Ultraman Tiga Chapter 25

A Queens's bitter Grudge

Intro Theme: Take Me Higher

"My Queen," a small, dark colored insect like Pony buzzed over to where his ruler sat. She stared down to her subject, her dark green eyes pierced right through him, "I bring you terrible news… Our monster, Eleking, was cruelly slaughtered on its first attack on Ponyville…"

"What do you mean, slaughtered!?" she spat, "There is no force in all of Equestria that could stand up to his power!"

"From what we have heard, it was by the hands of a giant, one that the Equestrians call Tiga. Ultraman Tiga."

"Ultraman Tiga…" she remembered that name, long ago. The so called "Protector of Equestria." Her horn began to glow, using her magic to form a screen that replayed bits of the fight that Eleking endured. Since she had a special connection with the dragon race of Eleking, what Eleking saw, she could see. She saw her monster having one of its antlers snapped off; its body battered and tossed around like a rag doll. Even his own attack was used against him as a finishing blow.

"Who is this giant?" the screen faded as Queen Chrysalis gritted her teeth in anger, "How dare he kill my prized monster!"

"Ultraman Tiga, my Queen." Hissed one of her servants.

"Well, he may be capable of defeating my first Eleking, but luckily, I have another plan in store for him, and for that Princess who made a FOOL of me!"

"What do you plan on doing my Queen?"

Her eyes flashed green, "Well, let's see. Why not put on a little disguise?" her body shaped into a smaller Mare, one with an ivory coat, and a golden mane and tail. However, her eyes remained that shade of green. She trotted off from her throne, and towards the pond that was in the middle of her room. In the water, a serpent yet tadpole like creature swam around, occasionally discharging electricity from its body.

"Our time has come, my pet…" the creature allowed Chrysalis to lift him out of the water, screeching quietly as he faced his master, "Let us show these Equestrians our undying grudge, ahahahahaha!"

"HA!" he yelled, kicking the tree for a third time. This time, the apples came tumbling off the tree limbs and landed right in the baskets. Cory wiped the sweat off of his brow as he lifted the baskets right into the carriage that AppleJack had strapped to her back. When he was done, he sat back against the tree, stretching out his arms.

"Thank yah kindly Cory, Big Macintosh says that there's a big storm comin in, so its best we get these apples here in the barn before then."

"No prob." he said nonchalantly. AppleJack unhooked the cart from her back and sat down next tohim, "You ok partner? You seem, distant these past couple of days. What's eatin at yah?"

He let out a slow, steady sigh, "Ah, nothin. There isn't much to worry about.."

AppleJack poked him with her hoof, "Hey now sugar cube, Aye know when one of mah best friends are havin troubles. Now tell me, what's wrong?" She took off her Stetson and sat it by her side. Big Macintosh walked over to them as well. That same expressionless look was on his face as always.

"Is it cause you miss bein around yer own kind?" she asked, placing a hoof on his shoulder. No response, "Your parents?"

In fact it was. Not that they were gone, but because he was still yet to accomplish what they wanted him to be, happy… He was in a magical world, with talking Ponies. Not only that, but he was also loved by them, and love was something he would have never felt back at home. But still, he still felt as if something was missing. Like a piece to his near complete puzzle just wasn't there.

"I, guess you could say that.." he replied.

AppleJack took in a deep breathe, "Well, me and Big Mac can relate to that pretty easily now. Mah birth parents passed away when I was just a little filly, in fact Aya can hardly remember them. But Big Mac remembers a thing or two."

The Red Stallion nodded, "Eyup, but thems are just distant memories. Ah can barely remember our Pa teachin us how to buck them trees." He chuckled, "I may not know how you human folk act around family, but around here, family is the closest thing you can ever have." He took a seat on the left side of Cory, "Yah see, if you got a good family, you gotta enjoy when yah relatives are out and about. Cause there ain't no goin back when they're gone. But unfortunately, too many Ponies don't realize what they had until they lose it. For example, a family member dyin. When it happens, then they'd give almost anythin to have it back when it's gone." He gazed upon the hills of countless Apple trees, "And to this day, I sure do miss Ma and Pa…"

For such a quiet Stallion, Big Macintosh was pretty wise and smart, considering the fact he flunked out of school. Suddenly, the wind picked up, and to the amazement of the tree of them, they could see dark Storm clouds moving in from the Horizon. The weather Pegasi had really out done their selves this time, it seemed. Big Mac sniffed the air a few times before walking back towards the barn, "Ah'll get these last few carts in the barn real quick, ya'll go on ahead and get back inside."

The two of them speed walked into the Apple Families small country style home. Granny Smith was tending to their supper as AppleBloom sat in her chair, eager to have her dinner. AppleJack and Cory took a seat at the table, and of course, AppleBloom hoped right out of her seat and trotted to the chair next to Cory. He helped her onto the large stool and scratched the top of her head as she finally hunkered down. Big Mac eventually came inside as well, his fur coat slightly damp from the beginning storm.

After their meal, Cory noticed that the storm was still at its worst. He waited a couple of hours, and yet the wind continued to blow violently as the sound of thunder reverberated through their air. While the family sat around in the Living room, they noticed something, "AppleBlooms missing…!" said the human as he jumped out of his chair. AppleJack chuckled at him, "She's just up in her room sugarcube, don't worry. She always does that when a storm rolls on in. Speakin of rooms, I'm plum tuckered out. Come with me Cory, you'll be sleeping in the second bed in mah room."

Cory and AppleJack were both in their beds, almost sound asleep when they heard knocking at their door, "What now?" AppleJack almost shouted, "Come on in."

It was AppleBloom, she slowly opened the door and peeked in, "Um, AppleJack, Ah can't sleep…" she said, rubbing one of her eyes. AppleJack rolled her eyes, "Come on now Apple Bloom, you're not a little filly anymore. You need to learn that storms aren't going to hurt you"

Apple Bloom pouted as she turned around to walk out of the bedroom, her ears flopped downwards. Cory got out of his bed, and picked up the young pony, holding it like one would cradle a human baby, "Alright, I'll get you to bed, don't you worry." He smiled back to Applejack who nodded her head before rolling over onto her side.

He carried her all the way back to her bedroom, sitting down on the side of the bed with her still in his arms, "So" he began, "What's bothering you? Is it the storm?" The yellow filly nodded in response, seemingly ashamed by the fact of fearing the weather.

Cory smiled at her, setting her down on her small bed, "You know, when I was a kid, I was afraid of storms too, terrified in fact. I used to take all of the blankets and pillows off of my bed and huddle up in side of them with my pillows pressed up to my ears. Then one day, my father took away all of my pillows and blankets, and forced me to sit on the front porch with him as a big storm was going on."

"Were you scared?" she asked, sitting on his lap.

"Oh yeah, I wanted to go inside so badly. But then my dad started laughing. Then he told me, 'Son, never have I ever seen a kid so afraid of noise in his life' and then I asked, noise? He told me that all thunder is, is just noise, that's it. Now tell me AppleBloom, are you gonna let a little bit of noise that can't hurt you, bother yah?"

AppleBloom smiled as she shook her head, "That a girl" he said, scratching her behind her ear, "Now, it's time to get some sleep. Alright?"

She nodded and lay on her side as he pulled the blanket up to her chin. He scratched the top of her head a little before he made his way towards the doorway and blew out the oil lamp.

"Goodnight Cory, I love you."

He stopped right in front of the door; did he just hear it correctly? It had been a long time since he heard anyone say his name and love in a complete sentence. He felt a smile form among his features as he looked back at the little filly, her happy reddish gold eyes always could put him in a better mood, "Goodnight AppleBloom, I love you too." He opened the door and walked into the hallway, and he was immediately met face to face with smiling AppleJack.

"Never in mah life, has Aye seen anypony been able to calm down little AppleBloom like that, it just warms mah heart to hear it." The human could have sworn he saw tears slightly form in her eyes.

He rubbed the sleep from his eyes, "Well, I guess so, it was enough to have her say the L word."

"Well of course, yer like the big brother she never had" she elbowed him as they made their way into AppleJacks bedroom. They laid down in their separate beds as sleep eventually took them over. About an hour later, the door opened up as none other than AppleBloom walked into their room. She climbed onto the same bed Cory slept on and curled up next tom him, much like how a young puppy would to its owner.

The next morning, Cory and the others were called to Canterlot upon request by Celestia. Little information on why was given to them, but the letter did for a fact sound urgent. After they arrived, Cory however was dismissed by the group to go "Socialize". When Twilight made it to the castle, she was greeted by a very nervous Celestia.

"Princess Celestia," Twilight stopped right in front of her mentor and Discord who stood next to her, "We came as fast as we could."

"Thank you Twilight, thank you all. It has been brought to our attention-"

"Your attention," Discord mumbled.

Celestia rolled her eyes, "My attention, that recently Ponyville has been attacked by an electrical beast, am I correct?"

"Yes," Rarity nodded, "Do go on."

"After looking into the monster strange appearance, I discovered that he could have only come from one place and one only. The Changeling swamps…"

"Wait," Rainbow Dash interrupted, "You said that the monster came from the Changeling Swamp? Then that means…"

"Yes," Luna stepped out from the shadowy corner of the room, "We have been seeing signs of their possible return. Power outages throughout Canterlot, the sound of a shrieking roar, and some civilians have reported seeing small insect like ponies wandering around at night. We have been able to come to the conclusion that the Changelings have prepared yet another attack."

"It's no big deal, let em come and we'll have Tiga take care of it!" said AppleJack.

Shining Armor's horn began to glow, releasing more energy into the force field that surrounded Canterlot, as did Cadence, "Possibly, but with Chrysalis it may even be tricky for him. She's not an idiot. Heck, we almost were beat last time she invaded. Unfortunately I've been keeping this up for days now, and my magic's starting to run dry, which is another part of her plan."

"That's just another part of their plan." Celestia walked over to the window of the Throne Room, looking over her beautiful city, "Seeing one of their monsters is a sure way of showing that they for a fact have returned with the same malicious intentions. The monster, Eleking, must have been only the first strike to test us. Who knows what the Queen truly has up her sleeve. Whatever it is, it'll take all of us together and Tiga to defeat her if she plans on using her monsters."

Discord nodded in agreement, "Right, and as of now I'm in need at Saddle Arabia, apparently there is a massive drought going on. If you need me I'll be there, tata!" Discord snapped his fingers and he was then sitting in a beach chair, complete with a tanning mirror and sunglasses. A few seconds later, Discord had teleported away/

"Heh, nice to be able to hang around the guys," Cory thought to himself as he waved goodbye to a group of Stallions he hung out with at the gym. He was extremely surprised to see that they shared a similar sense of humor with humans about certain circumstances, and that made conversing much easier.

As he walked through the streets, he caught the attention of an Ivory Mare with a golden Mane. She followed him to a more vacant part of town where he laid back against a pillar of an old library. She managed to crawl from behind a Trashcan to a pillar that was just several away from where Cory stood.

As Chrysalis watched from behind a pillar, she saw Cory pull out his Spark Lens, looking over his small relic. The ore she observed it, she recognized the emblem on the top of it. It was the same exact markings of the giant that she saw kill her Eleking.

"Well, what do we have here?" she licked her lips, "Why hello!"

Cory whipped his head around just as fast as he plunged his Spark Lens back into his pocket, "Oh, hey! Is there a problem?"

"Oh no, I was just wondering what you were doing out here all by yourself. Not Everypony spends their time in these parts of Canterlot."

Cory scratched the back of his neck, " Yeah, I guess. So what brings you out here?"

Chrysalis had to think of a makeshift plan, "Oh, well, I just thought I'd go for a small walk around the city. These parts of town are quite. You know, Nopony else is around."

"True," he nodded, "Definitely gives me some time to think without Pinkie Pie detracting me from my thoughts." He chuckled.

"Pinkie Pie," she thought to herself, "The name of one of the Element Wielders! Is this being, allies with them?"

"So, I think I'll see you around." Cory waved goodbye and started walking back to the Town Square.

"Wait! Are you, close friends with the Elements of Harmony?"

Cory thought for a second, "Yes, I am. They've been my friends since I first came here. But I really have to…GO!?"

To his surprise, the White Mare he was just talking to began going through her transformation. Her body became black as night as her white coat was dissolved away, a crooked unicorn horn formed on her head, and on her back, a pair of insectoid wings came into view. Sharp fangs stuck out from her lips as she smiled, laughing mockingly at Cory as he pulled out his Spark lens.

"Ah ah ah! Don't want to get hurt now do you? You may have the Spark lens, but if you dare to try and fight me, your precious home in Ponyville will be no more! And I shall make sure of that!"

"Wait a minute.. I know you; Twilight and Cadence told me about the time you tried to take over Equestria with your changeling army… But I gotta hand it to yah, you had me tricked, but now that I know it's you..!"

As Cory was about to press the switch, the horn on Chrysalis's head released a beam of green energy, hypnotizing and putting him in an agonizing trance. He dropped his Spark Lens as he fell unconscious at the hooves of Chrysalis.

"One down, several more to go…" she laughed.

"Hello? He awoke from his state of unconsciousness, quickly taking in a deep breath as he tried to stand. He then realized that he was tied to the side of what appeared to be the inner wall of a large cavern. It was somewhat dark, and the air was thick with moisture. When his vision focused, he could see two smaller ponies standing right in front of him. At least, they looked like Ponies.

"Well well, it seems that he's finally awake," one of them hissed, "My Queen, I think that our guest is ready for your, conversation…"

"Oh is he?" Cory looked beyond the two to see Chrysalis walk between them; accompanied by a few more of her changelings, "How was your nap, little human?" she smiled as her eyes flashed green.

Cory said nothing. He slowly gritted his teeth as he desperately tried to reach for his pocket.

"BuzzKill, check the ,monkeys pockets." She ordered.

"Yes my Queen," he dug his porous hoof into Cory's pocket, removing the relic that shined in what little light there was. He placed it in front of Chrysalis, slowly backing away from her as he bowed. She levitated the relic with her magic, overlooking Cory's metallic transformation device, "Very interesting. Such a small thing can hold so much power. But let's just see how powerful it is!" She pressed the switch with her magic. Nothing…

"Heh, sorry to burst your bubble ugly, but the Spark lens works for me and me-" he was silenced by a slap to his face. He glared at Chrysalis as his anger made his vision grow foggy.

"What a disappointment… Well, as long as you do not have this, My and Changelings and I will be able to feed with little interference. After we kill Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and her husband Shining Armor, followed by the six wielders of the elements."

"Yes," hissed the changeling that robbed Cory of his lens, "And with Eleking, nothing can stand in our way my Queen!"

Chrysalis took Cory's Spark lens with her as they left him writhing in his bondages. He yelled in anger as he let his body relax. He brainstormed there alone in that cave about what to do as Chrysalis and her army plotted the downfall of Canterlot.. He felt hopeless there, tied to a wall with having little chance of escape. The ropes that kept him tied did not loosen; they were made out of some sort of strong Swamp Vine. As he exhaled slowly, he hung his head in defeat as tears welled in his eyes.

Cadence helped her husband stand as he felt his last bit of magic begin to fail him. Cadence was already spent of hers having combined both of their force fields together, its just that Shining was able to hold out much longer. He clenched his teeth as he forced every last drop of magic out from his horn that eventually dissipated, leaving him unconscious and her body trembling.

"Shining Armor!" Twilight ran to her brother as he lay motionless, lifting up his head in her hooves as tears formed in her eyes. She then heard disembodied wicked laughter echoe through the throne room, a laugh that was all too familiar.

"Queen Chrysalis," Celestia spat venomously, "Show yourself!"

A pillar of sickly green light formed in the heart of the throne room, from within, the familiar dark Alicorn Changeling formed, laughing as her eyes opened and locked onto Celestia, "Well, well well, what do we have here, a few ponies, a prince and a Princess spent of their magic, oh, and the so called 'Princess of the sun', how interesting."

Celestia stepped closer to her old adversary, "Chrysalis, I thought this was settled long ago…"

"Ha! Do you think that as long as I'm alive I will accept defeat from simple ponies? You may have defeated my army and me three years ago, but now we have come back with our long awaited trump card." She grinned.

Rarity gulped, "Trump card?"

"Yes, in fact he shall be here right about…" There was the sound of a loud explosion outside the castle, followed by the screams of Ponies that flooded the streets in terror. The next thing they heard was a shrill screech that ripped through the air. It was a roar that Pinkie Pie, AppleJack, and Rainbow Dash knew all too well.

"Ahahaha! Behold Celestia, the pinnacle of the Changelings races power, our electrical dragon Eleking!" A few more changelings buzzed in from the glass, shattering through it with ease. They hissed as Celestia and Twilight as their horns glowed, rounding up the three Princesses and the Mane six in the corner of the throne room.

"Take care of them my subjects," Chrysalis grinned, "I shall not allow any obstacles in our victory."

"In the end… I really am just human…" he slowly bowed his head in defeat. Cory could feel hot tears well up in his eyes as the feeling of hopelessness flooded his body.

"Young hero," said the voice in his head, "Do you remember what I trusted you to do?"

"Yes, but without the Spark Lens, how can I possibly-"

"When you fight, whose will defies the odds of defeat, one that will never die? One that has grown stronger in every battle, in every Friendship you make with these creatures?"

"It's mine…" Cory raised his head higher.

"Do not bow to the chances of defeat, look towards a future that you can fight for, one for yourself and the Equestrians you willingly protect… Fight, stand up and fight Ultraman Tiga!"

"My will…" he thought back to the first time he came to Equestria, the first party he had with them, al the battles that they endured, and fought along with him. Even though they didn't know that Tiga, was Cory. The human clenched his fist, mustering every ounce of strength in his body to break free from his bindings. Despite his rising will, nothing happened. They were far too strong for him.

"Wait…" Cory looked down to his feet. He noticed that the rope was tied onto his shoe, not exactly his leg. He managed to wiggle his foot out, freeing his right leg, and then his left leg. Now for his hands, he managed to turn his body around, placing his right leg on the hive wall, pushing and pulling back. When he least expected it, the ropes snapped, causing him to fall flat on his back.

"Crap!" he yelled, hitting his head on the solid floor. He rubbed the back of his head, making sure that none of the Changelings heard him. When he inspected a bit more, he realized they were all gone to assist their Queen in her conquest. With the coast clear, he wondered, "Where would they hide my Spark Lens?"

When he inspected more around the hive, he finally found it encased inside of a sickly green cocoon that hung from the ceiling of the hive.

"You're kidding me." He sighed, "Let's hope this works…"

Since Cory began to learn how to control Tiga's powers more and more, he discovered that he could use some of his basic attacks in his human forms such as an energy shield and a small hand slash. Closing his eyes, he focused blue energy into his hand, using it as a hand slash that struck the stem that kept the chrysalis attached to the ceiling. It hit the floor with a splat, breaking like a green water balloon. Now with his Spark Lens back, he pressed its ignition switch as he held it to his chest, making him change into a human sized Ultraman Tiga.

"Now, just how do I get out of here…"

As Cory wandered through the tunnel, he finally came to the basement of the castle from which he could hear Chrysalis's muffled laughter. After taking a few more steps, a Changeling came out of nowhere and tried to bite down on Tiga. Luckily, Ultraman managed to grab hold of the insectoid, punching its jaw a few times before tossing the battered Pony away. Its body lay motionless, but from above, he could hear the sound of buzzing wings and what he feared most at the time…

More Changelings…

They buzzed down towards Tiga as he went into a defensive position, using his spade hands to chop and knock the insect like ponies away. One managed to lodge its fangs into Tiga's forearm, but Cory crushed the monster skull with a hammer strike, tossing away the corpse. He back kicked another one away, but what he saw next horrified him. He was surrounded by look a likes of him.

Regardless, Tiga managed to hold his own, bashing the copies around like rag dolls and even killing a few changelings with a few hand slashes. As one tried to back kick him, Tiga grabbed and snapped the leg of his copy, blocking the fist of yet another and crushing its arm over his shoulder. Another black insectoid dived towards him, feeling Tiga's hands grab and hold him in position so the hero could snap his back with his knee. Tiga broke another Changelings neck and managed to punch, kick, and knife hand them away. After a minute of this, Tiga fell to one knee, taking in deep breathes as he glanced around at his work. The Queens once proud Changeling Army now lay either groaning in pain, unconscious, or dead. Finally gaining his breathe; Tiga knew that the fight was far from over. Eleking was laying waste to Canterlot as Chrysalis held the others hostage.

There were even more of them to his surprise that buzzed towards his direction. While they vomited greenish sticky slime from their mouths at him, Tiga barely managed to dodge them, crossing his arms over his chest as they got even closer to where he stood. Slowly, he spread them apart, revealing his chest armor that glowed with blinding light that fried the bodies and the eyes of the Changelings. They fell to the ground like limp stuffed animals while filling the air with the smell of burnt flesh.

Seeing that his job in the cavern was done, Tiga's forehead gem flashed a pure white, dissolving his body into stray particles that then dissipated moments later.

"Hahaha! Yes my pet, show these Ponies what happens when they defy the changelings! Ahahahaha!"

Twilight held the head of her brother close to hers as Cadence caressed his back.

"Ya'll will never get away with this!" shouted Applejack, "He'll come and save us, Ah know he will! And ya'll will be so sorry!"

"Hahaha!" laughed the Queen, "Do you really think that your little giant can stand the might of my army!? Besides, we already took care of him." She smiled. Chrysalis turned her attention to Cadence, her horn glowed green as she pulled the Pink Alicorn towards her, "Now, I believe we have some unfinished business."

Cadence tried to look away from the Grotesque creature, trying to break free of her grip, "Look at me," Chrysalis demanded in a low demonic tone." Chrysalis struck Cadence across the face with her porous hoof, "You wretch!" she barked, her eyes flashed green as tears flowed down Cadence's face.

"Cadence!" Twilight yelled, trying to break free from the green goo that held her and the others in place.

"You, you think that I would let that defeat last?" She struck Cadence again, this time drawing blood from her lip, "Did you!?" Chrysalis hooked her in the jaw, bruising her cheek and enlarging the wound on her delicate lip, "Well, you were, dead wrong my dear. And for such a deed, I'm going to kill you the worst way possible…" Cadence turned her head to the side, squeezing her eyes shut as she awaited Chrysalis's final blow.

As Eleking continued his rampage, the Queen and the others heard a loud thumping on the doors. Chrysalis whipped her head around in time to see the doors being knocked off of their hinges, and the human sized form of Tiga standing in the door way. He held two broken and limp changeling corpses in his hand, under hand tossing them towards Chrysalis as he stepped into the throne room.

"Tiga!" Twilight beamed. Celestia smiled in relief as did Luna and everypony else.

"What?" Chrysalis looked down at her dead subjects, using her magic to hurl Cadence towards Tiga who caught her in his arms.

"How dare you harm my subjects!" she hissed venomously. Her horn glowed a dark green as she fired a beam at Tiga. He quickly formed a light barrier with his hands, finding it surprisingly hard to hold back despite his best efforts. When the beam died, he fired a hand slash that skimmed her shoulder. She screamed in rage and pain as yellow blood seeped from her wound, splaying her insect wings as her eyes narrowed with bitter hatred for the being of light, "Damn you!" she hissed, "I shall show you that such acts never go unpunished!"

She quickly left the castle tower to assist her monster that ravaged the city, leaving Tiga, Cadence, Luna, Celestia and the others behind. He knelt down to the roughed up Alicorn tilting her chin to his face, "Are you alright?"

Cadence, who was honestly shocked to hear him actually speak, nodded in response, "Thank you. Please, help the others, I'll help Celestia and Luna…"

Cory nodded back to her, and then tried to free Twilight first by prying her hooves free from the greenish goo that held her legs in place. After her, he quickly felt her forelegs wrap around him in a tight embrace, "I'm sure that Cory would love to see this. I'll take care of the others; you got a monster and a Queen to take care of." She winked.

Tiga nodded in response, quickly running towards the window and leaping down towards the streets. As soon as he was airborne, his body began to grow to his normal size of 45 meters.

Just as Eleking was firing a disc at the castle, a sea blue beam destroyed his electrical weapon. Eleking screeched in confusion, and the next thing he knew he was struck in the chest by the same sea blue beam that knocked him away from the castle. He screeched in pain as sparks erupted from his body, falling onto his back as he writhed in pain for a few moments.

Chrysalis's eyes narrowed as she saw Tiga land just a few blocks from Eleking, "So, it seems that he managed to break free." She began to laugh, "This Eleking will not fall so easily. Fight as you will, Ultraman Tiga." She pointed a hoof towards her bioweapon, "Attack, Eleking!"

Eleking shrieked in response as he nodded to her, then facing back towards Ultraman. However, Tiga was first to attack, quickly rushing towards Eleking and landing a few punches and chops to the chest, head, and neck of Eleking. He grabbed hold of Eleking, kneeling down and flipping the Kaiju over his shoulder with almost no trouble.

While Eleking was down, Tiga jumped into the sky, doing a few flips and then striking a drop kick pose. Just as he was about to kick Eleking, his elongated tail knocked Tiga off course, causing him almost crash into the ground. Luckily, Cory managed to land in a kneeling position, standing up and barely dodging an energy disc Eleking fired at him. He jumped into the air again, landing behind the electric dragon, round housing Eleking and landing both of his spade hands on the side of Eleking's neck. After delivering another front kick, Tiga began pushing back Eleking, easily overpowering him and lifting him off his feet, much to both Eleking's and Chrysalis's surprise.

In a surge of power, Tiga pushed Eleking back into a building, the structure crumbled beneath Eleking's weight. Eleking quickly regained his stance, swinging his tail around and wrapping it around Tiga's neck and upper chest. Chrysalis smiled devilishly as energy cackled from Eleking horn, sending bolt after bolt of energy through Tiga. Ultraman attempted to surge his own energy back into Eleking, but his foe easily absorbed this for even more power.

A toothy smile spread across Chrysalis's face, "Now, Eleking, do away with him once and for all!"

Eleking used his tail to toss Tiga overhead, sending Ultraman into a marble building, crushing it underneath his weight. Eleking shrieked with delight as his mouth began to surge with Electricity, firing bolts of lightning from his mouth that struck Tiga in the chest, piercing through his armor and knocking him to the ground. Tiga gripped his wounded chest ashe trembled in pain. While he tried to stand, he fell back to one knee. "Looks like I better step it up another notch" The Gem on Tiga's forehead flashed red, sending a cascade of crimson down his body.

"Hm?" Chrysalis tilted her head to the side, "What's this?"

As Eleking swung his tail around, striking Tiga in his side, but Ultraman managed to grab hold of his tail, lifting Eleking off the ground and swinging him around like a toy. After a few more seconds of this, Tiga brought down Eleking onto the ground with a thud, forming an imprint of his body in the road. When Eleking stood up, Tiga landed an axe kick on his head, snapping off one of his antlers. As Eleking screeched in pain, Ultraman hammer struck Eleking on the other side of his head, snapping off his other antler.

Now having no ways to generate electricity, Eleking only had his brute strength to fight with. Even there he was outmatched, as Tiga grabbed hold of Eleking's arm, doing a shoulder toss with him.

Tiga's color timer was starting to flash red, signifying his depleting energy. Thrusting his hands down, he switched back into his Omni form, quickly gathering energy for his Zepellion Ray. As Eleking conjured what was left of his electrical energy for a desperate energy disc, Tiga had already fired his Zepellion Ray at him, blasting a hole through the chest of Eleking. When the ray died, Eleking keeled over, turning into a green mist that evaporated like water.

Queen Chrysalis's mouth was agape, "How... How is any being capable of this?"

Tiga turned to his front left side, seeing the Changeling Queen tremble at the sight of him. As he walked closer to her, she quickly buzzed away. To Tiga, she was as defenseless as a fly with no wings. Moments later, Cory could see the six ponies and three Alicorns exit the castle, he could at least feel full relief knowing they were alright. Tiga looked towards the stars, quickly flying away from the graveyard of Chrysalis's final monster.

Ending Theme: Brave Love Tiga

The next Chapter: Ponies start to disappear all across Equestria. When it seems the cases will go unsolved, all fingers then point at Abolubus, an evil Space Criminal that has been using the life force of Ponies to power his Space Ship. Luckily, a space police officer by the name of Redell arrives to put an end to his crime spree as well. It's up to Twilight and Ultraman Tiga to put an end to him, but how can they fight an enemy they can't see?
