Spitfire and Doctor K quickly moved the anti-magic cannon onto the roof of the Marenobyl power plant, a long cable connecting the exotic weapon to the gigantic spell matrix that produced power for the entire region. The station’s chief engineer, a unicorn stallion named Control Rod looked on nervously. “Thank goodness you’re here.” He gulped as he looked on in the distance, seeing Trixie having her way with the hapless ponies on the highway. "We were afraid she was going to come for us. I can only imagine what would happen if she were to absorb the core spell matrix into herself.”

“I don’t get it...” Lily glanced up from watching Doctor K work to address the chief engineer. “Why don’t you just shut the entire station down and deny Trixie that energy?”

Control Rod shook his head. “It doesn’t work like that. A spell matrix of this magnitude contains literally millions of individual spells, all kept in balance so they produce more energy than they consume. Trying to shut it down is like playing the world’s most dangerous game of Jenga. Remove one spell too early, and the entire matrix could go up in smoke, flooding the air with supercharged magical particles.”

“Well, can’t we drain the matrix into the anti-magic cannon?” Lily asked.

“Not if you don’t want it to explode, we don’t.” Doctor K adjusted the cannon’s sight to account for the several dozen miles of distance. “A shot from this thing is only going to use up a small fraction of the reactor's energy.” He looked through the scope just in time to see Trixie orgasm, her moans of pleasure audible to them even at such an extreme distance. Doctor K couldn’t help but become slightly aroused at the sight of Trixie toying with the helpless ponies.

"Okay... it’s aimed right for her! Is it ready to fire?" Spitfire said with a sense of urgency. “You’ve made all the adjustments, right!? We need to blast her before she absorbs anypony else!”

"Oh! Yes… Just… Almost... There…" Doctor K grit his teeth as the weapon charged up, glowing with a dark red energy. “Done. It’s all yours, captain.”

Spitfire took a hold of of the cannon and got ready to aim, though Trixie was so massive she imagined even Lily's shaking hands would be able to hit Trixie with no difficulty. “Steady… Steady...” She sweated, her finger squeezing on the trigger, releasing a massive burst of red energy from the cannon.

But as the beam streaked towards Trixie, a shadow fell over the ruined industrial district outskirts, and the sound of rockets could be heard.

Trixie looked up from her post-orgasm bliss to see a robot the same size as herself land between her and the city. “What the fuck…?” She muttered as she took in the mech’s appearance. To say the thing was obscenely designed would be an understatement. Its entire left arm was a massive minigun, which had several smaller miniguns for barrels. Its right arm clutched a massive laser sword which read ‘Suck it, Skywalker’ on the hilt. It also sported a pair of massive missile ‘breasts’ on its chest, each of which had ‘big booms’ written in crude graffiti on the warhead. Another feature was its crotch-mounted artillery piece which could be adjusted in both length and trajectory, and to top in all off, it featured a pair of cosmetic wrecking balls below it.

"En garde, Kaiju-kun!" President Discord said from the cockpit in a horrible mix of faux French and Japanese accents. "I came here to kick ass and fight kaiju! And I'm all out of ass, except for yours, which I'm going to ki-" The anti-magic beam slammed into the back of the mech, shorting out a huge amount of the power and systems, including the laser sword, which fizzled out like a flashlight dropped in a swimming pool.

“Oh no!” Lily screamed as she watched the mech stumbling around.

“What the hell is that thing!?” Doctor K gasped.

“I… I don’t know…” Lily whimpered. “It wasn’t in the original script anywhere!”

“It’s Discord...” Spitfire clenched her fist.

Trixie stared at the hodge-podge of over-designed robot before her and wondered if she was hallucinating. "What the hell is this!?" She scoffed. “You’re ruining the Great and Powerful Trixie’s power fantasy!”

“Hnnngh!” Discord grunted as he tried to get his mecha under control. “Your fantasy? This is my fantasy! I brought you here so I could fight a big rampaging monster in an oversized robot! Just like you see in those Kirin cartoons that have become so popular among the youth.” He chuckled and slapped at his controls. “Come on, you stupid machine! Work!”

"Main systems offline..." His suit said quietly in a monotone voice, and his crotch-mounted cannon deactivated and went limp. "Reverting all power to critical functions..."

"Oh..." Discord groaned and looked down as the mecha’s ‘penis’ went flaccid. "Oh my... Well, this is embarrassing. Show up for my first kaiju fight and look at what happens. It's not usually like this, I swear...”

Trixie laughed and stood up. “So… Who are you, exactly?”

"I’m President Discord! And I’m the one who’s gonna kick your ursine kaiju ass!" Discord said as his mech did a roundhouse kick straight into Trixie’s belly, sending her flying into the woods behind the highway. “Woot! Looks like I won initiative!” He pressed a button on his control panel, and his suit started playing the ‘Gundam’ theme song. "And for those of you wondering, yes. That music is considered a critical feature."

Trixie groaned and stood up, she pounced at the massive mecha, but even with its power critically drained, Discord was able to sidestep her with uncanny speed, he then delivered a punch to the side of her face, followed by another powerful kick that sent her slamming into the industrial district.

Trixie moaned and leaned up against a massive skyscraper. She looked up, only for the facade of the building to slide off and crash onto her head."Unghh..." She grunted in pain, and she was sure at least one of her ribs was broken as she slowly pulled the rubble off of herself, only to be greeted with Discord’s swirling minigun, which she saw was loaded with lead bullets, as opposed to the standard magical rounds.

“It’s over, Kaiju scum!” Discord grinned and brought a foot down on Trixie’s stomach in triumph. “Any last words!?”

Trixie sighed and slumped down. "Just make it fast." She closed her eyes.

“Huh!?” Discord blinked and spun his mini-gun down. "What was that?” He stuck a finger in his ear and cleaned a comical amount of wax out of it. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I look right now!" He waved to nowhere in particular, as if there were a camera watching him. "Well that, and my mini-gun. Mostly the gun. Seriously. It's very, very loud."

"Do it already!" Trixie growled. “It’s pretty obvious that you’re the one behind this whole crazy scenario, Discord! And I’m letting you know you won, okay! So just end me! Put me out of my misery! I know when I’ve been beat…"

"What!?" Discord wailed. "No, No, No! This was too easy. You were supposed to be super dangerous! Like… taking five episodes to defeat levels of dangerous! You shouldn't have gone down in one hit! Computer, what’s my chance of victory?"

"Calculating… Please wait." The mech’s computer replied. A rotating graphic of the presidential seal showed up on screen.

"C’mon… Really? Load times!?" Discord groaned. “I spent 80 trillion dollars worth of taxpayer money for this!?" He tapped his foot.

Meanwhile, back at Marenobyl, Spitfire and the others stared in awe as they saw Discord’s mech effortlessly defeat Trixie. “Holy crap… And that’s after we hit it with the cannon…” She muttered.

“Huh...” Doctor K stared in a mix of sorrow and relief as he watched his ‘goddess’ fall.

"Did you guys see that!?" Lily cheered. "That robot is kicking her ass! This is perfect! We may not need the cannon after all!"

“Y-y-yeah...” Doctor K sighed. “Once Trixie is defeated, the movie will be over and… Well, I guess we can all go home...”

“What are you doing!?” Spitfire clenched her fist as she watched the mech’s miniguns spin down. "Don't give her an inch! End her! This is your chance!" She yelled up to the robot. “Guh! Why is he stalling!? It’s like he’s trying to give her an opportunity to fight back!"

Discord tapped his fingers and rolled his eyes. He had half-expected Trixie to have a second wind and give him some more epic kaiju action. But much to his disappointment, she seemed content to just sit there while his computer calculated his odds of winning. At last, the computer beeped and gave out its combat analysis. "99.93% chance of victory. Success is all but assured, sir."

"What!? Aw, come on!" Discord yelled. "What’s the point of having an epic kaiju fight if it’s just gonna be a one-sided curb stomp!? I didn’t create a pocket dimension based on a popular movie and rig an election just for this! What a fucking disappointment!" He stomped his mech’s foot in anger.

“Wait… Pocket dimension?” Trixie groaned. "So you mean to tell me that your responsible for all this!? What the heck is going on?!"

"That's right. I'm the one responsible for all this. I sucked you and your little friends into this fantasy land so I could fight the awesome giant monster I saw on the poster!" Discord chuckled.

"So you mean all the ponies I've absorbed...?" Trixie looked at the stars glowing all over her body.

"They're all 'fake', as it were. I made them. Quite lifelike, aren't they?" Discord said proudly, stroking his beard. “The only real pony inside of you is Oranos, and I will be giving him back his old studly body once I’ve had my fun.”

“So… That’s why he feels so much more… real than the others...” Trixie panted, feeling the warm buzzing in her crotch, trying to imagine it spread out over her entire form.

"That's right.” Said Discord. “This whole thing was set up to be MY kaiju fight fantasy from the start! But it seems like I put the game on 'easy mode' when I wanted a real challenge." He gave a discontent sigh and extended a hand to Trixie. "So here's the deal. Why don’t you take a few weeks off to recover, champ?”

"What!? You’re letting me go? Even after all I’ve done?" Trixie looked up at him incredulously. "I… I demolished Manehattan!"

"Pfft. I don’t care if you break my universe. Besides, it'll be a good sequel hook for me to avenge Manehattan." Discord shrugged. "I came here because I wanted to fight a kaiju in a giant obscene robot built using other people’s money. So go ahead, eat a bunch more ponies. Get bigger, destroy some more cities. Whatever you feel like. Then you and I meet back in say… Baltimare or something, and then we have a real kaiju fight, whaddaya say? We could call it the Bear-bitch of Baltimare!"

“You traitor!” Spitfire stood at the edge of Marenobyl, all but frothing from the mouth. “That utter fucking traitor!”

"W-well... he did sort of create you..." Lily said nervously. “And… I mean, I guess it’s a good thing, since it means Trixie hasn’t actually been… You know… eating people...”

“It was real to me!” Spitfire panted, her mind raging at the fact that her entire world was simply created for the pleasure and amusement of an uncaring chaos god. “This is such fucking bullshit… I can’t believe I voted for that guy...”

Control Rod looked more nervous than the others. “We’ve… We’ve got to move. If President Discord truly plans on letting her go, then this is the first place she’ll come… and when she does…”

“He has no idea the kind of incredible power he’ll unleash...” Doctor K gaped as he saw Trixie getting up in the distance.

“So… What is it you expect of me?” Asked Trixie, doing her best to keep her eyes off of Marenobyl.

"I’m going to go back to the hive of scum and villainy that is the capital, and you’re going to rampage.” Said Discord. “Eat some more ponies or do whatever it is you do to make yourself bigger. We’ll meet back up in say… a month or so, and then we’ll have our big city-destroying fight. And try to make it a challenge next time, will ya? I expect you to be at least twice as big as you are now, got it!?" He waggled his finger at her. "And don't hold back, I want you to push me to the limit!"

Trixie glanced at Marenobyl and smirked. "Oh, don’t you worry. I’m sure I'll be more than a match for you..." She got up and sauntered towards the power plant.

Lily was already running towards the exit with Spitfire and Control Rod, but much to her surprise, Doctor K was standing on the edge of the observation platform, watching with a mix of glee and defeat as Trixie stomped into the parking lot. “K!” She screamed.

“Just leave me be… There’s nothing we can do at this point. I just want to witness this.” Doctor K shook his head and looked up in awe as Trixie entered the magical power plant, and in less than ten seconds, she destroyed the cooling towers and severed all the water pipes that supplied water to the cooling turbines.

"Leave him!" Spitfire yelled and pulled Lily towards the exit. "There's nothing we can do for him!"

"There's nothing we can do for anypony now! There's going to be a meltdown!” Control Rod gasped as Trixie tore open the operating room, making quick snacks out of the ponies still inside.

The trio of ponies barely managed to make it out to the streets before Trixie’s paw crashed down on the area they were standing on mere moments ago. "Don't look back! Just keep running!" Spitfire yelled.

"We're not going to make it!" Control Rod panted through his sprinting. "It’s an atomic blast! It’ll level the whole city! We’re just delaying the inevitable!" He looked back at the unstable power plant.

"There’s one spot we can go!" Said Spitfire. "Rich Tower. It’s definitely built to survive a blast like this. We’ll be safe in there… If we can make it..."

Trixie crouched down over the observation platform, her eyes drawn to the tiny pony standing on the platform. A smug grin came over her face as the looked over the tiny gnat of a pony before her. “Hello, K.” She purred.

“Hello, goddess…” Doctor K sighed and hung his head. “I’m… Sorry for trying to stop your ascendance. I want you to know that...”

“That they basically forced you into helping them?” Trixie smiled. "I know, K... I know." She leaned forward and kissed him. "And that's why I'm going to absorb you however you want. Don't worry. It won't hurt. You'll become a part of me, and if Discord is to be believed, you’ll be returned to the real world shortly afterwards...”

Doctor K smiled and began sweating, both from heat and arousal. Alarms started blaring throughout the power plant as the spell matrix reactor’s heat and pressure reached critical mass, over one-thousand times safe levels. Trixie basked in the warm glow of the leaking magical radiation. Her body started to slowly repair itself. Her cracked ribs knitted together, and her cuts began to heal up, making K lick his lips in arousal as he saw her slowly growing more powerful. Trixie knew it wouldn’t be safe for K to exist outside of her for more than a few seconds, so she moved her house-sized finger up to him and absorbed him into it.

Doctor K sighed, in a state of pure bliss and content. “Thank you, my goddess...” He moaned as he felt Trixie stimulating his sensations, causing him to feel happy and aroused. “I never meant to hurt you...”

"That's a good little one..." Trixie purred. "I can tell you're partly lying... you did want to take me out because I nearly drowned you. But don't worry. I'm a merciful goddess. I won't hold it against you." She put her finger in her mouth and sucked K out of it, where she started rolling him around inside her mouth.

"T-Thank you my Goddess" Doctor K closed his eyes and cooed. Out of the thousands of victims that had ended up inside Trixie’s maw, he was the only one that didn't scream as he was absorbed into her magnificent body.

“We’re going to make it!” Control Rod panted as they started to near Rich Tower, just a few blocks away from them. “It’s so close… All we have to do is hope the reactor doesn’t...”

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

The entire city shook violently, sending the ponies sprawling off their feet and causing dozens of lesser skyscrapers to collapse into themselves. The unimaginable had happened. The extreme heat started to destroy the magical cores. The power station’s magical reactors all detonated simultaneously. Calling it an explosion was an imprecise term, it was like a volcanic eruption. The force blew the facility into trillions of tiny pieces and created a shockwave that flattened what was left of the industrial district. Hundreds of tons of highly radioactive magical fuel burst into the sky.

Lily opened her eyes, amazed to see herself still alive. "That... that wasn’t so bad..."

"That was just the shockwave." Said Control Rod. "Any second now, the wave of heat will vaporize us!" He covered his head and waited for death to overtake them. "It's over! It's fucking over!"

But several more seconds passed, and there was no heat wave. Lily and Spitfire hugged each other, waiting for the end to come, but it never did. More seconds passed, then half a minute. And at last Lily was to pull herself off of Spitfire and look up at the blinding red glow of magical fire in the distance. “I… I don’t think it’s going to kill us...”

"I don’t understand..." Control Rod said is disbelief. "It defies the laws of physics! Where’s the heat wave?"

"I don’t know..." Spitfire replied. "It's like all the magical energy went somewhere else..."

"That’s what I’m afraid of…" Lily gulped.

The three stared at the cloud of radioactive flame. They could see movement inside of it. And worse, they could hear laughter.
