Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hi everyone! How are you all doing? Thanks for reviewing my chapters, really appreciate it! Thank you God and Jesus for giving me this incredible imagination, and for sharing it with others!
Also, just to give you a little sneak preview. Elsa will be paired with someone, but it's a secret! Hehehe… I'll give you a hint! He comes from the land of the sand, and while opposite to Elsa, both will compliment and complete one another in ways that will surprise them both! But in a good way!
Okay now, here we go! In this chapter, Godzilla and Little Godzilla get more used to their surroundings with their bonded. Some cool and zany actions will ensue, ones worthy of Disney himself! Also, I made the children like they are because back in my day when I was little, we all loved to see monsters like Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, etc. and more because they were so cool and mind-blowing! So, I transferred what I felt when I was little here to the children in both books.
I do not own Godzilla or any of the monsters and/or characters that belong to Toho, nor do I own any of the Disney characters and places. I do own my OC creations, and most of the music here. If I use a song that is by another artist, I will give him/her/them their just dues and credits.
Now, on with the novel!)
Chapter 30
At Arendelle, there was much activity at the village. The citizens of the kingdom were all talking, some going off into gossip and rumor, on the situation in their kingdom. And the source of the activity came stomping into the village square, walking towards the castle. It was Godzilla, the King of the Monsters that had revealed himself to the people to protect his bonded! Said bonded; Elsa, Anna, Regina and Alice were walking ahead of him, in what seemed to be like a procession. Olaf was walking in front of Elsa, still a bit uneasy to walk anywhere around Godzilla.
Behind the saurian were the little ones and young adults, the children cheering in joy at having their very own monster to protect them! Godzilla proved it when he defended the four women against the Duke, who was now on his way to the castle to be thrown into one of the cells, along with his henchmen. By Elsa's side was Captain Raven Rissing, the leader of the kingdom's military force, and he seemed to be both exhausted and amazed.
He spoke softly to his queen, "So, let me see if I can get everything straight and for the record. One, this… Godzilla is from another universe entirely. Second, he came down in that green falling star we saw some days ago and crashed into North Mountain. Third, you and Princess Anna found him AND nursed him back to health. Fourth, you two managed to come up with a plan to divert our attention so that he could follow you to Arendelle and the castle. Am I getting all of this right so far?". Elsa and Anna nodded, the lovely ladies having a smile on their faces as they remembered the events that had all transpired when they met Godzilla. Luckily, Elsa kept her promise in leaving out the Mountain Trolls and their kingdom in the mountains.
Raven continued, "Okay then. Now, you and Anna managed to keep him a secret and also started to feed him every morning and evening. Now, in comes Miss Regina and Mrs. Alice who also have some ties to Godzilla due to an event from sixteen years ago. And also, he defended you four plus Olaf, Kristoff and Sven from a large Rock Wyrm monster that came out from the base of North Mountain. And now, he came to protect you from the Duke from the cannon fire. That IS everything, right?". The young man was still reeling from the events that had happened for the day, and just wanted to put this on the official record to be written down later.
Anna answered, "It's all true, Captain. Every single word of it.". She heard a squeal of delight, and turned to see a twin brother/sister duo laughing as they rode on Godzilla's thick, strong left leg. The beautiful brunette had a wide smile on, very much enjoying seeing the children having fun and trusting in such a powerful and big beast to not hurting them. Godzilla seemed a little annoyed, but just endured it.
Captain Rissing sighed and said, "Good. I'll tell my men to go out and search for Kristoff and Sven, so that we may have a word with them.". The young man made a promise to himself to get a strong drink that could help him cope with the current situation. He thought that all of this had happened, and he was none the wiser?! While he did avoid alcohol when he could, he admitted that a strong drink would be necessary after all of this.
Regina saw the look of frustration on the captain's face, and felt a little sorry for him. She called out, "Don't take it so hard, Captain Rissing. And don't worry. This will all work out for the best! That, I know and hope for sure!". The children around her cheered, agreeing with her and saying that Godzilla would be the best thing in their kingdom. Raven just sighed, and a small smile formed on his face. He felt the optimism coming from the children, the royal sisters, and from the two visitors to the kingdom.
When they passed through the center of the village, the citizens started to cheer loudly and wave from either their homes or out on the streets at them. A woman called out, "Thank you Godzilla for protecting Queen Elsa and Princess Anna!".
An elder man called forth, "Good work Godzilla for defending our treasures! Thank you!". Many people expressed their thanks to the saurian, who looked all over at the people with a perplexed look on his face. He was being shown gratitude by the human population, which only happened back at Sennen, England the last time he was here. He felt… a strange, but good and warm feeling entering his massive heart. It was small, but it was there and growing gradually. The King of the Monsters let out a huge roar to all, causing some of the people to be quiet and listen/look in awe at the saurian. However, the little ones that showed no fear of him smiled brightly and innocently before letting out roars of their own. It was quite interesting to see children not having any fear of Godzilla or the other monsters that had come to this realm before.
Regina looked to her friends and stated, "I think we might have to stay here for a few more days until things truly settle down around here. Heh, this really reminds me on when Godzilla and his friends came to my village back in England sixteen years ago.". Anna, Elsa, Alice and even Olaf grinned as they realized that the behemoth had once experienced this before.
Alice asked, "Your Highnesses, do you mind if me and Regina spend a couple of more nights at the castle?". Both royal women nodded their heads, answering that it would be okay and that it would be nice to have them spend more time with them before they officially left.
Anna caught the attention of one of the soldiers that was escorting them back to the castle and ordered, "Excuse me, sir. But can you please run ahead to the castle and tell everyone to prepare for a big party celebration! We're going to officially introduce our new friend Godzilla as a citizen of our home! Everyone is invited, so tell them to do their best to make it ready by tonight!". The soldier gave a brief salute before running to the castle as fast as he could! The young man had felt the vibrational joy and happiness in Anna's voice, clearly the beautiful lady very much excited for this kind of occasion.
~At the Arendelle castle~
The servants and soldiers were scrambling around to prepare for two things that were coming their way. The military personnel were getting the royal jail cells ready for the Duke of Weselton, his two bodyguards and Captain Jonathan of the Weselton ship. The soldiers who had escorted the four told them the situation on what happened earlier, and many were both glad and outraged. Outraged that the elder noble had done such a foolish and almost fatal move against the queen and princess, but glad that now justice was being served. The Duke had been making a big fuss along the way, and his henchmen seemed very embarrassed to even being connected to the noble. However, they did give some decent respect to Captain Jonathan when he appeared. The soldiers told them all on why he was here without being bound like the others, and the news had a mixed reaction. Some wanted him to be bound in rope, others thought that it was courageous of him to give himself up due to his honor.
The second thing was that a new member of the royal family was coming… a very BIG member! When the soldier that was sent by Anna came in through the gate and told them the princess's instructions/order, the servants almost fainted, especially Viva and Canutus. Most of the servants and soldiers had seen on what happened on the bridge, and upon seeing Godzilla… well, many almost fainted from sheer shock at seeing such a beast. And now upon learning on what was to be done, they had to scramble to make the party for this evening a reality!
Viva was telling the maids and cooks to prepare for the feasts, while Canutus was instructing the soldiers and servants on what to do should something extreme be taken to ensure the safety of both the royal women and themselves. The fiery maid turned to her friend after giving the instructions and commented, "I have to give Anna and Elsa this, they really know on how to liven things up around here!". The senior servant nodded, adding that the royal ladies did indeed know how to light a fire under all of them. It was a bit of an ironic pun there since Elsa did control ice.
One of the servants cried out, "They are coming! Open the gates!". The entire number of servants and soldiers in the courtyard quickly got in position, lined up side by side to form what would be a human lane of sort. The large gates opened, and arriving through first were the royal ladies, along with their friends and Olaf the living snowman. All greeted and waved to the attendants, servants, soldiers and the like.
Alice turned around and said, "Come on in, Godzilla! No one here will try anything aggressive against you! We promise!". The lovely ladies were more worried on the servants or soldiers doing anything rash that might make Godzilla dislike them… or worse.
Viva, Canutus and others watched in complete awe as coming through the large gate, squeezing in through the narrow passageway a little, was the monster that had saved their beloved rulers and her friends. It was their first time meeting face-to-face… Godzilla, King of the Monsters! All gasped, held their hands to their mouths in shock and surprise, or either took defensive stances to run away if need be.
The saurian looked over at the place, seeing the human attendants and soldiers looking at him as if he were an incredible being of sort. In a sense, he really was. He growled as he surveyed the scene before him, causing the humans to gulp in fear as if they were being judged by a mighty king. Godzilla's gaze turned towards Viva and Canutus, sensing that these particular humans were slightly different from the others. He bent down to look at them, the young lady and the elder man-servant gulping down the intense fear they felt upon gazing into the faces and eyes of a behemoth that looked to be straight out of a mythology book.
Anna walked a little towards the group of servants and soldiers and stated with a smile, "Everyone, meet Godzilla the King of the Monsters! Our friend, hero and loyal companion!". Said saurian roared loudly, causing most to cover their ears as he gave his own version of 'hello' to the humans.
Elsa came beside her sister and stated, "We will be throwing a special party here in the castle, one to celebrate our new friend who saved us from the foolish Duke. Not only that, but we will be having the party to also introduce Godzilla as a citizen of Arendelle and as our new guardian.". Even though most heard from the soldier on what was to be done, nearly all the servants and soldiers were still stunned to hear the news directly from the Queen's own mouth.
Regina exclaimed with enthuasim, "So let's get to work! Godzilla here loves steaks and any other kind of meat, as long as its cooked and well-done! And a little spicy, but not too spicy. Come on, let's go!". She soon ran to where the kitchen was at, some of the chefs and cooks in the courtyard now chasing after her, exclaiming on not to touch anything in their territory, which was the kitchen.
Alice came by Elsa's right side and put in, "Godzilla will be staying outside since he does not like to stay cooped up in one place for too long. But, he will be coming out and into the castle when it's time to introduce him to the people later on at the party.". When a servant girl asked on where Godzilla would be staying at, Anna answered that it would be in the water.
Said saurian felt that being in the courtyard was a bit enclosed for his taste, so he gave leaned down and bumped the princess with his snout. She turned and saw the look in his eyes, seeing that he was going back into the drink. She smiled and petted his nose, saying, "I understand, hero. You want to go back and be a bit more free. Okay then, go on and have a good swim!". Godzilla gave a tiny nod, and turned around to go back in the way he came. The humans had to either duck or run for cover to avoid his long tail, the powerful appendage striking some of the pillars and structures around but not enough to cause serious damage. He stomped over to the entrance, growling in annoyance when he had to wiggle a little to get through the narrow doorway to get through. He walked enough distance so that when he turned around on the bridge to jump into the water, his tail did not hit anything or anyone. He leapt into the cold, clear water and soon disappeared into its depths as everyone looked on in fascination.
Elsa and the lovely ladies just smiled at the way that Godzilla just grasped attention from nearly everyone he met so far, and the queen called out, "Okay everyone, time to snap out of it! We have a party to get underway! Let's get to it!".
~Inside the dungeon cells~
"THIS IS OUTRAGOUS! UNHAND ME AT ONCE AND RELEASE ME!" came the cry of the Duke as he was carried by the soldiers down below to the dungeons of the castle. The dungeons have been rarely used in years due to the citizens being good, the king and queen back then just rulers. And when they were gone, it was Captain Raven Rissing that was able to keep order as Anna and Elsa grew up. And when they did reach adulthood, many who were crooked had left the country on account they did not want to get frozen by Queen Elsa. Inside the dungeon area, the torches were lit and the twenty cells were all empty.
Until now. The Duke was led to the far end of the cell room, unbound from the ropes before being harshly flung into the sparse space. The Duke's new accommodations were small, with only a wooden bench to act as both a bed and seat rest with chains on the back wall. The cell doors were metal and a bit rusty, but still sturdy enough to prevent anyone from escaping. The elderly man rose up quick and tried to run out, but the door was closed and the lock secure. He glared heatedly and hatefully at the guards and demanded, "Let me out of here this instance! I'm important, respected… I have power!". The guards just shook their heads and stood back to the side, awaiting the other prisoners. The henchmen of the Duke were next in line, put in separate cells and locked up tight. The last one to come down was Jonathan, but the captain was put in a cell near the entrance.
When he was securely in, one of the guards spoke, "We respect you for your honesty in the matter, captain. Hopefully, your sentence will be light… while the trio over there will get the maximum punishment.". Jonathan just nodded his head and thanked the guard for the words.
The Duke yelled out again, "Punishment?! You can't punish me! I'm a duke, I'm needed at my country! I'm…". He was interrupted when footsteps echoed down the hall, the sound indicating that someone was walking towards them. The soldiers stood at attention, and the prisoners saw that entering into the chamber was Captain Rissing himself, the young man looking quite angry and even a minion of Hell itself would flinch at seeing the cold look on his face. His men looked up at the ceiling, not wanting to see the furious look on their commanders face. The Duke's words died in his throat when he saw the intense look on the captain, backing away until his back was against the wall.
Rissing stated, "We can, and will indeed punish you… SIR. You have done a very grievous act against royalty, against OUR beloved rulers. You will be interrogated, you and your henchmen plus Jonathan. Every single word will be recorded, written down and put in the official records so that all may see and read on what has taken place. So, you have one hour to yourself before the interrogation starts. If I were you… I start praying to God for mercy, because we sure won't give it to you.". He then walked away from the cell, the Duke and his minions very much intimidated and fearful of the man.
Raven looked to the four soldiers with him in and ordered, "Guard the prisoners. They may try to break out to escape, so we leave nothing to chance. Make sure that all is secure, understood?". The soldiers gave a sharp salute and reply, going to their posts at the entrance/exit doorway. Raven then walked back upstairs, his demeanor showing that he was now exhausted. He knew his work was not done yet; he had to go to the archives to officially document and put down what had transpired, and that was going to take some time even after the interrogation that was to start an hour from now. Add in the fact he had to keep his soldiers from doing anything against Godzilla, and finding Sven and Kristoff in the wilderness, this was going to be one BUSY day and night for him.
He mumbled, "I am really going to need a strong drink and a lot of rest after this…". One had to feel sorry for someone that was doing so much in such a short amount of time.
~At Leylstad~
While Godzilla's party was under way, Little Godzilla was being led by Rapunzel towards the village and castle that was her home! The lovely lady had told her parents everything, omitting of course the pixies, on what happened ever since the son of Godzilla came down. Needless to say, King Floris and Queen Katharina were stunned to learn that Little Godzilla liked plants and was quite playful. They were also concerned if the saurian's had any family, or if he was the only one of his kind. Rapunzel was very careful around this issue, telling them that there was a possibility that Little Godzilla's father was out there but can't be too sure at the moment.
After all was said and done, the royal family continued on with the picnic with their new friend/guest. Rapunzel had to keep an eye on him as the friendly monster was chasing some of the servants, laughing as the saurian tried to just see them up close. Little Godzilla was curious on these new humans, and wanted to see them more up close. Of course, the servants did not like this one bit and ran away from him, instigating a little game of Tag, so to speak. When the food and drinks were finished, King Floris ordered everyone to help them clean up the place, to leave it pristine as it was before they arrived.
While they were cleaning, Queen Katharina summoned their fastest soldier that was with them. She instructed him, "Go back to the village, and to the castle, and tell everyone to prepare for a new… special guest that will be coming along soon. To prepare for a party, a celebration for an announcement that will happen tonight!". The soldier gave her a sharp salute, and when he got back on his trusty steed, took off like a bullet!
Rapunzel was soothing and petting Little Godzilla under a tree that was by the lake, calming the little monster down. It was then she felt something slightly warm behind her, and turned to see the pixies hovering in front of her! Her eyes widened and she was about to say something when Queen Clarion put a finger to her lips, telling her to be quiet for the moment. She stated, "Rapunzel, I believe that we still have a role to play here in Little Godzilla's life at the moment. So, Tinkerbell and Zarina wish to hitch a ride on you so they can go to your home. The other pixies will arrive later on the day once they hear of the events that had just transpired here.".
The princess's eyes showed her shock as they were very much willing to go in a very populated human area with her. She thought, 'Airlia must know something… that they indeed have a bigger role to play here where it concerns Little Godzilla. Well… why not? Let's go!'.
Rapunzel answered, "Okay then. I'll go along with this. I am confident that the pixies can be kept hidden and safe from prying human eyes, but if they need more help, I'll be there to assist!". All knew the risk involved, but there were going to take a chance on this because they all felt that Little Godzilla might need the fairies in the future.
Tinkerbell stated, "Thank you Rapunzel! We'll be very careful to make sure we're not seen by anyone! We'll sort of wing it from here.". Zarina also showed her enthusiasm in being allowed to go, saying that winging it on any situation was good for her. Queen Clarion gave the fairies her blessings, as did Lady Airlia.
The Time/Space-talented pixie told Tinkerbell and Zarina, "Take care, all of you. Little Godzilla has a big role to play later on, and we must be there to make sure that it goes on the right path. Good luck!". She then went to Queen Clarion's side, then used her powers to teleport the two of them back to Pixie Hollow in Neverland in a flash of white-black light!
Rapunzel gestured the two feisty and beautiful fairies to get into her satchel that was on her hip, the duo heading in quick before anyone could see them. She then gestured for Little Godzilla to follow her, which he did, back to her parents. The king and queen told them that they would be going back to the village, and that she and Little Godzilla were going to join them. At first, the princess was surprised that they were going to be showcasing her friend so soon, but Queen Katharina explained that the sooner they revealed Little Godzilla to the public, the better. And that it would be better if he showed up with them, having the backing of the entire royal family would be more positive towards the son of Godzilla. Rapunzel saw the wisdom in her mother's words, and got back on Maximus who was waiting for her.
Buizel came out of his hiding place and went towards his friend. Rapunzel turned towards the special Eurasian hobby and said, "Thanks for your help, Buizel. You can go back to the castle now, and again thank you!". The unique bird did a short bow to his beautiful lady, and flew off away back to the castle. When he was out of sight, she and Maximus trotted over to her parents. King Floris said that they would ride out in front, with Rapunzel behind them along with Little Godzilla. Rapunzel agreed to that, and so she and the small saurian got behind the royal carriage.
The king ordered, "All right now! Everyone all set? Then… let's go home!". The royal carriage did a steady trot in the direction of the castle, with Rapunzel following and Little Godzilla doing the same. The servants stayed behind… far behind at a distance since they were still a little uneasy about the monster. Rapunzel saw this, and rolled her eyes at the sight. But, she hoped and prayed that they would lose the nervousness and come to see Little Godzilla as truly a gentle and good creature like her mom and herself did.
Now currently, they were emerging from the woods and seeing the village gates dead ahead.
The princess turned to see Little Godzilla still following her, squeaking and showing a little hesitancy upon seeing the human structure. Rapunzel went to him and patting him on the head, whispering, "There, there. Don't worry, little guy. Everything will be okay, I promise you. Trust me!". Little Godzilla looked into his bonded human's beautiful green eyes, felt calm wash over him and nodded his head, squeaking out that he trusted her. Rapunzel was very satisfied with this, and continued to ride next to him. The king and queen turned to see this, and were very proud of their daughter handling the situation quite well.
Katharina stated, "If she is good with Little Godzilla, perhaps she will be much better with children when the time comes for her and Eugene to have some.". Her husband smiled brightly now, the thought of grandchildren bringing true joy and love in his heart. The parents yearned for their daughter to have children, so they could play and spoil them with much love and happiness. In their view, as well as Rapunzel's, children were a real blessing from above. One that should not be taken lightly, but embraced lovingly! They had been receiving messages from Rapunzel's husband, reporting that he was learning well from the other nobles of the land he was in, and was reported to be heading to Arendelle. He and Rapunzel had been there before to witness the coronation of Queen Elsa three years ago.
The group went towards the gates, and the soldiers stationed above saw them… and when they saw Rapunzel trotting next to Little Godzilla, they almost panicked! Almost being the key word. They had been told by the soldier Queen Katharina sent out earlier on the situation, and they were a bit skeptical when they heard about the monster with them. Now seeing that it was real, the soldiers were about to sound the alarm when they saw that their beloved princess was not being harmed at all. In fact, they saw that Rapunzel was soothing and calming the small saurian down.
"Well… I think I have seen about everything. Okay then, soldier! Open the gates for the royal family… and their guest." the sentry told his comrade, the soldier saluting and instructing the gatekeepers down below to raise the gate. The iron bars soon lifted, allowing the group to be let back in.
The citizens in the village were going about their lives and work when they saw the royal procession coming up, and excitement built up as they were prepared to see their beloved rulers! The cheering started when they saw their king, queen and princess… however, their cheering died down quick and turned to awe when they saw Little Godzilla walking beside Rapunzel. Many gasped, some fled back into their homes, and many stood to the side to let the procession pass on by. The royal family frowned, but at least it was not a full-blown panic as they had feared. Rapunzel patted the saurian's head saying, "It's okay, big guy. They just need a little time to see what a wonderful being you are.". Little Godzilla squeaked out, causing some of the children nearby to pull away from their parents and see more of the monster.
A little girl called out, "Hey… that's a little monster, like us! I don't think it's scary.".
A small boy also observed this and added, "Yeah! In fact… I think it's more scared of us then we are of him.". Gradually, the children and young adults started to pull away from their parents to get a better view of Little Godzilla, while some opted to look from a distance but at least with curiosity rather then fear.
Rapunzel and her parents smiled, very much glad to see that the citizens were now curious instead of fearful. Soon, the group came to the middle of the village. The royal family saw that the citizens did indeed started to make preparations for the party as per Queen Katharina's request. But when all of them saw Little Godzilla, the preparations came to a dead halt. The saurian was now under many human eyes, and he was getting nervous. Rapunzel saved him by getting off of Maximus and stroking the little monster's chest saying, "It's okay, Little Godzilla. It's okay… no one is going to make a move against you.". The citizens were amazed to see that the monster was squeaking like a child, and accepting/enjoying the soothing touch of their precious princess.
One of the people, a butcher from a shop went to the king and queen and inquired, "Your Highnesses, ah… what exactly is going on here?". That was the question on everyone's mind at the moment.
King Floris answered, "My friend, we are welcoming a new citizen of the kingdom. That is why my lovely wife had you get everything ready for the party tonight, that will be held here and at the castle later on.".
Queen Katharina looked to her daughter and said, "Rapunzel, we will be moving on ahead to make sure that our home is ready when the time comes to make our little friend an honorary citizen of the kingdom. Can you two make it back to the castle in about two hours?". Her daughter replied that she would, and Little Godzilla let out a squeak in response. The people were stunned to see that the saurian showed intelligence that was almost human-like. The beautiful royal woman gave her daughter a small but warm smile as she nodded her head, and the rest of the party moved on back to the castle while Rapunzel stayed behind with Little Godzilla, Maximus, and Pascal on her shoulder.
The people started to gather around the princess and the monster, mostly children actually. An adorable six year-old girl went to Rapunzel and asked, "His name is Little Godzilla? He is a baby?". That was when the fair royal lady smiled bright and started to explain as best she could about the monster she befriended.
~Some hours later~
It was now 7:30 p.m. in the land of Arendelle, twilight setting in as everyone in the village was heading towards the castle. A lot of people were interested on what was going to happen when Anna and Elsa was going to introduce Godzilla officially into the kingdom as a full-fledged citizen. The children and young adults were very much excited to see the behemoth again, while the adults were still a tiny bit leery of the monster. One could not blame them, since Godzilla was known as the King of the Monsters. When they arrived at the Main Gate, they saw that it was open and what a sight they saw inside!
Tables of food and drinks were spread out all over, widely spaced and even as a large empty spot was in the center courtyard. Everyone knew what this was so, since the spot was reserved for the guest of honor. In front of them at the end of the courtyard was a table that was very long, and had an ice sculpture of Godzilla on it! Little did anyone know was that this was the same sculpture that Elsa did when she and Anna were young children, the first time they saw Godzilla and the other monsters in the golden comet long ago. And standing in front of said art masterpiece were the Queen and Princess herself, along with their two friends! Elsa, Anna, Regina and Alice had decided to go full-out in dressing up for this special occasion, and they looked so beautiful and amazing that many of the males that were coming in stopped for a moment to take in such heavenly women.
Alice laughed lightly at this and whispered, "I think we may have broken some of them.". The girls giggled lightly, but soon regained themselves. Beside them was Captain Rissing, the young man looking a little worse for wear but he was still ready to attend the festivities. It had been a LONG day for him, and he managed to get an hour and a half of sleep before being awakened to join the party. Beside the captain was Olaf, who had managed to get a real carrot nose again and was all ready for the party as well! But this time, he would take greater care to not get stepped on this time.
One of the female guests inquired, "Ummm, excuse me your Highnesses but… what happened to the wall?". It was a good question, as the wall to the right of them had a rather large empty space where bricks and stones used to be. Elsa answered that it was to allow their special guest to come in.
Once everyone was inside the courtyard, Anna started things off by announcing, "Everyone, thank you for coming to this great day! We really appreciate it, and I'm certain that our saurian friend will appreciate it too when he comes in.".
Regina picked up, "If there is anything you want to ask about Godzilla, let us know! We'll be happy to answer your questions before he arrives.". And so, the asking and the partying begun! Many had gone over to eat, drink, and be merry with their friends or significant others while most went to the four women and asked them more on the King Monsters. It was Regina who answered most of their questions, the beauty from Sennen really telling the story on how Godzilla first arrived at England sixteen years ago. Anna, Elsa and Alice filled in where they could when asked on how they even met the monster.
About an hour and a half past, and the lamps were lit all around the courtyard with a full moon rising up in the sky to provide sufficient light. Elsa then asked everyone to make room, saying it was time for the guest of honor to arrive. Everyone did so, getting away from the empty wall area as quick as possible. Anna then went to said wall, looking over to the clean and clear water ahead. She then took a deep breath and yelled out, "GODZILLA!". She then walked over to her sister and friends, wanting everyone to see on how their friend made an entrance.
The populace of Arendelle were soon treated to a sight they won't soon forget! The water in front of them churned and bubbled, the liquid frothing like mad! Men, women and children gasped as they saw rising from the water in simply spectacular fashion was… Godzilla! The saurian roared fiercely as he rose from the depths, his maw showcasing the double-row of sharp teeth and his eyes burning with the desire to fight! While the adults found this amazing to witness, the kids and young adults found it cool. Some of them actually cheered as they saw the green-skinned monster rising up and walking towards the castle. Godzilla easily fit through the hole, and he walked towards his bonded. Elsa, Anna, Regina and Alice smiled brightly as their friend/hero stalked towards them, Olaf and Captain Rissing very much on guard upon seeing the monster. The soldiers and servants were also nervous, but not as much as before.
Godzilla growled, looking around to see that while many humans were in the vicinity, they were no threat to him whatsoever. He was looking for the enemy that he thought was there, the reason one of his bonded called out to him. When he found no foe to fight, he turned towards the women and growled again in confusion. Elsa smiled brightly and stated, "Do not worry, Godzilla. We are not in danger or trouble. We just needed you here to do this officially.". The saurian had no idea on what the ice human was saying, but he did trust her and just stood there growling softly. The Snow Queen saw that the monster was in the middle of the courtyard, which was perfect as she walked a bit past her friend and stood in front of him. Her sister and her friends soon joined her, lining up in front of the saurian.
"Everyone, thank you all for coming! As you may have heard from our earlier talks, Godzilla is a being from another universe entire. But, he is much more then just King of the Monsters. He is a good friend and a very strong defender." Elsa started out.
Anna picked up, "He defended me and Anna against the avalanche when we were on North Mountain, protecting us from the falling debris and snow.".
Regina added, "He also defended us on our nature walk at the base of the mountain, fighting off a monster that we had never seen before! And he won!".
Alice was the last one to state, "And he saved us again when he took a cannonball for all of us on the bridge that was fired by that foolish Duke.". On this statement, everyone clapped as they had not liked that elderly noble at all.
The beautiful Snow Queen turned back to the behemoth and said, "Godzilla, King of the Monsters. I learned from Regina that you have unofficial citizenship in both England and France, and that was due last time you were here sixteen years ago. I, however, want this to be official so that everyone here in Arendelle know that you are part of this kingdom. Part of this family.". The monster growled softly, not really understanding what she was saying but feeling that same warmth again that was rising up in his being. It was the same feeling he felt last time when he was here with his bonded Melody, Tracy, Cinderella and Ariel.
Anna said with a proud, clear and joyful voice, "So it is with great and happy hearts that we officially welcome you into the kingdom! By the power vested in us, we proclaim you Godzilla a citizen of Arendelle and protector of the realm!". She gave a signal to two of the servants on the upper levels of the castle, and they unfurled a banner that was large wide for all to see. It showed a very well-painted drawing of the King of the Monsters, in a battle stance with the crest of Arendelle behind him! At his feet were drawings of Anna and Elsa, showing that he was under the protection of the royal family.
Everyone cheered loudly at that, and Godzilla roared loudly as well! It seemed that the monster was feeling pleased with what was developing, even though he did not understand it all. Captain Rissing had a small smile on his face, glad that things did not go south. Olaf was ecstatic, and it showed as he ran over to Godzilla and gave the saurian a hug. The monster grunted a little from the cold he felt on his right leg, and looked down to see the living snowman. He saw that he was not a threat, so he just endured it. Regina grabbed a glass of punch and then shouted, "A toast everyone! To Godzilla, King of the Monsters and guardian of our kingdom! To Godzilla!".
Everyone grabbed whatever glass they could, be it filled or not, and exclaimed as one, "To Godzilla!".
~At Leystad~
While Godzilla was having his celebration at Arendelle, Little Godzilla was enjoying his time with at his bonded's home. The small monster and Rapunzel had made it back to the castle after two hours of talking, playing and exploring in the village. The princess was exhausted as she had to keep an eye on the little guy to make sure that he was okay. While a bit big for his size, Little Godzilla could go somewhere in a hurry if he wanted to. In some ways, he was like a curious, excited toddler that could not stand still for too long. Rapunzel had some help from the kids, and also some motherly women who had taken a shine to the little one in some way, to make sure that Little Godzilla did not hurt himself or anyone else in the process. Some things did happen, and Rapunzel had to repay for some stands that the saurian broke on accident. She winced, knowing her father would not take too kindly to the bill that was going to be presented to him later on.
When they arrived back at the castle, they saw that the place was almost done for Little Godzilla's party. The servants and soldiers had gasped upon seeing Little Godzilla, but the sight of Rapunzel and Queen Katharina, who had come down to greet them, hugging said monster brought some relief to them. Seeing that the small, green-skinned lizard was not a threat at all. The queen had told them to freshen up and relax, as the party would start at 7:30 a.m., which meant they had about two hours to rest. Rapunzel had managed to coax the son of Godzilla to go into the castle, and up to her room, though it was a challenge due to two things. One, Little Godzilla's body was not adapt to climbing many small steps, so Rapunzel and Pascal helped him out in that area. Second, some of the servants had run out screaming from seeing such a beast in the castle. Apparently, not all of the servants took to Little Godzilla as the others did.
When they were finally in her room, the small former Godzillasaurus explored his new surroundings while Rapunzel let out Tinkerbell and Zarina. She inquired on what they were going to do now, and the fiery blonde beauty stated that she and Zarina were going to explore the upper areas of the castle. Tink added that she'll keep an eye out for her friends, if they had arrived already to the kingdom, and would show them where they would stay. The two waved farewell to Little Godzilla before flying out the window, and that was when Rapunzel flopped on her bed hard with Pascal leaping off in time and landing beside her on the pillow.
She sighed, blowing some stray blonde/brunette hair out of her face and stated, "Wow… what a day, eh Pascal? My parents, Little Godzilla, the pixies, and the little adventure we had at the village… I am just wiped out.". No one can blame Rapunzel, for she was just plain worn out from chasing Little Godzilla, explaining a bit of him to the people, and also explaining a bit of her hair to the populace on why it looked like it did. Many thought it was a phase she was going through, while many did applaud her sense of style and said her hair looked really good.
Pascal just nodded and curled up near her head on the pillow as she was resting. Rapunzel looked to her right to see that Little Godzilla was sitting on his haunches in a corner and was looking a bit tired himself. The princess smiled at the saurian softly and whispered, "Yawn… have a good nap, little guy. Going… to take one… too…". She was then knocked out, taking nap right then and there on her bed as is. Little Godzilla gave off a small squeak before closing his eyes, his heart beat slowing down and his body still. He went to sleep as well.
~One hour and forty-five minutes later~
Rapunzel was having a good dream about now, where she and her husband Eugene were ruling over the kingdom with Little Godzilla behind them. However, the dream was broken when she felt someone knocking on the door. She moaned a little, wanting to sleep a little bit longer. However, the door opened up and in came Queen Katharina. "Rapunzel? Why are you still in your old clothes? Surely you remember that the party is in fifteen minutes, right?" she inquired, which caused Rapunzel to become wide awake as her eyes shot open! She got off of her bed in a flash, sending Pascal flying off of the bed. Luckily for the reptile, he landed on a nearby throw pillow.
She exclaimed, "Fifteen minutes?! Mother, give me a little time! Oooh, this is so embarrassing!". She ran to her washroom, intent on getting a quick wash on her body and getting herself prepared as best she could! The noise woke up Little Godzilla, the monster squeaking in fright and wondering what was going on. The queen went to the small monster, her soothing and pleasing voice calming him down. Katharina looked at the door to the washroom, smiling and shaking her head slightly as she had seen many a time of her daughter waking up nearly late to many events.
She looked to the saurian and said, "Come, little one. We must make sure you are ready too.". She then guided the son of Godzilla, coaxing him out of the bedroom and towards a spare room where some maids were waiting with a LARGE tub of water, soap and a lot of towels. Queen Katharina had anticipated Rapunzel's late actions, and thus had the maids ready and waiting to give Little Godzilla a little scrub down.
Upon arriving at the room, which was not too far from the princess's room, the maids were a bit stunned to see Little Godzilla. However, some had motherly instincts and actually welcomed the small monster. Queen Katharina stated, "Okay everyone… time to wash our special guest down!". Little Godzilla was squeaking in confusion, then in wonder and delight when he felt hot water being poured on him and a strange, pleasant scent coming off from some bars that were nearby.
Back in Rapunzel's room, the beauty had gotten a quick bath and was now doing her hair while inspecting her body. She soon wrapped a towel around said body and went out to her room to find some clothing to wear. However, she was surprised upon exiting the washroom to see her entire friends from Pixie Hollow in the room with her! She yelped a little in surprise then asked, "Tinkerbell, everyone?! When did you all get here?!".
Rosetta answered, "We arrived here just ten minutes ago. And is it true that you are going to make Little Godzilla a real citizen of your kingdom!?". Rapunzel answered a quick YES reply before going to her massive closet and trying to find what she was going to wear. Vidia stated that it was a bad idea to introduce something as wonderful and powerful as Little Godzilla in a manner like this.
Rapunzel replied as she finally found something to wear, "I know, I know. But in fairness, I think it does have some merit. My father said that with Little Godzilla being a citizen and under our protection, he would get into less trouble like this.". Even some of the fairies thought that the idea did have some credit to it, but Vidia was still stubborn in her stance on this being a bad idea. With just five minutes left to go, Rapunzel got dressed in her outfit! She asked the fairies for their opinion, and while most liked it, Rosetta stated that the outfit could use a bit sprucing up a little. The human princess took it all, then looked around and realized that Little Godzilla was not in the room.
"Ummm… where is our little monster friend?" she inquired, and that is when a knock on the door was heard. The pixie quickly flew away to various parts of the room to hide, while Rapunzel smoothed out her dress and answered the door. Outside was Little Godzilla, by his side was her mother, and behind him were several maids that looked a little soaked to the bone but happy.
"Rapunzel, glad to see that you're all ready. So is Little Godzilla here! He was bathed and cleaned down a little for the occasion. So, how do you like him?" Katharina explained. The princess saw that indeed, the saurian looked cleaner and smelled better too. Little Godzilla squeaked out, causing the beautiful young lady to smile and reply that he looked excellent. With only a few more minutes left to go, the womenfolk helped Little Godzilla down the stairs and to the party that was in the Main Courtyard.
At said courtyard, a large party was in full swing! The citizens had all arrived to see the official introduction of Little Godzilla into their home, and there was quite a spread of colorful decorations, food, drink and social people at the celebration! Lanterns of light decorated the area, a warm and soothing glow coming from every single one of them.
King Floris was waiting for his beautiful wife and daughter to come down with the guest of honor. He looked around and asked to no one in particular, "Where are they? The party is going to start in just a minute or so…". No sooner after he said that, it was 7:30 p.m., and coming down from the doorway at the castle was the queen, princess and monster! The people cheered upon seeing the trio, Rapunzel waving to all while staying near her bonded. Little Godzilla squeaked in wonder, seeing so many happy humans around him.
Queen Katharina went to her husband's side and stated, "Sorry for almost being late, dear. Just had to get Rapunzel awake, and also give our little friend a quick clean-up.". Floris replied that it was no problem, and both hugged one another tightly and warmly before he welcomed Rapunzel into his arms. He always loved it when he hugged her, feeling that the family was now complete once again.
Rapunzel then inquired on what was going to be done next, and Floris answered that it was up to her to introduce Little Godzilla officially into the kingdom. Her eyes widened, not having a speech planned or anything! But her father and mother gave her encouraging, warm smiles, saying to just trust in her heart and mind to say the right things. Rapunzel gulped a little, then turned to see Little Godzilla playing with some of the little children that had arrived to the party. Her green eyes softened, and the words came quickly to both her head and heart. She walked away from her parents, and towards the center of the courtyard. She motioned her friend to follow her, which he did as he waddled away from the children he had been playing with and following his bonded.
When they reached the middle of the courtyard, Rapunzel raised her hand and shouted for the people to gain their attention. However, the party was going in gear and the citizens were mingling and talking loudly, so her voice was a little drowned out. After a few failed calls, she sighed and turned to Little Godzilla. She asked, "Excuse me, but do you think you can get their attention for me please?". The saurian understood, if only a little, and his dorsal spines flashed blue which got EVERYONE's attention before spewing out his Radioactive Bubble breath! Needless to say, that got the attention of all as the place quieted down fast.
Rapunzel giggled and said, "Thank you, big guy. Now, if I may have your attention please!". The citizens, soldiers, servants, royal family and more turned their attention and focus on the princess, while watching/hiding in a nearby window were the pixies.
The blonde/brunette streaked haired beauty announced, "For some days, I have been going out to the forest to meet my new companion here, Little Godzilla. He is from another realm that is beyond the heavens, and needs a place to call home. He is not dangerous, but unique and quite possibly the only one of his kind.". She had to omit the information on the possibility of more monsters out there, otherwise it might have provided more negative reactions then positive.
She continued, "So therefore… by the power vested in me as princess of Lelystad… I am making Little Godzilla an official member and citizen of the kingdom! He is to be protected from any that might try to exploit or seriously harm him. Any attack on his being is a direct offense and/or attack on the royal family.". She said that part with a serious fire in her eyes, showing that the bond between princess and monster was strong, and that she would do anything to protect her friend. The king and queen were proud of their daughter, and even the citizens who were a bit stunned by her heated promise felt pride in their royal lady's words and actions.
Rapunzel's eyes softened and turned to look at Little Godzilla, who stared right back at her. She went to him and planted a small kiss on his snout, making him squeak softly in pleasure and mild surprise. Rapunzel then looked to the people and announced, "I give you now Little Godzilla, citizen and future guardian of Lelystad!". The crowd then cheered, surprising the monster but was calmed by Rapunzel. King Floris and Queen Katharina felt immense pride and joy at their blessing, while the fairies quietly cheered and congratulated their companion! The only one who was not cheering was Vidia, but the Fast Flying-talent fairy had a small but warm smirk on her face as she looked to Little Godzilla and Rapunzel.
"Now, let's party!" Rapunzel exclaimed, the crowd now cheering more and partying into the night!
~At the North Mountain~
While Little Godzilla and his father were partying with their bonded, a serious event was taking place inside the North Mountain. Ingfrid, the stone city and kingdom of the Mountain Trolls, was bustling with activity but the true serious action was happening at the castle. Lady Benedikta, the matriarch and ruler of the Mountain Trolls in this part of the world, had been holding a piece of paper in her right hand. In her left was a carrier bird… one that had come from Copenhagen! Behind her was Håvard, her apprentice and close friend. She inquired, "I thank you for bringing this message to me, Håvard. It seems that fate and destiny are really calling out to us.".
The apprentice troll nodded and said, "I believe so. It was not luck or coincidence that this bird did not find its way to Arendelle, but to us instead.". Earlier, a patrol scout on the mountain had spotted the carrier bird that had somehow lost its way and landed in a snowbank. He saw the insignia of Copenhagen on said bird, and the note attached to it. He knew it was not polite to read other people's mail, but the patrol scout was curious and unfurled it to read the contents. What he did read made his eyes widen, and realize that this message should be checked by the Lady herself. So he took both message and bird back to the underground city, and gave both to Håvard who soon gave it to his ruler.
Said matriarch stated, "I used a small bit of my powers to make out the message… and it is not good. I saw that the time for the Mountain Trolls to come out of hiding is near. I can now fully confirm that what is happening in Copenhagen is related to Godzilla and the other monsters who came here to this universe.". The apprentice was left stunned to hear the news, of both the time of the Mountain Trolls to come out of hiding near, and that something relating to Godzilla had made itself known. And for Benedikta, it was not good at all.
She put the carrier bird in a special, large cage for it to be safe in for the time being, then put the message on her desk. The powerful Mountain Troll stated, "Send word for any and all of the major and minor family clans to come to the castle in eight hours, and also for the blacksmiths and weapon-makers to get themselves ready. There will be a meeting on that hour. It will be when I declare that in four days' time… that we go to war.".
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! Thank you God and Jesus very much for helping me with this chapter! It was long and a bit tricky, but it is done! I hope that everyone likes this one!
In the next chapter, see what has happened in the land of both Agrabah and New Orleans! I promise that the next chapter will be a real kick for all of you! Jet Jaguar and King Caesar will also be granted citizenship of some kind in their respective places, and in a way that I hope is in true Disney fashion! Also, you will see what happens to Hans and the new 'help' that he has called forth.
Now for the questions: What kind of party would you throw for either Godzilla or Little Godzilla? How would you announce any of the monster's new citizenship to the populace? Would you help Rapunzel in keeping Little Godzilla out of trouble? Would you try and give a present or something to Godzilla or Little Godzilla? And finally… what would you be thinking upon hearing Benedikta that in four days' time, they would be going to war?
