While Monarch kept their eyes on the titans on the surface, several researchers were sent down into Hollow Earth where they established a new outpost after the previous one was destroyed. Now in present day, the research team stationed in Hollow Earth continues to monitor Kong as he goes through his daily life as the ape's new king. "How are things looking?" "No abnormalities thus far,seems like it was just another normal day for King Kong," the researcher answered. "As to be expected, ever since the incident with the Skar King things have been nothing but quiet, kinda getting boring to be honest," "Hey now Frank, no need to be a downer, at least we won't have to worry about getting eaten alive by some rouge titan," joked the researcher. "You're not wrong there Danny," Frank chuckled as he poured himself a cup of coffee. As Danny spun around in his chair, the doors opened as a female researcher entered "Hey Linda, something wrong?" asked Danny. "Another one got the boot," Linda sighed as she threw a stack of papers on top of her work station. "Oh great who is it this time?" asked Frank. "Toby," answered Linda. "Who?" asked Danny. "You know, Tobias W. Hawthorne, crypto zoologist expertise and a head researcher of Monarch's Titan Division, I'm sure you've met him right?" asked Frank. "Wait THAT Toby?" asked Danny. "Apparently the director found out about his past affiliations with Apex," explained Linda. "He was in on the Mechagodzilla shit!?" asked Danny. "I wouldn't say that, nobody knows exactly if he really was involved in the creation of Mechagodzilla, what we DO know was that he was an ex-employee of Apex," explained Linda. "And they let him go because of that?" asked Frank taking a sip of his coffee. "Apparently," nodded Linda. "At least that's what the head of operations said," "Sounds like tough luck to me," Frank snickered. "He was one of our best too," Danny sighed as he leaned back in his chair. "Nothing we can do," said Linda. "By the way how's the big guy doing?" "Just another normal day, honestly it's not really exciting if it's this quiet," said Danny. "But it also means it's peaceful," says Linda as she walks over to the monitor. "Personally I want it to stay that-" she froze as she glanced at the screen,her smile melting off. "Hm? what's up Linda?" Frank asked. Danny spun back around and glanced at the screen. "What the hell?" Frank walked over to their side to see that one of the four aerial cameras had detected something. "What is that?" asked Frank. "Looks like another uncharted area," said Danny. The three stares in awe at the large red mass on the screen. "Looks like it's located somewhere near Kong's lair," said Linda. "Guys," Linda and Danny turns towards Frank as he pulls up a chair on another monitor. "I'm getting some strong readings, it's the same ones from the vortexes found in the Iwi's village," "You mean the one that Dr. Andrews found when they last came down here?" asked Danny. "That's the one," answered Frank. "And where's the readings coming from?" asked Linda. "Hang on I'm working on it," Frank said as he began tapping away on the keyboard. "Found it, based on the location is seems to be part of the same uncharted area that the computer detected," "Is it another one of those vortexes?" asked Linda. "Considering that the readings are identical it's safe to assume," answered Frank. "Shouldn't we report this to Hampton as well?" asked Danny. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to notify them about this, Frank can you try and reach her?" asked Linda. "Working on it," he said as he tapped away on the keyboard. Hollow Earth Access Point Dr. Ilene Andrews quickly navigates through the facility as researchers and armed soldiers scramble about. As it turns out, the past few days, Godzilla had suddenly begun acting erratically despite no titans had emerged to challenge his authority and today was no different. "Andrews," she turns around to see Hampton walking up to her. " "Care to explain what the hell's going on this time?" Ilene asks. "It's another one of his freakouts," said Hampton. "I don't understand,he's never been this upset but for some reason he's been getting pissed off for no reason lately," "Well there HAS to be a reason," said Ilene. "Yeah and whatever it is, it's clearly powerful enough to set him off this much, not even Kong or Ghidorah pushed him to this level of anger," said Hampton. As the two entered the monitoring room responsible for keeping track of the titan's activities,she points to a researcher. "Talk to me," "Godzilla's currently making his way towards Loviisa, Finland," answered the researcher. "Whatever he's planning on doing it's clearly got him riled up," "Pull up the map, let's see," said Ilene. "The researcher does as instructed and pulls up a map of the location Godzilla was heading towards. "Oh shit," "It's a nuclear facility," said Hampton. "The last time Godzilla targeted a nuclear facility he was absorbing power to prepare himself for the confrontation with the Skar King," said Ilene. "So something similar is happening here?" asked Hampton. "Most likely," said Ilene. "Director Hampton, incoming call from Outpost 1," another researcher interrupted. "Whatever it is, hopefully it's better news than what we're currently dealing with," said Hampton. The researcher answers the call as a man's voice rings out from the speakers. "This is Frank from Monarch Observation team calling from Outpost 1 in Hollow Earth do you read?" "Frank we read you, what seems to be the problem?" asked Hampton. "No problems here ma'am, just that our computers have recently picked up on a strange reading from another uncharted area in Hollow Earth near Kong's and the great ape's lair,we have deduced that the readings are similar to the vortexes found in the Iwi tribe's village," explained Frank. "Another Hollow Earth access point?" asked Ilene. "Most likely," added Frank. "Where does it lead?" asked Hampton. "Our team has tried to figure it out, unfortunately it seems like our technology is struggling to figure that out,whatever is on the other side seems to be interfering with our equipment, however we do know that there is some form of life as they're picking up on heat signatures, but this mysterious energy source from the other side is making it difficult to figure out what exactly they are," explained Frank. "Mysterious energy source, is that what's causing Godzilla such unease?" asked Ilene. "Godzilla?" asked Frank. "We haven't told you this, but for the past few days, Godzilla has been acting erratic for no apparent reason, if what you said is true, then whatever is on the other side of that vortex is probably the cause of it all," suggested Ilene. "Jesus," Frank murmured. "Wait hold please, it seems like Danny found something," "Something?" asked Hampton. "Kong seems to be on the move, and he's headed towards that vortex in the uncharted area," explained Frank. "Hang tight, I'm sending a Task Force down there," said Hampton. "Understood, we'll continue to monitor Kong and the strange energy readings," said Frank. Hampton sighs as the call cuts out before turning towards Ilene. "Well?" she asks. "I don't know about this," said Ilene. "You've done this before Andrews, who says you can't pull this off again?" asked Hampton. "Yeah but last time we only went as far as the Iwi village, we'll be heading into unknown territories this time around," argued Ilene. "And whatever is on the other side is pissing off Godzilla, if you run from this then what will the public say about Monarch?" asked Hampton. "Besides you're daughter is not a little girl anymore, I'm sure she'll be worried about Kong as well," Ilene scoffs before nodding. "Alright fine but at least let me choose the members for this task force," said Ilene. "Whoever it is you have to contact, make it quick, Godzilla is not a fan of waiting," said Hampton. Ilene nodded as she followed Hampton out to prepare for the upcoming mission. Chapter 14: Femme FataleThe group gazes up at Mothra in awe as she protects the group from Megalon and Battra. She lets out a high pitched screech before turning to face the group. Jia smiles as she walks up and gently caresses Mothra. "It's been a while hasn't it Mothra?" Ilene smiles. Mothra squeals in agreement as the Equestrians just stare at them completely dumbfounded. "It's really letting them pet them like that?" asked Rainbow Dash. "She does look kinda cute," added Fluttershy. "And absolutely stunning," said Rarity. "Oh the giant moth is ok but the spiders aren't?" sighs Applejack. "Oh shush, a lady can have her tastes too," Rarity scoffs. Their conversation was suddenly interrupted when Megalon roared as he got to his feet. "Sounds like somebody's pissed," said Trapper. Mothra quickly turns her attention towards the two as Megalon jumps up and down like a child throwing a tantrum. Battra especially wasn't happy about seeing the queen of monsters. "Ow, ow, ow," They turn around as Thorax limps over to them looking dazed. "Thorax!" Twilight rushed over to him. "I know that thing is big, but did it seriously have to hit me so hard?" Thorax groaned. "Well one thing's for sure, we better get someplace safe before these guys go at each other," said Trapper. "Follow me we can stake out at our hive," Thorax groaned as he led the group away from the field as Mothra lunged at the two monsters. As the party quickly takes shelter in the changeling hive, the battle between the three titans rages on. Mothra flies over the hive with Battra in pursuit. Megalon growls as he fires two red crystalline bullets at Mothra nearly striking her wing while Battra fired of a stream of purple energy from his eyes trying to shoot her down. Mothra quickly turns around and shoots out a web of her silk that entangles Battra sending him crashing to the ground before turning to face Megalon. The overgrown beetle retaliates by firing a stream of electricity from it's horn at Mothra as she charges towards him and sends him flying after ramming into him. As Megalon rolls around on the ground, Mothra quickly encases him in her web to prevent him from moving. "Haha yeah take that!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "Not bad, no wonder they call her the queen," said Capper. "She may be soft, but that doesn't mean she can't put up a good fight," said Ilene. "Yeah yo go moth girl!" Rarity cheered. As Mothra asserts her dominance over Megalon, Battra takes his opportunity to fire a stream of purple energy, sending her crumbling to her knees. "Hey no fair, that was dirty!" yelled Pinkie. As Mothra slowly got to her feet Megalon suddenly erupted from the ground knocking her over with his drill like appendages before crawling out of the hole screeching. "Mothra!" Twilight gasped. "Oh this is really bad," yelped Trixie. They watched as Megalon begins pummeling Mothra into the ground with his arms. "We need to do something before he kills her!" said Sunburst. "But what can we do?" asked Thorax. They watched as Megalon raised his drills, but before he could bring them down on Mothra, a huge chunk of ice smashed into him, sending him stumbling forward. Megalon hissed and turned around to see Shimo making her way towards them with Suko on her back. "Shimo?" Ilene gasped. Suko snarled at Megalon before throwing the frozen rock he was holding at Megalon. He quickly raised his drills to defend himself before screeching at them. At the same time, Battra had managed to escape Mothra's web by chewing through the silk. Megalon stomped his feet in frustration and attempted to zap them with the electricity from his horn but not before Mothra slashed at his back with her clawed insectoid legs. "Haha yes payback!" Spike cheers. But Megalon simply got back up and roared angrily while swinging his arms clearly not happy he was being taken advantage of. As Mothra got to her feet, Battra retaliated by firing off a blast of purple energy from his eyes as Mothra let out a wail of agony. Seeing this Shimo charged up a blast of icy cold air and firing it at Battra, but not before he took to the skies. Suko attempted to knock him down by throwing giant boulders at him, but Battra was far too nimble for Suko, simply avoiding the barrage of attacks. Battra slowly descends, returning to Megalon's side while Shimo quickly moves next to Mothra in an attempt to protect her. "Looks like the odds are even now," said Tempest. "Yeah 2v2 let those creeps have it!" cheered Pinkie. Megalon snarls before firing two shots of the crystalline bullets at them, but Suko counters by throwing two large boulders nullifying the attacks. Meanwhile both Mothra and Battra takes to the skies while Shimo attempts to freeze Megalon, but he quickly burrows into the ground with his drills, avoiding the blast. "Oh come on what kind of cheat move!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "If we don't do something about Megalon's ability to burrow into the ground, we're not going to get anywhere," said Ilene. "Yeah but what can we do?" asked Bernie. Their attention was pulled towards Mothra as she crashed into the ground while Battra launched a barrage of energy based attacks from his eyes. "Mothra's in trouble too," said Starlight. The group watched as Shimo struggled to land a hit on Megalon as he continued to poke his head out of the ground and then burrowing back into the ground. After several failed attempts, Megalon suddenly emerged from beneath Shimo, knocking her off balance and sending Suko tumbling off of her back. Megalon roared before zapping her with the electricity from his horn. "Eep, this looks really bad," Fluttershy whimpered. Megalon raised his drills, but just as he was about to attack, two large vines suddenly wrapped around his arms restraining him as he screeched. "What was that?" asked Thorax. Suddenly, from within the earth behind Megalon, a familiar plant titan emerges snarling while keeping it's grip on Megalon. "Is that?" asked Sunburst. "Biollante!" Ilene nodded. Biollante hissed as she began retracting her vines, pulling Megalon back as it squirmed around trying to escape. Seeing her opportunity, Shimo quickly blasted Megalon with ice cold air, freezing him in place right as Biollante released her grip. "Now that's what I call teamwork!" said Spike. Seeing this, Battra hissed and charged towards Biollante, but not before Mothra rushed in and tackled her dark counterpart, sending him tumbling into the frozen Megalon and smashing the ice prison he was trapped in. Once the dust cleared, both Megalon and Battra was sprawled out on the ground struggling to get up. Shimo began charging up one final ice blast when a large silky web dropped on top of her disrupting her attack. "Oh what now?" asked Rarity. They looked over as Kumonga slowly emerged from where he last fell, clearly not happy about being tossed around. "Oh great the creepy spider is still alive," As the spider titan crawled out raring to go, both Megalon and Battra managed to collect themselves fuming and enraged. Meanwhile, Mothra helped Shimo out of Kumonga's web before the three turned towards their adversaries. Megalon let's out an enraged screech and charges towards them, but just as the three braces for an attack, another familiar roar rings out through the area. Megalon stops in his tracks as the Shimo, Mothra, and Biollante turns around to see Godzilla slowly making his way towards them. "Ugh about time!" Trixie scoffs. Furious he got interrupted again Megalon swings his arms around in a frenzy and charges towards him. But Godzilla remains unfazed as he also begins picking up speed, then without hesitation, he jumps up and flies towards Megalon with his legs outstretched, sending him tumbling towards Battra and Kumonga with a single dropkick. As Megalon stumbles into Kumonga, Battra quickly takes to the skies, but not before Biollante latches onto him with her vines and pulls him back down to the planet. Mothra acts quickly and traps the three under one of her webs and Shimo follows up by freezing them in a block of ice so they can't escape. Finally Godzilla lands the finishing blow with a big dose of his atomic breath causing a massive explosion, engulfing the three monsters in a pillar of flame. As their screeches rings out, their bodies dissolve in a golden light within the flames leaving a massive pile of ash and golden dust in it's place. The group cheers as Godzilla,Mothra,Shimo,Suko, and Biollante roars to celebrate another victory. "That was so cool!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Is it just me, or does Godzilla get cooler every time he wins?" asked Spike. "I suppose that's why they call him the king of the monsters," added Capper. As the monsters begins to leave the area, the party prepares to head to the next area to continue their search for Tobias. "I seriously don't know how to thank you guys," said Thorax. "Well the only way you'll be doing that is if you survive this whole ordeal, and that's why we have to stop Tobias ASAP," said Ilene. "The human that made that three headed monster right?" asked Thorax. "He sounds dangerous, are you going to be alright?" "Don't worry Thorax as long as they have Godzilla on their side, I don't think we'll have to worry about that," Spike reassures his friend. "Yeah I suppose you're right, but in case you need anything don't hesitate to ask, we'll do what we can to support you," "We'll take you up on that," said Ilene. "Hey let's go!" Bernie calls for her as he and Jia boards the HEAV. "Looks like we better move," said Ilene. "Right," Twilight agreed. With that Thorax, Pharynx, and Ocellus sees the party off as they head to their next destination. Chapter 16: The Apex TitanTrixie looks over at Starlight as she looks off into the distance with a concerned expression. "Hey, something on your mind?' she asked. "Oh no, it's nothing," Starlight feigned innocence. "That doesn't sound like nothing," said Trixie. "Yeah, I'm just worried about everypony in my village," she sighed. "Hey don't worry I'm sure they'll be fine, if Godzilla can handle everything up until this point, I'm sure whatever is lurking around in your old village won't stand a chance," said Trixie trying to comfort her. "Yeah, you're right, they have to be alright, they have to," Starlight took a deep breath trying to calm her nerves. "We've arrived," she looks down as Mothra begins to descend with the HEAV. Surprisingly her village appeared to be untouched. No form of destruction was visible and all the ponies were casually walking around like nothing was wrong. As they landed, the party began walking around, it was starting to appear as if Starlight's village was spared from Tobias's campaign of destruction. "Huh doesn't seem like anythings wrong," said Bernie. "That's not possible my phone still has a reading," said Ilene. "Maybe it's sleeping or something?" asked suggested Pinkie. "Starlight?" the group looks up as four familiar ponies walk up to them. "What are you doing here?" "Double Diamond, Sugar Belle, Night Glider, Party Favor, oh it's so good to see you guys," Starlight rushed over to them. "We need your help, have you seen any giant monsters roaming around here?" The four looked at each other confused. "Giant monsters?" asked Night Glider. "No, we didn't see anything like that," said Party Favor. "You didn't?" asked Starlight. "Maybe he didn't come by here?" suggested Spike. "By the way are those humans?" Sugar Belle asked pointing to the four. "Oh uh yeah, um listen it's a long story," said Starlight. "All I can say is we're looking for a giant three headed monster," "Hm well we haven't seen anything like that, but maybe our new friend knows, he's also human so maybe he might have some clues," suggested Double Diamond. "Another human?" asked Applejack. "But the only other human besides these four is...." Rainbow Dash trails off. "Don't tell me," Starlight gasped. "I suddenly have a bad feeling about this," said Twilight. "And you have good reason to," a familiar voice speaks up. "Ah there he is," Double Diamond, Party Favor, Sugar Belle, and Night Glider steps to the side as Tobias reveals himself. "Long time no see friends," he sneers. "Tobias," Starlight growled. "Aww what a shame, i put together this welcoming party and you aren't even happy to see me?" Tobias sneered. "We'd be better off seeing you gone," hissed Tempest. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, my, my, what a tense atmosphere," Tobias sighed. "Well not that it matters, I'm surprised you made it all the way here," "Ha you think we'll go down without even getting a chance to beat you up, not a chance buddy!" Rainbow Dash laughed. "You saved us the trouble of finding you actually darling," said Rarity. "Is that what you think this is?" asked Tobias. "What a bunch of fools, if you really think you can take me on then go right ahead," he snapped as fingers as Hyper Mecha Ghidorah suddenly warped right in the center of the village sending the ponies into a panic. "We'll smash that robot into pieces!" said Rainbow Dash. "Wait Rainbow no!" Twilight tried to stop her as she lunged towards the mechanical titan but not before the middle head turned towards her and opened it's jaw before absorbing the magic from her body. The group gasped as she fell towards the ground in a weakened heap. "Dashie!" Pinkie gasped. Before anyone else could make a move, all three heads began slithering towards them with their mouths open. "No!" Trixie, Tempest, and Sunburst quickly jumped in front of the group as the robot began absorbing their magic as the three collapsed. "NO!" Starlight rushed over to Sunburst and Trixie as they lay on the ground in a weakened heap. "Aw what a shame, trying to protect your friends, and look where it got you," Tobias cackled. "You monster!" Starlight hissed. "Monster?" "I'm no monster, I am a god!" Tobias beamed. "You've caused so much damage already, I won't let you get away with this!" Starlight growled. "Oh and how do you plan on stopping me?" he sneered. "You don't even have your magic anymore," "I may not have magic, but THEY can," she said pointing Double Diamond, Party Favor, Sugar Belle, and Night Glider who's still in shock at what just transpired. "Uh actually Starlight, none of us are really fit for fighting a giant robot so," they began to back away. "Hmph, don't think I'll let you escape," Tobias hissed as the mecha intercepted them and absorbed their magic. "Tobias please stop, leave them out of this!" Starlight begged. But he simply smirked and snapped his fingers as the robot takes off and begins capturing the rest of their villagers stealing their magic. "No!" "Starlight don't!" Twilight rushes over with Applejack to restrain her. "Y'all ain't no match against that there thing!" said Applejack. "No let me go!" Starlight cried out as Hyper Mecha Ghidorah absorbed all the magic from every single pony leaving them weakened on the ground. Once every last pony was sapped of their magic, Hyper Mecha Ghidorah slowly turned it's attention towards the group. "Now then, it's your turn," Tobias sneered as he slowly approached the group. The group stood their ground as the three heads slowly hovered above them with their jaws open. But before it could absorb their magic, a familiar roar quickly caught their attention. They all looked up as Godzilla appeared behind them. "Tch, that damn overgrown lizard, you fools got lucky this time, but I'll take your magic eventually," Tobias sneered before looking up Godzilla. "As for you I have someone else for you to play with, an old friend of yours, I'm sure you remember him," he snapped his fingers as one of the walls on a nearby rocky cliff, cracks open before a large metallic arm bursts out. Godzilla slowly turns towards the rocky cliff as another large mech emerges followed by it's robotic cry. It's body is covered in metal plates with hints of black and accents of neon red energy glowing through small cracks in it's armored plates. It's back was lined up with three rows of square tipped dorsal fins reminiscent of Godzilla's spines. "Oh shit," cursed Bernie. "Is that a robot Godzilla?" yelped Spike. "No, that's Mechagodzilla," corrected Ilene. Mechagodzilla slowly turned towards Godzilla, it's eyes glowing in the same neon red light as Godzilla roared at it angrily. "It may look like Mechagodzilla, but after Apex failed to create a proper titan killing machine, I made sure to enhance it's capabilities to resist all attacks from both Godzilla and Kong," Tobias snickered. Surely Godzilla will have some fun playing with his new and improved play buddy," "Hey where do you think you're going?" Starlight asked as he away from the group. "Your friends may have been sparred, but that doesn't mean there are other creatures in this world who can escape unscathed, my plan is almost complete and once I get my hands on your friend's magic, we will have become unstoppable, until that day comes, I'll be expecting you to survive," he cackled and snapped his fingers before warping out of the village with Hyper Mecha Ghidorah, leaving them and Godzilla with Mechagodzilla. "He's a tricky one," said Trapper. They look up as Godzilla and Mechagodzilla charges at each other with Mechagodzilla firing off several missiles from his shoulder canon before the two rams into each other. "We need to get everypony out of the village," said Twilight. Everyone nods, as they quickly rush in to help the weakened ponies out of the village. "Starlight?" She looks over to see her friend with her head down. "Look I know it looks bad, but we'll make him pay," Starlight clenches her teeth before following after the others. As they help the villagers escape, they occasionally look up to see Godzilla getting beat down by his mechanical counterpart. "Um is the big guy going to be alright?" asked Capper. "Tobias wasn't kidding when he said he enhanced Mechagodzilla's capabilities, Godzilla's getting his ass handed to him," Bernie grunted as he helped a pony to safety. They watch as Godzilla charges up and fires a stream of his atomic breath only for Mechagodzilla to counter with his own. However due to the enhancements, Mechagodzilla is able to push Godzilla back. As Godzilla struggles to get up, Mechagodzilla, walks over and grabs him before dragging him across the ground, destroying several houses in the process, before throwing him into several stone pillars. "Oh no, this looks bad," Fluttershy whimpers. As Godzilla lay on the ground, Mechagodzilla flips him onto his back before grabbing his face with his four pronged claws and attempts to pry it open while Godzilla swats at him. Godzilla grunts as Mechagodzilla holds his jaw open, charging up a blast, but right as he's able to give Godzilla his very own kiss of death, something jumps onto Mechagodzilla's back and forces his head back before he's able to fire his beam into Godzilla's mouth. "Kong!" Ilene's eyes widen as she catches sight of the titanic ape. As Kong holds Mechagodzilla in place, his tail comes up from behind, knocking the ape off his back and onto the ground. Kong groans and sits up as Mechagodzilla raises his claw charging it up with energy, ready to swing at him, but Godzilla quickly gets to his feet and grabs onto Mechagodzilla, distracting him while Kong grabs his other arm and drags him towards the ground. As Mechagodzilla recovers from the attack he raises his arm attempting to swing at Godzilla, only for Kong to stop his punch mid swing. Mechagodzilla knocks Godzilla back with several missiles before throwing Kong on top of Godzilla. "Ok this doesn't look any better," said Spike. They watch in anticipation as they pull themselves up. Mechagodzilla charges up another blast when something rams into him from behind and sends it tumbling forward into the ground. The group looks over to see a third monster resembling a dog lion hybrid standing behind the apex titan. The monster growls as it jumps up on it's hind legs, it's skin resembles that of bricks and several tufts of light brown fur cover it's body. "What in Equestria?!" Rarity yelped. "Doc isn't that?" asked Trapper. "Yeah no doubt it is," Ilene nodded. "What is it?" asked Fluttershy. "It looks kinda cute," "That's another one of Godzilla's ancient allies, a guardian monster that's said to have battled another version of Mechagodzilla with Godzilla in the past," explained Ilene. "Monarch has dubbed him King Caesar," Chapter 1: Kong Enters EquestriaUncharted Area:Hollow Earth The ground quakes as Kong slowly makes his way through the caves of Hollow Earth with Suko following closely behind. One of the great apes had recently discovered a series of cave systems near their lair and notified him about them due to the unknown dangers lurking beyond. Now tasked with scouting out the area for potential threats, Kong continued to cautiously traverse the system with Suko. Eventually the two came across an open area with a familiar looking vortex with a whitish bluish hue. As Kong took a step towards the vortex, Suko reluctantly grabbed his arm and tried to pull him back while whimpering nervously. But Kong simply ignored his pleas and continued towards the vortex, battle axe in hand. As he approached the edge of the vortex, he tightened his grip around the handle before jumping in, leaving behind a concerned Suko. Twilight's Castle:Equestria Starlight quickly makes her way to the throne room with the rest of the element bearers, Twilight had summoned the group after the cutie map had seemingly and unexpectedly called for their aid. Upon reaching the throne room, they found Twilight staring at the map with a puzzled expression. "Twilight we came as fast as we could!" Starlight gasped trying to catch her breath. "Ah girls perfect timing," said Twilight looking up at them. "You said the map called for ALL of us?" asked Applejack. "Well yes, maybe, I don't actually know," Twilight answered. "Huh what kinda answer is that?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Well take a look," said Twilight waving them over. The group surrounded the cutie map as it seemed to flicker, the cutie mark of all 6 element bearers seemed to flash and change almost as if the map was trying to decide on a candidate. "Um Twilight is the map alright?" asked Fluttershy. "That's what I've been trying to figure out, the map's never done this before, I asked Starswirl if he could look into it but even he seemed to have some trouble figuring it out," explained Twilight. "That's quite surprising, normally someone as intelligent as Starswirl would have no problem finding the answers to mysteries like this," said Starlight. "He's currently working with Sunburst trying to find answers, but I have a feeling even Sunburst won't know, considering that the map seems to be calling for all of us, this friendship problem seems really big," added Twilight. "Or maybe the map's just having trouble figuring out who can solve this problem the fastest!" Pinkie chimed in. "I don't think that's how it works darling," sighed Rarity. As the seven discussed amongst each other, they were suddenly interrupted by Sunburst and Starswirl rushing into the room. "Pardon our intrusion, Twilight are you here!?" Starswirl asked. "Starswirl did you figure it out?" asked Twilight. "Not yet, but never mind that now, we must hurry to the Hollow Shades!" he exclaimed. "The Hollow Shades!?" they all gasped in unison. "Is it the pony of shadows again?" asked Fluttershy. "No this is something more strange, we've managed to detect some kind of strong energy source coming from that place," explained Sunburst. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's move!" said Rainbow. "Lead the way!" added Twilight. The group quickly rushed out of the castle, following after Starswirl and Sunburst as they quickly made their way to the Hollow Shades once more. Hollow Earth Access Point "Glad you guys got here ASAP," Ilene said buckling up. "Aye no trouble at all, I mean it's not like you can just travel to Hollow Earth whenever you want ain't that right Bernie?" Trapper chuckled. "Yeah but I'm surprised you actually agreed to let me go this time," he said looking at Ilene. "You've already done this before, plus you're skills really helped us out last time," said Ilene. "Guess we can't call you a kid anymore huh?" he smiled looking at Jia. "You can't say no to me anymore" Jia looked at her adoptive mother as she replied in sign language. "Well we might need you for Kong" Ilene replied back in sign language as Jia smiled. "Alright buckle up you beautiful people," Trapper said as he started up the HEAV. As everyone buckled up, the transport slowly began to ascend as the access point opened up in front of them. "Let's roll!" With that, the HEAV dove into the vortex as it made it's journey down into Hollow Earth. Hollow Shades:Equestria "Well here we are," said Applejack. The group stops to catch their breath as they finally make it to the Hollow Shades. "To think that we'd end up having to come back here," said Starlight. "So what exactly is this energy source you were talking about?" asked Twilight. "I'm not exactly sure, but I know for a fact that this is where the energy is the strongest," explained Sunburst. "You all feel it too don't you, in the atmosphere?" "Now that you mention it, the air definitely feels off," Starlight agreed. At that moment the ground began to shake catching the group off guard. "What the hay!?" Rainbow Dash yelped. "An earthquake!?" Applejack gasped. "Everyone stick together!" Starswirl ordered. The group huddled together as Fluttershy grabbed onto Starlight. Suddenly the ground where the well of shades was located began to sink as a massive vortex appeared beneath the earth. The group yelped and quickly began backing away as the vortex grew in size eventually swallowing a huge chunk of the earth. The group quickly gathered their composure and turned towards the massive vortex as it glowed in a blue and white hue. "Well that was certainly a rude awakening," Rarity coughed as the dust settled. "This is it, this is the strong energy source we detected!" Sunburst exclaimed. "What this thing?" asked Rainbow Dash. Twilight cautiously approached the edge and looked down. "What is it?" asked Fluttershy. "Looks like some kind of vortex," said Twilight. "Although where it leads, that's a whole another mystery," "Ooh, I like it, we should jump in!" Pinkie giggled. "I don't think that's a good idea sugarcube," said Applejack. "Hey is it just me or is the thing glowing?" asked Rainbow Dash. But before anyone could answer a giant hand suddenly emerged and latched itself onto the edge causing the group to scatter and move back. "What in Celestia's name!?" Applejack gasped. The group turned back towards the massive hand that emerged and noticed that it was adorned with a mechanized gauntlet. The gauntlet begins to emit the sound of mechanical whirring as the hand tightens it's grip on the sides of the vortex and before long a large creature covered in thick black fur emerges carrying a large bone with a jagged stone attached to it, made to resemble an axe. As the creature stands up,it's sheer size is put on full display for the group. "Sweet Celestia what is that!?" Rarity yelped. "It looks like some kind of animal," said Starlight. "Ooh look at how fluffy it looks!" Pinkie giggled. The creature studies them as the group stares back in awe. "Um it's just staring at us," said Rainbow Dash. "It's not going to attack us is it?" Applejack. The group watches in anticipation waiting for the creature to do something, but much to their surprise it simply lets out a low groan before slowly walking off in a random direction, the ground shaking beneath them with every step. "It didn't do anything?" asked Sunburst. "Maybe it's not the aggressive type?" suggested Fluttershy. "But with that sheer size it's certainly not safe to let it just wander around," said Starlight. "I agree, we should follow it and see what it does for the time being," suggested Starswirl. "Should it start getting violent we may have no choice but to fight it off. With that the group quickly follows after the creature in hopes of studying it's behavior and figuring out it's motive. Chapter 2: OutsidersGreat Ape's Lair:Hollow Earth Ilene wiped the sweat from her forehead as the members of the task force began to regroup. "Well?" "Nothing so far," said Trapper. "Are you certain it's around here?" asked Bernie. "The research team at Outpost one said the energy readings were detected around here," said Ilene. She turned towards Jia who seemed to be staring off in a certain direction. She walked over and tapped her on the shoulder. "What's up?" "I can sense Kong," Jia responded in sign language. "Where?"" Ilene asked. "What's she saying?" asked Bernie. "Jia says she can sense Kong nearby," answered Ilene. "Well this IS his new kingdom," said Trapper. "It's coming from that way," Jia says pointing at a small entrance to a tunnel. "She says he's somewhere down that way," Ilene says. "Well only one way to find out," said Trapper. "Let's go check it out shall we?" The group quickly piled back into the HEAV and began making their way down the dark tunnel. "Hey wait something's up ahead," said Ilene. As Trapper began to slow down, they came out into a huge open area where Suko was standing in front of the newly opened vortex looking somewhat nervous. "Mini Kong!?" Bernie exclaimed. As the HEAV slowly approached, Suko turned around and looked at them before pointing at the vortex and began whimpering and howling as he imitated Kong's behavior. "And it looks like it's that vortex that the research team had mentioned," said Ilene. "Should we even go in there?" asked Bernie. "I can sense Kong on the other side," Jia said in sign language. "Jia said he went in there," said Ilene. "Well guess there's only one way to find out" said Trapper. Although slightly reluctant, Trapper piloted the HEAV into the vortex as the group prepared to see where it lead. Sweet Apple Acres:Equestria Kong studied the long rows of apple trees while Twilight and her friends watched from afar. He looked down at one of the trees and hungrily stared at the juicy apples hanging from it. "What's it doing?" asked Rainbow Dash. "It looks like it wants some apples," said Starlight. "It better not be thinkin' about pluckin' them apple trees," said Applejack. They watched as Kong gently tapped the side of the tree causing several apples to fall off. He quickly reached down and begin picking them up before popping them into his mouth like little candies. "Wow Applejack, it's just good as you!" Pinkie giggled as Applejack stared at Kong in awe. "I mean I wouldn't doubt it, it's almost as tall as Canterlot castle," said Sunburst adjusting his glasses. "But it does seem like it does not pose a real threat," said Starswirl. "But we can't be sure, we still don't know why it's here," said Twilight. "I could try talking to it," suggested Fluttershy. "I suppose if anypony was able to communicate with animals it'd be Fluttershy," said Rarity. They watched as Fluttershy nervously walked over to Kong as he continued munching on apples. "Are you sure this is going to be safe?" asked Starlight. "She's the element of kindness I'm sure she'll be fine," said Rainbow Dash. "Um excuse me?" Fluttershy called up to him nervously. Kong briefly stops snacking on apples and slowly turns his attention to Fluttershy. "Um hello there Mr. uh monkey, um my name is Fluttershy, me and my friends were just wondering what you're doing here," Kong lets out a deep groan as he stares at her. "Um do you not understand me?" Fluttershy asked. Kong simply responds with hand gestures as he attempted to communicate with the pony. "Doesn't seem like she's having much luck," said Starlight. As Kong continued his attempts to communicate with Fluttershy he suddenly stopped and looked up. "Um Mr. monkey is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked. They watched as Kong gets to his feet and picks up his battle axe. "Fluttershy, what's going on with it?" Twilight asked as the rest of the group came out of hiding. "I don't know," replied Fluttershy. "Hey do y'all hear something?" asked Applejack. The group stopped talking to listen as the sound of jet engines could be heard coming towards them. "What in Celestia's name is that?" asked Rarity. "Up there!" Starswirl said looking up. The others look in the same direction as a large object came flying in their direction before coming to a halt several yards from where they were. The object slowly descended before landing. The group watched as four humans suddenly rushed out of the object and towards Kong. "Are those?" asked Starlight. "Yeah, no doubt about it, they're humans," said Sunburst. As the four approached Kong, they suddenly stopped when they saw Twilight and her friends. "Whoa," Trapper raised his hands upon seeing the colorful ponies in front of them. "Bitch what?"Bernie asked. "Oh my goodness," Ilene stopped to catch her breath. "Yo I'm not dreaming am I?" Bernie asked rubbing his eyes. "No those are not hallucinations Bernie ol' buddy," said Trapper. "I've never seen anything like this," said Ilene. "Hey are they talking about us?" asked Rainbow Dash. "They are looking at us," said Applejack. As both parties cautiously approach each other, Jia suddenly stops in her tracks and turns her attention towards the direction of ponyville. "Hey what's up?" Ilene asks in sign language. "I think something's here," Jia responds. "What do you mean?" Ilene asks. "I don't know how to explain it, something just feels off," Jia responds "Hey what's she saying?" asked Bernie. "Jia says something's here," Ilene explains. "Something? Like what?" asked Bernie. "Yeah it's not just her," agreed Trapper. "I definitely felt like the air about this place was off, and it's not because we're in some other dimension," At that moment Ilene's phone begins to vibrate. She quickly takes it out and freezes. "Oh shit," Ilene curses. "What?" asked Bernie. "There's a titan here," said Ilene. "How's that possible?" asked Trapper. "I'm not sure but the readings are dangerously close," said Ilene. "Like how close?"asked Bernie. As if one cue, a loud monstrous roar filled the air. "What in Equestria!?" Rarity yelped. "It sounded like it came from ponyville!" Sunburst exclaimed. Kong growled as he picked up his axe and quickly ran in the direction of the small village. "Come on girls we need to hurry!" said Twilight. The members of the task force watched as the ponies quickly rushed off in the same direction as Kong. "Let's hurry too, everyone back in the HEAV," Ilene quickly rushed back in the vehicle followed by the others and soon they were also headed in the direction of ponyville. Ponyville:Equestria As Twilight and her friends finally made it back to ponyville they were met with partially destroyed buildings and terrified ponies running around. "What in Equestria!?" Twilight gasped. As the ponies tried to piece together what was happening, they were joined by the Monarch task force. "It's around here?" asked Bernie. "Yeah no doubt," answered Ilene. At that moment, Kong crash lands in front of them causing the ground to shake and sending Rarity flying. Thankfully Trapper quickly rushes in and catches her before she hit the ground. "You alright there madam?" Trapper asks as she looks up at him. "Oh um thank you darling," Trapper sets her down as she dusts herself off. Suddenly another roar fills the air as two buildings are demolished revealing a second more horrifying creature standing in the rubble. The creature had a crocodilian shaped snout, with two giant legs and a long thorny tail, with distinct spikes at the end of the monster's elbows. The monster roars at Kong as it's tail whips around. "Is that?" asks Bernie. "Oh yeah that's a Skull Crawler all right," said Trapper. "No not just any Skull Crawler, that's the alpha, otherwise known as the Skull Devil," said Ilene. Both Kong and the Skull Devil roar at each other before charging at one another. "We need to go, if we stay here we'll end up crushed," "But where are we supposed to go?" asked Bernie. "Hey look it's her royal majesties!" Everyone looked up as both Celestia and Luna suddenly appears and begins blasting the Skull Devil with their magic while Kong attempts to subdue the monster. "Starswirl!" Twilight and the others turn around as the other pillars joins them. "Friends, your timing couldn't be more perfect," said Starswirl. "What in Celestia's name is going on?" asked Mage Meadowbrook. "I unfortunately don't know but now's not the time to be asking questions, the princesses need our help!" said Starswirl. "Let's do our part as well girls!" said Twilight. The group of ponies turn towards the Skull Devil as Kong slams it into the ground before landing a punch to it's face with his BEAST glove. As the Skull Devil gets to it's feet, it hisses at Kong before swinging it's tail at him, but Kong quickly grabs it and slices it off with his battle axe as it let's out a wail of agony. Just as he did though, the dismembered limb suddenly began to glow in a golden glow before dissolving away into nothingness. "What?" Ilene murmured. She watched as the Skull Devil whimpered in pain, it's tail stump glowing in a golden aura. The Monarch task force watched as Starlight, the element bearers, and the pillars joined Celestia,Luna, and Kong in battle. While, Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Starlight, and Starswirl attempted to distract the Skull Devil by blasting it with their magic, the others attempted to attack the two legs hoping to knock it off balance. "Well would you look at that," Trapper chuckled as they watched the ponies combat the monster. The Skull Devil hissed at the ponies on the ground and attempted to snap at them when Pinkie aimed the barrel of her canon at it's face. "Surprise attack!" she giggled as she blasted the monster in the face with confetti. As the disoriented titan tried to recover, both Applejack and Rockhoof began bashing away at the two legs. The Skull Devil yelped in pain and, in a desperate attempt, tried to squish the ponies but not before Kong brought the axe down on it's head finishing the monster for good. "Ok that's brutal," said Bernie. They watched as the Skull Devil groaned and collapsed as the ponies cheered. "Hm, something wrong doc?" asked Trapper. "Do me a favor, watch what happens to the Skull Devil," said Ilene. Confused Trapper turns his attention towards the corpse of the titan as it begins to glow in the same golden light and dissolves away leaving behind a giant hole where the titan used to be. "Huh, is that supposed to happen?" asked Trapper. "You saw it too right?' asked Ilene. "Something seems off," She looks over to Jia who seemed to be caught in a trance of sorts. "Hey you ok?" she asks as she shakes her on the shoulder. "The Skull Devil, it's body didn't seem organic," Jia responds. "So you noticed it too," Jia nods as Ilene confirms this. She looks up as Kong walks over to them. "Stop right there!" Kong turns around as Celestia and Luna glares at him. "Don't think you can get away after all the damage you've caused," Celestia growled. "You must accept the consequences of your actions," Luna added. Both the humans and ponies watch in anticipation, as Celestia, and Luna stare down Kong. The tension continue to grow between both species. Chapter 3: A Storm is BrewingThe dust settles as Celestia and Luna prepares to take down Kong. All the while, the ponies of Equestria and the humans of the Monarch Task Force watch in anticipation. "Prepare yourself foul beast!" Luna hissed as she and Celestia began charging up another magic blast, while Kong gripped his battle axe. But just as the two alicorns was about to launch their attack, Jia quickly ran up and waved her hands in the air trying to get the two sister's attention. "Human please stand down, do not interfere!" Celestia ordered. "Wait,please wait!" Ilene called out to them as she ran to Jia's side. "We beg of you, please do not hurt Kong, he did nothing wrong!" "Kong?" asked Celestia. "Is that the name of this beast?" asked Luna. "Never mind that just who are you?" "If you would please come down, we'll explain everything," Ilene said lowering her arms. Curious but cautiously, the two began to descend as the rest of the ponies began to gather around. "Very well,we'll listen to your tale," said Luna. Ilene looked back at Jia, Trapper, and Bernie and nodded. "Alright I'll start from the beginning," Hollow Earth Access Point:The Surface Hampton quickly made her way to the monitoring room as the alarms blared. Researchers and armed soldiers were scrambling around trying to get to their respective stations. "Talk to me," Hampton said pointing to a researcher. "Godzilla's on the move again," the researcher explained. "This is the angriest he's been, he's already destroyed two more facilities," "Two more?!" Hampton sighed. "That's five down already, what's pissing him off this much?" "We're not certain," said the researcher. "And what of the Task Force?" asked Hampton. "We still haven't been able to reach them," said the researcher. "Outpost one has been trying their best but it seems nothing has worked, it's safe to assume that wherever that vortex took them, it's not of this world as that's when they lost track of the team," "Director Hampton!" she turned around to see an armed soldier running up to her. "Terrible news!" "What is it?" asked Hampton. Ponyville:Equestria "And that's pretty much the gist of everything," Ilene said. The ponies began talking amongst themselves as she finished her explanation. "We understand all the panic caused by the titan attack and we want to apologize on Kong's behalf but rest assured that he does not mean harm," said Ilene. "I suppose we can let it slide this time," sighed Celestia. "He DID protect everypony from that Skull Demon of whatever it was called," added Luna. "So what's the plan now?" "If there's anything we can do to help, then we'd be glad to lend a hoof," said Celestia. "Well I mean it's obvious we should find a way to close of that portal so no other titans can get past right?" asked Bernie. "Well actually about that, there's something that's been bothering us," said Ilene. "And that is?" asked Starlight. "After Kong killed the Skull Devil, it's body somehow vaporized into thin air," explained Ilene. "Wait did it?" asked Pinkie. "I guess we were all too busy celebrating to even notice," said Applejack. "Back on topic, the Skull Devil is an organic creature,one that Kong had killed on Skull Island in the past," explained Ilene. "The fact that it appeared, in this world let alone and that it just disappeared seems kinda unnatural," "I suppose it does leave some questions," said Twilight. "By the way Twilight, I haven't noticed until now but where's Spike?" asked Fluttershy. "He was supposed to be the changeling hive as part of business as an ambassador," explained Twilight. "All by himself!?" Rarity gasped. "I'm worried too, but he has Thorax by his side so I think he should be fine, I think," Twilight said nervously. "Back to the topic at hand, you said that the Skull Devil had vaporized into thin air after Kong killed it right?" Sunburst asked Ilene. "I was hoping we could gather some of that golden dust as a sample and study it but it seems like vanished without a trace after it's body disintegrated," said Ilene. "Uh hey what's your uh friend doing?" asked Flash Magnus asked pointing a hoof at Trapper. "Hey Trapper you alright?" asked Ilene. "Yeah, I'm just trying to see if I can get in contact with Outpost 1 or the surface but I'm not getting anything, probably because we're in a different world," explained Trapper. "I was hoping that maybe we can get one of those Monarch researchers to study this weird phenomenon but it seems like we're going to have to go back if we want to reach them," "I hate to ask you this but can you?" asked Ilene. "Yeah sure, not like I'm going to take 50 years, I'll be back with some info, in the meantime try to get along with your new buddies," Trapper waved goodbye before he hopped onto the HEAV and took off back towards the vortex in the Hollow Shades. "Well there he goes, what now?" asked Bernie. "Our original plan WAS to investigate the vortex and what was on the other side, but seeing everything that's happened I'd say our mission has changed," sighed Ilene. "Right now we need to figure out how the Skull Devil was resurrected and why it was here as well as the aftermath," "Well I guess that makes sense," said Bernie. "It might also be in our interest to find any clues that may lead to why Godzilla was acting erratically back on the surface," continued Ilene. "And we'll help with your investigations," said Twilight. "As the protectors of Equestria it's our duty to make sure all future calamities are averted," Her friends as well as the pillars and the princesses all nod in agreement as they join Twilight. "We really appreciate your efforts, thank you," said Ilene. "So where do we begin?" asked Starlight. Ilene was about to answer when she was interrupted by the cries of someone. "Twilight!!!" The group turned towards the voice as a familiar dragon came flying towards them. "Spike, you're back already?" Twilight asked. "Yeah," Spike gasped trying to catch his breath. "Wait are those?" He looks up at Ilene, Bernie, and Jia. "Yeah it's a long story, but no matter, what happened?" asked Twilight. "Ah Twilight this is bad, as I was coming back I walked past the field where we defeated Tirek,Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow, and they were gone!" Spike exclaimed. All the ponies gasped as Spike revealed the terrible news. "What about the bell?" asked Twilight. "The bell was gone too!" said Spike. "I think they might have taken it!" "Come on we need to go check this out," said Twilight. "Lead the way Spike," Spike nodded as he led the ponies, the task force, and Kong to the field that held the statue of the three villains. Apex Cybernetics Storage Facility:Hong Kong It was the dead of night and the facility was filled with armed guards as they ran about in a wild panic. "Did you find them yet?" one guard asked another. "Not yet sir!" the second guard responded. "God dammit, where the hell did they go!?" the first guard cursed under his breath. "Keep searching we'll find them!" the two soldiers went their separate ways not noticing the intruder hiding in the ventilation above them. They continued to make their way through the ventilation system as the sound of voices and footsteps of more guards ran past under them. "Find the intruder, don't let them escape with those blueprints!" one of the guards yelled. After some time, the intruder finally reached the outside and jumped down before making his way towards the HEAV hiding behind the rock. They quickly climbed in and started the engines before flying towards the massive hole leading into Hollow Earth. Fields near Canterlot Castle:Equestria The group stood in shock at what they were seeing, after having defeated Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow, they had been turned into stone statues by Celestia,Luna, and Discord as punishment but now all they saw was the pedestal and chunks of broken rocks. Grogar's bell which had also been lying nearby was also missing. "Oh I prayed it wouldn't be true," sighed Twilight. "But how did they escape?" asked Applejack. "I'm not sure, but if they escaped, then Equestria's in serious trouble," said Twilight. "Wait," The group turned towards Ilene as she communicated with Jia. "What's she saying?" asked Bernie. "She says something feels off about this whole situation," explained Ilene. "Look even Kong looks on edge," They all look up to see Kong scanning the area almost as if he was searching for something. "I mean yeah who wouldn't be nervous?" asked Rainbow Dash. "This IS the three most dangerous villains in Equestria we're talking about," "No that's not it," said Ilene. "She thinks that something else besides the three you mentioned might have been here," "Somepony else?" asked Spike. "Whoever that somepony is, they must be the culprit who freed the three," suggested Celestia. Their thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Ilene's phone began to vibrate. She pulled out her phone and the color from her face disappeared. "Um Miss Ilene?" Fluttershy walked over to her. "Another titan reading," said Ilene. "Wait another?" asked Bernie. "Yes thankfully this one is much weaker than the Skull Devil, not to mention it's dormant as of right now," explained Ilene. "It's pretty close, I can sense it," Jia said. Ilene nodded as she checked her phone again. "Hold on," Ilene said scrolling through her phone. "What is it?" asked Applejack. "I'm detecting three,heat signals, the sign of some form of life," said Ilene. "Three?" asked Starlight. "Do you think those three might be Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow?" asked Applejack. "That's a possibility," said Sunburst. "Do you know their locations?" "It's fairly close to the titan reading," said Ilene. "What?" "What is it?" asked Luna. "I've tried to pinpoint the location and it's some sort of research facility," said Ilene. "Research Facility?" asked Starlight. "Yes but you're not gonna like where it's stationed," said Ilene. "What do you mean by that exactly?" asked Rarity. "From what I can see here, the research facility is stationed, that way," she said pointing towards Canterlot. "Wait but that's!" gasped. Somnambula. "This is bad, if those three monsters are inside this research facility and facility is located in Canterlot," Twilight began to panic. "Not to mention if that titan starts moving," added Bernie. "Come friends we must make our way to Canterlot!" exclaimed Starswirl. They all nod in agreement as they quickly make their way back to Canterlot. Chapter 4: Secrets UncoveredAfter having learned that about the mysterious facility stationed in Canterlot as well as the dormant titan and the legion of doom's escape, the group rushed back to the city in hopes of finding answers. Upon reaching Canterlot, the group quickly began discussing their next plan. "First things first we need to track down and locate this facility, if anyone finds a suspicious looking building let everyone else know as soon as possible," said Ilene. 'And be wary of those three villains," Everyone nodded and split up to begin their search, however after nearly 15 minutes of no success, they decided to regroup. "So no one found anything?" asked Ilene. "I'm starting to think that this facility doesn't exist," said Starlight. "Yeah what she said," Pinkie agreed as she took a bite out of a cupcake. "You weren't even trying to help out Pinkie," said Rainbow Dash. "We tried asking around, but no dice," said Flash Sentry. "Nopony has seen anything resembling a research facility," added Mistmane. "Bernie?" Ilene asked turning towards him. "That's a negative," he sighed. "It has to be somewhere," sighed Ilene. "Hm where did Celestia and Luna run off to?" asked Applejack. "Mr. Kong isn't around here either," said Fluttershy. "They were worried about the castle so they headed back," said Twilight. "But they told us to inform them if we found anything," "As for Kong, we had to have him wait outside the city, wouldn't want to cause a panic," added Ilene. "Oh," Fluttershy let out a disappointed sigh.As the group continued to discuss, Pinkie, who had just finished up her snack, threw the wrapper on the ground near the statue of the alicorn sisters. "Seriously Pinkie?" Starlight grumbled. "What?" asked Pinkie. "You could at least throw away your trash like every other pony," Starlight sighed as she walked over to pick up the wrapper. As she picked up the wrapper, the plaque on the statue immediately caught her eye. "Huh?" "What is Starlight?" Spike asked. She narrowed her eyes to get a closer look and realized that it looked slightly off. "Starlight?" Sunburst asked as he walked over to her. Without warning, Starlight placed her hoof over the plaque and pushed it with a resounding click. She jumped back as the statue's eyes begin to glow and slide revealing a hidden passage. "A hidden passage?" asked Twilight. "How in Equestria did you do that darling?" Rarity asked. "I just pushed the plaque on the statue cause it looked strange," explained Starlight. "Wow way to go Starlight!" cheered Pinkie. "To think that such a contraption was here all along, we should report this to the sisters," said Starswirl. "Twilight I assume that you and your friends would be investigating, so we'll leave that to you, we will go inform the Celestia and Luna about this," "Thank you Starswirl," Twilight nodded as the pillars headed towards the castle. "Alright I suppose the rest of us should head down," suggested Twilight. "Be careful, we don't know what we might encounter, it's best to stay on guard," said Ilene. Twilight nodded as she began descending down the stairs with the others following closely behind. All the while they failed to notice the two hooded figures watching them from afar. Salem Unit 1:Atlanta The sky above Atlanta darkens as Godzilla absorbs the remaining bits of nuclear energy, leaving behind the charred remains of the facility. He lets out an angered roar as the nuclear energy courses through his entire body, the dorsal spines glowing in a pink hue. He snorts as he slowly makes his way towards the sea. He had already destroyed 15 of the world's nuclear facilities and was now satisfied with the power he had obtained. Now there was only one place left to go, home of Apex Cybernetics' HQ, Hong Kong. Underneath Canterlot:Equestria The doors slid open as the group cautiously stepped into the strange underground facility with Twilight in the lead. As it turns out, Ilene was right about there being a secret research facility in Canterlot, they, however, wasn't expecting it to be located underground. "Who knew that something like this was underground Canterlot," said Starlight. "It's quite damp and creepy though," Rarity whimpered. They continued walking through the dark halls until they came across a door that was slightly ajar with light pouring out. "Should we go in there?" asked Fluttershy. Twilight swallowed hard she began leading the group towards the door.She pressed her face against the side and peaked inside. "Hm doesn't look like anypony's inside," said Twilight. "In that case," Pinkie giggles as she swings the door open and hops inside despite opposition from Twilight. The others follow Pinkie's lead and find themselves standing inside a small room with a giant monitor screen illuminating the space. Underneath the screen was a desk with several computer terminals as well as stacks of books. "What is this place?" asked Spike. "It's like a monitoring room of sorts," said Bernie. "A what?" asked Rainbow Dash. "The giant monitor, it must be filled with tons of information," explained Bernie. Whoever was using these terminals must've been using it to upload confidential data," Ilene walked over and began tapping away at one of the terminals. "Hey uh should you really be doing that?" asked Applejack. "If this thing holds confidential info then surely they must have answers to some of our questions," said Ilene. The group gathered around as she tapped away. "Wait what's this?" she clicked on a folder and opened the contents. What came up were several documents on different titans. "What the hell?" Bernie mumbled. "Are those titans?" asked Starlight. "Yeah but, these files were supposed to be Monarch property, why is it here?" Ilene murmured. She continued to click through the files until one for the Skull Devil popped up. "Oh my god," "Bitch what?" Bernie murmured as he walked up to the monitor. "That's the thing Kong killed right?" asked Twilight. "Yes," Ilene nodded. She closed out of the documents and continued searching through the data. Eventually she came to another file and pulled it up. They were immediately met with the Apex logo and the blueprints of a robotic monster. "Oh shit," Ilene cursed under her breath. "That, that's the blueprints for Mechagodzilla isn't it?" Bernie asked nervously. "It's no doubt it," said Ilene. "But why is this here?" "What else can you find on here?" asked Bernie. She closed out of the documents and continued searching, eventually she came across another set of files and pulled it up. What came up was an image of Grogar's bell as well a list of it's capabilities, and a detailed analysis on the artifact. "Grogar's bell!?" gasped Twilight. "So whoever is running this place is somehow connected to the Skull Devil attack and the also possibly the culprit that freed the three villains you guys mentioned," said Ilene. "Not only that but they have possession of the Mechagodzilla blueprints from Apex," added Bernie. Ilene closes the document and attempts to continue investigating, but as she tries to open another document, she's greeted with a security lock. "Damn, it's password protected," Ilene sighs as she backs away from the monitor. "Looks like that's as far as we're going to get," "We haven't seen any signs of Tirek,Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow too," said Sunburst. "But if this guy freed Tirek,Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow doesn't that mean they're here in this facility somewhere?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Hm a sharp one aren't you?" a voice replied. The group turns towards the source of the voice as a man in a lab coat steps into the room pointing a gun at the group. "Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in," he chuckled as the group slowly stepped back,the man's fiery reddish-orange eyes glaring at them. "Whoa, whoa man now just wait a minute," said Bernie holding up his arms. The man looked towards Ilene with his gun still aimed at her. "Long time no see Dr. Andrews," he chuckled. "Who are you?" she demanded. "Aw did you forget about me Dr?" the man sneered. "Such a shame, I thought you were smarter than those other Monarch fools," "Um Miss Ilene do you know this person?" Fluttershy whimpered. "Oh she knows me very well little pony," the man sneered. "Or maybe it's appropriate to say that she's forgotten about me," Ilene takes a closer look and freezes. "No, Dr. Hawthorne?" she asks. "Ah so you DO remember me," he hisses. "Who?" asked Spike. "Dr. Tobias Willard Hawthorne, an expert crypto zoologist, ex-employee of Apex Cybernetics, and the head researcher of Monarch's Titan Division," explained Ilene. "He was the one responsible for collecting and gathering data on the numerous titans and compiling them into documents for Monarch,last time I heard, he was fired after his connections with Apex was discovered by the Director of Monarch," "Exactly," said Tobias. "But I don't understand why are you here?" asked Ilene. "Hmph you really want to know?" Tobias sneered. "Ever since Monarch tossed me aside, I've been coming up with ways to exact my revenge on them after you stole all my work," "You don't get it Tobias Monarch just didn't want the public finding out that the one responsible for gathering the data on the titans was an ex-employee of Apex after the Mechagodzilla incident!" Ilene explained. "Silence!" Tobias hissed as he pointed the barrel of his weapon at her head. "I don't want ANY of your excuses, I've sacrificed so much to help Monarch but ever since my past was revealed, all anyone sees me as is a self centered scientist that contributed to the creation of that damn robot!" "Aye man, let's just calm down alright," said Bernie. "This isn't your dispute pal so stick to your own place," Tobias sneered pointing the gun at him. "Listen Tobias I understand how you feel but you don't have to do this," said Ilene. "Hmph, so what you think trying to empathizing with me is going to save you?" Tobias growled. "Forget it,it's obvious that Monarch is trying to keep the order of nature in check by monitoring the titans, but once they see what I've got planned they won't need to worry about that and soon I'll get the recognition I deserve," "What you've got planned?" asked Twilight. "Ah yes as for your little pony friends,I do apologize that i had to drag your little pals into this mess," said Tobias. "Who are you referring to?" asked Starlight. Tobias smirked as he walked over to the monitor and opened up the security footage caught by the cameras, focusing on 4 cells containing a weakened Tirek,Chrysalis,Cozy Glow,and Sombra. "Wha!?" gasped Twilight. "It's them!" added Spike. "Sombra's there too!?" asked Applejack. "Like I said I do apologize but I really needed their magic, of course they wouldn't be in this mess if they just cooperated, but of course they had to make things hard for themselves," explained Tobias. "Wait, needed their magic, so it was YOU who took Grogar's bell?!" asked Starlight. "Mm very sharp there my little pony friend," Tobias snickered. "But why?" asked Twilight. "You're a human, what need do you have for their magic?" Tobias sighed as he turned off the monitor and faced the group, his gun still pointed at them. "Mechagodzilla was meant to be the true protector of Earth, however his power wasn't fully realized until Mr Simmons got his hands on Hollow Earth's energy," explained Tobias. "My creation however is different, Hollow Earth energy is not enough, it needs something more potent, more power and that's when I discovered this world, a world of magic," Jia swallows hard as she holds onto her mother. "I originally assumed that magic wasn't going to be enough, but when I tested my goodness what a breakthrough, the numerous capabilities, the endless possibilities, if I could feed my creation magic then surely it will become much powerful than Apex's Mechagodzilla," "That's why you stole their magic?" asked Sunburst. "I thought it would be enough, but no, I need to feed my creation more and more magic if I were to unleash it's full potential, but it seems like I won't have to search far now," he smirked as he looked at Spike and the ponies. "Normally I would have any intruders executed but seeing as a sense a great deal of magic from you, I'll save you the punishment of death and instead you'll become my creation's next power source!" He laughed as he pointed the gun at Twilight. But just before he could pull the trigger, a small object landed in between Tobias and the group before exploding and filling the room with smoke. "What the hell!?" "What's in Celestia's name?" Rarity yelped. "Psst hey," a voice called out to them. Spike turned towards the voice to see a familiar cat poking his head out from the vent. "Wha Capper?" Spike asked. "Shh, ask questions later, we can escape through here," Capper waved them over. Spike looked up at the others and nodded. "Don't think you can escape from me!" Tobias yelled as he desperately searched for Twilight and her friends.Not wanting to waste any time they all quickly followed Capper into the vents while Tobias was distracted. Once the smoke cleared out disappeared Tobias turned towards the direction of the vent. "You may have gotten away, but next time you won't be so lucky," he growled. Chapter 5: Corrupted AnguirusCapper slides the box covering the hole out of the way and climbs out before helping the others out. As everyone stops to catch their breath they look around to find themselves back above ground in Canterlot's main plaza. "That was close now wasn't it?" asked Capper. "You really saved our flanks darling thank you," said Rarity. "It's not just me you should be thanking," said Capper. Everyone looked at him with confusion when a familiar blue mare appeared before them. "Trixie!?" Starlight gasped. "I should've know, that smoke must've been your smoke bombs," said Twilight. "Indeed and a fine performance on my part if I do say so myself!" she boasted. "But how did you find us?" asked Spike. "Oh excuse for being nosy but we followed you," said Capper. "By the way who's the new crew?" Twilight and her friends quickly took the time to introduce the members of Monarch's Task Force to Trixie and Capper. "Well it's an honor to truly meet the friends of these ponies here," said Capper taking a bow. "Um introductions are nice, but shouldn't we hurry to the princesses?" asked Sunburst. "It's important that we notify them of what we've found," "Right we should get to it, let's go girls," Twilight said. But before anyone could go anywhere, the ground beneath them began to shake. "What the hay!?" Rainbow Dash yelped. As the shaking intensified, the ground in the central plaza erupted as a massive creature emerged from the hole roaring and causing the nearby ponies to run away screaming in terror. As the creature crawled out of the hole,the group was able to get a good look at the monster. The monster had resembled a turtle or armadillo with large golden spikes protruding from it's back. It had several horns on top of it's head and one small horn on it's nose, it's eyes reddish-orange eyes burned with hatred as it stomped around, attempting to crush anything that got in it's path. "It's the Armored Killer," Bernie stuttered as he stepped back. "Anguirus," Ilene said looking up at the titan. Jia stepped towards the titan as Ilene tried to pull her back. "What are you doing?" "It looks like it's in pain," Jia responded in sign language. Ilene looks up at Anguirus as it roars and violently thrashes around, the spikes on it's back glowing a brilliant golden aura. 'We have to stop this thing before it destroys the entire city!" Sunburst. "I would like to see you try," a voice snickered. The group looks over to see Tobias standing near the entrance of the secret passage, with a group of armed guards. "Tobias!" Twilight stepped back as Fluttershy quickly hid behind Starlight. "Hm, I'm glad you took it upon yourself to remember me," Tobias chuckled looking over at Twilight and her friends. "Now then if you wish to save your precious city, I would recommend you surrender without resistance," he snapped his fingers as the guards surrounded the group with their weapons drawn. "Not so fast foul human!" Tobias looked over as Celestia,Luna, and the pillars rushed in. "Princesses!" Twilight let out a sigh of relief. "Oh goodie more fodder," Tobias snickered. "Release them at once!" Luna ordered. "And if I refuse?" he sneered. "Then you will leave us no choice," Celestia and Luna approached Tobias with their horns glowing. But Tobias simply smirked as he produced a small mallet from his back pocket. "No wait don't attack him!" Twilight tried to warn the two but it was too late, as Celestia and Luna attempted to blast Tobias, he simply raised Grogar's bell and hit it with the mallet as it began absorbing their magic. The two wailed in pain before collapsing to the ground as everyone watched in shock. "NO!" Twilight rushed over to their side while Tobias laughed maniacally. "Such fools, I expected better from two ponies who call themselves the rulers," Tobias snickered. "You treacherous human," Starswirl growled. "Friends we mustn't let this one to escape," The rest of the pillars nodded as they surrounded him. "Hm, am i really the one you should be worried about?" Tobias asked. "What are you saying?" asked Somnambula. Tobias smirked and snapped his fingers as Anguirus let out a anguished roar before curling up into a ball and began rolling around destroying nearby buildings. "If you wish to protect your city, i think you better do something about that one first," he sneered. Starswirl bit his lip, clearly conflicted about what he should do. "Having trouble deciding I see, of course you can make things easier for yourself by surrendering peacefully of course," "No Starswirl you mustn't," Celestia said. "The same goes for you," Tobias said pointing his gun at Twilight and her friends. Twilight swallowed hard as she turned towards Ilene, Bernie, and Jia. "You know Anguirus isn't going to wait," Tobias reminded.Starswirl looked over at the titan that was now wreaking havoc around Canterlot. "Well what's it going to be?" "All right you win," Starswirl sighed in defeat. The other pillars looked over at him with shocked expressions. "Wise choice old friend," he smirked and raised the bell before hitting it with the mallet, absorbing his magic. The other pillars rushed to his side as he collapsed. As they tried to comfort him, Tobias struck the bell again absorbing the rest of the pillars' magic. "Now then what will the rest of you do?" Tobias asked turning towards Twilight and her friends. As Twilight tried desperately to find a solution, Starlight stepped forward and puffed out her chest. "You may have threatened the pillars into submission, but I'm afraid we're not the type to back down," said Starlight. "Yeah what she said!" said Rainbow Dash. "We've been through enough to stand up to villains like you," said Applejack. "Well that's a shame," Tobias said shrugging. "I suppose we don't have much choice," he said as the guards aimed their weapons at the group. "Farewell fools," Just as Tobias was about to execute them, there was a loud screech behind them. As Tobias turned around, Anguirus was suddenly landed hard next to them. Tobias looked up to see Kong standing there holding up his battle axe. "Whoa what in the?" Capper asked looking up at him "Mr. Kong!" Fluttershy came out of hiding, clearly happy to see him. "About time," said Bernie. As the ponies cheered, Tobias quickly used this opportunity and raised the bell at Twilight. "You're wide open there friend," he smirked. Twilight quickly turned around and stepped back as Tobias raised the mallet. "No!" Starlight quickly shoved Twilight as Tobias struck the bell absorbing her magic," "Starlight!" Trixie quickly rushed to her friends side as she collapsed. "Aww what a cute little gesture, it's sad that the only thing you've done is delayed the inevitable for your friends," Tobias laughs. "Now then as for the rest of you," he held up the bell at Twilight and her friends, but just as he was about to ring it, Jia quickly rushed up and shielded them. "What are you doing you little brat, get out of my way," Tobias hissed. But Jia instinctively shook her head. "Of all the times you decide to interfere, you do it now?" "I've seen enough, I can't keep watching," Jia replied in sign language. "She said she can't stand seeing these ponies in so much pain, Tobias, you need to stop," said Ilene. "You little interloper," Tobias growled. "Men!" The guards quickly turned their weapons on Jia. Seeing this Kong roared at Tobias in anger. "Oh shut up, why don't you play with someone your own size, you overgrown monkey," he snapped his fingers as Anguirus quickly rushed up and tackled Kong. Now with Kong distracted, Tobias turned his attention back towards the group. "Now with all interruptions gone, I'd say it's finally time to clean this up," he glares at Jia who was still standing in the way. "Oh there's nothing we can do?" asked Fluttershy. Just as Tobias was about to pull the trigger on his gun, there was a sudden change in the atmosphere that caused everyone to look up. "Oh what now?" Tobias grumbled in frustration. At that moment, something flew over their heads as a familiar voice rang out from it's loudspeaker. "Calvary's here!" As the HEAV flew past them another massive monster suddenly appeared from behind, this one resembling a giant pterosaur. 'No way, is that?"asked Bernie. "Titanus Rodan," confirmed Ilene. "Shoot it down!" his men raises their weapons and begins firing as ordered but this only seemed to anger Rodan as he descended and began plucking one armed soldier after another. "Tch," as he watched his men helplessly fight the massive titan, Tobias quickly retreated back down into his underground facility, taking the bell with him. Noticing their boss had fled, the armed guards attempted to escape but to no avail. "Hey kept you waiting eh?" Trapper chuckled as he stepped out of the HEAV to rejoin the group. "Trapper you goddamn legend!" said Bernie. "Sorry took so long, big guy just wouldn't cooperate," said Trapper. "Well you showed up just in time," said Ilene. They all looked up just as Rodan finished off the remaining guards and Kong defeated Anguirus. Jia quickly rushes towards Anguirus's side and examines his condition. Anguirus looks down weakly at Jia with his reddish-orange eyes. "I think he's sick," Jia said to Ilene as she caught up. "What's up?" asked Trapper. "Jia thinks Anguirus is sick," said Ilene. Trapper looks up at the defeated titan as he groans weakly. "Yeah he doesn't sound good either," said Trapper. "I better take a look," he said. Everyone watched as he slowly approached Anguirus and held up a strange device. "Oh wow, this is terrible," "What is it?" asked Ilene. "It's not like he's sick, more like he's corrupted," explained Trapper. "By what?" asked Ilene. "I'm not sure," answered Trapper. "I'm checking for any abnormalities and it looks like he's been injected with a black substance of sorts," "Wait what do you mean black substance. "I don't know whatever it is his blood has been contaminated by it and he's become corrupted by the substance," explained Trapper. Everyone looks up at Anguirus as he moans weakly. 'Is there anything we can do?" asked Fluttershy. "If we can somehow remove or rather cure him he should return to normal," said Trapper. "He used to be an ally of Godzilla, it'd be nice if we could get his help in all this," said Ilene. "Well Mage Meadowbrook is known to be a legendary healer," explained Fluttershy. "Not a bad idea, with her expertise, I'm sure we'll be able to help Anguirus," Twilight. "I can't guarantee anything, but I'll do what I can," she said. "Thanks for your help Mage Meadowbrook," said Fluttershy. "In the meantime, we need to go after Tobias, not only does he have everyone's magic,but also the answers to so many questions," said Ilene. "He escaped to his underground hideout again,that jerk," said Rainbow Dash. "Anybody without magic should stay here, it's far too risky to let them come with us,"suggested Ilene. "Um is it alright if i stayed here with Mage Meadowbrook and Mr Anguirus?" asked Fluttershy. "I want to help them anyway I can," "I'll stay behind as well," said Trapper. "I'll stay behind too, the Great and Powerful Trixie refuses to leave her friend's side!" Trixie beamed. "Thanks Trixie," said Starlight. "Anybody else?" asked Ilene. Everyone else shook their heads. "In that case let's head back down, Trapper you still have that radio, I'll contact you if anything happens," Trapper gave them a thumbs up as the rest of Twilight's friends and the Monarch Task Force began descending back underground after Tobias. Chapter 6: Tobias's PlotTwilight blasted down the double doors leading into the underground facility before charging in with the others following behind her. "We better hurry before Tobias gets away," said Ilene. "But how do we know where he is?" asked Spike. "Should we split up?" asked Bernie. "That wouldn't be necessary," a voice on the loudspeaker answers. "Is that?" asked Applejack. Suddenly the screen on the TV hanging above them turns on as Tobias's face pops up. "You want to get to me, just simply go down the hall and take a right, there should be an elevator there, come down to floor B4, I have something I would like for you to see," he said. "I'll see you soon, assuming you don't get lost," he laughs as the TV shuts off. "Hey don't run from us you coward!" yelled Rainbow Dash. "Well, what do you propose we do, your highness?" Capper asked. "Let's head down, Tobias wants to meet us, we might as well go see what he wants to show us," said Twilight. "Are you sure about this darling?" asked Rarity. Twilight nods as she begins to walk down the hall with the others following behind. By taking the same route as Tobias described, Twilight and her friends had eventually found themselves riding an elevator to who knows where. After a relatively quick elevator ride, they found themselves entering a long and dark corridor. At the end was another door with two armed guards standing on either side waiting for them. "That must be where he is," said Ilene. "Let's go," Twilight stepped out of the elevator and began making her way down the corridor with the others following behind. Upon reaching the door, one of the guards opened the door and signaled for them to enter. Inside they found Tobias standing in front of a large glass window with his back turned towards them. Around them were more computer terminals with several researchers working at each one. "You made it," chuckled Tobias. He turned around as they approached his, reddish-orange eyes glowing in the dimly lit room. "What do you want Tobias?" asked Twilight. "Heh, he paced as the group eyed him suspiciously. "I presume you came all the way down here to take back the magic I stole from your friends did you not?" "I don't understand Tobias, you're just a crypto-zoologist, why do you need to involve yourself in something like this?" asked Ilene. "I told you before didn't I Dr Andrews?" he said. "I need magic to fuel my creation,of course I didn't go into full detail so allow me to give you a little peek at what I've been working on ever since Monarch tossed me out," He stepped to the side and waved them over to the window. Confused the group slowly approached and looked out into what appeared to be a large empty open space. "You see Dr Andrews, before I was terminated, I devoted myself to studying the different titans that called our world home, I did everything I could to gather up information about these titans so that Monarch had something they could refer to should one of those titans go rogue especially Godzilla," Tobias explained. As he talked, they watched as something big entered the room, carried on a massive lift. It was unclear to the group as to what exactly they were looking at. "What the hell?" asked Bernie. "It was only after Monarch tossed me aside that I stole one of their HEAVs and made my way into Hollow Earth in search of answers," Tobias continued. "Sure I worked for Apex at some point but it was only after I found out their true intentions that I decided to leave them and join Monarch to find ways to stop them, of course Apex was defeated by the combined efforts of Godzilla and Kong after they destroyed the mechanized titan," As he continued, the lights in the open area lit up allowing the group to get a closer look at the thing. "I of course refused to give up, so with Apex gone, I had a new goal in mind, finish what they started," "No don't tell me," Ilene gasped. "Before I fled into Hollow Earth, I went back to Hong Kong to see if I could salvage anything from the ruined Apex facility and that's when I found Mechagodzilla's head, still intact, when I went near the thing that's when I felt it, this immense power and a voice telling me to create a second Mechagodzilla and seek out a power source that could be used to fuel the robot's power," he continued. "When I jumped back into Hollow Earth, the voice led me to the lair of Kong's tribe and from their, it told me to look behind a specific rock, when I did I discovered the vortex that led to this world, a world where magic run rampant, this was the answer I've been looking for now all I needed was to find a way to control that power luckily I found the three best candidates," "Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow," Twilight and her friends all look up at him with stunned expressions. "Those three were fools to trust me when I told them they'd have great power if they taught me how to control magic, honestly the look on their faces when I used the bell against them was priceless," Tobias cackled. "Now with the ability to control magic, I used my newfound power to transport Mechagodzilla's head, of course the original plan was to create a second Mechagodzilla but then it hit me, it wouldn't make much sense if I were to repeat the same mistakes as Apex so I came up with an alternative," "An alternative?" asked Twilight. "I don't really like the sound of that," Spike said nervously. "Instead of making a second Mechagodzilla I decided to use the original as a base and create something far more powerful, and soon with a combination of Apex Cybernetics' technology, Monarch's vast knowledge of titans, and the unlimited capabilities of Equestria's magic, I was able to give birth to a creation that would even make Apex look weak, a titan that was 10x more powerful than both Godzilla and Kong combined, and that was far more ferocious than any existing titan that was recorded in Monarch's database!" At that moment the group turned back towards the window as alarms began to blare in the open area. "That doesn't sound good," said Capper.A mechanical whirring began to fill the area as two sides of the object began to unravel revealing two large mechanical wings. Instead of membranes, the wings appeared to have a glass like material that seemed to reflect light almost like a mirror.Two long cables hung from behind with daggers at the ends. Cybernetic implants covered the entire front and ran down the thing's legs of which it had two, and it's entire body was covered in metallic coating. What appeared to be three large cables uncoiling were revealed to be the neck and head of the thing, the Mechagodzilla head having been remolded and implanted on the center head. Instead of eyes, each of the three heads had a different colored visor. On the centerpiece of the machine was a large green orb that appeared to be distributing some form of energy that ran through long circuits covering it's entire body. It was only after the thing fully stood up that Ilene finally knew what she was looking at. "Behold my ultimate creation, the true king of all titans and a harbinger of destruction!" Tobias beamed. "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah!" Subterranean Realm:Hollow Earth Godzilla stands at the edge of the cliff as he stares off into the distance. After arriving in Hong Kong he had entered Hollow Earth through the hole that he had drilled himself before facing Mechagodzilla. After tracking the strong energy surge, he had found himself standing in the subterranean realm. He sniffed the air and growled. The energy surge was getting stronger meaning he was getting closer to the source. The Nuclear energy he had absorbed from the 15 facilities coursed through his body as his anger continued to intensify. Determined to find the source he continued to track the energy surge and began making his way towards the lair of Kong's tribe. Underground Research Facility:Canterlot The group stared with stunned expressions as Tobias's creation whirred to life revealing it's true form. "This, this is why you needed the ponies' magic?" asked Ilene. "I need to magic to fuel my mecha, just as the energy from Hollow Earth was strong enough to fuel Mechagodzilla, the magic from this world is the only thing that can keep Hyper Mecha Ghidorah functioning at it's full potential," explained Tobias. "With a combination of magic and Apex's technology, it has more useful tools at it's arsenal such as teleportation, self duplication, mirroring moves,deflecting attacks, and even creating monsters," "Creating monsters, wait you don't mean," Ilene gasped. "The Skull Devil that Kong defeated, yeah that was merely a fake that Hyper Mecha Ghidorah created using the information taken from the Titan Files," explained Tobias. "So that was YOUR doing!" Rainbow Dash growled. "Oh trust me, the Skull Devil was merely a test, now that I have stolen more magic, my creation will be able perform much better than before," sneered Tobias. "However it's energy output is still far too low, now I would try and take yours, but seeing as how you simply refuse to stop resisting I decided why not steal magic from helpless creatures that simply cannot fight back?" "What do you mean?" asked Twilight. "The reason why I brought you down here instead of killing you?" Tobias smirked. "It wasn't JUST to reveal my master plan but to trap you in here," "What!?" Applejack gasped. "It seems like my little distraction worked cause you were so busy listening to me that you haven't even realized that the entire room has been empty this entire time," said Tobias. The group looked around and saw that he was right, all the researchers that were at the terminals were now gone. "Since when!?" yelped Spike. "Now then I'm quite a busy individual so I'll be taking my leave, but since I don't have time to clean up this mess, and i can't risk you all escaping, so I'm afraid I'm just going to have send this place down," Tobias pulled out a small remote and pushed the big red button as robotic voice echoed out from the speakers. "Self Destruct sequence initiated, all personnel please evacuate the building from the nearest exit, the countdown has begun, you have at least 600 seconds to escape" "You dirty jerk!" hissed Rainbow Dash. "You can insult me all you want but I suggest you try and escape before this place blows that is if you can," Tobias laughed. "Well then nice knowing you all, hope you have a nice afterlife," He pushed another button on his remote as he and Hyper Mecha Ghidorah teleported away from the facility. "The doors locked!" Rarity screamed as she tried to turn the handle. "Twilight what are we gonna do!?" asked Applejack. Twilight swallowed hard as she desperately tried to find a way out of their situation. It was only a matter of time before the facility went down, and she didn't have time to waste. There had to be a way out, there had to. Chapter 7: Campaign of DestructionThe alarms continued to blare as everyone tried desperately to find a way out, but to no avail. "We're doomed, we're all gonna die!" Rarity wailed. "Everypony calm down!" Twilight said. "How can we stay calm Twilight!?" asked Pinkie. "Uh," Twilight tried to come up with an excuse but even she knew Pinkie was right. There was no way to stay calm when they were about to go down with the facility. But just when their luck was about tot run out, Ilene's radio sparked on. "Trapper you there?" asked Ilene. "Yeah I'm here, you alright down there doc?" asked Trapper. "No, not at all, we could really use your help right about now," Ilene answered quickly. "Alright hang tight I'm coming down there," said Trapper. "Thank god this man doesn't ask questions," said Bernie. "Hold on, I'm gonna need you to stay on so I can guide you," said Ilene. "No problem doc," replied Trapper. "Facility will self destruct in t-minus 500 seconds" "Oh please hurry Mr. Trapper," said Twilight. The group waited in anticipation as Ilene gave Trapper directions to their location. All the while the countdown refused to slow down. "Alright I'm out of the elevator," said Trapper. "It's the door at the end of the corridor," said Ilene. "Facility will self destruct in t-minus 300 seconds" "Eep!" Rarity whimpered. "Just hang on Rarity, we'll be out of here soon!" Twilight said trying to reassure her friend.Thankfully it wasn't long until Trapper unlocked the door and opened it. "Hey is everyone alright?" Trapper asked poking his head in. "Oh thank Celestia!" Rarity exclaimed as she bolted out of the room. "Come on we still have time, let's get out of here!" said Ilene. They wasted no time as they made a mad dash towards the elevator. Once the elevators door opened, they quickly made a run for the exit and thankfully all managed to escape just in time. "Finally freedom!" Rarity exclaimed as she made it back into the main plaza. The others stopped to catch their breath as they made it out unharmed. "I thought we were dead," gasped Spike. Not a minute or two after everyone got out, there was a loud boom followed by a small shock wave that shook the entire city. "At least we didn't have to experience that up close," Capper said in reference to the underground explosion. "Is Everypony ok?" asked Starlight. "Seems like it, where's Anguirus?" asked Ilene. "Well the thing is," Everyone looked at Fluttershy in confusion as she began to explain to them what was happening on the surface. "What Anguirus suddenly went berserk?" asked Twilight. "Yeah old sucker just suddenly went crazy like something scared the big guy and took off with Rodan in pursuit" said Trapper. "Dr. do you think that maybe?" Ilene nodded her head. "That's the only explanation," she replied. "What do you mean?" asked Mage Meadowbrook. Ilene sighed as she began to explain, what Tobias said and the terrifying new monster he had birthed. The Great Apes' Lair: Hollow Earth The members of Kong's tribe all cowered in fear as Godzilla stepped onto their land. He was getting extremely close to the energy surge as he felt it grow stronger. As he looked around he could see the apes hiding behind rocks and boulders as they watched him cautiously. Godzilla roared as he looked at two of the apes and slowly began making his way towards them when something stepped in front blocking his path. Godzilla was all too familiar with the icy cold air that surrounded the titan. He angrily roared at Shimo as she attempted to defend the apes, but she simply responded by communicating to him in simple grunts and groans. Godzilla was clearly not happy that someone had the gall to oppose him like this, but he knew that the apes weren't his targets. His attention was quickly drawn to the sound of falling rocks and looked over to see Suko still hiding. Godzilla slowly approached the juvenile ape and glared at him as he whimpered. Suko although afraid pointed towards the tunnel where the vortex was still active. Godzilla looked up to where he was pointing and looked back down at Suko as he imitated Kong's behavior as if he was telling Godzilla that Kong had entered the vortex. Godzilla roared as he quickly rushed towards the vortex. Canterlot:Equestria "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah eh?" asked Trapper. "Um isn't it like really bad that a giant killer robot is on the loose?" asked Trixie. "Which is why we need to track down Tobias and destroy that robot before things get out of hand," said Ilene. "And HOW do we find him?" asked Rainbow Dash. "He DID mention that he was planning on stealing magic from every creature in Equestria," added Twilight. Celestia, Luna, and Starswirl all look at each other with concerned expressions. Their discussion was suddenly interrupted when Ilene's phone began to vibrate. She pulled out her phone and began scrolling when she froze. "What, what happened?" asked Bernie. "Two titans have appeared," answered Ilene. "Most likely as a result of Tobias's machine," "Where?" asked Sunburst. "It's near the Hollow Earth access point," she answered. 'Hollow what now?" asked Pinkie. "It'll take too long to explain but basically it's a massive bluish white vortex that sometimes randomly appears in certain locations. "Bluish white vortex, you mean the one in Hollow Shades?" asked Starlight. "If that's the case, then that's where Tobias might be," said Applejack. "We have to hurry, let's go girls," said Twilight. "I'll accompany you as well," said Capper. "Me too!" announced Trixie. "The rest of us should take the HEAV," said Ilene. As the ponies prepared to depart and the Monarch Task Force piled into the HEAV, Kong grabbed his axe and began making his way towards the Hollow Shades with the ponies following behind. "Sister we should go as well," suggested as Luna. "You're right Luna, we may not have our magic but we should at least be able to distract the enemy," agreed Celestia. "We'll join you," added Starswirl. The rest of the pillars nod as they followed after the others. Iwi Tribe:Hollow Earth Mothra was relaxing when she heard the horns echo through out the area. She looks up as the gelatinous barrier protecting the Iwi tribe splits open as Suko comes running in. Mothra looks over as he runs up to her and pulls on her leg while pointing outside the Iwi's village almost as if he was wanting her to follow him. Mothra moans as Suko imitates Kong and Godzilla's behavior trying to communicate with the queen. Eventually Mothra spreads her wings and takes off following after Suko as he leads her to the hidden vortex deep within the Great Apes' lair. Hollow Shades:Equestria The group finally manages to reach the Hollow Shades only to discover that the entire place was in ruins almost as if it was ravaged. Dense fog cloaked their surroundings making it difficult for anyone to see anything. "Well we made it but," Applejack tried to study her surroundings but was unable to make anything out. "Is it just me or does this place look even worse than before?" "I don't like this," whimpered Fluttershy. Kong grips his axe as tries to pinpoint where the titans were. "Even Kong's having trouble seeing in this fog," said Ilene. "But there's no mistaking it, there's something here," "But what exactly?" asked Rarity. The group freezes as they hear a faint clicking and cracking noise. "Uh did y'all hear that?" asked Applejack. They slowly huddled together as they cautiously tried to pinpoint the source of the noise in the fog. "Does anypony know where that noise came from?" asked Trixie. "I don't know and that's what I don't like about our currant situation," answered Twilight. As Kong scanned the area, he suddenly turned around and was tackled to the ground by something. The group yelped as Kong and the unidentified creature crashed to the ground. Kong managed to throw the creature off and got to his feet. As he picked up his axe he turned towards the creature as it stood up spreading it's wings and growling at him. "What in Celestia's name is that!?" Trixie yelped. The creature was soon joined by a second which was much larger and was missing wings. Both creatures were covered in a dense greyish-black hide and an elongated flat head. They both had red visor like eyes that stared them down and their hooked beak like mouths opened revealing many sharp dagger like teeth. The only difference was the winged creature was slightly slimmer and smaller than the other, but both were equally hostile and ready to attack. "Oh shit," cursed Ilene. "Um aren't those?" Bernie stuttered as he stepped back. "MUTOs," answered Ilene. "Mu what now?" asked Spike. "Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism aka MUTOs," answered Ilene. They're parasitic aliens that showed up to earth many years ago but Godzilla had defeated them back then," "Well then I suppose it's safe to assume that Tobias brought them back yeah?" asked Trapper. "Yes, more accurately Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," said Ilene. "But don't they look slightly different?" asked Rainbow Dash "I believe the winged is male and the other is female," answered Ilene. The male MUTO growled as it lunged at Kong in attempts to body slam him, but Kong quickly reacted by landing a punch to it's face sending it crashing into the ground. The female MUTO roared and charged at him, but Kong quickly grabbed it's face and drove it into the ground before bringing his fists down onto it's back. The male MUTO retaliated by jumping onto his back and attempted to bite into his shoulder with it's hooked beak. As Kong attempted to throw the male MUTO off the female MUTO got to it's feet and rammed into him. "Hey two against one isn't fair!" Pinkie yelled. "This isn't good, Kong may be an Alpha titan but even he can't take on two opponents at once," said Ilene. They watched as Kong reached over and grabbed the male MUTO before slamming it on top of the female. He then proceeded to throw the male MUTO, sending it flying and crashing into the ground. As Kong roared, the female MUTO grabbed onto him from behind and held him in place as the male MUTO began to fly, hovering right above the vortex. "This is bad, like really bad!" Trixie said as she watched in anticipation. "We need to do something before those things kills Kong," said Ilene. "Yeah but what can we do?" asked Bernie.They watched as Kong struggled to break free, just when the male MUTO prepared to attack, a giant pillar of pink energy suddenly erupted from the vortex and sent the male MUTO crashing into the ground. "What was that?" asked Sunburst. As the female MUTO released Kong to see what had happened, another titan emerged from the vortex and roared announcing it's presence to everyone. "Oh my god," Ilene gasped. "What the hell, what's he doing here!?" asked Bernie. "Is that another titan?" asked Twilight. "Not just any titan, that is the alpha, the true king of the monsters," explained Ilene. "That's Godzilla," Chapter 8: Godzilla and Kong vs. MUTOsThe group stares at Godzilla in awe as he towers over them, his magnificent pink spines glowing brightly. As he turns towards Kong, he notices the female MUTO behind him and roars angrily. "Uh is it just me or does Godzilla look more pissed off than usual?" asked Bernie. "Tobias's machine must be the cause of Godzilla's erratic behavior back on earth," Ilene concluded. "Ghidorah WAS considered to be his biggest archenemy so I wouldn't doubt it," said Trapper. "My goodness that form, I would certainly love to create an outfit for the king," said Rarity. "Now's not the time to be talking about that Rarity, look out!" Twilight pushed her out of the way as Godzilla charged at the female MUTO and tackled it to the ground. Meanwhile the male MUTO hisses at Godzilla, clearly upset it was interrupted, and charges at him but not before Kong grabs it by the wings and throws it onto the ground before pummeling it. "Thanks Twilight," Rarity let out a sigh of relief as she picked herself off the ground. "If we stay here, we'll end up squashed," said Capper. They quickly ducked as Godzilla grabs the female MUTO by one of her legs and throws her sending her flying right above their heads. Godzilla roars as he jumps up and lands on top of the female MUTO. He opens his jaw and bites down on one of it's legs before tearing it right off and throwing it to the side as the female MUTO screeches in pain. Seeing this the male MUTO quickly knocks Kong back and flies up latching itself onto Godzilla's back. "Were those things always this aggressive?" Bernie asked as the MUTOs attempted to subdue Godzilla. "It must be the influence of Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," said Ilene. "Hey look!" Applejack pointed towards the dismembered limb as it begins to glow in a brilliant golden light before vanishing. "Just like the Skull Devil," said Ilene. They all look up as Godzilla roars and throws the male MUTO off his back. The male MUTO growls and spreads it's wings and lunges at Godzilla but ends up eating a knuckle sandwich from Kong as he throws a punch at it's face with his B.E.A.S.T. glove. Godzilla turns around to see the female MUTO standing up as it limps towards him. "Stubborn things aren't they?" asked Trapper. "But neither Kong nor Godzilla is the type to back down from a fight," said Ilene. "Yeah get 'em mess them up!" cheered Pinkie. They continue to spectate as Godzilla swings his tail around slamming it into the female MUTO knocking it back down before running over and grabbing it by another set of legs and throwing it at the male MUTO as it was getting up knocking both MUTOs down. Kong quickly makes his move and swings his axe, driving the blade deep into the female MUTO's side before kicking it away. The male MUTO roars as it latches onto his back, but Kong quickly throws it off and chops off one of it's wings with his axe. The male MUTO roars as it's wings disintegrates like the female MUTO's leg. "Ouch yeah that sounded like hurt," Applejack winced as the two titans continued to go at the alien parasites. "It's a good thing that these things are just fakes otherwise I'd actually feel bad for them," joked Trapper. "Still pretty barbaric though," sighed Rarity. "They don't call Godzilla the King of the Monsters for no reason," said Ilene. The male MUTO stumbles about trying to escape Kong but only makes it a few feet before Kong grabs it by the leg and throws it at Godzilla who launches it back at Kong with his tail. Kong raises his B.E.A.S.T. glove and throws a punch at the male MUTO sending it sliding across the ground. Meanwhile the female is limping away trying to escape in order to recover from it's wounds, but Godzilla quickly intercepts it and grabs it by the face before slamming it into the ground. As the female MUTO struggles to get back on it's feet, Godzilla opens his jaw as his body and eyes begins to glow in a pink aura. "Oh boy here it comes," said Bernie. "Huh what's coming?" asked Pinkie. Within seconds, Godzilla fires a stream of pink energy at the female MUTO as it tries to crawl away. "Whoa!" Rainbow yelps. "Such raw power, I've never seen anything like this!" Sunburst exclaims. The female MUTO leaps out of the way as Godzilla nearly scraps it's back with his atomic breath. But before it could get back up, Kong rushes in and tackles the female MUTO. Godzilla catches the female MUTO and lifts it up before bridging it onto it's back in a suplex. The male MUTO notices this and rushes over to help it's female counterpart, but Kong notices it approaching and kicks it back down before jumping on top of it. As the male MUTO struggles to escape, Kong grabs it's hooked beak and pries it open and with one final roar, he bends it's upper jaw back followed by an audible snap. "Ouch," Spike whimpered as he cringed at the sound. "Ugh," Rarity turns away covering her eyes from the awful sight. The ponies shiver at the horrible sight as Kong climbs off the now dead MUTO. "That's Kong for ya," said Trapper. They watched as the male MUTO began to glow in the same golden aura before disintegrating into a cloud of gold dust. "One down, one more to go," said Ilene. They turn towards Godzilla as he forcefully stomps on the female MUTO as it scrambles to escape. Godzilla grabs the female MUTO and just like Kong pries it's hooked beak open before opening his jaw as his entire body begins to glow. "Ah I can't watch," Rarity said covering her eyes again. As the female MUTO lets out a panicked screech, Godzilla fires his atomic breath directly into the MUTO's mouth. The MUTO falls limp as it's head detaches from it's body. Godzilla throws the MUTO's head on the ground before roaring towards the sky. "Good thing he's on our side," said Bernie. As Godzilla removes his foot off the MUTO, the body and head begins to glow before disintegrating leaving both him and Kong the last ones standing. "Ugh do they have to be so barbaric?" asked Rarity. "In a situation like this it really can't be helped," said Ilene. "Well that's that, now what?" asked Capper. "Now we stand and fight!" exclaimed a voice. The group turns around to see Celestia, Luna, and the pillars running over to them. "Fear not, we have arrived!" beamed Luna. "We may not have our magic but we'll do everything we can to defeat the threat!" added Celestia. "You lizard, we will not allow your destructive nature to go unchecked!" Starswirl pointed a hoof at Godzilla. "Talk about terrible timing," said Rainbow Dash. "Um Princess Celestia," Twilight walked over to them. "Don't worry Twilight we'll handle this!" said Celestia. "Actually Princess Celestia, the threat has already been neutralized," Twilight quickly added. "What are you talking about Twilight Sparkle?" asked Luna. "That 'giant lizard' is the one that defeated the threat," Twilight answered. "What that cannot be," said Starswirl. "Actually yeah, you guys are too late," said Rainbow Dash. "Well this is slightly awkward," said Luna. "Well at least you won't have to worry about anymore random monsters showing up," said Pinkie. "Actually I wouldn't be so sure," said Ilene. "I've picked up on another titan, this time it's coming from a nearby forest not too far from the village," "Forest not too far from the village, isn't that?" Applejack asked. "It's the Everfree Forest," said Twilight. "Well then onward friends to the Everfree Forest!" exclaimed Luna. "This time we won't miss our chance!" added Celestia. With that both the sisters and pillars quickly headed back to ponyville. Godzilla looks at Kong and roars before turning around and begins heading in the direction of ponyville with Kong following closely behind. "We should get going too," said Ilene. "Right," Twilight and her friends began heading towards the Everfree forest as the Monarch Task Force piled into the HEAV and followed after the others. Chapter 9: The Rose Beast of the Everfree ForestTwilight and her friends had finally made it to the entrance of the Everfree Forest where they found Celestia, and Luna arguing with each other while the pillars discussed amongst each other. "Oh great now what are they arguing about?" groaned Spike. They looked up as the HEAV descended and landed several yards away from them. "What's the hold up?" asked Ilene. "We got a bit of a problem," said Starlight pointing at the sisters. "And I told you sister, that you should've checked with them but no you insisted on getting here as fast as possible!" Celestia yelled. "And I told YOU to make sure you knew what were supposed to be looking for!" Luna argued back. "Um Princess Celestia?" Twilight approached them nervously. "Oh Twilight perfect timing!" Celestia chirped. "For what exactly?" asked Applejack. "Well you see we're kinda lost on what exactly we're supposed to be looking for because Luna forgot to ask what this monster looks like," explained Celestia. "Excuse me sister, but it was YOU who insisted on getting here!" Luna hissed. "Seriously that's what they're arguing about?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Well to be frank your highness I can't say that neither of you are to blame," added Ilene. "I only said that a titan was 'detected' but my app doesn't say what exactly the titan is so truth be told none of us really know what exactly we're looking for," she held up her phone. "See sister even THEY have no idea what to look for so it's not entirely MY fault," said Luna. "Ugh fine, I'm sorry ok?" Celestia groaned. "Now then, since that's all cleared up, let's try and find this thing," said Capper. Ilene checked her phone and looked up. "It's pretty deep in, but it seems to be in an open area somewhere in the center of the forest," she explained. "Lead the way," said Twilight. They began to enter the forest led by Ilene as she followed the readings. As they navigated through the forest they eventually came upon a familiar looking pony on the ground. 'Is that a Zebra?" Bernie asked poking his head out from behind. "Zecora!?" Twilight gasped as she ran over to her. "Zecora are you alright?" the zebra weakly looks up at her and groans. "Twilight Sparkle, you must not stay, or you'll be the next prey," "Zecora what happened?" asked Twilight. "The beast with three heads, it stole my magic and fled," Zecora groaned. "The beast with three heads," Twilight looked back at Ilene with a concerned expression. "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," she watched as Zecora collapse on the ground. "It seems like we were too late," said Sunburst. "We have to hurry, if Tobias created another titan, who knows how much damage it could cause," said Ilene. They continued to walk as Twilight slowly hid Zecora's body behind some shrubs. "Hang in there Zecora we'll get your magic back," Twilight murmured as she ran after the others. As they continued to walk, Twilight and her friends began to notice a large amount of garbage littering the ground. "Uh is it just me or has the forest gotten dirtier?" asked Applejack. "Ugh must be those filly guides littering again," groaned Rainbow Dash. The pillars started to slow down as Starswirl began to cough. "Starswirl are you alright?" asked Mistmane. "I'm fine, it's just so hard to breathe all of a sudden," coughed Starswirl. "Now that you mention it, it does seem like air has become scarce," coughed Sunburst. "And what is that hideous smell?" asked Rarity. "Ugh doesn't smell pleasant that's for sure," Luna said sniffing the air.The group pushed forward despite the discomfort and after several minutes of walking, they found themselves in an open area where a towering plant was stationed at the center. The plant was just a clump of moss,leaves,and vines growing out of the ground. Near the base was a massive sack glowing in a yellowish-red light. At the very top a large red rose sprouted from the many leaves. "Oh wow," said Capper. "Oh my how gorgeous!" Rarity squealed. "I've never knew such beautiful plants could grow here," said Starlight. "I mean they don't call this place the Everfree Forest for nothing," said Trixie. "I hate to break it to you ladies, but I'm afraid I wouldn't get close to that thing if I were you," said Ilene. "That's our titan friend we were searching for," "What, this thing?" asked Luna. "I find it hard to believe that a rose would be dangerous darling," said Rarity. "No, no that's not just any rose, that's Biollante, otherwise known as the flower beast," said Bernie. As he said that, several large vines suddenly erupted from the ground as the rose slightly tilted towards the group revealing a small jaw in the center lined with sharp teeth. "On second thought maybe it's not so harmless," said Rarity. They quickly dove out of the way as the vines came crashing down and began flailing around as if it was trying to swat them away. "Is everyone alright?" asked Trapper. "Wait where's Jia?" asked Ilene. 'Up there!" said Spike pointing up. They all looked to see Jia being lifted up by Biollante's vine. "Jia!" Ilene got to her feet as she watched Biollante lift her daughter up. "I'll get her!" said Rainbow Dash. But before she could go save her, a loud roar echoed throughout the forest as Kong suddenly lunged at Biollante and punched her rose causing the vine to unravel and dropping Jia. Twilight quickly ran underneath her and broke her fall using her magic. Ilene quickly rushed to her side and embraced her with a sigh of relief. Biollante hissed at Kong as he beat his chest. "Sister now's the time to lend our strength!" said Luna. Celestia nodded as they both surrounded Biollante. At that same moment, Godzilla makes his presence known with his signature roar as he joins Kong by his side. But as he does, Biollante lets out a whimper almost as if she was afraid of Godzilla. "Girls we should help out as well," suggested Twilight. Her friends nod in agreement as they surround Biollante. Now having been completely cornered, Biollante's vines suddenly stops flailing around as they slowly go limp. "Um girls?" Fluttershy turns towards her friends clearly hesitant. "Something's wrong, I've never seen any titan act like this," said Ilene. Jia begins to communicate to her mother in sign language. "Wait what she say?" asked Trapper. "She says Biollante's scared," Ilene answered with in a confused tone. "Scared of Godzilla?" asked Bernie. "No something else," said Ilene. That's when her phone vibrates again. She pulls it out and opens the app on her phone. "What?" She looks back up at Biollante as it groans weakly. Godzilla roars as he prepares to attack but just as he rushes forward, Fluttershy flies up to his face and holds out her arms. "Wait please wait!" she pleads with Godzilla and much to everyone's surprise, he stops in his tracks and glares at her snorting. "Fluttershy what are you doing?!" asked Twilight. "Twilight something's not right, look!" Fluttershy points at Biollante as she whimpers and groans her vines hangs limply in the air. "We can't attack it when it's not even fighting back," "But we can't just leave it alone," said Twilight. "I know but," Fluttershy sighed. "Everyone wait, something's coming," said Ilene. "Wait what?" asked Trixie. "Is it another titan?" asked Starlight. Then as if on cue, a horrible smell began to fill everyone's nostrils causing them to cough, all the greenery in the area began to wither and Biollante whimpered as her vines began to shrivel up. "What the hay's going on?" Rainbow Dash coughed. "Can't breathe," Twilight gasped. "What is that stench?" Rarity coughed. Even Kong and Godzilla looked uncomfortable as the smell intensified, "It smells like rotting flesh," Bernie coughed. Godzilla growled as his body began to glow before firing a stream of his atomic breathe towards the sky which immediately caused the smog to dissipate allowing everyone to be able to breathe normally again. "Oh thank Celestia," gasped Trixie. "I thought we were gonna die," said Rarity. But their sense of relief was short lived as Biollante let out a weakened groan. "Hey what's wrong?" Fluttershy asked. Then without warning Godzilla let out another angry roar at Fluttershy and Biollante. "Fluttershy I think you made him angry," Applejack. "Uh I don't think that's what he's roaring at Applejack," said Rainbow Dash. Confused, Fluttershy looked past Biollante and in the same direction that Rainbow was staring to see another giant monster heading in their direction. The monster seemed to take on a humanoid shape and was covered in layers of gray kelp like surfaces. It's eyes had gold and black irises and red scleras. With every step the monster took the trees and greenery withered and died. "What the hay is that?" asked Fluttershy. "What is it what do you see?" asked Applejack. "I don't know, it looks like another monster but it's covered in like gray seaweed," explained Rainbow Dash. "Gray seaweed?" asked Trixie. "I think I know what she's talking about," said Ilene. "If what she said is true, then that would explain that horrible smell and all the trash we saw on the way here," "Oh no you don't mean," said Trapper. "It's the only possible explanation," said Ilene. She taps on the screen before holding up her phone to Rainbow Dash. "Does it look like this?" Rainbow Dash took one glance and nodded. "Yeah exactly like that!" she exclaims. "I thought so," said Ilene. "Wait I'm not following what monster is it this time?" asked Spike. Ilene held up her phone to show the group the data. "Hedorah the Smog Monster," Chapter 10: Vs. HedorahAfter having defeated the two fake MUTOs created by Hyper Mecha Ghidorah, Godzilla and co. had made their way to the Everfree Forest where a second titan was rumored to have appeared. Upon arrival they had found the forest to be littered with trash and obscured by a dense smog. There they found a the rose beast Biollante who attacked them on sight, however after the group realized that Biollante was weakening due to the lack of fresh air, the smog monster Hedorah revealed itself to be the true culprit behind the toxic air production. Godzilla growled as Hedorah slowly made it's way towards them, leaving a trail of withering dead plants in it's wake. "So that's the monster behind the liter in the forest eh?" Capper asked as Ilene pulled up Hedorah's data on her phone. "That has got to be one of the most rancid thing I've ever seen in my life!" said Rarity. Twilight and Starlight looks up at Biollante as she lets out a weakened groan. It was becoming clear that Biollante was suffering due to this toxic monster. "Oh poor thing," Fluttershy sighed as sh tried to comfort the rose monster. "It's not just Biollante who's suffering," said Ilene. Twilight and her friends turned around to see Starswirl and Mistmane coughing violently. "We need to get rid of Hedorah or else nothing will get out of this forest alive," "Then let's send that creep back where it came from!" said Rainbow Dash. She flew up to join Godzilla and Kong along with Fluttershy, Twilight, Spike, Celestia,Luna, Flash Magnus, and Somnambula. Hedorah let out a disgusting gurgled roar as it continues to approach Biollante. "Alright trash heap you're about to get a face full my hooves!" Rainbow Dash boasted as she began circling Hedorah causing it to stop and look around as if confused. Once she had it distracted she threw herself at Hedorah and attempted to kick it down only to end up splatting face first into Hedorah's grimy body. She pulled herself away completely covered in sludge. "Eww!" as she tried to clean herself off, Hedorah swatted her with it's slimy hand sending her crashing into the ground in a pile of sludge. "Well that didn't work out the way we hoped it would," said Applejack. Kong roars as he charges and throws a punch at Hedorah only for his fist to go through it's body. Hedorah emits a high pitched sound almost as if it was laughing at Kong's miserable attempt. Kong pulls his fist out to find it covered in black sludge. He sniffs and yelps almost as if he was disgusted by the stench. As Kong tries to clean his hand Hedorah produces a gurgling sound before hurling a ball of black sludge at him. Thankfully, Kong's reflexes kick in and he quickly rolls to the side as the ball of sludge lands in some trees causing it dissolve into a pool of bubbling toxic slime. "That thing spits out acid!?" Twilight gasps. "Calm down Twilight, I'm sure we'll be fine as long as we avoid it," Luna said nervously. After seeing how Kong failed to damage Hedorah, Godzilla opened his jaw as his body began to glow. All the while Hedorah continued to slowly make it's way towards them. Biollante whimpers as her leaves began to wither. "Oh it's ok everything's going to be alright," Fluttershy cooed trying to comfort Biollante. She looked up as Godzilla let loose a stream of his atomic breath at Hedorah triggering an explosion. "Haha fare thee well foul beast!" cheered Luna. "Uh Luna," Celestia pointed forward to reveal that Hedorah had somehow survived the attack with no scratches or bruises. "It didn't do anything!" Fluttershy whimpered. Hedorah laughed as it began waving it's arms in a flowing motion as if it was taunting them. "Ah, what such condescending attitude," scoffed Luna. Kong roared as he swung at Hedorah with his axe but to no avail.Once again Hedorah laughed at their futile efforts. "You know of all the monsters we've seen this one has to be the most annoying," groaned Rainbow Dash. "But this is bad, if we can't damage it how are we supposed to get rid of it?" asked Fluttershy. Godzilla attempted to fire another blast of his atomic breath but Hedorah simply took the hits and continued approaching the group. "Nothing's working," said Bernie. "But there has to be something we can do right?" asked Trixie. They watched as Kong grabbed Hedorah from behind in attempts to slow it down, but Hedorah simply sprayed him in the face with it's toxic fumes causing Kong to reel back and gag from the horrible smell. As Hedorah continued to close distance it suddenly turned it's attention towards Godzilla and fired a crimson beam from it's eyes, striking Godzilla in the chest and setting his flesh on fire. Godzilla let out a cry of agony and stumbled back from the attack. "Oh no this isn't good," said Trapper. But Hedorah wasn't done,once it was close enough it spewed out several chunks of black sludge at Godzilla which not only severely burned him but also decreased his mobility making it extremely difficult for him to move. As Godzilla struggled to escape, Hedorah simply laughed as it watched him suffer. "No, no, no this is bad, we have to do something," said Starlight. "But what can do?" asked Applejack. Hedorah finally reached Biollante towering over the wounded Godzilla and began charging up another blast. Just when the group though it was over, a large object suddenly came flying out of nowhere and slammed into Hedorah knocking it back away from Godzilla. "What was that?" asked Sunburst. They looked up as the object landed next to Godzilla and uncurled revealing Anguirus standing next to his ally. "Anguirus!?" Ilene gasped as the titan roared at Hedorah. Another cry rang out as Rodan descended from the sky, hovering above the ground next to Anguirus. "Rodan too?" asked Trapper. "It'd be a shame if you forgot about me," a voice added. The group looked up as a pony jumped off of Rodan's back. The pony had a purple colored coat and a magenta mane.She had a scar over her right eye and her unicorn horn was completely broken. "Tempest!" Twilight flew down to her with a smile of relief. "Twilight, it's good to see you again," she said walking over to her. "What are you doing here and how'd you find us?" asked Twilight. "Well it's a bit of a long story but I don't think now's the time for that," said Tempest. Twilight looked up as Hedorah got to it's feet and hissed at the two as they protected Godzilla. "Wait wasn't Anguirus infected with something?" asked Bernie. "It was but I'm not getting any abnormal readings, I'm not sure what exactly happened but it looks like he's back to his normal self," said Trapper. "Heck yeah let's go turtle boy!" Pinkie cheered. "Well actually it's more like an armadillo," chuckled Trapper. "About time we got some backup," said Flash Magnus. "You can count on me to take out the trash," Tempest said as got into battle stance. Hedorah roared as it angrily hurled a chunk of black sludge at them, but Rodan fired a blast of condensed air sending the sludge flying back at Hedorah. With the smog monster completely distracted, Rodan grabbed Anguirus by the tail and lift him up before dropping him right on top of Hedorah flattening it. It quickly rolled out of the way as Rodan fired a blast of radioactive flame and setting it's right arm on fire. As Hedorah desperately tried to put out the flames, Tempest used her magic to coat Anguirus's shell with electricity as he curled up and rolled towards the titan at full speed. With the fire out, Hedorah turned it's attention towards Rodan but before it could make a move, it was struck in the back by Anguirus's shell. Hedorah yelped as it was zapped leaving it temporary stunned. "Hmph easy as pie," Tempest snickered. "Wow Tempest, you've grown since the last time we met," said Capper. "i appreciate the compliment but we're not done yet," said Tempest. "It's time to send this trash heap back to the garbage dump where it belongs. Tempest begins to charge up her next attack while Rodan, grabs Hedorah and lifts it in the air before dropping it. Right before Hedorah hit the ground Anguirus turns around and slams his shell into the smog monster not only shocking it but also sent it flying towards Tempest who then uses her opportunity to fire a blast of electricity from her horn, electrocuting Hedorah as it squeals in pain. The group watches as Hedorah begins to dry up. "Aww yeah that was awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "We really couldn't have done it without you, thank you Tempest," said Twilight. "I'm glad I could be of use," said Tempest. Suddenly, the dried up remains of Hedorah begins to glow before disintegrating like past enemies. "Looks like that's another titan down," said Ilene. Once Hedorah was gone, Biollante's vines and leaves returned to normal. "Biollante's back to her normal self too," said Trapper. "Yeah but Godzilla took a serious beating from that fight," said Bernie. "Why don't we take a break, give Godzilla time to recover?" suggested Ilene. "We still have to thank and introduce ourselves to our friend here," Tempest smiled as she and the Monarch Task Force introduced themselves. "It's a pleasure meeting you here," said Tempest. "By the way Tempest don't you owe us an explanation?' asked Twilight. "Right, I guess I should start from the beginning," said Tempest. Everyone gathered around Tempest as she began telling her side of the story. "I'm honestly not sure what's happening right now, but I was in Canterlot investigating the source of the shock waves when I found a secret passage hidden underneath a pile of rubble. I entered and found the remains of a strange facility I've never seen before," "A strange facility," Twilight repeated. "Even though I found what I believe is to be the source, my curiosity got the better of me, I wanted to learn more about what the place was and went in deeper, there I found something that made my blood boil," "Was it the cells holding Chrysalis, Tirek, Cozy Glow, and King Sombra?" asked Starlight. "No," answered Tempest. "I did see four cells but they were empty, however I believe what I found is much more concerning," Everyone looked at each other with worried expressions. "What do you mean?" asked Sunburst. "Twilight you and your friends remember what happened to the Storm King after I sacrificed myself for you right?" asked Tempest. "Well yeah," answered Twilight. "Well I found the remains of his statue in one of the labs," explained Tempest. "What!?" Twilight gasped. "You can't be serious, Tobias has the Storm King's statue?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I have a bad feeling about this, I don't know what Tobias was planning on doing with the Storm King but it couldn't have been good," said Twilight. "Is there anything else we should know?" "Well I got out of there as fast as I can cause I felt it'd be important to inform you about this, but when i made it out, those two were going at each other," she said pointing towards Anguirus and Rodan. "I didn't want to take any chances getting caught in the middle two giant animals fighting so I tried to make a run for it, but the armadillo noticed me and came after me without hesitation, I had no choice but to defend myself and electrocuted him," "You zapped Anguirus?" asked Twilight. Tempest nodded and continued. "I could've sworn that by shocking him, he was going to get even more aggressive but surprisingly after shocking him, he became extremely docile and calmed down," "Wait Mr. Anguirus calmed down after you shocked him?" asked Fluttershy. Tempest nodded as Twilight and her friends looked at Ilene. "I can't say for sure that I have any idea what's going on, but if Tempest's story is true, than Tobias definitely needs to be stopped ASAP," said Ilene. Everyone nodded in agreement as Ilene pulled out her phone. "It doesn't look like any more titan readings has been picked up, why don't we take a little break, I'm sure both Godzilla and Kong are beat after the constant fights, in the meantime, let's catch each other up, I'm sure Tempest wants to know what's currently going on and we need more info on this 'Storm King' if we're going to stop Tobias," And so everyone nods their heads as they gather around Biollante's base to discuss future plans. Chapter 11: Titan Battle Royale Part 1After being nearly overpowered by Hedorah, Godzilla lay down for some much needed rest while Mage Meadowbrook tended to his injuries. Meanwhile, Tempest and Ilene exchanged information with each other. "I see, so this Tobias is the one responsible for everything that's happened," said Tempest. "That's pretty much the gist of it," said Ilene. "If that's the case, i don't understand why he would need the remains of the Storm king's statue," said Tempest. "This IS Tobias we're talking about," said Trapper. "Whatever he plans on doing, it can't be good," The group jumps as Godzilla howls in pain. "I'm sorry Mr Godzilla but you need to stop moving," Mage Meadowbrook sighed as she attempted to calm Godzilla down. "It seems like Mage Meadowbrook isn't having much luck," said Sunburst. They looked up to see Fluttershy feeding fresh water to Biollante. "So what's your plan now?" asked Tempest. "It's not like Tobias is going to randomly decide to show himself," Then as if on cue, Spike belches as a letter emerges from the flames. "A letter?" Twilight walked over and unraveled the scroll as she began to read. "It's from Cadence!" Twilight gasped. "What's it say?" asked Starlight. "She said there were sightings of a monster in the frozen north and it's causing a panic in the Crystal Empire so she wants us to hurry on over to ask for our help," said Twilight. "But Mr Godzilla isn't fully healed yet," said Fluttershy. "Leave him to us, the Crystal Empire requires your aid!" said Mage Meadowbrook. "We'll accompany you as well," said Celestia. "If it's another titan we should be there with them," said Ilene. Twilight and her friends huddled around as she used her teleportation spell to warp them out of the forest while the Monarch Task Force piled into the HEAV and took off, leaving the pillars to tend to Godzilla and the other titans. Upon arrival, Twilight and her friends were greeted with a sense of dread and unease. Not a single crystal pony was out walking and the streets were swarming with guards. "What the hay?" asked Rainbow Dash. "What happened here?" asked Capper. "I don't know but I'm sure Cadence will be able to provide some insight on what's going on," said Twilight. "Hey look," Applejack pointed up to see the HEAV coming to a stop before descending. "What the hell?" Bernie asked as they walked out. "So this is the crystal empire, kinda reminds me of the Iwi tribe back in Hollow Earth," said Trapper. "How did you find us?" asked Starlight. "Easy we just went north and saw you all gathered around," said Trapper. "Wow he's good," said Capper. "Never mind that, these ponies need help right?' asked Ilene. "Ah right, come on let's head to the castle," said Twilight. The task force followed after Twilight and her friends as they lead them to the castle. Twilight and her friends wasted no time as they rushed to the throne room where Cadence and Shining Armor and Cadence were waiting. "Twilight you made it!" Cadence gasped. "Cadence is everything alright?" Twilight asked. "Oh Twilight, it's horrible, everything's a mess," said Cadence. "Calm down Cadence just explain to us what happened," said Celestia. "Celestia, oh thank Equestria you're here, it's terrible, a group of crystal ponies went up to the frozen north and came back absolutely terrified claiming to have seen a massive three headed monster that was wreaking havoc near the summit," explained Cadence. "A three headed monster, Miss Ilene isn't that?" Sunburst asked looking in her direction. "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," Ilene nodded. "Hyper what now?" Shining Armor looked at them with a confused expression. "Um Twilight are those?" Cadence asked. "Yes they're humans, it's a long story but I can assure you that they're on our side," Twilight explained. "I see well i suppose now's not the time to be asking questions, if they can help us we would gladly assist them," said Cadence. "In that case, do you have any idea if this monster's still up on the mountain?" Ilene asked. "Well I-" But Cadence's statement was suddenly interrupted by a loud mechanical roar. "That didn't sound good," Applejack swallowed hard. Suddenly a loud bang rang out through the castle as the doors to the throne room swung open and a familiar figure entered. "Look like I found you," Tobias sneered. "Tobias," Twilight growled as her friends turned to face him. "To think that my little bait worked, you truly are more naive than i thought," Tobias snickered. "Bait?" asked Spike. "What you thought that I was just going to announce my presence that easily?" asked Tobias. "It's a little too early for that isn't it?" "What do you mean?" asked Ilene. "I know what you've been up to Dr Andrews, honestly to think that you were able to not only destroy Hedorah and the MUTOs but to also free Anguirus from my control, you've proved to be quite annoying," Tobias hissed. "Well I mean you DID technically provoke Godzilla," said Bernie. "That overgrown lizard didn't do everything, I know you've been using that girl to ask that monkey for help, and on top of that you've gotten that chicken involved as well" growled Tobias. "And now you're going as far as to tend to his injuries, you truly have no shame, filthy sewer rats," "That would be our line you fiend, you polluted the Everfree forest and used that poor rose as bait for that trash heap and now you're dragging an entire kingdom into your machine's destructive rampage for your own selfish goals," hissed Luna. "Hmph say what you will, but I'm afraid this is where your attempt to save this world ends, you thought i would show myself to face you?" he sneered. "Allow me to present a little surprise I've been saving for you," He pulled out another remote and pushed a button as an explosion takes out a huge chunk of the castle wall giving them a view of the crystal empire. "You see I've been watching your every movement since I destroyed the capital, and saw how both Kong and Godzilla handled the MUTOs while Rodan was pursuing Anguirus," he explained. "Sure Kong and Godzilla was able to overpower the two aliens but during the battle with Hedorah, I saw just how badly they struggled, and of course Rodan and Anguirus came to their aid but considering how the two were at each other's throats, surely by the time they faced Hedorah they would be drained of energy, and sure enough I was right," He stepped to the side so that the group could see Hyper Mecha Ghidorah towering over the city as the guards attempted to fight off the threat. "But now with Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus all out of commission for the time being, there's nothing you can do to save this kingdom, the four villains I kept as prisoners, plus the fifth one that was still petrified, well let's just say that they had other uses to them besides their magic," "What are you implying?" asked Twilight. "You see after I intentionally destroyed that underground facility, I had my team escort them out," explained Tobias. "You kept them alive?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Of course, but only because I had other plans for them," said Tobias. "Other plans?" asked Applejack. "You see Hyper Mecha Ghidorah has the ability to create copies of Godzilla's former rivals however there is one other function I hadn't mention to you yet," said Tobias. "During the mecha's construction I had taken DNA samples of those five hoping it might come in use and sure enough they did," "Is that why you had kept the Storm King's statue in your lab?" asked Twilight. "Hmph about time you figured it out," said Tobias. "Using the five DNA samples I've taken, I fed them into my mecha's data system and saved them for when the time was right, and now, by combining the data from the Titan Files and the DNA samples my mecha was able to give birth to five new creations," He snapped his fingers as the left and right heads on the mecha turned to their respective sides and fired a blue holographic beam downwards and slowly moved up as two holographic figures were created. Finally the two heads zapped their creations with a magic blast from their visor like eyes,bringing the two creatures to life. The two heads repeated the process creating two more copies while the center head carried out the process only once, creating a total of five new monsters. "Behold my newest creations!" Tobias announced. "Ok this is definitely bad," said Rainbow Dash. "Allow me to introduce you to them," said Tobias. He pointed to the monster on the far left which seemed to resemble King Ghidorah but instead of the usual golden yellow scales it was black. This version of Ghidorah also had red eyes with green irises and hazy purple smoke flowing out. "By combining the titan data of Desghidorah and King Sombra, I was able to create a version of Ghidorah that could not only phase through walls and obstacles like smoke, but also create crystals that could be used as a form of defense or offense thus I have dubbed this monster Shadow Ghidorah," Next he pointed to the monster on the far right. This monster sported a large saw on his frontal abdomen and had two massive steel hooks in replacement for hands and smaller ones for toes. It had a tail with spikes running down and three sail like fins on it's back with a single red visor for it's eyes. Just like Rodan the monster had a beak instead of a mouth and had a bright red coat with two large black horns that protruded from it's head. "By combining the titan data of Gigan and Tirek I was able to create a monster with a large arsenal of attacks but also with the ability to absorb magic from living beings, thus I have dubbed this monster Tirgan," "Oh sweet Celestia no," Twilight swallowed hard as her memories of fighting the two started flowing back. He pointed to the monster on the left which resembled a cross between Godzilla a giant dragonfly. It had a thick black skin covered with green spikes and a head that appeared more reptilian than insect. It had a long tail with a massive stinger at the tip and two mandibles. "For this one, I have combined the titan data of Megaguirus and the DNA of Queen Chrysalis creating a monster that has high agility and possess the power to shapeshift, thus I have dubbed this monster Chrysaguirus," He then points to the monster on the right which resembled a bipedal cat with light salmon pink scales and a tuft of sky blue hair on it's head with three horns protruding from it. "By combining the titan data of Gabara and Cozy Glow, it gave birth to a monster with the agility so high it makes Rainbow Dash look like the scrapped design of a Toho monster," Tobias laughed. "Hey!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed clearly insulted. "I don't know what that means but I am definitely 20% much more cooler than that ugly cat," "Well this 'ugly cat' also can blast all of you into next week using it's powerful magic, thus I have dubbed this monster, Glowbara," He pointed to the fifth and final monster at the center. This monster was an ape like Kong but was much lankier and had elongated limbs. Black fur covered most of it's body except it's face,scalp,upper torso, arms, and legs. A giant bone like whip was wrapped over it's shoulders and the tip was decorated with a blue crystal that appeared to conduct electricity. "This final monster was created by combining the titan data of Skar King and what little DNA I could retrieve from the Storm King, thankfully it was enough to create a monster that could not only move fast but attack with enough power and ferocity to overpower both Godzilla and Kong,not only that but it con conjure up electricity using the crystal at the end of it's weapon, but I couldn't come up with any names for it so I just stuck with Storm King," "How is that relevant? asked Starlight. "it's not and neither are any of you standing in this room," sneered Tobias. "Now I would provide a demonstration of how these monsters function, but I think it's better you see for yourself, that is if you survive," Tobias laughed as he and Hyper King Ghidorah warps out of the crystal empire as the monsters roar and starts attacking the city. "Hey don't run coward!" Rainbow Dash exclaims. "Ugh he got away again," "This is bad, if we leave these monsters alone the whole city will be destroyed," said Cadence. "Yeah but we're just ponies and a couple of humans and those things are big tall monsters, what can we do?" asked Applejack. Suddenly another roar echoed throughout the empire grabbing everyone's attention, when they look up, they saw Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus slowly making their way towards the empire fully recovered and ready for a fight. "Well their timing couldn't be any better," said Trapper. They watched as the two groups of titans faced each other. As Godzilla let out a war cry, he rushed towards the Storm King and his minions with Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus right behind him. The titan battle royale had begun. Chapter 12: Titan Battle Royale Part 2Seeing all the chaos unfold outside their homes, the crystal ponies screamed in terror as they scrambled to evacuate the empire as Godzilla and his allies continued to clash with the other titans. Thankfully, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart were able to escape with the combined efforts of the Monarch Task Force and Twilight and her friends. "My subjects, please calm yourselves!" Cadence ordered. "How can we stay calm when our city's currently being destroyed!?" a pony argued. Cadence looked up as Kong punches Tirgan knocking it into some nearby buildings. "I...." Cadence desperately tries to find a way to ease the ponies concerns but it was clear they were too on edge by the scene unfolding before them. "If we can somehow direct the battle away from the city, we might still be able to save the empire," suggested Starlight. "How?" asked Rainbow Dash. "It's not like those things will just move somewhere else if we ask nicely," "What do we do Twilight?" Applejack asked. Twilight tries to come up with a solution as the battle continues to rage on. "I...I don't know," said Twilight. The ponies cower in fear as Godzilla roars before tackling Shadow Ghidorah to the ground. "My subjects I understand you're worried, but we must worry about our lives first," said Cadence. "Let us settle here until the battle subsides," The ponies talk amongst themselves clearly unsure about Cadence's suggestion but eventually agree that their lives are more important. "Fine we'll put our faith in you princess," said a pony. Cadence gave them a light smile before looking towards the crystal empire. The others followed her gaze and watched as the battle raged on. Anguirus curls up into a ball and rolls towards Glowbara ramming into it's chest and sending it flying towards Shadow Ghidorah. But Shadow Ghidorah quickly turns into a dark smoke and splits in half before merging back together. Anguirus quickly retreats back into his shell as Shadow Ghidorah fires a blast of dark energy towards him but Godzilla takes this opportunity and slams his tail into the monster knocking it down. Meanwhile Kong is clashing with Tirgan as it attempts to slash at him with it's hooked claws. "This is getting quite intense," said Tempest. "But we're going to have to rely on Godzilla and his allies if we want any hopes of defeating those monsters," said Ilene. "Yeah go, go Godzilla!" Pinkie cheers. "I find it hard to believe that Pinkie's seeing this as some sort of entertainment," sighed Rarity. Pinkie continued to cheer as the titans clashed. Kong growled as he tried to swing at Chrysaguirus but to no avail. Seeing this Anguirus walked up next to Kong and raised his tail before gesturing towards the flying menace. Kong smirked as he grabbed Anguirus's tail and began swinging before hurling the oversized turtle at Chrysaguirus knocking her out of the air and sending her crashing into the ground. Seeing this Tirgan retaliates by firing it's grappling hooks from under it's hooked claws and wrapping them around Kong before pulling him in towards it's buzz saw embedded in it's chest. Thankfully, Rodan quickly intervenes by burning the wires with his radioactive flames. Shadow Ghidorah rushes to it's partner's aid by transforming into a cloud of smoke and surrounding Rodan, blinding him.Godzilla attempts to save his comrade by firing his atomic heat ray at Shadow Ghidorah only to accidentally hit Rodan instead and sends him crashing to the ground. Chrysaguirus follows in and incapacitates Rodan by jabs him in his left wing with her stinger. "Uh oh," says Capper. "This is bad, Rodan's down," said Ilene. Anguirus tries to save his friend but is quickly intercepted by Glowbara who blocks his path. As Rodan rolls around on the ground trying to escape, Chrysaguirus shape shifts into a Skull Crawler before biting down on his right wing. Realizing his ally is in trouble, Kong grabs one of the buildings next to his feet and smashes it above Chrysaguirus's head temporary stunning it and giving Kong the opportunity to grab the shapeshifting monster and throws it at Glowbara knocking the two onto the ground. "Aww yeah now that's what I call teamwork!" said Rainbow Dash. "Yay," Fluttershy murmurs as she quietly claps her hooves. As Glowbara and Chrysaguirus slowly get to their feet, Kong raises his fist and attempts to punch the two monsters but is stopped by something, he looks up to see the Storm King's whip wrapped around his arm. As he tries to remove his restraints, the Storm King yanks hard and drags Kong down saving it's two minions. Anguirus sees his opening and crawls over to Rodan to check on his condition but is quickly swallowed up by Shadow Ghidorah's smoke. Godzilla hears his ally yelp and attempts to fire another blast of his atomic heat ray but ends up striking Anguirus instead. "Oh come on that's the second time he did that!" Bernie groans. Godzilla's eyes burn with rage as Shadow Ghidorah reemerges in front of him. As Shadow Ghidorah shoots him a taunting look, Godzilla roars before charging at the three headed monster. Just as he was about to reach Shadow Ghidorah, Tirgan suddenly comes up from the side and slashes at Godzilla with it's hooked claws. Seeing it's opening, Shadow Ghidorah quickly swallows both Godzilla and Tirgan in a cloud of smoke. As Godzilla tries to locate his target, Tirgan uses Shadow Ghidorah's smoke to it's advantage and begins slashing at him from within the smoke. Meanwhile as Kong attempts to get to his feet, Chrysaguirus latches itself onto his back while Glowbara pummels him with it's punches and kicks. Anguirus manages to recover from the attack and rushes over to Kong to help him, but the Storm King uses the crystal at the end of it's whip to summon a bolt of lightning down onto Anguirus, stunning him. "Uh y'all this doesn't look good," said Applejack. They watch as the Storm King grabs Anguirus with it's whip before hurling him towards the smoke. As Shadow Ghidorah disperses, Godzilla is struck by Anguirus sending him toppling onto the ground. As they try to stand up, Tirgan jumps on top of Godzilla and begins slashing at him. Next to him Anguirus is struggling to stand up when Shadow Ghidorah grabs his tail with it's teeth before lifting him up and slamming him down onto the ground. All the while Kong is still struggling with Chrysaguirus and Glowbara. "Um is it just me or are they losing this one?" asked Trixie. The group looks on with concern as Kong finally throws Chrysaguirus off his back only for it to shape shift into Skar King and begin striking him in the back with it's whip. Godzilla was also on the verge of defeat as Tirgan continued to slash at him. It finally stopped it's onslaught as Godzilla lay on the ground severely wounded, but Tirgan wasn't done as it charged up it's magic and blasted Godzilla in the face. Now with Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus all defeated, Storm King let out a triumphant roar as it's minions joined it's side. "Oh no," Fluttershy whimpered. "This isn't good," said Ilene. "How is it those things are so powerful?" Cadence asked. "They used cheat moves!" said Rainbow Dash. Storm King looked at Shadow Ghidorah and gestured it towards Godzilla. The three headed monster turned towards the defeated King and began charging up an attack as everyone watched in anticipation. "We need to do something before they kill Godzilla," said Ilene. "Ok but what can we do?" asked Bernie. "There has to be SOMETHING right?" asked Starlight. Realizing that there nothing could be done, they all prepared to watch the end of the king, but just when Shadow Ghidorah was about to let loose it's attack, a blast of icy cold air suddenly struck the monster in the chest as it's body became encased in a blanket of ice. "What was that!?" asked Luna. Another roar filled the area as everyone turned around to see a giant white quadrupedal creature with large blue crystalline spines protruding from it's back. Riding it was an ape similar to Kong but much smaller and covered with orange fur unlike it's older counterpart. "Are those?" asked Cadence. "No way," said Trapper. "What are they doing here?" asked Bernie. "Miss Ilene are they titans?" asked Fluttershy. "Not just any titans, that's the ancient titan Shimo and Kong's loyal kin, Suko," Ilene explained. Storm King roared as it's minions turned towards the newcomers. Shimo responded with a roar of her own before charging towards them with Suko on her back. Storm King pointed the crystal at them as Glowbara, Chrysaguirus, and Tirgan prepared to engage. Glowbara reached down and grabbed a building before hurling it towards the two, but Shimo quickly froze it with her ice breath allowing Suko to jump up and catch the frozen mass before hurling it at the frozen Shadow Ghidorah and shattering it upon impact. As the chunks of ice landed around them, they began to glow in the golden light before disintegrating. "Yes!" Bernie exclaimed pumping his fists. "That's one down!" added Applejack. Seeing their ally go down like that was enough to provoke the remaining four. This distraction was enough time for Kong to grab Anguirus by the tail and throw him at Glowbara sending it flying forwards where it landed face first into the ground. Realizing what happened, Chrysaguirus, Tirgan, and Storm King turned around as Kong held up his axe and roared with Anguirus standing next to him. Glowbara slowly got up and stomped it's feet in frustration as Tirgan began charging up an attack having completely forgotten about Shimo and Suko. As Glowbara slowly approached Kong, Suko jumped off Shimo, and climbed on top of Glowbara's head and began biting and scratching at it's face as it tried to shake him off. "Sheesh that's terrifying," said Spike. "I think it's cute," said Fluttershy. Chrysaguirus looked around confused trying to figure out who to help, but before it could make a choice, Shimo lunged at it and pulled it out of the air and onto the ground by it's tail. As Chrysaguirus tried to escape, Shimo swung it by the tail before throwing it at Glowbara. Seeing the monster come flying towards it, Suko jumped off as the two monsters crashed into each other. Meanwhile as Tirgan finished charging up, Suko landed on top of it and forcefully broke off one of it's horns as Tirgan tried shaking him off. Kong quickly used this distraction and broke off one of Tirgan's hooked claws. Just as he was about to do the same for his other claw, Tirgan quickly threw Suko off of it's head and into Kong. As the two apes got to their feet, Tirgan raised it's second claw and was about to attack when a blast of atomic breath erupted, leaving a gaping hole in it's chest. As Tirgan collapsed, Kong and Suko could see Godzilla on his feet standing behind the monster. "Haha two down!" Rainbow exclaimed as Tirgan disintegrated. Now Storm King was furious, it had just lost two of it's loyal minions and they still hadn't managed to kill Godzilla or his allies. It turned to give orders to Chrysaguirus and Glowbara only to see Rodan lifting up a frozen Chrysaguirus in the air and dropping it on top of a froze Glowbara shattering the two titans into pieces. Now with all it's minions gone, Storm King was forced to face, Godzilla, Kong, Anguirus, Rodan, Shimo, and Suko all on it's own. As Godzilla and his allies surrounded Storm King, it raised it's whip and attempted to subdue the king of monsters only to have it ripped out of it's hands and ripped in half by Godzilla. "Nowhere to run buddy," Trapper chuckled. As Storm King waited for their next move, Suko caught him off guard by jumping at it's face and scratching viciously at it. It ripped Suko off it's face and attempted to throw him onto the ground, but not before Kong came in and punched the titan into the ground face first. Kong quickly grabbed Storm King before it could recover and threw him towards Godzilla as he slammed his tail sending him back towards Kong who punched him back into the ground. "Ouch," Cadence winced as she watched them beat Storm King into a pulp. Before it could get back up, Rodan grabbed it by the leg and lifted it into the air where Shimo froze it with her ice breath. Kong used this opportunity to grab Anguirus by the tail and swing him around before throwing him at the frozen Storm King just as Rodan let it go. Anguirus's shell collided with the frozen titan, smashing it into chunks of ice as the crowd ponies cheered. Godzilla and his allies let out a victory roar as the Storm King disintegrated just like it's fellow minions. "Aw yeah that was awesome!" said Rainbow Dash. "Talk about teamwork," Tempest chuckled. "I think this calls for a victory party!" cheered Pinkie. "I hate to break it to you Pinkie, but I think we should focus on rebuilding the Crystal Empire first," said Starlight. "I agree," said Cadence. "Aww phooey," Pinkie pouted. "Plus we still have Tobias to worry about, as long as he and Hyper Mecha Ghidorah are on the lose, peace won't be returning to this world anytime soon," added Ilene. "I guess you're right," said Pinkie. "I suppose you'll be heading off again?" asked Shining Armor. "Sorry brother, we want to help you and Cadence, but as Miss Ilene said, we need to find Tobias and stop him," said Twilight. "I understand," said Cadence. "Worry not Twilight, we'll stay and help them out," said Luna. "Are you sure?" she asked. "We may not have our magic back, but we can still be useful in other ways," said Celestia. "Thank you Celestia and Luna," said Cadence. "I guess if it's ok with you two we won't have to worry about anything else," said Twilight. "Do be careful alright?" asked Cadence. "Don't worry as long as Godzilla's on our side I'm sure we'll be fine," said Starlight. "Alright we should get going, the longer we waste, the more victims start to pile up," said Ilene. Everyone nodded as they prepared for their next course of action. Tobias was still out there and it was only a matter of time before he got what he wanted. They had to hurry, otherwise it would be the end of Equestria. Chapter 13: A Buggy MessAfter receiving a distress call from Cadence, Twilight and her friends made their way to the Crystal Empire only to be confronted by Tobias himself. Frustrated with his failed attempts to finally rid Twilight and co, Tobias, using the power of Hyper Mecha Ghidorah, summoned 5 new monsters modified with the DNA of Equestria's most dangerous villains as a desperate attempt. Sensing the danger, Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus rushed to battle to put down the monsters only to be overpowered. Thankfully after nearly meeting their ends, Shimo and Suko rushed to their aid and with the combined strength of all 6 titans, they were able to reclaim victory from the villains. Now with the crystal empire saved, Ilene and the rest of the Monarch Task Force made it a priority to stop Tobias from causing more damage. The only problem was tracking him down. Thus with the help from Twilight and her friends, the members of the task force were able to continue their search while the ponies helped them navigate Equestria. They were now heading towards the changeling kingdom after Ilene's phone detected another titan reading from the nearby area. "Good you guys made it," Twilight said greeting the four as they exited the HEAV. "Yeah not really difficult when you got the necessary tools," Trapper chuckled. "Spike's gone to talk with their leader, he's been friends with him for a while so he should be able to convince the changelings that you mean well," said Twilight. "He's also catching them up on our current situation," added Starlight. "That'll save us some extra time," said Ilene. "Sorry to keep you waiting," Spike called out to them with Thorax by his side. "Timing couldn't be more perfect Spike," said Twilight. "Hey Twilight, hey Starlight, good to see you two again," Thorax waved at the two before looking towards Ilene. "Oh and these must be the humans who's going to help us," "Well not necessarily us," Bernie murmured. "So what's the situation looking like?" asked Ilene. "Well uh it's not too good," said Thorax. "Well that's reassuring," said Bernie. "Follow me, I think it's better if you see it for yourselves," said Thorax. Confused Ilene, Bernie, Jia, and Trapper began following Thorax. "It all started when that big three headed monster began capturing changelings and sucking up their magic, I managed to help my kind retreat back into the hive after the attack unfortunately only me, Pharynx, and Ocellus managed to avoid capture," explained Thorax. "Dr isn't that?" asked Tempest. Ilene nodded "Tobias is continuing to hunt down every form of life in this world to take their magic we need to hurry before things get any worse," she said. "Well before you do that we need help with THIS," Thorax pointed to a field infested with large praying mantises feasting on the greenery used to decorate the hive. "Shit it's Kamacuras," Ilene cursed under her breath. "I'm sorry what?" asked Thorax. "Kamacuras basically giant praying mantises," explained Ilene. "They're not so intimidating on their own, but when they gather in a swarm like this, they become more annoying than anything," "Eww so gross," Rarity groaned. "Is there anything we can do?" asked Thorax. "Normally Godzilla should be able to handle something like this on his own but he's currently resting up with the other titans back at the empire," sighed Ilene. "So we're in trouble," said Rainbow Dash. "Oh, our hive is not prepared for something like this," Thorax whimpered. As he said that a large scythe like appendage suddenly emerged from below and almost crushes the group. "Eep!" Fluttershy yelped. They watch as a Kamacuras crawls up and stares at them with it's beady eyes. "Eww get it away from me!" Rarity screamed as she hid behind Thorax. The Kamacuras hissed and raised it's legs, ready to pounce when a massive spider web dropped on top of it trapping it. "Are we safe?" Rarity asked looking up. The Kamacuras screeched as it tried to escape, but not before a massive spider emerged from behind. "Now a spider!?" Trixie yelped. But instead of attacking them, the giant spider began to drag the web containing the Kamacuras away from the group. It looked at them one final times with it's 6 blue eyes before turning it's attention towards the the others in the swarm. "It saved us?" asked Spike. "Dr. what exactly was that?" asked Starlight. "Considering it captured that Kamacuras I can only suspect that it's him," said Ilene. "Kumonga correct?" asked Trapper. Ilene nodded as they watched the spider hunt down the rest of the Kamacuras that tried to escape. After trapping the remainder of the swarm, Kumonga turned it's attention towards the group and scuttled towards them. "Oh shit," Bernie and the others began to back away as the spider monster continued to pick up speed. But just before it could pounce, another screech rang out grabbing it's attention. They all turned towards the source to find a much bigger spider entering Kumonga's territory. "Another spider!?" Trixie yelped. Unlike Kumonga, this one had eight legs that resembled bamboo stalks and it's face resembled a skull with beady red eyes. "Mother Long Leg," Ilene said as she began backing up. Kumonga let out an ear piercing screech as the Mother Long Leg scuttled towards him at high speeds. Kumonga quickly spewed out several strands of his web in attempts to slow it down but the Mother Long Leg showed no signs of stopping. Before Kumonga could do anything else, the Mother Long Legs rammed into him sending him crashing into the side of a nearby boulder. Kumonga scrambled to his feet as the Mother Long Leg attempted to jump on top of him before spewing a glob of his thread into the eyes of his rival. With the Mother Long Leg distracted, Kumonga began wrapping his silk around it's legs and tying them together causing the overgrown spider to trip and come crashing down. "Talk about a take down," said Trapper. As Kumonga produced a stinger from it's mouth, the Mother Long Legs broke through his silk and rolled to the side to avoid being stung. As it finally managed to shake off the web off it's face, the Mother Long Leg screeches at Kumonga clearly enraged. "Ok and it's pissed off," said Bernie. As the two roar at each other, the area around them suddenly explodes shaking the earth and knocking the party down. The group slowly gets to their feet as dust covers the area obstructing their view. "What the hell was that?" Bernie coughed. "Whatever it was, it obviously wasn't pretty," Thorax hacked as he spit dirt out of his mouth. Suddenly another roar filled the area grabbing their attention. "That didn't sound good," said Capper. As the dust cleared and both Kumonga and the Mother Long Leg slowly got to their feet, two more monsters were standing in front of them. One resembled a cross between a cockroach and a rhinoceros beetle standing on it's hind legs. A large silver and grey horn protruded from the center of it's head and in place of arms were two large drill like appendages. The second was a giant black moth with red, yellow, and black patterns on it's wings and two yellow horns on it's head. It's six legs dangled as it hovered above the ground and it's two red eyes burned with a deep hatred. "Ah what horrid creatures!" Rarity exclaimed as Applejack shot her a look, clearly not amused. "Miss Ilene," Twilight said looking at her. "I know," she said nodding her head. She quickly pulled up the data on her phone. "The one on the right is called Megalon, he was a large insectoid that was defeated by Godzilla many years ago after he was sent to destroy our world by an underground civilization," she explained. "The monster next to him is considered to be a dark counterpart of one of Godzilla's allies, who appeared in order to wipe out the entire human race because he saw them as a blight to the planet, we have dubbed him Battra," "Talk about a destructive duo," said Trixie. "If these two were created by Hyper Mecha Ghidorah as well, then no doubt that Godzilla will come after them," said Ilene. "Yeah but Godzilla's currently out of commission from the last battle," said Bernie. "Um does that mean we're..." Spike asked nervously. "We're most definitely screwed," said Bernie. Kumonga and the Mother Long Leg roars as Megalon and Battra simply stare them down completely unfazed. Kumonga rushes forward in an attempt to tackle Megalon but he quickly jumps over him. As Kumonga turns around, Megalon opens his mouth and fires two red crystalline stones at Kumonga which explode on impact. As Kumonga is left stunned, Battra follows up by tackling Kumonga with his two horns and sends him tumbling down a large cliff. Megalon lets out a victory cry not noticing the Mother Long Leg sneaking up behind him. In attempts to subdue the overgrown beetle, the Mother Long Leg shoots out it's silk, but Megalon simply slices through it's silk with his drill like appendages. Frustrated, the Mother Long Leg lunges at Megalon only to be sliced in half by his drills. "Alright now we're definitely screwed," said Bernie. Megalon laughs as the two halves of the Mother Long Leg disintegrates before turning towards the group. "Um it's looking at us," said Capper. "Miss Ilene isn't there anything we can do?" asked Starlight. "At this point our only option is to run," she answered. "Oh we're doomed," Fluttershy whimpered. They watch as Megalon and Battra slowly approach them. Twilight attempts to blast him with her magic, but Megalon simply shrugs off her attack and continues to approach. "It's no use, my magic doesn't affect that thing," said Twilight. "Oh sweet Celestia no, I don't want to die, especially not by a giant disgusting bug!" Rarity cried. "That's what you're worried about right now!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. They look up as Megalon towers over them screeching loudly. "No I won't let you hurt my friends!" Thorax quickly changed into a dragon and attempted to fight off Megalon, but the monster simply swats him away with his giant drills sending Thorax crashing into the ground. "Thorax!" Spike gasped as he rushed over to his friends side. Megalon roared as he raised his two drills over them. The group quickly huddled together as Twilight summoned a shield around them protecting her friends from Megalon's drills. Twilight gasped and collapsed as Megalon managed to destroy her shield in three strikes. "This is bad, this is seriously bad!" Pinkie yelped. Fluttershy cowered in fear as Megalon raised his drills one final time. But just before he could bring it down on them, he was suddenly knocked back and into Battra by a blast of light. "What was that!?" asked Tempest. A loud shrill cry rang out causing the group to turn around as a second giant moth descended landing behind them, its' body glowing in ethereal light. "Oh not another one," said Rarity. "No wait that's," Ilene quickly gets to her feet while holding Jia as the moth looks down at them with it's large blue eyes. "Is it not going to attack us?" asked Sunburst. "Not this one," said Ilene. "This is an ancient ally of Godzilla, the protector of humanity and the queen of monsters, this is Mothra," Chapter 15: The Nacre NemesisAfter claiming victory against the giant insectoid titans, Godzilla was slowly making his way towards an unknown island with the HEAV as well as the Mane 6 and co following close behind. "Where is Godzilla heading now?" asked Applejack. They watched as Godzilla disappeared into the water with only his dorsal spikes indicating his location. "Twilight isn't that?" Spike looked up at her. "Yeah he's headed towards the dragon's lair," said Twilight. "Oh no Ember!" "Spike wait!" Twilight followed after Spike as he rushed off. "Spikey Wikey!" Rarity cried out to him. "We have to follow them," said Sunburst. "Uh how do we do that?" asked Trixie. Their ears perk up when they hear a familiar cry and look up to see Mothra descending towards them. Meanwhile, Twilight and Spike continue to follow Godzilla and the HEAV towards the dragon's lair. As the island comes into view, they began to notice the island littered with weakened dragons that were covered in a mysterious blue substance. Twilight and Spike follow after the HEAV as it lands on the island scanning the area. "What in Equestria?" asked Twilight. "Well this place definitely looks like it has seen better days," said Trapper. Ilene walks over and examines the mysterious blue substance as Twilight and Spike begins checking up on the dragons. "They look drained," said Spike. "Must be Tobias's doing, if so then we're already too late," said Twilight. "Spike!" the group looks up as a familiar blue scaled dragon descends. "Princess Ember!" Spike runs up to her. "Spike what are you doing here?" Ember asked. "And are those humans?" "It's a long story, but before that what exactly happened here?" Spike asked. "A lot of things, absolute chaos, first this large three headed dragon shows up and begins attacking everyone, except it didn't have scales and instead of killing us, it simply captured us and began absorbing our energy, everyone's drained," Spike looks over at Twilight "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," Twilight nods. "Not only that but I think it used our energy to create another dragon," Ember continued. "It created another dragon?" asked Spike. Ember was about to elaborate when she stepped back as she looked behind them. "What the!?" Spike turned around as Godzilla slowly emerged from the water snarling. "Oh um yeah, him Princess Ember allow me to introduce you to Godzilla," said Spike. "Godzilla?" Ember looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. "Yep, and he's here because he's going to help us defeat that three headed dragon you mentioned. "This thing?" asked Ember. Godzilla looked down at her before snarling. "I mean sure he looks powerful but how is it possible that this thing's going to take on a three headed dragon?" "We've seen his strength first hand, and I can assure you he's no pushover," Twilight added. "Anyway you said it created a second dragon right?" asked Spike. "Where is this other dragon?" "I don't know it spit out those weird blue stuff and flew off," said Ember pointing to the blue substance. Spike and Twilight walked over to Ilene as she stood up. "Doc?" Bernie asked. "It's Nacre," said Ilene. "Na what now?" asked Bernie. "Nacre, a type of substance that can encapsulate and preserve living organisms," explained Ilene. 'Um if everyone here is covered in that stuff isn't that a bad thing?" asked Spike. "Most likely, and if what your friend said is true, then there can only be one monster that can be responsible for this," said Ilene. Their conversation is suddenly interrupted when a loud roar fills the area. "Uh what was that?' asked Spike. Then without warning something flies in and grabs onto Godzilla. They look up to see a large dragon covered in black scales latched onto Godzilla. It had a head resembling a fish and two bovine like horns with reptilian eyes. "The Ion Dragon," said Ilene. They watched as the Ion Dragon bit down onto Godzilla's neck and attempted to pry open his mouth with it's four pronged pincer like tail, only for Godzilla to rip one of the prongs off causing it to yelp. Godzilla quickly grabbed the dragon and throws it at the large stone structure in the center of the island before it circles back for another attack. Godzilla began to charge up a blast of his atomic breath, but not before the Ion Dragon sprayed Godzilla in the face with Nacre, stunning him long enough retaliate with an attack of it's own. "Hey shouldn't we help him?" asked Ember. "Hehe just watch," said Spike. Ember looked back up as Godzilla grabbed the Ion Dragon by one of it's legs and pulls it down before blasting it in the face with a dose of it's atomic breath. As the Ion Dragon tries to escape, Godzilla simply grabbed it by the wings and swung it around in a circle and tore one of it's wings clean off before hurling it towards the stone structure in the center of the island. As the dragon scrambled to get back up, Godzilla fired off another blast of his atomic breath causing the Ion Dragon to explode before roaring towards the sky. "No way that just happened," said Ember. "Told you he's strong," said Spike. At that moment, any remains of the Ion Dragon along with all the Nacre began to dissolve into golden dust. "Huh," Ember flew up to Godzilla's level clearly impressed. "You're not so bad after all, I like someone who can hold his own in battle," Godzilla snorts in response. "I don't think he understands you Ember," said Spike. "Oh yeah how about this?" She roars before spewing a fountain of fire towards the sky. Seeing this Godzilla charges up his atomic breath before firing it towards the sky before looking towards Ember. "Ha I really like him," "I have a feeling Godzilla and Ember will get along great," Twilight chuckles. "Hey!" They look up as Mothra descends and the others jump off of her. "We saw a bright pink light, is everypony ok?" asked Applejack. "Huh nothing's here, did we miss it?" asked Pinkie. "Yeah Godzilla pretty much cleaned up the mess in just a minute," said Spike. "Are you serious!?" exclaimed Rainbow Dash. "Oh well, maybe next time darling," said Rarity. "Uh who's the giant moth?" asked Ember. "Oh her, don't worry she's on our side," said Starlight. "More importantly what happened?" Spike and Twilight quickly explained to the rest of the group what transpired on the dragon lands. "So even the dragons," said Tempest. "Yeah, it seems as more time passes, the victims continue to pile up, we need to hurry," said Ilene. "Man I really wanted to see Godzilla beat up a dragon," Rainbow Dash pouted. "Now's not the time to be complainin," said Applejack. "She's right, I've gotten another reading," said Ilene. "Well looks like we're off again," said Capper. "So you're leaving?" asked Ember. "Sorry but if we want to help Equestria, we have to keep moving," said Spike. "I understand, well if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask me, I'll do whatever I can," said Ember. "Thanks Ember," said Spike. "Godzilla's on the move, let's roll," said Trapper. Spike said his final goodbyes before following after the others as they continue forward to their next destination.
Prologue: Beyond Hollow EarthIt's been almost 5 years since the Skar King's defeat, Godzilla had continued to fulfill his role as the guardian of nature by keeping the other titan's in check, and Kong had established his new kingdom in Hollow Earth. While Monarch kept their eyes on the titans on the surface, several researchers were sent down into Hollow Earth where they established a new outpost after the previous one was destroyed. Now in present day, the research team stationed in Hollow Earth continues to monitor Kong as he goes through his daily life as the ape's new king. "How are things looking?" "No abnormalities thus far,seems like it was just another normal day for King Kong," the researcher answered. "As to be expected, ever since the incident with the Skar King things have been nothing but quiet, kinda getting boring to be honest," "Hey now Frank, no need to be a downer, at least we won't have to worry about getting eaten alive by some rouge titan," joked the researcher. "You're not wrong there Danny," Frank chuckled as he poured himself a cup of coffee. As Danny spun around in his chair, the doors opened as a female researcher entered "Hey Linda, something wrong?" asked Danny. "Another one got the boot," Linda sighed as she threw a stack of papers on top of her work station. "Oh great who is it this time?" asked Frank. "Toby," answered Linda. "Who?" asked Danny. "You know, Tobias W. Hawthorne, crypto zoologist expertise and a head researcher of Monarch's Titan Division, I'm sure you've met him right?" asked Frank. "Wait THAT Toby?" asked Danny. "Apparently the director found out about his past affiliations with Apex," explained Linda. "He was in on the Mechagodzilla shit!?" asked Danny. "I wouldn't say that, nobody knows exactly if he really was involved in the creation of Mechagodzilla, what we DO know was that he was an ex-employee of Apex," explained Linda. "And they let him go because of that?" asked Frank taking a sip of his coffee. "Apparently," nodded Linda. "At least that's what the head of operations said," "Sounds like tough luck to me," Frank snickered. "He was one of our best too," Danny sighed as he leaned back in his chair. "Nothing we can do," said Linda. "By the way how's the big guy doing?" "Just another normal day, honestly it's not really exciting if it's this quiet," said Danny. "But it also means it's peaceful," says Linda as she walks over to the monitor. "Personally I want it to stay that-" she froze as she glanced at the screen,her smile melting off. "Hm? what's up Linda?" Frank asked. Danny spun back around and glanced at the screen. "What the hell?" Frank walked over to their side to see that one of the four aerial cameras had detected something. "What is that?" asked Frank. "Looks like another uncharted area," said Danny. The three stares in awe at the large red mass on the screen. "Looks like it's located somewhere near Kong's lair," said Linda. "Guys," Linda and Danny turns towards Frank as he pulls up a chair on another monitor. "I'm getting some strong readings, it's the same ones from the vortexes found in the Iwi's village," "You mean the one that Dr. Andrews found when they last came down here?" asked Danny. "That's the one," answered Frank. "And where's the readings coming from?" asked Linda. "Hang on I'm working on it," Frank said as he began tapping away on the keyboard. "Found it, based on the location is seems to be part of the same uncharted area that the computer detected," "Is it another one of those vortexes?" asked Linda. "Considering that the readings are identical it's safe to assume," answered Frank. "Shouldn't we report this to Hampton as well?" asked Danny. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to notify them about this, Frank can you try and reach her?" asked Linda. "Working on it," he said as he tapped away on the keyboard. Hollow Earth Access Point Dr. Ilene Andrews quickly navigates through the facility as researchers and armed soldiers scramble about. As it turns out, the past few days, Godzilla had suddenly begun acting erratically despite no titans had emerged to challenge his authority and today was no different. "Andrews," she turns around to see Hampton walking up to her. " "Care to explain what the hell's going on this time?" Ilene asks. "It's another one of his freakouts," said Hampton. "I don't understand,he's never been this upset but for some reason he's been getting pissed off for no reason lately," "Well there HAS to be a reason," said Ilene. "Yeah and whatever it is, it's clearly powerful enough to set him off this much, not even Kong or Ghidorah pushed him to this level of anger," said Hampton. As the two entered the monitoring room responsible for keeping track of the titan's activities,she points to a researcher. "Talk to me," "Godzilla's currently making his way towards Loviisa, Finland," answered the researcher. "Whatever he's planning on doing it's clearly got him riled up," "Pull up the map, let's see," said Ilene. "The researcher does as instructed and pulls up a map of the location Godzilla was heading towards. "Oh shit," "It's a nuclear facility," said Hampton. "The last time Godzilla targeted a nuclear facility he was absorbing power to prepare himself for the confrontation with the Skar King," said Ilene. "So something similar is happening here?" asked Hampton. "Most likely," said Ilene. "Director Hampton, incoming call from Outpost 1," another researcher interrupted. "Whatever it is, hopefully it's better news than what we're currently dealing with," said Hampton. The researcher answers the call as a man's voice rings out from the speakers. "This is Frank from Monarch Observation team calling from Outpost 1 in Hollow Earth do you read?" "Frank we read you, what seems to be the problem?" asked Hampton. "No problems here ma'am, just that our computers have recently picked up on a strange reading from another uncharted area in Hollow Earth near Kong's and the great ape's lair,we have deduced that the readings are similar to the vortexes found in the Iwi tribe's village," explained Frank. "Another Hollow Earth access point?" asked Ilene. "Most likely," added Frank. "Where does it lead?" asked Hampton. "Our team has tried to figure it out, unfortunately it seems like our technology is struggling to figure that out,whatever is on the other side seems to be interfering with our equipment, however we do know that there is some form of life as they're picking up on heat signatures, but this mysterious energy source from the other side is making it difficult to figure out what exactly they are," explained Frank. "Mysterious energy source, is that what's causing Godzilla such unease?" asked Ilene. "Godzilla?" asked Frank. "We haven't told you this, but for the past few days, Godzilla has been acting erratic for no apparent reason, if what you said is true, then whatever is on the other side of that vortex is probably the cause of it all," suggested Ilene. "Jesus," Frank murmured. "Wait hold please, it seems like Danny found something," "Something?" asked Hampton. "Kong seems to be on the move, and he's headed towards that vortex in the uncharted area," explained Frank. "Hang tight, I'm sending a Task Force down there," said Hampton. "Understood, we'll continue to monitor Kong and the strange energy readings," said Frank. Hampton sighs as the call cuts out before turning towards Ilene. "Well?" she asks. "I don't know about this," said Ilene. "You've done this before Andrews, who says you can't pull this off again?" asked Hampton. "Yeah but last time we only went as far as the Iwi village, we'll be heading into unknown territories this time around," argued Ilene. "And whatever is on the other side is pissing off Godzilla, if you run from this then what will the public say about Monarch?" asked Hampton. "Besides you're daughter is not a little girl anymore, I'm sure she'll be worried about Kong as well," Ilene scoffs before nodding. "Alright fine but at least let me choose the members for this task force," said Ilene. "Whoever it is you have to contact, make it quick, Godzilla is not a fan of waiting," said Hampton. Ilene nodded as she followed Hampton out to prepare for the upcoming mission.
Chapter 14: Femme FataleThe group gazes up at Mothra in awe as she protects the group from Megalon and Battra. She lets out a high pitched screech before turning to face the group. Jia smiles as she walks up and gently caresses Mothra. "It's been a while hasn't it Mothra?" Ilene smiles. Mothra squeals in agreement as the Equestrians just stare at them completely dumbfounded. "It's really letting them pet them like that?" asked Rainbow Dash. "She does look kinda cute," added Fluttershy. "And absolutely stunning," said Rarity. "Oh the giant moth is ok but the spiders aren't?" sighs Applejack. "Oh shush, a lady can have her tastes too," Rarity scoffs. Their conversation was suddenly interrupted when Megalon roared as he got to his feet. "Sounds like somebody's pissed," said Trapper. Mothra quickly turns her attention towards the two as Megalon jumps up and down like a child throwing a tantrum. Battra especially wasn't happy about seeing the queen of monsters. "Ow, ow, ow," They turn around as Thorax limps over to them looking dazed. "Thorax!" Twilight rushed over to him. "I know that thing is big, but did it seriously have to hit me so hard?" Thorax groaned. "Well one thing's for sure, we better get someplace safe before these guys go at each other," said Trapper. "Follow me we can stake out at our hive," Thorax groaned as he led the group away from the field as Mothra lunged at the two monsters. As the party quickly takes shelter in the changeling hive, the battle between the three titans rages on. Mothra flies over the hive with Battra in pursuit. Megalon growls as he fires two red crystalline bullets at Mothra nearly striking her wing while Battra fired of a stream of purple energy from his eyes trying to shoot her down. Mothra quickly turns around and shoots out a web of her silk that entangles Battra sending him crashing to the ground before turning to face Megalon. The overgrown beetle retaliates by firing a stream of electricity from it's horn at Mothra as she charges towards him and sends him flying after ramming into him. As Megalon rolls around on the ground, Mothra quickly encases him in her web to prevent him from moving. "Haha yeah take that!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "Not bad, no wonder they call her the queen," said Capper. "She may be soft, but that doesn't mean she can't put up a good fight," said Ilene. "Yeah yo go moth girl!" Rarity cheered. As Mothra asserts her dominance over Megalon, Battra takes his opportunity to fire a stream of purple energy, sending her crumbling to her knees. "Hey no fair, that was dirty!" yelled Pinkie. As Mothra slowly got to her feet Megalon suddenly erupted from the ground knocking her over with his drill like appendages before crawling out of the hole screeching. "Mothra!" Twilight gasped. "Oh this is really bad," yelped Trixie. They watched as Megalon begins pummeling Mothra into the ground with his arms. "We need to do something before he kills her!" said Sunburst. "But what can we do?" asked Thorax. They watched as Megalon raised his drills, but before he could bring them down on Mothra, a huge chunk of ice smashed into him, sending him stumbling forward. Megalon hissed and turned around to see Shimo making her way towards them with Suko on her back. "Shimo?" Ilene gasped. Suko snarled at Megalon before throwing the frozen rock he was holding at Megalon. He quickly raised his drills to defend himself before screeching at them. At the same time, Battra had managed to escape Mothra's web by chewing through the silk. Megalon stomped his feet in frustration and attempted to zap them with the electricity from his horn but not before Mothra slashed at his back with her clawed insectoid legs. "Haha yes payback!" Spike cheers. But Megalon simply got back up and roared angrily while swinging his arms clearly not happy he was being taken advantage of. As Mothra got to her feet, Battra retaliated by firing off a blast of purple energy from his eyes as Mothra let out a wail of agony. Seeing this Shimo charged up a blast of icy cold air and firing it at Battra, but not before he took to the skies. Suko attempted to knock him down by throwing giant boulders at him, but Battra was far too nimble for Suko, simply avoiding the barrage of attacks. Battra slowly descends, returning to Megalon's side while Shimo quickly moves next to Mothra in an attempt to protect her. "Looks like the odds are even now," said Tempest. "Yeah 2v2 let those creeps have it!" cheered Pinkie. Megalon snarls before firing two shots of the crystalline bullets at them, but Suko counters by throwing two large boulders nullifying the attacks. Meanwhile both Mothra and Battra takes to the skies while Shimo attempts to freeze Megalon, but he quickly burrows into the ground with his drills, avoiding the blast. "Oh come on what kind of cheat move!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "If we don't do something about Megalon's ability to burrow into the ground, we're not going to get anywhere," said Ilene. "Yeah but what can we do?" asked Bernie. Their attention was pulled towards Mothra as she crashed into the ground while Battra launched a barrage of energy based attacks from his eyes. "Mothra's in trouble too," said Starlight. The group watched as Shimo struggled to land a hit on Megalon as he continued to poke his head out of the ground and then burrowing back into the ground. After several failed attempts, Megalon suddenly emerged from beneath Shimo, knocking her off balance and sending Suko tumbling off of her back. Megalon roared before zapping her with the electricity from his horn. "Eep, this looks really bad," Fluttershy whimpered. Megalon raised his drills, but just as he was about to attack, two large vines suddenly wrapped around his arms restraining him as he screeched. "What was that?" asked Thorax. Suddenly, from within the earth behind Megalon, a familiar plant titan emerges snarling while keeping it's grip on Megalon. "Is that?" asked Sunburst. "Biollante!" Ilene nodded. Biollante hissed as she began retracting her vines, pulling Megalon back as it squirmed around trying to escape. Seeing her opportunity, Shimo quickly blasted Megalon with ice cold air, freezing him in place right as Biollante released her grip. "Now that's what I call teamwork!" said Spike. Seeing this, Battra hissed and charged towards Biollante, but not before Mothra rushed in and tackled her dark counterpart, sending him tumbling into the frozen Megalon and smashing the ice prison he was trapped in. Once the dust cleared, both Megalon and Battra was sprawled out on the ground struggling to get up. Shimo began charging up one final ice blast when a large silky web dropped on top of her disrupting her attack. "Oh what now?" asked Rarity. They looked over as Kumonga slowly emerged from where he last fell, clearly not happy about being tossed around. "Oh great the creepy spider is still alive," As the spider titan crawled out raring to go, both Megalon and Battra managed to collect themselves fuming and enraged. Meanwhile, Mothra helped Shimo out of Kumonga's web before the three turned towards their adversaries. Megalon let's out an enraged screech and charges towards them, but just as the three braces for an attack, another familiar roar rings out through the area. Megalon stops in his tracks as the Shimo, Mothra, and Biollante turns around to see Godzilla slowly making his way towards them. "Ugh about time!" Trixie scoffs. Furious he got interrupted again Megalon swings his arms around in a frenzy and charges towards him. But Godzilla remains unfazed as he also begins picking up speed, then without hesitation, he jumps up and flies towards Megalon with his legs outstretched, sending him tumbling towards Battra and Kumonga with a single dropkick. As Megalon stumbles into Kumonga, Battra quickly takes to the skies, but not before Biollante latches onto him with her vines and pulls him back down to the planet. Mothra acts quickly and traps the three under one of her webs and Shimo follows up by freezing them in a block of ice so they can't escape. Finally Godzilla lands the finishing blow with a big dose of his atomic breath causing a massive explosion, engulfing the three monsters in a pillar of flame. As their screeches rings out, their bodies dissolve in a golden light within the flames leaving a massive pile of ash and golden dust in it's place. The group cheers as Godzilla,Mothra,Shimo,Suko, and Biollante roars to celebrate another victory. "That was so cool!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Is it just me, or does Godzilla get cooler every time he wins?" asked Spike. "I suppose that's why they call him the king of the monsters," added Capper. As the monsters begins to leave the area, the party prepares to head to the next area to continue their search for Tobias. "I seriously don't know how to thank you guys," said Thorax. "Well the only way you'll be doing that is if you survive this whole ordeal, and that's why we have to stop Tobias ASAP," said Ilene. "The human that made that three headed monster right?" asked Thorax. "He sounds dangerous, are you going to be alright?" "Don't worry Thorax as long as they have Godzilla on their side, I don't think we'll have to worry about that," Spike reassures his friend. "Yeah I suppose you're right, but in case you need anything don't hesitate to ask, we'll do what we can to support you," "We'll take you up on that," said Ilene. "Hey let's go!" Bernie calls for her as he and Jia boards the HEAV. "Looks like we better move," said Ilene. "Right," Twilight agreed. With that Thorax, Pharynx, and Ocellus sees the party off as they head to their next destination.
Chapter 16: The Apex TitanTrixie looks over at Starlight as she looks off into the distance with a concerned expression. "Hey, something on your mind?' she asked. "Oh no, it's nothing," Starlight feigned innocence. "That doesn't sound like nothing," said Trixie. "Yeah, I'm just worried about everypony in my village," she sighed. "Hey don't worry I'm sure they'll be fine, if Godzilla can handle everything up until this point, I'm sure whatever is lurking around in your old village won't stand a chance," said Trixie trying to comfort her. "Yeah, you're right, they have to be alright, they have to," Starlight took a deep breath trying to calm her nerves. "We've arrived," she looks down as Mothra begins to descend with the HEAV. Surprisingly her village appeared to be untouched. No form of destruction was visible and all the ponies were casually walking around like nothing was wrong. As they landed, the party began walking around, it was starting to appear as if Starlight's village was spared from Tobias's campaign of destruction. "Huh doesn't seem like anythings wrong," said Bernie. "That's not possible my phone still has a reading," said Ilene. "Maybe it's sleeping or something?" asked suggested Pinkie. "Starlight?" the group looks up as four familiar ponies walk up to them. "What are you doing here?" "Double Diamond, Sugar Belle, Night Glider, Party Favor, oh it's so good to see you guys," Starlight rushed over to them. "We need your help, have you seen any giant monsters roaming around here?" The four looked at each other confused. "Giant monsters?" asked Night Glider. "No, we didn't see anything like that," said Party Favor. "You didn't?" asked Starlight. "Maybe he didn't come by here?" suggested Spike. "By the way are those humans?" Sugar Belle asked pointing to the four. "Oh uh yeah, um listen it's a long story," said Starlight. "All I can say is we're looking for a giant three headed monster," "Hm well we haven't seen anything like that, but maybe our new friend knows, he's also human so maybe he might have some clues," suggested Double Diamond. "Another human?" asked Applejack. "But the only other human besides these four is...." Rainbow Dash trails off. "Don't tell me," Starlight gasped. "I suddenly have a bad feeling about this," said Twilight. "And you have good reason to," a familiar voice speaks up. "Ah there he is," Double Diamond, Party Favor, Sugar Belle, and Night Glider steps to the side as Tobias reveals himself. "Long time no see friends," he sneers. "Tobias," Starlight growled. "Aww what a shame, i put together this welcoming party and you aren't even happy to see me?" Tobias sneered. "We'd be better off seeing you gone," hissed Tempest. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, my, my, what a tense atmosphere," Tobias sighed. "Well not that it matters, I'm surprised you made it all the way here," "Ha you think we'll go down without even getting a chance to beat you up, not a chance buddy!" Rainbow Dash laughed. "You saved us the trouble of finding you actually darling," said Rarity. "Is that what you think this is?" asked Tobias. "What a bunch of fools, if you really think you can take me on then go right ahead," he snapped as fingers as Hyper Mecha Ghidorah suddenly warped right in the center of the village sending the ponies into a panic. "We'll smash that robot into pieces!" said Rainbow Dash. "Wait Rainbow no!" Twilight tried to stop her as she lunged towards the mechanical titan but not before the middle head turned towards her and opened it's jaw before absorbing the magic from her body. The group gasped as she fell towards the ground in a weakened heap. "Dashie!" Pinkie gasped. Before anyone else could make a move, all three heads began slithering towards them with their mouths open. "No!" Trixie, Tempest, and Sunburst quickly jumped in front of the group as the robot began absorbing their magic as the three collapsed. "NO!" Starlight rushed over to Sunburst and Trixie as they lay on the ground in a weakened heap. "Aw what a shame, trying to protect your friends, and look where it got you," Tobias cackled. "You monster!" Starlight hissed. "Monster?" "I'm no monster, I am a god!" Tobias beamed. "You've caused so much damage already, I won't let you get away with this!" Starlight growled. "Oh and how do you plan on stopping me?" he sneered. "You don't even have your magic anymore," "I may not have magic, but THEY can," she said pointing Double Diamond, Party Favor, Sugar Belle, and Night Glider who's still in shock at what just transpired. "Uh actually Starlight, none of us are really fit for fighting a giant robot so," they began to back away. "Hmph, don't think I'll let you escape," Tobias hissed as the mecha intercepted them and absorbed their magic. "Tobias please stop, leave them out of this!" Starlight begged. But he simply smirked and snapped his fingers as the robot takes off and begins capturing the rest of their villagers stealing their magic. "No!" "Starlight don't!" Twilight rushes over with Applejack to restrain her. "Y'all ain't no match against that there thing!" said Applejack. "No let me go!" Starlight cried out as Hyper Mecha Ghidorah absorbed all the magic from every single pony leaving them weakened on the ground. Once every last pony was sapped of their magic, Hyper Mecha Ghidorah slowly turned it's attention towards the group. "Now then, it's your turn," Tobias sneered as he slowly approached the group. The group stood their ground as the three heads slowly hovered above them with their jaws open. But before it could absorb their magic, a familiar roar quickly caught their attention. They all looked up as Godzilla appeared behind them. "Tch, that damn overgrown lizard, you fools got lucky this time, but I'll take your magic eventually," Tobias sneered before looking up Godzilla. "As for you I have someone else for you to play with, an old friend of yours, I'm sure you remember him," he snapped his fingers as one of the walls on a nearby rocky cliff, cracks open before a large metallic arm bursts out. Godzilla slowly turns towards the rocky cliff as another large mech emerges followed by it's robotic cry. It's body is covered in metal plates with hints of black and accents of neon red energy glowing through small cracks in it's armored plates. It's back was lined up with three rows of square tipped dorsal fins reminiscent of Godzilla's spines. "Oh shit," cursed Bernie. "Is that a robot Godzilla?" yelped Spike. "No, that's Mechagodzilla," corrected Ilene. Mechagodzilla slowly turned towards Godzilla, it's eyes glowing in the same neon red light as Godzilla roared at it angrily. "It may look like Mechagodzilla, but after Apex failed to create a proper titan killing machine, I made sure to enhance it's capabilities to resist all attacks from both Godzilla and Kong," Tobias snickered. Surely Godzilla will have some fun playing with his new and improved play buddy," "Hey where do you think you're going?" Starlight asked as he away from the group. "Your friends may have been sparred, but that doesn't mean there are other creatures in this world who can escape unscathed, my plan is almost complete and once I get my hands on your friend's magic, we will have become unstoppable, until that day comes, I'll be expecting you to survive," he cackled and snapped his fingers before warping out of the village with Hyper Mecha Ghidorah, leaving them and Godzilla with Mechagodzilla. "He's a tricky one," said Trapper. They look up as Godzilla and Mechagodzilla charges at each other with Mechagodzilla firing off several missiles from his shoulder canon before the two rams into each other. "We need to get everypony out of the village," said Twilight. Everyone nods, as they quickly rush in to help the weakened ponies out of the village. "Starlight?" She looks over to see her friend with her head down. "Look I know it looks bad, but we'll make him pay," Starlight clenches her teeth before following after the others. As they help the villagers escape, they occasionally look up to see Godzilla getting beat down by his mechanical counterpart. "Um is the big guy going to be alright?" asked Capper. "Tobias wasn't kidding when he said he enhanced Mechagodzilla's capabilities, Godzilla's getting his ass handed to him," Bernie grunted as he helped a pony to safety. They watch as Godzilla charges up and fires a stream of his atomic breath only for Mechagodzilla to counter with his own. However due to the enhancements, Mechagodzilla is able to push Godzilla back. As Godzilla struggles to get up, Mechagodzilla, walks over and grabs him before dragging him across the ground, destroying several houses in the process, before throwing him into several stone pillars. "Oh no, this looks bad," Fluttershy whimpers. As Godzilla lay on the ground, Mechagodzilla flips him onto his back before grabbing his face with his four pronged claws and attempts to pry it open while Godzilla swats at him. Godzilla grunts as Mechagodzilla holds his jaw open, charging up a blast, but right as he's able to give Godzilla his very own kiss of death, something jumps onto Mechagodzilla's back and forces his head back before he's able to fire his beam into Godzilla's mouth. "Kong!" Ilene's eyes widen as she catches sight of the titanic ape. As Kong holds Mechagodzilla in place, his tail comes up from behind, knocking the ape off his back and onto the ground. Kong groans and sits up as Mechagodzilla raises his claw charging it up with energy, ready to swing at him, but Godzilla quickly gets to his feet and grabs onto Mechagodzilla, distracting him while Kong grabs his other arm and drags him towards the ground. As Mechagodzilla recovers from the attack he raises his arm attempting to swing at Godzilla, only for Kong to stop his punch mid swing. Mechagodzilla knocks Godzilla back with several missiles before throwing Kong on top of Godzilla. "Ok this doesn't look any better," said Spike. They watch in anticipation as they pull themselves up. Mechagodzilla charges up another blast when something rams into him from behind and sends it tumbling forward into the ground. The group looks over to see a third monster resembling a dog lion hybrid standing behind the apex titan. The monster growls as it jumps up on it's hind legs, it's skin resembles that of bricks and several tufts of light brown fur cover it's body. "What in Equestria?!" Rarity yelped. "Doc isn't that?" asked Trapper. "Yeah no doubt it is," Ilene nodded. "What is it?" asked Fluttershy. "It looks kinda cute," "That's another one of Godzilla's ancient allies, a guardian monster that's said to have battled another version of Mechagodzilla with Godzilla in the past," explained Ilene. "Monarch has dubbed him King Caesar,"
Chapter 1: Kong Enters EquestriaUncharted Area:Hollow Earth The ground quakes as Kong slowly makes his way through the caves of Hollow Earth with Suko following closely behind. One of the great apes had recently discovered a series of cave systems near their lair and notified him about them due to the unknown dangers lurking beyond. Now tasked with scouting out the area for potential threats, Kong continued to cautiously traverse the system with Suko. Eventually the two came across an open area with a familiar looking vortex with a whitish bluish hue. As Kong took a step towards the vortex, Suko reluctantly grabbed his arm and tried to pull him back while whimpering nervously. But Kong simply ignored his pleas and continued towards the vortex, battle axe in hand. As he approached the edge of the vortex, he tightened his grip around the handle before jumping in, leaving behind a concerned Suko. Twilight's Castle:Equestria Starlight quickly makes her way to the throne room with the rest of the element bearers, Twilight had summoned the group after the cutie map had seemingly and unexpectedly called for their aid. Upon reaching the throne room, they found Twilight staring at the map with a puzzled expression. "Twilight we came as fast as we could!" Starlight gasped trying to catch her breath. "Ah girls perfect timing," said Twilight looking up at them. "You said the map called for ALL of us?" asked Applejack. "Well yes, maybe, I don't actually know," Twilight answered. "Huh what kinda answer is that?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Well take a look," said Twilight waving them over. The group surrounded the cutie map as it seemed to flicker, the cutie mark of all 6 element bearers seemed to flash and change almost as if the map was trying to decide on a candidate. "Um Twilight is the map alright?" asked Fluttershy. "That's what I've been trying to figure out, the map's never done this before, I asked Starswirl if he could look into it but even he seemed to have some trouble figuring it out," explained Twilight. "That's quite surprising, normally someone as intelligent as Starswirl would have no problem finding the answers to mysteries like this," said Starlight. "He's currently working with Sunburst trying to find answers, but I have a feeling even Sunburst won't know, considering that the map seems to be calling for all of us, this friendship problem seems really big," added Twilight. "Or maybe the map's just having trouble figuring out who can solve this problem the fastest!" Pinkie chimed in. "I don't think that's how it works darling," sighed Rarity. As the seven discussed amongst each other, they were suddenly interrupted by Sunburst and Starswirl rushing into the room. "Pardon our intrusion, Twilight are you here!?" Starswirl asked. "Starswirl did you figure it out?" asked Twilight. "Not yet, but never mind that now, we must hurry to the Hollow Shades!" he exclaimed. "The Hollow Shades!?" they all gasped in unison. "Is it the pony of shadows again?" asked Fluttershy. "No this is something more strange, we've managed to detect some kind of strong energy source coming from that place," explained Sunburst. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's move!" said Rainbow. "Lead the way!" added Twilight. The group quickly rushed out of the castle, following after Starswirl and Sunburst as they quickly made their way to the Hollow Shades once more. Hollow Earth Access Point "Glad you guys got here ASAP," Ilene said buckling up. "Aye no trouble at all, I mean it's not like you can just travel to Hollow Earth whenever you want ain't that right Bernie?" Trapper chuckled. "Yeah but I'm surprised you actually agreed to let me go this time," he said looking at Ilene. "You've already done this before, plus you're skills really helped us out last time," said Ilene. "Guess we can't call you a kid anymore huh?" he smiled looking at Jia. "You can't say no to me anymore" Jia looked at her adoptive mother as she replied in sign language. "Well we might need you for Kong" Ilene replied back in sign language as Jia smiled. "Alright buckle up you beautiful people," Trapper said as he started up the HEAV. As everyone buckled up, the transport slowly began to ascend as the access point opened up in front of them. "Let's roll!" With that, the HEAV dove into the vortex as it made it's journey down into Hollow Earth. Hollow Shades:Equestria "Well here we are," said Applejack. The group stops to catch their breath as they finally make it to the Hollow Shades. "To think that we'd end up having to come back here," said Starlight. "So what exactly is this energy source you were talking about?" asked Twilight. "I'm not exactly sure, but I know for a fact that this is where the energy is the strongest," explained Sunburst. "You all feel it too don't you, in the atmosphere?" "Now that you mention it, the air definitely feels off," Starlight agreed. At that moment the ground began to shake catching the group off guard. "What the hay!?" Rainbow Dash yelped. "An earthquake!?" Applejack gasped. "Everyone stick together!" Starswirl ordered. The group huddled together as Fluttershy grabbed onto Starlight. Suddenly the ground where the well of shades was located began to sink as a massive vortex appeared beneath the earth. The group yelped and quickly began backing away as the vortex grew in size eventually swallowing a huge chunk of the earth. The group quickly gathered their composure and turned towards the massive vortex as it glowed in a blue and white hue. "Well that was certainly a rude awakening," Rarity coughed as the dust settled. "This is it, this is the strong energy source we detected!" Sunburst exclaimed. "What this thing?" asked Rainbow Dash. Twilight cautiously approached the edge and looked down. "What is it?" asked Fluttershy. "Looks like some kind of vortex," said Twilight. "Although where it leads, that's a whole another mystery," "Ooh, I like it, we should jump in!" Pinkie giggled. "I don't think that's a good idea sugarcube," said Applejack. "Hey is it just me or is the thing glowing?" asked Rainbow Dash. But before anyone could answer a giant hand suddenly emerged and latched itself onto the edge causing the group to scatter and move back. "What in Celestia's name!?" Applejack gasped. The group turned back towards the massive hand that emerged and noticed that it was adorned with a mechanized gauntlet. The gauntlet begins to emit the sound of mechanical whirring as the hand tightens it's grip on the sides of the vortex and before long a large creature covered in thick black fur emerges carrying a large bone with a jagged stone attached to it, made to resemble an axe. As the creature stands up,it's sheer size is put on full display for the group. "Sweet Celestia what is that!?" Rarity yelped. "It looks like some kind of animal," said Starlight. "Ooh look at how fluffy it looks!" Pinkie giggled. The creature studies them as the group stares back in awe. "Um it's just staring at us," said Rainbow Dash. "It's not going to attack us is it?" Applejack. The group watches in anticipation waiting for the creature to do something, but much to their surprise it simply lets out a low groan before slowly walking off in a random direction, the ground shaking beneath them with every step. "It didn't do anything?" asked Sunburst. "Maybe it's not the aggressive type?" suggested Fluttershy. "But with that sheer size it's certainly not safe to let it just wander around," said Starlight. "I agree, we should follow it and see what it does for the time being," suggested Starswirl. "Should it start getting violent we may have no choice but to fight it off. With that the group quickly follows after the creature in hopes of studying it's behavior and figuring out it's motive.
Chapter 2: OutsidersGreat Ape's Lair:Hollow Earth Ilene wiped the sweat from her forehead as the members of the task force began to regroup. "Well?" "Nothing so far," said Trapper. "Are you certain it's around here?" asked Bernie. "The research team at Outpost one said the energy readings were detected around here," said Ilene. She turned towards Jia who seemed to be staring off in a certain direction. She walked over and tapped her on the shoulder. "What's up?" "I can sense Kong," Jia responded in sign language. "Where?"" Ilene asked. "What's she saying?" asked Bernie. "Jia says she can sense Kong nearby," answered Ilene. "Well this IS his new kingdom," said Trapper. "It's coming from that way," Jia says pointing at a small entrance to a tunnel. "She says he's somewhere down that way," Ilene says. "Well only one way to find out," said Trapper. "Let's go check it out shall we?" The group quickly piled back into the HEAV and began making their way down the dark tunnel. "Hey wait something's up ahead," said Ilene. As Trapper began to slow down, they came out into a huge open area where Suko was standing in front of the newly opened vortex looking somewhat nervous. "Mini Kong!?" Bernie exclaimed. As the HEAV slowly approached, Suko turned around and looked at them before pointing at the vortex and began whimpering and howling as he imitated Kong's behavior. "And it looks like it's that vortex that the research team had mentioned," said Ilene. "Should we even go in there?" asked Bernie. "I can sense Kong on the other side," Jia said in sign language. "Jia said he went in there," said Ilene. "Well guess there's only one way to find out" said Trapper. Although slightly reluctant, Trapper piloted the HEAV into the vortex as the group prepared to see where it lead. Sweet Apple Acres:Equestria Kong studied the long rows of apple trees while Twilight and her friends watched from afar. He looked down at one of the trees and hungrily stared at the juicy apples hanging from it. "What's it doing?" asked Rainbow Dash. "It looks like it wants some apples," said Starlight. "It better not be thinkin' about pluckin' them apple trees," said Applejack. They watched as Kong gently tapped the side of the tree causing several apples to fall off. He quickly reached down and begin picking them up before popping them into his mouth like little candies. "Wow Applejack, it's just good as you!" Pinkie giggled as Applejack stared at Kong in awe. "I mean I wouldn't doubt it, it's almost as tall as Canterlot castle," said Sunburst adjusting his glasses. "But it does seem like it does not pose a real threat," said Starswirl. "But we can't be sure, we still don't know why it's here," said Twilight. "I could try talking to it," suggested Fluttershy. "I suppose if anypony was able to communicate with animals it'd be Fluttershy," said Rarity. They watched as Fluttershy nervously walked over to Kong as he continued munching on apples. "Are you sure this is going to be safe?" asked Starlight. "She's the element of kindness I'm sure she'll be fine," said Rainbow Dash. "Um excuse me?" Fluttershy called up to him nervously. Kong briefly stops snacking on apples and slowly turns his attention to Fluttershy. "Um hello there Mr. uh monkey, um my name is Fluttershy, me and my friends were just wondering what you're doing here," Kong lets out a deep groan as he stares at her. "Um do you not understand me?" Fluttershy asked. Kong simply responds with hand gestures as he attempted to communicate with the pony. "Doesn't seem like she's having much luck," said Starlight. As Kong continued his attempts to communicate with Fluttershy he suddenly stopped and looked up. "Um Mr. monkey is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked. They watched as Kong gets to his feet and picks up his battle axe. "Fluttershy, what's going on with it?" Twilight asked as the rest of the group came out of hiding. "I don't know," replied Fluttershy. "Hey do y'all hear something?" asked Applejack. The group stopped talking to listen as the sound of jet engines could be heard coming towards them. "What in Celestia's name is that?" asked Rarity. "Up there!" Starswirl said looking up. The others look in the same direction as a large object came flying in their direction before coming to a halt several yards from where they were. The object slowly descended before landing. The group watched as four humans suddenly rushed out of the object and towards Kong. "Are those?" asked Starlight. "Yeah, no doubt about it, they're humans," said Sunburst. As the four approached Kong, they suddenly stopped when they saw Twilight and her friends. "Whoa," Trapper raised his hands upon seeing the colorful ponies in front of them. "Bitch what?"Bernie asked. "Oh my goodness," Ilene stopped to catch her breath. "Yo I'm not dreaming am I?" Bernie asked rubbing his eyes. "No those are not hallucinations Bernie ol' buddy," said Trapper. "I've never seen anything like this," said Ilene. "Hey are they talking about us?" asked Rainbow Dash. "They are looking at us," said Applejack. As both parties cautiously approach each other, Jia suddenly stops in her tracks and turns her attention towards the direction of ponyville. "Hey what's up?" Ilene asks in sign language. "I think something's here," Jia responds. "What do you mean?" Ilene asks. "I don't know how to explain it, something just feels off," Jia responds "Hey what's she saying?" asked Bernie. "Jia says something's here," Ilene explains. "Something? Like what?" asked Bernie. "Yeah it's not just her," agreed Trapper. "I definitely felt like the air about this place was off, and it's not because we're in some other dimension," At that moment Ilene's phone begins to vibrate. She quickly takes it out and freezes. "Oh shit," Ilene curses. "What?" asked Bernie. "There's a titan here," said Ilene. "How's that possible?" asked Trapper. "I'm not sure but the readings are dangerously close," said Ilene. "Like how close?"asked Bernie. As if one cue, a loud monstrous roar filled the air. "What in Equestria!?" Rarity yelped. "It sounded like it came from ponyville!" Sunburst exclaimed. Kong growled as he picked up his axe and quickly ran in the direction of the small village. "Come on girls we need to hurry!" said Twilight. The members of the task force watched as the ponies quickly rushed off in the same direction as Kong. "Let's hurry too, everyone back in the HEAV," Ilene quickly rushed back in the vehicle followed by the others and soon they were also headed in the direction of ponyville. Ponyville:Equestria As Twilight and her friends finally made it back to ponyville they were met with partially destroyed buildings and terrified ponies running around. "What in Equestria!?" Twilight gasped. As the ponies tried to piece together what was happening, they were joined by the Monarch task force. "It's around here?" asked Bernie. "Yeah no doubt," answered Ilene. At that moment, Kong crash lands in front of them causing the ground to shake and sending Rarity flying. Thankfully Trapper quickly rushes in and catches her before she hit the ground. "You alright there madam?" Trapper asks as she looks up at him. "Oh um thank you darling," Trapper sets her down as she dusts herself off. Suddenly another roar fills the air as two buildings are demolished revealing a second more horrifying creature standing in the rubble. The creature had a crocodilian shaped snout, with two giant legs and a long thorny tail, with distinct spikes at the end of the monster's elbows. The monster roars at Kong as it's tail whips around. "Is that?" asks Bernie. "Oh yeah that's a Skull Crawler all right," said Trapper. "No not just any Skull Crawler, that's the alpha, otherwise known as the Skull Devil," said Ilene. Both Kong and the Skull Devil roar at each other before charging at one another. "We need to go, if we stay here we'll end up crushed," "But where are we supposed to go?" asked Bernie. "Hey look it's her royal majesties!" Everyone looked up as both Celestia and Luna suddenly appears and begins blasting the Skull Devil with their magic while Kong attempts to subdue the monster. "Starswirl!" Twilight and the others turn around as the other pillars joins them. "Friends, your timing couldn't be more perfect," said Starswirl. "What in Celestia's name is going on?" asked Mage Meadowbrook. "I unfortunately don't know but now's not the time to be asking questions, the princesses need our help!" said Starswirl. "Let's do our part as well girls!" said Twilight. The group of ponies turn towards the Skull Devil as Kong slams it into the ground before landing a punch to it's face with his BEAST glove. As the Skull Devil gets to it's feet, it hisses at Kong before swinging it's tail at him, but Kong quickly grabs it and slices it off with his battle axe as it let's out a wail of agony. Just as he did though, the dismembered limb suddenly began to glow in a golden glow before dissolving away into nothingness. "What?" Ilene murmured. She watched as the Skull Devil whimpered in pain, it's tail stump glowing in a golden aura. The Monarch task force watched as Starlight, the element bearers, and the pillars joined Celestia,Luna, and Kong in battle. While, Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Starlight, and Starswirl attempted to distract the Skull Devil by blasting it with their magic, the others attempted to attack the two legs hoping to knock it off balance. "Well would you look at that," Trapper chuckled as they watched the ponies combat the monster. The Skull Devil hissed at the ponies on the ground and attempted to snap at them when Pinkie aimed the barrel of her canon at it's face. "Surprise attack!" she giggled as she blasted the monster in the face with confetti. As the disoriented titan tried to recover, both Applejack and Rockhoof began bashing away at the two legs. The Skull Devil yelped in pain and, in a desperate attempt, tried to squish the ponies but not before Kong brought the axe down on it's head finishing the monster for good. "Ok that's brutal," said Bernie. They watched as the Skull Devil groaned and collapsed as the ponies cheered. "Hm, something wrong doc?" asked Trapper. "Do me a favor, watch what happens to the Skull Devil," said Ilene. Confused Trapper turns his attention towards the corpse of the titan as it begins to glow in the same golden light and dissolves away leaving behind a giant hole where the titan used to be. "Huh, is that supposed to happen?" asked Trapper. "You saw it too right?' asked Ilene. "Something seems off," She looks over to Jia who seemed to be caught in a trance of sorts. "Hey you ok?" she asks as she shakes her on the shoulder. "The Skull Devil, it's body didn't seem organic," Jia responds. "So you noticed it too," Jia nods as Ilene confirms this. She looks up as Kong walks over to them. "Stop right there!" Kong turns around as Celestia and Luna glares at him. "Don't think you can get away after all the damage you've caused," Celestia growled. "You must accept the consequences of your actions," Luna added. Both the humans and ponies watch in anticipation, as Celestia, and Luna stare down Kong. The tension continue to grow between both species.
Chapter 3: A Storm is BrewingThe dust settles as Celestia and Luna prepares to take down Kong. All the while, the ponies of Equestria and the humans of the Monarch Task Force watch in anticipation. "Prepare yourself foul beast!" Luna hissed as she and Celestia began charging up another magic blast, while Kong gripped his battle axe. But just as the two alicorns was about to launch their attack, Jia quickly ran up and waved her hands in the air trying to get the two sister's attention. "Human please stand down, do not interfere!" Celestia ordered. "Wait,please wait!" Ilene called out to them as she ran to Jia's side. "We beg of you, please do not hurt Kong, he did nothing wrong!" "Kong?" asked Celestia. "Is that the name of this beast?" asked Luna. "Never mind that just who are you?" "If you would please come down, we'll explain everything," Ilene said lowering her arms. Curious but cautiously, the two began to descend as the rest of the ponies began to gather around. "Very well,we'll listen to your tale," said Luna. Ilene looked back at Jia, Trapper, and Bernie and nodded. "Alright I'll start from the beginning," Hollow Earth Access Point:The Surface Hampton quickly made her way to the monitoring room as the alarms blared. Researchers and armed soldiers were scrambling around trying to get to their respective stations. "Talk to me," Hampton said pointing to a researcher. "Godzilla's on the move again," the researcher explained. "This is the angriest he's been, he's already destroyed two more facilities," "Two more?!" Hampton sighed. "That's five down already, what's pissing him off this much?" "We're not certain," said the researcher. "And what of the Task Force?" asked Hampton. "We still haven't been able to reach them," said the researcher. "Outpost one has been trying their best but it seems nothing has worked, it's safe to assume that wherever that vortex took them, it's not of this world as that's when they lost track of the team," "Director Hampton!" she turned around to see an armed soldier running up to her. "Terrible news!" "What is it?" asked Hampton. Ponyville:Equestria "And that's pretty much the gist of everything," Ilene said. The ponies began talking amongst themselves as she finished her explanation. "We understand all the panic caused by the titan attack and we want to apologize on Kong's behalf but rest assured that he does not mean harm," said Ilene. "I suppose we can let it slide this time," sighed Celestia. "He DID protect everypony from that Skull Demon of whatever it was called," added Luna. "So what's the plan now?" "If there's anything we can do to help, then we'd be glad to lend a hoof," said Celestia. "Well I mean it's obvious we should find a way to close of that portal so no other titans can get past right?" asked Bernie. "Well actually about that, there's something that's been bothering us," said Ilene. "And that is?" asked Starlight. "After Kong killed the Skull Devil, it's body somehow vaporized into thin air," explained Ilene. "Wait did it?" asked Pinkie. "I guess we were all too busy celebrating to even notice," said Applejack. "Back on topic, the Skull Devil is an organic creature,one that Kong had killed on Skull Island in the past," explained Ilene. "The fact that it appeared, in this world let alone and that it just disappeared seems kinda unnatural," "I suppose it does leave some questions," said Twilight. "By the way Twilight, I haven't noticed until now but where's Spike?" asked Fluttershy. "He was supposed to be the changeling hive as part of business as an ambassador," explained Twilight. "All by himself!?" Rarity gasped. "I'm worried too, but he has Thorax by his side so I think he should be fine, I think," Twilight said nervously. "Back to the topic at hand, you said that the Skull Devil had vaporized into thin air after Kong killed it right?" Sunburst asked Ilene. "I was hoping we could gather some of that golden dust as a sample and study it but it seems like vanished without a trace after it's body disintegrated," said Ilene. "Uh hey what's your uh friend doing?" asked Flash Magnus asked pointing a hoof at Trapper. "Hey Trapper you alright?" asked Ilene. "Yeah, I'm just trying to see if I can get in contact with Outpost 1 or the surface but I'm not getting anything, probably because we're in a different world," explained Trapper. "I was hoping that maybe we can get one of those Monarch researchers to study this weird phenomenon but it seems like we're going to have to go back if we want to reach them," "I hate to ask you this but can you?" asked Ilene. "Yeah sure, not like I'm going to take 50 years, I'll be back with some info, in the meantime try to get along with your new buddies," Trapper waved goodbye before he hopped onto the HEAV and took off back towards the vortex in the Hollow Shades. "Well there he goes, what now?" asked Bernie. "Our original plan WAS to investigate the vortex and what was on the other side, but seeing everything that's happened I'd say our mission has changed," sighed Ilene. "Right now we need to figure out how the Skull Devil was resurrected and why it was here as well as the aftermath," "Well I guess that makes sense," said Bernie. "It might also be in our interest to find any clues that may lead to why Godzilla was acting erratically back on the surface," continued Ilene. "And we'll help with your investigations," said Twilight. "As the protectors of Equestria it's our duty to make sure all future calamities are averted," Her friends as well as the pillars and the princesses all nod in agreement as they join Twilight. "We really appreciate your efforts, thank you," said Ilene. "So where do we begin?" asked Starlight. Ilene was about to answer when she was interrupted by the cries of someone. "Twilight!!!" The group turned towards the voice as a familiar dragon came flying towards them. "Spike, you're back already?" Twilight asked. "Yeah," Spike gasped trying to catch his breath. "Wait are those?" He looks up at Ilene, Bernie, and Jia. "Yeah it's a long story, but no matter, what happened?" asked Twilight. "Ah Twilight this is bad, as I was coming back I walked past the field where we defeated Tirek,Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow, and they were gone!" Spike exclaimed. All the ponies gasped as Spike revealed the terrible news. "What about the bell?" asked Twilight. "The bell was gone too!" said Spike. "I think they might have taken it!" "Come on we need to go check this out," said Twilight. "Lead the way Spike," Spike nodded as he led the ponies, the task force, and Kong to the field that held the statue of the three villains. Apex Cybernetics Storage Facility:Hong Kong It was the dead of night and the facility was filled with armed guards as they ran about in a wild panic. "Did you find them yet?" one guard asked another. "Not yet sir!" the second guard responded. "God dammit, where the hell did they go!?" the first guard cursed under his breath. "Keep searching we'll find them!" the two soldiers went their separate ways not noticing the intruder hiding in the ventilation above them. They continued to make their way through the ventilation system as the sound of voices and footsteps of more guards ran past under them. "Find the intruder, don't let them escape with those blueprints!" one of the guards yelled. After some time, the intruder finally reached the outside and jumped down before making his way towards the HEAV hiding behind the rock. They quickly climbed in and started the engines before flying towards the massive hole leading into Hollow Earth. Fields near Canterlot Castle:Equestria The group stood in shock at what they were seeing, after having defeated Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow, they had been turned into stone statues by Celestia,Luna, and Discord as punishment but now all they saw was the pedestal and chunks of broken rocks. Grogar's bell which had also been lying nearby was also missing. "Oh I prayed it wouldn't be true," sighed Twilight. "But how did they escape?" asked Applejack. "I'm not sure, but if they escaped, then Equestria's in serious trouble," said Twilight. "Wait," The group turned towards Ilene as she communicated with Jia. "What's she saying?" asked Bernie. "She says something feels off about this whole situation," explained Ilene. "Look even Kong looks on edge," They all look up to see Kong scanning the area almost as if he was searching for something. "I mean yeah who wouldn't be nervous?" asked Rainbow Dash. "This IS the three most dangerous villains in Equestria we're talking about," "No that's not it," said Ilene. "She thinks that something else besides the three you mentioned might have been here," "Somepony else?" asked Spike. "Whoever that somepony is, they must be the culprit who freed the three," suggested Celestia. Their thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Ilene's phone began to vibrate. She pulled out her phone and the color from her face disappeared. "Um Miss Ilene?" Fluttershy walked over to her. "Another titan reading," said Ilene. "Wait another?" asked Bernie. "Yes thankfully this one is much weaker than the Skull Devil, not to mention it's dormant as of right now," explained Ilene. "It's pretty close, I can sense it," Jia said. Ilene nodded as she checked her phone again. "Hold on," Ilene said scrolling through her phone. "What is it?" asked Applejack. "I'm detecting three,heat signals, the sign of some form of life," said Ilene. "Three?" asked Starlight. "Do you think those three might be Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow?" asked Applejack. "That's a possibility," said Sunburst. "Do you know their locations?" "It's fairly close to the titan reading," said Ilene. "What?" "What is it?" asked Luna. "I've tried to pinpoint the location and it's some sort of research facility," said Ilene. "Research Facility?" asked Starlight. "Yes but you're not gonna like where it's stationed," said Ilene. "What do you mean by that exactly?" asked Rarity. "From what I can see here, the research facility is stationed, that way," she said pointing towards Canterlot. "Wait but that's!" gasped. Somnambula. "This is bad, if those three monsters are inside this research facility and facility is located in Canterlot," Twilight began to panic. "Not to mention if that titan starts moving," added Bernie. "Come friends we must make our way to Canterlot!" exclaimed Starswirl. They all nod in agreement as they quickly make their way back to Canterlot.
Chapter 4: Secrets UncoveredAfter having learned that about the mysterious facility stationed in Canterlot as well as the dormant titan and the legion of doom's escape, the group rushed back to the city in hopes of finding answers. Upon reaching Canterlot, the group quickly began discussing their next plan. "First things first we need to track down and locate this facility, if anyone finds a suspicious looking building let everyone else know as soon as possible," said Ilene. 'And be wary of those three villains," Everyone nodded and split up to begin their search, however after nearly 15 minutes of no success, they decided to regroup. "So no one found anything?" asked Ilene. "I'm starting to think that this facility doesn't exist," said Starlight. "Yeah what she said," Pinkie agreed as she took a bite out of a cupcake. "You weren't even trying to help out Pinkie," said Rainbow Dash. "We tried asking around, but no dice," said Flash Sentry. "Nopony has seen anything resembling a research facility," added Mistmane. "Bernie?" Ilene asked turning towards him. "That's a negative," he sighed. "It has to be somewhere," sighed Ilene. "Hm where did Celestia and Luna run off to?" asked Applejack. "Mr. Kong isn't around here either," said Fluttershy. "They were worried about the castle so they headed back," said Twilight. "But they told us to inform them if we found anything," "As for Kong, we had to have him wait outside the city, wouldn't want to cause a panic," added Ilene. "Oh," Fluttershy let out a disappointed sigh.As the group continued to discuss, Pinkie, who had just finished up her snack, threw the wrapper on the ground near the statue of the alicorn sisters. "Seriously Pinkie?" Starlight grumbled. "What?" asked Pinkie. "You could at least throw away your trash like every other pony," Starlight sighed as she walked over to pick up the wrapper. As she picked up the wrapper, the plaque on the statue immediately caught her eye. "Huh?" "What is Starlight?" Spike asked. She narrowed her eyes to get a closer look and realized that it looked slightly off. "Starlight?" Sunburst asked as he walked over to her. Without warning, Starlight placed her hoof over the plaque and pushed it with a resounding click. She jumped back as the statue's eyes begin to glow and slide revealing a hidden passage. "A hidden passage?" asked Twilight. "How in Equestria did you do that darling?" Rarity asked. "I just pushed the plaque on the statue cause it looked strange," explained Starlight. "Wow way to go Starlight!" cheered Pinkie. "To think that such a contraption was here all along, we should report this to the sisters," said Starswirl. "Twilight I assume that you and your friends would be investigating, so we'll leave that to you, we will go inform the Celestia and Luna about this," "Thank you Starswirl," Twilight nodded as the pillars headed towards the castle. "Alright I suppose the rest of us should head down," suggested Twilight. "Be careful, we don't know what we might encounter, it's best to stay on guard," said Ilene. Twilight nodded as she began descending down the stairs with the others following closely behind. All the while they failed to notice the two hooded figures watching them from afar. Salem Unit 1:Atlanta The sky above Atlanta darkens as Godzilla absorbs the remaining bits of nuclear energy, leaving behind the charred remains of the facility. He lets out an angered roar as the nuclear energy courses through his entire body, the dorsal spines glowing in a pink hue. He snorts as he slowly makes his way towards the sea. He had already destroyed 15 of the world's nuclear facilities and was now satisfied with the power he had obtained. Now there was only one place left to go, home of Apex Cybernetics' HQ, Hong Kong. Underneath Canterlot:Equestria The doors slid open as the group cautiously stepped into the strange underground facility with Twilight in the lead. As it turns out, Ilene was right about there being a secret research facility in Canterlot, they, however, wasn't expecting it to be located underground. "Who knew that something like this was underground Canterlot," said Starlight. "It's quite damp and creepy though," Rarity whimpered. They continued walking through the dark halls until they came across a door that was slightly ajar with light pouring out. "Should we go in there?" asked Fluttershy. Twilight swallowed hard she began leading the group towards the door.She pressed her face against the side and peaked inside. "Hm doesn't look like anypony's inside," said Twilight. "In that case," Pinkie giggles as she swings the door open and hops inside despite opposition from Twilight. The others follow Pinkie's lead and find themselves standing inside a small room with a giant monitor screen illuminating the space. Underneath the screen was a desk with several computer terminals as well as stacks of books. "What is this place?" asked Spike. "It's like a monitoring room of sorts," said Bernie. "A what?" asked Rainbow Dash. "The giant monitor, it must be filled with tons of information," explained Bernie. Whoever was using these terminals must've been using it to upload confidential data," Ilene walked over and began tapping away at one of the terminals. "Hey uh should you really be doing that?" asked Applejack. "If this thing holds confidential info then surely they must have answers to some of our questions," said Ilene. The group gathered around as she tapped away. "Wait what's this?" she clicked on a folder and opened the contents. What came up were several documents on different titans. "What the hell?" Bernie mumbled. "Are those titans?" asked Starlight. "Yeah but, these files were supposed to be Monarch property, why is it here?" Ilene murmured. She continued to click through the files until one for the Skull Devil popped up. "Oh my god," "Bitch what?" Bernie murmured as he walked up to the monitor. "That's the thing Kong killed right?" asked Twilight. "Yes," Ilene nodded. She closed out of the documents and continued searching through the data. Eventually she came to another file and pulled it up. They were immediately met with the Apex logo and the blueprints of a robotic monster. "Oh shit," Ilene cursed under her breath. "That, that's the blueprints for Mechagodzilla isn't it?" Bernie asked nervously. "It's no doubt it," said Ilene. "But why is this here?" "What else can you find on here?" asked Bernie. She closed out of the documents and continued searching, eventually she came across another set of files and pulled it up. What came up was an image of Grogar's bell as well a list of it's capabilities, and a detailed analysis on the artifact. "Grogar's bell!?" gasped Twilight. "So whoever is running this place is somehow connected to the Skull Devil attack and the also possibly the culprit that freed the three villains you guys mentioned," said Ilene. "Not only that but they have possession of the Mechagodzilla blueprints from Apex," added Bernie. Ilene closes the document and attempts to continue investigating, but as she tries to open another document, she's greeted with a security lock. "Damn, it's password protected," Ilene sighs as she backs away from the monitor. "Looks like that's as far as we're going to get," "We haven't seen any signs of Tirek,Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow too," said Sunburst. "But if this guy freed Tirek,Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow doesn't that mean they're here in this facility somewhere?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Hm a sharp one aren't you?" a voice replied. The group turns towards the source of the voice as a man in a lab coat steps into the room pointing a gun at the group. "Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in," he chuckled as the group slowly stepped back,the man's fiery reddish-orange eyes glaring at them. "Whoa, whoa man now just wait a minute," said Bernie holding up his arms. The man looked towards Ilene with his gun still aimed at her. "Long time no see Dr. Andrews," he chuckled. "Who are you?" she demanded. "Aw did you forget about me Dr?" the man sneered. "Such a shame, I thought you were smarter than those other Monarch fools," "Um Miss Ilene do you know this person?" Fluttershy whimpered. "Oh she knows me very well little pony," the man sneered. "Or maybe it's appropriate to say that she's forgotten about me," Ilene takes a closer look and freezes. "No, Dr. Hawthorne?" she asks. "Ah so you DO remember me," he hisses. "Who?" asked Spike. "Dr. Tobias Willard Hawthorne, an expert crypto zoologist, ex-employee of Apex Cybernetics, and the head researcher of Monarch's Titan Division," explained Ilene. "He was the one responsible for collecting and gathering data on the numerous titans and compiling them into documents for Monarch,last time I heard, he was fired after his connections with Apex was discovered by the Director of Monarch," "Exactly," said Tobias. "But I don't understand why are you here?" asked Ilene. "Hmph you really want to know?" Tobias sneered. "Ever since Monarch tossed me aside, I've been coming up with ways to exact my revenge on them after you stole all my work," "You don't get it Tobias Monarch just didn't want the public finding out that the one responsible for gathering the data on the titans was an ex-employee of Apex after the Mechagodzilla incident!" Ilene explained. "Silence!" Tobias hissed as he pointed the barrel of his weapon at her head. "I don't want ANY of your excuses, I've sacrificed so much to help Monarch but ever since my past was revealed, all anyone sees me as is a self centered scientist that contributed to the creation of that damn robot!" "Aye man, let's just calm down alright," said Bernie. "This isn't your dispute pal so stick to your own place," Tobias sneered pointing the gun at him. "Listen Tobias I understand how you feel but you don't have to do this," said Ilene. "Hmph, so what you think trying to empathizing with me is going to save you?" Tobias growled. "Forget it,it's obvious that Monarch is trying to keep the order of nature in check by monitoring the titans, but once they see what I've got planned they won't need to worry about that and soon I'll get the recognition I deserve," "What you've got planned?" asked Twilight. "Ah yes as for your little pony friends,I do apologize that i had to drag your little pals into this mess," said Tobias. "Who are you referring to?" asked Starlight. Tobias smirked as he walked over to the monitor and opened up the security footage caught by the cameras, focusing on 4 cells containing a weakened Tirek,Chrysalis,Cozy Glow,and Sombra. "Wha!?" gasped Twilight. "It's them!" added Spike. "Sombra's there too!?" asked Applejack. "Like I said I do apologize but I really needed their magic, of course they wouldn't be in this mess if they just cooperated, but of course they had to make things hard for themselves," explained Tobias. "Wait, needed their magic, so it was YOU who took Grogar's bell?!" asked Starlight. "Mm very sharp there my little pony friend," Tobias snickered. "But why?" asked Twilight. "You're a human, what need do you have for their magic?" Tobias sighed as he turned off the monitor and faced the group, his gun still pointed at them. "Mechagodzilla was meant to be the true protector of Earth, however his power wasn't fully realized until Mr Simmons got his hands on Hollow Earth's energy," explained Tobias. "My creation however is different, Hollow Earth energy is not enough, it needs something more potent, more power and that's when I discovered this world, a world of magic," Jia swallows hard as she holds onto her mother. "I originally assumed that magic wasn't going to be enough, but when I tested my goodness what a breakthrough, the numerous capabilities, the endless possibilities, if I could feed my creation magic then surely it will become much powerful than Apex's Mechagodzilla," "That's why you stole their magic?" asked Sunburst. "I thought it would be enough, but no, I need to feed my creation more and more magic if I were to unleash it's full potential, but it seems like I won't have to search far now," he smirked as he looked at Spike and the ponies. "Normally I would have any intruders executed but seeing as a sense a great deal of magic from you, I'll save you the punishment of death and instead you'll become my creation's next power source!" He laughed as he pointed the gun at Twilight. But just before he could pull the trigger, a small object landed in between Tobias and the group before exploding and filling the room with smoke. "What the hell!?" "What's in Celestia's name?" Rarity yelped. "Psst hey," a voice called out to them. Spike turned towards the voice to see a familiar cat poking his head out from the vent. "Wha Capper?" Spike asked. "Shh, ask questions later, we can escape through here," Capper waved them over. Spike looked up at the others and nodded. "Don't think you can escape from me!" Tobias yelled as he desperately searched for Twilight and her friends.Not wanting to waste any time they all quickly followed Capper into the vents while Tobias was distracted. Once the smoke cleared out disappeared Tobias turned towards the direction of the vent. "You may have gotten away, but next time you won't be so lucky," he growled.
Chapter 5: Corrupted AnguirusCapper slides the box covering the hole out of the way and climbs out before helping the others out. As everyone stops to catch their breath they look around to find themselves back above ground in Canterlot's main plaza. "That was close now wasn't it?" asked Capper. "You really saved our flanks darling thank you," said Rarity. "It's not just me you should be thanking," said Capper. Everyone looked at him with confusion when a familiar blue mare appeared before them. "Trixie!?" Starlight gasped. "I should've know, that smoke must've been your smoke bombs," said Twilight. "Indeed and a fine performance on my part if I do say so myself!" she boasted. "But how did you find us?" asked Spike. "Oh excuse for being nosy but we followed you," said Capper. "By the way who's the new crew?" Twilight and her friends quickly took the time to introduce the members of Monarch's Task Force to Trixie and Capper. "Well it's an honor to truly meet the friends of these ponies here," said Capper taking a bow. "Um introductions are nice, but shouldn't we hurry to the princesses?" asked Sunburst. "It's important that we notify them of what we've found," "Right we should get to it, let's go girls," Twilight said. But before anyone could go anywhere, the ground beneath them began to shake. "What the hay!?" Rainbow Dash yelped. As the shaking intensified, the ground in the central plaza erupted as a massive creature emerged from the hole roaring and causing the nearby ponies to run away screaming in terror. As the creature crawled out of the hole,the group was able to get a good look at the monster. The monster had resembled a turtle or armadillo with large golden spikes protruding from it's back. It had several horns on top of it's head and one small horn on it's nose, it's eyes reddish-orange eyes burned with hatred as it stomped around, attempting to crush anything that got in it's path. "It's the Armored Killer," Bernie stuttered as he stepped back. "Anguirus," Ilene said looking up at the titan. Jia stepped towards the titan as Ilene tried to pull her back. "What are you doing?" "It looks like it's in pain," Jia responded in sign language. Ilene looks up at Anguirus as it roars and violently thrashes around, the spikes on it's back glowing a brilliant golden aura. 'We have to stop this thing before it destroys the entire city!" Sunburst. "I would like to see you try," a voice snickered. The group looks over to see Tobias standing near the entrance of the secret passage, with a group of armed guards. "Tobias!" Twilight stepped back as Fluttershy quickly hid behind Starlight. "Hm, I'm glad you took it upon yourself to remember me," Tobias chuckled looking over at Twilight and her friends. "Now then if you wish to save your precious city, I would recommend you surrender without resistance," he snapped his fingers as the guards surrounded the group with their weapons drawn. "Not so fast foul human!" Tobias looked over as Celestia,Luna, and the pillars rushed in. "Princesses!" Twilight let out a sigh of relief. "Oh goodie more fodder," Tobias snickered. "Release them at once!" Luna ordered. "And if I refuse?" he sneered. "Then you will leave us no choice," Celestia and Luna approached Tobias with their horns glowing. But Tobias simply smirked as he produced a small mallet from his back pocket. "No wait don't attack him!" Twilight tried to warn the two but it was too late, as Celestia and Luna attempted to blast Tobias, he simply raised Grogar's bell and hit it with the mallet as it began absorbing their magic. The two wailed in pain before collapsing to the ground as everyone watched in shock. "NO!" Twilight rushed over to their side while Tobias laughed maniacally. "Such fools, I expected better from two ponies who call themselves the rulers," Tobias snickered. "You treacherous human," Starswirl growled. "Friends we mustn't let this one to escape," The rest of the pillars nodded as they surrounded him. "Hm, am i really the one you should be worried about?" Tobias asked. "What are you saying?" asked Somnambula. Tobias smirked and snapped his fingers as Anguirus let out a anguished roar before curling up into a ball and began rolling around destroying nearby buildings. "If you wish to protect your city, i think you better do something about that one first," he sneered. Starswirl bit his lip, clearly conflicted about what he should do. "Having trouble deciding I see, of course you can make things easier for yourself by surrendering peacefully of course," "No Starswirl you mustn't," Celestia said. "The same goes for you," Tobias said pointing his gun at Twilight and her friends. Twilight swallowed hard as she turned towards Ilene, Bernie, and Jia. "You know Anguirus isn't going to wait," Tobias reminded.Starswirl looked over at the titan that was now wreaking havoc around Canterlot. "Well what's it going to be?" "All right you win," Starswirl sighed in defeat. The other pillars looked over at him with shocked expressions. "Wise choice old friend," he smirked and raised the bell before hitting it with the mallet, absorbing his magic. The other pillars rushed to his side as he collapsed. As they tried to comfort him, Tobias struck the bell again absorbing the rest of the pillars' magic. "Now then what will the rest of you do?" Tobias asked turning towards Twilight and her friends. As Twilight tried desperately to find a solution, Starlight stepped forward and puffed out her chest. "You may have threatened the pillars into submission, but I'm afraid we're not the type to back down," said Starlight. "Yeah what she said!" said Rainbow Dash. "We've been through enough to stand up to villains like you," said Applejack. "Well that's a shame," Tobias said shrugging. "I suppose we don't have much choice," he said as the guards aimed their weapons at the group. "Farewell fools," Just as Tobias was about to execute them, there was a loud screech behind them. As Tobias turned around, Anguirus was suddenly landed hard next to them. Tobias looked up to see Kong standing there holding up his battle axe. "Whoa what in the?" Capper asked looking up at him "Mr. Kong!" Fluttershy came out of hiding, clearly happy to see him. "About time," said Bernie. As the ponies cheered, Tobias quickly used this opportunity and raised the bell at Twilight. "You're wide open there friend," he smirked. Twilight quickly turned around and stepped back as Tobias raised the mallet. "No!" Starlight quickly shoved Twilight as Tobias struck the bell absorbing her magic," "Starlight!" Trixie quickly rushed to her friends side as she collapsed. "Aww what a cute little gesture, it's sad that the only thing you've done is delayed the inevitable for your friends," Tobias laughs. "Now then as for the rest of you," he held up the bell at Twilight and her friends, but just as he was about to ring it, Jia quickly rushed up and shielded them. "What are you doing you little brat, get out of my way," Tobias hissed. But Jia instinctively shook her head. "Of all the times you decide to interfere, you do it now?" "I've seen enough, I can't keep watching," Jia replied in sign language. "She said she can't stand seeing these ponies in so much pain, Tobias, you need to stop," said Ilene. "You little interloper," Tobias growled. "Men!" The guards quickly turned their weapons on Jia. Seeing this Kong roared at Tobias in anger. "Oh shut up, why don't you play with someone your own size, you overgrown monkey," he snapped his fingers as Anguirus quickly rushed up and tackled Kong. Now with Kong distracted, Tobias turned his attention back towards the group. "Now with all interruptions gone, I'd say it's finally time to clean this up," he glares at Jia who was still standing in the way. "Oh there's nothing we can do?" asked Fluttershy. Just as Tobias was about to pull the trigger on his gun, there was a sudden change in the atmosphere that caused everyone to look up. "Oh what now?" Tobias grumbled in frustration. At that moment, something flew over their heads as a familiar voice rang out from it's loudspeaker. "Calvary's here!" As the HEAV flew past them another massive monster suddenly appeared from behind, this one resembling a giant pterosaur. 'No way, is that?"asked Bernie. "Titanus Rodan," confirmed Ilene. "Shoot it down!" his men raises their weapons and begins firing as ordered but this only seemed to anger Rodan as he descended and began plucking one armed soldier after another. "Tch," as he watched his men helplessly fight the massive titan, Tobias quickly retreated back down into his underground facility, taking the bell with him. Noticing their boss had fled, the armed guards attempted to escape but to no avail. "Hey kept you waiting eh?" Trapper chuckled as he stepped out of the HEAV to rejoin the group. "Trapper you goddamn legend!" said Bernie. "Sorry took so long, big guy just wouldn't cooperate," said Trapper. "Well you showed up just in time," said Ilene. They all looked up just as Rodan finished off the remaining guards and Kong defeated Anguirus. Jia quickly rushes towards Anguirus's side and examines his condition. Anguirus looks down weakly at Jia with his reddish-orange eyes. "I think he's sick," Jia said to Ilene as she caught up. "What's up?" asked Trapper. "Jia thinks Anguirus is sick," said Ilene. Trapper looks up at the defeated titan as he groans weakly. "Yeah he doesn't sound good either," said Trapper. "I better take a look," he said. Everyone watched as he slowly approached Anguirus and held up a strange device. "Oh wow, this is terrible," "What is it?" asked Ilene. "It's not like he's sick, more like he's corrupted," explained Trapper. "By what?" asked Ilene. "I'm not sure," answered Trapper. "I'm checking for any abnormalities and it looks like he's been injected with a black substance of sorts," "Wait what do you mean black substance. "I don't know whatever it is his blood has been contaminated by it and he's become corrupted by the substance," explained Trapper. Everyone looks up at Anguirus as he moans weakly. 'Is there anything we can do?" asked Fluttershy. "If we can somehow remove or rather cure him he should return to normal," said Trapper. "He used to be an ally of Godzilla, it'd be nice if we could get his help in all this," said Ilene. "Well Mage Meadowbrook is known to be a legendary healer," explained Fluttershy. "Not a bad idea, with her expertise, I'm sure we'll be able to help Anguirus," Twilight. "I can't guarantee anything, but I'll do what I can," she said. "Thanks for your help Mage Meadowbrook," said Fluttershy. "In the meantime, we need to go after Tobias, not only does he have everyone's magic,but also the answers to so many questions," said Ilene. "He escaped to his underground hideout again,that jerk," said Rainbow Dash. "Anybody without magic should stay here, it's far too risky to let them come with us,"suggested Ilene. "Um is it alright if i stayed here with Mage Meadowbrook and Mr Anguirus?" asked Fluttershy. "I want to help them anyway I can," "I'll stay behind as well," said Trapper. "I'll stay behind too, the Great and Powerful Trixie refuses to leave her friend's side!" Trixie beamed. "Thanks Trixie," said Starlight. "Anybody else?" asked Ilene. Everyone else shook their heads. "In that case let's head back down, Trapper you still have that radio, I'll contact you if anything happens," Trapper gave them a thumbs up as the rest of Twilight's friends and the Monarch Task Force began descending back underground after Tobias.
Chapter 6: Tobias's PlotTwilight blasted down the double doors leading into the underground facility before charging in with the others following behind her. "We better hurry before Tobias gets away," said Ilene. "But how do we know where he is?" asked Spike. "Should we split up?" asked Bernie. "That wouldn't be necessary," a voice on the loudspeaker answers. "Is that?" asked Applejack. Suddenly the screen on the TV hanging above them turns on as Tobias's face pops up. "You want to get to me, just simply go down the hall and take a right, there should be an elevator there, come down to floor B4, I have something I would like for you to see," he said. "I'll see you soon, assuming you don't get lost," he laughs as the TV shuts off. "Hey don't run from us you coward!" yelled Rainbow Dash. "Well, what do you propose we do, your highness?" Capper asked. "Let's head down, Tobias wants to meet us, we might as well go see what he wants to show us," said Twilight. "Are you sure about this darling?" asked Rarity. Twilight nods as she begins to walk down the hall with the others following behind. By taking the same route as Tobias described, Twilight and her friends had eventually found themselves riding an elevator to who knows where. After a relatively quick elevator ride, they found themselves entering a long and dark corridor. At the end was another door with two armed guards standing on either side waiting for them. "That must be where he is," said Ilene. "Let's go," Twilight stepped out of the elevator and began making her way down the corridor with the others following behind. Upon reaching the door, one of the guards opened the door and signaled for them to enter. Inside they found Tobias standing in front of a large glass window with his back turned towards them. Around them were more computer terminals with several researchers working at each one. "You made it," chuckled Tobias. He turned around as they approached his, reddish-orange eyes glowing in the dimly lit room. "What do you want Tobias?" asked Twilight. "Heh, he paced as the group eyed him suspiciously. "I presume you came all the way down here to take back the magic I stole from your friends did you not?" "I don't understand Tobias, you're just a crypto-zoologist, why do you need to involve yourself in something like this?" asked Ilene. "I told you before didn't I Dr Andrews?" he said. "I need magic to fuel my creation,of course I didn't go into full detail so allow me to give you a little peek at what I've been working on ever since Monarch tossed me out," He stepped to the side and waved them over to the window. Confused the group slowly approached and looked out into what appeared to be a large empty open space. "You see Dr Andrews, before I was terminated, I devoted myself to studying the different titans that called our world home, I did everything I could to gather up information about these titans so that Monarch had something they could refer to should one of those titans go rogue especially Godzilla," Tobias explained. As he talked, they watched as something big entered the room, carried on a massive lift. It was unclear to the group as to what exactly they were looking at. "What the hell?" asked Bernie. "It was only after Monarch tossed me aside that I stole one of their HEAVs and made my way into Hollow Earth in search of answers," Tobias continued. "Sure I worked for Apex at some point but it was only after I found out their true intentions that I decided to leave them and join Monarch to find ways to stop them, of course Apex was defeated by the combined efforts of Godzilla and Kong after they destroyed the mechanized titan," As he continued, the lights in the open area lit up allowing the group to get a closer look at the thing. "I of course refused to give up, so with Apex gone, I had a new goal in mind, finish what they started," "No don't tell me," Ilene gasped. "Before I fled into Hollow Earth, I went back to Hong Kong to see if I could salvage anything from the ruined Apex facility and that's when I found Mechagodzilla's head, still intact, when I went near the thing that's when I felt it, this immense power and a voice telling me to create a second Mechagodzilla and seek out a power source that could be used to fuel the robot's power," he continued. "When I jumped back into Hollow Earth, the voice led me to the lair of Kong's tribe and from their, it told me to look behind a specific rock, when I did I discovered the vortex that led to this world, a world where magic run rampant, this was the answer I've been looking for now all I needed was to find a way to control that power luckily I found the three best candidates," "Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow," Twilight and her friends all look up at him with stunned expressions. "Those three were fools to trust me when I told them they'd have great power if they taught me how to control magic, honestly the look on their faces when I used the bell against them was priceless," Tobias cackled. "Now with the ability to control magic, I used my newfound power to transport Mechagodzilla's head, of course the original plan was to create a second Mechagodzilla but then it hit me, it wouldn't make much sense if I were to repeat the same mistakes as Apex so I came up with an alternative," "An alternative?" asked Twilight. "I don't really like the sound of that," Spike said nervously. "Instead of making a second Mechagodzilla I decided to use the original as a base and create something far more powerful, and soon with a combination of Apex Cybernetics' technology, Monarch's vast knowledge of titans, and the unlimited capabilities of Equestria's magic, I was able to give birth to a creation that would even make Apex look weak, a titan that was 10x more powerful than both Godzilla and Kong combined, and that was far more ferocious than any existing titan that was recorded in Monarch's database!" At that moment the group turned back towards the window as alarms began to blare in the open area. "That doesn't sound good," said Capper.A mechanical whirring began to fill the area as two sides of the object began to unravel revealing two large mechanical wings. Instead of membranes, the wings appeared to have a glass like material that seemed to reflect light almost like a mirror.Two long cables hung from behind with daggers at the ends. Cybernetic implants covered the entire front and ran down the thing's legs of which it had two, and it's entire body was covered in metallic coating. What appeared to be three large cables uncoiling were revealed to be the neck and head of the thing, the Mechagodzilla head having been remolded and implanted on the center head. Instead of eyes, each of the three heads had a different colored visor. On the centerpiece of the machine was a large green orb that appeared to be distributing some form of energy that ran through long circuits covering it's entire body. It was only after the thing fully stood up that Ilene finally knew what she was looking at. "Behold my ultimate creation, the true king of all titans and a harbinger of destruction!" Tobias beamed. "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah!" Subterranean Realm:Hollow Earth Godzilla stands at the edge of the cliff as he stares off into the distance. After arriving in Hong Kong he had entered Hollow Earth through the hole that he had drilled himself before facing Mechagodzilla. After tracking the strong energy surge, he had found himself standing in the subterranean realm. He sniffed the air and growled. The energy surge was getting stronger meaning he was getting closer to the source. The Nuclear energy he had absorbed from the 15 facilities coursed through his body as his anger continued to intensify. Determined to find the source he continued to track the energy surge and began making his way towards the lair of Kong's tribe. Underground Research Facility:Canterlot The group stared with stunned expressions as Tobias's creation whirred to life revealing it's true form. "This, this is why you needed the ponies' magic?" asked Ilene. "I need to magic to fuel my mecha, just as the energy from Hollow Earth was strong enough to fuel Mechagodzilla, the magic from this world is the only thing that can keep Hyper Mecha Ghidorah functioning at it's full potential," explained Tobias. "With a combination of magic and Apex's technology, it has more useful tools at it's arsenal such as teleportation, self duplication, mirroring moves,deflecting attacks, and even creating monsters," "Creating monsters, wait you don't mean," Ilene gasped. "The Skull Devil that Kong defeated, yeah that was merely a fake that Hyper Mecha Ghidorah created using the information taken from the Titan Files," explained Tobias. "So that was YOUR doing!" Rainbow Dash growled. "Oh trust me, the Skull Devil was merely a test, now that I have stolen more magic, my creation will be able perform much better than before," sneered Tobias. "However it's energy output is still far too low, now I would try and take yours, but seeing as how you simply refuse to stop resisting I decided why not steal magic from helpless creatures that simply cannot fight back?" "What do you mean?" asked Twilight. "The reason why I brought you down here instead of killing you?" Tobias smirked. "It wasn't JUST to reveal my master plan but to trap you in here," "What!?" Applejack gasped. "It seems like my little distraction worked cause you were so busy listening to me that you haven't even realized that the entire room has been empty this entire time," said Tobias. The group looked around and saw that he was right, all the researchers that were at the terminals were now gone. "Since when!?" yelped Spike. "Now then I'm quite a busy individual so I'll be taking my leave, but since I don't have time to clean up this mess, and i can't risk you all escaping, so I'm afraid I'm just going to have send this place down," Tobias pulled out a small remote and pushed the big red button as robotic voice echoed out from the speakers. "Self Destruct sequence initiated, all personnel please evacuate the building from the nearest exit, the countdown has begun, you have at least 600 seconds to escape" "You dirty jerk!" hissed Rainbow Dash. "You can insult me all you want but I suggest you try and escape before this place blows that is if you can," Tobias laughed. "Well then nice knowing you all, hope you have a nice afterlife," He pushed another button on his remote as he and Hyper Mecha Ghidorah teleported away from the facility. "The doors locked!" Rarity screamed as she tried to turn the handle. "Twilight what are we gonna do!?" asked Applejack. Twilight swallowed hard as she desperately tried to find a way out of their situation. It was only a matter of time before the facility went down, and she didn't have time to waste. There had to be a way out, there had to.
Chapter 7: Campaign of DestructionThe alarms continued to blare as everyone tried desperately to find a way out, but to no avail. "We're doomed, we're all gonna die!" Rarity wailed. "Everypony calm down!" Twilight said. "How can we stay calm Twilight!?" asked Pinkie. "Uh," Twilight tried to come up with an excuse but even she knew Pinkie was right. There was no way to stay calm when they were about to go down with the facility. But just when their luck was about tot run out, Ilene's radio sparked on. "Trapper you there?" asked Ilene. "Yeah I'm here, you alright down there doc?" asked Trapper. "No, not at all, we could really use your help right about now," Ilene answered quickly. "Alright hang tight I'm coming down there," said Trapper. "Thank god this man doesn't ask questions," said Bernie. "Hold on, I'm gonna need you to stay on so I can guide you," said Ilene. "No problem doc," replied Trapper. "Facility will self destruct in t-minus 500 seconds" "Oh please hurry Mr. Trapper," said Twilight. The group waited in anticipation as Ilene gave Trapper directions to their location. All the while the countdown refused to slow down. "Alright I'm out of the elevator," said Trapper. "It's the door at the end of the corridor," said Ilene. "Facility will self destruct in t-minus 300 seconds" "Eep!" Rarity whimpered. "Just hang on Rarity, we'll be out of here soon!" Twilight said trying to reassure her friend.Thankfully it wasn't long until Trapper unlocked the door and opened it. "Hey is everyone alright?" Trapper asked poking his head in. "Oh thank Celestia!" Rarity exclaimed as she bolted out of the room. "Come on we still have time, let's get out of here!" said Ilene. They wasted no time as they made a mad dash towards the elevator. Once the elevators door opened, they quickly made a run for the exit and thankfully all managed to escape just in time. "Finally freedom!" Rarity exclaimed as she made it back into the main plaza. The others stopped to catch their breath as they made it out unharmed. "I thought we were dead," gasped Spike. Not a minute or two after everyone got out, there was a loud boom followed by a small shock wave that shook the entire city. "At least we didn't have to experience that up close," Capper said in reference to the underground explosion. "Is Everypony ok?" asked Starlight. "Seems like it, where's Anguirus?" asked Ilene. "Well the thing is," Everyone looked at Fluttershy in confusion as she began to explain to them what was happening on the surface. "What Anguirus suddenly went berserk?" asked Twilight. "Yeah old sucker just suddenly went crazy like something scared the big guy and took off with Rodan in pursuit" said Trapper. "Dr. do you think that maybe?" Ilene nodded her head. "That's the only explanation," she replied. "What do you mean?" asked Mage Meadowbrook. Ilene sighed as she began to explain, what Tobias said and the terrifying new monster he had birthed. The Great Apes' Lair: Hollow Earth The members of Kong's tribe all cowered in fear as Godzilla stepped onto their land. He was getting extremely close to the energy surge as he felt it grow stronger. As he looked around he could see the apes hiding behind rocks and boulders as they watched him cautiously. Godzilla roared as he looked at two of the apes and slowly began making his way towards them when something stepped in front blocking his path. Godzilla was all too familiar with the icy cold air that surrounded the titan. He angrily roared at Shimo as she attempted to defend the apes, but she simply responded by communicating to him in simple grunts and groans. Godzilla was clearly not happy that someone had the gall to oppose him like this, but he knew that the apes weren't his targets. His attention was quickly drawn to the sound of falling rocks and looked over to see Suko still hiding. Godzilla slowly approached the juvenile ape and glared at him as he whimpered. Suko although afraid pointed towards the tunnel where the vortex was still active. Godzilla looked up to where he was pointing and looked back down at Suko as he imitated Kong's behavior as if he was telling Godzilla that Kong had entered the vortex. Godzilla roared as he quickly rushed towards the vortex. Canterlot:Equestria "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah eh?" asked Trapper. "Um isn't it like really bad that a giant killer robot is on the loose?" asked Trixie. "Which is why we need to track down Tobias and destroy that robot before things get out of hand," said Ilene. "And HOW do we find him?" asked Rainbow Dash. "He DID mention that he was planning on stealing magic from every creature in Equestria," added Twilight. Celestia, Luna, and Starswirl all look at each other with concerned expressions. Their discussion was suddenly interrupted when Ilene's phone began to vibrate. She pulled out her phone and began scrolling when she froze. "What, what happened?" asked Bernie. "Two titans have appeared," answered Ilene. "Most likely as a result of Tobias's machine," "Where?" asked Sunburst. "It's near the Hollow Earth access point," she answered. 'Hollow what now?" asked Pinkie. "It'll take too long to explain but basically it's a massive bluish white vortex that sometimes randomly appears in certain locations. "Bluish white vortex, you mean the one in Hollow Shades?" asked Starlight. "If that's the case, then that's where Tobias might be," said Applejack. "We have to hurry, let's go girls," said Twilight. "I'll accompany you as well," said Capper. "Me too!" announced Trixie. "The rest of us should take the HEAV," said Ilene. As the ponies prepared to depart and the Monarch Task Force piled into the HEAV, Kong grabbed his axe and began making his way towards the Hollow Shades with the ponies following behind. "Sister we should go as well," suggested as Luna. "You're right Luna, we may not have our magic but we should at least be able to distract the enemy," agreed Celestia. "We'll join you," added Starswirl. The rest of the pillars nod as they followed after the others. Iwi Tribe:Hollow Earth Mothra was relaxing when she heard the horns echo through out the area. She looks up as the gelatinous barrier protecting the Iwi tribe splits open as Suko comes running in. Mothra looks over as he runs up to her and pulls on her leg while pointing outside the Iwi's village almost as if he was wanting her to follow him. Mothra moans as Suko imitates Kong and Godzilla's behavior trying to communicate with the queen. Eventually Mothra spreads her wings and takes off following after Suko as he leads her to the hidden vortex deep within the Great Apes' lair. Hollow Shades:Equestria The group finally manages to reach the Hollow Shades only to discover that the entire place was in ruins almost as if it was ravaged. Dense fog cloaked their surroundings making it difficult for anyone to see anything. "Well we made it but," Applejack tried to study her surroundings but was unable to make anything out. "Is it just me or does this place look even worse than before?" "I don't like this," whimpered Fluttershy. Kong grips his axe as tries to pinpoint where the titans were. "Even Kong's having trouble seeing in this fog," said Ilene. "But there's no mistaking it, there's something here," "But what exactly?" asked Rarity. The group freezes as they hear a faint clicking and cracking noise. "Uh did y'all hear that?" asked Applejack. They slowly huddled together as they cautiously tried to pinpoint the source of the noise in the fog. "Does anypony know where that noise came from?" asked Trixie. "I don't know and that's what I don't like about our currant situation," answered Twilight. As Kong scanned the area, he suddenly turned around and was tackled to the ground by something. The group yelped as Kong and the unidentified creature crashed to the ground. Kong managed to throw the creature off and got to his feet. As he picked up his axe he turned towards the creature as it stood up spreading it's wings and growling at him. "What in Celestia's name is that!?" Trixie yelped. The creature was soon joined by a second which was much larger and was missing wings. Both creatures were covered in a dense greyish-black hide and an elongated flat head. They both had red visor like eyes that stared them down and their hooked beak like mouths opened revealing many sharp dagger like teeth. The only difference was the winged creature was slightly slimmer and smaller than the other, but both were equally hostile and ready to attack. "Oh shit," cursed Ilene. "Um aren't those?" Bernie stuttered as he stepped back. "MUTOs," answered Ilene. "Mu what now?" asked Spike. "Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism aka MUTOs," answered Ilene. They're parasitic aliens that showed up to earth many years ago but Godzilla had defeated them back then," "Well then I suppose it's safe to assume that Tobias brought them back yeah?" asked Trapper. "Yes, more accurately Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," said Ilene. "But don't they look slightly different?" asked Rainbow Dash "I believe the winged is male and the other is female," answered Ilene. The male MUTO growled as it lunged at Kong in attempts to body slam him, but Kong quickly reacted by landing a punch to it's face sending it crashing into the ground. The female MUTO roared and charged at him, but Kong quickly grabbed it's face and drove it into the ground before bringing his fists down onto it's back. The male MUTO retaliated by jumping onto his back and attempted to bite into his shoulder with it's hooked beak. As Kong attempted to throw the male MUTO off the female MUTO got to it's feet and rammed into him. "Hey two against one isn't fair!" Pinkie yelled. "This isn't good, Kong may be an Alpha titan but even he can't take on two opponents at once," said Ilene. They watched as Kong reached over and grabbed the male MUTO before slamming it on top of the female. He then proceeded to throw the male MUTO, sending it flying and crashing into the ground. As Kong roared, the female MUTO grabbed onto him from behind and held him in place as the male MUTO began to fly, hovering right above the vortex. "This is bad, like really bad!" Trixie said as she watched in anticipation. "We need to do something before those things kills Kong," said Ilene. "Yeah but what can we do?" asked Bernie.They watched as Kong struggled to break free, just when the male MUTO prepared to attack, a giant pillar of pink energy suddenly erupted from the vortex and sent the male MUTO crashing into the ground. "What was that?" asked Sunburst. As the female MUTO released Kong to see what had happened, another titan emerged from the vortex and roared announcing it's presence to everyone. "Oh my god," Ilene gasped. "What the hell, what's he doing here!?" asked Bernie. "Is that another titan?" asked Twilight. "Not just any titan, that is the alpha, the true king of the monsters," explained Ilene. "That's Godzilla,"
Chapter 8: Godzilla and Kong vs. MUTOsThe group stares at Godzilla in awe as he towers over them, his magnificent pink spines glowing brightly. As he turns towards Kong, he notices the female MUTO behind him and roars angrily. "Uh is it just me or does Godzilla look more pissed off than usual?" asked Bernie. "Tobias's machine must be the cause of Godzilla's erratic behavior back on earth," Ilene concluded. "Ghidorah WAS considered to be his biggest archenemy so I wouldn't doubt it," said Trapper. "My goodness that form, I would certainly love to create an outfit for the king," said Rarity. "Now's not the time to be talking about that Rarity, look out!" Twilight pushed her out of the way as Godzilla charged at the female MUTO and tackled it to the ground. Meanwhile the male MUTO hisses at Godzilla, clearly upset it was interrupted, and charges at him but not before Kong grabs it by the wings and throws it onto the ground before pummeling it. "Thanks Twilight," Rarity let out a sigh of relief as she picked herself off the ground. "If we stay here, we'll end up squashed," said Capper. They quickly ducked as Godzilla grabs the female MUTO by one of her legs and throws her sending her flying right above their heads. Godzilla roars as he jumps up and lands on top of the female MUTO. He opens his jaw and bites down on one of it's legs before tearing it right off and throwing it to the side as the female MUTO screeches in pain. Seeing this the male MUTO quickly knocks Kong back and flies up latching itself onto Godzilla's back. "Were those things always this aggressive?" Bernie asked as the MUTOs attempted to subdue Godzilla. "It must be the influence of Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," said Ilene. "Hey look!" Applejack pointed towards the dismembered limb as it begins to glow in a brilliant golden light before vanishing. "Just like the Skull Devil," said Ilene. They all look up as Godzilla roars and throws the male MUTO off his back. The male MUTO growls and spreads it's wings and lunges at Godzilla but ends up eating a knuckle sandwich from Kong as he throws a punch at it's face with his B.E.A.S.T. glove. Godzilla turns around to see the female MUTO standing up as it limps towards him. "Stubborn things aren't they?" asked Trapper. "But neither Kong nor Godzilla is the type to back down from a fight," said Ilene. "Yeah get 'em mess them up!" cheered Pinkie. They continue to spectate as Godzilla swings his tail around slamming it into the female MUTO knocking it back down before running over and grabbing it by another set of legs and throwing it at the male MUTO as it was getting up knocking both MUTOs down. Kong quickly makes his move and swings his axe, driving the blade deep into the female MUTO's side before kicking it away. The male MUTO roars as it latches onto his back, but Kong quickly throws it off and chops off one of it's wings with his axe. The male MUTO roars as it's wings disintegrates like the female MUTO's leg. "Ouch yeah that sounded like hurt," Applejack winced as the two titans continued to go at the alien parasites. "It's a good thing that these things are just fakes otherwise I'd actually feel bad for them," joked Trapper. "Still pretty barbaric though," sighed Rarity. "They don't call Godzilla the King of the Monsters for no reason," said Ilene. The male MUTO stumbles about trying to escape Kong but only makes it a few feet before Kong grabs it by the leg and throws it at Godzilla who launches it back at Kong with his tail. Kong raises his B.E.A.S.T. glove and throws a punch at the male MUTO sending it sliding across the ground. Meanwhile the female is limping away trying to escape in order to recover from it's wounds, but Godzilla quickly intercepts it and grabs it by the face before slamming it into the ground. As the female MUTO struggles to get back on it's feet, Godzilla opens his jaw as his body and eyes begins to glow in a pink aura. "Oh boy here it comes," said Bernie. "Huh what's coming?" asked Pinkie. Within seconds, Godzilla fires a stream of pink energy at the female MUTO as it tries to crawl away. "Whoa!" Rainbow yelps. "Such raw power, I've never seen anything like this!" Sunburst exclaims. The female MUTO leaps out of the way as Godzilla nearly scraps it's back with his atomic breath. But before it could get back up, Kong rushes in and tackles the female MUTO. Godzilla catches the female MUTO and lifts it up before bridging it onto it's back in a suplex. The male MUTO notices this and rushes over to help it's female counterpart, but Kong notices it approaching and kicks it back down before jumping on top of it. As the male MUTO struggles to escape, Kong grabs it's hooked beak and pries it open and with one final roar, he bends it's upper jaw back followed by an audible snap. "Ouch," Spike whimpered as he cringed at the sound. "Ugh," Rarity turns away covering her eyes from the awful sight. The ponies shiver at the horrible sight as Kong climbs off the now dead MUTO. "That's Kong for ya," said Trapper. They watched as the male MUTO began to glow in the same golden aura before disintegrating into a cloud of gold dust. "One down, one more to go," said Ilene. They turn towards Godzilla as he forcefully stomps on the female MUTO as it scrambles to escape. Godzilla grabs the female MUTO and just like Kong pries it's hooked beak open before opening his jaw as his entire body begins to glow. "Ah I can't watch," Rarity said covering her eyes again. As the female MUTO lets out a panicked screech, Godzilla fires his atomic breath directly into the MUTO's mouth. The MUTO falls limp as it's head detaches from it's body. Godzilla throws the MUTO's head on the ground before roaring towards the sky. "Good thing he's on our side," said Bernie. As Godzilla removes his foot off the MUTO, the body and head begins to glow before disintegrating leaving both him and Kong the last ones standing. "Ugh do they have to be so barbaric?" asked Rarity. "In a situation like this it really can't be helped," said Ilene. "Well that's that, now what?" asked Capper. "Now we stand and fight!" exclaimed a voice. The group turns around to see Celestia, Luna, and the pillars running over to them. "Fear not, we have arrived!" beamed Luna. "We may not have our magic but we'll do everything we can to defeat the threat!" added Celestia. "You lizard, we will not allow your destructive nature to go unchecked!" Starswirl pointed a hoof at Godzilla. "Talk about terrible timing," said Rainbow Dash. "Um Princess Celestia," Twilight walked over to them. "Don't worry Twilight we'll handle this!" said Celestia. "Actually Princess Celestia, the threat has already been neutralized," Twilight quickly added. "What are you talking about Twilight Sparkle?" asked Luna. "That 'giant lizard' is the one that defeated the threat," Twilight answered. "What that cannot be," said Starswirl. "Actually yeah, you guys are too late," said Rainbow Dash. "Well this is slightly awkward," said Luna. "Well at least you won't have to worry about anymore random monsters showing up," said Pinkie. "Actually I wouldn't be so sure," said Ilene. "I've picked up on another titan, this time it's coming from a nearby forest not too far from the village," "Forest not too far from the village, isn't that?" Applejack asked. "It's the Everfree Forest," said Twilight. "Well then onward friends to the Everfree Forest!" exclaimed Luna. "This time we won't miss our chance!" added Celestia. With that both the sisters and pillars quickly headed back to ponyville. Godzilla looks at Kong and roars before turning around and begins heading in the direction of ponyville with Kong following closely behind. "We should get going too," said Ilene. "Right," Twilight and her friends began heading towards the Everfree forest as the Monarch Task Force piled into the HEAV and followed after the others.
Chapter 9: The Rose Beast of the Everfree ForestTwilight and her friends had finally made it to the entrance of the Everfree Forest where they found Celestia, and Luna arguing with each other while the pillars discussed amongst each other. "Oh great now what are they arguing about?" groaned Spike. They looked up as the HEAV descended and landed several yards away from them. "What's the hold up?" asked Ilene. "We got a bit of a problem," said Starlight pointing at the sisters. "And I told you sister, that you should've checked with them but no you insisted on getting here as fast as possible!" Celestia yelled. "And I told YOU to make sure you knew what were supposed to be looking for!" Luna argued back. "Um Princess Celestia?" Twilight approached them nervously. "Oh Twilight perfect timing!" Celestia chirped. "For what exactly?" asked Applejack. "Well you see we're kinda lost on what exactly we're supposed to be looking for because Luna forgot to ask what this monster looks like," explained Celestia. "Excuse me sister, but it was YOU who insisted on getting here!" Luna hissed. "Seriously that's what they're arguing about?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Well to be frank your highness I can't say that neither of you are to blame," added Ilene. "I only said that a titan was 'detected' but my app doesn't say what exactly the titan is so truth be told none of us really know what exactly we're looking for," she held up her phone. "See sister even THEY have no idea what to look for so it's not entirely MY fault," said Luna. "Ugh fine, I'm sorry ok?" Celestia groaned. "Now then, since that's all cleared up, let's try and find this thing," said Capper. Ilene checked her phone and looked up. "It's pretty deep in, but it seems to be in an open area somewhere in the center of the forest," she explained. "Lead the way," said Twilight. They began to enter the forest led by Ilene as she followed the readings. As they navigated through the forest they eventually came upon a familiar looking pony on the ground. 'Is that a Zebra?" Bernie asked poking his head out from behind. "Zecora!?" Twilight gasped as she ran over to her. "Zecora are you alright?" the zebra weakly looks up at her and groans. "Twilight Sparkle, you must not stay, or you'll be the next prey," "Zecora what happened?" asked Twilight. "The beast with three heads, it stole my magic and fled," Zecora groaned. "The beast with three heads," Twilight looked back at Ilene with a concerned expression. "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," she watched as Zecora collapse on the ground. "It seems like we were too late," said Sunburst. "We have to hurry, if Tobias created another titan, who knows how much damage it could cause," said Ilene. They continued to walk as Twilight slowly hid Zecora's body behind some shrubs. "Hang in there Zecora we'll get your magic back," Twilight murmured as she ran after the others. As they continued to walk, Twilight and her friends began to notice a large amount of garbage littering the ground. "Uh is it just me or has the forest gotten dirtier?" asked Applejack. "Ugh must be those filly guides littering again," groaned Rainbow Dash. The pillars started to slow down as Starswirl began to cough. "Starswirl are you alright?" asked Mistmane. "I'm fine, it's just so hard to breathe all of a sudden," coughed Starswirl. "Now that you mention it, it does seem like air has become scarce," coughed Sunburst. "And what is that hideous smell?" asked Rarity. "Ugh doesn't smell pleasant that's for sure," Luna said sniffing the air.The group pushed forward despite the discomfort and after several minutes of walking, they found themselves in an open area where a towering plant was stationed at the center. The plant was just a clump of moss,leaves,and vines growing out of the ground. Near the base was a massive sack glowing in a yellowish-red light. At the very top a large red rose sprouted from the many leaves. "Oh wow," said Capper. "Oh my how gorgeous!" Rarity squealed. "I've never knew such beautiful plants could grow here," said Starlight. "I mean they don't call this place the Everfree Forest for nothing," said Trixie. "I hate to break it to you ladies, but I'm afraid I wouldn't get close to that thing if I were you," said Ilene. "That's our titan friend we were searching for," "What, this thing?" asked Luna. "I find it hard to believe that a rose would be dangerous darling," said Rarity. "No, no that's not just any rose, that's Biollante, otherwise known as the flower beast," said Bernie. As he said that, several large vines suddenly erupted from the ground as the rose slightly tilted towards the group revealing a small jaw in the center lined with sharp teeth. "On second thought maybe it's not so harmless," said Rarity. They quickly dove out of the way as the vines came crashing down and began flailing around as if it was trying to swat them away. "Is everyone alright?" asked Trapper. "Wait where's Jia?" asked Ilene. 'Up there!" said Spike pointing up. They all looked to see Jia being lifted up by Biollante's vine. "Jia!" Ilene got to her feet as she watched Biollante lift her daughter up. "I'll get her!" said Rainbow Dash. But before she could go save her, a loud roar echoed throughout the forest as Kong suddenly lunged at Biollante and punched her rose causing the vine to unravel and dropping Jia. Twilight quickly ran underneath her and broke her fall using her magic. Ilene quickly rushed to her side and embraced her with a sigh of relief. Biollante hissed at Kong as he beat his chest. "Sister now's the time to lend our strength!" said Luna. Celestia nodded as they both surrounded Biollante. At that same moment, Godzilla makes his presence known with his signature roar as he joins Kong by his side. But as he does, Biollante lets out a whimper almost as if she was afraid of Godzilla. "Girls we should help out as well," suggested Twilight. Her friends nod in agreement as they surround Biollante. Now having been completely cornered, Biollante's vines suddenly stops flailing around as they slowly go limp. "Um girls?" Fluttershy turns towards her friends clearly hesitant. "Something's wrong, I've never seen any titan act like this," said Ilene. Jia begins to communicate to her mother in sign language. "Wait what she say?" asked Trapper. "She says Biollante's scared," Ilene answered with in a confused tone. "Scared of Godzilla?" asked Bernie. "No something else," said Ilene. That's when her phone vibrates again. She pulls it out and opens the app on her phone. "What?" She looks back up at Biollante as it groans weakly. Godzilla roars as he prepares to attack but just as he rushes forward, Fluttershy flies up to his face and holds out her arms. "Wait please wait!" she pleads with Godzilla and much to everyone's surprise, he stops in his tracks and glares at her snorting. "Fluttershy what are you doing?!" asked Twilight. "Twilight something's not right, look!" Fluttershy points at Biollante as she whimpers and groans her vines hangs limply in the air. "We can't attack it when it's not even fighting back," "But we can't just leave it alone," said Twilight. "I know but," Fluttershy sighed. "Everyone wait, something's coming," said Ilene. "Wait what?" asked Trixie. "Is it another titan?" asked Starlight. Then as if on cue, a horrible smell began to fill everyone's nostrils causing them to cough, all the greenery in the area began to wither and Biollante whimpered as her vines began to shrivel up. "What the hay's going on?" Rainbow Dash coughed. "Can't breathe," Twilight gasped. "What is that stench?" Rarity coughed. Even Kong and Godzilla looked uncomfortable as the smell intensified, "It smells like rotting flesh," Bernie coughed. Godzilla growled as his body began to glow before firing a stream of his atomic breathe towards the sky which immediately caused the smog to dissipate allowing everyone to be able to breathe normally again. "Oh thank Celestia," gasped Trixie. "I thought we were gonna die," said Rarity. But their sense of relief was short lived as Biollante let out a weakened groan. "Hey what's wrong?" Fluttershy asked. Then without warning Godzilla let out another angry roar at Fluttershy and Biollante. "Fluttershy I think you made him angry," Applejack. "Uh I don't think that's what he's roaring at Applejack," said Rainbow Dash. Confused, Fluttershy looked past Biollante and in the same direction that Rainbow was staring to see another giant monster heading in their direction. The monster seemed to take on a humanoid shape and was covered in layers of gray kelp like surfaces. It's eyes had gold and black irises and red scleras. With every step the monster took the trees and greenery withered and died. "What the hay is that?" asked Fluttershy. "What is it what do you see?" asked Applejack. "I don't know, it looks like another monster but it's covered in like gray seaweed," explained Rainbow Dash. "Gray seaweed?" asked Trixie. "I think I know what she's talking about," said Ilene. "If what she said is true, then that would explain that horrible smell and all the trash we saw on the way here," "Oh no you don't mean," said Trapper. "It's the only possible explanation," said Ilene. She taps on the screen before holding up her phone to Rainbow Dash. "Does it look like this?" Rainbow Dash took one glance and nodded. "Yeah exactly like that!" she exclaims. "I thought so," said Ilene. "Wait I'm not following what monster is it this time?" asked Spike. Ilene held up her phone to show the group the data. "Hedorah the Smog Monster,"
Chapter 10: Vs. HedorahAfter having defeated the two fake MUTOs created by Hyper Mecha Ghidorah, Godzilla and co. had made their way to the Everfree Forest where a second titan was rumored to have appeared. Upon arrival they had found the forest to be littered with trash and obscured by a dense smog. There they found a the rose beast Biollante who attacked them on sight, however after the group realized that Biollante was weakening due to the lack of fresh air, the smog monster Hedorah revealed itself to be the true culprit behind the toxic air production. Godzilla growled as Hedorah slowly made it's way towards them, leaving a trail of withering dead plants in it's wake. "So that's the monster behind the liter in the forest eh?" Capper asked as Ilene pulled up Hedorah's data on her phone. "That has got to be one of the most rancid thing I've ever seen in my life!" said Rarity. Twilight and Starlight looks up at Biollante as she lets out a weakened groan. It was becoming clear that Biollante was suffering due to this toxic monster. "Oh poor thing," Fluttershy sighed as sh tried to comfort the rose monster. "It's not just Biollante who's suffering," said Ilene. Twilight and her friends turned around to see Starswirl and Mistmane coughing violently. "We need to get rid of Hedorah or else nothing will get out of this forest alive," "Then let's send that creep back where it came from!" said Rainbow Dash. She flew up to join Godzilla and Kong along with Fluttershy, Twilight, Spike, Celestia,Luna, Flash Magnus, and Somnambula. Hedorah let out a disgusting gurgled roar as it continues to approach Biollante. "Alright trash heap you're about to get a face full my hooves!" Rainbow Dash boasted as she began circling Hedorah causing it to stop and look around as if confused. Once she had it distracted she threw herself at Hedorah and attempted to kick it down only to end up splatting face first into Hedorah's grimy body. She pulled herself away completely covered in sludge. "Eww!" as she tried to clean herself off, Hedorah swatted her with it's slimy hand sending her crashing into the ground in a pile of sludge. "Well that didn't work out the way we hoped it would," said Applejack. Kong roars as he charges and throws a punch at Hedorah only for his fist to go through it's body. Hedorah emits a high pitched sound almost as if it was laughing at Kong's miserable attempt. Kong pulls his fist out to find it covered in black sludge. He sniffs and yelps almost as if he was disgusted by the stench. As Kong tries to clean his hand Hedorah produces a gurgling sound before hurling a ball of black sludge at him. Thankfully, Kong's reflexes kick in and he quickly rolls to the side as the ball of sludge lands in some trees causing it dissolve into a pool of bubbling toxic slime. "That thing spits out acid!?" Twilight gasps. "Calm down Twilight, I'm sure we'll be fine as long as we avoid it," Luna said nervously. After seeing how Kong failed to damage Hedorah, Godzilla opened his jaw as his body began to glow. All the while Hedorah continued to slowly make it's way towards them. Biollante whimpers as her leaves began to wither. "Oh it's ok everything's going to be alright," Fluttershy cooed trying to comfort Biollante. She looked up as Godzilla let loose a stream of his atomic breath at Hedorah triggering an explosion. "Haha fare thee well foul beast!" cheered Luna. "Uh Luna," Celestia pointed forward to reveal that Hedorah had somehow survived the attack with no scratches or bruises. "It didn't do anything!" Fluttershy whimpered. Hedorah laughed as it began waving it's arms in a flowing motion as if it was taunting them. "Ah, what such condescending attitude," scoffed Luna. Kong roared as he swung at Hedorah with his axe but to no avail.Once again Hedorah laughed at their futile efforts. "You know of all the monsters we've seen this one has to be the most annoying," groaned Rainbow Dash. "But this is bad, if we can't damage it how are we supposed to get rid of it?" asked Fluttershy. Godzilla attempted to fire another blast of his atomic breath but Hedorah simply took the hits and continued approaching the group. "Nothing's working," said Bernie. "But there has to be something we can do right?" asked Trixie. They watched as Kong grabbed Hedorah from behind in attempts to slow it down, but Hedorah simply sprayed him in the face with it's toxic fumes causing Kong to reel back and gag from the horrible smell. As Hedorah continued to close distance it suddenly turned it's attention towards Godzilla and fired a crimson beam from it's eyes, striking Godzilla in the chest and setting his flesh on fire. Godzilla let out a cry of agony and stumbled back from the attack. "Oh no this isn't good," said Trapper. But Hedorah wasn't done,once it was close enough it spewed out several chunks of black sludge at Godzilla which not only severely burned him but also decreased his mobility making it extremely difficult for him to move. As Godzilla struggled to escape, Hedorah simply laughed as it watched him suffer. "No, no, no this is bad, we have to do something," said Starlight. "But what can do?" asked Applejack. Hedorah finally reached Biollante towering over the wounded Godzilla and began charging up another blast. Just when the group though it was over, a large object suddenly came flying out of nowhere and slammed into Hedorah knocking it back away from Godzilla. "What was that?" asked Sunburst. They looked up as the object landed next to Godzilla and uncurled revealing Anguirus standing next to his ally. "Anguirus!?" Ilene gasped as the titan roared at Hedorah. Another cry rang out as Rodan descended from the sky, hovering above the ground next to Anguirus. "Rodan too?" asked Trapper. "It'd be a shame if you forgot about me," a voice added. The group looked up as a pony jumped off of Rodan's back. The pony had a purple colored coat and a magenta mane.She had a scar over her right eye and her unicorn horn was completely broken. "Tempest!" Twilight flew down to her with a smile of relief. "Twilight, it's good to see you again," she said walking over to her. "What are you doing here and how'd you find us?" asked Twilight. "Well it's a bit of a long story but I don't think now's the time for that," said Tempest. Twilight looked up as Hedorah got to it's feet and hissed at the two as they protected Godzilla. "Wait wasn't Anguirus infected with something?" asked Bernie. "It was but I'm not getting any abnormal readings, I'm not sure what exactly happened but it looks like he's back to his normal self," said Trapper. "Heck yeah let's go turtle boy!" Pinkie cheered. "Well actually it's more like an armadillo," chuckled Trapper. "About time we got some backup," said Flash Magnus. "You can count on me to take out the trash," Tempest said as got into battle stance. Hedorah roared as it angrily hurled a chunk of black sludge at them, but Rodan fired a blast of condensed air sending the sludge flying back at Hedorah. With the smog monster completely distracted, Rodan grabbed Anguirus by the tail and lift him up before dropping him right on top of Hedorah flattening it. It quickly rolled out of the way as Rodan fired a blast of radioactive flame and setting it's right arm on fire. As Hedorah desperately tried to put out the flames, Tempest used her magic to coat Anguirus's shell with electricity as he curled up and rolled towards the titan at full speed. With the fire out, Hedorah turned it's attention towards Rodan but before it could make a move, it was struck in the back by Anguirus's shell. Hedorah yelped as it was zapped leaving it temporary stunned. "Hmph easy as pie," Tempest snickered. "Wow Tempest, you've grown since the last time we met," said Capper. "i appreciate the compliment but we're not done yet," said Tempest. "It's time to send this trash heap back to the garbage dump where it belongs. Tempest begins to charge up her next attack while Rodan, grabs Hedorah and lifts it in the air before dropping it. Right before Hedorah hit the ground Anguirus turns around and slams his shell into the smog monster not only shocking it but also sent it flying towards Tempest who then uses her opportunity to fire a blast of electricity from her horn, electrocuting Hedorah as it squeals in pain. The group watches as Hedorah begins to dry up. "Aww yeah that was awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "We really couldn't have done it without you, thank you Tempest," said Twilight. "I'm glad I could be of use," said Tempest. Suddenly, the dried up remains of Hedorah begins to glow before disintegrating like past enemies. "Looks like that's another titan down," said Ilene. Once Hedorah was gone, Biollante's vines and leaves returned to normal. "Biollante's back to her normal self too," said Trapper. "Yeah but Godzilla took a serious beating from that fight," said Bernie. "Why don't we take a break, give Godzilla time to recover?" suggested Ilene. "We still have to thank and introduce ourselves to our friend here," Tempest smiled as she and the Monarch Task Force introduced themselves. "It's a pleasure meeting you here," said Tempest. "By the way Tempest don't you owe us an explanation?' asked Twilight. "Right, I guess I should start from the beginning," said Tempest. Everyone gathered around Tempest as she began telling her side of the story. "I'm honestly not sure what's happening right now, but I was in Canterlot investigating the source of the shock waves when I found a secret passage hidden underneath a pile of rubble. I entered and found the remains of a strange facility I've never seen before," "A strange facility," Twilight repeated. "Even though I found what I believe is to be the source, my curiosity got the better of me, I wanted to learn more about what the place was and went in deeper, there I found something that made my blood boil," "Was it the cells holding Chrysalis, Tirek, Cozy Glow, and King Sombra?" asked Starlight. "No," answered Tempest. "I did see four cells but they were empty, however I believe what I found is much more concerning," Everyone looked at each other with worried expressions. "What do you mean?" asked Sunburst. "Twilight you and your friends remember what happened to the Storm King after I sacrificed myself for you right?" asked Tempest. "Well yeah," answered Twilight. "Well I found the remains of his statue in one of the labs," explained Tempest. "What!?" Twilight gasped. "You can't be serious, Tobias has the Storm King's statue?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I have a bad feeling about this, I don't know what Tobias was planning on doing with the Storm King but it couldn't have been good," said Twilight. "Is there anything else we should know?" "Well I got out of there as fast as I can cause I felt it'd be important to inform you about this, but when i made it out, those two were going at each other," she said pointing towards Anguirus and Rodan. "I didn't want to take any chances getting caught in the middle two giant animals fighting so I tried to make a run for it, but the armadillo noticed me and came after me without hesitation, I had no choice but to defend myself and electrocuted him," "You zapped Anguirus?" asked Twilight. Tempest nodded and continued. "I could've sworn that by shocking him, he was going to get even more aggressive but surprisingly after shocking him, he became extremely docile and calmed down," "Wait Mr. Anguirus calmed down after you shocked him?" asked Fluttershy. Tempest nodded as Twilight and her friends looked at Ilene. "I can't say for sure that I have any idea what's going on, but if Tempest's story is true, than Tobias definitely needs to be stopped ASAP," said Ilene. Everyone nodded in agreement as Ilene pulled out her phone. "It doesn't look like any more titan readings has been picked up, why don't we take a little break, I'm sure both Godzilla and Kong are beat after the constant fights, in the meantime, let's catch each other up, I'm sure Tempest wants to know what's currently going on and we need more info on this 'Storm King' if we're going to stop Tobias," And so everyone nods their heads as they gather around Biollante's base to discuss future plans.
Chapter 11: Titan Battle Royale Part 1After being nearly overpowered by Hedorah, Godzilla lay down for some much needed rest while Mage Meadowbrook tended to his injuries. Meanwhile, Tempest and Ilene exchanged information with each other. "I see, so this Tobias is the one responsible for everything that's happened," said Tempest. "That's pretty much the gist of it," said Ilene. "If that's the case, i don't understand why he would need the remains of the Storm king's statue," said Tempest. "This IS Tobias we're talking about," said Trapper. "Whatever he plans on doing, it can't be good," The group jumps as Godzilla howls in pain. "I'm sorry Mr Godzilla but you need to stop moving," Mage Meadowbrook sighed as she attempted to calm Godzilla down. "It seems like Mage Meadowbrook isn't having much luck," said Sunburst. They looked up to see Fluttershy feeding fresh water to Biollante. "So what's your plan now?" asked Tempest. "It's not like Tobias is going to randomly decide to show himself," Then as if on cue, Spike belches as a letter emerges from the flames. "A letter?" Twilight walked over and unraveled the scroll as she began to read. "It's from Cadence!" Twilight gasped. "What's it say?" asked Starlight. "She said there were sightings of a monster in the frozen north and it's causing a panic in the Crystal Empire so she wants us to hurry on over to ask for our help," said Twilight. "But Mr Godzilla isn't fully healed yet," said Fluttershy. "Leave him to us, the Crystal Empire requires your aid!" said Mage Meadowbrook. "We'll accompany you as well," said Celestia. "If it's another titan we should be there with them," said Ilene. Twilight and her friends huddled around as she used her teleportation spell to warp them out of the forest while the Monarch Task Force piled into the HEAV and took off, leaving the pillars to tend to Godzilla and the other titans. Upon arrival, Twilight and her friends were greeted with a sense of dread and unease. Not a single crystal pony was out walking and the streets were swarming with guards. "What the hay?" asked Rainbow Dash. "What happened here?" asked Capper. "I don't know but I'm sure Cadence will be able to provide some insight on what's going on," said Twilight. "Hey look," Applejack pointed up to see the HEAV coming to a stop before descending. "What the hell?" Bernie asked as they walked out. "So this is the crystal empire, kinda reminds me of the Iwi tribe back in Hollow Earth," said Trapper. "How did you find us?" asked Starlight. "Easy we just went north and saw you all gathered around," said Trapper. "Wow he's good," said Capper. "Never mind that, these ponies need help right?' asked Ilene. "Ah right, come on let's head to the castle," said Twilight. The task force followed after Twilight and her friends as they lead them to the castle. Twilight and her friends wasted no time as they rushed to the throne room where Cadence and Shining Armor and Cadence were waiting. "Twilight you made it!" Cadence gasped. "Cadence is everything alright?" Twilight asked. "Oh Twilight, it's horrible, everything's a mess," said Cadence. "Calm down Cadence just explain to us what happened," said Celestia. "Celestia, oh thank Equestria you're here, it's terrible, a group of crystal ponies went up to the frozen north and came back absolutely terrified claiming to have seen a massive three headed monster that was wreaking havoc near the summit," explained Cadence. "A three headed monster, Miss Ilene isn't that?" Sunburst asked looking in her direction. "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," Ilene nodded. "Hyper what now?" Shining Armor looked at them with a confused expression. "Um Twilight are those?" Cadence asked. "Yes they're humans, it's a long story but I can assure you that they're on our side," Twilight explained. "I see well i suppose now's not the time to be asking questions, if they can help us we would gladly assist them," said Cadence. "In that case, do you have any idea if this monster's still up on the mountain?" Ilene asked. "Well I-" But Cadence's statement was suddenly interrupted by a loud mechanical roar. "That didn't sound good," Applejack swallowed hard. Suddenly a loud bang rang out through the castle as the doors to the throne room swung open and a familiar figure entered. "Look like I found you," Tobias sneered. "Tobias," Twilight growled as her friends turned to face him. "To think that my little bait worked, you truly are more naive than i thought," Tobias snickered. "Bait?" asked Spike. "What you thought that I was just going to announce my presence that easily?" asked Tobias. "It's a little too early for that isn't it?" "What do you mean?" asked Ilene. "I know what you've been up to Dr Andrews, honestly to think that you were able to not only destroy Hedorah and the MUTOs but to also free Anguirus from my control, you've proved to be quite annoying," Tobias hissed. "Well I mean you DID technically provoke Godzilla," said Bernie. "That overgrown lizard didn't do everything, I know you've been using that girl to ask that monkey for help, and on top of that you've gotten that chicken involved as well" growled Tobias. "And now you're going as far as to tend to his injuries, you truly have no shame, filthy sewer rats," "That would be our line you fiend, you polluted the Everfree forest and used that poor rose as bait for that trash heap and now you're dragging an entire kingdom into your machine's destructive rampage for your own selfish goals," hissed Luna. "Hmph say what you will, but I'm afraid this is where your attempt to save this world ends, you thought i would show myself to face you?" he sneered. "Allow me to present a little surprise I've been saving for you," He pulled out another remote and pushed a button as an explosion takes out a huge chunk of the castle wall giving them a view of the crystal empire. "You see I've been watching your every movement since I destroyed the capital, and saw how both Kong and Godzilla handled the MUTOs while Rodan was pursuing Anguirus," he explained. "Sure Kong and Godzilla was able to overpower the two aliens but during the battle with Hedorah, I saw just how badly they struggled, and of course Rodan and Anguirus came to their aid but considering how the two were at each other's throats, surely by the time they faced Hedorah they would be drained of energy, and sure enough I was right," He stepped to the side so that the group could see Hyper Mecha Ghidorah towering over the city as the guards attempted to fight off the threat. "But now with Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus all out of commission for the time being, there's nothing you can do to save this kingdom, the four villains I kept as prisoners, plus the fifth one that was still petrified, well let's just say that they had other uses to them besides their magic," "What are you implying?" asked Twilight. "You see after I intentionally destroyed that underground facility, I had my team escort them out," explained Tobias. "You kept them alive?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Of course, but only because I had other plans for them," said Tobias. "Other plans?" asked Applejack. "You see Hyper Mecha Ghidorah has the ability to create copies of Godzilla's former rivals however there is one other function I hadn't mention to you yet," said Tobias. "During the mecha's construction I had taken DNA samples of those five hoping it might come in use and sure enough they did," "Is that why you had kept the Storm King's statue in your lab?" asked Twilight. "Hmph about time you figured it out," said Tobias. "Using the five DNA samples I've taken, I fed them into my mecha's data system and saved them for when the time was right, and now, by combining the data from the Titan Files and the DNA samples my mecha was able to give birth to five new creations," He snapped his fingers as the left and right heads on the mecha turned to their respective sides and fired a blue holographic beam downwards and slowly moved up as two holographic figures were created. Finally the two heads zapped their creations with a magic blast from their visor like eyes,bringing the two creatures to life. The two heads repeated the process creating two more copies while the center head carried out the process only once, creating a total of five new monsters. "Behold my newest creations!" Tobias announced. "Ok this is definitely bad," said Rainbow Dash. "Allow me to introduce you to them," said Tobias. He pointed to the monster on the far left which seemed to resemble King Ghidorah but instead of the usual golden yellow scales it was black. This version of Ghidorah also had red eyes with green irises and hazy purple smoke flowing out. "By combining the titan data of Desghidorah and King Sombra, I was able to create a version of Ghidorah that could not only phase through walls and obstacles like smoke, but also create crystals that could be used as a form of defense or offense thus I have dubbed this monster Shadow Ghidorah," Next he pointed to the monster on the far right. This monster sported a large saw on his frontal abdomen and had two massive steel hooks in replacement for hands and smaller ones for toes. It had a tail with spikes running down and three sail like fins on it's back with a single red visor for it's eyes. Just like Rodan the monster had a beak instead of a mouth and had a bright red coat with two large black horns that protruded from it's head. "By combining the titan data of Gigan and Tirek I was able to create a monster with a large arsenal of attacks but also with the ability to absorb magic from living beings, thus I have dubbed this monster Tirgan," "Oh sweet Celestia no," Twilight swallowed hard as her memories of fighting the two started flowing back. He pointed to the monster on the left which resembled a cross between Godzilla a giant dragonfly. It had a thick black skin covered with green spikes and a head that appeared more reptilian than insect. It had a long tail with a massive stinger at the tip and two mandibles. "For this one, I have combined the titan data of Megaguirus and the DNA of Queen Chrysalis creating a monster that has high agility and possess the power to shapeshift, thus I have dubbed this monster Chrysaguirus," He then points to the monster on the right which resembled a bipedal cat with light salmon pink scales and a tuft of sky blue hair on it's head with three horns protruding from it. "By combining the titan data of Gabara and Cozy Glow, it gave birth to a monster with the agility so high it makes Rainbow Dash look like the scrapped design of a Toho monster," Tobias laughed. "Hey!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed clearly insulted. "I don't know what that means but I am definitely 20% much more cooler than that ugly cat," "Well this 'ugly cat' also can blast all of you into next week using it's powerful magic, thus I have dubbed this monster, Glowbara," He pointed to the fifth and final monster at the center. This monster was an ape like Kong but was much lankier and had elongated limbs. Black fur covered most of it's body except it's face,scalp,upper torso, arms, and legs. A giant bone like whip was wrapped over it's shoulders and the tip was decorated with a blue crystal that appeared to conduct electricity. "This final monster was created by combining the titan data of Skar King and what little DNA I could retrieve from the Storm King, thankfully it was enough to create a monster that could not only move fast but attack with enough power and ferocity to overpower both Godzilla and Kong,not only that but it con conjure up electricity using the crystal at the end of it's weapon, but I couldn't come up with any names for it so I just stuck with Storm King," "How is that relevant? asked Starlight. "it's not and neither are any of you standing in this room," sneered Tobias. "Now I would provide a demonstration of how these monsters function, but I think it's better you see for yourself, that is if you survive," Tobias laughed as he and Hyper King Ghidorah warps out of the crystal empire as the monsters roar and starts attacking the city. "Hey don't run coward!" Rainbow Dash exclaims. "Ugh he got away again," "This is bad, if we leave these monsters alone the whole city will be destroyed," said Cadence. "Yeah but we're just ponies and a couple of humans and those things are big tall monsters, what can we do?" asked Applejack. Suddenly another roar echoed throughout the empire grabbing everyone's attention, when they look up, they saw Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus slowly making their way towards the empire fully recovered and ready for a fight. "Well their timing couldn't be any better," said Trapper. They watched as the two groups of titans faced each other. As Godzilla let out a war cry, he rushed towards the Storm King and his minions with Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus right behind him. The titan battle royale had begun.
Chapter 12: Titan Battle Royale Part 2Seeing all the chaos unfold outside their homes, the crystal ponies screamed in terror as they scrambled to evacuate the empire as Godzilla and his allies continued to clash with the other titans. Thankfully, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart were able to escape with the combined efforts of the Monarch Task Force and Twilight and her friends. "My subjects, please calm yourselves!" Cadence ordered. "How can we stay calm when our city's currently being destroyed!?" a pony argued. Cadence looked up as Kong punches Tirgan knocking it into some nearby buildings. "I...." Cadence desperately tries to find a way to ease the ponies concerns but it was clear they were too on edge by the scene unfolding before them. "If we can somehow direct the battle away from the city, we might still be able to save the empire," suggested Starlight. "How?" asked Rainbow Dash. "It's not like those things will just move somewhere else if we ask nicely," "What do we do Twilight?" Applejack asked. Twilight tries to come up with a solution as the battle continues to rage on. "I...I don't know," said Twilight. The ponies cower in fear as Godzilla roars before tackling Shadow Ghidorah to the ground. "My subjects I understand you're worried, but we must worry about our lives first," said Cadence. "Let us settle here until the battle subsides," The ponies talk amongst themselves clearly unsure about Cadence's suggestion but eventually agree that their lives are more important. "Fine we'll put our faith in you princess," said a pony. Cadence gave them a light smile before looking towards the crystal empire. The others followed her gaze and watched as the battle raged on. Anguirus curls up into a ball and rolls towards Glowbara ramming into it's chest and sending it flying towards Shadow Ghidorah. But Shadow Ghidorah quickly turns into a dark smoke and splits in half before merging back together. Anguirus quickly retreats back into his shell as Shadow Ghidorah fires a blast of dark energy towards him but Godzilla takes this opportunity and slams his tail into the monster knocking it down. Meanwhile Kong is clashing with Tirgan as it attempts to slash at him with it's hooked claws. "This is getting quite intense," said Tempest. "But we're going to have to rely on Godzilla and his allies if we want any hopes of defeating those monsters," said Ilene. "Yeah go, go Godzilla!" Pinkie cheers. "I find it hard to believe that Pinkie's seeing this as some sort of entertainment," sighed Rarity. Pinkie continued to cheer as the titans clashed. Kong growled as he tried to swing at Chrysaguirus but to no avail. Seeing this Anguirus walked up next to Kong and raised his tail before gesturing towards the flying menace. Kong smirked as he grabbed Anguirus's tail and began swinging before hurling the oversized turtle at Chrysaguirus knocking her out of the air and sending her crashing into the ground. Seeing this Tirgan retaliates by firing it's grappling hooks from under it's hooked claws and wrapping them around Kong before pulling him in towards it's buzz saw embedded in it's chest. Thankfully, Rodan quickly intervenes by burning the wires with his radioactive flames. Shadow Ghidorah rushes to it's partner's aid by transforming into a cloud of smoke and surrounding Rodan, blinding him.Godzilla attempts to save his comrade by firing his atomic heat ray at Shadow Ghidorah only to accidentally hit Rodan instead and sends him crashing to the ground. Chrysaguirus follows in and incapacitates Rodan by jabs him in his left wing with her stinger. "Uh oh," says Capper. "This is bad, Rodan's down," said Ilene. Anguirus tries to save his friend but is quickly intercepted by Glowbara who blocks his path. As Rodan rolls around on the ground trying to escape, Chrysaguirus shape shifts into a Skull Crawler before biting down on his right wing. Realizing his ally is in trouble, Kong grabs one of the buildings next to his feet and smashes it above Chrysaguirus's head temporary stunning it and giving Kong the opportunity to grab the shapeshifting monster and throws it at Glowbara knocking the two onto the ground. "Aww yeah now that's what I call teamwork!" said Rainbow Dash. "Yay," Fluttershy murmurs as she quietly claps her hooves. As Glowbara and Chrysaguirus slowly get to their feet, Kong raises his fist and attempts to punch the two monsters but is stopped by something, he looks up to see the Storm King's whip wrapped around his arm. As he tries to remove his restraints, the Storm King yanks hard and drags Kong down saving it's two minions. Anguirus sees his opening and crawls over to Rodan to check on his condition but is quickly swallowed up by Shadow Ghidorah's smoke. Godzilla hears his ally yelp and attempts to fire another blast of his atomic heat ray but ends up striking Anguirus instead. "Oh come on that's the second time he did that!" Bernie groans. Godzilla's eyes burn with rage as Shadow Ghidorah reemerges in front of him. As Shadow Ghidorah shoots him a taunting look, Godzilla roars before charging at the three headed monster. Just as he was about to reach Shadow Ghidorah, Tirgan suddenly comes up from the side and slashes at Godzilla with it's hooked claws. Seeing it's opening, Shadow Ghidorah quickly swallows both Godzilla and Tirgan in a cloud of smoke. As Godzilla tries to locate his target, Tirgan uses Shadow Ghidorah's smoke to it's advantage and begins slashing at him from within the smoke. Meanwhile as Kong attempts to get to his feet, Chrysaguirus latches itself onto his back while Glowbara pummels him with it's punches and kicks. Anguirus manages to recover from the attack and rushes over to Kong to help him, but the Storm King uses the crystal at the end of it's whip to summon a bolt of lightning down onto Anguirus, stunning him. "Uh y'all this doesn't look good," said Applejack. They watch as the Storm King grabs Anguirus with it's whip before hurling him towards the smoke. As Shadow Ghidorah disperses, Godzilla is struck by Anguirus sending him toppling onto the ground. As they try to stand up, Tirgan jumps on top of Godzilla and begins slashing at him. Next to him Anguirus is struggling to stand up when Shadow Ghidorah grabs his tail with it's teeth before lifting him up and slamming him down onto the ground. All the while Kong is still struggling with Chrysaguirus and Glowbara. "Um is it just me or are they losing this one?" asked Trixie. The group looks on with concern as Kong finally throws Chrysaguirus off his back only for it to shape shift into Skar King and begin striking him in the back with it's whip. Godzilla was also on the verge of defeat as Tirgan continued to slash at him. It finally stopped it's onslaught as Godzilla lay on the ground severely wounded, but Tirgan wasn't done as it charged up it's magic and blasted Godzilla in the face. Now with Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus all defeated, Storm King let out a triumphant roar as it's minions joined it's side. "Oh no," Fluttershy whimpered. "This isn't good," said Ilene. "How is it those things are so powerful?" Cadence asked. "They used cheat moves!" said Rainbow Dash. Storm King looked at Shadow Ghidorah and gestured it towards Godzilla. The three headed monster turned towards the defeated King and began charging up an attack as everyone watched in anticipation. "We need to do something before they kill Godzilla," said Ilene. "Ok but what can we do?" asked Bernie. "There has to be SOMETHING right?" asked Starlight. Realizing that there nothing could be done, they all prepared to watch the end of the king, but just when Shadow Ghidorah was about to let loose it's attack, a blast of icy cold air suddenly struck the monster in the chest as it's body became encased in a blanket of ice. "What was that!?" asked Luna. Another roar filled the area as everyone turned around to see a giant white quadrupedal creature with large blue crystalline spines protruding from it's back. Riding it was an ape similar to Kong but much smaller and covered with orange fur unlike it's older counterpart. "Are those?" asked Cadence. "No way," said Trapper. "What are they doing here?" asked Bernie. "Miss Ilene are they titans?" asked Fluttershy. "Not just any titans, that's the ancient titan Shimo and Kong's loyal kin, Suko," Ilene explained. Storm King roared as it's minions turned towards the newcomers. Shimo responded with a roar of her own before charging towards them with Suko on her back. Storm King pointed the crystal at them as Glowbara, Chrysaguirus, and Tirgan prepared to engage. Glowbara reached down and grabbed a building before hurling it towards the two, but Shimo quickly froze it with her ice breath allowing Suko to jump up and catch the frozen mass before hurling it at the frozen Shadow Ghidorah and shattering it upon impact. As the chunks of ice landed around them, they began to glow in the golden light before disintegrating. "Yes!" Bernie exclaimed pumping his fists. "That's one down!" added Applejack. Seeing their ally go down like that was enough to provoke the remaining four. This distraction was enough time for Kong to grab Anguirus by the tail and throw him at Glowbara sending it flying forwards where it landed face first into the ground. Realizing what happened, Chrysaguirus, Tirgan, and Storm King turned around as Kong held up his axe and roared with Anguirus standing next to him. Glowbara slowly got up and stomped it's feet in frustration as Tirgan began charging up an attack having completely forgotten about Shimo and Suko. As Glowbara slowly approached Kong, Suko jumped off Shimo, and climbed on top of Glowbara's head and began biting and scratching at it's face as it tried to shake him off. "Sheesh that's terrifying," said Spike. "I think it's cute," said Fluttershy. Chrysaguirus looked around confused trying to figure out who to help, but before it could make a choice, Shimo lunged at it and pulled it out of the air and onto the ground by it's tail. As Chrysaguirus tried to escape, Shimo swung it by the tail before throwing it at Glowbara. Seeing the monster come flying towards it, Suko jumped off as the two monsters crashed into each other. Meanwhile as Tirgan finished charging up, Suko landed on top of it and forcefully broke off one of it's horns as Tirgan tried shaking him off. Kong quickly used this distraction and broke off one of Tirgan's hooked claws. Just as he was about to do the same for his other claw, Tirgan quickly threw Suko off of it's head and into Kong. As the two apes got to their feet, Tirgan raised it's second claw and was about to attack when a blast of atomic breath erupted, leaving a gaping hole in it's chest. As Tirgan collapsed, Kong and Suko could see Godzilla on his feet standing behind the monster. "Haha two down!" Rainbow exclaimed as Tirgan disintegrated. Now Storm King was furious, it had just lost two of it's loyal minions and they still hadn't managed to kill Godzilla or his allies. It turned to give orders to Chrysaguirus and Glowbara only to see Rodan lifting up a frozen Chrysaguirus in the air and dropping it on top of a froze Glowbara shattering the two titans into pieces. Now with all it's minions gone, Storm King was forced to face, Godzilla, Kong, Anguirus, Rodan, Shimo, and Suko all on it's own. As Godzilla and his allies surrounded Storm King, it raised it's whip and attempted to subdue the king of monsters only to have it ripped out of it's hands and ripped in half by Godzilla. "Nowhere to run buddy," Trapper chuckled. As Storm King waited for their next move, Suko caught him off guard by jumping at it's face and scratching viciously at it. It ripped Suko off it's face and attempted to throw him onto the ground, but not before Kong came in and punched the titan into the ground face first. Kong quickly grabbed Storm King before it could recover and threw him towards Godzilla as he slammed his tail sending him back towards Kong who punched him back into the ground. "Ouch," Cadence winced as she watched them beat Storm King into a pulp. Before it could get back up, Rodan grabbed it by the leg and lifted it into the air where Shimo froze it with her ice breath. Kong used this opportunity to grab Anguirus by the tail and swing him around before throwing him at the frozen Storm King just as Rodan let it go. Anguirus's shell collided with the frozen titan, smashing it into chunks of ice as the crowd ponies cheered. Godzilla and his allies let out a victory roar as the Storm King disintegrated just like it's fellow minions. "Aw yeah that was awesome!" said Rainbow Dash. "Talk about teamwork," Tempest chuckled. "I think this calls for a victory party!" cheered Pinkie. "I hate to break it to you Pinkie, but I think we should focus on rebuilding the Crystal Empire first," said Starlight. "I agree," said Cadence. "Aww phooey," Pinkie pouted. "Plus we still have Tobias to worry about, as long as he and Hyper Mecha Ghidorah are on the lose, peace won't be returning to this world anytime soon," added Ilene. "I guess you're right," said Pinkie. "I suppose you'll be heading off again?" asked Shining Armor. "Sorry brother, we want to help you and Cadence, but as Miss Ilene said, we need to find Tobias and stop him," said Twilight. "I understand," said Cadence. "Worry not Twilight, we'll stay and help them out," said Luna. "Are you sure?" she asked. "We may not have our magic back, but we can still be useful in other ways," said Celestia. "Thank you Celestia and Luna," said Cadence. "I guess if it's ok with you two we won't have to worry about anything else," said Twilight. "Do be careful alright?" asked Cadence. "Don't worry as long as Godzilla's on our side I'm sure we'll be fine," said Starlight. "Alright we should get going, the longer we waste, the more victims start to pile up," said Ilene. Everyone nodded as they prepared for their next course of action. Tobias was still out there and it was only a matter of time before he got what he wanted. They had to hurry, otherwise it would be the end of Equestria.
Chapter 13: A Buggy MessAfter receiving a distress call from Cadence, Twilight and her friends made their way to the Crystal Empire only to be confronted by Tobias himself. Frustrated with his failed attempts to finally rid Twilight and co, Tobias, using the power of Hyper Mecha Ghidorah, summoned 5 new monsters modified with the DNA of Equestria's most dangerous villains as a desperate attempt. Sensing the danger, Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, and Anguirus rushed to battle to put down the monsters only to be overpowered. Thankfully after nearly meeting their ends, Shimo and Suko rushed to their aid and with the combined strength of all 6 titans, they were able to reclaim victory from the villains. Now with the crystal empire saved, Ilene and the rest of the Monarch Task Force made it a priority to stop Tobias from causing more damage. The only problem was tracking him down. Thus with the help from Twilight and her friends, the members of the task force were able to continue their search while the ponies helped them navigate Equestria. They were now heading towards the changeling kingdom after Ilene's phone detected another titan reading from the nearby area. "Good you guys made it," Twilight said greeting the four as they exited the HEAV. "Yeah not really difficult when you got the necessary tools," Trapper chuckled. "Spike's gone to talk with their leader, he's been friends with him for a while so he should be able to convince the changelings that you mean well," said Twilight. "He's also catching them up on our current situation," added Starlight. "That'll save us some extra time," said Ilene. "Sorry to keep you waiting," Spike called out to them with Thorax by his side. "Timing couldn't be more perfect Spike," said Twilight. "Hey Twilight, hey Starlight, good to see you two again," Thorax waved at the two before looking towards Ilene. "Oh and these must be the humans who's going to help us," "Well not necessarily us," Bernie murmured. "So what's the situation looking like?" asked Ilene. "Well uh it's not too good," said Thorax. "Well that's reassuring," said Bernie. "Follow me, I think it's better if you see it for yourselves," said Thorax. Confused Ilene, Bernie, Jia, and Trapper began following Thorax. "It all started when that big three headed monster began capturing changelings and sucking up their magic, I managed to help my kind retreat back into the hive after the attack unfortunately only me, Pharynx, and Ocellus managed to avoid capture," explained Thorax. "Dr isn't that?" asked Tempest. Ilene nodded "Tobias is continuing to hunt down every form of life in this world to take their magic we need to hurry before things get any worse," she said. "Well before you do that we need help with THIS," Thorax pointed to a field infested with large praying mantises feasting on the greenery used to decorate the hive. "Shit it's Kamacuras," Ilene cursed under her breath. "I'm sorry what?" asked Thorax. "Kamacuras basically giant praying mantises," explained Ilene. "They're not so intimidating on their own, but when they gather in a swarm like this, they become more annoying than anything," "Eww so gross," Rarity groaned. "Is there anything we can do?" asked Thorax. "Normally Godzilla should be able to handle something like this on his own but he's currently resting up with the other titans back at the empire," sighed Ilene. "So we're in trouble," said Rainbow Dash. "Oh, our hive is not prepared for something like this," Thorax whimpered. As he said that a large scythe like appendage suddenly emerged from below and almost crushes the group. "Eep!" Fluttershy yelped. They watch as a Kamacuras crawls up and stares at them with it's beady eyes. "Eww get it away from me!" Rarity screamed as she hid behind Thorax. The Kamacuras hissed and raised it's legs, ready to pounce when a massive spider web dropped on top of it trapping it. "Are we safe?" Rarity asked looking up. The Kamacuras screeched as it tried to escape, but not before a massive spider emerged from behind. "Now a spider!?" Trixie yelped. But instead of attacking them, the giant spider began to drag the web containing the Kamacuras away from the group. It looked at them one final times with it's 6 blue eyes before turning it's attention towards the the others in the swarm. "It saved us?" asked Spike. "Dr. what exactly was that?" asked Starlight. "Considering it captured that Kamacuras I can only suspect that it's him," said Ilene. "Kumonga correct?" asked Trapper. Ilene nodded as they watched the spider hunt down the rest of the Kamacuras that tried to escape. After trapping the remainder of the swarm, Kumonga turned it's attention towards the group and scuttled towards them. "Oh shit," Bernie and the others began to back away as the spider monster continued to pick up speed. But just before it could pounce, another screech rang out grabbing it's attention. They all turned towards the source to find a much bigger spider entering Kumonga's territory. "Another spider!?" Trixie yelped. Unlike Kumonga, this one had eight legs that resembled bamboo stalks and it's face resembled a skull with beady red eyes. "Mother Long Leg," Ilene said as she began backing up. Kumonga let out an ear piercing screech as the Mother Long Leg scuttled towards him at high speeds. Kumonga quickly spewed out several strands of his web in attempts to slow it down but the Mother Long Leg showed no signs of stopping. Before Kumonga could do anything else, the Mother Long Legs rammed into him sending him crashing into the side of a nearby boulder. Kumonga scrambled to his feet as the Mother Long Leg attempted to jump on top of him before spewing a glob of his thread into the eyes of his rival. With the Mother Long Leg distracted, Kumonga began wrapping his silk around it's legs and tying them together causing the overgrown spider to trip and come crashing down. "Talk about a take down," said Trapper. As Kumonga produced a stinger from it's mouth, the Mother Long Legs broke through his silk and rolled to the side to avoid being stung. As it finally managed to shake off the web off it's face, the Mother Long Leg screeches at Kumonga clearly enraged. "Ok and it's pissed off," said Bernie. As the two roar at each other, the area around them suddenly explodes shaking the earth and knocking the party down. The group slowly gets to their feet as dust covers the area obstructing their view. "What the hell was that?" Bernie coughed. "Whatever it was, it obviously wasn't pretty," Thorax hacked as he spit dirt out of his mouth. Suddenly another roar filled the area grabbing their attention. "That didn't sound good," said Capper. As the dust cleared and both Kumonga and the Mother Long Leg slowly got to their feet, two more monsters were standing in front of them. One resembled a cross between a cockroach and a rhinoceros beetle standing on it's hind legs. A large silver and grey horn protruded from the center of it's head and in place of arms were two large drill like appendages. The second was a giant black moth with red, yellow, and black patterns on it's wings and two yellow horns on it's head. It's six legs dangled as it hovered above the ground and it's two red eyes burned with a deep hatred. "Ah what horrid creatures!" Rarity exclaimed as Applejack shot her a look, clearly not amused. "Miss Ilene," Twilight said looking at her. "I know," she said nodding her head. She quickly pulled up the data on her phone. "The one on the right is called Megalon, he was a large insectoid that was defeated by Godzilla many years ago after he was sent to destroy our world by an underground civilization," she explained. "The monster next to him is considered to be a dark counterpart of one of Godzilla's allies, who appeared in order to wipe out the entire human race because he saw them as a blight to the planet, we have dubbed him Battra," "Talk about a destructive duo," said Trixie. "If these two were created by Hyper Mecha Ghidorah as well, then no doubt that Godzilla will come after them," said Ilene. "Yeah but Godzilla's currently out of commission from the last battle," said Bernie. "Um does that mean we're..." Spike asked nervously. "We're most definitely screwed," said Bernie. Kumonga and the Mother Long Leg roars as Megalon and Battra simply stare them down completely unfazed. Kumonga rushes forward in an attempt to tackle Megalon but he quickly jumps over him. As Kumonga turns around, Megalon opens his mouth and fires two red crystalline stones at Kumonga which explode on impact. As Kumonga is left stunned, Battra follows up by tackling Kumonga with his two horns and sends him tumbling down a large cliff. Megalon lets out a victory cry not noticing the Mother Long Leg sneaking up behind him. In attempts to subdue the overgrown beetle, the Mother Long Leg shoots out it's silk, but Megalon simply slices through it's silk with his drill like appendages. Frustrated, the Mother Long Leg lunges at Megalon only to be sliced in half by his drills. "Alright now we're definitely screwed," said Bernie. Megalon laughs as the two halves of the Mother Long Leg disintegrates before turning towards the group. "Um it's looking at us," said Capper. "Miss Ilene isn't there anything we can do?" asked Starlight. "At this point our only option is to run," she answered. "Oh we're doomed," Fluttershy whimpered. They watch as Megalon and Battra slowly approach them. Twilight attempts to blast him with her magic, but Megalon simply shrugs off her attack and continues to approach. "It's no use, my magic doesn't affect that thing," said Twilight. "Oh sweet Celestia no, I don't want to die, especially not by a giant disgusting bug!" Rarity cried. "That's what you're worried about right now!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. They look up as Megalon towers over them screeching loudly. "No I won't let you hurt my friends!" Thorax quickly changed into a dragon and attempted to fight off Megalon, but the monster simply swats him away with his giant drills sending Thorax crashing into the ground. "Thorax!" Spike gasped as he rushed over to his friends side. Megalon roared as he raised his two drills over them. The group quickly huddled together as Twilight summoned a shield around them protecting her friends from Megalon's drills. Twilight gasped and collapsed as Megalon managed to destroy her shield in three strikes. "This is bad, this is seriously bad!" Pinkie yelped. Fluttershy cowered in fear as Megalon raised his drills one final time. But just before he could bring it down on them, he was suddenly knocked back and into Battra by a blast of light. "What was that!?" asked Tempest. A loud shrill cry rang out causing the group to turn around as a second giant moth descended landing behind them, its' body glowing in ethereal light. "Oh not another one," said Rarity. "No wait that's," Ilene quickly gets to her feet while holding Jia as the moth looks down at them with it's large blue eyes. "Is it not going to attack us?" asked Sunburst. "Not this one," said Ilene. "This is an ancient ally of Godzilla, the protector of humanity and the queen of monsters, this is Mothra,"
Chapter 15: The Nacre NemesisAfter claiming victory against the giant insectoid titans, Godzilla was slowly making his way towards an unknown island with the HEAV as well as the Mane 6 and co following close behind. "Where is Godzilla heading now?" asked Applejack. They watched as Godzilla disappeared into the water with only his dorsal spikes indicating his location. "Twilight isn't that?" Spike looked up at her. "Yeah he's headed towards the dragon's lair," said Twilight. "Oh no Ember!" "Spike wait!" Twilight followed after Spike as he rushed off. "Spikey Wikey!" Rarity cried out to him. "We have to follow them," said Sunburst. "Uh how do we do that?" asked Trixie. Their ears perk up when they hear a familiar cry and look up to see Mothra descending towards them. Meanwhile, Twilight and Spike continue to follow Godzilla and the HEAV towards the dragon's lair. As the island comes into view, they began to notice the island littered with weakened dragons that were covered in a mysterious blue substance. Twilight and Spike follow after the HEAV as it lands on the island scanning the area. "What in Equestria?" asked Twilight. "Well this place definitely looks like it has seen better days," said Trapper. Ilene walks over and examines the mysterious blue substance as Twilight and Spike begins checking up on the dragons. "They look drained," said Spike. "Must be Tobias's doing, if so then we're already too late," said Twilight. "Spike!" the group looks up as a familiar blue scaled dragon descends. "Princess Ember!" Spike runs up to her. "Spike what are you doing here?" Ember asked. "And are those humans?" "It's a long story, but before that what exactly happened here?" Spike asked. "A lot of things, absolute chaos, first this large three headed dragon shows up and begins attacking everyone, except it didn't have scales and instead of killing us, it simply captured us and began absorbing our energy, everyone's drained," Spike looks over at Twilight "Hyper Mecha Ghidorah," Twilight nods. "Not only that but I think it used our energy to create another dragon," Ember continued. "It created another dragon?" asked Spike. Ember was about to elaborate when she stepped back as she looked behind them. "What the!?" Spike turned around as Godzilla slowly emerged from the water snarling. "Oh um yeah, him Princess Ember allow me to introduce you to Godzilla," said Spike. "Godzilla?" Ember looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. "Yep, and he's here because he's going to help us defeat that three headed dragon you mentioned. "This thing?" asked Ember. Godzilla looked down at her before snarling. "I mean sure he looks powerful but how is it possible that this thing's going to take on a three headed dragon?" "We've seen his strength first hand, and I can assure you he's no pushover," Twilight added. "Anyway you said it created a second dragon right?" asked Spike. "Where is this other dragon?" "I don't know it spit out those weird blue stuff and flew off," said Ember pointing to the blue substance. Spike and Twilight walked over to Ilene as she stood up. "Doc?" Bernie asked. "It's Nacre," said Ilene. "Na what now?" asked Bernie. "Nacre, a type of substance that can encapsulate and preserve living organisms," explained Ilene. 'Um if everyone here is covered in that stuff isn't that a bad thing?" asked Spike. "Most likely, and if what your friend said is true, then there can only be one monster that can be responsible for this," said Ilene. Their conversation is suddenly interrupted when a loud roar fills the area. "Uh what was that?' asked Spike. Then without warning something flies in and grabs onto Godzilla. They look up to see a large dragon covered in black scales latched onto Godzilla. It had a head resembling a fish and two bovine like horns with reptilian eyes. "The Ion Dragon," said Ilene. They watched as the Ion Dragon bit down onto Godzilla's neck and attempted to pry open his mouth with it's four pronged pincer like tail, only for Godzilla to rip one of the prongs off causing it to yelp. Godzilla quickly grabbed the dragon and throws it at the large stone structure in the center of the island before it circles back for another attack. Godzilla began to charge up a blast of his atomic breath, but not before the Ion Dragon sprayed Godzilla in the face with Nacre, stunning him long enough retaliate with an attack of it's own. "Hey shouldn't we help him?" asked Ember. "Hehe just watch," said Spike. Ember looked back up as Godzilla grabbed the Ion Dragon by one of it's legs and pulls it down before blasting it in the face with a dose of it's atomic breath. As the Ion Dragon tries to escape, Godzilla simply grabbed it by the wings and swung it around in a circle and tore one of it's wings clean off before hurling it towards the stone structure in the center of the island. As the dragon scrambled to get back up, Godzilla fired off another blast of his atomic breath causing the Ion Dragon to explode before roaring towards the sky. "No way that just happened," said Ember. "Told you he's strong," said Spike. At that moment, any remains of the Ion Dragon along with all the Nacre began to dissolve into golden dust. "Huh," Ember flew up to Godzilla's level clearly impressed. "You're not so bad after all, I like someone who can hold his own in battle," Godzilla snorts in response. "I don't think he understands you Ember," said Spike. "Oh yeah how about this?" She roars before spewing a fountain of fire towards the sky. Seeing this Godzilla charges up his atomic breath before firing it towards the sky before looking towards Ember. "Ha I really like him," "I have a feeling Godzilla and Ember will get along great," Twilight chuckles. "Hey!" They look up as Mothra descends and the others jump off of her. "We saw a bright pink light, is everypony ok?" asked Applejack. "Huh nothing's here, did we miss it?" asked Pinkie. "Yeah Godzilla pretty much cleaned up the mess in just a minute," said Spike. "Are you serious!?" exclaimed Rainbow Dash. "Oh well, maybe next time darling," said Rarity. "Uh who's the giant moth?" asked Ember. "Oh her, don't worry she's on our side," said Starlight. "More importantly what happened?" Spike and Twilight quickly explained to the rest of the group what transpired on the dragon lands. "So even the dragons," said Tempest. "Yeah, it seems as more time passes, the victims continue to pile up, we need to hurry," said Ilene. "Man I really wanted to see Godzilla beat up a dragon," Rainbow Dash pouted. "Now's not the time to be complainin," said Applejack. "She's right, I've gotten another reading," said Ilene. "Well looks like we're off again," said Capper. "So you're leaving?" asked Ember. "Sorry but if we want to help Equestria, we have to keep moving," said Spike. "I understand, well if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask me, I'll do whatever I can," said Ember. "Thanks Ember," said Spike. "Godzilla's on the move, let's roll," said Trapper. Spike said his final goodbyes before following after the others as they continue forward to their next destination.
