It was very late at night. The stars that were shinning in the sky earlier had once again been covered by a group of clouds, these ones even bigger and even darker than the last ones. There was even a quick flash from a bolt of lightning, soon followed by the clap of thunder. Could it start to rain? Would more thunder and lightning start? Whatever the answers were, they mattered not to the mighty beast that was Godzilla.

The weather was not a big factor in the King of the Monster's life. If he saw a hurricane coming, he would walk through like it was a summer breeze. The thunder and lightning was only but flashes in the sky and irritating noises. While Godzilla preferred the beauty of the stars in the sky, it didn't matter to them if there were clouds blocking them out. Rain, no matter how hard it poured, was just more water to him.

So, he walked on, not caring about the weather one way or the other. He just lumbered on through the depths of the Everfree Forest. Where was he going exactly? He was following the direction he saw Fluttershy fly off to earlier that night. He knew he shouldn't be though, especially since Fluttershy asked him to stay put in his clearing, to which he agreed. So then, why did he follow anyway?

Could it be the memories of when he was all alone that made him go after her? Was it his curiosity of possibly getting to see Fluttershy's home and also see other ponies like her? Or did he simply not want to be confined to one spot? It was probably one of the other two, because if it were just the last one, Godzilla could've gone in another direction. But he chose to follow in Fluttershy's path.

So, here Godzilla was, slowly stomping towards the edge of the forest. Trees, their branches, and fallen logs all strand, snapped, and crunched either from being caught under his foot or being pushed aside by the enormous girth of his body or from his dragging tail. However, the biggest of the trees were only pushed aside as Godzilla past by. Those trees then swung back into place once he moved on.

Godzilla noticed that the trees were getting increasingly smaller as he walked on. This told him that he was getting closer the forest's edge and possibly to Fluttershy's home. But was it too close? These much smaller trees wouldn't be able to hide Godzilla even if he crouched down. That meant a pony or more would see Godzilla before Fluttershy had a chance to properly introduce him to them. Godzilla stopped and thought this possibility over. He lowered his head as he thought hard about it.

Godzilla lifted his head back up a sort time later and looked toward the direction he assumed Fluttershy's home was in. If someone were around, they'd plainly see his look of disappointment, uncertainty, and even sadness. Godzilla knew that he couldn't go to where Fluttershy was. He couldn't even get close to it. Nopony would be excepting of Godzilla, not after what those other kaiju that came before him did. But besides that, he was still a giant monster. His size and overall physical appearance would deter the cute, little ponies with fear and dread.

So, with great reluctance, the mighty, yet slightly tearful, Godzilla began to turn away from the path he had been taking. He turned back to the way he came from. Godzilla only took one earth shaking step before he looked back the other way. Godzilla knew Fluttershy and the rest of her kind were that way. He could feel them now. He felt their presence deep in his very being, but this didn't change his mind about walking away. It only served to sadden Godzilla more that so many potential friends were so close, yet he could not have true friendship with them because of how different he and they were.

And so, Godzilla began to walk away. He lumbered back through the crowded land of forest, knocking things over, pushing them aside and out of their place, and crushing other things under foot and tail. Thankfully for Godzilla, it wasn't anything living. Pretty much everything that was alive and breathing had left this side of the Everfree Forest when Godzilla arrived, save for a few stragglers.

Most who study kaiju assume they pay about as much mine to us as we do to insects. That is true, but not all people, or in this world, ponies, reacted the same way to insects. While most don't care either way, some go out of their way to squash bugs for some sick reason or another. Others tried to care for insects and make sure they aren't doing anything to harm them. Godzilla was a kaiju with a mentality of similar nature to the latter description. So, he would not harm any small creatures if he could help it.

While Godzilla was thankful that he wasn't hurting anyone, the fact that he was basically the only living thing on this side of the Everfree Forest only served to remind him that he was alone. While he was thankful for Fluttershy, it still didn't feel like enough. He spent so many years alone and to have someone who could only be a friend for a few hours every night? He knew it was only two nights so far, but Godzilla already didn't like this setup.

He knew he was being selfish, but Godzilla couldn't help himself. When Fluttershy was there, everything was fine, the troubles of the world seem to go away, and Godzilla was happy, cherishing the time he has with his friend. But when she was gone, the world felt like a dark, empty void, the same one Godzilla's lived in for years.

Godzilla felt like he wanted to scream out in frustration, but he restrained himself. He knew it would attract unneeded attention. But like a spoiled, or in this case, ignored and abused child, Godzilla felt like he wanted attention no matter what. Godzilla carried this feeling all the way back to his clearing. But he didn't stop there. Godzilla didn't feel like staying in his pen for the night. So, Godzilla walked on deeper into the Everfree Forest, with only his self pity and sorrow to keep him company.

He didn't know how far he had gone when it started, but Godzilla finally took a moment to notice that the trees around him were getting even bigger as he walked on. They got so big that their branches just about reached his chest. Because of this, Godzilla was finding it more difficult to walk without breaking something. They were only trees, but they served as another reminder for why Godzilla couldn't do the things friends usually do with each other, especially with Fluttershy. He was too big. But now, he didn't have time to think about that.

Godzilla's head snapped back and his eyes widened when his animal senses told him something was coming his way. What surprised him more was how big it was. While not as big as he, it was still bigger than any other animal Godzilla had seen in this world so far. It felt like...another kaiju! More surprise befell Godzilla. How could there be another kaiju in Equestria? Fluttershy had told him that the kaiju that were there before him were long gone.

Godzilla thought the question over in his mind and tried to think of an explanation. Could it be this was a kaiju new to the land like Godzilla himself and Fluttershy simply didn't know about it? Godzilla took this possibility into careful consideration. But then Godzilla was frozen cold in place when another possibility entered his mind. It was whether or not Fluttershy had lied to Godzilla. Did she intentionally mislead Godzilla so he wouldn't know that other kaiju still lived in Equestria?

Godzilla didn't want to believe this. He tried to tell himself it wasn't true; that it wasn't even possible. Fluttershy was his friend. She extended her friendship willingly and even fed him and sang him to sleep like a pet or newborn foal. Why would she lie to him about there being other kaiju? Could it be that she didn't really trust him? Did Fluttershy think that Godzilla would end up being as bad as those other monsters she described to him?

Godzilla did his best to force the thought out of his head. He didn't want to believe it. He didn't want to believe it at all. But he couldn't get it out of his head. The thought seemed to be coming in the loudest. It seemed most likely that Fluttershy had lied to Godzilla. As this sunk into the massive kaiju, his head hung low as he sighed upsettingly. But when he looked back up, his sadness and disappointment was replaced with a angry scowl, the likes of which would bring nightmares to even the bravest of ponies.

Nobody had ever tried to deceive Godzilla before and now feeling it for the first time; Godzilla hated the feeling. It was especially bad since it was done by someone he thought was his friend. Was Fluttershy still Godzilla's friend? He didn't know and right now he didn't care. He was angry. He was furious. He was fighting mad. And he knew a certain incoming kaiju he was gonna take it out on.

That kaiju was heading straight for Godzilla and he wasn't even going try to reason with it. The last two he tried to make peace with attacked him. He wasn't naive enough to let that happen again. Heck, he wasn't naive anymore. Godzilla knew what the majority of kaiju were like, so he would never try to approach them peacefully again. If they approached him nicely, that may be another story, but he has been hurt and lied to too many times both by kaiju and ponies alike.

Still scowling and battle ready, Godzilla tried to focus his limited ESP to track down the exact location of the kaiju and find how far away it was. He didn't really understand what extra sensory perception was and because of this, he didn't quite know how to use it or what the maximum amount of uses were for it. But from what he was able to get out of it, he was able to tell which way the kaiju was coming from, but he couldn't tell how far away it was. So, Godzilla tried sniffing the air to see if the kaiju was close enough to pick up its scent; which it was not.

He tried listening for the other kaiju. One thing most did not know was that kaiju have extra sensitive hearing like that of a dog, but a hundred times better. Godzilla could hear everything within a mile of him. Because he was actually trying to listen for the other kaiju, he instantly picked up the sound of what seemed to be wings flapping. Godzilla assumed this to be the kaiju since it was much louder than the wings of a bird or other smaller creatures.

Picking up the sound, Godzilla let out a loud growl, indicating he was ready to fight anyone or anything that came his way. Godzilla's scowl grew harder as he looked up and waited to spot the incoming kaiju. Godzilla's growls grew in volume when he spotted his target. It was high up in the sky, about two thousand feet high, and still very far away. But it was coming in his direction at tremendous speed. Godzilla also saw that as it got closer, the kaiju was also lowering its altitude. Godzilla wondered if it was aiming at him.

This possibility and spotting the kaiju alone made Godzilla's eyes glower more intensely. Something was awakening in Godzilla that he had not felt since he was a lot younger. Not since he fought the super kaiju from his world called, Destroyah. It was a warrior's spirit of some sort and Godzilla was embracing it with great enthusiasm. He wanted nothing more than to fight this kaiju and let all his anger out on it.

Godzilla readied himself as the promise of battle drew nearer and nearer. The kaiju moved towards him incredibly fast, dropping out of the sky just as fast. It wasn't long before Godzilla could make out exactly what the kaiju looked like. He had seen several creatures like it that were smaller, but this was the first he saw that could be considered a giant. He didn't know it, but this kaiju was actually the bat monster known as Screech, who attacked Fluttershy's hometown only yesterday. Now it appeared that it was coming back for more.

However, Godzilla was intent to make sure before the giant bat did anything, it got past him first. Godzilla's breaths got heavier as his body got more and more pumped for the battle it was about to endure. But then, Godzilla's growls were interrupted and his battle hunger replaced with disbelief when Screech didn't even come close to flying towards him. It wasn't low enough to do so. It was about two hundred feet high enough to fly over Godzilla's head and go onward. Godzilla turned around and watched as Screech lowered herself more until she was just a few feet above the trees of the Everfree Forest.

Godzilla couldn't believe what had just happened. The shock was clear on his face and in his body language. This kaiju just flew over his head and went on its way, acting as if Godzilla wasn't even there. Godzilla's anger was reaching an all time high. He had never been this mad in his entire life. It was as if his blood was boiling or steam was going to come out of his nostrils. In fact, it almost looked like it did as Godzilla snorted like a bull ready to charge.

But then Godzilla's anger was instantly replaced with concern and alarm. This was because he realized that Screech was heading towards Fluttershy. This meant she could be hurt and so could her friends, her family, and everypony else around her. It was at that moment that Godzilla decided that Fluttershy was still his friend. If she ever really wanted to be that is. Even if she didn't, it was still wrong to Godzilla that a creature as big as a kaiju would want to harm a being so much smaller. And Godzilla could tell that this kaiju had bad intentions on its mind. Godzilla took it upon himself then and there to make sure Screech did no harm.

Godzilla stood up straight, pulled his head back, and opened his maw as he felt flames begin to build and started churning in the back of his throat. It wasn't long before a ball of purple flames fired out of Godzilla's mouth and flew at jet fast speed towards Screech. Unfortunately, it just so happened that at that exact same time, Screech angled her body in a way where the purple fireball flew past the bottom of her right wing.

Screech let out a shriek of surprise as she watched the oddly colored fireball fly past her and drop towards the ground. The resulting collision sent up an explosion of fire, burning tree parts and torn up land. Godzilla let out a loud battle roar, challenging the giant bat called. Screech responded to this stranger's challenge with an accepting shriek as she changed her flight path. She turned off to the right in a very wide loop.

The way Screech was flying, she probably would've ended up crashing into Godzilla's side. However, Godzilla was following her flight path with his eyes the entire time. As she looped around, Godzilla turned his body to match her. Now Screech was flying right at him. Godzilla roared out before firing a purple fireball. Screech dodged to the side, managing to avoid the fireball and continued her flight path. Godzilla prepared himself to receive the incoming flying beast. Screech shrieked as she pulled her wings back and shifted her body around so her talons were aimed for Godzilla's face.

The Kaiju King ducked his upper body down, letting the bat out of Tartarus fly over him. When Godzilla felt the breeze of Screech flying overhead pass by, he stood up straight and turned around. He spotted Screech still flying away from him, screeching out all the way. Godzilla fired another orb of fire. But this one, much to Godzilla's shock, was blue. Was his power somehow improving? It didn't matter much since the fireball undershot Screech and collided with the ground instead, sending up an explosion as a result.

Screech turned herself around so that she was now facing Godzilla. The Atomic Saurian took a stomp forward as he let out a roar, while Screech let out a shriek at the same time. Godzilla began to walk up to Screech, but she wouldn't let him try without giving him trouble first. She reached her talons down at the ground and grabbed a hold of a giant boulder, which Screech then tossed at Godzilla with amazing force. Godzilla tried to ready himself for the boulder, but it ended up smacking into his face and rolling off the front of his chest to the ground.

Godzilla roared out in anger, while Screech cackled in delight. Godzilla picked the boulder up and tossed it right back at Screech. The giant bat fared far better than her adversary though. She reached out her talons and dug them through the boulder, biting down on it as well. The result was her smashing and biting the boulder to bits. Godzilla stared a little wide eyed at his foe's raw power. She was only half his size and was still able to do that to a boulder! Godzilla didn't want to admit it, but that amazed him. He was quickly snapped out of it however when Screech shrieked mockingly at him.

Godzilla shook his head around before snorting like a mad bull and then stomping forth. Screech shrieked out in protest as she began to rapidly flap her wings. It didn't take long for the bat's speedy wings to kick up a gust of wind so strong it lifted boulders and other debris off the ground. It even ripped some of the smaller trees out of the ground and sent them flying at Godzilla with the rest of the wind debris. The combined power of the debris smashing into his body and the powerful winds caused by Screech's wings forced Godzilla to stumble back a few steps as he roared out in protest.

Godzilla didn't let this stop him for too long though. He managed to find his footing and brace himself against the wind. Then he fired off a blue fireball from his mouth. This time the projectile hit its target head on. The blue fireball hit Screech in the face, exploding on impact. Godzilla roared in satisfaction. But it was soon replaced by a look of disbelief. Screech's head popped out of the smoke left by the explosion, as her flapping wings blew the smoke away, with no sign of injury or any other sign that the attack worked. She didn't even have a scratch.

Screech bared her fangs as the corners of her mouth pulled back for an intentionally evil looking grin. At that moment, thunder clapped in the sky as lightning flashed and rain began to pour down from the storm clouds above. Both monsters took notice of this added element to their environment, looking up at the falling droplets of water before turning their focus back on the fight. Godzilla started to think about what he should do next. Should he try a fireball again, throwing an object, or simply rushing his opponent?

Before he could figure it out, Godzilla noticed some sort of invisible energy building up in Screech's mouth. He was able to see it only because as the energy gathered in the bat's mouth, it made small waving movements. Before Godzilla did anything else, a wave of super sonic vibrations flew out of Screech's mouth at a speed Godzilla's eyes couldn't hope to spot. The sound of Screech's shrieking rang out of the wave.

Screech's sonic shriek wave hit Godzilla in the chest, making a loud boom that sounded similar to the claps of thunder from the storm going on around the two kaiju. Godzilla was rocked back by the force of the super sonic wave hitting him in the chest, but that wasn't the end of it. What was worst was the sonic vibrations of the beam ripped into Godzilla's hide, which made him roar out in pain.

Screech slowly aimed her sonic shriek upward, making the attack travel up until it was shooting right into Godzilla's face. The sonic beam ripping into his face, plus the ear shattering high pitch of Screech's shrieking made Godzilla cry out a roar of agony. He reached up his hands to his head, but couldn't decide whether to grab at his face or his ears as he stumbled around.

Screech lowered her sonic shriek ray and pointed it at Godzilla's left kneecap. The result was Godzilla feeling immense pain as the super sonic wave tore into his flesh. It even had enough force to take Godzilla's left leg out form under him, making him drop to one knee. Godzilla roared out angrily at his current predicament, making Screech shriek at him mockingly. This may have turned out to be her greatest mistake that night.

Godzilla heard these shrieks; he knew they were meant to mock him. So many times he has been mocked in his life. Mocked for being small and powerless as a kid. Mocked for facing death at the claws of the one who mocked him. Mocked for wanting to be peaceful and friendly by those he was trying to be friendly to. Sometimes it seemed life itself was mocking him. And he was completely, positively, absolutely, one hundred percent tired of it! He would be mocked no more without there being consequences!

Godzilla's eyes glared at Screech in a glare that would probably kill a smaller creature due to how much fear it evoked. At that moment, his warrior spirit, his anger, and even his hatred was at a new all time high for Godzilla. He had enough of life continuously spitting in his face and beating him up, then back down. Godzilla would let all of his frustrations of the world out in someway. And he was gonna aim it all at Screech.

Godzilla's mouth pulled back and opened up to reveal his most viscous snarl. He wanted Screech to feel all the power of his hate and anger. It appeared to work since Screech, who had been mocking Godzilla earlier, was starting to flap her wings to slowly move her backwards. She didn't know it, but it would never be fast enough. What Screech did notice was the maple leaf shaped spikes on her opponent's back were starting to glow bright blue, as was the inside of Godzilla's mouth.

At that moment, a huge bolt of lightning struck Godzilla's back spikes, which seemed to signal the release of a giant beam of glowing blue energy shooting out of his mouth. Screech shrieked out in horror as the energy breath attack came crashing into her left wing. It brought with it, a searing pain that made Screech feel like her wing was being burned apart from the inside out and the outside in both.

When Godzilla ceased firing his rediscovered atomic breath, Screech couldn't move her wing at all, which meant she couldn't fly. She felt like she was gonna fall to the ground, even starting to for a second or two. But she was kept up in the air and propelled backwards by the force of a second atomic breath pounding into her body. Screech went sprawling across the forest land, smashing into several objects in the process.

Godzilla joyously roared out his furry, warning his downed foe he was a force not to be taken lightly. Screech slowly and painfully picked herself up off the ground. Standing on all fours, she looked at her mighty enemy to figure out what her next move should be. Her eyes betrayed fear of the great Godzilla. Indeed, she was now afraid of this monster's atomic breath and what other secret attacks he may have hidden. But her natural kaiju pride wouldn't allow her to retreat; even if it meant death.

Screech snarled as she lifted herself back into the air with her wings. She shrieked at Godzilla, challenging him to continue the fight. For Godzilla, this was no challenge, this was an opportunity. Godzilla raised his head into the air as he let out a loud roar and proceeded to stomp forth at the bat. Screech only had time to brace herself for when Godzilla came crashing into her shoulder first.

And then all Tartarus broke loose, for what came next was Screech scratching her talons at Godzilla and Godzilla slashing his claws at at Screech. The two titans locked in combat also tried burying their fangs into each others flesh, letting out their distinctive sounds whenever their mouths were free. The two monsters slashed, stabbed, snapped, and clawed at each other with viciousness, the likes of which Equestria has never seen before. These two slashers were out for blood. They got it too, leaving blood soaked wounds in each other.

Neither seemed to be able to get an advantage in their toe talon vs. hand claw war. On one hand, Screech's talons were sharper, but on the other hand, Godzilla had far more strength in his swipes, which made for harder blows. In the biting contest, things were pretty much the same. Screech's fangs were sharper and longer, but Godzilla had the edge in the strength department, his jaws feeling like they could crush bone if he got a good enough bite.

So, both monsters continued their assaults. Screech kept scratching her talons up and down Godzilla's body. Meanwhile, Godzilla himself swung his claws across Screech's body, slashing across her chest or raking across other parts of her body. One advantage Godzilla did seem to get was that he was able to use his superior strength and size to shove Screech back as they continued to dig into each other. However, Screech was about to get lucky.

The giant bat shrieked as she propelled herself up higher into the air. Then she reached her right foot forward and raked her talons down the left side of Godzilla's face. The Nuclear Leviathan let out a short high pitched roar as his left eye was poked out by one of Screech's scratching talons. He stumbled backwards as he grabbed at his injured eye. Now free of the clawing match and with some room to fly, Screech took advantage of her opportunity by firing her sonic shriek wave.

The super sonic blast hit Godzilla in the face with the same flesh ripping force as before. The blast rocked Godzilla back so hard that he lost his footing and ended up tripping over something on the ground. The result was him falling back uncontrollably. To add more to Godzilla's predicament, when he did hit the ground, he fell face first into a large rock sticking out of the ground with enough force to smash the it into pieces.

A bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, revealing Godzilla's unmoving form lying on the ground as Screech flew cautiously close by. She examined her enemy's laid out body closely, tilting her head to from side to side as she examined it. But there seemed to be no doubt about it; Godzilla was knocked out from his head hitting that rock so hard. This pleased Screech very much, even to the point where she evilly grin yet again.

She let out a loud shriek for all to hear, but there was nothing from Godzilla. He did not move an inch. He was totally out of it. This was a signal to Screech that there was a window of opportunity. And she was going to take it. Screech began to approach the fallen body of Godzilla, but with extreme caution. As she got closer and closer, Screech's confidence grew inside her and so did his cockiness. Screech cackled wickedly to announce her new found confidence, even though Godzilla couldn't hear it at the moment.

As Screech got closer, she eyed her beaten opponent's neck. A creature this size was bound to be full of blood. The thought made Screech lick all around the outside of her mouth. This fight had made her very thirsty and she was about to quench that thirst. Screech inched her way closer to Godzilla until she was just above his shoulder. Then she began to lower herself down, stretching her mouth toward Godzilla's jugular.

But before Screech could sink her teeth into Godzilla's flesh, a lightning bolt crackled down from the sky and struck the unmoving Monster King's back spikes, lighting them up. Two more bolts of lightning struck down from separate directions, both of them striking the same set of back spikes as the first one, making them glow a bright shade of blue. Unfortunately for Screech, it was after these bolts that Godzilla's eyes shot wide open. He then rolled onto his back and shot his left hand up and wrapped it around Screech's throat as tightly as he could.

Screech tried to cry out in pain, but Godzilla was squeezing to tight as he pulled Screech down towards him so she could see the furious scowl on his face. Seeing it up so close made the giant bat feel very afraid, replacing all her confidence and cockiness from before. Screech was even more terrified when she saw the glow emanating from Godzilla's mouth. She was too late to do anything though as Godzilla opened his mouth and fired his atomic blast at point blank range into Screech's face. The force of the beam sent the bat out of Tartarus flying back against her will. Screech crashed into the ground with an Earth shaking thud.

As Screech was crashing, Godzilla rose up to his feet and let out a loud battle roar. As she tried to get up, Screech heard the sound of Godzilla's footsteps stomping toward her. This made her want to get up off the ground faster. But as she was flying up, she felt herself being knocked back down, as Godzilla rammed the side of his body into Screech's, sending her skidding across the ground. Screech whimpered in pain as she tried to lift herself back up off the ground. Her body trembled as she did so, but Screech refused to let that stop her.

But just as she was beginning to lift up, Screech felt Godzilla's right hand grab her by the throat and lift her up high into the air. Godzilla looked up at her with a hate filled glare as he let out predatory growls. A lightning bolt struck Godzilla's back spikes as he jutted his head forward and bit down on Screech's right ear. The electricity from the bolt traveled from Godzilla's spikes out through his mouth, making his bite electrical and shocking Screech with several thousand volts.

As the bat monster screamed, Godzilla retched his head back, taking Screech's ear in between his jaws as well. Godzilla released his now smoking foe and stepped back before spitting Screech's ear out of his mouth and into her face. Godzilla roared out as he spun around and lifted his tail up before slamming it down on Screech, planting her face first into the ground. Godzilla let out a mighty roar to announce that he wasn't done yet.

Godzilla turned around and examined the fallen kaiju. She was flat on the ground, but there was still a tremor going through her body and she was still heaving in and out heavy breaths. Godzilla quickly noticed when Screech was trying to push herself back up. She never even got an inch before Godzilla's right foot came stomping down on her upper back. Godzilla roared at Screech to let her know she would never get up again.

The Radioactive Dragon then lifted his right foot up and stomped it down on Screech's head two times. Then he pulled his right foot back and then stomped his left foot on the back of Screech's neck. Godzilla roared as he lifted his foot back up and stomped it down where Screech's neck and back met on the body. Godzilla shook his head around like a rabid dog as he roared out again. Then Godzilla pulled his left foot back and swung it forward, kicking Screech in the face with force enough to send her body flying upward.

Screech crashed, back first, into the hard, unforgiving ground, causing another tremor through the land. Screech moaned in agony, but was cut off when Godzilla's left foot came crashing down on her abdomen. The defeated bat looked up at her superior opponent, seeing the same terrifying scowl as before. She tried to beg silently for mercy. But Godzilla had no mercy to give that night.

Godzilla's back spikes lit up in a blue glow, as did his mouth before he released his atomic breath. The beam hit Screech directly in the face, making her scream out one last time. Godzilla took several steps back and aimed his breath attack further down at Screech's chest. He didn't lit up on his attack. He did not stop at all. Godzilla kept his atomic breath going on as it burned into Screech's body. Several seconds went by, possibly a whole minute or two, when it finally happened.

The atomic beam ignited Screech's body, causing a giant explosion that engulfed Screech's body and the immediate area around it. The ground shook like a small earthquake as the loud noise of the explosion filled the air, as did the bright fiery flames that seemed like they came right from Tartarus itself. Eventually, the flames ceased rising and actually slightly subsided as the ground stopped shaking.

While the flames were crackling and the storm slowly began to dissipate, Godzilla examined the body under the flames as best as he could. But he didn't even need the quick glance he got to know that it was over; he had won. Godzilla felt within him a pride he never got from any of his other victories against other kaiju. It became so strong that Godzilla had to let it out in the form of a roar. He did so as he threw his arms back and lifted his head up as a final bolt of lightning crackled to light up the night sky.

After celebrating his victory, Godzilla lowered his head and looked down at the ball of fire that hid Screech's corpse. Then he looked in the direction Fluttershy's home was in. He knew the ponies would come to investigate. His fight with Screech made too much noise for them not too. He would have to hide himself. For now at least, he would.

He would try to keep from being seen until the next time Fluttershy came to see him. Then he was going to demand to know why she lied to him. He wouldn't put their friendship on the line, but he would be strict. Then he was gonna demand to see her other friends and whoever was in charge, so that he may offer his services against other kaiju that he was positive were still in Equestria.

But for now, he would wait. And he would put out the fire. Godzilla looked and realized that the fire he made was massive. He didn't want it to get any bigger and cause a wildfire. Godzilla turned away from the fire, lifted his tail up, and proceeded to slam it down on the fire over and over again in an attempt to beat it out. This proved to be quite effective, the wind gusts from his tail hitting the ground helping to blow the flames away. The fire did not hurt Godzilla nearly as much as it usually would from an explosion of a kaiju's energy projectile.

Godzilla slammed his tail down on the fire several times, only turning to look at his progress three minutes later. He was satisfied to see that he had completely beat the fire out, not a flame left glowing or crackling. Though Godzilla was proud of himself for both beating Screech and putting out the fire, he was now suddenly concerned. That concern was worn clearly on his face.

He was concerned because, although he was proud of his new warrior spirit, he was afraid of how Fluttershy would react it. She was such a sweet, gentle, peaceful, little thing. How would she feel knowing that the kaiju she thought was a big, old teddy bear could throw down the gauntlet in a fight? Would she now fear him? Would she be terrified of him? ...Would she reject him? The very thought made Godzilla want to shed a tear.

He didn't want to scare away his only friend in the world. Even though she lied to him, Godzilla still cared a great deal for Fluttershy. And he knew Fluttershy truly cared for him too. Godzilla didn't want that to go away. And besides that, how would the other ponies of Equestria take to him? Would they also end up fearing him no matter what? Godzilla thought long and hard about it until he made a decision.

He would found out by facing Fluttershy and the other ponies no matter his hesitation. He would not let fear control him. He was a titan of battle now; an Alpha Predator. So, he would face tomorrow and face whatever the result may end up being. But until then, as Godzilla looked to the burned body of what used to be Screech, at least he knew what he would be eating the next few nights.

ELSEWHERE DURING THE BATTLE:

Sweet Apple Acres was drenched by the rains of the unforeseen storm. The long and wide fields of apple trees, the pig sty, chicken coop, dog house, and the barn they all surrounded were being pounded mercilessly by the hard hitting drops of water produced by the clouds above. It seemed like nothing was safe from the storm, as was shown when a bolt of lightning lit up the sky. The house that homed the Apple family, and currently , their guest, was also on the receiving end of the rain drops' assault.

The rain particularly affected the sleep of the few refugees that strayed behind on the farm. Those in the barn fared a little better, but the ones that had been sleeping in tents weren't so lucky. That was, until Big McIntosh came out to assist them. Applejack had offered to help, but Big Mac refused and told her just to get a good night sleep, while he led the refugees inside, where they slept wherever they could. The loud noises of the storm were still a problem though.

The noises also affected the other occupants inside. While they were safe from getting wet, the sounds of the rain drops smacking so hard into the house's exterior was beginning to disturb their sleep. Ordinarily, this particular set of ponies were not so easily stirred by rain drops. But this wasn't a pony made storm. This was one of the several examples of nature gone wild since the kaiju had arrived in Equestria.

Because of this, the rain drops hit harder and began to slightly stir the poor Apples and their guests in their sleep. The ponies who had it the worst were none other than the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who were all sharing a bed together in Applebloom's room. What made it so bad for them was that before the storm ever got started, they were actually feeling uncomfortably hot. So, they ended up opening Applebloom's bedroom window before they went to sleep.

Now they were victims to the sounds of the storm right outside their open window. It was so bad that they started tossing and turning uncomfortably in their bed. One of the fillies in particular, young Scootaloo, was beginning to moan as her eyes shut tighter and tighter. It was as if she were trying to keep herself from waking up as best as she could. But her efforts could only mean that she was half awake at that moment.

She fought and fought to get comfortable and not fully awaken, trying to block out the sounds of the storm. But it wouldn't end up being the storm that stirred Scootaloo awake. What made the little pegasus open her bloodshot eyes was a different set of sounds. Scootaloo, annoyed, but no curious, lifted her head as she looked towards the window. She heard the sounds clearly, but yet they still seemed to be coming from far away.

What was amplifying the sounds so much that they could be heard so clearly from a far distance? Lucky for Scootaloo, she was one of the fillies who got to sleep on the side of the bed; the left side to be exact. So, Scootaloo was able to slip out of bed without disturbing its other two occupants. She did so and lightly trotted over to the window in hopes of getting to hear the extra sounds coming from somewhere far off. She reached the window's edge and lifted an ear to the outside. And then she listened.

She instantly recognized one of the sounds. It was a rumbling sound, like those that would be made from a landslide. Then she recognized the similar sound of two big objects crashing into each other. What's making these noises in the middle of the night? Scootaloo thought to herself. Then she heard even more noises. These caught Scootaloo's attention the most since they sounded like the kind of noises that came from...animals.

Yes, the sounds that came through the clearest for Scootaloo sounded like the calls of wild animals. But if these were animals, they were animals that Scootaloo was unfamiliar with. While Scootaloo thought they sounded like the noises animals would make, she couldn't place them at all. One sounded somewhat familiar, though not enough so that she could put a body and a face to it. The other one however was new. It was a completely new sound.

Scootaloo figured it could be two animals fighting each other, which would explain the other sounds that accompanied them. But if these were animals, why were they making noises that could be heard so clearly over the sounds of the storm? She couldn't see any brawling animals around, though admittedly, it was late at night in the middle of a rain storm. And like before, she knew that the noises were coming from far away.

If it was two animals fighting, they sounded like they were most likely big ones; even bigger than a dragon. It even sounded like they could be bigger than an Ursa Minor or Major. And that's when it hit Scootaloo, making her already wide, bloodshot eyes even wider. All she was able to do was whisper the answer as to what these two, far away, warring beasts could be: "Kaiju."

Sweetie Belle and Applebloom finally awoke from their sleep due to a combination of the cold wind blowing into the room and the sounds that came from the open window. They both had given up the fight for sleep and reluctantly sat up in bed. They stretched out their front legs like a human being would stretch his or her arms as they let out tired yawns. As Sweetie Belle shook her head to get more awake, Applebloom noticed Scootaloo at the window.

"Scootaloo? What are you doing up so late?" asked Applebloom.

"I could ask the same thing about us," said Sweetie Belle.

"Sweetie Belle, look," said Applebloom as she pointed a hoof.

The two fillies looked to Scootaloo, who kept looking out the window and listened for the noises she assumed were battling monsters. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle not knowing this, looked from Scootaloo to each other in confusion and then back to Scootaloo.

"Scootaloo, what are you doing standing so close to the window?" asked Applebloom.

"Yeah, the only thing you should be doing is closing it," said Sweetie Belle.

All Scootaloo could respond with was a simple word.

"Listen."

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle looked on at their friend, with more confusion and now with a small hint of concern, too.

"Listen?" said Sweetie Belle.

"Listen to what?" asked Applebloom.

"Listen out there. Can you hear them?" said Scootaloo.

The little pegasus had captured the curiosity of her Earth pony and unicorn friends, who quickly trotted up to join her. Applebloom came up to Scootaloo's right, while Sweetie Belle came up on her left. They both followed Scootaloo's lead and stuck an ear out to listen. It wasn't long before Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were hearing what their friend heard. They couldn't help but feel a little chill go down their spines. Needless to say, it wasn't just the chilly wind that was responsible for those shivers.

"What is it?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"Animals fighting?" Applebloom suggested.

"That's what I was thinking when I first heard it," said Scootaloo.

"Yeah, but they sound really big and kind of far away," said Sweetie Belle.

"Then again, they'd have to be big in order for the sounds they make to carry over the rain and the wind," said Applebloom.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, causing a clap of thunder.

"And the lightning, too," Sweetie Belle added.

"W- What animal could be big enough to make noises like that?" asked Applebloom.

Soon after, both she and Sweetie Belle gasped in fear as they reached the same conclusion. They looked to Scootaloo, who gave them a knowing face.

"Scootaloo, you were already thinking what we're thinking even before we were thinking it," said Applebloom.

"Y-y-Yeah. ...I think," said a now shivering Sweetie Belle.

"Yes, I already thought that those animals may actually be kaiju locked up in a brawl," said Scootaloo.

All three fillies turned their heads away from each other and back out the window. The cries of the monsters seemed to be getting more and more intense.

"W-w-w-What do we do?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"What if they are kaiju fighting each other. What do we do then?" asked Scootaloo.

"I don't know. Why would two kaiju be fighting each other anyways? I thought they were all on the same side," said Applebloom.

Sweetie Belle gasped as she thought of a possibility.

"Maybe it's the good one! You know, the one Twilight helped bring to Equestria to help us? Maybe that's it fighting one of the bad ones!"

"I think you could be right, Sweetie Belle!" said Applebloom.

"Well, if it is, what do we do?" asked Scootaloo.

"Let's get Rarity or one of the other adults," Sweetie Belle suggested.

Before they could carry out the suggestion, the CMC looked back into the bedroom when they heard the door being opened. The ponies that came through the door were none other than Applejack, with her eyes half closed, and Rainbow Dash, who was rubbing at her eyes. Rarity, who might as well have been sleepwalking, stood outside the door with her sleep mask still on her forehead, though it was not covering her eyes.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash looked over at the fillies at the opened window, then to the empty bed and back over to the Cutie Mark Crusaders again.

"Land sakes and tarnation! What are ya youngins doing up this late at night?" asked Applejack.

"Seriously! I'm all for staying up late and everything, but it's kind of lame to do it just to stare out an open window at a crazy storm!" said Rainbow Dash.

"I do say, girls, why are you up at this untimely hour? You're interfering with both yours and my beauty sleep," said Rarity.

"Oh, thank Celestia! We were just about to come get you!" said Scootaloo.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash gave the young pony looks of confusion.

"Come get us?" asked Applejack.

"Come get us for what?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Listen to the noises coming from outside," said Sweetie Belle.

"You mean, out the window?" asked Rarity.

"Yeah, we think there's something out there," said Applebloom.

The three mares looked at each other, asking through their facial expressions what they should do. All three of them reached an agreement and walked to the window. They each fell into place behind their younger sisters and listened. They, too, heard the noises coming out of the shadows of the night. And when they heard it, they didn't even need to think about what it could be. They knew right away.

"KAIJU!" said Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity at the same time.

"That's what we were thinking," said Sweetie Belle.

"It sounds like they're in a total, knock down, drag out brawls with each other. But it sounds kind of far," said Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah, it does. I'd say, judging by the sound of it, that it's coming from somewhere deep in the Everfree Forest," said Applejack.

"The Everfree Forest!?" asked the CMC in shocked tones.

"You really think so, Applejack?"

"Yes, I do, Applebloom."

Rarity gasped before saying, "It's probably the guardian fighting one of those evil monsters!"

"Yeah, you're right, Rarity, it's gotta be! Or else, why would two kaiju be fighting each other? Twilight said all the evil ones were tight," said Rainbow Dash.

"Whether or not there is a good kaiju out there, either way, we need to tell Twilight right away," said Applejack.

"I'll send her a message right now," said Rarity before she took off to do so.

"What should we do?"

"There's not much we can do, Rainbow Dash. Once Rarity sends that message to Twilight, I'm sure she'll have a search party sent to the Everfree Forest. So, I think the best thing for us to do is to just try and go back to sleep." Applejack turned to the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who had been standing by and listening. "That goes double for you, youngins. So, let's just get on back into bed."

"Yes, Applejack," said Applebloom and Sweetie Belle.

The two fillies jumped down from the window ledge and walked towards the bed while Applejack guided them. But the orange Earth pony noticed she was missing a kid. She looked and saw that Scootaloo was still at the window ledge and looking out, listening for the sounds of the battling kaiju.

"C'mon, Scootaloo, you too," said Applejack.

But the young pegasus didn't respond. She was still staring out the window. It was like she was hypnotized by the battle cries of the monsters. Applejack was about to go to the window and get Scootaloo. She only took a few steps before she was stopped by Rainbow Dash. Applejack looked to her friend, who simply said, "I got this."

Rainbow Dash walked up next to Scootaloo and leaned on the window's edge like her young protege.

"Talk to me, squirt. What's on your mind?" said Rainbow Dash.

Scootaloo looked to her hero, only to look away very quickly. But it wasn't fast enough for Rainbow Dash not to see the tears welling up in her eyes. Rainbow Dash put on a genuinely caring smile as she placed a hoof gently on Scootaloo's back.

"Scootaloo, what's wrong? Come on, you can tell me," said Rainbow Dash.

"W-Well... It's just that...it was...th-the sounds. It was the sounds of the monsters fighting. They... They..."

"They scared you, didn't they?"

Scootaloo finally began to softly weep.

"Yes... Yes, they did."

"It isn't weak to admit when you're scared, Scootaloo. That's something I need to remember more often. The fact that you were able to tell somepony so quickly makes you a bigger pony than most."

"Really?" Scootaloo asked with a small smile.

"Yeah, totally. I know the sounds of big monsters fighting can't exactly be beautiful music to listen to. But in these next few days, you gotta remember something." Scootaloo looked at Rainbow Dash in curiosity, as the blue pegasus smiled. "One of those kaiju is on our side. ...So, don't worry, those noises you heard tonight are just a sign that things will get better for us."

But then Scootaloo allowed an uncertain look to cross her face.

"But, Rainbow Dash, what if the good kaiju loses this fight."

A concerned look crossed the rainbow haired pony's face. But it was only there for a half second before her confident smile returned.

"We can't think that way now, Scootaloo. We have to be brave and strong. Besides, we wont know if he won or not probably until tomorrow. So, for now, we just need to get some sleep," said Rainbow Dash.

Scootaloo couldn't help but still look a little concerned.

"Okay, I'll tell you what, how about I sleep in here tonight and give you a little bit more company?"

Scootaloo gasped in surprise.

"Really?" asked Scootaloo.

"Sure. Granted, I am a bit of a snorer, but I'd like to be here to look out for my little sister in case she needs me," said Rainbow Dash.

All Scootaloo could do was stare with a wide, open mouth smile with big, bright eyes. She knew that her and Rainbow Dash's surrogate sisterhood had come a long way since it formed. But she didn't know Rainbow Dash felt so strongly about it that she'd go to this kind of trouble. Sure, Scootaloo had gotten to that point, heck, she was there before they even became sisters, she just wasn't ever sure if Rainbow Dash had or not. But now, this removed all doubt.

Rainbow Dash looked over to the bed where Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were all tucked in with Applejack at bedside, all three of them having seen the whole thing.

"You gals don't mind if I crash in here on the floor, do ya?"

"No, huh uh," said Applebloom.

"Not at all," said Sweetie Belle.

"Well, alright then! I just need to get my blanket and pillow and I'm good to go," said Rainbow Dash.

She only took a step or two before the sound of an explosion rang out in the distance. The ponies even felt a small tremor from it. They all listened closely for what noise might come next. It was only a little bit later when they heard the roar of one of the kaiju ring out in the air. Soon after, the rain and lightning ceased as the clouds dissipated. It was like the kaiju's roar was a command for the storm to disappear.

"Looks like we have a winner," said Scootaloo.

"Yeah...I guess we do. I'll be right back, Scootaloo," said Rainbow Dash.

"Goodnight, youngins. Sweet dreams," said Applejack before kissing Applebloom and Sweetie Belle on the forehead.

Then she and Rainbow Dash walked out of the room, only looking back to make sure Scootaloo was getting back into bed with the others. Rainbow Dash couldn't help but smile before she and Applejack walked out into the hall.

"It is okay for me to sleep on the floor in there, isn't it, A.J.?"

"Yeah, sure, Rainbow Dash. Just one question though. Who do ya think won? Our kaiju or the other kaiju?"

"It was totally ours, no doubt about it."

"How do ya know?"

"Because I recognize the noises that other kaiju was making. That was that Screech bat that attacked Ponyville. I remember because I made that thing chase me. So, I was pretty close enough to know what it sounds like. So, trust me when I say, our kaiju dropped that bat like yesterday's trash."

"I guess you're right, Rainbow Dash."

"That's splendid news! That can only mean things will start getting better!" said Rarity in excitement.

"What in tarnation is going on out there!?"

"Nothing, Granny Smith. Just go on back to sleep. We'll try to keep it down," said Applejack.

"You sure as tree sap better! This is no time of night for a shin dig! Land sakes..."

Granny Smith went into a mumble of complaints until she eventually fell back asleep. Then the three mares in the hall continued speaking, quietly of course.

"Did you send the message to, Twilight?"

"Yes, Applejack, and I got a response almost a minute later."

"Dang, this whole kaiju thing must be keeping her awake at night," said Rainbow Dash.

"The poor dear. This kaiju business does tend to put a lot of pressure on everypony as of late. Anyways, Twilight said she's already sent a message to Princess Celestia requesting a search party of the Everfree Forest."

"Sweet," said Rainbow Dash.

"Good to know. Thanks, Rarity," said Applejack.

"My pleasure, darling. But now if you'll excuse me, I have to try and get back to sleep. A beauty like me wont be as beautiful without her beauty sleep."

"We can't have that, now can we?"

"Nope, Applejack. We simply cannot," said Rainbow Dash.

The three mares hugged each other before going off back to bed. Rainbow Dash took a little bit longer since she was going to one room to pick up stuff to sleep and then transporting it to another room. But it was worth it when she walked into the room and saw Scootaloo and her friends laying in bed as peaceful as can be. Rainbow Dash didn't know about the others, but she could tell Scootaloo wasn't asleep yet. She saw, despite how hard Scootaloo tried to not be seen, that she opened an eye just a little bit to see if it was Rainbow Dash who had entered the room.

Rainbow Dash simply smiled before she walked up to a spot on the floor right in front of the edge of Applebloom's bed and set up her blanket and pillow. Rainbow Dash laid herself down on the floor, underneath the blanket, and placing her head on the pillow. While it wasn't the most comfortable sleeping arrangement, Rainbow Dash has had worse. This wouldn't be a problem for her in the slightest. So she slowly closed her eyes and tried to drift off to sleep. One occupant in the room wasn't so quick to do so.

Scootaloo opened her eyes and sat up to look at Rainbow Dash. Then without making any sound, Scootaloo slipped out of bed and tip toed next to Rainbow Dash. Then, just as silently as before, Scootaloo slipped under the blanket with Rainbow Dash. While she wasn't sure how her older sister would take this, Scootaloo was hopeful she wouldn't mind. She got her answer only a half a minute later when Rainbow Dash's right front leg made its way around Scootaloo's shoulders, which made the little filly gasp in joy.

Rainbow Dash smiled at her young ward as she pulled her closer. Then Rainbow Dash did something even she wasn't expecting. She leaned her head over and kissed Scootaloo on the forehead. All Scootaloo could do was stare at Rainbow Dash with a surprised smile.

"Applejack forgot to do that for you earlier. I figured somepony had to. ...Don't tell anyone though. Seriously, I've got a reputation to keep up," Rainbow Dash explained.

The two pegasi closed their eyes and began to slowly drift off to sleep.

"Good night, Rainbow Dash."

"Good night, Scootaloo."

ALSO ELSEWHERE DURING THE FIGHT:

Fluttershy practically jumped up to the ceiling when she was forced awake by the sounds of battle coming from the Everfree Forest. While they were obviously very far away, they were still mightier than the noises made by the storm.

"Godzilla!" Fluttershy yelled in alarm.

She knew instantly what was happening. She knew that Godzilla had come across one of the other kaiju that had invaded Equestria. She knew it was bound to happen eventually, she just didn't know it would happen this soon. Being forced awake by the cries of battle and the storm meant that Fluttershy wasn't in the best of states at the moment. Also, realizing that Godzilla could be hurt very badly and found by somepony before she got a chance to tell them herself sent Fluttershy into extreme panic mode.

"I've got to get out there! But wait! What about the storm!? Worse yet, what about the other kaiju?! ...The fight! How am I gonna explain things to Godzilla or any of my friends?! I shouldn't have tried to keep secrets! I shouldn't have lied!"

Fluttershy's mind was trying to process several things at once. This wasn't the best thing to do after being shocked out of sleep and then trying to walk down a flight of stairs afterwards. As if fate itself were trying to prove this, Fluttershy lost her footing on the stairs and was unable to get it back. The result was her tripping and falling down the stairs, crashing to the floor below. It ended up being one of the few lucky moments where no major, life threatening injuries occurred. Fluttershy did, however, sustain a bump on the head hard enough to knock her out for the rest of the night.

Dang it, Godzillafan1! You caught me with the Power Rangers reference! LOL, I'm just playing, I don't try to sugarcoat my references in the story. Heck, I've even come right out and pointed the references out myself in my author's notes. I'll point out another one from the previous chapter. When Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo were talking about the stars, I had Rainbow Dash say almost the exact opening lines from the from the monologue at the beginning of Pacific Rim. Go ahead and go back and read that dialogue again, you'll see it. But anyways, I put the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers reference in there for 2 reasons.

1. I needed to find a way to let people know that King Sombra was still a part of this story and that scenario seemed like the best way to do it.

2. I LOVE POWER RANGERS! The original Mighty Morphin' show is among my favorites of the series. Plus that particular episode (No Clowning Around) stuck out so much because I owned it on VHS and thus got to watch it over and over again.

But yeah, references aside, I gotta say, I enjoyed writing this chapter very much. I had a lot of fun writing the fight between Godzilla and Screech. The kaiju fights come much more naturally to me then the ponies and kaiju interactions and heck, even more then the scenes for the ponies without kaiju. That's probably because I've been writing kaiju fights a lot longer. I was originally gonna ask at some point, which kaiju you readers wanted Godzilla to fight first, but then I forgot to. But now I'll ask: Which kaiju do you want to see Godzilla fight next? Let me know.

Oh, people have been asking me to add silly Godzilla moments from the past like the dropkick from Godzilla vs. Megalon or the dance from Monster Zero. Well, the answer is: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! While this story does have it silly moments and the Godzilla of this story takes some of the personality traits of Godzilla from the Showa era, I still refuse to make Godzilla dance! No dropkicks, no dancing, and no flying (Godzilla vs. Hedorah). But I will incorporate certain aspects that were pointed out in the Death Battle episode where Godzilla fought Gamera, like the power and pressure of his atomic breath, his drawing strength from electricity, and what not.

Please remember to leave a review after reading and don't be afraid to let me know of any errors I might have missed in proofreading or any criticisms you might have with the plot of the story itself. I'm The Guy Who Likes To Write Stuff, signing off.
