> Daughter of Godzilla > by Cipher800 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Age of Humanity > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long, long ago, the sole sapient species was Homo Sapiens, more commonly known as humans. They first started small in Africa. Nature would've took them out if it weren't for what humanity had that the other animals did not: their minds. With it, they managed to topple obstacle after obstacle. Predators became prey, diseases were eradicated, etc. But the humans made even more obstacles, and one of their biggest mistakes was bombing Hiroshima, which gave rise to the King of the Beasts: Gojira, more commonly known as Godzilla. Most people would think that he's nothing more than a mindless animal, but Godzilla's mind operates similar to that of a human's. He was angered about man. He thought he was the last of the kind, but the humans have ultimately made him the first. Outraged, he went on a rampage through Tokyo, destroying everything in sight, only to have been supposedly destroyed by a manmade weapon. They thought they destroyed him, but boy were they wrong. He survived, waiting. He thought he was the only one, but he fortunately found someone to mate after the fiasco with King Ghidorah, he and his mate have managed to produce three chicks. There were two that were boys, Godzilla Jr. and Godzuki, but his daughter, Kieraji, is in the spotlight of the story. After the battle with Space Godzilla, the humans worried that Kieraji would mate with either son, so they attempted to kill the daughter of Godzilla with a weapon that transports matter millions of years into the future. She was only a baby at the time. They succeeded in doing so, transporting not only her matter but her soul as well. Godzilla thought they did her, so he decimated their greatest religious centers in an act of revenge. Jerusalem, Mecca and Rome fell to the might of the Kaiju King, and so did many global trade centers such as New York City and Tokyo fall to him. Vatican City, the smallest officially recognized country, fell in under an hour due to the King of Monster's rage. The humans ultimately decided to freeze him. And so they did. They set a squadron of planes to lure Godzilla into the Arctic Circle and locked him in an icy prison for millions of years to come, hopefully never to harm any sentient race again. As humanity bombed its world into oblivion abandoned Earth for the reaches of space, everything changed. New sentient species rose and competed for the throne that humanity once had for millennia. The dragons, griffons, and the like were the oldest and most powerful of these races, but somehow, there was another race that rose above them, they had no grasping fingers, nor did they embrace the world. Those were the ponies, the youngest of the races, and the race most inclined to the magical plane. They somehow put themselves above the dragons, griffons, and cat people with it, and took control of the throne. The ponies diverged into several different species, including changelings, hippocampi/sea ponies, and flutter ponies. As for Godzilla, he was still frozen in the ice, waiting to escape from his frozen confinement. Soon enough, two alicorn ponies were born via mysterious ways. No one was there to witness their birth, but they were found, taught and raised by a powerful wizard known as Star Swirl the Bearded. Celestia and Luna soon enough grew up under the chaotic reign of a mysterious godlike being known as Discord. They had each other to rely on in the Chaotic Era, and found a strange thing that they knew as the Tree of Harmony. They extracted the Elements of Harmony from the Tree and used them to defeat Discord, but there was an unintended side effect. Luna was slowly corrupted and turned into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon. Celestia had no choice but to use the elements to banish her own sister to the moon for a thousand years straight. Celestia ruled with regret and had the sun and moon in her supervision until Luna was purified from the darkness. As for Kieraji, her story is coming up. Remember the weapon that the humans have made? Remember how it sent her millions of years into the future? Well, Kieraji was sent to this time period. But there is one question. Where is she, what form is she in, and who is she now? Twilight looked around to see a burning city. Ponies, griffons, yaks, deer, hippogriffs, and more were running away from something terrifying. Twilight spread her wings and took to the sky to see the source of the carnage. It was a tall, bipedal creature, almost like a giant lizard covered in grey scales. Its long, muscular tail bashing through the buildings, its arm grabbing a dragon's throat while its large back spines grew a menacing red. The creature then incinerated the dragon's head with a devastating beam of blood red energy before directly looking at Twilight herself. And then, the creature spoke in an obvious male-sounding voice. "Awaken Kieraji. Awaken and assume your true form." the beast said. Suddenly, Twilight felt her body warp at an exponential rate. "What are you-- too... painful." Twilight said. She looked at her hooves to see the lavender fur fall off, with pitch black scales in their place and four fingers grow from her palms. She clenched them, they were almost like her human hands. "No." Twilight said as she looked to see her tail no longer, well, her own. In its place was a tail similar to the monster's own, and her mane joined together with her tail, turning white, save for her purple and pink strips. "NO!" Twilight said as her neck lengthened and her mane growing messier, turning white. All that's left was her horn, wings, and ears. "NO!" With that, Twilight jolted awake. She was apparently having a nightmare. "Good. Just a dream." Twilight said as she looked at her hooves. She was still an alicorn, and still no monster, and she was in her bed in the Friendship Castle. Twilight smiled at the fact it was just a nightmare. Soon enough, she heard the alarm clock do its own beeping noise just in time. Twilight walked out to make herself some breakfast. "You two are not gonna believe the crazy nightmare I had! I was in this terrifying city and this giant creature called me Kieraji. The name sounded Tokyonian by the looks of it, and I was transforming whatever that thing was." Twilight said as her two housemates digested every word she said. "That was quite a nightmare, but why didn't Princess Luna stop it?" a purple dragon said. Twilight didn't know. No one knew. "I'm not entirely sure about it, Spike. Maybe she was focusing on something else." Twilight said as she chomped on a bit of her fruit. "I guess that may be right." a mysterious voice said. "Oh, wait. Who said it. IS THERE A GHOST?" Twilight said. "Calm down, I don't hear anything." Spike said in a quizical tone. "THE GHOSTS ARE UPON US!!!" Twilight said. "Twilight! Calm down." a purple unicorn with a blue strip in her mane said. "You're right. It must've gone into my head." Twilight said, blushing in embarrasment. The three resumed eating their breakfast without talking. As for Twilight, she felt the beast to be... familiar. > Monster from the Ice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a cold day in the North Lunar Bay, even colder than usual. Not a town was in sight, not a single soul to see the ice shelf. Nobody saw a large chunk of ice break off and head southward. Sure, a few birds would come to look at it, but that was about it for now. When it finally reached warmer waters, the nearby city of Vanhoover was celebrating this year's Nightmare Night. Usually, you should not take things too literally, but this time, it is going to be a real nightmare night for them tonight. Man, what a tongue twister. As chunks of ice began falling, the being within was revealed. It was a large, grey, bipedal reptile, with large dorsal spines that looked like stylized spear points, and just as sharp, too. The creature felt life dwell within it once again, and opened its fiery orange eyes, wide awake after millions of years in a deep hibernation. It struggled against the ice, attempting to break it. The warmer waters helped a lot, causing the ice to crack even more. It took a while, but finally, the beast was awake. It, no, he dived into the waters below, abandoning what was left of the iceberg, leaving it to melt into the ocean. The beast's eyes opened once again, looking over the area. Godzilla has finally awoken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zhJljblPcY Godzilla let out a loud roar and shot an atomic breath upwards into the sky. He dove back into the water, and began to have a strange feeling that his daughter is alive. But how? She was killed by the human-built weapon. Nonetheless, his strange feelings are driving him inland, wherever it is that his feelings are taking him. Godzilla continued swimming until he heard the music of a festival. Going through this city, to him anyway, met one step closer to complete the desire that is inside him dear. Nightmare Night. It is a lot like our Halloween in many ways, but also different. The history of Nightmare Night dates all the back a thousand years, when Nightmare Moon was banished. The candy was originally an offering to Nightmare Moon, but it eventually became more of a leisure thing. Luna at first felt offended, but then opened up to the holiday. Like in Halloween, everybody dresses up in costumes and trick-or-treat around the town or their local neighborhood. Oh, how fun it was, well, to the Vanhoovians, anyway. But this time, Nightmare Night is a devastating reminder of when the ponies first found out about the ancient beast imprisoned for millions of years. "SKREEEEOOONK!" Everyone turned their heads to see a powerful wave running right towards them. What was even more terrifying was the being that caused the tsunami, Godzilla, Gojira, the King of all Monsters himself gloriously roars as the tidal wave destroys the entire coastal district of the City where Nature thrives. "Mommy, is the bad dragon-looking thingy gonna turn us into fish." a lone colt said to his mother. Godzilla felt small blasts of energy hit his feet. He looked down to see those insects trying to shoot him down. Those things cannot affect him with that little light show. If anything, they just annoy him. But nonetheless, his feelings led him to trek down southeast. The ponies kept blasting the beast with magic, but it doesn't seem to be affecting it. So, they began to turn to artillery, which mainly consisted of cannons and old siege weapons. They never went to war, but why did they even make them in the first place? Godzilla continued marching southeast when he felt small rocks landing on him. He looked to see knock-offs of those archaic siege weapons that the humans have made long ago. That made him mad, and he had a lot of rage stored up. Since these humans are nowhere to be found, he'll take it out on these new insects. He turned around to see a lot of insects running in fear. Godzilla began marching to the weapons and raised his foot, stepping on the sources of the barrage until none remained. He continued marching onwards, showing a scowl on his grey, reptilian face. Why was he marching there? He felt that his daughter was still alive, but is he really sure about that? As the King of Monsters pondered, he felt another barrage hit his cheek. He looked at yet another set of siege weapons, but these floated above, almost as if they are being pulled by those winged insects. This time, Godzilla's spines began to glow blue as he shot his signature atomic breath at them. The unlucky insects in the middle of it got completely or partially incinerated as their remnants fell to the ground. Godzilla swatted the barrage like flies with his muscular arms. He grabbed a nearby skyscraper and threw it at the flying weapons, causing them to flee. By now, most of the city was destroyed, and the King resumed his trek southward. Godzilla snorted at the remains of Vanhoover and began continuing his walk southeast. Only several hundred residents of the city where nature once thrived survived the attack. Many families were lost, and many funerals were held on that fateful day. Twilight was having these same nightmares over and over for the last few weeks. Those said nightmares about this monster, this large grey reptilian character kept haunting her every night for the last three days. Somehow, she never woke up in the middle of the night, and often they happen at the final parts of her sleep. Princess Luna's power was paritally blocked, she cannot change the dream, but she was able to enter it once, but only once, and only for a short time. "Princess Twilight, I have terrible news!" a familiar orange-maned Wonderbolt said. That was Spitfire, and she was the current head of the Wonderbolts. Accompanied by her were Rainbow Dash and Soarin. Spitfire bowed to Twilight before Rainbow began speaking. "The city... it was destroyed by something... something big!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight began to feel uneasy. "And... what was it? Please tell me it was an Ursa Major!" Twilight said. "No Ursa Major. It was 55 meters tall, grey, and had those weird spines. Here's a picture." Spitfire said as she handed a picture to the now-frightened alicorn. "No, not Godzilla..." "GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!" Twilight said as she threw the picture away, letting out some weird blue fire from her mouth and incinerated the picture. Twilight covered her mouth with her hooves in sheer horror after a few seconds. "There is only one exclamation for all this! I'm in a coma and I can't wake up. WAKE UP SELF! WAKE UP!!!" the crazed alicorn said as she aimed to bang her head on the hardest thing she can find, only to be stopped by the three Wonderbolts. "Snap out of it, Twilight! What's all the ruckus?" Rainbow Dash said as she unfortunately had to hold her own friend down. She fortunately forgot about her magic for the time being, so it was easy to calm her down. After a while, they have finally managed to calm the Princess of Friendship down, and Twilight began to tell them why she was in so much horror at the sight of the beast, and why she knew it as 'Godzilla'. "So, in my dreams, this Godzilla character shows up, and then I began transforming into what he is, and then I wake up every time. This time, I think that it's happening for real." Twilight said. All three Wonderbolts had their jaws drop at the story as Twilight exclaimed. "This is obviously an emergency. The princesses need to know this." Soarin said plainly. "Yeah, you're right. Spike, come here, quick! Send this to Celestia. She might know what to do! Oh, and send another one to Luna as well." Twilight said as she handed a parcel to a small purple dragon with her magic. Thank goodness she had wrote this head on, she thought that this was going to be an emergency. As Spike enveloped the letter in green fire, Twilight got up from her chair, pacing around. A million questions races through her mind as she was trying to find the answer. > Black Scales > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up with a start inside her bed. Another dream? No, but this time, she felt something painful. She looked up on her left front leg to see that a few patches of her own fur have fallen off, showcasing her bare pink skin. But that's not all. It felt like a thousand tiny knives were poking at her skin as it darkened. She felt her skin growing harder on whatever places the fur has fallen off. Twilight yelled in pain and shock as the newly-formed scales became finished. She looked at herself to see that there were scales on her upper chest, her left hip, and her hind hooves, which were now three-toed reptilian feet complete with claws. Her breathing became heavier and heavier as she saw more and more scales. Fortunately, the transformation has halted for now, and her head and neck remained intact, except for the fact that her mane was beginning to whiten. Unfortunately, this was enough to make her scream. Save the screams, because instead of that, she let out a torrent of that strange blue fire out of her mouth, again. It was fortunate that nobody got hurt, though it did attract the attention of someone else. "The clock is ticking Twilight, the clock is ticking! What to do, what to do..." Twilight said as she curled up into fetal position from under her covers, folding her wings around her body. She was about to cry when the door opened. "Twilight! What's all the ruckus?" Spike's familiar voice asked. Twilight pondered. What were they going to do to her? Was she going to be hunted down by her own friends? Was she going to be executed? What was going to happen? Will she have to flee Equestria and abandon harmony? What is there to do? "Get away from me! I'm turning into a monster!" Twilight said. "Oh come on Twilight, your over-reacting, again!" Spike said as he walked to the bed to uncover Twilight. "I swear, it is not gonna be- HOLY GUACOMOLE!" Spike was shocked to the brim at Twilight's current state. He looked at the various patches of scales that have formed on Twilight's torso and legs. Her own hind hooves were replaced by the three-toed feet of a certain reptile that has been rampaging across Equestria lately. Twilight's mane was starting to turn white on some places, save for her purple and pink strips, and looked messier than usual, not the kind of messy when she was crazy, but a more natural kind of messy. Her sclera was not white anymore, but starts out red and turns yellow when it gets closer to the iris. "What are you going to- oh no!" Twilight's jaw opened wide at the sight of her friends and the Princesses in the room with her. "DO IT! BANISH ME! I'M A MONSTER NOW!" Twilight said before she felt her mentor's hoof touch her shoulder. "Twilight, I'm not going to banish you. This is beyond your control, beyond my control, and everypony thinks I'm omnipotent. The closest one to omnipotent that I saw was Discord, and even he has his flaws." Celestia said. Twilight grinned at her mentor's kind words. Even though she's turning into what Godzilla is, she still knows that Celestia's still kind to her. "But how do we stop it? I mean, how do we stop the change and reverse it?" Twilight said as her head hung down low. "There is no way I know of, but maybe this Godzilla thing knows a thing or two." Luna said. "We can't just talk to him! HE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND US! Even if he did, you cannot understand him! There is also that toxic energy that he emitted at Vanhoover. It's pointless!" Twilight said. "I know, but we could probably see it through Godzilla's memory." "You mean..." "Yes. I know a spell that would allow me to enter Godzilla's mind and we can hopefully find out on why you are slowly transforming into a member of his race." Celestia said. Twilight's smile returned to her. Apparently, there IS a way around this. If the princesses can enter Godzilla's mind, they might find a way to take him out for good and reverse her transformation. It just might work. "Thank you, Celestia, thank you." Twilight said as she hugged her mentor. Celestia hugged back with tears of joy from both. Celestia was surprised that Twilight's new scales were warm to the touch, despite seeming to be cold at first glance. Everyone around them could not resist but to join. Purple eyes with orange sclera locked with magenta eyes as they all let go of the group hug. "Luna. We're ready..." Celestia said to her sister. "I wish you luck, Celestia. I'm confident that you will reverse the damage." Twilight said as Celestia walked towards Luna. "I haven't did this in years, so I might be a little sloppy." Celestia said as she summoned a scroll into existence. "Viewers salve, hic auctor est loqui, et non ego et pueri dicere de aliquibus." A circle formed around the two princesses as Celestia read the scroll. She had no idea what she was saying, no one did. "Quia longum iter est mihi, et habeo fateri. Tunc vos es typing unus brevis fabulis est Verbum, et tunc quam probabilitatem bonam magnus ictibus exactis occidentes." Twilight looked towards the two princesses as a bubble formed around them. "Don't worry, Twilight. Even if we are gone, we are still here in your heart." Luna said before the last part of the spell was recited. "Non est diu, quod sic eam habeat. Ego hic iam fere per annum pro nunc. Ego veni tam longa, longa via. Nunc, respice ad me hodie. Ego meam habuerunt ut remoris et error meus, et spes mea gaudia, sed et ascenderunt per viam meum huc. Et haec scribimus vobis ut spero inspirat fabulas. Hoc nuntius potest esse primum fecerunt me, sed hoc non erit ultimum vitae meae dispenses." As Celestia finished reciting the final line, both her and Luna were engulfed in light, and vanished. Twilight closed her orange eyes and prayed for the best. She hopes that they will go out with the information they needed. "Don't worry, Twilight. They never failed you as long as you can remember." Starlight said as she walked towards Twilight and put a hoof on her shoulder. Twilight smiled and got out of bed. "Thanks, Starlight. I do not know if the spell would work the way it should, but they've not messed up yet." Twilight said as she regained her confidence for them. There's no turning back for them now. They have to do it, they both can do it. > The Mind of the Monster > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia and Luna appeared unconscious somewhere, but where? Celestia was the first to wake up. She looked around, seeing a world that closely resembles the Astral Plane, only it was much darker and completely grey. "Luna, wake up. Do you know where we are?" Celestia said she nudged her sister awake and the two began to look around, not noticing a giant pair of orange eyes gaze upon them from the darkness behind them before disappearing. The two sisters continued walking until they came across a pair of doors, but they were not like the grand doors of Canterlot, they were not held up by wood, but held up by skeletons of bolted metal. No knob or knocker was visible, and the framework was made of intricate stone constructs and designs. At the keystone, there was a giant ruby glittering happily on its perch. "Alright, this is it, there's no turning back now..." Luna said. Celestia nodded at her sister as the two pushed the doors open, going into the bright white light in the other side of the doors. Celestia and Luna soon enough found themselves underwater, and almost chocked. Holding their breath, they swam up to the surface to see that they were in an ocean near a burning city in the dead night sky. It wasn't the lovely shade of purple of Luna's night, but it was a pitch black sky with no stars in it. They swam towards each other before seeing something splash out of the sea. It was not the giant grey beast that they were familiar with, but a giant, golden dragon with three heads and a split tail. They both looked as Godzilla rose from the water. The winged hydra began to glow gold, lighting up the sky in all its glory. Godzilla roared at the beast as lightning came out of its heads, striking the water below before flying forward. "Sister! This is getting too bright!" Celestia said as she and Luna covered their eyes. The hydra faced directly towards Godzilla and shot more lightning at him and seemingly electrocuting him. The creature then went directly towards Godzilla, shooting more lightning at him before its glow vanished. Godzilla's spines began glowing as he shot his blue fire directly at the monster, causing it to blow up. As Godzilla roared in victory, Celestia and Luna decided to go to another memory, charging their horns, they found Godzilla terrorizing a burning city, fighting a giant robotic mockery of him with drills for arms. Its short and stubby tail, along with its feet allowed it to have the aerial advantage. The robot flew in a circle and shot beams at Godzilla and missed him. Whatever shot that had landed on him did not faze him, if even barely. It flew away as Godzilla lumbered about. "Tia, we would be around for over an hour at this rate." Luna said. Celestia nodded and fast-forwarded the memory. The city was now covered in snow white crystals. Godzilla and the robot joined forces to fight a demonic duplicate of Godzilla, one with a golden trident on its head and two large crystals growing from its shoulders. The robot battled Demon Godzilla and separated into two separate pieces as the real Godzilla walked away from the fight and grabbed three large oval-shaped objects and carried them away from the battlefield before returning to fight Demon Godzilla and join forces with the robot. Celestia and Luna flew over to the objects and realized that these things were eggs. Godzilla was apparently a father. Each egg was a different color than the others. One was a dark grey with lighter grey and red spots, one was a light grey with yellow and blue spots, and the last one rocked the two princesses to their cores. The last egg was a dark grey with purple, and pink spots as well as lavender splotches. The color scheme was all too recognizable. "Twilight!" Celestia said as she looked at the egg. Luna was also shocked as well before shaking her head. "I wouldn't get my hopes up, sister. Something feels really fishy about this." Luna said as they turned around to the fight. Godzilla fired his atomic breath, destroying Demon Godzilla and what was left of the robot. Godzilla walked towards them. Soon enough, Celestia decided to charge her horn again, this time, they were in an empty field. The sun and moon moved millions of times and Godzilla was no where to be found. Where was he? When Celestia decided to stop, they were flying above an empty field with strange, alien-looking flora and fauna. "I think we may have gone to far into the future." Celestia said. She and Luna were about to leave the place when they slammed right into something. They looked to see none other than Godzilla. The two sisters tried to move, but they were frozen in place and were suspended right at eye level with Godzilla, who glared at them with a snarl. The creature then opened his mouth as it started to glow blue. Both alicorns tried to teleport out, but instead, they were slammed into the ground, and their horns and wings were disabled. With no way of accessing their magic, they were stuck there. "Let us out, beast!" Celestia said into the void. "Why should I let you out? So you can control Mother Earth? So you can keep my daughter from me? Either way, I am not very keen on letting you do that." a cold, unforgiving voice said from the void. "You can speak? But how?" Celestia said. "Well, normally, I do not tend to talk in human speech, not even to the last one who entered my mind, which, in retrospect, gave me the knowledge to do so. But ask this, am I the one who's controlling the sun, or am I the one who's controlling the moon, or even the stars, for crying out loud!" Both alicorns were shocked at that statement. "Your shock is clearly visible, Celestia and Luna, you didn't pick the right spell. It was in Latin, not your standard English. I can give you a break on that since there are no languages other than English spoken in your fair land. To me, I saw everything you done." "What do you mean, beast!" Luna said as a pair of orange eyes opened and looked directly at them. "Even though you are neither angels nor demons, what you are doing to the Earth is just sickening. Your little ponies control the weather regularly, the seasons are controlled all year long, and don't get me started on the plants and animals. They cannot even care for themselves thanks to you clowns." Godzilla's voice said as the eyes glared, occasionally blinking. "It's funny that you two think you are on top of the world, that you two can control the sun and moon themselves. You cannot do these things at all. It just doesn't work that way, not even with your own magic." Celestia glared at the eyes before Luna stomped her hoof at them. "CRAVEN BEAST! DOST THOU REALLY WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT!" Luna yelled in the Royal Canterlot Voice. "You have no right to do this! If it weren't for me and Luna, the sun and moon would collide and fire would rain from above! If it weren't for the ponies, the animals would die, the weather would stop and the plants would wither! It's always been like this for as long as anypony can remember!" Celestia said. The eyes burst forth to reveal the large black-scales head that they were attached to. "Key word: anypony. To me, that means your race." Godzilla said before his face went back into the darkness. Celestia's own vocabulary was used against her. "And if it weren't for you entering my mind, you would never have seen this. You would never have seen my story. The humans have lived through it. Even though I was born during their modern era, I have strangely enough influenced man more than they managed to influence me. I went through time and killed an entire pantheon of gods! But I'm not here to destroy you just because of what you did to the planet. All I want right now is to finally reunite with my only living child, Twilight Sparkle." "Now be gone!" With those final words, Celestia and Luna were forcibly pulled out of Godzilla's mind, and all went black for them. > The Princess and the King > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Godzilla walked on towards Ponyville. Even though he was visited in the mind, he was still conscious, and due to that, he had full control over his own mindscape. It was quite an informational visit, too. He got to see what has become of his world while he was gone. Humans are most likely extinct, and on their place was at least a dozen different races, one of which was the ponies. He scowled at what they were doing to nature, their extent of controlling it. Even their own rulers have coined themselves into believing their own fantasies. They seem to have raised the sun and moon from the ground perspective, but he knew that they were only turning the planet at its axis. But there are good things that came out of them. His daughter had landed in this time period and was adopted and raised in the castle city of Canterlot by adoptive parents. Somehow, he did not know why, she was turned into a pony in the process. Kieraji, no, Twilight was under great care. Apparently, this Twilight Velvet along with her husband, Nightlight, have cared for her and raised her like she was their own. Even he had to admit that Twilight was a very, very talented young lass. She's only fourteen years old and already so successful. Usually, humans are around eighteen when they start to care for themselves, but this was another race. Godzilla marched through the grasslands and smiled when he finally saw where he was going to all that time: Ponyville. Once a nowhere town near the capitol, this little village has became one of the most important cities in Equestria. Godzilla took a mental note on how pretty much every town was basically a pony pun of several towns that the humans built. Manehattan, Vanhoover, you name it. Godzilla marched to that nowhere town, ready to finally reunite with his own daughter and take her back. Twilight looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. Apparently, Starlight's new spell apparently worked, and she accomplished her lesson, it's a win-win. There were no more black scales, no more claws, and no more white hair. She was a pure alicorn again. But there is still Godzilla to worry about, who would be even tougher to deal with. He is completely impervious to any known magic, and if he finds her, he will correct the changes, and not in a good way. Soon enough, Starlight walked in. "Twilight, thank goodness it worked!" the lilac unicorn said. "Reversed my transformation, check. New energy-erasure spell, check. Thank you Starlight." Twilight said, hugging her friend. Soon enough, a bright flash of white light temporarily blinded the two, and Celestia and Luna were right there. But something wasn't right. The two sisters were incredibly wounded, with gashes and scars all over their bodies, dripping crimson blood onto the floor. Their manes were no longer ethereal and ever-flowing, but have degraded to the normal texture of hair. "Celestia... Luna... please tell me it's over! What did you do? Did you succeed?" Twilight said as she pulled out the first-aid kit Fluttershy gave her and wrapped bandages around their wounds. Celestia was unconscious, and Luna was the only one still awake. "Twilight... you look... normal. Did you reverse your transformation?" "You have to thank Starlight for that, but what happened? You look like a train ran over you." "He knows too much..." Luna said. Twilight began to breathe heavily as Luna spoke. "Who... what happened? Who knows too much?" "G... G... Godzilla happened. He had full control of his mind... he knows too much... we failed, Twilight... we failed. He knows every inch of Equestria now... and he's..." Before she could finish her sentence, Luna fell unconscious, silently breathing along with her sister. "Luna? Celestia? No, don't die. Not too soon, we'll get you better. Starlight, take them to the hospital, and fast." Twilight said. Starlight nodded at her teacher and proceeded to take the two princesses to Canterlot Hospital. Her horn lit up, and she was gone in a flash of light. Just then, she felt a small earthquake. Then another, bigger than the last one. Twilight looked up in fear as the entire castle was uprooted by a grey-scaled hand to reveal none other than Godzilla himself. Twilight proceeded to fly away from him as fast as she can, forgetting her magical abilities with all her attention on getting away from the King of Monsters. Godzilla merely walked towards her, and he was surprisingly fast, too. Twilight had to get this thing away from Ponyville, because he's gaining on her at a steady rate. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?" Twilight said. As Twilight flew away from the town, Godzilla chased his long lost daughter. He had the suspicion that she would react exactly like this when she saw him. She was too young to remember him. Sure, this Luna person saw her dreams, but his point still stood on the fact that Twilight did not remember that he was her father. He shed a tear at the fact that his own daughter was scared of him. As they went away from Ponyville and into the wilderness, Twilight had one more sentence to say. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?" Godzilla had no choice. He never spoke, with the exception of the encounter in his own mind. But this time, he had to. "I was just thinking that you would say that." "YOU CAN SPEAK!?" Twilight said in a shocked and afraid tone. She stopped midair and faced him. "I can speak, but I haven't done so, and my first words were very, very recent. I'm not going to kill my own daughter, I'd never do that. Besides, you have only just reunited with your own father, your true father." "LIES! YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Twilight said as she was about to run away. Godzilla took note of her records and what the princesses were told, and the fact that Twilight was changing back into a form she had lost millions of years ago. He did not miss anything important. "I'm sorry, but I have to reactivate your reactor." Godzilla said as he let some of his excess radiation escape from his body and transferred it to Twilight, causing the parts transformed before she reversed the change to well, change back. Twilight fell from the sky to be caught in his hand, spazing out as patches of scales formed. Her hind hooves changed back into the familiar reptilian feet, and her mane was turning white again. "What are you... doing to me?" Twilight said before she lost control of her body and lay numb. She was still conscious, but she is temporarily unable to move her body. Godzilla shed some tears before speaking once more. "I am reverting you back to your true form. I'm sorry, Twilight. I really am sorry. I destroyed your life before you can live it, but I had no choice but to do it. I lost you once and I won't lose you again." Godzilla looked around, making sure there were no eyewitnesses. "We are going far into the unknown world. How far? I do not know that. What I do know is that we're not going to return to the world you once knew..." With that last remark, Godzilla marched towards the ocean with a now unconscious Twilight in his enclosed hand. Past, past, it's all past. Equestria is past, the two sisters are past, the known world, he is putting it all behind him as he advances towards the ocean, never to ever return. Changing Twilight back completely will have to wait. Right now, he walks towards the ocean, never even so much as looking back at the world Twilight knew. > Uncharted Lands > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Godzilla swam through the North Lunar Sea and is now once more in the open ocean. He went hundreds of miles beyond Equestria and her sphere of influence, and way past the nearest pony. No one saw him. They were too afraid to even look as he walked back into the ocean, carrying the still unconscious Twilight with him. He swam past the farthest peninsula of the Undiscovered West and swam south. Fish swam away and even the great white sharks took note and fled from the King of Monsters as he swam over and looked at a large coral reef and its beauty, being careful not to harm the new foliage the ocean had to offer. Godzilla swam until he found a sea mountain that looked big enough. He poked his head out of the water and saw a new island, maybe even a continent worth discovering. No more weather control, no more horse-dependent life, all that is behind him. All he was right now is just some time with his daughter. As he walked out of the water and into the island, he thought about how his daughter would react to this place. The flora was very tropical and a lot like a jungle from her geography books, but the fauna would be almost alien to her. The terrain was not flat, but a mountainous area. The tress only came up so far, first jungle, then temperate, then conifers until shrubs and grass took over. It was a truly beautiful sight. The King of Monster walked further inland with Twilight in his hand. Once he found a suitable cave for her, he gently lay her inside it and waited patiently for her to wake up as he went to gather food to feed her when she wakes. Hopefully, she isn't messed up too bad. The morning sun rose, its light filtered through Twilight's eyelids as she squirmed around to move to a more comfortable spot. She shifted her head away from the sunlight and began to slowly open her eyes. Instead of being on a nice warm mattress in her bedroom in Canterlot, she was on a nice warm pile of grass inside of a cave. The last thing she remembered was going to bed just three days before the Summer Sun Celebration. She pushed herself up to all fours and walked to the cave's gigantic entrance. Outside, she saw a landscape she wasn't familiar with. It was a mountainous terrain covered in a lush tropical forest. As it climbed up the mountain, the jungle turned into a deciduous forest, and those gave way to conifers. After the treeline, shrubs became dominant and were closely followed by grass until no more plants can grow. A large glacier sat in the distance, the melting ice feed a river that led to a lake which fed two rivers, both rivers were feeding into the ocean. It was very beautiful, yet something was off. Twilight's wings slightly fluttered in agitation and wait, hold on just a second. The wings were moving about like they had a mind of their own. She attempted to hold them down when she saw black scales that grew from under her fur. Twilight looked at her new hind hooves, only they were not hooves anymore. In the place of her hind hooves was a pair of three-toed feet covered in those same black scales. Her own mane and tail was turning white on some spots, save for her purple and pink strips. "WHAT AM I BECOMING?!" Twilight screamed, scaring not just birds, but a flock of unfamiliar life forms. They were serpentine in nature and were covered in what appeared to be fur or feathers. Two pairs of batlike wings propelled the creatures into the sky. Those things are bizzare. "A better question would be, where am I?" Twilight said, sitting down and staring at the landscape. She had never seen those species of bird before, nor did she see those unfamiliar flying serpent things. She fluttered her wings again, this time, she was trying to master those strange, unfamiliar limbs that were placed on her back. She was alone with her thoughts. She did not know where she was or how she got there. She curled up in fetal position, holding her new wings tightly around her body. "I don't know where I am. This isn't Canterlot, heck, it doesn't look like Equestria. It was three days until the Summer Sun Celebration and now, NOW! Now I'm stuck in an unknown place and I would be an alicorn it it weren't for these scales growing out from my own skin." Twilight said. She prepared to teach herself to fly so she can get out of here until a voice spoke. "I'm sorry for taking you away from your own friends. I really am." a mysterious, deep voice said. It sounded male, but when she looked around, no one was in sight. "What are you talking about, I have plenty of friends!" Twilight yelled out. "Do you know their names, Twilight?" "Moondancer, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, and Minuette are my friends and my classmates." "I was worried this might happen." the voice said. "What you mean by what would happen? The transformation? The scales, the wings? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!?" Twilight said as she stomped her hoof. "You knew me before you woke up, and forgot me when you did. You've accomplished so many tasks and defeated so many foes during your lifetime. I could never have been any prouder of my own daughter." The owner as the voice walked towards the cave as he spoke. It was nothing like Twilight though he would be. The creature was bipedal, reptilian, and very large. The being was covered in those same black scales Twilight had on her. "What do you mean? I have done nothing worthy of legend. Who are you and what have you done to me?" Twilight said as she started getting weary all of the sudden, a familiar growl can be heard from Twilight's stomach. The beast held his hand outs towards the cave and spilled out a pile of fruit and fish. "I knew you would've been hungry when you woke up. The fruit and fish are yours eat." Twilight stayed silent at the fish part, but she at least had some fruit. Is he trying to make her eat cows or deer next? "I know that it's hard to take everything in. When I first turned into what I am now, I was devastated. I was the last on my kind one moment, and the next moment I was the first. At least, I thought I was until I found a female with the same mutation, and we brought three children into the world. Two were boys, and one was a girl: that was you." "You aren't my father!" Twilight yelled, with tears in her reddened eyes. "You are smart, though you still have the mind of a child. You do not have anything to worry about all when around me. I have lost you once millions of years ago, and I have finally found you. You are my daughter, Twilight." the beast said as he coiled around the mountain, wrapping his tail around the giant rock with ease. There's no turning this guy around. He really says it like he means it, and like he believes it. What if he is right? Twilight fought those unfamiliar thoughts and gazed out into the sky. Her stomach grumbled again. She decided to grab the first wild apple she saw and took a bite out of it. It tasted just like the apples she ate from when she was just a filly. She doesn't know if it is poisoned or not. All she wants is to take a good, long nap after she had eaten her breakfast, lunch or dinner and forget about this, even if it is for a short time. She stared out into the sun, partially set or risen. The moon was sitting in the same position on the other side of the sky. Were they going to collide and destroy the planet? Hopefully not, since Princess Celestia's managing it, well at least she hoped so. She did not know what to believe right now. All she did was stare. > Bipedal Locomotion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight sighed as she lay down onto the soft bed of grass, thinking about the events of the previous day as she woke up from her slumber. She hoped that it was a dream, but the sight of the cave said otherwise when she woke up this morning. She wasn't in Canterlot, let alone anywhere known to Equestria. Those birds were not like any she has seen in Equestria, and those bizarre four-winged animals are an entirely new family or even class of vertebrate. Gigantic tortoises with long necks lumbered about as octopi swung around in the trees, better than the apes and gibbons of the jungles. This was truly bizarre, yet it made her feel so alone. Her only company was the beast, who oddly enough, fed her quite well and cared for her like she was his own daughter, and even claimed her to be. It was so convincing, but Twilight was trying her hardest not to buy it. He told her of stories about her defeating powerful foes such as Nightmare Moon and this Discord character, and said that she became fond of making friends. Why would she want anything to do with making friends, she was happy with her life at Canterlot just the way it was. Already weary as she had just woken up a few minutes ago, she rubbed her eyes and got up, expecting to go on all fours. Instead she felt only her hind legs touch the ground. That's not natural, but it felt like it. Twilight became more and more worried as she began to breathe faster and faster. She looked at what she wanted to be her front hooves. Instead, she was greeted by the sight of a pair of arms similar to those of Spike's, only that they were covered in black scales and white fur. She was very confused and very scared. Those aren't supposed to be her arms! And why was her fur white!? She inspected her body to see that her fur and the feathers on her wings had turned snow white, just like her mane. Her tail wasn't her own anymore, in its place was the tail of a reptile, except that it was still covered in white fur. At the end of it was a brush of fur that had her signature purple and pink strips. Her legs also felt slightly longer, and the black scales have all migrated to her belly regions, feet, and hands. Her mane was no more, and now was a bunch of fur on her head, save for the manestyle at the front, which retained her purple and pink strips like her tail. Her horn also remained intact with the only change being that it was white rather than purple, and the position and shape of her torso were mainly still the same, only with small adjustments to fit her new limbs. Her head also remained largely unchanged, with the exception of the white fur and the loss of her mane. "First I wake up with clawed feet and wings and now THIS! What is he doing to me!" Twilight yelled out as she clenched the new appendages on her front limbs. For some reason, it felt, normal, like she always had hands. She tried to walk on all fours, but it felt unnatural with her new body and it started to hurt after a while, so she started to walk bipedally on her (former) hind legs. "Ugh, how does Spike even do this? Considering the fact that I'm slouched over like a dinosaur, this is not how he walks, but my point still stands!" Twilight said. She was slowly turning into what that beast is, and she doesn't know what to do now. If only friendship really was magic like her 'father' said it was. "That's it! Magic!" Twilight said. She charged her horn, attempting to change herself back, but when she cast the spell, nothing happened. The former pony's new form was somehow immune to her own magic. At least the former unicorn still had her magic. She was starting to worry after she saw that her cutie mark was completely gone. She waited for the beast, but why? Shouldn't she run away? She waited for four hours and she didn't even see him. She gave up and decided to go out of the cave and find him. But why is she wanting to find him? Again, all these questions and desires rang inside her head. But now, she reached a verdict. She was finally going outside the cavern. Since she couldn't teleport, she decided that the next best option was to use her new wings. They acted almost like extra limbs, and moved on her own accord. Breathing in, she spread her wings, and jumped off the wall, flapping them once, and low and behold, she was flying! She really was flying! The former pony smiled as she felt the wind press against her as she propelled herself forward. "Woohoo! This is totally awesome! I can't believe I really am flying!" Twilight said. She was too wrapped up in her flight when she suddenly felt a cramp. Her wings cringed as she fell down to the ground, giving her face a one way ticket to the dirt. She ungracefully fell, dragging the dirt around her. She felt around for any broken and/or transformed body parts, but there weren't any changes in her body to be seen since she woke up. "Just a cramp. I guess if I have to adjust to my new body, then I have to do it now." Twilight said. It felt a bit weird for her to walk on two legs, but somehow, it again felt natural. Twilight placed her right foot a few inches forward and did the same with her left foot. She continued the pattern until she finally got the hang of it. Pretty soon, she was used to this new walking cycle. Twilight felt the need to find the beast still, and she just can't get it out of her head. If she had not had that cramp- no wait, that thing is turning her into one of his kind. But he's her father. No he's not! The feelings fought inside Twilight's head, and the feelings supporting the beast were winning the fight, it is slow, but it is at a moderate enough pace. "I do not know who I am anymore..." Twilight said as she walked into the forest without knowing what direction she is going. What will her friends think when they find out that she's a monster. What will her parents think? What will her BBBFF think? Or worse, what will the Princess think? She doesn't know what side she is on right now.
