The Pegasus team flew alongside the titanic bird, while the mane six with the princess followed after the reptilian monster that was right on ranotori's trail. Godzilla was set on regaining his rightful throne from the creature that had taken it from him. His footfalls came down like axes, smashing into the ground and pulling back out again, leaving an imprint of his foot.

As ranotori flew over the landscape, the perpetual fire that engulfed him grilled the trees down to dry husks, before catching ablaze. As both monsters made their way to pony ville, the ominous streak of fear followed close by. In celestia's mind she could see the carnage from Los Pegasus being photoshopped into pony ville. Buildings being crushed or knocked down. Trees on fire. The world ending. The fate of equestria wasn't in her hooves anymore, but in the gaping jaws of two titans who were resistant to bullets, immune to fire, and left unscathed from bombs. And worse still: these two monsters were now locked in war. A war that would end every thing she knew and cared about. And it wasn't the monsters themselves she worried about. While the monsters had declared war on each other, ponies across equestria eventually learned about the canterlot incident. This frightened many causing most to go hide away in basements and shelters. But a few had decided to take the situation to a whole new level. " they know now. They know that a species had lived before us. And the only reason why they would figure it out was the initial search for a powerful weapon." Celestia stated after consulting the newspaper. " but we have the elements of harmony? Why would some pony just go out and build a weapon when we already have a defense against threats?" Rainbow asked. The princess sighed and shook her head. " it doesn't work like that. The elements and the very energy they're powered by can not be used on any thing non evil. As far as we know, these monsters are prehistoric creatures we just accidentally woke up ,Now engaged in combat. "

" oh. But is there a way to deter them from attacking the major cities and towns?" Twilight questioned. The sun princess gave her student a sad look. " no, we don't." Every ponies gaze fell to the floor. Not a single sound was made, not even the shuffling wings could be heard and it seemed the sound of the train had melted away. It was fluttershy who lifted her head to speak. " umm? Excuse me, but uhh... Couldn't we just... Lead ranotori away with ... Radiation?" She asked. It took a few moments for her words to sink in. Every pony lifted their stare to the timid Pegasus. " it was just suggestion." She said sorrowful. "Fluttershy! Your a genius!" Twilight stated. " I...I Am?"

The confused pony spoke. " all we need to do is lure them away with a large source of radiation. That will buy us time to evacuate the town to a safer area. And then..."

" let the monsters destroy my beloved city." Said celestia in a dead pan tone. " if they destroy another one of my cities, they might as well bring destruction to all equestria. If they so have one more city, were dead." Again silence took the ponies. Out of the dread and silence stepped out one. " with all due respect princess, ah don't think we should give in yet." Applejack spoke. " it's not the town itself that's important, but the people who live and work there. And if we give up, we will be giving up there lives along with it. " every one turned their gaze to her, their minds consulting the meaning of her short speech. " your absolutely right." Celestia said, her past fear denial gone. " we need to send a message to pony ville and warn them to evacuate. " she said seriously. " after all it is the citizens who need saving, not the town." The sun princess spoke, her voice injured by the memories of starting the great town that was doomed to be the next battle field of a war, had come to mind. Even though the town could not be guaranteed protection from the giants, the citizens could be saved from Impending doom. As the princess looked out the window at the ravaged country side, a realization hit her. " what have gotten into?" She whispered as the train headed east.

The sky was a dimming gray, and the air was humid. Everywhere the world suggested silence and peace, but a consistent feeling of dread hung through every thing. It was if the earth knew and was anticipating for the sky to fall. And then it did. Suddenly the lush, green landscape started to become a waning black as fires started popping into existence on trees every where. Soon the charred world was passed over head by a even darker shadow. Soon it was left in peace, right before a titanic foot smashed into it before pulling out of its imprint and continuing to walk forward. The king of monsters walked with fury in each step, his thirst to see this enemy of his dead. Ranotori would pay, and pay hard for crawling out of whatever hell he came from. Godzilla was ready for him this time. This time he was going to come out victor.

Even Though Ranotori was flying as the fastest speed he could muster, when he reached his destination, Godzilla would be right there waiting for him. A battle was evident, and who ever wins, equestria is doomed. As the monsters made their way to the battle ground, the hundreds of ponies hid in shelters and ran about the streets in panicked succession. Children were held close to their mothers while their fathers helped gather and control the frightened public. It was a dark time for every one, and no one could doubt it.

The train slowly pulled into the station, before releasing its passengers who practically flew off of it and made their way to the center of town. The mane 6 and princess celestia pushed through the crowds and towards the center of town. After making their way to the center, celestia cast up a brilliant bright light. " citizens, I know you are panicked and frightened but there is no need to be. The train will take you to away from here so you will all be safe." Celestia said in a loud booming voice. " we can't go any where else! " a voice in the crowd challenged. " those two creatures are going to bring an end to not just this, but every thing we know and care about! And if you think that the best option is just to run away, then you wrong." The voice said again, this time it's owner ( a mint green unicorn) stepped up with it. " I know where they came from and what the are doing here. I also know what they've done before." She stated, putting a shocked look on the princesses face. " but ... How could...?"

" how could I know? It's very simple . Wanna take a guess?" The pony said snob like. Celestia remained in stunned silence. " these creatures came out of no where. It's obvious the reptile one came out from the ocean to hunt the bird one, but the bird is where I make my statement. If it wanted to show up years ago it could have. However, it didn't. So why? Why didn't it" the pony slowly made her way in front of celestia. She turned to face the crowd, and said. " I'll tell you why. Because it was locked up in a vault for thousands of years. But we never did it. We didn't know these creatures existed till now. You know who did though? Do you?" She lowered her voice on her last few words before stating. " humans." The crowd gasped in shock before realizing the fact they didn't know what a human was. " and you knew that 'princess' celestia, didn't you. You even have a mosaic on your wall that depicts them. And they knew about these monsters." The crowd then turned from being confused to angry. Angry at the princess.

Celestia slowly backed away from the angry mob around her. " you knew about this?" Some pony yelled angrily from the sea of ponies. "You lied to us!" Stated another. " please! Control yourselves! " celestia tried to yell, but to no avail. " please, just... Just stop and get back!" She said, but again the crowd ignored her. The were a few inches from the celestial princess when a loud boom ran through the air. Again it came, this time closer. " no, oh no, please, no!" Celestia yelled. A loud bird screech drowned out her voice however. The crowd of ponies stared at the direction the sounds came from, trying to discover their origins. That's when a blur of fiery red and orange crashed through several buildings and into center of town. " run!" Screamed a few of the ponies. The fleeing ponies screamed and thrashed as the crowd left a vacant battle field for the two emerging titanic forces.

1 hour earlier

Apple bloom and her friends sat in their treehouse, musing over their last venture. " there just isn't any exiting things in pony ville any more." She said depressed. " I know. All the action is taking place in canterlot. You heard what happened a night ago?" Scootaloo said. "What happened?" Sweetie belle spoke. ". Well they said this bird thing destroyed part of canterlot. It flew off down to Los Pegasus where it fought this giant lizard and now they are both headed toward pony ville." Scootaloo said. The other two fillies stared at scootaloo in amazement. Apple bloom quickly lost her shocked look before saying. " I got it! Cutie mark crusader monster hunters!" She yelled before scavenging for supplies. " that's a great idea!" Sweetie belle responded happily. " umm I don't know apple bloom, this seems serious. Even if it is a chance at getting our cutie marks, I don't want to risk death. " scootaloo stated, clearly troubled by her friends idea. " ohh come on ya chicken. This could be our big chance to finally get our cutie marks, an if you wanna wimp out, then fine me an sweetie belle will get our cutie marks. Besides how could we possibly get injured? Well be ok." Apple bloom said before pulling out a simple butterfly net. She took it in her mouth and offered it to scootaloo. " so ar yr n? R rt?" She said, her words muffled by the net in her mouth. Scootaloo hesitated for a moment before gingerly accepting the butterfly net. " let's go!" Apple bloom yelled as they filed out of the tree house. ' I hope your right apple bloom.' Scootaloo thought as they headed for town

Lyra was sitting on a park bench, in her ' usual' position. Normally she would be smiling and watching the colts and fillies play around her, or talk to her friends. But today, she sat watching the gray sky with no emotion, ignoring the sounds of children. She was alone. And although she was silent and calm, her thoughts were angry and full of fire. ' how could they lie to us? Their citizens they are supposed to be protecting.' A day ago she was scrambling from a train at canterlot station, as another exited tourist. She went there to see and try to help clean up the terror stricken town. Her efforts brought her to a chance meeting with a frightened pony who had witnessed what he called the ' thunder bird'. This interested Lyra, and she began to start investigating this creature. Even though she didn't believe that a gigantic creature had rampaged through canterlot, she was eating her words when she arrived at the castle grounds that were littered with burnt tanks and spent shell casings. As she walked through the damage she soon arrived at a massive foot print imbedded in the ground. That was enough to convince her that the earth quakes weren't to blame for the destruction of half of the city. Her investigations eventually led her to a stained glass window, decorated with with a planet that was split between thermonuclear war and a peaceful land with grass and flowers and trees. " what does this mean?" Lyra asked herself. It was a pile of papers that were strewn messily across the hall that caught her eye. Every thing fitted into place all of a sudden. The one word she could think of, much less utter, was " humans."

Present

The town fled In terror away from the dueling fates as buildings were being torn down and random fires were started everywhere. " go! Hurry!" The princess shouted to the fleeing towns ponies. " get out and away from the town! Find a safe place! Now!" Celestia yelled again. Soon the crowds dispersed leaving a few stragglers behind that were helped by fluttershy and rainbow dash. When every pony was Secured away from the monsters, twilight ran through a list of every pony in the town. " oh no! This can't happen now!" Twilight screamed. " what is it?" Rarity asked, while approaching twilight. " we're missing a few ponies." Rarity suddenly ran to twilights side as she stifled through the papers. " wait, where's sweetie belle? And apple bloom, and ... Oh my, scootaloo isn't accounted for either! This is dreadful!" Rarity said, the realization of her sister being in peril struck her. " wait? Who's missing 'gain?" Apple jack said, galloping over. " oh no, ma sisters not marked down." She said worriedly. " it's alright, they are most likely alive. They are probably stuck in the town." Twilight stated, trying to calm her friends fears. " we need to go down and get ' em." Apple jack said. Twilight brought her gaze to her friends eyes. " it's dangerous and we All can't go. We can't risk losing any more ponies. But i know your little sisters down there as well as her friends, and we can't afford to lose them." Twilight said to apple jack. " then I'll go down alone and get them." Apple jack spoke. " if they are anywhere, try looking at the west part of town. That's where the monsters haven't reached yet, and if they are all right, then they most likely made it to there." Rarity included. " I will be back with them as soon as possible." Apple jack said before rushing into the orange glaze from the smoldering ponyville and disappearing. " i hope they're alright." Rarity said. " don't worry, those three are the smartest fillies I know. They're alive, I just know it." Twilight said looking upon the clashing titans. " I just know it."

Apple jack raced through the piles of debris and fire as she frantically searched for her sister and her friends. They seemed to be nowhere in the abandoned town. Every place that could most possibly be, yielded no fillies. But just as she had practically looked everywhere, and apple jack herself was beginning to consider giving up, a small cry was barely sound amidst the sounds of battle. The frantic pony heard this and galloped off in its direction. She passed by the burned out shops of the market place where ponies had gone to buy their groceries and daily products. Now they laid as empty shells of their former selves. But Apple jack paid no attention as she rushed toward the ever increasing cry's for help. She soon found the hiding place of her sister and her friends. It was the town hall, which stood very close to the battle ground of the two monsters. A.J quickly galloped to the front doors, narrowly missing being stepped on by a gigantic foot. She frantically opened the door and stepped inside. She closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief before being pounced upon by a unknown force. She opened her eyes and prepared to do battle with her unseen foe. " Apple jack!" Screamed three adolescent voices, happily. She sighed again realizing it was the three fillies she was searching for. " there ya all are. Been searching all over. Glad to see you all safe." Apple jack said while over looking the fillies. " it's good to see you too big sister." Apple bloom said, embracing her sister. Suddenly the building started shaking as if caught in a terrible storm. The windows were all blown out and the wind from out side blew smaller objects out of the building entirely. " come on. We need to get out of here." A.J said to the three younger ponies. They grabbed the butterfly nets they had with them and followed apple jack to the door. They took small, quick glances out the windows, but didn't see what they were searching for. Just as they all reached the door though, the building cracked and started to acend. The ponies quickly sucked as the town hall seemed to levitate for a second before rocketing off towards the giant reptilian. The three fillies looked out in amazement at the giant creature. " we're gonna need a bigger net."

Then a loud, ear piercing screech rang out, which was followed by the mighty roar of Godzilla, answering. Ranotori suddenly appeared out of the sky, twisting as he dived before slamming into Godzilla's chest. The blow knocked the creature down, but not even the strongest attack ranotori could muster could keep the king down for long. He suddenly got up, and with vengeance, swung his powerful tail into the exhausted ranotori. This knocked the monster straight back, threatening to smash into the exact spot where four shocked ponies stood, watching in awe. Seeing this, apple jack quickly got behind the fillies and started ushering them away from their current standing point. " come on now, we need to go." She said as they galloped as fast as they could away from the area. They managed to make far enough before the titanic bird crash landed into the ground, slightly missing apple jack by a few feet. But the creatures flames licked at the mare for a second, burning and scarring her right hind leg. The apple bloom turned around to her sister, alerted by her scream. " I'm okay. Keep going." A.J said in pain. Upon seeing the agony of walking, apple bloom quickly started helping her sister walk. Soon they all made it out of the town and into the survivor camps. " apple jack! " happily said twilight as she ran over to her friend. " twilight, she got hurt badly." Apple bloom said, pulling her sister over to the unicorn. " I'll see what I can do." Twilight said. As the fillies were led into the camps, twilight couldn't help but watch the battle between the two monsters. The way they fought each other was brutal but well planned with strategy. Every downward strike was dodged, every spinning dive met a crash landing into Godzilla's arm. What Interested twilight was how ranotori seemed to produce perpetual fire. Her best guess was that he produced a flammable gas through a gland and that gas emanates from pores under the feathers, waiting for a source of ignition. This would explain ranotori's fire breath attacks. As soon as she was finished bandaging apple jacks leg, twilight lifted the injured pony and headed back towards the camps. Just before entering the forest twilight turned around to see Godzilla shove off ranotori from clawing his back. In a final moment of effort, the creature threw him off and onto the ground. After a moment of stillness, a flurry of

Fire shot up into the air, ranotori's screech rang followed soon. Godzilla roared in response at the fleeing bird. Twilight ducked as the enflamed bird shot over her head and fly inland. Twilight opened her eyes and turned forward back to the camp. She smiled slightly, realizing that godzilla had won this battle against ranotori. Although he didn't succeed in killing him, he still was standing at the scene of the battle. Twilight disapeared into the forest as godzilla let one massive roar of triumph that sounded above all else, silencing everything. ' the king has retaken what's rightfully his.' Twilight though as she arrived at the survivor camp. The loud thuds of Godzilla's foot steps echoed through out everything as he followed the bird one more, content to finish him off. Unknown to the ponies, ranotori again was headed in a specific direction again. This time, he was headed for mane hatten, with Godzilla not far behind.

Sorry for not writing for a while. I lost interest for a while but I willed myself to return to finish this story. I tried to focus less on the battle in this chapter and focus more on having a rescue mission take place in ponyville. And to make a lot of Godzilla fans happy, Godzilla finally won a battle against ranotori, but ranotori is still alive and has some left in him.
