When Evil Tiga appeared in the sky, the members of the Victory Team piloting the fighter jets were surprised.
"Look, it's Tiga!"
Rena exclaimed with joy at the sight of Evil Tiga hovering in the sky.
However, she quickly realized something was amiss:
"Wait, why has Tiga turned black? Or is it... he's not Tiga at all?"
"It does look different from Tiga," said Koji in the fighter jet. "Rena, get ready for battle."
"Okay!"
Upon hearing Koji's words, Rena nodded.
Shinjo on the fighter jet said, "Don't worry, with me here, we don't have to fear this guy."
As he spoke, Evil Tiga unleashed two dark purple light balls towards the jets.
Rena reacted swiftly, maneuvering the jet to dodge Evil Tiga's attack.
"He's definitely not a good guy, fire!"
Shinjo immediately made a decision. After dodging, he aimed at Evil Tiga and fired two laser beams.
However, Evil Tiga casually swatted the laser beams aside, causing them to explode against a building.
As Evil Tiga prepared to launch another attack on the jets, Chen Yu appeared behind him.
Before Evil Tiga could react, Chen Yu had already gathered a Zepellion Ray in the sky, aiming it directly at Evil Tiga's back.
This sneak attack was entirely unexpected by Evil Tiga.
After all, he had just transformed, and Daigo was still paralyzed. How could Ultraman Tiga possibly appear?
The Zepellion Ray hit Evil Tiga, causing him to scream and fall to the ground.
With a loud crash, as Evil Tiga hit the road, dust and debris flew into the air.
Regretting not having eliminated his foe in one hit, Chen Yu realized Evil Tiga had fundamentally changed, his strength enhanced, becoming a true dark giant.
If using the Genetic Light Converter to transform was turning into light with the wrong heart, then using the Light Stick directly was Keigo Madoka's compounded mistake.
Thus, instead of becoming light, Keigo Madoka turned into darkness.
Humanity was witnessing a dark giant for the first time.
The Victory Team members in the fighter jet smiled again upon seeing Ultraman Tiga appear:
"It's Tiga!"
"It looks like Tiga's going to deal with this imposter!"
As Evil Tiga stood up, hunching over and turning to glare at Chen Yu in the sky, he conveyed his thoughts telepathically, "I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. Quite surprising. But the power I possess now seems even greater than the power of light. You can't possibly win against me!"
Chen Yu hadn't expected that after becoming a dark giant, Keigo Madoka could use telepathy.
In the original story, after transforming into Evil Tiga, Keigo Madoka could only speak through his company's broadcast in the plaza.
Clearly, Keigo Madoka's abilities had been significantly enhanced.
While dealing with a dark giant might be a bit troublesome, it was just a minor inconvenience for Chen Yu.
After all, he hadn't captured the Plasma Spark for nothing in the previous instance.
Having successfully used the Shining Power to avoid the side effects of touching the Plasma Spark, its power had clearly boosted Chen Yu.
That's why trying to obtain the Plasma Spark power again had no effect; he had already acquired it once.
Chen Yu's enhancement wasn't like Zero's, who could get weapons from the Plasma Spark.
Instead, it strengthened all three forms of Ultraman Tiga: Multi-Type's power and speed increased significantly, Power Type's strength was greater, and Sky Type's speed was faster!
These improvements were enough to give Chen Yu, transformed into Tiga, the ability to fight against the now dark-powered Evil Tiga.
"I've defeated Belial; why would I fear an Evil Tiga?"
Chen Yu said, crossing his hands in front of his forehead crystal and switching to the silver-purple Sky Type.
Evil Tiga launched a barrage of light balls, attempting to knock Chen Yu out of the sky.
However, with his significantly increased speed, Chen Yu dodged all the attacks and rushed towards Evil Tiga.
Snap!
When Evil Tiga crossed his arms in front for defense, he didn't feel the expected punch.
Instead, Chen Yu had tightly grabbed his waist, lifting him off the ground.
Realizing he was being held by Tiga, Evil Tiga clenched his fists and hammered Chen Yu's back continuously.
Chen Yu's forehead crystal glowed again, transforming into the silver-red Power Type in mid-air.
After taking a few hits from Evil Tiga, Chen Yu threw him away.
This maneuver was merely to avoid the battle affecting the ground.
In the original storyline, the battle between Tiga and Evil Tiga hadn't damaged the surrounding buildings.
But now, with Evil Tiga having become Dark Evil Tiga, his destructive power far exceeded the original Evil Tiga's, so moving the fight to the air was preferable.
Indeed, Evil Tiga paused and hovered in mid-air.
He continued launching purple light balls at Chen Yu, hoping to diminish his combat strength.
Chen Yu, unafraid of the light balls, caught two of them and infused them with the power of Delacium, forming a Delacium Light Ball and throwing it back.
An explosion occurred as the Delacium Light Ball collided with the purple light balls, creating a fireball in the sky.
As the fire gradually dissipated and Evil Tiga was about to attack again, he froze.
Because revealed in front of him were two figures of Tiga.
One was Chen Yu's Tiga, the Power Type.
As for the other, the Sky Type...
"Daigo, you're here."
Chen Yu communicated telepathically to Daigo beside him.
"Yeah, I have many questions for you, but let's deal with this guy first."
The Sky Type Tiga nodded, then focused on Evil Tiga.
Chen Yu, too, in the sky, posed ready to battle Evil Tiga.
Not only was Keigo Madoka baffled, but everyone who saw this scene was equally stunned.
"Did Tiga use some kind of cloning technique?" Koji speculated from the fighter jet, "Now there are two Tigas fighting!"
"Although it makes sense, if Tiga could clone himself, why didn't he do so at the pyramid to fight Golza and Melba separately?"
Rena voiced her doubts.
