Chapter 1: Enter Ultraman Scorn

"Congrats, it's a boy".

"Honey look at him".

"I want to see mummy"!

"He's got my eyes".

"He'll make a great warrior".

A boy was sitting at the back of a bus that was ferrying a batch of new first year students to the most prestigious school, CAT Academy. The teenager was the only one on the bus to be asleep. CAT Base and the Academy had been built at the centre of a huge forest called ‘The Everfree Forest’, there were a large enough clearing that both could be accommodated equally. The reason why this boy asleep was not because he was lazy, it’s because he was extremely tried from last night getting ready for the day ahead for him.

The road leading to the academy was a long bridge that ran from Canterlot City to the Academy and base. Several students filled the bus, all of which were in varying degrees of excitement. Suddenly, the bus stopped, making the boy wake up and look out the window, there seemed to be someone with her arm out, wanting to get on the bus. She was wearing the CAT Academy Uniform. She was slender, with black rimmed glasses framing her mousy face, and brought attention to her amethyst coloured eyes. Her hair – which was done up in a ponytail – was a dark violet colour, with a light steak of purple and pink running through it.

“She kinda cute”, the boy commented.

The new girl began walking down the aisle until she was at the back of the bus.

“H-Hi,” the nerdy girl greeted.

“Hey,” the boy replied.

“Um…I’m sure you picked this spot back here to be alone…but…would it be alright if I…sat over here, too?”

The boy rubbed his eyes and gave the girl a smile. “Sure, help yourself”.

The nerdy girl smiled and sat down in the right seat. She had been clutching a digital tablet the whole time, and once she sat down immediately swiped it open and began reading something. The bus driver continued on their way towards SMILE Academy. After a good five minutes of travel, the redhead asked, “So, what’s your name?”

The nerdy girl snapped her attention from her tablet and to the redhead. “Oh, um, yes. It’s Twilight. Twilight Sparkle.”

“Twilight?” The name sounded familiar to the boy. “Your mother wouldn’t be Twilight Velvet by any chance?”

“Y-yes, she is,” the Twilight said a little confused at the sudden reaction.

“And does she work with a woman called Jessie Metters?” the boy asked again.

“Yes, she does,” Twilight answered.

“That’s my mother,” the boy replied, “I’m Sam, my mum’s been told many things about you”.

“Hey, my mum’s been told the same about you”, Twilight replied. Soon the two of them were talking like old collage friends.

[C. A. T. Academy, 9:10 A. M.]

The bus finally joined a caravan of several others that were ferrying students, teachers, and CAT agents. To say that the school and the base were vast would be a huge understatement. The school itself stood like an ivory castle, with tall spires that led to different observatories, a large quad was set at the centre, and a statue of the first agent of CAT, the founder and creator, a woman simply known as Faust. A small staircase led up to the main entrance, where many of the students were filing in, off to the right path stood several buildings which looked like apartments, no doubt the student dorms. To the left were the training fields, some of which both agents and students used.

But behind the school was the towering CAT Base, it was one of many, but this was considered the first and best of them all. The base had domes structures built around it, with a central building that had a flight control tower as well as a scanning equipment meant to detect any anomalous changes in the atmosphere. There was a larger structure behind the domes, one that housed the mobile weapons of CAT, like their Tiger tanks, carriers, official CAT urban vehicles, and of course the Cheetah fighters that were routinely patrolling the airspace. The main centre piece of the entire structure was a large spire that sat in the centre of the base and Academy, but it was currently not in use.

Sam slid on his backpack and dragged his rolling suitcase behind him. According the schedule, orientation would be held at 10:30 A. M. so that the students could unpack in the dorm or just walk about after the long bus ride. Sam walked down the stone pathway up to Dormitory Alpha, once inside, Sam noted that the commons area was quite large, sporting a few chairs and sofas, as well as tables to sit and eat.

Sam went to the holographic map that was mounted in the middle of the commons area. Many students were crowding around the terminal as they got their room assignments. Sam pulled out a device called a “HoloPad”. With a flick of the wrist the device parted down the middle and extended out a good six inches, the centre of the rectangular object created a hard-light screen, displaying various apps and other things. Sam held the HoloPad up to the terminal and immediately the device began downloading and registering him.

After about a minute, Sam brought the device closer and tapped a few buttons until the device read, “Room Assignment: Room 326”. Nodding, Sam walked to the elevator’s, he waited a moment until the crowds died down, he really didn’t like sharing a cramped space with half a dozen people. Thankfully his prayers were answered as one of the elevators opened and Sam was the only one around, he quickly entered and pressed the button for the third floor.

“WAIT!” cried out a familiar voice.

Sam recognized that voice, they may’ve only met just this morning, but it was unmistakable. He briefly contemplated just letting the door close, but then sighed heavily as he pressed the button to keep the doors open. As expected, Twilight Sparkle came stumbling into the elevator, suitcases and all. Sam hurriedly pressed the button to close the doors to keep anyone else from rushing in, sharing an elevator with one other person was tolerable to six.

Twilight was panting as she slumped against the wall, making Sam chuckle as he said, “If this is going tier you that easily, training is going to be murder.”

The nerdy girl blushed in embarrassment. “I-I was never that physically active…mostly studying and science projects and reading…I realize now how poorly that has impacted my stamina and body.”

Sam gave Twilight a look once over, looking her up and down. Twilight was slender, small waist, not much up top, but the uniforms didn’t help, they sometimes made a girl appear flat, Sam had found that to be the case upon donning the uniform himself, but then he wore the men’s uniform. Her skin was a slightly pale, showing that while she may have spent most of her time indoors, she had gone outside enough to not appear ghostly. Compared to Sam’s light skin and standard build, he could see why the girl was embarrassed.

“Eh, you’re not that bad on the eyes, and some guys actually dig the whole nerdy librarian look.”

Twilight blushed again as she fixed her gaze at her shoes. “I-I-I wouldn’t know, I’ve never actually dated anyone…nor am I particularly looking for romance.”

“That’s cool, neither am I,” said Sam.

The elevator dinged, the doors sliding open to show a multitude of their fellow students meandering through the halls to find their assigned rooms. Sam had to admit, this school really spared no expense, the hallway walls were painted sky-blue, with immaculate white doors, and plush, velvety carpet. Sam opened up his HoloPad again and began walking as the device gave directions, after a few turns Sam stopped before his room, but paused when he noticed that Twilight had followed him. Then turned back to the door which showed there were two others in the room, as well as a reading on the door saying, ‘two out of four students present’.

“Is…something wrong?” Twilight asked.

“No but I do have a question,” Sam said, “Are we sharing a room with two others?”

Twilight raised an eyebrow, she quickly got out her HoloPad out and looked up the room codes. Sam looked at her while Twilight read out the room codes, “Rooms can have the minimum of one student and maximum of four.”

“Guess we’re roommates we whoever is in there?”

Sam took out his HoloPad and placed against the scanner next to the door and immediately the door unlocked, Twilight followed behind him, putting her HoloPad against the scanner to register that she was also in the room. Once inside, the two of them went wide eyed with surprise.

It wasn’t so much a dorm room as it was an apartment. The room was spacious, with a large couch at the centre that could fit four people on it, a recliner to the right of that, and a flat screen TV mounted on the wall. There was a wood coffee table below that was set between the chair and sofa, with a fruit basket that read “Welcome!”. The two of them walked further inside and spotted a kitchen, it had a small island in the middle, complete with a dish washer, stove, refrigerator, and sink. From the sink there was a flat top bar with stools sitting on the other side, and a small table that could at least seat four comfortably. Further back the two of them spotted sliding doors that led to a balcony, which gave an impressive view of the campus, base, and forest.

Sam broke to the right and opened the door, Twilight followed suit to get an idea of what her room would be like. Inside was a queen-sized bed, complete with a desk that was placed into the corner of to the bed’s right side, a closet, and a dresser, with a TV mounted above it. On the left side of the room, was a bathroom. It was a standard one-person bathroom, with a walk-in shower.

Also in the room were the other two students. One was a lightly tanned skin girl with a lead build, fiery red and yellow hair and turquoise eyes. The other girl wasn’t as pale as Twilight and had a light tint to her colour. She had a rather large bust which sort of made Sam’s nosebleed a bit, her hair was a cute pale pink and her eyes were bright blue.

“Hello there,” said the firery girl called out, “you two must be our other roommates. I’m Sunset and that there is Fluttershy”.

“Hello,” Fluttershy responded shyly, “It’s nice to meet you”.

“You too,” Sam replied, “I’m Sam and this is Twilight”.

"Wait, Sam?" Sunset asked before running up to hug her cousin, "It's good to see you again".

"Same here, Sunny," Sam responded with Sunset's little nickname.

“So who’s going to sleep with who?” Twilight asked, a little concerned.

“How about this, we play ‘odd one out’,” Sam said, before he started to explain “If I, Twilight and Sunset held out a one, and Fluttershy held out a two, she the odd one out”.

Once the bedrooms were chosen (Twilight and Sunset shared one while Sam and Fluttershy shared the other), Twilight and Sam went to unpacking their things. Sam paused as he moved some of his unmentionables away to reveal a pair of some sort of fingerless gloves. The gloves were gold in colour, with a deep crimson capsule in the middle of it. If the capsules opened they revealed a slot to hold a small circler dice.

“Can’t leave this thing lying around.”

Sam placed the gloves on his hands, and when he put them on, he brought out a sport duffle bag appeared around his torso. Sam unzipped it and opened it. He pulled out a figures of a monster, rectangular device and a blue ring. Sam walked over to a shelf and started to place the monsters on each lever of the shelf. As Fluttershy was in the room as well, she was interested by Sam’s collection.

“What a nice collection of figures”, Fluttershy said, walking up to the shelf.

“Thanks, their my Spark Dolls,” Sam responded, “I’ve been collecting them with my mum and dad since I was five”.

“This is Eleking if I’m not mistaken”, she said holding the figure of said monster.

“Yeah they all have a warm spot in my heart as their not just friends but family too”.

“Aww that’s so sweet”, Fluttershy said as she place Eleking back in between a Bemular and a Dinosaur Tank spark doll.

As soon as Fluttershy left, Sam pulled out a dice holder which held dices of two giants and a few monsters and a Cyber Card holder which held a six different cards with monsters on them. He strapped them around his waist and headed for the door.

[Assembly Hall, 11:45 A. M.]

Since they were all now officially roommates, Twilight, Sunset and Fluttershy seemed to stick by Sam as they headed out for the Assembly Hall, Sam grinned a little, he’d never had this many girls stick with him. Once they arrived, they saw that the whole auditorium was filled with a deafening roar of people talking over each other. As they took their seats, Sam once again took notice of the rest of the students filling the seats. Two girls seemed to be getting into an arm-wrestling contest, one was wearing a cowboy hat, and the other had rainbow hair. There was a third who seemed to be refereeing the spectacle, she had bright blue eyes and a bouncy, curly head of pink hair.

A little off to the side she spotted two others, the one with violet hair was really done up, having taken every measure to make her uniform show her individuality, adding white frills to the cuffs of the blazer, along with accentuating the hem and collar with gold trim. The girl was speaking to two other girls next to her, which seemed to just be listening rather than doing any talking. One girl had medium purple hair with a turquoise streak in it, a shade darker than other girl, her blue eyes conveyed understanding. The other had sliver hair, her skin was a slightly darker shade to her friend and her eyes were pink.

Aside from them not very many others stood out to her, there were other like a rather large bulky boy, a boy with blue spikey hair that had a Rock n’ Roller vibe to him, and a girl who had blonde hair, and had wall eyes.

The auditorium went silent as a woman took centre stage, holographic screens appeared above her, allowing her face to be seen by everyone in attendance. The woman walking up to the see-through podium had long, midnight blue hair, her shimmering aquamarine eyes had a piecing look to them as if peering into your soul. This was accentuated by the woman’s graceful application of black mascara and navy-blue eyeshadow. She wore a CAT uniform, the left side of the chest bared the crest of CAT, but her right side displayed her badge, which had four stars on it that indicated her rank.

Once at the podium, the woman tapped the mic to make sure it was working and said, “Hello, and welcome to CAT Academy. I am the Vice Commander, as well as the Dean of Students, Luna Solstice. As the Dean of Students, I also head the Disciplinary Committee, I will remind all students and returning students to adhere to the rules.”
‘Strict as ever’, thought Sam.

“Now, here to give you some context on our pristine base and school, allow me to introduce you to the Headmistress and Commander of CAT Concordia Base, Celestia Solstice.”

From the entrance, another woman walked up. Her uniform was all white, barring the gold trim around the shoulders, and around the cuffs, and on her badge, it showed a sun with four stars at the centre. Her skin was a beautiful pale colour and flawless, her hair was three colours of green, blue, and pink, and her fuchsia eyes shown with a motherly warmth despite her obvious high rank in the organization. Celestia and Luna were both tall women, but Celestia still towered over her by a head.

Celestia cleared her throat and said, “Thank you, Vice Commander Luna. Welcome my new students and returning students! I am happy to have you all for another year here at CAT Academy! Now, I know not all of you are here to join our organization and are here to further your education before moving onto whatever you are aspiring to. Let me be the first one to say this, you needn’t feel pressured nor ashamed for not joining. Defending the Earth is a noble endeavour, but so is chasing after your dreams, whatever they may be.”

“Here at the Academy, you’ll learn and grow over the next four years, some who have come here not wanting to join sometimes end up joining right after graduation. That is why you all will be taking some courses in engineering and maintenance, biological science, and astronomy. As well as some basic training courses. SMILE was created to ensure that another event like The First Incursion never happens again, and for the past twenty years, we have been able to repel all manner of Space Beast attacks, as well as covert alien operations.”

Celestia took the mic and began walking around, looking up to the faces of the students to connect with each of them. “The future is what you make of it, take what you learn here and apply it in your endeavours, whether it is defending the Earth or achieving your dreams, I only ask that you give it your all!”

The students all stood and clapped their hands in a standing ovation, for a moment, Sunset and Sam locked eyes with the Commander, Celestia smiled and then walked back to the podium to continue. “Alright, now, I would also like to talk to you all regarding ‘Special Operations’. These are kind of onsite work-study programs where you will be able to work alongside our fellow CAT agents, whether it is in maintenance, logistical support, civilian evacuation – but only when accompanied by a senior agent, and research and development. Those of you who have been selected for this are to report immediately to your designated stations when the alarm sounds, and yes, you will be given slight leeway in your classes and some assignments, but you are still expected to maintain your grades either way, monster attacks or no monster attacks, understand?!”

As one, the entire student body answered, “YES MA’AM!”

The rest of the orientation dragged on into the class structure, the rules regarding the dorms, and off campus excursions. Sam had long tuned out what Celestia was saying, he wasn’t really a listener, but snuck a glance at his roommates, watching as Twilight gazed upon the Commander, eyes as big as saucers and practically sparkling with admiration and enthusiasm. Sam had to admit, it was cute in a nerdy way. He also felt something between him and Twilight, it wasn’t a romantic bond but something that reminded his of his sister back home.

After everything was done, the students were dismissed to go about the campus or whatever they wished. One of the perks of being a student, was the ability to rent a car from the campus, provided they had passed CAT’s driving course before entering or during their stay in CAT, so Sam decided to head into the city. ‘I’m going to be spending a majority of my time here, might as well go and have some fun away from here’, he thought.

Just then, Sam stopped when he spotted Vice Commander Luna and Commander Celestia talking with his roommates, he really wasn’t in the mood to talk to Celestia, so he slowly turned around to walk away and–

“Samuel Metters?”

‘Damn it!’

Sam slowly turned around and waved at Celestia, “Heeeeey…Commander…”

Celestia rolled her eyes at Sam’s pitiful greeting. “Oh please, you can call me Auntie Tia, and of course you can call Luna Auntie Lulu!”

Luna’s eye twitched. “Please, don’t.”

“Don’t worry I don’t plan to”, Sam responded deadpanned.

Twilight and Fluttershy blinked a few times as she looked between Celestia, Luna, and Sam. “W-Wait, a-are you related?!”
Sam crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, “Yeah, but on my mother’s side. They’re my aunts and Sunset’s parents. Aunts which I remember asking not to talk to me so much around here.”

“We’re just making sure that you are acclimating well so far,” said Luna.

“You two still treat me like I’m six years old. But I am ‘acclimating’, just fine, thank you.” Sam quickly began to storm off to the cafeteria. “See ya later!”

“Uh-Uh, Sam where are going?! Sam?!”

Both Commanders watched as their nephew left through one of the entrances, Sunset, Twilight and Fluttershy said their goodbyes and followed Sam. Celestia sighed and placed her hands on her hips as she gave Luna a stern glare. “Really, Luna, can you at least try and be a little less…well, there’s another word I’d like to use, but since we’re among our students, I’ll just say: uptight?”

Luna rolled her eyes. “Sister, you treat that boy in a much too childish way. Lest you forget what he is and what he can do?”

“I haven’t forgotten at all, but perhaps treating him as family will have a more positive impact than treating him differently,” said Celestia, “might I remind YOU of his disabilities.”

“Agree to disagree, Sister.”

[Canterlot City, 2:15 P. M.]

Sunset, Twilight and Fluttershy had followed Sam to the city, in all honesty he was acting instinct rather than thinking it through, but in the end, they found themselves at the Crystal Palace Mall, sitting in the middle of the food court. Upon surveying the area, it seemed that Sam wasn’t the only student who wanted to get away from the campus for a bit, as there were some students who were still in uniform either walking about the mall or in the food court. There were possibly more, but they may have already switched to their regular civilian clothes.

The four were sipping on some smoothies that Sam had bought, the air around them had become silent and awkward. Fluttershy looked as if she wanted to say something, but Sam’s slight scowl made her stop before the words could leave her mouth.

“Sorry.”

“W-What?”

“I mean, sorry for dragging you all out here…I wasn’t really thinking, and I just acted…Probably scared you a little, huh?”
The three gave awkward smiles. “Well, maybe not so much ‘scared’ as much as ‘surprised’. Do you not like the commanders?” Twilight asked.

Sam released a sigh as he leaned back and looked up at the ceiling. “I don’t know, I don’t hate them…I guess that’s something…it’s complicated.”

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be prying,” said Twilight.

“Don’t worry, it’s actually nice to have someone to talk to, I’ve always been a loner…for as much as I can remember, anyway.”

That caught Fluttershy’s attention. “Wait, what do you mean by that?” The she remembered the Spark Dolls and what Sam said about them.

Sam thought about it for a moment, he was going to be living in the same dorm with these girls for the foreseeable future, and it couldn’t hurt to have at least these girls the trust. “Truth is…I don’t know much about myself; I like be with my parents, heck I love them, but the thing is I don’t really feel a strong connection to them. Like I never knew my real parents, and those Spark Dolls, they were the only things to make me feel like I had friends. I was always alone back at my old school, no one talked to me, no one would help me, the only time I would be when I got bullied, as I had the Spark Dolls to play with. Sorry to say you three got stuck with a bit of a problem child as a roommate.”

Twilight shook her head. “It’s not your fault you were bullied, but…can I ask you something?”

“Yes.”

“Well…I never really had a friend – I’ve always been a bit socially inept…”

everyone raised an eyebrow at Twilight.

“Okay, I am socially inept, but I kind of want to change that. I know in order to advance anywhere in life, you need to socialize, make connections, and not just business ones, but ones built on trust,” Twilight explained.

“Sounds like you’re talking about friendship,” Sunset said.

“Yes that! And…I don’t know if this is too forward of me…but, I’d like it if we all could be friends?” Twilight asked nervously.

Sam couldn’t help but chuckle at that wording. “I don’t know…tell you what, make it friends with benefits, and then I’ll agree.”

“Oh, I’ve never heard of that kind, but if you want to be friends like that, I wouldn’t mind trying it!” Twilight stated enthusiastically.

The redhead spat out his smoothie onto the table. “Are you serious?! Do you even know what that means?!”
Twilight blinked.

“Oh god, you really are socially inept…” Sam ran his hand down his face. For a moment, he thought about letting her agree, but she wasn’t that evil. “No, no, we’ll just be friends, not the other one.”

“Did I say something wrong?” Twilight asked, nervous that she may have damaged a potential friendship right out of the gate.

Fluttershy could only blush as Sunset was trying not to laugh.

“It’s…give me your ear,” Sam said

Twilight leaned forward and allowed Sam to whisper into her ear, after a few seconds Twilight’s face was burning bright red to the point that steam was practically coming out of her ears. “Samuel Metters!” Twilight exclaimed as she pulled back.

Sunset, Sam and Fluttershy laughed at her reaction, making the nerdy girl pout. “Sorry, sorry, but seriously though, I wouldn’t mind. Just letting you know now, I’m a handful.”

“Yeah anyway I think you have something for Fluttershy,” Sunset remarked giving Sam a devilish grin.

“What?! Hell no!” Sam shouted, turning as red as his hair.

“Oh my…” Fluttershy blushed deeper until she was as pink as a rose.

Twilight cleared her throat, “I’d be lying if I said I probably wasn’t the same way, but others have said otherwise.” She then grabbed her smoothie glass and held it up. “To new friends?”

Sam chuckled and he, Sunset and Fluttershy brought up their glass, “New friends.”

*Tink*

Suddenly, an earthquake happened as an alarm went off from their HoloPads. Every student in the food court immediately pulled them out and opened them to see what was going on.

[Code Red: Imminent Terra Beast Attack. If you are receiving this message report to the nearest Shelter immediately, CAT Assault Teams have been dispatched.]

“Crap, girls we need to go,” Sam said as they got up and began to run. But then Sam noticed that Twilight hadn’t gotten up.
Sam ran back to see Twilight was beginning to hyperventilate, her pupils shrinking to pinpricks as her body began to shake.

Sam quickly slipped his HoloPad back into his blazer pocket and went to Twilight. “Twilight, you’re having a panic attack, I need you to focus!”

“I…I…can’t breathe!”

“Yes, you can, look at me!” Sam made Twilight look her in the eyes. “We need to leave and head to the shelter, I know you’re scared, but I’m right here!”

Twilight kept her focus on Sam’s eyes, trying to control her breathing and the hammering of her heart. It was strange, but Twilight did feel herself calming down, whenever this happened, the only other people who could get her to calm down was her parents, her big brother, and her sister-in-law/former babysitter. But Sam, somehow, was having the same effect on her. After a few seconds, Twilight’s breathing steadied itself enough to where she didn’t feel like she was going to pass out.

“You with me?” Sam asked.

“Y-Yes,” Twilight stated in weak tone.

“Good girl, let’s go!”

Sam and Twilight made it outside with Sunset and Fluttershy already outside as the earthquake stopped, but as soon as it stopped three monsters rose up from the ground. The first seemed to resemble an earth worm with green skin, and a rounded head.

The second was some sort of mole monster with red spikes on his back, red eyes and a jackhammer snout.

And the third was a dark green thorny devil-like monster with spikes all over his body, and seemed to walk on all fours.

“What in the hell are they?” Sam shouted.

“Detton, Angross and Magular”, everyone turned to Fluttershy.

“Wait, Fluttershy you know who these monsters are?” Sunset asked in wonder.

“Well yeah”, Fluttershy responded shyly, “I’ve been studying monsters of the elements and monsters like these are in the Terra Class.”

Then they looked to see the CAT jets and Tanks rolling in to defend the monsters.

The airspace around Canterlot City was blanketed with CAT’s specialized aerial fighter jets, code named Cheetahs, a nod to the fastest feline in the world. The aircraft had a blade like design, sporting bow mounted twin photon repeater cannons, and missile launcher that was released from the Bombay panels beneath the aircraft. On the ground, several tank-like vehicles were scrambled and lined up. Each one was coloured blue with black stripes, and was heavily armoured, on top of the tanks they sported a large plasma cannon, these powerhouses were code named: Tiger.

The Tiger tanks immediately fired upon Detton, releasing bursts of plasma energy straight at it. The energized ordinance impacted against the monster and exploded; it did appear to cause it some damage but not much but did succeed in grabbing its attention. Detton inhaled and then exhaled a jet a flames that roared down the street and washed over the tanks, thankfully the Tigers and Cheetahs were equipped with energy shielding, however, it wasn’t permanent. The Cheetahs broke off into teams of three and nosedived for Magular and Angross.

The photon cannons fired rapidly on the creatures. The flame attack was ceased as Magular used its spiked back to shield itself from the rain of photon bolts. The Cheetahs broke off as another three followed up behind them and launched several missiles at Angross. Each struck the beast’s head, shoulders, arms, and back, exploding against its armoured body. Unfortunately, their attacks seemed to do little more than irritate the behemoth. When the next trio arrived, Magular opened its mouth and fired fireballs at the jets. The Cheetah that were flying in all began to scatter, but some did not escape, the fireballs managed to destroy some of the Cheetahs, luckily the pilot managed to escape.

The monsters were not done yet as Detton reared its head back and launched a stream of fire. The flames soared into the air, as it hit a few more of the Cheetahs and taking them out of the fight. One of the fighter’s broke off from the rest and spiralled down the flames, the code name written on the side of this fighter was “Blitz”. When the rogue Cheetah reached Detton’s head, it released one salvo after the other, continuously firing its photon cannons into the beast’s face.

At the same time, one Tiger tank revved up its engine and charged up its plasma cannon. The tank fired a concentrated charged beam blast straight at the monster face, combining into a powerful explosion that made the beast cry out in pain as it stumbled backwards and crashed into some buildings.

The rogue Cheetah pulled up and re-joined the rest of the squadron, but not before getting an earful from their captain.
{Dammit rookie, I told you not to pull any crazy ass stunts like this! This ain’t the simulator!}

{Sorry, Captain Spitfire, but if I didn’t that thing was going to keep taking out our fighters! Ma’am!}

An audible groan could be heard coming from the other line. {Yeah, you and that tanker did good, but that trick won’t work twice, next time you might get a face full of fire. Your shield’s reading at 30%, hang back with the rest of us. That’s an order Private Dash.}

At that moment, a voice with a southern drawl called in and said, {Sorry to interrupt, but that overgrown worm is gettin’ back up again!}

Indeed, Detton was getting back up, and looked none too pleased that it had gotten the equivalent of a sucker punch to the face. Detton inhaled again bellowed out more of its intense flames, bathing the ground and sky indiscriminately in its blazing rage. Many of the structures around it began to explode and crumble under the intensity of the flames forcing the CAT forces to fall back.

‘This is not good’, Sam thought.

It had taken a bit for Twilight to find the strength to run, Sam had hoped the adrenaline would be enough to get her strength back after her panic attack, it was, but not to the degree he was hoping. Nonetheless, Twilight was able to finally get her legs moving the way she wanted to, but her lack of physical activity was showing as her breathing was laboured, her muscles crying out in protest of how long the three girls and boy had been running.

All of them had to stop several times while the battle was going, the monsters had appeared not too far from the mall, and the nearest shelter was close to the battlefield. Sam had thought to take the car, but a rogue chunk of debris had fallen right onto the car, caving it in and making it useless. The four stopped again in an alleyway, catching their breath. Sunset took out her HoloPad and checked their position, from what she could tell, they were one block away from the shelter. Sunset looked to Sam, which he looked to Fluttershy and Twilight, her body slumped up against the wall of the building as her chest heaved, if it was just himself, he could make it easily, but Twilight…

“L-Leave…me…guys…!” Twilight stated between breaths.

“What?!”

“You…You’re faster…You’re not as tired…as I am…! At this rate…we’ll…we’ll all die!”

Sam’s brow knit at that. “I am not leaving you to die out here! We’re all getting to that shelter if I have to carry you there!” Or…there’s another option…

Suddenly, a roar from Angross ceased all thoughts running through their heads. Angross dug its drill nose into the ground and causing geysers of earth to go shooting into the air, slamming into them like a freight train and causing them to fall over.

“GIRLS!” Sam shouted as he dove for his new friend.

They all hit the ground just as a large chunk of the ground slid down and crashed against the other. Pieces of debris cascaded on both sides, cutting off their escape, and right over that, the flames from Detton.

Sam and the girls coughed as dirt covered them and the dust hung in the air. Twilight took out her cell phone and turned on the light, seeing how they were alive. Miraculously, the building fell in just the right way to allow for a small pocket to form, however, that was not exactly a good thing. It didn’t take long for them all to feel the heat radiating around them, turning their small refuge into a brick oven.

“At…At this rate, we’ll die from heatstroke long before those flames get to us, that’s also factoring in our current physical condition!” Sunset gritted her teeth, there was something Sam could do, something that he wasn’t sure that Celestia and Luna would like. Just then, he felt Fluttershy’s wrap around his arm as she held tight, feeling her body shaking in fear and terror. Twilight was doing the same to Sunset.

“Sam, I’m scared, I don’t want to die…” Fluttershy cried.

‘Screw it!’ Sam bent down on one knee and looked Fluttershy in the eyes. “I need you to make me a promise, right here, right now, Fluttershy and Twilight!”

“W-What promise?” Twilight asked.

“Whatever you see today, you will never speak a word of it to anyone at school! Not your family, not anyone! Do you understand?! Please promise me!”

Twilight and Fluttershy nodded vigorously and said, “Yes, we promise!”

Sam smiled and patted Fluttershy on the head, earning her a confused look from the bespectacled girl. She then stood up and held out his arms, within seconds the entirety of their refuge was engulfed in blinding light, but for Sam it was different.

All around him was a starry nexus, he opened the dice holder and pulled one coin that had a figure drawn on it and said, “Lend me your power, Ultraman!” Sam placed the coin into his left gauntlet. A red essence flew out from this coin and appeared on his right, this being looked similar to the first, but his body was more silver and red.

{ULTRAMAN}

Sam took another coin and said, “Lend me the will of the earth, Gaia!” before placing it into the right gauntlet. From that coin a gold essence flew out and appeared next to him in the form of a man, with gold and black chest plate embedded into its body.

{ULTRAMAN GAIA}

“I shall bring peace and harmony to the universe!!” Upon saying this Sam crossed his arms, then raised them up, Ultraman and Gaia turned back into energy and went into Sam’s Ultra Gauntlets and finally smashed his fists together, causing red and gold energy to spiral around him.

{RISE ULTRAMAN SCORN SPECIUM PHOTON!}

From the outside, where the rubble was strewn, and the flames continued to roar, a light shined from the spot that the four were trapped under, causing the buildings to blow apart. A wave of sparkling, azure light washed over the entire area, extinguishing the flames. The wave eventually slammed into Detton, causing sparks to fly from its body as it was hurled onto its back. All CAT forces paused to watch as a giant of light appeared, the light that coated that giant began to dissipate and reveal the giant’s true form.

This being was male in appearance, its body, arms and legs, were all coloured bright sliver and red. The middle bands joined at waist to form a makeshift belt, completing the circuit around her back. Wrapped around his fists were golden Gauntlets that had embedded crimson jewels, the giant also sported gold markings on his head with red ears and the middle of his head formed a red crest. His upper body was covered in a gold, red and black armour plate. At the centre of this armour plate was a bright blue, crystal circle, the object was fastened to the armour by a gold metal edging.

“I am…Ultraman Scorn!” The Ultra Warrior announced as he assumed a fighting stance.

After picking itself back up, the Detton cried out with another screech, as if challenging the giant of light. Angross and Magular came over to fight the giant.

Scorn took off like an Olympic sprinter, charging straight for the creatures, he cocked back his right fist and punched Detton right in the face. The beast reeled from the impact, stumbling backwards, Scorn didn’t let up as he got in close and delivered a left hook to the Angross’ stomach, making it cry out in pain. Detton inhaled and bellowed out a stream of flames at Scorn, but he dodged it and it hit Magular making the monster cry out in pain.

The Ultra Warrior crouched low and then jumped into the air. Scorn flipped around in mid-air and stopped a few feet over the monster’s head, he then descended as his as his left gem glowed purple, and a translucent blade wrapped around his left hand, Detton looked up at the last second as Scorn cried out, “POISON SLASH!”

Scorn slashed his energized hand into the side of the monster’s shoulder, sending it flying several feet as it slammed through several buildings at once and making it poisoned. Scorn wasn’t about to give these creatures a chance to counterattack as he dashed towards Magular as his fists glowed yellow and Scorn cried out “SUNLIGHT SHOT!” Scorn fired a beam of flames which burned hotter than the sun and destroyed the monster in one go. Before he could charge up another attack, Angross jumped and landed on Scorn. Scorn was tackled to the ground as Angross pummelled him.

Detton rose up from the rumble and then ran up to Scorn and Angross, Sam managed to get Angross off him only to get knocked back down as Detton charged at him. Scorn got up and could see the poison was doing its work as Detton seemed to slow down a bit. Angross launched forward again, but Scorn was ready, he caught Angross and through him into the air, his fists gems glowed red as they were ingulfed in flames, “BURNING PUNCH!”, Scorn shouted as he raised a fists up and as Angross came down again Scorn smashed his left fist straight into Angross making him explode.

Scorn had now one monster to defeat, but he was growing tired, he looked around for Detton, but he wasn’t anywhere to be sewn. Until Detton appeared from underground, causing Scorn to fall over as his rose from the ground, preparing to unleash another fire attack. Scorn got up and took this chance as he swung both his legs back and struck the monster in the gut with both of his feet, making it back away and belch out its flames too early onto a building nearby.

However, Detton still had its strength, although the poison was doing a number on it. The beast began to run again and with a flick of its feet, launched itself and began to spin like a drill at Scorn. The Ultraman moved to the right as Detton just passed him. Scorn grabbed Detton’s tail and swung it around before letting go and making him go flying. Detton roared in either pain or anger as it couldn’t get a direct hit on the Ultra.

At that time, the symbol on his chest began to blink red, and Scorn knew he had to end this quickly. Just then, both of his gauntlet gems began to glow brightly. The Ultraman’s gems shined as he widened his stance, he crossed his arms, lifted them above his head, brought them the sides, and placed his left hand behind his right arm. Energy continued to gather more and more, making the gems glow brighter as they changed colours. The name, the name of his strongest attack rang in Scorn’s – in Sam’s – head as he bellowed it out.

“SEPTICIUM BEAM!”

A beam of golden light shot out, tearing up the street and buildings in its wake. The beam struck Detton with the sound of resounding thunder. The monster roared in pain as the beam continued to deal continuous damage to it, but, after another couple of seconds, the worn-like monster exploded into a fiery nothingness. Scorn quickly ceased his attack, panting as he saw that Detton had been completely destroyed, no trace remaining of the worm monster from the underground. Scorn turned around and saw that the Tiger tanks were now aiming their weapons on him but had not fired. The Cheetahs in the sky were still flying around, and no doubt ready to attack should he do anything else.

‘Better get going.’

Scorn jumped straight up, taking flight and zooming through the air. One of the Cheetahs, with the code name “Blitz” written on it, flew after Scorn. The Cheetah fighter managed to get alongside Scorn, the pilot looked in Scorn’s direction, and as she did, Scorn glanced towards the Cheetah and gave a little salute before doubling his speed and leaving the fighter in the dust. Scorn continued to fly until he vanished from sight.

As the pilot of the Cheetah brought her fighter into a hover, the voice of their Commander called out, {Space Beast eradication confirmed. Begin recovery of all fallen aircraft and personnel}
It took a few hours for the Clean-up Crew to collect the wreckage of the down Cheetahs, but thankfully there were no casualties. After all the Tigers and Cheetahs headed back to their standby positions.

Twilight, Sunset and Fluttershy had gotten back to their room after the fight between the three monsters and the ultra. Fluttershy and Twilight were very confused by what had occurred they had watched their new friend transform into a giant.

“Oh, I hope Sam is okay”, Fluttershy said as she that, the door opened, and Sam limped in holding his arm. He looked up to see the looks he was getting from his roommates.

“Heh, I got explaining to do”, he said.

“Mhm,” Sunset replied with a cocky look.
