Chapter 7

Trial of Trust

Two days passed since the incident with Inperializer appearing, now more then ever the objective of monitoring the earth's orbit and what nears it was increased tenfold.

People have been questioning themselves, where it did it come from? For what reason? Were they gonna get invaded? Was it the first sign of an invasion happening? Everyone was already coming with theories predicting what could happen next.

The internet was also stormed with much discussion regarding about Luster's Indigenous Type form, they've dubbed it as the giant of lights 'magic form' mainly because stunts he pulled off against the robot that appeared.

From teleportation, and the manipulation of fire, ice and electricity many are already wondering what else he could possibly do. Not just Indigenous Type, but others also felt the same way about Might and Brilliant. To many Brilliant has the vibe of a hero, while Might without a doubt had the feeling of a brave warrior. Many can't explain how or why but each time the giant of light changed he always felt like a completely different.

One thing for sure, the public's support of both Ultraman Luster and Titan was increasing day by day. Feeling safe in their city. Meanwhile others not to much because there were lots of questions unanswered.

While that was the case, the group that pitched in defending Earth gained a new ally, in the form of young alien Dada by the name of Dally. Even though the threat of Inpearlizer was dealt with, she couldn't leave the planet even if she wanted to.

So, they decided to let her stay, as for where, well over at the Lunis household, they had an empty attic that didn't have much of anything. So that was beyond perfect for her.

Now they just needed to move her stuff. At the old warehouse where she bunkered down and hid, the team brought the Lunis family's car to haul off what was needed. Heck even Kaiden and Jeanne pitched in bringing in their vehicle. Which of course was Jeannes, she had acquired a license and the car, a black 2020 Kia soul was a birthday present from last year. She rarely ever needed to use it too much, but right now was an exception. As they were helping out with the haul.

"Thanks again for the help everyone." Dally said to her new friends as they moved a few small boxes into the back trunk of the Lunis van, smaller objects were going in the back seat of the kia.

"It's no trouble Dally." Ilana reassured her. "Were more than happy to help."

"I know there's not much stuff here, but some of it important."

"I'm impressed you managed to create some of this software from earth technology." Octis in his Mr. Lunis disguise commented. "How were you able to trace the robot?"

"That wasn't easy...I had to hack into some of the satellites near the earth's orbit."

"Wait you hacked the satellites?" Jeanne was surprised. "That's dangerous you know."

"Maybe, but I managed to hide my tracks pretty good." Dally reassured her. "Plus, I used some of the older ones to enhance the detection and trace Inpearlizer's energy signature. I knew eventually sometime later it'd get free. I'm just glad no one got hurt because of me..."

"We don't blame yourself for what happened." Ilana put a hand onto her shoulder. "We feel the same for some of the troubles that come to Earth. So, I can understand that feeling." Both of them shared a smile and unknown to them Lance scowled keeping an eye on her as he continued loading up the car.

"How much stuff is left?" Kaiden asked.

"Not very much were almost done." Dally replied.

"Hey what's this thing?" Jeanne picked up what appeared to be some sort odd looking Syfy ray gun. "Never seen a toy like this this?"

"Hmm?" Before Jeanne could do anything, Dally turned over and panicked. "Aaaaaahhh! No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no!" She held out her hands. "No put that down! That's my Micronizing Device!"

"Huh?"

"You mean a shrink ray?" Newton was surprised but also translated for the red head who nervously passed it over back to its owner.

"A shrink ray?" It now just dawned upon n Jeanne that something could've happened. "You have a shrink ray!?"

"Uh...yeah..."

"And you just leave it lying around!?"

"I didn't expect I have a place to stay." Dally shrugged in response. "I didn't even think I would still even be alive." She carefully placed it inside of a plastic trash bag and put into a box. "But please could ask me what something is before you touch?"

"Maybe you could give a warning of things not to touch then." Jeanne retorted back and grew curious. "Wait...why do you have one for anyways?"

"Sometimes I've had to use it on myself to hide." Dally informed with a sigh. "I really want to talk about it ok?"

"And by any chance does that include stealing?" Lance inquired.

"...Only a few times..." Dally admitted in shame. She wasn't proud to do it, but when your desperate and hungry sometimes you have to do whatever, it takes. "But I haven't done that in a while. Even before you found me. I swear!"

Ilana spoke up as she was carrying a box pausing on the spot. "We appreciate your honesty. But don't worry, you don't have to keep doing that anymore." Dally smiled thankful that she had someone who treated her with kindness. Didn't judge them for their past mistakes and actions. What's more she was also just like her, someone not from this world. "By the way that's all of it yes?"

Dally hummed in response giving a nod. "That's all of it."

Octus watched it transpired and noticed Lance leaning against a collum. "Something wrong Lance?"

"Octus...are you even sure this is a good idea?"

"You mean Dally? Why wouldn't it be?"

"I mean come on...You don't think its not to hard to believe?" He was being honest and speaking out his thoughts. "First she appears, then the robot."

He turned around to the others seeing them converse with Dally. "I understand your hesitation Lance, but she's also much like you and Ilana. She lost her home to the Muttradi."

"I know..." He knew the pain full well of loosing the place where you come from. Where you born, you spent your whole life on.

"Just give it a try. Ilana, Jeanne and Kaiden are."

"Alright...I'll try." Lance gave him his word, but despite that he wasn't completely convinced either.

(Op. Digimon Rearise "The Future is Now/Time Leap)

As the opening starts at a fast pace, we see the silhouettes of three different giants passing. Afterwards we see a fourth and final silhouette of a giant standing in front of the massive crystal just as the title Ultraman Luster appears.

Yume wa sameta. Machi ga mieta

At the beginning we see Kaiden emerging out of the door with his cousin Jeanne coming right up from behind him, surprising the teen a whole bunch making her laugh at his reaction as the crystal shard was seen flying past them.

Ashibaya ni kumo ga sora wo nagareta

We now see Iliana standing in the middle of a park watching children play, reminiscing the times she'd play with her father as a ghostly image of her Corus armor being seen.

Yume janai sa" Kikoeta ki ga shi

Next, we see Lance running alongside the road vaguely remembering his father as a ghostly apparition of his armor, the Magnus is seen.

Genjitsu wa sukoshi kawari hajimeteita

Now we see Octus in his human disguise as Newton observing the people around him before taking on his adult disguise just as it briefly glitches revealing his true form for a split second.

Monokuromu no e ni himeta iro ga

A flash of darkness is seen showing the ruined planet of Galaluna showing Modula and his vast armory of Mutraddi under his control before we see a dark cloaked figure and a pair of glowing yellowish green eyes above the said figure.

Kioku wo taguru ito ni naru Daijoubu, mada susumeru yo tte

We see the three off-worlders forming into Titan and from nearby we see Kaiden running forward bringing out the Esper-Grazer inserting the Luster input into the top of the Soul Converter before holding it out coating him in light.

Tsubasa wo hirogeta

For a brief moment we once again see the silhouettes of the three giants from the start just as the light died down and Luster in his Brilliant type form was seen running alongside Titan going into battle against a whole horde of Mutradii, and kaiju, firing off a series of energy attacks taking out a few of them.

Mirai wo saa mi ni ikou, Kako mo kaeteku mirai wo

After kicking away a Hellberus Luster changes colors going red into his Might Type form creating two energy blades from his wrist running by a Kelbim and Gue Basser causing them to explode while Titan creates a bow and fires off an arrow hitting a Birdon before it countered the punch of a Red King with a punch of its own.

Itsuka kitto wakaru nda, Sono mirai wa ima nan da

B Next we see Luster changing his colors into a bluish green color, shifting into his Indigenous Type form and teleported creating a swirl of energy right between his hands to blast away a bunch of Muttradi with ease while Titan leapt up into the air throwing down a spear that impaled Galactron Mk2 causing it to explode before it's seen standing back-to-back with Luster back in his Brilliant Type form.

Hikari wo sagashi ni yukou Kage wo utsushidasu hikari wo

We now change to show Solomon and a masked woman standing in front of their G3 logo followed by General Steel and his troops seen saluting.

Itsuka kimi ga nagashita, Ano namida ga ima boku wo tsukiugokasu yo

Suddenly we see the masked woman without her mask reaching her hand out to a figure who had his body coated in light that quickly dissipates now revealing her and Kaiden standing across from one another as the same crystal flying over them along with Luster's upper body seen above them both.

Chorus(Oh, Oh, Oh.)

We quickly see Ilana and her Corus armor, followed by Lance and his Magnus Armor followed by Octus and his human disguises.

Chorus(Oh, Oh, Oh.)

Next, we see supporting characters like Jeanne, Dally, Solomon and the Mysterious Masked woman, Celestine.

Chorus(Oh, Oh, Oh.)

Afterwards we see Kaiden walking and as he did, we see each of the three giant silhouettes appear one at a time right next to Luster's many forms, Brilliant, Might & Indigenous. Behind him were Lance, Octus and Ilana, the silhouette of Titan appearing behind them.

Sono egao ga ima boku wo tsukiugokasu yo

As the song finally ends, we see the group composed of Kaiden, Jeanne, a young alien, Iliana, Lance & Octus all gathered around holding a crystal in the middle glancing up at the skies just as we see the necklace holding the crystal dangle down.

Opening done.

(Galaluna)Location: Outer City Limits

Weeks had passed and despite the Muttradi's take over and occupation and their leader being held captive by the enemy many of the remaining soldiers still held strong. The tides of war wasn't in their favor but their spirits still remained strong.

One such example was a soldier running through the line of fire. Despite his age, this aged war veteran was still the top of his game. However, even he had his limits and his breathing was growing ragged. Narrowly avoiding enemy fire as he jumped avoiding an incoming explosive projectile that blew up right behind him.

He landed, grunting a bit, suddenly from the side something bashed him away. It was a Muttradi Juggernaut, bigger and bulkier than the normal grunts, with two small tusks bellow the jawline it opened its hideous ugly mug to let out a roar.

The older soldier stared in anger reaching to his pocket pulling out a side arm. If he was gonna do out, it'd be out fighting. The juggernaut charged and this man jumped over landing on the ground firing a few shots hitting the back of its legs making the juggernaut howl out in pain. Afterwards the barrel of the weapon was shoved right into the mouth, not wasting time, he pulled the trigger leaving a big hole behind its head.

The invader's lifeless body fell backwards, and from behind more were rushing at him all at once. He quickly grabbed his weapon and took aim firing off a few rounds, giving off a war cry as he charged impaling one in the chest with the bayonet of his rifle.

Just as more muttradi grunts were gonna lunge at him it suddenly got blasted from behind. This old veterans right hand man shot the grunt in the back rushing forward using the momentum to impale another that same foe.

Quickly he pulled out there form of a grenade pressing a button and heaved it over to the incoming battalion far as he could. Luckily for him it got the job done eliminating the current nuisance.

"There over here!" Another voice called much to the relief of the two soldiers.

"More enemies on route!" A soldier exclaimed rushing over to their commanding officers with what remained of their team. "We won't be safe here for much longer."

"Did we secure the coordinates?"

"Affirmative." The lieutenant confirmed as they looked to their commanding officer who reached into his uniform pulling out their objective which appeared to be some sort of disc/file drive hybrid.

"You must take it, bring it to the resistance. We cannot let the Muttradi figure out what we're doing. We need to leave immediately."

"But...commander, we can still fight." The lieutenant pointed out.

"And we still have others fighting the front lines!" Another joined in followed a female officer.

"This is our home."

"No, bringing this to our allies is crucial and all that matters." He walked up to his lieutenant. "If we don't succeed in our mission. Then our effort is all but in vain." Afterwards he passed it over. "Go now, while there's still time!"

"What are you going to do?"

Wearily he stared off at the distance where the sound of more enemies was approaching. "I'll hold them off, buy you all some time." Not a few, but lots of them, their snarls could be heard getting closer.

"No were staying and fighting along with you sir." The lieutenant argued and naturally others felt the same.

"Listen to me!" Their commanding officer said in a firm dead serious tone. "If the Muttradi learn what we're doing we'll lose more than just soldiers. It is crucial that this gets delivered. "He looked over to his lieutenant giving him his tags. "It is now your time to lead...Do good by you battalion."

For without a doubt the last time, he saluted the brave men and woman who have bravely served under him. In return so did they, a few holding back tears, many have known the man before them for a long time. He gained their absolute trust and respect.

This was hard for them to do, but they knew he was right. Dark days these were, many hope that someday very soon the nightmare would end.

But for right now they would have to endure and try to live on, praying to see the day when there home would become free.

The battalion then raced off leaving their soon to be 'previous' commander by himself. With a heavy sigh, he steeled his resolve taking out his weapons of choice. Two large blades. Glaring at the incoming enemy, he embraced himself for whatever may happen.

Raising up his weapon this hardened war veteran gave off a mighty war cry as he faced off the enemies coming his way.

---

Modula's frustration was growing by the minute. First the fire monster he sent, Jingoku was defeated and now he's only just received news of the Metal Hydra's demise nearly weeks after its defeat.

Just how was the princess able to fend off and defeat the beasts he sent?

While in his thoughts he stopped upon seeing a single gallalunian soldier, wielding two large blades standing up top of the bodies of many mutraddi. He appeared to be in his mid-fifties but despite his age, he was heavily buff and in excellent shape. Although his uniform was in tatters, he still proudly wore it, along with numerous stars indicating his status.

Seeing this lone soldier Modula stopped. "Commander Garret." He acknowledged his presence, and the hardened veteran turned to the traitor. Eye mixed with disbelief and anger.

"Modula...so it is you...You are the one behind this..."

"I am."

"Why?" He jumped off the pile with ease. "We've fought many battles together, our soldiers trusted you, we risked and gave our lives for Galauna."

Modula hummed at this as the two start to pace circling around each other like wolves, one side waiting for the other to make the first move. "Yes, I did...Many of use foolishly did..."

"What? Foolishly?" He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "We fought to protect our home and make a future for the next generation. So that our home can prosper. How can you say that!?"

"That was long ago..." Modula and the soldier started pacing around each other like animals ready to go on the attack. "My patience is running thin Garret...If you tell me what you were doing. I will spare those who cannot defend themselves. As ruler of Galaluna I can be at least...'considerate'."

"Ruler?" That was such blasphemy. "You are no ruler...You are a tyrant. We will never bend to your will!" Garret said gripping his blades. "We'd rather die than let you and these muttradi scum take our planet."

"So be it then." Modula rushed forward while the old solider rushed forward swinging his blade downwards and then the other one thrusting and swiping repeatedly. However, Modula was able to dodge each attack, barely even breaking a sweat.

Modula then proceeded to kick Garret causing one of his swords to fly in the air. As he rushed forward Modula jumped catching the weapon and impaled Garrets own weapon into his back making it pierce through his chest.

"Such a waste..." This former general scoffed.

"We will never give up...There is still hope...As long as that hope exists we shall not... perish." With those final words spoken Garret had taken his final breath falling forward.

"Maybe so but I will see to that it does." He gave his word. But then Modula clenched his fists in anger. It was such defiance like this, was why he hadn't finished or accomplished his goal yet. "Even now word continues to spread...of my failure to eliminate the princess. With each one my presence on this planet means nothing. It only inspires them to continue resisting."

"Sire..." He looked to see Adon, the same frog muttradi who informed him the last time.

However, Modula didn't need to know he already knew. "The last creature I sent failed me, didn't it?"

"I am afraid so master."

"Once again. Twice now. First a mindless beast failed, and even something with intelligence." He pondered in thought. "

An audible giggle was heard in which Modula growled. "Having trouble Modula?" From the right side someone was perched onto a wall sitting against the ledge. Was figure wearing a black cloak all over its body. Judging from the body frame, it was female. No noticeable traits could be seen either. Nor the face.

"What are you doing here Briar?"

Suddenly the one known was Briar appeared right beside him. "I've been hearing you've been having difficulties' eliminating the princess. A shock too, considering your power should've made the conquest of this planet easy." She walked behind him. "Oh well, I guess not."

"I am not in the mood for your games."

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong." Suddenly she appeared right in front of him. "On the contrary I'm willing to help."

"I don't need or want your help. I conquered Gallaluna without your aid."

She snorted in amusement. "I wouldn't be so confident. It is true your ability to control these creatures is remarkable. However, I have far more experience then you do. I'm willing to aid you."

"And what do you propose then?"

---

At the palace Modula and Briar arrived at the control room for the rift gate. She was deep in thought. "You've sent a Jigoku and Metal Hydra to the world the princess landed on. And yet both were defeated."

"Why do you bother with the names?"

"Because it's what they are called. You should know better than to give your...'pets' more respect and attention."

"I do not care. I want to know how she keeps defeating the creatures." Modula was dead set on finding out.

"You don't believe that the world she landed on is possibly...protected?"

"Perhaps, but even so. One Muttradi Mega Beast can wipe out armies with ease."

"A few armies perhaps, you shouldn't underestimate the universe itself..." They both stop at the control panel. "I'll admit, many of these Muttradi are impressive. But there are creatures in the vast reach's the universe that make them look pale in comparison."

"What exactly are you trying to prove?"

"For all we know the first two could've been a fluke. But now, this one won't be so easy to deal with. If it falls, you'll know something is admis, something you do not know."

He hummed in thought; she made a valid point. "Very well then. You believe 'your' creatures are more powerful than mine. Then prove it."

Briar chuckled. "Gladly." As he punched in a few buttons on the console, Briar had appeared outside floating in midair. "Appear, Underground Armored Monster, Madriusano." From her hand a purplish beam was blast exploding into the air. Afterwards a swirl of energy appeared.

In the hole you can see a set of four glowing green eyes clustered together in a diamond formation. "It's been a while since you last wreaked havoc. Have it." She got a loud hissing noise in response it leapt up into the stream of the warp gate allowing it to a hitch a ride going up and through the portal.

---

At G3 headquarters inside of Solomon's office we see Celestine sitting across from Solomon. In her hands was something important

She plants the file right in front of Solomon, without a reaction he stares directly down at it.

"You know what this is don't you?"

"I do." Solomon recalled this 'proposed' idea years ago. Back when G3 first started their weaponry was very limited, and they didn't have the proper means to fully counter threats. "The plans for Project M-G What about it?"

"Sir as you know the meeting between the top branch members of G3 will transpire shortly. And I'm aware that this might be sudden. But I implore you to bring this up."

Solomon opened the file glancing at the contents skimming through it with ease. "Not everyone is going to approve of this. And personally, I have my doubts about it."

"I understand, and to be honest I have my own doubts as well. But right now, would like a crucial moment to throw it aside. Not just for G3, but also the Earth itself."

Solomon continuing staring down at the file before sliding it back to her. "Very well." Even though he was against the idea, it was ultimately going to be decided by a vote between all chains of command within their organization. So, they might as well hear the proposal and have their debate.

---

Minutes go by, we see the group having lunch in Kaiden & Jeanne's home. They decided to have lunch, as for what was on the menu. Left-over meatloaf Jeanne and her cousin helped make two days ago, while Octus was in his Newton disguise.

"I really thank you all again for your help." Dally said rubbing the back of her head sheepishly and got elbowed by Jeanne.

"Hey, come on lighten up. Don't need to keep on doing that. You're living with us now."

"Sorry...I'm just...Never mind." She changed her mind. "Your right, I should focus on what's happening right now." Dally continued eating and looked over to Octus. "Can you even eat?"

"Yes I can actually."

"Strange, even for a robot."

"Except he ain't your average robot." The red head chuckled. "We were confused too the first time. You'll get used to it."

"So, I'm curious who made you?"

"Uknown."

"Unknown?"

"Yes, you see when I first came online, it was right at the same time when Galaluna was invaded, and I was sent into hiding along with Lance to protect Ilana. Aside from that there's much to my programming that even I don't understand."

"Probably for a good reason." Dally deduced. "Sometimes there is."

"We've wondered about that too. But honestly, were just glad to have him with us." Ilana commented and looked over to Kaiden. "Same with Kaiden."

"Hey Dally?" Jeanne glanced at their new 'roommate'. "Are kaiju pretty normal for you?"

"Well...yeah. They've always been. Same with other aliens like me, not just here on Earth but also all over the vast majority of space."

"Did you always have problems with them?" Ilana was curious since, she thought the Muttradi Mega Beasts were one thing, but she never imagined that there were other giant monsters. First there being some on earth, and then learning there all over the entire universe. She really was learning more then she bargained for a lot these days.

"Often times depending on the species. We can do just fine, like for example, there's one kaiju I know of, Noiseler, it hunts through using Echolocation letting them hear attacks coming, even energy rays. That allows it to locate prey from hundreds of miles away. And it even feeds on sound."

"It feeds on sound?" Newton never heard of such a thing.

"It can, there able to absorb and feed on sound and radio waves in the area around it, nullifying noises near it. But it turns out that it can't stand certain sounds. And you can use that sound to drive it away. Only problem is, it can be random, and you don't know which one will work until you give a few attempts. All in all, some manage to live right beside them in harmony and others not so much."

"Do you have any more information about these 'other' monsters? Because that information would help us out tremendously." Octus knew that they could gain a better understanding, whenever they face those threats or even need to use the information they have to deal with others just in case.

"Absolutely I don't mind at all." Dally nodded her head more than happy to help.

"What about other aliens?" Lance threw in his question. "Do you also have intel on them too?" His way of asking was a bit more on edge.

"Sure, I do. I know and have some bits of information, but not a whole lot."

"That'll work." He accepted that response.

"Um...where's the rest room?"

"Upstairs, door down straight in the middle of the hall." Jeanne answered back to Dally. "Can't miss it."

"Thank you."

Lance watched her leave before commenting. "She seems comfortable."

"Well, you can't really blame her." The red head commented. "I mean she's been a through a lot."

"That's true...she also had gone through the same thing...like we did..." Ilana said in a saddened tone, because when she left her home, she had no choice. She wasn't even sure if her father, was still alive. Or what was happening back on Galaluna. Dally went through the same thing; she doesn't know if her family made it out or not either. So, she heavily symphonizes for their new friend.

"Jeanne, I don't mean to ruin the mood. But what if...'you know who' comes back home?" Kaiden was referring to his mother. Who's always busy at work, traveling a lot and nowadays is hardly at home.

"I'm sure we can figure out something." She wasn't to bothered, but rather confident instead of being worried. Then again it could also be a facade to conceal it.

"Either way this can be a good thing." Newton spoke up. "While its true Earth has a vast knowledge on giant monsters, but she evidently knows her fair share. Possibly information that has yet to be acquired. Not to mention her technical knowledge can be useful as well."

"Ooooh, I get it your glad that there's another brain in the bunch." Jeanne nodded her head with a hand underneath her chin. "I gotcha...Better safe than sorry."

Lance ate in silence. How aren't any of them worried? How can they let them have such open arms for? He thought even Kaiden would be suspicious, evidently not. Same with Jeanne unfortunately.

Although her story was convincing enough given the evidence, they were all shown and given. Lance refused to let his guard down. Not when this sort of thing has happened in the past. Not when he was double crossed by people he had known. Not when 'they've' been betrayed by those who were supposed to be loyal, those that swore to protect.

X0X0X

Minutes later Dally exited out while doing she passed by Kaiden's room, the door was open. And as she did, something caught her attention. "Hmm?" Dally noticed something through the doorway. Lying on the edge of the bed was an open book. To be more specific, Kaiden's sketchbook. "Hey..." She picked it up and marveled at the details of some of the drawings on the pages.

She also saw the drawings of Emiror, flipping through she also found the drawings of Nidus and Zirka. But while skimming, Dally was looking at new additions, heck looking like they've been added and drawn very recently too.

First it was Nidus was charging through an electrical attack from an opposing dinosaur like kaiju with large ram like horns where the electrical attacks were coming from. The next was Emiror making a barrier to defend from incoming projectile attacks from a kaiju that looked like a beetle. The third was Zirka, he was in air battle against a large prehistoric looking bird, both were trying to out speed the other.

Gazing down at them she couldn't help but stare in awe. She had seen these giants before. Yes, she has, and Dally just had to know the truth and find out more about these drawings. So taking the sketchbook she went back downstairs.

"Uh excuse me?" She got their attention showing the sketch book. "Did one any one of you do these?"

"I did actually..." Kaiden replied back noticing how she was staring intently at the pages.

"Kaiden you drew more?" Her cousin nodded as he took the sketch book. "The first three were cool, just didn't think you'd do more."

"The first time was odd. I did it because I felt compelled too. Then days later I had...more dreams. And each one I saw was like...memories?" Kaiden paused, a few except for Dolly understood what he was talking about. When he first explained what it was like being Ultraman Luster, it was as if he was four different people at the same time. "Honestly I'm not so sure. But it feels that way...I mean how else can you explain it?"

"Um...what are their names?"

Jeanne hummed as she named each one raising up a finger counting them off. "Emiror, Nidus and Zirka." She also wanted to be sure she got them right.

With the response given Dally started to go more into thought. "I think I know of these giants."

"You do?" Kaiden looked over to her.

She nodded in response. "My family were archeologists. We always traveled from various planets to study the past, and along the way there was of course different stories about giants of light." Dally made her way over to a single box pulling out her special book that had the brown leather casing. "All across the universe there's stories. But only a rare few ever had their names marked down..." She started searching and found what she was looking for. Afterwards Dally turned the book so they could all see, surely enough much to their awe and shock the same three giants were right there!

"Where did you find those?" Jeanne leaned in for a closer look.

"We discovered these old ruins on the moon by the planet we colonized." She started to explain while Kaiden, Ilana and Mr. Lunis joined for a look themselves. "It was odd finding these scriptures about them. But, if what you told me is true. Your power comes not just from the power of Luster, but the also the spirits of these ancient ultra warriors."

"Ancient?" Ilana had her interest piqued more. "You mean they're-"

"No longer around yes. They all faded away long ago. Only these texts are an example of their history. "

Like it was story time Jeanne sat down on the floor crossing out her legs. "Well, if you could, we'd really like to know more about them. So, can you tell us?

"Certainly." She flipped one page showing the first giant of light. "Ultraman Emiror, a noble hero who traveled through the universe seeking to help those in need. While also a brave fighter with intelligence, he was also a skilled healer. Not just for wounds, but also even entire worlds. Many have spoken about his achievement's, dedicating his existence to ensure there would be life through the vast star systems."

"I can see that..." Ilana nodded her head. Instantly the group thought back on the end of Lusters fight against Metal Hydra. When the creature exploded, Luster had restored life back into that area. That was also the day she, and her companions learned the truth. And gained more as a result.

They watched Dally change the page again to the second. "Ultraman Nidus, the legendary warrior who led others like him to fight and protect his home world. His great strength was revered far and wide across the universe. Same with his courage, that inspired hope to so many to follow him and gain respect for him. But unfortunately, he met his end sacrificing himself to face an entire army in a last-ditch effort to protect his homeland. Nidus succeeded but didn't make it. He was given a burial with all the customs of his people. A great and high honor."

"It's kind of ironic." Jeanne pointed out. "We've had a lot of those beliefs for centuries. Kind of cool knowing that's far out there, huh cus?" Kaiden hummed in agreement showing the third.

"Last we have is Ultraman Zirka, a Master and practitioner of the Astral Arts. An ancient style of magic harnessed through the energy of the stars themselves. Not much is known about him, legend has it he was a wander. Traveling through the universe, finding trouble rather than avoiding it. Putting his skills to the use, he was renowned for his mastery over the three elements of Fire, Electricity and Ice. Others say he carried many secrets, some of which others would want to learn. No one ever found out what he knew, Zirka had taken all of secrets with him to the afterlife."

She closed the book and then grew confused while the others were still letting those stories sink in. "Something's bothering me...I've never heard of Ultraman Luster not untill I came to Earth."

"What do you mean?" Kaiden was interested. "Is he like...not known like the other three are?"

"No...Granted many don't really remember Emirror, Nidus and Zirka. But up till late, never heard anything about Luster. That really brings up the question...how are they tied with him? Why would Luster be able to use their power?" Dally looked over to Kaiden. "Did you come into contact with him?"

"Uh...no. Not really.

"Strange...many bond with other beings using them as hosts.

"Hosts?" Ilana wasn't sure if she heard right. "What do you mean by that?"

"Its kind of complicated."

"If you know something about this that we don't tell us then." Lance pipped in; impatience was behind his voice.

Dally hummed in thought trying to remember what she was told in the past. "From what I remember, giants of light also known as, Ultra's bond with other beings through a process that typically involves merging their energies or consciousness. It's like a symbiotic relationship. This bond allows say a human to transform when needed."

"Why choose to bond with someone?" Octus piped in his question. "I've been curious that. It's obvious that they willingly give their power. But how come they can only retain their psychical form for a short period of time?"

"Typically, they make their choice on who to bond with. Normally they connect with those they believe that are worthy. Those with good valiant hearts. Knowing right from wrong, that sort of thing."

"And them not staying giant?" Jeanne raised an eyebrow.

"Because of main two reasons." She holds raises up a finger as she speaks giving off the number. "One is their limited energy source. Two is because of the Earth's atmosphere."

"Earth's atmosphere?" The red head wasn't following. "What's wrong with it?"

"I believe she's trying to say that this atmosphere is not conducive enough for them to sustaining their true form for extended periods of time. This is why they often revert to human size or need to merge with a host." Newton answered Lance's question.

"Yep, exactly as he said." Dally nodded pointing over to Newton and held up a finger. "But...there is a way how you can recharge."

"Wait...I can recharge myself?" This was new information Kaiden didn't know about.

"Yes, you can. But you can only use this method through bright light source. Like for example, your solar systems own sun."

"Now it makes sense, the Earth's atmosphere filters the sunlight itself. Which limits Kaiden's fighting time."

"To specifically three minutes." Dally held up three fingers emphasizing what she said chuckling and giving off a light smile towards Newton. "Exactly right. You catch on really fast. But that method can be dangerous too." She turned to Kaiden. "Even you would have a limit to have much you possibly absorb. Only use it as a last resort."

"So basically, don't fly to close to the sun." Jeanne summarized comparing it to the Greek Myth of Icarus who had wings made out of wax. Ignoring the warnings and fell back down meeting his end. "Good to know."

"Dally we really appreciate you telling us all of this." Ilana was really pleased to learn more, not only that but they at least gained a bit more understanding. However, one wasn't so open.

"Hey? Soldier boy? Why the silent treatment?" Jeane questioned looking over to Lance. "You've been like that all day.

He only stared at Dally and moved the dada who looked a bit hurt taking the hint.

"What?" Kaiden didn't know what was happening.

Seeing no other choice, Newton decided it was time to address the elephant in the room. "Lance still doesn't fully trust Dally." Although he didn't show the signs, he was visibly irritated that he told on him.

"T-That's not true." Ilana objected shaking her head not believing Octus turning to her bodyguard. "Right Lance?...Lance?" She didn't get a response back confirming what was said. "I don't believe this..."

"I'm sorry...But I don't." He hesitantly spoke up.

"Are you kidding me!?"Jeanne exclaimed in disbelief standing up. "You mean to tell me, that despite knowing that she lost her home just like you guys. And telling us all that. You're in belief thinking she's a spy."

"I'm only reserving my judgement." Lance clarified. "I always do."

"Reserving your judgement!?" Jeanne approached her. "Lance...Our friend got chased down by a giant robot that followed her to this planet. Because it was sent to go after her. You saw the evidence that those monsters are the same ones who attacked your world. You just can't expect me not to believe."

"Maybe that's your problem." He turned to face her. "You just don't think of the possibilities that can happen. You just want to ignore it."

"I beg your pardon!?"

"Lance that's enough!"

"NO!" He snapped over at Ilana. "We've been betrayed before. And it happened again and look what happened."

Hearing this, made her scoff. "Oh, now you care about home!?"

"I do care about home! I think about those that I can be helping..." Lance drowned on. "I think about it, every night. Every day...And you know what...this would never have happened if your father had just listened to me! If anything, just believed me! If anyone believed me! And not think only about themselves!"

"Are you done yet?" Jeanne marched over to him. "I don't know what you've been through. But right now, all your doing is it making this about you."

Hearing this angered him. "What did you say!?"

"You heard me!" Yet despite this she didn't care and stood in front of him. "Yeah, all that happened, but that's no excuse for you to vent your outlet onto us. And even Dally when she hasn't done a single thing wrong to you!"

"But what if she's actually lying!?" Lance questioned yelling directly in the red heads face. "Many times, there have been those back who visited Galaluna only to infiltrate our society. Using all kinds of stories to deceive and hide their true intentions! How do you think we lost and ended up like this in the first place!? It's no different than here on Earth and thinking like that can make what happened on Galaluna transpire here too!"

"That maybe, but just because one makes a mistake that should all aliens get the same treatment!?" Jeanne shoved him back and put Lance against the wall.

"Jeanne stop it!" Kaiden called out but she ignored her cousin and continued giving Lance a talk.

"But what does that say about you!? Aren't you no different yourselves!?" Hearing this struck a nerve in Lance who glared at her as she continued. "You're not from this world, and you ended up bringing your problems here too! So, here's a question for you. If it was someone else that knew your secret, or even Kaiden's. What do you think they would've done!?"

Octus cut in between the two separating them. Both the steeled gaze of Lance locked in with the fiery eyes of Jeanne, neither one saying a word. Silence hung for a bit until Lance decided to walk off going into the back yard.

"Say what you want...I want to believe...But at the same time. I can't..." He said while going out the door.

As for Ilana she could give off a sigh walking over to her friend. "Dally I'm sorry...

"No...don't be. I'm used to it." For a brief moment her disguise came off revealing her true form. "I've gotten used to others not trusting me. Honest." She looked over to Lance who was sitting on a chair obviously using that time to calm down his nerves.

For many that didn't know, was the Galactic Guardian Group, G3 is a privately funded, clandestine army of mercenaries that provide protection from extra-terrestrial life forms threatening to invade Earth. Not just those threats but also kaiju as well. Although it might've started out as a small group over time it had grown and expanded.

Solomon was the chief of Supervision, Staff and Field Commander over G3 itself.

Celestine was the head of their research division, specializing in the study or kaiju and unknown form life studies. Sitting with them were three other individuals.

These were the other heads of command in the organization itself. There's also another factor, these individuals, were also original founding members. Each one leads a branch of G3 keeping it maintained.

The first was a tall well fit man in his late 40's, short brown hair with eyes to match. Wearing the standard red uniform, he wore black gloves, and tied around his right shoulder was a white bandana.

Head of Training and Special Armed forces: Nikolai Sorokin.

Next to him was a much thinner person compared to all of them. Dark brown hair, with a small ponytail behind him. He was wearing a small hat and a pair of large round glasses. Also compared to the others his uniform was unbuttoned, exposing a plain white shirt. Despite looking unprofessional, and somewhat lazy, he was anything but either of those things.

Head of Science and Technology: Clark Carbon.

Finally, there was a woman of Japanese heritage with blue eyes, she was wearing a nurse's hat concealing her black hair. She was wearing a G3 uniform as well only it was decorated with the medical cross symbol on both of her shoulders.

Head of Medical Division: Mina Hagakure

"Long while since we've had a get together, hasn't it?" The taller man in the room questioned with a light chuckle earning

"It has, hasn't it?" The head of their medical division shared that same sentiment.

"Please do focus on why we are here." Solomon requested not wishing to waste time in a firm voice.

"Yes, that would be best..." Clark agreed. "Well...let's get the show on the road, shall we?"

"As we all know, right now, we've entered another age of kaiju. Not only that but were also experiencing more that originate from space as well. Only a month and half ago, the first creature landed. And a result

"Hard to believe...that all those years passed...flying by so quick..." Mina noted. "But many of us knew, it'd had to happen again at some point."

"Indeed." Clark agreed with his college. '"Not just that, but along with their return, so has Ultraman Luster. And don't forget, not just him, but the robot. The public in which they've dubbed as Titan. It appeared the same time when Jigoku did. That alone means that there somehow connected."

"That is a very good possibility. We can't ignore that." Nikolai agreed. "Although it is helping Luster, we still haven't determined the motive. Or the reason why it's here to begin with."

"More reason we must determine our next course of action carefully. Consider what options there are and what actions must be taken." Clark noted.

"Before we continue this meeting. Celestine wishes to bring something important to our attention. Clestine?"

The head of their Biology Division stands up from her spot. "As you all know, we the Galactic Guardian Group have always been at a disadvantage, with the emergence of kaiju, especially the undocumented ones."

"Yes, that is true. But remember, until an emergence does occur, there's only so much we can do to prepare." Clark reminded them and it was true, every new one that emerged they had to learn about it quickly as possible. Not just when they encounter another, but also use the data they acquire to counter another creature of possible same capabilities.

"More than just that, even though our armament has improved. We need more. Which is why, I bring up the topic of reconsidering Project M-G. And continue where we left off years ago."

"Ah, that old thing." Nikolai leaned forward; his attention fully captured. "Been a while, I've honestly forgot about it."

"Out of the question. " Clark shook his head. "We don't need it."

"Actually, considering the vast possibility's that'll come around later on. It would be in our best interest if we do so."

"Maybe, but...there's a problem if we do choose to proceed." Mina chimed in.

Solomon had the floor now. "As we all know, G3 is a sole independent organization. That's tied to no government in the entire world. We've gotten to where were at now, through lots of favors. But an agreement was also made that under no circumstances is to meddle in the affairs. Only when natural disaster strikes do we intervene and provide aid. However, our main objection still stands, we deal with not only the threats of monsters, but others that come to our world."

"And nothing will change that." Nikolai nodded in agreement. "But why not move forward with the idea? It is true we have many brave men and woman willing to give their lives for the cause. But if even something to minimize our loses. Why hesitate?"

"Because if we did, we'd only get more attention drawn to us." Clark answered. "True we've been adamant and used our favors with many countries around the world. But if they learn that we have a capable weapon of dealing with kaiju and other threats. There would a lot of sparks of controversy."

Nikolai hummed. "Ah I see. Others basically would want a piece of the pie. But we can't just blindly place trust and hope they don't use it for their own gains."

"Not only that, but others would argue, no demand they need protection." Mina pointed out.

"Bah, lots of them had their chances." Nikolai shook his head. "I don't mean to sound mean. But it's the truth. Many have had their chances to prepare. Only to choose not. Only a handful have considered."

"Not to mention those so called 'projects' have been put on hold. Either because of budgets, or some other ridiculous excuse." Clark hit the nail on that one.

"We can't blame them, lots of people have lost a lot and been through different ordeals regarding kaiju." Celestine spoke up. "Which is why we need to put this all into consideration and do something."

"Solomon, how do you feel about this?" Clark questioned.

"I understand and agree with all of you and what you say." Was his response. "However, Celestine is right. We must take this into consideration. Furthermore, through her studies analyzing the latest samples from all the new kaiju that've emerged we've come to a conclusion."

Celestine brought out her pad making the photos of Jigoku and Metal Hydra appear. "After studying them all closely, and aside from them not being from this world. I've learned that they all are coming, from the same place they originate from."

"Your absolutely certain?" Clark questioned.

"Yes, both of them had an unusual signature. Each emitting some foreign form of energy and material. Each one had it. It was feint, but they all come from the same place."

"What about that robot?" Nikolai questioned. "Is it not safe to assume its from the same enemy?"

"Possibly, but those two monsters emerged through a rift gate."

"Indicating that they were deliberately sent here..." Clark deduced. "That form of technology is super advanced, we've only dreamt about the possibilities...Something or someone is sending them. Question is...for what reason?"

"We obviously do not know." Nikolai shrugged. "But from what we've learned in the past is that always expect the unexpected. Where's there's one, there's of course bound to be more...Hearing all this now. We should consider moving forward and restarting the project. Clark? What was our progress before it was halted?"

"About forty-five...no, forty nine percent done." The man with large specs readjusted his eyewear. "With the current new technology, we have. It'd only be a few weeks until it'd be finished. Unless we decide to add further or more possible modifications to it."

"I think we should finish discussing that matter until the end." Mina suggested. "There are other topics to focus on. Some long overdue, but we can cast our votes in. Shouldn't we?"

"Very well." Solomon was fine as they each submitted their vote.

---

Outside Lance was a state of inner turmoil. Both out of guilt, and also stubbornness. He shouldn't have done that, but his instincts told him otherwise. He was trained to hold in his emotions, especially when it came to the mission. And by far, this mission, to safeguard and protect the heir of Galaluna itself was the hardest.

They were supposed to go into hiding, but that only lasted for so long. Even if they wanted to leave, where else could they possibly go? This solar system was very unfamiliar ground for them. Not only that, but there was currently no way return back home. For the time being, they were stranded, and for their own survival they had to blend in this with society. That has no different challenges then back on their home world.

Even though they've gained a powerful new alley, it still didn't feel like it was enough. On top of that, now they supposedly had a new ally. This was all happening so fast, he had to get Kaiden and Jeanne to earn his trust. Even then he still had slight reservations Why couldn't it be no different than it is with Dally?

She lost her home yes, but it still wasn't enough. Why couldn't they see he was only looking out for the welfare of the group? Not just his, but Ilana's, her safety was his top priority.

"Want one?"

"No thanks..."

"Suit yourself..." Dally sat on the next chair across from him.

"Why are you here?"

"I don't know..." She answered honestly before admitting her intentions. "I just...kind of wish to understand why you feel that way towards me."

"Look you seem like-" Before Lance could continue Dally raised up a hand motioning or rather signaling him to stop.

"But you if you don't want to its fine. I'm honestly used to it by now." Dally said in a solemn tone. "It's always been that way."

"Why?"

"Do you really want to know?" She didn't get a response back, so Dally pressed on. "Remember when I said, I was hesitant because of Kaiden, being Ultraman? Well...there's lots of reasons because of it...considering what I am..."

He raised an eyebrow at this. "What you are?"

"Yes, whenever others see a Dada, they know that trouble is going to happen. The truth is my people are very notorious. Lots of them are criminals, despite our brilliant minds a lot misuse that intelligence for their own selfish purposes."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm getting there...In truth, I've never stepped foot on my native home world." She now acquired his full attention. "You see, the members of my race are referred to by their registration number and class, rather than possessing given names."

"No names?" Dally shook her head. "What about your shrink rays?"

"Micronizers." Dally corrected. "My people also used them to their advantage. Ranging from capturing Kaiju and selling the exotic and highly sought-after creatures on open markets. To those that would pay...They...they also used them to abduct others...Sell into them into slavery..."

"That's awful."

"It is...and because of their actions. Many naturally get suspicious when they see a Dada." She turned over to Lance with a sorrowful expression. "How come those that didn't a do thing to others have to bear the sins and troubles caused by others? Why?"

Now Lance was starting to feel bad and decided to talk with her a bit more. "So... why'd your parents leave in the first place?"

"I was curious about that myself for a while. I wanted to ask my father, and I was hesitant."

"So did you?"

"Yeah, I did, and I learned a lot. Evidently Planet Dada didn't condone the crimes of there own. Whenever it involved slavery, or black market selling. Lots of things that put a target on the planet itself."

"So, wait...they knew and they just let them do it?"

"I was shocked myself, and that's why he and my mother left. It didn't want to change, no matter hard people tried, it refused to do so. That's why lots of my kind leave, we'd rather take our chances of trying to make a better life in another planet or solar system."

"Why are you tell me this?"

"I just figured that maybe...telling you a bit about myself...would help." Dally stands up from her spot "I know you only have good intentions...And I just wanted to let you know that I understand.

Suddenly from behind, the back door was heard sliding open. "Lance..." Newton's voice got his and Dally's attention. "The rift gate has opened."

"What!?" Hearing this he bolted out of his seat and over to his companion/associate. "How long ago!?"

"Just moments. Whatever emerged will be arriving shortly."

"Where's Kaiden and Jeanne!?"

---

"Thank you. Please come again." As of what was going on with the host and his cousin. Currently they just finished grabbing a carboard cupholder full of milkshakes. Of course this was happening right around the near same time of what was gonna be unfolding. They didn't know what was going on, but oh soon they will.

"So...your suggestion for helping to make things up between Lance and Dally are milkshakes?"

"Yeah, why?"

"It just...seems a bit...tacky?"

"What? No way, that's like one the few best ways of settling differences. Who doesn't like them?"

"People who are lactose intolerant?"

"Ok good fair point." She sighed. "But I needed to get out of the house before I felt like clobbering Lance. I can't believe the stuff he said about Dally. The nerve of that guy I swear."

For a brief moment Kaide was silent until he spoke up. "Well..."

"You're seriously not agreeing with him are you?" If she was gonna be glaring at him right now, she would, only she was still on the road. The red head didn't want to lose focus at all.

"N-No. I'm not. Jeanne, I'm not picking any sides, its true Dally has been through a lot, but Lance makes a few fair points too. I'm not saying it was wrong, I just think he's just...keeping our safety in mind. Not just Ilana."

She groaned a bit even though she wasn't pleased to hear this. At the same time, points were made. Not just because she was calming down now, but because it made a lot of sense. "All I'm doing is just keeping an open mind about things. That's it, nothing else."

"Are you just doing this and saying those words so you can avoid confrontation and drama?"

"No I..." Just as Kaiden was gonna continue the communication watch Octus had made for him started to go off. "Hello?"

"Kaiden! Where are you and Jeanne right now!? What's your location?"

"Lance? We're on our way home right now, why do you ask?"

"The rift gates been opened! Something came through! Its gonna land right near you!"

"What'd he say?" And just as Kaiden was gonna answer her question suddenly a big meteor like object flew across the sky catching their attention. Many watched as it flew off into another part of the city.

"...That's what they were calling about..." Kaiden replied before tapping onto the dashboard. "Drive in its direction!"

"Since when is that ever a good suggestion?" The red head retorted as she did as her cousin requested.

As for the said 'meteor' it landed off in the old warehouse district of the city. Which was also very close by the nearby shipping yard. When the objected landed the ground shook, a small explosion was made.

Within a few minutes, the smoke settled and appeared through the smoke was another kaiju, this one was insect like.

The monster resembled that of a very light tannish white, gigantic grubworm. It's entire back was dark brown, resembling a shell armor like plating. It had four large green eyes clustered together, the bottom fourth eye has two small orange spikes near it. There were also more spikes along its body as well. The creature also had six pairs of mandibles. Four large orange ones and much smaller white ones near where its 'mouth' was located. It had two long jagged long saw-like claws sticking out from its sides, at the front. Finally, was a notable large orange horn that stuck out.

(Madriusano. The Armored Underground Monster)

With its eyes giving off a glow, Madriusano gave off chirping roar noise and then it actually raised itself up, using the tip of its tail, the four green eyes glowed orange and four rays of energy were fired blasting at an old empty building blowing to bits.

Not a second to late, Kaiden and Jeanne pulled up stopping just in the nick of time to avoid the shock wave radius of the blast.

"Ugh, great another ugly one..." Jeanne commented, how come they were always either scary, ugly or strange and not cute? That's just messed up. "You wanna wait for them?"

"No need. Just let me get out."

"Alright..." The red head quickly pulled over. "Be careful..." Jeanne called out as Kaiden closed the door, rushing off to find a spot while he had the chance. Looking around carefully he made sure no else was around.

With that reassurance, Kaiden moved towards the kaiju. As he did, Kaiden took out the Esper Grazer including Luster's Memory key. Inserted it into the top of the device.

Ultra-Soul

Ultraman Luster

Kaiden quickly scrolled through the selection landing on Emirors icon.

Ultraman Emiror!

Spirit Surge! Brilliance!

Kaiden didn't stop running even as he pressed onto the big button, holding the device up in the air. "Luster!" In a flash of light, Kaiden's body glowed, he also jumped, thanks to his increase in power he went straight up into the sky as he changed along with his size altering as he transformed.

Ultraman Luster Brilliant Type!

Just as the worm was gonna crawl and go over to the direction of the city, something landed right on top of it. It was Ultraman Luster and upon feeling this threat, Madriusano tried to shake it off. But the Giant of Light kept a good grip.

Heck it also quickly escalated into somewhat of a bull riding scenario, the worm was trying to shake Luster off while he was holding onto a large back spike landing blow after blow on its back. But because its shell was so hard, his futile jabs weren't doing anything. It was getting annoyed and suddenly it stood up using its tail to make itself jump high into the air.

Luster was taken aback by this; he didn't think that the bug could be this nimble! In midair Madriusano shook it off and down the giant went crashing to the ground. Also moving out of the way as the bug landed too.

As he rolled away Luster's forehead crystal released an energy beam hitting the side of Madriusano getting a reaction out of it. Mostly it was anger turning around over to his direction as the giant charged going for a kick.

But as he did, Luster instantly regretted it hopping back a few times on one leg. It felt like he'd just kicked led! This kaiju's shell was hard! Really super hard. Madriusano even emitted light chirps, of amusement before it did the trick of standing up on its tail to fire more eye rays.

Luster saw this and jumped his hands glowed and they actually absorbed the attack. Right then a multicolored blast was fired from his chest crystals. This was Lusters, Collaboration Jacket.

The attack hit Madrisuano head on making the bug land on its back. Because of how heavy its back plating was, it was having a hard time moving. Luster moved in, but as he did the bug emitted a sonic pulse from its body knocking the giant of light back. Madriusano also flipped back to normal, spinning around to snarl at its foe.

Suddenly it jumped forward and started coiling around Luster, squeezing tightly. He gave off a loud cry of pain, feeling the crushing pressure as Madriusano's coils tightened around him. The Giant of Light struggled, his muscles straining against the kaiju's immense strength. He knew he had to act quickly before the pressure became too much.

With a burst of energy, Luster's body began to glow, his inner light intensifying. He focused his power, channeling it into his limbs. With a mighty effort, he pushed against Madriusano's coils, creating just enough space to maneuver.

Madriusano hissed in frustration, tightening its grip even more. But Luster was ready. He summoned his strength and unleashed a powerful energy pulse from his entire body. The shockwave blasted Madriusano's coils apart, sending the kaiju reeling backward.

Freed from the crushing embrace, Luster wasted no time. He dashed forward, his fists glowing with energy. He delivered a rapid series of punches to Madriusano's exposed underbelly, each strike landing with precision and force. The kaiju roared in pain, its body convulsing from the impact.

Madriusano retaliated with a swipe of its massive tail, but Luster was too quick. He leaped over the tail, flipping in midair and landing on his feet but wasn't quick enough to respond to Madriusano firing an electric attack from his horn sending Luster flying crashing into a small building which toppled over.

---

At the same too the Lunis's car pulled up, Ilana and Lance come out of the car. "How long until his energy will be depleted?" Lance questioned.

"At this rate, it won't be very long." Octus informed.

"Then let's not waste time..." Ilana said in a firm tone. "We need to help, now."

"Engage Symbiotic Titan."

(Insert Transformation Sequence.)

---

Back at the fight Luster was still having trouble with Madriusano as right now the worm was on the assault firing off more eye beams and Luster jumped doing a backflip, his right leg coated in energy, and all though its shell didn't crack the insect shrieked out in pain, showing it felt that.

The ultra went on to attack, but then, some sort of silk was sprayed from the insect's mandibles which got right into Luster's eyes, covering the top part of his face. It temporarily blinded him, while he was undergoing the effects, Madriusano started to dig, burrowing underground, disappearing from sight.

After tearing the silk off, Luster's vision came back to him, he looked around in confusion not realizing what'd happen. He didn't know now his foe lurked right underneath him, looking to strike. Soon enough it did.

Madriusano came bursting out of the ground and from the tip of its big front horn a bolt of energy fired hitting Luster square in the back making Luster give off a cry of pain.

While he stumbled his wormy foe landed back on the ground and the top three eyes glowed as lasers were blasted. In response Luster conjured up a barrier, alas Madrisuano gave off a screech as it added in more force as a fourth laser was fired joining in the attack adding in, even more power to its attack.

Eventually Luster's barrier had been shattered and he got sent flying. It took the initiative again, burrowing underground. The giant of light looked around for his foe patiently and cautiously moving, and then from the right, his buggish foe popped out of the ground to spray him with its silk coating his right leg, stuck in place.

Luster got back up onto his feet and started throwing a few hand slash's but the top three green eyes of Madrisuano glowed before three orange lasers firing intercepting his attacks. Afterwards it jumped forward tackling Luster back to the ground. Its larger body was heavy, and Luster was doing his best to try and get it off.

While this happened, Titan came flying in and kicked Madriusano off of its fellow fighter. The robot landed beside Luster, his presence a reassuring force. Without wasting a moment, Titan extended a hand, helping Luster back to his feet. The two heroes stood shoulder to shoulder, ready to face the kaiju that come.

Madriusano, now even more enraged, hissed, and Titan had made an ax materialize charging in, but the back set mandibles of Madriusano opened and began to spew out some sort of silk material. Titan tried to fight back, but the silk was too much to handle, especially at the way it was going, trying to swat it away, failing miserably staggering back as he was now literally stuck to a building like a spider that had trapped its prey.

Luster watched in alarm as Titan became ensnared by the sticky silk, pinned against the building. Madriusano turned its attention back to Luster, sensing an opportunity to eliminate one of its foes. The kaiju's eyes glowed menacingly as it prepared to launch another attack.

Quickly Luster fires off a series of hand slash's which got the worms attention. The insect hissed and stood up using the back end of its tail to fire off four joined lasers from its eyes. In response Luster created a barrier and as he did Madriusano jumped again and this time burrowed under ground.

Luster watched in alarm as Titan became ensnared by the sticky silk, pinned against the building. Madriusano turned its attention back to Luster, sensing an opportunity to eliminate one of its foes. The kaiju's eyes glowed menacingly as it prepared to launch another attack.

Luster knew he had to act quickly. But this foe wouldn't let him so easily help his ally. His mind raced as he tried to devise a plan to free Titan while keeping Madriusano at bay. The ground trembled again, signaling the kaiju's imminent return. Luster braced himself, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of movement.

Suddenly, Madriusano erupted from the ground directly beneath Luster, its jaws snapping shut just inches from his legs. Luster leaped into the air, narrowly avoiding the attack. He landed a few meters away, his hands glowing with energy as he prepared to counter.

Madriusano lunged at him, but Luster was ready. He fired a series of rapid energy blasts, each one striking the kaiju's armored hide. The impacts Madriusano his in annoyance and momentarily retreat. Seizing the opportunity, Luster dashed towards Titan.

With a swift motion, Luster slashed through the silk with a hand swipe coated in energy. The bindings on Titan loosened and he was able to move. Titan nodded in gratitude, quickly regaining his stance. The two heroes stood side by side once more, ready to face Madriusano together as it came back above ground.

Madriusano, now even more enraged, hissed and charged at them with renewed fury. Titan and Luster moved in perfect sync. But alas, their attacks were hardly doing anything, this creature's armor was strong, like a thick layer of extra protection. Even Titan made a war hammer swinging it down, but it didn't help, instead it bounced off and the worm side bashed itself to Titan and fired a close range three eye ray at Luster in which the giant had managed to back flip avoiding the attack.

Just as he landed, Luster's forehead crystal started to beep, that indicated he didn't have much time left. This thing was tough, but they needed more to exterminate the bug. Luckily, he had just what they needed.

Inside of his inner light Kaiden scrolled through the Esper Grazer landing on the image of the second spirit.

Ultraman Nidus

Spirit Surge! Fortitude!

Kaiden swung the Esper Grazer sideways to the right as it gave off orange and red energy. "Valor of the warrior fight! Luster!" He held it up high above his head with his body becoming enveloped in energy.

Luster comes into view his body now becoming coated with the same energy as Kaiden was.

Ultraman Luster: Might Type

---

Holding his arms together, Lusters body changed, two purple crystal shards embedded into the front of his armor changed bright light red, the blue streaks were now orange, while the red streaks remained.

Once he was in much more psychical form Luster charged his right fist glowing. Seeing this Madriusano went back underground to avoid the ultra's attack.

Luster looked around but then paused, he had to calm down and anticipate Madriusano's next move. The kaiju's burrowing tactics were becoming more predictable, and Luster knew he had to outmaneuver it.

He stood still in place, he had to focus, feel it, sense it. tuning into the vibrations of the earth. He could feel the subtle shifts and movements beneath him, sensing Madriusano's approach. The ground trembled slightly, signaling the kaiju's imminent attack.

Suddenly, the ground erupted as Madriusano burst forth, aiming to catch Luster off guard. But Luster was ready. With a swift motion, he sidestepped the attack, his glowing fist striking Madriusano's exposed side with incredible force. The impact sent the kaiju reeling, its armored hide cracking under the pressure.

With a swift motion, he sidestepped the attack, his glowing fist striking Madriusano's exposed side with incredible force. The impact sent the kaiju reeling, its armored hide cracking under the pressure. He then grabbed Madriusano's tail and started to spin it around.

Luster's grip tightened around Madriusano's tail as he spun the kaiju around with incredible speed. The ground shook from the force, and debris flew in all directions. Madriusano screeched in panic, its body flailing helplessly.

With a final, powerful swing, Luster released Madriusano, sending the kaiju straight into the air. After he did, Luster made his Nida Slugger appear.

As Madriusano soared through the air, Luster pressing the button in the grip making the weapon glow bright orange. Luster didn't waist anymore time, throwing the slugger forward hurling it towards Madriusano for a decisive strike. The kaiju, disoriented and vulnerable, flailed helplessly as it descended.

Lusters attack slashing the blade across Madriusano's exposed underbelly. The energy-infused strike cut through the kaiju's tough armor, leaving a trail of sparks and a deep gash.

Madriusano screeched in agony, its body convulsing from the impact. As it did, Titan, seeing the opportunity, materialized a sword gripping it tightly charging forward to deliver the final blow.

Swinging his sword Titan cut Madriusano in half rushing past it while the parts of the kaiju erupted into a massive explosion signaling the end of the battle. This opposing monster had been defeated, both Titan and Luster stood victoriously as the Nida Slugger flew back into its wielders hand.

Hours go by and already construction crews were doing their fullest pouring in loads and loads of concrete to fill in the holes that were left by Madriusano. That area was gonna be easy, but no less difficult, however given in the recent years the production of concrete and even special kinds were made for these kinds of situations. It'd only take a few days for the holes to be filled and repaired.

When Kaiden got home, his cousin gave him his present, the milkshake he ordered. He kind knew she took a sip but didn't mind. He enjoyed it and savored it as did everyone else, taking it as their reward for a job well done.

Another kaiju had come through the rift gate, and another one scratched out of commission.

Of course, by now time we see Dally in her true form standing alongside Octus, and the technology that was in there. She was marveling at what she see's before her. "I honestly have not seen technology like this before...And this all comes from your body structure?"

"Correct."

She hummed trying to point out the one she was looking for. "Which one of these detects a creature emerging from...this Rift gate you talk about?"

"This one right here." He pointed him to the one she was looking for. "I put this here when first moved in."

"Smart. it took me at least a week to set up where I was at."

"Did you salvage the ship you were on?"

"Yeah, but not very much. I had to focus on making sure the reader that traced Inpearlizer still worked. That took a lot of priority..." She hummed in thought. "But...now that its gone. Perhaps it can be reconfigured..."

"How so?"

"Well, Earth is no stranger to kaiju as it is right? So maybe, we can further update your systems to not only detecting the creatures arrival, but...other odd anomalies."

"Out of curiosity Dally, through your experience do you know if other races have perfected the use of teleportation technology?"

"Oh yes, a few many advanced civilizations have achieved it. Not all. Only a small handful."

"Do you think it's possible we can construct one of our own?"

"It is possible..." Dally admitted. "However, most of Earth's tech is considered obsolete. But...if me, Ilana and Lance are on Earth, then its safe to wonder if there are possibly other aliens in hiding living here on Earth...I'm sure of it."

"That's very good to know. Do you think that you can send a signal to try and communicate with other off worlders?"

"I can try...no promises though. They'll be hesitant to comply. " Dally nodded, in her voice, it was filled with resolve. "But, even so with possible luck we can manage. I don't want to just stand on the sidelines. I want to contribute, to make a difference. If there's anyways, I can help us protect this world and all of you, then I'm in."

"Very well." Octus accepted the offer. "But don't overexert yourself."

"I won't..." She pondered in thought before gaining an idea. "I still have some old schematics located with my belongings...If I bring it here can that help?"

"Yes, it should."

"Alright I'll go get it." Dally proceeds to exit out of the room and as she was going she ran into Lance? This was kind of unexpected. Now that his presence was known, he looked over to her, looking heavily unsure and hesitant.

"Um...I just...want to say..." Evidently from this interaction and the way he talked, Lance wasn't used to doing this. Not every often, because others never really did to him. Only a small handful. As he was gonna say it Dally patted him on the arm shaking her head.

"You don't need to say you're sorry...I'm perfectly fine with that." Lance was surprised, but quickly Dally explained her reason. "I think I'd rather work hard to earn your trust, so, don't sweat it alright?"

As she walked, he stood there stunned. Work hard to earn his trust? Lance has never heard anyone say that before. In his past experience, others demanded trust and respect because of their background, others because they were his superior officers.

This was different, he absolutely didn't trust her despite what they were all told. The one who he didn't trust, was gonna earn his. Maybe he was wrong about her, she wasn't doing any of this because there was something to gain. She wasn't doing it for revenge, she was doing for the right reason. No matter how hard Lance tried, he couldn't feel anything, no lies or ill intent.

Dally wanted to earn his trust...perhaps already she has.

Back at G3 HQ all the heads were back at the meeting room. A few hours ago they had to decide and make a vote. But when the new kaiju appeared they had to stop, luckily for them they didn't need to deploy their forces, Ultraman Luster and Titan had already dealt with the threat.

But now that was done, they came back to hear the results waiting for Solomon to give them the results. "Well?" Nikolai was the one to ask. "Were waiting?"

Solomon read the results. "Let it be known here that the decision has been made. With a total of four against two, The M.G Restoration Project is now back into effect." With that made Solomon turned over to their head of science and technology. "And right now, you've been issued with direct orders to resume working on it."

"A few years late and so sudden..." Hearing this the smaller male sighed. "Alright, I hear ya loud and clear..." Luckily for him, they had a lot more better tech then they did at the time so with a bit overnight work, and a boatload of caffeine it'll be done, one way or another.

"Nikolai, I need to start picking out candidates for piloting."

"Oh?" He went into thinking, a lot of those who he has mentored and disciplined had potential. But this would be a lot more different than simulations on fighter jets and other weapons in their arsenal. "So, I get permission to double my regiment to work harder? Alright. I'll see what I can whip up."

"Mina, continue on as normal. But we need to recruit more for our medical division."

"Yes sir."

"Dismissed." With the call given everyone stands up and salutes, leaving the room one by one. Among them was Celestine, and as she was on her way out, Solomone called out to her. "Celestine..." The visored woman turned to face him. "Don't make me regret this." She nodded in response.

"Believe me, the feeling is very much mutual, Solomon." She replied back

To be continued

Now replying back to reviewers

gabeherndon308. Thank you.

. Thanks.

23debal01akabright-rider. I'll think about it.

54godamora. Super happy to hear you liked the last chapter, and hope you like this chapter as well. As for your guesses on kaiju, yep on Gan Q. Not so much for Barabas😝As for Imperalizer, well evidently they changed the name to Inpelaizer ️ And I wish there was an enclopedia on ultra kaiju too! As for the rest, of the chapter hope you enjoyed it.

Pinkflamingwarriorofjustice: That'd be a neat idea.

MWSeraph: Hell yeah man, and trust me feelings mutual there on tag teaming

Marbled Gold. I'm sure others feel the same way as you do friend, glad you're enjoying it

Miguel: Eh...honestly I am tempted but at the same time not to much.

Null Nui: Thank you, and honestly can't help but wonder if they ever would do more alien allies. There's so many it's hard to choose from, I just lucked out on settling to use a Dada, was tempted to use an Alien Zetton, but decided to go for one that stands out more. Hence is how Dally came to be.
