//------------------------------// // For Everfree: Let's Go Camping! // Story: Monster King // by Godzilla2020 //------------------------------// "Useless." "Hello....whose there?" "Why am I so useless?" Sunset looked around trying to find where the voice was coming from. She stood on a cliffside overlooking a massive forest that lead to a beach. The breeze was warm and the sound of the ocean was incredibly calming yet she couldn't help getting this strange feeling of dread. When she looked behind her the cliff she stood on lead to a large cave entrance. "This is big enough for a monster." She whispered to herself. "Useless." Sunset heard the voice coming from this entrance and it made her gulp. Her feet moved forward even though she didn't want. To her surprise the cave was surprisingly well lit as there was a large hole in the ceiling letting in sunlight. Her jaw dropped when she saw the interior of the cave ancient stone structures that had vegetation growing around them littered the area. When Sunset looked at the largest tower she noticed it had a peculiar marking of a cross inside of a sun. When she looked deeper inside the cave Sunset saw a large lake sitting in the middle. Beside it was an altar that was longer than any building she'd seen. Her eyes grew wide when she saw what was sitting next to the lake and on the altar. Black scales slowly rose up as Godzilla let out pained roars. Orange and blue wings gently fluttered as Mothra called out to him. It looked like they had come from a titanic battle. Though it looked as if Godzilla had taken the brunt of the assault. His black scales were stained red and his snout had claw marks running across it. Sunset winced when she noticed the wounds along his body slowly closing. Godzilla let out another pained roar as he clutched his chest. Sunset could feel her stomach turning as she saw beneath the monster king's fingers and noticed the raw muscle that was hidden under his scales. From the altar Mothra called out to him crawling forward her antenna twitching as her mouth moved with concern. Her fur was ruffled and there were small scars running across her body. She may have been ruffed up, but compared to Godzilla she looked healthy. The younger kaiju looked to Godzilla calling out to him. He looked at her holding up a bloody hand and placed it on her head letting a calming roar. Sunset felt a small tingling in her heart at the interaction. "The big guy got really messed up back there." Bone Crusher suddenly walked next to Sunset. She looked at him about to say something, but was cut off when Hikari walked through her. "Mothra, would have been worse if he didn't take the hit for her." The rest of the G-team were nodding there heads in agreement. Sunset looked down at the interacting kaiju and noticed Mothra was hanging her head in distress. "Useless." Sunset heard the distraught voice again. She looked around confused about where it was coming from when she looked to the G-team none of them were saying anything. . .. …. ………… Sunset's eyes fluttered open noticing the sun coming through her window. Her body wasn't aching as much as before, in fact it felt as though her bruise may have disappeared as her side felt warm. She still just wanted to stay in bed, it may only have been a day, but Sunset didn't realize how much she missed her bed since staying in a hospital. Then there was also this amazing pillow she was resting her head on. It was so soft and comfortable although it was a little itchy. She sighed contently as she pushed her body down on her mattress. Was it from being away or did her bed get really softer. It was surprisingly squishy and she couldn't help, but continue to squeeze as she tried figuring out what was going on. 'Did I get new pillows?' "You've got three seconds to cut that out." A voice grumbled under her. Sunset's eyes shot open and she realized that her 'pillow' was bright orange and very puffy. She shot up like a spring from the person she was lying under. Adagio rose up cracking her bones she gave Sunset a side long glance full of annoyance. Sunset was nervously laughing rubbing her hand behind her head. 'I'm so dead.', She thought to herself as the siren looked at her. Though Sunset quickly changed the topic by pointing a finger to Adagio. "Why are you in my bed?" Adagio pointed to the stand next to the bed where a lamp and a bag of water sat. "You passed out on the couch and I carried you to bed. Then I had to ice down you're wound because you kept moaning." "That doesn't explain why you're in my bed." Sunset deadpanned. "That was you." Sunset gave the siren a confused look making Adagio sigh with annoyance. "I was about to leave then you got this stupid grin on your face and grabbed me." "I did?" "You were mumbling something about riding, Godzilla." "Oh, it was that dream again." Sunset said. Her cheeks were rosy as she face palmed. 'Why does my mind keep embarrassing me?' She then felt another chill go down her spine as Adagio fully turned around. It felt like she was looking right into the unicorn's soul. When in reality Adagio was staring past her and it was making Sunset sweat more. 'Is she looking at what I think she's looking at?' Sunset turned her head and practically turned to stone. A dry scream was stuck in her throat. 'She is!' There was a big reason Sunset didn't let people in her room. On the wall were a series of hand drawn pictures of herself riding a certain lizard and other kaiju standing in fighting poses combined with various action figures. Ever since she arrived in this dimension Sunset had developed a bad case of collectoritis. Anything she thought was cool she would grab without question and the arrival of kaiju sent the Equestrian into full fangirl mode. Now her room was littered with collectables and various items that caused some, mostly anyone with rainbow hair, to laugh at her. 'And now she's seen it. Here comes the laughing.' Sunset braced as she saw Adagio's cheeks puff and a smile formed on her face. "You are such a nerd." Sunset groaned slumping her head. Suddenly she felt something on her side it was warm and fuzzy. She lifted the covers more so to find a mini-Mothra to be resting on her ribs. Her wings fluttered as her antenna glowed. Adagio was shocked by the sight as well and more so when Sunset lifted her shirt. The bruise that had been bothering her for so long was gone. "Did you do this?" "Well, looks like you have new friend." Adagio said. She rose out of the bed cracking her neck. Sunset noticed that the siren rubbed the scar running down her neck. "Hey, maybe she can heal your scar." Adagio shook her head, "If she could she would have done it by know. Besides it won't reverse anything. Midnight's still after us." Sunset frowned as Adagio started making her way to the bathroom. She quickly raced to the siren, startling Mothra in the process, and hugged Adagio. "Hey, about last night I meant to tell you that I'm scared too, but we've got to trust the G-team to have our backs and we should have their backs too." She squeezed Adagio tighter, "Also I've got your back." "I know," Adagio said with a sigh placing her hand on Sunset's arm. She turned her head with a smile red eyes meeting teal, "I've got your back too." Sunset looked at Adagio surprised by her actions. Adagio moved from Sunset's arms and looked her up and down. The elder siren took off her headband and placed it on Sunset's head. She rubbed her chin with a hum then smiled, "Hold onto this for me. Huh, you look good with spikes." Sunset touched the headband then looked to Adagio. It was then met with a flick to the forehead, "When someone compliments you say 'thank you'. Stupid Pony." "Ow, I was just surprised, Chunky Siren." Sunset said rubbing her forehead. Adagio blushed placing a hand on her hips, "For your information your hand me downs are just too small. Now find me something that actually fits when I come out of the bathroom." Sunset noticed that Adagio was pulling down her old pajamas, which were riding up. "Anything else your majesty?" Sunset asked rolling her eyes. "For your information yes," Adagio said. Sunset groaned holding out her hand for Adagio to speak. To her surprise Adagio was blushing and rubbing her arm, "When we see Kubo again...would...you wanna come with me to hang out with him?" "Yes!" Sunset shouted before clearing her throat, "I mean yeah, hanging out sounds cool." Adagio cleared her throat as well, "Cool. I'll try not to use up the hot water." With that Adagio rushed to the bathroom leaving Sunset and Mothra alone. The young kaiju looked at the girl with a cocked head letting out a small chirp. Sunset pat the moth on the head with a hide smile on her face. She looked herself in the mirror touching Adagio's head band, "You think the spiky look is good?" CHEEEEERUNT? "Right, you don't wear clothes....or talk." Sunset said. She then looked down at the small moth again recalling the dream she had before waking up. "What was that?" She sat on her bead humming in thought and Mothra crawled into her lap rubbing against her. She began thinking of the dreams she'd been having recently ever since meeting the G-team. "Are my powers growing?" ………………. Everfree Forest (Outskirts) ……………… Kubo road through the forest at top speed on his motorcycle. His bike rode through the forest floor with ease. Moll cheered as she poked her head from his shirt. "Faster Kubo!" "Alright, alright, hang on tight. I can smell the beach!" Kubo shouted over the engine. He revved the engine and blue flames came out of the exhaust pipe and he speed up. Moll cheered louder as he cleared the tree brush and onto the sandy beach. He turned on a dime before driving toward the ocean. He looked at the dash board and found a blip appearing on it. It got louder as he kept driving in a straight line. He hummed and kept moving foreword when he looked to the water all he saw were calming waves. Time felt like it was slowing down to a crawl as he stared at the water. So much so that he wasn't paying attention. "Watch out!" Moll shouted. His eyes widened and he put on the breaks skidding to a complete halt. He wiped the sweat from his brow taking a breath, "Thanks for the warning." Kubo looked to the massive hole in the ground and to the others in front of it. "Looks like the big guy was in a rush." Kubo hummed rubbing his chin. He studied the holes, which were truly foot prints, as they led out to the ocean. He looked around finding small scales as well. Moll let out a sad sigh. "And Mothra couldn't stop him. What could have caused him to act like this?" CHEEEEERRRRRUUUUUUNT A squeaking chirp caught their attention as a mini-Mothra stuck her head from a nearby bush. Moll happily waved to the young kaiju as she flew to Kubo. In her legs she held a disc and happily placed it in Kubo's palm. She sat on his shoulder allowing Moll to crawl onto her. Mothra began twitching her antenna and moving her muzzle letting out soft squeaks. Kubo observed Moll as she bobbed her head. The young Elias turned her head to Kubo with a worried expression. "Kubo, Mothra says the reason Godzilla left is because..." Moll hesitated as she nervously glanced to the ocean, "because he smelled blood." Kubo looked shocked and turned his head to the water. He felt a chill going down his spine and he could have sworn the air got sharper. "Let's head back and regroup with the others, Moll. This place is giving me the creeps." "What about Godzilla?" "I'll look for him after I check on the girls." Kubo said. He sent a glare to the ocean feeling as though something was watching him and he challenged it. He revved the engine again before taking off to the city. Mothra flew behind him with Moll sitting her back looking back to the ocean and began to glow, trying to sense anything. Her sensory abilities were spreading far out in the area. Until she suddenly felt a small spark causing her head to shoot up in the direction of the mountains. 'What was that?' Mothra looked back as well feeling something wasn't right in that direction. The young kaiju felt the her hairs rising up feeling something off about the entire area. ………………… Canterlot City ………………… Hikari let out an annoyed groan as she slumped her shoulders. While Akiko was happily humming to herself while swing her hips. She held a brown bag that was wet from something Sunset wasn't sure about. Hikari was holding the figure that Vector had bought the other night. She was staring at it with contempt. "I can't believe we couldn't get a refund!" "Sorry, I should have warned you about that store owner. He's a little stingy when it comes to refunds." Sunset said. "It's not your fault, Sunset. It would have helped if somebody wasn't dancing around and buying everything in sight." Hikari sent the stink eye to Akiko, who was still singing to herself. "My little Boopy, my little Boopy. I'm gonna love you, yes I will.~" Akiko sang to herself. "She seems excited." Adagio said walking along Sunset. Her eyes were slightly lowered in mild annoyance. She held her spiked pumps in her hands which were covered by fingerless gloves. She was now wearing purple sandals that matched the jeans she borrowed. Her top was the one Sunset had worn when she first met the unicorn. Though was it was much smaller on the siren's larger frame causing it to ride up. "Didn't I ask you for something that fit?" "It's not my fault your bigger than me." Sunset shot back. Adagio shot her a glare making Sunset wave her hands in defense. "I meant taller. You're taller than me." Adagio rolled her eyes at the statement adjusting Sunset's shirt again. The only part of her outfit that was her own was the gold belt she kept around her waist. Her puffy hair was being held by a scrunchie instead of her spiked head band. That was resting on Sunset's head. "We can go to your house after we see, Vector. If your up for that, Adagio." Hikari said. "It will be good to get some of my stuff back. Like my...car." Adagio hit her head with her palm, "I can't believe I forgot it at the school. I seriously hope they didn't tow it." 'Have some faith.' Lora's voice played in their heads. Adagio and Sunset looked to the backpack Hikari had on. It shuffled and a mini-Mothra poked her head out along with Lora. The elder Elias glowed as she stared at Hikari. 'Moll and Kubo are on their way back. They have much to discuss with us.' Sunset felt a chill when she heard Lora mention that it felt like there was an eye watching her. She suddenly felt warmth in her hand looking down to find Adagio interlocking her fingers with hers. She could feel the siren shaking, but managing to keep a calm face. Hikari was doing the same looking at the girls with a soft smile. "Let's stay focused on the positives." Hikari said. "That's right Vecy, I am the best sister in the world." Akiko said to herself holding a hand to her cheek. Her eyes were glassy and the girls could swear they could see hearts coming off her head. "Akiko has that down." Hikari said with a groan. Suddenly a black van drove by startling Sunset and Adagio. Hikari had a smile as a series of them came down the streets in a line. Sunset rose a brow as it looked like they all were coming from Pinkie's house. When she looked at them there was a logo that appeared to be Godzilla holding the world. Under that were the letters A.G.A.F. "Looks like Dr. Trans is putting Vector to work." Hikari said. "All of this just for one person?" Adagio asked. "Vector may be an annoying little snot, but he can do some pretty amazing things when sets his mind to it." Hikari explained, "Though I do have to kick him into gear." 'Literally.' Lora added on. Sunset snickered at that and noticed that they were finally reaching Pinkie Pie's house. "That's Pinkie's place." "Vecy!" Akiko cheered and started running at top speed. "Aki!" Hikari sighed and chased after the G-team captain. Lora yelped at the sudden movement and her face started to turn green. Adagio looked at Sunset and shrugged choosing to run after the women. Sunset noticed that the siren had a small smile on her face as she ran showing her worries were going down. She let out a happy sigh and started to run. When she caught up to Adagio the two shared a look and their eyes narrowed with confident smirks. Adagio started to speed up and Sunset started keeping pace with her. Without even noticing they passed Hikari, who was panting like a dog. "Hey, this isn't a race." Sunset and Adagio laughed as they ran with each other. It was a rare feeling that either of them had. For once they weren't competing to save or take over the world. Their hearts were racing from a friendly competition. One Sunset only felt when she raced Rainbow Dash. One Adagio felt when she arm wrestled with Aria. It was a feeling neither thought they would have for other. They could only assume this was the same feeling Sonata and Pinkie Pie had when they were together. They felt like true friends. So engrossed with each other Sunset and Adagio failed to notice the purple bike riding in front of them. "Woah!" Sunset and Adagio ran face first into Twilight Sparkle and Spike. All four groaned as their eyes swirled. They looked like one being as their bodies twitched. Sunset practically fused with Twilight and her bike, while Adagio had a small pair of puppy legs swinging in her hair as Spike gave muffled cries. "Does anyone see a set of teeth? If so they're mine." Twilight said in a daze. "Are...you...okay?" Hikari asked as she came to a panting stop. She had her hands over her knees as she hunched over. "Yeah, sorry Twilight." Sunset said rubbing her head and removing a wheel from her foot. She looked at Twilight to inspect her friend. Her eyes widened to find that Twilight had bags under her eyes, "Twilight, are you feeling okay?" Twilight shook her dizzy head looking at Sunset, "Yeah just," She had a small shutter thinking of her nightmare,"...just a rough night." "You're telling me." Spike said pulling himself free of Adagio's hair. The dog looked at Sunset and the spiked head band she had giving an approving nod, "Copying my style? I can see why the spike look is good." He referenced his own collar with a smile. Sunset snickered at the him before focusing back on Twilight. "Hey Twilight, if you wanna talk we're all ears." She said looking at Twilight with slight concern while pointing a thumb to Adagio. The siren looked at the two confused. She then caught on when Sunset pointed her head toward Twilight. "Oh, yeah, friendship is magic." Adagio said with a confused smile. Friendship with someone other than her family was still vastly new to her. It hit home when Sunset sighed lowering her eye lids. "Oh my." A soft voice called out. The girls all looked to see Fluttershy walking toward them from across the street. Her hand was over her mouth. Instead of her the white shirt and green mini-skirt the pinked haired girl was wearing a teal dress with several pink butterflies on it held together with a pink band wrapped around her waist. Her boots were replaced with short heels and pink lacings. "Are you girls okay?" "Just fine, Fluttershy." Sunset answered taking the girls hand. She looked over Fluttershy's new clothing with a raised eyebrow. "What's with the new look?" "Oh...I-I just wanted to go for a...um summer look." Fluttershy stuttered touching her fingers together a blush coming across her face. She then looked over to the panting form of Hikari and gasped when she saw that Lora was hanging out. The elder Elias had puffed cheeks and was turning different shades of green. "Little Lora!" "My tummy." Lora moaned. "Poor thing." Fluttershy said gently rubbing Lora's back. "Sorry about that, Lora." Hikari said. "What's wrong with her?" Adagio asked. "Lora, has really bad motion sickness." Hikari said. "I just need the world to stop mov- *glurp*" Lora held a hand to her puffed cheeks. "Let's get you inside. I think Rarity got here before me." Fluttershy said. She looked to find Akiko already at Pinkie Pie's door. She had a wide grin on her face as she began pressing on the door bell repeatedly. "Aki, cut it out!" Hikari called with a sigh marching toward the house. The girls following behind her. "Vecy, I've got a surprise for you!" Akiko called as she kept ringing the doorbell. Hikari rolled her eyes and delivered a chop to Akiko's head. "Cut it out!" Hikari said, "We're guest here and we don't want to give a bad im-" The door suddenly swung open with an annoyed girl on the other end. She had short ashy hair and piercing yellow eyes. Age wise Hikari pegged her to at least be twenty years old. She had on a plain white t-shirt and shorts. "...pression." Hikari lingered on the word. Staring at the girl before going stiff and nervously laughed. "Um hi I'm Susan Hikari and this is..." "I watch T.V. I know who you two are." She answered. "Hey Limestone." Sunset said, "Is Rarity here?" "She's in the living room with him." Limestone Pie said with a hiss. "Vecy! Big Sis is here." Akiko began skipping inside. "Thank you so much for taking care of my-" Hikari was cut off when Limestone held up a piece of paper in her face. "Um...what's this?" "When my sister brought the free loader. They consumed an abnormal amount of food. This is the bill for his half." Limestone said blankly. Hikari took the paper and her eyes nearly flew out of her head. Sunset and the others looked over Hikari's shoulder and they copied her. "Three hundred dollars!" They all shouted at once. "Limestone, this is worse than the time you made us pay for the sleep over!" Sunset said. "He said his siblings would pay for it." Limestone shrugged. "He's dead." Hikari said. Her eye was twitching as she marched inside. The girls gave her a good distance while also looking at Limestone Pie with disapproving eyes. "Can't you let this go, Limestone?" Fluttershy asked. "You still haven't payed me for letting your birds run loose in the house." Limestone said. "Guess that's a no." Adagio deadpanned as she followed after Hikari, who was on a warpath. Sunset sighed following after her. She could get Pinkie Pie to call off her older sister later. Maybe even Maud or Marble could help too. The Pie sisters could normally calm Limestone down when she went after money. Though she hated to admit, but constantly billing people was the best way to keep their house from getting destroyed, especially with Pinkie Pie around. Though she didn't have time to keep thinking when she found Akiko and Hikari standing motionless in the entrance to Pinkie's living room. "Akiko, Hikari?" "Aki?" Adagio asked cocking her head in confusion. The siren's eyes then widened when she caught sight of something surprising. "Hey what's going onnnnnn." Twilight's jaw dropped as she stared at unbelievable scene. Fluttershy had her hands cupped over her mouth her cheeks getting red. Sunset then caught the sight and she had to repress a scream. Hikari and Akiko looked like malfunctioning robots as their eyes twitched. In front of them was the living room which was full of various boxes that had the same logos that were on the vans. But that wasn't what had all their attention. On the couch Vector was lying shirtless with Rarity sitting on top of him. His hand was on her rear and both were blushing. They looked at the group with wide eyes. "This isn't what it looks like!" Rarity shouted. "Hikari, Akiko, I-I-I can explain this!" Vector stammered out looking at his big sisters in fear. Mothra flew out of Hikari's bag with Lora on her back. The elder Elias cast an evil grin through her green face. "Your in *glurp* trouble." "Shut it you little imp!" Vector hissed. "Hikari, this is just a bad dream, right?" Akiko asked. The room fell silent when she started talking, "I mean, Rarity, wouldn't try doing something naughty with my little Boopy right in front of me. Because she knows I'd destroy her, right?" "It has to be a dream, Aki." Hikari said making Vector cower in fear as she stared at him, "Because I know Vector wouldn't do something so stupid while I'm around. Otherwise he wouldn't live to see tomorrow." They started laughing uncontrollably as they stared at Vector and Rarity. The two started to shake as it looked as though Hikari and Akiko were glowing. Akiko was cracking her knuckles while Hikari's fingers were twitching. "So if I'm dreaming it won't matter if kill, Rarity?" Akiko said. "Of course not, but I'm the one whose dreaming. So it really won't matter if I kill, Vector." Hikari said. "They've gone full big sister mode." Adagio said. "What does that mean?" Sunset asked. "That the nerd and the air head are dead." Adagio deadpanned. Vector and Rarity gulped as his elder sisters walked forward laughing like mad women. _____________________________________________________________________________________ "Why does it feel like I just missed something?" Kubo asked. "Like what?" Moll asked. "Don't know it just feels like something happened." Kubo said. Kubo was riding through outskirts of the town with Mothra and Moll clinging to his back. Having left the strangeness of the beach behind he was now hoping to at least meet with the rest of the team to discuss their plan. Though he would have rather have kept searching the beach to find answers he at least needed to let the others know what was going on. Which was why he was heading to Pinkie's house. Keeping Mothra and Moll on his back was best to keep wandering eyes from looking at them. He would rather have people thinking he had a moth back pack and a doll than a miniature giant monster lurking around their city. Moll shrugged her shoulders in response focusing on navigation. She could sense Lora and another mini-Mothra a few miles ahead. Although when she tried communicating with her sister Lora's only response were groans and hints of snickering. Making her more confused. "I guess we'll find out soon enough. Although I can't help but wonder why Lora won't respond." Kubo revved up his bike and continued to drive past the random houses and trees that made up the town. Kubo was surprised at how natural this town was and how little man made structures there were other than the small city. It felt quiet and calm, something he didn't mind. In fact he would rather have it stay this way, peaceful nice people without to much to care about. And the idea of Midnight and Kuro coming to this place made Kubo want to protect it. He clenched his fist tight around the handle bars as the image of those two came into his mind. His thoughts were suddenly cut off when he heard a honk. When he looked over his shoulder he spotted a familiar black car. Through the window he spotted hair that looked like a star night sky with a crystal clear smiling face greeting him. The other head was slightly bored though when she looked at him she had a small smile. The back window of the car rolled down and a happy voice called out. "Hi, Big Bro!" Sonata called waving her arms with a cheery smile. Kubo smiled and moved to the side of the rode allowing the black car to drive beside him. Luna smiled at him as she rolled down her window. "Good morning, Kubo." "Hey, can I ride with you again?" Aria asked. The purple haired siren leaned forward with wide eyes full of hope and a giddy smile that was rare to see on her. Before Kubo respond Luna answered for him with a sigh and eye roll, "I don't see an extra helmet anywhere." Aria groaned falling back into the seat rolling her eyes while snickering could be heard from the back seat. "Aria got in trouble! Aria got in trouble!" Sonata giggled making Aria growl in response. "Shut it kelp for brains!" "Could we please not yell or talk?" A moaning voice asked. Kubo looked to see that in the back seat with Sonata was Celestia. In the short time he had know this woman she always seemed elegant. She held herself high with dignified authority yet at the same time she was approachable giving a motherly glow. Much like Miki, but without the craziness. "I think my head is splitting." This Celestia didn't resemble that woman at all. Her hair was ruffled and hanging around her baggy eyes. The pants suit and high-heels were replaced with a white t-shirt that had a sun in the center and jeans. An ice pack was placed on her head she groaned with green cheeks. "I told you to stay at your home and rest that hangover." Luna said. "I had to see my little Sunny! She said she was going to Pinkie Pie's home so I'm going to see her! And what did I say about talking?!" Celestia shouted rubbing her temples. "Is there anything else I can do for you? Your highness." Luna asked rolling her eyes. "Try driving smoother." Celestia said before leaning her head back. Sonata began softly patting the woman. Luna groaned grinding her teeth as she tightened her grip on the wheel. Kubo sheepishly smiled and chuckled continuing to drive alongside her. Luna kept grinding her teeth before seeing a fork in the road coming up. A small smile forming across her face as she stepped on the gas. "Which way?" Kubo asked. "I'd go left then take a right at the next light. It's a bit longer, but the other way is full of speed bumps. Wouldn't want you to get knocked off, little Moll." Luna said with a smile. Though it was also very devious as well when the vice-principal flipped the signal to go right. "Luna! DON'T. YOU. DARE!" Celestia hissed leaning forward. "Why dear sister, I have no clue what you're talking about." Luna said. She began pressing down harder on the gas the car was speeding. She stared snickering as she held the wheel tightly before making a sharp right turn. Kubo watched Luna drive off hitting the first speed bump sending the car into the air. He could have sworn he heard Celestia shouting something very out of character for someone like her. He was left staring at them with a smile and small chuckle. "Those two are quite the pair." Moll and Mothra nodded their heads in agreement. With that Kubo drove off in the direction that Luna pointed out. Luckily it didn't take long for him to find the turn that lead to Pinkie Pie's house. To his surprise he didn't see Luna's car. "Didn't she take the fast way?" Kubo looked at the house then to his phone finding that the picture Hikari sent to him matched. But when he looked at the window he noticed a strange green stain that made him raise an eyebrow. He looked at the picture then back to the house scratching his head. "Earth to Kubo." A voice called from behind. A paper ball hit Kubo from the back of the head. He turned to find Bone Crusher leaning against the red van they rented. "Finally he notices." "How long have you been there?" Kubo asked tapping Bone Crusher's fist with his own. "Just got here, but I was calling your name when I was rolling up." Bone Crusher said, "Dude you would not believe this weird car we ran into. It kept going back and forth over speed bumps." "Kubo do you think that was..." Before Moll could finish talking Luna's car made it's way toward the house. Bone Crusher started nudging Kubo's arm, "Dude that's the car." Luna pulled up in front of them stepping out of her car with a satisfied smile on her face. Kubo now noticed that she was wearing a black t-shirt and skinny jeans a moon necklace hung around her neck. Behind her Aria came out instead of her normal tight clothing the siren was in a loose black top that showed off her midriff, low hanging jeans, the stars in her hair were gone and her pigtails were held up by black strings. Sonata came out prancing with a smile on her face the young siren was wearing a blue sundress with red bracelets on each of her wrist. Without a second thought she raced toward Kubo wrapping her arms around Kubo's waist. She giggled burying her head into his chest. "Hi, Big Bro!" "You already said that doofus." Aria said rolling her eyes. "Well I'm saying it again so there." Sonata stuck her tongue out at her cousin. She then looked to Kubo with a smile, "So how do I look?" Kubo laughed patting her on the head and ruffling her hair. "Pretty cute," He looked to Aria as she approached them Kubo could spot the look of jealousy she was trying to hide, "Both of you. How's your arm by the way, Aria?" He pat Aria on the head ruffling her hair while looking at her broken arm. A squeak came out of her throat as her face became red. "T-Thanks and it's feeling better." "Auntie Luna let us borrow some of her old clothes!" Sonata said. She happily giggled as Kubo kept ruffling her hair. "Hey!" Moll suddenly jumped onto Kubo's shoulder her cheeks puffed, "I'm cute too, where's my head pat!" "Fine." Kubo sighed softly patting Moll on the head. She bobbed her head with a happy smile. "Luna, you're such a jerk!" A groaning yell came from the car. Celestia stepped out holding her head. "You ran over those speed bumps six times." "Whoops my bad." Luna said while smiling. Bone Crusher quickly raced to her while keeping a cool stride and flashing his teeth. He placed her arm around his neck. "Don't worry I'll help keep you steady. A sunny princess such as yourself shouldn't have to wobble like that." He spoke in a cool tone that made Celestia blush. "Never in a million years should that work." Kubo said. "If my older sister wasn't on the verge of becoming a crazy cat woman it wouldn't." Luna stated, "By the way where are Miss Dash and Miss Jack. I figured they would have wanted to see their friends." "They're here." Bone Crusher stated carrying, "Girls, come out already." The door to the van opened revealing Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Though it was clear something was wrong with them as they had strange looks. They're eyes were wide as they walked in sync. Moans came out of their mouths as if they were members of the walking dead. "What's up with them?" Kubo asked. "No clue, they've been like that since I woke up." Bone Crusher said rubbing his chin. "They look like someone caught them making out." Aria said. Suddenly Rainbow Dash came to life and rushed Aria. "What did Apple Bloom show you? It's photoshop it's all photoshop!" "Scootaloo was just writing weird stories about us nothing else." Applejack joined in shaking the siren. Aria moaned as her head was jerked about by the two girls. Bone Crusher, Kubo, Celestia, Luna, and Sonata watched with raised eye brows. "Questions for later?" Kubo asked. "Yep." They all said at once. With that Kubo shrugged walking to Pinkie's door. He still was wondering what the stain on the window was, but put it off considering how crazy the last few minutes had been. He rang the doorbell only for there to be no answer. He cocked his head in confusion. "No one home?" Sonata asked. "They should have known we were coming." Luna said stepping up next to Kubo. She rang the doorbell several times before knocking on the door. "Hello, Miss Pie? Are you home?" Bone Crusher closed his eyes listening to the environment. He could pick up the sound of foot steps in the house and the sound of muffled. Screaming? "Hey guys something is going on in there." As soon as he said that the door swung open and Vector came out screaming. "Gang way!" Luna was shocked and caught off guard unable to move. Vector was moving so fast that he didn't have time to stop. With a grunt the two crashed into each other falling flat on the ground. "Why is it always me?" Luna groaned looking at Vector in annoyance as he hovered on top of her. Though she did blush when she realized he didn't have a shirt on. "Just what do you think you're doing, Vector?" A hiss came from the door. A hand came out gripping the frame. Hikari stepped out her eye twitching with a crazed smile. "Are you really doing something perverted again?" "Hikari, for the love of all that is decent listen to me!" Vector cried. Hikari just snarled grabbing Vector's face and lifting him into the air. Each of her fingers popped as she balled her free hand into a fist. Vector cried as he was lifted into the air his legs kicking as he looked to Kubo and Bone Crusher in desperation. "Guys a little help here!" He was stunned to see Kubo and Bone Crusher ignoring the scene like it was a bad television special as they walked inside. "I don't know what you did, Vec, but you probably deserve it." Kubo said. "Just go limp bro it won't hurt as much." Bone Crusher said. "Guys!" Vector cried out. Though they were quickly muffled as Hikari applied pressure to his face. He screamed out in horror as Hikari started punching him. Inside Kubo and Bone Crusher were walking around the house noticing the large amount of boxes. Sonata had wide eyes of amazement while Aria whistled. Luna was amazed that so much was needed for one person and Celestia stopped rubbing her head to stare at them. Even Applejack and Rainbow Dash broke from their daze to stare. Though they were also cut off guard by the sight of an annoyed woman. "Oh hi my name's..." Kubo was cut off when the girl held up a piece of paper to his face. "I know who you are here's the bill for damages." Bone Crusher looked over Kubo's shoulder to see the bill which caused their eyes to pop out of their heads. They could barley breath as they looked at paper that had a one and an endless amount of zeros. Sonata gasped as well pulling out a bottle of water from somewhere to perform an overly dramatic spit take all over an annoyed Aria. Luna and Celestia were slack jawed from the bill. "For plum sake, Limestone, can't ya go a day without chargin someone?" Applejack said having finally broken out of her stump. "Yeah, didn't Maud tell you to cut it out?" Rainbow said raising an eyebrow and getting into the Pie sisters' face. "Don't you two owe us a window?" Limestone asked while looking at her fingernails. The girls grew pale and backed away kicking the ground not making eye contact with Limestone. "What happened here?" Celestia asked. "Let's see, there was their free loader of a brother and then..." Limestone was cut off by a high pitched scream and the sound of something crashing, "...that." The group rushed to the source of the screaming that was soon followed by shouting and a deranged woman laughing. When they reached the kitchen everyone except Kubo and Bone Crusher, who both muttered of course, were shocked to find Akiko pacing toward a cowering Rarity. She hid behind a wooden table her hair raised and her teeth chattering. Sunset, Twilight, and Fluttershy were wrapped around Akiko's arms, legs, and waist struggling to slow her down. "Please tell me she's slowing down!" Fluttershy groaned as she was dragged along the ground due to holding Akiko's legs. "Why am I holding her back?!" Twilight called her feet skidding across the floor as she clung to Akiko's waist. "Adagio, a little help would be nice!" Sunset called grinding her teeth as she held onto Akiko's left arm trying to keep the woman still. Adagio was leaning against the wall watching the scene with slightly amused eyes, "Hey, I'm not the one who decided to get freaky with the nerd." That made Akiko growl and pick up her pace taking the girls along for the ride. Rarity yelped holding a wooden chair toward Akiko making the scene look like something out of a circus act. "Could we please not get her angrier!" Rarity looked at Akiko with serious eyes as she gulped gripping the chair tighter, "Now see here, Ms. Akiko, there has been a serious misunderstanding. So please listen to me before I..." Akiko reached out and grabbed the chair Rarity was using to defend herself with. She used very little effort to lift both the chair and Rarity into the air. She growled as Rarity nervously laughed, "Before I tell you how much I respect you as role model." "You die now." Akiko growled. "What's go on?!" Kubo shouted. Everyone turned to see the shocked group standing although Akiko quickly cast it off and went back to glaring at her prey. Rarity looked at the group as she clung to the her chair like she was hanging to a cliff edge and mouthed the words help me. "Kubo!" Adagio's face lit up as she raced toward him wrapping him a hug. "Why is Cap going crazy?" Bone Crusher asked. "Huh? Oh, we caught Rarity trying to give Vector a lap dance." Adagio said. Akiko growled her eyes practically burning a hole through Rarity, "You die slowly." "Adagio!" Sunset growled glaring at the siren. "Fine, fine, allegedly gave Vector a lap dance." Adagio said rolling her eyes, "Now Akiko and Hikari are trying to kill them." "Whelp that explains what happened outside." Kubo said. "Vector got a free lap dance. He get's all the luck." Bone Crusher said. "Could you guys please talk her down? I don't think we can hold her back anymore." Sunset begged. "We were her holding her back?!" Twilight said. "Ladies stand back things could get ugly." Kubo said as he set Sonata down. "I'm cheering for you, Bro." Bone Crusher said though he was leading the girls away. "Where are you going?!" Kubo shouted. "Someone has to lead these ladies to safety." Bone Crusher said. Kubo grumbled as we walked toward Akiko letting Sunset, Twilight, and Fluttershy runoff behind him. He gulped as he walked toward his captain, who was busy pulling Rarity toward her. "Cap, you think you could calm down, just a little?" Akiko turned her head and looked at Kubo with a crazed smile, "Don't worry, little private, this all just a dream. So it won't matter if I snap Rarity in two." "Do I get a say in this?" Rarity asked. Akiko responded with a growl as she turned to the girl. Rarity yelped clinging to the chair tightly her teeth chattering. Akiko started pulling the purple haired girl closer to her as her neck started to crack. "What's going on?" A voice called out. A girl with dull eyes and a blank stare stood at the entrance to the kitchen. She was holding a black t-shirt in her hands and was cocking her head. Sunset gulped at the sight of her, Limestone Pie was one thing, but Maud Pie was a another. She was normally easy going and let the her friends get away with a lot. Although a fight breaking out in the middle of her kitchen could make the emotionless Pie sister put her foot down. According to Pinkie, Maud angry was never something anyone wanted to see. "Maud, look before you say anything let me explain." Sunset said holding her hands up. "What are you talking about, Sunset? Maud took Marble out shopping. It's me." Sunset took another look at the person standing in front of her. She had the same face as Maud and even the same stare. Her hair was even straight, but it was much longer and pink. Sunset's eyes started to widen. "Pinkie?!" …………. A few minutes later ………….. Everyone was sitting in the living room where a deflated Pinkie Pie stood in front of them with a swollen faced Vector and a sighing Rarity. Limestone was leaning against one of the stacks of boxes. Moll and Lora sat still on the television with the two mini-Mothras. "So let me get this straight." Rainbow said, "After the guys in the vans came here you opened one the boxes and drank this stuff?" She held up a black can that had a green dragon that was coiled around a tiger. It was labeled Rush. Pinkie nodded her head though with less enthusiasm as usual. "Then you had a sugar rush and spilled what was left of it on Vector." Twilight said. "Pretty much." Pinkie shook her head. "So you took Vector's shirt off to find a new one." Fluttershy said. Pinkie nodded her head. "Then when you ran off you accidently pushed Rarity into Vector." Adagio finished. "Exactly!" Vector and Rarity said at the same time. "Oh Vecy, why didn't you just say it was an accident?" Akiko squealed as jumped onto Vector placing him in a tight hug. "You must have not heard over my screams of pain." Vector said shooting a glare at Hikari. She laughed rubbing the back of her head with red cheeks. On the mantel Moll, who was doing her best to be a doll, looked to Lora her eyes glowing, 'Sister, couldn't you have resolved this by reading their thoughts?' 'Yes, but watching Vector get in trouble was too much fun.' Lora said trying not to snicker considering Limestone was looking at them. Hikari sighed taking a statue in her hands, "Vector, I'm sorry for freaking out and I hope this helps makes amends." She held up the platinum Froppy statue with an honest smile. Vector broke out of Akiko's grip and looked at the figure with wide eyes a smile forming on his face. "You didn't sell it?!" "You'll get it when you finish the aura engine." He wrapped Hikari in a tight hug, "Hikari, you're the best big sister in the world!" Vector shouted squeezing her tightly. Hikari giggled lightly patting Vector on the back as she returned the hug. Akiko held her heart as a distraught frown came across her face. "Alright, alright, now could you please put your shirt on?" Hikari asked. "Oh yeah right. Pinkie shirt and Rush." Vector said snapping his fingers. "OK." Pinkie said giving Vector his black t-shirt and a can of Rush. Sunset could have sworn she heard a disappointed sigh from behind. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed Fluttershy had slightly red cheeks. Her normally shy friend was playing with her hair and glancing at Vector. When she looked at him Sunset had to admit she was impressed with his body. Vector had pretty tight core with hints of a developing six pack, then there were his lean arms which reminded her of Big Mac's. She couldn't help but wonder if this was the result of being around the G-team all the time. He was pretty impressive, but why was Fluttershy taking an interest in him? Then there was the other thought on her mind that Aria blurted out, "Okay, all this brother sister bonding is great. But could someone explain to me how drinking this Rush stuff turned Pinkie into well that." The siren pointed to the slow moving Pinkie, who casually blinked at the group. "I feel fine." Pinkie slowly said. "No clue this stuff just keeps me energized," Vector said as he placed his shirt on and popped open a can. He flung his hand back and less than a second the can started to crinkle. "AH! THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF! COME ON PINKIE I NEED AN ASSISTANT!" Vector's hair was standing on edge and Sunset could have sworn his eyes were on fire. He soon became a blur as he grabbed a large amount boxes taking them out of the room. The sound of metal hitting metal and drills could be heard. Pinkie followed after him albeit at a snail's pace leaving the group shocked. Twilight held up a can of rush adjusting her glasses. "What's in this stuff?" When she studied the can the only thing on the ingredients label left her confused, " 'What are you a cop', Um is this stuff legal?" "Not in this hemisphere." Bone Crusher said clearing his throat and taking the can from Twilight. "I'm sorry, are you saying your younger brother gave my sister an illegal substance?" Limestone asked with a raised eyebrow. Bone Crusher had wide eyes as he looked at Limestone, "I think Vector's calling me." He ran out of the room with Akiko trailing behind him holding a brown paper bag. "Vecy your favorite sister made you a sandwich and I bought you some comics. Can't I get hug?" Limestone chased after them holding a piece of paper and a pen. Twilight adjusted her glasses and following after them, "Hey you think Vector would mind if I watched him work? This aura engine sounds really fascinating." "He won't notice just make sure to stay a few feet back." Hikari said with a smile. "PINKIE BLOW TORCH!" Vector shouted. "More like a hundred feet back." Spike said following after Twilight. Rainbow stretched her legs and going the same direction. Applejack looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "And jus where are you goin?" "To make sure Pinkie doesn't burn down the house." Rainbow replied. "Ya sure it's not because a certain pilot went that way, Dash Bow?" Applejack said. Rainbow's face became red as she glared at Applejack. The farmer had a coy smile as Rainbow Dash stomped toward her. But before the two could start fighting Pinkie walked past them digging through one of the various boxes. When she pulled out the blow the torch a shiver went down their spines. "I wonder how this thing works?" She asked holding the fire starter in various directions that was making Rainbow and Applejack's hearts stop. Applejack quickly rose up with Rainbow, "Let's make sure she doesn't burn the house down." With that the girls raced after Pinkie Pie calling for her to stop. Fluttershy took a shell shocked Rarity with her to the kitchen to make tea for the group. That left Kubo and Hikari alone with Sunset, the sirens, Celestia, and Luna. Moll and Lora stretched now that Limestone had finally left and the mini-Mothras looked at each other before fusing together in a brief flash of light. With a soft chirp the slightly larger moth spread it's wings. "I agree, Mothra, I thought that woman would never leave." Lora said. "Think of it as a game, Lora." Moll said rubbing her cheeks, "One that leaves you with really sore cheeks." "You two can hide in here and relax a little." Hikari carefully placed the Elias in her pockets. Moll had small pout due to being placed away from the group while Lora let out a calm sigh resting comfortably against Hikari. Sunset looked at them in wonder at how they interacted, at the same time wondering about her dream from the night before. Only for that thought to be cut short when Celestia tapped her on the shoulder. "Sunny, I was thinking maybe we could spend some time together. Go see a movie?" Celestia said though it clear she was still hung over. "Didn't you say she was grounded yesterday?" Luna asked with a raised eyebrow. "Lulu." Sunset moaned. "It's a light grounding." Celestia shot back. "And you wonder why she does so many crazy stunts." Luna said. Celestia rolled her eyes before looking at Sunset with a smile. She smiled at her adoptive mother before looking at Kubo who currently had the sirens talking to him. Sonata was hugging him from behind with a wide smile while Aria was doing her best to keep her uncaring face though it disappeared whenever Kubo started patting her head. Adagio was smiling at him and pointing toward the door. The elder siren looked at Sunset and smiled motioning toward the door. "Actually I was hoping, maybe, I could hangout with, Kubo." Sunset said. Kubo looked up surprised at the smiling face of Sunset then at the smiling faces of the sirens. Adagio started pulling on his arm getting him to move. "Uh, I was actually going to be heading out soon." "Can't we hang out together?" Sonata asked with a puppy dog face. "He's busy, Sonata." Aria said though it was clear she was disappointed. "Please, I never did get to thank you for saving me." Adagio said with pleading eyes. "Go on, Kubo, you can let your guard down just a little." Hikari said with a smile. "Alright, alright quit twisting my arm." Kubo said with a sighing smile. The sirens cheered and Sonata gripped him in a tight hug. Sunset smiled before looking to Celestia with pleading eyes. She sighed patting Sunset's head motioning for her to go. Sunset let out her own cheer and started conversing with Kubo. Celestia watched them with a sad smile on her face though Luna knocked her shoulder and Hikari smiled at the pair. "Don't worry he'll look out for her." Hikari said. "I trust that. I just wish we could spend time together." Celestia said with a sigh. "I've never seen Sunset take to someone that fast or the sirens. She's even doing the thing." Luna said. "The thing?" Hikari asked. "I've noticed something about our resident Equestrians when they're happy," Luna snickered pointing toward the group. Hikari had wide eyes as Sunset and the sirens were all swaying their hips with wide smiles. "They start wagging their tails. Sunset still holds some of her old traits from back home and it looks like the sirens do as well." "Does she do this often?" Lora asked sticking her head from Hikari's pocket. "Only if she's really excited," Celestia said, "Kubo really is something." "That's why he's my best friend." Hikari said with a smile. ………………. Somewhere in the ocean …………….. The bull shark, one of the most dangerous animals in the ocean. Full of rage and power animals would tend to avoid this monster. All except for one. SKRREEEEOOONNKKKK Burning orange eyes appeared in front shark scaring the fish into a reverse course. Godzilla was snarling from pure annoyance as he looked around the dark depths of the ocean. Only finding the same thing sand and water. He sensed something the night before, now it was no where to be seen. Making him snarl his back spines glowing as blue vapor trailed from his maw. Loosing a trail wasn't new for him, but he still hated it. Especially when it was so close. It didn't sit well with him. He touched down on the sand looking through the dark depths for anything. The blood he picked up on earlier was gone spread throughout the ocean. The only creatures large enough in the ocean to catch his attention was the pod of whales he startled. They were moving fast and with cation as they hovered over the king. Although Godzilla had little intention of eating. Whale always left a bad taste in his mouth. He started to spread his focus else where, Godzilla closed his eyes concentrating. He could feel the water moving around him, he could hear the song of the whales, he could taste and smell the salt of the water. He was at one with nature and he started making out what was around. So far the area was blocking his attention making him snarl. This area wasn't like any other he'd been to. It seemed to breath with a strange aura like the strange humans he'd scene with his humans and Mothra. It didn't help that one of them felt just like one of his enemies. Suddenly he felt something different it was brief and only lasted for a moment. He felt a red aura flare to life before disappearing. This aura was familiar and he felt as though it was calling to him. It was close to where he had slept. Godzilla opened his eyes interest peaking. He would have moved in that direction if it wasn't for the distressed calls of the whale pod. He snapped his head up watching them scatter. They were frightened, but not because of him this time. He couldn't sense them, but he could feel the water churn as they swam around him. He was being called out by a new threat. His fingers popped as he turned his head looking to find the enemy. All he saw was the murky depths. Godzilla let out a loud roar as he started beating his tail down lifting his giant body off the ground. His instincts kicking in Godzilla kept a steady pace slowly chasing a target he couldn't see. Whatever was calling out to him would have to wait. This new threat was making his skin crawl. He felt as though he was being watched on all sides by something. He couldn't be more right further ahead was a threat that was eager to face him. Ganimes clicked his mandibles together as he swam through the water. Despite his size Ganimes was one the fastest sea kaiju alive aided by the murky depths of this water he was hidden. It also helped that he concealed his aura with the small amount of magic that his mistress lent him. The monstrous crab was a moving shadow in the darkness. Ready to strike at any moment. Which is why he was grumbling about his orders because he would rather fight right now and get Godzilla back for their last encounter. But Kamoebas wasn't going to allow that so making the monster king chase him was the plan for now. Until the signal was given to finally engage he was to move to an area that would keep the monster king from coming quickly. However he was at least going to lead Godzilla to where he wanted to go. The rock crab could smell the humans from miles away making his mouth foam. As the two kaiju engaged what was going to be an intense cat and mouse game another watched them. From the sand a green head rose up and Kamoebas let out a snickering roar. As he watched Godzilla disappear into the ocean once again. If Ganimes could go a day or two without killing then he could at least get Godzilla further out to sea leaving him alone to fulfil his mission. On a side note if Ganimes did act, the monster king would finally kill the annoying crab getting one thrown out of his side. Now he could at least focus on how to obtain these auras. He could feel their powers growing by the minute. It wouldn't be much longer until they were ripe then he would strike hard and fast. With only one minor obstacle getting in his way. The young moth would cause a minor inference, but the "training" he received from Battra made him adept in facing magic attacks. His strength was greater than hers by a large margin. She would be little trouble if he ran into her. What did concern him was this red aura. If this being interfered he'd have to adjust his plans. Bubbles flowed from his mouth as he let out a sigh he slowly made his way to the surface. Breaking the surface Kamoebas squinted from the sun, the power his mistress lent him kept his presence hidden. The only thing that would notice him now would be the small animals scurrying to get away from him. Making his way to the mountains Kamoebas would use the rocks to keep him hidden until it was time to act. He'd just rest and focus his mind on the mission. Collect the humans for the mistress. Then he was to...he was to. 'Go crazy.' Midnight's words echoed in his head several times. The turtle clenched his fist with a small sigh. Destroying was more for Ganimes. Randomly attacking didn't feel right. Kamoebas began shaking his head. Just focus on the mission that's all he should do. The word of Midnight was absolute. She was his savior and he was to be her sword. ……………. Adagio's Apartment ………….. "Fighting evil by moonlight! Wining love by Daylight! Never running from a real fight! She is one name Sailor Moll!~" Moll happily sang. The younger Elias was wearing her sailor scout uniform and her blue wig. She spun on the coffee table with a happy smile. She stopped and posed to her audience of Kubo, Hikari, and Sunset, who was happily cuddling Mothra. They all clapped making Moll's smile as a much larger figure jumped from the shadows. "And her partner Sailor Sonata!" The younger siren was in a green uniform and striking what she considered karate poses. Adding her own sound effects with them as she started waving her hands around. Sonata and Moll shared a smile before a thought occurred to them. Moll stomped her foot on the ground her cheeks puffing, "Lora, you promised!" Lora groaned as she made her way toward her sister. Her normal pony tail was replaced with pigtails, a gold tiara sat on her head, she wore a blue and red uniform. With a sigh she placed a hand over her forehead and pointed another toward the group. She spoke with very little enthusiasm, "In the name of the kaiju, we will punish you." "Your turn, Aria." Sonata called. The purple haired siren stepped out and, much to Sonata's disappointment, wasn't wearing a uniform. She was sucking on a popsicle looking at her younger cousin annoyed. "I told you I wasn't playing dress up, kelp for brains." "Boo!" Sonata and Moll shouted. Aria rolled her eyes clicking her tongue. Suddenly Adagio stepped into the living room clearing her throat. She held several plates on her arms. "Could you two go five seconds without fighting?" Aria rolled her eyes biting down on her popsicle and looked away from Adagio. Sonata complied sitting down and happily tapped the table with her fingers. Adagio looked to Aria though her cousin was clearly refusing to look in her direction as she sat on the floor. Something Kubo was picking up on as Adagio began setting down plates. "You need some help, Adagio?" Hikari asked. "No, I've got it. Besides your our guest." Adagio said with a smile. The plates were a variety of food. Burgers, fries, fried fish that was making Sonata drool, and a salad bowl. Once the plates were down Adagio ran back to the kitchen bringing back cups. She smiled setting them down in front of the group before pouring in several different flavors of milkshake. "This looks amazing! You really made this?" Sunset asked. "I've been making food for your friends for months." Adagio stated, "I'm just surprised the Cakes let me take all this after I made it." "They really like you that's why." Sunset said with a smile. "Enough talk let's eat!" Sonata said. Kubo, Hikari, Moll, and Lora clapped their hands together. The Equestrians present looked at each other before smiling and copying the action. "Itadakimasu!" Once that was said the small group quickly dove into the food. Sonata was like a vacuum cleaner when it came to her food. Sunset was trying not to squirt milkshake from her nose when she saw Moll happily bouncing. The young Elias had wide eyes of an instant sugar rush from the small amount shake Kubo had given her. Lora was trying to keep her joy masked under a proper demeaner as she drank from Hikari's cup. Though her flushed cheeks and tapping foot was a dead give away. Mothra chirped looking at Sunset opening her mouth. The former unicorn complied by dropping a piece of lettuce into the kaiju's mouth. With a coo Mothra nuzzled Sunset her antenna glowing. "She's taking a real shine to you." Hikari said. Sunset couldn't help but beam at that. She always did want to see a kaiju up close and talk to Susan Hikari. Now in the past 48 hours she'd done both, even better she's holding one of the world's most infamous kaiju as if she were a puppy. "Yeah she even healed my bruise." Sunset said. "For realizes?" Sonata said with wide eyes and a full mouth. She looked to Aria partially spitting out some of her food, "Aria, maybe she can fix your arm." Adagio looked to her cousin with a small smile. Aria clicked her tongue looking away from Adagio and took an aggressive bite from her food. "Whatever." "Seriously?" Adagio asked with a small glare. Kubo looked at the two sirens sensing the tension in the air. Sonata looked down a frown crossing her face as she knew the screaming match that was about to take place. Sunset and Hikari looked to each other both ready to say something to calm the situation. Moll was holding her hands uncomfortably squirming while Lora sighed calmly taking a sip of the shake. "Unless your heart is freed from it's confliction, Mothra will not come near you." The elder Elias spoke. "Mind telling me what's going on?" Kubo asked. "Nothing, Adagio, is just being selfish. Again." Aria said looking at the elder siren with a glare. "Selfish! Trying to keep my family safe is selfish!?" Adagio shouted. "You do this all by yourself. Just leavening me and Sonata behind!" "So you won't die!" "And if you die?! What then?!" Aria asked. Her eyes had a small shine in them that made Adagio grit her teeth. "Oh, I get it now." Kubo said softly. He made his way to the sirens gently patting their backs. He had a small smile as he sat in between them touching his scar. Adagio inadvertently mimicked him touching the scar on her neck. "I get it, Adagio, wanting to protect the people you care the most about. That urge makes you do some pretty crazy things. Hikari's hit me over the head enough times to know that." "And he still hasn't learned his lesson," Hikari said with a teasing smile before looking to Adagio, "Adagio, what you're doing is honorable, but you should always take into account the feelings of others. Imagine how your family would feel if you died." Adagio let her head slump a sad sigh coming from her lips. Aria looked at Hikari with a smile of thanks. Though it disappeared when Kubo looked at her, "Aria you have to know that Adagio was just trying to protect you. Even if it meant getting hurt herself." He pat both of their heads making the sirens blush, "You two are family and a family shouldn't hold grudges. They should always stay together." "Yeah, we should stick together," Sonata said with pleading eyes as she looked to Aria and Adagio, "So please don't be mad anymore and please don't die." Aria looked to Adagio with sad eyes as she grit her teeth. Adagio did the same thing looking at her younger cousin with watery eyes. Kubo happily moved out of the way as they embraced each other. Aria placed her head into Adagio's shoulder. Sunset caught the sound of small sniffles as Adagio gently pat Aria's head. Mothra chirped and jumped from Sunset's arms and flew above the sirens. Aria pulled away clearing her throat and rubbing her eyes, "Sorry about that." "Kubo and I have conversations like these every know and then. So it's no big deal." Hikari said. Aria then looked to Sunset with hard eyes, "Tell anyone about this and your dead." Sunset felt a bead of sweat going down her face. She had a nervous laugh. Aria then looked away blowing wind from her nose. Sunset let out an uncomfortable groan slumping her head. Sonata tapped her shoulder with a happy smile. "Hey, Aria really likes you, Sunset." She whispered. "It doesn't seem like it." Sunset said. "Are you kidding? Normally she would of have beaten you to a pulp for just setting foot in our house. Now she's only giving you death threats and the stink eye. That's progress!" "It is?" Sunset asked. When she looked at Aria the siren was snarling at her while making a slashing motion across her throat. "For Aria, yes." Sonata said. "Woah!" Adagio suddenly said as Mothra landed in between her and Aria. Mothra started staring at Aria's cast with interest as her antenna started twitching. They began to glow with her wings that made anyone who wasn't an Elias shield their eyes. Scales began to peal off her wings and gently touched Aria's broken arm. The cast began to glow as Aria slightly opened her eyes and they widened in amazement. Once the glow died down the girls were left staring in amazement when Aria started moving her arm. She pulled it from the sling and with a smile started moving her arm around. "It doesn't hurt when I move it." Aria said with a laugh. "I wouldn't..." Moll was about to say something before a loud crack silenced everyone. Aria had watery eyes as a small squeal came out of her throat. "....go too far." "Mothra can't fully heal wounds." Lora said, "Your arm has only been partially mended. The same goes for you Sunset your rib cage is still damaged. So don't over do it!" She looked at Aria and Sunset with serious eyes causing the former Equestrians to stand up straight. "Yes ma'am!" They said at once saluting the small woman. Suddenly a shock of pain went through them as they heard a popping sounds from the girls. Aria clutched her arm and Sunset held her ribs as they let out collective moans. "Idiots." Lora said with an annoyed sigh. "Don't be rude, Lora." Hikari said. "Um...is there a way to fully heal someone." Sonata leaned to Hikari and Lora. The younger siren motioned her head toward Adagio. Hikari offered a small smile though it had hints of sadness, "Unfortunately no, even mending bones is tough for her. So healing something like a scar is out of the question." "Oh I see." Sonata said slumping her shoulders. "Well Godzilla could do it." Moll stated sipping the milk shake. Hikari, Kubo, and Lora looked at her in shock before Lora sighed and jumped on her little sister. Moll started screaming as Lora pulled on her nose with a look of annoyance. The Equestrians simply had a look of confusion as they looked at Kubo and Hikari. "Well he did heal Mothra and Lora by accident." Kubo said. "Emphasis on accident," Hikari said looking at the girls, "Mothra drank Godzilla's blood when she was a larva changing her DNA. Lora on the other hand was seriously injured by Midnight, she was so close to death that we took Godzilla's blood out of desperation. We were very lucky that it worked. Miki and I are still running test to see if it's safe for humans. So far everything has come off as a solid negative." "Which is why we didn't suggest it!" Lora shouted as she pulled harder on Moll's nose. "But they technically aren't human, so I thought it was a good idea! Lora your gonna rip my nose off!" Moll whined. Lora suddenly stopped pulling on her sister's nose blinking and humming as she mulled the thought over. Kubo looked at them rubbing his chin Hikari doing the same as she hummed. However, Adagio stuck her tongue making a gaging noise. "Gross drinking blood! I'd rather be in a body cast." Adagio shuttered. "Well that settles it," Kubo said grabbing another burger, "now let's go back to eating!" "Yeah!" The girls shouted. The mini party quickly resumed with Sonata and Moll dancing around posing with each other. Hikari accommodated them by playing Sailor Moon for them on her laptop. Aria and Adagio were talking with each other with smiles. Although when Sunset joined in Aria gave the former unicorn small sneers and the occasional noogie. Through the pain of the siren's knuckles drag across her head Sunset noticed the small smile Aria had. Adagio had her own smile watching the scene. Sunset took a glance around seeing Sonata happily watching Hikari's laptop with the Elias. Then there was Adagio who was casually eating and actually giving a laugh of joy, with the most cheerful smile she'd ever seen. Aria may have been giving her the worst headache of her life, but it was clear this was her way of being playful. Sunset started to giggle which soon turned into full scale laughter. ……………. A Few Hours Later …………….. Moll let out a small yawn as she rested her body against Sonata. Sonata lied against the floor letting out soft breaths while keeping Moll close to her like a teddy bear. The younger siblings giggled as they started to sleep. Adagio smiled at the sight as she placed Sonata's head on her lap. Sunset couldn't help but coo at the cute sight. Aria rolled her eyes putting on her best tough persona. Though it was clear she saw the sight as adorable. Kubo had a smile as he watched the girls. There was a small pressure on his shoulder and he noticed Hikari leaning her head against him with a smile. "You did a good job at defusing that situation. But I'm deducting points for that little speech, it was kind of corny." "Sorry, your better at coming up with stuff on the fly. With all the speeches you give me." Kubo said. "Because you're such a reckless idiot." Hikari jokingly said. "You do some pretty crazy things too." "Yes, but when have I gone to fight a monster by myself?" Kubo started whistling and looking away from his best friend. He then recalled what he was going to tell Hikari and the rest of his team. He handed her the recording of Godzilla as he looked to Hikari. He barely spoke above a whisper, "He's going east and chasing something. According to Mothra he could smell blood." "You think it's Midnight?" "Or the Seafood Platter." Kubo said. "Ganimes or even worse Kamoebas." Hikari said with a sigh, "What are you planning on doing." "Right now, I'm praying it's some random kaiju who swam the wrong way and got scared off by Godzilla." Kubo said, "I'm thinking about renting a motel room and waiting the Big Guy out." "Didn't you just give a speech about not doing things on your own?" Hikari said with annoyed eyes. "I'm not, Moll's coming too, and the minute he surfaces I'm calling you guys. So you better show up." Hikari smiled holding up her pinkie and interlocking it with Kubo's. He smiled at her before standing getting the attention of the girls. "Sorry ladies, but I've gotta make sure Godzilla doesn't terrify anyone." " Do you really have to go?" Sunset asked. "Yep, if someone other than me spots Godzilla this place will be a warzone." Kubo explained as he gently picked up the sleeping form of Moll. He looked to Adagio and smiled, "Thanks for the food." Without warning Adagio ran into Kubo pulling him into a tight hug. Her arms were tight as she buried her head into his shoulder, "Thanks for saving me, Big Bro." Kubo pulled back smiling at the elder siren. He looked to Aria giving her a nod and she returned it, "I can get another ride on your motorcycle right? I have two arms now so we can go full speed." "Point me to the biggest open field and I'll crack the engine open." Kubo said holding out his fist. Aria gleefully connected it with hers. "Can I see Godzilla when you get back?" Sunset asked. "He'll probably be mad, but I think I can bring his scaly butt to shore." Kubo smirked making Sunset eyes widen with glee. With that a he gave the sleeping Sonata a gentle pat on the head. The youngest siren had a smile cross her sleeping face. "Big...Bro." "I had fun." Kubo whispered to the sleeping siren. Kubo cracked his back starting to head out with Hikari following him. She trailed behind him with her arms cross and a happy smile on her. When he reached the door Hikari wrapped him in a tight hug. "Make sure you stay at the cheapest place possible." "Seriously?" Kubo moaned. "We're strapped for catch so the cheapest place. I'll tell Bone Crusher and have him send you some clothes. Also call me when you get there." Hikari said looking at him. "Fine, fine, I will." Kubo sighed hugging her back, "Tell Lora about this, but don't let the girls know." He waved to the girls all of them waved back with gleeful smiles. "I know they've already had it rough enough." Hikari whispered. Hikari smiled as he left the room only to turn back to find looks of disappointment. Lora in particular was shaking her head and drinking from her milkshake. The elder Elias sighed, "What a missed opportunity." "What are you talking about?" Hikari asked. "Aren't you two like a couple or something?" Aria asked instantly making Hikari red in the face. "Yeah why didn't you kiss goodbye? You two were holding each other pretty close." Adagio said. "And the way he looked at your chest last night." Sunset stated. "Kubo...Hikari...tree." Sonata muttered in her sleep while making a smooching noise with her lips. Hikari's face was getting redder the more the girls kept talking about her. The young scientist began stammering on her words as she covered her face. "We're not a couple! Kubo's just my friend! That's it just friends!" She started laughing to herself as she walked back to the couch. In a flash she grabbed a milkshake and began sucking it down to cool herself down. Though a small giggle from Lora caught her attention. "What is it?" "You do love him. Why else would you engage in an indirect kiss?" Lora asked. "Indirect kiss?" Sunset asked. "Oh it's one of those things I've seen in Sonata's anime things. It usually happens when the main character takes a sip from the same cup or straw as one of his girl friends." Adagio said. Hikari became redder as she looked at the straw in her mouth. Then to the shake Lora was happily sitting on. 'This was Kubo's.' She started to shake as a groan escaped her throat. Steam popped from her head as she fell back, nearly catapulting over the couch if Mothra hadn't flown in to catch her. "Is she going to be okay?" Sunset asked. "She'll be fine her love just needs to grow." Lora said looking at Hikari. The young scientist was resting on the couch with swirling eyes and groaning with a twitching smile. …………. Pinkie Pie's house …………. Luna was sitting on the couch taking a small sip of tea. She hadn't planned on spending the day at the home of one of her students, but Fluttershy insisted that she stay for tea, that and she didn't want to risk leaving Pinkie Pie alone with Vector. The odds seemed pretty high that she would burn the house down if the chemistry room had anything to say about it. That and the fact they they've been through twelve cans of this Rush stuff which made Vector crazier with each sip while somehow making Pinkie Pie calm. Though it did mellow out the Pie sister it didn't improve her science skills. Luna had several heart attacks when she saw Pinkie Pie walking around causally with a blow torch trying to set it. So now she was sitting watching television waiting for this little science experiment to end. And for her sister... "Sunny." To uncurl from her ball of tears. She'd been like that for the last hour along with... "Vecy." Akiko, who was curled into a ball next to her. "Why don't you love me?!" They shouted at the same time with tears shooting from their eyes. "Could you two be anymore dramatic?" Luna sighed in annoyance as she turned up the volume of the television. On the television an anchorwoman stood next to the Everfree mountains. Though it was clear something was wrong when she saw the large amount of boulders. "The rescue effort to find a man caught in a rock slide have finally come to a head. If you are just tuning in last night a dangerous rock slide occurred in the Everfree National Park. Only a single person was caught in the incident and just a few hours ago he was finally pulled out." The television cut to a man on a stretcher as he violently thrashed. A crazed look was in his eyes as he was held down by paramedics. "A MONSTER! A MONSTER IS COMING!" "Those were the only words that came out of his mouth. Paramedics have placed him under a psychiatric hold due to his wild state. The accident occurred only a few miles from grounds of Camp Everfree." The image switched to the scenes of a beautiful camp ground that brought great memories back to Luna. Celestia poked her head up when she noticed the Camp. "I had no idea such a thing had occurred." A dark skinned woman spoke up. Under her a name came across that read Gloriosa Daisy, camp director. "We at Camp Everfree do give our thoughts and prayers to the family hoping for a speedy recovery. And for those who are still worried I can give my personal guarantee that the camp is safe for all visitors. So come sign up for a stay." She had a wide smile on her face motioning toward the camp. "She is really advertising the camp at a time like this?" Luna asked with a raised eyebrow, "Like someone would really fall for..." The vice-principal heard the sound of beeps and a dial tone. Celestia was whistling as she sat by with a phone to her ear. Luna eyed her older sister with a suspicious glare. "What are you doing?" …………. One Week Later ………… "Welcome to Camp Everfree!" Gloriosa said to the group standing in front of her. Luna had a twitching eyebrow as she wore an old camp uniform with her sister. Celestia was happily smiling as she stood next to Sunset Shimmer, who was in pink shorts and a white camp shirt. The rest of her friends were in similar attire all looking in awe of the camp. Except for one. "What is this?" Vector asked with slight annoyance. The ruby eyes of Caesar glowed making him click his tongue, "I know it's the outside world. I'm asking why I'm standing in it." "So we can have some brother sister time!" Akiko gleefully shouted as she scooped Vector into her arms. "I feel like it was for more than that." Sunset groaned as she looked to her adoptive mother. She had an overly eager grin as her multicolored hair swayed in the breeze. Gloriosa looked at the group of girls with a smile. Her eyes had a green shine running through them. "You're in for one heck of a week!"
