In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

At their intended landing point lay their target: "Miss Smile."

It was a face formed by the mountain ranges of Pluto. Since it was photographed by a probe satellite, scientists on Earth have been puzzled as to whether it was a natural coincidence or a remnant of civilization.

Driven by this curiosity, Xincheng and his group embarked on this trip.

……

"Miss Smile, the smile at the very edge of the solar system, is also a trace of civilization beyond Earth." Shou Shi held up a clear photo of "Miss Smile" taken up close by the Lomus III, looking completely engrossed.

"Just how many mysteries and secrets are hidden in that smile?" said Shoushi with great longing.

The team members all looked at Shoushi with expressions of disbelief, thinking he was exaggerating.

"It seems like his old illness has relapsed!" Mai mocked mercilessly.

"The Pluto ore samples that we've been waiting for so long will be sent to the research institute in Osaka tomorrow," Koda said as he walked over with a cup of hot water. "You don't need to worry about it anymore."

"Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened at the lunar ruins?" Asuka couldn't help but tease Karish.

Holding the photo, Karishi said to Asuka incredulously, "How can humanity progress if it doesn't have curiosity?"

“That’s very true,” Captain Hibiki agreed.

"Drip drip."

At that moment, an urgent communication came through.

Mai quickly checked and then urgently told everyone, "The Lord of Losmus III has lost contact!"

"What?" Shou Shi was immediately startled.

While he was still stunned, Captain Hibiki immediately gave instructions.

"Ryo, Nakajima, Asuka, immediately board the Kurak Call and search for the Lord of Lomus III!"

"Understood!!!" the three responded simultaneously, and then quickly headed to the hangar.

All that remained was a look of utter disappointment on Shou Shi's face.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright." Koda noticed Karishi's worry and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

“But…” Shoushi was still worried.

"Have confidence," Koda said confidently. "That's why humanity has been able to progress."

……

Soon, Asuka and the others reached Pluto using the speed of the Neomagus system.

"We've found them!" Nakajima located the Lomus III spacecraft, which had landed on the surface of Pluto, using radar.

This news also reached Earth.

"The spaceship recovery is complete, and everyone on board is safe and sound!" Mai reported the situation to everyone.

"That's great!" Shoushi was overjoyed to hear the news in the command room.

"We haven't found the cause yet, but it seems there's some kind of malfunction in the ship's hull," Nakajima told everyone via video call. "There are some abnormalities in communication and navigation right now."

At this point, the former king of plane crashes was in an awkward position. Even though he was no longer piloting fighter jets but flying spaceships, spaceships could not escape the same fate.

No wonder he's a vehicle killer.

"In short, it's good that the ship and the crew are safe," Captain Hibi said to the group.

At this moment, inside the Kurak call sign.

"I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble." Shinjo sat in his chair, looking at Asuka and Ryo of the Super GUTS team, full of emotion.

“Um…you must be Mr. Shinjo from the Space Development Agency.” Ryo looked at Shinjo with admiration. “When I was still training, I greatly admired your performance with the Victory Team.”

Admire my performance? Is this girl implying that I've crashed too many planes?

Shinjo didn't take it seriously, so he pretended to be profound and said to Ryo, "You're the Death Knight pilot from the Super GUTS team?"

"My name is Ryo Yumimura." Ryo was very excited to be recognized by Shinjo.

Asuka, quite dissatisfied, interjected, "Ah, I'm the current Death Knight pilot."

However, Shinjo completely ignored Asuka at the moment, after all, it was rare to have a beautiful female pilot admire him.

So Shinjo stood up and politely extended his hand to Chaoliang, saying, "Please give me your guidance, junior sister."

Ryo excitedly shook hands with Shinjo. This made Asuka, who was standing to the side, very unhappy, feeling as if the two of them were ignoring her.

Then, the Kurak call quickly reached the vicinity of Earth's orbit.

"It's Earth."

Shinjo looked at the blue planet in front of him with great enjoyment.

After taking up his job at the Space Development Agency, he has spent almost all of his time in space and rarely returns to Earth.

Moreover, he always went on missions with the determination that he might never return, because humanity is too fragile in the face of the unknown universe.

So every time he sees Earth, he feels a special emotion.

"Boom!"

Just then, the Kurak Call ship suddenly began to rock!

The ship's alarm system went off!

Could it be that New City, that vehicle killer, is at work again?

Xincheng himself was a bit speechless.

"What happened?" Asuka shouted immediately.

Nakajima quickly checked the control system and then said to everyone, "There's a huge biological reaction in the third hangar!"

"When did you come in?" Asuka asked.

"The engine power output is dropping rapidly!" Liang also sat down on the control panel.

"A mysterious cosmic creature has appeared inside the Kurak Call!" Mai received the communication.

"The enemy has taken over the engine section and is still expanding!" Nakajima reported to the command center.

"Is it absorbing the energy of the Neomagus system?" said Hunti in the command room.

Koda immediately said anxiously, "That's terrible! If this continues, the Kurak call will crash."

"Mai, check the predicted crash site on Earth," Captain Hibi immediately said.

Mai immediately began to operate the device, and the simulated map on the screen zoomed in to Osaka in Japan.

"In the heart of Osaka!"

What a coincidence, it's in Japan again.

At this moment, the Kurak Call is being drawn by the power of Newton and is falling to Earth like a meteor.

Liang said in a panic, "We have to find a way to stop the fall no matter what."

"What should I do?" Asuka frowned, thinking that if there was really no other way, she would transform. Even if her identity was exposed, it would be better than everyone dying.

In contrast, Shinjo was relatively calm. He had experienced this kind of scene countless times before. After all, he was the king of plane crashes and had a lot of experience surviving plane crashes.

……

Chapter 162 The Deadly Strike! (Please vote with your silver tickets! Be sure to vote at the end of the latest chapter!)

"The only solution is to cut off the occupied part and then switch to the secondary engine," Koda offered.

"Let's give it a try!" Nakajima acted quickly. Even if he failed, it was better than sitting and waiting to die.

If Raven saw this, he would definitely think that throwing Newtown out might be more effective.

Of course, this is just a joke.

"Mai, find out the correct time and location of the fall immediately. We must prevent the severed part from falling into the city center," Koda urgently instructed.

Since officially taking over as vice-captain, Koda has been working harder than before, trying his best to share the burden with Captain Kibi.

“Yes!” Mai replied immediately.

Mai quickly calculated the crash point.

"The crash site is... Mount 6Ko in Kobe!" Liang said immediately after receiving the information.

"Initiate transmission start command, please coordinate with the countdown here to separate!" Mai shouted to Kurak.

"Teleportation complete, begin countdown!"

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"six!"

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"zero!"

In an instant, the Kurak call sign separated the occupied section from the mainframe. Then, after starting the auxiliary engines, the ship regained power.

"Separation successful!" Liang exclaimed excitedly. "That way, we won't crash into the city center!"

Asuka and Nakajima also excitedly gave a thumbs up.

"The target is as calculated; it will crash at point 03 on Mount Rokko," Mai said, looking at the image displayed on the radar.

"Issue a martial law order to the surrounding area." After speaking to Mai, Captain Kibi then said to Karishi and Koda, "Immediately launch the Victory Eagle!"

"Understood!" The three of them then quickly ran towards the hangar.

At that moment, Raven had already sensed an object falling from the sky toward Osaka.

So they arrived in the vicinity of Mount Rokko.
