Arrival
The outer reaches of the solar system were dark, with no light ever reaching the lonely corners the planets on the outer edge were unlit preventing life from coming to these otherwise habitable planets. Several hours after several meteors had passed through the system a strange event occurred.
A greenish mountain flew through the outer reaches, propelled by massive engines in its rear, as it reached the inner edges a red ball of light went the same path the mountain had, as it approached a series of meteors right behind the mountain like thing exploded, the a series of red streams of energy flew from the mountain striking the sphere. Then with a burst of speed the mountain like thing escaped into the darkness, towards the warmth of a distant sun.
As the mountain vanished from view the crimson sphere came out, its light had faded but it's brilliant struggle against the crushing darkness and stillness of its surroundings suggested it was alive. Then it flew on the path its opponent had taken, a flash of light in a ever present darkness, then all returned to silence.
Ultraman Great theme:
On a small planet deep in the Solar System was a unique set of continents, many creatures lived there, the unnaturalness of many came from the mass of magic all around allowing evolution to create many strange and wonderful creatures. Perhaps one of the most unique groups of creatures were the sentient equines of Equestria, despite their oddities and peaceful natures they were a force to be reckoned with, mainly because the princesses rose and set the sun and moon on a daily basis, but also because of 6 rocks and their bearers.
These rocks are known as the Elements of Harmony, each possessing a power based on a segment of friendship that allows the 5 users to unite their stones and vanquish any foe. Many generations have stood with it and allowed the vanquishing of opponents like the juggernaut Tirek to the reality-warping Discord.
The current generation of those wielding the power, or at least one of them, was looking in the stars for studying reasons, her eyes took in the distant stars wondering if the thesis of Cloperncius regarding the stars as other suns not under the power of her Mentor, Princess Celestia. For now though her telescope was no help to prove or disprove the theory and it was late, turning the tiny body of Twilight Sparkle trotted towards the allure of her bed. As she got in and started thinking of what tomorrow would bring an event of epic cosmic proportions was happening right over the small town of Ponyville.
Some 100 miles over the town the massive rock formation was dying, the heat of the atmosphere finally broke in; the heat tore through the surface and broke in. The heat divided large chunks and the chunks left to begin their own struggles against the harsh shield of the planet below. About 60 miles in the chunks broke apart revealing metallic tubes which resisted the remaining heat and pressure from the atmosphere and charged to the unsuspecting lands below with their terrifying cargo.
Twenty minutes after she crawled into her covers Twilight Sparkle was thrown out of bed by three massive explosions in the town, rushing to the window her face fell as she saw three massive pillars with steam coming off them on the outskirts of town. Small fires lit up around the pillars, immediately the young unicorn turned and ran down the stairs, inside her body a shiver ran up she felt frightened whenever her thoughts turned to the new arrivals.
As she left the door she saw that the Pegasi had brought clouds in to check the fire’s progress and felt a little relieved to see that the capsules were being watched. As she got closer she could see a small group of ponies looking at the scene with various expressions, then a rumble was felt.
A familiar voice yelled “Get Down!” Having learned never to ignore a Pinkie warning (and break a promise with her) plus her own feelings on the capsules caused her to duck with most of the other viewers when all three capsules exploded.
Out of the far left capsule came a massive bipedal monster, covered in green seaweed like material, its two arms lifted up and it roared in a blind fury as heat from the explosion caused it to dry up.
Out of the far right capsule came another beast, it also looked bipedal but one could only wonder if the legs were for show, it mostly resembled a giant water balloon with a head near its ‘legs’ and two long arms on the side.
Out of the middle capsule came a large black draconian shape, without wings it looked almost pointless, powerful build suggested otherwise and the dark saurian turned to face the seaweed like biped and with a roar charged it. Surprised the other monster did nothing until the lizard like monster was on top of him while the big balloon charged in to join the melee with a roar.
The ponies first reaction was understandably to run from the fight at high speed, some screams cut through the night and unfortunately caught the attention of the seaweed monster who had slipped from the fight between the other two. Attracted to the sounds it walked forward and then roared in agony as a series of darts flew in front of it, the ponies that turned back saw little Pegasus flying at high speed near the creatures ears. Infuriated at this the monster started swinging around hoping to strike one of the little pests when the roar caught the attention of the dragon like beast.
Turning it saw the seaweed monster and grunted, the balloon beast turned and saw the escapee, and then both charged it with a single roar. Turning the large biped screeched and attempted to retreat when he saw his enemies not fighting each other, he sadly didn’t count on a certain blue mare coming in at subsonic speeds.
Her attempt caused the monster to screech along with the other two kaiju whose ears were savaged, the draconic like beast turned and waited while the other beasts fought for control.
As Rainbow Dash came in, the dinosaur beast Earthtron aimed and opened his mouth, out of his mouth flew a stream of compressed magma whose heat burned the land underneath it. Against the furry mane and feathers of a Pegasus they were catastrophic, Rainbow Dash screamed in utter agony as the heat caused fire on her body while air fed its hunger. As she landed her body went into shock preventing a call or action to be taken against the flames now devouring her body unnoticed to all from the confusion reigning.
As her body was savaged, a few hundred miles away in the castle of Canterlot was the resting place of the Elements of Harmony, almost as if responding to the distress of its wielder in Ponyville the blue gem glowed and sent a beam of light into the night sky as if it was searching.
Above the planet the strange orb flew to the upper edges of the atmosphere and seemed hesitant to go in when a blue ray of light struck through the atmosphere. For a moment the sphere is stopped but then charges into the atmosphere, unlike the first arrival the atmosphere gives no trouble to the sphere of light which was shielded by the blue ray.
As it approached the massive brawl the sphere vanished leaving a fast moving being that flew at unimaginable speeds towards the destination given by the Element of Loyalty. When he was 100 feet the inhabitant of the sphere finally understood and landed, the little corpse below him was breathing raggedly with a mighty effort. The being moved one of his two feet and kneeled, then he said “Awaken, inhabitant of this planet.” Then his eyes bright lights were quenched.
In a dream like world Rainbow Dash looked around, feeling like she had just been awakened. Her attention was then diverted to a towering being above her, looking down at her, she felt insulted and flew up to face the thing head on.
As she reached the top a voice said "Hello little pony."
Looking around she searched vainly for the source of the voice when the voice spoke again, "Rainbow Dash, if you want to talk to me instead of chasing shadows come to my head."
Looking up she saw the silver titans head and flew above his head so she looked down at him and said "Alright big guy, whatever we did to you and your posse years ago is going to be increased tenfold when I'm through with you!"
The giant chuckled and replied "An effective threat on others, however I am not one of the foes who come here seeking revenge for past defeats. I am here to inflict new defeats on your current foes. My civilization long ago came against a foe called the Gudis, we developed many strategies and weapons to defeat it. The foe is a sentient space virus whose purpose is to control what it can with its virus powers and destroy what it cannot have. It is dying, however it still holds many powers and plans to use them. The current monster infestation is proof enough as it stole these monsters from their homes and brought them here simply to cause pain on this planet to feed on.
However when I was chasing him the villain caused my power source to be wrecked during my chase and thus I must ask you one thing, will you host my strength so that if a monster from other capsules like this one or Gudis monsters in general I will fight while your magic prevents my energy from escaping."
Rainbow Dash's eyes widened and she looked at the giant from top to bottom, then again when she saw a strange red crystal in his chest, embedded in a small triangular plate it was cracked and occasionally a small burst of light flew out.
She then asked "What about me? I was..." the memory of the beam tore into her as she remembered.
"Rainbow Dash, your element is loyalty. I was called here to do this, your element did not do this my sake but yours, while you are my host your injuries will be healed. The only danger I have is if I fight too long but I have already put instructions into my crystal that if I fight for too long then my body will be forcibly dissipated until both of us can maintain my gigantic form." He explained.
The little Pegasus looked up and said "Why did my Element choose you?"
"We are vain, impulsive, foolish, and think too highly of ourselves for very good reasons. I cant see any other reason for the Element wanting to bond us two together." The giant (Halfway) jokingly responded, "I was shown your life from your cleansing of Luna until now, to punish Loyalty like yours with that brutal a death is cruel." He added somberly.
Rainbow Dash smiled and asked "How does it work?"
"Take this." A small pendant that looked like the Silver giants chest crystal appeared before her and she slipped it over her head, "Now focus on your element and a time you showed Loyalty and I shall rise."
She breathed as she thought, then images from her refusal of the Shadowbolts came in, the sense of loyalty returned from that moment, the pendants crystal glowed and beams of blue lightning went over her, the body of the giant then replaced her form and the giants voice said "Remember my host, we are ULTRAMAN!"
Then the world exploded with a shattering crash.
A small light flew into the upper atmosphere and then formed into the warrior of light who sailed through darkness flew towards the mighty beasts with a war cry, lots of weapons, and energy fueling his weapons.
The first indication anyone below had was when a strange whine was heard, the three monsters turned their heads to the as yet unseen newcomer, as the Ponies looked above they saw a bright meteor, Twilight's face fell as she said "Its the end."
The first indication this statement was a lie came when the being put its hands together above his head, palms touching. Out of his fingers came a stream of energy bullets that struck the three combatants causing them to roar in anger.
The three titans charged the alien who landed on both of his feet, the citizens of the town now saw their savior who walked backwards leading the creatures away from the town then after a dozen steps the giant sprung into the air and aiming a foot struck Earthron's horn sending it flying into the ground right behind it. Rolling away from the monsters the giant got up and saw an infuriated Earthron charging him, leaping into the sky he avoided the beasts counterattack and landed next to the horn. Picking it up he turned and saw the Seaweed monster charging him, the alien poured energy into the horn and as the monster came in to attack he struck. He threw the horn into its head, the energy went into the sea beast who roared pitifully as his skin crackled, and then the monster exploded into a billion pieces.
Satisfied the Ultra turned to where the giant balloon was and for a second stopped, then the massive form of the beast rolled over him with its head and arms in the body allowing a rolling motion. Then as it passed over him several pores on its body opened and sent sprays of acid on the Ultra. Smoking as the acidic spray touched him, Ultraman quickly got out of his daze and rolled from the beast.
Looking towards the dinosaur who was eying him, he then launched a few bolts of energy from his hands at the two kaiju who roared as the rays of plasma struck him. Earthtron then charged his beam and launched, turning Ultraman saw the heated magma coming and put both arms over his chest, the stream of lava then hit a barrier as it failed to hurt the Ultraman and instead struck a shield that had formed in front of him.
Takkong then placed its head in its body along with other limbs, and then rolled to the warrior who was prepared for this, as the beast was about to strike the humanoid warrior jumped onto its body and with his feet kept it moving and aimed at Earthtron. As the dinosaur realized what was happening it dropped its tough-guy stance and ran to the forest praying that the rolling would be stopped by the trees. Sadly he didn't count on one important thing; the friction that his running generated was far greater than Takkong’s rolling.
Pinkie Pie, from a hidden position saw the giant leap off and said "I wonder if he's nice? Maybe he could show me how to do that trick? Maybe he likes cake? If he's good I'll throw a party for him! But how do I know he's nice?" Next to her several ponies turned to each other, however the thoughts of Pinkie Pie, well the sane parts, nagged their minds.
In the fight Ultraman mentally ticked off seconds, time was passing quickly, 65 seconds since he had arrived and he was down one opponent, but the time limit was in his mind along with his hosts’ condition. Then he kicked Earthtron to the ground and faced Takkong and decided to take a chance, kneeling he pulled his right arm back and threw it forward, out of his hand came an energy saw that sliced through the neck of the Blowfish like beast before vanishing into the stump, then the beast's corpse exploded vanishing into dust.
Turning to Earthtron for his final fight of the night Ultraman Great finally heard the dreaded noise, a strange whirring noise that announced two or more minutes of fighting were left. Cursing he looked down and was alarmed to see the white light of the power timer flashing, which meant his host was in mortal danger, thus one to one and half minutes left. He rushed the kaiju and struck it with an energy chop causing the monster to roar as a glowing crack appeared on his chest. He then continued to strike the beast with more chops causing more cracks to appear when he finally got the result he wanted as a crack didn't reveal blue but orange.
Then he jumped backwards and when he landed put his arms into a plus shape, the right being the vertical while the left horizontal. A stream of energy bullets flew out and struck the monster in the crack causing it roar pitifully as the energy soared into it. Then sparks flew out of it as the mighty kaiju fell to the ground dead, and then followed the example of the other monsters and exploded as well.
Satisfied the alien flew into the sky to recover his energy and send Rainbow Dash back to the world. As he got higher he saw a pair of lights, one golden, and the other silver. Both shone brilliantly in the lonely darkness, as he got closer he saw a pair of Pegasus with horns in the lights. Realizing who they were he stopped and said "You would be the Princesses of the Sun and the Moon?"
"We have much to talk about, we know you are friendly. Else you would've been attacked by us already. Now care to explain?" The white Alicorn said while the other eyed him evilly.
Thus Great began to explain, for a few minutes he explained the situation, bathed in the sunlight giving him radiation to maintain the Pegasus's lifeforce and his own at the same time.
After finished the violet Alicorn said "WE APPRECIATE YOUR ACTIONS, TAKE CARE OF THE BEARER IN YOUR CHARGE OR ELSE WE MAKE YOU PAY!" Then both vanished and Great's body vanished into a thousand lights which reformed into Rainbow Dash.
Then her glowing form was shot into a field right before a search party looking for her came near. When they approached they saw an unconscious mare with some burn marks on her, picking her up carefully they brought her to an aid station which prepared the worst cases for the hospital while caring for the less wounded.
As Rainbow Dash rested her mind was active, inside her mindscape she was face to face with the Silver warrior who looked at her, despite him being human sized he was still inexplicably taller than her by two of his heads(!).
“Little one, while I was talking to the princesses we came to an agreement, while you host me our bond is not to be revealed so to encourage you other and most important bonds on this planet. However if a creature like Discord performs his actions I have permission to allow you to transform publicly.”
“Hang on, then if a monster attacks-“
“Just do what you normally do and make it seem like your hurt when I come in.”
“Oh, don’t want to be known as a coward.”
“That’s one thing nobody can accuse you of.”
“Alright, can I res<Yawns> now?”
“Yes.”
Then the mindscape vanished and Rainbow Dash was at last asleep. Next Chapter: Chronicle 2-Gudis Strikes! Estimated time remaining: 36 Minutes
