## History

### Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga

*"At last we've made it this far! With the power of the Eternity Core...we'll remake the universe into a world only for our clan of darkness! We'll erase the humans who live blindly under the light!"*
―Carmeara's objectives after reaching the Eternity Core
Carmeara, with the other Giants of Darkness, arrived on Earth 30 million years ago to locate the Eternity Core, fighting against Yuzare directly or by controlling Dark Monsters. Trigger Dark captured Yuzare and used her to open the gate towards the Eternity Core, allowing the other Giants of Darkness to enter. However, Kengo Manaka convinced Trigger Dark to turn to the light, becoming Ultraman Trigger, who fought the Giants of Darkness with the help of Yuzare and the power of the Eternity Core. They were petrified into stone statues, and were left to float through the universe.

*"So you absorbed a human and resurrected just to see me? How passionate of you!"*
―Carmeara's reunion with Trigger on Mars
30 million years late, in the present day, Carmeara reawakened when she was hit by a floating asteroid, unsealing her. She then went to Mars and commanded Golba to attack the settlement and the Ultra-Ancient ruins discovered there. Carmeara entered the ruins, wanting to have her revenge against Trigger, attacking Kengo Manaka in the process. He transformed into light and became one with Trigger, defeating Golba and making Carmeara retreat. [*Connection of Light*]

Soon after, Carmeara located Darrgon's statue and awakened him with her Carmeara Whip, informing him of Trigger's return. [*Leap to the future*] She and Darrgon then went to pick up Hudram after his fight with Trigger, having to restrain him in the process. With the three Giants of Darkness reunited, they continued their quest to find the Eternity Core. [*The Ultra-Ancient Light and Darkness*]

After repeated monster attacks, Carmeara decided to attack Trigger directly, managing to perform her Curse of Darkness on him that turned him back into Trigger Dark. [*The Encounter of Light and Darkess*] However, after his ordeal in the past, Kengo returned to the future, causing the Giants of Darkness to somehow remember that he was the one who turned Trigger to the light in the first place. The Giants of Darkness attack Kengo, now transformed into Ultraman Trigger, and had the upper hand until Yuzare's spirit emerged from within Yuna and granted Trigger a fragment of the Eternity Core, allowing him to transform into Glitter Trigger Eternity. He forced the Giants of Darkness to retreat after firing his Glitter Zeperion Beam at them, and then finished off Trigger Dark. After this incident, she started to develop a grudge against Kengo and saw the new Trigger Dark as a mere impostor. [*The 30 Million Year Miracle*]

When the Absolutians Absolute Diavolo and Absolute Tartarus arrived on this dimension's Earth seeking the Eternity Core, they harassed the Giants of Darkness and forced them to stand down or be eliminated. Assessing that they cannot defeat the Absolutians, the Giants of Darkness reluctantly give in to them. [*The Golden Threat*] However, Carmeara would not stand for this, and assumed a human form to perform some of her own investigations. Discovering GUTS-Select's plan to absorb Diavolo's energy to empower the Nursedessei's Battle Mode, she and the other Giants of Darkness decide to help them against their common enemy by restraining Diavolo during the energy absorption process, before disappearing. [*Operation Dragon*] She then attempted to attack Trigger and Trigger Dark during Metsu-Orochi's rampage, defeating Trigger Dark while getting hurt in the process. Darrgon then came and stopped Carmeara before she could fight Trigger, advising her to retreat as Trigger had human allies on his side that were not to be underestimated. [*Raging Feast*]

A Kyriel came to the Earth and unleashed the Morpheus R cosmic waves, which showed the Giants of Darkness illusions of their greatest desires. Carmeara longed to see the Trigger she knew again, Darrgon wanted Yuna's affection and Hudram desired to be the leader of the trio. [*Smile Operation No.1*] The effects of Morpheus R soon wore off, and Hudram started to accuse Carmeara of being incompetent as a leader, starting a fight between them despite Darrgon's efforts to keep them together. With that, the unity between the Giants of Darkness fell apart, and Hudram began acting on his own. [*What Makes a Savior*]

For his final plan, Hudram called the other two Giants of Darkness to their usual hideout, and then had them binded so that he can take the Eternity Core for himself. Carmeara escaped her bindings, and then confronted Hudram after he lost to Ignis. Having enough of him, Carmeara killed Hudram by disintegrating his body and stealing his power of darkness, making her more powerful. [*Last Game*] Darrgon then learned of what happened to Hudram and wanted to leave Carmeara after being disgusted by her behavior. She responded by using her Curse of Darkness on him to control his mind and made Darrgon go on a rampage in the city until he regained his consciousness. Carmeara then interrupted Darrgon's duel against Trigger, reactivating the curse and making Darrgon hunt down Yuna once more. She later stepped into the battlefield to fight Glitter Trigger Eternity, stalling him from helping Darrgon and managed to overwhelm him. Darrgon was destroyed by GUTS-Select and Carmeara took his remaining power of darkness, becoming even more powerful and allowed her to defeat Trigger. She then took Yuna and made her open the way to the Eternity Core.

*"At last, the power of the Eternity Core is mine! This is the power of the Eternity Core! With this power, I can become a god!"*
―Carmeara receives the Eternity Core's powerHaving absorbed both her former comrades' power of darkness and making her way to the Eternity Core, Carmeara finally completed her objective after 30 million years. She touched the Eternity Core and polluted it with her darkness while its energy filled her. Carmeara's body tore itself apart as she transformed into the Evil God Megalothor, the Ruler of Shadows that would plunge the world into darkness. [*My Friend*] However, the darkness that polluted the Eternity Core had destabilized it and rendered it out of control, endangering the Earth and the universe. Megalothor attempted to kill Yuna to dispose of her, but she was protected by Akito and Trigger. Carmeara, still within Megalothor, had become hell-bent on getting rid of Kengo and attacked Trigger until Ignis arrived, fighting Megalothor with Kengo. They blasted at Megalothor with their finisher beams, but she still survived. She attempted to absorb Trigger Dark and spread her darkness around the world. When Kengo retreated back into the Nursedessei, Carmeara became determined to hunt him down and arrived in the city in a dark tornado, with Megalothor now evolved into its second form. [*The Ruler of Shadows*] Trigger and Trigger Dark stand up against Megalothor once again, but they are overpowered. The Eternity Core's increasing instability caused its energy to erupt from the ground, which Trigger made use of by transforming into Glitter Trigger Eternity to harness the excess power into his attacks and caused a giant explosion upon reacting with Megalothor's darkness. Still, it failed to defeat the Evil God.
From the results of the previous battle, Kengo, Ignis and GUTS-Select concluded that a power equal to Megalothor's dark and light powers from the Eternity Core was required in order to defeat the monster. This led to the formation of Trigger Truth when Ignis gave Trigger Dark's power back to Kengo, mixing light and darkness into a single form as Megalothor was lured out to sea to begin the operation while Yuna focused on gathering the Eternity Core's energy into the Nursedessei. Trigger Truth fought against Megalothor and, upon discovering Yuna's interference, Carmeara created copies of Darrgon and Hudram to attack GUTS-Select, who fended them off while Yuna completed her task. Megalothor's power overwhelmed Trigger, whose Color Timer began to blink, and he sank to the bottom of Tokyo Bay.

*"That's the light....It's very warm..."*
