Ultraman Tiga chapter 12

Warper of Dimensions

Intro theme: Take me Higher

Twilight slowly awoke from her sleep, stretching herself out as she leaned closer to the side of her bed. A bit, too much. Once again, she fell out onto her roommate with a loud thud.

"GIT EFF MEEE" he yelled out, muffled from his blanket.

Twilight immediately staggered off of him, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean too! Are you ok?"

Cory wrestled his blanket off of him, "Ok? OK!? You just fell full force on top of me! Of course I'm not ok! It's twice this has happened!"

"It's not like I meant too! So that doesn't mean that you can just yell at me like that, a-and…" She huffed out frustrated just realizing what she had done and tears began falling from her eyes into the floor.

Oh no. "No, Twilight, it-it's ok" He began spouting not knowing how to handle it and felt helpless as he just stood there, thinking of ways to comfort the crying Mare.

"Look, Twilight, I know I shouldn't have yelled like that. I'm just, not really a morning person and, just please don't cry? I'm sorry"

"O-o-o-ok" She hiccupped and tried to pull herself together.

"Here" Cory said, using his quilt to wipe her tears.

"You good?" He asked her and received a nod in return.

"Phew" He sighed and slumped back on the bed. "Let's just try to forget this happened, ok?" He said while holding his temples.

Twilight nodded, and smiled softly back at him, receiving one in return. He walked up the Purple Mare, and she stood on her hind legs while leaning against him, hooves on his chest. She rubbed her nose against his chin, "Ey, lets go get some Breakfast at the Fleur de feast, its on me." Said Cory as he scratched behind her ear.

"It sounds great," she said, and the two were off.

Half hour later, the two of them sat eating, with Cory having no choice to get a vegetable sandwich with cheese. It needed some sustenance, and he missed meat more than ever.

Twilight sipped from her glass of tea, "Well, from what Celestia tells me, they're still trying to figure out exactly how you got here. So far, it seems that there are no worm holes, but to sum I up they've made almost little to no progress at all."

"Hmm," he replied. He couldn't go, not for what he is in that Magical land. If he were to leave, then that would spell the end for the entire kingdom, but more importantly, his friends.

"How long will it be before they figure it out?" he asked.

Twilight shrugged, "They're not at all sure. In fact they're slowly giving up on the case."

That was when there was a large thud out in the distance. Ponies from all around stepped out of their homes. "What was that? Was it a monster?" they all questioned. Cory could feel his Spark Lens pulsating energy in his pocket, something was certainly up. "Think we should check it out Twilight?" he asked.

"Alright, but lets not get too close unless it is another monster."

In fact, it was not a monster at all. When the two of them (followed by a group of Ponies from town) went to investigate, what they saw surprised Cory most of all. What caused that was a large, World war ll German Battleship, the crimson Flag with the Swastika in the middle of it still fully intact. "But how!?" Cory yelled. Twilight turned towards him, "Cory, you know what this is?"

"Yeah, its, it's a Battleship! I'm guessing its all the way from World War ll, but, how the hell did it get here? Its from… My…" Cory got a splitting headache, all this was too much to take at the moment.

"Where, you come from?" AppleJack asked, walking through the crowd.

"Yeah, but, where I come from these things are almost 70 years old! And yet, this thing is intact, as if it was just made yesterday…" He walked up the hill, listening in to the astounded voices of the Ponies. It was huge, larger than he thought they were. He placed his hand on its steel hull, it was really there all right.

RainbowDash inspected the long barrels of the cannons, "What are these things? They look, hollow?"

Pinkie Pie suddenly popped out of one of them, covered in black powder, "Beats me! But they're funnerific! If I only had enough Confetti for all of them, Ooo could you imagine i-ooo!" She was pulled from the cannon by Twilights magic, "Pinkie, you shouldn't be messing around inside of that, it could be dangerous! Right Cory?"

Cory leaned against the ship, completely lost in thought.

Twilight pondered for a moment as well, "I think we should meet with Princess Celestia, immediately."

Few hours later, the seven of them were on their way to the Royal Castle. Cory sat down, pondering on what was going on, "That thing, maybe, if we find out how it got here, it could figure out how I got here as well… Considering that I come from where it does as well.."

"That's a good point dear, but are you sure that the Princess knows whats going on?" Rarity asked.

RainbowDash rolled her eyes, "Of course she does, she's the Princess, remember? She'll know, right Twilight?"

"We can only hope" said Twilight.

When they arrived at the castle, the immediately ran to Celestias throne room, where they saw her, pacing back and forth on the Crimson rug. Twilight quickly approached her, "Princess Celestia! Somethigs terribly wrong, its-"

"I know…" she said, her back facing Twilight, "I swore that I had gotten rid of him, but, now it seems he's come back.. My suspicions have been right.."

Everypony else was confused, "What'cha talkin bout Princess?" said AppleJack.

"And evil foe, one that I thought I had beaten many years ago has returned. One who's far worse than Discord, even worse than the Changelings. But I see he has comeback, his name, is Goldras…" Celestia nearly shook at the sound of his name.

Twilight raised an eyebrow, "Goldras?"

"Yes, he's a Dimension wanderer, wherever he goes, he opens up a window, ripping someone, or something from their dimension, and tossing them into another world. Worst of all, for his fun he'll either tear one apart, or place two together, preferably opposites, that way the two will Perish. Not only that, but a side effect from going dimension to dimension is warping time as well…" Celestia lowered her head, " It's a tragedy all in all…"

Cory pondered, "So… It makes sense now…. That thing, must have been how I got here! Before I passed out in my home world, I heard what sounded to be a giant monster, then everything cut too black, that thing must be how I got here in the first place!"

Celestia nodded, "I'm afraid so, but, there is more crushing news that goes with this."

Twilights ears perked up, "What would that be?"

Celestia seemed to have difficulty letting out her sentence, "You must understand, if we are to save our world, Goldras must be destroyed once and for all.. However, once he's destroyed, then everything will go back to where it came, meaning, Cory, will have to go back to his home world.."

Everypony gasped, and Cory's eyes widened, "What!? No!" cried Twilight.

"He can't leave! He's our bestest friend!" shouted RainbowDash.

"Isn't there any other way?" Fluttershy yelled, but it still sounded soft..

Celestia shook her head, "I'm afraid not.. I'm sorry to tell you this, but it has to be done for both the safety of our world, and others."

They all left the Castle afterwards, each one with sadness in their eyes, "Were gonna miss yah there partner," said AppleJack while readjusting her Stetson, she was holding back her tears.

Cory slowly exhaled, "Yes, but, if it means that you'll guys will be safer, then I'm willing to go home. At least I know you guys will be alright,"

"Twilight, do you think that there's a Spell you can use that can help keep him here?" Asked Rarity.

Twilight shook her head, "I don't think there is, something like this has never happened in Equestria's history, so I doubt that any spell of mine would possibly work."

They all went for lunch, the entire time Cory sat there, completely spaced out. He wondered what would happen when the time came for him to fight off Goldras, and would the defeat of this creature mean the end for his life here? He couldn't go, not yet a least. There was still much more evil left in this world, and if he was gone, then all the friends he came to know would Perish. PonyVille, Canterlot, all would perish.

RainbowDash waved a hoof in front of his face, "Hellloooo? Earth to Cory? Anyone home?"

He snapped out of it, "Hehh? Whaat? Rainbow?"

Rainbow broke out into laughter, "Hahaha your so random! I mean, always spacing out and stuff."

"Yeah.. I'm gonna go to the counter and order another drink.. Later."

Twilight turned to her friends, "Do you guys ever wander what goes through Cory's head? I mean, sometimes he just completely zooms out. "

"Maybe he's homesick?" Fluttershy suggested.

AppleJack took a swig of her Cider, "It must be hard on the feller to be away from his own kind for a while, I could only imagine what that boys got goin through his head, or how it feels to be away from home for so long."

Outside of Canterlot, the dark Mare stared at the city, an evil grin spread across her face, "Hahahaha, home to that foddler of a Princess, the one who banished me, long ago.. Well, soon, soon I shall show her my might, show her what I, Bogal, is capable of.. Now Goldras, now is the time to rise us, take back what is rightfully yours!"

A swirling Portal formed in the sky as it darkened, bolts of lightning and yellow energy struck the ground violently, and from the chorus of lightning materialized a monstrosity, its body covered in dark gold armor, but with ashy grey in some parts of its body. It bellowed towards the sky, now it was time to accomplish his revenge, starting by ripping this Dimension apart.

He waved his hand in the air, opening up a Portal that ripped apart the surrounding forest. Animals were torn to pieces from being yanked into the portal, tossed into worlds unknown. Trees were uprooted as Goldras roared with sick glee. The Mare appeared before him, "Yes Goldras, Now, Onwards to Canterlot, finish off Princess Celestia once and for all, that may Equestrias beasts shall rule this land, once more!" she turned her back to the raging monster, "And I, Bogal, shall be its ruler, I shall be its leader, and I shall send the Ponies, and their protector, to the pits of hell! Ahahahahaha!"

The Royal Guard immediately met up with Goldras, the winged Pegasi bringing in storm clouds, dropping enormous hail chunks the size of ponies. The stones of ice shattered innefectively againt Goldras, this only annoyed him. He snapped his fingers, and the clouds shot bolts of lightning at the winged Ponies, literally frying and knocking them from the sky. On the ground, the Unicorns fired blasts of energy from their horns, engulfing Goldras in fire.

"Hold your fire!" demanded their commander. Before the smoke cleared, bolts of Lightning ripped through the gray veil, incinerating the Ponies and anything they touched. The rest of the guard members retreated, now their fate lied in the hands of their protector.

The "Bogal" Mare walked over to an injured soldier, her deep purple eyes locked onto him. "Ma'am, you've got to get out of here, its to…tooo…"

The Stallion froze still as he looked at the horrifying sight before him. The Mare slowly morphed into some sort of Bipedal monster, her snout shrinking inwards, as two frontal facing horns sprouted from the sides of her head. Her hooves fused into hands, each with a single talon at the end, her tail turning into a scaled, reptilian one. Her eyes glowed with orange hatred, burning towards the cowering Pony.

"Insignificant horse, all of you, depending on your Tiga to fend for you… All of you, a disgrace to this land.. And now, you will see the full power of my Monsters. Behold, the rage of Bogal" With that, the lobes on her back enveloped the soldier, his screams muffled by them as she vigorously ingested the screaming Pony through her abdomen, armor, and all. She let out a shriek; it was now the true beginning, of her onslaught.

The Main six got off the train station at PonyVille, none of them talked at all on the train ride back. "Well? Are we just gonna stand here or we gonna hangout?" RainbowDash asked, a bit of annoyance in the tone of her voice.

Right behind the Train Station, there it materialized. Goldras materialized from the air, bellowing at the village of Ponies with rage. The Mane six and Cory stood there for a few moments frozen in fear, finally seeing the beast's true form.

"So, that's Goldras.. The one who brought me here…" Cory thought to himself.

"Whoooaaa Nelly!" yelled AppleJack.

"Quickly! We must get into the shelter!" said Rarity, almost fainting.

AppleJack carried the fainted Unicorn while they ran through the streets of PonyVille, Cory following from behind. When he saw the chance, he ran underneath some rubble left over from Sadora almost a week before. He pulled out his Spark lens, hesitant in pressing it.

"Don't worry, young hero, you'll be fine" said the voice of the warrior within him.

"But if I fight the-"

"You won't, you must believe in that. Do what I entrusted you to do, now fight."

Cory felt the courage rising within him as he held the relic higher into the air, before pressing the switch. Light rose from the ground as the Tiga Warrior took form, squaring off to Goldras. The Gold Monster roared in surprise to see that his old foe was still there, just as he was thousands of years ago. Goldras opened a Portal behind him, rushing towards it to escape his enemy. If he escaped, then the whole world would cease to exist, and Ultraman new this.

Tiga chased after him, grabbing hold of his tail, desperately trying to pull him away. Goldras roared in anger as he flicked the Ultra away from him with his tail, turning around to face the Tiga warrior, firing bolts of lightning at him, only to have them blocked by his Light Barrier. This bought him enough time to stagger back into his only escape route, leaving only a part of his tail behind. This enough for Tiga to grab hold of, he switched to his Power Mode and yanked on the elongated appendage, this time pulling him out with little to no trouble at all.

Now Tiga had him where he wanted him. He used all of hiskinetic energy to land a powerful back kick to Goldras, the impact setting off an array of sparks, and soon felt another to his jaw, shattering a few of his Ivory teeth.

From the surrounding woods, The Dark Mare watched the fight, watching pensively as her monster took a brutal beating, "Damn you… Ultraman Tiga.. Goldras will not fall as easily as my Sadora did, however, you certainly will." She said, licking her lips.

Goldras made impact with the ground as Tiga hurled him over his shoulder, the ground shaking as his body made impact. Ponies from the town were cheering on their protector. Tiga thrusted his hands down, gathering Solar energy for his Delacium Light Stream as fast as he could. He before throwing the ball of energy at Goldras.

To Tiga's surprise, a force field appeared before Goldras's body, blocking the attack before shooting it right back at Ultraman. He barely dodged it, the heat of it grazing his side as his color timer began to slowly flash. Goldras's horns flashed once more, cackling with energy as bolts of lightning struck the giant's chest, knocking Tiga back even more.

Twilight observed Goldras, noticing how all of his abilities came from them, "Tiga! Aim for the horns on his head, he's defenseless without them! Try striking there!" she shouted.

Tiga nodded to her, jumping into the air before landing infront of Goldras, grabbing hold of his two horns. Tiga sent jolts of energy into his arms, ripping of the ears from Goldras's head in a bloody display. Yellow fluid seeped if not sprayed from the injuries, making Goldras wail in agony. Tiga grabbed hold of the wretched time warper, and tossed him over his head like a rag doll.

Goldras groggily got back up, he was beat, and he knew it. As soon as he could stand on one knee, a blast of Tiga's Delacium energy struck his chest, ripping him apart from the inside out. He didn't blow into thousands of charred or bloody chunks, his body strangely,shattered like glass, and the portal overhead closed. The War planes and the Battle Ship turned to dust and disappeared. Ultraman's job here was done, he nodded to the crowd of Ponies as he took off, disappearing in the vast blue sky.

All were cheering except for Twilight. She sat there, ears flopped down as her body shook with sobs. Hot tears flowed from her eyes down to her snout as her heart ached in her chest, her breaths turning into short gasps as her eyes burned. That was when, she heard that all too familiar voice.

"Twilight!" it called. It was her imagination she thought, she wouldn't be surprised if such a thing was happening at the moment. But, it wasn't. He heart did a flip as she felt a five digit hand on her back, "Hey Twilight, are you alright?"

She looked up, and almost tackled him, Cory, to the ground as she embraced him in a tight hug. Her tears stained his shirt as she pressed her face against his shoulder, " I thought, that, that I would never see you again.. But your,"

"Yes, I know Twilight. Its alright now, I'm not going anywhere, not anytime soon at least" He smiled at her as she sighed contently against his chest.

"Well now, look whos still here!" said AppleJack, "My Partner, how'd you stay here and everythin else, just went tah dust?"

"I have no clue, its weird how I'm still here, maybe theres a twist to all of this," he knew the answer. Since Tiga belonged in their world, and him and Tiga were one, he could not possibly leave. But that meant he was no longer that basic teenage human he thought he was, but the Ultimate hero of light. As long as him and Ultraman were one, he would forever stay in Equestria.

Rainbow "High fived" Cory, " Thought you were gonna leave us bro, but hey, I'm not gonna question it."

"Yes," Rarity added, "As long as you're here, that's all that matters the most"

"Me too," Said Twilight as she gazed up at him, smiling sweetly.

The Dark Mare gritted her teeth in rage, "Damn you Tiga, you are more powerful than I had thought… Until Next time, just you wait, I shall return, more Powerful than before, and you, and your insignificant Mules, shall Perish!" She disappeared into a puff of shadows, going into her Slumber. She'd be back, but it was uncertain when. Whether it was the next day, week, month, or Millennia, she would certainly be back. But in the meantime, all that mattered to Cory was being around his beloved friends in Equestria.

It was what they all wanted the most.

Ultraman Tiga, End
