There was a lot of trees in front of him. All he could see was many trees as he continued to walk on the ground in front of him. Eventually, the trees continued to decrease and in front of him was an upside-down stone spacecraft statue standing like an altar/idol.
For some reason, he felt like coming closer to it, as if it was calling out to him.
"This is..."
He then walked towards it and placed a hand on it. However, when he did, he felt a static shock coming towards him, making him scream in pain. He let go of the statue, and it started to light up in a blue light, making him cover himself from how bright it was.
Suddenly, he was starting to light up, and he was teleported into the stone spacecraft statue, much to his surprise. Eventually, he opened his eyes to see his surroundings. As he did, he noticed that there was nothing around him as he was in a black space with blue aurora lights floating around.
However, he was no longer alone.
Because in an instant, a silver giant appeared in front of him in a blue light. For a moment, he did not say anything as he was in awe of the silver giant itself.
"You are..."
The silver giant began to look at him.
"Who are you? Are you the one who called for me?"
The silver giant did not say anything as the world around both soon began to light up, making him cover his eyes.
Shirou woke up with a gasp, sweat slight coming down from his body as he was suddenly awakening from his sleep for no apparent reason. "What was that dream? First was that weird dream of me being in a high school version of Chaldea, and now this. Although this dream was different...just what was that silver giant?" He then got out of his bed. However, it was then he noticed a certain item was on his desk. "Hm? What's that?" he thought as he went over to look at it. As he did, he grabbed the object. The object itself was in a long, thin, diamond shape with another diamond shape in the middle. Around the shape were lines that made up details of the object itself. It was also colored mostly in white with some red, black, and blue.
In general, this was an object Shirou had not seen before.
"This object...I have never seen this before. And it's something I have not projected...just what is this?" he thought as he examined it. However, his examination of the object came to an abrupt halt when he heard a voice coming out from the other side of his door.
And that voice was Arturia's.
"Shirou? Are you awake?" Arturia asked.
"Hm? Ah, yeah, I'm awake," Shirou replied as he put the mysterious object down.
"Great. Anyways, can you hurry up? Everyone is waiting for you."
"Right. I'll be there." Shirou then got dressed as usual, picked up his sheathed katana, and headed towards the door. However, before he could exit his room, he took one last look at the mysterious object and for some reason he could not even explain, he took the object with him and placed it in one of his pockets. Soon, Shirou got out of his room. "Good morning Arturia."
"Good morning Shirou. Did you sleep well?" Artruia asked.
"Hm? Ah, well, you could say that I suppose..." Shirou replied.
Arturia let out a small sigh. "You did not stay up all night again, did you?" she asked with suspicion in her voice.
"No. I did have a weird dream though. Otherwise, I did get a full nine hours of sleep."
Arturia stared at Shirou for a moment before letting out another sigh. "Very well, but if you started to get dreams that can affect you in a negative way, tell me and my counterparts, okay? Or else..."
"Yes, yes, I got it. Anyways, let's go."
"Indeed."
Shirou and Arturia then began to walk away from Shirou's room and headed towards the cafeteria. As they were walking, Shirou had a few thoughts going on in his mind. "Arturia does have a point though. That dream was nothing I have ever seen or experienced before. Just what was that stone spacecraft statue? It looked like it was not made with human hands. And that silver giant...I didn't feel any hostility from him. Plus, what was that object that appeared in my room? Does it have something to do with that dream I just had?"
"Shirou, is there something wrong?" Arturia asked, snapping Shirou out of his thoughts.
"Hm? Ah, it's nothing," Shirou replied. "Let's hope nothing crazy happens today..."
Little did Shirou know that his thought would fail him in the nearby future...
Da Vinci was looking over Chaldea's control center as she was checking to see if any threat was going to come soon. "Hm, looks like something bad is not going to happen today..." she thought as she checked on the map at her control board. It was then she smelled coffee, and as so, she noticed that someone put a mug of coffee nearby where her workspace was.
"Need some coffee, Da Vinci?" a familiar voice asked.
Da Vinci smiled upon hearing that familiar voice and looked up to see Romani, who was holding his own cup of coffee as well. "Thanks Romani," she said as she grabbed her mug, drinking the coffee that was inside of it. "It's been a while since we've done something like this..."
"Yeah. Even since my sacrifice in the final singularity..." Romani replied as memories of that event appeared in his head before he cleared them out of his head. "Anyways, looks like nothing out of the ordinary seems to be happening."
"Seems so..." Da Vinci said as she sipped on her mug again.
The two were in complete silence as they were looking at the screen in front of them, along with everyone else working in the control room.
"Jeez, I'm bored already..." one staff member of Chaldea said.
"I wonder if my mom's doing okay..." another staff member said.
"Jeez, I want to finish my shift soon so I can get something to eat..." a third staff member said.
It was then Olga Marie came into the room, making everyone stop talking for a moment. As she was walking down the control room, nostalgia came into her mind as she looked at Romani, Da Vinci, and everyone else in the room working. "It's been a long time since I went into this room, and things has not changed..." she thought to herself before coming up to Romani and Da Vinci.
"Ah, hey there director," Romani said.
"Hey there Romani, Da Vinci. Anything happening right now?" Olga Marie asked.
"Not at the moment. Everything seems to be calm right now," Da Vinci replied.
"Good. However, keep on the lookout for anything suspicious. Who knows what will happen next, especially after what we received from Gudako..."
"Yes!"
And it was at that moment, Chaldea's alarm systems started to go off, surprising everyone. "And there it is! What we have been waiting for!" Da Vinci yelled as she checked her monitor.
Soon, everyone else began frantically checking their monitors to see what was happening on the screen. "What's going on, Da Vinci?!" Olga Marie yelled.
"Yes! Let me check the sensors for a moment!" Da Vinci replied as she began checking her monitor. As she did, she noticed something on her sensor, and it was moving at a fast pace. "Director, it seems like there's falling from space at a fast rate!"
"What is it?!"
"It's unknown! However, the satellite has picked up an image of our object!"
"Put it up on the screen!" Romani yelled.
Da Vinci then put the image on the screen. As she did, the screen showed an image of a large bug monster that resembled a roach, but with mutated arms. Everyone in the room was completely shocked upon seeing that monster before yelling in fear.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
"THAT'S BIG!"
"A GIANT BUG?!"
"EEK! I HATE BUGS!"
"EVERYONE BE QUIET FOR ONE DAMN MINUTE!" Olga Marie yelled, making everyone in the room shut up immediately. "All right, what the hell is that?!"
"I don't know! But we don't have time to look at it right now! Based on what I'm seeing right now, it's going to land around here in Antarctica!"
"Eh?! Right here?!" Romani yelled in shock.
"Yeah!"
"When will it land?!"
Da Vinci then checked her monitor and calculated the distance and time on the screen. "It'll land in five minutes!"
Everyone in the room was horrified that such a monster was going to land near Chaldea in a short amount of time. However, Olga Marie quickly snapped out of her shock and took control of the situation. "Alert everyone in Chaldea about the situation! Sound the alarms! Get all non-combat personnel to shelter! Tell all servants to be on standby just in case!"
"Y-Yes!" everyone exclaimed.
Soon, everyone in the room followed Olga Marie's order. As they did, Olga Marie looked at the image of the giant monster bug. "Is that the alien god Gudako was talking about?! But it's not December 31st yet! It's too early! Just what is going on here?! And why are they landing here of all places?!"
(Meanwhile...)
Shirou was cooking in the kitchen, preparing the daily meals for Arturia and her counterparts. As he was cooking, it was then he felt something different. "Hm? This sensation...what is this? Why do I have the weird feeling that something bad is going to happen soon?"
"ATTENTION STAFF OF CHALDEA! WE ARE GOING TO CONDITION RED! I REPEAT, CONDITION RED! ALL STAFF MEMBERS HEAD TOWARDS THE UNDERGROUND SHELTERS FOR SAFTEY! ALL SERVANTS OF CHALDEA, BE ON STANDBY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!"
And it was then he heard the alarms of Chaldea going off. "Damn it, I guessed it too soon..." He then dropped everything that he was doing earlier and bolted out of the cafeteria, heading towards the training room. While he was doing that, he saw various staff members heading towards one direction of Chaldea. "This much people heading towards one direction, which means they're heading towards the shelters...something big must have happened..."
"Shirou!"
Upon hearing his name being mentioned, Shirou turned around to see Ritsuka, who looked exhausted. "Master! I take it something bad happened?!" he asked.
"Yeah! Apparently from what I heard from the director, something completely unknown is falling from the sky right now!"
Shirou was stunned for a moment. "Something completely unknown is falling from the sky?" he repeated.
"Yeah! And in five minutes! So be prepared for what's going to happen soon!" Ritsuka said before he began to move.
Meanwhile, Shirou was processing Ritsuka's words. "Something completely unknown is falling from the sky...wait, does it have something to do with my dream? But what does that mean?"
(Back in Chaldea's control room...)
"Any update on that thing that's falling towards the ground right now?!" Olga Marie yelled.
"Yes! Its descent is increasing at a fast rate. It will land in a minute from now!" Da Vinci replied.
"Tch! How are the evacuations going?!"
"They're going well! All non-combatants have been safely evacuated into the underground shelters!" Romani replied.
"Good!" Olga Marie then turned to her monitor and checked out the visuals of the descending giant bug monster. "Here it comes!"
And at that moment, the entirety of the control room along with Chaldea itself felt a huge impact on the ground followed by a shockwave that made nearly everyone fall from how large it was. "Whoa! This shockwave is massive!" Da Vinci yelled.
"Everyone! Hold onto something!" Romani yelled.
Everyone in the control room held onto something as the ground below them was shaking. After a few seconds, the shaking stopped. "Da Vinci! Any damage to Chaldea?" Olga Marie yelled.
"Nope! Chaldea seems to be unharmed now! Although we might have a bigger issue now that thing has landed here!" Da Vinci replied.
"Great! Put the image on the monitor! And give me the location where it landed!"
Da Vinci then scanned the nearby area around Chaldea for a glimpse of the giant roach monster. "Found it!" she thought as she found it and showed it to everyone in the control room. "It landed about 500 meters away from here!"
"All right. Now all we need to do is-"
"Wait! It seems to be moving!" Romani yelled.
Everyone in the control room was shocked upon hearing Romani's words and looked at the giant monitor. As they did, they saw that the giant roach monster began to stand up from the crater if made, jumped out of it, and let out a horrifying screech.
And to their horror. It flew...and landed right in front of Chaldea.
However, it was not over as it began to lay eggs that instantly hatched, creating smaller versions of said giant roach monster.
And they were all heading towards Chaldea.
Nearly everyone in the control room went into despair upon seeing the monster land so close to Chaldea. "This is bad!" Olga Marie yelled.
"Obviously! We can't let this thing and its eggs go out in public, or else humanity will be endangered by this in the future! Prepare yourselves for a huge fight! Get all of Chaldea's servants out there!"
"Yes!"
And thus, Chaldea sent out their servants for a roach extermination...
"Jeez! To think I would be fighting a giant bug that came from space and its minions, isn't that a joke or what?!" Lancer Cu yelled as he tried to stab the leg of one of the Roach monster's minions.
"Quit your yammering and start killing them. The longer you chat, the more they keep spawning," EMIYA replied as he shot a bug minion with his bow.
"That's easier for you to say! They just keep coming!" Lancer Cu yelled with a groan as he stabbed another roach minion. "Speaking of which, I wonder how the others are doing..."
"They're just in the same position as we're in; and that is endless bug extermination..."
It was then a bunch of swords started to fall from the sky. Both EMIYA and Lancer Cu immediately knew what that meant and dodged them. As they did, they looked up to see Archer Gilgamesh, who seemed to be flying with Vimana. "Hey! What were you're aiming, King of Heroes!" Lancer Cu yelled.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You mongrels can't order me around! All you can do is just stay on the ground like the bugs that you are, with the monster bugs themselves! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Archer Gilgamesh replied as he flew towards another direction.
"Jeez, he's still as arrogant as ever," Lancer Cu muttered.
"That's one thing we'll agree on," EMIYA replied as he shot another monster roach minion. "Although I have a feeling that he's still mad about what happened to him during that match, so he's probably letting out steam..."
"By the way, where is your younger self? We could use his help right now!" Lancer Cu yelled.
"Yeah, about that..."
In an instant, Lancer Cu's question was answered immediately...in the form of Shirou flying past him at high speeds using the 00 Raiser mystic code, slashing down any roach minion he saw.
"Does that answer your question?"
Lancer Cu was speechless for a moment before saying his answer. "Yes."
"Jeez, I never thought I would be involved in something like this today of all days!" Ritsuka thought as he shot a gandr at a roach minion that was coming towards him. "This feels like the seventh singularity all over again!"
At that moment, a roach minion came at Ritsuka by surprise, but failed as it was bashed by Mashu's shield, protecting him. "Senpai! Are you alright?!" Mashu asked.
"Yeah! Thanks for the assist, Mashu!" Ritsuka replied as he shot another gandlr. "Speaking of which, how's Gudako?!"
"I'm right here!" Gudako yelled as she kicked a roach minion before shooting a gandr at another roach minion. "Just what is going on here?! It's not even December 31st, and yet something fell out of space already! At least it's not the alien god, but what the hell is that?! A roach kaiju?! Great, if that's the case, then what's next, Ultraman?!"
"Say...did you have to deal with something like this in your timeline?" Ritsuka asked.
"Not outside of the singularities at least!" Gudako replied as she shot another gandr. "And honestly, this is the first time I ever saw something like this!"
"Senpai! Gudako-san! There's more coming!" Mashu yelled.
Both Ritsuka and Gudako then turned to where Mashu is to see another hoard of roach minions. "Guess the talking will have to wait until later!"
"Yeah!"
As Arturia cut down a roach minion, another one just took its place. "This situation is just like the one in the Fourth Fuyuki Grail War..." she thought to herself as she used Excalibur to defend herself from a roach monster. She then pushed the roach monster back and sliced it down. As she did, she saw a glimpse of Shirou, who was wearing the 00 Raiser mystic code. "Shirou..."
"Hey, get a hold of yourself," Arturia Alter interrupted as she slashed down a roach minion with no mercy.
Arturia quickly got out of her thoughts and continued the fight. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something."
Arturia Alter let out a sigh. "Relax, Shirou will be fine. Those damn roaches can't do anything to him if he's in the air. Speaking of which, you might want to look over there," she said as she pointed at a location.
Arturia looked at the direction her altered counterpart was pointing at and to her surprise, Morgan who had a face of fear and anger as she was burning down multiple roach minions with her spear-staff.
And she was out of character as well.
"DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE! YOU DAMN BUGS!"
Arturia was surprised to see this side of her supposed sister. "Wow."
"Yeah," Arturia Alter said.
Meanwhile Shirou was slashing down any roach that appeared in front of him with the 00 Raiser mystic code. As he did, it was then he noticed something different from the others on the battlefield. "Something's up here. I hope it's my imagination, but I think most of these monsters are focused on me, but why though? Not only that, but the feeling from earlier is getting stronger by the second. Why?"
However, Shirou did not have any more time to think as another hoard of roach minions came towards him. "For now, I'll focus on the enemies in front of me!"
And Shirou rushed towards the hoard of roaches.
Back at Chaldea's control center, Olga Marie, Romani, and Da Vinci were watching the process of roach extermination. So far, they were making good progress as almost all the roach minions were being deleted on the monitor. "All right, everything seems good for now," Da Vinci said.
"Not yet. We still have the giant roach from outer space to deal with, remember? Romani, check its vital signs to see if there's something going on in it!" Olga Marie said.
"Y-Yes!" Romani then checked his monitor screen to see if there was something going on with the giant roach monster's vital signs. "There seems to nothing changing with the giant roach's vital signs director!"
"Good!" Olga Marie said before she went towards the speaker. "Ritsuka! Do you hear me!"
"Yes!" Ritsuka replied.
"Good! When you and the other servants are done with these hoards of roaches, head towards the big one and destroy it! Understand?!"
"Yes!"
"Good! Gudako, is that the alien god you mentioned earlier?!"
"No! This is not what I mentioned earlier! So, rest assured, we're not dealing with the alien god right now!"
Olga Marie let out a sigh, but she still was not relaxed yet. "Anyways, your orders are the same as your counterpart! Destroy that giant roach!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Olga Marie cut the transmission between the two and looked at the monitor in front of her. "If that's not the alien god, then what the hell is that then?"
"Director! There's a change in the giant roach's movement right now!" Romani yelled.
"Really?! What is it doing?!"
"It...it's flying towards Emiya Shirou!"
Everyone's eyes widen upon hearing Romani's words. "WHAT?! EMIYA SHIROU?!"
"Well, looks like I'm almost done here..." Shirou thought as he slashed down another roach minion with his GN Sword III. "All that is left is to take out the giant roach and all ends well." At that moment, the 00 Raiser mystic code shut itself down, reverting Shirou back to normal. "Well, this was bound to happen eventually...well, time to head back to where master is."
However, before Shirou could return to Ritsuka, it was then he saw the giant roach coming towards him and proceeded to attack him. However, Shirou was able to dodge it just in the nick of time. "What? The monster is going for me?" he thought as hemoved back from dodging the monster's attack, which the monster began to swing at Shirou again. However, unlike before, Shirou cut a portion of the monster's arm off, making it squeal in pain.
But the pain was short-lived as the monster continued to come towards him.
"Tch. Looks like I have a big one on my hands!"
The giant roach monster continued to attack him endlessly, forcing him to dodge at every swing from its arms. "Tch, I'm getting nowhere from doing this, and the 00 Raiser mystic code is out of power right now...maybe a change in tactics might do it. Well, here goes nothing!" Shirou then sheathed his Muramasa blade and jumped when the roach monster swinged one of his arms at him again. As he did, he projected a bow along with Caldabolg and propped it on his bow. "My core is twisted in madness, Caldabolg!"
Shirou then released the sword from the string and shot it at the roach's chest, exploding upon impact and making the roach monster fall backwards.
"Did that work?" Shirou thought as he landed back on the ground.
However, to Shirou's disappointment, it just injured it, and it became madder than before.
"Well, that did not work, but what can I do here?"
However, as Shirou was thinking about his options, it was then he noticed that his pocket was lighting up on the inside. He then opened it up to see the object he found earlier, which was glowing and flashing lights.
And for some unknown reason he could not even explain, Shirou knew what to do with the object in his hand.
"This light...are you telling me to use it?"
The object continued to blink.
"I understand."
Shirou then raised the object in his hands and proceeded to pull out one half of it. As he did, he then extended it into the air and it lit up.
And a red bright light soon engulfed him. Along with it came the reawakening of a certain silver giant...
(Meanwhile...)
"What?! Are you serious director?!" Ritsuka yelled in his earbud.
"Yeah! For some reason, the giant roach seemed to be focused on attacking Emiya Shirou right now, and we have no clue why! Anyways, tell everyone else the news and support him as soon as you can!" Olga Marie ordered.
"Yes!" Ritsuka replied before cutting the link off.
"Did you receive new orders from the director, senpai?" Mashu asked.
"Yeah! We're going to support Shirou, because the giant roach monster seems to be attacking him only!" Ritsuka replied.
Both Mashu and Gudako were shocked upon hearing Ritsuka's words. "Are you serious?!" they exclaimed in unison.
"Yes!"
Mashu and Gudako were stunned for a moment. "I don't get it! Why is that monster focused on getting Shirou-san?!" Mashu asked.
"I don't know! Anyways, we need to get over there quickly!"
However, at that moment, all three of them noticed that a bright light appeared in the distance. The light was so intense that everyone in the vicinity of the battlefield covered their eyes. After the light disappeared, everyone was shocked at what they were seeing in the distance, especially Ritsuka and Gudako.
Because in the distance was a certain silver giant which looked nearly like a human, and it was one that both Ritsuka and Gudako knew immediately.
Especially since they recognized the face and red V-shaped detail on the chest from their childhoods.
"U-U-U-U-U-ULTRAMAN NEXUS?!"
"A silver giant?! Right over there where the giant roach is?!" Mashu said.
Soon, Ultraman Nexus began to have a fight against the massive roach monster while everyone else just watched in the distance. For a moment, both Ritsuka and Gudako were completely speechless until Mashu snapped the two out of their mind break. "Senpai! Gudako-san! Are both of you alright?!"
"Y-Yeah! I was just in shock..." Ritsuka replied.
"M-Me too..." Gudako replied as well.
However, they had one thought in mind upon seeing Ultraman Nexus in front of their eyes.
"WHAT THE HELL?! ULTRAMAN NEXUS ACTUALLY EXISTS?! AS IN A REAL THING?! RIGHT NOW?!"
"I-I see. A-Anyways, do we ask the director to take down the silver giant over there?"
To Mashu's surprise, both Ritsuka and Gudako turned to Mashu and replied, "No! We're not attacking the silver giant over there!"
"E-Eh? Are you sure senpai? Gudako-san?"
"Yeah. Let me talk to the director for a moment." Ritsuka then activated his ear bud again. "Director! Come in, director!"
Back at Chaldea's control center, everyone was in shock upon seeing Ultraman Nexus's appearance. "What the hell is that silver giant?! First was the giant roach monster from outer space, now a silver giant appeared out of nowhere! Just what is going on here?!" Olga Marie thought before she quickly regained her composure. "Romani! Tell me where the silver giant appeared!"
Romani then checked the radar screen to see the coordinates of the appearance of Ultraman Nexus. "The location...it's at where Emiya Shirou used to be!"
"Huh?! Used to be?! What do you mean by that?!"
"Well...Emiya Shirou disappeared all of a sudden!"
Everyone was shocked again before hearing Ritsuka's voice from the commlink, snapping them out of her shock. "Director! Come in, director!"
Regaining her composure, Olga Marie answered the commlink. "Y-Yeah! And in case if you were wondering, yes! I'm seeing a silver giant out of nowhere! Right where Emiya Shirou disappeared!"
Mashu was surprised for a moment while both Ritsuka and Gudako knew what that meant. "Eh?! Shirou-san disappeared where the silver giant is?!" Mashu asked.
"Yeah!"
"I see..." Ritsuka said before he went silent for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, he continued the conversation. "Director, I'm sorry for saying this to you, but please do not attack the silver giant over there!" Ritsuka requested.
Olga Marie, Romani, and Da Vinci were stunned by Ritsuka's request. "Why?!" Romani asked.
There was a moment of silence at Ritsuka's end of the conversation before he continued it. "...It's because I know who and what that silver giant is."
Everyone was alarmed by Ritsuka's words. "WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Olga Marie, Romani, and Da Vinci yelled in unison.
"Yeah! The same goes for me as well! Please director! Don't attack it! I'll answer any question you have about it later! And about Shirou's disappearance, don't worry! He'll return soon. I promise!" Gudako replied on her earbud as well.
For a moment, everyone in the control room was surprised that both Ritsuka and Gudako knew who the silver giant was. After thinking about both Ritsuka's and Gudako's words, Olga Marie came to a conclusion. "Very well. However, if things don't go your way, we'll attack the silver giant, understand?"
"Yes!"
"Good. Now relay your order to your servants now!" she ordered before Ritsuka cut off the commlink between him and her. As she did, she let out a small sigh. "Wow, I never thought that Ritsuka would have the guts to ask me for a request like that...he really has changed..."
"Yes. Although he mentioned that he and Gudako know that silver giant, but how? We haven't come across any silver giants that look like that in the past. Just how does those two know it already?" Da Vinci asked.
"Me neither. Furthermore, he appeared at the same time Emiya Shirou disappeared...is that a coincidence?" Romani asked.
"That I do not know..." Olga Marie said.
(Back at the battlefield...)
"Alright, now that I got the approval from the director herself, time to give orders to the other servants!" he thought before he telepathically gave his orders to the other servants out on the battlefield. "Everyone, can you hear me?"
"Yeah, and honestly, I'm surprised to see a silver giant here of all places! So, what do we do, destroy it?" Lancer Cu telepathically asked.
"No, we're going to support it."
"Huh? Support it? Are you sure it's an ally master?" EMIYA telepathically asked.
"Yes, and in case if you were wondering how I know, let's just say...well, it's something I would never expect to see in real life..."
"I see..."
"Hah! You mongrels do your thing! I'll do my own!" Archer Gilgamesh telepathically said.
"Wait! What about Shirou! I can't feel his presence!" Arturia telepathically yelled.
"Yes, about that...he'll return within a few minutes after the battle..." Ritsuka telepathically replied.
"What is that supposed to mean, my master?" Arturia Alter telepathically asked.
"You'll see..."
It was then Ritsuka, Gudako, and Mashu heard something crashing onto the ground, forcing their attention to the source of the noise. As they did, they saw the fight between Ultraman Nexus and the giant roach monster. The roach monster began its attack on Ultraman Nexus, which he dodged the attack before kicking it in the stomach. However, the roach monster retaliated by ramming itself towards him, forcing Ultraman Nexus to fall back. Gaining momentum, the roach monster tried to attack again, but Ultraman Nexus quickly rolled over sideways and quickly charged his arms with light before shooting them at the roach monster. As a result, the roach monster was hit in the chest, letting out screams of pain.
At that moment, Ultraman Nexus bended his left arm towards his chest and brought it out again, assumed an alternate form at the same time.
The Junis form, which looked similar to his previous form, but features more red with a different design, new shoulder pads, and included a crystal in the middle of the chest.
"It's just like in the T.V..." both Ritsuka and Gudako thought as they saw Ultraman Nexus went into his Junis form.
However, he was not done as he crossed his arms together and twisted his waist while swinging his arms at the same time. While he was doing that, energy appeared in one of his hands in the form of a blue light before he released it into the sky. As he did that, a golden dome began to form from the sky and began to engulf both Ultraman Nexus and the roach monster.
And then the dome disappeared, along with them as well.
"T-They disappeared! What just happened senpai?!" Mashu said in shock.
"He...just summoned the meta field..." Ritsuka replied.
"Meta field? What is that?"
"A dimensional subspace that empowers light beings while reducing the power of darkness. Its main use is to avoid collateral damage during battles, but frequent usage of it can induce a huge strain to the user."
Mashu was shocked to hear Ritsuka's words. "Wow senpai, you know what that is as well?"
"Yeah..."
(Meanwhile in the Meta field...)
Ultraman Nexus dodged a swing from one of the monster roach's damaged arms before he punched it in the face. He then rushed towards it and pushed it backwards with all of his strength and roundhouse kicked it. He then brought it to a headlock and punched its head again for a few times before letting go and jumped over it. The roach monster then swung his arms at Ultraman Nexus, but he blocked it and went under them. Ultraman Nexus went for his backside again and karate chopped it a few times before being forced to move backwards by a hit in the stomach from a headbutt from the monster roach. Ultraman Nexus went for him again.
However, it was then the roach began to spew out acid in front of his face, temporarily blinding him. The roach then headbutted him again and started to land a few good hits on him. However, he had enough of it and kicked the monster roach off of him, giving him some distance between the two. He went towards the roach monster again, grabbing it by the arms. However, it was then the roach monster used its antennae to stab Ultraman Nexus on the shoulders, causing him pain. Afterwards, the roach monster headbutted him a few times while still holding onto him with the antennae.
It was then he had enough and with enough strength, cut off both of its arms, making it squeal with pain. He then roundhouse kicked it in the face with enough force to make it fly across the field. He then gathered up energy and created a tornado that went for the roach itself. The energy tornado did not destroy the roach monster, but it buried it halfway to the ground, rendering it unable to move.
He then crossed his arms together while gathering energy in the form of blue particles. Shortly after that, he uncrossed his arms and stretched them out in a y-shape before bringing them together again in a L-shape, shooting a blue beam of energy at the roach monster, destroying it in the process until nothing remained.
After the fight was over, the crystal on Ultraman Nexus's chest began to light up, and he along with the sub field he created, started to disappear.
However, as they were disappearing, a certain event was taking place...
(In unknown space...)
Shirou opened his eyes to see himself in the same space as the one he saw himself in the dream he had this morning. "This space...I'm back here..." he thought to himself. As he looked around the space around him, it was then he saw Ultraman Nexus. "Who are you?"
"My name is Ultraman Nexus. I came from a universe far away from the one you're in right now. Sorry for using your body earlier, but I had no choice since I was weakened upon my arrival."
"No problem. Did you come here because of the monster we saw earlier?"
"Yes. However, in my universe, I call that a space beast."
"Space beast?"
"Yes. Space beasts are monsters whose sole purpose is to feed on the fears of other life forms, like the one we fought earlier."
"I see. Does that mean you come here to because of that space beast from earlier?"
"Yes. I was chasing that space beast earlier, which somehow managed to enter in your universe. Now that the space beast is gone, my mission is complete and I'll be leaving this universe."
Shirou nodded in agreement before realizing that there was one more question that bothered him. "Wait, before you go, there's one more question I want to ask you. Why did you choose me as your host? Surely there were others beside me in this universe..."
"Well, it's quite simple. You see, you possess the light along with the bonds of others, like the ones before you..."
"Like the ones before me?"
"Yes. Throughout many universes, many people wanted to protect the ones they love. As such, I answer the call and help them, and you seemed to be the best choice considering what your life is..."
"I see...thanks for the help, Ultraman Nexus."
"No problem."
And the space around them began to disappear with those words.
(Back on the battlefield...)
The next he knew, Shirou woke up at the same area he in earlier. As he did, he noticed that the object he was holding in his hand earlier was gone. "The object...it's gone..." he thought before looking at the sky. "Ultraman Nexus...thank you."
It was then he heard Ritsuka's voice going through his head. "Shirou!" Ritsuka telepathically talked to him.
"Master, you may not believe this, but-"
"I know. You were the host for Ultraman Nexus, or if I were to be specific, the seventh dunamist."
Shirou was shocked upon hearing Ritsuka's words. "You know that silver giant master?"
"Yeah, and honestly, I did not expect to see him of all places! Heck, I did not even know that he actually exists in real life! I'm the one that is shocked the most! Anyways, come back to where I am! Arturia and her alter have been worried about you! And speaking of which, the director wants to have a word with you, me, and Gudako as well!"
"Y-Yeah..."
Meanwhile, at Chaldea's control center, everyone was shocked to see the transpiring events that just happened in front of their eyes. "Okay, so let me recap this. We first saw a monster roach appear from outer space, then silver giant who Ritsuka and Gudako already knew somehow along with Shirou's disappearance at the same time, then both the silver giant and monster roach disappear at the same time when a golden dome of energy was made by the giant while at the same time, Shirou returned...okay, am I going crazy?" Da Vinci asked.
"No, you're not going crazy Da Vinci..." Romani said.
"Yeah. And now that Shirou's back...we have a lot of questions to ask of him, along with the others as well..." Olga Marie said.
(A few hours later...)
Shirou let out a small sigh as he, Ritsuka, and Gudako were in Chaldea's interrogation room, and in front of them were Olga Marie, Romani, and Da Vinci. "Okay, I know we've already been through this already, so let's get to the point. What the hell just happened over there?" Olga Marie asked.
Shirou let out a small sigh. "Okay, Olga Marie, this is what happened. However, in order to make things a lot more sense, let me tell you something about what happened to me this morning, and don't worry, it's connected to what just happened today."
Olga Marie was silent for a moment. "Go on."
"Okay. It all started this morning when I had a dream about going through a forest before seeing an upside-down stone spacecraft statue standing. In that dream, I touched the stone spacecraft before being sent into an alternate plane of space, where I saw the silver giant."
"I see. Just what was the name of the silver giant?" Romani asked.
"It's-"
"Ultraman Nexus!" Ritsuka and Gudako said in unison.
Shirou, Romani, Da Vinci, and Olga Marie were surprised upon hearing Ritsuka's and Gudako's words. "Y-Yeah, the silver giant's name is Ultraman Nexus..." Shirou said with a little shock in his voice. "Anyways, we just looked at each other and the dream ended. However, when I woke up this morning, there was an object that suddenly appeared on my desk."
"That object...did it look like a long, thin, diamond shape with another diamond shape in the middle? And around it is details and was also colored mostly in white with some red, black, and blue?" Gudako asked.
"Y-Yeah."
"Did the object lit up a few times before? Or did you feel anything different afterwards?" Gudako asked.
"Y-Yeah..."
For a moment, Olga Marie watching Ritsuka and Gudako asking Shirou so many questions related to the event, specifically about Ultraman Nexus. "What the hell? It feels like both Ritsuka and Gudako are the ones interrogating him instead of me...this must be a dream. Plus, how do they know so much about it?" Soon, Olga Marie cleared her throat, grabbing Ritsuka's and Gudako's attention. "Okay, you two, I was interrogating Shirou."
Both Ritsuka and Gudako blushed for a moment. "S-Sorry director," they said in unison.
Olga Marie let out a small sigh before continuing. "Anyways, you said you felt different when you obtained that object. How though?"
"Well, originally, I didn't feel any different from before in the morning. However, when the space beast attacked, I started to feel different."
"How?" Da Vinci asked.
"Well, it felt like I was able to sense the darkness of a space beast."
"Space beast? You mean the giant roach from other space?" Romani asked in question.
"Yes. That's what Ultraman Nexus called it. Apparently, it originally came from his universe and he followed it all the way here. What happened afterwards is...well...I became the host for Ultraman Nexus using the object that appeared at my desk."
"By the way Shirou, the item that you found at your desk is the Evoltruster, which is the transformation device, although it can be used for more than just transformations," Gudako said.
"Really? Do you still have the object in question? I want to see how that happens!" Da Vinci said with interest in her voice.
"No. When he left, the object was gone as well."
"I see..." Olga Marie said with some disappointment in her voice, but quickly shrugged it off. "Well, at least we managed to clear up a few things. However, just one more question for you Shirou. Why did Ultraman Nexus chose you as its host, even though it was for a short time only?"
"Well...he said that I possess the light along with the bonds of others, like the others before me."
Ritsuka and Gudako chuckled at line while Romani, Da Vinci, and Olga Marie were confused. "What does that mean?" Romani asked.
"To sum it up, he chose me because of my desire to protect the ones close to me."
"Ah, that makes sense...wait, others before me?"
"Yes. He said that others before me called upon him as well."
Olga Marie let out a sigh. "Jeez, to think there were others before you that became that silver giant...well, I think you answered your part of the interrogation Shirou. Now then...Ritsuka, Gudako, I have one huge question to ask both of you. Just how you two know about all of this?"
Both Ritsuka and Gudako looked at each other for a moment and gulped before turning back to Olga Marie.
"It's because...all of that is based from a fictional kids t.v show we used to watch...with the same name. In fact, the silver giant is the same from the show as well..." they said in unison.
Shirou, Romani, Olga Marie, and Da Vinci's eyes nearly popped out from their sockets. "HHHHHHUUUUUHHHHH?!"
Author's note: Okay, I think I seriously broke a boundary here writing this chapter. First was gundam, then Kamen Rider, and now Ultraman. What am I doing...wait, I forgot, I'm already crazy. Anyways, I do not own Ultraman Nexus, Tsuburaya Productions does. By the way, the roach monster is based off an unused space beast design from the Ultraman Nexus series.
