Rugia

When the beam disappeared, Resnoff was still standing with heavy damage but still undefeated. The attack only made Resnoff angrier than before. Rugia stumbled to keep his balance and started panting. The Super Buster Cannon drained his power greatly.
Unlike in his other forms, the panicle form doesn’t regenerate energy as fast as the other forms. To top it off, if the user takes too much damage in this form they will begin to loose power. The injury Rugia had sustained wasn’t helping any.

“Darn it.” Rugia breathed, “I put everything I had into that. My body is too badly damaged to operate at full capacity. But that doesn‘t mean I cuh-”

Rugia was cut off by and extreme pain surging through him and he fell to his hands and knees. His body’s lightning aura disappeared and his hair and body returned to normal. The crowd of ponies gasped at Rugia’s sudden loss of power.

“No…” Rugia groaned in pain, “I was so close.”

“What a shame.” Resnoff said walking up to Rugia, “It looks like you reached your limit. Maybe if your princess hadn’t tried to play the hero you probably would have won. I really thought I was dead there for a moment. Now I’m going to finish you off.”

Resnoff grabbed Rugia’s throat and held him off the ground and proceeded to beat Rugia in the stomach. He Threw Rugia to the ground and began stomping him. Candace and the town watched in horror as Rugia was beaten senseless.

“Rugia no!” exclaimed Candace.

“Don’t give up Rugia,” exclaimed Rainbow Dash, “fight back!”

Hearing the screams of his friends made Rugia try to defend himself but Resnoff kicked him hard in the stomach, sliding him forty feet across the ground. Rugia coughed up blood. Rugia refused to stay down, and he struggled to stand up. His legs wobbled as he stood panting and looking Resnoff in the eyes.

“Rugia stop it!” Candace begged, “I don’t want you to die! Please just stay down!”

“I would still kill him anyway.” Resnoff said preparing to charge Rugia.

A sonic boom sounded off behind Resnoff and he turned to see Rainbow Dash streaking towards him with a rainbow trailing behind her.

“I WON’T LET YOU KILL HIM!!!” she screamed.

“You filthy pest!” Resnoff shouted as he shot a small beam of energy through her chest the size of a small bullet.

Rainbow Dash crashed into the ground and came to a rolling stop twenty feet from Rugia. Rugia’s eyes widened in horror and the rest of the town began gasping. Rainbows friends came Running to the battle field to get to her. Rugia tried to get to her as quickly as he could but collapsed from his injuries and had to crawl to her. Rugia got to his knees and held Rainbow Dash’s head up in his Right arm and held her right hoof in his left.

“Rainbow Dash,” Rugia said franticly, “just hold on we’ll get Victor here. Candace call Victor!”

“I can’t,” she replied, “the phone’s battery is dead! Someone go get Victor!”

Several ponies ran off to get Victor and Rugia turned his attention to Rainbow Dash who started coughing. Blood came out of her mouth and she looked at Rugia, who’s eyes were filled with fear.

“I guess that was a stupid idea,” she said weakly, “wasn’t it… Rugia?”

“Don’t worry about that.” Rugia said, “Just hold on, Victor will be here soon.”

“Rugia I have to tell you something,” Rainbow said.

“What is it?” Rugia said.

“I just want you to know…” she said with tears running down her face, “You are the best friend I have ever had. I have never had a friend like you that I could have a race with that could keep up with me. The times you and I hung out together were some really good times, even if the first few days I knew you were rough. You are like a father to me Rugia, you were always there for me when I was sad, angry, or I just needed a friend to talk to. I will never forget the times I have had with you.”

Rainbow clenched in pain and looked at Rugia with her happy smile.

“Goodbye Daddy… I love you…”

With that, she was gone. Rainbow Dash past away in Rugia’s arms and lay lifeless. Rugia’s heart broke in two.

“Rainbow Dash?” Rugia begged, “Rainbow Dash!? No please… Please don’t die. Please don’t die on me Rainbow Dash! Please! Come back… Please come back. I love you… I love so much…”

Rugia had never once cried in his life, but the pain of loosing his best friend was to much for him. He was filled with a sadness so painful, it made him sob uncontrollably as he held Rainbow Dash close to him. His tears ran down his face and onto Rainbow. Not once had he ever had to watch someone he loved dearly die in his arms.

Twilight and the others began to cry as well. Candace came to Rugia and wrapped her arms around him and she teared up as well. Victor came running up as fast as he could but stopped and fell to his knees when he saw he was too late. Victor didn’t like Rainbow Dash to much, he couldn’t help but tear up at the sight before him.

Rugia had lost the will to keep fighting, it wouldn’t have done him any good anyway. When Rucans become depressed, their powers are weakened and they can’t transform. But Rugia didn’t care anymore, his beloved Rainbow Dash was gone, the only friend he ever loved like a daughter. His sobs slowed to quiet weeps of sadness. He held Rainbow Dash closer to him as he fell into deeper despair.

“Yet another pony,” Resnoff said cruelly, “you could have saved.”

Twilight looked at him with heart broken eyes.

“How can you just stand there and be so heartless?” she wept.

“I care nothing for what happens to you creatures.” he replied, “As far as I’m concerned, that pony was just a piece of worthless garbage. Killing it felt good to me.”

“You…” Rugia spoke with a shaky voice, “You monster… How dare you… how… HOW DARE YOU!!!”

Candace’s scanner suddenly went berserk and started beeping loudly again. She looked at it with fright in her eyes.

“Wait,” she said, “this can’t be right.”

“What’s going on Candace?” Celestia asked her.

“It’s Rugia’s energy level!” she exclaimed, “It’s rising at an alarming rate! It has already shot up higher than Super Ruca 2! It’s accelerating!

Everyone backed away from Rugia as his energy began to go out of control. The ground began to shake as he grew stronger.

“What’s going on?” Resnoff demanded, “Rucan’s can’t power up under sadness! So how is his energy able to rise even when he is at his limit!?”

Dark storm clouds gathered over the area and lightning began striking the area. Everyone looked around in fear, confused at what was happening. Rugia’s body began shaking and a bolt of gold lightning surged through his body and vanished.

“What the…?” Resnoff said confused.

“Was that gold lightning?” asked Rarity.

Candace watched another bolt make it’s way through Rugia’s body and vanish again. The scanner started beeping at an even higher pitch as Rugia’s energy levels sky rocketed.

“I don’t understand,” she said drawing the attention from every pony around her, “Rugia said that Rucans never get gold lightning or aura. They only get red, blue, green, orange, blue, yellow, or purple.”

“What’s happening to him?” asked a scared Fluttershy.

“I don’t know!” she exclaimed looking at her scanner and gasping, “six hundred million!? But how can he have that much power? That’s more than his third form!”

Rugia’s pain was growing more and more as he continued to look at the lifeless Rainbow Dash in his arms. His hair flashed gold and changed back to brown. The pressure from his energy cracked the ground and started lifting chucks of the earth into the air. Rugia’s mind began forcing itself to remember every moment with Rainbow Dash. He remembered first meeting her, and how she didn’t like him at all. He remembered saving her from SCS-1. He remembered the time he took her in when he found her on his door step the night it was raining. He remembered his powers being revealed to her for the first time and how scared she was. He remembered all the times they played together, racing each other, and talked to each other. He remembered last year, on her birthday, he went through so much to get the Wonderbolts to perform at her party and how happy it made her. His mind drifted to last night, when he was deeply depressed, and Rainbow Dash danced with him to cheer him up. In his mind he watched her embrace him, and then the memory faded and he saw her before him dead in his arms. At this sight Rugia snapped, and let out a blood curdling scream and a blast of gold energy went through out Ponyville passing through everything.

The blast traveled through the medical tent and all of the healing devices detached from the patients, revealing they were healed instantly. The nurses and doctors stood in fear at what was happening. In the morgue, every pony including spike began gasping for air as they drew breath once more.

“What’s going on here!? Exclaimed a nurse.

Back on the battle field, Rugia’s powers exploded again creating another blast of gold energy. Rainbow Dash’s eyes opened and she gasped for air. Seeing her alive made Rugia’s heart explode and he and Rainbow Dash were engulfed in a dome of gold light. Everyone could hear Rugia’s screaming grow louder as the dome grew larger and exploded sending energy throughout the area. As the dust began to clear, they saw Rugia’s figure standing with Rainbow Dash in his arms.

(Author’s note: I cried when I wrote Rainbow Dash’s death in this chapter. I also apologize for the short chapter by the way. Also this is my first fanfic, so I’m sorry for writing a bad story. I’m still going to finish it though. In the future feed back would be appreciated, please no negative comments.)
