Rugia

The scanner in Candace’s hand began flashing the word “error” in bold letters across its screen. Rugia’s power was so strong the scanner couldn’t read it any more. The dust cleared to reveal a fox with gold fur and hair standing with Rainbow Dash in its arms. The hair was like the first form’s appearance but was spikier. When Rugia’s eyes opened, the pulps had become slits like in the third form, but the irises were red instead of light blue. Gold aura emitted from his body like steam and his muscle mass had increases as well.

“Rugia what happened?” Rainbow asked confused, “How am I alive? And what happened to you?”

“I don’t know Rainbow,” Rugia said darkly and placed her on the ground, “but I need you to go with your friends and get someplace safe.”

“Ok Rugia.” she said running to Twilight and the others and was greeted by hugs and cries of happiness.

Resnoff stood confused on the matter. I was sure he had killed Rainbow Dash. But there she stood with her friends.

“I don’t know how that thing is still standing,” Resnoff said angrily, “but when I’m finished with you, I’ll kill her again. I’ll make sure its very slow and painful.”

“You heartless monster.” Rugia growled, “You just keep killing innocent ponies one after another, and you don’t even care. Don’t you have any sense of remorse?”

“No I don’t.” Resnoff replied, “I don’t have any regrets about killing them. I don’t care how that worthless pony came back from the dead, nor do I care how your body has returned to peek physical condition. All I know is that every last one of you are doomed.”

“Worthless pony?” Rugia teeth were showing, “That pony’s name… is… RAINBOW DASH!!!”

A streak of gold light crashed into Resnoff’s torso, creating a shock wave that tore up the ground behind him for fifty meters. Two seconds later Rugia blurred to and was in front of Resnoff, with his fist planted in his stomach. Rugia retracted and Resnoff stumbled backwards gasping for air.

“It can’t be…” Candace said shocked at Rugia’s immense speed.

“What is it Candace?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Rugia said it was only a legend.” Candace said, “He said that if a Rucan with all three forms feels and extreme sadness, they would transform into the Super Ruca 4 transformation. But it was only a legend.”

“RAAAAAGH!!!”

Rugia’s fist slammed into Resnoff’s head, sending him slamming into rocks and trees. Rugia leapt through the air and came down on Resnoff and began pounding him in the face as hard as he could.

“I’LL NEVER LET YOU GET AWAY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!” Rugia screamed as he grabbed Resnoff’s hair and began slamming his head into ground.

Rugia threw Resnoff high into the air, he pulled his fist back. He waited for the right moment and punched the air and sent a bullet-like shock wave smashing into Resnoff causing him so spin out of control. Rugia vanished in a flash of gold light. Resnoff suddenly came crashing into the ground hard. Rugia appeared shortly on top him pressing his foot into his stomach.

“I’m truly angry Resnoff.” Rugia growled, “I’ll make you pay. This is for what you did to Sweetie Belle!”

Rugia kicked Resnoff across the ground and he slid to a stop in front of the ponies of Ponyville.

“This is for the apple family!” Rugia shouted kicking Resnoff’s face knocking him over again.

Rugia grabbed Resnoff’s shirt collar and looked him deeply in the eyes.

“This is for Spike!” Rugia said punching Resnoff so hard in the face causing him to roll back wards.

Resnoff was laying on the ground holding his face and screaming.

“And this,” Rugia growled as he walked up to Resnoff and picking him by his hair, “is for what you did to Rainbow Dash and all of the other ponies.”

Rugia began dealing a series of punishing blow to Resnoff. Rugia wasn’t holding anything back. Rugia made one last final kick to Resnoff sending him across the ground. Rugia leaped through the air and came down slamming his fist into Resnoff causing the ground to explode from the impact.

(Stop music)

When the dust cleared Rugia was standing over Resnoff. Resnoff was laying motionless on the ground but was still conscious, his third form was gone. The ponies gathered around to see what would happen.

“I can’t believe I lost to the likes of you.” Resnoff said weakly, “Go ahead, finish me. I don’t deserve to live after failing to defeat you and harming your friends.”

“No Resnoff,” Rugia said calmly, “I’m not like you. I refuse to take your life.”

“What?” Resnoff was shocked, “How can you just say that after all I have done?”

“I don’t fight to kill my enemies Resnoff,” Rugia replied, “I fight to protect the innocent.”

“I see…” Resnoff said looking at the ponies around them, “Your love for these creatures gave you the strength to win. I only wish I knew what was like to have someone care for me, like you care for your Rainbow Dash friend. I feel so ashamed of myself. Rugia I’m asking that you please forgive me for my actions.”

“Sure.” Rugia said extending his hand, “let me help you up my friend.”

Resnoff reached out his hand to take hold of Rugia’s. As soon as he made contact with Rugia, his body immediately healed and he stood up. Rugia smiled at him as his body reverted to normal. Resnoff was filled a happiness he never felt before. He finally had someone he could truly call a friend.

________________________________________________________________________

Resnoff left Equestria a changed Rucan. The blue fox vowed to go throughout the galaxy protecting those in need. Rugia and friends watched the ship leave the planet’s orbit and disappear. Peace had returned and those who were killed had been reunited with their loved ones. Rarity was cuddling her sister and continuously saying how much she loved her. Twilight was holding Spike close to her as well, and the apple’s were all huddled together in a group hug. Rainbow Dash came up to Rugia who immediately scooped her up and hugged her tight.

“You know what Rainbow Dash?” Rugia asked.

“What?” Rainbow asked.

“From now on things are going to change.” he said, “First of all I’m going to stop being a smarty pants and having an answer to nearly every question. I’ll just help when asked. I’m also done fighting, its to stressful. Lastly, I’m going to get a job. Maybe I can ask Rarity if she has any openings for another designer.”

“Sounds like you learned an important lesson today.” Celestia said walking to him.

Rugia looked at her with guilt and said, “Princess, I’m sorry for getting cross with you like I did. It wasn’t right.”

“Its quite alright,” she smiled, “I shouldn’t have tried to interfere in the battle. I almost got you killed.”

“It’s like you said Princes,” Rugia said, “You have a duty to up hold. Mine is to protect you and my friends.”

“Well it sure has been an interestin’ year having y’all around Rugia.” Applejack said.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a party animal like you Rugia.” Pinkie Pie exclaimed hopping around him.

“I must say you certainly have an eye for fashion.” Rarity said, “I think I could use you around the house.”

“Looks like I’ve got the job Rainbow,” Rugia laughed, “I didn’t even need an interview.”

“Your still going to keep racing me from time to time aren’t ya Rugia?” Rainbow asked poking him in the chest.

“Of course.” he replied.

“And you’ll still come around to help with the animals when you can, right?” Fluttershy asked, “That is if you don’t mind.”

“You can count on it.” Rugia said.

“Can you come by every now and then to talk about magic with me Rugia?” asked Twilight.

“What?” Rugia asked with a devilish smirk, “Is spike that useless?”

“Hey!” shouted Spike with his arms at his sides.

Everyone crackled into laugher and Spike started in too. With Resnoff defeated, the only thing left to do was repair Ponyville and continue their peaceful lives.

The End
