Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination

By: DJ Rodriguez

(Author's Notes: Hi everyone! How are you all doing? I hope each and every one of you are doing well and good. Myself, I am doing good so far & hope to get better in any way I can.

Before I do anything else, I want to thank God and Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for everything! Thank you for not just the incredible gift of imagination that you gave to me, but also for the other gifts in my life. My family, my friends, and also the lessons you instilled in me during my life. I hope to live with conviction, courage, strength, wisdom, life, laughter and love in your Way and Word God! Thank you so much for everything!

Go see my profile to see what I really believe in, and hope to get better as time goes by with it and the Lord.

Now, the end is drawing near for my mini-novel here. Believe me, this has surprised me much as it did when I continued the Monsters and Magic series! I cannot believe that I have made my simple one-shot into a mini-novel of sort like this! Heh, just goes to show you that Jesus works in mysterious ways. In this chapter, Sofia and her allies return home… and her kingdom/home will get a surprise the likes they never expected! I had to go back and look at previous chapters, using math and calculations to make sure I got everything down right. Whew… numbers and me don't exactly mix well…

Now to thank the ones who have reviewed my previous chapter:

To bluemarvel0: Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I believe it was good to see that Cosmina was given the chance of redemption. As long as one draws breath and professes with all their heart that Jesus is the Lord & Savior and the Son of God, than that is all there is to. Believe me, I was a bit torn to show what her fate would be. As for Elena, I did my best with what I have & seen so far of the series. Just glad you approve!

To DRAGONDAVE45: Thank you for the kind words, my friend! I am glad that this works out for you for your future story, but I hope that any and all writers who wish to continue the Monsters and Magic series on their own terms also take the opportunity as well! Just hope they read the previous stories of the series before working on them. Also, thank you for the immensely helpful info! I will take it seriously into consideration. Again, thank you my friend!

To LORD DESTRYUK: Thank you for once again a review, and the scenario as well. I hope your OC's opt to bring their families into the fold. I will see what I can do about that on my end here. Also, thanks for your loyal and interesting reviews my friend! I enjoy them immensely!

To laze jovanov: Thank you for the encouraging words, my friend! I still have no idea how to introduce my series to TV Tropes, and also still seeing if anyone has managed to make a trailer or video review of my Monsters and Magic novels on YouTube. In any case, will keep doing my best and hope that the Lord continues to bless & help me out when need be. And everyone, check out my friend's stories that fuse Disney with Toho & other movie monsters! Look to the new story Invasion of Skull Island, which is a Rapunzel/King Kong 2017 crossover! It holds potential and promise!

To Kearitona Sjachraelgil: Thanks for the short but honest review, my lady! I really much appreciate it!

And finally to Darkness Rissing: Thank you for the words my friend! Reviews from you, like from many others, are worth the wait! I really had a difficult time to see how certain things played out in the previous chapter, but I am glad that it was done. After all, parents & family always want to help a member in an hour of need? At least it is so within my family. And again, hope I did your OC justice in the other chapters!

I will continue to do my best with the stories I have out so far, and also see if any other is willing to continue the Monsters and Magic series with the Millennium versions. I really do not wish to follow the route that most movie writers are taking now, adding in more on a series that have ended long ago. Or making remakes that really leave out a certain charm or class that was present in the originals. For me, I wish to keep the classic & true movies/series/shows as they were when they were first created.

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!)

Return to Razorwood and Enchancia Castle

The ground shook all around, the light-frost covered earth vibrating greatly as the titans from the Toho universe made their way from the Carpathian Mountain area, going in the direction of Razorwood. Godzilla and his fellow kaiju had now become a human taxi service of sort, on their beings they were carrying the humans back to their small settlement. There were sixty volunteers from Razorwood, and adding in Sofia & her family came to a total of sixty-five beings that needed a lift back to their home. The fighting had taken a toll on the brave men and women from Razorwood, so thus why they were now hitching a ride on the monsters.

Godzilla was carrying ten in his left clawed-hand, among them was his bonded companion Sofia the First. And with her was the loyal and formidable android Jet Jaguar, who was seated beside her.

Mothra was flying in the high above them all, holding ten citizens on her back while the Twin Fairies Moll and Lora were on her head. Princess Amber opted to fly with the beautiful guardian of Earth, wanting to use her battle armor more before they got home. Among the people on the large moth's back was Magric & Barbara Korastor.

King Caesar was having the brave fighters on his shoulders, five on the right shoulder with four on the left. Prince James was riding on top, situated in the middle where the crown ornament on the hybrid kaiju's head was t.

Rodan flew through the skies, fast and free, with ten on his back that held on for dear life! These brave souls wanted to see what it was like to fly, and now they were getting the chance. Luckily for them, Sofia cast a sticking charm on the people so they would be able to still stay seated on the monster. Among them was King Roland, who was situated in the horned-crest area of the gigantic pteranodon. On the back area was David & Gwendolyn Howard, both yelling with excitement and joy despite being tired from the fighting.

Anguirus was ambling beside his best friend, ten humans around his neck in the soft & safe places that were free from spines. Sitting on his forehead, near the row of spikes that crowned his head, was Pastor Rick Wing as the formidable follower/teacher of Christ was sitting down Indian-style.

Biolantte was following close behind, the remaining citizens on top of her large crocodilian-like head. Among them was Queen Miranda, who was quite excited to being able to ride such an exquisite being as Biolantte. And also Solta & Lisa Runzi, who also felt honored to be riding atop such a wonderful hybrid monster.

Sofia looked back to where the Carpathian Mountains were at and said, "I really hope that we managed to destroy everything that was left behind in Cosmina's base…".

~Flashback~

Before any kind of arrangements could be made regarding transportation back to Razorwood, David Howard made a suggestion. The young man spoke, "Everyone, listen. Do you think that we can have Godzilla and his friends completely destroy the mountain area here?". Everyone looked to him, and he explained that it might be a good idea to have the kaiju destroy the entire mountain area so that nothing would remain of Cosmina's legacy.

Gwendolyn put in, "My husband has a point. I mean, what if that sorceress left behind some really nasty & evil spells or artifacts in that home of hers? I don't think it would be in anyone's best interest to find any of that stuff.". Many started to see that the Howard couple had a good point. Before turning her heart over at the last second to Jesus Christ, thus saving herself from eternal torment and Hell, the former magic-user had gathered and collected much magical objects of power… many of malicious nature.

Queen Miranda spoke, "I believe you two are correct. Normally I would want to preserve the mountain and have teams search the abode. But…".

King Roland II finished her sentence, "But at the moment, we lack the necessary manpower and skills. The mountain is vast, and even those with abilities in both magical detection and cavern navigation, it would take weeks… maybe months to completely explore it.". It was true, as the Carpathian Mountains was one of the longest mountain ranges in Europe. And the place they were fighting in was just a small area, and there was the possibility that Cosmina might have built areas in other parts during her time alive.

Rick Wing looked to the people and stated, "It seems we just have to pray and hope for the best, that our friends can destroy the mountain and hopefully ALL of the sorceress's objects within it.".

Amber asked, "Do you think they can do it? I mean, they did put a huge hole in the mountain when they got back to full size. And also ruined it some more during their fights with those creations. But will it be enough?".

Sofia looked to her sister and replied, "We shall see in a moment.".

The princess called out to Godzilla, the saurian roaring in response. She called out as loud as she could, "GODZILLA! DO YOU THINK YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS CAN TOPPLE THE REST OF THE MOUNTAIN?! WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT COSMINA'S LEGACY IS COMPLETELY BURIED UNDERNEATH IT!".

The mighty saurian answered, "WE SHALL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THIS MOUNTAIN IS NO MORE! MOTHRA, RODAN, ANGUIRUS, BIOLANTTE, KING CAESAR, AND JET JAGUAR! LET US DO WHAT WE DO BEST!". Each monster responded with their own unique roars, Jet Jaguar doing his poses before enlarging himself into his Monster-form. The people had to run away fast to give the titans wide berth as they went into positions around the mountain. James and many others were surprised when they saw Jet Jaguar go from human-size to kaiju-size in mere seconds.

Godzilla took the front position, the others now in a semi-circle of sort in front of the rocky formation. On his left was Anguirus, Mothra and Biolantte in that particular order. On his right was Jet Jaguar, King Caesar and Rodan. He looked to each of them, all of them nodding showing that they were ready to cut loose. Upon confirmation, the King of the Monsters exclaimed, "ALRIGHT, FELLOW KAIJU… ATTACK!". He let loose his signature roar for all to hear, Sofia among those just grinning at hearing the famous sound.

All attacked simultaneously with their unique, signature attacks! Anguirus went first, leaping at the mountain and rolling into his signature attack, the Thunderball move! The spiked monster rolled in the air at high velocity towards the mountain, slamming his bulk and spiky carapace into the rocky face! Giant chunks of rock and ice tumbled to the ground below, Anguirus uncurling from his form as he slid down the mountain and moved quickly to let the others have their shot.

Next was Mothra, who unleashed her potent Antennae Beam at the mountain! The pink ultra-sound energy beams struck the rocky face all over, the giant moth moving her head to spread the beam out more. Jagged lines of ruptured earth formed on the face of the mountain, rocks and ice falling down below to the base.

Biolantte was next, gathering up her strength and unleashing a torrent of her special Acid Sap Spray! Deadly green sap ejected from her mouth like a fountain, covering much of her target. Rock, earth and ice melted quickly and started to dissolve to the ground in a sizzling green goo that would soon eat itself up and become just harmless melted slop.

Rodan was next, flying into the air high and causing great amounts of wind to be kicked up from his wings! This did not faze the monsters, but the people nearby had to bunker down and anchor themselves somehow to the ground as to not be blown away. The massive pteranodon opened his beak and unleashed his Uranium Heat Beam, the light-purple colored energy streaking towards its target and blasting apart chunks of rock and ice as the mountain received heavy damage!

King Caesar was next, running to the massive stone formation and delivering a powerful drop kick to it that cracked much of the hard stone! He then rose up and unleashed furious kicks and body blows that would have staggered even the staunchest of kaiju, the mountain crumbling now under his onslaught! This kept up for about five minutes, until he was done and moved out of the way for his ally to do his part.

Jet Jaguar was up next, but this time he wanted to do this in a BIG way so… he transformed into his Titan-mode! He started to grow bigger, enlarging himself to such height that would actually dwarf even King Ghidorah himself! Godzilla and his allies actually had to move out of the way of the behemoth, while Sofia and her human friends/allies were now slack-jawed in awe that their mechanical friend had such an amazing ability! James whispered in awe, "He's… He's huge! He would make even a giant look like an ant!". Many agreed with him there.

The android member of G-Force & JSDF thought, 'I cannot use this form for too long, so I have to make it count quick!'. He looked to the rocky mountain, which now didn't look too big in his view, and started to smash it up! He pummeled the place with powerful karate chops and thrust kicks that really devastated the natural landscape! It was now really starting to be reduced to rubble! However, he only kept it up for about three minutes until his energy ran out. After delivering a powerful punch to his rocky target, Jet Jaguar started to shrink all the way down until he was back in his Human-mode form. His Titan-mode was a real power drain, and it would be some time until his power reserves were back to normal.

The final one up was Godzilla, the King of the Monsters taking a few earth-shaking steps back to face the mountain. The saurian roared loudly, his dorsal spines flashing a blue color before he opened his mouth to unleash his signature attack- the Radiation Death Breath! Blue flame energy raced towards what was left of the mountain, blowing it up more with rock and ice debris flying into the air from the explosions that took place where the beam hit! Sounds of thunder came from the attack, Godzilla keeping up the technique for about two minutes until he was complete.

The entire large mountain was now a large, smoldering pile of burnt rock and earth! The kaiju let out roars/cries of victory as the task was complete! The humans who had witnessed it all were very much in amazement, and some with a little fear, at the power they had witnessed. Sofia said to herself, "I'm glad that Godzilla and his friends are the good ones. I just hope that all of Cosmina's stuff is really gone…".

~End flashback~

Sofia was hoping that truly they had left Cosmina's legacy into the ground, where no one would ever find it. Jet Jaguar stated, "Your Highness, please relax. We did all that we could to make sure that mountain area was destroyed. All we can do is hope that whatever was in that mountain is now gone.". The princess knew that her friend was right, and so tried to relax a little. It was easy considering that she was exhausted from the fighting. She was really hoping and praying that any and all of Cosmina's evil was now buried under massive tons of rubble.

Sadly though… their hopes were in vain. While a majority of Cosmina's home was destroyed completely, a small section of it remained intact. This particular area was built deep underground, and protected by various magical spells from Cosmina. The place was about the size of Sofia's bedroom, but it was heavily fortified for a specific reason. It was there at the former sorceress housed many kind of artifacts; magical objects that held powerful but evil magic, and spells books that contained curses and rituals of the absolute worst kind ever! In fact, when Cosmina found these artifacts, even she was hesitant to use them. So she had them sealed up in what she referred to as the Safe Hold, one day hoping to use the spells ONLY when she officially worked with Maleficent. The woman wanted for the both of them to utilize the evil magic together.

~At Razorwood~

Morning was now rising for the small village, the people waking up as the sun was rising. Some of the citizens were rubbing the sleep out of their eyes when they saw that the 1,000 arch-angel soldiers that had been guarding their home were now gone! When it was discovered and announced, the whole place came alive and the people started to worry. One of the villagers found a note left by the heavenly warriors and read the contents of it. He spoke:

Everyone,

We have been recalled back to Heaven, as the battle between Cosmina and Sofia has ended. On a good note, we might add! All of the ones who left to fight will be coming home soon, alive and strong. So God bless you all for your bravery and courage that you have shown in being patient and hopeful!

Arch-Angel Crystal

The note did bring relief to the people, especially the families of the ones that did go to the battlefield. Shortly afterward, they felt the earth shake slightly and a unique noise filling the air. Lulu Runzi, the seven-year old daughter of Solta & Lisa, had a cute curious expression on her face and looked towards the west where the sounds were coming from. She then saw a sight that would forever be burned into her memory for all time. The little lady pointed to said direction and exclaimed, "Look! Look! It's Godzilla! Its him and… he's BIG!".

The people of Razorwood turned to where she was seeing, and all were indeed surprised & shocked to a new degree upon seeing the monsters… but in their view, titan-sized! The villagers were getting scared and anxious upon seeing the large kaiju coming towards them but it was Roger Korastor, the ten-year old son of Magric & Barbara that looked through a spyglass that he was holding and exclaimed, "Look! Look! I see Sofia and some others in Godzilla's hand, like he's carrying them! And I see the royal family on the other monsters! And… my Mom and Dad! They're all right!". That bit of news was something the people needed, as they squinted as hard as they could with their own eyes & true enough, saw the entire company in the titans care!

Godzilla looked down to see the village, and growled softly when he came close to the entrance to the area. He said, "Okay everyone, this is where we stop. Jet Jaguar, help Sofia down.". He bent down as low as he could get to, putting his clawed hand to the ground so the humans could get off. The android nodded, going to the tired princess and helping her off from her friend's hand. Sofia was very tired, and was on the verge of nodding off but she managed to stay away if only barely.

The remaining monsters also lowered themselves to the ground so their passengers could get off, Rodan and Mothra throwing up some strong winds that knocked some off of their feet & swayed the trees but thankfully none were injured & the trees remained rooted. The people rushed over to aid their fellow villagers, going to those that were very tired and helping them in any way that they could. The royal family were also aided, being escorted to where Sofia was so they could be together. Amber flew down to where they were, many gasping in amazement at seeing their princess being able to fly.

Cindy Wing, loving wife and devoted to both her husband Rick & God, went to her beloved and asked, "What happened? We all felt the earth tremble, and saw many lights in the distance! Is everyone okay?!". She was startled a little to see her husband having many scars on him, but they were all light as if he was healed quickly.

Rick went to his better half and answered, "Everyone is okay, dear. We fought a VERY tough fight, but we all made it in one piece. And believe me, it's a real tale to tell but for later.". Cindy saw that her dear one was exhausted, just like the rest of the volunteers when they got off the monsters. The adrenaline that was coursing through the ones that had sit on Rodan was now wearing off and they looked to be a bit more tired now than the rest.

Meanwhile, Jet Jaguar looked around and spotted Garza Greenstone among the ones helping the others. He went to him and asked, "Mayor Greenstone, is it possible for the royal family to sleep in your home? They need rest and I believe that your dwelling is large enough to house them comfortably.".

The leader of the village nodded and replied, "Of course! It would be an honor to let the Enchancia royal members to sleep in my home. Come, bring them over while me and my wife get everything set up.". He quickly went over to his abode, which was a little bit larger and well-kept then the other houses. But that was a given since he was the leader of the small village. On the way, he saw his wife Marie Greenstone helping one of the volunteers get to their family. He called her over, and when he explained the situation to her, the woman was very pleased & both went to their home to set everything up.

Roland, Miranda, James and Amber looked around the village and the king stated, "So this is Razorwood… I remember coming here as a teenager, but it seems to haven't changed much…". To him, it still looked the same especially upon seeing the Gathering Tree! The tree had been restored along with the village, the strong silver fir standing healthy & strong once more. Roland had come to Razorwood when he was coming of age, and that was during the Wassaslia holiday.

Jet Jaguar went to the royal family and stated, "Everyone, follow me. Mayor Greenwood and his wife have kindly allowed you all to sleep in his home.". The group followed the metal marvel, coming to the abode of the elderly leader and went inside. The company saw that the home was quaint and cozy, not too large but with an air of warmth and security that was very nice. It is there that they saw Marie, the old but lively wife putting some large, fluffy blankets down in the living room while her husband moved some of the furniture around to make room.

Miranda went to Garza and insisted, "Here, let me help you with that.". She helped him push a small but heavy wood chair into a corner of the room, Roland going to assist as well. The children helped out Marie with the blankets, the lovely mature lady very glad & grateful for the help.

Once everything was settled, Marie spoke, "Thank you, your Highnesses. We really appreciate it. Now, this is the best we can offer so I hope you don't mind it being small…". Sofia interrupted her, saying that it was perfect. In a way, she wasn't wrong. The living room was spacious enough for all of them, and for the moment they did want to sleep together as a family.

Garza thanked the king and queen for their assistance, than went to his wife. He looked to the royal ones and stated, "You can all sleep here for as long as you like. The villagers will most likely keep the noise level down since all of you who came back are in the same shape you are in.".

Roland replied, "Thank you, and you have a good point. All of us are exhausted after a very tiring battle…".

Marie put in, "If you dears need anything, don't hesitate to call us. We'll be upstairs if you need us.". Miranda thanked the couple, than asked if there was a place for them to change into something a little more comfortable.

Almost after saying that, something incredible happened! A flash of light appeared over them all, and their outfits were off of them! Their battle uniforms were floating in mid-air now in front of their owners, going to a corner in the living room where they laid themselves down, all folded and neat. Sofia and her family looked down with some fright, thinking they were now without clothes. Thankfully though, their dignity was still intact as they were now wearing nightwear. In fact, the royal family was wearing the same night clothing they had on the day they were kidnapped! But instead of being smelly or dirty like before, it was all new, clean & fresh. Their shoes were also removed by mystical means, going to be near the clothing.

Even Sofia was in her nightgown! All were just surprised on what had happened, and the little lady turned to see that her sword was once again the staff that Solta gave to her earlier! Said magical object floated from her hand, and went to be propped against the wall with the other items. The Amulet of Avalor still hung around her neck, as it preferred to stay with her.

The entire company was dumbstruck on what just occurred, and it was James that spoke. He tried to break the awkward tension by saying, "Heh… well… at least we don't have to worry about sleeping now…". The entire group just nodded, and gradually the shock wore down. Garza and Marie gave the royal ones a final bow of respect before going upstairs to their own quarters.

Miranda covered her mouth when she yawned, going to the makeshift blanket-bed and lying down near the middle of it. Roland smiled, going to get the large quilt-blanket that was nearby and preparing to cover them. He motioned for his children to go first, Sofia going to her mother's left side to snuggle against. Amber followed, going to be behind her sister. The king took up his beloved wife's right side, putting the blanket on the ladies before going under the covers as well. James went to sleep beside his father, and soon all of the royal family went to Slumberland together.

Outside of the abode, the monsters were also getting ready to take a little snooze. Rodan found himself a suitable spot to lie down in, laying himself flat on the ground since there was no suitable sound, strong structure for him to prop up against. Mothra did the same, going to a wide enough area for her to get some sleep while the Twin Fairies started to doze off on her head. Anguirus made a soft growl before tucking his legs in and going to sleep. King Caesar went to a spot for himself, going on all fours and getting into Sleep-mode, like he usually would do back in the Toho universe in Okinawa. Biolantte dug her roots into the ground, to both absorb nutrients and heat, before going to the land of dreams. Jet Jaguar actually took a spot underneath the Gathering Tree, going into Standby-mode to regain his energy. His back was to the silver fir, his head slumped down slightly as he powered-down.

Godzilla looked around to see his fellow kaiju going to sleep, and down below to see the villagers also going to their abodes. The King of the Monsters growled softly, sitting on his haunches as he now looked like a titanic sentinel guardian for Razorwood. The saurian slowly lowered his eyes, sleep claiming in him as he felt that there was no danger around.

~Early evening~

It was about 7:30 p.m., evening starting to come as the sun was sinking over the horizon. The moon was starting to rise up, the stars blinking into existence as the fiery orange orb was almost gone. That is when Sofia woke up first, moaning softly as she stirred from her slumber. She rose up slowly, part of the blanket sliding off from her as she looked to her left and right side to see her family. All wore peaceful, content smiles on their faces as they slept. The princess soon sported a soft, warm smile herself as she knew very well that this was the first time in quite a while that they had slept this soundly.

She carefully made her way out of the covers, making sure that she would not wake any of them. As soon as she stood up, she heard noises outside. Making her way carefully and quietly towards the window, she looked out from it to see that a majority of the villagers were gathered just outside the door! She wondered outloud, "Huh? What is going on?". The princess looked around for something to wear, and spotted a large light-blue coat that happened to be Marie's hanging on a coatrack. She took the garment, put it on her body for warmth & some extra decency, and opened the door as quietly as possible.

Standing now before her was the Runzi family, the Korastor family, the Howard family, the Wing family and many more! It was almost like the entire town had come to the base of the mayor's home! And looking upward, she saw Godzilla and the other monsters awake. Jet Jaguar was also back at optimum energy levels, and most of his minor injuries were also repaired. The main problem was his internal systems, but thankfully all was repaired within too. In fact… he was now at Monster-form, standing between Godzilla and King Caesar!

Sofia asked softly, "W-What is going on? Have you been waiting for us?".

David came forth and answered, "We have, your Highness. We wanted to see if you and your family were awake, and also alright.".

His wife Gwendolyn put in, "We also wanted to thank you for all that you have done for us… for the village, and the other ones that had fallen to Cosmina years before.".

The princess replied, "Well… you're welcome, everyone. But all of you pitched in too, and we had a lot of help from Godzilla and the others…". It was Magric who raised his hand, interrupting the little lady from finishing the rest of her words.

The magic-crafter spoke, "I hate to interrupt you, your Grace. But while you did say was true, it was you who brought in the legendary heroes and heroines that we often read about in books. It was you who was able to gain Heaven's help in bringing to this world the legendary monsters that we now know. And it was you who fought hard and valiantly, despite your age & experience, to bring your family back together.".

His wife Barbara added, "And it was you who actually forgave Cosmina when she asked for it. You showed us you have more inner strength within you to forgive a former enemy like that, especially after all she has done.". Many agreed with her there, the villagers that were not there were told the tale of the battle by those who witnessed it all at the mountains.

Sofia blushed prettily, her cheeks red from embarrassment from all the praise. She calmed down a little and remarked, "Thank you… thank you all for your words of praise. But, in truth I had a lot of help from above! I mean, it wasn't just me that was able to summon Ariel, Cinderella, Melody and the rest over here. I could never have done that with the amulet alone, and also it was God who brought back Godzilla and his friends. And I couldn't have done it all without any encouragement and counseling from all of you! And… well, it was Jesus who forgive Cosmina first. I was the second, and it felt just… well, good and reliving to forgive her.".

Godzilla roared loudly to get everyone's attention, and the saurian spoke with proud words, "We can hear all of your words, and I must say that myself… I am proud of your words and actions, little Sofia the First. You have strength & courage, tempered with wisdom and humility. I can see why the High One Above looked upon you favorably.". After speaking that… the mighty King of the Monsters actually bowed his head slightly to Sofia! If any of the humans back in the Toho universe had seen this, they would have been shocked silly! The other kaiju and Jet Jaguar also gave Sofia a bow of respect, which really surprised her greatly.

Pastor Rick looked to the monsters, than to Sofia. He smiled softly and stated, "Your Grace, there you have it. I believe that Godzilla has spoken true about you now. You faced fear and terror you never seen before, but instead of hiding or running… you faced it with courage, honor and strength. The kind that normal being could only hope to have. So indeed, I can see why the Lord favored you here during these days for you.". He then bowed to the princess, the others soon following suite.

Sofia the First was really red like a strawberry, a bit unaccustomed to receiving such praise like this. She heard a voice behind her say, "Take it in all in, my daughter. You have more than earned it.". She turned around to see that the one who spoke was her father, King Roland! He was up, and also dressed in some common garments. He was smiling proudly at her, like a father would to their child after accomplishing something great. Joining him was Miranda, Amber and James. All were wearing commoner clothing like Roland, only coats though covered her siblings. Behind them was Garza and Marie, whom who was also smiling at her.

It seemed that the couple had awakened like the others, and had given some of their clothing to the royal family to cover their decency. That would explain why the commoner clothing was a bit tight on her parents, and only coats for the kids since any clothing they had would be too big on them.

James grinned at his sister and said, "Dad's right, Sofia! You have really earned all of this! So just enjoy it and take it in!".

Amber added, "Our brother has a point Sofia. You humble yourself well, which is good. But… you really earned this kind of praise, dear sister. So enjoy it all.".

Miranda went to her daughter, smiling lovingly and proudly, and gave her a hug. Sofia was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of this, and started to cry a little as she returned the hug. The rest of the family just smiled and came in for the hug, supporting their own as best they could. The others watched on, just glad to have witnessed something so good & heart-warming as this.

After some time within the hug, Sofia was released from it but she savored it all. She looked to everyone and said, "Thank you… just… thank you so much! I appreciate all of it, and of course all of you who helped me out. I really do want to take it all in… but give credit also to the one who was with me all the way through this. With all of us!". She looked up to the sky, and saw the stars in the heavens above. She bowed to one knee, head also bowed. That was when a bright blue light shinned down on her, and all knew that it was the Maker Himself that was pleased with the princess.

One by one, the villagers and the royal family bowed as well to one knee. Even the titanic monsters bowed their heads deeply to the Light!

After some time, Sofia looked up and gasped on what she saw. The Razorwood citizens and royal ones did the same, and they too gasped as they looked up to where the light was coming from. Up above… the legendary heroes and heroines who had been there in the battle was smiling down at them! Hercules, Megera, Pocahontas, Quasimodo, and many more waved as they looked down from Heaven at them. The angels and arch-angels were there too, including Josiah! The entire Army of Light that had been with Sofia was waving at them, showing their support and proudness of the princess! And among them was Cosmina, along with the Liviu family clan!

Sofia was again overwhelmed, but this time there was a smile on her face as small tears of happiness and joy escaped from her beautiful eyes. The entire company that was in Paradise stayed and waved to the mortals below for a while, than the light started to fade as the entrance to Heaven closed up. Soon, only starry skies occupied the space where Paradise was once at.

The princess was so happy now, it was vibrating within her very being! However, a sparkle appeared in the sky that caught her attention. It looked to be like a mini-falling star, and it got closer to the mortals until it turned out to be a parchment of paper. Sofia grabbed it, and unfurled it while the others looked on in surprise on what had just occurred. Sofia read the contents of the letter:

Dear Sofia,

We just heard and saw everything, and it is amazing how much humility and wisdom you possess! The Big Guy here is proud of you! I know we all are! Listen, you better get going back home to your castle. There is only so much stalling that the Good Fairies, Cedric and your animal buddies can do until the kingdom gets wise to what is going on. Again, all are very proud of you! Always know that!

Sincerely,

Sebastian

Sofia the First was very amazed that this was a letter from Sebastian, the red crab musical genius of Atlantica! But that was when it hit her… the others were still stalling for them back home! She exclaimed, "Oh! I forgot about them! Oh… we have to get back home quickly! Otherwise there might be trouble if the Good Fairies and the others are found out!".

Miranda looked to the monsters and called out, "GODZILLA, EVERYONE! THINK YOU CAN GIVE US A LIFT BACK HOME? I'M SORRY IF THIS IS TROUBLESOME BUT…".

Biolantte moaned loudly, than spoke in her human voice, "Nonsense, Lady Miranda! It is no bother at all for us! We shall take you all back to your home!".

Anguirus put in, "It's going to be surprising for her home to see giant monsters like us coming in. I wonder if we're going to start a panic like we always do…".

James called out, "NOT AT ALL! I MEAN, SURE EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE SURPRISED! BUT THE ENTIRE KINGDOM LOVES YOU GUYS… AND GIRLS! YOU'LL BE WELCOMED IN ENCHANCIA! TRUST US ON THAT!".

Amber stated, "But… But… we cannot go home like this! How will we explain this to everyone! Not just the monsters, but also why we were away?! And our clothing…!". Indeed, it seemed that problems now started to arise on what could be done to explain the kaiju and the royal family's current state.

Sofia started to think hard, than something came to mind. She exclaimed, "I think I got something on our clothing situation! Hold on!". She rushed past her family and the Greenstones, going inside and quickly coming back out with her magical staff. The princess felt the magical object hum greatly, apparently very eager to help its master in any way.

The princess looked to her family, than at the Greenstones. She asked, "Ummm… do you mind if we borrow your clothes? After everything is said and done, we can return them to you.". Garza and Marie laughed at her, and the elderly leader said to consider the clothing as gifts. Sofia smiled brightly, than turned to her family. She waved her staff at them, the beryl-tipped gemstone glowing a bright red as magical sparkles exited from it and covered the group. Sofia spoke a magic incantation, and soon herself and the royal ones were engulfed in a flash of red light!

The audience had to turn their heads to avoid getting blinded by the flash, but it quickly died down… and the whole village saw that Sofia and her family were wearing their regular royal clothing! Sofia had used her magical training from Royal Prep Academy to change the outfits they had on to their regular royal wear! Amber was surprised, but in a pleasant way as she twirled a little to see that she was now back to her regular, true form! James was also pleased to be back in his normal attire, Roland & Miranda more impressed with the skill that their daughter just displayed.

Solta went to the princess and stated, "That was very impressive skill you displayed, your Grace. By the way, have you found a suitable name for your staff? I believe that you have now earned the right to give it one.".

Sofia looked at the magic warrior, than to her magical object which hummed. And her eyes widened why a powerful male voice came into her head, 'I am pleased to now have the honor of being named! Let it be one that shows not what I am… but what we also stand for!'.

The potent princess of Enchancia thought on it for a bit, than smiled and answered, "I have it! The name of my staff is Christopher. I just learned that it is actually a he, and I think it suits him fine.". Many of the citizens agreed that the name was suitable, especially for a staff that had just been through its paces. In fact, the magical object seemed to be delighted at it glowed and hummed.

Magric went to the two and said to Sofia, "A fine name for a fine staff. I can only hope and pray that you two bond together more in the future. Also, I highly recommend that you brush up not just on your magical skills but also on your combat ones. It may come in handy in the future.". Sofia was a bit surprised at the last part, but she did see that Mr. Korastor had a point. She had gotten VERY lucky in the fight, and after enduring and coming out alive, she now believed it to be best to at least learn some self-defense skills.

Mr. Howard went to Sofia and inquired, "Well, you got the clothes down? Any idea on what you're going to say to the people on where you all were at?".

This time it was Roland who came forth and replied, "I think we can come up with something along the way. Just have faith that we can handle it.". The young warrior was a bit hesitant, but realized that everything had been going good so far. So best to trust his rulers.

Sofia went forth and hugged Solta, Magric, Lisa, Barbara, Rick, David, Gwendolyn, and more as she was thanking them for everything. After that, she went over to the Greenstones and hugged them too as well. The princess looked to all and stated, "Thank you everyone for everything! After things settle down, we'll all come back and visit the village again!". All hoped that they would, and under better circumstances.

The princess went inside the Greenstone home and used her staff to shrink down the celestial battle garments, putting them in her pocket where she would enlarge them at a later time. When she came back out, she saw that her family was waiting for her as they were prepared to go towards the titanic monsters. Before she joined them, Gwendolyn inquired, "Do you think you'll get there in time? It's about a two day or so journey from here to your kingdom.".

Miranda spoke this time as she heard her and answered, "Oh, I think we can cut that time in half. Especially considering our means of transportation.". All looked up the monsters, who roared softly as they were all set for the journey. Sofia smiled at her mother, than at Gwendolyn before agreeing with her. She gave the woman one last hug before going to her family, all walking towards the Toho legends.

The villagers waved and cheered as they saw their rulers off! It was certainly a day to remember for the rest of their lives! One of the villagers, a drawer/painter of exceptional skill and craft that had been part of the volunteers of the mission, said to himself, "I really want to make sure that all that has happened here is marked down in history for all to see! I need to get to work soon!". The artist had a photographic memory, which was extremely rare in this day and age, so he would recall with excellent clarity and detail all that had happened & put it down in his drawings.

~At Enchancia Castle~

It was now December 20th, morning coming once again as the sun started to rise into the sky. Of course, there was something unusual this morning. A vast majority of the citizens were in front of the castle, wondering on what was going on. Yesterday evening, King Roland had made an announcement for all to be at the castle gates in the morning for an important announcement. Many were puzzled by this, but they all arrived as per his request.

Said king was beside his family, with Fauna and Merryweather also with them, and the monarch looked to be a bit nervous. Miranda and touched his hand, nodding to him with a smile on her face as if saying it would be alright. One of Princess Sofia's friends that was within the crowd, Princess Cleo of Corinthia, called out, "Excuse me, your Highness! But can you kindly tell us on why you wanted us to be here this very early in the morning?".

King Roland nodded, taking a deep breath before answering, "Of course, your Grace Cleo. The announcement is this… for the past few days or so, a great trick had been put into play. One on the entire realm! One could say that it was a prank…". Of course, this got a gasp out of many of the citizens and visitors to the kingdom. They were now wondering on what this trick could be, and who would have the audacity to prank the Enchancia royal family.

Queen Miranda spoke, "Indeed, a grand prank that we do deeply apologize for. So…". The onlookers were confused… until their queen was engulfed in red light, and standing before them now was Flora! The red-garbed Good Fairy had just revealed herself! A loud gasp and a clamor started to rise up, and it increased in volume when Sofia, Amber and James also were engulfed in light! The light was blue this time, and coming forth was Sofia's animal friends! James had turned into Clover, Amber into Mia the bluebird, and Sofia into Robin!

Of course, things got REALLY loud when King Roland was engulfed in magical sparkles as well… and in his place was the Royal Sorcerer Cedric!

The citizens cried out, "WHAT IS GOING ON?! WHAT IS THIS?! WHERE IS THE REAL ROYAL FAMILY?!". The tension further increased when the royal guards were upon the deceivers, their weapons pointed right at them. For the defenders of the castle and realm, they did not take too kindly to being fooled in such a manner.

Cedric was very nervous now and stated, "Calm down, calm down everyone! Please! We can explain… really we can!".

One of the guards narrowed his eyes at the sorcerer and remarked harshly, "How is it that you can explain this, let alone justify this kind of outrage?!".

Merryweather defended the mortal magic-user and said, "The real royal family had to leave somewhere urgent, on a mission of sort! They asked us to fill in for them until they returned! Roland himself told us that they would be back this morning with a… a… a surprise to show us!".

Princess Zooey inquired loudly for all to hear, "A surprise?! Just what kind of surprise that requires something done on this kind of scale!?". She, and the others, would get their answer real soon!

Jade and Ruby, two of Sofia and Amber's commoner friends, soon heard a faint BOOMING sound even amongst the chatter and cries of the villagers. The two little ladies soon felt the stone bridge they were on vibrate a little… and it had nothing to do with the people on it now. Jade's ears picked up, finding an unusual sound. She did her best to tune the outrage of the citizens down, and listened for it. She turned to the west, and saw something coming into the distance… something huge!

She pointed towards the place in question and exclaimed, "Everyone! Look! Over there! Something big is coming!". The adults ignored her, but the friends of Sofia, James and Amber listened to her and looked towards the distance. They all squinted their eyes to get a better look, and soon gasped could be heard when they saw that coming towards them was… Godzilla!

Ruby exclaimed, "EVERYONE! EVERYONE, LOOK! IT'S GODZILLA! GODZILLA IS COMING THIS WAY! AND HE'S NOT ALONE!". The adults looked to her as if she was crazy, but few of them looked and they too saw the saurian. Quickly, the population turned to see that indeed coming over to their location was the King of the Monsters himself! And following close behind were the other kaiju!

Roland's sister, Matilida a.k.a. Tilly, was with the royal family as well. She had come to visit her brother a couple of days ago, but when she first arrived, she saw through the disguises. Cedric and Flora revealed themselves to her when they got caught, and told her the situation. Needless to say, the feisty and unique woman agreed to help out with this charade as it was for the sake of her family. That, and also going against the orders of a real angel was a BAD idea in her mind.

She brought out from her golden handbag a spyglass and looked right through it. She was amazed at seeing Godzilla, the pictures she had seen of the beast did little justice in seeing the real deal. She looked down to his upper body, and saw something small standing in his right clawed hand. She twisted the spyglass mechanism to zoom in closer… and she exclaimed in delight, "Look! It's Sofia! Sofia's riding in the hand of Godzilla!".

Many looked to the woman, wondering if it was true. One of the guards took the spyglass, looked through it and confirmed it! The whole population was now clamoring on what was just going on, confusion replacing rage which was a good thing in this case. Tilly took back the spyglass, looking to the guard and saying that it was a bit rude to take it without her permission. Fauna asked the aunt of the royal little ones if she could see through them, and of course Tilly answered by giving the object to her.

She looked through the spyglass and towards the other monsters and soon exclaimed, "I see King Roland on Anguirus, Miranda on Biolantte, Amber on Mothra, and James on Rodan! They really are back!".

One could say this about the royal family… when they made an entrance, they did it in style!

(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! Whew… again, this was a bit difficult to make but fun as well! I just came back from watching Disney on Ice: Follow Your Heart at the Alamodome here in my hometown, and it was awesome! So classic, good and real! I really hope that Disney sticks to the true animated versions, instead of the remake ones.

Before I do or say anything else, I want to give praise and thanks to God once again for helping me out! Thank you Lord for all that you have done, and also for giving me the strength, courage and determination to see this mini-novel all the way through! Jesus, thank you for the reviewers that have aided me. And thank you for helping me and my family out. I hope to do my best for you in all I do!

The scene I put here, of Sofia kneeling to God and the light shining down on her… I was inspired by one of the great scenes I saw when I was a kid. It was from Joshua and the Battle of Jericho from one of my fave Hannah-Barbera's series The Greatest Adventures: Stories from the Bible! In the episode, Joshua bows to God and he is shinned with glory from the Lord. In my view, the greatest honor one can ever hope to achieve. I wanted Sofia to feel proud of her accomplishments but not prideful. There is a difference between the two. She is glad to have done so much, exceeded even her own expectations! But she is humble and also knows who to give credit and praise to as well.

After the next chapter, expect to see the Toho and Disney epilogues! I really hoped you all enjoyed the mini-novel so far! More surprises will be coming your way, that I can assure to all of you! And also the fate of the Safe Hold will be shown in one of the epilogues, so in the words of the villainous lion Scar… BE PREPARED! Heh, sorry… couldn't resist!

Now for the questions:

Which monster would you want to ride on back to Razorwood? And why?

What would you be thinking after seeing the Toho monsters level the mountain with their signature attacks?

If you were given the option, which would you choose; Having Godzilla & his comrades level the mountain immediately? Or send in a team to thoroughly check the abode for anything dangerous before letting the monsters do the destruction?

Would you let Sofia and her family use your home to rest in for the day? If so, what would you do to make it more comfortable to them?

If the Toho kaiju bowed to you in respect, what would your reaction be?

And finally… if you were in the crowd at the castle, and saw the monsters back alive in the flesh & carrying the royal family, what would your first words be upon seeing that sight?

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