Chapter 35: Chapter 35: San Flankciscolt SOS

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

They came out of nowhere or so it seemed. Two giant beasts had appeared in a flash of light right in the middle of San Flankciscolt and had been blazing a trail of destruction ever since. In the time since first arriving, the two enormous creatures of equally enormous power had traveled about a mile through the city. Neither one of them strayed too far from each other at first. They stayed side by side as they made their way through the city's depths.

The two monsters reigning in destruction to San Flankciscolt were a very terrifying duo to be sure. One was the giant dragon-like beast, Geon. This was the first kaiju to appear in modern day Equestria when he made his grand, dreadful debut on the shores of West Beach. Since then, the evil kaiju had been wreaking havoc all across the near helpless country of peace loving equines and other species that called Equestria home.

Sometimes on those rampages, he'd be stomping solo and other times he'd have one or more kaiju by his side to increase the level of chaos and destruction. This time was one of those times where he was accompanied by a partner. The two of them were among the last of the kaiju in Equestria still breathing. This particular kaiju accompanying Geon was the queen of dragonflies, the mighty Megaguirus. As one might imagine, this flying monster had many of the same physical attributes of a dragonfly, though as a kaiju, there were also several differences.

Megaguirus's main body was fifty meters in length with a wingspan of eighty meters. She had a long tail the same as normal dragonflies had. But at the end of her red tail were what looked like two grappling claws, as well as a long stinger. Unlike her tail, the rest of her body had bumpy purple skin and yellowish jagged spikes all over her that curved back. Her head was more reptilian than insectoid in appearance, as she lacked antennae.

She also possessed a reptilian tooth-filled mouth instead of two mandibles like the majority of insects do. Then there were her jagged and incredibly sharp pincers at the end of two arms she had. It was all these physical attributes, along with Megaguirus's unbelievable size that made her a picture of terror and a perfect partner in crime to Geon. The two titans of terror continued to stay close by each other as they waded through the many thousands of buildings with Geon stomping and smashing through while Megaguirus flew overhead.

As to be expected at this point, they had faced opposition from the local police and military forces, however futile as it may have been. Anything the ponies of defense may have tried to throw at the two monsters had absolutely no effect on them whatsoever. No harm fell upon the monsters from the ponies' persistent attacks. However, that hadn't stop either monster from deciding to impose their superior might upon the helpless equines.

They had quickly and very easily dispatched their small and weak opposition in a variety of ways. This included, but was not limited to, things as simple as Geon stomping down on his attackers with one of his mighty feet. He would also kick up debris at them or sweep at them with his long, mighty tail. Megaguirus would blow them away with a gust of wind from her mighty wings or drop her body down upon them. Both kaiju would also smash up buildings, causing the broken pieces to rain down upon what they considered worthless insects.

These tactics, combined with others, allowed them to completely decimate their opposers in mere seconds, which left them to do whatever they wished to the rest of the city. All that had lead up to the moment where they were now that mile into the city from where they first appeared. Suddenly, for the first time since arriving, Geon halted his approach. Megaguirus stopped as well and floated alongside her saurian companion and stared at him curiously.

Geon roared to the dragonfly queen, ordering her to go off on her own path so that they may cause double the destruction across the city. A sadistic grin crossed the unnatural face of Megaguirus as she screeched her approval and nodded her head. Geon gave her a soft growl and a quick nod of the head ordering Megaguirus to be on her way. As the giant dragonfly turned and began flying away, Geon turned his attention forward in the direction he had been stomping before roaring out and resuming his rampage.

Each step taken by the giant vertically standing dinosaur caused a loud booming rumble that echoed on a great distance. It also left a big impression of the monster's foot wherever he stepped, tearing up any street, small buildings, sides of bigger buildings, and so on wherever he stepped. Each time he lifted his foot, it would kick up several torn up pieces of debris into the air which crashed into anything that was below causing more devastation. In addition to the debris that fell from his foot, sometimes Geon would intentionally kick up even more pieces of shredded concrete, among other debris.

His legs would also occasionally smash right through the sides of buildings and any small bridges or elevated roadways like they were nothing. All of his lumbering and trying to balance his massive weight and height also led to Geon's whole body slamming into the sides of the bigger skyscrapers. Other times, it was completely intentional with him practically throwing his body against the sides of the large buildings, making them crumble under his mass.

The falling pieces of these skyscrapers would crash down into anything and everything that had been beneath the buildings that once stood proud. This included, many helpless innocent ponies trying to flee from the destruction. Because of how sudden the monsters appearance in the city was, there was absolutely no time to organize a mass evacuation of San Flankciscolt. Thus there were still many thousands, possibly even millions of ponies still left all over the city screaming in terror and running for their lives.

Unfortunately, the large group of mortified ponies in the same area as Geon weren't fast enough to avoid the pieces of skyscrapers falling down upon them. More than half the ponies were crushed under the falling debris, either to death or to the point they were paralyzed; most of who would likely die later. In addition to the debris, the fleeing ponies also had to fear Geon's ever stomping feet that carried the beast forth and crushed ponies underfoot. No pegasus, no Earth pony, no unicorn, no pony at all could avoid the devastation being wrought upon them and their city at that point

Another of Geon's instruments of destruction was his tail, which swayed back and forth behind him. In addition to sweeping debris into the air, smashing it into other areas nearby, the tail and the spiky club at the end of it would smash into the sides of buildings. This included both the ones Geon had already done damage to and ones he left previously untouched. Occasionally Geon would also swung his tail up in the air and then slammed it down on the street or a building. Depending on the size of the building, it would either end up taking out part of the structure or the entire thing. Usually the club would end up slamming into the side of the building next to the one his tail slammed into, adding to the demolition.

As Geon marched on, a skyscraper came up on his right. The sides of this particular giant of an office building was made mostly of glass, minus the framing around the glass sections. Each wall length window revealed a room within full of all sorts of items and unfortunately some innocent ponies as well. Some were hiding under desks others in bathrooms or closets and anywhere they could hide. Those who could see Geon coming watched in frozen fear as the kaiju approached the building they were in.

As soon as he was right next to the skyscraper, Geon let out a small roar as his right shoulder rammed into the side of the building. Any ponies not killed or trapped by this action instantly began screaming at the top of their lungs as they ran or flew to get away. Too little, too late it seemed as Geon intentionally thrust his entire right arm into the building. Then Geon swung his fully extended arm out of the confines of the building, taking nearly all those confines with it.

The bits and pieces of the building along with everything and everyone in it went flying across the area smashing into several different places and things. Geon stomped forward and then thrust his arm into the side of the building again. His claws were just beginning to stick out of one of the building's other sides when he swung his arm out of the crumbling skyscraper. More debris was sent flying all over the place and smashing whatever it hit.

Geon let out a short, somewhat hiss of a roar before stopping to lift his head into the air and let out a much louder roar, imposing his presence on all in earshot. Once he finished his roar, Geon resumed stomping forward. As he continued his approach, Geon couldn't help but let out another roar as his glowing red eyes searched for his next target. There was no shortage of options in the big metropolitan area; it was only a matter of Geon making up his mind of what to destroy next.

Elsewhere, a long distance away from where Geon was, another evil kaiju was on her own path of chaos and pain. Megaguirus was flying around, flapping her wings as hard as she could as her body was propelled forward and upward through the air. She would let herself fall closer to the ground before flapping her wings mightily, thus lifting her back up again. She did this to cause large gusts of wind blowing all sorts of things in every single direction possible.

Everything and everypony that was blown up into the air by Megaguirus's powerful gusts ended up crashing back down into several different things. Streets, buildings, wagons, ponies among other things were what the falling debris would crash down into, causing even more death and destruction. Megaguirus kept up this wing flapping gust for several moments before the insect kaiju changed tactics. She stiffened her wings and flew forth; the force of the wind from her passing by caused many different forms of disastrous desolation.

Every single window of the buildings Megaguirus flew past were instantly blown out. All the items in the rooms those windows belonged to were also thrown about by the powerful winds. The forceful gust also left large cracks in the sides of those buildings. Everything and everyone on street level were also sent flying up into the air. What goes up must also come down, which everything eventually did, the results being disastrous.

As Megaguirus slowed down a little, she spotted a group of ponies on the street ahead of her. Everyone of them were either running or flying as fast as they possibly could. It would never be fast enough, because as soon as she saw all those fleeing equines, Megaguirus's pupil-less red eyes widened in excitement. She let out a loud echoing screech before she sped up once more and set a course for all those ponies.

As Megaguirus got closer and closer, she began lowering herself towards the ground. The ends of her wings smashed through the sides of several buildings as she lowered herself and got closer to the crowd fleeing for their lives. When a large shadow fell over them, nearly everypony turned to see what was coming. They didn't really need to do so to know what it was, but couldn't help themselves. All who looked back let out the loudest screams they would ever scream in their lives, as well as their last.

Megaguirus nearly hit the ground, but managed to pull up before that could happen. When it was all over, the ponies that were on and flying above the street were nowhere to be found and Megaguirus's stomach felt a little more full. Megaguirus let out several more screeches as she ascended higher into the sky. Along the way up, the dragonfly couldn't resist swinging her tail down through the top of one of the taller skyscrapers, smashing the top to pieces.

Meanwhile, Geon had continued on his path of destruction, just marching forward and maybe hitting a building once in a while. This was no longer enough for the evil, vicious, cold hearted monster. He wanted more out of this rampage and he was determined to get it. To that end, Geon turned away from the main street and to a building on his right, his tail smashing through the building behind him in the process.

The building in question was just under Geon's shoulders, but the size didn't matter to him so long as he got to smash something to bits. He did not understand why he thirsted for such destruction, nor did he care. The only thing that mattered to Geon was satisfying this need to destroy, however irrational it may have been. Wasting no more time, Geon let out a roar as he lifted his right fist into the air and clubbed it down on the top of the building.

He did the same with his left fist, swinging it upward and then smashing it through the building's rooftop or what was left of it at least. Geon kept wildly swinging both fists down through the building like the wild animal he was. He did this for several seconds before swing his right leg through the building and stepping forward. As Geon's whole body smashed through what was left of the building, it all came crashing down around him, much to his delight.

Geon turned to the building to his left, once again making his tail smash into several of the buildings behind him. The giant dragon-esque creature looked behind him, taking note of the damage his tail did. A demented smile crossed the monster's face as he lifted his tail up. Then he swung his tail down, smashing his tail, club first, through as many buildings as he could get in one swing, which ended up being two full buildings and half of a third.

Geon roared out happily as he turned his attention back to the structure in front of him. It was smaller than the building he had smashed his whole body through before, but he didn't care. Geon just marched forth as he began swinging his club-like fists through the pony-made structure before kicking his right foot through the side. Geon dug his hands deeper through the building's interior, then swung them up through the top, tossing several pieces of the structure into the air.

All the debris ended up crashing into and rolling across several other buildings in the immediate area. Geon roared angrily as he stomped forth, completely destroying the building he had just been gleefully smashing before. While causing all this devastation did give Geon much pleasure, for some reason he couldn't explain, it all enraged him. The more he destroyed, the angrier he got despite all the happiness he also got from destroying.

This unnatural mix of emotions just confused and antagonized Geon further into wanting to cause more destruction. He wanted to keep making himself happy while at the same time take out all his uncontrollable anger on whatever he could. To that end Geon kicked his left foot through the side of the next building ahead of him. As he stepped forward, swinging his right leg through the building, Geon also smashed his tail club into one of the buildings on his side.

Once again, his incredible body mass smashing through a building caused nearly the entire thing to collapse around him. Still not satisfied, Geon turned and looked to the buildings on the other side of the street he had been walking on before. They were much bigger than any of the buildings he had been smashing through before. Some of them were even bigger than he was.

To Geon this seemed like a challenge and he always loved a challenge, no matter how futile it may be. The mighty monster let out a loud roar as he charged forth across the street to the skyscrapers on that side. He was so excited to start wrecking more buildings, he ended up smashing his head through the side of the first one that he came up to. The rest of his body soon followed as he wildly swung his arms, legs, tail, and even his head around.

As the giant skyscraper fell all around him, Geon looked impatiently for what to destroy next. He spotted the building on his left and didn't hesitate to swing his tail through it as he roared psychotically. He kept swinging his tail back and forth and didn't stop until the entire building was nothing but a pile of rubble. Geon roared as he turned to admire his handy work before walking forward to stomp on the remains of the structure.

Geon's eyes caught sight of a skyscraper before him. Unlike the bulky buildings he had smashed before, this one was rather skinny. It was still incredibly tall, though, which made it an instant target to Geon. The monster let out a growling roar as he pulled his right fist back then thrust it forth.

The giant monster's fist and arm smashed right through the side of the building and ended up sticking out of the other side. Geon kicked his left foot through the building, making it also stick out of the other side of the structure. Geon then punched his left hand into the building before slamming his head into it and then walking forward. As Geon's body came crashing through it, the skinny skyscraper completely fell apart like so many before it.

Geon waved his head around as he roared out viciously before looking for his next target. He spotted a large construction crane which stood atop a building not too far from him. Geon reached out his hand and grabbed a hold of the crane, then ripped it off the rooftop it had previously rested upon. The monster looked at several of the buildings around him before letting out a loud roar and then swinging the crane in his hands around.

The crane bent and ripped to pieces as it crashed through several buildings, tearing them apart and sending the rubble pouring to the ground. Geon swung the construction crane around a few more times before lifting what was left of it up to his face. He examined it for several seconds before opening his mouth and biting down on the mangled and deformed construction crane. Geon pulled his head back, ripping the crane pieces in his mouth apart from the ones still in his hands.

Geon bit down on the crane pieces several times before then spitting them out and letting out an agitated roar. While a death call to most ponies this roar was music to the ears of at least one, who was cackling like crazy at the sound of the roar. This particular pony was a dark figure, the likes of which is very rarely seen in the land of Equestria. In fact, it was this same, dark, evil, borderline psychotic pony who had released these two evil kaiju upon Equestria, along with their now deceased brethren.

"Glorious!" King Sombra shouted with sick joy. "Simply glorious! Everything is going the way it is suppose to. Even better, with kaiju attacks happening in different places of Equestria far from here, those bratty fillies and their pet lizard will be too busy to try and stop me. That means I will finally have my revenge. Beware, Princess Cadance and Prince Shinning Armor... I'm coming for you."

The dark tyrant was standing on the roof of one of San Flankciscolt's bigger skyscrapers. It was nowhere near where Geon was having his rampage, nor was it located where Megaguirus was having hers. He was somewhere in the middle so he could watch both kaiju trash the city under his command to do so. He watched for the longest time with an dark grin on his face, though at that moment it had turned into an angry glare.

"I had to go through and sacrifice a lot to get here," said King Sombra. "I thought I was finished for good once before and then again. But now here I stand triumphantly as my minions of desolation wreck havoc to the poor, little, helpless ponies of Equestria. HA! They think they're helpless now? Wait until what's left of Equestria is mine.

"While things may not have gone exactly to my original plan and I may have lost the majority of my giant army... and Equestria may have gotten a beast of its own, that no longer matters. I still have at least two kaiju, both of which are on their own worth more than any army that could possibly be put together by ponykind or any other race. Plus, the moment that matters the most... well, almost the most, is here at last.

"All I have to do now is take my revenge upon those who so foolishly believe themselves to be the rulers of my Crystal Empire. Then I shall turn my kaiju upon Equestria's guardian beast, that is if he's still alive after facing Centipor, and have my monsters tear him to pieces. Seeing their oh mighty protector die before their eyes will break the spirits of all those bratty mares and princesses alike and any other pony who would stand in my way. Then I shall take them down myself... Then I shall be ruler of all that I see!"

King Sombra lifted his head into the air and cackled as wickedly and as loudly as he ever had in his life. When his laughs were drowned out by the roars of Geon, the evilly grinning unicorn stallion turned to gaze at his kaiju general. The black pony trotted over to the side of the building closest to where Geon was. He stood up on his hind legs and draped his forelegs over the railing that surrounded the roof so he could get a good view of Geon's demolition.

Geon smashed his way through a building as he made his way back out onto the street. He looked to his left, which was the direction he had been walking in before he went off the street and started smashing up buildings. King Sombra was using his enhanced mind control spell to command Geon to continue in that direction. The giant dinosaur looking kaiju did just as his master commanded, never once questioning why he did so or questioned any of the other things he had done up to that point.

King Sombra's smile faded temporarily as his ears picked up the sounds of Megaguirus's screeches coming from the other direction. The dark unicorn turned his head and looked back to the other end of the building he stood atop of. He then used his magic to teleport to that side and draped himself over the railing as he scanned for the mutant dragonfly. It didn't take King Sombra long to spot her and when he did, the evil unicorn was grinning wickedly once more.

Megaguirus was flying very low, just more than a few feet above the tops of several buildings. They weren't as tall as the skyscrapers of the city, but they weren't small like the shops and houses either; they were somewhere in the middle. The queen of the dragonflies gazed down at the potential targets for several moments before letting out a loud screech. The giant mutant bug began slamming her stinger through the roofs of as many buildings as she could.

She'd swing the end of her tail down through the structure she flew over then lift it up only to swing it down into the next. Sometimes Megaguirus would slam her stinger down on the building right below her and sometimes she would switch between a building on the left or on the right. The only constant was she kept flying straight on the entire time she was doing this attack. At one point Megaguirus swung her head down and bit through the top of a building before spitting the pieces in her mouth up into the air.

Megaguirus stuck her pincers out at her sides and lowered them down until they were smashing through all kinds of buildings. The flying monster continued on like this for eight seconds before she let out a screech and tossed her pincers up into the air, sending lots of debris up as well. It all came crashing back down into several other buildings, plus into the streets and everything on them. Megaguirus swung her stinger down through the top of one building and kept it down there to smash through several more for at least ten seconds.

Eventually Megaguirus began flying higher into the air looking to go after some of the larger buildings. As Megaguirus flew higher she noticed that she was coming up on one of the smaller skyscrapers. The giant dragonfly waited until she was just above it then let her whole body drop down upon the building. She also swung her stinger through the side of the crumbling structure just before she started flapping her wings to get airborne again.

As she started flying up into the air, Megaguirus noticed a second skyscraper, this one much bigger than the previous. Like before she waited until she was just above the building before she let herself drop on top of it. As the building began to crumble under her weight, Megaguirus swung her stinger through the side of it exactly the same way she had done to the structure before. After that Megaguirus flapped her wings to get herself back into the air yet again.

Megaguirus came up on a third skyscraper, which was the biggest one yet for her. Upon flying up right above it, she repeated the same process she had done two times previously. After she crashed her body down upon the skyscraper, she flew downward at a thirty degree angle. This led to her smashing through the side of one building and crashing out through the other.

As she was flying high above the city, Megaguirus decided it was time to reveal one of her secret weapons. The mutant bug let out a screech as her tail stinger separated from the rest of her body and launched down at the city. Suddenly a second stinger sprouted in place of the now disconnected one, but that also got launched down, followed by a third. All three stingers launched like missiles suddenly broke into several hundred smaller pieces which began pelting into the devastated city below, ripping apart whatever they touched.

Megaguirus flew around in a horizontal loop before landing gently down upon the roof of a medium sized building. This time it seemed like she was going out of her way to see to it that she didn't make the building crumble to pieces. While that's how it turned out, there was still small bits of damage done by Megaguirus's huge mass. Still watching from afar was none other than the wicked King Sombra.

The smiling dark pony's horn was glowing in an aura that was a mixture of black, lime green, and a purplish blue. At that moment, he was using his seemingly limitless supply of dark magic to cast several spells on both Geon and Megaguirus. He was controlling their minds telling them to destroy all that he so desired and was using a spell that could effect their emotions. For this he made them feel two very conflicting emotions, those being happiness and anger.

He did this in hopes that this incredibly unusual mix of emotions would confuse and also agitate them into wanting to cause even more destruction. King Sombra was extremely pleased to see that this tactic seemed to be working. At that moment, the dark tyrant was using his mind control spell to command Megaguirus to reveal yet another of her powerful secret weapons. The queen of the dragonflies had no choice but to obey the orders of her king.

As Megaguirus stood perched atop the building of her choice, her wings began flapping. However, she was not being lifted into the air like what was usually suppose to happen. Instead, the rate of speed which Megaguirus's wings flapped increased to a speed which no pegasus could hope to reach. She kept increasing the speed until her wings were barely even visible and were more of a blur like what regular insect wings typically were like when in flight.

After a short moment of Megaguirus's wings increasing the velocity of which they flapped, the giant insect gave out a loud screech before taking off. She flew forth at a speed that should've been impossible for a living creature of her size. Megaguirus was moving so fast in fact, that she let out a super sonic shockwave wherever she flew. This wave of sonic force ripped apart any and all buildings it came into contact with.

These pieces would end up falling down to the streets of the city below crashing down on anything and anypony still left. What was even worse for the ponies is that although they tried to run, they were stopped by the loud piercing buzz that Megaguirus's wings made from flapping so fast. It was so bad in fact that they were practically forced to stop in their tracks and cover their ears. Even King Sombra, who was nowhere near the range of Megaguirus or her shockwave found himself putting his front hooves up to his ears the buzzing was so bad.

However, unlike the others who heard it, Sombra was safe from the falling debris that crushed all it fell upon. Megaguirus would continue on like this for a long distance, the likes of which nopony was able to measure at that moment. As terror struck even further into the hearts of every good, decent pony in that city, King Sombra was just eating up all the chaos his beasts of destruction caused with their rampage.

"Yes, everypony, run and scream as you will!" King Sombra shouted at the top of his lungs. "You're negative feelings serve to feed my magic and make me more powerful."

This was true, for one of the things that effected the flow of magic in Equestria was the emotional state of its inhabitants. Sombra was pleased he had such a large amount of dark magic required for such feats as he was pulling off, namely controlling the minds and emotions of his kaiju. Had it not been for his sucking up all the magic contained in the seal that originally trapped the kaiju in their prison, and converting it to dark magic, his plans would've been lost. He could never have hoped to take control of the kaiju otherwise.

Even if his magic was at the level it was when he was ruler of the Crystal Empire it would've been impossible. Without the incredibly large amount of extra energy he got from the seal, he wouldn't be able to control the kaiju or even barely do anything at all. Also, he had just gotten out of Tartarus, which was a task nearly impossible in of itself. He was just barely holding on before and now he felt like he could take over the world, which he was sure to give a try.

"This is all going perfectly!" King Sombra shouted joyously. His expression turned dark and grim as he teleported to the other end of his skyscraper. "But now it's time to stop messing around and take care of the main reason we came here in the first place. Go forth, Geon, and show them what you can really do!"

The glow of King Sombra's horn began to brighten as he sent out a new command to the rampaging dragon-like monster. When Geon's mind picked up these new commands, he stopped dead in his tracks just as his right knee hit the side of a smaller building. He briefly looked around as if in search of where these commands came from and for the first time questioning them. However, he quickly forgot about this and went back to just commanding the orders.

Geon looked to his right at the rows upon rows of small, medium, and extra large buildings of San Flankciscolt. As he gazed on, the the single row of curved up spikes running from his tail up his back to the top of his head began to glow. It was a bright, almost blood red glow that increased in intensity as seconds passed. Geon opened up his mouth to reveal a similar red light building up within the confines of his maw.

A short time later, the light from Geon's mouth was unleashed forth in the form of a huge beam of burning, explosive energy. The beam traveled a short distance before it hit the side of a building, which ignited a huge explosion that instantly vaporized the pony-made structure. The explosion was so powerful, it ended up taking two other buildings with it. Geon gazed with psychotic delight at the towering inferno he created that replaced the three buildings it destroyed.

As the light of the fire slowly faded from his eyes, Geon turned away. It appeared as though there was a grin upon the beast's face when he looked to the rows of building on his left. Geon's spikes began glowing yet again just before he fired another shot of his red mouth beam. He aimed the beam so it would travel a little bit of a distance before blasting through the side of one of the tallest skyscrapers in San Flankciscolt.

The top half of the skyscraper immediately began to fall, crashing into the side of another skyscraper right next to it. That skyscraper continued the domino effect as it fell down upon several smaller buildings around it. Geon watched with joy as the cluster of buildings crumbled into one giant heap. Then the giant monster looked back to his right and fired his red mouth beam once more.

He moved his head upward aiming the beam in a straight line, leaving behind a continuous explosion as he did so. Geon changed the course of his beam, leading it downward creating a second wave of explosive fire next to the first one. The giant reptilian kaiju didn't bother to admire the buildings he destroyed or the fire he created. Instead he turned to his left and fired off yet another blast of his mouth beam.

When the powerful wave of energy hit the side of a building, it made the structure instantly explode into a million pieces. Geon started to slowly turn his head, aiming his mouth beam across the way to destroy even more buildings. Geon continued on like this for nine or ten seconds before he finally ceased fire. All that was left where those buildings used to be was a towering wall of burning hot flames.

Geon looked ahead of him before firing his beam, aiming it up and down several times on the street he had been walking on. When he was done, Geon roared out before walking through the flames left by the explosions his beam created. Once Geon had left that small piece of devastation behind him, he instantly went to work to create more. Geon shot off another blast of his red beam, aiming to the right as he did so.

Geon's beam didn't hit any targets until it was a good distance away, maybe two hundred yards. When it did hit something, there wasn't any shortage of fire filled explosions. Geon slowly turned his head to the left, aiming his beam across the city, which destroyed all it touched. Geon didn't stop firing until his head was completely turned in the opposite direction from where he had begun his extended beam strike.

Once it was over, there was a giant wall of fire several hundred meters across. These tall standing flames replaced several skyscrapers that took a lot of hard work spanning several years for many prideful construction ponies to make. Years and years of hard work were destroyed in mere seconds by a power more mighty than anypony could possibly imagine. All of this was much to the delight of the black hearted unicorn who ordered that power to do it all.

"Oh, there's definitely gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight!" King Sombra shouted before letting out a loud laugh. "I'm sure that really burns everypony up! But then again, if ya can't take the heat, run as fast as your hooves can carry your fat flanks! Geon, your inferno wave attack works better than even I could've imagined!... Now, let's turn it on the ponies who deserve it the most."

Those ponies the dark lord was speaking of were also amongst the confines of the city and were watching the horrid scene of chaos, death, and destruction. Further up past Geon on the opposite side of the fire wall he made stood San Flankciscolt city hall. The house of the city's governing body was of Beaux-Arts architecture design built during the City Beautiful movement. The dome which was built into the middle of the structure was the fifth largest in the entire world.

This usually calm place of office and conference for the seat of government instantly went on high alert to near chaotic levels when the kaiju appeared. Once one of those monsters began to get too close for comfort, the chaos was moved out of the building in a panic. Nearly the whole building had been evacuated except for a few select ponies. Among them were several uniformed officers and military ponies and the mayor of the crumbling city.

But perhaps the two most important ponies there at that moment were visitors from another great city in the country of Equestria. They had been there for talks which they hoped would lead to better trade relations between San Flankciscolt and the city they ruled over. They couldn't have imagined that on a day that was suppose to be about peaceful visitation and discussion, tragedy would strike. One of those visitors stood atop the roof of city hall watching the horrible scene of the city being ripped apart by two blood thirsty monsters.

Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, better known simply as Cadance, was staring out in wide eyed horror the entire time Geon was wrecking the city and coming closer to city hall. She, like the rest of Equestria, had been aware of the existence of the kaiju for quite a while now. In fact she, along with her husband, was at the meeting where their origins were revealed. That meeting was held shortly after the first two kaiju attacks occurred that very same day. It was this same meeting where they were looked for a solution to the kaiju problem.

Princess Cadance had secretly hoped and prayed that she would never ever have to witness an actual kaiju attack up close and in person. After hearing such horrible tales from the days before, Cadance knew she never wanted to see it herself. Selfish as it may have been, Cadance had silently wished she'd be the last pony to have to experience the destruction caused by such terrible monsters. This was something she'd never admit to of course.

But now here she was in the thick of it all, perhaps as some sort of karma for making such wishes. Now that Princess Cadance was one of the many ponies who bore witness to a kaiju attack, and one of the few still living, she couldn't take it. It was all the horror she imagined it was and far more. All the smashing, all the crashing, all the crushing, all the explosions, all the fire, all the smoke, all the screams, all the cries, all the running, all the death.

It all made Cadance want to curl up into a ball somewhere deep and dark and hide away from the monsters destroying her country's cities and ponies. She was even more scared at that moment in San Flankciscolt than when she had been kidnapped and thrown in the crystal caves under Canterlot by Queen Chrysalis. Despite all these horrible thoughts and feelings running through her mind and even her soul, Princess Cadance did not give into them. She was crying all sorts of tears of fear, despair, and sorrow, but she didn't run away screaming or tried to hide like she wanted to.

She wondered, was it because she couldn't bring herself to move and was paralyzed with fear? Or was it because she felt it would be wrong to run away in the face of danger when there were several other ponies who were suffering? Cadance couldn't bring herself to think clearly enough to figure out the answer, nor did she have time to.

"Cadance!"

Upon hearing the voice of her husband calling her name, the pink alicorn turned to see Shining Armor running up to her. He was accompanied by several uniformed stallions and mares, as well as Polished Hoof, the mayor of San Flankciscolt. The mayor was a stallion with taffy fur, a white mane and tail, and a shiny hoof for a cutie mark.

"Sweetie, what are you doing out here?!" Polished Hoof asked in alarm. "You should be getting ready to head out with the rest of us!"

"He's right, Cadance, we've got to get out of here right now!" Shining Armor said with urgency.

There wasn't a response at first because Cadance was trying to tear herself away from staring out at the city and pay full attention to the ponies around her.

"CADANCE!" Prince Shining Armor and Mayor Polished Hoof shouted at the same time.

This finally snapped the young mare out of her daze, making her turn to the ponies trying to get her attention.

"What?!" Princess Cadance practically shouted out.

"We need to get out of here!" said Prince Shining Armor.

"I know, I know!" said Princess Cadance. "Is everybody out and safe?!"

"Far as we could tell," Polish Hoof said as he looked to the uniformed ponies. They confirmed it by nodding their heads and saying so at the same time. "Yeah, we're pretty much sure we're set."

"Okay, I... I just wanted to make sure is all," said Princess Cadance.

"I know, sweetie, and we all appreciate your concern," said Polished Hoof. Then he shouted, "We just really gotta get out of here right now!"

"Did you at least send the letters to Twilight and your aunts?!" Prince Shining Armor asked urgently.

"Yes, I did several minutes ago," Cadance replied.

"AND?!" everypony asked together.

"I only got a response from Spike saying Twilight and her friends were out of town in Appleloosa and they took Godzilla with them!" Princess Cadance explained.

Everypony gasped in alarm.

"Oh, no!" Polished Hoof practically cried.

"That was our biggest hope," said a pegasus stallion.

"Maybe our only one," an Earth pony mare added.

"What about the princesses?!" Shining Armor asked.

"Still no reply yet!" said Princess Cadance.

"Darn!" Prince Shining Armor shouted.

"Well, we don't have time to wait for one," the sangria pegasus stallion from earlier pointed out.

"He's right," said Prince Shining Armor. "We need to evacuate right now!"

"What about evacuating the rest of the city?" Cadance asked. "What's the status on that?"

"Last time we sent word out was to inform all remaining personal that focus has been completely shifted to getting everypony out of the city or to the shelters," said the magenta colored Earth pony mare from before.

"But we haven't had a status update since then," added a third uniformed pony, a lilac colored Earth pony stallion. "We lost all contact afterwards."

"Look, sweetie, I know you love everypony and you're concerned about everyone's well being, which is very admirable," said Polished Hoof. "But now is the time where we need to start thinking about ourselves!"

"The mayor's right, Cadance honey!" Prince Shining Armor said urgently. "I'm sure the defense force is doing everything they can for the civilian ponies. Now we need to do everything we can for us! That thing is heading in our direction!" Shining Armor pointing his hoof to the wall of fire which hid away the monster Geon behind it. "I know it sounds bad, but we have to lookout for ourselves!"

"Do we?!" Princess Cadance asked as she stared sharply at her husband and the other ponies.

They were all taken aback by the princess's sudden shift in mood.

"What?!" Prince Shining Armor asked in confusion. "Cadance-"

"Shining Armor, look!" Cadance turned her stare to the city, shortly followed by her husband and the other ponies. "Do you see that skyscraper all the way out there?!"

The white furred stallion scanned the horizon for the building his wife was speaking of. He didn't do or say anything until he was sure he found it.

"Yeah, I think so," Prince Shining Armor said after spotting a particular skyscraper a long distance away to the east, which he pointed to. "That one?"

"Yes, that one," Princess Cadance replied. "In addition to the waves of dark magic that surround both of the monsters, I've been sensing a third wave coming from the area around that skyscraper. I think it's King Sombra. I think he's here in this city looking for us specifically."

"But how did he know we would be here?" Shining Armor asked.

"I don't know how," said Princess Cadance. "But I think he's using the same magic detector spell to find us that I used to find him."

"I thought only alicorns could use such a spell," said Polished Hoof.

"So did I," said Princess Cadance. "But I guess he figured out someway to use it, too."

"That's all the more reason why we should leave here right now!" Prince Shining Armor insisted.

"Don't you get it?!" Princess Cadance demanded. "It doesn't matter where we go! If he can use the detection spell, he'll find us wherever we go! And if we go with you, mayor, and you other ponies, we'd be putting you in danger."

Shining Armor's face turned cold with shock and realization. He finally understood what his wife was trying to get at with what she was saying. Both those monsters wrecking the whole city were doing so while they were searching for him and Cadance. They may also enjoy destroying the city while searching, but overall they wanted Shining Armor and Cadance because their master said so. They would stop at nothing until they had the royal couple cornered, then they would end it.

"Okay, Cadance, you win," said Shining Armor. "But now that we know, what are we going to do?!"

"We have two options," said Princess Cadance. "We can try running and hope the monsters will follow us and try to lead them out of the city."

"What's the second option?" Prince Shining Armor asked.

His wife's expression became more serious than it had ever looked in her entire life as she said, "We surrender ourselves to King Sombra and his kaiju."

Everypony else found themselves once again sharing a collective gasp.

"You mean sacrifice ourselves in hope that this rampage will stop?" Shining Armor asked.

Cadance nodded her head before saying, "What else can we do? Every minute several ponies are dying because these monsters are running rampant looking for us." She pointed to the mayor and the military ponies with him. "They're in danger right now just being here with us."

"We're willing to take that risk to protect you both and get you to safety!" the sangria pegasus insisted.

Though half the uniformed ponies seemed to agree, the others looked to be unsure.

"Now, now, let's all calm down and not jump to any conclusions," said Polished Hoof. "Now, princess, sweetie, Your Highness, I respect what your trying to do and all, but surely-"

The mayor of San Flankciscolt was cut off by the sound of Geon's inferno wave attack rushing through the wall of flames. Everypony turned in alarm to see the beam as it hit two buildings, instantly consuming both in an explosion. They all looked on, some of them actually screaming, at the scene taking place before their eyes.

The attention of everypony standing on the roof of city hall was taking when they heard the low moaning roar of the monster that fired the beam they saw. They all looked to the wall of fire as their ears picked up the low growls of a huge predator. They saw a silhouette forming in the flames, one they recognized instantly that struck more fear into their hearts. It wasn't long before they saw the red glow of the monster's eyes.

Seconds later, Geon's head broke through the wall of flames. For that split moment all anypony could see was his wickedly grinning face, red eyes, and the streams of smoke flowing from the sides of his mouth. The rest of Geon's body came out of the fire only seconds later when the monster decided to roar out. At that point, almost everypony decided how they would respond to this incoming threat.

"Your Majesties, you do whatever you want, but we're heading out and I strongly advise you do the same!" Mayor Polished Hoof said before running off with half of the uniformed ponies.

The last seven stayed behind with both Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor.

"Aren't you going to go-?"

"It's like Strong Wing said, princess," said the magenta colored Earth pony mare. "We're here to serve and protect, especially when it comes to two important ponies such as yourselves."

Shining Armor and Cadance looked around at the uniformed ponies that surrounded them. Most of them had the hard expressions most soldiers had. However, when their eyes fell the sangria pegasus identified as Strong Wing, he had a reassuring smile on his face. As if that weren't enough, Strong Wing even gave a nod of his head, followed by the rest of the uniformed ponies.

"Well, while we thank you for your bravery, I'm afraid we can't accept your offers," said Princess Cadance.

"But-"

"She's right," Shining Armor insisted. "Nothing can protect us now. The best thing for you to do is go out and try to help everypony else that you can."

"But Prince-"

"That's a direct order!" Shining Armor said with strong authority in his voice.

"Do as we say, go away!" Princess Cadance commanded. "Go help the ponies in need out in the city! Right now!"

"Yes, Your Majesties!" every uniformed pony said together.

They offered a quick salute before they took off for the exit, though none of them really wanted to leave behind the prince and princess. In fact, several of the soldiers took one last glance back at the royal couple before heading inside. The white stallion and pink alicorn both smiled gratefully and reassuringly at the group of defense ponies who were so worried about them. That was the ponies' cue to turn around and leave, even though they had strong hesitations about doing so.

"You could go with them you know," said Princess Cadance. "You were a captain of the royal guard at one time and that monster can't chase us both if we're in separate areas."

"I'd rather you be the one going with them," said Prince Shining Armor. "It's possible you'd be more safe with them. But there's no guarantee that thing would chase the one we wanted him to. And besides that, there's still another kaiju flying around out there somewhere that could chase one of us while the dragon thing was chasing the other."

"Oh... that's right," Princess Cadance said in a sad tone. "Then I guess the only way we can do this is together."

"That's the way I've always wanted it to be, no matter what it is we did," said Prince Shining Armor.

The blue maned unicorn lifted a fore hoof and placed it upon the side of his wife's face. The visibly upset mare lifted a hoof to rub against her husband's. She looked up to see him smiling at her trying to appear hopeful, which she returned in kind, though her smile seemed more sad than anything. Cadance was grateful that Shining Armor was there with her, so much so that she embraced him, which he did as well.

The couple shared a deep, compassionate kiss, after which they spent a little time holding each other and smiling.

"So... what should we do now, sweetie?" Princess Cadance asked.

Shining Armor didn't have anytime to give a reply. At that moment, the crackling noise and bright glow of Geon's inferno wave reached the ears and eyes of the royal couple. Cadance and Shining Armor both turned to see Geon had gotten much closer and was about a hundred meters away. They also saw him aiming his inferno wave up and down the area to his left, making it destroy all it touched.

When he was done, Geon let out a loud roar before walking through a building right in front of him that came up to his waistline. The giant dinosaur-esque kaiju had city hall in his sights as he slowly approached. The grin on his face seemed to intensify with excitement. Geon lifted his head into the air and waved it around as he roared out a loud, booming roar meant to instill even more fear into the hearts of those still alive to hear it.

Both Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadance were looking up at the approaching tower of terror they knew as a kaiju. Their eyes were wide with fear and their bodies were shaking so much it felt like they could fall apart. The two of them had never been more scared at any other point in their lives. But through it all, they stood their ground, holding each other's hoof in theirs as they watched the monster come closer.

Geon shook his head from side to side as he let out a growling roar and his spikes began to glow red, as did the inside of his mouth. Suddenly his charge up was interrupted when a crash of thunder suddenly boomed and echoed on loudly through the air. Geon turned around and looked off in the distance where the clap of thunder had come from. Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor couldn't help but look as well, nor could another onlooker.

"What?!" King Sombra exclaimed loudly.

He was still standing on the roof of the skyscraper he had been on since the beginning of the attack on the city. The dark lord was furious that Geon's final strike had been interrupted by this loud thundering sound and he was determined to discover the cause of it. What he and all others saw was a bright light from a long distance away. It must have been several hundred meters at least, though it was still closer than where Geon and Megaguirus had first appeared.

Geon gazed at the light in bewildered curiosity as he titled his head to the side. Cadance and Shining Armor looked at it with awe and wonder, while also hoping it was a beacon telling them help had finally arrived. King Sombra was just staring at it with anger while also wanting it know what it was.

"What is that light, Shining Armor?"

"I don't know, Cadance dear. It's so strange."

There was a second clap of thunder as the glow of the light intensified. It was so bright that Sombra, Cadance, and Shining Armor all had to turn away, while Geon merely squinted his eyes. Only seconds later did the light return to its previous intensity of brightness. When everypony turned back to the light, they were astonished to find a much smaller orb of light had appeared out of it and was flying through the air.

"No, this cannot be!" King Sombra shouted in anger. "It can't be them! How could they get here like that all the way from the other side of Equestria?! They aren't powerful enough to conjure such magic! They can't be!... Can they?!... Did they bring... him?! How could they?! How could he have survived those kaiju I threw at him before?! It's impossible! WHY?!"

The orb sailed through the air at great speed. Geon, Cadance, Shining Armor, and Sombra all followed the path of the orb with their eyes, most of them never taking sight off it. All the while he was watching the orb fly, King Sombra was growling, which intensified until he let out an extremely angry scream.

"Megaguirus!" King Sombra shouted as he looked away to the area where the dragonfly had been flying around. His horn began glowing brighter as he began to intensify the hold his control spell had on Megaguirus's mind. "Hide yourself away. If this turns out to be those Ponyville brats and they have brought their kaiju with them, we must catch them by surprise. Geon can handle him well enough, but if it turns out he needs assistance, then you must come out of hiding and be there to aid your brother! Now do as I say! Do it now, my winged best of destruction!"

Far away from where Geon and the orb were, Megaguirus had been flying around when her mind picked up the new orders from her master. The dragonfly turned her head to the skyscraper her master stood upon and let out a screech as she nodded her head. The giant bug then flew away before she found a line of skyscrapers more than twice the size of Geon. She flew around to the other side of the buildings and grabbed onto the side of one of them to wait for when Sombra commanded her to attack.

Meanwhile, the orb had finally lowered in altitude as it passed by Geon. Shining Armor and Cadance were a little concerned when they saw it was coming towards them. The orb fell from the air until it landed right in front of the royal couple on the roof of city hall. The stallion and alicorn covered their eyes while still trying to get a decent look at the orb.

They were both surprised when the orb of light faded away, but even more surprised to see what it had left behind.

"We made it!" said Rainbow Dash.

"YAY!" Pinkie Pie screamed at the top of her lungs.

The Mane Six had finally arrived in San Flankciscolt.

"Twilight!" Princess Cadance exclaimed.

"Twily!" Prince Shining Armor exclaimed at the same time.

"Shining, Cadance!" Twilight Sparkle let out in joy and relief.

Everypony began speaking at the same time as they ran up to greet each other and show how happy they were one another was okay. There were joyful words and hugs among other signs of affection all around. When it was over, everypony took a step back to give one another a chance to breathe.

"You have no idea how glad I am to see you right now, Twilight!" Cadance exclaimed.

"I'm happy to see you, too, Twily!" Shining Armor added.

"But how did you get here?!" Cadance asked .

"Yeah, we thought you were in Appleloosa!" Shining Armor inquired further.

"WITH THESE!" the Mane Six said together as they displayed their gold and gem accessories.

Both Cadance and Shining Armor gasped in surprise.

"The Elements of Harmony," the royal couple said together.

"Eeyup," said Applejack.

"We've been using these to get around a lot lately," said Rarity.

"Yep-a-rooney, our own personal taxi!" said Pinkie Pie.

Before anypony could say anything else, the roar of Geon rang through the air. They all turned to see the monster walking in their direction. Some gasped while others screamed at the sight of the evil kaiju so close to them. There wasn't a moment to waste and Twilight was quick to act.

"Everypony, activate the Elements, now!"

The rest of the Mane Six did as Twilight Sparkle ordered and began concentrating. It wasn't long before all the gems of the Elements of Harmony began glowing. The Mane Six moved until they surrounded Shining Armor and Cadance in a circle. This allowed the two to get caught in the orb of light the Mane Six's Elements made around them.

As soon as the orb was fully formed, it took off from the top of city hall just as Geon's inferno wave came blazing down upon it. After the building exploded into several burning pieces, Geon looked to the orb of light and watched it fly away from him at a speed he couldn't hop to match. Elsewhere, King Sombra, who had also seen the orb flying away, was screaming at the top of his lungs.

"NO! NO! NO! NO! I was so close! You were so close, Geon! How could you fail me?! Curse those Ponyville brats! I hate those worthless foals!"

While the tyrant was screaming, the orb had traveled several hundred meters away from where Geon was before it finally settled on the roof of another large building. When the orb faded the Mane Six, Princess Cadance, and Prince Shining Armor were all completely safe and sound with no injuries whatsoever.

"Everypony alright?" Twilight Sparkle asked urgently. All on the roof reassured her they were alright. "Great."

"Alright, Twilight, what do we do next?!" Applejack asked.

"Well... I guess the best thing we can do is try to get Cadance and Shining Armor out of the city or to a shelter."

"No, we can't do anything like that," said Princess Cadance.

"We can't go anywhere with a large group of civilian ponies," said Prince Shining Armor.

"Why not?" Rarity asked.

"Because that thing is after us," said Shining Armor.

"And us alone," Cadance added.

Everypony turned to look out upon Geon who was now randomly stomping around on a senseless rampage.

"I knew it would be Geon," Twilight Sparkle said in a solemn voice.

"Yeah, looks like we're late for the party... again."

"This isn't a party, Applejack," Pinkie Pie said in an upset tone. "I know parties and they've never looked anything like this."

At that moment, Geon fired off a blast of his inferno wave from his mouth. It ended up hitting and destroying a building on his right about fifty meters in height and a hundred and eight meter wide. The sight made everypony gasp or scream as their eyes widened with terror.

"I knew it the moment I saw him that first time at the beach,," said Rarity. "That... Th-That monster... i-i-i... is-"

"Is one nasty dude," Rainbow Dash finished up.

"Indeed, he is," Rarity said as Geon roared in the background.

"But what about Megaguirus?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah, I thought you said that dragonfly thing would be here, too, Twilight," said Rainbow Dash.

"And didn't you say in your message, Cadance, that there were two monsters attacking the city? Rarity asked.

"Yes, I did and there was a second monster flying around here. Then it just... disappeared."

"Well, how can that be?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Can Megaguirus disappear or camouflage itself?" Fluttershy asked.

"I don't think so," said Twilight Sparkle. "I'm pretty sure Sombra just has her hiding somewhere so she can attack either us or Godzilla when we least expect it."

Cadance's and Shining Armor's expressions perked up slightly.

"Did you say Godzilla?!" Princess Cadance asked urgently.

"You say Godzilla's coming here?!" Shining Armor asked.

"Well, did you notice the portal didn't close as soon as we came out like it should've?" Rainbow Dash asked.

The royal couple turned to see the light from afar was just then disappearing from sight. This also caught the attention of Geon who was now staring off in the direction it had been emanating from. He sniffed at the air a few times before he began snarling in anger. Geon let out a loud roar that echoed through the air. The loudness of the echoing call of war made almost everypony flinch back, except for Twilight Sparkle.

"He's challenging," said Twilight.

Nopony even asked who or what Twilight was referring to. It was pretty obvious to them at that point. The point was driven further home when a low, bellowing roar rang out in answer to Geon's challenge. The evil kaiju snorted in contempt before he began stomping off to meet the challenge head on.

"Okay, everypony, with Sombra and his kaiju distracted, we have to think fast and figure out what our next move is!" Twilight Sparkle said with a sense of urgency.

The alicorn and her friends all huddled close together.

"Well, I think it's obvious isn't it?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yeah, we use the Elements of Harmony to open a portal to the Crystal Empire and have Cadance and Shining go through to safety," said Applejack.

"Just what I was thinking," said Rarity.

"Wait, I don't think that is the way to go."

"Why not, Shining Armor?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Because, while Geon may be fighting Godzilla, there's still a third kaiju in this equation. One that can fly really fast. There's no guarantee Sombra will have it help Geon fight Godzilla. He could order her to keep looking for us while Godzilla is kept busy by Geon."

"Also, Sombra obviously has a teleportation spell of his own," Princess Cadance added. "That's the only way these two could appear out of nowhere in the middle of the city without somepony seeing them before. He could teleport Megaguirus to go after us."

"You think he would?" Fluttershy asked.

"At this point, I believe Sombra is insane enough to do anything," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Then what are we suppose to do?!" Rarity asked.

"There's only one thing that can be done," said Princess Cadance. The pink alicorn looked to her sister-in-law. "You six are here to finally take Sombra out once and for all, right?"

Twilight Sparkle nodded her head as she said," Mm hmm, yeah, that's right."

"Then... me and Shining Armor will have to help you take him down!" Princess Cadance said with a hardened expression.

The Mane Six all shared a collective gasp. They couldn't believe what they just heard Cadance even suggest, especially since one of the main reasons they came was to protect her and Shining Armor both. They were even more shocked when they saw Shining Armor walk up closer to Cadance's side and nod in agreement.

"NO!" the Mane Six all shouted together.

"Absolutely not!" Rarity exclaimed.

"Completely out of the question!" Twilight Sparkle reinforced.

"We appreciate your bravery and nobility, but we can't ask the two of you to be by our side to face something this dangerous," said Fluttershy.

"Well, you're not," said Shining Armor.

"But we're not asking your permission either," Princess Cadance inserted. "We are going to help you beat King Sombra for good!"

"Cadance, you can't!" Twilight Sparkle insisted. "One of the main reasons we came here was to get you two safe."

"Well, at this point, the best way to make us safe and the whole world safe is all of us combining our powers and sending King Sombra back to the depths of Tartarus," Shining Armor insisted.

"But-"

"Twilight, please!" Shining Armor interrupted. "We wanna help you see to it that this nightmare ends."

"We don't want to just stay on the sidelines while we cry and hide," said Princess Cadance. "Plus, while you six may hold the Elements of Harmony, it was through Shining Armor and I that a whole army of changelings were driven out of Canterlot and Equestria altogether."

"She does make a pretty good point," Applejack said as she turned to Twilight.

"Yeah, there whole lovey dovey thing did seem like it was pretty powerful," said Pinkie Pie.

"Oh, it wasn't just our love," Cadance corrected.

"It wasn't?" the Mane Six all asked together.

"No, it wasn't just our love for each other like I originally thought," said Cadance. "In addition to the love we felt for each other, our spell was also powered by the love you all felt for us, and that we felt for you, and you felt for each other."

"Love, much like friendship, is a very powerful thing," said Shining Armor. "I guess you could also make the argument that love is one of the keys that helps power the magic of friendship."

"I guess you could consider it an unofficial Element of Harmony," said Cadance. "My cutie mark is a representation of love, so I've always had a strong connection with it. We will have the combined power of our love for each other powering Shining Armor's and my spells once more. Plus we will have our love for Equestria powering us as well. With that power combined with the Elements of Harmony plus Godzilla's, I know we can stand up against Sombra's dark magic."

Cadance and Shining Armor turned their attention directly at Twilight Sparkle.

"We want to go into battle with you, Twily," said Shining Armor. "Given this new information, will you let us go with your blessing?"

"Please, Twilight, we want to help," Cadance insisted.

Everypony else turned to Twilight Sparkle to see how she would react. The violet alicorn looked away thoughtfully for only a moment before turning back to her brother and her sister-in-law with an emotional smile on her face.

"The best way to handle this situations is with unity," said Twilight Sparkle. "And that's just how we're gonna do this, all of us. We'll stand united and take down Sombra together!"

The rest of the Mane Six cheered as Twilight and her relatives embraced each other. The mares quickly joined in the group hug before it broke up seconds later.

"Thanks, Twilight," Shining Armor and Cadance said at the same time.

"No... thanks to the two of you."

"Aw, mushy stuff," Pinkie Pie said happily.

"Yeah, like we haven't had enough of that this story."

"Don't be trying to steal my gig, Rainbow Dash," Pinkie Pie said as she flashed her pegasus friend a warning expression.

"Okay, are there any last things to go over before we head off to face Sombra?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Well, shouldn't we maybe try to warn Godzilla about the second kaiju hiding and waiting to pounce out and attack him?"

"I get your concern, Fluttershy," said Twilight Sparkle. "But Godzilla's a smart creature and he was there when we learned there were two. I'm sure he'll be on the lookout for Megaguirus wherever she may be. Plus it's too dangerous to go right into a kaiju battle, even when it's about to begin and we don't have the time. We have to get to Sombra before he has a chance to get away."

"What about the ponies in the city? Shouldn't we try to see that they get to shelter first?"

"I know how you feel, Applejack, but like I said, we don't have the time," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Besides, that, there are still defense ponies in the city doing that for us," Cadance said as she pointed.

Everypony looked to see that uniformed ponies were indeed putting refugees in the back of wagons and taking them to safety. It made them all feel good to know there were other ponies looking out for the well being of the public.

"Alright, now since we're past all that, get ready, everypony, we're going after Sombra," Twilight Sparkle said intensely.

"But how do we find him?" Applejack asked. "This city's huge!"

"Alicorn's magic detection spell, remember?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Oh, yeah," said Applejack.

"Alright, ponies, let's power up!" Twilight Sparkle practically barked.

"RIGHT!" everypony else said.

The Mane Six's Elements all began glowing once more and went into the routine of surrounding everyone in an orb of light, which then took off into the air. Twilight's spell tracking Sombra's dark magic led the orb right to his location. Though his own detection spell told him of their approach, he only needed his eyes to figure that out. Those wicked, evilly glowing and glaring eyes saw the orb coming towards the top of the skyscraper he stood upon from yards away.

King Sombra was growling furiously, for this was exactly what he didn't want to have happen. He did not want to have the Mane Six and Godzilla show up to face him and his kaiju potentially ruining his plans. Now that it looked like that was exactly what was about to happen, he planned to throw nearly his full power at his foes. Though he was still angry as could be, King Sombra managed to put an evil grin on his face as the orb landed in front of him. He wanted to keep up appearances as best as he could.

As soon as the orb landed on the skyscraper's rooftop, it disappeared revealing the ponies all glaring at King Sombra in anger and determination.

"Well, well, look at what we have here," said King Sombra. "You know, my little ponies, for being the great protectors of Equestria, you seem pretty bad at it. I mean, I came here to kill two ponies specifically above all others and here you are bringing them right to me? Bad form, little ones."

"You're wrong, Sombra," Twilight Sparkle said defiantly. "We didn't bring you any victims! The only ponies we brought along are the ponies that are gonna help us defeat you... just like we all have before."

A cocky smile crossed Twilight Sparkle's face upon her finishing her sentence. Seeing this, King Sombra was unable to keep a furious scowl from crossing his face once more. He growled for a few seconds before he managed to take a deep breath and get himself level headed once more.

"My dear princess, you do amaze me," said King Sombra. "What's especially amazing is that you do not realize the danger you've put yourself and your friends in by stepping up against a power such as-"

As Sombra spoke on, he began to pace slightly from side to side. Twilight Sparkle took advantage of this by activating her horn's magic. A small spot on the roof began to glow the same color of Twilight's horn. As soon as one of Sombra's hooves touched that spot, it slipped causing the dark lord to stumble a little.

"Whoa!" King Sombra screamed out as he tried to regain his footing.

At the same time everypony was laughing and giggling in amusement at seeing such an evil looking pony struggle to stay on his hooves after slipping. The stallion scowled in anger at the opposing ponies as he growled in furry.

"You little brat!" the black unicorn shouted in agitation.

"I'm the T to the wilight and ain't no other pony troll it down like me," Twilight Sparkle rapped with a big grin on her face.

"SHE'S TWILIGHTLICIOUS!" the violet alicorn's companions finished up together.

King Sombra's growls intensified in volume and in anger. He let out a deep breath as he tried to calm himself and tried to put a smile back on his face. He only partially succeeded in both departments.

"Your arrogance blinds you all to the danger that has befallen you," King Sombra said with a light cackle. "Allow me to lift the veil and show you!"

The dark tyrant used his magic to pull off his royal cloak. This revealed a secret lying beneath the cape so shocking it caused everypony to let out the loudest gasps they had let out yet. King Sombra unfolded his wings and spread them out for all to see as he grinned as evilly as he could. It was still several seconds before anypony else could say anything at all.

"You're... an alicorn?!" Twilight Sparkle blurted out.

"Yes I am!" King Sombra screamed. "Surprised?!"

Twilight Sparkle seemed like she was about to unload with several hundred things to say all at once at a fast pace. But instead...

"Actually that explains an awful lot," Twilight Sparkle said in a straight voice. "Like how you can have enough power to control a kaiju."

"Your father was one of the original alicorns after all," said Pinkie Pie.

"I hid these wings for most of my life!" King Sombra said with a dark glare. "I was ashamed of my heritage! I hated my father and where my whole lineage came from!" A sadistic smile crossed his face before he continued on. "But I decided now was the best time to reveal it to you specifically just so you could know what you're really up against. Now prepare to experience the full power of my dark alicorn magic!"

King Sombra said no more as he released several lightning bolts from his horns which shot around all over the place. All of the Mane Six and the royal couple were hit with multiple bolts, causing sparks to fly from each pony as they fell back and screamed in pain. Despite all that, everypony were able to get back to their hooves. Some were quick to get back up while the majority were only able to slowly rise.

"Oh, hay burgers!" Applejack said in desperation and fear. "What in tarnation have we gotten ourselves into?!"

King Sombra let out a light chuckle as he began to step forth towards his opponents who all stepped back. Suddenly a single line of light enveloped around the dark tyrant's horn and extended out nearly a foot longer.

"I have been waiting a long time for this moment where I would unload on all of you petty ingrates," King Sombra said snidely. His grin was soon replaced by another scowl. "Now prepare yourselves for the afterlife, my little ponies!"

Lights of burning magic enveloped and expanded around Twilight, Shining Armor, and Cadance's horns to match Sombra's. Then everypony charged forth.

"No matter how powerful you are or you think you are, we will defeat you, Sombra!" Twilight Sparkle shouted out.

From there the fight was on! At that moment everypony surrounded King Sombra. All, that was, except Fluttershy who couldn't help but hang back. This just wasn't the type of environment in which she felt she could do anything helpful. Sombra's horn clashed with the horns of his foes that were lit up like his was. At the same time as he was swinging his horn around, Sombra also spun, twisted, and twirled around to strike at all his opponents.

At the same time, he tried to block as many of their attacks as he could. The same went pretty much for everypony all around the dark lord. They were throwing all kinds of punches, kicks, bucks, swings of their horns, and so on that they could against their foe while also trying to block his own attacks. Horns clashed occasionally meeting their mark, hooves hit into flesh and each other, hard blows and bucks of all kinds were delivered, though not all connected.

The variety of fighting techniques used included straight forward knock-down, drag-out bar room brawling to basic and more advanced mixed martial arts. Those who could use magic decided against firing beams or the like due to the close proximity of so many ponies and stuck to swinging their energy covered horns like swords. Whenever a strike came from a horn, it would cause sparks to fly from the pony it hit, causing them extra pain. Nopony remembered how long that first exchange lasted; none were exactly keeping time, just fighting for their lives.

As powerful as King Sombra was, and he was incredibly powerful mind you, he couldn't block or dish out nearly as many attacks as he was receiving. All the variety of kicks, punches, and horn slashes that he couldn't block were beginning to add up and take their toll on him. If the fight continued like this, he wouldn't last much longer. Blows to the face, legs, and body were making him feel like he was back in Tartarus they were so many and hurt so bad. Each time Sombra took an especially hard hit, he had to fight with all his might to keep from falling down. On the other hoof whenever he knocked one foe down, there was still several more there to beat on him allowing the fallen pony to get back up and re-join the fight.

King Sombra was getting bested and he knew it, though he hated to admit it, even to himself. He needed a way out and he needed it badly. Knowing this, the dark tyrant made a desperation move and put as much of his magic as he could spare into an energy pulse. The force of magical power was so strong that it sent all of Sombra's opponents flying back and skidding across the stone rooftop.

King Sombra breathed heavily, soaking up each second of freedom he had to rest and recover. It wasn't long since Pinkie Pie was already kicking up her back legs. The momentum brought her body off the ground and putting her back on all four hooves. The eccentric pink pony ran at Sombra in an attempt to hit him hard. However, Sombra caught her coming in and use his levitation magic to grab Pinkie and swing her around one time before throwing her into Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash.

King Sombra turned to his left and saw Shining Armor running at him. The white furred stallion shot several magic blasts at the dark tyrant, who blocked everyone with a magic shield. When he was about halfway from reaching Sombra, Shining Armor flipped into the air, his horn shining as bright as ever. The crystal prince was falling towards Sombra, who used his own horn to block his opponent's incoming attack.

After Shining Armor landed and his horn crashed into Sombra's, the young prince began swinging his horn at all angles to try and hit his evil foe. The dark lord was able to block every single swing Shining Armor threw at him. He just moved his horn in time with Shining's so it would block him every time. King Sombra ended the stand off when he transformed into his shadow form and slipped under and past Shining Armor.

Sombra, still in his shadow form, flew up above Shining Armor before turning back into an alicorn and firing down several bolts of lightning upon the white stallion. Shining Armor cried out in agony as he felt the electrical current of every bolt flow through his body. One pony that was still standing and saw the scenario play out before her eyes was Fluttershy. Watching all her friends get blasted at and hurt had installed a high amount of fear that she only felt a few times in her fear filled life.

However, seeing it also made her angry beyond all compare. She hated seeing her friends in pain, especially when it was caused by somepony else. Now that she was seeing it happen in front of her face, Fluttershy was not going to stand for it, no matter how scared she may be and how much that fear told her to stay back and hide. With all these conflicting thoughts and emotions running through her head, Fluttershy flew up to go on the attack.

She flew gently as she came up behind Sombra so as not to attract his attention. Fluttershy flew up and up and up until she was high above King Sombra. Then without thinking, she took a big gulp before letting herself fall down and crash into King Sombra. The two screamed out as they fell down onto the skyscraper's roof and rolled across it.

Fluttershy moaned as she tried to push herself back up onto her hooves. She stopped and let out a squeak as a shadow fell over her. She turned and screamed when she saw it was King Sombra, horn still glowing and everything.

"Are you crazy?!" the dark lord asked the cowering Fluttershy. "How could you-?!"

"BANZAI!" Rainbow Dash and Applejack shouted together as they flew and ran up to Sombra's side.

Applejack started sliding on her back while Rainbow Dash kept flying; both mares' back hooves were pointed in Sombra's direction. Before he could do anything, Applejack's hooves kicked Sombra's legs out from under him, while Rainbow Dash's back hooves sent him flying away. The two tomboyish mares got to their hooves and went over to help Fluttershy get back on hers. All three ponies greeted each other with warm smiles.

They were cut off when they heard the furious growls of King Sombra. They turned and saw the dark lord snarling at them. He fired bolts of magic at all three mares. Each bolt hitting their mark and sending all three mares flying back and screaming in pain.

Upon hearing the sound of hoof steps coming his way, Sombra turned to see the princesses Cadance and Twilight Sparkle running at him. He also saw that their horns were glowing bright as ever, which prompted him to do the same with his horn. Once the two alicorn mares were close enough, they both swung their horns at King Sombra, who blocked their strikes with his own horn. This started a series of back and forth where Twilight and Cadance would each take a swing of their horn at Sombra, who would block them each time with his own.

Occasionally when King Sombra was feeling lucky enough, he would try to take a swipe at one of the mares with his own horn. Doing so meant he had to make up for lost time and move faster to block an attack from one of his opponents. Twilight Sparkle ducked down and spun around to try and hit Sombra from below while Cadance spun around and tried to hit him from the top. The dark lord jumped up and back to avoid both attacks and then side twirled through the air away from his attackers.

The good alicorns ran up to their evil counterpart and fired several shots at him as they did so. Sombra put up a magic shield which blocked all attacks aimed at him before he fired off several of his own. They all missed, even though the mares were getting closer. When they were only a few feet from him, Twilight Sparkle and Cadance stopped before either of them could run into Sombra.

Both sides looked at each other with glaring hatred, the likes of which could be felt by everypony on that rooftop. The stare down ended when Twilight Sparkle faked a charge at King Sombra. This was done as a distraction while Cadance actually charged forth from the evil one's left side. King Sombra was able to block Cadance's attack, but was caught off guard when Twilight Sparkle came up on his right.

Twilight Sparkle took one mighty swing, which sent her horn slashing across her evil foe's side. Sparks ignited from the blow causing Sombra to cry out in pain. He was able to strike back, however, punching his left fore hoof across the side of Twilight's face. The violet alicorn stumbled, but did not fall, so she was able to continue fighting. She didn't get the chance, though, for Sombra turned into his shadow form and flew back away from the princesses.

When King Sombra re-materialized, he went right to work at firing upon both mares. Cadance put up a shield while Twilight Sparkle teleported. When she reappeared, the violet pony was right next to Sombra. She quickly swung her horn down across Sombra's side, once again igniting a flash of sparks that erupted from the hit area on the dark one's body.

The poor pony paid the price when King Sombra quickly turned and struck Twilight Sparkle with three slashes of his horn. Twilight Sparkle screamed out in agony as she flew back and sparks erupted all over her.

"TWILIGHT!" several of the ponies cried out.

Cadance gritted her teeth as she shot a continuous beam of energy at Sombra, who countered with a beam of his own. The two beams collided, but did not explode, leaving both alicorns to keep firing and put more power into their blasts in hopes of breaking the others' beam. This distracted Sombra, so he did not see a side karate kick from Rarity coming from his left. The white unicorn's back hoof hit Sombra square in the jaw, knocking his head back and interrupting his beam blasting.

This allowed Cadance's beam to hit Sombra and sent him stumbling back where Shining Armor was waiting for him. The unicorn stallion grabbed the tyrant from around the waste and hoisted him back for a German suplex. As King Sombra groaned while laying on the ground, Cadance, Rarity, and Shining Armor all ran up to Twilight Sparkle. They each helped get her back on her hooves, which she had been struggling to do before.

"Are you alright, Twily?" Shining Armor asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Twilight glared over at Sombra, who was also struggling to get back up. "But let's not worry about me and worry about taking this turkey down!"

"I couldn't agree more, darling," said Rarity.

All four good magic wielders stared at Sombra intensely, who stared back at them in wide eyed horror. Before he could do anything, Twilight, Shining Armor, Cadance, and Rarity all fired beams of their attack magic at King Sombra. The beams hit home and forced King Sombra to go flying back in a flash of exploding sparks as he screamed in pain. As King Sombra flew through the air, he spun around to see he was in for even more trouble.

Pinkie Pie was holding a gun with a boxing glove at the end. She pulled the trigger to the gun and the boxing glove shot forward, propelled on a spring. The glove hit Sombra directly in the muzzle sending him flying back the way he came. He was finally knocked to the ground when Applejack bucked both her back hooves into Sombra's body sending him sprawling to the ground.

When Sombra got back up, he was smacked across the face by a metal pole swung by Rainbow Dash, which she found laying on the ground. Fluttershy ducked down behind the stumbling Sombra, using her body to trip him and send him falling back on his flank. Sombra was slow to get back up, for he was hurt badly from the beatings he was taking. It only got worse when he got back up because Rainbow Dash was waiting to wrap her forelegs around him. She flipped him over her head in a belly-to-belly over the head suplex.

After King Sombra's back slammed across the ground he rolled away as fast as he could screaming all the way. When Sombra stopped rolling he was on his stomach moaning and groaning from the pain and agony he was feeling. He kept on like that for three or four seconds before Sombra began shakily pushing himself up off the ground. Halfway up, Sombra stumbled a little and for a moment it felt like he was gonna fall all the way back down.

That never happened, though, for Sombra was able to keep himself up and continued pushing himself all the way back up. While he was doing this the evil unicorn looked to his right and saw Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack all standing there. When King Sombra looked to his left, he saw that Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Cadance, and Shining Armor were standing there. The evil one was surrounded at both sides and was on the ropes with seemingly no way out.

In an act of pure desperation, King Sombra screamed out as he shot out several bolts of electricity and let them fly around wildly. Most of them missed, but a few actually did end up striking the ponies that surrounded King Sombra. They all screamed out as they were knocked off their hooves by the force of the electrical currents that struck them. With everypony laying on the ground in pain, King Sombra decided it was his best chance to make a break for it.

The evil alicorn spread out his wings and took off into the sky. Everypony still on the roof had gotten back up on their hooves at this point. After they all checked on each other, they looked to see King Sombra flying away as fast as he could, laughing all the way. No words were wasted; those who wielded magic just fired off beams of attack magic, all of which were aimed at Sombra.

Though he had flown a decent distance away, Sombra was unable to avoid getting hit by all four beams that were shot at him. As soon as he was hit, King Sombra let out a terrible scream as he started falling towards the ground. The dark lord was spinning around rapidly as he fell even faster down and down towards the city below. He tried several times to turn himself upright and stop his fall, but found he had trouble doing so.

He was even more alarmed when he found that he had trouble turning into his shadow form. He kept fading in and out of that form each time he tried to transform. King Sombra was nearing the ground when he finally managed to turn himself the right way around and spread out his wings once more. It only served to cushion his fall when the tyrant crashed into the top of a dumpster in an alleyway and then rolled off it into a pile of trash cans.

Despite being so far away, the ponies on the skyscraper saw where their evil adversary landed and were getting ready to go after him. All of a sudden, not one, but two very loud roars caught their ears and grabbed their attention.
