Godzilla: Resurrection

-Canterlot-

Captain Douglas Gordon was running fast enough that Colonel Obsidia had to fly to keep up with the stressed earth stallion as he skidded around a corner, nearly colliding with a butler in the process. "Sorry!" Obsidia called to the butler as he angrily adjusted his suit after having accidentally knocked a tea kettle from a cart. The unicorn's mustache twitched as he leaned down to clean the mess, all whilst the colonel beat her wings as fast as she could to maintain a steady pace with the former MechaGodzilla and Gotengo pilot.

At long last, the dirty brown earth stallion slowed to a complete stop before a pair of large doors, his breath coming in short gasps and face bright red. "How do I look?" the stallion asked his friend as he buttoned his oil stained, well weathered trench coat.

"You would look a hell of a lot better if you'd get rid of this filthy coat and go buy a new one," Colonel Obsidia acknowledged flatly, adjusting the collar of his coat.

Captain Gordon smiled slightly before pulling his weapons from sheath and holster and handing them over to the pegasus. "Thanks... But I think I'll pass. This coat and I have a history," the military leader replied before catching Obsidia off-guard and pulling her into a lip-lock.

The mare dropped his katanas and gun in her shock before swiftly pulling away. "You sneaky bastard!" she giggled before retrieving the weapons. "Try not to end up magically forced against a wall, this time," Colonel Obsidia snickered, giving the best salute that she was able with an armful of swords and a gun.

"See ya, Sweetheart," Douglas smirked, tipping his hat before pushing open the twin doors with an effortful grunt.

Upon entering the room, Gordon was greeted with a relieved smile from Princess Celestia, a couple looks that he registered as glares, and some raised brows. "Captain... I'm glad to find that you were able to make it," Celestia said with a nod.

"Good to be here, Princess," he acknowledged before making his way to a seat. Upon doing so, the earth stallion spoke. "As I'm sure you are all aware, Godzilla has finally decided to make his grand return... Now, that wouldn't be so bad if the Breach wasn't also producing its own monsters," he started. "Raiju made landfall in Tokyo Bay, decimating its ports, planes, and ships. Godzilla arrived just long enough to force it back before falling back into the ocean."

"What are you implying, Captain?" Commander Hurricane, a reformed pegasus veteran, questioned.

Captain Gordon waited a moment for a dramatic build up before acknowledging. "Godzilla's back, which may have triggered the return of numerous other kaiju in Equestria and the rest of Equus. We can't take unnecessary risks, Commander."

Princess Celestia contemplated the thought for a moment, a hoof to her chin. "What unnecessary risks are you referring to?"

"We cannot wait until the Kaiju are on top of us like we did last time, Your Majesty. What took place with the destruction of Canterlot decades ago was an event that we could have stopped, had we been more vigilant," Gordon stated. "What I think, is that we should find and record what kaiju remain here on Equus and act. Rather than find them and ignore their presence, we need to act upon our discovery."

"A sound strategy, but who is capable of acting like you suggest?" the equine form of Queen Novo queried skeptically, cocking a brow and staring firmly at the captain.

Gordon smirked at her mistrust for a moment. "Majesty, your caution is misplaced. It was I who trapped Godzilla prior of the Final War, remember?"

"Regardless, who's to say that you can be trusted? You, if I recall, were placed under military confinement for striking a superior officer, and were only released when Zilla had invaded Manehattan," she retorted. "I understand what you are capable of and believe that you can do it, but my trust in you is still lacking all the same."

Commander Hurricane spoke again. "I trust you, Captain... With my life. But I don't think that you can do this alone."

"I completely agree, Sir. Do you recall that a few years back, we made a certain somepony an official resident of Equestria?" Douglas said, smiling behind his mustache. "She can-"

"Absolutely not," Queen Novo barked, cutting him off.

Princess Cadence, sitting beside her husband Shining Armor, nodded in agreement. "I agree with Queen Novo on this one, Captain. It was her sister, with King Sombra's help, that tried to kill me and take my kingdom for herself. "I don't trust her anymore than I do One Eye."

"Princess, she is not One Eye, though... You are a ruler of love! Show some compassion and live up to your reputation. Rexy is more than capable of the strength necessary to pilot the Gotengo, or even one of the MechaGodzillas!" Gordon retorted, making his best attempt at remaining calm in spite of the rising imbecility in the room.

"Captain," Celestia interjected. "Rexy is reckless... She is also untrained and runs purely off of instinct in stressful situations... I cannot allow it."

Gordon scoffed. "And why not? what about when that was me sitting in the cockpit. You gave me that chance to fight for my country and the ponies I love, and I was just as reckless as she... Why is Rexy any different?" the stallion chastised, cocking a brow and pointing accusingly at Celestia.

"She is not Equestrian... She is not a pony. She is a dinosaur and uses the fight or flight response in situations. She is not intellectually ready to take on a task such as this," Princess Celestia acknowledged, the urge to throw Gordon at a wall becoming apparent as he pointed.

"Then pray tell, Your Majesty... What, aside from my race, made me any different?"

The creamy white alicorn mused quietly as her subjects and several of the royal beings looked back and forth between her and the unruly earth stallion. Equestria is a place for second chances, she thought before a defeated sigh slithered from her nose. "Very well. Rexy is a strong being and, in some cases, royalty... Your request has been granted," Celestia finally said, eliciting a smile and chuckle from Gordon.

"Well, in that case," a heavily aged voice started, causing the celestial alicorn to look up and notice Starswirl the Bearded. "I think it's about time... to bring in... the Unicorn Wizard," the unicorn said with a smile before a more heavily built, but still relatively short, stallion followed him into the room.

The jagged horned, violet and pink Dimetrodon walked in with a smile and bow. "I stayed in Equestria with the vow to watch over Rexy while she enjoys life... I volunteer to help her learn to control her strengths and weaknesses so that she may be more efficient in the protection of Equus and its residents."

"Rise, Unicorn Wizard... While I appreciate the offer, you are also not Equestrian and therefore, I deny your request," Celestia stated whilst the former synapsid lifted himself up. "Is there any here who will volunteer to teach Rexy how to control her aggression and strength so that they may be beneficial to us all?" she called out, her view scanning over the rows of ponies.

She received her answer with the raise of a purple hoof. "Your Majesty," Twilight Sparkle started with a smile. "I would be honored to teach Rexy for the aid of Equestria," the teenage alicorn grinned. The thought of working with an animal long thought to be extinct still, even after almost twenty years, excited Twilight. And seeing as Rexy was the first living dinosaur she'd ever met, the mare thought it a good matchup.

And while she liked the thought, her friends were... less than enthusiastic. In unison, all six (five ponies and a dragon) of her best friends looked at her like she had three heads and spoke the same word. "What?!"

Captain Gordon chuckled at the scene before nodding. "One of the most efficient magic users in Equestria? Sounds good to me," he stated with a shrug, though the rest of the Mane Six didn't like the idea.

"It's crazy enough that it might work," Princess Cadence agreed.

With that, Princess Celestia smiled and nodded. "She is strong enough to defend herself from Rexy, should she grow too aggressive. Twilight, I grant your request, just as I have granted Gordon's."

-Tokyo Bay, Neighpon, the Night Earlier-

Godzilla bellowed into the night, trudging forward with his claws splayed as Raiju faced her adversary. Ushering a shrieking hiss, Raiju dropped to all fours and charged the leviathan, tripartite jaws unhinging to reveal her smaller head as she moved.

In response, the massive grey kaiju stopped, bending his knees slightly and threateningly peeling back his lips to expose rows of serrated teeth. The warning did not cause Raiju to yield, for she continued forward.

With another shriek, she leapt towards her foe, dodging the swinging claws and clamping her jaws down on The Ancient's thigh.

Godzilla bellowed into the night before he leaned down and fished his claws underneath Raiju's jaws. Growling in slight pain as his palms were sliced into by the serrations of her teeth, the Alpha Predator yanked at her jaws and pried her off of his leg, lifting her now thrashing body into the air by the head with bulging muscles.

Raiju hissed in slight fear as her foe grabbed her spine with one hand and heaved her over his head.

An effortful grunt carried out before Godzilla hurled her away, where she slammed into a communications tower. The building collapsed on top of her with a series of explosions before blue lights trailed up the kaiju's tail and spine, where it transitioned to his eyes and gaping jaws. As the glow reached its zenith, Godzilla inhaled before unleashing his thermonuclear ray at the rubble of the com-tower. Raiju shrieked in pain as radioactivity was poured over her body. Thick, diamond hard scales protected her from death, but not without severely burning her hide.

Erupting from the pile of debris with an agonized shriek, Raiju dove for the water as swiftly as a 3.5 thousand ton kaiju was physically able, a sprout of steam rising from the waves that she created in the process. Godzilla shifted his glare to the area in which his foe escaped from, a sneer forming upon his lips before he threw his head back with a triumphant bellow.

With that, the King of the Monsters scanned over the temporary battleground, a heavily damaged airport, before turning his back on the city and almost lazily collapsing into the ocean. The battle had been short lived, but did not go without significant damage to property or loss of life.

-Space-

The triple crested being sat in silence, tentacle-like appendages covering his chin as he was lost in thought. Raiju, one of the Precursors' many kaiju to have surfaced, had failed, being driven back by a massive, charcoal grey leviathan whose flame had rendered the heavily armored titaness defenseless. A loathsome sneer twisted across Commander Rhizon's face as he contemplated his next course of action...

Starting first, with getting rid of Godzilla...

-Redwood Residence, Ponyville, One Day Later-

Obsidian's snoring droned on with the sound of the air conditioning blowing cool air through the mobile home, much to the chagrin of his spouse, who was currently busying herself with the cleaning of dishes that she had grown to get used to as a stay at home dinosaur. Sure, she'd learned some civility over the years, but that didn't mean she liked dealing with the responsibilities of a sentient being. Normally, her species was taught how to fight, hunt, and survive and that was as complicated as things got. Growing accustomed to an Equestrian life had proven to be a challenge, as these were wired into her brain. The idea of Equestria's mothers doing housework was something that had been more than confusing to Rexy, but she had managed it just fine.

Being elbow deep in hot, soapy water whilst her 'mate' slept was a completely different story, however. Withholding an exasperated roar, Rexy grumbled to herself before she heard the telephone ring loudly in her ear. You can handle this, she thought before speaking. "Obsidian!" she hollered with a growling edge on her voice, instantly startling the pegasus from his sleep.

"Take the dinosaur, not me!" Obsidian shouted as he jerked up with wide eyes.

The broken horned mare rolled her eyes with a scoff. "Phone," she snorted, returning to the dishes.

Once his shock had worn off, the pegasus tiredly rose from the sofa with a noisy yawn, where he lifted the phone from the receiver and spoke. "Hullo?" he queried, ushering another yawn.

"This is Captain Douglas Gordon. This is an urgent matter, is Rexy home?" a deep voice asked, unaware that it was Obsidian was who had answered the phone.

Upon hearing the voice, Obsidian perked right up, his ears flicking to attention. "Captain Gordon?" he grinned.

"That has been established?" he heard.

"Captain, it's me! Obsidian!"

"Oh! Hey, Knucklehead... How're ya doing? Is Rexy home? This is about that incident involving Godzilla..."
