Zero was training under Ultraman Leo, he was exiled in K76 with the annoying this Tector Gear he had to wear, and this Tector Gear was preventing him from moving freely, it was very heavy, the gear was almost felt like it was crushing him in the inside. He don’t how long has he been here, he was exiled after his failed attempt to steal the Plasma Spark, he was stopped by Ultraseven. Ultraseven didn’t understand, he just wanted to be seen again, Ultraseven was strong, and the only way for Zero to meet him was to become strong too, he just wanted his favorite Ultraman to notice him again. He was supposed to going on training with Ultraman Leo. But, right now Ultraman Leo was currently talking to Ultraman King, beside Ultraman King was Ultraman Astra, who usually would be behind Ultraman King most of the time.

Zero had left them, he was walking and looking around K76, everything here was red, the ground, the sky, and even the water was red. There was a pigimon, who usually was watching him train, he wonders, where that little guy could be. But then, a bright light was shining with a golden portal opening in front of him, someone had walked out the portal.
Absolute Tartarus walked out, seeing the Past Ultraman Zero, who was currently staring at him, Tartarus smirked, because this naive child is his key to success. He may not me the Zero that was in the future, but with him, his chance increased.

“Ultraman Zero, I see you have been exiled by the other Ultras…”

Tartarus said, this one had the Tector Gear on him, it’ll be better if he didn’t have it, but of all timeline of Ultraman Zero, only on this time he was alone because he was searching for the pigimon monster.

“Who are you?”

“Stay away from me.”

Zero asked as he got into fight or flight mode, his training with Ultraman Leo had allowed him to fight with the Tector Gear on, since the training consist of physical and mental training.

“I’m Absolute Tartarus, you’re looking for power, don’t you? I can give you the power you always desired. So, what do say, Ultraman Zero…?”

Tartarus lends out his hand, he can use this Zero to collect information on Planet Ultra, The Land of Light, Nebula M78, the planet that will be for Absolutions. This Zero can collect information from the other Ultras plans, he just had to make sure that this Zero never met Ultraseven. Zero, who was in fight or flight suddenly paused abruptly after hearing the offer of this Absolute Tartarus guy, he thought back at Ultraseven, maybe Zero can finally show him that Zero wasn’t not weak, that he was capable and worthy to be seen by Ultraseven. So, with hesitation, Zero took Tartarus hands, and all of the sudden, both Zero and Tartarus was in a planet, which that almost looks like Planet Ultra, except everything here was gold, instead of green. There were also two other Ultraman in this place, Zero doesn’t recognized them, they are unfamiliar to him, one was red with silver, while the other one was blue with silver, from the way the red one looks at him, it was obvious that the red one hated him.

“Really? Why do we even need him? Ugh, just as I thought this couldn’t get any worse…”

The red-silver Ultraman exclaimed with anger, Zero was now sure that this red one hates him, for reasons Zero’s don’t even know about .

“Calm down, Belial. I’m sure that Tartarus has his reasons…”

The blue-silver Ultraman said to the red-silver Ultraman. So, the red-silver one names is Belial? Huh, Zero feels like he had heard that name before, but how and where, he doesn’t remember.

“Easy for you to say, Tregear…”

Belial said to the blue-silver Ultraman, so, the blue-silver one is named Tregear? Again, he felt like he had heard that name before, Belial and Tregear, so familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time.

“Well, he will be with us now. Just make sure that he doesn't meet them"

With annoyed expression Belial nodded, Tregear also nodded, this Zero can’t meet the future him and also Ultraseven, but Tregear’s gut feeling was telling him that they wouldn’t success on doing that.

Chapter Text

Ultraseven and the other Ultra brothers was discussing on how they could stop Tartarus from attacking and destroying the Ultras that could become a God, they have went for Cosmos, since he was needed to make Ultraman Legend and Saga. Zero, Seven’s son had failed on stopping Tartarus because Tartarus can see his strategists, Seven meets to teach Zero to fight on his primal impulse, since that’s the only way Tartarus wouldn’t have his way on reading Zero’s strategists.

.

.

Right now, his son was put into the Tector gear again, which would suppressed at least 50% of his full power, Zero was struggling badly, he has to fight Seven, Leo and Joneus all of the same time, while wearing the Tector Gear that prevented him from using his powers. After a while, Seven could feel his son’s was getting hot headed, Zero broke the Tector Gear open as he turned into his Corona Mode and was getting ready to attack them.

“I will protect the Land of Light, my primal impulse was never asleep, it was always AWAKE…!”

Zero said with anger as he was about to attack them with a fiery kick, but when Zero almost kicked Leo and Joneus, Seven stood in front of them and blocked Zero’s way, and when the kick almost hit him, Zero had stopped and calmed down after he realized that he was about to attack his own Father. Seven was so proud of his son, Zero had managed to calm down. Leo and Joneus had also had approved of Zero, Leo had reminded him, that the power that Zero has is to protect his friends and family, not for revenge or defeat an enemy.

“Honestly, you have always been a handful to handle, my son…”

“Father…”

Seven said to Zero, Zero was always a person of his own, Zero will fight for the things he believed and cared for, for him, power was important so he could be seen by people. That was his fault, he was never there for his son, but now Seven is going to make sure to at least spend some time with Zero. Seven pulled his son into a hug.

“You’ve grown strong, you were always so limitless…”

Seven said as he was about to pull out from the hug, but Zero held him in place and said to him.

“It will take 20.000 years for me to lose, Father.”

Seven laughed, he had said that to Zero when Zero had asked him to adopt him in Captain Zoffy’s, he was scared to tell Zero the truth back then, so he said that to at least give him hope. But, he didn’t expected that Zero would try to steal the Plasma Spark to become strong and meet him again.

“Of course, because you are my son, you will not lose.”

But, they’re bonding moment was interrupted, Astra had come to us to inform that Absolute Tartarus was in Noa’s resting place, he’s trying to find a way to destroy him, but Nexus had been awakened and is currently fighting with Ultraman Ribut and one of Tartarus assistants, Absolute Titan. And there’s someone that was also currently Planet Juran, trying to find him.

“Go Zero, we’ll take care of Planet Juran…”

Seven said to Zero, Zero nodded and quickly left the Planet K76 to have a rematch against Tartarus, and this time he will success on protecting his friends. Leo helped his brother Astra, as Seven and Joneus went to Planet Juran to try and stop whoever was trying to catch Cosmos.

Chapter Text

Past! Zero was told to go Planet Juran to catch Ultraman Cosmos, the planet was beautiful, there were so much life in here, and the monsters also seemed to live peacefully here. He was never told why he should catch Ultraman Cosmos or even why he was here in the first place, from his eavesdropping, he found out that right now he has in the future, for reasons he didn’t understand.

Past! Zero’s gut was telling him to not trust Tartarus at all, there were something wrong with that guy, he can feel it, but to be honest, he didn’t understand why he’s even agreeing to this. It’s like his body wasn’t in his control anymore, that Tartarus guy mush have done something to him.

But, when he was walking through the planet, Past! Zero had felt someone else presence here, no scratch that, there’s two people was about to landed here, they have be to Ultramans by their power presence, the Absolute power in him was reacting to it, it was trying to make me feel this planet.

And sold to behold, two Ultraman had landed not that far from him, and they were Ultraseven! Ultraseven was here, his favorite Ultraman, and there were also another Ultraman with a green star on his head. Past! Zero Absolutions powers had suddenly went feral by Ultraseven presence, it was trying to make him leave now.

.

.

Seven, who was with Joneus had successfully reached Planet Juran, everything seemed fine here, there were nothing wrong with this place, no tracks of battle or attacks, and there was no one here. It was peaceful, a little too peaceful even though there were supposed to be someone here.

But, when they were about to leave, Seven felt a presence of someone right at his east side, so, he wasted no time to send his Eye Slugger right at that place, and it hit something, Joneus and Seven quickly went to the Eye Slugger, but the person had already left, but Seven saw a glimpse of the person and it seems ‘he’ is wearing Tector Gear.

“What?!-...”

Seven was surprised, that version of Tector Gear was the one that his son wore when he was in exile, Seven was sure of it because he would always visit Zero when he’s asleep while in exile.

It couldn’t be, right? Did Tartarus brought him to the future? No, no, no. His son is in danger because of Tartarus, they need to find him and get him to safety. But, his thoughts was snapped because Joneus was calling him.

“Seven! What did you see?!...”

“I think, the past version of my son is with Tartarus.”

“What?!-“

Joneus couldn’t believe what he just heard from Seven, the past version of Zero is with Tartarus? There’s no way that Zero betrayed the Land of Light, right? He did try to steal the Plasma Spark, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to join Tartarus too, right? This is bad, but what if he was forced? Then, they have to safe him from Tartarus.

“Seven, we need to find out if he’s in our side or not…”

“I know, I hope he is.”

Seven answered Joneus, he knows he will have to fight his own son, if his son was not on their side, he needs to keep this secret away from Zero, because he will likely attack himself, if he found out that his Past! Self, Zero can’t know about this yet. They’ll have to keep this as a secret.
