== History ==
=== The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. The Monster Army ===
In an ancient temple, there are two kids making the rain dance (as there was a drought worldwide, because the sun was closer to the Earth), with one of them, named Koh, wearing a mask of Hanuman. Suddenly, three thieves appeared on the temple, and they were going to steal the head, Koh notices it, and follows them to only being violently beaten down by them. However, he somehow recovers, leaps to the jeep, to only end being shot in his head. Anan (The mother of the other kid that was with Koh), grabs him and takes his corpse to the temple. Watching from Nebula M78, Mother of Ultra witnesses Koh's death, and she goes for herself to Earth, and restores Koh back to life, but as Hanuman. Hanuman spoke to the sun, but suddenly the three thieves are seen, and Hanuman (as Koh) goes in front of them, and makes a monkey dance. The three thieves started to fire bullets at the kid, but they bounce off of him. Koh transforms into Hanuman, then grows to a giant size, and crushes the three thieves.
The head of the statue magically flies to the temple, and goes back to where it was. Hanuman goes back to speak to the sun, he receives a magicla flower, and uses it to recover Anan. Sometime later, in a rocket base full of scientists, they were going to launch missiles to the sky to break the drought, and release rain. A missile is fired and it successfully causes rain.
In the second attempt, something goes wrong, the rocket blows up on the launch pad, and sets off a chain reaction to the other rockets, causing a terrible earthquake and a fissure, where five monsters rise, they are: Gomora, Tyrant, Astromons, Dorobon and Dustpan. Anan and his mom go in search of Koh, they find him doing the monkey dance in the forest. He rapidly transforms into Hanuman and goes to fight the monsters. In a certain point he is in need of help, and the six Ultra Brothers: Ultraman, Ultraseven, Ultraman Jack, Ultraman Ace, Zoffy and Ultraman Taro arrived. They all have a great battle against the monsters, but one of them escapes and follows Anan. With all the monsters defeated (minus the one that went to follow Anan, whom never appeared again in the movie), Hanuman makes a monkey dance, giving a kiss to the Ultras, and waves them good-bye as they fly back to the Land of Light in Nebula M78.
