Rizanto Episode 1 Advent of Herodom

Disclaimer: There is none, you knew what you were in for when you saw who was writing this.

## Beginning

In space a giant battle was occurring. A large monster about 50 meters with bumpy green skin and sharp teeth was roaring into the expansive void. It had a saurian build and in addition it seemed to have a long prehensile tail at the end.

Fighting it was a hero of light, a paragon of justice: Ultraman. The original giant to protect Earth was now wrestling with the beast in space, quite violently in fact. With arms locked around the monster’s neck, surely he would be able to pull through.

His grip tightened, causing the monster to use its tail to sharply whip Ultraman in the back and had him losing hold of the kaiju’s neck.

He grunted as the monster took full advantage and shot a powerful red beam that quickly sent the Ultra shooting back into open space. The monster then looked to the planet they were fighting near: Earth.

At the Land of Light, Zero and Ultraseven were both talking to each other near the headquarters of the intergalactic defense force. Their conversation was however quickly interrupted by Ultraman flying in and landing on the ground. He managed to cause a minor dent in the pristine ground as his back was smoking.

“What happened to you”, said Zero.

“A monster…..it was…..very powerful…..Headed towards Earth.”

“I see….”

Seven spoke up.

“We must hold a meeting immediately.”

They were about to walk away, but they noticed Ultraman wouldn’t move.

“Uh….Are you alright….”, asked Zero.

“I-I think I need help moving.”

“We’ll call Jack to use the Ultra-Stretcher”, said Seven.

“Can I get the Ultra-Cup Holders too?”

“Of course….”

All 11 Ultra Brothers and Father of Ultra were now assembled in a large council room. Ultraman himself was in a stretcher, being forced to lean up.

“Alright”, said Father of Ultra. “The space monster Reptogon is en route to Earth as we speak. Now, we must send a rookie to join our ranks given it seems strong enough to be a good starting point.”

Ultraman quietly groaned in pain. Zoffy raised a hand.

“Zoffy, you have something to say?”

“If I may Ultra Father, but with all do respect…..”

“The rookies are awful”, finished Taro. “Most of them only ask to fight monsters like C.O.V. and Gubila in the simulators, beg for Z Risers, beg for Ultra Capsules, and some even run off to planets hoping to get elemental powers.”

“The New Generation Heroes, for all the good they’ve done, have ushered in a new era of ‘main character syndrome’” said 80.

Leo clenched his fist.

“Earth must be protected someway, if I have to go there myself, I will!”

Astra silently nodded.

“I understand how strongly you feel about this brother Leo, but you know well that if we head to Earth currently, the Absolutians will strike while we’re gone”, countered Jack.

“He’s right, there’s no doubt in my mind that a new age of monsters could begin”, agreed Seven. “We need someone who can be there long term.”

“Maybe one of the New Generation Heroes can help”, suggested Hikari.

“Unfortunately, most of them are still out hunting devil splinters….not to mention another threat brewing in the M-36 Nebula”, replied Ace.

“I know who can fill in” said Mebius confidently.

Everyone looked towards him.

“Who is it”, asked Zoffy. “Is it perhaps….Bushido?”

“No.”

“Thank goodness….”

“I already called them here before the meeting started. I’m really confident in their ability.”

“Really….”, Ultraman uttered in a tired voice.

“Yes.”

“What is their name”, asked Father of Ultra.

“Rizanto….”, Mebius said simply. Causing everyone in the room to flatly stare at him, as the doors flung to the council room flew open.

All the Ultra Brothers looked to see a primarily red Ultra standing at 52 Meters in height. He had bands of silver covering his arms, legs, and back that were broken up by small bits of black. On his chest were metallic and golden protectors. He also had a face resembling Regulus somewhat and even had a forehead crystal.

“Rizanto here has proven capable enough to defend Earth”, said Mebius. “Out of all the other candidates, I have faith in him.”

“I am Rizanto! Ultraman Rizanto!!! I will defend Earth with allll of my power!!!!”, the newcomer loudly proclaimed while striking a pose.

“Menacing…..”, Ultraman muttered.

“Wait a minute….Mebius, he is the most capable trainee”, asked Seven.

Mebius nodded.

(“Earth is done for….”)

There was an awkward silence in the room. Seven looked around, all the others present seemed to be acting strange.

“What?”

“We can use telepathy…..we heard what you said”, answered Taro.

Seven cleared his throat and apologized.

“Anyways, Rizanto”, started Father of Ultra. This prompted Rizanto to kneel while he spoke.

“You are going to head to Earth now….However, given Reptogon managed to trigger Ultraman’s back pain, you must be equipped with a weapon before you leave. Not only will you need it to beat it, but also to merge with a-“

Rizanto sprung up and shouted.

“Yes!!!!! Yes!!!!! Let’s gooooo!!!!!!”

He recomposed himself immediately after realizing what he just did, sitting down criss-cross applesauce(yum).

“Go on”, he said in a deeper voice.

“Yes quite”, continued the Ultra Father. “Hikari, please provide Rizanto with a device to help him on Earth.”

Hikari nodded and created a travel sphere, causing it to hit Rizanto.

Rizanto looked around the yellow field until he looked down at his left arm and saw it. It was seemingly a mix of the Ultra Bracelet and the Mebius Brace. It was gold with some aspects of black on it.

He looked up and saw Hikari, Mebius, and Taro, who were all standing directly in front of him. All the other Ultras were visible and standing back….barring Ultraman, still in his Ultra-Stretcher.

Rizanto looked at Hikari.

“W-What is this?”

“Did you expect something like a Z Riser”, he retorted, chuckling.

“Yeah…..kind of….”

“Well, maybe I’ll give you one later…. Who knows?”

Rizanto perked up.

“Alright, so what is this thing exactly?”

“That is the Ultra-Mitten…..With it, you can use numerous special powers and abilities.”

“Like?”

“Like whatever the writer comes up with on discord”, answered Taro.

“I see.”

Rizanto was about to leave when Mebius spoke.

“Going to Earth can truly be a spectacular experience….You’ll never forget it, trust me….”

“I’ll keep that in mind. I won’t let any of you down and most importantly, I’ll stop by Planet Blizzard and get Mr. Man an ice pack.”

“Call me Lipia”, said Ultraman from the Ultra-Stretcher. “Mr. Man was my father’s name…”

“What was your mother’s name?”

“Himeko.”

“Huh….”

Rizanto took one last look and nodded to the Ultras, who all nodded back. Ultraman did need help from Seven to nod though. With that, Rizanto flew off.

## Earth

It was a sunny day in Hakaikano City. It was perfectly normal and cool, but something even cooler was present there as well. That being the base of the defense team LEGACY(Large Entity Godzilla-type Attacking Combative Yesmen).

The base looked similar to STORAGE’s though the building was a bright yellow with pink lines running along it. Inside, the walls were gray and it had a futuristic look to it.

Walking in the base, was a young man with a strong jawline and…..quite beautiful blue eyes. And those….toned high definition- I mean, there was also the uniform he was wearing. He also had a futuristic pistol holstered on his right hip.

He walked into what seemed to be a control room and was greeted by three people already present there. One a woman in the same uniform with short black hair, half asleep. Another was a bit on the bigger side as well as having brown hair. He wore a larger version of the uniform. And the final person was an older man with glasses in the same uniform with minor modifications, like the shoulder pads being black.

The two men were sat at a large round table while the woman was sitting in front of a terminal. The older man spun around in his chair to see the protag- young man.

He waved at him.

“Hey, Boutaro, glad you’re here!”

The young man nodded in response.

“I’m glad I could make it sir….”

He looked around the room. The larger man also sat at the table seemed to be eating. He looked back at the Captain.

“Anything we’re doing today, Captain?”

He shook his head and kicked back.

“Ahhhh, not at all. We haven’t had a monster attack in over 4 years….I doubt our streak would be broken now….”

“Huh, I forgot.”

“Of course you would forget”, said the woman. “You’re just new after all.”

“It’s not my fault that I want to be a hero! That’s why I joined this team. Not to sit around all day, Kiriko.”

“The people don’t need heroes, they need insurance…..And we’re their insurance.”

The larger man kept digging into his meal.

“Well….If no monsters are showing up, then why are we still getting paid?”

The larger man stopped eating and looked at Boutaro.

“Because”, he started. “What if there’s a natural disaster or something?”

“Yeah Mendou, but, what’s stopping them from disbanding us like they did with the organization before us?”

“Uhhhh…..”

The Captain sighed.

“Nonsense! As if they would just go and disband us! They’re more likely to cut our pay….”

Just then, a man came on the screen of the large monitor in the room. He was seemingly had silver hair, glasses, and wore a business suit with a pin of LEGACY on his chest.

Everyone immediately got into shape and looked like professionals, standing at attention.

“M-Mr. Kabuki…”, said the Captain. “I thought you were about to retire this year.”

“Nope, I actually called here after a board meeting with LEGACY higher ups, and it seems that LEGACY Japan hasn’t been doing much”, said Kabuki plainly.

“Er, well there may have not been a monster attack in a few years but, that’s been the case worldwide, no?”

“LEGACY America has been helping against Florida men, LEGACY Britain has been dealing with Roadmen, LEGACY Australia deals with well….everything there. Even LEGACY China pitches in with all of their generous filming sights for training videos.”

“Come on, that’s a good thing we don’t have to deal with much over here- With all due respect of course!”

Kabuki cleared his throat.

“Yes well, people obviously want their tax dollars to go to more pressing matters. So, we may be doing some cuts budget-wise for your side of things.”

“I see….Where will the cuts go?”

Kabuki stroked his chin.

“We’re not quite sure yet. I think that we’d might have to refit some of your LEGACY Midgers to be less combative, remove some technology, halt projects, oh and of course either cutting pay or firing one of your members.”

Everyone in the base started internally screaming.

“I hope when it comes to that you know what to do, Soreo.”

“I do sir”, replied the Captain. “We’ll conduct this in a fair way that involves everyone.”

The three other members eyed each other.

(“I can’t be fired, not when I need to protect everyone…..Maybe me and Mendou can vote Kiriko out.”)

Kiriko stared at Mendou.

(“Just what is he cooking? No matter, I can find some way to convince him so that we can vote out that boy…..”)

Mendou stared blankly into space.

(“I wonder why Cats always seem to react funny to words. They know, but they don’t know. I wonder how cats would react to The Lion King? I should show my cat that movie sometime…. But what if that inspires my cat to organize a coup against me….”)

Kabuki smiled.

“That’s good to hear, I’ll be following up later on today about what to do next.”

The Soreo nodded as Kabuki seemingly pressed a button to disconnect….but he didn’t, his camera was still on.

“Uh….Mr. Kabuki”, said Soreo nervously.

However, seeming to not hear him, Mr. Kabuki stood up from his chair, and while wearing a business suit, it turned out he was only in boxers. Everyone in the room recoiled back in horror as Mr. Kabuki yawned.

“Alright, time to head off to the MBUC ball, maybe I can link up with Suou again…..”

He sighed.

“Oh how I miss my sweet-sweet neko l-“

“Mr. Kabuki!!!”, shouted Soreo.

This caused Kabuki to reply with ‘huh’ before looking down, noticing that the LEGACY team was still there. Soreo covered his mouth with his fist.

“You never left the call….”, he continued meekly.

Kabuki nodded.

“I see. Uhhhh, agree never speak of this again?”

“Agreed”, said everyone in unison. Kabuki then hung up the call.

Kiriko held up her finger while covering her mouth.

“Alright, before anything else, let me go real quick.”

“I second that”, said Boutaro.

“I agree”, said Mendou.

“Motioned carried. Team LEGACY! Operation vomit and repress what we just saw today: Go!!!”

“Yes si-“ Before they could finish they covered their mouths, as their faces turned green. They then all ran down the hallway, presumably to the bathroom.

As they were, a man in a lab coat came walking out of a door that was at the far right of the room. He seemed to be in his late 20s. He had a thinner build and wore large spectacles that made his eyes look bigger. He had a cup of coffee in his hand as he looked around.

“Weird….where are they all?”

He shrugged.

All of a sudden, an alarm started to go off throughout the base, but the man continued to sip from his cup.

“Not my fault if they miss out on the alarm….just means more opportunities for me…..”

## Monster Arrival

Reptogon landed into the city, causing an immediate gust of wind to blow by as debris and small objects flung into the air. It roared while the people started to scream and run away. Those in cars tried to drive in the opposite direction of the beast, though they occasionally crashed into each other and sometimes buildings as well.

Reptogon looked down and fired a powerful red bean from his mouth; numerous buildings were eradicated in wake of the bean's detonation. As explosions rang out surrounding the monster, a few remaining pedestrians and onlookers started to record the beast's rampage. As it was stomping through the concrete jungle, something caught its eye. A tall-ish apartment building seemingly had something inside that intrigued it. Reptogon snorted before leaning in and pressing its eye against the window of the apartment. It looked at the interior and did a monsterly gasp.

It was a TV, showing a Shiba Dog running around in a backyard. The monster quickly halted its rampage and watched the footage diligently, entranced by what it saw. As it was distracted, numerous military tanks rolled towards Reptogon, a few soldiers on the ground as well. As the army was advancing, a stern looking military commander watched back from afar using binoculars. He lowered them as he turned to what seemed to be his second-in command. A soldier ran up to him as he was talking with the second-in command about battle strategies.

"Sir! We've received word that the monster is distracted by the Television inside of the apartment complex!"

The Commander paused for a moment, thinking.

"Alright......open fire!"

"Yes sir! We'll start to engage the monst-"

"No you dolt! The apartment!"

The soldier who was about to run back to where the rest of the army was turned back around.

"The.....what?"

"You heard me. Open fire on the apartment!"

"W-Why?"

"Are you questioning my military thinking?!"

The soldier started to sweat.

"Umm....no sir!" He stood at attention. "I am only questioning your common sense, sir!"

The commander threw the binoculars he was holding to the ground and walked up to the solider, getting closer to him.

"Listen.....alright, when I say you go right, you go right. When I say you go left, you go left."

The commander started to do various poses as he spoke.

"When I say 'Where there is life', you say 'there is a roar of justice'!!!!"

He stopped posing and raised his hands in the air.

"When I say 'cyclone', you say 'joker!'"

He got in the soldier's face, grabbing him by the collar.

"Now.....trust my judgement!!!!!"

The soldier nervously nodded.

"Y-Yes sir! Of course sir!"

He took a radio out of his pocket and spoke into it.

"Open fire on the apartment building", the soldier said hastily.

"Open fire on what now", said a soldier on the other end.

"JUST DO IT!"

"Alright, alright."

With the word given, the tanks aimed at the apartment and opened fire on it, specifically aiming towards the top. As the shells burst through the building, most of it blew out in a powerful explosion. Debris, shattered glass, and miscellaneous items blasted into Reptogon's face and caused the monster to stumble back while covering its eyes. As it was caught off guard, it swung its tail wildly around which led to a few tanks and people getting slapped around. Some flew into nearby windows, others were knocked into full on buildings. The army changed their target from the apartment to the monster itself, barraging it with gunfire and sustained blasts from their tanks.

The monster's 'voice' turned hoarse and dry, the roars were now starting to sound more and more shrill as it was pelted with ammunition from both infantry and artillery all the same. Soon military jets came flying in and started to shoot Reptogon as well. From the land and the sky, Reptogon was assaulted with bullets, shells, and missiles from multiple angles.

In its head, the monster could only think of one thing. The Shiba Inu running around. That wholesome scene ruined by the military and their annoying weapons. Its eyes lit up a bright red as it spun around to where the majority of the army's forces were. It arched its head back and shot a spiraling red energy beam from its eyes, causing a large wave of energy to demolish the tanks and soldiers caught in the way. The effect also caused a chain explosion, which caused much more damage to nearby buildings that lit up in flames even if the beam didn't touch them. When all was said and done, a large portion of the area wasn't doing too good to say the least. Some of the aircraft tried to pull back to, but a red energy bean was soon shot at them, eliminating at least half of the squadron.

Back at where the commander was, he stood there agast as he saw the creature. The soldier who he was just pressing earlier had a similar expression, which soon turned to anger.

"You....you said to open fire on it...."

He turned to see the commander with a suitcase in hand. The second-in command was stuffing a bunch of shirts and clothing in his as well. The soldier pointed at his superior.

"YOU DID THIS!"

"Yu? Yu the actor best known for the drama We Best Love?"

The soldier clenched his fists.

"You told me to give the order!!!! And look what happened?! Now even more people are no doubt dead and we-"

"Wii? Nah, I prefer the Switch", replied the commander, now blowing a whistle for a taxi that soon came. The Second-in command was already getting into the vehicle as the soldier's face turned red.

"And that's what you're gonna do? Just leave and not accept responsibility?!"

".....You can come too, unless you want to get blamed.....?"

The soldier sighed.

"Alright.....you know what, fine."

He got into the cab with the Commander. As they were buckling up their seat belts, the Commander looked at the soldier.

"Do you wanna stop by your house and get your stuff or...?"

"No need, let's just go already."

The Commander nodded and he looked at the cab driver.

"Alright, take us to the airport, we're heading to China!"

"Okay", said the cab driver. As they started to drive away the monster continued its rampage. At one point, it arched its head back and roared into the sky as the flames started to flare up, creating a cool shot, at least, if someone were there to record or take a picture of it.

## Fight Fight Fight

In the LEGACY base, the members were now all assembled in the main room as the monitor showed Reptogon rampaging viciously. The three apart from the Soreo and the man in the lab coat were lined up at attention. Soreo paced around, pondering his next course of action. He stroked his chin as everyone in the room waited in anticipation. Suddenly, he raised his finger like he was going to speak, but quickly stopped himself. The amount of strategies in his head going on must've been unreal. What was the Captain planning? How would it be executed?

Finally, after more thinking, the Captain spoke.

"So, it seems that the monster from space is wreaking havoc across the city." He slammed his fist into his palm. "I have a plan!"

He pointed at Boutaro, Mendou, and Kiriko.

"Boutaro! You will be fighting in the air with Mendou in the LEGACY Midgers! Me and Kiriko will attack from the ground."

They saluted him.

"Roger", the three of them said in unison.

He turned to the man in the labcoat.

"Ichigo! I want the LEGACY Midgers stocked with enough S.H.I.L.L. Gas to take out five herds of Elephants!"

Ichigo sipped some coffee before snapping his fingers.

"You got it."

"Team LEGACY: Operation S.H.I.L.L is a go!"

"Right", everyone else shouted.

In the city, Reptogon was still rampaging as usual, when all of a sudden, two large ships that were red and white zoomed across the sky, heading towards the beast. It snarled at the new contenders and immediately started rapid firing smaller versions of the large energy beans it had been using before from its mouth. The ships in question started to dodge and maneuver out of the way with little difficulty. One ship was seemingly larger and had a bulkier hull, while another was more slender looking. The slender looking one was piloted by Boutaro, the other piloted by Mendou. They started to open fire on Reptogon, shooting blue lasers at the beast from the guns mounted on the ships.

The attacks connected and sparks flew off of the annoyed monster as they flew by it. The beast, clearly being irritated with the military presence roared at its opponents and dug its claws into the ground, pulling out clumps of concrete and dirt. It was just about to throw them at the LEGACY Midgers, when all of a sudden, two green energy beams struck its hands. This caused the beast to drop all of the stuff it had accumulated in its hands, the only thing being dust and rising smoke from the affected area. It looked down to see the source of the attacks, only to find that it came from two humans on the ground in the LEGACY uniform, only they now had helmets on.

It was Soreo and Kiriko, the former of which quickly looking down at a wrist watch, seemingly a communicator.

"Alright! Boutaro, Mendou! Engage the S.H.I.L.L Gas before it fries us!!!!"

"Right", they both responded.

Reptogon was going to fire an energy wave from its eyes, when all of a sudden, it noticed the LEGACY Midgers flying back for another round.

In his cockpit, Boutaro pulled back a switch before pressing a big red button to the side.

"Midger: Engage! Full Mid: Full S.H.I.L.L.!"

Mendou did he same.

"Midger: Engage! Full Mid: Full S.H.I.L.L.!"

Soon, two large canisters dropped from the ships and hit the ground with a thud, causing a great deal of smoke to blow through. Kiriko and Soreo ran back a bit to a safe distance as this happened. When the smoke cleared, the monster looked down at the canisters and cocked its head. It tried sniffing them, inspecting to see what they could possibly be. That was when, all of a sudden they started to emanate a bright glow that startled Reptogon and caused the creature to jolt back a fair bit.

As the light started to fade, a large hologram of three entities all about 60 meters came to life. The first one had a dragon-like motif and seemed to be red. The second was primarily gray and had 4 horns sticking out from head, resembling the tines of fine cutlery. The third had a unique design unlike any other, really stand out from the previous two. But it did seem to look 'younger' than its other counterparts. They all took out large books that each had big letters on the pages. In order appearance, they read "L, T, G v U".

In loud, almost booming voices, they all shouted "READ!!!!!!!" As they did so, a large clump of gas quickly hit Reptogon in the face, overwhelming the beast's senses and causing it to fall to the ground with a loud thud. The hologram dissipated as the monster was now slumped over, and seemingly defeated.

On the ground, Soreo jumped and cheered.

"Alright! I knew that would work."

Meanwhile, Kiriko had laid out a picnic blanket and was quietly reading a magazine, whilst also unenthusiastically pumping her fist in the air.

"Maybe we won't need those budget cuts after all", laughed Mendou.

"Yeah, none of us will have to be fired", exclaimed Boutaro happily.

"Hahahhahahaha......That caused over 50 Billion Yen to build......we probably could've only used that once.....we've lost more money if anything.....", said Soreo.

"Oh cheer up Cap, we can always print more money, that'll make everything better", suggested Boutaro.

Everyone, even Kiriko started to laugh.

"Haha, well, I guess everything sorts itself out in the end anyway, huh...."

Just then, a red beam shot out and struck Boutaro's ship, causing it to crash into a nearby building. Everyone slowly turned to see Reptogon was now standing up again and seemingly more angry than ever. It growled as it lunged its neck forward and shot a large energy bean, hitting Mendou's ship and causing it to slam into a nearby bakery.

"Oh.....no.....", said Soreo, gravely.

From the LEGACY base, Ichigo gasped.

"Captain! The kaiju must've absorbed the shillium, reading the molecules and gaining more power!!!!"

"Oh......Fuddruckers....."

"Wait, like the American food chain, sir?"

The beast turned its attention to Soreo, smoke emanating from its maw.

"Alright Kiriko", started Soreo, reaching for his blaster. "We need to-"

He looked to where he thought Kiriko was, and she was gone.

"Oh.....oh you've got to be kidding me."

The monster ran forward and opened its mouth, about to swallow the captain of LEGACY. Of all the things racing through his mind at the time, one thing was ever present.

("This is it.....this is how I die......I haven't even so much as pre ordered Budokai Tenkaichi 4, and I'm already dead.....")

There was now darkness. The darkness of evil, despair, and death. But in that darkness, a small light appeared. A light that slowly expanded, growing in size until the darkness was completely overwhelmed. The darkness started to fight back, but it was no use. For all of the darkness' attempts to contain it, the light would not let itself lose, and in stark contrast to the original intention.....darkness only further empowered and provoked the light's growth.

As the light grew, soon the light sparked and morphed into something greater. That light was none other, than the hero of justice, purveyor of hope, Ultraman Rizanto. The Ultra flexed as Reptogon stumbled back in confusion. Smoke rose from the damaged city as the hero charged towards Reptogon and began hitting the beast with various punches and kicks to the face. However, before he could push Reptogon any further back, Rizanto was met with a powerful stream of energy hitting him in the chest directly. The Ultra flailed his arms helplessly as the attack sent him into a nearby sushi place. Upon looking inside, Rizanto noticed that there was some wasabi still there.....just covered in a bit of rubble. The Ultra carefully picked up the bowl and place it gently on the ground.

Reptogon started kicking the ground, in preparation to charge towards Rizanto. The young Ultra swung his arms in the air before locking his wrists together. He then pushed both his hands outward, shooting a white beam that hit the bowl of wasabi directly. The bowl started to grow bigger and bigger, until it was around 40 meters. The kaiju in reaction to this, stopped charging as Rizanto threw up the ok sign. It slowly walked towards the bowl, sniffing it briefly before licking it for a bit. After a while, it suddenly stopped. It looked up at Rizanto, who folded his arms and seemingly was laughing. Though these laughs echoed given how big he was. Reptogon's face suddenly turned red as the monster sprung back and landed on its tail, which it used to bounce a few meters back and hit the ground. It opened its mouth and roared in agony as fire shot out of it.

The Ultra leapt into the air before touching down on the ground next to Reptogon. He slowly lifted up the kaiju when it stopped breathing fire(though smoke was still coming from its mouth), and started to throw multiple jabs, right hooks, and left hooks at the beast. It ended the combo by grabbing the creature by the back and kneeing it in the stomach. This allowed him to follow up with a kick; but Reptogon actually managed to catch his leg and used the opportunity to flip the Ultra on his back.

While Rizanto was on the ground, the monster took advantage and quickly jumped on him. Constantly smacking, slapping, and even at one point, biting him. In that last instance, Rizanto had enough and gave Reptogon an elbow in the face. This caused the two to get into a wrestling match, constantly switching positions and holds with one not seeming to have any sort of lead.

In the end, Reptogon was holding Rizanto by the leg while sitting on his back, constantly twisting his ankle. Rizanto was smacking the ground in a vain attempt to keep fighting. The monster used a collection of roars and snarls to convey the following message.

'You suck, get good at fighting. That's why I bodybagged your big brother'. The kaiju then proceeded to shoot an energy bean at Rizanto's feet, causing his color timer to go off. As it beeped and booped faster and faster, Rizanto's body started to glow. That was when a bright light caused Reptogon to get sent back as Rizanto slowly got up.

"I'll have you know, my name is Rizanto! Ultraman Rizanto! And I swore to protect this Earth in the stead of my brothers!!!!"

He overlapped his hands, the one with the Ultra-Mitten being on the bottom. He then spread his arms apart before putting his hands in the + position, shooting a golden beam that hit Reptogon head on.

"Rizzium Beam!!!!!"

With that, the monster fell back, and promptly exploded.

The sun started to set for some reason as Rizanto looked to the sky before flying off. Earth seems to have a new protector now, and whether or not he stands to be as great as his predecessors he's here now.....and that's what matters.

## Next Time

With LEGACY's funding now back in place, everything seems good. However, before they can claim this money, they have to get to the bottom of who Rizanto is.....They try to find out who he is and where he came from, when all of a sudden, a free-to-use Ultra-Fan monster appears!!!!! Can they defeat the beast and claim their money??!?!?!?!! Find out next time on Ultraman Rizanto Episode 2 What is Ultraman?!
