The King returns

Manehattan was one of the largest cities ever built in Equestria. Manehattan was littered with skyscrapers standing almost as tall as Celestia’s castle and a surplus population of two million ponies. About three ago, Princess Celestia had successfully ordered a evacuation of the city in hopes they would flee before the MUTO arrives. Manehattan was a brilliant city now, but in just a few moments it will become a kaiju battleground.

Flying over the great city, the winged MUTO uttered a series of chilling clicks that reverberated off the glass windows of several buildings. It landed on a tall flat-roofed skyscraper with little care, dropping it’s precious cargo on the cement.

“KREEEERRK! KREEEERK! KREEEEERRRRGH!” The MUTO shrieked. Its screech may have sounded like a standard growl or roar, but it was no ordinary sound.

This was a male MUTO’s mating call.

The MUTO stood silently, awaiting a response. If his mate was anywhere nearby, she’d hear his call.

“KREEEEEEERRRKKK”

The MUTO turned his head to the faint sound. It was a response to his call. His mate was definitely close by. The male picked up the missile and flew down, landing before a cloud of dust that covered half of the city. Clearly, something already demolished this side of Manehattan. The male MUTO called out to his mate, watching as the much larger wingless female MUTO steadily approached him. The two beasts affectionately nuzzled each other before the male handed the missile to the female. The female chirped as she crawled back into a massive hole in the streets that led to her nest.

The train arrived at the Manehattan station, skidding to a complete stop. The doors popped open, allowing the Main 6 to depart.

“Guys, look over there!” Rainbow exclaimed, pointing to the mountain of smoke fuming over several buildings.

“Ah highly suggest we get goin’ before that dust cloud starts gettin’ bigger!” Applejack stated.

“I don’t know, what if all that dust gets in my mane? I just groomed it this morning.” Rarity said. She yelped when Rainbow dragged the white unicorn by her hoof towards the city.

“Don’t be such a wuss!” Rainbow said with a smile. Before long, the Main 6 arrived at the heart of Manehatten. It was worse than what they imagined. Buildings were decimated, the streets were torn asunder, the mangled remains of chariots were strewn all over the ground. It looked like a meteor had crash-landed in this side of the city and wiped it out. Suddenly, the male MUTO flew into sight, perching on a half-torn building. As soon as the winged beast took notice of the multi-colored equines, he let out a piercing shriek and dived towards them.

“LOOK OUT!!!” Twilight yelled. The group jumped out of the way as the male swiped his hooked arms at them in annoyance. Rainbow took to the air, a smirk on her face as she bolted towards the kaiju.

“I got this!” Rainbow said, shooting through the sky as she zoomed straight towards the MUTO. She swung her hind hooves and bucked the MUTO in the face, causing him to roar in irritation. The MUTO snapped his jaws at Rainbow as he chased her in mid-air, catching up to the pegasus with every wingbeat.

“Yipe!” Rainbow yelped as she dodged another snap from the MUTO. “This guy’s fast for a giant monster!”

Suddenly, a stream of golden magic blasted the MUTO near his torso, sending him flying into a building. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had finally entered the battlefield, repeatedly firing concentrated beams of magic at the MUTO. The MUTO roared furiously as he got himself airborne, soaring towards the diarchs with hooked claws at the ready. the two alicorns dodged a furious set of claw swipes while relentlessly shooting at the kaiju.

“This vile beast is harder to slay than I imagined.” Luna stated.

“Keep attacking it! We’ll eventually exploit it’s weak spot!” Celestia exclaimed, leading the male MUTO away from the others.

With Luna and Celestia holding off the male MUTO, Twilight and the others had to worry about the female MUTO guarding the nest. The multi-limbed behemoth climbed out of her nest to face the invaders, snarling angrily. Twilight activated her horn’s magic, standing firm in place.

“We are going to make our stand here! The fate of Equestria is in our hands!” Twilight yelled. The female MUTO lowered her head and roared, opening her wicked jaws to devour the equines. Unexpectedly, she immediately stopped mid-attack and turned her gaze skywards.

“What in the hay is she looking at? We’re right he-“

“SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGK!!!”

Upon hearing that ungodly earth-shaking roar, Fluttershy’s eyes widened with surprise. She followed the female MUTO’s gaze, gasping in shock at the sight before her. Godzilla rose out of the ocean, towering over the tallest skyscraper in the city. The kaiju had somehow managed to reach adulthood and was now dwarfing everything with his monstrous size. Twilight and the others couldn’t help but shout with overwhelming joy. Fluttershy herself barely held back her excitement, tears of joy running down her face as Godzilla entered the battlefield. Godzilla uttered another roar, switching from walking to running as he charged the female MUTO, whom proceeded to do the same.
