Ultraman: The Next

Shunichi Maki, a pilot with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, has decided to give up his love for flying high powered F-15 jet fighter in order to devote more time to his wife and their 5 year old son who is hospitalized with a fatal decease. But just as he is about to turn in his uniform for the last time an order comes to scramble. A strange UFO has been sighted on a direct course for Tokyo. Maki's orders are clear. Identify the object and destroy it. But as his jet nears the UFO, Maki blacks out and his plane crashes with the UFO. To their astonishment the rescue party finds Maki alive and unhurt. Maki himself has no memory of anything after he lost consciousness aboard the plane. Maki learns that a week earlier another pilot experienced the very same thing. But after the collision the previous pilot's body began to grow in size and strength, eventually mutating into a huge and terrifically powerful beast. The monster escaped from the base and is now in the loose in the countryside. The first beast is code named "The One". Maki is code named "The Next". The reptilian alien beast towers nearly 10 meters(30 feet) tall. Its massive snake-like tail can be used as a whip of incredible force and its sinister fangs are capable of tearing a human being to shreds. As predicted, the monster heads straight for the underground area in which Maki has been confined. The door bursts open, Maki steps out and faces the gigantic monster. The monster turns with an almost gleeful expression on its hideous face. It will soon make a meal out of this pathetic creature. But just then something begins to happen to Maki. Within seconds he too has completely transformed into a bizarre alien creature, as gigantic as the monster he faces. But this new creature is very different from the reptilian beast. It has a human shape, though its face looks something like some insect-eyed alien. On its chest is a glowing red V-shaped mark. The aliens face each other, ready for battle. Will Maki prevail or will the reptilian beast destroy him? And even if Maki does win, can he retain his humanity and avoid ending up becoming a dangerous monster just like the reptilian creature?
