    Inside the control room, the unknown man slammed his fist against the table and just growled for a moment. He turned his head to one of the view screens that showed Iron-Man's victory over Crimson Dynamo and the two mutants that killed the clones of Hulk and Captain America with the help of the Scarlet Spider. The newest thorn in his side was now worrying about three people that have spider powers and will stop at nothing until this project is shut down. "DAMN THEM!" he yelled as he would take in deep breaths, then the doors opened behind him. He looked over his shoulder to see Warren come in and the man just turned to the view screens. "Hopefully good news Warren, because I need some," he said as he looked at different news outlets that voiced the confusion from the civilians of New York about a superhero fighting an exact copy of themselves.

    Warren looked at the screens before he looked at his employer, "Thor's clone for project Ragnarok is completed and the Spider-Carnage project is ready for phase 2."

    "That's good at least."

    "I do have one question... why Carnage? Why that symbiote?" Warren asked as he put his hands in his pockets.

    The figure sighed before leaning back in his chair, "It's only fair enough that you ask. Considering the trouble you went through creating a perfect monster," he started. "The other one, Venom, has a conscience. A moral code that limits him to killing only criminals, not everything. With Carnage, that certainty of witnesses and also soldiers will be no problem. The ultimate weapon... without risk of nuclear contamination."

    "It makes some sense... but it still carries risk to harming our own soldiers," Warren pointed out.

    "Which is why we have telepaths that have been reworking a lot of the memories of the clones. I expect Spider-Carnage to be no different, and if he is. Let the spiders take care of him."

    "We have a bigger problem," Maker's voices came in as a holographic image projected into the room before all the view screens showed an image of Japan, most importantly Tokyo. "A much bigger problem, the monsters that we cloned to take care of the giant in Japan, most of them are dead and even our own man made one named Bemular. Well," he said as he looked at the screen, "Look for yourself," he said as he put his hands behind his back. The other two focused on the monitors to watch what was going down.

    A monster was rampaging throughout the streets of Tokyo, the monster was spiked on its back and near the front of its body, with a long snout, yellow eyes, and standing on two feet. This was Bemular, a variation of a monster that attacked Japan during the sixties before it was defeated. As it continued to stomp through the city until a bright red light shot down in front of it, the shockwave knocked the monster to the ground as it roared for a moment. The monster would struggle to get up but was able to stand, but in front of it was a crouched being of light. Bemular groaned before tilting its head then the figure stood up, showing itself to be a giant of light.

    The light died down to reveal itself to be Ultraman Nexus, the defender of Japan and all life on the planet. Nexus would get into a defensive pose while grunting at the monster; Bemular would just roar as it went to attack the Ultra with a rage known to most monsters. Nexus would just wait for the monster to get within distance before doing a quick step followed by a side kick to the monsters solar plexus. The monster stepped back as Nexus ran towards it and punched it across its snout. The monster quickly turned around and knocked Nexus with its tail, launching the Ultra into a building. 

    Nexus heard screams and cries of people bellow the two giant beings, Nexus looks down at a child crying before looking back at Bemular. Bemular fired a blue flame breath at Nexus, the Ultra would go to his knee and put both hands out to create a shield of light that blocked the fire breath and kept the people underneath and behind Nexus safe. Nexus pushed back as he stood up until Bemular stopped the fire breath. Nexus pulled his left arm to the energy core on his chest, the Armed Nexus gave a blue light before he swung his left arm down: Nexus's image blurred for a moment before a red hue came over the image and transforming Nexus into his Junis Red form.
