Episode 28: Goodbye Yuko, Sister of the Moon
(featuring Full-Moon Terrible-Monster Lunaticks)

Lunaticks Lunaticks

Its the night of a full moon. While the others are on air patrol Hokuto, Seiji and Minami, Yuko are on ground patrol. Suddenly, Minami tells Hokuto to stop the car. She's seeing flashing lights, from the moon. Some one is signaling her that Lunaticks is on the move. At TAC HQ, a report comes in indicating there may be a volcanic eruption. Then a phone call, a Terrible-Monster has appeared at Mt. Kami. As the two TAC Space head there so does the Panther. Minami complaiing that Hokuto is going too slow. Of course the jets reach the Terrible-Monster first. As the TAC Panther pulls up, its obvious Minami recognises this Terrible-Monster. This Terrible-Monster actually launches its eyes like missiiles, they regenerate immediatly. The TAC Space is destroyed. Crew eject safely. The Terrible-Monster burrows into the ground so the captain in a TAC Arrow cannot attack. The narrator explains that Terrible-Monster Lunaticks actually eats magma. Without explaining how she knows, Minami tells Hokuto that the Terrible-Monster will make the Earth like the moon, a barren desert of a world. Without the Ultra Rings flashing, which means without orders from the Ultras, they Ultra Touch to become Ultraman Ace. Ace drillis into the Earth. Ace is beating up on the Terrible-Monster until it absorbs more magma and is able to spray fire and shoot its exploding eyes at Ace twice. On the surface TAC has to flee the ground quakes and then the volcanoe errupts. Both the Terrible-Monster and Ace emerge. After a second long battle Ace kills the Terrible-Monster by tossing into burning lave setting it on fire (this doesn't make sense since it lives in volcanoes eating magma but thats what happens). Later, when Hokuto and Minami are alone, he cannot understand why she is crying. She tells him its time to say goodbye. Then then reveals that she is actually an alien. not from Earth from the Moon. She claims the Moon was going to be a smaller version of the Earth but Lunatics attacked the Moon, absorning it magma, most of the Moonians died. She claims her people survived by escaping to Pluto. She was sent to Earth to wait for Lunatics to show itself and find away to destroy it. She says she can hear it people singing in joy that she has accomplished her mission. He says he can hear them too. In fact all the TAC members hear it. Minami says she and Hokuto will never see each other again (in fact they meet briefly 34 years later, in Ultraman Mebius [episode 44]), After giving Hokuto her Ultra Ring and saying goodbye to him. She says she will say good bye to the captain and the others as she leaves Hokuto she reverts to her true appearance. She thanks Captain Ryu and says goodbye. He salutes. One by one she says goodbye to the others and they all salute. Hokuto touches to the two Ultra Rings togther (he wasn't sure he could beome Ace alone). Ace salutes his former hostess and she flies home to the moon. Later, Hokuto puts Minami's uniform, complete with yellow scarf on a fire. The remaiing TAC members sing the TAC theme song. The narrator explains that Hokuto, Seiji has no joice but to carry on as the sole host of Ultraman Ace as Hokuto, Seiji is seen taking off on patrol in a TAC Arrow. >Preview of next episode<.
