Canterlot was Equestria's beautiful and amazingly glorious capitol city. Although it was not the biggest city in the country, it still had many features that made it stand out as one of the greatest among the elite. Among these features was that Canterlot had been built high up into the side of a mountain, the largest in all of Equestria. Ponies who lived in the towns nearest to the mountain were all able to see Equestria's golden city shining like the gem it is.

Another amazing thing about Canterlot was that as the capitol city it was home to the royal castle, which itself was home to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. It was an absolutely beautiful structure and very regal in appearance as was to be expected of a home for royalty. It's main color was white, but there were other colors mixed in as well, most notably, gold. Many of the structures built around the castle were designed to match its majesty, which they did to an extent, though they were still not nearly as impressive.

Branching out away from the castle in the middle of the city, one would see as they went on that the buildings became less regal in appearance. They became more or less like the kind of giant structures you'd see in an typical big city, with a few smaller houses and shops thrown in here and there. One thing that was mostly a constant, which most ponies also found special about Canterlot, was the color scheme. Like the castle, the majority of the structures were white in color and even a lot of the streets were white as well.

Usually those streets would be filled with the most high class of ponies, with a few regular everyday ponies walking around. All of the overly dressed and at time snobbish high class ponies figured if they were going to live in the capitol city, they had to look and act the part. So they'd wear fancy garments and walk around all prim and proper and talk like they had snot permanently stuck in their nostrils. That was what a typical day was like in the great, beautiful utopia that was Canterlot.

Unfortunately today was not a typical day for the usually amazing city. All the usually calm ponies that would go about their day doing what they regularly do were all running around and screaming in a panic. Several uniformed ponies, both royal guard and local police, were trying to get a hold of the panicking crowds and escort them to safety. Some would fall in line and do as the authorities would say while others were too scared and panic driven to stop themselves and listen to the uniformed stallions and mares.

This was all caused, along with the civil defense sirens going off all over the city, by an extremely unwelcome guest outside the city limits. Several meters out away from the city gates was a giant beast, one of many that the citizens of Equestria had come to know as kaiju. Each kaiju that had appeared before this monster had left a huge trail of destruction in their wake and this beast had no intentions of doing any different. This monster approaching Canterlot had every intention of raising it to the ground so as to satisfy the will of his dark master, the evil lord, King Sombra. Plus the kaiju wanted to satisfy his own appetite for destruction most giant monsters seemed to have.

This particular kaiju shared much of its outer appearance with that of a centipede. Like the species of arthropod, the monster had a long, segmented body with pointed end legs that carried it forward. However, they were considerably shorter than what one would think they would be for a creature the size of this monster. There were many other differences as well like the fact that regular centipedes crawled with their bodies completely on the ground. This centipede kaiju crawled in a way where his upper body stood up in the air.

Another difference was that this monster didn't have the antennas on the top of its head that centipedes were suppose to have. Instead, it had four small, stubby horns on the top of its head. It also had two long arms with large, crab-like pincers at the end. It had red glowing eyes on its head and long sharp, slightly curved and jagged spikes on the end of its tail. Finally the monster was green in color, though its under body was colored an extremely light tan. Its body was, again, very long, possibly over a hundred meters in length.

This incredibly frightening giant was the monster that was currently on his way to reduce Canterlot into a demolition pile. That plan was delayed, however, by a quick stop the monster had made to grab a train that had been traveling to Canterlot. He had grabbed two of the back cars in his claws then ripped the whole train off the tracks. Now it had two more trains cars trapped in between his mandibles on the sides of his mouth.

As the centipede began swinging his upper body around, the two front train cars he didn't have a hold of broke off from the rest of the train and smashed into the ground below. The centipede kaiju took the opportunity to pull the two train cars in his pincers apart from the two cars that were in his mouth and began waving them in the air. If he was planning on taking those trains cars with him into Canterlot, it would probably take the monster a little bit longer than he expected. The giant bug kaiju was about to face opposition from the armed defense forces of Equestria's capitol city.

As soon as the centipede monster had been spotted and the alarm had been sounded, several courses of action had been taken to protect Canterlot and her citizens. In addition to trying to evacuate the citizens to safety, many defensive measures were called out. Several hundred royal military ponies had made their way out onto the open area between the monster and Canterlot. They also brought along with them several instruments of war, all of which were to be used against the monster.

Among these were catapults loaded with both large boulders and massive explosives and several large canons. In addition to this large battalion of ground forces, defenses against the kaiju were gathering in the sky as well. Along with the pegasi wearing the traditional armor of the royal guard, there were also many uniformed troops of the Wonderbolts as well. Each pegasus held either a lightning cloud, a heavy boulder, or an explosive, all of which were to be dropped upon the giant centipede.

Each one of the troops that had gathered to defend their capitol city against the kaiju were undeniably and understandingly beyond terrified. All the stories they heard involving kaiju ended with many a pony dying. Seeing one of these giant creatures of destruction coming at them and knowing they were only thing keeping it from ripping Canterlot apart was nearly unbearable. They all felt at that moment like they would rather be anywhere else except there.

But that fear did not deter them from doing their duty of protecting the good ponies of Canterlot. They knew they had to do it despite the fact that it scared them to death in this situation. They would not abandoned the innocent in their hour of need. They took an oath to protect and defend and that's just what they were going to do.

It's unknown exactly when the bombardment against the centipede monster began or what signaled the start of it. All that was remembered was that once it started, the whole attack came at the centipede all at once. Flying and falling rocks and explosives crashed and exploded on, at, and all around the centipede. Several rounds of ammunition were fired at the kaiju from the canons on the ground. Several large and mega charged bolts of lightning also flew down from the clouds of the pegasi above and struck the giant centipede who was their intended target.

Absolutely everything the ponies defending Canterlot had was thrown at the giant monster. All the while they were bombarding their target, everypony had expressions on their faces that were a mixture of great fear and intense concentration. Unfortunately none of that concentration or the assault by the ponies seemed to be doing them much good. Despite their best efforts, nothing the defense forces did seemed to be having any effect whatsoever on the kaiju, except for annoy him.

All the ammo exploding and the rocks bouncing against his hide did nothing to stop the centipede, nor did the bolts of lightning that struck him. He felt no pain at all; to him it barely felt like individual grains of sand bouncing off his body. But he still found it very annoying, though, so the monster decided he wanted to put an end to the assault. As he continued slinking and crawling his way towards the city, the kaiju let out several shrieks and screeches that no other creature could ever hope to replicate.

The centipede monster tossed forth the train car he held in his right pincer before quickly throwing the car in his left. Several ponies screamed and tried to run out of the way of the incoming projectiles. Unfortunately some of the ponies weren't able to get out of the way before the first train car hit the ground with a hard and very loud bounce before doing several rolls forward. The second train car came down and did pretty much the same thing, resulting in the crushing deaths of several ponies and destruction of the their catapults and canons.

After all the dirt that was tossed up in the air by the train cars had completely cleared, everypony that was still standing gathered themselves and prepared for a second assault. Despite how hopeless it seemed and how obvious it was that they were no match for the giant monster, every uniformed pony on that battlefield knew they had to keep going. They had to fight on for everypony in Canterlot; they knew they couldn't quit and they wouldn't. So, everypony ran to the closest canon or catapult they could to resume the attack.

While the ponies who had survived the flying train cars scurried to get to another weapon, those that weren't even in the path of said train cars had pressed on with their attack. It was about as successful at that point as it had been before, which was not at all. No pain was felt by the giant centipede at all since the bombardment began, but it was still agitating him. He grabbed one of the train cars out of his mouth, letting the other fall to the ground.

With an even mightier throw than before, the centipede screeched out as he tossed the crushed train car at his attackers. This time was different though, whereas the first two cars crashed dead in the middle of the assault team, this one nearly sailed clean over them. Several ponies couldn't help but look up to watch the metal object fly over their heads. Even with that train car sailing high above them, everypony on that battlefield still found it hard to believe what was actually happening.

The train car smashed through the top of a few catapults as it began to lower from the air. When it crashed into the ground's surface, the car bounced into the air, leaving behind a crater as it did so. It spun around a few times before crashing into the ground again and bouncing into the air one more time. The train spun around in the air until it hit the ground and skidded into the side of the gate that separated Canterlot from the rest of the mountain.

While the impact had smashed a small impression in the gate's foundation and had even shook it a little, the structure did not collapse. It was a good thing, too, since there were several ponies standing atop the gate. The armored clad commanders of the royal military were also accompanied by a very special pony. This was none other than the alicorn princess of the sun herself, who was also one of the two rulers of Equestria.

Princess Celestia looked on at the scene of battle that took place before her eyes. Though there was a glare on her face, in truth she was as afraid as everypony else around her, if not more. She cared about and loved everypony in her kingdom like a deeply caring mother watching over her children. To see this monster doing what it was to the ponies she cared so much for felt like a hard blow to the princess.

Celestia had only ever seen one kaiju before in her entire life and he was miles different from this approaching creature in more ways than one. Whereas the kaiju she met known as Godzilla was a kind good hearted creature, this monster was a cruel, wicked thing with intentions to kill. Just thinking about how evil this creature must be along with just looking at it almost made it hard for Princess Celestia not to show any signs of fear despite feeling it deep down. But much like her soldiers in battle, the alicorn of the sun was ready to do anything and everything to defend her city and her kingdom as a whole.

Princess Celestia heard the sounds of wings flapping coming from behind her. She turned to see it was her sister, Princess Luna, the alicorn of the moon coming up next to her for a landing. It distressed Princess Celestia to see her younger sibling's grim expression matched her own, though she understood why.

"The evacuation is finally getting under control, Celestia! How are things on the home front?"

Though she had asked the question, Princess Luna only needed to look over her sister's shoulder to get the answer. She saw how badly their defenses were being crushed by the might of the monster. At that moment, through her glare, one would also be able to see the sorrow, sadness, and fear in Luna's eyes, just like Celestia.

"You can see from here, Luna, exactly how things are on the front lines."

"It... would appear... not as well as... we'd like."

"Indeed. Have you managed to get a hold of Twilight and the others?"

"Spike says they're still in Appleloosa at the moment."

"Curses! So just how... are we suppose to stop this monster without their help then? Or can we even stop it at all?!"

"I don't know, my sister... I truly don't know."

Celestia heard the tremble in Luna's voice and looked to see her little sister fighting back as hard as she could to keep the tears welling up in her eyes from falling. Seeing this made it even harder for the white alicorn to fight back her own tears that had already been building up in her own eyes. They both felt so helpless at that moment. They had this incredible power and yet it could do nothing against the monster heading towards their city.

This realization made the royal sisters both wonder why they sent out soldiers, who they knew were weaker forces than themselves, to fight this kaiju if they themselves couldn't stop it. Why did they send out troops that were for certain incapable of stopping the monster. Had they just thrown sacrificial lambs to the slaughter? Were they just sacrificing a smaller group of ponies in hopes it would lead to the salvation of a bigger group of ponies?

As soul crushing as it seemed and as guilty as it made Princess Celestia and Princess Luna feel, it appeared as though that was the case, unintentional as it may have been. They looked out and saw the monster coming continuing its approach undeterred by the bombardment it continued to receive from the ponies on the battlefield. The kaiju looked around at all the ponies attacking him both in the sky and on the ground. It was clear to see from his body language that he was very agitated by these ponies' persistent assault on him and he had every intention of putting it to an end.

The kaiju's glowing red eyes began to glow even brighter and then, much to the horror of everypony there, two beams of energy were unleashed. The monster aimed his eye beams at a cluster of ponies and their equipment off to his right. The red light of the beams illuminated in the shocked ponies' wide eyes as they watched the beams rain down upon them in frozen horror. In a flash of light and an explosion of fire, everypony and piece of weaponry the centipede aimed his beams at was replaced by a sea of smoke and flames.

The giant centipede gazed down at the blaze before lifting his head into the air and letting out his unearthly screech yet again. It echoed out far and wide for all to hear, but those who could paid no attention. Everypony still alive on the battlefield had immediately began to fall back when they saw the monster's eye beams. They all ran away as fast as their hooves could carry them back to the safety of the city gate.

But how safe the gate truly was at that moment was up for debate. Everypony who was standing at the top of the gate had seen the monster use his energy attack. Now they were wondering if any of the ponies of Canterlot were safe at all. This included Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who were staring in wide eyed horror. They had not fully recovered from having bore witness to the kaiju's display of power with its eye beams.

It was enough to crush the hearts of most ponies and it came very close to doing so to the royal sisters. But they forced themselves to pull through because at that moment, those of their troops still standing needed their direction and their help more than ever.

"Commander!" Princess Celestia called out. An armor clad, orange furred unicorn stallion stood at attention and waited for orders. "Give them the signal to pull back! Do you hear me?! Pull back! All troops pull back!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" the orange unicorn said before heading off to carry out his orders.

The unicorn ran over to the end of a giant horn that had been placed atop the city gate. He blew into the horn, which echoed out and signaled for everypony on the battlefield to retreat. Of course, all the ground forces had already began running for refuge long before they were signaled to do so. The pegasi in the sky began to fly away from the giant monster upon hearing the horn, too.

The creature looked to his left and instantly fired off another blast of his heat vision, destroying more ponies, canons, and catapults in an explosion of fire. Right after that, the monster looked up at the pegasi trying to fly away. The monster didn't hesitate to fire his eye beams yet again, this time aiming them across the sky for several seconds to vaporize every single pegasus.

"NOOO!" Princess Luna screamed as she helplessly watched ponies being burned into nothing. "No! No! NO!"

Princess Celestia couldn't bring herself to say anything. Her was heart beating so rapidly in her chest it felt like it could burst. She couldn't speak and she couldn't move. All the sun princess could do was look on with trembling, tear filled eyes as she sobbed. Celestia couldn't even bring herself to try and comfort her sobbing sister, though she desperately wanted to. Princess Celestia look on mournfully and silently prayed for the souls of the poor ponies who had fallen in this battle.

"We... We can't stop it, Celestia." The sun princess looked to her shuddering younger sibling as she tried to wipe away her tears. "They... can't stop it. None of the ponies we sent out can do anything against a force of that magnitude. It was all for not. They perished for nothing."

"No, Luna... they didn't. They died doing what they believed in... which was defending the innocent... But unfortunately, it was on this day when they would be called to the halls above... May they finally find peace in the afterlife."

"I suppose you're right... however heart wrenching the truth may be... I too wish for their souls to be kept in the good graces above... But, as insensitive as this may be, our situation here is still an incredibly dire one right now. Our armed forces can't stop the monster. We have to get help. What are we gonna do, Celestia?"

Princess Luna finally got herself to look away from the approaching monster and turned her gaze to her older sister. She was taken aback to see that nearly all the sorrow and sadness on Princess Celestia's face was gone. What little was left was now masked by anger and hatred with a big hint of fear.

"There's only one thing that can be done right now."

Princess Luna tilted her head as she tried to figure out what her sister meant.

"What's that, Celestia?"

The white furred alicorn lightly lowered her head as her eyes shut. A second later she opened her eyes, which looked to be as intense as ever, as she lifted her head up.

"I will face this monster myself."

Princess Luna gasped in horror.

"You... You can't be serious!"

Celestia turned to her younger sister so she could clearly see the look on her face.

"I'm dead serious."

Luna flinched a little at Celestia's use of the word 'dead'.

"But... my sister..."

"Commander, gather your troops and head for the castle. The evacuees should be there by now. If the worst should happen, proceed with Escape Plan Hida."

"But, my princess... Y-You can't..."

"Do not dare defy me! Take your soldiers and go now!"

Y-Yes, Princess Celestia!"

The unicorn stallion frightened by the tone in Celestia's voice and the look on her face gave a quick salute before running off.

"Celestia, you can't go through with this plan! Th-th-That monster!... He'll kill you."

Out of the corner of her eye, Princess Luna caught sight of a flash of red light. She and Princess Celestia turned to see the source of the red light, though both alicorns sadly already knew what it was. The giant centipede had fired its heat vision and used it to create a straight wall of flames that trapped the fleeing soldiers. Those that were at the front of the pack were unable to stop in time and ended up getting caught in the beams' line of fire. The rest were now caught between a rock and a hard place.

Princess Luna's despair was plain to see as she stared on at the horrible sight. She turned to Princess Celestia, however, when she heard her growls of anger. The blue furred alicorn saw the scowl on her sister's face, which actually frightened Luna a little more than she already was. She very rarely ever saw her sister like this and seeing it now in this dire hour was beyond terrifying.

"Our soldiers are sacrificing their lives every second trying to stop this thing! I shouldn't do any less and I'm won't! I will do whatever I must to defend my subjects! This is not up for discussion, Luna! The decision has been made and it is final!"

Luna opened her mouth to say something, but no words came. Her eyes looked away from Celestia while she tried to think of something else, some sort of alternative. Deep down, though, she knew there wasn't one, no matter how much she wanted otherwise. She could certainly understand her sister's feelings about protecting their subjects. This was something Luna wanted to, just as much as her sister.

But even then she didn't want to see her sister put in a situation where she could be in danger, where her life could be at stake. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any options readily available to Canterlot at the moment. Despite Princess Luna trying to think of an alternate plan, none came. It was with a heavy heart that the princess of the moon let out a sigh signaling she had conceded.

As much as she hated to admit it, Princess Luna knew an alicorn princess was their only option. Next to Godzilla, the Elements of Harmony, and possibly Discord, alicorns were among the most powerful things in Equestria. Right now it seemed an alicorn was all that was available to fight the destructive kaiju looming over Canterlot, despite their need for an even greater power.

"Alright, my sister... you win," said Princess Luna. Princess Celestia was preparing to fly away and meet her superior foe in combat, but was stopped. "But if you are to do this, if you are to face this beast, then you will not do it alone."

"What are you saying, Luna?"

An intense look came over Princess Luna's face before answering.

"I'll go with you. We will fight this beast together."

This time, it was Princess Celestia's turn to stare at her sibling in shock.

"Luna..."

"Do not bother to try and argue or talk me out of this, sister. Less you forget that when I really want to do something, I can be high spirited just like you."

Princess Celestia hesitated for only a moment before an small, accepting, but also very sad smile crossed her face.

"Alright, my sister, if that is the way you truly want it to be, then it shall be done. You and I will face this beast... together."

A sad smile came to Luna's face which matched her older sister's.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, Celestia."

"Neither would I." Celestia placed a wing around her sister for a short hug. "It was... nice to have you back in my life again, Luna... Without you, there was a hole that could never be filled by anything else... It was truly fantastic the day you returned and it has been that way everyday since."

"I feel the same, Celestia."

With those final words, both sisters turned their gazes to the giant centipede monster. Their smiles turned into determined glares aimed at the monster intent on destroying them along with everyone and everything else. Both sisters felt like they had no chance whatsoever at winning, but knew they had to at least try even at the cost of their own lives. Though both were scared, they would not let it hold them back from their duties protecting their kingdom and more importantly their subjects.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's horns began to glow incredibly bright, followed by orbs of light forming around them. They were beginning to gather up all their power, every last ounce of it in preparation to do combat with the centipede. The monster saw the glows coming from the city gate not too far away. He turned his head slightly to the side as he stared curiously trying to figure out what the lights were.

The monster didn't get the chance to find out, nor did the royal sisters get the chance to engage him in combat. This was because all of a sudden an incredibly loud cracking sound echoed through the air. It was so loud and so mighty it almost sounded like thunder. Luna and Celestia looked to each other in surprise.

They, along with the centipede, looked to the source of the cracking sound, which was several hundred meters away. The centipede monster looked behind him while Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and the guards that were still alive on the battlefield all looked past him. What they saw off in the distance shocked them beyond all belief, even the centipede. The sight that stunned everyone so was a large crack that seemed to have broke through thin air.

It did not form in the side of the mountain or in the ground, or anything like that. It had just appeared out of thin air, a huge crack several meters long broke in the very matter of space and time. What was even more bizarre about it was that shining through this crack was a bright, blinding white light. The sight of such an event was extremely mesmerizing, even to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna who had seen a lot of amazing sights in their lives.

It got even more amazing when the crack began to open up even wider. It did not stop until the crack was a bright circle of light big enough to fit three giant centipedes in. Said monster seemed to be hypnotized by the sight of the light. For the moment he seemed to have forgotten about his planned siege on Canterlot. His full attention had been turned to looking at the light, going so far as to even start crawling toward it.

But he stopped when the pulsating sound that emanated from the light grew even louder followed by the light getting brighter. Everyone looked away and covered their eyes as best they could until the light returned to its normal brightness seconds later. When all the ponies turned back to the light, they gasped at what they saw coming out of it. An even smaller orb of light had emerged from the large circle.

The small light was moving at incredible speed as it flew high in the air, passing several hundred feet above the centipede's head. The curious kaiju followed the light's path with his eyes, which took it to the Canterlot gate. The bright orb landed on the top of said gate and ended up right next to the royal sisters. The alicorn princesses raised a foreleg and brought forth their wings to cover their faces as they looked away.

Several seconds later the light faded away until it was nothing. When Celestia and Luna finally uncovered their faces and looked back to where the light once shined, both of them could hardly believe what they saw. Standing before them were all the mares who made up the Mane Six, all of whom wore the Elements of Harmony upon their person. Aside from the fact that they showed up in a ball of light, this was especially surprising to the alicorn sisters since last they heard the Mane Six were all in Appleloosa.

"Princess, Celestia, Princess Luna!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed upon her and her friends spotting the royal sisters.

"Twilight Sparkle! You and your friends...! You're here?!"

"And you brought the Elements of Harmony!" Princess Luna exclaimed.

"Yes, princesses, we're here," said Twilight Sparkle. "We got here as soon as we could!"

"And not a moment too soon it looks like!"

"Actually, Applejack..."

Fluttershy pointed out to the open area before the gate of Canterlot where all the carnage of battle was on full display. Everypony looked out at the horrible sights that were the results of the armed forces' fight against the centipede. The sight of it all made the Mane Six's hearts sink. The wasted efforts of the troops and the results of their failure were sights to crush the soul. Each pony silently mourned the brave ponies that fell to the centipede before their eyes picked up on the monster itself once again approaching the city.

"Centipor!" Twilight Sparkle said coldly before the giant monster let out a screech.

"Was really hoping I wouldn't ever have to see this particular kaiju," said Rarity. "I guess I'm being punished for being thankful about missing the spider."

"Yeah, yeah, enough about that. Right now we need to freaking do something about those ponies that are still out there!"

"Rainbow Dash is right," said Twilight Sparkle. "We need to get out there and get those ponies to safety."

"Right," the rest of the Mane Six agreed.

"We'll go, too, and help you."

"Oh, no, Your Maje-"

"Luna's right, we're going to help you!" Princess Celestia insisted.

"And we'll also assist you when you go to take on this Centipor ," said Princess Luna.

"Oh, we're not gonna fight Centipor," said Fluttershy.

Both princesses gave confused looks to the Mane Six before asking together, "You're not?"

"Of course not," said Applejack.

"Most certainly not," said Rarity. "Why we would never stand a chance against that beast."

"He'd flattened us flatter than my Aunties Pie's flat pies!" Pinkie Pie chimed in.

"What on Earth made you think we'd fight that beast?" Rarity asked.

"Well... it's just that..." Celestia began.

"You brought the Elements of Harmony with you," Luna finished up.

"OH!" the Mane Six all said together.

"No, it ain't nothing like that at all," said Applejack.

"Truth be told, princesses, the Elements, as powerful as they are, just aren't a match for the power of a kaiju," said Twilight Sparkle.

"The truth is, they were just our taxi to get us here," said Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah, we brought someone else deal with Centipor," said Pinkie Pie.

"You mean you brought him?" Princess Celestia asked.

The sun princess got her answer answer when a loud, moaning roar echoed through the air.

"We sure did," Applejack reaffirmed.

"Yeah, he just walks a little slower when he's in beat 'em up mode," said Rainbow Dash.

Centipor hesitated upon hearing the moaning roar and waited for a second or two before turning in the direction the roar came from. This ended up, once again, being the large light that had appeared many meters behind him earlier. This time when Centipor looked behind him at the light, something other than a smaller light came out. That was an opposing kaiju, who was, of course, the King of Monsters himself, Godzilla.

The moment Godzilla stepped out of the portal, he raised his head up as he let out a loud growling roar. Centipor was taken aback by the mightiness of this other monster's roar. He was also shocked just by the sudden arrival of Godzilla. Upon examining his imposing outer appearance and hearing his roar, Centipor knew he was in for a heck of a struggle if this new monster was looking for a fight. Judging from the look in his eyes, that was exactly what Godzilla wanted to get out of Centipor.

For the ponies close by on the Canterlot gate who were watching this, Godzilla's appearance was a symbol of hope, especially to Celestia and Luna. They had to bare witness to their city's decent into chaos while trying to flee from Centipor and the crushing defeat of their troops to the monster. So for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Godzilla's arrival was definitely a ray of hope, one they were afraid they'd never get.

"It's Godzilla!" Princess Celestia exclaimed happily.

"He's here!" Princess Luna added excitedly.

"Of course," said Rainbow Dash. "G man always makes sure he's around for the party! Especially when it counts the most!"

"If Godzilla could just get Centipor to start crawling toward him and away from the troops out there," said Twilight Sparkle. "If he can do that, it'll be easier for us to rescue them."

"That shouldn't be hard," said Applejack. "These kaiju like to scrap more than a rabid pack of dogs in the kennel over a piece of kibble."

"We just need to wait for the right moment," said Twilight Sparkle.

By that point Centipor had turned himself around so that he was now completely facing Godzilla, his back now turned to Canterlot. Godzilla stomped forward as he let out several low growls while Centipor let out several warped chirps and clicks. After stomping a few steps forward, Godzilla halted his approach and then pulled his hands back as he let out one of his great three mile roars. The incredible power that came with that roar alone shook every living being in the immediate area to their very core, especially Centipor.

"Such ferocity," Princess Luna commented.

"Amazing isn't it?" asked Fluttershy.

"Pretty awesome if you ask me," said Rainbow Dash.

"It most certainly is," said Princess Celestia. "Come on, Godzilla, please don't let us down."

"He won't," Fluttershy reassured.

Godzilla let out another roar as he began stomping in the direction of Centipor. With each booming stomp the Alpha Predator took toward him, Centipor became more and more nervous. He was really not expecting to have to fight another giant monster, nor did he want to. But despite how intimidating the kaiju before him appeared to be, Centipor didn't back down.

Like every kaiju before him, Centipor seemed to have an inexplicable urge to stand his ground despite any sort of fear he felt inside. It was as if no matter how much he wanted to, he couldn't allow himself to step away. Because of this kaiju courage, Centipor let out one of his shrieks before he began crawling toward Godzilla. Both giant monsters let out their own unique calls as they approached each other to partake in a no holds barred grudge match.

"This is our chance!" Twilight Sparkle proclaimed. "This is our window of opportunity! With Centipor crawling towards Godzilla and away from the soldiers down there, we can rescue them! Let's go, everypony!"

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's horns began glowing in their magic auras. The royal sisters used their magic to create an orb around the Mane Six and soon after began flying away. Celestia and Luna flew at tremendous speed as they made their way out onto the battlefield. They soared high into the air and actually used their magic to take the orb containing the Mane Six with them.

The two kaiju currently making their way towards each other were doing so in a very slow manner. Centipor crawled ever so slow so as to be cautious, for his fear of Godzilla was still lingering in the back of his head. Godzilla on the other hand was a completely different story because he had no fear of Centipor whatsoever. His slow, lumbering approach was very deliberate, for he wanted to let Centipor know he didn't feel the need to hurry up to fight him. He wanted to make Centipor feel every ounce of body chilling suspense every second he had left before the fight began.

All the soldiers who had not that long ago been bravely fighting against Centipor were now frozen in fear. In the course of combat, they had seen Centipor's true power in action when that power instantly destroyed hundreds of their brothers in arms. Upon seeing this up close and personal all the courage those soldiers once had was immediately replaced with chilling terror. Even when Centipor began crawling away from them, the soldiers dared not move. Instead they stared back and watched Centipor as he went to face Godzilla.

But then all of a sudden everyone of the traumatized soldiers felt a huge gust of wind rush past them with tremendous force. This strange phenomenon forced the majority of ponies to look back to see what had caused the wind. They were all surprised to see the wall of fire that had separated them from Canterlot had somehow been extinguished, most likely by the powerful gust of wind. The soldiers also saw that standing in front of the crater where the fire once burned were the princesses they served. They also saw that the royal sisters were accompanied by six mares wearing objects they recognized as the Elements of Harmony.

"Move! Move! Move!" Rainbow Dash commanded.

Nopony else wasted a word as they went around gathering as many soldiers as they could. They even managed to get some of the soldiers to snap out of their traumatic states and help with gathering some of the more seriously injured soldiers. Once everyone was gathered closer together, Twilight, Rarity, Luna, and Celestia combined their power to cast a teleportation spell. This tactic proved effective in getting absolutely everypony safely on the other side of the Canterlot gate.

Once they were inside the city limits, Twilight and Celestia both used their magic to make several stretchers and a medical wagon appear.

"Alright, girls, get as many of these soldiers to the castle as you can," said Princess Celestia.

"Right!"

"Luna, will you assist them?"

"Of course, my sister!"

Applejack and Pinkie Pie hooked themselves up to the medical wagon while Luna, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy loaded as many troops in the back as they could.

"Why take them to the castle, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle inquired.

"Because if that monster manages to get into Canterlot, there's a way to escape the city through the castle."

"There is?" Fluttershy asked as she walked up next to Celestia and Twilight.

"Yes," Princess Celestia answered. "Remember the caves beneath Canterlot where Chrysalis held Cadence prisoner? I had some ponies explore and expand those mines so that in case we ever needed to, we could to them through the castle and use the caves to evacuate Canterlot and get everypony to safety."

"That's a pretty good plan, Princess Celestia."

"Thank you, Twilight."

The trio looked to see the medical wagon being hauled off with a full load of soldiers. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash and Princess Luna had found a pedestrian wagon which they loaded several more troops into. Then they strapped themselves into the wagon and proceeded to pull it through the air as they flew toward the castle. Rarity stayed to keep an eye on the troops that couldn't fit into either wagon and would receive transportation later.

"You two help Rarity keep an eye on those troops," Princess Celestia instructed as she began to walk towards the gate.

"What about you?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

Princess Celestia stopped and looked back to Twilight and Fluttershy before saying, "I am going to make sure Centipor does not enter the city. If it looks like he's going to, then I must fly back to the castle to alert everypony so they can escape."

"Right," said Twilight Sparkle.

As Princess Celestia flew away, Twilight ran to assist Rarity. The violet alicorn stopped when she realized Fluttershy wasn't following her. She saw that instead, Fluttershy was flying after Princess Celestia. Confusion crossed Twilight Sparkle's face as she ran to catch up with her friend.

"Hey, Fluttershy, what are you doing?!"

The yellow pegasus turned to Twilight Sparkle upon hearing her call her name. She saw her friend's questioning expression and tried desperately to find a rational way to answer.

"I... Uh... It's just that... I want to make sure... that he's..."

Twilight Sparkle flashed Fluttershy an understanding smile as she said, "It's okay, Fluttershy, I get it. You go on with Celestia then. Rarity and I got things down here."

"Thank you, Twilight."

Fluttershy flashed her violet friend a smile of her own before she flew to catch up with Princess Celestia. By the time that Fluttershy flew up to the top of the city gate, Princess Celestia was already standing there and looking out at the monsters approaching each other. When Fluttershy landed next to Celestia, the alicorn princess looked to her subject in confusion. But when she saw the look on Fluttershy's face, she instantly understood and simply nodded her approval.

They both looked out when they heard both Godzilla and Centipor roaring and screeching at each other. The two monsters were right up in each others' faces staring each other down. Godzilla took one final step forward before ramming his head into Centipor's. The impact sent Centipor stumbling back, but he quickly recovered and charged forward. Godzilla had decided to charge forward at that same moment, making the two titans run into each other.

After the collision, both monsters began struggling and wrestling to get either their arms around each other or their claws dug into the others' flesh. At the same time, both Godzilla and Centipor were pressing their weight against each other hoping to force the other back or to stumble. Eventually both kaiju realized that this tactic wasn't doing what they wanted to and both decided to change strategies. Godzilla swung his open hands against the sides of Centipor's head and upper body, while Centipor did the same to Godzilla with his pincers.

Centipor would also ocassionally try to snap his pincers around one of Godzilla's limb whenever he could. He never got a good grip though since Godzilla was moving around too much and was wildly waving his arms around while trying to slam his hands across Centipor's body. Both monsters swung their hands violently at each other with every hit they landed feeling harder than the last. Each time the monsters landed a hit it sounded like a canon going off, the blows were so strong.

This knockout, drag out brawl went on for several moments with both monsters smacking their hands/pincers into each other several times. After beating into each other for so long, Godzilla decided to change tactics again. He charged forward and wrapped his arms around Centipor. He lifted his right hand up into the air and balled into a fist before clubbing it down into Centipor's back while trying to control him with his other arm.

Godzilla only got in a few clubs before Centipor actually managed to shove him back. Once free, Centipor charged forth, ramming his head into Godzilla's chest. The giant arthropod then crawled back a little to get a head start before ramming his own head into Godzilla's. As the King of Monsters stumbled backwards, Centipor took advantage and swung his tail forth, slamming it into Godzilla's side.

Godzilla retaliated right away by charging forward and ramming his left shoulder into Centipor, knocking him back. Godzilla followed up by slamming the back of his elbow into Centipor's side. The giant centipede responded by ramming his body into Godzilla's and began swinging his pincers back and forth across Godzilla's face. Centipor would also ocassionally club one of his pincers into the top of Godzilla's head.

After doing this several times, Centipor snapped his pincers around Godzilla's wrists. The force of the centipede's mighty claws clamping down made the Nuclear Leviathan scream out in pain. Centipor let out a screech before biting his mandibles down into his opponent's right shoulder. Again Godzilla cried out, but immediately went to work in trying to wrestle himself free of Centipor's grip.

Though the Alpha Predator struggled, it felt to him like Centipor's grip could never be broken and even felt like it was getting stronger. But Godzilla had grown accustom to doing the impossible, so he was willing to give this a try. Godzilla waved his arms around in the air trying to get his wrists from Centipor's pincers, while he would rock his body back and forth to escape the bite of Centipor's mandibles. This did make it harder for Centipor to keep a hold of his foe, but it still didn't look like he was about to lose his grip anytime soon.

But by some stroke of a miracle, Godzilla's struggling paid off when he managed to slip his hands out of Centipor's claws. Unfortunately it came with a price, for when he managed to pull his hands free of Centipor's pincers, they were still clamped shut. Thus pulling them through Centipor's jagged pincers caused some of the flesh on Godzilla's hands to get shredded off. Despite his hands and wrists being injured Godzilla reached out and grabbed a hold of Centipor's head.

The giant arthropod tried to resist, but he was unable to keep Godzilla from pulling his head back and freeing his shoulder from Centipor's bite. Unfortunately, like before, freedom came at the price of lost flesh, with Godzilla now missing a chunk in his right shoulder. As Godzilla pulled Centipor's head up above his own, the creature spat the chunk he took out of Godzilla's shoulder into his face. This greatly infuriated Godzilla and he was determined to make Centipor pay.

The angered reptilian kaiju lifted his foe's head up higher before balling up his right fist, pulling it back and swinging it forth for an uppercut. Centipor was stunned by the blow, which allowed Godzilla to hit him with another uppercut, this one from his left hand. Godzilla threw two more uppercuts in a right, left combo before then slashing his claws from both hands across Centipor's face. After that Godzilla threw a series of punches across Centipor's face at a rapid speed.

After a few moments of this, Centipor tried to make an opening by charging forth and slamming his body into Godzilla's. The centipede followed up by swinging his tail into Godzilla's side and then swung it around into the other. Centipor surprised Godzilla by then swinging his tail into the top of the leviathan's head. Before Centipor could do anything else, Godzilla wildly swung his fists across his enemy's face once again.

Before the Kaiju King could throw enough punches to badly daze Centipor, the giant arthropod charged forth and again rammed his body into Godzilla's. The reptilian monster stumbled back a few steps, but came back with a sudden blast of his atomic breath. The beam hit Centipor in the face before Godzilla shot it up and down his foe's entire body, setting off several explosions as a result. Centipor had to let out a scream of agony, for he just felt pain the likes of which he's never felt before in his entire life.

However, unbeknownst to Godzilla, Centipor had a weapon of his own for a proper retaliation. The giant centipede fired his eye beams into and across Godzilla's body, causing a series of explosions by doing so. Godzilla replied with a roar of pain, but then quickly responded by firing his atomic blast once more. He aimed the beam of power up and down Centipor's body several times, each one causing a several explosions each time.

Centipor shot back with his eye beams, firing them up, down, and across Godzilla's chest. The Nuclear Leviathan roared out from the pain, but this left him open to Centipor firing a quick shot of his eye beams directly into Godzilla's mouth. Several sparks flew out of Godzilla's mouth before he snapped it shut as Centipor ceased fire. Godzilla opened his mouth to roar, which revealed a flow of smoke from out of the king's mouth.

But Godzilla ignored this and shot off three different blasts of his atomic breath. Each time he would aim it all over Centipor's body with every blast of his beam lasting longer than the one before. Centipor fired back with his heat vision, blasting it across various parts of Godzilla's body a multitude of times. And again Godzilla fired his atomic breath, this time directly into Centipor's face, causing an igniting of flames.

Both kaiju roared defiantly at each other before they both fired their projectiles at each other. As soon as the two beams collided, it was no competition which one would be the most dominant. Godzilla's atomic beam plowed straight through Centipor's eye beams and hit him in the face once again, causing even more explosions than the time before. Godzilla shook his head in the air and waved his arms around as he mockingly roared at Centipor, who responded with an angry shriek.

Then the two rushed at each other, moving as fast as their giant bodies could take them. The two kaiju ended up crashing into each other so hard, they both bounced back a step or two. Centipor was the first to recover, getting the next offensive strike by slapping his claws across Godzilla's face. The King of Monsters responded by batting his opponent's pincers away before slashing his right hand claws upward into Centipor's face almost like an open handed uppercut.

Centipor was only momentarily stunned by the blow, but quickly recovered and delivered an attack of his own. He slammed his tail into Godzilla's left shoulder before swinging it into the top of Godzilla's head, followed by a blast of his eye beams. After suffering explosions across his body, Godzilla rushed forth and reached for Centipor. Godzilla wrapped his arms around the giant centipede, who clamped his pincers on his foe's upper arms and then bit into his left shoulder.

The two monsters wrestled around with each other, trying to get better leverage over the other while also trying to get each other to release their hold. This struggle made the warring titans stomp and stumble around in a circle a few times. The wrestling match did not end, but eventually their circling around did. When it was over, Centipor was still biting into Godzilla's shoulder, but now the Alpha Predator had his arthropod enemy in a side headlock.

Godzilla took the time to do a quick check and saw that the circling around had ended with his back now turned to Canterlot. This was just what he was secretly hoping for the most. Godzilla decided he should take advantage of this and quickly acted. It took all his strength, all his heart, all of his will, and all his intensity but eventually Godzilla began to actually push the girth of Centipor away from Canterlot.

The alarmed giant centipede tried to halt his opponent's march away from his intended target, but he was unsuccessful in doing so. Centipor was surprised even more by what Godzilla managed to do next. The giant reptilian monster managed to shove Centipor even further back, making him release the bite he had on Godzilla's shoulder. Godzilla then shot off a blast of his atomic breath across Centipor's body before roaring at him ferociously.

In a surprise move, Centipor launched himself through the air, crashing into Godzilla and actually landing on top of him. The evil kaiju immediately began biting at the area around Godzilla's left eye, causing him to shriek out in pain. Even then Godzilla forced himself to take a few more steps away from Canterlot. He did not want the Equestria capitol to suffer any residual effect from his next move; a move he only used once before.

Godzilla's spines began to glow and at first it seemed like he was about to fire his atomic breath yet again. But this time, instead he seemed to swallow the beam. It ended up coursing through his body was released in a big burst of power that was the nuclear pulse. It wasn't nearly as powerful as the first time he used it, but it did manage to cause Centipor a whole lot of pain.

Several pieces of his body went flying in the air, as did splatters of blood while Centipor himself was flung back by the burst of power. The squealing beast crashed into the ground and had to squirm around to get back up until he was standing properly. He tried to retaliate by firing his eye beams, but they were easily matched by Godzilla's own atomic breath, which caused Centipor even more pain. Godzilla rushed forward to keep his advantage going, for he was intent on ending Centipor no matter what.

Centipor tried to stop Godzilla by swinging his tail into his foe's right rib cage. The blow barely phased him, however, and Godzilla was ready with an appropriate retaliation. Godzilla spun around and slammed his tail across the side of Centipor's body, instantly knocking him over on his side. The giant arthropod managed to roll back to where he could stand on his legs properly, but did not push his upper body back up right away. Instead, Centipor shot his eye beams into Godzilla's chest.

The beams of energy collided with the Alpha Predator's scaly flesh and ignited an explosion of sparks and flames. It even manged to blow off a few small pieces of Godzilla's tissue, which got a roar out of him. This roar, however, was more so one of anger than anything else, though the blast still hurt. Godzilla literally fired back when he shot his atomic breath into Centipor's face then aimed it up and down his back.

After his beam assault, Godzilla charged forward and kicked his left foot into Centipor's face. The King of Monsters roared loudly into the air before spinning around and slamming his tail down upon Centipor's body. The centipede kaiju squealed in pain as the boom of the blow echoed through the air. Godzilla lifted his tail up high into the air before slamming it back down on Centipor once more creating the same result as before. Godzilla quickly spun back around and unleashed his atomic breath down upon Centipor's entire body.

Godzilla lifted his head into the air and roared repeatedly as he waved his hands around. He was being watched at that moment by Princess Celestia and Fluttershy, both of whom were amazed and also very frightened by the sight before them. The alicorn princess was feeling these things most since she had never seen a kaiju fight before. Now with one taking place before her eyes sent all sorts of shivers down her spine.

Celestia had seen many things in her long life and even experienced them herself, but never anything of the caliber of a kaiju battle. Seeing the two titans rip and tear each other apart along with the field their battle took place on made Princess Celestia want to pull up in a ball somewhere and hide. She had felt like this before, but never to the extent she was watching these two giants battle it out. Princess Celestia always knew their was a chance she would end up being a spectator to one of these titanic rumbles, but she never wanted to be, especially at that moment.

However, there were two things positive the ruler of Equestria found she was able to take from this battle. One was that Godzilla seemed to have the edge and appeared like he would be victorious in this grudge match. The other was that she had a wonderful pony by her side to go through watching the fight with her. Princess Celestia felt a hoof rub against hers and turned to see it belonged to Fluttershy who smiled at her supportively.

"I know just how you feel," said Fluttershy. "I was scared when I saw a kaiju fight for the first time, too. In fact, I've been scared every time I've seen a kaiju, whether they were fighting or not... That is, all except one. I was only afraid of him once and never again. And it is because of that same kaiju that as scary as these fights have been, they do get easier to handle witnessing... Hopefully this is the only one you'll ever have to see, princess."

Princess Celestia returned her loyal subject's smile before replying.

"Thank you, my dear Fluttershy, for inspiring me with your amazing words. Just hearing them has filled me with a strength I didn't know I had. A strength that is sure to get me through anything in the future, even if it is a kaiju fight. That includes being able to get through this fight right here and now."

"I'm glad to hear that, princess."

All of a sudden, in a flash of light and a cloud of smoke, Twilight Sparkle appeared on Princess Celestia's left side.

"Princess, my friends are transporting the last of the soldiers to the castle. I came up here because I wanted to get an update on the situation and see what's happening so far."

"Understood. Thank you, Twilight Sparkle, and thanks to your friends, too for helping my troops when they were in dire need of assistants."

"The pleasure is all mine, Princess Celestia. So, what's going on with Godzilla and Centipor right now?"

"See for yourself."

Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Princess Celestia all looked back out to see how the fight between the monsters had progressed. Godzilla was looking down at Centipor's non-moving body with predatory eyes. He tilted his head from side to side and then bent down and moved in closer to better inspect the body. He sniffed it a few times, but could not tell if what he was smelling was decay or the kaiju's natural stench.

His ears didn't pick up much activity either, but regardless, Godzilla decided to get in and inspect Centipor even closer. The King of Monsters reached out his hands and grabbed a hold of Centipor's head and lifted it up to look it over. This was a big mistake, for when Godzilla saw Centipor's face, he had his mandibles wide opened. Inside was a large, yellow and orange glowing orb of energy, which Centipor had been building up power for ever since he had been knocked down.

Centipor quickly launched the orb from his mouth directly towards Godzilla. The reptilian kaiju only had time for his eyes to widen before the orb exploded into his chest. There was a big flash of light that was only there for a second before quickly fading away. When it did, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Princess Celestia saw that the area around the two giants had been ripped apart even more because of Centipor's incredible blast of power.

What they were unable to see, however, was the damage the blast had done to Godzilla. Because his back was to him, the three ponies were unable to see the giant blast mark left around the, now shredded, flesh of Godzilla's chest. The greatly injured kaiju stood motionless for several seconds before he shakingly lifted his hands up to the sides of the wound on his chest. He looked down and inspected his wound, the look on his face conveying all the shock and all the pain he felt at that moment.

Godzilla then turned his stare to Centipor, allowing the evil kaiju to see his face. While it was clear the blast had done some minor damage to Centipor as well since it was fired in such close quarters, it was also clear that he didn't care. The only thing that mattered to Centipor was that he had managed to more or less incapacitate his opponent, which delighted him to no end. His joy increased when he saw Godzilla begin to slowly tilt to his side, picking up speed as he fell.

He didn't stop falling until his body crashed into the ground, causing a loud boom to echo out through the air. Upon seeing Godzilla's body hit the ground, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Celestia turned away from the horrifying sight. As soon as the sound of the crash faded, all three mares turned back to see, much to their terror, Centipor standing tall over Godzilla's fallen form. The monster raised his head to the air and screeched out in victory, which only escalated the poor ponies' sorrows, fears, and sadness.

"No," Fluttershy managed to whisper through a shaky voice.

Twilight and Princess Celestia were quick to come to Fluttershy's side to comfort her with warm embraces despite them feeling just as much despair.

"Take heart, Fluttershy," said Twilight Sparkle. She didn't dare to speak her true feelings, though she really didn't need to. Her tone did that for her. "We've seen Godzilla in positions like this before... He- He'll pull through... He always does..."

Once Centipor was finished celebrating, he lowered his gaze to his fallen foe. The giant arthropod lowered his head down until his eyes were mere inches from touching Godzilla's flesh. He looked Godzilla over very precisely so as to make sure the fallen kaiju was down for good. As his eyes ran across Godzilla's body, Centipor also poked and prodded at different parts of the fallen king's flesh curiously.

He ran his left pincer across Godzilla's neck before grasping him just above his throat and lifting Godzilla's head off the ground. Centipor looked it over two or three times before then turning his gaze past Godzilla. This took it in the direction of Canterlot, the city it had been trying previously to invade until his unexpected rumble with Godzilla. More specifically, his eyes were set on the city gate where Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Princes Celestia stood.

The three ponies had already been feeling distressed because their great defender had fallen. Now seeing the evil creature who had defeated him looking towards them like it wanted to do something cruel made their eyes wider than they've ever been. To say the trio of mares felt all sorts of shivers that made their bodies tremble in terror would be putting it lightly. They all felt like they were about to jump out of their skin, they were so scared.

Centipor was thinking about crawling over so he could do what he came here to do, which was raise Canterlot to the ground. Though, he desperately wanted to, Centipor held back because he also wanted to make sure Godzilla was down and out for good. It looked like he was at this point, but Centipor still wanted to be positive that was the case. This was a decision Centipor had to make, but he was finding it extremely difficult to do so.

Centipor looked away from the Canterlot gate down to Godzilla and then turned to the gate once again. He looked back and forth from Godzilla and Canterlot again and again as he tried to make his decision. After several moments, Centipor stopped himself from turning back to Godzilla and let his gaze hang on Canterlot's gate for a moment. Then the monster shrieked out as it began crawling over Godzilla's body and approached Canterlot.

Fluttershy, Celestia, and Twilight Sparkle all gasped in horror as they all uncontrollably took a step back at the sight of Centipor coming in their direction. However, Centipor stopped himself when he was standing atop of Godzilla's fallen form. He looked back to see Godzilla had not moved an inch and his eyes were still shut. Still, the giant centipede couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Centipor stared on for a moment longer before deciding he would make sure Godzilla was dead. The beast let out several low clicks as he lifted his tail. Centipor's intentions were to stab the two jagged spikes at the very end of his tail into Godzilla's body a multitude of times so it would be definitive he was dead. Fluttershy, Celestia, and Twilight Sparkle all watched on in despair as Centipor aimed his tail spikes above Godzilla's head and neck.

"NO!" Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia, and Fluttershy all yelled at the same time.

Fluttershy had reached out a hoof while Celestia had raised one to her lips and Twilight just looked on helplessly.

"It can't end like this!" Twilight cried out.

And it wasn't going to either, for just as Centipor raised his tail up, shrieking and clicking as he did so, the maple leaf shaped plates on Godzilla's back lit up bright as ever. The sudden flash of light caught Centipor by surprise, making him look down as he shrieked in alarm. He then looked back to see Godzilla's eyes had opened wide and turned to look at Centipor. Those eyes like daggers lowered into a glare that seemed like it could burn a hole through whoever it stared at.

Godzilla let out a quick roar before releasing a burst of his nuclear pulse. The force of the blast sent Centipor flying into the air as he cried out in pain. The pulse also ripped through parts of Centipor's body, sending those parts, including some legs, splattering everywhere covered in globs of the centipede's blood. When Centipor hit the ground, he rolled a few times before coming to a stop.

Upon seeing all this transpire, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, and Princess Celestia all cheered as loudly as they could. They were completely ecstatic to see that Godzilla was alive and just as happy since it seemed he still had some fight in him. They watched as Godzilla pushed himself back up to his feet as fast as he could before spinning around to where Centipor had landed.

The trio of mares gasped in horror when they all finally got a chance to see the injury Godzilla had sustained to his chest. They couldn't help but feel all sorts of sadness and pity for their great protector because of his injury. Godzilla on the other hand wasn't the least bit concerned about his wound, for at the time he felt he couldn't be. At that point the only thing he was just focused on is putting Centipor down.

Godzilla fired off a blast of his atomic breath across Centipor's body. In addition to ripping through Centipor's body, the beam caused several explosion's that ripped through the kaiju's tissue. Globs of blood went through the air while Centipor was shrieking in agony the entire time. The monster shakingly turned his head to look back at Godzilla, though he did not like what he saw.

Godzilla was once again staring at him with his intense, focused, and furious glare while he also let out a low, predatory growl. Centipor quickly turned and tried to crawl away from Godzilla as fast as he could. But the Alpha Predator started stomping after his foe when he realized the direction Centipor was crawling in was taking him closer to Canterlot. The moment he was close enough, Godzilla reached out his hands and grabbed on tightly to Centipor's tail.

With a mighty roar, Godzilla used his incredible strength to lift Centipor by his tail and swing him up over his head. Then Godzilla pulled him back down to Earth, slamming him into the ground and once again putting Godzilla in between his foe and the city he was trying to protect. Godzilla quickly followed up by firing his atomic breath across Centipor's body as he squirmed around at a rapid speed trying to get back up off the ground. When he finally managed to get up again, the hurting kaiju fired his eye beams into Godzilla's chest and moved it up across his neck and head.

After the beams exploded in his face, Godzilla roared defiantly, despite the pain he felt. His back plates lit up as he fired his atomic breath directly into Centipor's face, igniting an eruption of flames and sparks. The kaiju shrieked as streams of smoke flowed out of black scorch marks left by his foe's burning attack. Godzilla let out a loud roar into the air and then let out a second roar as he started charging forward at Centipor.

The King of the Monsters had his opened right hand pulled back as he ran and then swung it upward when he was up close and personal with Centipor. Godzilla's claws slashed up into Centipor's face quickly followed by his left hand claws when they were swung upward as well. Godzilla roared into Centipor's face before charging forth and ramming his body against his opponent's. Centipor rocked around for a moment before he charged forward and clasped his pincers around Godzilla's biceps.

Despite how bad it hurt and how tight Centipor's grip was, it wasn't near what it was before. Because of this, Godzilla was able to simply bat away his foe's claws and break his grip. Right after that, Godzilla began swinging his fists and laying deep and hard punches into Centipor. Each punch, like many Godzilla threw before, felt and sounded like one mountain slamming against another.

Godzilla would switch back and forth every few seconds between punching Centipor in his face and his body. Godzilla's punches kept getting harder and harder with each punch the entire time he laying into Centipor. He continued on like this for nearly half a minute before Godzilla switched to just throwing short left jabs. After three jabs, Godzilla just started laying right punch after right punch across Centipor's face in a relentless assault, the likes of which he never felt before. After over sixteen straight haymakers, Godzilla wrapped up his one sided brawl with a massive uppercut into the lower end of Centipor's mandibles.

Centipor screamed out the loudest, most pain filled, most agonized scream he had ever let out in his entire life. Every inch on his body was aching and hurting like Centipor had just went through Tartarus and back. It felt like at any moment, Centipor's body was going to start falling apart and cave in on itself from the inside out. But despite his pain, Centipor fought through it all, almost an impossible feat, to keep himself from slipping into unconscious and possibly death soon after.

Even though he felt like he was about on the step of death's door, Centipor continued on and fired forth at Godzilla with a blast of his eye beams. The beams of destructive energy hit Godzilla in his chest, igniting an explosion upon impact. Godzilla roared at Centipor in anger before the giant arthropod screeched back at him. The two titans went on roaring and screeching at each other for a few moments before Godzilla charged forth, ramming his body into Centipor's, knocking the evil kaiju back a few meters.

Godzilla roared out as he rushed forward with his open right hand raised in the air. He then slashed his claws across Centipor's face, and then did the same with his left hand claws. After slashing an X across Centipor's face twice, Godzilla spun around, smacking his tail across the side of Centipor's face, which sent him reeling back. Godzilla pressed his assault by firing his atomic breath into the front of Centipor's body and then his face. A second and a half later, Centipor fired back with a blast of his eye beams directly into Godzilla's face.

The giant reptilian monster shrieked out a roar as the beams exploded in his face. The explosion also made him stumble back as he grabbed at his now smoking face. Centipor try to take advantage by rushing forward and ramming his head into Godzilla's chest. Then he clamped his claws around Godzilla's arms and lowered his head in an attempt to bite into Godzilla's shoulder.

He never got the chance to sink his mandibles into the great alpha kaiju, for Godzilla quickly shot his atomic breath into Centipor's side. Several pieces of burnt and bloodied centipede flesh went flying into the air as Centipor cried out. Godzilla swatted Centipor's claws aside when he felt their grip loosen. Godzilla reached out his hands and grabbed a hold of his opponent as he roared.

Godzilla lurched his head forth and bit into Centipor's neck area. The giant centipede monster was desperate to escape the bite of his incredibly powerful foe. He tried to do this by swinging his tail around and into Godzilla's side. This ended up stabbing the jagged spikes at the end of his tail into Godzilla's thigh and ribs. Centipor's attack worked, making Godzilla release his bite and cry out in pain.

The grip of Godzilla's hands also loosened, which allowed Centipor to bat them away before shooting his eye beams up and down Godzilla's body. The force of the beams and the explosions they caused made the King of Monsters stumble back. Centipor shrieked out before he charged at Godzilla, his pincers stretched out in front of him to attack. He was gonna clamp them down, this time on Godzilla's throat.

Unfortunately for the arthropod, his charge didn't end up working out the way he wanted. Godzilla saw Centipor coming and quickly countered by reaching out his hands and grabbing a hold of his foe's pincers. Godzilla roared right in Centipor's face to let him know he was screwed. He then stretched out Centipor's arms at his side before quickly lowering his head and biting into the centipede's right arm.

Centipor squealed loudly as he attempted to free himself from Godzilla's grip, but it was all in vain. With the ever increasing pressure of Godzilla's bite, it wasn't long until Godzilla had bitten Centipor's arm clean off his body. The King of the Monsters ended up just ripping off Centipor's other arm with only the mighty strength without any other aid. Centipor screamed loudly while Godzilla roared in reply and tossed his opponents' severed arms aside.

Godzilla quickly fired his atomic blast, shooting it all across Centipor's body, sending more bloody pieces of flesh flying into the air. The King of Monsters kept his blast of power going for several moments before finally stopping. Nothing happened at first; Godzilla just stood and watched the motionless Centipor as his eyes very slowly looked around. Then the red glow of the evil kaiju's eyes slowly faded until it was completely out and shortly there after, Centipor fell over on his side completely lifeless.

Godzilla threw his head around before lifting it into the air to roar in celebration of his victory. He wasn't the only one happy and celebrating his win either. Far off atop the Canterlot city gate, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, and Princess Celestia were cheering and applauding as loudly as they could. The smiles on their faces almost stretched bigger than what should be physically possible, but they couldn't help themselves. All three ponies were absolutely delighted and completely relieved that Godzilla had managed to emerge victorious and most importantly, made it to the end of the fight alive.

Godzilla slowly turned until he was looking at the gate and gave it a short inspection. He wanted to make sure all was well and that there was no damage to the gate or the city itself. He was happy to see that Centipor never even came close to breaching the gate and entering the city limits. Despite the marks left when Centipor threw the train car at the gate before, it was only a minor inconvenience compared to what he would've done if Godzilla hadn't come and stopped him. Knowing this Godzilla was thankful that the damage wasn't worse because he stepped in, just like Fluttershy and the others were.

Godzilla turned to the dead carcass of Centipor and snarled in contempt. At that point he was not satisfied with just beating his evil foe. He wanted to put an exclamation point on his victory and make a statement to any other evil doers who may be nearby planning to cause harm to the land of Equestria. Godzilla thought hard until he figured out just what he would do.

The King of the Monsters stomped up to the fallen and shredded body of Centipor and grabbed a hold of it. He then began pulling it over toward the edge of the mountain side. Once he reached the very edge, Godzilla used every ounce of strength left in his body to hoist the dead Centipor up over his head. Then, with a mighty throw, Godzilla tossed Centipor over the mountain's side.

The body went plummeting down, bouncing and rolling off the mountain's side as it fell. Godzilla glared down at Centipor as he watched the dead monster's body fall before giving a hard nod of his head ans snorting out air through his nose. After that, Godzilla turned and began to slowly lumber in the direction of Canterlot to check on his best friends in the whole world.

FINALLY! After one memory wipe, switching to Windows 10 (which sucks by the way), and several computer virus attacks, I can finally share this new chapter with you all! I'm so sorry it took longer than I expected, but I had a lot of problems, most of which I just explained. I also ended up having to proofread this chapter twice, so if this isn't one of my better chapters, story wise and grammar wise, it wasn't from lack of trying. Lol

Now, I know the name Centipor came from the MARVEL Comics Godzilla series, I own the essential book of it. But, as some of you probably guessed, the monster itself bores a resemblance to the giant centipede monster from "Godzilla: the Animated Series". I gave that show another look and decided it wasn't that bad. I especially wanted to see several kaiju from that cartoon actually fight GODZILLA. Zilla Jr., as cool as he was, just wasn't the same as watching the real GODZILLA fight the kaiju. Anyways, when I saw that centipede, I knew right then and there, I wanted to see GODZILLA fight that kaiju, so for this story I made it so... number one. Lol

Though I will give you props, Godzillafan1, for suggesting Megaguirus to fight GODZILLA in this chapter. It probably should've been her, but I already had it outlined for Centipor to be the monster GODZILLA fights in this chapter. And I didn't want to rearrange this chapter or the future events of the other chapters still to come, so here we are.

Also, me typing "mane" instead of "main" in the Mane Six is intentional. Because poor literacy is kewl (cool). Lol

But anyways, I hope you all ended up liking this latest chapter. If you did, please let me know with a review. Or if you didn't like it, tell me with a review anyways, so long as the criticism is constructive that is. Also, be sure to let me know of any spelling or grammar mistakes I may have missed in proofreading so I can correct them to the best of my ability. I'm The Guy Who Likes To Write Stuff, signing off.
