Just as those aliens, beaten beyond recognition by Saize, were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked their path.
As soon as the figure appeared, he pointed angrily at Saize and shouted, "How can you act so recklessly and bully these weak people at will!"
Saize looked closely and couldn't help being stunned. This person turned out to be Kurenai Gai, the human host of Ultraman Orb, also known as the Debt King.
At this moment, another figure quickly ran over, holding a sharp sword in his hand. He was none other than Juggler.
Seeing Gai surrounded by a group of people emitting powerful energy, Juggler felt a shock in his heart. Especially when he noticed the man standing in the center whom Gai was pointing at and questioning, he felt an immeasurable force. However, Juggler only hesitated for a moment before resolutely raising the sword in his hand and rushing toward that group of people without a second thought.
Saize just glanced at him indifferently, then kicked out lightly. Juggler instantly flew backward like a kite with a cut string. Seeing this, Gai became frantic with anxiety and threw a punch without hesitation, wanting to avenge Juggler. Unfortunately, his fist couldn't even touch the corner of Saize's clothes before he was swatted away, landing on his knees on the ground alongside Juggler.
After a patient and thorough explanation by Aijingliya, Gai finally came to his senses and realized that he had misunderstood Saize. As for Juggler beside him, he had simply rushed forward on a sudden impulse without asking who was right or wrong.
After introductions, Gai and Juggler enthusiastically led the Ultras around to sightsee, admiring beautiful scenic spots and tasting local delicacies. Time passed quickly, and before long, the group arrived at the foot of the Peak of Warriors.
Kurenai Gai introduced to everyone, "This is the legendary Peak of Warriors on Planet O-50. Our warriors climbed this mountain back then and won the approval of the Ring of Light to become Ultra Warriors."
Then he turned to Juggler and said, "By the way, Juggler and I are going to climb the Peak of Warriors today, so we won't be able to keep accompanying you all on the tour."
At this time, Saize, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "I want to go with you. I'd really like to see that legendary Ring of Light as well."
The teacher leading the group glanced at Saize, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement, "Alright. We're staying here for a few days anyway, so you can go."
Thus, led by Gai and Juggler, Saize joined them in beginning the climb up the Peak of Warriors.
They climbed for I don't know how long, but the three still could not see the summit. The mountain road was rugged and difficult, and the steep peaks seemed impossible to conquer. However, they did not give up, continuing to climb upward step by step. Sweat soaked their clothes, but their eyes were filled with firmness and determination.
As they climbed, they suddenly heard Gai shout at the top of his lungs, "I see the peak! Hang in there a bit longer!" This sentence seemed to inject new strength into everyone, rejuvenating their exhausted bodies. Soon after, the three finally reached the summit.
They saw Juggler eagerly stepping forward to touch it, but the next moment he was knocked flying by a powerful force, crashing heavily onto the ground. Seeing this, Kurenai Gai stepped forward without hesitation and touched it. A flash of light appeared, and when the light dissipated, a small sword had appeared in Kurenai Gai's hand.
Juggler stared blankly at the jubilant Kurenai Gai, a surge of loss welling up in his heart. He silently stood up, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes. At this moment, Gai walked over, hugged Juggler, and shouted excitedly, "Juggler! I've been approved!"
Right at that moment, the small sword in Gai's hand suddenly shone with a dazzling radiance, and immediately afterward, a beam of light shot out from the tip of the blade, forming a string of mysterious characters in the air. "What is this?" Juggler asked curiously. "It's a mission sent to us by the Ring of Light!" Kurenai Gai replied excitedly.
Before his voice had even faded, the Orb Calibur quickly encircled Juggler, Kurenai Gai, and Saize, charging with them deep into the cosmos. The speed was so fast that the three of them had no time to react and could only hug the hilt tightly to avoid being thrown off.
"Ah!" Saize screamed, realizing he hadn't had time to notify the group leader before being carried away. So he immediately sent an Ultra Sign so the teacher wouldn't worry.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived on an unfamiliar planet. The environment here was extremely harsh, and a dangerous aura permeated everywhere. Thick smoke billowed in the sky like a dark cloud enveloping the entire planet. The ground was covered in broken rocks and sharp thorns, as if warning people not to approach lightly.
"Where is this?" Juggler looked around and said vigilantly. His gaze was filled with doubt, and he seemed very uneasy about this place.
"I don't know, but since it's a mission from the Ring of Light, we must complete it," Kurenai Gai said with a firm gaze. His voice revealed an indomitable determination, as if no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would march forward without hesitation.
This must be the storyline of Ultraman Orb The Origin Saga, Saize thought to himself. His eyes flickered with the light of wisdom, and he seemed to have a unique understanding of everything happening before him.
Suddenly the earth shook, and a huge monster crawled out from underground. This monster was named Nairak, and its body was unimaginably huge, exuding a terrifying aura. Seeing this, Kurenai Gai immediately transformed into Ultraman Orb and engaged the monster in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, Saize and Juggler walked toward a small cabin they had just discovered. The cabin was dilapidated, its walls covered in cracks as if it could collapse at any moment. A decaying odor hung inside the room, causing one to involuntarily frown.
Walking inside, they saw a couple lying on the ground, both with deep stab wounds on their necks. Saize pondered to himself on the side, "I remember the original plot wasn't like this! Could it be that my arrival has changed some things?"
Saize stared at the dead couple, countless questions welling up in his heart. His brow was furrowed tight, as if trying to discern something from the corpses. Meanwhile, Juggler searched around the room, trying to find clues to unravel this mystery. Suddenly, Juggler discovered something unusual: "Look here!" He pointed to a painting on the wall, which showed a happy family of three. Hearing this, Saize walked closer to the portrait and observed it carefully. He noticed that the child in the photo was holding a circular object, and fell into deep thought.
"I think these two were laid low here by a puppet venomous toxin injected by monster clones called Queen," Saize slowly said.
"You mean they're still alive?" Juggler asked in surprise.
"No, they can no longer be considered alive. However, we must find that child; perhaps he knows the truth," Saize said firmly.
However, looking around, Juggler couldn't help feeling a sense of despair: "But this place is uninhabited with only this one house, where on earth are we supposed to find that child?"
Right at that moment, a harrowing scream reached their ears: "Ah! Help! Are you two ever going to finish, hurry up and save me!"
Hearing this sound, the two suddenly snapped back to reality—Gai was still locked in combat with the monster! So the two quickly rushed out the door. The sight before them shocked them immensely—Orb was pinned beneath the monster, constantly suffering attacks.
Juggler was just about to step in to help when he felt a hand reach out from beside him and gently tap his shoulder. Then, a familiar voice rang out: "You take a break. I'm afraid that once I finish fighting the monster, I won't be able to help myself from taking care of Kurenai Gai too. His fighting style is simply too terrible, utterly unwatchable!"
Before Juggler could reply, Saize had already taken action. He turned the Z mark on his bracelet, and a black-and-purple lightning instantly wrapped around his body. As his body gradually grew larger, the black lightning slowly dissipated, and Saize's giant form appeared before everyone.
Immediately following that, Saize raised his hand and fired a black lightning bolt that accurately struck Nairak. With a loud crash, Nairak exploded directly.
At this moment, Orb struggled up from the ground and shouted at Saize, "Saize, this is no way for an Ultra Warrior to fight!" However, the response he received was a resounding Ultra slap to the face.
