The beautiful blue planet shone so brightly in the universe. After the crisis on Planet Ultra, Earth's only defense in space was the MAC Tokyo Branch's space station. The radar system was struggling to be rebuilt; although everything needed starting from scratch, human optimism lay in this: hardship had passed, a beautiful future was coming. To make the best of it, the MAC team held a birthday party for Songjing Qingzi on her special day.
Moroboshi Dan gave her a book, "Women's Martial Arts." Tōshō Gen gave her a potted plant recommended by his girlfriend, Momoko. Shirakawa Junko gave her a teddy bear, and Zuoteng Dasuke gave her a model figure of Mackey.
Hikari's gift for Qingzi was a lipstick of the same name as MAC on Earth. Because his salary was used to pay off debts to humanity, he used Moroboshi Dan's card. Qingzi was very happy. She opened the lipstick and applied the bright color to her jelly-like lips, then pursed them. Smiling, she looked at her teammates and asked, "Does it look good?"
Bai Chuanjunzi immediately praised her, "It looks great! Qingzi is as radiant as Princess Moon today! Happy birthday, Qingzi!" "What a beauty, Qingzi! Happy birthday!" Zuoteng Dasuke gave a thumbs-up. Hikari also raised both thumbs, waving them up and down, indicating how amazing his sister was today, "Happy birthday, Sister Qingzi!" Qingzi giggled, covering her mouth, and distributed the cake to her teammates, "Thank you all for your blessings!"
People tend to have an illusion that when they reach the lowest point of their luck, once they get through it, they feel life can't get any worse, and their fortunes can't be more dismal. After all, they've experienced the crisis of Earth's destruction; what could be more despairing than that?
Silvergon brought about a low point after the low point, a despair after the despair. An invasive creature from Black Star extended its claws to Earth precisely when Earth's defense forces were at their weakest.
By the time the radar sounded, it was too late. The paralyzed radar system could only scan a short range. Warning lights flashed urgently, and sparks erupted in the space station without warning. A strong corrosive acid ate into the space station from the outside.
What's happening? Hikari turned around. In the blackness of space, dark red tentacles pressed against the viewport. The hard viewport glass softened like paper.
"The viewport is breaking! Quickly get to the inner compartment!" Hikari grabbed his teammates and ran. If humans were sucked into space, they would instantly freeze into ice sculptures. What is this monstrous thing?
"Captain, the base is being surrounded by a strange creature!" Zuoteng Dasuke shouted!
No one could see, no one could hear. The lighting system had failed. All that could be heard were the frantic sirens of machinery, sparks, and smoke from the corrosive acid filling the space station. Where were his teammates? Where was Moroboshi Dan? Where was Tōshō Gen? The monster's tentacles were searching for anything alive to pull out of the space station. His senses were useless. Hikari could only protect Songjing Qingzi and Kajitian Yiping, who were closest to him, and race to the takeoff point of Mackey. He sent the two teammates onto the ship, "Hurry and escape!"
The massive MAC space station, beneath Silvergon, was like a pitiful little dessert, tightly embraced by the jellyfish-like Silvergon, being slowly dissolved by the strong acid secreted from its tentacles.
"Hikari! Where are you going! Let's go together!" Kajitian Yiping scrambled into Mackey I and started it up. Seeing that Tōkō Shū had no intention of getting on board, he urged, "Get up here, you rascal!" "Hikari, hurry up and get on!" Songjing Qingzi reached for her teammate's hand but saw the determined look in the young man's eyes.
Tōkō Shū slowly pulled Songjing Qingzi's hand away and embraced the older woman as she got into Mackey I. "Ippei, Qingzi, I'll see you on Earth! I'm going to find the Captain. I'll find you in Mackey II!" "Hurry, Ippei!" Tōkō Shū waved. Kajitian Yiping started Mackey I, watching Tōkō Shū turn and run away, gritting his teeth, "You little brat, if I don't see you on Earth... then I'll..."
Mackey I slowly started, its high-powered engines roaring down the takeoff ramp, but the launch port was covered in Silvergon's tentacles!
Meanwhile, Hikari was rapidly moving through the space station corridors, filled with blaring alarms. "Captain! Brother Tōshō! Deputy Captain Zuoteng!" The sturdy steel frame was no longer solid under the acid's effect. It suddenly collapsed, igniting a shower of electric sparks. The space station had already been corroded with a large hole, and under the violent pressure difference, it began to disintegrate into flying debris.
"This won't do!" Hikari was frantic. He leaped forward, and the power of Stellar Power enveloped him.
The silver Taijie appeared in space. He leaped above the MAC base, attempting to embrace the strange, large jellyfish. The strong acid intensely burned Taijie's arm.
"Damn it, that hurts!" The eagle claw ring on his left arm glowed slightly, transforming into two blades that Taijie wielded. Taijie wanted to cut off the tentacles beneath Silvergon, so that the decomposition of the MAC space station wouldn't be so rapid, giving those inside a glimmer of hope.
"Leo! Seven! Where are you!" Silvergon, having had two tentacles severed, painfully released the space station it held in its embrace. It was already badly corroded.
Taijie embraced the space station, trying to sense any living beings inside, but Silvergon's acid seemed to isolate his senses, rendering them useless. Frustrated, Taijie wanted to shake the space station.
"Taijie!" Tōshō Gen's voice came from the space station. "Brother Tōshō!" "Zuoteng is unconscious, Bai Chuanjunzi and the Captain are missing. The most important thing now is that I can't leave Zuoteng behind. I need to take him to Mackey III, otherwise, if he's exposed to space, he'll die!" Taijie nodded, "I understand. You take him, I'll protect the space station!"
Silvergon seemed to understand the Ultra warriors' plan. Its body spun, emitting eerie electronic waves of mockery. The giant jellyfish monster stretched out its body, revealing its feeding maw beneath to the ignorant Ultra warriors.
Mackey I, corroded by strong acid, was there!
Taijie's mind was suddenly consumed by rage. He recalled the confidence he had when he sent his teammates to Mackey I. *Hurry and escape!* he had said. *See you on Earth!* he had said. Why, why was he so arrogant!
Taijie, holding the space station, was blinded by fury. The active Stellar Power surrounded him, adding to the already precarious state of the space station.
"Taijie! What are you doing! Control yourself!" Silvergon spun and flew towards Earth. It was merely the vanguard of the invasion force; its commander had long been waiting on Earth to destroy the last fragile defense line in space. Now that its mission was complete, it was moving on to the next task.
Taijie watched Mackey III fly out of the space station. He gently placed down the damaged space station, which was quickly crushed into ruins by atmospheric pressure and disintegrated into countless fragments. Something extremely tiny grazed Taijie's rabbit-ear head fin and flew away. Taijie didn't notice; he only wanted revenge. Only Tōshō Gen, in Mackey III, saw the object slowly drifting towards them.
A lipstick.
