Chapter 5 Placement of Gakuma
Chapter 5 Placement of Gakuma
At this moment, Captain Gijō received orders from the Director-General to send the Victory Team into action. Therefore, Rena and Vice-Captain Munakata piloted the Hien-1 to Kurajima Island.
Meanwhile, on Kyuro Island, Gakuma is blasting beams of light everywhere, turning all sorts of things in the quarry into stone.
At this moment, Flying Swallow 1 arrived at the mine and flew over Gakuma's head. Gakuma attacked with beams of light, but Flying Swallow dodged them all.
Simply dodging is not the style of the GUTS team, so the Flying Swallow also launched a laser attack, hitting Gakuma's body.
Ouch! Gakuma cried out in pain.
The Flying Swallow was preparing to continue its attack when the Gakuma stood upright and hit the plane.
The Flying Swallow lost control and wobbled as it fell to the ground, but thankfully it did not crash.
Beep be ...
Both Munakata and Lina were knocked unconscious by the impact. Fortunately, Munakata woke up immediately and then woke Lina.
They fled with Lina.
Gakuma gave chase, unleashing a beam of light. The two fleeing individuals were lucky; they weren't hit. Perhaps the targets were too small to aim at!
Gakuma is about to catch up! A critical moment!
A laser beam shot out and struck Gakuma. It blocked Gakuma's pursuit and saved Lina and Munakata.
"It's Unit 2!"
"It is estimated that the super-powerful mode of the Victory Flying Swallow II has been completed."
"well played!"
"Now, let the monster taste the power of this super-powerful beam!" Horii shouted excitedly.
"no problem!"
Then a super-powerful beam of light was fired and struck Gakuma.
Boom! Gakuma collapsed and exploded!
Our protagonist, Comrade Yang Guang, also arrived at Jiuliang Island.
They finally arrived. As soon as Yang Guang got nearby, he saw that Gakuma had been blown to pieces!
"Uh... I'm a little late!"
Why did Yang Guang come to Jiuliang Island?
Because he came to save the monsters, Yang Guang knew that two monsters named Gakuma lived here.
These two monsters vent their anger on humans because their habitat has been constantly destroyed. Furthermore, Gakuma can turn objects into stone and feeds on stones. If human waste were used to turn Gakuma into stone, not only would Gakuma have food, but humans would also alleviate some of the environmental pollution pressure—wouldn't that be a win-win situation? It would allow monsters and humans to coexist peacefully.
Seeing the monster defeated, the director praised the GUTS team. Just when everyone thought everything was alright, suddenly the earth shook violently!
"earthquake?"
"Is it a landslide?"
At this moment, another monster with two tentacles appeared next to Flying Swallow II.
"So there's more than one Gakuma," the director realized.
Gakuma is furious. Its companion was killed by humans, and it wants to vent its anger! It wants to turn all the humans in front of it into stones and eat them!
Everyone started to run away, while Daigo ran behind the tent, took out the Spark Lens, and transformed into Ultraman Tiga in a dazzling light!
"It's a giant!"
"It's Ultraman Tiga!"
"Ultraman Tiga has come to save us!" Rena exclaimed happily. Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief; they were finally safe.
Tiga rushed forward and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on Gakuma. Gakuma was knocked to the ground by Tiga's continuous attacks. Tiga then seized the opportunity to straddle Gakuma and launch another attack. However, Gakuma's back was quite sturdy, and Tiga's attacks didn't cause much damage; instead, he was thrown to the ground by Gakuma!
Gakuma fired a beam of light at Tiga, who dodged it. Tiga seized the opportunity and charged forward again, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Gakuma! However, this two-tentacle Gakuma was far more powerful than the previous one, its defenses significantly stronger. Tiga's attacks did not inflict much damage.
The energy emitted from the tentacles on Gakuma's head forced Ultraman Tiga back.
Gakuma went all out, extending its claws and lunging forward to deliver two heavy blows to Tiga. Tiga was knocked to the ground.
Gakuma, however, was relentless, extending its antennae forward and fiercely ramming into Tiga.
Tiga was unable to dodge the heavy blow, and was hit in the leg. He was then launched into the air by Gakuma and crashed heavily to the ground.
Gakuma unleashed a petrification ray at Tiga, causing Tiga's body to begin to petrify. The members of the GUTS team were extremely worried when they saw this.
Tick-tock! The gem timer on Tiga's chest is starting to sound a red alert!
In the moment of crisis, Tiga transformed into his powerful form and was freed from petrification.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Tiga charged forward and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Gakuma. Sparks flew everywhere, and Gakuma screamed in agony!
Just as Gakuma was about to be killed by Tiga, Yang Guang transformed into Ultraman Geed and appeared.
They stopped Tiga from continuing his attack on Gakuma.
"Ok?"
"what happened?"
Why did Gade stop Ultraman Tiga?
Not to mention everyone else, even Tiga was puzzled.
Weren't we teammates who fought together? What do you mean by stopping me from fighting monsters?
Gade spoke to Tiga, saying, "Gakuma lives here, but it attacks humans because of overexploitation by humans that has destroyed their habitat. We don't necessarily have to destroy Gakuma. We can take it to an uninhabited island to live on. Humans can also give Gakuma some of their garbage to turn it into stone. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone."
Tiga found this very reasonable and agreed to Gade's suggestion.
“Tiga, go and explain the situation to the humans. I'll go and persuade Gakuma,” Geed said.
So Tiga came before the humans and began to communicate with them. Meanwhile, Geed came before Gakuma to communicate.
“Gakuma, please be quiet and listen to me. I will take you to a deserted island to live. I hope you can live peacefully with humans.”
As a monster, it was quite intelligent; it understood what Gade meant. Moreover, having just been beaten up by that giant, it knew it was no match for him, so it readily agreed.
As the saying goes in the Dragon Kingdom, those who absorb the rare mist are heroes!
I never expected that Gakuma would also have a colonel's accent!
So Gade lifted the Gakuma and flew to a deserted island, where he settled it.
Tiga explained the situation to the humans, and Director Sawai agreed to the outcome.
With the matter resolved, everyone on the Victory Team returned to TPC headquarters.
Meanwhile, our protagonist, Comrade Yang Guang, returned to his rented apartment and had a wonderful sleep.
The next day, Yang Guang got up early, had breakfast, and then went to the secondhand market to buy two motorcycles. He also bought some outdoor gear and food, and then rode to the nearby mountains for exercise.
After all, he has now become Ultraman, and his physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people. If he were to work out or exercise in the city, his superhuman strength would easily attract attention. If he were to suppress his strength, he would not achieve the desired training effect.
Moreover, Yang Guang knew that many more enemies would appear in the future, some of them incredibly powerful. His current strength was simply insufficient to contend with them!
Yang Guang went to the mountains, found an open space, and began practicing the fighting skills he remembered from Ultraman. Then he practiced Tai Chi.
Tai Chi Chuan is a type of internal martial art that emphasizes the principles of Yin and Yang. The saying goes, "The interplay of Yin and Yang constitutes the Dao." The transformations of Yin and Yang encompass everything, and each move is unpredictable, often leaving the opponent bewildered and allowing the opponent to easily misdirect their force and strike first despite being the one to react.
Practicing Tai Chi used to help Yang Guang control the heat flow within his body. Now he finally understands that the heat flow within his body is Ultraman's energy, and he has become even more powerful.
After finishing his Tai Chi practice, it was noon, and Yang Guang started preparing food for himself.
After lunch and a short rest, Yang Guang began strength training. He found a rock weighing several hundred kilograms and started various weight-bearing exercises.
After finishing the weight training, rest for a while until your body recovers under the influence of the light energy in your body before starting the striking practice.
Yang Guang found a large tree and slapped it with both arms at a certain frequency. This is a common training method used by martial artists to strengthen their arms. After slapping the tree, he relaxed and swung his arms, slapping them against his body. This was done to increase the body's resistance to impact and the range of motion of the shoulder joints, all in the name of making his arms as hard as steel and as flexible as a whip!
After finishing all that and taking a short rest, it was almost evening. Yang Guang packed up his things and rode his bike home.
