Wow, this story is darker than the Bridge, given Sunset's shorter fuse, but it was still an entertaining read. I really like Rodan's morality as he refused to kill his enemies until they were proven to be monsters and has an admiration for Celestia due to stopping revolts in a peaceful manner. This chapter was very interesting, especially the reveal of how Sunset and Mircalla know each other.
7474492 Basically. This is a crossover where two characters from the Amalgam'verse, which is a crossover with Godzilla and other kaiju franchises, get tossed into the Shimmer'verse, which is an MLP AU that has an good Sunset Shimmer as an element of Harmony set in a darker Equestria that has some elements taken from the Warhammer series mythos (though not really copy-pasted in and instead more it was inspired by it and has similar elements).
7490343 Yah if I were to make a film comparison, Bridge proper is Raiders of the Lost Ark whereas Shimmer in the Dark is Temple of Doom. The darkness level isn't much higher, but the violence is more explicit than in MLP or kaiju films and thus there is some on-screen gore. That's why it has the M and Gore tags Bridge lacks.
Still glad you like the product. Though it be a neat trial to have a kaiju and equestrian hero team up and it actually is the kaiju who's more light hearted and optimistic (thinking Celestia is to be admired and could resolve the issue peacefully here) and the equestrian is the more angry, dower tone one (who's not out for revenge). And it seems my wham line is being effective.
I enjoy how level headed and respectful of Celestia Rodan is. With his 24 hour time limit, hopefully he can run into Mizu and boot him out of this universe to get it back to normal. He doesn't even have to figure out who it is.
Excellent as always. I enjoyed the contrast between the contributing settings (it says something when the Pony goes straight for the kill while the Kaiju tries to take his enemies alive) and the twists in the plot. I'm glad you included a built in mechanic to get Rodan back to the main story; not only does this avoid some form of plot contrivance for only one Equestria to have the ability to send him home, but it also allows his visit to be short without shortening the main story with a convenient bit of knowledge.
That said, no matter how nice an homage to my all time favorite movie it would be, if Sunset Shimmer takes up the sword, hunts down the Six Limbed Nightmare, and proceeds to 1) introduce herself, 2) accuse the Nightmare of a crime committed against her 20 years earlier, and 3) proceeds to threaten the Nightmare's life, over half a dozen times in order, then I'm gone.
Excellent chapter. Rodan's usage of the F word caught me off guard a bit, but that was probably from reading the main story in the time before this one updated.
I'm looking for a Shimmerverse story that explains how Sunset found the truth of what really killed her Parents, but I found no such story how did you find out, I want to read that story so I won't go Bat Shit Crazy with Confusion
Holy throne, you updated with a bang! Awesome work as always!

Might I be so forward as the ask whom the second Amalgam'verse character is? Assuming it's not the end of everything.
7490662 The second one is Mizu.
Whoa this Shimmer'verse is really dark, though I'm still interest in reading it from the beginning.
So there are trace of the Warhammer franchise mix in it. I'm not very familiar with it, the only game I have is the recent Total War Warhammer.
Excellent as always Tarb, but dang it you had to include that last line.

7490366 So which one is The Last Crusade?
7490366 Or worse, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
