In the aftermath of one of the strangest Kaiju attacks in recent memory, Shu Ishido of the GDF has plenty to say. Read on to learn more!
Date: xx/xx
Earth being on the brink of explosion because of the Onyx.
The arduous battle against Hellnarak, who came from another dimension.
After these continuous major incidents, it seems that things have calmed down and SKIP’s Hoshimoto City Branch has seen quite a few peaceful days.
It was probably the first time we had such a quiet day since I have been deployed here.
The kaiju hotline hasn’t even rang once.
But right then, we received a report of a kaiju sighting.
The kaiju we saw on YouPi You-bot’s transmission of Mt. Ratsuno was Gomess, the ancient kaiju.
It was extremely large in size, but the GDF had a stock of Citronella Acid, which had been previously used to defeat this species.
Citronella Acid is a strong acid expelled by Gomess’ natural enemy, Litra, the primitive monstrous bird. As we know it to be lethal against Gomess, the GDF created a similar substance through chemosynthesis.
This meant that, while Gomess was a threat, with SKIP’s help we should be able to resolve it relatively quickly. Or so we thought.
But we may have been a bit too optimistic to think it would be so easy.
Gomess acted in a completely unexpected way, deciding to head up the mountain, instead of down where its prey is. It arrived at the top of the mountain the very next morning.
And not only that, but once the GDF’s tanks attacked it using the Citronella Acid, it had no effect whatsoever, and to our surprise Gomess took off to the skies…
I will not bother to write down our disarray regarding the whole situation.
But to sum it up: Gomess was not actually Gomess (as it had the same characteristics, in order to differentiate them, we have added the abbreviation “(SP)” to its name). It was a creature that looked exactly like Gomess, but able to fly and shortly arrived at Okami Town. Its true form was called “Supekkio”.
Supekkio is a space life form that was first observed 5 years ago, when retrieving a broken artificial satellite.
It actually has the form of a small crystal and several of them can join together to create a perfect mimicry of another being. It’s able to fly due to its anti-gravitational beam and feeds off of silica (the main component of glass) and silicate.
The move to Okami Town was likely aimed at targeting the large glass factory located there.
The one who stopped Supekkio this time was Ultraman Arc again.
He used the Arc Eye Sword to protect himself against the powerful lasers closing in on it and then finished off the battle with a strong slash.
After the explosion, Supekkio revealed its true form, shifting into a huge crystalized mountain.
There was a concern about Supekkio coming down to Earth ever since it was first seen.
I wonder if it was a coincidence it ended up exactly in Hoshimoto City, or if there was another reason for it.
Up until recently, Onyx was buried within the depths of Hoshimoto City’s soil.
Although it should have already disappeared, there’s still a chance there’s an undetected energy remaining.
What if it was what attracted Supekkio from space, after all?
What if this incident was a presage of yet another calamity?
This might be an unfounded concern.
But even so, considering and exhausting all possibilities is part of my job as a member of the GDF.
Ultraman Arc is a great hero, but we can’t completely rely on him. We each have to figure out what it is we can do to help and join forces. What each of us can do might be different, but our actions are what will lead us towards a peaceful future.
This is what I believe.
PS:
I planned on finishing this entry nicely, but I just realized something.
My last words were exactly what the Chief’s daughter had said.
Her name is Tsugumi Ban. She chose to be a reporter for the occupational experience and ended up being present during Supekkio’s invasion.
The wonderful words she spoke towards the camera stuck to me.
The Chief must have been overwhelmed by emotion. It’s not hard to catch him watching that video over and over again during his break.
Thanks to that, her message has also affected me, who was right beside him.
When I think about it, I have not contacted my father in a long time.
Though communication is hard because he works in Canada as a teacher, it’s still a bit sad.
I think I might try video-calling him soon. And then send him a little something.
The Dorayakis Yuma recommended from the shopping district might be a good option.
And some of my preferred coffee beans, of course.
