Firdaus was just resting at his home, after return from medical checkout and post his registration form to post office, during his sleep he had a nightmares, in his dream he was in the straight road of the city and saw the whole city was burning like the true disaster and the end of the world. He saw a flammable building and bunch of burning corpse, laying on some of the exploded car and small debris.
He move forwards while look around at his surrounding, the sky was fill with dark cloud and the fire rise up light up the panorama. Change the sky into orange mix with the dark cloud, he look around try to search for someone, he even call someone but no respond. He heard a mix loud roar from a massive creature he turn his head and spotted two space beast, standing towering over the building behind him.
Soon more appear, two of them he already accounted but other remain unknown. He never seen these other monster beside Galberos and Pedoleon. All the space beast were now surround him and gather all along, circle him. Firdaus was about to grab his evoltruster only this time, the device wasn't with him, he search inside his pants pocket, but none were. Some of the beast open their mouth, bringing their lower jaw down slightly. the saliva drop, reveal they were hunger for food. But was it worth it for a hundreds meter tall monster devours a single tine human.
Definitely not worth it, as he look all the different variant of space beast, his eye caught one of the being hovering at the sky, his body were black, cover by a several red line, his eye were noticeably red. He had shape like a humanoid, with arms and legs. He was surrounded by a rock shape like water flow, the being soon become closer and closer. He was land between two of the space beast. Firdaus stare the gigantic humanoid in front him.
He was like ant compare to all of these creature, the being at the other hand stare at him, emotionless, and had lack of empathy. His red crimson eye look at the puny mortal, the road was suddenly start shaken rapidly as well, and soon the debris from the road where he stood up now, rise and rise even more until he reach the face of the being. This time he can see it closely. It had eye and mouth like Ultraman, but red in color.
"Who.....who are you?" Firdaus dare to speak, the being spoke, his voice was loud decimal and deep as well. "No, not from you" Firdaus said, the giant said, "What did you want from me?, what had you done?" Firdaus said. the giant said. "What?" Firdaus was confused with that statement. the figure then rise his gigantic fist and smash it to Firdaus.
As the dark giant slam his fist towards to Firdaus, he quickly woke up and rise up from his bed, it was a nightmare all along, he hold both side of his head for what the nightmare he just witness. He then he got a vision. He saw the city was under fire, "No, no," no another nightmare, but then it appear again, wait, this was vision. Not a nightmares. He gasp as he realize the city was under attack as he saw in his vision. He quickly grab his coat and his device and went out in the rush.
But he encounter with his father, "Woah, what's in the rush?" Mr. Hassan said, "Sorry, dad need to go Chong house, had something important!" he said, Mr. Hassan wonder what's with the rush, but still had time to told his son the he need to return home before 7:00 P.M. "Firdaus went to the parking lot, where no one could spot him, after make sure the area was safe for transformation, he bring out his Evoltruster and transform into Ultraman Nexus.

Ultraman rise up and teleport towards to the location, the shine bright actually startled several people at his apartment including his dad, many wonder what was that sounds and that light. Ultraman perform a travel sphere and travel faster to the destination, as he reach his coordinate. The travel sphere and land on the street of Metropolis. The travel sphere soon disappear reveal to be a gigantic humanoid, silver pattern on it's skin. His eye were oval and glowing.
It soon stood up and reveal itself to be Ultraman. Ultraman look at his surrounding, everything was destroy and cover by fire. He then look at in front of him, the member of Justice league were all now stood in front of him. Not just them, the military were coming here as always, Ultraman at the other hand, look around to search for the enemy, but he spot no one. But little he know, there is other problem he will face.
Ultraman look at his surrounded, and then he look at the Justice who seems hostile towards them, some were flinch when he turn his head and stare at them, especially M'gann who was on the ground. She's starring at the towering large figure in front of her. The military air force had arrived, a dozen of military helicopter were moving towards him. "General the enemy had been spotted, we waiting for your order sir" one of the pilot said.
"Set all fire into missile, all unit target on Ultraman, eliminate that lunatic!" General Wade said.
"Roger, commencing attack on Ultraman" the pilot said, "Chopper one assault to missile, when ready fire them all over!" Pilot 1 said. "Roger, Chopper 3 and 4 change weapon system to missiles, target straight ahead 200 m" pilot 3 said, Ultraman starring at the Justice league but quickly turn his attention as he can sense and heard something was behind him. Ultraman was surprise to see the number of military chopper and from further away and he can see military jet were on his way either.
All Chopper were launching their fire towards to Ultraman, "BOOM!", "BOOM!", missile hit, it launch towards to Ultraman, Ultraman barely react to that attack, though he do felt the attack. He then shield himself with his arm as he cross it into X, and dive his head behind his crossed arm. Each of the missile were strike towards him and Ultraman just hold his position, didn't move or flinch at the shot, though he do feel a little pain from it.
The jet fighter had arrived and launch their missiles towards Ultraman, and he just hold his position, refuse to fight back. The thick smoke cover his entire body, after the missiles launch, Ultraman hold down his defense and saw two jet fighter flight past him at the front, Ultraman just look at two jet fighter. For Justice league, they were try to bring out the fire and rescue some of people that trap inside the damage building.
Superman rescued several people at daily planet and then went to help others. Lois and Jimmy saw the Military are attacking Ultraman, but this time Ultraman act less aggressive then before, a missile were shot from the giant's back, all he do was just stood there, hold his position. The night raider were watch Ultraman were under attack, though most of their member were reluctant to see Ultraman was getting attack just like that.
Mizorogi even refuse to see Ultraman was under attack like that. "Captain!, we can't just stay here and watch......he....i know he......cause this havoc........but....maybe he was under control or something" Mike said, "We can't be sure about that Mike, if he was under control, what if the effect were still there" Ivor said. "Captain what are your order?" Amelia ask, Mizorogi look at Ultraman, he use his power that remain in him to sense any threat of Ultraman. But he sense none. On previous he sense a different energy.

He can't be sure about that, but this one was had similar energy to Himeya as well, "All units prepare, backup Ultraman now!" Mizorogi order. "Roger" all night raider member respond, even Ivor who seems aware also had to follow that order. The chester ship then flight towards to Ultraman, they shot strike vanisher towards to missile that launch towards him. Ultraman who use a circle shield to shield himself from the attack was shock to see those missile were destroy before hit him.
He turn his head and saw the chester ship, the same one he saw and give thumbs up as they help him defeat Pedoleon. The military surely notice this, and so General Wade as he watch through monitor at the military base. He frown and didn't like when unknown party were interrupt his objective. "Half of unit, bring that ship down!" he order, "Yes general, bird squad 5 and bird squad 3, bring the unknown aircraft down now" pilot 1 said.
"Roger that, bird squad 5 and 3, all units attack the unknown aircraft", the night raider saw that the military were turn their target towards them, "We got company" Seo-Yeon said, "It's too risky to stay in group, split up and bring them away from Ultraman" Mizorogi order, "Roger" the night raider respond. The chester then separate and split up, trying to draw those military attention away from Ultraman.
Some of the military aircraft were damage after get a warning shot from Night raider, General Wade had give order to shoot them all down now, show no mercy if they protect the enemy. The military receive the order and fire up to bring down the night rider ship. "Woah, this guy seriously want us all death!" Mike said, "They are military, they following a necessary order, it's normal Mike" Ivor said as he try to avoid been hit by the missile the launch towards him.
Amelia manage to shot several of the missile that launch towards her, but two of it manage to split and moving forwards towards her, her eye wide open, but before it could hit her, a red beam start to shot those missiles, destroying it. It was Superman who came to help after he had evacuate the civilian, Super girl who help her wounded friends for treatment, saw the battle, and wanted to join. Star Girl want to follow, but her wound was serious after getting the slap from Ultraman.
M'gann was the only one who joined Supergirl, she saw Ultraman try to defense himself as he destroying the bullet, she still feel sad after what Ultraman had cause, but she try to be positive, maybe Ultraman was under mind control, beside he had destroy a space beast before, and had save countless life, if not because of him, Zetton will destroy.
Trust her instinct, she flew towards to Ultraman and fuse her power to him, make his body phasing as the missiles were launch towards him, it flew straight towards him, Ultraman was surprise to see those missile launch through his body and went to the back and shot to the building, it did not injured him, Ultraman was surprise and turn his head and look at the missile were landed.
He then turn to his head and saw a small figure, with her eye glow, females if he look carefully, but then turn his head towards to the missile that coming towards him, this time he cross both of his wrist and move really fast, he was using Mach move. Avoid those missiles, he zigzag avoiding those missiles that launch towards him, Captain Marvel had finish to help other to put out the fire from the skyscraper, he then turn his head towards to Ultraman.
Who was using at incredible speed avoiding those missiles, he was amaze to see the speed that Ultraman shown, as well. But this is where it was conflict, should he help him or can trust him, just like what happen to Justice league. He then saw some of the night raider been chase by the military jet fighter, he flew towards those ship that had pinned. He launch a thunder towards to the missile that firing at Night raider.
At the Military, Wade become frustrated as these cape crusader still willing to protect Ultraman, who was clearly become the enemy of mankind now. "Change the formation, release the ion plasma canon" Wade order, the canon he mention was the one he used to shot Mephisto before at the Texas. "Roger, sending ion plasma canon" the soldier said. "I won't let you get away this time" Wade said, as he had waited long enough to eliminate a threat like Ultraman.
Ultraman were now fly away as he realize, he only cause more damage if he stay here. Because many military were now away from him unlike before, he use this chance as his escape and start to jump and launch himself to the air. "He's running away!, chase him now!!" Wade ordered, but that's the problem is, Ultraman flying speed outclass them that only Superman and Captain Marvel could compete. "Sir we lost him, and we lost him before we could use the canon as well" Pilot 1 seems reluctant to said that.
Wade's fist slam to the desk in front of him, frustrated, again, he lost his chance to kill Ultraman. Almost wanted to threw the stuff on the table at the command center, many soldier that operate at there didn't spoke a words. They just focus on their duty, no way they will speak up to general especially when he was angry. Wiping his face, he got something in his mind, he hate it actually, but he had no other choice. He went out from the room through the sliding steel door.
Ultraman disappear from the sight, as his body were glow when he was flying at the sky, it transform back into Firdaus and teleport him outside his room, he was lucky no one was there. He then took breathe as he felt little tired, he then look at the watch on his wrist, it was.....8:30 P.M. Oh no, what should he said this to his father?, he promised to return home before 7:00 P.M, his father really going to kill him for sure.
But without hesitation, he knock the door and surprisingly the door knob didn't lock, well his father use to lock the door knob if he went home late. As he open the door, he saw his father was stood in front of him, with his arm crossed, his face was furious. Firdaus can only look down as he didn't dare to look at his father's face. "What did i just tell you?" Mr. Hassan start to speak, "I had to return home before 7:00 P.M" Firdaus respond in low tone.
"And what time is it now?" he said, "8:30 P.M." Firdaus said, "I called Chong, and he said you weren't as his home, just where had you been?!" Mr. Hassan said, "Gulp" here comes his greatest problem, how should he explain this to his father. "Well it's a.....very long story" Firdaus said, "Speak now" Mr. Hassan demand, now what?. Should he tell his father he had now become Ultraman and save the world, no way, that was too out of story.
After thinking for a moment, he finally give the most stupid answer, he said he went to computer center and play games until he forgot to went home. And of course his father didn't take that answer to kindly, inside his room, he was sit on his bed with bored face, there was red mark on his left cheek, and he was grounded for week and didn't allow to go anywhere as a punishment. Well it was worth it, better that had to face those military.
The founder member of Justice league were analyze the recording of Ultraman rampaging through the city, Miss Martian, Supergirl, Star Girl and Night raider team also joined them as well during the meeting, as she's the closest to the Ultraman that time. A lot of thing that the don't understand why Ultraman suddenly become very aggressive, he was fine on few a days ago. The thumbs up proves that. But in the recording, he was like a different person.
"I don't understand, why this was all happen?" Superman said, "That was what were are discuss about now, and still it doesn't make any sense" Batman said, "Perhaps, maybe something was indeed wrong, or that could be someone else disguise as Ultraman" Manhunter said, now that would totally make sense, of course. Why that never came to their mind. "If that so, neither it could be Mephisto or Faust, or that one was another of their creation" Wonder Woman said.
"Maybe" Green Lantern said, "Woah, they now cloning Ultraman, i mean space beast already a nightmare, but now" Flash said. M'gann now had worried when she heard that answer, she worried about people misunderstood Ultraman and possibly hunt him down as well. but she can't imagine if thousands of that, "M'gann" she look at her uncle as he call her name, "You're the one who was near with Ultraman, had spot any strange thing happen?" Manhunter ask.
M'gann look at others that surround her, she then took a deep breathe and exhale, she then start to talk, "Not much i.....saw strange thing, the only thing i notice was.....his voice" M'gann said, "Harsh and deep, doesn't even sound like him at all" Supergirl said, "What else?" Green Lantern said, "When i call.....Himeya's name.....the giant spoke.....i don't know......it's like something control him........or something was not right.........the way he sounds was fill with hatred and anger" M'gann said.
"I see" Manhunter said, return his head towards the table. "What will the military will do, no way they will let him split after this?" Hawkgirl ask, "Well.....in this case, our case are similar" Superman said, causing everyone to look at him. "When i and Captain Marvel fight, because of misunderstanding, at least Lex was there back me us all up.........but.......Ultraman....i don't think is there is anybody will back him up, even us were saying it" Superman said reluctantly.
"That's going to be a problem sir" Ivor said, "From the logic as always, the military or possibly 2/3 were possibility were now against Ultraman, and possibility create a weapon that could harm him" he continue. "Remember the canon they use at the Texas?" Mizorogi mention, almost everyone in the room know about it, and what it's effect. "I bet they might use that or the mecha that we spot during doomsday attack to counter him" Mizorogi said.
That's was another problem as well, "Could it be Cadmus?" Flash ask, "No Amanda had told me, the project had already cancelled and deleted for good, but i believe there would another hand would be worse that Amanda that involve before" Batman said. "I don't want to suspect who, the last time it happen, we almost harm the good people, i don't want it to happen again, unless we really had strong proves this time" Batman said.
This now will remind the other member do not just make the conclusion without check or had the strong proves. Just then the alarm suddenly sounding alert, "WARNING AN UNDENTIFIED TERRESTRIAL BEING DETECTED, APP PERSONAL MEMBER, REPORT TO ASSEMBLE AREA" the alarm sounding. At the Military base, they also detect this signal as well. This was however was located in Florida, a giant beast that resemble bug had cause chaos as the video on the monitor show, the space beast were eating a car with people inside.
At Penang Island, Firdaus who was reading book inside his room can sense it as well, he heard the evoltruster was beeping like heart, and a vision came. He saw Bugbuzun, a new type were rampaging and eating people.
