Chapter 3: 'The Man Who Stole The Black Hole' Arc []
Juggler with a capsule
Orb VS a horde of monsters
Jugglus Juggler is imprisoned on Planet 484, but he stages a prison break. He steals the Super Polymerized Gold Capsule that contained "The Milky Way's Most Dangerous Lifeform" , Balloonga. On his way, he found a girl named Biranki, who had a helmet on that blocks out her brain waves. In the past, she was a princess who was locked up in a tower by her parents because of her ability to summon monsters using her brain waves, and had a helmet put on her. At some point, she dreamed about a prince coming to rescue her, and being lovestruck, she was stressed that she would never find love up there in the tower. That stress caused her to summon a Gango and terrorize the town. She was locked away on Planet 484. Now Juggler saw her as a useful ally, and broke the mask she wore, becoming her "prince" in a way that Juggler himself doesn't want to acknowledge. She summoned Gango and five other monsters whose names were not explicitly stated, while Juggler crafted the Balloonga Bomb that can destroy the universe with a black hole. Gai gets on a ship, initially without knowing Shorty followed him. He goes through a labyrinth fighting off aliens. He then encounters the six monsters and kills them with the Orb Ground Calibur. The impact knocks Biranki away. Shorty dies trying to defuse the Balloonga Bomb due to high voltage electrical shocks, and gives Gai his pendant. Gai gets angry, goes to the top of a tower, and nearly beats Juggler to death with his hands, but stops. Juggler and Biranki are arrested, but the stress of being separated from Juggler caused Biranki's brain waves to be so strong that it breaks the new helmet she is forced to wear. The ship they are on explodes and Biranki survives somehow, drifting through space. Juggler disappears. Gai goes back to O-50 and obtains the Orb Ring and his next mission, to stop the revival of the Lord Monsters. Juggler, on the other hand, receives his Dark Ring under the shadow of the light of Orb.
Chapter 4: 'Fierce Battle! Ishtal Civilization' Arc []
Orb VS Magatanothor
The place called Kemati Buki (Hill of Death) , an archaeological site where an ancient superscience war apparently happened, was called Ishtal Civilization 4000 years ago in 1800 BC, and it was a magnificent city. Gai had stopped there on his mission to stop the revival of the Lord Monsters, when he saw signs that Magatanothor was about to revive; such as a strange aurora phenomenon. Gai met Dana , who he befriended. Meanwhile, a mysterious entity dressed up like a mummy, whose name is Nuru Ra Hotep , spreads the suspicious religion called Magacism to the people, a religion that praises Magatanothor, who would apparently destroy the world. Wanting to investigate further, Gai dresses up like a Magacist and enters the Magacism temple, where he encounters a Dodongo and kills it. A strange figure in the shadows obtains Dodongo's Kaiju Card. Gai goes deeper into the temple and finds Nuru Ra Hotep, who sends a few Mummy Monsters after Gai, but Gai escapes and defeats them. Nuru Ra Hotep uses the Dodongo card to awaken Magatanothor, who begins to destroy Ishtal. Gai fights as Ultraman Orb and defeats it using the Orb Supreme Calibur, releasing so much heat the sand turns to glass. Gai obtains Ultraman Tiga's Ultra Fusion Card though the Orb Ring. Nuru Ra Hotep takes off his disguise, revealing himself to be Jugglus Juggler, who has now obtained Magatanothor's Kaiju Card. The people migrate elsewhere after Ishtal's destruction. Many years later, Dana gets old and dies, but not before she sees Gai one last time. Gai leaves, fighting off monsters and alien invaders as thousands of years pass.
Chapter 5: 'From Rusalka With Love' Arc []
Episode 5-1: 'From Rusalka With Love' []
Gai in a photograph
In the 20th century, Gai heard of an omen that a Lord Monster would revive under an aurora in the Tundra, so he went there. The abnormal sun rays caused the ice to melt, freeing Kingsaurus II at Paikal Lake , which Gai defeats. A young local artisan named Sir Morozov took a picture of Gai holding up the monster's tail. Juggler obtains Kingsaurus II's Kaiju Card. In 1908, East Europe, Rupashika Empire , there were frequent fights between royalties and the revolutionary army, so Natasha Romanová, the daughter of an officer, runs away into Rusalka to avoid the conflict. She finds some old newspapers and saw an article with the photo of Gai in it. One day, Natasha witnessed the battle between Orb and Super C.O.V., who had revived from the fjord valley. She finds an injured Gai after the battle, and takes care of him, giving him water and mushroom soup. Gai has lost his memories, so Natasha takes him to the hospital and they come across a village. Gai helps the villagers with chores and they start to like him. He plays the Orbnica and Natasha accompanies him. One night, Pris-Ma appeared in an aurora, and Orb fought it, somehow regaining his memories. Juggler harvests its Kaiju Card. One month later, Juggler awakens the Lord Monster of Light Maga-Zetton. Gai gave Natasha the Orbnica and went to fight Maga-Zetton, and a fireball hits Natasha. Enraged, he uses the Orb Supreme Calibur to destroy Maga-Zetton, but also caused an event known as the Rusalka Great Explosion , destroying the plants in a 30 meter radius. Juggler had protected Natasha from the blast and revived her before running away. Gai gains Ultraman's Ultra Fusion Card, and then finds his Orbnica, assuming Natasha died in the blast. In 1916, Natasha went to Japan by herself and fell in love with an interpreter from the Yumeno Family , and they got married. However, Natasha never forgot about Gai, so she put a photo of them in the last doll of her Matryoshka , so that the last doll will not be empty, and it was passed down to her descendants.

Trivia[]
- Many things in the Chronicle draw inspiration from real-life parallels:
- The title and plot of Chapter 3 (The Man Who Stole The Black Hole) are inspired by the movie The Man Who Stole The Sun.
- Maga-Orochi originating from the Monster Galaxy is a plausible reference to a real life monster/staburst galaxy called Orochi.
- Ishtal turning into the Hill of Death after a supposed ancient super-science war is this world's equivalent to Mohenjo-Daro, otherwise known as the Mound of the Dead.
- The Rusalka Great Explosion draws inspiration from the Tunguska event.
- Lake Paikal has a one-letter difference to the real life Lake Baikal.
- The Mystery of The Burlesque Triangle parallels the mysterious disappearances at the Bermuda Tringle.
- Sector 51, a secret organization that investigates UFOs and aliens, is a reference to Area 51.
- The UFO sighting in Rockwez, New Sarajevo may have been inspired by the Rosswell UFO Incident.
- The Three-meter Aliens may be a reference to the Flatwoods Monster.
- Two of the locations in the setting have names that are possibly derived from corruptions of Malay/Indonesian languages:
- Planet Ganun Api sounds very similar to "Gunung Api", which means "volcano".
- Kemati Buki may be a corrpution of the phrase "Bukit Kematian", which means "Hill of Death".
- This name may have been chosen to make a joke of the fact that Ultraman Tiga, Magatanothor's sealer, is (somewhat) well known to have his name mistranslated into "Ultraman Three" in the aforementioned languages.
- The name of Jugglus Juggler's disguise 'Nuru Ra Hotep' is derived from two other names; one being Nyarlathotep (An Eldritch being from H.P. Lovecraft's works, much like Gatanothor/Ghatanothoa) and the other being Imhotep (An Egyptian man who was said to be the probable architect of the step pyramids, who was the namesake of the titular antagonist of The Mummy films).
- Count Orlok's name may have come from a character of the same name in the movie Nosferatu.
