Return of Ultraman
MAT had gotten hold of the killer insect from space and contained it in a glass cage. All attempts to destroy the bug with weak beams of energy failed, and thus it was moved to the target range where the members could bring out their bigger guns. Firing away at the aquarium with anti-kaiju firepower, they shattered the glass and struck the insect inside, but it survived. The beetle somehow mutated and grew, becoming a bipedal monstrosity. As MAT continued to fire, the insect vanished, forcing the team to begin the search anew. As their plane flew over the city, the ground began to split and a massive creature crawled forth. The war was on again, but the creature’s exoskeleton acted as armor and allowed it to withstand all their attacks. Goh transformed into Ultraman Jack, but the insect was able to contend with the new hero. Using its bolt and pincers, the insect brought Ultraman to the limits and shrugged off the mighty Specium Ray! As his power began to run dry, the hero managed to sever off its antenna with his Ultra Bracelet, removing its ability to fire its bolts. As pain racked Nokogirin, the hero used his Hand Blast to completely destroy the creature in a huge explosion.
