Morning has come. Princess Dawn rises the sun and lowers the moon. As the sun rises it reveals the results from last nights attack by Godzilla on the pony metropolis of Manehatten. Buildings are still burning, the corpses of many Equestrian races litter the ground, burning, half vaporived, crushed or impaled. The radiation meter is off the chart. The ponies that enter the city wear heavy radition suits. They analyze the damage and take samples for study. They also collect the bodies of the dead to have them be laid to rest. Meanwhile the media is raging about the failure of the Equestrian forces and leaders. The citizens are devastated over the attack and sadden by the deaths of their friends and family. In Canterlot a huge protest breaks out near Canterlot Castle. The royal guard ponies keep the protesters back as they cry out for answers and for Godzilla to be destroyed. Inside the Equestrian leaders, Summer Song, Superb Article, Petri Dish, Peter Paleo, and Robust Elements are in a confrence room with the Equestrian leaders argueing what to do with Princess Dawn sitting down with her head in her hoofs. The research team sit at the other end, silent and sad as they were powerless to do anything against Godzilla the past night.
"That was an embarrassment last night!" Flame, the current Dragon Lord , said.
"None of our weapons had any effect against the creature." Barlynx, King of the Changlings, said.
"We find new way yet?" Yimirlm , the Yaks Prince, asked.
"We need bigger fire power!" Gridly, the griffon king, yells.
"What good will more fire power do? This creature survived a super bomb." Queen Starlennium of the Seaponies said.
"Well we must do something." Queen Sweet Wind, the Hippogriff queen said.
"We will but as events have shown, we need to know more about the creature to destroy it." Princess Liebe of the Crystal Empire said.
"We dont have the time to be studying. Just send a bigger, more powerful super bomb at it." Flame said.
"How can you say that!?" Princess Liebe said. A large arguement breaks out on what to do. The research ponies watch as a full scale verbal war breaks out amongst the Equestrian leaders with only Princess Dawn keeping her composure. The research ponies look at each other and then heads into the room over. There they sigh as they sit around a table.
"This is all our fault. We needed to work faster. If we did we could have found a way to kill Godzilla." Paleo said sadly. Summer puts a hoof on his sholder.
"Dont despair. No one could have predicted any of this. We did the best we cpuld with what we knew. Now we have more and have to find a way to destroy Godzilla before he returns." Summer said.
"Shes right. We did our best but now we have to do better. Let us honor the ones who died and fight for the ones still alive." Superb said.
"Right. Right. We have to." Paleo said regaining his confidence.
"Excellent." Superb said. Just then the royal confrence room gets so loud they can hear cheers as. The ponies poke their head out to take a look as the leaders begin to walk out, confident that their plan will work out. As they dont see Princess Dawn they head to the confrence room and look in. There they see Princess Dawn with her head in her hands. They walk over to her.
"Did something happen Princess?" Superb asked with concern in his voice.
"Yes. Something happened. The Equestrian leaders have come to a conclusion, they are to drop a Super Bomb Nuclear device when it next appears. Regardless of the location." Princess Dawn says, extremly upset. The other ponies gasp and look at her and each other in shock.
"B-but that is how Godzilla first came into being. It wouldnt work a second time." Petri said. Princess Dawn looks at him angerly then she slams the table with her hands and get up and stares Petri down.
"DO YOU THINK I DO NOT KNOW THAT!? DO YOU NOT THINK I TRIED TO ARGUE AGAINST THE IDEA!? I DID EVERYTHING TO DISSUADE THE IDEA BUT I COULDNT! THEY ARE DEAD SET ON USING THE NUCLEAR BOMB EVEN THOUGH I PROTESTED AGAINST IT! I KNOW THE POWER AND EFFECT OF UEING THE BOMB! I WOULD NEVER, EVER, EVEN THINK ABOUT USING SUCH A HORRIDE WEAPON UNTIL ALL OPTIONS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSYED!" Princess Dawn yelled at Petri angerly as he takes a few steps back. After her speech there is a few seconds of silence as she regains composure.
"I-i understand princess. I apologize for my quick assumption." Petri said. Dawn calms down and sit back down.
"No. Im sorry for lashing out at you like that." Princess Dawn leans back in her chair and sighs. "However the notion still stands. It was deemed that as soon as Godzilla returns and sets foot on land, a G-54 Super Missile equiped with a J-45 warhead is to be launched from a submarine. The yeild is set to be no less than 2 megatons." Princess Dawn chokes up at the end and breaks out into tears. The room goes silent.
"Thats less than the megatonage than the test that created Godzilla. I have little confidence that it would work. And should the fireball and resulting blast wave not kill him, the nuclear fallout definitely wouldn't." Petri said and he takes a seat to think.
"A 2 megaton nuclear device is enough to make the entire Manehatten island uninhabitable and poison the surrounding land and water. And thats just Manehatten which is already destroyed. If it were to detonate in any other city then there mey be more damage than what Godzilla just caused." Superb said.
"I know." Dawn says with a huge sigh. "However that is the plan going forward. The submarine, REDNS Silent Hawk is to lauch the G-54 missile as soon as its confirmsd that Godzilla is coming ashore. The Equestrian leaders are using every resource to find and then track Godzilla. Unless a new plan is thought up of, this is what they are going with." Dawn says and looks at them. This gets Petri thinking and then suddenly pulls Summer and Superb away and into the next confrence room.
"Hey. Whats the deal Petri?" Superb asked, extremely confused.
"Shush. Listen. I have a friend in Ponyville, a scientist like me but way smarter. He has developed a new super weapon. One that has the portential to kill Godzilla." Petri said.
"A new super weapon? What kind of super weapon? What do you mean? How destructive is it?" Summer ask, confused.
"Its highly destructive. With the potential to destroy every being in Equestria. Thats the main reason he doesnt want to expose the weapon. But....given these circumstances, the nuclear super bomb probably wont harm Godzilla and will only do more damage to the city its dropped on rather than to Godzilla, i have to say that its a viable option." Petri said cautiously as he just broke his promise to Smart Flask. Superb looks at Petri with concern.
"How......destructive is this highly destructive option?" Superb asked still highly concerned. Petri looks at Superb nervously. Petri sighs and looks at Superb.
"Well.........he's worried that once revealed that the weapon is so revolutionary that it would spark a arms race for it. He states that the weapon is so destructive that it could have the possibility to destroy cities and towns. He even demonstrated the power of this weapon. The prototype he used was but the size of a golf ball and yet it turned an entire tank full of fish to bones in seconds. Think of the damage if it was the size of a volleyball or even a wreaking ball." Petri said in a combined scared and nervous voice.
"If what you say is true, then i can understand his fear. Indeed, if such a weapon exists the balance of power would definitely begin to shake and maybe even crumble. But.....with out it, Pony kinfd, Equestria, maybe the entire world could be destroyed by Godzilla." Superb said anxious.
"Without it, ot is most likely that we wont find a weapon that can destroy Godzilla before he destroys us all. We must convince him to use it." Summer said trying to be confident.
"Itll take a lot of convincing. He seem extremely adamant that he will NEVER show off the Oxygen Destroyer to the public. Even if it cost him his life." Petri said.
"Well, if Godzill continues to have his way then he WILL die. This way he may have a chance to stop the Oxygen Destroyer or even find a way to stop its effects if others take an intrest in building them for destructive purposes." Superb said gaining more confidence. Summer nods in agreement and Petri looks down in order to think.
"I guess your right. No, you arenboth correct. Without his device, of not Godzilla then the nuclear bombs will destroy the world. We have to stop them both. And the only thing that can do it is Flasks Oxygen Destroyer. We HAVE to convince him to use it." Petri said gaining the same confidence. With all three of them nodding in agreement they leave and heads to the airship and boards it.
"Where to?" One of the pegusus guards ask.
"To Ponyville please." Petri says. The pilot nods and the airship takes off. A few hours later the airship lands and the three ponies disembark.
"Thanks for the ride, we'll be back so dont go anywhere." Superb said to the pegasus guard.
"Understood sir." The pilot said. Superb and Summer follows Petri until they come up to Smart Flasks' house. Petri knocks on the door and rings the bell a few times. Soon Flask opens the door a bit and sees Petri.
"What do you want?" Flask asks still mad and disappointed at Petri.
"Look, I know i upset you the last time we met. However, the situation has become critical. Wee need your Oxygen Destroyer." Petri said in a humbled near begging voice.
"I already said i wont give it to you or anyone else. Now leave before you strain our friendship." Flask said demandingly.
"Then can you talk with all of us." Superb said and peeks over Petri.
"Who in Tartarus are you?" Flask said not trusting Superb.
"My name is Superb Article. I head up the Anti-Godzilla task force. We NEED your device. Just one. Please. I swear to you that no pony or race will begin development of the Oxygen Destroyer." Superb said pleadingly.
"I dont care if you were Princess Celestia herself, i will NOT give you my device. Good. Bye." Flask said and begins to close the door but Superb stops him and pushes on the door to keep it open and Flask pushes on the door to close it as a struggle breaks out over the door.
"Please! Wait! Hear me out! We need to talk! We need your device!" Superb yelled as he tries to keep Flask from closing his door.
"Never! I will never hand over the device! Not to anyone for any situation ! You will never get it! Now leave before I call the police and have you-" Flask yells back but is then cut off by Superb.
"THEIR PLANNING ON NUKING GODZILLA!!" Superb yelled at the top of his lungs. This causes the ponies nearby to look out and see what all the commotion is. Flask looks at Superb wide eyed and stops pushing on the door.
"What did you say?" Flask said a little confused and wanting confirmation. Superb relaxs a bit but still keeps pressure on the door.
"The leaders have decided that the next time Godzilla appears that he is to be nuked with a 2 megaton nuclear device. I know your a smart man. You know that the super weapon wont kill him right?" Superb said in a slightly sad voice.
"I see. Fine. I'll hear you out. Come inside." Flask says and relaxs and backs away and opens the door for them. Superb, Summer and Petri walk in and Flask closes the door. He takes them to the living room and the guests sit down while Flask gets drinks for everyone and returns and sets the drinks on the coffee table and sits across from the other ponies. "So, is it true that the Equestrian leaders are really going to nuke the creature? Princess Dawn would never agree to use such a device so early."
"You are right, Princess Dawn would never agree to it. However all of the other leaders have outvoted her. The plan is the next time that Godzilla appears, a G-54 missile will be launched with a 2 megaton J-45 warhead." Superb said as he takes a sip from his cup.
"If the warhead goes off it will leave the surrounding area, the size of a city, irradiated with radition. Itll be worse than if Godzilla attacked." Summer said.
"I see but forgive me for asking but who are you?" Flask asked Summer.
"Oh. Of course. Forgive me for the late introduction. I am Chief Song of Hope, but many ponies call me Summer Song. I was the chief of a island village where Godzilla was first spotted" Summer said.
"I see. I heard about your villages destruction on the news when they were covering the story of Godzilla this morning. Im sorry for your lose. My name is Smart Flask. Its very nice to meet you, thpugh i wish it were under better circumstances." Flask said.
"Indeed. It is nice to meet you." Summer said.
"Back to the matter at hand. We need your device, Smart." Petri said. Flask looks at Petri.
"I understand why you want it but it is still hard for me to say yes. The device is highly destructive and so far only works in water." Flask said and looks at them still worried.
"And you believe that by revealing the existence of the weapon that research will begin and soon not only will other races develop the Oxygen Destroyer, but will also improve it so it can be used in atmosphere environments and not just in water. And should they be unable to they would target you and maybe even those you love and force you to make them," Summer said in an soft and understanding voice.
"Correct. Petri saw what it did to a tank full of fish." Flask said.
"We know. Petri told us about your experiment with the fish. Truthfully we cannot blame you for not wanting to use the device. However, the situation is getting desperate. We may have to use your device." Superb said softly.
"Please. I need to understand why. Why you need the device this badly." Flask said.
"Well, we think Godzilla is sentient or near sentient and is out for revenge for what we did to him with the nuclear testing. We suspect he'll either take out all of pony kind or maybe all of Equestria. So far all conventional weapons are ineffective against Godzilla. Cannons, missiles, rockers, artillery, rifles, everything, they didnt even scratch him. Now a nuclear weapon is about to be used, one that is weaker than the one that was accidently used to mutate him. Its obvious that the missile wont even harm him. We NEED something else. We believe that the Oxygen Destroyer can do it as it is a chemical weapon, not a explosive or physical weapon like nukes or cannon rounds." Superb said. Flask remains silent for a bit, and looks down deep in thought. The three ponies wait and watch for his answer. After several of minutes Flask looks up and shakes his head.
"I still cannot give up the Oxygen Destroyer. Its power is still too much. We can find another way to destroy Godzilla. But i cannot give up the Oxygen Destroyer." Flask said a bit somberly. The three ponies look at him in surprise and disappointment.
"You.....you can NOT be serious Flask. If we dont use your device, lots of people will DIE!!!" Petri yelled out in anger.
"And if i reveal my device many MORE will die!! A few thousand will have to perish so that millions more can live! That is how the world works Petri, not every one will survive to see the next day!" Flask yells back angerly. The two ponies stare each other down. Finally Petri heads to Flasks television and turns it onto the news network covering Godzilla. It shows the destruction from last nights attack and the current death toll.
"Look at this Smart. Look. At. This. Long and hard. Just last night, four thousand two hundred eighty seven people perished. Not just ponies. Changlings died. Crystal ponies. Gryphons. Sea ponies. Hippogriffs. Yaks. Equestria came together last night to try and stop Godzilla. But it didnt work. They were killed. Slaughtered. Massacred. Now all of Manehatten is irradiated with radiation. Ponies will not be able to return for months. Maybe even years. And you want to let this horror to continue just so ypu dont have t reveal your device? By the time you decide that its time tp use it, Equestria will have been destroyed. All life living in it will have been wiped out. And you want to wair. Let those ponies suffer while you stay here and watch it all happen. What happened to the real Smart Flask that i knew? The one who wanted to make a huge difference in the world as a colt. The one that when he got his degree wanted to help the world and bring everlasting peace." Petri said in a saddened and hurt voice. Flask sat down and put his head in his hoodfs to think. Just then they heard singing. They all turn and look at the television where fillies, colts and youngsters from ever race are singing a song of hope and unity. Petri stares at the television and listen intently. After the song ends Flask looks down and sighs.
"If i hand over the Oxygen Destroyer, then there must be several conditions that have to be met in order to do so. This is non-negotiatable. Its either a 100% agreement or i will not hand over the Oxygen Destroyer. I will take it and disappear forever." Flask said a bit somberly. The other three ponies look at him.
"I swear to you, on my life, that the Equestrian leaders will agree. You have my word." Petri said, reassuringly.
"If they agree then i will create a Oxygen Destroyer powerful enough to take Godzilla out." Flask said.
"Thank you Smart Flask. Let us hurry and return to Canterlot Castle" Superb said with a small smile. The ponies stand and leave. Flask locks his door tightly with several locks and seals his entire house with his magic. The four ponies return to the airsship and the airship takes off and heads back to Canterlot. Once there the airship lands and the ponies hurry back to the Royal Confrence room where the other Anti-Godzilla task force learders are with Princess Dawn. The ponies loom up as the four other ponies enter the room. Princess Dawn looks at them furiously.
"Where have you four been!? We are in a state of emergency and you three disappear! Now you return with a stranger!? You all best explain yourselves immediately!" Princess Dawn yells furiously.
"With your permission Princess, we have brought back the solution to Godzilla that doesn't require a nuclear bomb." Superb said with a smile. The other ponies look at him confused. Superb, Summer, Petri and Flask sit down at the table and begins to introduce Smart and his project and the plan. Princess Dawn's anger slowly dissipates as she hears Flasks' story and the reason why he didn't want to reveal the existence of the Oxygen Destroyer.
"I see. And i can understand why you wouldn't want to come forward with this device. Your right, the destructive capabilities of this Oxygen Destroyer are immense and maybe infinite. I apologize for my outburst when you arrived." Princess Dawn said somberly.
"Its quite alright. You are under a lot of stress your majesty. Please pay your outburst with no mind. But as you said, the Oxygen Destroyer has perhaps infinite potential of destruction. That is why i want my conditions met with no arguments or compromises as this is device has the potential to wipe out everything." Flask said going from a soft voice to a demanding and strict voice.
"I understand. Please tell me your demands and ill make sure, with you present, that the Oxygen Destroyer will never be deployed again or development of another will be undertaken." Princess Dawn said.
"Thank you your majesty, you are truly a wise leader. My demands are simple:
1: Development or research into the Oxygen Destroyer will never be undertaken by any Empire, Kingdom, race or individual.
2: No video or pictures of the first and ONLY Oxygen Destroyer shall be taken. I do not mind reporters watching and writing about what they see.
3: I want an armed escort with me at all times, the Oxygen Destroyer is not to leave my sight and i am the ONLY one who handles the device. That is all." Flask said with a strict voice.
"I see. Your demands are quite reasonable and fair. I myself see no problems with your demands. I accept them but i cannot speak on the behalf of the other Equestrian leaders. Let me gather them back up and I'll make sure that they agree to these terms." Princess Dawn said.
"Thank you your majesty." Flask said. Princess Dawn immediately send her guards to round up all of the other Equestrian leaders after about an hour, the leaders have all reassembled. Princess Dawn and Flask begins to tell them about Flasks' plan and device. Upon them finishing, Princess Dawn summons a folder containg the terms. The Changeling King, Crystal Empire Princess, Yak Princess, and Hippogriff Queen immediately agree and sign their names on their respective lines. However, the Dragon Lord, Seapony Queen, and Griffon King, do not accept and do not sign. All the leaders look at them surprised and Flask looks at them with animosity.
"What ever for? This is a sound plan and his demands are completely sound and reasonable." Princess Liebe said.
"Reasonable? Maybe. But deploying a WMD that effects the very habitat that we seaponies require to survive is unacceptable. What if it damages the surroundings?" Queen Starlennium said quite angrily.
"And for the device to be unavailable after this is all finished is a complete waste of it potential. Think of the possibilities that it can gain us if utilized as a war deterrent." King Gridly of the Griffins said.
"I concur with King Gridly. We can not over look the potential of this weapon." Dragon Lord Flame said. Flask looks at Princess Dawn angrily. Princess Dawn swallows and looks at them the 3 opposing factions.
"Well, these are the demands its creator, Smart Flask, has given us. As we know, this device is the only true sure fire way of stopping Godzilla. The G-54 warhead will not stop him as Godzilla survived a warhead 7 times the yield of the G-54. Now please, agree the the terms." Princess Dawn said.
"And if we refuse?" The 3 leaders say and look at her sternly. Princess Dawn sighs and looks back at them just as sternly.
"Then i will have no choice but to expel you 3 from the Equestrian leaders council. As you 3 know, since you won't be on this council, then should something happen to your subjects or your lands we will not be able to provide aid. And if, by any chance, we discover any of you doing any activities that could jeopardize the well being of Equestria, then we, the council, WILL take military action against your governments. It would be in the best intrest for your subjects to agree now." Princess Dawn said and looks at them with a extremely stern look. The other council members agree and look at the 3 opposing factions. Gritting their teeth the 3 factions all reluctantly agree to the terms. As the last letter is written and the folder is passed back to Princess Dawn, she smiles and closes the folder.
"Thank you all for this. With that, we all agree to these terms and that once the threat is over, the research and development of Micro-oxygen weapons will never commence." Princess Dawn said. The leaders agree with the Dragon Lord, Griffin King and Seapony Queen agreeing with reluctance. Princess Dawn nods and looks to Flask.
"How long will it be for you to develop a Oxygen Destroyer to kill Godzilla?" Princess Dawn asks Flask.
"A day, maybe 2 at most." Flask answers with confidence.
"Excellent. Begin work right away. I will have a company of Royal Guards stationed around your lab ready to escourt you and the device to Fillydelphia for deployment on Cruiser REN Guidance." Princess Dawn says with confidence.
"Right away your majesty. Thank you." Flask, Petri, Summer and Superb all leave and head back to the airship as the council is dismissed and the leaders leave. After a few hours, the 4 ponies arrive back at Ponyville and head into Flasks' house.
"Will it really take you a day or 2 for you to create a Oxygen Destroyer large enough to kill Godzilla?" Superb asked.
"Well, from the size of the creature that i saw and what was given to me on the estimations, its about 50 meters tall and about 20,000 metric tons." Flask talks as he leads the 3 other ponies to his lab in the basement and flicks on the light on to the lab. "Based on these calculations his body is about the same size as 13.5 Equestria Games swimming pools. Meaning the total volume of water the Oxygen Destroyer would have to deoxygenate a volume of at least 9 million gallons of water. This is easy in a pool or lake, but in the ocean where the Micro-oxygen can dissipate and spread more easier, the device will have to be bigger."
"How in all of Equestria and Tartarus did you come up with these conclusions?" Superb ask, completely flabbergasted as he stops at the edge of the steps and then catches up with the followers. The 3 guest ponies stop at the first table as Smart continues on and begins to gather materials.
"Easy. Godzillas' height and width of his body are about the same size as a EG swimming pool which is 50 by 25 meters. We can also assume his body length is most likely 25 meters as well. Each EG swimming pool is 50 X 25 X 2 meters with a volume of 660,000 [US] gallons. With these calculations for his body alone we would need to fill deoxygenate a volume of 31,250 meters cubed which equals to 8,255,375 gallons of water. His tail is also 50 meters long and, at the base, 2 meters in diameter. We just neet to add another EG swimming pool size which brings us to 8,915,375 gallons of water. I just rounded to the nearest million. Thus the size of the device will have to be no less than the size of a grape fruit." Flask answers with confidence. Superb and Summer look at him is complete awe and are completely flabbergasted. Petri just smiles as he knows Flask is a walking supercomputer.
"A-and your sure this will kill Godzilla? I mean the amount and size needed to destroy Godzilla." Superb asks still in awe.
"I am sure. I've run the calculations over and over in my head since we left Canterlot castle." Flask said with confidence. Nodding, Superb smiles a little.
"You are our last hope Smart Flask. Not just us or the Equestrian Leaders, but the entire continent, no, the entire world, is depending on you." Superb said and smiles. Flask looks at him and smiles.
"Hee. No pressure huh? Thanks Superb. Ill do my best. Itll take some time so please, make your self at home and help yourself to anything in my house." Flask says and smiles back at them then turns away and the smile disappears as soon as his face is hidden. The three guest ponies leave to allow Flask to work in piece.
As Flask works Superb, Summer and Petri take turns running task for Flask. From getting him the necessary beaker to bringing him food and drinks. Flask works through the night and only sleeps when he puts the first batch of chemicals into automatic tumblers. He falls asleep at the tumbler table with his head on the table. Summer puts a blanket around him and lifts his head up and puts his head on a pillow then heads up to sleep. In the morning, Flask resumes his work and the other ponies help. Late that afternoon Summer, Superb and Petri are upstairs when they all smell smoke coming from the basement. Frightened that Flask maybe in trouble they all run down to rescue him only to discover that the basement isn't on fire and that Flask is burning papers and folders. The 3 ponies walk over to him to see what's going on.
"Flask. What has happened? What are you doing? Wait, aren't those your research notes?" Petri asks as he gets a look at the papers Flask is burning with a bunsen burner.
"They are. This way no one can get ahold of my research. All documents and knowledge will be destroyed so they can't be stolen or copied." Flask says somberly as he lights another folder. The 3 ponies look at him and nod in an understanding way.
"Then i suppose the Oxygen Destroyer is complete?" Superb asks.
"Indeed it is. The Oxygen Destroyer is inside that capsule for safe keeping. Do not touch it. I will handle it." Flask says in a warning voice. The 3 ponies look to their right and see on a table a long capsule. The main body is a glass chamber with 4 metal rods connecting it with the metal half ball ends. Inside the glass chamber is a metallic sphere a little bigger than a grape fruit, a seam is cut down the middle and thick metal rods connect the 2 sphere halves, keeping them in place.
"Of course and we understand. Let us help you burn this stuff." Superb says and begin to help him with Summer and Petri soon also joining in to help.
"Thank you all." Flask says and all 4 of them continue to burn Flasks research notes. Soon all the papers are burned to ash and Petri turns the bunsen burner out.
"Right. So, with all of the documents gone, were all set to leave right?" Superb asked Flask and Flask nods walking over to the Oxygen Destroyers' table and seals the main capsule into a bigger, secondary capsule. Flask then walks over to a saddle hanger and using his magic to put the saddle on. The saddle has 2 U-shaped prongs are lined up in a row and have 4 notches in them that match 4 nubs on the Oxygen Destroyers' outer capsule. Placing the Oxygen Destroyers' capsule onto the prongs, the capsule clicks onto the prongs so it doesn't fall off.
"There. Now, lets go. We have a continent to save." Flask says with confidence. The three other ponies smile at him and nods and all four of them walk upstairs and up to the door. As soon as the door is opened, they are by a company of Royal Guard Ponies who salute them. The light blue stallion with a doted outline of a spear and the biggest helmet crest walks up to them.
"Good afternoon sirs and madam. I am Captain Stealth Spear. I will be your guard for your travels. We all thank you for your tireless work." The stallion says.
"Thank you very much captain. I am Smart Flask. Are the Equestrian leaders ready for us?" Flask walks up to him and gives a small smile.
"They are awaiting my letter and then they will meet is in Fillydelphia. The cruiser is already in the harbor awaiting us. Teams are out trying to locate Godzilla." Spear said and then stepped aside to let the 4 ponies through. Nodding Flask, Summer, Superb, and Petri begin to walk, Spear teleports the letters to the Equestrian leaders and the guard ponies surround them as they return to the airship. They board the airship and find their seats and the airship takes off. It travels through the night. The ponies take turns sleeping along the way. They arrive as the sun is just peaking over the horizon as Princess Dawn is raising the sun and lowering the moon. The airship lands and the door opens and the ponies disembark and head to the harbor's main wharf where the cruiser, REN Guidance is moored along the wharf. The royal guard ponies escort Summer, Flask, Super and Petri to the ship where all the leaders of Equestria and several reporter ponies have gathered on deck.
"Good morning you 4. I assume that capsule on your back is the Oxygen Destroyer?" Princess Dawn asks as the 4 ponies climb up and stops when they come up to the Equestrian leaders. Flask backs up a step and uses his magic to pull the capsule off his back and opens the outer capsule just enough to reveal the metal sphere inside. The leaders lean in take a closer look.
"This thing is the Oxygen Destroyer? Are you joking with me? It looks like a metal softball." Flame, the Dragon Lord says.
"With in this 'metal softball' is a chemical that will deoxygenate a volume of water equal to 15 million gallons of water." Flask says. The leaders gasp and lean in more but Flask closes the capsule on them and holsters the capsule on his back again.
"Has the creature been found yet?" Flask asks. Princess Dawn nods.
"Search squad Charlie found him in Horseshoe Bay a few hours ago. Apparently its a asleep as Godzilla hasn't moved from the spot since." Princess Dawn says and signals to the crew to make ready to leave.
"Thank you. Ill be on the bow if you need me." Flask says and begins to walk up to the bow of the ship. Sailor ponies are running around prepping the ship to leave. The others go their separate ways. Some of them go down into the hull while others stay on deck and out of the way of the sailors. The ship soon leaves port and heads towards Horseshoe Bay. Just as the ship exits the harbor, Summer, Superb and Petri come up to Flask on the bow and sit with him.
"You've got a lot on your mind, don't you?" Petri says.
"I'm carrying a WMD on my back and a bunch of power hungry leaders just behind me that want it. Of course i have a lot on my mind." Flask says a bit snappish.
"We've known each other since we were colts Smart. I know when you have a lot on your mind and become snappish when you have A LOT on your mind. There's more isn't there?" Petri says and looks at Flask with concern. Summer and Superb look at each other then back at them worriedly.
"I'm deploying this WMD. What do you expect? I'm not happy and completely on edge on deploying it. I just pray and hope that afterwards, the leaders keep their promises." Flask says worryingly.
"We'll make sure of it. Won't we buddy?" Petri said and smiles at Flask, holding his hoof out. Flask looks at him then looks down and smiles and looks back and bump hooves.
"Yeah. We will buddy." Flask says softly but with confidence. Summer and Superb smile and joins them.
"We will too." Superb and Summer say together.
"As do we." 2 other voices say behind them. The ponies turn and see Dr. Peter Paleo and Prof. Robust Chemicals.
"Peter. Robust. You 2 are here too?" Superb asked surprised.
"Of course we are. We're part of the Anti-Godzilla Task Force after all." Peter said.
"And we're all friends right? Including Smart." Robust added. The 4 ponies smiles and nod at them and turn around as Peter and Robust walk over, the 6 of them forming a circle.
"Friends till the end." They all say together and laugh as they begin to talk as the ship continues on onto Horseshoe Bay. A few hours pass and the ship soon enters Horseshoe Bay. The cruiser pulls along side the smaller Anti-submarine ships that were tracking Godzilla. Flask walks to the railing and the captain of the ship comes out.
"Is he still below?" Flasks asks.
"Aye. He is. Seems to be asleep still." The captain answers.
"Thank you." Flask says and heads to mid ship. The Equestrian Leaders come out to watch.
"So, how are you going to deploy your 'Oxygen Destroyer'? Queen Starlennium said mockingly. Flame and Gridly snicker with her. The other Equestrian Leaders, Summer, Petri, Peter, and Robust shoot mean looks at them to shut them up. Flask ignores them.
"How else. The most reliable way." Flask says and much to the surprise of everyone, he summons a deep diving scuba suit. "Manually and up close." Flask begins to put the suit on much to the astonishment of everyone.
"You. You must be joking. That's suicide. " Queen Starlennium says in astonishment.
"I'm a unicorn. I can teleport back." Flask says.
"Well you aren't going alone. I'm coming with." Flask turns around and sees Petri also putting on a scuba suit.
"No no. Your not coming too." Flask says with concern.
"Hey. I'm a scientist like you and besides, if you get in trouble, who's gonna deploy the Oxygen Destroyer since only you know how to deploy it." Petri said with a smile. Flask looks down to think for a bit then looks back at Petri.
"Fine. But once we reach the deployment zone, you will immediately return to the surface with ZERO questions. Got it?" Flask strictly says to Petri.
"Understood." Petri answers. Flask nods and the 2 ponies continue putting on the their diving suits. After they put their diving suits on Flask uses his magic to open the outer capsule and pulls the main capsule out. The leaders stare at the new capsule housing the Oxygen Destroyer. The reporter ponies begin to write everything down. After doing a radio check with the ship they jump in and head down. A rope trails behind them for a safety line. Flask uses his magic to bring the Oxygen Destroyer. Petri and Flask decends into the darkness. They activate their flashlights as they near the sea floor. They reach the silt floor.
"Sea floor reached. Approaching the deployment zone now." Flask says over the radio to the the ship.
"Copy that. Becareful down there." Princess Dawn says. Flask and Petri continue on and soon spot Godzilla still asleep. Flask swallows hard as he stares at Godzilla and looks at Petri. Petri looks back with a nervous face too but takes a deep breath and nods with a look of confidence. Flask does the same and nods and they continue to walk towards Godzilla. Soon their right next to him. Petri looks at Flask and Flask nods and radios both Petri and the ship.
"Ok. Deployment zone reached. On my count, Petri and I will teleport back and ill activate the device. Ready?" Flask says.
"Ready." Petri and the ponies on the ship say.
"Ok. When i say go. Got it?" Flask says.
"Got it." Petri says.
"Right. 3...." Flask begins and moves the device up.
"2....." Flask takes the switches off safety.
"1......" Flasks' and Petris' horns glow with magic and a magical aura surrounds them.
"GO!" They both cast their spells. Petri is immediately teleported back to the ship while Flask casts an Anti-teleportation spell on him and cuts the safety rope as he sets the device off. Water rushes into the the glass chamber and the metal sphere separates. Immediately a ton of bubbles begin to shoot into the water and float up. On the surface, Petri was teleported back onto the ship. He takes off his mask and flipper then looks around and doesn't see Flask.
"Where's Flask?" Petri asks.
"He was with you. Didn't he teleport back?" Superb said. He looks at Superb shocked and horrified then runs to the radio and grabs the microphone with his magic.
"Flask!! Are you there?! What in Tartarus are you doing?! Get back here now!" Petri yells into the microphone.
"I'm sorry Petri. But i can't. I have to stay." Flask says back.
"Are you insane!? Fine! I'm summoning you back!" Petri yells and fires a spell. A magic aura appears on the deck, behind the radio. The aura goes splat as Flask doesn't appear.
"Apologies my friend. But what i cast wasn't a teleporting spell. It was a anti-summoning spell." Flask said in a sad and monotone voice.
"What? But.....why?" Petri said as he begins to cry.
"This is the only way to protect the secrets of the Oxygen Destroyer. With all my papers and documents gone, now no one can get it from me." Flask said.
"Y-your.......really going to stay down there?" Petri said sadly as others begin to tear up and watch the radio.
"I have to. This is the only way to guarantee that all the information on the Oxygen Destroyer is destroyed. I'm sorry. It's been fun. I had always wanted to grow old with you buddy. Looks like I'll be going on ahead of you." Flask says as he tries to hold back his tears.
"You better reserve a spot at the bar up there for me buddy." Petri says as he wipes his tears and the bubbles begin to make the water boil and Godzilla wakes up and roars under the water.
"Hee. Ill be watching over you all. Have a merry life everyone. Live it to the fullest. This is Professor Smart Flask, saying goodbye." Flask says and cuts the radio transmission. He watches as Godzilla stands up in pain and thrashes. He smiles and sets the Oxygen Destroyer capsule down and watches as the bubbles surround him and feels the bubbles taking effect on his body. "Live it up everyone. And ill be reserving seats for everyone." Flask closes his eyes as the bubbles consume him.
The bubbles begin to consume Godzilla. Slowly his flesh begins to dissolve. It stands up fully and breeches the surface. The water all around it boils. All the leaders and ponies turn around and see it. Godzilla lets out an ear piercing roar of pain. The leaders and ponies watch in horror as they can see the flesh of Godzilla literally dissolving off his body and disintegrating into nothing. With Godzilla's legs dissolved to bone it collapses and falls back under the water. Godzilla lets out one last feeble roar as the rest of his body dissolves. The bones falls to the sea floor as the last of its flesh dissolves off. The roar lingers then disappears as the bones settle on the bay floor. The boiling water subsides and bubbles stop. All that's left of the once great monster known as Godzilla is a pile of bones. Near by Flasks' air tank, mask, fins and suit lay on the sea floor with the mask looking upwards and towards the REN Guidance.
On the ship every being looks to the water as the water settles. The sonar operator looks at his monitor and listen in on his hydrophones.
"Nothing. Nothing. No sounds. Nothing on sonar. Its like a void is down there. There........nothing. I can't even hear a fish." He says. The silence on the ship remains as the crew, leaders and the anti-Godzilla team remain silent. Finally, Princess Dawn speaks up first.
"My friends. Godzilla is dead. We all swore to never again research the Oxygen Destroyer. This was, and still is, Professor Smart Flasks' last wish. A wish we all swore and signed on. Let us remember him by never again creating such a devastating weapon." Princess Dawn says. All the Equestrian Leaders nod and agree, even Queen Starlennium, Dragon Lord Flame, and King Gridly. They all salute to Flask. After a minute Summer looks at Superb, a bit hesitant to say anything but then she takes a deep breath and looks at him.
"So, with Godzilla gone and the Oxygen Destroyer unleashed, what's going to happen now?" Summer says. Everyone looks at her then to Superb as he lowers his hoof and continues to look out to the bay.
"We learn from this. We learn from it and make sure that this never happens again. We created Godzilla through our abuse of nuclear weapons. We must never let that happen again. We unleashed a even worse super weapon to stop Godzilla. If any more of these creatures ever show up, we must find a different way to stop them than unleashing a super weapon." Superb said as he turns and heads to the stern and looks out to the open sea. "We made a huge mistake. A mistake that has cost us friends and family. We created a super weapon that created a monster, no a giant monster......a Kaiju."
"Kaiju?" Princess Liebe asks.
"The ancient word for Godzilla. They believed that Godzilla and Kaiju were just myths, fantasy, and ancient text. They never expected that one would exist. And the only reason it existed was because we created it. We must never allow that to happen. In honor of Smart Flask." Superb said and turns around. The leaders agree and nod to each other. Summer walks over to Superb. Superb turns around to look at the stern again and towards the horizon.
"You think there are still more Kaiju out there?" Summer asks worried.
"I don't know anymore. This whole experience. Godzilla., the Oxygen Destroyer, Flasks sacrifice. I don't know." Superb says softly and Summer looks down in disappointment and fear. "But what i do know is if their are more Kaiju out there, we need to be ready for them." Superb says confidently. Summer looks at him and smiles.
"We will." Summer says. Peter, Petri, and Robust walk up to them.
"Together." All 5 of them say together. They all look out to the horizon of the sea. Deep below the surface, the silt moves and causes Flasks' mask to move and look in the same direction as the other 5 ponies were staring in and the mouth piece of the breather make it look like the mask has a smile.
