A female guard pony stood watch along the entrance of the coastal town, anxious and nervous. Word from their neighboring town to the south had been silent for nearly a day now. It was true that they didn't always receive word from their sister city, she couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. Truth be told everything about today positively stood her hair on end; years of experience told her that something was very, very wrong. The normally cool and gentle breeze of the coast gave way to an intense feeling of foreboding. There were more gusts of warm, dry, arid weather. As if the pleasant temperature were somehow being sapped away. Most of the inhabitants had took notice of the shift in temperature but simply paid no mind to it. Yet, she stood guard even more vigilant then ever.
Then the smoke appeared. Off in the distance she could make out columns of smoke. Some of her fellow guard had speculated it might be a campfire for a foraging party, or some nomads. She kept her speculations to herself though, as if her silence could somehow quell the hollow fear she felt in the pit of her stomach.
The day continued, and the flames were still visible for several more hours. By then even the civilians within the walls had taken notice. The news began as mere gossip, then speculation, and then the news was spreading across the city; if nothing was done soon, then a panic might break out!
Then suddenly the smoke stopped. The cool gentle breeze of the ocean returned and everything seemed to go back to normal.
Everypony else in the town decided to go about their business and dismissed the smoke from earlier as a weird oddity and nothing more. However, one guardpony stood unwavering at the gate, her eyes permanently fixated on the horizon.
A couple more hours passed.
Then she saw something in the forest. It was hard to make out, but emerging from the forest she could see a pony, a guard pony too, if the gleam of his armor were anything to go on. However, even from a distance the pony in question was a sorry sight, he damn near looked like he had just been through a was zone.
She immediately barked out orders to her compatriots to ready the medical bay, and flew out to intercept the figure. With any luck the pony in question could inform her about the lack of communication form the other town. However, if his appearance was anything to go on the answer was certainly not going to be good.

(Meanwhile In Twilight's Castle)
~~~~~~
Spike for one was beginning to grow more and more curious about the "Godzilla" creature that Applejack was describing. He was really beginning to hope Twilight would hurry up so he could meet this fella. Applejack was now recounting how thy both took on the Chimera, and Spike listened completely spell-bound. He already knew that Applejack could handle herself just fine but he was surprised to hear that this Godzilla guy was just as capable as her!
"So then he blew fire at them, after her tripped them!?! That's so cool!" Spike exclaimed jumping up and down in excitement.
"Well I reckon it was." Applejack conceded "but that fella should never have gotten tangled up with the Chimera in the first place."
"What do you mean AJ? Didn't the Chimera attack him first?" Spike questioned.
"I'm not sure to be honest Spike. By the time I arrived they were both right in the thick of it...thing is though he didn't look scared while he was fighting...Spike...I think he was enjoying it." Applejack confessed.
"Wow! Starting a fight with a Chimera! That's so cool!" Spike exclaimed excitedly.
Applejack rolled her eyes and patted Spike's head, "You're such a "guy" Spike." she lightly mocked.
Spike stuck out his reptilian tongue in a teasing way, "Yea well I can't help it. This guy sounds just like something from one of my comics! I sure wish Twilight would hurry it up so we could meet him!"
Just as soon as he uttered those words the steady beat of wings, as Twilight descended from the stairwell.
"Sorry, for the wait Applejack, I just had a bit of work to tidy up on...princess work and all that." Twilight explained.
Applejack nodded in understanding. "Ain't no problem Twilight I know how busy you've been lately."
"So is this just a customary visit or..."
"Actually, Twilight there's a fella I took in the other day. He's a right mystery ta me. I reckon'd he might'a been some kinda dragon at first but...I don't know it's like he's...more than that somehow." Applejack said scratching her head, "I was hoping you could help him out. I reckon he might be lost or something."
Twilight listened to her friend intently "Hmm very intriguing. I'll certainly help if I can Applejack. I'm sure that if we approach this in a calm and rational manner we can find a solution."
"So are we going to go see this Godzilla guy?" Spike suddenly interjected.
Twilight was kind of surprised "Oh. You want to see Applejack's guest too?"
"Yea. Applejack's been telling me all sorts of stories about him. He sounds like a really cool guy! Plus...it's not every day I get to talk with another dragon...err if he even is one."
Applejack and Twilight exchanged glances for a second. Applejack then smiled and winked, and Twilight nodded in understanding.
"Fine you can come Spike. This could be educational for everypony" Twilight explained, "However, you have to finish your chores afterward, understood?"
Spike nodded enthusiastically, he was going to have to do those chores anyways, but now there was a chance to meet this Godzilla fellow and he couldn't pass up an opportunity like that. Thus, with that conformation the trio left the castle and headed to the Apple Farm to meet this mysterious Godzilla.
~~~~~~
(Meanwhile at the Apple Farm)
~~~~~~
The mighty King of the Monsters had decided that he ought to repay his hosts for both housing him while he was injured and for providing him food. However, what he truly wanted was to repay his debt as quickly as possible so he could start trying to find his way home.
"The faster I relieve myself of these ponies the faster I can return home" Godzilla mused internally, "After all as a King, nay as a God, any mundane tasks that the ponies can scrounge up for me ought to be the very picture of simplicity".
Currently, he was being lead by the red male pony. The male certainly didn't seem to like him very much, which was just fine with Godzilla, he wasn't here to make friends. After a short while the red male stopped and placed down a bucket he had been carrying. He gestured to one of the tree and pointed at the apples then in a single motion he kicked the tree. The apples fell gracefully into the bucket, with hardly a one out of place. The stallion then motioned for him to do the same.
Godzilla smiled and cracked his knuckles. If this red pony could do it he could certainly do it as well. With a cocky smile Godzilla planted his feat in the dirt and prepared to batter the tree with his tail. The red pony said not a word but cocked an eyebrow as if critiquing his efforts silently.
Godzilla in turn, huffed in irritation. He braced himself and focused on the tree. Suddenly! He twisted his body quickly and his tail flew out like a whiplash and with a mighty strike slammed his reptilian tail into the tree! The result however, was decidedly less graceful. Instead of the apples falling out of the tree, the tree itself was snapped clean in half from the force of Godzilla's mighty blow! Both watched in horror unable to do anything as it collapsed with a thud. The red stallion slammed his hoof into his for head in exasperation, whilst Godzilla was left dumbfounded.
After a brief moment the stallion then finally spoke up "Right. I reckon this might be a bit out of your league, why don't we try something even more simple."
Godzilla didn't even utter a retort, but just wordlessly followed the stallion. Thus, a pattern began to emerge. The red Stallion would demonstrate a chore and then indicate for Godzilla to do the same, only for the King of Monsters to fail miserably. When he lead Godzilla to the Pig pen to fix the fences, Godzilla accidentally broke a section of the fence instead and released the pigs.
He lead Godzilla to the roof to fix a leak next, only for Godzilla to accidentally broke through the roof crashing through the wooden floors leaving a gaping hole in the building.
Finally, he tried having Godzilla simply count last years stores of "Zap Apple Jam" and somehow he managed to ignite the jars causing them to combust and coating both of them in the gooy substance. After that last fiasco Big Macintosh finally lost his temper and broke his silence.
"I reckon ya'll are better off NOT getting involved in our Business ya hear?" Big Macintosh declared angrily.
Godzilla looked at the stallion indignantly, "Just who do you think your talking to equine?"
"You've been nothing but a bother ever scene you've arrived! Why don't you just leave?" Big Macintosh said with venom.
Godzilla was fuming "I was trying to repay a favor! It's not like I even like being here you stupid pony!"
"Yea? And look how well that turned out! You're nothing but a great big walking disaster just waiting ta happen."
"You...you ponies are infuriating! Scurrying about like ants! Doing nonsense like cooking, and cleaning, and hitting trees!" Godzilla yelled angrily lashing his tail about.
"The only reason we are letting you stay here is because you were hurt! And because mah sister vouches for ya. Although Celestia know's why she'd do that!"
"Well I never asked for your help! I was doing just fine without any of you! You are all beneath me!"
"Then I reckon there's no point in you staying here is there!" Big Macintosh said right to Godzilla's face.
In response Godzilla puffed smoke in Big Mac's face causing him to gag "Well I reckon there is no point in me staying here any longer either! Sayonara!
Thus, the King of the Monsters stomped off glad to be rid of those insolent equines.

Applebloom was going to be late to school. She tasked under her breath, she had hoped that she could make it in time but it seemed that fate wouldn't be so kind. By the time she made it to school the doors were already closed.
"Ah applecores!" Applebloom exclaimed "Now, everyponies gonna know I'm late...especially Diamond Tira"
She winced at the thought. Applebloom could practically hear the teasing already and sighed.
"Well...at least I'll get to tell Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo about that Godzilla fella" Applebloom thought chiperly.
She opened the door to her class with anticipation. As she expected the lecture was already beginning. Her teacher Ms. Cheerilee raised an eyebrow.
"Ah Applebloom. I was for a moment that you couldn't come to class today. I'm glad to see you could make it" said Cheerilee, "However, I assume you have a good reason for being late?"
The class was snickering in that way that youths do, especially when they suspect someone is in trouble. Applebloom blushed in embarrassment but plead her case anyways.
"Well ya see Ms. Cheerilee we got a visitor the other day...and err...we just wanted to make sure he was settling in alright."
Cheerilee's stern glare seemed to lighten a bit "Ah I see. I know all about "Apple Hospitality". I'm sure your guest is in good hooves." Cheerilee said in sympathy "now if you take your seat we can continue our lesson".
Applebloom obliged happy to no longer be under her scrutiny.

(Elsewhere)
~~~~~~
With a belly full of delicious muffins and having seen her daughter Ditsy Do was feeling much better about their mission. She looked over to Trixie who was eating her muffins with a contemplative look on her face.
"Feeling better Trixie?" she asked gently
Trixie nodded "Actually I've been feeling much better..."
"Are we still...are we still looking for the thing you summoned Trixie? You...you don't think Ponyville is in any danger do you?" Ditsy inquired.
Trixie bit into the muffin, chewed a bit and swallowed before continuing "It's interesting Ms. Do. Ever scene the summoning I haven't been feeling...myself. I've been feeling mad, confused, and in pain."
Ditsy fluttered over and tried to offer comfort "There, there we'll find this big meanie Trixie, and then we'll make everything A-okay" she said with a smile.
Trixie nodded and offered her faithful assistant a weak smile "With your help Ms. Do I'm sure we will...after all The Great and Powerful Trixie never fails once she has her heart set on something!"
"You were awful scared of the guy back in Canterlot..."Ditsy said in a soft tone. Ditsy couldn't help but shake slightly in fear, anything that could intimidate Trixie was way beyond her.
"Do you doubt The Great and Powerful Trixie?" Trixie said with a glare.
Ditsy gave a nervous smile "No of course not...hehe"
"Very good. We've dawdled enough here we shall head immediately to...Twilight Snarkle's pretty little castle. The sooner we do so the sooner we can be rid of this unpleasantness. I The Great and Powefull Trixie shall vanquish a terrible monster...one of Trixie's own making" she said rather somberly.
"Ah one question Ms. Do"
"Yes?"
"Did you happen to put apple flavored seasoning into any of those muffins?"
"Hmm. No. Not today. I didn't think to put any apple spices today. Why? Were you craving apple spiced muffins instead?"
"No, no your muffins were quite satisfactory Ms. Do. In fact I feel better than ever...I was almost certain I could taste a vague hint of apple though...but enough of that we have a quest to accomplish" and with that Trixie left for the glittering Castle with Ditsy following faithfully behind.
... so... anything one of them experiences... the other does too, albeit, on a smaller scale?

It seems to be more one-sided
Glad to see this story again.
I like that Spike really want to see Godzilla.
What Happen to Godzilla agreement to Princess Luna in the previous chapter. I agree that Godzilla would find these Pony annoying but he has some honor. But All I said is Big Macintosh is going to be in trouble with Applejack.
And thus shinagagiins is about to happen.
Like I think "the more closer Trixie Lulamoon get to where Godzilla the more the summoning bracelet around Godzilla's arms is going to tug, while Trixie will be drawn by the bracelet. When that going on Twilight,Applejack,Spike and Most reclantantly Big Mac is going to have to find Godzilla. Godzilla is either going to go back to the everfree Forest or Stubble near Fluttershy's Cottage Which result in Scaring Fluttershy and more then likely bring Rainbow Dash thinking she being attack and attracking Twilight's small group to that Locations. Their might be a Fight Between Rainbow Dash and Godzilla only because Rainbow dash is suspicious Of Godzilla being a teenage dragon trying to harm her friends and That probably annoy Godzilla too. They will get in a hasle until Twilight's group arrive and with Twilight using her magic either freeze them of help stop Godzilla until Applejack have to calm him down.
Trixie lulamoon and Disty Do/Derpy might get a bit of comedy running into maybe pinkie pie or finding out Twilight isn't at her castle anymore only to be getting a migraine from Pinkie Pie Random Babbling and Being drawn more towards where Godzilla is at. Since this is after "Magic Duel" The pony would still look at Trixie with some resentment for what she did in her second visit to Ponyville.
They're probably some warning about 'TYPHON' getting close to ponyville and this news will most likely get to the princess a little too late."
Am I close to either of those idea?
8664524
Pretty good deduction :)

Trixie is more sensitive to their "bond" because she is the "summonor". G-man may feel some of what Trixie feels but he's to confused and discombobulated to notice.
8665295
I always love your in depth analysis and predictions man
Your actually pretty on point with most of your predictions. Only one key difference, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Flutershy may not appear that much in this particular story. That isn't to say they will never appear lets just say that their out of Town for this particular occurrence.
Im now really begining to delve more into Trixie and G-man's bond. Let me also say that Trixie has no idea WHAT she summoned so all she's looking for is a "big dangerous lizard"
Big Macintosh is definately gonna get an earfull from his sisters and it may take him a while to come around
Godzilla's clumzyness is actually a product of him underestimating his strength. He's going to slowly realize that his meer presence can be dangerous and that will cause him to be more cautious.
Spike is like Applebloom and finds Godzilla to be "interesting". There's a chance that he might even see him as a surrogate brother in a way.
Typhon is on his way as well. He is sort of a reflection of Godzilla's ideals in a way. He too is more survival oriented, and also distrusts threats in his territory. He also feels that he is "royal" to a degree. So their may be a bit of a dialogue there.
8665429
Well I glad I got somethings right. But I'm looking forward to your next chapter.
What about Rarity?
Godzilla being a sort of surrogate brother or idol is something I can see happening.
Well Of course Trixie only assume its something big, dangerous and scaly. It the only description that best she can describe.
Big Mac is just being the over protective brother so he probably won't come around right off the bat for very good reason.
Does this mean Godzilla's radiations is still having affect to any living creature around him? or Is simply because his presence Draw out challenge like Typhon?
I take it two chapters are going to be about most of our lead character dealing with both Godzilla's presence and the arrival of Typhon?
Nice to see this story back.
I really like the scene with Godzilla wanting to pay his debt and failing miserably. Him being clumsy is actually a genuine trait of him, though it comes in reality from the actor who couldn't see anything in the suit and stumbling his feet on the uneven setting.
Mistakes found:
war
they
he
Just as soon as he uttered those words the steady beat of wings was heard, as Twilight descended from the stairwell.
forehead
Diamond Tiara
I was for a moment thinking that you couldn't come to class today
I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but none of the Apples with their accent ever called Cheerilee Cherokee.
since
awfully
lol
8665493
Rarity may show up in this story but more as a spectator for the moment.
Im planing to have Rainbow, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rarity play a different role than Twilight, and Applejack.
Godzilla's radiation is actually something I've been considering...lets just say that his bracelets are more than just an accessory, indeed they anchor him to the world of Equestria in many ways. Trixie is also a part of that bond so she is also influencing the bond.
A bit of a spoiler...
...
okay here it is. Godzilla may not necessarily be the "only" Kaiju or Monster summoned. His coming is sort of like an opening of a can of worms
On another note Typhon is an Equestrian monster and one based on magic, whilst Godzilla is a monster build by evolution and millennia of battle and pain. Although they both "seem" similar their is a difference
8665517
I'll try and get those mistakes as soon as i can.
I'm glad you like the "clumsy" angle
I thought it would contrast well with his more "regal" and more "survival" based personality. He's far more equipped for battle than just doing "normal" stuff so he seems clumsy
