The Return of Ultraman
Sartan was an alien monster arriving on Earth in the form of a meteorite-like egg. A group of children saw the object crash to Earth and investigated the crater, calling MAT to investigate and finding the meteor-like egg. MAT believed the object harmless and left it with them, but it began to flash and move on its own, breaking out of the container, quickly growing to giant size and hatching like an egg, Sartan emerged. But before they could investigate, Sartan had already vanished. Later that night, the now full grown creature flattened a car on the highway. As MAT investigated, Sartan tore through a building nearby, discovering the creature was invisible, only able to be seen through infrared vision and attacked the monster after finding its location. Sartan was forced to become visible and fight back, knocking two of them out before continuing  his rampage until a MAT aircraft attacked. Sartan was only further angered by this and tried to escape by turning invisible but was quickly attacked again, forcing him out. Sartan used his invisibility to ambush the craft, knocking it out of the sky before vanishing again. The next day, the invisible kaiju attacked the city once more, prompting MAT to attack him. Sartan showed himself to attack MAT but when attacked, quickly turned invisible again. MAT then used an electrified net to catch him, but he proved too strong and tore the net free, attacking the city again. Go soon became Ultraman Jack, only for the kaiju’s invisibility to be used against him, allowing it to come up behind him and strangle him with his trunk. Sartan was thrown over his shoulder to the ground but became invisible again, this time tackling Jack to the ground from behind. Jack then used the Ultra Bracelet, revealing Sartan’s location, after which he used two beams from his eyes to make Sartan visible again. The two leapt at each other, Jack knocking Sartan to the ground. Jack then used flips and kicks to spin Sartan around and make him dizzy before using Ultra Willpower to lift him into the air were a beam of energy from the Ultra Bracelet blew Sartan to pieces, ending his rampage.
