For most of his life, Godzilla has been feared, hated, and alone. There was hardly ever a time where the kaiju knew of peace. And now, with his son dead, his body melting, and death stalking closer by the second, it would seem he never would.
But fate has a different plan for the King of Monsters.
Thanks to the help from an unexpected source, Godzilla awakens to find himself alive, his body changed, and that he is in a strange new land... full of talking ponies. It looks peaceful enough, but soon, the kaiju learns that finding contentment here may not be that easy.
On the upside, he won't be alone.

Another Godzilla crossover. Nice. You get a fav and a like.
Wow. I honestly didn't expect a Godzilla story to pop up. This is amazing! I can't wait for more!

You should check them out too.
Well this is beginning to interest me. I look forward to the next chapter
I'll be looking forward for the next chapter
it is a good story, This will be interesting
Ah, time to watch and enjoy the tale to be told
Enjoying this so far.
kinda hoping to see Godzilla transform back at some point.
This seems promising. I like how you've done the characterization for Godzilla so far, and that even after his transformation you seem to imply that he is still massive. He may not be as big as he used to be, but it takes a fair amount of weight to 'shake the surrounding area' when one falls over. I find myself curious as to just how big you've kept him.
I like this so far...
Ok who am i kidding, i want more please my Reading needs need to be soothed with reading a great fic (like this one) not to rush you but please i love this story already.
....he still has fangs and sharp teeth....oh dear...
Hmmm... It said the ground shock twice from him falling in his new form. Does that mean he is much bigger than a pony is normally?
p.s. Burning Godzilla fic: cool and new! The potential! Geep up the good work!
so when is next chapter going to be.
Next chapter? When is it coming?

Dude, keep the story going, I love it! BROHOOF /)*(\
Glad you updated. This is a great chapter. I can't for Godzilla to meet the main six. Keep it up bro.
The chapter was great. Spike was very brave confronting the dragon and it's obvious Senior is very different type of hero from the different incarnations of Junior that have appeared as the protagonist (like in the Bridge). I hope the next chapter comes soon because I want to see Godzilla curbstomp those guys.
I'ma take a gander and say Godzilla is larger then celestia by a fair bit, this will be fun
I'm also gonna say he goes taller than even her horn
Very good chapter here. It is nice to see Spike get the occasional chance to stand in the limelight. He always seems to get forgotten. And the progression to him finally snapping back at Garble, even if only briefly, was excellently done.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter, to see Godzilla in action in his new body. I am really enjoying your characterization for him. He seems very calm and introspective, but with that terrible temper just waiting to be unleashed. I'm also pleased to get the start of an idea for how big he is now. He may no longer by a titan, but he's definitely still a behemoth.
I hope that Godzilla and spike will have that almost father and son bond later on in this
I'm liking this a lot so far. More, please, more!
It... it updated... after 3 months it Updated! Woohoo! I'm the happiest prehistoric reptile right now! (well non-radioactive one that is, judging from all these g-fans)
Oooo spike's character is great! He's showing of his good qualities while still getting treated like a punching bag! Godzilla being protective, cool! Loved how he saw spike as Jr. and that made him help out. Now we know G is biger than big mac, but is he like Troubleshoes size? (just incase you haven't seen him he's on MLP s5 ep6.)
Keep up the good work!
dame he is big if his hoves is twice the sise of Big Mac and that is just his hoves, and i am realy liking this Fic so as so many has said befor i hope fore More of it!
"hope is a first step to disapointment"
I'm honestly speechless.
Holy crap, this has been the best fanfiction I've read in a long time. And it's only two chapters! I mean, I can't even say what I love most about it; the vivid descriptions, the incredible way it uses "show" instead of "tell", the entertaining and in-character dialogue, the practically perfect pacing of the story, the great spelling and grammar and just overall writing quality, the emotion behind the characters. It's just all so amazing! No, I think I do know my favorite aspect.
If there is one thing I love most about this story, it is the absolutely perfect characterization. Just look at those parts I quoted above. I don't remember the last time I saw such great characterization in a fanfiction. I mean, I don't think any of them have been even slightly out-of-character, and I can easily see the actual characters from the show acting this way. Especially Twilight and Spike. Speaking of which, I love how you gave so much attention to Spike. Sadly enough, there are plenty of stories which seem to just forget he even exists.
Good lord, I can't even think of anything I've seen so far that I even barely dislike. It's all so amazing! This is by far the best Godzilla crossover I've ever seen on this site (sadly enough, there aren't enough Godzilla crossovers out there despite how great it is, and of the crossovers that do exist most of them are pretty bad or just dull). It's certainly become one of my favorite MLP fics in general.
Honestly, I don't even know what sort of constructive criticism I can give in this comment. I suppose the fact that the three dragon teens showing up right then felt a bit too convenient, but even then I can see the reasoning as the raid thing is from the show (although I'd feel certain it was further away from Ponyville than where Spike currently would be). The only thing I would ask is to see if it couldn't be updated sooner, since before reading I noticed it had been several months since the first chapter was released.
Just, great job!
Very nice to see the next chapter. And especially nice to have a size reference for Big-ish G. Would you say he about the size of the "horse-not-really-a-pony" from the more recent MLP episode? Also, did you give Godzilla a beard?

While more about his size will revealed in the next chapter, I think I can give you all a little spoiler. Think Trouble Shoes (from S5; E6)... but maybe little bit bigger.
5968092
Yes, I did give him a beard. I actually got the idea from this pic of Godzilla Sr., done by Faith-Wolff, who is an author here, but also does excellent artwork, including pictures for Tarbtano's The Bridge. Now, just to be clear, their Sr. is a giant unicorn, whereas mine is a giant earth pony.
Plus, aside from a few characters (Sheriff Silver Star, Flam, and a couple others), most of the stallions in the show don't have facial hair. So, I thought the beard would be a defining feature about him. You know, besides his ridiculous size, that is.
5967877
Wow. Just... wow. I never expected to get such a lengthy comment. I am humbled by your kind words.
Oh, I wouldn't call it perfect. I just watch MLP:FiM pretty frequently, so I've got a pretty good idea of the characters' personalities, and I do my best to stay to them. For the flashback scene, I got inspiration from various fanfics of this site that take a closer look at Twilight and Spike's relationship. Now, Godzilla's character is a work in progress, as I've only really got the Heisei movies to go by.
Actually, there are six; these are the same six teen dragons that Spike first met in "Dragon Quest" at that volcanic area where the dragons gathered. And I do agree that it may have been convenient for them being there, but I felt it was the best way to go. I had thought of Spike running into a manticore or a pack of timberwolves, but dragons, like ponies, have a higher level of intelligence, the ability to speak, and have unique personalities. I wanted those traits there for Godzilla to see that and find out that some creatures in this world can act "human". This is going to play a role here further down the line as the story progresses.
Thank you, everyone, for your comments. I do my best to get the next chapter out soon. Till then, take care!

But that's why the characterization is so great!
Yeah, you think it'd be common sense to have the characters act like they do on the show, but it's almost amazing to see the number of stories that just can't get the characterization right. And I hate to say this, seeing as I love the genre, but crossover stories especially seem to suffer from bad characterization. The characters tend to become one dimensional, with only their most obvious character trait being looked at (Oh, another story where Rainbow is focused solely on going fast because obviously that's all her character amounts to! Oh, another story where Pinkie is a one-dimensional, meme-referencing, 4th-wall destroying cardboard cutout, because when has she ever done anything besides breaking the 4th wall, right?). It's honestly sad that I've just come to associate crossover stories with poor characterization, because that's just what I'm used to seeing.
Now this? This story is completely different. Sure, we've only seen a few of the characters so far, but everything I've seen is spot on. I could easily see the characters from the show acting this way, and you have no idea how refreshing it is to see that in a story like this.
There were six? Oops, must have missed that while reading.
Honestly, I'm glad you avoided doing that, and not just for the reason you mentioned. First, you had Spike make a promise to Twilight to come straight back home, and I love the fact that you actually had him follow through with that. Way too many stories would have had him go straight into danger in order to prove himself (or something equally ridiculous), while ignoring how Spike wouldn't do something like that, especially with how worried it would make Twilight. Second, having a manticore/timberwolf attack in the Everfree Forest has pretty much become its own cliche.
Why do I have the feeling Gojira and spike are going to get along rather well?
Oh shit garble you are screwed
Garrble is gonna get F*cked up!
Hey bro, how's it going with the next chapter? I'm really eager for the next one?
6093789
It's coming, my friend. Just be patient.
6094489 KK
This story dead?
6234504
No, it's not. The next chapter is coming... just a little slower than expected.
But, it is coming!
it will be epic when he unleashed his atomic breath
Wow it's good your back, and thank you for giving that prick dragon a horrible death
It's back!
oh no.
And destroyah is here-
Man, that fight was incredible. Glad to see this story again.
Holy....
That. Was. EPIC!!!!!
You have returned with a vengeance. Cannot wait until the next chapter. Given that G'14s roar can be heard from 3 miles away (and I'm assuming Heisei G is similar) Ponyville should have taken notice.
let me guess those changelings are Destoroyah right.
Good lord!
That was epic!
I don't even care!
If you are going to put those roars in more chapters, I will follow this story until death!
They are just too awesome to not love.
FINALLY!! I've been waiting for the update forever. If possible, can you update quicker than usual? I really love this story. Pleeeeeeeeaase
