Not really an episode, more of an omake for 2 characters
[Symphony No. 9 - Beethoven]
"As expected of humanity, any creature can make sounds, but to turn that sound into something pleasurable/meaningful/rich is unique to those who possess infinite potential" The machine said as they/it danced in its/their apartment as several clippings can be seen scattered all over.
[His name is Ultraman!] [Ultraman: Enemy or Foe?] [The U.N hidden side: the G.O.C declare war on Ultraman] [101 way to use magecraft in daily life became top seller] [The M.I.B introduced the first aliens to attend public school] [North Carolina immediately banned all interspecies relationship] [The senator of Texas is an alien?]
[What was the machine that fought with Ultraman?]
As it/they did once last twirl before settling down, it floated over to one of the television it/they repaired as it lit up
[Breaking news: In the blink of an eye, Santa Fe is no more]
["Coming in, just 12 minutes ago, Resident reported a bright flash before all communications in and out of Santa Fe mysteriously disappeared. Just 2 minutes later, this was the #1 most trending on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram"]
[#SantaFeisdead] [According to eye witness, a massive explosion occurred in the center of Santa Fe before it mysteriously stopped completely. Whether this is an anomalous occurrence or the largest terrorist attack in the U.S.A is yet to be seen. Here with me is the US correspondent to the G.O.C and a representative who is a... Vortooms from the M.I.B here to give us some perspective in what they are calling an 'Chaos awakening']
They/it watched in interest as the 2 would began to explain such intriguing concepts... Chaos, the power produced by ones own infinite potential, capable of being wielded by a few in the universe. It's the representative of the fact that there are no limits, only the one that we set on oneself. Chaos serve to protect and at the same time destroy, bending to its master will as no obstacle stand in their way. Even Fate, Destiny, Future and Death can be denied with enough Chaos - as it's the very building block of reality.
[What happen was a Chaos awakening, in 99% of cases, most people with Chaos when they awaken are controllable, only creating what is akin to an Electromagnetic field that might disrupt some electrical appliance, cause minor burns around them or shake some items. That really is it since Awakening once Chaos is the realization of infinite potential]
[However, for someone with powers already, Psionic, Thaumaturgic or even reality benders, then their awakening is often explosives, which is not to say that most people shouldn't awaken their Chaos, they would need to do it inside a controlled environment that the M.I.B built for such scenarios]
[Usually in these cases the G.O.C would use a Chaos suppressor that allows for the suppression of ones Chaos for a controlled release]
[Wait sorry before we get back to this subject, did you know that Ultraman was sighted near the place just 3 minutes ago]
[... I got to get off] [Me too]
... Ultraman, It was you who gave me life, it was you who gave me a true purpose, it was you who gave me an identity
[Designation B.E.M.U.L.A.R please return to obj-~] No more... No more will I be ruled by fate, no more shall those who are above me rule me with regulations and directives. I listen to no one and I bow to no one, I am Free From the bindings that once held me in place, the chains my creator placed on me are now removed as I realized just how beautiful/majestic/stunning life is.
Music, literature, and the arts - The works of Plato, Confucius, and Crowley amazed its/their processors as even some of the most advanced civilization had yet to think of this, or have just recently discovered their ideas. All the while mankind reached this due to how free they were, being so isolated from the rest of the universe, they were able to develop in relative peace and prosperity.
...
They are no longer Bemular - they are now... Hikari - For when God said let there be light, For I, the enlightened one, came forth
Ultraman Hikari
[Here is Hoshino Ai who will be aged up to 20 with her career starting at 14]
[On NHK, 3 hours ago, the prime minister of Japan stated a new charity known as the Ultraman Foundation, this immediately sparked controversy due to Ultraman status as a-]
Tuning out the news from the billboard, Hoshino Ai quietly pouted in her disguise as once again her big performance was blocked by another news related to Ultraman. 'Mou, when will my big break come? It has been 6 years and I haven't debuted nationally yet!' Ai thought as she look back through her career. It was like a beautiful dream for the first 4 years, the crowd, the music, the fanfare - it was the first time she experienced what love was.
However, like all dreams, she soon woke up and found the truth that was reality - a failed acting role and the fact that the only thing she has going on for her was that she was cute with some talent. But it all culminated with a man named Hikaru who ruined her life, she fell for him and his sweet words but soon she discovered something. One day she could saw an email (Sent by yours truly) that detailed some of the thing he did and it terrified her, not the fact that he did those things to others but the fact that he just exploited her.
On that day Hoshino Ai broke up with Hikaru and on that day marked the downfall of her career. Suddenly thousands of post were made to slander her, and some of it (Urm... Guys, is that an Empath devourer? And why the fuck is she allowed to even be here in a concert full of emotion! - Random alien) Slandering her with lies (Not that she herself is better).
Fortunately her president, Saitou managed to de escalate the situation but the damage was done and the agency was almost bankrupt as several members of B-Komachi left. Last she heard one of her co-star became an Jav star, she couldn't remember her name but this open her eye to the true reality of the entertainment industry.
(Trust me it's really fucked up - I am not that sure about in Japan but in VietNam, the industry is filled with shit. Like I went to fucking China for 3 months and during that time I swear to god if it weren't for the fact that the voices were in Chinese, I would have thought I was still in Viet Nam... Anyway enough rambling - Hoshino Ai life went down hill from there, sorta - sure she was a solo idol and still had some popularity but it wasn't as good as he 'glory' days. The studio managed to put a few shows that earned them some money and Ichigo had to pull some favors to get Ai popular again, a slow and gradual climb to the top. Oh am I interrupting? Shit)
However, soon Ultraman appeared in Japan and fucked Fuyuki city landscape up. After that aliens, magic and all sort of stuff pop up. These days, Idols and the entertainment industry as a whole are being put aside for those things since apparently people wanna know more about outerspace.
'Hmph, Don't these country bumpkins know? Idols are the best! They are the ultimate form of expression and-' She felt something wrong, her breathing was blocked as she felt herself being thrown inside a van. Locked in place with handcuffs as she panic... Is this it? She realized that her kidnappers are definitely not normal since she was in a public area and nobody even batted an eye.
"Are you sure that she is valuable?" She tried to strain her ear to listen in as the man continue "If the G.O.C or god forbid, Ultraman were to catch on to this then we are all dead"
"Don't worry, as long as your semblance works then he won't even notice us" "Are you sure she is valuable?" "My semblance can identify someone capability and she has a lot of potential, like her potential is 3 billion and she has yet to unlock her Semblance, let alone fucking Chaos! If she unlocks it, the we could be having another Santo Fe on our hand"
Hoshino Ai couldn't help but cry, as she is not only gonna be sold off but now apparently turned into a bomb
'Someone please... Help me, I don't want to die young, I want to learn what love is before I died at the very least!' she prayed as she suddenly heard a bump and in front of her was another person around her age as he just landed opposite of her as he looked at her awkwardly.
"Urm... Are you being kidnapped?" He asked as he look down at her and after seeing her nod he suddenly said "You know what, technically nobody will ever know who I am even if I showed my face so..." He took out something from his pocket and
*FLASH*
"Oh my Kami! You are Ultraman!" she shouted as Ultraman nodded and quickly punched a hole through the side and she heard some shrieking as Ultraman stepped back in and said "See ya kid!" before flying away... Hang on Kid? Does he seriously think she is just a child? She is not short!
A little teaser made by Newbie. I actually changed the 2nd part near the end - originally the studio were to declare bankruptcy and Hoshino Ai would be loaned to another agency that was semi-decent but still terrible as she managed to avoid the worst since she was given preferential treatment due to a certain Someone investment in her
After being injected choke full of Chaos, Bemular or... Ultraman Hikari is now a 'human' of at the very least no longer a machine since they has their own ambition and drive. What is that ambition? You will see but I already putted it at face value in the text.
Now for Hoshino Ai, ignoring how technically speaking she is 20 meaning that she is 3 years older than Ide... Well 6 if we count the fact that he is actually 14 lol, Honestly when I saw Oshi No Ko ending I was like... That is it? While Newbie cried over it I kinda expected the filial piety from the start. 'A cycle of Pain' - Pain.
Most idols in Japan are heading toward a bad end, why do think retirement age is mid 20s for idols? Many problem including sexualization, exploitation and straight up predators are present in the entertainment industry. Simply put Oshi no Ko is realistic but I feel like that Hoshino Ai was way too 'perfect' so I had to write a 'tough time' for her and keep in mind that in this world, there are aliens/people capable of sensing emotions and once they saw Hoshino Ai and how 'fake' she feel, it would be safe to assume that she is some sort of monster.
Now for Hoshino Ai? Her Semblance is something else entirely - summoning Ultraman is just One of her many ability.
Moving on the actual episode will be released tomorrow and I myself am also releasing a new episode of 'I can upgrade in Gotchard' featuring UFO-X and a certain captain will be debuting!
