Chronicle 3 Part 1-The attack of the Sea Titans!

High above the planet of Equius, a large rectangular silver vessel with no markings traveled at a snail's speed, as the sun moved to awaken the continent of Equestria the front of the ship opened revealing a diamond like device, as the sun was in front of the vehicle the diamond glowed with a sudden intensity. Then two beams of light shot forth from the underside of the vessel. Where they went was anyone's guess, with this completed the vessel picked up speed and flew away.

Onboard a small train on a branchline Rainbow Dash was curled up into a ball, her eyes closed and a light snore emanated from her throat, inside her head she was doing anything but resting.

In her dreams she was flying above the green fields of Ponyville, the wind blowing against her mane as her speed increased from normal pony speed to Rainbow Dash speed, the barrier of air around her increased, however it was changing colors from white to a rainbow set of colors. As she thought the barrier would break a blast of energy announced what she wanted, she then flew into eternity, her body flew up into the sky. Then she flew out of the sky and into the boundless seas of space, galaxies, stars, planets, suns, cosmos, and meteors of all shapes and colors greeted her, stunned at the beauty and radicalness of this sight she stopped. Her mouth dropped before seeing a familiar sight, Ultraman was in the distance looking at a small planet, some 298,000 feet wide and long. It had a cerulean glint while few clouds were in the sky, it was bathed in a small suns light, around it was a small crystal device shaped like one of the Trapezoids Twilight looked at.

She then moved to him and then before she picked up speed realized his body was right next to hers. He was normal sized which meant he was still bigger than her but not by much. Rainbow then said "Um, Great?"

The Silver giant jumped and turned to her, "Ms. Dash? What are you, how? Ahh." He then shook his head as he said "Dummy I am, our dreamscapes merged." her eyebrow raised and Ultraman said "I let our minds synch with each other allowing us to access our thoughts. Foolish of me."

"So what are you doing here?"

"Remembering my home planet. Its been some years since I've been there." He replied after a moment.

"That's your home?" Rainbow asked, looking at the planet and sun it looked very complex to live on.

"Where I was raised, my home planet is some distance. However I consider this planet my home." Ultraman said with a sudden wince, Rainbow then saw he looked uncomfortable and decided to press later.

"So why are you looking here?"

"To remind myself of this planet, if you were on a little planet many miles away from your home wouldn't you look at the sky to see your sun, a tiny speck but proof of the home you love?" The silver warrior said with a little sadness coming through.

"How long has it been since you were home?" Rainbow asked.

"113 years." came the reply.

Her eyes opened as she tried to comprehend living that many years away from home, or at least an equivalent in Equestrian terms, finding none she said "Wow."

"To you a lifetime, for me an unpleasant phase in life."

"Do you forget?"

"Forget Pinkie Pie, Twilight, the others, Gudis and the weird things I fight weekly? That'll be impressive if I manage it, in all seriousness though, no. I try not to as often I grew during these years as a creature and I may have a technique that can call on, heck if I can study the Rainboom I'd be probably set for life."

"None that can beat mine in awesomeness?" Rainbow said with a smile.

"Yes, now lets-Wait a moment. COME BACK HERE!" A formerly distracted Ultraman then chased her through the mindscape.

Half an hour of real time later the two stopped and saw where they were.

"Back here. Interesting." he said.

"Can I see it?" She asked looking at the planet, he looked at her for a moment and then nodded a yes, excited both flew down to the surface, after a moment both touched down on the surface of the planet.

Looking around she was stunned at the impossibility of the planet, instead of the natural surface she was expecting there was a growth of crystal all over that absorbed the sunlight and glowed green. She turned when she saw a silver figure who passed through her, the figure's markings were almost identical to the one she knew. Looking at him the alien said "I cant imagine this planet without motion. This is a scene from my past after Agent 1451519 returned from fighting on a small planet called Earth, thankfully the inhabitants saved him from being killed by a being called Zetton with a recharge ray."

"Can I see him?"

"Considering he's one of my best friends and most faithful allies, of course." he said.

They walked through the planet, Great pointed out spots of interest while Rainbow just took in the scenery, it was interesting but so plain. Actually she was surprised that he came from here.

They then walked through a wall and entered a large dome like building, through several walls they walked until they reached a large bay. A large red sphere was at peace while the Ultraman who walked through Rainbow earlier was looking it over with another who strange head ornaments and a different figure than him.

"That is Ultra Mother, the second best fighter on our planet." He said pointing at the Ultra with the head ornaments, "and best healer ever." he finished.

"Whose the one next to her?"

"Zoffy who needs no introduction."

"He's so different, I mean you guys don't grow old but his face just looks older!"

"I knew it! Everyone said I was crazy but it seems everyone else who isn't an Ultra can see it!" Great cried.

Then the sphere vanished and another Ultraman was there, who looked worn, his body thinner than all other Ultras she had seen. His face battered, bite, burn, some parts looked rotted away.

"He stayed out way too long for his own good. His body never had a chance to heal the wounds permanently, if not for the human recharge ray I shudder to think what would've happened to him."

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know, the old man as I call him hasn't been taking calls for a few years. Chances are he's changing for the better."

"What does that mean?"

"We're like butterflies in some regards, in the fact our bodies morph."

"Isn't it enough you have super-rays?" Rainbow asked just imagining a super rainbow version of her companion which then appeared in front of them.

"Quite an interesting look for me. However I have a few millennium to go before I go through that." He chuckled before wiping it away.

"Well this has been interesting." She commented as they fell silent for a moment.

"Agreed, its a pity you friends aren't here. They'd enjoy seeing some sights of the universe." Great replied.

"Maybe one day?"

He shook his head in agreement and said "So where are going? Excuse me for not knowing but I was talking with Zoffy earlier."

"You can do that?" She remarked, "Ever since yesterday when he made contact."

She then nodded, from what she knew perhaps surprise shouldn't be her reaction but still it was amazing, "Well a giant storm cloud's heading to Manehattan, and the brass has been calling for every Pegasus in Equestria and beyond."

"That large?"

"Yep, happens once every few hundred years apparently when enough clouds build up in other places."

"Well hopefully hundred to thousand year old opponents wont be a common theme."

"We've only had two. This one storm and Nightmare Moon, no that thing didn't count." she added the last part as a the Kaiju from Nightmare Night reappeared.

"Still, they say things come in three."

"Whose they?"

"Wise people like those of Earth who one day faced one monster, went to bed and then found 100 others trying to crush them the next morning."

"Alright then. I think I'm getting famished and going by the size of the job there'll be few breaks so might as well see if there's something."

"Good plan, see you later and remember I'm here if things go south."

"Got you."

She then left and Great's surroundings turned back to a reddish cloud like structure. He laid back and mulled over events of the past week or so, then he went to view his surroundings through the pendant.

Rainbow Dash woke up and stretched, around her multiple pegasus of many sizes and colors talked with each other, she just went through to the dining car where the last of a buffet stood, worried she got some food and then sat down to eat. Quickly finishing she then went and while the train headed to Manhattan at top speed, once the mighty steel engine arrived the Pegasus quickly were guided to a series of large tents where thousands more were being led, then a voice said "Ponyville Pegasus head to Tent 45!"

Rainbow and her fellow Pegasus went to the aforementioned tent and were quickly seated in front of a map of the seas leading to Manehattan, in front of them a old stallion who had seen many a storm going by the scars said "This is the situation, two days ago a Griffin ship was swamped by a massive set of waves caused by a 200 mile wide storm, the storm has been heading here. Now your part of the second wave, the mission for your wave is to clear storm clouds away once the first wave will clear out concentrations of thunderclouds! Now your flight profile is this, at 2 P.M. you will head to the area of the storm at an average of 45 wingflaps a minute, and I mean regular wingbeats." He added glaring at Rainbow Dash who then looked around as if she was looking for the one he was talking about, he then nodded and said "You'll past first wave on the way, keep to their left or your right! Then your flight profile is to 'stab' the storm and break the big storm into 10 major parts which the third and fourth waves will clear. After they return and depending on the amount left we'll send you out. Now you have an hour to prepare, I want at least a half hour devoted to stretching. The rest of the time I want you looking at the map and a leaflet on how we want it cut! DISMISSED!"

He then grabbed the map and brought it outside before setting it on a small picnic table where a pile of leaflets was set next to it. Then he turn to the tent where the Pegasi watched him and then called "PERMISSION TO LEAVE, GRANTED!" Then flew off to talk with other grizzled veterans.

"What an interesting fellow." Great remarked as the host pegasus left the tent.

She just smiled and rolled her eyes before whispering "Just interesting?"

"Eccentric, perhaps." the alien admitted, "Reminds me of several people who saw too many suns in a row."

Smiling she then barked out "Alright chumps, to the training field!" the little pony shot into the sky followed by her fellow pegasi.

Landing she set them and herself onto a set of training exercises meant to loosen their muscles and get rid of cramps before they happened. After a half hour she was broken out of her focused state by the Ultra who said "Time for map reading."

The Pegasus then said "That's enough! Lets head over to the table and look over the flight plan. Then we leave." She then flew up again followed by the strangely quiet ponies.

Ultraman noticed and said "They seem nervous."

"Don't blame them, heck I'm only being this happy to calm them." came the whispered reply.

Then the others came in and she looked over the flight plan and smiled, not too difficult and the mission profile was made by someone who knew what they were doing, turning she said "They finally got a map maker in!"

The others smiled on hearing that when a voice from another team in their wave said "Aww, my sister wanted to do that map. She does quite well in her kindergarten class." causing chuckles from all around before a whistle from a pair of older pegasi quieted them.

After a half hour of discussion with other Pegasus a bell rang and then a voice yelled "WAVE 2 to report at starting position."

Hurrying the second wave of around 100 ponies set themselves up at a starting position marked out by a red circle, after a minute of preparation and counting of ponies a whistle marking the go signal was blown.

The four groups of around two dozen ponies lifted off and headed to their destination, after reaching the halfway mark Rainbow Dash was looking, marked as the head of this group of ponies she was glad that they were colleagues, flying close to one she called out "Hey! Who do you think they got to be first wave?"

The pony replied "Don't know and probably the ones who spilled all the jelly donuts in the rain machine last week!" they burst out laughing when around fifty streaks passed them. Looking at each other they gaped as the significance came over them of those streaks.

"No."

"Way."

The flights smiled as the Wonderbolts flew to rest and recover from their work of disruption of the storm formation itself.

The little cyan mare shook as Ultraman said "Let me take over for a moment, you need some private time."

For a moment Ultraman took over and adjusted her body for greater endurance while Rainbow Dash leaped with joy inside the Ultra pendant, after a few minutes her consciousness reentered the body and the alien warrior returned to his pendant.

"Better?"

"Much." she replied quietly.

"I have a question while we head to this stormbank. You are a better flier in all respects to them, why do you want to be part of them?"

Rainbow Dash smiled, then replied "Recognition, one I'm on the top I will be marked as the best flier in all classes. Ever wanted to be part of a group of your people who were the best?"

"I understand now, and for your information I am on a group like that. I was curious if our feelings matched in that regard."

"Do they?"

"No, my motives are cloudy. One day I'll explain on this."

"But I've-"

"I enjoy your people too much to unleash that old jar of demons on them, to me its ancient and recent history. Let us say that I've had some troubles with my family's past. That's all I can say, legally."

"Legally?" she said eyes widened when a pegasus next to her said "Whoah."

She snapped out of her conversation and then her jaw dropped as she saw the massive storm.

"That's impressive for this planet." he said.

"Now I see why the call for all Pegasus in Cloudsdale factories."

The next few hours were spent breaking the storm apart into more manageable sizes for the next waves, the tireless efforts yielded results and the 100 or so pegasus formed up tired, drenched, smelly, and in need of a grooming but victorious in their mission.

They flew back guided by small little dinghies with large lights on the surface of the water, grateful to those manning them the Pegasus shook their wings and kept flying on back the city. At the halfway mark they passed the third wave who seemed stunned at their colleagues conditions and flew past giving the returning wave more leeway, on the way back 1 or 2 pegasi floated down to the dinghies while their colleagues kept note of which boats were there.

As they returned Rainbow Dash ached and longed for a bed when a shape on the shoreline caught her attention, at first she thought it was a trick of the eyes but as they got closer the Pegasus groaned. On the shore was a large Quadreped beast, massive scales faced its back while a glowing horn sat on her snout. The beast just sat, its eyes looking out to sea.

She then whispered in a hoarse voice "What is that doing here?"

"So thats what created the storm." Came his voice, "Prepare for trouble. That my dear is Seamons, a pregnant one at that."

"And?"

"She is a massive sea titan who mates with the sea titan Seagorath. When preparing a nest they send massive 100 ft. tidal waves accompanied by storms to sterilize the area, they then use the debris to make a nest for their children called Minigora."

"We did all this, for-."

"I promise the work will not be undone. Wait until the waves appear, your signal will be her roar being answered. I'm going to send an inquiry to several patrols on where these guys came from. Seamons and Seagorath were not on the travel list with Gudis." He said before his presence vanished as he began his work.

The group avoided the sea titan and landed in their zone, quickly they were led to a series of tents where drinks and beds were offered. The drinks went however the Ponyville residents were uneasy at the appearance of the fifth monster in their land while those from other towns and cities talked to them eager to know what to do if they should attack and about the fights between Ultraman and those monsters.

As the twilight arrived Seamons moved from her position as water started to seep from the shore, then she roared, in the distance a mighty roar was heard in return.

Then in the distance the water rose and a bright light in them matching the intensity and glow of Seamons announced the arrival of Seagorath.

Inside the camp Rainbow felt her heart fall as the enormity of the waves became present when he returned, "Let me guess, its mating time."

"What can you do?"

"Just wait and see, HENSHIN!"

The cyan mare stopped and whispered "Henshin?"

"A term the agent you saw picked up, it means change."

She shook her head and headed into an empty supply tent and focused, the pendant made a warbling sound as she focused on her element, then Great was superimposed over her, and with a loud burst the alien came into existence.

The pony sized alien then shot into the sky at speeds exceeding Mach 40 and then crashed down in front of Seamons who waddled back in surprise at the intrusion, but the silver warrior ignored her and just watched the oncoming waves, now Seagorath was visible riding on top of the waves, although he seemed to be having the time of his life.

He turned to the encampment and noticed large amount of royal guards coming in, he then connected with all of them, "Cover me." He said, then walked onto the beach, his weight of 30,000 tons sinking him into the sand while he started to glow. As the wave began its final motions before crashing he put his arms on his chest in a 'X' position and lifted his head, then gave a battle cry.

His body lifted out of the sand and then began to spun as if he was a giant top instead of a silver warrior, as his revolutions increased from one to 1,000 a minute a series of red circles went around the body, then they flew outwards in front of the massive tidal waves and formed a wall, then the Ultra stopped spinning, facing the wall of his own energy he then then threw energy which came out as stars which dissipated into the wall, then he started throwing energy bolts into the way which vanished.

As the wave struck the area where it had been the wall of water stopped, Seagorath cried out in confusion as this happened while Seamons just roared in confusion, then Great pushed his arms outwards. As if in response the tidal surge fell back causing both sea monsters to wail, then lifting his arms up bursts of energy flew from his body and into the massive waves.

Then the water moved back sending Seagorath back out to sea with a pitiful wail being his only response. With one more swing of his arms Ultraman sent the last of his energy out and a minute later the sea level returned to normal.

On the shore the assembled ponies whistled and cheered at this act, then stopped as he fell face first into the ocean floor and Seamons charged him.
