, especially his complex thinking and logic, were particularly concerned that they might affect his execution ability and lead to the Pasifica incident. Therefore, he cleaned out all the "unnecessary things" from Samuel's head.

This also greatly affected Samuel's ability to interpret combat.

Going it alone is fine, just go all out.

But when teamwork is needed, he can overpower his opponents and, incidentally, his teammates.

Samuel punched Bemstein's open stomach, and Bemstein screamed as his fist and part of his arm sank in, his hand covered in blue digestive fluid.

What is this?

Samuel used his other hand to grab the upper edge of Bemstein's wing, and with a powerful twist of his waist and legs, he turned around to flip it over and slam it to the ground.

Bemstein waved his little claws, trying to scratch his hand.

So what if I cut it? At most, I'll lose some flesh.

Bemstein kicked, trying to kick away the guy who had grabbed him instead.

Go ahead and kick it; if you can kick it open, I'll admit defeat.

Despite taking two kicks and three claws, Samuel grunted and slammed Bemstein to the ground on the other side. Cement fragments flew everywhere, dust billowed up several stories high, and the ground cracked with spiderweb-like marks.

Mebius had just seen Bemstar swallow his arm and was about to pull him away when the monster turned around and slammed him to the ground. Mebius was lucky to have reacted quickly and dodged, otherwise he would have been...

Implicated.

Bemstein landed on the back of his head and was stunned for a long time.

Samuel's arm was thus freed, and he flew directly into the air, each hand condensing into a blade of light.

Mebius finally seized the opportunity, extending a golden lightsaber from his left arm and delivering a powerful vertical slash that sliced ​​Bemstar in two almost without hindrance.

At that moment, Samuel had just thrown the light blade.

Explosive light blade.

A burst of bright silver light flashed, and although Samuel reacted at the last moment and restrained his power, the shockwave still pushed Mebius off balance.

When the light faded, Bemstein was nowhere to be found.

Mebius stared silently at the deep crater created by the explosion.

The underground pipe had evaporated, and the broken end was twisted grotesquely, showing signs of melting and then cooling down.

Samuel controlled the situation well at the last moment, guiding the majority of the explosive energy underground through mental focus.

but……

"I never want to work with this person again." Even with his good temper, Mebius couldn't help but have this thought.

It's been N days since Hikari left, and I miss him.

As Estend gazed at the two figures, one in the air and one on the ground, images from several years ago flashed through his mind.

It was on a planet with active magma and volcanoes. Because there were quite a few native monsters, Fang Te mobilized additional spaceships to help Samuel intercept the escaped monsters, intending to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

The ward specifically instructed Samuel to guarantee at least one living specimen.

Samuel did indeed make the promise; he embedded the monster into the mountain, and to prevent it from struggling, he thoughtfully knocked it unconscious, then used several lightsabers to pierce its non-vital parts and pin it to the mountainside.

Hmm... they also pierced a spaceship. They were originally planning to go forward and drop a capture net.

Samuel had no idea about the capture net that was coordinated with the spaceship fleet. Fortunately, in order to ensure the monster's survival, he didn't throw an explosive light blade, and luckily, it didn't hit the important propulsion system. Although the spaceship was sizzling and sparking, it didn't disintegrate. However, it is said that the people inside developed a phobia of light blade weapons from then on.

After that incident, Omarment increasingly urged Font to lift some restrictions, which greatly annoyed Font.

Samuel never teamed up with anyone for a mission again, and no one wanted to team up with him.

Fang Te didn't care about such things. His excellent work, in a unique way, demonstrated its power—only the weak need teammates! A good biological weapon should swiftly and efficiently dismantle the mission target into pieces!

Some people joked with Eistard, telling him to be careful, lest Samuel get carried away and accidentally melt his own guide.

This time, Frederick listened to him, perhaps out of concern for his student, and he added a baseline instruction to Samuel:

The fourth task is to protect the safety of the guides.

Therefore, in a sense, Estend became Samuel's only teammate.

No, maybe there will be more teammates in the future, like... everyone in Hasegawa's team.

Samuel has already changed somewhat, and given enough time, everything will surely move in a positive direction.

Estend believed this.

Chapter 42 Research on Out-of-Control

After another monster attack, the various disasters finally subsided for a while.

Samuel stopped eating Estend's extra-strong wasabi-flavored potato chips and started liking a newly released maple syrup pudding. Nothing special, just one word: sweet.

Yonahara Sora celebrated the growth of the sweets army, eating sweets in the same way—and then nearly collapsed on the playground. Yamashita Rikuto muttered "Don't talk to idiots" as he smeared a towel he used to wipe his sweat on Yonahara Sora's face, who was lying on the ground with his mouth wide open like a dead fish.

Their occasional "rescue missions" were mostly while they were out shopping. They would casually climb trees to retrieve kittens that had gotten stuck, rescue teammates who were punished for violating discipline by copying the rules, and hide snacks in the captain's refrigerator when there was no space in the refrigerator, but how to do it without being discovered... The last one was a bit off, but overall, things were relatively peaceful during this period.

But comfort is something that always slips away very quickly, just like students' winter and summer vacations, and working people's holidays.

GUYS Research Institute.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Acting Director Misaki. This research center has collected data on approximately two thousand types of monsters and aliens—most of which came from mysterious internal emails. We are currently conducting various studies based on this data."

"Are they already using data from unknown emails? What about their reliability?" Misaki Yuki was not at ease with the recent unknown emails, even though they contained technology that could fascinate even the world's top scientists.

“So far, the data comparison has been accurate,” said the researcher wearing thick glasses. “For example, there was no record of the cosmic monster Digarug in our database before. When Digarug appeared a few days ago, we compared the data we observed with the data transmitted in the unknown email, and they basically matched. The thresholds in all aspects were very accurate.”

Misaki Yuki nodded: "So, the monster lured..."

“Ah, monster-induced sound waves,” the researcher laughed. “Because the database has doubled in size, we’ve made a special upgrade to the original solution, and I believe it will be even more efficient.”

"If we can successfully lure the monster out of the city, it would indeed be very..."
