In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Under the lure of money, what are a few storms? So the boat owner went all out.

After many hardships, we finally arrived at Jiuliang Island amidst the wind and waves.

Raven raced towards the mine.

Chapter 5 Melba's Revenge

When Raven arrived at the scene, he found that Gakuma had been destroyed by Victory Swallow Unit 2.

He felt a pang of frustration and waved his fist in resentment.

"If only I had been faster," Raven said regretfully.

From a human perspective, monsters like Gakuma, which have harmed people, are destined to be eliminated.

Human development is a process of constantly squeezing out the living space of other creatures; to be merciful to monsters is to be unjust to oneself.

In the mine, the members of the Victory Team were very happy. Victory Swallow 2's first battle was very impressive, successfully defeating the first monster.

"You've transformed it so well in just a few days," Director Sawai said to the Victory team with great satisfaction.

“But if monsters appear all over the world, the situation will be serious.” Unlike the other team members, Vice Captain Munakata said with a worried expression.

After a moment's thought, Director Sawai solemnly said, "I plan to immediately notify all TPC branches to carry out the transformation after I return to headquarters."

"Until then, if anything happens, leave it to our Victory Team to handle," Shinjo said confidently.

Raven, whose hearing had been enhanced, overheard their conversation from atop a distant rocky slope and burst out laughing.

Xincheng, you dead pilot, how dare you say such a thing?

Throughout the entire Ultraman Tiga series, Daigo and Shinjo suffered the most plane crashes, averaging one crash per episode. They were later jokingly referred to by netizens as "the dead pilots" and "the nemesis of the Flying Swallow."

Then Horii, quite smugly, said, "I feel like I didn't get enough just now. I really want to fight a monster again."

Everyone burst into laughter.

As it turned out, Horii's blessed words actually attracted a monster.

Rumble~

"earthquake?"

"Could it be a landslide?"

Everyone was puzzled.

The tremors shook everyone off their feet. As the dust settled, a two-horned Gakuma appeared in front of them.

Sensing that its family had been killed, it could no longer bear it. It finally came to the surface in a rage, having been hiding underground all along. It wanted to turn all these humans into stone!

"Roar!"

“There’s more than one Gakuma; the one with two tentacles that the workers are talking about is it,” Director Sawai said quickly and calmly.

The members of the Victory Team scattered and hid, and Daigo took the opportunity to run behind a tent by himself.

He took out his magic wand from his pocket, looked at it for a while, and then transformed without hesitation.

After a flash of light, Ultraman Tiga appeared!

When Gakuma saw an enemy suddenly appear in front of him, he instinctively stepped back.

"It's a giant! A giant has come to save us!" For some reason, Lina felt an inexplicable fondness for Tiga, believing that giants were friends of humanity.

Director Sawai was also deeply shocked by what he saw. This was the first time he had ever seen a giant in person, and the immense sense of oppression struck him to the core.

"I hope he will never be an enemy of humanity," Director Sawai thought to himself.

Seeing that Tiga and Gakuma were already fighting, Raven, who was standing at a distance, smiled knowingly.

Next up is my turn. Sorry, Daigo.

He pulled out his combat device and held it high in the air.

"Melba, this is your battle for revenge!"

"Combat system activated!"

Melba inside the battle device transformed into a ball of light, ascended into the sky, and then rapidly grew to enormous size.

"Roar!"

what happened?

The Victory Team and others were startled by the loud noise.

After a deafening roar, the ancient dragon Melba, which shattered the sky, reappeared before everyone.

"It's Melba!" Lina looked up at the sky and was immediately startled.

"Wasn't it destroyed by the giants?" Horii said in disbelief.

"Could it be that there's more than one Melba?"

Melba hovered proudly in the sky, feeling that it had become much stronger, all thanks to its master who had saved its life.

Inside that magical little box, not only were all its injuries healed, but its strength also increased.

It communicates with Raven without using sound; it quickly understands what it needs to do.

Now that it's stronger, it's going to teach that giant who almost killed it a lesson.

Melba, flying in the air, fired an orange destructive beam from its eyes, which struck Tiga, who was still fighting with Gakuma.

The sudden attack caused Tiga to lose his balance, and he was then knocked to the ground by Gakuma's horn.

Tiga looked up at the sky, utterly shocked. It was Melba, whom he had already destroyed.

Tiga didn't understand why Melba hadn't died, but the urgency of the situation left him no time to think about it.

Just as he was about to get up, Gakuma emitted a petrifying ray, slowly petrifying him starting from his feet.

Even with all his might, Ultraman Tiga in his composite form was unable to move, and at that moment, the energy indicator light began to flash, making matters worse.

Just as he was about to petrify to his chest, Tiga crossed his arms, the crystal on his forehead flashed, and his body turned red, transforming into his powerful form.

The petrification process was thus resolved.

Tiga knew he couldn't drag things out; he had to finish the battle quickly to have enough energy left to deal with Melba, who was eyeing him covetously.

But Raven wouldn't let him have his way. To be on the safe side, it would be better to team up with Gakuma and gang up on him. They couldn't let the two monsters betray each other like last time and end up being defeated one by one.

Melba then swooped down and knocked Tiga, in his powerful form, to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Gakuma immediately mounted Tiga, rendering him unable to move for a moment.

The advantage of the powerful form lies in its strength. Gakuma was quickly lifted up, but Melba directly pressed down on Tiga with its claws. The two giant beasts worked together to defeat Tiga.

"Let's go support the Titans too!" The GUTS team members couldn't stand it anymore, and Director Sawai agreed. Then they left the scene with the other staff.

"System, start absorbing Tiga's energy. Remember to absorb only one-third," Raven said, seeing that Tiga was trapped.

"Understood, host."

The dormant system sensed the energy and appeared very quickly.

Then, they saw Tiga's light energy flow out from the indicator light on his chest, flying to Raven in the form of light particles that ordinary people could not see.

Tiga tried to gather his strength to break free from the two monsters, but for some reason his power was gradually dissipating, and the indicator light was flashing faster and faster.

It looks like we're going to lose.

Daigo thought unwillingly.

Why did the light choose me, yet I still couldn't save everyone?

Lina looked at Tiga, who was being crushed by the monster, with great concern.

"Are the giants...are they going to lose?"

Meanwhile, Shinjo and others raised the Victory Flying Swallow No. 2.

"Damn it, taste the power of this super-powerful beam!" Horii locked onto Melba and pressed the fire button.

Raven certainly saw the Victory team's move, but at this crucial moment, he could only let Melba withstand the attack.

"System, how much longer until it finishes absorbing?"

Chapter 6 Subduing Gakuma

"20 seconds more."

The system responded.

"There's no other way but to hold on. Melba, get ready to defend." Raven could have easily had Melba shoot down Flying Swallow 2, but he didn't want to hurt the Victory Team unless absolutely necessary.

Tiga lay on the ground, his hands struggling weakly. He could feel his energy constantly draining away. Facing Gakuma and Melba, he didn't even have a chance for a final stand.

"Swoosh—!!" Powerful energy converged, and a powerful beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the Flying Swallow cannon.

Whoosh—the beam of light struck Melba's back. Although it was prepared, this still caused it considerable damage.

"Good job!"

Shinjo and Horii cheered immediately.

Human technological development has been rapid. In ancient times, humans were in awe of monsters as if they were gods, and had no power to resist them.

With the advancement of technology, the powerful beams carried by the Victory Swallow 2 are now capable of harming ancient monsters like Melba. In the near future, terrifying weapons such as the Max-Powered Draco Cannon and the Magus Cannon have even been developed.

Seeing that Melba still refused to let go of Tiga, the Flying Swallow 2 continued to fire super-powerful beams.

"Hiss!" The beam of light struck Melba again, causing it to let out a scream.

"If another Melba is fired, it will be dangerous. Is it not over yet, System?"

Raven, who has a life-or-death connection with Melba, has already sensed its declining vitality.

"Absorption complete." The system's voice finally rang out.

Upon hearing this voice, Raven felt a great sense of relief and immediately controlled Melba to release Tiga.

The indicator light on Tiga's chest flashed faster and faster, but he still did not give up in the end. He tried his best to fight back.
