Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Battle at West Beach

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It was the middle of the afternoon on a sunny day, which saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders navigating their way through the Everfree Forest. Yes, the young fillies had indeed managed to make it outside of Ponyville and into the formally dangerous forest land. However, despite the dangers of the forest being mostly muted by the wildlife having moved on, surely this was still not an environment the fillies' older sisters would want them traveling through alone. The reason they didn't stop it from happening was because they were unaware of it. The Cutie Mark Crusaders had not told their sisters or anypony about what they were planning to do that day.

Because of this, everypony it would matter to probably figured they were just hanging out at their clubhouse or running around Ponyville like usual. Instead, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were snooping around in the Everfree Forest trying to retrace the path they took to meet Godzilla the day before. Despite all the fun and excitement that came out from meeting the great kaiju yesterday, the Crusaders just didn't get enough and wanted to hangout with Godzilla even more. The only problem was that they couldn't seem to find the exact directions they took. They had come to a complete stop.

"Are you sure it was this way, Scootaloo?" asked Applebloom with an uncertain look on her face.

"Sure I'm sure," said Scootaloo with a confident look on her face that matched her tone. She then turned back to the path and examined it for a little bit before she whispered to herself in a not so confident voice, "I think."

"I don't know," said Sweetie Belle. "Honestly, I don't think we should've even tried going to see Godzilla without bringing our sisters along."

"What's the big deal?" asked Scootaloo. "We already agreed that if we had asked them, they would've said yes anyways. So rather than bother them with it, we decided to just go ahead by ourselves. So what's the problem?"

"Well, I really don't think they would've mind coming along with us at all," said Sweetie Belle.

"Me neither," said Applebloom. "If anything, I think they would've loved to come with us to see Godzilla again. They seemed to be having a great time yesterday just like we were."

"Well, yeah, that's true," Scootaloo admitted. "But still, as much fun as we had yesterday with everypony else, I still think we could use some time with Godzilla where it's just us."

"Well, if we had told them and they came along, then at least we would've gotten better directions how to get to where Godzilla lives," said Sweetie Belle.

"Hey!"

Scootaloo looked back at Sweetie Belle slightly angered.

"It's true, Scoots," said Applebloom. "We'd been walking for a while and then we suddenly came to a complete stop because none of us remembered the rest of the way to go. Face it, we're lost."

"We are not lost!" Scootaloo protested. "I still know where Godzilla lives... I'm just having a little bit of trouble remembering it is all. Just give me a little bit and it'll come back to me. Now... let's see... It was right..."

Scootaloo looked around for a little bit longer, her eyes and head zipping around as she desperately tried to spot something that looked familiar. Then her eyes landed on a log laying in front of several large bushes. This image sparked a bit of familiarity in her mind. Scootaloo didn't give it one more thought. Instead, she ran towards it as fast as she could.

"It's this way, come on, guys!" Scootaloo yelled out as she began to run.

"Scootaloo, wait!" Applebloom called out as she and Sweetie Belle reached out a hoof towards their running friend.

Scootaloo did not heed her friends' worries and ran on until a certain point where she felt confident enough to jump up into the air. She ended up sailing over the log and into the bushes behind it. Unfortunately, soon after the sounds of a collision rang through the air. There was both the sound of Scootaloo crashing into someone and then the yelps of both Scootaloo and whoever she collided with.

"SCOOTALOO!" Applebloom and Sweetie Belle both shouted.

They ran over as fast as they could to check on their friend. They climbed over the top of the log and rushed through the bushes. They saw their friend lying on the ground in a daze. Meanwhile a very familiar tail stuck out in the air, its owner's face being firmly planted in the ground. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom hurried over to Scootaloo's side to check and make sure she was okay and help her if need be.

"Scootaloo, are you alright?!" asked Applebloom.

"Are you okay, pal?" asked Sweetie Belle.

The two of them slowly pulled Scootaloo up into a sitting position as they waited for her answer.

"Uh... Wha...?" asked a still very dazed Scootaloo. "Yeah... I be fine as soon as the birdies stop flying around my head and going tweet tweety."

Scootaloo's eyes were spinning around while her head swayed from side to side. After a few seconds of this, the little pegasus pony shook her head around to shake out the cobwebs. Once she was mostly clearheaded again, Scootaloo looked around her.

"What did I fall into?" asked Scootaloo.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders then heard a moaning coming from only a couple feet away. That was when Sweetie Belle and Applebloom remembered the tail they had seen.

"I think you mean, 'who'," said Sweetie Belle as she pointed a hoof.

"Did somepony get the license plate number?"

It was Spike, the young dragon who was the assistant to Twilight Sparkle. He resumed his moaning as he pushed himself up into a sitting position before rubbing a hand against the side of his head. Spike had a horribly throbbing headache from the collision of Scootaloo's head smacking into his. He looked around to find who had crashed into him. When his eyes fell upon the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike let out a shout of surprise, which they responded to with shouts of their own.

Neither side said anything to each other at first. Spike was surprised to find the younger sisters of his closest friends, and the love of his life, out in the middle of the Everfree Forest and that one of them knocked him to the ground. The Crusaders were just as surprised to see Spike out there in the Everfree Forest. Neither side had expected to see each other when they went out to the forest by themselves.

"Guys?" asked Spike in confusion.

"Spike?" They asked back in the same confused tone.

"What are you doing out here?" asked Spike.

"We could ask you the same question," said Applebloom.

Spike was taken aback as if he wasn't expecting that response. It was soon after that he spotted the map he was using lying on the ground. He slowly picked it up and tried to hide it out of sight. Despite trying to be discreet, the Cutie Mark Crusaders clearly saw Spike pick up the map and put it behind his back, to which he nervously chuckled.

"Look, we can stand here and play coy with each other all we want, but I think we all know why we're out here," said Scootaloo.

Everyone looked to each other for a moment before nodding their heads in agreement.

"We're all going to see Godzilla," everyone said at the same time.

"Yeah, we were on our way when we sort of... kind of... got..."

"We got lost," Applebloom said to finish Scootaloo's sentence.

Scootaloo turned an angry glare to her Earth pony friend. It was touchy for her seeing as how it was Scootaloo's directions that got them lost in the first place. However, with a sigh of defeat, Scootaloo reluctantly nodded her head.

"Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore," said Spike. "I'll see that you get to Godzilla without anymore problems. I have a map here with me that shows how to get to him. Twilight drew up yesterday after we got back from our visit with him. I was giving it a look over to make sure I was going in the right direction when..."

Spike let his last sentence trail off, which made the awkwardness of what had happened before seem to increase. Scootaloo had an embarrassed look on her face as she rubbed a hoof behind her head.

"Yeah," said everypony.

"Anyways," Spike said, trying to take focus off the awkwardness. "Since we're all going the same way, just stick with me and you won't have anymore problems."

As Spike pulled out the map with a big smile on his face, the Cutie Mark Crusaders flashed similar smiles as they gathered to take a look at the map. They were only looking at it for a few seconds when Spike's ears picked up a sound. It was very faint at first, but got louder each time he heard it. The sound was a low booming noise, which occurred only five seconds apart.

"Hey, do you guys hear that?" asked Spike.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at their dragon friend in confusion. Then they looked to each other to see if someone among them knew what Spike was talking about.

"Hear what?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"I don't hear anything," said Scootaloo.

"Me neither," agreed Applebloom.

"Just listen," said Spike. "You'll hear it soon."

The purple dragon put a hand to his ear as he kept listening for the sound. The Cutie Mark Crusaders did the same and waited to hear what Spike heard. It wasn't a long wait for them to hear the thunder-like boom for themselves. Even stranger was that they began to feel the booms as well. Whatever was making them was doing so by crashing against the ground. The booms increased in volume very quickly, as did the force of the rumbles in the earth.

All four kids' eyes widened with fear as they heard the sounds of tree branches rustling and even snapping because of something far larger moving them aside. Then came the sound of a very familiar roar. Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders looked ahead of them to see the trees being pushed away and to the side by none other than the King of the Monsters himself. Godzilla let out yet another roar as he came into full view of the four children. They all watched in disbelief and fear at Godzilla's actions, for they seemed unnecessarily aggressive and hurried. This was a far cry from the kaiju they had seen the day before who seemed so kind and calm.

What seemed even scarier still about Godzilla's rushing stomps was that they were carrying the four hundred foot giant closer to Spike and the Crusaders. He had not seen them or he surely would've stopped. Right now he was distracted by whatever drove him to go stomping around in the first place. Having realized they had gone unseen by Godzilla's eyes, Spike screamed out to his friends.

"Run! Get out of the way! Jump! Do something! Move!"

The Cutie Mark Crusaders didn't need to be told twice. Both they and Spike ran off to the edge of the path and made a leaping jump into the wild brush of the forest. Godzilla's mighty foot came crashing down seven seconds later where the kids had been standing. Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders poked their heads out of the bushes and looked behind them as Godzilla's foot lifted back up into the air. They watched as Godzilla moved on, his tail dragging behind him. Just as the end of Godzilla's tail came into view, it flung up in the air and came crashing back down.

This sight stunned the children watching nearby, but not as much as the after effect of the ground rumbling it caused. Once the ground stopped shaking and Godzilla was out of sight, Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders ran back out onto the now much wider path and watched as their kaiju friend walked on. They both saw and heard trees still being pushed aside, as well as feeling and hearing the rumble of Godzilla's feet against the ground. The kids all saw Godzilla's spike covered back and his tail, which flung up in the air and crashed back down yet again. They watched as the King of the Monsters got further and further away.

It was at this time that Spike let out a gasp as his eyes widened in realization.

"He's heading for Ponyville!" exclaimed Spike.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped as their eyes widened. However, at that moment they watched Godzilla slightly change direction so that he was no longer directly following the path. He broke his way through even more trees of the Everfree Forest.

"Now he's heading... slightly north west," said Applebloom.

"He could still hit town going that way," said Scootaloo.

"He could, but I don't think he will," said Spike.

"Huh?" Scootaloo and Applebloom both asked at the same time.

"I'm with Spike here," said Sweetie Belle. "I don't think Ponyville's his target."

Everypony then remembered the split second glance they were able to get of Godzilla's expression. They remembered the intensity and determination on his face. It was akin to that of a warrior, the kind of which they heard Godzilla was when he had to be. He was on a warrior's hunt, the fillies and the young dragon could tell that for sure.

"Well, even if Ponyville's not his target, we still got to tell Applejack and the others about it," said Applebloom.

"She's right, this is something Twilight and everypony else will want to know about," said Spike. "We've got to head back to town and warn them now!"

"Assuming they don't find out about it for themselves first," said Scootaloo.

"Let's go!" exclaimed Sweetie Belle.

With that, Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders ran back to Ponyville as fast as they could. Though they doubted they could get to town before Godzilla and everypony else knew about it, they still felt they had to at least try to get there and tell the Mane Six themselves. As they ran for Ponyville, the group of children couldn't help but wonder what had set Godzilla off on his way so aggressively.


WEST COAST BEACH

Rainbow Dash laid on her back impatiently as her head hung off the end of the cloud she was laying on. Said cloud only floated two or three feet off the ground. Rainbow Dash's face matched the impatient mood she had at the moment. She had been laying like that cloud for a long while, say about forty minutes or so. She only went on like that for a few more seconds before letting out an exasperated sigh.

"We've been out here for a hundred hours, you guys!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash as she rolled off the side of the cloud and landed on the ground.

Then she walked up closer to her friends standing a few feet ahead of her.

"Rainbow Dash, we've only been out here for two hours," said Applejack.

"Either way, we've been out here a long time and it's getting late," said Rainbow Dash.

"Late?" asked Applejack in surprise.

"It's only three o' clock," said Rarity.

"Well, that's late for me," said Rainbow Dash. "I''m late for my afternoon nap."

Rarity and Applejack just rolled their eyes at their pegasus friend's complaining. The others were too busy to pay attention to all that. Pinkie Pie was randomly hoping around across the sand covered beach as she sang, "La, le, la, le, la."

In other words, she was just being Pinkie Pie.

Twilight Sparkle on the other hoof was busy looking up at the giant kaiju standing there, his feet submerged in the waters of the west ocean. As soon as the Mane Six had gotten word that Godzilla was walking around the outskirts of Ponyville, they all jumped into Twilight's hot air balloon and flew after him. It had led them to this spot on West Beach and they'd been there ever since. Twilight Sparkle had kept her eyes on him the entire time they were there. The others had all started out staring up at Godzilla as well and still would occasionally look over at him just standing there with his arms hanging at his sides. However, unlike Twilight, they were unable to keep their attention on something that just stood around and did nothing, even something like Godzilla.

They had started up small conversations, but they never went anywhere and would eventually be dropped altogether. They tried finding other things to focus on to past the time, but except for Pinkie Pie, none of them were successful. Rainbow Dash was doing stunt flying to past the time earlier, but had burnt herself out on that. Fluttershy had previously tried to talk to Godzilla and ask him for an explanation, but he didn't respond. Now she was making her back down to her friends on the beach. Once she landed, everypony else gathered around her. Pinkie Pie even ceased her hopping and rushed over to the rest of the group.

"Anything, Fluttershy?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

The pink haired mare shook her head in reply.

"No, I'm afraid not," said Fluttershy. "I tried everything I could think of. Politely asking him, saying hello, waving a hoof in front of his eyes, and even singing to him a little, but nothing seemed to work. I just couldn't get his attention. There were times where he gave little grunts and growls, but they were just animal noises with no meaning. There were also times where his eyes seemed to be shaking a little like he wanted to say something or acknowledge me in some way. But for the most part he just kept his eyes looking forward in an almost... trance-like state."

Everypony looked up at Godzilla, though they were unable to see his face both because of his height and the angle they were at. They were behind him and off to the left a little bit.

Rainbow Dash flew up to Godzilla's head and circled around it one time and examined his facial expression. She stopped right in front of Godzilla's face and examined it closer as she scratched a hoof under her chin.

"Yep, he's definitely got the derp face on him," said Rainbow Dash. Then she flew back down to the rest of her friends. "A vicious looking derp face though. He's definitely distracted by something."

"But what is it?" asked Fluttershy. "That's the question."

"What do you think it could be, Twilight?" asked Rarity.

The alicorn princess looked away from her friends and up at Godzilla. She stared at him thoughtfully for a moment before coming to a conclusion.

"He's waiting for another kaiju."

The rest of the Mane Six gasped at what Twilight was saying and at what ramifications it could have, especially for them.

"Are you sure, Twilight?"

"Yes, Applejack, I am."

"How can you be sure?" asked Rarity.

"Because, for some unexplainable reason, animals seem to have, and Fluttershy will be the first to tell you this, a sixth sense about some kinds of incoming danger.," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh, yes, it's true," said Fluttershy "They could sensing an upcoming natural disaster like a hurricane or they could be smelling an incoming predator. Most animals have sporadic moments where they can, in one form or another, sense something coming a mile away."

"So, I guess that's what happened to Godzilla, huh?" inquired Rainbow Dash.

"And I guess that something he's sensing is another kaiju?" asked Applejack.

"I'm ninety nine percent sure at this point," said Twilight Sparkle.

"And I'm guessing Godzilla decided to come out here and meet the kaiju halfway so that there's less of a chance of anypony getting hurt?" suggested Rarity.

"That's most likely the main reason, but I think there might be another one," said Twilight Sparkle.

"You mean like having a beach party to celebrate afterwards?" asked Pinkie Pie. "That's what I would do."

The others chose to ignore the Earth pony and look for what the explanation really was.

"What do you think the other reason is, Twilight?" asked Fluttershy.

"Honestly, I think what also drove Godzilla out here was his animal instinct to protect his territory," suggested Twilight Sparkle.

"Well, I guess that makes sense," said Pinkie Pie. "While Godzilla is certainly smarter than the average bear..."

"He is still an animal," Fluttershy finished.

"I guess all animals are vulnerable to those indistincts once in a while."

"It's instincts, Pinkie, but you're right," said Twilight Sparkle. "And with Godzilla being a larger animal, it isn't too much of a stretch to assume he'd have a bigger perceived territory. Now that territory is being intruded on and Godzilla happened to fall victim to his instincts to protect that territory taking over this time around."

"I guess that would explain the vicious derp face," said Pinkie Pie.

"That's all probably true, but I still think Godzilla mostly came down here because of his urge to protect us all to the best of his ability."

"Oh, no doubt, Fluttershy," said Rainbow Dash.

"Absolutely, this time it just happened to coincide with a similar animal instinct," said Twilight Sparkle. "The two drives fueled each other and put Godzilla in the state he's in now."

Everypony looked up at Godzilla once again. His position had not changed at all in all the time they had been talking. Godzilla just stood there with his tail laying at his side, and his eyes still staring out into the ocean with what looked like a hypnotized expression on his face.

"Well, at least that mystery is solved," said Rarity. "I was really starting to worry about Godzilla since he's never acted this way before. He's always been such a sweetie to us whenever we were just spending time together. He's only been a warrior when he needed to stand up against a kaiju."

"And that's just what he's doing now," said Rainbow Dash.

"It's just in a different way than usual is all," said Applejack.

Everypony looked up to Godzilla once again. The Mane Six were hoping that once this was done with, he would return to his regular self and be like he was before. In fact they weren't hoping, they knew that's exactly what would happen. Godzilla was too smart and too loving to let his animal instincts continuously control him like they were now. While it is possible instinct can take control, the Mane Six knew it was unlikely it'd ever be permanent to Godzilla. So they didn't worry about this any further.

Instead they thought about the fact that they were in the same area of beach where the first kaiju appeared. Perhaps it was not the exact same spot, but it was close enough to bring up harsh memories of that day to the minds of the Mane Six. They still remembered what it was like seeing Geon rise up out of the water and how terrifying it was. Now they couldn't help but look at Godzilla standing there on the beach and think of Geon. Their appearances were just too similar to each other. However, they still did not wish to think about Godzilla in the same way they did Geon. So, they tried their best not to.

"So, Godzilla won't come out of this trance until he meets this supposedly incoming kaiju in combat?" asked Rarity.

"Most likely," said Twilight Sparkle.

"How long do you think we'll have to wait for that, assuming that is what's gonna happen?" asked Applejack.

"Uh... guys," Pinkie Pie called out in a nervous and shaky voice. Everypony looked to the pink mare, who looked at them with an extremely worried expression on her face as she pointed a hoof out to the ocean. "I don't think it will be that long."

Everypony then turned their stares out towards the giant body of water called the West Ocean. First thing they noticed was the increase in activity with the current. It seemed to be pulling in bigger waves at a quicker and more aggressive pace. This resulted in the waves that broke against the beach splashing up several gallons worth of sea water that soaked the Mane Six.

"Oh, my fur and my mane," Rarity whined as she felt the water dripping off of her.

The rest of the Mane Six paid no mind to their friend or themselves being soaked. Their attention was taken by something further out in the water. It soon grabbed Rarity's attention as well when she heard it. She looked to see a giant splash of water fly up into the air before falling back down into the ocean it came from. The ponies' eyes all widened in shock at how aggressive the ocean water had gotten in that spot. But what brought fear to them was the sudden low moan of what sounded like a giant creature.

"Did y'all hear that?" asked Applejack.

It sounded like it came from under the water," said Fluttershy.

"Look!" Pinkie Pie cried out.

Everypony stared out with Rainbow Dash even flying up a little bit to try and see better. All of the Mane Six screamed at the sight that appeared out in the wavy waters of the ocean. It only appeared for a quick second before submerging again, but it looked like the head of something rising up out of the ocean. When the reptilian head had appeared, the same moaning roar rang out yet again.

"Did you all see that?!" asked Rarity.

"It's coming this way!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie.

The Mane Six flinched and shouted out in surprise when Godzilla suddenly let out a moaning roar of his own. The ponies all looked over at the giant kaiju and saw his body movement become aggressively antsy. Rainbow Dash flew up to get a look at Godzilla. On the way up she saw his hands slowly close and ball up into tight fists. Rainbow Dash had reached Godzilla's face and let out a gulp when she saw that all the derp she had seen before was gone. It had been replaced by the vicious determination of a warrior waiting to meet his foe in combat. The predatory glare in Godzilla's eyes and the low growls he was emitting made Rainbow Dash cautiously fly back down to the ground with her friends.

"Uh, guys, I think we'd better move," said Rainbow Dash.

Everypony looked out towards the ocean and saw a small part of the water bulged upward before whatever made it do so started making its way towards land.

"I can agree on that," said Applejack.

"We need to get to higher and much safer ground!" exclaimed Twilight Sparkle.

"Run, everypony!" yelled Pinkie Pie.

The Mane Six did just that as Godzilla's tail lifted up in the air and then slammed back down into the ground. The King of the Monsters prepared himself for the impending collision with his incoming foe while the Mane Six ran off the beach and onto higher grassland. The group ran a little further into the grass covered area near the beach until they were all situated under the cover of a tree. Then they watched as whatever was under the water came closer to land. It wouldn't be long before the hidden creature would reach the beach and reveal itself.

The monster slowly started to rise above the wavy and foamy waters as he approached the mainland. As it came close, it let out a roar to announce its arrival. The Mane Six all took the time to examine the exterior of the monster. To most ponies, this four legged creature would resemble a gigantic green, wingless and hornless dragon. To a human being, it would look more like an apatosaurus, except for it was clear this beast was no herbivore. This beast was out for blood and it was much bigger than a mere dinosaur. In fact, its long neck helped extend it head higher than Godzilla's.

"What kaiju is that?" asked Fluttershy.

"It's the Behemoth," explained Twilight Sparkle.

"He don't look that tough to me," said Applejack.

"Me neither," agreed Rainbow Dash. "I think G's gonna take this one easy, peasy, cider squeezy."

"You wouldn't be thinking that if you knew what the Behemoth's secret weapon was," said Twilight Sparkle.

The ponies' attention was taken by the sound of the kaiju identified as the Behemoth letting out yet another loud roar as he approached Godzilla, who responded with a roar of his own. The Alpha Predator backed up only a few feet, which brought him onto dry land. However, the Behemoth did not take this as a sign of weakness, for he knew this foe that stood before him was just as battle ready as he was, if not more. The Behemoth put a snarl on his face to try and intimidate Godzilla and let him know the Behemoth was one foe who wouldn't be backing down. However, Godzilla was not affected by this show of aggression at all.

He let a scowl cross his face as he stared a hole into the Behemoth. Godzilla watched as his opponent turned off to the side and continued walking. Godzilla turned his head slowly, his gaze following the Behemoth as he walked over to his right and started to pass him. Then Godzilla began to walk himself, following close behind the Behemoth. It wasn't long before both predators were circling each other in anticipation like two fighters waiting for the bell. During this time, neither kaiju took their eyes off each other. They kept glaring at one another the whole time they were circling.

After circling each other several times, finally the two titans stopped. The two snarled at each other as they both emitted growls that increased in volume the longer they went on. The tension in the air was so thick that you could cut it with a knife and everyone there was feeling it. The Mane Six felt it from the tree they stood under not too far away from the beach that was to become the monsters' battlefield. Fluttershy found herself unable to stand the tension and ducked her head to the ground, covering her eyes with her hooves. She did not wish to see Godzilla go into battle yet again.

But she was forced herself to raise a hoof and open an eye when she heard the sounds of the two monsters roaring at each other. Once they stopped, though, was when the brutality commenced. It started with both monsters rushing forth and slamming into each other. The collision, like similar ones with past kaiju, caused a booming sound akin to the crash of thunder. Godzilla gained the upper hand somewhat when he had wrapped his arms around the Behemoth. He did the best he could to get them wrapped tightly around his aggressive foe, while also doing his best to try and control him. This was easier said than done because the Behemoth was thrashing around and trying to press forward like he wanted to run right through Godzilla.

The Behemoth even tried to lift up his front legs and wrap them around Godzilla, but they only slipped back to the ground. For now, the Behemoth abandoned that plan and kept pushing forward. It actually seemed to start to pay off a little when Godzilla's feet slid back across the sand. This only lasted eight seconds until Godzilla used his own power to halt the Behemoth's advance. Godzilla got a few shrieks out of the Behemoth when he began digging his claws into the Behemoth's sides, while keeping his arms wrapped around him in a bear hug. Leaving deep cuts like what Godzilla's claws were carving into the Behemoth's sides usually tended to draw blood really quickly. This time was no exception to that rule.

In addition to the blood he drew, Godzilla got another advantage when he began to push the Behemoth back like he had done to him before. The dragon-like beast tried to halt Godzilla's advance. However, he found he was unable to stop Godzilla as fast as the Nuclear Leviathan was able to stop him previously. It ended up taking the Behemoth almost twenty seconds before he could stop Godzilla from pushing him backwards. Even after this, though, the two kaiju continued to press against each other, both using their body mass and strength to try and the make the other stumble or fall. Godzilla had the extra advantage of his claws still being dug deep into the Behemoth's flesh.

As the two continued to fight, the Behemoth tried to think of how he could break up his current struggle with Godzilla. It was only seconds later when he thought of how he could do so and quickly put his plan into action. The Behemoth started by placing his front left foot on top of Godzilla's right knee. More correctly, he slammed it down and tried to dig his talons into Godzilla's flesh. The Behemoth lifted his other front foot and slammed it down on Godzilla's hip and upper thigh area on his left side. Then the Behemoth speedily followed up and lifted his front left foot off of Godzilla's knee and slammed it down on his chest. It was at this point, Godzilla started to feel more of a strain holding back the girth of the Behemoth since he was climbing up the front of Godzilla's body.

The struggle of Godzilla holding up against the Behemoth's body mass went on for several seconds before the dragon-like monster changed up tactics. He pushed his feet off against Godzilla's body, sending Godzilla stumbling back while the Behemoth went sailing backwards on his hind legs. Both kaiju recovered, but it was the Behemoth who got the next move when he came falling forward and slamming his front feet into Godzilla's chest. The thunder clap-like sound this attack made echoed on for several yards. This noise greatly concerned the Mane Six, who were still watching from a far and praying for the best possible outcome of this fight for Godzilla.

It wasn't looking like that would happen, though, for Godzilla was reeling from the blow to his chest and trying desperately to catch his breath. But even when he was able to recover, the Behemoth was there and waiting with another attack. The Behemoth swung his tail around and slammed it into Godzilla's side. The attack rocked the kaiju king hard and sent him stumbling backwards. Then the Behemoth swung his head against Godzilla's, knocking them both for a loop. The Behemoth was able to recover first and charged forward, ramming his body into Godzilla's before biting into his shoulder.

Despite Godzilla shrieking out in pain, this turned out to be a mistake for the giant Behemoth. Godzilla grabbed a hold of his foe's head and neck and dug his claws as deep into the Behemoth's flesh as he could. Then he pulled the Behemoth's head away, freeing his shoulder of the monster's jaws before he could draw blood. Then Godzilla began biting into the Behemoth's long neck as hard as he could in retaliation. Despite how hard he bit, all of the Behemoth's struggling allowed his neck to slip out of Godzilla's jaws before they could get a solid grip. Godzilla tried several more times to bite into the Behemoth's neck, but was met with the same results each time, though he was able to leave bite marks wherever he bit.

Godzilla slightly changed tactics by shoving his hand up into the Behemoth's face before charging forth and clamping his fang filled mouth down upon the Behemoth's left shoulder. The four legged kaiju cried out in pain, his eyes as wide as they could be as he felt every ounce of pressure Godzilla was putting into his bite. The Behemoth tried pulling away to free himself, but it also work against him. It caused even more pain to him having his flesh in Godzilla's mouth being pulled by two opposing forces. Godzilla's assault got more aggressive when he began shaking his head around like a wild animal. All the struggling culminated in the Behemoth pulling free of the grasp by Godzilla's jaws... but without a piece of himself.

The Behemoth looked down at the bleeding hole he now had in his shoulder and screamed in both pain and horror. When the Behemoth looked back to Godzilla, his horror stricken eyes were only struck further. Hanging from Godzilla's mouth was that missing piece of flesh from the Behemoth. Rather than eat it, Godzilla instead chose to taunt the Behemoth by spitting that piece of flesh into his foe's face. When it dropped from his face and to the ground, the Behemoth looked down at it with the same horror filled shock as before. However, as he stared at it, that shock turned into furious rage. The sight of his crimson flesh laying before him made the Behemoth's blood boil like magma.

The Behemoth lifted his head into the air and let out a roar of anger before charging towards Godzilla at full speed. Despite trying to prepare himself, Godzilla was unable to stop the Behemoth from running up and ramming the top of his head into Godzilla's throat. As the Atomic Saurian grasped at his throat, the Behemoth rammed his body into Godzilla's before standing up on his hind legs. He then proceeded to slash his front foot talons across both Godzilla's chest and the sides of his neck. This slash and stab attack lasted for a few seconds before Godzilla was able to use his great strength to shove the Behemoth away.

Godzilla did not take anytime to check on his wounds, instead charging forward to go on the attack. He called on his recently acquired boxing skills that were taught to him by Rainbow Dash. He swung his right fist across the Behemoth's face, closely followed by his left fist. Godzilla repeated this combination of punches across Behemoth's face over and over again, making a booming noise with each mighty right and left cross punch.

"Yeah, that's it, G!" Rainbow Dash cheered from far away. "Just like I taught ya! A right! and a left! And a right! And a left!"

Rainbow Dash excitedly punched out her front hooves in time with the punches she was calling out.

"You can do it, Godzilla!" Applejack called out. "Give that Behemoth thing a good what for now! Ya hear?!"

"Send that piece of kaiju filth back to the pit he and the others crawled out of!" said Rarity.

"Go Godzilla!" called out Pinkie Pie.

"We believe in you!" called out Twilight Sparkle. "Don't give up!"

A determined expression crossed Fluttershy's face that matched those of her friends after a couple seconds delay.

"You can do it, Godzilla!" called out Fluttershy.

Throughout all the cheering, Godzilla had been swinging his stronger than steel fists across the Behemoth's face. After laying in so many punches to his opponent's face, Godzilla decided to end his volley of punches with a massive uppercut into the Behemoth's lower jaw. The force of the final blow sent the Behemoth's head snapping into the air. The Behemoth reeled around from the fatigue of being punched so hard, so many times. Godzilla thought of what to do next as he watched his opponent stumble around.

He was not expecting it when the Behemoth snapped out of his daze and quickly charged forward. The Behemoth stopped only inches in front of Godzilla and stood up on his hind legs and kicked his front feet into Godzilla's chest, sending him stumbling backwards. But Godzilla responded right away by charging forward and ramming his body into Behemoth's. He too stumbled back from the strike dealt to him by his opponent, but the Behemoth soon recovered and went on the assault.

The Behemoth swung his tail across Godzilla's face four times, each blow even harder than the last. These strikes, though they stunned Godzilla, did not make him fall. That ended up working against him when the Behemoth began biting at the sides of Godzilla's neck and throat over and over again. These bites sank the Behemoth's razor sharp teeth deep into Godzilla's flesh each time. But each bite would always end up slipping loose, so the Behemoth would keep biting to try and get a bitter grip.

Godzilla tried desperately to pull the Behemoth's mouth away from his neck. He finally got a good grip by sticking his thumbs inside the Behemoth's mouth and fish hooking them into the sides. Godzilla shoved Behemoth's head away and then lurched his own head forward and started biting at his neck. The Behemoth managed to get his mouth free of Godzilla's fish hook grips and proceeded biting at his adversary. The two titans of terror furiously and ferociously snapped and bit at each other like two rabid wolves. It was as if they had devolved into the wild animals nature had originally meant them to be.

Godzilla also used the claws on his hands to slash and scratch wounds into the sides of the Behemoth's head and neck. It proved to be a very effective advantage in the conflict. It worked so well that Godzilla didn't even have to rely on biting anymore. He just kept slashing his claws, first at the Behemoth's neck, and then he began slashing at his face. The Behemoth stopped this savage assault when he stood up on his hind legs and got his head out of Godzilla's reach. He then fell back down on all fours and ran forward, slamming his body into Godzilla's.

Godzilla retaliated by punching four uppercuts into the Behemoth's face in a right, left combo. Godzilla put some extra strength into his last uppercut, which sent the Behemoth reeling back a little. Godzilla followed up by slamming his body into the Behemoth's, which made him reel even more. When he recovered, the Behemoth struck back by swinging his tail into Godzilla's side. Although he let out a groan of pain, Godzilla was able to bounce back and respond in kind. He quickly spun around and slammed his mighty tail against the Behemoth's body. The force of the strike sent the Behemoth toppling over on his side and even made him roll across the ground one time.

The Behemoth struggled hard to get back to his feet, but even when he managed to get his two front feet under him, they were shaking badly. Godzilla saw the state his foe was in and moved quick to take advantage. As fast as he could, Godzilla stomped around to the Behemoth's right side and came stampeding, head first, into his rib area. The collision immediately sent the four legged monster crashing back down on his side. The Behemoth moaned in agony as he looked up to see Godzilla standing above him as he let out a loud roar.

Godzilla was towering over him like a predator coming in for the kill. This Alpha Predator's next move was him stomping his foot down into the Behemoth's rib area. Godzilla pressed his foot down as hard as he could to get his talons to sink deep under the Behemoth's skin. However, the King of Monsters didn't stop there. Godzilla slowly moved his foot down across the Behemoth's side. By doing this, Godzilla raked his talons down and cut long, deep wounds into the Behemoth that were gushing blood.

The Behemoth cried out in agony, while Godzilla lifted his head into the air and roared out in triumph. However, this turned out to be too soon, for the Behemoth, despite his pain, struck back against Godzilla by swinging his tail into the side of his head. The force of the blow made Godzilla's head whip downward as he let out a roar of pain and anger. The Behemoth kept up his attack by kicking his front right foot into Godzilla's stomach. The force made Godzilla hunch over in pain as he wrapped his hands over where he was kicked. Then the Behemoth kicked his back right foot into Godzilla's face, whipping his head back up into the air.

Then the Behemoth began to push himself back up onto his feet as he whipped his tail into Godzilla's hide. Once he was back up, the Behemoth swung his head around into Godzilla's for a collision of craniums. Now that he was back on his feet, the Behemoth took the time to roar into Godzilla's face to taunt him. This was a big mistake for the four legged beast, for it gave Godzilla time to light up his back spikes. The glow distracted the Behemoth long enough for Godzilla to unleash his atomic blast upon his long necked foe. The Behemoth screeched out as he felt the burning pain that came from the mighty beam of atomic power.

The force of the beam sent Behemoth stumbling back for a little bit, while Godzilla just followed him and pressed on with his beam assault. Godzilla kept firing his atomic breath across the Behemoth's body for several moments before he ceased fire. The Alpha Predator unleashed a loud, three mile roar to warn his foe about just who he was messing with. For a moment the Behemoth was actually considering backing down and retreating. He wanted to live to fight another day. However, the Behemoth did away with any plans of retreat when he remembered he still had one trick left up his sleeve. A secret weapon so to say.

To distract Godzilla, the Behemoth stretched his head forward and roared out as loud as he could, hoping to coax Godzilla into a roaring contest. It ended up working and Godzilla pulled his head back and letting out another three mile roar. Though it was clear Godzilla's was the much mightier of the two roars, it mattered not to the Behemoth, who still had yet to unleash his ultimate attack.

As the two kaiju continued their roaring match, Twilight Sparkle, who was still watching from the side with all of her friends, noticed something that made her gasp with fear.

"Do you all see that?" asked a visibly distressed Twilight.

Everypony looked for what they thought she might be referring to.

"I don't see anything," said Rainbow Dash.

"No, wait, I see it!" said an alarmed Fluttershy.

The other four ponies gasped once they saw what Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy saw.

"I see it too," said Applejack.

"I see it now," said Rainbow Dash.

"As do I," said Rarity.

"Ooh, ooh, I see it now, too!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie. "What is it?"

Twilight Sparkle didn't answer right away. She, liked the other ponies, was distracted by the ever brighter glowing white light that was forming around the Behemoth's body.

"That glow is all the power building up into the Behemoth's next attack," Twilight Sparkle explained. "When he hits critical mass, he's going to unleash an explosion from his body that's almost guaranteed to destroy anything near to the Behemoth!"

The ponies all gasped as they turned to look towards Godzilla and the Behemoth in horror. The glow around the Behemoth's body was intensifying at an unimaginable rate.

"We've got to do something to help Godzilla!" exclaimed Fluttershy.

"She's right, we've got to warn him!" said Pinkie Pie.

"No, it's too late for that," said Applejack. " Right now, we need to get ourselves to a safer place!"

"Run, everypony, run!" exclaimed Twilight Sparkle.

Rainbow Dash and Rarity grabbed Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy and turned them around to run with the rest of the Mane Six as fast as they could.

Meanwhile, Godzilla had taken notice of the Behemoth's entire body glowing and at first he did not know what to make of it. It confused him very much, so he just stared on and examined the situation. He even tilted his head to the side. Once his senses had alerted him to the impending danger, Godzilla snapped out of his confused daze and he rushed at the Behemoth as fast as he could. But it was too late.

The glow of the Behemoth's body had reached the point where it was blinding to look at before he had finally unleashed all the energy that had been built up in his body. It resulted in a huge explosion that engulfed everything around within a thirty yard radius. The force generated from the explosion caused a burst of wind and a loud rumbling shake in the ground. These two forces together were powerful enough to knock the Mane Six, who had ran several yards away, off their hooves and send them falling to the ground screaming. They could not get up right away, for the wind and the shaking ground would not let them.

It felt like somepony was holding them down against their will and shaking them from side to side. As would be expected, this was a very uncomfortable feeling for the ponies and made them feel almost helpless. However, both the ground shaking and the wind blowing did eventually die down until they had simply faded away. Once that stopped, so did the Mane Six's screaming. They all looked around as they pushed themselves back up to their hooves.

A few seconds went by before they all gasped and said the same name together.

"GODZILLA!"

Despite their better judgement telling them to do otherwise, the Mane Six turned to run and fly back towards the battlefield that was once West Beach. Everyone of those ponies were extremely worried about what might have happened to their kaiju friend after taking the blunt of the explosion. They couldn't even begin to imagine how much pain he was in after taking such a blast. Or it could be worse and Godzilla wasn't feeling anything anymore because he had been destroyed by the blast. Those ponies that were on the ground put their all into their runs, while Rainbow Dash was putting all she could into her flying. She ended up being the one to reach the scene first, with the others catching up a little bit later.

They stared on in wide eye horror at the sight before them. During their run over to this spot on the beach, they had taken notice that the environment they were returning to was not the same one they had left behind. All the green grass, the colorful flowers, and the tall trees full of leaves on long branches had been destroyed. Almost everything had been completely swept away. The grass on the ground was replaced by black blast marks and dirt. The flowers had all been burned and blown away. And the trees had been stripped of their leaves and branches. They were barely more than stumps.

It was worse and worse the closer they got to the beach and now that they were there, the sight was absolutely horrible. It was hard to see at first because there was a big cloud of smoke. However, once it cleared, the Mane Six saw a large crater on the beach that wasn't there before. It was about a hundred feet deep and three hundred feet wide and started filling up with water from the nearby ocean. What struck the Mane Six with even greater horror was what was at the bottom of the crater.

Standing there in the crater was the Behemoth and Godzilla staring each other in the face as they let out low growls. Godzilla's body showed clear signs of battle damage that weren't there before, including burns and bleeding gashes. He was also shaking hard like at any moment he could fall apart under his own weight. Despite his trembling, pain filled body feeling like it wanted to collapse, Godzilla forced himself to stay on his feet. He even lifted his head to try and roar. But the sound he released from his mouth seemed to be strained and horsed, coming out more like a growling moan than a mighty and regal roar.

And then seconds later, the King fell. Godzilla couldn't force himself to stay up anymore. His body had gave out on him. After taking such a powerful explosion at point blank, not even a kaiju as mighty as Godzilla could stand up much longer. It was amazing he was able to stand at all or even survive. Yet, despite how amazing that all is, it didn't change the fact that Godzilla was now down and in a tremendous amount of pain. This was a fact that was not lost to a certain group of ponies.

"NOOO!"

While everypony else could only stare in open mouthed and teary eyed horror at the state their friend was in, Fluttershy couldn't help but express her pain in a ear shattering scream. As she sobbed, the yellow pegasus dropped to her knees and held her front hooves up to her face as tears streamed from her eyes. Rarity sobbed as she too put her hooves to her face and leaned into Applejack's shoulder. The southern Earth pony put a hoof around her crying unicorn friend as she used the other to remove her hat from her head and put it to her heart. Twilight, and the rest of the ponies gathered around to try and comfort Fluttershy, but the truth was they were sobbing and emotionally hurting just as much.

As the Mane Six mourned their fallen friend, the Behemoth celebrated his apparent victory over said friend. He stood up on his hind legs and lifted his head to the sky before roaring the loudest roar he ever let out in his life. All the Behemoth's celebrating recaptured the attention of the Mane Six, who turned their watery eyes back into the crater. They looked on as the Behemoth came back down on all four and stared down at Godzilla's fallen form. Fluttershy and Rarity even gasped when they saw Behemoth walk up closer and then actually place a foot on the side of Godzilla's head. It appeared as though the Behemoth was going in for the kill.

"NO!" Rainbow Dash screamed as she flew up into the air. It was so loud that it even got the Behemoth's attention. "Leave him alone, you long necked bully! Back off or I'll show you a fight like you'll never ever forget if you thought he gave you trouble!"

Rainbow Dash looked around and found a small rock on the ground. She picked it up and threw it at the Behemoth. It ended up hitting him in the nose, though it did no harm at all. Rainbow Dash knew she was spouting empty threats and that she would never be a match for a creature like the Behemoth in a fight. But she wasn't about to let him hurt one of her friends either. Especially one who was down like Godzilla was. The loyal pony in her wouldn't allow it.

"Get away from him ya overgrown lizard with a rope for a neck!" spouted Applejack.

"Leave him be, you brute, or you will feel our wrath!" exclaimed Rarity, spouting more falsehoods.

"We'll let you have it, ya flat footed meany pants!" Pinkie Pie warned as she pulled out her useless party canon.

A furious expression crossed Fluttershy's face, the likes of which she never had before.

"You leave Godzilla alone... you... big... JERK!" exclaimed Fluttershy as loud as she could.

At that moment, Twilight Sparkle unleashed a beam of energy from her horn, which hit the Behemoth directly in the nose. It was completely useless, though, as it did no harm to the Behemoth whatsoever. Instead he just stood there looking as annoyed as ever as he gazed down at the ponies that were little more than a nuisance to him. He had every intention of dealing with this nuisance in the most extreme way. Like the kaiju before him, the Behemoth always handled his problems with death. It would be no different when he dealt with these ponies before him.

Unfortunately for the Behemoth, his annoyance at the Mane Six distracted him from the real problem. Despite the pain he was in, Godzilla had started healing almost instantly. While he wasn't anywhere near one hundred percent yet, Godzilla still felt good enough to start fighting again. At this point, if he wanted his friends and him to make it out of this battle alive, he had no choice. Because of this ultimatum, Godzilla continued to fight, starting with a sneak attack.

He kicked his foot into the side of one of the Behemoth's back legs. The dragon-like kaiju cried out as he felt the leg that was kicked buckle out from underneath him and he slipped a little. Before the Behemoth could retaliate at all, Godzilla fired his atomic blast up at him, which drew a cheer from the Mane Six watching nearby.

"He's alive!" Pinkie Pie cried out in joy.

"Oh, thank Celestia!" said Rarity.

"He's alright," Fluttershy whispered as tears fell from her eyes. "He's okay."

"Yeah, but that means the fight's back on," said Applejack.

"Move, move, move!" called out Twilight Sparkle.

"Move your flanks or kiss them goodbye, everypony!" shouted Rainbow Dash as she flew above her running friends.

Meanwhile, Godzilla had gotten himself back onto his feet. He was still shaking a lot and he was still in a tremendous amount of pain, but Godzilla was not about to let that stop him when it counted the most. The Behemoth and Godzilla both caught sight of each other, but it was Godzilla who would get the next move in. He unleashed his atomic furry concentrated in one powerful beam at the Behemoth yet again. The force of the beam and the sparks and flames it was making across his body made the Behemoth back away as he moaned in agony.

Godzilla paid no mind to these moans and charged forward at his foe. First his swung his closed right fist across the Behemoth's face, then slashed the claws of his opened left hand across it. The Behemoth stood up on his hind legs to attack, but was cut off when Godzilla fired his atomic breath into his underbelly. This caused the Behemoth to cry out as he fell back down onto all fours. He had to struggle with all his might to see to it that his feet didn't slip out from underneath him.

Godzilla came forth and grabbed the Behemoth's by his throat before swinging his right fist into the Behemoth's lower jaw for an uppercut. He stumbled back a little bit before recovering and going on the attack by swinging his tail into Godzilla's side. While he had taken the full blunt of the attack, Godzilla had also managed to catch his opponent's tail in his hands. The Behemoth's eyes widened as he looked at the sight of his tail in Godzilla's hands. Then he looked to Godzilla, who was staring at him with a evil looking smile on his face.

Before the Behemoth could do anything else, Godzilla used his incredible strength to lift him up in the air by his tail. He lifted the Behemoth over his head and slammed him down onto the other side of the crater, causing the ground to rumble and shake. Godzilla didn't even wait a second before pulling on the Behemoth's tail and launching him into the air again. This time, Godzilla let go in mid throw and sent the Behemoth sailing into open air. The Mane Six heard the wind gust the Behemoth's body made as he was flying through the air, which made them stop running and turn around to watch in amazement.

Just as the Behemoth was starting to come down, Godzilla fired his atomic blast at him. The beam propelled his body even higher into the sky while igniting several sparks and explosions across it as well. After a few seconds, Godzilla stopped firing his atomic breath and let the Behemoth crash into the ground several yards away. While the Mane Six had felt the harsh rumbling of the ground, Godzilla paid it no mind and walked out of the crater towards his fallen foe.

The Behemoth laid on his back completely motionless for several moments before finally letting out a whimper of pain. His body trembled when he tried to roll over onto his belly. He got some unwanted assistants when Godzilla had reached him. The first thing he did was kick his foot into the Behemoth's side and knock him over onto his belly. The Behemoth's legs shook like crazy as he tried desperately to push himself back up.

Again he received unwanted assistants when Godzilla came up behind him and grabbed his tail again. Then Godzilla used his incredible strength to hoist the Behemoth into the air before pulling him back down and slamming him into the ground. Then Godzilla repeated this attack four more times, lifting the Behemoth up into the air by his tail and then slamming him down again.

"Ooh, that's gotta hurt," said Applejack.

"Well, he ain't done yet," said Pinkie Pie as she pointed a hoof.

Indeed, Godzilla had one more tail lift in him. He lifted the Behemoth up into the air, but rather than slam him back down, Godzilla lifted him up even higher than before. He lifted the Behemoth up until he was high above his head. Then Godzilla spun around and slammed him down onto his back. Despite having Behemoth down, Godzilla kept up his assault by letting off a blast of his atomic breath across the Behemoth's underbelly.

The Behemoth, barely conscious, just managed to roll onto his belly and began to push himself back onto his feet. It was a slow and painful process, but the Behemoth did eventually get back on his feet again. This was met with another atomic blast from Godzilla. This one caught the Behemoth in the side of the head, followed by a swing of Godzilla's tail into the same spot. Then Godzilla came up and, with both hands, grabbed the Behemoth by his neck. With all his strength, Godzilla lifted the Behemoth over his shoulder and threw him up into wide open air.

The Mane Six looked on with pure amazement because somehow, despite the bad condition Godzilla was in, he had managed to throw the Behemoth higher than he did before. This time, Godzilla didn't wait for the Behemoth to start falling back down to the ground. He fired his atomic breath up at the kaiju sailing through the air. When the beam hit him, the Behemoth was thrust higher and further away. He felt the great power of the beam set off explosions all over his body. This went on for nearly twelve seconds before Godzilla ceased fire of his atomic breath and let the Behemoth drop from the sky.

He ended up crashing several yards away from the beach and into the ocean. While the Mane Six were cheering Godzilla's apparent victory, the kaiju himself wasn't too sure if the fight was over or not. Thus he began to make his way out into the water as the Mane six watched him go. By the time Godzilla had reached where the Behemoth landed, he was up to his waste in the water. Once he was there, Godzilla looked down and inspected the body of his presumably deceased adversary.

This presumption turned out to be false when the Behemoth shot up out of the water and stood tall on his hind legs as he let out a roar. He fell back down on all fours, slamming his body into Godzilla's in the process. Then the Behemoth lurched his head forward and tried to bite at Godzilla's throat. However, Godzilla was able to get his hand up and close it around the Behemoth's mouth. Then Godzilla lifted the Behemoth's head up and wrapped his other hand around his throat. Godzilla pulled the Behemoth's head back down before he bit his teeth into the back of his neck.

The Behemoth tried to shake himself free, but Godzilla was managing to hold. He wasn't doing it all by himself, though. As strong as he was, Godzilla's body was not in the best of conditions to do something like struggle with the Behemoth. He was having trouble just keeping himself standing. However, the Behemoth was in a similar situation at the moment. His body had taken a tough beating as well and right now he was doing all he could to keep himself from collapsing, with barely enough body strength to keep fighting just like Godzilla.

However, despite being pain ridden, despite being tired, despite being exhausted, the Behemoth still felt he had enough in him to launch one last big offensive. What form would this planned final attack come in? If everything went the Behemoth's way, it would be in the form of the same attack that nearly won him the fight before. From a distance, the Mane Six, who were still watching the fight after moving up to the water's edge, saw the signs of the upcoming attack. And it filled their poor little pony hearts with terror for both Godzilla and themselves after what happened last time. The Behemoth's body was starting to build up a white glow of energy just like before. He was going to release another explosion!

Unfortunately for the Behemoth, unlike before when Godzilla was ignorant to what this glow was building up to, this time he knew exactly what was going on. He also had a counter ready for it too. With what could only be instinct, since he had no previous knowledge he could do it or what he was building up to, Godzilla's back spikes began to glow. This time, though, it was different. Unlike the other times when the spikes glowed and Godzilla would fire his atomic breath, this light was even brighter. It was also a different shade of blue that was so light it was almost white.

The glow got bright and brighter and the energy from it began to spill out of Godzilla's spike. It traveled through his body and made its way to his mouth like his atomic breath usually does. However, because Godzilla's mouth was full at the moment, instead of a concentrated beam, the energy came out in a wave that spread out across the Behemoth's neck. While the energy wave did burn and hurt the Behemoth and make him cry out in pain, this was not Godzilla's planned strategy. What he had in mind was completely different. He still had no idea how he knew how to do it, though. Again, it was most likely his instincts taking over.

Beyond his understanding or belief, Godzilla sucked in the energy he was releasing from his mouth back into his body. At the same time the energy in Godzilla's spikes flowed down into his body. Then he unleashed the energy from his body in a bright and blue colored pulse of power. His father used to use a similar attack and though no one had really given this attack a name, the best way to describe it would probably be a nuclear pulse. Yet, somehow Godzilla's nuclear pulse was actually even more powerful than his father's.

Some of the tell tale signs was how much brighter it was and that it seemed to extend to a wider range than his father's nuclear pulse used to. It was so bright in fact, that the Mane Six had to turn away and cover their eyes. They also let out screams of terror because they thought this would turn out to be a huge explosion like what the Behemoth had unleashed before. But seconds later the Mane Six realized they were all still alive and to an extension that Godzilla's nuclear pulse covered a much shorter range than the Behemoth's body explosion. However, when they turned back to the fight they also saw that it didn't mean the pulse was any less effective on an opponent.

What was also discovered was another stat supporting the idea that Godzilla's nuclear pulse was even more powerful than his father's. That was just how much damage had been done to the Behemoth's body. He looked to almost be in worse shape than Godzilla was after taking the brunt of the Behemoth's explosion earlier. Unfortunately for the Behemoth, he did not have super healing powers like Godzilla did. It was even worse for him since he was especially injured in the head and upper neck area. How injured was he? The Behemoth was injured so badly that once Godzilla released his grip on him, he collapsed into the waters of the ocean never to get back up again.

The fight was over and the battle was won, though the celebration did not begin right away. At first, Godzilla was looking on in amazement at his own feat. He took what was a last ditch advantage grabbing sneak attack by his father and made it into his own deadly attack. And he didn't even know how he was doing it. The nuclear pulse just seemed to come naturally to him. Now Godzilla had both his atomic breath and the nuclear pulse and he would be sure to put both of them to good use in whatever battle came before him in the future.

Godzilla examined the fallen form of the Behemoth for a little bit, just to make sure he was really done for. He sensed no movement or any signs of life within his beaten opponent. Not a heaving from breath or a twitch or the even faintest little heartbeat. There was no denying that Godzilla had won the fight. Now knowing this for sure, Godzilla raised his head into the sky and let out a loud three mile roar of victory.

The loud call of the King of Monsters had snapped the Mane Six out of the stunned state they had been in since Godzilla unleashed his nuclear pulse. Now that they were out of their awestruck state, they were looking up at Godzilla with bright smiles on their faces. It was only seconds later that they were all cheering as loud as they could. They were also jumping and skipping and flying around happily.

"Yee-haw, way to go, Godzilla!" exclaimed Applejack. "You done good and made us proud again!"

"Whoo-hoo!" Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie cheered.

"Alright, Godzilla, good job!" called out Twilight Sparkle.

"Good job?!" asked Pinkie Pie. "More like super, terifical, absoluta, whap-bopl-pa-looma-ba-wat-bam-boo excellent job!"

"Uh... what she said!" Rarity called out.

"Yeah boy-e!" yelled Rainbow Dash as she pumped a hoof in the air then brought it back down. "You rocked the house, G-Man! You took that Behemoth fool down!"

While everypony else was cheering, Fluttershy stayed quiet and looked up at Godzilla with a small supportive smile. To him, everything the other ponies were saying or doing at that moment was summed up and multiplied ten times over with that smile of Fluttershy's that he loved so much. It even got a smile out of him, which he flashed to the Mane Six, Fluttershy especially. Then he lifted his head into the air to roar in celebration yet again. However, something was noticeably different about this roar and not in a good way.

The difference was so noticeable that it made the Mane Six look uneasily at Godzilla. It sounded as though that last roar was extremely strained. Godzilla couldn't even do the whole roar. His voice gave out just as he was about to finish. A second later a look of worry and distress crossed the monster's face as his head began to lower. It didn't stop until he was looking down at the water around him. He tried to lift his head back up, but when he did, he felt his whole body tremble, so he stopped. At that point, his entire body was starting to feel even heavier than it actually was. It came to the point where Godzilla, even with all his mighty strength, was barely able to keep himself up. He felt he could fall over at any moment.

Everypony saw how hunched over Godzilla was and how exhausted and sore he seemed to be and how he winced in pain with every movement he made. He moaned out in agony as his hands hung at his sides and his head hung down as well.

"What's happening?!" asked Rainbow Dash in alarm.

"He's still feeling the effects of the blast he took earlier from the Behemoth!" said Twilight Sparkle.

"But how?!" asked Rarity. "He recovered and won the battle!"

"I think that was just some kind of adrenaline rush," said Twilight Sparkle. "Now it's wearing off and Godzilla's starting to feel the pain coming back to him again."

Everypony looked to Godzilla with saddened expressions. They saw by the look on his face that Godzilla was far more upset than they were. This was understandable since he was the one going through pain. A tear escaped Fluttershy's eye as she saw Godzilla shut his own eyes before looking away from the Mane Six in what he felt was disgrace. He never wanted them to see him in this condition or in any bad condition for that matter. He was suppose to be their big protector and having them see him hurting this bad made him feel like he was letting them down. He just couldn't help himself, the blast hurt him very badly.

Pinkie Pie ran forward until her hooves were bathed in the water of the ocean. Godzilla turned back to see Pinkie standing there with a look of sympathy for him. Though he appreciated the gesture, he never wanted to see this from any of his pony friends. He didn't want them to feel sorry for him at all.

"Thank you, Godzilla, for all the pain you keep taking for us and all of Equestria," said Pinkie Pie.

"We all appreciate it more than you could imagine," said Rarity. "You poor dear."

"We love you, Godzilla," said Twilight Sparkle.

"We really do," said Applejack.

"WE LOVE YOU," said everypony at the same time.

Godzilla gave them a quick and small smile before looking away again. Fluttershy flew out to Godzilla and came up to the end of his snout where he could see her perfectly. She immediately recognized the sad look in his eyes, despite him trying to keep the smile on his face. He tried to keep it on because he didn't want Fluttershy or any of the others to see him appear any worse off than they already had.

"What's the matter, Godzilla?" asked Fluttershy. "I mean, I know you got hurt really badly and that's enough to make anypony upset. But I'm getting a feeling there's a little something more under the surface that you're not telling us about."

Godzilla saw the concerned look on Fluttershy's face, which ended up being enough to get him to tell her exactly how he felt. Fluttershy listened closely and when Godzilla was finished, she had a look of disbelief on her face.

"Oh no, Godzilla, you mustn't think like that," said Fluttershy. "It's not your fault we feel bad for you at all. We feel that way because we really do love and appreciate you and we only want the best for you. You should never think you're at fault when we feel for you in anyway. You should know it's just that we love you enough to think about you through the good times as well as the... rough ones. Just know that you'll always be in my heart, Godzilla... You'll be in all our hearts, Godzilla."

The King of the Monsters found he was able to stand up straighter all of a sudden. It felt as if his heart had been touched almost literally by the hand of a loving soul or in this case a hoof. It was almost as if Fluttershy's words had renewed him. Though he was still hurt, he was no longer upset like he was before. He smiled at Fluttershy as he roared out a thank you before turning to the other ponies and roaring a thank you to them, as well. The rest of the ponies on the beach all had smiles on their face after having seen how much happier Godzilla seemed to be now thanks to Fluttershy.

Godzilla turned back to Fluttershy and leaned in closer as Fluttershy reached out to hug and snuggle the end of his snout. Both of them smiled brightly at each other before Fluttershy flew back to the rest of her friends on the beach. Once she had landed back on the sand, everypony else gathered around Fluttershy to hear what she had to say.

"Godzilla said thanks to everypony for caring... and that he loves us all too."

"AWE," everypony let out at the same time as they turned back to Godzilla.

He was also looking at them as well. They exchanged smiles with him, which made everyone feel that much brighter, including Godzilla himself. It did the Mane Six good to see he was able to stand up straighter and that they were able to make him feel better. He felt good knowing they could do this for him. It was another sign of how strong their friendship had grown since they met not too long ago.

Twilight Sparkle took the opportunity to shine an aura from her horn across Godzilla's body to inspect how his wounds were healing up. Pinkie Pie then grabbed a carrot seemingly out of nowhere and took a bite off it.

"Eh, what's up, Doc?" asked Pinkie Pie. "What are the results from the medical exam?"

"His wounds are healing quick and nicely," said Twilight Sparkle. "They're actually better than they look. He just needs to rest up a little bit like he did before and he'll be back to a hundred percent in no time."

"Oh, thank goodness," said Fluttershy.

"Indeed, he's very lucky to have those healing powers of his," said Rarity.

"We all are," said Twilight Sparkle.

"You said it!" agreed Pinkie Pie.

"Look, y'all," said Applejack as she pointed a hoof.

"What's up?" asked Rainbow Dash.

They saw that the smile had faded from Godzilla's face and now his nostrils were flaring as he sniffed at the air. He slowly turned to the ocean and stuck out his nose and sniffed even harder. The sides of his mouth pulled back to reveal his teeth via a snarl.

"What's eatin' at him?" asked Applejack.

"I don't know," said Pinkie Pie.

"Do you think it could be another kaiju heading this way?" asked Rarity.

"Oh, sweet Celestia, I hope not," said Fluttershy. "I don't think he could take another fight after what he just went through."

"Nevertheless, I'm afraid that's what it is," said Twilight Sparkle.

Fluttershy let out gasp before she said, "He's leaving!"

They all saw that Godzilla was indeed basically limping out deeper into the ocean.

"Can Godzilla swim?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"I'm not sure," said Rarity.

"Me neither," said Applejack.

After taking several steps, Godzilla stopped and turned back to the Mane Six who were back on land. He let out a roar to explain what he was doing. Unfortunately what he had to say brought a sad look to Fluttershy's face.

"He is going after another kaiju," explained Fluttershy.

The other ponies gasped in disbelief.

"He can't do that in his condition!" exclaimed Rarity.

"He could be hurt even worse than he already is!" said Applejack.

"Even worse than that, he could be killed!" said Twilight Sparkle.

"KILLED?!" exclaimed everypony else.

At that moment, they heard Godzilla let out another roar.

"He said not to worry about him and to stay here," said Fluttershy.

"Forget that!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash. "I'm not gonna stay here and wait around wondering if G's coming back alive or not!"

"Hear, hear!" agreed Rarity. "We simply can't wait here. We have to go and at least look after him."

"I'm inclined to agree with you, guys," said Twilight Sparkle. "But how are we gonna do that? The balloon was probably destroyed in the explosion."

"I have an idea!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie. "Follow me, everypony!"

The pink Earth pony was soon zipping down the beach with the others having no choice but to follow. At the same time, Godzilla was walking out further into the ocean waters until he was deep enough to just dive in and began swimming to find his next challenger.


Anyone here ever seen the 1953 UK monster movie, 'The Giant Behemoth'? ...No? Well, anyways, I saw that movie a while back on YouTube and admitted that while the movie itself wasn't all that good, I still liked the monster and thought it was cool. I decided that I really wanted to see Godzilla fight this thing and decided further to make that happen and put the Behemoth (the monster from the movie) in this story. Recently I revisited clips of the movie and admit that the monster itself wasn't all that impressive. In fact it was so underwhelming that second time that I almost pulled the Behemoth out of this story and rewrote it not to include him. But then I saw some fanart online that made the Behemoth look even more badass than I originally thought he was and that inspired me to keep him in the story.

Anyways, here it is, the newest chapter. I hope you all liked it alright and if you did please leave a review after you finish reading. If I made any sort of spelling or grammar error and missed it while proofreading, don't be afraid to tell me so I can correct it to the best of my ability. I'm The Guy Who Likes To Write Stuff, signing off.
