//------------------------------// // Chapter 13 // Story: Godzilla: Clash of the Titans // by Gojipower12 //------------------------------// Maverick walked into the main control room while being accompanied by several guards. As he entered the room, all of the ponies working on the terminals stopped working and peered up at the grey stallion. “My friends, you all know as well as I do that we’ve been trying to contact Onix Star for the past day and a half. He has never responded during that time and that can only mean one terrible thing.... our glorious leader has been killed.” Maverick stated, earning confused looks from everyone. “I know, I know. It’s a tragedy. We can only assume Onix was felled by that no-good, cake-guzzling wretch Princess Celestia! So, with a heavy heart, I shall assume the mantle of leader. I promise to avenge the great Onix Star and destroy all that Celestia holds dear to her! Celestia will rue the day she ever crossed the Steel Hoof Corporation-“ The two doors leading to the control room flew open as Onix and most of the Main Six walked inside, greatly surprising everyone in the room. “ONIX?!” Maverick yelped in surprise. “Beautiful speech, Maverick. That was a true work of art. Too bad it was all for nothing. Okay, fellas, listen up. I need the best soldiers to line up at the hangars in ten minutes, we got a real problem on our hooves. Like, a really big problem. Remember the giant three-headed dragon that kicked all of our collective asses back in Appaloosa? The bastard’s heading straight for the Crystal Empire. We need all the weaponry we can muster if we’re gonna pull this off. Most of you will be joining me and the Main Six here in the assault against Ghidorah while some of you will aid Celestia in the evacuation process. One more thing: Godzilla’s en route to the Crystal Empire as well and he’s gonna be on the front lines with some of you. I don’t want anyone targeting Godzilla. Godzilla is a ally, not a enemy. If any one of you so much as points a gun at Godzilla, you will be immediately discharged and maybe even fed to the big lizard himself. Is that clear?” Onix stated, earning a simultaneous “YESSIR!” from multiple soldiers. “Good to hear. Now get going! Maverick, I need Kiryu prepped and ready for launch. We’re gonna need some really big guns to take Ghidorah down.” Onix commanded. “But, sir, our priority target is Celestia! Our whole mission revolves around destroying her and-“ “Not any more, Maverick. Our mission now is to defend the Crystal Empire. Do as you’re told and that’s it. Oh, and once we’re done with this operation, I’m pulling the plug on our weapons project. Now get to it.” Onix said, heading to the docking bay. Maverick glared at Onix behind his back, letting out a heavy sigh. “Right away, sir.” *** After arriving at the Crystal Empire, Twilight and Celestia quickly entered the Crystal Castle, where Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor were awaiting them in the throne room. “Thank Faust you two got here in one piece! I received the message Celestia sent me. Is it true that monster’s heading straight for the Crystal Empire?” Cadence asked. “It’s true, all of it.” Celestia replied. Twilight immediately began trotting towards Shining Armor, nearly jumping on him as she gave her big brother a warm hug. “Twily! It’s been a while since you visited.” Shining said with a smile. “My schedule’s not exactly free, y’know.” Twilight replied with a laugh. “You guys need to start evacuating everyone before Ghidorah arrives.” Shining looked out the window, noticing that multiple huge dark clouds were suddenly forming in the sky, followed by violent streaks of golden lightning dancing around the clouds. All the civilians down in the streets stopped what they were doing and looked up at the darkened sky with trepidation. “He’s already here...” Celestia stated with worry. The Crystal Empire’s civilians began running and screaming in terror as Ghidorah landed in town square, crushing the crystalline statue of Spike underfoot. The golden Titan’s heads swerved about in different directions as they scanned their new surroundings. Ghidorah’s center head took notice of the Crystal Castle and snarled, barking at the peripheral heads and getting their attention. Ghidorah made his way towards the castle, stomping on fruit vendors and some of the smaller houses. Twilight, Celestia, and the royal couple ran outside to one of the castle’s many balconies to get a better look at the Titan approaching the castle. Ghidorah snarled as his heads quizzically inspected the castle before resting their gazes on the Crystal Heart. “HEY! GET AWAY FROM THE CRYSTAL HEART!” Cadence yelled, getting the attention of the triple-headed Titan. Ghidorah snarled as he gazed upon the four ponies standing on the balcony. “Um, honey, was that really the smartest thing to do...?” Shining asked with worry on his face. “Probably not...” Cadence replied with fear in her own tone. Ghidorah snarled as he stood up on his legs, his throats glowing with golden light as he prepared to send them into oblivion. “Oh Faust....” Twilight gasped. “SKREEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGK!!!!!” Ghidorah immediately froze upon hearing that roar, snarling in frustration as the light in his throats died down. Ghidorah turned around, letting out a beyond frustrated hiss upon setting his gaze at the very end of the landscape. Godzilla had made it to the Crystal Empire, and was now approaching the main entrance. Following the saurian, a entire fleet of airships flew beside the Titan in a tight formation. Rainbow and the rest of the Main Six were piloting the airship leading the squad in the attack. “WHOOOOO! LET’S GO KICK SOME TITAN TAIL! YOU GUYS READY?!” Rainbow excitedly yelled in the radio. “Hell yeah. It’s about time we go take a massive shit on this three-headed asshole!” Onix said, gleefully smiling as he piloted a newly repaired Kiryu. Ghidorah let out a angry screech, completely ignoring the castle as he began barrelling towards his now most hated nemesis. Godzilla snarled as his slow walk transitioned into trotting before it finally exploded into full-on sprinting. “SKREEEEEEEOOOOOOONNNGGGGKKK!!!!” “SKREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!” The two Titans charged straight at each other before ramming into each other like two colliding freight trains.
