Canterlot, the capitol city of Equestria, built into the side of a mountain. While there were many great cities built across the land of ponies, none could quite match up to the majestic beauty of the nation's capitol. Huge, beautiful buildings were built higher than most eyes could see from the ground. Even the smaller buildings like shops and houses were giants in comparison to those found in other cities. Yes it was easy to see between the buildings and the ponies walking the street that inhabit them that Canterlot was the wealthiest and most beautiful city in all of Equestria.

But even as amazing a sight as it was, even here the disturbing feeling in the air that spread through Equestria was felt. Not nearly as bad as across the rest of the country, but still, Canterlot didn't seem to have as bright of a spark as it usually did. It was obvious to Twilight Sparkle who had just arrived on the royal carriage of Princess Celestia along with the Sun Princess herself and Twilight's dragon assistant, Spike. The purple alicorn looked to see that Spike and Princess Celestia could feel the uncertainty just as much as she did.

Twilight Sparkle looked around at the citizens of Canterlot. She didn't get good looks at them, but from what she could tell, they were feeling the evil as well. Now that the carriage holding the royal entourage had arrived in Canterlot, it didn't take long for it to reach the absolute biggest building in Canterlot. The crown jewel, Canterlot Castle, home of the Royal Sisters. Once the carriage landed in the castle's courtyard, its passengers departed and made their way into the castle's interior.

No one had said anything to each other since take off, for they all felt the weight of the situation at hand and it seemed to be taking its toll on them. But now that they were trotting through the halls of Canterlot Castle, it seems their psyches had been given some relaxation. Yes for some reason, possibly walking the halls of a place that seemed both familiar and safe, the trio of Princess Celestia, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and Spike all seem to be a bit more at ease. Celestia and Twilight Sparkle even found it within themselves to flash each other small smiles to try and reassure each other.

But even then, the motherly ruler of Equestria sensed that her former pupil, now royal equal, needed further reassurance; vocally this time. So she decided to break the uncomfortable silence that had gone on since they left Ponyville.

"Don't be so glum, my dear Twilight Sparkle. I know that your participation in this meeting will assure that Equestria will once again be safe and the threat to it will be completely nullified. You've never let me or anypony else down before."

Twilight did a quick examination of Celestia's features and like always, she saw no ounce of falsehood in anything the princess said.

"Thank you for your faith in me, Princess Celestia," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Well, why not? Like she said, you've always come through when it counted the most. I mean, hey, I learned a long time ago that when Twilight Sparkle is involved that everything's gonna be alright. You got this. I believe in you, Twilight," said Spike.

Twilight Sparkle was touched by her assistant's kind words.

"Thank you, Spike. Thanks to both of you. Your words are so kind and meaningful to me. Because you believe in what you say, so will I. All the things you have said now fuel me to bring a solution to this meeting," said Twilight Sparkle.

But even as she looked onward with a brave and determined smile on her face, behind all that Twilight couldn't help but still feel a little uncertain. Despite all that both Spike and Princess Celestia have said to her, she knew that she had let ponies down in the past and it was still possible to do so again. Whether it was her usual paranoia when going into big situations or the fact that this particular situation involved giant monsters rampaging across Equestria or a mixture of the two, Twilight Sparkle couldn't let herself be completely confident going into this meeting.

But her nerves were calmed even further when she entered the meeting room to find two very familiar ponies waiting inside.

"Hi Twilight!" said Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor at the same time in excited tones with welcoming smiles on their faces.

Twilight Sparkle's face lit up bright as can be when she saw her brother and her sister-in-law sitting across the conference table in the meeting room.

"Shining Armor! Cadence!" Twilight Sparkle called out excitedly.

Princess Celestia watched with a smile on her face as Twilight ran around to the other side of the room to see her relatives. They met her with open forelegs that she ran into for a group hug. It was the best feeling Twilight Sparkle had for most of the day.

"It's good to see you again, Little Sis.," said Shining Armor.

" 'Good'? It's great to see you again, Twilight. I've been hoping to see you again for quite a while," said Princess Cadence.

"Thank you both. It does my heart good to see the both of you again after so long," said Twilight Sparkle.

But then her expression fell into a frown.

"...I only wish it hadn't taken such a disaster to bring us together again," said Twilight Sparkle.

It was her brother and sister-in-law's turn to frown at the current situation.

"I know, it's horrible what has be fallen Equestria," said Shining Armor.

"I admit I was afraid of what havoc King Sombra would've wrecked on the Crystal Empire alone. But giant monsters rampaging across the country is a million times worse. I can't begin to imagine how bad it could get. What if they were to come to Canterlot? ...Or strike Ponyville again? ..."

Princess Cadence let out a gasp of horror before continuing.

"...Or what if they came to the Crystal Empire?!"

Shining Armor put a supportive hoof around his wife and tried to comfort her. But it was easy to see she was still horror stricken at the possibilities she brought up. Twilight Sparkle's expression turned into one of determination as she stood up tall and stern.

"We wont let any of that happen, Cadence. I promise you as a princess of Equestria, as your friend, and as your sister-in-law, this meeting will be the first step in making things better."

Princess Cadence looked to the princess she foalsat as a filly and saw that while the rest of her body language and facial expression were stern and serious, her eyes conveyed compassion, support, and love, all of which Cadence needed right now. The pink alicorn princess wiped away her tears and forced a smile back on her face.

"Thank you, Twilight Sparkle. ...Thank you for reminding me that when you're working with the rest of us, anything is possible."

Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, and Cadence embraced each other for a second group hug, feeling the need to support each other as best as they could. After the three ponies released their embrace, Twilight Sparkle offered Cadence a questioning look. The pink alicorn was able to tell right away what Twilight was thinking, and that she was asking whether or not they should. Cadence then offered an expression to reply to Twilight Sparkle's, indicating that they should.

So then without hesitation, the two sister-in-laws went into their song and dance routine.

"Sunshine, sunshine, lady bugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake."

The two alicorns then shared an amused giggle with each other, which Shining Armor soon joined in on.

"Oh, Twilight, you make even the rainiest days brighten up as much as the sun. Maybe even brighter," said Princess Cadence.

"Hey, what about me?" asked Spike as he came up behind Twilight Sparkle.

"And of course you as well, Spike, oh noblest of all dragons," said Princess Cadence.

"Hello, Spike, nice to see you again. How have you been?" said Shining Armor.

"Oh well, you know," said Spike.

Princess Celestia cleared her throat to get the other ponies' attention.

"Honorable delicates, I suggest we take our seats now and await Princess Luna to join us so we can get this urgent meeting underway," said Princess Celestia.

The other ponies nodded their heads in agreement and then walked up to their seats. Shining Armor and Cadence took their seats next to each other on one side of the table, while Twilight Sparkle took a seat at the other side with Spike standing by her side, and then Celestia took a seat on the end of the table. This left them all to wait for the Princess of the Night; a wait that was not a long one.

Less than forty seconds after the royals all took their seats, the beauty of the moon, Princess Luna made her entrance into the meeting room.

"Forgive my tardiness, everypony. I was dealing with a report from the frozen north," said Princess Luna.

"What did this report pertain to, my sister?" asked Princess Celestia.

"Well it would seem another monster has appeared, this one in the north. It came up onto the glaciers near a minotaur fishing village. The information we got from the village...said that it looked somewhat like a giant ogre," Princess Luna reported.

"An ogre?" asked Shining Armor as he tilted his head to the side.

"It was most likely Gabara," said Twilight Sparkle.

All gazes turned to the purple alicorn princess.

"Gabara is described in the papers I found as being an ogre and the few pictures I found in the archives depict him as such," Twilight Sparkle explained.

"Did I...miss something?"

"Twilight Sparkle has gathered a great deal of information on these monsters popping up across Equestria from an archaeological dig she was in charge of several months ago," said Princess Celestia.

"I see. I am sure the information she provides will be most useful."

"As do I, Luna. As do I," said Princess Celestia.

Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor voiced their agreement while nodding their heads to reinforce it. Princess Luna then took her seat next to Twilight Sparkle. The two alicorns gave each other welcoming smiles as they both nodded their heads in respectful bows.

"My fellow royals, first of all let me say thank you to all of you for coming to this urgent meeting. I know that with your appearances here we have a better chance of reaching the goals of this meeting. Now onto the subject of said meeting: monsters are appearing all over Equestria. It started with a giant, dragon-like monster appearing on the west coast and causing chaos with its mere appearance alone. But then after it left the beach, the monster seemed to just...disappear."

The other ponies eyes opened wide in shock.

"What?" asked Shining Armor.

"I know it sounds impossible to lose something that size, but that's what the reports say," said Princess Celestia.

This left the other meeting members to ponder how a four hundred foot monster can just vanish. There's nothing in the records about Geon being able to camouflage himself or disappear or anything of that sort, Twilight Sparkle thought to herself.

"I would be lying if I said this didn't concern me. If one of these monsters could disappear into thin air, then it leads to the question, 'can they all?'," said Princess Celestia.

"However, while this first monster disappeared, the problem did not. A second monster, a giant bat, flew out from the confines of a black cloud that came from the west coast where the first monster also came from. That cloud flew over the small city of Ponyville, which the bat took upon itself to destroy. Luckily Rainbow Dash led it away. But now with this news Luna has just brought to us, we now know a third monster has appeared in the artic, coming again from the west. Now as long as my sister and I have been in power and even the thousand years Luna was gone, Equestria has never faced a threat like this. We've had to deal with villains of conquest and chaos, true. But the threat these giant monsters pose may be even greater than all past threats combined. We've seen what happens when one of these beasts enters a heavily populated area. Now just imagine if two or more of them showed up in a city."

It was easy to tell that those around the table were horrified at the implications Princess Celestia's words had, even the Princess of Daylight herself.

"I too share your concern, my friends. But this meeting was not called to dwell on the disaster that these monsters' presence brings to our country, but to come up with a plan to save it. To help with this, I now hand the floor over to Princess Twilight Sparkle to share with us her information on these monsters and possibly developing a plan to deal with them with the information she gives us," said Princess Celestia.

All gazes shifted to Twilight Sparkle as she looked to her trusted assistant.

"Spike, the papers, please."

Spike opened up the pack he had been lugging with him all this time. Then he pulled out several scrolls and books and handed them to Twilight. Then she placed them on the table with her levitating magic. She held one of the archive pieces in front of her and read to make sure her information was right, then she spoke.

"Like Princess Celestia stated, there are several giant monsters showing up in Equestria, the likes of which haven't been seen during hers and Luna's whole reign. ...But that doesn't mean they weren't seen in Equestria before."

Everypony looked on, their curiosity peaked to their highest point.

"Now according to these records I found in an old temple that was dug up out in the San Palomino Desert, these giant monsters, kaiju as they are referred to in these archives, had appeared during a period of time after the founding of Equestria, but before the Royal Sisters' rulership, and even before Discord's. It was during the last days that Equestria was governed by...the Alicorn Council."

Everypony gasped at Twilight Sparkle's revelation.

"Yes, everypony, it's true. As we all know, the Alicorn Council was made up of seven all powerful alicorns from different regions of Equestria. They were so mighty together that nopony dared to challenge their rule. But nopony felt the need to since they ruled so peacefully. But that peaceful rule was to be challenged, not by anypony, or any other inhabitants of this world."

The meeting recipients looked at each other questioningly.

"Princess Twilight, up to this point, the circumstances surrounding the Council's fall had been completely lost to history. Are you saying that you're about to reveal those events to us right now?" said Princess Cadence.

"That's exactly what I'm, saying. One day, these...flying machines of some kind... Weird flying saucers or something appeared in Equestria and began to attack. At first, our forces were overwhelmed, but the Alicorn Council took it upon themselves to fight back these alien forces and drive them out of our land. And it worked...at first," said Twilight Sparkle.

"One day, the invading fliers came back...but they weren't alone. They had brought with them several powerful monsters, the likes of which were so big and so mighty, not even the ancient alicorns could stop them. Though they tried. Oh Valhalla knows they tried. "

"Then what happened, Twilight?" asked Shining Armor.

"Well...help came in the most unexpected of forms."

"Which was?" Princess Lune inquired.

"A good kaiju," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Huh?" said everypony around the purple pony.

"Wait, one of these...monsters was actually...good?" asked Spike.

"Yes, but it wasn't just the good kaiju. It brought along...little friends of some sort. I think they were called...the Cosmos. ...And the good kaiju was called...Mothra," said Twilight Sparkle.

She then took the time to use her levitating spell to pass along a picture from her records that showed the beautiful, yet mighty giant moth. One of its most striking features was its multi-colored wings. That's where most of its beauty came from.

"Impressive looking creature, however I admit to having doubt it could take on creatures the likes of those we've seen by itself and win," said Princess Celestia.

"Well that's the thing. ...It didn't," replied Twilight Sparkle.

"Huh?" said everypony.

"It was a powerful beast to be sure, but it wasn't enough to stop the evil kaiju on her own. She handled the flying saucers fine, but when it came time to fight the kaiju...she needed some help," said Twilight Sparkle.

"What did she do?" asked Prince Shining Armor.

"Well, while she fought off the kaiju as best she could, her little companions, the Cosmos, worked with what was left of the Alicorn Council and two of their magic advisors to construct a magic prison that would trap these horrible beasts and keep them locked up forever," said Twilight Sparkle.

"And they managed to trap these...kaiju inside this prison?" asked Princess Celestia.

"Yes, with Mothra's help, the good forces managed to trick the kaiju into the prison, and then placed a magic seal on top of the prison that would keep the monsters from escaping. The seal and to an extension, the prison were charged with magic energies from both the Equestrians and the Cosmos, making a mixture of Equestrian and other world magic. The mixture was so effective that it was assumed that the magic field would be self sustaining and be able to keep the kaiju trapped forever," said Twilight Sparkle.

"But we've seen that the kaiju have escaped. So how is that the prison failed?" inquired Princess Luna.

"Well...one of the magic advisors had a vision of the future that one day an evil pony will absorb the magic from the seal and allow the kaiju to escape for his or her own personal gains," said Twilight Sparkle.

"How could one benefit from giant monsters rampaging through Equestria?" asked Prince Shining Armor.

"Well if that particular pony was powerful enough to release them, perhaps he or she would be powerful enough to control them," Princess Cadence suggested.

"Well...Geon didn't show those signs when I saw him emerge at the beach. Yet Screech's attack seemed a lot more precise. So I believe it is possible," said Twilight Sparkle.

"You mentioned the names Geon, Screech, and Gabara. Am I correct in assuming that your information has given you the names of these monsters we're up against?"

"Yes, Princess Luna, I have the names here and some pictures I'll pass along as I read them off," said Twilight Sparkle.

She then looked through the scrolls and found some with the pictures she wanted to pass around. She then looked through the book in front of her.

"These are the names giving to the kaiju by the visiting Cosmos," said Twilight Sparkle.

She levitated the pictures out to her fellow rulers and proceeded to read off the names.

"You all know of Geon, the dragon-like kaiju, he was the first of these creatures to appear in modern-Equestria. He was also singled out by both the Alicorn Council and the Cosmos as the leader of the kaiju forces. Also much like a dragon, Geon is capable of breathing fire. But it was described as being far more powerful than mere flames. It seemed to have some sort of unexplainable extra power to it."

The royals all examined the picture of Geon for a second or two before Twilight Sparkle moved on.

"Then there's Screech, the second of the kaiju to show up in Equestria and even laid waste to most of Ponyville. A giant vampire bat that's capable of generating a supersonic screech that can tear through the hardest of materials such as rock, wood, and metal. I don't need to read this book to know that. I've seen it and its results first hoof. At two hundred feet tall, this is the second smallest kaiju of the bunch."

"Who's the first smallest?" asked Spike.

"A kaiju called Kumonga," said Twilight Sparkle as she brought up a picture of the kaiju.

But then she gasped in surprise before she looked away in fear and disgust.

"What is wrong, Twilight Sparkle?" asked Princes Celestia.

"It's... It's this next kaiju."

"What's wrong with it?" asked Shining Armor.

"It's... It's a giant spider," Twilight Sparkle explained.

She then passed the pictures around for all to see.

"Oh how hideous," said Princess Cadence.

"Standing only a hundred feet tall, unless it stretches its legs to push itself up, Kumonga is different from spiders as we know them in that it doesn't project its webbing from its back end. It actually projects webbing from its mouth."

The others gave the picture of Kumonga a second look with the same disgust, but also now with curiosity.

"Another anomaly is that it can actually spit web that isn't natural to spiders."

"What do you mean, Twilight?" asked Shining Armor.

"Well it shoots three different kinds of webbing. You have the traditional white silk. Then there's yellow webbing that can sprout full webs from the end that act like nets to catch prey. Then finally there's its green webbing which is mixed with burning acid.

" 'Webbing mixed with acid? How does it managed that?" asked Spike.

"Well, we know how the normal webbing works and I think the yellow webbing works in a similar way. But when it comes time to shoot acid, the silk from the webbing is somehow mixed with the natural digestive acids found in the stomach," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Ew, gross," said Spike.

Twilight Sparkle passed more pictures around before proceeding to speak.

"The most recent kaiju to reveal himself is the ogre-like Gabara. This green skinned beast can emit electricity from the horn on its head through the rest of its body which is its signature weapon. It can also spit globs of acid out of its mouth. He's about teen feet taller than Geon, but not nearly as powerful."

She passed out yet another picture and then spoke on.

"Then we have the Behemoth, another dragon-like kaiju. This one walks on four feet and has a longer neck than Geon. Its most powerful attack is to release an explosion of some kind of strange fire from its body that instantly vaporizes everything around it."

Again pictures were passed out.

"Now here we have a rather odd kaiju named Megalon. Looks very much like a beetle, except he only has two legs and stands up straight like Geon and Gabara. As you can see he also has drills in place of his forearms and hands indicating he is a burrower. He was also known to shoot an electric beam from his horn and spit explosive orbs from his mandibles."

Twilight Sparkle continued the pattern of handing out pictures of the next kaiju on the list before speaking on said kaiju.

"Flameala is a dragon/phoenix hybrid. She is the same size as Geon and Megalon and seems to be able to either engulf its body in flames or is able to actually turn its body into fire, as well as breath fire like a dragon."

More pictures were passed around and Twilight Sparklr once again spoke.

"This next kaiju is a giant sea serpent called Manda. Apart from being constrictive like a giant anaconda, it also fires a projectile from its mouth called the hyper beam. Its body is about five hundred feet long."

As the list of kaiju began to stack up more and more, the worried reactions of the royals were easy to see. Still they held back their feelings as best as they could as Twilight Sparkle passed out more pictures.

"This next one is called Black Claw. It looks like a giant wildcat, except that its outer body is made completely of organic armor. Other than that and the usual weapons of a wildcat, this kaiju doesn't have any special powers like the others."

"A little bit of an advantage I suppose," said Princess Luna.

"I'm not so sure. Never underestimate the resource of good armor," said Shining Armor.

Next, Twilight Sparkle passed out more pictures for her fellow meeting goers to look at.

"Next we have Megaguirus who I guess is suppose to be some sort of dragonfly. But if that's the case, she's the most viscous looking dragonfly I've ever seen in my life. As far as I know, she has no powers."

Twilight Sparkle passed out more pictures and went through the routine of telling the details of the pictured kaiju.

"This is the last kaiju, who's name is Centipor. Most likely because, as you can see, it's a giant green centipede. Like the last two, it doesn't have any powers. But those enormous pinchers on its front legs and its tough mandibles more than make up for that. Well, that's it, that's all the kaiju we'll be up against."

There was a moment of quiet reflection from the ponies in the room on just how big of a challenge they were up against in taking on so many kaiju.

"Eleven monsters," said Prince Shining Armor in reflection.

"Eleven giant monsters," added Princess Cadence.

"Eleven giant monsters that easily overpower even us. At this point, I'm not even sure if the Elements of Harmony can stop them," said Princess Luna.

"And the Alicorn Council only had one good kaiju on their side? ...It must've been a very powerful creature indeed to go head to head with eleven of these giants," said Princess Celestia.

"Oh yes, Mothra was very powerful indeed. Look at this," said Twilight Sparkle as she used her magic to hand Celestia a book.

Then Twilight opened it to a page with an illustration depicting the good hearted kaiju, Mothra releasing multiple waves of gold glowing energy that forced back four of the evil kaiju.

"Wow...impressive. We could use power like that now. But I'm afraid Luna is right, even with the Elements of Harmony, I don't know if we could stop them," said Princess Celestia.

"It's especially bad since now the flow of magic in Equestria seems to have become uneven, unfortunately in favor of the dark side," said Princess Cadence.

"Speaking of this shift, Twilight Sparkle, you said that the re-emergence of the kaiju are connected to the magic shift. And that you have evidence to back up this theory," said Princess Celestia.

"Yes, I do." Twilight Sparkle used her levitation spell to pass a scroll to Princess Celestia.

"You'll read in that scroll that the only way to release the kaiju from their prison is to absorb the magic within the seal on top of it. If somepony were to do that, the magic would be added to their own power supplies and make their magic stronger. Now it goes without saying that anypony that would be willing to release evil beasts such as the kaiju must be equally evil. So it would make sense that we would feel the levels of dark magic rise in Equestria. I trust everyone felt it when it happened?"

The other three princesses and the one prince nodded their heads in reply.

"But...who would be so evil to want to release the monsters from their prison?" asked Prince Shining Armor.

"Who alive would even know where it is?" asked Princess Luna.

"I don't even know where it is. It doesn't say in any of these archives. That's one of the pieces of information missing, along with the identity of the magic advisors who helped build the prison and lock the kaiju inside," said Twilight Sparkle.

The royal ponies sat in silence as they all pondered what the answer could be. It would end up being Princess Celestia who broke the silence.

"Well there is one pony, if you can call him that, who could be old enough and evil enough to both know where the prison is and want to release the kaiju for evil doing."

"You mean...?"

"Yes, Luna, a certain former king of Equestria."

Everypony's expression turned to complete, seriousness. Without even speaking a word, they each knew what the other was thinking and how they all wanted to proceed. Each of the royals' horns began to glow with matching auras that combined to form a summoning spell. In the middle of the room, through a blinding flash of light that slowly faded, hovering a few feet above the meeting table was the deceitful, overbearing, hard to handle, uncaring, spirit of chaos, Discord...singing while eating a bowl of ice cream.

"I love Rocky Road. So wont you go buy half a gallon, baby? I love Rocky..."

Discord ceased his singing when he realized that he was in a different location than from when he started singing and eating. He eyes shifted around to spy several pairs of angry eyes staring at him, all, except one of them belonging to royalty.

"Oh...well...I guess you all found out about my little ice cream party. I would've invited you, but the invitation specifically said it was to be a party of one, in that only one was allow to come. That invitation was mailed to me by me. In other words, it was my ice cream party for me only, so back off."

"Discord, you got some 'splainnin' to do!" shouted Spike as he pointed an accusing claw at the ice cream gorging draconequus.

Discord shot an uninterested look at Spike before speaking.

"If I were that short, my tail was that stubby, and my belly stuck out that much, I wouldn't be trying to attract attention to myself, Spud."

"Spike!"

"Oh, whatever."

"Knock it off, Discord! Spike's right. You're here for something very important and it could end with you being in a lot of trouble!" said Twilight Sparkle.

"Alright, alright. Just let me finish this last bite first, please," said Discord.

He then scooped up the bowl the ice cream was in into his spoon before shoving it into his mouth and scarfing it down. Then he dropped his spoon into his mouth and ate it. He gave his stomach several light pats before he spoke on.

"So then, good evening, everypony. You're probably wondering why I called this meeting," said Discord.

Then he looked down at himself.

"Oh wait, I'm not properly dressed. This is a formal thing. Excuse me," said Discord.

Then a dressing curtain appeared in a flash of light, which Discord ran behind. Several cartoony sound effects were heard as the curtain shook around. Then Discord came out wearing a suit and tie. He looked down at himself in an unsure way.

"I don't know, this one just doesn't feel right. Give me another second."

Discord again went behind the curtain with the same sounds being made and the curtain shaking once again. And just like before, the sounds and shaking stopped. When Discord came back out, he was wearing a pajama onesie.

"There we go. Much better, as I'm sure whatever you say will bore me to sleep. So, tell me what's on your so-called minds," said Discord as he leaned back and put his hands behind his head, just floating in mid-air.

"Very well, Discord, I would like you to tell us all if you have been up to anything mischievous lately," said Princess Celestia.

"Oh no, not really. Maybe just a few harsh winds here, a wild dog in the chicken coop there. A rash of trees coming to life and tripping ponies, oh and a pony getting a severe case of smacking himself in the face while I say: 'Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself. ...Why are you still hitting yourself?' But you know, nothing major," said Discord.

He looked around at the pairs of disapproving and angry eyes staring at him.

"I fixed all those things when I was done," Discord defended.

Each royal pony let out aggravated sighs as they rolled their eyes.

"And you swear that's all you've done?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye," said Discord as he used his magic to manifest the phsycal representation of his pronise.

"Oh brother," said Spike.

"I knew that Pinkie Pie was a bad influence on me. She's the one you should be foal sitting," said Discord.

"You say you've reduced you're antics to little pranks only. So why don't I believe you?" asked Princess Luna.

"Probably because mama didn't raise no fool. ...Well...then again..." said Discord.

The Spirit of Chaos let out loud laughter, to which Luna responded with a glare. She stood up from her chair and her wings opened up.

"Luna," said Princess Celestia in her sternest voice.

The Princess of the Night looked to her older sister and saw her expression matched her voice. Princess Luna took a deep breath and then sat back down.

"So, basically what you're saying is you haven't used your magic to, oh I don't know, absorb magic from a super secret prison releasing several giant monsters that are currently rampaging through Equestria and killing several innocent ponies as they do it?!" Spike blurted out.

Discord's amused smile turned to a look of surprise. It quickly turned to shock. And then even into horror.

"The kaiju are free?" asked Discord.

"Yes, they are," replied Spike.

"You've heard of the kaiju?" asked Princess Cadence.

"Heard of them? I helped build their prison and put them there," said Discord, losing all the mischief in his voice and sounding dead serious.

Everypony gasped as their eyes widened.

"You what?" asked Princess Celestia.

"Really?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

"Cross my heart, hope to... Ah, forget it. Yes, I did," said Discord.

"How is that possible?" asked Prince Shining Armor.

"Because I was a magic advisor to the ancient Alicorn Council," said Discord.

Another gasp from those around the Spirit of Chaos.

"Now how is that possible? I mean...you're...you!" said Twilight Sparkle.

"Be that as it may, I wasn't always. Believe it or not, I was once one of you," said Discord.

Another collective gasp filled the room.

"Oh brother, will someone please take their finger off the repeat button? But yes, I used to be a unicorn," said Discord.

A small image of a gray unicorn stallion with a golden star cutie mark on his flank appeared out of a flash of light in front of Discord.

"Could this be true, Twilight? Could Discord have not only once been an ordinary unicorn pony, but one who served as an advisor to the Alicorn Council?" asked Princess Cadence.

"Not quite ordinary," Discord mumbled under his voice.

"Well...I looked through all these archives. But none of them had any information on what happened to the last two alicorns or the magic advisors, so I can't say for sure."

"Oh, I can tell you what happened to them. One of those alicorns is the warden of Tartarus now, while the other went into hiding with one of the magic advisors. I'll bet you can't guess which one that was. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't me," said Discord.

"Why did the last alicorn go into hiding?" asked Shining Armor.

"Oh, I'm afraid that the last days of the kaiju war left her very crippled both physically and in magical ability. She just didn't have it in her to go on ruling as the lone survivor of the Alicorn Council. Especially after several different ponies rose up and tried to claim leadership of Equestria for themselves, starting a power struggle war in the process," said Discord.

"And she was unable to stop it?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

Discord shook his head in reply.

"Then who did?" asked Shining Armor.

"Well...I did. Don't gasp again," said Discord.

"How'd you stop it? How did you...get the way you are?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

"What is this, twenty questions?" asked Discord.

He let out a sigh before speaking again.

"Very well. I was asked what I wanted as reward for my role in saving Equestria from the kaiju."

A flash of light enveloped Discord and when it faded, he was gone. A flash of light then enveloped Twilight Sparkle's chair, which then turned into Discord.

"I told the two alicorns that I wanted...to be immortal."

Discord slipped his serpentine body out from under Twilight Sparkle, making her fall to the floor.

"So...one of them gave it to me."

"Immortality?" asked Princess Luna.

"Well to be more specific, she gave me her immortality."

"She?" asked both royal sisters.

"Yes, my royally confuzzled ponies. Stellea was her name. My she was a beauty."

Discord stopped and his eyes opened wide as a look of alarm came on his face.

"You loved her didn't you?" asked Cadence.

"No! Yes! Maybe!"

Discord looked around at the others and it was clear they knew his true feelings.

"Well...I suppose just a little. But did she love me? No! She loved Star Swirl," said Discord.

"Star Swirl?! As in Star Swirl, the Bearded?!" asked Twilight Sparkle.

"Yes, that Star Swirl. Humph, the hack. I was always the better magic wielder, but did anyone care? No!"

"Get on with it, Discord," demanded Princess Luna.

"Very well. So I got to live forever, while Stellea and Star Swirl went off and started a life together. I even heard they had a few kids together. But I lost touch with them, so I can't confirm or deny it. So this left me with immortality and phenomenal cosmic power...but also found during the war that I had an itty, bitty living space. I realized that I wanted more for my life and realized even further that I had the power to make that happen. Also, even though there were ponies fighting for the throne of Equestria, at that time there wasn't a definitive leader. I found...that I liked that. It meant no one could tell me what to do. I was free to do things however I wanted, whenever I wanted. So...I started doing just that. I had the most fun in my entire life up to that point just doing whatever I wanted. While some might consider what I wanted to do...unconventional and the roots of anarchy and chaos, I didn't care, I was still having a blast.

Then I thought to myself: 'Wouldn't it be great if I could do this all the time?'. But then I realized the only way that would happen is if I became the ruler of Equestria. Then I thought again to myself: 'Hey, why can't I become ruler of Equestria. Why don't I just do that?'. With all the great power I had, nopony could oppose me, so I decided then that I would become king of Equestria. After that declaration, I was consumed by some cloud made up of... I suppose it was a manifestation of my dysfunctional desires. I assume this, because the cloud turned me into a true visual manifestation of chaos. In other words, what you see before you now. I assume I don't have to tell you the rest."

Everypony was silent, quietly taking in everything Discord had just told them.

"Beat all the suitors to the throne, was king of Equestria until Celestia and Luna arrived one day and kicked your flank to the curb. Yeah, we know," said Spike.

"Well that's over simplifying it a bit, but basically you're correct," said Discord.

"You were turned into a draconequus by wanting the power and freedom to do whatever you want and force your wantd on everything around you?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

"I suppose you could say that. I guess that kind of thing happens when you're an immortal who becomes selfish. Am I right, dear Luna?"

Discord nudged his elbow into the Moon Princess' side. She responded with an angry scowl as she brushed away Discord's arm. Luna stood up from her seat and turned her body towards Discord as her horn started to glow.

"Luna!" Princess Celestia shouted out with the authority of an older sibling.

Princess Luna looked back to see the stern look on her older sister's face demanding her not to get into it with Discord. When Princess Luna looked back, she saw a cocky smile had crossed Discord's face. Luna deactivated her horn, took a deep breath, and then returned to her seat.

"Now then, what exactly can we take from Discord's story that can help us here?" asked Princess Celestia.

"I'll tell you one thing you can take from it, despite ruffling your fur a little when I came in here, I'm actually here to help you. These kaiju are a menace, the likes of which even I wouldn't wish on Equestria," said Discord.

"Really?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

"Hold on just a second! We don't know if we can really trust him. For all we know, Discord could be the one who freed the kaiju from their prison," said Princess Luna.

"How dare you?! I resent that! You think I'd go through all the trouble of putting those monsters in that prison just to let them back out several thousand years later?! I am a mischief maker, not a murderer!" said Discord.

"Why should we believe you?" asked Princess Luna.

"Well for one thing, I'll help you figure out the best way to stop the kaiju. Just put them back in their prison and re-energize the seal. As long as it's still there, that shouldn't be a problem," said Discord.

Then a look of concern came over his face.

"Will you excuse me for a moment?" asked Discord.

Before anypony could answer, he teleported out of the meeting room. He was back a second later, holding his hands at the sides of his head.

"It's gone! The seal is gone!"

Everypony else gasped in horror.

"How could that be?" asked Shining Armor.

"This pony, whoever it was, knew where to find the kaiju and how to release them. It isn't a stretch to think that they'd know to take the seal so no one could lock the kaiju back up," said Princess Celestia.

"That's exactly what happened. I know, I just came from where the prison was hidden," said Discord.

"You did?" asked Cadence.

"He helped build it. Discord should know where it is. Which is why I still suspect he is the one behind all this."

"Princess Luna, I had nothing to do with this. You gotta believe me! This iss absolutely nothing like what I had in mind for Equestria when I was...more bad than I am now. I truly want to help you defeat the kaiju, but without the seal for the prison, I don't know if we can. I don't even know if the inter dimensional summoning spell could help us at this point," said Discord.

"Huh?" asked Princess Luna.

"What was that?" asked Princess Celestia.

"Come again?" said Prince Shinning Armor.

Discord looked around when he realized that almost all in the room were looking at him with confusion.

"What, didn't Twilight Sparkle tell you about the spell?" asked Discord.

"I kept meaning to. But couldn't find the right time to," Twilight Sparkle explained.

"What are you both talking about? What is this spell you both speak of?" asked Princess Luna.

"Well...the visitors that came with Mothra, the good kaiju were there when one of the magic advisors had a vision that one day the kaiju would be released by a being of evil. So...incase that happened...they left Equestria with a summoning spell that would open an inter dimensional portal that would bring a good kaiju here to Equestria to aid us," said Twilight Sparkle.

"What's that?!" asked Princess Celestia.

"A good kaiju, here to help us?" asked Princess Cadence.

"Is this true?" asked Prince Shining Armor.

Twilight Sparkle nodded her head.

"It is a tricky spell to do. But if we can pull it off, a good kaiju should arrive within a day or two to help us."

"A tricky spell? Tricky how?" asked Princess Luna.

"Well for one thing, it was giving to Equestria from magic wielders from an other dimension, and had to be transitioned from their magic to our magic. So that's one thing," said Twilight Sparkle.

"I see. That is understandable," said Princess Celestia.

"Besides that, just look at the configuration of the spell itself."

Twilight Sparkle pulled out another scroll with her levitation, opened it, and then used her magic to project the writing on the scroll over the roof of the room for all to see. What they all saw...made their jaws drop.

"Wha... What is that?" asked Princess Cadence.

"Is that a spell or an advanced college level math equation?" asked Prince Shining Armor.

"The spell...does appear more complicated than I remember. ...But it's nothing I can't handle," said Discord.

"Besides its difficult to follow configuration, there are still possibilities of side effects due to this being a foreign spell."

"Like what, Twilight?" asked Princess Cadence.

"Well...it may not work right away. The portal could take either twelve seconds or twelve days to open and bring the kaiju here. It may not even work at all if we don't do it right. Or we may open a portal somewhere else and bring something entirely different here. And it may not open where we want it to and open in another area of Equestria."

Everypony else looked on thoughtfully, pondering the ramifications, both good and bad, that this spell seemed to come with.

"But it will most likely bring that Mothra beast here, right?" asked Princess Luna.

"Probably, it says the spell will bring to us the most pure heart kaiju of them all. Which I guess could most likely be Mothra, I mean unless another kaiju's come around that's more pure of heart," said Twilight Sparkle.

More thoughtful looks from the others came. They had a big responsibility on their hooves to the ponies of Equestria and Equestria itself. This proposed spell seemed to add to the list of responsibilities.

"Bringing another kaiju to Equestria, huh? So instead of eleven destructive giants running loose, we'd have twelve?"

"But one of them wouldn't be loose, Princess Luna. It'd be on our side and we'd have control over it. Wouldn't we, Twilight Sparkle?"

"I'm ninety percent sure that is correct, Princess Celestia."

"Why stop at one? Why not use the spell to bring multiple good kaiju here?" asked Spike.

"This spell requires multiple spell casters and even then it takes a great deal out of the users. I'm afraid if we tried to do it several times, we'd exhaust ourselves beyond recovery. Besides, I think we could get the job done with only one kaiju. If we have it take on one or even two of the evil kaiju at separate times, it should be enough. These kaiju are pretty thinly spread across the map with one appearing on the west beaches, another in Ponyville, and the third up in the frozen north. Whoever freed them probably doesn't have full control over them yet. But if we're in agreement to do this, we'll have to do it now while the villain doesn't have full control over the kaiju yet," said Twilight Sparkle.

"There is one thing I'd like to discuss before we agree to do this," said Princess Cadence.

Celestia looked to Twilight Sparkle, who nodded her head in agreement.

"Proceed, Princess Cadence," said Princess Celestia.

"Thank you. Before we do this I was wondering how we should handle giving information to the citizens of Equestria. Should we be open to them? Or try to keep this under wraps for now to prevent wide spread panic?"

This got everypony to wondering exactly how they should proceed with releasing information of this caliber to the general public.

"We have to be open to the citizens. If we don't tell them and a kaiju shows up in their town without any kind of knowledge, there will be even more panic then if we hadn't told them. At least by telling them, they have a chance to take precautions on what to do in such a situation," said Princess Celestia.

"I second Celestia's stance on this subject," said Princess Luna.

"I third it," said Twilight Sparkle.

"I understand what you mean, me dear aunt. I fourth it," said Princess Cadence.

"I fifth it," said Discord.

Everypony glared at the chaos spirit, who looked around innocently.

"What?"

"It is now time to decide if we bring in a kaiju to fight on our side," said Princess Celestia.

Everypony looked on thoughtfully, except Twilight and Discord.

"I was always prepared to cast this spell if I needed to. I'm not changing that stance now," said Discord.

"If there's any chance at speeding up removing the kaiju from Equestria, we must take it," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Twilight and Discord are right. We have to do this," said Shining Armor.

"I trust Twilight with all my heart," said Cadence.

"As do I," said Princess Luna.

"I have trusted Twilight Sparkle since the day I met her. If she says this is the best way to help Equestria, then I stand by her side with all my confidence," said Princess Celestia.

Twilight Sparkle smiled as her face started to blush and a tear escaped her eye.

"Thank you, everypony, for having so much faith in me."

Discord yawned in boredom.

"Blah, blah, blah. Let's just get on with it," said Discord as he rolled his eyes.

"Then it's settled. Let us learn this spell so we may cast it and bring forth our last best hope to save Equestria," said Princess Celestia.

Everypony nodded their heads in agreement and gathered around to study the scroll on which the spell was written. Again, it was a very complicatedly written spell, and was not easy to read. But just like Twilight Sparkle always does for anything, the other ponies showed the kind of determination one needs to succeed. Perhaps this was the influence of Twilight Sparkle just being in a room surrounded by ponies who have known her and loved her for so long.

If this is so, it ended up paying off thus far, for after close examination of the scroll, everypony felt they were ready to try it. They didn't say anything to each other, they just gave each other looks that confirmed they were ready to move ahead and cast the spell. So, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Prince Shining Armor, Discord, and Princess Twilight Sparkle gathered around and formed into a circle.

"Try to get the portal to open in the castle's courtyard, everypony. There's no guarantee it'll work, but the least we can do is try," said Princess Celestia.

Everypony nodded their head in agreement and proceeded with the spell. Discord raised his hand into the air as all the ponies' horns began to glow with auras of magic. A soft, small wind began to blow around the circle of spell casters. With each passing moment, the wind began to pick up speed and strength until it was howling like a twister. A gray cloud began to form in the middle of the circle of spell casters. It grew and grew until it filled the room. Then finally with the wind blowing hard and the cloud as big as can be, lightning began to crackle, making thunder rumble as the spell casters' eyes began to glow.

All that was transpiring at the moment severely frightened the young dragon, Spike to the point where he was now hiding under the meeting table as he watched the events transpire. As the lightning crackled and thundered and the wind howled as loud as ever, the glows of magic auras from the spell casters got brighter and brighter, igniting a light within the gray cloud that brightened just as much. It finally got to the point where the brightness was totally blinding. Spike had to close his eyes and look away. But that didn't stop the scary sounds of the wind blowing and the lightning. Spike waited with his eyes shut for it to be over, not knowing when that will be or what the outcome would be. He waited and he waited.

And then finally...it was over. The wind stopped, as did the thunder and lightning. Spike realized this and opened his eyes. Just like he thought, the blinding light was gone, as was the giant cloud and electric bolts. Spike stared in disbelief, the events that just took place fresh in his mind. But then he caught himself and realized he was still under the table. He quickly ran out from underneath it and ran up to Twilight Sparkle's side.

Everypony looked around not sure of what just happened or exactly how to proceed.

"Did it work?" asked Shining Armor.

"The spell says we, as the spell casters, are suppose to feel when the portal opens. I didn't really feel anything like that. Did any of you?" said Twilight Sparkle.

"No," said Princes Luna.

"I didn't," said Princess Cadence.

"Not I," said Discord.

"Nor have I, Princess Twilight Sparkle," said Princess Celestia.

The violet pony looked to her brother who simply shook his head.

"Well...Twilight Sparkle did say that it could take a long time for the portal to open. So I'm not sure how to proceed," said Luna.

"I say we wait forty eight hours for the spell to take effect. If it hasn't by then, let's just assume it didn't work. We can always try again after those two days have gone by," said Princess Celestia.

Everypony agreed to the Sun Princess' suggestion.

"Good, now it's getting very late. It's been a long day and I'd say we all deserve a nice, long rest. We can pick up where we left off tomorrow," said Princess Celestia.

Twilight, Cadence, and Shining Armor looked outside and realized it was night time now. They hadn't even noticed Celestia and Luna had lowered the sun and raised the moon during the course of the meeting. Impressive power, but they knew that wouldn't be enough against what was coming. Now that they all thought of it, most of them were rather tired as well. Twilight Sparkle even let out a yawn.

"It is decided then. Meeting adjourned for the night. We'll continue again tomorrow," said Princess Celestia.

"Maybe all of you will, but for me the night is only the beginning. I shall go coordinate with the royal military captains while you all get the sleep you all deserve. I bid you sweet dreams," said Princes Luna.

Celestia walked up and hugged her sister, who hugged her right back. Then the princess of the night time world spread her wings and flew off to do her task.

"Tomorrow I have another, less complicated spell for us to cast, Princess Celestia," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Very good, Princess Twilight. You and Spike are welcomed to stay the night if you wish," said Princess Celestia.

Twilight Sparkle looked on her back and saw that Spike was half asleep.

"Thank you, kind Princess. I accept your offer."

"Very well then. Good night, Twilight Sparkle. I look forward to seeing you in the morning. I trust you remember where your regular guest room is?"

Twilight Sparkle nodded her head, followed by the two princesses respectfully bowing to each other.

"Well, I'm off now to dream of cotton candy clouds dancing in my head. If you all need me, you obviously know how to get a hold of me. I may not care much for the good guy role now and days, but we're all in this together," said Discord.

And with that, he was gone in a flash of light. Twilight Sparkle turned to her relatives, who walked up to her side.

"Our room will be three doors down if you need us for anything," said Shining Armor.

"Good night, Twilight, we love you," said Cadence.

"Thank you both. I love you too," said Twilight Sparkle.

The three shared a hug before they took off for their rooms.

"Do you think this spell will actually bring a good monster here to help us?" asked Spike sleepily.

"I'm not sure, Spike. But anything is worth a try at this moment. Equestria is gonna need all the help it can get," said Twilight Sparkle.

She entered her room and settled Spike and herself in for the night.

Well, I was hoping to get this one out before the MLP Season 4 Finale, but as you can all see, that didn't happen. Oh well. Speaking of the finale, IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME! I know a lot of bronies are gonna be upset about the rainbowfied ponies, but it honestly doesn't bother me that much. I don't really get bothered by things other bronies do...except the Derpy censoring. I'm not one of those analyst on You Tube like Dr. Wolf and Josh Scorcher who can pick an episode apart and analyze everything about it, even though I still respect and admire them. If I see something I like, then that's it, if I don't like it, that's it. But anyways, I'd like to thank all those who submitted their votes for the kaiju inclusion. And to all those who didn't...oh well. Feel PLEASE leave a review after reading and don't be afraid to tell me about any spelling error, grammar error, or otherwise, so I can fix it to the best of my ability. Also I would like you feedback on my chapters' length increasing as the story goes on. Does it bother you? Do you like it? Can I go longer? Or should I try to get them back to the length they used to be. I'm The Guy Who Likes To Write Stuff, signing off. BTW: This will probably be the last chapter before the GODZILLA 2014 premiere. I pre-order my tickets on Fandango and am looking forward to seeing it on premiere day. ...He's coming. ...He's coming. ...HE'S COMING!
