Chapter 47
“The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our thinking. Thus, we are drifting toward catastrophe beyond conception. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.”
— Albert Einstein
Crystal Empire
And so, two stood in the midst of a devastated earth. Like a world long forgotten before, now reborn into a new age, with new rulers, in a new home. Yet that rivalry never died. That evil was never killed, only locked away. Left to rest. Left to wait. As they fought once before in that old world power, so too did they fight now. A raging balance for control and dominance over the world and its people… even if the world and its people paid the price for their war.
Flames consumed the ruins, of which miles and miles of it were spread. The Crystal Empire had become a skeleton of its former self, scorched to its core with pain, desolation, and woe spread from end of the Empire to the next. The fog shrouded the air and the snow blanketed the skies and the earth. Storms grew heavy as lightning pierced the heavens with its ghastly, golden hue. In the heart of the Empire, the Crystal Castle had fallen, only fragments and ashes of its prior majesty remaining. All of it, every inch of the death and destruction, slowly covered in a phantom-white frost.
It was their war. They claimed it and raged within it. The world and those around them suffered now as they had so many million years ago. Hardly anything had changed. The flags were different, but the ideals were the same: Life against death. Freedom against tyranny. Fundamental aspects of survival. Once more, the world was left to wait and watch as the gods did battle.
As their fate was yet to be decided.
Godzilla had been fighting for so long, so hard, his body was pushing itself to its limit. He was so very weary but he just couldn’t stop. That immense forces within him mixed with his natural nuclear power clashed and fused, created something far too dangerous and far too powerful to be controlled. Godzilla was feeling the effects of it, his body beginning to break down, his mind beginning to falter. His heart increasing and never slowing down.
He didn’t know what would happen if he kept fighting, if he released the power as he had for the MUTO. For Sombra, that was but a morsel, a mere fragment that Godzilla had let slip through. If he released it fully, let that power consume his entire being, he didn’t know what would happen. He didn’t know if he could even handle it, let alone survive. Then again, he remembered what he was faced with. He knew what would happen if he failed. That was enough for Godzilla to keep standing, to keep fighting.
King Ghidorah recognized his valor. The one who rose against him before now rose against him again. Never did they truly change. Neither one of them. History had a way of repeating itself, but Ghidorah had no intention of falling in the frozen wastes yet again. In the blizzard of which they fought, Ghidorah raged with an unholy drive fueling his actions. His cries tore across the ruins of the Crystal Empire and echoed that of Godzilla’s own. His claws slashed at Ghidorah. His jaws bit and tore at Godzilla. They were locked in a deadly dance of superiority in which neither was willing to die.
Only now, Godzilla did not stand alone.
The world stood with him.
Filling the earth, the armies of T.I.T.A.N. and of the nations flooded the streets and surrounded the cataclysmic clash of the two Titans. Leading these troops, the many generals ordered an immediate targeting of the golden hydra. Only after they were given confirmation from Special Agent Bon Bon and her forces. With countless soldiers, cannons, tanks, trebuchets, and so many other weapons of war readying themselves around her, Bon Bon looked to her allies.
Daring Do nodded her way. Spike did in tandem. Lyra was beside her, meeting Bon Bon’s eyes and refusing to let go. To back away. To go anywhere except right by her side.
And that was enough.
Bon Bon gave the order. Gave it with a thunderous roar of her heart that was followed by the thundering of the earth around her.
Tanks and cannons and magical blasts shot free from the ground, striking Ghidorah in one singular instant. The explosive discharge hit the Devil and caused him to writhe, to cry out to such an attack. Though, he couldn’t focus on the maggots on the ground. Terror fell from the skies when T.I.T.A.N.’s fleet followed through.
Shining Armor led from the Radiance. The Radiance led T.I.T.A.N. and T.I.T.A.N. led the conjoined nations of the planet and the rulers of many. The brave and the free. The loyal and the fearless. They all came together to launch one final assault on the last foe standing, the last enemy that had yet to be defeated. So, they rained fire. Cannons and flames fell from the sky and struck Ghidorah.
He shrieked.
The attacks kept coming from the air and from below, with Godzilla unceasing in his own merciless, murderous rampages against him. It was growing too much at once. So much was happening that Ghidorah could not keep track or his focus on the one enemy who he absolutely needed to focus on. He felt it broiling inside of him, cackling in unhinged energy as the storm cackled in response.
The chaotic forces he consumed from the draconequus were ready to be unleashed. His storm was reacting to his will, and King Ghidorah was willing it into action. It swirled overhead, the winds increasing and the lightning growing more and more unsettling. Tempest Shadow noticed that, her head shifting back to the clouds to see a dangerous whirlpool of energy hanging over the fleet. Hanging over Ghidorah. Her eyes slowly narrowed, the wind tearing at her mane.
Bolts of lightning shot down, missing every airship shockingly and striking only the back of the three-headed dragon. It didn’t stop. Soon, all of the fleets were drawn to the sight of the golden lightning falling from the heart of the hurricane and electrifying Ghidorah. No one could explain it. No one in the air or on the ground. Even Godzilla seemed bewildered, but his eyes widened soon enough.
It still wasn’t enough time.
No one could have prepared against it, fought against it, or survived.
When King Ghidorah rose again, with every last vestige of lightning falling from the heavens and fueling his body, he released it. He gave it all back. In a tremendous, horrifying display of power, Ghidorah shot out his wings and gave a roar that could tear apart the strongest spirit. His roar was followed by the bolts of golden and purple lightning shooting from the tips of his wings and colliding with the skies, with the Crystal Empire, and every life that surrounded him.
His gravity beam attack defied every rhyme or reason of the natural world, yet he was not of it. It was fueled by the chaotic forces he devoured from Discord, amplified by his own alien power. Unleashed upon the mortal plain. His gravity beam attack tore apart the skies and ripped the sound barrier asunder.
His chaos beam attack was felt by every last beating heart within the Crystal Empire.
Titans that had broken from their chains and had risen again were struck down by those same beams—even the Titans that followed Ghidorah. Streets were ripped apart by those beams tearing through them, mutilating any T.I.T.A.N. force caught under the blinding light. Tanks were flipped like they weighed nothing, burned to ash like they were paper. Ponies and griffons and dragons all burned the same. They all burned together.
Dozens of ships were blown out of the sky by the serpent’s lightning. The beams cascaded across the clouds in web-like formations, eviscerating anything caught within it. Even the Radiance was struck, torrents of electricity filling the bridge and ponies inside screaming, flailing, and holding on for dear life as their ship teetered out of control. The lead airship held on, however; the fleets around it did not. So many fell in crumbling ruin, as flames consumed their hulls and their bodies descended to the earth. Almost the entire fleet was gone in one single attack.
Godzilla felt it, too.
The chaos beams struck him relentlessly, pushing him back until nearly his entire body was consumed in it. He roared. He cried. He screamed as the lightning consumed him. And then, his body couldn’t take it anymore, and he fell, crumbling with the buildings that he crashed against in a smoldering display of dust and ruin.
Stillness infected the battlefield and no one was safe any longer. King Ghidorah lowered his heads and hissed with sickening satisfaction at the terrible deed. Burning airships rained around him, meshing with the snow and painting the air in a mix of blood red and ghostly white. From those fires, Ghidorah truly appeared like a devil standing in his hell.
Shining Armor had no other choice but to retreat. The Radiance had sustained too much damage, and the royal fleets fared no better. They evacuated the area while barely maintaining flight, leaving nothing but T.I.T.A.N.’s burning destruction standing in Ghidorah’s way to his grand prize.
He slithered to his prize like three serpents upon the surface of the earth, hissing and flicking their forked tongues in growling hunger. Crawling over the remains of T.I.T.A.N.’s decimated armies, King Ghidorah finally arrived to his prize, standing before the remains of the fallen Godzilla. He hovered over his motionless body with sickening intent, with Ichi, Ni, and San growing all the closer. And Godzilla still wouldn’t rise. He still wouldn’t move to defend himself.
He just couldn’t control his breathing, his body overheating as something far too powerful for him to control any longer was finally ready to awaken.
Rising from the destruction, Bon Bon pushed over the burned sheet of metal from a destroyed tank that had fallen over her, that she had used to protect herself and Lyra. Daring Do flew in with Spike safely under her foreleg, the two having taken cover mere seconds before Ghidorah’s beam sliced through the road they were in.
All four stood in the midst of all they had lost. They held well, and they held strong, but even they felt the gravity of the situation plummet when they saw Ghidorah moving in for the killing blow. Godzilla was wounded, lying on his side and unable to do anything to defend himself. Bon Bon’s aghast expression was lifted high, was turned around when she heard the flapping of wings behind her.
And behind her, Princess Twilight Sparkle landed roughly on the same mountain of destruction Bon Bon stood on. She was trailed by the rest of the Council, each of them arriving via flight, teleportation, or however Pinkie arrived faster than the blink of an eye. All six of them approached the four, Twilight meeting Bon Bon’s eyes before being forced to face the Titans.
Together, all ten stood as one and faced the heart of the storm. United as the only ones left standing to do what was absolutely necessary for the future of their world.
Bon Bon made that clear when she said, “We can’t let Ghidorah win…”
Twilight earned her eyes, holding as much strength and steadfastness in her own to say, “Tell us what needs to be done.”
She did. Even when she didn’t want to—meeting the eyes of her wife and fearing for her safety—she did it anyway. She had no choice. None of them did any longer.
And just before Ghidorah could sink his teeth into Godzilla’s throat, they struck.
Twilight, Rainbow, Daring Do, Fluttershy, and Spike attacked from the air. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Lyra, and Bon Bon attacked from the ground. They swarmed Ghidorah with magical blasts and ferocious strikes and punches and kicks. The attacks from the Pegasi and Earth ponies ultimately meant nothing to the dragon. The magic from the Alicorn, the unicorn blasts from Rarity and Lyra on opposite sides of the street, the fires exploding from Spike’s mouth that hit Ghidorah’s eyes, those meant something.
It meant Ghidorah’s attention shifted to them.
He abandoned his defeated foe momentarily to deal with the last rebellious lifeforms of this planet. Lifting his heads high, Ghidorah cackled and snapped his teeth at the numerous ponies flying around him. They only retaliated by flying faster, Rainbow and Daring Do blurring their images around Ghidorah’s vision and sending swift punches and bucks into his eyes.
Monster Zero stomped furiously across the Empire, hoping by some slim chance he would crush the insects surrounding his feet. Instead, they were too swift, galloping further off from his trail of destruction. Lyra and Rarity kept up the magic down below, their beams slicing across Ghidorah’s scales but causing no damage whatsoever. Bon Bon stayed close to Lyra, never losing sight of her, always watching to see where Ghidorah would step next.
A magical blast from Twilight directly into Ichi’s forehead earned a shrill cry from the center head, an angered shriek that signified the king had had enough of their insolence. With a dominant flap of his wings, Ghidorah rose from the earth and began to hover and meet the Pegasi in their flight. Then, he flew higher. To their shock, he was flying over their heads, his shadow encompassing the entire world.
Then, he breathed in and fired his gravity beams upon them.
A furious display was rained from above, and all ten of them felt the wrath of the tyrant king. Those in the air practically wilted, flying back and forth in a rapid, fumbled mess to try and escape the beams while simultaneously surviving them. Fluttershy screamed, a gravity beam narrowly missing her as Rainbow Dash swooped down and tackled her out of the way. The two dropped like rocks to the awaiting earth. Twilight went for Spike, scooping the dragon in her forelegs and doing her damnedest to make it out alive. Daring Do followed them, her wild eyes peering back at the chaos falling down.
The power of gravity and chaos were unleashed, the golden and purple beams hitting the world and tearing it to shreds. Whatever was left of the Crystal Empire—whatever was left standing—was assuredly destroyed in a wave of fury from the multicolored bolts washing over practically everything. Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie galloped and dodged and zigzagged back and forth across the street, dodging falling debris and gravity beams slicing the road apart all around them. Bon Bon and Lyra Heartstrings did the same, weaving between houses as Ghidorah’s wrath fell upon them. The entire time, Bon Bon never let go of Lyra. The entire time, her eyes moved from the street and back to the sky to see that haunting shadow of the dragon flying after them.
It wasn’t long before the flyers fell. When Rainbow Dash hit the street, crashed and rolled with Fluttershy in tow.
When Twilight Sparkle was singed in the wing by a stray gravity beam and thus released Spike from her clutches to spare him, the two of them crashing in the road.
When Daring Do landed harshly but still landed on her hooves, only to have the ground beneath her blown apart by Ghidorah’s lightning.
Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie shared the same fate.
Lyra and Bon were caught in that twisted fate all the same.
King Ghidorah breathed his gravity beams onto the road until he completely obliterated it.
Only dust remained on the surface. Beneath it, a different, far more unnerving scene was laid. Lying in the shattered road that was burned to a crisp by the power of extraterrestrial fury, all ten heroes remained scattered. Unmoving. Uncertain themselves if they were even alive or dead. Black ashes fell around their bodies, their eyelids closed lightly over their expressionless faces.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy laid the closest, with neither mare fully awake but slowly coming to. Daring Do gently reached for her hat, her hoof moving over the fragmented crystals, before she finally reached her target. If only she had the strength to put it back on. Applejack shakily tried to stand, falling again and again with Rarity and Pinkie Pie all but losing consciousness. Spike crawled over to Twilight, shaking the Alicorn awake. Tried so desperately to. Her weak mumbles were an indication of life, of survival, and Spike gasped and clutched onto her.
Just as Bon Bon clutched onto Lyra.
She was bleeding, a terrible gash across her forehead that just narrowly missed her eye. It was bleeding bad, and all Bon Bon could do was hold her, press her hoof against the wound, and whisper her wife’s name again and again. There was a response, a sign she had lived, and Bon Bon breathed a breath of relief, felt burning tears in her eyes. She saw Lyra’s eyes move beneath her eyelids, a gentle moan leaving the unicorn’s lips, but that was it.
It was all her fault. Bon Bon came to realize and accept that. She let Lyra put herself in all of this, face these monsters without any training or preparation whatsoever. And this was the price. This was the worst possible scenario. She looked around, saw those who had followed her into the fire. Everything she loved, everyone who meant something to her, everyone around her… all of it burned to the grave because of her failures.
And now she faced the greatest offense to that… her own wife… Lyra…
The earth trembled and Bon Bon lifted her head to see why.
Landing on the earth, King Ghidorah washed away the dust cloud that tried to conceal them from his wicked gaze. He bent low, so low in fact that his chins nearly touched the gravel on the road. He grew so close to the insignificant sight of the ten lives before him that he could smell the blood dripping from their coats. He could practically taste it on his tongues, Ni growling softly while San licked his fangs. Ichi glared ahead, down to the only pony standing and growled at her.
Bon Bon glared right on back at the center head, still holding Lyra in her hooves, refusing to back away or abandon her friends to the fate of this wretched Devil. She could feel the heat on his breath, see the evil in his eyes as soon as all six glared only at her. Death was the only escape now. Ghidorah had them trapped and there was nothing more they could’ve done to stop him. They tried their best, but it wasn’t enough. They trusted Bon Bon, but it wasn’t enough. Now it was just her to face down the Demon, face him down with nothing but her glare and her ever-resilient self.
And that was enough for Bon Bon, enough for her to let Ghidorah know that he would never have her subjugated. Ghidorah didn’t care for that. Not anymore. All he desired was death. Ichi opened his jaws and growled softly to the mare he was ready to consume. She and all who followed her.
Just then… something happened.
Something changed.
Her eyes flicked beyond the heads, beyond Ghidorah. Just for a second… and then she did something she never imagined she would. She did something that confused even Ghidorah.
She smiled.
She smirked…
“Long live… the king…”
… to his arrival.
That confusion infecting Ichi quickly transformed, the center head sniffing madly and tilting his head back. He hissed at the familiar stench. He growled at the familiar tremors of the earth.
Everything else familiar about him had taken a stark, horrifying change.
Crystal houses and towers and buildings somehow still standing all came crumbling down. But not in a collapsing pile of rubble. Oh, no… they were melted. The sheer heat radiating from his body turned every last structure into molten rock. His arms swayed forward, each limb coated in bright white veins, his body consumed in those veins. In those flames.
His gargantuan foot rose upon the earth and then crushed it, melting the entirety of the street into a pool of liquid rock. The power broiling inside of him consumed every inch of his body, pulsating and humming with untamed fury as he grew closer and closer. As the intensity of the heat only increased, and never died down. Until all the buildings melted and left nothing to hide him any longer.
And Godzilla made his fury known by roaring into Ghidorah’s storm.
His head was fully consumed in the white and rainbow flames, his eyes on fire and the veins devouring every last vestige of his form. It was if he was given one last breath of life, with the power exploding inside of him finally being set free. King Ghidorah hastily turned to face him, echoing a cackle of cries that didn’t even make Godzilla flinch.
Instead, he dipped his head and let that power flow free. The white lightning danced up and down his dorsal plates, the rainbow veins across his spine rapidly changing colors as the pulses in the air gradually increased in sound. In strength. In power of the Elements of Harmony.
Twilight recognized that power, lifting her horn in one last act to save her friends. Her magic ignited, and in a flash, they were all safely teleported away.
Just as Godzilla erupted.
The first pulse knocked the wind out of Ghidorah, a harmonic blast of raw heat and radiation and something even more powerful washing across several hundred yards of the Crystal Empire. Buildings and crystals were vaporized in the blast, a wall of pure whiteness shrouded in rainbows consuming everything in Godzilla’s path.
Especially King Ghidorah.
He raised his wings to shield himself, but that did nothing. The harmonic pulse vaporized Ghidorah’s wings, leaving burning stumps with white flames devouring the bones that remained. The Devil cried out, faltering and losing his balance. He fell onto his back, all three heads shrieking in what could have been identified as panic—perhaps even fear—before they unloaded a trio of gravity and chaos beams onto Godzilla’s chest.
It did nothing. Godzilla was unfazed. The chaos could never overcome the harmony. He growled with unbridled hatred and never tore his flaming glare from his enemy. His body powered up once more as Ghidorah kept up the fire, doing everything in his power to stop Godzilla by any means necessary. Even that was taken from him when Godzilla released his second pulse, the rainbows washing over Ghidorah and taking two more things from him.
Ni cried out as the heat turned his skin into melted flesh and bone, as his blood was vaporized and he disappeared into the air.
San shared the same fate, screaming at the intensity of the blast as his eyes were the first to be vaporized. He was blinded by the explosion, his throat torn from him as his skin, flesh, bones, and blood were washed away in a singular wave of fire and fury.
Ichi ducked his neck and survived, but only for so long. He twisted back and roared in defiance, never surrendering. Never giving in. Never dying!
Godzilla roared back, and in his own showing of defiance, he reared forward and grabbed the jaws of the center head. Ichi struggled and writhed, screaming as Godzilla’s claws grasped his top and bottom jaw. Ghidorah still wouldn’t relent. He finally did when Godzilla lifted his foot and drove it down into his chest. He opened his mouth to cry, but the second he did…
Godzilla opened his own jaws.
Separated Ghidorah’s mouth.
And fired an astonishing harmonic breath down Ghidorah’s throat.
The white flames flowed down the towering neck of the beast, the rainbow rings circling them until they reached Ghidorah’s mouth. Still, the power would not cease. The pulses would not stop. Godzilla’s back electrified until it was consumed. King Ghidorah’s eyes were set aflame by that purifying white blaze. And in a third and final harmonic pulse, the blast shrouded Godzilla and Ghidorah in a ball of pure, blinding whiteness.
The blast was seen throughout all the Crystal Empire. Throughout all the Frozen North. Whatever survived had blocked their eyes and took the appropriate cover to save themselves from the fury. Those that could escape did so. Those that couldn’t shielded themselves. An eruption tore apart the earth and vaporized everything for several hundred yards. Absolutely everything.
And it kept spreading… and spreading… finally dying down…
The white faded away and the storm had died.
AWESOME 🤩🤩😎
Aw, crud.
EAT HARMONY, YOU BASTARD!
DAMN that art is LEGENDARY !
This whole segment, of which I only quoted parts of, really puts into perspective the sheer scale of their fight. This isn't and wasn't just two people fighting over an artificial place, this isn't petty rivalry.
No, those two are Alpha Titans, they shake the Earth itself with every single one of their steps, create storms with every single one of their breaths and make every other force in the world bow down to them simply by willing it.
So when they clash together, they can do nothing but bring forth apocalypse and that's exactly what they did in the Crystal Empire, which now only lays as a broken shell of its former self.
Once again loving the bits of personality given to the Kaiju. Even with his millions of years of experience, Gojira has never been affected by such things so of course he'll be warry of his condition.
But of course, being the utter badass he is, he ignores it and powers through. Seeing King Ghidorah recognize his power almost makes me think that, in some kind of alternate reality, the two could have become allies in some way or another. But of course this would be impossible as Ghidorah and Godzilla are bound to be rivals, no matter which side stands for good and which side stands for bad. And so they fight.
T.I.T.A.N.'s forces once again proving that while they're not the main power of the conflict, they definitely have a part to play in it and won't just stand there letting themselves get killed.
Everyone knew it would happen, however no one could have prepared for how brutal it was. I have to admit that I was fully expecting this to be the first of the two images of the chapter. However what we got is arguably just as good but more on that later.
Either way this entire description of Ghidorah's Chaos Beams perfectly describe just how brutally destructive it is, which makes perfect sense as this here wasn't just a Monster Zero powered up by a city grid but by the magic of the embodiment of Chaos himself.
Proving once again that the Kaiju in this story are much, much stronger than their canon counterparts, which makes them even more terrifying given how strong the MV Kaiju are already.
Slight fault here I think. "By those some beams" should probably "By those same beams".
This here shows once again that Ghidorah's "pulse" in this story is much stronger than the movie one, yet again putting into perspective how violent it is given that we have seen just how much damage Ghidorah did in the movie with it.
I'll say that I was fully expecting Mothra to finally make her stand and die here. However what we got is infinitely better, giving the Pony protagonists one final shine before giving Gojira the rest of the spotlight, absolutely amazing choice to make it that way. And of course bonus points for keeping Mothra alive in the end.
Protagonists showing once and for all that size isn't the main factor but how you use it, answering the age-old question.
However, no amount of skill can make up for overwhelming strength sadly.
Jokes aside, I really appreciate how Ghidorah's Chaos Beams and Gravity Beams here in this chapter were described with much more precision along with their consequences, shows just how destructive he was with Chaos energy absorbed.
Bon Bon making one final move to prove she's the definite Pony MVP of this story by straight up just defying a boosted and full power King Ghidorah, showing that she's not only over her past demons but she's completely conquered them. She truly had an amazing character arc over this story. From being terrified at just the remembrance of her first Kaiju encounter to staring at what could be compared to Death itself in the eyes and smiling, she's truly come a long way. Great character writing here.
And thus, I shall never know if "Thermomagical" ended up being the official name for it. But it's fine as what we got makes up for it a thousand times over. That entrance was top tier.
It's also very interesting to see how Godzilla here didn't need Mothra's help to "catalyze" his energy, unlike in the movie where she's what helped him control it to go Thermonuclear.
But it makes complete sense as Harmony energy would of course be much more stable, even at much higher doses like here, than raw nuclear power so it wouldn't need a "catalyst" like Mothra. And this makes double sense as Mothra isn't related in any direct way to Harmony energy so even if she had sacrificed herself, it most likely wouldn't have helped Godzilla "catalyze" it. I don't know if all of this was intentional but either way it was a pretty smart choice.
Godzilla has no fucks left to give, and he's showing that here. Godzilla will not mess around with taunts or the like and Ghidorah will die. Villains should take example on Godzilla.
Seeing that line here is a nice thing as, if memory serves right, we have no idea of what happens to the lady (completely forgot her name) which means she quite likely got vaporized. So having this line here clearly states that there's a reason why they survived instead of "Somehow, they survived Godzilla's pulses."
Ok so first of all I'll say right now that I'll have a lot to say about that art piece, but that's for the end of the comment as always.
As for the scene itself well I love it. It's a perfect recreation of the movie's scene along with slight touches such as that last sentence to fit in this scenario and this is something that I really like about those stories of yours as I've said before, they're unique without straying too far from the original material that they become alienating.
Well, you gotta hand it to him for not just giving up after seeing his two other selves get literally evaporated and his most powerful attack just ignored. Credit where it is due, even if it's for a 160m tall evil alien hydra.
Imagine this movie bit, but a thousand times cooler.
This should give you a rough estimate at how great that scene is. The combination of Godzilla's usual kill (seriously, MV Kaiju have a weird thing with killing their enemies by inserting something in their mouths: Femuto with Godzilla's Atomic Breath, Ramarak with Kong's fist, Ghidorah used as a cigar and Ghidorah as Mechagodzilla trying to get revenge on Godzilla) along with the magnificent finisher we got in the movie make for a perfect combo kill that looks amazing to read. Great writing job here.
And so it's over. Harmony has officially triumphed over chaos and the Lizard has triumphed over the Lizard³.
Boy was that a complete chapter. The last few chapters, this one included, really all were massive rides and all total blasts to read. This is a magnificent conclusion to the fight, perfectly executed.
I've got nothing else to say aside from the fact that this is by far the best Monsterverse fanfiction I've ever read (not to discredit others that I've read, but this one is simply better). I know it's technically not over, but I can still say that now with confidence.
As for the art comment, well what can I say ? That first piece with Ghidorah towering over all the ponies with Bon Bon clutching Lyra in her arms and starting right back at Monster Zero is great.
But that second art piece is a damn painting with how good it is. The gradients, the colors in general, the drawing itself, EVERYTHING about it is a masterpiece and GOSH is it beautiful. The way Gojira is glowing all colors of the rainbow and fuming white smoke while the ground and buildings are melting around him is top tier.
This piece doesn't feel like just an art piece made for a story, but a standalone picture made with all the passion in the world for the characters and the setup of it. I've said multiple times over the course of the story that "X picture might be the best out of all others" but without any doubt, this one takes the cake and then some more. This is probably the first time for me that, even with just how great the story itself is, the art for it takes the spotlight over it. And that's saying something considering how amazing the story's writer is.
Absolutely legendary job with this, Shrekzilla.
PS: Congrats on once again being featured !
Shouldn't that itself push/knock away,down everyone away and some on their backs?
Even one flap of giant wings like that would be enough
Goosebumps…. Pure and simple goosebumps…
WOW, just WOW, so EPIC XD
Godzilla wins: Fatality!
Hey where’s the artwork?
Poor BonBon.
Somepony has to say it...
Friendship!Godzilla is best Godzilla!
Wow, great job, and now Ghidorah has been vaporize and now Godzilla got his king status back thanks to the elements and his friends and the good have won the day and won the war, the titans war is finally over, and now I’m interested in what happens next, because after seeing that the war has been won, awesome job, keep up the great work
I don't know why but Kevin looks adorable in that first picture.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT the Thermomagical Pulses comboed with the Infamous Kiss of Death?! That is definitely the best way to end this war for good!
It’s taken so much blood and sweat to get here but at long last the True King of Monsters is victorious, now comes the aftermath
Behold, the One True King
Awesome chapter!
Long live the true king!
11121916 Indeed.
11121976 He was force-fed harmony.
11121989 Fixed that little typo. Thanks! And yeah haha glad you enjoyed Bon Bon's character arc throughout this story. Definitely had her as more of the main character this time around if that makes sense, despite having the Mane 6 and such. I'm sure Shrek will really appreciate the love his art has been getting for this story, so thanks for that!
11122005 Yeah, but they could just as easily recover.
11122014 Thank ya
11122048 Thanks!
11122213 It should be there. Did they not show up for you?
11122269 Harmony Godzilla is purely breathtaking.
11122291 Thanks! Time to see the aftermath of the war...
11122539 Like a stupid cat sticking out his tongue.
11122584 Thought a mix of Godzilla 2014 and KOTM finishers would be the best way to do it. Best of both worlds.
11122609 Perfect soundtrack to go with this chapter.
11122628 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the final battle!
11123154
Nope
11123280 Weird. They’re in the chapter itself, but you can always check them out on Shrekzilla’s deviantart
Thus, the demon was slain, destroyed by his vanity and lust for power. The God rises against his devil and cast him into the fires whence he came.
The devil in a final act of defiance, reveals to his foe his last card. To him, he revealed that death has claimed him before, but he always comes back, always has, always will.
The demon cackled madly as the God snuffed his light out, he and his followers haunted by the devil’s promise that he will return from the grave, stronger than ever.
For like darkness, he will never, truly die, until the end of time…

The next chapter will have three illustrations
They are very big and it will take lots of time
…I have all these thoughts and phrases and things floating about in my head regarding this chapter. The biggest one that won’t shut up?
Is there anything left of the Crystal Empire at this point?
11123828 Sure! Ashes and radiation!

Godzilla when he destroyed Sombra: Good Job Sombra, you made me use 10% of my power!
11123941
Ah…so…yes and no. Yes, there is something left. No, there’s nothing usable left…
Yep. Sounds about right for a venue’s aftermath of a Big G fight.

Yes he’ll be back as Godzilla’s second greatest arch-nemesis!
11123333
Wait now I see the images, they were in the chapter itself. I was looking for them in Authors Note where they usually are.
11125769
Usually when there are more than one illustration, they are added in the chapter itself instead in Author’s Notes.
LONG LIVE.... THE KING!!!
Where is King Caesar, Gamera, Camazotz, Battra, Baragon, Salunga, Manda, Kumonga and Anguirus?
What do you think of these titans?

11127942 Not canon in the Monsterverse, or I didn't want to use them. Besides, already have enough Titans to work with.
Ghidorah storm has been quelled, but unfortunately you can’t keep the 3 headed devil down for good.

The Ultimate Destroyer comeths.

Reasons behind which Titans appear in the story
Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan: Main Titans.
MUTO Prime/King Sombra: the plot demands it
Kong: Foreshadowing and nostalgia
Scylla, Queen MUTO, Methuselah and Behemoth: were in the movie.
Every other Titan: was not in the movie
If the monster verse continues, would love to see Kong and Mothra interact. Maybe in the new tv show.
11128892
Oh, it will continue
Suggestions for sequels of the one true king
1- this Pony-Godzilla planet also have Spyro and Kung Fu Panda
2- the hollow-earth of this planet also have the animals of Monster Hunter and How To Train Your Dragon
3- because of Quintesson or Unicron the Ponies meets the Transformers again
4- Equus Titans vs Omega-Supreme, Combiners and Cybertron Titans
5- the Autobots helps T.I.T.A.N build giant robots including a Jet Jaguar with beast form https://www.instagram.com/p/CWFkmCcBk89/?utm_medium=copy_link
6- Mothra asks King Caesar for help
7- Monsterverse Godzilla is the son of Godzilla Earth, but his father don't show up before because he can't leave the radiation source of the hollow-earth unprotected
8- Monsterverse Ghidorah is one of the children of Void Ghidorah
9-https://images.app.goo.gl/omARhxEQULFbbNzb8 the real Grogar forms an alliance with Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, Sombra, Quintesson, Malefor, Gnasty Gnorc, White Bone Demon and Ke-Pa to dominate the universe
10- while exploring the hollow-earth, the Mane Six decide to help an injured Toothless and give him a prosthetic tail-fin
11- Fluttershy finds an orphaned egg of godzilla in the hollow-earth and names him Minilla
12- Kong becomes a thunder god
13- T.I.T.A.N or someone else use oxygen destroyer to defeat a sea titan but unfortunately this creates Destoroyah https://youtu.be/uhdLaLIWqK8
14- Unicron vs Void Ghidorah
15- Godzilla Earth vs Unicron
16- the alliance of villains uses science and dark magic to make Mechagodzilla, Mechani-Kong, Gigan, Megalon, Biollante, Hedorah and Space-Godzilla
17- Kong finds others of his species in the hollow-earth
18- Spike and Grimlock vs Rathalos
19- Malefor uses his dark magic to corrupt Spyro into Dark Spyro and orders him to spy on the good guys disguised with purple ink, the good guys eventually discover it and try to cure him but this makes two spyros the original one and the dark one
11129743 I already have plans for a sequel.
11129838
It should just be Godzilla Vs. Kong
11129838
But you can use my suggestions for another one if you want
11129838
Do you have plans for a prequel about shining armor and cadance in skull island? And pony jia in the sequel?
11130270
It’s unknown if there is going to be a prequel.
JDPrime is planning to be only a Godzilla trilogy.
After the Godzilla vs Kong crossover, there will be a third story after that.
11130289
I hope he does consider doing Kong Skull Island.
