The sound of cheering was heard in the dark of the night. The moon shone brightly in the sky over the citizens of Canterlot as they celebrated the newlyweds, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. Valkyries hovered in the air as they dropped confetti down to the ground. The bride and groom strolled up to a white carriage that was to be towed by four armored white Pegasi. Twilight Sparkle used her magic to open the carriage and allowed Cadance and Shining Armor to prepare to enter inside. Cadance stopped as she noticed Junior standing with the Transmutants. The Avatar smiled as she rushed over to the Transmutant and wrapped him into a tight hug. Junior's eyes shot open in surprise.
"Thanks for coming to my wedding, cousin," said Cadance. Junior smiled as he returned her hug.
"No problem, Cadance," said Junior. The Princess of Love released him and looked to him with a coy smile.
"You seem to be quite chummy with Twilight," said Cadance. Junior looked away in embarrassment, causing the Avatar to giggle.
"I'll be rooting for you," said Cadance with a wink. Junior chuckled in embarrassment.
"Thanks," said Junior. Cadance turned and walked away as she waved to Junior.
"We ought to spend more time together after my honeymoon! We have years to catch up on!" said Cadance. Junior nodded as he waved back.
"You got it!" said Junior. Rodan grinned to himself.
"Oh yeah, she's pretty alright," said Rodan. Junior sighed in annoyance.
"You're killing me with that!" said Junior. He and the Transmutants began to move away from the crowd that was near them. Junior watched as Twilight and Shining Armor released each other from their hug. The elder brother made his way into the carriage with Cadance. Junior sighed as he spotted Mosura conversing with Yoshi and a couple of other MONARCH Rebels. The rebels weren't in their combat armor but rather in uniform. He then noticed Yoshi and Mosura sharing a laugh about something he could only guess while smiling at each other.
"No way," said Junior in surprise. Rodan glanced at him in confusion.
"What?" asked Rodan.
"Uh...nothing! It's nothing," said Junior. He looked to Mosura worriedly, wondering if there was any harm if the rebel held feelings for her and if Mosura felt the same about him. He shook the thought off, not wanting to delve into something that wasn't his business. He just hoped that he was as trustworthy as Mosura claimed him to be.
"Oh! Almost forgot!' exclaimed Cadance from the carriage. She poked herself out of the window and tossed a bouquet of flowers.
"Heads up, ladies!" shouted Rodan with a grin. He was looking forward to see the women fight over the bouquet.
"It's mine!!" shouted Rarity as she pushed three women out of the way. Rodan grinned as he watched the bouquet. The rest of Transmutants watched as the bouquet flew past Rarity and instead was headed for Manda. She gasped as she immediately caught the bouquet. She stared at the bouquet with wide eyes and then slowly glanced at Baragon. The two blushed in embarrassment. Manda instead smiled brightly to herself as she held the bouquet. Rarity sighed as she stared at Manda with a scowl.
"Rats," spat Rarity in disappointment. Applejack and Rainbow Dash laughed in amusement. The Transmutants smiled as they stared around them. Junior felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned and found Mosura looking to him with a smile.
"Say, you know what a Shisa is right?" asked Mosura.
"Yes. Why?" asked Junior.
"Well, we have one with us. He's been helping Yoshi and the others," said Mosura.
"That so?" asked Junior.
"He wants to meet you," said Mosura. Junior raised a brow.
"OK. When?" asked Junior.
"Tonight. Princess Celestia has been kind enough to house them here for a while in exchange for information. But, she was kind enough to let me stay with you guys anyway if they didn't since she knows that we're friends," said Mosura with a bright smile. Junior smirked in response.
"Alright. Let me know when." said Junior.
Later that night, the Transmutants walked through the halls of Canterlot Castle while being escorted by guards. The main six and Spike followed them with Celestia and Luna. The group made their way down to a hall where several doors lied.
"Thank you for allowing us to rest here for the night, your highness," said Twilight. Celestia smiled warmly at her.
"It is my pleasure," said Celestia. She then gestured to the hall around them.
"This is where you all will be staying for tonight," said Celestia. She then looked to Junior.
"Your old chambers are available to you, son," said Celestia with a smile. Junior nodded to her.
"Thanks," said Junior. Manda and Baragon were about to go into one room but Blaire stepped in front of the door with a look of disapproval.
"Hey, the guys and the ladies stay in separate rooms! No hanky panky!" said Blaire. Manda and Baragon groaned in disappointment. Blaire walked over towards Junior, wrapped an arm around him and leaned close to him.
"Except for you, bro. You can score with the petite librarian that you had your eye on if you'd like," whispered Blaire with a wink. Junior blushed furiously as he went stiff. She then released him and began to lead the female Transmutants and the main six further down the hall. Celestia and Luna looked to Junior curiously.
"Junior, what was it that-" Celestia cocked her head in confusion. Junior turned to her with a frantic expression.
"Nothing!" said Junior. The Avatars recoiled at his tone. Junior smiled nervously.
"A-alright," said Celestia as she continued down the hall, casting him one last odd glance. Luna made her way over to him with a sharp glare.
"Don't even think about it, mister," whispered Luna.
"I wouldn't dream of it!" said Junior. Luna smiled humorlessly as she continued down the hall and began to follow her sister. Junior sighed in relief. He then felt the stares that the male Transmutants and drake were giving him.
"What?" asked Junior with a shrug.
"Are you afraid of women?" asked Baragon. Junior raised a brow in confusion.
"In general? No. The ones that I know? A little," said Junior nonchalantly.
"I heard what your sister whispered to you," said Rodan with a smirk. He then gave him a thumbs up.
"She gets my stamp of approval for, 'best sister in the world'!" said Rodan. Junior groaned in misery.
"Wait, what did she say?" asked Spike. The older males went stiff. They all began to mumble uncomfortably as they coughed and looked around the room. Spike raised a brow. He groaned in annoyance.
"What?!" asked Spike.
"We'll tell you when you're older Spike," said Junior.
"But-"
"When you're older!" said Junior. Spike sighed as he crossed his arms.
"Fine," said Spike. Junior rubbed his head.
"I can't believe that I have to deal with stuff like that. Too much embarrassment," said Junior with a scowl.
"Don't feel bad. At least you get your own room," said Angirasu. He then opened the door that was behind him and found a large room with one bathroom and two beds.
"At least the beds are separate," said Rodan with a smile. Goro and Baragon opened the other door that was in the hall and found two beds as well.
"I don't know about you guys, but I am exhausted right now," said Baragon as he made his way to the bed.
"Me too. I'm stuffed from the dinner that the Princess was so kind to invite us for," said Goro as he made his way into the room. Rodan and Angirasu looked to Junior with a smile.
"We're just going to get changed. We'll catch you later," said Angirasu.
"Sure. Mosura said that a Shisa or something wanted to see me. He's in the guard barracks," said Junior.
"Alright, see ya," said Angirasu. Junior nodded as he made his way down the hall, alone.
Junior walked outside of the castle grounds. He wore a pair of tennis shoes along with a sweater and a pair of sweat pants. He made his way over towards the castle barracks and opened the doors. Inside, he spotted some guards that were in the middle of removing their armor. He then noticed a few of MONARCH Rebels inside. A few noticed him and shot him a glare while others ignored him. Junior ignored them and continued on passed them until he noticed a familiar face.
"Yoshi," called Junior. The man turned away and found Junior standing a few feet away. Inoue glanced at him warily while Koizumi stood with his arms crossed. He bore a neutral expression.
"Yes?" asked Yoshi as he stood to his feet.
"Mosura told me that your Shisa wanted to see me," said Junior.
"Oh, you mean Caesar. Also, he's not ours. He's his own per...individual," said Yoshi. The Transmutant rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. Where is he?" asked Junior. Inoue sent him a glare at how disrespectful his response was but restrained herself from calling him out. Yoshi cleared his throat.
"Yes. Well, he's outside near the garden," said Yoshi. Junior nodded as he began to walk away.
"Thanks," said Junior as he made his way out to the door. Inoue glared at Yoshi.
"Why did you let him talk to you like that?" demanded Inoue.
"Excuse me?" asked Yoshi.
"Did you not hear the disrespect that he showed you?!" exclaimed Inoue.
"Well, he said 'thank you'," said Koizumi with a shrug. Inoue glared at him.
"I'm just saying," said Koizumi as he raised his hands.
"Inoue, let it go," said Yoshi.
"Are you serious?" demanded Inoue.
"Yes. He's just not ready to trust any of us," said Yoshi.
"I don't trust him either! But don't let him walk all over you!" said Inoue.
"He wasn't walking all over him," said Koizumi as he sharpened his knife. The two looked over to him as he sat on a bed.
"He just hated being forced to ask a man who worked for MONARCH for help. As a Transmutant, it's natural that he has distaste for us," said Koizumi.
"That doesn't give him a right to-"
"Then next time, you say something. Let's see how that works out," said Koizumi as looked to Inoue in annoyance. The Elf scoffed in response. Yoshi watched as Junior left the barracks with a frown.
Junior continued on outside as he searched the area. He sighed in frustration, hating the fact that he had to be around the people who were originally supposed to kill him. It just did not sit well with him at how Mosura was so trusting of them. Junior found himself arriving in the garden on castle grounds. He spotted Caesar sitting down on his rear. Junior went stiff as he noticed the Shisha’s size, but he steeled his muscles and pressed on. The Shisa turned as his ears picked up his footsteps.
"So you've came," said Caesar.
"Well, Mosura said that you wanted to see me. If she said it was one of those pricks back there, then I wouldn't have come," said Junior. Caesar frowned.
"Child, you can't hold your disdain to them," said Caesar.
"The hell I can't!" said Junior in annoyance. Caesar sighed.
"Please, just give them time. They are genuinely trying to set things right," said Caesar. Junior sighed.
"That's what people keep telling me. Is this what you wanted to talk about?" asked Junior. The Shisa shook his head.
"No. I wanted to discuss something of great importance. Something that I have not told anyone as of yet," said Caesar. Junior raised a brow in confusion.
"Like what?" asked Junior.
"Gojira, the world is in terrible danger," said Caesar.
"When isn't it? Just before Luna was a raging goddess of night that threatened to let night last forever, the spirit of chaos was going to spread his chaos across the world. This isn't my first rodeo." said Junior. He crossed his arms in annoyance. "Besides, isn't this something you should tell the princesses?"
"They will not be any help for the actual threat that's coming," said Caesar.
"Huh?" asked Junior.
"Are you familiar with the legend of Gojira?" asked Caesar.
"Yeah. My dad was even named after him," said Junior.
"Junior, there is something that you don't know about yourself," said Caesar. Junior raised his hand up with a deadpanned expression.
"Stop! If you're going to read me my fortune, then don't! I already had this lady tell me some bullshit about me facing powerful foes and something about a three headed serpent," said Junior. Caesar's eyes widened.
"Three headed serpent?" asked Caesar. Junior nodded.
"I see. So you've seen it," said Caesar. The Transmutant looked at him with a raised brow.
"Wait, what do you know about it?" asked Junior. Caesar sighed.
"Child, you are not just any ordinary Transmutant. You and a few others are special," said Caesar.
"I don't see it," deadpanned Junior.
"No. But it is true. You see, the Kaiju were not just legend. They were actual life forms that once roamed our world," said Caesar. Junior looked to him in confusion.
"How so? If the Kaiju are real, than where are they now?" questioned Junior. Caesar shook his head.
"They are extinct. Well, all except for me," answered Caesar. Junior scowled.
"How convenient. I find it harder to believe that you’re a Kaiju. You're not even colossal," said Junior.
"What I tell you is the truth. I have lived for eons compared to you. I have ascended to a higher level than my former self, capable of gaining visions of the future and surviving off of magic that fills the world. I am different from other Shisa because I have the ability to become my former and true self," said Caesar.
"Prove it," said Junior. The Shisa merely chuckled.
"I would, but if I did then I'd cause a mass panic," said Caesar. Junior sighed.
"Look, Mosura seems to trust you guys. But despite that, how am I supposed to believe that you are actually a Kaiju?" asked Junior. Caesar turned and reached for a moth fairy. The creature fluttered onto his paw. Caesar turned and showed Junior the fairy.
"What the-?!" Junior recoiled from the creature. He then noticed how it bore a striking resemblance to Mosura in her moth form.
"Hey, that looks like..." Junior stared at the divine creature in wonder.
"This is a fairy. She is a divine creature that was made after the image of the Guardian of Peace," said Caesar.
"Fairy? Divine? This isn't just a giant moth?" asked Junior.
"No, mister," said the fairy in a small voice. Junior recoiled back.
"Well, that answers my question," said Junior with a startled expression. The fairy fluttered towards Junior.
"You're having trouble believing Caesar, Mr. Takeshi?" asked the fairy. Junior nodded lamely. She giggled in response.
"Don't worry! We'll fix that!" said the fairy as she perched herself on his head.
"Hey! What are you doing?" demanded Junior in annoyance. He felt the creature's claws digging into his head.
"Sorry. I just need to cast this spell," said the fairy as she fluttered her wings, dropping sparkles over Junior's head. He felt himself growing dizzy and dropped to the ground on his knees as he began to pant. He closed his eyes briefly for a few seconds and then opened them, finding the sun light shining down on the grass. He panted as he rubbed his head and felt the fairy flutter off of him and land next to him.
"Did you knock me out? It's day time!" said Junior as he stood to his feet while he looked down to the house cat sized moth in annoyance.
"Not exactly," said the fairy. Junior sighed in frustration.
"Oh yeah, than what's..." Junior gestured to the area around him but his voice trailed off. He looked around himself, finding a vast field of grass where several trees lied up ahead. Mountains were in the distance and the sun was shining brightly down on him with no buildings in sight. In fact, it appeared that he was no longer in Canterlot.
"Where are we?" asked Junior. The fairy fluttered towards Junior and landed on his shoulder.
"Welcome to the past," said the fairy. Junior remained silent as he stared at the empty field. The sound of birds chirping could be heard.
"Uh...how far exactly?" asked Junior.
"I lost count. But it's long before any humans were brought onto the Earth," said the fairy. Junior scowled.
"Take me home," ordered Junior.
"What?! But we-"
"I don't give a shit! I want to go home!" shouted Junior in annoyance. "I did not travel across the sea and kill hundreds of soldiers and Changelings to return to Equestria, only to be warped back in time where everyone that I know isn't even a sperm yet!"
"You misunderstand. We aren't physically here," said the fairy.
"What?" asked Junior.
"This is merely a dream. A vision of the past. My spell is just allowing you to interact with the dream realm around you. Except you can't actually interact with what's going on. Everything you see is merely a shadow of what's happened," explained the fairy.
"So, it's like that story where the greedy governor is introduced to three spirits of Hearth's Warming Eve?" asked Junior with a raised brow.
"Precisely!" said the fairy as she fluttered her wings and leapt on his shoulder. Junior slightly smiled at the act.
"You're lucky you're cute. Otherwise, I would have tied your wings together and tossed you across the field," said Junior. The fairy giggled in response.
"So, why are we here?" asked Junior. He suddenly heard the sound of heavy footsteps. He turned and his blood ran cold as he saw a massive reptilian creature with a long neck and small head. Its belly hung and its wide feet stomped along the ground, its tail swaying behind it as it let loose a loud bellow from its snout. The creature was grey with red markings on its bumpy scales that ran along its neck. Spikes ran along its upper neck and down to its back.
"What the hell?!" exclaimed Junior as the creature stomped towards him. He clenched his eyes shut as it brought its large foot over him but it merely phased through him. He gasped and turned to find the creature walk passed him.
"That's an ancient ancestor of one of the many species of dragons!" said the fairy.
"That's a dragon?" asked Junior. He then began to see a bit of resemblance between a dragon and this creature. This one seemed less threatening, just much larger.
"Doesn't look very dangerous. Aside from the fact that it could crush someone under its foot," remarked Junior.
"You'll know the dangerous ones when you see them," said the fairy. She then began to flutter away. "Follow me!"
Junior began to follow the fairy across the vast field, trailing behind the behemoth that walked the earth. From above, screeching was heard. Junior looked up to find bird-like dragons that bore almost a striking resemblance to Rodan's transformation. The creatures flew in a V formation overhead of the long necked reptile. Junior watched as they soared in the blue sky. The sound of heavier footsteps filled the area. Junior stumbled as the earth shook.
"Oh, that was fast," said the fairy as she turned to look off into the distance. Junior turned as well and his blood went cold at what he saw. The long necked reptile bellowed in terror as it turned to find what was causing the earth to shake. A mile away, there was a massive reptilian beast. The creature appeared like Angirasu when he transformed into his beastly form. Except this creature stood at a colossal height of 60 meters in height on all fours and 150 meters in length. The creature bore more of an animalistic build compared to Angirasu when he transformed. It stomped across the land as it bellowed.
"That creature..." said Junior.
"Yes. Your friend Angirasu's DNA was crossed with a member of this creature's species," said the moth as she fluttered towards Junior. "This is a Kaiju!"
"Wow. So they are real," said Junior in awe as he watched the club tailed beast roar as it began to walk through the forest. Junior heard additional heavy footsteps. They weren't close enough to cause the ground to shake but they were loud enough to be heard. Junior turned and found a Shisa-like beast prowling the land on all fours. Junior's eyes widened as he recognized the appearance of the creature. The beast rose off of its front paws and roared into the heavens, standing at 100 meters.
"Is that..." Junior pointed to the creature that dropped back onto all fours and charged towards an enormous spider. Junior yelped as he spotted the enormous arachnid. It appeared like a 35 meter tall tarantula with yellow stripes over its body.
"Afraid of spiders?" asked the fairy.
"Just big hairy ones," muttered Junior as he watched the multi eyed and limbed creature crawl towards the Shisa as it screeched.
"That is Caesar. He was once an average Kaiju that lived his life. Today, he was on the hunt for food," said the fairy. The spider sprayed a shower of web from its mouth and towards the Shisa, webbing up his mane. Caesar roared angrily as he dragged his head against the ground in an attempt to get the web out of his mane. The tarantula's front legs raised themselves up high as it made a loud hissing sound. The fangs of the creature were exposed as the creature raised its front half of its body higher while back legs kept it standing. Caesar roared as he charged towards the spider. The spider leapt towards the Shisa, appearing to be moving at a slower pace in the air as it came towards the Shisa. Caesar leapt as well and tackled the tarantula towards the ground, causing the ground to rumble. He pinned the spider down as it flailed its legs all around and screeched. Caesar then sunk his teeth into the spider's exposed underside and began to maul at it until the spider died.
"Oh, shit," said Junior as he watched the Shisa devour the spider.
"The Kaiju were diverse animals. They all range from all sorts of creatures that you see in your era," said the fairy as she fluttered onto Junior's shoulder.
"How many were there?" asked Junior.
"As a whole, they were many. But as their own class of species, there were only a few thousand," said the fairy. Junior looked to her in surprise.
"The Earth was able to support this many giants at once?" asked Junior in shock.
"The world was much more fruitful in this era. The radiation helped sustained the Kaiju for their massive size, this prevented them from consuming every living plant or creature in sight. This includes each other," said the fairy. Junior stared in awe as he spotted a couple of more Kaiju in the far distance. They appeared to be Shisa as well, prowling the land.
"Why is it only a few thousand per species?" asked Junior.
"Like any other creature, the Kaiju themselves have a low guarantee at surviving during their infancy to their adulthood," said the fairy. The land around them began to change. Junior suddenly found himself standing on a beach front. Ahead, he spotted dorsal plates sailing through the sea and towards his position. His eyes widened as he recognized the dorsal plates that stuck out. The owner of the plates rose out of the water, bursting into a screeching roar. Junior stared with wide eyes as a dragon-like creature came from the depths and approached the beach. It was the same kind of creature that he turned into, except it bore more of the animal traits. Its arms were short and bore only four claws. The creature bore opposable thumbs, much like he did when he transformed. The creature lacked the human chest build that Junior had when he transformed and merely appeared to look like a giant bear with scales. The dragon roared as it stomped onto the beach with its wide clawed feet, causing the ground to shake.
"I believe you recognize the appearance of this female," said the fairy.
"Wait, how do you know it’s a female?!" exclaimed Junior. The creature walked down the beach, standing to be 355 feet tall. Her scales were a greyish brown color and her dorsal plates were short and dark grey. Her eyes were red and her underside down to her loins was tan. The creature stomped across the beach, giving off a few calls.
"Well, the females are lighter in color compared to males, which are darker. There is also their reproductive organs and behavior," said the fairy. She fluttered after the dragon, prompting Junior to sigh and chase after her. The two followed the female creature as she made her way over towards another member of her kind. This dragon-like Kaiju had a darker shade of gray and scarred scales. The creature lied down next to a crater that bore four eggs. Its dorsal plates were slightly taller compared to the female's and bore white tips at the end.
"That's her mate! During mating season, the males and females will both go out and search for the opposite sex that share specific traits. It involves both of being equal in size and strength! This help guarantees the survival of their young!" said the fairy. The female leaned next to the male and regurgitated a pile of mushy meat. The male lightly groaned as it turned to face the chum and feasted upon it.
"That's gross. Why did you have to show me that?" asked Junior with a scowl.
"I think it's romantic! The male and female impress each other during their courtship rituals, leading to a lifelong commitment to each other as mates, then when it comes to reproduction, they will take turns looking after their eggs until they hatch! Few species of Kaiju actually remain committed to a lifelong mate," said the fairy.
"You must be from this era if you find mates eating puke romantic," deadpanned Junior. The fairy laughed. The Transmutant sighed as he watched the two creatures nuzzle each other. The female began to move the sand with her snout and bury the eggs. She purred as she lied next to the male. "How do they impress each other?"
"They fight," said the fairy. Junior raised a brow at her.
"Seriously?" asked Junior.
"Yep! They fight each other to see if they are strong enough to stand their own against the other. If they can, one is worthy for the other as being their mate," answered the fairy. "That scar that's on the male's muzzle, he got that from his mate when they began their ritual. He wears it with pride, happy to have found a mate that could keep up with him,"
"So, how smart exactly are they?" asked Junior.
"Certain Kaiju such as Caesar, these dragons, the Guardian of Peace are smarter than most animals in your era and this one. These creatures are nearly as smart as whales! They would have grown to be smarter if given a few more millennia," said the fairy.
"Fascinating," said Junior.
"Let’s skip on ahead of time," said the fairy. The vision changed to several months later. The scenery changed to being near a bay area where the two dragons looking down. Beneath them was a hatchling that was grayish blue in color. Its eyes were yellow like the father's and the dorsal plates were dark grey like the mother's. The hatchling stood to be twenty feet tall in height with a body that was similar in build like the burly parents. It was a dwarf in comparison to its parents. The creature gave a high pitched roar as it stared at its mother with big, yellow eyes. The mother nuzzled the baby as she softly growled. The father looked out towards the setting sun and out to the ocean.
"Weren't there four eggs?" asked Junior.
"Yes. But unfortunately for Kaiju like them, conditions were harsh in this era and the Kaiju were forced to fight to survive. Rarely does more than one egg hatch let alone survive into adulthood," said the fairy solemnly. Junior frowned.
"They never made it," said Junior. He sighed. "If Kaiju struggled to survive, how were they capable of reaching to the thousands per species in population?"
"Another survival trick they were blessed with. The Kaiju can live indefinitely as long as they can consume the natural radiation that they can find from sources. In certain cases, they can expand their lifespan however long they desire when they require hibernation. But, this comes with a price," said the fair. Junior turned to the fairy as her voice turned grave.
"This particular species of Kaiju are unique compared to the rest. Their nuclear build makes them stronger, but if they build it up too much without giving time to recover, the energy inside will turn toxic and can cause them to go into a form of cardiac arrest," said the fairy.
"How so?" asked Junior.
"The nuclear energy inside of them will cause the creature to burn up from the inside until it reaches them externally. If not cooled down for a certain amount of time, they can go through a literal meltdown and die," said the fairy in a grave tone. Junior gulped.
"Wow. That's pretty morbid," said Junior.
"It's a tragic sight as well," said the fairy. She turned towards the creatures as they stood with the hatchling.
"That hatchling will grow into a mighty beast, just as his kind was intended. In fact, he will grow into a Kaiju that will be immortalized in legend," said the fairy. Junior looked to the infant in shock.
"That's Gojira! I mean, the Kaiju that my father was named after!" exclaimed Junior. He stared in awe as he watched the young creature waddle along the beach with its parents. The scenery suddenly changed as the land around them turned into a mountain top where they stood and were looking down the beach. Below was another Kaiju that appeared like the dragons that he had seen.
"This is Gojira, eons later. During the age of Kaiju, a cataclysm drove many creatures along with the Kaiju into extinction. Some managed to hibernate and survive. This era took place twelve thousand years ago," said the fairy. Junior stared in awe at Gojira that was once a harmless baby and now a full grown Kaiju. His eyes were smaller and his body was as burly as his parents were. His grayish blue scales had turned charcoal grey. Junior suspected it must have been like ducklings, where their feathers start off as yellow and soon develop into an adult colored coat. The beast roared into the heavens as two giant condor-like Kaiju circled around it. Gojira bit down on one of the bird's legs and then yanked it from the sky. The creature landed on the beach and was crushed under Gojira's foot. The dragon was then getting clawed at by the other. Junior heard panicked cries behind himself and turned to find a few men and women that appeared to have had some origins in the East. Their skin was tan and their hair was black. The men wore loin cloths or robes as the women wore robes as well. They stared in terror at Gojira as they watched him fight the creatures. One of the men spoke in an unfamiliar language as he pointed towards the creature and dropped to his knees with tears of joy streaming down his cheeks.
"What is he saying?" asked Junior.
"He says, 'The God of Rage and Punishment has shown us his mercy by purging the great birds'," answered the fairy.
"The God of Rage and Punishment?" asked Junior with a raised brow.
"Yes. The few surviving Kaiju were worshipped as Gods by the humans. Based on the actions and behaviors of the Kaiju, the humans gave them titles. Gojira was given his name when he visited ancient Neighpon decades later," explained the fairy. Gojira roared as he mauled one of the condors.
"Why is he called the God of Rage and Punishment?" asked Junior in curiosity.
"Gojira is an angry Kaiju. Ever since the Cataclysm, he's been living all alone without the mate he had gained. He's been sad and angry ever since. The Natives, Kaiju, and foreigners have all once tried to attack him when they first ran into him. He retaliated with fury," answered the fairy. She then looked to the Natives that were near.
"They lived in fear of him of not just because of his size and power, but because he reduced their once beautiful temples and city into ash. Now, they have been forced to live like their earlier ancestors in huts," said the fairy. She then turned to find Gojira spewing his atomic breath at the Condor that soared towards him. The bird crashed into the water as its feathers gave smoke.
"Gojira never attacks unless he feels threatened. The humans weren't a threat to him, but he was so lost in anger and grief that he caused as much destruction as possible anyway. He's not saving the humans. He's only protecting himself," said the fairy as she leaned against Junior's neck. Her voice carried a tone of sympathy.
"Hey...that kind of sounds like..." Junior paused. He shook his head in amusement. "No. The comparison between him, me and my old man is too ridiculous,"
"Well, that's another reason why we had to show you the past," said the fairy.
"What do you mean?" asked Junior.
"This Kaiju, your father, they are more alike than you realize. In fact, it was no coincidence that he was named after the Kaiju and it was no coincidence that you were both mutated with Gojira's DNA," said the fairy. Junior looked to her in confusion.
"What are you saying?" asked Junior. The vision once again changed. Junior and the fairy were now standing on a beach where Gojira stood over another member of his kind. This was an infant that stood up to the height of his knee caps.
"Wait, you said only a few Kaiju were alive. How can there be babies that belong to his kind?" asked Junior in confusion.
"He found this baby a while after he just hatched, he was locked in hibernation since the cataclysm. By some miracle, he survived," said the fairy. Junior watched as Gojira nuzzled the baby. The infant licked the adult's snout. The infant looked towards the adult with his big yellow eyes as his tongue hung out of his mouth.
"Gojira took this baby as his own and has been raising him for a couple of years. This is where you and your father are involved," said the fairy as she fluttered off of Junior's shoulder and turned to face him.
"How can these creatures have any more to do with us other than the fact that we were mutated with Gojira's DNA?" asked Junior.
"Mister, what I am about to tell you will come as a shock. It will be hard for you to believe but you mustn't dismiss it!" said the fairy urgently. Junior began to grow worried.
"You and your father's mutation was not an accident. It was planned by those who were on top," said the fairy.
"What are you saying?" asked Junior.
"This was all done for a dark purpose. Someone in MONARCH's high command knew someone who was running the project and wanted you two to be the experiments because he knew of the damage it would cause," said the fairy. "MONARCH acted as a force to shut down the organization after the death of your father because the Director wanted to gather the research and mutagen in order to create more Transmutants. His plan is to use the Transmutants as tools to cause hate, and fear from all around."
"But why?" asked Junior.
"There is an evil force that has a following. They know about the Kaiju. It's why they chose to kidnap certain humans and mutated them with certain Kaiju. Mosura was mutated with the Goddess/Guardian of Peace. Rodan was mutated with the God of Swiftness. Angirasu was mutated with the God of Courage. You and your father were mutated with Gojira," said the fairy. "They wanted you all to be blinded by hate so they could use you in the end. Do you remember your dreams? The ones where you have seen Gojira and an infant Kaiju?"
"What do my dreams have to do with anything?" demanded Junior in exasperation.
"Takeshi, those are more than dreams. Those are memories!" said the fairy. Junior's eyes widened.
"What?" asked Junior.
"Do you ever wonder why sometimes you were content with remaining in solitude? Why you push yourself to the very limits and why you normally fight when provoked?" asked the fairy.
"It's not an abnormal thing!" said Junior.
"No, but it's something you inherited," said the fairy. Junior groaned as he clutched his head. Images began to flash in his mind. They were visions of a greyish blue Kaiju hatchling roaming the forest at night. It was all alone, frightened and sad. The creature lied down and rested in the forest after howling to the night sky. Another vision flashed to the same Kaiju meeting Gojira near the forest. Junior panted as he clutched his head.
"Takeshi, you look up to the stars at night because it brought you peace of mind when you were alone. It made you feel secure," said the fairy. Junior clutched his head. He saw images of the father Kaiju attempting to teach the infant how to perform the atomic breath. The infant failed the first few tries by spewing rings of hot radiation but he eventually sprayed a small stream of the atomic breath. The baby excitedly wagged his tail as he stared up to his father.
"Your father taught you how to defend yourself from danger. You dedicated yourself in hopes of becoming as strong as you could to protect yourself so your father would not have to do it forever," said the fairy as she fluttered closer to Junior. The Transmutant began to sweat as the images plagued his mind. An image of small yellow eyes stared into Junior's soul that came from a demonic skull-like head. Junior recognized the head to have belonged to Destoroyah. But, he felt himself being carried by the demon. The creature was much larger than he was. Junior looked down at himself and found a tail that hung from behind him and that his chest was covered in scales. Destoroyah let loose a high pitched roar as he suddenly released him, dropping him from a thousand feet above the ground. As Junior felt himself fall from the sky and falling towards the ground, he heard the roar of Gojira crying out to him. As he hit the ground, Junior's eyes shot open and found himself staring at the fairy.
"You have nightmares of that demon when your father was killed not only because he was responsible, but because you have seen him before that night," said the fairy. Junior panted as he bore a fearful expression as he stood before the carcass of the infant that had now grown to be a juvenile. Gojira stood over the dead Kaiju and roared to the heavens in sorrow as Caesar lowered his head.
"Stop! Don't show me anymore!" shouted Junior as he clutched his head.
"Takeshi, this is not your first life." said the fairy. Junior slowly looked to the fairy as she hovered towards him.
"Gojira's dead adopted son is you. You are the Kaiju reincarnated into the form of a man. Your father was Gojira reincarnated as well," said the fairy.
"No...no! No that's crazy!" said Junior in anger. He stomped over towards the fairy and glared at her.
"So you're saying that me and my dad were giant monsters that died and were brought back as humans?! That's bullshit!" said Junior. The fairy flew into his face.
"It is not! And you better accept it sooner or later because you aren't the only one! Your Transmutant friends are the Guardians reincarnated! Destoroyah killed you in a past life and has killed your father in your second life!" shouted the fairy.
"If I am a Kaiju reincarnated into a human, then why? Why were we reincarnated in the first place?! Is that something everything goes through when it dies or are we an exception?!" demanded Junior.
"Do you remember Ghidorah?" asked the fairy.
"The golden son of a bitch that attacked us in Saddle Arabia?" asked Junior.
"He's a Kaiju reincarnated as well. But he's far worse than Destoroyah! Someone has reincarnated him a thousand years ago because of his power! He knows what he was and he's gladly helping the enemy in his plans to cause ruin to the world!" said the fairy in urgency.
"You don't realize how serious this is! Certain Transmutants hold disdain towards humans! These dark forces will offer them the chance to get revenge on all humans, and the Transmutants will accept it because they are blind with hate!" said the fairy.
"What is it that I don't realize about the situation? Why should it matter to me?" asked Junior.
"Takeshi, the Kaiju will rise again," said the fairy in a tone filled with dread. Junior's eyes widened.
"How's that possible?" asked Junior.
"A reincarnated spirit may be able to change into its former self if it’s reintroduced to the original spirit that it came from,” answered the fairy. Junior stood in silence as a chill ran up his spine.
"You, your father, and your friends were reincarnated for the sake of defending the world and keeping it in balance just as the Kaiju have before you. In a way, you were gods of the planet. Your responsibility was to keep the world in balance, even if it meant destroying each other for the sake of the rest of life to thrive," said the fairy as she fluttered around the area.
"But life forms can be reincarnated only for specific purposes. Ghidorah's reincarnation was not meant to happen, so you and your friends were reincarnated to help Caesar defeat him and those who will join him," said the fairy. Junior stared down at the ground. The world around him began to fade away.
"What do we do?" asked Junior.
"You must contact the spirits of your past lives as soon as possible. Before Ghidorah is reintroduced to his," said the fairy. She fluttered close to him.
"We will help you and the others with this. But, you will have to learn how to use your power as a shield for the world," said the fairy.
"If whatever is coming is so terrible and is going to knock the world out of balance, why not rely on Twilight and the others? Can't the Elements of Harmony set things right?" asked Junior.
"It is not up to the Elements of Harmony to set things right. Not everyone's heart can change, unlike the Avatar who raises the moon." said the fairy. "Sometimes, people fall so far into darkness that there is no hope of ever returning to the light. They remain in darkness because it brings them pleasure; they curse all that is good and praise all that is evil. The Elements of Harmony would only imprison individuals like that if they were used,"
"What's stopping them from doing the same to Ghidorah and Destoroyah?" asked Junior.
"Kaiju were placed on not just this planet, but across the universe. They all are meant to act as the ones keeping the worlds in balance. That’s why they have either grown to resist or absorb different forms of energy. Including magic," said the fairy. Junior lowered his head.
"So, only a Kaiju is capable of killing another Kaiju. Magic and Technology is useless against them," said Junior.
"So far, that is the case." answered the fairy. Junior closed his eyes and reopened them. He found himself standing in the garden back in Canterlot. Caesar sat as he watched the fairy and Junior stare at each other. Junior sighed.
"What am I going to tell Twi and the others?" asked Junior.
"Nothing," said Caesar. Junior looked to him in shock.
"Nothing?!" exclaimed Junior.
"Takeshi, the time will come when they will have to know. When this is over, they might not see you and the other Transmutants the same again," said Caesar with a neutral expression.
"Is that a bad or good thing?" asked Junior with a frown.
"That all depends on how they see you. You and the others will work to contact your past lives, but for now, be happy with your friends," said Caesar as he placed a paw on his shoulder. Junior sighed.
"The things I'd give for dad to be here right now. I could use some advice since he was supposed to be a part of this," said Junior.
"Don't worry. You will not be alone. Soon, the fairies and I shall tell the others and together, we can overcome this coming conflict," said Caesar. Junior pulled away and began to walk away from the garden.
"Looks like I finally found my purpose in life. Ironically, it turned out to be the very thing that I hated about myself," said Junior. He walked away from the garden as he placed his hands in his pockets. Caesar watched him leave with a frown. The fairy fluttered onto his head as she sighed sadly.
"He's young. I was expecting him to react the way he did. After all, this is too much for someone to take in," said the fairy. She lowered herself down in dejection. "But now we've forced a huge responsibility down on him."
"He'll come around," said Caesar in reassurance. He watched as Junior turned down the corner and made his way back to the castle. "A Kaiju always fights to the bitter end to protect what's theirs."
Later that night...
Junior lied down on his bed in his old bedroom. His shirt was off, exposing the scar over his pectoral and shoulder that he had received from his hated enemy. Inside were a few boxes from his old home that were stacked in a corner. He stared up at the ceiling with a frown as the moon shone through his window and the stars illuminated the sky. There was truth in what the fairy had told him about taking comfort in the stars and the night sky. His mind flashed back towards the so called vision that he had, which turned out to be a memory. The hatchling was frightened and alone. No one was around to greet him after he had hatched or teach him how to survive in the new world that he did not belong to. Then, there was the legendary Kaiju, Gojira. It was as if fate had kindly planned for those two to be together after the destruction of their home. Both had gained a family member in each other. Junior wondered if fate tried to show its kindness again to the infant by making his adopted father reincarnate into his biological father in the infant’s second life.
"First it was just Transmutants against soldiers of a corrupt organization trying to cover up a conspiracy. Now, it’s darkness trying to bring back the Kaiju by taking advantage of this conspiracy. What are the odds?" asked Junior with a sigh. He stared back up the ceiling in silence until he heard a light knock on the door. Junior turned to face his door and slowly stood from his bed, walking over towards the door. He opened it, finding a dark hallway. Junior raised a brow as he looked around the hall.
"Ahem. Down here," said a familiar voice. Junior slightly looked down and found Twilight looking at him in embarrassment.
"Oh. Sorry, I didn't see you. No offense," said Junior with a small smile. Twilight sighed as she shook her head.
"None taken," said Twilight as she smiled back. Her eyes strained to see him in these very dark halls. His back was blocking the moonlight that shone through the window. Junior however, was able to see her clearly. She wore a pair of short white pajama bottoms and a short sleeved lavender shirt. The two remained in an awkward silence.
"So...do you want to come in?" asked Junior in a nervous tone. Twilight's heart jumped at the invite, especially so late at night. She realized that she’d be alone with him.
"S-sure," answered Twilight. Junior stepped away from the doorway and allowed the Elf to walk inside. He closed the door behind himself as his heart slightly raced. Twilight looked around his room with a small smile.
"Wow, all of your stuff is here," said Twilight.
"Yep. I might have outgrown some of my clothes since..." Junior was about to finish but he stopped himself. Twilight frowned as she kept her eyes on the boxes.
"Oh," said Twilight.
"Well...it wasn't so bad. I mean, it was kind of bad, but it could have gotten worse," said Junior. He then scolded himself for back tracking on his experience when running away. It obviously did not lighten the mood up.
"Gojira, I am so, so sorry. I never meant to hurt you," said Twilight as she lowered her head. Junior began to wander to his bed and sat down.
"I'll admit it! I was afraid of you when I saw you change! It was just a great shock to me that I couldn't process it and I had no idea how a Transmutant actually behaved when they transform. We hardly knew anything about them!" said Twilight as she clutched her shoulders. Her tone was distraught.
"I've...I've regretted how I reacted to you ever since. I even tried to look for you, but it was hopeless to find you in the Everfree," said Twilight. Junior's eyes widened.
"You went to the Everfree to look for me?!" exclaimed Junior. Twilight flinched at his sudden tone and kept her back turn towards him.
"Yes. We all did. Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow, Pinkie and Fluttershy, we all went out to search for you and the others," said Twilight. Junior clenched his fist angrily. His anger wasn't directed at Twilight, rather it was himself.
"I'm sorry. It's not your fault, Twilight. I'm to blame for everything," said Junior as he lowered his head. Twilight turned to him with a look of shock on her face.
"How can it be your fault? We we're the ones who went off to look for you and you had no choice on what happened to you!" argued Twilight.
"Because I was the one who kept it a secret for all of these years! I spent day after day, month after month and year after year as a liar. I deceived you all and Celestia because I was afraid of what you all would think." said Junior as he lowered his head into his hand. "I sometimes thought of telling you all instead of keeping it a secret. But I kept worrying about all of the possibilities. I couldn't risk losing the only family and friends that I had. But then, you all found out the worst possible way,"
"Gojira..." said Twilight with a deep frown.
"Maybe things could have been different if I told the truth sooner and I wouldn't have so much blood on my hands.," muttered Junior.
"The Changelings?" asked Twilight.
"Not just Changelings. I killed so many of MONARCH's soldiers to survive," said Junior. Twilight's eyes slightly widened as Junior kept his face hidden from her. "I kept arguing with myself about whether or not if I should. But then things had gone so wrong. I thought Mosura was dead, Angirasu and Rodan were captured and I was trapped inside of a power plant during a Quarantine of a nuclear meltdown,"
"If you were trapped inside, how did you survive during a meltdown? Shouldn't you have been infected with radiation poisoning?" asked Twilight in shock.
"Transmutants were mutated with creatures that survived on radiation. It gives us energy and it keeps us alive. Without it, our bodies would grow weak and vulnerable to disease. It's like nourishment for us. Without it, we can die," said Junior. Twilight lightly gasped. The thought of Junior possibly dying unless he consumed a kind of energy put her at unease. It filled her with more worry. "I was able to survive without food for over a month when trapped inside of the power plant, constantly absorbing radiation."
"It all went wrong after that. I dug my way under the quarantine dome and found myself being attacked by soldiers. I kept pleading to them to leave me alone, but they didn't listen. I lost it after that," said Junior as he slightly trembled. He hated telling Twilight about his experience and what he had done, but he felt that it was better to tell her sooner instead of her finding out in way from anybody else.
"Don't blame yourself for my mistakes, Twilight. I'm the one who put you and the others in danger because I left, prompting you to explore the Everfree to find me. I should've stayed away you from the beginning," said Junior. Twilight's eyes watered.
"So, you regret us ever becoming friends?" asked Twilight in a hurt tone.
"Never. I regret the fact that I couldn't trust you and Celestia enough to tell you the truth," said Junior. He then turned and found staring at him with wide eyes as her tears flowed down her cheeks. He lightly smiled at her.
"I wish I could be normal, like you. Never would I have to worry about being attacked by Transmutants who hold a grudge against me or soldiers who think I'm a mindless monster," said Junior. Twilight slowly made her way over to him as she wiped away her tears. She sat on the bed next to him.
"If you could be someone else, who would you want to be?" asked Twilight.
"I don't know. I guess I'd be a writer, maybe an illustrator. Hell, maybe I could actually have been a hero," said Junior with a sigh. Twilight lightly smiled.
"Well, you're my hero," said Twilight as she took Junior's hand into her own and held it tightly. Junior chuckled.
"You think so?" asked Junior. Twilight nodded to him. Her eyes began to adjust to the darkness in the room a bit. She then noticed that he wasn't wearing his shirt and only wore his pajama pants. She blushed furiously as she stared at his chest. She then noticed something that caused her to gasp.
"What's wrong?" asked Junior in worry. Twilight gently reached for Junior's chest and ran her hand over the scar that was in plain sight.
"Where did you get this scar?" asked Twilight in worry.
"From my father's killer," answered Junior. Twilight looked to him in surprise and found him looking away solemnly. Twilight frowned as she gently ran her hand along his scar and up to his shoulder. She then pulled him into a hug as she caressed his head.
"I'm sorry." said Twilight.
"Don't be. This scar might never go away like the wounds that I've received, but it will remind me who my enemy is," said Junior. Twilight sniffled as they held each other. Her heart began to race in her chest as she remained so close to Junior. The two slightly pulled away from each other and stared into each other's eyes. Twilight blushed furiously as her breaths were coming quickly while trying to calm herself. Junior experienced the same feeling. Both slowly began to lean into each other until their foreheads touched. They stared into each other as they both lightly chuckled in embarrassment.
"Uh..." Twilight looked away, shyly.
"Yeah..." said Junior as he looked to the other side of the room. They both looked back to each other with smiles. They began to slowly lean into each other as their eyes were half open. Twilight had closed her eyes completely as she parted her lips. Junior's heart raced as his senses picked up her soft breaths and caught her scent. He was just inches away from her as he parted his lips as well. Suddenly, a knock came at his door. The two shot their eyes open and turned towards the door.
"Oh, shit," whispered Junior. The two looked to each other anxiously. Junior pointed to under his bed.
"Hide!" whispered Junior. Twilight nodded frantically as she quietly got off of his bed and rolled herself under. She stared from under the bed as she took soft breaths. Junior sighed as he grabbed his shirt from a counter and placed it back on. Junior stood up from his bed as he made his way over towards the door. He opened the door and found Celestia standing outside in the hall with her finger pointed up to the ceiling as her magical aura created made a golden light.
"Oh, hey Celestia," said Junior with a smile. She smiled back at him.
"Hello Junior. Have you found every one of your belongings that we've gotten from your former residence?" asked Celestia.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. I've found everything. Well, except for that gift that Fluttershy had made me for my birthday and my medallion," said Junior. Celestia lowered her glowing hand and took Junior's hand. She removed her other hand from her side and gently lowered the silver medallion with the dragon claws. Junior's eyes widened in surprise as he took the medallion into his hand.
"Twilight and her friends were kind enough to bring this to me the last time that I saw them. Fluttershy is holding onto that picture frame that she made for you," said Celestia. Junior smiled.
"Thanks. I'll have to thank them as well," said Junior. Celestia wrapped Junior into an embrace.
"Oh, I've missed you terribly. I'm happy that your home and safe," said Celestia. Junior nodded.
"Yeah, me too," said Junior. Celestia pulled away from him.
"Junior, I wish I could allow you to return to your former residence, but the house was bought a month ago," said Celestia.
"Oh. Well, no big deal. I'll figure something out," said Junior. He wondered if Mosura and the others would let him crash at their place until he found a new home.
"You could always stay here in the castle with us, if you'd like," said Celestia with a smile. She was hopeful that Junior would accept his offer. Junior looked away.
"Well..." Junior began. Celestia frowned as she noticed his hesitation. "I mean, I really appreciate that. I do. But I don't know if it's such a good idea that I remain here."
"Why not?" asked Celestia. Junior sighed.
"I'm not comfortable with being so close to the rebels. After all, they're...you know what I mean?" asked Junior. Celestia nodded in understanding, but felt a little disappointed.
"Very well. I understand, and I don't blame you," replied Celestia. Junior gave her a reassuring smile.
"I can stay here for a while though. At least until I've finished resting for a few days. I'll even come visit sometime after I leave," said Junior. Celestia smiled brightly.
"Alright. That sounds fair enough," replied Celestia. She then lightly smirked as she began to back Junior away from the doorway. A look of confusion was plastered on his face. Celestia stood next to the bed with a smile.
"You naughty boy," said Celestia with a smile. Junior raised a brow.
"Excuse me?" asked Junior.
"Twilight Sparkle," called Celestia. Junior went stiff as Twilight cupped a hand over mouth in attempt to keep a gasp from escaping. Her eyes trailed off and found Celestia's golden heels just inches away from the bed.
"Come now. I know that you're under there," said Celestia. Twilight slowly crawled from under the bed and peeked her head out to find Celestia looking down on her with a coy smile. Twilight smiled nervously as she laughed in embarrassment. She slowly stood to her feet and locked her hands together in front of herself.
"You know the rules. The boys and girls sleep in separate rooms," said Celestia. Twilight lowered her head down in shame.
"I'm sorry, your majesty," said Twilight. She felt that her teacher was judging her to be a shameless girl. Junior rubbed the back of his head and looked away from Celestia with a blush on his cheeks. Celestia shook her head with a smile and led Twilight out of the room. Celestia tugged Junior by his shirt and brought her mouth close to his ear.
"I expect you to place a ring on a girl's finger before inviting her into your bed, young man," whispered Celestia in a humored tone. Junior blushed furiously.
"I-it wasn't going to be like that!" Junior whispered back. Celestia lightly giggled in response.
"Well, just keep that in mind," said Celestia with a wink. She then began to make her way out of the room and joined Twilight in the hall. Junior sighed as he closed his door and leaned against it.
"Figures," said Junior with a scowl.
In the halls, Celestia and Twilight walked side by side. Celestia glanced at Twilight and found her to be radiating with embarrassment. The scholar twiddled her thumbs as she avoided eye contact with her teacher. Celestia smiled at Twilight and looked back to the hall.
"Let me know if you have any questions or need any advice," said Celestia. Twilight looked to Celestia in surprise. The Avatar looked to her with a wink, causing Twilight to blush. She lightly smiled as she looked away.
"S-sure," replied Twilight.
"Off to bed now, my faithful student," said Celestia as she gestured to the door that led to where Twilight was staying. The Elf nodded in response as she made her way to the room and wished Celestia a good night. Twilight closed the door and sighed as she leaned against it. Pinkie Pie lied on her belly on her bed with her head propped up by her hands. Her legs lightly kicked the air as she stared at Twilight.
"So how'd it go?" asked Pinkie. Twilight gave her a vague smile.
“Oh, I think it went OK," said Twilight.
"Did you..." Pinkie puckered her lips together and made smooching sounds.
"No," said Twilight with a shy smile. She then sighed in disappointment.
"I was close though," said Twilight.
"I ship it," said Pinkie as she turned on her bed and lied back. Twilight looked to her in confusion.
"Huh?" asked Twilight. Pinkie laughed in response.
"Don't worry about it," said Pinkie. Twilight shrugged in response. She made her way over to her bed and tucked herself in under her blankets. She sighed as she placed her head down on the pillow, preparing to drift off to sleep. Pinkie hummed to herself as she tucked herself in bed too.
"GojiXLuna sounds pretty good too. Oh well," Pinkie whispered to herself with a shrug. She then immediately fell back on her pillow and began to snore. She snuggled in her bed, locked in a blissful sleep.
