This is part of another battle sequence I created in Project Ultraman Tiga: The Animated Trilogy, a fan-fictional, non-canon remake of the extremely popular Ultraman Tiga series into a trilogy of anime films with slightly different storylines. In this battle, having foiled an alien invader's well-orchestrated plan to destroy Earth, the mighty Ultraman Tiga proceeds to battle one of the most powerful and perhaps the most well known of the Ultra monsters. Go on, make a guess who!
If I manage to start and finish the fanfics, this fanfic would be part of the second film Ultraman Tiga: Guardian of Earth.

Having successfully destroyed every single nuclear missile that the invader had seized control of and fired at every major city in the world, Ultraman Tiga rocketed back towards Shinjuku city as fast as he could, just as his GUTS allies had finished off the missiles headed for the country of Japan.
I'm finally here; hope that the city's safe…for now…Tiga thought, as he spotted the Shinjuku skyline dead ahead. Passing by the massive twin towers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, Tiga slowed down and landed, just as all of a sudden, a deep, hearty, unearthly and creepy peal of laughter echoed around the city, heard from miles around and sending chills of fear down the spines of all who heard the voice, other than Tiga himself.
''You may have foiled my plan to prepare Earth for an invasion, but as long as I am here, your planet will still fall,'' said the same voice, ''so despair, Ultraman Tiga; you will cease being an interference to our conquest. Brace yourself, for your actions have not protected this planet yet. Prepare for your own downfall as well, giant, for your actions have, instead…ignited my wrath…
There was a great clap of thunder, and the towering, black, glittering insectoid form of the Baltan invader suddenly materialized out of thin air and right behind Tiga, its massive, lobsterlike pincer-claws open and glowing with a blinding white light.
Sensing danger, Tiga spun around, only to be confounded by a blinding flash of light and then an incredible sensation of agony as the Baltan's biokinetic, antigravity blast struck Tiga squarely in his chest, sending him flying. Tiga crashed into an office tower, completely demolishing it and violently shaking the Earth as he landed.
Before Tiga could even get up, the Baltan relentlessly fired a steady volley of antigravity blasts, spreading the demolition to the surrounding buildings and obscuring the air with a huge, dense cloud of dust. When the alien finally paused, surveying the devastation, the dust cloud suddenly cascaded outwards with gale forces as the Giant of Light blasted himself out of the devastation, raining a flurry of earth-shattering blows upon the Baltan. Caught by surprise but no less intimidated by the force rushing at it, the Baltan swiftly brought its claws to bear, parrying Tiga's blows.
A powerful kick sent the Baltan crashing into another building, but just as Tiga charged again, the Baltan quickly recovered, swiping its massive claws about. Tiga followed up, parrying the claws twice before being forced to his knees blocking one of its stronger blows with both forearms crossed, which, unfortunately for him, allowed the Baltan to point its other open claw at Tiga. In another blinding flash of light, Tiga was knocked back and onto the streets.
As the Baltan's claws glowed once more, this time even brighter than before, Tiga braced himself for its attack, which came as a pair of blinding streams of energy that Tiga avoided by flipping aside; the spot which he had just left exploded into a magnificent corona of blazing fire and earth. Somersaulting backwards to avoid a second round of fire just as deadly as the first, Tiga quickly thrust his palm outwards from his side, and a blue-white bolt of light blossomed from Tiga's fingers. The beam blast, however, passed harmlessly through the alien's body, which had suddenly faded into thin air. Baltan's laughter filled the air again as it teleported.
Damn it! Thought Tiga, just as the Baltan reappeared behind him. Whirling around to confront his bizarre foe, an idea came to Tiga's mind.
''Come and get me if you can!' Tiga shouted, switching to his lavender and silver Sky Type combat mode and leaping into flight, becoming a lavender-silver blur as he rocketed skywards. The Baltan followed suit, and in just a split second, both titans were racing high above the skies of Shinjuku at massive speeds easily a little over hypersonic levels, leaving loud, resonating sonic booms as both flew on.
I'll draw Baltan away from the city to somewhere where we won't cause any more harm. Let's see if my speed can outstrip his, thought Tiga, as his enemy's antigravity blasts whizzed by, narrowly avoiding Tiga. Both titans, now the fastest beings on the planet, battled ferociously in the skies, each trading laser fire with the other, weaving in and out of clouds, dodging flak and occasionally whizzing past each other and lashing out, only to have their blows parried.
Unimpressed with Tiga's attacks, the Baltan sent another pair of beams straight for Tiga, who immediately dropped like a stone to avoid them, just as bolts of ferocious lightning struck Tiga. Knowing that this was Tiga's Lightning Blade attack, the Baltan instantly braced itself, keeping its claws close to itself; Tiga sent the ball lightning energy he accumulated as a surging blade of light, guiding it quickly to strike the Baltan, which was now moving faster than ever, seemingly eager to throw off the Lightning Blade attack following it around with a nasty crackle of electricity. However, the blade of light finally struck the Baltan, enveloping it in a massive spherical field of energy and ripping the alien apart within its fiery power.
Seemingly victorious, Tiga lowered his hands, only to have a double take; the Baltan's glittering form emerged from the explosion of energy, glowing with a hazy blue aura and shedding a shimmering substance from its exoskeleton, much as an insect moulted its own old skin. From the alien fell a hazy blue replica of it, which dissolved into nothingness, leaving behind a new and perfectly unscathed Baltan, whose deep, creepy laughter filled the air again.
Amused by Tiga's look of shock and horror, the alien invader's laughter seemed even more amused and more dangerous at the same time.
''If you thought you were both the fastest and the most powerful force around, you are about to meet your worst nightmare…'' growled the Baltan, whose claws began to shrink away, leaving a large, wicked-looking sword on where its right claw was, and a just-as-deadly-looking gun barrel on the left. Its chest shrank into the Baltan's torso just as the Baltan's shoulders elongated, forming a pair of long, broad shoulder pads studded with millions of tiny, black needles each the size of a man. The Baltan's black exoskeleton itself transformed into a dark, menacing bronze; Its bug like face morphed into a sharper, crueler version of itself.
''I, too, can transform into a stronger form like you,'' said the Baltan, in a new, rougher, more menacing, metallic-sounding voice. ''You're very fortunate that I've saved this for our battle; few have lived to tell the tale of surviving a fight from a fully powered Baltan.''
And so began the most awesome battle Tiga had ever been in yet.
Tiga had never had such a flight in his entire life. The Baltan's Neo Baltan form was truly a living nightmare to Tiga – Neo Baltan's speed and ferocity was unlike any other enemy he had ever fought before, even the one he had spent the past minute fighting. Even in Sky Type mode, Tiga couldn't easily out-fly his opponent; whenever he turned round to aim a laser blast, the Baltan's sword-arm came scathingly close. Quickly parrying the Neo Baltan's sword with his own slashing motions, Tiga could not muster enough power to fully deflect the blow, and had to resort to evading whenever Baltan struck out. This went on for a few seconds, until the Neo Baltan finally landed its first solid blow – sending its sword crashing upon Tiga's chest caused Tiga to reel back in great pain, momentarily causing him to lose flight.
Fortunately, his gold-silver Tector had stopped the worst of the attack, allowing Tiga to recover quickly; but the worst had yet to come – it came instantly as a bright ball of energy that blasted itself from the Baltan's cannon-arm, before exploding into a hundred more smaller energy bombs, all emitting an aura that told Tiga they were nothing but an extremely dangerous threat to him now.
This called for some extreme countermeasures. Tiga subconsciously willed himself to move, and as the bombs began exploding around him, Tiga's superhuman speed, already exceptionally fast in Sky Type mode, magnified even further to levels Sky Type had never reached before. Using this new level of Sky Type power, the Giant of Light, bombarded on all sided by lightning-fast blooms of plasma, did what he could to survive the onslaught as the air exploded around him, zipping and darting about haphazardly to avoid being hit. It was a superhuman feat that took Tiga an enormous deal of concentration, to open himself fully to the potential power he had inside. As soon as the relentless bombardment came to an abrupt stop, Tiga snapped out of his thoughts, slowing down to conserve his power, just as Neo Baltan's sword appeared out of nowhere, reaching for his throat.
Instinctively, Tiga dodged with whatever superhuman speed he could muster, reaching out for his power to move again. This, however, was immensely difficult to do, since his last bout at it had left him very drained. Neo Baltan's attack just intensified, just as the GUTS Team arrived in their mobile suits from below. They had arrived just in time to see the two titans engage in a spectacular mid-air battle, and were just awed by the speed at which they both moved – they both looked as if there were dozens of themselves rocketing around the sky, the enemy using dozens of its own weapons and Tiga seemingly crouching, ducking, backing away, leaning back, twisting and in a dozen different moves at every second that passed.
However, it was all over in a matter of seconds; Neo Baltan's sword finally struck Tiga's side with a vicious, searing blow.
The pain was excruciating. Tiga screamed, snapping back and immediately dropping like a stone back to the ground. Neo Baltan didn't stop there; it rammed its own cannon barrel into Tiga's abdomen and then fired, engulfing Tiga in another bright explosion. As the GUTS Team looked in horror, Tiga crashed back into the city below, landing in his own crater and leaving devastation that stretched for miles around. Within the dust and devastation, Tiga stirred feebly, his Bio Sensor blinking away like crazy.
Neo Baltan landed close by, and Tiga felt the alien's cold blade collide with his injured side, intensifying his agony. As the alien lifted the battered silver giant into the air by the blade, rivulets of what looked like liquid light, shimmering brightly in the dust cloud obscuring the devastated city, began pouring from where the alien sword pierced Tiga. As Tiga struggled feebly, groaning in pain, the Baltan lifted its cannon and placed it right before Tiga's Bio Sensor, a bright glow shining within the barrel.
''You are finished, Ultraman Tiga. Neither your speed nor strength can save you now,'' growled the alien, which pressed the cold tip of the cannon into Tiga's chest, right under his Bio Sensor.
''…Ultra or not…you're still only a man…''

GUTS beast hunter Daigo Madoka has a big secret – he is Ultraman Tiga, the resurrected Giant of Light who had reawakened to save the world from an uncontrollable chaos, facing bizarre, deadly, and outright devastating new monsters with his superhuman speed, strength and power. However, he has yet to face his greatest challenges.
After failing to save a scientist friend from mutating into a monster like those he was supposed to protect the world from, Daigo questions his own worth being the avatar of the Giant of Light, just as GUTS and TPC unearth startling clues that evidence the existence of a great conspiracy controlling the world within the United Nations, a conspiracy woven into place by an unknown member of their own. As Daigo finds himself increasingly unable to save the people he knows, an alien invader prepares to strike from within TPC, preparing to orchestrate a new nuclear holocaust that would surely wipe out humanity as we know it, taking Ultraman Tiga with them.
As nuclear missiles worldwide get hijacked and fired towards all major cities on Earth, Daigo must muster his courage to stop the alien invader, gaining newfound support from his friends in GUTS and from the world. In the ensuing battle for Earth, Daigo, as Ultraman Tiga, would prove in a lightning display of unparalleled strength and courage that he, beyond any shadow of doubt, is the mightiest protector in the world, as the world counts down closer towards Armageddon.
