Several red and silver giants stood in a room, awash with golden light from a thousand stars outside. Eight of them stood at the walls, though two in particular stood opposite a holographic projection. [url=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130903131849/ultra/images/0/00/Ultraman_Father.png]The taller of them[/url] held his hand out as the hologram shifted to a blue planet.

"Mobius... behold. For this is Earth. Sol-3, watched over by our successors in the Green Lantern Corps and its own heroes..."

The shorter giant, barely reaching to the other's chest, looked over the hologram. "It's home to the... humans, right?"

"Precisely. Many other races call Earth home, though. By interacting with them... I believe you will find something invaluable."

"Something invaluable?"

"Something that anyone who carries the title of Ultraman must possess... Something only YOU can discover. Just like Tiga and the Ultra Brothers did long ago."

"Then... then I can learn what it means to be Ultraman." Looking at the other giants in the room, Mobius returned his gaze to the horned giant and saluted. "...With your permission, Father of Ultra, I'll be off!"

The Father of Ultra nodded and held out a small scepter, an Ultra Brace forming on Mobius's arm. "First, you should speak with the officer we have permanently stationed on Earth- Ultraman Tiga. He and his friends will help you settle in. Now... Go, Mobius! Go to this wondrous planet, and discover that which only you can learn! Discover what it really means... to be an Ultraman!"

[b][u]Here and Now[/u][/b]
Mobius wished someone had told him Earth would be this cold. Even with the flight jacket that Tiga and the rest of GUTS had given him, he was shivering. On top of the jacket, he was using a human form. And snow! Snow was a bad sign on Planet Ultra. It usually meant that a Margodon or something was getting close... but at least he was almost to the location Tiga gave him. He had two rather large duffel bags with him- clothes that woman who always hung out with Tiga gave him, and most of his stuff from his room at the Ultra Garrison. Well, shrunk down, but it was still his collection of monster encyclopedias, movies, and some gifts his friends had given him before he came to Earth. It even had one of Galaxy's favorite action figures in it.

He pushed open the door and looked around, still shivering. The inside... was an acceptable cold. It didn't make him fear for his life. And... there was that smell. Like someone was cooking with sap. He liked that smell. But for now, he was going to put his stuff down an- Well, for now the rumbling in his stomach said he was going to get some of that cooked sap. Most of what he'd eaten with Tiga involved curry, and while that WAS delicious, he figured it would be best to get used to a lot of earth cuisine. A lot of aliens ate tree sap, so this would probably prove a tasty delicacy. With that, Mobius entered the kitchen and looked at the bottle of syrup, picking it up and smelling it... before starting to drink straight from the bottle.
