The Tragedy on Arb
Not yet called Hikari, this being of light was flying through space. His story begins when he is going to the Planet Arb, a completely peaceful planet, that hadn't had a single conflict and had been prospering for tens of thousands of years. Hikari arrived on the planet, being surprised by its beauty. Suddenly, the crystals in the Planet Arb started floating, making the form of a humanoid figure. This being presented herself to Hikari, and believed that he was an Ultraman. Hikari said that he was not one of them, because he doesn't have any fighting skills, but Arb trusted him because of his pure heart, which was also like her's. Hikari told the being that he wanted to stay on the planet. The being of Arb denied him, explaining that the peace on Arb was only temporary, and soon a great disaster would occur that would destroy the planet. But a hero with the Armor of Light would arrive from the heavens at that time, and he would fuse with the soil of Arb and be called Tsurugi, and would defeat the destroyer. These sayings were known as the "Prophecy of Tsurugi" which foretold the end of the peaceful planet. Hikari said that he would become a hero and protect Arb, and flew to another planet.

Arriving on another planet, Hikari started his search for the giant of legend, and found a being covered by a red cloak. Hikari told him that he wanted to meet with the giant said to make the impossible possible. The unknown being replied saying that he knew where he was, but that he is not sure if the being wanted to see him. At the same time, a great thunderstorm started rampaging, and the being told Hikari that he would meet with the great being if he could make the rain stop. Hikari, after concentrating for a moment, shot a beam of light straight to the sky, stopping the rain, and making the sky clear for the planet, so clear that the being had to cover his eyes. Suddenly, the red-cloaked being vanished, and a silver-caped being appeared behind Hikari, revealing himself to be Ultraman King, the giant he was searching for. Ultraman King mentioned to Hikari that he had many names, but the name "Ultraman King" was given to him by the humans, saying that they are beings form a planet called L-77. Granting him the Knight Brace, Ultraman King warned him about losing his pure heart. Hikari decided to leave and head back to planet Arb, but King told him to be careful, that he might now be drowned by evil desires, 'the most clear water is the easiest to dirty'. Hikari left the planet.

While the being approached planet Arb, he noticed it was under attack. He arrived to the horrible scene of the destruction of the planet, as many poor beings were being eaten by a terrible beast. Hikari's heart was consumed by fury and vengeance, via telepathy Ultraman King told him he couldn't fight because of that, but Hikari disobeyed and started fighting the monster, with all his attacks failing. The monster escaped from the field of battle, and Hikari was left moaning and groaning, desiring for revenge, but he wasn't alone in that feeling, he could sense Arb's desire of vengeance too, and Arb's power fused with Hikari, giving him the Armor of Vengeance. Hikari, with his new found power, flew to different planets investigating the monster, and finally discovered her name: Bogal, who was taking flight to Planet Earth, to consume it completely.

Ultraman Mebius
Ultraman Mebius ウルトラマンメビウス(Urutoraman Mebiusu?) was a rookie Ultra warrior from M78 who had a lot to live up to. He was chosen as the new protector of the earth and was the tenth Ultra from the Land of Light. His series is set in the same universe as the original timeline; when Mebius first appears, it is mentioned that this is the first time an Ultraman has appeared on earth in 25 years. Under the disguise of Mirai Hibino, Mebius joins CREW GUYS, the monster attack team of the series. At the end of the series, he is honored as the last of The Ultra brothers. Ultraman Mebius was created by Tsuburaya Productions in attemps to celebrate the Ultra series 40th Anniversary.

Battle on Earth
The events after the first Saga episode occur throughout the Ultraman Mebius series. Hikari (as Tsurugi) arrived on Earth, at the time of his arrival, Crew GUYS were having their first battle after long training. Many members of the team died during the arrival of the monster Dinozaur, who easily destroyed almost every member of the team, among them Captain Serizawa who crashed into the monster and supposedly died in the explosion. However, when his ship blew up, the explosion expelled him, and he was taken by Tsurugi, as he found that he needed a human form or host to live on the planet, to get revenge on Bogal. However, unlike other Ultra/human mergers, when Tsurugi was in his human vessel, the human was completely controlled by him. When Ultraman Mebius was fighting Sadora, he was saved once by Tsurugi, who made many appearances where ever Bogal appeared. Until one day, Bogal appeared in a forest, and GUYS and Mebius started to fight him, Ryuu saw Serizawa nearby and called to him, of course he didn't know who Ryuu was, so he still transformed and tried to kill Bogal, but when he was about to fire his beam, he was stopped by Ryuu, who screamed Hikari's host's name, and felt something that made him unable to fight, memories of his host began to awaken and affect him mentally, and was beaten down by Bogal, but Mebius saved him, and later "destroyed" Bogal. Serizawa later appeared before Mirai Hibino, telling him to stay out of his way, and revealed him the story of Planet Arb, before vanishing, he then repeated to Mebius the warning to stay out of his way.

Some time later, Ryuu was standing in the cliff where he usually spent his time with Captain Serizawa, and suddenly he hears a voice asking him who he was, and when he looked back, it was Tsurugi, in Serizawa's body. Ryuu was shocked and saddened, and when Tsurugi told him why he has using Serizawa's body. Ryu demanded the release of Serizawa but the Ultra refused the human and nearly attacked him before Sakomizu appeared. Sensing Bogal's appearance Tsurugi left to do battle. Arriving to find Mebius holding up an transformed Bogal (called Bogal Mons), Tsurugi attempted to destroy the monster but Mebius stood in his way. Mebius warning him that destroying Bogal now would cost countless human lives, but Tsurugi did not care and attacked the young Ultra. Only the well placed shot be Ryu caused him to pause as more memories of Serizawa began to surface. It was then that Bogal Mons awoke and attacked the blue Ultra from behind, gravely injuring him before it was driven away by Mebius. Disappearing he was not seen again until the next battle with Bogal.
