Ice Dragon Slayer/Chapter 25: Kaiju Reunion

Magnolia Town, outside the Fairy Tail Guild Hall:
Godzilla was silent. Silent because his best friend was alive and standing right in front of him, protecting him from the army of Dark Unicorn and Naked Mummy wizards that were standing before them, frozen in shock. He noticed the Fairy Tail wizards were also shocked as they stared at the spike-shelled beast in front of them. Anguirus wasn't looking at them, however, his attention was on the Dark Guilds in front of him.
The Fairy Tail wizards came to Godzilla's side, Natsu and Lucy helped him to his feet, but couldn't take their eyes off the new creature.
"Wha-What is that?!" Gray practically screamed.
"It looks so manly!" Elfman said in shock.
"Is it an enemy?" Juvia asked in concern.
"Relax humans." Godzilla said in a calm tone. "There's no need to worry. He's one of my allies from my world. His name is Anguirus."
Meanwhile, Zato grabbed the Dark Unicorn leader by the collar and shook him. "What the hell, dude?! You never told us there were two of those things!"
"I didn't know there were two of them, honest! I thought there was only one!" he replied though his shakes.
Anguirus looked back at Godzilla and smiled. "Just couldn't stay out of trouble, could you Goji?"
Godzilla smiled back. "You know me, trouble always seems to find me. It's good to see you old friend."
"Right back at you Godzilla." Anguirus replied.
"Any sign of the others?" the King of the Monsters asked.
Anguirus shook his head. "No, I was separated from them when we fell." He then turned his attention back to the Dark Mages. "Alright! I'm gonna say this once and only once, so you better listen! Either you turn around and walk away now, or stay and pay the price for harming my comrade! It's your choice!"
However, the dark wizards started laughing. "Yeah right! Like were gonna take advice from a giant armadillo!" Zato shouted through his laughter.
"Yeah! Why don't you curl up and roll on out of here?!" Gato laughed.
Anguirus suddenly got stiff, his body slightly trembling and his left eye started twitching. The Fairy Tail wizards saw this and didn't know what would happen next, but Godzilla did.
"Well...their dead." he said flatly.
"I'M AN ANKYLOSAUR YOU SIMPLETONS!" Anguirus roared.
----Godzilla: Final Wars OST: Ready to Rumble...
----Anguirus charged at the wizards, forcing the wizards to stop laughing. The Naked Mummy wizards pulled out their magic guns and started firing, but the mutated ankylosaur was already a step ahead. He did a quick front flip and rolled himself up into a spike ball, causing the magic bullets to bounce off of his shell. He then plowed right through the helpless humans like bowling pins, only a few managed to avoid the head-on assault from the angry Kaiju. He then made a sharp U-turn and attacked the remaining dark mages, delivering a series of bites, tail swipes and mule kicks upon them.
Fairy Tail couldn't help but find themselves impressed by how the smaller Kaiju was handling himself, especially Erza.
"Has he always been this strong spirited?" Erza asked Godzilla.
"Trust me, he may not be the biggest or the strongest, but he has the most heart." Godzilla replied. He then turned to the other Fairy Tail wizards. "Well? Should we lend him a hand?" The others shouted in approval and rushed towards the battle once again.
Godzilla joined his old friend in combat with several Dark Unicorn members who had managed to sneak past some of the Fairy Tail mages. Anguirus kicked several away before they could get a hit in, while Godzilla delivered his Atomic Breath attack to several others, not killing them, but they were definitely singed. They then saw more dark mages coming their way and Godzilla got an idea.
As several Dark Unicorn mages got closer with their swords in hand, Godzilla got an idea and turned to his comrade. "Anguirus, remember the one battle in Siberia two years ago?"
"You mean that time we fought those robots and that cyborg King Ghidorah?" he asked.
Godzilla nodded. "Remember that move we used?"
As soon as he processed that question, Anguirus blinked. "You sure that won't accidentally kill them?"
"I wouldn't worry about that." Godzilla replied. "I've found these humans are more resilient than the ones back home."
Anguirus smirked. "Then lets do it."
The spike-shelled Kaiju then lifted his tail to allow Godzilla to grab onto it in his hands. As soon as he got a firm hold, he then proceeded to swing him towards the Dark Unicorn thugs, Anguirus' spike-covered carapace hitting them with enough force that it wasn't lethal, but would definitely leave some scars.
"BATTER UP!" the two Kaiju declared in unison before Godzilla released his friend and they both went back to fighting off the Dark Guild goons.
Erza had just slashed away an enemy with her sword when she saw Anguirus grab a Dark Unicorn mage by the back of his shirt and tossing him into several of his allies. She looked impressed. "Your not too shabby."
"You definitely have some skill yourself." Anguirus replied before he noticed a Dark Unicorn member charging towards the red-head with a massive club in hand. "Duck!"
Without even looking, Erza heeded the Ankylosaur's warning and ducked her head out of the path of the swinging club before it could hit her. Seeing that the Dark Mage that tried to attack her was stunned over the fact that he had missed, Erza seized the opportunity as her body began to glow.
"Requip - Purgatory Armor!"
Having now dawned her black-spiked Purgatory Armor, Erza swung her massive spiked mace and struck the offending goon that had tried to sneak attack her, sending him flying into several of his fellow Dark Mages and knocking them to the ground. With that done, the red-haired Requip Mage turned back towards Anguirus and smiled as she nodded towards him in thanks, to which he smiled back at her.
Just then, the spike-shelled Kaiju heard what sounded like guns cocking and reloading from behind him. Realizing what it was, Anguirus crouched down before launching himself backwards into a group of Naked Mummy goons that had tried to shoot at him with their Magic Guns, slamming into them and taking them out with his spiked carapace.
As the battle continued, the forces of good realized they were still being overwhelmed. While they had the advantage when it came to strength, the Dark Guilds had numbers on their side.
"We're not getting anywhere with this!" Gajeel complained as he used his iron clubbed hand to punch a Dark Unicorn soldier in the face. "They just keep coming!"
Cana threw several of her Magic Cards towards another group that exploded and sent them flying. "He's right! We're gonna get overrun!"
Gato was laughing. "Hahaha! Look at 'em Zato! Their completely helpless!"
Zato laughed as well. "Yeah, I see it! Once we finally take out Fairy Tail, we'll work our way up the Balam Alliance and rule this-!"
"INCOMING!"
Suddenly, a voice followed by a loud boom was heard as something large crashed into the middle of the street, kicking up a large amount of dust. Everyone present stopped and turned to look at the small crater in the middle of the street, the source still obscured by the dust. Then, the noticed a figure begin to emerge out of the dust as it began dusting itself off.
"Gah! Darn it! That freakin' updraft came outta nowhere! Stupid shrunk down body!" It then looked at the large group around him, slightly confused. "Huh? What's with all the people? And what's with the weird get ups? Did Halloween come early or something?"
Godzilla and Anguirus' eyes went wide. "RODAN?!"
Rodan turned to them and let off a smile and started waving with his wings in a goofy manner. "Yo Chief! Anguirus! About freakin' time I found you guys! Where the heck have ya been?! And what the Daiei is with all these humans?"
"Whoa! Another one!" Bickslow exclaimed.
"Yeah. Is it a reptilian bird?" Levy added.
"Kinda looks like a small Wyvern." Lisanna said as she observed the newcomer with the others.
"It's a long story." Godzilla replied to Rodan. "I'll explain later, but we could use your help against these hooligans here. Care to lend a wing?"
Rodan gave a goofy salute with his wing. "Aye aye Chief! Leave it all to me!"
----Metal Gear Solid OST: Hot Wind Blowing...
----The enemy mages stared in both awe and confusion. "Whoa! What is that?"
"Looks like a bird, but without feathers!"
"Who cares what it is! Just shoot it down!"
The Naked Mummy mages raised their guns towards him, but Rodan never gave them the chance. "Oh no you don't! Say hello to wind power!"
With that said he instantly took to the sky before he gave a large flap of his wings.
"Sonic Gust!" A massive gust of wind shot out of his wing tips and instantly knocked them off their feet and blew them all away. Those who managed to avoid the attack were stunned.
"What the heck?! Did that thing just use Wind Magic?!"
"I don't know, but it looked like it!"
Rodan cocked an eye. "Magic? I don't use Magic. I just use good old fashion biology!" He then gave another flap of his wings
"Sonic Wing Beat!" This time a small shock wave shot out of the tips and struck another large group of dark mages while also cracking the street from the force. He then took a deep breath through his beak before releasing a small twister from his mouth. "Hurricane Roar!" The blast of wind sent several more Dark Unicorn and Naked Mummy mages flying into walls or through windows.
The Fairy Tail mages were in shock at how the mutated pterosaur had easily disposed of the dark mages. However, none of them where as shocked as a certain blue haired Dragon Slayer. Wendy was in awe at the amazing display of power Rodan was giving and at how similar it was to her own Magic. She was completely blown away by it, pun not intended.
Zato was growing impatiently. "This ain't cutting it! Let's clip this freaks wings!"
The other Naked Mummy mages roared in approval and prepared their Magic Guns to shoot him down. Then suddenly, a large orb of reddish pink energy appeared out of nowhere and struck the grunts, causing them to scream in pain.
Gato whipped his head around to find the source of the attack. "What now?!"
"You know, it isn't wise to attack a Kaiju with such crude weapons like those."
Everyone looked up and saw another creature standing atop one of the buildings nearby. It resembled a humanoid cross between a lion and a dog with light brown fur, large ears, and brown eyes that gave off a faint red hue. The creature jumped down and landed in the middle of the street, surprising the surrounding the mages.
Several Red Hood members quickly took action and used their Pict Magic to summon two large Forest Vulcans. As they quickly charge at the lion-like creature, the newcomer glanced at them before suddenly jumping up and delivering a roundhouse kick to the first Vulcan, sending it crashing into the Red Hood mages. The summoned creature disappeared into thin air upon being defeated while the Red Hood members were instantly knocked out cold.
Freed stared at the display with surprise. "Another one?"
"And who is this one?" Evergreen asked.
"He's another friend of ours." Anguirus replied. "His name is King Caesar."
Cana raised an eyebrow at him. "Wait, did you say 'King'?"
"It's just a title." the Ankylosaur informed. "He's not an actual king."
King Caesar turned his attention to the second Vulcan and struck it with a powerful uppercut to the stomach, sending it flying straight into the air before it too disappeared. With both threats quickly dealt with, the Guardian of Okinawa walked up to Godzilla and smiled.
"Godzilla, it's good to see you're still in one piece." he said as he held out his paw.
Godzilla smiled back and shook his paw. "Not as glad as I am to see you, Caesar."
King Caesar turned to look at the Fairy Tail mages. "And who are these humans?"
"I'll explain later, but we could use your help in repelling this attack." Godzilla informed.
"Consider it done." King Caesar replied. "But I think we could use some more help, wouldn't you agree?"
Then, right on queue, a blast of white silk suddenly shot out of an alley and rained down onto the Dark Mages, making them scream in surprise. "What the hell is going on?!"
"What is this stuff?! Silk?!"
"Augh! I can't get it off! It's too sticky!"
The Dark Guild goons then heard a loud chirp and looked towards the dark alley where the attack had come from and saw two pairs of glowing blue dots pierce the darkness. Then, what they saw come out were two completely identical creatures that looked like caterpillars. Both were brown in color with a small tusk on each side of their faces and their mandibles seemed to open sideways. They both had long, segmented bodies and a small spike sticking out of the end of their tails, their eyes were like craters with small blue eyes inside of them.
Everyone was also shocked to see what looked like two small, identical women dressed in identical orange dresses sitting atop one of the caterpillars heads, both of them glaring at the Dark Mages before turning to the King of Monsters.
"Godzilla, we are here to help as well!" they spoke in perfect unison.
Godzilla smiled at them. "Glad to have the assistance."
"Who are they? More friends?" Lisanna asked.
Anguirus nodded. "Yes, they're called the Mothra Twins, Mothra Lea and Baby Mothra. The tiny women with them are their priestesses, the Shobijin."
"But...they look like caterpillars." Macao pointed out.
"And why are those two girls so small?" Wakaba asked.
"Don't ask. It's a really weird and confusing story." the spike-shelled Kaiju replied.
The Dark Guild thugs were now feeling really conflicted upon seeing the two caterpillars. "What the heck now?!"
"First some weird looking monster dog and now giant bugs?!"
"Where are all these things coming from?!"
Then, just when it seemed like it couldn't possibly get worse for the three Dark Guilds, the ground beneath a group a Dark Unicorn mages suddenly exploded as a large red beast with a small yellow horn on its forehead and large yellow claws that looked like they could break stone appeared from a hole in the ground.
The creature roared as fire began to spew from its jaws. "Alright you chumps! Who wants to get fried first?!"
Before any of the Dark Mages could speak their shock, several of them suddenly felt themselves get kicked in the backs and sent flying into the sides of more buildings. The others looked to see a large blue theropod dinosaur with a yellow chest and large, muscular legs with small spikes running down its back.
The dinosaur glanced at the red beast. "You really need to work on your timing Baragon. One slip up and you could end up in serious trouble."
Baragon snorted with annoyance. "Ah, get off my back, Gorosaurus! You're too old to be worrying about that stuff!"
"Save it you two!" a female voice exclaimed. Both looked over to see a large, light green water serpent with large horns and a webbed tail suddenly appear and slam several more Naked Mummy mages away. "We don't have time for you two to be bickering on the battlefield."
"Manda's right." another voice called out. A tan colored, flying squirrel-like reptile with long spines running down its back, the top of its head and on the sides of its face dropped down and slammed several Red Hood goons into the ground. "Lets just focus on these guys first, then you two can go play 'old married couple' all you want."
Baragon snarled angrily. "Shut up Varan!"
"Alright! That's enough!" Godzilla shouted, getting their attention. "Save it for after the fights over! Right now, just push them back!"
Gorosaurus nodded. "Understood Godzilla."
"On the case boss." Varan added.
"Consider it done." Manda replied.
Baragon just nodded. "Sure, well take care of it." He then gave a quick glare at Varan. "But you're gonna get it when this is over."
Varan chuckled. "Sure, whatever you say Baragon."
The Dark Mages were now officially freaking out. "Gah! I can't take it anymore!"
"I know! One or two was enough, but now?!"
"We gotta get outta here!"
The Dark Unicorn leader heard that and raised his weapon. "NO! We will NOT retreat! Stand your ground and fight on!"
"Fight on?!" one Dark Unicorn member exclaimed. "But there are so many of them now! How are we supposed to beat them all!?"
"Here's a hint!" Suddenly, something large and dark green appeared out of another dark alley way and plowed through them like they were nothing. Zato and Gato managed to jump out of the way just in time to see what had almost hit them. It was yet another creature with two rows of large scutes on its back with the largest pair being at the very front. It had skinny arms and had an almost rectangular shaped head with a mouth full of sharp teeth.
"Nice one Zilla!" Rodan called out.
"Just how many of these freaks are there?!" Gato shrieked.
"Oh, I'd say...a lot!" This time, another voice called out. They were then suddenly shot at with a large yellow spider's web that completely bound them tightly.
The dark mages turned to see a large yellow and brown spider with two large glowing blue eyes with three more smaller eyes near each of the large eyes. However, they also noticed that standing beside the spider was a large blue tortoise with a very rough, jagged chest with large spikes that curved forward and a very rough face with small spines on the top of its head that also curved forward. Both Gato and Zato instantly became a few shades paler at the sight of the first creature.
"No! Not spiders! Anything but spiders!" Zato screeched with a look of terror on his face.
Gato took a step back in shock. "Just how many of these freaks are there?!
Kamoebas gave the Naked Mummy mage a deadpanned stare. "Um...you already said that."
"Hehehe! Now to have some fun with these chumps!" Kumonga snickered as he started to move towards the trapped Dark Mages, making them quickly start to panic with fear.
"You go ahead with that." the tortoise responded to him before turning to his other ally. "Zilla, I could use your assistance!"
"On it Kamoebas!" Zilla called out. She then grabbed Kamoebas by his shell with her lanky arms and tossed him towards the remaining dark mages. Kamoebas then closed his limbs up inside of his shell as he began to spin like football towards them and slammed into them, causing them to cry out in pain.
Lucy looked on in complete shock upon seeing the large group of monsters beat back the Dark Guild members. "Are all of these guys your friends?!"
Godzilla nodded. "They are."
"Man, they're really strong!" Natsu shouted in disbelief.
"Aye, they're beating back all of those guys!" Happy exclaimed.
The Monster King's eyes narrowed when he caught sight of a certain Dark Guild leader. "Speaking of which..."
The Dark Unicorn leader's jaw dropped at seeing the last of his forces completely decimated by the Earth Defenders. "How?! How can be beaten by mere monsters?!"
"Hey..."
He then froze up and forced himself to turn around only to find himself face-to-face with Godzilla once again. He was so stiff that he didn't even budge an inch when the Monster King lowered his head so that their faces were inches away from each other.
"Let me make myself clear again so that you can get this through your thick, primitive skull." he growled menacingly. "If I ever see you or any of your lackeys around here again, I will not hesitate to tear you limb from limb. Do I make myself clear?"
"A-a-as crystal!" the Dark Unicorn leader stammered with fear.
"Good. Now get out of here!" Godzilla snarled.
The Dark Guild leader quickly nodded and turned to his remaining soldiers. "Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
With that said, the members of Dark Unicorn, Naked Mummy and Red Hood who could still stand got up and ran as fast as their legs could carry them. Some had to help carry away several of their injured comrades who were too injured to stand. It wasn't long before the entire street was cleared out of Dark Mages.
Gorosaurus let out a sigh. "Glad that's over. Though I didn't expect it to end so soon."
"For a moment there, I thought we would end up going all out." King Caesar added.
"So why didn't we?!" Baragon snarled in frustration. "I didn't even get to cut loose at all!"
Varan just chuckled mischievously. "There's always something for you to complain about Baragon."
Anguirus came to Godzilla's side. "Well, I guess we can both agree that we weren't expecting this."
"I can, old friend. This does feel rather strange." Godzilla replied.
"Which part? Being sucked into a giant portal or being shrunk down?" Rodan asked.
"I think he means both Rodan." Manda said as she and the others came to join Godzilla's side.
King Caesar crossed his arms as he looked around at the area. "This is truly a strange world. It'sery different from Terra."
"Yeah, you've got that right." Rodan nodded in agreement. "I've never seen humans style their hair after narwhals.
As the Guardian of Okinawa gave his fellow Kaiju a deadpanned expression, Godzilla noticed the Mothra larvae approaching him. The Shobijin used their Magic to float into Godzilla's clawed hands.
"We are glad that you are safe Godzilla. The larvae were greatly worried." they said in unison as the larvae squeaked to him.
Godzilla smiled. "I was worried as well. After watching you all fly away, I thought..." he began to trail off at that last part.
"Hey, come on. It'll take more than falling from thousands of feet to stop us." Kumonga reassured him.
"All that matters is that we're back together again." Manda said.
"Alright! You know what that means...Reunion Party!" Rodan shouted, causing everyone to just stare at him. "Hmph, party poopers..."
They then noticed the Fairy Tail wizards approaching them, causing most of the Defenders, except for Godzilla, Anguirus, Rodan, Caesar and the Mothra larvae, to tense up and get into a fighting stance.
"Stand down Defenders!" Godzilla ordered. "These humans are not our enemies, they saved my life. You can trust them."
"How can we be sure?" Gorosaurus asked
Varan nodded. "Yeah, it could just be some kind of trick just to wipe us all out."
"It wouldn't be the first time humans tried to kill us with bait." Zilla added.
Before Godzilla could say anything in response to their comments, he was slightly surprised when Gildarts stepped forward.
"Your friend here risked his own life to save three of our guild mates. And that was against the same punks you were facing before. We in turn helped him as he helped us." he said with a calm expression. "So what would we have to gain from hurting him or any of you?
The Defenders didn't know how to respond to this question.
"I suppose he's got a good point." Kumonga said.
"Yeah, your right. Sorry." Gorosaurus said, they others nodding.
Makarov only smiled. "There's no need for apologies. All that matters is that you all protected my children from those Dark Guild brutes."
Natsu pumped his fist. "Yeah! You guys totally kicked their butts!"
"Not only that, but you also protected many innocent people from those fiends." Erza added.
Rodan smiled a bit at the comments. "Hey, don't sweat it."
"We're pretty much used to it." Anguirus said.
"We're just glad no one was badly injured." Godzilla said.
Then, they noticed the townspeople coming out of several buildings and approaching the Kaiju. The Defenders were now starting to grow on high alert now as they saw more humans start to appear, feeling more than guarded over what would happen next.
"Hey, settle down." Happy said with a smile. "I'm sure they'll love you guys."
"Sure." Baragon said in a sarcastic tone. "Like that'll happen."
Suddenly, something happened that the Defenders never thought would happen...
...The towns people started cheering.
The Kaiju were stunned by the cheers from the populace. They could hear the compliments they were getting from the humans.
"Did you see that?"
"They saved the town from those Dark Guilds!"
"That's so cool!"
"Are they a part of Fairy Tail?"
"I wouldn't be surprised!"
Baragon looked to the flying cat with a bemused look. "I stand corrected."
"Aye! Told ya!" Happy cheered.
"Why don't we head inside." Makarov said. "I think some explanations are in order."
Godzilla nodded and turned to the rest of his team. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll find these humans are different than the ones back home."
The Defenders looked at each other before nodding. Their leader was never wrong before. They followed Fairy Tail into the guild while the towns folk prepared the cleaning process.
Sitting on a nearby rooftop was Fairy Tails first master Mavis Vermilion, who watched the Defenders enter the guild hall. She couldn't stop smiling.
'If any on can help the Defenders...its Fairy Tail.'
----The creature had watched the entire thing happen from a small ridge on the outside of town. He had witnessed the whole battle take place between the Kaiju and the humans, it didn't surprise him that much when the monsters were victorious.
Kaiju were clearly more powerful than humans, they always were.
He heard a loud thud from behind him and turned to see his ally land on the ground and approach him. "Sir, we have successfully located the source of the energy that transported us here. What should we do?"
The creature turned around to look out at the Kaiju conversing with the Fairy Tail guild. He then turned to his ally. "Prepare the others. Let us find the ones who brought us here and make them talk."
Destoroyah nodded, opened her massive wings and took off towards the horizon. The creature began to follow her before he stopped and turned around one last time, he saw the Kaiju enter the guildhall. He started to smile.
'Enjoy your new friends while you can brother...' Large crystals grew out of his back as he began to fly after his ally.
'I look forward to breaking them.'
----Back at the Fairy Tail guild:
The whole guild was silent as they stared at the small group of Kaiju standing before them. Godzilla was able to convince them to trust the humans, telling them about how they helped him after he had passed out in the forest. The Earth Kaiju were rather impressed with the interior of the guild. They now knew what it was like to be inside a human dwelling instead of crushing it underfoot.
Varan whistled a bit a he looked around. "Wow, so this is what buildings look like on the inside? Pretty nifty."
"You can say that again." Gorosaurus replied in agreement.
Rodan on the other hand looked a bit more uncertain than his allies. "I guess, but I don't know, seems a little too cramped in here for me."
Now, everyone was waiting patiently for the King of the Monsters to explain to them about everything.
"Now then, I understand that you all have many questions, but first, let us cut to the basics. We are the Earth Defenders, a group of Kaiju, or beasts of great strength and power, who are dedicated to protecting our world from those who seek to harm our planet and its natural balance. We created this team after an army of alien invaders from outer space came to destroy both us and the entire human race."
The Fairy Tail wizards continued to listen with great interest as Godzilla continued. "As I stated to you earlier before those 'dark guilds' interrupted me, I have had a bad relationship with humans in the past. That also goes for everyone else here, we all have a reputation amongst the humans of our world." Some of the Defenders closed their eyes after he mentioned that.
"But you guys don't seem that bad." Natsu said. "You guy's saved our town just now."
"I agree." Erza cut in. "Why would the humans of your world not trust you after all the good you have done?"
"I don't think you so scary." Wendy said shyly. "I think you guys are nice."
"Thank you Miss Wendy." Godzilla said. "But like I said earlier, they feared us because of our giant size and destructive power. Whilst our team has tried to maintain the peace between the Kaiju and the humans, most of them still see us a threat. As said before, we are much larger than we are now, but we shrunk as we came to your world. It appears that excess radiation in our bodies mixed with the magic energy that transported us here, causing us to shrink.
"Radiation? What's that?" Mira asked with Elfman and Lisanna nodding.
The Shobijin stood up from Lea's head, causing the guild to turn to the two small women. "We can answer that question Miss Mirajane." they said together. "In our world, radiation is an energy created by the humans of our world many years ago to serve as a weapon against their enemies. It is a deadly weapon, one that completely destroys everything it touches."
"Why would they make something so dangerous?" Levy asked.
"They felt it was necessary to use against their foes during times of war. Sadly, those who are able to survive the actual explosion are forced to suffer a slow and painful death at the hands of the deadly poison it leaves behind." they said sadly.
"How awful." Wendy said with her hands over her mouth.
"Hold up a sec." Gajeel said. "If this radiation stuff kills everything it touches," he then pointed to the Defenders, "how are you guys still here?"
"Yeah, wouldn't it affect you guys too?" Gray asked.
The Defenders looked at each other, then looked at the ground sadly.
"The thing is" Rodan said in a sad tone, "it DID affect us."
"How so?" Juvia asked.
"Just look at us." Zilla said. "The only reason we're like this is because of the humans and their damn tests."
"What tests?" Lucy asked in a concerned tone. "What did they do?"
Godzilla closed his eyes before explaining. "Over the years…the humans have tested the effects of nuclear weapons, hoping to study the destructive effects of radiation on living creatures and landmasses. They did this by conducting tests on inhabited or uninhabited islands located out at sea."
"However, the left over radiation from the tests had different effects on some of the inhabitants of those islands." Anguirus finished.
Rodan's wings sagged a bit as he sighed. "And that's how we ended up like this."
"But you could say that Godzilla was the first to exist because of this." Kamoebas said.
"How?" Lisanna asked.
Godzilla was silent for a moment.
"Because...I was the worlds first modern kaiju."
Everyone's eye's widened at this revelation.
"So you were the first one?" Freed asked. Godzilla nodded.
"The first of the atomic era. After my mutation, the others began to succumb to what I endured." Godzilla said. "But not all of us were created from radiation."
"Then what did create you?" Laki asked.
Again, the Shobijin answered. "Many of the kaiju here were created in the distant past as guardians, to bring balance to the world. Like Gorosaurus, King Caesar and Mothra."
"Who?" Wakaba asked.
"Mothra was the Divine Moth, the Guardian of the Earth, and the mother of the larvae you see before you." the Shobijin answered as the Mothra Larvae squeaked.
"Where is she?" Mira asked. "Is she here to?"
"If she's in our world too, we can help you find her." Lisanna suggested.
Godzilla and the others closed their eyes with looks of sadness on their faces. "She was killed."
Everyone gasped. "By who?" Erza asked.
"Battra." the Shobijin replied. "Mothra's dark brother."
"Her brother?!" Lisanna asked. "Why?!" She remembered the time when Elfman had supposedly killed her two years ago, but he was under the influence of the Beast, so she didn't blame him.
"You see, Battra is basically Mothra's polar opposite." Rodan piped in.
King Caesar nodded. "While Mothra cared about all living things...Battra doesn't. He lives to destroy all who cross his path."
"Years ago, Battra was under the command of Minette and Mallory. Identical twin sisters who possessed incredible psychic power and a deadly grudge against the people of Terra. They ordered Battra to attack our home of Infant Island and Mothra sacrificed herself so we could flee." the Shobijin said sadly. The Mothra Larvae squeaked sadly and looked at the ground.
Mira knelt down next to Lea while Lisanna sat next to Baby Mothra. "I'm so sorry for your loss." Mira said as she stroked Lea's chin. "A little one like you shouldn't have to go through such a horrible thing." Mothra squeaked in response.
"Lea says thank you for you words Miss Mirajane." the Shobijin translated.
"Please." Mirajane smiled. "Just call me Mira."
"I have a question." Gildarts said. "How did you guys get here anyway?"
"We were battling an evil army of Kaiju until we were transported here by some type of Black Magic." the Shobijin replied.
"Black Magic?" Makarov muttered. "Who in their right mind would meddle with such dangerous power?"
"Who were you guy's fighting?" Natsu asked.
"We were battling a creature called SpaceGodzilla and his Earth Conquerors." the Shobijin answered.
"SpaceGodzilla?" Erza asked.
"Is he like your brother or something?" Bickslow asked, but Godzilla only turned away.
"We assure you" Anguirus began, "they're not related."
"The humans only gave him that name because he looks like Godzilla, but he comes from space." Rodan said.
"We believe he and the Earth Conquerors were transported here at the same time we were." King Caesar added.
"So we might have a group of evil kaiju walking around our world?" Wendy asked in a frightened tone.
"We don't know for certain." Godzilla said. "But if they are here, they're no doubt out there." He turned to look up at the ceiling.
"...Plotting their next move."
----In the skies over Fiore:
Inside the Grimoire Heart Airship, Hades sat upon his throne, a disappointed look on his face as the Seven Kin of Purgatory stood before him. He was still upset that the machine had failed, whatever power they hoped to obtain was now scattered across the kingdom, with almost no chance of getting it back. Ultear bowed.
"My apologies, Master Hades. Clearly the device was not able to bring forth the power you requested."
"No." Hades said. "It's here, but possibly scattered across the globe."
"Perhaps we should attempt to locate it." Meredy suggested. "If it's out there, then it may still be possible for us to retrieve it."
"Perhaps." Rustyrose said. "But it would only be a waste of precious time if we had to look all over the world."
"Yes." Hades said as he started to stand. "We mustn't let this miscalculation set us back and focus on our primary mission."
"And what exactly would that be?"
The group turned to the new voice located at the front of the ship.
"Who's there?!" Zancrow snapped.
"I must say, this is indeed an impressive vessel." the voice continued. "Even the humans of my world would not be able to pull of such a feat."
"Enough!" Hades demanded. "Show yourself!"
"As you wish."
Soon, a person appeared from the shadows. No, it wasn't a person...it was a monster!
It was blue with a red chest and crystal-like dorsal spines running down it's back. It also had a small bundle of crystals on the tip of its tail and a large crystal sticking out of each shoulder. A single large horn that parted in three ways sat on it's forehead. It was flashing a wicked smile as it approached the dark wizards.
"What the heck are you?!" Zancrow shouted.
"Let's just say I'm not from around here."
"Who are you and what do you want!?" Hades demanded.
"You may call me SpaceGodzilla."
Soon, more monster appeared out of the shadows behind him. "...and all we ask is for a moment of your time."
