《Ultraman Nexus: Justice League Mightiest Hero》EPISODE 32 : AGAINST THE LAW OF NATURE (自然の法則に反して)
Advertisement
4 days after the Bugbuzun incidents, Question was inside his apartment, analysing about Ultraman's behaviour, before during the Metropolis, he was started to act aggressive and assault many of the member and cause collateral damage. But before all the attack, he rescued them before from the slug monster, so why sudden change?. That doesn't add up at all, this took question interest.
"What could be the answer, was it something provoke him, no. Ultraman had host, like Himeya from previous, this new host however was unknown, who is he?" Question ask himself, "Could possibly cloning, Lex Luthor succeed cloning Man of Steel, but in doing so, he must get the sample, but the question is where did the guy got it?" Question said, analysing everything he remember.
"No, maybe it wasn't Lex, maybe dark Mephisto create him, that was the logic answer for now" Question said, he then look on his Laptop and search for Lex Luthor file, during before the incidents happen at Metropolis, Question and Huntress had bust in one of the Lex corporal office building, Question then stole the data and insert it inside his thumb drives. Now return to his apartment, he was on his Laptop, with Lex file that he manage to stole.
The file had many list such as Multiverse, Pandora, Stratagem 5, but the pres. Luthor had many more secret agenda, shortly he click the file, another list came and he search for related file, which was Oval office. Inside Question had found the horror true about Lex plan, and the part about Ultra N project. Was this the project that related to ultraman.
He click the file, and saw everything, "Oh no, no no" he said in worried tone, This continue for several day without sleep or eat. "It's all connected, the alternate reality, project Ultra, it make sense, Time loop, army of Ultra that work under him, Luthor become president, Flash is killed, superman killed Luhtor, and with Ultraman presence, he will use them as ultimate weapon to beat Superman, which changing the time loop".
"Armageddon, end of the world, inevitable, with Ultraman appearance, it boast up the process, the time loop had change, which Ultraman himself can destroy the reality just by existing" Question murmur to himself, he punch the dashboard, "Is the future inevitable? can destiny be change? what if there was a being that similar to Ultraman, but worse?" Question said. The sound of door lock clicking.
Someone was trying to enter, the door was opened, reveal to be huntress, "Screaming your call, you haven't answer the phone for day" she said, enter inside the apartment, which was rather simple and yet messy. Huntress smell something awful and open the window beside her. She heard Question murmur to himself, like he saw the end of the world. "Que? are you alright?" she approach her, inspect if he was okay.
"Had to go" but Question quickly rush and went out from his room, Huntress look at him, what cause him behave like that?. She turn her head and spot the laptop was still on. She sit in front and inspect with her own eyes. The first one she saw the video sample of alternate reality of Justice league and another thing she saw was Ultra N project and their agenda behind it. "Oh my god" that's the only words she could said.
Superman was helping Steel and Aztek fixing the generator at the assemble area, that until Question came and want to speak with him, alone. He said this was serious and important, Superman agree and brough Question to the meeting room, "Always wonder what's in here, private conference room, original members only yes, a place where you free to discuss about your secrets and lies" Question said.

"You said something about me and white house, and Luthor agenda" Superman said looking serious, "Not you but alternate version of you, but the agenda was true" Question said, "Then what is it?" Superman look impatient, "I know what you told everyone, the Justice Lord is a parallel version of Justice League, came to our world to get rid of the crime just like they did to their world".
"But i spare the one the words, the parallel version of you Killed Lex Luthor, but this, this one was worse" Question said, Superman just stay silent, his face was frown actually, but he want to know more. "Ultra N project, haven't heard of it?" Question ask, "No, then i'll explain, it was the original project that run by Cadmus before Amanda shut it down for good, but you do realize someone else get their hand on the project".
There was a little surprise in Superman's face but he keep quite and listen, "The Ultraman appearance itself change the time loop, just only by existing, he change the world of Justice Lord, as well, it was meant for the balance of the universe and multiverse as well, i don't know, i got some weird dream about the Apocalypse, no, they using Ultraman to speed up the plan, the plan to follow the original plans. Flash was killed, you kill Luthor".
"It was Inevitable, no matter what, the fate had been seal, it can't be stop" Question stating the fact is like he was going crazy. Superman feel sorry for his condition he was deal right now, "Question?" but as the man of steel held the detective's shoulder, he startled by it, "I'm sorry, i'm worried about your condition, you're mix up, but if what you said was true, we need to find more clue about this" Superman said in serious.
"Right, i'll go check for-", "No" Superman cut his words, "But you said-", "You had done enough, you look tired, go get some rest, i'll discuss with other member of the league" Superman said. Outside the room, Captain Atom was hiding while carefully heard their conversation, Ultra N project?. General Wade never told him any detail about this. He need to follow Question for more.
Luthor was went to his office with bunch of important paper on his hand, that until he saw someone sit on his place, as the chair turn around towards him, Question. How stubborn this guy was as Superman had told him to rest. Luthor at the other hand just smile seeing the faceless man, "Question isn't it?, i believe you had took something that belonged to me" Lex said, "Had you seen this before?" Question throw a newspaper about it.
"It's going to be like you're a president, "Just like in other world" he finish his tone with serious. "That wouldn't against me" Lex said look amuse with that statement, "No, but i want you to understand something Luhtor, although it might distinct you as human being, but i want you to understand the law and the power of force of nature" Question said, his tone sounds like a warning. "What are you babbling about?' Lex cross his arm.
"Everything had it's law Lex, that including about cloning as well, you once cloned Superman and create an error product call Bizzaro, but this one, this was a being that even a smartest brain couldn't understand as well, that means you are one of it" Question said. "You make to compare all my creation like Amazo" Lex said, "Amazo might be the closes case, but however he was aware and had self purpose in his life, this one we can't determine what was it purpose, i'm afraid if the being saw us as a threat, it will loss any will to reason with us" Question said.

"Interesting theory" Lex said, "Not theory, but fact, the time loop had change, the universe of Justice Lord was no longer exist, but it was replace with reality like us, the Justice lord or your counterpart now had similar live like us all" Question said, "How do you know?" Lex ask, "I spent much of my life studying them, the time loop, quantum, everything, it did make sense to me, whatever you do, you mess with the ender" Question said.
He then loose up his neck tie, "And that's why, killing you is one of the process to stop this from happening" Question said. Lex smirk and look at his fist, "Unfortunately for you, it was not really an option" he said as he suddenly punch Question and throw him into the shark tank nearby. Lex was impressive with his strength. "I guess you had know to much, the plan about me become president was still, but" Lex said.
Question stood up and fight back, but Lex overpower him, by grab his throat, just where did the bald man got his strength. Lex then slap Question twice, "Do you know how much power i give up to be president?" Lex said with sinister smile, he then throw Question to his office desk, Question land roughly and groan in pain.
Lex then approach him and grab him by throat, "Since you were curious and admire my work, i would humbly let you saw it" Lex said as he took Question into a secret path in his office where there was an elevator waiting. They both went to lowest area of the building, as the door was opening, Question barely manage to look around, as he took the beating. But as Lex stop walking, he slowly rise his head up and look in shock.
He saw a large test tube, inside it was Ultraman Nexus, a clone of him. Question was so shock that he couldn't speak any words with it, "Beautiful right, he was my most majestic and perfect creation, i call him UltraLex, stupid name it was, but at least pretty smart" Lex said. "What had you done?" Question said, "What had i done, the human revolution of course, finally i had proves them all wrong, they said it was impossible, but not to me, sure it'll take me a quite beating to create it".
"But finally for the first time, he was my perfect creation" Lex said, Question still looking at the gigantic figure. He himself can't believe, a human being manage to replicate another being that beyond human understanding, he guess, he know a bad thing will happen. Doctor Moon approach them with tablet in his hand. "He was ready Mr Luthor" Dr. Moon said.
Perfect, should we test our........big friendly over here" Lex said.
Meanwhile Superman was flying across the Metropolis city, he then heard a siren alarm through his com link which he recognize this one. "Jimmy" he gave him a watch that could contact him, in case the guy dealt with something deep trouble, he fly towards to location signal. And land to one of the building as the signal was strong. But however it wasn't Jimmy, it was Huntress.
Seeing she grab the watch that he gave to his friends, he quickly dash and snatch it away from here, "What did you think you're doing?" Superman said with threatening tone, "You're little friend is fine, i was trying to get to your attention, you guys need a hot line" Huntress said, Jimmy was place 10 beside them both, tide up at the chair. "Mmmhhmmmm" Jimmy try to speak but his mouth got tape.
"Hang in there Jimmy, this better be good" Superman turn his attention towards Huntress, "Question been missing for almost a week, just before he disappear, he's behaving oddly, i mean oddly for him" Huntress said. Superman look at him, "He saw a fake tape about you killing Luthors and freak out, but me i saw something else beside that......they were plan for clone army of Ultraman" Huntress said. "HMMMMMM!!!!" Jimmy was surprised to heard that.
Superman didn't talk much, he quickly release Jimmy, "Cloning Ultraman!!" he said in surprise, "I know, big surprise" Superman said. "We'll go find him, J'onn must be able to locate him" Superman said.
The battle of Penang island was rather than bring a scar actually to him, even though it was more than a week, but it feel like it just happen yesterday, once again the Peninsular of Malaysia had deal with the dark history of space beast, first during the brast Grundy attack at Selangor and now Bugbuzun at Penang island. And he just lost Mr. Ali, a kind man who he seem like a father figure.
He's gone, may he was rest well, the citizen of Penang island were evacuated to Perak, where they will stay there until the situation can determined was safe, Penang island was now under tight secure and restricted area, the military and authorities were now make sure no one from outsider get inside, Firdaus and his father were stay at the Sungai Petani, for now. Chong and his family stay a little bit further away.
While Firdaus were at Bandar Puteri Jaya, Chong were stay at AMANJAYA. But they still in contact, at the same time, Firdaus was somehow eager to train Silat as well, which surprise his father. As he know his son was not a interest with martial art when he was younger, but it is a good sign if Firdaus eager to learn traditional martial art.
Silat is one of the most effective martial combat, one of the reason a lot of it's movements are unpredictable, which mean sometimes it can confuse opponents during fight. There was someone at the resident that Firdaus live now, were expert in Silat, his name was Tok Mat a middle age man, who can be training silat at the field behind his home, the day when first Firdaus met him.
He was eager actually, but the first thing Tok Mat told him, Firdaus lack of discipline, reckless and rush when it comes doing something, so that's the first thing early Morning around 6 A.M, discipline was the first thing Firdaus learn during, he at first was hard to follow those movements, but he hold and try not to complain and act whiny like a child. It was 10 days after, Tok Mat teach Firdaus about passion.
And this is where Firdaus start to speak up, not complain, but rather why?. "Tok, i though you're going to teach me some movement from silat, but you though me something basic" Firdaus said. "Silat was not something you can play around, it was a self defense, not to use for violence, and that's what worry me" Tok Mat said. "But i'm a good kid, i can be responsible" Firdaus said.
"That was sometimes we all can forget, yes you are a good kid, but are you had responsibility?" Tok Mat ask, and no answer from the young man, "You're 18, which mean this is where you're now enter to first stage to become a man, you're no longer a child, you're young adult, you need to prepare for the challenge at the outside" Tok Mat said. "Again we start what we learn i want to see how far the improvements of yours" Tok Mat said.
"Yes Tok" Firdaus answer, he prepare his stance and start to do a basic movements for Silat, he do every movement and stance that Tok had teach him, he keep doing it for several minutes. "Not fast enough, again! Tok Mat said, Firdaus try his best to increase the speed of his attack, This was keep for 15 minutes more, his body were now sweating. "Stop" Tok Mat said, and Firdaus lower his stance.
"You had potential to be better, but the problem is you was rush and impassion, that would make your stance can loose" Tok Mat said, "Yes Tok" Firdaus said, "Got get some rest, you got 20 minutes" Tok Mat said, "Yes Tok" Firdaus answer, there was a bench nearby and he walk forward it and sit. As just he was about to relax, he sense a dangerous vision came inside his mind, he saw the dark entity it emerge from the shadow and bring darkness to the whole universe.
This cause him to fall from his place, Tok Mat saw him and quickly approach him, "Firdaus, what's wrong?" he ask. He took a deep breathe in shock, he was shock what he saw in his vision, "I'm......I'm fine" he lied, "Steady, take a deep breathe and exhale" Tok Mat said, "Sit down okay", he place the young man on the floor. Firdaus held both side of his head, thinking about that nightmare, but was that really a nightmare or it was a warning vision?.
He didn't know, but the dark giant was somehow terrifying, years ago, there was a being called Darkseid had conquer the earth, he claim himself as the new god, if he mentioned that. Was this dark being was as terrifying as him, he didn't know, he didn't want to think. Tok Mat finally return with a small wooden bowl in his hand.
"Here, drink this" Tok Mat said, Firdaus look at the wooden bowl at Tok Mat's hand, both his hand reach it, "Careful it's hot" Tok Mat said, Firdaus blow look what contain inside the bowl, a herb medicine in lubricant, but the thing is even he himself didn't know what it is, but the colour was brown, he blow the surface of the herb, and slowly took a sip. Only it taste really bitter, make him lose appetite.
But apparently he swallow what he already sip, and give the remain to Tok Mat. "You look tired, i gift you a lift" Tok Mat said as he was about to send Firdaus back to his home, with his Motorcycle. "Eh, it's okay tok, It's okay, i'm fine, just, think to much" Firdaus said, "Better not be a habit" Tok Mat said. "Go home, go get some rest" Tok Mat said, "What?!!, Tok i can continue training". Firdaus try to argue.
"Yes from what i see, but i'm afraid you can't focus" Tok Mat said, "But-", "Firdaus, patient is key to achieve strength, i know we all can be impassion when it comes to reach our goal, but passion what make us to understand our surrounding, rush and reckless only make thing sloppy, when we passion we can learn something, especially responsibility, remember that Firdaus" Tok Mat said. "Yes Tok" Firdaus said.
Tok Mat humm, "Our training session is end for today, you can come over tomorrow, early Morning, or evening, i will be here" Tok Mat said. "Yes Tok and Thank you Tok, Assalamualaikum" Firdaus said, "Waalaikumsalam" Tok Mat reply. Firdaus then exchange his clothe and get to his bicycle and cycling to road where his house headed, or more like a place to stay for a while. He was actually pretty angry why that vision suddenly came from his mind. He hate it actually, why it just pop out of nowhere.
But when to think about it, what if it is a warning. Just who was that thing, the narrow street brough him to the Palm oil plantation area, not the interior but the exterior of the garden. But then he stop his cycling, he then fishing inside his coat, grabbing the Evoltruster, he look at the device. "Responsibility, but about what?" Firdaus guess. "Are you just sit there and stare the device?", a voice startled him and rise his head and look forwards to his direction.
He saw a humanoid being, female as there was a curve, black eye on both, three crest, and face that resemble Ultraman. "You......you are........that time" Firdaus pointed to her. "Surprise to see me?" Dark Faust said, "What did you want?" Firdaus ask, "So impatient, how about i give a name, Faust, Dark Faust, and so we had finally met face to face, second Dunamist" Faust said. "Second?" Firdaus was wonder why. Wait, was that meant the red Nexus was someone before.
Who was the person before him that become Ultraman?. Firdaus just keep silent as he stare at the humanoid being, no one was there accept them, "If you had nothing to speak, let me tell why, i was looking for you" Faust said, "To kill me?" Firdaus said, "No, but i want you to do me a favour" she said. Favour?., "You see, i had a brother who was actually look like me" Faust didn't finish her words as Firdaus spoke.

8 243Royal Guard (Complete)
I was an ordinary worker ant of the Kingdom, one of the millions populating a spread of land ten kilometers long. I had an ordinary life: I dug, I ate, and I slept; and a dream that was shared by all workers who wanted to live a life of adventure. I was on the last day of my mandatory community service, a day from becoming one of the harvesters --the crown jewel of our society-- when fate played its sick joke on me. I broke my mandible, lost my dream, and was almost forced into slavery as a result. That’s when she came into my life, a princess. She had no wings on her back, but the wings inside her were wider than the fairies that roamed the sky. She took me under her wing and populated my life with adventures and mysteries unreserved for a mere harvester. Life was good until we found termites sneaking into our territory. That’s when the adventures ended. She was mocked for calling the termites a threat. However, she remained determined to protect her kingdom, and I, to protect her. No matter the difficulties I remained by her side. Because we were a pair: a princess and her Royal Guard.
8 171Odd, How I Got Here
I somehow got teleported...or something of the such into this new realm. Hopefully I can survive in this world I've only known of from anime, games and fanfiction... "Not much hope into this, huh?" Ooooohh...not, at, all... Well, time for f***ery and beyond... (This will teeter between T and M for safety, and sadly updates will be slow) ((Coverart from Valley ingame via Steam image capture, and with slight edit by me))
8 344The Polyglot's Rune
Fear. Regret. Memories. They all flashed before my eyes as my life began to fade away. I felt a darkness encroach upon my heart followed by a sinister foreboding. Within that moment I was asked a single question by a powerful, mystical being. “Brave being, do you wish to accomplish a great deed in your life?” “No,” I refused, but the voice did not listen. It summoned me to its world only to try to have me slaughtered. But then, I was saved by him, the princess who disguised herself as a man. He was hellbent on revenge, and he was determined to drag me down with him. This story is meant to be a bit of a mix of genres and cultures, so there are some elements that may seem xianxia like, but it's not exactly the same so I didn't tag it. It also has multiple lead characters but is written in first person. Schedule: Dropped Normal Chapter Length: approximately 3000 words Warning: Tagged [15+] for Strong Language and Violence (Gore and Profanity aren't very prevalent, but I added the warning tags just in case).
8 130In The Maw Of The Gods
Synopsis Lilly Harper was always the type to keep to herself. She struggled to make friendships and so, she simply opted not to. That was why moving to the coastal town of Wilham didn’t bother her. She wasn’t leaving anybody behind and she certainly didn’t expect to be making any friends any time soon. However, when she starts hearing about the school’s “Magic Club”—a group of weirdos who claim that magic is real, she can’t deny that she’s slightly intrigued. Then without warning, she suddenly finds herself wrapped up with them. And what if they aren’t crazy? What if magic is actually real? And what if it’s because of that magic that something more powerful than they could ever conceive of is drawn to Wilham? I plan to follow a release schedule of Tuesday/Friday. Average chapter length will be 4,000 to 6,000 words and I will be using multiple POV's quite often. Also to note, while I am flagging the story with content warnings, I am only doing so because there are specific moments where it will be needed. Overall, the story will be relatively tame and I plan to put extra warnings at the beginning of chapters that it applies to. Thank you to everybody who decides to give my story a chance and I hope you enjoy it!
