"You're so impulsive, just like you were back in the day, Daigo..."
Lina leaned against Daigo, watching Li Xiang pilot the Flying Swallow into the sky and fly into outer space.
"Heir of Light... The future is in your hands!"
Daigo watched the Flying Swallow disappear into the atmosphere and murmured to himself.
Li Xiang piloted the Flying Swallow and quickly approached the experimental spacecraft.
Dozens of Specia flew around the sound ship, dodging the ship's active defense cannons, attempting to break through the cannon defenses and devour the test ship and its new energy source!
"We won't let you succeed!"
Li Xiang piloted the Flying Swallow into the swarm of Scia and, relying on his superb piloting skills, instantly took down two Scia.
The Scias discovered the suddenly appearing Flying Swallow, and some of them immediately changed their target and began attacking the Flying Swallow.
A large number of Sphias chased after Li Xiang, firing beams of light, putting Li Xiang in a difficult situation.
Moreover, this time Li Xiang was actually piloting the Flying Swallow to apply to return to Mars to see Daigo and Lina, and the Flying Swallow didn't carry many weapon systems at all.
Faced with the Sphia Cluster, all they could do was stall for time and wait for the Super Victory Team to arrive and provide support.
Next, Li Xiang destroyed a few more Sphias, but it seemed that the Sphias discovered that the Flying Swallow did not have enough weapon systems, so more Sphias began to attack the experimental spaceship!
"Damn it, you bastards! I'm your match!"
Seeing that Sphia was no longer paying attention to him and was continuing to attack the experimental spaceship, Li Xiang began to get anxious.
The experimental spacecraft carried even fewer weapons, after all, it was just an experimental spacecraft.
If Sphia were to devour the spaceship and its new energy source, it might turn into a powerful monster!
It's even possible that Sphia will use new energy sources to reproduce even more Sphia!
That must be the reason why Sphia suddenly attacked this new energy experimental spaceship!
"You won't get away with this! Don't even think about it!"
Since Sphia is focused on attacking the experimental spaceship, there is no hope of delaying the situation.
So Li Xiang piloted the Flying Swallow directly into the Sphia cluster, using the Flying Swallow to attract the attention of these guys.
This is an attack driven by a willingness to die!
While firing green lasers, the Flying Swallow had already rushed into the Sphia cluster.
Although these Specia were targeting the experimental spaceship, they didn't mind the Flying Swallow rushing towards them. Instead, they pounced on it, stuck to the Flying Swallow's hull, and prepared to devour it.
Sparks burst forth from the cockpit of the Flying Swallow as Li Xiang gripped the control stick tightly, trying to keep the Flying Swallow in check and resist the invasion of Sphia.
Attracting so many Sphias to attach themselves to the Flying Swallow at least bought valuable time for the experimental spacecraft...
The communicator in the cockpit emitted intermittent sounds.
"Team member Li Xiang... hiss... Team member Li Xiang, can you hear me?"
"Hiss... What happened to the Flying Swallow? Are you alright?"
Zong Fangcheng's anxious voice came through, and Li Xiang answered breathlessly.
"This is Li Xiang. The Flying Swallow has been possessed by the Sphia and is about to be swallowed up, but I have successfully shared most of the Sphia's burden with the experimental ship, buying precious time for the arrival of the Super Victory Team!"
"Li Xiang... hiss... staff! This is ridiculous... hiss... immediately... return..."
"Coach Munakata, I will complete my mission, defeat Sphia, and protect the experimental spaceship and the personnel on board!"
"I cannot return, I repeat, I cannot return!"
"If... you can find my body, please, bury me on Earth..."
The communicator was completely cut off as soon as he finished speaking.
The joystick is completely out of control, and the Flying Swallow will soon become part of the Sphia.
"It seems I might not even have a corpse left, Earth..."
Li Xiang was prepared to die, and then drew the Victory Hyper gun from his waist. He was ready to use this gun to continue fighting Sphia to the very end!
As Sphia assimilated the Flying Swallow, the cockpit began to shake again, making Li Xiang dizzy.
It was at this moment that he suddenly felt something burning hot in his chest.
Li Xiang took out the scalding hot object; it was the spark prism that Da Gu had given him!
At this moment, the spark prism was emitting light.
Then, Li Xiang suddenly fell into someone's memory.
"That's... the giant—Ultraman Tiga!"
Li Xiang saw the memories of the giant of light, Ultraman Tiga during the battle, and Daigo transforming into Tiga to fight monsters!
The scenes flashed by, and Li Xiang learned the truth.
"So... Daigo-senpai was Ultraman Tiga!"
Just as Li Xiang was marveling at the fact that his respected senior Daigo was Tiga, another memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Those weren't other people's memories, but Li Xiang's own.
That was when Li Xiang was a child. Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, descended, darkness enveloped the earth, and countless monsters began to attack human cities.
Countless humans perished in the monster's attack.
Li Xiang's parents, as soldiers, also sacrificed their lives in this battle.
Subsequently, even Ultraman Tiga was defeated, turned into a stone statue, and sank to the bottom of the sea.
But it was at this very moment, when the whole world was plunged into darkness, that hope appeared.
Countless children transformed into light and entered Tiga's body, reviving the giant once again and successfully defeating Gatanothor, bringing peace back to Earth!
Li Xiang was one of the countless children at that time.
Li Xiang gripped the spark prism in his hand, muttering to himself in a daze.
"So... I'm also Ultraman Tiga?"
In an instant, Li Xiang understood why Daigu had given him the Spark Prism.
"I will not let everyone down!"
"Here we go, Ultraman Tiga!"
Li Xiang held the spark prism high, and the two halves of the crystal opened, bursting forth with dazzling light!
Chapter 3 A Call from Afar
Staff Officer Kei sat in her seat, watching the surveillance footage on the screen.
A few seconds ago, Li Xiang piloted the Flying Swallow into the Scia cluster, and then a large number of Scia enveloped the machine.
Thus, the experimental spacecraft faced a momentary reduction in the attacks from Sphia, allowing it to catch its breath, but the situation of Li Xiang inside the Flying Swallow was probably not good.
Zong Fangcheng continued to call out to Li Xiang through the communicator, but clearly, he was no longer getting a response.
"Staff..."
"Keep in touch!"
Zongfang Chengyi looked helplessly at Staff Officer Jujian Hui, only to see that Jujian Hui's expression was extremely serious.
"Get the Super Victory Team moving faster! He's the first member of our Victory Team restart plan, and we absolutely cannot let him sacrifice himself!"
At this point, Megumi suddenly remembered something.
"Also, please contact Daigo, who is on Mars!"
Munakata immediately began contacting Daigo, while continuing to silently watch the Flying Swallow on the screen.
Softia has almost completely enveloped the entire machine. Even if the members of Super GUTS arrive on the battlefield now, they probably won't be able to rescue Li Xiang.
"Li Xiang, you must hold on..."
"If it were Ultraman... would he be in time?"
At that moment, the Flying Swallow on the screen changed!
A burst of light appeared inside the Flying Swallow, and the moment the light appeared, it blasted away all of the Sphia that were enveloping the Flying Swallow, allowing it to escape danger.
Then, the light gathered in front of the Flying Swallow and appeared as a purplish-red giant!
"That's—Ultraman!"
"Is it a bird...?"
"No...that's not Dyna!"
All the members in the command post were shocked to see the giant appear, but even more so, they felt a sense of familiarity.
Yes, it's about warmth and familiarity.
In this world, there are two giants who protect humanity and fight alongside them.
Ultraman Tiga, Dyna!
However, after Tiga disappeared, people in the new era seem to have a clearer understanding of Shin Asuka, also known as Ultraman Dyna.
This might be why Daigo deliberately concealed his identity, while Asuka openly transformed into Dyna in front of the Earthlings.
Megumi, on the other hand, was even more aware of the differences between the two Ultramen.
"That's... Ultraman Tiga!"
As soon as Megumi finished speaking, Munakata Jouichi, who had just connected with Daigo, suddenly came over and looked at the figure of Ultraman Tiga on the screen.
"It really is Ultraman Tiga! It's been so long, Ultraman Tiga!"
Zong Fangcheng, unusually, abandoned his usual seriousness and revealed an expression of extreme excitement on his face.
That's only natural. Munakata Jouichi, the former vice-captain of the GUTS team, fought alongside Ultraman Tiga countless times.
How could I not be excited to see my old comrades again?
Meanwhile, Megumi noticed something else: she saw Daigo looking completely bewildered on the contact screen that Munakata had connected to.
