Ultraman Arbitrary Key: Dawn

"Should we try to contact Makoto Aizen?" Emi asked as the car pulled up to the Aizen Tech building.

Qi Ming replied, "It's not time yet. We need to wait for an 'opportunity'."

Three days later, Ororon Island.

This was a small island formed by an undersea volcanic eruption. From high above, it resembled a giant turtle.

Many years ago, two ancient turtle eggs, buried deep underground, were freed from pressure by an earthquake and leaped to the surface.

After hatching, the two turtles grew to be enormous.

Residents of nearby islands called these two ancient turtles the "Turtle King" and the "Turtle Queen."

They roamed the tranquil waters of Ororon Island, living peacefully alongside the local inhabitants, never interfering with each other.

Recently, a Japanese man named Kurosaki learned of this and assembled a capture team, intending to capture the giant turtles alive.

They chose the turtles' egg-laying season, waiting for the Turtle Queen to come ashore to lay her eggs.

That night, under a bright moon, the Turtle Queen dug a hole in the sand and painfully laid her eggs, tears of blood streaming down her face from the pain.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Kurosaki gestured to his capture team to prepare.

He walked towards the Turtle Queen with his deputy, instructing him, "The turtle laying eggs will be very docile. Get as close as possible."

At this moment, the Turtle Queen let out a mournful cry, startling Kurosaki's deputy.

Kurosaki asked, "What is it?"

The deputy replied, "It's begging us to let it go."

Kurosaki roared, "You damn fool! We've waited months for this! It's just an animal, shoot it!"

The deputy pulled the trigger, and a large, sharp tranquilizer dart shot out, piercing the Turtle Queen's neck.

Hit in a vital spot, the Turtle Queen let out a wail of pain. However, she was too weak after laying her eggs to fight back.

She could only endure the excruciating pain, bury her eggs with sand, and then struggle towards the sea to escape.

"Turn on the lights!" Kurosaki shouted. The capture team aimed powerful searchlights at the Turtle Queen's eyes.

Temporarily blinded by the intense light, the Turtle Queen panicked further. Simultaneously, the tranquilizer began to take effect, making her feel weak.

Kurosaki rejoiced, "Cast the net, quickly!"

The other capture team members immediately complied. They were seasoned professionals and naturally disdained notions of "animism," viewing the turtles as mere beasts.

"Bang!" A sturdy net shot out, covering the Turtle Queen. She convulsed in pain, but after just laying her eggs, she was incredibly weak and unable to break free.

"Splash!" The water surface broke, and an even larger turtle appeared – the Turtle King!

Kurosaki was not surprised but delighted. "The Turtle King! Capture him too!"

Another large tranquilizer dart was fired, piercing the Turtle King's neck. He too convulsed in pain.

The capture team cast their nets again, but the Turtle King, relying on his immense size and strength, managed to break free, narrowly escaping.

The tranquilizer took full effect. The Turtle Queen was unable to move, and the Turtle King gradually lost sensation in his limbs and body, unable to tear through the net holding his mate.

As dawn broke, the capture team dug out the eggs the Turtle Queen had just laid.

Due to the attack, the Turtle Queen had exerted too much force while burying her eggs, causing one to break. However, the other four eggs were intact.

Kurosaki was very satisfied with the haul. He and his capture team boarded a pre-arranged large ship, dragging the Turtle Queen back to Japan.

"Cheers!" That night, Kurosaki frequently raised his glass with the captain and the first mate.

The captain, curious, asked him what he planned to do with such a large monster being transported back to Japan.

Kurosaki replied, "I'm planning to hold a monster exhibition. Just displaying it will draw people not only from Japan but from all over the world. Then, we can train it for performances."

The captain said, "I see. You'll become billionaires then."

Kurosaki waved his hand modestly, but the smugness on his face was undeniable.

"I hope so. Come, let's all drink heartily, today is the happiest day!"

At that moment, his deputy brought over a soup made from the turtle eggs.

"Gentlemen, you won't find such wild game on any menu in the world. It's priceless."

"Come, everyone, let's enjoy!"

After drinking, the capture team and the crew felt refreshed, considering it the ultimate delicacy.

The Turtle Queen, being dragged behind the ship, had her eyes glowing red. She had witnessed it all.

Her unborn children had been eaten by these humans!

Fueled by rage, she began to struggle violently, causing chaos and panic on the ship.

"How is this possible? Did the tranquilizer wear off?"

"It shouldn't be able to move for another three days!"

"Captain, a cargo ship registered in Japan called the 'Fourth Sakura Maru' was attacked by a giant sea turtle, located 6 kilometers southeast of Kozushima Island."

On the Defense Team's side, Emi immediately received the news.

"What!" Qi Ming quickly asked for clarification.

Orolon Island, Turtle King and Turtle Queen, laying eggs, captured by humans.

This is the giant turtle monster Tatas King and the giant turtle monster Tatas Queen from episodes 4, "The Giant Sea Turtle Monster Attacks Tokyo," and 5, "Parent and Child Star, The Brightest Star," of "Taro Ultraman."

"A great opportunity. Not only can I avoid the tragedy from the original story, but I can also use this chance to control Makoto Aizen. I must seize this," Qi Ming thought to himself.
