[ ken has watched old movies with his mom ages ago. this is not a genre he cared much about, but he knows a little. and having powers helps, so he gestures to anyone nearby to pause. ]
Let me go first.
[ this place is not big, but thankfully ultraman is downsized to ten feet. ken switches to his ultraman form and he strolls through the traps, letting the arrows and various projectiles lobbed at him. then the click of the boulder can be heard. it rushes towards ken who cuts it down with his energy buzz saw. debris flies everywhere. ]
Ugh. I want a bath. Is everyone okay?
( ii. heart of the tomb — rift memory )cw: grief, death
fire and smoke. his home, wrecked. debris everywhere. mina’s battered body helping to pull the wreckage off you. but she was damaged. irreparably. and your dad — his dad whom you had just started to mend things with. had a drink with. realized he never gave up looking for your mom, your dad —
his body couldn’t be found. all you could see was the sea and the rocks. no sign. and mina. mina was fading. you lovingly run your fingers over her smooth dome. her robotic voice telling you how proud she was of you, how she watched you grow. to get emi back, get their girl back. you thank you. the tears make her blurry in your vision.
“B-I-N-G-,” and her voice tapers off. the light goes out. mina was gone. she’s gone. your dad is gone. emi is gone. you’re alone and you cannot help but sob
and ken gasps, the grief hitting him straight in the chest, turning back from ultraman to his human self, the tears coming back. slipping through. ]
Mina . . .
( iii. aftermath )
[ sweaty, tired but relieved that the outcome went well. no one seems to be badly hurt. ken rolls his shoulders as he grabs a few plastic bags to grab samples with. his dad was a scientist after all and learning more about the kaiju means the chances of not having to to fight them forever goes up.
that being said, he does make a face as he picks up some bandages with a forceps and putting them in the bag. ]
Yuck. I hope we get something out of this.
