Ultraman Tiga Chapter 1

He who inherits the light

Intro music: Take me higher

Ever wonder, what it would be like, to just get away from the daily stress of life? To just live in a happy carefree world? Leave all your responsibilities behind and be free? Well, I'm sure most people have, and our character Cory, is one of them. And little did he know that this morning, his whole life would change dramatically.

Cory was an average sixteen year old, living in the town of Centerville. He awoke one morning to the sound of his alarm clock blaring away. He blindly searched for the off button with his hand as he rubbed his eyes with the other. He groggily got out of bed, doing a few stretches and popping his knuckles. "Well, lets see what work has planned for me today." He chuckled.

As he stepped into the bathroom, he flipped on his radio and began dancing to the song

' by Queen while combing his brown hair. He brushed his teeth, shaved his face, and finally came to the worst part of his morning routine. Hair remover. His eyes watered from the burning liquid, especially due to the fact it was a close shave with a dull razor.

"Eggh, glad that's over." He mumbled. He placed on a sleeveless Nike shirt, a pair of shorts, running shoes, and his wrist watch. As he tied his shoes, the sound of dogs barking could be heard from the Neighbors yard. This was not unusual, but he also heard a few car alarms sounding off in the distance. Perhaps the garbage truck ran over the Neighbor's Mercedes. Again.

He left his phone on the charger since it was still low on energy. When he looked in the mirror and thought he looked presentable, Cory made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Luckily, his obnoxious Foster parents were still in bed. Meaning he could have Breakfast in peace without any "Cory! Elbows off the table!" or "Cory, are your dishes clean!?" His Foster parents were not neglectful, in fact they did take Cory in because they cared for him. But to Cory, they seemed to be more of a nuisance than his actual parents.

When he was finished, he lazily placed his dishes in the sink, and took his pedometer with him, and jogged out the door. He had only run about two or three blocks, when suddenly he noticed something…. Everything around him went still, and then it felt as if, a certain energy was going through him, like, a force he never had felt before. He felt extremely light headed as it felt he was spinning, and the sensation of electricity traveled through his body. That was when he heard a distinct roar, like the sound of a giant beast, and then all went black.

He had no idea how long he was out of it, but when he awoke, he found himself on a wooden floor, which was somewhat dusty. The smell of cakes and pastries filled his nostrils; it was the sweetest smell he had ever smelled. He opened his eyes, and saw a bright pink pony with its back turned to him, that appeared to be mixing what seemed to be cake batter. Cory was confused, and a bit frightened, where was he? Who was that? The Pony turned around and then looked just as surprised to see Cory as he was to see her. Suddenly they both screamed at each other. Cory quickly scooted away from the pony, and the pony hid behind the counter.

Then she looked over and said "Um, can I help you?" the pink pony timidly asked.

Cory was shocked, did that Pony, just talk? Ponies can't talk, can they? He scooted far away, "Oh God, oh God! It's gonna kill me!" He thought rapidly as his life flashed before his eyes and quickly thought. "Why didn't I said yes at the party!? At least I wouldn't die a virgin! GAhhh!"

He saw that the Pink Pony began to laugh out loud, "Your funny!" she chirped, "Die a virgin, hahahaha!"

"Huh?" He began to study the Pink Pony and noticed that it was just sitting there, looking at him with her big blue eyes. "You… Are not gonna hurt me?" He reluctantly asked and the pony shook its head. "Was that you just talking? Or was that me just going insane?" He chuckled nervously.

"Of course that was me talking silly; you and me are the only Ponies in here!" She hopped over to him. Giggling she said "You're a funny looking creature, I mean, with only hair on your head!" She said as she ruffled her hoof through his brown hair.

"I'm Pinkie Pie, who are you again? And what are you?" She said while tilting her head to the left. This wasn't making any sense Cory thought to himself, how could a farm animal be talking? He stood up finally, "Ookk Cory this is getting too weird, when I close my eyes, everythings gonna be back to normal, starting…. Now" he opened his eyes, and the pink smiling Pony was still there.

"Annnnnnnd… Now…Now…" Cory was starting to lose it. Pinkie Pie giggled, "Ooo! Are we playing Peekaboo? My turn! Peekaboo! Peekaboo!"

Cory knocked his head against the corner top several times, "Well, turns out I'm not dreaming….." He returned his focus back to the Pink Pony before him,"Well since I'm kinda stranded here for now I guess, I'm Cory, from Centerville, where the hell am I?"

Pinkie gave him a little smile "Centerville? Whats that!?" she asked as she turned her head to the side. "Anyways" Pinkie giggled "We have trolls that look kind of like you, but you're not that ugly."

Trolls? Cory thought to himself, "But those things don't even exist."

Pinkie Pie gave another laugh, "Of course they do! Haven't you ever seen one?" Cory was confused beyond belief. Where the hell was he? How could he be talking to a pony, let alone a pony that's Pink? This was getting way to weird

Pinkie approached him, looking him over for a few moments, "Hey, you don't have any hooves!"

"Well of course not, people don't have hooves, only horses, well, ponies do."

Pinkie held one of Cory's hands in her hooves, looking over it, tracing up and down his fingers as if studying him.

"Umm, need a paper and pencil to take notes?" Cory sarcastically asked.

"Hey, what's this tiny little one right here? It's so cute!" Pinkie pointed at Cory's right Pinky finger.

Cory was getting a little creeped out by this, "Um, that's my Pinky finger, haven't you ever seen hands before?"

Pinkie pie thought for a moment, "Nope, not really! Spike has hands but I've never really payed attention to them. Oh! That reminds me, I gotta get back to bakin for a party this afternoon!"

He scratched his head and shrugged, "Well in the mean time, I'm gonna go find my way back home now, so-"

"Hey! Since you're here and I've never met a creature like you before, wanna help me bake? I'm making a cake for my friends, were having a big party!" Said the Pony as she jumped in the air.

Cory was not sure of what was going on, but he somewhat felt comfortable around this Pinkie Pie. "Yeah sure, I can help." He said monotonously. It wasn't like he had anything better to do while he was here.

Pinkie jumped with joy. "Oh goodie! You can mix the batter!" Cory got up and slowly walked over to the counter where the mixing bowl was," Alright, what do I need to do?" Pinkie said with a smile "You take these two eggs right here, and a pinch of the vanilla and mix it all with the flour!" He remembered he would always help his birth mother bake things like strudels and cakes, no too hard he thought.

He lifted the bowl up and started to slowly mix the contents of the bowl, soon it turned into a thick brown liquidy paste. Pinkie looked into the mixing bowl, and did a little hop with joy. "Yay! I can't wait for this to be done! What about you baking buddy!?"

"Baking buddy?" Cory couldn't help but laugh a little at the nickname. While the cake baked, Pinky Pie started up another conversation, "So, where do you come from again?" she asked with a smile. He was not sure how he could explain that he was from an entirely different world, but knew he'd be rude if he did not answer.

"Well to put it in a nutshell I certainly am not from around here." He replied while rolled his eyes.

Pinkie laughed "Ohh of course you come from another dimension, haha your funny CoryDory! I can't wait till we become bester friends!

Cory always welcomed kindness, but the amount he was receiving from Pinkie Pie almost creeped him out, but he stayed kind and tolerant. After another half hour, the two finally were done. He walked over and opened the oven, the smell of a sweet vanilla chocolate cake filled the room.

"Ooo!Ooo! Is it done yet? Lemme see!" Pinkie said joyfully. She took one look at the cake and took a small taste, her eyes lit up. "Wow, your really good at this! It's always nice to have a friend who can help me bake cakes!" and with that she gave him a bear hug.

Regardless of the ponies words, and hugs, Cory was still wondering how he got here, what was he doing here? No way this was a dream. He could feel things, smell things, and touch things. But at the same time, he was already feeling at, home with this pony? His thoughts were interrupted by Pinky Pie saying "Come on, let's go! I can't wait for you to meet my friends!"

These friends he thought, were they Ponies also? He was nervous to find out, but he stuck with Pinky as he was the only one he knew. As they walked through the town, ponies looked at Cory with suspicion, worry, and some with fear. He didn't blame them. They've never seen a human, and most of them only came up to his lower chest.

"After the party, you should tell me more about you! I'm so excited to have someone who's not a pony as a friend! Well, other than Spike, but you like baking more than any of my other friends! Trust me, you're going to love them!"

"I'm sure I will" he said while he began pinching himself, "Wake up" he mumbled. They arrived to a large tree, it had windows, a balcony, and a peculiar wooden door. There was music coming from the inside, maybe there were people in there? At this point he could only help, cause all he saw were Colors with their own unique colorful coats.

"Her, lemme get that for you!" Pinkie said joyfully. When the door opened the two immediately opened by an orange Pony who wore a western style hat, "Howdy Pinkie! Glad ya'll could make it! And, um, who is this?" The other four ponies walked closer, their attention was all locked onto the single human.

A bright yellow Pegasus hid in the back of them room, while a blue Pegasus landed right in front of Cory, giving him a sour look, and Cory returned the expression, "Pinkie Pie," she said, "Who is this?"

Pinky cheerfully announced "I dunno! I found him laying on my floor early this morning while I was baking, he seems to be fine, a little shy though! Right Cory!?" Cory only nodded. The two still stared at each other, whoever this Pegasus was, Cory was definitely not to fond of her so far. "I got my eye on you" she said, walking back to join the others.

"Don't worry about Rainbow there partner, she don't know much about how to treat a guest. Now tell us, whats yer name?"

Cory had to think for a moment "Um, I'm Cory, Cory James Miller." He smiled awkwardly back at AppleJack who shook his hand, but not without spitting on her hoof. All the while Cory tried to think of an excuse to go ahead and leave the party before things got even more weird, or worse…

"Cory, Ah reckon I never even heard of a name quite like that, but Ah never mind making new friends. The names Applejack." She gave him a light punch followed by a wink.

Then an all-white Unicorn pony approached him, she was for sure the most beautiful of the six. "Hello, my name is Rarity, fashion designer at carousel boutique, very pleased to meet someone quite like yourself." Cory gave a little smile, "Its nice to meet you too, heheh."

Soon the other three ponies introduced themselves, as did Cory. The purple Unicorn was Twilight Sparkle, and the smaller yellow Pegasus was Fluttershy, who was still seemingly afraid of him.

He was beginning to feel a bit much more relieved. At least they were friendly, friendlier than any other person he'd find at, home. Home, he was so caught up in their little party he almost forgot he needed to be at home. But first off, how would he get back? He didn't even know how he got here in the first place. Cory took a seat in the corner and sat down, not at all was he homesick due to the fact he lived with his loser Foster parents, but still, he did not belong here. Twilight and Applejack walked over to where he sat.

"Ya'll right Sugar cube?"Applejack worryingly asked

"Yeah, you seem a little upset" said Twilight. Cory simply replied "Yeah, I'm fine." Neither of the two were convinced, and then the other ponies noticed the three of them in the corner, and walked over to Cory as well. "Don't tell us any lies now partner, let us know what's wrong." Applejack gave him a small but reassuring smile. "Yeah, whats up?" Added Rainbow Dash.

Cory looked at the ground, "I'm not from here, I don't know where I am, I need to go home, but I, I don't know how to get there. Hell, I don't even know how I got here in the first place…!"

Cory hung his head low, but felt a reassuring hoof on his back, and saw Applejack looking into his eyes. "Ey there partner, don't be so glum, you can stick around with us till yah find yer way home."

Rainbow Dash wasn't so sure about this as was Fluttershy, who was slightly afraid of Cory.

He nodded his head and felt a bit relieved. "Come-on, you'll find a way eventually; in the mean time you can stay with us." Twilight said as she ran her hoof up and down his back. Cory looked up with a relieved look on his face. "Well, thanks." He could stay a bit longer, and maybe then he could figure this all out later.

"You're welcome. " She nodded, "And if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a few questions about where you apparently come from, just to make sure!"

The party lasted for hours, everypony was having a great time. Cory was rarely invited to parties, and out of the few, it was certainly the liveliest one he had ever experienced. Heck, he even bobbed for apples with them. He was up against AppleJack, and everypony had their eyes on the two competitors. Cory raised his head up, only to find that AppleJack had already gotten two out of the tub, and was going for her third. She winked at him, "I told yah A've never been beat in mah life at Apple bobbin. Nice try though partner."

As he began to dry off his hair, he was then pulled back by Twilight who danced with him. Cory had no idea how to dance, making Twilight pause awkwardly in front of him. She cocked an eyebrow, "Don't you know how to dance?" she asked

Cory thought for a moment, "Errrr, Nerrrrr?" He stopped himself, "Nerrr? What the hell dude!?" His attention was grabbed by the giggling Unicorn in front of him, "Here, grab onto my hooves"

She stood on her hind legs long enough for Cory to grab onto her forelegs, holding her there for a few moments. "Now, follow me." she slowly danced upright to get him in the hang of it. Sure, he didn't dance great at all, but it was a start.

He sat down next to the Punch bowl next to the Unicorn named Rarity. "Hello dear, mind if I poured a small glass?" before he could answer he had a punch glass floating right in front of his face, "Umm, thanks." He replied.

"No trouble at all! Now tell me, does everyone wear those types of clothes where you come from?" She moved her curled mane away from her eyes. She sure was pretty he thought, for a pony.

He shook his head, "Not really, these are just my daily clothes really for the summer". He thought it was kinda awkward that ponies here would wear clothes as well, but he didn't care h

It was 11 at night before they called it a night. Everypony said their Salutations, even Rainbow Dash who learned to trust the human. Eventually it was Twilight and Cory left cleaning up the decorations. She had a pet dragon named Spike who Cory became cool with, they even had a few rock paper scissors rounds.

Twilight sat down with Cory when they were finished, " So, tell me more about where you come from, or are you not exactly comfortable with that?"

Cory shook his head, "Mehhh, there's really not much to say about it. It's all pretty basic."

"I understand, but sooner or later, Celestia might need to ask you a few questions, just thought I'd let you know."

"Alright Maddam Purple Interrogator." He joked. Twilight giggled, "Well anyways, I think its time we get some shut eye. Come with me." He followed the Purple Unicorn up the stairs into her bedroom, "Here, I've asked Spike to prepare my bed for you, I'm sleeping on the floor mattress."

Cory scratched the back of his neck, "You don't have to do that, I'll sleep on the floor, its your bed after all."

Twilight shook her head, "I insist, I mean you are a gue-"

"I'll sleep on the floor, a pretty Mare like you needs her rest." He stopped himself right there, surprised at what he said.

Twilight smiled, "Your too sweet, but if it's what you insist, then so be it." She climbed into her bed as Cory layed on the floor.

Twilight turned over to the floor mattress. "Cory? That's your name right?"

"Yeah, whats up?" he replied.

"Well, this may sound sudden, but I think we should become best friends. Wouldn't that be great?" She beamed..

"Yeah, why not." He lazily replied.

The conversation was cut short by Spike. "Hey, there's a thing called sleep I'm trying to get, can you two keep it down?"

"Oh, sorry Spike" said Twilight. She laid back down in bed. "Night Cory, sweet dreams."

Cory nodded while he turned to the side. "Yeah, you too" he yawned.

However, far away in a distant land, the ground where a small village of ponies lived began to tremble. Buildings toppled over, crushing unfortunate families beneath them as fissures formed in the ground. Suddenly, the head of a great monster rose from the dirt, releasing a ground shaking roar, it was none other than the monster Golza,. Ponies fled from the beast as he rose from the earth, crushing more small huts and homes in the process. When he got to his feet, he looked down at the ponies with bloodshot eyes, and gave another bellow. Suddenly, his forehead cackled with purple destructive energy, and released it in the form or a powerful beam. The ponies that tried to flee were suddenly vaporized by the attack, much to Golza's sick glee. Ponies fled in all directions as Golza cut through the village, creating a straight path of destruction in his way.

Not far from where this was happening, the side of a mountain began to shake and tremble, causing a great landslide onto a small family of from the mountain side was the winged beast Melba, who gave a shriek that could be heard throughout the entire valley. Griffins darted away from the mountainside, shocked to see their legend of the winged monster come alive. Melba spread her wings and took flight, heading in a straight direction towards Phillydelphia. She showered the city with energy blasts from her eyes, making buildings crumble if not explode from the powerful blasts of energy. Melba would stay and destroy the whole city but she had much bigger plans..

It was hours before one of the royal guards frantically galloped up to Princess Luna. "My princess, we have received news that a monster has totally destroyed a village just beyond Manehattan, and a straight line of destruction caused by by another flying monster has been reported as well in Phillydelphia".

Luna's heart sank into her stomach. "It couldn't possibly start now, could it?"she ran from her throne yo her sisters bedroom as fast as she could, " Sister! Celestia! You must awaken!" she barged through the bedroom door to see Celestia gazing at the horizon, "Yes Luna, I know. I must let Twilight know of this."

Hours later, Cory lay on the floor, in a deep sleep. However, his dreams were halted when he suddenly felt something heavy fall right on top of him. "Jesus Christ!" Twilight, who rolled in her sleep accidentally fell off the bed. She blushing dark red. "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! You ok?"

"OK!? You just fell right on top of me! AGH! My back!" he placed both hands on his sides.

"Hey, can you keep it do-, Oh gross!" yelled Spike, covering his eyes.

Twilight finally realized she was still on top of Cory. She immediately got up as Cory rubbed his aching back.

She then remembered what Fluttershy told he about healing a back injury. Well, it was originally supposed to be a massage, but she managed to create a spell for such an occasion. "Here, lay face down for a moment."

Cory faced her with a cocked eyebrow. "Huh? What now?"

"Just lay down, I know what'll make you feel better."

Cory did not know what to make of it all, but he laid on his stomach. He felt Twilight run a hoof along his back, her horn began to glow. She lightly touched his back with her glowing horn, relieving he pain instantly. "There, how does that's feel now?"

Cory stood up, "A lot better, Thanks Twilight." The two looked at each other for a few moments, even looking into each other's eyes for a bit. Twilight looked to the side, "Lets just go get some breakfast, hows that sound?"

Suddenly, Spike burped up flames that became what appeared to be a scroll, "What is it Spike? Another letter from the Princess?"

Spike opened I and read a few lines, "Oh boy.. Twilight, the Princess says she needs to see all of you at the castle immediately."

"Alright, I'll gather everypony and we'll go.. Cory, did you want to go with us?"

Cory thought about it. If they were gone, he'd be pretty much by himself. "Sure. Why not."

When the group arrived at Canterlot, they quickly got out of the train, and did not stop running till they came to the castle of the princess, Cory asked Twilight while they ran, "So, who is this Princess Celestia?"

Twilight didn't glance at him, but simply kept her pace. "She's the most powerful and magical pony and one of the last Alicorns. She's the ruler of Equestria, and she rises the sun everyday!"

Cory was still confused, a pony that makes the sun rise? But knew that if he was in a world of talking ponies, anything's possible.

When they finally arrived at the top of the stair case and ran into a wide hall, Cory saw the most beautiful Mare he had ever seen. Her mane was flowing by itself, and looked like the colors of the rainbow. Her coat was whiter than snow, and behind the Tiara she wore on her head was an Ivory unicorn horn. She was an absolute sight.

Twilight ran up to the princess "Princess, you needed to see us, we came as fast as we could."

"Thank you Twilight, you are here for great importance, I need you too-" Celestia noticed Cory, stopping in mid sentence. At first, they could have sworn that Celestia's face contorted to one of disbelief and horror, but it soon turned to one of curiosity. "Twilight, who is your new friend?" Asked The Princess.

"That's Cory, he tagged along with us. But anyways, what did you need us for?" Twilight eagerly asked. The Princess bowed her head. "Follow me." The seven slowly walked behind the princess. "Princess Celestia, are you alright?" Asked her Protege.

Celestia kept leading them down the vast hallway. "Years ago, before Ponyville, before Canterlot, Equestria was in utter chaos. Monsters, beasts, wreaked havoc throughout the land. There was no peace, nor was there harmony, all in peril. Until me and Luna used the elements of harmony, and rose against them. We thought they were gone for good, but the spell was only temporary, and is now slowly fading. Soon one by one, the beasts shall awaken. And now they have."

The six ponies gasped as Cory gave a rather confused look, as he was puzzled from the very beginning. Princess Celestia looked at Twilight and her friends. "The legend is true…The monsters will rise again. First, the earth monster Golza, then the sky monster, Melba. With other monsters, it was they who wrecked more havoc, together" The princess looked back at the group "Twilight, I need you all to wield the elements of Harmony once again, and send these monsters back into their slumber."

Twilight looked at her friends, whom all seemed a bit unsure. Then again these were giant monsters they were talking about. "Princess Celestia, you can count on us" said Twilight. "Yeah!" shouted the other ponies as Cory stayed silent. Celestia walked over to the door to the room where the elements were held, unlocking it with her horn. Using her magic she lifted the case from the mantle. As soon as she opened it, she gasped and dropped the case to the floor. All what fell from the case were a 6 pieces of stone, the other six ponies gasped as well.

"The elements!" cried AppleJack, "They're, they…!"

"Turned to stone!" shouted Rarity

Celestia paced back and forth, "This doesn't make any sense, how could they have turned to stone?"

Twilight levitated her stone Tiara. "Princess Celestia, what do we do now?" .

"Give up?" asked RainbowDash who was afterwards poked in the side by AppleJack.

The Princess looked down, with her eyes closed she said "There is one hope…."

"What would that be Princess?" The Lavender Mare eagerly asked.

"Come with me…" Said Celestia.

She led the group down a large hall, one they're never seen or been in before. There were more stained glass windows, but instead of ponies and different landscapes, they were ones of a giant, in some windows he was red, others blue, and in some he was both. But all had one thing in common; he was seen fighting a monster in each one. One however showed what appeared to be a torch with an emblem at the top of it.

The ponies and Cory were puzzled by the windows. "Celestia, what are all these windows for? What do they represent?"

The Princess did not look at the ponies, but said calmly, "Hidden away, in the pyramid of light, lies the body of an ancient warrior, who protected Earth ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasus alike from the monsters. But when we casted the spell to conceal the monsters, he turned to stone, and now awaits the chosen one to awaken him. Only he can decide who inherits his power. The monsters are heading towards him, because they know that he has the power to stop them. I need you all to go, find the pyramid, and awaken the giant."

Twilight cocked an eyebrow at Celestia. "But, where is this pyramid of light?"

"It's in the mountains beyond the ever free forest, there you shall find the pyramid." Celestia bowed to Twilight and her friends. "Now go, the fate of Equestria lies in your hooves."

"So, through the Everfree forest," Twilight said as the group approached the deep woods. Fluttershy backed away in fear she shook. "Um, do, do we have to go through that dark forest?"

AppleJack came up to the Yellow Pegasus from behind. " We all have to go in there and look for it together if were gonna find this so called pyramid of light."

Fluttershy whimpered and gulped, "Can't I please just stay here?"

That was when Cory stepped in. "Hey, look, were all here, there's not a thing in there that will get to you if were here. Right guys?" The ponies didn't say anything, they just stood there and made unsure facial expressions. "It's that bad huh?" he asked. The Mane Six nodded their heads in unison.

Twilight spoke up, "But still, we've got to find that pyramid and the statue if were gonna be able save Equestria, let's do this, together."

Everyone agreed except for Fluttershy, who was still hunched over. Rainbow Dash flew over to Fluttershy and landed by her side. "Come on Fluttershy, like Twilight said, we need to work together, do you really want Equestria to be destroyed by those two, um, I forget their names, but come on! You HAVE to come with us!"

Fluttershy slowly got to her feet, still sobbing. "Ok." she sobbed, " I'll go"

"There yah go Fluttersy!" cheered Pinkie pie.

"Alright!" Twilight nodded, "Now lets go!".

The forest, even in the day time was eerie, and gave you the feeling that you were being watched. However, it was daylight, and most of the monsters and demonic entities were resting, awaiting the night. But still, the dark forest gave the 6 ponies, even Cory a feeling of fear. The woods was getting thicker and darker, and the air was thick and humid.

Rarity screamed as A large Spider web seemingly appeared right before her face, "Ewww!" She shuddered, "Why must there be so many disgusting bugs?"

"Oh I dunno Rarity, maybe cause yer in a forest?" AppleJack replied.

"This pyramid better exist, or the princess is definitely gonna hear it from me" cringing at the sight of a large Stag Beetle crawling out of her way.

"Don't worry Rarity." said Pinkie Pie as he held a large Stick insect "These guys are harmless!".

"Until one bites you, stings you, or even worse." she gulped,"Crawls on your neck as you sleep." Rarity shuddered again at the thought.

"I think bugs should be the last of our worries." Cory brushed a tree branch away from his face. "We've got to find that statue, and fast.".

"Yes." Twilight agreed. "He's right. If we're going to find it we're gonna have to focus on what we came here for and only that." Despite her words, Rarity still did complain. When they came to a patch of mud, that's when Rarity drew the line. "No, no way in Equestria am I walking in that disgusting mud!" Cory rolled his eyes at the situation. He lifted Rarity off the ground and carried her over the mud trail.

"Oh thank you Cory! How can I repay you for doing this most generous favor?" Rarity said. Cory stretched his arms, for a small pony she was pretty heavy, "It was nothing at all, right now we just need too get to the pyramid, now let's go".

The group finally made they're way out of the forest, and could see a large mountain range. Twilight looked at the Mountains before her, "Well guys, looks like our search isn't over yet, we've still got a lot of ground to cover.".

The others groaned, even Cory rolled his eyes. As they walked through the crevice of the great mountains, AppleJack's ears perked up. "Hold up ya'll, I hear somethin..."

Pinkie looked around, "I don't hear anythi-"

"Shhhh! Just listen, you'll hear it." There was a sound, the sound of flapping wings, and it was getting closer.

Suddenly a strange winged beast landed in front of them. It looked sapient, but had long claws, and an extended snout and a tail.

The group slowly backed from the creature, "What do you ponies think your doing walking around these mountains?". The gnarled creature spoke, flicking out its tongue like a snake.

Twilight gulped and stepped back a few paces. "Um we were just, searching for um, a, pyramid…" She began to shake and in fear.

The gargoyle only laughed. "Oh don't worry, we always welcome the likes of you ponies" Saliva dripped down the monsters chin. "So um," Twilight said timidly, "We'll be on our way home now". The Gargoyle laughed "Oh do stay, usually it's a stallion who stumbles upon these parts, but the meats to tough for our liking, I hardly ever find a nice young tender mare,"

And with that the monster leapt at Twilight, attempting to rip her apart with his claws, but as soon as he could do so much as touch her, he felt a blunt and agonizing pain in his snout. It was Cory, delivering a powerful flying side kick into the monster, focusing all his power and kinetic energy into that one bone shattering kick. The force nearly caused Cory's knee to buckle under. The monster fell onto his back, bellowing while holding it's broken and bleeding snout.

"Run!" yelled Cory. As soon as they started running, the monster was hot on their heels, shrieking n anger, but instead of going after the ponies, he was more focused on Cory. As they ran, Twilight's horn glowed, attempting to teleport them with her magic. She strained, mustering all the magic she could, and teleported the seven of them away from the gargoyle.

The confused beast stopped in mid air, looking around as to where his prey had went. He roared in Anguish, so loud that even the ponies could hear him despite being so far away.

"Cory," Said Twilight, "You, you saved me, by the time I would've used my protection spell I would've already been dead, Tha-Thank you."

AppleJack nodded in agreement, "He saved all of us, we all owe yah one sugarcube!"

"Yeah! And that kick was just pure awesome!" added RainbowDash. She gave his shoulder a punch followed by a hoof bump.

"Look!" Fluttershy pointed towards the top of a mountain. "I can see the tip of the pyramid, over there." Everyone looked in the direction she was facing, and saw the glowing tip of the pyramid.

"I see it!" chirped Pinkie Pie.

"Me too!" yelled AppleJack.

Twilight turned to her friends, "Let's go guys, we don't have a moment to waste!"

The seven travelers ran towards the light, passing through crevices, RainbowDash took flight and soared over the mountain. When the other ponies made it to the other side of the mountain, they found Rainbow staring at the pyramid. They were all in awe; the sheer beauty, the colors, everything about it amazed them.

"So um, isn't there supposed to be a statue around here?" asked RainbowDash.

"Yes, I don't see a statue" Fluttershy added.

"Perhaps." Cory said "The statue is inside the pyramid!"

Twilight looked at the group, "Alright, we all go in there together, ok?"

"Ok!" the ponies announced together. "Wait!" Shouted Pinkie, "Where's Cory?".

The six ponies glanced around. "There!" shouted Applejack, "He's runnin towards the pyramid!"

"Cory! Cory wait! Comeback!" shouted the ponies, but Cory did not listen, he kept going till he reached the pyramid. He placed a hand on it, only to have it go through it. The light was warm, and felt, welcoming of his presence, Cory ever so slowly walked into the pyramid. He had to squint because the light was so bright at first, but when his eyes adjusted, what he saw amazed him.

"Cory!" they all shouted, each one running into the pyramid. There they found Cory looking up, as if he was in a trance. "Cory" the all said as they ran up to him. "Cory, are you alright?" They heard Fluttershy whimper, when they looked at her they saw her point up to what Cory was staring at; there they saw it. A statue, easily 168 feet tall, of a giant sapient being. They all stared at the statue; it was enormous, largest thing either of them has ever seen.

Twilight, still looking up at the statue, slowly said "Ok, were here, but, how do we wake up a giant statue?"

"Hit it with a giant pillow?" Pinkie giggled.

"There must be some way.." Thought Twilight. The ponies conversed on what and how they should awaken the statue, while Cory stared at the statue, not once taking his eyes off of it. Suddenly from inside the pyramid, they hear a loud roar. And it sounded fairly close.. It was Golza, he was already making his way through the mountains, closing in on the pyramid.
"Oh no! They're here!" shouted Twilight! The other ponies panicked, but Cory who finally looked away from the statue, he said to them "Lets go, we need to get out of here now! Follow me!" Cory darted towards where they came with the ponies following behind him. As they made their way out, there they saw Golza raise his head from behind the mountain, and released another ear splitting bellow. He saw the ponies and the human fleeing from the pyramid, but paid them little attention, he came here for one and one reason only.

While the group fled from the pyramid, Fluttershy tripped, twisting the ankle on her front leg. She let out a yelp of pain as she collapsed on the ground. Cory saw this, and dashed back to the injured yellow Pegasus. "Fluttershy, are you ok?"

Cory held Fluttershy'ss injured ankle as tears streamed down her face, "My ankle, Its twisted, I can't run!" Fluttershy began to cry, covering her face with her left front hoof.

Cory wiped the tears from her face and lifted her up. "There's no way I'm gonna leave you here."

Soon he caught up with the other ponies, laying Fluttershy down in a patch of soft grass. "You should be safe here, Don't worry." He moved her pink forelock away from her eyes.

With tears in her eyes, Fluttershy gave Cory a smile. "Thank you Cory, you, you saved me, again". Cory smiled at her. and nodded.

They all turned their attention back to Golza and the pyramid. Golza unleashed a powerful energy blast from his forehead that dissolved the pyramid and left the statue exposed. Moments later, the winged monster Melba arrived to assist her ally. Swooping down, she toppled the statue with her right wing, causing it to fall to the ground with a loud thud.

Cory and the mane six looked on with horror at what they were seeing. "No! They're not gonna get that statue without a fight!" yelled both Cory and Rainbow Dash. The two darted over to where the monsters were, with their friends yelling at them to come back.

Raindow Dash flew to eye level with Golza. "Hey you! Leave that statue alone or I'll!" Before she could finish her sentence, the monster swatted her away from his sight, sending Rainbow Dash crashing into the ground.

"Rainbow!" yelled Cory as he ran over to his friend. "Rainbow Dash, are you ok?" Rainbow Dash looked at him and said "Yeah, I'm fine, you, we need to protect the statue…" Cory cut her off, "Get back to the others, I'll distract them." As Rainbow Dash flew back to the group, Cory then felt something strange rise within him, soon, his body began to glow, he felt, alive, he felt, like he was, becoming.. Light. Turning into a bright light, Cory (Now and Aura of light energy) soared to the head of the statue and was absorbed into the Clear gem on its forehead.

Cory felt as if he was in a dream state, but at the same time, he heard someone calling his name.. "Cory…Cory…" is what the voice he heard say. Cory opened his eyes slightly, he was floating, his body was glowing with light "Where, where am I? Who's calling my name?" He looked up and he saw a giant being, whose body glowed with light energy, giving off a pure aura.

Cory did not know if he should be afraid, or calm. "Who are you?" he asked. Then he heard the being of light speak to him once again. "I am the ancient protector of Equestria, one that you may call Ultraman."

"Did you save me?" asked Cory.

"I observed your bravery by sacrificing yourself to save your friends, I felt a similar personality with you. By uniting with you, I'll be able to fight for a limited amount of time." The being opened his hand, and a small item floated towards Cory, "I would like to borrow your strength. Use this, when you cannot protect precious lives on your own".

When Cory grasped the small relic, he felt a surge of energy within him, and an overwhelming sensation of great power. He began to scream as the power rippled through his body, reviving the heart of the dormant giant.

Golza walked over to the fallen statue, intending to crush it with his foot. He lifted his foot, but before he could stomp on the statue, he felt resistance against him. The confused Golza looked down at the statue, and noticed a blue light glowing on the its chest, then suddenly, Golza was pushed off of his feet as the statue rose up, awakened at last.

A blinding light glowed from the giant as it rose to its feet, making Golza and Melba stumble and fall back, with Golza letting out a shriek of great surprise. The light slowly faded, revealing the revived invincible Tiga warrior.

"Look!" shouted Pinkie Pie; "The statue, it's alive!" the ponies looked in awe and disbelief at the sight before them.

"I don't believe it," Twilight said to herself, "The legend, it must be true…"

The Giant of Light, Tiga, retained his fighting stance in front of the shocked Golza and Melba, both of them angered by the giant's revival. Golza roared as it charged first, only for Tiga to nod and jump into the air, giving the monster a solid chop to it's hood with his right hand. Golza stumbled back, it never felt a physical blow as strong as that in it's life. The dinosaur got back up, only for Tiga to deliver a chop to it's chest. As Golza recovered itself Tiga held the beast's head tightly, giving several powerful knee jerks into Golza's ribs. The ancient monster gave out a growl of pain as Melba landed behind Tiga, screeching in anger.

Melba went forward, only for Tiga, still having Golza in his grips, to deliver a side kick with his right leg to Melba's stomach, sending the bird falling back in pain. Melba collapsed to the ground as Golza releases itself from Tiga's grip, waking backwards as it gathered purple energy into it's neck. Seeing that Golza is about to fire his forehead beam, Tiga lunged forward, grabbing the beast's head with both hands, cancelling the charge. Golza immediately grabbed Tiga's hands and the two soon wrestled around. This leaves Tiga open for attack, however, as Melba stood up, taking off to the sky as it knocks Tiga away from Golza with it's club-shaped feet.

Tiga rolled away, giving some space between him and the Super Ancient Monsters. Golza roared, firing it's previously cancelled forehead beam. Tiga cartwheeled himself away from the incoming beam, before dodging more of the purple energy beams. Melba went in for the offensive, grabbing Tiga's wrists with it's claws. The flying terror held Tiga in place, allowing Golza to have another go with it's forehead beam, striking Tiga on the back. The warrior of light knelt down, pain surging through his body, only for Melba to grab his neck, forcing him to stood up, and knock him away with a swift hook from Melba's left claw.

Tiga collapsed to the ground, apparently the two-against-one thing isn't doing very good to him. The Giant of Light stood on his knees, his forehead jewel glowing red as he crosses his arms over it. He then thrusts his arms apart as he stood up, the purple coloration on his body turning into red as his muscle mass increases significantly. Tiga then prepared his fighting stance once again, this time with both fists clenched.

Golza roared, unleashing another one of his forehead beams, but Tiga saw this coming. He crosses his arms above his chests and throws them apart, creating a circular yet transparent barrier of energy in front of him. The beam crashes into the barrier harmlessly, prompting Melba to fire it's own eye bolts at the giant. The bolts, like the beam before, failed miserably as it was harmlessly dispersed by the barrier.

Golza roared in anger, charging forward towards Tiga, only for the warrior of light to ram himself into the incoming Golza, knocking the beast off his feet. As Golza recovered himself, Tiga wrapped his arms around the ancient monster, squeezing it tightly. Sounds of bones being cracked and snapped could be heard clearly as Golza lets out a groan of pain. Tiga released his grip, allowing Golza to limp away in pain, before proceeding to grab the beast on the head and performs a shoulder throw on the ancient dinosaur. Melba lets out a worried screech as Golza plummets into the dirt, causing even more internal damage.

Seeing that her breathren has been hurt, Melba charged forward. Tiga tried to deliver a roundhouse kick to her,but she took off to the skies. The Giant of Light then turned his attention towards Golza, only for the dinosaur to make a hasty escape by burrowing underground. Before Tiga could stop Golza, however, Melba turned around, firing it's eye bolts on the advancing Tiga, forcing the hero to fall down to his knees, reeling from the pain that the bolts gave. As Golza escaped the battleground, the light on his chest began to flash red. Tiga could easily feel that his energy was failing him, and that he needs to wrap up this fight or else.

Tiga stood up, looking above as Melba flew towards him again. The jewel on Tiga's forehead flashed blue, prompting Tiga to cross his arms above his forehead jewel and thrusts them apart, the red coloration on his body turning purple as his body became slim, even slimmer than his previous red and purple form. Tiga took his fighting stance again, this time with both fists opened up, before jumping into the air. Tiga performed a somersault in mid-air and performed a flying side kick position, kicking Melba right in the head.

Tiga performed another somersault and landed on the ground gracefully, as Melba crashes down into the ground behind him. The Giant of Light turned around, assuming his fighting pose once more, allowing Melba to stood up. With lightning fast agility, Tiga spreads his arms upward, blue lightning energy cackling between his arms. He then places his arms together on his left side, his left hand cupped, and his right hand open over it. Tiga then released a blue energy arrow from his hand. The Rambalt Ray Bomb hit home in the chest cavity of Melba. Her arms went limp as she screamed in agony, before she exploded into a million tiny pieces which scattered across the forest.

Tiga nodded his head, satisfied with his victory. Looking to the sky, the hero took off towards the sun, having achieved his first victory in this new age of monsters. The Ponies stood there, still taking in the awesome battle that occurred before their eyes...

Rainbow Dash opened her mouth and said slowly at first, "That..Was…AWEESOMEE! I mean did you see that! How he just used that one attack and just blew that guy with the wings to pieces like nothing! I wonder what he would've done to that other one if it wouldn't have escaped!"

Rarity was just as excited as everyone else, "I think that giant has the most beautiful shades red and blue, my, just the way the colors go is simply gorgeous!" The whole group was frantic about the event for a minute, but then realized; Cory was gone..

But soon over the field came Cory running, calling their names. "Hey guys! Over here!"

"Cory!" They shouted. All were all relieved to see him alive.

Twilight wrapped her hooves around him in a tight embrace. "Don't ever scare us like that again!".

"How did you even survive, if that's ok if I ask…?" Fluttershy said quietly

"Well, least we know were all ok, safe and sound." Rarity sighed.

While all the other ponies rejoiced over each other being alive and safe, and each and every one of them told Cory about the story of the fight between the giant and the two monsters. While this happened; Twilight sat down, and began to think. "That giant, what is his name?" She pondered. "When I get back to the library I'm sure to do some research on him."

"Yeah, what is his name?" asked RainbowDash. All the ponies thought quietly for a moment.

Cory looked on towards the sky where Tiga departed just a minute ago. "Ultraman…His name is Ultraman… Ultraman Tiga..."

Ultraman Tiga Chapter 3

Behemoth of the Mountain

Intro music: Take me higher

Ultraman being awakened and the defeat of the monsters was not only heard of in Canterlot and Ponyville, but all over Equestria. News about the new hero swept across the land, and was in nearly every conversation between ponies. It was the begining of a new and fascinating, but terror filled era.

Cory awoke to the sound of Pinkie Pie bouncing up and down next to his bed cheering "Wake up CorCor! I've got breakfast all ready down stairs! I got it done about two hours ago and the I realized it way way way WAY to early and so then I came back up stairs and decided to watch you sleep until you woke up!"

Though honestly creeped out, Cory managed to keep a smile. "Ahh, sounds great." He sighed while rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Pinkie looked at him with her big blue eyes. "Oh you're gonna love it! I hardly ever have company over for breakfast! Well actually I've never even had company for breakfast! I've been so excited I forgot to breath, hold on" Pinkie took a deep breathe and held it for awhile before exhaling.

"Better?" Cory asked.

"Much, welp, see yah yah downstairs! Its almost done!" and with that the Pink Pony hopped down the stairs.

Cory just couldn't help but laugh, after he got done sponge bathing, he came down to the kitchen where The party pony was just filling the glasses with milk. The table was covered with apples, strudels, cupcakes, and two apple pies. Now, Cory was extremely fond of pastries and what not, but this was beyond his liking.

"Your up!" Pinkie said joyfully as she walked up behind him and pushed him towards the table, "Well, dig in!" No sooner had she said that her face as immediately plunged into her apple pie, devouring it in seconds as Cory took his third bite out of his.

"Um, Pinkie, don't yah think you should calm down a little?" Pinkie most likely didn't hear him. He didn't mind, he went back to eating his pie. When they were done and Pinkie ate all the leftovers,it was time to get their day going.

"I still just can't stop thinking about that giant from 2 days ago, no wait, I mean Ultraman! That was his name right?"

Cory nodded his head , "Yep, that's it. Ultraman Tiga."

"Oh, ok! Ultraman Tiga!" Pinkie chirped while hopping up and down.

Suddenly, Mrs. and Mr. Cake slammed open the door, they both seemed stressed and in a hurry, "Pinkie Pie!" They both shouted.

Pinkie smiled at her Aunt and uncle. "Oh, hi Mr. and Mrs. Cake, Whats up?"

Mr. cake came nearly eye to eye with Pinkie. "Apparently we just got an order from a family in Canterlot who are celebrating their child's 5th birthday, and its not often that we get such requests from, Royaaltyyyy" Mr. Cake passed out on the floor. Mrs. Cake payed him little attention, "We need you to help us with this order, it needs to be done within 2 hours!" Mrs. Cake said desperately.

"Oh, well um, me and Cory were gonna go to the market and get some baking supplies, help Twilight organize her library, then go with Rarity to find some more diamonds to help her with the dress she's making."

Cory patted Pinkie on the back of her neck. "You go Pinkie, I'll help Twilight and rarity out. The cakes sound like they desperately need you."

"You sure? Well i mean i could Toooootally do all before sun down, but-"

"Its fine, I can do it. No prob" He reassured.

"Oh, ok, thanks! Not only are you the best baker buddy, but the best helper buddy!" She gave him a tight hug while nuzzling his neck.

"Pinkiee!" Mr. Cake groaned as he groggily stood up, "Were runnin outta timeee...!"

Pinkie turned to Cory, "See yah later!" And with that the cakes pulled her away and sped off.

Cory walked to Twilight's house and found her reading a new book, "Hey Twilight, what yah readin?" Twilight looked up from her book, "Oh, hey Cory, wheres Pinkie?" She glanced down to her book and flipped through a few more pages.

"Apparently she had to help the Cakes with an order, Heh, did they sound stressed." He laughed.

"I'm sure they did. Hey, come take a look at this book, its very interesting!" Cory walked over to the purple unicorn and took a look, there he saw a giant humanoid figure holding a sphere between his hands. "Is that, Ultraman?" He asked

"I guess so" said Twilight, "Look, it has a lot of illustrations on him, but not a whole lot of information."

Cory raised an eyebrow, "Which means?"

"Which means ponies know almost next to nothing about him, I guess he's been turned to stone for so long no ones been able to document any information about him. But the next time I see him, I'll be sure too!" The unicorn announced proudly.

"Heheh, good, we need all the info we can get." He glanced around her library. "All the info we can get."

"Well, I guess these studies can wait for later, lets get organizing." Twilight glanced around the room. She rolled her eyes when she realized her little Protege's absence. "Spike! You said you'd help me and Cory out today, where are you?"

"Coming!" yelled her little protege, and after a hour of cleaning and reorganizing, the three were finally done. Cory realized he was almost late to help rarity, "Hey twilight, I really gotta go. Catch up with you guys later, see yah!"

"Bye Cory!" replied both Twilight and Spike.

When he arrived at the Boutique and entered through the door, he didn't see Rarity anywhere. But he did see the adorable Sweetie Belle, who barely came above his knee. "Sweetie belle, is Rarity gone?"

Sweetie Belle shook her head, "She's been up in her room testing different fabrics, she's been workin all day.."

Cory gave the little filly a confused look, "Aren't you gonna help her?"

"Are you kidding? Rarity never lets me even touch the sewing machine, let alone her good fabric."

Couldn't help but laugh. "Well that's Rarity for yah. Yesterday when I had a few blue berries in my hand she nearly had a heart attack." The two couldn't help but laugh.

"Cory? Is that you darling? Oh thank goodness!" Cory saw the white Unicorn trot down the steps to meet him. She used her magic to fold a few sheets of fabric and place them back in her wardrobe. "I was worried that you two wouldn't show up and-, wait, you don't have any berries on you, do you?"

Cory turned his pockets inside out for Rarity to inspect, nope, no berries. "Terribly sorry dear, I'm just so stressed by this dress and I need it to be perfect."

The human waved his hand dismissively. "I understand, pressure never helps much sometimes."

After an hour long walk, Rarity and Cory made it too the area of where Rarity and Spike usually harvest diamonds for Rarity's projects. "Alright, may we begin?"

"Yes we may." He smiled while twirling shovel in one hand.

Rarity's horn began to glow, leading her towards a patch or diamonds, "Over here Cory!" she shouted.

Cory instantly dug up the patch of diamonds, after several more dig ups, the wagon was about full. All that shoveling and mulching he did at home sure helped. "Thank you ever so much Cory, you've done me a great deal of help, much appreciated"

Cory was wiping his hands clean of dirt. "It was nothing really, just helping a friend".

Suddenly, Rarity's horn began to glow once more, "Oh, I guess there's more over here. Over by the base of that mountain."

Cory walked over to the mountain and began digging. He had to hack away at stone with the tip of the shovel, but then he felt even more resistance, suddenly, the ground began to quake, and the whole side of the mountain began to crack. Cory ran back to Rarity who was still inspecting for more gems, "Run Rarity!"

Rarity turned around to look, and she immediately took off running with Cory, but then they heard a peculiar roar, the sound of a large monster. Rising from the side of the mountain was the monster Gakuma, whose bellows could be heard throughout all the valley. He looked around, and noticed the human and the pony standing underneath a low lying mountain ledge. Gakuma was extremely territorial, and did not even allow the smallest of creatures in his territory. With an earth shaking bellow, he crawled out from where he rested.

Cory tugged at Rarity's mane, "Lets run! Come on!" He darted away from their hiding place, but noticed Rarity did not budge. She was too frightened to even move. If he ran back to get her, then both of them would surely be killed. Then he got the craziest idea, he began picking up stones and with all his might, began chucking them at the monster.

"Heyyy! Over here! Come on you bastard! Come and get me!" The angered monster then charged at Cory, intending on crushing him to pieces, Cory then ran as fast as he could, and hid inside what used to be a bear den. Pulling out the spark lens from his pocket, he remembered the giants words, "Use this, when you cannot protect precious lives on your own."

"Don't let me down." He said to the relic, and with that he raised the spark lens in the air pressing the switch. The emblem on the relic unfolded, and Cory was enveloped by light, finally invoking the Tiga warrior within him.

Doing a flip in the air, Tiga landed in front of the him, then grasping the horns on its head. Using all his strength Tiga raised Gakuma off his front legs, uppercutting the beast before kicking it in its softer underbelly. Gakuma roared in pain and anger as he fell to his back, angered and shocked by what had just happened. Tiga would not allow him to regain its footing, pinning the monster down with his knee on Gakuma's neck, Tiga delivered a series of punches and knife hands to the Gakuma, causing him to shriek in pain.

Rarity watched in amazement at the battle before her, never had she seen the fight this close . Tiga's fist charged full of destructive energies, but before he could do so much as punch Gakuma, his front claws elongated, and lashed the warrior of light across his chest, knocking him onto his back. As Gakuma got to his feet, his horns pointed forwards, and his talons elongated, now he was truly ready to fight. Roaring, the beast charged at Tiga, his horn stabbing into the hero's armor like skin. Tiga fell back, clenching is injury, struggling to stand up.

Gakuma saw his chance, and fired his blue stone ray, striking Tiga's leg, creating a stone coating around it, then at the hero of lights other lig, and then his mid section. Tiga could not move, he was stuck firmly to the ground, and with the blue light on his chest started flashing red, he knew was running out of time and energy. He had to do something, and fast. Making the gem on his forehead flash red, the hero thrusted his fists downward, and the shock wave of power surging through his body shattered off all the stone, his colors turning to Red and Silver. Gakuma roared in surprise, no being has ever gotten out of that of his adversaries new form, he charged at Tiga, intending to gore the hero with his horns.

Tiga, now in his Power mode stood there, awaiting the attack, and right before Gakuma's horns could touch him, he grabbed one of them before chopping both of them off with his hand, making Gakuma shriek in pain. Grabbing the stumps Gakuma had left of his horns, Tiga lifted up the monsters head, upper cutting Gakuma in his stomach.

Gakuma tried to lash Tiga with his claws, but the hero grabbed the talons on his right front leg, crushing and splintering them off, and with that, tossed the broken beast over his shoulder. Gakuma desperately tried to get to his feet, but to no avail, he had lost even the strength to even do so much as stand. He had lost this battle, and he knew it.

Tiga needed to end it, and fast. Thrusting his fists down again, he gathered UV Rays from the sun into a ball of red destructive energy between his hands, before throwing it at Gakuma, blowing the stone monster to pieces.

Rarity slowly crawled from her hiding place where she watched the battle, and looked up at the giant in pure awe. Ultraman looked back at the small pony. She couldn't believe what she had just saw, the sheer might, the power... Rarity felt that she was looking into the eyes of a god, one who's power radiated off his body. Ultraman gave her a slight nod before flying away.

Rarity stood there, watching as the hero soon became merely a speck in the sky.

"Rarity!" She heard Cory call, "Are you ok?" Rarity turned to see Cory walking towards her. She was relieved to see he was ok, "Yes I'm quite alright, how did you escape from the-"

Cory cut her off there, "That thing about killed me, but then Ultraman came out of nowhere and saved me."

He looked at the white mare, she was still shaken up from the event, "He's quite the fighter, right?"

Rarity only nodded. "Well," she sighed, "At least were both in one piece."

"Couldn't agree with you more Rarity." he lifted up his shovel and grabbed hold of the wagon,"Now lets go, you've got yourself a dress to make.

And with that, the two of them took a long trip back to Ponyville in the sunset. They had been away much longer than they thought, and it was a busy day for the both of them, especially for Cory.

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!"

XXX

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.
