"So... that giant is your dad?" Asuka pestered Zero at home.
"Yeah. His name's Ultraseven, the third of the Ultra Brothers. He used to be a Stellar Observer. Why?"
"How did he come up with a training method as insane as chasing people with a Jeep...?" Asuka gritted her teeth at the thought.
"I didn't know a thing when he came up with that training regimen. Later, I asked my master, but all I got for my trouble was a punch." Zero rubbed his head. He was starting to feel phantom pain.
"And what was that giant mechanical bird that helped us? Was it a robot Mr. Ultraseven built?" Rei asked curiously.
"He's not a robot. He's a silicon-based life-form from Melta Star in the M78 Nebula. I've been there. It's full of Windoms," Zero explained.
"We of the Ultra Race also tame gentle monsters. In your terms, we keep pets."
"If a tame monster has exceptional combat talent and is a particularly good match for an Ultra Warrior, the Universe Technology Bureau makes a monster capsule for that warrior. The Ultra Warrior can put the monster inside the capsule and release them to fight when needed. That's what a Capsule Monster is."
"My dad has three Capsule Monsters. Besides Windom, there's Agira from Animal Star and Miclas from Buffalo Star."
"They look like this." With that, Zero created an illusion showing them Ultraseven training his Capsule Monsters.
"Cute, right?"
"They're the strongest of their respective species. My father earned their respect in battle, and that's why they fight alongside him."
"Isn't that a dinosaur?" Asuka stared at Agira in surprise.
"There's an awful lot in the universe that humans don't know about."
"By the way, your dad's red, so why are you red and blue? Is your mom..." Misato
