Chapter 10: The Provocateur
After the battle of the Splinter, the impression of Ultraman Leo began to change among the people on Earth, and they slowly identified with Leo, and even Akiko Shinzhi, the chief of operations of Task Force 101, also participated in the global press conference, which people all over the world could see on TV.
"Today in the 21st century, our lives have changed a lot, since 2017, huge monsters have appeared on the earth, fortunately, there are also Ultramans in tokusatsu dramas to defend human beings during this period, from the very beginning of the universe heroes to Jack to Ace, Tairo, one Ultraman after another has protected us over the years, and this time a new Ultraman has appeared, that is Leo." The moderator of the press conference smiled and said to Akiko, "As the Chief of Operations of Task Force 101, I would like to ask you, what do you think of Ultraman Leo?" ”
"Ultraman Leo has a power that we can't understand, he has less energy, and he doesn't have the same advantages as other Ultramans," Akiko said with a smile, "but he has the fortitude to defeat strong enemies through training, so as to protect us humans." He's a very reliable Ultraman ......"
In Akiko's apartment, four people, Zhen, Akataro, Mika and Jerry, watched the live broadcast of the press conference on TV.
"Sister Mingzi is really photogenic on TV......" Zhen couldn't help but admire.
"Of course!" Akataro smiled, "Mika and Akiko were among the best school girls in college back then. ”
"Hmph......" Jerry sat on the couch with her arms crossed, "I'll watch it well if I'm on TV...... Zhen, you're right. ”
Zhen looked at the TV and didn't answer.
"Are you listening to me?" Jerry patted Zhen, and Zhenzhen came to his senses.
"That...... Brother Taro, Sister Mika......" Zhen said, "Why did Sister Akiko join the army......"
Mika lowered her head and didn't speak.
"Akiko......" Akataro was silent for a while, "She's also a woman with a story......"
The camera turned to Akiko's side, and as soon as the press conference ended, Akiko walked out of the live broadcast room, and suddenly a man stopped her.
"You're Leo's mentor, aren't you?"
As if reflexively, Akiko pulled out her pistol and aimed it at the man's heart.
"Who are you!"
"Don't get excited, sir," the man smiled wickedly, "I'm from Ketel. ”
"Kettle?" Akiko pondered, "That Keitel, who is called a weird alien?!" ”
"That's right!" The man continued, "I'm going to take over the Earth, so I'm going to challenge Ultraman Leo! ”
"What?!"
"We Kettel people advocate martial arts and like to fight with masters, Leo won me, I will get out of the earth immediately," he grimaced, "If Leo loses, I will occupy the earth and kill all the humans on the earth!" ”
"You're delusional!" Akiko kicked over, but at that moment, the man disappeared.
"Bastard!" Akiko scolded and immediately left the TV station to turn on the communicator.
"Headquarters, the Kettles have come to Earth!"
"HQ received!" Contingent headquarters correspondents were ordered to quickly raise the alarm and immediately dispatched a patrol detachment to investigate the area around the television station. The patrol investigated the area for three days and three nights, and found no clues, and the task force contacted military forces around the world to search for the Ketels, but to no avail, and a week passed, and the Ketels disappeared as if they had disappeared from the world. These days, Akiko hasn't had a full night's sleep, and Zhen often reminds her at home to pay attention to rest.
Akiko worked for a week in a row, and the state was very unstable, and Commander Sheffield asked her to rest at home, and she couldn't sleep in bed, thinking about the Kettel Star all the time. Finally, Akiko got up from the bed and walked to the mirror in the bathroom, she looked at her haggard self and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I'm almost Obasan...... Akiko said, and suddenly the self in the mirror began to blur, and finally became the man who called himself Ketel.
"What?!" Akiko was taken aback.
"Sir," the man laughed in the mirror, "you're so good, you've brought Leo to your house!" ”
"Bastard! What the hell do you want to do! Why are you pestering me! Akiko said angrily.
"It's clear that you've been investigating me all along." The man spread his hands, "I can't counter-reconnoitre!" ”
"Get out of here! What kind of man is hiding and hiding! Akiko controlled the anger in her heart, "Where the hell are you?" ”
The man smiled and did not answer, and gradually disappeared from the mirror.
"Give me back!!" Akiko punches the mirror, and the mirror is shattered instantly, and the shards pierce Akiko's hand. Zhen heard the noise and quickly rushed into the bathroom.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Zhen looked at Akiko's pierced hand, "Hurry up and bandage it!" Zhen pulled Akiko to the living room, took out the alcohol gauze and pliers from the first aid kit, and went to treat Akiko's wounds.
"Sister...... What the hell is wrong with you? Zhen looked at her sadly, "Is it because of the Kettels?" ”
"It's okay......" Akiko smiled faintly and looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking. And so it went for another three days.
In Task Force 101 Akiko's office, Mika is alone looking at a map of Tokyo City, and Zhen suddenly enters the office.
"Sister Meijia......" panted, "Have you seen Sister Mingzi?" She hasn't been back to the apartment until now. ”
"...... Vibration," Mika pointed to the map of Tokyo, "You look at the map, there are pencil markings, some circles, and here, there are obvious traces of eraser alterations, and she has also found an important location," she pointed to a place marked with a red pen, "I think she must be guessing the hiding place of the Ketels." ”
"In other words, the position marked by the red pen is ......"
"It's the hiding place of the cosmic man!"
"Then Sister Mingzi didn't go to find the cosmic people?!" Zhen glanced at the location marked by the red pen, "Okay...... I'm over too! ”
"Shake! You wait first......"
"Bang dang!" Before Meijia could finish speaking, Zhen had already rushed out of the office, leaving Meijia alone.
"It's really ......" Mika sighed, "These two people are really not worry-free......"
Location: A hotel in Tokyo
Akiko drove a jeep in civilian clothes to a large hotel, and she got out of the car and walked into the hotel lobby.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" The front desk clerk asked Akiko.
"I'm looking for room 1010."
"Room 1010 has guests in room now."
"Is that guest still there?"
"He didn't leave the hotel today."
"Okay, thank you......" Akiko quickly took the elevator to the 10th floor, and then found room 1010, the door of the room was just hidden and not closed.
"Cut ......," Akiko pulled her pistol out of her trench coat, "it's time to finish." ”
"Bang dang!" Akiko kicked in the door and pointed her pistol at the front room, which was messy and there was no one.
"What's going on......" Akiko looked around, "Why is no one ......"
Suddenly, a big hand grabbed Akiko's neck from behind, and a suppressed feeling of suffocation instantly surged into Akiko's heart, she wanted to pull out a pistol, but the other party's strength was too great, and she threw her body up, and the pistol didn't fall off the ground.
Akiko's vision gradually blurred, and the strength of the struggle became smaller and smaller. The man who sneaked up laughed arrogantly. At this moment, a young man in camouflage uniform rushed in and kicked the man in the head. The man was forced to let go of Akiko, smashed the window and fell from the 10th floor, showing his true adventure at the moment when he was about to land. He had an ugly pockmarked face and large blue eyes, and his long white hair was disheveled. That's right, that's what the Kettles look like, Zhen ran to the window, slipped down the drain from the tenth floor to the ground, and confronted the Ketels.
Zhen hit a hook and was blocked by the cosmic man, and hit a straight punch with a backhand to knock Zhen over. The Keitel star man took advantage of the victory and chased after him, kicking Zhen's body with his foot, Zhen stood up in pain and knocked him back with a punch, Zhen also wanted to make up for it, the cosmic man jumped behind him with a somersault, Zhen didn't hesitate to quickly turn around and kick out the whip leg again, but was dodged by a beautiful front somersault. The Kettel elbow strikes Zhen in the back, causing Zhen to fall, and then he rides on Zhen and locks his throat with his arm.
Zhen's whole face was red due to the lack of oxygen, and at the critical moment, a man shot the Keitel in the back, and due to the gunshot wound, the spaceman let go, and a somersault disappeared into the night.
"Ahem...... Zhen coughed a few times, looked back, and found Akiko clutching his chest and holding a pistol leaning against the jeep.
"Sister...... Zhen walked up to Akiko, "What are you doing...... Everybody's worried about you......"
"Sorry...... This time it's me who is too willful......" Akiko lowered her head.
"It's okay sister...... Calm down......" Zhen smiled, "Let's go!" How about I treat you to a drink today? ”
"You're inviting me to drink?"
"What? Isn't it possible? Zhen wiped the dust off his cheeks, "I'll take care of Kettle's matter!" All the chief has to do is get some rest. ”
"Cut...... I'm not worried about your performance just now......"
"Not next time!" Zhen clenched his fists, and the lion's pupil in his hand flashed, "I'll be able to deal with him next time!" ”
The Cartel has super physical skills, especially his front flips, which are fast and jump high. He is a very good martial artist, and he also has a spear as a weapon, which makes him even more invincible, but Zhen also discovered his weakness, which is that he can easily fall down by holding him when he lands on a front flip. Next, Zhen began to train on predicting the enemy's landing point.
"Zhen is training again......" Akiko sighed as she looked at the empty apartment. Then her communicator rang and she learned of the appearance of a gigantic Keitel on the outskirts of Tokyo. Akiko quickly left the apartment and came to the front line herself.
Task Force 101's planes and artillery frantically attacked the Kettels, who knew that the Kettles took out a huge spear from behind, and he picked up the spear to miss the artillery attack.
"Damn......" Akiko scolded, "why is he so powerful......"
The Kettles picked up their spears and shot down the 101 fighter plane, stomping on the soldiers on the ground with their feet, and as the spacemen counterattacked, Task Force 101 retreated. Now that the fighting is very close to the city of Tokyo, if you go any further, the city of Tokyo will be in danger.
At this critical juncture, the familiar red giant fell from the sky like a flame and fell in front of the Ketel starman, the Ketel star immediately raised his spear and rushed towards Leo, according to his body is a sharp stab, Leo quickly turned sideways, Kettel took advantage of the situation to pick up the stick, was barely dodged by Leo, the cosmic man saw the flaw, a horizontal kick kicked Leo in the abdomen, Leo lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground.
"Hahaha...... "Keitel shook his spear defiantly, "Come on, Leo!" That's all you have to do! ”
"This bastard!" Leo stood up and held his abdomen, "This is much better than the Kettel star in TV!" Gotta find a way to break his spear. ”
In TV, Leo used nunchucks against the Ketels, but unfortunately he didn't practice nunchucks in the army, so he had to change his strategy.
The Kettel took the spear backwards, emitted a light bullet from the tail of the spear, and shot it towards Leo, Leo dodged the attack with a continuous back flip, Keitel jumped directly above Leo with a front flip, raised the spear and slashed at Leo's head, Leo grabbed the tip of the spear with the palms of both hands like a reflex.
"What?! Empty-handed! Kettel was taken aback.
"Babble!" Leo shook his body and snatched the spear from him, kicking Keitel over. Leo snapped his spear and threw it into the distance.
"I'm!!" Seeing that his beloved weapon was destroyed, the Kettel Star Man was furious, rushed to Leo, and threw three punches at his face, and the last heavy swing punch knocked Leo down, and Leo was picked up by him again before he could get up, at this time Leo controlled the arms of the Space Man with his backhand, and hit three attacks with his legs, followed by a classic backward fall to throw him out, but the Kettel Star Man used his super physical skills to unload the power of the backward fall by rolling. As soon as he gained his footing, he jumped into the air again, and Leo seized the moment he landed, grabbing his legs and throwing the spaceman to the ground. Keitel shook his head and stood up, and continued to scuffle with Leo, but through the fight, Leo found that the strength of the cosmic man became much smaller, and it was obvious that this Kettel star man was no longer able to do it, and finally Leo dived down and gave Kettel a heavy back fall, causing him to fall on his head on the ground. This time he was completely stunned, and he slowed down on the ground for a long time before getting up.
"Knock knock knock...... "The colored timer on Leo's chest sounded.
"It's time to deal with him!" Akiko shouted from the sidelines, "Let this guy see your nirvana!" ”
Leo jumped 1,000 meters into the air, and after a beautiful somersault, he smashed into the spaceman in a flying kick position, and his feet burst into flames.
"What bells and whistles!" Kettel also jumps into the air and kicks Leo in a flying kick position.
"Poof!" Leo's flying kick breaks the Ketel's leg, and then the whole person passes through his body.
"Boom!" Keitel's body exploded in the air. Leo decelerates and unloads smoothly to the ground. Looking at Akiko in the distance, he made a victorious V-shaped hand, and then Leo's body turned into light particles and gradually disappeared.
"Zhen......" Akiko smiled with relief, "You're really getting more and more reliable......"
"Sister!!
The familiar voice in front of me came, and it turned out to be Zhen in camouflage uniform, running from the front. After the fierce battle just now, his face was covered in ash.
"Like a cat......" Akiko laughed, "but thank you, thank you for saving us once again......"
