The fight was on! Godzilla clashed with the dragon/phoenix hybrid kaiju called Flamela in the middle of a wildfire burning across what use to be White Tail Woods. The Mane Six watched the entire fight from a safe distance as the combatants raged on. Currently, Godzilla had Flamela by his arms and was forcing him backwards, shoving with all his mighty strength. Flamela had tried to halt Godzilla's progress many a time, but so far had been unsuccessful. How much time went by before Flamela managed to stop Godzilla was unsure. What was sure was how Flamela did it.

While Flamela's feet had previously been sliding across the ground's surface as Godzilla pushed him back, a sudden shift in his stance seemed to somehow be enough stop Godzilla's forward momentum. Having managed to properly brace himself from being pushed back further, Flamela decided to go on the offensive. He did this by kicking his right foot into Godzilla's left kneecap as he let out a roar. Flamela kicked his foot into Godzilla's knee several more times, on and on until Godzilla's leg finally buckled. Flamela stretched his foot up for one final kick, this one going into Godzilla's very chest, making him stumble back.

Godzilla let out a moaning roar as he struggled to keep from collapsing. Meanwhile Flamela charged forward, ramming his body into Godzilla's. This caused him to stumble back even further. But he never once fell to the ground; he wouldn't let himself. Instead, Godzilla manged to recover his footing before letting out a roar and storming towards Flamela. The hybrid kaiju roared out as well before charging up to Godzilla.

Both monsters allowed their bodies to collide with each other. Flamela would end up getting in the next offensive assault after the collision. Flamela clawed at Godzilla's face and body and swatted his open palms at his foe as well. It seemed to be affective, as Godzilla was forced to step backwards while Flamela kept following him, swinging his hands all the way. Flamela began to use his entire joint arm/wing limbs to assault Godzilla, smacking them back and forth across Godzilla's hide multiple times. With each smack that managed to hit him in the face, Godzilla got more and more furious. It was time to stop retreating and start advancing.

Godzilla let out a war call as he charged forth, slashing his claws at Flamela's face all the while. The flame covered kaiju roared as he lifted his head up higher and shook it around to avoid anymore claw strikes from Godzilla. In response, Godzilla struck a quick battle pose before spinning around, bringing up his tail and smacking it across Flamela's head in the process. The fiery kaiju's head was rocked hard by the tail strike. Flamela moaned from the pain, while Godzilla roared out to impose his superiority.

Then Godzilla started stomping up to Flamela for his next attack, but it was not his to have. Instead, Flamela caught Godzilla out of the corner of his eye and turned to him, opening his mouth to unleash a huge breath of fire at his foe. While the fire didn't harm Godzilla like Flamela wanted, it did temporarily blind hi, with swirls of bright, fiery colors. Despite the fire not burning Godzilla to death, it did engulf the entire upper half of his body and the force of the wave made Godzilla to take a few steps back. Flamela kept his flaming breath going for forty seconds and then ceased fire.

Then Flamela let out a roar as he jumped up into the air, flapping his wings to aid in his leap. He continued flapping his wing to keep himself in the air. Godzilla lightly shook his head to remove the hazy feeling in his eyes after taking the fire breath right to the face. He spotted Flamela flying high above him, letting out a frustrated growl at what he saw. Flamela and Godzilla both roared out at each other in rage. Neither of them had intentions of backing down from the fight.

Godzilla stretched out his arms to try and grab Flamela out of the air. Instead, Flamela let himself drop down feet first, slamming them into Godzilla's chest, forcing him back. Before Godzilla could get his proper footing back, a second drop kick hit him in his chest, knocking him back further. Flamela let out a roar as he dropped his feet into Godzilla's chest, knocking him back once more. Flamela was finding out Godzilla would not be taken off his feet so easily. He was still gonna try though, starting with him using his hawk-like beak to peck at Godzilla's face, neck, and shoulders multiple times.

Flamela pecked with tremendous agility. The collision of Flamela's beak against Godzilla's thick hide caused sparks to fly with each peck. Godzilla got the most pain from being pecked in the eye. It was the same eye that had taken so much abuse already that day. It even made Godzilla screech out a little bit. This sent the his furry to the boiling point and he was about to take it out on the kaiju who made it so. Godzilla looked up at the kaiju in question and howled in rage.

Godzilla roared as he swung a hand up at Flamela's face, but the hybrid kaiju pulled his head back to avoid the swipe and then continued pecking at Godzilla with even greater force. Godzilla swung his other hand up at Flamela's head, but again he missed because the flying monster pulled its head back. Godzilla snorted in aggravation as he outstretched his hand in another effort at Flamela's head. This swing ended up hitting home, Godzilla's hand smacking into the side of his opponent's cranium.

Godzilla quickly reached up his other hand and grabbed at Flamela's neck and began pulling him downward. Flamela tried to pull his head away and out of Godzilla's grasp as he flapped his wings harder to aid him. The Nuclear Leviathan was just too strong for Flamela to match. Godzilla used his superior strength to pull Flamela out of the sky and back down to the ground. To assert his dominance, Godzilla roared in Flamela's face before swinging his right fist up into Flamela's beak for an uppercut. The force of the blow sent the hybrid monster's head whipping up into the air.

Godzilla kept up his assault by grabbing Flamela's neck and pulling it down before sinking his teeth into it. Flamela squealed in pain as he tried desperately to pull his neck free of Godzilla's powerful bite, but he would not let go so easily. The burning heat emitting from Flamela's body did not harm Godzilla's mouth, for it was now accustom to such feelings from firing his atomic breath. Flamela began walking around in a circle as fast as he could hoping his neck would slip out of Godzilla's mouth. That didn't happen though; Godzilla just walked around with Flamela, matching his speed and tightening his bite all the while.

As the two massive kaiju walked around and around, going all over the place, they smashed through several burning objects and walked through walls of flames. They began to move much quicker with more force than they already had before. The battling kaiju kept their spinning going for a while, but it could only go on for so long. One of these monsters would have to lose the chase. Unfortunately, Godzilla had more weight to carry, while Flamela actually had more stamina. He tried to keep up, but eventually Godzilla did end up slipping, thereby losing his bite.

Finally free, Flamela turned to Godzilla and charged forth ramming into him. Godzilla was forced back several feet, but he stopped himself very quickly. He glared at Flamela for a moment, then charged at him. Flamela stopped him for by releasing his fire breath into the Kaiju King's face. Once again Godzilla wasn't harmed by the wave of flames, but the force of the wave and the bright, blinding light that emitted from it did stop him in his tracks. Flamela did not know his fire breath wasn't having much effect on Godzilla and thus believed it was his best weapon to use, so he kept it going.

Besides, it didn't seem to Flamela that his opponent had a weapon that could match his fire breath. Godzilla was ready to shatter Flamela's whole perspective on that, for he had a far more powerful weapon than mere flames. Flamela was so busy firing his burning breath attack that he didn't even notice that Godzilla's back spikes had started glowing blue. He didn't know what was coming until Godzilla's atomic blast came tearing through his fire breath. The beam ended up plowing into Flamela's chest with incredible impact. But when Godzilla's atomic breath hit, it did not give off the same explosive result as it had every time before.

Instead, Godzilla somehow figured out how to put all focus on the force and pressure of the beam. By doing this, Godzilla managed to shoot a beam with the force of three hundred twenty eight trillion pounds per square inch. Flamela's exterior and pain endurance couldn't hope to match up against such a blast of power. The hurting kaiju let its pain be known to all when it let out a loud, shrill cry of agony.

Godzilla's atomic blast did not go unnoticed by the Mane Six, who were still watching the fight from a far. They all gaped in surprise and amazement at the sight they saw. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked on more so in amazement than surprise, Rainbow Dash particularly enjoying the sight of Godzilla unleashing his atomic blast into Flamela's chest.

"What in all of Equestria was that?!" asked Applejack when Godzilla finally ceased firing his atomic breath.

"Oh, my goodness! Did you ponies see that?" asked Rarity.

Godzilla soon fired another powerful beam from his mouth. This time he fired it into Flamela's face, which made the cross breed kaiju scream in pain once again. The ponies all stared with amazed expressions a second time.

"Yeah, it is pretty awesome isn't it?" asked Rainbow Dash as the blue beam's light illuminated even more than the glow of the fire.

Godzilla walked in closer to Flamela, who cried out from the pain it felt. It was so bad, Flamela even fell to one knee. At that moment, Godzilla stopped firing his atomic breath and lurched his head forward and roared at Flamela to let him know that he believed he'd be the victor in their fight. Suddenly, Flamela charged forward, surprising Godzilla so much so that he was unable to defend himself from the hybrid kaiju's approach. Flamela came crashing into Godzilla, forcing him to back away. The phoenix/dragon mix took the opportunity to try and make a break for it, flapping his wings to lift himself up into the air.

Godzilla quickly spotted Flamela and instantly knew he was trying to escape. He then roared out before charging at his fleeing foe. Godzilla reached up his hands and managed to grab a hold of Flamela's feet. Flamela roared out in protest while he tried to shake himself loose and flapped his wings harder. It eventually proved to be futile, as Godzilla managed to pull him down closer to the ground. Then Godzilla wrapped his arms completely around Flamela's legs, giving him a better grip as he continued pulling the fire monster downward.

The flying kaiju roared in protest while the kaiju on the ground roared with determination. As Flamela tried to keep himself airborne and tried to force himself up higher and out of his foe's grasp, Godzilla continued to try to tug and pull him to the ground. Flamela finally stretched its head down towards Godzilla and started pecking at the back of his neck. Godzilla freed one of his arms to swat back at Flamela's head once before re-wrapping that arm around the hybrid kaiju's legs. Flamela changed tactics and tried biting down on the back of Godzilla's neck in hopes that would make him let go of his legs.

Instead of doing that, Godzilla unwrapped one arm so he could club his fist into Flamela's side a few times. Then Godzilla blasted his atomic breath into Flamela's body with the same force as before. Flamela shrieked out in agony as he felt himself being pulled out of the air and back down to Earth. Once he and his foe were on even ground again, Godzilla grabbed a hold of Flamela's arms and bit into his right shoulder. However, Flamela responded quickly by biting down and sinking his teeth into Godzilla's shoulder for retaliation.

The two monsters began pulling their head back to tug at each others' shoulders. They would also thrash their heads around to aid in the attempt to rip one an others' shoulder apart. Godzilla began to walk backwards, dragging Flamela along with him. He tried to counter, but Godzilla was clearly the stronger. He was practically pulling Flamela around like a rag doll. As the two monsters charged through their fiery environment, they would plow through burnt up trees and the like, as they had several times before.

Flamela managed to stop Godzilla from dragging him even further and stabilized his footing. Yet Godzilla still swung his head about to try and pull a chunk of meat out of the hybrid. Once he was able to halt Godzilla's progress, Flamela lifted a foot up onto his enemy's knee and began pressing against it to pull himself free. Godzilla tried biting down even harder to keep his hold on Flamela. While it caused Flamela greater pain, even more since he was pushing away at the same time, he refused to give up freeing himself. As the struggle went on, Godzilla felt Flamela's flesh slip and tear through his teeth.

This painful experience finally came to an end when Flamela went stumbling backwards, but with a new wound in his shoulder. Flamela cried out as he grabbed at his injured shoulder while Godzilla roared out in frustration. The two titans of terror roared out before charging at one another. They were both determined to finish this fight with their self coming out on top. The two kaiju slammed into each other, making a loud thundering boom as they did so. The force of their collision made them both bounce off each other and stumble back a few feet. Godzilla and Flamela roared in each others' face before they rammed into each other again.

They bounced off each other once more and again roared at each other in hatred. Godzilla surprised Flamela when he spun around, thus swinging his tail across his foe's face. Flamela was hit hard by the blow, which made him reel back and forth in pain. Godzilla kept up his assault by throwing several hard and fast punches up and down Flamela's torso. The dragon/phoenix mix breed kaiju cried out as he felt each blow crash into his body. Every punch Godzilla threw was strong enough to take a chunk out of the side of a mountain. It ended up doing quite a number on Flamela's body, too.

To try and get him some relief, Flamela swung his right wing forth and back across Godzilla's face. Flamela repeated the same set of attacks with his left wing across the Atomic Dragon's face. Godzilla countered by ramming his head into Flamela's chest. Flamela was able to keep himself from falling to the ground despite the wind nearly getting knocked out of him. He made the next move by spinning around and swinging his tail across Godzilla's face. Godzilla reeled from the tail swing to his head, but, like his opponent before him, managed to stay on his feet.

However, he was unable to keep from toppling over with Flamela's next attack, which was him flapping his wings to lift up into the air and kicking both his feet into Godzilla's face. After the Kaiju King collapsed onto his back, Flamela turned towards the sky and flew upward as fast as he could. Godzilla let out several frustrated roars as he rolled around to try and get off his back and onto his front. Once he managed to do this, Godzilla pushed himself back up onto his feet and then looked around for Flamela. His head zipped around in every direction to spot his fire covered enemy.

Godzilla heard the roar of Flamela coming from up above and turned to the exact direction it was coming from. It wasn't long before he spotted the hybrid kaiju flying up in the sky, getting higher and higher by the second. Godzilla roared a challenge for Flamela to come back down and continue the fight. Flamela accepted the challenge, letting out his own roar as he made a U-turn and began flying down at Godzilla. Flamela wasn't going to take any chances. He was gonna try to finish his bitter struggle with Godzilla once and for all. To that end, he flew down at his full speed.

Godzilla took notice of Flamela's increased flight velocity and that, as a result, a build up of visible wind gust and fire began to form around him like a falling meteor. An intense look came across Godzilla's face as he clenched his fists, stomped his feet down, burring them in the ground, and slammed his tail down. Now properly braced, Godzilla's back spikes began to glow, as did the inside of his mouth. He did not release his atomic breath right away though. No, he held it in for a moment and let its powerful, forceful pressure build up. He slowly lowered his head as the beam's power continued to build.

The Mane Six were beginning to get a little nervous due to how much time had gone by since Godzilla had begun to charge his atomic breath without him firing. It was especially nerve racking since Flamela was getting closer and closer to plowing into Godzilla for what was sure to be a massive collision. They starred on intensely as Godzilla continued his refusal to fire his atomic breath and let his incoming enemy get closer.

"He's taking too long!" Rarity exclaimed concernedly.

"...Maybe not," Twilight Sparkle said in a voice that was barely above a whisper.

It was right after she said when Godzilla's head sprung upward and his atomic breath came rushing out of his mouth with amazing speed and power. Flamela's eyes widened in horror. Before he could stop himself or change course, the blue power beam came plowing into Flamela's body. It wasn't long before the beam went right through Flamela's body. The glow from the surrounding fire illuminated the look of dead horror on Flamela's face, the stunned amazement on the faces of the onlooking Mane Six, and the victorious look on Godzilla's.

Flamela's defeated form came crashing into the ground several yards away from Godzilla. The ground shook with tremendous force from the impact of the collision. It even sent up a dust cloud, which blew out for a good distance before dispersing. After all that, Godzilla began to slowly and cautiously approach Flamela's body. As he got closer, Godzilla noticed the impact crater the dead kaiju's carcass had made from the crash landing.

It wasn't long before he saw Flamela himself laying there lifeless. Godzilla examined the body as best he could. He saw the hole in the middle of Flamela's chest where his atomic breath had hit. Godzilla had thought he was just seeing things before, but after closer examination it was confirmed. His atomic breath had indeed blown a hole straight through Flamela's chest and out of his upper back. There were no signs of life at all from Flamela; not surprising since Godzilla's beam probably shot out several vital organs. It was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. The fight was over and Godzilla had won.

The Alpha Predator lifted his head into the air as he roared out triumphantly. His triumph had not gone unnoticed, for the Mane Six, who had been watching this whole time, saw just how majestic Godzilla looked at that moment. And in many ways, it also felt like their triumph to them as well. Among the reasons were that Godzilla was friend to a few of these ponies. Also, he had just killed one of the many kaiju that currently threatened Equestria and had probably killed several ponies. Yes, it was indeed a triumph for all. All, except the forces of evil. The feeling of victory boiled over in all the ponies of the Mane Six to the point where they had to let it out.

"He... He did it," said Rarity in somewhat stuttering and stunned tone. "He did it!" she said again in a much louder and more celebratory tone.

Soon, everypony was whooping and hollering out cheers to celebrate Godzilla's victory. They couldn't stop themselves from expressing how happy they were at that moment. After so many things went wrong in the recent past, it would seem that things are finally going right and they had Godzilla to thank for most of it. Their appreciation and celebration did not go unnoticed by the King of Monsters. Once he heard them, Godzilla turned his gaze to the Mane Six. Once everypony realized that he was looking in their direction, they ceased their cheering and stared right back, most of them with uncertainty.

Godzilla had won and the entirety of the Mane Six now knew who their guardian kaiju was. They were staring at him at that very moment. The question now was, what do they do next? How do they proceed where it pertained to Godzilla? Should they try approaching him? Should they wait for the ponies he already made friends with to approach him? Do they try to approach him now or later? Would he approach them? What would they do if he did? Do they try communicating with him?

These were all questions that were considered by those who did not know Godzilla personally and thus did not know how to react to him. But while Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie were busy pondering these questions in their heads, the two ponies that did know Godzilla personally already knew what to do next. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked on at him with appreciative smiles. The other four ponies soon caught sight of how calm, cool, and collective their two friends were being. They stared on as their friends smiled at the kaiju. They then looked over to Godzilla to see how he would respond.

Even through the fires blazing in the night, the King of the Monsters' gratitude was plain to see on his face. Twilight Sparkle and the others were admittedly surprised by how sentient this kaiju seemed to be and even more surprised by how well he's interacted with ponies thus far. This kaiju was an enigma to Twilight and the others, but he was a welcomed one. After seeing what he did to Flamela to try and protect them, everypony in the group was beginning to believe that Equestria would be safe in his claws. Despite how the numbers seemed to be stacked against them, the power Godzilla had displayed thus far was too amazing to ignore.

Suddenly, the interaction between Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Godzilla was interrupted when a wave of fire seemed to ignite out of nowhere right in front of the ponies. Everypony screamed when the flames came blazing up at them. Alarm was painted all over Godzilla's face when he saw that happen. When he saw the ponies were unharmed, his alarm was replaced with determination as he roared out and began stomping towards the Mane Six.

"Alright, y'all, this fire's gotten way to close for comfort!" exclaimed Applejack.

"Agreed! Definitely agreed! I do suggest we get out of here!" said Rarity.

"Alright, everypony, let's move!" said Twilight Sparkle.

The Mane Six began running away from the fire as fast as they could. They ran for several yards before they were stopped by noises coming from behind them. They looked and saw a cloud of dirt where the fire that threatened them had been before. The group of ponies soon heard the roars of Godzilla afterwards. Curiosity getting a hold of them, the Mane Six walked back towards White Tail Woods to see what Godzilla was doing. By the time they got back to their previous spot, the dirt cloud had settled.

What they saw next was another of the incredible moments Godzilla seemed to have a knack for. Sometimes he would stomp his feet on the fire or smack his tail on it. Other times, he would dig his foot under the ground and kick up massive amounts of dirt on the fire, followed by his tail sweeping across the ground and flinging more dirt on the flames.

"He's trying to put out the fire!" exclaimed Rarity.

"Like a fire kaiju," said Pinkie Pie.

"Uh... wasn't Flamela the fire kaiju?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Not that kind of fire kaiju. The kind that's a fire kaiju in the same way a pony can be a fire pony, aka a firefighter, silly," Pinkie Pie explained.

"Oh," said everypony else.

They stared on at Godzilla's fire fighting efforts for a moment. The lengths he seemed to be going to in order to put out the fire and in the long term keeping it from spreading and saving several lives was absolutely unbelievable. Applejack walked up to Twilight Sparkle and whispered to her, "Do you think he can put out that whole fire by himself?"

"I don't know. It's possible if he keeps at it, I guess," said Twilight Sparkle.

"How long do you think it would take him?" asked Applejack.

"Well, if he keeps going the way he has been, I'd say probably three hours or something like that," Twilight Sparkle estimated.

"Do you think that will be fast enough?" asked Fluttershy.

"Maybe to keep it from burning up anything else, but I'm sorry to say it won't be fast enough to save White Tail Woods. I'm afraid it's lost," said Twilight Sparkle somberly.

The other ponies joined the alicorn princess in her gloominess as they watched the fire burn on while Godzilla tried and put it out. They couldn't help but feel upset that such a beautiful place as White Tail Woods used to be was now burning to the ground. As if to push the point further, a tree completely engulfed in a pit of fire collapsed piece by burning piece. The sight made the Mane Six's hearts sink further. However, they would not give up hope. Now that Godzilla was around to help them, they would all try to be stronger in will and spirit to match their guardian's.

Rainbow Dash began by walking up and standing boldly.

"Well, I'm not gonna let Godzilla deal with all this by himself!" said Rainbow Dash. "I'm gonna whip me up a rain cloud and give Big G a hoof!"

"It's too dangerous for you to go out there, Rainbow Dash, even with Godzilla there!" said Twilight Sparkle, remembering what happened to Derpy Hooves. "You can't fly in skies above wildfires like this on your own!"

"Maybe she won't have to," said Pinkie Pie.

"Looky over yonder," said Applejack as she pointed a hoof.

Everypony else followed her hoof and looked up. What they saw made them gasp in surprise before smiling. Several large storm clouds were being transported by pegasi wearing very familiar uniforms. They were especially familiar to Rainbow Dash.

"THE WONDERBOLTS!"

Indeed, it was a whole squadron being led by the three heads of the Wonderbolts, Spitfire, Soarin, and Fleetfoot.

"They must be the aid I had Spike ask Celestia for," said Twilight Sparkle with relief.

One of the things of first notice was that the usually lightning fast Wonderbolts were moving rather slow and carefully while they transported the overly huge rain clouds. While everyone of the Mane Six took notice, it was ultimately Rainbow Dash who decided she would do something about it.

"It looks like they could use some help up there. And who better then the head of the weather squad of Ponyville?" inquired Rainbow Dash.

She then turned to her friends for their approval. Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy all looked at each other for a moment before nodding amongst themselves. They then turned their nods onto Rainbow Dash.

"Alright, Rainbow, go for it," said Twilight Sparkle.

Rainbow Dash smiled with determination before she flew up to aid the Wonderbolts.

"Fluttershy, do you think Godzilla-" Twilight Sparkle stopped when she saw the pegasus mare was gone. "Where is she?"

"Up there," said Rarity as she pointed a hoof.

Everypony looked up and spotted Fluttershy flying after Rainbow Dash. The light blue pony spotted Fluttershy soon after coming up alongside her.

"I thought they could use an extra, extra hoof," said Fluttershy with a smile.

Her usually timid friend's current actions surprised Rainbow Dash. It was hard for her to believe that this was the same pony who, not too long ago, was afraid of her own shadow. Now here she was volunteering to extinguish a fire and befriending giant monsters. Rainbow Dash gave Fluttershy her trademark determined smile.

"Alright, let's do it, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she held out a hoof.

Fluttershy lightly tapped her own hoof against her friend's like it was a fragile piece of glass. Well, maybe she's still the same pony after all, Rainbow Dash thought to herself. The two pegasi flew up to the Wonderbolt escorted clouds with no distractions. Several Wonderbolt ponies took notice of the two approaching civilian pegasi. This included, Spitfire, Soarin, and Fleetfoot, who all recognized the rainbow haired mare instantly.

"Rainbow Dash?" asked all three Wonderbolts at the same time as they came to a stop.

"At your service," said Rainbow Dash with a salute.

When Fluttershy saw her do this, she followed along and saluted the Wonderbolts as well.

"What are you doing here?" asked Spitfire.

"Yeah, it's dangerous to be here right now," said Soarin.

"We're with him," said Rainbow Dash as she pointed down.

As the head Wonderbolts looked down, Godzilla chose that moment to roar out. Their jaws dropped when they saw the massive kaiju scooping up dirt and tossing it all over the flames. They had heard about the kaiju that were walking all around Equestria and causing mayhem, but this was their first time seeing one. Though it looked more like this one was being helpful than destructive.

"Holy cow, a monster! A real monster!" exclaimed Soarin.

"I see it, but I still don't believe it!" said Fleetfoot.

"Don't be afraid, everypony. Like Rainbow Dash said, he's with us," said Fluttershy.

The Wonderbolts turned their looks of opened jaw surprise to the two pegasi in front of them.

"He's with you?" asked Fleetfoot.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash nodded their heads as they smiled brightly. Spitfire looked from them back down to Godzilla and then back to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy again.

"You mean, this monster and you are...?"

"The best of," confirmed Fluttershy.

"Yeah, totally. Didn't you guys hear about the good kaiju that was brought to Equestria by the princesses to help us out?" inquired Rainbow Dash.

The memories of receiving that information came flooding back to them.

"So... this monster is him?" asked Spitfire.

"Indeed, he is," said Fluttershy.

"Yup, that's him. Godzilla," said Rainbow Dash.

"Godzilla?" asked Spitfire.

"Cool name, right?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Hmm... Are you sure?" asked Spitfire.

"Most definitely, Ms. Spitfire ma'am. He is trying to help, after all," said Fluttershy.

"Yeah, that's right. He's trying to put out the fire isn't he?" added Rainbow Dash.

The Wonderbolts all looked down again and watched as the monster below swept up a giant pile of dirt with his tail and swung it onto a wall of fire. Then they looked to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy with smiles.

"Well, it looks like he could use some backup. So, whadda ya say we give it to him? All of us," said Spitfire.

"Aw yeah!" said Rainbow Dash as she lifted her hoof up and quickly brought it back down.

"It would be our honor," said Fluttershy.

"Then, c'mon, we got a hot spot that could use a shower," said Fleetfoot.

"Right," said everypony else.

The group of pegasi flew quickly to catch up with the Wonderbolts cadets that were pushing along the cluster of massive rain clouds. They didn't get too far away, the clouds were too big to let them, so the others were able to catch up easily. They took their spots amongst the crowd and began pushing against the clouds.

Rainbow Dash looked to the leader of the Wonderbolts and said, "Spitfire, where exactly are we putting these clouds?"

Spitfire turned to the blue mare and replied, "We need to put them right in the middle of the woods so that their rain will put out every last little flame."

"But even with how big these clouds are, regular rain fall will still take a long time to put out the fire. Maybe even too long to stop it from spreading," said Fluttershy.

"Not if we force all the rain out at once," said Fleetfoot.

"Besides, your monster buddy's hard at work down there, too," said Soarin.

"That's your plan? Force?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Eh, pretty much," said Spitfire.

"...Well, I like it!" said Rainbow Dash with an approving nod and smile.

Spitfire returned the smile before both she and Rainbow Dash turned their full attention back to moving the storm clouds. The process of doing so seemed to go by faster than it was before, at least to the Wonderbolt cadets. It went by so fast, it felt like they had finished moving the clouds only thirty seconds after Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had joined them. The ponies of the Mane Six just seemed to bring out the best in most ponies no matter the situation. Once the group of pegasi had reached the position they were suppose to have the storm clouds in, Spitfire called out to let them know.

"Alright, everypony! Stop it right here! We've reached the spot we wanted!"

Everypony stopped and in unison, managing to stop the cluster of rain clouds in the process.

"Good. Alright, everypony, listen up! We're all gonna fly up about fifteen feet and then come down together to release the rain from these clouds. This is a risky operation because we all have to fly down and hit the cloud at the same time. So we can't mess up. After that first charge down on the clouds, it should force the rain to come out quicker and more abundantly than usual. This is our first wildfire assignment and we have to make sure it's completely eradicated. Does everypony understand this?"

"Yes, ma'am!" said everyone of the pegasi.

Spitfire nodded approvingly before saying, "Alright, let's all line up!"

The pegasi all did as their commanding officer ordered, flying around and forming four lines of ponies; ten to each line. Spitfire looked around her to make sure everypony was in position. On her left were her fellow heads of the Wonderbolts, Soarin and Fleetfoot, with two other pegasi next to them. On Spitfire's right was the two volunteer ponies, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, with three pegasi lined up next to them. Rainbow Dash gave Spitfire a confident smirk, which Spitfire matched in reply. Then the commanding Wonderbolt turned her attention to everypony around her.

"Alright, ponies, fly sky high!" Spitfire called out.

And with that, everypony flew up as fast as they could without breaking the unity of the group; trying to make sure their flight speed match that of those around them. They flew up to about fifteen feet when Spitfire called out to the group of pegasi.

"Halt!"

Everypony did as Spitfire ordered and stopped their flight climb at nearly the same time. The head of the Wonderbolts waited for a moment before giving the next order of action. She wanted to be sure they'd be able to fly down in as good of sync as they did coming up. Spitfire did one quick check around just to make sure everypony was ready. What she saw made Spitfire completely confident that they were, which allowed her to give the next order.

"Everypony, dive!"

Nopony hesitated in dropping down out of the sky and towards the clouds below. It was a controlled drop, however; everypony used their wings and the rest of their flight capable body structures to aid them. The flight seem to go by in no time. The velocity of their fall made it seem to the pegasi like the clouds were just rushing up right at them. Seeing they were so close was Spitfire's signal to give the next order.

"Shift!"

Everypony shifted their bodies around so their hooves were facing the clouds. They all landed onto the clouds soon afterwards. With this came the release of several gallons of water dropping out of the bottom of the clouds. It came out almost more like a single wave rather than separate drops. Meanwhile, on the ground below, Godzilla was sweeping up a gust of dirt at the abounding flames with his tail when he felt the rain from the clouds above drop down on him. Godzilla immediately stopped what he was doing and looked up at the sky. That's when he finally noticed the cluster of clouds that had been moved over the White Tail Woods area while he was busy trying to put out the fire. He gazed at the clouds for a little bit before he looked around him to see the results the rain would yield. He was aware of water's counter reaction to fire and judging by the looks of this rain, Godzilla was sure it would put out the fire.

Others who bore witness to the extreme firefighting plan were the four, non-pegasus ponies of the Mane Six. They all stared on with relieved smiles. They even let out cheers at the amazing sight of the mega-rain fall.

"They did it! They did it! THEY DID IT!" Pinkie Pie screamed out happily.

Twilight Sparkle looked around at her festive friends before turning her gaze back to the diminishing fire and said, "Yes, they did."

Godzilla was happy to see that was the water was able to minimize and even disperse some of the flames instantaneously. Not wanting to just stand around when work needed to be done, Godzilla continued scooping up dirt from the ground in his hands and tail. It was no longer just dirt he tossed on the fire. It was now mud, a dirt and water mixture, which was just as effective in putting out a fire. Godzilla had no doubts that this fire would be out and taken care of very soon.

With the combined efforts of the pegasi's intense rain storm and Godzilla's mud shoveling, it wasn't long before the fire was no more. Godzilla looked around to confirm this. He saw to it that there wasn't a flame left blazing. He gazed at the environment around him, walking around to inspect every corner possible. After a minute or so, he was sure that the fire had totally been taken care of. Godzilla lifted his head up as he roared out in celebration.

The Alpha Predator's celebratory call did not go unnoticed. The moment he bellowed out, the pegasi on the clouds above were caught off guard and slightly rattled. A short time later the rain began to fall out of the clouds in a more calm and natural way. For some reason this felt rather relaxing to Godzilla, who stood tall in the falling rain. The three head Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy all looked at each other, while the Wonderbolt cadets stood back with anticipation. Then the five ponies flew through the clouds to check on the situation below.

They were all relieved to see that they had been successful in putting out the fire, but couldn't help but be disappointed at how much had been destroyed by it. However, the Wonderbolts and their two civilian aids were still thankful that they were able to put out the fire before it could destroy anything else. They weren't the only ones either. Godzilla let out another roar of celebration, which caught the five ponies' attention. They all looked down at the mighty kaiju who turned his gaze to them once he was done roaring. It took the Wonderbolts a second, but Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were able to see instantly the joy in Godzilla's facial expression.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy returned their kaiju friend's happy face with two of their own mixed with gratitude. Godzilla slowly nodded his head as he let out several low moans. Spitfire, Soarin, and Fleetfoot soon joined in the rally of smiles.

"That's some friend you got there, guys" said Spitfire.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy didn't reply right away. They continued to smile down at Godzilla as they let the truth of Spitfire's words sink in. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked over at each other for a moment before looking back down at Godzilla.

"Yeah, he's really great," said Fluttershy.

"A totally cool friend I'm glad to have on my side," Rainbow Dash agreed.

Thanks to his super hearing, Godzilla was able to hear everything that was being said between the pegasi high above him. What they had to say really made Godzilla feel good about himself and also made him feel lucky that he was able to find friends like these little ponies. It made him feel so good that he almost wanted to shed a tear of happiness, but he restrained himself from doing so. It was still easy to see his eyes tremble however. Somethings just can't be hidden.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy turned their full attention over to the Wonderbolts.

"So, what are you gonna do now?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Hmm, I think for now, we're gonna head back to base and leave these rain clouds here to keep everything wet and hopefully prevent the fire from reigniting," said Spitfire.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash nodded their heads understandingly.

"Sounds like a plan to me," said Rainbow Dash.

"Me, too," Fluttershy agreed.

"Thanks to both you ponies for your help. I know that it was because of you and your... friend's assistance that this operation was as successful as it was," said Spitfire.

"You guys rock," said Fleetfoot. She looked down at Godzilla for a moment before adding, "All of you."

"It's totally cool that we got a kaiju on our side now and even cooler that he's your pal," said Soarin.

"Thanks, guys," said Rainbow Dash.

"Yes, thank you all very much," said Fluttershy.

Spitfire turned towards the clouds and said, "Alright, everypony, move out! Return to base!"

With that, the Wonderbolt cadets began to fly off back home. The three heads of the flying team flew to catch up with their squad, but Spitfire stopped and looked back at Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

"Tell Godzilla we said, thanks."

"Will do, Spitfire. Take it easy," said Rainbow Dash.

"Goodbye," said Fluttershy.

The ponies all waved to each other before Spitfire flew off after the rest of the Wonderbolts. That left Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to rejoin their friends. They flew down towards the Earth below. They flew towards Godzilla to meet him first. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash stopped when they were about seven feet from the end of the kaiju's face. Godzilla greeted them with a affectionate look and welcoming low growls. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash responded with warm smiles of appreciation. Then Rainbow Dash followed up with a quick wink before saying, "Right on, G Man."

Godzilla's expression turned to confusion at the blue pegasus's gesture. Rainbow Dash flew off to meet up with her pony friends soon after. Godzilla watched her go and then turned back to Fluttershy and let out a questioning roar.

"Oh, that's just a sign of trust and affection," Fluttershy explained. "It was basically Rainbow Dash's way of saying... she's got your back."

Fluttershy gave a small smile as she wondered if Godzilla would know what that means. His facial expression and a nod of his head told her he did, as did him giving her the same eye wink gesture. Fluttershy's face lit up as she let out an amused giggle.

"Why, thank you, Godzilla. Now, would you like to go meet all my friends?" said Fluttershy.

Godzilla's eyes widened in excitement as he let out an enthusiastic roar. Fluttershy giggled again, this time at how much a creature such as Godzilla was letting himself show how giddy he was.

"Alright then, let's go introduce you to everyone," said Fluttershy as she started to fly to where the rest of the Mane Six were.

She looked back and held out a hoof indicating that Godzilla should follow, which he did. He walked carefully and cautiously on his way, despite his excitement. At the same time as this was taking place, Rainbow Dash had just reunited with the other ponies in her group of friends. They all gathered around her with cheers and words of gratitude for Rainbow Dash's part in putting out the fire.

"Now, now, as much as the proud ego maniac in me would want to, I can't take all the credit. It was a joint effort between myself, the Wonderbolts, freaking Fluttershy! FLUTTERSHY! ...Oh, and of course, G Man," said Rainbow Dash.

"G Man?" asked Rarity as her head titled to the side.

"You know, Godzilla," Rainbow Dash explained.

"Oh," said Rarity as she nodded her head understandingly.

It was at that moment that the ground began to lightly rumble and shake. Everypony's eyes opened wide with surprise as they looked towards the remains of the White Tail Woods. Most of them were taken by surprise and even felt a slight shiver of fear at what they saw. The sight of Godzilla coming towards them was not a sight they were all use to yet and even though he was on their side, he was still four hundred feet tall and he was still a kaiju. While Rainbow Dash was able to keep calm and was actually happy to see him, the other ponies had to spot Fluttershy guiding Godzilla to feel some relief. Yet even the sight of their peaceful and compassionate friend keeping the kaiju under control wasn't enough to wipe away their fears completely.

Still, despite stepping back a few feet, all the ponies managed to keep themselves from running away. It was clear to see by the looks on their faces that they wanted to, especially Rarity. She gazed up at Godzilla in complete and total astonishment. She had not seen as much of the kaiju running around Equestria as her other friends had. Even if she had, it would be hard to imagine her amazement at Godzilla's presence would be any less than what it was. She still managed to stay by her friends' side to greet the giant monster though.

Godzilla kept walking until Fluttershy signaled for him to stop, which was about a eleven yards away from the other ponies.

"Now, you just wait here, I'm gonna go and bring my friends the rest of the way to you. Can you be a good boy and do that for me?" asked Fluttershy.

Godzilla nodded his head as he let out several soft growls telling her he would.

"Great, thank you, Godzilla," said Fluttershy. She turned and began to fly away. She stopped herself a half a second later and turned back to Godzilla. "Oh, you'd better sit down so you won't um... look so... well, um... big... and... maybe intimidating to the rest of my friends."

Godzilla nodded understandingly and slowly lowered himself down into a sitting position to which Fluttershy smiled at in appreciation.

"Thank you, Godzilla. I'll be right back," said Fluttershy.

It wasn't long after when she landed in front of her friends. While Rainbow Dash was able to look to Fluttershy and greet her when she landed, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack kept switching between looking from Fluttershy to Godzilla and back. Pinkie Pie and Rarity, however, couldn't take their eyes off of the kaiju that sat only a short distance away. His massive size made that distance seem shorter. It took Applejack and Rainbow Dash lightly nudging them to get the two in awe ponies to snap them out of it and realize Fluttershy had returned. Rarity and Pinkie Pie looked over to Fluttershy, though it was plain to see that most of their attention was still elsewhere.

"H-Hello, Fluttershy darling. Uh..."

Rarity couldn't find the right words to say at the moment, so she looked to the ponies around her for assistance. Applejack ended up being the one to step up.

"Um... yeah. So... this is... You are... He is... I mean... this all sure is something."

"Yes, it really is something indeed," Rarity added on.

"Yeah, uh..."

Applejack's luck had run out. Luckily Twilight Sparkle stepped in to make the save.

"What I think Rarity and Applejack is trying to say is that this is a lot to take in. But of all the things that could be said, I think and I'm sure everypony will agree with me on this, the first thing should be thank you, Fluttershy," said Twilight Sparkle. Fluttershy's eyes widened as a smile crossed Twilight's face. "Thank you for the part you played in securing a guardian for Equestria."

Fluttershy looked around and saw smiles from all of her friends. At that moment, the spotlight was on Fluttershy and she knew it. It would be a lie to say that this didn't frighten her at all. Fluttershy has always had a bad case of stage fright. However, this time she wasn't so bothered by her stage fright, one of the reasons being that these were her friends. They were a group of ponies she's known personally and loved for years. Another possible reason could've been that standing not too far away was Godzilla, another friend of hers and certainly the most unique.

For these reasons, Fluttershy didn't pay much mind to her stage fright and even actually felt good about herself at the moment.

"Thank you all for thinking and saying such kind things. Although honestly, I think it could've just as easily been any other pony to find Godzilla and befriend him. It might've taken longer and I'm really happy it was me, but I still think it could've been somepony else. Godzilla is just that lovable and easy to get along with," said Fluttershy.

Everypony else looked around at each other in amusement at Fluttershy's modesty.

"Maybe," said Rarity.

She then looked over to Pinkie Pie, who added in, "Or maybe not."

"Yeah, I gotta go with them on this, Flutters. There's no way in Equestria anypony could've gotten in so good with G Man like you have," said Rainbow Dash.

"They're right, Fluttershy," said Twilight Sparkle as she walked up closer to the yellow pegasus mare. "I can't quite explain it, but somehow it does seem like if anypony should've meet Godzilla first, it should've been you. It's not just the fact that you can talk to animals either. You have so many other qualities about you that make you special and it's those qualities that make you the perfect pony for the part you played with Godzilla. In a way it was like it was always suppose to be you. That it was meant to be you."

Fluttershy looked around at the rest of her friends who all nodded their heads in agreement of Twilight Sparkle's words. Seeing all her friends gathered around her and being so supportive after all that's happened recently made Fluttershy feel so overcome with emotion that she couldn't take it.

"Oh, you all are just the best friends anypony could ever have! And I'm just sooo happy that I'm that anypony!" Fluttershy exclaimed as tears fell out of her eyes.

She didn't waste another word, instead running up to her pals, followed by them embracing each other in a group hug. There was a sort moment of silence where everypony wore a smile on their face as they hugged. It was the first moment in several days where they could just step back and truly feel relaxed as they basked in the company of each other. These moments were what made it all seem worth it to these mares who made up the Mane Six. They probably hugged each other for a full minute before they were able to get a hold of themselves and release their hug.

"And now, if you don't mind, I have someone who wants to meet all of you," said Fluttershy.

Except for Rainbow Dash, everypony else let a small hint of concern slip past their facial features. They knew what Godzilla had gone through for Equestria, however, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash having described it to them. Also, Fluttershy did explain to them his undying desire for friendship, so they knew it was the least they could do. They just weren't sure if they could do it with a straight face. They were still gonna try though.

"Well, then let's not keep him waiting," said Twilight Sparkle.

"S-s-s-Sure... let's go, uh... meet the big guy," said Applejack.

"Y-Yes, indeed. ...I'm sure he will be... absolutely delightful."

"Oh, he is, Rarity, trust me," said Fluttershy.

"I'll tell you one thing, he sure is awesome," said Rainbow Dash.

"I'll bet he put the animal in 'party animal'! Let's met Mr. Zilly! La, la, la, la, la!" Pinkie Pie let out before she began hoping her way towards Godzilla.

"Well, at least Pinkie seems excited."

"We all are, Fluttershy... but we're all really nervous, too," said Twilight Sparkle.

"I... guess I can understand that."

Twilight placed a hoof supportively on Fluttershy's back. The creamy yellow pony turned to her purple friend and saw she was smiling. Fluttershy smiled back in appreciation and then led her friends up to meet Godzilla. Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack got more nervous with each step they took closer to the monster. Nothing was said at first when the ponies finally stood before Godzilla. The group of ponies had to take a moment to gaze up in awe at the amazing presence Godzilla had.

Fluttershy caught a glance of the look on Godzilla's face. She had seen him express so many emotions through his facial features that she never would've guessed in her wildest dream a monster like him could show. The emotion Fluttershy saw on his face at that moment was among the most surprising. Godzilla looked as nervous as a sinner in church while he looked down at the ponies around him. They stared up equally nervous, though for different reasons. The quiet gazing went on for several seconds, everyone feeling extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

Fluttershy decided she would start the introductions and hopefully break the uneasy tension in the air. She flew up until she was part way between Godzilla and the other ponies. Then she cleared her throat and began speaking.

"Um... girls, allow me to properly introduce you to Equestria's guardian kaiju and my very good friend, Godzilla," said Fluttershy said as she raised a hoof to the sitting kaiju.

Godzilla let out a low greeting roar as his facial features became much more friendly and inviting. Fluttershy's face lit up as she giggled out at what the giant monster said. She then turned her head to her friends.

"He says, 'hi' and that he is very pleased and honored to meet you all," Fluttershy translated.

The group of ponies looked on in disbelief. They just couldn't believe all this was happening. One of their most timid friends was acting as interpreter to a giant monster. He would scare the most viscous of dragons and she was acting as though he was just another pony. Even more than that, at times she was acting like he was a puppy. But they didn't wish to be rude to either Fluttershy or Godzilla, him for a particular set of reasons. To that end they tried to put on warm and welcoming expressions for him. Pinkie Pie even managed to wave a hoof. This excited Godzilla, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash, all of them hoping this meant they were making progress. Fluttershy tried to keep it up, flying back down to her pony friends and walking up next to the princess of the group.

"Godzilla, this is one of the ponies that was responsible for bringing you here. This is Princess Twilight Sparkle," said Fluttershy.

Godzilla let out several growls as he slightly bowed his head which made Twilight Sparkle's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Did you teach him that?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

"Not really. I just explained to him the role of a princess. I guess he figured out the right thing to do in the presence of one for himself," said Fluttershy with a big smile. The two of them looked back up at Godzilla when he moaned out a roar. "He also wanted to thank you for the part you played in bringing him to Equestria."

"Really?! Even though it was just to have him fight other monsters on our behalf?!" asked Twilight Sparkle, her face conveying her surprise.

Godzilla moaned out another roar, which Fluttershy then translated.

"He says, 'yes', because if it weren't for that, he probably never would've encountered a race as peaceful and as lovable as ours and probably wouldn't have gotten befriend anyone like me. Because of how peaceful we have been thus far, he says his more than willing to stand up and defend us. He also said he'd like to be friends with the rest of you too, if you want," said Fluttershy.

Twilight Sparkle looked up at Godzilla with even greater surprise than before. While her face was utter amazement, Godzilla's was more akin to sincerity and compassion. Twilight's face changed to a big, accepting, and gracious smile. Seeing this made everyone around feel more warmth and happiness than they were before. This included Godzilla himself.

"Thank you for your kind words... Godzilla. ...I'd be more than honored to call you my friend," said Twilight Sparkle.

Godzilla's eyes widened as he was unable to keep from roaring out in joy. Everypony was taken aback by the kaiju's sudden outburst, their face's conveying surprise as their bodies braced against the vibrations of the roar. Once the roar past Godzilla looked down at the Mane Six, having realized what he did as his bore a slightly embarrassed look.

"Basically, he said thank you," said Fluttershy.

"Yeah, I kind of figured," said Twilight Sparkle.

Everypony let out a chorus of laughter. This surprised them, as did a sudden comfort they all now felt. Somehow it was now as though they weren't standing in front of a giant monster, but another one of Fluttershy's animals. They didn't understand it, but the ponies welcomed it. Godzilla was happy about it as well, feeling the Mane Six's new calm radiating off of them. Fluttershy hoped the introductions would go smoother now. She flew past Twilight Sparkle and stopped at the next pony in line.

"You've already met Rainbow Dash," said Fluttershy as she held out a hoof to her fellow pegasus.

"Alright, G Man, my homie," said Rainbow Dash very enthusiastically.

Godzilla roared his appreciation while Fluttershy flew over to the next pony.

"This is Applejack. She's a really nice pony and easy to get along with," said Fluttershy.

"We all are," Applejack assured as she stepped up closer to Godzilla. "Howdy there, Godziller, it's mighty nice to finally meet Equestria's lone ranger, so to speak. I'm sure we're gonna get along just fine and be good pals."

Godzilla roared out in reply at the orange Earth pony's warm words. Fluttershy happily translated the kaiju's calls.

"He says thank you for your kind words and that it's nice to meet you, Applejack. He's sure you'll be great friends, too."

"Thank you very kindly, Godziller. ...I mean, Godzilla," said Applejack.

The King of the Monsters bore an appreciative look on his face. While it was meant for all the Mane Six, right now it was aimed at the smiling cowgirl. Fluttershy flew over to the next pony she wanted to introduce Godzilla to.

"This is Rarity. She's one of my closes, most dearest friends. ...Well, everypony here is, but she's the one I spend the most time with," said Fluttershy.

"We... We live closes together," Rarity explained in a shaky voice. "B-But I still love the extra time we get to spend together."

Rarity still had the few of the nervous shakes that come from being next to a giant monster, but she was determined to fight through them.

"She's a real generous and kind hearted pony. Rarity's truly a friend you'd want to have," said Fluttershy.

Rarity couldn't help but blush at her friend's words while Godzilla roared in reply.

"He says it's nice to meet you, Rarity. He also said that after all I told him about you and our close friendship, it's a true honor to meet you and that he knows just by looking at you that all the good things I said are true," Fluttershy translated.

"Oh, well, aren't you just an old sweet talker?" said a flattered Rarity. Godzilla just stared on with amusement. "It is an honor and privilege to meet you as well, Godzilla sir. I think what you're doing for Equestria is simply divine. It's truly splendid of you to lay your life on the line as you have."

Godzilla let out a roar to reply, which Fluttershy was quick to translate.

"He says that it was his pleasure and that right now we're all making it very worth it to him."

"Awe," said everypony at the same time.

Godzilla stared down joyously at the Mane Six who all smiled back up at him. This was the best that every individual had felt emotionally in a long time; Godzilla feeling it the most of the bunch. What made it even more great was that it was each other that was making them feel this way. Fluttershy flew over to the last of the ponies in the group to introduce her.

"And last, but certainly not least, this is Pinkie Pie," Fluttershy managed to say before her pink Earth pony friend rushed up to Godzilla at tremendous speed.

"Hi ya there, Godzilly!" Pinkie Pie shouted out as she wrapped her forelimbs around one Godzilla's toe as best as she could. "Thank you for being like a super, duper superhero out of a comic book by coming in to save the day! You should be given a reward!"

Pinkie Pie gasped when a familiar idea came to her mind.

"And that's exactly what you're gonna get! Besides being your superest, bestest friend forever, ever and ever and EVER, I'm also gonna throw you a super, mega, awesomey, awesomest, awesome thank you, hero party!" the hyperactive pony exclaimed in her special, Pinkie Pie sort of way.

While Godzilla did find much amusement in Pinkie Pie's energy and enthusiasm, he was also somewhat off put by it. He was also surprised by certain words he was unfamiliar with. So, Godzilla looked to Fluttershy and asked her about them.

"Oh, I'll tell you the rest later, bu a party is where a group gathers together and celebrates something. In this case, we'd be celebrating... well, you," said Fluttershy.

Godzilla's eyes widened while Fluttershy smiled at his reaction.

"Yeah, it's totally cool! We all gather round, eat cake, drink punch, play party games like pin the tail, and blast music that we can shake our tails and dance to all night-" Pinkie Pie ceased her in depth party description as she let out a gasp and stared at Godzilla in bewilderment. "You mean, you've never been to a party before?!"

Godzilla simply shook his head.

"You never even heard of parties before?!" Pinkie Pie pressed on.

Again, Godzilla shook his head.

Pinkie Pie gasped again as she again hugged at Godzilla's toe.

"Oh, you poor, poor thing! Nopony should have to go through life without experiencing a party or even without the knowledge of 'em," said Pinkie Pie as she stroke a hoof against Godzilla's scales. She then zoomed over to Fluttershy's side and looked up at the kaiju with a big, bright smile. "Don't you worry, Godzilly my friend, this injustice against you shall be rectified by your dear, old aunt Pinkie. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

As Pinkie Pie went through the visuals of her routine, Fluttershy looked from her to Godzilla and said, "That's her one hundred percent guaranteed, Pinkie promise. It means she'll work as hard as she can to make it come true. You should feel really honored right now, Godzilla."

Godzilla roared several times in reply. Whatever he was saying seemed to be good since it made Fluttershy's shut her eyes tight and smile brightly. The creamy yellow pony turned to her friends to translate the King of the Monsters' words hidden in his animal calls.

"Godzilla says that he is truly and deeply honored and feels blessed now that he has friends like us."

"And you can count on us to always be those kind of friends, Godzilla. Just remember in your service to Equestria, even though it may seem like it sometimes, from now on, you'll never be alone. We'll always be somewhere nearby trying to help you like good friends should," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Heck, we'll even do that when you're not fighting kaiju for us," said Applejack.

"Most certainly we will," said Rarity.

"Awe yeah!" said Rainbow Dash.

"Cross my heart-"

"I think he gets the point, Pinkie," Rainbow Dash quickly cut in.

"Hmm... yeah. I guess your right."

"It feels so good to finally share you with my friends, Godzilla, and I'm really glad you were able to become friends with them, too. Now we can all be friends together," said Fluttershy.

Everypony else around her began to let out cheers of agreement. It all got to Godzilla so much that he had to let out a roar of happiness. The Mane Six watched with amusement as the mighty kaiju displayed his positively charged emotions. When it was over, Godzilla lowered his gaze down to his new pony friends who all continued to smile at him. His incredibly friendly facial expression, body movement, and demeanor overall put them all in an even more comfortable state than they were before. Despite all that had gone bad so recently, everything seemed perfectly right at that moment.

It wasn't certain how much time had past since somepony last said something. However, after so much time of just staring at each other affectionately and letting all the emotion sink in, Fluttershy decided it was time someone started speaking up again.

"Well, I guess you met just about everyone there is to meet. Oh, except maybe Spike," said Fluttershy. Godzilla let out a questioning roar. "Oh, he's a baby dragon. He... sort of looks like you, except he's... a lot smaller and... he's purple... and he's a baby and... yeah," said Fluttershy "...There are similarities, really," she added on to reassure Godzilla.

He replied with several short roars letting her know that he believed her and that he would be very happy to meet Spike.

"Well, then maybe we can arrange for the two of you to meet," Fluttershy suggested.

"Of course, he'll probably have to meet the princesses too at some point," said Rarity.

"Yeah, and why not have him meet Scootaloo and her crusading homies?" asked Rainbow Dash. Applejack and Rarity gave their friend uncertain looks, which made her respond with one of annoyance. "What? Even after we just became friends with him suddenly he's not good enough to meet our sisters?"

"It's not that, Rainbow Dash, it's just that... well..." Applejack started.

"We'd be more than happy to make Godzilla feel like a closer friend to us by any means, but let's face it," said Rarity. "With no disrespect meant at all to you, Godzilla. However, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, he is still a giant monster. While he may not do anything to intentionally hurt anypony, having something his size around a certain numbered crowd of ponies could be dangerous."

"We can't think like that about him, Rarity. We can't have any bad thoughts in our heads about Godzilla. I did and he proved me wrong and it was wrong to think those things about him. So, we mustn't let ourselves have any doubts about Godzilla. We have to trust him better than that. If we don't, what's the point of us calling him a friend?" asked Fluttershy.

Rarity and Applejack looked at each other for a moment with thought filled expressions. It wasn't long before they became smiles aimed at Fluttershy.

"You're right, darling, you're absolutely right," said Rarity.

"Dang right! Good on ya, Fluttershy," said Applejack.

"Then it's agreed! We'll have Godzilla meet our sisters at some point soon," said Rarity.

"And he'll meet Spike, too," said Twilight.

"But when and how? How do we go on now that we know about Godzilla and befriended him? What's our next move?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"Well, when we get back to Ponyville, I'll send a letter to the princesses, telling them about Godzilla," said Twilight Sparkle. "Hopefully they'll be able to come tomorrow to meet him and we can discuss what the next move should be then. ...But first..." A smile crossed Twilight's face, "...I know a whole town of ponies that would love to know that Equestria's future is going to get a lot brighter."

Everypony else gasped when they realized what she was suggesting.

"You mean...?" Fluttershy managed to say.

Twilight Sparkle nodded her head before turning towards Godzilla as she began to walk up to him.

"Godzilla, would you like it if we introduced you to the ponies of Ponyville and potentially more friends?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

The other ponies of the Mane Six gasped out again. Excitement came across their faces and Godzilla's.

"We can take him as far in as the outer district that suffered the most damage so there's less of a chance of him causing any trouble," said Twilight Sparkle.

Everypony began to cheer and rear up on their hind legs in celebration.

"That's a great idea, Twilight. I am completely behind it," said Rarity.

"Me, too!" said Pinkie Pie.

"Me, three!" said Rainbow Dash.

"Eeyup. We're most likely to reach that district first with the route we'll probably be taken anyways," said Applejack.

"Alright, then, my little ponies, let's go!" said Twilight Sparkle.

Godzilla let out a celebratory roar before he began to stand himself up straight. Everypony had to stop for a moment and watch their new friend stand up all the way. Once he did, they all looked up at him in amazement and admiration, the fear from before now completely gone. Now, the sight of Godzilla standing tall and strong with majesty and might inspired hope in the Mane Six. Fluttershy flew up to Godzilla so she could guide him.

"Good boy, Godzilla, now remember, give our friends here a few steps to get ahead so they can walk along with you safely," said Fluttershy.

Godzilla nodded his head obediently as he let out a round of low growls. Fluttershy looked down to the ground and watched as their friends began to walk off to head home to Ponyville. After they got a good distance away, Fluttershy looked back to Godzilla and began to motion with her hooves for him to walk forward.

"Okay, you can start walking now, Godzilla. Come on, come this way. That's a good boy, yes," said Fluttershy as she started flying with Godzilla walking after her.

She looked off into the distance with a look of joy on her face. Fluttershy then looked down at her friends that were walking on the ground. She saw Rainbow Dash flying up to her and Godzilla.

"So, Godzilla, do you know how to box?" asked Rainbow Dash.

Godzilla looked at her in confusion and then turned to Fluttershy for an answer.

"Oh, boxing is a physical competitions held for entertainment that has to do with two ponies punching each other," Fluttershy explained. "I personally don't care for it or really for sports as a whole, but boxing is a set of skills that could be beneficial to your fighting other kaiju."

"Don't worry, big guy, I'll teach you. Oh, and then I'll teach you to wrestle!"

As Rainbow Dash continued to bombard Godzilla with endless suggestions of combative sports she could teach him, Fluttershy could only smile and shake her head in amusement. Then she flew down until she was hovering a few feet above Twilight Sparkle.

"Thanks, Twilight," said Fluttershy.

"No problem, Fluttershy. The first step for many friendships is showing how much you trust someone," said Twilight Sparkle as she looked over to Applejack. The Earth pony winked back at her, the both of them remembering their first adventure with the rest of their friends as a group. Twilight Sparkle turned back to Fluttershy and said, "What better way to show someone you trust them than by inviting them to your home to meet your family?"

With that, the Mane Six, alongside their newest friend, Godzilla, hurried along to Ponyville.

Several ponies were gathered at the edge of Ponyville, staring off intensely in the direction of White Tail Woods. These ponies were the family members of those who ran off to help put out the fire. Among these ponies was a baby dragon, the only one to live amongst ponykind. Spike stood close by the likes of Granny Smith, Big McIntosh, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Babs Seed. They all stood by each other amongst an even bigger crowd waiting for their family and friends to come back home.

Granny Smith and Big Mac saw Applejack off when she volunteered to help out with the fire, but not Applebloom. They didn't have the heart to tell her until Applejack was already gone. Applebloom was with her two friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo when she received the news. To say the least, it was devastating for her to hear. It wasn't made any easier when they saw the ponies who went out to stop the fire come back and Applejack was not among them. It was even worse when Spike came running up, asking if Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity had come back with the crowd of ponies. The others had not known they had gone after Applejack, so Spike had to quickly explained it to them.

Hearing this news and realizing none of them had shown up yet made them ask the chief fire pony if he had seen any of them or anypony matching their description. He regretfully said he had not seen any such ponies since he left the hot zone and the Wonderbolts came in and put out the fire. Since then, the group has stood just out in the abandoned and demolished outer district of Ponyville with heavy hearts, concerned, thoughts, and uncertain expressions. They wanted to keep hope, but it was getting harder to do so.

But their nerves were settled some when Sweetie Belle spotted movement past the crowd of reunited ponies that surrounded them.

"LOOK!" the young unicorn filly shouted out as she pointed a hoof.

The ponies in her group and even some ponies in the bigger group's eyes widened as they stared off intensely into the distance. It didn't take them all long to spot Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie walking towards them. Everypony's face lit up as they began to make their way to their returning friends and family, who did the same. When the two groups united, everypony gave out hugs all around while speaking at the same time about how happy they were to see each other again. Those who had been waiting also mentioned that they were glad to see the returning ponies were unharmed.

Despite the amount of emotion in the group, they all managed to calm themselves down and take a breather. They all kept the joyful smiles on their faces though.

"It's really great to have y'all back," said Applebloom.

"Darn tootin'. Y'all just about gave my older ticker a ringing it ain't looking for. I'm too old to have to worry about stuff like that."

"We're all very sorry about that, Granny, especially me," said Applejack.

"But your ticker might want to brace itself," said Twilight Sparkle.

Everypony except the others of the Mane Six gave the alicorn a questioning look.

"What're you talking about, Princess Twilight?" asked Granny Smith.

"You'll see soon, right after I've given the introduction."

Everypony looked even more confused than before. They turned to Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity, but they just responded with reassuring smiles. Twilight Sparkle walked out six feet in front of the crowd of ponies who were all celebrating being reunited.

"Attention, ponies of Ponyville! Can I have everypony's attention please?!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed as loud as she could.

It turned out to be enough as everypony turned and gave her their undivided attention.

"Thank you. I'm about to introduce you to someone really important. It isn't another princess or someone like that, but in these dark times, it maybe someone even more important. Now, I know the sight of him is going to be frightening to most of you at first sight. But believe me, his presence is actually a sign of hope for all of Equestria. So, please don't run away when you see him coming. No matter how much you want to run when you see him coming, please don't. It's very important we make him feel welcomed and that he's among friends."

Everypony in the crowd muttered amongst themselves before turning their attention back to Twilight Sparkle and waited for the big reveal of whoever she was talking about. The princess turned her back to them and used her horn's magic to send up a big light into the air. Shortly after, everypony felt a small tremor in the ground. Its rumbling got louder and harder with each passing seconds, making everypony start to feel concerned. A few seconds later, at least in their minds' eyes, those concerns were justified by what they saw.

It looked so small from far away, but the crowd knew that if they could see it from that distance that it had to be huge. This was proven true by the monster's increasing size with each few steps he took. It wasn't long before he started looking bigger with just one step he took closer to them. Almost everything about this monster so far brought out the greatest fears in everypony apart of the crowd that did not yet know him.

"Now, everypony, remember what I told you about running," said Twilight Sparkle.

The majority of the crowd stared at her with bewilderment. This was the being she was talking about before? It seemed to be so as she and her friends seemed rather relaxed as the monster approached. Their family members did not share in this enthusiasm. In fact, their faces matched those of the other ponies in the crowd. Despite how sure Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie seemed to be, their friends were just as scared as those around them. The collective fear in the crowd got so bad that a few ponies defied the princess's request and began to make a run for it.

They didn't get far though, for Twilight Sparkle, with an annoyed look on her face, used her magic to teleport them back into the crowd. It was only small moments later that the monster had moved into the wrecked area of Ponyville and past several scattered piles of rubble and debris. He stopped about thirteen yards away from the crowd.

"Hey, look, it's Rainbow Dash!" said a surprised Scootaloo.

The crowd followed where she was pointing and gasped in disbelief.

"Fluttershy's up there, too," said Sweetie Belle.

Those that had found their voices back, which wasn't a lot of them, began to whisper amongst themselves as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash gently lowered themselves down from their monster friend's side and towards the ground. When they landed, the two pegasi made their way through the crowd to their friends nearby. Fluttershy stopped for a moment and looked up to her kaiju friend. Most of the ponies probably couldn't see it, but it was plain to Fluttershy who saw the nervous and concern etched out across the monster's face.

He looked around at the crowd, seeing all the fear his mere presence inspired in those ponies. When his gaze fell upon Fluttershy, she bore a smile to try and reassure him. Seeing how sure his closest friend was actually managed to calm the monster's nerves a little. He exhaled a deep breath and relaxed himself as he stood and waited patiently. Seeing that he was doing better, Fluttershy turned back to her friends and embraced them as they greeted her.

Rainbow Dash saw Scootaloo running towards her and caught her in a tight hug.

"I'm so glad you're alright!" said Scootaloo.

"Thanks, squirt. It's good to see you again, too," said Rainbow Dash.

The two shared a quick smile before murmurs of the crowd made them turn their attention over to the giant monster in front of them. Twilight Sparkle had moved up closer to the kaiju, much to the shock of the crowd. It also caused a great deal of concern for the alicorn princess. It came to the point that Spike, despite all the fear pint up in his baby dragon body, tiptoed his trembling self closer to Twilight so that he could be there for her, no matter what happened. He didn't take his eyes off the monster for one second he walked.

"T-t-t-t-Twilight," said Spike in a shaky voice.

"Don't worry, Spike, he's on our side," Twilight Sparkle reassured her friend. She then turned her attention to the crowd. "Everypony, you all know to well by now that Equestria has been suffering the most its ever suffered in modern times the last few days. I don't need to remind you that we ourselves felt some of that suffering; our whole town did. This suffering came at the claws of giant monsters we call kaiju. With their massive size and unearthly power, it seemed like we didn't even have a prayer of stopping them.

"But salvation is here in a form similar to that from which we must be saved. Myself, the other princesses, and some others got together and cast a spell to bring forth another kaiju, but one that was good and pure of heart. To fight monsters, we brought in a monster of our own. Everypony, I am here to tell you that monster is here in Equestria. He's right here now in front of all of you."

Twilight Sparkle raised her hoof to the kaiju behind her.

"Here he is! This is Equestria's guardian kaiju! It's knight in shinning armor! This kaiju has volunteered to be our defender because he is that good of a soul! And in return for this, he only asks one thing: that we all show him the same friendship we show each other everyday. Me and my friends have already pledged our friendship to him, now it's your turn. Everypony, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you, our savior and friend to all of Equestria, GODZILLA!"

Everypony gasped in amazement as they looked up at Godzilla with a new line of thoughts and emotions running through them. But what absolutely flabbergasted everyone, even those who knew Godzilla, was when the giant raised his mighty hand and began to wave as if to say, 'hello'. All the ponies stood their staring with stunned silence, none of them believing what they saw or knowing how to react. Godzilla saw the hesitation from the crowd and start to feel some of his nervous emotions start to return. But then, unexpectedly, a pegasus pony flew out of the crowd.

Everypony let out hushed gasps as they saw the gray mare fly up to Godzilla. It was Derpy Hooves, having been able to recover enough to fly again. Everyone watched curiously and with a hint of fear as the mare flew up to the kaiju. Once she was flying in front of his face, Godzilla put on his friendly expression and slightly tilted his head to the side. Derpy had her usual goofy and life loving grin on her face as she stared at Godzilla. Then, only a split second later, Derpy Hooves reached behind her and pulled out a muffin that was even bigger than she was. This surprised everyone, including Godzilla.

"You like muffins, bro?" asked Derpy as she held out the baked good.

Godzilla stared with surprise before it turned into a look of appreciation. He opened his mouth a little bit and allowed Derpy Hooves to place the huge muffin inside. He ate the muffin as he looked upon Derpy with gratitude. It was shortly after that when applause began to build up in the crowd, followed by loud cheers. Twilight Sparkle, Godzilla, and their friends looked around them at the smiling, cheering ponies with relief and joy at the reception the Alpha Predator was getting. As Derpy Hooves flew back down to the crowd, Godzilla couldn't help but roar out in celebration.

"Ponies of Ponyville, I promise you, we will be released from the threat of the kaiju!" Princess Twilight Sparkle exclaimed for all to hear with a beaming grin on her face. "And it will be by Godzilla's hands that we are saved. I know it may seem hard for you to believe giving what we've already gone through and since it is only one kaiju on our side against several. It is understandable. You have your fears that may become reality, but for now we have Godzilla, which is reality!"
