That was all they could do, as they were mind-controlled to do so. These monsters were the property of a more powerful being. Suddenly, a large monster swooped down and landed near them. It had wing-like openings from its back, whose edges seemed to be toothed. It had claws instead of hands, a long tail with a forked end and a gray body along which something that looked like exposed veins ran. Its head had horns on the sides and big, yellow, snakelike eyes, but no visible mouth. It looked around at the other monsters. “Food”, it hissed. “It is time. I will now feast upon you, and your strength shall be mine. We shall become one, and many in one. And together, you shall help me avenge myself upon Ultraman Pole and Iron, both of whom have foiled me times enough.” As it talked, the controlled monsters gathered around her, and the “wings” grew farther out, merging with her arms, creating a gigantic, toothy mouth. “It begins...” C.A.T HQ, Stefansborg, Sweden ”You know”, Tanja said to Peter when they were hanging out at the headquarters. “I’ve been thinking.” “Yes”, Peter nodded, “That’s very typical for you.” “No, I mean, the monster girl. Boganne or whatever.” “Bogar?” Peter asked. “SHE’S the one who’s been thinking?” “I’VE been thinking about her”, Tanja said grumpily. “Want to be her best friend?” Peter laughed. “But seriously, what about her?” “She disappeared after Great Lake. We haven’t heard from her since then. I’m worried. She might be planning something.” “I guess”, Peter nodded, “But we can’t predict her strikes. We’ll just have to wait until she shows herself.” He then yawned and looked out the window. He saw an Ultra Sign in the sky. Peter said “I think I’ll go out for a while.” “Can I come with you?” Tanja asked. Peter shook his head. “I want some time to myself, sorry.” Tanja’s face turned to an angry red. “Well”, she exploded, “I don’t need to go with you anyway!” and she ran off, leaving a confused Peter. Downtown Stefansborg, Sweden Later, Peter was walking down Tor’s Street in the dark. It’s easy to upset that girl, isn’t it? he heard Pole say in his head. Yeah, he replied. She’s been like that as long as I’ve known her. How long is that? Four years. She joined C.A.T two years ago, like me. We’re old airforce buddies. The airforce? Is that the name of the soldiers with airplanes? Yes, Peter smiled. I always forget you don’t know so much about our planet. But in return, you know nothing of mine. Hey, there he is. Peter looked and saw Max/Iron standing at the corner. “Good day, Ultraman Pole. And, of course, Peter”, he said. “What do you want, Iron?” Peter asked. “I searched for any possible hint of the new Bogar’s presence. I discovered a group of monsters on Mars, near Colony-16, but they recently vanished.” Oh no… Pole exclaimed. That’s bad. “Very much so”, Iron nodded. “Why?” Peter asked. “What do they have to do with her?” Peter, Pole began, do you remember that she eats monsters? “Oh yeah”, Peter nodded. “She gains power by eating monsters”, Iron finished. “If all of those monsters, and they were at least five, just disappeared so suddenly…” “…Then she must’ve gotten a real boost”, Peter nodded. “Adding to that is my second discovery”, Iron continued, “These pictures are from European orbital satellites.” He gave a couple of pictures to Peter. One showed a distant, grey object in space, the other showed a gigantic, yellow, snakelike eye staring at the camera. “I found out that all contact with the satellite was lost just after that second picture”, Iron said. “I am pretty sure that eye matches Bogar’s eyes from this picture, showing the Bogar Ultraman Mebius and Hikari fought so long ago.” “So it’s her, too”, Peter nodded. “And the satellite was over Stefansborg”, Iron finished. “She’s here.” “Stupid Peter”, Tanja muttered as she walked down the street somewhere else in the city. “It really is impossible for you to play along, isn't it...” “Interesting”, she heard a menacing voice behind her. When she looked, she saw the girl in white! “YOU!” Tanja yelled. “You monster!” “Yes”, the girl nodded. “Me monster. You human. I am happy we know our respective species. Now, I understand you are dear to him.” “What…?” Tanja exclaimed. “What’re you talking about?” “You are dear to him. To the host of Ultraman Pole.” “Ultraman…? You know who he is?” “Why, yes of course. His name is Peter Ström.” “Peter…” Tanja repeated. “…I knew it.” “As did I”, the girl said. “And I’m afraid I will have to use you to lure him out and kill him.” “YOU MONSTER!” Tanja cried, drew her beam-gun and fired several shots at the girl. The girl barely flinched as the shots harmlessly impacted her chest, and held out a hand towards Tanja. From it, she emitted a shockwave that knocked Tanja down on the ground, and used telekinesis to draw Tanja’s gun to her hand. “I thought we’d covered that topic”, the girl muttered as she looked at the gun in an almost curious manner. “Will you come with me now?” “What… What ARE you…?” Tanja choked up between her horrified tears. And now, the always so emotionless girl smiled. “I am the monster princess”, she said. June 2nd, 2044 C.A.T HQ, Stefansborg, Sweden The next day at C.A.T’s HQ, Johan ran around the building, room after room, with a pile of big letters. After a while, he bumped into Captain Emelie. “Whoa, slow down!” she said on her brief journey towards the floor. “What’s the rush? We in a war?” “No, sorry boss”, Johan apologized as he helped her up. “I was just trying to find Tanja to give her all of her comic book subscriptions before Mysterious and Strange Unexplained Enigmas with No Answers Yet starts on TV.” “Yes, she’s late”, Emelie said as she brushed herself off. “She doesn’t oversleep that often, does she?” “No”, Johan agreed. “And she left early yesterday, too.” “Sleeping in is your job”, Emelie said. “I’m a bit worried.” “Thanks boss, real nice”, Johan muttered. “All right, I’ll just place the stuff in her storage.” “Peter”, Casper said. “What?” the sleepy Peter muttered. He’d been up all night trying to help Pole learn a new special technique to beat Bogar. “You’ll go wake Tanja up.” “Wake her up?” Peter repeated. “Yes”, Casper nodded. “She’s overslept.” “Well ain’t that great”, Peter muttered. “All right, then. I’m going.” Stenbruk District, Stefansborg The Stenbruk district was often comically referred to as the Uh-Oh district by the inhabitants of Stefansborg. It had the city’s largest crime rate, and most of it was full of shabby buildings and drunkards. Rarely did anyone clean here. Rarely did anyone want to go here. By this description, dear reader, you can probably assume already that Tanja lived in the Stenbruk district. Given that she was not at the base, Peter assumed she had gone to her own home against regulations. Possibly, it was his fault. “Tanja!” Peter yelled as he rang her doorbell. “I want you to get up and get to HQ, and I want you to do it YESTERDAY!” Peter… Pole began. NO, I’m not being too harsh, Peter snapped. She KNOWS our duty hours, and I am tired! No, it’s not that. I’ve got a bad feeling. Oh? What? Break the door down. Break it down? Why? And HOW? My gut feelings are usually right. And you can with your bare hands, if you like. Remember I am sharing my abilities with you. And be prepared, I don’t know what’s inside. All right… Peter said. He backed away, drew his beam gun, then kicked the door, which easily gave in to his superhuman strength. As he ran in, gun prepared, he was greeted by a scorpion-like humanoid creature, slightly taller than him. “What are you!?” he exclaimed. “What have you done with Tanja?” “I am merely a minion…” the creature said with a hissing voice. “I am sent by Bogara, the princess of monsters!” “Princess of monsters? The spawn of Bogar?” “That is correct”, the creature said. “The human called Tanja is safe for now. Not here.” “Where is she?” Peter yelled, aiming at the creature. “What does Bogar want?” “Bogara”, the creature corrected. “You are to find her and Tanja at an abandoned factory where humans have produced bubbly drinks.” “I know what it is”, Peter said. “So what’re you going to do now? Kill me?” But he’d barely finished talking, when the creature seemingly dissolved into a grey-purple liquid that covered the floor. It’s harmless, Pole mumbled. He just committed suicide. Looks like his entire purpose was to deliver the message, Peter nodded. I’ll have to notify C.A.T. I don’t think we should, Pole said. It might put Tanja in danger. Let us go to the factory this thing spoke of instead. We can’t take her alone! We won’t. I’m big. Iron will see us. Former Yumsoda factory, “Uh-Oh” district, Stefansborg Yumsoda was once the foremost Scandinavian soda company. When the original Gigantus incident destroyed their main office, however, they never recovered. Since nobody REALLY cared about Stenbruk, their factory there was left to age. Kids tended to play in the factory when it wasn’t occupied by crooks. When Peter entered it, however, it was eerily silent. Slowly stepping over the broken glass on the floor, he held his gun drawn. “Hello…?” he said nervously. Pole might’ve had a chance against Bogara, but Peter was completely defenseless. “Here, enemy”, he heard a hissing voice. When he looked around, he saw Bogara. Next to her was Tanja, completely unconscious. “Tanja!” he exclaimed and ran up to her. She was breathing, her heart was beating… he sighed in relief. “You monster!” he then shouted at Bogara, firing his gun at her to no effect other than burning small holes in her clothing. “That phrase… is it some sort of battlecry?” she mumbled. “Well, I’m here”, Peter said. “What have you done with Tanja?” “She is perfectly fine”, Bogara said. “But she won’t be unless you meet my demands.” “Demands?” Peter repeated. “You wanna blackmail me?” “What I want”, Bogara said “involves no black letters. I want to fight Ultraman Pole. One-on-one.” “Oh… crap”, Peter muttered. “I want to fight without the intervention of C.A.T or Ultraman Iron. He will get his anyway. If you choose not to allow me the battle, I shall crush the girl’s chest with my powers.” Not quite according to plan, was it? Peter muttered in his head. I’ll try, Pole replied. We can’t allow her to hurt Tanja. “All right, Bogara”, Peter nodded. “You’ll get your fight.” “Good”, Bogara said. “Where will our battlefield be?” “There’s a park big enough near here”, Peter said. “We can fight there.” “No”, Bogara said. “That would put too many innocent people in danger. When I have previously summoned monsters, I gave people the chance to run. We shall fight outside of the city’s limits.” Peter was honestly surprised. “I didn’t know you cared”, he said. “They are not my enemies. Only you, C.A.T and Ultraman Iron are.” “Good point”, Peter nodded. “Then we’ll fight in Oskarsberg Valley next to town. It’s where Pole met the first of your pets.” “How fitting that I end him there, then”, Bogara nodded. She snapped her fingers, and both of them were transported to the valley. In the valley, Bogara jumped high up in the air and flew up in the clouds. What’s she doing? Peter wondered. She’s transforming… Pole said. Use the bracelet now. Peter nodded and used the bracelet to transform into Ultraman Pole. As the blue and silver warrior stood ready in the valley, the monstrous Bogara soared down from the sky. “Now, enemy”, the monster hissed, “You will die.”
