Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination

By: DJ Rodriguez

(Author's Notes: Hi everyone! How are you all doing? I hope all of you are doing well, and also enjoying the story I have been writing so far! Before I do or say anything else, I really want to give praise and thanks to God. Not only has he helped me out a great deal in moving this mini-novel forward, but also He has been with my family. We have been going through some trying trials for some time, but we all came together with prayer, faith and belief! And it has borne fruit for us! So to Jesus Christ, I want to thanks for looking out not just me, but my family! And also my friends who are all over the world, and reading & reviewing this story! The Lord be so good, it's awesome!

I just celebrated my birthday, which is shown on my profile. So now… I'm thirty-three years old! Not too bad, right? Spent the weekend having a Godzilla-theme party, with my family watching TWO true-school Godzilla movies with me! They were Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla & Godzilla vs. Destroyah. Even my dad said he liked them, and that is saying something right there! Long live the Godzilla of classic and legendary days!

So I want to make this chapter extra special and long, worthwhile and full! So get ready for a battle that I hope pleases each and every one of you! I did glad that you liked my kaiju battle in the previous chapter. Believe me, it was difficult to write! Taking in the landscape environment, each individual monsters that had not just unique abilities and attributes, but also their personalities as well. I really wanted the voices of the Toho monsters to really fit in along with the nature of them as well. Just hope I did Toho and Disney justice when it comes to battles.

Now to thank the reviewers who contributed their words and actions:

To laze jovanov: Thank you for your answers, and also your questions as well! I very much appreciate the info you send me detailing on certain Disney animated series are coming, as well as the upcoming monster movies as well.

To LORD DESTRYUK: Heh, thanks again for the scenario my friend. Though I am flattered that you put me in it, I hope that in the future, you do leave a review of some kind in them. As well as make sure said scenario is also linked to the chapter and/or story. But again, I always like to see what you come up with! Also, hope to see a review from you on my special House of Mouse/Godzilla one-shot!

To DRAGONDAVE45: Thank you for the touching and cool words, my friend! I really just do the best I can with what I got to work with. Believe me, doing monster battles is not easy especially when you try to remain true and faithful to the legends. And your OC characters will be shown their stuff in this chapter in a way I hope you approve of. As for Godzilla using his friend Anguirus as a giant mace of sort… honestly, I don't think I ever seen that being done before. Have to look up some Godzilla comics to find it.

To GODZILLA1996: Thanks for the review! Though surprised that you can actually leave two reviews in one chapter, since I thought that was impossible. Hope you did like it when Godzilla and Biolantte did bond though, as something I really believe that a brother & sister would.

To bluemarvel0: Thanks for the short but sweet review! Really appreciate it, and thanks for wishing me luck. I really want Disney and Toho to take a good, serious look at my series and consider them.

To Darkness Rissing: I understand that it took some time to review. Believe me, I know that work comes first and reviews like yours be worth waiting for! I am glad that I was able to surprise you. Believe me, it was HARD to try and make the monster battles worthy of Toho and Disney. So thanking God again for help in that department.

To Gojira Defender: Hey! Nice to hear from you again! And I understand, family comes first and foremost. Just hope that you and your family will get through its trials and such, to become stronger and closer together. And I know… Disney has been going down, at least in my view, and I hope that they will take a good look at my story. I also sincerely hope that Disney does NOT go down that path, and sticks to the real, true, and wonderful way it has been doing for years. And thanks for the review words, my friend! Hope to see a review from you on my House of Mouse/Godzilla one-shot!

To Kaiju Avenger: Thanks for the review! It's good to hear from you, and I understand. Sometimes I do get a bit lazy myself, but that is when God gives me a bit of a kick start in order to continue forward like this! And yeah… Disney is really sliding down to a bad road, and I hope that we can do something to make sure it stays true, real and good like it has been for so many years. Thanks for answering my questions, and for reviewing! And for the blessing as well! And I hope to see a review from you on my House of Mouse/Godzilla one-shot!

And finally to my lady love Kearitona Sjachraelgil: Thank you very much for reviewing! Like so many, your reviews worth the wait! I'm glad you like it, and I hope you love the battle that will be shown here!

No response yet from Disney on the letter I sent them. Again, I really want to get the company back on track the way it used to be in the true days of it like in the 1980s and 1990s. So everyone, wish me luck! I really hope for the best in that department! And on another note, been checking to see if anyone has made a video review on any of my trilogy series, my mini-novel… heck, even my one-shot special! Nothing yet, but I always check and always hope.

I do not own Godzilla, nor any of the monsters/characters that are officially owned by Toho. Nor do I own any of the characters or places that are officially owned by the Walt Disney Company. Also, I do not own the Earth Eater, Firebird, Energy Beast, and the Crab Cyclopes. Those are monsters created and used in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Godzilla that showed in 1978.

I do own my OC creations, except for these particular ones. Solta Runzi, Magric Korastor, Crazeon & Horruk belong to LORD DESTRYUK completely. He has just given me permission to use them here, so will show them to best of ability. David Howard, Gwendolyn, Sage and Christina belong to DRAGONDAVE45. He has given me permission to use them here, so will display them to best of ability!

I do own some of the music that is shown here. Any I use that is by another artist/artists, I will give him/her/them the full credit and dues as it is their right.

Now, on with the mini-novel!)


Battle of the Millennium

While the Toho titans of legend were fighting against Cosmina's creations, a battle of epic proportions was being waged between the forces of Good and Evil! In fact, the land itself would be changed due to the fighting that was going on between the groups. The left, front and right flanks on Sofia's side were met with such ferocity and strength from Cosmina's shadow & rock force, but held on strong!

Many would often claim that upon seeing someone fighting with such fierce determination, skill, strength and endurance that the being must have gone through Hell. But they never seen arch-angels that fight! These angels were those who willingly chose to be in the Lord's army, to fight against any & all evil. To safeguard those in the mortal realm by being one's guardian/conscience, and protecting them from bad influences. These particular brand of angels had gone through such rigorous training by those like Josiah and more, to sharpen, forge and hone their bodies, spirits, hearts and minds. The truth was that when it came to fighting, these arch-angels were no pushovers!

A majority of the bird-headed Shadow Soldiers had leapt into the air to start their aerial assault, but were met by firepower from the arch-angels that was under the command of General Li Shang & his wife Mulan. The Chinese commanders, along with their friends from their past who had joined up to fight by their side on the mortal plane once more, had waited until the raptor-like enemy was in sight. Shang raised his Chinese sword and commanded, "Steady, heavenly warriors… steady… and… FIRE!". The archangels that held the Asian cannons took aim and let loose with rockets that bore Eastern dragon heads on them! Many of the bird-headed humanoids were caught by surprise by attack, and were caught in blasts of explosive holy energy that disintegrated their bodies on contact! Those that were caught in the shockwave of each blasts were sent tumbling down, still intact but badly damaged.

Some of the shadow creations were crafty though, and used their aerial mobility to their advantage. While not capable of real flight like their real & natural counterparts, they could do barrel rolls and impressive acrobatic feats in midair to evade the dragon heads and shockwave blasts. Similar to how those who skydived from impressive heights in the air. When these soldiers managed to get through the cannons, they believed they had outsmarted their enemy… how wrong they were! From the white smoke of the blasts came forth a large volley of white arrows that struck many of them in various body parts! Screeches of shock & pain tore through the skies as the minions of Cosmina either fell back down to earth, or disintegrated into black dust.

On the ground, Mulan was giving off a confident smirk as she saw a large number of enemies fall to the ground or vanish. Meihui went to her ancestor and spoke, "That was brilliant, Mulan! Using the clouds from the blasts as cover to catch the enemy off-guard with the archers! That was very smart!".

The Chinese beauty smiled at her descendent and replied, "Thank you, Meihui. One thing I learned, both alive and up there in the Heavens, is that you have use your head as well as your body. To keep both sharp!". That was one of the many things that Shang loved about his better half, that she was quite intelligent in many ways.

Yao pointed up and exclaimed, "Heads up! We got more incoming!". Indeed, more bird-headed Shadow Soldiers were still in the air and streaking towards them! Ling pointed to the front and shouted in the same manner that the front lines were starting to strain against the immense tide of Rock Rooks and other Shadow Soldiers that opted to stay on the ground to fight.

Shang looked to the arch-angels and commanded, "We caught them off guard with our cannons and bows, now it's time to meet them in the air! I want the ones who shot with the cannons to fly up and take them down! Archers, stand by and be ready to cover them should they need it!". The many colored & nationality warriors of Heaven all shouted a strong YES SIR to their commander, many now taking to their air on magnificent wings like eagles to meet the evil beings in the sky while those that had the bow & arrows stayed to cover them. Mulan knew that her husband made the right call; while the Chinese cannons had power and a blast radius, it would do more harm than good especially when their allies would be in the fight.

Said Chinese beauty saw that the enemy was slowly advancing, the mortal and heavenly defenders gradually being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers bearing down on them. Mulan looked to Yao, Ling and Chien-Po and ordered, "You three, go to the front lines and see what you can do to help out! Mei, Ting-Ting, Su! Go back them up, and also see if any of our allies need healing or a boost!". The six Asian beings nodded, rushing over to a spot where the front lines needed them the most. Mei was Yao's wife, and she was given the ability to boost the physical strength of any she touched with her hands when they were glowing a light-red color. Ting-Ting, Ling's wife, was given the ability to produce a small but very strong purple energy shield that would safeguard her and those around her from any kind of attack! And Su, Chien-Po's wife, was given the formidable power of healing when she touched someone with her orange-colored hands.

Mulan looked to Meihui, asking on where she would want to go now. The young woman answered, "I'm going to the left flank to find & join Mushu! Will you two be okay here?". The heroine of China nodded, replying that she and her husband would do what they could here. The two women nodded, looking at one another for a bit before Meihui took off towards the left flank where some intense fighting was going on. Mulan looked at her predecessor, feeling very proud to have someone that was continuing her legacy. She heard Shang call out, looking to see him getting ready to fight before glancing upward to see some Shadow Soldiers streaking towards them! These particular ones had managed to get past some of the arch-angels, spears in their hands and were swatting away the arrows that were coming towards them.

The heroine got a fierce look on her face before pulling out some blue-purple war fans from her back. Mulan unfolded them, the edges very sharp and looking like it could slice deep into even a crocodile's hide. She went to Shang and said before going into a pose, "Let's show these bird-brains why they won't win against us!". The general looked to his wife, smirking before going serious with his sword in hand.


~At the right flank~

The mortal and celestial defenders of Enchancia were clashing with the evil creations of Cosmina, the wolf-headed Shadow Soldiers and giant Rock Rooks trying to defeat them with overwhelming numbers & sheer brute force! The black humanoid wolves showed that they had impressive strength, agility, and speed on their side… but that was of little use against David and Gwendolyn Howard! The duo were back to back, attacking/countering the swift beasts in a way that almost looked like a dance. David had activated his sword's special magical ability, blue lighting surging through his blade as he cut through any of the wolves with ease! His wife Gwendolyn had watched his back with her weapon, showing that she wielded the small halberd gracefully & with skill.

David had sliced through two shadow creations with his sword and stated, "These beasts have some impressive abilities, but they lack strategy!". It was true, in a way. While they acted like their natural counterparts to surround and confuse their targets, the creations could not come up with any other higher form of planning. While they did have cunning and intelligence, it was just in the basic sense.

Gwendolyn countered several swift claw & bite strikes before cutting the heads off three Shadow Soldiers, the trio exploding into dust almost immediately. She replied, "True, but that doesn't mean we should let down our guard dear! They're like their mistress, very tricky!". The duo was about to take care of another pack that was coming fast towards them… but their sixth senses started to tell them to jump out of the way. In a battle like this, it paid to listen to it as the two leapt at the last moment to avoid a rock fist that would have slammed into them and turned them into human pancakes! David and Gwen were a bit startled by the attack, turning to their right to glare at a Rock Rook that was staring right back at them.

David exclaimed, "Hey! That was too close! Are you alright, Gwen?!". His wife replied that she was okay, just a bit shaken by the attack that almost nailed them. The giant made of stone roared loudly and sent his left fist over to them, forcing the two to separate. David leapt to his left, and was soon besieged by five wolves while Gwen leapt to the right… and was now face-to-face with the rocky creation.

She glared at the behemoth and muttered, "Now I feel like David who faced Goliath… good thing like him, I don't back down to an enemy despite its size!". Gwendolyn charged at the rook, who groaned loudly and prepared to strike with its right fist. Just as it threw the punch, that is when Mrs. Howard jumped into action! She pushed button on the handle of her weapon, and the blade part shot fast as if it was fired from a cannon! The metal punctured deep into the creature's chest, causing it to groan loudly as its fists went off target due to the pain it was feeling. Gwen smirked as her plan worked, and she pushed the button again to reel herself in closer to the giant!

The brave woman twisted her body slightly to land on her opponent's left shoulder, and upon landing on it she pushed the button again to retract the blade and put it back in place. She smirked as the head of the Rock Rook gazed at her, a bit stunned to see such audacity from its foe. Gwen stated, "Strength and endurance you got. Brains is another story.". She looked down to see that the puncture her weapon put on the creature was slowly closing, but she did managed to catch a glimpse of something golden there. The giant reached out to grab the human with its right hand, but Gwen merely leapt on it and used the appendage to jump onto the head of her enemy.

She smirked once more and tapped the top of the rook's head, which caused it to glance upward and send a punch to her! Gwendolyn waited again for the right moment, than leapt off her enemy. The Rock Rook punched its own forehead, causing it to groan loudly as large chunks of its own cranium flew from impact. She leapt gracefully to the ground, turning to see that her opponent was dazed for the moment. She took aim at the center of its chest one more time, pushing the button and letting her weapon fly free! The metal part struck deep and true, the rook feeling it but not able to do anything since it needed at least a minute or so to regenerate part of its fractured stone head.

Gwendolyn pulled as hard as she could, wanting to get a sizeable chunk out of the chest area so she could see the Heart Stone that was within the rocky giant. She was told about it by the others who had tangled with Cosmina's creation before. However, she did not have the raw strength like her husband had, and only managed to get a small piece out that show the glitter of the golden piece that kept the giant intact and active. She muttered, "Aww, great! Well, I had to least try. Now how can I…?". Before she could finish her train of thought, she saw the crack she made starting to widen which made her pause in confusion.

The crack started to grow steadily until… bursting forth from the chest cavity was Jaq and Deline, the Charming mice of old! The duo had given out a loud yell as they seemingly erupted from the Rock Rook… and in their upheld paws was the golden stone! The giant gave a loud groan of pain as it clutched the spot where the mice came out from.

Gwen was really surprised by this and stated, "What?! But… how?! When did you two get in there?!". The woman was stunned to see them, but her surprise amplified when Jaq actually answered back with tangible words. He answered that he and Deline had seen the rook coming for her and David earlier, so they managed to enter the body through a crack that had formed on the back of the right leg of the giant. Deline added that it was scary and dangerous in there, but they managed to find the Heart Stone but didn't have a way to get it out of it. Now Gwen saw that her maneuver had allowed Cinderella's old companions to find a way to get out and take the weak spot with them.

Jaq and Deline put the stone on the ground quickly, and that is when Gwen brought down her halberd hard on it! The golden trinket was split in half, and the Rock Rook groaned loudly before its eyes ceased glowing & it crumbled to rubble quickly! They had won!

Mrs. Howard smiled at her new small friends and spoke, "Thanks for the help! Heh… not sure I've ever thanked mice before, especially ones that talk. But… first time for anything, I guess!". The Charming mice smiled back and nodded, Deline asking if they could go with her as it was a bit dangerous at the moment to go by foot. She answered in a positive, holding down her hand so the two little couple could scamper up onto it.

Gwendolyn turned to where she saw her husband last, and saw that he was holding his own against the five Shadow Soldiers that had attacked him earlier… with some help from the legendary Native American princess Pocahontas by his side! David was defending himself against three of the wolf-headed minions while the nature-loving dark skinned woman was handling two of them. She was covered in a white aura that seemed to resemble a bear, or to be more specific it was a Grizzly bear. The powerful magical construct was following the commands of the princess, as if her body was its own. A white paw each held the black predators at bay, the two wolves snarling and snapping their jaws at Pocahontas.

The Native American beauty stated, "Ugh! You two maybe alphas… but even the most mightiest of beasts would never dare mess with a mother bear!". Digging deep into the spirit of the animal that was overshadowing her, Pocahontas let out a loud yell… and the bear spirit let out a roar that caused the Shadow Soldiers to pause & flinch from the powerful sound! Pocahontas swiped her left hand hard, the bear following the commands and sending one of the wolves flying before it disintegrated in mid-flight! Its partner howled and snarled nastily at her, but the princess was not having it. She used the great strength of the Grizzly to send another swat that it flying & disintegrating in mid-flight.

Gwen went to Pocahontas, who put the spirit of the mighty alpha back into her body. Its ability of great strength was still active within her so she could still defend herself. Mrs. Howard said, "Now that was amazing! You sure put those overgrown mutts in their place!".

Pocahontas blushed slightly from the compliment and replied, "Thank you for your words. But these abominations disgrace the real wolves, whom I know very much!". The two than heard a loud war cry, and turned to see David slicing off the heads of the wolves in one stroke! He had managed to outmaneuver their claw and fang attacks, and got them all together in a formation of sort before bringing down his broadsword to behead the shadow minions who instantly turned to dust when the metal cut into their being.

Mr. Howard let out a sigh and saw the two ladies giving him small smiles. He returned the gesture and stated, "Glad you came to help us, Pocahontas. We need your skills and strength greatly here!". As if on cue after that, the three looked to the west to see a pack of crazed Shadow Soldiers rushing to them! All three got serious faces on, and prepared for another round against their enemies.

In another part of the area, Lady Benedikta and her small but potent army was doing great damage to both rook and soldier! The female Mountain troll leader/warrior was swinging her reforged battle axe, whom she gave called Evil Cutter in her native tongue for its sole purpose was to decimate any and all evil. She, her apprentice Håvard and several Mountain troll warriors were taking on two large Rock Rooks! Cosmina's creations were swinging their fists as swiftly as possible, but the denizens of the North Mountain were quite nimble and agile despite the heavy armor they wore which demonstrated their physical strength! Lady Benedikta looked to one of the rooks, than to her apprentice. She called out, "Okay, my student… show me the fruits of your training!".

Håvard nodded, the male Mountain troll rushing swiftly to the legs of his opponent, with his staff at the ready. This particular staff was unique; carved from Norway spruce wood, imbued to be quite resilient in battle and to handle various magical energies. The top part was special since it was hand-carved to have the head and opening maw of Godzilla! Håvard reached the right leg, made a small leap, focusing and concentrating earth-brown magical energy that came from the opening maw. He shot his staff forward, and a small but powerful beam of raw magical energy shot forth and struck the behemoth at the kneecap!

The giant rocky warrior groaned loudly as its right leg was greatly injured, making it to go down on one knee. Håvard did not stop, soon changing direction and heading towards the other rook who looked down at him with anger. The apprentice smirked slightly and whispered, "Time to turn you into rubble, fool!". He saw his enemy bring its right fist down to bear on him, but he merely waited until the time was right… than leapt up before the stone fist could hit him, landed on the arm & ran up along it before leaping off and cutting right through where the elbow area was at like a hot knife through butter! The giant groaned loudly at the loss of its arm, and was trying to regenerate it when it was soon brought down by several female & male Mountain troll warriors.

The unit had used their potent weapons to reduce the legs of the creation down to size, causing it to tumble down and they started to immediately hack away with their weapons at the chest area. They soon found the Heart Stone within the newly formed chest cavity, one of the females taking it and crushing it in her right hand!

Lady Benedikta was proud of her warriors, and of her apprentice who handled himself quite well. Håvard had managed to control his magical energies, making sure to use just the right amount to bring his foes down without wasting any of it. He was also swift and confident, never arrogant which was what Lady Benedikta admired in a being. The matriarch of the North Mountain tribe looked to the kneeling Rock Rook that her apprentice took down earlier, and saw that its right leg was almost fully regenerated. She looked to Håvard, who was now by her side and asked, "Care to give me a hand in dealing the final blow to this fool?". He replied that it would be a pleasure… and the duo attacked!

The powerful woman rushed forward to the rocky monster, doing an uppercut motion to her foe with her weapon that was quite devastating and caused a really sizeable gash right into the creature's rocky body! The giant groaned loudly from the hit, the attack causing its body to recoil upward and exposing the chest area. Håvard whispered quietly in an incantation, the staff's head glowing with green energy this time. Calling forth the might of nature itself, he shot forth a basketball-sized orb of energy at Cosmina's creation! The sphere impacted squarely in the chest, the result was an explosion that really rocked the rocky giant! The Rock Rook stumbled back, its leg almost healed up and now back on both feet. The smoke cleared, and the duo could see that the explosion caused significant cracks and fractures in the chest.

Lady Benedikta smirked and stated, "Your time has come, true monster! HIYAH!". She leapt at the giant, Evil Cutter held high in her hands before it was swung down at a diagonal angle. This cut not only through the weakened chest area… but also cut the Heart Stone that was within it cleanly in half! The rook groaned loudly as its chest was destroyed, and falling out was the golden object cut cleanly in two. The eyes of the giant faded, and soon the rest of the body crumbled to dust.

The two warriors looked satisfied at their handiwork, both Lady Benedikta and Håvard glad to have defeated the nuisance. They looked around to see that many more were still coming in, and that the mortal and celestial warriors were holding their own heroically against the swarm of enemies. Thunder and lightning coming from the clouds above got their attention, causing them to look upward. The matriarch said, "I do hope that little princess and the others are doing what they can to get rid of this evil-charged storm…". Lady Benedikta was worried about Princess Amber, but also confident that she would be able to do something about the un-natural storm with the help she had with her.

Håvard remarked, "I am sure the little one will be fine. In the meantime… we still got some pests to take care of.". She agreed with him, and the duo charged with back-up right behind them!


~In the air~

While Sofia's army was busy dealing with Cosmina's forces on the ground, Princess Amber was high in the air with her new allies/friends. The little lady was taking point, behind her was Mama Odie & Radelle on Carpet while flanking them on both sides were Vidia & her team of Fast Flying-talented pixies. They were charging right through the evil-magically charged thundercloud, and the fairies started to feel quickly the effects. They felt weaker within the creation, going a bit slower than usual and feeling like they were weighed down. However, the two voodoo users found a way to shield them from the deadly effects. The duo used their staffs to create a light aura shield around them, covering each pixie in a layer of thin but strong golden light that eased the toxic effects of the storm.

Amazingly, Princess Amber did not need this as her armor was protecting her from the adverse effects.

Said royal one looked behind her and spotted Vidia. She exclaimed over the noise of the thunder, "If you have any suggestions right now on how we can get rid of this storm, I'm open to suggestions… AHHH!". Before she could completely finish her sentence, a bolt of lightning streaked towards her! Acting on reflex, she stopped in mid-air and moved out of the way just in time as the lighting streaked past her and the others.

Vidia flew to the startled princess and inquired if she was okay, Amber clutching her heart and taking a few breaths to calm down before answering that she was okay… but felt that little surprise took a bit of years off her life. Vidia chuckled softly than answered Amber's previous question, "Me and my team of pixies can fly fast enough to literally cut through the clouds and disrupt this storm. Problem is, it might take a while due to all this thunder and lightning.". She also put in with the cloud charged by evil magic, they would have to put some extra muscle into it to cut through.

Amber nodded and said, "Well, it's a start. I'll see on what I can do since I can't fly fast as you… LOOK OUT!". Acting again on reflex, she grabbed Vidia with her right hand and pulled her out of the way. Just in time as a hawk-faced Shadow Soldier had just shot out from under her, clawed-hand extended as if it was about to grab her! The pixies all yelped upon seeing the fiend, and scattered. Just in the nick of time too, as suddenly many bird-faced minions of Cosmina started to pop out from beneath the clouds before dropping back down in them.

Radelle and her student frowned at this, the elder African-American woman speaking, "Now that's odd… these fools don't have wings, so how can they get up here? Carpet honey, take us down a bit to have a little look-see below!". Carpet nodded, and flew down fast below the cloud level to give the two ladies a better view.

When they broke through the storm cloud, Odie and Radelle saw that many of the bird Shadow Soldiers were leaping quite high into the air from the ground towards the clouds… than they bent their heads down to fire off their sinister Ebony Eraser beams from their beaks to give them an extra boost like rockets! Mama Odie stated, "Got to give it to them bad birds, they are crafty.". Radelle had to agree with her on that, and told Carpet to go back up into the sky to tell the others.

Above, Vidia looked at the princess who was still holding her in her hand. She said, "Thanks for saving me back there. But… how did you know it was coming up?". Amber gently released her hold on the pixie and answered that she felt something coming from above, which she couldn't explain properly. What the little beauty didn't know was that her new armor also gifted her with abilities that were similar to the first Mothra that appeared in the Toho universe in 1961! It granted to her the gift of sixth sense! Not as advanced like some who had trained to really utilize that particular sense, but still enough to feel when danger is near.

In a few moments, Carpet popped back up from the clouds and Mama Odie called for all to huddle in. Once they were close enough to the elderly Light-user, she reported, "Them shadow fools are using some weird beams from their beaks to give them an extra boost to come on up here. I reckon that they got wind of what we were doing up here, so they're jumping high to try and stop us.". One of the Fast Flying pixies groaned that it just wasn't enough about the evil magic and lighting, but now they had to contend with scary humanoid birds as well now.

Vidia got a scary look on her face as she exclaimed, "Hey! Don't complain and whine on us now! We got a job to do, so let's try to do it! Complaining and such isn't going to help us much!". She was right of course, but it seemed that the job to disperse the clouds was indeed becoming increasingly difficult. Amber was trying to think, pushing her brain as hard as she could to help her new friends.

She thought, 'Think! Come on Amber, think! There has got to be a way to help here! Come on…!'. As her brain was working in overtime, something flowed into it which was information! The heavenly armor that was gifted to her was telling its owner on what her abilities were, and she spotted some that she knew could help them all out. After a few moments of going over each ability, she sent a silent prayer of thanks to God before looking to her allies.

The princess exclaimed, "Hey! I think I just found a way to really help out! I can weaken the storm with my wings!". Seeing their puzzled faces, Amber explained that she just gained some knowledge on her current abilities & that one of them was a certain kind of powder that was stored on her wings. The golden powder had mystical properties that would disrupt the evil magic in the clouds, weakening them enough for the Fast Fliers to cut through them with ease! It would also weaken the lightning bolts, but not by much. But still, it was better than nothing. Amber stated that she could fly around high above them, using her wings to release the powder and disperse enough of it to weaken a section of the clouds.

Radelle spoke, "I got to say child, that is one sweet ability you got! And your plan isn't that bad either!".

Vidia exclaimed, "Okay now, let's do this! It's time to clear the skies! Amber, do your stuff! We're right behind you!". Mama Odie added to not worry about the Shadow Soldiers, as she and Radelle would take care of them good next time with their staves/clubs. Amber saw the faces of determination on all of them, each one willing to go with her idea. A good kind of pride filled up inside of her, and she too was starting to be filled with a determination to do her best as well.

The princess stated, "Alright than… LET'S GO!". She was almost starting to act like her sister whenever she went off on one of her adventures! Amber flapped her wings hard as she started to move in a tight circle pattern, sparkling golden scales leaving her wings and sprinkling on the dark clouds. The evil-charged magic within them started to disintegrate, small red lighting sparks shooting off before the cloud thinned and dissipated. The group was very relived & pleased to see that Amber's Poison Powder technique had done the job! She smirked and now started to fly forward, spreading her powder all over the clouds. The Fast-Flying pixies followed her, using their intense speed and magic that was covering their bodies to make the clouds pop out of existence the moment their evil-charged magic weakened considerably.

Amber continued onward, looking behind and down when the clouds had been destroyed, to see that she was over the battlefield. It made her nervous, and a bit scared, to see such an intense and ferocious war being waged. But she swallowed the fear, knowing that her family and friends were counting on her to clear the skies. She thought, 'I better just clear the skies that are directly above them. It'll take too long to try and cover the whole area.'. She was right, as the thunderstorm Cosmina created had spread over a very wide area and it would simply take too much time to get every square inch.

A lightning bolt shot forth from one of the dark areas of the sky! Though it was slightly weaker thanks to Amber's powder, it was still strong enough to take her out in one hit! The electrical bolt streaked towards her, the princess so focused on her work that she failed to see it in time! She gasped and winced, bracing for impact. However, a shout and a smacking sound filled the air! Amber didn't feel any kind of pain overtake her, and she peeked her eyes open to see Mama Odie on Carpet with her club out. The lightning bolt had been deflected by the club, the large blunt end covered in golden light that smacked the deadly projectile away from Amber! The elderly woman had used her club like a baseball bat, and smacked the bolt away like it was a baseball!

She looked to the startled little lady and stated, "Ha! That was good! Don't worry child, we got you covered! Right there, Rug Man?". Carpet's front nodded like a head, showing to all that he agreed with the feisty elderly African-American woman. Amber thanked them for the save, and started to take off again to spread more of the powder… when she looked down to see many Shadow Soldiers leaping from the ground and streaking towards them!

Vidia went to Amber and exclaimed, "Come on Amber, let's continue on! Mama Odie and Radelle will take care of these nuisances! Let's go!". The princess of Enchancia regained her courage, and flew off to another section of the sky.

One of the several shadowy minions that was streaking like a missile towards its target opened its beak, intending to finish the small upstarts with its Ebony Eraser move. Black energy charged up in its sharp beak, and the eagle-faced fiend was about to fire… when a staff charged with light bonked him hard on the head from behind, causing its mouth to clamp down automatically on reflex! The energy was disrupted, and a small explosion occurred in the beak & mouth area of the fool, who slowly started to disintegrate as he dropped back down to earth.

Radelle and Mama Odie were pleased with their work, than looked to see the comrades of the fallen soldiers now around the duo & Carpet, all looking rather ticked off. The teacher of Odie stood up as tall as could be, seeing that it was no problem to maintain balance on Carpet despite the height and wind. She held up her staff and declared loud and proud like her ancestors of old, "Alright you bird rejects… who wants a piece of us!?".

The living rug and two African-American women were ready to rumble!


~Left flank~

The left side of the battlefield was chaotic to say the least, as many wolf Shadow Soldiers and giant Rock Rooks were taking on not just fighters that used physical attacks, but also many who were utilizing projectiles and other techniques that were long-range! The Enchantress Rosalie and Fairy Godmother Cateline were working together as a team to send various spells at their enemies. The magical beings had changed various shadow beings to small rodents and birds, and some of the rocky giants to large ceramic decorations and such. However, the two were getting slightly winded for two reasons. One, they were using a great deal of magic & physical energy in this fight. They had not done something like this ever since the battle against Maleficent's copy many years ago, when Godzilla and his fellow monster friends arrived in the Disney universe.

The second reason was that each of the soldiers were enhanced greatly thanks to the corrupted Amulet of Avalor, so they had to put in great effort in order to affect the changes.

Cateline and Rosalie had just finished transforming two shadow minions into black mice, when they were set upon by a Rock Rook that had managed to power its way towards them! The two raised their wands, but they were sluggish due to exhaustion and were about to be smashed by a rocky fist… when searing flames scorched the giant! The monster of rock and evil magic groaned loudly in pain from the blast, the fire apparently of magical nature that was intense. The creature staggered back, and the two fair ladies looked to see that the one shooting the flames was… Mushu! The red Chinese dragon had grown into his Guardian-form and was really letting the rook have it!

Normally, fire would not do much damage against rock. However, Mushu's dragon flames were naturally stronger than normal flames, and thus was able to do some moderate damage to the rocky creation!

Mushu extinguished the flames from his maw, than looked down at the two magical beings with a grin on his face. He exclaimed, "Awww, yeah! That is what I'm talking about! I am da dragon! Heh, I bet even old lizard butt Godzilla can take some lessons from me.". Rosalie and Cateline rolled their eyes, as did some of their allies nearby. Apparently, it wasn't just size and power that grew when Mushu adopted this form.

Fairy Godmother Cateline called out, "Thank you for the assistance, Mr. Mushu! We're a bit tired from using so much of our magic, but we will go on! We just need a second wind…". Before she could say anything else, several wolf-headed Shadow Soldiers rushed towards them at blinding speed! They snarled and pounced, their clawed arms extended to take the duo down! Mushu saw this, and growled before raising his tail to swipe the foes away.

However, someone beat him to it! Four small arrows that were covered in ice flew fast and free towards the pack, striking down four as they were encased completely in solid ice! And two ring-like silver weapons zoomed by to strike the remaining three! One of the rings bounced off the head of one of the wolves to strike another in the head, causing all three fools to fall down to the ground hard. The rings bounced off the leg of the stunned rook that was still in pain from Mushu's attack, and returned to the owner who threw them. Mushu, Rosalie and Cateline turned to see that the ones who saved them was Megara and Esmeralda!

Meg and her companion went to the trio and stated, "It seems that you three can use some back up. Mind if we join you?".

Mushu replied, "Heh, I don't mind at all, little lady! The more the merrier, especially in this crazy battlefield!". He saw the rook getting up, and was ready to fight it up close and personal! The damage was healed thanks to the regeneration ability, but the outer surface of the rock monster stayed black and burnt. Mushu let out a roar of primal power as he lunged at his foe, grappling with Cosmina's creation.

Rosalie looked to Meg & Esmeralda and inquired, "Do any of you have any healing abilities or potions that might restore our vigor and magical energies?".

The gypsy beauty dancer answered, "I got just the thing! Now hold still you two. And… HIYAH!". She threw her chakram weapons at the two magical beings, and the rings started to spin around them as if in orbit. The silver rings spun around them fast, quickly encasing them in a faint silver barrier which in reality was the weapons themselves only spinning around the duo at such speed that it looked to form a barrier.

Rosalie and Cateline were a bit puzzled, until they were encased in a green glowing aura that gradually started to restore their energy! Esmeralda said, "Whew! This is good… it seems that the Body Boost ability is fixing their magic reserves.". Meg remarked that it was quite a gamble to take, especially when she found out from her friend that her rings only boosted one ability at random. And from the look of it, Rosalie and Cateline had gotten the Magic Restoration effect, which doubled the regeneration ability of one's magical energy! The effect only lasted for thirty minutes, but it was better than nothing.

After five minutes, the process was complete and the rings slowed down considerably before returning to their owner. Rosalie stretched a little bit and said, "That feels much better! I can feel that my magical reserves are gaining more energy faster than ever! Thank you very much, Esmeralda!". She replied that it was no problem. The four ladies heard something tremendous fall, and they turned to see Mushu standing over the rook that he fought. Inside the dragon's maw, clenched between his fangs was the Heart Stone! He had dived his long muzzle into the chest of the giant, smashing right through the hard stone area and taking out the life-source of the creature! He crunched down hard, destroying the object and causing the Rock Rook to let out a final groan before crumbling into a pile of rubble.

The fiery partner of Meihui laughed and exclaimed, "Hahaha! Now that is what I'm talking about! The mighty dragon conquers all, baby!". His victory was cut short when he started to shrink in size, soon becoming his Normal-form which was small. He looked at himself, than to the ladies who all raised an eyebrow at him & he chuckled/grinned sheepishly.

Meg smirked and remarked, "It seems the mighty dragon has just been cut down to size, wouldn't you say?". Mushu laughed nervously, than grumbled something about sarcastic women who give him no respect. The four ladies chuckled softly at the antics of the small dragon, than were quickly reminded that they were on a battlefield when two Rock Rooks and several wolf Shadow Soldiers rushed fast to meet them! The four ladies were ready to rumble, Mushu also ready… though he scampered on and was now on the left shoulder of Cateline. The nine large foes barreled towards the women… only to see four long arrows streaking towards the wolves, each one encased in forest-green energy!

Upon impact, the wolves that got hit were entangled with strong vines that wrapped tightly around them like pythons! The shadow minions struggled to get free, but the vines only grew tighter and immobilized them. The group paused only for a micro-second to see on what was happening, and that was when something else struck them. Two blurs passed by them, one going to a rook. One was a familiar face that Meg knew all too well, the lovely & sassy lady smirking as she saw the giant rock monster's left leg explode into dust due to a single, powerful blow! It let out a groan as it fell down to the ground with a resounding boom, and when the dust settled… it was revealed that the person who delivered the blow was Meg's own husband & soulmate, Hercules!

He looked to the five, smiling warmly at his wife who only chuckled and shook her head. Hercules said, "I would have said timber, but I realized this one is made of stone and not wood.". He and the others soon looked to the other rook, and saw that it was trying to swat something off that was leaping towards its face. The other blur from earlier turned out to be Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame and husband to Madellaine!

Rosalie stated, "I will have to give this to the young man, he is more resilient and nimble than one gives him credit for.". Indeed, the hunchback with a strong & gentle soul was leaping and hopping all along the stone block formations that protruded out from the Rock Rook. He was indeed acrobatic as he leapt towards the face of his enemy, who tried to swat him like a fly but was unable to. Quasi had on his back a spiked mace that was enchanted to be extremely durable in any kind of condition, and he was about to use that mace now! Upon reaching the face of his foe, he leapt up to dodge another swat, took out his weapon… and with a mighty yell, brought down the weapon on the rook's face! It easily caved in, given the tremendous strength that lied within Quasimodo! The giant let out a groan of pain as it stumbled about before being forced to go to one knee, the hunchback leaping down to safety as he beheld his handiwork.

He spoke, "Whew… that was close. These stone giants are strong, but thankfully not that smart.". He walked towards the group, who were glad to see that he was okay. Three of the shadow beasts that had managed to avoid getting entangled like their comrades, they had managed to get their wits about them & were now charging towards Quasimodo! The hunchback felt the hairs on his hump-shaped back rise from danger, and he turned to see the three powerful evil beings streaking towards him. However, he did not flinch or run… nor even defend himself. He just stood his ground, with a smirk on his face. The others were a bit puzzled by this…

Until a powerful torrent of flames came from behind & above the French warrior, striking and turning the trio of Shadow Soldiers to ash!

Mushu exclaimed in surprise, "What the heck was that?! Who did that?!". Hercules and Quasimodo smirked at the small dragon, and looked to where the flames had come from. Coming on the scene now was Nakoma, the friend of Pocahontas who was carrying a bow with a quiver of arrows on her back. She was the one who fired the four arrows earlier! And beside her was Lumière and his lady love Babette! The former candlestick holder had small fireballs coming from his hand, and his beautiful wife had a faint showing of wind around her own. It would appear that they were given elemental abilities due to what they were when under Rosalie's curse many years ago. Babette was once a feather duster, so it was only natural that she was given power over wind. Luimère had been a candlestick holder, so naturally fire was his element in a way. Such as his burning love and passion for his lady love.

Cateline saw this and said, "I see. You, young man, used your power in combination with the young lady's. The wind amplified the fire, creating that pillar of flames that destroyed those creatures.".

Lumière smiled as he answered, "But of course, madam! And this young lady here is the one who shot those arrows earlier. She is quite the skilled archer, yes?". He gestured to Nakoma, who smiled and blushed slightly from the praise. The group soon came together as one, looking around as they were soon again besieged by many enemies.

Megara stated, "Well everyone, time to get back to work! No rest for us heroes and heroines right now!". The company nodded, getting ready for another round of battle!


~At the front lines~

While both flanks and those in the air were receiving heavy assaults from the enemy… it was truly the very front of the battlefield that was incredible! A sight to behold as the bonded of the Toho kaiju, their families and friends were fighting in that particular area where a majority of Cosmina's major heavy hitters were at! Sofia, James, Miranda and Roland were also on the front lines, doing their best for their friends & allies as they fought as well!

Pastor Rick Wing was battling against many of the Shadow Soldiers, the old but determined disciple of Christ using his short sword and shield to great effect. If one were to see him fight, they would compare him to the classic knights or warriors of old as he fought with resolve and strength against such odds! Aiding him was General Jackson Dashboard & General Raven Rissing! The elderly warrior from the Marcel-Oxen land was using duel sabers, slicing through his foes with skill and speed rather than using brute force. Like Pastor Rick, he looked old but fought with a strength that would impress those younger than he was. And the young general from Arendelle was swinging his scythe to great effect, showing he had skill with it that was indeed a sight to see! As he fought against the waves of foes coming their way, he looked a bit like a reaper itself, an Angel of Death of old!

Rick blocked a claw strike from a hawk-faced shadow minion before quickly thrusting his sword into its chest, the fiend screeching in pain before exploding into dust. He looked to his comrades and stated, "That makes twenty for me! How many do you have?!". He had to yell due to the intense sound of battle all around them.

Gen. Dashboard answered, "I'm in the lead with twenty-five! And Rissing here has twenty-three…". Before he could finish, a wolf and two eagle-headed Shadow Soldiers leapt at them from a great distance. Before any of them could reach their quarry, Rissing leapt gracefully out to meet them… and swung his scythe to slash deep into the bodies of the fools as they let out final cries before exploding into dust.

Rissing turned to his allies with a smirk and stated, "I believe I am in the lead now with twenty-six. The little wager we made earlier will soon be mine once this battle is through!". It was Dashboard that made a little bet; those who killed most of the enemy forces would get the best wine from the losers. And bragging rights for a full year. Jackson told them his son William was about to get married soon, to a beautiful and wonderful little lady named Angelique that had managed to help him change for the better. And he would like something special to bring to the wedding, which was scheduled in just three months' time. Thus, the wines.

The trio was ready to face off against more foes, when two Rock Rooks managed to push on through despite the heavy defense from the Defenders. The large rock giants came at them, fists ready to deliver a serious blow to the three men! They got ready to defend and counter should the time arise… but a being flew past them and towards the rooks! It was the arch-angel Josiah, who let out a powerful war cry as he delivered a powerful kick to the chest of one of them, his sandal-covered foot impacting the stone and creating a massive dent in it that showed many cracks and fissures forming on the chest area! He then quickly turned his attention to the other beside it, and thrust with his double-edged sword that penetrated deep into its chest! The action happened so swiftly that many were in awe at seeing it. The two rocky monster let out groans as they fell down to the ground, several arch-angels flocking to the fallen ones to finish it off by destroying the Heart Stones within them.

The formidable heavenly warrior turned his attention to the mortal fighters and stated, "Focus on the war at hand, look to your little game later!". He was correct, as all around them fierce battles were being fought by mortal and celestial warriors alike against the evil creations of Cosmina. Rick, Jackson and Raven nodded before rushing together with Josiah by their side against more minions that seemed to be swelling in numbers like an ocean tide.

Meanwhile, Sofia the First and her family was cutting through many of the formidable creations. With the help of their new armor, as well as the aid of Jet Jaguar and the other bonded, the royal ones of Enchancia started to slowly make their way towards where their quarry was at… straight towards the sorceress Cosmina!

James was teaming up with Jet Jaguar, the android showing he was quite capable of being both a teammate and bodyguard for the lad. The prince was utilizing the gifts of his heavenly-forged armor, both the defensive measures it gave him & the various martial arts/wrestling moves that was now in his mind. He and Jet used double-teaming moves to take down any shadow fiend that came their way, such as double-drop kicks and using slashing/karate chops together in a kind of rhythm that was unique only to them. One would have to compare it to the teaming up of martial arts movie stars Jackie Chan & Jet Li!

While the duo was handling their foes, Miranda and Roland were showing to all on just how a truly a dedicated couple they were. The king was using his special-crafted lance to spear at any Shadow Solider that dared to attack him and his wife, piercing right through them or batting them away fiercely. He also utilized the spiked back portion of his armor, turning around and leaping forward to let the spikes stab & knock away the fiends who used leaping/pouncing attacks on him. In a way, he was using the same stradegy that Anguirus used when he entered into a fight!

Miranda was also doing her part to make sure her husband was safe as well, using the special vine bullwhips to great effect! Any minions of Cosmina that managed to slip by Roland was met with a powerful whip to the face or body, the secreting acid from the thorn tips on them doing a remarkable job of dealing extra damage. And when the Shadow Soldiers used their Ebony Eraser techniques on the duo to try and overwhelm them with energy attacks, she called forth a plant bulb that covered herself and Roland to protect them from the blast! And when the fools were done, the bulb opened to reveal the royal adults unharmed… and more than ready to battle!

It was Sofia that shined in the fight, being aided by Solta & Lisa Runzi, Magric & Barbara Korastor, the transformed Beast, Elsa, Azad, Regina and Alice as they pushed through the hordes of evil monsters! The princess used her sword to cut through the shadow minions, defending and counter-attacking when need be that so that the evil ones would be damaged and distracted enough for her allies to finish the job. She was also utilizing her shield to great effect, defending and absorbing either physical blows or energy ones that tried to hit her. Once she had gained enough power, the dorsal-like spines on her back would glow blue and the shield would let loose a burst of blue energy that would decimate an entire group!

Sofia the First was nervous and scared as anyone would be in a battle this immense and fierce, but she had overcome her fear with the help of her family & friends… and mostly with the aid of the Holy Spirit flowing through her! Courage and determination were rising within her like a storm!

In the distance, Cosmina was glaring as she saw the princess with her allies steadily getting closer to her. The sorceress had been sitting on her makeshift throne the entire time, barking out orders to her forces and casually sending out bolts of evil magic to random mortal or celestial fighter. It was an unusual twist; Commander Sofia was fighting directly in the heart of the battle while she was just sitting down and ordering her forces about from safety.

Cosmina's forces, while many, were being devastated by the enemy! She looked to her two captains and ordered, "Go you two! Show the upstarts why you should be feared!". Horruk the large Stone Captain let out a loud groan before stomping over to Sofia & her allies, while Crazeon screeched and took to the skies on his skeletal-like wings, ready to rip and tear into those that dare defied his empress!

Sofia saw the two massive monsters coming, the lower ranked Shadow Soldiers and Rock Rooks parting quickly to avoid being stomped on by Horruk. She looked to her allies and asked, "Can you all take care of them while me, my mom and dad go to Cosmina?".

Solta got a serious look on his face as he focused on the two captains coming in. He answered, "Of course, your Highness! Lisa, Beast, and Alice! You are with me! We got that walking mountain!". Said beings nodded and rushed over to where he was at.

Magric added, "That leaves the nightmarish bird to us! Barbara, Azad, Elsa and Regina! Time to pick it up!". The mentioned people nodded, and the gathered together as their focus now was on the enhanced captains that Cosmina made. Sofia got ready herself, Miranda and Roland quickly going to their daughter to protect and back her up.

The battle was about to get intense from here on in!


(Author's Notes: And… cut! Whew… this was a chapter to work on! So many characters… so little time! Just glad I managed to finish it before my family vacation trip with my family.

Before I say anything else, I want to once again give praise and thanks to God for helping me out here with this chapter! Lord, thank you once more for the gift of imagination that you have given me! And also for the wonderful people that have been kind enough to aid me, either through PM's or reviews. I am grateful for all that you have given me God, and I never want to take it… or you for granted. So again, everything goes to you Jesus! Thank you!

Like I stated before, this chapter was tough to make! So many characters with so many abilities, it was a bit of a headache to do! But also fun as well, wanting to see on how to really make the fights/battles more interesting. I do believe that many of you could probably have done better than I when it comes to making fights. I'm a bit of an intermediate when it comes to making war scenarios and such, so I am still learning.

In the next chapter, see the titanic battle between the captains Horruk and Crazeon against the forces of Good! And also see Sofia, Roland and Miranda chase after Cosmina with James and Jet Jaguar following them! I really do hope to bring justice to both Disney and Toho when it comes to stuff like this. Also, I really do hope and pray that my letters get through to Disney. I really want to bring back the company to what it used to be before all of these remakes started to come in…

Also, if any of you wish to help me in getting me series recognized by Disney and Toho, please do so. Any form would be appreciated by me.

Now for the questions:

If it was up to you, which position would you fight in and what kind of style of fighting would you use?

If you were in the air with Amber and the others, what kind of plan would you suggest to them? And how would you protect them from both the lightning bolts and the Shadow Soldiers that leapt up to them?

What would you say to Mushu after seeing his display of fighting prowess?

Which Disney character would you team up with to take on the horde of Shadow Soldiers & Rock Rooks?

And finally… what kind of advice would you give to Sofia concerning her trek towards Cosmina?

R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!)
