It was a nice night, warm and pretty and all that. Peter had a habit of looking at the stars from C.A.T’s headquarter roof. The only tricky part was that he passed Tanja’s room on his way, and she woke up very easily. When she did, she wasn’t very fun to deal with. Do you like watching the sky like this? Ultraman Pole asked in his head. Yeah, Peter said. It’s peaceful. Oh, if you only knew, Pole laughed. Quite a lot goes on out there.That reminds me, Peter said. Why are you here, exactly? Does your kind swear to protect Earth or something? No, Pole said, we swear to protect everything. It’s just that a lot happens to, well, happen on Earth. Still, my mentor thought I was ready to travel here. Your mentor? Yes, Pole said. My mentor’s name is Ultraseven. He’s the one who trained me, primarily. He’s promised to visit me and check up on me. Wow, Peter said, astonished. Will I get to meet him? I’d assume so. You’re my host. I’m with you all the time. As they talked, something appeared in the sky. It appeared to be a row of symbols made out of light. An Ultra Sign… Pole mumbled. Ultra Sign? Peter said in confusion. Ultrans use Ultra Signs to send messages to each other. We don’t use telephones or stuff like that if we travel light-years through the universe all the time. Okay, so what does it say? Somebody wants to meet me… Great Lake, north Sweden Great Lake had always been clothed in mystery. Like Loch Ness, people had long believed it to be the home of a monster, and many had claimed to see it. These claims were often proven to be lies and hoaxes, and the beliefs fell into myth. That is, until Sweden’s recent monster attacks. People avoided the lake these days, fearing that they might be attacked by the monster. Emerging from the shadows amongst the trees next to the lake, the strange girl dressed in white looked upon the water. Yes, she thought, this is my chance. I can use this creature to defeat my enemy. “So I found you out”, she heard. Normally, she would not react very much, but this person felt… different. She turned around and saw a normal human male walking towards her. “You are?” she asked coldly. “Call me Max”, the man replied. “I heard that Ultraman Hikari suspected Bogar to have left a spawn. I didn’t realize you’d be on Earth.” “You are Ultran…” the girl said slowly. The man nodded. “Keep out of this”, she continued. “This is none of your business.” “You’re a monster”, Max said. “And you summon monsters. I find that my business.” “I wish you no specific harm”, the girl said. “I do not fight anybody. All I do is collect food. They steal my food from me, so I have to stop them. I, personally, feel too weak to fight an Ultran, but the one stealing my food will be punished.” “Then, if you don’t want anybody harmed, pack up and leave Earth”, Max said coldly. “If you continue this, I will kill you, Bogar.” “Bogar?” the girl said. “I do not wish to carry the name of my parent. It and I have little in common. Bogar was interested in killing and conquering. I am interested in growing and simply surviving.” “Then what is your name?” “Nothing”, the girl replied. “I have no name, and I don’t need one either.” She turned around and began to walk away. “Wait”, Max said, holding out a hand. “Don’t you dare escape!” But, ignoring him, the girl vanished into thin air, leaving Max alone by the lake. Come on, Ultraman Pole, he thought. Hurry up and get here. May 9th, 2044 En route to Great Lake, Sweden “Thanks for the ride, Tanja”, Peter said. Since his own jet was damaged again, Tanja flew him to the lake. Peter claimed that he wanted to go there because of a sudden need for some rest, and Emelie thought he might use one, because he’d looked pretty stressed out recently, so he was allowed a few days off by the Great Lake. After a lot of insistence, Tanja had gotten to go, too. Emelie wasn’t hard for her to convince, but Peter didn’t want her to go with him. After reminding him of how much faster it’d go with her jet and how she wouldn’t fly him if she didn’t get to come along, he had to agree. C.A.T members were able to use the jets for personal use by claiming to be investigating, and Emelie allowed this due to a silent “you break it, you bought it” agreement. While no other leader would allow such a reckless use of highly expensive equipment, Emelie recognized the usefulness of having highly ranked members available in areas where new incidents might require investigation. Since they were so fast, C.A.T members thus used their jets for longer trips around the country, but terrible consequences waited if they crashed. However, stolen jets were no issue. They were too well-protected for a smart person to try, and a fool soon reconsidered. “It’s all good”, Tanja smiled. “I needed a break too, anyway.” “So what do you intend to do at the lake, Tanja?” Peter asked. He hoped he could get her to keep away from him during the meeting with the mysterious Ultran. “I don’t know, really. Just relax in the hotel and take a few walks or something. I’m no real vacation… er… vacationist, heh.” “Okay”, Peter said. That’s good, he thought to himself, and to Pole. Great Lake, north Sweden “All right”, Tanja said after putting her stuff in her hotel room. “You gonna take it easy for the evening?” “I guess”, Peter said, but what he really wanted to was to find the Ultran as soon as possible. “I might slip into the woods, too. I need some time to myself.” “Okay”, Tanja said, sounding a bit disappointed. “But let’s eat dinner together.” “Maybe”, Peter replied. “In that case, I’ll give you a call later.” Tanja nodded and went back into her room. Peter walked away out of the hotel. I thought I wouldn’t get rid of her, he said to Pole in his head. Well, where do you think we can find our mystery friend? How should I know? Pole said sharply. All we can do is walk off to search. There’s got to be something to point us in the right direction. Ok, I’ll just walk around and see, then, Peter said, and began a stroll around the lake. After about half an hour, he encountered somebody. It was a young, short, black-haired, pretty girl dressed entirely in white. She stared at him with a strange expression. It felt partly hateful, partly frightened. Peter got an immediate bad feeling from the girl. “Who… are you?” he said nervously. A moment passed with the girl just staring at him. “You are stealing my food”, she finally said. “Uh… what?” Peter uttered in confusion. “You are stealing my food”, the girl repeated. “I work hard to gather food, and you steal it only to ruin it for me. I want you to stop stealing my food. I grow so hungry.” “I’m stealing your food?” Peter said. “I never stole anything from you. We haven’t even met before!” “I have seen you, but you did not see me. You steal my food. I summoned a Fuegosaurus to eat, and you killed it. I summoned a Kraken, and you killed it.” “YOU’RE behind those monsters?” Peter exclaimed. “Do you know how much problems you’ve caused?” “I got mad”, the girl continued, uninterrupted, “and decided you needed to be removed so I could eat in peace. But somehow my Greenmons were defeated, all three. Only recently did I find out that a second Ultran saved you.” “The other Ultran…” Peter mumbled. “But why do you do this?” “I wish merely to survive”, the girl said. “I wish to survive, and to grow big and strong. If I get to be left in peace, you will be left in peace by me. But it is not your nature to do so. I intend to kill y--” Interrupting her, an indescribably fast figure emerged from the shadows and hit the girl. She staggered back, and the figure, after circling some trees to not lose its speed, attacked again. The girl managed to evade the attack, and soon moved after in the same pace. The two exchanged blows for a while, leaving Peter to stand watching them astonished, until suddenly the other figure managed to slam the girl into a tree with such force that the tree’s lower part was slammed to pieces, and the upper part fell down next to the girl. The mysterious warrior stopped moving, and Peter could see who it was. It was Max, from D.O.G! “Max!?” Peter exclaimed. Max didn’t react, instead focused entirely on the girl. “I told you”, she said now in a hissing, snakelike voice while rising up, looking largely unharmed, “I am too weak to fight.” Max didn’t answer. “I also told you that this is not your business”, the girl continued. “Stay out of my affairs, Ultran.” Ultran…? Peter thought. “This is very much my business, monster”, Max finally said. “I told you I’d kill you if you continued. I hoped you’d take the hint.” “I see”, the girl said. “So you are my enemy too, then. Very well. We’ll meet again.” And she ran off, in the same blinding speed as before, until she disappeared. “Damn!” Max swore. “She got away again!” “Max!” Peter said. “What’s going on? How did you move like that? Who is she?” Another moment of silence occurred, until Max finally spoke. “All right”, he said, “I’ll just be honest.” “Please do”, Peter nodded. “Max is dead”, Max suddenly said. “Uh… what?” Peter said, standing confused. “I said that Max is dead”, Max repeated. “During a mission to France some month ago, Max was hit by a monster’s claw. His jet crashed, and he perished in the explosion. That was where I came across him, and I took residence in his body. I have worked with D.O.G since. They know nothing about it.” And for some reason, Peter felt no doubt in what the man said. “You… who are you?” Peter said. “Max” smiled. “I know you’re in there, Ultraman Pole. Ultraseven told me you’d be here.” “You’re the Ultran?" Peter heard, but this time the man in front of him also heard Pole. “Yes”, he nodded. “I am Ultraman Iron.” “Ultraman Iron…" Pole repeated. “I’ve met you before. You used to hang around with Ultraman Hikari all the time.” Iron nodded. “I came here because Hikari strongly suspected a spawn of the monster Bogar.” “BOGAR!?" Pole exclaimed, and by the sound of it, Peter figured out he was frightened. “Who’s Bogar?” Peter shyly asked. “Bogar was a tremendously powerful monster fought by Ultraman Mebius and Ultraman Hikari back in 2006”, Iron said. “Bogar aided the ongoing invasion of monsters upon Earth, and it took the combined strength of Mebius, Hikari, G.U.Y.S of Japan, and the Capsule monster Mikulas to bring her down, and even then it was no easy task. I decided to take no risks, so I travelled here to find the monster, because Bogar had spent a large amount of time here. The spawn happens to be the girl in white you just spoke to.” “I could’ve guessed”, Peter nodded. “And she wants me and Pole dead. Are we just gonna find and kill her or something?” “I told her she’d get killed if she didn’t leave the planet”, Iron said, “but she does not listen. So yes, we’ll remove her with force, killing or not. And we have to rush, before this… Bogar II grows too strong.” “Grows too strong?” “She seems to evolve through eating. If I’d have found her earlier she’d be dead by now, but now she’s already eaten some monsters. If she gets too many, she’ll be nearly as powerful as her predecessor.” “And that is…” Peter began. “Bad”, Pole finished. “Yes, it’s bad. Very much so.”
