Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

Captain Iruma Kei left the command room first because he was uneasy.

Just now, the analysis image of the monster was played on the big screen. It can be clearly seen that the demon bird is similar to Golzan, Melba and others that appeared before. Its skin is like rotten stone with holes. I'm afraid they all belong to the same race - or are products of the same era.

In the corridor, Iruma Kei lowered her head slightly and placed one hand on the side of her head, walking slowly. For some reason, the uneasiness rising in her heart could not be calmed down, as if it was not mental stress, but physiological uneasiness.

Suddenly, a man walked quickly in front of her. Iruma Hui looked up and found that the man was wearing a brown coat, not any common work uniform, and was walking forward with big strides.

"and many more!"

Iruma Hui shouted and ran out, but the man did not stop, but quickly turned a corner. Iruma Hui chased after him, and after turning the corner, he found that the man opposite was standing still.

"who are you?"

Iruma Hui said with caution. At this time, the man turned around and when he saw the man's face, Iruma Hui was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment.

Because that person had a face exactly like Iruma Kei.

Her clothes became blurred like dots on a TV, and then turned into a white dress. The person who had the same face as Iruma Kei spoke.

"The dark monster with insect wings, the evil wings that burned the earth to ashes, Zoga has awakened."

"you--"

"Zoga is a follower of the [Great Dark Man]. When Zoga burns the world to ashes, the [Great Dark Man] will wake up and seal the world in the darkness of extinction."

The person who could say such words could not be Megumi Iruma himself. Instead, it seemed more like You Shalei (You Lian) in the ancient program.

But at this moment, Iruma Hui also realized that the person standing in front of him was not the real Youshalei, but was actually created from Iruma Hui's brain. However, this false illusion actually conveyed information to Iruma Hui himself from the [unconscious], just like humans protect themselves when they are in danger of death.

(To avoid misunderstanding, I would like to emphasize that the explanation of the appearance of Youshalei's phantom here comes from Chiaki Kozaki's own novel, not my own creation.)

"Is this something that has happened before, or is it a prophecy of the future, Captain of the Earth Guard?"

However, even though he realized this, Iruma Kei still asked.

Humans didn't even exist 3000 million years ago. Iruma Kei didn't know why phantoms emerged from his subconscious, but knowing a little more information now was a priceless reward.

This time, Youshalei changed from Iruma Hui's own appearance to Youshalei's appearance.

"I'm just a program, I can't predict the future."

"But......"

The phantom disappeared in front of Captain Iruma Hui. Iruma Hui took a step forward to chase it, but only one step because she knew it was useless to chase it.

"The monster is Zoga..."

Iruma Kei murmured, and her voice fell to the ground.

"They are the followers of the huge dark man..."

.

"The White Snow uses some of the Max power system's technology, but that means it can't load too much of the attack aircraft's capabilities. There are only four super needle missiles, and any more will be ineffective."

"It doesn't matter. I just hope it can fly faster and higher. Otherwise, there's no way to defeat the monster."

"--I see."

"Please allow the Snow White to depart."

Zoga appears again. This time, in order to deal with Zoga's ability to appear, it is decided to use the Snow White. The pilot is of course the ace pilot Lina. At this time, she is quickly checking various parts in the cockpit, and the manager says through the radio.

"Snow White, hatch open."

The Snow White can be operated by two persons, and when Lina looked back, she saw Daigu sliding into the cockpit.

"Sorry to bother you. Lina, please focus on driving. I'll do the shooting."

"..."

Zoga's flying ability can only be admired.

Even if Victory Swallow II waited in advance on the predicted orbit and used the Texas cannon to aim, it could not hit Zoga. The demon bird with insect wings easily avoided the attack of the Texas cannon.

"Damn, this guy is so flexible!"

"From now on, I can only leave it to Lina and Daigu..."

The Snow White was equipped with the Max power system, and its name Snow White became a metaphorical reality. The dazzling light bursting out from the thrusters pushed Snow White to chase Zoga.

Zoga spit out a blood-red light bullet at the approaching Bai Xue, but Lina remained calm and dodged the attack with a very small change in trajectory while concentrating fully, while aiming at Zoga within range.

"Now!"

"understand!"

The super needle-shaped missile loaded by the Snow White was fired by Riku and hit Zoga, but it did not cause significant damage to Zoga.

This monster, similar to Golzan and Melba, has a body structure that allows it to ignore normal attacks, and its attack on the Snow White is also very powerful.

The attacked Zoga seemed to have avoided the attack last time it entered the ionosphere, and began to rise rapidly, while the Snow White also climbed at a 45-degree angle to pursue it.

"Lina, the Snow White doesn't have the equipment to escape the atmosphere!"

Lina ignored the remark.

Tetsuji Yoshioka, who was watching the condition of the machine in the command room, also looked unhappy: "It's too dangerous, call her back!"

Chasing the magic bird, the light around the Snow White gradually changed from azure to dark, and the thin air made the light gradually become thinner, which indicated that the Snow White was gradually leaving the earth.

Lina murmured to herself.

"A little higher..."

Da Gu seemed confused by Lina like this.

"What's wrong with you? Tell me."

"——Dagu is the one, why, why didn't you tell me?"

"What--"

"Why do you have to bear it alone? Does that mean that Tiga has the obligation to take on the responsibility of protecting the Earth alone...!?"

"........."

As they were about to leave the atmosphere, Da Gu remained silent.

Lina was saying and confiding something, and Dagu understood. It was better to say that he had thought about this scene many times before, but when he really faced it, he couldn't say a word.

"You have been fighting alone all this time. Don't you think it's unreasonable?!"

"——Lina..."

Lina's voice was tearful and she tried hard to suppress her sobs.

"If I could...I would also like to become light...become light...fly higher..."

“… It’s not an obligation because I’m human and I’m just doing what I can do.”

Da Gu said with gentle words.

"I can't see behind me right now - so please change."

Lina's face was soaked with tears.

Lina's words contained the utmost consideration and tenderness for Dagu.

The Snow White flew higher and higher, and Da Gu took out the magic stick from his chest.

"——You can also become light, you can too."

The moment after that, Lina couldn't help but close her eyes, but even with her eyes closed, the strong light coming from behind could still be felt through her eyes.

As the light gradually disappeared, Lina opened her eyes.

Lina couldn't help but look up and out the driver's window.

——Ultraman Tiga is flying with the Snow White in his arms.
