The Cine-magic Series: Godzilla

The Mane 6, Spike, Ford, and Akio all settled down for the comforting trip through the airport. For what it was worth, it was a good way to calm down and unwind from all that had transpired in the past 24 hours. However, back on the USS Saratoga, things were starting to get heated.

"Admiral, received an intel report," a naval officer said to the admiral. "We lost track of a nuclear Akula 50 nautical miles northwest of Hawaii. Could be the MUTO."

While it was targeted at him, Dr. Serizawa's attention was brought over to the advisory. Setting down his pen and paper, the Japanese scientist got up from his seat and approached Admiral Stenz. Dr. Graham had been standing a few feet away, just as intrigued of what the officer had said.

"Just got word of a missing Russian sub in the North Pacific," Admiral Stenz relayed.

He turned to some of the other officer working in the control room.

"Martinez?"

"Aye, sir." the female officer responded. "Special Forces Team Sparta 1 is picking up a distress signal northwest of Diamond Head on the island of Oahu. They're on the ground, headed to the beacon."

Some of the monitors displayed the helmet cams on the search team as they search for the missing submarine.

"--on 5.23 north-northeast of the last beacon. Moving in on foot."

The team of soldiers trekked through the rugged, tropical landscape. They only thing keeping them company was the distant calls of the birds and insects. Despite their orders, a few of them couldn't help but think of the absurdity of searching for a missing seacraft in the middle of jungle.

"Wanna tell me why we're looking for an Akula in the jungle?" one of the them asked, unassumed of the fact that were tasked to venture into a muggy region with heavy, clunky gear.

"Probably a glitch," a another presumed. "Russians said they got a ping from this location."

The soldier holding the tracking radar was also receiving a ping near the location they were in. Though, the glitch idea became the untold consensus amongst the team.

"Hey, I got a reading. It's right up ahead."

Up above, search and rescue helicopters shined their search lights down through the thick trees, slicing through the sweltering darkness of the evening sky.

"Sparta 1, this is Hawkeye," one of the pilots said. "We're getting the same ping off the transponder. Range 30 meters. Looks like you're getting warm."

The team of soldiers treaded through the lush vegetation. The tracker began beeping more rapidly as they got closer to the location. Their weapon lights then luminated something abnormal amongst the tropical brush. They were torpedoes.

"What the hell?" one of them said.

The soldiers holding the tracker cautiously approached the pile. Large gashes had been sliced into the shells and they were coated in a white, viscous slime. The soldier wiped away some of the gunk, showing the black and yellow warning label for radioactive material.

"Jesus," he said in disgust, the substance clung to his glove.

That wasn't the worst part. strands of the weird substance dripped onto the torpedoes from somewhere up above. The team raised their lights up and saw, to their shock, a massive ship propeller covered in the slime. Worse still, the propeller was still attached to something.

"Oh, my god," one of the soldiers gaped.

The helicopters' search lights came back on. The lights trailed up an entire Russian, Akula-style submarine perched up on a hilltop. The search team were in complete disbelief. It was no glitch, it was legit. A whole Russian sub beached amongst the Hawaiian native trees, coated in a mysterious slime.

"Guardian 3, we located your Russian sub." one of them announced, but there was more. "You're not going to believe what else we found."

"Holy shit," one of the helicopter pilots muttered.

On the far side of the shredded seacraft, the MUTO was munching down on a torpedo. It seems relatively unbothered from all the blinding lights shining on it.

"It appears to be rising approximately 20 to 30 meters above the tree line. We can't tell how wide it is," the soldier's description could be heard through the ship's control room.

Admiral Stenz was alarmed, but remained stoic. He turned back to Dr. Serizawa.

"Cat's out of the bag, doctor. No more secrets. Our highest priority now is safety. There's close to a million people on that island."

Dr. Seriawa remained silent. He lowered his head, not out of shame but of thought. With the MUTO's reappearance mulling over in his head, the seasoned researcher could only think of when Godzilla was going to arrive. Admiral Stenz came over to Captain Hampton.

"Get me eyes in the air."

While he was giving out orders to the captain, another one of the naval officers was picking up something on the radar.

"We're picking up something else. Approaching from the Pacific."

That was the piece of news Serizawa was inevitably waiting for. Godzilla was on his way.

"We need to check out that object," Stenz said. "General quarters."

Dr. Serizawa hurried out the door with Dr. Graham following after him. Captain Hampton picked up a phone to contact the bridge.

"Bridge, this is the captain..."

Dr. Serizawa hurried through the tight corridors. He was carrying a jacket and a pair of binoculars.

"Where you going?" Dr. Graham asked.

"Up to the flight deck," the older scientist said. "I think he is coming."

"What are you doing?" Graham asked, sounding more concerned.

"I have to see this." Serizawa motioned her to stay put.

On the flight deck, fighter jets scrambled into the air. They zoomed toward the location of the MUTO for interception and likely extermination.

Along the shores of the Hawaiian beaches, people were leisurely enjoying themselves as the setting sun cooled the fresh tropical air. Some of them were ending their day with a relaxing visit to the surf bar and grill sitting not far from the shore. However, the site of military helicopter flying overhead, stained the atmosphere with confusion. Some of the people got up from their chairs as the watched the choppers hover over several buildings.

SWAT teams fast-roped from the copters, landing on the building roofs. They quickly and expertly armed their guns and got into position. The team of specialized officers remained still, pointing there guns to the mountains where the MUTO approximately was.

Meanwhile, the airport rail link train chugged along the bridged line. Pinkie was currently having fun with Akio, playing around with the boy's hands.

"Are we there yet?" Rainbow groaned.

"Considerin' we haven't stopped, Dash, I'd say no, we haven't," Applejack answered flatly.

"Ugh, this is so boringggg!"

"You can play with me and Akio," Pinkie joyfully suggested.

"With what? There's nothing to have fun with," Rainbow whined.

"Maybe to you," the party mare went back to waving her hooves with Akio's hands. "Bloop, bloop, bloop..."

"So, would thank Godzilla our ally?" Twilight quietly said to herself. "I mean, worst case scenario, we are needed to help take down the MUTO, would he help us? Or would he see us as enemies as well?"

"I-I...I would rather not think about that," Fluttershy hid behind her mane.

"Oh, sorry, Fluttershy, I didn't know you could hear me."

"If you ask me, I think he wouldn't care," Spike said.

"That's...pretty bold," Twilight reproached.

"Well, think about it, Twilight. These creatures we're dealing with are gigantic. It's like us with flies, we see them as a nuisance and not a threat."

Both the alicorn and pegasus shared quizzical looks. Spike did raise a decent point. Compared to the MUTO and Godzilla, the Equestrians were tiny, almost unnoticeably so. In nature the large creatures usually ignore the tiniest animals, and it would likely hold up with the likes of the creatures they've seen today.

"Hmm, biologically speaking, you're kind off onto something, Spike," Twilight said. "But would it still be wise to be around if they were to...fight? That would be pretty dangerous."

"uh...moral support," Spike shrugged with a innocuous smile.

This lead Twilight to giggle.

"Um, there's something else I think you should know," Fluttershy said.

"What is it, Fluttershy?" the young princess asked.

"W-well, I...I was too scared to say anything on the ship, but..."

The wavering pegasus was suddenly interrupted when several fighter jets zoomed past the train. It caught all the attention from the passengers as they watched the jets roar past.

"Woah!" Akio and Pinkie said in amazement.

"What in the? What's going on?" Rarity asked.

"And what'n tarnation are those things?" Applejack added. "Ah remember seein' 'em back on the boat, but I have no clue what they are."

"They're fighter jets. Aircraft designed for battle," Ford explained.

"B-Battle!" Fluttershy exclaimed.

"Your society has an over-the-top answer for everything, huh?" Spike said in bemusement.

"Oh, yeah," Twilight's eyes lit up. "You told us about meeting a couple them with Dusty back then. Didn't you, Rainbow?"

The cyan pegasus had to think for a quick second for the memories to come to the forefront of her mind.

"Yeah, yeah! I think their names were Bravo and Echo."

"Okay, present talk here. Why are they flying around if they're made to fight?" Rarity asked more critically.

Ford's face expressed a mixture of confusion, anxiety, and worry. Those jets were deployed out here for a reason and it wasn't a positive one.

"I don't know. But I have a bad feeling about this."

The battalion of fighter jets raced to the location of the MUTO. Their mission; take down the the giant beasts before it can reach the city.

"Two Charlie Six, we are circling the target," one of the pilots said. "Go on your command."

His eyes narrowed on the raging creatures, the choppers' lights illuminating it's dark silver body against the mountains of green.

"Stand by, got a visual. Bogey at my 12."

The jets zoomed past the location point. The MUTO snarled threateningly before chomping down on another torpedo. More fighter jets whizzed overhead, provoking the MUTO even more. It dropped the torpedo, sending the decommissioned weapon falling to the ground. The soldiers on the ground braced as the missile smashed into the dirt.

"Be advised. Prepare to engage target," another one of the fighter pilots said.

"We're getting movement down here," one of the soldiers on the ground warned.

The MUTO raised it's right front leg into the air. It glowed an ominous orange. It let out a enraged shriek, which was all the telling to the soldiers that the MUTO was about to attack.

"Take cover!"

The MUTO slammed it's spiked leg to the ground. The search team were knocked off their feet from the impact. An electromagnetic shockwave rattled throughout the entire area. One pilot's fighter jet was hit point blank. The machine immediately died and began to plummet to the ground.

"Control I have no power!" the pilot yelled. "I say again, I've lost all-"

The jet sliced through the tree tops and smashed into the forest floor, creating a brutal explosion and lighting up the compromised area. Several soldiers were knocked back several feet. But, the chaos didn't end there. The electromagnetic pulse traveled throughout the island, killing all electrical devices for miles. Cars died, lights went dark and the airport rail link came to a jolting halt, catching all the passengers off guard.

"What the hay?" Twilight said, startled. "What the heck was that?"

"There train's stopped," Fluttershy said quietly.

"You all right?" Ford held Akio securely.

Akio didn't give a response. He looked down the front of the front, confused to what was going on.

"Hey, why did the train stop?" Rainbow asked. "We've got places to be."

"It's probably just an electric malfunction." Ford assured. "You give it 10 seconds, lights gonna come back on."

Akio turned back to him, still a bit unnerved. The young soldier held the boy's hand to keep him calm.

"It's okay."

"I don't mean to be pessimistic, but is it normal here for a city's lights to just go dead like this?" Rarity pointed to the darkened city.

Not a single bit of the light came from any of the buildings. Seemed like the entire power grid was shot. Ford took notice. Of he wasn't already on edge from the dead train, he sure was now.

"Something's wrong. Very wrong."

"Ya'll don't suppose them MUTO is the cause of all this," Applejack hinted, slightly unedge, herself.

"Dr. Serizawa said the MUTO let out electromagnetic pulses, which kills all electrical devices," Twilight recalled. "I think it's safe to say that, yes, this is the MUTO's doing."

"But, that means it's here on this island," Spike said fearfully.

Rainbow immediately took to searching for it. She scanned her eyes through the train's windows to try and spot it.

"Where is it? It's bound to be around her somewhere."

"Let's not cause an unnecessary panic in here, please, Rainbow," Ford said. "I suggest we just sit here and wait for the train to start up again. It's not like we're going to be here for long."

The stalwart pegasus let out a conceding huff and flopped back down on her seat.

"Fine, but I don't have to like it."

"We wouldn't expect you too, Dash," Twilight said.

"Don't worry, Dashie. You can still play with me and Akio," Pinkie grinned excitedly.

"Pass," the prismatic mare said.

The tropical beaches were lined with confused and concern bystanders. From their point of view, they could see the mushroom cloud from the jet crash rise above the hilly slopes. Within the dozens of people, a young girl's attention was turned back to the shore. The girl in question wore a yellow shirt, jeans, and with a lei around her neck. She removed herself from her mother's grasp and curiously stepped closer to the ocean. The tide was rapidly receding, so much so that hundreds of fish now lay hapless on the newly exposed seabed.

"Dad!" the girl called out.

A man in a bright blue shirt and lei turned to see her daughter standing away from the crowd.

"Zoe?" he quickly jogged over to her. "Zoe!"

The father hoisted her daughter up. That's when he too noticed the ocean tides retreating farther and farther away.

"Oh, my god."

He knew what a receding tide indicated. Weather sirens started going off, warning everyone of the impending tsunami.

"Run. Run! Tsunami! Tsunami!" the father cried out, running with the crowd as the frantically vacated the premises.

Up above, more military helicopters were heading toward the ocean.

"Bravo, Bravo. Target spotted offshore two knots due east of your position," one the pilots radioed to the Saratoga. "Could be a second bogey."

Dr. Serizawa had made it up to the main deck of ship. One hand firmly grasping his jacket and the other holding a pair of binoculars. All the was going on was soldiers yelling and more helicopters taking off from the deck. But, then the doctor spotted something in the distance. He looked through his binoculars to see a chopper shining a light down on something in the water. Large, black spikes protruded from the surface and they were moving toward the ships. The water swashed and bubbled as everyone aboard the Saratoga stopped and watched the spectacle. Dr. Serizawa lowered his binoculars, a horrified expression on his face.

"Gojira."

The giant creature wasn't slower down and it was heading toward the massive carrier. The personnel crouched and braced, expect Godzilla to crash into the ship, but massive beast dove down at the last second, swimming underneath the ship. The searchlights pierced through the water, highlighting Godzilla's reptilian body as he slicked through the frigid depths.

The ship's personnel, along with Dr. Serizawa, raced to the other side of the aircraft carrier just in time to see Godizlla resurface. The watched in disbelief as the lizard-like beast breached through the surface, casting aside several military ships like they were toys in a bathtub.

Back on the Hawaiian island, the shores had been completely deserted save for one occupant. A dog leashed to a tree was barking and whining as the raging wave of water rushed from the shore. The dog barked to try to scare the tsunami away, but this obviously didn't do anything. As the unstoppable wave mowed down chairs and beach umbrellas, the abandoned pooch made a break for it. Luckily the cheap leash easily snapped free of the tree. The dog raced down the streets and quickly caught up from the panicking mob of people. The monstrous wave was quickly catching up to them.

The young girl from earlier was being carried by her father as he and his wife ran for their lives. She could see the tower of water getting closer, taking down everything in it's path. People stuck in there cars could only watch and brace as the tsunami smashed into their vehicles. The family of three quickly made it inside a coffee shop. Just as the glass door closed shut, the raging torrent rushed passed. The family raced to the back of the shop. The reinforced glass began to creak and crack under the insane weight. Most people were not so lucky, however, as they were swept up in the water.

The few that managed to escape onto the tops of buildings watched the streets were bathed in the freezing seawater. Cars, trees, and telephone poles were swept away and disappeared within the frothing waves. The people were aghast of the tsunami's destruction, and as the last of the remaining building lights went out, the soldiers that were posted on the rooftops shot off flares. The immediate area was alit with an ominous red. It also illuminated the giant, reptilian creature that lumbered through the flooded streets. The citizen's astonished attention was now glued directly on Godzilla as he stepped past the buildings, not seeming to care of the dozens of eyes watching him.

Suddenly, gunfire. Citizens ducked down as SWAT members rained a bullet hell on the lumbering beast. However, the bullet only bounced off Godzilla's armored skin. The assault rifles might of well have been airsoft guns. The SWAT members stopped shooting, quickly realizing the meaningless affect of their weapons. They could only watch was Godzilla carved a path through the streets, tearing down chunks of buildings in search of his prey.

Meanwhile, back at the beach submarines, the search team on the ground were surveying the destruction and injuries from the subsequent MUTO attack. The MUTO in question seemed to have disappeared during the chaos.

"Anybody hurt?" the sergeant radioed to the team. "Anyone get an eyeball on the bogey?"

"Where is he?" one of the party members asked.

No one seemed to have an answer. Nobody saw where the MUTO went. That was until they here the faint snarling coming from way behind them. The group turned. One of the soldiers took of his gas mask and walked over to the edge of the hillside. From their vantage point, they could see the city's electric system turn back on. The buildings' lights flicked back to life like the sun's sweeping light. That included the airport rail link. The train's lights turned back on, much to the relief of the passengers.

"Finally!" Rainbow said, glad that they were finally getting going. "We've had enough inconveniences for one day."

"All say. It was starting for feel surreal in here," Twilight said.

"And humid. It's ruining my mane!" Rarity haplessly stroke her brilliant, violet mane, which was starting to frizzle.

"There you go," Ford said to Akio. "What did I tell you?"

"So, maybe it wasn't the MUTO after all?" Twilight asked conclusively.

"Well, the power turning back on doesn't really prove or disprove anything. But, I doubt we'll have to worry about them anyways."

Akio watched as the lights on the bridge lit back up, illuminating the railed path to the airport gate. The lights also lit up the MUTO's hulking frame as it stalked along the bridge. It let out a roar, causing everybody to panic.

"You were sayin'!" Applejack exclaimed fearfully.

"Gah! Why is that beast here?!" Rarity shrieked.

"It's gonna eat us!" Pinkie cried out.

Suddenly the train lurched forward, heading toward the agitated MUTO.

"No, no, no, no, no!" Twilight held her head in horror. "Tell the conductor to turn the train around."

"There is no conductor! The train's completely automated!" Ford exclaimed.

The other passengers began screaming and crying as the train closed in on the MUTO. Ford stood up upon seeing the massive creature. He held Akio close.

"What do we do!?" Spike asked, panicking like he never had before.

"Somepony open one of the windows" Twilight ordered, a magenta glow emanating from her horn. "I'll try to distract it."

"You can't be serious, Twilight!" Rarity gaped. "Taking on that thing by yourself?"

"I have to do something!" the alicorn argued.

But before Twilight could even think of a way to break through the train window, gunfire rained down from high above.

"Get down!" Ford forced Akio to the ground, shielding him.

"Eep!" Fluttershy squealed and practically flattened herself to the floor.

The others did the same, ducking to avoid potential friendly-fire. Attack helicopters swooped in from right to intercept the parasitic monster. Bullets pummeled the MUTO's body. It let out an agitated growl before setting it's sights on the on-coming train.

"Where's the brakes to this thing?" Rainbow searched for any kind of lever or button that signified a braking system.

All Ford could see was the gaping maw from the train's front window. Akio let out a scream, causing the young soldier to take action.

"Let's go! Twilight, everybody, get down!"

The Mane 6 and Spike acted with question and braced against the floor. Ford barricaded Akio against the seats and used his body as a shield. The sound of shattering glass and crumbling concrete filled the panic-stricken air. The train car leaned down causing some of the passengers to slip and fall to the pile of rubble now sitting on the tarmac. The MUTO had torn open the train car which was now teetering over the edge of the broken bridge. Ford was able to grab onto a row of seats to keep from falling.

"It's okay! We have you!" Twilight managed to nab a young woman in her magic, keeping her from falling.

"Please wake up! Let's just be a nightmare!" Rarity lightly bashed her hooves against her head.

"That we be to good to be true," Rainbow said, holding the unicorn's tail.

"Please remember to stay clear of the automatic doors," The PA said in a robotic tone.

"That's not helping!"

Akio was unable to hold on to anything and began sliding to the gaping hole at the end of the busted train.

"Akio!" Fluttershy wailed.

Ford, however, was to grab the young, Japanese boy from falling. The horrified pegasus breathed a quicky sigh of relief, which was quickly snuffed out when the train lurched further over the edge.

"If this train continues to lean, it'll go over entirely!" Ford warned.

Twilight, thinking on her hooves, came up with a plan.

"Rainbow, come with me!"

The young princess zipped through the opening.

"On it!" Rainbow quickly followed, a streak of rainbow colors trailing behind.

"Twilight! Rainbow! Where are ya going!?" Applejack called out, but received no reply.

Once outside, the alicorn princess iterated her plan to Rainbow.

"We need to get this train back on the tracks. We'll try to push back on from the bottom," she pointed to the undercarriage.

"Woah, hold on, Twi," Rainbow said. "I know I'm a very capable pony, but I don't think we'd be able to push an entire train back."

"We have to try!" Twilight exclaimed urgently. " Even if we can't get it back on the track, we have to keep it from falling off the bridge. If we don't, everypony inside is a goner!"

The purple alicorn pointed to the smoldering pull of steel and concrete where one train car sat, twister and broken. Rainbow quickly got the message and steeled herself.

"All right, let's save these ponies and humans. And dragon, too."

Twilight and Rainbow zipped underneath the teetering railcar. They pressed their hooves against the undercarriage. Together, the alicorn and pegasus heaved with all their might to keep the train from going over.

"Put you back into it!" Twilight yelled.

"I'm trying!" Rainbow answered back sharply.

The two ponies were being pushed beyond their limits to keep the train and everybody inside safe. On the tarmac, ground control had gone into complete panic. Airport workers run and dove underneath parked airplanes to hide from the aggrevated MUTO.

"Go, go, go!" one of the workers yelled, ushering the entire team to take cover.

The monster roared and stomped around the open flight line. To make matters worse, seawater came flooding in. Not on a tsunamic level, but it wasn't something ground personnel needed nor wanted. The one saving grace were the attack helicopter circling the MUTO's path.

"Target in sight--two o-clock, 300 meters," one of the pilots said through the radio.

"We're on 6-X-01. Target confirmed," the co-pilot added.

They fired more rounds at the MUTO. The MUTO, however did not seem all that effected. Without warning, a large column of black spikes rose in-front of the chopper's path. The pilots violently swung the aircraft left to avoid collision.

"Jesus!"

They swung back toward the MUTO, but they had flown too close. Now they were on a collision course for the MUTO itself. The two pilots tried to avoid it, but it was too little, too late. The giant, silver beast let out a defiant roar and bashed it's right wing into the helicopter. It burst into flames and spun out of control toward the ground. The flaming chopper smashed into a parked commercial jet, leading to a massive explosion. People inside the terminal began screaming and panic as they watched the white-hot mushroom cloud consume the massive plane. Fiery debris flew everywhere, chain-reacting into another parked aircraft, which also burst into flames. And then a third plane exploded, it was utter pandemonium.

That's when a gigantic, reptilian foot stomped onto the tarmac. Everyone in the terminal went dead silent, stun and horrified by what they were seeing. Twilight and Rainbow, who were stilling holding the train, couldn't believe what they were seeing. Everyone in the train couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Oh...my...gosh," Rarity said, barely even able to say the words.

Spike let out a horrified squeak and ducked underneath the blanching unicorn. Pinkie just had her mouth wide open, maybe emotions whirled around in her head. Applejack stood completely stunned.

"He's even bigger than ah thought," she muttered fearfully.

Fluttershy hugged the apple farmer pony like she was her stuffed animal. Once again, it was like her nightmare was coming to reality. But, seeing him in real life, Fluttershy wished it was all a nightmare.

"No," she began to cry.

The MUTO let out another might roar and flared out it's wings, as if to tell the creature approaching it to back off. The monstrous, black, lizard-like creature didn't back down. It glared at the MUTO with the fury of a thousand judges.

Rainbow was finally able to find her voice to ask one, simply question.

"Twilight...is that..."

The last word died in her throat, too overcome with astonishment and dread.

Twilight gulped, sweat racing down her face like a river. In a quiet, barely audible tone said...

"It's Godzilla."

Sam was lazily laying on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, military and dinosaur toys on the coffee, watching the evening news on the TV. Okay, well that last part doesn't sound in-line for a young boy, but Sam was entranced of the even broadcast solely for the fact that they were airing live footage of Godzilla fighting the MUTO. All the while, reporters and witnesses going over the current chaos ensuing on the tropical island.

"Sam, please turn that TV off," Elle came into the kitchen area and through down a couple articles of clothing onto the counter.

Her son didn't give a response, instead keeping his eyes firmly staring at the TV screen. She let out a sigh as she grabbed a nearby cup and filled it with water.

"Hey, did you hear me?"

Sam just sat upright. Whether she couldn't hear his mom or flat out chose to ignore her, it was hard to tell. Elle wasn't having any of it, either way.

"Off," she said more sternly.

Again, nothing. Sam watched as the TV showed the MUTO take to the sky and flee of over the ocean with Godzilla in pursuit.

"Come on, Sammy. Let's go," the young nurse, with Sam's clothing in-hand saunter toward his bedroom. "Let's go. It's bedtime."

She turned back around to Sammy who was still on the couch. "Sammy."

"Mommy, look," the young boy pointed to the TV. "Dinosaurs."

Elle dismissively looked at the TV for barely a second, before looking back at her soon. If she didn't know any better, she thought she saw a giant, prehistoric-looking creature on the news. Elle did a mental double-take and looked back at the screen. Sure enough, there it was, Godzilla taking to the seas to chase after the MUTO. Of course, she herself didn't know what the creatures were exactly, just that the chaos occurred in Hawaii.

Dread formed in the pit of her stomach. Not too long ago she got a message from Ford explaining that was heading to Hawaii to catch a flight. The horror hidden in her expression was indescribable. Was her husband okay? Was he even alive? Are the ponies still with him? Those questions only fueled her anxiety and dread. Combined with the fact that giant, destructive animals were now roaming the earth, she couldn't fathom a reality even if she wanted to. But, here it was, and Elle and her son were bystanders of such a terrifying reality. Worse of all Ford and the ponies could possible be victims, dead or alive.

"Oh, Ford," she held to doorframe to keep from collapsing and having a meltdown.

Things have gone from bad to worse to even worse for everyone involved: Ford, Elle, the Mane 7, Dr. Serizawa, everyone. However, this hell was far from over and the real danger was only just beginning.

To be continued
