AI Darling: "As for the giant turtles, according to the latest news, Japan's Defense Force has dispatched warships to destroy the giant turtles on Ororon Island."
"Nani?!" Makoto Aizen's voice made the entire office tremble.
Darling said, "The reason is that the giant turtles have not only killed people, but will also prevent warships and submarines from setting sail safely and interfere with drills."
Makoto Aizen said, "Those are all excuses cooked up by villains!"
He took out the Spinning Flash. "They even want to kill my precious turtles. This is no ordinary Defense Force—they need a heavy punch!"
Elsewhere, although Qi Ming had spoken with absolute certainty, Mamoru Shirogane still did not dare make a move.
In his view, the Defense Force and TPC were allies protecting Earth's peace. Though there were occasional frictions, they were still aligned on the larger picture.
But once they opened fire head-on, the nature of the matter would become serious. It would only let alien invaders reap the benefits.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The next moment, eight warships fired simultaneously, their devastating shells hurtling toward the giant turtles on the beach.
In the original series, the two giant turtles could not fight back because they had to protect their eggs. They could only endure the bombardment.
They first stood up and shielded their family with their bodies, then finally clung helplessly to each other.
Mamoru Shirogane said, "All right. I'll use Ultra Telekinesis to sink those shells to the seafloor."
Qi Ming said, "It's useless. Their warships are fully stocked with ammunition. How many volleys can you stop? Unless you sink the warships to the bottom of the sea, this will never end."
He turned the Transformation Device, preparing to transform.
"Whoosh!" A figure raced over from the horizon.
It was Bogar! The huge commotion and energy fluctuations had drawn it here!
It spread its wings and swallowed all the shells, but its body soon began to tremble.
Apparently, that energy was not easy to digest.
The next moment, the enraged Bogar dove like an eagle toward the eight warships.
It sank the warship in the middle, then, like the monkey-eating hawk from Black Cat Detective, plucked the people out from inside and swallowed them whole.
"Not good, it's a monster!"
"What a powerful monster! Open fire!"
The remaining seven warships hurriedly turned their guns, but their attacks did not even faze Bogar.
Inside Falcon 1, Qi Ming said, "How strange. Weren't they here to fight monsters? Why are they so scared after changing targets?"
It seemed they were just a bunch who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Mamoru Shirogane said, "Is this the time for sarcasm? Transform already!"
Qi Ming said, "The subscriber you have dialed is outside the service area. Please try again later."
In his eyes, Japan's Defense Force in this world reeked of militarism. Killing them all would harm innocents, but killing only half would definitely leave some behind.
Then I'll just idle for a while. Sometimes, not stepping in is a form of kindness.
"You!" Mamoru Shirogane was furious at Qi Ming for standing by and doing nothing, yet there was nothing he could do.
Their time together had made him understand that Qi Ming was an extremely opinionated person. Once he had made up his mind, no one could persuade him otherwise.
He wanted to help, but Qi Ming pressed a hand onto his shoulder and stopped him from moving recklessly. "There seem to be a little too many Defense Force personnel. That wouldn't be good."
"Bang!" Before long, Bogar had sunk all the warships. Some people were eaten by it, while others jumped into the sea to escape.
After dealing with those people, Bogar turned and looked toward the two giant turtles on Ororon Island's beach.
The Turtle King and Turtle Queen had felt nothing when eight warships had trained their cannons on them, but they became tense at once.
The Turtle King shielded the Turtle Queen behind him, while the Turtle Queen shielded the four turtle eggs behind her.
"Planning to eat the Turtle King and Turtle Queen? Let's settle the score for your sneak attack on me last time, Gaia!" Qi Ming turned the Transformation Device again, then pressed it.
"Whoosh!" A streak of red light blossomed in the air as Ultraman Gaia appeared once more!
He crashed heavily into the sea, stirring up towering waves as he shielded the giant turtles behind him.
"Woo..." Seeing Gaia, the two giant turtles calmed down greatly and were no longer so afraid.
"Roar!" Bogar lunged without a word, moving so fast it became an afterimage.
It wanted to finish what it had failed to do last time—swallow Gaia!
"In a one-on-one fight, you're only fit to be my punching bag!"
Qi Ming spun and launched a flying side kick into Bogar's abdomen, nearly knocking it flat. Its opening assault had been met with Gaia's crushing counterattack.
Bogar's physical abilities were exceptional. It immediately recovered, beat its wings, and drove a high flying kick straight at Gaia's face.
Qi Ming leaned back to evade it, then the instant Bogar landed, he smashed its head with a straight right before swiftly following with a left hook.
Bogar took the first blow head-on, then barely staggered back and dodged the second.
Qi Ming immediately followed with a high roundhouse kick at its head, but Bogar raised an arm to block it.
From then on, Bogar was forced into a passive defensive position.
Seizing the chance, Qi Ming locked both hands around its neck and immediately drove his left knee into Bogar's abdomen.
As his left leg came down and his right knee was about to rise, Bogar instinctively raised its hands to block the knee strike.
"Just as I thought, you're another simple-minded brute. If you bent forward and braced with your arms, you could still block it by limiting the space for my knee strike."
"But if you just raise your hands, doesn't that leave your entire upper body wide open?"
Qi Ming immediately switched to an elbow strike and smashed Bogar's head, leaving it seeing stars.
From the beginning of the fight until now, Gaia had completely overwhelmed Bogar in a one-sided beatdown. This was well within Qi Ming's expectations.
In the original Mebius Ultraman, Bogar was no weaker than Mebius or Hikari in strength, speed, or psychic powers. Whenever it faced massive monsters, it could always overpower and devour them with brute force.
But it lacked fighting technique and was often caught off guard by Mebius's combo attacks.
Mebius in his normal state was roughly as powerful as Gaia V1. If Mebius could do it, there was no reason I, Qi Ming, could not do it better.
"Whoosh..." At that moment, a rainbow-like mass of light raced over from the horizon and surged toward the Turtle King and Turtle Queen.
"It's the Light Virus!" Mamoru Shirogane fired the Spike Cannon, but that kind of energy was completely ineffective against the Chaos Virus.
