Bagorah snarled as he locked on to the SkyWing kingdom, smelling hundreds of delicious little fleshy snacks that would soon quench his hunger for blood. Bagorah shrieked, beckoning his horde of Gyaos to divebomb the palace. Hundreds of Gyaos dove towards the palace, opening their jaws and firing concentrated beams of deadly yellow light. The palace was sliced in three sections, erupting in numerous explosions. Queen Scarlet was quickly evacuated as rubble fell from the roof, the SkyWings having a first look at the giant blanket of death that was swarming the kingdom. SkyWing soldiers took to the skies in a attempt to combat the Gyaos, but were quickly eviscerated by the swarm. Bagorah watched with glee as the tiny, screaming orange and red dots that were dragons zigzagged all around in a panic. The giant bat landed on the ground, preparing to pounce on a tiny SkyWing hatchling who froze with fear at the sight of the Kaiju. Before Bagorah could devour the morsal, a blinding blue light caught everyone off guard. The Gyaos and Bagorah froze for a moment, staring at the blue beam of light. The beam dissipated, once again leaving a giant tower of smoke. One curious Gyaos flew close to the smoke, trying to get a good look at what was inside. All of a sudden, a giant, scaly, clawed hand reached out and grabbed the poor Gyaos, pulling it into the smoke. When the tower finally dissapated, Godzilla stood there, the three hundred foot tall saurian snarling as he chewed up the now dead Gyaos. Bagorah snarled, bearing his wicked fangs. Ever since their very first encounter, Bagorah was bent on two things: the usual bloodthirst for living creatures, and a burning vengeance for Godzilla after the saurian practically blown him into the ocean. Bagorah spreaded his wings and shrieked, flying straight at Godzilla. With a swing of his powerful tail, Godzilla knocked the giant bat into the ground. With another shriek, Bagorah commanded the Gyaos to focus their attack on Godzilla. Godzilla snarled as Gyaos fired their hyper beams at the saurian, inflicting several smoking wounds on his body. Godzilla retaliated by charging up his dorsal plates and firing a massive atomic blast out of his jaws, slicing down hundreds of Gyaos with the deadly blue thermonuclear beam. As Godzilla cut down the Gyaos horde with his atomic breath, Bagorah snuck up behind the Kaiju king. Bagorah pounced on Godzilla, sinking his fangs into Godzilla's neck and drawing blood. Godzilla roared angrily, grabbing Bagorah by the wings and flipping the giant bat on his back. Godzilla began to rage-stomp on the bat, crushing Bagorah underfoot. Bagorah uttered a sonic screech, forcing Godzilla to back off. Bagorah took to the air and began viciously clawing at Godzilla. Bagorah managed to pin the saurian on his side, shrieking viciously as he prepared to rip a chunk of flesh out of Godzilla. Suddenly, a large boulder smashed into Bagorah's backside, throwing the giant bat off his feet. Godzilla could see Clay and the other dragonets loading another boulder onto a makeshift catapult made out of wood, stone, and sturdy vines.
"Whoo! We got him!" Clay exclaimed. Bagorah snapped out of his daze, snarling. Shoving Godzilla down, Bagorah leaped at the dragonets, smashing the catapult to pieces as he swung at them. Clay and the others made a run for it, prompting Bagorah to give chase. Godzilla had recovered and grabbed Bagorah by the tail before he could snatch Sunny in his jaws. With a jerk, Godzilla smashed Bagorah on the ground. When the giant bat tried to get airborne, Godzilla charged his dorsal plates and fired a blast of blue thermonuclear fire at Bagorah, sending the giant bat hurling off a cliff and straight into the ocean. Bagorah uttered a furious screech as he plummeted into the ocean, seemingly disappearing beneath the waves. Godzilla snarled before he began to revert to his dragon form. As the swirl of light blue energy dissapated, Godzilla stood at the wreckage as a dragon once more. He watched the remnants of the Gyaos horde flying away. Normally, he'd chase after the Gyaos and finish them off, but Godzilla found himself too exhausted from dueling with Bagorah. Clay and the others rushed towards Godzilla with proud grins on their faces. Godzilla returned their gestures with a scowl.
"I told you to run away. You could've been killed." Godzilla said in a scolding tone.
"We couldn't leave you to fight those monsters all alone." Sunny argued. "We thought you needed help."
"I didn't ask for your help. I was handling it just fine." Godzilla growled.
"Well, it didn't look like you were handling it very well a few minutes ago." Glory piped up. Godzilla growled quietly and began to head north.
"Where are you going?" Clay asked.
"Finding food. I'm hungry." Godzilla replied. The dragonets decided to follow Godzilla into the lush forests. Unbeknownst to Godzilla and the others, Bagorah had survived falling into the ocean. The giant bat snarled as he made his way to a separate island chain.
