In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

"Headquarters, please respond."

Inside the TPC headquarters command room, Megumi Kijima responded.

"Captain, we've spotted an unidentified flying object," Daigo said hurriedly.

"The surveillance cameras here are showing it too. Can you tell what it is?" Megumi said into the communicator.

"The current altitude is 20,000 meters, and it is rapidly descending at a speed of Mach 4."

"To call it an airliner would be too much to describe," Daigo said.

"What is the predicted destination?" asked Megumi Kijima.

"Judging from this situation, it might land near Kashima Beach," Daigo said urgently.

“I remember there were some facilities belonging to the Space Development Agency there,” Lina said.

“That’s right, it’s a high-purity energy reserve base established for the development of interstellar launch vehicles for the next century,” Horii said to Megumi.

"Team Leader Daigo, Team Leader Shinjo, go and assess the situation now," Megumi Kiyama ordered. "Victory Flying Swallow 2, prepare to deploy immediately!"

On the other side, the object that crashed was the Ligadron that had swallowed Jeep 3; its target was the high-purity energy in the energy storage base.

It wreaked havoc as it approached the energy storage base, causing the ground staff to scatter and flee.

Flying Swallow 2 and Flying Swallow 1 arrived at the same time and fired their beam guns, hitting Ligadron.

But these attacks still couldn't stop the monster's advance.

Ligadron arrived at an energy storage tank, immediately destroyed it, and began absorbing its energy.

In a ground control center, in order to preserve the remaining energy storage tanks, the Space Development Agency activated the DCS defense control system.

Just as Ligadron was enjoying his energy storage box, the surrounding defense control system suddenly unleashed a powerful electrical attack.

This caused Ligadron considerable trouble, and suddenly the orange crystal on its head emitted a light.

The surrounding defense systems immediately ceased to function.

"The DCS defense system has suddenly malfunctioned," the personnel in the control center said urgently.

"Damn monster!" Daigo controlled the Flying Swallow 1 and kept attacking Ligadron.

"Let's try launching a missile attack," Shinjo said.

"Understood!" Daigo said.

Therefore, after being hit by the missile, Ligadron had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

It shot out a lot of gas downwards like a rocket, and then flew away.

TPC headquarters.

Xincheng rushed anxiously into the command room.

"Captain, I heard that NASA is contacting the family of the Jeep 3 astronauts to ask about the situation. Is that true?"

Zong Fang stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, what are you so nervous about?"

Ignoring Munakata, Shinjo continued to press Kijima Megumi, "Is that monster closely related to Jeep 3?"

"Captain!" Shinjo called out.

"The Jeep 3 incident falls under the jurisdiction of the Space Development Agency." Megumi Kijima did not answer.

"Then I'll go ask them now!" Xincheng turned to leave.

"Wait!"

"They have their ways of doing things, and we have our own. We must never overstep our bounds and interfere with each other's missions," Megumi Gijō said solemnly to Shinjō as she stood up.

Feeling down, Shinjo leaned against the corridor railing, trying to relax by himself. His best friend Daigo, worried about his condition, came out to talk to him.

"What's wrong with you? You're not usually like this," Daigo said with a smile.

“I lost several friends in an accident, which is why I’m even angrier,” Shinjo said sadly.

“They simply cannot understand how worried their families are,” Xincheng said, turning around and leaning against the railing.

"Daigo, I feel like I'm losing something beautiful."

"Gentleness, kindness, thoughtfulness... these beautiful qualities that belong to us humans seem to be slowly fading away..."

Inside the command center.

After reading the information that Ye Rui found on Dr. Jiang Qi's computer, everyone learned that Jeep No. 3 had been devoured by the monster.

The crowd remained silent for a long time...

"Is there a way to turn them back to their original state?" Megumi Kijima broke the silence.

"I have a question. Since they have already become prisoners of the monsters, how could they possibly show themselves?" Zong Fang said with a solemn expression.

"Perhaps... it's the kind of feelings we humans have for our loved ones that monsters can't understand."

"So their consciousness borrowed the monster's power and became materialized," Daigo explained using his own thinking.

"TPC headquarters is also analyzing this message, and the answer will be available soon."

At this moment, the monster reappeared, and Staff Officer Nanyuan received instructions from his superiors to eliminate the monster.

"Officer! Should we, the Victory Team, fight them?" Shinjo slammed his fists on the table. The monster still possessed the consciousness of the three members of Jeep No. 3.

"Our target is a terrifying cosmic monster that threatens the peace of Earth!" Staff Officer Nanbara said to Shinjo as he stood up from his chair.

"Victory Team, move out!"

Victory Swallow 1 and 2 quickly arrived at the location where the monster Ligadron was advancing.

Daigo and Shinjo are still piloting Plane No. 1. The two deceased pilots have triggered their bond and are about to experience their first joint crash.

Sure enough, after a brief struggle with Ligadron, it was shot down from the air.

After the emergency landing, Daigo dragged the unconscious Shinjo to a safe location, then took out his Spark Lens and transformed.

After a flash of light, Ultraman Tiga appeared!

Tiga and Rigadron immediately began to fight. Due to Rigadron's astonishing defensive capabilities, Tiga was unable to break through its defenses despite several attacks.

Instead, he was seriously injured by the attack unleashed by Ligadron.

Then Tiga crossed his arms over his forehead, and his body changed color, transforming into a red, powerful form.

After transforming into his powerful form, Tiga rode on the fallen Rigdron and then used his strength to repeatedly strike its back.

Tiga grabbed the horns on both sides of Rigadron's head, restrained him, and then unleashed another fierce punch.

This time, Ligadron's tail emitted white gas directly, blasting Tiga away.

The distance between them increased, and Tiga then opened and closed his arms, gathering them into an orange energy ball. Finally, he threw it at the monster.

This is the red form of the Dilasium Ray.

However, the beam of light did not cause much damage to Ligadron; it did not even break through its defenses.

Instead, Ligadron's forearm emitted a blue spiral destructive beam that struck Tiga.

The two then faced off and grappled again, but this time, Tiga was severely suppressed by Riggardron.

"That monster is like an impenetrable fortress; it's impossible to break through."

“Even if we have hundreds of people attacking from the outside, we can’t touch a hair on its head,” Lina said anxiously, looking at Tiga who was being beaten.

Ligadron knocked Tiga to the ground, clamped his arms around him, and then lifted him high into the air.

Just as Xincheng and the others were still trying to figure out a solution, a blue beam of light suddenly struck Ligadron on the back.

This immediately caused it to release its grip on Tiga.

"who is it?"

The Victory Team members all looked in the other direction.

A silver giant appeared before them, striking a pose that emitted beams of light.

"It's him!" Zong Fang exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the silver giant.

"Is he here to help us?" Lina asked excitedly.

Raven looked at Ligadron with a headache; this monster's defense was truly formidable.

He survived taking one of his most powerful attacks.

However, this was within his expectations.

He came here specifically not to steal Daigo's head, nor because he thought they would lose in the end.

Instead, it was to rescue the three members of Gypsy 3 who had already turned into spirits.

He had always felt that the plot here was cruel, and that the members of Jeep No. 3 were ultimately unable to turn back into humans, which he found very regrettable.

This time, he happens to have the ability to help them turn back into humans.

He has already asked the system about the energy needed to help the three spirits rebuild their bodies.

It's about 15%.

He currently has only 12% of his energy remaining, which isn't enough, but he has a way to replenish it, because Ligadron is a free, large power bank.

That's why Raven wanted to get kills before Tiga and the Victory Team could eliminate Riggardron.

Raven then waved provocatively at Ligadron.

Ligadron was immediately drawn to it, and it swung its large, pincer-like hand at Raven.

Raven easily dodged the attacks, then kicked it several times in the abdomen.

The immense force sent Ligadron sprawling to the ground.

Then Raven leaped up, using the momentum of his fall to deliver a devastating elbow strike that shattered the armor covering Ligadron's body.

Raven didn't stop, but rode on and snapped off both of Ligadron's horns, causing it considerable damage.

"Amazing." Horii and Rena were shocked. Despite the fact that Ligadron's defenses were so strong, the silver giant in front of them had easily broken through them.
