A metal beast in Equestria.
Magic meets technology
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe room was in complete silence. All six ponies were hurled all together as they gazed upon the metal monster that was right in front of them. Mechagodzilla did his best to show that he was not a threat and just wanted them to listen, but they were to scared to even let him go near him. So decided to let them calm down before anyone can say anyone. Finally, what felt like an entirety, Applejack broke they ice.
"Tw-Tw-Tw-Twi! What is that?!" Applejack said.
"I don't know Applejack!" Twilight said, "It seems to be like some sort of dragon without wings, but made out of pure metal. I've never seen anything like this. Fluttershy, do you have any ideas about what it is?"
"S-S-S-S-Sorry Twilight." Fluttershy said in a scared tone, "I know just about every creature here, but not this."
"Well what ever he is, I'll take him down id he hurts any of girls." Rainbow said in a brave tone.
"There will be no need for violence, not now anyway." Mechagodzilla said, "I come in peace and wish you no harm to you or this planet. I just need help."
"Help with what?" Rainbow asked, "Rule Equestria? Ha! Fat chance buddy."
"Equestria?" Mechagodzilla said, "So that's the name of the planet I'm on. And no, I ask of you to help me return home and reunite with my family again."
After hearing that word, 'family, the ponies became less scared and now realized he was lost after all. The ponies looked at each other with concerned looks in order to agree to help the beast or still be afraid of him. They all looked at Mechagodzilla's face, even thou it was sort of blank and what looked like red tears across his face, he look sad and desperate for his lost family he needs to go back the to. The six ponies looked at each other again before giving a nod to each other and stepped forth to the metal beast. Each being within the room l all looked at each as they with still vigilante about the new comer.
"All right, we'll hear you out." Twilight said being the closest to him, "But first, I believe introductions should be in order. I'm-"
"Princess Twilight Sparkle, I know." Mechagodzilla interrupted, "I scanned your DNA while being the so called classroom 6 mins ago."
"But how did you..." Twilight tired to speak, but Mechagodzilla turned on his cloak on and off again to demonstrate how he got in the school without anyone noticing. The ponies gasped as the metal showed off one of his any talents. Get ready Mechagodzilla, you have alot of explaining to do.
"Well any way, let me introduce you to my friends. This is Rarity, Pinkie pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow dash." Each pony then gave their own hellos.
"Hey." Rainbow dash.
"Howdy partner." Applejack.
"Hello darling." Rarity.
"Hello." Fluttershy.
Even thou they had their introduction, Mechagodzilla still wanted scanned their DNA to learn about, but he thought if they want to be allies, he can't go through their personal business without their permission. He thought it was better to get to know them personalty without technology. So he shut down his scanner before he could learn more.
"Now that we introduced our-self's." Twilight said, "It's your turn."
"I'm Mechagodzilla, but some of my friends call me Kiryu.. As you the you said before, I'm not from this planet, I come from the planet Earth, where my family is currently located."
"Other planet?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Ha! I was right! He is an alien!"
"Alien?" Mechagodzilla questioned, "Where did you that idea? I'm known as a machine or robot in sort terms. I'm a cybernetic being that is sometimes resembles a living organism, but I'm not one. I'm flesh and bone like other organisms, but rather wires and my battery supply is unlimited thanks to my, quote on quote "heart", being powered by a nuclear reactor, powerful and destructive energy that flows within me."
"OK. Alien was not my best guess." Pinkie said, "Sorry." She gave a wide smile at the end.
"This whole you being a robot thing is really awesome." Rainbow said, "But bet your not as cool as me." She gave a pound on her chest to show her confidence. Mechagodzilla could only smile if he could. Some of these ponies remind him of his family back home.
"Cocky, but loyal till the end. Rodan would like you the most."
"Rodan?" Fluttershy asked, "Is he one of your friends back home?"
"Indeed miss Fluttershy." Mechagodzilla answered, "Like Rainbow dash, he is flyer and good one to. He mostly spends his days flying through the sky and excellent at dive bombs during our battles."
"Battles?" Applejack spoke up, "You fight all the time where you come from?"
Mechagodzilla wanted to answer her at first, until him remembered all the battles he and his family went through, mostly with humans, aliens, and other monsters who threaten his home. He took a mins to look to the ground and crossed his arms, remembering the harsh wars he got himself into. Some of his allies got mostly injured and blamed himself that he did not do his best to protect no only himself, but the one he loved the most, especially Godzilla who helped him free himself from the human's control and the family that made him feel like another living being instead of a weapon. After a minute, he gathered his strength to finally speak his answer to Applejack.
"I'm afraid so Applejack." Mechgodzilla said, "Me and family face great wars with multiple being from different worlds. We win most of them, but some battles came at a great cost." The ponies felt sad and heartbroken that Mechagodzilla had to suffer the harshness of wars, along with a family to protect. They felt as if they had something in common(in a way), as the elements of harmony, they do their best to protect Equestria and help those who need to learn friendship and it's magic. They've had great enemies in past and always came out on top. Now that they have new threats to deal with, they must make sacrifices no matter what.
"I know it's none of our business or anything, but can you tell us more about your past and how you became like this?" Twilight said, "Maybe even tell us more about your family, the battles you faced, and even tell us more about your enemies you've fought. We promise to keep anything personal a secret. After you, maybe we can tell you more about ourselves and some things about Equestria."
Mechagodzilla took a minute to think. Just moments ago, they were frightened to the bone when they saw him the first time, and now they want to learn more about him, it felt as if they had a connection with him as if they known him for years. Mechagodzilla thought it was not a good idea at first, concerting all the pain he went through and how the humans took his humanity away from him, he felt as if they could not take it, but at the same time. He knew that if they were to be allies and help get back home, he must tell him his story and the mistakes he made then rewrote in order to protect the earth. His decision was finally, he would tell them everything, and in return learn more about Equestria and it's history.
"Alright, gather around. For I have a tale to tell, there will be good part and there will be bad parts during our war. If you promise that you can take it."
"Don't worry MG." Pinkie said, "Your secrets are safe with us." Mechagodzilla gave her a confused look as she said the name she gave him.
"MG?" He questioned.
"Yeah, you know? As a nickname." Pinkie explained. Mechagodzilla shrugged off the confusion and focused on the task at hand.
"Gather around ponies." He said, "Let's begin my tale from the beginning."
"Wait!" Twilight shouted as he went out of the room in blazing speed and cam back with huge stacks of paper and pencils to write everything down. "Alright, now I'm ready." Mechagodzilla could roll his eyes if could, but ignored it and begin to show and tell his story.
He began by stating that he was once a living being known as a dinosaur, creature that rule his planet for more then millions of years, until an great asteroid crashed down and wiped them and his race off the face of the planet and became nothing but bone and skeletons. Beyond centuries later, in year 1954, more than 65 years ago, he awoke to the sound of an explosion an his entire body had chance. He was bigger, faster, and became even stronger than before. He ended up on an island where he had his first encounter with humans and how they were terrified by him, they worship him as if he was a king or god so their fear and respect of him showed that they begged for mercy and to leave them alone. They even gave him a name, Godzilla or in Japanese Gojira.
Mechagodzilla explained that humans were they dominant species from his home after he and rest dinosaurs went extinct. He said they stood on two legs like bears or apes when threatened, but had no hair except on their head, and that they were intelligent enough to create weapons, civilizations, and other impossible things. He soon found out that they were the one who disturbed his slumber and thous, he attacked their city of Tokyo and left nothing in his wake. His rage continued as the humans tried to fight back, but nothing work due to his mutation to the nuclear energy. As he was done, he began a take a long rest in the ocean, until a human scientist with an weapon known as the oxygen destroyer killed him along with the human that sat right next to him and became nothing but an skeleton.
Decades later, he was reborn, but in a different body. He explained that the humans managed to get his skeleton remains inside his new metal shell. He could not control his body unfortunately and had to be controlled by an human pilot manually. He remembered the first his first battle with the new Godzilla that appeared from nuclear radiation years later after he died. He told the ponies that he almost won the battle, until his opposite let out a roaring cry and triggered his memories when he was alive. At that point, he soon realized that the reason he was like this was because of the humans that killed him years ago. They did not bring him to life in the good way, but to use him as a weapon as he once was and thought he was nothing but mindless machine with no feelings or emotions, just an ghost in a metal shell. He managed to break their control and became one Godzilla's allies and was even welcomed to stay at monster.
At first, they thought he was just a weapon to kill Godzilla and themselves and did not trust him at first because of him being a machine. Over the time of his life, he fought along side with Godzilla and other monsters to protect the earth from all kinds of enemies. He fought a cyborg monster with sword hands, a monster made from pollution, and even their arc rival, a three headed space dragon that shot lighting like beams from his mouths. He told the ponies the battle he and his leader Godzilla had with the three headed dragon known as King Ghidorah, the battle was intense and the king of terror was a worthy challenger, but lost the fight and took off.
After the battle, another robot named Jet Jaguar taught him how to improve his body and gave him a few upgrades along the way. He taught him how to change his power source to nuclear energy so that way he can move freely as he wished. One by one, he told the ponies about his allies and what they were capable of. It took many years, but every monster treated Mechagodzilla like family and found the right place to call home and family he always wanted. Before he could end his tale, he told them how to got here by the humans attempt to get rid of Godzilla and his allies, but he took the shot and now here they were.
The six ponies in room had mixed feeling to Mechagodzilla's story. They were happy that he finally found great friends and family, but at the same time sad and displeased. During his story, he said that most of his battle were with the humans because they were the ones who made him like this from the beginning to end, first a monster of pure destruction and then his remains inside an metal body and took his humanity along with the thought of them thinking he was just a weapon and not a living. They were also impressed with his feats by taking on several monster at once, his advanced weaponry, and the many time he protected the earth alone or with his allies so many time was his greatest feat of all. As for the other monster, exceptionally Godzilla, the ponies liked how much they meant to him, despite being enemies at first.
Twilight wrote down literally everything in his tale and Mechagodzilla was surprised to see how much information she wrote down as he told his story. As a part of their deal, Twilight explained Mechagodzilla about Equestria and it's history. She also explained how she met her friends, became the elements of harmony, the enemies they defeated, and how they changed Equestria because for their friendship. She told Mechagodzilla about how magic works and how it's the only power source they have. Mechagodzilla thought that their magic was almost like his technology. He was also impressed on how magic got Twilight and her friends through the toughest time, just like Mechagodzilla and his allies.
"And that is how we chanced the world of Equestria and all of it's glory 'and' the magic of friendship carries on as we speak." Twilight finished. Mechagodzilla stood there with an blank/shocked face.
"Amazing." Mechagodzilla said, "I'm indeed impressed by your feat and how you managed to complete every obstacle in your way. You six are surely something else."
"Not as impressive as your." Rainbow dash said, "You kick monster butt for a living! True we may have done the same thing, but you? You made it sound easy! You are awesome! I really like Rodan, he sounds like a challenger for a race."
"Really like Mothra as you said in your story." Fluttershy said, "She sounded so wise and careful, just like me. Well, beside the fighting of course."
"Anguirus sounded like a strong feller." Applejack said, "He may not have won a battle on his own, but still sounds like he can hold up his own."
"This Godzilla you spoke of sounds like a really strong beast." Rarity said, "Surely no pony or monster would want to challenge him."
"That was the best story I've ever heard!" Pinkie shouted, "It had drama, action, and so much entertaining fights! Maybe I should get a party started for MG. But what should I call it? How about, 'welcome Mechagozilla to Equestria party! But I don't now what to get! *deep breath* What flavor you like? Do you eat? You probably don't because your robot. But still! Can you tell more stories? Please? Please? Please? With an chocolate ice cream with wires and whip cream on top?" She still could have gone on if Twilight did not stop her in her tracks.
"Sorry Pinkie, but I think we have other things to do besides a party." Twilight said, "We do that later. But right now, we need to have a plan of some sort."
"You are correct Ms Sparkle." Mechagodzilla said, "Do you know anyone with any information on how we can fix this?"
"I can try asking Princess Celestia." Twilight said, "She might have the answers your looking for. I'll start right away." As so, she gathered a paper and pencil and wrote what she need to right. As she was done, she sent the letter to Celestia and wait for her response. Just then, two figures came through the door, a unicorn with a pink coat, a curly purple mane and tail with blue streaks, and a glimmer like mark and it's flank. The other creature was the tiny dragon Mechagodzilla saw in the classroom moments ago.
"Hey Twilight," the unicorn said, "the students are getting nervous and wanted to know how long you'll be gone-" She stopped at mid sentence as she and Spike saw Mechagodzilla in the same room. Twilight smiled as she walked over to her friends
"Starlight, Spike, there's somepony here we want you to meet."
Back at the Canterlot castle, Celectia and Luna were on their thrones as they waited for Twilight to respond to her letter. In a matter of minutes, a piece of paper appeared in front of Celestia.
"What does the letter saw sister?" Luna asked. Celestia looked back at the paper and started to read.
Dear Princess Celestia, I'm here to inform you that we found the source of the energy disturbance you felt this morning. But this disturbance wasn't something, but rather somepony. His name is Mechegodzilla or Kiryu and said he was from another world called Earth and ended up in Equestria. He is very nice and polite, he told us about his past and the world he came from along with telling us about his friends and family. He wants us to help him find a way back home and I hoped you may have the answers to helping him. I shall wait for your response to know what to do with Mechagodzilla. From, Twilight Sparkle.
"So they found it?" Luna asked again.
"Not something, somepony. Twilight said is a living being and that he told her and the other elements about his past. She said he wants to find away back home and thinks I may have the answers to them."
"What shall we do then sister?" Luna asked.
"I will respond to Twilight and tell her to bring this 'Mechagodzilla' here and meet me in person." And thous she wrote and sent the letter and will wait to meet the new comer in person.
