History
Halen was a monster who had been living on Earth for a long time. After a new band known as "Bad Scanners" was releasing their new Heavy Metal music around Japan, Halen became annoyed by their music creating painful frequencies towards it and so sought out to destroy its source. After it took out DASH's Bird Jet (which too was making the same frequency) Halen tranced the band being played in a city in Japan and so began to attack several buildings to silence. Once the noise had stopped, Halen took off and quickly avoided efforts by DASH in stopping it.

Halen's next attack would be at a concert being held by "Bad Scanners" themselves while the band was practicing a rehearsal. This time however, DASH was prepared for Halen's appearance and so tried to attack the monster back. Halen's speed however was all the monster needed to evade their assults and so quickly took down their jets with his fireballs. Kaito then transformed into Ultraman Max to save the members of DASH and to battle Halen as well, but Halen's speed soon got the best of Max and the ultra was soon at the mercy of the monster. However once Bad Scanners began playing loudly, Halen became distracted by their music and gave Max to perfect opporitunity to destroy the monster with the Maximum Cannon.

Trivia
