Chapter 7: The Rim of the Pacific, Ultraman's Aid!
"commander."
Raleigh stood in the control room with his elbows crossed, watching Commander Stark pace back and forth.
"No, you wait here."
Stark looked at Raleigh and still chose to stick to his previous decision. In his opinion, Raleigh and Mori Mako were not ready for battle!
Raleigh and Mori Mako exchanged a glance, then looked back at the big screen.
"Alright, so-called chat group, let me see what you're capable of. Crimson Storm and Cherno Alpha can't afford to lose any troops here..."
Raleigh took a deep breath, reflecting on the days since he joined the chat group.
At the time, he was working on a construction site in Alaska, and every day he was either so tired that he fell asleep, or he would get drunk while holding a bottle of liquor.
But he didn't do nothing either; at least he became familiar with Spider-Man, and he even told Peter Parker some plot details about him.
Peter Parker also found some information about "Pacific Rim" online.
However, Raleigh hadn't looked at them properly until a few days ago when Stark personally came to invite him back, at which point he dug out those chat logs.
He saw information about the defeats of "Crimson Storm" and "Cherno Alpha".
They witnessed the mechs, which should have shone brightly, being destroyed by the monsters through a sneak attack due to their lack of skill and outdated information!
He wanted to change that, so he trained very hard and tried very hard to comfort Mori Asako.
But the effect is...
There is a little bit, but not much.
No matter how hard he trains, or how well he and Mori Mako are in sync, they will never be allowed to play if Mori Mako fails to overcome her inner conflict!
This meant that when that day came, he could only stand there and watch!
So he opened the chat group and sought help from "Young Warrior of the Land of Light," who had become the group's administrator!
At the very least, we must not let these true heroes fall at the hands of those despicable monsters!
On the sea.
Storm Crimson confronts Tail-Standing Rat head-on.
The huge and agile monster suddenly leaped out of the water and swung its tail, knocking down the blasting crimson creature in front of it.
But soon, Crimson Storm stood up again, its two right arms transforming into wildly spinning saws, rapidly slashing and cutting at Tail-Standing Rat.
Tail-Standing Rat stood on its own two feet to dodge, then grabbed Storm Crimson, preparing to twist its arms off.
However, Crimson Storm exerted its strength once again, competing with it while using its boosters to lift itself into the air and press down with its own weight.
Unable to cope, Tail-Standing Rat had no choice but to abandon the idea of twisting off Storm Crimson's arms and instead try to throw the opponent away.
However, Crimson Storm had already turned its body and, using a technique of using minimal force to deflect maximum force, suddenly swung the Tail-Standing Rat up!
Meanwhile, Cherno Alpha rushed forward and grabbed the tailed rat as it fell into the water and tried to retaliate, immediately launching a barrage of punches.
Boom!
"squeak!"
The tailed rat made a sound and struggled to shake off the Cerno Alpha.
At the same time, the lurking ridge turtle appeared from behind the Cherno Alpha and grabbed the Russian-made mech!
Boom!
The Cherno Alpha was instantly and severely damaged, and then the ridge-backed turtle dived back into the sea.
"Watch out! The Chernobog has been severely damaged and is currently undergoing repairs!"
"Crimson Storm, retreat and defend!"
The two Russian pilots on the Cherno Alfa immediately ordered the Crimson Storm to retreat.
But at this moment, the Crimson Storm had nowhere left to retreat; it was blocked by the Tail-Standing Rat!
Beneath the surface of the sea, a shadow was rapidly approaching!
Just as Crimson Storm was entangled by Tail-Standing Rat again, Ridgeback Turtle suddenly leaped out of the water and pounced on Crimson Storm's back!
"Oh no... my dear group admin, are you coming or not?"
Luo Li opened the chat group and tagged Lin Lu.
"I'm here. It took me a while to investigate."
Lin Lu replied to him in the chat group, and at the same time, two bright lights suddenly burst forth under the cover of night!
"What is this?!"
A burst of intense light illuminated not only the entire bay in an instant, but also half of Hong Kong, turning it into daylight!
The intense light was like dozens of flashbangs being thrown at everyone's faces at the same time, followed by hundreds of flares being thrown into the sky!
Almost simultaneously, everyone looking towards the bay saw their vision turn into a vast expanse of white.
Strangely, the intense light did not damage their eyesight.
Instead, they adapted in just a short while.
Oh no, it's not that they adapted, but that the light contracted inward!
"What is that...?"
When the light subsided and everything returned to its previous state, everyone saw the source of the light.
With its red body, silver accents, and those striking horns, it was a giant radiating light!
"What is this?"
"Where did he come from?"
"A new monster?"
Inside the command center, everyone stood up, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
Even Stark's eyes widened, and his fists clenched tightly.
"Father of ウルトラの......"
Just then, a Japanese voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
The previously noisy command room fell silent instantly, and everyone turned their attention to Mori Mako, who was standing next to Raleigh.
"Pockmarked girl, what did you say?" Steker turned to look at his adopted daughter.
"Ultra's father," Mori Asako said, pointing to the giant that had appeared. "That's a character from a Japanese tokusatsu drama!"
"Translated, it means Father of Ultra, that's Ultraman!"
"Ultraman? How is that possible?"
"Isn't that something from a fantasy?"
"What on earth is going on?!"
The command center erupted in another series of incredulous exclamations.
Men are young until they die.
Everyone here is an elite in their respective fields, but they were all once children who watched tokusatsu dramas.
However, the wars and high-pressure environments of recent years have made them forget the joy they once had, so they failed to recognize Father of Ultra at first glance.
Now, thanks to Mori Asako's reminder, everyone remembered.
"So, is he here to help us?" Steker asked Mori Mako.
"I don't know." Mori Asako shook her head.
"But if he really is Ultraman, then he must have come to save us!"
This wasn't said by Mori Asako, but by Raleigh, who was standing next to her.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Raleigh shrugged and said, "Why are you looking at me? Who hasn't seen Ultraman?"
"As Mako Mori said it herself, he's the Father of Ultra, the captain of the Space Garrison!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked out the window and then at the projection on the large screen inside the base.
Only then did they realize that after the light subsided, the two Kaiju had disappeared!
The moment they appeared, Father of Ultra saved their two "Jaeger" mechs!
Stark glanced at Ken, who stood with his hands on his hips, and muttered, "Perhaps he really really did come to rescue us!"
