-Canterlot-
Douglass watched with wide eyes as none other than the King of Monsters charged Gigan, his claws splayed out. Gigan shrieked in fear as Godzilla swung a forelimb at the cyborg, striking it's head.
Gigan leapt backwards, dodging another swing. It then lifted a scythed arm and shot forth from it's arm, a chained grapple hook. It swung around Godzilla's neck and body, limiting his mobility.
Godzilla angrily bellowed as Gigan swung the chains around his arms, pulling the king towards a chest mounted buzz saw. The saw began to spin rapidly, making a loud buzzing sound.
Godzilla appeared to swell with rage as Gigan made a cackling sound that was reminiscent of a demented laugh. Bellowing a sound of thunder, Godzilla wrapped his arms around the chains, bracing to snap them in two.
Captain Gordon could only watch...
Godzilla yanked on the chains with full force, pulling Gigan to the ground and snapping the chains in two. Godzilla bellowed in triumph as he pulled the chains off of his body. The King of Monsters then began to swing the broken chains around like a lasso.
Gigan forced itself to it's feet, only to have his own chains swung around his feet. Godzilla pulled the chains again, throwing Gigan to the ground again. Godzilla hazardously dropped the chains and thundered toward Gigan, his claws balled into a fist.
Gigan shook it's armored head in the hope of breaking it's daze. Gigan began to panic as the form of Godzilla approached, growling and grunting. The king lifted Gigan to it's feet and promptly threw a fist at the cyborg's face.
Sparks flew as Gigan's circuits fried. Godzilla grabbed the robot by the neck. He then, with all of his might, wrenched the cyborg's head free from it's wretched shoulders.
Gigan's body began to go into tremors, vibrating spasmodically as Godzilla bellowed triumphantly.
-Unknown Place and Time-
"RRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!" X screamed, veins popping from his skull as he angrily stamped on the floor. Finally, he calmed down enough to say; "If Gigan can't do it, then another monster WILL!"
-Aftermath of the Kaiju Battle, Canterlot-
Onyx heavily coughed, waving a hoof in front of his face as dust floated through the air. Scarlet Blitz came up from behind the stallion, a hoof covered her mouth to act as an air filter. "Are you okay?" she coughed.
"Yeah." Onyx replied. He knew he wasn't. His lungs burned from the dust, his eyes were hurting, and his entire body was covered with cuts and bruises. "I'll live." he said, his attention focused on a dark figure approaching the two.
Onyx poised himself for defense, only to find that the figure was Captain Gordon. A rocket launcher was strapped to his back and his trench coat was covered in holes from hot ashes. "Onyx!" he exclaimed, his voice cracked as he tossed the weapon to the ground.
"Hello, Captain." Onyx coughed, glancing at the large gun. "What's that for?" he choked pointing at the rocket launcher.
"That?" Douglass said, covering his mouth to prevent ash from entering his lungs. "Was trying to distract Gigan from the castle. It didn't help much. But it stalled the beast long enough for Godzilla to finish him off." he answered.
"Gigan?" Onyx gasped.
"Giant cyborg." Captain Gordon exclaimed.
At that moment, Princess Celestia landed near the trio, followed by Princess Luna. "Well," she started, surprisingly calm, "this was a complete disaster. Captain Gordon, I can only hope that this plan of yours works." she continued.
"What about Frost Bloom?" Scarlet Blitz interjected. "She could be hurt."
Princess Celestia turned to Scarlet and gazed at her for a minute. Her normally white pelt was now covered with dirty patches. Celestia welled up with sympathy. "I will do anything and everything in my power to find you friends." she said, touching a hoof to Scarlet's chin.
"Thank you." she replied.
-Elsewhere in the Canterlot Wreckage-
"HELP ME!!" a voice called. "SOMEPONY, HELP ME!" Rainbow Dash slowly came back into consciousness. Her head throbbed and her body ached. "SOMEPONY!" the voice cried again. The cyan pegasus leapt to her hooves with wide eyes.
"Hellooo?" she called. Rainbow Dash scanned the wreckage. Again the voice came. "Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed as the sight of a icy blue mare caught her eye. It was Frost Bloom.
"Rainbow Dash!" Frost Bloom choked. "My leg. It's stuck. I can't move!" she said with a tone of fear.
Rainbow Dash looked the pony over. Frost had one thing right. Her leg was trapped under a pile of brick. The pegasus also noticed that Frost's ;eft eye was tightly shut. Her body was covered in scratches and bruises.
"Okay." Rainbow Dash started. "Don't move. I can get you out." The Element of Loyalty grabbed hold of a large piece of brick that was crushing Frost's leg. Rainbow Dash beat her wings as hard as she could, but to no result. -I can do this- the pegasus thought to herself. She tried to move the piece of rubble again. It didn't budge.
"Rainbow Dash..." Frost Bloom moaned.
"I'm trying!" she replied. She couldn't do it, no matter how hard she tried. "I'll go get help!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Don't worry!"
Just then, a figure approached. It's shadowy silhouette blended with the gray landscape. "Back off!" Rainbow Dash growled, spreading her wings. The figure stopped momentarily before continuing to advance upon her.
"Unless you want your friend to die, I suggest you move." the figure replied flatly. It was then that Rainbow Dash began to make out the figure's features. It had a muscular build, no doubt, and a chevron mustache. He was also wearing a brown trench coat and a scarab, as well as a holster.
"I recognize you!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Your that captain from the hallway!"
"Brilliant, Holmes." he replied sarcastically. "Now move."
Rainbow Dash wasn't sure whether to trust the stallion or not, She would've stayed put had Princess Celestia not said it was safe. "This is Captain Gordon. He is here to help."
The cyan pegasus stepped aside, eying Gordon suspiciously.
"Help." the icy blue mare said weakly before she lost consciousness. Captain Gordon effortlessly threw the brick from Frost Bloom's leg and hoisted her onto his shoulder.
"We should go." Douglass said.
"But what about the other elements?!" Rainbow Dash asked. It was then that she noticed a brown stallion and a white mare behind Princess Celestia. She recognized the white pony. But not the brown one.
-Three Hours Later-
After hours of searching for the other five elements of harmony, they were all together. Onyx sadly watched everybody excited to see each other. All he had was the memory of his brother's death. His shoulder's sagged as he lowered his head.
A piece of paper floated to the ground at Onyx's feet. It was a photo of when the two brothers' father was alive. Ratchet was a demolition derby racer then, and he had won a derby the day that the photo was taken.
Onyx smiled weakly and lifted the singed photo from the ground. It was hot to the touch, but he didn't care.
"Hey." Scarlet's voice said. Onyx jerked his head up and saw Scarlet standing in front of him. Looking down at the photo in the stallion's hooves, she said; "Was this your family?"
"Yeah." Onyx replied sadly. He let his head fall against Scarlet's shoulder blade. He just needed a hug. Scarlet could begin to feel him sob quietly. Hesitantly, she put her arms around the sad stallion. At the moment, he was a colt in a stallion's body. "What did I do wrong?" he cried into Scarlet's shoulder.
Scarlet Blitz felt terrible for Onyx. He had, only a few hours earlier, watched his brother die. The mare couldn't begin to imagine or understand how he was feeling.
Slowly, Onyx pulled away from Scarlet, his tear stained face looking down at his hooves. Scarlet blitz gazed into his brown eyes. "I'm scared." Onyx said at last. "And I don't know what to do."
"Excuse me?" the voice of Fluttershy said, softly. The two ponies looked up. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Princess Celestia wanted me to tell you that it's time to go."
Onyx remained silent. Scarlet nodded her head in conformation. "Okay." she said. Turning to Onyx, she then said, "I'm sorry about your loss."
"Thank you." the young stallion sniffed.
