Confrontation (Part 2)

“WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THAT’S RIGHT!! GODZILLA SHOWED THAT BIG UGLY BUG WHO’S BOSS!” Rainbow exclaimed excitedly. Twilight turned around to see a battered Princess Celestia and Princess Luna approaching the group.

“My Faust, what happened?!” Twilight exclaimed.

“The winged beast managed to get the upperhand and give us a sound beating before pursuing Godzilla.” Luna replied.

“Fortunately, we sustained nothing more than several large bruises. We were very lucky.” Celestia added. She immediately took notice of the missile in the Main 6’s grasp.

“You recovered the missile?” Celestia asked.

“Yes, we did. We also found the MUTOs’ nest. We discovered that the missile was going to become a food source for their hatchlings. But thanks to Fluttershy, the nest was destroyed.” Twilight answered.

“Thou were very brave to do such a thing.” Luna said, nodding to Fluttershy.

“I don’t mean to rush things, but we still have a highly explosive and possibly armed missile in our possession.” Rarity stated.

“Rarity’s right. We need to get rid of this missile immediately!” Twilight said.

“Follow us, we know a shortcut to the beach. We’ll drop the missile in the bottom of the ocean where nopony could find it.” Celestia said, leading the group away from the center of the city.

Godzilla snarled as he glared at the unconscious MUTO. He’s been fighting these multi-limbed bastards for hours. It was time to finish them off. Godzilla stomped towards the downed MUTO, lashing out his tail with fury. Before he could reach her, the male MUTO suddenly grabbed Godzilla and dragged him backwards. Godzilla roared furiously as he swung his claws at the MUTO, the latter flying out of range every time he attacked. The male MUTO dived at Godzilla again, grabbing hold of the saurian’s snout while slashing at it with his hooked forearms. Godzilla managed to clamp his jaws on the MUTO’s right forearm, swinging the beast into several buildings.

“KREEEEEEERRRRRRKK!” The male MUTO screeched, finding himself spiraling out of control. He finally managed to balance himself and shrieked, soaring straight towards Godzilla. The colossal saurian tensed up, waiting for his enemy to get close. Godzilla had an idea, but if he was going to pull it off, he had to time it just right.

“KREEEEE-“

Godzilla swung his tail right as the male MUTO got into striking distance, smashing him into a huge skyscraper. The immense force of the impact with the building was enough to impale the MUTO’s body with several massive razor-sharp fragments of glass and stone. Fatally wounded from the blow, the MUTO weakly uttered a dying groan before finally going limp. Godzilla growled to himself as he turned to walk off.

CRAAAAACK!

Godzilla turned around just as the skyscraper fell on top of him. Godzilla uttered a agonizing roar as the building collapsed on top of him.

The defeaning rumble of tumbling buildings caught the group’s attention, drawing them to turn around to watch the ensuing destruction. Fluttershy caught sight of the building collapsing on top of Godzilla and nearly shrieked.

“No! We have to go back for Godzilla! He needs help!” Fluttershy exclaimed, running off. But she was quickly stopped by Applejack.

“Fluttershy, it’s too dangerous to go back now! We gotta stick together!” Applejack shouted.

“But...”

“Sugarcube, listen to me. Godzilla is strong. He fought off three dragons to save yer life, got shot at multiple times, and he even survived gettin’ blown up by a giant missile for Celestia’s sake. He’s gonna be fine. That critter’s tougher than you know, alright?” Applejack said. Fluttershy quietly nodded her head.

“Guys, the big MUTO’s up! And she’s really angry!” Rainbow exclaimed. Turning around, the group yelped as the female MUTO roared and charged at them. The two diarchs and the Main 6 made a run for it, heading for the Manehattan docks. The group suddenly skidded to a halt, gasping at the realization the bridge to the docks was blocked off, creating a dead end.

“Sweet Celestia, what are we going to do?!” Rarity exclaimed. Everypony turned to face the enraged kaiju, who now loomed over them.

“Ewww! Her breath really reeks!” Pinkie exclaimed, holding her nose. The female MUTO snarled and lowered her head, opening her jaws to devour the equines.

“I can’t believe this is how we’re gonna die! This bites...” Rainbow exclaimed. Everypony closed their eyes as they prepared to brace themselves. After a few long moments, Twilight slowly opened her eyes.

Why aren’t we dead?

Everypony else opened their eyes with confusion. The MUTO had just... stopped. Fluttershy looked up at the MUTO, a smile suddenly creeping up on her face. Godzilla had clamped his jaws on the MUTO’s neck, snarling as he pulled her back from the equines. The female MUTO groaned as she tried to break free, only to have Godzilla increase his deathly grip on her. He turned the MUTO around so she was able to face him, grabbing a hold of her jaws. The MUTO began smacking his face out of desperation, but it was not enough to deter the saurian as he forcibly pried the beast’s jaws open. Godzilla charged up his dorsal plates, steam escaping his nostrils as he opened his jaws. With a roar, Godzilla shot a atomic blast down the female MUTO’s throat. The sheer force of the atomic breath caused the MUTO to violently explode from the inside. With a jerk, Godzilla ripped the MUTO’s head off, watching the beast’s flaming body falter to the ground. Godzilla growled, lifting his head to the sky and letting forth a earth-shattering roar of triumph at the heavens. Everypony cheered in victory, wrapping one another in a hug.

“What did Ah tell ya, Flutters? Big G’s tougher than you know.” Applejack said. Fluttershy looked up at Godzilla, giving him a wide smile. Godzilla simply nodded at her and tossed the severed head into the water, heading towards the beach. Now his only desire was to take a good nap.
