Ice Dragon Slayer/Chapter 29: Origins - Invaders

Above Terra's atmosphere - 2008:
"Are you kidding?! How the hell could Lizard Brain survive being sucked into a black hole?!" Gajeel shouted.
After witnessing the last memory of Godzilla's, the Fairy Tail wizards were completely surprised that Godzilla had gone through a lot in only half a century and was still able to keep going. Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel were still pondering on Godzilla's battle with Gigan and King Ghidorah. It still completely shocked them that Godzilla's world also had a dragon and how easily it was able to incapacitate someone like Godzilla. Lucy was having similar thoughts as the other members of the guild.
"Godzilla has stared death in the face more times than you could comprehend. It is all those close calls that made Godzilla so strong-spirited, giving him a willingness to never back down from a battle." the Shobijin said.
"But doesn't he know how much of a risk that is?" Lucy asked. "What if something horrible happens?"
"Miss Lucy, we understand your concern." the tiny women replied. "But Godzilla understands these risks as well and he knows how dangerous they can be."
The scene around the members of Fairy Tail changed until they found themselves in outer space. They could see Earth below them and above they could see the endless stars. They saw the moon off in the distance as well. This was their first time in space and they had to admit...it looked beautiful.
"Wow..." Levy whispered. "It's so beautiful up here."
"I never knew there were so many stars," Wendy said in awe.
"It sure is pretty nice up here," Gildarts said.
Erza looked upon the planet below with amazement. "I never thought I would see something like this in my life. So this is your home?"
The Shobijin nodded. "Indeed. Before you is our home planet of Terra, commonly known as Earth."
"But why are we all the way up here?" Natsu asked with confusion. "What does this place have to do with Godzilla?"
He got his answer when the mages noticed four objects flying towards Earth's atmosphere. One was a large meteor, the other was a stream of black gunk, the third was a streaming purple comet and the fourth was a flying mass of crystals.
The wizards were shocked when they noticed SpaceGodzilla was flying towards the Earth with massive crystals sticking out of his back. They also noticed that the purple comet was Gigan rocketing towards the Earth. They noticed the streams of gunk coming together to form the unmistakable shape of Hedorah flying towards the Earth alongside the others. However, the large meteor was a mystery to the guild.
Lucy's eyes widened in astonishment. "Is that-"
The Shobijin nodded grimly as the group watched the three Kaiju and the large meteor flew past them before they began to make their descent towards the surface of the planet.
"What's happening!?" Bickslow asked.
"The Space Monsters have united to destroy the humans and rule Terra." the Shobijin answered. "They are splitting up to every major city across the globe to spread their destruction and fulfill their goals."
"What?! How the heck is Godzilla supposed to stop them all?!" Gray asked.
The Shobijin smiled. "You'll see."
The scene then began to show each Kaiju beginning to make their move.
----Godzilla: Final Wars OST: Gigan Awakens...
----Gigan screeched as he flew above the city of Hong Kong with several fighter jets in pursuit. Gigan simply ignored the barrage of missiles and revved up his buzz saw before he began to cut an entire building down the middle, all the while screeching with glee.
SpaceGodzilla was hovering over London when he noticed a large tower nearby. Then his crystal shoulder spikes and dorsal spines as well as the horn on his head began to glow and spark with electricity as he fired his Corona Beam at the tower, destroying it instantly.
Hedorah seemed to be sitting on a mound of trash floating in the middle of the North Pacific as a warship began to fire missiles at him. However, to the mages' surprise, the missiles went straight through his body and exited through the other side.
Finally, a new monster that the guild mages hadn't seen before was plowing its way through New York without breaking a sweat. Its skin was pitch black and was covered in bony white armor that made it's appearance resemble a skeleton. It had a long tail that seemed to split into two at the end and its shoulders had what looked like half a head on each side next to the main head, it's four red eyes glowed in the dust as it continued to plow through the buildings.
"What kind of monster is that?" Cana asked.
Freed slightly shuddered at the sight of the creature. "That beast...its power feels similar to that King Ghidorah creature."
The Shobijin nodded at Freed's statement. "Yes, you are correct in way Mister Freed." This caused the guild members to raise their eyebrows at the magical women.
"How?" Lisanna finally asked. "What kind of Kaiju is that?"
The Shobijin looked at each other hesitantly before answering. "That is Monster X, a mutation of this Earth...yet not of this Earth."
This caused the guild members to give them odd looks before looking back at Monster X as he was about to run into the Empire State Building only to be stopped by Mothra, who was shooting pink lightning from her wings.
"It's Mothra!" Levy shouted with glee.
"That beast's in for it now!" Evergreen exclaimed with similar enthusiasm.
Mothra proceeded to attack Monster X with her Mana Bolts and seemed to be gaining the upper hand against the skeletal looking beast, but Monster X wasn't about to lose so easily. Glaring up at the Divine Moth, Monster X blasted Mothra square in the chest with his yellow Gravity Beams that he fired from his four glowing red eyes. Mothra screeched in pain and was sent tumbling through the air until she struck part of the Brooklyn Bridge and landed in the middle of the city. Monster X roared in victory.
"What destructive power," Juvia whispered. "It truly is on par with King Ghidorah."
"I can't believe it defeated Mothra so easily," Mira said as she looked in the direction where Mothra had been sent flying.
"Wait! What about Godzilla?! Where's he during all this?!" Natsu asked as he looked around.
"You will see soon enough." the Shobijin said before closing their eyes and the scene around them changed again.
----Godzilla: Final Wars OST: Godzilla vs. Kumonga and Kamacuras...
----Inland Empire, California:
The Fairy Tail members now found themselves standing atop the balcony level of a large building overlooking the desert wilds of Inland Empire, California. Hearing someone climbing up the ladder attached to the building, the group of mages turned and noticed a man who looked to be in his late twenties with extremely short blonde hair dressed in a white shirt and an army vest climb up to the ladder and reaching the same floor that they were one.
"Who's this guy?" Gray asked with confusion.
"He is simply known as Harrison." the Shobijin responded. "He is a member of an anti-Kaiju attack team known as the Monster Kill Crew, and their goal was to defeat Godzilla and other Kaiju out of revenge and to earn a profit, but soon realized the role they played for Terra."
At that moment, Harrison kicked open the door to reveal that the contents inside was actually none other than a rebuilt Kiryu, much to the surprise of the mages.
"They rebuilt it?" Levy inquired, earning a silent nod from the Shobijin.
Suddenly, two guards appeared and jumped Harrison, with one managing to get in a punch to his before Harrison managed to swiftly take both of them out. With both guards incapacitated, the young man ran towards Kiryu without so much as a single word.
Gildarts crossed his arms. "He's not much of a talker is he?"
"He has been mute for most of his life." the Shobijin revealed, earning looks of surprise from the group as Harrison climbed inside of Kiryu and started to activate the mecha. From outside of Kiryu, the mages see the mecha begin to move as it crashes through the wall of the base out making its way outside.
The sight earned a slight grin from Gajeel. "Looks like that tin can's up and running."
"Yeah! Now those space freaks and taste heavy metal!" Happy called out.
However, as Kiryu took several steps forward, it suddenly came to a dead halt, to which it and the mages noticed Hedorah standing directly in its path.
Wendy's eyes widened in shock. "Oh no!"
Erza's eyes narrowed. "Hedorah."
After a moment of staring at the mecha, Hedorah launched to sludge bombs at Kiryu, who dodged the attack as the sludge continued its course and landed near the mages, who instantly recoiled back in pure disgust.
"Ew! Super gross!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Man, that's nasty," Gray added.
[SEARCH AVAILABLE WEAPONS.] a robotic voice spoke from the mecha as Hedorah began to launch his arms at Kiryu and his body started to smother and entangle it. [WHAT DO YOU WANT, YOU GROSS BASTARD?]
Hedorah simply stared at the robot before even more of its sludge body lunged at Kiryu, smothering the mecha. Kiryu roared as the acid began to eat away at its metallic hide.
"Kiryu's gonna get melted by that thing!" Levy exclaimed.
As Hedorah continued to overpower Kiryu, the mecha spoke again. "[SURELY THERE IS SOMETHING YOU WANT... MAYBE, OH, I DON'T KNOW, A CURE FOR HOW TOTALLY GROSS AND DISGUSTING YOU ARE."
"SKREEEEEEEEONNNGK!"
Kiryu, Hedorah, and the Fairy Tail mages turned towards the source of the roar and saw Godzilla stomping his way towards the mecha and the smog monster.
"Godzilla!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.
Natsu pumped his fist. "Yeah! Take that slime ball down!"
The moment Godzilla appeared on the scene, Hedorah turned to focus his attention on the King of the Monsters and launched a sludge bomb at him. Godzilla swatted it away with his tail before firing his Atomic Breath at Hedorah, with Kiryu looking on from the sidelines and seeing that Godzilla had the situation under control.
[GOOD GOING, BIG G!] the mecha called out before turning and flying away with its boosters.
"Where's he heading in such a hurry!?" Gajeel said with surprise.
"He's just gonna leave Godzilla on his own?" Cana inquired.
The Shobijin shook their heads. "Kiryu has other tasks ahead that are key to winning this battle."
Godzilla roared as he began to wrestle with Hedorah, who created small tendrils with his body and wrapped them around the King of the Monster's arms and legs. As Hedorah got closer to Godzilla, the saurian fired his Atomic Breath right between the Smog Monster's eyes. The attack forced Hedorah to back off before his body started to glow and changed into his flying form.
"SLERRRRRRRRRRRK!"
Hedorah let out a gurgly cry as he lunged at Godzilla and grabbed him before carrying him off into the air. The Smog Monster flew towards a deep crevasse and dropped Godzilla into it, with the King of the Monsters roaring in pain as he hit several ledges on his way down until he hit the bottom with a loud and powerful thud. The Fairy Tail mages winced, almost feeling the pain just by watching it.
"Oh no! Godzilla!" Happy called out.
"I can't believe this," Pantherlily uttered in astonishment. "Have the Space Kaiju always been this powerful?"
"Unfortunately yes." the Shobijin answered. Many of these invaders have proved a challenge to Terra's native Kaiju.
"SKREEEEEEEEONNNGK!"
The mages looked down into the canyon to see Godzilla stand back up and roar as Hedorah began to fly towards him. But instead of tackling him, Hedorah flew over the saurian's head and dropped an acidic sludge bomb onto Godzilla, who roared in pain as the acid burned his skin and fell on his back. Godzilla tried to get back up, but Hedorah flew by again and attacked with another sludge bomb, sending the King of the Monsters falling back down.
Gray glared at the scene before him with anger. "That sludge bag's fighting dirty!"
"Come on Godzilla!" Levy shouted. "Get back up!"
"You can do it!" Wendy called out.
Godzilla slowly began to get back up once again with a look in his eyes that suggested he had finally had enough of his opponent's dirty tactics. He grabbed his tail as his dorsal spines charged up with atomic energy and fired his Atomic Breath from his mouth at the ground directly beneath him. The power of the beam was so great that it actually allowed Godzilla to fly out of the canyon, leaving the mages in pure shock and awe at the sight.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Natsu shouted.
Happy's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "He can fly!?"
"I didn't know he could do that!" Lucy exclaimed, with the Shobijin silently chuckling with amusement at the group's stunned expressions.
As Godzilla continued to rocket through the air, he crashed into Hedorah and both monsters were sent crashing to the ground. Godzilla got up first and headed towards Hedorah, who roared in panic as his body began to glow again, but the saurian wasn't going to give him the chance to escape. Godzilla began to brutally stomp his foot down onto Hedorah's body multiple times before firing his Atomic Breath at the Smog Monster, causing his body to explode into multiple pieces. With Hedorah defeated, Godzilla simply turned and stomped away from the area, leaving behind sludge covered footprints with each step.
"Yeah! Way to go Godzilla!" Natsu cheered.
"There's no doubt about it! Godzilla's a real man!" Elfman exclaimed, earning some sweat-drops from the rest of the mages.
"That guy's a stone-cold warrior," Gildarts said with a grin.
"I knew he would take out that walking pile of snot," Gajeel smirked.
"Wait!" Erza exclaimed, causing everyone to look at her. "How is he supposed to defeat the other Space Monsters?!"
"That's right!" Wendy said with realization. "There's no way Godzilla can fight the rest of them by himself!"
The Shobijin gave them an amused smile. "Relax Miss Erza and Wendy. Godzilla won't have to."
"What do you mean?" Juvia asked.
"Watch," they answered as the scene changed again.
----Godzilla Unleashed OST: Baragon's Theme...
----Hong Kong, China:
The mages now found themselves standing on top of a building in Hong Kong, China, where they saw Gigan approaching another building and to their horror, he began to slash at it with his buzzsaw. The group saw people in the building trying to escape, with some retreating to the upper floors while those still in the lower parts were slaughtered by Gigan's buzzsaw. The sight horrified the Fairy Tail mages.
"Those poor people..." Lucy uttered with horror and sadness.
Natsu clenched his fists as he glared at the sight. "That bird brains gonna pay for that!"
As Gigan peered through the windows of the upper section of the building, he prepared to attack again. However, before he could, a large shadow coming from something behind Gigan was cast on the side of the building. Confused, Gigan turned around to see the source, only for a large object to suddenly slam into him and send him crashing through the building, causing it to collapse.
Juvia's eyes widened with surprise. "What happened!?"
"I don't know, but whatever it was, it was fast!" Gray replied.
Looking up, the group realized that the unidentified object was actually none other than Rodan, who perched himself on top of another building before letting out a piercing roar.
"SKRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"It's Rodan!" Wendy shouted in delight.
However, that excitement disappeared when she and the others looked towards the remains of the smashed building, realizing the fate of the rest of the people that were still inside, being inadvertently caused by Rodan.
Levy covered her mouth with her hands. "All those people..."
"...gone." Lisanna finished with equal horror.
Gigan slowly got back up after recovering from being tackled into the building and screeched towards Rodan, who returned it with his own roar.
"Come on! Show that overgrown chicken that he chose the wrong world to destroy!" Happy cheered.
"Does Rodan even stand a chance against someone like Gigan?" Carla asked.
"Don't worry Miss Carla." the Shobijin replied with smiles. "He won't be alone."
Before anyone had the chance to ask what they meant, the sound of stomping footprints was heard and everyone turned towards the source of the sound. Anguirus came stomping through the ruins of a couple of destroyed buildings before stopping to glare at Gigan, snorting at him in a threatening manner.
"Anguirus!" Erza exclaimed.
The Shobijin nodded as Gigan looked back and forth between Anguirus and Rodan before roaring and swinging his hook hand at Rodan, who flew off of his perch to dodge the attack and caused Gigan's hook to smash the building he was just on. With Rodan out of sight, Gigan turned his attention towards Anguirus and fired his Optic Laser towards the ankylosaur's direction. Anguirus managed to dodge out of the way of the laser and hid among the destroyed buildings and smoke. Gigan attempted to flush Anguirus out of hiding by destroying any surrounding buildings with his hooks and buzzsaw.
"Look's like they're trying to confuse him," Cana commented.
"This is part of Anguirus' strategy." the Shobijin responded. "This is not the first time he has faced Gigan."
Erza turned towards them with surprise. "Really?"
They nodded. "When Gigan and Ghidorah first came to Earth, Anguirus challenged both of them in battle. Despite his best efforts, he was easily defeated."
Those words left Erza in silence as she processed what they had just said. 'Challenging Godzilla in one thing…but taking on an opponent that gave even Godzilla trouble is another.'
The mages turned back towards the conflict as Gigan continued to swing his hooks at every possible building that looked large enough for Anguirus to use as cover. After smashing another building into rubble a loud roar was suddenly heard.
"MRRAAAAAAAAAWRN!"
Gigan turned his head, only to see Anguirus in his spike ball form charging towards him. The ankylosaur crashed into the cyborg, sending him falling into another building. However, as Anguirus began to uncurl, Gigan quickly got back up and latched his hooks onto Anguirus' carapace, pulling him closer to his revved-up buzzsaw. The Earth Kaiju bellowed in pain as the saw began to slice at his neck and chest.
Erza's eyes widened. "Anguirus!"
"That dirty-" Natsu growled angrily before being cut off.
"SKRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Suddenly, Rodan reappeared and flew towards Gigan from behind, with the cyborg releasing his hold on Anguirus and firing his Giganium Laser at the pterosaur. Rodan managed to dodge the attack and landed a lucky hit when he flew over Gigan and his chest spikes bashed into the cyborg's visor, causing him to screech in pain as he was once again sent crashing into more buildings.
Gajeel grinned as he watched Gigan fall. "Alright, he got that clucker good."
"Yes! Way to go Rodan!" Levy cheered while clapping her hands together.
"One more strike and that fiend will be finished." Freed commented.
As Rodan flew back around to attack again, Gigan was able to get back up quick enough to see the pterosaur coming. Once he was close enough, the cyborg leaped into the air and latched his hooks into Rodan's wings, forcing them both to the ground. As Gigan kept Rodan restrained, he activated his buzzsaw again and started to pull the pterosaur closer. Rodan screeched in agony as he struggled to break free from Gigan's grip and the cyborg's hooks sunk deeper into his wings.
"Oh no!" Happy exclaimed.
"I don't think I can watch this!" Wendy shouted as she covered her eyes with her hands.
However, Lisanna noticed something and pointed her finger. "Wait! Look!"
Everyone looked and saw Anguirus starting to recover as he slowly got back to his feet. He looked up and quickly spotted Gigan trying to kill Rodan.
"MRRAAAAAAAAAWRN!"
Anguirus roared in anger as he curled into his spike-ball and launched himself at Gigan. The cyborg turned and saw the spike-ball coming, but he couldn't dodge in time as Anguirus' spiked carapace collided with his head. Gigan was instantly knocked unconscious by the force of the blow and released Rodan from his grip as he finally collapsed to the ground. Having been freed, Rodan turned and gave a friendly nod towards Angurius before taking off into the air and flying off towards the East.
"That sure was a close one," Gray remarked.
Elfman nodded in agreement. "It takes a real man to take on an opponent like that."
"I guess Godzilla was right," Erza said to herself with a small smile. "He may like size and strength, but Anguirus does have a lot of heart."
It was then that the scene began to change once again.
----Godzilla Unleashed: Titanosaurus Theme...
----London, England:
When the light faded, the Fairy Tail mages found themselves standing in the burning streets of London, England, and looked up to see SpaceGodzilla rampaging, much to their horror. As the city burned, SpaceGodzilla fired his Corona Beam at the Big Ben clocktower, destroying it before summoning crystals that erupted from the ground. Tanks and missile trunks fired at SpaceGodzilla, which only appeared to annoy him as he then proceeded to obliterate them with his Corona Beam.
Freed stared in astonishment at the cruelness of the celestial saurian. "Such ruthlessness..."
"To think this creature is somewhere in our world right now," Juvia added.
Gray nodded in agreement. "With that kind of power, who knows what he's doing out there."
Then, before SpaceGodzilla could continue his rampage, he heard the sound of loud footsteps emanating from behind him and he turned around to see Titanosaurus approaching him before stopping and roaring at the crystal clone. The Fairy Tail mages were surprised at the sight of the new monster.
"Who's that monster?" Bickslow asked while pointing towards the dinosaur.
"That is Titanosaurus." the Shobijin replied. "A Kaiju who once allied himself with Godzilla and the others."
Lucy looked at them with confusion. "Wait, 'once'? If he was Godzilla's friend, what happened to him?"
The Twin Fairies gave each other reluctant looks before turning back towards Lucy. "You see... it is quite a complicated story..."
The blonde could tell something wasn't right, but decided against prodding any further out of respect.
"SKREEEEEAAAAARRRNNNT!"
SpaceGodzilla gave a piercing roar before charging up his dorsal spines, preparing to fire his Corona Beam at Titanosaurus. The aquatic dinosaur simply stood his ground and glared at the Space Monster before a dark shape flew overhead of the two Kaiju. SpaceGodzilla's eyes followed the object as it made a U-turn towards him, revealing itself to be Battra as he fired his Prism Beams directly at the celestial saurian, who took the attack without any reaction and roared back at Battra.
Natsu's eyes widened in shock. "He didn't even flinch!"
"He just took the attack straight on!" Gray added.
SpaceGodzilla fired his Corona Beam at the dark moth, sending him crashing to the ground. Titanosaurus swung his tail and whacked SpaceGodzilla in the back, causing him to fall forward, but as he got back up, Titanosaurus began to swing his tail fin from side to side, creating gusts of powerful wind that sent debris flying towards SpaceGodzilla. At the same time, Battra managed to recover and flew back towards the other two Kaiju, firing his Prism Beams at SpaceGodzilla. Having had enough, SpaceGodzilla began to charge up electrical energy through his tail before using his Tail Smash attack on Battra, hitting and shocking the Dark Imago with energy and sending him crashing into Titanosaurus. The energy from SpaceGodzilla's attack reacted with Battra's Prism Beams and resulted in a massive explosion of purple energy. Battra and Titanosaurus collapsed to the ground as the explosion rendered both of them unconscious to which SpaceGodzilla let out a cry of victory before transforming into his flying form and flying towards the west.
"Whoa! He just fried them!" Happy exclaimed in shock. "This guy might be as strong as Laxus!"
"As much as I do hate to admit it, you could be right," Freed responded with a begrudging expression, with Bickslow and Evergreen having similar looks as well.
Lisanna stared at the display in astonishment. "He took them out so easily!"
Erza's gaze narrowed. "SpaceGodzilla must have gotten stronger since his last encounter with Godzilla."
"Something tells me he hasn't just got conquest on his mind..." Gildarts commented with a stern look. "I'd say he's got a score to settle."
The other mages looked at Gildarts and then at each other, realizing that he was onto something. SpaceGodzilla was more than likely not just here to conquer the planet but was also looking for payback against Godzilla. At that moment, the scene changed once again.
----New York City, North America:
The guild members finally returned to what was left of New York City, which had been completely decimated compared to when they last saw it. Not too far away, they spotted Monster X standing atop a building in the center of the ruined metropolis, his heavy breathing sending plums of hot air from his jaws as he gazed upon his handiwork. He then spotted a building that appeared to still be somewhat intact, to which Monster X's eyes began to charge up yellow energy before firing his Gravitational Beams towards the structure, reducing the building to rubble.
Lucy's eyes narrowed as she stared at the skeletal Kaiju. "You know, there's something familiar about this Monster X."
"In what way?" Mirajane asked curiously.
"This monster has a similar power to Ghidorah, but I think it goes much deeper than that." the Celestial Mage explained.
Lisanna looked towards the Shobijin "Is there a connection between Monster X and King Ghidorah?"
Once again, the small twins looked at each other hesitantly for a moment before they looked at the other wizards.
"Yes, King Ghidorah and Monster X...are the same species." they both answered, to which the mages turned back towards Monster X in shock.
"They are?" Levy asked.
Cana slightly narrowed her eyes as she stared at Monster X. "I guess I can see some resemblance."
"Millions of years ago, the Ghidorah species were the most powerful creatures to ever exist." the Shobijin explained. "Their dynasty was long-lived as they spread from their homeworld to other planets across the universe. But then they suddenly disappeared, wiped out by a great cataclysm."
"Just like how our dragons' disappeared on the same exact day," Natsu commented while looking towards Gajeel and Wendy, who nodded.
"But not all of them died, did they?" Erza asked with a knowing look.
The Shobijin nodded. "Indeed. Only four survived this mass extinction. The first being the same creature that faced Godzilla in Antarctica. Two were sealed beneath the Earth, one was reawakened while the other remains imprisoned. The last was a mutant, different from the rest of its kind. This mutant... is the beast you see before you."
The mages continued watching Monster X until the group heard the sound of a rocket coming from above. Looking up, they saw Kiryu flying towards Monster X with Kumonga riding on top of the robot's back. As Kiryu got closer, Kumonga immediately jumped off and began to shoot streams of webbing at the alien Kaiju, pinning him to the side of a building.
"They've got him pinned!" Gray exclaimed.
Erza nodded. "Now's their chance."
Once Kumonga was on the ground, he began to climb up on the webs surrounding Monster X and shot more webbing onto the alien's face. Having enough, Monster X fired his Gravitational Beams and destroyed the webs before grabbing Kumonga and began squeezing his body with his claws. Kumonga gave out a painful screech before his joints began to pop, making the mages wince at the sight.
"Brutal!" Gajeel said.
Levy covered her mouth in shock. "Oh no, Kumonga!"
Monster X then proceeded to throw the crippled Kumonga towards Kiryu, causing the mecha to stumble back. As Monster X began to charge towards Kiryu, the robot's chest suddenly opened up while giving off an icy blue glow before firing a large bright blue energy blast at the Space Monster.
Juvia stared at the sight with surprise. "What kind of attack is that?"
"That is the Absolute Zero Cannon. It is a new ice-based weapon implemented to this model of Kiryu to defeat Kaiju." the Shobijin replied.
Gray observed the mecha's ice attack, feeling awed at its power. It didn't just remind him of his own ice powers, but also his Master Ur when she used Iced Shell on Deliora. The Absolute Zero Cannon struck Monster X, but instead of freezing him like It was intended, the bony Kaiju was able to quickly shrug off the attack and fired his Gravitational Beams at Kiryu, sending the mecha flying into the Hudson River.
"There's no stopping this guy!" Cana yelled with surprise.
Elfman clenched his fists. "He's just taking everything they throw at him!"
"SKREEEEEEEOOONNNKK!"
Then, a familiar roar echoed through the city and Monster X stopped his attack to turned around to see Godzilla stomping through the city in his direction
"Alright! Godzilla's here!" Happy cheered.
"SKKKREEEEEEEEAAAARRNNT!"
The mages looked up as soon as they heard another familiar roar and saw SpaceGodzilla as he canceled out of his flying form and landed in the Hudson River, with Monster X looking back at his fellow Space Kaiju before the two prepared to face off against Godzilla.
Erza observed the sight with a serious look. "This is going to be a real challenge."
"Can Godzilla really stand up to Monster X?" Juvia asked in concern.
"C'mon he's beaten SpaceGodzilla before, and if he can survive a black hole, he can sure as hell beat this X guy."
Gajeel crossed his arms with a grin. "Those two space freaks are gonna wish they stayed home today."
Lucy looked on as Godzilla approached SpaceGodzilla and Monster X while releasing a roar of challenge. 'Godzilla...be careful.'
----Godzilla: Final Wars OST: Godzilla vs. the Undersea Battleship...
----Godzilla fired his Atomic Breath at SpaceGodzilla, who countered the blast with his Corona Beam. As the two beams clashed, Monster X entered the fray and fired his Gravitational Beams, the three-way beam collision creating a powerful explosion that sent the three Kaiju flying. Monster X landed in the city while Godzilla and SpaceGodzilla crashed into the Hudson River, close to where Kiryu was. The two saurians recovered and got back up before charging at one another and battling up close with their teeth and claws. Godzilla grabbed his clone by his lower jaw while trying to push him back, but SpaceGodzilla began to levitate out of the water with his telekinetic powers and swung his tail at Godzilla, bashing the saurian and knocking him into Kiryu. As Godzilla tried to get back up, SpaceGodzilla hovered over the downed king and fired his Corona Beam, striking Godzilla in the back.
"Godzilla!" Lucy shouted.
"That crystal-covered jerk's fighting dirty!" Natsu exclaimed.
Just then, Kiryu's Absolute Zero Cannon activated and fired a powerful energy blast from beneath the river, striking SpaceGodzilla and knocking him out of the air, sending him crashing back to the ground.
Happy's eyes widened. "Whoa! What just happened?"
"Looks like Kiryu still has some fight left," Pantherlily replied.
With SpaceGodzilla down, Godzilla began to recover, charging up his dorsal plates and firing his Atomic Breath at SpaceGodzilla, who roared in pain as the attack shattered his shoulder crystals. Realizing that he was outgunned, SpaceGodzilla entered his flying form and quickly retreated, flying straight into the sky until he disappeared from view. Godzilla watched his half-brother retreat with a snarl of frustration before turning and heading towards the shore.
The crystalline beast roared in pain as he entered his Flying Form and quickly flew off into the air. Godzilla watched his half-brother's escape and growled in frustration before he stomped back towards the shore.
"Three down, one to go," Freed said out loud.
"Let's just hope Godzilla can handle that Monster X guy," Gidarts commented.
"He's got this," Natsu said with a smirk. "Nothing can stop him."
Godzilla made his way back to shore and saw Monster X, who had recovered from the previous explosion and was staring down the King of the Monsters. Godzilla roared at the alien, who roared back as he started to approach the saurian. Godzilla charged at Monster X, but the latter quickly got the upper hand as he backhanded and punched the saurian before slamming his tail into his face. As Godzilla staggered, Monster X flicked his tail to rid it of blood and fired his Gravitational Beams, causing Godzilla to fall to his knees. The King of the Monsters glared at Monster and began to charge up his next attack, then fired his Atomic Breath at the skeletal beast. Monster X roared in agony as he fell to his hands and knees while Godzilla managed to get back up.
"Yeah, he got that bonehead!" Natsu cheered. "Told you he could do it."
However, Erza noticed something was off and took a step forward. "Wait! Something's happening!"
The mages looked back and Monster X and noticed that his body was starting to tremble when a pair of gold and black wings suddenly erupted from his back.
Evergreen's eyes widened. "Wait! Is he-"
"That can't be it!" Bickslow exclaimed.
The Shobijin shook their heads. "No...the battle is just beginning."
Monster X continued to transform as his tail split in two and both his arms and legs grew larger and bulkier, giving him a quadrupedal stance. The half-heads on his shoulders morphed into full heads and their necks began to elongate, with each of the three heads gaining a new set of horns. His white armor and black skin morphed into a dull gold hide. Once the transformation was complete, the new creature glared down at Godzilla, who's eyes were wide in complete shock.
"HHHHRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIII!"
Everyone had to cover their ears when the new monster released a demonic roar towards the King of the Monster.
"It...transformed?!" Cana shouted.
"It looks like some kind of demon!" Lily said in shock as he looked at the mutated Monster X.
"In a way, your correct." the Shobijin said. "That is Keizer Ghidorah."
"Now he really does look like King Ghidorah," Lucy remarked.
"Yes, but in this form...he is much stronger than King Ghidorah himself." the small women said quietly.
Everyone was shocked by this and watched as Keizer Ghidorah fired his Antigravity Beams from all three maws at Godzilla, who countered with his Atomic Breath. Both attacks clashed briefly, but Keizer Ghidorah's attack was able to greatly overpower Godzilla's before the Antigravity Beams struck the saurian. Godzilla was launched across the Hudson River and towards Liberty Island, crashing into the Statue of Liberty and being buried under rubble, leaving the mages in shock.
"No way..." Gray uttered in astonishment.
"He sent him flying...with barely any effort..." Juvia added.
Keizer Ghidorah began to fly towards Liberty Island as Godzilla began to rise up out of the rubble, using his tail to send the ruined Statue of Liberty flying. Once on his feet, he looked up to see Keizer Ghidorah coming down to confront him, but before Godzilla could do anything to fight back, Keizer Ghidorah fired his Antigravity Beams at him and sent flying into the air. As the beams dissipated, Godzilla began to fall and crash-landed into the Manhattan Bridge, completely destroying it instantly.
Lisanna looked on with astonishment. "I can't believe it! Godzilla doesn't even have a chance to fight back!"
"Keizer Ghidorah is raw power incarnate, determined to obliterate all that oppose him." the Shobijin said grimly.
As Keizer Ghidorah was momentarily distracted by a helicopter flying around his heads, Godzilla began to recover again. Once the demonic dragon managed to shoot the helicopter down, Godzilla roared at the three-headed monster and fired his Atomic Breath. Keizer Ghidorah turned towards Godzilla just as he was engulfed by his attack, roaring in pain before retaliating with his Antigravity Beams. As the beams hit Godzilla, he found himself actually being lifted into the air by the attack and Keizer Ghidorah began to take flight as he continued to elevate Godzilla miles above the city, to which Lucy gasped as she realized what the three-headed monster had in mind.
"Oh no... He wouldn't-"
"He would," Gildarts replied grimly.
Once Kaiser Ghidorah stopped his flight, he suddenly powered off his Antigravity Beams and Godzilla began to fall like a rock towards the Earth below.
"SKKREEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOONNNKKK!"
The King of the Monsters crashed into the city like a meteor with tremendous force, the impact of the crash creating a massive dust cloud. The mages looked up and saw Keizer Ghidorah diving straight down towards the saurian.
"Godzilla!" Natsu shouted.
"Get out of the way!" Lucy called out.
Unfortunately, it was too late as Keizer Ghidorah landed on top of Godzilla with great force, creating a massive tremor across the city. Godzilla growled in immense pain, almost motionless as the demonic dragon prepared to finish him off
"This is just terrible!" Levy exclaimed. "How was Godzilla able to beat this thing?!"
The Shobijin smiled before turning their attention towards the sky. "Look above."
The Fairy Tail mages did so and saw a small dot of distance, but it was coming in fast. As it got closer, the group realized that it was Rodan.
"SKRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"Rodan!" Wendy called out.
----Godzilla: Final Wars OST: Godzilla vs. Keizer Ghidorah...
----Rodan flew straight towards Keizer Ghidorah, kicking and clawing at the dragon with his talon-like feet. The attack managed to force Keizer Ghidorah off of Godzilla, giving the saurian a chance to recover as Rodan slammed his feet against the main head of Keizer Ghidorah. The helicopter that was attacked by the dragon earlier reappeared to join in on the fight as it fired a beam of red energy at one of the other heads. Keizer Ghidrah fired an Antigravity Beam and struck Rodan in the chin while another one of his heads seemed to be deflecting the red energy back at the helicopter, causing it to spin out of control and crash to the ground. Rodan recovered as he backed away and roared before performing a Sonic Wing Beat, creating a massive sonic wave without warning and ripping off Keizer Ghidorah's central head.
Happy's eyes widened in shock. "Whoa! That took his head clean off!"
Freed nodded. "Finally made that beast bleed."
"Way to go Rodan!" Levy cheered.
Keizer Ghidorah roared in sheer agony before blasting his Antigravity Ray from his two remaining heads at Rodan sending him soaring like a come off into the distance. The mages were left shocked upon witnessing Rodan's swift defeat.
Godzilla finally managed to get to his feet and roared in anger at the sight of seeing his fellow Earth Kaiju be defeated, causing Keizer Ghidorah to turn his way. The dragon lunged his left head and bit down on Godzilla's throat, causing him to roar in pain when he noticed the right head was preparing to bite as well. Godzilla was able to react quickly and managed to grab the right head before it could reach his face, then forced it to bite down on the neck of the left head. As the left head was bitten off, the last remaining head of Keizer Ghidorah screeched in agony, and Godzilla, now freed from the dragon's grasp, fired his Atomic Breath at Keizer Ghidorah, who collapsed to the ground.
However, Godzilla didn't let it end there and brutally slammed his foot down onto the remaining head of Keizer Ghidorah.
"He's actually gonna kill that thing!" Evergreen exclaimed.
"Heh. The guy's got guts to pull that off." Gajeel snickered.
Then, a sickening crunch was heard as Godzilla's foot crushed the head completely, finally slaying Keizer Ghidorah.
"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEONNNNNNGGK!"
Godzilla raised his head and roared in victory before turning around to head towards the coast.
"I can't believe it, he did it..." Lucy muttered in shock.
"I knew he would win," Natsu said with a smile.
"That...was sick," Cana said but still couldn't help but smile as well.
Gildarts stared at Godzilla as he retreated from the city with a smirk on his face.
"I gotta admit, seeing Godzilla go up against that guy, it had my heart pounding." Lisanna commented
"I knew he could do it. I wasn't that worried." Mirajane said with her usual sweet smile.
"Of course she wouldn't be." Happy mumbled to himself.
The Shobijin shook their heads. "We aren't done yet. There is still more to see. Are you ready?"
The mages nodded as the scene changed again to show the last few memories of the King of the Monsters.
