Ryunai's Dream
Ryunai see himself at a barren wasteland. As he walk further, he saw Natasha and the rest of the old Squad 13.
Ryunai: Natasha? Guys?
Natasha: You... you did this to us.
Ryunai: No, I...
Yuto: You let us die. Why can't you save us?
Ryunai: I...
Hinata: You ruin us, Ryunai!
Ryunai: I know. But...
Old Squad 13: It's your fault, Ryunai! Your fault! YOUR FAULT!
Ryunai felt nothing but guilt.
Natasha: Now... you shall die.
Then, Klaxo-Zetton appears behind them. The beast then shoots out it's energy bullet towards Ryunai.
End of the Dream
Ryunai woke up with a shocking expression. He then gets up from the bed.
Ryunai: T-That was terrible. Was that really my teammates? I guess they were really disappointing me. Damn it! Why can't I save them?! I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
Tears runs down on his cheeks as he covers his face with his hands. Ryunai then went to the bathroom to wash his face.
Meanwhile...
During breakfast, everyone was quiet the whole time. Mostly because they were exhausted from yesterday's battle.
Goro: Looks like we had learn our lesson from yesterday's battle.
Zorome: You didn't last 10 seconds.
Goro: Well, you didn't even last 4 seconds.
Kokoro: Stop fighting! It'll affect your numbers if you do.
Ikuno: She's right. Either way, our first mission starts today.
Miku: We'll show Papa what we're made of!
Hiro: Well, let's just hope we can succeed it.
Zero Two: As long as we're together, anything is possible.
Ichigo: You're right.
Futoshi: Why don't we celebrate after our first mission succeed.
Mitsuru: Good idea.
Later...
Goro: Where's Hiro?
Ichigo: He went to the woods following Ryunai.
Ryunai sits in front of the lake, watching it. Then, Hiro approaches.
Hiro: Ryunai?
Ryunai: Oh, Hiro. What brings you here?
Hiro: Just curious on what you're doing here.
Ryunai: Oh nothing, I just wanna watch the lake.
Hiro: Is there something you wanna talk about?
Ryunai: Nothing, just that...
Hiro: Come on, Ryunai. I know there's something wrong here.
Ryunai: Alright, I'll explain. I had this dream about...
Hiro: About what?
Ryunai: It's about...
Goro: Hey guys! Nana and Hachi wanted to see us!
Ryunai: What it is?
Nana: We got orders from the HQ.
Futoshi: We're gonna fight already!?
Nana: Yes.
Zorome: Alright!
Nana: But, don't get your hopes high up.
Nana then shows a klaxosaur profile on the screen.
Hachi: You'll be fighting a Moho-class klaxosaur called-
Ryunai: Klaxo-Jappa.
Squad 13: What?
Ichigo: Klaxo-Jappa?
Ryunai: Klaxo-Jappa, The King-Klaxo Beast of the Water. This guy has a foul smell. Not only that, he can summon some Mini-Jappas which are smaller than a FranXX.
Ichigo: So you're saying like, this thing can summon and army?
Ryunai: Yes.
Kokoro: Oh my...
Ryunai: But these guys can be avoid. As long as they don't jump on and slash your head.
Hachi: Alright then. Now that we know about the klaxosaur, klaxosaurs are attracted to magma-energy reactions and appear in their vicinity. Lately, they've been showing up deep in a level 8 mine on the outskirts and wreaking havoc. Even the automatic bulwark systems can't keep up with them.
Ryunai: Then, Strelizia will stand as a backup. If you can't eliminate this klaxosaur, you won't able to handle any in the future. So, focus on they asked at hand. Ichigo and Goro will have the field command. That's all. All hands, prepare to board.
Meanwhile, Delphinium, Chlorophytum, Genista and Argentea arrive at the mine.
Kokoro: That's a big hole. How far does it go down?
Zorome: This is nuts. It's a monster pipe.
Goro: They used these to extract the magma reserves, huh?
Hachi: Head down to Level 8. As you're aware already, in order to completely neutralize a klaxosaur, you must extract its core, which is essentially its heart, and shatter it using your customized magma-energy weapons.
Ryunai: Shatter the core and finish off the klaxosaur without fail. Got that?
Squad 13: Roger!
They then went to the tunnel.
Ichigo: Heading to objective.
Ikuno: Follow behind Delphinium, both of you.
Kokoro: Understood!
Ikuno: Miku?
Miku: Understood!
Back in the control room...
Nana: So, Ryunai.
Ryunai: What is it, Nana?
Nana: Back in the time we were having breakfast, why were you quiet? Usually, you used to be talkative as always. Why is that?
Ryunai: Oh, it's nothing. Just that...
Ichigo: We have visual on klaxosaur. FranXX spreading out. In position. Commencing operation.
Ryunai: It's a Mini-Jappa. Stay alert, all of you.
Squad 13: Understood!
Ichigo: Let's do this as planned.
Delphinium charges at the klaxosaur, pierces it with her spears, causing it to bounce across the room. Genista then skewers it on her cannon's bayonet and holds it towards Argentea.
Zorome: Gotcha!
Argentea jumps at the klaxosaur and sinks her claws into it.
Futoshi: Way to go, Zorome!
Hiro: They did it!
Zero Two: Not yet.
Zorome: See? That's what I'm capable of!
Argentea strikes a pose while the klaxosaur is still writhing in pain on the ground.
Miku: Hey, cut it out. You're embarrassing me.
Ryunai: Stop playing around and destroy the core!
Zorome: I-I know, I know. For a klaxosaur, this thing wasn't a big deal.
Then, the klaxosaur jumps onto Argentea's face and starts attacking her until she collapses, her display then goes dark.
Zorome: Miku!
Mitsuru: Damn you!
Genista fires a shot at the klaxosaur, making it bounces towards to Delphinium. Delphinium immediately shatters the core with her spears.
Zorome: Miku, are you okay? Miku!
Ichigo: You okay, Miku?
Then, another klaxosaur drops down fro. the ceiling.
Goro: There was another one?
Kokoro: Wait, what's that smell?
They then look up revealing the beast was on the ceiling all along. The beast then drops onto the ground.
Goro: So, that's Klaxo-Jappa?
Futoshi: It looks a bit dumb thought.
Ryunai: Damn it. Hiro, Zero Two, you two will go help those guys, now.
Hiro and Zero Two: Understood!
They went to Strelizia and tries to start it up. But, the system went down for some reason.
Hiro: We can't start up Strelizia. Something's wrong!
Ryunai: Damn it! Nana, keep an eye on them.
Nana: Wait, where are you going?
Ryunai: I'm going to take care of something. Just keep an eye on them!
Ryunai then went to the closet and pulls out the Orb Ring.
Ryunai: Jack-san!
Orb Ring: Ultraman Jack!
Ryunai: Zero-san!
Orb Ring: Ultraman Zero!
Ryunai: Give me something with an edge!
Orb Ring: Fusion Up! Ultraman Orb Hurricane Slash!
Orb Hurricane Slash then rises up.
Futoshi: What we're gonna do?
Ichigo: This is probably the first time I failed my team on our first mission. What am I gonna do?
Orb then appears from above and lands on the ground.
Orb: I cut down darkness faster than the speed of light!
Ichigo: Orb!
Orb: You guys okay?
Ikuno: Yeah, except for Argentea.
Orb: Bring her out of here. I'll take care of Klaxo-Jappa.
Ichigo: Understood! C'mon guys, let's get out of here.
Delphinium and the other FranXX retreated.
Orb: Now, I'll be taking care of you guys.
Orb charges at the beast and shoots out the Orb Sluggers towards it. The Mini-Jappas begins trying to attack Orb but he used his acceleration speed to dodge all of them. Orb summons the Orb Slugger Lance and destroys all of the Mini-Jappas by slashing all of them. The beast then shoots out the Klaxo-Water Flow from the tip of its nose. Orb manages to dodge it and tries to attack it back but the beast used its invisibility.
Orb: What the?! Where is it?
The beast then appears behind Orb. Orb looks back and then the beast releases the Klaxo-Odor from its mouth which has a foul smell to it, causing the Ultra to deter.
Orb: It smells!
The beast then uses its invisibility to move to another area. Orb decides to use the Orb Hurricane Slash Shockwave in order to get the beast to reveal itself by shaking the ground. The beast then appears the left side of him.
Orb: There you are!
After pulling the Gear Lever twice, Orb stab the beast's chest with the Orb Slugger Lance. He then charges towards the klaxosaur, causing an explosion.
Ichigo: He did it!
Futoshi: Alright!
Goro: Way to go, Orb!
Orb: Thanks.
Later...
Miku wakes up.
Miku: What? What happened?
Zorome: Miku!
Miku: What the?! Hey, Zorome. What's wrong?!
Ryunai: He thought you're dead.
Miku: What?! I never died! I was just knocked out.
Zorome: Oh, sorry.
Miku: Learn your lesson next time, stupid!
Zorome: I know, I know.
Ryunai: Hmph. Looks like their gonna have new experience later.
