Time flies, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye. Inside Zoffy's solemn office, he paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, consumed with worry over Saize's resurrection. Every step seemed weighed down by immense pressure, and his tightly furrowed brow betrayed his inner anxiety and unease.
Just then, a hurried knock on the door shattered the heavy atmosphere within the room. Immediately afterward, Hikari pushed the door open in a rush and strode in, his face overflowing with an uncontainable excitement. "First Commander, there's a way! As long as we gather the light of all the citizens across the land, we can infuse Saize with new life!"
This news was like a ray of dawn piercing the darkness, instantly igniting a flame of hope in Zoffy's heart. Without the slightest hesitation, they swung into action, issuing an emergency summons to the entire Land of Light.
Before long, the streets and alleys of the Land of Light were bustling with activity. People flocked from all directions, carrying deep reverence and anticipation for the hero Saize, rushing toward the Ultra Grand Square without a second thought. In an instant, the square was packed with a sea of people, countless eyes flashing with resolute light.
Zoffy stepped onto the high platform, his gaze sweeping across the densely packed crowd below him.
At that moment, he felt an unprecedented surge of power welling up in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he used his formidable telepathy to speak in a ringing voice: "My dear compatriots, I presume everyone already knows the purpose of this gathering. I need say no more here; I believe Hikari has already informed you of the situation. Right now, we urgently need to borrow the shining light from every single one of you, to jointly bestow the power of rebirth upon our great hero of the Land of Light—Saize! Let us pull together and weather this storm as one!"
As his voice trailed off, thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the scene. The impassioned emotions of the crowd surged like towering waves, one higher than the next. In that moment, everyone's hearts beat as one, striving together toward a single goal.
People raised their arms one after another, releasing the light within themselves. Streaks of brilliant light streaked across the sky like shooting stars, converging into a dazzling ocean of light. The radiance grew increasingly intense, resembling a colossal tower of light that illuminated the entire Land of Light.
In the center of the ocean of light, Saize's form gradually emerged. His eyes were tightly closed, his expression serene, as if he were drawing strength from deep slumber.
As the light continued to pour in, Saize's body began to emit a faint glow. The shouts of the crowd grew louder still, their voices conveying their blessings and expectations for Saize.
Yet no matter how anxiously everyone waited, Saize kept his eyes tightly shut, showing no signs of awakening. Just as all the Ultramen were gripped by overwhelming disappointment, an unexpected scene unfolded—high above the Ultra Grand Square, four towering and mysterious figures suddenly materialized out of thin air! In a flash, the entire square plunged into dead silence, followed immediately by an outbreak of startled gasps. "It... it's those four legendary mysterious warriors!"
Those four mysterious warriors were none other than the renowned Legend, Noa, Saga, and Ultraman King! Looking solemn, they raised their arms in unison, their palms blossoming with four blindingly brilliant rays of light. These rays seemed possessed of endless power, streaking across the firmament like shooting stars as they hurtled straight toward the fallen Saize, rapidly sinking into his body.
"System, oh System, please just let me out! Staying in here is so terribly boring (╥﹏╥). Sigh, fine!"
Once the light dissipated, the crowd watched in astonishment as Saize now gripped Black Feather tightly in his hand, an illusory projection of Noa's wings hovering behind his back. At the same time, a faint phantom of the Ultra King's chest armor flickered across his chest, the silhouette of Legend's head crest sprouted above his head, and even his color timer bore the outline of Saga's timer.
The very next instant, these illusory projections surged into Saize's body like a torrential flood. Accompanied by a flash of dazzling light, the color timer on Saize's chest and the light in his eyes instantly flared to life, burning like two brilliant stars.
Having just reassembled his form and slowly opened his eyes, Saize had barely any time to adapt to his surroundings before Aijingliya pulled him tightly into her embrace. Meanwhile, Zett and Taiga stood quietly to one side, the lights in their eyes flickering as though freighted with boundless longing and care.
At that moment, Father of Ultra stepped forward to express his gratitude to the four exalted presences: "Thank you, my lords, for intervening to save him and allowing Saize to return in safety." His voice was filled with reverence.
Ultraman King smiled and replied, "Think nothing of it. I place high hopes on this child." His gaze fell upon Saize, revealing a hint of warmth and anticipation.
Saga chuckled and said, "We really have Earth, Sun, Mars, and the Moon to thank for this one! I was keeping watch over the Shadow Gate with Noa when those four suddenly burst in! Especially that Sun and Mars—I was just a fraction of a second too slow before the Sun launched a direct nuclear blast, and Mars went all-out with a Mars Annihilation Technique. Good thing Earth and Moon managed to stop them in time, or that universe would have been toast!" As he spoke, Saga patted his chest, still looking shaken by the close call.
Noa and Legend remained silent throughout, though they gave slight nods to indicate their agreement with Saga's account.
Shortly thereafter, the four Ultramen vanished.
Afterward, everyone resumed their studies at Ultra High School.
However, only a few days later, time flying like an arrow, Saize was summoned once again to the towering and magnificent grand platform of the Ultra Square. A large crowd had gathered, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.
"Now, let us jointly bestow this supreme and glorious Ultra Medal upon Saize!" The resonant voice of Father of Ultra echoed across the entire square, seeming to reach the very heavens. With an expression of resolute determination, he looked toward Zoffy, signaling him to carry out this sacred mission.
Zoffy gave a slight nod to acknowledge the Father of Ultra's intent. With steady and powerful strides, he walked toward Saize, gripping tightly in his hand the Ultra Medal that radiated a brilliant glow. Every step was imbued with strength and purpose, as though bearing the hopes of the entire universe.
When Zoffy stood before Saize, he gazed at the brave and fearless warrior with a look of profound respect and admiration. Then, he gently pinned the medal to Saize's chest, his movements as delicate as if handling a rare and peerless treasure.
Upon completing this solemn ceremony, Zoffy gave Saize a slight nod, his eyes brimming with affirmation and encouragement. In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them grew utterly still. Only the passionate heart beating within Saize thudded fiercely, as he came to understand an unprecedented level of glory and responsibility.
