Recap / The Bridge Ch 9 Part 1 Escort

Go To

Respect.

Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Mothra, Anguirus, Rodan, and Gentle Leaf teleport into the throne room. Anguirus and Rodan are a bit rattled as this is the first time they have ever been inside a building. Twilight and Rainbow are shocked when they see Princess Luna heavily bandaged. Luna explains that she heals quickly and should be fine after a few hours, and the situation has been taken care of. Since Celestia is still busy tending to Cadance, Twilight was the only other royal she could call for aid. Luna asks who the three transformed Kaiju are, and gets suspicious when she casts a spell that lets her see a creature's aura and briefly sees the three's true forms. Mothra bows to her and tells Anguirus and Rodan to bow as well, assuring her that they are no threat. Rainbow vouches for Anguirus and briefly tells of how he saved the camp from Garble and his dragons. Luna is a bit skeptical, but says she'll believe in the Element of Loyalty if she believes in him. Rodan smells Godzilla Jr.'s scent and asks where he is. Luna says she's sent for him.

The Royal Guard, the members who aren't in the infirmary, escort a heavily chained and muzzled Godzilla down the hall. A snide guard named Sgt. Bold Rush obnoxiously asks why they are keeping him prisoner and have not executed him on the spot for harming Luna. He starts punching Godzilla and hitting him with his baton, but he's so tough that it doesn't faze him. Captain Blueberry Frost orders him to cease at once and fall back in line, but Bold Rush, still seeking glory and wanting to pass it off as a prisoner escape, draws his sword and swings it at Godzilla's neck. Instantly, Godzilla snaps his chains, avoids the blade, and caves his chest in with a punch. The other soldiers point their weapons at him and he stands down. Two soldiers carry Bold Rush to the infirmary, while chuckling that he was a fool and deserved it.

Come here often, handsome?

Godzilla is put back in chains, but the soldiers know now that he can escape at any time and is just cooperating with them, as he figures it is the best course of action to clear up the misunderstanding. As they walk, Blueberry Frost and Lieutenant Blade Dancer thank him, explaining that Bold Rush is an obnoxious pervert who's constantly harassing the female soldiers, and the only reason why he joined the Royal Guard is because he's obsessed with Princess Luna and actually thinks he has a chance of convincing her to let him share her bed. Blueberry Frost says she's impressed by his strength and if he is found innocent and released, she'll offer him a position in the Royal Guard. Blade Dancer smirks and says she'd like that, eyeing him up and down and finding him quite handsome. He's completely confused by her mannerisms, as he has zero experience with romance and sexuality.

They arrive in the throne room and the Royal Guard is dismissed. When Godzilla sees his comrades and recognizes them despite their new forms, he joyously runs up and hugs them, snapping his chains without even noticing. Luna is worried by this display of strength and the fact all his injuries have already healed. When Godzilla explains what happened to him, Mothra makes him bow to Luna and formally apologize for the misunderstanding. Luna is still wary, but says she'll forgive him for now. She asks where they came from and how many more are out there. Twilight and Mothra say they have a spell prepared that should answer that, but Luna should prepare for some new guests.

Be gone!

Shadow of Red is exhausted. Not only is the mysterious invader powerful, but the strange black floor has spread throughout most of Zenith, and merely stepping on the bitterly cold surface saps his energy. The invader is also assisted by three other monsters. Red resorts to absorbing the essences of his fallen minions to replenish his power. He opens a portal behind the invader to a different dimension, and it starts sucking him in. Before Red can triumph, one of the invader's minions, a winged, serpentine creature, slams into him from behind, and Red is knocked into the portal, which closes. The invader grins and declares victory. Now the realm of Zenith belongs to him.
