Memories Part 1

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Celestia remembered that day, when HE had shown up. It was one of the worst days of her life, besides banishing the creature she once called her sister. In a few years, Luna would return, she knew that, but, this was possibly something worse than an eternal night.

She would stare at the sunset, knowing that HE would awaken again, only a brief feeling, but she felt the immortal power, more powerful than hers. She was considered a goddess, which was true, however, this creature was a true God. He awoken a few moments ago, but she felt him return to his home in the depths.

She shifted in her seat, remembering the day...The day Equestria was almost destroyed by one of Discord's creations. Her jaw clenched at the mention of his name, Discord, she felt that if one mentioned his name, she could feel his fanged smile, making her frown.

She rarely got angry, but, this was an exception. The 'God of Chaos' and his daughter, Eris, were strange creatures, having magical powers that made no sense. She could feel when he would escape, sooner or later, and soon, he'd release Eris, his daughter. He always found a way to annoy her, even in his stone prison.

A shiver went don her spine, remembering the large saurian her thoughts had turned to. The massive dinosaur was powerful beyond measure, when he walked, the very ground shook, and his roar split the heavens with no problem. He was massive, and his power rivaled the Sun she moved every day.

This monster...no...that wasn't right, calling him a monster. This...God...yes, that's the word. This God was the show of a time long gone, but still was very well known once he walked through. the God was primordial, making Celestia look like a mere foal, just born, compared to him. He was two-hundred million years old, Celestia couldn't even hold a candle to that.

He, however, was not an angry God, as was his ancestors. He was a Guardian, not like Discord. He was Nature's prize, only hers alone, at least, the only one seen. He had protected the creatures of this planet for eons, paintings shown in old caves of him and other Gods.

She remembered the day she first met him...it wasn't a good first meeting to say the least.

_____________________________________

Celestia had a wonderful morning. She had her coffee, got ready with her regal dress, ate some cake, and had no problem with the nobles. The only problem was, she was having a splitting headache. Her horn felt like raw, magical power was being pushed into it, then suddenly sucked back out.

She was in Hoofishima, the year was 1945. Equestria and Japony was called in for an agreement, a treaty. This was happily agreed on, but, every Unicorn in the city felt the splitting headache she did. No one paid any mind to it, however, as a bigger disaster was heading just over the horizon

A dragon, called Junior, was called in, to help with the negotiations. He was a Radiation expert and a Paleontologist; a strange field of study for just one drake. He knew both the language of Equestria and Japony, making him the right choice, having the patience to wait centuries, without loosing his temper, and had a calm attitude all of the time.

His scales were a dark grey, his eyes toxic yellow, his spikes were as white as bones, and held an air of respect around him. He and Celestia had a wonderful discussion about Dinosaurs. He was talking about a new species he dug up, and called it a Gojirasaurus, in honor of an ancient creature in Japonies mythology.

He was a large creature, described to be a protector and knight of Nature. The way he described it, the creature was massive, and had bony, white protrusions from it's back. It's scales were as black as the night, and spewed blue fire, though was no dragon. The creature's scales were tougher than a dragons, almost all weapons would do nothing to him. He was said to be strong enough to make Celestial Animals, such as an Ursa Major, back away.

This "Gojira" was said to be the God and King of all monsters. He and his kind were called 'Kaiju', and it was told that he may return in a different form, though similar to his old form. Junior said that once he did, the lives of many would be lost, but, a brighter future will be certain.

A mare, with peach fur and a dark brown mane, whispered to Junior, making him grimace. He gave a worried glance towards the city, noticing the beauty of it, the afternoon sun making it shine.

"It was nice meeting you Celestia, but I must regret to inform you I'm needed else where; a nuclear power plant has been attacked by a strange creature, so I have to supervise the clean up crew." Junior said, bowing before leaving the room, leaving Celestia alone.

"Good to meet you too, Junior." She waved, giving a friendly smile.

Junior walked towards a plane, the mare behind him, the drake muttering to himself. Though the mare was confused, she didn't question him. He suddenly stopped, then looked off to the horizon, giving a smile.

"He's coming." Junior said, making the mare give a questionable look. "As the legends foretold, almost as if he knew this would happen." He then sighed, a little smoke went out of his nostrils. "My father told me something I would never forget, you want to hear it?"

"Of course, master." The mare said, giving a small smile, knowing the reptilian creature said many wise things.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

Celestia gave a frown, feeling the headache come on, much stronger than before, before something caught her attention. It was a small feeling, but it was growing more powerful by the second. Suddenly, a screech hit her ears, making her wince in pain, covering her ears.

She looked out, gasping; a large centipede like creature came out of the water, slamming it's body into one of the buildings, taking who knows how many lives. It gave another shriek, it's red scales shining in the sunlight.

It started to move in the city, stepping on mares, stallions, and foals alike as the city evacuated. It's jaws chomped onto many, killing them with thousands of tons of bite force. It slammed it's body into another building, smoke filling the skies. A stallion checked his watch, seeing it stop ticking.

A foal cried, it's parents had been crushed under a falling building. The monster noticed the crying foal, and descended upon her, ready to eat her, before it's antenna twitched, making it stop, and look towards the ocean.

Celestia followed the insect's eyes, then gasped, seeing three rows of spinal plates starting to rise from the water. They were emerald green in color, swimming very fast, the middle row being the largest compared to the others. The insect backed away from the foal, water flowing through the streets, stopping just in front of the little foal. Suddenly, in a flurry of black and white taking her away from the battle.

"NGNGNGNGNGNNNNNNNNN!" A large rumble was heard, the growling appearing from the creature with the spinal plates.

The insect shrieked, seeing the newest monster, glaring at it. The water finally parted, showing a creature that made Celestia's eyes widen in fear and awe. It stood to be over 300 feet tall, bright purple scales covering it's body like natural armor. It's spinal plates were like maple leaves, jagged and jutting up, the sound of rumbling was heard again.

This new monster towered over the other, it's arms, kind of short, but reminded her of a primate's, held four clawed finger, strong enough to rip obsidian like it was nothing. It's neck held gills, but it was warm blooded, like all the giant creatures from it's era. Powerful jaws, bear like, held the biggest teeth that anypony had ever seen.

The creature's tail whipped around behind it, large, crocodilian looking. The plates ended at the tip of it's massive tail, legs, thick like tree trunks, stepped, cracking the ground under it. Ponies gasped in fear, before an old stallion smiled silently, before uttering one word.

"Gojira."

It's eyes, emerald green in color, glared all of it's hate towards the insect, the portals of it's vision showed eons of knowlege, making Celestia feel like a foal compared to it. It looked at the ponies, it's gaze softening, seeing the peaceful creatures. It then did something that made them confused; it smiled. It made a movement with it's massive head, almost as if permitting the ponies to leave the area.

The ponies took what the creature had allowed them to do; run away, as fast and as far as they could. The ponies who survived the attack would remember this, telling their children of the saurian that had spared them. This...God...was one full of mercy.

The saurian gave a snarl, seeing the insect shriek loudly. It inhaled, it's lips curling back, the air around the two giant monsters grew silent. The saurian's chest puffed out massively, making the insect back away a little. The God thrust it's head forward, opening it's maw to release a noise that would split the heavens and shake the earth itself.

"SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGNGNGNGNGNGNNNNNNNN!"
