Chapter 4: Godzilla vs King Ghidora

Godzilla, the Main Six, and a fleet of flying battleships were heading south. Everyone was following Godzilla as he was tracking where King Ghidora was. Twilight and her friends were on the flagship leading the fleet, enamored by the sight of the regal Kaiju King as he slowly walked through the edge of the desert. Fluttershy and Twilight flew up next to Godzilla's head as he walked.

"Godzilla, how long have you known this 'King Ghidora'?" Twilight asked.

Fluttershy translated his growls. "He says that he first encountered Ghidora a few million years ago."

Twilight nearly fell out the sky from shock. "A few MILLION years ago?! How is that even possible?!"

"Maybe his species simply live for a long time, a really long time," Fluttershy suggested. "Either way, it's amazing that he's lived for so long."

Twilight looked to Godzilla in wonder. It's amazing that he's lived for so long, yet looks like a specimen in his prime. He gave off the aura of an experienced warrior king, something that made Twilight's heart race every time she looked at him. She made a mental note to study more about Godzilla later.

Suddenly, the wind picked up drastically and the flying ponies had to go back to the flagship. Making their way to the helm, the pair looked back and saw a huge dark storm of golden lightning approaching.

"Where did this storm come from?!" Rainbow yelled over the roaring wind. "Sudden storms like this don't appear naturally!"

"I'm not sure, but Godzilla seems to hate it!" Twilight replied.

The Elements turned to look at Godzilla, who was snarling in anger at seeing the storm and was making a beeline towards it regardless of the golden lightning. Godzilla roared in anger, which Fluttershy translated.

"He says that this is no normal storm! That is King Ghidora!" Fluttershy yelled.

Emerging from the storm like a demon from Tartarus was a creature perfectly described in the meeting. Golden scales, giant wings, and three draconic heads greeted the Kaiju King and the flying fleet with malevolence in all six of his eyes. The sight of the monster immediately caught the attention of all in the fleet.

"That's him! That's King Ghidora!" Fluttershy squeaked.

Godzilla snarled and assumed a threatening posture with his claws flexed and his dorsal plates glowing a bright shade of blue. King Ghidora reared his heads back and flared his wings to threaten back. It was clear to all who were witnessing this that this wasn't merely two monsters about to fight, this was a battle between two Titan kings over the fate of the world. And it was about to get ugly.

So... here he was. Once again in the same world as me. Another world for him to destroy, a world that I swore to protect. All I wanted was a peaceful life, and nothing made me angrier than this guy and his single-minded desire for destruction. I had to stop him here and now if I am to protect my new friends. The bastard Titan before me smirked.

"I was wondering when you were going to show up, old friend," the middle head said. "Destroying this world would've been really boring without any challenge."

"Truthfully, I could've gone my whole life happily without you being here," Godzilla retorted. Ghidora faked a look of shock.

"Oh, you don't like me?" he asked sarcastically. "You wound me! How could my archenemy say such things to me?"

My old foe looked behind me and saw the fleet of flying ships and the ponies that piloted them. He turned back to me with a look of amusement.

"That is so like you to play buddy-buddy with lesser species, Goji," Ghidora said. "These may be your most colorful cast of friends I've ever seen. Still, it'll be nice reducing them to atoms!"

That tore it for me! No one threatens my friends! I gave him a glare and a few pulsating glows from my dorsal plates. I was not in the mood for his wordplay!

"Are you going to stand there rambling or are we going to fight?!" I roar at him.

"You know what? For once, you're actually right," Ghidora said. "Let's get this little sparring match started!"

Ghidora and I ran towards each other ready for another clash. I wouldn't let him destroy this world or my friends! My honor wouldn't allow it!

The fleet watched as both Titans smashed into each other with devastating force that they could physically feel from a distance. Rainbow Dash was watching the fight unfold with a look of excitement.

"This looks like it's going to be an awesome fight!" Rainbow said. "We should place bets!"

"We're not here to watch or place bets, Dash. We're supposed to help Godzilla if he needs it," Applejack said.

"Fine, but that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the fight!" Rainbow said.

Rarity turned to Twilight out of concern. "Do you think Lord Godzilla will win?"

"He's said that he's fought Ghidora before, so I think that he should stand a pretty good chance against him," Twilight said. She hoped that Godzilla would be able to defeat him.

Back with the fight, Godzilla and Ghidora were grapping each other in a shove match. Godzilla was able to push Ghidora back a few feet while Ghidora was biting at Godzilla's arms and neck. Godzilla pushed Ghidora off and swept his long tail around and managed to knock Ghidora off his feet. Once the King of Destruction was on his back, Godzilla approached to attack again. But Ghidora was ready for that.

Ghidora opened all three of his mouths and blasted Godzilla right in the chest with his Gravity Beams. The three-pronged attack was so powerful that it knocked Godzilla off his feet and sent him flying back a good distance. One of the beams nearly hit the flagship the Elements were on, causing the admiral to give an order.

"We have to fall back!" he shouted. "We'll maintain a safe distance away from them until Godzilla needs us!"

"Agreed! Let's do this!" Twilight said.

Godzilla looked back and seemed happy and relieved that they were leaving, something that Fluttershy noticed. Godzilla turned back to Ghidora with the determined look of a warrior. He got back up and decided to use his most iconic attack.

All of his dorsal plates lit up with blue light until his internal energy traveled all the way up to his mouth. Before Ghidora could dodge, he was hit right in the chest with Godzilla's Atomic Breath. A blue beam of atomic energy struck Ghidora in the right pectoral and managed to burn a hole through his right wing. Ghidora screeched in pain as the beam had seared his scales black and burned a whole in his wing.

Seeing his opening, Godzilla rushed towards his opponent and unleashed a barrage of blows to each one of Ghidora's heads with his fists. Godzilla both used his claws and clenched fists to beat Ghidora before he could go on the defensive. Ghidora wrapped one of his two tails around Godzilla's neck and threw him off. Ghidora stood back up on shaky legs and each of the heads spit out a few teeth and drops of blood. He glared at Godzilla with hateful eyes. He had no more strength left to fight.

"Just you wait, Gojira! There's always next time!" Middle shouted. "I'll be back to destroy you and this world one day!"

With a few pained growls, Ghidora spread his wings and launched himself into the sky until he was outside the planet's atmosphere.

"And I'll be here to take you down next time," Godzilla promised.

Godzilla roared in victory as the fleet flew back towards him. All ponies were cheering after witnessing such a fight. Rainbow flew loops in the air as she began to chant his name.

"Godzilla! Godzilla! Godzilla!" she cried.

Everyone else joined in the chanting as Godzilla nursed the spot where he was hit by Ghidora's Gravity Beams. Both Twilight and Fluttershy flew up to him and looked him right in the eyes.

"Godzilla, you have won the day and saved our world! We are in your debt," Twilight said with a polite bow of her head. "We would like to throw a party in celebration of your victory."

Fluttershy translated what Godzilla said. "He said that he would be honored to attend the celebration, but this won't be the last time we'll hear of Ghidora."

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked fearfully.

"Godzilla said that Ghidora will simply find somewhere in space to heal before he'll come back for another fight," Fluttershy replied. "But he did say that he'll protect us from him no matter what."

While the threat of King Ghidora coming back was something in itself to worry about, it was nice knowing they had Godzilla to defend them. The world would be that much safer with Godzilla around. Little did they know that this was only the beginning.

Gruff was sitting in his home with his two adopted granddaughters Gilda and Gabby having some of Gilda's revised scones for a teatime snack when they heard shouts coming from outside. Gruff slammed his talons on the table in frustration.

"What the hailstorm is going on out there?!" he yelled irritably.

"I'll go check, Grandpa!" Gabby said happily.

Gabby went over to the door and opened it. There were Griffons running and flying all around with their heads facing something further up their mountain. When Gabby turned to see what they were looking at, her feathers seemed to go pale as her eyes widened and her legs buckled. Gilda, concerned for her little sister, walked up behind her alongside Gruff.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Gilda asked, only to be just as shocked as Gabby. Gruff shoved past them to look outside.

"What are you two looking... at?" Gruff asked before he looked up at the mountain.

Perched on top of the mountain's summit was a winged creature they've never seen before, nor one they could've ever imagined. This creature was a deep red and black in color, with an eagle-like head with two hornlike crests on the back of its head, glowing orange eyes, and a pair of leathery wings with claws on one point. The creature looked around a bit before its eyes settled on the town of Griffons below. The citizens were terrified to see such a creature, who was moving its head in a way that said that it was curious. After a few shakes of its head, the creature extended its wings and took off into the air with a loud shriek.

As the beast flew over the city, a powerful burst of wind swept over the city. Griffons both on the ground and in the air were swept up in the air and were blown back for several hundred feet. Some of the buildings and houses were swept away by the force of the wind and left rubble in the creature's wake. Gruff held onto Gilda's and Gabby's talons for dear life until the wind subsided. Gruff watched as the creature flew away with an irritated look on his face.

"Great! Just what we need: more giant monsters!" Gruff grumbled.

The famous pirate Captain Salaeno was in the midst of leading her crew through a storm. The storm was threatening to completely rip the ship apart as the crew rushed to tie everything down and get below for safety while Salaeno was left to pilot the ship to a safe place. One of her crewmates rushed to the helm to retrieve her.

"Captain! We have to get below deck, or we'll be swept off the ship!" he shouted over the sounds of the maelstrom.

"I can't! I have to find a place to set the ship down or we'll be killed!" Salaeno said. "You should get below deck where it's safe!"

"Not without my captain!" the crewman shouted back.

A strong wind washed over the ship and caused the ship to turn sideways. The crewman was knocked over the side of the ship and fell into the darkness of the storm. Salaeno stared in shock and tears.

"NOOOOO!" she shouted.

As she was crying over her crewman, the skies around her were suddenly bathed in heavenly light. The clouds cleared completely with the rains gone and the winds a calm breeze. Salaeno looked around in shock to this sudden weather change. A large shape emerged from underneath the ship on Salaeno's left side and was now flying above the ship. The pirate captain was in awe at what she saw flying above her ship. She placed the ship in hover mode as she joined her emerging crew on the deck to see what she was looking at.

Right in front of the ship was a... giant moth. She had solid bright blue eyes, white fur, feather-like antennae, a sleek body, six legs, and a pair of beautiful wings with orange, yellow, blue, and black markings. She made a lovely squeaking call as she observed the ship and the crew. As Salaeno stared at the beautiful moth creature, a familiar face appeared on top of her head. It was the crewman that was swept overboard!

"Captain!" he called down to her.

The moth creature moved one of her legs up to the crewman and gently grasped him. She moved the leg downwards to place him on the deck, where he was hugged by Salaeno.

"That moth creature... saved you?" she asked.

"Yeah. Talk about lucky, huh?" he replied.

Above them, the moth chittered in way that said that she was glad that the crew was safe. She then turned and began to fly away from the ship. It looked like the moth was heading for somewhere in particular.

"What now, Captain?" one of the crew asked.

"I think... we follow the moth," Salaeno replied.

"I like that plan!" another crewman said before they returned to their stations. They were going to follow this godlike moth one way or another.

Night Glider was enjoying her mountain picnic date with her boyfriend Double Diamond. They had found a nice secluded spot on one of the mountains near the village.

"I'm so glad we were able to find a spot like this," Night Glider said with contented sigh. Double Diamond pulled her close for a cuddle.

"So am I. I'm happy you were able to find a way here that didn't involve me having to climb over huge rocks. Again," Double Diamond said. "Nothing could ruin this."

The universe must've taken that personally, because loud rumblings began to occur from somewhere below them. The lovers scrambled to the edge of the cliff where the chose their spot and saw something that made them think they were losing their minds for a second.

It looked like parts of the mountain were moving! A section of the mountain, complete with a small grove of trees and rocks on the back of a huge creature. Night Glider and Double Diamond were shocked to see such a creature below them.

Walking just below them was a gigantic quadrupedal creature that was dark gray in coloration. The creature's thick neck held up a draconic head with white eyes that had no pupils and a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. A set of horns framed the sides of the creature's head that curled inwards. The creature had long forelimbs with sharp claws while its hindlimbs had cloven hooves and a short tail. It bellowed as it walked.

"So, it seems that young Gojira has found his way to this world alongside some other allies," Methuselah said to himself. "As the king's advisor and fellow guardian, I need to be by his side."

Night Glider and Double Diamond watched in awe as the gigantic beast lumbered forward below them. They waited until the creature left before they made their way down the mountain. They had to report what they saw and make sure the village was safe, and get the military involved with this.
