Godzilla: Path of the King, Pt. 1: Redemption

Disclaimer: I do not own Godzilla or any things related to him; however, I do own some original characters that will appear later.

By the way, the Godzilla being used is the one from Godzilla: 2000.

Chapter 1: Awakening

He was once a menace.

He was once a monster.

He was once a threat.

And he was once a king.

But now Godzilla was the last thing on anyone's mind. Ever since the Godzilla that fought Destroyah had its meltdown, and Godzilla Jr. disappeared, the other monsters thought that there was no more king, and they all went into a deep hibernation. In the mean time, Tokyo went into a celebration. No more monsters. No more destruction.

No more Godzilla.

However, Godzilla Jr. was not dead. He was just mourning over the loss of his dad, and was taking a long time to do it.

It had almost been two weeks since Godzilla Sr. had been destroyed in his fiery explosion, and Godzilla Jr. was sleeping on the ocean floor in Tokyo Bay, when he once again heard the terrible noises of the humans' celebration.

He became frustrated. He hated their noises.

His frustration turned to anger when he realized the terrible truth: they were celebrating his father's death.

That was when he snapped.

He slowly rose up from the ocean depths, and immediately his ears were filled with the sounds of screams and emergency sirens.

Now that's more like it he thought to himself.

He picked a parked car and threw it at a nearby building. Then, he picked up a docked boat and threw it at a building closer to the heart of Tokyo.

He moved on to trample buildings, moving closer to the main stream of civilians in the city.

He let out a roar, and then completely crushed one of the buildings with his foot.

His rampage would have continued, if not for the sudden combination of a small stinging and a small burning in his thigh.

Godzilla turned to his left to see some masers and a squad of jet fighters rushing towards him. He swung his arm in the air and easily took out two of the jets. He then turned his attention to the maser. He swung his tail and flipped a building over onto the first line of masers, which was instantly destroyed in an explosion.

The remaining masers started retreating and firing at the same time. Godzilla ran and kicked the building he had previously knocked down into the remaining masers, destroying them. He was then reminded of the jets when they came back and fired their missiles at him. He brought his tail up and destroyed another plane. Godzilla let out a small beam and burned the remaining jet planes. He noticed that his beam was red and not the usual blue, but he had no time to ponder over it, for he had work to do.

He began charging his strongest atomic ray and let it loose on Tokyo, destroying a number of buildings. He repeated this several times, making sure that most of the building in his range were destroyed, and then submerged back into the ocean.

The savage destruction of Tokyo was not enough for him. His natural instincts told him that the two most populated cities were to the immediate north and south. The one to the north was easier to get to but less populated then the one to the south, but the one to the south was more heavily populated. He chose to head south.

He was back. He was ready. And he needed to prove to the world that he was still king, even without monsters to rule.

He was Godzilla.

Well, there you have it! First chapter of the first story done. Just for reference, the place to the north was some village in Siberia and the place to the south is some large city in Australia. Next, we have Godzilla taking on a fleet of Australian submarines and possibly going into Australian soil, if not next chapter then the one after that. Also, tell me if it is too short because that's one of my main concerns.
