Canterlot Beach (A few minutes earlier)
…………….
Kubo watched the beach become more distant as he stood on the bow of whale watching boat. To his surprise there were a lot more people on board than he thought there was going to be. Making his heart beat slightly faster. As he now had to deal with making sure no one notice a hyperactive mini-Mothra clinging to the side of the ship. He wiped his brow when she slammed into the side of the boat nearly knocking herself out cold when they started getting on board. Moll had found the act adorable, but Kubo put that on the list of headaches he was going to deal with for the day. According to Moll she was just excited about finding Godzilla. Which by chance was the other massive headache he'd have to deal with. The last thing he needed was an entire ship full of people freaking out about a giant lizard swimming under them. It was already bad enough that....
"Kubo!"
"Cadenza?" Kubo had a surprised smile when the woman came running toward him with Shinning Armor wrapped around her arm. She had an eager smile as she looked around the ocean.
"I told you call me Cadance." Cadance said with a smile as she leaned in close to Kubo, "So any sign of you know who?"
Kubo broke into a hard sweat regretting having told her about Godzilla. He started stammering on his words while looking around making sure no one was in ear shot. Luckily Shinning Armor came to his rescue with a small laugh as he pulled his excited girlfriend to the side.
"Cadance we just left the dock."
"Sorry I'm just a little excited." Cadance smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of her head.
"It's fine just not used to civilians asking about the Big Guy so eagerly." Kubo said as he looked over the side of the boat staring at the crystal blue water, "Most people just want him dead."
"Well they don't see the good in him like I do." Cadance smiled looking over the edge with him.
"Same here...despite the fact that he scares crap out of me." Shinning Armor chuckled.
Kubo caught sight of Shinning Armor rubbing his pocket. He began to tap on the railing lightly small beads of sweat forming on his head. Kubo smiled knowing what was going on in the man's head without him having to say anything.
"Hey I'm going inside to see if I can look at the radar. It would probably be better if I saw the G-man before any of the crew." Kubo said as he started walking off.
"Oh that sounds exciting! Can we come to?!" Cadance pleaded with her best puppy dog face.
"Hey you guys came to see whales and I'm on a mission." Kubo said getting a long moan from Cadance.
"Cadance, we're on vacation Kubo's working." Shinning Armor chuckled.
"Fine," Cadance sighed before rushing into Kubo's face, "But you'll come get us if he shows up right?"
"Trust me you'll know when the Big Guy shows up." Kubo said with a wink that made Cadance squeal and rush to the side of the boat studying the water. Shinning Armor chuckled at his girlfriend as she acted like one of her students.
"Hey Shinning Armor." Kubo said getting the man's attention, "Don't be nervous."
Shinning Armor blushed his back getting stiff as he looked at Cadance. His hand went to his pocket and he smiled nervously. Kubo walked off with a smile on his face. He felt a small mental tug in the back of his head.
'You could have let them come.' Moll said.
'That wouldn't have been fair to Shinning Armor.' Kubo said putting a hand in his pocket to pat Moll's head.
'Not fair?'
'Yeah he's going to ask Cadance to marry him. Godzilla and I don't need to get in the way of that'
'He is?!' Moll's joyful voice matched her bouncing body in his pocket.
'Yeah he must really love her.' Kubo said with a chuckle.
'You should ask Shinning Armor for advice.' Moll said with a giggle.
'About what?'
'Love of course! You and Hikari really need it!'
Kubo sighed as his face became red, "Here we go."
"Elevated heart rate detected. Are you thinking about making love to Hikari?"The G-glove suddenly beeped.
Kubo's eyelids lowered as he grumbled, "Vector you are so dead."
………….
Below the waves a mighty tail beat down in the water. Clawed hands flexed bones popping with anticipation. His orange eyes could see through the murky depths of the ocean as if it were a clear day. Yet he still couldn't find his target. Bubbles erupted from Godzilla's mouth from pure annoyance. He hated the black moth's ability to hide auras. So far the crab had been much more patient than he thought possible and elusive. Luckily his energy had held out as well.
If humans weren't so close by he'd have blasted the place to kingdom come. Those action would all but rain down a storm of fire on his head. It would have also caused problems for his humans and Mothra as well. He fumed opting to just wait for his prey to come to him like his ancestors before him. But there was also something else bugging him. It was a soft pull coming from the north where he last sensed Mothras' aura. He could feel something else out there that was oddly familiar. He snarled as his instincts were telling him that a danger was in that area.
That's when he suddenly heard it. Godzilla looked at a pile of rocks in front him with a snarl. One of them moved in a way that made him tense up. Was the crab finally making his move? He rose up finding that the rocks were now still.
SKREEERONK
Godzilla's bellowing roar echoed across the water scaring all the living creatures around him. Including a pod of whales. Something wasn't right. The ocean current changed shifting in his direction. He caught the sudden smell of blood. Godzilla snarled taking a step forward his back spines flashing. Something started to move toward him and the monster king let out a low growl like a lion. Warning whatever was approaching that it was about to die. The figure came closer making Godzilla narrow his eyes as he made out the features of what was approaching him. Large pincers scrapped across the ground with ten bladed legs. A hard shell resembled the rocks around it.
The crab finally revealed itself and was being more bold than he expected. Godzilla roared as blue flames licked his lips steaming the water around him. He didn't hesitate and opened his mouth with a mighty roar he fired his atomic breath. It hit the opposing monster directly in the face. A combination of burning nuclear power and scalding water hit creating an explosion.
Godzilla cut off his attack looking at the steaming water with suspicion. Normally there was a scream of pain when he hit a kaiju with that much power. The crab was silent and feel over. He beat his tail down and slowly made his way to the smoking body. With a snarl he sniffed the water the smell of burnt blood lingering. He touched down on the rocky surface examining the body.
His eyes widen when he found that the crab's chest was blown apart along with the monster's head. Only there were no remains left over. No brain matter, no organs spilling out, and the blood he smelled was so minimal for a creature this size. This was nothing but a shell. His instincts began to scream at him to run away, but he was already to late. The rocks around him suddenly burst and Godzilla let a surprised roar that was cut off by a pincer slamming into his jaw. The sand blinded him, but he could still make out the glowing orange bulbous eyes and the screaming roar that came with it.
Ganimes let out a roar of excited joy that his plan worked. His newly hardened shell was twice as strong as the original and he was taking advantage of it. The rock crab began to pound on Godzilla's skull like it was a drum. The monster king responded by slashing at the crab only for his claws to bounce off his shell. Ganimes gurgling roar signaled his joy as he slammed into Godzilla.
The two spun each slamming the other into the ground. Ganimes shot acidic foam nailing Godzilla's shoulder. Godzilla screamed in pain as the foam made short work of scales getting to his soft tissue. Ganimes enjoyed the sound before stabbing his pincer into Godzilla's shoulder making him roar. He snarled his back spines coming to life as his eyes began to glow.
If the crab wanted to play this game then he would play too. He bit down on the crab's hard shell losing some of teeth in the process. He didn't care they would grow back in seconds. Power built and he unleashed his atomic breath point blank into the crab kaiju's shoulder. Ganimes roared from the impact as he was sent tumbling away. The crab tumbled threw the ocean before stopping himself. He managed to get the world to stop spinning just in time to see the raging form of Godzilla speeding at him with his fist raised and turning blue. Godzilla roared as he reared back for a nuclear punch.
……………….
Kubo found himself moving amongst the passengers inside the cabin many of whom were excited children with their parents. Some were eagerly running in and out of the cabin. Other stood with their parents eagerly listening to a tour guide as she explained what each part of the boat did. She stood next to a gruff looking man who was standing in front of the helm with a white cap that help Kubo tell he was the captain. He looked at the tour guide then to children with a happy smile before gesturing to a black object that sat in on a console.
"Would anyone like to see how the sonar works?" The captain asked receiving cheerful shouts from the children present.
Kubo smiled at that although it did mean there would be a line to get to the sonar. He silently prayed that none of the kids saw Godzilla before he did. He let out a sigh in an attempt to settle his racing nerves and leaned against the wall nonchalantly biding his time until enough children were gone for him to look over the sonar and if necessary have the captain take the boat back to the dock.
"Whale!" Someone shouted from outside.
The group of children quickly began running to the deck in excitement. Kubo raised an eyebrow they weren't that far out yet. He walked to the captain as the exiting kids made a clear path for him. When he looked out the window, and past the passengers, he managed to see the calming waves of the ocean. So he and everyone on board were shocked to see a large humpback jump out of the water in a full breach. The massive animal fell back into the sea only to continue jumping across the water. This was followed by several more humpbacks each of them jumping out of the water some of them bumping into each other as they fell.
"Whoa! They're really energetic today." the tour guide said.
"Are they always like this?" Kubo asked startling the woman he smiled awkwardly bowing his head in apology.
"No, this is the first I've seen them do that," The captain said with a raised eyebrow, "And I've never seen them breach like this either."
"If you ask me it looks like they're running from something." A crewman said.
The tour guided snorted back a laugh, "They're the biggest things in the water what could they possibly have to run from?"
Kubo felt a shiver going down his spine as an aching feeling began to rise in his chest. It was confirmed when Moll started to spring in his pocket. 'Kubo!'
Kubo looked at the sonar finding a dot to be quickly approaching them. He looked at the captain of the ship with wide eyes, "Sir you have to turn this boat around right now."
"Dude what are you talking about?" The tour guide asked.
"Son if you're worried about us crashing into a whale I can assure you that I've been stirring boats before you could even walk." The captain spoke with great pride in his voice.
"You don't understand I'm with the G-team," Kubo quickly pulled out his wallet and ID badge. The captain eyes grew wide and Kubo caught the spark of fear in them. The tour guide let out a hysterical laugh as she looked at Kubo.
"You're with the G-team? So what there's some kind of..." Her voice trailed off as she looked at the ocean, "What is that?"
"Oh no." Kubo said as the ocean began to rumble.
"Dear God." The captain whispered as the ocean began to rise with a large form.
………….
On the stern of the boat Shinning Armor gulped as he clutched pocket. Cadance wasn't paying attention and was just looking out at the water. A thousand thoughts were going through his head. What were the right words? Was this too soon? He hasn't even graduated the police academy yet. Could he even afford this? What if she says no? That thought stung him the most.
"Come on, Shinning Armor! If you can handle four years of Crystal Prep and Cinch then you can handle this." He whispered to himself. He mentally prepared himself holding the box in his pocket.
"Cad-"
"Hey some whales just jumped out of the water!" Someone shouted.
Cadance turned to him with bright eyes, "Let's go see Shiny!" She then quirked a curious eyebrow as she looked at her boyfriend. Shinning Armor looked like a deflating balloon as his entire body began to sag.
"You're not sea sick, are you?" She asked with slight worry.
Shinning Armor quickly snapped back to life with a smile and laugh, "No of course not."
"Then let's go!" Cadance said with a massive amount of pep that a former cheerleader could muster. She wrapped an arm around Shinning Armor and began to pull him along. Shinning Armor felt his heart about to leap out of his chest when she got closer to him. She smelt so wonderful and her laugh was still so cute. It was one of the many reasons he loved her. And was she purposefully putting his arm against her breast? He looked at her and Cadance stared back at him with a blushing smile and playfully batted her soft pink eyes in a way that always drove him nuts.
'Ah screw it.'
Shinning Armor stopped walking making Cadance stop as well she looked at him quizzically. Shinning Armor took a deep breath and looked at the woman that stole his heart so many years ago. The woman that every member of family loved just as much as him. The woman who helped his little sister when he couldn't.
"Cadance, I love you."
"I love you too, Shiny." Cadance said with a smile.
"No, I mean I really love you." Shinning Armor reached into his pocket, "Since the day you came into my homeroom to run for student president I knew right then and there that you were the one for me."
"Wow that was so long ago. Although I do remember you being the only person to give me a standing ovation." Cadance said with a blushing smile as she moved a strand of hair from her face, "I think that's the day I fell in love too. Although seeing how cute you were with Twilight back then really confirmed it."
"Twilight loves you just as much as I do. She told me you're like her big sister." Shinning Armor said managing to get an adorable squeal from Cadance. She was so excited she didn't notice Shinning Armor pull out a small black box. "We all love you so much."
Once Cadance calmed down and opened her eyes she saw what Shinning Armor was holding in his hands. She gasped holding her hands over her mouth. "Shiny?" She felt eyes becoming wet when Shinning Armor dropped to one knee.
Shining Armor opened the box revealing the ring his mother wore, "Cadance will you...."
Shinning Armor trailed off as he stood back up. Cadance looked at him confused by the sudden stop. His eyes grew wide as stared past her. Cadance turned to see what he was looking at and she gasped looking at the sea. The water began to swell and rise as a large form began to rise.
"Oh my God." Shinning Armor said as he reached for Cadance.
………….
"That's a lot of whales." Silver Spoon said as she stared longingly at the ocean.
"Silver Spoon, my mom and dad can just rent the boat and give us a private tour." Diamond Tiara said, "Now come over here and help with the moat."
Diamond Tiara stood next to a fully constructed sandcastle one that suited her namesake. It looked like something from the middle ages constructed entirely out of sand. She stared at it up and down, "I think the east side wall needs a little more development."
Silver Spoon looked at the large sandcastle in awe. Her friend was kind of bossy but she was really good at construction as well giving directions. "Okay....but can we at least ask your mom about the whale tour?"
"Alright." Diamond Tiara said as she began constructing her castle with a determined look.
"Let's move it ladies!" A sudden hyperactive raspy voice called out. Before the Diamond Tiara knew it she was bumped into her castle by a blur of motion. For a moment Sliver Spoon was convinced it was Rainbow Dash who ran by but when the older girl stopped she saw the blue hair and goggles resting on her head. Her gold eyes had an overly energetic shine to them. Her thunderbolt earrings tangled as she bounced in her blue bikini. She held a massive yellow surf board with a lightning bolt insignia on the front.
Diamond Tiara rose up from her destroyed castle and looked at the girl angrily as her face became red, "Hey watch whe….mmff!"
"I'm coming Indigo!" Another girl in a lemon yellow bikini came running stepping on Diamond Tiara without noticing. Her green hair flowed reflecting her wild nature. She had a lemon colored surfboard and met the color named Indigo in a tight embrace that was met with a passionate kiss.
"There's the Lemon now how about a little Zest?" Indigo said with a coy smile and wiggling brows making Lemon Zest giggle.
"Do you have to make that stupid joke every time?" Another girl called. Silver Spoon saw three more girls coming her way each of them looking familiar. The first girl was in a rose colored one piece her magenta hair had a green streak through it and was tied into a pony tail. Her freckled face was flopping between annoyed or bored.
"They only do it because they know it annoys you, Sour Sweet." A girl with silver hair that matched Silver Spoon's said. Her hair was tied into pigtails and she pushed her red glasses up the bridge of her nose. She was the only one not in a swimsuit instead she was just in sandals, shorts, and a yellow t-shirt. Which caused Indigo and Lemon to groan.
"Sugarcoat, why aren't you wearing your bikini?!" Indigo shouted.
"Yeah we picked it out just for you!" Lemon said with a pout.
Sugarcoat's face became dark as she pushed her glasses up, "Because that 'bikini' was the skimpiest thing I'd ever seen. The only reason you two idiots bought it was so that you could gawk at me."
Rather than deny it Indigo and Lemon held wide grins with giggles, "Guilty." They both said playfully sticking their tongues out. Sugarcoat snarled looking at the two girls as a vein popped in her head.
"You two are just sweetest couple." Sour Sweet said with a smile that then turned into a scowl, "For a couple of perverts!"
"Will all of you shut up!" The final girl shouted as she got in between Sugar Coat and Sour Sweet. Her light purple hair was tied back. She had on a purple jacket over her violet swimsuit. She held an elegance and beauty that reminded Silver Spoon of Sweetie Belle's sister.
"What's got you so hyped up Sunny Flare?" Indigo said as Sunny Flare scanned the beach.
"Vignette Valencia is some where on this beach!" Sunny Flare exclaimed as she held out her phone to the group. Silver Spoon looked to and saw a woman in the sand taking a selfie. "She just posted this on Snap Gap! That means some where on this beach is the biggest model on the planet!"
"Hear we go." Sugarcoat said rolling her eyes.
"I just need three seconds with her and it's goodbye Canterlot hello spotlight! Modeling agencies calling me, movie deals, all that and more!" Sunny Flare had a wide grin on her face as her eyes shined. She couldn't stop herself from giggling and rubbing her cheeks like an excited child. Silver Spoon stared at the girls trying to recognize them as she could feel it at the tip of her tongue.
"Excuse me!" A muffled voice managed to call out. The girls looked down and found the ground under them moving. They moved out of the way and found a small body rise up from the ground. Diamond Tiara roared as she broke free of the sand although when it feel off it made the girl look like she had large beard. Silver Spoon bit her lip to keep herself from laughing but a few snickers still managed to get out. Diamond shot a stone breaking glare to her friend that silenced her. Diamond Tiara knocked the beard off her face then went back to glaring at the girls who buried her. Her eyes widened in recognition as she looked at the older girls in front of her.
"Hey your those Shadowbolt dorks from the Friendship Games!"
A vein popped in Indigo Zap's forehead as she grit her teeth, "Dorks?"
The rest of the Crystal Prep girls glared daggers at Diamond that she quickly returned. There staring contest was cut off by a loud gasps from Silver Spoon. Diamond Tiara sighed looking at her friend, "Silver Spoon, what have I told you about interrupting me when I'm telling people off?"
"Wha-Wha-What is that?!" Silver Spoon screamed pointing to the ocean.
Diamond Tiara and Crystal Prep girls looked at the where Silver Spoon was pointing. Their eyes becoming wide as they looked at the ocean. Everyone else on the beach stopped what they were doing and looked at the ocean. Murmurs turned into scared shouts as a form began to rise from the ocean.
Diamond felt her heart racing and her knees feeling weak. Her eyes were pinpricks as she stared at the rising waves and the roar that followed them.
"KAIJU!"
……………….
Kubo sneered at how stupid he was. He should have had told Akiko and the others about his bad feeling from the start. He should have known Midnight wouldn't have let the girls go that easily. He should have know that she would have sent more of her monsters to find them.
"Ganimes." Kubo spoke with a hiss.
Ganimes let out a gurgling roar as he slammed his pincers into the ocean creating massive waves. The boat rocked with each passing wave. The people on board screamed as they lost their balance. Kubo caught the sound of children crying out for their parents.
"We have to turn this boat around now!" Kubo shouted to the still shell shocked captain and crew.
"We can't get away from that thing." The tour guide said with tears running down her face, "This isn't how I wanted to die."
The rest of the crew seemed to be following her lead as they stared at the giant crab kaiju. Kubo grit his teeth with annoyance as he looked at them. He knew faces like that all to well. They were stuck in a state of disbelief and hopelessness. As they know saw how small they were compared to the actual world around them.
'Kubo I think he sees us.' Moll's voice nervously spoke in his head.
Kubo looked to find Ganimes staring at the boat. To those on board it felt like the monster was looking at them, but Kubo could feel the orange orbs staring directly at him. The monsters mandibles twitched as he stared at the boat. If he was capable Kubo was sure that the kaiju would be smiling. Ganimes roared as he began to rush at them. Kubo cursed under his breath trying to think of something.
Luckily that something came when the water behind the boat bubbled and flashed. The water burst causing a ripple in the boat. The roar that came after shattered glass and nearly ruptured eardrums. Kubo looked up as the world became dark. Black scales blocked out the sun the only light source was from a blue glow that to the world was famous for death and destruction. Yet Kubo couldn't help but smile.
"You really know how to make an entrance Big Guy!" He shouted over the roar of Godzilla.
The monster king had fully breached from the water. His claws stretching out like a jungle cat with his teeth barred. Blue flames licking his lips. Parts of his body screamed in pain from Ganimes last attack. He ignored it and kept his focus on his target. Ganimes had stopped dead in the water with wide eyes.
"Hang onto something!" Kubo shouted to anyone that would listen to him.
When Godzilla connected to Ganimes the two fell into the water with the power of several bombs. The water rose in a explosion of power. Kubo held onto a nearby wall gritting his teeth. He heard a scream and noticed that the tour guide was falling toward him. He reached his hand out and quickly grabbed her.
"I was just doing this until I got my liquor license." She shouted as she held onto Kubo, "Why is life so unfair?!"
"Hey what's your name?" Kubo managed to say over the roars of the monsters.
"Berry Punch." The tour guide managed to sniffle out.
"Okay then Berry I'm going to need you to calm down." Kubo said.
"Are you kidding me?!" Berry Punch shouted incredulously, "There are two giant monster duking it out and you just want me to calm down!"
"Well yeah." Kubo said with a calming smile that was met with a deadpan stare. He sighed before the sound of children screaming caught his attention. Some were running across the galley while calling for their parents. One child was just staring at the dueling titans with horrified tears in his eyes. The adults weren't helping as they shoved each other out of the way knocking others to the ground. "Look I know what I'm saying sounds crazy, but if you want to make it through this you have to stay calm. Not just for your sake, but for them too."
Berry looked at the running crowd and was sadden to see the crying children.
"Right now Godzilla is the only thing keeping Ganimes from smashing us to pieces." Kubo said looking at the fight.
Godzilla was firing his atomic breath into Ganimes pushing the him back, but the crab was still managing to hold his own. As the atomic flames were cut off Ganimes quickly rushed Godzilla, who met him with a nuclear punch that rattled the crab's skull. Ganimes countered by slamming his pincer into Godzilla's snout. Godzilla let out a muffled roar as his jaws were held shut by the pincer. The two kaiju grappled as Godzilla held back one pincer while trying to pry the other off his mouth.
"But we can help him too." Kubo said.
"How?" A crew member asked looking at Kubo with desperate eyes.
"By getting these people out of here. As soon as we're out of the way Godzilla can go all out and turn that over grown crab into a patty." Kubo said.
"How do you know that?" The captain asked.
Kubo looked at the crew then to the battle. Godzilla was still grappling with Ganimes, but he managed to look over his shoulder. With everyone screaming and running it was hard to notice the change in Godzilla's eyes. But Kubo managed to catch it. Battle hardened eyes changed to a soft caring stare as the monster king looked to boat of humans. Out of those present he managed to pinpoint the one he cared about.
Human and monster stared into each others eyes with a calm understanding. Kubo nodded his head and Godzilla snarled looking back to Ganimes. With all of his strength Godzilla ripped Ganimes' pincer off his snout, taking skin with it. He let out a thundering roar as he pushed the crab away.
Kubo smiled looking back to the crew, "Because he's my friend and I trust him with my life."
The boat crew looked at him with analyzing eyes. Kubo was praying that they would listen to him. To his surprise the captain let out a hardy laugh as he pulled on his beard. He looked to his crew and they all started laughing as well, "Kid you are crazy." The captain said Kubo sigh putting his head down, "Luckily you're sailing with a crazy crew!"
Kubo perked his head up finding that the crew all had eager smiles. The captain looked to his crew with eager eyes as they started cheering, "I hope you all haven't gotten rusty since our crabbing days boys!"
"No sir!" The crew shouted as one.
"Isn't it ironic that it's a crab trying to kill us?" One of the crew members asked.
"We can get into philosophical discussions later. For now we have a boat to save! Start leading everyone to the gallery. Berry quit feeling up solider boy and pass out the life jackets!" The captain shouted with a commanding voice.
Berry looked at Kubo finding that she was holding him tightly and blushed. She let go of him then looked to the captain and the rest of the crew. She then looked to the fighting monsters and shook, "You really trust him?"
"Yeah." Kubo said.
Berry sighed slapping her cheeks and went to the storage bin. She pulled out life jackets and started following the crew as they began to calm down the passengers. Kubo looked at how they moved with amazed eyes. It felt oddly similar to how his team worked.
'We should help too.' Moll said.
'You're right. Where's Mothra?'
'She flew off. I think she's trying to help Godzilla.' Moll said with concern.
Kubo watched the fighting titans spotting a small figure flying over their heads. He let out a hard sigh, "Of course."
'Call her back I feel like we're going to need her help.' Kubo said.
'I'll try.' Moll said.
"Hey soldier boy either get to the galley with Berry or get ready to hold onto something! Because we're about to go for a ride!" The captain shouted with an eager laugh. He began to spin the wheel and Kubo felt the boat lurch. Even over the roars of the monsters he could hear the boats engine coming to life. "I've been waiting for an excuse to let this baby purr."
Kubo stumbled as the ship rocked with the waves. Moll poked her head out with a look of surprise on her face, 'He's really into this.'
"I'll say!" Kubo said as the boat leaned.
"This reminds me of when I was a boy back in Scotland looking for Nessie! By the way the names Rockhoof!" The captain shouted as a wide boyish smile crossed his face.
"Nice to meet you!" Kubo managed to say with a wavering grin. A loud roar from Godzilla was all the signal Kubo managed to get. A brief flash caught his eye, "Rockhoof can you speed this thing up?!"
"You're starting to become my new best friend!" Rockhoof said with a laugh. His laugh was cut short by a massive explosion. The boat was caught on the waves that proceeded it. Rockhoof was nearly blinded by the harsh light. "What was that?!"
"Nuclear pulse." Kubo said looking over his shoulder. Godzilla's body was smoking as his eyes held a harsh blue shine. Blue smoke vented from his nostrils. Ganimes let out a moan as flames danced around his body. Godzilla held his pincer in a vice grip as he pulled the monster back up. With a snarl Godzilla delivered a hard punch that sent the crab reeling the monster king quickly grabbed the his pincer and pulled him up again. Godzilla began to punch the crab repeatedly each blow making Ganimes roar in pain.
"Get him Big Guy." Kubo said with a smile.
"Hey soldier boy, the others could use your help with the crowd." Rockhoof said over his shoulder.
Kubo nodded and left the captain to his own devices. Kubo made his way out finding that that the crew were all still trying to get people to move down to the gallery. The sound of crying caught his attention and he found a boy in a teal t-shirt with small turtles and shorts standing in the middle of the crowd with his hands to his face. He quickly went to the child's side.
"Hey," He softly said to the boy who wouldn't stop shaking, "This really is scary isn't it?"
"I can't find my mom." The boy softly cried.
Kubo lightly smiled and ruffled his turquoise colored hair, "What's your name kid?"
"Sandbar." He softly spoke moving his hands from his face.
"My name's Kubo. I'm a member of the G-team." Kubo said with friendly smile.
"You're one of the people who fight monsters." Sandbar spoke softly looking at Kubo.
"Yeah but first I'm going to help you find your mom." Kubo said with a smile as he held out a his hand.
Sandbar looked at Kubo with reluctance but Kubo kept his smile. Sandbar slowly held a shaky hand up only to bring them to his ears when the monsters began to roar again. Fear was coursing through his body like a disease. He couldn't bring his body to move.
CHEERUNT!!
Sandbar yelped when he suddenly felt something hit his back pushing him into the soldier in front of him. Sandbar looked over his shoulder and let out a horrified cry at the sight before him. A hawk sized bug was staring at him. Its blue eyes glowed softly as it quirked its head.
"Mothra that wasn't very nice." Kubo said in a scolding tone.
"Mothra?" Sandbar said as he looked at the moth. Mothra chirped to the child and it made him cling to Kubo tighter. Kubo sighed and looked down to his pocket then to Sandbar.
"Don't worry Mothra isn't bad." Kubo said looking at the moth with some annoyance, "She can just be a little impatient."
Mothra's antenna fell as her head drooped. Kubo gently pat his pocket as he gripped Sandbar tightly. Sandbar felt the warmth coming off Kubo and it made his guard drop. Kubo held Sandbar tightly as he stood back up looking around the group of people still running around on the deck. His eyes widen in recognition and he took off with Sandbar in his arms.
"Hey Berry!"
Berry Punch looked up from directing people to the gallery. Her eyes nearly popped out her head when she saw Mothra flying behind Kubo. He quickly ran up to her and put a hand over her mouth. "Okay TL;DR the moth is with me and have you seen anyone that resembles this kid?"
He held up Sandbar to the confused Berry Punch. She moved Kubo's hand from her mouth as she took a deep breath. She studied Sandbar for a moment, "I think I saw a woman with hair like his calling out for her son she was caught up in the crowd and pushed to the gallery."
"Thanks." Kubo said with a smile and nod before taking off. Mothra chirped at her as she flew off behind Kubo leaving Berry Punch utterly confused.
"You know animals aren't allowed on board." Berry Punch called after him.
"Sorry!" Kubo called from over his shoulder as kept a steady run. Kubo managed to maneuver around the crowd of screaming people like he was a drop of water. He kept Sandbar close to his chest the entire time. For his part Sandbar had slightly calmed down although he was still horrified about what was going on, but being around Kubo was still calming to him.
Kubo scanned the people he passed trying to find some resemblance to Sandbar. This was going to take way to long and with everyone panicking it was hard to pick out the sound of someone calling out for their child. If he could just figure out what she looked like it would make things easier. 'Wait a second.'
"Sandbar this is going to sound a little weird but can I look inside your head?"
"Huh?" Sandbar looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Just think about your mom okay. Only think about her." Kubo instructed.
"Okay."
"Alright, Moll connect us." Kubo said.
'Right!' Moll's soft voice went through Sandbar's head. The boy yelped and clung to Kubo tighter at the sudden voice spilling into his head. 'Don't be afraid I'm one of Kubo's friends. Now just do what Kubo said and think about your mother.'
Moll's voice was so soft and calming that Sandbar did as she said despite how weird it was. Sandbar took a small breath and started thinking about everyone moment he was with his mother. Her bright smile and hair that matched his own.
Kubo could feel his memories flowing into his head with Moll's help. A smile formed across his face, "Thanks Sandbar."
With an image of Sandbar's mother know fully planted into his head this was going to be much easier. He started to look around the crowd of people suddenly spotting a woman with features that matched Sandbar's mother. She had a desperate look on her face as she was being pulled by the crowd. She looked to be scanning the crowds and trying to stop but each time she did someone pushed her to keep walking. She was starting to disappear down a flight of steps. He gripped Sandbar tightly in his arms and started picking up the pace.
Kubo maneuvered through the crowds of people, it also helped that seeing Mothra caused people move out of the way. He rushed down the steps finding the gallery that everyone was being lead to. Kubo moved inside finding that the room was spacious enough for everyone on board to wait out the fight safely. He also spotted some of Rockhoof's crew calling for people to remain calm and handing out life jackets.
His eyes scanned over the people inside and he managed to spot the person he was looking for. Sandbar's mother looked like she was trying to get past a crowd of people pouring in from another entrance but was being pushed back. He gently sat Sandbar on the ground with a small smile. He dropped to a knee looking Sandbar in the eye, "Looks like this is where we part ways."
Sandbar looked at Kubo with frightened eyes and flinched when a roar from Godzilla echoed. Kubo gently pat him on the shoulder and Mothra appeared on his shoulder her antenna twitching as she let out small chirps. She gently crawled up to Sandbar and knelt her head down.
"Don't worry my friends and I are going to protect you." Kubo said with a smile as he gestured to Mothra. Sandbar slowly moved his hand forward and touched the moth's head. A small smile crossing his face as Mothra cooed. "Now go on to your mother. Oh and one last thing."
Sandbar had wide eyes when he noticed the small woman poking her head out of Kubo's pocket. She smiled and waved at him. Kubo held a finger to his lips with a smile and wink, "Mind keeping Moll a secret between us?"
"You got it." Sandbar said with a smile.
"Thanks." Kubo held up his fist to Sandbar, who looked at him confused, "Well don't leave me hanging. Once we tap fist it means that we're true friends."
Sandbar had a wide smile as he bumped his fist with Kubo. He had a giddy laugh as he ran off to his mother. Kubo watched Sandbar run to his mother, who turned with teary eyes. She scooped her son into her arms as she cried tears of joy. Kubo watched them a smile. Sandbar held his mother tightly as he cried into her shoulder. The boy managed to lift his head up and offer a thankful smile to Kubo, who immediately returned it. As he turned to leave he was suddenly met by two familiar faces. Shinning Armor was holding a slightly shell shocked Cadance to his side.
"Well this is a surprise." Shinning Armor said.
"Looks like I got my wish." Cadance's voice was a mixture of excitement and fear. Her eyes then wandered to the large moth currently sitting on Kubo's shoulder.
"Look you I'll let you pet and hold Mothra later, but for now I need you guys to stay here." Kubo said starting to head out.
"What are you going to do?" Shinning Armor asked.
"Still trying to work that part out." Kubo said as he left them behind.
Kubo found that the crowds were starting to get smaller as more people filled into the gallery. When he stepped out he found Berry Punch following a final group. She nervously looked at him, but he managed to give her a confident look.
"Close these doors behind you and get everyone into one space." Kubo said.
"What about you?" She asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about me." Kubo said before taking off to the steps.
Kubo quickly went to the stern of the boat finding it to be fully empty he managed to get a better look at the battle. Godzilla was keeping Ganimes on the ropes as he repeatedly battered the monster crab with his nuclear punches. His back spines were beginning to power up as he get got ready to blast the Ganimes again.
"This is going too well." Kubo said to himself.
"Kubo!" Moll's head popped out of his pocket and Mothra raised her wings in concern.
"There it is." Kubo said with a sigh.
"The camp where the others are I can sense something there. No....no....that's impossible." Moll said with sweat dripping down her face.
"Moll what's going on?" Kubo asked.
His eyes widened when he saw that Godzilla had stopped attacking Ganimes. His head turning to the east. The lizard's eyes widening in surprise.
"It's Anguirus!" Moll said, "And he's attacking the others!"
"What?!" Kubo said with surprise. His mind was running with so many questions. Why was Anguirus here? Why was he attacking the others? How was Hikari?
"Godzilla watch out!" Moll shouted that was mixed by a shrill cry from Mothra.
Kubo watched with horror as he saw Ganimes regaining his composure. Godzilla still had his head turned and was only now starting to notice. Only for it to be to late as Ganimes started to gurgle. The rock crab's mouth opened and a stream of foam burst from the back of his throat. It hit Godzilla directly in his eyes. The monster king howled as the foam started to sizzle across his face.
"GODZILLA!" Kubo shouted.
Ganimes rammed the monster king in the chest pushing the two under the ocean. The waves pushed the boat along but Kubo clung to the edge looking into the water try to find the monster king.
……………..
Beneath the waves Godzilla continued to scream in pain as the foam burned his eyes. It was hard to tell which was worse the pain racing through his skull or the slow loss of vision as the foam ate away at his eyes. The pain brought him to the point that he couldn't sense Ganimes coming at him like a torpedo. He slammed a pincer into Godzilla as he sped by taking a piece of Godzilla's skin with him. Godzilla roared in horrible pain and lashed out with atomic breath that hit nothing. Ganimes screeched as he rammed Godzilla again. He repeated the process several times cutting Godzilla like he was a turkey.
The rock crab gurgled with malicious glee as he began to come up with another attack. Godzilla was starting to sink to the bottom in a pained daze as the acidic foam continued to eat away at his skin and muscle slowly starting to reveal white bone. Ganimes swam at horrifying speed and slammed into Godzilla's chest knocking the wind out of his lungs. The two slammed into the ocean floor, Ganimes made sure to shove Godzilla's raw skin into several sharpened rocks as they landed. His sharpened legs stabbed into Godzilla's ribcage causing him to cough up blood as he roared in pain. Ganimes began to gurgle as foam built into his throat he stared at the king's heaving chest with glee.
He spewed the foam from his mouth coating Godzilla's chest with acid. Godzilla screamed in pain as his chest was eaten away by acid revealing soft pink muscle tissue, bone, and a beating heart. A gleeful roar escaped his mandibles as he raised his pincer high before bringing it down. Godzilla let out a gasping roar as blood escaped his jaws. He grabbed at Ganimes pincer with both arms. With what little power he had Godzilla began to force Ganimes pincer from his chest.
Ganimes roared his face and opened his claw cutting one of his arteries. Godzilla felt the strength start to leave his body as he hands started to go limp. They feel at his sides just as Ganimes ripped his pincer free. He held the bloody claw in the air as he stood over Godzilla's body letting out a victorious roar.
He suddenly felt a small pulse in his head.
'Excellent work Ganimes! I am very pleased.' Midnight's voice echoed in his head, 'Enjoy the fruits of your reward.'
A purple sun appeared across the crab's chest. An inverted cross took shape in side of it. When it disappeared a brown aura took over the crabs body. Ganimes roared with a glorious glee at feeling his power restored.
'That's right enjoy your full power and use it to crush parasites and there ungodly city. But first I believe you have unfinished business with that orange pest.' Midnight said with a hint of venom in her voice.
Ganimes gurgled in both understanding and joy. He looked down at the gasping Godzilla and roared in a show of dominance into his face. He then jumped up and took off to the surface leaving Godzilla to lie at the bottom of the ocean. The monster king let out a tired roar as air left his body.
What little vision he had left was starting to fade into darkness.
………………….
Kubo continued to look over the water looking for any sign of Godzilla. He clicked his tongue in impatience. Mothra began to flutter her wings as Moll gasped. Tears fell from the younger Elias as her body shook.
"No."
"Moll what's-" Kubo felt the boat suddenly rock.
A clawed hand rose from the water gripping boat tightly. They were taken into the air as Ganimes rose from the water. He held the boat as if it were a toy. The crab kaiju looked down at the human clinging to the edge.
Kubo looked at the crab with hard eyes, "So you remember what happened the last time we met don't you crab cake?"
Ganimes let out a snarling roar in response and began to add pressure. A loud chirp suddenly caught the crab off guard along with a rainbow burst. Mothra flew in front of the kaiju crab. Ganimes roared in annoyance trying to swat at her with his free claw. Mothra's attack did little more than annoy the kaiju, but it still got his attention.
"Moll hang on." Kubo said gripping the side of the boat.
Mothra roared at him trying to distract the crab or at least trick him into putting the boat down. Suddenly a great pain went through Mothra's body. Her main body was going through a rough battle. It felt like her head was being spilt open.
"MOTHRA!" Moll shouted as she watched the guardian kaiju freeze up in the sky, "Kubo she's hurt!"
"There's not much we can do right now Moll!" Kubo said as he tried to move to a safer location.
Ganimes growled as he took advantage of the bugs weakened state. He smacked her out of the sky and into the water. Moll screamed in horror, but it was unheard over the roar of Ganimes. His claws began to crush the sides of the boat. He looked at Kubo as he tried to get away a gurgling laugh coming from his gullet. Like scissors going through paper Ganimes snapped the boat in half.
"Hang on!" Kubo shouted as he pulled Moll out of his pocket and held her tightly to his chest. The pieces of the boat tumbled in the air. Kubo felt himself leaving the floor of the boat. He tried grabbing at the railing only to miss it. He saw himself fast approaching the water. He gripped Moll to his chest and positioned himself in midair so that his back was facing the water. "This is going to hurt a lot."
Kubo hit the water back first and cried out in pain. Water quickly took over his vision as he started to sink. Pain was canceling out his basic skills causing his body to go limp. His vision was starting to get blurry as water went into his body. His lungs were demanding air as they burned. He began losing feeling throughout his body. He felt something tugging on him. When he looked he found Moll trying to pull on his shirt in clearly trying to keep him moving. Only his body would not allow it and he started to sink further into the ocean.
He started to think back remembering a promise he made. A promise to his best friend. Kubo hated the feeling of guilt that was building in his chest.
'Hikari.'
His vision went black.
……….
Camp Everfree
……….
"Lora?" Akiko asked worriedly getting the attention of Hikari and Sunset.
She brought Lora to Hikari who began to gently rub the her back. Lora started to shake as her eyes widened. "No that's not possible!"
"Lora what's wrong?" Hikari said with worry.
Lora looked to the group with teary eyes as her lip quivered. Her aura disappeared as her skin began to pale, "I can't sense Moll, Godzilla....or Kubo!"
Everyone gasped as there eyes became wide. Adagio dropped to her knees as tears started to fall from her face. Hikari looked at Lora with disbelief as she fell back. Akiko felt a huge pain in her chest as she tried catching her breath. Sunset felt her world becoming dark as a cold shiver ran down her spine.
"She was telling the truth."
Sunset heard Adagio's whimpers finding the elder Siren was holding her face in her hands.
"Kubo's dead!" Adagio cried.
"No he's not!" Sunset shouted it was painful to move but she went to Adagio's side and grabbed her shoulders. She looked into Adagio's tear filled eyes, "Midnight is just trying to scare us. There's no way Kubo would up and die like that!"
Adagio just stared at her with a quivering lip and tears continued to fall from her face. Sunset could hear the hard sobs of Lora as she wept. Hikari was struggling to keep her own emotions in check as she clenched her teeth.
"He...he can't be dead." Sunset looked at Hikari. Hikari stared back at her and the tears fell like a water fall. Sunset could almost fell Hikari's pain seeping into her as tears started to form around her face. Lora sniffled as she turned her head to look at Sunset.
"I....I....was searching for them the moment Midnight said Kubo was killed." Lora said with shaky breaths as her tears fell, "Right now at the beach I could can feel Ganimes attacking everything in sight. It won't be long before he attacks the city. I tried to find Godzilla and when I did I could barely recognize his aura. It was so low he was in so much pain. He's dying."
Sunset felt her breath leave at those words.
"Then I called out to Kubo and Moll but neither of them would answer me. I kept trying but they wouldn't answer me I used every bit of aura I had to reach them but they wouldn't answer." Lora said, "They're gone...my sister is gone!"
Lora broke down in in tear filled sobs that were soon joined by Hikari. Sunset felt her hands shake as she looked at Adagio. She was on the verge of collapsing. Sunset pulled herself into Adagio and the two broke down in sobs that echoed through out the cave.
"They're not gone!" Akiko voice erupted causing the women to fall silent. Akiko stood in between them huffing her eyes were reddened and it was clear she was trying to hold back her tears. Yet Akiko still managed to stand strong. She gently knelt down wiping Lora's tears and gently stroking Hikari's hair. "They're not gone."
"Aki." Hikari managed to squeak out through her tears.
Akiko gently put her head against Hikaris' as she continued to cry. She stroked Lora's head with her thumb straitening out of her hair. "Kubo and Moll aren't dead. Godzilla wouldn't let that happen. You two should no that better then anyone." She softly spoke.
Hikari sniffled wiping away a tear, "Right."
Lora looked up at Akiko tear still passing through her eyes. A thought suddenly occurring to her, "Godzilla wouldn't let anything happen to them."
"Yeah, Godzilla wouldn't lose to that overgrown crab cake." Akiko said looking at Lora with confident smile, "He just needs a second wind and he'll be back up so none of you worry." She looked to the still crying forms of Sunset and Adagio. She looked at Hikari with a small smile before kissing her forehead and walking over to the Equestrians, "Girls everything is going to be okay."
She gently pat there heads with a smile before pulling them into her shoulders. She gently shushed them like a loving mother. Hikari couldn't bring herself to move as she still felt her eyes watering again. Lora looked at Hikari and the girls as she wiped away a tear from her eye. She took a breath trying to calm herself as her face grew in fierce determination.
"Hikari could you put me down please." Lora softly said. The scientist complied not thinking about what Lora was doing. The Elder made sure her coughs were soft enough not to be heard. She looked at her hand finding blood resting in her hand. "I don't have much power left but I have to do this."
"What was that Lora?" Hikari asked.
Lora looked at her with a smile, "Akiko is right. Godzilla just needs a second wind and I'm going to be the one to give it to him."
"How?" Hikari asked.
Lora held a small smile as her body began to glow. Electricity sparked in her hands and she began to carve into the rocks. Adagio and Sunset slowly started to settle down and watched Lora. Akiko raised an eyebrow as Lora continued to carve into the cave floor. When she was finally finished Lora panted as she looked at her handy work.
The symbol of Mothra was carved into the cave floor.
She softly smiled at it although it was short lived. Her eyes widened and she clutched her sides. Lora dropped to her knees as she began to cough violently. Blood flew from her mouth making Hikari and Akiko gasp in shock. Lora looked at the puddle with hard eyes before looking to Akiko and Hikari.
"My aura is almost depleted. To you humans it's like overextending a muscle." Lora weakly said with a smile, "It looks like I went overboard with my shields, but I'm glad I kept you safe Akiko."
"Lora, whatever you're doing, please stop." Akiko said.
Lora shook her head with a smile as she took shaky steps into the symbol. She looked at her friends as memories went through her head of every moment she spent with them, "I love all of you so much." Lora softly spoke as she looked at them, "Kubo does too that's why he protects us. Now I'm going to return the favor."
She clasped her hands together as she knelt down as if in prayer.
"Buy calling Godzilla myself."
"But you and Moll say that uses so much energy!" Akiko said.
"Plus Godzilla only listen to Moll. Remember all of the test we ran? We concluded that unless Moll is helping he barely understands you." Hikari said.
"I know, I know this is a stupid idea that will probably get me killed." Lora said closing her eyes as her remaining aura began to build around her, "But I'm a member of the G-team and dumb ideas like this are our specialty."
She looked at Hikari and Akiko with a wide smile, "I love you."
Her words were followed by a soft hum as her body glowed brightly. Her aura followed into the symbol. It soon began to engulf Lora in a green light. Everyone present had to shield their eyes from the intensity of the light. Akiko's words went unheard as Lora's voice flowed around them like a soft wind.
"I know you can barely understand, but still I call to you. I beg of you please save them. Save not just those who I love but those who you love. I know your body is pain but you must move, you must move because only you can save them. So please move.... "
………………..
"GODZILLA!"
It was soft like the other who would call. He could barely understand what it was saying, but could hear the desperation. Was this the other one that would try calling him? He could barely see it, but he saw the flickering green aura. It really was just like the blue aura that would call to him.
The blue one! Where was he? And his human?
He opened his eyes only to roar in pain as he did so. They still suffered from the effects of the acid. His vision was blurred moving his head was an effort. Yet he had to do it he needed to find them.
"Please save them."
Were they in danger?
"Please save them."
He tried moving but even breathing was becoming difficult. His chest was in so much pain and the world was getting darker. His body was so cold. He was healing so slow yet he could still taste his own blood.
"Save them Godzilla!
His eyes snapped open he let out a snarl. He ignored the pain and lifted his arm. He could feel his heart starting to slow. With swift motion he jammed his hand into his chest and gripped his heart. Godzilla grit his teeth and began to squeeze on down his heart. He sent his energy into his arm. He hit his heart with all the power he could muster. He hated doing this because it left him in tremendous pain afterward, but it was worth it. Godzilla could feel his damaged heart starting to regenerate faster than before. He had to save them.
………………..
On the surface Shinning Armor clutched to Cadance as the remnants of the ship shook. Everyone on board was screaming as water started to pour in. He had no idea what happened to Kubo, but after seeing what that crab did to the boat he feared the worst for him. It was just luck, if you could call it that, that the kaiju left them for the shore.
"I think the boat is starting to settle." Cadance said.
Shinning Armor looked around noticing that things were starting to calm down. Or at least as calm as a snapped in half ship full of screaming children could be. He let go of Cadance, but didn't let go of her hand, as he made his way to the crushed midsection. It still sparked from being sliced in half. He looked at the other half of the boat and found that it was starting to sink.
"Thank God we weren't on the other side of the boat." Cadance said clutching Shinning Armor's arm.
"Yeah." Shinning Armor said giving her a slight squeeze.
He looked out to the sea trying to take in everything that just happened. First he was on a whale watching trip with his soon to be fiancée the next thing he knew he was being held in the air by a giant crab monster before it cut the boat in half like a piece of paper.
"Do you think Kubo is okay?" Cadance asked with clear concern.
Shinning Armor looked at her with concern as he tried to find the right answer. Kubo was the one who helped save them. Heck he helped encourage Shinning Armor to pop the question. The last time they saw him he ran off to fight that crab monster. He seemed so confident that Shinning Armor believed that man could actually beat any monster he came across. But right now.
"Mr. Kubo is okay."
Shinning Armor looked over his shoulder and found a boy with teal hair looking at him. A woman with similar hair quickly pulled on his arm.
"Sandbar stay with me." Sandbar's mother said.
"Mr. Kubo wouldn't lose to some overgrown crab." Sandbar said with determined eyes as he looked at Shinning Armor and Cadance.
"I'm sorry about him." His mother said looking at Shinning Armor and Cadance.
"It's fine." Cadance said with a smile as she bent down to look him in the eye, "Thanks for the words of encouragement little guy. Kubo's a really tuff guy I'm sure he's okay."
Shinning Armor smiled at his love as she was so great with kids. They weren't just encouraging to Sandbar but to him as well. Kubo had to be okay he wouldn't go out like that.
"Hey what's that?" Sandbar asked.
Shinning Armor looked to the ocean and found something splashing around in the water. It looked like some kind of strange fish until he saw the antenna. The small Mothra weakly chirped as she popped her head out of the water. She tried flapping her wings only to fall back into the water.
"That's Mothra." Sandbar said with wide eyes, "I think she's in trouble."
"I think she's waterlogged." Cadance said with worry.
Sandbar looked ready to jump into the water if his mother hadn't stopped him, "Mom I have to save her."
"Sandbar you're not getting in that water." His mother quickly stated.
As the mother and son continued to argue Shinning Armor watched Mothra as she continued her struggle. He squeezed Cadance's hand before giving her a soft kiss on the lips. "Wait right here." Where the last words he said before jumping into the ocean.
He wasn't sure what he was doing and neither were the people yelling at him to come back. Yet he still felt compelled to rescue the moth. It just looked so scared and desperate. He swam as hard as he could thanking whoever was up there that the kaiju was so close. Mothra was screeching as she tried to fly out of the water. Shinning Armor was splashed in the face by her thrashing.
"Hey calm down!" He cried out to the kaiju.
To his surprise Mothra actually stopped her thrashing and looked at him. He treaded the water looking at the small kaiju as she cocked her head twitching her antenna. She let out a small chirp as her mussel moved. He took a breath realizing just how crazy a situation he put himself in before putting his arms out. "It's okay I'm not going to hurt you." He reached out gently touching the little kaiju and to his surprise she crawled into his arms. Mothra looked up at Shinning Armor letting out soft chirps as she looked up at him. It was hard to tell but it actually looked like she was grateful to him. "Don't worry I've got you."
He began to swim back to the boat with the small kaiju in tow. The kaiju clung tightly to him, but he could feel something else in its claws. There was also something else bothering him were was Kubo? And why was the water starting to get so hot? When he made it back to the boat he nearly catapulted himself out of the water. He placed Mothra down while gasping and taking his shirt off. His skin was reddened and he saw the steam coming off it.
"Are you alright?" A worried Cadance quickly came to his side looking at his reddened skin.
"Yeah." Shinning Armor said in between gasp as he looked at the water. He noticed the steam starting to rise from the water. "Now I know how a lobster feels."
"Mothra?" Sandbar spoke up getting the couples attention. They turned and found Mothra looking down at her claws. Everyone on the board the were starting to crowd around to look at the kaiju. Sandbar's mother was trying to keep her son still but he still managed to reach out to the moth. Mothra looked at the boy and the small crowd starting to gather around her. She let out small chirps as she held her body low. She gently opened her claws revealing the small body she was holding onto.
Moll's eyes twitched as she started to cough up water. She gasped as her eyes snapped open and she began to look around. Her eyes wide with desperation, "Kubo! Kubo!"
"Did that doll just talk?" Someone from the crowd asked.
"Isn't that Kubo's doll?" Cadance asked.
"Yeah." Shinning Armor said as he watched the Elias look around with scared eyes.
"Kubo! Where are you?!" Moll continued to shout before looking out to the water, "No."
Moll looked at the crowd of humans gathering around her. She gulped as they had fearful eyes looking at her and Mothra. This was exactly what Hikari had been afraid of if she or Lora were seen by anyone. Yet she had to swallow her fear of this and try to trust the humans.
"Please someone help my friend!" Moll pleaded dropping to her knees, "Please my friend Kubo is still in the water. I can't offer any of you anything, but I beg of you please save him!"
"Kubo's in the water?!" A shocked Berry Punch made her way through the crowd.
"I can get him!" Shinning Armor said looking at Moll with a smile.
"You'll need some help." A ruffed up looking Rockhoof started to make his way through the crowd he handed Shinning Armor a rope, "Wrap this around yourself. Kubo's a pretty heavy guy you'll need some help bringing him to the surface."
Shinning Armor quickly went to work tying the rope around himself. Moll was surprised as others started to offer assistance to Shinning Armor some even volunteering to take his place. Tears started to fall from her face as she watched some many offering to help her friend, "Thank you, thank you all so much."
"Well Kubo did try to save us all." Cadance said warmly dropping to her knees to look at Moll, "I say we owe him."
"Yeah and I owe him a good talking to about bringing animals on board." Berry Punch said with a smile and wink, "And sneaking people onto the boat that violates so many codes."
"Alright your all set." Rockhoof said looking over Shinning Armor, "Remember just tug on it the minute you grab him."
"Got it." Shinning Armor said looking at Moll and giving her a small smile. He took a large breath of air before diving into the ocean. The water was still blazing hot but he could manage. He quickly began kicking his legs to dive down his eyes scanning the water in order to find a trace of Kubo. He kept going looking for any sign of him.
'Come on Kubo where are you?'
He could already feel his lungs starting to burn. His eyes suddenly spotted something glowing beneath him. The blue light was almost hypnotic he could also feel the water heating up around him. It felt like he was being cooked. His body was demanding he get out. He suddenly spotted something floating toward the light. It was him!
Shinning Armor quickly dove down ready to grab Kubo. Until the light suddenly disappeared. A growl like nothing he'd ever heard before shook the ocean. The blue lights returned again only now there were two of them in the shape of orbs. Each the size of a house sitting under Kubo as he continued to float deeper into the abyss.
………………….
Lora gasped as blood fell from her mouth. Her aura disappeared as she feel over. Akiko quickly picked up Lora calling out to her along with Hikari. Their voices echoed around her as the world started to get dark. Yet she still held a proud smile as she looked to them.
"He...heard....me." Lora weakly said before passing out.
………………..
Everyone was waiting with baited breath as they watched the water. Rockhoof held the rope tightly waiting for the call. He suddenly felt the rope move. He gave a quick nod to his men and they began pulling on the rope. Shining Armor emerged taking a large gulp of air as he quickly started swimming to the back to the boat. He held on to the edge and was quickly aided back on. Cadance and Sandbar came rushing toward.
"Shiny what happened!" Cadance said.
"Did you find Mr. Kubo?" Sandbar asked.
Shinning Armor finished catching with wild eyes he shouted, "Get away from the water. Hurry!"
Before anyone could start asking questions the water started to swirl. Blue lights shimmered within the forming whirlpool. Moll had wide eyes as she looked at the water. Mothra started to flap her wings and chirp..
The water spilt as large spines rose from the sea. They shined as energy built within them. Water fell off of black scales like cascading waterfalls. Eyes shining with blue power as he blue smoke vented from his maw. Godzilla reared his back and let loose a powerful roar into the sky. The monster king puffed out smoke before looking down at the broken ship.
Shinning Armor tensed up as got in between Cadance and the monster lowering his head down to look at them. Godzilla snarled as he looked at the humans. He made small grunts as he looked over them.
"No one move." Moll spoke up walking in between legs. Mothra flew over their heads landing lightly on Godzilla's snout. Moll held a soft glow as she smiled at Godzilla, "It's okay he won't hurt any of you."
Godzilla let out small grunts as he looked at the humans. He slowly rose up looking at the sandy beach and the smoke coming from further inland. His still healing eyes struggled to pinpoint his enemy, but he knew the crab was there. However he had other priorities and the other humans could be of use.
He gently gripped the boat in his hand. He held it delicately like a mother with her newborn. He looked down in his other hand. Kubo sat in his palm unmoving. Godzilla let out a soft grunt of worry. He began to wade back to the shore finding a place to settle the boat. As he reached swallow water and touched the sandy bottom of the seafloor Godzilla felt weakness in his knees. He powered through it he could still feel the pain radiating throughout his body. Even his chest was still burning from his still healing wounds.
Godzilla felt himself starting to tire as he made his final stretch to land. He was forcing himself to move at this point. He felt a harsh pain before suddenly coughing up blood. His legs gave out and Godzilla collapsed under his own weight. He held out his arms making sure the humans would remain unharmed. The boat of humans gently touched down on the sandy beach. He let out a soft roar as blood trickled down his lips. He looked down to his palm finding Kubo to be still unconscious. His eyes were full of worry as he gently set Kubo down.
He let out soft roars trying to awaken the human. When Kubo didn't even move his roars became more high-pitched. He ignored the pain running throughout his body to focus on awakening his human. For his large frame the monster king was surprisingly gentle as he nuzzled Kubo with his snout. A chirp caught his attention and Godzilla spotted something flying toward him.
"Kubo!" Moll shouted as she rode on Mothra.
Mothra flew with a slight limp as she flew as her body twitched. She suddenly let out a pained roar as her eyes flickered. The young kaiju fell into the sand skidding across. Moll yelped as she gripped Mothra tightly. When Mothra came to a stop Moll fell off the small kaiju. She looked at Mothra sadly as she let out a pained chirped. Mothra looked at Moll before motioning her head to Kubo. The younger Elias sniffled before running to Kubo.
"Kubo, please wake up." Moll softly said as she walked toward him. Kubo remained still as water dripped off him. Her eyes glistened as she walked toward him. She gently rubbed her face against his palm trying to wake him. "Please don't leave me."
Godzilla let out soft roars as he looked at Kubo. He turned his head to look at the humans still on board the ship. He began to grunt at them before looking back to Kubo. His eyes were soft as if....
"He's asking for help!" Sandbar said with wide eyes, "Mr. Kubo is in trouble!"
His mother held him tightly as she stared at lizard, "Sandbar!"
"Mr. Kubo isn't moving." Sandbar said with teary eyes.
"Sweetie, I know how much you care about others, but that monster..."
"He saved us!" Sandbar shouted over his mother he broke away from her before looking at the rest of the ship, "Godzilla isn't what those people on the news say he is! Godzilla risked his life to save all of us! Now he and Mr. Kubo are hurt! They need our help!"
He stood there in front of the crowd looking at them with desperate eyes. He breathed heavily as he watched some children hide behind their parents as they looked at Godzilla nervously. He looked down in defeat until he heard several people jump into the sand. He was surprised to find Cadance, Shinning Armor, and Berry Punch walking toward the monster. Berry Punch was shivering but she still managed to smile.
"K-K-Kubo said he trusted Godzilla with his life. S...S...So I'll believe him." Berry Punch stammered out, "I...I was trained in CPR."
"Me too." Cadance said with a smile, "And Kubo is my friend so there's no way I can leave him behind."
"And I'm not letting you go alone." Shinning Armor said, "Stay with your mom Sandbar let the adults handle this."
The small group started making their way to toward Godzilla. Each of them swallowing a nervous gulp as Godzilla looked at them. As they got closer they took note of the wounds on his face. It made Cadance's stomach turn when she saw the blood slowly dripping from his face like a tear drop. His black scales were trying to grow back around his sockets revealing the pink muscle underneath. When he moved it revealed a still healing scar on his chest.
"He looks so weak." Shinning Armor said.
"Guys." Berry Punch said looking forward.
Shinning Armor looked at the downed form of Kubo with Moll softly crying next to his face. Mothra gently rubbed against his hand softly letting out her own cries. Moll looked up at the approaching humans as her lip quivered, "He's not breathing."
They all grew wide eyed as they bent down to look at Kubo. Berry Punch quickly put her head against his heart. Her eyes shook with worry suddenly her eyes grew wide a small smile on her face, "I can hear his heartbeat but it's faint."
"Okay." Cadance gently moved Kubo's head. Moll looked at her and sniffled Cadance smiled down at her, "Don't worry we can save him."
Moll smiled at her. Cadance pointed at Kubo's chest, "Press down as hard as you can when I tell you. Count with me all right?"
"Right." Berry Punch said with a nod.
She positioned Kubo to have him facing her before gently pushing his head back and opened his mouth. She blushed and she looked at Shinning Armor, "This is going to be really awkward, Shiny. So sorry in advance."
"What are you...oh." Shinning Armor said with red cheeks.
Cadence looked to Berry Punch with a nod as she pinched the bridge of his nose. Berry Punch placed her hands on Kubo's chest. "One, two, three!"
Berry Punch pressed down on Kubo's chest and Cadance placed her lips on his. The two began giving Kubo CPR Berry Punch counting each time Cadance took a breath. Moll nervously watched as the two women began reviving Kubo. Godzilla cocked his head as he stared down at the humans.
Cadance felt a sudden twitch under her. Moll gasped pointing at Kubo's hand. The women stopped as Kubo started to move. His eyes shot open and he quickly rose up coughing violently as he began to vomit water. He breathed in heavily taking as much air as he could. When he started to calm down Kubo slowly took in the world around himself. He felt something rubbing against his arm. The soft chirps of Mothra were followed by the young kaiju jumping against his chest. He fell into the sand which allowed Moll to run into face. Moll peppered Kubo's cheek with kisses as she sobbed.
"What's going on?" Kubo groaned.
"I thought you died!" Moll whimpered as she nuzzled Kubo's cheek. Mothra rubbed her head against his chest chirping. Kubo gently pat her head as he sat up. His eyes widened when he saw the group looking him with soft smiles.
"Glad to see your up." Shinning Armor said with a smile.
The sudden grunt from Godzilla caused the humans to go stiff as Godzilla leaned down between them. His hand shook the ground as he brought it down next to them. He leaned his head down closer causing Berry Punch to let out a terrified scream when he opened his mouth a soft growl came of his throat. His eyes stared at Kubo and his tongue hung from his jaws.
"Godzilla please don't." Kubo said with a groan. Godzilla's tongue nearly lifted Kubo off the ground as it ran across Kubo's face. Kubo groaned as Godzilla continued to lick him like an excited puppy making high-pitched squeaks that didn't seem possible for the king of the monsters. Kubo groaned as Godzilla's saliva covered his entire body, "You know that doesn't come out!"
Kubo looked at the three present who were all staring at the scene with wide eyed confusion. He could see the thought process of three as Kubo was currently being snuggled by the king of monster. He let out an awkward chuckle as he rubbed Godzilla's snout, "He can be pretty affectionate."
"He seems to care a lot about you." Cadance said with a smile as she looked the scene over with a smile.
"Thank you for saving him!" Moll said running to them and bowing her head.
"Moll alkingtay!" Kubo said holding a finger to his lips.
"Yeah we already figured that out." Berry Punch said as she nervously looked at Godzilla. The monster king was staring at them. "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
"I asked them for help Kubo. You would have died if they hadn't saved you." Moll gently leaned against Kubo a tear falling from her face. Kubo gently wiped the tear away from her before looking at the three who saved him.
His eyes fell upon the whale watching boat and the passengers. Rockhoof and the rest of his crew were helping people safely off board. He sighed looking at the destroyed boat then to Godzilla. His eyes twitched as they healed.
"Looks like we took a beating." Kubo softly said. A sudden explosion nearly caused Berry to jump out of her skin. Kubo turned his head when he heard it just as Godzilla snarled. The roars of Ganimes echoed just as loud as the crashing buildings he stomped through. The kaiju was going on a wild rampage as he tore through the beach town. He was slowly starting to catch the sounds of sirens wailing. His eyes narrowed, "What do you say, Big Guy, up for returning the favor?"
Godzilla snorted out blue smoke as he let out a grunt. Both were slow to rise the Earth shook as Godzilla tried to steady himself. Blood from his wounds rained down on the beach. Kubo grunted as he tried balancing himself as vertigo quickly set in. He felt a hand grab his chest and another his back. He looked to find both Cadance and Shinning Armor balancing him.
"Look I don't doubt that you're this super soldier, monster whispering, hero. But you were just drowning a minute ago. Your body is playing catch up." Berry Punch said before looking at Godzilla, "And I think the same goes for him."
Godzilla groaned as he dropped to a knee. His back spines flashed as wounds still struggled to heal. Kubo was also starting to feel his legs giving out on him as he was leaning against Shinning Armor for support. Yet when he looked at the city he felt a great sense of urgency.
"Kubo, please just take a minute and breath." Cadance said as she tried to sit him down. Her voice oddly reminding him of Hikari.
Hikari!
"Moll can you set a link with the others?" Kubo said with urgency.
"Right!" Moll said giving Kubo a quick salute.
Kubo watched her glow and Shinning Armor caught the urgency in his eyes. "I know things are already pretty grim, but something's telling me there's even more to come."
Kubo looked at Shinning Armor and began kicking himself mentally. Twilight was his little sister and she was apparently in the middle of a kaiju attack. He had a right to know what was going on, "Shinning Armor there's something you should know."

Akiko had tears falling from her face as she looked over the elder Elias. Lora was pale, blood was dripping from her lips and nose. Yet she still had a smile on her face as she took in labored breaths. Hikari was doing her best to stay calm as she held Lora in her hands. She carefully held a finger to the small girls' chest. Sunset and Adagio watched on with fearful eyes.
"She's going to be okay." Hikari said taking a breath.
"She said she did it." Adagio spoke up, "Do you really think she called Godzilla?"
"Lora's strong and a loud mouth when she get's fired up. Godzilla couldn't ignore her if he tried." Akiko said with a smile wiping away a tear. She took Lora from Hikari and gently cradled her with a smile, "You're going to get all the chocolate you can eat."
"Akiko can you hear me?"
Akiko shot up when they heard Moll's voice. A smile crossed her face as she cupped her mouth. She felt joyful tears running down her face. She looked to Hikari and the others, "It's Moll!" Hikari gasped while Sunset pulled Adagio in for a tight hug.
"Moll I can hear you. Is Kubo with you?" Akiko asked with bated breath.
"Yes he's safe these nice people saved us." Moll said, "Where's Lora? I was calling out to her but she wouldn't answer me."
Akiko looked solemnly at Lora with a sad sigh, "Moll are you strong enough to link all of us?"
"Yes, I was trying to contact Bone Crusher, but it sounded like his mind was preoccupied. What's going on over there why is Angurius fighting Mothra and what's that other strange aura?" Moll asked with great worry in her voice.
"Just link us Moll I'll explain everything." Akiko said.

"So that explains why Ganimes is here Midnight really is pulling out all the stops. But this Equestrian magic is something I didn't factor in." Kubo said as he sat on the beach. He felt the himself gripping the sand. Things were kicking off at the camp and to top it all off Midnight was pulling her usual tricks on the girls. Then there was the case of Twilight Sparkle. He looked at Shinning Armor the man looked to be on the verge of a panic attack the only thing keeping him calm was Cadance, although she looked like was having trouble keeping her emotions in check as well. "Is Twilight okay?"
"Yeah Sunset knocked her out so she won't be going anywhere." Akiko said.
"I'll just leave that part out when I tell her brother." Kubo said with a bead of sweat running down his face.
He cleared his throat before looking at Shinning Armor and Cadance. He held a smile in an attempt to calm the concerned couple down, "Twilight is safe. My friends have her in a cave with Sunset and Adagio." The happy couple breathed a sigh of relief as they gave Kubo grateful looks. He smiled back at them with a knowing nod.
"Kubo are you still there?" Hikari called out.
"Yeah." Kubo said. A brief silence filled the air as Kubo waited for Hikari to answer him.
"What are you going to do?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" Kubo asked.
"Don't play that game with us Kubo." Akiko called out to him, "We can't get to you Kubo. This camp counselor and Angurius are going to keep us occupied. Hikari and I hate it but you're the only one there who can stop Ganimes."
"You know how I feel about you running off on you're own, but it looks like you don't have much of a choice." Hikari said.
Kubo sighed and gently pat Moll's head, "Cap, I'll do whatever you order me to do."

Akiko narrowed her eyes and clenched her fist. She took a deep breath feeling all of her emotions swelling up inside of her. "Moll I don't know if you can but make sure Godzilla hear's what I'm about to say."
"I'll try." Moll said.
She inhaled as she felt everything welling up inside of her reach a boiling point. She opened her mouth and what followed was a roar of orders. "SEARCH AND DESTORY! SEARCH AND DESTORY! MIDNIGHT THINKS SHE PLAY WITH US LIKE THIS! CRUSH HER AND MAKE HER PAY FOR WHAT SHE DID! DON'T RUN OR HIDE! SHOW HER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE G-TEAM!"

Canterlot Beach

Berry felt a shiver go down her spine when she saw Godzilla's lips curl back revealing his fangs. She'd never been this close to a monster in her life but even so this was weird. He was letting out heavy grunts as his lips continued to curl. His eyes began to shine making him somehow look even more like a monster.
"So you're fired up too Big Guy?" Kubo said.
"Um Kubo is he..." Berry Punch trailed on her words when she saw Kubo.
His lips were curled back like Godzilla even his eyes held a terrifying shine to them. He began to crack his knuckles, "Sometimes I think the he only hears what wants to hear." Kubo said with a chuckle as he began to crack his neck, "Well I guess I can't blame you. It has been awhile since the girls gave us permission to rampage."
Cadance and Shinning Armor were taken aback by the smile Kubo had on his face. He had just been sitting in the sand with his eyes closed a moment ago then he just started laughing out of the blue. It was like all of the pain and fatigue he was felling just disappeared. He looked like a brand new person. He pushed the two off him as he walked toward the glowing saurian.
"You three should get somewhere safe." Moll said as she flew up to the humans on Mothra, "When Kubo and Godzilla start smiling like that it usually means things are going to start blowing up."
"You too, Moll." Kubo said without looking over his shoulder.
"But Kubo..." Moll was about to protest but a sudden roar from Godzilla silenced both her and Mothra.
"You heard Akiko; Lora is down and they need you." Kubo said as he held up a finger. Godzilla looked at his finger as Kubo began to wave it. "Moll I trust you to save them."
Moll hiccupped back a tear before slapping her cheeks together, "I will Kubo!" She kicked Mothra's sides and the small kaiju began to flutter her wings.
The young kaiju held up her wings and began to fly although it was still with a limp. She could feel the pain of her main body. The fight with Anguirus was something she was regretting. There was no way she could---
GRNNK
Mothra's eyes widened as she flew past Godzilla. Orange eyes stared at her piercing into her soul. He gave her a small nod before looking back to Kubo. Mothra's eyes shook along with her antenna. Mothra let out a loud chirp as she beat her wings harder and took off leaving behind a small rainbow.
Godzilla watched the younger kaiju leave while blowing smoke out of his nose. He looked back at Kubo who gave him a smile. "Be more worried about Anguirus, Big Guy. We've got a crab to fry." Kubo's eyes hardened as he whistled. Godzilla's eyes became slits as he followed Kubo's finger. He let out small clicks and growls. Kubo nodded in conformation. "Hey Shinning Armor on my here I saw an amusement park. It was still under construction right?"
"Equestria Land? Well yeah it has another three months before it's done." Shinning Armor said.
"Good." Kubo said he pointed to the large ferris wheel sitting by a hill side. Godzilla followed where he was pointing he responded with a click and rose back to his feet. "Bring him there Big Guy."
Godzilla grunted in understanding as he rose to his full height. Godzilla spit his blood into the ocean as his body started flashing. The humans present had to shield there eyes from the light. His wounds began healing at a faster rate then normal. His chest closed the scar was replaced with large black scales and muscle. His vision started to clear and he could make out his target.
"Looks like I should get ready too." Kubo said looking at the watch, "Hey G-glove are you there?"
The G-glove sparked to life nearly lighting itself on fire, "I backed myself up the moment we met."
"Well glad to know you had so much confidence in me." Kubo said rolling his eyes, "Are you still operational?"
"The sea water has damaged my space titanium coating and circuits. I am currently running on 60% power."
"Can you do that armor thing Vector was talking about?" Kubo asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Running the armor system will deplete my power system substantially. Estimated run time will be ten minutes."
Kubo rubbed his chin before surging, "Well I'll just have to beat Ganimes in half that time."
"Humans truly are the dumbest lifeforms."
"Just suit me up."
"The correct wording is Armor On."
"Oooookay; Armor On."
"Mark II G-armor activated."
The G-glove sparked before black metal started spreading out of it. It raced up his arm and clamped down on it. The metal spread across his entire body coating him a dark metal sheen. It compressed and fit to his body. It soon wrapped around his neck rushing up the back of his head. A black helmet wrapped around his covering his eyes to create a vizor and leaving his mouth open. Kubo looked himself over with an impressed whistle. He touched himself all over with a small chuckle as he started jumping around.
"Whoa this thing is awesome! I can barely feel it!" Kubo said.
"Mr. Kubo!"
Kubo turned finding Sandbar rushing from the boat. He was being trailed by several other children along with their screaming parents. Kubo had a small smile at their excited face. Sandbar came to a stop looking over Kubo's new suit with wide eyes.
"Whoa you look like a Power Ranger!" Sandbar said with an excited smile.
Kubo playfully pat his head with a smile, "Yeah my little brother is a fan. Now you should get going." He looked at Shinning Armor, Cadance, and Berry Punch, "That goes for the rest you of guys."
"Are you seriously going after that thing alone?" Berry Punch asked looking at Kubo worried.
"Who says I'm alone?" Kubo said as the ground shook. A reptilian growl echoed as blue lights got the humans attention. Godzilla was now fully healed and snarling at the burning town. He looked down at Kubo and nodded to him. He soon started to walk off. Kubo stood and started following the monster king looking back at the others. Cadance looked like she didn't want him to leave. "Don't worry Ganimes made the biggest mistake of his life. He pissed me and the Big Guy off."
With that Kubo took off running although he trailed behind Godzilla. At least until he heard the sound of a roaring engine. Green letters appeared in his visor as his legs suddenly felt lighter. "I suggest you jump." The G-glove's robotic voice crackled into his ear. Kubo didn't question it and jumped into the air. To his surprise Kubo jumped several feet in the air he yelped looking down at the ground.
"It looks like the body enhancements are working. Although that did cost you several seconds of power."
"Gee thanks!" Kubo said.
"Is that the thanks I get for calling the G-cycle?"
"G-cycle?" Kubo looked down and found his motorcycle driving under him, "Okay Vector and I are having a talk when this is over."
Kubo fell back to earth landing perfectly on his motorcycle. He smiled and reeved the engine speeding the motorcycle up. In a swift motion Kubo started maneuvering under Godzilla as he started picking up speed.
"Well what do you now? I was only 38.7% percent sure you would have survived."
"What!?"
"I had full faith in you."
……………….
Sandbar watched Kubo and Godzilla with determined eyes. He ignored the berating words of his mother as he felt his heart start to swell up. That man didn't know him at all yet he went out of his way to save him. And Godzilla, everyone says he's a monster but he saved the boat from a real monster. All those people he sees on the news were wrong about him and the G-team. Sandbar felt his heart swelling as he watched the two runoff to fight again. He cupped his hands over his mouth, "You can do it guys!"
"Yeah show him whose the boss!" A boy with blue hair that ended in gold tips shouted.
"Smash mean crab real good, Godzilla!" A girl with long pigtails came by his side.
"Don't give up!" A girl with light pink hair called out.
"You're strongest monster around or at least that's what all my friends say!" A light blue haired girl called out.
Sandbar looked at the kids who joined his side. Each of them looked at him with smiles. Sandbar nodded back at them with a wide smile. All five of them shouted the same thing as Godzilla and Kubo ran into their town.
"WIN!"
…………………
Kubo weaved his motorcycle around Godzilla's stamping feet with ease. Godzilla was starting to break into a full sprint as his tail was raised. He broke onto the streets of the beach town scaring it's residents into even greater hysteria. Kubo made his way under the king and rode around the screaming people. He spotted the rising claw of Ganimes as he let out a joyous howl. Godzilla snarled narrowing his eyes.
"I hear you Big Guy. Midnight really thinks she can get away with this? How about we show her why that's a really bad idea." Kubo said as he started speeding up. Godzilla responded with a roar. "Yeah I'd say it is time to see Godzilla Unleashed!"
Godzilla's back spines ignited with power as his eyes started to shine. Blue flames licked his lips as he spotted his target. The crab didn't even seem to take notice of him charging toward him. He seemed drunk off his victory which drove Godzilla into a greater rage. The crab needed to be reminded of his place on the food chain and he was just the one to do it.
SKREEEOOOONKKKK
His roar shook the air and the earth traveling for miles. All who heard it froze in place as they watched the giant saurian race through their normally quiet town.
………………….
"So this mirror really is a portal to another world?" Starlight Glimmer asked.
"Yep a really weird one too." Spike said, "I even got turned into a dog!"
"Seriously!?" Starlight said with wide eyes as she stared out at the mirror. She had just come back here to help Twilight's protégé put away books. She wasn't expecting to find a portal to another world. Although he insisted on doing it himself considering it was still a day after her victory party she insisted. Besides she would much rather forget the events that was the cause of said party she could still hear Chrysalis's laughter in her dreams. It was only shear luck that she managed to beat her with the help of....
"Discord, could you stop messing around!" Spike yelled as he chased after a flying book that was singing some form of opera.
"What? I'm just trying to speed things up a little." Discord was reclining in the air with several other singing books floating around him. He casually filed his lion pawed hand while sighing out of sheer boredom, "Honestly why are the guests of honor cleaning up after their own party?"
"I was the one who volunteered to clean, Discord. You just followed us in here yammering about that weird game." Starlight said with a roll of her eyes as she caught one the flying books with her magic and placed it on a shelf. The book hissed at her along with several others that suddenly swarmed her. Discord looked at her with a glare.
"You will not mock Ogres and Oubliettes in my presence!" Discord said standing proudly.
"Spike a little help?!" Starlight shouted as she was taken by several books.
"Sorry Starlight but you know how he feels about O&O." Spike said shrugging his shoulders, "Discord if you stop messing around you can be the dungeon master."
"That's all I ask for." Discord said with crooked smile as he snapped his fingers. In a flash the books turned back to normal and flew back into the shelves. The room was back to normal in facet it was actually cleaner than it had ever been. Discord flew down next to Spike putting an arm around the dragon's shoulder, "Now what's your stance on whalewolves? Because do I have got a campaign for you."
"That sounds awesome! Hey Starlight you wanna join us?" Spike said looking around only to find the unicorn to be missing, "Starlight?"
He caught the sound of a muffled cry from the bookshelves. He looked at them and found the books to be shaking. Spike looked at Discord with a disapproving glare. The draconequus shrugged while whistling to himself. Spike glared harder at him making Discord groan, "Alright, alright, alright, I swear I can't have any fun these days."
He snapped his fingers and the books on the shelves fell again along with a purple unicorn. Starlight Glimmer landed flat on her face with an annoyed groan. She looked up at the boys with a vein popping in her head. Discord pointed a finger at Spike. She was ready to yelling at them if a light hadn't caught her attention. Discord cocked an eyebrow at the glowing mirror as Spike stared at it in worry.
"Spike does the mirror normally do that?" Starlight asked with sweat dripping down her face.
"No." Spike answered.
The mirror was glowing brightly with harsh intensity. It looked like it was starting to shake. When it reached it's apex Starlight felt like she was hit by a blast of wind.
SKREEENOOONK
The roar took Starlight Glimmer off her feet and propelled her into Spike. They would have flown into Discord as well if he hadn't snapped a bubble around them. Starlight and Spike were safe on the ground while the room shook like an earthquake was going through. Until it stopped just as sudden as it began Discord dropped the bubble along with the panting pony and dragon.
"Was that a dragon?" Starlight asked.
"Not one that I've heard." Spike said as he stood on shaky legs.
"It sounded more like a kaiju to me." Discord said rubbing his beard.
"Kai-what?" Spike asked.
_____________________________________________
Kaiju Log 5
Ganimes
Aka: Poison Kaiju, Acid Crab, Krabby Patty
Height: 88 Meters
Powers: Hard Shell: Ganimes has an extremely durable shell that gets stronger every time he molts. Studies of his molted shells has found them to have similar structure to steel. It's even strong enough to take direct attacks from Godzilla and Mothra with out cracking.
Molting: When Ganimes is on the verge of death he will escape by breaking open his shell and leaving it for his attacker while he runs off.
High Speed: Despite his size Ganimes is one of the fastest kaiju on land and sea. He uses this to his advantage by quickly slashing at his enemies and running off or slamming them with an intense burst of speed.
Pincers: Ganimes pincers are his deadliest weapons in close combat. Each of them are full of diamond hard blades that crush buildings and tanks with ease. They can easily rip the flesh off other kaiju.
Acid Foam: Ganimes has acidic bile that can burn any substance even Godzilla's hide.
Weaknesses: Stupidity: Ganimes is the definition of all brawn and no brains. He tends to be directed to areas by the other monsters he follows. He can be easily distracted when fighting more than one opponent. This was shown when Private Kubo of the G-team managed to trick Ganimes and left him open for attack by Godzilla.
Soft Skin: After molting his shell Ganimes soft skin is exposed to the world. This best time to launch an attack on him before he manages to get away and regrow his shell.
Bio: Ganimes was discovered on a small island chain in the south Pacific alongside the kaiju Gezora and Kamoebas in the early 70s. The three lived there in peace throughout that time tending to avoid human contact. In the early 2000s the island chain the kaiju lived on was destroyed during a nuclear test. The kaiju were not scene and presumed dead. It wasn't until 2015 when the kaiju reappeared on Infant Island, the base of the G-team and home of Godzilla, were they went on a rampage. Godzilla and Mothra managed to chased them off. After that the three began appearing around various parts of the world alongside the kaiju Battra.
Ganimes is usually the first kaiju to be found attacking cities. His docile nature now gone Ganimes takes great pleasure in destroying cities and hunting down humans. His worst rampage was in Hong Kong where Ganimes killed thousands and caused billions in property damage. If it wasn't for the intervention of the G-team and Godzilla the city most likely would have been lost. A.G.A.F research are still trying to understand why Ganimes has become so aggressive since his first discovery and why he follows Battra. G-team scientist Susan Hikari claims that he is angered at humans for destroying his home.
