In a galaxy far away from ours, there lived a group of individuals who gained extraordinary powers due to an accident on their planet. These beings, with their newly gained powers, had a great sense of justice and they protected the innocent from invaders.

These beings came to be known as Ultramen.

One of the greatest tasks that could be given to an Ultraman was the task of protecting the planet called Earth from Alien Invaders and such. One had to be trained under the greatest of all Ultra-men before they could be sent to Earth as its defender.

Our story begins with the latest edition to the Ultraman Defense Force known as Ultra-Garrison, Ultraman X. Being young for his race, it would be many more years before he could actually become its defender. Yet, due to various circumstances, our young hero finds himself defending Earth against the beings known as Angels.


Ultraman X stared up at the screen and sighed. It was a montage of all the previous Ultramen that had been the defenders of Earth. Ultraman; Ultra-Seven; Ultraman Jack and so on. Each one of them had been able to forge unbreakable bonds with the humans on Earth.

X got up and looked at himself in the mirror. His body had red and black markings all over, indicating that his body type was suitable to be a member of the Legendary Ultra-Garrison. His Colour Timer, was in the shape of an X, hence his name Ultraman X.

"I will reach there someday!" X thought to himself as he nonchalently turned to look at the clock. It was half past seven. "Crap!" X turned towards the window and jumped out of it, zooming towards the training grounds where he was supposed to have his martial arts lesson with the newest teacher at M78, Ultraman Zero .The training ground that he had been assigned to was an abandoned planet near M78.

Ultraman Zero was one of the newest and strongest Ultraman at M78. His abilities were so highly regarded that a few years ago, all the Ultramen on the planet gave me energy to fight the Evil Ultaman Bellial in another dimension.

X flew the fastest he could, zooming past the various crystal buildings. He flew past the Clock tower where Ultraman Bellial had once stolen the Ultra-Spark, the energy source that was now powering his home-world.

Finally, arriving at the training ground, X landed in the middle of it, only to find it to be deserted. X looked around frantically, trying to sense the presence of his master.

"Zero nii-san?" X called out as he walked ahead. Suddenly, out of nowhere, an energy beam was fired and X instinctively rolled out of the way to dodge it. Looking upwards only in time to take a flying kick to the face, X flew back from the impact of the kick., slamming against a nearby mountain.

X fell to his knees, barely being able to catch his breath. He assualted by yet another barrage of punches, which he tried to defend himself against. Finally,seeing a gap in his opponent's defense, he punched out with all his might, only for his opponent to easily dodge it, grab his arm and toss him over his shoulder.

His opponent stomped down with all his might, barely missing X as he rolled out of the way. Rolling to his feet, he put some distance between his enemy and got into a defensive stance.

"Huh... Still very poor. Don't tell the others that you are my student." Ultraman Zero folded his arms and looked at his students.

X looked down at his feet, ashamed at how his master had chided him. "Hey, I held my own against.."

"Firstly, you were not on your guard at all, allowing me to gain the upper hand. Your reactions aren't nearly fast enough to defend against my attacks. You need to use your head more! think and analyse your opponent's weakness " Ultraman Zero reasoned. "You are still light years away from going out on your first mission, let alone be the defender of Earth."

X clenched his fist. Deep down, he knew it was true. The only reason why he was given a chance to work with Ultraman Zero was because he was falling behind in his class. To get him to catch up with the rest, Ultra-seven, one of the first few Ultramen to visit Earth, asked his son, Ultraman Zero to coach him.

Ultraman Zero seeing how low X's shoulders had drooped after his scoldings sighed. he walked towards the young Ultraman.

"You still have much to learn..." Ultraman Zero placed his hand on X's shoulder. "But with my tutelage, you will be the best in no time." he gave X a thumbs up before continuing his lesson.

After the lesson, X lay down on the training ground exhausted. Ultraman Zero had just given him one of the most vigorous trainings that he had ever gone though. "That was the worst training ever!" X complained as he felt aches in every part of his body.

Ultraman Zero sat next to him and looked at him. "Why do you want to go to Earth so badly? There are many other places that you can be sent to protect."

X sat up straight. "Mebius nii-san told me once about the bonds he forged with the people there. It's a wonderful thing, isn't it? We are completely different species and yet the humans trust us completely to defend them. I want to go there and experience this bond that Mebius Nii-san told me about."

Ultraman Zero gave a little chuckle. "If you want to get to Earth so badly, continue to train as hard as you did. I am sure you will get there someday."

"Well, that's enough for today." Ultraman Zero got up and dusted himself off. "Tomorrow, same time here. DON'T be la...Something is wrong..." Ultraman Zero looked around.

X felt the same change in energy levels around him and agreed. "Yeah, Something... doesn't feel right."

Both Ultramen took to the skies and surveyed their surroundings. Together, they spotted a wormhole on a nearby asteroid and they converged on it.

"This is..." X wondered.

"Wormhole. Like the one I used years ago to find Bellial." Ultraman Zero explained to his young protege. "This could be..."

Ultraman Zero was interrupted by an energy beam which both Ultramen instinctively dodged. They looked up at the alien who shot the beam. It was the lobster-like alien, Baltan Seijin. With a demonic laughter, he fired several more beams.

X was about to engage the Baltan but Ultraman Zero stopped him. "X, you are fully trained yet. fall back and let me handle this."

"But.."

"This is an order!" With that, Ultraman Zero rushed towards his enemy and engaged in battle. X watched as his master overpowered the alien, trying to learn by seeing his master in action.

Easily dodging all the attacks, Ultraman Zero unleashed an uppercut which knock Baltan off balance. Quickly following up with a roundhouse kick, Ultraman Zero intended to end the battle as soon as possible.

X then, picked up on a cry for help. He looked around and deduced that the SOS came from within the wormhole. Using his Ultra-vision, he saw a scene that was all too familiar to him.

Burning buildings. An Azure Sky. Little beings known as Humans running from a huge never-before-seen had an unusually lanky physique and exaggerated proportions, arms reaching below the knees, and elongated shins and feet, with the impression of leg length furthered by the absence of a head and neck. It's face had a large beak, unlike any monster that X had read up on.

"Earth...Those humans need help. Zero-nii-san!" The wormhole started to close up. Seeing that Ultraman Zero was busy taking care of Baltan and that time was running out, X thought back about his wish to form bonds with the humans on earth and saw that this was his chance X somersaulted over the fight and entered the entering, he looked back at Ultraman Zero. . "Sorry Zero-nii-san, those humans need someone to help them!"

"X, don't!" Ultraman Zero called out as he gripped Baltan into headlock. With his hand outstretched, he saw X fly into the wormhole and the wormhole closed up after him.


X flew into the wormhole and emerged on the other side. He looked back and saw that the wormhole had disappeared. "Guess that I am not heading hom though the way I came through."

Surveying his surroundings, he found the city to be in ruins. There was almost no humans around the area which was a good thing. The alien was attacking an orange robot; gripping it by it's legs, the alien threw the robot into a building which collapsed under it's weight.

X nodded and flew towards the alien at breakneck speed. Tackling the alien, the impact blew it off it's feet several kilometres away. Getting into an attacking stance, X faced his opponent.

"Who are you?" X tried to communicate telepathically with the alien as the alien got back up on it's feet.. "Why are you doing this?"

"Adam..." was the response that X got.

"Adam? Is that your name?"

The alien shook its body violently before firing a laser beam at X which he dodged by rolling away. "Shachiel..." the alien spoke once more before repeating the word Adam once more as if it was looking for something.

X somersaulted over Sachiel and grabbed him from behind. Holding Sachiel in place, X rained blows on him before finally throwing him over his shoulder. Not wanting to give the alien a chance to breath, X jumped on the fallen Sachiel , pinning him to the ground before punching it several times.

Sachiel grabbed X's hand and kicked him off with one swift motion. As X crashed into a building, he suddenly heard screams. X looked around before noticing two young children nearby who were trapped beneath some debris.

Getting up on one knee, X activated the X beam, extracting the children from the debris and into his hand. He examined them carefully. The girl was wailing loudly but seemed fine otherwise. the boy on the other hand was breathing heavily and seemed to have suffered internal injuries.

Suddenly, X suffered a heavy blow on his back, crumbling under the force. "Crap!" X thought to himself. "I let myself get distracted in the middle of the fight."

With the children still in his hand, he tried to roll out of the way but to no avail as Sachiel gripped him by the face and lifted him into the air. There, Sachiel shot out it's laser lance, repeatedly ramming X's face. X screamed in pain as he tried to break free.

The colour timer on X's chest started to blink. X knew what it meant. His energy level was delpleting rapidly and he only had precious little time left in this form. Ultramen were generally unable to maintain their huge forms due to the atmosphere and X was no exception.

As the pain radiated through X's body, X felt like giving up. It was then, that X heard the scream of the little girl once more.

The children! He thought to himself. "I can't lose! That's because I am an Ultraman!"

Placing the children within his colour timer to free his hand, he wrapped his body around Sachiel's arm before twisting it to force Sachiel to let go.

Finally free, X got up on his feet and raced towards Sachiel, trading blows with him.A quick succession of punches and a round house kick stunned Sachiel.

"This is the end!" X crossed his hands in an 'X' style ray, firing the X-Shot, his variant of the traditional Ultraman finisher, Specium Ray, focusing on the red orb within the center of Sachiel.

The beam, died down, leaving a petrified Sachiel to explode, causing a mushroom shaped cloud to form.

X fell to his knees as he used one hadn to support his weight. The fight had taken up more than he thought it would. Extracting the children from his colour timer, he lay them on the ground. The girl fell unconscious but , the boy with spectacles had his vital signs decreasing rapidly.

"It was my fault." X thought to himself. "I have to try to save him." Holding out his hand, he merged his own life force with the bespectacled boy, making him X's human host.

The fight took a lot out of X and so after merging his life force with his new human host, X's consciousness faded into darkness.

A/N: So I finally got to writing a more polished version of the previous story that I posted here. The Ultraman X here would follow the designs of the latest Ultraman of the same name. However, there will be slight changes to his powers since the show hasn't offically come out yet. I am really amazed how there are more stories like this in the website. I mean, Ultraman and Evangelion were really similar to me when I first watched Evangelion. So yep, I hope you guys like it and tell me what you think about it. The fight scenes etc. Or just basically anything in general.
