Sound of Thunder
Raiga, crackling with lightning from her form and walking with thunder in her step, charged and met Godzilla head on. Tackling him away from downtown Manehattan, the two kaiju tussled and rolled into the river amongst a barrage of blue plasma and bolts of gold lightning shooting into the sky. Managing to get on top of the wrestling, Raiga snarled and slashed at Godzilla’s torso with her long talons. While her handheld scythes did manage to cut through the dinosaur’s hide somewhat, the wounds were just as quick to mend as Godzilla was to launch a counterattack. Grabbing Raiga by her wrists after another slash, Godzilla threw his shoulders upwards, ripping Raiga off her pin and slamming her back-first into the ground above him. Just when she was getting up, Godzilla's tail ripped through the churned river water and smashed a dizzying tail smack into her face. Knocked silly, she wasn’t able to rise up by the time Godzilla got to his feet and grabbed onto her tail. His claws digging into Raiga’s flippers, Godzilla repeatedly ripped her off the ground by her tail and then repeatedly slammed her back into it with ever increasing force. Shock waves courses through the ground and river water splashed out in all directions.
Having formed a crater on the river bottom by the fourth collision, Raiga regained enough wit to call down several thunder bolts upon being raised up. Electrifying herself, she managed to shock Godzilla enough times to get him to let go. Raiga landed on her feet and whirled around as her pearls glowed, firing a torrent of electrons out of her maw and blasting Godzilla in the forehead enough to stumble him. Still crackling with lightning, Raiga threw herself at her foe and slammed one electrified fist into Godzilla’s face and torso after another. Weaving like a boxer, she ducked under a tail-swing counter and landed several uppercuts into Godzilla’s torso. Unlike Agon however, Godzilla saw the strikes coming and was more than sturdy enough to brace. His reactions to the hits changed from staggers, to budging slightly, and soon enough the Tyrant King of the Monsters was barely even flinching from blows that would have knocked Agon silly. Stomping on Raiga’s toes before craning down and then slamming his head into her chin, Godzilla forced her back as his back spines ignited. Dropping his jaw into a roar that was soon chased by a beam of blue plasma, Godzilla blasted the stunned Guardian Beast off her feet and sent her flying several blocks backwards before crashing down into the debris. Digging her face out of the rubble after being sent hurtling through a warehouse, Raiga drew strength from her now glowing pearls, which arced electricity across her form. Stumbling to get her feet beneath her, she braced a palm on the ground and let loose a barrage of lightning from both her jaws and free hand’s palm. The stream of mana charged electricity smashed into Godzilla, burning away at his scales and scar tissue and forcing him to stagger briefly. Godzilla halted his advance as the golden electrons washed over him, groaning in strain, but soon managing to power through the onslaught and endure the attack.
His chest being burned and muscles twitching the shocks, Godzilla focused on something else. Training his eyes upwards to the above and past Raiga, Godzilla all but ignored her assault and leered at the distant lights of the still evacuating portions of Manehattan proper. For each light, there were easily a hundred ponies fleeing from the kaiju brawl a kilometer away; and there were easily dozens upon dozens of lights. He began to suck in his breath, the dinosaur’s back spines flashing with light before building to a steady glow. Red flashes of light shown through his scars and skin were the only forewarning of what was coming, an attack that could easily kill some lesser kaiju in one shot. Spiral fire.

Nervouscited!!!
3836380 Wait and see mate. Wait and see. (Totes read it already. #shamelessbragging)
3836380 I have reason to suspect that Tyrant Junior's spiral isn't as powerful as the one our Zilla has...
What a cliffhanger.
Damn Goji, A Stronger charged Beam that's like hundreds of Nuclear Warheads concentrated in a laser on the fleeing civilians? You are one evil Bastard
Firing at fleeing civilians that hold no danger to you? Godzilla, why don't you twirl your moustahce as well.

Hopefully, Raiga gives him an uppercut and the explosion erupts in his mouth. Would be quite the sight.
Sounds epic.
And this Jr became this way, because of a cruel Azusa. But weren't there some scientist that were at least, pleasant around him in infancy or was everyone including Senior a demon to him ?
3836975 In the main timeline, the only scientist who was mean to Junior was Dr. Katagiri. This is because Azusa and her professor were in charge of Junior's care so they wouldn't let untrusted people near him. General Aso of G-Force also expressed interest that the infant should be cared for well for the sake of pragmatism. In the mirror timeline, everyone but Katagiri, who also got fired, was cruel to the little guy. Mirror!Azusa was just the most reoccurring and worst of the worst. Mirror!Senior was nicer, but more on a neutral level. I wouldn't be lying if I said the only being who treated Mirror!Junior with any lasting sense of kindness was Battra Lea, and even then their dynamic is dicey.
Main Junior ended up the hero he is because even though he had a lot of trauma wrung through him over the years, he still had both a good friendship with his allies and a stable upbringing by Azusa giving him a very different wold view than his predecessors. Remove and reflect one or both of those elements, and he probably would have grown up a sociopath. That's what happened with this Godzilla.
3836989 Interesting. So this Jr is kinda like a scared child just striking out against the world that hurt him. (I know that might seem like a Huge understatement but it all starts with childhood.)
3837011 May have started out that way, but he's only gotten worse. If Main!Junior's core principle is "The good, weak or strong, are worth protecting." this guy's only rule is "World only works for those who make it, might makes right.".
3837035 Basically megalomania. And right now i guess he docent care why Ragia "turn" on him he's going to try and kill her. And if he gets back to his Terra i feel bad for his Ragia.
I'm probably wrong, but right now I think the best hope this city has is if Spiral Fire uses up energy too fast and Godzilla reverts early. That, or if a certain train arrives just in the nick of time.
Here we go! barrelling down on the cdn.meme.am/instances2/500x/5024178.jpg
This is going to be a great finale.
