## Biography

### Fireman Disappeared into the Magma

A group of aliens, called the Sulpher Seijin, plan to spread radiation all over the earth by faking it as a volcano eruption. By using a dead volcano to start the fake eruption, they start their plan to lure in Fireman in an attempt to kill him with their Kaiju, King Zaura. After the dead volcano erupted, Misaki was sent to the Kyushu area where an odd electric wave was given off. Meanwhile, S.A.F tracks down a nun, who is really a disguised Sulpher Seijin, who is giving off odd electric waves as well when she boards onto a cruise ship.

When Misaki arrives at the volcano, he finds a kid looking for his father. As Misaki helps the boy look for his father, the dead volcano erupts again and Misaki’s device detects the electric waves coming from the bottom of the volcano.

Just then, the nun on the cruise ship turns on a switch and a dinosaur, King Zaura, rises out of the dead volcano. As it walks out of the volcano, Misaki leaves the boy in a safe spot and heads out to transform into Fireman.

The two giants clash against each other as King Zaura creates a hurricane in the area. The two seemed equally matched until King Zaura starts gaining the upper-hand and starts to beat Fireman.

Just then, Fighter Jets belonging to the defense force appear and they start shooting at King Zaura. With the Kaiju preoccupied, Fireman performs his Fire Flash and launches a fireball at King Zaura. Unfortunately, the Fire Flash has no effect as King Zaura was able to shrug off the attack.

Fireman continues fighting King Zaura until the nun has it retreat away in its hurricanes. With the Kaiju gone, Fireman can do nothing else besides retreat away to wait for King Zaura’s return.

Later, Misaki continues helping the boy look for his father, the nun appears in the area and uses her device to summon King Zaura again. Misaki gets the boy to run to safety and he transforms into Fireman again to fight against the Kaiju once more.

The two continue their earlier fight with the defense force shooting at the Kaiju as well. Like before, Fireman’s Fire Flash has no effect on King Zaura. Just then, the dead volcano erupts again and hot lava spews out of it. The boy tries to run away as the hot lava catches up to him, so Fireman acts quick rescues the boy. However, this allows King Zaura to knock Fireman down after he gets the boy to safety and the Kaiju starts beating him up as Fireman’s timer starts running out.

Despite the defense force’s attacks on the Kaiju, King Zaura continues beating down Fireman until the hero’s timer runs out and Fireman runs out of the energy. With Fireman out of energy, the flames from the lava engulf him and he falls down the ground, set ablaze.

After it’s victory over the hero, King Zaura destroys the fighter jets with its fire breath as Fireman’s corpse continues to burn in the flames.

Fortunately, Misaki’s body is brought back to the Aban’s kingdom where the old ruler uses his own life to resurrect Fireman with a new weapon.

### He Did It! Fire-Dash

Upon being resurrected, Misaki transforms back into Fireman to face King Zaura once more. However, once the nun sees that Fireman is alive again, she calls back King Zaura and the Kaiju uses its Aerokinesis to escape.

After SAF manage to locate the Sulpher Seijin’s secret base at the bottom of the volcano, Misaki fights some of them off outside while the rest drill into the base with the Moglian in order to destroy it. However, the Sulpher Seijin fly their secret base out of the volcano before the Moglian could reach them. Misaki then finds the nun who uses her device to summon King Zaura once again to face Fireman.

Misaki transforms into Fireman, now made into a new Fireman by the old leader’s life, and faces against King Zaura for a rematch. Fireman manages to match up against King Zaura’s strength until the kaiju uses its Aerokinesis to blow strong gusts of wind at him and manages to overpower the giant hero once againZ

The defense force and the Moglian try to help out Fireman only for King Zaura to uses its fire breath destroy the remaining fighter jets that the Sulpher Seijin didn’t destroy yet with their ship and knocks the Moglian down with its tail as it continues stomping Fireman to the ground.

Running out of time like last time, Fireman, not wanting the old leader’s sacrifice for him to be in vain, musters up enough strength to kick Kings Zaura down, gets back up, and tosses the Kaiju away.

With King Zaura getting beat, the nun teleports back to the Sulpher Seijin’s ship as they make their escape. Fortunately, Fireman uses his Eyebeam to destroy the ship and kill the Sulpher Seijin before they could escape.

As King Zaura gets back up, Fireman uses his new move given to him upon being resurrected, Fire Dash, where his body is engulfed with flames and he dashes straight at King Zaura, blowing the Kaiju up to pieces and putting an end to the Sulpher Seijin’s plans.
