That morning was full of the loud yells and sobs of the ponies who witnessed the nights events. And for those who didn't ( only a small handful), the ruins of half the castle and pieces of tanks and machinery were enough to show that something big happened last night. The mane six had been reunited with the princess and together, over the remainder of the night, tried to put together the puzzle. " it can't have been genetically made. A lab grown creature like that would be hard to create. It's own mass would kill it anyways. " twilight spoke to celestia, the latter nodding her head. " it could be from before our time. Before humans even." Celestia sugested. " a prehistoric creature would be easier to explain but, nothing like that exits in any accounts. "

" you told me that there was a human made structure in the tunnels right? Could there have been documents or clues pertaining to the monster?"

Twilight rushed over to her saddle bags, grabbing a pile of dusty papers. " we recovered the papers. One of them could tell us more about the creature." The purple unicorn said, before professionally rampaging through the old, crumbling pages of content, most of which was either unimportant, or made no sense. It was a streak of brownish yellow that caught twilights eye. Suddenly, a strikingly, well kept folder was pulled out of the pile in a transparent cloak of purple. The paper. Unlike the others, was newer looking, with a seemingly scratch less, torn free appearance. The two ponies new that this was important.

Upon opening the folder, a barrage of pristine white papers with block letters arranged in perfect orders and newspaper clippings fell out and onto the floor. The ponies hurriedly scrambled the pieces back onto the desk afterwards. Twilight was more focused on not damaging the papers than she really cared about reading any of them, but one marble block of paper stood out among the rest. On it were solid black letters that spelled a title.

PROJECT MONARCH REPORT:

Ranotori incident

out of curiosity twilight started reading the report. After a few moments of silence, twilight gulped, and said quietly. " celestia, I know what this creature is now." Celestia shot her head around to twilight who then continued speaking." The humans knew about him before they Knew he was alive. In these papers, a group of human citizens saw the bird creature while hiking. They already had fossil evidence of a large prehistoric bird, but they believed it to be extinct. Soon they tracked down the creature and captured it and locked it in an under ground holding area. They also named it. The human who discovered it named the fossil tyrantori, or ' tyrant bird'. The humans who hunted him down called him ' ranotori' or ' thunder bird'. The fossils dated back nearly sixty million years ago. " celestia's eyes grew wide. She then stated. " this creature is older than any sentient species on this planet. " twilight nodded. " it's stated that due to the ecosystem back then, it was the dominat species of that time. And it soon evolved into dinosaurs and later modern birds. " celestia's face grew very pale. " what does it eat?" Twilight was caught off gaurd by that question. " ummm... Well it says in here they believed it to consume radiation. " she said slowly and unsure." radi-I-I-ation?" The princess said, uneasy. Both ponies suddenly remembered the lava tube. " my theory is that the tunnel we went into was carved by the humans to contain ' Ranotori'. They studied him. And we let it go." Twilight spoke, terror rising through her voice, while slowly realizing that there was a gigantic, irradiated monster unleashed in equestria. " you released him?" Celestia questioned. " well rainbow hit this button and it must have opened a door to its holding area. " celestia shook her head. " never mind, what's important is that we track this creature down and find a way to get rid of it." It was then that, coincidently, a scroll appeared out of thin air, in a cloud of green fire and smoke. The princess quickly unrolled and read the scroll. Her eyes grew larger and larger until she stopped scanning the page. " ranotori is headed towards Los Pegasus. " the silence in the room intensified drastically. But celestia and twilight came to a conclusion fast. " are the elements safe?" Twilight asked. Celestia nodded her head. " gather your friends. It's a long train ride to Los Pegasus. " twilights previously horrified face began to reverse. She knew that she would be off on another adventure. " I'll see you at train station. " celestia said. Twilights smile drooped into puzzlement. " your going with us?"

" i will be assisting you and your friends in ridding our land of the creature. Luna will stay here to take on my roles." She said as she watched her students smile reappear. Twilight ran off to gather her friends while celestia looked for her sister. It was silent for once.

In the morning suns light, five Pegasi ponies flew through the cold air, seemingly following something. Even though silence was constant around them, the occasional ' THUNK' was heard from the mass of fire below the wonderbolts. Spitfire was especially calm when she was asked to follow after ranotori and to mark where he was every 2 hours. So far his direction had been set on Los Pegasus. Spitfire looked down to see the firey red and orange titan below her flap its enormous wings. She noticed its strange flapping motion. Instead of a rowing motion, it was slow drawn out ripple along the wings. The wondrbolts captain lifted her head back into the crisp morning sky as wind constantly attacked her mane, sending it in every direction. Looking back down she noticed that ranotori almost blended in with the morning sky's pallet of red, yellow and orange. The wonderbolts just kept following the behemoth, and they would continue till it landed. But as spitfire looked down again at the creature, she accidentally flew into cloud, blinding her. Before she got out of it, though, the full gray of the cloud was replaced by red as the air temperature around spitfire shot up in degrees. The Pegasus managed to avoid hitting ranotoris large wing, which quickly saw was on fire. She stopped and hovered for a few seconds and observed the rippling sea of constant fire, while she puzzled over the sight. She then caught up with the other four ponies while taking small glances at the fire covered bird below her. They continued on to the birds destination.

It was a vibrant morning for the ponies living in Los Pegasus. Nothing seemed out of the usual; ponies stepping out of houses either made of cloud or brick, and strolling along , waving to neighbors, merrily to the nearest diner and grabbing their daily breakfast. Then they continued on to the grey metal skyscrapers or industrial cloud buildings that shot out rainbows from them. There were no exceptions for the crew of the royal guard boat positioned a few miles out to sea.

The morning couldn't have been better for spade. She and her crew had been on the case of pirates haunting the west coast, raiding ships, leaving terrified victims. They had finally caught the criminals the previous night. Spade smiled as she slowly sipped her morning coffee, reclining in her chair below deck, her hind legs crossed on a small table. The day was easy for her. " just a watch day. No pirates or unregistered vessels." Spade said. Her smile soon left as shouts were heard from the top deck. " in the name of..," spade said as she slowly got up out her chair and started making her way to the ladder that led to the deck above her. as she started to climb, the shouts of her crew became clearer. " that thing in the distance...," what is ..." " ...monster!..." Shouted the bedraggled crew. " monster? There's no way the crew could see a hydra, much less a dragon here so close to civilization." Spade muttered under her breath as she opened the hatch to the top deck. She climbed out to see her crew running around the deck, frightened looks on their faces as they shouted. Spade whistled, bringing every pony to silence. " what is talk of a monster. That is nonsense. No creature would come within ten miles of Los Pegasus. So quite prancing around and - and..." Spade just noticed the source of the crews fears. Several large plates, almost as large as the guard boat, cut through the water straight towards the boat. Every pony held their stillness as the titanic objects came straight for them. But right before hitting the boat, they went under missing the boat by several feet. The boat then fell in with the displaced water, before rising back up. The crew was still in shock as the boat became still once more. The captain almost had a heart attack after the event. But it was not due to the creature, but which direction it happened to be going in. " it-it's headed for Los Pegasus!" Captain spade realized. Her gaze caught the plates returning to the surface like knives slicing their way towards the main land.

Ranotori's flight path changed dramatically. The wonder bolts and the monster bird had just started to see the city of Los Pegasus when ranotori decided to start a barrel roll. " move out the way! Fall back! Fall back!" Spitfire screamed into her head set. The Pegasi shot of the way when the bird started diving, spinning as well. The confused ponies watched it turn into a tornado of orange red, as it picked up speed while it head straight for the ground. It got closer and closer to the ground, a collision sure to happen, when it slammed into the earth. A cloud of dust was kicked up by the impact, obscuring any view of the now seemingly dead Titan.

The elements and celestia had arrived minutes before the creatures suicide. The train station happened to be on a mountain about a mile away from the city itself. There they could watch what would happen next. When the dust had cleared, no giant dead monster lay on the ground, but a hole had appeared. " it drilled into the ground!" Pinkie shouted. " There is a uranium deposit under the city. ranotori is probably feeding." Soon all the ponies, wonder bolts and mane six both, turned their heads in the same direction. But not towards the hole. The ground shook then, as the ponies looked out towards the sea.

The beaches at Los Pegasus were surprisingly full at 6 in the morning. Pastel colored ponies paraded around the luxurious white sand, while others swam in the cool ocean water. It wasn't long, though, before some pony noticed something was off. It was just a regular Pegasus who just wanted to enjoy his day off from work, at the beach. But it was him who noticed the ocean water dramatically receding. An obvious omen to an upcoming disaster. " tsunami!" He screamed as he flew up into the air. His shouts drew the attention of all those on the beach, who seconds before had been laughing or having fun, now started to run or fly from the scene, as a wave the size of sky scrapers came closer to the beach. It then hit the shore and washed into the lower part of the city.

The ponies who had reach a higher stand point sighed relief. But as soon as the ground shook, and paused and shook again, they realized there was something more to the tsunami than the wave. Every one in the city slowly turned their head towards the bay, where a gigantic creature lifted itself out of the water. It was as tall as any building that pony kind could build, and it's skin was that like of an alligators. On the monsters back was a valley of knife like protrusions that ran down to its long tail. The creature then lifted its head before opening it's mouth, letting out a fierce roar, not that of an animal, but that of royalty.

Twilight at that time, was frantically searching through the project monarch papers looking for some clue as to what this new monster was. It was a news clipping that revealed it all. Having learned this new titans name, She muttered under her breath. " godzilla."
