Chapter 4
It was a bit of an interesting scene to say the least at the former home of Princess Rapunzel. Towering over the tall tower that had been her home for eighteen years was a large tulip plant, grown by beings that many humans believed did not exist. More incredible was the being that the said flower spat out, in a way. The fairies of Pixie Hollow, and the princess who was doing her best while hiding behind the large flower that was beside her old tower home, were studying the creature more that had just come down in a ball of green fire like a falling star. Tinkerbell and Fawn flew over the unconscious green dragon… if it really was one. According to the Animal-talent fairy, this was something entirely new that she had never seen before. The partner of Peter Pan asked, "Fawn, do you think this could be something that is literally out of this world? And I mean something that comes from even beyond Neverland.". The brown-haired wild beauty answered that it could very well be, but they would have to bring Queen Clarion over to find out. She even added that they may have to bring in all of the leaders of Pixie Hollow to even be sure.
Silvermist went to the two and said, "Ummm, girls. I don't know why exactly, but… this is bringing back some memories from sixteen years ago. Do any of you remember?". Tinkerbell's eyes widened, and so did the rest of the pixies. Even Rapunzel, who was still hearing the fairies clear as day, had her eyes wide as she recalled the event that was now bubbling back up in the surface of her brain.
The blonde Tinker beauty went to her Water-talent friend and replied, "You got that same feeling too?! I thought I was the only one who remembered!". One by one, the memories came rushing back to them! Each fairy remembered the day sixteen years ago when they all saw a golden comet blazing past Neverland. Fawn and Rosette remembered seeing Mothra, Vidia remembered seeing Rodan, Iridessa remembered seeing Anguirus, and Silvermist remembered seeing Godzilla. Zarina had seen all of the monsters, focusing on each one equally before they vanished. Tinkerbell had seen them all with Peter Pan on that day, but the one that captured her attention the most was the King of the Monsters himself.
Rosette exclaimed, "I remember now! I saw that golden comet that shot past Neverland, going beyond the stars! Do you think this is one of them?". Zarina herself examined the monster up close, the rest of the pixies wanting to keep a fair distance from the small monster. The Alchemist-fairy was swirling around Little Godzilla, studying each part that she flew close to. She touched one of the small dorsal spines, and she started to glow a bright golden color! When she removed her hand, the glow slowly faded away. After a few minutes, she finished her examination and went back to her friends.
The former pirate reported, "I think your partially right, Rosette. This one has features that are like the one with those unusual dorsal spines on its back, but much smaller. I would guess this thing is that monster's baby. Also, when I got close to it… my fairy power seemed to react to it, getting stronger. When I touched it… I felt like I was a taking a dip in a pond full of Blue Pixie Dust!". Tinkerbell and Fawn agreed on that, both putting in that when they got near the green-skinned monster, they started to feel their own magic humming and making them feel more alive… more vibrant! What they did not know was it was the radiation that Little Godzilla absorbed from both his father and the island they were living on. The potent energy was still coursing within him, but far less fatal since his power was taken and his body shrunk down. However, the energy still remaining inside the little monster actually reacted positively towards the magic that the pixies had.
As the fairies started to discuss on what they should do now, especially after learning about this bit of information, Rapunzel looked at the sleeping beast. Her eyes softened slightly as she saw the human-sized monster, seeing that even though it was six feet in height , it had a gentle face. The princess had learned the interesting way on how to not judge by appearance alone, and wanted to get closer to this little one. She slowly made her way over to Little Godzilla, trying to not make a sound to get the fairies attention. She did not know them, and was a bit wary since they may have powers that would not bode well for her. Rapunzel stuck close to the giant tulip, making her way to the small monster. She got close when she stepped on a small twig, causing it to snap and making the princess wince. At the same time, this caused the pixies to turn around and see her.
Tinkerbell and the others were about to agree on the decision to bring the Fairy Ministers, Queen Clarion and even Lord Milori to this place to see the monster… when they heard the twig snap. They all turned to find the source, and that is when pixie eyes locked onto royal eyes. Their first reaction was to fly away and hide from Rapunzel, which they did as the fairies flew into the brush that was nearby. Rapunzel called out, "Wait, please! Don't hide! Tinkerbell, Zarina. Can I talk with you two?". The fact that she called them out by name surprised the pixies, since only those with magical properties or with one with nature can hear them. This piqued the curiosity of the Alchemist-talent fairy and the partner of Peter Pan, who slowly flew out of the brush. Their friends pleaded with them not to go, but these two wanted to know more about the human that knew their names.
Rapunzel was now face-to-face, so to speak, with the two pixies that were now floating in front of her. In the brush, Maximus and Pascal were nervous but they decided to wait it out and see what developed from this. The princess of Lelystad relaxed a little, but showed she would act quickly… just in case. The same could be said about Tink and Zarina as they hovered close to her face. The tinker inquired, "How do you know our names? And can you really understand us?". Zarina put in that most humans would only hear chimes like bells when they spoke.
The brunette beauty answered, "I heard your names as you spoke them to one another. And yes, I can understand you. I'm just surprised that I could. Oh, forgive me for not introducing myself. My name is Rapunzel, princess of the kingdom we are in now.". Tinkerbell and Zarina were surprised, both at the fact that the human before them could clearly understand them, and the fact that she was of royal blood.
The Alchemist-talent fairy inquired, "Pleased to meet you, Your Majesty. But I have at ask… what are you doing out here, exactly?". While she talked, Tinkerbell looked over and encouraged her companions to come over. They were reluctant, especially Vidia after a bit of an experience with a human child named Lizzy Griffiths and her father Dr. Griffiths. However, the blonde beauty manages to coax her friends out from the bush and to introduce themselves to their new acquaintance. Meanwhile, Rapunzel was telling Zarina on why she was here in the first place. The former pirate fairy was a bit surprised to learn that the tower behind the massive tulip was her home.
Rapunzel said, "I'm also here because… well, after seeing this creature fall down from that sky like a comet, I started to remember something sixteen years ago. Like you all did! I remember seeing a golden comet when I was ten years old, one that had monsters in it! And now that I see this baby here, it does indeed look like the one I saw with the strange spines on its back.". The fairies were now very stunned that meet someone else that was remembering what occurred those years ago, and seeing the monsters as well. Silvermist stated that it was strange now, that all of them were remembering something like that AND are now together with a baby that was related to the massive beings. Now that was something they would all think about, but at a later time. Right now, there were other pressing matters to attend to.
Fawn stated, "Okay, so it seems a lot of weird stuff is happening, and it's all connected to us somehow. We'll figure that stuff out later! Right now, we need to bring the Ministers, the Queen and Lord here! They can decide on what to do with this strange critter here. If… you can call it that.". Hard to call something a critter when it was six feet tall, and looked like a humanoid dragon. The fairies agreed and were about to take off, but Rapunzel stopped them from their flight back to Neverland.
She said, "Hold on a moment, please! I think that we need to wake up this little one first. Then you can bring down these… leaders of yours. I don't believe its right to pass judgment on something, or someone, without getting to know them first. To see what they are like.". Some of the pixies felt that she was right, especially Iridessa and Tinkerbelle. However, Vidia was not budging on the subject. It grilled the fast flier that the human was suggesting another course of action, and also putting into question the rulers of her realm. The fairies were part of nature, and thus were more then qualified to handle matters that were of nature! Vidia flew down towards Rapunzel and started to give her a piece of her mind, stating quite harshly that this was a matter for the fairies and not for a human. You can bet that the princess of Lelystad did not take the Fast Flying-talent fairy's tone too well, and thus started a heated argument. The pixies went to the two to try and settle this peacefully, but it seemed that the two were not listening to them. Rosetta was about to say something to try and calm Vidia down… until out of the left corners of her eyes, she saw something that silenced her.
Little Godzilla's tail was wiggling. It was indicating that the adopted son of Godzilla was about to wake up! The Garden-talent fairy nudged her nearest companion, which was Fawn, who looked at her. Rosetta motioned with her head to look down at the tail, and when Fawn saw that appendage move, she knew that it was waking up due to the loud voices of Rapunzel and Vidia! Fawn spoke up, "Ummm… girls… I think we may have a little bit of a problem here.". The other fairies looked to her, then saw Little Godzilla's tail wiggling a little. Iridessa's eyes widened, as did the others, and she went to the two feuding ladies to try and get their attention. When her voice failed to reach them, she used her talent to bounce some of the rays of the sun off of her and shot them at the eyes of the two arguing beauties. The brief flash of light in their eyes distracted them, and the two looked at the same time to the Light-talent fairy and demanded as one to what she did that for.
They got their answer when slowly coming up on both his feet, for all of them to see was… Little Godzilla!
The small saurian was feeling a bit dizzy, and hurt from his little fall from the sky. While he was growing up and looking more like Godzilla every day, bit by bit, there was one thing that Little Godzilla did not have from his adopted father… and that was his healing factor. While the little monster had normal healing like most animals did, he did not have the incredible ability that Godzilla had. The King of the Monster's healing power had been developed for years due to two factors; enduring and absorbing any and all radiation that had come from nuclear testing, and after getting into some serious scrapes with other giant monsters plus the human military. He would have been unconscious longer, but a different power started to flow through him. It seemed that when Tinkerbell and Fawn were near him, their magic kick-started his healing. And when Zarina touched him, it seemed that power increased drastically! In short, the pixies were responsible for giving the healing ability of Little Godzilla a bit of a kick-start! He rose slowly from the ground, still a bit dizzy but it would wear off soon. What woke him up was loud noises from something, but he didn't know what.
Little Godzilla turned around and his red eyes saw something interesting. From what he saw, he was small again. Not as small as when he hatched, but a lot smaller then he was before. He also noticed that he was in a different environment, looking around and using his senses like his father showed him. He was definatly not on the home island anymore, the whole area clean and crisp with nary any of that strange radiation energy he had been feeding on with the King of the Monsters. What also caught his attention were several beings that were near him. Before him stood a human female, about a foot or so shorter then he was but still. It was what told him that he was small. Little Godzilla had seen humans with black hair back in his world, but he had never seen different colored haired humans. In his view, the lady had hair that was brown like his father's eyes… well, most of his eyes at any rate. The saurian also saw tiny little lights flitting about near the brown-haired female, and the baby monster swore he saw that very tiny women in those lights. He was very intrigued indeed, and waddled towards them.
Rosetta yelled out, "RUN FOR IT!" and the fairies did so! Tinkerbell and the others hid in the bush that was nearby, while Maximus and Pascal prepared to leap out and rescue Rapunzel if needed. However, the princess did not move as she was rooted to the spot in part fascination, fear, and a little bit of awe. Coming towards her was a strong creature, yes. However, it had the look and actions of a small child as it walked towards her and looked at her curiously like she was a brand-new toy or something. Rapunzel looked into the eyes of the monster, and saw that its eyes were red like rubies and were quite large and innocent. Little Godzilla squeaked and growled in a cute way as he titled his head, examining the human closely. The brunette beauty swallowed hard, and decided to take a chance! She extended her hand out to the creature, and everyone that was hiding in the underbrush just had their eyes wide and wondering if the human had just lost her mind!
Fawn rushed over, flying fast to the duo! She exclaimed, "No, wait! You don't know what… it will…". She stopped in mid-sentence when she saw Little Godzilla plopping on the ground, and Rapunzel slowly rubbing his yellow chest area. The princess was surprised to feel that it was hard and smooth, like a that of a fingernail. The small saurian seemingly purred softly as Rapunzel started to pet it, enjoying the touch as it would seem. Fawn and the others, including Pascal and Maximus, emerged from their hiding places, very much stunned on what had just taken place. The princess was petting a monster of unknown origin or strength like it was a household pet! Rapunzel soon had a smile on her face as she continued to pet the saurian, very glad and relieved that things worked out well this time. Fawn was a little embarrassed by this. In the past, she had always given most creatures the benefit of a doubt and shown unconditional love and support to them. But in fairness, Little Godzilla was completely unknown to her. She did not know if he was aggressive or passive, friendly… or not so much. Add in that getting close enough to him would make their magic more vibrant, stronger and possibly too potent to control.
The Animal-talent fairy went Rapunzel and asked, "How did you know it wouldn't attack or do anything aggressive?". The princess answered that she didn't know, she just had faith that Little Godzilla would not attack her or do anything rash. The son of Godzilla squeaked and looked down at the little firefly in front of him. It stared and slowly, like something coming into focus, the miniature monster could see Fawn completely! The Animal-talent fairy gazed into the ruby eyes of Little Godzilla, and indeed she could see that this was not a dangerous creature. She flew a little closer to the baby, and soon she felt her magic humming quite beautifully. Her glow got bright too, but not too strong. She reached out slowly and touched the snout of Little Godzilla, and immediately she felt a rush of energy come into her being! But this rush was good, flowing like rushing water in a stream after a good rainstorm. Fawn let out a soft moan of pleasure, loving the feeling that was coursing through her. However, after a few moments she started to feel her magic building up to a dangerous level, so she let go of the saurian's snout and flew back a little. The glow she had died down slowly, but she felt her magic still buzzing and returning to reasonable levels.
Rapunzel smiled, seeing and hoping that something good came out from this. She then turned to her right to see Pascal and Maximus. She said, "Come on now, no reason to be afraid. Come over here and meet our new friend.". The horse and chameleon were still a bit skeptical, but they trusted their princess. Maximus slowly trotted to her side, while Pascal remained on the horse's head. Little Godzilla turned his head a little and squeaked when he saw the animals. He had not seen any other creature besides his father and humans at his home, so seeing Maximus and Pascal surprised him. The two companions of Rapunzel flinched a little from the loud squeak, both looking ready to bolt but Rapunzel held them firm to the ground. Fawn and the other fairies, who finally emerged, were a bit surprised to see that Rapunzel had company, and animal ones at that. The Animal-talent fairy had rarely seen a chameleon, and was very much intrigued by Pascal.
Rapunzel looked to Little Godzilla and said, "Don't be afraid, little one. These are my friends here. This is Maximus and Pascal. They won't hurt you, I promise.". The princess saw the surprised look on the monster's face, and immediately assumed that the saurian had not seen any other animals. So, she was reassuring him like a child when introducing him or her to new friends. Little Godzilla got up, waddled a little over to Maximus, and extended his claw out. The horse neighed, closing his eyes shut and preparing himself for the worst! However, his fear was not needed as Little Godzilla pet his mane and neck. He was copying what Rapunzel did to his chest, and the little guy liked the feeling of touching this strange creature before him. Maximus opened his eyes, and let out a breath that he had held in. The former war horse felt that the creature's touch was surprisingly gentle and tame, and a bit weird since it was a claw stroking him, but he let it go. Pascal looked at the saurian from his perch on Maximus's head, and decided to try his luck. He slowly reached out with his paw and touched Little Godzilla's hand, changing colors almost instantly and causing the little monster to squeak in surprise and released his claw from Maximus!
Little Godzilla was again surprised to see a different animal, one that changed color so quickly especially! The others looked on, wondering what was going to happen next. The son of Godzilla growled curiously as it peered down at Pascal, wondering on how it did that. The fairies slowly flitted towards Rapunzel, and they all saw that the monster from another universe was just like a child. Tinkerbell smiled weakly and stated, "By the Pixie Dust Tree itself… Heh, I guess you really can't judge anything or anyone on appearance alone.". Though she was right, no one could honestly blame her for being scared when seeing something like Little Godzilla. The saurian looked at Pascal, who changed colors for the little one's amusement for a few minutes, before his gaze turned to the other pixies. One by one, their forms became clear for him to see. Though, he was really stunned to see tiny humans with wings on them. And with different colored hair and skin. Little Godzilla then looked around, wanting to see where he was and also try to see if his father was around. He turned and waddled away from the group, the others hopping out of the way of his tail as it almost swiped Rapunzel and her companions off of their feet.
While they looked on Vidia stated, "Okay human… I mean, Princess Rapunzel. You did have a point on wanting to see on what this… creature is like. And your instincts were good, I'll grant you that. But, we need some real help here. The Ministers, Queen Clarion and Lord Milori can probably help us with this little baby. Maybe even know exactly what it is.". Upon seeing her confused face, it was Silvermist and Zarina that explained to her the hierarchy structure of their world. As they talked to her, Tinkerbell went to Vidia and asked if she could make the trip back to Neverland on her own to get the leaders. The fast-flier answered that it would take a bit of time, an hour tops to get back to Neverland. And it might take some time to convince and bring the leaders of Pixie Hollow to the human realm, but it was possible to get it done. With that said, Tink encourage her friend to fly fast, and she did so… doing a miniature sonic-boom and causing the poor fairy to be blasted back and hit the ground. Vidia looked back, and she had a small, knowing smirk on her face before she started to head back to Neverland.
Tinkerbell sat up, shaking the dizziness that hit her head after the little sonic boom, looked up to where Vidia was flying and shook her head. "Some things never change…" she said to herself as she floated off the ground, dusting herself off. The partner of Peter Pan heard noise, and saw that the others were following Little Godzilla. The saurian had seen the waterfall, and was going to it to see if he could play in the pool where the water was down at. She shook her head, feeling both relieved and confused a tiny bit on seeing such a tall creature behaving like a child. She flew over to see what she could do to help out.
~An hour and thirty minutes later~
Vidia was coming back to Rapunzel's former home tower, and in tow behind her were the Ministers, Queen Clarion, and Lord Milori. Plus, a new fairy that was riding close beside the queen. This particular pixie was old, looking like an elderly grandmother that still had strength and life in her limbs and wings. She had hair white as snow, yet with streaks of black like the midnight sky with no moon or stars. Her eyes were also unusual; her left eye was white with a black iris, while the other was black with a white iris. In her hands was a staff made of wood that Vidia did not recognize, but it held power the likes she had never felt before. It was a power to be respected, as did the visage of the fairy who had a presence that showed although she looked peaceful and serene… would be quite fierce if not shown the proper respect and courtesy. She wore a garment that was quite unusual; a dress similar to Silvermist but more elaborate with one half being white, the other half being black. She was called Lady Airlia, and according to Queen Clarion, she was the ONLY pixie in existence that could control the powers of time and space itself! In short, she was quite powerful and wise.
Vidia had much to do when she got back to the Pixie Dust Tree, having the Ministers called up along with Queen Clarion and Lord Milori before re-telling the events on what happened down below on Earth. Needless to say, the entire group was intrigued by these events and decided to go and see what they could do about their new arrival. It was Queen Clarion that had brought in Lady Airlia, who had arrived in a spectacular fashion from a white hole that just appeared out of thin air! Now, all of them were flying towards the kingdom of Lelystad, towards the spot where Little Godzilla and the others were at. Vidia muttered to herself as she flew towards the destination, "I swear after this is all over, I'm going to take a long, hot soak in a bath back home…". She did not like being sent to talk with the higher-ups… especially ones that were so powerful. When they finally arrived at the place, they found something most peculiar… well, at least to them.
Little Godzilla was playing a sort of Hide-and-Seek game with the fairies, hiding behind the tall tower or trying to hide within the brush that surrounded the beautiful area. Watching on was Rapunzel, with Maximus and Pascal by her side. The entire thing seemed surreal yet… calming and peaceful at the same time. The Ministers were very much surprised to see something like Little Godzilla, but Queen Clarion and Lord Milori simply smiled at the scene before them. To them, this was a good event to witness. Lady Airlia looked to be in deep contemplation as she saw the saurian squeaking and waddling away to escape from his newfound friends. Vidia called out, "Hey, Tink! Everyone! I brought the leaders from Neverland!". The fairies stopped their little game with the son of Godzilla, flying to greet their friend and the leaders. Rapunzel stood up, ready to greet the new guests. While Vidia was gone, her fairy friends had told her all about Neverland and what they do there. Needless to say, she was pleasantly surprised on all the duties and talents that the fairies performed. Tinkerbell said that she was now a partner to Peter Pan, the newly crowned King of the lost realm, and quite a boy that was brave yet cocky as a rooster.
When they all flew down near the ground, they hovered in front of Rapunzel. Queen Clarion flew a little closer to the human princess and seemed to study her for a bit. After awhile, she said, "Ah, it seems that you were born of some strong magic. That is why you are able to see and hear us perfectly and clearly.". That shed some light for Rapunzel, since her parents did explain to her long ago on how she was born years ago. The Queen of the Fairies bowed to Rapunzel, and introduced herself formally to her. One by one, the other top pixies also introduced themselves to the human.
Silvermist waited until the introductions were done and asked, "Umm, your Highness. I was wondering, who is the fairy next to you? I have not seen her before in Pixie Hollow.". The others, minus Vidia, were also wondering about the newcomer. This time, however, it was Lord Milori that spoke.
The ruler of the Winter Woods spoke, "Her name is Lady Airlia, one of the most powerful of all the pixies. She is in charge of space and time itself, and lives in a separate dimension from even Neverland. We brought her here, because after what Vidia told us back home, we believe she can help us with finding out on where this… creature came from.". The black and white fairy went to Little Godzilla, who was very curious about the newcomers. Airlia looked at the little monster in the eyes, and slowly started to circle around him. The others watched on as the Time/Space pixies was doing her examination of the saurian. After a few minutes of weaving and moving along the very perplexed Little Godzilla, she then hovered near his face and studied him a little more before slowly backing away from him.
She looked to the others and said, "This creature… it is definatly a being from outside our very own universe. He comes from a different world. Allow me to show you…". She waved her staff in the air, and from it emerged a swirl of white and black pixie dust! All were amazed, even Little Godzilla as he was now mesmerized by the light show. The dust came together to form an image, showing the world that Little Godzilla was from. Airlia stated that the name of the creature was Little Godzilla, adopted son of the King of the Monsters and quite different from his father. It seemed that it was going to be a long day for the pixies, human and animal companions…
(Author's Notes: Well, it is done! Short I know, but I believed it would be best to get Little Godzilla done with now. Next chapter will be King Caser with Aladdin and the crew in Agrabah!
So, how do you like my OC Lady Airlia? I got the black and white theme from both the Pokémon series and also the Kingdom Hearts series. Time and space, together yet apart at the same time. Airlia can access time and space, and also show information on beings that are from other places like Little Godzilla. She is powerful, but the more she uses her powers… the more it saps her of her life force and strength. A give and take, as it were. Also, Little Godzilla's psychic abilities are coming into play, and will have a critical role in the future! Do any of you remember what happened to him when he was Baby Godzilla, human-sized and being studied by the scientists? The little guy does have some interesting mental abilities, and it has grown since then! Now that he is in the Disney universe… well, just imagine the possibilities!
And now, the questions. What do you think of the little fight between Vidia and Rapunzel? What did you think of Rapunzel taking a chance to pet Little Godzilla? And also, what do you think will happen to the son of the King of the Monsters from this point?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!)
