Godzilla: Resurrection

-Bottom of the Pacific-

A massive, crocodilian tail swept back and forth as its wielder moved, bubbles of air erupting from the dinosaur's nostrils. The yellow glow of a rift, sandwiched between two tectonic plates, became visible to Godzilla, along with the black skin and tribal, pulsating markings of his kaiju foe.

The monster king's lips curled back to reveal his serrated teeth as he swam forward, not content on allowing his foe to escape into The Breach, as the kaiju portal had been dubbed.

Raiju, however, had other plans.

Propelling himself towards the rocky ocean floor, Godzilla kicked against said surface with power far exceeding any other, the force giving the kaiju the speed to effortlessly catch up to the crocodilian titaness. Claws outstretched, The Ancient grabbed Raiju's tail just as she had entered partway into The Breach and roughly yanked her back, causing a surprised shriek to escape her jaws.

With a bellow that seemed to shake the ocean, Godzilla grabbed hold of her spine like a vice, the force causing Raiju's thick armor to be pierced. In another swift motion that belied his tremendous size, the grey leviathan fished his claws between her tripartite jaws and began to pull one back.

The Category 4 kaiju struggled against his grip to the best of her ability, thrashing her body and attempting a crocodilian death-roll. A panicked scream echoed out as Godzilla began to pull back against one of her three protective jaws, the crunch of exoskeletal armor audible as the jaw shell began to crack under the strain.

Finally, with a growl, the Alpha Predator exerted enough power that the jaw piece was completely torn from Raiju's head. With the removal of her jaw, Godzilla now had to find a new foothold against the writhing crocodilian. Unable to do so as a result of said thrashing, Raiju darted away from his grasp, leaving a trail of Kaiju Blue in her wake.

Tossing aside the skull piece, Godzilla gave chase, but not before an echoing bellow was emitted from The Breach.

Swiveling his head away from his prey, The Ancient looked to see three separate kaiju emerging from the alien portal. Before Godzilla was able to react, links of what appeared to be metal sprouted from sockets laid meticulously across each kaiju's body, where they reached out to their doppelgängers and fused together.

Shrieks, all of which sounded as though they came from Tartarus, echoed out as flesh connected with flesh until one massive kaiju stood between Godzilla and The Breach. The Mega-Kaiju, comprised of Raijin, Hakuja, and Shrikethorn, glared down at the monster king with ten eyes whilst its new adversary backpedalled slightly, as to put some distance between the two. The Mega-Kaiju, a hexipedal beast with two tails that had spear-shaped ends, arm carapaces on its two arms and four digitigrade legs, flexed jaw mounted tusks as it slowly moved forward.

With a thunderous, otherworldly roar, the Mega-Kaiju moved towards his foe.

-The Badlands Shatterdome-

"Sir! Five signatures, above The Breach! Four Cat. 4's and a 5!" a Shatterdome employee shouted as said blips appeared upon the holographic map. The stallion squinted at the map for a moment and watched in confusion as two of the visible red dots disappeared. His expression morphed from confusion to horror as a new reading became visible. "No! A Cat. 4, 5, and..." He trailed off as the military leader in charge of the Jaeger Program came up behind him and dropped his gaze upon the map, leaning against the work desk.

"A Category 8," Stacker Pentecost said grimly, finishing the worker's sentence as he stood back up. "Get the Jaeger's ready. I want Gypsy Danger and Striker Eureka ready in ten!" the deep brown stallion shouted as an earth stallion and pegasus mare approached.

"What's the word?" Raleigh Becket asked his commanding officer, brows furrowing at the sudden call to arms. His co-pilot, Mako Mori, wore a synonymous look upon her face.

Pentecost looked to the two with a stern expression. "Five kaiju just morphed into three and one of them is a Category. 8," he acknowledged. "We know one is Raiju and the other... The other is Godzilla... We've yet to name the big one." With that, he turned to walk away, but not before Becket's words chased him down.

"Marshall!"

Pentecost turned to face the Jaeger pilot.

"We are talking about a Category. 8 and Godzilla. Two Jaegers are not going to cut it this time," Raleigh stated, trotting to his side.

"Sir, listen to him. We can not go into a battle we are not prepared for," Mako Mori agreed, standing in front of her father figure.

"The MechaGodzilla unit is not ready. The Neural load is too much and will kill the pilots before the kaiju even sensed them," Stacker Pentecost said firmly, but calmly, placing a hoof on Mori's shoulder. "We don't have a pilot strong enough to handle the unit."

Becket retorted with an irritated tone. "Than you've sentenced us to die," he snapped.

"Becket... Do not try my already limited patience," the stallion said, directing his view from Mako and transitioning it to a glare aimed at the pilot.

"Sir! Incoming transmission from Captain Douglas Gordon!" the previous worker called before Raleigh had the chance to argue back his point.

Pentecost looked to his subordinate for another moment before turning. "Bring it up," he ordered.

On cue, a mustached earth stallion wearing a military cap and stained brown trench coat appeared upon the primary monitor. "Marshall... Been a long time," Captain Gordon said with a nod and slight smile. "No time for greetings though, as I'm sure you are aware of the arrival of Godzilla," he stated.

"Fully... Captain, we have more pressing issues at hoof right now, though. A Category. 8 just emerged from The Breach, Godzilla's down there as well, and I don't have the means to force it back," the Marshall acknowledged. "Now then, I have that to deal with and this call is nothing more than a distraction!"

"Marshall... Celestia didn't inform you, did she? The MechaGodzilla has a pilot," Gordon smirked.

The brown earth stallion cocked a brow. "Who?"

"Her name is Rexy. She's the only one capable of piloting the unit by merit of build. She's untrained, but I'm sure you can handle that, right?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid we have three kaiju down by The Breach and we don't have the time to fit a trainee up for the situation... So what would you have us do instead?" Marshall Pentecost asked, beginning to grow impatient with the situation at hoof.

"Godzilla is down there, no? He can act as a distraction. Rexy doesn't need any training right now, she runs off of instinct in battle. I'm actually on my way over to your location now with her family, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and Princess Celestia. ETA is about twenty minutes," Gordon explained.

The earth stallion shook his head with disbelief. "Godzilla will not hold that thing off for that long. You haven't the time."

"Try me..."

-The Breach-

The Mega-Kaiju lunged forward, lowering its skull and slamming into its smaller foe, the King of the Monsters. Godzilla roared in pain as his adversary hooked its massive claws around the kaiju's waist and began to swim upward, unaffected by the barrage of kicks that he delivered upon its waist.

The Ancient lifted his hands and balled them into fists before repeatedly slamming them against the densely plated skull of his massive foe. The Mega-Kaiju bellowed in retaliation whilst curling its barb-tipped tail around and stabbing into Godzilla's thighs and shoulders, causing the water to be tinted with crimson. Godzilla roared in pain as the titan pulled its head back and jerked forward, jaw mounted tusks plunging towards the leviathan's heart.

Just before impact, Godzilla shoved the kaiju's head away. The attack missed, but the edge of the right tusk grazed the God of Destruction's shoulder and gills, drawing out a pain filled bellow from the titan.

Still struggling to escape, Godzilla became dimly aware of the fact that the duo were nearing the surface of the ocean, evident in the light surrounding their forms. His fight to free himself from the Mega-Kaiju was beginning to drain his energy. The monster king could feel the power escape his body as he fought.

In one last attempt to fend off the alien, a blue glow began to grow outwards from the core of his body, eyes and dorsal plates beginning to burn with blue lights as his scales became outlined with the same bioluminescence. Grabbing onto the Mega-Kaiju's shoulders, Godzilla's lips peeled back and his jaws shook with the raw, building energy in his body.

Not knowing what was to follow, aside from the probable negative results, the leviathan began to thrash, an attempt to escape being made.

An attempt that Godzilla was not keen on allotting.

Clenching onto the Mega-Kaiju's muscles more powerfully than previously, The Ancient allowed for the rising energy to cause the surrounding sea to boil with the intense heat, that same heat beginning to scorch his foe. After another moment of waiting, an explosion more powerful than thirty nuclear warheads rang out from Godzilla's body, eliciting an agonized screech from his foe.

In that moment, an eruption of luminescent blue exploded out from the Mega-Kaiju's body, kaiju organs being completely crushed by the destructive force. Godzilla hovered, suspended in the water as his adversary's corpse floated to the ocean's surface. Ragged flesh peeled off of the creature's body, where it sank into the ocean depths along with dismembered pieces of armor plating.

The Ancient's gills flexed noticeably as his chest moved in and out considerably. The nuclear pulse, the only surefire way for Godzilla to escape a foe, had succeeded in not only freeing himself, but killing his adversary.

The Alpha Predator watched as a red kaiju with massive sails emerged from the depths, nostrils flaring.

Titanosaurus, having been lured to the ocean's surface by the scent of blood, paused at the sight of her potential meal's executioner, a wounded, green-grey leviathan that hovered in the water, staring at her. The being, though looking more than a tad worn out, was not one that she had the desire to anger. Looking first at the completely destroyed kaiju carcass, and then the titan swimming beside it, Titanosaurus inched closer.

Godzilla bared his fangs slightly as she approached, causing her to pause in her actions. Before long, she'd reached the kaiju corpse and had begun to feed, an immensely strong digestive system eliminating the toxins in the kaiju blood.

-The Badlands Shatterdome-

Marshall Stacker Pentecost escorted Captain Gordon and Rexy through the Shatterdome, smiling slightly at the awe that came from her husband, daughter, and the princesses. "Welcome to the Badlands Shatterdome. This is where Rexy and Miss Sparkle will be staying during the course of Rexy's training. However... Rexy's fighting skills are required now," he said, stopping and turning to face the group. "We received word that a Category. 8 kaiju and Godzilla are near The Breach. The only Jaeger capable of holding them off is the MechaGodzilla."

"What? Marshall, we came to have Rexy trained and then put into a mech. Not the other way around," Princess Celestia retorted.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, respect and honor, I can't risk putting my ponies in the middle of a fray they won't return from. Rexy wields the skills necessary and so does the mech she's piloting," Pentecost acknowledged.

Not appreciating being spoken of as though she wasn't a part of the conversation, the large unicorn mare in question spoke. "Excuse me, I haven't even been told who my co-pilot will be," she barked crossly. "I don't have the slightest clue how to even get ready to pilot the MechaGodzilla, let alone actually do it."

"Rexy... You will be given a suit that your compatriots will help you into. It will allow you to connect with the unit. All of your motions will be mirrored by the robot, which means you and your partner will have to move in perfect sync. This is not really something that you can fail at, moving in sync, so I expect it shouldn't be too difficult," Captain Gordon explained to her.

"That still doesn't explain who my co-pilot is! And where the Hell even is the robot I'm piloting?!" Rexy snapped, turning a 360 to find said Jaeger.

Stacker put a hoof to her shoulder to stop her spinning and simply pointed.

Upon seeing the unit, Rexy's jaw actually dropped to reveal her sharp teeth.

The Jaeger, a gigantic, mechanical saurian, was plated with silver armor. The head, which was very box-like, was mounted to a thick neck and heavily built torso. The chest plate possessed a core that glowed the a luminescent white and above said core, MFS-6 was emblazoned upon a shoulder plate. The back and long tail were lined with batteries of geometrical metal plates with small glowing cores visible upon them. The legs and feet were built immensely strong, reminiscent of an elephant by merit of build. The eyes pulsed with a faint orange light that seemed almost like they were actually staring at her.

"Whoa," Rexy finally said, lost for speech at that time.

"Whoa, indeed," Gordon nodded. "This MechaGodzilla is unlike any other. It's Jaeger tech, but still possesses the attributes that distinguish it as MechaGodzilla, including but not limited to... an electrically charged chain-sword that emerges from the wrist joints and maser attack from the jaws," the earth stallion smirked.

What she replied with was not what Douglas was hoping for. "And you think that I can pilot that? Why not one of the smaller, more manageable ones?"

Captain Gordon gave an exasperated sigh as a response to her question. "Because, Rexy. The MechaG is the strongest Jaeger we have but you are the only one with the capabilities of piloting it," he groaned with an eye roll. "That aside, we need to get you suited up! Those Anteverse buggers won't kill themselves!" With that, he led Rexy forward.

"Well, okay!" the large unicorn hiccuped as she was half pushed, half pulled along.

"What?! Captain, she's not ready!" Twilight Sparkle spoke after shaking off her own stupor at the sight of the MechaGodzilla. "It's my job to help train her!" the purple alicorn called after them, trotting up to their side.

"Sparkle... We haven't the time for one of your little lectures right now," Marshall Stacker Pentecost retorted as he walked by her, patting her shoulder without moving his eyes away from Rexy.

Twilight's expression contorted into slight disgust. "I was assigned by Celestia to help her!" she barked.

The Equestrian ruler in question glided over to the Captain and Rexy with a firm expression. "My pupil is right to be worried, Captain. I would suggest you take her advise before this little skirmish becomes something more," Celestia said in a calm tone.

As was the case earlier, before anypony was given the opportunity to say anything else, the massive dome began to flash bright red. "The Mega-Kaiju has been killed. However, we have been made aware that Gigan was seen flying over the Neighvada Desert. Stations, everypony!" the intercom explained, the voice echoing throughout Shatterdome.

"I believe you were saying something funny?" Gordon smirked to Celestia before pushing Rexy forward. "Okay, let's get you ready."

-Ten Minutes Later

Obsidian and Midnight stood beside the closed, vault-like door, waiting in anticipation for Rexy to emerge in the Jaeger suit that would connect her to the MechaGodzilla. Gordon also waited with them, but was currently busying himself with a holographic image of a strange looking spacecraft before him.

Finally, the door handle turned and was pushed open, revealing a broken horned mare wearing a black and sky blue fighter outfit. Obsidian smiled upon seeing her exit the room and approached the mare with an impressed whistle The suit looked very reminiscent of future technology, and the pegasi's best guess was that the blue represented Godzilla's atomic breath and the black his scales. Either way, he was impressed by how nicely his spouse pulled the uniform off. "You look good!" Obsidian exclaimed, looking her over.

Rexy smiled slightly as Marshall Pentecost followed her out.

"She's suited up and ready, but her co-pilot needs to get ready as well. She's currently working on doing so and said she needed another five," Stacker explained.

"Who is she?" Gordon asked. Even he hadn't been told who was going to be piloting with Rexy and was curious to know.

"You will see," Pentecost smirked as he walked away, beckoning them to follow.

-Five Minutes Later-

Rexy walked into the cockpit of the MechaGodzilla unit, feeling a strange alienation at her surroundings. She could see through the eye sockets of the mechanical beast and could swear that she almost felt a heartbeat from the Jaeger. Looking down at the platform she was going to be mounted against, the mare shuddered at the red hot internal parts below the foot holds that smoked with the heat, looking like a giant monster ready to swallow her up. Following the rules instructed to her, the former Tyrannosaurus rex stepped onto the platform and stomped each heavily fitted boot against the grapples that were visible against the floor.

With metallic clicks, the boots were fused with the right platform, where she felt a slight pressure against her back as a mechanical arm connected to her suit's spinal plate. A mechanical whir was audible as a voice chimed over the intercom built into the cockpit.

"Alright, Rexy... Couple things you should know. One, you will be connecting through your mind with your co-pilot. Be warned, the first time doing this can be a bit rough but you can push through it, right?" Captain Gordon's voice queried.

"I... think so," she shrugged, feeling the strain against her muscles as she did so.

"Alright, get your helmet on and your co-pilot will be with you in a few seconds. She's on her way up now."

"Good luck, Mom!" she heard Midnight's voice interject, eliciting a smile from the mare.

"Love you, Babe," Obsidian joined.

"I love you guys, too," the mare said, her smile only growing as she put her helmet on. It was a tad snug, but it fit sufficiently enough that she could get used to it.

As Rexy took a deep breath with her eyes closed, she heard the heavy clomp of boots against the metallic floor. Flicking an eyelid up, she noticed none other than One Eye wearing a black and blue suit, a confidant smirk upon her face as she nonchalantly fitted herself into the floor locks.

"Wondered where I was all those years?" she asked her sister.

"A-actually, yes," Rexy spluttered in shock, turning to look at the unicorn with wide eyes.

One Eye chuckled. "Thought I'd branch out after we kissed and made up. Fortunately, Marshall Pentecost contacted me and one thing led to another... Haven't piloted this sucker before, though," she explained, eyes roving over the cockpit so that she could get a feel for it. "Also, you're going to be in my head in about five seconds, so you'll be seeing some mystical shit," One Eye said.

"Wait what?!"

Before One Eye had the opportunity to answer, Rexy found herself combing through memories tinted strongly with a blue color. She could see the memories of her time on Terra as a T-rex, unfortunately including the hurricane that resulted in her first escape and all the times she was being tested on by Jurassic Park's scientists. She could also see her arrival to Equestria and found herself falling in love with Obsidian all over again.

That was where things took a strange turn.

She was now seeing One Eye's memories. She could see a large trailer being shoved through a muddy ground during a thunderstorm, a cliff looming overhead. She saw that same night, a tyrannosaur chick being moved over to her by humans. Rexy saw everything, the heartbreak, the meeting of King Sombra and creation of Omega... Everything.

A sudden jolt through Rexy's body pulled her back to the present and elicited a gasp from the mare. She was soon aware of the fact that her vision was blurring slightly. Turning her head, Rexy could see through One Eye's helmet that she wore a dim, depressed expression.

"That memory was never my fondest," One Eye said sullenly, looking at her sister.

Before Rexy could reply, however, another voice spoke. "Alright, you two. Neural Handshake holding strong, vitals are good. Looks like you two are Drift compatible," Gordon's voice said. "Go kick some kaiju ass, alright?"
