//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Dawn of Destoroyah! // Story: Mighty Morphin' Kaiju Rangers: An EQG Crossover // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// 'I can't believe those traitors!', Destoroyah's mind was seething with rage, 'How could they betray Biollante and side with Ghidorah?! The same monster who struck her down! Xen...wherever you are...I hope you're safe' As Destoroyah was walking Canterlot's streets, it seemed odd that none of the people were screaming or running in terror. Namely because she was one of the few mutants that were human in form only. Her power allowed her to fire bolts of micro-oxygen that could dissolve almost any material. However, her power alone wasn't enough to save Biollante. As she was walking down the street, she caught something of interest on one of the TV screens on display. The battle between the kaiju rangers and Krystallak. "These rangers...they were able to defeat Krystallak! Maybe they can help me! Only one way to get them to find me without causing trouble!", Destoroyah said as she raised her aura by a small degree, hoping that her bio-signs would be spotted by the rangers. Unfortunately, it attracted someone else first. King Ghidorah was the first to pick up on Destoroyah's aura, "So it seems one of the two students who stayed loyal to Biollante still lives. Megaguirus!" A woman wearing insect-like armor stepped forth, "No need to dispense with orders master. It'll be fun to play with Destoroyah again! She will either be brought before you and join us, or I will destroy her!", Megaguirus said with a vicious smile on her face. Destoroyah continued walking until she bumped into Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scotaloo. "Oh, sorry about that. All of you OK?" Contrary to her intimidating appearance, Destoroyah was actually quite a nice girl. However, the crusaders were having trouble finding that out due to her choice of clothing being a biker jacket, ripped jeans, a black tank top, and black boots. "Uh...y-yeah we're just fine.", Scootaloo said nervously. "Nice of ya to ask.", Applebloom said quickly "I...like your clothes...", Sweetie Belle said. Destoroyah only smiled, knowing they found her appearance a little bit scary. The smile quickly faded as she sensed another mutant heading in her direction. 'Oh no...Megaguirus! These kids could get stuck in the crossfire!'"You three need to get out of here now!" Before the crusaders could ask why, Megaguirus landed in the area. "Hello Des. What's wrong? You not happy to see your old friend? Aw, who are your little friends?", she said with a sneer. "You leave them alone!", Destoroyah growled, "And don't try to be all buddy-buddy with me! I know why you're here! Tell your master I won't join him! I'd rather die than betray my home!" "So be it...", Megaguirus said with venom, "AS YOU WISH!" At the command center, Twilight noticed the alarm was going off like crazy! "Lea! Take a look at these mutant bio-signs, it looks like two mutants are fighting each other! "Hmm...one of the readings is Megaguirus, and the other is unknown. This new mutant seems to be trying to stop Megaguirus from attacking a group of kids. It was at that moment that Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash noticed the crusaders on the monitor."Applebloom!" "Sweetie Belle!" "Scoots!" "Don't worry. We'll save them! Come on guys, let's go!", Junior vowed to the three of them. Back in the city, Destoroyah was almost on her last legs in the fight against Megaguirus. Her opponent stopped to gloat in her face, "And so it ends for Biollante's prize pupil...". The crusaders had taken shelter behind some rubble, hoping that any moment the kaiju rangers would show up to defeat the monster trying to destroy their new friend. Their wishes were soon granted. "Leave her alone Megaguirus! It's us you wanna fight!" Megaguius smiled evily, "Finally ! I was hoping I would get some fresh victims!", she said as stingers protruded from her fore arms. Anguirus charged in first, hoping to wipe the grin off her face with one well placed punch! Unfortunately, Megaguirus managed to fly past him and latch onto him with her stingers. She then siphoned some of his energy to gain his strength. Anguirus fell to his knees, feeling weakened by the drain. Lea was able to use her magic to restore him, but Megaguirus took notice! "So you can restore their energy huh? Maybe I should drain you dry so I'll never need to feed again!", Megaguirus screamed with a predatory smile on her lips. "Lea!", Junior cried as he blocked the crazed mutant's path. Megaguirus hadn't expected him to get in her way, but didn't mind since his energy was powerful. Once she had what she needed, she used her new ability for a test drive. "Time to play with my new toy! Atomic Blast!", she cried as she fired what looked like a shot from Junior's atomic flame blaster! The rangers started to feel outmatched! They were up against a foe who could not only steal their energy, but also copy their abilities! Rodan was the most worried because she could become unstoppable if she absorbed Lea's energy! As the rangers engaged the enemy, Destoroyah heard a serene voice speak to her in her mind. 'Hello Destoroyah. I have been waiting for you.' 'What? Who are you?' 'My name is Mothra. The rangers have come to help you, but they can't beat Megaguirus alone. You know that.'. Mothra was right. Megaguirus had managed to siphon some of Junior's energy, and gained the ability to shoot out bolts of energy like the atomic flame blaster. 'What can I do to help the rangers?', Destoroyah asked. 'You can join the team...', Mothra said. Soon enough, a morpher appeared in Destoroyah's hand. She knew what she had to do. "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!" Now in ranger form, Destoroyah joined the battle, "Miss me Meg?" Megaguirus was both shocked and enraged, "What? You're a ranger now?!" "And proud to join the team!", Destoroyah boasted. She then summoned her weapon, the beam katana. In a series of blinding slashes. Then she used her micro-oxygen blaster to finish the job! Megaguirus was destroyed in the resulting explosion. "", Destoroyah said confidently. Ghidorah was furious at the sight of Megaguirus' defeat, and launched a potion bomb to revive her and bring out her true form. A gigantic dragonfly-like creature with big pincers on her tail. "Round 2 Des!" In response to the revived threat, Destoroyah decided to try something new, "Time to take my new zord for a test drive! Rangers, I'll give you air support! You just make sure you finish her off!". Destoroyah's zord looked like a bipedal dinosaur with bat wings and a horn blade on its' head. The other rangers formed the megazord, but couldn't get a lock on Megaguirus as she did multiple dive-bomb runs. Until Destoroyah used her zord's horn katana to cut one of Megaguirus's wings, and it's breath weapon to burn a hole through the other. This grounded Megaguirus long enough for the rangers to finish her off with the power sword. One critical slash, and the fight was ended! Once they were back to the command center, Junior, the other rangers, and the HuMane 7 welcomed Destoroyah to the team, "You did a great job out there Destoroyah! I know we'll all get to be good friends. "Welcome to the mighty morphin' kaiju rangers!", the rangers, and Sunset and her friends all yelled. Destoroyah simply smiled, knowing not only that she was able to use her powers to protect Earth, but that she had also made new friends to help her along the way. But at the same moment in her mind, she couldn't help but wonder if her old friend was safe. "Xen....where are you?"
