    Chapter 56 Promo!

    In an isolated, abnormally large, hollowed-out tree might not be the typical abode for megalomaniacal n'ere-do-wells. Though, there was a reason both of them had opted for current accommodations over the typical kingdoms and castles, in one form or another. The area was absolutely inundated with dark magic. From the eerie glow that some of the plants gave off, to traces of black aerenth crystals

Bridge: 2 Year Anniversary Q&A Video · 3:32am Jun 16th, 2015

In about two months, The Bridge turns two years old. A whoooole lot has happened since I got a weird idea two and a half years back. Two whole seasons of FiM, two Equestria Girls movies, and a literal Legendary reboot; with more seasons and films for both franchises coming down the pipe. And during that two year run, the story has grown far more than I ever expected. I never expected Bridge to get featured, I never foresaw so many people enjoying it; and if future me told myself the tale I originally penned as a maybe 10,000 word short story would grow to over twenty four times that size; I'd have called his insane.

Hells, when I found myself writing my version of the kaiju, despite enjoying it all myself; I half expected I'd tick off some of my fellow G-fans into coming at me with pitchforks.

But, through this long trek I had the honor of sharing with co-creators Faith-Wolff (Love yah Faithy!) and Skylark (high-five buddy!), I got proven wrong time and time again in all the best ways. And to commemorate the occasion, Faith-Wolff and I will be putting together a video Q&A where we answer the questions you submit to us here and other places this has been posted. It'll be partially animated with our Sonas, done in a similar style to some of the MLP analysis community. Won't be aaas good as many of their videos, as this will be our first time doing this; but we'd love to give it a go.

Drop a question and we'll do our best to answer it!

Only rules
1. Nothing too personal, no asking for full names or exact addresses
2. There will be ONE spoiler question allowed, so please don't all ask just those or we'll have a single Q in this Q&A
3. If the question is about story projects, please keep them focused on or at least including The Bridge
4. No more than 3 questions per person please

OK, I have one question. When will Bagan finally make a physical appearance and invade Equestria?

How did you first come up with the idea of this story. Did you anticipate on this story getting as large as it is?

:twilightsmile: love you too Tarb~ :heart:

#4 · Jun 16th, 2015 · · ·

How many chapters do you have this story planned out to? Also sorry if I missed it in one of the A/N's since I hardly read them. :twilightblush:

Which character did you writing the most for on the Bridge?

Will Rainbow Power factor into the story? Besides Xenilla and Destroyah, who are the other members of the Mutations?

Two questions, 1, will we be seeing Jr fire his red spiral Ray and seeing reactions from the main 6 and Luna?
And 2, when can we expect Xenilla and Destroyah to transform into their kaiju form?

How do you and faith know each other

1. In their Equine forms are the Kaiju capable of producing fertile offspring?

2 would the offspring inherit the powers of the parent

3 if the offspring went to Earth would it assume a Kaiju form

1, Do you actually plan on having some concrete shipping happen in this story, or is it all just teasing?
2. Will we see more good-kaiju in Equestria?
3. Will things other than Godzilla and MLP be mentioned/referenced in this literary work?
GIVE US MORE XILLA/MLP!!

1) What is your favorite Jaeger from Pacific Rim?
2) How do you deal with writers block?
3) Who is your favorite character to write in The Bridge?

Will Junior learn any actual magic? I mean he is a unicorn after all.
What is the group that encompasses X (Praetorian Guard 094), Irys (Hyper Gyaos), Gigan and Megalon called again? Also will they ever face off with the actual Power Ponies? I kinda have this weird day-dream where the two groups get into a brawl because Mane-iac was crying and stuffing herself with ice-cream over her imagined relationship with Gigan. Will they show up eventually in ponyform?
Will King Caesar make an appearance in the main story?
When will the next chapter come out?
Can we have a list of Kaiju in each faction?
Will Xenilla ever explain his motivations to why he attempted to kill their father and reconcile? I mean the destroyer he saw in his vision is Bagan after all. I can understand why he thought it was his father at first due to the glimpse he got.
Will the Kaiju ever get to drink something alcoholic?
When is Rodan gonna make an appearance in the story again?
What about Gentle leaf the foal that Anguirus saved, will she show up again?
What's going on, on the other side of the bridge? Will you show what's going on there?
Will Irys learn about what happened 300 years ago on X's planet?
Will X eventually regain his memories?
Will Keiser Ghidorah run into Sunset while he's in Human-Equestria?

I didn't read all the rules till after I posted :derpytongue2: So pick which ones you want to answer. :pinkiehappy:

Question 1, if Godzilla was teleported to the G-Force main head base still as a pony what do you think there reaction be? I would pay to see there reaction.

Question 2, if MegaGodzilla 3 (with godzilla bones still inside of it) was now in equestria as a pony and was in complete control what do you think would happened?

Question 3, will there be changelings in the story and if there are do you need an changeling OC? Cause I have one, sorry if I sounded a little demanding.

Good work with the story and with the 2 anniversary coming up I congrate and thank you and everyone working on this story. :pinkiehappy:

Good sir and madam. Here are my questions! :pinkiecrazy:
These are ranked from 1 to 3. The 1 being the least important and 3 meaning the end of time that sort of stuff ya know?

1. Was their an original idea for the bridge? What I mean is was their something from the story that was supposed to be in it but got changed?

2. When did you first learn of Godzilla?

3. (Story related) Will Bagan do something so horrible, it will make Godzilla turn primal? What I mean is, does Bagan do something that is so horrible and devestating, Godzilla will hulk out?

Hmmm....... questions eh. Well here we go.

1) When making the timeline was it simple to make it? Like did you have it all plan out and the rest kinda came to fruition or was it hard to decided what bits and pieces from all these films/lore to keep and which not to in this combined verse?

2) Considering they were made together and each (I think) were made specially to stop Bagan if he were to return... *cough*, do the guardians consider themselves family, considering they're all that's left of a different time/their creators, close friends perhaps, or do they not see each other as such and are indifferent to one another (minus Angurius and Rodan)? On the theme of family (though this is probably an entirely 'nother question in which case ignore), are all the Godzillas related? 1954's the grandfather, Senior the father, and Junior the son with the G2014 a possible related party. Are they all merely related due to the species or kind of like a family. Like would Senior call the 1954 Godzilla father as Junior refers to him as such. Unless he didn't even know of it's existence.

Hope this spoiler question won't ruin the story if told. If so then just ignore it.... though if you were to pm the answer..... *wink, wink*, *nudge, nudge*
3) During Xen's dream/nightmare, he has a vision of I believe Senior confronting Bagan (or his forms if the timeline is correct). Senior says that he was informed of Bagan and what he plans to do but the identity of those who told were untold because of plot thunder. Well considering that Senior was half dead by american forces (unless that's not the case here), who were the people that contacted/spoke to him about Bagan?

3153451


3. Not answering but do keep in mind that according to Toho, Senior had already been mutated for some time before the 1984 attack via a submarine crash.

1, What do you plan on doing for a sequel to this?
2. What's your take on all the Junior x Lea, Junior x Luna and Junior x BD shippings?
3. Are you thinking of doing or having someone do a side story or chapter going through different events of Senior's life?

ok, question...err...oh yeah could you please advance the plot?

I have 3 questions
1) Will the Maneiac have another encounter with Gigan?
2) Do you have an idea/concept of what the sequel of the Bridge will be about?
3) What's your favorite ship in the story?
Also, just saw Jurassic World and I loved it. So, I'm asking an extra question
4) Did you enjoyed the movie?

1. When we will see any hero kaiju entering Equestria Girls world with Twilight?

2.Well there Terik guy be apear
appear in future chapters?

3 When we will see Zilla (fakezilla) vs Godzilla (jr)?

The movies never happened.

1. Is there any contact/collaberation between you and the author of Humanity's Stand? That is to say, do the two of you share plans to make sure the two stories are cannon to each other, and the spin off won't take out a Kaiju you will need in the sequil? :rainbowderp:

2. So far, the Shobijin (also known as the Elias) have had one semi-apperence. Is there a reason they were able to make contact then, but not since? :fluttercry:

3. Related to 2; What is that reason? Also, if I had a fourth, semi-spoiler question, might they show up again? :pinkiehappy:

Frankly, with all of the questions starting with "will" or some other varient on that, I expect the video will be shorter then some expect; almost all the questions so far are asking for spoilers. :facehoof:

Will there be a joke chapter with Pinkie Pie and a band playing GO GO GODZILLA! ?

will there bee more ssenes in there Bridge that will hit them in the feels or make them go "OH YEAH, THAT WAS AWSOME!"?

Last one which(if any) is your favorite Godzilla shipping?

1. If the Heisei Godzilla universe continued, what kind of story would you like to see?

2. (story-based) I take it the Nightmare Forces are afraid of Bagan?

3. Who is/are your favorite Godzilla girl(s)?

I have few questions:
1. If jet jaguar ever came to equestria, what would he be?

2. Will hedorah, gaira, legion, bad kaiju etc. meet any ponies?

3. Will there be a prequel in the future when The Bridge is over? (Don't know if anyone said that, just wondering)

1. What inspired you to write this story?

2. Will Monster X face off against Godzilla?

3. Will you feature Otachi from Pacific Rim in this story

Have you watched the movie Jurassic World? :pinkiehappy:

1 Will Iris and X Possibly get dates in the human world
2 will megalon get more candy
3 will xeneilla stop being a high functioning sociopath

3154746

Clarifying here, are you asking about Irys and X finding two people in the EG world to date, or them dating each other in the EG world?

3154893 them finding some one to date because I pictured the mercenaries as a family

Hey Tarbtano. Me and my brother have only recently discovered your fic, but suffice it to say, it's one of our favorite crossover fics yet to date, you're up there with Turnabout Storm in terms of crossovers, we're loving every minute of it.
So, here are the three questions that I'd thought I'd like to ask:

1) When you're writing for this fic, what voices appear in your head to voice all (or at least the majority) of the Kaiju characters?
2) Do you prefer to watch the original Godzilla movies in their original dubbing with subtitles, or the English version?
3) What was your reaction when finding out that this fic became THIS popular?

3155621 What is your personal favorite Kaiju?
Least Favorite?
Most interesting?

Okay in all seriousness here are my three questions:
1. Will King Caesar make an appearance in the main story?
2. If the mercenaries (the group that encompasses X (Praetorian Guard 094), Irys (Hyper Gyaos), Gigan and Megalon) ever get into a brawl with the actual Power Ponies, how would that play out? As in would it be a conclusive win on either side or more of it could be anyone's win?
3. Will the Kaiju ever get to drink something alcoholic in this fic?

Wait I found the timeline shows the roster of Xenilla's faction. So my questions are:
Will Rainbow Power appear in this story? Are you going to develop Braeburn and Little Strongheart's story? Will Gamera make peace with Irys?

Who is your favorite character to write about, Kaiju and pony both.

What was the hardest point you had to write in the story? Like, gave you the most difficulty coming up with a part, etc.

What drew you to the Godzilla franchise in the first place.
What made you stay.
What about Godzilla himself do you like the most.

I created an account so I can ask these questions...

1. Why are you guys nerds?
2. Why are you guys mega nerds?
3. To potato or not potato

Sincerely,
Eras

1. Which Godzilla movie did you watch first?
2. What Kaiju had you initially wanted to enter Equestria, but ended up being replaced by one the six that the dimension tide sent there?
3. Can we expect Bagan to personally communicate with and get an Equestrian villain to do his bidding?

3153435
I think Kiryu in Equestria would in interesting. It would be like Jeckle and Hyde with him. One moment he is a robot programmed to save humanity but the other time, the skeleton wakes up and makes the Godzilla inside confused as hell. Either that or what happened in GXMG.

Isnt part of the QnA Im just wandering. When will the video be uploaded?
