[Ultraman] Silver-Blue Hellfire

[The timeline falls in the gap between the Showa and Heisei eras!] [This is the prequel to every story in the tokusatsu collection!] * Alien Empera destroyed her home. By the time the allies from the Land of Light arrived, Gaia was lying covered in wounds in a ruined church, particles of light drifting unsteadily around her. The dome had collapsed, and she could no longer see the rose-colored glow above. Who knows how she survived. The Etelans, who were responsible for maintaining the balance of the universe, were wiped out by the enemy's schemes. At the critical moment, silver-blue flames surged from the ruins, continuing to uphold the balance of the universe through the Etelan warriors' indomitable will. As the last remaining member of the Etelan people and a child orphaned by war, Gaia has a duty to pursue her late parents' wish and help the Land of Light defeat the Empera clan. She thought she would feel neither joy nor hope, and that the flames would consume her as she sought revenge. Let her suffer through this pain, this thousand-fold torment. Pain was pain; time would not lessen it, much less make it disappear. But she was wrong. Everyone in the Land of Light was kind. That included the silver-and-red fellow who seemed so arrogant. * After accepting her fate and finding peace with it, during the not-too-short yet not-too-long life of a Warrior of Light, Gaia would always miss the red-and-silver warrior. Even though he had lost himself by now. She would never forget his teachings, no matter how immense the difficulties before her. "Nothing can decide our future for us." "Don't worry. Our future will be filled with light." "So, kid, if you've got nothing to do, eat more light oranges." "Here." That's what he said. She listened carefully. As she came back to herself, the sweetness of the light orange quickly faded. "So that's how it is." When the time was right, she would carry an unregretful Ultraman heart into the flames of rebirth and continue to maintain the balance of the universe, even if it cost her life. Perhaps we will never have a future filled with light, but I will do my best to make sure the next generation does. Three beams of light: one bestowed, one gifted, and one separated. When the Etelan polyhedron at the deepest point of the universe flickered once more, in the final moment before her consciousness faded, she looked up and gazed at the twelve intertwined cosmic lines. "The future, like light, must also be passed on." [The pairing might be Belial. Captain Hikari is in the running throughout the story. If that's not for you, don't read!] [To reiterate, OOC warning!
