Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I've been working on other projects and college has eaten up time. Anyway, here's the next chapter! The next few chapters will be more character based, and we'll start closing up some storylines that have been happening, including introducing the series second Ultra. Enjoy!

Ultrawoman Corona Episode 23, Chouju Nightmare;

Tokyo Bay, 7 pm;

Nami stood on the shore of the ocean, a strange object floating out in the ocean. "Ambassador Nami, you've been on the surface for a long time now, are you sure you won't return?" asked a female voice from the object, a strange red submarine.

Nami nodded, smiling. "I know that you've got my best interests, but I still have important business here."

"I still don't know why you're so obsessive over these humans, they're so violent, the Ultras aren't much better."

Nami sighed. "I realize the last time we surfaced didn't end well, but humans have changed much since then. They're much more tolerant of things they don't understand," she explained. "They've seen aliens and monsters fight to protect them, they've learned much. And as for the Ultras, I know they've at times killed innocent monsters, but they haven't a choice in the matter many of those times."

A sigh came from the submarine. "Alright, you have been doing an excellent job representing our people, but be very careful, we still don't know how the humans would react if they discovered the truth about you."

"Nami?" yelled Yuki, approaching from the distance.

"My boyfriends coming, I'm afraid, I must go," said Nami, bowing.

"Alright, but I still don't understand how you could fall in love with a human but good luck," said the voice, the submarine disappearing below the ocean.

Yuki ran up to Nami, panting. "There you are…were you talking to someone? I heard voices."

Nami shook her head. "No one but the sea, now let's go have our date," she said, taking his hand and leading him towards a restaurant.

Neo Ultra Garrison HQ, 9 pm;

Later that night, Yuki sat next to Kat, looking concerned. "I don't know what's going on Kat, every time I go out somewhere with her, she disappears and when I catch up, she's talking to someone, but she'll never tell me who, saying she's just talking to the ocean," explained Yuki.

"So? She's not cheating on you, it's a female voice after all," replied Kat, not all that concerned.

Yuki sighed. "It's not that, it's that she's lying, I know she isn't seeing someone else, but I want to know what the big secret is."

Kat shrugged, not really interested. "To be honest, I think you're overreacting, but that's just me."

Yuki growled, angered at her lack of concern. "Couldn't you just use your mind reading powers to find out?"

Kat chuckled. "For one, not that important to me, for two, it's hard to read someone's mind whose as smart as Nami is," she explained. "With Kira, I didn't so much read her mind as I sensed she was an Ultra, if I couldn't sense those things, I wouldn't have known."

Yuki was about to retort when Rimu Eleking jumped onto the table next to him with a concerned cry. He pet the tiny monster, glad someone cared. "At least someone is interested!"

Kat rolled her eyes. "Alright, if you must know, something is different about Nami, not like Kira, but something just seems different about her, maybe it's a high intelligence, maybe she's got some kind of latent abilities that she doesn't know of. Anyway, I'll admit, there's something kind of strange about her."

Yuki nodded. "I see, but I guess I'll just be more careful on our next date, not yell at the top of my lungs when I'm looking for her."

Tokyo, midnight;

Two men stood on a building overlooking the city. They were relatively identical, both wearing a black leather jacket, having long black hair, and green eyes. The only difference being a blue mark on one's jacket and a green on the other. They were twins, and they were thieves. "Well brother, think we should go?" asked the blue one.

"Yeah, Jack let's do it," replied the green brother to his sibling, Jake. "Which place should we hit first?"

"Jewelry store?"

"Sure, sounds like a plan, and with this power that Beta gave us, we can have anything we want, whose to stop us?"

Jake nodded. "And we don't even need to break in," he stated, the twins putting on ski masks. Jake took his hands and slashed the air in front of him, tearing open the air like glass to reveal a swirling red space. He allowed his brother to enter first, then he did.

In a jewelry store below, the air was opened much the same and the twins walked out. "My turn," said Jack. Instead of smashing the containers and setting off the alarms, he simply picked the entire jewel display cases up with ease and took them into the portal. Soon the store was vacant of anything of value. "All cleaned out."

Jake nodded. "Good job bro, now let's split." The Twins went back into the portal and vanished.

The next day, the Neo Ultra Garrison investigated the store. "Ok…so what do we investigate?" asked Yuki. "There's nothing here."

"That's exactly why we're here," said Eiji, slapping him in the back of the head. "This is just one place that got robbed last night, all the same way, no signs of forced entry, nothing broken, they just broke in silently and stole everything that had any value."

"And I sensed a monster," explained Kat. "Two actually."

Kira closed her eyes and activated Ultra Vision. She looked around the room, trying to find footprints. "Got them," she stated, following pairs of footprints to their source. "They stop right here."

Kat looked it over, seeing what was up. "They're in the middle of the floor…and there's no hole in the roof or anything…"

"You know, if you ask me, this looks like another one of the human/monster hybrids," stated Eiji. "The refined type, like Zetton."

"You mean ones that can use their powers in human form?" asked Kira. "It's been awhile since we've ran into one of these, but that would make perfect sense."

Kat nodded. "With the right monster powers, they could be in and out before anyone would know the wiser. "

"Send Garret the security tapes, maybe he can make sense of them," said Eiji. "And tell us which monster it is."

Neo Ultra Garrison HQ, 11:30 am;

Garret was showing the tape of the burglary from the previous night. He paused it when Jake tore open the entrance portal. "That clues us into one of their monsters, only one monster possesses it."

"Vakishim, right?" asked Yuki.

Garret blinked. "Yeah…how did you know?"

Kira smiled at the comment. "Me and Yuki did a documentary on Vakishim back when we were working at the network."

Garret nodded. "I see, I remember that, great work. Anyway, Vakishim can tear open portals in space and time to teleport, as well as fire his horn as a spear. He's got organic canons in his claws and nose for use in battle," he explained. He then played the video to show Jack lifting the jewel cases. "As you can see, the second person possesses superhuman strength, but that doesn't help pin down what he is, as many kaiju have super strength."

Eiji looked at the tape. "Well his teammate is a Chouju, maybe the second one is as well."

"Yeah, but the thing is, Chouju, in general, are more powerful than normal kaiju, thus why they're also called Super Beasts," explained Kira. "So what is super strength in a kaiju is in comparison to other monsters of its kind, so a super strong kaiju wouldn't be a super strong Chouju."

Yuki nodded in agreement, then looked at his watch and gasped. "Dang it! I'm late!" he said, getting up quickly.

"What's the rush?" asked Anne, wondering what was important enough to cause him to leave now.

"I have a lunch date with Nami!" said Yuki, running out of the room.

Kat chuckled. "Poor guy, he's paranoid about Nami, hears her talking to someone and suddenly gets paranoid."

Tokyo Bay, 11:55 am;

Nami walked down the pier towards the restaurant that her and Yuki frequented often. She loved Yuki, but not enough to tell him her secret, it wasn't that he wasn't trustworthy…just she didn't want him to think of her different. She was shaken from her thoughts by someone putting their hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Jack, Jake beside him. "Who are you?"

Jack looked her over. "I'm Jack, this is my brother Jake."

"You know, a girl shouldn't be walking around unaccompanied around these parts, could get in trouble," said Jake, smiling. "Give us your purse and jewelry or we'll need to get rough."

Nami growled and grabbed Jack's arm, suddenly turning and flipping him over her shoulder. "What if that woman knows martial arts?"

Jack chuckled. "Doesn't matter…" He grabbed Nami's throat as he shot back up, lifting her off the ground, his eyes glowing green. "When we're not normal."

Jake nodded. "Yeah, so last chance, hand over the goods or we take them."

"You won't take anything!" yelled Yuki's voice. The two turned to see Yuki with his gun aimed at them. "You'd better let her go, I don't miss!"

Jake was taken off guard but laughed. "You don't know who you're dealing with." He slashed the air and tore open a portal, entering it. Yuki looked shocked and looked around for him, only to be blindsided from behind and hit in the back of the head. Jake laughed as Yuki fell unconscious to the ground. "Pathetic."

Nami snarled as she saw her boyfriend fall to the ground unconscious. "You'll pay for that!" she yelled, digging her nails into Jack's arm, forcing him to release her as they turned into sharp claws.

Jack grabbed his bleeding arm in surprise, looking at her. "What are you?"

Nami growled. She crossed her arms in front of her a bright flash covering her, when it settled, it revealed she had yellow-green hair, her body covered in a green body suit with a three pronged white symbol on her chest, white fur on the chest and around the wrists, her hands lighter green with sharp claws. She leapt high into the air and spun, coming down and slashing both of them across the chest, she spun around and did a spinning sweep, knocking both off their feet. As the two staggered to their feet, she spun around and did a spinning roundhouse to their faces, knocking them off the pier and into the water.

Nami panted as she watch them fall into the ocean, she then turned her attention to Yuki, who was starting to stir. "Yuki!" she yelled as she ran over to him, kneeling next to him. "Are you ok?"

Yuki groaned, rubbing his head. "Yeah, I just got blindsided and-" he stopped upon seeing her transformation. "Nami?"

"Yes…its me…" said Nami, biting her lip. "I have a confession to make…I'm not human, I'm a Paradai Seijin."

Yuki blinked. "Paradai Seijin?…From Ultraman Leo's time?"

Nami nodded. "Yes, I'm their ambassador, the Japanese government knows of me and I've been monitoring relations between our species."

"That makes sense, the Paradai weren't an aggressive species, they'd came here peacefully and one of their own was attacked, so they struck back…hey are you why King Paradai kept showing up?"

Nami nodded, looking out to sea. "I called my kind to send him when Corona needed help…" she said, looking back to Yuki. "But also to protect you. I really do love you, you're a wonderful person, you make me laugh and can always lighten things up no matter what happens."

Yuki blinked, looking down then smiling as he turned his face back to her. "I love you too…I think green looks really good on you."

Nami chuckled. "See, that's what I'm talking about…I think we should tell the Neo Ultra Garrison, they're our friends too, and Kira let us know her secret, I should let them know mine."

Before Yuki could reply, the water suddenly exploded into a pair of geysers. Jake had transformed into a hulking blue monster, his head and back orange, mouth coming to a fierce beak in front of his blue eyes, a horn atop his head. His orange back armor was spiked and he had a stubby but stout tail. His hands were clubs with spikes on the bottom and his main blue body was composed of circular sections going down to his wider lower body. This was Vakishim.

Jake was a dark green reptilian monster with maple-leaf shaped hands, his chest and neck blood red. His head was alien-like with large eyes, his tooth filled mouth having two blood red fangs jutting out from the upper jaw. The Chouju Doragory.

The twin monsters roared as they suddenly stomped ashore, forcing Nami and Yuki to run for it.

Neo Ultra Garrison HQ, 12:15 pm;

The alarm sounded as the group mobilized, running into the control room to see the screen displaying Vakishim and Doragory rampaging in Tokyo. "Vakishim and Doragory, those must be the hybrids," said Garret, looking to the others.

"Alright, everyone, to the Hyper Phoenix," ordered Anne, they team running to the hanger.

Tokyo, 12:20 pm;

Yuki and Nami took cover behind and building. "They're hybrids, this isn't good, it'll take time for the others to get word and then get here, we're sitting ducks!" said Yuki, preparing his gun.

Nami looked out to sea and extended her hand, a yellow beam shooting out. A red submarine rising to the surface. Two Paradai Seijin emerged from the top, jumping high into the air and flipping towards each other. In a flash of light, King Paradai was formed in their place, roaring loudly.

Yuki blinked. "Oh yeah, forgot that you could do that."

King Paradai roared and charged the Chouju brothers, who returned in kind. King Paradai was first to attack by firing his horn beams, slamming into the two Chouju and forcing them back in a shower of sparks. He then twirled around, smacking Vakishim's legs with his tail and toppling the juggernaut to the ground. Doragory roared in fury and charged, grappling with King Paradai. As strong as King Paradai was, he began being overpowered by Doragory, so he snaked his tail around and wrapped it around Doragory's throat, pulling him backwards threw a building. King Paradai roared and drove fists into the Chouju's jaws, only to screech in pain as Vakishim blasted him in the back with flames from his hands, allowing Doragory to breath a torrent of flames into his face, toppling him backwards threw a building.

King Paradai rose to his feet before Doragory bashed him in the back and drove punishing blows into his back. He picked Paradai up and held him in place, allowing his twin to charge and ram into his chest repeatedly.

"King Paradai!" yelled Nami, concerned for her kin as King Paradai roared in pain from the assault. Yuki pulled out his pistol and fired repeatedly into Doragory's face, attracting his attention and allowing King Paradai to break free in time for Vakishim to slam into Doragory, toppling both backwards to the ground. "Thanks Yuki…"

Yuki nodded. "What are boyfriends for?"

King Paradai fell to a knee, panting in exhaustion and pain, looking up as the two furious Chouju rose to their feet. As they prepared to charge, a barrage of lasers slammed into them, sending up showers of sparks and explosions. The two recovered and glared in fury at their attackers, the Hyper Phoenix.

"Hey guys!" said Yuki. "You're late!"

Anne chuckled. "Well we did have to fly all the way here, what's going on?"

Yuki handed Nami his communicator. "It's me Nami, long story short, I'm a Paradai Seijin, two thieves tried to steal from me, I knocked them into the water and they turned into monsters, I called King Paradai to fend them off."

The crew was rather speechless. "We'll save explanations for later, now let's fry us two Chouju," said Eiji.

"Good idea," replied Anne. "Kira, King Paradai's hurt, you'd better get out their and help him."

Kira nodded, getting up and running to the door, jumping out as she pulled out the Ultra Pendent. "Corona!" She activated it and transformed into Corona, landing a dropkick in the face of one Vakishim, toppling the massive monster to the ground. She then turned to the charging Doragory, ducking his swipe and turning to Torrent mode, then catching his clubbing blows and getting into a test of strength, proving his equal in that respect.

As Vakishim tried to rise to his feet, he was pelted by lasers from the Hyper Phoenix, distracting him enough for King Paradai to strike him in the head with his tail repeatedly, dazing the Chouju enough for him to blast his right eye out with his horn beams, half blinding him. The enraged Chouju roared and tried to bash King Paradai in the head, who curled into a ball to dodge and rolled past him before unrolling and standing up. Vakishim roared and lowered his head, firing his horn off like a harpoon. King Paradai jumped to the side, the horn surging past him just as Corona turned Doragory into it's line of fire. Doragory roared in agony as the horn lodged itself in his rear in. He released Corona and jumped around, screeching in agony.

Vakishim roared in surprise, trying to apologize to his brother, not seeing King Paradai snake his tail around his ankle and pull Vakishim to the ground with a resounding smash.

"Let's finish Vakishim off," ordered Anne, pressing buttons and triggering the Hyper Phoenix's finishing move, the Phoenix Dash. The flaming craft dove at the rising Vakishim, startling him as they plowed through him. Vakishim roared in pain and fell to the ground, exploding on impact.

Doragory roared in fury at his brother's death, breathing a torrent of flames from his maul while firing an onslaught of organic missiles from his hands at them, only to be agilely dodged by the airborne craft. Corona took advantage and grabbed Doragory by the back shoulders, flipping him overhead and too the ground. Doragory moaned, slowly rising back to his feet, only to see Corona charging the Glacium Smasher, the solid stream of icy energy slamming into his chest, forcing even his mighty frame. He roared in agony as it ended, energy flashing over his form as he fell and exploded as well.

Corona nodded, turning to King Paradai. The two defenders, each of a different race, looked at one another before shaking each others hands. King Paradai roared his thanks and disappeared. "Shuwatch!" yelled Corona taking off.

The Neo Ultra Garrison, Kira included, stood in front of Nami and Yuki. "So you see, the Paradai sent me to be their ambassador, and I do consider you all my best friends, so when you needed help, I called King Paradai to come," she explained. "And now, I want you to come and have lunch with us."

Kira blinked. "Us? You and Yuki?"

"Not quite," said Nami, a Paradai submarine rising in the water behind her. "Ever eat lunch underwater?"
