RBCT Chapter 91 The Traitor on the Moon – The Fugitive from the Moon
Chapter 91 The Traitor on the Moon – The Fugitive from the Moon
(Three chapters were updated today, and the extra chapter is to thank the Great God Coffin Emperor for his certification.)
As the Ultraman Tiga series nears its end, each new episode captivates the hearts of countless viewers.
The ominous title of tonight's trailer—"The Escapee from the Moon"—and the new character on the cover with sharp eyes and a scarred face, gave everyone a sense of impending storm.
"Captain Gale? A new character? What a handsome bro!"
"Is this setting the stage for the final battle? Is Team GUTS about to make a big move?"
"Judging from the preview, it seems like there's a mole in this episode? Is the GUTS team going to split up?"
At exactly 8 p.m., the familiar opening theme song started playing on time.
In Jinghai City, viewers held their breath in front of countless screens.
The scene slowly unfolds, accompanied by a deep narration:
"The universe, this is where humanity on Earth expands its dreams and hopes. On the moon, a hundred elite troops led by Captain Gale have established the TPC lunar surface base—Carlo."
In the scene, the lunar surface is desolate and silent, with the massive Carlo base standing beside a crater, creating a sci-fi feel.
However, the next second, the alarm shattered the silence.
"Captain! Okabe! Ah—!"
Screams came through the communication channel.
The camera shook violently as the flames of an explosion engulfed the interior of the base.
A man in uniform, Captain Gale, is rushing towards the hangar, killing many crew members who are being controlled by aliens along the way.
Have you seen Vice Captain An Yong?
Hayate grabbed one of the surviving team members, Okabe, and asked loudly.
"He just passed by..."
"Is he going back to Earth?"
Hayate's eyes narrowed. "Leave this to me! Okabe, I'm counting on you!"
However, in outer space, a fighter jet that had taken off was shot down by several lasers.
The opening sequence is extremely fast-paced; before the audience can even react, Carlo's base has already been engulfed in flames.
The entire scene was filmed using a combination of live-action and CG techniques.
This is also the first time Gu Nan has led his team to film an alien base.
To make the visual effects even more stunning, the exterior scene of blowing up the lunar base used a rather ingenious design.
That is, using an inverted camera position combined with slow motion shooting.
During actual filming, the props team first builds a scaled-down base model, with the outer layer covered with a specially made lightweight material to simulate metal bulkheads, and miniature explosive devices and traction lines pre-embedded inside.
When filming began, the entire model was lifted into the air by a robotic arm and rotated 180 degrees, which is the key to the "upside-down" effect.
The camera makes the debris that should have fallen downwards appear to float upwards.
The moment the explosive device was activated, countless pre-fabricated fragments were scattered by the airflow, while hidden thin cables pulled the larger hull debris slowly "upward".
The slow-motion shots further amplified this sense of vacuum.
The fragments are no longer a chaotic trajectory of rapid fall, but drift upwards at a uniform speed. Fine dust spreads like a nebula, while larger components flip away, completely circumventing the visual logic of "falling acceleration" under Earth's gravity.
By removing the traction lines and adding a black starry background in post-production, the texture of an explosive object in a vacuum losing gravity and spreading uniformly in all directions can be accurately simulated.
This makes the destruction of the lunar base both logically sound and full of the alienation and awe of outer space.
Wow, is the opening scene this amazing?!
Wow, Light Chaser Animation really has deep pockets! They start blowing up models as soon as they have money, huh?
[The opening scene has a cinematic quality; I really hope Light Chaser Animation Studios will actually release a movie series!]
……
Immediately after a spectacular aerial battle, the scene shifts to TPC Earth headquarters.
"Headquarters! Please respond to headquarters!"
Please show your ID.
"9528. This is An Yong, the deputy captain of the Carlo Base."
An Yong's voice trembled slightly, as if he had experienced a great terror.
"Captain Gale... destroyed the entire Carlo base!"
"Repeat it!"
"Captain Gale destroyed the entire Carlo Base! Only Vice-Captain Kishiwagi survived from Carlo Base..."
However, at this moment, the camera angle shifted to the side of "Kishi Yong".
An Yong, who has the exact same face as him!
An Yong, wrapped in white silk fabric resembling spider silk, fell into a coma.
The live chat exploded instantly.
[Holy crap? This kid's the mole!]
[This guy, An Yong, has framed someone!]
[Exactly! Captain Gale looks so righteous, with those thick eyebrows and big eyes, he can't be a bad guy!]
[So, your values are dictated by your looks?]
As the plot unfolds, the atmosphere in the TPC executive meeting room becomes extremely tense.
Director Sawai frowned as he looked at Kishi, who had returned to Earth to answer questions.
"Was there anything unusual about Captain Hayate before this happened?"
"I have no idea……"
Ji Gang's expression was firm, and he defended his old comrade-in-arms without hesitation.
"Jifeng is a tough guy; no matter what happens, he will never show any weakness."
"The reason I, as the commander, value him so highly is precisely because of this."
Director Sawai slowly spoke up, "His intelligence and physical strength are outstanding, and his mental fortitude is second to none in TPC. Apart from Hayate, I can't think of anyone else who could be the captain of the Carlo base."
"but……"
A staff officer nearby then changed the subject, "Perhaps it is precisely because of these strengths that he is more prone to accidents as a commander. Because he only trusts himself, he is a lonely man."
"I think this is a misunderstanding!"
Megumi argued forcefully, raising her voice slightly, "Whirlwind's personality is indeed very strong, but he devoted all his energy to making the lunar base the most fortified Earth defense station!"
"But I saw it with my own eyes!"
Surrounded by them, Kishi continued his performance, "The Carlo Base was destroyed by Captain Hayate himself!"
"Impossible! I don't believe he would do such a thing! I don't want to believe it!"
Megumi Kijima suddenly stood up. "Director, I think there's definitely something wrong with this! Please order the GUTS team to search for Hayate!"
However, the reaction from higher-ups was unexpectedly cold.
Only Sawai said, "Captain, we will let you know about this matter again."
……
At this moment, within the Victory team, Ye Rui sent a report.
"Right now, the spaceship piloted by Hayate is not using any propulsion and is drifting in space."
Suddenly, Ji Gang, holding a folding fan, entered.
"From now on, the police department will be responsible for the investigation, and your Victory Team is strictly prohibited from interfering!"
"Please tell me your reason!" asked Megumi, puzzled.
"You and Hayate were in the same class at the training center, right?" Yoshioka's eyes held a hint of doubt.
"Yes, so what?"
Your personal relationship with him will influence your judgment.
At this point, a flashback by Megumi Kijima is inserted.
That was a scene from when she trained with Gale.
"Megumi, before defeating the enemy of the sword, you must first defeat the enemy of your heart..."
"Now, you are fighting two enemies at the same time!"
The words Gale spoke still echoed in my ears...
Megumi Kijima firmly believes that Hayate is not the kind of person who would betray humanity!
In this dialogue scene, Gu Nan deliberately amplified the tension of the lines. The sense of frustration of "a former comrade-in-arms being framed, yet being powerless to do anything about it" infuriated the audience.
This is way too bureaucratic!
Why can't the Victory Team get involved? What can those police officers do besides feeding the officers kills?
[Captain Megumi is having a tough time; she's caught in the middle.]
[Why is Commander Yoshioka acting so strangely today? He's usually strict, but he's also reasonable.]
……
In theory, the GUTS team cannot participate in the investigation of Hayate.
At this moment, An Yong was lying in his room, immersed in the beautiful music.
As things stand, his conspiracy is progressing step by step. The fact that the Victory Team cannot intervene in this matter also means that his plan to control TPC is becoming easier to achieve.
the other side.
After much thought, Jujian Hui still felt that she couldn't let this matter go unpunished; she couldn't bear to see her former senior being framed!
So she broke the rules and prepared to go alone to find the truth...
At this moment, the Victory Team also came out to chase after them.
"That's against the rules..."
"We don't believe in the rules, we believe in you, Captain! That's why we've worked so hard to get to where we are today!"
"Since the captain believes in Hayate, we're willing to believe in him too!"
Because it was the intermediary Huicai who brought everyone together, they always believed in the captain, not TPC.
This also tells the audience why the winning team is so strong!
Because what connects them is never the TPC's orders, but the trust and bond between team members!
Ah, this is the bond between teammates!
To be honest, the work environment at GUTS is really great; the relationships between people are like family.
……
Meanwhile, Daigo and Rena immediately piloted the Victory Swallow to find Captain Hayate.
Meanwhile, Munakata and Shinjo were responsible for secretly monitoring Vice Captain Kishi, who had returned from the moon.
Little did they know that this vice-captain was actually more than one person...
At the same time, another Kishi burst into Director Sawai's office.
Sawai realized that the person in front of her wasn't the real Kishi Isamu, but it was too late...
Therefore, Sawai was also trapped in the twin monsters' cocoon.
As for Commander Yoshitaka and Staff Officer Nanbara, they had already been replaced by the twin monster tanuki...
Commander Yoshioka stormed into the command room with a squad of police officers, pointing his finger at Megumi and yelling, "Megumi! You've disappointed me greatly! The GUTS team ignored the rules and actually went out to search for Hayate's spaceship! Is finding Captain Hayate the only way to uncover the truth about the Carlo Base incident? Your arbitrary decision will throw our organization into chaos!"
"Disrupting organizational order because of personal relationships disqualifies you from being the captain of the Victory Team!"
Yoshioka pulled a document from his pocket and slammed it onto the table.
"You're not qualified to be the captain of the GUTS team, Kei Iruma. From now on, you're demoted to a team member!"
Before anyone could react, Sawai announced:
"The successor has been chosen; Kishi Isamu will be the new captain of the Victory Team!"
"Why?!"
Vice-Captain Munakata was the first to step forward. His usually composed demeanor was now filled with rage. "The truth behind the Carlo incident hasn't been uncovered yet. What makes Kishi Isamu qualified to be our new captain?"
"We've made it this far only because of Captain Megumi's leadership!" Horii protested loudly.
"Yeah, that's outrageous!" Shinjo clenched his fist.
Yoshioka sneered, "So, if the higher-ups don't listen, the subordinates are just as unreasonable? Your GUTS team belongs to the TPC organization!"
"The truth behind the Carlo incident hasn't been uncovered yet, so what makes An Yong qualified to be our new captain?!"
"So you're going to destroy the GUTS team?!" Munakata suddenly stepped forward and blocked Kijima Megumi's path.
At this moment, Gu Nan's use of camera language was excellent.
Zong Fang's broad back was like a wall, protecting the captain behind him.
He stared at Yoshioka and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"You're wrong. We're not just robots that obey orders!"
This line struck the audience like a heavy hammer blow.
The barrage of comments exploded instantly, with dense text obscuring the screen.
[Vice Captain Munakata!!! He's so cool!]
[Everyone rebels! That's what you call team spirit!]
[This is the true GUTS team! No matter who their superiors are, we only recognize Megumi Kijima!]
[These high-ranking officials are definitely suspicious, but are there really that many aliens? How can they control so many people?]
……
The Victory Team got into an argument with their superior officer.
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Megumi Kijima remained unusually calm.
She keenly sensed that something was wrong.
While they were arguing, the observant Kijima noticed some details.
"The director, the superior, and the staff officers... they all seem like completely different people."
Megumi thought to herself, "Is it because Carlo was destroyed? Or is it because...this person appeared?"
She realized...
There must be something behind this!
Her gaze fell on the "new captain," An Yong, who had just walked in.
Although An Yong was wearing a uniform, his eyes were cold and a strange smile was on his lips.
Kijima Megumi pretended to obey orders and handed over the captain's armband, but secretly launched an investigation.
She quietly went to An Yong's room.
Behind the hidden door, she discovered an astonishing scene—the real Kishi Isamu, as well as the real Director Sawai and Commander Yoshioka, were trapped in a huge, transparent membrane that looked like a cicada cocoon!
"So... you've all been switched!"
Just then, a sinister laugh came from behind.
"Megumi Kijima, you're up to your old tricks again."
But the fake An Yong had already arrived behind Ju Jian Hui.
Mortal beings are naturally no match for extraterrestrials.
Even after realizing the truth, Kijima Kei was trapped in her cocoon...
Meanwhile, in space.
Daigo and Rena, piloting the Victory Flying Swallow, disobeyed orders and went to make contact with Captain Hayate's spaceship without permission.
In the scene, the fighter jet piloted by Hayate is floating in space with its engine off, looking like a steel coffin.
"I am Daigo, a member of the GUTS team and captain of Hayate. Please respond!"
no respond.
[Ah! Hurry back! Our house has been burgled!]
[This monster is too cunning! Even Director Sawai got caught!]
[To be honest, if there were more of these monsters, they could completely overhaul the leadership of the GUTS team, and Earth would be destroyed!]
[Stand-up doll fiction, huh? Well, we have Daigo!]
……
Daigo and Rena successfully rescued Captain Hayate, who was seriously injured.
On the way back to Earth, Hayate finally revealed the truth.
"About two months ago, near the Copernicus radar station, the Carlo base recovered the corpse of a giant alien with two heads..."
Jifeng leaned back in his seat, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. "I heard it disappeared the next morning."
"Disappeared?" Daigo exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, things aren't that simple."
The wind continued to tell its story.
"The alien was in a state of suspended animation. It has awakened, and... it has taken An Yong's place!"
"So, the real Vice Captain Kishi is..."
"They're probably inside the cocoon."
"Maybe all those people at headquarters are still inside the cocoon."
Jifeng recalled, "That imposter used his identity to sabotage the base's defense system, attracting his accomplices, and ultimately destroyed Carlo himself."
The truth is revealed!
To be fair, Hayate is the first person who can rival Daigo in looks.
[An ace pilot and a dead pilot, huh!]
……
However, the crisis on Earth has only just begun.
At this moment, Daigo, Rena, and Hayate had also returned to the base and were walking in this direction.
Sure enough, they found An Yong sitting in the captain's seat.
The conspiracy is about to be revealed.
Before An Yong could speak, Ji Feng raised his gun.
However, Zongfang reacted quickly and pushed the gun away.
At that moment, An Yong immediately fled the command room.
At this moment, the members of the GUTS team were unaware that their beloved captain had been replaced by aliens, and could only try to stop Hayate.
"If you dare shoot the captain, I'll kill you!"
Shinjo saw Hayate pointing a gun at Kijō Megumi and was furious!
However, Hayate could tell at a glance that "Megumi Kijima" was not human!
Faced with this situation, Captain Gale cleverly put away his gun and then launched a surprise attack while everyone was off guard, catching them completely off guard.
However, the truth soon came out!
Megumi Kijima was played by Mei Zhulang!
With Megumi's true colors exposed, the GUTS team realized the urgency of the situation.
On the other side, Daigo chased after the fleeing Anchō, but at a corner he encountered Yoshitsugu and Nanbara. When the two of them stood there, Daigo dared not move.
At that moment, the director suddenly came up and knocked out Daigo, who was too afraid to use force against his superiors...
[666, pretending to be the director in front of Daigo]
[Hilarious! The heir to light is afraid of his leader!]
[Daigo: Nobody told me the director was an alien!]
……
Seeing that their plan had been exposed, the remaining twin monsters, Meijulang, began to flee frantically.
Using the absorbed memories, they began their swift escape aboard the Victory Flying Swallow EXJ.
Meanwhile, Captain Gale, piloting the Flying Swallow II, gave chase.
The invading enemy will surely fight with all their might!
It's time to show them what a real ace pilot is like!
Although the fighter jet's performance was inferior to the Victory Flying Swallow EXJ, the Hayate demonstrated the top-notch skills of an ace pilot.
He performed a difficult "cobra maneuver" in the air, dodging the beams, and then a series of lasers hit him precisely.
[This is what an ace pilot is like!]
[Uncle Gale is too fierce! Showing off his skills with low health!]
[Daigo still has a lot to learn about flying techniques!]
……
After waking up, Daigo decisively transformed into Ultraman Tiga and joined forces to chase after the fleeing Mejuro.
As the battlefield shifted, Tiga shot down the Hien EXJ in front of him with a single blast!
Finally, the twin monsters, Mejulang, revealed their true colors!
The silver one is the older brother, and the gold one is the younger brother.
Between the two monsters is a huge diamond-shaped organ.
Gu Nan designed this battle exceptionally well.
Mei Zhulang has two heads, giving him a perfect field of vision and excellent teamwork.
The combined part of the two can release light bullets, and just two of them hit Tiga.
Upon seeing this, Tiga rushed to the light bullet launcher, intending to separate them, but instead of separating them, he was controlled and held by the two brothers, who then began to subject him to electrotherapy.
After being tortured, Tiga was thrown a distance away and continued to be bombarded.
From the start, Tiga was caught in a tough battle, attacked from both sides.
But this time, Tiga is no longer fighting alone.
Captain Gale arrived in the Victory Flying Swallow II and shattered the Mei Zhulang brothers' unity with two missiles.
At this moment, Mei Zhulang lost his mind and stretched out a large, long horn.
However, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames!
The title "Horn Breaker" truly reflects his high level of expertise!
Ultraman Tiga instantly delivered a signature hand chop, retrieving the horn.
Mei Zhulang's younger brother also has two horns, but they are not as long as his older brother's. He put his horns together and ambushed Captain Gale.
The flames that suddenly erupted were about to crash into Victory Flying Swallow II!
However, compared to the skills of the deceased pilot, the Gale was far superior.
The long, fiery dragon was easily dodged by the ace pilot.
While Captain Hayate was showing off his skills, Ultraman Tiga was getting beaten up.
It's clear that the Meizhulang brothers are a warrior and a mage, and both are very clear about their roles.
However, Tiga misunderstood his role as a mage, which led to him being severely beaten by his brother, Meizhulang.
Fortunately, I brought a speaker this time. As soon as I changed the background music and played the music, Ultraman Tiga instantly came back to life.
Captain Gale performed his support role well, successfully helping Tiga gather the monsters together.
The two combined their efforts, using a beam cannon and a Zepelion Ray to take down the two despicable aliens.
"boom--!!!"
With a tremendous explosion, the monster was reduced to countless fragments.
The battle is over.
The helipad at TPC headquarters at sunset.
The real Director Sawai and Chief Yoshioka have been rescued.
The misunderstanding has been cleared up.
Jifeng stood beside the fighter jet and bid farewell to everyone.
"Swift Wind, can't you stay?"
Gale smiled and patted his cockpit: "No. My men are still watching me from the moon. I need to go back and rebuild Carlo Base."
He looked at Megumi, then at Munakata, Daigo, Rena, and the others standing behind her.
"Megumi Kijima, you have a great group of subordinates."
Gale put on his helmet, his tone tinged with envy and satisfaction.
"Victory Team, what an enviable team. Everyone here is bound together by a deep bond."
He couldn't help but sigh, "From today onwards, I will rebuild the Carlo base with the goal of becoming the Victory Team. If we can create a Carlo team where everyone trusts each other, I believe the aliens will have no chance to take advantage of us."
"The strongest fortress is the strong and solid bond between team members. Seeing you all this time has made me realize this truth once again."
After saying that, he boarded the fighter jet, transformed into a streak of silver light, and flew towards the moon, a place of sacrifice and glory.
The camera zooms out, focusing on a group photo of the entire Victory Team. Sunlight shines on everyone's faces, warm and bright.
The screen gradually went black, and the end credits song "Waltman Forever" began to play.
At this moment, the originally intense barrage of comments gradually thinned out and became filled with warmth.
[Hayate is so cool!]
This is what bonds are all about.
【Captain Gale, have a safe journey!】
[This episode didn't have any big scenes, but why did it get me so excited?]
Because of trust. When the whole world doubts you, having teammates standing behind you is enough.
[A character's personality was established in just one episode! Captain Hayate has definitely made a lasting impression on everyone!]
……
