Dark Ma-Orb

**Dark Ma-Orb** (ダークマオーブ *Dāku Ma Ōbu*?) is Ultraman Orb...one of them anyway...5000 years in the future.

I had to get this out of my system.

## History

Ultraman Card had to fight yet another bad guy who wanted to take over the universe, immediately blowing him to bits since he was getting tired of the endless fighting over the many millennia. In his dying moments however, he cursed Card and exclaimed that even he will fall to the darkness one day. After that, just before he was about to depart, someone approaches Card. They say that, 5000 years in the future, an alternate version of himself turned to the dark side and destroyed the Land of Light, becoming a reviled demon lord that will go on to erase the history of Ultraman. Card, disturbed by what he had heard, followed them to their world to see for himself.

Arriving at the Land of Light, he saw a black-and-gold older alternate version of himself decimating the resistance forces who were led by Ace, the Leo Brothers, 80, and Hikari. The rest of the veteran Ultras had already been slain, their essence harvested by Dark Ma-Orb to ~~make gimmicks out of them~~ obtain more powers.

After a first fight between New Ultraman Card (by then it is his go-to form) and Dark Ma-Orb, Card was badly beaten. During their battle, Dark Ma-Orb summoned dark versions of the Ultra Warriors he had previously defeated via their Ultra Fusion Cards, commanding them to finish off whatever was left of the resistance forces. Grabbing Card by the neck, he claimed that even Card will fall to the darkness one day. Reminded of the last time someone said that to him, Card denied him and tried to finish him off, but he was too weak. Dark Ma-Orb explained that if he doesn't want to go down the same path, Card should discard his sword. Running away, Dark Ma-Orb let Card live, but in fear of himself.

Kai Gurenai went to Earth and looked at the sunset over the ocean at a bay. Thinking about what had happened, and the fact that he was getting tired of the endless battles, he threw the Cardcalibur into the ocean. As he was about to leave, he heard someone clapping. The man was identical to him, but had a slightly spikier hairstyle and black coloured attire with gold trimmings. He introduced himself as Gai Kuroki, whom Kai recognized as Dark Ma-Orb, and a monster was summoned. Despite being reluctant to fight again, Kai heard the screams of people and sensed their fear. Figuring out that he would be unable to forgive himself for not doing anything, Kai used his Card Ring and Ultra Fusion Orbs to Fusion Up and fight. Seeing the people cheer for him, he was reminded of the reason he fights - to protect those who cannot protect themselves and to uphold peace and justice throughout the universe and beyond. The Cardcalibur came back to him and, using Card Origin, the monster was finished off.

Flying back to the Land of Light to challenge Dark Ma-Orb once again, Card still had a hard time fighting and went through many of his Fusion Up forms, aided by the spirits of the Ultra Warriors Dark Ma-Orb had slain. Card said to him that he had overcome his own darkness before and was ready to do it all over again to defeat him, and transformed into Card Beyond. Now, with no limits, Card was on the winning end of the battle. Using the ultimate power of New Ultraman Card, Dark Ma-Orb was finished off via the Final Origium Ray, dispersing into particles that bonded to his own Ultra Fusion Cards, restoring those he had killed in his mad rampage against the light. However, his belt floated through space, going to parts unknown...
