Episode 2 Firth's Memories
On the Ultra Arena, the newcomers looked around, waiting for the arrival of the instructor.
"Why hasn't the instructor come yet?" After waiting for a while, the newcomers began to get a little impatient.
Firth stayed quietly in the corner, took out a red stone, and stared at the number "1" engraved on it, he suddenly remembered many old memories.
He was an orphan who had never known who his parents were since he was born, and he had only heard that it was Smith, the old director of the Ott Orphanage, who had picked him up from somewhere.
He was still in his infancy, crying, clutching a red glowing stone with the Arabic numeral "1" carved into it, which was the stone he was now holding in his hand, and Smith took him back to the orphanage, which he named Firth.
Firth has been very different from other Ultramans since he was a child.
He has oval, full eyes with a red glow in them, and a head similar to that of the original.
In terms of skin color, Ultraman's skin color is basically between one or two of the three colors of red, blue, and white, and no more than three, but Firth has a rare red, white, blue, and black skin color.
His chest and arms are red and white, his V-shaped armor and the sides of his waist and back are black, and his thighs are red and blue, which looks very bright.
In Ultraman's world, black often represents evil.
There are also colored timers on the chest, most of Ultraman's timers are oval-shaped, but Firth's timer is like a large twisted "V" shape, perfectly embedded in the inside of the V-shaped black armor.
With his tragic background and unusual appearance, he was isolated by the children around him since he was a child, and was often ridiculed and bullied by other children.
As a child, once he walked among a group of children who were playing and wanted to play with them.
"Can I play with you?" Firth innocently pleaded.
"Look at his appearance, his eyes are red, his whole body is black, he doesn't look like an Ultraman at all, I heard that he doesn't even have parents, I don't know where he picked up the monster!" Several children gathered around and whispered a discussion.
"You monster who doesn't even have parents, we don't want to play with you! Hurry up and get the hell out of here! One of the children said politely.
The children threw stones at him, and the stones fell on him, and it hurt in his heart, and he couldn't understand why everyone hated him so much.
Back at the orphanage, Firth did not greet Smith as usual, but walked past Smith silently, expressionless, and cried after closing the door.
Smith heard Firth crying outside the door, and did not knock on the door until it was time for supper when Firth came out of the room, but remained silent.
After dinner, Firth turned and went to his room.
"Wait a minute, Firth!"
Smith stopped Firth, and Firth stopped.
"Come with me for a walk outside! There are some things I want to say to you, you shouldn't say no, right? ”
In the face of Smith's sincere request, Firth did not refuse, not to mention that he has always been like a father to Firth, and he is the only person in this world who cares about and loves him.
Nodding, he followed Smith and headed outside.
Along the way, Firth remained silent, and Smith did not speak.
Walking onto a tall grassy slope, Smith stopped.
"Let's rest here for a while."
The night sky of the Land of Light still glows green like day.
Lying on the grassy slope and looking at the sky, you can see the headquarters of the Space Guard floating in the air like emeralds in the distance.
"Firth, do you know what that place is?" Smith asked, pointing to the Cosmic Guard headquarters in the distant sky.
"I don't know." Firth shook his head.
Every day, he could see this floating building as soon as he looked up, and he thought that it was just a castle in the sky built by the ordinary people of the Land of Light, and he didn't pay much attention to its existence.
However, being asked by Smith aroused Firth's curiosity.
"What the hell is that?" Firth finally couldn't help but ask.
"That's where the Ultra warriors who protect our Land of Light live, and they all belong to an organization called the Cosmic Guard."
"Cosmic Guard? What is that? Firth looked at Smith quizzically.
"It is the best armed force of our country of light, and there are the best ultra warriors in our country of light, and it is precisely because of their protection that we can live in such a peaceful and beautiful environment." Smith patiently explained.
"Peace and beauty?" Thinking of the strange, disgusted eyes of the people around him, Firth was a little disappointed.
From being born without the love of his parents, to being treated as a monster everywhere, the world gives Firth the impression of ruthlessness and indifference.
If it weren't for Dean Smith's care and care for him, which made him feel the only trace of warmth to survive, I'm afraid he would have no idea of living a long time ago.
"In such a world, what is worth protecting!" Firth sat up abruptly and grumbled with a hint of anger.
Smith also quickly sat up, looked at the lost and sad Firth, hugged Firth into his arms, gently stroked Firth's head with his hand, and then comforted: "Good boy, why do you say that?" If you encounter something troublesome again, talk to grandpa! ”
"Everybody says I'm a monster who doesn't even have parents, everybody doesn't play with me, somebody still stoned me, I've never hurt anyone, why do they do this to me? What an abominable world it is! Leaning into Smith's arms, Firth said angrily and desperately.
"No, Firth, you're not a monster! You, like everyone else, are residents of this planet, no matter what others say, grandpa will always support and believe in you, you don't need to make yourself unhappy because of a few malicious words from others, maybe they just want to eliminate this fear by staying away from you because they are afraid of your appearance, maybe they don't mean to hurt you, it's just out of a kind of self-preservation, just like humans. Smith comforted and instructed.
"Like a human?" Firth abruptly left Smith's arms and looked at Smith suspiciously.
"Yes, remember what I just told you about the Cosmic Guard? Every once in a while they send an Ultra warrior to Earth to defend it. But when humans see Ultraman who is unusually tall, they will be afraid at first, afraid that Ultraman is the same as those monsters, he is an aggressor, out of self-protection, they may become hostile to Ultraman, and even attack Ultraman, but slowly, after they understand that Ultraman is here to protect them, this hostility gradually disappears, and after realizing their mistakes, they will correct them, and they can friendly Ultraman as their partner, and even respect Ultraman as a hero who protects the world, Firth, You have to think with your heart, to understand, not just to stay on the surface of things. Smith said earnestly.
"Thinking with your heart?" Firth was even more puzzled.
"That's right, think more from the perspective of others and understand the minds of others, only then can you see the beautiful side of the world!" Smith said with some sighs.
"Grandpa Smith, I still don't quite understand what you mean!" Firth shook his head in confusion.
"Yes, you're still young, but you'll understand one day." Smith looked up at the sky and muttered.
After some guidance from Smith, Firth's mood calmed down a lot.
That's right, why make yourself unhappy because of a few words from others?
Smith mentioned Earth, which made Firth a little confused.
Why did Ultra Warriors go to great lengths to protect that planet?
Firth couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Smith, what kind of planet is the earth you are talking about?" ”
"It is a very beautiful blue planet, on this planet there are human beings with the same body as the inhabitants of the Land of Light, they have lived on the earth for generations, there are blue seas and continents with different scenery, there are mountains, plains, forests, cities and lakes and other natural landscapes on the continent, and there are four seasons of change, spring, summer, autumn and winter each season has a different climate and landscape, it is the most beautiful planet I have ever seen!"
Smith used to be an ordinary soldier of the Space Guard when he was young, and he flew over the earth by chance during a mission, and couldn't help but be attracted by the beauty of the earth, so he flew over the earth, and saw a lot of beautiful scenery along the way, and even some didn't want to leave.
Thinking about it at this moment, Smith couldn't help but indulge in the memories of that time.
"Is the earth really that beautiful? I really want to go to Earth! Hearing Smith's description of the earth so beautiful, Firth also began to yearn for the earth.
What kind of planet is that?
Smith sensed that it seemed as if Firth had taken an interest in Earth.
"You want to go to Earth?" Smith asked Firth Dao.
"Yes!" Firth nodded, his eyes full of anticipation and yearning, "Is there any way to go to Earth?" ”
From Firth's eyes, Smith could see that he really wanted to go to Earth.
But in this case, he had to ......
But Smith thought about it again, if he could give Firth a hope to try to live, what would be any harm, not to mention that it would be a very sacred and honorable thing to go there and work.
Creating a dream for him and making him work towards it was perhaps the only precious thing Smith could leave to Firth.
"What if I want you to start learning combat skills tomorrow?" Smith thought for a moment, then continued.
