03x10 - The Disaster

[bunniefuu]

Damn you!

Let her go!

Come and get her!

You are not trying hard enough.

I fear there's a greater power
within you still.

The idea was to frame Ultraman?

Exactly.

Those were Mephisto's orders.

That's why my brother took
on Ultraman's form

and went berserk attacking
that concert venue.

I didn't think him getting k*lled
would be part of the plan though.

You were trying to isolate Ultraman,
I get it.

Turn the whole world against him.

But what happens after that?

Don't ask me. How would I know?

I'm just gonna end up like him.

One way or another, aren't I?

Hmm.

Oh, no! Stay away!

Ah-ha.

I know
you must have more than this.

What will make you show me
your real power?

Perhaps, this will do it.

Rena!

Ultraman?

You see what you've forced me
to resort to by your stubbornness!

Ultraman?

So I told him if you ever
want to see your kids again, you...

This is the real Ultraman.

Violent. Ruthless.

Without any regard
for the collateral damage he causes.

He's not a man at all.

But an unfeeling weapon
of mass destruction.

It doesn't make sense.

Sir, I've never seen anything

- like this.
- What's going on?

It's Shinjiro, sir.

His Specium energy levels
overwhelming the suit's capacity.

What?

It's just beginning.

There's nothing good or decent

about that kind of violence.

Nor anything heroic.

In fact, Ultraman is really nothing more
than a wild beast in hero's clothing.

He and all the Ultramen are a menace

and a threat to the Earth.

No, to the universe.

I see.

Yes, and this is more like it.

This is power on the level of...

...the Giant of Light.

Ultraman.

Ultraman!

Ultraman!

Huh?

Huh?

No, Dad!

BREAKING NEWS

A FIERCE BATTLE BETWEEN
ULTRAMAN AND MEPHISTO?!

Whoa!

It looks like he's about to open fire!

He's aiming at the city!

Oh. Are you serious?

Ah, yes!

This energy!

This is what I've been waiting for!

Good god.

What has he done?

Ultraman!

Ultraman!

Shinjiro!

Shinjiro!

Shinjiro, wake up!

Shinjiro, wake up!

Wake up!

Shinjiro.

Rena, I'm sorry.

But I don't think
I have the strength to fly.

Shinjiro!

Oh, Shinjiro.

Well, if it isn't young love.

Oh, boy.

Hey, did you see that?

What happened?

You nearly did end up
like your friend.

Huh?

You mean you...

you saved me?

You're my only material witness.

Let's get going.

Whoa, wait!

What do you mean?

Damn it.

Ugh, hell.

Where am I?

Huh?

Rena!

You'll have to be sure and thank her
for saving you.

Seiji?

Who would have thought it, huh?

That Rena here would be an Ultraman?

Lucky thing for you she is because...

...boy, I would not have wanted
to pick up the pieces

after you hit the ground.

Not even the suit would have saved you.

Well, what's up?

You're awake?

Oh.

Ah, this is my old man.

Ah, you've met before, right?

Yeah.

At last, the mask has been pulled off

and the true face of Ultraman revealed.

The face of a brutal and unfeeling menace

that threatens
the very existence of humanity.

Man, can you believe what they're saying?

That's the thanks you get
from trying to save the planet.

Huh?

Who could that be at this hour?

Huh?

Oh, it's you.

Hi...

Eh...

Huh? You again?

I'm holding him
as a material witness.

Yeah. But... but...

I know. I know.

Sorry about before.

But the fact is we were deceived
as much as you were.

Yeah.
Well, you're still not off the hook.

So what happened out there?

What was that?

I'm not sure.

I got so angry that my mind
was controlled over my power,

and the next thing I knew I...

You nearly became
the Giant of Light, didn't you?

Uh, how did you know?

Bemular was afraid this might happen.

In fact, it was the thing
he worried about the most.

It was?

Yeah.

This was always Bemular's
worst-case scenario

and what makes it even worse,

is that he picked now
of all times to disappear.

Mephisto's been defeated.

So what have we got to worry about?

The enemy's plans are still moving forward
even without him.

Look at this.

BREAKING NEWS

Experts have yet to determine
the nature of the mysterious light

emanating from Mephisto's spacecraft.

What is that thing?

Ah, I don't know. I swear. I have no idea!

That's a Subspace Gate.

What's it doing there?

Something is being summoned.

Something big.

The energy from your Specium Beam
is being used against you.

So you're saying,

Mephisto was never really the mastermind
behind this whole thing?

Don't do it.

Public Security has taken over the SSSP.

I just got word from Jack.

Head back there now,
they'll just take you in too.

Sure if it came to a fight,
you'd crush them.

But how would that really
improve this situation?

It might be smart to lay low here
for a while until things get clearer.

Shinjiro, what are you thinking?

Uh... Mm...

What?
You got no more fight in you?

Are you all done?

Huh?

I guess I'm scared.

I mean, you've seen it.

You've seen what happens to me.

How many innocent people could get hurt

or even die
because I can't control my powers?

And what happens if I...

if the next time I lose control,

I can never get it back again.

"I don't wanna hurt anyone."

"I wanna be the kind of Ultraman
who saves people

and never causes anyone pain."

Yeah.

I recall a young fool saying that once.

Moroboshi.

I'd have thought
he would have grown up by now.

Guess I was wrong.

Ah, wait! Wait! What about me?

Stay here and keep an eye on him.

Me?

You'll be safe enough here.

Safe as anywhere.

Fine with you?

Uh...

No.

- Eh...
- We're not really letting him stay here.

Man, does this suck.

Huh?

Where are you going?

Look after Rena for me.

Okay.

But you owe me one.

I sure do. Thank you.

I'm not sure you should have let him go.

Couldn't have stopped him if I wanted to.

The other option might
have been better, after all.

Well, hold on.

Are you saying there's
a better way we could handle this?

Well, in fact,
that's the reason I came back.

But from the looks of it,
I don't think it'll work.

Moroboshi.

In spite of what I said,

I wanna come along with you
and try to do what I can.

Do whatever you want.

Okay.

So, where is it we're going, anyway?

Where do you think?

This is crazy.

The whole place is surrounded.

What do you even wanna go in there for?

There's something I wanna check.

We just have to find a way
to get past those sentries, that's all.

Well, I guess I got here
right in time then.

I told you to stay there.
What do you think you're doing?

I want to help.

I feel like I owe you for not k*lling me.

Plus...

...I'd make a pretty handy distraction.

Good work.

Stop right there!

- I said stop!
- Hey, there!

How is it going?

Open fire! Take him out!

After him!

More units to the front gate.

There's an Ultraman out here.

Mr. Arashi was right.

Huh?

Shall we look for another way around?

What's up?

They need you both out in front.

We're here to relieve you.

All right.

- Hoshiyama.
- Huh?

It's me.

Moroboshi?

We sure could have used you.

Jack, Kotaro, and Mr. Ide
have been arrested.

I know.

Calm down.

Bring up all of Ultraman's
combat data until now.

Right.

Can you bring up
the access log for this data?

Yeah.

Just as I thought.

Someone's been bypassing

the security protocols
that access this data

and send it out.

Hey.

Hold on a second.

That... that's my test suit data.

Shinjiro?

All this data too?

Right here is when you started
to show signs of losing control.

Even access
to battle data from that fight

with Alien Pedant a year ago.

Do you think they might
have been using it to analyze

the Specium Beam energy?

- Hold on.
- What is it?

Whoever it is,

they've been leaking
the Ultraman suit's location information,

the test suits too.

The only person who could do that is...

Mr. Ide?

Not quite.

Huh? Yeah.

There was someone else
who was really insistent

on the test suit being used.

Huh?

What is that?

It's outside. Coming closer.

Huh?

It was you all along.

Ah, you finally came.

Mr. Edo!

A magnificent view,

isn't it, Moroboshi?

Don't you think so too, Shinjiro?
