U.S.A.: A semi carrying nuclear waste was traveling down a highway surrounded by several hummers. A dozen soldiers stood alert on the three hummers as the convoy traveled along. Then suddenly shots rang out and the soldiers were gunned to death as several more hummers shot in to take their place and destroyed the army hummers. The semi was boarded and the driver was shot and thrown out as the driver's partner took control of the semi. The whole incident took place in less than a minute and no warning was sent to the army. The whole convoy then disappeared down a secret entrance in the ground a few miles away and was gone.
James Bond casually walked into MI6 and walked into M's office.
"It's about time you got here 007," she said.
"Sorry M. I was 'busy'," said Bond.
"I don't care about your personal business. This whole fiasco with nuclear waste has me worried. A third truck was hijacked this morning in the U.S. The soldiers safeguarding it were found dead halfway between the checkpoints along with the driver. We can only assume that the driver's partner was in on the whole event. James you know as well as I do that nuclear waste is just as deadly as a nuclear bomb. In the wrong hands who knows what could happen," said M. Bond considered the possibilities.
"It would be the same as granting in any country in the world as a nuclear power. If the waste were to be set off in a major city, the effects would be disastrous. We're looking at the total chaos and panic should Washington D.C., London, France, Moscow, or any other major city were destroyed. It could also be used as a bargaining tool in international affairs. Simply put it would not be good," said Bond. M nodded.
"Exactly. That's why I'm assigning you as part of the convoy that's transporting nuclear waste through the city today. It's imperative that the waste doesn't fall into enemy hands," said M.
"M, I'm a double o agent, not a security guard. I don't see why I have to do something more equipped for the military," said Bond.
"James you will help escort this convoy. If the U.S. military couldn't stop a hijacking of the nuclear waste then I highly doubt we will have much more success. Nevertheless we must try. Go down to Q Branch and get the proper equipment for this assignment. Then report to the military branch located in this dossier. Good luck 007," said M. Bond picked up the dossier and left not willing to press the subject. Clearly M wouldn't let him out of the mission and he figured it would be for the best to protect the nuclear waste even though it fell out of his job description. Bond walked down to Q branch where he saw Q wearing glasses.
"Vision failing Q?" asked Bond. Q shook his head.
"Nope," he responded. Dual laser flew out from the sides and obliterated a nearby dummy. Q took off the glasses and walked up to Bond.
"Follow me 007. I'll show your new gear. And please 007, I say this every time, but please bring this stuff back in one piece," said Q. Bond chuckled.
"No promises Q," he responded. Q sighed and walked over to a car.
"Regular BMW only with the usual modifications, rockets, booster, etc. Since you'll be dealing with radiation a thin yet powerful lead shield surrounds the car. The car is also equipped to become a submersible although I don't what you'd need that for but you never know. Your suit is also surrounded with lead and when you press your left cufflink your body becomes surrounded by a lead shield that pops out of your suit. The only final addition is your watch has been modified to include a Geiger counter," said Q. Bond nodded.
"Thanks Q," said Bond.
"Of course with any luck when you return we'll be able to save on lighting bills because you'll glow in the dark," said Q adding quickly before walking off. Bond chuckled watching him go. Then he hopped into the BMW and took off.
Atlantic Ocean just outside the U.K.: A dark shadow moved underwater towards the island. The shadow was easily pulling 40 knots but it was unnoticed by all since it didn't create a wake by being under the waters surface. The creature was attracted to the radiation and soon it would absorb it and power itself up to maximum power. The creature smiled and swam on.
London: The convoy headed down several deserted streets that had been cleared by the military. Bond looked a little out of place in his BMW because of the military vehicle escort, but he didn't care because hopefully they'd tell him to leave. The convoy rounded a corner and that's when the action began. A dozen people rushed into the roadway and started firing at the convoy. The hummers blocked the way and the soldiers leapt out of the hummers and began firing back. Bond slammed on the brakes, grabbed his PPK, jumped out of the car, and began firing also.
MI6: Alarms started blaring all over the building. M walked into the main operations room.
"What's going on?" she demanded. Bill Tanner pointed to a map of the U.K. showing a red dot moving towards London.
"A few moments ago we detected this blip on the super Geiger," said Tanner. M looked at the dot curiously.
"Is it a sub?" she asked. Bill shook his head.
"No sub could emit the type of radiation we're detecting. Only one thing could and I'm afraid to even mention its name," said Bill. M looked at the dot again and then she realized what it was.
"It isn't," she began.
"It is. Warn the PM because Godzilla is approaching London at 40 knots an hour," said Bill. M ran off to contact the prime minister.
London: Air raid sirens blared in all corners of the city as a massive wake in the ocean moved towards the Thames River. Then Godzilla (identical to the one from Godzilla 2000) burst out of the water and began roaring in defiance at the city. Godzilla proceeded down the Thames River and destroyed the famed Thames River Bridge. Godzilla then walked up onto land and began cutting a swath of destruction through the city.
Convoy: More bullets flew back and forth as people were struck down on both sides. Bond continued firing until the air raid sirens came on. The fighting stopped as large explosions were heard in the background. Then a familiar roar was heard and the whole ground rumbled in the form of giant footsteps. The attempted hijackers fled in different directions. Bond ran after the one who appeared to be in charge. The woman ran down several streets and Bond followed in close pursuit. The woman disappeared down a corner and when Bond rounded it the woman slammed her fist into him causing him to drop his gun. They fought for the next few minutes in the street as attack helicopters and fighter jets flew overhead to engage Godzilla. After a few more minutes the fighting ended when the woman grabbed her gun and trained it on him.
"Why do you want that waste?" Bond asked.
"It isn't important," said the woman.
"Are you in league with those who stole three other shipments of nuclear waste?" asked Bond. The woman trained the gun on him.
"That's none of your business. Goodbye whoever you are," said the woman. She was about to fire when a shadow loomed over them. They looked up to see Godzilla looking down at both of them confused at what they were doing. Then the spines on Godzilla lit up and Godzilla opened his mouth to spew out radioactive fire. Bond quickly activated the shield and it surrounded him. Bond only hoped that the shield of lead would protect him against Godzilla's concentrated radiation blast. The temperature inside the shield began to rise. Since he couldn't see outside, Bond waited a few moments and then retracted the shield. The whole ground had been charred to a crisp including the woman whom he'd tried to question. Godzilla was long gone by that point and Bond ran back to the convoy. When he got there he found the waste container next to the semi. Bond checked it with his Geiger counter and it showed no radiation. The soldiers guarding it were cowering in fear nearby. Bond hopped into his BMW and drove off chasing after the monster. Godzilla was currently making his way towards Buckingham Palace where the queen and royal family had already been evacuated. Several tanks rolled between Godzilla and the palace and opened fire. Godzilla roared in anger as the shells exploded against his skin. Then more attack helicopters arrived and opened fire as well. Godzilla trudged forward despite the onslaught. Godzilla slammed through the tanks and then slammed into Buckingham Palace. Priceless antiques and valuables were destroyed as the monster continued his trek through the city.
MI6: "Where is that thing headed?" asked M.
"We don't know. All we know is that it's moving somewhere with a purpose," said Tanner. M continued to consider Godzilla's movements. She doubted Godzilla would go all this way from the Pacific Ocean just to destroy Buckingham Palace but what? She noted that unless Godzilla changed his path he would head out of the city and into the country. She then briefly considered that Godzilla changed his path to the radioactive waste and Bond had just reported in saying how the waste was devoid of radiation. Then M thought about how once Godzilla had surfaced in Japan only to absorb radiation from a nuclear reactor.
"Tanner, are there any nuclear power plants in the creatures path?" asked M. Tanner checked a few consoles.
"There is one directly in its path on a ridge overlooking the city. It was built less than six months ago," said Tanner. (This plant doesn't exist, at least not that I know of). M nodded finally putting the pieces together.
"Contact the prime minister and order him to have that plant shut down. That's why Godzilla's here. The creature must have somehow detected the new radiation from the plant and arrived here. If its shut down Godzilla may feel enticed to leave," said M. Tanner thought about it and picked up a phone. A few moments later the plant was sent into emergency shutdown. The workers hurried as quickly as they could to shut the reactor down so that Godzilla would stop his rampage. They worked for the next fifteen minutes as Godzilla continued coming closer. Godzilla was a mere five miles from the plant when it shut down. Godzilla roared in anger, as it could no longer sense the radiation source. The creature vented its frustration on the nearby area by toasting it with his radioactive breath. The whole place burst into flames as Godzilla continued to pour it on. Out of nowhere two missiles struck Godzilla in the back of his head. Godzilla turned around and noticed the small object on the ground firing more missiles at him. Godzilla swatted them away with his tail and watched the small object zoom away. Godzilla roared in anger and began chasing after the object. Down on the street Bond zoomed away as fast he could with the hope he could lure Godzilla back into water. The missiles had worked in gaining the creatures attention and Godzilla was pursuing the BMW. Bond was originally going to go slow so as not to loose the creature but when Godzilla burst up to 40 miles an hour Bond had to go as fast as he could to avoid the creature. Thankfully Godzilla had chosen not to use his atomic breath but was more content to chase the BMW. It appeared that M had realized to shut down the reactor since Godzilla was heading towards him and no longer had any purpose in London. Bond zoomed down several streets before finally arriving on the docks to the Atlantic Ocean. However Bond realized that Godzilla cut off his own means of escape and he didn't want to destroy Q's car so soon after receiving it. He couldn't hide the car because Godzilla knew he was in the general vicinity and would torch every building to either flush him out or destroy him. Bond realized that he had only one choice. Bond drove his car into the water and activated the submersible mode on the car. The car turned into makeshift sub and floated away. Bond hoped that Godzilla would torch the buildings while he safely got away. His hopes were dashed when a large current pushed his car forward and the sonar revealed a large mass moving towards him. Bond released a couple of depth charges and waited until Godzilla was on top of them before he detonated them. Godzilla roared in surprise but continued moving forward. Bond knew he had to come up with something fast because the car could only move at 17 knots while Godzilla could easily pull 40 knots. Bond weighed his options as Godzilla closed in on him. Bond's only hope was to outmaneuver the creature in close quarters. Bond pulled the car around and headed straight for Godzilla. At the last moment before he hit the creatures open maw Bond pulled up and raced along the creatures back beneath Godzilla's spines. As Bond raced along the creature's tail Godzilla thrust it upward slamming into the underside of the car and forcing the car, now disabled, to float to the surface. Bond rolled down the window and watched as Godzilla surfaced nearby. As Godzilla raced forward towards the car two beams came out of nowhere and struck the creature. Although they did no damage Godzilla quickly swam away from the beams. Bond looked up to see a helicopter firing the waves. A few moments later Godzilla disappeared underneath the waves. Bond glanced at the sonar, which was still operational, and saw Godzilla quickly vacate the area. Bond looked at the damaged car and realized Q wasn't going to be happy about it.
MI6: "Not good, not good at all. If not for Godzilla's interference I think the hijackers might have gotten away with the waste," said M sighing.
"I apologize. I should've captured the leader, but Godzilla interfered and well you know what happened to her," said Bond. He and Q were in M's office considering the implications of the attempted stealing of the waste in daylight in the middle of London.
"I guess they are desperate," said Q. Bond nodded in agreement.
"Yeah but even though they're desperate they're not making any mistakes. I'm lost on what to do next," said Bond. M picked up her phone receiver.
"Moneypenny, send her in," said M. Bond and Q looked confused as a tall woman with blond hair and blue eyes entered the room and sat down.
"This is Samantha Cummings, she works for G-Force. G-Force was responsible for sending Godzilla away after you lured the creature out into the water," said M. Samantha nodded.
"That's right. The device was essentially a subsonic receiver that emitted a noise that Godzilla finds annoying. Since the nuclear plant had been shut down and you'd driven it out into the ocean, Godzilla no longer felt it necessary to remain here," she said.
"Excuse me M, but what does G-Force have to do with any of this? I thought we were searching for missing nuclear waste, not monsters," said Bond.
"Godzilla instinctively walked towards the waste and absorbed its radioactive particles. Clearly if Godzilla can detect the waste then he might be able to find the missing waste," said M.
"So what're you suggesting? We follow Godzilla until he locates the waste. I don't think it's such a good idea to just wait for Godzilla to show up because by then whoever stole the waste could have used it. I don't like it," said Bond.
"That's why we're not going to follow Godzilla. We're going to follow our own leads and hope Godzilla follows his own. Nevertheless I'm assigning Ms. Cummings to accompany you on your mission. She's trained under the U.S. military since they are the primary backbone of G-Force. As for you 007, you and Ms. Cummings will travel to the Yucca Mountains and journey to the site where the largest portion of nuclear waste in the world is being held. That's where the third truck was going and I'm going to bet that's where the hijackers are going to hit next. Dismissed," said M. Bond, Cummings, and Q filed out of the room.
"You're not getting a new car because thankfully the old one returned in one piece. We've repaired it and it has already been sent to the States where it awaits your arrival. Also I took the liberty of improving the lead lined shield although a direct blast will destroy it. You got lucky because you weren't the primary center point of Godzilla's blast, that woman was. I know she tried to hijack the waste, but I feel sorry for her, imagine the pain she must have felt," said Q.
"I know the feeling. I lost a few colleagues to Godzilla and I'm sure the pain of a nuclear blast is like no other," said Samantha.
"Yes well let's try and locate the waste and not worry about Godzilla," said Bond. He quickened his pace and Samantha walked after him.
"What's the rush?" she asked.
"We must get to the Yucca Mountains before the hijackers do. If they're allowed to make off with the waste and use it then we're all in trouble. I don't know how well you understand international politics, but if any third world country got their hands on it then a war might very well result. The sooner we find the missing waste the better," said Bond. They hopped into a limo and it drove off to the airport. When they arrived they quickly went through the proper checkpoints and boarded their plane. A moment later it flew off towards the U.S.
"Why don't you like Godzilla?" asked Samantha. Bond looked at her from his dossier.
"I don't dislike Godzilla. I merely feel that his presence is a nuisance. I don't trust anyone that I can't kill and I don't like Godzilla," said Bond returning to his dossier, which showed both pictures and information on the waste as well as Godzilla. Bond briefly read the description.
"Rumored to once be a dinosaur of the Godzillasaurus family, this species somehow survived into the twentieth century when the current descendant was bombarded with radiation from a hydrogen bomb detonated in the Bikini Atoll. The creature became Godzilla, as we know him today, and proceeded to attack Tokyo. For a more detailed description read Steve Martin's book: Thunder of the Gods, which describes Godzilla's initial attack. Godzilla disappeared for a time after fighting over a dozen monsters attempting to control the earth and resurfaced in 1985 where it proceeded to demolish Tokyo yet again. Since then Godzilla has made random appearances and grappled with even more monsters," he said. Samantha nodded.
"They say there's no constant in the universe. Everything lives and everything dies. They cycle goes on and on. But they're wrong. There is a constant. Something that cannot die and lives in the heart of man, a creature that refuses to die, a creature that refuses to be conquered. You can't stop what can't be stopped. You can't kill what can't be killed. Bottom line: You can't stop Godzilla," said Samantha before going to sleep. Bond closed the dossier and put it away. Bond spent the rest of the flight thinking about what problems Godzilla would pose to his mission. The airplane soared over the ocean and on the water several miles behind the plane Godzilla followed.
