The night sky of the dream distorted, and three pairs of red gleams emerged above her.

”Your family is most unusual, as far as your supposed species pertains.”

The world seemed to freeze in place aside from the speaker and the vile voice’s audience. Luna whirled about to look directly at the red gleams as they circled around. The red light blinked, indicating them to be three sets of eyes.

“Vile scourge, what business have thee assaulting Celestia such as this?!”

A low, mocking cackle that seemed to come from all directions rattled the dreamscape. Through the dark void, an enormity closed in. And as it did, the distant pinpricks of light that indicated the eyeshine grew larger, and larger, and larger still until the word magnitude was appropriate. Like a moving mountain, radiant golden scales came to reflect Celestia’s light and Princess Luna’s eyes widened in recognition. She recognized this titan from her own talks and dreamwalking forays into Godzilla Junior’s mind, the shock being enough for her to break speech pattern.

“YOU!”

Grand King Ghidorah, hovering alongside the evidently floating pegasi city for which this memory took place in, towered over the alicorn despite only being visible from the chest up. In the frozen landscape, his form’s sheer size and mobility made him as glorious as he was terrifying. Grand King Ghidorah’s maws curled into what Luna couldn’t tell were either scowls or grins.

”You have proven quite irksome.”

Princess Luna was, in truth, as terrified as she was shocked. Junior had warned her of this demonic drake multiple times when they’d sit and swap old stories. This was the one being he could never truly defeat, or fend off on his own. And while she lacked personal experience to give it context, hence why she wasn’t petrified with fear and no doubt most beings justifiably would be, she was extremely uneased by his mere presence. Still, the nerve of whom was behind her gave the alicorn gumption and she stood her ground, flying up to get on eye level with the golden monstrosity.

“What business have you with my sister? Why have you assaulted her in such a way?! The kaiju told me of you and you typically never moved in such a subtle way.”

Ghidorah remained silent, eyes locked upon the Princess of the Night. Princess Luna, mustering up the same legendary courage that ran strong in her family, narrowed her gaze at the three glares shot her way.

“Answer me coward! Are you too afraid to lash out at Equestria and its allies upfront?”

Her shouts were met with stoic non-reaction by Ghidorah, whom began to extend his mental capabilities. Eyes beginning to glow red, Princess Luna felt a wall forced up against her. That presence that shoved her out of the dream realm returned, and as she fought against it she lost ground. Princess Luna beat her wings and extended her magic, pushing back as much as she could to dodge or shove away the wall of psychic energy beginning to exorcise her from her sister’s mind. The alicorn grunted and strained, slowing but not averting the force. Forced sideways and still fighting back, she caught a glimpse of her frozen, transformed sister. Luna’s heart chilled seeing the paragon of a pony her dear sibling often was reduced to such a state.

“Why?! Why have you put my sister through this?!”, she shouted while fighting back, still just as confused as to why Grand King Ghidorah was doing this as she was at his lack of outright attack like Junior said he favored.

”I was bored. I found the experience and memories of one so aged… amusing.”

Princess Luna blasted the wall with magic, temporarily halting it while keeping her eyes trained upon the frozen Princess Celestia. Amidst the horrific changes and frightening appearance she witnessed one crucial detail. Lenses of red had formed over Celestia’s eyes, identical in color to Ghidorah’s.

It all but confirmed her previous hypothesis that an outside force was making her sister experience this mental torment, and that gave the dream walker all the motivation she needed.

“Yoooou DAAARE?!”, Luna roared with an outburst of magic that shattered Ghidorah’s mental wall.

The golden dragon visibly snarled after a moment of surprise, his eyes igniting and a second, larger wall being summoned. But just before he could dare the petulant alicorn to break through this one, Luna’s voice called out again in a tone that could only be described as mocking.

“Have you experienced defeat so long that you have become weakened? Is that why you refrain from showing yourself?”, Princess Luna barked as the wall of power sped towards her.

Unmoved, she called out again, “Are you afraid that Godzilla would do you in, or does a world of ponies finally give the King of Terror fright?”

Princess Luna hovered in place with magic at the ready, calmly flapping her wings as Grand King Ghidorah’s mental wall shattered right before it hit her. Grand King Ghidorah’s expression had completely shifted, from stoic to all three of his faces appearing nothing but absolutely livid.

“That mongrel is a mistake I intend to correct soon enough, and when I return to Canterlot to finish this ordeal I will enjoy seeing your subjects weep for your catatonic body to revive after I burn your mind down,”

Ghidorah’s maws all began to snap open, revealing a cornucopia of screaming voices that meshed together into a hellish cackle. Golden light began to build up and crackle along his fangs. But right before he opened fire on the magically readying alicorn, the King of Terror roared one last phrase that left her so baffled she nearly didn’t dodge the oncoming graviton torrents.

”Survive!”
