Confrontation (Part 1)

Godzilla collided into the female MUTO, clamping his jaws onto her shoulder as he shoved her back. Both titans tried to push each other away, though the MUTO quickly found herself sliding backwards. With a roar, Godzilla pushed back the MUTO, throwing her onto the ground. He lifted his clawed sauropod-like feet and stomped the MUTO in her face, repeating the assault over and over relentlessly. The MUTO flung her arms around, desperate to strike a lucky blow at Godzilla.

And she actually did.

Striking the colossal saurian in the face, the MUTO managed to daze him long enough to knock him off her. Roaring angrily, the MUTO rammed Godzilla in the gut and smashed him into a building, toppling it over on him. Godzilla threw off the rubble and stood back up, charging the female like a enraged bull. Godzilla grabbed hold of the MUTO and chomped down on the MUTO’s neck with force. The old wound inflicted by Godzilla’s mother had reopened thanks to Godzilla, giving the multi-limbed behemoth a terrible stinging sensation. The MUTO began screeching out in pain as she struggled to break free. Godzilla ripped into the behemoth’s neck further, earning a gushing river of blue-green blood to flow out. With a mighty heave, Godzilla picked up the MUTO and launched her into a toppled building. Chunks of debris flew everywhere, some pieces had stabbed into the MUTO like tiny knives. Godzilla had begun to advance towards the momentarily disoriented female MUTO when the male grabbed hold of the saurian by the neck and pulled him back, throwing Godzilla on the ground. Godzilla roared and stood up, only for the male MUTO to knock him down again.

While Godzilla fought off the MUTOs, Twilight and the others ventured into the now unprotected MUTO nest. She led the group down a makeshift set of steps, reaching the bottom of the artificial cavern in no time. Inside of the cavernous den, debris was strewn all over with out care. In addition to the wretched stench, there was a ungodly amount of mucus and saliva dripping from pretty much everywhere the equines can see.

“My goodness, it’s absolutely repulsive in here! How could any creature have such degrading tastes in lifestyle?!” Rarity bursted out in disgust, trying her hardest not to add her vomit to the disgusting decor.

“That’s nature for ya, sugarcube.” Applejack retorted, ducking under a overhang of slime. Upon approaching the heart of the lair, the Main 6 gasped at what they saw: Thousands upon thousands of tiny pulsating amber-orange eggs glued to the walls like oozing, slime-covered sticky notes. The majority of the clutch was plastered to a giant spiral of rock standing in the dead-center of the den.

“This must be the MUTOs’ nest.” Twilight observed.

“Look at all those eggs. I bet they don’t taste very good, though.” Pinkie said. Twilight noticed something lying near the spiral that gave off a unnatural shine. She trotted over to the object, swiping away a clump of slime.

“Girls, it’s the missile!” Twilight exclaimed. Suddenly, the den trembled violently as chunks of rock dropped from the roof. Twilight and the others looked up with worried expressions.

“That came from outside.” Applejack stated.

“Oh dear.... I truly hope Godzilla is alright...” Rarity said.

“SKREEEEEEEEEOOOOOONNNNNNGGGK!” Godzilla roared as he snapped his jaws at the male MUTO in agitation. The winged beast flew out of range, diving at the saurian and striking him with his hooked claws. Godzilla managed to bite down on the male MUTO’s left leg and made a attempt to drag him down. The effort failed when the female MUTO rammed Godzilla a second time, sinking her fangs into his upper flank. Godzilla screeched as he was shoved onto the ground with both MUTOs relentlessly bombarding him with attack after attack. Godzilla shoved the two beasts aside long enough to get up, snarling with fury. He charged at the female MUTO, grappling her with his clawed hands and throwing her onto the ground. The female swung her arm and struck his gills, forcing the saurian to back off. The male MUTO grabbed hold of Godzilla, biting his neck while stabbing his hooks into the saurian’s gills even more. Godzilla screeched even louder, feeling trails of crimson leaking out from newly opened wounds. The female MUTO joined in the assault, stabbing Godzilla in the torso and back while she clamped her jaws on the reptile’s throat. The two beasts threw the colossal reptile on the ground once again and began hammering Godzilla like there was no tomorrow.

Twilight wrapped the missile in a light-purple aura, levitating it over her head.

“We can’t let this missile stay here with all these eggs. The adult MUTOs clearly intended their offspring to consume the radiation stored in the missile. Alright, let’s go.” Twilight said. She and the others trotted back towards the entrance they came from with the highly dangerous weapon in tow. Fluttershy turned around, looking back at the clutch. She realized if the nest wasn’t destroyed, Equestria would be plagued with hundreds, if not thousands of MUTOs. She suddenly felt a pang of guilt splash over her. How could she even think of hurting cute and innocent creatures?

But, then again.... MUTOs weren’t cute. And they definitely aren’t innocent.

“Pinkie, do you still have your matches?” Fluttershy asked.

“Sure, I do. After all, I can’t light my party cannons with cotton balls!” Pinkie replied, taking out a match. “Wait, why do you need a match again?”

“As horrible as it may sound, we can’t let these eggs hatch.... I’m going to destroy the nest.” Fluttershy replied. Twilight looked at the Element of Kindness, nodding her head in agreement while smiling.

“Fluttershy, I hope you realize you’ve made the most bravest decision anyone could make. Do what you need to do.” Twilight said. Fluttershy returned the smile before turning to the eggs.

“Hey, I can make great descisions too!” Rainbow exclaimed. Twilight rolled her eyes in a playful manner.

“Okay, I never seen anypony, besides Rainbow Dash, make good quick-thinking decisions.” Twilight repeated with a laugh. She turned her gaze back to Fluttershy.

“Be careful, Fluttershy.” Twilight said. She and the others ran out of the den, leaving Fluttershy to destroy it. She found a large container of oil and popped the hood open, letting the black flammable liquid spill. She lit the match, stealing one last glance at the eggs.

“I’m so sorry....” Fluttershy whispered. She dropped the flaming match inside the oil spill and ran out of the den as quickly as possible.

The MUTOs relentlessly bombarded Godzilla with blow after blow, screeching with glee at his agony. The female MUTO raised her hooked arm to strike Godzilla once more, only to have the defeaning roar of an explosion force her to halt. She quickly whipped around, a expression of horror on her ugly bug-like face upon seeing her nest on fire. The two MUTOs completely forgot about Godzilla as they rushed to their nest to investigate what had happened. They could clearly see that their den was reduced to nothing but dust and charred remains. The female MUTO began digging into her former nest, screeching in horror at the ungodly amount of devastation present. Every single egg inside was burnt to a crisp. Nothing survived the explosion. The would-be mother loudly cried out for her fallen children even though she still attempted to uproot any surviving eggs. Twilight and the others quietly snuck away from the nest, deliberately walking slowly to avoid making any noise.

“If we’re quiet and sneak past her, we’ll be just fine...” Twilight whispered. Pinkie instantly tripped on her hooves and fell over, landing on a pouch she had been carrying. It made a incredibly loud squeaking noise that caught the female MUTO’s attention.

“PINKIE!!!” Everypony screamed.

“Oh, look! My... Uh, my rubber ducky... I forgoy it was in there! Heheheh.... Whoops....” Pinkie sheepishly said, taking out a rubber duck. The female MUTO towered over the equines, snarling with rage. She uttered a furious roar, preparing to stomp the Main 6 into mush. But her roar was suddenly drowned out by the loud whirring crescendo of nuclear energy charging up behind her. Everyone turned to see Godzilla rise up from the floor, his dorsal plates suddenly flickering to life with a bright light-blue color. The female MUTO had suddenly began backing off from the saurian as Godzilla puffed out his chest.

The female MUTO knew exactly what was about to happen.

Godzilla opened his jaws and fired a enormous torrent of blue nuclear flame at the MUTO, sending her sprawling into a building. The MUTO shrieked in agony as the nuclear fire burned through her chest, nearly incinerating it. Everypony stood there, slack-jawed and amazed at the amount of raw power Godzilla was unleashing. Godzilla fired a second atomic blast at the MUTO, pushing the behemoth further back into the building.
