ULTRAMAN SCORPIO

Episode One: The Ancient Tomb

kaiju: Neburazeiro

ELC is in the process of constructing a new landing area for shuttlecraft when Captain Kawanira of Lunar Excavation is informed of an obstruction in the lunar soil. The stubborn Captain insists that construction continue as dozens of LunaJumpers are arriving with supplies.

Meanwhile, a strange gas cloud appears around the entire Earth! It is eerily visible to the workers on the construction site. A LunaJumper touches down. Sowza and Sasura jump out and head for the mobile construction site camp. The Captain is annoyed by NOVA's presence and tells them to stay out of his office.

On Earth, seismic activity is present all over the globe. Huge chunks of mountain are torn by some invisible force and lift into the sky. Soon, there is enough rock in Earth orbit to form a planetary ring!

Sasura decides to head back to Camerotta to check in but an excited Sowza insists in staying at the construction site. More of the obstruction has been uncovered. The workers have apparently found a structure of some kind buried on the moon! Sasura assists in further excavation until most of the monumental building is revealed. Sowza dubs it the 'Space Tomb' because of its eerie quality.

NOVA sensors show that a life-energy force is building up in Earth's new planetary ring. Sasuza, Kaira and Gadura fly off in three LunaJumpers to investigate. They get close to the ring just as they see a monster emerging from within the rocks. It is Neburazeiro, a powerful monster made of space alloy. They try to slow it down with the LunaJumper's basic weapons but have no success. The monster heads for the moon!

Camerotta is in a state of panic, as is every other station on the moon. Neburazeiro is approaching. Sowza is the first to notice that the Space Tomb has begun humming. Giant crystalline columns move and the Tomb sems to lift up higher, revealing more of itself. Giant doors slide open and reveal the frozen form of a gigantic warrior!

The monster crashes down and begins destroying the lunar colonies. NOVA cannot even slow the creature. The frozen figure slowly thaws and gains new life: Ultraman Scorpio rises again! His eyes burn brightly as he launches into the sky!

Scorpio intercepts the monster and battles it using dragon-like kung-fu moves. Neburazeiro has a few energy attacks but is mostly a large, hulking monstrosity. Scorpio leaps around the kaiju easily and finally blasts it with his Space Arrow. Neburazeiro explodes and the humans run for cover wherever they can.

When the dust settles and NOVA checks its scanners, Scorpio is gone. The Tomb is silent again. Sasura wonders what happened to the giant hero
