EPISODE XVI: TUNNEL SYSTEM July 25th, 2044 Kiruna, north Sweden And so passed another peaceful day in Kiruna… or perhaps not. From the mountain burst a giant monster, breaking the peaceful silence. It was brown, with rock-like skin and a yellow beak. On its head was a yellow horn, and it sported a long, big tail. It stood on two legs, had a pair of almost humanlike arms, and roared a high-pitched sound. Its name was Burtannus. C.A.T was already on their way, the entire jet squadron ready to fight the monster. “C.A.T unit, scatter!” Casper shouted. Only a second after, Burtannus turned around, charged her horn with energy, and finally fired a stream of lightning from it. The C.A.T jets scattered just in time, and Peter and Taiki followed up directly with a stream of beams fired upon the monster’s back. Burtannus roared again and continued firing her lightning beam. “Pretty slow for electricity”, Tanja said, and happily fired a missile on Burtannus. The missile hit her side, and the monster stepped around, roaring painfully. It did not appear wounded, however. “Moving in for attack”, Johan informed, but just as he flew towards the monster, Burtannus suddenly dug herself extremely quickly into the ground, disappearing entirely. “What…?” Peter gasped. “It’s gone!” “Let’s circle the area for a while”, Casper said. “If it doesn’t come up, we’ll simply have to fly back.” Said and done, the C.A.T team soon returned, unable to find the monster again. As they left, Burtannus continued her journey underground. July 26th, 2044 C.A.T HQ, Stefansborg “Recap”, Captain Emelie sighed. “We found a monster, we intercepted it and we lost it. The monster just burrowed into the ground.” “That’s right”, Taiki nodded. “It’s definitely not uncommon to find rapidly burrowing monsters. Japan has dealt with scores of them.” “Do you recognize this particular one?” Johan asked Taiki. “Not really, no…” “I do”, Emelie said. “I went through all files I could, and the profile matches Burtannus, a monster that appeared in Kyoto during the nineties.” As she talked, a picture and information about Burtannus streamed up on the big screen in the meeting room. “Not much is said about it”, she continued. “Burtannus fought one of the Japanese teams, D.A.S.H, and retreated into the sea. It appears to have moved here.” “It seems to do hit-and-run attacks”, Casper noted. “We’ve got to be ready for anything. Monitor the area around Kiruna.” The other team members nodded, and so did Emelie. Later, Peter was by himself in a corner of the recreational room. Pole, he said to his alien guest, how come you aren’t worried about what happened last week? It gave me the power to defeat Necrona, Pole replied. That’s all that matters to me. You shouldn’t be so worried… lots of Ultrans have gained similar transformations. Recently we had Ultraman Mebius. He transformed so much I’m surprised they have a decent document picture in Japan. But this can’t be like that. When you transformed, I felt as if I was getting pulled out of your body… and I kept sensing this feeling of hatred. You don’t suppose that might be connected to the fact that Necrona Seijin was, and is, the most disgusting fiend we’ve faced so far? That’s not what worries me. I’m worried because the hatred wasn’t yours… “What’s the business, Captain Charming?” he suddenly heard Tanja’s voice distracting him. “Uh… I… well…” he mumbled. “Yes?” she smiled. “Nothing… I was just thinking”, he said. “Oh well, penny for your thoughts.” “This Burtannus thing”, he lied. “I don’t like sitting and waiting like this.” “Well, I bet it’s more fun if you have something to look forward to!” Tanja kept smiling. “Like what?” Peter muttered. “I’ve got something”, Tanja said and held up something. Concert tickets. “You’re asking me to a concert?” the confused Peter said. “My brother bought them, but his girlfriend turned out to be cheating”, Tanja explained. “He gave them to me, but I don’t have anyone to go with. They’re for the Pencilheads concert this weekend… want to join me?” “Er… I actually don’t like the Pencilheads that much…” Peter said, but upon seeing Tanja’s hypnotic, slightly blushing puppy-dog eyes, he added “…but of course I’ll join you.” Just as Tanja began smiling at her success, the warning signal went off, and Johan appeared around the corner. “Burtannus came out again!” Umeå, north Sweden Burtannus roared loudly and climbed out of her dug hole. Gazing upon the houses around her, she saw blinking warning lights guiding the people away. The lights irritated her, and she fired her horn’s lightning bolt upon the first building housing them, destroying it. Then she destroyed the second, and then the third… That’s when C.A.T arrived, firing a volley of beams upon her back. Burtannus roared in anger and fired lightning bolts at the offenders to no use. They were too fast. “This monster’s real stubborn!” Casper grinned. “Try the Specium Missile!” Taiki nodded and fired more lightning bolts, catching the monster’s attention. As Burtannus fired her inaccurate beam, Johan fired a blue, glowing missile at the monster’s side. The missile exploded on impact, knocking Burtannus over and rolling, but she soon regained her footing and began digging again. “It’s getting away!” Tanja exclaimed. “Oh no, you don’t!” Peter shouted and fired a regular missile at the monster, but she barely reacted and soon reached hiding underground once more. July 28th, 2044 C.A.T HQ, Stefansborg Johan was taking a walk outside. This was nothing he did with great enthusiasm, as he couldn’t really go anywhere else than inside the walls of the HQ. C.A.T was on constant alert, and so was the army. Aware now, that they were unable to stop the monsters themselves, the Swedish forces spent their resources in this crisis to track the beast. At present, it was digging underground near Luleå, proving how fast it was, having apparently begun to zigzag up and down the massive distances making up northern Sweden. He sighed, and looked up in the sky. “Will Ultraman fix this for us too?” he mumbled. He sat down on the ground and began watching some ants. Damn it, he thought, now they needed to get rid of bugs too. As he watched the insects, however, he got an idea. “Explain that again”, Emelie said. “Well, I was watching ants earlier”, Johan said enthusiastically. “And I realized that ants don’t appear in the winter because it’s too cold. They need to dig their way to their nests… so I thought we could try that with Burtannus. If we use the freeze beams we used against Kradon on the ground, we might even make it solid enough to stop Burtannus from escaping!” “Interesting plan”, Emelie nodded. “It’s worth a shot. Get ready to move out at any time.” The entire team nodded and rushed to re-outfit their aircraft’s custom weaponry. Later, Peter sat by himself once again in his corner of the recreational room. Hey, Pole, he told Ultraman Pole, if we fight Burtannus as Ultraman, will you still be purple like that? No, the energy’s gone, Pole replied. I think it only comes when needed… or if I grow enraged. It’s no good to give in to something like that, Peter noted. Ever seen Star Wars? Seen what? Forget it. My point is, strength may not be the only effect of it. “Sitting here alone again?” he suddenly heard Taiki say. “That’s funny, you don’t really look like the loner type.” “Your eyes can deceive you”, Peter quoted, “don’t trust them.” “Nice. Star Wars, isn’t it? Listen, Burtannus emerged from the ground in the middle of nowhere. It’s our best chance at fighting it without doing any damage to property. Get ready.” Nowhere, or more precisely in the middle of it Burtannus roared and began walking around the little valley. Not aware of any enemies this time, she walked around peacefully and chewed on the trees. Roaring irritadedly at the sunlight, she took her aggressions out by firing her thunder beam on the ground for a while. That’s when C.A.T arrived, the five jets ready for battle. Burtannus noticed them and immediately fired her beam against the opposing force. “Scatter!” Casper shouted, and everyone obeyed. Taiki and Tanja fired a volley of beams against Burtannus’ shoulders, distracting her long enough for them to pass by unharmed. The others flew to suitable positions on the first side. “Activate freeze beam!” Casper commanded. “Target is the ground!” the team dove down, ready to fire the freeze beams… “WAIT!” Peter screamed. “There are non-combatants on the ground!” And very truly, a family of campers looked in horror upon the battle. “D-damn… what do we do now?” Tanja said. Suddenly, Taiki dove down towards the family. “Get ready to fire the beams”, he said, and fired off a beam at the family. It was the shield beam used against Fukumono! A spherical barrier encased the campers, shielding them. Almost directly after the C.A.T team fired their freeze weapons, in the humorous irony it is. Blue beams impacted the ground, which began to turn blue as well. Burtannus stepped around irritadedly, her feet stepping on the biting cold ground, and C.A.T began emptying their weapons on her. The dinosaur was engulfed in explosions, and tried to dig herself away, but the ground was too solid. She fired around wildly with her electric beam and hit both Tanja and Peter. The two jets circled down and landed calmly. Suddenly, Burtannus turned to the family of campers. The shield had vanished by now, and she charged up for another electric beam, fired, and… Ultraman Pole suddenly got in between, blocking the attack. He then rose and assumed a battle stance, ready to fight Burtannus. “It’s Ultraman!” Johan cheered. “Let’s leave the battle to him!” “This is going to be tough”, Casper said. “It’s more powerful than many other monsters.” “Wow”, Taiki said in awe. “It’s the first time I get to see this Ultran…” Burtannus let out a raging roar at her new foe and charged. Pole grabbed her shoulders and kneed her chest, then tossed her to the side. Burtannus regained her footing quickly and swung her big tail at Pole, hitting his head and sending him rolling. As soon as he got up, she charged again, but he kicked her face, karate-chopped her neck and uppercut her jaw. He then did a backflip and placed himself in a ready position. Burtannus fired her electric beam, but Pole jumped to the side. He then held out his fists and fired a beam from his knuckles; it was his version of Ultraseven’s Knuckle Beam. The beam hit Burtannus in the stomach, sending her backing. Burtannus was far from defeated. She charged with surprising speed and rammed Pole, head first, hitting his Color Timer. A small mark was left, and Pole flew backwards, screaming in pain. The Color Timer was his weak spot. Not only that, it had started to blink now. Burtannus started slamming her tail down on the Ultran repeatedly, but he managed to roll away and regain footing. When Burtannus charged, Pole encased his fist in energy and punched her face. The powerful attack toppled the monster, but she got up once more. Pole followed up with his Polium Rain, shooting a stream of blasts from his color timer. Burtannus stepped around trying futilely to avoid the beams, and charged her horn again, turning to Pole. Pole threw a slashing blade from his hand, cutting the horn clean off. The energy flowed back into Burtannus, effectively shocking the monster herself. Pole then held his hands forward with his palms together, like a spear, then formed an X with his arms and fired his Polium Ray. Burtannus was hit head-on, but proved very resistant to the attack. Pole continued, and after a moment the monster violently exploded. Burtannus’ reign of fear in Sweden was at an end! July 31st, 2044 Pencilheads Concert, Somewhere in Stefansborg As the audience cheered, and as the band played its loud, radical music, Peter and Tanja stood by the side. “Come on”, Peter smiled. “You know I don’t like this kind of music. What’s the real reason you had to drag me here?” “I just like you”, Tanja smiled, blushing a bit. “You know that, don’t you?” “Of course I do”, Peter nodded. “You’ve liked me since we first met.” “But…” she replied, “Why didn’t you ever say anything?” “Why would I say anything?” Peter wondered. “Don’t you get it?” Tanja said, her smile fading a bit. “We could have been something. Something good.” “That’s not a good idea, Tanja”, Peter muttered. “Be professional. We’re a team. We can’t afford hindering the work with something like that.” Tanja stared at him for a long time. Peter looked back, and noticed the girl getting a bit tear-eyed. “Go away”, she muttered and turned around. Peter said something in response, but it drowned in the sound of the band.
