What if Alex couldn't get online

RARITY:(V.O.) Last time on Alicorn King.

'This is where we will part ways for now, see you soon!' the apparition said as it faded before a thunderous roar of "Skreeeeooooonnnnkkkkk!" Could be heard along with the cracking of stone. This was followed by the distant thump of giant footsteps coming closer.

ALICORN KING: Atlantis on Equis pt 2.

After hearing the roar everyone freaked out but the two looking the most worried were Alex and Crystal knowing exactly what that roar signified. Crystal turned to Alex with a terrified look on her face. "Okay there's no way for a Godzilla species to show up but that roar is the signature of the king of the monsters so how the hell did we…?" Crystal started before flashing back to the cave underneath Canterlot "You've got to be shitting me! The Draco was a Space Godzilla?!" This realization caused her to worry even more although it also made a twisted sort of sense to her. 'Thank Shy for giving me the whole Godzilla collection including both American versions but that just means I know exactly what could happen if that thing actually is alive!' "I hate to say this but we have to evacuate!" Dammit this is my fault! My time Powers must have gone out of control and brought that thing back to life!' "If you've seen the movies you know how bad this could get!"

Alex nodded then using the Royal Canterlot Voice, "ATTENTION CITIZENS! EVACUATE INTO THE CITY. REPEAT! EVACUATE INTO THE CITY!!!" After that, he took wing, flying into the city. He flew over the city until he arrived at the plaza where the Central Defense Tower and an anonymous crystal formation that resembled a crystal throne.

He enabled the link the royal herd shared between Crystal and himself then said, "Crystal I plan to direct some of the chaos magic of the Everfree itself to enable the city to fly and shield itself."

"I'll try to hold it off!" Crystal replied. "My max size might be enough to give you the time you need" With that in mind she took off to the planes between Ponyville and Canterlot.

"Thank you!" He replied as he landed next to the crystal. Caping his wings, he walked to it. He swallowed a lump that was suddenly in his throat then said through the the entire link. "I love you. All of you my herd." He then began deepening his link with the Everfree.

He closed his eyes and focused on his link. Suddenly he was, the Everfree. He could feel it's joy at freedom. At the it's weather followed no pattern save it's own. He felt the Everfree acknowledge his dominion over it but he also felt it's refusal to submit totally to something it precieved to be it's inferior.

Outside to the ponies watched Alex's were solid white Celestia & Luna had arrived and stood guard in front & back of the throne. Throne was glowing and seemed to grow over him. "Stay back!" Celestia ordered the gathering ponies. "What's happening to him?!" A random mare said. "Let's get him off!" Another said. "No! He's asserting his Dominance over the Everfree! If we move him now he will die! We must wait." Luna roared in the RCV

Releasing the hold on the compression that allowed her to maintain a normal size Crystal grew into her dragon form once more. Now towering over the Everfree and matching an Ursa Major height she could easily see the beast approaching at a leisurely gait, while it had some resemblance to the space Godzilla she knew it took a more dragon-like design based on Death and Kaiser Ghidorah. the giant crystal shoulder spikes inherent to a SpaceGodzilla taking the place of the two outer heads. This creature was made of purple crystal with Galaxy like pa¹tterns held within a characteristic of a starbeast. The wings on it's back were glowing white crystals similar to those that the bipedal version of the creature could generate via geokinesis.

Back with Alex. Alex wiped "Blood" from his mouth. The Everfree's spirit had manifested as a Direwolf in response to his intentions the beast attacked and mauled him. It took him a moment to recover when a woman made of glowing crystal stepped out of nowhere and gave the wolf a punch powerful enough to stagger it. Taking his chance he leaped up and reached around its neck from the back and got it in a choke hold and hung on.

The two massive crystalline dragons sized each other up before both taking a stance to charge at each other. Crystal looking to end this quickly, Draco seeming to have an amused expression. The flash of motion both of them raced towards each other Crystal giving out a mighty Battle cry the Draco responding and kind with its own roar.

Alex held on for all that he was worth as the "wolf" struggled and fought as it tried to dislodge him. As time went by the wolf got weaker and smaller. Once it was no bigger than a German shepherd it disappeared.

Outside, the crystal shell that had formed around Alex crumbled and his Mane started blowing in an unfelt breeze. Then the ground began to rumble as the city began to rumble as a prismatic dome faded into being.

On the outer wall, the on duty guards felt the vibrations as they saw the canopy of trees sink as the city rose. When it reached ten feet above the tops of the highest tree it stopped.

The group were lucky as Crystal and the Draco had just ran into each other causing a massive shockwave to erupt from their impact point. 'Got to focus. This thing seemingly is playing with me, not taking my threat seriously. I probably shouldn't use a breath attack I'm too close and I'm not sure if the angle of refraction would be enough to deflect anything if it can't create a photon shield' Crystal thought not realizing that just by coming into contact with the Draco her body was absorbing the crystals that it was made of. Quickly she threw punches and tail swipes at the beast who was responding in kind. Each impact caused Crystal to absorb more of it. Miniscule amounts at first but over the next few minutes she could feel less weight coming from the beast's strikes.

Suddenly time stopped only Crystal and the Draco itself able to receive anything as The apparition from earlier appeared once more smiling. I see you're having fun absorbing me' It said, shocking Crystal, 'I'm just glad to finally be whole again. All that's left is my shell and my bones finish absorbing me so that we can finally remember.'

With that time started up again Crystal already in mid-motion to strike the beast in its head. As the blow landed the crystalline Gojira shattered all the shards absorbing into Crystal's body. She began to Glow with immense power, passing out before appearing once again in her normal state except for that glow in the herd's bed.

A moment later there was a flash and an energy exhausted Alex bonelessly flopped onto the bed. "I did not expect Everfree to fight me." He muttered into the cushions."

Twilight and her twin appeared in another flash of light. "Hey we're back!" The elder of the two said while holding a particular golden sword. "GriffinStone will join us and we found this weapon at the bottom of the gorge right by the world tree the town is situated on."

Alex slowly rolled over then sat up and said, "Excellent! With griffin ferocity and honor on our side, the caribou. Have a new front to worry about."

Twilight noticed Crystal still lying there glowing. "Alex, is she supposed to be like that?"

Alex shrugged saying, "I don't know. Before we had a Kaiju emergency. She went to fight a Gojra while I merged with the Everfree to get the city airborne. I found myself fighting Everfree's spirit." He yawned and slowly sank into the bed. "I think it took more out of me than I thought." He fell asleep.

"She's learning about her past life." A voice almost exactly like Twilight's and Twily's said. "The Gojira you saw was just a remnant of its former self." Living spirit of the tree of Harmony said, revealing itself to the group. "While fighting the beast your friend merged with it as she is the reincarnation of the original Dragonlord of Equestria the Draco."

Twilly looked at her queen as she recovered from regaining memories of her past life. She then looked at her king. "Why is Alex so tired?" She asked.

"He was fighting the very Everfree itself. Such a fight uses a lot of power, for one so young as him it is no mean feat to do so." Harmony replied. "Had I not helped him by boosting his natural chaos magic he would have died or been taken over by the spirit of the Everfree instead of controlling it." Seeing the confusion at the mention of boosting chaos magic Harmony elaborated "Harmony is the balance between Order and chaos leaning more towards a refined order tempered with chaos. Meaning I can use both Order and chaos magic as I see fit, that is how I was able to boost Alex." The magic avatar chuckled as a thought rose to the surface of her mind when she decided to share. "Eris is in fact my sister when you look at it that way and Accord my brother."

Halfway between Everfree and Mt Aeris an Atlantean Design airship sailed towards the home of the hippogriffs.
Its lack of an airbag marked it as being more advanced than the caribou/equestrian airships heading in the same direction and the fact it overtook them then passed them also showed that they were more advanced. Infuriating the caribou

Three miles away the airship descended to about five hundred feet above sea level and three figures dived off. The ship continues without concern.

"It feels so good to be swimming again!" Sonata said gleefully. "No offense to Crystal and the others but swimming in the lake nearby the castle got limiting very easily."

"I know." Aria replied. "Fresh water leaves me itchy. But the lake couldn't go very deep."

Adagio suddenly got a wicked grin. "Sisters why don't we locate one of the Vanishing Islands[1] And use our songs on the Caribou ships like we did to the humans of the Med on Earth."

"Like. That sounds like fun." Sonata quipped. "Plus if we get horns we can fuck the caribou who're 'Lucky' enough to get on the island won't have enough energy to lift their head let alone swim to save themselves."

The three hippocampus swam happily through the water until they reached the Ruins of Altantis.

"I'm sorry to say this and I hate being the one that's the voice of reason but I don't think we can do that sisters." Aria said grumpily "Alex would have our heads for risking our children even if this early of a stage and that's not even mentioning what Crystal would do if Sonata got put in danger in any way." The mere mention of an angry dragon goddess as they saw her made the three shudder. "Ever since we agreed to be a part of the herd Crystal's been sweet on Sonata especially."

Dagi sighed before saying, "We can't, but the others can. Once we inform them our Queen is awake and has found a king." Her sisters smiled in the same way they did when they found equestrian magic.

Aria pointed ahead of them as six hippocampus were swimming up to them. The three couldn't help but smile. As the six hippocampi swam to them.

[1] A vanishing island is a semi failed volcanic island where the vent hole had risen about at least 20 to 100 feet above sea level. After enough time has gone by a small amount of it breaks the surface to appear like a barren island. The waters around these Islands are treacherous as many ship have run aground of the hidden reefs and rocks surrounding them.
