> My Little Pony Godzilla: Dawn of Monsters > by lazejovanov > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > First Meeting (edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Princess of Friendship: Twilight Sparkle, along with her friends: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Spike, and her student, Starlight Glimmer, as well as the Princess of the Sun: Princess Celestia and her younger sister, the Princess of the Moon: Princess Luna, and most of the ponies of Ponyville, were gathered together and standing before a gigantic reptilian creature that was laying unconscious on the ground, on its belly, not too far away from Ponyville. Most (if not, all) had the same expressions of awe, astonishment, and amazement at the creature's sheer size. The creature in particular looked very similar to a dragon, with the exception of lacking wings. Its enormous body was covered in charcoal gray scales, and the ponies could also see that its elongated snout had a mouth filled with sharp teeth, which were joined by equally sharp claws on both its hands and feet. It also possessed large, jagged silver spines that were protruding from its back, and finally, it had a long and powerful-looking tail that rested on the ground. The creature was also extremely large — in fact, it was even bigger than a fully-grown Ursa Major! A fact that made most ponies more than a little uneasy, Twilight included. "Twilight, darling, what do you suppose he is?" A nervous Rarity asked as she turned to The Princess of Friendship, being the first to break the uncomfortable silence. "Well..." Twilight began while looking at and studying the giant creature. "He might be a dragon. But I'm not 100% sure. He could be something completely new. Something that we've never seen before." She stated, her voice had a little bit of curiosity mixed into it. "I just hope he'll be friendly." Starlight Glimmer said with a hint of fear in her tone to match the already-nervous look on her face. "Yeah..." Twilight nodded while still keeping her eyes on the unconscious creature. "I hope so too." None of them knew it, but they were gazing at the legendary King of Monsters: Godzilla! Flashback It was a peaceful and beautiful day in the land of Equestria, and everypony in Ponyville were in the process of making a grand party for the arrival of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Recently, Twilight had gotten a letter from them that they were planning on visiting Ponyville today, and of course, she wanted everything to be perfect when the Princesses arrive, even though she herself was now a Princess. "I can't believe the Princesses are coming to visit us!" An excited Starlight Glimmer happily exclaimed while preparing several differently-colored balloons and wrapping them up using her magic. "I know, right!?" Twilight Sparkle squealed, not bothering to hide her excitement. "It's been a while since we got a visit from them here in Ponyville!" At this point, Twilight's dragon assistant came running to them before stopping in front of them. "All the preparations are ready, Twilight!" Spike declared. "All we need now are the Princesses to arrive!" "Good job, Spike!" Twilight congratulated her friend with an approving smile, very proud of Spike's hard work. "I just hope nothing goes wrong today." Starlight muttered. Her tone suddenly turned into that of slight worry, and a little anxiety as a bonus. This did not go unheard by Twilight. In response to her worry, she wrapped her left hoof around Starlight's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. "Come on, Starlight. What could possibly go wrong?" Twilight asked confidently. "Yeah, I guess I just get a little worried at times." Starlight giggled and blushed a little. "Look! Here they come!" Spike exclaimed and pointed a claw at the sky. Sure enough, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna could be seen in the sky, riding in their chariot which was pulled by four Royal Pegasus Guards as they flew down to Ponyville. A big and confident grin formed on Twilight's face. She was 100% sure that nothing will go wrong today... or at least that was what she thought — and hoped. "Hey, what's that ?!" Pinkie Pie suddenly exclaimed as she stood up from the crowd and pointed a hoof towards the east side of Ponyville, in the sky. After doing so, the ponies' attention quickly turned from the approaching Princesses and to the east side of Ponyville. Just as Pinkie had predicted, something did indeed happen. Something appeared (or rather, opened) in the sky — something large. It was a swirling black circle of incredible size! Little did the-now-surprised-and-baffled inhabitants of Ponyville knew, this was in fact a portal — a gateway to another world! An extremely large portal had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the sky, not too far from Ponyville. Everypony's attention was now fixed solely on the mysterious portal, even Princess Celestia and Luna were caught off guard by this unexpected phenomenon. But the portal itself would soon become the least of their worry, because something emerged (or rather, fell) from it — something big... And that 'something' was none other than Godzilla himself! The unconscious body of the Monster King plummeted towards the ground like a bag filled with bricks, before producing a powerful shockwave that reached and went past Ponyville once his enormous body slammed against the ground with incredible force, crushing several trees that happened to be beneath him! After that was over and done with, the portal that brought him here closed and disappeared. Every single pony was now left completely speechless and in a state of utter shock by this sudden and very unusual 'surprise'. "Why can't we have one normal day around here?" Rainbow Dash sighed as she folded her front hooves in annoyance. Soon enough, the Royal Guards that were carrying Princess Celestia and Princess Luna landed on the ground where Twilight and her friends were waiting. "Princess Celestia! Princess Luna! It's good to see you!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed happily as she ran up to the two rulers to greet them properly. "It is good to see you as well, dear Princess Twilight Sparkle." Princess Celestia smiled. But it wasn't long before her gentle smile disappeared, and replaced by a very serious and concerned look. She and her sister turned their attention to where the Monster King fell before continuing to speak... "But I believe the party may have to wait for now." "Yeah, this wasn't part of the surprise." Twilight muttered to herself as she also looked over to where the kaiju landed. End of flashback Almost five minutes had passed since Godzilla's sudden and unexpected arrival to Equestria. The ponies were still standing/floating in front of the unconscious Monster King's face with a significant distance between them. They would not dare get any closer to him, in fear of him waking up. The ponies had already begun talking and whispering between themselves about the kaiju. "What is it?" "Look at those spikes on his back." "Look at those teeth and claws." Some were wondering what he was, others were questioning where he came from, but most were asking the most common question: What will he do once he regains consciousness? "Would you look at the size of it." Sweetie Drops—under the false name of 'Bon Bon' —muttered in shock and astonishment at Godzilla's unbelievable size. Seeing as how the monsters she used to deal with when she was an agent of the monster-hunting agency in Canterlot would be completely dwarfed by him. "Yeah, it's a real monster." Lyra replied, just as astonished of the Monster King as her friend. "Great googly-moogly, his HUGE!" Pinkie exclaimed loudly. "Like really huge! Like really, really, really, REALLY huge!" She then gasped and turned to Spike, who was standing between herself and Rarity, looking at the kaiju. "Spike, he could be your big brother!" This immediately caused the baby dragon to turn and look at her with a baffled and somewhat annoyed expression. "How am I in any way related to him?! ...Besides being a dragon." Spike then thought for a moment before continuing. "In fact, I'm not sure if he even is a dragon." "Have ya seen anythin' like this, Fluttershy?" Applejack asked while looking at the kaiju, only to get no response. "Fluttershy?" Because Fluttershy was nowhere to be seen. Noticing this, Applejack turned and began looking around, before she eventually spotted her pegasus friend, hiding behind the fountain within Ponyville, far away from Godzilla and even the crowd. Fluttershy peeked her head ever so slightly. "Please tell me when he gets up and leaves, thank you." She said before quickly hiding behind the fountain again. Fluttershy always had a fear of adult dragons, and even though she could overcome her fears in desperate times, for the most part, she was very much afraid of them. And now, with a dragon-looking creature—far bigger than any dragon—present near Ponyville, it should not be a surprise to anyone of the shy pegasus' current behavior. Twilight Sparkle in particular had mixed feelings about the kaiju: On one side, she felt curious and in need to learn about this creature; where did it come from? What was it? But on the other half, she also felt that she should be extremely careful and wary of him. There was no telling what a creature of this size could do. "I have seen many creatures in Equestria, but nothing like this." Princess Celestia stated calmly, although one could easily sense the astonishment and concern behind her seemingly composed tone. "What do you mean, Princess? It's obviously a dragon." Rainbow Dash stated, hovering next to Applejack. "It may look like a dragon, but something feels... different about him." Princess Celestia said with an uncertain tone while looking at the unconscious Monster King. "He appears to be far larger than any dragon I have ever seen." Being over one-thousand years old herself, Celestia had seen many strange and large creatures in her life, but she had never before seen a creature quite as big as the one before her. "Well, I certainly hope he doesn't have an appetite for gems." Rarity commented. "I don't want any creature eating my new gem-styled dresses!" She exclaimed out loud. The seamstress then realized something and looked down to see Spike, who was standing next to her this entire time, looking up at her. "Oh, not you Spikey-wikey. We both know you would never do such a thing." She smiled and gently rubbed the little dragon on the head with her hoof. "Agreed." Princess Luna stated with a more serious tone "But I believe the better question would be: Is this creature a threat?" It was a question that many asked since the Monster King's arrival. "A creature of this size would no doubt pose a serious threat to Ponyville, if he chooses to." Princess Celestia stated as she narrowed her eyes at the unconscious kaiju. While it was her and Luna's duty to protect their subjects from any and all threats, she was still a very benevolent leader, and would not go judging others merely by their appearances and looks. "Well, that's reassuring." Rainbow Dash muttered under her breath as she folded her hooves. This caused Applejack to give her a quick bump to the side of her abdomen, followed by an annoyed stern look. The farm pony clearly wanted her pegasus friend to have a bit more respect in the presence of the Princesses. But things only got more concerning when Twilight suddenly began to slowly and cautiously approach the unconscious Godzilla's snout, seemingly out of pure curiosity. "Twilight, what are you doing? Get back!" Starlight exclaimed with a fearful tone, concerned for the safety of her teacher/friend. "I'm just curious." Twilight assured her while keeping her eyes on the unconscious kaiju as she continued approaching him before finally coming to a halt. She was now standing only three meters away from the snout of the kaiju. "I've never seen a creature this big up close." She whispered to herself. As Twilight was studying him, a small smile formed on her lips at the sight of such a creature. This may very well be the greatest discovery in the history of Equestria! But, as she was studying him up close, the ponies' worst fears suddenly came true! In an instant, Godzilla's eyes shot open, revealing his golden-yellow eyes and catching everypony completely by surprise! The equines around the now-awakened Godzilla gasped in fear and surprise at the kaiju's unexpected awakening! To them, this has now become a literal living nightmare! The saurian's eyes instinctively turned to the pony that was closest to him: Twilight Sparkle! The Princess of Friendship gasped in surprise as her ears flattened against her head — she was gazing at her own reflection in Godzilla's golden eyes as if they were mirrors. "Come on, Twilight! Let's go!" Starlight Glimmer called out, snapping Twilight out of her daze. Once the Princess was free from her daze and shook her head, she began to slowly back away from the awakened Monster King as he began moving his body. "Everypony, please back away from the creature!" Princess Celestia ordered. Even if their Princess never ordered them to, the ponies would've still moved away from such an incredibly large creature that has just awoken. With some effort, the Monster King placed the palms of his hands against the ground, and pushed himself against it to aid him in getting up on his own two feet. The equines looked on in astonishment as the creature before them slowly rose up on its two legs and stood to its full, ginormous height! Showing everypony just how big it truly was! Godzilla easily towered over the ponies that were below him—who were tiny to him in terms of size—and the trees that were around him. He even towered over Twilight's castle, with the castle itself only reaching the end of Godzilla's legs! The ponies could only look up at the kaiju with faces that were filled with astonishment, shock, and awe. Their mouths were literally hanging open and some had their ears flattened against their heads, no doubt out of fear. Even the two alicorn rulers of Equestria couldn't help but feel intimidated and somewhat helpless just at the mere sight of the giant beast. Godzilla looked down and noticed the large crowd of ponies standing/floating many meters away from his feet, staring and gazing up at him with shocked and astonished looks. Normally, Godzilla would not be interested in ponies, but something caught his attention about these ones. As far as he knew, ponies were more earth tones, like brown, gray, white or black in color. But these were different, they came in a more wide range of colors, some that Godzilla didn't even know existed. But what was even more unusual to him about these ponies was how they appeared: some had a single, pointed horn on their heads, while others had bird-like wings, and some had neither. The Monster King looked more closely and noticed three ponies in particular that were standing slightly closer to him than the other ponies, with two of them being noticeably taller. Unlike the other ponies, these three had both a horn on their heads and wings. Godzilla surmised that these three may be the leaders of this race. While at it, he also noticed a small purple dragon standing between two of the ponies that somewhat reminded him of some of the dragon enemies he's dealt with in the past—especially a certain dragon that possessed three heads and breathed lightning. Judging from his size and appearance, the saurian could guess that this one was still very young. The Monster King now turned his attention and looked overhead, where he noticed a small village not too far from where he's currently standing. It was filled with houses that remind him of the rural villages spread throughout Japan. Godzilla presumed that this must be where humans would be living, but he did not spot a single human being in sight. Along with the village, Godzilla also noticed the large castle (that appeared to be made of crystals) residing on the opposite side of this small town. The castle, of course, was nowhere near as tall as him. Thanks to his enormous height, the saurian could also see things that were a great distance away from himself. Turning his head to his right, the Monster King looked up at a mountain in the far distance, where he noticed yet another castle residing on the side of the tall mountain. As Godzilla was busy looking around his new surroundings, Applejack quietly approached the Princess of Friendship. "Twi, should we do something—anything?" Applejack asked fearfully, clearly unnerved and uneasy by the titan's presence. "No. We have to wait and see what move he'll make first." Twilight Sparkle stated while gazing up at the kaiju. "If he's not hostile then there's no need to attack him." Being the Princess of Friendship, Twilight hated to use unnecessary force and violence. "But what if he decides to attack us?" Applejack pressured, still unsure about the kaiju's motives. "Don't worry! If he attacks us, we'll take him down." Rainbow Dash stated with a cocky tone while hovering proudly and puffing up her chest. Though deep down, she was actually just as worried and terrified as any of her friends. "Yeah, right." Applejack muttered sarcastically, rolling her eyes in annoyance. After scanning his surroundings for some time, Godzilla turned his attention back at the ponies. Judging by their current looks, they appeared to be ready to flee and scream in terror the moment he gets ready to attack. The horns of the two Princesses were already lightened with blue and yellow auras, and were ready to unleash their powerful magic on him should he choose to attack their subjects. It lasted only two minutes, but it felt like an eternity for the ponies as they were hesitant to do anything. Finally, it was Godzilla who decided to make the first move. Lifting his head up, the Monster King opened his jaws, and unleashed his mighty, ear-shattering roar! *SKREEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOONGK!* Everypony's ears instantly flattened against their heads due to the intense and very loud roar that escaped Godzilla's jaws. The Monster King's powerful roar even made Luna's and Celestia's Royal Canterlot Voices seem like a joke! Eventually, the saurian ceased his roar and turned back to the ponies. "It is your choice now." Princess Luna thought, ready to go on the offensive should Godzilla decide to attack them. After a few more moments of observation, the King of the Monsters eventually made his decision, but it was one that few expected — with a soft growl, he slowly turned around and proceeded to leave the ponies and their home town entirely without so much as looking back. As he turned his back on them, the ponies watched in awe and amazement as Godzilla's gigantic tail swung over them! The ponies who were standing on the ground could also feel the powerful vibrations through the ground from each heavy step Godzilla took, which gradually began to decrease as the Monster King moved further and further away from them. Once Godzilla was well over two-thousand feet away from Ponyville, the ponies sighed in relief, knowing for sure that they were now safe. "Whew." Applejack breathed a sigh of relief as she wiped some sweat off of her face. "I'm glad that's over and done with, right, Twi?" "Yeah." Twilight also sighed of relief, and gained a smile on her face as she watched Godzilla still heading towards his chosen destination, wherever that may be. "I'm glad things didn't turn out bad." "It would seem that the danger had passed... for now." Princess Luna stated with a more serious tone, watching the Monster King depart from Ponyville. "So~ does this mean we can continue the party?" Pinkie Pie asked eagerly, completely overlooking the encounter they just had with the giant monster and making the other ponies sigh in annoyance. ... Later that same day, the news of Godzilla's appearance near Ponyville was quick to spread like wildfire through the small town. The residents have gathered back to Ponyville and began talking about the encounter they had. Nowhere was this discussion more serious than in the Castle of Friendship. There, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have also joined in, and began discussing about what they had encountered yesterday. "I'm not sure if he was a dragon." Spike stated. While Spike himself was a dragon and had several experiences with other dragons, he had never seen a 'dragon' of this size and scale before. "Your right, Spike. He was awfully big, even for a dragon." Applejack agreed. "Indeed. That creature was too big to be a dragon. Heck! He was even bigger than an Ursa Major!" Twilight exclaimed, her expression and tone were a mix of both interest and concern. "I'm not sure what he was, either. I'm familiar with a lot of creatures, but he was unlike anything I've ever seen before." Fluttershy spoke meekly. Even though she was an expert all kinds of animals and many other creatures in Equestria, Godzilla was a creature unlike any she had seen before. And considering his dragon-like appearance and unbelievable size, the shy pegasus would much rather avoid another encounter with him. "He may very well be a creature from another world, like the one Sunset Shimmer currently calls home." Princess Luna suggested. "That might be the case. He did, after all, drop from some kind of portal that appeared out of nowhere in the sky." Twilight pointed out now that Luna brought that up. "Which raises many questions: Why here? Where does that portal lead to? And what brought him here?" Princess Celestia added, her tone filling with concern and worry. For all she knew, that portal may very well lead to a world filled with gigantic creatures (and she had no idea how right she was). "Those are all good questions that need answering." Twilight agreed. She placed a hoof on her chin as she began pondering. "We also don't know what he plans to do here." "Well, he didn't seem that bad. Maybe he's just lost?" Fluttershy timidly spoke up, trying to be optimistic about this. "Ooooooor~, maybe he's just hiding and planning something! Maybe he's waiting for us to drop our guard so he can come back in the middle of the night and pick us off one by one!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed hysterically, over-exaggerating the current situation. Every other pony in the room gave her either an annoyed sigh or a confused frown. Then came Starlight's turn to speak... "But this creature might not be the only one. There could be more portals opening somewhere else in Equestria even as we speak, that might bring other creatures that are like or similar to him." She suggested. An interesting and very frightening possibility. One which was enough to put even more stress on the others. "That is an excellent point, Starlight." The Princess of the Night complemented. "There is no guarantee that this creature is the only one that came to Equestria." Princess Luna said in agreement. "We must be prepared for whatever comes our way!" "Agreed." Princess Celestia said as she also gained a more serious look on her face. "And perhaps if another creature, similar to the one we encountered today, comes, it may be hostile." Her voice was now filled with more dread and concern. "So what?" Rainbow Dash asked casually. Seemingly unconcerned, she rested against her throne without a care in the world. "We've been through a lot in the past and won!" She stated with a casual smirk. "You don't know that, Rainbow." Twilight said, turning to the rainbow-maned pegasus. "This creature might be more powerful than he seems." She stated, trying to get her pegasus friend to take the situation more seriously. At the same time, Twilight also couldn't help but wonder what Godzilla was doing this very moment. The Monster King was currently roaming this new and seemingly alien world. Walking through the Everfree Forest, Godzilla crushed tree after tree with each step he took. Occasionally lifting and swinging his long tail around before slamming it against the ground. As he wandered the Everfree Forest, the Monster King couldn't help but lift his head up and sniff the air—it smelled just like his home. He did not find human structures or settlements anywhere besides the ones in Ponyville when he first arrived. But even then, he did not find a single human anywhere. Ever since he arrived here, Godzilla saw no humans whatsoever. But he was glad with the apparent lack of humans in this place, as they would (more often than not) either scream and run away from him in terror, or foolishly stay to fight him, thus losing their lives in the process. As Godzilla continued to roam the forest, all of its native predators (such as Timberwolves and Hydras) steered clear of him, not wanting to mess with a creature that was many times their size. After roaming far and wide for quite some time, the saurian eventually came across a welcoming sight. A very large lake was present in front of his path. This filled the King of Monsters with satisfaction, as he was getting a bit tired from roaming this place for the last one hour. Slowly approaching it, Godzilla dipped his legs, and then his lower half into the lake. Being semi-aquatic in nature, he had an uncanny ability to breath both on land and underwater indefinitely. This lake was also large and deep enough for his entire body to be submerged—and that was exactly what Godzilla did. He submerged his entire body — head, dorsal fins, tail,everything — under the water and completely disappeared beneath the surface of the peaceful lake. The next day, Princess Luna lowered the Moon so her elder sister can rise the Sun to start a new day. In the Castle of Friendship, Twilight's friends entered the throne room to find an exhausted Twilight sitting on her throne and reading a book with dozens of other books placed on the Friendship Map. Twilight herself did not sleep very much because she was busy almost the entire night; reading and searching all of her books for any detail or clue on Godzilla, or the portal that brought him here. "So did ya find anythin', Twilight? About our 'guest'?" Applejack asked as she sat on her throne. "Nothing!" The Princess exclaimed in frustration. "I didn't find anything about him whatsoever! I've read every single one of my books and there's nothing!" She exclaimed frantically. The Princess of Friendship had indeed read all the books in her collection nonstop, not missing a single page, and yet, she found no traces relating to Godzilla in the slightest. "Maybe what Fluttershy said was true, maybe he is just lost." Spike suggested, hoping to ease his friend in some way. "That may be true, Spike." Twilight said, partly agreeing with the young dragon as she turned to him. "But like Starlight said before: We can't ignore the possibility that there are more who came, and we especially can't ignore the possibility of these creatures being threats to Equestria." "Oh! Oh! I got it!" Pinkie Pie once again popped in, waving a hoof like a student would in class. "What if he was sent here from a dying world, so that one day he'll become a hero of our world?!" "Yeah... sure." Rainbow Dash snickered, trying to keep her laughter in at Pinkie Pie's exaggerated theory. Twilight Sparkle sighed, not at Pinkie's ridiculous theory, but at the fact that she was getting nowhere. She could only hope that this creature would not do any harm to others or Equestria itself. However, she also knew that she should never judge a book by its cover, as was the case when she and her friends first met Thorax, a changeling that was unlike the others and actually helped in changing the other changelings into becoming a better race. All of the sudden, everyone in the room heard a knocking on one of the doors, which quickly got their attention. They weren't expecting any guests or visitors. The right door then opened and revealed... "Ember!" Spike exclaimed happily before jumping off his throne and running up to greet his only dragon friend who had just entered the room and properly welcomed her with a hug, much to Ember's embarrassment as she blushed slightly. "Hey, Spike." Ember greeted him with a warm and friendly smile, and gently patted him on the head. "What brings you here, Ember?" Twilight asked while also getting off her throne and walking up to the current Dragon Lord, followed by her friends. At this point, however, Ember's friendly expression quickly turned one of seriousness. "I need your help, Twilight." She answered, the tone in her voice turning more serious by the second. Along with this, the sudden change in her mood overall caused the ponies and Spike to look at her in confusion. What did the Dragon Lord need help for? Is it a friendship problem or something similar? "For what, Ember?" A confused Spike asked, hoping to help her in some way. "The Dragon Lands are under attack." She finally answered disdainfully, clenching her fists in anger to match the equal amount of ire that suddenly appeared in her tone. It sounded as if she had just lost a war. The looks of confusion on everyone's faces immediately turned into that of shock and surprise at what Ember had just said. It seemed hard to believe — what or who in Equestria would have a reason to attack the Dragon Lands? And for that matter, what creature could have the strength and power to attack a land filled with dragons? "By what, Ember?" A-now-very-concerned Spike asked worriedly. "Well..." Ember began as she looked away from her friends and continued... "I'm not sure how to put this..." Dragon Lands The mighty former Dragon Lord, Torch, was pinned against the rocky ground by a four-clawed foot placed on his chest. The foot in particular belonged to another dragon... but it was a dragon unlike anything seen in Equestria. For starters, he was HUGE; more than twice the size of the former Dragon Lord himself! He also had only two legs (one of which was on Torch's chest), along with very large wings and golden scales that shined and covered his entire body. But what was even more unusual about this dragon was the fact that he possessed not one, but two very long tails, and even stranger still, he also possessed three heads that sat atop three long necks. This dragon was none other than the feared King of Terror: King Ghidorah! The three-headed kaiju had already defeated most of the dragons in the Dragon Lands as they lied beaten and motionless on the rocky ground, and now the only one in the Dragon Lands left to stand against his awesome power was the previous Dragon Lord... at least sixty minutes ago! Seeing that victory was already practically his, King Ghidorah lifted his three heads into the sky and let loose a victorious roar from all three of them! But Torch still had some fight left in him. Weakly turning to the unsuspecting kaiju, he growled"Don't... think you've won just yet, monster!" With that, he unleashed hot streams of flames from his mouth, aiming directly at King Ghidorah's central head! But unfortunately for Torch, his surprise attack was in vain, as King Ghidorah's head simply shrugged off his assault without showing even the tiniest sign of damage. He did, however, succeed in annoying the three-headed menace, which King Ghidorah responded by removing the foot that was placed on Torch's chest, and using it to deliver a powerful kick that send the weakened dragon rolling across the rocky ground like a football! Once his opponent had stopped rolling and laid there, a good distance away from himself, King Ghidorah raised his heads and opened his three mouths. Golden light began to shine within the throat of each mouth, ready to fire their primary weapon at the opponent! But it was quickly interrupted when Ghidorah suddenly felt being struck by an unknown force on one of his tails from behind. While the attack itself did not harm him at all, it was enough to cause him to cease his prepared attack. The giant three-headed beast slowly turned around to see who was foolish enough to attack him like that. All three of his heads were quickly met with the ones who did it — who were also standing about three-hundred meters away from himself. Looking down, Ghidorah saw Ember (who he had met before) glaring up at him, along with another smaller dragon with purple scales and several new creatures that he's never seen before, doing the same thing — though they still had a difficult time hiding their fear. "Twilight, do ya think it was wise to hit em' like that?" Applejack questioned her friend with worry now that King Ghidorah had his attention fixed on them. "I had no choice, Applejack." Twilight said, turning her attention back to the three-headed beast and narrowing her eyes at him. Flashback It was a usual day in the Dragon Lands; with Princess Ember succeeding her father as Dragon Lord, everything seemed to go well and okay. Most of the dragons were doing their daily activities of whatever they wanted, such as: Lavaboarding, racing, shooting rocks with fireballs and other similar activities. But of course, Ember had ordered the dragons to make peace with the ponies and not to harm them in any way, much to the disappointment and displeasure of most dragons. Ember herself was sitting on a rocky edge, relaxing and enjoying the view. After all, as Dragon Lord, what could possibly go wrong? Everything seemed to be going well... until something in the sky suddenly passed over the area where Ember and some of the other dragons were residing with unusual speed. A massive shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere and passed over the Dragon Lands with surprising speed, immediately catching the attention of not only Ember but also most of the other dragons. The dragons quickly looked up and began scanning the sky for whatever had passed them. Being highly territorial and naturally aggressive creatures, the dragons would not tolerate the presence of intruders in their lands. But they would also be unable to harm said intruder(s) without Ember's permission. Although, they had no need to look too hard... as the owner of the shadow soon returned, and every dragon in the area could see him clearly! The intruder finally revealed himself just as he began descending on the ground, to a small clear area. Once his four-clawed feet touched the rocky ground, every dragon in the area, both large and small, was paying attention solely to the intruder. Normally, the dragons would have reacted with aggression and hostility towards the intruder, but in this case, they were actually rather surprised, and even fascinated and amazed to what they see. The intruder himself payed a very close resemblance to themselves, but also had many differences that easily distinguished him from any other dragon. For starters, he was incredibly big, even by dragon standards. So big in fact, that he easily towered over every single dragon that was present in the Dragon Lands! No dragon could even come close to his unbelievable size! It was like comparing mice to a leopard. This dragon also had only two legs and incredibly large wings. But the most bizarre thing about him—one of the main reasons why the dragons were looking at him in interest and fascination—was the fact that he possessed two very long tails that were tipped with feather-like projections, and like a hydra, he also possessed multiple heads—three heads, to be exact—that sat atop three long, snake-like necks! All three heads looked exactly the same in terms of size and appearance; all three of them had long, pointed horns running down their sides. This dragon's scales also seemed as if they were made of gold as they shined brightly in the sun—something which caught the interest of quite a few dragons. But little did the dragons know, they were gazing at the deadly King Ghidorah! A monster that had stripped many planets of their life! King Ghidorah stood upright, with his wings spread wide. Each of King Ghidorah's heads turned and began scanning different directions in the area: The right head turned its attention to the east side, the left head began scanning the west side, and the central head focused on the north side. But no matter where each head turned and looked, they always ended up meeting dragons of different sizes and colors. The dragons were very impressed by his massive size, but also very confused and baffled by his unusual appearance. To them, he seemed like a hybrid between a dragon and a hydra. Ember, who was gazing at King Ghidorah in surprise and confusion from the edge of her cliff, decided to take action. Spreading her wings, the Dragon Lord took off and proceeded to fly towards the King of Terror, who was still standing and looking around his surroundings. When she eventually came closer to him, Ember flew upwards to his eye level so he would notice her. Once the Dragon Lord came closer, only the central head turned and started paying attention to her presence, while the other two heads were still busy looking around. Once Ember reached what she considered a good position, she stopped and hovered in mid-air, several meters away from the snout of the central head as it stared right at her. Despite being Dragon Lord, Ember felt more than a little intimidated by Ghidorah's presence. She had to admit... he looked very terrifying up close, even by dragon standards. But the young dragon pushed that aside, cleared her throat, and gave King Ghidorah's head the most assertive look she could. "I am Ember! Daughter of Torch, Winner of the Gauntlet of Fire and Lord of all Dragons!" She exclaimed loudly and assertively, trying to show this dragon who she was. "And I ask: Who or what are you?" King Ghidorah's head understood Ember's words and language perfectly well... and he didn't like it! Who was this insignificant creature to dare speak to him, the King of Terror, like that? She may call herself 'Lord of all Dragons', but that title meant nothing to him! The central head narrowed its eyes, deciding that now would be the time to make his power and intent very clear to Ember and every dragon around him. Without so much as a warning, Ghidorah's head suddenly lunged forward like a cobra trying to strike its prey, jaws wide open! Ember's eyes widened in shock as the head lunged towards her! But despite being taken completely by surprise by the sudden and unexpected attack, the young dragon was able to clear her head and react in the nick of time! Flapping her wings, Ember darted backwards with incredible speed! By the time the jaws of the central head snapped shut, Ember was already a safe distance away! Should Ember have been a second too slow or had she hesitated, she would not have been so lucky. King Ghidorah, however, was not finished—far from it, in fact. As soon as Ember was out of its biting reach, the central head opened its mouth and shot a golden, lightning-like Gravity Beam, which raced straight for the shocked and surprised Ember! But once again, the current Dragon Lord was able to use her speed and mobility to fly out of the beam's path and evade King Ghidorah's primary weapon just as it shot passed her without touching her. The Dragon Lord was not the only one with a look of shock by this unexpected ability; every dragon around King Ghidorah now gazed at the monster with even more surprise and shock as to what he had just done. As if having three heads and two tails wasn't weird enough, he can also breath lightning? "What the?! He can breath lightning? What in Equestria is he?" Ember thought in astonishment, briefly ignoring the fact that this dragon had just attacked and attempted to kill her. With the central head having made its move, Ghidorah's other two heads quickly began to follow its lead! Without any hesitation, all three heads opened their mouths, and began firing their golden Gravity Beams at different directions in the area! The Gravity Beams went wildly and struck everything around their owner, causing small explosions wherever they made contact! They mainly struck the spots that were close to where some of the dragons were standing, laying, or resting—creating shockwaves that flung the dragons like ragdolls! The Dragon Lord herself was left both shocked and speechless by King Ghidorah's sudden and unexpected actions as she watched the horror before her unfold. She couldn't understand why this dragon-like creature came out of nowhere and almost immediately—without any apparent reason—began to attack her land and her subjects. But there was no time to think about that, and Ember knew that this creature (dragon or not) was a threat to her subjects and her kingdom! "So that's how you wanna do this, 'Three-Heads'?" Ember mockingly yelled out, before pointing a claw at the three-headed monster and exclaiming... "Take him down!" Ember did not need to order her subjects twice (or possibly at all for, that matter); all the dragons in the area (regardless of size) growled and spread their wings, before taking off and flying towards the King of Terror! Like a swarm of bees, the subjects of Ember quickly surrounded the three-headed monster in order to attack him from every direction at once, despite the clear size difference! Most of the dragons started their assault with their own primary weapons—hot streams of fire shot from their mouths! They unleashed their flames at the extraterrestrial kaiju, and struck him in almost every area: Legs, chest, wings, back, heads, and even the tails! Against most native creatures of Equestria, the battle would have been already over... but not against this otherworldly beast! It wasn't long before their attacks prove to be ineffective as the dragons' flames did little more than slightly annoy and irritate the King of Terror. In retaliation, King Ghidorah swung his two powerful tails like two giant, faceless serpents and smacked several unlucky dragons out of the air with them! The three heads then turned to the other group of dragons that were hovering and flying above him, before proceeding to fire back with their more powerful Gravity Beams! Luckily though, the dragons were able to avoid the deadly powerful beams... but just barely. A good distance away from where King Ghidorah was rampaging, Ember could only gaze at the battle (if one could even call it that) with widened eyes that were filled with both shock and even fear. She couldn't comprehend this—her race was suppose to be one of the most powerful and feared in all of Equestria! And yet, here they were, completely outmatched by this three-headed dragon-like creature! The dragons couldn't even leave a scratch or a mark on him, and what's worse, King Ghidorah had absolutely no trouble taking them down and defeating them! It wasn't even a fair fight—not for the dragons, at least—it was a completely one-sided rampage in Ghidorah's favor! The extraterrestrial beast let loose a small, sadistic cackle, very much enjoying the destruction he was causing, just as he had done to many other countless worlds. But all this commotion suddenly attract the attention of another, unexpected dragon — and this dragon was the former Dragon Lord and the father of the current Dragon Lord! The mighty Torch came flying towards the area, before stopping and descending down, landing on a nearby cliff, not too far away from the area that King Ghidorah was attacking. His presence immediately caused the dragons to stop, and even made Ghidorah momentarily halt his rampage and regard the large dragon as all three heads turned to look at him. Torch was incredibly large, even for a dragon—however... he was not even close to Ghidorah's superior size! In fact, at best, he was only slightly taller than King Ghidorah's upper legs. "What is all this racket?!" Torch demanded angrily as he looked around, before noticing King Ghidorah, at which point his eyes also widened in surprise. Both at the fact that this dragon was actually bigger than him and the fact that he had an unusual body design. At that moment, Ember quickly flew up to her father's face and hovered in front of him. "Dad! This dragon — or whatever he is — is attacking our Kingdom and nothing we're doing against him is working!" She quickly explained. "What?!" Torch exclaimed in surprise before turning to the King of Terror and glaring at him with visible anger in his eyes. "You dare attack my daughter's kingdom?!" He roared loudly and menacingly, the rage in his voice was just as clear as the anger in his eyes! Though as threatening as Torch was, King Ghidorah wasn't intimidated the least bit. In fact, he was now actually rather pleased as he always enjoyed a good challenge. Turning to him, Ghidorah suddenly unleashed his Gravity Beams from all three mouths at once, directly at Torch! Seeing this, Ember quickly flew out of the way! The former Dragon Lord also had surprisingly fast reflexes of his own, which he demonstrated by suddenly spreading his wings and darting upwards like a rocket to evade the powerful attack that instantly blew the cliff he previously stood on to pieces! "So you wish to battle me, huh?" Torch asked, hovering in mid-air via flapping his wings. "You may be bigger, but that does not mean that I shall lose!" King Ghidorah—more than eager to prove him wrong—flapped his own enormous wings and took to the sky as well! Once both combatants were in the air, Torch made his first move by unleashing streams of fire from his mouth, striking Ghidorah directly in the chest! But as with all the other dragons so far, this did not harm Monster Zero the least bit. Ghidorah then retaliated by firing his Gravity Beams at Torch! Although surprised by his fire having no effect on the opponent, Torch managed to react quickly enough to dodge all three beams by flying out of their paths. However, as he was distracted with the Gravity Beams themselves, Torch failed to notice King Ghidorah racing for him from below like a great white shark ambushing a seal... until he was too late! King Ghidorah's middle and right heads lunged forward and bit down on Torch's left arm and left wing with their strong jaws, causing the latter to roar out in pain! Working together, the two heads forcefully lifted and then threw the mighty dragon down at the ground with incredible force! Upon impact, Torch's massive body made a loud 'BOOM' the moment he made contact with the ground! The former Dragon Lord grunted in pain; for all of his years of combat, he had never faced such a powerful foe. This three-headed creature, without question, was more powerful than anything Torch had ever faced (or seen) before. "Dad!" Ember cried out in worry as she landed the ground close to her father's face to see if he was alright. "Ugh. He is stronger than I thought," Torch muttered while slowly getting up. "I'll hold him off long enough for-" He was suddenly cut off mid-sentence by his daughter. "Wait! I've got an idea: I'll get help!" A desperate Ember stated with a reluctant smile. "Help? From ponies?!" Torch asked, disliking the idea already. "Ember, we're dragons, we don't help. Especially from ponies!" "That was when you were in charge. And besides, they might have some way to stop this thing!" Ember exclaimed back. "And also, what option do we have left? Flee like cowards?" This now made Torch very mad (if not, furious); the one thing he hated most was seeing dragons fleeing from battle. "Alright, fine! Go get help! But I don't expect them to do any better." Torch muttered in annoyance as he rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, dad, they are tougher than they look." Ember stated with a confident smile. Just then, Monster Zero landed behind Torch (eight-hundred feet away from him), and roared at him with all three heads! "Go, Ember!" Torch exclaimed before getting up and turning around to face the King of Terror once again. "You go, dad." Ember quietly cheered him on with a small smile before spreading her wings and taking off. "Alright, let us do this again." Torch stated before opening his mouth and breathing fire at King Ghidorah! End of Flashback "Is he a dragon or a hydra?" Rainbow Dash asked. Just like the dragons before, the pegasus was very baffled by King Ghidorah's odd appearance. "A Dragonydra or Hydragon, maybe?" Pinkie guessed, making up hybrid names as she went along. "Hmmm, 'Hydragon' sounds like an awesome name!" "I think we should figure that out later." Starlight Glimmer said as she looked up at King Ghidorah with a serious look on her face. King Ghidorah's middle head raised an eyebrow, while his right head narrowed its eyes and growled. He did not know what these new creatures were—and he most certainly did not care, it just meant more 'fun' for him! Ghidorah's left head suddenly moved closer, and fired its Gravity Beam at the seven ponies and two dragons! As if on instinct, Twilight and Starlight were quick on the draw to use their combined magic to teleport their friends and themselves before the Gravity Beam could reach them. By the time the electrical beam struck the ground—which exploded on contact—the ponies and dragons were already gone, much to Ghidorah's surprise and confusion. In a flash of purple/blue lights, the seven ponies and the two dragons appeared behind a large rock where King Ghidorah (presumably) could not see them. The ponies and Spike were caught completely off guard by this sudden and unexpected attack. "That beast tried to destroy us!" Rarity angrily yelled out. "I'm not sure if he's a dragon or a hydra, anymore!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "I mean, what creature breaths lightning like that?!" "An electric Hydragon!" Pinkie exclaimed, causing the cyan pegasus to roll her eyes and sigh. "The better question is: How do we stop him?" Twilight asked, changing the topic to its original goal. "We tried everything against him, but nothing worked." Ember explained. "He's practically immune to our fire!" Twilight looked down as she began to think the situation through in her mind. She was not sure how to deal with this: Judging from Ember's explanation, this creature would surely resist her's and Starlight's magical attacks, even if they combine their powers. She predicted that a direct attack on the three-headed beast would be futile—and possible even fatal. "I suppose we could lure him away from the Dragon Lands and-" Her sentence was cut-short when she and everyone else began hearing, and feeling, powerful and loud vibrations through the ground. Cautiously, Fluttershy slowly peeked her head to see what's going on—at which point, her eyes immediately widened in shock and her pupils shrunk. "He's coming here!" She exclaimed. Quickly and without hesitation, the seven ponies and the two dragons jumped out of the rock they were hiding behind just as a Gravity Beam came down and destroyed it instantly! The heroines looked up to see the towering King Ghidorah glaring down at them and opening his three mouths, ready to strike them down with his electrical beams. If only he could, though... Before his primary weapon was allowed to be unleashed, a bright neon-blue beam shot out of nowhere with blinding speed, and struck King Ghidorah in the back, causing the surprised three-headed dragon to topple down on the rocky ground, on his belly! Twilight, Starlight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Ember, and Spike looked at the fallen beast in silent surprise, before turning to see where the beam was shot from. And to their even greater surprise, standing a significant distance away from them was none other than Godzilla! Taking a deep breath, the Monster King let loose a very loud and powerful roar! *SKRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGK!* It was a clear challenge to the three-headed dragon, who got up, turned around, and glared at his arch-nemesis with all six eyes. Ghidorah opened his mouths and let loose his own roar! And his roar was a clear sign that he accepted Godzilla's challenge. "No way! He's back!" Rainbow exclaimed in surprise. Her exclaim, however, did not go unheard by Ember. "Wait, you know him?" Ember asked in surprise and confusion before turning to Twilight for some kind of explanation. "Well... sort of. We'll explain later." The princess assured her before turning back to the brawl that was about to begin! The two kaiju sized each-other up, but it was obvious to everyone watching that King Ghidorah had a significant height advantage over Godzilla. Although the Monster King was still far bigger than Torch. Godzilla, not deterred or intimidated by Ghidorah's height, made his first move: His dorsal fins and the inside of his mouth began to light up and glow with a bright blue color, right before a radioactive Heat Ray of the same color shot out of his mouth and raced for Ghidorah! The King of Terror, unwilling to go down so easily, quickly ducked his heads down and covered the front of his body with his large wings to shield himself from Godzilla's incoming Atomic Breath! The blue radioactive beam smashed into King Ghidorah's 'shield' dead-on! However, the King of Terror successfully blocked Godzilla's primary weapon when it struck him, doing little damage as a result. The seven ponies and two dragons were left with their mouths hanging open to match the already shocked expressions on their faces. "Was that fire he just shot out of his mouth?" Spike asked, both amazed and confused by Godzilla's attack. "If it is, it's unlike any fire I've seen." Ember stated in equal astonishment. King Ghidorah was quick to retaliate; flapping his massive wings, he took to the air! He then began flying straight for Godzilla with surprising speed, instantly closing the large distance between them. Once he was close enough, the extraterrestrial kaiju knocked Godzilla down on his back with a strong kick to the head, with Godzilla's dorsal spines piercing and sinking into the rocky ground as if it were made of butter. Godzilla quickly tried to get up on his feet, but King Ghidorah came plummeting down and stomping on the saurian's chest with his full weight, earning a roar of pain from the Monster King! The three-headed kaiju cackled sadistically before flapping his wings and flying upwards in an attempt to repeat the attack. But Godzilla's having none of that... As soon as Monster Zero was in the air and reached a considerable altitude, Godzilla quickly fired his radioactive Heat Ray and struck Ghidorah directly in the chest, not only catching the three-headed dragon off guard, but the sudden impact of the attack also caused him to get blasted out of the sky! Ghidorah fell back on the rocky ground, away from Godzilla! Getting up on his feet, Godzilla shook off the boulders that were stuck on his dorsal spines and roared at his fallen three-headed foe. Charging up his body again, the saurian opened his mouth and fired his primary weapon at the downed monster, causing all three heads to screech in agony! But despite the pain he was feeling and the intense power the beam possessed, King Ghidorah still managed to get up on his feet, even while still being blasted. After Godzilla ceased his attack, the three-headed kaiju returned the favor by unleashing his Gravity Beams from all three heads; striking the saurian mostly in the chest, face, and lower half of his body. The Monster King howled in pain, but he had felt worse in the past. Monster Zero ceased his attack and suddenly came charging at Godzilla on foot! Once he was close enough, Ghidorah's heads lashed out: The right head bit down on Godzilla's left shoulder, while the left head bit onto his right arm, and the central head chomped on the saurian's neck! With all three heads having a firm hold on the Monster King with their jaws, each head began to release a strong electric shock through its bite — which was visible as Godzilla's entire body became surrounded by yellow-colored electricity, making him roar out in pain even more! "What the hay kind of monster is he?" Applejack asked in astonishment. Never before had the farm pony seen such an ability from such a creature. "I don't know, but it sure is... shocking!" Pinkie Pie said before bursting into laughter at her own joke. She quickly stopped when she realized that she was literally the only one laughing, and everyone else was either giving her an annoyed look or paying attention at the battle. "What?" Godzilla, however, was far from being defeated; his dorsal fins began to lighten up again as he gathered more nuclear energy. But instead of emerging from his jaws in the form of an Atomic Breath, the saurian did something else—the stored nuclear energy surged outwards from every inch of his body in a powerful Nuclear Pulse! The sheer power of Godzilla's pulse was enough to force Ghidorah's heads to releasing their hold on him, and also causing the three-headed dragon to get blown backwards and topple to the ground! All those who just witnessed this simply gazed in shock, awe, and amazement. "That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed loudly, very much entertained by the battle between the two titans. "He just blew that three-headed meanie away! AWESOME!" Pinkie exclaimed even louder. "I'm now pretty sure that he's not a dragon." Ember stated calmly, but still astonished and shocked after witnessing Godzilla's new ability. "Whatever he is, he's still awesome in my book!" Rainbow Dash declared, still very impressed with the Monster King. While the others had to admit that Godzilla's abilities were indeed pretty spectacular to watch, they couldn't help but feel a little worried about what he could do with them should he turn on the ponies and other races of Equestria. Godzilla approached the fallen King Ghidorah, before he bent down and grabbed both of the extraterrestrial kaiju's tails with his hands. Then, using his immense strength, Godzilla lifted the much heavier monster off the rocky ground before slamming him down against it as hard as he could! He proceeded to do this again, and again, and again! Before using his strength to throw the three-headed beast a good distance away from himself, causing him to crash on his back! The King of Terror tried to get up. But just as he was doing so, Godzilla began charging up his body again. However, this time his dorsal plates not only lightened up like before, but they also became surrounded by visible blue-colored electricity...and that was when Godzilla fired his Spiral Heat Ray—a stronger variation of his Atomic Breath—from his mouth! While this beam appeared mostly the same as his regular Atomic Breath, in that it was blue in color, it was also wrapped in a purplish spiral of energy. The three-headed dragon had little time to react as the powerful radioactive beam smashed into his unprotected chest! The force of the beam was so incredibly powerful that it actually caused Ghidorah to get pushed back even further away from Godzilla, despite his effort to resist it! After the attack finally ceased, King Ghidorah fell down on his back and quickly got up—with a noticeable difference: The chest area where Godzilla's Spiral Heat Ray struck was visibly burned as smoke rose from his wound with some of the scales even falling off his body. The seven ponies and two dragons could only gaze in amazement and disbelief at the display of Godzilla's awesome power! "Wow..." Was all Spike could mutter. "Cool!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily while clapping her hooves in joy as if she was watching a circus. "I know, right?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, awed at Godzilla's Spiral Heat Ray. "He's more powerful then I imagined..." Twilight Sparkle said with an amazed look on her face. She was honestly not expecting the saurian to posses such immense and destructive power. "He... actually managed to hurt him." Ember said in amazement. After all she and her fellow dragons went through to even try and damage King Ghidorah, Godzilla was able to do it with a single shot of his new attack. "I don't think that's fire he shoots from his mouth." Starlight hypothesized. From the moment she noticed Godzilla's dorsal spines spark with blue-colored electricity, she knew she had to carefully study and observe what Godzilla will do next—and she was right to do so. "Yeah, it's something else... something more powerful." Twilight agreed, but then quickly turned to look at Spike and Ember, who were both giving her stern looks. "No offense..." She nervously giggled. King Ghidorah resisted the urge to roar in pain, but he was beginning to think that this was not a battle worth it anymore — and was soon given another good reason to abandon the battle: Godzilla fired his regular Atomic Breath at full power, this time aiming for and striking Monster Zero's right wing. The moment the saurian's Heat Ray made contact with King Ghidorah's wing, it pierced through and made a large hole in his wing, and finally allowing King Ghidorah to cry out in pain! Godzilla roared again, challenging Ghidorah to either leave now or face defeat. Seeing no other option left, Monster Zero, despite still having a gaping hole, flapped his wings and took to the sky, where he flew higher and higher until he passed the clouds and eventually left the atmosphere entirely. With his enemy defeated and retreating, Godzilla lifted his head and allowed himself to have a roar of triumph. *SKRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOONGK!* "Ugh. I wish he would stop that." Rarity muttered in annoyance as she covered her ears with her hooves. "He did it! He did it!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed loudly as she bounced up and down happily. "Um, Pinkie, I think it might be a little too soon for a celebration." Spike said with nervousness, and he had a reason to be... Godzilla now turned his attention down at the ponies and dragons that were standing a significant distance away from him. Upon examining them, he quickly recognized the seven ponies and the small purple dragon, but he did not remember seeing the slightly taller blue one with wings. In any case, Godzilla guessed that they would pose no threat to him, and he honestly doubted they would, especially after witnessing his very recent victory against the King of Terror. With a soft growl, the saurian turned and proceeded to walk away from them and the Dragon Lands without causing any trouble. But not before he turned his head slightly to his right to look at Twilight Sparkle in her beautiful purple eyes from the corner of his eye. He stood and stared at the Princess of Friendship for a few seconds before turning back to his chosen direction and proceeding to leave the Dragon Lands entirely. "Well, this day is definitely one that I won't forget." Ember commented as she folded her arms, watching Godzilla depart from her kingdom. "I don't think any of us are gonna forget this." Starlight also commented. Ponyville Later that same day, The Princess of Friendship and her friends returned from the Dragon Lands after explaining to Ember how Godzilla came from the mysterious portal the previous day. Miraculously, none of the dragons that fought King Ghidorah were killed, they were either knocked unconscious or seriously injured. ... The Mane Six, Starlight, and Spike went back to the Castle of Friendship and sat on their respective thrones. "So, does anypony have any opinions on today's event?" Twilight was the first to speak. "Yeah, we saw an awesome fight!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed excitedly as she flew upwards to express her excitement on the outside. "And how!?" Pinkie added. "More to the point, what was that three-headed creature?" Twilight asked. "It was completely different from any known creature in Equestria." Then a possibility came to her mind. "You think it might have come from a portal like the one the first creature came from?" Before any of her friends could reply or answer... "Perhaps we can answer that question..." The ponies and Spike immediately froze upon hearing two mysterious female voices seemingly out of nowhere. They stood silent for a good five seconds before Rainbow Dash decided to break the silence... "Tell me I'm not the only one who just heard that." "Nope. Ah don't think so, partner." Applejack said. "We apologize if we startled you." The two voices spoke up again, the ponies and Spike now began looking around the room but found no sign of anyone around but themselves. "Um, no, no. It's alright." Starlight Glimmer assured them while still looking around. "Where are you?" "Are you ghosts?" Pinkie asked before suddenly gasping in shock. "Is the castle haunted?" She gasped again. "Are we possessed?!" The voices could be heard chuckling in amusement. "We assure you, we are not ghosts and your castle is not haunted, nor are you possessed. We are not in your world, we are currently speaking to you through telepathy." Everypony's eyes widened in shock and surprise upon hearing this sudden and very unexpected information. Twilight's expression of shock soon turned around when a huge grin on her face formed. "You're communicating with us from another world via telepathy!" She exclaimed excitedly, and rather loudly. "This is amazing! There's no known spell that can do this! Communicating through different worlds without the need of sending letters!? It's..." She soon came to a halt when she noticed several of her friends giving her sighs and somewhat annoyed looks. "Sorry..." Twilight chuckled nervously as she blushed and her ears flattened. "Anyway, can you tell us anything about the creatures that appeared in our world?" Starlight asked, going back to the original topic. "Indeed we can, but let us first introduce ourselves. We are the Elias. Keepers of balance and peace in our world." The ones now called 'The Elias' introduced themselves very politely. "It's a pleasure to meet you." Twilight replied politely with a smile, even if she couldn't see them. "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike." "Likewise, Miss Sparkle. As you already are aware, there have been incidences of strange and very large creatures appearing in your world. These creatures are from the same world we reside in." "That explains it." Rainbow Dash commented. "The creature that you first encountered is called 'Godzilla'." "Ya' mean that dragon-looking creature with those spikes on his back?" Applejack asked. "Indeed. The other creature, the one that possesses three heads, is called 'King Ghidorah'. Despite his name, he is not truly a king, that is merely his name." "But what are they doing here? How did they come to our world in the first place?" Starlight Glimmer now began asking the more important questions. "There has been... an 'incident' in our world. The main inhabitants of our world have developed a device that creates portals, and it just so happens that the portals lead to you're world. We fear that more of the creatures from our world may end up appearing in you're world as time goes on." This made the ponies and Spike cringe. After witnessing the display of power from Godzilla and King Ghidorah's battle, they couldn't help but worry about the possibility of more of these gigantic creatures coming to and roaming Equestria. "Are they going to attack or cause any kind of harm?" Twilight asked tentatively. Her voice was now changing to more concern and worry than anything else. "Most of these creatures will not attack so long as you do not attack them first. However, there are exceptions to this, such as King Ghidorah, who seeks to destroy anything and any creature he encounters." The ponies and Spike gasped, their faces were filled with shock and horror upon hearing this. "But why? Why would he do such a thing?" The young princes asked, hoping there was some kind of explanation for his behavior. "King Ghidorah destroys creatures purely for his entertainment and amusement. He takes joy in destroying and harming others. " Everypony's faces turned to disgust at the idea of a creature destroying and harming others for pleasure. After hearing this, King Ghidorah sounded no better than Chrysalis, Tirek, or the Storm King — if anything, Ghidorah sounded even worse than them! "Are there any more that are like him?" A-now-very concerned and worried Starlight asked with a fearful and uneasy tone. "A few more, yes. We may not be able to help you much, but we shall explain to you the origin of Godzilla and the creatures that are similar to him." "Wait a moment, please!" Twilight said before using her magic to bring a book and a quill to the table. There was no way she could miss an opportunity like this. "Okay, please continue." And with that, the Elias began to explain Godzilla's origin and backstory. Elsewhere, further away from Ponyville, to where the village that Starlight had previously resided in (and enslaved) was having a wonderful time of it's own, with the resident ponies doing their usual daily activities. But today was going to be a day that these ponies won't soon forget... ... As the equines were doing their usual activities in the small village, a portal, similar to the one that was in Ponyville, appeared in the sky not too far away from the small town itself. A pegasus pony known by the name of 'Night Glider' was the first to spot it, due to hovering over the town which gave her a batter view. "Everpony, look over there!" She called out and pointed a hoof at the direction of the portal. Soon enough, everypony's attention was focused on the mysterious portal. And just like the one that Godzilla came from, something fell from this portal as well. The portal disappeared shortly after the creature fell from it. After the portal had disappeared, the curious ponies of the village slowly, and cautiously, made their way out of the village to see what came from the portal. But once they had reached and spotted the mysterious creature that fell from the portal, none of them expected the sheer amount of shock, awe, and surprise they would be having when their eyes finally met the unconscious creature that was laying motionlessly on the ground. It was a quadrupedal vicious-looking creature that was extremely large and very long. Its skin was a brown color and its back had a hard shell of some kind, covered with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of pointed spikes sticking out like a hedgehog's that also covered the upper part of its long tail. Its head was shaped very much like a crocodile's, it had several inwardly curved horns at the top of its head and a single horn that resided on its snout. Its mouth had sharp teeth, with two on its upper jaw longer than the rest. This creature was none other than Anguirus: The Ferocious Dinosaur! The ponies had a good distance put between themselves and the unconscious Anguirus, and they had a good reason to be as well: A creature of this size could easily swallow dozens of ponies in one bite! "Wow, he's huge!" Party Favor managed to say while gazing at the unconscious creature. His friends could not agree with him more. However, it wasn't long before the ponies' fears became even greater; Anguirus' enormous tail suddenly lifted itself in the air before slamming down on the ground with incredible force, making a small shockwave that all the ponies felt! "I have a bad feeling about this." Double Diamond fearfully whispered to himself. And he was right, too — Anguirus' eyes shot open faster than anypony could react! The sudden awakening caused the ponies to gasp in surprise and, of course, fear! Sugar Belle was the first to slowly back away from the awakened kaiju, the other ponies followed her soon after. Anguirus slowly got up on his four feet, before shaking his head slightly to fully regain his consciousness. As he stood, the ponies of the village could only gaze up in amazement and awe at his incredible size. After regaining his consciousness, the mutant dinosaur quickly spotted the ponies that were near him (who were tiny in comparison to himself) and turned his attention at them. Some of the residents of Starlight's village gulped in fear as they were hesitant to do anything at this point, knowing full well that if this creature decided to, it would easily crush or devour most of them at any given moment—or even destroy their entire town! But the mutant ankylosaur calmly stared at them, there was no aggression or hostility in his eyes, only slight curiosity. After looking at the ponies for at least a minute or two, Anguirus turned his attention farther east, and with a soft growl, he turned and proceeded to go to his chosen direction. The ponies of Starlight's village continued to watch in amazement as Anguirus departed from their village, feeling the ground beneath them shake with each step the dinosaur took. "We better inform Princess Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer about this." Double Diamond declared. > First Bonding (edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over six days had passed since Godzilla's battle against King Ghidorah in the Dragon Lands, and the news of the Monsters King's existence in Equestria was quick to spread all over the land. Godzilla would be occasionally sighted by ponies and other races, roaming through the vast land and coming to different locations in Equestria to curiously observe them. However, Godzilla did not attack nor do any kind of harm to the inhabitants of Equestria that he encountered, and would leave as soon as he was done inspecting said locations. Over six days had passed since Godzilla's battle against King Ghidorah in the Dragon Lands, and the news of the Monsters King's existence in Equestria was quick to spread all over the land. Godzilla would be occasionally sighted by ponies and other races, roaming through the vast land and coming to different locations in Equestria to curiously observe them. However, Godzilla did not attack nor do any kind of harm to the inhabitants of Equestria that he encountered, and would leave as soon as he was done inspecting said locations. Additionally, another unusually large creature had also been spotted roaming Equestria. It was described by the ponies of Starlight's village - who first witnessed it dropping from a portal - to look like a combination of a crocodile and a hedgehog. No other creature similar to them was reported, yet. As of recently, Godzilla and this other beast had seemingly disappeared and no pony (or creature) knew where they were currently residing. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were currently in the Castle of Friendship, along with Twilight and her friends. There, the Elias, through telepathy, explained the origin of Godzilla and the creatures that came after him. They explained that Godzilla was indeed not a dragon, nor related to them. He was a semi-aquatic reptile that could live both on land and underwater. Many years ago, before Godzilla became what he is today, his form was quite different from the one the ponies saw. He was smaller and lacked many of the abilities that he now possessed. In fact, as the Elias further explained, these abilities were not natural to Godzilla nor his species, but were a side-effect from a devastating weapon he was exposed to long ago. The Elias also explained that before the Godzilla they now know, there was another of his kind. This first Godzilla had a family and was living in an underwater cavern with them. Unfortunately, the main inhabitants, the humans, of his world had become increasingly paranoid of one another and began starting wars. During these countless wars, they had developed a horrible and extremely powerful weapon known as the atomic bomb, that was far too frightening to even mention. This weapon could wipe out entire kingdoms in an instant, and whats worse, it would leave behind a deadly poison known as 'radiation' after its detonation that would kill any creatures that came into contact with it. The humans used this weapon near Godzilla's home to test its power. The weapon completely destroyed Godzilla's underwater home... and killed his family. Everyone Godzilla knew and cared for, all of his loved ones, his mate and his offspring, were gone before his very eyes. The poison of the weapon, however, did not kill Godzilla. Instead, his body absorbed it, and the radiation altered and enhanced his body, increasing his size many times to what it was before and granting him the ability to shoot a devastating beam of energy from his mouth, the very same one Twilight and her friends saw in the battle against King Ghidorah. Devastated and heartbroken, Godzilla left the destroyed remains of what was his old home and found a new place where me might call home; a small island that was known as 'Odo Island'. For the next few years, he spent most of his life in the waters that surrounded the island and rarely came ashore. The villagers of Odo Island eventually discovered his existence and were awed by his great size and power. They began worshiping him as a king or a lord — or perhaps as something even greater. They would even bring sacrifices to him in the form of animals to appease him. But eventually, Godzilla discovered the true reason behind the demise of his family. He somehow discovered that the misery, pain and loneliness he had to suffer was because of the actions of humans. Enraged by this, Godzilla took out his rage upon the inhabitants of his world. He destroyed any boat that came near Odo Island. When the wider world discovered his existence, they sent ships to kill him by dropping bombs in his territorial waters. Unfortunately, the humans would quickly realize that they had made a grave mistake, as not only did Godzilla survive their attempts to kill him, but he left the island and reached the nearest city called Tokyo, filled with unsuspecting civilians of what was about to happen. Once he arrived there, Godzilla showed no mercy; he destroyed and burned down everything in his path, tore down buildings with his claws, crushed civilians underfoot, and burnined what was left with the newfound ability he gained from the weapon that mutated him. He spared no one, he wanted them to feel the exact same pain he felt when he lost his family. After turning the entire city into a sea of flames, Godzilla returned back to the ocean — back to his now-destroyed underwater home. One of the humans, however, had created an extremely deadly weapon that came to be known as the Oxygen Destroyer. A weapon that was quite possible even worse than the atomic bomb that killed Godzilla's family. They located Godzilla in his underwater home where he was resting, and activated the weapon while he was sleeping. Godzilla was completely defenseless against the Oxygen Destroyer's power. He cried out in pain, but his cries ceased as his life slowly and painfully escaped his body. Depraved of oxygen, Godzilla surfaced and let out one final roar before finally asphyxiating and dying. But he did not die alone — the creator of this weapon, a human named Daisuke Serizawa, feared that others were likely to use this power for war. After seeing the horror and suffering the atomic bomb inflicted on his country and people, the thought of a weapon even more dangerous was too terrifying to even imagine. Thus, he allowed himself to perish alongside Godzilla, to insure the secret of his creation will remain hidden forever. Once the story was finally over, the room was filled with uncomfortable silence. The ponies and the baby dragon were at a loss for words after hearing this tragic and horrifying tale. They could not describe this feeling they were experiencing. They were not used to so much... death. They did not know where to start, they were shocked and horrified by the destruction and pain Godzilla caused, yet at the same time, they could not bring themselves to hate the saurian. In fact, they felt sympathy for him. He was not a monster, but a tragic creature who was as much a victim of humanity as they were of him. His rage and anger towards the humans was very understandable, as the loss of loved ones could cause any creature to preform the same actions. But at the same time, they could not simply overlook the unimaginable destruction he inflicted on the humans who had nothing to do with his suffering. Innocent civilians who were merely minding their own business until his arrival. Fluttershy, being the animal-lover that she was, was quite possibly the most saddened and horrified by this story. It was a miracle she hadn't broken down in tears after hearing it. For a creature to lose his loved ones over some stupid test for a meaningless war — it actually made her feel some resentment towards the human who created the devastating weapon. But the people who Godzilla killed in his rampage did not deserve what happened to them. Rarity initially thought that Godzilla was simply a giant beast. But now, after hearing how the first Godzilla had lost all of his loved ones because of the inhabitant's paranoia, it made her feel very guilty for judging him too quickly. But at the same time, she could not overlook the death and destruction the saurian caused during his attack on Tokyo. Pinkie Pie wasn't her usual cheerful and bubbly self. She was used to happiness and smiles. But hearing such a terrifying and tragic story made her feel different — it filled her with sadness and empathy at what Godzilla had went through, and what he did in his blind rage against humanity. Twilight Sparkle could barely comprehend how shockingly tragic and horrifying this story was, and what made it even worse was the fact that this was not a made-up tale; it was as real as the castle she was living in. She could never have imagined a creature to have such a horrifying experience; to lose an entire family and watch them die, all because of senseless and pointless wars. Part of her wanted to shift all the blame on the humans who did this to Godzilla, but she knew better than to use a scapegoat. It would be like demonizing every dragon simply because one dragon polluted Ponyville with smoke due to choosing to nap at the top of a nearby mountain, oblivious to what it was causing. Like Twilight, Starlight Glimmer could also sympathize with Godzilla, minus the death, destruction, and suffering. She had once lost her best friend, Sunburst, when she was a filly because he gained his cutie mark at a very young age and was subsequently taken away when they were young, which led her to demonizing all cutie marks and viewing them as the source of division among ponies. Now she wondered what she would have done if she had experienced what Godzilla had lived through. To lose her entire family and friends, everypony she knew and cared for to die right in front of her very eyes, and then to discover their demise was the result of some creatures testing out a dangerous weapon, clueless to the destruction they had just caused. Knowing how she initially turned out before Twilight helped her realize her mistake and changed her view on cutie marks, Starlight had no doubt that she would have probably done the exact same thing Godzilla did. Perhaps she would even do worse, and go as far as to try and wipe out all of humanity in a fit of blind grief and rage. She shivered at the thought. "He never deserved this..." Princess Celestia spoke softly, the sadness and sorrow in her voice as as clear as day. Princess Luna was no different. When Godzilla first arrived in Equestria, she instantly saw him as a threat due to his size and appearance. But after learning what another of his kind had suffered, and what he did in his grief and anger, Luna became filled with immense guilt; she should know better than to judge a book by its cover. The Elias continued speaking to them... "Godzilla, that innocent and tragic creature, was gone, where he joined his family. However, thirty years after the first Godzilla had perished, another arose, and this one was bigger and even more powerful than the previous." It was now that Twilight came to the realization... "This is the Godzilla that's currently in Equestria, isn't it?" She asked. "Indeed..." The Elias replied softly. "Unlike the previous one, this Godzilla lived a solitary life on an island far away from where the previous one had lived. But, much as with the previous member of his kind, he, too, was exposed to the radiation of the atomic bomb when the humans tested another weapon in the sea near his island. Though the blast did not reach him nor his island, the radiation did. Thus, he was changed forever into the powerful creature you now know. After he was mutated, he became too big to live on the island he called home, and was forced to leave and go to the nearest landmass he knew. After experiencing the attack from the previous Godzilla on their city, the humans believed that this Godzilla would be no different and quickly began to attack him without a second thought. As a result, they had provoked and caused him to fight back against them." While the ponies and Spike frowned at the idea of judging an individual creature before they truly knew him, it was also understandable after hearing what the first Godzilla did to them. After all, they were pretty quick to label Thorax as an enemy before Spike convinced them he was not like the other changelings. "After numerous attempts to destroy him had failed, the humans came up with a plan to successfully lure Godzilla at the entrance of an active volcano, where he fell inside and was trapped there. However, it did not take long for Godzilla to free himself with his Heat Ray, as he blasted himself free from the volcano." "This 'Heat Ray' you mentioned..." Twilight recalled, briefly pausing the Elias. "Is that what the blue beam Godzilla shoots from his mouth is called?" "Indeed. The beam is composed of the same source of energy that changed him. It is incredibly powerful and able to destroy many things upon contact. As you may have seen, before Godzilla fires his attack, the spikes on his back will give off a blue light." "Well, I most certainly like it when those spikes of his glow blue. It would make a fine dress! A dress that glows blue in the dark!" Rarity squealed excitedly, thinking of the idea of a dress that glows blue in dark rooms, similar to Godzilla's dorsal spines. She had gained quite an inspiration after witnessing Godzilla's breath attack against King Ghidorah. Spike, however, was less pleased with this, as he folded his arms and looked away with a frown. Feeling a hint of jealousy run up to him. "After he was done dealing with humanity's antics, Godzilla finally left and disappeared into the ocean. Five years later, Godzilla would reemerge again, but this time he was not alone. He was locked in a ferocious battle with another giant creature called 'Anguirus'. Anguirus, like Godzilla, is a creature who was changed by the same weapon that changed Godzilla himself." "Anguirus? That's a funny name!" Pinkie Pie commented with a small giggle. "While Anguirus lacked the abilities that Godzilla possessed, such as his Heat Ray, he was still a very ferocious creature and was able to give Godzilla a decent battle. Though in the end, Godzilla proved too powerful and defeated Anguirus by knocking him out." "Why was he fighting this 'Anguirus' in the first place?" Starlight couldn't help but ask curiously. "Their reasoning is not clear, but we assume that the two species may be natural rivals. But that all changed when the humans created a very powerful machine that payed a close resemblance to Godzilla himself. This machine was called 'Mechagodzilla', and it was a weapon specifically created to destroy Godzilla himself. In its hunt for Godzilla, Mechagodzilla encountered Anguirus and battled him. Try as he might, Anguirus was no match for the new weapon and was defeated, but survived. The weapon eventually hunted down and confronted Godzilla, and began battling him. Godzilla tried his best to defeat this powerful weapon, but Mechagodzilla lived up to its purpose and weakened Godzilla by absorbing and reflecting his Heat Ray back at him. Before it could deliver the finishing blow, Anguirus arrived and attacked the machine. Godzilla and Anguirus both decided to put their differences aside and began working together to defeat Mechagodzilla. With two opponents to battle at once, Mechagodzilla became overwhelmed and was eventually destroyed. Godzilla and Anguirus were both impressed with the each other's tenacity and bravery, no matter how powerful their enemy was. Godzilla and Anguirus eventually became friends. Anguirus is the first friend Godzilla ever had, despite starting out as enemies at first." The ponies - especially Twilight, Starlight and Princess Celestia - smiled with happiness and joy upon hearing this. Twilight was especially happy to hear that Godzilla was not completely alone in his world, and that he had made a friend, despite starting as enemies. But then again, who was she to judge? After all, she and Starlight didn't exactly seem 'eye-to-eye' when they first met. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, was more interested with the battles Godzilla had. She would have loved to be there and watch the two giant creatures duke it out! Still, the ponies and the young dragon now had a more positive view on this, and it certainly was a great refresh after hearing the first Godzilla's tragic story. "What happened next?" An eager Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah! What happened next?" Pinkie chimed in while eating popcorn that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. "Eight years would pass after Godzilla and Anguirus' victory over Mechagodzilla. A human scientist found and taken samples of Godzilla's scales left from the battle with Mechagodzilla. He then merged them with a plant as an experiment. However, his 'experiment' went horribly wrong and gave birth to another giant creature. It was half Godzilla and half plant, snd her name was 'Biollante'." Most of the ponies gasped while Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were wishing they had some more popcorn with butter whilst listening to the story. Starlight Glimmer, however, was beginning to notice a pattern... "Pardon my interruption." She said politely, catching everypony's attention. "But every time a new creature emerges, it seems to be a result of the humans' actions." Indeed, the other ponies in the room were also now beginning to notice it as well. From the creation of Godzilla through the testing of the atomic bomb, to the creation of Mechagodzilla, and now, this new monstrosity. It seemed like a every time a new monster showed up, humanity almost certainly had a hand in it. "Unfortunately, you are correct, miss Starlight Glimmer. Many, but not all, of these creatures are a direct result of our humanity hubris. Humans are not evil by nature, but they are very foolish and reckless in their pursuit of progress. They often push boundaries they must not, break the laws of Nature, and rarely foresee the consequences of their actions. As a result, creatures such as Godzilla are born. Still, there are many humans who try to understand Godzilla and find a way to peacefully coexist with him and the other creatures they had created." The ponies and Spike smiled, glad to hear that, at the very least, some progress was being made for coexistence between the kaiju and the humans. After hearing what the humans of Godzilla's world had done, Twilight wondered if they were another breed of humans, given that she became a human herself when she and Spike entered the parallel world Sunset Shimmer lives in. Once she got past the awkwardness of becoming one of them, they were rather amiable to be around. At the same time, Twilight also began to wonder if the human world she knew also possessed the same devastating weapons or had similar giant monsters. She would have to talk with Sunset on the matter when she got the chance. "As we were saying," The Elias resumed "After her birth, Biollante went on a rampage and proceeded to destroy everything that stood in her path, before she encountered Godzilla himself. Despite being mostly plant, Biollante was also part of Godzilla's race. Godzilla sensed this and tried to communicate with her, but Biollante was far too aggressive to be reasoned with and attacked him, forcing Godzilla to battle her. The fight was vicious, but Godzilla emerged victorious and Biollante retreated, never to be seen again. Some time after the defeat of Biollante, another creature came, but this one was not from our world — it was a threat like no other. Meanwhile, Godzilla and Anguirus had encountered a flying creature named 'Rodan'. While Godzilla and Anguirus were at first were unsure about him, they were forced to join forces with Rodan when King Ghidorah arrived on our world to destroy all life." This was the part where the ponies and the young dragon got really invested, as they had seen King Ghidorah and what he was capable of. "Godzilla and his two allies battled King Ghidorah to save their home. The battle was long and brutal, but as powerful as he was, Ghidorah was eventually overwhelmed by their combined might. With no other option, Ghidorah was forced to retreat back to where he came from, while Godzilla and Anguirus had gained a new ally, and friend." The Princess of Friendship and her friends were liking this more and more. Hearing how Godzilla had gained more friends, and how he and his friends worked together to defeat threats to their world, it reminded her of how she and her friends had defeated many of Equestria's past threats, such as Tirek, King Sombra, Chrysalis and the Storm King. "I wish I was there. I would have given that three-headed monster a good, hard hoof to his faces." Rainbow Dash stated proudly as she puffed up her chest, acting all though. "Sure ya' would have." Applejack quipped sarcastically with a smug smirk. She obviously did not believing her pegasus friend on bit. "Hey! I would have!" Rainbow exclaimed. "What happened next? What happened next?" Pinkie Pie asked frantically while happily bouncing up and down, eager to hear more of Godzilla's story. "We soon came to realize that King Ghidorah was not acting on his own. He was merely part of a much greater threat that was to come..." The ponies and Spike gulped upon hearing this, and felt a bed feeling for what they were about to hear. Changeling Hive Meanwhile, far away from Ponyville, the Changeling Hive was living in its most prosperous time. The changelings were once a race of feral and vicious insectoid-equine creatures that fed on the love of other creatures, but after being taught how to share their love with one another thanks to Starlight's guidance and Thorax's example (a changeling who was already reformed), the changelings transformed into peaceful, colorful, and love-filled creatures. Their former leader, Queen Chrysalis, who deliberately kept them starving in order to rule them, angrily declared revenge on Starlight Glimmer before retreating, and Thorax became the new leader of the hive. Unbeknownst to the changelings, outside of their hive, a group of unknown creatures were assembling and approaching the hive. Their yellow, pupiless eyes narrowed, sensing that this hive has lots of creatures —creatures to destroy for their pleasure. ... The reformed changelings were having a peaceful time, with Thorax's brother, Pharynx, now finally transformed and accepting the new ways of the hive. However, Thorax couldn't stop his brother from being a little overprotective of the hive at times. Thorax was currently sitting on his throne with his older brother standing next to him, watching the changelings doing their new daily activities such as paining, dancing, preparing food and other peaceful activities. "This new life is starting to get a little boring." Pharynx muttered under his breath. Because he was formerly a warrior, Pharynx always enjoyed a little combat. "Well, you better get used to it, then." Thorax chuckled as he looks over to his brother. "Maybe I should just change back to my old self." Pharynx joked, turning to Thorax with a teasing smirk. Both changelings gave a light chuckle to each other. But shortly after their little laughter was over, Thorax gained a somewhat depressed and worried look, as he turns back to the other changelings in front of them, who were still having fun. "I'm not sure how the other races in Equestria are gonna trust us, though." Thorax said sadly. "After all the bad things changelings had done when Chrysalis was in charge, I'm not sure if some of the other creatures will forgive us for what we've done." He mutters somberly. Even though they had changed, Thorax still worried of how the other races would now look at them; not everyone sees changelings the way Twilight and her friends now do. Pharynx noticed this and gained a sympathetic look on his face. He then wrapped his left hoof around his brother's shoulder, causing Thorax to turn and look at him. "Hey, listen. I know what we've done in the past was pretty bad. But that's all in the past now. We've changed, and others will see it too, just give em' time." Pharynx said with a reassuring smile. "Thank you, brother." Thorax responded with a warm smile of his own. "Besides, I'll just force them to accept us as friends if they don't want to." Pharynx joked again, making his brother have another light chuckle. However, their relaxing moment was soon paused when a changeling with a light-green body and blue eyes suddenly came flying to his King — and judging by the expression he had on his face, he did not appear to come with good news. "King Thorax, we have a problem!" The changeling exclaimed as he landed before his King and bowed in respect. "What is it?" Thorax asked in confusion, really hoping it wasn't some kind of a creature, like the maulwurf, that's threatening the hive, again. "The hive is under attack by... some kind of creatures." The changeling answered, unsure how to put it exactly. "I'm not sure what they are, but they're definitely not friendly!" This immediately caused all the other changelings in the room to cease their peaceful activities, and turn towards him with shocked and horrified looks. Thorax cringed, not liking where this was going; the last thing he needed right now was another monster attack. Soon enough, he and every other changeling began hearing unusual noises coming from the edge of the hive. The noises themselves sounded almost like a beetle crawling across a hard surface — only thing was, the sound they were hearing was much louder, as if the creature that was crawling was a gigantic beetle. These noises began to get louder and louder, as if something was climbing up the hive where they were residing. Pharynx was already in a battle pose and was ready for whatever was coming their way, ready to defend the his brother, the hive and their subjects. The source of these sounds eventually made itself known. Slowly, but surely, a creature began to emerge from the edge of the hive as it slowly crawled up and stood on the flat surface. The creature had finally reached the top of the hive where Thorax, his brother and many more changelings were residing. The changeling's eyes turned into that of both surprise and confusion, because they had never seen anything like this before. The creature was very crustacean-like in appearance; it had a bright red exoskeleton covering its body with six segmented crab-like legs and small spikes on each of its shoulders. It had a long neck and an even longer tail, which ended with a set of pincers, while its head had a frill-like crest and ferocious-looking mandibles. Finally, the creature had a pair of yellow, pupiless eyes. The creature was also quite large, more than twice the size of Thorax himself. Thorax, his brother, and every changeling in the this part of the hive, simply stared at the mysterious and scary-looking creature that had suddenly made its appearance. They were unsure how to react to this strange 'visitor'. But little did the changelings know, what they are staring at was no ordinary creature — it was a monster that originated from the same world as Godzilla! "I've never seen a creature like that before." Pharynx commented in surprise while staring at the creature with caution. "Neither have I." Thorax also commented. As Thorax stared into the creature's seemingly emotionless eyes, he couldn't help but feel something very negative and very wrong about this creature, that sent cold chills down his spine — and little did he know, the bad feeling he was having was with good reason. The monster slowly scanned the area around it, trying to decide who to attack first, before fixing its attention to Thorax himself, who still remained silent but continued staring at it with surprise and uncertainty. Deciding that he would be its first prey of choice, without any warning, the crustacean leaned its head forward... and fired a pink, mist-like beam from its mandible-mouth! As the deadly beam raced for the surprised Changeling King with blazing speed, Thorax's brother quickly reacted for him! Acting fast, Pharynx jumped in and tackled his brother out of the beam's path! By the time the deadly beam had reached its target, both Thorax and his brother were safely out of the way, resulting in Thorax's throne instantly shattering into pieces when the beam made contact with it! The changelings who witnessed this gasped in shock and horror, both at the sight of their king nearly being destroyed and the monster's unexpected ability. "Thank you, Pharynx." Thorax said with a grateful smile as he and his brother slowly stood up. "Heh, no problem." Pharynx smiled back. But his smile was quick to disappear and be replaced by a glare filled with anger, which he directed towards the creature that had just tried to kill his brother. But that soon to changed into shock when suddenly, another creature of the same species crawled over the edge of the hive and stood next to the first one, and then a third creature came, then a forth. There were four, then five, then seven and the numbers continued to grow. Thinking quickly, Pharynx darted upwards to get a better view, to see what was going on. Once he was hovering high over the hive, he could see what lied beyond the hive. Pharynx's purple eyes instantly widened in shock at what he was seeing — there were possibly hundreds of these giant crustaceans marching towards the hive like a swarm of ants, and some were already climbing the walls of it. Pharynx quickly flew down where his brother was waiting. "What did you see, Pharynx?" Thorax eagerly asked. "We have to prepare! There are more of these things coming! Its an attack!" Pharynx exclaimed. Thorax was at a loss for words, the one thing he hated most was violence and war. But the Changeling King was quick to gain a serious and stern look on his face. Benevolent or not, as king, it was his duty to protect the hive and his subjects from all manner of threats, and this one was no exception! "I understand." Thorax said before he himself got prepared for battle and went into a fighting pose, as he turned to face the creatures that stood near the edge of the hive, looking at him and his subjects with murderous intent. The other changelings did not need to be told by their king what to do, as they all got prepared for an inevitable battle that was to come! The King of the Monsters was currently resting at the bottom of the sea floor in the waters of the Celestial Sea. It had been over six days since he arrived in this strange world, and it took some time for Godzilla to become aware that this was not the same world he originated in. For starters, there were no humans (which was a relief to him) and anywhere he went, he was often greeted by the sight of colorful equines that came in four different varieties; ones with horns on theirs heads that allowed hem to levitate objects, ones with wings that allowed them o fly, and ones without either. He had yet too see ponies who had both a horn and wings ever since his departure from Ponyville, which lead him to assume that that particular breed was exceptionally rare. After coming to different locations and encountering more of these ponies, Godzilla became more and more surprised by them. Their behavior was very different from the ones that reside in his world. They acted much like how humans do, and they also (at least all of the adults) had symbols on their flanks; some had symbols of animals, others of plants and some had symbols of objects that Godzilla recognized from his encounters with humans. There were very few instances where the ponies would scream and run away in terror upon his arrival in their location. For the most part, they would simply stare at him in awe and fascination when he arrived in their location and leave without further incident. None of the creatures that were native to this world were hostile to him. Due to his huge size, none of the predators such as rocs, hydras, and tatzelwurm attacked him. As a result, Godzilla left them alone. A thought suddenly came in the Monster King's head about the purple pony that had both wings and a horn. While she did not seem like much on the outside, Godzilla sensed an aura emitting from her — a very positive aura. He was not sure why, but he also felt the same coming from the other five ponies that were with her. Their presence alone felt very positive and welcoming, and surrounded Godzilla with a sense of goodness and happiness, something he seldom felt in his world. The Monster King began to wonder to himself — What was he feeling? Could there be more to these ponies than meets the eye? However, his pondering quickly stopped when Godzilla suddenly got the feeling of a very negative presence. He opened his eyes and raised his head off the sea floor, sensing that something was not right, as he felt the presence of an intruder in this world. Mysterious, yet familiar at the same time. Godzilla was not sure what it was, but he did know that it was definitely trouble, and that he intended on doing something about it. Back in the Castle of Friendship, Twilight and her friends listend intently about how Godzilla and his fellow kaiju stopped an alien invasion who attempted to conquer their planet and enslave them. After King Ghidorah was defeated at the claws of Godzilla, Anguirus, and Rodan, it soon became revealed that Ghidorah himself was under the control of an alien race known as the M Space Hunter Nebula. These creatures resembled a cross between crustaceans and spiders, with bluish exoskeletons, six eyes, and mandibles. The M Space Hunter Nebula were notorious for conquering planets by sending their armies of mind-controlled monsters to wipe out the native inhabitants of said planets. Once that task was accomplished, the aliens would arrive to pillage all the resources from the planet to strengthen their empire, and then move on the next habitable planet to repeat the process all over again. They had access to both extremely advanced technology that far surpassed that of humanity and even access to some level of sorcery. Using this combination of science and magic, they unleashed kaiju that were under their control to wipe out the humans and the Earth kaiju. But their attempted invasion had the unexpected consequence of awakening even more Earth kaiju that had been in hibernation or were hiding in remote corners of the planet. Godzilla, Anguirus, and Rodan found themselves fighting alongside Mothra, a gigantic butterfly, and whom the Elias worshiped as their goddess; King Caesar, a bipedal lion-like creature who could absorb and reflect energy beams back onto his opponents; Titanosaurus, an aquatic dinosaur who could create powerful winds with his tail; and many more. After a long back-and-forth battle between Godzilla, his fellow Earth kaiju, the militaries of the world and the M Space Hunter Nebula with their mind-controlled space kaiju, the armies of Earth finally began pushing the aliens back. Many of the M Space Hunter Nebula's monsters were destroyed during the battle, including Gigan, a powerful cyborg monster, and Hedorah, a toxic monstrosity composed entirely of sludge and pollution. With their numbers faltering and their forces getting ever weaker, the M Space Hunter Nebula were forced to retreat from Earth, leaving Godzilla and his fellow Earth monsters victorious. The ponies and Spike were in complete awe and admiration at what Godzilla had accomplished. They were all beyond impressed by the battles he and his friends had gone through, and the lengths they went to protect their world. In many ways, this battle for their world reminded Twilight and her friends of their own battles with various villains to protect Equestria. It was also ironic that the weapon that mutated Godzilla also gave him the power to fight off the invaders. "Godzilla is super awesome!" Pinkie Pie squealed happily while bouncing up and down in excitement. "He showed those space meanies who's boss!" "Yeah, his great and all.... but not as awesome as me." Rainbow Dash stated with pride, acting all though as she did so, much to the annoyance of Applejack. "I'm just glad he doesn't eat gems." Rarity breathed a sigh of relief, knowing her new gem-styled dresses are safe. "Despite this, however, Godzilla and some his companions did occasionally attack urban areas after the M Space Hunter Nebula were defeated. They did this for a verity of reasons, such as seeking resources or new territories to occupy. Unfortunately, it did not help that the humans are also increasing in numbers rather quickly, thus forcing them into conflict with the Godzilla and the other Earth creatures." "But why do they have to be in odds with one another?" Asked Rarity. "After fighting alongside each other to defend their world from the aliens, didn't the humans see value in Godzilla and his friends?" Many humans did, but not all, miss Rarity. Life is more complicated than that in our world, and because they once had a common enemy, it does not guarantee that they will coexist peacefully." Eventually, humanity grew weary of these conflicts, thus they developed a new weapons to deal with them. But rather than destroying them, this weapon instead creates portals. They tracked Godzilla on his home island and fired the weapon at him, banishing him from his world... and sending him in yours. After Godzilla was successfully gone, the humans proceeded to do the same with all the other giant creatures in their world." Looks of displeasure and disappointment were on the faces of the ponies and Spike after hearing this. The fact that very few humans acknowledged what the kaiju had done for them, the fact that they sent Godzilla and his allies here to be their problem instead of trying to find a way to coexist peacefully — it was something that greatly upset the ponies of Equestria. "We are currently trying to find a way to return Godzilla and the others back to our world." "Then I wish you the best of luck." Princess Celestia said politely. "As do I." Princess Luna followed. "We all do." Twilight Sparkle said with a gentle smile. "Thank you, miss Twilight Sparkle." "Please, just 'Twilight' is fine." The Princess of Friendship blushed at being called 'Miss'. All of the sudden, everypony in the room was caught off guard and startled when they all heard very loud screaming coming from outside, and it seemed to be of the negative kind. It sounded like something they would hear during Nightmare Night, except for the fact that it wasn't Nightmare Night and the scream itself sounded very serious rather than being scared for fun. "What the hay was that?" Applejack asked in surprise. "I don't know, but we better hurry!" Twilight Sparkle said before quickly getting off her throne and immediately going for the exit doors, followed closely by her friends. ... Not a second too soon, the ponies and Spike raced towards the doors to see what was going on outside, and much to their horror and shock, they were presented with a very terrifying sight after opening them. A number of the same creatures that were currently attacking the Changeling Hive were now also doing the same to Ponyville, and were currently attacking ponies! Some of the creatures were blasting houses with their pink rays while others were chasing ponies around, intending on killing them! The beasts were also quite large, a single one of them was taller and larger than Princess Celestia herself! "What the heck are those creatures?!" Spike exclaimed in disbelief, watching the carnage before him unfold. "We shall figure that out after we deal with them." The Princess of the Night declared before spreading her wings and flying off to stop the rampaging monsters from harming any of her subjects, followed by her elder sister, the Mane Six and Starlight Glimmer! ... One of the monsters had cornered Lyra and Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops against a wall. Both ponies were hugging each other with fear while staring at the monstrous crustacean's pupiless eyes, and they could see that it had only one intention — to kill. Charging up its body, the creature fired its deadly beam at the two scared mares! But before the beam could reach them, a blazing speed passed the two mares, leaving nothing behind but a rainbow trail. With its intended targets missing, the beam instead struck the wall and made a large hole. Initially confused at first, the monster sensed another life presence nearby. Turning it's head to it's left, the creatures saw, standing sixteen feet away from itself, Rainbow Dash with Lyra and Bon Bon. Rainbow Dash had used her incredible speed to grab and move Lyra and Bon Bon out of harm's way just in time! "Thanks, Rainbow!" Lyra said happily. "No problem! You two better get out of here." Rainbow Dash said before turning to face the monster head on. "I'll take care of this." Not needing to be told twice, Bon Bon and Lyra quickly fled the scene as fast as they could, leaving Rainbow to deal with the beast on her own. The monstrous crustacean now had its attention fixed on the rainbow-maned pegasus. Both angry by the fact that she stole its prey, but also interested by the potential that she may prove to be a more challenging prey. "Come on, you overgrown crab! Let's see what you got!" Rainbow taunted the crustacean, irritating it. With an angry screech, the crab-like monster began charging at Rainbow Dash with full speed! However, the mutant crustacean did not know what the pegasus was capable of. Once the monster came close enough, Rainbow used her own speed to take off and dart upwards before the beast could reach her. The monster quickly stopped in its tracks and looked up in the sky, scanning for its prey. As it continued looking up, Rainbow quickly revealed herself to the monster... with a hoof-kick to the left side of it's head. Unfortunately for Rainbow, her kick did not send the creature flying like she expected. While Rainbow Dash's kick was strong enough to make the crustacean feel some pain, it did not do any serious harm to it as the creature stood it's ground; not even moving an inch. "Wow..." She muttered in surprise. Quickly turning its head, the monster fired its ray at her! But like before, Rainbow Dash's incredible speed helped her in avoiding the monster's primary weapon by flying upwards again, even if she was dangerously close to it. The beast was hoping this pony would give it a challenge in a full-on fight, but the fact she was using her speed to avoid its attacks and get strikes of her own simply annoyed it. Rainbow Dash now moved behind the seemingly unsuspecting creature - with a twenty foot distance placed between them - as it was still looking around. "Alright, let's see you handle this!" With that, Rainbow started racing straight for it with incredible speed, intending to take it down by surprise! But she did not anticipate the creature's tail to be a problem. Once she came closer - about five feet or so - Rainbow Dash was caught completely off guard when the creature's long tail suddenly swung like a whip, smacking her across the face, and sending the proud Wonderbolt crashing through the dirt! The crustacean now turned and began approaching it's downed prey. Rainbow quickly got up and shook her head before turning to her right - to see the ravenous look on the beast's face, who was now standing only inches away, with one of it's front legs raised, ready to strike down and impale the young Wonderbolt. But her reflexes were faster than the mutant expected; she quickly jumped out of the way before it's leg shot downward and pierced the dirt instead. "What are these things made of?" Rainbow Dash questioned to herself, surprised by how though its exoskeleton was. But nevertheless, she was still ready to go for another round with the red monster. ... In another part in Ponyville, another one of the beasts had attacked the school where the young colts and fillies were residing by breaking through the wall to reach them. Luckily though, everypony inside the school managed to successfully escape the monster without any harm. The monster was now currently chasing the teacher, Cheerilee, and her students through the town. As they were running, however, one unfortunate filly - which happened to be Diamond Tiara - accidentally tripped and fell on the ground. The other fillies and colts were too caught up to notice this as they ran for their lives screaming! Diamond turned behind to see her pursuer slowly approaching her before coming to a stop. It stood about nine feet away from her. The young filly was consumed with fear, as she stared back at the creature's murderous eyes. Wasting no time, the crustacean quickly fired its primary weapon at the filly, intending for a quick kill. But luckily, its deadly ray ended up being blocked by a purple-colored, transparent, bubble-like force field — and the creator of this was none other than The Princess of Friendship herself! Twilight had flown in between Diamond Tiara and the monster's primary weapon before it could reach the filly to create a shield just in the nick of time, thus saving both herself and Diamond's life. The beast continued firing its deadly ray while Twilight still kept her shield up. As she was doing so, Twilight turned to Diamond Tiara with a concerned look. "Are you okay?" She asked, clearly worried. "Yeah, I am now." Diamond Tiara said with a thankful smile which caused Twilight to smile back at her. However, this was cut short when something suddenly caught Twilight's attention. Turning back to where the pink beam was still hitting, Twilight became shocked to find cracks in the spot of the shield where the monster's beam was currently making contact. Twilight did not know what that ray was composed of, but she now knew that it was very deadly and very powerful! After the beast finally ceased its assault, Twilight dematerialized her shield. Turning to Diamond Tiara, Twilight yelled "Go!" Without hesitation, the filly quickly turned and galloped off without looking back. Now, with nopony to worry about getting harmed, Twilight turned her glare at the monstrous mutant. As if returning the favor, the beast narrowed its pupiless eyes at its alicorn opponent. With a sudden loud screech, the vicious beast began racing towards Twilight, before suddenly jumping towards her like a lion pouncing on an unsuspecting antelope. The Princess made good use of her wings; with a quick flap from them, she was out of harm's way just as the monster slashed its front sharp legs at where she was previously standing a moment ago. Twilight, now hovering in the air above the monster, retaliated with a purple beam of magic she shot from her horn, striking the crustacean's chest and causing it to screech in pain. Magic was something this ancient predator had never felt before, and it hurt quite a lot. But thanks to the durability of its exoskeleton, the monster was able to withstand an attack that would blow a timberwolf to pieces, albeit not without taking some damage. With this, the monster returned the favor with its own long-range, energy-based attack. Its pinkish beam shot from it's mandibles and raced straight for Twilight. The young princess, knowing what this attack was capable of, easily evaded it by moving out of the beam's path, while at the same time firing another beam of magic back at the creature! ... Meanwhile, Princess Luna herself was currently locked in a battle with another of the beasts. Despite its larger size, the Princess of the Night was able to hold her own against the vicious crustacean. She was, after all, one of the most powerful ponies in Equestria. Aiming her horn at the monster, Luna fired a blue beam of magic, hoping to end this battle as soon as possible! Though, that was far easier said than done — her powerful beam was quickly countered when the mutant fired its deadly ray from it's mouth at the same time she fired her's from her horn! Magic and micro-oxygen clashed with one another, as the two beams of different colors became locked in a struggle for dominance. The Princess of the Night gritted her teeth and mustered all her strength to overwhelm the monster's primary weapon. Yet, despite her best effort, she was not winning whatsoever. The beams were still evenly matched. That was until the monster's pinkish beam began to slowly, but surely, overpower and push back Luna's magical one. Try as she might, the Night Princess could not stop it nor push it back, no matter how hard she tried. Princess Luna was already at her limit, sweating and concentrating even harder simply to halt the monster's attack, but to no avail, the beast's primary weapon continued pushing back Luna's. But out of nowhere, a yellow beam suddenly shot past Luna and clashed with the monster's pinkish beam to aid her magical one. Luna turned slightly to her left, to notice her elder sister who controls the sun, firing her own magic at the monster's primary weapon. Luna smiled, appreciating the help from her sister. Together with their combined might and power, the magic of the two sisters almost immediately began turning the tables and overwhelming the beast's weapon! Its eyes widened in shock as the combined beams of yellow and blue colors eventually overwhelmed its own, pink one, and shot towards it, blasting it in the face and body. The combined beams knocked the beast backwards off its feet, sending it crashing across the ground like a football. "These creatures are powerful." Princess Luna commented, still breathing heavily and still exhausted from her struggle. "And what's worse, there are too many of them." Princess Celestia added with dread. Just one of them had already proven to be superior to Chrysalis in terms of power, and with who-knows how many more were out there, she could only hope that help would come soon. Back at the Changeling Hive, things were pretty much the same. A group of intruding creatures had invaded and attacked the Changeling Hive for reasons unknown to the changelings. Despite now being a peaceful race, the changelings were still fully capable fighters and warriors. The intruders mainly relied on their rays, sharp legs and tails in combat. After seeing what these beams were capable of, the changelings were wise to avoid them. One thing the changelings had as an advantage, was their ability to fly and shapeshift, making it quite difficult for the seemingly ground-based creatures to fight them head-on. But one of these invaders did not bother to join its brethren, as it stood quietly outside the hive. It was standing a good distance away from the hive and watching the battle unfold. It knew that these creatures would not fall so easily, but it already had a solution for the problem. Lifting its head up, the crustacean let out a very loud screech from its mouth. ... The rest were still busy battling the changelings. Firing their rays, swinging their tails, trying anything they could to kill at least one of them. This went on... until they heard the call. Upon hearing it, all the invaders suddenly ceased their assault and turned towards the direction of where the screech came from. Then, much to the surprised changelings, every single one of the dangerous creatures almost immediately began retreating from the hive, climbing down from the tall hive until they reached the ground below and crawling away. "Heh, look at that, they're retreating!" Pharynx gloated at their apparent victory, but Thorax was not so sure if that was what they were actually doing. ... The crustaceans have left the hive and were now racing towards the lone one that was patiently standing outside and never attacked the hive. Then, surprisingly enough, all the creatures began to pile up on the lone one, much to the changeling's utter confusion as they watched from above. But their confusion would soon be turned into surprise and awe when a very bright, orange-yellow light suddenly erupted from where the creatures had piled together, forcing the changelings to cover their eyes with their hooves due to the light's intense brightness. It was far brighter than the lights the changelings did when they transformed into their new forms. When the light finally ceased, the changelings removed their hooves and opened their eyes to see what was going on — and they really wished they hadn't done so, for their faces were now filled with shock and horror at what they see. In the place of the smaller creatures, stood one large creature, and by large. In terms of size, this beast was nearly the same height as the Changeling Hive itself and would make a maulwurf look like a guinea pig. In terms of appearance, it looked almost identical to the smaller ones, but with some minor physical differences. Besides the size difference, it had two crab-like pincers located on its chest and two long spear-like appendages sprouting from its back. The smaller creatures had merged together into one, gigantic monster. This was the Aggregate form of Destoroyah! ... "Who could have guessed that they can do that?" An orange-colored changeling asked among the crowd of shocked changelings. Thorax and Pharynx simply stared in shock and horror, completely bewildered and in total disbelief by this new and unexpected ability their opponents (now single opponent) possessed. Turning its attention to the hive, the newly evolved monster began to advance towards it. The changelings now begin to get really worried, and even panic. It's one thing to fight creatures of similar sizes to themselves, but to try and fight a gigantic creature that was nearly the same height as the hive itself? Despite the seemingly hopeless situation, Thorax's expression hardened in determination and seriousness. "Well, no matter what, we're gonna keep fighting on, whatever it takes!" He declared with a unusually loud and stern tone, something which even surprised Pharynx. "Heh, never thought I'd see this side of you." Pharynx commented with a smirk. As the Aggregate Destoroyah was coming closer and closer, ready to demonstrate its new power... it suddenly stopped and halted in the middle of its advance. Now standing half-way towards the Changeling Hive. Turning to its right, the monster stared at the distance, seemingly at nothing. "What's it doing now?" Pharynx in confusion. His question was quickly answered when another bright light appeared from the Aggregate Destoroyah, completely engulfing the creature and forcing the changelings to once again cover their eyes. When the light disappeared, a new form emerged, which immediately took to the sky. Unlike the Aggregate form, this new form of Destoroyah was visibly different in more than a few ways. It retained its red exoskeleton and its frill-like crest, but it looked less like a crustacean and more like a dragon, with not one, but two sets of wings. It retained its long tail with the pincer at the end, but had no visible legs, nor any kind of limbs for that matter besides its four wings. It had a reptilian mouth instead of mandibles and a pointed horn protruding from its head. The Aggregate form of Destoroyah had transformed into its Flying form. The changelings simply stared in even more surprise and shock as they watch the Flying Form of Destoroyah head east, to an unknown location. The initial confusion for Thorax remained for no longer than five seconds, before he gained a look of horror and fear at the realization of where the beast was now heading. "It's heading for Ponyville!" Thorax exclaimed loudly, before taking off into the air and turning back to his fellow changelings. "We have to warn Twilight, Spike and everyone else!" The changelings nodded and, Pharynx included, began flying up with Thorax. "Pharynx, wait! I need to you look after the hive while I'm gone!" Thorax ordered. "In case more of those creatures arrive." "Good idea, brother, you can count on me!" Pharynx said before flying down. Thorax nodded before he and his fellow changelings quickly flew off to where the Flying Destoroyah was now heading, hoping to reach them in time before the beast could! Back over to Ponyville, things were not looking any brighter. The invading monsters' power and numbers were overwhelming, even with the combined effort of the three Princesses and Twilight's friends. But miraculously, no pony or animal was killed. "Alright you big crab...spider...scorpion...uhh, thing...meanie! Time to eat your just desserts!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, aiming her Party Canon at a Destoroyah that was coming at her, and shooting all kinds of desserts and confettis in the creature's face, particularly its eyes. While the desserts didn't really do any harm to it, they did blind it as the monster halted and shook its head to get rid of the smeared desserts. "Ha! I knew my chocolate cupcakes would come in handy one day!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed to herself proudly. "Take that, you beast!" Rarity exclaimed, firing a blue beam of magic from her horn at another Destoroyah, and hitting it in the face. While her magic was not quite was powerful as Twilight's, it was still somewhat effective. But all she did was succeeded in mostly irritating the crustacean, which responded by firing its primary weapon at the now-frightened fashion designer. Before the beam could strike her, the unicorn seemingly popped out of existence. Rarity reappeared next to Starlight, who had used her magic to teleport her out harm's way in the nick of time. "Thank you, darling. That was a close one!" Rarity smiled gratefully. "Any time, Rarity." Starlight Glimmer smiled back. Turning around, Starlight glared at the monster, which was now charging towards them! Firing several beams from her horn in rapid succession, Starlight struck the crustacean in the chest several times. It was more effective than Rarity's attack, as it was enough to cause the crustacean to stop and screech out in pain. The creature regained its composure, before returning the favor with its deadly ray. Thinking quickly, the unicorn summoned a shield and successfully blocked the attack. But was taken aback when her shield showed signs of cracking the moment the ray made contact with it. When the monster ceased its attack, Starlight dematerialized her shield. Starlight looked at the creature with surprise and concern — even Twilight Sparkle would have a hard time getting past her shield, yet this creature was able to do it with seemingly little effort. Whatever these creatures were, they were quite powerful. Elsewhere, another Destoroyah had cornered Angel the rabbit against a wall. The white rabbit shook in fright as the monster stared at him hungrily, drooling with starvation. The creature was slowly advancing towards its prey, when suddenly... "Stop it!" It froze in place when it was met with a very intense and almost frightening look from Fluttershy, who had flown in-between Angel and the monster. Fluttershy hovered in front of the monster's face and used the full power of the Stare as she looked into the beast's eyes. "You listen here, buster! How could go around hurting innocent ponies and animals like that? Have you no shame?!" Fluttershy scolded the monster rather fiercely as she floated in front of the larger creature's face, not taking her eyes off its surprised face. The mutant was initially still, its widened eyes in direct contact with Fluttershy's. The pegasus would use this on misbehaving animals... but unfortunately for her, this creature was not the same thing as a misbehaving animal — it was far worse. The effect of the Stare did not last as long as Fluttershy had intended, the monster's pupiless eyes slowly narrowed before closing completely. The beast shook its head, breaking Fluttershy's eye contact completely, before reopening its eyes and looking the yellow pegasus again. This time, its face resembled that of an angry tiger ready to strike. Fluttershy's scold turned into a frightened gaze, as she realized that the beast had overcome her ultimate weapon. The crustacean now inched closer to her, its mandibles an inch away from Fluttershy's muzzle. As the frightened pegasus gazed into the monster's murderous stare, she felt something bite onto her tail from behind before suddenly pulling her away from the creature... just in time to avoid the beast's extendable inner jaw shooting forward like a piston that nearly had her. Once Fluttershy was safely away from the creature, she turned to see Applejack holding her by the tail with her mouth. Should the farm pony been a second too late, things would have been extremely bad. "You okay, Sugar Cube?" Applejack asked worriedly, letting go of her friend's tail. "I think so." Fluttershy replied softly. Both ponies quickly turned back in fright to see the crustacean standing dangerously close to them, having one of its sharp-tipped legs raised in the air and ready to strike them down with it. But before it could do just that... *SKREEEEEEEEOOONNGK!* A very loud and very familiar roar suddenly echoed through Ponyville. All of the Destoroyahs that were attacking immediately ceased their actions upon hearing this. Both the ponies and crustaceans looked to the east and spotted the King of the Monsters advancing towards Ponyville. With each step he took, Godzilla shook the ground beneath them and sent flocks of birds fleeing from the nearby trees. Due to his enormous size, the ponies could see that he was still much farther away from Ponyville, but that distance was closing fast. However, Godzilla wasn't the only kaiju heading this way. Suddenly, a loud screech came from the opposite direction from where Godzilla was coming, prompting the crustaceans and ponies to turn and saw another giant creature coming from the west side and heading towards Ponyville. Unlike the Monster King, this new creature was flying in the sky and was approaching much Ponyville faster than Godzilla thanks to its more effective method of locomotion. Seeing this, the smaller Juvenile Destoroyahs almost immediately began racing towards the location of where the flying creature was predicted to land. All the crustaceans that were in Ponyville, that were battling and attacking the ponies, ceased their their assault and began fleeing from the town, leaving it entirely. They left almost as quickly as they came. "Look at that. Their running away!" Rainbow Dash gloated, hovering in the mid-air whilst thinking they had apparently won. "I don't think they're retreating." Starlight said with concern, not willing to take any chances so quickly. The flying kaiju eventually landed on the ground, on its stomach, a mile away from Ponyville. Once it did so, it wasn't long before the smaller Destoroyahs eventually reached it and immediately began to swarm the larger monster, climbing atop its huge body in masses. In no time, the larger monster was almost completely covered by the smaller, Juvenile forms. And after that was over and done with, an orange-yellow light suddenly erupted from the living mass of crustaceans. The light was so bright that the ponies and even Godzilla were forced to cover or close their eyes. "Cool!" Pinkie exclaimed, watching the 'light show' with a pair of sunglasses that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. "What the hay is going on?!" Rainbow Dash cried out while covering her eyes with her hooves. "I don't know!" Twilight replied. When the bright light finally died down and disappeared, the ponies were finally able to see... with utter shock and horror. "Oh, my Celeastia..." Twilight muttered in disbelief as she covered her mouth with her left hoof. Her eyes widened while her pupils were the size of pinholes, while her ears flattened against her head, completely shocked and horrified at what she was now seeing. The two princesses of the sun and moon were also equally horrified, as was everypony else was right now. In the place of the flying and smaller creatures now stood a single, gigantic one. This new creature looked something like a gargoyle and Sunset Shimmer's demon form, but far more terrifying than either of them. For starters, it was incredibly big, even more so than Godzilla, and bulky. Like the Monster King, this creature was also bipedal with two arms, and with sharp claws sticking out of its feet and knees. Its arms were cylinder-shaped with three large claws that opened like hands. Two sets of dragon-like wings spread from its back, the larger set behind the shoulders and a much smaller set on the sides between its legs and arms. Its chest was dominated by a beige-colored floral pattern, and its long tail ended with a set of pincers made for grasping. The creature retained its previous forms' frill-like crest on its head and crimson exoskeleton. Like its flying form, it had a reptilian jaw filled with sharp teeth, and much like the unicorns and alicorns, it also possessed a single horn on the top of the head. All of the previous crustacean-like creatures have merged together into one, extremely powerful being: Destoroyah! The Destroyer of all Living Things! Once the transformation was complete, Destoroyah let loose a high-pitched roar from his nightmarish mouth. At this point, Twilight Sparkle heard the two voices of the Elias in her head return. "Twilight Sparkle, we heard a distress. Is something wrong?" 'Something wrong' would be a very light way of putting the situation they were currently facing right now. "It's a long story, but to keep it short: Some kind of crustacean-like creatures attacked Ponyville a minute ago, and then a flying creature came and... they seemed to have merged together into a new creature." The princess explained the events that had just occurred the best and shortest way possible. She heard no response from her other-worldly friends. "Elias, can you hear me?" After a moment of silence, the voices returned. "Twilight... the creature you are describing... does it happen to have four wings, a tail and a horn?" "Yes, it does. Is it a creature from you're world?" With some hesitation, the Elias' voices came back, but this time they seemed frightened - very frightened, as if they just had a terrifying nightmare. Although, if they had already seen a creature like this before, their fearful tones should be easy to understand. "Twilight, the creature that is currently in you're world is possibly the worst creature from our world to come." This took the princess by surprise, and she really did't like the way the Elias described just it. "How bad is it?" Twilight hesitated to ask while her eyes were still focused on the bipedal crustacean,and her mind was racing with terrifying thoughts and possibilities. "The monster's name is 'Destoroyah'. He is one of the most powerful creatures in our world. He cannot be reasoned with, and his only purpose is to destroy all living things. He will never stop until he has hunted down and destroyed every creature in your world." Twilight's legs were literally shaking with fear and her mouth was left hanging open. She stared at the demonic kaiju with a horrified look on her face. She expected this creature to be bad, but she did not expect it to be downright evil — that he desired the extinction of every living creature in their world. Even some of the past enemies such as Tirek, the Storm King, Chrysalis, and Sombra never had such horrifying and fear-fueling goals. ... The two kaiju begin to battle as Destoroyah goes on the offensive by firing a Micro-Oxygen Beam from his mouth — a much stronger variation of his lesser forms' ray. The pink-colored beam struck Godzilla's left knee, causing the Monster King to roar of pain. But the Monster King is quick to return the favor: dorsal spines lightening up, Godzilla fires his Atomic Breath at the monstrous crustacean. Aiming for the evil monster's chest, the blue beam struck Destoroyah's floral pattern dead on. Unfortunately for Godzilla, after the smoke cleared, Destoroyah was still standing, completely unaffected by the attack. The beast suddenly lunged forward towards the Monster King on foot, before reaching out and grabbing Godzilla by the throat with his three-clawed 'hand'. Using his immense strength, Destoroyah forcefully shoved Godzilla down and smashed his head against the ground. In retaliation, Godzilla swung his tail and smacked Destoroyah's leg with it. But the crustacean was nether phased nor impressed. In response, Destoroyah turned his back on Godzilla and grabbed the latter by the neck with the pincer located at the end of his tail. With a strong flap from his huge wings, Destoroyah took to the air and proceeded to fly north whilst still holding Godzilla with the tail. Destoroyah deliberately flew low to the ground, which resulted in Godzilla getting forcefully dragged through the dirt. Wherever Destoroyah went, Godzilla would follow through the ground itself. Soon, both kaiju left Ponyville and went into the Everfree Forest, leaving the ponies both speechless and horrified at what they saw. Twilight eventually snapped out it. "We have to help him!" She exclaimed, spreading her wings and preparing to take off. "Are you nuts?!" Rainbow Dash flew in front of her, spreading out her front hooves. "You saw what that thing did! How are we suppose to fight it?" "We'll think of a plan! Godzilla saved us from Ghidorah in the Dragon Lands. We owe him for that." Twilight argued back, her wings remaining spread and still ready for takeoff. She recalled the moment when Godzilla blasted King Ghidorah in the back just as the three-headed monster was ready to kill them. If Godzilla was not present, she doubted they would still be here. For that matter, Ponyville would probably not have been here, either. "She's right, Rainbow. we do owe Godzilla one." Starlight agreed with her teacher as she stepped up next to Twilight, giving her a reassuring smile as she did so. "Yeah, but..." Rainbow tired to argue but couldn't find the right words. "Besides," Pinkie suddenly popped up."I think Rainbow is too sacred to go." She said with a mischievous smile. "What?! I'm not scared of that overgrown..." Rainbow paused for a moment to find the right word, but couldn't think of one "Whatever it is!" "I think you're scaaaaared~," Pinkie continued teasing her friend, her smile growing wider and wider. "Oh yeah?! Alright then, let's go and help, Big G!" Rainbow Dash declared, turning and preparing to go after the two kaiju. "While Ah do agree with ya'll, Rainbow did have a point. How do we help him?" Applejack asked, a little uncertain about the situation. "Even with our combined power, I fear this monster may be too strong." Princess Celestia said in a worried tone as she approached them along with Luna. In fact, Celestia was certain that Destoroyah would be too large and too powerful to be contained in Tartarus with all the other monsters. Twilight Sparkle thought for a moment, pondering how to handle this problem. "We could distract it, and maybe that could give Godzilla enough time to recover and fight back and, hopefully, defeat it." She suggested, turning to her friends for their opinions. The princesses of the sun and moon looked at one another, still not quite sure if that will be enough to stop the monstrous crustacean. But right now, this was their best option. "Very well, Twilight. We shall assist him." The sun princess finally said. "Agreed, I shall smite that monstrosity!" Princess Luna declared loudly, smashing her front hooves together. "Thank you." Twilight smiled before turning to her other friends. "Spike, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie, you stay here to help out Ponyville from the attack the creatures caused." "Got ya, Twi!" Applejack happily agreed without question. ... Destoroyah was dragging Godzilla further away from Ponyville and deeper into the Everfree Forest, until he finally released his grip from the Monster King's neck. Godzilla came to an abrupt halt after being dragged through the ground for long enough. He got up and roared angrily at the evil beast, who landed right in front of him. Clenching his fists, Godzilla swung a right hook, delivering a powerful punch across Destoroyah's face. This was followed with another blow from his left hook. At this point, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer - who was using her magic to self-levitate - and Rainbow Dash arrived, getting close to the battle ground. "Look, there they are!" Twilight exclaimed, pointing a hoof to where the two kaiju were currently brawling. Destoroyah's horn became covered in orange-colored energy as it seemed to extend out. The vicious monster then bowed his head, and slashed Godzilla across the chest with an attack known as the Horn Katana. Destoroyah's energy sword sliced straight through Godzilla's seemingly impenetrable hide as the Monster King roared out in pain as he clenched his chest with his left hand. Once he removed his hand, he noticed blood on his clawed hand, as well as blood dripping from the fresh wound on his chest. "Wow, that's unexpected." Rainbow Dash commented in surprise at Destoroyah's new ability. The evil kaiju followed his assault by firing his Micro-Oxygen beam directly at Godzilla's open wound. Roaring in pain, Godzilla fell down like a toppled tree as Destoroyah roared in sadistic delight at the sight of other creatures in such excruciating pain. Destoroyah opened his mouth to shoot Godzilla's with his primary weapon again, but was instead met with four magical beams of different colors that struck his face, particularly his eyes. Destoroyah roared out in irritation, covering his eyes with his claws from the stinging pain. After removing his claws from his face, he began looking around for those who were responsible for attacking him. Looking up, the evil beast spotted the five ponies hovering high in the air, at which point Destoroyah narrowed his eyes, as he recognized all five of them. After all, he did technically fight all of them not too long ago, when he was divided into his smaller and weaker forms. "I think that we got his attention. Now what, genius?" Rainbow turned to Twilight, hoping she had a plan for this. But truth be told, Twilight never actually thought that far ahead about what to do should Destoroyah turn in his wrath on them. Before she could reply, the enraged kaiju fired his Micro-Oxygen beam up at them, intending to kill all of the flying ponies at once. "Watch out!" Starlight exclaimed as she and everypone else scattered in different directions to avoid the deadly beam of death. Thanks to their comparably small sizes, the ponies were actually rather difficult targets for Destoroyah to strike in the air. Seeing this, the evil kaiju decided to get up-close and personally take out the equines with his claws. With a strong flap from his four wings, the demonic beast took off and flew upwards, going directly for the five ponies that were flying in the sky. Seeing this and knowing how powerful Destoroyah is, Twilight and her friends knew better than to face the demonic kaiju head-on. Without a second thought, they quickly turned and began flying away from the incoming monster. Destoroyah followed and chased the ponies through the sky over the Everfree Forest, intending on killing them. It was almost like watching a hungry hawk chasing small songbirds, with the ponies serving as the songbirds. "For such a big monster, he's pretty fast!" Rainbow Dash commented whilst looking over her shoulder to see how far Destoroyah was from them. Indeed she was right, despite being many times bigger than the ponies, Destoroyah was a surprisingly fast flyer as he was effortlessly keeping up with Rainbow, Twilight, Starlight and the two princesses. In fact, Destoroyah was slowly gaining on them. "He's coming closer!" Starlight exclaimed, looking back to see the monster fast approaching them. Destoroyah prepares to fire his Micro-Oxygen beam at the fleeing ponies. But before he could unleash said weapon, he was suddenly struck down by an unknown force from above, sending him plummeting downwards and crashing on the ground below, crushing many trees in the process and kicking up a dust-cloud. The ponies stopped to hover mid-air as they looked back and see what had just happened. Their faces were filled with astonishment and awe at what they were now seeing. Hovering in mid-air not too far away from them was a creature that very much resembled a butterfly — except for the fact that it was huge. Granted, it was not as big as Godzilla or Destoroyah, but still was extremely large. It had six fuzzy legs beneath its body, while the rest of i's body was covered in white fur, with two blue eyes and a pair antenna perched on the top of its head, as well as having gray mandibles. But what was most striking, were the wings; they were very beautiful the way they were colored with a mixture of orange, black, yellow and red. "A giant butterfly?" Rainbow asked, while the rest of her friends were almost at loss for words. Twilight and her friends suddenly heard the Elias's voices return, "Do not fear her, for that is Mothra — our guardian. She is here to help you!" "Really? Thank you!" Twilight exclaimed happily, seeing as how they now had an even greater chance of winning this. From the ground, Destoroyah got up and roared hatefully at the divine moth. Mothra responded by flying downwards towards Destoroyah, who, in turn, fired his Micro-Oxygen beam at his new opponent. In spite of her large size, the giant insect was able to skillfully evade and dodge the devastating beam, all whilst still flying straight for its owner. As Mothra came closer, however, she failed to notice Destoroyah's pincer-tipped tail, which lunged forward like a viper, grabbing her by the torso. Mothra chirped in surprise and struggled to break free, but it was no use. Holding Mothra in place with his tail, Destoroyah was prepared to shoot his primary weapon at her. But before he could, Destoroyah and Mothra heard a familiar roar and turned to see Godzilla charging straight for the former. With his immense bulk, Godzilla smashed his right shoulder against Destoroyah's chest with full force, forcing him to release Mothra. Godzilla followed this by firing his Heat Ray at full power directly at Destoroyah's chest. But the crustacean's exoskeleton seemed to be far more durable than expected, and the mutant countered back with his own energy beam that struck Godzilla's shoulder. At that moment, Twilight, Starlight, Celestia and Luna all fired their combined beams of magic at the monster, striking Destoroyah in the back of the head and causing him to roar out in pain and surprise. the demonic kaiju angrily looked up at them, really getting irritated of these bothersome creatures. Flapping his wings, the enraged Destoroyah took to the air to try and attack the five ponies, but screeched in surprise as he halted in mid-air once he was not too far from the ground, because Godzilla had grabbed Destoroyah by the tail with his hands before he could fly any higher. Using his strength, the Monster King slammed the demonic kaiju against the ground as hard as he could. "I believe we may be able to win this." Celestia stated with a confident smile. Now extremely furious, Destoroyah got up and angrily roared at Godzilla at the top of his lungs, before lunging forward and grabbing the Monster King by his throat with his right claw while placing his left claw on Godzilla's chest. With strength that was nearly equal to Godzilla's, Destoroyah forcefully pushed and shoved the Monster King down on the ground. Almost immediately after he did so, Mothra flew in front of Destoroyah, hovering in mid-air at his eye level. The butterfly kaiju flapped her wings and began releasing a yellowish powder-like substance in the form of shiny scales from them. Her scales seemed harmless enough, but they had a deadly surprise. Mothra hoped Destoroyah would use his energy beam to demonstrate this, but unfortunately for her, Destoroyah instead activated his Horn Katana. With a single swing from his head, Destoroyah slashed Mothra with his energy sword, seriously wounding her and sending her crashing onto the ground. "Mothra!" Twilight cried out. Godzilla soon got up and swung his powerful tail, smacking Destoroyah across the face with it. Quickly recovering, the evil beast turned to Godzilla — activating his Horn Katana again, Destoroyah bowed his head in an attempt to slice Godzilla with it. But instead of taking Destoroyah's energy sword head on, Godzilla wisely moved out of the way of the horn's path, causing Destoroyah to completely miss his target. By missing his target, the evil kaiju had left himself open for a counterattack. And that was exactly what Godzilla did: clenching his right fist, the Monster King delivered devistating uppercut to Destoroyah's lower jaw, forcing him to take a few steps back and nearly knocking him down on his back. Knowing his normal Atomic Breath was not very effective against Destoroyah, Godzilla had a solution for this problem. Charging up his body, Godzilla gathered more atomic energy than the usual amount. This was evident from the outside, because instead of the usual neon-blue light, Godzilla's dorsal plates flashed and glowed with a fierce, fiery red color whilst also being surrounded by red-colored electricity. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Starlight Glimmer - having never seen this before - could only gaze in surprise and anticipation to what Godzilla was about to do. The Monster King opened his mouth... and fired his Nuclear Fusion Heat Ray — an even stronger variation than his Spiral Heat Ray. Unlike the Atomic Breath and Spiral Heat Ray, the Nuclear Fusion Heat Ray was red in color, and far hotter and more powerful. Destoroyah's yellow eyes turned from anger to shock as the crimson beam headed straight for him with blinding speed before smashing into his floral-patterned chest with incredible force and power. The beast cried out in agonizing pain whilst being pushed back by the Nuclear Fusion Heat Ray. The five ponies were at a loss for words as they watched Godzilla's newest attack in action. "Wow! Is that fire?!" A shocked and amazed Rainbow Dash asked loudly. "I don't think so. He's not a dragon, remember?" Starlight reminded her. "Godzilla's power is at a level that even I cannot comprehend." Celestia muttered with even greater shock. After the attack had ceased its assault and the crimson beam dissipated, Destoroyah was left with a large and very serious burn mark on his chest with smoke rising from it. He looked at Godzilla with a shocked expression, while the Monster King seemed ready to fire another beam. Turning his head to his right side and looking down, Destoroyah noticed a river flowing behind him. An extremely bright light erupted from where Destoroyah stood, and when it dissipated, the monstrous crustacean was gone — in its place were the small, crab-like creatures, which quickly raced towards the river before diving down to escape. After the last of the miniature Destoroyahs had disappeared under the flowing river and fled, Godzilla allowed himself to have a roar of triumph. *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOONGK!* The five ponies couldn't help but smile and cheer with Godzilla. "Take that, Ugly!" Rainbow shouted mockingly at Destoroyah's retreat. After the battle was over and done with, the Monster King turned his attention to the equines who helped him. This made some of them feel a little uneasy as he stared at them. On first glance, Godzilla instantly recognized all five of them from back when he arrived in Ponyville, but the one that caught his interest the most was Twilight herself. Upon meeting her for the first time, Godzilla sensed nothing but positive energy coming from her, and since then, he wondered what it all meant. At the same time, Twilight also began feeling something as she stared back into Godzilla's amber eyes. She felt something in his heart, which was neither hostility nor aggression. The Princess of Friendship slowly began to descend down to the Monster King's eye level. Her friends made no attempts to stop her, as they trusted Twilight's judgment and what she was doing. When Twilight stopped, she found herself hovering right in front of Godzilla's face. inches from his snout and gazing into his brilliant golden eyes. Even now, the young princess still couldn't get over how large Godzilla was, even if it wasn't the first time she had seen him up close. Godzilla made no move and simply stared into Twilight's beautiful purple eyes, just as she stared back into his brilliant amber ones. Finally, after a few moments of hesitation, Twilight took a deep breath before extending her right hoof, and gently placing it on Godzilla's snout. The gentle touch of Twilight's hoof on him gave Godzilla a sense of kindness and compassion, not sensing any kind of fear or aggression in her. A feeling surrounds Godzilla, a feeling that he has not experienced or felt very often. Having lived for so long, he couldn't tell what to make of this feeling, but he did know that he's become fond of this pony. The same can also be said for Twilight; despite Godzilla's size and scary-looking appearance, she felt pain and loneliness in his heart more than anything else. Remembering the tragic story of how another of his kind had lost his family and later his life, Twilight gave Godzilla a sympathetic smile as she kept her hoof on his upper jaw and gazed into his golden eyes. Rainbow Dash's mouth was literally hanging open, completely amazed as to how calm and docile Godzilla was right now. Minutes ago, he was a force to be reckoned with, but now... now he seemed so... gentle. Celestia and Luna smiled sweetly at the connection between Godzilla and Twilight. The went for Starlight, who also admired the touching moment. A sudden chirp caught everyone's attention. Turning around, everyone saw the-seriously-injured Mothra laying on the ground, hurt, but alive. "Oh no, Mothra!" Twilight exclaimed. Quickly, she removed her hoof from Godzilla's snout and, along with her friends, quickly flew down to the ground where Mothra was currently laying. They land in front of Mothra's face, and looked at her as she stared back at them. They hear the Elias's voices in their heads. "Mothra has been hurt, hasn't she?" "Indeed, but I know a pony who can help her." Princess Celestia stated with a benevolent smile. All of the sudden, everyone began to feel vibrations through the ground heading their way. "Now what?" Rainbow muttered before flying up to see what was going on. As soon as the pegasus was in the air, well above the forest, her eyes quickly landed on the source of the vibrations. "Guys, you might wanna see this." She called out, not taking off her eyes from the source. Not wasting any time, the rest quickly flew up where Rainbow was currently hovering. "What is it, Rainbow?" Twilight asked. Instead of answering, the blue pegasus simply pointed at a certain direction with her hoof. Following to where she was pointing at, the other ponies were met with yet, another surprise, though one would think they should get used to seeing gigantic creatures by now. Coming from the north side was Anguirus. "Elias?" Starlight called out while not taking her eyes off the quadrupedal dinosaur. "Yes, miss Starlight Glimmer?" "Please, just call me 'Starlight'." She blushed. "Anyway, there's another giant creature heading our way. It has spikes on its back and looks kind of like a crocodile." Then it hit her. "And I think this is the creature that my village encountered six days ago." Starlight explained whilist describing Anguirus. "There is no need to fear him. That is Anguirus, one of Godzilla's friends, remember?" "I imagined him to look a bit different." Rainbow Dash muttered under her breath. Upon seeing Anguirus, Godzilla let out a roar, but it wasn't of the war cry-type, it was a very light and cheerful roar. Having been in this world for over six days and fighting some of his old enemies, Godzilla was happy to meet another of his old allies from his world again! Anguirus replied back with a non-threatening roar of his own. "Looks like their happy to see each other again." Starlight smiled happily. "Indeed." Celestia agreed with a kind smile of her own. Twilight suddenly flew towards the two kaiju, until she was to Godzilla's eye level again. "Godzilla, if you want to, you and your friends can come and visit Ponyville again." She offered him with a friendly smile. "I know you're first visit didn't exactly go all that well, but Ponyville is the friendliest place in Equestria, and everypony will accept you, no matter what you are or how you look. " Godzilla stared at the pony in surprise. This pony was actually wanting him and his fellow kaiju to meet up with the other ponies again and befriend them? The humans from his world would never even think of anything like that, they always saw him as a monster without feelings or emotions that needed to be destroyed. But these ponies weren't like that — they were nice to him. Sure, more than a few ponies did show fear and concern when he first arrived, but they never actually attacked him in any way. So, to show his agreement, Godzilla gave Twilight a quick nod with his head and a low but friendly growl. Twilight happily smiled at this. The ponies in Ponyville were cleaning up and repairing the damage the mutant crustaceans had caused, when they suddenly felt the vibrations through the ground return, which caused them to face the north side, where they spotted Godzilla, along with Anguirus, approaching the town from the Everfree Forest. Before anypony could make any kind of action or say anything, Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Starlight and Rainbow Dash landed in front of them. "Everypony, please remain calm." Princess Celestia ordered with a calm but firm tone. "There is nothing to fear. In fact, I would like you all to welcome our newest friends," She then pointed a hoof up at the Monster King and his ally. "Godzilla and Anguirus!" The ponies looked (understandably) shocked and astonished by this statement as they gazed up at the two enormous creatures. With their huge sizes and the incredible ability Godzilla demonstrated during his short battle with Destoroyah near Ponyville, one would expect the ponies to be at least uneasy about them. But even though the kaiju looked terrifying on the outside - and granted, they can be when provoked - the ponies trusted their princesses regardless. The residents of Ponyville slowly approached the two titans... before they smiled up at them, and let out happy cheers, which were followed by their front hooves stamping on the ground as a form of clapping. Now it was Godzilla and Anguirus' turn to be surprised and amazed. The ponies actually trusted them, and were happy to call the kaiju friends, despite how big, scary-looking and powerful they were. Both kaiju expected most of the ponies to show at least some levels of fear or anxiety, but they didn't. They truly see the kaiju as their friends. Princess Celestia walked up to Fluttershy, who was gazing up at the kaiju before turning her attention to her. "Fluttershy, one of Godzilla's friends has been badly hurt during the battle. Do you believe you can help her?" She asked. "Of course! I would be happy to, priness." Fluttershy happily agreed. "And I think you might like her once you meet her in person." Celestia added with a warm smile. The two kaiju, along with all the ponies in Ponyville, suddenly turned their attention farther west, and noticed Thorax, along with several other changelings, heading their way. But they suddenly stopped and hovered in mid-air once they saw Godzilla and Anguirus standing there, no doubt alarmed by the presence of the two kaiju. Spreading her wings, Twilight quickly flew up to meet up with her changeling friends. "What is it, Thorax ?" Twilight asked once she reached Thorax and hovered in mid-air in front of him. "Twilight, there was a flying creature heading to Ponyville... But I guess you knew about that, huh?" Thorax guessed as he turned to look at the two kaiju. Twilight chuckled. "Don't worry, it's all been taken care of. But since you're already here, I'd like to introduce you to our newest friends." She said with a smile before turning to Godzilla and Anguirus, who both looked at the changelings with interest, having never before seen such bizarre creatures. Griffonstone Griffonstone is the city that resides further east of Equestria's border. True to its namesake, this city is populated by griffons: a race of creatures with the front body of an eagle and hind body of a lion. Most griffons are considered quite greedy, their greed rivaling that of dragons, and unfriendly towards other races after the treasure 'Idol of Boreas' was lost. But that changed when the Cutie Map sent Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie to replace it with something far greater than treasure: Friendship. ... The griffons were currently busy with their usual daily activities, unaware that they would soon be payed a visit from a guest... from another world. Before any of them realized it, a very large shadow suddenly swooped out of nowhere and flew past the Griffon Kingdom in one second, creating small gusts of wind in the process — and that was all that was needed to catch the attention of its residents. When the griffons looked up in the sky to see what was going on, every single one of them quickly gained the exact same expressions the ponies received when they first encountered Godzilla seven days ago, and it was with the same reason. It was some sort of a flying creature, unlike anything seen in Equestria. The creature itself was currently flying circles in the sky directly above Griffonstone, with its gigantic wings spread wide. It appeared to be observing the Griffon Kingdom from above with interest. Normally, the griffons would have simply ignored the visitor and pretend as if it wasn't even there — but this was clearly not the case; the griffons were gazing at it with disbelief and shock. What shocked the griffons the most, was the creature's size: it was incredibly large, more so than any dragon or even an Ursa Major. Although it was moving, the griffons could still make out the appearance of the creature was and what it looked like. It somewhat resembled a roc, a species of giant birds of prey, in that it had a very bird-like body design, with two enormous wings, a sharp-looking beak and a trio of clawed toes that occupied its feet. But that was about all it had in similarities to rocs, and birds in general. It had absolutely no feathers and most of its body was instead covered with dark-red skin that resembled scales. It had a very short tail and two backward-facing horns residing on the back of its head. Its belly and chest were an orange color while also having a row of spikes running down its chest. Three pronounced claws were seen on it's wings. The wings of this gigantic creature payed a closer resemblance to a dragon's than anything else. The griffons were looking at the Monster of the Skies: Rodan. "Either I'm dreaming or this is really happening." Gilda commented to herself while gazing up at Rodan in shocked disbelief. Ironically, it was no different from Rodan's point of view: the giant pterodon possessed excellent eyesight - far better than that of hawks, eagles or even rocs - that allowed him to see great distances away, or in this case, below; he could see the griffons quite clearly. He too was rather astonished and interested by such creatures, as he had never seen half-bird and half-lion hybrids before. While Rodan was still curious about the griffons, he knew that he needed to explore this new world further in order to adjust to this seemingly alien world better. Finally changing course, Rodan turned and began flying farther west, away from Griffonstone. "Well, that was... interesting?" Gabby said as she, and every other griffon, watched Rodan fly away from the Griffon Kingdom without looking back. > The Crystal Terror > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At least three days had passed since the defeat of the monster Destoroyah at the claws of Godzilla and hooves of the Princesses. Most of the ponies, dragons and changelings had begun to accept Godzilla, Mothra and Anguirus as their friends and allies, despite their enormous sizes and frightening appearances. Recently, there have been reports of a 'bird-like creature' flying across Equestria and visiting different locations in the land, this flying creature was first sighed in Griffonstone. Mothra had been far less active due to the injuries she had sustained from Destoroyah. Fluttershy and many of the nurse ponies and doctor ponies from Ponyville had done their best to help and heal her - and thankfully their hard work had payed off; Mothra was feeling a lot better but was still not quite ready for action. She decided to lay low and rest for most of her days. Most ponies, especially Fluttershy, had taken a great liking toward Mothra due to her majestic and beautiful butterfly-like appearance. Twilight and her friends were also been informed of the origin of the most recent kaiju menace. The Elias had explained that Destoroyah was the unintentional result of the Oxygen Destroyer, the weapon that killed the original Godzilla in his world. They explained that Destoroyah was originally a colony of very tiny crustaceans that, when exposed to the power of the weapon, grew larger and stronger, and eventually merged together to create the extremely deadly monster the ponies witnessed. Again, the ponies were left shocked and speechless by this discovery, and some felt a mild distaste towards the inhabitants of Godzilla's world for creating such a horrifying monster. Although they were not angry nor completely disgusted, mainly because Destoroyah's creation was completely unintentional and unexpected. But today, Equestria will face new threat, and this one has a close relation with one of the kaiju... ... Ponyville It was a beautifully, shining day in Ponyville and in the Castle of Friendship, where the Elias had explained to the Mane Six and their friends of how Godzilla's race's status became critically endangered. "So, Godzilla... is the last of his race?" Starlight Glimmer asked with shock and dread. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Spike, Starlight Glimmer and - most of all - Twilight Sparkle, felt great amount of sympathy and sorrow for the kaiju. They could understand a friendship problem, but this was something far worse than any friendship problem; the idea of one being the last of his/her species and having no others like them was very heartbreaking and dreadful to the ponies. "Poor Godzilla..." Fluttershy muttered sympathetically as she struggled to hold back a tear. Being an animal-lover and caretaker, this was extremely heartbreaking to the yellow pegasus. "That is not entirely true, there is another of Godzilla's race back in our world. He is far younger and his name is 'Junior'." "Really?" Twilight asked with a glimmer of hope in her voice. "Indeed, Junior is Godzilla's adopted son, and he is currently in our world, away from his father." "That's wonderful!" Twilight exclaimed happily, relived to hear that Godzilla was not the absolute last of his species. The same can also be said for her friends, as they too had smiles of relief on their faces. "Ah sure hope ya'll can send the big fella home soon." Applejack stated. Being a very compassionate pony, Applejack truly wished for the father to reunite with his son soon, seeing as how they had not seen each other in a long while. "Big G has a son?!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed excitedly before pulling out her Party Canon, and shouting... "Let's put a party for him in congratulations!" "Really, Pinkie?" Rainbow Dash muttered, turning to her friend. " Are parties your answer to everything?" "No, Pinkie's got a point." Twilight suddenly said before getting off her throne. "I do?" Pinkie Pie questioned, pointing a hoof at herself. "Yes," Twilight confirmed with a smile. "Godzilla hasn't seen his son for quite a long time and his probably feeling lonely. Besides, ever since he came to our world, he constantly saved us. Don't you think he deserves something from us in return? Pinkie, you get the ponies to prepare the party while I go and call Godzilla." "You got it!" Pinkie exclaimed with a wink, and with speed that rivaled Rainbow Dash's, she raced out of the room in a flash. "Rara's comin' to visit Ponyville, too. Maybe she can sing a song for the big guy." Applejack suggested with an eager smile. "That's perfect Applejack!" Twilight exclaimed happily. With that, Applejack also went outside to find her childhood friend. Twilight Sparkle smiled happily. After all, what are friends for? ... The Princess of Friendship flew outside of Ponyville and deep into the Everfree Forest. She was currently flying across the sky while scanning the ground below for her kaiju friend. And it din't take long before she eventually spotted him - coming across a large lake, she noticed the very familiar pointed, jagged dorsal spines that were residing above the water's surface. "Godzilla!" She called out rather loudly. Almost immediately in response to her call, the Monster King surfaced out of the water. The upper part of his body was now above the surface of the water while the rest, including his tail, was submerged. He quickly spotted Twilight Sparkle hovering in mid-air, not too far away from him. "Godzilla..." She said softly with gentle smile while looking at him. "I would like you to come to Ponyville again. There's a surprise for you, and I think you're gonna like it." Godzilla raised an eyebrow, not quite sure about the 'surprise' part, but nevertheless, he trusted this pony - in fact, he trusted most of the ponies in Equestria. They had been very welcoming and friendly towards him, which was a complete opposite to the way humans would treat him. The Monster King gave her a quick nod as a response. "Wonderful! Follow me!" Twilight said before flying off, with Godzilla emerging from the water and beginning to follow her close behind. ... After hearing the instructions for Godzilla's party, almost everyone in Ponyville quickly agreed, and were even anxious to see the Monster King again. After seeing and hearing how he (and his fellow friends) had saved them from Destoroyah and defeated the monster later on, they were more than happy to call Godzilla and his ally kaiju friends. If love had no bounds, then the same can also be said for friendship. "Everything's perfect." Pinkie Pie stated with a huge grin on her face as she examined Ponyville. Everypony soon sensed their guest of honor approaching via the loud vibrations through the ground. They quickly turned north, and sure enough, spotted the Princess of Friendship leading the Monster King to Ponyville. Godzilla quickly stopped in his tracks once he came close enough. Twilight then turned to him and pointed down at Ponyville. "Godzilla, this party is for you! The guest of honor!" Twilight declared happily with a big smile. Godzilla looked at Twilight for a moment before turning to the town; he couldn't believe his eyes: these ponies, they... they actually made a party in celebration for him? He had witnessed parties in his home-world by humans, but he had never thought of the idea of a party... for him. He saw all the pony mares and stallions gazing up at him with friendly smiles instead of horrified looks. He looked around, seeing balloons of different colors everywhere and even a small figure that was shaped exactly like he was - with arms, legs, head, tail and dorsal spines - sitting on a large table. Granted, the statue was made from gems, but still, it was a welcoming sight to him. All the residents of Ponyville were present for this party: Mayor Mare, Bon Bon (Sweetie Drops), Lyra, Octavia, Derpy, Dr. Hooves, Daisy, Cheerilee, Bulk Biceps, Lotus, Aloe and many more. One thing that was different from before, was that Godzilla also noticed a large stage at the heart of Ponyville, where a unicorn with shades that went by the name Vinyl (also known as DJ Pon-3) had prepared her turntables and had already begun the music, catching Godzilla by surprise. The music was loud but very enjoyable, and after it started, an earth pony mare walked up the stage. She was Applejack's childhood friend and her name was Coloratura, but she was often called 'Rara' by her closest friend. Coloratura looked up at the towering Monster King (who was now gazing at her) with a gentle smile. "This song goes to our newest friend and hero: Godzilla!" She declared, the rest of the ponies cheered happily and stomped their hooves on the ground like before! Even if Godzilla could speak, he would not know what to say about this. In his world, the humans would run away from him screaming 'Godzilla!' in terror, but here - here, the ponies actually exclaimed Godzilla's name with joy and happiness rather than fear. With a warm voice that could melt ice, Coloratura began her song. "They see, what they want to But they know, nothing about you~ We feel who you truly are, A hero deep down~! They say, you're a monster But they know nothing about one! We feel what's inside of you, The goodness that lies beneath, The soul of a hero~! No matter what they say! No matter what they do! You'll always be a hero! Here in Equestria~! No matter how they try! No matter what they use! You'll always win! For the greater good~! We know you're a hero, We feel the power inside you! They know nothing about you, They lose every time! Our friendship will never be broken Our bond will always stay here! We will, stand together! We will, win together! Win together~! Win together~! No matter what they say! No matter what they do! You'll always be a hero! Here in Equestria~! No matter how they try! No matter what they use! You'll always win! For the greater good~!" After the song finished the ponies began 'clapping' by stamping their hooves on the ground and cheering wildly! Even Godzilla had to admit this song from this pony was very enjoyable to hear, and actually touched his heart. To show his approval, the Monster King raised his head and let loose a loud roar! *SKREEEEEEEEEEOOOOONGK!* By now, the ponies had gotten used to Godzilla's roar. No longer flattening their ears, and some were even enjoying it. Twilight smiled happily, glad to see that her newest friend was getting along so well and so fast. ... The Crystal Empire The Crystal Empire was the kingdom that resided farther north of Equestria and the home of the crystal ponies. This Kingdom is currently being ruled by Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor. Recently, Princess Cadance gave birth to an alicorn baby who was given the name 'Flurry Heart' and would one day become the next air to the throne of the Crystal Empire. ... Inside the castle, Shining Armor had put Flurry Heart to sleep. After his daughter fell asleep, Shining quietly exited her room and went outside the balcony to meet up with his wife, who was overlooking her city below. "Is Flurry Heart asleep?" Cadance asked, turning to her husband as he walked up to her. "Like a kitten." Shining responded with a smile, to which Cadance smiled back. "It was past her nap time, anyway." She giggled. But Shining's smile soon disappeared and got replaced by a worried look. "Say, I've been meaning to ask you something: You have heard of the giant creatures appearing in Equestria recently, right?" Cadance turned to him and gave the prince a confused look. "Yes, the first one I think was called 'Godzilla'. He appeared in Ponyville and saved not only Twilight, but also Spike and their friends from a monster called 'Destoroyah'." Princess Cadance said, explaining the news she - and the entire Crystal Empire - had received about the latest event in Ponyville involving the kaiju. "Well..." He began, his voice slowly becoming more and more uneasy. "I was wondering, can we be sure that these creatures are friendly?" Shining was still unsure about the kaiju's presence and motivations. While Shining Armor knew not to be deceived by one's physical appearance, like how he once believed Thorax to be an enemy, he still found it a little hard to get over the kaiju, especially after hearing the power they possessed. "What do you mean?" A confused Cadance asked. "If Godzilla saved Twilight, Spike and everypony else, then he's a friend of the Crystal Empire and a friend of mine - and yours." "I know, but still..." Shining tried to argue, but couldn't find the right words. "It's okay." Cadance said, putting a hoof on his shoulder and him giving a reassuring smile. "You'll get used to them." "Thanks, dear." Shining replied with a smile of his own. But this touching moment was soon-to-be-broken - when something suddenly caught Shining Armor's attention... something in the sky. "Hey, what's that?" He suddenly asked, turning and pointing his hoof in the sky. Cadance quickly turns to where her husband was pointing at, and notices something as well... but could hardly believe it. They were not alone, either: almost every crystal pony in the empire began seeing the same thing in the sky that appeared to be heading their way - something big. From the distance, it appeared to be a flying mass of gigantic crystals, but that soon changed when the 'object' came closer and closer, allowing the ponies to get a better look at what was coming their way. The crystal ponies gasp when they see that there was actually a creature that seemed to be embedded in the mass of crystals. The creature was not only getting closer to the Crystal Empire, but it was also getting closer to the ground as it began to descend down. ... Once the creature finally reached the ground, an incredible transformation happened: in a few flashes of light, the crystal mass shrunk down and disappeared almost completely (as if it had never existed), before a brand new form landed on the ground with it's two feet. The ponies - including Princess Cadance and Shining Armor - couldn't believe what had just happened before their very eyes. The gigantic creature had just landed on the ground and was now standing just outside of the Crystal Empire borders. In terms of physical appearance, this creature looked very similar to Godzilla, but it also had many differences to distinguish it from the true King of the Monsters: Most of it's body was covered in navy-blue scales, with the exception of the chest and abdomen, which were covered in reddish-purple. It was also considerably taller and much bulkier than the Monster King, with much thinner and shorter arms that seemed of little use in an up-close fight. It's tail was extremely long - far longer than Godzilla's - and ended with pointed crystal-like spikes. The crystals from it's previous Flying From did not all disappear, as it also possessed two large crystals erupting from it's shoulders, and on it's back resided many maple leaf-shaped dorsal spines. Finally, the creature had a trans-orange crest on it's forehead. This creature was the extraterrestrial clone of the Monster King, and his name: is SpaceGodzilla! The silence from the awe and shock was broken when SpaceGodzilla let out his own roar... *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRNT!* The space monster's roar was extremely different from his terrestrial counterpart's and less loud, but it was enough to send shivers down the spines of most of the crystal residents. After finishing his roar, SpaceGodzilla turned and proceeded to walk forward - towards the Crystal Empire. Crystal ponies began screaming in terror as they began fleeing the area where SpaceGodzilla had set foot, as fast as they could. Those who were a safe distance away from the space kaiju simply watched in awe as the gigantic SpaceGodzilla walked pass them without looking at them. As SpaceGodzilla continued walking forward, he had indeed noticed the crystal ponies below him, but had no concern or care for them, and was indifferent about the destruction he was causing, the crystal houses he was crushing, the crystal ponies that were fleeing from him in terror. What intrigued the space monster the most was not that face that this entire kingdom was made of crystals, but the fact that he was unable to control them or manipulate them in any way. SpaceGodzilla had sensed a great deal of energy emitting from a certain crystal - which he quickly spotted residing below the gigantic crystal castle, of where Princess Cadence and Shining Armor were also residing in. It was the Crystal Heart! "What is he?" Shining Armor asked in astonishment as he gazed at the extraterrestrial creature from the balcony. "He could be one of the gigantic creatures that we were talking about." Cadance suggested. She had the unmistakable look of fear and worry on her face. "And if so, I hope he's friendly." But the Princess of Love's hope was quickly proven wrong, when SpaceGodzilla preformed his next move: he extended his right arm and pointed the palm of his hand to where the Crystal Heart was residing. The Crystal Heart suddenly began to shake uncontrollably (while still spinning)... before it suddenly shot out of it's rightful place with blinding speed - and into SpaceGodzilla's waiting hand, which closed immediately after the heart entered it! "The Crystal Heart!" Cadance exclaimed loudly. The crystal ponies gasped in shock and horror as to what the space monster had just done. After using his telekinetic abilities to bring the Crystal Heart to him, SpaceGodzilla opened his four-clawed hand to look the Crystal Heart laying in the palm of it. He then closed his hand and began to transfer some of his cosmic energy into the heart. This was vary visible, as blue-colored electricity began to form and surround his closed hand. "What is he doing?!" A furious Shining Armor demanded. After finishing the transfer, SpaceGodzilla opened his hand and used his telekinetic powers to levitate the Crystal Heart - which was now surging with visible electricity - back to it's rightful place. Once the Crystal Heart was returned, it began spinning much faster than normal, and also began transferring energy through the entire crystal castle (as well as the Crystal Empire itself), which in turn would be absorbed by SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals, providing the space monster with sustenance and power. "What did he do?" Cadance asked with worry and concern. Now that he had an energy source to replenish his power, SpaceGodzilla turned his attention to the crystal ponies. What to do with them? Summoning even more power, SpaceGodzilla lifted both of his claws in the air, and in response, all of the crystal ponies - every single one of them - began to suddenly levitate off the ground and float up into the sky like balloons. All except for Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart and some of their Royal Guards. The royal family could only watch in shock as their panicked and screaming crystal pony subjects were now suspended and hovering in the sky above the Crystal Empire. SpaceGodzilla decided to keep them there until he could decide on what do with them - there's 'work' to be done first. The two crystals on his shoulders began to light up, and just like before, in response to SpaceGodzilla's action - gigantic crystals, shaped like spikes, began erupting from the ground below, destroying many crystal houses in the process! Both Shining Armor and Princess Cadance had no words to describe this, they could not believe their eyes, both at the powers this creature possessed and his actions. But whatever this creature had planned for them, both Cadance and Shining knew that it was definitely not with good intentions. "We have to stop him!" Princess Cadance declared. "Right! I'll get the Guards!" Shining Armor said before running off. After he left, Cadance turned her attention back to SpaceGodzilla, hoping that this nightmare will end soon. ... Ponyville Back in Ponyville, the party was still going on. Godzilla stood in his place near Ponyville, not wanting to cause any kind of destruction to his newfound friends. Godzilla had never felt this happy in a long time. Aside from the kaiju from his world, he had never attacked, nor was attacked, by any of the inhabitants of Equestria. The Monster King was standing still while several pegasus ponies were flying over his head and forming a giant Panama hat made of clouds on top of it. Normally, Godzilla would have been bothered by small, flying things flying around him due to his past experiences with Jet Fighters and Stealth Bombers, but after experiencing the kindness and compassion these ponies had shown him, he was truly a gentle giant. "I must say, he looks fabulous with that hat." Rarity commented, gazing up at Godzilla with widened, starry eyes that were filled with awe. Twilight and her friends had explained to him all about Equestria, it's inhabitants and how things work. The Monster King had been seen a lot of things over the course of his long life; such as a monster composed of acidic and toxic sludge, a hybrid between a plant and his species that was spawned from his cells, a robotic version of himself, a cybernetic monster from outer space, a subterranean bug-like monster and many more. So most of the creatures in Equestria were nothing unusual to him, but hearing that the Sun and Moon of this world were controlled by the two alicorn sisters that he had met before and befriended, was what really caught his attention. Godzilla already guessed that they were the rulers of this race, but he could never have imagined that they also controlled the Sun and Moon in order to maintain balance for their kingdom and their subjects. He was told that an ordinary pony mare can become an alicorn, regardless of what type she may be, if she fulfills a very important, royalty-worthy deed. Indeed, this was quite different from how his world worked. He was also filled in on how Princess Luna once became corrupted with jealousy and bitterness towards her elder sister, and became Nightmare Moon. Thus, her elder sister was forced to use the Elements of Harmony to imprison her in the Moon. A thousand years later, Nightmare Moon would return, only to be defeated by Twilight and her friends with the power of the Elements of Harmony. This reminded him of how Mothra came into conflict with her dark counterpart, Battra, due to their different opinions and views on humanity. Mothra saw the goodness within them, while Battra saw them as a threat that must be destroyed in order for the Earth to survive. He was also explained on how they had defeated many of Equestria's past threats, such as the Storm King, Tirek, Chrysalis, King Sombra and many more. The Monster King was truly impressed by these ponies; small and defenseless they may seem, they were actually quite formidable in combat should one threaten their friends, family and/or kingdoms. Yet, despite all that, they were still very welcoming to strangers, no matter what those said strangers were, and were also very forgiving towards those who had wronged them. "Godzilla sure seems to be having a good time." Starlight commented with a smile as she gazes up at the Monster King, who was standing still while his hat was almost finished. "Yeah, judging from what the Elias told us, it looks like he's never had this amount of fun in while." Twilight replied with a sweet smile of her own. "That's a big friend you've got there, Pinkie." Mr. Cake said, walking up to the pink earth pony. "It would cost us a fortune to get enough ingredients to make a cake big enough for him." Mrs. Cake added. "Don't you worry, I'm sure we'll figure something out." Pinkie assured them with quick a wink. "For now..." she began while pulling out her Party Canon."It's party time!" she exclaimed before firing her Part Canon. Twilight sighed with a smile and shook her head at Pinkie's ability to almost always stay positive. "Typical, Pinkie." But the emotion of happiness and joy that Godzilla was having is soon shattered like glass, by a very negative feeling that ran up to him, as if a Jet Fighter had just flown and crashed into his face. Instinctively, Godzilla turned farther north, indicating that is where source of this sudden negativity came from. Godzilla was never one to ignore his instincts. With a low growl, the Monster King suddenly turned and proceeded to head to that specific direction, his cloud-hat dissipated as soon as he left. "Where's he going?" A confused Rainbow Dash asked as she turned to Godzilla, being one of the first ponies to notice this. The ponies quickly stopped their party and looked on as their guest of honor - for no apparent reason - began leaving the party that was made for him. At the same time, Spike suddenly belched out a letter. Using her telekinetic magic, Twilight lifted the latter and began reading it. After several seconds of reading, The Princess of Friendship's face was consumed with shock, dread, fear and horror, something which everypony noticed right away. "What is it, Twilight?" Rainbow asked eagerly. Twilight barely found the strength to speak after reading the letter. "T-The Crystal Empire is under attack!" She exclaimed loudly. "What!?" All of the ponies that were around them exclaimed at once as a union! "By what?" A-now-very-concerned Applejack asked. "I don't know. But whatever it is, we need to stop it!" Twilight declared firmly, and it was at that moment that she also realized Godzilla's motivation for leaving the party. "And I bet that's where Godzilla is heading. He probably sensed that the Crystal Empire is in danger!" "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go help him!" Rainbow Dash declared with a confident smile. "Right!" Starlight exclaimed. "But we gotta hurry!" With no time to waste, the Mane Six, Starlight Glimmer and Spike raced to reach the Friendship Express train in time! ... Thankfully, they were just in time and were able to reach the train before it began heading for their destination. Once everypony was inside, Twilight couldn't help but think - think about the possibility of her brother, her sister-in-law or even her niece being put in great danger. If something, anything, happens to them, she wouldn't know what to do. Her student, Starlight Glimmer, noticed this and gently placed a hoof on her shoulder. Twilight turned to see a reassuring and hopeful smile on Starlight's face. "Don't worry, Twilight. It's gonna be okay, we're gonna save them." She stated reassuringly, and Twilight't couldn't help but smile back. "Thank you, Starlight. I hope Cadance, my brother and Flurry are alright." Twilight said worriedly. ... The Crystal Empire The Crystal Empire was now quite different from how it usually looked, due to the gigantic crystals that had sprouted from the ground like trees! These crystals were of course created by the Crystal Empire's most recent threat! Many brave Pegasus Royal Guards flew at the gigantic SpaceGodzilla, despite the differences in size and power. They were, of course, completely outclassed by the Monster King's clone's immense power and found themselves pushed back and blown away by SpaceGodzilla's telekinetic powers! While they were obviously no match for the space monster, SpaceGodzilla did find it amusing at their futile attempts to stop him. "It's no use, he's too powerful!" Shining Armor exclaimed angrily. "Then I'll go!" Cadance suddenly stated firmly as she spread her wings. She was unwilling to watch the horror play out any longer and was ready to take manners in her own hooves! Seeing how this creature had attacked her kingdom and her subjects, greatly angered the Princess of Love. As a princess, it was her duty to protect the Crystal Empire from all threats. "Honey, you can't-" Shining Armor tried to object but was cut off by his wife. "I know, but I can't let our kingdom suffer any more!" She angrily declared before taking off with a flap of her wings, not giving Shining Armor time to reply back. ... She flew straight at SpaceGodzilla with incredible speed and fired powerful, blue-colored beams of magic from her horn! The beams struck SpaceGodzilla directly in the face! As a Princess, Cadance possessed powerful magic and would have been very effective against a creature from Equestria such as a Tatzlwurm. But against an incredibly powerful creature that was also the double of the King of the Monsters himself - it had very little to no effect. SpaceGodzilla did indeed feel her attack and was mildly impressed by this pony's power - mildly. "Darn it!" Cadance cursed as she stopped and hovered in mid-air. "My magic has no effect on him!" SpaceGodzilla let's out a light, sadistic growl before using his telekinetic powers on Cadance. "What?" Cadance exclaimed when she suddenly found herself frozen in place and unable to move - in fact, she wasn't even moving her wings, yet she was still suspended in mid-air. "What kind of a creature is he?" She couldn't help but ask herself in a mix of both shock and anger. With his telekinetic powers, SpaceGodzilla brought Cadence closer to him - closer to his face. Cadance was eventually brought near the space monster's snout, where her purple eyes made contact with his menacing orange ones. But despite the situation she was in, Cadance was still determined to stop SpaceGodzilla somehow! "You won't get away with this!" She angrily declared. The space monster raised an eyebrow, a bit puzzled on what she meant by that. If it was about taking over her kingdom, then she's a little late on that. "Let go of my sister-in-law!" A very angry, feminine voice suddenly cried out, causing SpaceGodzilla to turn his head around and search for the source. Scanning down on the ground, he immediately noticed seven ponies and a small purple dragon. Like the one he currently had in his telekinetic grip, one of them also possessed wings and a horn - and was looking very angry at him. The Mane Six, Spike and Starlight Glimmer gasped once they got a good look at SpaceGodzilla. "He looks like...Godzilla..." Starlight was the first to speak, understandably shocked and puzzled at SpaceGodzilla's appearance. "Except for those two big crystals, blue scales and a couple of other things." Rainbow Dash added, looking at he's shoulder crystals. "And for being a meanie!" Pinkie added. "Look up there!" Spike exclaimed while pointing a claw in the sky. Looking up, the heroines gasped in horror at the sight of all the Crystal Empire's residents hovering in the sky, above their homes with no apparent explanation. But Twilight was more concerned with the safety of her sister-in-law to notice them. "Like I said before: Let. Go. Of. My sister-in-law!" Twilight repeated herself angrily, glaring at the space monster. SpaceGodzilla had to admit, this pony was certainly a very brave individual to demand him like that. But as brave as she may be, she was still beneath him. Almost as if attempting to provoke her, SpaceGodzilla used his telekinetic powers to throw Cadance away uncaringly, as if she was a small stone! "Cadance!" Both Shining Armor and Twilight exclaimed at once. Luckily though, Cadance was able to stop herself thanks to several strong flaps from her wings, and was back in the air before anyone could exclaim more. After breathing a sigh of relief, Twilight turned her angry glare at SpaceGodzilla, who was still completely unfazed by it. After witnessing what SpaceGodzilla had just done to her sister-in-law, Twilight felt anger - a lot of anger running up to her. "How dare you?!" Twilight couldn't hold it any longer. In a blind rage, the Princess of Friendship shot from the ground like a missile! "Twilight, wait!" Starlight tried to call out in order to calm her down, but she was already too late. ... "This is for Cadance!" Twilight exclaimed as she raced for the space monster, and while doing so - she fired a very powerful, purple beam of magic from her horn! When her beam struck the Monster King's double in the chest, SpaceGodzilla let out a deep growl. This attack was actually more powerful than Cadence's, but still not enough to be a significant threat to him. Twilight quickly changed course once she came too close to SpaceGodzilla. The space monster's eyes followed the young princess as she changed course again and flew straight for him, readying another spell as she did so. But she would not get the chance to fire it - with a single swing from SpaceGodzilla's arm, Twilight felt an invisible force suddenly smack her out of the air and send her crashing in one of the gigantic crystals! The immense force of the impact was so great that it caused Twilight to lose consciousness upon impact, and because she was now unconscious, Twilight began plummeting to the ground. However, a blue aura suddenly surrounded and stopped her right before she could reach the ground. It then levitated her gently; the source of this was none other than Twilight's sister-in-law. "Twilight?" Cadance asked worriedly as she gently placed the unconscious Twilight on the ground. Twilight's friends soon came running to witness this. They gasped in horror upon seeing their unconscious friend on ground. "Is she..." Spike asked with dread, fearing the worst. "She's okay, but hurt." Cadance confirmed while gently placing a hoof on Twilight's forehead. Another purple-colored beam suddenly shot out of nowhere, striking SpaceGodzilla very close to his left eye. The space monster let out a roar of irritation and annoyance! This one actually got SpaceGodzilla a little angry, likely due to being caught off guard by the attack! Tuning his head around and looking down, the space kaiju spotted Shining Armor, with his horn lightened up with magic. "Get your claws off my sister and wife!" Shining Armor exclaimed angrily. This monster had already harmed both his sister and wife, not to mention his kingdom and subjects, and he will not stand for it! SpaceGodzilla was now very annoyed; so far, these ponies have been mostly amusing in their attempts to stop him. But now they had gotten on his nerves. And just to show them who they were dealing with, SpaceGodzilla gathered his energy and opened his toothy mouth, ready to unleash his primary weapon on the Prince of the Crystal Empire. A primary weapon was fired, alright... but not from him. A blue beam shot past SpaceGodzilla - narrowly missing him - and hits one of the gigantic crystals he created. Upon impact, the crystal immediately exploded and shattered to pieces! Shocking everyone - including SpaceGodzilla! Ceasing his prepared attack, the surprised SpaceGodzilla turned to his right, where - to his greater surprise - saw... "Godzilla!" Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer and Spike exclaimed at once. "That's Godzilla?" Cadance asked in surprise, she briefly turned to SpaceGodzilla before looking back at Godzilla, noticing the physical similarities between the two kaiju. The true Monster King had just arrived to the scene. He was currently standing within the Crystal Empire borders, close to the edge. He quickly began scanning the area around him, mostly looking down for any of his pony friends. Then, his golden eyes widen in shock when he saw Starlight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Spike, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, a pony he didn't recognize... and an unconscious Twilight laying on the ground. The state of shock was quickly replaced by anger. Clenching his sharp teeth, Godzilla turned to his extraterrestrial double, knowing full-well that he was the one who placed his pony friend in her current state. With such anger and frustration, Godzilla let out a roar more powerful then ever before! *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNGK!* His roar was so powerful that it actually shattered every single glass in the entire Crystal Empire! Even the ponies who were suspended from above had to flatten their ears! Even SpaceGodzilla was taken back by this. But that did not mean that he's going to retreat in any way! SpaceGodzilla let loose his own roar to signal that he accepts Godzilla's 'invitation'. *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRNT!* This time Godzilla responded by firing two rounds of his Atomic Breath and striking the space monster in the chest! SpaceGodzilla cried out in pain from the attacks, his hide was actually less durable than his 'brother's'. Godzilla fired his primary weapon again! But this time, before his Atomic Breath could connect with the space monster a third time, a transparent, crystal-like shield suddenly appeared in front of SpaceGodzilla. Upon contact, the Photon Shield not only protected it's master from Godzilla's primary weapon but it also caused The Monster King's Heat Ray to wash harmlessly across it's form, spreading out of its sides and going in directions Godzilla never intended. Those who witnessed this simply gazed at it in shock and astonishment. "How can he do that?" Rainbow Dash asked in astonishment at SpaceGodzilla's unexpected ability. "Who knows what that monster can do." Applejack added. A low groan caught everypony's attention. Turning to Twilight, they see the young princess' eyes slowly open. At that moment, joy and relief filled all those who were around her. "Twilight!" Spike exclaimed happily. "W-What happened?" Twilight asked, putting a hoof on her head. "Well..." Pinkie began "After you somehow got knocked into those big, pointy crystals and passed out, you're big brother attacked Crystal G, but it didn't work. Then Crystal G was going to attack you're brother, but then Big G himself arrived. When Big G saw you hurt, he got really angry and the two are now fighting!" She finished with a grin. Hearing the parts about 'Big G' got Twilight's full attention. "Godzilla's here?" Twilight asked in surprise. Before any of her friends could say anything, her question was answered by the Monster King's famous roar. Turning to the source, she instantly spotted Godzilla in the distance, charging on foot towards his alien double. As he was charging, SpaceGodzilla's shot his own primary weapon in the form of an orange-colored Corona Beam! Unlike Godzilla's Atomic Breath - which goes in a straight line - the Corona Beam twisted and turned before finally making contact with it's chosen target - which was Godzilla's neck. The beam was also quite powerful, roughly equal to Godzilla's own primary weapon, as the Monster King stopped in his tracks and roared out in pain! SpaceGodzilla fired his primary weapon again and again, striking Godzilla in the chest, dorsal spines and shoulders! During the assault, Godzilla loses his balance and falls down, crushing several crystal houses in the process. "Big G's down!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "He needs our help!" Twilight declared firmly as she got up and was ready to take action. But was then stopped when the Elias' voices were heard in Twilight's head and everypony that's around her. "Twilight Sparkle, we are sensing a very powerful and very sinister energy emitting from you're world." "What was that?" A startled Cadance asked, having never heard of the Elias before. "It's alright, it's just the Elias." Starlight assured her with a small smile. "Elias, there's creature that looks very similar to Godzilla and attacked the Crystal Empire. Do you know what or who he is?" Twilight asked in desperation. "If the creature you speak of has crystals in his body then we know who he is - he is an abomination, a horrible mockery of Godzilla himself, and his heart could not be more different than Godzilla's. He's name is 'SpaceGodzilla'." "SpaceGodzilla? Is he like an alien version of Big G?" Pinkie asked curiously. "It is... complicated. But we can tell you that, like Biollante, SpaceGodzilla is creature that was spawned from Godzilla himself." "How do we defeat him, then?" Starlight asked eagerly. "Has he done something... unusual when he first arrived? Perhaps doing something with an object of sort?" This immediately caught Cadance's attention. Realizing what he had done to the Crystal Heart when he arrived in her kingdom. "Why yes, he did do something to the Crystal Heart. I'm not sure what, though." Cadance confirmed. This earned her the attention of the ponies around her. "The Crystal Heart?" Twilight asked in surprise, beginning to worry even more. "Then...you must destroy it." "What?!" They all exclaimed in shock. "SpaceGodzilla has no doubt transferred some of his power into your Crystal Heart, and is using it as a source of power. So long the Crystal Heart remains, he will never lose power. You must destroy it in order to weaken him." This news was very hard to take in; the Crystal Heart was here for many generations and has protected the Crystal Empire from threats. After Flurry accidentally shattered it, they were able to restore it thanks to the Crystalling with the magic of the Crystal Ponies and Flurry's own. Now here they are being told that the Crystal Heart had been corrupted and must be destroyed. "We can't do that!" Twilight exclaimed. "If the Crystal Heart is destroyed then an eternal storm will come and the Crystal Empire will be lost!" She argued, hoping for an alternate solution to this problem. After a few moments of silence, the Elias respond... "Then perhaps you could nullify SpaceGodzilla's power. If you use you're combined magic on the Crystal Heart, perhaps you could nullify it and SpaceGodzilla's power over it will disappear." To Twilight and her friends, it was no question. This was currently their best (and only) option. "It's a chance we have to take!" She declared firmly before turning to her friends. "Come on, everypony!" With that she and everypony else raced to the Crystal Heart's location as fast as possible! Due to his very short arms, SpaceGodzilla would prefer to battle his opponents from a distance as he viciously fired his Corona Beam at his downed terrestrial counterpart! Thanks to the beam's malleable nature, it was able to strike specific areas of an opponent's body that an attack like the Atomic Breath would not be able to reach. The beam twisted and turned, striking relentlessly as the Monster King continued to roar in pain. SpaceGodzilla finally ceased his primary weapon. But then he began to release bolts of green-colored energy from his shoulder crystals, at Godzilla. These unusual energy waves did not harm Godzilla in the slightest - but they weren't suppose to. Godzilla suddenly began to levitate off the ground! SpaceGodzilla growled in sadistic pleasure before using his Telekinesis to send the Monster King flying and crashing into a very large crystal with extreme force! The crystal quickly shattered like glass when Godzilla's body crashed into it. But Godzilla was not even close to defeat! Quickly getting up, The King of the Monsters fired his Atomic Breath at SpaceGodzilla's chest, earning a loud roar of pain from him. As Godzilla got up for another round, SpaceGodzilla decided to try a new tactic: curling his long tail, SpaceGodzilla levitated off the ground. But he was not the only thing that started to leave the ground - some of the sharp-pointed crystals he created began to shoot themselves upwards like rockets! Godzilla, not willing to give him the chance to show his next trick, began charging forward. SpaceGodzilla countered with a few blasts from his Corona Beam, causing Godzilla to halt and roar! SpaceGodzilla then proceeded to circle Godzilla while firing more blasts of Corona Beam at him. Finally, after enough blasts, SpaceGodzilla flew back down and landed on the ground further away from his terrestrial counterpart. Seizing his chance, Godzilla fired his Heat Ray... only to be blocked and deflected by SpaceGodzilla's Photon Shield, much to Godzilla's frustration. Twilight, Starlight, Princess Cadance and the rest had finally reached the Crystal Heart, which was spinning like crazy when they saw it, and surging with visible electricity. "What did that monster do?" Twilight growled at the sight of the Crystal Heart's unstable state. "Let's do this fast, I don't know how much Godzilla can take it." Starlight stated worriedly while gazing back at the battle. "Right." Cadance agreed. With that, the three ponies surrounded the unstable Crystal Heart and respectively fired the magic from their horns at once, all striking the Crystal Heart. They began using the love and magic within themselves to try and nullify the energy that was within the Crystal Heart. They concentrated very hard, exerting all the energy and effort they had within. It lasted for at least twenty seconds, until Cadance gave out, at which point, Twilight and Starlight followed her. "Ugh, this energy is more powerful than I thought." Cadance stated, breathing heavily and sweating. "We're gonna need some help to pull this off." Starlight stated, also breathing heavily. "Maybe I can help." Everypony quickly turned to the source of the nearby voice. "Brother!" Twilight exclaimed happily with a huge grin at the sight of her older brother who approached them. "What do you need me to do?" He asked, his voice turning more serious. "SpaceGodzilla transferred some kind of energy into the Crystal Heart and is using it as a power source." Cadance explained. "We need to nullify the energy and sever his power source." "Say no more, I got you're back." Shining said with a smile. "Thanks, sweetie." Cadance smiled back. SpaceGodzilla roared at his terrestrial counterpart, who was, again, charging towards him. But Godzilla suddenly stopped in his tracks and sensed that something was not right, his senses told him that the danger was coming... from above. Turning his attention to the sky above, Godzilla's eyes widened in surprise when he was met with a rain of giant, pointed crystals! Godzilla had wondered what happened to the crystals that were launched into the sky, and now he gets his painful answer. The crystals rained down on the Monster King, with their sharp points directed at him. Not all the crystals were successful as some completely missed their target, but those that were successful caused incredible pain to Godzilla, even if they broke on contact with his thick hide. Shining Armor took his place and aimed his horn for the unstably-spinning Crystal Heart. With no more time to waste, he, along with this wife, his sister and Starlight fired their beams of magic at the Crystal Heart! The others watched in anticipation as the four tried their very best to disperse SpaceGodzilla's energy with the power of their love and magic! Godzilla's dorsal plates lightened up just before he fired his Heat Ray at the space monster, but was once again blocked by the Photon Shield that SpaceGodzilla created. After Godzilla (unsuccessfully) finished his attack, SpaceGodzilla's shield dissipated, after which point the extraterrestrial clone of Godzilla fired his primary weapon and struck the Monster King in the chest and neck! Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadance and Starlight Glimmer were now at the limits of their strength, and very exhausted and tired but still continued with the process. Finally, the Crystal Heart began to spark with red-colored electricity as it's spinning speed began to increase! "It's working!" Spike exclaimed. "Come on, Twilight, you can do it!" Rainbow Dash cheered her on. The four ponies were sweating heavily and clenching their teeth. The red electricity began to spark more and more just as the speed of the Crystal Heart continued increasing. Starlight really wanted to stop but knew she couldn't as this was the point of no return. After ten more seconds, the Crystal Heart finally did something different - it released an incredibly powerful energy that surged outwards - similar to Godzilla's Nuclear Pulse - blowing Shining Armor, Cadance, Twilight and Starlight backwards in the process! The ponies gasped and quickly ran to their fallen friends. Fluttershy and Rarity help Cadance up while Applejack and Rainbow assisted Shining Armor, Pinkie Pie helped Starlight and Spike helped Twilight. "Twilight, are you okay?" Spike asked. "Yeah." Twilight confirmed as she stood up. "What about the Crystal Heart?" Everypony turned to the where the Crystal Heart was at, and much to their pleasant surprise and relief, saw the Crystal Heart in it's normal state again: spinning normally with no sign of electricity, indicating that SpaceGodzilla's energy had been successfully nullified! "You did it!" Pinkie Pie squealed happily as she cheered loudly. "It would have been a shame if such a beautiful thing was destroyed." Rarity added. "I just hope this worked, though." Princess Cadance muttered. She had no idea how correct she was. With the cosmic energy now gone from the Crystal Heart, the energy that surged through the crystal castle and into SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals has been severed. *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERNT!* SpaceGodzilla roared in shock and surprise, feeling his power and energy suddenly dropping down at a very fast rate! He couldn't understand how this could be happening - then it hit him. Turning to where the Crystal Heart was at, he noticed the ponies and young dragon standing there, and could also sense the energy he implanted in the Crystal Heart was now completely gone! Rage began to build up in him; how dare these creatures cut-off his energy source? The enraged SpaceGodzilla now began heading towards them on foot. Rainbow Dash was the first to spot the approaching space behemoth. "Guys, I don't think he likes what we did." A fearful Rainbow Dash said while pointing a hoof at the approaching SpaceGodzilla. Everypony gasped in surprise, the four most powerful magic-users were completely drained and even if they weren't, it is highly unlikely that they would have been able to stop SpaceGodzilla, even in his-now-weakened state! SpaceGodzilla stopped in his tracks and was ready to fire his Corona Beam at them. Unfortunately for him though, he forgot about one 'little' problem; a blue beam composed of radiation struck his back, blowing off some of his crystal-like dorsal spines in the process! SpaceGodzilla cried out in pain and turned back to see his unfinished business standing before him. Godzilla roared at his clone before his dorsal plates and the inside of his mouth lightened up again, and shot his Atomic Breath, striking SpaceGodzilla's unprotected chest and causing him to roar out in pain! Because he could no longer replenish his energy, SpaceGodzilla did not have the strength to create his Photon Shield. "Yeah! Kick his flank, Big G!" Rainbow cheered him on. Now extremely enraged, SpaceGodzilla began charging at his terrestrial counterpart on foot. Once close enough, the space monster turned and lashed out his long tail at Godzilla, attempting to impale the Monster King with the crystal-like spikes located at the end of his tail. But he had apparently forgotten that Godzilla was far better in melee combat, and the Monster King proved it by easily catching the space monster's tail with his hands. With a firm hold on his tail, Godzilla preformed the same technique he did on King Ghidorah: lifting his much heavier clone in the air and slamming him on the ground with incredible force! After finishing this, Godzilla charged up his body, gathering more atomic energy than before! His dorsal plates began to glow a neon-blue color and were also surrounded by blue-colored electricity. The Monster King opened his mouth and fired his Spiral Heat Ray at his extraterrestrial double! Upon contact, the Spiral Heat Ray instantly destroyed both of SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals, most of his dorsal spines and seriously injuring him! SpaceGodzilla screeched in extreme pain, but Godzilla was not finished as he fired his attack again, striking his double in the back and further damaging him! Pinkie Pie was happily waving two small flags in her front hooves (that seemingly appeared out of nowhere) that read 'Go, Big G!'. Godzilla roared at SpaceGodzilla, challenging him for another battle. Seeing how weakened he was and how powerful Godzilla's new attack is, SpaceGodzilla realized the situation he was in and would gladly escape with his life. Slowly getting up on his two feet, SpaceGodzilla summoned all the energy he had left in his body and grew an incredible mass of gigantic crystals from his back that covered almost his entire body. After transforming into his Flying Form, SpaceGodzilla levitated off the ground before he suddenly shot into the sky like a rocket with incredible speed! The ponies and Spike watched as SpaceGodzilla flew higher and higher until he eventually disappeared from their view. With another old foe defeated, Godzilla reared his head and let loose a roar of triumph! *SKRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGK!* Because SpaceGodzilla had left and his power was extremely drained, the gigantic crystals he created slowly dissipated and disappeared entirely. Unfortunately, this also meant that the crystal ponies he had suspended in the air began falling to the ground, screaming! "Oh no!" Cadance exclaimed. But then, the falling crystal ponies - every single one of them of the entire Crystal Empire - suddenly found themselves enveloped in yellow auras, and stopped in mid-air, before being gentle lowered and placed on the ground. No pony, not a single one, was hurt. Twilight, Starlight, Cadance and the rest were, at first, baffled and confused by this, until they realized the source of the power. Looking up, they see... "Flurry?" Twilight gasped. The youngest alicorn Princess, who was hovering in mid-air outside of the castle, had used her unusually powerful magic to safely catch and lower all the residents in the Crystal Empire. Her mother, father and their friends were left speechless at Flurry's incredible display of power! "Flurry Heart's magic is more powerful then expected." Starlight commented. "No kidding." Twilight muttered. "Starlight!" Everypony turned to see Sunburst approaching them. "Hey, Sunburst. How are you?" Starlight smiled happily at her old childhood friend. "I guess I missed the party." He chuckled, scratching the back of his head as the others laughed. "Look up there!" Pinkie pointed up, causing the others to turn to where she was pointing at. To everypony's shock and surprise, Flurry Heart was flying towards Godzilla. Fearing for her daughter's safety, Cadance was ready to go after her, but was stopped by Twilight, who blocked her path with her right wing. "Cadance, it's alright." Twilight said, giving her sister-in-law a reassuring smile. "He's not gonna hurt her." "But-" Cadance tried to argue. Ironically, she now had the same reaction and worry Shining Armor previously had before the arrival of SpaceGodzilla. "Please," Twilight said, still keeping her smile. "Trust me" She then turned to Godzilla while still having her smile "And trust him." Cadance and Shining looked at each other for a moment before looking at their daughter - still unsure. The Monster King eventually spotted the young alicorn Princess, despite her small size. Flurry Heart stopped and hovered right in front of Godzilla's snout, gazing into his brilliant golden eyes. Most young ones would be terrified by such a huge and scare-looking creature, but it wasn't the case with Flurry. She was actually smiling and giggling, even clapping her hooves excitedly. Even Godzilla was amazed; this infant was not scared of him at all and he felt the same positive aura he felt from Twilight, her friends and pretty much everypony in Equestria. Godzilla leaned his head closer, allowing Flurry Heart to touch his snout with her hoof, and after doing so - Flurry actually went and hugged his upper jaw. Both Shining Armor and Princess Cadance watched in amazement - three minutes ago, Godzilla was a fierce creature with unspeakable power! And yet, here he is now being more of a gentle giant than anything else. "See?" Twilight turned to them with a proud smile. "I see, Godzilla really is a hero." Shining Armor said happily. When he first heard of Godzilla and the other kaiju, he was unsure. But now, after seeing how Godzilla had saved his family, friends and kingdom, he was more than happy to call Godzilla a friend. Cadance opened her wings and took flight. She flew close to Godzilla and hovered in mid-air, allowing her subjects to see her. Once all her subjects could see her, she cleared her throat. "As Princess of the Crystal Empire" She began, before turning and pointing a hoof at Godzilla. "I would like to extend my hoof in friendship to our newest friend and hero: Godzilla!" Just like the ponies of Ponyville, the crystal ponies began cheering happily at this, and even Godzilla couldn't help but let out his own cheer in the form of a roar. *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGK!* Like the ponies of Ponyville, the crystal ponies had gotten used to the Monster King's roar. After he finished his roar, Flurry Heart did her own 'roar' which many of the ponies found adorable. ... Mount Aris/Seaquestria In the lands beyond Equestria resides the Kingdom of the hippogriffs, known as Mount Aris. Here, the hippogriffs lived a life of peace and happiness. But because of the threat of the Storm King, Queen Novo had used her magical pearl to transform all of her hippogriff subjects into seaponies and fled into the underwater kingdom, Seaquestria. After the defeated of the Storm King, the seaponies no longer had to hide in fear and some of them were transformed back into hippogriffs where they returned to Mount Aris, although some chose to stay as seaponies and live in the waters of Seaquestria. Queen Novo herself had decided to live most of her life up in Mount Aris as hippogriff, though she would occasionally transform herself into a seapony to visit Seaquestria every once in a while. The seaponies/hippogriffs were still unaware of the existence of the kaiju... but that would soon be changed... ... The Queen of the hippogriffs was currently enjoying a relaxing massage on her back in the spa room located within Mount Aris. "Mmm, this is the life." She purred, smiling. Ever since the defeat of the Storm King, things had gotten a lot better and easier for both herself and her subjects. With the hippogriffs now living both on land, air and underwater, there was nothing that could possibly disturb her relaxation... or at least that was what she thought - and hoped. All of the sudden, hippogriff soldier suddenly slammed open the door, startling Queen Novo, and the spa hippogriff massaging her, in the process, as she nearly fell off the bed! "My queen, we have an emergency!" He exclaimed. "Whatever it is, it can wait." Novo stated angrily, very annoyed for being interrupted from her relaxation, before laying down again and waiting for the spa hippogriff to continue her work. "But my queen, this may be a threat! Because something is heading for Seaquestria and Mount Aris!" He now stated. It's at this very moment that Queen Novo's concern darted away from her relaxation as she got up and stared at the soldier with a-now-worried look! As queen, her number one priority was to ensure the safety of her subjects and kingdom. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" She exclaimed before getting off her bed and running off along with the soldier - but not before throwing the spa hippogriff some bits. "Keep the change." She said before leaving the room. ... Mount Aris itself was almost completely surrounded by deep ocean waters, where the underwater kingdom (Seaquestria) resided in. But today, something was heading (or rather, swimming) towards both Mount Aris and Seaquestria. The mysterious creature was almost completely submerged under the water, the only thing that gave it's presence away was a large, orange-colored, fish-like fin that was slicing through the surface of the water as the creature underneath headed for the kingdom with significant speed! ... Queen Novo, along with several of her soldiers, quickly came out and stood outside her of balcony in Mount Aris. From the height of her tower, she instantly spotted the gigantic fin that was racing for her kingdom. Judging from the size of the fin alone, Novo concluded that this creature must be enormous. "What is that thing?" She asked in both worry and confusion, having never seen a kaiju before - or anything like it, for that matter. "We are not sure, my queen. There is no creature that we know of that could be this big." One soldier answered. This only placed more worry on Queen Novo as she continued watching the mysterious creature coming closer and closer. But suddenly, and unexpectedly, the fin suddenly stoppedin it's tracks - it didn't even reach Seaquestria. Queen Novo and her soldiers now looked understandably confused by this, then became even more confused when the fin suddenly submerged under the water and disappeared completely. "This better not be some kind of a prank Skystar is playing on me!" Queen Novo thought bitterly and threateningly. The last thing she wanted was her daughter interrupting her relaxing message with some kind of a stupid prank. Fortunately, this was not a prank. Unfortunately, the creature that she was about to meet will put her (and her subjects) in a state of shock that she will not forget anytime soon. Finally, bubbles began to form on the surface of the water... right before the surface breaks, and a creature of titanic proportions emerges and lets loose a roar that sounded like a herd of elephants! Queen Novo and her soldiers were not the only ones with now-gaping beaks, widened eyes and shrunken pupils - the roar of the creature caused every single hippogriff in Mount Aris to emerge and come to the scene. As soon as the hippogriffs saw the aquatic kaiju, they gained the same (or similar) expressions on their faces. The creature in particular appeared somewhat similar to a dragon, but with more differences than similarities. Only the upper part of it's body was out of the water while the rest was submerged. The creature appeared to be a biped with a long neck and a somewhat crocodile-like head. Unlike a real crocodile, it had small fin-like ears on the sides of it's head and two antenna on top of it. It possessed large arms with three-clawed hands while also having a large, fish-like fin on it's back (the same one that was above the surface of the water when it was approaching the kingdom earlier) and another on it's long neck. Finally, bright red skin with round black bumps covered most of it's body, while it's belly and chest were a yellow color. The residents of Mount Aris were staring at the Aquatic Dinosaur: Titanosaurus! At this point, the water was shallow enough (given how big Titanosaurus was) for the kaiju to stand on his feet. The aquatic dinosaur did notice Mount Aris - which was roughly the same height as himself - but payed no attention to it, or it's inhabitants, as he had other ideas. The aquatic dinosaur then proceeded to walk towards the nearby beach. "Everygriff, get ready!" Queen Novo ordered as all of her soldiers redyed their spears at the approaching Titanosaurus! Although that was not needed; once the kaiju came close, he simply walked pass Mount Aris without even looking at them, much to Queen Novo's surprise and confusion "Or maybe not?" She whispered to herself. In a short amount of time, the kaiju eventually reached the beach, and was now almost completely out of the water. Queen Novo and her subjects could now see that the creature also had a large, fish-like tail that was no-doubt used for swimming. Titanosaurus suddenly feel on his knees before collapsing completely on the sandy beach, and was now laying on his stomach. Like crocodiles and seals, this deep-sea-dwelling creature needed to get out of the water at some point and bask in the warm sun. At this point, the transformed seaponies made their way to the surface due to sensing and hearing Titanosaurus' heavy footsteps. "What is going on here?" One female seapony sternly asked. "Where did-" she was cut off when her eyes spot the basking aquatic dinosaur that was laying on the beach, not too far away from their kingdom, which of course filled her and everyone else with shock and surprise. "I better to report this to Princess Twilight. She's gotta know what this thing is." Queen Novo said to herself before quickly flying back inside. ... Ponyville Elsewhere, the Cutie Mark Crusaders have gathered together in their clubhouse in their tree. "All right, Ah hereby call this meeting of the Cutie Mark Crusaders to order!" Apple Bloom declared, tapping her hoof against the podium twice, before turning her attention to her two best friends and fellow members. "Recently, there have been giant creatures comin' to Equestria. What do ya'll think about this?" "Their huge!" Sweetie Belle squealed happily. "Especially Mothra, she's beautiful!" A mischievous smile formed on the young unicorn's lips. "I bet my sister would be jealous if I said that in front of her." She chuckled to herself a little. "I'm glad that they're friendly." Scootaloo said more reluctantly, then she remembered their encounter and experience with Destoroyah. "Well, most of them anyway." "And that Godzilla fella, he saved Ponyville from that monster!" Apple Bloom added, thinking back to the battle between the King of the Monsters and Destoroyah. "Twilight said that he's not a dragon, but he sure looks a lot like one." Scootaloo commented. "Ah've been thinkin', what if one of em' would like some help from the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Apple Bloom suggested with an eager grin. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked at each other for a moment then back at Apple Bloom, with uncertain looks. "While we do help a lot of ponies and creatures, I'm not sure that these guys are one of them." Scootaloo stated. "How come?" A confused Apple Bloom asked. "Well, these creatures don't seem like they need any help. Plus, I'm not sure our sisters would appreciate us getting too close to them without their consent." Sweetie Belle added. "I know that." Apple Bloom rolled her eyes before continuing to speak with a smile. "But they've done so much for us, Godzilla and Mothra saved us from that monster! I feel like we owe him something for saving us." Again, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked at each-other, still unsure. All of the sudden, all three fillies were interrupted when they hear a very loud noise coming from outside. The noise itself sounded very different from anything the three fillies have ever heard before, and was far louder as well... except for Godzilla's roar, that is. "What the hay was that?" Apple Bloom asked before going towards the open window to find where that strange noise came from. Her two friends followed her close by. Once Apple Bloom placed her front hooves on the sill and poked her head outside, the young filly was placed in a state of surprise and amazement which was evident by her ears flattening against her head. "What do you see, Apple Bloom?" A curios Scootaloo asked. Slowly, Apple Bloom finally said..."Ya'll might wanna see this." With that Apple Bloom moved to allow her friends to take a look. Soon enough, they were both placed in the same state as Apple Bloom currently was. Not too far away from their tree house, a gigantic creature laid on the ground, unconscious. The creature itself was quadrupedal, but rather small in comparison to the likes of Godzilla or Anguirus. The creature possessed dark red skin, and had an armored carapace of thick overlapping plates upon it's back and tail. On each of it's four feet resided sharp claws and it's mouth was filled with sharp teeth. A few small, orange-colored spikes resided on the top of it's head and it had two large elephant-like ears on the sides of it's head. Finally, the creature had a single large horn protruding from it's forehead. This creature was also known as the 'Subterranean Terror', but his true name is Baragon! "It looks... kind of like a puppy." Sweetie Belle said. While she wasn't quite sure, she did find the creature somewhat cute. "What?" Scootaloo asked in surprise. "No, it doesn't." Unlike her unicorn friend, Scootaloo saw no such thing in it. "Maybe we should check it out." Sweetie Belle suggested as she moved away from the window and began heading toward the door. But was suddenly stopped by Scootaloo who zipped in between her and the door, blocking her way. "No! Let's not check it out!" Scootaloo exclaimed. "Hey girls, Ah think it's waking up." Apple Bloom said, pointing a hoof at the kaiju. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle quickly raced back to the window to see it for themselves. Indeed she was correct - the creature's eyes slowly open, revealing his bright amber eyes, which was followed by a low growl that escaped his toothy mouth. "What do we do?!" A fearful Scootaloo exclaimed out loudly as she began backing away from the window. "Maybe it's friendly?" Sweetie Belle guessed with uncertainty, while also backing away from the window. Slowly, the kaiju began to get up on his four legs, until he stood to his full height. Baragon was not quite as large as the other kaiju that visited Equestria, but was still significantly bigger than most native creatures in Equestria. Apple Bloom simply gazed in awe with her mouth hanging open and her eyes widened, as Baragon, despite his smaller size, towered over their tree. The kaiju let loose a powerful roar - his roar was rather unusual and less loud than Godzilla's or Anguirus', but it was enough to cause nearby birds to flee from the trees. After finishing his roar, the subterranean reptile lifted his head and began sniffing the air before suddenly turning his head toward the direction of the Crusader's tree - specifically, the tree itself. "Uhhh, girls...Ah think he spotted us." Apple Bloom muttered in fear as she gulped and backed away from the window a little. "What?!" Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo exclaimed very loudly at the same time. At this point, Baragon turned and proceeded to head toward the tree of where the Cutie Mark Crusaders were residing in. The ground began shaking from each step he took. "Whatdowedowhatdowedowhatdowedoooooooooo!" Scootaloo babbled hysterically. "I say we go outside and face him!" Sweetie Belle suddenly stated, seemingly fearlessly, before reverting to an understandable state in a situation like this. "That is, if he doesn't try to eat us." "Ah think we should." Apple Bloom suddenly said. "Sometimes ya just gotta take chances. And as Granny Smith once said: No risk, no reward!" She said confidently with a proud smirk. "So who's with me?" Sweetie and Scootaloo look at each-other before turning to Apple Bloom. "If we get eaten, I'm blaming you." Scootaloo warned. ... Slowly, the Cutie Mark Crusaders left their tree house and climbed down to face the subterranean kaiju, who had just arrived and was standing before them. The three fillies gulp as they looked up at the giant creature. Given that this was the first time they had ever seen a kaiju this close, it was only natural that they would be nervous and scared. In response, Baragon bend his forelimbs and lowered his head, and stared at the three tiny fillies that stood only five meters away from his face. "H-Hey there, big guy." Sweetie Belle nervously said with an uncomfortable smile. "What big ears you have?" "Seriously, Sweetie Belle?" Scootaloo turned to her. "Your going with that line from that story?" she asked in annoyance. "Well he does have pretty big ears." Sweetie Belle admitted, pointing up at the kaiju. "Say, do ya have any kind of problem that we can...uhhh...help you with?" Apple Bloom asked nervously and fearfully with a similar grin that Sweetie Belle had. Baragon continued to stare at the three fillies with a calm look, despite his frightening - and somewhat cute - physical appearance. There was no aggression, hunger or hostility in his amber eyes. After staring at three fillies for seven more seconds, Baragon lifted his head up and turned around, before proceeding to leave the Cutie Mark Crusaders and their club-house without looking back. The three fillies breathed a sigh of relief at the pleasant sight of the kaiju walking away from them. "Whew, that was a close one." Scootaloo muttered. "It worked Apple Bloom, he left!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed happily, turning to her friend. "See? What did Ah told ya'?" Apple Bloom asked, acting proudly. "No risk, no reward." ... Meanwhile, much further away, to the southern side of Equestria. The older sister of Pinkie Pie, Maud Pie, was camping in a rocky area where she was collecting different types of rocks for her research. So far, Maud had collected several different types of rocks. This time, Maud had moved further away from her camp than usual, where she found a rock that looked similar to her own pet rock, Boulder. "I think Boulder's gonna like you." Maud said to the small rock before picking it up with her hoof and placing it in her pocket. After she placed the rock in her pocket, the earth pony's mane and tail suddenly began getting blown by some wind from behind, though this did not faze Maud in any way as she calmly turned around to face the wind. Only thing was, the 'wind' that was blowing her tail and mane was no wind at all, it was breathing... from Anguirus! Maud Pie found herself standing right in front of Anguirus' horned snout and looking into his brown eyes. Anguirus had bend his forelimbs down and lowered his head to get a better look at the earth pony, who was literally standing inches away from his snout. Most ponies would have been taken by surprise and would have ran away in terror by such an encounter, but not Maud. She continued looking at Anguirus with her usual blank, neutral expression as if it was nothing new to her. "Hey, what are you?" She asked with her calm and dry tone. Anguirus responded by taking a deep breath... and letting out a very loud roar at Maud Pie! *GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!* Anguirus' roar was so powerful that it could be heard from miles away, and was also blowing Maud's mane and tail back... all while she still had her calm, neutral expression without blinking an eye or moving a muscle. After the ankylosaur finished his roar, Maud's mane and tail returned to normal while her expression did not change whatsoever. "Cool." Maud said with her usual dry tone. Anguirus began to sniff her like a dog would sniff a stranger, and upon doing so, he noticed that Maud had the same scent as another pony he had met in Ponyville - a pink earth pony, to be exact. He surmised that she may be related to that pony in some way - and had no idea how right he was. "You're kind of cute." Maud said, causing the ankylosaur to rise an eyebrow of confusion. > New Friend, New Threat > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It has been well over a week since the defeat of the Monster King's extraterrestrial double. Most of the ponies and other races in Equestria have already accepted the kaiju as friends. Anguirus, being mostly herbivores, lived off of all kinds of plants that grew in Equestria, while Godzilla had a very unique way of feeding; his body was able to convert air and water into a radioactive isotope which provided him with all the energy he needed. Twilight Sparkle informed Queen Novo, and the rest of her kingdom, that Titanosaurus was not dangerous so long as they do not provoke or attack him, and she also explained about the kaiju coming into their world. While relieved that the aquatic dinosaur was not dangerous, Novo and most of the other hippogriffs/seaponies still felt understandably uneasy about this. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo had also informed their sisters and the others about another kaiju they encountered, which Twilight quickly identified as Baragon (thanks to the information the Elias had provided them) judging by their description of the creature. The kaiju explored the land of Equestria at their pleasure. After being accepted by the ponies and most other races, Godzilla and Anguirus had become far more active in Equestria, and would frequently visit different locations in the land. The flying bird-like creature had also been reported flying over the Crystal Empire many times over the last few days and flying around the cloud cities such as Las Pegasus and Cloudsdale. Anguirus had been coming to Appleloosa, Rockville and Dodge Junction more and more often. Titanosaurus preferred to stay mostly in the waters of Mount Aris and Seaquestria, and rarely came on land. He was far less active than most of the others. Out of all the kaiju, Godzilla had been the most active, visiting places such as Yakyakistan, the Changeling Kingdom, The Crystal Empire and the Dragon Lands. The yaks allowed Godzilla and the other kaiju to visit their kingdom after hearing how he had saved their pony friends from Destoroyah and SpaceGodzilla. The changelings also welcomed them to visit their hive after he had (in a way) saved them from Destoroyah. The Dragon Lands were also free for Godzilla to visit due to the respect Ember had for him, as Godzilla had saved not only her life, but also the lives of her friends and her entire kingdom from King Ghidorah. Amazingly, none of the kaiju had done any kind of damage to the kingdoms they had visited. Mothra (like Titanosaurus) was also far less active then her fellow kaiju. Baragon's trail went cold, but Twilight and her friends surmised that he went somewhere underground, as he was subterranean in Nature. The kaiju's arrival in Equestria had also made some changes and given some influences to the ponies and other inhabitants; Twilight had written an entire book regarding Godzilla and most of the other kaiju that were currently both in Equestria and Godzilla's world, which she titled 'The World of Giants'. Rarity was also given some inspirations such as making dresses that were the same color and style as Mothra's beautiful wings, and dresses that glow blue in dark rooms, much like how Godzilla's spines do before he fires his primary weapon. A change had also happened in the Castle of Friendship, during Twilight Sparkle and her friends' journey beyond Equestria (before the kaiju began arriving), the Cutie Map has expanded to include the various locations they visited, including Klugetown, the pirate ship, and Mount Aris. Realizing that there were so many creatures beyond Equestria who knew nothing about friendship, Twilight decided to open a friendship school. But in order for that to happen, Twilight must gain the approval of the Equestria Education Association (E.E.A) the leading authority on all school-related matters. The E.E.A were already aware of kaiju coming to their world and asked Twilight if her school could help in dealing with the 'problem'. Twilight assured them that Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra, Titanosaurus and the other current kaiju are no threats to Equestria so long as they are not provoked or attacked, and that the Elias are working on returning them home. The E.E.A reluctantly granted provisional approval. Some time later, the School of Friendship was officially opened near Twilight's castle. To realize her goal of teaching friendship to others, Twilight appointed her friends as teachers and Starlight Glimmer as a guidance. Twilight revealed to her friends that she had invited not just ponies to be school students but also dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings and hippogriffs. The first few days did not exactly go as Twilight had hoped due to the different races judging each other about their differences. However, six students in particular had shown promise: Smolder the dragon, Yona the yak, Silverstream the hippogriff, Sandbar the earth pony, Ocellus the changeling and Gallus the griffon. Despite being off to a harsh start, they eventually warmed up with one another. One day, they decided to skip class and sneak out of the school to have a little fun. On their way back, Chancellor Neighsay came to check on Twilight's progress, and Ocellus, transformed into a giant insect-like form, accidentally destroyed part of the school by smashing herself against it. Neighsay was shocked to learn that Twilight had non-ponies among her students, calling the other races "dangerous" and believing they would use Twilight's lessons against Equestria. Thorax, Ember, Prince Rutherford and Grampa Grufftake took extreme offense to Neighsay's insinuations and pulled the students they represent out of the school. Neighsay went on to say that the kaiju have already been a "problem enough" as it was and the other races would simply make things worse. Twilight angrily defended both the kaiju and the non-pony races, and reminded him that Godzilla had recently saved Equestria and all of the races from the real monsters (King Ghidorah, Destoroyah and SpaceGodzilla). Neighsay dismissed this as "creatures defending their territory" and "not caring about others", and because Twilight failed to meet the E.E.A.'s high-reaching standards, Chancellor Neighsay shut down the School of Friendship and placed a magical lock on its doors. Following the closure and discrediting of her School of Friendship, Twilight fell into a depression and refused to get out of bed. After upsetting most of her friends and making enemies out of Equestria's allies, she felt like a failure as the Princess of Friendship. Her friends tried to cheer her up, but Twilight needed some time to be alone and to think. Starlight then came and told Twilight what she had done wrong: she gave up too easily. As the Princess of Friendship, she should stand up for what she believes in, regardless of what anyone says. With her confidence and courage restored, Twilight met up with her friends and declared that she is reopening the School of Friendship. While Twilight went to deal with the school's discrediting, her friends went to get their students back. Unfortunately, Twilight's friends were shocked to discover that the students, unwilling to be without one-another, had ran away and left behind notes. With their students missing, the leaders of the other races in Equestria gathered in Canterlot Castle. Believing someone helped them accomplished this, the leaders all began accusing each other of hiding the students. Princess Celestia told Twilight to find the students quickly before a war breaks out between all the races. Gallus, Smolder, Ocellus, Yona, Sandbar and Silverstream hid from their leaders at the Castle of the Two Sisters while Sandbar returned with the supplies he picked up in Ponyville. The six friends began eating cupcakes together and have a pillow fight. However, the presence of the six students attracted the unwanted attention of a gigantic mantis that also came from Godzilla's world, and went by the name 'Kamacuras'. The students were completely shocked and caught off guard by the kaiju's arrival. Kamacuras was also very hungry and saw the six students as food. Knowing that there was no way they could fight off or defeat the giant insect, the Young Six tried to escape from it and the giant mantis gave chase. Kamacuras eventually cornered them against a wall and was ready to attack. But before it could harm any of them... Mothra suddenly arrived in time to save them! The Young Six watched in amazement as Mothra got into a short but vicious fight with the Kamacuras. After defeating it, the Kamacuras flew away in search of easier prey. The Mane Six arrived to witness their students rescued by Mothra. Impressed by Mothra's heroic actions and amazing abilities, the students wished to stay with her, not wanting to return home. But Twilight assured them that was not the case and asked them to return to school. The students agreed under the assurance that their lessons won't be as boring as last time, and that they also wish to learn more about the kaiju after witnessing Mothra in action. The Mane Six and their students returned to the school in time for the arrival of Princess Celestia and the race leaders. The students decided to stay at the school, much to the surprise of their leaders, and Twilight used her magic to break Chancellor Neighsay's seal on the doors. When Neighsay arrived to investigate the broken seal, Twilight and her friends ordered him to step aside so they can resume classes. Neighsay angrily refused to allow the school to be reopened, insisting that its closing was for the greater good. Twilight pointed out to him that he was no different than the humans of Godzilla's world, in that he treats the other races as dangerous creatures, just like how the humans treat Godzilla as a monster without feelings. She declared that even though the School of Friendship was not E.E.A.-accredited, it was an independent institution with its own set of rules that do not need the E.E.A.'s approval. Neighsay insisted that changing the rules for such a diverse group of students will not work, but Celestia reminded him that the same thing was once thought about earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi. With the belief that Twilight's school could one day destroy Equestria, Neighsay left in a rage. With the School of Friendship now reopened Ember, Rutherford, and the other leaders allowed the students to remain at the school. Celestia and the other leaders left while Twilight and her friends went inside the school to begin their lessons. School of Friendship Several days had passed since the School of Friendship had reopened. Today was a rather cloudy day, neither the Sun nor the blue sky were present to shine their beautiful light on Ponyville. The Young Six students were currently in a class room where they were being thought by Rainbow Dash on how to control the clouds in the sky for better weather control. However, the students, at the moment, were not enjoying themselves all that much. "I know Twilight said that our lessons won't be boring anymore, but I'm starting to get there." Gallus whispered quietly to Smolder, who was sitting next to him. "I know, right?" Smolder whispered back. "They also said they were gonna talk about the giant creatures that came from another world." "Maybe we just have to be a little patient." Ocellus said quietly with a reassuring smile. "They'll talk about them, hopefully." "I can't wait to hear about them, especially that one called Gojira!" Silverstream squealed happily with a wide grin, but also very quietly while also trying to suppress her excitement. "Actually, it's 'Godzilla'." Sandbar corrected her. "I heard he has something called a 'Heat Ray'." The hippogriff stated, getting even more excited by the second. "I really wanna see it!" "That's cool and all, but he can't fly like us dragons." Smolder stated with a bit of pride and with a smug grin on her face. "Don't forget Smolder, he did save the Dragon Lands from that three-headed dragon-like creature called King Ghidorah." Sandbar pointed out. This reminder caused Smolder to frown at him a little, but said nothing else. Although, deep down, she was very grateful for Godzilla's heroic actions, and the same can also be said for the other students; if Godzilla or any of his allies did not arrive to save them, this school, and even themselves, would not have been here. "Speaking of Ghidorah, do all dragons in Godzilla's world have three heads and breath lightning?" Smolder asked, now with more interest. "Well," Sandbar began, tapping his hoof on his chin. "I think Twilight mentioned that there's another dragon with three heads in Godzilla's world. I think he was called 'Desghidorah'. Though I don't know if he breaths lightning or not." "Yona like Spiky Armadillo!" Yona suddenly exclaimed happily, referring to Anguirus. Unfortunately, she was not as quiet as her friends which resulted in Rainbow Dash hearing her. "Alright, what's going on here?" Rainbow Dash asked sternly as she turned around. "Sorry, Teach. No offense, but we were kind of hoping... you could tell us something about Mothra and the other giant creatures that came into our world?" Gallus asked with a nervous grin, the other five students doing the exact same thing. Instead of a stern look and telling them to focus on what she was teaching them, like they expected, Rainbow's eyes widened in surprise. "Well why didn't you say so?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed with both surprise and excitement. "Sit back and listen closely!" Immediately, the six students were at their fullest attention and interest as they grinned eagerly with excitement when Rainbow cleared her throat... "It all started about two weeks ago." Rainbow Dash began. "When we were preparing a grand party for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's arrival to Ponyville. All of the sudden, a portal appeared out of nowhere, and from that portal came Godzilla!" ... Manehattan Manehattan, a metropolitan city that was one of the most populated places in Equestria. It was also the home of Apple Bloom's cousin, Babs Seed, Applejack's Aunt and Uncle Orange, party planner Cheese Sandwich and famous pop singer, Coloratura. Today, however, was a rather stormy day in Manehattan, with thunder that was louder than most of the noises the city made, and rain to make things even worse. It was especially uncomfortable and unpleasant for the ponies that were walking outside. But the storm itself would soon become the least of their problem... ... Coco Pommel, a close friend of Rarity, was now the manager of her own boutique in Manehattan. The earth pony was currently looking outside her window, at the stormy weather that was raging outside, with a disappointed look on her face. "Ah..." She sighed as she continued looking through the window in disappointment, which had a clear view on the giant railroad bridge that connected Manehattan to the Equestrian mainland. "I wish this rain would stop." She said to herself. As she continued looking on, the bored Coco turned her attention up at the clouds... but after doing so, however, her boredom almost immediately vanished, to be replaced with shock and surprise. She suddenly noticed something in the sky... something moving within the clouds... something that now began descending from the clouds above. The earth pony couldn't believe her eyes, she quickly rubbed them with her hooves to make sure it wasn't some kind of trick her eyes were playing on her - and sure enough, it was still there. Fortunately, she was not alone; the ponies that were looking through their windows from the nearby buildings and the ponies that were walking on the streets with umbrellas also noticed it, but could not believe it. It was a gigantic glowing tentacle that emerged from the stormy clouds, and it wasn't alone - several more tentacles also emerged from the clouds to join it! The tentacles were now hovering directly above the bridge that connected Manehattan to the Equestrian mainland. Judging from their size alone, it appeared that whatever these tentacles were attached to, was very large. Miss Pommel simply could not believe what she was seeing, then a realization came into her head... "Is this a creature from the world where the others came from?" She asked herself, still unsure about it's motivations. But she had every right to be afraid of the mysterious, tentacled creature. The tentacles suddenly began reaching down, before several of them, at least four, wrapped themselves tightly around the saddles of the bridge. It was still unclear what these appendages were attached to, but whatever it was - it was strong! With a firm grip on the bridge, the creature began to pull! The ponies continued to look on, now more confused, as to what this creatures was attempting to do. Their question, unfortunately, become answered when the unthinkable happened before their very eyes! With one last, mighty pull, the monster tore the entire enormous bridge free from it's moorings, and lifted it in the air triumphantly! Pieces of debris rained in the raging water below after the bridge was removed! It was now that the tentacles unwrapped themselves and released their grip from the torn bridge, sending it splashing in the water below! The bridge that connected Manehattan to the rest of Equestria, that was made over the course of several years and had been here for many more years, was now sinking below the water. Thankfully though, there were no ponies on the bridge when it was torn off. Now that it's 'work' was done, the tentacles slowly retracted back, up into the stormy clouds, where they disappeared and left everypony that witnessed this event both shocked and horrified. "Oh my Celestia..." Coco muttered as she covered her mouth with her hooves in complete and utter horror, continuing to silently stare to where the bridge used to reside. ... School of Friendship "And that's how Godzilla beat SpaceGodzilla and sent him packing!" Rainbow Dash finished the story. Rainbow Dash had just finished explaining to the Young Six about the events that started with the arrival of Godzilla and all the way to the battle between his extraterrestrial double in the Crystal Empire. The six students were completely amazed & fascinated about the kaiju, and the incredible feats and powers they possessed. They hoped to meet some of the kaiju again, preferably those who don't wish to destroy or devour them. "Yona like giants! Giants awesome!" Yona exclaimed loudly and happily while clapping her hooves in joy. "I gotta say, Godzilla and those others are pretty awesome." Smolder stated with a satisfied smile, folding her arms. "Pretty awesome? More like super awesome!" Silverstream exclaimed excitedly, spreading her wings and rising her claws in the air in excitement. "If Godzilla or any of his friends didn't come, I don't think any of us would have been safe." Sandbar stated with slight relief. "Those monsters sound like more dangerous threats than even the Storm King." "Maybe, but I personally think that Godzilla's the coolest." Gallus stated with a smug smile. "I really like Mothra." Ocellus said with her own gentle smile. "She's so gentle and kind, like our king, Thorax!" "Now, how about I tell you some of the battles Godzilla had in his world?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes!" All six students exclaimed at once loudly. ... Elsewhere, Twilight was in her office, writing down letters and enjoying her time. And what was there to worry about? With the School of Friendship reopened, all the different races in Equestria will be able to learn about friendship, not to mention having already befriended some of the kaiju. As the Princess of Friendship continued her work in peace... Spike, with a letter in his right claw, suddenly slammed open the door, catching Twilight by surprise and startling her to the point where she nearly fall off her chair. "Spike!" She scolded, regaining her composure. "Don't ever do that!" "Sorry, Twilight." He grinned sheepishly. "Anyway, I have news about a recent incident that happened in Manehattan very shortly!" He stated. This immediately removed Twilight's annoyed expression, and got her attention and concern to their fullest. She hoped that it wasn't another kaiju attack, because that was one of the last things she needed right now after opening the School of Friendship. "What is it?" She asked both worriedly and hysterically. "Is it a creature from Godzilla's world?" "I'm not exactly sure." Spike admitted. "But you're not gonna like it." He stated uncomfortably. ... Rainbow Dash was now telling the Young Six about one of the battles that had occurred in Godzilla's world sometime in the past, to which she was informed by the Elias. "This Dagahra sounds kind of like a dragon." Smolder stated judging from Rainbow Dash's story and description of said kaiju. "Except for the fact that he can breath underwater, shoot beams out of his mouth and wings, and create some kind of starfish creatures called Barem." Rainbow Dash added. "So Dagahra can create and control these 'Barems'?" Gallus asked, a little skeptical. "Yeah. Barems can shoot acid and suck the energy from your body." Rainbow Dash explained with mischievous smile, enjoying the sight of some of the students turning pale upon hearing this. "I wanna hold one!" Silverstream grinned excitedly, which caused her fellow students and friends to look at her in confusion. "Silverstream, you do realize that they are dangerous, right?" Sandbar asked, unsure if the hippogriff was joking or not. "Oh, right." She giggled upon the realization as she scratched the back of her head with slight embarrassment. "So how did Godzilla defeat him?" Ocellus asked curiously. "Dagahra attacked Godzilla with his army of Barem! The Barems completely covered Godzilla and started sucking his energy! But Big G wasn't going down without a fight. He used that Nuclear Pulse of his to free himself and injure Dagahra! When Dagahra was down, Godzilla blasted him with his Atomic Breath again, and again, and again! Until Dagahra was destroyed!" Rainbow Dash finally finished with a proud smile. The six students were left in a state of awe, astonishment and amazement by this epic tale, with huge grins on their faces and widened starry eyes. Godzilla sounded like a creature that none should mess with! But they were also impressed and amazed by the other kaijus' unique and destructive abilities, and origins of how they came to be. It was almost like something they would find in a comic book. All of the sudden, Twilight slammed open the door, ironically startling both the students and Rainbow Dash the same way Spike startled her earlier. "Rainbow, there's an emergency in Manehattan and we need you!" The Princess of Friendship exclaimed with a very worried and desperate voice to match the equally-worried look on her face. "On it, Twilight!" Rainbow said firmly and without a second thought, quickly zipped past Twilight and exited the room with blinding speed. The six students turned to look at one-another before turning to Twilight. "Sooo... does this mean that class is dismissed and we can go home?" Smolder asked eagerly and hopefully. The rest of the students looked at Twilight eagerly, hoping the answer is 'yes'. "Sorry..." Twilight said with a light chuckle. "You're next class just so happens to be in the Library. So you better get started." She said before exiting the class room, to which the students sighed and groaned. ... In no time, the Mane Six, along with Starlight Glimmer and Spike, were on an a purple-colored airship that was ready to take off to Manehattan. Spike had already explained the details about the bridge in Manehattan being destroyed. "What kind of a monster would do such a thing?!" A furious Rarity exclaimed. Ever since hearing about the news about the destruction of the bridge, the unicorn was consumed with anger, which she directed towards the unknown perpetrator, knowing she would now have a much longer time getting to her favorite boutiques in Manehattan. "Easy, Rarity. We'll find out when we get there." Rainbow said calmly, trying to calm her unicorn friend down. Though she did so more out of the refusal of hearing Rarity's complains about fashion, which she obviously could care less for. "I just hope nopony was hurt, or worse..." Twilight muttered to herself dreadfully. Finally, the airship slowly took off and began to sail to their destination. ... School of Friendship Back in the School of Friendship, the Young Six weren't exactly having a good time of their own, either. They were busy reading books about spells, creatures, history and so on. While they do respect friendship and their teachers, they were still having a bit of a boring time. This continued until Gallus has finally had enough. "What do you say we take a little break and go outside?" Gallus turned to his friends who turned to look at him."Besides, none of our teachers are here to stop us, anyway." He added a mischievous smile before getting off his chair and proceeding to head for the exit door. "Yeah, I little break won't hurt." Smolder agreed. Like Gallus, she closed the book she was reading and got off her chair before following the griffon to the exit. "Yak agree. Yak going with friends." Yona also closed her book and got off. Silverstream and Ocellus quickly followed them afterwards. "Come on, Sandbar! It'll be fun!" Silverstream called out, only for the other students in the Library to quickly shush her and remind the hippogriff of where she was. "Oops, sorry." She grinned nervously. Sandbar sighed. "I guess I better make sure they don't get into any trouble." He muttered before closing his book. ... The Young Six came outside on the cloudy day, where they sat on the stairs of the entrance of the front doors of the School of Friendship. "It's good to get a little fresh air." Gallus said with a smile as he breaths in. "I can't believe that I'm sitting on stairs! Stairs!" Silverstream squealed happily while looking down to where she is sitting at. "I didn't know you can also sit on them!" "Does everything about stairs amaze you?" Smolder rolled her eyes and gave a light chuckle. "Hopefully we get back inside before our teachers get back." Sandbar muttered quietly to himself with a slight worry. But then a more concerning thought came into the earth pony's head. "Say, do you think that our teachers left because of an attack from a creature from Godzilla's world?" This question caused the other students to turn and look at him with surprise. Truth be told, they never actually thought about why their teachers would leave in such a hurry. "That might be the case." Ocellus said uncertainly while putting a hoof on her chin, pondering. "If it is, I hope it's a cool-looking creature with awesome powers, like Dagahra!" Smolder stated with an excited grin. "And hopefully one that doesn't want to destroy us." Sandbar added with a hint of anxiety. "Yona not scared! Yona smash if monster attack friends!" Yona yelled loudly and proudly. "Besides," Gallus added with a confident smile. "That incident happened in Manehattan, and we're a long way from there. It's not like it's gonna come here and attack us next." He stated confidently. But little did the griffon knew, he was about to be proven very wrong, very soon. Out of the bloom, something caught the young hippogriff's attention up in the cloudy sky. "Hey, look at that!" Sliverstream suddenly exclaimed, pointing a claw up at the cloudy sky. The other five students quickly turned to where she was pointing at, and sure enough, noticed something as well - something none of them had ever seen before. Slowly descending from the clouds were three very large and very long, white-glowing tentacles that silently moved through the air. And they weren't alone; three more tentacles soon descended and joined them. There were now six gigantic tentacles slithering and hovering directly above the School of Friendship. "Please tell me that I'm not the only one seeing this." Sandbar said in disbelief, not taking his widened eyes off the moving tendrils in the sky. "Nope, you're not alone." Smolder confirmed in equal shock, also gazing up at the mysterious appendages. The creature that owned these appendages now began to make itself known as it slowly emerged from the clouds, allowing not only the six students, but also most of Ponyville to see it with their own, shock-filled eyes. This was mainly due to it's size, which was enormous. The six students were now completely baffled to what they were seeing. The creature did not have any wings, and yet, it was floating like a balloon. In fact, this creature did not have fur, feathers, fins, legs, scales, claws, horns, hooves or even a face for that matter. The creature closely resembled a gigantic jellyfish than anything else. A white, translucent bell with an opening on the underside where the six long, slim tentacles were attached to. But unlike a real jellyfish, this creature also possessed two more tentacles on it's bell. This mysterious creature was none other than the Space Monster: Dogora! "So, anyone have any idea on what that thing is?" Gallus was the first to break the uncomfortable silence with a question. "It's like a jellyfish! Except, you know - it's big and flying!" Silverstream squealed in amazement and curiosity, gazing up at the space monster, completely oblivious to the serious danger they were in. "I think it might be a creature from Mothra's world." Ocellus guessed, but still unsure. "If it is, it's definitely the weirdest one that I've seen." Smolder commented. "And I think it's getting really close." Sandbar pointed out. Indeed the earth pony was correct, the space creature was beginning to descend down on the School of Friendship. It was much bigger than the school itself and it's tentacles seemed to be reaching out. "You're in terrible danger!" The six students froze, completely caught off guard and startled by the sudden two female voices that they all just heard. "Who said that?" Gallus asked in surprise and confusion, turning to his friends for some kind of explanation. "Not Yona." Yona shrugged. "Please forgive us, we are the Elias and we are from Godzilla's world. We are communicating to you through our telepathic abilities. The creature you are witnessing is called 'Dogora' and it is incredibly dangerous!" Looks of surprise, amazement, shock, and a bit of fear for some, filled the six student's faces, both at the sudden call from the Elias and Dogora's supposed threat level. But Gallus simply rolled his eyes and chuckled nervously. "Dogora, huh? I'm sure it's nothing to worry about." Gallus stated confidently, seemingly unafraid. And it didn't take long for that to quickly change, when Dogora suddenly lashed out one of its long tentacles, wrapped it around one of the school's roofs before pulling and tearing it off. "Of course I could be wrong. Run!" He exclaimed. Without thinking twice and without hesitation, the Young Six quickly turned and began racing back inside the school as fast as possible! Once they were all in, they slammed the doors shut! ... "I don't think that's gonna hold it." Smolder said with worry and uncertainty. This was quickly proven true: the ceiling above them suddenly began to crack before breaking apart! But instead of falling down on them, the pieces of the ceiling went upwards, as if an invisible force was pulling them up. This only increased as the entire ceiling above them broke into to many pieces - allowing the Young Six to see the sky above through the opening - which were then quickly sucked up. The six students become even more shocked when they saw where those broken pieces went. They went up in the sky, before entering Dogora's underside opening! Dogora had a primary diet of carbon, which was almost everywhere, and the opening on its underside, which acted like a mouth, was used like a vacuum to suck up it's meals. And unfortunately, the Young Six may become it's next course. "I hope our teachers or Mothra, or Godzilla get here soon." Ocellus said with dread while looking up at the hungry space monster. ... Manehattan Meanwhile, the Mane Six, Starlight and Spike had finally arrived in Manehattan. They were currently in Coco Pommel's home, as she had finished explaining on what had happened earlier. "So these tentacles destroyed the bridge?" Twilight asked, recalling what Coco had witnessed. "Yes, it was awful!" Coco said with dread, covering her mouth with her hooves. Rarity pats her on the back and gave her a warm smile to ease her. "Did you see what was the creature of these tentacles?" Starlight now asked. "No," She answered. "It was above the clouds, so I couldn't see it." There was no doubt to the Mane Six, this definitely sounded like the work of a creature from Godzilla's home-world. And their suspicions were quickly confirmed when they hear the Elias's voices. "Princess Twilight Sparkle!" "Elias!" Twilight exclaimed with joy, very happy to hear her other-worldly friends again. "I'm so glad to hear from you! See, there's been an-" She was suddenly cut off, when the Elias started talking about the more important news. "We know Twilight. The creature that attacked is called, Dogora. But we have some urgent news! Dogora has just arrived in your School of Friendship and it is attacking!" These very words caused not only Twilight to feel like her heart had just stopped, but also her friend's. This very negative feeling was overwhelming, as they could feel an enormous amount of fear consuming their bodies from within, which was visible from the outside by the horrified looks that suddenly formed on their faces. Everything Twilight had worked for, her school and the lives of her students... placed in danger. "Um, Princess Twilight, who are you talking to?" A confused Coco Pommel asked gently. "We have to get back!" Twilight suddenly yelled out, startling Coco as a result. With no time to waste, Twilight and her friends quickly raced outside in the stormy weather as fast as they possibly could to reach the airship and return to Ponyville before it was too late! ... School of Friendship Back in the School of Friendship, things were not looking any better. Dogora was floating above the School of Friendship, and literally devouring it! Most of the upper half of the School of Friendship - roof, towers, flags - was already missing and the space monster was still continuing to vacuum up more and more, to satisfy it's hunger for carbon! Even the waters around the school were getting sucked into Dogora's 'mouth'. The six students can only look in horror, and watch helplessly as the space kaiju continued to feed! Smolder turned to Ocellus. "Ocellus, can you turn into something big enough to fight this thing?" She asked eagerly. The changeling turned to Smolder and gave her a dreadful look." Smolder," Ocellus said. "We changelings have a limit to how big of a form we can turn into..." She paused to look up at the jellyfish-like monster floating above them before turning back to her dragon friend and continuing. "And this, is way beyond our limit." This statement caused Smolder to gulp in fear. "Elias, if you can hear us, now would be a good time to tell us how to stop this thing." Sandbar begged. Fortunately, the Elias were quick to respond to his call. "You must find bees or wasps." "Bees? Wasps? How is that gonna stop it?" Gallus asked in confusion. "Dogora is vulnerable to the venom of bees and wasps. If exposed, it's body will solidify like stone." The six students now looked in surprise after hearing this - for such a large and dangerous creature, it certainly had a very strange and bizarre weakness. But before they could reply or do anything else, however, Sandbar, Yona, and the other students who were standing, suddenly began levitating off the ground and heading upwards - towards Dogora's 'mouth'! "Sandbar! Yona!" Silverstream exclaimed before taking flight and racing up! She grabbed Sandbar by the tail and tried to pull him down. Smolder quickly opened her wings and tried flying down while Gallus and Ocellus grabbed Yona by her front hooves and tried to pull her down as well. But despite their noble efforts, all six students began getting pulled and sucked upwards, towards Dogora's waiting 'mouth'. Even with their best effort to resist it and fly down, the space kaiju's vacuum was proving too strong as it continued pulling the struggling students higher and higher to devour them! "This really sucks!" Gallus exclaimed while struggling to pull Yona down alongside Ocellus, as well as themselves. "Your making jokes at a time like this?!" Sandbar asked while Silverstream was struggling to pull him down. "Heh, one last joke in case we don't make it." Gallus couldn't help but chuckle, despite the grave situation he and everyone else was in. ... But just as all hope seemed lost for the Young Six... a bright, neon-blue beam shot out of nowhere and pierced through Dogora's bell, like a bullet piercing a water balloon! ... Without warning, the powerful force that was pulling the Young Six up ceased, causing them to stop their struggling, and in Gallus, Ocellus and Silverstream's case, to hold on to their friends to prevent them from falling down, considering how high off the ground they were. "Any idea to what just happened?" Smolder asked in confusion after flying down and landing on the ground, followed by Gallus and Ocellus, who gently placed Yona down, and Silverstream, who put Sandbar down. Her question was quickly answered in the form of a loud roar! *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOONGK!* The Young Six were completely caught off guard by this, and also a little startled. "Oh great, not another one." Gallus groaned in discomfort, believing it is a another kaiju arriving to attack them. Although, he was only half right. Sandbar, on the other hand, quickly identified the roar. "I know that roar anywhere, it's Godzilla!" He exclaimed happily with grin. Out of all the Young Six, the earth pony was the only one that had actually seen Godzilla in person, and what he was capable of. His friends turned and gave him looks of surprise and some skepticism. "Are you sure, Sandbar?" A not-so-sure Ocellus asked. Sandbar nodded. "Positive." He confirmed with a smile. ... Although the space kaiju could not roar, the pain it felt was shown when it's vacuuming ceased. The hole in it's bell almost immediately closed and healed. While it did not have eyes, Dogora could definitely sense the presence of another creature nearby. ... The Young Six quickly emerged from the half-missing school and raced outside, to be met with an astonishing sight. Standing further away from the School of Friendship (and Twilight's castle) was what seemed to be... Godzilla. But in reality, that was not the case, this creature appeared as something of a smaller version of Godzilla, being only half the Monster King's height and having reduced dorsal spines. The six students did not know it yet, but they were gazing at the Son of the King of the Monsters: Godzilla Junior! "That's Godzilla?" Ocellus asked in absolute astonishment with widened eyes. "He's huge!" Silverstream squealed with excitement. "He's bigger than I thought." Gallus muttered with shock and disbelief at the kaiju's size. "Giant, big!" Yona exclaimed happily. "Are you positive he's not a dragon?" Smolder asked skeptically, turning to Sandbar. But the earth pony had a rather confused look on his face. "I don't think that's Godzilla. He seems...small." This statement caused he's friends to look at him with widened eyes, as if he was crazy or something. "Small? Small?!" Gallus exclaimed loudly. Pointing at Godzilla Junior, he continued. "Do you not see the size of him? He's bigger than an Ursa Major!" "That's pretty big, even by dragon standards." Smolder stated. "Pony friend blind?" Yona asked in confusion. Silverstream ponders for a moment before saying..."Either Godzilla's gone on a strict diet, or..." "Or what, genius?" Gallus asked sarcastically, folding he's claws. "...Or, maybe Godzilla found the Fountain of Youth!" Silverstream finished with a playful smile. Gallus and Smolder shook their heads in disbelief while Yona, Ocellus and Sandbar looked at her in confusion. The voices of the Elias were suddenly heard again. "Actually, that is Godzilla's son: Junior." The eyes of the Young Six widen once again in both surprise and astonishment as they turn to the Monster King's adoptive son. "Well, at least that's a better explanation than the 'Fountain-of-Youth' one." Gallus muttered, but nevertheless, was still surprised. The Monster Prince roared again, his smaller dorsal spines lighten up, as did the inside of his mouth, before letting loose an Atomic Breath at the space monster! Piercing it like before - and just like before, Dogora's wounds instantly healed. The six youths simply gazed in amazement at this display of the young kaiju's power. "That...was...awesome!" Silverstream exclaimed loudly as she raised both claws in the air in excitement. "What was that he just shot?!" Silverstream asked excitedly. "That... was the Heat Ray." Sandbar answered with a small smile. Indeed, the young students were very much amazed and impressed by this, and indeed, the Heat Ray looked spectacular to watch. "That's the Heat Ray?! So cool!" Silverstream exclaimed happily, while clapping her claws in joy. "It's... kind of different from fire." Smolder said, unsure what to think of it. "It's not fire, it's a beam composed of some kind of energy that doesn't exist in our world." Sandbar explained. "Yak like light beam!" Yona exclaimed happily while bouncing up-and-down, similar to how Pinkie does. Even though it did not have a brain, Dogora was very certain that this new comer was a threat - and a serious one at that. Just like a real jellyfish, the space monster used a form of 'jet propulsion' to leave the School of Friendship, and fly over to Godzilla Junior's location as it swam through the air like it was water. In just a few seconds, Dogora was now hovering directly above the young kaiju, completely dwarfing Junior in size. Now it was Dogora's turn. Many of it's tentacles shot like harpoons at the young kaiju, but instead of spearing, they wrapped themselves around the young one. Two wrapped his arms, two more wrapped some of his dorsal spines and one wrapped itself around Junior's neck. The young monster shrieked in pain... for a good reason; the tentacles also had a corrosive touch. This was evident by the smoke that began to appear from where Dogora's tentacles were in contact with Junior's body. It was kind of like how his father had to deal with Hedorah's corrosive body in the past. The Young Six cringed as they watched the horror unfold, not expecting Dogora to have such a deadly ability. Like it did with the bridge in Manehattan earlier, Dogora now used it's tentacles to lift the struggling kaiju off the ground like a fisherman would reel in a catch. But unlike a fisherman, the space monster instead used it's tentacles to slam the young kaiju against the ground with incredible force, making a small shock wave as a result! "We have to help him!" Ocellus exclaimed worriedly. "Yeah, but how?" Gallus exclaimed back. Sandbar looked at him in confusion."Don't you remember the 'bee-and-wasp-venom' thing?" He asked. Hearing this, Gallus face-palmed with his right claw upon the realization. "Oh, right." He chuckled to himself. "Yona help friends save other friend from jellyfish monster!" Yona stated firmly. "We're gonna need a lot of bees and wasps for this." Smolder stated as she looked at the sheer size of the space monster. "I can transform myself into a bee or wasp and communicate with them to help us." Ocellus explained with a smile. "It helps that I learned from Professor Fluttershy on how to communicate with them better." "Me and Gallus will distract that monster and buy you guys some time." Smolder stated with a proud grin. "I wanna join you guys, too!" Silverstream exclaimed firmly with a confident grin of her own. "Please be careful you guys." Ocellus said worriedly. "Then it's settled: me, Ocellus and Yona will got get the bees and wasps, while you guys help Junior." Sandbar said. With a plan now established, the six friends nod to one another before splitting up to do their jobs. Smolder, Gallus and Silverstream flew toward the battlefield while their friends raced towards the forest in order to find the nests of bees and wasps. ... In no time, Ocellus, Yona and Sandbar went deep in the forest where they desperately searchd for a bee or wasp nest. Luckily for them, though, they quickly found one... on a very tall tree. "Yona got this!" Yona stated with a confident grin. She then reared on her hind legs before slamming down charging at the tree with surprising speed! She smashed it with her horns, with extreme force! The tree shook from the force, and in response to her attack, the bees from the hive emerged, and they were far from happy as they turned and glared down at Yona. "Uh oh..." The yak gulped in fear as the angry bees suddenly came charging down at the her with aimed stingers. But stopped when Ocellus suddenly flew in between them and Yona. The changeling quickly changed herself into a bluish bee form. In her bee form, Ocellus flew up to them and began communicating with the bees in their language, which was a form of buzzes. Sandbar and Yona watched in anticipation. "You think she can do this?" Sandbar asked with hope. After a minute and a half, his answer was revealed when Ocellus changed back to her true form and turned to them with a happy smile on her face. "They said they will help us and they also said that they know where there are more hives." "That's great! Now we just need to hurry, I don't know how much the others can keep Dogora occupied." Sandbar stated. With that, the three friends quickly ran off to find more bees or wasps. ... Dogora still had Godzilla Junior firmly in it's grip while it's deadly skin was eating away at Junior's hide. The young kaiju could not preform the Nuclear Pulse like his adoptive father due to his young age and inexperience. He was also unable to shoot any stronger variations of his Heat Ray. In desperation, the young kaiju's dorsal spines lightened up and he fired his Atomic Breath at the space monster's body! The radioactive beam pierced Dogora's body once again, making a hole in the process. While the space kaiju didn't have a face to express it's feelings on the outside, anyone could easily tell that it was not happy. The hole instantly closed and Dogora shot yet another tentacle at it's young opponent, wrapping up and closing Junior's jaws shut in order to prevent him from using his primary weapon again. The young kaiju struggled but could not break free, as the tentacles were far stronger than they appeared. However, he did get an unexpected help from a dragon, a hippogriff and a griffon. Smolder, Gallus and Silverstream were now flying very close to the space monster, and were extremely small in comparison to Dogora's bell alone. "Hey you big dumb jellyfish monster! Take this!" Smolder mockingly yelled out before taking a deep breath and shooting hot streams of fire at Dogora's body. While her fire was nowhere near as powerful as Godzilla Junior's Heat Ray, it was enough to annoy the space monster and cause it to turn it's attention to them. Angrily, Dogora lashed out with the two tentacles that were located on it's bell, at the three students. In response, the students (knowing full-well what would happen if they even touch them) quickly turned and flew in different directions in hopes of confusing the attacking appendages. The two tentacles turned and began chasing Smolder and Silverstream, while Gallus flew down. He flew down to the ground and grabbed a nearby wooden cart before flying back up with it. He then flew near Dogora and threw the cart the the space monster as a means to distract it. But the cart simply bounced off Dogora's jelly-like skin, which dissolved part of it, before falling down and smashing on the ground to pieces. "Well that could have gone better." Gallus muttered to himself. Godzilla Junior struggled to open his mouth and deliver another blow to the space monster, but the tentacle's grip on his jaw proved too strong, and it didn't help that his arms were also tied up, all while the corrosive skin was in constant contact with his body. Gallus, Smolder and Silverstream were doing their best to help Junior, but that was very difficult with the fact that Dogora was extremely resistant to any of their attempts to harm it, and they couldn't touch it due to the creature's corrosive body. "Nothing we're doing against it works, and we're barely even getting it's attention!" Smolder exclaimed in frustration. She finally escaped the reach of the two attacking tentacles that were chasing her and, along with Silverstream, now hovered near Gallus to catch her breath . "We have to somehow get that tentacle off of Junior's mouth so he can fire his Heat Ray at that thing." Gallus stated. Little did he know, Junior already had a solution to this problem. Charging up his body and gathering more nuclear energy then ever before, his dorsal plates began glowing brighter and brighter, while also giving off an immense heat, far hotter than that of any dragon's fire. The heat was so incredibly hot that it caused the tentacles that were wrapped around his dorsal spines to literally melt and fall to the ground. Immense heat also began to gather inside Godzilla Junior's closed mouth. The tentacle that was wrapped around his jaw also began melting because of the immense heat escaping Junior's lips. With the tentacle weakened enough, Godzilla Junior was finally able to force his jaws open, splitting the tentacle that was wrapped around them in half, and fire his Atomic Breath at maximum power! The three students gasped in awe and amazement as Godzilla Junior's Heat Ray shot up and pierced Dogora's body completely! Not only did the Heat Ray go through Dogora's body like it was nothing, but it also pierced the clouds above, making a hole there as well! After Junior finished his attack, the space monster was left with a very large, gaping hole in it's bell, and the three students could easily see right through it. "So... awesome!" Silverstream could barely keep her excitement in check. Smolder and Gallus couldn't help but give Godzilla Junior approving smiles, showing their respect for the young kaiju. But the same could not be said for Dogora - more enraged than ever, the space monster decided to dispose of it's main opponent the best way possible. It's large, gaping hole quickly closed and healed before it moved it's underside opening directly above Junior. The Monster Prince suddenly found himself getting pulled up by an unknown force, and directly towards the 'mouth'. "Is it going to eat him?" A worried Silverstream asked. "Nah! There's no way that monster could eat him." Gallus stated coolly. A statement that would soon to be proven wrong. Struggle as he might, Junior began floating higher and higher... until he was within Dogora's 'mouth'! The three students could only watch in horror as the Monster Prince was completely swallowed by Dogora! Inside what could be described as Dogora's belly, Junior cried out in pain as the acidic body began causing even more damage then before. In desperation, the young kaiju fired his Atomic Breath! The three students witnessed the blue beam emerge from Dogora's body. But it did not do any serious damage as the wound instantly closed shortly after the beam stopped firing. "Let go of him!" Silverstream angrily demanded and even started racing for the space monster, only to be stopped by Gallus, who grabbed one of her back hooves and held her. "We can't fight that thing, Silverstream!" Gallus exclaimed, trying to keep his hippogriff friend from doing something reckless or dangerous. "We can't just let it eat Junior like that!" Silverstream argued back, while glaring up at the space monster who still had Junior inside. "You don't have to." A male voice called from below. Looking down, the three students were greeted with a welcoming sight. Their three friends had just returned, and they weren't alone: hovering behind them was a massive swarm of both bees and wasps (mostly bees)! There was possibly over a trillion of them! Smolder, Gallus and Silverstream simply gaped in shock and awe at their friends accomplishment. "How did you find so many bees and wasps so fast?" A shocked Smolder asked. "Let's just say that Professor Fluttershy's 'Learning of Bugs' class payed off." Sandbar answered with a slightly smug smile. "Heh, never thought that school would one day save Equestria." Gallus chuckled. But their attention was quickly turned to Dogora when the Young Six heard Junior's painful cries from within the space monster's bell. "Junior's inside?!" Ocellus exclaimed, shocked and horrified at the mere thought. "We need to save him, and fast!" Silverstream exclaimed. Ocellus nodded. "On it!" She turned to the bees and wasps, and changed into her bee-form. Ocellus then proceeded to 'talk' with them a little before turning and pointing up at Dogora in the sky. In response, both the bees and wasps nodded, and immediately began flying up and racing towards the unsuspecting space monster! Dogora was too busy devouring it's 'meal' to notice the gigantic swarm, that was nearly as large as itself, heading straight for it. It only began detecting them when all the bees and wasps have swarmed and already surrounded the giant space monster. Without any hesitation, the insects quickly went on the offensive - stinging Dogora in every single inch of it's body, not even it's tentacles are spared! Their stingers easily pierced the jellyfish-like kaiju's soft body, and allowed massive amounts of venom to enter it's body! Dogora cannot roar like most other kaiju, but it's painful experience was very visible on the outside as it started thrashing it's body around and swinging it's tentacles wildly, desperately trying to fend off the attacking insects! Only after a few more seconds did the venom start taking it's toll on the space kaiju. Dogora's soft, translucent, jelly-like flesh began to harden like rock and solidify. The beast's struggle slowly began to cease as it's soft tissue began turning into a hard, rock-like substance. After several more minutes of futile thrashing and struggling, the floating jellyfish-like monster was now a statue of it's former self. Though it didn't stay that way for long - the now-solidified Dogora quickly fell from the sky and smashed on the ground, shattering into a million tiny pieces upon impact! The Young Six silently stared at the solidified remains of the space monster with expressions of astonishment and disbelief. They couldn't believe their eyes, they just couldn't - they had just accomplished something that seemed unlikely for their age. "I can't believe it... we saved Equestria!" Silverstream exclaimed loudly with joy. Her friends couldn't help but cheer with her in joy "Wait 'till our teachers hear about this!" Smolder said with a proud smirk. However, their moment of victory was interrupted when the severed tentacles of Dogora - those that were melted and torn off by Junior before Ocellus, Sandbar and Yona arrived with the wasps and bees - unexpectedly started levitating on their own, and began heading upwards in the sky. The Young Six noticed this and quickly stopped their cheering to look at the ascending pieces of Dogora in disbelief. "Are you kidding me!?" Gallus exclaimed in disbelief. One of the things that made Dogora such a dangerous creature was it's ability to asexually multiply - even the smallest piece that is separated from the original's body was enough to grow and become a new Dogora, with the same size and abilities as the original! Unfortunately for these severed parts, though, that will not come to pass. A powerful, blue-colored, radioactive Heat Ray suddenly shot from the ground and struck all of them dead on! What life remained in these severed parts was quickly erased as the intense heat and power of the Atomic Breath destroyed every single cell in them, reducing them into nothing! After the attack was finished, the shocked and astounded Young Six turned to the source, which was none other than Godzilla Junior rising up from the solidified remains of Dogora. He was badly hurt from the space monster's acidic body but his thick scales were able to withstand the assault and his healing factor helped in repairing his wounds. With the threat of Dogora vanquished, the Monster Prince let out his own triumphant roar! *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOONGK!* "Well, I guess we couldn't really do it all by ourselves, huh?" Sandbar asked with a smirk. Godzilla Junior now turned his attention down at the Young Six with curiosity in his eyes. The six students couldn't help but gaze back into Junior's brilliant golden eyes. This was cut-off when both the students and Junior heard the unmistakable voices of their teachers. "Everyone!" They turned to see Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer and the rest of their friends running up to them. "Oh, thank Celestia you're alright!" Twilight halted and breathed a sigh of relief just as her friends did. They then noticed Godzilla Junior standing in the distance, along with a very large swarm of bees and wasps hovering in the air, and the solidified pieces of Dogora on the ground. "What happened here?" Twilight couldn't help but ask. "We just saved Equestria!" Gallus answered with a cocky grin. The Mane Six, Starlight and Spike's eyes widen in surprise. "And we had some help form him." Sandbar added, pointing a hoof up at Godzilla Junior. "Is that Godzilla?" Spike asked in confusion. Everyone suddenly began feeling massive vibrations though the ground, signaling the arrival of another kaiju. This new kaiju could now be seen approaching from the north side. For those who didn't know him simply gaped in shock and astonishment when he arrived, but for those that did know him... "Godzilla!" Pinkie suddenly exclaimed happily, waving a hoof at him. The King of the Monsters had arrived to the scene! And he was twice the size of Godzilla Junior, and with much larger dorsal spines on his back. The Young Six were at a loss for words. "T-That's G-Godzilla?!" Gallus could barely say. "He's ginormous!" "He's ridiculously big!" Smolder exclaimed, seeing as how he completely dwarfed any dragon in size. "Yak think giant too big!" Yona stated, as she had never before seen a creature with a size of such perorations. "He's super big!" Silverstream exclaimed. Unlike her friends, though, she was more excited than shocked. "Oh, my..." Was all Ocellus could say with a meek tone. Sandbar, on the other hand, was not surprised as he had seen Godzilla before and had gotten used to his size. "Told ya he was bigger." He said with a light smirk. Godzilla Junior walked up to his adoptive father and greeted him with a series of grunts and soft growls. Godzilla responded with the same thing. After some time of 'talking', Godzilla turned to the Mane and Young six, and gave them a very soft growl. "What did he say?" A confused Applejack asked. Her answer was quickly given when the Elias' voices were heard. "Godzilla wishes for his son to come to your School of Friendship." Upon hearing this, both the Mane and Young six were now visibly surprised abd stunned. But the faces of the Young Six were quickly turned into that of joy and excitement. "Can you please do that, Twilight?" Silverstream suddenly asked, getting in Twilight's face with an eager grin. "Yeah, it'll be awesome!" Smolder exclaimed, doing the same thing as Silverstream. "Yona want to be with giant friend!" Yona then joined them. "Come on Tech! One more student wouldn't hurt." Gallus was next. Twilight simply sighed and gave them a warm smile. "Consider it done." She declared. The Young Six began cheering happily at hearing this, and they weren't alone. Like his adoptive father, Godzilla Junior had also taken a liking to the inhabitants of Equestria, and he especially liked these six particular students, that helped him in his time of need. "Now the only problem is how are we gonna get him in the school? He seems a little big, don't ya' think?" Applejack asked, unsure how this will work out. Pinkie suddenly popped next to her. "Don't worry AJ! When there's a will, there's way!" She stated with a cheerful smile. At this point, however, the Young Six turned and looked at one-another nervously before turning back to Twilight. "Umm...Twilight?" Sandbar called out nervously, causing the Princess to turn to them. "Yes? What is it?" She asked with a smile. "You see, something kind of... happened to the school." Sandbar began, unsure how to explain the damage Dogora had done to the School of Friendship. ... Far away, in another location of Equestria, roamed the former foe of Twilight Sparkle: Tempest Shadow, who's real name was actually Fizzlepop Berrytwist. When she was a young filly, Tempest was attacked by an Ursa Minor which resulted in the loss of her horn and a scar on her right eye. Because of this, her magic became unstable, causing the ponies of her village shun her. She began to believe that friendship had betrayed her. When a fully grown mare, Tempest encountered the Storm King, who claimed he would restore her horn if she helped him in capturing the four Princesses of Equestria and use their magic to conquer the world. Tempest was successful in her duty, but was later betrayed by the Storm King, who revealed that he had no intention of restoring her horn and that he was using her. Enraged, Tempest engaged the Storm King in a small duel which resulted in her nearly being swept away by the storm. But she was saved by Princess Twilight Sparkle. This, along with the Storm King's betrayal, caused Tempest to realize just how important friendship truly was. In the final battle with the Storm King, Tempest allowed herself to be turned into obsidian stone in order to defeat the Storm King once and for all. She, along with the three Princesses, was later restored to normal. Twilight offered her to stay in Ponyville but Tempest declined her offer and went on to spread the word of the Storm King's defeat, and to also learn more about friendship and love. Tempest still kept the same uniform from the Storm King, though. ... These last few weeks, Tempest had been wondering Equestria, spreading the word of the Storm King's defeat to anyone she encountered. Along the way, she had already learned many important lessons about friendship, but was unsure if she should interact with any of the ponies or creatures. Tempest felt deep remorse for all of the past actions she had done to the ponies and other races of Equestria, and was unsure on how she should interact with them. At the moment, Tempest was currently walking through a forest, a part of Equestria that few ponies visit. But today... Tempest will have an encounter with a creature like no other. As Tempest was walking across a clear pathway through the forest... her journey suddenly came to an unexpected halt when she stopped, and her eyes widened in shock as they were met with a truly unusual, and frightening, sight. Laying on the ground, right in front of her, was a gigantic creature. The unicorn was at a loss for words, she had never before seen a creature quite like this. The creature was extremely big, far larger than the Ursa that broke her horn. But what was even stranger still, was that this creature seemed to resemble a gigantic dark butterfly or moth than anything else. The color of it's gigantic wings, which rested on the ground, was a mix of black, red and yellow. The same colors ran across it's rough-edged back and it's abdomen had a large pincer at the end. It's entire body was a dark-black color with six legs residing underneath it, the legs themselves had sharp claws useful for grabbing and holding. To add, it also had a menacing face with mandibles that resembled a sideways mouth with sharp teeth, and a pair of very small tusks between it's mandibles. Finally, the creature had three small, yellow horns on it's head and black eyes that seemed empty. This creature was the dark counterpart of Mothra and his name... was Battra! Out of curiosity, Tempest cautiously approached the divine moth's face, studying the creature as she did so. The unicorn was wise to keep her guard up, remembering the last time she had an encounter with a giant creature. But still, her curiosity about this unknown and mysterious creature was also quite strong. But this, however, soon changed - like a light bulb, Battra's seemingly empty eyes suddenly lightened up and glowed with a fierce crimson color, signaling that he had awoken! This immediately caused Tempest to aim her broken horn at him in defense. Getting up on his six legs and spreading his gigantic wings, Battra opened his mandibles and let out a roar that sounded very similar to Rodan's! After finishing his roar, Battra began scanning his surroundings. He looked around for a moment, before turning to the ground and spotting the unicorn with a broken horn - that's sparking with unstable magic - standing before him. "What are you..." Tempest couldn't help but ask while maintaining her defensive posture. > Monster in Filly's Clothing (short chapter) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well over twenty days had passed since the defeat of Dogora at the hands of Godzilla Junior and the Young Six, and many things had changed since then. Twilight's adoptive brother, Spike, went through a process called 'The Molt', and gained wings, enabling him to finally fly like other dragons. Although before that, he was extremely vulnerable to the Natural predators in Equestria, one of whom - a gigantic Bird of Prey called a Roc - tried eating Spike (along with Zecora and Rarity). But Godzilla Junior came just in time to drive the Roc off with his much larger size and Heat Ray. Maud Pie had also gotten a boyfriend named 'Mudbriar', who had a fascination with sticks. And the Young Six faced and conquered their fears that the Tree of Harmony (who had become sentient) put them through, to test their friendship. A new student had also joined the School of Friendship, a pegasus filly named 'Cozy Glow'. With the help of Godzilla and Mothra, the ponies repaired the damage Dogora had done to the School of Friendship, and also helped reconstruct the bridge that connected Manehattan to the Equestria mainlands. The former villain Discord was also introduced to Godzilla and the the other kaiju. Although understandably shocked at first, Discord quickly warmed up to them, even using his magic to enlarge himself to be the same size as Godzilla, at which point he and Godzilla shook claws. The Mane Six were rather surprised by this, as they expected Godzilla to be at least a little annoyed by Discord's mischief. But surprisingly enough, the Monster King wasn't the least bit annoyed by the Lord of Chaos. During these last few days, a dragon named 'Sludge' came to the Castle of Friendship, and claimed to be Spike's biological father. Spike (obviously) overjoyed by this, began showing Sludge all around the castle, feed him delicious foods and giving him comfortable beds to sleep in. Though during these times, Sludge behavior was nothing like a father's should be, and it was becoming hard to believe that he was really Spike's father. Unfortunately, these suspicions were proven correct when the Elias read Sludge's mind and discovered his true motives: As it turned out, Sludge was merely pretending to be Spike's father in order to live a life of castle luxury, leaving the young dragon extremely heartbroken by this deception. Sludge argued that 'that' was simply what any dragon would have done - a point of view that Smolder strongly disagreed on. Sludge then proceeded to leave with Spike's pillow, but was stopped by Godzilla Junior, who gave Sludge a deadly glare and a fierce growl. Extremely frightened by the infuriated kaiju, Sludge quickly returned Spike's pillow and flew off in fear. Also during these days, a new kaiju appeared. The turtle kaiju, Kamoebas, appeared near in Sire's Hollow, the home of Stellar Flare (Sunburst's mother) and Firelight (Starlight's father). There, Kamoebas made Sire's Hollow his territory, much to the discomfort of most of it's residents, including Stellar and Firelight. Though Starlight and Sunburst assured them that Kamoebas will not attack them. Finally, Twilight Sparkle introduced Godzilla to Star Swirl the Bearded and the rest of the Pillars, who all happily accepted him and his allies, especially after hearing how he saved them and Equestria on multiple occasions. ... But much more recently, a very strange phenomenon began occurring in Equestria itself. The magic of all the magical creatures and magical artifacts in Equestria mysteriously began vanishing without any explanation. Star Swirl the Bearded estimated that all the magic in Equestria will be completely gone in three days. Of course, all the kaiju were unaffected due to them lacking any magic and not originating in Equestria. The possibility of Tirek being behind this was brought up, and Twilight volunteered to got to Tartarus along with her friends, to see if he was truly behind this phenomenon. ... School of Friendship Twilight and her friends were preparing to for their long journey to Tartarus. "Okay, I left you my lesson plan on my student files, and my sieves notes." Twilight said to Starlight as she packed her bags and exited her office. "If anything goes wrong, get Celestia or Godzilla Junior, you know how he likes to help." She said with a giggle. "Yeah, I know." Starlight also giggled. But then, Twilight suddenly got a very uneasy and nervous look on her face. "Or maybe I should just close the school and send my students home?" She asked with an uneasy smile as she began turning around, only to be stopped by Starlight. "Would you go and save Equestria, already?" Starlight sighed with a smile as she turned Twilight the other way. Everypony gathered as Spike came with his own bag. "Okay, Cozy packed us all up for a trip to 'Bad Guy Central'." He said as Cozy herself came and gave them seven bags. "Don't forget the sandwiches!" Cozy said. "Just in case." She then leaned in and whispered to Spike... "Starlight can't stand mustard." She playfully said, causing Starlight to grin nervously "That's so sweet of you, Cozy." Starlight said with a smile. "But Twilight has asked me to stay here to run the school." She said as Twilight smiled happily. Cozy. however, now looked disappointed as she looks down. "Oh, I thought that after what happened last time-". "If she survived Discord, anything else is a piece of cake." He quickly informed her with a smile before walking off. Cozy turned to Twilight and Starlight sadly, while also doing the 'puppy-dog-eyes'. "Plus, she'll have you to help her." Twilight suddenly added. After hearing this, Cozy quickly brightened up with excitement and joy. "Oh, golly yes!" She exclaimed happily as she hovered in excitement. "I promise, I'll be the best assistant ever!" She quickly flew to Starlight. "Come on! We can start working on your substituted headmare plans right now, if you like." Starlight looked a little surprised by this. "Woah, uh... Okay." With that, she began following Cozy. Twilight turned to Spike with a confident smile. "See? Nothing to worry about!" But it didn't last very long before she quickly got a worrisome look again, and quickly grabbed him, "Tell me there's nothing to worry about!" She whispered worriedly. But then quickly came to her senses, and released him while smiling nervously. Spike simply face-palmed. ... Outside, the Mane Six and Spike had just exited the School of Friendship, and were ready for their long journey to Tartarus. But before they could even take a step... "Princess Twilight Sparkle, please hold on!" The voices of The Elias exclaimed inside their heads, catching everyone by surprise as they quickly halted. "Oh, hey Elias!" Twilight greeted them. "What's going on?" "We have heard about the phenomenon of your world's magic disappearing, and we know who is behind it all!" "Yeah, we know." Rainbow Dash said. "We're going to Tartarus and see what Tirek has to say about it." "You misunderstand. The one called 'Tirek' is not truly stealing the magic. He is working with someone in your school! Someone in your school has betrayed you, and is stealing your magic!" Shocked and horrified gasps of disbelief escaped the Mane Six and Spike after hearing this; Someone in their School of Friendship actually plotting against them? But there was no time to let that fully sink in, as Twilight immediately asked... "Who?!" She practically shouted. "Who would do such a thing?" At first, the Elias seemed a bit hesitant to say the traitor's name. But they eventually do so... "Twilight, the betrayer is none other... than Cozy Glow." Even more shocked gasps escaped the Mane Six and the little dragon! Cozy Glow, one of Twilight's most trusted students and the one who's currently assisting Starlight, betraying them and working with Tirek all this time!? It was more than Twilight, or any of her friends, could handle or believe! "Cozy Glow is behind all this?!" Twilight asked in absolute shock and disbelief at the unexpected revelation. "That's impossible!" Rarity exclaimed. "That's sweet little darling would never do such a thing." "Yeah!" Pinkie exclaimed suddenly. "And maybe you're the one who's stealing magic and trying to frame Cozy!" This, however, earned her sighs from the rest of her friends. "We have read Cozy's mind and looked into her heart. She is not who she claims she is. She believes that Friendship is power, and believes the more friends she makes, the more powerful she will become. She is planning to take over your School of Friendship and rule Equestria." The Mane Six and Spike were still unable to believe this, they simply were not able to. They were almost like statues as they stood there without moving (with shocked faces) trying to process and understand what they had just heard from their other-worldly friends. "To show you the truth, we will allow you hear all the thoughts Cozy Glow has had." With that, the Elias began transferring all of Cozy's past and present thoughts in the Mane Six and Spike, allowing them to hear what she was actually thinking all this time. After no more than seven seconds, everypone gasped in shock and horror to what they had just heard inside their heads! "We have to get back!" Twilight quickly exclaimed. ... Back inside the school, Cozy was walking (or rather, flying) with Starlight through the hallway. "Say, Starlight, I wanna show you something later, if that's okay." Cozy said with a smile. "Sounds great, Cozy!" Starlight said with a smile of her own. "And I think you're really gonna like it!" Cozy added. "Stop right there!" A voice from behind suddenly called out, causing Starlight and Cozy to stop and turn around - to see Twilight and her friends standing there. Both ponies (especially Cozy) looked at the Mane Six and Spike in surprise. "Twilight, what are you doing here? I thought you were heading to Tartarus to see if Tirek has anything to do with the magic disappearing." Starlight said in confusion. "Trust me, Starlight," Twilight said as she began walking up to them before stopping. "The culprit who's stealing magic is right there!" She pointed at Cozy Glow with her hoof - who became even more shocked. At this point, Sandbar, Gallus, Yona, Smolder, Ocellus and Silverstream came to the scene, having overheard Twilight's loud exclaim. "What's going on here?" Smolder asked. "Cozy Glow was plotting against us all this time." Twilight began. "She was secretly writing letters to Tirek, asking him how to steal magic from Equestria. Because she's planning to take over The School of Friendship and later Equestria!" Gasps from everyone besides the Mane Six and Spike filled the entire hallway. Cozy herself looked completely shocked and dumbfounded, but then quickly puts on a sad and emotionally hurt look. "T-Twilight, whatever are you talking about?" She asked, acting innocent. "Why are you doing this?" "Don't play innocent!" Rainbow Dash threatened. "You think you're pretty clever, don't you? But guess what? We have friends that can read minds, and they just read yours!" Cozy's face now turned into complete and utter shock at hearing this. With that, Twilight smiled. "Elias, if you please..." The voices of the Elias quickly reply... "With pleasure, Twilight." Then, every single creature in the School of Friendship (including Cozy herself) suddenly began hearing Cozy's voice in their heads. "Heh, nopony will suspect that sweet, little me is behind the magic disappearing! With Twilight and her ridiculous friends out of the way, I just need to get rid of Starlight. Then, with no other pony in the way, I'll drain all the magic from Equestria and suck it into another realm! And then, everyone will bow to me! The future Empress of Friendship! What? Why are they back so soon? If they find out about my plan, they'll ruin everything! What?! How do they know about my plan? And how do they know about Tirek? No! That's impossible!" Everyone in the School of Friendship was now left in a state of utter speechlessness and shock by this. The cat was out of the bag! Every single creature in the School of Friendship now knew of Cozy's true nature and her sinister intentions! Cozy (who also heard all this) was also left completely speechless, as were the Young Six and Starlight Glimmer. "Now then, Cozy Glow, let's see you talk your way out of this one. If you can, that is." Twilight said as she glared at her. "Cozy, how could you?" Starlight asked as she turned to her, very hurt and heartbroken at the revelation of Cozy's deception. Cozy Glow angrily gritted her teeth, as she knew that there was no chance to talk her way out of this. Finally dropping the innocent act, Cozy gained a sinister and evil smile on her face. "Yes, that's right!" She finally admitted, sounding nothing like she did before. "I came to realize that Friendship is power! The more friends I collect, the better and more powerful I become than everypone else! And I'll have more friends than anypony ever could!" She finished while maintaining her evil smile. "You're wrong." The voices of the Elias suddenly reply. "Indeed, Friendship is very powerful. But you are not making friends. You do not even understand the meaning and concept of friendship! True friends care and respect one another, and their interests. You care for no one but yourself! You are but delusional! What you claim is 'Friendship' is actually nothing more than manipulation and tyranny. So, in the end, you, Cozy Glow, are nothing more than a selfish, power-hungry pony who cares for no one but yourself. You are nothing more than that, and nothing less." Cozy glared hatefully and gritted her teeth. Without any warning, she quickly turned and began flying in the opposite direction, in a desperate attempt to escape! "Oh, no you don't!" Smolder exclaimed as she and Silverstream quickly took off after her with blinding speed! Before Cozy knew what hit her, both Smolder and Silverstream grabbed her by surprise and brought her to the ground! "Let me go!" Cozy exclaimed while struggling to futilely escape. "I don't think so!" Smolder shot back. Twilight and the rest of her friends approach Cozy as Smolder and Silverstream held her. "Tell us how to get our magic back!" Twilight demanded. Cozy simply laughed at her. "Ha! I won't tell you anything! You'll never get your magic back!" "There is no need to. We have already read your mind, Cozy, and know how to reverse this." ... After chaining Cozy up and asking the students to keep an eye on her, the Elias lead the Mane Six, Spike and Starlight to the catacombs under the school library, where they found an elaborate crystal chamber. There, they also found the six artifacts the students collected during their scavenger hunt, and they were placed around a glowing circle on the ground, with large blue-colored orb floating above it. "This must be what's sucking up all the magic." Twilight said, looking at the orb. "Right. Cozy must have linked these artifacts to act like a mystical magnet." Starlight surmised. "Attracting all the magic in Equestria into that orb." "So then I guess removing the artifacts will shut it down, right?" Rainbow asked hopefully. "Yes, but there's also a chance that it will cause a magical feedback and destroy the whole school." Starlight added uneasily, putting everyone in shock. Twilight was especially shocked to hear this. The School of Friendship was everything she worked for - to teach others about friendship, to bring them closer. It was a difficult choice to make, but she knew what the right thing to do was.. "We don't have a choice. We have to do this." She stated firmly and definitively. "It's the only way." Her friends looked at her, and nodded. They all knew that she was right, and that there truly was no other way. "Let's do this!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. With that, each of the Mane Six quickly grabbed one of the artifacts and lifted it, causing the orb to levitate higher and shrink in size. With no time to waste, the Mane Six quickly removed the artifacts, causing the orb to glow with a bright, white light... before... A powerful wave of energy was unleashed, like a bomb going off! ... As the wave emerged from the School of Friendship and began spreading all over Equestria, it gave every magical creature and artifact their magic back when it passed them! ... Back inside the school, the Young Six were in the hallway with the chained-up Cozy Glow, waiting for their friends. "Face it!" Cozy began bragging. "Twilight and the others will never get the magic-" But before she could finish, Twilight and her friends teleported before them in a flash of purple light, much to Cozy's dismay. "You were saying?" Gallus smugly turned to her. "It's over." Twilight confirmed with a smile. "We got our magic back." She then turned to Cozy. "Oh, and one more thing: The Elias also informed Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Chancellor Neighsay about your plan, and their on their way here to take you to Tartarus." With her master plan completely foiled, the enraged Cozy simply glared at her and sneered, before saying "Don't think you've seen the last of me, 'cause I'll be back!" She then turned. "And you, Elias! If you can hear me, know this: I will get out, and I will be coming for you!" She angrily declared. ... After a few more minutes, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Neighsay arrived, along with many Royal Guards, to escort Cozy Glow to Tartarus, where she was locked in a cage next to her 'pen pal' Tirek, for her betrayal and crimes. After Cozy Glow's deception was revealed to everyone in Equestria, Neighsay deeply apologized to Twilight, The Elias and all of non-pony creatures (including Godzilla and the other kaiju) for being so judgmental, and for not seeing the true value of friendship. He finally admitted that Twilight was perfect for this job. ... The next day Twilight was currently in her office, talking to the Elias via telepathy. "I can't thank you enough, Elias!" She said happily while sitting on her chair. "Without you, I don't know how things would have went. I still can't believe that Cozy Glow was plotting against us all this time." "We apologize, Twilight Sparkle." A look of confusion appeared on Twilight's face. "Why are you apologizing? You helped us save Equestria by showing us Cozy's true intentions." "That is precisely the reason, Twilight. When Cozy Glow first came to your school, we sensed darkness within her heart. We did not wish to believe it, but our fears were confirmed when we read her mind and looked into her heart. We should have warned you sooner about her." But Twilight simply laughed it off. "Oh don't worry about that. The fact that you warned us about Cozy is all that matters, and I'm very thankful for it." The Elias' voices could be heard chuckling. "You are far too kind, Twilight Sparkle. It is no wonder why you are the Princess of Friendship." Twilight chuckled to herself. ... Somewhere else Far away from the School of Friendship, in another part of Equestria. Mothra's dark reflection, Battra, was hovering in the sky - flapping in his enormous wings to stay airborne - well above the ground below. Then, Battra's pupiless, crimson-colored eyes suddenly changed to a purplish-color... before a pair of Prism Beams shot from his eyes! The Prism Beams shot downwards - heading towards the ground below, where a large pack of Timberwolves was residing. Upon contact, all of the Timberwolves were completely vaporized and reduce to ashes in a matter of seconds by the two beams! After Battra finished his attack, he turned and flew down to the ground, to meet up with his partner... Tempest Shadow. Upon landing on the ground, Tempest looked at him, and gave Battra a scolding look. "You know, I would've been more than able to take care of those walking piles of sticks." Tempest said with a somewhat annoyed tone. Battra simply responded with a low chirp. "I know your way was faster, but you know that I'm not some damsel in distress." Tempest scolded again, not wanting Battra to think that she was weak. If Battra had pupils, he would have rolled his eyes. After that was over, Tempest gained a more serious expression on her face as she looked Battra in the eyes. "So..." She began. "You're saying that this thing's coming here?" The Divine Moth responded with another low chirp and a nod. The broken-horned unicorn looked down, unsure what to make of this. But if what Battra 'said' was true, then she and every creature in Equestria (perhaps even the world) will be in the fight for their lives. "Guess we have no choice then. Let's go." With that, Battra lowered his head, allowing Tempest to climb on top of his head. Then, with a flap from his gigantic wings, Battra (with Tempest on his head) took to the sky and flew off. > The Beginning of the End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Already an entire year had passed since the latest events in Equestria. The Elias were still searching for a way to return Godzilla and the other kaiju home, but with very little hope of that ever coming to fruition. But fortunately, things had been getting better and better between the kaiju and the natives of Equestria; throughout the entire year, there had been many good things happening, such as educations about the kaiju, teaching the kaiju more about friendship and coexistence when they return to their world. Godzilla and some of his allies were beginning to wonder if returning to Earth was even necessary, considering that Equestria for them was practically a paradise; never having to be annoyed or attacked by bothersome humans, never having to worry about confrontations and other similar manners. Another strange effect began to occur as a result of the kaiju's presence in the land: Overtime, wherever the kaiju went, the areas that they visited began to become rich with new and unique plant life. The exact reasoning for this is unclear (even to the Elias), but it's speculated that the radiation from the kaiju, infused with the natural magic of Equestria, is causing this. This has proven to be beneficial for the inhabitants (especially the ponies) of Equestria, as the new plants have provided them with renewable resources and even super foods! Sweet Apple Acres is better than it ever has before thanks to the kaiju's presence — all of the crops (especially apples) in the family farm have grown bigger and healthier than ever, and with a much sweeter taste & flavor. Applejack and her family were making huge profit thanks to their newer and better crops, far better than they ever had before, and it helped that their new crops were also now practically endless. The waters of Seaquestria and around Mount Aris were teeming with all sorts of sea animals and plants thanks to the new coral reefs, which grew because of Titanosaurus' presence. The area around Appleloosa practically became a rainforest, as not only did their apple orchards become healthier and more ripe (which also made for better pies), but the small town was surrounded by newly-grown plant life, which offered even more food and resources. Even better still, these new resources and foods also benefited the Buffalo tribe. Similarly, the village of where Starlight lived (Our Town) was also engulfed with new flora that was grown because of Anguirus' presence when he first arrived there. And with it, new resources and healthy foods came to the ponies who lived there. Some of the new plants that were grown were made into perfumes (which Rarity loved), Breezies came more often to collect pollen from the new flowers that were grown by the kaiju, and new leaves were discovered to have healing properties, something which Zecora and Mage Meadowbrook took interest of. In addition to Godzilla and his allies keeping the other kaiju in check, Star Swirl the Bearded created a new spell specifically for the kaiju, which he named 'The Titan Spell'. The Titan Spell is preformed by creating a series of unusual sounds via magic — these sounds seem bizarre to the ears of ponies and most other Equestrian creatures, but to the kaiju they mean quite a lot. If used correctly, the sounds can repel kaiju from a specific area or attract them to one. Although this spell has a different effect on certain individuals; while some kaiju will leave when hearing the sound, other kaiju interpret it as a challenge, and may become hostile to it. But for the most part, the ponies and other inhabitants of Equestria have apparently developed a symbiotic mutualistic relationship with the kaiju that benefited both parties — It was almost like they were meant for each other, like bees and flowers. Canterlot But today, things were not looking so great — at least not for Twilight Sparkle. She could barely catch her breath as she was racing for Canterlot alongside Spike (who was flying alongside her). Once she reached the gates of Canterlot, where her five friends were waiting, they all quickly joined her and began racing as fast as they could to meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. As they were doing so, they couldn't help but wonder what the reason for summoning them could be. "We're all here, so-" Fluttershy quickly got interrupted by Twilight. "So everypony got an urgent summons to the castle with no explanation?" Twilight asked uneasily as they continued racing. "Yup! I just love a good mysterious summons. What's it about? Do you think it's a surprise party? Hey! Why are we running?" Pinkie Pie asked happily (as usual). "Because something could be terribly wrong! Somepony turned bad? Another evil creature back for revenge?!" Then the worst came to Twilight's mind. "Or what if it's another monster from Godzilla's world?!" She cringes at the last one. "Minus the last one, don't you think you're bein' a little paranoid?" Applejack asked, although she still could not deny the possibility of another kaiju attacking Equestria. "Besides, even if another shows up, Big G will take care of it." Rainbow Dash said coolly. At the moment, anything was possibly for this summoning, but a giant monster attacking was the worst possibly scenario. So far from what the inhabitants of Equestria had seen, most of the kaiju were unbelievable powerful creatures that could not be defeated without the aid of another kaiju, no matter how hard they tried. "But still, why else would the Princesses send scrolls in such a hurry?" Twilight retorted. "Good point." Rarity said. "They know better than to make us worry." ... Finally, the Mane Six and Spike arrived at throne room of Princess Lune and Princess Celestia. The two Rulers of Equestria were sitting calmly on their respective thrones while the Mane Six and young dragon struggled to catch their breaths from all that running (and flying). "Girls. Thank you so much for coming." Princess Celestia said with a smile. "What's wrong?! What can we do?! Is it another giant monster?!" Twilight quickly asked, already fearing the worst. "That's just it. Nothing's wrong! Everything's perfect!" Princess Luna responded with a happy smile, much like Celestia. "Did y'all call us down here just to tell us that?" Applejack asked in disbelief. "With all due respect, majesties, you might want to save your urgent summons for matters that are a bit more... well, urgent!" Rarity added with a nervous smile. The two Princesses looked at one other before giggling, seemingly in amusement. "Well, there is more to it." Princess Luna said. "Equestria is currently enjoying its longest period of harmony in recent years. Even with the all giant creatures still roaming Equestria, Godzilla and his friends are keeping them in check." "In fact, thanks to their presence, Godzilla and most of the other creatures have made Equestria an even better land!" Princess Celestia added with a happy smile. "With all the new foods and resources that have grown because of them, nopony or creature will ever go hungry again." "And of course, it is also thanks to you and your friends' efforts as well, Twilight." Princess Luna also added. At this, Twilight and her friends smiled proudly. "Who? Us?" Spikes asked coolly. "Oh, pshaw." Rarity giggled "It's about time you noticed." Rainbow Dash said. "Because of your and Godzilla's efforts, there's been less and less for us to do." Princess Luna said. "So, after much consideration," Princess Celestia stood up from her throne before continuing to speak."My sister and I have decided it is time for us... to retire!" The moment Princess Celestia said this, Twilight and her friends gasped in shock, disbelief and even horror, at what they just heard. But they weren't alone, Celestia and Luna's looks also suddenly turned to sadness and uneasiness, similar to the Mane Six's current ones. "However-" But before Celestia could finish her sentence, Discord suddenly teleported in the room, in a reporter outfit, and with an extremely exited look on his face. "Breaking news! The royal Princesses retiring! I have so many questions!" Teleporting in front of Celestia's face, he asks "Who'll take over? Who will run Equestria? Will it be someone tall, dark, and handsome? Or will it be the Lord of Chaos?" Discord asked excitedly, with multiple floating hands materializing and pointing at himself. Of course, Princess Celestia calmly smiled and pointed her hoof down at Twilight, much to Discord's disappointment. "Oh, fine. Go with the obvious choice." Discord sighed. "As I was saying," Celestia cleared her throat. "I have some other news that I wish to discuss. Recently, our friends, the Elias, have contacted us and informed us... that they have finally found a way to send Godzilla and the other creatures home." Even more gasps from the Mane Six and Spike filled the room, even Discord joined their shocked expression this time. "Whao. I did not see that coming." The Lord of Chaos muttered in surprise. Twilight Sparkle herself was the most shocked out of all of them. These were two significant news in less than a minute tat she just received, and it was a miracle that she didn't faint upon hearing them. The Princesses retiring, and Godzilla and his friends finally leaving Equestria? "You're retiring?!" She exclaimed. "And Godzilla is leaving?!" Spike also exclaimed with a tone that exactly matched Twilight's. "Yes, and unfortunately... yes." Princess Luna said with a bit of sadness in her voice at the end of her sentence. "While it is alright for us to retire, we are not sure how we will cope with our friends leaving us." "While I am a little disappointed with Celestia picking Twilight over me, I'm downright depressed about Big G going away." Discord said with a surprisingly sincere tone. It wasn't since he betrayed the ponies to Tirek (who in turn betrayed him) did Discord feel this sad and uneasy — and that alone was certainly saying something. "So you want me to take your place?" Twilight asked calmly and sadly while pointing at herself. Normally, she would have said this sentence with an extremely horrified face and loud tone due to her insecurities and self-doubt issues about ruling Equestria, but hearing that Godzilla and the others were going to leave forever, made the Princess of Friendship feel far more depressed than insecure. After all the wonderful times she and her friends had with him and the good things he's done for them, she might even have accepted Celestia and Luna's roles without hesitation if it meant he can stay. "With the help of your friends, of course." Princess Celestia added. Spreading her wings and flying down, Celestia continued. "We can't think of anypony more worthy. Over the years, we've watched you grow. You've faced task after task..." "...challenge after challenge..." Princess Luna added as she also flied down. "And you've always prevailed." Celestia said with a smile. "Thank you, but... While I'm—while we're okay with taking your place, we're not sure if we can deal with Godzilla leaving us." Twilight said in a depressed tone. This, in turn, caused the Princesses to feel somewhat depressed, as well. For all the times Godzilla and his friends have helped Equestria, even they couldn't hold back their sadness. Godzilla and his allies did such well in Equestria (and in their own world), it basically mirrored all the good deeds and tasks Twilight had accomplished with her friends. "We know how you feel, Princess Twilight Sparkle..." The unmistakable voices of The Elias were suddenly heard. "Elias..." Twilight called in surprise. "Are Godzilla, Mothra and the other creatures really going home?" Fluttershy asked sadly. "Please tell me they aren't." Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "We're taking the roles of the Princesses, and now Godzilla and the his friends are leaving us?!" "Unfortunately, that is so." Everyone in the room (including Discord) began to feel a sense of depression flow through their bodies. Normally, Twilight's friends would have been extremely excited about taking the roles of the two rulers of Equestria, but hearing Godzilla and their other kaiju friends will leave made them feel empty on the inside about ruling Equestria — like there was no point in doing it. To them, friendship was far more important than anything, even more so than becoming rulers of Equestria. "Please understand, Princess Twilight Sparkle. You are the Princess of Friendship, and as such, you must also know what is best for your friends..." "Even if that 'best thing' is having them leave...forever..." Twilight said sadly as she lowered her head. "Yes... I know." The room was filled with silence and slight despair, but there was no denying it, Godzilla and the other kaiju had to be returned home. And while they have proven to be beneficial and helpful to Equestria and its inhabitants in more than a few ways, they had to be returned home to keep the humans in check, and to keep their birth world safe. And besides, not all the kaiju have been as peaceful and benevolent as Godzilla — King Ghidorah being a good example. Twilight herself knew, that if she and her friends had been placed in the same situation as Godzilla — being sent to a parallel world and doing good things for that world, but also needing to be returned home, in order to protect their own world, as well. "But worry not, Twilight. It will take us some time before Godzilla and the others are returned home. You will have more than enough time to say goodbye to them. And perhaps even throw a party for them?" Hearing this, made Twilight and her friends perk up more than a little bit, with smiles forming on their faces. At least they will all have some more good times and fun before they leave. And who knows, when they become rulers of Equestria and have the Princesses' powers transferred to themselves, they might find a way to at least communicate with Godzilla and the other kaiju in their home world via dreams or other similar ways. "Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, we will be more than happy to start whenever you say." Twilight said with a calm smile. "You don't have to wait very long, Twilight. We just need a few days to transfer our powers to you." Princess Celestia said with a smile of her own. "Not a problem, we're ready at anytime." Twilight calmly said. Again, Twilight normally would have been extremely nervous and stressed-out upon hearing that the process will be that fast, but knowing that they will have more than enough time to be with Godzilla, and throw a party for him before they leave, placed Twilight in such a happy and joy-filled state, that it nullified her stressfulness. For her, having Godzilla properly treated as an ally and friend of Equestria so he will always be remembered by them and all the good he's done, was far more important. "Wow. I honestly expected you to flip-out or something like that, at this point." Discord said, teleporting near Twilight and extremely surprised over her unusual calmness in this situation. "Well, I would have. But knowing we can still spend these final months with Godzilla and his friends, and make the greatest party for them to remember us by... I guess... I guess it just removed any stress and self-doubt I might have had." Twilight replied with a joyful smile. "Much to my disappointment..." Discord whispered quietly to himself — but not quietly enough. "What was that?" Twilight sharply turned to him with a stern look. "Nothing! Nothing!" Discord quickly placed an innocent smile on his face to hide what he said a second ago. Meanwhile, somewhere in a forest, the evil former queen of the changelings, Chrysalis, is talking to pieces of wood with carved changeling faces on them, as she has become increasingly unhinged and unstable due to her solitude. Throughout these many months, all she even thought of was exacting revenge on the ponies (especially Starlight Glimmer) for stealing her hive and turning her subjects against her. "One day, you'll see! I will defeat Twilight Sparkle and her friends!" Chrysalis chuckled crazily. "And they will pay for stealing my kingdom!" However, as she picked up another piece of wood and carved a changeling face on it with her magic, Chrysalis suddenly disappeared in a flash of blue light. Tartarus In Tartarus, an prison for all the most dangerous and malevolent creatures in Equestria, the evil centaur, Tirek, and his 'companion' Cozy Glow, were still serving their imprisonment sentences; locked in separate cages, guarded by Cerberus the giant three-headed dog, and with nothing else to do besides carve tally marks on their walls. Though Cozy constantly tried to 'befriend' Tirek, she has only succeeded in annoying the centaur. "Hey, Tirek!" Cozy Glow called out to Tirek cheerfully. "It is Lord Tirek." The tyrant centaur corrected her before turning to face her. "And what is it now?" "I just wanna make sure you can see my best friends rock sculpture from over there!" Cozy happily pointed at the sculpture of her riding him, which was made of pebbles. Still annoyed, Tirek simply turned around and continued carving his tally marks, but he too suddenly disappeared in the same manner as Chrysalis did, followed by the now-shocked Cozy Glow, who also vanished in a flash of blue light, leaving both of their cages empty. Unknown location Tirek and Cozy Glow appeared in a strange cavern, atop a tall pillar... and they weren't alone. Not soon after, Chrysalis also appeared on another pillar close to theirs. "Lord Tirek!" Chrysalis exclaimed in surprise the moment she noticed and quickly recognized the tyrannical centaur. "A changeling?" Tirek also appeared surprised to see her before he turned to Cozy. "See? She gets it." "Chrysalis, queen of the changelings! Or at least I will be," Chrysalis began boasting and gloating while climbing down the stairs, just as Tirek and Cozy do. "When I'm restored to my rightful place! Why did you summon me? What do you want?!" She asked threateningly as her twisted horn began glowing with a green aura. "Wah!" Cozy Glow quickly hid behind Tirek's leg, seemingly frightened by her. "Oh, golly! We didn't bring you! I thought you freed us from Tartarus!" She said with an innocent smile. "Tartarus? Whoever pulled you from there must have been somepony very powerful indeed." Chrysalis remarked while her horn stopped glowing. "Not somepony... some creature." A new and sinister voice called out. The three villains instantly turned their attention to an entrance cave of where the new voice came, and a mysterious creature slowly walks (or crawls) out of the darkness. The creature himself looked very bizarre to say the least: The upper half was somewhat humanoid (having two arms, a chest and a head) but was also covered in a bluish exoskeleton similar to that of a crustacean, coupled with the fact that it only had three sharp claws on its 'hands', and its head closely resembled that of a spider, with six pupiless eyes that were blue in color and mandibles instead of a mouth. But the lower half of his body resembled that of a crab, with six long like legs that it used to walk (or rather, crawl) towards them. "It was I who summoned you here!" The creature said as he approached them. "You may call me Nulucus. I am from the M Space Hunter Nebula." The three villains looked at Nulucus in confusion before looking at themselves and then back at him. "What's a Space Nebula?" Cozy Glow was the first to speak in the presence of the arthropod-like creature. "The M Space Hunter Nebula is the nebula that contains my home planet." Nulucus explained. "I am what you might call, an 'alien'." The villains now looked even more intrigued and surprised at the drider-like alien standing before them. For being centuries-old villains (at least Tirek and Chrysalis were) and having seen a lot of things in their long lives, they honestly couldn't help bu feel surprised at seeing something they have heard about before, but never actually seen it. "And why have you summoned us here?" Chrysalis asked, going straight to the point. "I have summoned you here to help you all fulfill your common desires for revenge against the ponies: Twilight Sparkle and her friends." Nulucus answered with a menacing tone and clenching his fist. There was practically no end to the ways Nulucus managed to surprise and impress the three villains. "But why would you want to aid us?" Asked Tirek, folding his arms and getting suspicious. "What's in it for you?" "If you help me succeed, you will all have Equestria in your power, and I will collect Godzilla and the other monsters, and return to my world." Nulucus answered calmly. He then created a small orb composed of blue-colored energy in his claw before tossing it over to Tirek. At which point, upon merely touching him, the energy sphere instantly rejuvenated the centaur into his younger-looking and muscular form. Tirek looked at his new self in shock, before that same shock quickly turned to excitement as he proudly kissed his biceps. Chrysalis and Cozy Glow were also very much stunned and impressed by Nulucus' display of power, and knew that it would be unwise for them to try and attack him as it was. "So~... you're saying you don't want to rule Equestria?" Cozy asked curiously. "No." Nulucus confirmed. "I only need you all to destroy Twilight and her friends, while I harvest Godzilla and the other monsters for myself. After we are finished, you can have Equestria to do with it as you please and I will return to my own world. Not a bad deal, is it?" The villains looked at one another again and back to him — Nulucus was right! This did sound like a pretty mutual deal for them, except for one problem... "But how do you propose we do that?" Tirek once again asked. "We're not exactly known for 'sharing'." He said with a mocking gesture. Chrysalis and Cozy were quick to agree with the centaur. "I know the secret to Twilight and her friend's victories, and how they constantly prevail." Nulucus stated, folding his arms. "The secret to their victories is teamwork! They work together and have trust in one another, that is how they prevail!" He explained before pointing a claw at them. "You can use that very same strategy to defeat them — and I will teach you how to do that without succumbing to the disease that is friendship." "Wait! You're saying that villains like us can work together as a team, without becoming friends?" Cozy Glow asked with a evil smile, already liking the idea. "Of course!" Nulucus confirmed. "While you all may despise each other and even try to destroy one another when you have Equestria for yourselves, you still share a common hatred for Twilight Sparkle and her friends. You'd like nothing more than to see them suffer in agony and pain! To inflict the worst possible harm upon them so they will know what torment feels like!" Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow grin sadistically, they were already beginning to like Nulucus — or at least, the way he thinks. They've just met Nulucus, and he has already gotten their interest and made them listen without having to threaten them with violence, one could instinctively tell that Nulucus was an extremely skilled being for managing to 'tame' three of Equestria's most dangerous and vile villains like that. "I like the way you think, Nulucus." Chrysalis grinned evilly. Nulucus nodded before pulling a bluish crystal and holding it in his claw. "Now then, before we begin, it is important to show you the power of Godzilla and the other monsters. With them on the ponies' side, we would stand no chance, even if we work together. Therefore, I will send one particular monster as a test subject... and a warning." With that the crystal started glowing with a bright blue color as Nulucus lifted it in the air. School of Friendship Twilight was currently in her office, along with Spike who was cleaning, making preparations for Princess Celestia and Luna's retirement. But the one thing that was different about her today was the fact that she was unusually calm; in this type of situation, Twilight would normally be spiraling of self-doubt uncontrollably, often needing the reassurance of her friends to calm her down and ease her. But this wasn't the case, Twilight was unusually relaxed and calm about taking the role of the two rulers of Equestria. The reason why she was so unusually calm, however, was solely because of Godzilla. Upon hearing that he and their other kaiju friends will be leaving Equestria and returning home, her depression overwhelmed her nervousness and self-doubt — for her, friendship was far more important than anything, even ruling Equestria. That's not to say that being in charge of Equestria was not important (it was extremely important), but with all the good things Godzilla has done for the land and themselves (i.e. saving them from villainous kaiju, and growing new recourse and better foods thanks to their radiation) the Princess of Friendship felt like she could not owe Godzilla enough or repay him enough for all the good that he's done in Equestria and all its inhabitants, no matter what she did; Godzilla deserved much more than just a party for his heroic actions. "Twi?" Starlight Glimmer called out as she entered the office. "You in here? With the school closed for the summer, I didn't think anypony would be here." "Starlight! I'm glad you came, because I have something special in mind for you." Twilight said with a smile as she turned to her. "Since Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are retiring, I'll need somepony to become headmare of the school and be in charge of my castle, and I can't think of anypony better to leave in charge than you." "What?!" Starlight's face almost immediately turned to that of horror, and she practically shouted. "You want me to to take care the castle and run the school? Me!?" "Yes!" Twilight answered excitedly. In a twist of irony, Starlight began acting very much like how Twilight would under pressure. "Uh... I can't! I'm not ready! Remember what happened the last time you left me in charge?! And now you want me to do it permanently?! What if I don't do the right things?! What if—?!" However, Starlight was immediately cut-off when she and Spike suddenly hear Twilight bursting into an uncontrollable laughter. Both Starlight and Spike look at the Princess of Friendship worriedly while she continued laughing hysterically and nearly fell off her chair while doing so. "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" "Um... Twilight, are you okay?" Spike asked worriedly while approaching her to see if something is wrong. "I'm fine, Spike... I'm fine." Twilight finally managed to compose herself. "It's just that Starlight reminded me of... well, myself." This took Starlight by surprise as she instantly realized what she just did and blushed in embarrassment because of it. "I can't believe I was the one who was 'Twilight-ing'. Heh. Talk about irony." "Oh, you're using the 'Twilight-ing' verb too, huh?" Twilight chuckled before giving her a calm and gentle look. "Starlight, listen: You have blossomed into one of the strongest, smartest, most caring ponies I know, and you've already proven that you're ready for this. You just have to believe in yourself." "You... You think so?" Starlight asked reluctantly, still very uneasy about this. "I know so." Twilight responded with a gentle smile. "She's been surprisingly calm recently." Spike whispered to Starlight. "I guess the news of Godzilla leaving took a bigger toll on her than we thought." If only Spike knew how Twilight truly felt... Kirin Village Somewhere outside the borders of Equestria, resided a small village that was populated by pony-like creatures known as kirins. Roughly two years ago, the kirins of this village lived in complete silence and with no emotions. The reason for this was because when kirins become angry, they transform into niriks, creatures who's bodies are partly composed of flames, and they burned their previous village to the ground. But thanks to the efforts of Applejack and Fluttershy, the kirins have learned how to keep their emotions under control, and Autumn Blaze (a kirin who found a way to cure herself) gave them the potion to cure all the other kirins, allowing them to speak and express their emotions once more. Unlike most of the other races by now, the kirins had almost no contact with the kaiju. But that was about to change... ... "So I said, 'why drop the gum when you can drop the bun'?" Autumn Blaze was currently on a stage, cracking jokes to her fellow kirins in their new outside comedy club. The other kirins laughed at her jokes, which made her feel even happier. It felt good to express happiness and joy again after such a long time of silence and emotionlessness — even their leader, Rain Shine, was getting in on the action. The kirins continued laughing as Autumn continued cracking her jokes. "You know what rhymes with 'reliant sponsor'?" Autumn asked, attempting to make another joke. "Giant monster!" A random kirin suddenly shouted loudly, startling the other kirins in the process. Autumn herself became confused a bit. "Yeah, that also kind of rhymes now that I think about it." She mused. "No. That!" The same kirin pointed farther East with her hoof. Confused at first, the other kirins turned to where she was pointing at, and understood why she was shouting like that. Their confused faces immediately turned to pale from shock and horror at what their eyes landed on. Standing at least 350 meters away from the Kirin Village itself, was a gigantic creature unlike any they've seen before. The monster itself resembled (more or less) a warped and deformed version of Godzilla. It had a massive hunched back and a small rectangular head, but its hands were extremely large in proportion to the body — so much so, that it had to use its knuckles to support its body — and with three long claws on each one. Its legs were rather short and the tail was quite stubby. The creature's body was bilaterally asymmetrical and irregular, with its skin taking on a bumpy uneven texture. Its eyes were a yellow color with no visible pupils, and its teeth were long and sharp. This mysterious kaiju was the Deformed Extraterrestrial, known simply as Orga! The kirins looked at the gigantic monster in understandable awe and disbelief, both at the fact that this was practically their first time seeing something like this and up-close, and the fact that they didn't even realize it was there the whole time without them noticing its presence earlier. Silence consumed the entire village, as all the kirins were paralyzed with fear at the sight of Orga, unable to even move. But the extraterrestrial kaiju will help them with that... With an mighty roar, Orga proceeded to head toward the Kirin Village like a raging storm coming towards them. The kirins, naturally, began panicking and screaming in terror at the approaching monster. Autumn Blaze herself, however, was the only kirin not to panic, and only looked at the approaching Orga with shock and disbelief. How did this happen? Just as they were finally having fun and joy after so many years of silence, they were met with a new (and far more terrifying) problem. But, just as hope seemed lost for them, an unexpected help arrived in the form of another giant monster. Without any warning, on the opposite side of the Kirin Village, the ground erupted like a volcano, and another giant creature emerged from beneath! This second monster was bipedal that stood on two legs, and resembled a across between a lion, a poodle and a primate. Its skin was armored, almost resembling stone, and dark brown in color, while its fur was a light tan. It had two muscular arms with three claws on each, and its face and head (surprisingly enough) resembled a cross between a gargoyle and a kirin, with long ears, a short lion-like tail, and gemstone-like eyes. This other kaiju was the brave Guardian of Okinawa: King Caesar! King Caesar had been transported in Equestria seven months prior to this event, and has been living near the Kirin Village without the knowledge of the kirins themselves. This was due to him spending his time underground hibernating. But the time for resting has ended now with Orga's arrival to his territory! The kirins turned and looked at King Caesar with more astonishment and awe than fear. While he wasn't exactly the cute or adorable, King Caesar appeared far more benevolent and less threatening than Orga. Without even giving him a chance to react, King Caesar suddenly leaped over the Kirin Village and landed in front of Orga, creating a small shock-wave and surprising both the monster and the kirins! The Guardian Monster was quick to attack, delivering two powerful punches to Orga's head, followed by a kick to the chest. These attacks, while powerful, were not nearly enough to seriously cripple the corrupt kaiju. Orga was quick to retaliate — lunging himself at the Guardian kaiju, the extraterrestrial bit down on King Caesar's left arm, sinking his sharp teeth through the armored skin! King Caesar roared in pain and proceeded to punch Orga's head with his free arm in an attempt to force him to release. Orga did not relent, and in a horrifying display of power, his own skin suddenly began taking on the stone-like texture of King Caesar's skin. And even more horrifying, a large hole began forming and opening on Orga's left shoulder. Finally, Orga released King Caesar's arm. But before King Caesar had the chance to fight back or do anything else for that matter, a blue light enveloped Orga's entire body... and caused him to vanish on the spot, shocking both King Caesar and the kirins even further! For Orga, there was no more need to fight... he got what he came for. "Well, that was... interesting, right?" Autumn Blaze asked her fellow kirins, attempting to keep some postivity after witnessing a battle between two kaiju. Considering this was their first time seeing a kaiju fight, their reactions were understandable. With the threat (seemingly) no longer present, King Caesar slowly turned around and looked at the kirins, who were looking at him in amazement at the display of his display of awesome power. But something else soon caught the Guardian of Okinawa's attention; looking up in the sky, King Caesar noticed a winged figure flying towards them. He couldn't tell what this was due to the figure itself being so far away (and above), but he narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, ready for another fight should the need arise. Seaquestria Deep in the darkest depths of Seaquestria, the mighty King of Monsters Godzilla was locked in an underwater showdown against a massive sea serpent-like creature! This aquatic kaiju that Godzilla was currently battling greatly resembled an Eastern dragon: Its body was extremely long (likely the longest of any kaiju) and snake-like, with four tiny legs and three claws on each one. Its head was adorned with four horns (greatly resembling a dragon's), and the scales that covered its body were bluish-green in color. In addition, the sea monster also had a small hood behind its head similar to a cobra, and four long barbs extending from the underside of its long body. This creature was the Sea Dragon: Manda! Manda had arrived in this world only a few hours ago, and almost immediately began to threaten Mount Aris and Seaquestria. Titanosaurus (who normally protected the kingdom from hostile kaiju) was absent at the moment due to exploring other parts of Equestria, but luckily Godzilla was also swimming in the area, and was more than willing to protect the populace, even from fellow Earth-kaiju who were not yet accustomed to living in Equestria. Much like a python or anaconda, Manda wrapped his long body around Godzilla, attempting to crush him in a manner similar to a snake constricting its prey. Manda had a surprising amount of strength and muscle in his body, enough to crush even the toughest of submarines with ease, or in this case, cause considerable pain to Godzilla as he tried to break free from Manda's coils. With his opponent tightly wrapped in his body, Manda proceeded to dive deeper and deeper, hoping the water pressure would aid him in crushing Godzilla. But Manda had dangerously underestimated his opponent: Godzilla's dorsal fins began flashing with a bright blue color, which was followed by the Monster King unleashing a strong Nuclear Pulse from his body that instantly unwrapped Manda and pushed him back! Realizing the situation, Manda was forced to resort into using his special ability — a powerful sonar-like attack known as the Supersonic Wave Canon. Turning his head to Godzilla, Manda began emitting a series of powerful ultra-sonic shock-waves through the water, stunning and paralyzing the Monster King the instant they hit him, much like how a dolphin would stun a fish with sonar! Taking advantage of this, Manda then proceeded to swim toward the now-stunned Godzilla like a sea snake with frightening speed. Upon reaching him, Manda once again coiled his long body around Godzilla, even slashing the Monster King with his tiny claws. But Godzilla was quick to regain his consciousness and ability to move, and immediately realized that he was back to square one. Fortunately, Godzilla noticed that Manda's tail happened to be close to his face. Wasting no time, the Monster King lunged and bit the sea dragon's tail with his strong jaws, causing Manda to unwrap himself from Godzilla yet again and roar out of sheer pain, just as the Monster King released his tail. Godzilla turned to face Manda, his spines and the inside of his mouth began lighting up with a very bright blue color, resulting in a mass of bubbles to start forming and surrounding his now-glowing dorsal spines due to the extreme heat they were giving off. Without a second thought, Godzilla unleashed his Heat Ray straight at Manda, but thanks to the latter's thin and elongated snake-like body, the sea dragon easily dodged the Heat Ray simply by moving out of its path. Even though he missed his target, this attack left Manda to reconsider if fighting Godzilla was necessary, knowing that if the Monster King managed to strike him with his main weapon, it wouldn't end well. With final glare, Manda turned and proceeded to swim away from Godzilla. Sensing that the danger had passed, Godzilla turned and began swimming back to the surface. ... In Mount Aris, the hippogriffs were patiently waiting on the beach for a sign if Godzilla succeeded. It wasn't long before the Monster King broke the water's surface and let out a triumphant roar, singling that he indeed did succeed. The joy-filled hippogriffs began cheering and applauding for saving them and helping them repel Manda from their kingdom. "HOORAY! Godzilla!" "You saved us!" Godzilla was also pleased to see his friends happy and safe — but said happiness was short-lived, for Godzilla's senses suddenly picked up something that the hippogriffs cannot sense. His senses told him that whatever he's detecting right now, was definitely not good. In fact, Godzilla hasn't felt this uneasy since the arrival of SpaceGodzilla. Castle of Friendship The Princess of Friendship was currently in the throne room in the Castle of Friendship, pacing back and forth worriedly and desperately waiting for her friends. Finally, her friends arrived in the room, also looking pretty desperate and worried. "We came as soon as we could." Spike said, panting. "What is the problem, darling?" Rarity asked. "There's been another giant monster attack." Twilight informed them. "It happened in the Kirin Village." "Probably should have expected that." Rainbow Dash said with a sigh. "It's been while since we had one of those." "This one was different, because shortly after the monster attacked, it just... disappeared." Twilight explained. Her friends now looked really surprised. They knew that most kaiju were technically different species unrelated to one another (some being extraterrestrial), and possessed different abilities, so perhaps this one had the ability to teleport. Considering what they've heard from the Elias and seen with their own eyes, this wasn't too far fetched. But they couldn't help but feel that something was off about this particular kaiju attack. But before they could think too hard about it, out of nowhere, Discord suddenly teleported in the room. "You know Twilight, this could be your big chance to prove that you can run Equestria on your own." He said with a smile. "Ya' sure about that?" Applejack asked, uncertain about this. "These things are tougher than any villain we've faced before." "Which is exactly why it could be your chance to prove you all can be great and powerful leaders." Discord said, mockingly bumping Applejack's muzzle with his eagle claw, much to her annoyance. "He's right." Twilight suddenly said. For a creature of chaos, Discord actually made a very good point; the kaiju were far more powerful than any Equestria villain in the past, and if they can stop this monster, than surely they are worthy of proving themselves to be wise and powerful rulers of Equestria. "He is?" A surprised Spike asked. "Of course I am." Discord proudly said. "Just because I'm the Lord of Chaos doesn't mean that I can't be sensible or rational at times." "But we're gonna need the Elements of Harmony for this." Twilight said while looking at the Cutie Map. "If we can stop this creature, that means that we're ready to take on the roles of the two Princesses!" She said with a bright smile. "Even if we stop this creature, how are we gonna find it, since it can apparently teleport?" Fluttershy softly asked. "I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Twilight answered. Everfree Forest Having no other options in this situation, Twilight and her five friends entered the Cave of Harmony that housed the Tree of Harmony. In each of the Tree's branches resided one of the five Elements of Harmony, and the sixth Element, Magic, residing in the middle of the trunk of the Tree. For Twilight and her friends, this was also unusual since they have never actually used the Elements of Harmony against kaiju before, and it was time to try it out. "They've never looked more beautiful!" Rarity exclaimed happily with glimmer in her eyes. "Right." Twilight said. "Now, let's-" However, before the Princess of Friendship could finish her sentence or make any kind of action, the entire cave suddenly began shaking like crazy, as if an earthquake was occurring right now. "Hey, what's happening?" Rainbow Dash asked in surprise. Before any of them could respond, or do anything else for the matter, the ceiling of the cave directly above the Tree of Harmony broke apart... and a gigantic reptilian foot came down, crushing the Tree of Harmony to pieces! And crushing the six Elements of Harmony along with it! Twilight and her friends gasped and looked at what may very well be the most horrifying sight in their entire lives! The Elements of Harmony, their ultimate weapon that helped keep Equestria safe from threats and villains alike for countless years, were now nothing more than shattered pieces under the giant foot that crushed them. Twilight and her friends could not believe that this has just happened, they simply couldn't. This had to be a bad dream, they wished it was a bad dream — but it wasn't. "No..." Twilight spoke in a very low tone, the horror in her eyes said it all. But there was no time the mourn the loss of the Tree, the cave continued shaking and boulders started raining from the ceiling, forcing Twilight and her friends to abandon it before it would collapse on them. ... By the time the six ponies reached the outside, the entire Cave of Harmony collapsed! Looking up, the ponies finally saw the culprit behind the destruction of the Tree of Harmony — and it was none other than Orga! The extraterrestrial kaiju looked down at the six ponies with a look that practically screamed malice. Not willing to give them them chance to escape, he lifted one of his gigantic hands, ready to crush the six terrified friends like he crushed the Tree of Harmony. But of course, that did not happen... *SKREEEEEEOOOOOOOOONNNNNNGK!* The familiar roar stopped Orga in his tracks, and caused him to turn to his left, and witness the King of the Monsters approaching him from the farther North side, finished with his battle against Manda and was now glaring at him. Godzilla never took kindly to kaiju who tried to kill his Equestrian friends, and seeing Orga trying to do just that, really peeved him off. The feeling was mutual for Orga, as he turned to face Godzilla, who simply snarled at him. With a roar of his own, Orga began charging at Godzilla, just as the latter started charging at him as well! The two kaiju almost immediately closed the distance between one another, and clashed like two forces of nature! Godzilla and Orga smashed their heads against one another, sending a shock-wave throughout the entire Everfree Forest! Using his sharp claws, Godzilla slashed Orga across the face, but the deformed kaiju quickly retaliated by swinging one of his huge hands, which Godzilla dodged by ducking down. Orga wrapped his hands around Godzilla in a bear-hug while also attempting to wrestle the Monster King down. But Godzilla's strength was not to be underestimated; quickly breaking free from Orga's hold, Godzilla pushed back the extraterrestrial monster. Twilight's friends watched in amazement at the battle between the titans. "C'mon ya'll!" Applejack exclaimed. "We gotta help 'em!" "We can't." Twilight suddenly said. The rest of her friends turned to see the Princess of Friendship sitting quietly with her head lowered and looking at the ground sadly, no doubt out of despair. "The Elements of Harmony and the Tree of Harmony are gone. Without them, we can't even defeat a standard Equestria villain, let alone a monster like that." Her voice was filled with despair and hopelessness. "I thought I was ready to take on the roles of the Princesses, but now I see how wrong I was." Knowing how much inferior they all were compared to Orga without the Elements, Twilight knew they would only get in the way of the battle, and maybe even get themselves killed. Her friends looked at her with sympathy, understanding what Twilight was going through. Having to witness the Tree of Harmony (along with the Elements) getting crushed like that, took a serious toll on her mind. "Twilight, Twilight, Twilight..." A familiar voice (sounding disappointed) was suddenly heard, before the owner of that voice teleported right in front of them. "Discord!" Fluttershy exclaimed happily. "Twilight, I'm disappointed in you." Discord said to Twilight, folding his arms. "Giving up so easily and so quickly? That's just not what I would expect from the Princess of Friendship, especially since she's about to become the Ruler of Equestria." "But this monster crushed the Tree of Harmony — he destroyed the Elements!" Twilight said out loud. "We can't stop him like that, only Godzilla-" "Twilight," Discord suddenly said with an unusually soft tone while placing his lion paw on Twilight's shoulder. "Listen to me; You don't need the Princesses, you don't need the Elements, and I'm willing to bet that you might not even need Godzilla. The six of you will always embody the virtue of harmony:" He pointed at Fluttershy." Fluttershy, you will always be kind." He then pointed at Applejack. "Applejack, you will always be honest. Rarity, you'll always be generous. Pinkie Pie, you'll always bring laughter wherever you go. Rainbow Dash, you'll always be loyal." Finally, her turned to Twilight Sparkle. "And you, Twilight... you are and always will be the embodiment of magic." This genuine and inspiring speech from Discord caused the Mane Six to smile at him with joy and happiness. What he said was absolutely true; they are the living embodiments of harmony, and always will be. And as long as they stand together, they will always triumph, even against seemingly impossible odds. "Listen to your friend, Princess Twilight Sparkle." The voices of the Elias were heard. "He is right, do not lose sight of what is in front of you. You are here, together, willing to give everything you have for your land. Nothing and no creature can ever take that away from you, Princess Twilight Sparkle. Because that is who you are. Just like Godzilla, you must never give up, you must always stand together, even if it seems like you have nothing left. Even if it knocks you back, you will not give up and you will try again. So long as he can still draw a breath, Godzilla will never give up to protect you and your land, because you are his friends — and neither will you give up on him." This filled Twilight and her friends with even more hope and faith. Godzilla, even if he was low on power and was facing an opponent far more powerful than himself, will never stop fighting to protect them all — to protect Equestria. Godzilla has protected his world, Earth, for many years because it was his home, and he will certainly protect Equestria with equal ferocity, because they have always treated him with kindness and loyalty, never once seeing him as a mindless monster of destruction like the humans did — and for that singly act, Godzilla will never stop fighting to protect the world that has shown him the kindness and happiness that humanity has denied him. Twilight and her friends knew, that if Godzilla will keep fighting to protect them down to his very last breath, than they will do the same for him and Equestria! They will stand together and fight both villains and monsters as one, and will never stop fighting so long as they can still draw a breath, no matter how dire the situation! "Come on, girls! Let's help Godzilla and save Equestria!" Twilight exclaimed with a confident smile as she got up and spread her wings, her confidence fully restored. "Right!" Her friends said in unison. "First thing's first, we need an analysis on this monster." Twilight said looking at Orga while he continued his battle with Godzilla. "Elias, any weaknesses this monster might have? He has two large claws, a strange hole on his left shoulder, and looks kind of like Godzilla for some reason." "The creature of which you speak of is called 'Orga'." The Elias began explaining. "He possess Godzilla's DNA and is an extraterrestrial. He came to our world millions of years ago, and has stayed dormant until he absorbed some of Godzilla's cells, mutating him into the creature you see now." "Well actually that's not exactly true." Discord suddenly said, turning everyone's attention to him. "Orga was group of individual aliens called Millennians that merged together into one body, and after absorbing Godzilla's DNA to adapt to Earth's atmosphere, they turned into this monster. It says so on Toho Kingdom." He explained. The Mane Six looked very much confused at what Discord just said, but there was no time to think too hard about that. "Anyway, does Orga have any weaknesses?" Twilight quickly asked. "Pft. Who needs to know his weaknesses when you've got me?" Discord said proudly and loudly, making himself more muscular via his magic. "I'll take care of this 'SpaceGodzilla-wanna-be'!" With that he teleported away. "Discord, wait!" Twilight's protest was left in vain. Godzilla bit down on Orga's left shoulder, inflicting serious damage to the imperfect clone-hybrid with his teeth. Orga managed to free himself, before delivering a powerful uppercut to Godzilla's face with one of his hands, dazing the Monster King slightly. Orga then took this opportunity to punch Godzilla again, this time much harder, sending the Monster King pummeling to the ground! Just as Orga was about to attack again, he suddenly felt tapping on his back. Turning around, the deformed hybrid looked in surprise to see Discord, who has now enlarged himself with his magic to be the same size as the two kaiju, standing behind him. "Excuse me, but I believe you tried to crush my friend, Fluttershy, and my other friends not too long ago." The draconequus said, before unleashing a powerful white-colored beam of magic from his eagle claw, sending Orga flying backwards upon impact! "Nailed it!" Discord exclaimed. The extraterrestrial hybrid was not finished; quickly getting up, Orga turned around and glared at Discord, who was mockingly waving at him. With a roar filled with nothing but rage, the Millennian monster began charging at Discord, who was simply (mockingly) yawning as if there was nothing to worry about. As soon as Orga got close enough and was ready to grab the giant-sized draconequus with one of his hands, Discord teleported out of the spot before Orga had a chance to grab him. Discord appeared behind the now-confused Orga. "Pst. Hey, over here." He whispered. In an instant, Orga quickly turned around to smack Discord, but the draconequus was too fast and teleported away before Orga could clobber him with his huge hand. Orga became increasingly frustrated with Discord, seeing this creature more of a nuisance rather than a worthy opponent. Discord this time teleported directly in front of him, with a cocky smirk on his face. "You think Godzilla's the only one with fire-power?" Discord asked before inhaling deeply and unleashing a rainbow-colored beam from his mouth, striking Orga directly in the face and making the mutant alien roar in pain. "Yeah, I didn't think so." "Discord, stop! We don't know what Orga's capable of!" Twilight called out. She knew that Discord was an extremely powerful creature and magic-caster, but she couldn't help but worry in this case. Sure, Discord was a serious threat before reforming and certainly a powerful ally, but he still had a tendency to get cocky and overconfident in his abilities, thus underestimating his opponents or the situation. As was the case when Mane Six turned him to stone a second time, and when Tirek ticked him and absorbed his magic, leaving him powerless. "Oh, would you relax Twilight? I got this!" Discord said confidently, unaware that Orga had recovered and was ready to attack. "Besides, if I remember correctly what Toho Kingdom said about him, all he can do is regenerate, shoot a funny-looking beam from his shoulder, and one other ability that I forgot. What was it again?" Orga took this opportunity to full advantage, and lunged himself while Discord was distracted trying to remember. Without him noticing, Orga bit Discord's lion paw with his strong jaws, causing excruciating pain to the Lord of Chaos and making him yell in pain. Before Discord had a chance to teleport away, Orga began absorbing his DNA and energy via his bite. Orga's back began growing brown fur, his left hand started morphing and changing, resembling an eagle's talon, while his right hand starts growing fur and becoming similar to a lion's paw. A goat horn and a deer antler start growing from the top of Orga's head, while a bird and a bat's wings also start growing from his back. Orga finally released Discord, who quickly teleported away. Orga himself now became shocked and astonished, sensing Discord's magical power flowing through his now-changed body — and he loved it! Discord appeared near the Mane Six in his normal size. "Discord, what happened?" Twilight asked worriedly. "Orga has the ability to absorb the DNA of other creatures, thus gaining their abilities in the process." The Elias quickly explained. The Mane Six became even more shocked at hearing this, knowing that this would make Orga a more dangerous threat than they originally thought. "Oh yeah, that's the ability that I forgot." Discord muttered to himself. "I hate plot devices when they involve someone stealing my powers." "So wait, Orga can now do everything Discord can?" A shocked and horrified Twilight Sparkle asked, fearing the worst. "Not exactly. Orga has only gained a few of your friend's abilities, and cannot use them to their full potential. But Orga will lose these abilities if he takes sufficient damage." "Then there's still a chance." Twilight said with determination. At that moment, Godzilla got up and glared at Orga, who turned to face him once more. Dorsal spines lighting up, Godzilla fired his Atomic Breath straight at Orga... only for newly-powered monster to counter it by firing a white-colored beam from his shoulder-canon! Blue and white colors clashed, as the two kaiju struggle to overpower the other's energy attack. But thanks to now being partly draconequus, Orga opened his mouth and fired a second beam from it, striking Godzilla directly in the chest! This caused Godzilla to lose his balance, allowing both of Orga's beams to strike him at once and knock him backwards, sending the Monster King crashing on the ground again! Discord and the Mane Six looked in horror while Orga roared triumphantly, and started approaching the fallen Godzilla to inspect if he was still kicking. As Orga approached him, he saw Godzilla laying on the ground, motionless and with his eyes closed. However, as Orga got closer, Godzilla's seemingly motionless tail suddenly shipped around Orga's legs, tripping the surprised monster into falling atop of Godzilla — and that's when Godzilla quickly opened his eyes, turned and fired his Atomic Breath straight at Orga's face, point-blank! The heat beam of radiation incinerated not only part of Orga's head, but also most of his back and upped body, doing severe damage to the mutant and knocking him backwards! "Huh. I guess Orga also copied Discord's overconfidence, huh?" Rainbow Dash mockingly said. "I'll let that one go for now." Discord muttered, folding his arms. Thanks to Godzilla's DNA being a permanent part of him, Orga's injuries quickly healed from the damage. But unfortunately for him, he also lost Discord's physical aspects and abilities, reverting back to his original form. The space monster became extremely infuriated; after having gained such immense and unique power from Discord, it was gone just like that. "Look! Orga's back to his old self! Way to go, Godzilla!" Twilight cheered him on. "Come on! We can take care of that overgrown copycat!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, smashing her front hooves together. "Yeah! I'll get him back for stealing my DNA earlier!" Discord said, manifesting a soldier outfit and a gun. "No, Discord." Twilight said, turning to him. "I know you want to help, but we can't risk Orga absorbing your powers again." "Oh fine." Discord sighed, reverting to normal. "But I'll still get him back for it." "Can't any of Godzilla's friends, like Mothra, come to help?" Fluttershy asked. Even though Orga has been stripped of Discord's power, he was still a significant threat. At this point, an idea hit Twilight as if she got slapped across the face for not coming up with it earlier. "Of course! I forgot Star Swirl made a new spell for these creatures!" Twilight exclaimed, realizing the Titan Spell that Star Swirl the Bearded created. "Alright, let's give this a try." The Princess of Friendship closed her eyes and began concentrating hard. Her horn began glowing with a purple aura, before starting to emit a very unusual sound. Unknown location In a deserted area of Equestria, filled with nothing but rocks and mountains, resided an active volcano, with a pool of molten lava at the top. But it's what resided within the lava itself that truly changed the environment around it. Bubbles began forming on surface of the hot magma... before something gigantic bursted forth from the top of the volcano, spewing drops of lava everywhere in the process! It was none other than Rodan who emerged from the volcano, and let out his iconic screech! Ever since he came to Equestria, Rodan mostly spent his time hibernating within volcanoes and only awakened to hunt and feed. Rodan primarily ate very large creatures, such as hydras, maulwurfs, rocs, tatzlwurms, and quarray eels. But today he didn't emerge to eat — the mighty pterosaur had awoken because he heard the sound produced by Twilight's Titan Spell. Spreading his gigantic wings (which were still covered in magma) and flapping them, Rodan took to the sky in a mere second. Hot lava began raining down as the Samurai of the Skies continued flying toward his destination. Everfree Forest Godzilla swung his massive tail, slamming Orga across the head with it. Orga turned and attempted to take a bit out of Godzilla to absorb some of his DNA, but the Monster King was quick on the draw; grabbing Orga by the throat with his claw, Godzilla lifted his head up to avoid the monster's bites. Orga countered with punch to Godzilla's chest, sending the Monster King crashing on the ground again. "We can't just sit here! We have to help him somehow!" Applejack exclaimed. "You know, I've been thinking... why don't you bring the fight to their level?" Discord inquired. The Mane Six turned to look at him in confusion and puzzlement at what he meant. "What do you mean by that?" A confused Rainbow Dash asked. "I prefer to show rather than tell." Discord smirked before suddenly shooting The Mane Six with a beam of magic from his lion paw. As soon as the beam made contact with them, Twilight and her friends felt the environment around them suddenly begin shrinking: the trees, the ground, and even Discord himself, all started to shrink in size. But the truth was, the environment wasn't shrinking at all... they were growing! By them time they stopped growing in size, they were roughly the same size as the two kaiju! Twilight and her friends looked at themselves and their surroundings in complete shock and disbelief. This was a completely new feeling, one that they have never felt before, and that's coming from ponies who have been on all sorts of crazy adventures before. "Oh my Celestia!" Rarity exclaimed, her voice echoes throughout the forest. "We're giants!" Pinkie Pie shouted in excitement, looking at all the now-tiny trees around her hooves. "Oh yeah! Now we're talking!" Rainbow Dash bellowed, already liking her new size and stature. A growl caught the now-giant Mane Six's attention to the reason they were turned into giants in the first place. Orga, while stunned to see the small pests turned into giants comparable to himself, was determined to destroy them one way or another. The Mane Six quickly got into fighting position, feeling much more confident with their new sizes. "This is for what you did to the Tree of Harmony!" Twilight shouted before shooting a powerful purple beam of magic from her horn at the monster! Twilight's magic was already incredibly powerful as it was, but now with her increased size, her power has also increased significantly! The surprised Orga was sent flying backwards the moment Twilight's beam struck him! "Come on, ya'll!" Applejack called out. "The sooner we beat this overgrown monster, the sooner we'll be back to normal!" "I actually don't mind being big." Rainbow Dash proudly said before flying straight at the downed Orga. Giving the monster no time to recover, Rainbow Dash delivered a hard blow across the kaiju's face with her hoof. "Come on, Ugly! Is that the best you can do?" She mockingly asked. Angered, Orga turned to the giant pegasus, and fired his Shoulder Canon at her point-blank, sending Rainbow Dash flying backwards from the impact of the blast, sending her crashing on the ground. "Rainbow!" Twilight exclaimed. "I'm fine Twilight." Rainbow Dash assured her, quickly recovering from the attack. "Honestly, I've felt worse before." "Alright girls, let's do this together!" Twilight Sparkle said as she and her friends turned to Orga, who was ready for another brawl. "Right!" Pinkie exclaimed. With that, all six giant friends started charging at Orga at once! The monster tried to surprise them with another blast of his Shoulder Canon, but the six giant ponies were easily able to dodge the blast by splitting up and continuing to charge, much to the surprise of the kaiju. Seeing an opportunity, Applejack quickly turned and delivered a powerful blow with her two hind legs to Orga's chest! "Ooops. Sorry. Excuse me." Fluttershy was the only pony that was not fighting Orga; she was busy trying to avoid stepping on some animals that might be near her. "Just fly, Fluttershy. You have wings." Twilight Sparkle said. "Oh, right. Thanks, Twilight." Fluttershy said softly before spreading her wings and taking flight, along with Rainbow Dash who quickly joined her. Just as Twilight turned back to face Orga, she was suddenly tackled by the monster, who pinned her against the ground with his huge claws and attempted to bite her. Twilight Sparkle, being arguable the smartest pony in the land, quickly used her magic to create an energy rope and wrapped it around Orga's mouth, closing it shut in order to keep him from absorbing her DNA as well. Seizing her chance, Twilight fired another magical beam from her horn, point-blank at Orga's chest and pushing the monster over 200 meters away from her, making him topple on the ground. Just as Twilight finished her assault, the heroins got an unexpected aid. From the skies above, Rodan flied down with immense speed like a peregrine falcon dive-bombing its prey, and sank his sharp talons in the surprised Orga's back, causing the latter to roar out in pain! The Mane Six and Discord looked in surprise at Rodan's unexpected arrival — at least it seemed unexpected until Twilight Sparkle realized something. "The Titan Spell worked!" She exclaimed happily. Rodan started to battle Orga by slashing with his talons and pecking at him with his beak. But Orga's extremely potent healing factor meant that Rodan cannot do any lasting damage, and the extraterrestrial quickly turned the tables by grabbing one of Rodan's wings and smashing the giant pterosaur against the ground. Wasting no time, Orga brought Rodan closer to his face and sank his teeth in the pterosaur's left shoulder, earning a screech of pain from the Samurai of the Skies. Orga began absorbing Rodan's DNA, and as a result started growing a pair of wings from his back, while his skin took on the texture of Rodan's scales, as well. "Oh, that can't be good." Rainbow Dash commented at the new form of Orga, her friends could not agree more with her. Taking advantage of his newly-grown wings, Orga tossed Rodan aside, and with a flap from his wings, took to the sky to confront Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Seeing this, Rainbow quickly went on the offensive, charging straight at Orga in hopes of catching him by surprise, but it didn't end well for her — Orga easily blasted her out of the sky with his Shoulder Canon, sending her crashing on the ground! "Rainbow Dash!" A horrified Fluttershy quickly flied down to check on her. "Can't believe he got me a second time." Rainbow Dash groaned, getting up and rubbing her head in pain. "How are we gonna stop him?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Even though we're big, he can steal our powers." "Like we always do..." Twilight said with a determined look on her face. "By working together!" This determination on her face inspired and encouraged her friends as well. "Right!" The said in unison. Orga roared and began flying down to attack them, but this time Twilight and her friends were ready. Without even giving Orga time to register, Twilight and Rarity both fired their respective beams of magic from their horns at the incoming Orga, striking him directly in the face and chest, and blowing him backwards in the process. Rainbow Dash took this opportunity to fly up with her incredible speed and deliver a few blows to the dazed monster's face before sending him plummeting down to the ground with a kick. And on the very spot where Orga would land(crash), Applejack was there waiting for him. Just when Orga reached her, Applejack quickly turned and delivered another powerful blow from her two hind legs to Orga's face (much like she did earlier)! This attack left Orga collapsing on the ground and in extreme pain — he had underestimated these ponies. Still not finished yet, Orga got up and was prepared to fire his Shoulder Canon at Applejack, only for Pinkie Pie to intervene by suddenly appearing in front of him. "Shoulder Canon meet Party Canon!" Pinkie said as she pulled her Party Canon, which was also gigantic (don't question it). Pinkie fired her Party Canon straight at Orga before he could fire his, but instead of sweets and confetti like normal, out of the Party Canon came an actual canon ball that smashed into Orga's chest with painful results to the kaiju, sending him crashing through the ground from the impact! "Never underestimate Pinkie Pie." Pinkie said with a smirk. "Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked softly while gently helping Rodan recover. The mutant pterosaur usually had trouble trusting strangers or creatures he has never met before, but the compassion Fluttershy was showing him truly surprised him; she had no reason to help him, yet she did so anyway. It made the Samurai of the Skies wonder more about her and the rest of these ponies. "Orga, this is your last chance: leave now or face defeat! You choose." Twilight Sparkle declared as she and her five friends assembled in front of the kaiju. Orga growled angrily, refusing to admit defeat to these overgrown pests. Fueled by rage, Orga responded with a blast from his Shoulder Canon at the Mane Six, only for Twilight to counter it with a beam of magic from her horn. Twilight's magic beam and Orga's Shoulder Canon clashed with one another in an epic display of power. At first, it seemed like Orga's beam will overpower Twilight's as she struggled to overcome it, but her friends were quick to support her by placing their front hooves on Twilight's back and shoulders, and give her encouraging smiles. But they weren't alone, either — much to their surprise, Godzilla also joined them, with the Monster King placing his left claw on Twilight's back, to which the Princess of Friendship smiled gratefully at him. Even more astonishingly, due to their bond and friendship with one another, Twilight Sparkle, her friends, and even Godzilla, became engulfed in a brilliantly-beautiful aura with a mix of pink, white and blue colors that also doubled as a force-field, shielding them from Orga's Shoulder Canon! Orga stopped his assault and looked in shock and disbelief at the display of the combined power of friendship between the kaiju and the ponies. But the extraterrestrial's pride will not be defeated, Orga still refused to admit defeat despite the already-obvious difference in power and numbers! In a last effort to win and gain their power, Orga opened his mouth as wide as he could, and from within his mouth emerged a stretchy (almost elastic) fleshy mouth-part in a form that somewhat resembled a bindweed flower. Without hesitation, Orga threw the bindweed flower-like mouth-part at his enemies like a fisherman throwing a fishing net, engulfing both the Mane Six and Godzilla, along with the force-field surrounding them, almost completely! Afterwards, Orga began to morph, transform and grow in size; his body soon became unrecognizable due to the accelerating mutation, and started resembling a ginormous blob-like creature with a crocodile-like head, Rodan's wings and Godzilla's dorsal spines — all the while Orga continued to swallow the force-field that contained the Mane Six and Godzilla. Discord, who has been observing all of this, looked in horror at Orga attempting devour his friends. The draconequus glared at the kaiju, and was ready to go and attack him, until... A bright light began illuminating from within Orga's crocodile-like head, but it wasn't Orga himself that was creating the glow... it was the force-field containing the Mane Six and Godzilla. The magic of friendship from the Mane Six and Godzilla's bond resulted in a massive increase in power to both parties — power that Orga cannot handle. The power of their friendship grew increasingly stronger evidenced by the how the light glowed brighter with every passing second! The shocked and dumbfounded kaiju's eyes widened in horror as he realized what was coming next: The light within Orga's head glowed brighter and brighter... until Orga exploded in a spectacular explosion of magic and energy, much like a star when it goes supernova! The magical explosion completely obliterated Orga's entire physical make-up along with every cell to make sure he can never regenerate again! And just like that, the extraterrestrial kaiju that was Orga, was gone before Discord even came to realize what had just happened! When it was all over and done, the spectacular light died down, and the aura surrounding the Mane Six and Godzilla slowly descended to the ground and dissipated. "Oh yeah~!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed proudly. "We blew that alien freak to bits!" "More like, to nothing!" Pinkie Pie added. "Am I right?" "And thank goodness, too." Rarity also added. "That last form it took was hideous!" Twilight smiled. "Like Discord said: Even without the Elements, as long as we're together, there's nothing that we can't defeat! Not even a giant monster like Orga!" However, her face soon turned into that of disappointment. "But maybe I should ask the Princesses to wait until I'm truly ready to rule Equestria." A soft growl caught their attention, causing the Mane Six to turn and notice Godzilla standing behind them, his expression was a mix of curiosity and happiness. While he did ponder about his friends' sudden size change, with all the other magical stuff he's seen and experienced in Equestria, it wasn't something to think too hard about. Twilight smiled warmly and approached the Monster King, feeling a totally different experience now that she was roughly the same size as him. "Godzilla, you and your friends saved and helped our land so many times, and if it wasn't for you, I don't think we would have had our homes, our families or even Equestria itself." Twilight said with a sincere tone and a gentle smile. "I honestly don't think I'll ever be able to repay you or owe you enough for everything that you've done." Twilight's tone started becoming more saddened at this point. However, Godzilla was quick to respond by wrapping his arms around the giant alicorn and giving her a warm, comforting hug. For him, Twilight didn't need to give or offer anything to repay him, just the fact that she and almost every other creature in Equestria treated him as a friend and an ally, and showed him kindness, love and compassion, was all that Godzilla and his allies needed from them — nothing more. The Princess of Friendship looked at him in surprise, before she smiled warmly and returned the favor by wrapping her beautiful wings around him. "Well, I'm glad you guys are done." Discord called out from the ground. "For a moment, I thought I was gonna have to get myself involved." "You already did." Rainbow Dash said. "Also, why didn't you turn us, or anypony for that matter, into giants when we were fighting the other monsters before?" She asked, seeing as this enlarging spell would have been very useful in their previous battles against King Ghidorah, Destoroyah, and SpaceGodzilla. "Um... plot convenience?" Discord grinned sheepishly. Canterlot After returning the Mane Six to their normal sizes, Rodan finally got more familiar with the ponies, Discord and most of Equestria's inhabitants, and managed to form an acquaintanceship with them. Although he still had a bit of trouble fully-trusting them, unlike Godzilla, Anguirus and Mothra, he still trusted them enough to fight alongside them in battle if the need were to ever arise. Rodan had even unintentionally helped random ponies and other creatures by preying on the more-dangerous creatures that often prey on them, such as rocs, hydras, and quarrey eels. After explaining the latest events to the Princesses — Orga destroying the Tree of Harmony, Discord using his magic to enlarge the Mane Six, and with the help of Godzilla, defeat Orga, and making a new ally with Rodan — Twilight kindly asked the Princesses to halt their retirement until she was truly ready. "Twilight, while you've proven to me beyond any doubt that you will be a great leader, Luna and I have decided it may have been a bit unfair to thrust this upon you without giving you the time you need to prepare." Princess Celestia said with a smile. "It's okay Princesses, I know when to admit my mistakes, too." Twilight said with a warm smile of her own. "As long as we are together, we definitely got this!" "Again, I'm amazed that she's gotten over her 'Twilight-ing' problem just when I invented that verb." Pinkie Pie commented. Legion of Doom Lair Meanwhile, back in the lair of the four villains. Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow were arguing over who will be the leader of their newly-formed 'Legion of Doom' (which Cozy came up with the name). Of course, being villains and all, this was easier said than done, but Nulucus continued to be patient and tried his hardest to have them work together as a team (without becoming friends) as it was the best way to defeat their enemies. He also explained to them how he and his race once sent Gigan (a cyborg monster that they controlled) to conquer Earth and harvest Godzilla, which failed miserably. ... Nulucus entered his lair, to find Cozy Glow, Chrysalis and Tirek holding hooves(& hands) together, and with Cozy attempting to 'befriend' them. "I'll say something nice about centaurs." Cozy pointed at herself before turning to Tirek. "Tirek, you say something nice about changelings," She then turned to Chrysalis. "and Chrysalis, you say something nice about ponies!" "Never!" The infuriated Chrysalis angrily shouted. "You are doing it all wrong, Cozy Glow!" Nulucus called out, turning their attention to him. "That is not how villains form allies. As I said, you all share a common hatred for Twilight and her friends, so try finding somethings that you all enjoy alike. Like gaining power or thinking of ways to make Twilight and her friends suffer when they are at your mercy!" "Wow! He really is good at making us work together without becoming friends." An impressed Tirek commented. "Anyway, what about Orga?" Cozy Glow asked. Instead of answering with words, Nulucus simply lifted the blue-colored crystal in the air, which created a hologram of Orga's fate. The three villains were very much shocked and dumbfounded at the power of their enemies, and it wasn't good news for them. Seeing a powerful monster like Orga being defeated really made them consider trying harder to work as a team in order to defeat their enemies. "I only used Orga as a warning to you, because I knew he wouldn't be able to win alone." Nulucus said before turning to them. "Now then, time for you to meet my other 'guests'." Before any of his fellow villains could ask or make any kind of action, the roof of the cavern above them began disintegrating into dust, allowing the villains to get a good view of the dark clouds above that were covering and blocking-out the blue sky. But it was what emerged from the dark clouds themselves that truly impressed (and even scared) the three villains. Without warning, a monstrous winged entity emerged from the mass of dark clouds and flew down, landing not too far away from the base of the villains. Tirek, Cozy and Chrysalis looked up at the giant monster with shock and horror on their faces. The kaiju was none other than the three-headed Golden Demise, King Ghidorah, and with the head on the right letting out a blood-chilling roar! But he wasn't alone, as another flying kaiju also appeared from the darkened clouds and flew down to join the three-headed dragon. Landing on the opposite side of where King Ghidorah was standing, the second kaiju was not quite as tall as Ghidorah, but was perhaps more threatening and intimidating in appearance, and it had a good reason to be, because this monster was the birth child of the Oxygen Destroyer: Destoroyah! The three villains looked at the two kaiju towering over them with visible fear in their eyes — although they have expressed shock and intimidation before, when about to face defeat from their pony enemies, they have never truly felt such an overwhelming sense of helplessness and despair when facing these two kaiju in person. "Are you impressed?" Nulucus asked, catching their attention. "You should be, because these two are under my absolute control." "You're controlling them? How?" Chrysalis couldn't help but ask. "This crystal is the source of most of my power." Nulucus answered, holding up the blue crystal that he's been holding all this time. "It is what allowed me to bring you all here and control these monsters. But we still have one more trump card left." "And what's that?" Tirek asked, barely able to comprehend the amazing power that Nulucus possessed. "You will know when the time comes. In fact, it's practically on its way here as we speak." Nulucus said. "Oh, and one more thing: Don't even think about betraying me, because I can read your minds." This, again, surprised the other villains. "I'm sure you're most familiar with this ability, Cozy Glow." This remark caused the villainous filly's blood to boil in rage, because it was the same ability that foiled her plans to rule Equestria as an Empress, thanks to the Elias reading her mind. She wasn't angry at Nulucus himself, but now knowing that he also had this same telepathic ability and reminding her of it was enough to trigger her temper. Cozy Glow still held a grudge against the Elias for ruining her plans, and will gladly take her revenge when they defeat their enemies and conquer Equestria. Space In the endless void that was space, a portal (similar to the ones that brought the kaiju to Equestria) opened. However, this one was far larger than any of them — in fact, it was the size of some of the largest lakes in Equestria. It had a good reason for being this large, because what came out of the it isn't a kaiju (so to speak), but an asteroid. An asteroid of incredible proportions and with an extreme density even by asteroid standards! This asteroid was the 'trump card' that Nulucus spoke of, and it was called 'Gorath'! Shorty after emerging from the portal, Gorath's path has already been chosen, and the asteroid began heading toward the planet that was now housing the kaiju. Gorath was on a collision course with Equestria! Kirin Village Shortly after Orga had left the Kirin Village when King Caesar fought him, Tempest Shadow and Battra arrived. Tempest landed on the ground to promptly explain what has been happening these months, while Battra was having his own 'conversation' with King Caesar, explaining the situation. Tempest and Battra have been traveling through Equestria and the lands beyond these last months, keeping other more hostile creatures in check and informing others about the kaiju coming to this world. Tempest and Battra have grown closer to one another over these many months, and she was even able to understand him thanks to Battra's limited telepathy. "So this has been happening for a full year, and we haven't heard a thing about it?" Autumn Blaze asked, very much surprised as were the other kirins. They have heard reports of unusually large and strange creatures roaming, but they simply dismissed the rumors as misidentifications or a joke. "Yeah, not everyone knows about this." Tempest said calmly. "Especially the lands that are outside of Equestria's borders." A sudden screech from Battra caught everyone's attention, and Tempest quickly realized that the moment she and Battra have been waiting for was here. She walked up to Battra, who was standing on the ground and looking at the sky. "Is it finally here?" Tempest asked the Divine Moth, to which Battra turned to her and nodded. "What's here?" A curious Autumn Blaze asked. Sighing, Tempest Shadow knew that she should explain to them. "There's an asteroid called 'Gorath' heading toward our world, and Battra here is apparently destined to stop it from colliding." This news immediately placed the kirins in a state of extreme fear and anxiety; as if dealing with giant monsters wasn't scary enough, now they have an asteroid heading toward them? This day just kept getting worse and worse for them. "Battra..." Tempest called out, turning the Divine Moth's attention to her. "Try not to get killed, okay?" Battra simply responded with a low and soft chirp, which to her translated 'no promises'. Tempest simply chuckled at Battra's stubbornness, because it reminded her too much of herself at times. But she also greatly appreciated and admired Battra's heroism and willingness to sacrifice himself to save them, it was something that they both had in common. > The Ending of the End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Five months had passed since the defeat of Orga, and more than a year since the kaiju first started appearing in Equestria. In between those months, a significant amount has happened in the land; Despite the Tree of Harmony being destroyed by Orga, the spirit of the Tree lived on, and thanks to the Young Six and Godzilla Junior's friendship and selflessness with it and themselves, a grand crystal treehouse in the middle of the Castle of the Two Sisters' courtyard was created. Several days later, Spike discovered that Garble (an old adversary of his) was the older brother of Smolder, who revealed that he secretly had a love for poetry. With Fluttershy's help, Spike aided Garble in expressing his insecurities and hobby to other dragons, as well as help the dragon eggs hatch by willingly making the other dragons laughingly-breath fire at the eggs. Finally, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna held their last Summer Sun Celebration before they would step down from their thrones and hand things over to Twilight Sparkle and her friends. The holiday itself went without a problem, and everybody (including Godzilla) enjoyed it very much. Two days after the Summer Sun Celebration, a gliding dragon-like reptile identified as 'Varan' appeared near Fillydelphia where he proceeded to attack the city. Luckily, Anguirus was also near the area, and after a brief fight with the gliding kaiju, Anguirus forced Varan to retreat. And on that same day, a giant spider known as 'Kumonga' was sighed in the jungles of where Ahuizotl's temple was located. Most of the jungle soon became covered in silk due to Kumonga building its nest there. Ironically, this helped Ahuizotl with guarding the relics, making it nearly impossible for anyone to steal a relic without being ensnared in web. Three days after Kumonga and Varan's arrival, a reptilian kaiju that vaguely resembled Godzilla (which led to some ponies mistaking it for the real Monster King) appeared in Manehattan. Thankfully, it was successfully repelled by the Titan Spell (courtesy of Twilight) without any collateral damage. This new kaiju was later identified as a completely different creature, and was nicknamed 'Zilla' by Pinkie Pie. The day after that, a giant lobster called 'Ebirah' and a giant cuttlefish known as 'Gezora' both appeared near and tried to attack Seaquestria. But fortunately, Titanosaurus was in the area at the time, and managed to drive off both kaiju after a brief scuffle with them. Ebirah and Gezora have not been seen since, but Manda has been sighted in the Celestial Sea that same day. On that very same day, a rather bizarre-looking kaiju arrived in Yakyakistan. The monster itself greatly resembled a giant walrus, but with minor differences compared to actual walruses. This strange creature was later identified as 'Maguma', and he was actually first sighted near the Ghastly Gorge. Maguma made his way to Yakyakistan because he was attracted to the cold weather. While uneasy at first, the yaks eventually got used to Maguma's presence, and allowed the titan to stay so long as he won't cause any trouble. But even with that, Godzilla and his allies did their job in keeping the other kaiju under control, and the kaiju as a whole have adjusted to living in Equestria rather quickly. New resources and foods continued growing from the kaiju's radiation, helping and benefiting ponies and other creatures all over Equestria in the process. Both the inhabitants of Equestria and the kaiju were beginning to wonder if it was necessary for the kaiju to leave Equestria, considering all the good that they've done for them. But Twilight and her friends knew, one way or another, the kaiju had to be returned to their home — because even though they helped this world a lot, they still had to protect their own world from future threats. It has been well over a year, but it didn't feel that way for Godzilla — he still wanted to stay in Equestria. Before coming to this world, Godzilla was a very vigilant creature with no higher goal in life other than to survive and keep his planet safe, and while he cared for his adoptive son and allies very deeply, he wasn't used to opening himself up to others or seeing the goodness in other living creatures. But his time in Equestria with Twilight and her friends has taught the Monster King a lot; he felt happier overall and became eager to meet other creatures, something he never thought he would be able to feel. Yes, Equestria and its inhabitants truly changed Godzilla's outlook on life for the better, and for that very same reason, he was hesitant to leave this beautiful world that has shown and taught him so much. But he knew it as well as Twilight did, that this was the best for both of their worlds. Legion of Doom Unbeknownst to the titans and most of the other creatures in Equestria, the Legion of Doom have secretly been preparing for their upcoming assault on the land. Biding their time in the shadows, preparing and waiting for the perfect opportunity to make their move. While it was difficult, Nulucus has been teaching and training Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and Tirek to work as a team — a task while troublesome, was extremely important for defeating their hated enemies. He did so by putting them in extreme challenges where only by working together could they achieve their goals, and also making them get in touch with their... 'personal stuff'. However, his training has paid off; Tirek, Cozy Glow, and Chrysalis began feeling more comfortable working together after some time, and began discovering the advantages and benefits of working as a team. Along with that, them sharing how they nearly took over Equestria in each of their attempts also helped in strengthening their alliance, and how much joy they took in tormenting Twilight Sparkle and her friends in each of their confrontations. It took some time, but Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow eventually formed into a fierce team of villains, relying on each other's strengths and combined might to overwhelm any enemy. But going up against the ponies and kaiju as they were now still wasn't enough... and they knew it. For that reason, Nulucus instructed Chrysalis and Cozy Glow to go out and spread distrust among the three pony tribes in order to weaken their friendship, and if their friendship is weakened, their power goes down as well. Chrysalis and Cozy took extreme pleasure in this task, turning unicorns against Earth ponies, Pegasi against unicorns, Earth ponies against Pegasi, and so on and so forth. In the meantime, Nulucus explained the power of his crystal; the crystal which he possesses was originally from a distant planet called 'Te-Ui', and whoever wields it, gives that individual immense power and unique abilities — including teleportation, mind-control, flight, force-fields, and many other abilities that are yet to be shown. Nulucus warned the three villains however, that if they try to steal the crystal from him, they will regret it. Fortunately, the villains were smart enough not to betray him, especially since he is able to read their minds, thus making any attempts at betrayal impossible. ... In their lair, Nulucus, Cozy Glow and Tirek were patiently sitting on their respective chairs and waiting, until Chrysalis arrives from her mission of spreading more disharmony and distrust among the ponies. "Ah, Chrysalis!" Tirek called out with a smile. "Another successful field trip, I presume?" "Spreading distrust among the unicorns and Earth ponies is almost too easy." Chrysalis proudly said as she sat on her chair. "We could take down Twilight and her friends a hundred times, but as long as they have the 'love' of Equestria behind them, they'd crawl back to defeat us! Not anymore." She said with a sinister smile. "Indeed." Nulucus inquired. "Without friendship, they have no power, thus making them vulnerable when we attack." "I did my part freaking out the Pegasi." Cozy Glow said with pride of her own. "Remember, spreading distrust among the ponies is only the first step in our plan." Nulucus reminded them. "And now that that's taken care of, it is time for step two." Nulucus said with a sinister chuckle. Everfree Forest "Discord! Discord!" Fluttershy desperately yelled and called out for her draconequus friend to appear as she walked around in the Everfree Forest all alone. "Discord, where are you?" She called out again, starting to become impatient with Discord's lack of response. But sure enough, after checking a nearby bush, the mischievous draconequus finally revealed himself by teleporting right behind the yellow pegasus in a flash of light. "Here I am!" Discord exclaimed loudly, startling Fluttershy in the process. "Don't ever do that!" The yellow Pegasi growled with an uncharacteristic-angry tone as she furiously got in his face, much to Discord's own surprise, not expecting his favorite pony friend to react in such a way. Realizing what she just did, Fluttershy immediately calmed down and looked at him apologetically. "I'm sorry Discord, it's just that..." "It's okay Fluttershy, I know." Discord reassured her, gently petting her on the head with his lion paw. "Twilight's taking over and Godzilla is going home. Honestly, even I can't help but overreact sometimes." He chuckled slightly. "Anyway, what are you doing here? I thought you were in Canterlot?" This question made Fluttershy chuckle a little. "I wanted to get a little fresh air before Twilight's ceremony. But the reason I called you here is because I wanted to show you something special." She said with a warm smile. "Oh, really?" He asked excitedly, getting closer to see what Fluttershy had for him. Perhaps it was a present of some kind. "What is it?" He asked eagerly. Fluttershy gently lifted her left wing and took out a very small blue crystal in her mouth. Discord, while not exactly what he expected or hoped for, was still very surprised by the strange crystal. "What is that? It looks kind of like-" But before the draconequus could finish his sentence, the blue crystal suddenly shot a sapphire-colored beam that struck him directly in the chest with frightening speed! The Lord of Chaos had no time to react or use his magic, because the beam quickly began draining the chaotic magic from his body! Discord struggles to break free from the magical hold, but it was a futile attempt to resist. Finally, the beam vanished, and Discord fell to the ground, powerless. "So, did you like the present?" Fluttershy asked with as a sadistic smirk formed on her face. In a flash of green light, in the place of the yellow pegasus now stood Queen Chrysalis! "Chrysalis!?" Discord exclaimed in shock and surprise at the sight of one of his old enemies. "You're back?" "Yes, and I have back-up, too." Chrysalis' smirk turned to a grin, with good reason. From the woods behind her came Cozy Glow, Tirek and Nulucus, all having sadistic smirks and smiles on their faces as they approached the now-powerless draconequus laying on the ground. "Did you miss us?" Tirek mockingly asked, cracking his knuckles. "Golly Discord, you look drained." Cozy Glow said with a wide grin of malice. "Sorry for the deception, Mr. Lord of Chaos," Nulucus said rather softly but with a still mocking tone. "But we don't wanna have any reality-benders ruining our plans, now do we?" Thinking fast, Discord snapped his fingers to use his magic, and hopefully send all of them back in Tartarus, but to his surprise it had no effect. The Lord of Chaos repeatedly continued snapping his fingers over and over again, but still nothing happened. Realizing just how powerless he truly was now, the draconequus wisely got up, turned tail, and began running away from the villains as fast as he possibly could! "Should we follow him?" Cozy asked, watching Discord fleeing from them. "There is no need, without magic, he is no longer a threat." Nulucus said calmly, pulling his own crystal. "Now then, it is time to give you three an upgrade." With that, he turned and pointed his crystal at the three villains. Without warning, the crystal unleashed another sapphire-colored beam, striking all three villains at once. But unlike in Discord's case, where it completely drained his magic, this time the crystal did the exact opposite: It gave the three villains more power, transforming their bodies in the process! Cozy Glow's wings became larger while also gaining a unicorn horn on her head, transforming the villainous filly into an alicorn and giving her immense magical powers! Tirek grew larger and more muscular, his horns becoming longer and curved, powering the centaur up to his third form and increasing his power significantly! Chrysalis gained a greenish armor along with a green-colored tiara, the tip of her twisted horn became green, her hole-filled wings became larger and wider, and her eyes gained a darker green color. After the process was complete, the three villains looked at themselves in complete awe and surprise. "Wow! What a rush!" Tirek said, awed by his increased power. "Indeed." Chrysalis agreed, looking at herself with a grin. "I feel more powerful than I ever have before!" "With this power, we'll take over Equestria for sure!" Cozy Glow added with an equally-malicious grin, hovering beside her fellow villains. "Try not to get too carried away with your power." Nulucus snapped them out. "I still exceed you three in power, and I can easily take it away if I choose." "Yeah, yeah, we got it." Cozy casually waved her hoof and brushed off his threat. "So what's step three?" Tirek quickly asked, eager to get a shot at the six ponies who imprisoned and humiliated him. If Nulucus had a mouth like the three of them, he would have had a malicious grin that rivaled their own. "Step three is the best step of all: Have fun exacting your revenge on the ponies!" Hearing this, the three villains were quick to gain evil smiles and smirks on their faces. At last, after several months of patience, plotting and training together to defeat their hated enemies, it was finally time to make their presence known to the unwary land! Equestria was in a world of trouble. Canterlot; Throne room Meanwhile, in Canterlot, the final preparations were underway for Twilight Sparkle to assume the role of ruler of Equestria in Celestia and Luna's places. And Twilight herself being surprisingly calm about this certainly helped a lot. Of course, before the coronation would begin, Twilight and her friends contacted Godzilla, Anguirus, Mothra and whatever kaiju friends they could find, to witness Twilight Sparkle's uprising to power. Godzilla and his friends, of course, were more than eager to see their new-found friend's ceremony and rising to become ruler of this land that they temporarily-called home. I the throne room, Celestia and Luna's thrones were in the process of being removed and replaced with Twilight's larger one."Doesn't she look so adorably regal up there?" Celestia asked her sister with an tearful smile, overjoyed to see her favorite student succeeding and taking her position as ruler of Equestria. Nothing could have prepared her and Luna for this. "Our little Twilight, all grown up." Luna said, wiping away some tears of joy. "Should we tell her that we've cleared out our royal suites so she and Spike can move in?" "Oh, maybe wait until after the coronation." Celestia said before she and Luna began leaving the throne room. "Twilight doesn't need anything else to worry about today." "So, you freakin' out yet?" Spike asked while measuring Twilight's height as she was sitting on her new throne calmly. "About what?" The Princess of Friendship asked casually. "Oh, I don't know. It's not every day the Princesses that have ruled Equestria for hundreds of moons retire and pass all their responsibilities on to you and your friends." Spike said, sounding a bit teasing. "Oh, that. Actually, I'm feeling pretty good." Twilight answered with a relaxed smile. "We've all faced so much and come out okay. I know we're up to the challenge of keeping Equestria safe and happy. There's nothing we can't handle together. And I'm especially happy that Godzilla and his friends are gonna be joining us on this coronation. Oh! I almost forgot..." Remembering something, Twilight used her magic to levitate and give Spike a small box. When the young dragon opened it, he found a medal — but not just any medal, it was a medal of being a royal advisor! "Royal advisor? What's that?" The young drake asked curiously. Smiling, Twilight levitated and placed the medal around Spike's neck. "A new position I created for you. You've been at my side for every step of this journey. Knowing I had you to count on gave me the strength I needed to grow and succeed. I wouldn't be here without you." Hearing this, Spike tearfully smiles and hugs his adopted sister, overjoyed for what he accomplished alongside his friends, and was now rewarded with one of the highest positions in royalty. "Thanks, Twilight. You know I'll always be your right-hoof dragon." He said, wiping some tears. "I was hoping you'd say that. Because now that my crown's been fitted, we have some royal errands to run!" With that, Twilight and Spike fly off to meet-up with their friends. ... Outside in the city, however, things were a little strange: The streets were largely abandoned, and the ponies were unusually reclusive and hostile to one another for seemingly unknown reasons. Rarity and Fluttershy were currently collecting supplies for Twilight's coronation. They stopped at a nearby market and looked around, only to find it completely empty of food. "You're sure this is where Pinkie told us to get the blackberries for her special coronation dessert?" Rarity asked her friend in confusion. "Maybe they keep their produce in the back?" Fluttershy guessed, taking a closer look. "Nope!" A fruit seller Earth pony suddenly popped up. "This is all we got. But I got a special on these taters" He said, offering them a rotten tater with a foul odor. Both Rarity and Fluttershy looked at the tater in disgust before Fluttershy kindly pulled her friend away and excused themselves. "Um, no, thank you. We'll keep looking." Fluttershy said politely before she and Rarity moved away. After leaving the market, they were greeted by Twilight and Spike as the two flew down to join them. "Ooh! Twilight, darling!" Rarity said in joy at seeing her friends who joined them. "You're just in time. Only one more pre-coronation stop. We're picking up the final touch for your apres-hors d'oevres gown..." "Is that before or after the royal marshmallow-eating-contest gown?" Twilight asked. "What?! I haven't made one of those! You must tell me when they add these sorts of things!" Rarity exclaimed in shock, and quickly started writing that down too... only to be stopped by Twilight. "It's okay, Rarity. I was just joking." The alicorn laughed in amusement, making Rarity sigh in relief. "Joking? Day of her coronation?" Spike asked teasingly while hovering near Twilight, both surprised and impressed(mostly the latter) by her drastic change in personality. "You've come a long way, Twilight." He said, making the Princess of Friendship blush. The four friends eventually made their way to a nearby thread shop. But upon trying to open the locked door, Rarity was surprised to discover that it was apparently closed. "Well, that's odd. They look open." Rarity commented before knocking on the door. After knocking, the door opened very slightly, and Lemon Hearts peeked out. "What do you want?" She asked with a rather hostile tone, much to the surprise of the four friends. "Oh. Well, this being a thread shop, I thought I might buy some?" Rarity asked kindly. "Put the bits in the mail slot." She said. After doing so, Rarity received a golden-colored thread from the same mail slot. "What was that about?" Twilight asked, becoming more confused by the unusual hostility of the pony. "You know designers. Don't like being interrupted when they're on a creative roll." Rarity said, picking up the thread with her magic before placing it in her bag. "With thread that exquisite, can you blame them?" They then noticed Rainbow Dash moving all the clouds to make the day bright and sunny for Twilight's coronation. "Weather for the coronation is sunny skies!" Rainbow declared before flying down. "It was weird, though. Not many Pegasi wanted to help me clear the clouds. They were kinda on edge." She said, also noticing the unusual hostility from her fellow ponies — and just as she said that, a passing unicorn stallion(with a nervous expression) quickly went in his house and slammed the door shut. "They're not the only ones." Spike mused. "It's the first shift in royal power in over a millenium. Of course everypony is a little jumpy. Change does that." Rarity said, trying to ease the tension. This this made Twilight start feeling a little uneasy. Fluttershy noticed this and was quick to comfort her friend. "But I'm sure it's not because they're worried about you." "How could they be? How many times have you saved their flanks by now?" Rainbow Dash added confidently. "You're right." Twilight said with a smile. "I'll just have to let everypony know that even with Celestia and Luna gone, we'll make sure things stay the same." ... In the castle courtyard, Applejack was setting up baskets of apples, but a nearby unicorn Royal Guard was constantly watching her with suspicion, as if she was secretly Chrysalis in disguise, which made the Earth pony increasingly confused and uneasy. "Twilight!" Applejack happily exclaimed at the sight of her approaching approaching her. "There you are! You mind tellin' your friend here that I don't need an official guard wherever I go? Especially if he ain't gonna help carry apples?" She asked, noticing the Royal Guard still watching at her suspiciously. "I appreciate you taking such good care of my friends, but we're fine now." Twilight said to the Royal Guard, who nods and leaves, but was still suspiciously looking at Applejack with narrowed eyes as he did that. "It was the strangest thing." Applejack said. "He kept callin' me 'Earth pony', like I didn't have a name. And watchin' me like he thought I'd steal the silver!" Shortly after she explained this, the nearby door to the kitchen bursted open with a mass of cupcakes and other desserts pouring from it. From the mass of desserts, Pinkie Pie emerged, covered in desserts herself. "Do not go in that kitchen!" She exclaimed. "You look like you were in a sugar war." Rainbow Dash pointed out. "For some reason, the bakers are super grouchy with each other." Pinkie Pie explained while making her way to her friends. "That unicorn chef started throwing dessert at Mrs. Cake! I tried to help, but I got caught in the crossfire! Tasty, tasty crossfire." She said before eating one of the cupcakes that was attached to her front hoof. "You sure this is just pre-coronation nerves?" Twilight asked Rarity, getting increasingly worried about this unusual hostility and aggression among ponies. The last thing she needed was for everypony to reject her as ruler of Equestria right in the middle of the day of her coronation. A grunt suddenly caught their attention, prompting the Mane Six and Spike to turn around and see Discord sweating and covered in dirt, and rubbing his right reptile foot in pain. "My aching metatarsals! You know, you forget how convenient snap-travel is." Discord commented while rubbing his foot. "Wait. Did you just walk here? On foot?" A surprised Spike asked, scratching his head as he and the Mane Six approached him in confusion. "Yes. But that's not important right now." Discord said, finally stopping with his 'foot massage'. "I have some news that you all should here, and they're anything but good ones." This immediately made the ponies and Spike feel more than a little unnerved, especially now that the day where Twilight Sparkle's coronation was about to begin. "What happened?" Fluttershy softly asked. The Lord of Chaos calmly and casually stood up, cleared his throat, and..."Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek are all free and on the loose!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, loudly and hysterically. As expected, the Mane Six and Spike gasped in shock and horror upon hearing this. Talk about dumb luck; three of the most dangerous and vile villains that Equestria has ever witnessed being free and on the loose on Twilight Sparkle's Coronation Day! ... Inside the throne room, where Celestia and Luna were alerted and are now standing by Twilight's side while she sat on her throne, Discord explained how Chrysalis lured him in the Everfree Forest by disguising herself as Fluttershy, before stealing all his chaotic magic with a strange blue crystal that he has never seen or heard of, before. After rendering him powerless, Tirek, Cozy Glow and Nulucus emerged from the woods, forcing him to flee to Canterlot on foot to warn them all. "That's impossible!" Luna said in disbelief. "How could Tirek and Cozy Glow have escaped Tartarus?" "That's the part that I'm wondering too." Discord said. "But there was some kind of creature present with them. I don't know who he was, or even what he was, but I'm almost certain that he might have had a hand in releasing them from Tartarus." Even more fear and worry began fueling the already-uneasy tension that has formed from hearing these bad news. "Can you describe what this creature you saw looks like?" Twilight asked. "Well," Discord began, trying his best to describe Nulucus from what he saw. "He looked kind of like Tirek, except the lower half of his body was that of a crab, and he also had the head of a spider." "That doesn't sound like any known creature that we know of." Celestia said, putting a hoof on her chin while trying to understand this. "I know, right?" Discord said. "And before I escaped, he said this:" The Lord of Chaos snapped his fingers to create a hologram of what Nulucus said to him, only to realize that will do nothing since he was still currently magicless. "Ugh! Just listen to my voice and use your imagination: 'Sorry for the deception, Mr. Lord of Chaos, but we don't wanna have any reality-benders ruining our plans, now do we?' " While they didn't know what the voice of this creature sounded like, from what they just heard from Discord's imitation of him, it definitely didn't sound on the side of good. If anything, it sounded like this being had more sinister plans for Equestria. "That's pretty disturbing." Applejack shivered. "Did you learn anything else?" Twilight asked hopefully. "I'm sorry, but I didn't exactly have all the time to listen when I was running for my life and trying to warn you all." Discord scolded, folding his arms. "Fair enough." Spike muttered. Thinking fast, Celestia turned to her friends. "Twilight, Luna, we need to make a plan. Maybe it's not too late to stop this disaster from happening!" She said, hoping that they still have some time on their side, at the very least. "I need some time to think first." Twilight said, placing a hoof on her head due to a headache from taking all of this in. Out of all the things she could expect, Twilight never expected something quite like this to happen right on her coronation day. "Alright, but-" Discord was cut-off when he noticed something happening outside. "Rainbow Dash, you did clear the skies today, right?" "...Yeah, why?" The blue Pegasi asked in confusion. "Well, the weather outside tells me otherwise." Discord said, pointing at the nearby windows on the West side of the room. Much to everyone surprise, the sky outside darkened as dark-gray clouds began forming and blocking the Sun's light from reaching the land, almost turning day into night. Even worse, loud thunder and yellow-colored lightning strikes are accompanied with powerful winds, making the weather even worse. "That's not possible!" Rainbow Dash said, approaching the windows and accompanied by her friends. "Indeed," Celestia agreed, as she, along with Luna, also approached the windows. "No storm should be able to form that quickly." Opening on of the windows with her magic, Twilight took a nearby telescope to look more closely at the raging thunderstorm outside. However, the moment she looked through the telescope, she noticed the silhouette of a winged entity within the storm itself, flapping its wings and seemingly flying towards them. She couldn't tell what this was due to the flying entity being obscured by the dark clouds. Unfortunately, a quick flash of lightning briefly revealed the identity of the flying creature... and was none other than the Golden Demise: King Ghidorah! And he was flying straight toward Canterlot with murderous intent in the eyes of each head! Twilight's ears flattened against her head, coupled with a look of pure horror from what she just saw through the telescope. "Twilight, what did you see?" A worried Spike asked, noticing the terrified expression on Twilight's face. "It's Ghidorah!" Twilight Sparkle shouted in horror. "Ghidorah is heading toward Canterlot right now!" Upon hearing this, her friends and the former Princesses also gained the same horrified looks on their faces. As if having to deal with three escaped villains wasn't bad enough, now they also had to worry about one of the most powerful and deadliest kaiju attacking them. But a loud screech followed by strong gusts of wind from above soon changed that; looking up, the heroes spot Rodan flying over and passing Canterlot castle, and heading straight to intercept the incoming King Ghidorah! "Perfect!" Twilight now exclaimed with a smile. "Rodan will hold off Ghidorah while we deal with the three villains." She turned to her dragon companion. "Spike, send a letter to Star Swirl! Tell him we need the Pillars to guard the border of Canterlot!" The young dragon nodded and quickly began writing. "If the villains are coming for a fight, we'll have one waiting for them! With Chrysalis on the loose, she'll go after Starlight! Warn Cadance and Shining Armor! They're our final line of defense if we fail!" Twilight went back and sat on her throne. "The ultimate battle for the fate of Equestria is coming!" ... Outside, Rodan was flying straight toward King Ghidorah fearlessly and relentlessly. In truth, King Ghidorah was 900 meters away from Canterlot, but due to Rodan's much faster speed, the mutant pterosaur was able to reach the three-headed dragon in a matter of seconds before Ghidorah could come any closer to Canterlot. Noticing Rodan, one of his old adversaries, the three heads let out blood-chilling shrieks louder than the thunder of the storm itself! Rodan was quick to return the aggressive threat with a fearless screech of his own, reading his sharp talons as he got closer. With the final three seconds finally passing, the Samurai of the Skies clashed with Monster Zero! In another part of Equestria, the Monster King's son, Godzilla Junior, was locked in a battle of his own. The Monster Princes sensed a negative disturbance not too long ago, and went to investigate in a deserted area of Equestria, near a large lake filled with crystal-clear water. Unfortunately, the source of the negative disturbance he was sensing soon emerged from the lake itself, and it was the Aggregate Form of Destoroyah! *SKREEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOONGK!* Like his adoptive father, Godzilla Junior was not one to back away from a fight! Being roughly the same sizes, Godzilla Junior and Aggregate Destoroyah charged with one another before clashing! Destoroyah made the first move by stabbing Godzilla Junior with his spear-like appendages and firing his Micro-Oxygen Ray. Shrieking in pain, the young titan was quick to counter with a few blasts of his Atomic Breath, doing considerable damage to the mutant crustacean! As Destoroyah backed away in pain, Junior used this to his advantage and quickly smacked Destoroyah's legs with his tail, knocking the crustacean monster down! But just as it seemed victory was on his side, Godzilla Junior was suddenly struck from behind by another pinkish beam, causing him to roar out in pain and fall to the ground. When he got up and looked to the sky, Junior spotted the Flying Form of Destoroyah flying toward him! Before the Monster Prince had a chance to defend himself, the Flying Destoroyah, with incredible speed, flew low to the ground... close enough to slash Junior across the back with his Horn Katana before flying back up again! Godzilla Junior roars in rage at the other half of Destoroyah before being tackled by the Aggregate form once more! Pinning Junior against the ground, Aggregate Destoroyah attempted to stab Junior with its inner jaw, only for Junior to blast it directly in the face point-blank with his Heat Ray! The Flying Destoroyah attempted to assist its other half again, but a pair of energy beams shot out of nowhere and blasted it out of the sky! When the Flying Destoryah crashed to the ground, Junior looked up to see Mothra flying to his aid! Now, with Mothra joining Godzilla Junior, the one-on-one battle has turned into a two-against-two showdown! Canterlot; Throne Room The thunderstorm has nearly consumed all of Equestria, but hope was not yet lost. With Rodan keeping King Ghidorah occupied outside, Princess Twilight Sparkle gathered several unicorn Royal Guards before her, along with her friends. She was determined to save Equestria in this final showdown that may very well decide the fate of both worlds! "We've faced enemies of Equestria before. And we've always succeeded, no matter the odds." Twilight declared. "That wouldn't be possible without all of you." "You're welcome!" Discord said proudly, making some of the Guards roll their eyes and some of the Mane Six to chuckle in amusement. "So I ask for your help again today in what is our biggest battle yet." Twilight continued her speech as she began hovering in front of them. "All of Equestria is at stake, and I can't do this alone. But I'm not afraid. Because with friendship as our armor and teamwork as our power, nopony can ever bring us down!" However, just as she finished her speech, the entrance doors slammed open, revealing Cozy Glow having dispatched a number of Royal Guards outside with her new magic. "Oh, come on!" Cozy groaned, dropping the defeated Royal Guards to the ground. "Where'd you get that? A daily affirmations calendar? Yeesh." To say that Twilight Sparkle was surprise at the sight of the transformed villain pony would be an understatement. "Cozy Glow?! You're—!" "About to wipe the floor with you!" Without even giving the Princess time to react, Cozy immediately shot a red-colored beam of magic from her horn, blasting Twilight against her throne and knocking her nearly unconscious to the ground! The Mane Six, the former Princesses, Spike, Discord and the Royal Guards all gasped in horror at the sight of their Princess being harmed like that. "Wow! It's true! Alicorns really do have more fun!" With a twisted grin, Cozy proceeds to blast the rest of them with her magic. In the dark stormy sky, Rodan continued his areal battle with King Ghidorah; slashing the three-headed monster with his talons, pecking at him with his beak and even slashing with the clawed-hands on his wings in mid-air, while also steering clear of Ghidorah's biting heads and Gravity Beams! But while he may have the speed and agility advantage, Rodan did little damage to the golden titan due to Monster Zero's overall superiority in power and durability! ... Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Canterlot, Star Swirl the Bearded and his fellow Pillars were watching the epic battle between the flying titans above, awed and amazed by their sheer power — Flash Magnus and Somnambula wished they could fly up there to help Rodan, but knew they would only get in the way. Suddenly, a noise from behind caught their attention, leading them to witness an unknown figure jumping from one tall rock formation to another like a jumping spider, destroying each rock formation upon leaving it. Taking his telescope, Star Swirl realized that said figure was none other than Tirek, who was looking back at him and grinning maliciously at the Pillars. With another mighty leap, the evil centaur left the last rock formation (destroying it in the process), and landed right behind the Pillars! Tirek turned and began approaching the Pillars, eager to consume their magic. But unwilling to be defeated so easily, Star Swirl shot a beam of magic at the centaur, but to no avail — even Tirek himself seemed surprised by the lack of damage from that attack. Mistmane and Mage Meadowbrook were quick to join Star Swirl, with the former shooting her own magic and the latter throwing rocks at him, but none of it mattered as Tirek was completely unfazed by their assault and laughed at their futile effort to stop him. Flash Magnus flew in to catch the centaur off guard, but he was easily caught by Tirek and thrown at his fellow Pillars, knocking them down like bowling pins. Somnambula also tried to attack, but she too was casually swatted aside like a house fly. Tirek turned to the fallen Pillars and proceeded to absorb all of their magic by sucking it up, which he found delightful. "Magic seasoned with age. Delicious." The centaur licked his lips. "No!" Rockhoof yelled in horror at the sight before he raced to attack Tirek. Unfortunately, his shovel shattered to pieces the moment it made contact with Tirek's leg when Rockoff attempted to strike him. The centaur gleefully lifted Rockhoof with his telekinetic powers and absorbed the Earth pony's magic as well, reverting and shrinking the warrior to his weaker-self in the process before dropping him. "Oh, run along. The big stallions are playing." The centaur mockingly said. Noticing that Somnambula still had her magic, Rockhoof weakly called out. "Somnambula...! Warn... the princesses...!" The Earth pony said before passing out. Seeing that they are no match for the empowered villain, Somnambula nodded and flew off to warn everyone in Canterlot at what was happening, as fast as she could. Unfortunately though, she didn't get far as Tirek jumped over and landed right in front of her, knocking her to the ground before picking her up and devouring her magic as well. Tirek then uncaringly tossed the de-powered Somnambula away like an empty juice box. "Ahhhh. The perfect dessert to a legendary meal." He said gleefully. *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!* A screech from above caught the centaur's attention. While Rodan did his best to fight off Monster Zero, ultimately he proved to be no match for the three-headed titan. When the pterosaur flew closer to attack King Ghidorah again, the right and left heads lashed out with frightening speed like two vipers striking their prey, and grabbed onto Rodan's wings with their jaws; the left head bit the right wing and the right head bit the left wing, respectively. Like wolves working together to bring down large prey, the two side heads restrained Rodan's wings and held him in place, allowing the middle head to unleash its Gravity Beam on the helpless titan point-blank, blasting Rodan out of the skies and seriously injuring him! "Ha! That's gotta hurt." Tirek chuckled at the sight of Rodan falling and crashing to the ground. "Nulucus was right, these monsters are excellent weapons to conquer Equestria!" With that, the centaur resumed heading to Canterlot. School of Friendship Starlight, Trixie, and the Young Six were currently evacuating the School of Friendship students to the crystal catacombs underground as quickly as they could. Loud thunder continued roaring outside, followed by flashes of lightning, but Starlight Glimmer tried to ignore that at the moment and keep her students calm. "Stay with your buddy! No running! Just follow Counselor Trixie!" Starlight called out, looking at Trixie carefully taking and leading the students down the catacombs. It was not long before they all heard the taunting voice of Chrysalis among the sounds of thunder outside. "Starlight, star bright~. Where's the pony I want to fight?!" Chrysalis was tauntingly singing outside the school, attempting to draw out her primary target. "I have to go. You got this?" Starlight hopefully asked her friend, knowing that there was no more time to waste. "Nopony does a great and powerful escape like Trixie." The magician unicorn said in the third-person with a confident smile. Starlight happily hugged her before teleporting outside to confront Chrysalis. ... The former villain appeared atop one of the rooftops of the School of Friendship, behind Chrysalis. The former changeling Queen quickly spotted her and smirked with delight before landing in front of Starlight, eager to get her revenge after what happened the last time they met. "Ah. Just the headmare I want to see." Chrysalis grinned. "You didn't make an appointment!" Starlight said before suddenly leaping forward and tackling Chrysalis, teleporting them both in a flash of blue light when they were thrown off the roof. Arctic North In another flash of blue light, Starlight and Chrysalis appeared in the frozen wasteland, somewhere at the edge of Equestria's borders. This remote location was out of the thunderstorm's reach, but was no more safe — for thunder and lightning were replaced by howling winds and temperatures that were below freezing. And in Starlight's case, there was one more threat other than the hostile weather. "What is this place?" Chrysalis demanded, looking around in surprise. "Somewhere you can't hurt anypony!" Starlight declared, preparing for battle. "Wrong." Chrysalis said as her horn started glowing green. "I can hurt you!" The changeling quickly unleashed a green-colored beam of magic, only for Starlight to teleport out of the way. Appearing behind the villain, Chrysalis noticed her and attempted to strike again, only for the unicorn to evade her blast once more. Starlight continued appearing and disappearing from one spot to another, evading Chrysalis' blasts each time. "Stay still so I can blast you!" The annoyed changeling yelled out. "Oh, yeah, real motivating!" Starlight sarcastically and tauntingly said, appearing atop a snow-covered rock formation. With reflexes the unicorn barely anticipated, Chrysalis quickly unleashed another blast at her, this time nearly hitting her. Starlight fell down, bruised but not seriously harmed. Looking up, she noticed a much larger and taller rock formation covered with thick layers of snow — and that gave her an idea. Teleporting near the top of said rock formation, Starlight scanned the area for her opponent... just as Chrysalis appeared right in front of her, hissing and ready to attack! Starlight blasted Chrysalis away with a blue beam of magic, but the changeling was quick to recover. "You'll pay for that!" Chrysalis declared. "Put it on my tab!" Starlight said with a smirk before disappearing and teleporting behind Chrysalis. Using her magic to self-levitate, Starlight unleashed a powerful blast of magic from her horn, but not at Chrysalis — the beam went past the changeling and struck the giant rock formation that Starlight was previously standing on. The resulting blast caused an avalanche, giving Chrysalis barely enough time to react. "No!" Chrysalis tried to fly as fast as she could to escape said avalanche, but the giant wave of snow was too fast, and buried her under what could possibly be several tons of snow! Starlight safely teleported away before the avalanche could claim her too, and re-appeared on the ground. While Starlight Glimmer may not be quite as powerful as some of the other allies of the Mane Six, like Discord or Godzilla, she certainly made up for it in intelligence and pragmatism. Starlight calmly turned and prepared to leave, but the battle wasn't over just yet; just as Starlight began walking away, a faint green light could be seen illuminating from within the mass of snow... right before Chrysalis exploded out of the mass in a powerful greenish explosion! The resulting shockwave caught Starlight off guard and sent her flying, knocking her out in the process. The evil changeling quickly took this opportunity to unleash her green slime-like substance that she uses to cocoon her prey. Wrapping up Starlight like how a spider wraps a moth in silk after catching it, Chrysalis brought the now-cocooned unicorn to her face. "Now I'll have all eternity to take my revenge on you!" She said eagerly before flying off with her prisoner. Canterlot Monster Zero flew down and landed to the ground, eager to finish off the crippled Rodan who was laying on the ground, barely conscious and almost motionless. But before he had a chance to do so, a loud 'thud' stopped the extraterrestrial dragon in his tracks; looking farther North, King Ghidorah saw his old rival approaching him. Having sensed the overwhelming negative energy, there was no way Godzilla could ignore this, especially with both Equestrian villains and enemy titans present at once. Looking closely, Godzilla noticed the wounds and injuries he inflicted on King Ghidorah about a year ago have all completely healed and disappeared. The three heads glared at the Monster King hatefully, aware of what he did to them that same year despite currently being under the control of Nulucus — the head in the middle let out a challenging roar at Godzilla, the head on the right glared and sneered at him, while the head on the left glared calmly and hatefully. Godzilla took a deep breath, and unleashed his mighty roar at his old foe! *SSKRREEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGK!* With an equally-threatening shriek from Monster Zero, the two titans began charging at one another roarinly before colliding! The force of their clash created a brief shockwave that reached all the way to Canterlot! Godzilla quickly made his move by grabbing the head on the right, clamping its jaws shut with his hands, and proceeding to to deliver a bite of his own at its neck! As he was doing that, the middle head coiled around and sank its teeth in Godzilla's left shoulder while the Monster King was simultaneously biting the right head! With a loud roar, Godzilla forcefully slammed the right head against the ground, before grabbing the middle head by the throat and yanking it off his shoulder. The left head took the opportunity to lunge forward and bite Godzilla's right shoulder, causing immense pain to the saurian. Fighting through the pain, Godzilla grabbed the left head with his right clawed hand while holding off the middle head with his left one, but the right head took this opportunity to recover. The right head lunged and bit Godzilla's left hip, forcing him to release the middle head, who in turn shot a quick Gravity Beam at the saurian's face! With a roar of surprise, Godzilla released the left head and toppled to the ground. King Ghidorah took a few steps back to put some distance between himself and Godzilla, with the right head tauntingly roaring at the fallen saurian. The Monster King was quick to rise again, and continue this battle! ... Inside the throne room of Canterlot, Cozy Glow's new-found alicorn powers were proving to be greater than anypony could have anticipated. The Royal Guard unicorns were relentlessly firing beams of magic from their horns at the hovering Cozy, but none of them even fazed her due to the bubble-like shield Cozy placed around herself. The villainous pony even took the opportunity to mockingly pout at them. Angered by her taunts and inability to faze her, the Royal Guards began charging at Cozy furiously, only for the vile filly to create a portal right in front of their path, which lead to the outside moat. Not being able to react in time, all the Royal Guards fell through the portal right before it closed, leaving them locked outside the castle. The evil pony laughed giddily, already becoming drunk with her new powers. "Stand down, Cozy Glow!" Celestia demanded with a stomp from her hoof. "Gee, I guess I could." Cozy said with a fake innocent look. "But... I'm having too much fun!" She exclaimed before firing another powerful beam of magic at Celestia, Luna and Twilight. Thankfully, the Princess of Friendship was easily able to block the attack with a shield. After the assault, Celestia turned to Luna. "Ready, sister?" To which Luna nodded, before they both took to the air. Glaring at Cozy Glow (who was still unfazed), the two former Princesses unleashed their respective beams of magic at her. However, just before the beams could reach her, Cozy casually levitated a rather small blueish crystal (the very same one that absorbed Discord's powers earlier) with her magic and placed it in front of herself. The instant the two beams made contact with the crystal, it began to rapidly absorb and drain their magic, to the point that neither Luna nor Celestia could actually stop firing their beams... at least, not until they were completely drained of their magic and dropped to the ground like flies. "NO!" A horrified and grief-stricken Twilight Sparkle quickly raced down to check if they aren't too badly hurt. "That's the problem with you magic-types. You're so reliant on all your special power, you forget to use your brains!" Cozy Glow continued to taunt and boast about her intelligence and ability to manipulate others. Having had enough of her ego and smart-mouth, the Princess of Friendship angrily turned to the evil filly. "Keep telling yourself that! Now!" Out of nowhere, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Spike jumped from behind Twilight's throne to began their own assault on the young villain! ... Outside in the raging storm, Godzilla was locked in a battle against his own foe. With a surprise attack, Ghidorah's right head blasted Godzilla directly in the face with a Gravity Beam, earning a groan of pain from the mutant saurian! Having had enough, Godzilla's dorsal spines began flashing and lighting up with the famous neon-blue light, followed by the Monster King opening his jaws and unleashing his Atomic Breath at Monster Zero! Unfortunately, just when the beam was about to strike him, due to their very long necks, the middle and left heads quickly move out of the way, allowing the blue beam to harmlessly pass between them before all three heads counterattacked by unleashing their Gravity Beams at once! Godzilla didn't have any time to react as all three beams struck him squarely in the chest, causing him to stagger back and fall to the ground. Energy was still streaming from his mouth as he fell, it went sideways, incinerating nearby trees in less than a second before the blue beam ceased. With his enemy temporary knocked down, Monster Zero spread his wings, lifted his heads, and let out the most frighting and bone-chilling death song any creature could hear! But this wasn't a taunt or a victory roar... it was an alarm — a signal. Godzilla Junior unleashed several blasts of his Heat Ray at Aggregate Destroyah, managing to successfully push it back. But the crustacean countered by unleashing several of its own blasts of Micro-Oxygen, earning a roar of pain from the Monster Prince. Above them, Mothra was battling the Flying Destoroyah; firing pinkish beams from her antenna and countering Destoroyah's Micro-Oxygen Ray with relative ease. But that soon changed when all four monsters suddenly heard the shriek from afar. While Junior and Mothra were confused (if not intimidated), the two Destoroyahs realized that the time was getting near. Without warning, the Flying Destoryah abandoned its fight with Mothra and flew down — but not to attack Junior. The Flying Destoroyah was flying straight toward the Aggregate one, and upon reaching it, a bright orange light appeared and consumed both Destoroyahs. After the light faded and disappeared, in the place of the two monsters now stood the demonic Perfect Form of Destoroyah! The evil titan turned his attention to Godzilla Junior and Mothra, but instead of attacking Destoroyah did something unexpected — spreading its four dragon-like wings, Destoroyah took to the sky and started flying East. Junior and Mothra were left very confused by this, but Mothra was unwilling to the let the evil monster escape. Giving Junior a series of chirps, Mothra turned and quickly began to fly after Destoroyah. Back inside the throne room, now that Cozy Glow has drained the former Princesses of their magic and overpowered the Royal Guards, it was up to the Mane Six and Spike to defeat her! Rainbow Dash did the first move by quickly going in and flying repeated circles around Cozy with such speed that it left the villainous filly spinning like a fidget spinner, disorientating her. When Cozy stopped spinning, she was (literally) met face-to-face with Pinkie Pie's Party Bazooka. "Surprise attack!" Pinkie (who was levitated by Rarity) shouted, blasting Cozy in the face with confetti and smoke, disorientating her even more. Not giving the evil pony a chance to recover, Fluttershy appeared behind her with a swarm of geese. "Fly, my pretties!" Fluttershy said, and in response, the geese charged at the surprised Cozy, briefly knocking her around. Spike took this opportunity to fly up and breathe a wave of green fire at her, which Cozy managed to dodge. The villainous pony turned to attack Spike, only to get attacked herself and distracted by Pinkie Pie with her Party Bazooka, shortly followed by the attacking swarm of geese! Angered, Cozy tried to blast the geese but was nearly blasted herself by one of Spike's fire-balls, forcing her to put some distance between them. She tried again to blast Spike, but the swarm of geese made sure that didn't happen, distracting her one last time, and allowing for Applejack to throw her lasso and catch the evil pony in mid-air, pulling her to the ground shortly after! Grounded, Cozy Glow angrily glared at the Mane Six and Spike who have surrounded her, giving her nasty glares of their own. Twilight spread her wings and lightened her horn, ready to take the blue crystal and apprehend her — but just as she was about to do so, a bright glow from behind caught Cozy Glow's attention, followed by a malicious smile forming on her face, as she knew what's coming. Cozy spread her wings and took off, just in time before the large circular-shaped windows behind Twilight's throne shattered, sending a shockwave that sent the Mane Six, Spike and the former Princesses flying backwards! Much to their horror, Chrysalis and Tirek entered the throne room through the now-destroyed window. Tirek even took the time to knock over Twilight's throne, revealing the powerless Discord hiding behind it, who Cozy levitated and threw near the others. Twilight was quick to create a purple-colored shield around all of them as a last means to protect them all. ... Outside, Godzilla threw King Ghidorah around like a rag-doll, despite the space dragon's greater size and weight. But as Godzilla was approaching the fallen monster, ready to finish him, he was suddenly struck from behind by a pinkish-beam, earning a roar of surprise and pain from him. Turning around, Godzilla was shocked to see Destoroyah flying in and landing on the ground near him — at that very same moment, King Ghidorah got up and turned to Godzilla. The King of Monsters looked uneasy about this; while he had faced and defeated many foes in the past, he has never faced two of his most powerful and dangerous enemies at once — but either way, Godzilla will not yield! He will fight to his last breath if he has to! With a roar of rage, Destoroyah started charging at Godzilla on foot, attempting to impale him with his horn! But the Monster King didn't earn his reputation for his power alone — he also had brains in addition to brawn. Quickly moving out of his path, Godzilla grabbed Destoroyah by the back of his neck and threw him at King Ghidorah, knocking them both down! Spines lighting up, Godzilla fired his Heat Ray at them, but both Destoroyah and Ghidorah quickly recovered in time and counterattacked with their respective Micro-Oxygen Ray and Gravity Beams, easily blocking the Atomic Breath when they clashed! As powerful as Godzilla's main weapon was, the combined energy beams from both monsters proved too much for even him, and it quickly became evident when their respective beams started pushing back his own blue one... before they both blasted Godzilla in the face and chest, knocking the Monster King backwards onto the ground! Just as it seemed that Monster Zero and Destoroyah would finally have their victory, a loud chirp was heard by all three titans. Looking up, the two villainous kaiju noticed Mothra flying towards them to assist Godzilla, who was quick to recover and resume his battle now that he too had an ally to back him up! Mothra thrusts her abdomen forward, launch a hail of poisonous stingers straight at Destoroyah's face, making him roar in pain and irritation. King Ghidorah's heads angrily turned to the Queen of the Monsters, ready to blast her, but he was instead blasted himself by Godzilla's Heat Ray! Destoroyah, meanwhile, flapped his wings and flew straight toward Mothra, who began releasing golden powder-like scales from her wings in an effort to deter him. ... Inside the throne room, the three villains have nearly defeated Twilight Sparkle and her friends, who were all under Twilight's protective barrier. But this did not deter them the least bit, and they proceeded to boast and taunt the heroes. "You think your pathetic shield can stop us?" Chrysalis asked mockingly, landing on the top of Twilight's shield. "The Pillars have been defeated. Your school is abandoned. Face it, Twilight. You've lost!" The Princess of Friendship glared at the three villains without any fear. "You can attack us and we may fall. But Equestria will still stand, united in friendship. And we have Godzilla and his allies who won't stop until they and we defeat you, no matter how many ponies you take down!" She said with determination and hope, while her friends were quick to back her up. The three villains momentarily looked confused at the determined speech she gave... before they all bursted into laughter as if Twilight said something stupid or retarded. "Didn't you all notice something was wrong in Equestria?" Tirek asked coyly. "We've been busy." "A whisper here, a rumor there..." Chrysalis added. "Destroy some crops, cause some damage..." Tirek continued. "Turn pony against pony..." Cozy Glow also added, floating around the shield. "Until your whole kingdom is on edge, waiting for just one tiny thing to push them over the brink!" Chrysalis said gleefully while floating next to Tirek. "And about your pets..." The centaur chuckled lightly before pointing at the nearby windows with his thumb. "Why don't you take a look outside?" ... *SKREEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGGK!* With a slash from his Horn Katana, Destoroyah sent Mothra crashing on the ground, followed by the evil monster stomping down on the Guardian kaiju! Godzilla, meanwhile, was trying his best to at least knock King Ghidorah away so he can save Mothra, but the three-headed titan wrapped his two prehensile tails around him, while two of the three heads were simultaneously biting him. The middle head was biting at Godzilla's neck while the left head biting his left arm, and they were soon joined by Destoroyah, who bit Godzilla's right shoulder. With all his might, the saurian tried to break free from their hold, but the two monsters' combined strength proved too much for even the Monster King alone to overcome. Finally, the two heads that were biting onto Godzilla began releasing strong electric shocks through their bites, visibly lighting Godzilla's body up with golden-colored electricity — and at that very same moment, Destoroyah began releasing lethal doses of micro-oxygen into Godzilla's body via his own bite! *SKEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGK!* Godzilla shrieked in pain and agony! For all of his years of battle, this had to be the worst possible pain that the King of Monsters has ever experienced over the course of his long life! His consciousness began to waver, his vision became blurry, his muscles started weakening, until finally... the mighty King of the Monsters fell on his knees and collapsed to the ground! ... "NO!" A horrified Twilight Sparkle shouted at the top of her lungs as she and her friends looked in horror at the sight of Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan being defeated and seriously crippled by the two evil monsters. "Look's like the big lizard's finally met his match." Chrysalis said mockingly, looking at the sight of the defeated Godzilla in delight and amusement. "Since you had that big lizard and those other overgrown pests, we figured it's only fair for us to have some giant monsters of our own." Cozy Glow said with an equally-delighted look. "There's no backup friends or rainbow magic to save you now!" Tirek added. "Golly, I think it's time for some redecorating!" Cozy said with a sadistic grin, to which Tirek and Chrysalis grinned back. Turning around to face the spot where Twilight's throne used to be, the three villains all fired their combined energy blasts, which merged into one extremely powerful orange-colored beam that completely obliterated a sizable portion of the castle in an instant! The Mane Six, Spike, Discord, Celestia and Luna watched in horror at the terrifying display of the villains' new-found combined power. "You know what's stronger than friendship, Twilight?" Chrysalis asked before suddenly lunging at Twilight's face. "Fear!" Almost instantly, the frightened alicorn's purple shield briefly turned green before shattering like glass! " 'Cause when you have to protect yourself, you don't have time for anypony else." Tirek said, levitating Twilight with his magic and bringing her to them, before grabbing the Princess of Friendship by her wings and lifting her in front of his face as Cozy Glow and Chrysalis came to his side. "Too bad you never taught that in school." Cozy mockingly added. For as vile as the three villains were, they were right about one thing: Fear is a frighteningly powerful tool for dividing others. Because when faced with a crisis, they have no time for being friendly or charitable, only for self-preservation. With sadistic grins, Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and Tirek began charging up their attacks, preparing to finish off Twilight Sparkle, their most hated enemy, once and for all. But out of nowhere, a large boulder came flying and smashing into the three villains, dropping Twilight in the process. The Princess of Friendship looked back in surprise to see that the pony who saved her was Rarity, who smiled at her, to which Twilight smiled back. But the moment was short-lived, the three villains quickly recovered and fired their combined energy blast at the heroes! Thinking fast, Twilight quickly levitated a large piece of the broken castle wall and used it as a shield, managing to block the combined energy beam! "Go, Twilight! Get help!" Rarity exclaimed, moving in to help hold off the attack for as long as she could. "We'll hold 'em 'til you get back!" Applejack yelled, joining Rarity. "No! I can't leave you here!" Twilight protested, unwilling to let her friends stay behind while she escaped. "It's our only chance!" Fluttershy reasoned, joining them as well. "You'll come up with something to save the day!" Rainbow Dash pointed out before flying in to help the others. "You always do!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, also joining her friends' effort to hold off the attack, quickly accompanied by Celestia and Luna. "We believe in you!" Spike said confidently. "Fly, you foal!" Discord grabbed the Princess and yelled in her face before pushing her back and running in to help the others. A tearful Twilight looked on as all of her friends piled in, trying with their very best effort to hold off the blast. She then looked through the destroyed part of the castle to see Godzilla laying on the ground motionlessly along with Rodan and Mothra. With tears pouring from her eyes, the grief-stricken Twilight's horn lightened up with magic before she disappeared in a flash of purple light, just as the combined energy blast of the villains finally overwhelmed the heroes! 4 Hours Later; Canterlot It was the darkest hour in Equestria, as not only were the protectors of this world defeated, but so were the titan cavalry in what may very well be, single-handedly, the worst disaster that Equestria has ever seen the likes of. Most of the Mane Six, the Pillars, the former Princesses, and Discord have all been defeated and captured, and even Godzilla and some of his powerful allies have been subsequently defeated by King Ghidorah and Destoroyah, who were currently under the control of the villains. Outside, Ghidorah and Destoroyah piled the three defeated titans in one spot, with the unconscious Rodan laying atop of the unconscious Godzilla, and Mothra on Godzilla's tail. If it wasn't for Nulucus' mind-control on them, Monster Zero and Destoroyah would have killed the three titans and started fighting one another to the death. ... Meanwhile, the three villains have imprisoned Twilight's friends, Discord, the former Princesses, and the Pillars in the catacombs under Canterlot Castle, and using the magic-canceling shards of Chrysalis' old throne to keep their magic subdued. Twilight's friends, Celestia, Luna, and the Pillars were currently trapped in prison cells, but in the place of bars, their exits were blocked by the green slime-like substance that Chrysalis often used to cocoon her victims. Starlight Glimmer was imprisoned in a bird-like cage, hanging from the ceiling, and Discord was wrapped in chains, near the cell of Twilight's friends, though his legs and arms were still free. "And now for your complete destruction! Won't that be fun?" Cozy Glow asked Twilight's imprisoned friends with a sick twisted smile not unlike that of a psychopath. "Patience, Cozy." Chrysalis said, approaching her. "Destruction is so... permanent. We need to show the rest of Equestria that we've broken their heroes first. Besides, we should have fun with our guests." "No! We should hunt down Twilight Sparkle. As long as she's out there, she's dangerous." Tirek said with concern, knowing full well that she is their prime threat. "Is that big, strong minotaur that scared of one little pony?" Chrysalis asked with a tone that's a mix of teasing and mockery. "Relax. It's not like her friends are going anywhere." "Still, knowing Twilight Sparkle's escaped is not something worth ignoring." A new voice suddenly called out, turning everyone's attention to the East side of the cavern, where a drider-like creature approached the villains. Just from looking at it, Twilight's friends could instantly tell that this was the being responsible for freeing the villains, judging by Discord's description of him. "Ahh~... Nulucus, so glad you could join us." Chrysalis said with a grin. "So you're the one behind all this?!" An outraged Applejack demanded while pointing her hoof at the drider-like alien, who casually walked over to their cell. "Guilty as charged, as you often say." Nulucus said, mockingly raising his hand. "But you don't need to worry about me being a threat to Equestria, that honor solely belongs to them." He pointed at Chrysalis, Cozy and Tirek. "I just came here to take Godzilla and your other big friends." This placed looks of shock and surprise upon everyone in the cavern except the villains. "It's the reason why I came to your world and freed some of your adversaries in the first place. Oh, and I'm also the one who brought some of those other monsters here: including King Ghidorah and Orga." "You're the one who brought those monsters to Equestria?!" Rainbow Dash asked, angered just like the rest at this shocking revelation. "Some, but not all." Nulucus corrected her. "I only brought King Ghidorah, SpaceGodzilla, and Orga. I found Destoroyah here by surprise." He admitted before using his powers telekinetically levitate the small blue crystal that was in Cozy Glow's possession and bring it back to him. "Hey!" Cozy exclaimed angrily. "No fair!" "I told you Cozy Glow, you can only have a small portion of my crystal before I take it back." Nulucus reminded her before fusing the small crystal with his larger one, making Cozy huff in disappointment. "Who are you, anyway?" Spike asked. "My name is Nulucus, and I'm from the M Space Hunter Nebula." Nulucus introduced himself to the ponies. "I'm what you call an alien. Me and my people have constantly invaded Godzilla's home world, using other extraterrestrial monsters similar to Ghidorah to do it. Like, for example, Gigan." Twilight's friends gasped in surprise; the Elias told them all about the scythe-handed cyborg titan that Godzilla and his allies have faced many times before, and eventually defeated. "And when we realized that Godzilla and many other monsters are being transported here, I was tasked to come here and harvest them." "What do you want with Godzilla and his friends, buster?" Pinkie Pie fiercely asked. "Oh, nothing much," Nulucus casually answered. "Just use their power to make them our slaves and then use them to conquer his own home world." Hearing this earned Nulucus the hated looks and wrathful glares of not just Twilight's friends, but all the other heroes that were imprisoned in the catacomb. Hearing that he wished to force Godzilla and his friends to attack and invade their birth-world was something that they truly detested; it would be the same as someone placing Twilight Sparkle and her friends under mind-control and forcing them to take over Equestria. "You beastly beast!" Rarity angrily shrieked. "Oh, and one more thing." Cozy Glow called out. "There's a really big asteroid called Gorath that's heading for Equestria right now. And when it collides, well... no more Equestria!" Once again, the catacombs were filled with horrified gasps of shock and disbelief. As if having to do deal with three of their worst villains and giant rampaging monsters wasn't enough, now they had an asteroid heading for Equestria?! While they would question what benefit this asteroid will do for the villains once it collided, they were too shocked and horrified to think thoroughly about it. "But none of this would be possible without the Crystal of Te-Ui." Nulucus said, lifting the bluish crystal in his hand. "This crystal gives me immense power, and it also steals the powers from other creatures. Isn't that right, Discord?" Nulucus mockingly asked, turning to the draconequus, who glared at him hatefully. "And don't bother calling for help from the Elias, because I'm using my telepathy to block them from reaching you!" Even more gasps and hated glares filled the catacombs, all of them directed mainly at Nulucus. "So~, Nulucus..." Cozy Glow called out again, turning his attention to her. "What are the chances that you're gonna give me Discord's and the Princess alicorn's powers?" She asked with an 'innocent' look. "What do you mean give you their powers?" Chrysalis suddenly got in Cozy's face, followed by Tirek. "Um, hello? I'm the best one out of all of us!" Cozy said with pride. "What are you talking about?!" Tirek yelled. "The best at what?!" Chrysalis asked threateningly. "Enough!" Nulucus yelled, stopping their bickering before approaching them. "Even if I wanted to give you their powers, none of you could gain it. This crystal does not take one's powers and give it to another. It only takes the power, and gives it back to the original user if willed to. Nothing more than that." This placed looks of disappointment on the three villains' faces. While the villains were conversing with one another, Discord took the opportunity to approach the cell of his friends. "Listen, I have a crazy plan that might just get us all out of here." He whispered to them quietly. "Discord, please don't try anything that might make things worse." Spike begged, uneasy of Discord's chaotic ways. "At this point, I'm willing to go with even Discord's crazy ideas." Rainbow Dash said, knowing that they were in a race against time, with Gorath fast approaching Equestria. "Trust me, this is gonna work... I hope." Discord said, gulping in uneasiness himself. Picking up a crystal fragment, Discord called out to Nulucus. "Hey, Crabby!" Turning his and the other villain's attention to him, preparing their attacks if he tried anything foolish. "If you're so smart, why have you failed so many times to take over Godzilla's world before? Is it because you and your kind are a bunch of crabs with shells for brains?" Discord tauntingly asked. Nulucus glared at the Lord of Chaos with his six eyes while a vein started forming on his head, no doubt offended and angered. "At least he's not the one who's powerless and wrapped in chains, is he?" Tirek said, folding his arms. "Oh? Do you have something better up in your head, you muscle-bound cretin?" Discord asked casually, looking at the crystal fragment in his eagle claw. "This 'cretin' could destroy you before you blink, so choose your next words carefully." Tirek warned, threateningly punching the palm of his hand. "You're right. 'Cretin' is too polite." Discord said, before casually walking over to the villains while tossing his crystal fragment around. "How about 'pathetic centaur who uses magic to compensate for the fact that deep down he's afraid he'll never be enough to please dear old dad," He got in Tirek's face before saying... "King Vorak'?" Fueled by rage and anger over what he just said, Tirek furiously fired a beam of magic from between his horns at Discord, who quickly shielded himself with the crystal fragment! Upon contact, the beam pushed Discord back before being reflected into several smaller beams of the same magic. The small beams bounced around the crystal cavern like crazy (with several nearly hitting the four villains) before they all ceased. "Hahahaha! You missed!" Cozy laughed at Discord, quickly deducing his plan to insult one of them and anger them enough to make them attack him with their magic, and then reflect said magic in hopes of freeing one of his friends. But apparently he failed. "Did he, though?!" Everyone heard the familiar voice of Starlight Glimmer and looked up to see that one of Tirek's reflected beams had hit and destroyed the shard that was holding her captive. Having regained her magic, Starlight easily freed herself by cutting the bird cage in half. "Get her!" Chrysalis yelled, followed by the four villains unleashing their energy beams at Starlight — with Nulucus firing beams of blue energy from his hands. As with her battle against Chrysalis before, Starlight used her 'I'm-here-I'm-there-I'm-everywhere' tactic to rapidly teleport from one spot to another, easily dodging the blasts of the villains. While doing so, Starlight was also carefully leading the villains away from Twilight's friends. Once the villains were far enough, still looking for her, Starlight teleported to the cell of Twilight's friends. "Get Twilight!" Applejack said. "No way! She's always needed you guys!" Starlight said before levitating off the ground and releasing a wave of magic that instantly disintegrated the green substance on all the cages and cells, freeing all the imprisoned heroes! But shortly after she did so, a blue beam from Nulucus zapped Starlight from behind while the three other villains began approaching her! Fortunately, Celestia and Luna landed to confront them, with Celestia landing above Starlight to protect her — and both were ready for another fight! Nulucus chuckled at this. "Oh my dear former Princesses, do you truly intend to fight us like that?" He asked tauntingly, amused that Celestia and Luna were magicless and still wanted to battle them. "We do." Celestia growled with determination before turning to Twilight's friends. "Find Twilight! We may not have our magic, but we aren't completely helpless! We'll hold them off as long as we can!" With that, she, Luna and Starlight charged at Nulucus, Cozy Glow, Tirek and Chrysalis! Twilight's friends backed away in surprise, with Discord watching in horror. "That was epic, Discord!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed with a bright smile. "Never should have doubted you!" Spike said with a smile of his own. "Just save Equestria. And keep Fluttershy safe!" Discord yelled before they quickly made their escape while he joined the fight by throwing crystal shards at the villains as his means of attack. Destroying a brick wall with her rear hooves, Applejack and her friends managed to escape. But upon escaping from the catacombs under Canterlot Castle and arriving in the city, Twilight's friends were 'greeted' by a lone unicorn stallion carrying a full bag on his back. "Why are you out in the open?! Hide!" He yelled, shivering in fright and looking around hysterically. "Where is everypony?" Rarity asked, noticing that there were no civilian ponies outside, and Canterlot as a whole was almost like a ghost town. "The unicorns have been gathering in Celestia's School of Magic ever since the attack. That's where I was headed when I saw you." He explained. "What about the Earth ponies and Pegasi?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's everypony for themselves." He said casually. "That ain't right." Applejack said, unwilling to accept this. "Well, you can all stand out here and debate. I'm goin' where I'm safe." He said before running off to Celestia's School of Magic. "Chrysalis was telling the truth. They really have turned ponies against each other." Spike said in horror, prompting Fluttershy to hide behind Pinkie Pie, knowing full well that with the ponies divided, the Magic of Friendship was significantly weakened. "Everypony's scared, that's all." Applejack said, trying to spread at least some positive energy under all this stress. "We just need to get to Ponyville and find Twilight pronto. She'll know how to set things right." With that, they began racing to Ponyville. ... Slowly but surely, Rodan opened his eyes and stirred, he looked around before noticing that he was been laying atop Godzilla this whole time while the latter was unconscious. Looking to his left, he also noticed Mothra motionlessly laying atop Godzilla's tail. Turning his head, Rodan saw the two dreaded monsters, Destoroyah and King Ghidorah, standing not too far from them, apparently guarding them, and they did not appear to be aware that he was awake. The Samurai of the Skies was confused by this; why would their most hated enemies knock them unconscious without killing them? Did they still need them for some reason? Whatever the case may be, Rodan knew that they now still had a chance to defeat them — the pterosaur's body began glowing with a faint orange-red light as he started to transfer some of his life energy to Godzilla. While this energy transfer was a slow process, it should go without a hitch as long as their enemies don't notice. Ponyville In Ponyville, the Earth ponies have gathered together from other towns and are in a state of extreme panic. With the fear and distrust the villains have spread over them, coupled with the villainous titans rampaging and the raging thunderstorm, their panicked states were understandable. Mayor Mare was doing her very best to keep everypony calm, but to no avail. "Please, stay calm! I know it seems bad, but there's no need to panic!" Mayor Mare yelled out from the top of her tower. "Give us one good reason not to!" An Earth pony mare by the name of Winter Lotus yelled back — she had a pink coat and a blue mane and tail. The other Earth ponies were quick to join her in their panicked states. "Because Ponyville's own heroes of Equestria are here to save us!" Mayor Mare sighed in relief and pointed turn to the approaching Mane Six (barring Twilight) and Spike. As soon as they got here, Applejack approached Big Mac, who was hugging Sugar Belle closely, Applebloom and Granny Smith. "Where'd all these ponies come from?" Applejack asked her family. "Earth ponies been pourin' in lookin' for somewhere safe." Granny Smith informed. "We don't have unicorn magic to protect us or a city in the sky to hide in like those cowardly Pegasi!" Winter Lotus angrily shouted at the heroins and Spike. "Cowardly?!" An extremely offended Rainbow Dash growled at her. A rumble from above caught their attention, and much to the shock of Rainbow Dash and the other heroes, they see that the Pegasi were blocking out Cloudsdale with a wall of clouds. "They're blocking Cloudsdale! Said they didn't want any 'grounded' ponies up in their business!" Winter Lotus huffed angrily. "Listen up, buddy—!" Rainbow Dash was about to give her a piece of her mind when Fluttershy got between them to ease the tension. "Don't!" Fluttershy pleaded. "That's exactly what Chrysalis and the others want. More fighting." She pointed out before turning to the other ponies. "We know you're scared. We're here to help." "You better fix this!" A random Earth pony mare shouted, prompting the other Earth ponies to continue their protests, forcing Fluttershy to back away and join her friends. "We should probably not tell them about Gorath." Spike whispered to his friends. "Probably a good idea. There's no tellin' how bad things could get with that." Applejack agreed. Their friends were all very quick to agree on the same note; informing them about the massive asteroid that was on a collision course with Equestria will be the 'tiny thing to push them over the brink', as Chrysalis put it. "Look! Up in the sky!" Pinkie suddenly shouted and points at the sky, prompting not just her friends, but also every Earth pony in Ponyville to turn their attention to the darkened sky! Much to their surprise, the ponies witnessed a flying moth-like creature (vaguely resembling Mothra) fly pass them, apparently heading for Canterlot. They didn't get a good look at it due to the creature flying at a very high altitude, but they did make out the butterfly or moth-like shape which reminded some of Mothra. "Battra." Fluttershy quietly muttered, realizing him as one of the kaiju that the Elias told them about. Battra was the dark counterpart to Mothra, and at one point, became an enemy of hers before he reformed. "We have no time for this!" Applejack said, snapping her friends out of their gazes. "We have to find Twilight! Where else could she be?" Spike had been one of Twilight's closest companions and has been with her longer than anyone else... and it was at this moment that the young dragon finally realized where his adopted sister was almost guaranteed to be. "I know where Twilight is!" He exclaimed with a snap of his claws. ... Battra, having just passed Ponyville, was on his way to Canterlot, but he was not going there to confront Destoroyah and Ghidorah — he was heading there because that was the spot where he anticipated the Gorath asteroid would hit! With Mothra and Rodan (the two flying kaiju on the side of good) out of commission, and Discord, Celestia and Luna powerless, Battra was the only one at the moment who can stop Gorath from colliding, and there was no time to waste! Destoroyah and King Ghidorah were still looking around and 'guarding' the three unconscious titans, until they both spotted Battra flying over them, seemingly coming to fight them. But much to their surprise, instead of flying down and attacking them like they expected, Mothra's dark counterpart instead flew upwards into the cloud-filled dark sky! Confused at first, the eyes of the two evil titans soon widened upon realizing the true reason behind Battra's unwillingness to challenge them — he was going to intercept Gorath! Quickly spreading their wings, Ghidorah and Destoroyah took off and began flying upwards with incredible speed to catch Battra before he could leave the stratosphere! But luck didn't seem to be on their side, because as soon as the two monsters were only 900 meters off the ground, a blue beam of energy shot out of nowhere and blasted both of them out of the sky at once! Battra, unaware that he was just saved, continued flying higher and higher until even his silhouette faded into the dark clouds. Crashing back to the ground, Destoroyah and King Ghidorah were quick to get up, and discover that the one that blasted them out of the sky was none other than the Monster King himself! They looked at Godzilla, completely healed and rejuvenated, now standing before them while Mothra and Rodan were still laying on the ground — but Rodan was very much conscious as he looked at Godzilla with pride in his eyes, because his life energy-transfer was a success, and just in the nick of time! Godzilla's energy and power were not only restored, but also boosted significantly thanks to Rodan's helping hand (or wing, in this case). The two evil titans let out their respective shrieks and roars at Godzilla, shocked and dumbfounded at the Monster King's unexpected recovery, but that won't stop them from trying to beat Godzilla within an inch of his life again. However, what made this upcoming battle different from the previous one, was that Godzilla seemed more than confident to take them on alone, where as before he was uncertain. *SKRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNGK!* Godzilla unleashed his iconic roar, followed by an Atomic Breath he fired from his mouth, which he aimed directly at Destoroyah! The mutant superorganism didn't have the time to dodge as he was knocked back(& down) by the blue beam that smashed into his chest, temporarily taking him out of the fight! With one less foe to worry about, the saurian turned his attention to the three-headed dragon. King Ghidorah, unwilling to be defeated so quickly and easily, let out his bell-like shrieks before flapping his wings and taking to the sky! Once a safe distance from the Monster King in the air, Monster Zero began firing his Gravity Beams from all three heads down at Godzilla, but the beams themselves did far less damage when they made contact with the mutant reptile — where as before Godzilla would roar out in pain, now he didn't even flinch when the golden electrical beams struck with seemingly no effect! Seeing this, Ghidorah ceased his Gravity Beams and began flying down toward Godzilla with immense speed, hoping to knock him out with his body weight. Godzilla stood his ground as King Ghidorah came toward him like a raging hawk, ready to deliver a powerful kick to his head. But the moment Ghidorah came and tried to kick Godzilla, the Monster King quickly caught both of his legs with his clawed hands and even managed to maintain his balance, absorbing the kinetic energy from Ghidorah's kick with little effort! The three heads looked with equal amount of shock and disbelief, which quickly turned into fear when Godzilla's dorsal spines began glowing with a fiery-red color while being surrounded by red-colored electricity. Knowing what's coming next, the three heads frantically began shooting their Gravity Beams at Godzilla in a desperate attempt to escape, but the Monster King won't budge; he continued holding Ghidorah's legs with a firm grip to prevent him from escaping, ignoring the onslaught of Gravity Beams. Finally, Godzilla opened his mouth... and unleashed his Uranium Atomic Heat Ray (a crimson-colored beam similar to the Nuclear Fusion Heat Ray, but far more powerful) at the three-headed monster point-blank! The thee heads screeched and shrieked in agonizing pain as the ultra-powerful heat beam struck him squarely in the chest with devastating ferocity and power! The agonizing cries of Ghidroah lasted less than 8 seconds before the three-headed dragon exploded in a spectacular explosion, briefly forming a fire-ball! After the explosion died down and disappeared, there was nothing left of Monster Zero — nothing but a few debris. King Ghidorah, possibly Godzilla's deadliest and most hated enemy, had just been destroyed once and for all! But the defeat of King Ghidorah wasn't without cost; Godzilla began feeling exhausted and depleted, because he just used-up all the extra power that Rodan gave him in that final attack to obliterate the Triple-Domed Terror for good, and he cannot preform the same attack on Destoroyah. But at least that also meant that he now had one less threat to worry about. Meanwhile, Battra had just passed the stratosphere of Equestria, and he continued flying higher and higher to reach his approaching target. By the time he reached the mesosphere, he could finally see the approaching Gorath asteroid with his crimson eyes; it was over 200 meters in diameter and only a kilometer away from himself — but that distance quickly started shrinking as the two start getting closer to one another with every passing second. In an attempt to (at the very least) slow down Gorath, Battra fired Prism Beams from his eyes at the approaching asteroid, but it did little in slowing it down, let alone damaging it. But the Divine Moth would not relent, he continued firing his beams even as the distance between himself and Gorath continued shortening. This may not be his birth-world, but just like Godzilla and most of the other titans, Battra became fond of Equestria, and he will protect it with his life if he has to, from all manner of threats, be they other kaiju or celestial objects! In a matter of a few minutes, the 1 kilometer distance between Battra (who was still firing his Prism Beams) and Gorath was now only a 600 meter distance, and still shrinking. Battra mentally smiled to himself, remembering Tempest Shadow and all the other ponies that have shown him kindness, even if he does not make it out alive, he will always be remembered by them... and he will always remember them. The 600 meter distance between Battra and Gorath was soon reduced to only 40 meters. 30 meters... 20 meters... 10 meters... 0 Back near Canterlot, Destoroyah stared at Godzilla with a mix of anger, shock and even fear! He could barely comprehend the awesome power that the King of Monsters just displayed and used to instantly annihilate his three-headed ally. But what he didn't know, was that Godzilla can't preform that same feat again, now that he had exhausted all of it to destroy Ghidorah — but that didn't mean that he was helpless or defenseless in any way. The two monsters stared each other down like two gunmen pointing guns at one another, both hesitant to make even the slightest move. But neither needed to do anything... Without any kind of warning, both titans were caught off-guard by a powerful explosion in the sky! An explosion so unbelievably powerful that its shockwave reached all the way to the ground and made the dark clouds momentarily disperse, allowing almost every creature on the ground to witness a huge ball of light in the sky that nearly reached the stratosphere, moments before it died down and disappeared, which allowed the dark clouds to reform. Intentionally shocked at first, Godzilla quickly deduced and realized the cause behind this sudden event: Battra had succeeded in stopping Gorath... But at the cost of his own life. Crystal Empire After an hour or two, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Spike arrived at the Crystal Empire, one of the few places in Equestria that was currently out of the reach of the raging thunderstorm, though that didn't make things any less worrisome. Opening the front doors, Twilight's friends were greeted by Shining Armor, Princess Cadance and Flurry Heart sitting on their thrones before them. "Oh, thank Celestia you're all alright." Cadance said in relief. "She's upstairs. It's... not good." ... Entering one of the palace rooms, they found their friend looking at various notes and books, desperately trying to find a way to reverse this disaster, but with no success of such a thing.. "You're here?!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed in surprise upon seeing her friends here, and they all quickly joined in and have a group-hug. "I was so worried! Where are the Princesses?" "They put up a crazy fight so we could escape and find you!" Pinkie Pie said cheerfully. "Mission accomplished! Now let's save Equestria! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah!" At the same time, party confetti and a banner with Twilight's face drawn on it appeared without any explanation. However, Twilight herself did not look as pleased nor as happy as any of her friends — quite the opposite, she seemed even more scared. "They made a terrible mistake. You all did." She said with a despair-filled voice. "From the second I got away, I've been searching every book, scroll, and spell for a way to rescue you and Godzilla, and stop Chrysalis, Tirek, Cozy, Ghidorah and Destoroyah, but I haven't found anything. I've also been trying to contact the Elias several times by now, but they aren't responding at all, which means something must have happened to them as well. I failed." Twilight turned her back and sat down, having lost all of her confidence and courage she had not too long ago. "You'll come up with something." Spike ran up to her, hoping to put some confidence in his adopted sister. "We can't save Equestria without you." "You all escaped without my help. You didn't need me then. So why would anypony need me now?" Twilight asked as she walked past her friends, still unable to recover from her trauma of having apparently already lost both the battle and the war. "We know things look bad," Rainbow Dash said. "But we've been in tough spots before, and we always—" "Look around! Nothing we've ever done has mattered!" Twilight suddenly exclaimed. "Orga destroyed the Tree of Harmony! Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow returned and more powerful than ever! The School of Friendship is shut down! Everypony in Equestria is so blinded by fear, they can't remember what friendship is! Godzilla and his friends are defeated and none of us have the necessary power to fight Ghidorah or Destoroyah! Nothing we do makes any difference!" She exclaimed before resting her head against the desk, unable to cope with what has just happened. "Should we uhhh... tell her about Gorath?" Spike asked the others worriedly. But before any of them could answer or respond, and invisible force suddenly smashed the nearby windows open, startling the seven friends inside. None of them knew it, but the invisible force that did this was the shockwave from Battra's collision course with Gorath. Looking through the window, however, Twilight and her friends were greeted by an unwelcoming sight: The clouds in the sky turned blue and the temperature began decreasing significantly, moments before three horse-like spirits appear in the sky and began circling. "Oh boy..." Spike gulped. Ponyville In addition to the lightning-filled thunderstorm that has nearly consumed the entire land, the rest of Equestria was now also under the siege by snow and freezing temperatures brought by the Windegos, ancient spirit creatures that spread cold and snow due to mistrust between ponies. The villains' plan to break the ponies' friendship was the cause for the return of the these creatures. "The Windigos!" A random Earth pony mare exclaimed. "That's just a Hearth's Warming Eve story." Winter Lotus scoffed. "Creatures made of wind that spread cold and misery across the land to punish ponies?! Seems pretty real to me!" She exclaimed again. "Let the Pegasi deal with this! There's nothing we can do except hide!" The Earth ponies quickly began scattering in fear and find places to hide from the cold... all but Sandbar, who looked around himself with a determined look on his face. Cloudsdale In the cloud-made city, things weren't looking any better either, as Pegasi made a futile attempt to try to control the clouds and raging winds with no hope of success. "That's enchanted wind! We can't control it!" A Pegasi mare by the name of Cotton Sky shouted. "And we can't rely on those snooty unicorns for any help! Build up the cloudbank! We'll try to block it!" "What about everypony down below?" A teenage Pegasi stallion named Hyper Sonic asked. "They're on their own." Cotton Sky responded. "We all are." After she flew off, Hyper began contemplating. Celestia's School of Magic Looking at the Windegos through his telescope, Chancellor Neighsay nodded to a unicorn stallion behind him. "Fortify the shields around the School of Magic! We need to protect ourselves! It's all we can do." The unicorn ordered. As the other unicorns began scattering, a lone unicorn filly looked unsure about this. Crystal Empire "We have to do something!" Rainbow Dash yelled, looking at the three Windegos with concern. "I've already done enough." Twilight said solemnly before walking away and resting her head on a nearby table. Having had enough of this, Applejack walked over to her friend. "You want the truth, Twilight? Bad things happen. No matter what you do, there's never gonna be a time when everything's perfect. But that don't mean you quit tryin'!" She exclaimed. "What if I make things worse?!" Twilight shot back. "Ever since we and Godzilla defeated Orga together, I've been gaining confidence. Then I find out it's all a lie. Equestria's been falling apart around us, and I didn't even notice until it was too late! What kind of Princess does that make me? I'm scared." She quietly muttered as tears started pouring from her eyes. "And worst of all, I failed Godzilla! He did everything to help and save us, and I did nothing for him..." With sympathetic look, Fluttershy walked up to Twilight and gently lifted her chin "I probably know more about being scared than anypony. But thanks to all of you, I've learned I'm always less scared when I'm with my friends." She said with a soft smile. "If we're facing impossible odds, we're facing them together!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed with an equally-bright smile. "It's what we always do, darling." Rarity added. "But we're on our own, and we have no idea what to do!" Twilight pointed out. Pinkie Pie suddenly slides beside Twilight with a cheerful smile "That's true pretty much every time something terrible is about to happen." "We don't have the Elements of Harmony anymore. How can you all be so calm about this?" Twilight Sparkle, being the type who listens more to her brain than her heart, asked in surprise and confusion. "Because," Spike flew close to her. "Even if you don't believe you can do this, we do. We believe in you. In us." He said, pointing at her friends who were all smiling at her with confidence and faith. "Also, if Godzilla was in your place right now, he wouldn't be laying around and thinking about how he thinks he failed, he would be out there fighting to his last breath to save us!" "The truth is, all our lives wouldn't be the same if we hadn't met." Applejack said with a sincere tone and a gentle smile. "We're better off because of our friendship with you. So when you say you haven't made a difference, that's just not true. You've made a big difference to us. And like Spike said, Godzilla ain't gonna just give up if he failed, he's gonna keep on fightin' down to his last scale!" Seeing their complete trust in her and confidence for her to keep on fighting on, despite of the overwhelming odds, Twilight couldn't help but smile as tears of joy poured from her eyes, prompting her to take a tissue and wipe them. "Thank you. Sometimes even the Princess of Friendship needs a reminder that there's more to the Magic of Friendship than rainbow lasers." Her face then turned to a mix of self-hate and self-disappointment, self-hate for Spike pointing out the very obvious — if Godzilla was in her place, he most certainly will not be in a state of depression, he would be out there fighting for everyone with his life, regardless of the situation! This made her feel somewhat hateful of herself for giving up so easily. ''And Godzilla... is the one who helped me change; he's the one to helped me gain confidence in ruling Equestria and being a better Princess overall. And I'm definitely not gonna give up on him, either!" She said firmly before she and her friends have another group-hug, restoring her confidence even more. "Hang on, big guy, even if it's the last thing we do, my friends and I are gonna help you win this. That's a promise." The Princess of Friendship quietly whispered with determination. At that moment, Shining Armor and Cadance, holding Flurry Heart, opened the door behind them. "That sounds like the pony I used to foal-sit for. Count us in." Princess Cadance said with confidence and happiness. "No." Twilight said softly as she walked up to them. "You need to stay here and protect Flurry Heart. If we don't... If things don't work out, she's Equestria's last hope." With that, the Princess of Friendship returned to her friends. "Okay. Three of our worst villains are freed by a new villain, have taken over, are powered-up by this new villain, and have two evil monsters under their control. Everypony in Equestria is so scared and divided that the Windigos are circling. And it's up to us and Godzilla to fix it all." "Before we go, there's some more information you need to know, first." Spike said. "What is it, Spike?" Twilight asked. However, before the young dragon or any of her friends could respond or explain what they've learned, they suddenly heard the unmistakable voices of the Elias. "Twilight!" The Princess of Friendship and her friends jolted in surprise upon hearing their shouts. "Elias? Is that you?" Twilight quickly asked, her tone was a mix of surprise and relief upon finally reestablishing contact with their other-worldly friends. "Please listen! We do not have much time because Nulucus is preventing us from reaching you all! You no longer have to worry about Gorath, as Battra has stopped it from colliding with Equestria, and Godzilla has already defeated King Ghidorah. However, there is a new threat fast approaching your world! You must go now and stop it!" "Wait, what? What's approaching Equestria!" Twilight asked in surprise, unable to fully gather everything due to the Elias' (understandable) hysteria. "It is-" Before the Elias could finish, they were suddenly cut-off. "Hello? Elias?" Twilight asked again frantically, but there was no response. "Nulucus..." Rainbow Dash growled, knowing that he no-doubt had already blocked the Elias from reaching them. "Who?" The Princess of Friendship turned to look at her friends in surprise, more than eager to hear what they've learned. "What's going on?" Cadance also asked in surprise. "Nulucus is the name of that new villain that freed Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow, and empowered them." Spike began explaining. "And there's a lot more that we learned when we were in that prison." Canterlot Back at Canterlot, the increasingly-cold weather created by the Windegos was beginning to unintentionally aid Godzilla, because extreme temperatures were one of Destoroyah's major weaknesses (particularly cold temperatures). The mutant crustacean could already feel the cold taking its toll on him, with his wings and claws beginning to rapidly freeze — apparently, Nulucus and the other villains didn't think this completely through. With his dorsal spines lighting up, Godzilla fired a Heat Ray at Destoryah, striking and destroying one of his now-frozen wings (which shattered like glass due to the extreme cold), the mutant crustacean let out a high-pitched screech of pain as Godzilla's dorsal plates lightened up— and again, Godzilla fired his Atomic Breath at the mutant crustacean, this time destroying part of the evil monster's crest! The Monster King's spines glowed once more, this time with visible electricity surrounding them, before unleashing his Spiral Heat Ray and striking the critically-weakened Destoroyah squarely in the chest! The evil titan shrieked in pain as the blue spiral beam completely pierced through his partially-frozen body, causing cracks to form all over his body in the process. The cracks continued to expand as Destoroyah shrieked in agony... before he spontaneously exploded into pieces, akin to a statue being blown up! Godzilla silently looked as the frozen pieces of Destoroyah began raining like debris, prompting the Monster King to take a deep breath and sigh of relief. Ironically, if it wasn't for the Windegos making the environment increasingly colder, Godzilla would have had a much tougher and more difficult time defeating Destoroyah. Indeed, the Monster King was very lucky at the moment. But unfortunately, he's luck wouldn't last very long. Not soon after, Godzilla began sensing the presence of yet another monster approaching... this time from above. Turning his attention to the dark skies, the saurian noticed a mysterious creature emerge from the darkened clouds and slowly began descending to the ground, seemingly unaffected by the cold weather. ... "Every prisoner is safely in their cells." Tirek said, joining Nulucus, Cozy and Chrysalis who were in the now-destroyed throne room of Canterlot, looking up at the sky. "Now we can hunt down the rest of the— " The centaur was cut-off upon seeing the three ancient spirits circling in the sky like frenzied sharks. "Windigos?" "I'm not hunting anypony d-d-d-down in this weather!" Cozy Glow, having a blanked wrapped around herself, said while shivering. "Can't we magically get rid of them and w-w-w-warm things up?" "We won't need to, look up there!" Nulucus said and pointed further up in the sky, where his fellow villains also saw the unknown creature slowly descending from the dark clouds. "It appears our trump card has finally arrived." "Say Nulucus, why didn't you read Discord's mind and figure out his plan earlier? 'Would have helped us a lot." Tirek asked his ally, knowing that his mind-reading ability would have prevented their six prisoners from escaping. "Because I have to telepathically block the Elias from reaching Twilight and the others, and I can't do both things at once." Nulucus explained. "Tch. That overgrown iguana is back!" Chrysalis growled and pointed down, prompting the other villains to also notice that Godzilla was now standing and back at his full strength, and has already defeated two of their most powerful living weapons, something that both angered them but also frightened them at the same time. Though unlike his fellow villains, Nulucus didn't seem concerned about this. "It doesn't matter," He folded his arms in confidence. "Our trump card will deal with him, and we will deal with the Windegos." "But we probably should deal with Twilight and her friends before anything else." Cozy Glow said. "Thought it was too cold for you to hunt anypony down." Tirek recalled with a hint of sarcasm. "We don't need to. They're right there!" Cozy suddenly pointed in the distance where the others also spotted Twilight and her friends approaching. Twilight's friends have already explained to the Princess of Friendship everything that they've learned. They explained that Nulucus was an alien from a place called the M Space Hunter Nebula, and that he and his kind have constantly invaded Godzilla's birth-world with various space monsters, the most frequent being Gigan, and attempt to harvest Godzilla and his allies for their own use. This, naturally, caused the Princess of Friendship to develop a deep hatred for the alien and his plans. Twilight's friends also explained about the asteroid Gorath that was previously on a collision course with Equestria (something that greatly worried her), but thankfully they can ease a bit knowing that Battra had prevented at least that disaster from happening. But they knew they weren't out of the woods, yet — not by a long shot. "You think they know we're here?" Spike asked Twilight worriedly. Shortly after the young dragon asked that, a blue-colored portal opened right in front of them, followed by Nulucus, Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow coming out of said portal. They all had malicious grins and smirks on their faces as they approached the seven heroes, with Chrysalis licking her lips and Tirek punching the palm of his hand. "I'd say they have an idea." Applejack responded. Twilight noticed the bluish crystal levitating beside the four villains. "That crystal has Discord, Celestia, and Luna's magic inside. We have to somehow get it out of their reach." She said. "Ah, Princess Twilight Sparkle." Nulucus said in a calm, yet mocking tone as he and his fellow villains stood in front of the Mane Seven. "It's nice to finally meet you face-to-face." "Nulucus." Twilight growled, her eyes quickly narrowed at the sight of him. "I know you're behind all this, what you're planning to do with Godzilla and his friends. And I won't allow it!" She angrily stomped her hoof on the ground. "Oh? I see you're little friends have told you everything already." Nulucus responded with a taunting tone. "Then you must also know that resistance is futile. Especially now that our trump card has arrived." The alien said, pointing to the area where Godzilla was currently standing. Turning their attention from the villains to where Nulucus was pointing, Twilight and her friends were shocked and surprised to see yet another monster appear — slowly descending from the sky before silently landing on the ground in front of the Monster King. ... Upon touching on the ground, Godzilla (and everyone else) finally got a good look at the mysterious new kaiju that descended from the sky. This new monster was bipedal and roughly the same size as Godzilla himself (if not, a little taller), but unlike the saurian, it was very humanoid in shape, with a very human-like torso, arms and legs. Its head, however, resembled the skull of a dragon — in fact, its whole body was covered in a white bone-like exoskeleton that that gave it a somewhat skeleton-like appearance. Another peculiar thing about this titan was the fact that it also had two smaller half-skulls on its shoulders, and a long whip-like tail with a forked end. Much like King Ghidorah, this new kaiju hailed from another world... and it was called Monster X, named after the planet it originated from! Godzilla stared down Monster X with a calm look, but he could practically feel the negative energy that was oozing out of the space monster's body. Monster X's negative aura was on par with that of King Ghidorah and Destoroyah — he had nothing on his mind besides a strong desire to cause pain and destruction. Godzilla clenched his fists and took a deep breath while glaring at the skeleton-like monster, preparing himself for his next fight. In response, Monster X let out a deep growl as smoke came out of his mouth, and his hands clenched into fists, also preparing himself for this battle. ... Much like Godzilla, Twilight and her friends could also feel the same malicious aura radiating from Monster X — it felt like being pierced through the chest with a long spear. For all of their years of fighting evildoers, the Mane Seven have never seen a creature with such malicious intent. "That's a new one." Spike muttered in surprise and fear. "Meet Monster X!" Nulucus exclaimed with pride. "Our trump card!" "Trump card?" Applejack asked, staring at the humanoid titan in surprise just like her friends. "Monster X was inside the asteroid that we told you about." Tirek inquired with a smirk, shocking the heroes while Cozy Glow continued. "Gorath itself was just a vessel for X to arrive here." Cozy explains with a sly grin, completely shocking the heroes even more. To think that the asteroid they worried so much about was merely a means to transport the real threat to Equestria, not only meant that the villains had succeeded, but it also meant that Battra's sacrifice was in vain. "And now that he's arrived, you're all done for!" Chrysalis exclaimed gleefully. Pushing aside her shock and other negative feelings, Twilight gained a determined and fearless look on her face alongside her friends. "You can't beat us if we never give up!" She declared. "As long as I have my friends by my side, I'll put my faith in friendship—" "Ugh, can we get on with this please?" Cozy Glow interrupted her and groaned in annoyance, not wanting to hear any of Twilight's heroic speeches. The villainous filly quickly flew upwards and unleashed a massive blast of magical energy at the heroes! But luckily, Twilight teleported herself and her friends out of harm's way in the nick of time, resulting in Cozy's blast hitting the ground and making a crater in the process. ... At the same time Cozy fired her attack, Monster X and Godzilla started their own battle! Without hesitation, both titans began rushing towards one another before leaping high in the air! The two monsters delivered slashes to one another before landing on the ground simultaneously in an epic display of power! Shortly after recovering, Monster X jumped in the air and delivered a spinning backhanded fist that connected to the side of Godzilla's head. The Monster King reeled back a little, and more so when Monster X's forked tail slammed against his head, making the saurian roar in pain and anger! When Monster X landed, he quickly grabbed Godzilla's claws with his own hands, and bent his wrists in a painful angle while simultaneously lifting the saurian up from the ground, resulting in excruciating pain to the latter! Monster X let out a sadistic roar, clearly enjoying the sight of Godzilla in pain. But the Monster King was quick to break free from the hold and landed down to the ground! Godzilla pushed his foe away and quickly turned around to deliver a blow with his long tail, which Monster X ducked down and dodged... only to be caught off-guard when Godzilla unleashed his Atomic Breath right in his face! The radiation beam pushed the space monster back a good distance and made him fall on one knee! However, the alien titan was quick to recover thanks to his durable exoskeleton, and returned the favor by unleashing yellowish Gravitational Beams from all four of his eyes — an attack known as 'Destroyed Thunder'. The Destroyed Thunder beams raced towards Godzilla and struck him hard, enough for the saurian to roar out in pain and take a few steps back. This was new for Godzilla, Monster X's Gravitational Beams felt stronger than King Ghidorah's Gravity Beams and even Destoroyah's Micro-Oxygen Ray. A fact that greatly disturbed him. ... Twilight and her friends re-appeared behind some thick bushes after evading Cozy Glow's attack. "We need to get that crystal and get Discord and the Princesses their magic back, so they can help Godzilla defeat Monster X." Twilight said, turning to her friends. "Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, you're with me." "Sweet!" The blue pegasus exclaimed with pride. "I'll grab that crystal in ten second—!" "No." Twilight quickly cut her off. "We're the distraction." She corrected her friend before pointing at Applejack, Spike, Fluttershy and Rarity, much to their surprise. "They're gonna get the crystal." "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Chrysalis tauntingly called out while blasting a tree to smithereens, as she and the other villains were looking for their enemies. "There!" Cozy Glow pointed at the nearby bushes where Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash came out charging towards them! The four villains responded by charging at them as well, with Cozy Glow and Nulucus firing their blue and red energy beams at them, which the three ponies effortlessly dodged! Rainbow went for Cozy, easily dodging her blasts before using her superior speed spin the evil filly around dizzily, much like she did before. Tirek attempted to attack Rainbow Dash, but was stopped by Twilight who teleported in front of him with a threatening look on her face — remembering him for destroying her previous library home — to which the centaur simply smirked before cracking his neck and using his magic to levitate several large chunks of earth from the ground and throw them at his opponent! Instead of destroying them with her magic, the Princess of Friendship jumped across the hurled boulders and blasted Tirek squarely in the face with a point-blank blast, knocking the huge centaur to the ground (and even knocking one of his teeth out), but she herself was soon blasted to the ground by a blue energy blast from Nulucus as he appeared before her. Twilight quickly recovered and clenched her teeth in anger before unleashing a pink energy blast from her horn directly a Nulucus, who dodged it by leaping out of the way. As this was happening, Chrysalis was left guarding the floating crystal by herself, and it was then that Pinkie Pie, dressed in a carnival barker outfit, appeared before her. "Step right up, evil fillies and gentlevillains! Try your luck!" She exclaimed as a wheel game with the Mane Six's faces appeared between them with no explanation. Chrysalis angrily tried to blast her, but Pinkie latched onto the game wheel itself and rolled away. Chrysalis shot another blast at her, and seemingly vaporized her, only for Pinkie (still in the carnival barker outfit) to appear behind a nearby bush with no explanation. The evil changeling attempted to blast her again, but Pinkie re-appeared beneath a relatively small rock, mocking the former Queen. Getting more infuriated by the second, Chrysalis continued blasting wherever Pinkie Pie would (inexplicably) appear, missing her each and every time. "Close, but no cherrychimichanga!" Pinkie mocked before avoiding another blast from Chrysalis. She then suddenly appeared beside the changeling with a doll version of herself in her hoof "Thanks for playing!" she said cheerfully, prompting Chrysalis to vaporize the doll in Pinkie's hoof out of pure annoyance and anger, causing the pink pony to flee as Chrysalis gave chase, leaving the blue crystal unguarded. Nulucus fired a blue beam of energy from his hands at Twilight Sparkle, which the Princess of Friendship countered with a pink one from her horn! The two energy beams clashed with one another in a beam struggle — but said beam struggle was quickly decided when Twilight's pink beam immediately overwhelmed Nulucus', blasting the surprised crustacean alien away! Having temporally defeated him, Tirek approached her. "You know, I've heard that there's a fifth Princess now. Her name is Flurry Heart, right? After we destroy you, I think I'm gonna pay a visit to the Crystal Empire. I wonder how her magic will taste like." The centaur said while sadistically licking his lips. Hearing these words, Twilight gained an absolutely furious look on her face. "Don't you dare touch her!" She yelled before firing another powerful energy blast at him! ... Godzilla was grappling with Monster X and pushing him back! After some moments, the alien titan was pushed down hard to the ground by the King of Monsters, who proceeded to punch Monster X in the face repeatedly, until the humanoid kaiju blocked both of his arms with his own, prompting Godzilla to open his mouth. Seeing the blue light illuminating from inside the saurian's mouth, Monster X was quick to react by grabbing Godzilla's throat with his left hand and forcefully lifting his head upwards, just in time for the Heat Ray to escape his jaws! The blue beam of radiation shot upwards into the sky, almost blasting the three Windegos that were circling, causing the three spirits to momentarily disperse. After Godzilla ceased his attack, Monster X kicked Godzilla off of him. Quickly getting up, Monster X delivered another kick to Godzilla, this time much harder, that actually pushes the saurian against the ground a good distance away from the space kaiju. Monster X's four crimson eyes began glowing a yellowish color before he fired his Destroyed Thunder beams at Godzilla — but just before the beams could reach him, the saurian became surrounded in golden glitter-like scales that actually deflected the space monster's Gravitational Beams in different directions when they came in contact with it, much to the shock and surprise of both titans. Looking up, Monster X saw the owner of these scales, and it was none other than Mothra hovering in the sky, who begins flying straight towards him with accelerating speed like a hawk ready to catch its prey! Monster X attempted to fire his Destroyed Thunder at her, but Mothra was already one step ahead of him — the Divine Moth quickly spew sticky silk from her mandibles and hit Monster X directly in the face with it, blinding him. The humanoid monster began thrashing around blindly, desperately trying to claw the silk off of his face before he fired his Gravitational Beams from his eyes, incinerating it but only to be met with a tail strike directly to the face from Godzilla! The powerful blow sent Monster X flying and then crashing to the ground, while Godzilla turned to Mothra and gave her a soft growl, thanking her for the assistance. Growling angrily, Monster X slowly got up and glared at Godzilla, before firing his Destroyed Thunder beams at him! The saurian stumbled back and groaned in pain, followed by Monster X delivering two hard punches to the Monster King's head and a strike from his whip-like tail to the neck! Mothra already started to take action and began circling, flying in to attack the space monster from behind... unfortunately for her, however, this time Monster X was ready — quickly turning around and firing his Gravitational Beams, Mothra didn't have time to counterattack as she was struck by the full force of the Destroyed Thunder almost point-blank, blasting her out of the air and onto the ground instantly! ... Back to the battle between the ponies and their foes, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were using themselves as a distraction in order to lure the four villains away from the power-absorbing crystal, while Spike, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity would try to take it. "Do they have to be so annoying?!" Cozy Glow asked Nulucus while angrily trying to blast Rainbow Dash. The former changeling Queen also heard this and began thinking for a moment; why would their enemies present themselves and blindly attack them like that? Unless... "Not annoying!" Chrysalis suddenly said, quickly deducing their plan and pointing behind them, spotting Spike, Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack in the process of trying to steal the blue crystal. "Distracting!" Blasting at them with their magic, Applejack, Spike, Rarity and Fluttershy made a run for it and the villains began chasing after them. Chrysalis, chasing Spike and Rarity, managed to strike the young dragon with her green-colored magic, prompting Rarity to stop and create a gem-shaped shield to protect both herself and Spike. She managed to momentarily hold the attack before it shattered into pieces, and Chrysalis was ready to attack again. But just as the tyrant changeling fired another beam of magic, Spike stepped in and unleashed his fire-breath, locking himself in a struggle with Chrysalis' green beam — and fortunately for him, he was quickly joined by Rarity who fired her blue magic beam. Working together, Spike's fire-breath and Rarity's blue beam pushed back and overwhelmed Chrysalis' beam, if for a moment. But the tyrant Queen fired another blast, this time much more powerful, and sent Spike and Rarity flying. Tirek and Nulucus were chasing after Applejack while firing orange and blue energy beams at her. The farm pony managed to get her lasso around the floating crystal and attempted to take it, but Tirek caught up and snapped Applejack's lasso before Nulucus blasted her away. Fluttershy took the opportunity to quickly race in and grab the crystal, but Cozy Glow easily caught up to her. "Now, now, professor. We all know you're not the fast one." Cozy taunted before blasting Fluttershy away with her magic, though Rainbow Dash managed to catch her friend before she could hit the ground. "Enough!" Nulucus yelled angrily as his fellow villains gathered in front of the Mane Six, before Chrysalis levitated Spike in front of them, holding him telekinetically by his wings and threatening to rip them off. "Or the dragon's wings get plucked!" The six ponies gasped in horror at the sight of Chrysalis sadistically pulling the young dragon's wings. "Please! Don't hurt him!" Twilight pleaded, unable to stand the site of Spike — her adopted little brother — suffering in pain like that, while her friends (particularly Applejack and Rainbow Dash) looked in anger & disgust at the villains' dirty fighting tactics and willingness to do something this horrible. "Don't worry about me!" Spike yelled in pain. "Just save—AHHHH!" The pain of Chrysalis forcefully pulling his wings cut him off. Knowing full well that they will tear off Spike's wings if they don't comply, Twilight was forced to stand down and surrender, followed by her friends. With that, Chrysalis tossed Spike over to them, but Twilight gently caught him with her magic and hugged him closely, still traumatized off seeing him in pain like that. "How ironic." Nulucus mocked. "It seems that the Magic of Friendship is also your biggest weakness." ... Having defeated and badly wounded Mothra, Monster X turned to Godzilla to finish their battle once and for all... and Godzilla couldn't agree more. The saurian's dorsal spines began glowing a blue color and joined by blue-colored electricity that surrounded them, Monster X's four eyes widened in shock... right before the Monster King unleashed his Spiral Heat Ray and struck Monster X directly in the chest! The extremely powerful beam pushed the space monster over 900 feet away, and after it ceased Monster X fell on both knees, severely crippled from the attack and his durable exoskeleton at its limits. Godzilla huffed, while he really wanted to, he didn't have time to finish off his foe due to his friends being in danger. But just as the Monster King was ready to go and blast the four villains for hurting his friends, he suddenly stopped when he heard Monster X making an unusual noise. Turning back, Godzilla noticed Monster X shaking while something begins growing from his back — and much to his surprise, two dragon-like wings suddenly bursted from his back. Godzilla's eyes widen, he realized that Monster X was undergoing a transformation! Monster X's white exoskeleton disappeared and his skin took on a bright golden color, while the half-skull shoulders separated from the main head, which it itself stared transforming. Much like the rest of the body, the main head developed a golden-yellow color and started becoming more dragon-like, losing its skeletal appearance in the process. The two half-skulls also started transforming, developing into fully-functional heads and becoming more dragon-like in the process, much like the main head. Smooth golden skin began overlapping and replacing the grey-black one of the entire body, while the human-like arms and legs started becoming less humanoid and more dragon-like. The single forked tail splitted into two separate ones, and the middle head's neck started to grow long and elongated, while the head itself sprouted horns and became exactly like that of a dragon, followed by the two side heads which also gained elongated necks and became completely dragon-like. The once humanoid kaiju now resembled a dragon, but with three heads and two tails! Monster X had just transformed into Keizer Ghidorah! Godzilla immediately noticed the uncanny resemblance to his now-destroyed-nemesis, King Ghidorah. But while it's true that this new kaiju shared the nearly-same appearance to his counterpart, he also had several noticeable difference to distinguish him. For starters, Keizer Ghidorah was quadrupedal, having four muscular legs for walking, whereas King Ghidorah only had two. The next difference was in the body, Keizer Ghidorah had smaller wings than King Ghidorah, and lacked defined scales, instead having smooth gold skin with teal streaks and spikes erupting from multiple spots on his body. Another difference was in the heads themselves: Unlike his counterpart, Keizer Ghidorah's middle neck was noticeably longer than the necks of his side heads, and it was also positioned in front of his two side necks whereas King Ghidorah's middle neck was positioned behind the other necks. And the final difference between the two space dragons was the fact that Keizer Ghidorah's three heads had a different arrangement of horns and spikes while King Ghidorah's heads all looked alike. In terms of size, Keizer Ghidorah was roughly the same size as King Ghidorah, if a little shorter, but still far larger than Godzilla himself. The three-headed demon beast let out a creepy, high-pitched shriek, welcoming Godzilla to attack first. Godzilla roared fearlessly at his transformed foe — transformed or not, the Monster King will never back down from a fight! And while he could rush in to save his friends, Keizer Ghidorah would surely interfere, which meant that the saurian would need to temporarily take him down, to provide the necessary time to save his friends. Charging up his body, Godzilla fired his Spiral Heat Ray in hopes of at least immobilizing Keizer Ghidorah for a temporary amount of time so he can save Twilight and her friends! However, just as the blue beam with a purplish spiral was about to strike the space dragon, the three heads of Keizer Ghidorah all fired their Antigravity Beams from their mouths — a stronger variant of Monster X's Destroyed Thunder, and they even had a similar name, 'Destroyed Keizer'. The saurian's Spiral Heat Ray clashed with the space dragon's Destroyed Keizer in an epic display of power and light! But after a few struggles of back-and-forth, Keizer Ghidorah's Antigravity Beams gradually began overwhelming Godzilla's Spiral Heat Ray before pushing it back and blasting the surprised Godzilla directly in the face, knocking the Monster King backwards and sending him tumbling to the ground! Keizer Ghidorah just blocked and overwhelmed the same powerful beam that severely crippled King Ghidorah in one hit and forced him to retreat, and did so with seemingly little effort! But Godzilla didn't have time to comprehend this, Keizer Ghidorah fired his Antigravity Beams once more, striking the saurian and ensnaring him in a gravitational field. Living up to their name of Anti-gravity beams, they sent the saurian skidding across the ground several time in a telekinetic fashion before stopping. Keizer Ghidorah's three heads then rise upwards and fired their Destroyed Keizer beams into the sky... where they arced down and latched once again onto Godzilla! The mighty titan roared in surprise as he started levitating into the air, helplessly surrounded and trapped by golden gravitational energy. Keizer Ghidorah levitated Godzilla up high before releasing his gravitational hold, causing the saurian to fall down and pile-drive into the ground! The three-headed demon beast once again utilized his gravity-controlling energy attack, grabbing Godzilla with his Destroyed Keizer beams and proceeding to roll him roughly through the ground and dirt before releasing him from the energy hold. Ruthlessly and sadistically, the three-headed dragon continued his assault, opening fire on the now-seriously-crippled Godzilla with his golden Antigravity Beams and levitating him off the ground, like a cat mercilessly toying with a mouse. Once high enough, Keizer Ghidorah released his hold on him, and the saurian slammed back to the ground like a rag doll... in front of Keizer Ghidorah's feet. The three-headed space dragon let out a high-pitched roar from all three heads, before rearing up on his hind legs and stomping down on the weakened Godzilla with his front two legs, crushing the saurian beneath his superior weight! ... The Mane Seven watched in horror as Godzilla was getting mercilessly pummeled by Keizer Ghidorah. This wasn't a fair fight anymore, it was a one-sided torture in Keizer Ghidorah's favor! None of them ever thought they would see the day where their powerful friend, Godzilla, was outmatched so badly by an single enemy with such tremendous power! They knew he felt just as powerless and helpless as they were right now, both at the mercy of their respective enemies. "Seems Keizer Ghidorah is just about done over there." Nulucus mused, while his fellow villains simply enjoyed the sight of the big lizard being tortured. "Keizer Ghidorah is the same species as King Ghidorah, except he is far more powerful, as you can already tell." "Since he's about to finish Godzilla, I think it's time for us to do the same with our enemies, wouldn't you say?" Tirek asked, gaining sadistic smirks from Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and Nulucus (somewhat barring the latter since he had insect-like mandibles in the place of a mouth). "Indeed..." Chrysalis couldn't agree more. The four villains turned to the Main Seven, and with malicious smiles prepared their most powerful energy attacks to end their respective enemies once and for all! "No matter what, we face it together!" Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty, said firmly as she and her friends gathered and huddled together on the spot for their fate. If this was truly going to be their end, no matter how they die, they die together! "Godzilla... I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." A regretful and tearful Twilight Sparkle quietly said in her mind, even though she will die with her friends, she will also die without keeping her promise to Godzilla. With that, the four villains fired their separate energy attacks that quickly merged into one extremely powerful orange-colored energy beam ready to end the heroes on the spot! The seven friends closed their eyes together, wait for the deaths, and... Nothing happened. "What happened? Can I open my eyes?" Spike asked cautiously, not sensing or feeling any difference. "Ya sure can!" Applejack answered, but with a happy and joy-filled tone. Opening their eyes, the Mane Seven found themselves surrounded by a white-colored force-field that was shielding them even from the combined energy attack of the four villains. "Way to go, Twilight!" The farm pony exclaimed. "What the?!" Nulucus exclaimed in shock and disbelief, unable to understand what was happening. The same went for the other three villains, as they too ceased their attacks and looked dumbfounded. "It's not me!" Twilight said. Much to the astonishment and surprise of both the heroes and villains, they see something coming from over a nearby tall hill. And that 'something' was the cavalry of the united Equestria, with no shortage of allies: Not just ponies, but also dragons, hippogriffs, changelings, kirins, griffons, and yaks have all arrived to assist and help the Mane Seven to end this battle once and for all! Even some of the reformed villains like Tempest Shadow, Trixie and Neighsay have arrived to help! Literally every creature and race from every land in Equestria had arrived! ... Even Keizer Ghidorah, who was stomping on Godzilla, stopped his assault and his three heads turned to look at the arrival of the cavalry, much to their surprise. But with the demon beast distracted, a pair of purple-colored energy blasts suddenly shot from the sky, striking the three heads and causing them to shriek in pain and surprise! Turning to look to whoever was bold enough to attack him, Keizer Ghidorah was met with the unexpected re-arrival... of Battra! Despite taking the asteroid Gorath head-on to save Equestria, creating a powerful explosion in the process, Battra had somehow survived the powerful collision with the 200-meter asteroid! However, he was severely crippled and injured from said impact, but still had the strength necessary to fly back to Equestria and help his allies. Flying downwards with impressive speed, Battra continued firing Prism Beams from his eyes at Keizer Ghidorah, forcing the three-headed monster to stagger back a little and screech in pain and surprise! ... The various creatures started charging down from the hill while pegasus ponies, hippogriffs, dragons and griffons flew in from above! The flyers started by flying low to the ground, creating smoke around the four villains to obscure their vision, while changelings changed into versions of the Mane Seven as decoys. "Don't let them escape!" Nulucus yelled. "Which one?!" Cozy yelled back while standing atop Tirek's head, unable to find the real Mane Seven. The ground beneath the villains suddenly began shaking, caused by stomping yaks with the intent to lose their balance. Tirek tried swatting at anything that flew near him regardless if it was the real-deal or not, Nulucus was frantically blasting anything that flew near him but missed every time, and Cozy was having the worst time as she was easily blown around by the fast flyers. With the villains distracted, the bubble-like shield containing the Mane Seven levitated off the ground and landed atop the hill where the cavalry was standing. All the unicorns were using their combined magic to create an even bigger shield to protect them all, albeit with some effort. "The changelings won't fool them forever." Thorax said to Twilight with a concerned tone. "And I don't know how long the unicorns' shield will hold." The Princess of Friendship looked through the shield at the raging battle below in confusion. "I don't understand. How are you all here?" Shecouldn't help but ask. Considering that the four villains had spread disharmony and mistrust among the three pony tribes, it would be a miracle for them to have somehow gotten over it, let alone have all the other non-pony races join them. "That's kinda our fault." Gallous said, turning her attention to the Young Six standing in the corner, who all had smug grins and smirks on their faces. "You know those long lectures about friendship you gave at school?" Smolder asked. Flashback Ponyville In Ponyville, the citizens were running and screaming in fear, knowing there was no hope for them. But Sandbar did not give in to the despair, standing atop a wooden crate, he began giving his speech that Twilight taught him. "We all know the story of Hearth's Warming Eve! We can defeat the Windigos together!" He said out loud, stopping some of the ponies in their tacks. "You really think if we all sing a couple songs, everything will be fine?" A female Earth pony by the name of Berryshine asked in disbelief. "It's not just singing that saved the founders of Equestria! It's what it represented!" Sandbar said back with a smile. ... Celestia's School of Magic In Celestia's School of Magic, a unicorn filly by the name of Dazzle also began reminding the unicorns of how the three pony tribes previously were at odds with one another, before coming together. "Earth ponies, unicorns, and Pegasi becoming friends! We learned at Twilight's school that friendship is the most powerful magic there is!" ... Cloudsdale In Cloudsdale, Hyper Sonic gave an inspiring speech to the other Pegasi ponies. "Focusing on our differences keeps us divided! Villains and creatures like the Windigos use that division against us!" ... Yakyakistan In Yakyakistan, Yona was also giving a speech to her fellow yaks about the friendship that they made with the ponies, and how it made them stronger. "Yaks strong. Ponies strong. But yaks and ponies stronger together! Yaks must be loyal to pony friends!" ... Dragon Lands Even in the Dragon Lands, Smolder was determined to unite dragons with ponies for the first time. "I know helping other creatures by being kind and generous sounds lame. But I've seen how powerful it can be! Plus, Godzilla and his friends also helped us a lot, and we owe them for that!" ... Griffon Stone "Playing together! Singing together! Even laughing together! That's what real heroes look like!" Gallus said to his fellow griffons in Griffon Stone. ... Seaquestria "Were we really happy by ourselves at the bottom of the ocean? Be honest! It's the ponies that showed us a better way!" Silverstream, transformed into a seapony, said to her people, reminding them that it was the ponies who defeated the Storm King and allowed them to return to Mount Aris as hippogriffs. ... Changeling Hive "They've taught us how powerful love and the Magic of Friendship truly is! We can't let them stand alone! We're their friends! They need us!" Ocellus said to her reformed changelings, knowing that it was the ponies who helped them change and have easier lives. "And Godzilla and Mothra also need us!" End of Flashback "How 'bout that? It's just like you said the day we opened that school." Applejack said with a smile. "The more creatures who know about friendship, the safer we'll be." Spike said happily. "We told you you had it all figured out!" Pinkie Pie smiled cheerfully. The Princess of Friendship didn't know what to say, but smile with joy and pride, knowing now that her School of Friendship was easily her most successful idea. Unfortunately, said happiness was interrupted by several changelings and Pegasi ponies hitting the surface of the shield like bugs on a windshield. Furthermore, the unicorns lost their strength and the shield itself soon collapsed, just as the four villains were finished defeating their allies. Tirek smashed his fist against the ground, creating a powerful shockwave that sent all the creatures around them flying. Grinning sadistically, the four villains began racing towards the heroes but were stopped by a stray blast from Twilight to the ground, halting them in their tracks. "Enough!" Twilight yelled angrily as she hovered above the four villains while her body began glowing with a purple color. "Because of you, I almost lost my way! But everycreature here and Godzilla has reminded me of the true power of friendship! There will always be darkness in the world, but there will also always be those who find the light! The Pillars knew this!" As she was saying this, all the prisoners from the dungeons, including Celestia, Luna, Starlight, Discord and the Pillars were teleported out of their cells and in the middle of the united creatures (with Rockhoof returning to his muscular self). "That's why they created the Elements of Harmony! The Elements showed me and my friends how strong our friendship could be! Together we worked to bring harmony to Equestria! But there will always be more to do! Which is why we teach others about the Magic of Friendship! Others who will continue our mission after we are gone! Now I truly understand! The Elements were just symbols! The real magic has always been right here! And the more who understand how powerful friendship is, the stronger we will all be! Together!" Twilight's friends, the Pillars and the Young Six all began levitating high in the air alongside Twilight herself, representing the past, present, and future. Not soon after, a Rainbow of Light shot forth from the Pillars, as did one from the Young Six, and another from Twilight's friends — together, the three Rainbows of Light conversed on the Princess of Friendship, empowering her even more! With her tremendous power, Twilight unleashed a powerful Rainbow of Light Spiral Beam into the darkened skies, dispelling the Windegos into the ether and dispersing all the darkened clouds in an instant, allowing Equestria to be touched by the Sun's beautiful rays once more! "This is bad, isn't it?" A nervous Cozy Glow asked her fellow villains, who were all just as nervous and terrified as herself, knowing they don't stand any kind of chance now. "I hate these ponies." Was all Nulucus could mutter. Immediately after dispersing the stormy weather, the Rainbow of Light beam turned on the four villains and arched downwards with incredible speed! The Rainbow Beam slammed to the ground and enveloped the four villains, quickly reducing them to their former, powerless-selves, and it also completely shattered Nulucus' crystal to pieces, allowing all the stolen magic inside to return to their rightful owners. After the Rainbow Beam disappeared, the four villains got up, looked at their powerless selves before turning to their enemies as they all gently landed down before them. Tirek and Cozy backed away in fear while Chrysalis and Nulucus angrily glared at them, refusing to admit defeat. "You think friendship will save you?!" A completely-enraged Chrysalis cried out. "We will always return!" "And even though you defeated us..." Nulucus pointed back to where the titans were still fighting. "Keizer Ghidorah will finish what we started!" ... Battra was hovering in front of the space dragon, repeatedly blasting him with his Prism Beams. And while he did do some damage, Keizer Ghidorah was quick to retaliate when his two side heads both fired their Antigravity Beams at Battra, blasting him clear of the sky! With the nuisance out of the way, Keizer Ghidorah turned his attention back at the extremely-weakened Godzilla, who now slowly stood up on his legs, but he was barely standing. Seeing an opportunity, the three-headed dragon charged at Godzilla before his three heads lashed out and bit the saurian in different areas; the middle head chomped onto Godzilla's neck, while the right head bit his thigh, and the left head bit onto his right arm. Godzilla was held high in the air by the three heads, his shrieks of pain filled the land as he was helpless held by the three-headed dragon. Weakly, Godzilla grabbed the middle neck with his left hand in an attempt to break free, but due to the pummeling he received earlier he didn't have the strength to even scratch the evil titan. The situation for him became even more dire when Keizer Ghidorah's heads began siphoning Godzilla's life energy directly from his body like leeches sucking blood. The three necks started glowing with a cyan color, visibly showing Godzilla's energy slowly being drained. The Monster King's eyes began closing as his consciousness started fading, while the arm that was holding the middle neck went limp. In his mind, if this is how he will perish, Godzilla only wished he could see Twilight and all of his friends before he died. ... "Godzilla! NO!"Twilight Sparkle cries out in horror, as she, her friends, and all of the united creatures of Equestria watched in horror at the sight of the Monster King's life being literally drained from his body! Rarity and Fluttershy covered their mouths with her hooves in horror while Rainbow Dash and Applejack clenched their teeth in anger at the evil monster. "Godzilla's losing! Somehow we have to give him more power!" Spike yelled, watching the ghastly sight in horror and concern much like the rest of his friends. *SKRREEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOONGK!* Out of nowhere, a familiar cry was suddenly heard, prompting everyone to turn their attention farther East... where they (much to their shock) spotted Godzilla Junior approaching, and he wasn't alone. Much to everyone's astonishment, Godzilla Junior was joined by all of the Earth titans, including Anguirus, Zilla, Gorosaurus, Baragon, Maguma, Kamoebas, Titanosaurus, King Caesar, and even Kumonga, Kamacuras, Ebirah and Manda have joined them! Much like how all the creatures of Equestria united and assembled to defeat the four villains earlier, shortly after Mothra left to chase after Destoroyah, Godzilla Junior had been going around calling all other Earth-born titans that were in Equestria to help his father and friends, and they complied — even the ones that were sometimes in odds with his father, like Manda and Ebirah, responded and joined him. "Okay, now that's unexpected." Smolder muttered. The titans gathered near the tall hill where the united creatures of Equestria were standing, and much to everyone's greater surprise, their bodies started glowing with a white light similar to the ones Twilight and her friends glowed right before they defeated their villains. The realization hit Twilight like a strong brick hitting her in the head. "No way!" She exclaimed as a bright smile formed on her face, combined with with a bit of pride and joy. "All the creatures from Godzilla's world are utilizing the Magic of Friendship just like we did!" It seemed too good to be true, but, well... it was true! After spending so much time in Equestria and among ponies, the Earth kaiju have learned more than a little about friendship and how powerful it truly was. And like Spike said before, the more others understand how powerful friendship was, the stronger they will become! Turning back to Godzilla, Twilight looked with a determined look on her face "I made you a promise, Godzilla. And I'm not going back on my word!" She said before turning to her friends. "Let's help Godzilla!" "Right!" They responded in unison, and with that, the Mane Seven, The Pillars and the Young Six all started glowing and channeling their inner magic once more, this time combined with the already-glowing titans. And just like before, the Pillars, the Young Six and the Mane Six released their Rainbows of Light and conversed them on Twilight Sparkle, who levitated in the air while her eyes began glowing with a bright white light. With a swing from her head, the Princess of Friendship fired an extremely powerful Rainbow Beam from her horn — more powerful than the one that was used to defeat and de-power the four villains due to also being empowered by all the titans — at the Godzilla and Keizer Ghidorah! ... At first it seemed like the Rainbow Beam was going to strike Keizer Ghidorah like it did with the four villains, but surprisingly the Rainbow of Light instead circled around and struck Godzilla directly in his dorsal plates. The Mane Seven, the Young Six, The Pillars and all the Earth kaiju were using the Magic of Friendship within them to rejuvenate and empower the Monster King more than ever before! Godzilla's consciousness slowly began coming back to him, coupled with the feeling of his strength not only returning but also increasing significantly, far more so than when Rodan empowered him with his life energy! Opening his eyes, Godzilla realized this feeling... the same feeling he felt from Twilight and her friends when he first me them — and he instantly deduced that this is their doing! Once the process was complete, Godzilla's dorsal spines briefly glowed with the same bright white light as Twilight's eyes. Now fully re-energized and even more powerful, the saurian wastes no time grabbing the middle and left heads, and unleashing a Nuclear Pulse from his body that instantly released him from the hold of the three heads! ... "Oh yeah! Time for Godzilla to kick some giant monster butt!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed excitedly. The others also watched, knowing that being empowered with the Magic of Friendship, the King of Monsters most certainly held the advantage now! ... As soon as Godzilla landed on the ground, he immediately started fighting back! Biting onto the right head with his powerful jaws while keeping the left head at bay with his claws, Godzilla proceeded to shake the right head violently with his jaws — but the middle head was still free and quickly retaliated by firing an Antigravity Beam from its mouth, striking Godzilla and forcing him to release the right head from his maw! The middle head charged up, ready to strike again... but Godzilla beat him to it by quickly firing his Atomic Breath from his mouth at point-blank range! Upon impact, the blue beam completely destroyed and blew up the middle head to pieces, shocking the other two heads! A little-known fact about Keizer Ghidorah was that he was actually less durable than his Monster X-form — the transformation into Keizer Ghidorah was more or less a trade-off, exchanging Monster X's agility and durability for Keizer Ghidorah's superior strength and offensive firepower, but since Godzilla (now empowered with the Magic of Friendship) was far above Keizer Ghidorah in terms of power, the demon beast was at a severe disadvantage. With the middle head (the leader) missing, the remaining two heads struggled to fight back against the empowered King of Monsters! The left head hastily attempted to blast Godzilla with its Antigravity Beam, but the saurian quickly grabbed it by the throat and forcefully turned its aim at the right head. The Antigravity Beam shot out of its mouth and struck the right head, destroying it in an instant! The last remaining head shrieked in horror, knowing that there was truly no hope for it now. Grabbing the final head and neck, Godzilla tossed the much larger and heavier monster over his shoulder in a judo-like move with little effort! The space dragon flew through the air from the toss before crashing on the ground, but Godzilla wasn't finished with it yet! The saurian approached the fallen monster, grabbed his foe's two tails, and lifted the much heavier monster off the ground before forcefully slamming him against it, much like he did with King Ghidorah before. Finally, using all of his might, the Monster King swung and flung his enemy several thousand feet in the air! Just as Keizer Ghidorah was about to fall back down, Godzilla's dorsal spines lightened up with a bright crimson-red color... followed by the saurian opening his mouth and unleashing his Burning G Spark Heat Ray — the strongest variation of Heat Ray that he developed thanks to the Magic of Friendship coursing through his body! When the crimson-red beam connected with Keizer Ghidorah in the sky, it pushed him even further up in the atmosphere, eventually reaching the stratosphere... before the Burning G Spark Heat Ray finally pierced through Ghidorah's body, resulting in the space monster exploding in a ball of flames that was visible all the way from the ground, putting a definitive end to the villain's schemes for good! ... With the final threat defeated, all the creatures in Equestria started cheering and applauding Godzilla! Twilight and her friends smiled warmly as the King of Monsters turned his attention to them with a happy look on his face, very thankful for their assistance as well as the assistance from all of his fellow kaiju. If it wasn't for the Magic of Friendship, he would not have lived through this, and for that he will always embrace this feeling — the feeling of love and kindness. "Way to go, big guy." Twilight said with a warm smile, relieved and happy that she was able to keep her promise. But as this was going on, Nulucus, Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow quietly attempted to sneak away from the distracted crowd... only to be stopped by Celestia and Luna as they appeared right in front of them, with very angry looks on their faces. "There isn't a punishment worthy of all you've done!" Celestia growled at the four villains alongside her sister. "Hmph. Spare me your petty threats, Celestia." Nulucus said without any fear. However, Discord suddenly appeared beside the two sisters, and whispered something in the ears of both Celestia and Luna, which somewhat softened their looks. "That does seem fitting." Luna acknowledged Discord's unknown suggestion. "Can I help? Please?" Discord asked eagerly with puppy-dog eyes, to which the two sisters agreed. Together, Celestia, Luna and Discord fired their respective energy beams at the four villains. Upon being hit by the combined spell, the villains started turning into stone, much to their horror. Cozy Glow looked completely distressed before fully-petrifying, Tirek cowered in fear, Chrysalis made one last effort to attack before she was completely turned to stone, and Nulucus simply stood there without resisting, glaring hatefully at the heroes before he too was petrified. "Together forever." Discord said, casually approaching the now-petrified Legion of Doom. Knowing that the four villains despised one another just as much, he made the right choice by turning them all into stone together. "I can't think of anything that they would want less." He said, flicking at the petrified Nulucus' face. "When I sent you to Ponyville, I had high hopes."Celestia approached Twilight and gently folded her wing over her shoulder. "When you became Princess of Friendship, I knew I made the right choice. But nothing could prepare me for how proud I am right now. Equestria is definitely in the right hooves. You are ready." With that, she, Luna and even Discord bowed their heads to Twilight, making the young Princess blush and smile. But something else soon caught Twilight's and everyone else's attention. ... Much to their surprise, Godzilla Junior, Anguirus, and all the other kaiju present suddenly began approaching Godzilla, including Rodan (who has just recovered), Mothra and Battra — all joined in and started advancing towards the saurian. There was a moment of uncertainty in the air, as Twilight and everyone else eagerly watched at what was about to happen. The silence was broken when Anguirus slowly approached Godzilla... and bowed his head to him. As soon as the ankylosaur did that, all the other titans did the same; Baragon, Zilla, Gorosaurus, Kamoebas, Kumonga, Maguma, Ebirah, Varan, Kamacuras, Rodan, Manda, King Caesar, Mothra, Battra, Titanosaurus, all of them started bowing their heads in respect to the mighty creature! Taken back by this, Godzilla looked at the other kaiju in astonishment, unable to take in what was happening right now due to never having experienced being in this kind of position before. He turned to look at the Princess of Friendship in the distance, who simply smiled and nodded for him to accept their submission. Turning back to the bowing titans, Godzilla lifted his head and let out a loud roar of victory as Twilight Sparkle, her friends, and all of Equestria watched and smiled in awe and respect at Godzilla's rightfully-earned title of... King of the Monsters! *SKREEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNGK!* > All Good Things Must Come to an End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rage, hate... and loneliness. These were the feelings that Godzilla had known from birth — especially the last one. He was born in a world where he was essentially the last of his kind, the only other surviving member of his race being killed by the Oxygen Destroyer 30 years ago. The saurian swam in the oceans of his world for many years, and once he came to the surface, he was immediately greeted with hostility by the very creatures that would become the bane of his mutated existence. He had no ill-will towards them at first, but he quickly adopted as strong animosity for them — the beings that turned him into the abomination he was now. For years, he had lived a harsh life, full of rage, anger, hate, and above all... loneliness. But things would only turn worse when he discovered that other giant creatures of different species who have suffered similar fates to his own, also roamed this planet. Because of the harsh treatment he faced from humanity, Godzilla initially saw these fellow monsters as hostile competitors... and he was partly correct. But while he did battle them at first, the Monster King soon discovered that these creatures were not so different from himself... and that was when a strong bond was formed between them. Godzilla's hostility with humanity had subsided thanks to the bond he formed with these fellow kaiju, but it wasn't a silver bullet. Humanity still viewed them as monsters that needed to be exterminated, and even worse, their home world had become a prime target for extraterrestrial monsters who would visit with sinister intent. But time and time again, Godzilla foiled their plans and claimed this planet as his territory. The bond with his fellow Earth kaiju and his adopted son was what kept the Monster King from succumbing to the darkness of his otherwise lonely heart, and becoming like the enemies he despised and fought against. But even with that, Godzilla and his allies would continue to become subjects of hate and fear in their world, always having someone searching for a way to destroy them once and for all, rather than attempt to communicate with them. So was that it? Was that the meaning to their existence? To be symbols of fear & hate? To be freaks of Nature? To be monsters? No. There will always be light even in the darkest places — and Godzilla and his allies eventually learned that. In their latest attempt to exterminate the kaiju, humanity had inadvertently transported them to a world so similar, but yet so different from their own: Equestria. A world that would be seen as fantasy by the inhabitants of Earth, it was filled with magical and unique creatures — and the dominant beings in Equestria were ponies, which came into four main types; unicorns, Earth ponies, Pegasi and the rarest of all, Alicorns. At first, the ponies reacted to Godzilla and his fellow titans with the same fear as humanity did, but never used violence against them. However, after witnessing Godzilla and his allies risk their lives to save them and their world from the more malevolent monsters, the ponies quickly warmed-up to them. They began to trust and treat them with kindness, compassion, and loyalty. This experience would change the kaiju's lives and their view of the world forever. Only a few days had passed since the defeat of the Legion of Doom (Nulucus, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow) and their kaiju allies (Destoroyah, King Ghidorah, and Monster X/Keizer Ghidorah), and now that the threat has been dealt with, Twilight Sparkle would resume her coronation and become the new Ruler of Equestria! ... Castle of Friendship The soon-to-be Ruler of Equestria and her companion, Spike, were currently inside the Castle of Friendship, packing everything up and getting ready to move to Canterlot. However, Twilight herself seemed a little hysterical and uneasy as she raced from room to room without catching her breath — something Spike picked up on while fulfilling the checklist. It felt almost as if she was deliberately trying to delay the coronation. "Twilight? Uh, I'm pretty sure that's everything." The little dragon gently inquired. "I'm just doing a final check, Spike." Twilight replied, running past him. "But we did a final check. Of every room. Twice." He pointed out. "Ah-ha!" Twilight exclaimed with a prideful smile before showing Spike one of his comic books that he apparently forgot. "See? An issue of Power Ponies. Now, aren't you glad we triple-checked?" She asked confidently. "Thanks, but I already read this one. I don't need to take it to Canterlot." Spike said. "No-no-no! You love Power Ponies. We're taking it." She exclaimed before snatching the comic and putting it in one of the boxes. "Really, Twilight, we don't have to bring the comic." Spike insisted, flying to Twilight's side. "I'm not even sure how much longer I'll collect them. A lot is changing, and I am getting older." This comment caused Twilight Sparkle's uneasiness to get even worse. "Just because things change doesn't mean you leave everything you love behind!" She exclaimed with a hint of nervousness and fear in her tone before she collapsed on an empty box and sighed. "You're not still worried about ruling Equestria, are you?" Spike asked worriedly, gently placing his claw on her head to comfort her. "No. I know it took some time, but I've never been more ready for anything in my life." The Princess of Friendship said with certainty. "Just because I'm ready to sit on the throne in Canterlot, doesn't mean I'm ready to leave Ponyville. When we and Godzilla were all fighting to save Equestria from Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow, and Destoroyah, King Ghidorah and Monster X, I was too busy to think about it. But now it's all happening at once." "What is?" Spike asked. "The coronation. Moving. Leaving our friends." She explained as tears started pouring from her eyes. "And Godzilla and his friends leaving, too." "I thought we'd all be ruling Equestria together." The little dragon recalled before his expression turned to sadness when he moved to the second subject. "And yeah... we all know Godzilla's gonna be leaving today after your coronation." "Of course we're gonna be ruling Equestria together, but it won't be the same." Twilight continued to explain. "They all have lives here. We're moving away and they're not, and I can't help but feel like we're leaving them behind. What if we all just drift apart? Like how we will with Godzilla...?" "Don't say that, Twilight!" Spike exclaimed angrily at his adopted sister, beginning to experience the same feelings that she was having. "Maybe you should talk to them. Maybe they're feeling the same way." Hearing this, the Princess of Friendship smiled brightly at the suggestion. "You're right, Spike! Thanks. Sometimes talking to a good friend is all it takes." She said, hugging the young drake. "I already know how Godzilla's feeling about this, and I bet all of my other friends are feeling exactly like he is." Both Twilight and Spike already knew how much the Monster King cared for them and Equestria, and how much he and the other Earth-born kaiju will miss them. Even though it was heartbreaking and depressing, it was also necessary, as both Twilight and Spike would have chosen to return home if they were in the Monster King's place, because they would want to keep their birth world safe, as well. The idea of one willingly abandoning their birth world in favor of a new one was wrong to them. Even if the current world was better, discarding the old one and its memories was still wrong. Godzilla and his fellow kaiju may not have had the best experiences in their home world, but there were things and places that they still treasured there, like Odo Island (Godzilla and Junior's home), Okinawa (the island that King Caesar must protect from all threats), Mu (a submerged continent that Manda once protected, and lived in), Infant Island (the birth-place and home of Mothra and the Elias), and of course, the planet itself. Twilight remembered how after not showing up to a party that her childhood friend, Moon Dancer, had thrown—and even left for Ponyville without telling her—Moon Dancer became heartbroken and withdrawn, rejecting the idea of friendship altogether. And even though Moon Dancer came to accept her apology and friendship once more, Twilight didn't want Godzilla to make this same mistake she did. ... At Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was currently stamping crates filled with apple cider and crates filled with regular apples, before stamping her checklist to make sure everything was there and ready to go, while Big Mac was moving said crates into the carriage. "So, you're not worried about how things might change with me living in Canterlot?" Twilight asked, almost in shock. "Of course not." Applejack replied casually. "Change is natural, like the seasons. That's just life on the farm." "I... I guess so." The alicorn lowered her head in depression. "Anyhoo, I really need to get all these boxes packed and sorted. There's a lot more work now that the folks beyond Equestria are comin' to the coronation, too." Applejack explained before resuming her work, much to her friend's increasing depression. ... Next, Twilight and Spike headed to Pinkie Pie's party-planning cave to ask her the same thing they asked Applejack. Her response... "Worried? Pfft! No way!" The pink Earth pony exclaimed happily. "Unless you're talking about the coronation, because then yes. Obviously the cakes are handled, but there's the whole rest of the party to stay on top of." She continued explaining while frantically moving around the cave and preparing balloons, before appearing right next to Twilight. "And honestly, I'm not convinced Gummy really took care of the fireworks." She pointed at her pet alligator, who was holding a sparkler in his mouth. "But what about after the coronation? Don't you think things are gonna be different?" Twilight asked, hoping to get the positive answer she was hoping for. "Well, since I'll be in charge of all the Canterlot galas from now on, I'll have to go there a lot more. So I guess that's different, but I don't think I mind." Pinkie casually replied, resuming her work, much like Applejack. And just like before, Twilight was left uneasy and depressed. ... Failing that too, The soon-to-be Ruler of Equestria and her dragon companion then visited Fluttershy's animal sanctuary. When they arrived, Twilight was immediately surrounded by birds and butterflies, before two swans placed a crown made of twigs and leaves on her head. "Wonderful work, everyone! We couldn't be more ready." Fluttershy applauded her animal friends. "Josephine, if you and the rest of the doves leave now, we should all arrive in Canterlot at the same time." Nodding, after the doves flew off, the yellow pegasus turned to the two swans. "Eloise and Hubert, you should go, too. I know it's a long way, but don't worry. I'll bring plenty of snacks to restore your energy before we perform." She assured them, prompting the swans to take off, as well. Afterwards, Fluttershy guided the hummingbirds and butterflies into their cages. "Everyone else gets to ride since the trip's too much for your little wings. We need everyone in tip-top shape for the coronation." Finally, the timid pegasus turned to her friend. "I'm glad we got the chance for one last rehearsal. Everyone's so excited. But I can't imagine anypony's more excited than you. Moving to Canterlot. Being crowned. I can't think of a single bad thing about any of it!" "Yeah. Me, neither..." Twilight replied with a fake smile, but inside, her heart was practically falling apart. ... It seemed like each time they visit one of their friends, it got progressively worse. Still, Twilight kept reminding herself to have faith, and be confident that at least one of her friends other than Spike and Godzilla was feeling the same way. Next, they went to visit Rainbow Dash in the Wonderbolt Academy. By the time they arrived, they watched their friend coaching the Wonderbolts in preparation for the coronation. It went well until Spitfire and Soarian crashed into each other, prompting Rainbow to quickly move in and catch them with a thick cloud. "Look, Rainbow Dash. I know this is important to you, and we all want the routine to be special, but are you sure it needs to be this complicated?" An annoyed Spitfire asked, getting off the cloud. "Of course! And I know we can pull it off!" Rainbow exclaimed confidently before turning to her friend. "Sorry, Twilight. I don't have time to talk. We've got a lot more work to do before the coronation." And once again, the Princess of Friendship was left depressed by her friends' lack of concern of her moving away, which prompted Spike to comfort her. ... Finally, the young Princess and the young dragon arrived in Rarity's home, where the fashion-designer unicorn was also busy with her own preparations for the coronation. Spike immediately turned his sights on a bucket filled with gems, and began eating. "Darling, change is an integral part of fashion." Rarity explained, measuring the royal gown she made for Twilight's ceremony. "I myself am considering opening boutiques for non-ponies. Things must evolve, or they become stale. For example..." She moved to a nearby table, and revealed a glass case filled with star spiders, who were busy making a sash out of their silk. "I was just struck with a sudden inspiration to change my design for your gown by including the webs of these star spiders. They glow for a short while after they're spun. They won't have much time to weave the sash, but the effect will be dazzling. You see, darling? Change can be fabulous if you embrace it!" After asking all of their friends, Twilight and Spike returned to the Castle of Friendship, but far more depressed than excited. Twilight in particular was almost having a silent mental breakdown, not from stress, but from the depression of having to say goodbye to her friends. The same friends that she made years ago. The same friends that helped her win against impossible odds. The friends that helped her save Equestria from countless threats. The friends that were there for her when she was lost. The friends... that she couldn't live without. And now, they were just gonna say goodbye without blinking an eye or shedding a tear? Just like that?! "Starlight is supposed to come over soon. There's a little something we wanted to give you before we leave." Spike inquired before he noticed and picked up the Power Ponies comic that was near Twilight's hooves. "You know what? I think you're right, Twilight. I should take my comics to Canterlot. We can't leave the Power Ponies behind." "I don't think the Power Ponies care, Spike. Just like all of our friends." His adopted sister softly said as she sat down with her head lowered and her ears flattened against her head. With sympathy, the little dragon gently hugged her, feeling her depression and sadness. "Godzilla still cares." Spike quietly said while hugging her, prompting a small smile to form on the Princess' face. "He does, doesn't he?" She said before hugging him back. "All right, Twilight. Are you ready? We all wanted to see you off, but there's still a lot to do." Applejack said, accompanied by their other friends who arrived in the room. "Aren't you coming on the train?" Spike asked in confusion. "I gotta go with Big Mac so we can go over our packin' list or we won't know who gets what deliveries." The farm pony explained. "And I'm gonna meet the Wonderbolts so we can go over the routine one last time." Rainbow Dash added. "I'm going with Gummy. He said he knows when the fireworks display should start, but does anypony really believe that?!" Pinkie exclaimed out loud. "And I still need to pick up food for the swans and doves who flew ahead to Canterlot." Fluttershy stated. "If I don't get them fed, they'll be too pooped to perform." "Well, I'll be living in Canterlot alone. Might as well take the train alone, too." Twilight muttered coldly as she got up and started heading for the exit. "Bye, I guess." "Oh, you won't be traveling alone, darling." Rarity quickly stopped her in her tracks. "I'll have just enough time on the train to weave the star spider sash for your gown. But we should leave now. There's no time to dawdle if you want the coronation to be perfect." She began leading her friend to the exit in a hurry, but that was when Twilight suddenly stopped and turned around to face her friends with a very upset look on her face. "That's the problem!" She exclaimed angrily. "You're all so worried about making my coronation perfect, but I'm leaving Ponyville and none of you even care!" She yelled at the top of her lungs while tears streamed from her eyes. Understandably, her friends gasped in shock and horror after she said this. Spike cringed, feeling like Twilight went a bit too far by saying this, and hoped that this harsh comment didn't hurt their friends too badly. However, what they said next surprised both of them... "Of course we care that you're movin', Twilight." Applejack softly admitted with a saddened look. "I can't believe you'd think we don't." Fluttershy quietly said with an equally-somber tone "What could possibly make you think that?" Pinkie asked, also saddened. "I tried to talk to you all about how I was feeling, but you seemed more worried about what you had to do for the coronation." The Princess of Friendship explained bitterly, still feeling frustrated. "It's true. I was there." Spike pointed out. This caused their friends to start feeling somewhat bad and guilty at themselves. "I suppose it gave us something else to focus on." Rarity admitted softly, flattening her ears against her head in guilt. "I knew you were worried about everything changin'. I guess I thought if I made it seem like everything was okay, it would be." Applejack also admitted. "I was just trying to make you feel better. That way I wouldn't feel so terrible." Fluttershy confessed with clear sadness in her voice. "Before I moved to Ponyville, I didn't really know what friendship was. You've all taught me so much. I can't believe it all might be ending." Twilight said as tears poured from her eyes, prompting her friends to move in and comfort her. "But when I imagine the future, all I can think about is that we won't be together! I'm literally moving away from you, and it's terrifying!" Soon, all of her friends began admitting that they were in fact feeling exactly the same as she was right now the whole time, but tried very hard to not acknowledge it by focusing on their preparations. "I'm scared, too." Fluttershy whimpered. "Me, too." Pinkie Pie sniffed. "Rattled to the core." Rarity said softly. "Eeyup." Applejack nodded sadly. "I wouldn't say scared." Rainbow Dash bluntly said. Everyone sharply turned to the blue pegasus with looks of disapproval on their faces after she said that. "But just because I won't say it doesn't mean I don't feel it." She finally admitted with a somber tone, prompting her friends to smile at her. "I'm going to miss you so much!" Pinkie exclaimed, sobbing and hugging onto Twilight's leg. "I just can't stop thinking about how much things are going to change!" Rarity wiped her tears with a tissue paper. "W... What if we don't see each other?" Rainbow asked, tears flooding her eyes. "What if we don't talk as much?" Fluttershy asked. "What if we don't stay friends?!" Applejack pointed out the worst of this situation. "Not to mention Godzilla and his friends are going to leave, too!" Twilight went on, tears filling her own eyes. "Right after the coronation, no less!" With the exception of Spike, all of Twilight's friends broke down in tears as they began crying with her, expressing how much they will miss each other. After all the times and adventures they had together, it was truly hard for any of them to say goodbye. Spike looked with concern as the Mane Six shed their tears and let out their suppressed emotions. None of them have ever felt so sad and so scared as they do this very moment. Even when the Legion of Doom attacked Equestria — even that paled in comparison to the flurry of emotions they were all experiencing right now. Because unlike before, they knew there was nothing they could do about this. Even friendship must abide by the rules of life. "I know it's weird, but knowing you're all as upset as I am actually makes me less worried." The Princess of Friendship said with a teary smile. Indeed, as strange as it was for her to say this, crying alongside her friends and knowing they were in fact feeling like she was the entire time felt more healing than before. Crying with one's friends was more healing than crying alone. "That's nice, but you should be more worried about missing the train to Canterlot!" Spike exclaimed, lifting his pocket-watch to show how far behind schedule they all were. Outside, Starlight Glimmer had just arrived at the Castle of Friendship, and she was carrying with her a gift box. "Sorry, I'm so late. I actually thought I'd missed you—" Her sentence was cut short when The Mane Six and Spike bursted through the doors and ran past her with incredible speed, leaving Starlight dizzy and confused by what just happened. ... The Main Six and Spike arrived at the train station as quickly as they could, but they were too late, and were forced to watch the Friendship Express train leave Ponyville. But Twilight Sparkle, as always, was not a pony to give up so easily. "No. There's still a way." In a flash of purple light, Twilight used her magic to make herself and her friends disappear, and reappear inside the train, surprising the ponies that were inside. ... "Okay. We're on the train. Everything should be fine, right?" She asked with a nervous smile, to which her friends respond by smiling back nervously. Each of the Mane Six ponies each took a respective seat inside the train, but they were far from comfortable. "I'd worked out exactly how much time I needed to weave my star spider sash, and now I'm behind!" Rarity exclaimed with worry, taking her seat and placing her glass case of star spiders close by. "I hope Big Mac can figure out who gets what deliveries on his own." Applejack gulped while taking a seat next to Spike. Now that she was on the train, her brother was going to have to remember which carts contained which foods for the coronation by himself. Applejack could only hope that Big Mac doesn't mix up the deliveries to Canterlot Castle. "I don't have the snacks the doves and swans will need to perform after their long flight. I'd better find the food!" Fluttershy said with worry before she handed her cage of hummingbird over to Rarity, who placed them near the star spiders while the shy pegasus raced outside. "And I need to meet the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. She opened the train window and quickly flew out in a hurry. "The only thing I'm worried about is Gummy handling the fireworks display. But I'm sure it's fine." Pinkie tried to reassure herself with a nervous smile. "Well, it could always be worse." Twilight pointed out. Right after she said that, as if the universe was mocking her, the train suddenly stopped without warning, startling everypony inside. The reason being that there was a flock of sheep blocking the train tracks. Inside, everypony turned to Twilight and gave her unamused looks, to which she chuckled nervously. When would she learn to stop saying that? Canterlot With dusk fast approaching, the coronation in Canterlot was nearly complete, and all the pony and non-pony creatures have gathered. What's more, Discord was there with a specific job: His job was to use his magic to levitate Godzilla and all the other non-flying kaiju high in the air in order for them to watch Twilight's coronation, since the mountain in which Canterlot was present was too tall and too steep for them to climb without causing any destruction — and the kaiju themselves were too large to be in Canterlot in general. ... Inside the throne room, Celestia and Luna were greeted by the exhausted Twilight Sparkle, who was sweating profoundly and her mane was a mess. "Goodness, Twilight. Are you all right?" Luna asked with concern. "My friends and I had a few hiccups on the way. But everything's fine now." The Princess of Friendship reassured them with a nervous smile while a sheep passed through the hallway behind her. "We really are both just so proud of you. If you need a moment, that's all right. It is your coronation." Celestia softly said. However, Twilight, Celestia, and Luna were startled when they heard the trumpets fanfare outside. "Although it would be nice to get started. Are you ready?" Luna asked. "NO!" Rarity suddenly cried out as she raced in the room with the gown she made. "She can't possibly be crowned without wearing her coronation gown!" The fashion-designer pony exclaimed. "Very well." Celestia nodded before she and Luna went outside. ... The ponies and non-pony creatures have all gathered outside of Canterlot Castle, with the majority of them sitting in their respective tables, while the flyers hovered in the air. Thanks to Discord using his magic, Godzilla, Godzilla Junior, Anguirus, Titanosaurus, Gorosaurus, Baragon, King Caesar, as well as all the other non-flying titans, were magically levitated high in the air like balloons, allowing them to overlook everything that was happening in Canterlot. The kaiju that can fly on their own, Rodan, Mothra, and Battra, had no need for Discord's assistance, as they simply hovered near Canterlot Castle by flapping their wings. "Citizens of Equestria and beyond!" Celestia began announcing. Every creature started cheering and applauding — even Godzilla and his fellow monsters let out their respective roars as a form of applauding."My sister and I have ruled this land for quite some time, but even we know that change eventually comes to us all. And though we know it can be unsettling, it's as natural as the rising and setting of the Sun and the Moon. Both of which my sister and I feel confident leaving in the hooves of the pony who will come after us." She declared Inside, Rarity was forcefully dressing up Twilight as quickly as she could. And thankfully, she finished dressing her friend just in time. "You look amazing. Ooh! I almost forgot!" Rarity placed the special sash around Twilight's neck (unaware that the star spiders were on it). Satisfied and ready, the Princess of Friendship smiled at her friend and nodded before heading to the balcony. "And so without further ado, I give you the new ruler of Equestria - Princess Twilight Sparkle!" Celestia exclaimed proudly as she and Luna stepped aside to introduce Twilight, who walked in... and tripped over her gown, causing her to fall over on the floor in front of the audience. The coronation audience gasped in shock, but the kaiju looked confused, not quite sure what to think of this since this was something they have never experienced before. "Sorry." Twilight quickly picked herself up and apologized for her awkwardness, smiling nervously. Ignoring this, Celestia and Luna resumed the ceremony. The two sisters then levitated their respective crowns in the air with their magic, and fused them into a single crown. But right after they did that, Luna noticed the star spiders crawling on the unaware Twilight. "Um, Twilight...?" Before Luna could alert her, the hummingbirds and butterflies that Fluttershy enlisted arrived and surrounded Twilight as part of the ceremony. But the presence of the star spiders that were on her made things complicated and unable to go according to plan — the animals started hissing at each other and fighting. "Oh, dear. " Speaking of the yellow Pegasi, Fluttershy was overlooking this on a nearby balcony with worry, she was accompanied by the twin swans and doves that she also enlisted, who were angrily looking at her for the lack of food. "I know these aren't the snacks I promised, but it's all I could find." She offered them a carrot, which made them even more annoyed. ... Elsewhere, Spitfire and the Wonderbolts were watching the coronation from afar. "Well, Dash or no Dash, Twilight's about to get that crown. Wonderbolts, roll out!" On her command, she and the rest of the Wonderbolts took off... just as Rainbow Dash arrived. "No! Wait!" Rainbow quickly flew after them to try and stop them, but it was too late. ... Back at Canterlot, despite being angry at Fluttershy, the doves and swans nevertheless continued as planned. The doves flew around Twilight in a graceful manner, while the two swans held the crown in their beaks, and were about to place it on her head... but that was when the Wonderbolts arrived, streaking streams of colors behind them, which was followed by the fireworks going off near the balcony (which were launched by Gummy). Said fireworks subsequently disorientated one of the Wonderbolts, Misty Fly, who, in the confusion, accidentally darted past the swans, disrupting the crowning ceremony and causing them to drop the crown, forcing Twilight to leap forward and catch it in her head. She fell over the balcony, but quickly flew back up, utterly humiliated by this. The crowd gasped once again, and the kaiju were still confused by this, still not sure how to respond. But Godzilla, sensing the humiliation Twilight was feeling, decided to give his friend some applauding of his own. *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGK!* In response to his roar, the other titans started doing the same — they all let out their respective roars, chirps, and shrikes to applaud Twilight Sparkle's rising to power. Even if things didn't go exactly according to plan from the Equestrians' perspective, for the kaiju there was no difference. To Godzilla, all that mattered was Twilight's success and happiness. Things such as humiliation or perfectionism were irrelevant to him. Seeing Godzilla and the other kaiju applauding her regardless of the failed ceremony, Twilight couldn't help but smile at him with happiness and admiration. "Thanks, big guy." She said softly. "To Twilight!" Applejack exclaimed and toasted a glass to her friend... only to notice that said glass was empty. Seeing this, the lead waiter gave the other waiter ponies their cue to start filling the glasses, but instead of apple cider like the farm pony expected, Applejack and the other guests were served applesauce. Confused, the orange Earth pony looked leery at Big Mac, who looked away from her in shame. Finally, after partying for hours and getting everything else done, the coronation was over. Godzilla and the other kaiju ended up enjoying the coronation far more than they previously expected. Given the circumstances of their lives in their world, this was something they have never experienced before, and likely would never experience again. They have never felt so alive, and so happy in their entire lives. Godzilla was especially happy that he had the opportunity to watch his pony friend ascend to power and become the new ruler of this land that he came to love. Speaking of his friend, the exhausted now-ruler of Equestria walked over to her friends' table and rested her head against it. Her friends snickered before bursting into laughter, including Twilight herself. "That was something." She chuckled. "I was just about to say the same thing." Everyone turned and were greeted Starlight and Spike arriving, with the latter carrying a gift box. "I know maybe it wasn't the coronation you planned, but it's good to see all of you laughing." Starlight said happily. "We wanted to give this to you before you left Ponyville, but things got a little hectic." Spike said, offering Twilight the gift. "Since you're moving away, we thought if you missed any of us, Ponyville or Godzilla, this might help." Starlight explained. Taking the present and opening it, Twilight was taken back by what the gift was — It was a magical book that contained all the past memories and adventures of herself and her friends. When she first arrived in Ponyville with Spike, to the defeat of Nightmare Moon, to the reformation of Discord, the battle with Tirek, the two defeats of Chrysalis, the meeting with Godzilla and his kaiju allies — it was all here, in the form of animated pictures. Shortly after the defeat of the Legion of Doom, Starlight and Spike made this magical book with the help of Twilight's friends in secret. "It's a Book of Memories." Pinkie Pie inquired. "And we all chipped in some." Applejack added. "No matter how much things change, you'll always have this to look back on." Fluttershy assured her. "I love it. Thank you so much. But I don't want to only look back. Obviously the coronation wasn't perfect, but that doesn't matter. It's our relationships that really count, and we have to maintain them." Twilight explained. "But now that we'll be living in different places, I'm not exactly sure how." Rarity pointed out with uncertainty. "I am." Twilight stated. "I suggest we meet once a moon. In fact, my first royal decree as Ruler of Equestria is to establish this Council of Friendship!" Her friends started cheering happily and loudly at this decree. However, the happy moment was abruptly interrupted when they, and almost every other creature present at Canterlot, heard the voices of the Elias in their heads. "Princess Twilight Sparkle..." "Oh... yes, Elias?" She asked. "It is time..." These words shook Twilight and her friends down to their very core. They all knew this was the day where Godzilla and his allies will be going back home. There was no denying it. And just like they planned, Twilight's coronation doubled as a special party for Godzilla and his fellow kaiju to enjoy before they bid Equestria goodbye — it was the least Twilight and her friends could do for them. "I understand." The now-Ruler of Equestria softly replied with sadness in her tone. ... After a little while, all the kaiju had gathered near Ponyville, in the same area where Godzilla first landed, on the instructions of the Elias. All of the titans were present: Godzilla, Godzilla Junior, Anguirus, Rodan, Manda, Varan, Zilla, Baragon, Battra, Mothra, Kamoebas, Ganimes, Titanosaurus, Ebirah, Kumonga, Gezora, Gorosaurus, Maguma, Kamacuras, and King Caesar. They were joined by the inhabitants of Equestria, who were watching and waiting to see what will happen next. Eventually, their patience payed off: Out of thin air, a swirling black circle-like portal of incredible size suddenly manifested right in front of the kaiju and Equestria's inhabitants. It closely resembled the first portal that brought Godzilla to Equestria, except it was slightly larger and placed in a vertical way, whereas the first one appeared high in the sky and was suspended in a horizontal way. The inhabitants of Equestria looked at the portal in shock and awe, and that was when two small creatures emerged from the portal, catching the attention of Twilight Sparkle and her friends, as well as everyone else. They were small, standing no more than several inches tall (barely reaching Spike's knees), and oddly enough, they resembled those two-legged creatures that wore clothes and resided in the alternate world which Sunset Shimmer lived in. Yet despite this, Twilight instinctively knew exactly who these little creatures were... "It's nice to finally meet you, Elias." The current Ruler of Equestria said with a warm smile as she approached the Elias. "Likewise, Princess Twilight Sparkle." The Elias replied, bowing their heads in respect. "Wait a minute! Hold on!" Rainbow Dash suddenly came into the fray. "You mean to tell me that's how you look like? Not that there's anything wrong with your looks, mind you." "I think you look adorable." Fluttershy cooed with starry-eyes. Despite knowing the Elias for over an year, neither Twilight nor her friends ever thought too much about how the Elias looked in person, since they were separated in different worlds and had to communicate via telepathy. Now, seeing their physical appearances for the first time, the inhabitants of Equestria were surprised, to say the least. Like Twilight, Spike also quickly noticed the uncanny resemblance to those bipeds when he and his adopted sister were in that alternate world. "It is quite alright, Miss Rainbow Dash." The Elias said with soft smiles. "Just Rainbow Dash is fine." The blue Pegasi said, disliking being refereed as 'Miss'. Nodding, the Elias turned to Princess of Friendship. "Princess Twilight Sparkle, we would like to thank you and all of your friends for helping Godzilla, and for showing him kindness. Believe us when we say you truly changed Godzilla's life for the better." "I'm honored, Elias." Twilight smiled before turning to the Monster King. "But Godzilla changed my life, as well. He helped us get through hard times, and Equestria wouldn't be here without him and his friends. We all owe Godzilla and his friends our eternal gratitude." She smiled at the Monster King, who gave her a look of gratitude and admiration. "I already know how hard it is to say goodbye to a friend that you've known for so long and accomplished so much with them. Even though I know it's necessary, it always hurts when it comes to this moment." "We understand how you feel, Twilight." The Elias said sympathetically. "Change is the process of life. Any situation, no matter how good or bad, will always change. But a thing is not beautiful because it lasts. For Godzilla, it was a privilege to be among you." "I know..." Twilight nodded with a sad, but understanding look turning to the other kaiju. "Thank you all for saving our home, our kingdom, and my friends. And for making Equestria more beautiful than it ever was before. I, Princess Twilight Sparkle, will always remember and honor your bravery and heroism! You will always be remembered as heroes in Equestria, no matter what others think of you! And someday, I hope we will meet again." The kaiju, especially Godzilla, felt very touched by these kind words and praises. Never in their long lives had they ever thought they would feel this way for any creature, and never had they expected it would hurt so much when it came to bidding them farewell. The inhabitants of Equestria felt the same way; they never imagined such large and powerful monsters would be their saviors, and they certainly never imagined they would make their home even more lush and rich with new resources and foods thanks to the unique vegetation that was grown from the titans' radiation. Suffice to say, both the kaiju and Equestria's inhabitants greatly enjoyed their time together. But sadly, all good things must come to an end, and both parties knew it. With soft growls and gentle looks on their faces, the kaiju began heading for the giant portal, one by one. King Caesar was the first to bid the inhabitants of Equestria his farewell; he waved his three-clawed hand at them before going through, and disappearing into the portal. The kirins, especially Autumn Blaze, shed a few tears as they watched their friend and savior leave. The next to say his goodbye was Titanosaurus. He let out a friendly shriek to the Hippogriffs, who in turn waved their claws at him (Silverstream even winked at him) before he went through the portal and disappeared, as well. Next was Baragon, who roared loudly to Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo as a way of saying goodbye. The Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled at him with tears in their eyes and waved their hooves before he turned and walked through the portal, joining King Caesar and Titanosaurus. Slowly but surely, each and every kaiju took their turns bidding Equestria and its inhabitants farewell before walking into the portal and disappearing. The next to leave was Zilla, followed by Gorosaurus, then Maguma, then Ganimes, Ebirah, Gezora, Manda, Kamoebas, Kumonga, and Kamacuras. After Varan disappeared into the portal, it was Anguirus' turn. The mutant ankylosaur gently nuzzled Applejack, Maud Pie, and Pinkie Pie, his three favorite ponies. In response, Pinkie tied a balloon to Anguirus' nose horn, a gift to remember them when he goes home. Even more surprisingly, Maud Pie actually smiled (something she very rarely does) and patted Anguirus on the snout. With a nod and a friendly growl, the ankylosaur took his leave. "Bye, Anguirus!" Pinkie shouted loudly while waving her hoof frantically. "Later, big fella'!" Applejack also shouted. "Goodbye, Anguirus." Maud said with her usual dry tone, but she also had a happy smile on her face. Next was Battra. The dark Divine Moth turned to Tempest Shadow, his closest and most trusted friend ever since he came to Equestria, and let out a soft chirp. "Heh. You too, big guy." Tempest smiled warmly, waving her hoof at him. Nodding, Battra turned and flew into the portal. After he disappeared, Mothra went next. The Queen of the Monsters lowered her head and softly chirped to Fluttershy and Rarity. "Goodbye, Mothra. I'll miss you." The kind pegasus said with a friendly smile, wiping away some tears. "Take care, darling! You've done so much for me!" Rarity said tearfully, blowing her nose with a tissue paper. With a nod, Mothra turned to the portal and flew in to join her counterpart. Rodan, being the next one, spread his wings and let out a loud screech. "Heh. Same here, Rodan." Gallus smirked, giving the giant pterosaur a thumbs-up. Flapping his wings, the Samurai of the Skies took to the air in an instant, before he turned and flew straight towards the portal with incredible speed, where he disappeared. "Hehe. Showoff." Rainbow Dash commented with a good-natured chuckle . Finally, only Godzilla and Godzilla Junior were left. The Monster Prince turned to his adopted father, who nodded at him. Turning to the Young Six, Junior let out his roar to a way of saying his farewell to his Equestria friends. *SKREEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOONGK!* "I'm gonna miss you so much!" Silverstream cried out. "Take care, big guy!" Smolder gave him a thumbs-up. "And stay awesome!" Gallus called out. "You'll always be in our hearts." Sandbar stated. "Yona will miss giant friend! But Yona will always remember giant friend!" Yona exclaimed. "We'll never forget you, Junior!" Ocellus said, waving her hoof. Junior growled softly and nodded happily, before he turned and walked into the portal, disappearing like the rest of the titans. Now, Godzilla himself was the only one left. The Monster King turned his head and noticed Twilight Sparkle flying up to him before stopping right in front of his face. "For everything you've done for us, I want you to have something." The Princess of Friendship said before using her magic to rip off a scale from Godzilla, which she then used like a blade to cut off her tail. Twilight then placed her severed tail in the palm of Godzilla's hand. "It's a little something I learned from Rarity." She said, turning to her said friend, who smiled and blushed. Twilight remembered how Rarity sliced off her tail in order to restore Steven Magnet's mustache back when she first met her friends. Using this example, she did the same to her own tail using Godzilla's scale. "Please keep my tail so you can always look back to your time in Equestria, and I'll be keeping your scale so I can remember you, Godzilla." The Monster King looked at Twilight's severed tail in his clawed hand, and a small tear slid from the corner of his left eye. Godzilla had felt many emotions over the course of his long life: Disgust, anger, happiness, surprise, trust, confusion, frustration, confidence, and love. But right now he was feeling an emotion he has never felt before: Sadness. This was a new experience for the Monster King, it felt both frustrating and comforting at the same time, like nothing he has ever felt before. Being in Equestria for so long, Godzilla began experiencing emotions he had never felt before — emotions he never even knew he had. And he truly did not know how to react to this. Noticing this, Twilight gently placed her hoof on the Monster King's snout and gave him her own teary smile. "You'll always be in the heart and memories of me, and all of Equestria. And we'll always be in yours. All of us will always be with you, Godzilla. Always." With that, she leaned her head forward and kissed Godzilla on the snout, making his eyes widen in surprise. In response, Godzilla gently breathed into Twilight's face, blowing her mane and making her giggle. He then turned to look at the rest of Equestria's inhabitants, the creatures that showed him kindness, loyalty, honesty, generosity, happiness, and love. Lifting his head, the King of Monsters let out his mighty roar for one final time. *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGK!* Everyone began cheering and applauding the Monster King loudly and happily! Ponies stamped their hooves against the ground! Yaks jumped up and down while yelling! Dragons breathed fire and roared alongside him! Every single creature let out some form of applaud or praise in their own way! Finally, after finishing his roar, Godzilla turned around, and proceeded to walk into the portal with his friend's severed tail in his hand. "Once again, we wish to thank you all sincerely for your help and kindness." The Elias once again bowed to Twilight and the other inhabitants of Equestria, before going to join the Monster King. "And we are more than happy to have helped." Celestia said with a motherly smile. "Goodbye, my friend." Princess Twilight Sparkle softly said with a teary smile as she and her friends watched Godzilla and the Elias disappear into the portal. After the Monster King and the Elias were gone, the circle-shaped portal shrank smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely. ...It was over. Godzilla and all the other kaiju were gone from Equestria. All the ponies and non-pony creatures let that sink in. It became quiet. Too quiet. Twilight took this moment of silence to take a deep breath and sigh softly. She looked at the severed scale of Godzilla, and hugged it tightly. "You'll always be in my heart, Godzilla." She quietly declared, tears still streaming from her eyes. Many years later Many years had passed since Godzilla and all of the other titans left Equestria, but the mark they left on this world was never forgotten. In this future, Canterlot was not only inhabited by ponies, but also by dragons, griffons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs and various other creatures that were living in harmony. It was a true paradise, one that even Celestia and Luna did not expect to happen to this degree. There were also statues of the various kaiju that shaped Equestria into the beauty it was today, placed throughout most of the gardens, and most of them were those of Anguirus, Rodan, Mothra, Godzilla Junior, and of course, Godzilla himself. There was even a museum that opened in Canterlot, which was solely dedicated to teaching ponies and other creatures about the kaiju. This museum was filled with various statues, paintings, and even plastic-made figures of all the kaiju that visited Equestria, including the villainous ones. New students that have never seen the kaiju often came to this museum to learn how big and powerful they were, what unique abilities they possessed, and how they fought alongside the inhabitants of Equestria to save both worlds. Of course, over these many years, other things had also changed: Yona and Sandbar were now a couple, and worked in Rarity's old dressmaking shop. Gallus became the Captain of the Royal Guards after Shining Armor retired. Granny Smith sadly passed away from old age, her scarf passed to Applejack. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were all grown up, and now worked as teachers in the School of Friendship. Flurry Heart had grown to become a beautiful teenager. Pinkie Pie was married to Cheese Sandwich, and they had a son named Li'l Cheese. The same was true with Big Mac and Sugar Belle, who also had a son. ... Inside the throne room, Twilight Sparkle had just finished signing some royal documents before teleporting them where they need to go. Over the years, Twilight had grown much taller than before, she was now taller than most of her friends. In fact, she was the same height and size as Celestia herself — and even had a similar form to her former ruler. Her mane and tail had also become longer, as well as flowing exactly like Celestia's and Luna's. She was wearing her fused princess crown, a golden necklace, and high-heel golden shoes. Recently, about a few weeks ago, Twilight sent her most gifted student, Luster Dawn, to Ponyville. Luster showed a lack of interest in the school curriculum's focus on making friends, seeing friendship as a waste of time and instead wanted to pursue independent study. Princess Twilight then told her the story of how her coronation went disastrously wrong many years prior. At first, Luster interpreted Twilight's story as proof of her view that making friends was pointless, but after meeting Twilight and her friends' Council of Friendship, and seeing how close they have stayed throughout the years, she changed her stance. When Luster was unsure how to start making friends herself, Princess Twilight sent her to Ponyville, where her own journey of friendship first began. Luster Dawn then departed to spend time with her new friends, including a Kirin, a griffon, a yak, and another pony. "I'm back, Twilight. Being a Friendship ambassador is never as easy as it used to." Spike said, entering the throne room. Just like his adopted sister, Spike had also grown over these years; he was now a full-grown adult dragon. Spike was now bigger than his friends, as he was the same size as Twilight. His wings had also grown bigger and longer, allowing him to fly faster. In addition to becoming an adult, Spike's body became more muscular and beefier, making him stronger than before, and his face became more like a full-grown dragon's with his chin bigger and more manly-like. He was wearing his gold medal around his neck as a sign that he was the ambassador of all the creatures in Equestria. "That's why I picked you for the job." Twilight reminded him before they shared a hug. "I'm glad you could come." Princess Twilight and Spike flew in their respective thrones, where they sat to continue the conversation. "So what's been going on here?" Spike asked. "I have a sneaky suspicion it has something to do with Luster Dawn, doesn't it?" "Pretty much. Yeah." Twilight admitted with a coy smile, making Spike playfully roll his eyes and smile, as well. "I thought so." He chuckled. "She's been making me burp letters to you on an almost weekly basis by now." "Ever since I sent Luster Dawn to Ponyville to start learning about friendship, she's been sending me letters, asking me more about Godzilla and his friends." The Ruler of Equestria explained. "So I decided to invite her to meet him." This information caused Spike to perk up even more, and made a wide grin on his face. "Oh, so we're gonna do that thing, again, huh?" "Yup." Twilight smiled happily. ... After waiting for a little while, Gallus, the new Captain of the Royal Guards, opened one of the doors. "Your Majesty, she's here." He informed. "Send her in, Gallus." With a bow, the griffon opened the other door, allowing Luster Dawn to enter the throne room. Luster was a unicorn with a pink coat and a golden tail, and a mane with a bracelet ponytail. Her cutie mark was that of the Sun setting. "Greetings, your Majesty." She said with an excited smile before remembering to bow. "I know you're still my teacher, but I sometimes can't help myself." "I understand." Princess Twilight nodded. "So, I've noticed you've been asking me about Godzilla and his friends, lately." "How could we not?" Spike asked sarcastically. "I've been burping letters on a weekly basis." "Sorry about that." Luster apologized, smiling in embarrassment. "It's just that I wanna know more about the big impact they've made on Equestria. Don't get me wrong, I did my research and study on them when I was at the museum, and when I was in Ponyville with my friends, everyone always talks about them. How they saved us from the evil monsters. How they grew new foods and resources for us. And I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I just wanna know more about them, because I somehow feel like I'm not getting the full picture." Hearing this, Princess Twilight smiled. "I see. You want to meet Godzilla in person, but you're frustrated because he's now living in a different world. Heh. I would have felt the same way if I was in your place, Luster. But what if I told you could meet him, right now?" These words caused the unicorn to be taken by surprise. She was about to smile and exclaim 'Yes!' before she remembered something else. "But... aren't they in a different world?" She recalled, remembering the full story. "Perhaps. But when there's a will, there's a way." The Ruler of Equestria said with a coy smile before getting off her throne and walking to Luster. Right after she said that, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity entered the throne room, followed by Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie (who came via a portal from Discord). Since they didn't have Twilight's immortality, her friends have aged quite a bit over the years, as they all had visible wrinkles under their eyes. Pinkie Pie's mane and tail were longer and bushier (with her mane also standing up), and were covered in candy, toys, and other party materials. Fluttershy had a ponytail mane with a flower-shaped bracelet. Rarity had grey strands of hair in her mane and tail, and was wearing a blue-colored fur coat. Applejack was wearing Granny Smith's scarf around her neck. Rainbow Dash's mane was shaped like a flame, and she was wearing a jacket. "It's been quite a while since we've done this. Eh', Twilight?" Applejack asked, approaching her friend alongside their other friends. "Personally, I don't think we've done this enough." Rainbow inquired, hovering next to the farm pony. "I hope Godzilla and the others aren't getting too lonely without us calling them." Fluttershy quietly said with a bit of concern. "Wait, what's going on?" Luster Dawn couldn't help but ask. She was still completely confused by what they were talking about. "Come with me." Twilight politely ordered, prompting Luster and everyone else to start following her to a certain room in the castle. ... After walking through the hallways for a bit, Twilight, Luster, and their friends arrived in a very unique room. It was rather large on the inside, with various glass windows, depicting Godzilla and the other kaiju fighting alongside the Mane Six against their enemies, placed all over the walls. But what really caught everyone's attention was what was in the center of this room. In the center, there was a tall pie-crust table with a charcoal-gray scale on top of it, protected by a glass dome. Luster Dawn was amazed, since this was a room she had never been to before — it fascinated her to be in here for the very first time. But her excitement slightly dropped when she saw what was being held here. "This is the scale of Godzilla." Twilight began to explain, approaching the table and lifting the dome. "Ever since he left Equestria, I've been keeping it here, in this special room, so we can always remember him and his friends. But much more recently, we discovered a way to reach them." "Wait. You can actually bring Godzilla back to Equestria with this scale?" Luster Dawn asked. There was a hint of skepticism in her voice. "Not exactly." Her teacher admitted. "But I think it's better if I show you, instead. Are you ready?" "Sure!" Luster quickly said, eager to see how this will go. Closing her eyes, Twilight Sparkle began concentrating hard and started drawing all of her magic in her horn, while her friends did the same. Seeing this, Luster decided to follow them. Not long after, Twilight's horn was surrounded by a vibrant purple aura which started expending, and growing bigger and bigger. At that moment, Twilight reopened her eyes, which were now glowing with a bright white light. ... "You can open your eyes, Luster." Hearing her teacher's gentle voice, Luster shut her eyes open, and the moment she did so, she almost screamed out loud. Luster, Twilight, Spike, and the rest of their friends were now in what appeared to be a white empty space of nothingness. Luster saw absolutely nothing here, except a white space that stretched for eternity. "Where are we?" Luster asked. "It's been a while since I've seen you, Twilight." A very deep and manly voice called out of nowhere, startling Luster. When she turned around to meet the owner of the voice, she found herself in a loss for words; in front of her stood a rather tall and scary-looking reptilian creature that looked somewhat like a dragon, but without wings. He was slightly taller than Twilight and Spike, and had sharp jagged spikes on his back. He also had several spikes on the bottom of his chin that resembled a beard. "Good to see you too, Godzilla." Twilight said before she and the new creature hugged each other, followed by Spike, who shared a fist-bump with him. "You're not the little dragon I remember, Spike." The Monster King said, chuckling. "Yeah. I bet I'm strong enough to take on Ghidorah now." Spike said with a cocky grin, flexing his muscles. "Hope you didn't miss us too much, Big G." Rainbow chimed in. "Well, you are a little late. More so than usual today." Godzilla folded his arms, smiling kindly. "We're sorry, but we were kind of caught-up with our lives." Fluttershy explained apologetically. "Has Anguirus said anything about Li'l Cheese?" Pinkie Pie asked eagerly. "Yeah. He said take care, and make sure he grows up big and strong." The Monster King said. "By the way, Anguirus is still keeping that balloon you gave him." "I gotta' say, it's been way too long without hearing from you, big fella'." Applejack smiled happily. "And I hear you've made some new friends when you left Equestria." Rarity recalled. "I sure did. I think you'll like them." Godzilla said, smiling proudly. "By the way, can you call Smolder, Silverstream, Yona, Gallus, Sandbar, and Ocellus next time? My son really wants to see them." Princess Twilight Sparkle turned to her student. "Luster, I would like you to meet Godzilla." With a proud smile, she introduced her student to the kaiju, who now took notice of the young unicorn. "So, this is your prized student, Twilight?" Godzilla asked, looking at Luster Dawn and studying her carefully. "She kind of reminds me of you all those years back." Luster, on the other hand, was having a hard time processing what was happening right now. "I-I don't get it. How is this possible?" It was all she could ask at the moment. "A few years ago, I developed a powerful and unique spell that allows me to communicate with Godzilla and his friends via telepathy." Twilight began to explain. "Right now, we're in what I like to call the Mindscape. Our physical bodies are still in Equestria, but our minds and souls are in this astral plane. This is how we're able to communicate with Godzilla and his friends now." "So it's like a dream, then?" Luster quickly caught on, already starting to like this new spell. "This is so amazing!" "And just like a dream, we can do pretty much anything we want in this place." Her teacher explained with another motherly smile. "Like being able to talk, or change our size." Godzilla inquired. "What do you mean by-" Before Luster could finish, Godzilla suddenly grew to 190 meters tall in an instant, giving the young unicorn a good long look of his true size before he shrank back to their size. "That's how big I am right now in the real world." The Monster King said with a smirk. Over these many years that passed, Godzilla had grown from 100 meters to 190 meters tall. In addition to his larger size, he also grew several spikes on the bottom of his chin that resembled a beard. Luster didn't know what to say. To think that Godzilla was that huge in real life, it almost blew her mind. But yet, it fascinated her even more. "By the way, wanna see my world?" "S-Sure, I guess." Luster couldn't help but smile, and also eager to see Godzilla's world. In a matter of seconds, the white empty void that was surrounding them began dissolving away, before getting replaced by a much more beautiful and awe-inspiring view. Luster, Twilight, Godzilla, Spike, and all of their friends found themselves standing on nothing but air, several thousand meters in the sky. Below, they saw an ocean of greenery, made up mostly of forests and jungles, which stretched for miles. They also saw large cities that were comprised of tall buildings (far taller than any in Equestria), which seemed to be made of silver, as they shined brightly by reflecting the light of the Sun. However, these cities were relatively few compared to the massive forests that surrounded them. Luster looked in amazement and awe, completely astonished by this unique world. "When we returned to our world, some of the magic that was in Equestria got infused with our radiation. And because of that, forests and other vegetation began growing at an accelerated rate when we returned home." The Monster King explained. "And we are no longer in conflict with the humans, anymore." "You found a way to live in harmony with the humans in your world." Princess Twilight confirmed. "But none of this would have happened if I wasn't sent to Equestria, and meet you, Twilight Sparkle." Godzilla said, turning to his friend with a warm smile. "And we wouldn't have had Equestria if it wasn't for you, Godzilla." Twilight replied with an equally-affectionate smile of her own. "Hey, who are those guys?" Pinkie Pie suddenly asked, and pointed at a certain group of kaiju roaming the forests, away from the cities. There were five kaiju that the Mane Six and Spike knew never came to Equestria, and who were currently roaming the forests and jungles of Godzilla's world. "Those are my new friends I told you about." The Monster King said before he began to introducing the new kaiju. The first kaiju was a quadrupedal creature that had a mammalian face and possessed two horns on the sides of his head like a bull. His eyes lacked visible pupils and were glossy, and clouded-over. He also had a stubby tail, but the beast's most noticeable physical trait was the gigantic mountain he was carrying on his back, which Luster Dawn speculated would allow this gigantic creature to blend into the landscape (she had no idea how correct she was). This kaiju's name was Methuselah. "Heh. He reminds me a bit of Tank." Rainbow Dash said. "Really? Because he looks more like Anguirus." Pinkie commented, noticing a odd similarities between Anguirus and Methuselah. "Are they brothers?" The second kaiju looked like a cross between a mollusk and a spider. It had a squid-like body and six incredibly long spider-like legs which it used to walk. Its torso possessed a noticeable ridge and a raised spine, with a large curved extension above its head, in a similar manner to the shell of a Chambered nautilus. Finally, this titan possessed a rounded head with two small eyes, and several tentacles which hanged down from its mouth area. This one was called Scylla. "I think I know of a monster similar to that one in one of my books." The Ruler of Equestria recalled while studying Scylla, remembering a scary book she once read about a monster with a cephalopod-like head. "For a moment, I thought that was Kumonga." Rarity said. Like Pinkie, she also noticed the similarities between a kaiju she already knew, and this new kaiju that she was seeing for the first time. Though Scylla looked more like a crustacean and a cephalopod combined, rather than an arachnid. The next kaiju looked (more or less) like a giant gorilla. Although this new kaiju closely resembled a gorilla, it had other noticeable differences aside from its size. Unlike normal gorillas, which walked on their knuckles, this giant ape walked upright like a human, with incredibly long arms held at his sides. His fur was a light brown color and covers the majority of his body except for his face, chest, hands, and feet. The giant primate's skin was a dark gray color, and he had a large scar running across his chest. This beast was named Kong, but he was referred by many as King Kong: The Eight Wonder of the World! "The walking mountain is called Methuselah. The spider-squid hybrid over there is named Scylla." Godzilla introduced his friends to two of the new kaiju, before his face turned to slight disdain and annoyance when he moved to the third one. "And that darn dirty ape over there is Kong." Understandably, Twilight, Luster, and the others looked at the Monster King with confusion when he spoke about the last giant monster with disdain in his voice. It sounded like he and Kong didn't get along very well. "Pardon me, big fella, but why did you call him that just now?" Applejack couldn't help but ask, glancing at Kong, who was drinking water from a nearby river. "Let's just say that Kong and I have a bit of a rivalry at the moment." Godzilla snorted and folded his arms, looking away from Kong. The others could sense that the Monster King didn't want to talk about the giant ape anymore, so they decided to move on. However, judging from the tone in his voice and the look on his face, Twilight could tell that Godzilla didn't view Kong as an enemy like with King Ghidorah and Destoroyah. He instead saw the giant ape as a rival, just like how Rainbow Dash and Applejack used to be rivals — something which made her giggle with nostalgia. The next kaiju the ponies and Spike saw looked rather bizarre to say the least, even by 'strange creature' standards. It looked something like a beetle crossed with a vertebrate: Its body was covered in a grey exoskeleton, and it had two pairs of long forelimbs, as well as another smaller pair on its chest, all which ended in scythe-like ends. It had a long and triangular head with the top of its head flat, and possessed triangular jaws with seemingly degenerated rows of sharp teeth. Finally, this strange creature had red eyes, two hind legs, and dorsal ridges on its back. "Her name is Barb." Godzilla told them. "She was originally called Queen MUTO, but she changed her name to Barb because it sounded better." "Wow. She's a very unique creature." Fluttershy commented, gazing at the MUTO with curiosity. "I hope I can meet her sometime." "This is so amazing!" Exclaimed the excited Luster Dawn, looking at all the titans in amazement and disbelief. But then, her eyes landed on a particular kaiju that she found more fascinating than all the previous ones combined. This kaiju that caught Luster Dawn's full interest was peacefully grazing on some large trees. It looked like a mix of a mammoth, a gorilla, and a giant ground sloth, as it moved through its environment by knuckle-walking using its long and muscular forelimbs which were larger than its hind legs. The creature's forelimbs had sharp claws like those of a sloth, while its hind legs had hooves. This kaiju was also covered in light brown fur, and had a very small trunk similar to that of a tapir. Finally, the titan's most noticeable physical trait were its two enormous, asymmetrical tusks protruding from its face. They were sharp, curved, and incredibly sturdy, just like those of a mammoth. "Who's that?" Luster asked, pointing at the mammoth-sloth hybrid. "Oh, him? His name is Behemoth." Godzilla said. "Honestly, he's actually pretty new." "C-Can I meet him...?" The young unicorn asked curiously. Both Twilight and Godzilla picked up the interest that was in Luster's eyes, as well as the eagerness in her voice. It reminded them of how Twilight reacted when she and her friends encountered Godzilla for the first time in Equestria, all those years ago. They both smiled warmly at her and nodded. "Of course." The Monster King said kindly. Once again, the world around them dissolved into nothingness, and the heroes once again found themselves in the white space. But this time they had some new company..."Oh, Godzilla, is that you?" Everyone turned around and saw Behemoth approaching them. Just like Godzilla, he was also shrunk in size in the Mindscape. "Did you call me, sir?" His voice was not as deep as Godzilla's, but it sounded more gentlemanly. "Behemoth, this is Luster Dawn. I'm sure by now you know about the ponies." The Monster King said, introducing Luster to the mammoth-like kaiju. "She wants to talk to you for a bit." "H-Hey, Behemoth." Luster waved her hoof awkwardly and smiled at him nervously. "Hello. You're Luster Dawn...right?" Behemoth asked, scratching the side of his head with his clawed forelimb, also feeling somewhat awkward communicating with a pony for the first time. "Yeah. That's my name." She said politely. "I never had a chance to meet you, but I'm rather curious to learn about you're kind. And... well... You're the most interesting creature I've ever seen." The unicorn said this with the most straight face she could. Surprisingly, in response to this, Behemoth looked away from her in a shy manner while tapping one of his tusks with his claw. "Well... uh... Thank you. That was very nice of you to say." Both the kaiju and the pony felt very awkward speaking to each other like this. Finally, summoning all her courage, Luster walked up to Behemoth, and with a warm, friendly smile, she said. "Behemoth, I want to extend my hoof of friendship to you." Before offering her hoof. The mammoth-sloth kaiju was taken by surprise at this, he looked at the unicorn with a bit of uncertainty. But soon, he extended his clawed forelimb, and gently grabbed Luster's hoof. "Yes. I would like that, Luster Dawn." Behemoth said as a friendly smile formed on his face. Godzilla and Twilight, along with their friends, smiled with joy and happiness while observing the newly-formed friendship between Luster Dawn and Behemoth. It simply goes to show that even if they were separated between worlds, and had moved on with their lives, that didn't mean that their friendship would fade away. Even if it was many years since they've seen each other, both Godzilla and Twilight Sparkle will always remember and cherish each other's memories, and maintain their relationship for the rest of their long lives. No matter how much time passed, or how much time will pass, the Magic of Friendship will always stay strong in both worlds. The end is only part of the journey.
