Chapter 2 - Part 1

"We'll meet again!" when the speak of aggressive man ended, the spot of light had begun to emerge. Slightly changing the eternal darkness and emptiness to million stars with endless possibilities. Hopes, desires and dreams they were under the unfathomable darkness.

Far away by the million light years there is one beautiful planet that full with lives. Its name is "Earth" the blue planet flashing with the power of lives. No matter in what universe it can't be ignored.

Institute of Astronomical Sciences Tokyo Japan 2026

A group of scientists working in their lab to observe abnormalities in outer space. As they're working, they can detect the mysterious object with 3 million light years distance and forecasting the movement of it.

Male scientist: Sir, we detected the mysterious object! Seems like it's coming to Earth.

Female scientist: It comes with a fast speed and it can enter our solar system.

Chief scientist: catch an eye on that thing it could be just an asteroid, but if the emergency occur just call me.

Both: Yes sir!

Suddenly a cluster of dark smoke appeared and covered that thing and it was finally vanished away. Two scientists were flabbergasted.

Female scientist: No way...it couldn't be...

Male scientist: Wait! Something's appearing instead.

After the disappearing of that thing, the golden light started to lighten with vaguely unclear shape for moment and gone. With the curiosity the scientists replay the captured video.

Male scientist: It looks like "Mobius Strip..."

Female scientist: Do you think it's related to this circumstance?

Male scientist: I can't identify the information now...but I'm feeling like I ever saw it somewhere?

When they turned away from the screen, for a moment the little green light started to appear. The picture cut to the central mall in Tokyo City.

Café 3つの水(Mizuno Mizu)

Brand-new café that just opened in the mall, but nobody walked in. The lady, who is standing beside the counter, seems like the café owner she looks bored and tired. She heavily sighs but then somebody's walking in. When the girl appears, she waves to greet her and be so happy to see the girl.

Saya: Onia! You're finally here, why are you so late?

Onia did some apology and told the reason why she was late.

Onia: I'm truly sorry Miss Saya, I was on my business. I let you have so many works on your shoulders alone.

Saya: On the contrary, today's the worst! But since you are here can you switch to your turn?

Onia: Absolutely!

Onia walks into the changing room to put on apron as she's wearing it Saya starting to talk.

Saya: Every time when you stay with me, I feel so comfortable. If there anything I can help just tell me.

Cut to Onia

Onia: I also owe you. You treated me just like I'm one of your family.

Saya sits on the couch and continues to speak.

Saya: You said it like we don't know each other! Do you even realize I moved the café for 3 times, but you chose to stay. And we've been living together for...10 years maybe.

In the moment they are talking the first customer of the day finally comes in.

Saya: Coming!

Onia suddenly walked out of the changing room and told Saya she'd do it.

Onia: You had stayed for too long. This time I'll help you.

Saya: Well, if you insist.

Saya walks to the back of café to rest. Onia comes to serve the customers that they are mother and son.

Onia: What can I give for you today.

She smiles and gives the menus.

Mother: I'd like to have a cup of hot coffee, what about you Hikari?

She picked the menu and crouched to make his son see the menus. But he is speechless.

Hikari: I...don't know what to order...

She stood up and asked Onia.

Mother: Do you have any recommendations?

Onia: Well...

Onia noticed the Ultraman doll he's holding suddenly she got the idea.

Onia: Of course, ma'am the special menu's coming right up for little guy. Please have a seat.

After their waiting the drink is finally served but only mother's drink.

Onia: Here's your hot coffee

Mother: Thank you, but may I ask where's my son's drink?

Onia: In the process, I'll be bringing it when it's done.

Onia patiently working on Hikari's drink, neatly put little of this little of that and vola! Finally, the drink is ready. When mother and child saw they dropped their jaws because the drink is fabulous. The whipped cream was sculpted to Ultraman Taro and the decorations make it more ridiculously amazing.

Hikari: You are so good!

He claps with his innocence it makes Onia smile.

Onia: Thank you, little guy I did my best just for you! Please enjoy.

Mother: I can't believe my eyes this is a really good work of art. Well, Hikari let's take a picture.

The two happily shared a drink together. After that, it was time to pay.

Onia: Total is 459 yen.

Mother: Really? The price and the quality of the drinks are contradictory.

She took out an excessive amount of money from her pocket, wanting to admire the work, but when Onia saw this, she quickly refused.

Mother: It's not a tip I really want to admire you.

Onia: I am really grateful for your offer but no need ma'am. We're pleasure to do our service.

In the end, Onia only received the money for a normal amount. As she was checking the bill, the mother had the curiosity.

Mother: So how did you get this menu. Is it the signature of café?

Onia: No, ma'am actually I just got the idea today because of his Ultraman doll.

Mother: What a pleasant idea. Maybe you can put it in the daily menu.

Onia: Thank you for your recommendation, but I must ask the owner first.

Saya, who was listening at the back of the café, heard this and smiled slightly. After the conversation ended, the mother and son got up from the table.

Mother: Next time I won't miss this place. Thank you so much.

Hikari: Good bye!

Onia: See you next time!

They walked out the café. Onia bowed and when she looked up, she noticed Hikari left his doll, but it was too late they almost left the mall. With no hesitation she picks the doll and find them.

At the same moment Onia was finding them, the mother and son had already crossed the road. But after crossing the road, the boy suddenly remembered.

Hikari: Mom, I forgot my doll.

Mother: Oh my, that's why I don't feel right. I'll bring you to get it back.

Onia came out from the mall and looked for those two at the opposite of the street suddenly Hikari noticed her first, he rushed to cross the road and ignored the red light for pedestrians.

Mother: Hikari stop! Don't cross the street!

Hikari: My doll! I'll get my doll!

The mother tried to catch her son but missed. Onia reaction was terrified but she can do nothing as same as the pedestrians or the situation could get worse. On top of that, there was a car coming at a very fast speed, didn't know what was ahead.

Driver: Hmm? Why do they stop is something happening? Wha..!

Onia had no choice but to rush to Hikari and try to get him out, but the car was coming at such high speed that they couldn't escape. The driver tried to brake but the car wouldn't stop, so she decided to use her body as a shield for him.

The boy's mother stood there, crying, watching the uncontrollable scene unfold before her. The crowd was bustling with noise, and many people took out their phones to record videos. But after she closed her eyes, Onia's ears suddenly became silent for a moment. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and looked back at the car that had suddenly stopped in amazement. Everyone applauded Onia's bravery. The boy's mother rushed over with concern. The boy himself was crying from fear and shock.

Mother: Thank you...thank you so much for saving him...by the way are you alright?

Onia: I'm alright, glad nobody was injured.

The driver hurriedly got out to see if anyone was injured and asked in a worried tone.

Driver: Are there anyone injured? I'm truly sorry for driving so fast that could make a horrible accident.

Mother: It's not your fault, it's my...I am the one who careless. If this woman hadn't came out, he would have been...oh I can't even imagine.

The mother was sobbing and picking her son to hug him.

Mother: Anything I can help you back?

Onia: I have no need ma'am I just want to save him and see him saved.

She returned the doll to him the boy received and say thank you to her but he gave his doll back to her in the end. Onia tried to refuse him but he insisted.

Hikari: You saved my life you deserved it...

Onia: But you really love this doll, don't you? You risked your life just for him.

Mother: But I think he really wants to give it to you please just receive it.

Hikari: I have a plenty of them at home! Don't worry.

Finally, she received his doll and smiled. People started to disperse and back to normal state.

Onia: I'll store it for really good! Thank you.

Onia pats the boy's head before walking back to work. Cut to the driver, who is in disbelief at what just happened. His face looked puzzled, as if some magical force had suddenly stopped his car. He continued driving and stopped thinking too much, because in the end, it was a good thing that no one was hurt.

When Onia returned to the café, she saw that Saya was not there and the door was left open. She closed the door and walked around the café looking for Saya, but she did not see her. She thought that Saya had urgent business and had to rush out. Onia picked up the customers' glasses on the table and washed them. After that, there was the sound of a door opening.

Saya: Thanks god you're saved!

Saya rushed to hug Onia and sighed heavily with a gasp of exhaustion.

Onia: Where did you go Miss Saya? Why are you panting so much.

Saya: I was just checking my phone when a hot news item popped up. I checked and saw that you had helped a child who was about to be hit by a car. I was so shocked I almost fainted, so I ran out of the store to find you! Why did you make me worry so much?!

Saya grabbed her shoulder and shook her. She grumbled to Onia with concern.

Onia: Ahhh I'm really sorry Miss Saya! I won't do it again! But it was really urgent.

Saya: Next time if you're going out anywhere tell me first, how will I manage this café without you!

Onia: I promise but please go easy on me.

Saya released her hand from her shoulder before using a softer tone.

Saya: Alright I'll forgive you.

Onia: Thank you.

Saya: But only once!

Onia: Hehe got it.

The two linked pinky fingers, and the image slowly zoomed into the sky, far into space. Soon, a golden light appeared, along with the Mobius ring, once again, and what flew out was none other than ULTRAMAN MEBIUS. He paused for a moment, looking around. His expression was extremely flustered, as if he was searching for something. Suddenly, a black monster flew past him at high speed. The monster tried to fly and lure him away, hoping to escape him, but Mebius's speed was so fast that the monster was constantly being chased.

Black monster: You really don't let me go. Hmm? What is that.

The monster glimpsed a distant blue planet.

Black monster: Is that the Earth of this universe.

He changed course towards the blue planet with Mebius, continuing to chase him until the two were close enough for space cameras to capture clearer images of them and send the data to the astronomical institute.

Female scientist: Sir, there is a sent back picture. What...no way.

Male scientist: What's happening

The image on the screen also shocked him, because in front of him was the image of Mebius and the monster. Of course, it was not normal for fictional characters to actually appear.

Male scientist: Am I hallucinating? Ultra man is...real?

Female scientist: And looks like he brings his friend to come with.

Chief scientist: Make sure the picture is actually from our cameras.

It didn't take long for the results to be concluded and more clues to be found.

Female scientist: It really comes from our cameras. Moreover, It's not an edit picture.

Chief scientist: We must be prepared, but we cannot cause public panic. I will handle this matter myself. You two, keep a close eye on them.

Both: Yes sir!

The chief scientist hurries out of the lab. Cut to Saya and Onia helping clean up the café.

Saya: Such a hectic day!

Saya lays down on the sofa in the café with an exhausted expression.

Onia: Ms. Saya was right to choose this as a new menu item.

Saya: yah...I'm glad we got so many customers today but mostly it was children! Anyway, thanks Onia...

She gave Onia a tired look and a dry smile.

Onia: With my pleasure hahaha.

After cleaning up the café, Onia invited Saya to have dinner.

Onia: You look really knackered would you like to have dinner with me? I'm on it!

Saya: Thanks Onia but maybe next time I'm sorry to refuse.

Onia: It's ok we can go anytime.

The two of them walked outside and crossed the street together, but as they crossed the street, Onia looked up at the Japanese evening sky. The sky was a beautiful dreamlike orange-purple glow.

Onia: It's beautiful...

When look closely, that light isn't just shining, it's also moving slowly. It could be a satellite dish, or maybe it's...

Saya: onia...Onia...ONIA...

Saya's voice called out to her, making her feel as if she had come out of her reverie, and she was slightly startled.

Onia: Y...yes?

Saya: You zoned out...are you alright? Speaking of which today was also a really heavy day for you.

Onia: You're right maybe I just need some rest as well.

Saya: So, let's cross the street. Hurry up!

Onia quickly ran after Saya across the street. After crossing the street, the two waved goodbye and went their separate ways home. Onia walked to her bus station, and on the way, she looked at the twinkling lights all over the city. She listened to the footsteps of many people walking until she reached an apartment. She stopped and looked, but suddenly, she didn't know that tears started to flow out.

Onia: How nostalgic...

She wiped away the single tear on her cheek and continued walking until she reached the bus stop and waited. Not long after, the bus arrived. She got on the bus and started her journey home. During the journey, she fell asleep and entered a dream world. Everything around her was dark until she heard someone's voice.

"I will be the person who will fulfill your dream" The voice was filled with hope. "Who are you?" she asked curiously. "I am your light." After finished speaking, a golden light appeared in her dream. It was so bright that it woke her from her dream. She flinched slightly before looking up at the evening sky again and seeing the same twinkling light. Soon after, they arrived at the station she had gotten off at. Even though it was only a short dream, the voice was still etched in her mind.

Onia: The warmth in that voice...

Onia continued walking after getting off to return home, which was about 148 meters away from the station. It was a high hill with a beautiful mountain behind it. Her house was a detached house alone. But not far from her house, every evening after Onia returned from work, an old woman and her two granddaughters(?) would always follow her. They like to come and sit together every evening, which makes Onia not feel lonely. They might live in a nearby village.

Onia: Granny came to hang out again today as usual. I haven't had the chance to talk to her before. I need to find an opportunity.

She opened the door and turned on the lights in the house. The first thing she did after entering the house was walk to the glass cabinet where she kept her collection of cartoon characters, both from games and from movies. But most of all, she has a cabinet dedicated to her collection of Ultraman characters, her favorite childhood character. She opens the glass cabinet and takes out the doll that little Hikari gave her and keeps it carefully.

Onia: Cute.

She looked at the characters she had collected and smiled. After that, Onia walked to the dressing table to change clothes for the shower. As she was changing clothes, she noticed a box under the table. Curious, she picked it up. When she opened it, she found that it was a crescent moon necklace.

Onia: When did it come here?

She tried on the necklace and looked in the mirror. She saw a part of it and seemed to like it very much.

Onia: Wow it's gorgeous.

She took off the necklace and hung it in front of the mirror. After that, she changed her clothes and took a shower, getting ready to sleep after a tiring day.

In the middle of the night, as she slept, she seemed to dream of something. The voices of two people talking, and the man's voice sounded pleading, "Don't...don't go..." the woman spoke in a sad but warm voice, "Thank you for always taking care of me." After the voice went quiet, she woke up startled in the middle of the night.

Onia: What a strange dream again...

She tried to force herself to sleep, preparing for work tomorrow, but she couldn't. She looked at the moonlight shining down on her room through the window. She closed her eyes and tried not to think too much about the dream until she fell asleep.

The morning sun slowly shone into her bedroom, waking her up. Onia stretched before getting out of bed. Her morning routine had already begun. Today, she intended to arrive at the café earlier than usual. She smiled.

Onia: It's time to use It again!

She used her magic power to start doing everything in the morning. With just a flick of her hand, a loud noise rang out in the kitchen. Kitchen A pan floats with eggs and seasonings. The pan is placed on a stove and lit over low heat, slowly pouring oil over it. After that, crack an egg into the pan.

While making breakfast, Onia took a shower. She looked at the clock to see what time the bus would arrive. The water in the tub was already ready for her. She changed into her clothes to shower. The pajamas she had left floating in the basket. It didn't take long for her to finish showering. After finishing her bathroom routine, she was ready for breakfast. Plates, spoons, and forks slowly floated in front of her, along with pre-cooked fried eggs and toast. She ate her breakfast with relish.

After finishing her meal, the plates and spoons floated to the sink and washed themselves clean. When everything was ready, she prepared to go outside to wait for the car. But before she left, she stopped by to look at her character doll cabinet. She smiled at the doll before leaving the house. She locked the door and went to wait at the bus stop.

While she had some time left, she took out her phone to check what was going on. As she scrolled, a news item popped up. When she clicked on it, she found that it was from the National Astronomical Institute. "Just a few hours ago, the Tokyo Astronomical Institute announced the discovery of a new, strange object." She scrolled through the images the institute had sent her. "Images from a distant satellite dish." Before she could read any further, a bus arrived. She got on and set off into the city. She looked up at the sky and saw the same light again, but this time it was much closer.

Onia, who had just arrived at the café, saw Saya cleaning the front of the café. The two greeted each other in the morning.

Saya: Good morning today you came earlier.

Onia: Good morning, Miss Saya I just happened to have nothing to do today, so I came here in a hurry. Have you eaten, Miss Saya?

Saya: I've already eaten.

Onia: Well, shall we open the café?

Saya: Let's do it. Oh, and one task for me. Could you make me a cup of black coffee.

Onia: As you wish!

The couple helped to set up the café before opening time and started the day off right by making some coffee to warm up. The sound of the coffee maker working and the fragrant smell of the extracted coffee were very relaxing. Onia brought a small cup of coffee and served it to Saya.

Saya: Gotta be your brewing only to start a good day.

Onia: Thank you for your compliment hehe.

As Saya slowly sat down and sipped her coffee, she asked Onia something.

Saya: Onia, can I ask you something?

Onia: Yes?

Saya: Why are you be so courage to save that kid yesterday.

Onia: There was no other choice at that time. My first instinct was to never let the child get hurt, no matter what.

Saya: You're so brave. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do anything. But hey... could it be because of the inspiration from the Ultraman movies you loved watching as a child?

Saya teased Onia, making her feel a little embarrassed.

Onia: Miss Saya, stop bringing up old things!

Saya: Hahaha, just don't mention it. But if you had a power that could protect the entire world like them, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for the people of Earth like that?

Onia was silent for a moment at Saya's question and looked at Saya with a puzzled look as to why she asked such a question, but she finally answered with confidence.

Onia: Of course. The world is my home. Even if it costs me my life, I'm willing to do it.

Saya nodded in response with a small smile before the awkward feeling from earlier slowly disappeared.

Saya: You're really amazing. If something were to happen, I wouldn't be afraid anymore. Hahahaha.

Onia blushed a little, as if she had just realized that what she had said might have been a bit embarrassing.

Onia: Is it too embarrassing?

Saya: Haha, don't worry about it too much—just focus on your work, my Super Onia!

Onia blushed so much that she couldn't do anything.

Onia: Please don't call me like that...

Saya: Haha, I was just joking. I didn't think it would embarrass you this much. Would you mind turning on the TV?

Onia: Of course, not...

Onia said in a trembling voice before regaining her composure. "Welcome to the morning news, viewers. The Tokyo Astronomical Institute recently released images of a strange object that appeared to be a pair of golden and black lights. It's not yet clear what it is, but the institute has speculated that it might be...*signal loss*... Please use your discretion while viewing. That concludes today's morning news."

Saya: Oh, I still don't know. Is it the TV or the signal?

Onia: The golden light I saw on the news just now, it's the same one I saw in...

Saya: In what?

Onia: Nothing...

While they were talking, the first customer of the café opened the door and came in. The two stopped talking and hurried to greet the customer.

The scene cuts to outer space, where Mebius and the monster are getting closer to Earth. Mebius tries to stop the monster. He used his full speed to rush ahead of it. The monster, which hadn't seen him, slammed into him. Although it only slightly injured Mebius, he was able to stop it in the end.

He locked the monster's neck and forced it to answer.

Mebius: Tell me what are you thinking to do.

The monster refused to answer and tried to resist Mebius's force, but he only pressed harder to force it to answer.

Black monster: I'm not a fool and you'll find out what I'm going to do.

The monster gathered the black energy within him and radiated it out, releasing it towards Mebius. A massive wave of energy spread out, sending Mebius flying far away and momentarily losing consciousness. The deafening explosion spread throughout the world. Even though the powerful waves are far away, they can still have an impact on whatever they pass through, causing unstable electricity around the world and in some places causing small earthquakes.

The town and buildings shook slightly, and the people of Tokyo were in shock, including Saya and Onia, who were inside the café, who had to hide under their tables as the earthquake came without warning. No one knew that the incident was caused by an extraterrestrial monster.

Not only that, there was also a strange sound that accompanied the earthquake waves. After the situation calmed down, the two slowly emerged from under the table to see if anything was damaged.

Saya: What just happened...it

Cut back to outer space, where Mobius has yet to regain his Stick, giving the monster an easy chance to fly to Earth. But before he could reach Earth, he visited other planets, and something strange happened as he approached the planet. He soon began to fade in color. He eventually turned completely black. He repeated this process on other planets, and his final destination was Earth.

Not only that, after the planet turned black, the dark aura within the monster also increased, and the surrounding planet gradually turned black. And the more the dark rays spread, the faster the planets He approached would turn black.

Black monster: It's time to send to "The Lord".

He slowly gathered the black energy into a ball, and when He had completely emanated from his body, He released the black energy and disappeared into a dark dimension before heading towards Earth.

The scene cuts to a sky that was once clear, but he gradually turns dark. Some trees are surprisingly withering and unable to stand any longer. No matter how well he is preserved, the distant dark force is now approaching. The wind carries the scent of gloom, like darkness without light.

Onia: Is it going to rain? Why the sky is so dark.

Saya: The weather forecast didn't say anything it's going to rain.

After that, the lights slowly flickered as if the power was going out.

Saya: What now...

Onia: This is unusual I'll go outside, will you?

Saya: No, I'll stay here but come back quickly, ok?

Onia: Got it!

Onia ran out of the café to check out the situation outside. When she saw it, she looked shocked. The sky was dark and gloomy as if a huge storm was about to hit. However, this time, it was not normal because the sky was terrifyingly dark. Electricity flickered and went out across the area. A violent wind blew, blowing dust into her eyes. Suddenly, a strange sound appeared in the sky. A loudspeaker warning sounded throughout the city, causing people to panic.

She squinted her eyes and tried to look up. The screams of the people were everywhere. In the sky, a huge, terrifying black figure appeared. This black monster had entered the world. Her eyes widened in shock and she was about to run up to tell Saya to hurry up and come out. She squinted her eyes and tried to look up. The screams of the people were everywhere. In the sky, a huge, terrifying black figure appeared. This black monster had entered the world. Her eyes widened in shock and she was about to run up to tell Saya to hurry up and come out.

After the monster's footsteps stepped onto the ground, a loud noise reverberated throughout the sky, creating an extremely frightening and terrifying atmosphere. The world had never seen such an event before in history.

Black monster: Pathetic humans!

The monster, compared to the building, was as big as a 20-story building. Every time he walked, the ground shook, causing damage to the surrounding area. The earthquake was so strong that some buildings began to collapse.

Onia hurriedly tried to run to Saya inside to bring her out. Now she was able to enter the mall, she was about to enter the café, but the ground shook too violently until finally...

The scene cuts to black. The silence around her is deafening, even the voices in her mind. When she opens her eyes, she knows she is safe, protected by a blue shield around her. Finally, a three-story building collapsed without a care. Surrounded by people who couldn't get out in time, her heart was beating wildly with fear. However, she didn't hesitate and ran to the café in a panic.

When she reached the front of the store, she was heartbroken to see a large amount of rubble collapse on top of the store. She used her powers to move the objects blocking the entrance and rushed inside immediately. In front of her now, there was only the ruins that had collapsed from the top floor to the bottom. Fortunately, it wasn't the entire building. Onia immediately called out to Saya, secretly hoping that Saya would be safe.

Onia: Miss Saya! Miss Saya! Miss Saya!

She called out to Saya over and over again, but there was no response. Until she noticed Saya's hand under the rubble. She quickly used her power to lift the rubble off Saya and ran to Saya with tears streaming down her face.

Onia: Miss Saya...please don't leave me...

She spoke to Saya, who was now in a bad state. Saya, who was still conscious, used her remaining strength to gently grab Onia's cheek.

Saya: Onia...you are injured...right...

Saya's voice was hoarse and weak.

Onia: Miss Saya, stay strong. I'll take you to the hospital right away.

Onia said in a sobbing voice, trying to hold Saya, hoping to keep her safe.

Saya: No...don't...it has no use now and I...don't want to...bother you...I just...want to see...you safe...

Saya said with tears streaming down her face, causing Onia to cry even more sadly.

Onia: We promised we won't let go...but why...

Saya: This time, I broke the promise... I couldn't escape in time. If it were you, you would definitely forgive me. Haha...

Saya forced a laugh with a soft voice.

Saya: Onia...I want to have a word.

Onia: Yes...

Saya: I've made mistakes many times in my life, but one thing I've never made a mistake about is... having you with me...

Onia held Saya's hand, deeply touched by Saya's words.

Onia: I'm also happy to be with you...since my first meeting.

Saya: Onia, make a promise to me one more...

Onia: Anything you want...

Saya: You must... stay strong without me. You must continue to grow... and if miracles do happen, I hope we can meet again... my little sister.

She smiled at Onia with a gloomy expression, her body covered in wounds

Onia: I promise and we'll meet again one day...

Onia smiled with tears in her eyes, unable to conceal her sadness. Saya gently wiped her tears away.

Saya: Stop being a cry baby you will make me worry...after all of these 10 years you've never left me behind until now...thank you...

Onia: Miss Saya...

The light from the sky shone down just then. After that, Saya closed her eyes. Onia cried while holding Saya's hand tightly. Images from the past flashed back to her memory. "What about your parents?" "Parents... don't have any." "Then... you can come live with me." "Really! Thank you, miss..." "Call me Saya. Consider me your older sister." "Yes, Miss Saya."

"Onia... Do you think this café will be able to continue, or should I stop here?" "Miss Saya, this dream has been yours from the very beginning. If you, give up now, nothing you've done will be meaningless." "That's right! The war isn't over yet! Thanks, Onia."

Onia took off the apron she was wearing and placed it next to Saya before she stopped crying.

Onia: Thank you for everything...sister...

The sound from outside rang out again, the sound of fighter jets and soldiers trying to fight the monster. Onia wiped her tears and stood up, wanting to be strong. She looked up at the sky, which had now turned dark with thunder rumbling. She was initially hesitant, but she quickly decided that she would fight, not only to protect the people, but also to protect their "future."

Onia walked outside and took off her hair tie. As her hair spread out, a blue energy slowly illuminated her body, transforming her from her original outfit into a new one suitable for her magical combat. Now she could no longer turn back. She looked up at the dark sky, because what she wanted to do now was to fly. Although she had possessed the power for quite a while, what she had never tried was flying.

She calmed down and gathered her concentration, then someone's words popped into her head, "Spread your wings and fly freely." Two blue lights gradually appeared on her hands, their crystal clear light shining beautifully. The blue light mixed with the white light gave off a purity. Her body slowly floated up from the ground.

The first time in her life she was able to fly, she was a little shocked, but after a while she gradually gained control and was able to fly freely and rush towards the monster.

Cut to the monster that is now rampaging through the city, sweeping through houses and destroying everything. Many people are running for their lives and evacuating to other places. But some of the people who couldn't escape in time were now in fear and paranoia. The monster headed towards the large building, hoping to collapse it. As he was about to sweep his hands, a blue fireball shot at him, hitting him squarely.

Black monster: Who dare to hit me!?

Looking towards the source of the fireball, he saw a young woman floating in mid-air, a blue magic power in her hand. Seeing that the small human had injured him, his arrogance exploded with rage.

Black monster: Insolent!

The monster released a wave of black energy at Onia. Due to his experience and speed, the attack was too late for her to dodge. Her body, which was hit by the attack, was knocked to the ground on the rooftop of a building.

Ater: No one would dare to fight with me! The almighty Ater!

Fortunately, Ater's attack didn't hurt Onia too much as she used her shock absorber to only slightly injure herself. She slowly got up to continue fighting him. But now, if she doesn't stop the monster, the people on the building might not survive, so she uses her powers to shoot to distract him, at least to buy some time.

Ater: If you don't stop, I'll surely kill you!

Although her power did not harm him much, at least she bought some time. And she was not the only one fighting, there was also an air force joining her. In spite, Ater's plan was failed, but there is still a plan B. Many people below are still unable to escape, so he quickly destroys the building above, hoping to fall on the people below.

Ater: jackpot Hahaha.

The rubble of the building fell so fast that they couldn't escape. However, Onia didn't want history to repeat itself. She quickly flew close to the falling rubble and used her blue power to cover it.

Onia: Everyone, go now!

It wasn't long before the people in the area managed to escape. She was able to stop the rubble from crushing the people below. Ater, seeing that his plan had been foiled, became even more furious at Onia.

Ater: I warned you!

Ater gathered his strength, but this time it was even more powerful than before. It seemed like he was going to kill her this time. As he was about to attack her, a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky, as if it had stopped time. He paused for a moment and turned to look.

Onia: that golden light...

A golden light shot out at high speed and struck Ater, causing him to fall to the ground. The people around were shocked by the scene before them. Ater was lying on the ground rolling around. As the golden light slowly transformed ∞ from a golden light into a superhuman being, many people nearby were shocked by what they saw.

Onia could hardly believe her eyes, her favorite hero had appeared. The monster slowly rose up, his voice filled with annoyance and displeasure when he saw him.

Ater: You made it here eventually.

Mebius: As long as I'm alive, I'll let you do evil things.

Ater: Then...don't live.

Ater attacked him with dark energy, but he dodged his attack and used Mebium Slash (arrow of light) to counterattack. Ater was hit by the arrow of light, causing him to fall over. Mebius didn't hesitate to fire Mebium Slash at Ater again, but this time he laughed. Mebius's attack was instantly transformed into black energy.

Ater counterattacked Mebius, but surprisingly, his attack was the same as Mebius's, causing Mebius to be struck by a dark arrow and fall to the ground in an unsightly manner. Onia, who was looking at the situation, could not wait any longer and hurriedly went to help Mebius.

Ater: This place will be your grave!

Ater immediately released a dark beam of light. Mebius, who was trying to escape, couldn't escape. He used Mebius Defensircle to block, but it didn't last long because Ater's power was quite strong. Before his armor could break, a layer of blue light protected him.

Onia: Get up! Mebius

Mebius was slightly surprised before he stood up and used Mebium Shoot (Final Beam) to deal with the endless stream of dark beams. He shot out a beam of anti-dark energy until finally, when all the energy came together, it caused a violent explosion. Fortunately, the people had already evacuated.

After the light from the explosion gradually faded, both sides scattered in different directions. Onia, who had used her armor to protect herself, was unable to resist and lost consciousness. Ater, seeing that the situation was not good, decided to go back.

Ater: I'll be right back! And cause the extinction of humanity!

Ater flew into the sky before a dark dimensional hole appeared and he flew into it. After a while, Onia slowly regained consciousness. She coughed on the dust and smoke and was shocked by her surroundings. The explosion left no building safe, at least not within a distance of 3 kilometers. The sky was turbulent and dark. Everywhere you looked, there was only dust and smoke like a thick fog. But soon, rain fell, causing the dust to gradually settle. Although this event made her want to cry, she had to hold it in because there was no time to grieve for the fate of the world.

The environment around her was now silent, but suddenly, something made a sound. "tinung tinung..." Soon, Onia realized what this familiar sound was.

Onia: This sound...

She turned to the source of the sound and found that it was the sound of a Color Timer (alarm in the middle of her chest) blinking due to an injury. Onia quickly flew over to see the unconscious Mebius. His eyes had no light coming out of them, this was an emergency because if the signal on his chest went off it would mean his life.

Onia: Mebius! Can you hear me?

Her calls were ineffective, and the Color Timer's blinking speed was increasing, adding to Onia's stress. She had to find a way to save him. She tries to use her wits and find a way to use her magical powers to help him. Although she is not proficient in her powers, she takes a chance. By using her magic, she makes Mebius' body smaller than a human's. The result was as she had hoped. She was overjoyed and without delay, she quickly flew him to safety, her own home.

Onia carries Mebius into the house, soaking wet. She must now find a way to cure him, as the Color Timer keeps blinking, but the effect of using her powers has bought her more time. Due to his small size, his energy drained more slowly, but she couldn't hold it in for long. She carried the unconscious Mebius to sit on the wall to rest.

Onia: You must be safe...

She held his hand, reminding her of the time she held hands with Saya. Suddenly, a strand of light from her hand slowly floated into the Color Timer. She was slightly startled, but she immediately understood that her power could recharge him. Although it made her feel strange, there was no other way now, so she let go of him and covered the Color Timer with both hands until it finally returned to its original blue color.

His golden yellow eyes shone again after he woke up, and seeing the unfamiliar place surprised him.

Mebius: Where am I...

Mebius, who had just regained consciousness, looked around the room and saw Onia sitting there watching over him, which startled him a little. She, seeing that he had regained consciousness, looked very happy. Mebius, who was confused by the situation, asked her.

Mebius: You are the person who helped me, right?

Onia didn't answer his question, so she immediately hugged him in joy. Although it confused Mebius a little, he didn't object.

Onia: I thought I couldn't help you. I'm glad you survived.

Onia gently grabbed his shoulders and slowly helped him sit on the sofa.

Onia: Slowly.

Although he didn't get a definite answer, he was certain that this woman was the one who had saved him, so he thanked her.

Mebius: Thank you for your help...by the way how did you know my name?

Onia: Because...

Suddenly, the sky roared loudly and the lights in the house suddenly went out, which startled her greatly and she unconsciously grabbed Mebius's hand in fear.

Mebius: You're shaking, are you alright?

Onia, who had just realized what she was doing, quickly let go and apologized. Soon, the lights returned.

Onia: I'm sorry it was familiar whenever I got scared.

Mebius: Happy to hear that...wait what is that?

As the two were talking, Mebius noticed her character collection cabinet. Intrigued, he got up to take a closer look, along with Onia, who went to introduce her.

Onia: It's my characters collection cabinet.

Mebius looks at the collection in the cabinet with interest and her Ultraman figure catches her eye.

Mebius: Why are there so many Ultra brothers? But they're so tiny! Oh, and I'm in there too. Did you make them yourself?

Onia: Not at all, they are figures. Characters that are modeled after movies or cartoons that most people know.

Mebius: Most people know...or! It's not just you who know me, but many people in the world?

Onia nodded

Onia: Would you like to have some?

Mebius: Are you sure can I have it?

Although his words said he didn't want it, his heart couldn't let go of it. Seeing this, Onia took out the key to unlock the cabinet and handed him a miniature figure of Moebius Burning Brave (Fire Pattern Form).

Mebius: Even I didn't know I had this kind of body. I never thought the world would know me so well.

Onia: More than well known. The person who created her would be shocked to know that this fictional character actually existed.

Mebius: What do you mean?

Onia: In short, you are the fictional characters.

When he heard this, he was surprised, so she took out her phone and played a short video of him for him to see. Mebius, who saw himself on the screen for the first time, was shocked.

Mebius: When did I be there?

Onia: That was just an actor and more special thing is this year is your 20th anniversary.

Mebius: But I'm 6800 years.

Onia: I meant in the series hahaha.

Mebius: Oh, and we've been talking for a long time, but I still don't know your name.

Onia: I'm sorry to forget introducing myself, I'm Onia.

Mebius: Miss Onia thank you once again to save my life. And is this your house?

Onia: Yes, it's my house though I don't even know how it came.

Mebius: You're living here alone?

Onia: Actually, I wasn't alone before, but now...

The question seemed to be hitting a nerve, making Mebius see that things were not going well, so he quickly changed the subject to something else.

Mebius: I'm sorry saying that. Shall we change the topic?

Onia: Sure. I want to know how you came to Earth. Was it sent by Ultra Father?

Onia tried to ask him jokingly, but Mebius looked shocked and turned to ask her.

Mebius: How do you know?

Onia: Just a guess. If it wasn't Ultra Father who sent you, who else could it be? Right? And did he intentionally send you to Earth?

Mebius: not really, do you know what Nebula M-78 is?

Onia: I do.

Mebius: My intention here just because we were invaded by the monster.

Onia: what monster.

Mebius: That monster we fought tried to steal our Plasma Spark.

The flashback shows Ater collecting Soul Light across universes. After traveling through millions of universes, he stops in a universe that looks quite "different" from the others. Suddenly, Ater notices a green planet. Despite being far away, could feel some energy. Curious, Ater flew close to the planet and was shocked to find that the planet was 60 times larger than Earth and had life in it.

Ater: Why I haven't seen this planet before?

As he flew into the star, he was stunned by what he saw before him. Many Ultras flying and walking around the City of Light, Ater, noticed a tall, brightly lit tower. He flew into the tower seamlessly and saw the pure light energy that illuminated the planet. With the thought of taking it as Soul Light, he tried to steal the Plasma Spark. But before he could grasp it, his fingers were burned with pure energy, and it let out a loud cry of pain.

Ater: Why I can't touch this!?

Suddenly, a golden arrow shot towards Ater's hand, which made him even angrier. He turned to look at the person who had shot him, and it turned out to be Mebius.

Mebius: Do not touch the Plasma Spark!

Ater: You interfering!

Ater obscures Mebius vision with dark energy and uses this opportunity to escape. Before Mebius can regain his sight, Ater has disappeared into another universe. Mebius does not hesitate to report the matter to the Ultra Father.

Ultra Father: I'll have to give you this task, Mebius. Capture him!

Mebius: Yes sir!

The Ultra Mother standing beside Mebius felt worried, so she asked the Ultra Father for reassurance.

Ultra Mother: Are you sure Mebius won't get hurt? Not only that, he's in between of training with Taro.

Ultra Father: But he is the only one. I bless you well young worrier.

After receiving the order, Ultra Father gives him the Mebius Brace. Mebius rushes across the universe in search of Atha, and the scene cuts to the present.

Onia: So, you've fought him before? No wonder he doesn't like you. Speaking of which, when we fought, I heard him mention Soul Light. That might be what he's looking for. Do you know what it is?

Moebius: I've heard of it. Soul Light is a light that exists throughout the universe. It's present in every living thing. Even our Plasma Spark contains Soul Light. Without Soul Light, life would be lost. It's Soul Light that keeps the entire universe going.

Onia made a worried face with concern.

Onia: Then your planet is in danger. If it has that much power, he must be doing something bad.

Mebius: It's not that bad. Compared to the Soul Lights of other planets, our planet's Plasma Spark is just a simulated sun.

Onia: But we can't let this go. Without the Plasma Spark, you won't survive and the others too.

Mebius: We're not afraid. The Ultra citizens will never allow that to happen. Plus, there's you, Miss Onia.

Hearing his words, Onia smiled warmly. The scene cut to a different location, a world filled with darkness and the shrieks of chaos. Ater had returned to settle down here after his last battle. He clutched his shoulder, injured.

Mysterious voice: You're back Ater?

A mysterious and terrifying voice resounded throughout the area. Upon hearing this, Ater immediately knelt down.

Ater: Mylord I felt different with this universe.

Mysterious voice: What's matter...Oh you're injured. The people who could do that to you must be strong...or you're just weak.

Ater lowered his head and remained silent for a while before raising his head and speaking again.

Ater: I'm sorry I'm in this condition but it seems like we have a new hindrance.

Mysterious voice: Your weakness?

Ater: I can sense "SHE" will come back again!

After he finished speaking, thousands of black chains came out and bound Ater's body, binding him tightly with pain.

Mysterious voice: What did you say?

Ater: My apology...but after all these 1000 years. I have never sensed this feeling before.

Thousands of chains slowly unraveled as Ater fell to the ground before struggling to get up.

Mysterious voice: Stop fooling around and go back and collect Soul Light for me. Soon, I will once again rule the universe with darkness.

Ater: Yes, my lord.

Mysterious voice: This will be your last chance don't fail again.

Ater: Yes...

After the mysterious voice finished speaking, Ater clenched his fists tightly before releasing them and sighing.

Ater: Why...do I have to be this tired...
