Gojira sighed as he remembered the first time he had met Twilight and it brought him joy. She was so young and filled with wonder, and he was right in his assumptions about her. He had become a father figure to her, so much so that at one point she had started calling him 'Papa' and 'father'. Gojira was fine with it until he remembered that she had an actual family, with an actual father. What happened after was Gojira confronting her father about the whole ordeal and, to his surprise, Twilight's father was very calm throughout the whole thing and didn't mind what so ever that Twilight had given him the title. His explanation was along the lines of how Gojira had taken the role of a father figure as Twilight saw him more than she saw her actual father. Plus, Twilight had already talked to her dad about the whole thing and he was fine as she knew who her dad was.
The only thing Twilight's father had Gojira do was bring Twilight to see her family at least once a week, a deal which Gojira had readily agreed to. The years continued and Gojira had watched twilight grow from a young filly into a wonderful young mare, and he couldn't be more proud. Though there were things that he wished she would work on, such as making some friends(Wow, he knew he had changed while living here but even he didn't think it was THAT much). Though that was quickly fixed when Celestia had sent her to a small town named Ponyville where she defeated Celestia's corrupted sister.
Now that was something Gojira was not expecting, but he was proud of his hatchling. He was proud that she was coming out of her shell and had made friends and they were quite some interesting characters. They each had some flaws but he admitted that each of them represents their elements without question. Though he was annoyed every now and then by the element of loyalty, there were certain things she did that reminded him of the Fire Demon. He's always been annoyed with the bird and seeing that loyalty mimicked some of his mannerisms irked him.
He got over it rather quickly though as his focus was shifted away from Twilight and her friends to Celestia's sister, Luna. Luna is someone that Gojira had been worried to meet and his worries were justified for the first week Luna had returned. Luna had been glued to Celestia's side for that whole week and when Gojira had been asleep in her older sister's bed, Luna had not taken that very well. After that night Luna would glare at Gojira every time she saw him and Gojira was getting annoyed. He put up with it for two weeks, only because of Celestia talking to him, but at the start of the 4th week of Luna's return, Gojira had had enough.
Luna had been on her way to Celestia's room to continue catching up on everything that she missed, Gojira had stopped her and dragged her to the garden. It was there that the two had a battle that lasted for about an hour or two before Luna couldn't fight. Whatever happened after that, Gojira and Luna wouldn't say and whenever Celestia asked, they both would only reply with, "20". After that, they got along well enough, and eventually, Luna warmed up enough to officially welcome Gojira to the family.
It was after this that things got interesting, so to say, in Gojira's life. The avatar of Chaos, Discord, had escaped his prison and had almost taken over Equestria. He was beaten in the end thanks to Twilight pulling her friends together and catching Discord off guard. After that was Cadence getting married and the Changeling invasion that had followed. Gojira really needed to talk with Celestia and Luna about security and such when he got back but the wedding was saved once again by Twilight. He did make a mental note though to give the Elements and Celestia a talking to when he learned that no one had given Twilight the benefit of the doubt when she suspected something was amiss.
After that came the return of the Crystal Empire and with it the dark king Sombra. Gojira had to commend Cadence for the willpower of keeping up the shield that was keeping everypony safe. He was even more proud of Spike for delivering the Crystal Heart to its rightful place and end Sombra. Gojira honestly felt that all of these things could have gone differently if he had been there.
He had left the night of the Grand Galloping Gala to do his routine check up on the world. He had been putting it off for a while and now was the time to get on it. He had been getting updates from Celestia on everything that was going on and even when he felt he should turn back, he didn't. He wanted to, especially during Discord's escape, but he reminded himself that if his hatchling was to lead the Elements of Harmony, then she would need to do things on her own. He kept up his routine checking and just when he had finished he got another message from Celestia. He expected another talk of how Twilight and her friends saved the day from another old villain but it was certainly not that. No, apparently Twilight had completed an old spell and had become an Alicorn and was going to have a coronation for becoming Equestria's newest princess. Gojira had rushed his journey home the moment Celestia said Twilight had become an Alicorn. Gojira had only one thing on his mind during his speed swim home, make it before his hatchling's coronation.
Gojira had thanked everything that when he made it the day before Twilight's coronation. He walked into the castle without a problem and made his way to the dining room. He heard from the guards that everypony was there going over exactly how the coronation was going to go. As he made his way towards the room he started to pick up on the conversation.
"Is there anything from papa Princess?"
"I'm afraid he hasn't contacted me since I told him of your coronation Twilight."
Gojira smiled at that, his hatchling wanted him there and he wouldn't miss it. But he halted at the door and listened in for just a little bit longer.
"Can you track him, sister?"
"I've tried but every spell I've used always ends up failing. I've asked him about it and he says it was a parting gift from an old friend."
"Old friend huh."
At that point, Gojira had decided to make himself known. He didn't like the tone in Loyalty had when she spoke, but she wasn't wrong. The gift of not being able to be tracked was from the previous Queen and she was far from just an old friend. But Gojira hadn't talked with Celestia about past partners and he was a bit hesitant about it, but if the topic came up he wouldn't lie about it. Aside from that though, he thought about having some fun with this. Loyalty didn't hold him in high regard due to earlier interactions between the two and he would take advantage of it. Besides, he hadn't had a good laugh in a while. So he pushed open the doors with a little force and immediately set his eyes on Loyalty.
"Care to elaborate on that Loyalty?" Gojira stalked towards her after speaking, making sure to snarl and show off his teeth. He stopped right in front of her and had to admit that he was impressed. Though he could tell she was scared, she tried to act tough. He waited for a response and just as she was about to open her mouth he stomped on the ground and gave a loud snarl. She jumped back and fell on the floor and Gojira felt she had enough so he stopped his act and laughed in response.
Rainbow looked at Gojira and then towards the others once she realized he was laughing. The Twilight and the royals were giggling along with Applejack and Pinkie Pie. Rarity and Fluttershy were looking at the exchange with worried faces before becoming slightly more relaxed as the others giggled. She picked herself up and got back in her seat before grumbling a bit, her face going a bit red at being embarrassed.
After the giggling was over the realization of Gojira being there finally sunk in for everypony. Twilight happily shouted, "Papa!" before teleporting over to and hugging him. Gojira chuckled before looking over to see Celestia making her way over and hugging him as well. Gojira sighed happily at the affection and hugged back before they all separated. Gojira looked to his left to see Luna standing there and smiling at Gojira. Gojira smiled back and pulled Luna into a hug as well and though she was startled by it she did hug back.
After that, he made his way to the married couple to greet them, "Armor." He said while nodding towards him. Shinning Armor nodded back with a smile and then Gojira turned to face Cadence. "Niece." he greeted before hugging her, to which she hugged back, "Hello Uncle." Gojira then shifted his attention to Spike and ruffled the scales on his head, "Young drake." Spike chuckled before giving Gojira a quick hug, "Hey Gojira." Gojira looked towards the elements and gave them all a nod. They all gave him their greetings before he turned his attention back to Twilight.
"You're here," she said with glee.
"Of course, I wouldn't miss my own hatchling's coronation." Gojira said, "Speaking of which. Let me see them."
Twilight smiled nervously before slowly opening and showing off her wings. They matched her coat in color and looked a bit bigger than the average size for pegasus wings. He walked around her to see them from every angle before stopping at her side and nipped a loose feather. After that, he walked to look at her head-on.
"They look natural on you. Like you were always meant to have them." Gojira said, pride emanating from his voice.
Twilight blushed from the praise and fidgeted a bit in place. That only made Gojira crack a smile before looking towards Celestia and asking, "So, what's the plan for her coronation?"
"Nothing much." She replied, "Just the standard walk through the hall, a quick couple of words from me about how proud I am of her, and then a presentation of her to the populace."
"Not to mention an aerial display from Rainbow Dash ending with a sonic rainboom," Twilight added.
"Oh?" Gojira shifted his attention to Loyalty and she stood tall at the mention of her crowning achievement. He gave her a genuine smile before saying, "I look forward to it."
Loyalty appeared shocked for a second before switching to a smirk and puffed out her chest. Gojira rolled his eyes at that and let everypony continue to talk about all the smaller details regarding the coronation tomorrow. As everypony talked, Gojira made his way towards Celestia and stood next to her before leaning on her and wrapping his tail around her frame. She smiled and leaned back into him and they just enjoyed each other's embrace as the rest continued to talk.
Gojira clawed at his neck a bit before feeling eyes on him and looked to see Celestia staring at him. He stopped and stood still in the line up of heroes and royals. The Elements were all wearing dresses and stood together off to the left while the royals stood in the middle. Celestia stood in the middle with Cadence and Shining Armor on her left and Luna and himself on her right. The Princesses all wore immaculate dresses while Armor and Himself wore tuxes that complimented the princesses they were with. He stood tall as Celestia had started with her speech.
"We are gathered here today in celebration of a momentous occasion." Celestia started, "My most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, has done many extraordinary things since she's lived in Ponyvile. She even helped reunite me with my sister, Princess Luna." She looked towards her sister and smiled, Luna smiled back in return and Celestia once again faced the audience.
"But today, Twilight Sparkle did something extraordinary. She created new magic, proving without a doubt that she is ready to be crowned Equestria's newest princess." Celestia stopped talking before looking towards Gojira. He was confused as to why she was looking at her and the audience had started to become confused as well. He felt a nudge from his side and looked towards Luna before she gave a quiet grunt. With that, he realized why Celestia stopped.
Gojira took a step forward before clearing his throat, all the ponies gathered looked towards him as he said, "Fillies and gentle colts, may we present for the very first time, Princess Twilight Sparkle!"
The audience turns towards the doors as Twilight steps through them followed by her royal procession. The procession was singing some sort of melodic song about Twilight. She walked through the room and stopped at the base of the small podium that Gojira and the rest were standing on. They all moved so Twilight would have room to stand and spike had moved towards Twilight, carrying a pillow that held the element of magic as it was to be her crown. Celestia levitated it up and placed it on Twilight's head as she turned to face the crowd in the room.
The crowd stared in awe of the newest princess and had started to bow before her. Twilight smiled nervously as she nodded and they all raised their heads. From there, she and everypony else had moved towards the balcony so Twilight could be seen by the rest of the city. Celestia and Luna stood next to Twilight as she waved to the massive audience of cheering ponies. Twilight waved and smiled before Celestia leaned to her ear and whispered, "Say, something Princess."
Twilight looked towards the crowd before clearing her throat. That didn't work as the cheering was so loud and just as she was about to try something else, a low but load rumble emitted from behind her and silenced everypony. Twilight looked back and saw Gojira give her a small smile and nod. Twilight nodded back and looked towards the crowd.
"A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn't care much about." Twilight looked towards her friends, who all smiled right back at her. She waved them over and turned to face them as she spoke her next words, "But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the friendships I've made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship, and for that, I will always be grateful."
Each of her friends were standing with tears in their eyes at Twilight's kind words. Twilight herself whipped her tears away before turning to face the crowd once more, "Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends. Thank you, everypony!"
The crowd erupted in cheers once more, loving the words said by the newest princess of Equestria. Twilight and her friends waved towards the crowd as they cheered while Celestia and Luna simply stood by and watched. As they did this, Gojira quietly walked over to Rainbow Dash and whispered, "I think that's your cue." Rainbow dawned a look of remembrance before taking a couple of steps back and blasting off into the sky. She left behind a rainbow trail before making a giant boom with her sonic rainboom.
Gojira chuckled as she returned to her friends with a pleased look on her face. They all moved back into the room to carry on with the rest of the day. He saw Twilight go over to her parents and talk with them before they were joined by her brother and Cadence. He smiled as Twilight talked with her friends and family and didn't notice how Celestia and Luna had moved to stand next to him.
He continued to stare at Twilight as he asked, "As proud as I am of her, are you sure she is ready for this?"
"She is more than ready, whether she realizes that or not is a different matter." Luna replied before adding, "Though with the elements by her side I do not doubt that she will be just fine."
Gojira hummed in response before looking over towards Celestia, "And you? My brilliant sun."
Celestia leaned into Gojira's side and wrapped a wing around him. In response, Gojira moved his tail so that it was laying around her on the ground. She smiled brightly as she looked at Twilight before answering, "Yes, she's ready."
Gojira chuckled at that and looked on towards the scene around them. Many ponies had been talking to Twilight, offering her their congratulations and simply talking to her. She smiled and talked back with those who spoke to her. She turned to stare and smiled at Celestia, Luna, and himself and waved at them. He chucked and waved back before he heard Celestia quietly asking, "We did good, huh?"
Gojira stayed quiet for a moment and remembered everything that had happened since Twilight had come into their lives. He remembered all the little adventures he would take her on when she was young. All the lessons he rushed her to when she wasn't paying attention to the time. The meals she shared with himself and Celestia, the late nights they tucked her into bed, and all the times they spent together as a family. He pictured the small filly that stood before him all those years ago and when he opened his eyes, he saw the wonderful mare she had grown up into. He gave a gentle smile and quietly replied.
"Yes."
