So, I plan on this being th final instalment of Godzilla Apocalypse. I really hope you enjoy it! I hope I can keep updating this regularly, my life just keeps getting buiser and busier... and don't be afraid to review! I don't bite... :3
Night air rushed by over the semi-barren landscape as a large red figure soared high above the ground. Sharp, green eyes pierced the darkness as the winged predator searched for its prey. Lurching ahead at sonic speeds, the flying Rodan had no idea that on this particular night, itself would be the hunted.
The kaiju's senses sharpened as another presence intruded its way into the howling wind, although no sounds alerted Rodan that it was another daikaiju. As Rodan casually turned its head to investigate, something cold and sharp struck his back, slicing and splitting skin with razor hot pain.
Rodan cried out in agony as warm blood splashed over his wings. The sound of the same object sliced through the air, but he swiftly rolled to the side. Luckily, no important muscles or tendons were cut from the first blow. A dark blur that was unrecognizable to Rodan rushed him from the side. The heavier kaiju slamming into him, making Rodan lose control of his flight. The air whipped around his scales as Rodan spiraled to the ground. Panicking, Rodan tried to move his wings but pain struck him like a lightning bolt, racing up and down his now broken limb.
Rodan grimaced as he looked at the eminent ground, trying to pull up with his good wing. For a split second, Rodan felt a warm current beneath him, and a hope filled his body. As he tried to lift his body, he made a bone-jarring slam into the rough terrain. He roared in shock as numbness filled multiple areas of his body and air was forced out of his lungs. In his awkward tilt, he rolled painfully across the ground, stirring up large clouds of earth in the traumatizing process.
Dust flew from the large kaiju's as he tumbled and skidded for nearly a kilometer. Rodan finally came to a painful stop; every bit of his body ached and protested with burning pain every time the kaiju tried to move. Rodan tried to search the sky for his attacker, but all that greeted his sight was the pitch-black sky and blurry patches of light he began seeing after the fall. An ominous thud on the ground alerted Rodan to the presence of his attacker. Before Rodan could get a good look at it, a shockwave of bright energy surged toward him.
"Gah!" I uttered a strangled cry as my body shot up off the couch. My eyes darted around the small room, trying to pick up anything abnormal in the dim light, but all was quiet in my small 'apartment.' Slowly, I lowered my body back down, staring at the ceiling while taking deep breaths.
The monitor (it didn't really deserve to be called a TV as it was way more advanced and less homely) was still on, illuminating the room with a soft blue light. I must have fallen asleep out in the main room while using it. Standing up, I walked over to the monitor and turned it off after checking the time; 4:53 AM. I sighed. There was no use trying to go back to sleep now.
As I made my way to the kitchen in order to find something to eat, a loud noise made me jump. I spun around at full speed, butter knife already positioned in my hand. I looked my fearsome enemy right in its glowing eyes to see it was… the phone. I breathed a sigh of exasperation and let the knife fall from my hands onto the counter. I had been jumping way too much lately. I walked back into the main room and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" I asked, my voice riddled with grogginess.
"Akira, sir?" a familiar voice – Hayato – asked on the other line.
"Don't call me that" I said firmly. Being promoted to the head of Tokyo's kaiju defense team wasn't a pleasant topic to think about, but I was reminded of the issue every day. The only reason I had achieved that goal was because the real leader and another member whom I shall not name had disappeared, more than likely, kidnapped. I pushed those terrible thoughts out of my mind…for now. "What is it?" I asked.
"I'm sorry for the early call, but I have to inform you of something that happened less than two hours ago."
"Well, get on with it, then," I said, early – morning patience wearing thin.
"Sorry, si – Akira – oh, never mind. Anyway, the mining operation about 300 meters away from here found - "
"What was it?" I asked hastily. "Was it the Seatopians? Did they find Goro or Kazuko?"
"No Akira, I told you the base of the Seatopians is abandoned. There's no sign of them. The mining operation will revisit it next month. Hayato paused, and I could picture him biting his tongue in case something he said upset me. When I didn't say anything, he continued. "The miners came across a large underground cavern about 10 meters high and 20 meters wide. And in that cavern, was a vast cluster of eggs."
"Eggs?" I asked, making sure I heard him correctly.
"Yes." Hayato said. "The size of a full-grown man. As for the council, their only answer is kaiju, so we are in charge of investigating this.
Ah, the good old Council. There was nothing really bad about them, I guess. But I mean, who doesn't question authority at one point or another? They were a new group of 10 to 20 wealthy mean and women who ran this hell hole. The situation could have been worse, but what they say is law and some of their decisions aren't exactly beneficial for all. But if your one of the few people who can take down a small daikaiju with a gun, they have no real quarrel with you.
"Alright, then" I said. "See you in about an hour, Hayato."
I placed the phone back on its stand, but I miscalculated and it fell to the ground. I cursed and jumped back, and after that cursed even more for being so startled. Those tragic events had happened about half a year ago, but I was afraid I would never get my mental stability back for a long time.
