Ultraman Tiga: The Equestrian Hero

Ultraman Tiga Chapter 4

The Devil's Prophecy

Intro Theme: Take me Higher

It was the dog days of summer in Equestria. A few weeks from the running of the leaves, and before Apple Jack and her family would start the final harvest of the season.In a field outside of Ponyville, several ponies and a single human lay or sat down on a checkered picnic clothe in the mid day sun. Despite the scorching heat, it seemed to bother them little, and surely did not spoil their meal.

Rarity levitated her tea to her lips and took a small sip. "My, the day is just gorgeous! Just absolutely wonderful. A much needed break from all that rain we've had these past few days,"

Cory and Twilight picked at the cherries. Cory would eye one and determine whether or not they seemed suitabole for eating, and would throw away ones that were far too soft or had rotten parts of their flesh. Rainbow Dash just laid in the sun with a pair of sunglasses covering her eyes. while Pinkie and AppleJack helped themselves to the food they all brought. Fluttershy was napping underneath a nearby tree. She had been up most of the night helping a small family of field mice that were displaced by a Timber wolf. Either way, there did not seem to be a thing in the world that could possibly ruin this day.

"Couldn't have agreed with you more Rarity,hey Twilight! I wanted that one." He smirked and lightly punched her shoulder. Twilight giggled and levitated one into his hand.

"Um, do ya'll hear somethin?" Apple jack heard what sounded to be the pitter patter of small feet in the grass. ure enough it was Spike. he carried a scroll in one hand

"Its a letter from Cadence." He handed Twilight the scroll. She quickly read through it, the rolling it back up when she was finished. "Oh no," she near whispered.

"Whats it say?" Pinkie asked with a mouthful of pie. Twilight moved the scroll out of her sight, "Princess Cadence needs our help in Canterlot immediately."

Rainbow Dash sat up with an annoyed expression plastered on her face. "What could it be this time, more monsters? Just let that Ultraguy help them out.."

"Rainbow Dash she wouldn't have written that if she didn't need our help, now lets go!"

After a lengthy train ride, the group arrived at the Royal Castle. There they met Princess Celestia, who was pacing back and forth, seeming very nervous. "Princess Celestia, Cadence said that you two needed our help, whats wrong? Are the changelings back?"

The Princess shook her head, "I'm afraid its something much worse, something far more powerful than the queen itself.

"Who could it be?" Asked RainbowDash.

"They call themselves the Kyrieloid, an evil race of demons who came here from another dimension. They planned on taking over Equestria, inhabiting it, killing all of who lived there before, like they do with all the others. I managed to send them back from where they came using the elements of harmony. But now, I feel they've somehow come back, the spell I casted must have somehow been broken." She stomped her hoof in anger, "First the elements, now my spells and magic have been weakened..."

"We knew it wouldn't last forever though," said Cadence as she entered the room with shining armor. "Cadence! Shining Armor!" Shouted Twilight ahe ran to hug them. "Twily, hows my little sister been?" Shining armor hugged back his beloved sister.

"I've been great, but wait, do you know whats going on too?" She asked.

Shining armor glanced out the window, "Yeah, I've been on full watch to make sure everything's going alright across Canterlot, we know its where they will strike first." Cadence walked over to her husband and sister in law, "This time, they plan on killing off all three of us,Me, Celestia and Luna."

"And it won't happen, not if we can help it." Cory said confidently.

"I dunno," Shining armor said, "There are already signs on there prescence, mysterious evil laughter throught the halls, and ponies reporting that they saw two legged dark shadows run across walls."

Cadence walked over to Cory with a smile, "I don't recall ever meeting you before, would you care to introduce yourself?" She said with a smile.

"Oh, um, I'm Cory, a friend of Twilight. Pleased to, meet you Princess Cadence." he said nervously.
PPoy
Cadence put a hoof over her mouth, "Very pleased to meet you as well Cory, and please, just call me Cadence."

Cory blushed slightly, "Alright, Cadence, heheh."

Shining armor walked "But anyways, that's not the worst of it, something has been greatly affecting our magic, not only us, but every unicorns ability in all of Canterlot,"

"And its getting worse," Said Princess Luna as she entered the room, "I'm more than sure that this is the Kyrieloids doing, but to our dismay, its hardly even their first step in taking over. First, they will weaken our magic, rendering us defenseless, then they will harness whats left of their own energy, and form one all might being. I'm not even sure if there is a force that can stop it..." Lunas ears flopped down slowly.

Cory howver stood strong, "There is hope, there is more than hope..."

"And how is there any help?" Asked Luna.

"Because we have Ultraman..."

"Yes" Said Twilight, "Ultraman will be here for us, I know he will."

"We can only hope that he has the strength to fight them..." Luna said as she turned to lookout the window.

"I know he can help us Princess Luna, if he could defeat Golza and Melba, then I'm sure he can at least stand a chance against them," Said Twilight confidently.

Celestia opened her eyes and looked down at her protege, "We'll have too see, as strong as we all know Ultraman is, it will not be easy, even for him."

This entire time, Cory's hand stayed in his pocket, gripping his spark lens. He could feel the power within it, just by doing so much as holding it. He would fight, even if these Kyrieloids were as powerful as he was told, he would fight to the end, no matter what.

Suddenly, they heard a deep sinister laughter echo through the hall, bouncing back and forth on the walls of the castle. "Whos there, show yourself, Kyrieloid!"

"Ahahahaha oh Celestia, how impudent you can be. It wore old already, just like your power." A shadow on the wall suddenly materialized into a huamoid figure, into the demon, Kyrieloid.

Fluttershy screamed and cowered behind Cory, shaking behind him, even Cory was slightly taken back at the sight of this gnarled being. "Well, so this is what the Kyries are up against...? How disappointing, even I expected better from you Celestia."

"Hey!" yelled RainbowDash, "Nopony insults the Princess like that!" She flew towards the being, only to have him lash out at her with equal speed, grabbing her throat and tossing the blue Pegasus with all his might against the wall, fracturing one of her wings. Tears flowed down the face from the pain.

"Rainbow!" shouted her six friends, who immediately ran to their injured friend. Kyrieloid ignored them, and faced the three Princesses and shining armor.

"Soon the Kyrie will take back what is theirs, and you ponies, shall surely meet your end, along with those who try to stop me."

"You shall all meet a mortifying defeat, at the hands of the Kyrie!" And with that, Kyrie dissipated into darkness.

Celestia and Luna said, nothing, they turned to face the group of ponies huddled around Rainbow Dash. Her wing was badly fractured, and hung loosely on her side. Tears streamed down her face.

"I'll, I'll get that, that, that thing, if its the last thing I, AHH!" Rainbow yelped as she felt a sharp pain in her wing when she tried to stand. This only put more pressure on her injury.

Twilight tried to help their wounded friend onto her feet "Oh no, it must be broken, can't you move it at all?" she asked, looking at the injured wing pensively.

"Yeah, I can but, Ow!" Rainbow Dash's body jerked from the pain that shot out from her appendage.

Shining armor looked at her wing, "It must be a fracture then, we'll get you help."

Later when taking RainbowDash was receiving, treatment, the rest of Twilight and her friends were searching through the castle library. It seemed that there was no book at all that had any information on these Kyrieloids.

AppleJack groaned, "We been searchin fer a book fer hours Twilight, there ain't no book on them Kyrie, um, What were they called again?"

"Kyrieloids?" muttered Cory as he flipped through a book, "Ugh, there isn't anything on these guys, nothing."

Twilight shuffled through a book shelf, "We've got to keep looking, if we give up right now and don't get any information on these guys, were all possibly doomed!"

Upon hearing her last sentence, Cory felt a sudden pulsation coming from his pocket where he kept the spark lens, reminding him of what he obtained. He noticed that this usually meant there was evil, or some sort of disturbance nearby. But he didn't see anything, so he ignored the pulsation.

Pinkie Pie popped her head from behind a bookshelf, "Hey, this book sounds helpful! The book on Equestrian demons, neat!"

"Let me have a look at that Pinkie," said Twilight, using her magic to float the book towards her, then flipping through the books pages, "Aha! Kyrieloids, once an ancient race of demons who once tried to rule Equestria, coming from their own dimension. However, another being came, and defeated the Kyrieloid, sending them back to their own dimension for the time being."

Twilight pondered, "That being, could it really be, Ultraman?"

"Maybe, does it say anything else?" Cory looked in for a better look.

"Not really, thats all it really says. I guess we know almost nothing about them" Said Twilight as she flipped through more pages.

All of them felt a rumble in their stomachs, it was getting late, and they all needed food. They've searched for the book for several hours.

RainbowDash was released from the hospital later that evening, her wing was in a tight sling and was not to fly for days. They all soon hunkered down at a small restaurant, they all seemed content, not once did they stop laughing from Cory telling them humorous stories of what would happen to him back in his home world, as well as a few jokes. All except for Twilight, who looked worriedly at her food.

Rarity gave Twilight a worried look, "Are you alright dear, you look ever so worried about something, what may it be?"

"Its those, those Kyries, it just seemed that well, there might not be a way to stop them if they truly to attack, and I'm just-"

"Don't worry about it! Come on, Ultraman will be here if they come, so will Celestia and Luna, don't worry." Rainbow Dash said as she chewed her sandwich.

"I know, but I can't help but worry. If the elements could be turned to stone from, who knows what can happen..."

AppleJack patted her on the back, "Don't worry, we'll all get through this fit together, now sit down and enjoy the meal, yah hardly eaten all day,"

Twilight thought a little, "Yeah, your right. Maybe I should just relaxe."

Back at the castle, both Princess Luna and Celestia watched over the city from their balcony. It seemed peaceful, and ponies were out on the beautifully lit streets, everypony was out either going to a bar, gambling, dinning, or all three. All in all, everything seemed peaceful, but they both knew that there was more to what they could see.

Luna glanced at her sister, "Seems peaceful so far, sister" then glancing back at the city.

Celestia didn't look away from the streets, "I can only help but wonder."

Twilight and AppleJack and all the others were on their backs, laughing harder than they ever had before. Cory swapped the restroom signs at the public bathrooms, a very basic trick at home, but this was entirely new to these ponies.

AppleJack slowly got up, "Whew, I reckon I never laughed that hard in my life, you sure know how to make a good prank there Sugar cube."

Twilight and the rest got up after AppleJack, Pinkie and RainbowDash had tears in their eyes from laughing so hard.

"I gotta admit Cory, your beyond awesome when your sugar hyped!" said RainbowDash, giving a knuckle punch.

"Hahaha just gotta love yah CorCor! Bathroom signs, just rich!" Pinkie Pie was still on her back laughing.

Twilight yawned deeply, "Well, its getting awfully late. Don't you guys think we should rest for the night?"

Cory stretched his arms, "Yeah, that'd be pretty nice, I guess I've had enough for the night."

"Me too," Apple Jack yawned, "I'm plum tuckered out.."

Without warning, they all heard a somewhat familiar voice. it did not sound sinister, but more like a demanding tone.

"Ponies of Canterlot, hear me now," The disembodied voice announced, "The time has come, for us Kyrie to reclaim you as ours! To reclaim this land as ours, as it rightfully is. You can give into our commands, or die refusing."

That was when Cory and his friends noticed that Luna and Celestia had landed right next to them, looking up, just looking for the Kyrie, but saw nothing.

Luna had grown tired of this "Show yourself Kyrie instead of hiding, why not face us. Truly if you were as powerful as you'd like to make your self out to be, then you'd have little trouble revealing yourself!."

She soon got a response, "Until our needs are met, you will all die a mortifying death."

"What do you mean your needs?" Princess Celestia snapped loudly.

No answer, the being was gone. Within Cory's pocket, he felt energy glow from his spark lens. The light pulsated in sync with his heartbeat. The Spark lens was now Cory's second body, his other soul. The light was now a apart of him, and without he would perish. Not yet, he told himself. If he used it now without even seeing the enemy, It'd be a waste. Next to that, blowing his cover in front of everyone would be the worst possible thing for him at the moment.

"Ponies, the flames of hell shall erupt soon, and your Canterlot will be first to go, since it is you who refused! Within less than a minute, your town will be nothing but in flames!"

"What does he mean by, flames?" quivered Fluttershy.

"Quickly, we must get out of here, come!" said Celestia. They were in the heart of the town, and knew that it is where the explosion shall occur. But there was one problem, Rainbow Dash. She was unable to keep up with them because of her injury, and she could only limp as fast as she could.

Luna flew back to help the injured Pegasus, helping her walk a little faster. There was only a matter of seconds left before the ground would literally explode. Through the crowd of running Ponies, Cory made his way into a dark alley and pulled his spark lens from his pocket. "Quickly, we must save them, TIGA!"

When Luna and Rainbow thought it was all over, a large silver hand scooped up the two ponies, placing them away from the town
square area. It was none other than the warrior of light, Ultraman Tiga.. Both Luna and Rainbow looked up towards the kyojin who had came out of nowhere in the nick of time. Tiga looked back at them, giving the two a slight nod before turning his attention to the ground below him. His hands glowed while Lavender energy particles drifted down to the ground, preventing the flames from engulfing the city. Nodding in satisfaction, Tiga readied himself to revert back to his human form.

"That's, that's, impossible.." said the white Alicorn. She looked on in awe at what the warrior had just done. No spell could have ever stopped the Kyrie's wrath so easily.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Ultraman Tiga!” yelled somepony, attracting Tiga’s attention.

Tiga quickly stood up, facing the diminutive Stallion who is standing on the sidewalk.

“Do you think that you’re worthy of being the guardian of Earth?” he asked , “A bit impudent, don’t you think?”

"Who is he?" Twilight pondered, unaware of this pony's true form.

“Before you and the others were here, we Kyrieloids have been waiting to lead these foolish equestrians,” Kyrie said in front of the confused giant, before glaring at the giant and pointing at him, “You’re not welcomed here!”

Tiga could only look at the clearly angry pony, knowing that something big is about to unfold.

The ground around him began to crack, the stallions eyes glowing like hells embers as flames seeped from the fissures, "Did you really thing you could rule Equestria without a fight?!" A flame pillar went on for a few moments before it cleared away, revealing a gigantic humanoid being in his place, the Infernal Warrior, Kyrieloid, "Bahahahahaha!"

Both beings took a step back, ready to fight each other to the death. The two then charged forwards, with Cory going on the offensive with a swiping kick. Kyrieloid easily dodged the incoming attack, before swiping Tiga with his “gauntlet” covered arm. Tiga parried the attack, along with the secondary swipe from Kyrieloid’s normal arm, before delivering a solid kick to Kyrieloid’s gut, a couple of punches to the chest followed suit.

Kyrieloid tried to punch Tiga right on the face, but the warrior of light managed to avoid it. He then avoids a second punch, allowing Kyrieloid to move in front of him. Kyrieloid tried to punch Tiga yet again, only for Tiga to hold his punching arm, delivering a powerful elbow drive to the demon’s chest, and performing a judo throw. Kyrieloid easily somersaults in the air, avoiding damage from the throw. Tiga went forward, only for Kyrieloid to deliver a powerful roundhouse kick, sending Tiga crashing into a nearby building.
The Kyrieloid let down his fighting pose, nodding in delight at the giants pain.

"Tiga!" Fluttershy's wings flared, the others jaws were slack in surprise at the powerful blow.

Tiga stood up, still in pain after that powerful kick, ready to face Kyrieloid once again. The Infernal Warrior grunted, assuming his fighting pose once again as he tried to deliver a side kick. Tiga avoids the incoming attack, but two punches landed on the side of his head. The giant was then kicked right on the chest, before Kyrieloid performed a cartwheel move, gripping Tiga’s head with his legs. Using the opportunity, Tiga performs a reversal, throwing Kyrieloid off his body.

Kyrieloid rolled on the ground before he recovers himself, grabbing an incoming Tiga right on the face with his “gauntlet” arm. However, Tiga proceeds to grab Kyrieloid’s right arm, giving the demon another elbow drive, before throwing Kyrieloid over his shoulder.

Kyrieloid’s back slammed against the ground, allowing Tiga to recover his stance, assuming his fighting pose. Kyrieloid stood up, while Tiga decided to go all out on the demon. He delivered a series of jabs on Kyrieloid’s body, before the demon gripped the Giant of Light’s right arm. The two then kicked each other on the stomach, before Kyrieloid throws Tiga into the ground. The Giant of Light rolled for a second, before assuming his fighting stance in a squatting position. Kyrieloid charged forward, as Tiga cupped one hand to his side, and using the other to toss a pair of energy blasts like a disc, the Hand Slash. The Hand Slashes blasted through Kyrieloid’s abdomen, causing the demon to grunt in pain.

As Kyrieloid recovers himself Tiga stood up, his arms crossed above his forehead jewel, which is flashing purple. A quick thrust of arms later, switching into his Speed form.

Song insert: Take Me Higher!

“He changed color!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie.

"The form which he defeated melba with. He must be matching this being with speed!" Twilight observed. She now understood Tiga's abilities. In case of a fast opponent, Tiga would switch to his Speed form, same goes for his All red Powered form, and his Multi form for an intermediate foe.

Tiga assumes his fighting stance once more, before making a quick move towards the advancing Kyrieloid. Tiga sends out a roundhouse kick on the demon, before delivering a series of jabs on Kyrieloid’s torso, finishing the combo with another shoulder throw. As Kyrieloid shook off the pain, Tiga jumped into the air, performing a somersault, before delivering a powerful heel kick into Kyrieloid’s cranium.

"Thats the way!" Rainbow Dash cheered whilst Apple Jack whistled.

Kyrieloid, seeing another opening, fired his dreaded flame streams form his right hand. Tiga rolled out of the way, causing the flame stream to destroy the building behind Tiga. Tiga stood up, assuming his fighting pose, before putting his hands together in a similar fashion to charging the Rambalt Light Bomb. But instead, Tiga stretches out his right hand to the air, firing a blue beam to the atmosphere. The beam made contact with the oxygen in the air, causing it to explode into a thick white mist. Kyrieloid, being a creature of fire, flailed helplessly as the cold mist descended on him. Tiga crosses his arms above his forehead jewel, the jewel flashing white, before thrusting his arms apart, reverting back into Multi Type. The cold mist had taken effect on Kyrieloid, freezing the demonic being solid. Tiga pulls his hands backward, clenched, and then thrusts them forward, pointed. He then extends them in different drections, while energy gathers into his color timer. He then puts his arms in an "L" shape, and the beam is released from his vertical right arm. The Zepellion Ray, Tiga’s primary beam finisher in Multi Type, is fired! The white incinerating beam of energy smashes through the frozen Kyrieloid, shattering the frozen fiend into a million pieces!

"Haha, he did it! He did it again!" Pinkie hopped in excitement with Spike on her back.

From behind a street corner, Cory made his way between them all where he was quickly met with stories of the battle.

"CorCor!" Chirped Pinkie Pie, "Did you see it!? It was amazing, Ultraman just defeated that, um, I forget its name, but you've should've been there! Oh how I wish you could've been there! The monster was punching at Tiga, but nope! Tiga turns blue and flips him all over the place!"

"Right!" interjected Rainbow, "And then he pulled the most awesome drop kick to that guy!"

Cory laughed, "Don't worry, I didn't miss a bit of that fight. I saw it all. Now, lets all go, we gotta get some sleep."

Celestia nodded in agreement, "I think its time for everypony to get a nights rest, we've all had a long day"

"And I simply must report back to my night time duties, you all go and rest." Added Luna.

The two princesses and the group of friends waked back to the castle. It was a long quarrel for all of them, and they were glad it was over, for now at least. As the flames of Kyrie's hatred, were still burning in hell 's fire.
