Chapter 2: The Ancient Rampage

"what are you doing with your brother sweetie?"

"I'm teaching him how to preform a beam attack!"

"Just be careful honey you remember what happened when you preformed your beam attack."

Yeah I know, come on little guy let's practice!"

"Okay sis!"

"Kids".

Sam found themselves sitting in Commander Celestia Solstice’s office. It was spacious, a blue carpet flooring with the CAT insignia printed at the centre of the floor, a mahogany wood desk with a gold coloured name plate sitting in front, one bookshelf set off Sam’s left filled with old books and some newer ones, mostly novels, manuals, law books, and older looking books. To his right was a small trophy case showing Cat Concordia Base’s various accommodations, sports and academic victories, and some of her and Vice Commander Luna’s old glory days pictures. Behind Celestia was a window that showed the outside of the base, they were a significant ways up as Celestia could see a good amount of the base and Academy.

However, Commander Celestia wasn’t the only person in the room, the Grand Inquisitor – ahem – Vice Commander Luna, was busy giving the teen a scrutinizing look while her older sister was conveying a more stern, motherly gaze.

“What exactly were you thinking, transforming in the middle of the city like that?! And initiating combat?!” Vice Commander Luna asked.

Sam sat with his arms and legs crossed as he gave a cocky smirk. “I thought your guys could use a hand, because clearly, they were getting their asses handed to them.”

“Please watch your language, Samuel,” said Celestia.

“Sorry, but seriously, what’s the big deal? Yeah, I transformed, and in the process, I destroyed the monsters and saved the lives of every CAT agent and the civilians, you’re welcome!”

Celestia glanced towards her little sister. “She does have a point, Luna, this Terra Beasts were a bit tougher than what we usually face. Had Sam not stepped in, I fear that instead of injuries, we’d have dead bodies.”

Luna did concede the point, it was true. CAT Concordia Base prided itself with keeping civilian and combat personnel casualties to a minimum, there was no such thing as “acceptable loses”, it was why their air and land attack vehicles had strong armour and protective shielding. “I do commend you for your swift action in eliminating the Terra Beasts before it could do more harm, for that you do have my thanks.”

“On that note, Sam, I thought you said you weren’t going to transform? That you didn’t want to become that giant man version of yourself?” Celestia noted.

Sam’s smug demeanour cracked a little. “Um…well…it was a special case; I was in danger and my ride to get back to the base was smashed by some random debris. I wasn’t close to a shelter either so…you know, option B.”

Celestia raised an eyebrow but nodded at her response. “Alright, you’re dismissed then.” Sam stood up and began walking towards the door, but not before Celestia said, “Should you need to change again, you know you don’t need permission, I just ask that you use your best judgement when you do.”

The redhead stopped for a second, glanced over his shoulder, and nodded before finally he finally exited. Celestia leaned back in her chair as she smiled a little, this did not go unnoticed by her little sister.

“What’s with that grin, Sister?” Luna asked.

“He was lying,” said Celestia.

“Pardon?”

“He didn’t transform just because he felt like it, he did it to protect someone.”

Luna blinked in surprise. “What – how do you know?”

Celestia brought up a holo-screen and said, “Because I checked the records of all vehicles that were rented and taken off campus, one of which was registered to Sam, but onboard systems show that three other occupant entered the vehicle with him before leaving the campus.”

“But…why would he not say that?” Luna asked in confusion. “Is saving someone’s life truly such an embarrassing thing?”

“I think it’s having to do more with the fact that what he said and what he wants to do is conflicting with his innate sense of protection. He must’ve found something worth protecting enough to become Scorn.” Celestia stood up from her desk and peered through the window as she contemplated her next move. “I think it’s time we created that special team we were discussing.”

“You really want to create a counter measure team centred around that boy? Tia, we still don’t know who or what he really is! For all we know, he could be a far bigger threat than the Elemental Beasts themselves!” Luna argued.

“That may very well be the case.”

“Then–!”

“But, that is precisely why I believe that a circle of friends, of comrades, can make all the difference in the world.”

Luna sighed as she joined her big sister, gazing at the rising moon together. “But a group of first years…?”

“A group of exceptionally talented first years.”

Just then the telephone rang. Luna picked it up, talked a little and hung up.

“Who was that?” Celestia asked.

“It was Igneous Rock Pie”, Luna replied, “He says that his men found an ancient eggs in the Ore Mines”.

[Dormitory Alpha, 8:30 pm]

Sam stood before his dorm room door, he swiped his hand over the pad, activating the holographic display to show the current occupant of the room. Fluttershy and Twilight’s name showed up, and Sam sighed in response. When Sam became Scorn, he managed to clear the rubble that confined them, allowing the three girls to slip away unharmed. Now though, he wasn’t sure how Twilight and Fluttershy would react to them after seeing such a strange thing.

“One of them might’ve locked me out after what happened… no they can’t Sunset’s not in… but guess I should knock anyway…”

The redhead gently rapped his knuckles against the door, ‘doubtful that Twilight or Fluttershy would answer. And would they? They just saw me transform into a 50-meter-tall man who can shoot energy beams from her hands!’

The door quickly flung open and, without warning, Fluttershy grabbed a hold of Sam and dragged him inside the room, shutting the door quickly behind them. Before Sam could properly react, Fluttershy threw Sam into Twilight and the two of them quickly embraced him, making the redhead blush from the contact.

“We’re so glad you’re alright!” Twilight exclaimed.

Sam was caught off guard. “You…You are?”

Twilight and Fluttershy separated themselves from Sam to look at him with an incredulous gaze. “Of course, we are! The last thing we saw was you flying off into the distance, we didn’t know if you were hurt or if you died or…or what?!” Twilight looked at Sam, who had a dumbfounded expression. “Sam, you are alright, right?”

“Huh, oh, yeah – Yeah! I am, it’s just I’m surprised is all. You’re not afraid or at all weirded out by me?” Sam asked.

Twilight rubbed the back of her head nervously while Fluttershy rubbed her arm. “In all honesty we were afraid when you first changed, but then when we saw what you became, and what you did, our fear just left! I was filled with curiosity more than anything! Until Sunset dragged us away to safety. Which reminds me!” Twilight grabbed Sam’s wrist and dragged him into the living room, sitting him down on the couch. She ran into her room and returned a few seconds later with a laptop, sitting down next to Sam and looking at her with wide expecting eyes. Fluttershy sat down at the other end of the couch. “Please tell me how you did that?! How do you manipulate – or break – the Law of Conservation of Mass?! Comparing your size now to what you were then, and what about your skin, you did take several blasts of fire to your body, and blows from a mace, so it doesn’t appear that there was any lasting physical damage–!”

“Whoa now, hold up!” Sam interrupted, placing his hands in the air in a stopping motion. “One question at a time, please.”
Twilight blushed as she began playing with one of her bangs, Fluttershy chuckled a bit. “S-S-Sorry, I was just really excited, especially when it comes to scientific phenomenon I sometimes ramble off questions and…sorry.”

Sam chuckled at how apologetic Twilight was. “It’s fine…but to be honest…I don’t quite know how or why either.”

“You don’t know?” Fluttershy asked.

“I know that I can transform, and,” Sam raised his arms up, revealing the gauntlets, “that these things, the Ultra-Gauntlets, helps me to do it. Along with these.”

A belt appeared around Sam’s waist, and on his right hip was a container. Sam opened the container and took out both coins, both depicting the images of Ultraman Gaia and Ultraman.

“May I?” Twilight asked.

Sam shrugged and placed the coins in Twilight’s hand.

Twilight examined the first coin that had Ultraman Gaia, the coin itself seemed to be made of some type of gold metal, on the bottom of the coin was a small crystal, while the top had the art piece of Gaia. Twilight examined the Ultraman coin and found a similar crystal beneath it as well. She motioned for Sam to bring his arms over, and Sam did. Once in hand, Twilight could see, where the slots for the coins, the crimson gems on the gauntlets could open up and Twilight could where they would go.

“I see, these coins must possess some kind of energy. The crystals act as a way to release that energy into the device and into the central sun crystal on your device, which is what triggers your transformation,” Twilight remarked.

Sam took back the coins and placed them back into the container. “That’s not the only thing. Fluttershy could go get a Spark Doll from my room and the Monster Summoner, please.”

Fluttershy went into Sam’s room and came back with a device that sort of resembled a phone and a Spark Doll that looked like a skeletal dinosaur.

Sam placed the Doll on the scanner. Once it was done, the Doll disappeared. Sam aimed the top of the device at an area and fired a stream of white energy out and the monster appeared in front of them.

The monster seemed really shy as it shielded his eyes form them. Sam walked up to him and patted his head.
“Hey Seabozu, no need to be afraid,” Sam gently spoke, “these are my friends, they won’t hurt you”.

Seabozu looked up at Sam and then to the girls. Seabozu was a very shy monster but was also very friendly and protective. Not long after the first invasion, a Seabozu was spotted playing with some children, and when an evil alien appeared the Seabozu protected the children.

Seabozu walked up to Twilight and Fluttershy he could see the won’t dangerous as Fluttershy started to pet him.
“Oh my goodness,” Fluttershy cooed, “he’s so gentle”. Seabozu groaned at the Fluttershy’s kind words. Twilight was a little taken aback from Seabozu’s roar. Just then Sunset walked into the room.

“I back!” She called out, Seabozu turned to look at Sunset and ran up to her, “oh, I see you missed me buddy”.

Twilight stared at Seabozu snuggling up to Sunset. “Do you know each other or…?” She asked.

“Yeah actually,” Sunset said, “me and Sam saved him from a Kemur Man”.

Twilight smiled as she said, “quick question, are you okay with having a roommate that’s a total nerd, likes science, mathematics, chemical, and mechanical engineering to the point that it’s almost bordering weirdness, likes anime and comics, and has an unhealthy fear of quesadillas and ladybugs?”

The other three shook their heads before Sam started to snicker, “Wait, you’re afraid of quesadillas and ladybugs?”

Twilight puffed out her cheeks in indignation, “The ladybugs are my big brother’s fault! He told me that the black spots are extra eyes that watch my every move!”

“But you know they’re not, right?”

“A phobia is by its definition is an irrational fear, so, do I logically know that that’s factually incorrect and that the black spots are just spots? Yes. However, will I still scream in terror and possibly run away at the sight of one? Yes.”

Sunset smirked. “Uh-huh, and the quesadillas?”

Twilight’s left eye twitched as she shuttered. “Soooooo…cheesy…”

The girls giggled a little at Twilight’s reaction, Sam was trying not to burst out laughing and Seabozu was laughing on the ground (the thought of a girl running away in fear of a harmless insect and one of his favourite meals was a funny scene). “Okay, then if we’re agreed to put up with each other’s neurotic tendencies, then I don’t have a problem.” Sunset extended her right hand forward, Twilight, Fluttershy and Sam did the same.

Twilight smiled and shook Sunset’s hand. “It’s agreed, Roomies.” The nerdy girl let out a squeal of delight. “I’ve always wanted to say that!”

‘This is going to be an interesting time here,’ Seabozu thought.

[Ore Mines, 9:05 pm]

Meanwhile at the Ore Mines, some miners had discovered a giant egg while digging. Igneous Rock Pie, the one in charge of the mining, had contacted CAT Academy for them to take a look. Within 35 minutes, Cheetah Jet could be heard flying over head as the miners moved the egg out from the mine. Four jets landed, one of which had the code named “Blitz” on it, as three girls and one guy jumped out.

“Captain Spitfire,” Igneous greeted the team, “thank you for coming”.

“So what’s the problem here?” Spitfire asked.

“This giant egg was in our way of mining,” Igneous said pointing to the egg, “we did know was to do with it so I contacted you to see what could be done about it”.

Captain Spitfire examine it, it was rather large so they couldn’t carry it. She got out her HoloPad and called Celestia.

“Captain Spitfire called Commander Celestia, come in Commander,” She called, before a hologram of Celestia appeared.

“Go ahead Captain,” Celestia replied.

“Commander, the egg is bigger than we thought,” Spitfire reported, “what should we do?”

“Well it’s getting rather late, we’re try and sort it out in the morning”, Celestia told her, “for now head home”.

“Aw come on commander,” called out the rainbow haired girl.

“That’s and order Rainbow Dash”.

“Fine, sorry commander,” Rainbow muttered.

The four piolets then turned back to the jets before flying back to the base. Igneous had told his men to turn in for the night, the egg was left alone, and no one knew that a crack had formed.

[Dormitory Alpha, Room 121, 1:12 am]

Sunset, Twilight and Fluttershy were sound asleep in the beds dreaming happily however Sam wasn’t. He was struggling to sleep, images flashed in his head as Sam shifted in his bed. In his dream, he was fighting a dark Ultrawoman who was overpowering him.

Sam was sweating as in his dream the evil Ultra slashed her claws on his face, Sam tossed to the left. The evil Ultra roundhouse kicked his right, Sam turned to the right. The evil Ultra then charged up her beam attack and fired it as Sam causing him to explode, Sam then shot up from his bed panting heavily. He turned to his left to see if he woke up Fluttershy, but she was peacefully fast asleep.

Sam sighed and got up; he felt his bed which was damp from his sweat.

‘Fuck,’ he thought, ‘I going to have to sleep in the living room’.

Sam went into the bathroom and splashed water in his face to try and wake himself up.

“Mother of Ultra,” he explained, “what a nightmare”.

“Not a nightmare my friend, but a vision from my past”, said a voice, Sam whipped his head around but saw no one. He then turned back to the mirror and saw standing in front of him was a holographic projection of Ultraman Scorn.

“WHAT IN THE HELL!?” Sam near-shouted, before slapping his hands over his mouth. He peaked into the bedroom to see if he woke up Fluttershy that time, to his luck Fluttershy was still asleep. Sam slowly closed the bathroom door. “How on this sweet earth, are you able to do that?” Sam asked in a near-whisper tone, Scorn just watched him trying not to giggle.

“Don’t worry Sam,” scorn assured him, “no one but you can see or hear me. I’m a hologram”.

“Ok,” Sam could only say.

“And as for you nightmare, it wasn’t a nightmare but visions from my past”, Scorn expressed.

“You past?” Sam replied in wonder, “who was that you were fighting?”

Scorn paused before answering, “My sister, Ultrawoman Cataclysm”.

“Oh” was all could say as he could see that this was a touchy topic for Scorn.

“Sam,” Scorn said calmly, “you and I have a few things in common you know”.

“We do?” Sam asked confused a bit.

“Yes, that’s why I chose you on that day”, Scorn said reliving the day where he saved Sam, Sunset, Celestia and Luna from a Dada alien. “Sam, you need to accepted my power if we are going to stop this evil and prevent a second invasion”.

Sam could only agree but was worried at first. “Okay let’s do this”.

After that Sam went into the living room and turned the sofa inside out into a bed, got the bed covers and pillow and fell asleep. Ultraman Scorn looked down on his host, he was happy that Sam had finally accepted him but was worry about his safety as he looked out the window.

“I hope you listening Aunt Elysian,” he called out, “I just want to say I may need you help in the near-future”. He said before disappearing into particles.

[Ore Mines, 12:23 pm]

Captain Spitfire and her squad of Jets flew over the city to the Ore Mines to collect the egg. Once there, her team started to tie up the egg to the jets. However no one knew that the crack had gotten bigger.

“Right I’ll be flying at the front”, Spitfire ordered, “Fleetfoot, Soarin, I want you two carry the egg from the front”.

“Yes ma’am,” the two said before walking to their jets.

“Cloudchaser, Flitter, I want you two at the back of the egg”.

“Right ma’am,” the two sisters ran off to their jets.

“And Rainbow Dash, you’ll be flying in the back to keep an eye on the egg”.

Rainbow huffed as she went to her jet. Soon the six cheetahs were in the air, transporting the egg to CAT Academy.

“You’ve got to be joking”, said a man down on the ground with blue hair and moustache.

“When my friend said an egg was high, I thought she mean the city in Colorado not that,” said a woman with pink hair.

At first Rainbow wasn’t really paying attention to the egg, but once she noticed the crack in the egg, she was getting a little nervous.

“Cloudchaser, Flitter do you see the crack in the egg?” Rainbow radioed her fellow piolets.

“I see it,” Flitter responded with terror in the voice, “what about you, sis?”

“I see it too,” Cloudchaser replied before contacting Spitfire, “Captain, we may have a problem”.

“What is it private,” Captain Spitfire asked, but before Cloudchaser could answer, a roar could be heard all the way from the Ore Mines as monster rose up from the ground. The monster itself was beige with spikes on it’s body, and whips for hands.

The monster started to walk after the Jets, flicking its whips as it stomped through the city.

“Crap,” Spitfire muttered, just then the egg started to rock making the Cheetah off balance. “What’s happening now?!” She cried out to her team.

“The egg is hatching”, Flitter yelled in panic. She was right, the egg broke in half and a monster fell out and landed on the ground. The monster seemed to be back to front because its head was on the ground, it was pink and green, and it didn’t had any arms or legs.

“Double crap”, Spitfire muttered again.

[C. A. T Academy, 12:26 pm]

At the same time, Sam, Sunset, Fluttershy and Twilight sat together in the lunchroom, the red-haired boy was still a little tired about what had happened last night and was trying to stay awake. The three girls had noticed that Sam was a bit quiet this morning.

“Are you ok, Sam?” Twilight asked.

“Yea, it’s not like you to be so quiet,” Sunset retorted.

“Oh sorry girls,” Sam replied, “I’m just really tried that’s all”.

“Sam, I’m your cousin, I know when something is bothering you,” Sunset explained patting Sam on the back.

Sam turned away from the girls and looked to see Holo-Ultraman Scorn giving him a nod of the head. “Well, I just had a bad dream last night. But it wasn’t just a nightmare, I think it was a vision.”

The girls looked at Sam with looks of concern before embracing him in a group hug. Sam then started to tell them what happened in the dream and what Ultraman Scorn said.

“Wow I never knew it was that bad,” Twilight remarked.

“What was worse was that it was someone close to Scorn,” Sam said down-casted.

“Who was the evil Ultra?” Fluttershy asked.

“It was his sister, Ultrawoman Cataclysm”, Sam told them.

The gasped in shock, but before anyone could answer, the alarm sounded and grabbed everyone’s attention.

{WARNING: Two Terra Beast detected entering Earth’s atmosphere, all personnel, report to battle stations immediately. Repeat–}

“Seriously, another monster attack?!” Sunset shouted.

“Two to be correct,” Twilight corrected.

“And their Terra Beasts so they’ll be pretty strong!” Fluttershy commented.

“Come on let’s go!” Sam explained, shooting up from his seat.

The Twilight and Fluttershy were a bit confused by Sam and Sunset running out the lunchroom but soon started to run after them.

A few miles away, a dozen Tiger tanks poured into the streets ready to fire upon the monsters. Up above the Cheetah’s went to hover, awaiting the inventible arrival and waiting for the monsters to come closer to each other. The monsters roared at each other at they closed the distance between them.

Sam and the girls were in a CAT car code named: The House Cat, and where driving to the city to see what monsters they were dealing with.

“Ok Fluttershy you a generous when it comes to monsters,” Sam said while keeping his eye on the roar.

“The beige monster is Gudon and the upside door one is Twin Tail”, Fluttershy said while watching the monsters brawl.
“Any reason why they more focused on each other rather than the city?” Sunset asked.

“Gudon is Twin Tail’s natural predator”.

“That’s explains why Gudon biting Twin Tail”, Sam remarked.

Sam was right. Gudon had managed to hold Twin Tail still a had started biting down on it. Twin Tail whipped Gudon in the face causing him to let go as Twin Tail sank his teeth into Gudon’s leg.

The Cheetah squadrons flew, opening fire on the Terra Beasts in teams of three, however, they only seemed to bother the monsters. Gudon shot a fire ball out his mouth and the nearest Cheetah, luckily the Cheetah dodged it, striking the nearby buildings around it.

The Cheetahs broke off as the Tigers began unloading their plasma cannons at the monsters. While these attacks did nothing to Gudon’s tough hide, Twin Tail was weaker as one blast shot him in the eye, blinding its right side. The ancient creature waddled over to some tanks but was smacked to the ground, thanks to Gudon’s whips. The latter then started to dig underground. All CAT forces were on high alert as the searched for the monster, but they didn’t have to look long as it seemed to jump and swatted three Cheetahs out of the sky with its whips, Twin Tail managed to get up from the ground and latched onto Gudon’s tail, making it roar in fury, and start attacking its prey again. When Gudon whipped Twin Tail, the latter let out a deafening roar that shattered the Cheetahs’ shields.

{This is Spitfire, that thing just took out our shields, we’re sitting ducks up here!}

{Flash Magnus to Tiger units, aim towards the sky, try to get these things’ attentions away from the Cheetah!}

The Tiger tanks began opening fire straight into the sky, thankfully, most of their blasts hit around the monsters, making them turn their attentions back on them. From its aerial vantage, Gudon shot three fireballs straight down on the Goliath tanks, the explosions rang out through the city, shattering glass and melting what wasn’t protected by the shields. The tanks began to fall back, but they did manage to give the Cheetah’s time to retreat. And one lucky blast from a Tiger shot Twin Tail’s other eye out making it blind.

{Seriously! This is the second tough as hell monster we’ve had to fight, and it’s only be a day!} Rainbow exclaimed.

{Keep it together Dash, we gotta keep this thing from ramapagin’! If it keeps this up, the Shelters won’t be able to take it!} a western voice stated.

As Rainbow’s Cheetah was about to get away, when one of the blind Twin Tail’s twin tails smacked Rainbow’s Cheetah out of the sky.

Goliath stopped it’s driver viewed her screen her girlfriend’s fighter falling out the sky. {REQUESTIN’ SUPPORT! THE MONSTER HAS ONE OUR FIGHTERS!}

Gudon watched as the fighter flew off out the city with some small amount of intrigue, while Rainbow Dash was trying to keep herself under control, she watched as the ground got nearer and nearer.

‘Guess my life ends here…’

Sam and the girls stood out of the car; they were all staring into the distance in silence at the numerous explosions going off. And all watched as the Cheetah flew closer to the ground. The egghead turned to Sam and asked, “You’re not going to go fight?”

“I don’t know…I seriously don’t know what I’m supposed to do!” Sam exclaimed. “My body feels this urge to just run towards that fight, but…”

“But what?” Fluttershy asked.

Sam hugged himself as he said, “I’m scared…it’s not the first time I’ve transformed…but each time I do, I’m afraid I’ll lose part of myself. Or, what if…what if I become a bigger threat than the monsters that are attacking?! I have no memories about my real past, for all I know, I could be here to destroy the world?!”

Sunset moved closer to Sam and placed her hands on her cousin’s shoulders. “I don’t believe that, I've known you the longest and if that were true, you wouldn’t have saved us. You wouldn’t have stayed by our side the whole time we were trying to get to the Shelter. So, I know, you’re not evil.”

Sam glanced at Sunset with scepticism, then Twilight, and then Fluttershy. “How can you say that? I’ve barely known you two a day!”

“Because…well…isn’t trusting in your friends something that friends do? Even if they don’t believe in themselves?” Fluttershy explained.

The red-haired boy stared at his friend with a stunned expression. “You really trust me that much?”

“I want to, and I’m willing to trust you. And that’s why I know, the guy who rescued us yesterday, that’s the Samuel Metters I know, I trust in the you that I believe in!” Twilight expressed.

Sam’s face split into a wide grin as he laughed out loud, causing Twilight to blush. “Did…hahaha…Did you just-just quote that old ass mecha anime?!”

Twilight fidgeted with her bangs as she looked around at nothing in particular. “It seemed appropriate in the moment…”

Sam went into another round of laughter, which eventually made Twilight’s face evolve from embarrassed to pouty. After finally catching his breath, Sam ruffled Twilight’s hair as he said, “Damn, after a line that corny, I’m kinda pumped now.” Sam motioned for the girls to move back. “Thanks, Twi.”

Twilight nodded as she smiled and took a few more steps back.

Sam raised up her left arm and the coin slots opened up, and in the next second, he was engulfed in light and transported to the starry world.

“Lend me your power, Ultraman!”

{ULTRAMAN}

“Lend me the will of the earth, Gaia!”

{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 HE smashed his fists together, causing red and gold energy to spiral around him.

{RISE ULTRAMAN SCORN SPECIUM PHOTON!}

Ultraman Scorn rose up and then just as quickly flew off in the direction of Rainbow’s falling fighter. Rainbow shielded her eyes from the blighting light and expected the clash however there was none. As she uncovered her eyes, she noticed that she had stopped falling and saw that Ultraman Scorn had caught her. Scorn nodded to her in which she gave him a thumbs up in return. Scorn gently placed her down on the ground then shot off into the sky to fight the monsters.

As Gudon stomped over to the blind Twin Tail, it looked up to see Scorn flying down to him. Acting fast, Scorn’s gauntlet gems glowed blue, as he yelled, “SCOLDING STREAM!”

Gudon was then blindsided by a powerful scolding hot water that sent the monster falling backwards. Scorn landed on the ground with a thunderous boom, quickly running over to Twin Tail and giving it a kick. The giant of light noticed that Twin Tail was blind, so he decided to put it out of its misery. The gems on his gauntlet started to glow white as Sam pulled out a card with an Ultra on it and scan it on his right gauntlet.

“ULTRASEVEN WIDE SHOT!” Scorn yelled as he fired a golden beam from his right arm at Twin Tail destroying the monster in one blow. A bright light from where Twin Tail once stood, flew towards Scorn and went into his colour timer, Sam caught the light as it changed to a Spark Doll of said monster. Gudon recovered from the attack, releasing an angry roar as it fired off another fireball. Without turned around Sam raised out his arm and caught the fireball, breaking it in his palm.

Just as Scorn turned around, Gudon was running up to him with a whip raised. Scorn tried to bloke it, but the pain was unbearable when the whip crashed down. Scorn charged towards Gudon, but Gudon wrapped on of it whips around Scorn’s neck, the ancient monster continued to smack it free whip at Scorn, as he tried to break free.

Scorn struggled to break free from Gudon’s grasp until Sam pull out another Ultra Card with a different Ultra on it and shouted, “ULTRAMAN MAX MAXIMUM SWORD!”

A slash of light shot from Scorn’s head, cutting right through the whip and one of Gudon’s horns before returning to Scorn’s head and disappearing. Enraged, Gudon whipped Scorn in the stomach, followed by a headbutt, making him stumble backwards. Scorn recovered and threw a roundhouse kick, catching Gudon in the side of its head and made it slam into a building. The giant picked up the severed whip and dashed towards Gudon and slammed the whip on the body through the building right on top of him.

Gudon got up and fired a fire ball, hitting Scorn in the chest making sparks fly from his chest. Scorn was getting irritated with this monster. Both of Scorn’s gauntlet gems began to glow white. He then raised his arms and open his palms as a light shone in both open palms, Scorn gripped the light with his right hand, transmuting it into full fledge material weapon. The weapon was a sword of some sort, it was gold with symbols on both sides, and was half the size of Scorn.

“Harmony Blade!” Scorn called out as he ran towards Gudon.

The Terra Beast brought up its left whip, but as Scorn grew closer, the blade’s diamond symbol shined purple. With one slash, Scorn cut through the whip, causing sparks to fly as a stream of white light was left in the wake of the slash. Scorn slashed again, forming an X pattern and forcing Gudon to fall back.

On the ground, The Tiger had driven up to Rainbow’s fighter as she disembarked and hurried to her friend’s fighter. The rainbow haired girl was being helped out by Twilight, Sunset and Fluttershy.

“Dash are ya’ll alright?!” she asked.

“A little bruised, but I’ll live,” Rainbow Replied.

“Thanks to Scorn”, Sunset added.

“Thank you for helping Dashie out,” the southern girl addressed.

“It’s ok,” Twilight insisted, “by the way, what’s your name?”

The new girl tipped her hat and replied, “I’m Applejack.”

Meanwhile, Gudon was panicking as both its whips were gone, without its whips, Gudon was useless.

‘Right, time to finish this!’ Sam thought as Scorn lodged his blade into the ground.

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.

“SEPTICIUM BEAM!”

Scorn fired his beam attack straight for Gudon. Scorn released a loud battle cry just as his Septicium Ray pierced through Gudon, completely annihilating Gudon in the wake of a huge explosion.

The Ultra Warrior cut off his attack and took a deep breath. A bright light from where Gudon was flew into Scorn's blinking Colour Timer, Sam reached out and caught it as it turned into a Gudon Spark Doll. "Welcome to the family you two," Sam muttered as The Harmony Blade disappeared into atoms and Scorn took to the skies.

[C.A.T. Academy, the next day…]

Sam seemed antsy this morning, at least that’s what Twilight, Sunset and Fluttershy could tell. The four of them were called into the Commander’s office, but Twilight wasn’t sure for what exactly. Part of her wondered if it was because of Sam’s transformation, had she broken some kind of rule between them about doing that at school.

“Sam I just want you to know, I’ll take full responsibility! I was the one who forced you to go out and fight that monster yesterday and–!”

“Whoa, whoa, slow down. First off: you didn’t make me do anything. You just helped me to make up my mind. Second: whatever punishment – if any – she gives me, I’ll take it. Besides, I’m not apologizing for monster busting and saving some lives.” Sam interrupted.

The three girls and boy continued down the hall but stopped when they noticed Rainbow and Applejack standing outside the office. Applejack spotted the two of them and smiled as she waved them down, “Sunset, Twilight, Fluttershy, what brings y’all over here?”

“We were called by Commander Celestia, what brings you here?” Twilight asked.

“Same, not sure why, but we’re probably guessin’ that it was because of that how we weakened the monsters yesterday for Ultraman Scorn. But, to tell ya the truth, Ah don’t regret it one bit.” Applejack placed her hands on her hips as she proudly said, “Anyone or anything that went through all that to save Dashie here can’t be all that bad.”

Sam and Rainbow blushed.

“Anyway, we never got you name”, Rainbow spoke to Sam.

Sam held out his hand. “Name’s Samuel Metters, yours?”

Rainbow grinned and shook Sam’s hand as she said, “Rainbow Danger Dash, but you can call me Rainbow or just Dash, whichever.”

“Not going to introduce your girlfriend?” Sam asked smirking.

Rainbow blushed as she looked at Applejack.

“I’m Applejack, or you can call me AJ for short,” Applejack answered.

“Nice to meet you two”, Sam replied.

“Making more girlfriends are we?” A new voice had joined their conversation, all six students turned their heads in the direction of the new voice. Walking down the opposite hall was the girl that Sam had saw who made some elegant alterations to the uniform, followed behind her was Pinkie Pie from their biology class, and right alongside her were two girls one had silver hair and a smirk on her face and the other had purple hair with a cyan streak through it and a rather nervous smile. “After finally getting these two to confess to each other, I shan’t have anyone break apart this relationship!”
“Am I invisible or something?” Sam asked sarcastically.

“Oh no Darling, I just didn’t see”, the girl replied.

“I’m the only boy here”, Sam retorted.

“Rarity, we’re not in a relationship,” Rainbow scoffed as she hooked an arm over Applejack shoulder. “Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Sam Metters, this here’s some friends of ours.”

The girl with sapphire eyes and curled, silky violet hair walked up and said, “Rarity Belle, a pleasure to meet you.”

The other girl, with bright pink, bouncy, curly hair, and had pins of ice cream and other cute mascot characters decorating the lapels of her blazer, walked up to both Twilight and Sunset and shook their hands simultaneously at a rapid pace. Which ended up with their hair getting dishevelled and Twilight’s glasses going crooked.

“Hi, I’m Pinkamena Diane Pie, but everyone calls me Pinkie Pie!” she explained.

The girl behind her were a lot calmer than Pinkie, though one did seem a bit nervous while the other was a bit smugger.

“Hi there, I’m Starlight Glimmer, it’s really nice to meet you all,” the purple haired girl said.

“And I am the Great and Powerful Trixie and I am fearless when it comes to fighting aliens”, the silver haired girl expressed.

“Really?” Rainbow chuckled, “You ran away in terror after see a Kanegon”.

“Be quiet Rainbow Dash”, Trixie scoffed.

“Anyway, what’re you guys doing here?” Sunset asked.

“Same as you I suppose, we got a summons from Commander Celestia and now we’re here,” said Rarity.

Now Twilight, Sunset, Fluttershy and Sam were confused, they were sure it may have had something to do with Sam changing into Scorn, but with all ten of them here, they didn’t know what the reason was. After a minute the doors to the Commander’s office opened, Vice Commander Luna was on the other side and ushered them inside. Once inside, the girls and boy stood at attention and saluted the Commanders.

“At ease girls and Sam, and you can relax a little, I assure you all that the reason for you coming her isn’t for disciplinary reasons,” Celestia assured.

While they did release a sigh of relief, it still didn’t dispel their unease for why they were called in.

“As you all know, the last forty-eight hours have seen five monster attacks back to back. Such a thing hasn’t occurred in many years, even before my sister and I were children. Now, we may be facing an increase in frequency of attacks in the future, and we need to do something about it.”

Rarity raised her hand and Celestia nodded to her. “Pardon me, Commander Celestia, but can I assume correctly that our presence here is correlated to that ‘something’?”

“Indeed, it is.” Vice Commander Luna answered. “As of right now, you seven are to be given Special Agent status, which means you will be called upon to assist or even head – depending on the circumstances – investigations into alien activity, and combat against the Elemental Beasts.”

“Each of you has shown promise in one field or another. Miss Belle with her innovation in combat gear, making the materials lighter, flexible, and even more durable under fire.”

Rarity blushed a little.

“Miss Shy, you have been touted by some of the biology professors as quite knowledgeable when it comes to Elemental Beast and xeno-animal mannerisms and behaviours, as well as a proficiency in the medical side for both.”

Fluttershy smiled, but still hid behind her bangs.

“Rainbow Dash and Applejack Apple, two of the youngest, and proficient pilots in our Cheetah and Tiger units. Your captains speak highly of not only your skills, but your brashness and sometimes flagrant disregard for protocol.”

Both girls rubbed the back of their heads with embarrassment and pride.

“Pinkie Pie, your ability to connect with all those around you, even with other alien races and bring them to a table, such diplomatic skill is greatly needed in our changing times.”

The pink haired girl beamed and saluted.

“Starlight and Trixie, you’re both loyal and determined to get the job done, and even start up to the face of danger”.
Both girls smiled at that though Trixie wore her smile with pride.

“Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, you two tested higher in the fields of physics, mechanical engineering, chemistry, and astronomy than any other candidate thus far.”

At this, Sunset stood at attention.

“You do have quite the attitude at times, you can be harsh, and a bit lazy at times.”

Sam’s expression became deadpan as the other girls snickered a little.

“But…despite this, you are loyal, fierce, kind, unwavering when it comes to what you believe and always jump in putting you own life at risk. And, might I add, proficient in hand-to-hand and weapons combat along with Sunset Shimmer.”

Sam blushed at the praise but managed to keep her composure and gave his cousin a high-five. Vice Commander Luna walked up to each of them, taking off their school crest and replacing them with a new one. This one featured a pair of silver crossed swords, it was slight change and one that wouldn’t be noticed unless someone was deliberately looking right at it. “These new crests acknowledge you as Special Agents and can be called on for different field operations or projects that CAT is conducting. They are waterproof and can resist intense cold and heat, so you needn’t worry about putting them in wash and having them destroyed. We will have a few more made up to replace the crests in your wardrobes, for now I suggest interchanging them.”

“Sweet!” Rainbow commented.

“Commander Celestia, exactly what kind of operations will we be assigned to?” Twilight asked.

“Mostly, it will be ones that are centred around Ultraman Scorn.” Sam and the girls all gave Celestia their undivided attention. “As of today, he is designated an ally of CAT. But I get the feeling that he may need some help considering the strength of the enemy yesterday.”

Sam grumbled and whispered under her breath, “Damn teleporting bug!”

“So, we are currently working on improvements to the Cheetah and Tiger that Miss Apple and Dash pilot, and if you wish Miss Sparkle, you can look over the designs and schematics to see what improvements can be made,” said Commander Celestia.

Twilight’s eyes grew wide and practically sparkled as she heard this. “R-Really! I can give design input and recommend changes?!”

“Whatever you believe can make their vehicles give Scorn an edge.”

Applejack and Rainbow slung their arms over Twilight’s shoulders as they smiled at the nerdy girl.

“I got a few ideas of what you can change on mine,” said Rainbow.

“Ah think we should get together after class and go into more detail about what meh Tiger could use,” said Applejack.
“Oh! New vehicles could mean new clothing, a complete overhaul of the pilot suits! Oooooh, this will be exciting!” Rarity squealed in delight.

“Whether you tell your fellow classmates or not is up to you. Of course, this means you will be exempt from certain activities and given extensions for certain assignments, you are all dismissed, except for Mr, Metters.”

Twilight hesitated a moment, but Sam nodded for her to go and join the rest of the girls. Once alone, Sam sighed and said, “So, I’m guessing you think I need help?”

“Not help, comrades.” Celestia corrected. “Sam, I see it in your eyes. You’ve made the decision to fight and I won’t stop you, however, I would like it if you not only help in battling the Elemental Beasts, but also receive help in that endeavour. And I believe these girls will help you.”

Sam had to admit, they were a strange bunch, an animal lover, a fashionista, a farm girl, a sports girl, a party girl, a cute nerdy girl, an air-headed magician and anti-evil expert. “I could do worse, but, aren’t you going to tell them that I’m Ultraman Scorn?”

Celestia stood from her desk and walked around it to stand before Sam, she then placed her hand on his shoulder gently and said, “I believe that is your decision, it is not mine to make for you. If you trust them, it’d be better to tell them.”

Sam smiled a little. “I’ll think about it.”

“Good, also.” On cue, Luna opened her HoloPad and brought up a holographic display of the veranda where Sam had transformed. The camera footage showed Twilight, Sunset and Fluttershy there, and then a flash of light around Sam before she zoomed off into the distance. “Please be more aware of your surroundings, Sam, you’re lucky we caught that and erased the footage.”

Sam blushed and face palmed himself, he couldn’t believe he had gotten caught like that.

“I’ll give you a list of some the camera blind spots around campus so that if needed you can transform in these locations, but please keep them to yourself. Well then, let me make this official then.” Celestia held out her hand smiled. “I look forward to working with you, Sam – rather – Scorn.”

Sam shook Celestia’s hand gave cocky grin of affirmation. The whole time, however, Luna seemed sceptical of this alliance.

A woman, or what looked like a woman, stood on a bridge. her body was wrapped in black dress, with red markings. She wore black leggings in red high-heels with dark pink highlights. Her face beautiful with blonde hair with a pink streak running through it, however her eyes yellow while her iris’ were pink. Before her floated a violet coloured crystal, which displayed a kind of recording of Ultraman Scorn defeating Detton, Magular, Angross and, more recently, Gudon and Twin Tail.

The woman gripped the railing of the bridge with a hand with sharp, violet nails.

“It would appear he has returned. I see that, it will not be a problem,” said the shadow woman.

“I wasn’t sure the first time, but now he is back. The Ultras are spread thinly and will not be able to render too much aid to this planet. However, we must act cautiously, one Ultra Warrior is already a problem. Have a little faith in my power, I will strike again.”

“Watch out little brother, your big sister is coming”, she laughed before disappearing into a dark portal.

[Land of Light]

“Elysian,” called a deep voice.

“What is it Taro?” Replied Elysian.

“I fear that on Earth S-74 your nephew is going to be in trouble”.

“Oh dear”.

“I request that you summon you students and talk to them”.

“Ok I’ll do it. Is there anything else you would like Taro?”

“Not at the moment, me and my Ultra Brother will keep you updated”.

“Very well. Please hang in there, my child.”
