Ultraman Alpha: Second contact arc

Second contact

In a faraway section of the universe...

"I won't let you go away!"

A ball of light is travelling through the vast space, seemingly chasing an unknown creature. The creature, brown and black in colour and spherical in shape swiftly travels through the space, avoiding any incoming meteoroids while also leaving it's preparator in a hard time.

"This is bad. If I can't capture it, it will crash down on another planet with intelligent lifeforms! I need to be faster!"

The sphere of light increases its speed in an attempt to catch up with the creature. And so, their long chase begins.

Meanwhile, at the Milky way galaxy...
Planet Earth

"Thank you for helping with this month's groceries, Shinichi!"

"It's nothing, granny!"

At the home of an elderly woman, a young man by the name Shinichi helps the elderly woman unload her groceries goods at her front door. After she unlock her house's door, the young man proceed to carry all of the groceries to her kitchen, and help her put each items on their right place. As they're placing the items, Shinichi ask the elderly woman a question.

"Um, granny... Are you sure you don't want to move to the city and live with us? Because y'know, Kaiju starts to appear a lot more around these parts and, mom's worried about you."

"Don't you worry, this old woman know how to take care of herself. And if I moved to the city, then there will be no one to attend this house, the place where me, your late grandfather, your mother and her siblings grew up and live in."

The elderly woman, Shinichi's grandmother provides several reasons why she won't move to the city, claiming that there would be no one to take care of the historic house if she's not living in it. She further adds,

"Besides, the TPO is there to protect us right? They never failed to neutralize the Kaiju's threat eversince 20 years ago. So tell your mother that I'll be fine just staying here."

The elderly woman assured her grandson that she will be fine living in the old house located in the countryside, one of the many areas protected by TPO Japan branch. Shinichi feels worry at first, but he trust his grandmother's words.

"Well, that's the last one to put on the shelf. Anything more to do, granny?" Shinichi ask his grandmother another question regarding if there's anything left to help.

"No, that's all. Thank, Shinichi."

"I see. Then, I'll be on my way. See you soon, granny!"

Shinichi went to the front door, ready to leave the house. It is at that moment his grandmother told him to wait for a few minutes and she went to her bedroom. After a while, his grandmother comes back downstairs and present her grandson with something that holds an importance to herself.

"Wait, isn't this...."

"Yes, it's your late grandfather's pendant. He got it from his father, and his father's father, so on and on. It's an inheritance for the first born child to inherit the pendant, but your mother refuses it. So, I'm giving it to you, the firstborn grandchild."

"But are you sure? I'm sure this pendant holds a lot of memories of grandpa. And, you're giving it to me?"

The elderly woman takes her grandson's hand and open his palm, putting the pendant on it and covers them with both of her hand. She gives a reassuring smile.

"It's okay, I'm sure your grandfather would do the same. Also, there is still this house, it holds much more memories of him compared to that pendant."
