Sunset awoke to find herself standing in the middle of a street. But something was off about it. When she looked around the buildings were smashed. Those that still stood up had been bisected as their insides feel to the ground. She could hear the distinct sound of electricity sparking behind her. When she looked up in the sky it had a disturbing beauty to it as the darkness of the night sky mixed with the crimson flames that encompassed the city. She walked around the ghost town looking around trying to figure out what had happened.
"Hello?!" She received only an eerie silence as she kept walking.
'Okay, don't freak out.' Sunset thought to herself as she began going over what had happened last. She remembered getting away from a crazy woman and her giant monster army gang. Then went to the hospital with Adagio and Twilight. Twilight still seemed disturbed by her encounter with Kuro and Midnight so she decided to stay until the young scientist went back to sleep. Then everything was hazy after that. 'So is this a dream?'
She looked around and saw that on a building was writing but in another language. She quickly realized that it was Japanese from her studies on other cultures and interest in kaiju. 'Yep defiantly dreaming.' But unlike most of her dreams this one felt so real.
She kept walking seeing as it was the only thing she could do. That and think to herself about why she would dream something like this up. The only conclusion she could up with was that she had seen kaiju attack the city all day so she probably still had them on her mind. It would explain why she walking through a destroyed city. 'But why is it Japanese?'
"Mom?" A small voice called out freezing Sunset in her tracks. She looked around trying to find the owner but saw nothing.
"Hello?" Sunset called again picking up her pace. She was starting to run as she looked around the burnt landscape trying to find signs of life.
"Mom?" The voice called again. It was closer and she came to a halt looking around. When she turned her head she caught the glimpse of a small child walking down an alley. It was a little boy looking around the age of ten he was in a grey hoodie and had distinct head of spikey orange hair.
"Hey wait a minute!" Sunset called but the child ignored her and kept walking.
"Mom, please, where are you?" The child spoke again.
Sunset chased after the kid holding out her hand to catch him, "Hey I'll help you find your mom." To her surprise her hand went right through his shoulder. Sunset looked at her hand and touched herself she felt solid. She recalled this feeling before when she passed out at the hotel. But she had no time to think as the boy began to run at a slow jog that then turned into a sprint. Sunset sighed and chased after the boy.
"Mommy!" The boy moved faster with Sunset hot on his tail. He kept moving looking ahead as a smile started to form on his face. Sunset squinted noticing that there someone leaning against a wall. "Mommy I thought I lost you!" The boy cried as he raced toward the woman. But something felt off as there was no answer from the woman.
"Mommy?" The boy said again as he started to slow down.
Cocking his head in confusion as the woman he looked at didn't answer him. When Sunset caught up to the boy she gasped when she saw the woman. Her was hair color was a mixture of her own and Adagio's. Her eyes were open and looked the same color as Sunset's the only difference was that they were lifeless. She whore a tattered teal dress. Her side was dark red from an obvious stab wound. The boy walked slowly on shaky legs looking at his mother, "Hey come on Mom let's go." The boy said holding out his hand. Sunset stepped in front of him trying to cut him off. She already knew the woman was dead.
"Hey kid I'm sorry." Sunset said as she knelt down looking at the boy. She reeled back when she saw his eyes and face. "Kubo?"
He didn't answer and to Sunset's surprise he walked right through her. He kept holding out his hand reaching for his mother's hand. He gently ran his fingers through hers' dropping to his knees. He pulled on her but she didn't move she just lied motionless. "Mom? Mom?" He kept calling out to her but didn't get a response, "Mommy come on!" Tears started to fall from his face. Sunset inched closer as Kubo started to shake. She felt her heart starting to ache at the sight and held out her arms. She let them wrap around Kubo as she tried to pull him into a comforting a hug. But her arms simply fazed through him again. She tried calling out to him trying to get his attention but nothing worked. All she could was watch as Kubo reeled his head back and cried.
SKKREEEEOOOONNNK
A loud roar caused Sunset to jump as she looked around, "Godzilla?" She recognized the roar of the monster king but to her surprise she didn't seem to see him despite how close the roar sounded. It also surprised her that it didn't bother Kubo either as he cried louder over the body of his mother. Another roar sounded off signaling Godzilla was close but this time it was different. Not his normal roar that was meant to show power but more high pitched like a wail as if he were in pain. Each time Kubo cried out he was meet with Godzilla's wail. Sunset could only watch and listen as she heard the sounds of those who had lost something dear to them.

Sunset's eyes shot open as she picked her head up and looked around. She was no longer in a destroyed city but in a hospital room. She looked at the sleeping form of Twilight Sparkle in front of her. She was sitting in a chair by Twilight's bed she noticed she had a yellow jacket wrapped around her. There was a soft snore coming from the front of the door and she saw that Celestia was sitting in another chair with her jacket off sleeping as comfortably as she could on the wooden chair. When she looked at the window she noticed that there were small light coming through the blinds
She slowly got up letting some of her bones pop. She reached for her back pocket and pulled out her phone. To her surprise she had only a three percent charge left on her phone along with several voicemails and text messages from Rainbow Dash. From the look of the time the rainbow haired girl had been trying call her since six am! Her eyes widened and looked at the time noticing that it was eight in the morning. She was about to look at what Rainbow had sent her but just as she was about to open it her phone went dead. She sighed in annoyance instinctively trying to go for her charger only to realize, "I left it back in the hotel." She sighed and walked around trying to find Twilight's phone. But by the looks of things only the girl herself was there.
Sunset made her way over to Celestia gently placing her coat back over her. She gave a slight sigh turning in her sleep with a smile. Sunset then carefully reached for the woman's pocket and pulled out her phone. She clicked it on showing that the lock screen was a picture of Celestia and Sunset smiling at the camera sitting on a park bench. She smiled recalling the day it was taken. She noticed that Celestia's phone had eighty percent battery life. Along with several text messages from Luna. Normally she'd would kill her for looking at her phone, giving a speech about respecting her privacy. Kind of hypocritical considering that Celestia would always read her text messages whenever she wasn't looking. And this was kind of an emergency so she wouldn't mind that much. She took a glance at the one of the text Luna sent.
Getting the students on the bus heading back to town. See you soon.
'Must've been what Rainbow was calling me about.' Sunset thought before dialing up Rainbow's number and walking outside to leave Twilight and Celestia to sleep. The phone rang slowly as Sunset leaned against the wall looking around and rubbing her side.
It only took a few seconds before Rainbow's voice came over the phone. "Principal Celestia! How'd you get my number?! No, no wait how's Sunset? I mean Twilight! No wait the Dazzlings! I mean all of them!" Sunset held the phone away from her ear to avoid going deaf.
"Rainbow could you avoid rupturing my ear drums." Sunset said.
"Sunset! Oh my gosh! I've been trying to call you all morning!"
"I know you killed my phone."
"Oh, sorry about that." Rainbow chuckled nervously.
"It's fine where are the others?"
"We've been home for awhile now. We left the evacuation shelter around six." Rainbow moaned over the phone, "It was so hard to fall asleep on those lousy beds. Then just to rub it in they had us go back to the hotels just to get our stuff. We couldn't even take a quick nap!" Sunset laughed as Rainbow complained over the phone. "Oh yeah we also grabbed your stuff too along with Twilight and the Dazzlings. Just stop by Pinkie's she'll give it back."
"Thanks Dash."
"Speaking of which how are you guys doing?"
Sunset sighed recalling every heart racing moment of the night before. She explained everything that had happened since she left her friends behind.
"Geez that sounds intense. So how long do you think you guys will be in the hospital?"
"Well Twilight and Sonata should be moving again. But I don't know about Aria and Adagio." Sunset said looking up at the ceiling.
"And what about you?" Rainbow asked with hints of concern in her voice.
"I'm fine the doctor told me I just had a bruised rib. I'll be fine as long as I just relax." Sunset said brushing off her injury, "I'm going to meet with Adagio tell the girls I'm alright."
"Sure thing I guess. Just tell us when you're coming back. Pinkie Pie is throwing a welcome back party and you know how she get's when planning a party." Rainbow said.
Sunset snickered, "You bet."
With that she hung up the phone with a sigh. She opened the door back to Twilight's room checking on both her friend and Celestia, who were both sleeping soundly. She made her way over to Celestia placing her phone by her side. To her surprise Celestia snorted herself awake. Her vision blurry she could only make out the lines of Sunset's hair. "Sunny?" Celestia spoke in a whisper with her eye half open. She slowly started to rise back up but Sunset eased her back down.
"Shh. Go back to sleep I was just going out for a walk." Sunset whispered making sure she wasn't waking up Twilight.
"I wasn't the one who was being chased by monsters all night." Celestia said stroking Sunset's head gently. Sunset smiled enjoying the warmth Celestia gave her. But pulled away before Celestia could wrap her into a tight hug. She frowned at not being able to hug her. "Sunny are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah I'm just worried about Adagio. Besides you know when I wake up I can't go back to sleep." Sunset said.
"No, it's not that. You just look like you've been crying." Celestia said.
Sunset rose up walking over to the bathroom looking at herself in the mirror. It was only now that she had truly seen herself all morning. Her eyes were puffy along with stains on her cheeks from what appeared to be dried tears. When was she crying? Sunset tried to think of when she had been shedding tears but none came to mind. Except her dream. The image of a young Kubo crying next to his mother was still fresh in her head. But that was just a dream they never affected her that much before.
"Are you alright Sunny?" Celestia asked as she stood by the bathroom with a look of concern.
"Y-yeah I was just dreaming about something." Sunset said as she splashed water on her face, "Could you maybe just stick with Twilight? I don't think it's right to leave her alone right now." She said looking over at her friend as she slept peacefully. With that she walked past Celestia heading to the door. But as she got ready to step out the door she stopped recalling her dream once more. "Love you." She said over her shoulder with a smile before taking off.
Celestia let the words sink in as Sunset left her behind. "Now that's rare for you to say." She looked over to the still sleeping Twilight, "Especially when someone else is around." She walked over to the door and watched as Sunset left down the hall letting out a tired sigh.
"I know that sigh." A voice called from behind Celestia nearly making her jump. She turned to find Miki looking at her with a smile. The red headed woman put a hand on her shoulder with a smile, "The sound of a mother in woe."
"Dr. Akiko?" Celestia looked at her with a raised eyebrow. That caused Miki to recoil in response pulling her hand away with a laugh. She rubbed the back of her head nervously.
"Oh um sorry I wasn't eavesdropping just happened to watch the tail end your conversation and please call me Miki." Miki said as she watched Sunset leave.
"I never knew having a daughter would be this hectic." Celestia said with a smile looking at Miki.
"Trust me sister you're not alone." Miki said with a chuckle, "So I take it your a new mother?"
Celestia watched Sunset get further down the hall, "I don't even know if I qualify to be a mother considering Sunset prefers to stay in an apartment rather than with me and it's only been recently since she started letting me into her life."
"Don't worry yourself." Miki said patting Celestia hard on the back nearly knocking the woman off her feet, "I went through the same thing. She may act distant but deep down she really does care about you."
"How do you know?"
"Simple I went through the same thing with my little Missy." Miki said with a smile that was infectious to Celestia, "Is that a smile I see." Miki laughed along with Celestia as they both shared the calming moment.
Neither noticed the shadows dancing along the wall. Twilight turned in her sleep letting out a moan of discomfort. Her nose crinkled as a shadow grew over her bed. It slowly took shape as wings formed out of the back. It took a human like shape and a hand reached out slowly edging it's way toward the sleeping teenager.
"Thanks for the advice. Strange normally I'm the one giving it." Celestia said as she stepped back into the room waving goodbye to Miki as the scientist walked away. The shadow forming around Twilight quickly retracted. She walked past Twilight gently rubbing her head. Twilight clung to the bed sheets moaning in discomfort. Celestia sighed, "Poor girl just what happened to you?"
Celestia kept rubbing her students head gently unaware she was being watched. Twilight may have been sleeping soundly but another was wide awake. In the mirror to the bathroom Twilight's reflection opened an eye but instead of purple her eyes were a shade of green. She glared at Celestia and herself.
________________
Camp Everfree took up a major portion of the city of Canterlot. It nearly surrounded the city along with the many mountains. The forest was clean and held very little signs of the outside world other than a rode that lead into the middle of the woods. There sat a large lake that was surrounded old wooden cabins. This was the only part of the forest that came close to looking like modern society. As a sign stood in front that read Camp Everfree welcoming visitors inside. Bellow a long limousine drove under it leaving the camp behind. A man with a dark sun tan looked out with a wicked smile as he drove off.
Further inside the camp two people watched the long car drive off. One of them was a woman with dark raspberry hair her skin was a light brown and she had a ring of flowers sitting on top of her head. She was wearing a yellow tank top with her shorts. Tears were falling from her light green eyes. The others was a teenage boy with darker skin than the woman standing next to him. He wore a skull cap over his green hair, along with a red shirt with cargo shorts. He was clenching his fist tight as he watched the car drive off.
The woman next to him walked away much to the boy's surprise, "Gloriosa, wait!"
"Timber, please I just want to be alone." Gloriosa said as she walked away to the forest.
Timber sighed as he watched his sister leave. He looked around at the camp taking it all in. Then to the large house standing in the center. "What would you two do?" Just as he was about to walk away something caught his attention. His eyes widened at the floating object flying through the air. It looked like a ball of glitter surrounded by swirling light. He rubbed his eyes trying to make sure he wasn't seeing things. As soon as he opened his eyes it was gone. He raised a brow in thought at seeing such a strange thing, "Must be seeing things." He suddenly felt the ground move under his feet. He looked at the lake as it started to rumble. The birds flew off crying out in fear. The mountain started to crumble and Timber's eyes widened at the sight of what came out of it.
Further inside the forest Gloriosa sat on a log next to a flowing stream letting the tears fall from her eyes. The world around her was falling apart as she began replaying events in her head. She heard the words of the man from the limo playing in her head. She looked up at the sky praying for an answer, "Please don't let me loose the camp."
As she kept crying she caught something in the corner of her eye. A purple ball of light hung in the air twirling around. She watched as it hung in the air in front of her before flying off. "Hey wait a minute!" She called out following the ball of light unaware of the growing dust cloud behind her.
She kept chasing after the ball of light with vigor. It soon lead her to a rock quarry she watched as the light flew inside of it. A glow came from inside it causing Gloriosa to widen her eyes in shock. She ran straight in between the rocks sucking in her gut to get past them. She finally managed to get past the rocks blocking the entrance she gazed up the crystals in the cave with awe. This cave was so beautiful she couldn't help but feel at ease. The world around her seemed to almost disappear as she was so fixated on the cave.
She gasped at seeing what stood in the center. A small pillar stood with seven rainbow colored gems inside of it. They gave off an alluring power that drew Gloriosa closer to it. She held out a hand wanting to feel more of it. The gems started to glow brighter as she reached out for them. She placed her hand on them and felt a shock go through her body causing her to jump back.
She braced herself ready to fall on the hard rocks but to her surprise her landing was soft. She looked around and saw that there were branches surrounding her body. They had a green glow around them as they gently lowered her back to the ground. She looked around noticing that the branches were staying by her side. She held up her hands taking notice that she held five of the gems in her hand. Each time they glowed she felt power flowing through her body. She waved her hand and the plants followed her.
She couldn't help but laugh at the sight as they followed up to her and rubbed against her leg like a dog. She knelt down patting it with a smile. "Good um... plant?" She said with a confused grin. The plants around her began to come closer. She moved her hand more the plants stood up.
"GLORIOSA!" A shout from outside got her to raise her head up. From the front of cave Timber Spruce came scrambling through the rocks. Gloriosa came running up to brother helping him up to his feet. He pushed her back into the cave with fear edged on his face, "It's coming Gloriosa!"
"What's coming?"
GAOOOOO
A loud roar shook the cave. The light outside became shrouded by darkness. The two boulders that stood in front of the cave were easily scooted away by the being that stood outside. It lowered it's head down revealing a gray scaled face looking inside at the two humans inside of them. The creature let out a low growl letting it's hot breath surround the siblings.
"It's one of those kaiju things from the news." Timber said.
The kaiju outside looked at them curiosity. Sensing the strange and familiar aura's from the night before drew him out of his slumber and caused him to come to this area. But after they disappeared he stopped his journey and chose to settle in this part for the time being. Then just as he prepared to move he felt something else it was calming but still unknown his curiosity was getting the better of him. He could sense it coming from the humans.
"Is it me or is he looking at you?" Timber asked shaking. Gloriosa put a protective arm around her brother. She held up her hand and the gems began to glow. She didn't know what she was doing all she wanted to do was protect the only family she had left.
"STAY BACK!" She screamed just as the gems in her hands came to life.
The kaiju outside roared out in surprise as it came away from the entrance. The ground shook more along with the sound of loud stomps. Gloriosa and Timber looked at each other in confusion. The roars and snarls continued along with the sound of snapping wood. She felt something inside herself draw her outside. So without warning she ran outside leaving Timber behind.
"What are you doing?!" Timber yelled chasing after her.
She came to a stop looking up. Timber followed her point of view looking up. His eyes widened when he saw the giant in front of him. It stood on four legs with gray scales excluding it's back which was an ivory shell of spikes. It's tail was like a whip as it waved in the air at the end of were small spikes that looked deadly if they hit a target. On it's crocodilian like skull sat large horns making them assemble a crown along with a nasal horn. It's mouth held rows sharp teeth along with two short fangs. But what surprised Timber more was what this kaiju was fighting against.
It looked as though the forest had come to life. Vines had surrounded it and were trying to pull the beast down. But easily fought back snapping any of them that got close and smashing the ground, uprooting trees, the kaiju snarled at the opposing threat. More vines began surrounding the kaiju as it snarled and pawed at the ground. A vine came from it's side and the kaiju used it's back legs to keep them at bay.
Gloriosa watched the scene with sad eyes as she watched her forest be smashed to pieces by the monster in front of her. Her forest and her home was being destroyed. It felt like her world was ending she just wanted it all to, "STOP!" She held up the five gem stones. Each one glowing but the brightest was the yellow stone. The kaiju suddenly stopped in it's tracks. It shook in place an alligator like snarl came from it's lips. A green glow came over it's brown eyes. It gently brought it's front claw down as it settled to the ground.
Timber and Gloriosa both had wide eyes as they watched the armored kaiju settle down in front of them. It tried to move in resistance but something kept it at by. A low snarling growl came from it's throat as it looked at the humans in front of it. Gloriosa looked down at her hands noticing that the gems were glowing bright. When the kaiju tried to move again Gloriosa held up her hand, "Stay still!" The kaiju snarled as the green glow in it's eyes intensified. It settled down looking at Gloriosa.
Timber watched his sister unsure of what to make of the situation, "Gloriosa, what are you doing?" He cautiously watched his sister as she approached the kaiju. She was only inches from it's fangs that were twice her size.
"Timber how's the camp?" Gloriosa asked in a disturbingly calm voice. Timber didn't answer as he was to focused on how his sister was standing in front of a wild monster. "Timber?!" Gloriosa snapped at him causing Timber to snap to attention.
"It went around the camp everything's still standing." Timber stammered out. Gloriosa smiled and reached her hand out to touch the kaiju, "Gloriosa wait!" Timber yelled out.
Gloriosa didn't pay attention to his warning as she placed her hand on the kaiju's snout and rubbed it like a dog. She smiled as the kaiju stood still. "Good boy." She said as a green aura began surrounding her body. A small vine began to wrap around her neck they etched their way down arm wrapping around the gems she held. The vines began to wrap around her neck taking the gems with them and forming a necklace. She smiled still patting the kaiju on it's snout before snapping her fingers, "I remember you now. You're one of the kaiju from Las Vegas what did they call you again? Oh yeah, Anguirus!" Gloriosa turned to her brother with a smile one that Timber wasn't all to sure about. "Timber we may keep our camp after all."
"What are you talking about?"
"Look at this!" Gloriosa waved her hand causing the trees Anguirus smashed to regrow as if nothing happened. "We can restore the camp get new guest and raise money."
"But what about him?" Timber pointed with a shaky hand toward Anguirus.
Gloriosa had a dark smile as she pat the kaiju's snout again, "He'll make sure that wolf Filthy Rich will never bother us again."
Anguirus shook as his body refused to listen to him. There was something pulling at his mind forcing him to obey. Each time he tried to pull away it slammed his mind back down. Whatever this was it was strong taking away his will. He kept fighting trying to push it out. He wanted it out. Out of his head.
Each time the human touched him we wanted to snarl, but even those were starting to stop. He was starting to lose more control of his body to whatever this was. All he could do was think about how much he hated this human touching him. There was only one that he liked touching him. The human with black hair and smelled nice. He longed to see that one again.

New York

"Aki come on!" Hikari called out as she walked toward the hospital.
"I coming keep your skirt on." Akiko called back as she rubbed her rumbling stomach. "Can't I get something to eat?"
"Didn't you eat a sausage biscuit on our way here?" Hikari asked.
"You know those things aren't filling." Akiko moaned. Hikari just sighed as Akiko dragged her feet along. Suddenly she felt a chill going down her spine. Her head shot up and she looked around. Something felt off but she couldn't put her finger on it. But a soft chop on her head broke her trance.
"Come on, Sis." Hikari said wrapping her arm around Akiko's pulling her along. Akiko went along with her but she still couldn't help but feel like something was off. "You okay, Aki?"
"Yeah just got this weird feeling." Akiko said just as her stomach growled making her moan again, "Aki hungry."
Hikari sighed with a laugh, "If you eat to much then you'll end being too full for the party."
"Don't underestimate my belly." Akiko said resting her head on top of Hikari's with a sigh. She looked up at the passing clouds over their heads. "Hey Sis what do you think Angy's up to?"
...............
Atlantic Ocean
.............
A large cruise ship moved through the middle of the ocean cutting the oncoming waves. It's destination was from New York to the Caribbean. Only it's course was changed. The deck had a large lounge with a swimming pool, but it was completely empty. Further inside the ship the rooms were empty with no signs of life. Except for a select few.
Kuro clenched her teeth as hot water was poured over her frost bitten feet. She glared at the man in front of her as he kept pouring hot water over her feet. She sat in a lounge chair propping up her feet. On her shoulder sat Midnight, who was looking down at the man in front of her.
"How are you feeling, Kuro?"
"It stings." Kuro said with a pout.
"Y-You only have minor frost bite nothing too serious." The man at Kuro's feet said with fear in his voice.
"You only live because of you're skills with medicine, parasite." Midnight hissed silencing the man before looking at Kuro, "And what did I tell you about being around Gezora bare foot?"
"I'm sorry Midnight." Kuro said letting her head sag. Midnight just sighed patting Kuro's cheek. The doctor just watched them with shaky eyes as he brought up bandages.
"This may hurt a bit." The doctor spoke slowly.
"If you say one more word I'll end you." Midnight glared at the doctor as aura began building in her hand. To their side was a woman in an apron she took shaky steps as she wheeled a desert cart to them. Midnight just snorted, "Kuro, your reward."
Kuro looked at the desert cart with wide eyes and a watering mouth. "Really?!" Midnight nodded as the chef brought the sweets to Kuro. The chef smiled at her, but it was clearly full of fear. She removed the lids showing a large cake. Kuro smiled looking it over and sniffing it with vigor. Just as she was about to dig in the doctor at her feet finished wrapping the bandages. Although just as he finished putting a final touch on her feet it also lead to him tightening the bandages. Sending a slight sting through her foot. Much to Kuro's annoyance. He pulled away wiping the sweat off his forehead.
She wiggled her toes looking at the bandages around her feet. She then looked at the doctor with a wicked smile, "Will it leave a scar? Because I don't like those." Kuro said as she traced one of the many scars that lined her stomach. The doctor was about to answer but then remembered the threat Midnight made. He just shook his head getting Kuro to smile, "Use your words."
The doctor just shook in place as he looked at Midnight. The dark Elias kept a hard stare at him, "Say whatever you want you're no longer useful to us. Just make them fitting last words."
"Last words?" The doctor said.
"I told you you're not useful to us anymore." Midnight said.
The doctor looked like a deer caught in the head lights as he scrambled away from the two of them. He ran away as fast as he could. The only thought going through his head was to jump over the edge and swim away. Anything was better than staying onboard. Midnight just smiled at the sight of him running before snapping her fingers. The water around the ship began to bubble as a large body began to rise out of the water. Yellow eyes glared down at the small morsel. Varan the Glutton licked his lips. The doctor looked at the dragon in fear as he began to back away. Before he could get any farther Midnight snapped her fingers again.
"Varan feed."
The doctor lost his footing as the ground beneath his feet was gone. Varan held him by the claw the doctor screamed trying to pull away but failed. The gluttonous dragon opened his mouth tossing the screaming doctor inside. He let a low growl as the blood coursed down his throat.
The chef shook in place as she watched Varan feed. A hum from Kuro suddenly caught her attention. The white haired woman began inspecting the desert cart looking for any other form of food. She rubbed her chin humming, "Hey did you make any cookies?"
The chef looked at Kuro fearfully as her red eyes inspected her. "I can make you some I'll just need a few minutes." The chef said trying to make up an excuse.
"But I want them now." Kuro complained.
"I promise my cookies are to die for!" The chef said putting on a fearful smile as sweat poured down her face.
Varan snarled as he rose out of the water more covering the ship in his shadow. His eyes loomed down at the chef as she shook in place. Midnight snapped her fingers with an evil grin, "I'm sure they were." The chef screamed as Varan grabbed her.
"MMPH! Not bad maybe we should have kept her." Kuro said as she stuffed her face with cake.
"She would have annoyed me." Midnight said as she took a bite herself letting out a satisfied hum, "Maybe once all this is over I'll spare one or two of these chefs."
"So what do we now?" Kuro asked.
Midnight closed her eyes tapping her chin. "I need to regain my strength." With a snap the ship stopped in place. Blue tentacles began crawl up the sides as Gezora rose out of the water. Kuro began to shiver in place as Gezora began to freeze the ship.
"Gezora let go!" Kuro complained.
The kaiju did as instructed letting go and backing away slowly. He also let out a loud moan holding up several other arms looking them over. Their normal blue coloring was over shadowed by a brown tint from burns. The fight with Godzilla had left Gezora in a sorry state as his body began the aggravating process of healing.
"Yes, Yes I know." Midnight said waving her hand at the complaining kaiju. "You'll have plenty of time to heal while you go scouting."
"What about the girls?" Kuro asked taking a harsh bite of her cake like a wild wolf. The thought of the one named Sunset bringing nothing but rage to her mind. She would pay for what she did to Midnight.
"I told you already I planted a seed that would strike fear into the heart of those girls and tear them apart from the inside." Midnight chuckled just before her head shot up sensing two new auras coming up. "And to tear them up from the outside we have..." The water around Gezora began to swell as to forms rose out. Varan looked at them unimpressed by the show of force the two kaiju showed. One of them was a massive green rock turtle it's shell looked as though it was once part of a rocky island two large fangs hung from it's mouth, "Kamoebas, you look well." Midnight said looking at the kaiju as it let out a high pitched roar.
The other kaiju was a massive rubble crab that was red as a brick. With sharp spines across it's exoskeleton. It could have easily been mistaken for a mountain due to it's rocky surface. Large bulgy eyes waved around on top of it's head. Two massive pincers slammed into the water as foam came out of the kaiju's side ways mouth. "I guess you must have been bored, Ganimes. Well don't worry I have a mission for you."
Kamoebas looked at Kuro and noticed that her feet were damaged. He could smell her blood and it made him snarl. He looked at Varan with pure malice. The turtle could only suspect that their newest member was the cause of it. Varan merely growled while rolling his eyes and directing his attention toward Gezora, who shrunk back. When Kamoebas looked at him the turtle hissed showing off his fangs. "Enough Kamoebas." Midnight spoke just as thunder crackled across the sky.
Already annoyed from his fight with that beast, Godzilla, Battra let out a loud roar. He descended from the sky any kaiju that wasn't Varan shook with minor fear. Lightning danced across his claws as he looked at Kamoebas. The turtle shrunk back, bowing his head in a show of submission. Battra hovered above the boat looking down at the kaiju he chose to surround himself with.
Kuro snickered at the sight and blew Kamoebas a kiss, "Thanks for caring, Kammy."
Midnight let out a small laugh as she held her middle and index fingers to her head. Smoke swirled around them. "My memories are yours and your memories are mine." She spoke coldly before shooting the smoke from her hand straight toward the turtle and crab. The smoke entered both of their eyes and they began to glow purple.
The memories of the time spent in New York flashed in their heads. One in particular of seven rainbow colored auras. Once it was done Kamoebas and Ganimes's eyes turned back to normal. Ganimes roared to the heavens as he felt the urge to destroy rising up like bubbling water. Kamoebas looked to his mistress bowing his head awaiting his orders.
"Wait for the aura of those seven to rise then collect them for me. Alive." She said looking at Ganimes specifically. The crab simply bowed it's head showing he understood. A sinister smile then formed on the dark Elias's face, "But once you have them. You may as the parasites say 'go crazy' on that quite little town of theirs."
Ganimes let out a loud thundering cry holding his pincers high into the sky. His roar was one of pure crazy joy. He quickly dove under the sea speeding off. Kamoebas lingered looking at his mistress then to Kuro bowing his head in loyalty. He then sent a quick side glare to Varan and Gezora the cuttlefish shrunk back. But Varan simply welcomed it by licking his lips watching the turtle dive beneath the water.
Battra landed on top of the cruise ship clutching it between his claws with a surprisingly gentle touch for a creature his size. As the black moth began to rise with the ship Midnight gave out her final orders.
"Gezora, find the base of the one named Frankenstein. Observe only and wait for further orders."
Gezora complied without question as he dove under the water.
"Varan you may do whatever you wish. Just be sure to come when I call you."
Varan snorted as he dove down. It was only for a second though as he quickly burst out of the water. The loose flaps of skin under his arms unfolding letting him glide in the air. He took off with a thundering roar ready to find his next meal.
"Battra take us back home. Let's regain our power and rest." Midnight spoke with respect to the moth as he began to ascend. "Kuro how are your feet?"
Kuro snored in response Midnight looked at her with a raised brow. Her eyes were closed and her face was covered in icing along with her fingers. Midnight sighed levitating napkins off the cart and began wiping Kuro clean. It was rare to see but whenever Kuro slept she looked like a child. The dark Elias couldn't help smile as her heart fluttered. She yawned and turned nearly causing Midnight to fall off. She caught herself landing on the woman's side. Midnight looked at the scars across Kuro's body. She touched one causing Kuro to tense up and whimper. She sneered, "Curse those parasites" With a sigh Midnight crawled her way to Kuro's head. She brushed a white hair from Kuro's forehead and gently kissed it causing Kuro to smile. "Sleep well my Kuro." Midnight said as Battra roared thunder clouds began to form around him. Soon his body was completely hidden as the massive storm clouds hovered over the ocean heading for uncharted parts of the world.
