Adagio stared in disbelief as two of her father stared each other down. Moments later the first Godzilla became engulfed in flames, as the second Godzilla fired his atomic breath at the chest of his competitor. The first Godzilla roared loudly as the blast hit his chest blasting away a portion of his chest in a blaze of sparks and fire. A second atomic breath attack followed and blew apart a part of his shoulder revealing more of the metallic underbody from before.
Adagio and the others stared in disbelief.
Rainbow and Applejack were confused and Sonata looked terrified.
“What is that thing?” Rainbow asked pointing up at the metal Godzilla.
Adagio shook her head like a mindless zombie.
“I don’t know Rainbow. I don’t know…”
Sonata sook adagio out of her stupor and pointed at the metal monster like she was having a panic attack.
“DAGI!! It’s a robot! A giant robot!!” The younger siren screamed.
Adagio growled slapping Sonata across the face ending her screaming. Sonata rubbed her sore cheek looking at her sister with a shocked expression. Tenderly she rubebd the growing red hand mark on her cheek as tears welled up in her eyes.
Adagio immediately regretted striking her sister. She always did the sad puppy eyes so well. Everytime she did it broke Adagio’s heart, and even on the worst of days. Like today.
Before Adagio could say anything to her sister, Godzilla roared and charged his metallic doppelganger. The two bashed head first into each other. Godzilla stumbled back in a slight daze while his metallic counterpart stood upright and bent backwards slightly. Opening it’s mouth the metal Godzilla leaned forward quickly and shot a set of rainbow colored eye beams at Godzilla. The two beams hit him square in the chest causing a massive explosion of blood and flesh on his chest.
Godzilla fell backwards and on his side whining in pain. The sounds of the mechanical abomination hissing as it stepped forward towards the wounded Godzilla sent a surge of anger in Adagio and Rainbow alike.
Then as if a long lost predatory instinct kicking in, Rainbow transformed into her siren form with Adagio and both flew into the sky and landed on the robot's back. The two sirens climbed its back and found a seam where the neck began to separate into different segments to allow the neck to bend. This design allowed small portions of the internal to be revealed which is what they were after. Adagio glanced over to Rainbow and like siamese twins they nodded and pushed their scaley muzzles into the largest of these openings.
Both of them inhaled and fired magical fire into the machine hoping to damage it. Then something happened they didn’t expect. Both of them felt their bodies spaz as the robot glowed bright blue as a powerful electrical barrier formed around the surface of the Mechagodzilla. The power of the shock attack sent both of them flying far away and back into the side of Adagio’s tank. Sonata and Applejack had to roll to the sides to not get crushed by their friend hulking sizes.
The impact left a large impression in the side of the tanks steel/ceramic plating. An impressive feat considering the impact was made by two things made of flesh and bone.
The two sirens turned back into human form. Rainbow and Adagio both groaned in pain. Applejack helped Adagio leaning her against the side of the tank while Sonata assisted Rainbow. Once their friends were deemed okay, Applejack and Sonata stood by and watched as Godzilla continued his struggle against his mechanized foe.
Godzilla managed to stand up on all four legs and rammed the mechagodzilla sending them both to the ground. It was at this moment Godzilla saw Sonata and Applejack holding onto each other, and behind them was the injured figures of Rainbow and his daughter Adagio.
The sight of his kin hurt sent a chill throughout his body. Then something primal inside began to surface. A feeling. A feeling he hadn’t felt in over a millenia. Something so powerful that the only thing that there was only one other thing that could match it in strength.
Paternal fury.
*Camp Everfree*
Gloriosa was horrified. Horrified of the immense destruction that had befallen her beloved camp. The same camp her family made and was part of their heritage.
The dock was all but destroyed by a powerful beam that annihilated part of the forest with it. All around her destruction lay before her. Her beloved camp all but ruined. Part of the mountainside was missing and a path of trees towards Canterlot City were crushed by the monster that appeared. Enraged Gloriosa ran into the forest.
It was difficult for her to see through her tears stained eyes. Everything was a blur. Her vision as well as her mind. All she cared about was getting to her destination. She had to find her friend. As she ran she heard whispers around her. At first she dismissed them as figments of her imagination.
Then she heard the whispers again. Slowing down she took a minute to gauge her surroundings. She could hear nothing but the whispers. Once there was sounds of birds and squirrels all around. Now nothing. Then she noticed a green thorny plant vine slithering closer towards her.
At first she wanted to run but the whispers grew louder as the vine crept towards her. This made her stay as her curiosity overrode her fear, and she knelt down to inspect the plant up close. The vine stopped inches from her face and from the tip a bud appeared and started to bloom into a beautiful red rose with three yellow mandibles in the center.
“What are you?” Gloriosa asked the plant.
At first nothing happened, and the young woman staraed at h explant feeling she was losing her mind. Then suddenly from the mandibles a small rainbow colored ball of energy emerged from the rose and floated closer to Gloriosa. It floated just inches above the ground and from all around her a soothing voice spoke.
“Young mortal, hear me.” The voice said softly.
Gloriosa stepped away from the ball of energy. Her fear slowly taking over again. The ball of energy stayed out but the voice spoke again with a hint of desperation.
“Please don’t go. I need your help,” It said.
Glorious stood her ground, but remained ready to flee at a moment's notice.
“Who-what are you?” She asked the ball of energy.
“I have gone by many names over thousands of years you Gloriosa,” The voice said. “Do not be afraid. For I have watched you since you were a small child prancing in my woods.”
“Okaaaaay. Not creepy at all,” She said looking around expecting to find someone around her with a camera. “Who are you?”
“I am called many things by you humans, but YOU know me better as the Fabled Spirit Gaia Everfree.”
“What? Really?!”
Gloriosa held her hands against her chest and looked at the tiny magical ball. She had a huge grin on her face like a kid in a candy store.
“You’re Gaia Everfree!?”
“Indeed child, but now’s not the time. I need your help,” Gaia said sternly. “There is an evil presence in Camp Everfree and the monster you encountered is not of this world. We must expel its evil from the world.”
Gloriosa took a step back looking unsure.
“What can I do? I’m just a human. I have no powers like you do,” She openly stated.
Gaia took a moment to float closer to Gloriosa as fly around her.
“I must be honest child. What I’m about to propose is dangerous. If you want I will not ask it of you. All i ask is that you listen to my plea.”
Gloriosa thought about it for moment. What harm was there in hearing the great spirit out?
“Alright. I’ll listen.”
“Thank you. For a long time now I have been trapped in these lands. Magically entrapped and cast away from my home by a powerful wizard, Starswirl the Bearded and his hussy Clover the Clever.”
“I’m sorry. That sounds awful,” Gloriosa said sadly.
“Your words are kind child. For thousands of years I lived in another world. When I was cast here I became trapped in these woods. This was my home, and I was alone. Until your ancestors came forth and cultivated my land and thus was born Camp Everfree in my name.”
The spirit paused as two roars echoed in the distance.
“My power is directly tied to the condition of the land. In this state I am very weak and can not defend my home. I need a vessel to where I can use my powers in full, this is what I ask of you chld.”
Without thinking Gloriosa jumped on the opportunity to help save her camp by taking up the spirits proposal.
“I say let’s do it then!” She said pumping her fist in the air.
Gaia however seemed more restrained.
“Child listen. The power I offer is strong, but you will not control it. I will through you. The transition is… dangerous for mortals to do. You may not survive.”
That stopped her in her tracks. While Gloriosa wanted to save her camp, there had to be a line drawn to how far she’d go. She still had her family to think about. Her brother, her aunt Spitfire. Then there was the camp itself. Timber would never be able to run the place by himself. She couldn’t ask her aunt to quit the Air Force to take care of it, and ll her remaining relatives didn’t live close enough to help. That left just her and her brother to take care of the cmap.
Then a realization hit her. She couldn’t run the place if it was smoldering ruins. That and her life revolved around this place. She literally had nothing else to live for. The camp was her calling and it was here she was her most happy.
Deciding she would have nothing left to lose if she lost her camp she nodded to the spirit.
“I’ll help you. Just help me keep my camp safe.”
“Then offer yourself to me and let us commence with communion,” Everfree said calmly.
Gloriosa nodded closing her eyes and opened her arms to the small ball of energy, indicating she was open to its offer. The spirit of Gaia Everfree floated around its potential partner. Slowly the spirit of Gaia Everfree floated towards Gloriosas chest.
The human girl embraced the spirit and a strange feeling of warmth filled her from her toes, fingers, and her very core. At first the warmth was subtle but eventually with a minutes time the energy from Gaia Everfree filled her and began to expel from her eyes and mouth in a brilliant radiant glow.
Then as if she left her body, Gloriosa submited control of her body to Gaia Everfree. The transition was painless as the two merged into one entity. Gaia’s thought and memories merged into one with the thoughts and memories of Gloriosa. Then all things came to view.
The man Gloriosa worked with wasn’t her friend. He was a monster. A conquerer of worlds. His name was Kuronuma, a alien from another world far from the Sol System. Images of him destroying the earth and building a base in the core of Camo Everfree and talks he made with Gloriosa and the lies he told became clear to the young woman. Enraged she clenched her fist as her body began a metamorphosis.
All around her green plant vines slithered around her body like a cocoon. The tendrils pierced her body and filled her with powerful magical forces. HEr body withdrew into the ground disappearing from sight.
Far out in the center of Camp Everfree lake thousands of vines pierced the water and coiled over themselves. They grew and grew fusing and mingling together like a primal power of nature. Once the plants reached to where they could see beyond the confines of the Everfree Forest and Canterlot they stopped growing. From the top Gloriosa emerged. Her body had changed. Her once dark skin was now pale and grey. Her clothes gone and replaced by plant like growth that covered her and her hair, now blue and sweet smelling flowed like a current of water. Large red vines of poison ivy coiled around her body and kept her suspended over the plant tower.
She looked over the thick forest to the two monsters now fighting just beyond the trees. With a sneer she held out one arm stretching her fingers in the direction of the two kaiju fighting. She could sense them. One was of flesh and bone, the other was machine yet both were foreign to this world. A danger to this world. It was clear to Gloriosa and Gaia Everfree, that if they wanted to protect what they both cherished most they would have to expel the foreign garbage from the world.
Raising her arms the newly formed entity of Gaia and Gloriosa proclaimed, “Hear me earth and listen to my call. I am Gaia Everfree! I am the protector of this land and with my host who too protects this land hear our plea!”
All around her vines flew from the water and earth around the base of the tower she created and slither up beside her like knights listening to a queen.
“Powers of the earth, sea, and air, lend us the power to expel the evils from here. Give us the power to protect what we value most! Our home! Our families! Our livelihoods! So says I Biollante! Protector of these lands!”
After the pact was made the tower of vine behind her, as if granting her wish, opened up into a large red rose with many mandibles around the pistil. Once this was done Biollante was pulled into the plant and swallowed to just above the base where the stem of the large rose swelled up into a large red and green veined sac. Inside the sac a mixture of pure water and sweet nectar filled and inside was Biollante, floating in the clear red filtered liquid.
With her sinister sneer she gripped her hands and looked in the direction of Godzilla and his mechanical counterpart through the eyes of nature. Seeing the two engaged in battle she could feel the plants around them bend to her will. With this power Biollante would bring swift destruction to the invaders and save Everfree.
“It’s time to destroy the invaders.”
