My Little Kaiju: Ponies Are Weird

The instant Cutting woke up he charged to the the window and emptied his stomach on the grass. After he was done vomiting he tried to remember what could have made him so sick. Unfortunately for him, last night was a blur of events that he could not pin down. He staggered downstairs and found Twilight brewing something in a cauldron.

"What happened? And why do I feel like my nerve chain has been spiked?" Cutting groaned miserably. Twilight raised her eye ridge at the nerve chain comment but ignored it while pouring her potion into a glass.

"I won't go into the details but you couldn't handle your drink, got drunk, and probably have a terrible hangover." Twilight said while adding some magic to the potion. Cutting had no clue what a "hangover" was but he knew he wanted it to go away. "Here, this will help get rid of the hangover" Twilight said before pushing him the now energized potion. Cutting looked at it with suspicion. What if this was like "Everclear"? In the end Cutting's pain won out. He gulped down the brew in one swig then tried to find Spike. The dragon had seemed interesting and he had been willing to talk with him.

"Where is Spike?" Cutting questioned, already feeling his headache subside. Whatever Twilight had given him worked fast.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him all morning. He can handle himself though, he'll be fine" Twilight said in a way that made it sound like she was convincing herself.

"What do I do now?" Cutting questioned, hoping the mare could talk about something to take his mind off of things.

"Well, you could try and find a job if you want something to do" Twilight said after thinking for a few seconds. Cutting sighed under his breath at the comment. He had hoped that he'd be able to just frolick about without any responsiblities. Obviously, ponies had the same work ettiquette as humans.

"Do you know of any job opportunities?" Cutting said hoping against hope that she wouldn't say what his body wanted to hear.

"Well I hear Rarity has a job opening" she said in a tone which suggested that it was the only choice. Cutting launched into a string of curses in Kaiju

"Filii canis! Quid opus est exlecebra haerebam" he screamed, his ears turning red due to his heart disagreeing with him. Twilight blinked as if trying to see if this was all a dream. Cutting felt his blush intensify as he charged out the door, all the while screaming curses that could probably flinch even punks like Leatherback. Why was he so attracted to that mare!? Actually, a better question was, why was he so adamant against it? If he was going to be a pony forever(something which he had accepted yesterday) then he should be happy as a pony.

In no time Cutting was at Rarity's boutique filling out inventory for the alabaster unicorn. Cutting however ignored the paper work and focused on trying to think of the right way to tell her. I have dreams of you screwing me? No and very creepy. He sighed to himself before focusing on the task at hoof again. Heh, maybe there was something in the atmosphere since he would've never said that as Knifehead. Come to think of it, he called himself Cutting Edge even in his mind now. After several hours that made Cutting wish he had fingers or claws, the inventory was finished and Rarity praised him.

"I simply can't thank you enough Cutting,  I do anything for you?" she said while smiling kindly. Cutting smirked as he thought of a few things involving worms and Leatherback's EMP organ.  Cutting slapped himself mentally for the disturbing image. That he would not tell her. He tapped his forelimbs nervously, a nervous tic he had even as a kaiju. In the end, he decided that he would just tell her straight up about his infatuation. Just as his mouth opened the roof was torn off.

A huge dragon easily half the size of a Jaeger stood above Rarity and Cutting holding the roof in his claws. It grinned savagely while large globs of drool dripped from his mouth. Strangely Cutting was not thinking of the impending danger, but of himself.

"So that's why all the humans run when kaiju go near them" Cutting muttered to himself. It was really an eye opener since it was easy pretending humans didn't have feeling and were like insects because of their size. A wave of guilt hit him as he thought of how many people the kaiju had slaughtered. Even though he knew that the Precursors had ordered it, Cutting couldn't help but feel guilty. After all most kaiju enjoyed killing and would probably have killed humans without the Precursors' order. He didn't have time to ponder the issue any further as the dragon picked both him and Rarity up in one giant claw. "Would this be a good time to say that I love you?" Cutting questioned since among kaiju, lovers in battle were near sacred in terms of respect and honor. He berated himself mentally for being an idiot. His first romantic comment and it was while they were about to get eaten by a dragon. Perhaps his brain being guilty attributed to that. Surprisingly, Rarity answered him.

"I'm attracted to you but give me a few dates and we'll work something out" Rarity screamed to be heard over the wind as the dragon swept his hand through the air.

"No!" the dragon bellowed in rage. "Rarity is mine!" Rarity's eyes widened in shock

"Spike?" she said disappointedly to the dragon. Cutting's eyes widened in shock. This huge beast was Spike?! The friendly little dragon he had talked to yesterday being this huge beast confused Cutting. Rarity sensed his confusion and gave him an answer "When dragons get greedy or possessive they grow rapidly. It's why dragon have hoards" This revelation just made things worse for them Cutting realized. Spike obviously thought Rarity was his property judging by his reaction which meant he was pissed off at him! Spike brought him to eye-level while licking his chops savagely.

"Any last words, thief?" the dragon chuckled as he dangled Cutting above his maw. Cutting didn't know if it was the atmosphere or the new body driving him crazy but then he had a revelation. Spike was doing exactly what most kaiju did and however hypocrital it might be, he had to save these ponies from the fate Earth was doomed to.

"Yes you are a big coward!" Cutting screamed down Spike's throat. The bold statement confused the dragon and gave it a pause. "Just because you are stronger than somebody does not give you the right to bully them. You have to be the better creature and show that you're stronger inside as well" Cutting said adding more fuel to fire due to his personal experiences. "Attacking those weaker than you just shows how afraid and pathetic you really are" Cutting said causing one of Spike's pupils to turn into a circle again. "I know this because I was like you once but now I know that being better in spirit is far better than being better physically. Spike's other pupil turned into a circle again, quickly followed by the rest of his body returning to normal. Suddenly they were in free-fall from at least one hundred fifty feet.  "I'm also an agent of destruction called a kaiju who was mind-controlled" he blurted in his fear. For the fourth time since he had gotten to Equestria, Cutting fainted. Just before he did though, he saw a rainbow. A pretty rainbow.

When Cutting woke up the first thing he saw was Spike looking awkwardly apologetic. They didn't have to exchange words as Spike had heard what Cutting had said.

"Well, now you know how I felt" Cutting said quietly. Spike looked at him before giving him a hug which they both knew meant "I'm sorry". "It'll be hard for Rarity to love a monster" Cutting said, remembering that Rarity had been right next to him as they fell.

"About that, when Fluttershy caught Rarity she accidentally let her fall near the ground" Spike said, looking oddly happy about that news. "Rarity has mild amnesia as in she can't remember when we fell" Spike said before looking at Cutting and nodding. The nod was a blessing that Spike was fine with their relationship. Cutting smiled dumbly as he realized what this meant for his relationship with her. The slate was clean for Cutting and he could move in on Rarity without fear of being treated like a monster. Knifehead may have died but Cutting Edge lived on.
