Friends Left Behind
Kenta and Chigusa were walking at Tokyo when they witnessed Alien Magma wandering around. As they trailed the alien, Magma discovered them, and grew annoyed and chased the two until he decide to corrupt Chigusa's heart, forcing her to DarkLive with Zetton. Fortunately, Kenta snapped Chigusa out of it, angering Magma, who DarkLived himself into the monster. Chigusa and Kenta UltraLived into Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga. They transformed and forced Zetton away from Earth and onto the Moon, beginning their fight.
Tiga and Ultraman fire their beams at Zetton, but he vanished and attacked Ultraman from above. Ultraman blocked the attack, and Tiga managed to send Zetton flying with a kick, causing him to land heavily on the ground. Ultraman grabbed Zetton and Tiga charged up his Zepellion Ray, but before Tiga can fire, Magma sneakily escaped from inside Zetton and struck Ultraman from behind. Zetton and Magma attacked both Ultras, leaving their Color Timers blinking.
Zetton fired a fireball towards Earth, but Ultraman and Tiga used the last of their energies to take the attack upon themselves. As they asserted their determination to protect the Earth from Magma, who was preparing an attack, Ultraman Ginga appears in the nick of time and blocks Magma's blade with Ginga Saber. He then took the fight to Magma and Zetton. Overpowering the aliens, he ended the fight with a powered up Ginga Cross Shoot.
Tiga and Ultraman's time limits were almost up, and Chigusa and Kenta panic, not wanting to die in space. Ginga gets to them in time and returns them to Earth. As the two woke up, they thought the previous event was just a dream.
Mountain Peanuts
In this short story, Chigusa Kuno was part of the Mountain Peanuts team that protected Nosferu from UPG and Self Defense Force, assuming it was a harmless animal. She even battled an ambushing Jamila with water bombs and water cannons. After Nosferu went mad, she was granted the Ginga Light Spark and transformed into Detton. However, having no experience with this monster, she made her swap into Ultraman instead. Ultraman first used his Specium Ray for thirty seconds, but Nosferu survived and regenerated from the injury.
The Ultra quickly fired a Halo Slash which ended up cutting Nosferu's arms, though he still able to resist the injury. In a last ditch effort, Nosferu took the Mountain Peanuts leader as hostage but the other members freed him, allowing Ultraman to fire at his head with the Specium Light Bullet, followed by the Ultra Attack Ray and finally an Ultra Physic attack. Chigusa won, but fainted and awoke to find herself at the centre of a large, 10 m wide crater that resulted from her fight.
