"Oh my God, this..." The Ultra Brothers gazed at Phoenix Mebius on the battlefield, all of them amazed to see this form appear again.
Even though they, too, had forged deep bonds with humans, they could hardly imagine how GUYS's power had crossed thousands of years to return to Mebius and Hikari.
But they soon understood.
After Mebius and Hikari, Ultraman's consciousness was the first to leave the battlefield.
Ultraman took on Hayata Shin's appearance, finding himself in a space filled with golden light.
"Is this humanity's light?" He felt the light wash over him, immensely comforting.
"So Mebius and Hikari entered a space like this?"
The golden light before him gradually coalesced into five figures.
"Could it be?!"
"Ultraman." A voice rang out first.
And Ultraman could never mistake that voice.
"Hayata?!"
The five figures before him gradually revealed themselves.
They all wore pale orange uniforms bearing star-shaped badges.
Hayata Shin, Daisuke Arashi, Mitsuhiro Ide, Akiko Fuji, and Toshio Muramatsu.
His comrades from the Science Special Search Party stood before him together.
"Hayata, it's been so many years..." Seeing the comrades he had been separated from for thousands of years, Ultraman struggled to put his feelings into words.
He had come to love humanity and become the first Ultra Warrior to forge a bond with humans thanks to all the moments he had shared with the Science Special Search Party.
"I told you ages ago! Hayata was Ultraman!" Ide laughed as he stepped forward and patted Ultraman on the shoulder.
Arashi said, "No wonder Hayata disappeared every time things got critical. My suspicions back then were right after all."
Looking at Captain Muramatsu, Ultraman asked the question he had buried deep in his heart. "You figured out the truth about Hayata and me a long time ago, didn't you?"
