Alright, as you read in the summery, this is Showa Era and Minya is the main character but just because of that don't expect this to be a normal Showa Era thing, or childish. You see its quite obvious that Minya is a baby and baby's all have to grow up some time. My take is, as you know if you've seen Son of Godzilla, Kamacuras hatched Minya prematurely, which makes me think he has birth defects, explaining his vastly diffrent appearence to Godzilla and his cuteness being simply because he's an infant, you have to admit it, most animal young ones are cute, even Minya's Verses series counterpart Junior was cute as a baby and he grew up to look just like his father. This story is about Minya going through a mutant growth spurt, which I'll admit is probably faster than it would be in real life due to him being a kaiju. Enjoy!
Legacy of the Monster King
Monster Island, midday, 2008;
A solemn silence has fallen over the island. This was once the dominion of Godzilla, the mighty King of the Monsters. He'd saved the world a number of times, from alien races like the ones from the Nebula Space Hunter M, the Third Planet of the Black Hole, Planet X, and Kilaak, as well as space monsters such as Gigan and King Ghidorah, and earth born threats such as the Red Bamboo and Hedorah. However all theses wars had taken their toll and the powerful giant, despite having great regeneration and durability, his body still could only handle so much, no creature was completely immortal. Godzilla's time had finally run out and he'd died the night before, his subjects and friends had taken it hard, his son had taken it the hardest. The kaiju had buried the Monster King and paid their respects, humans had also came. Those humans that had aided him all came and left, the android Jet Jaguar, who had aided Godzilla in defeating Gigan and Megalon, remained on the island despite his master's leaving, he was sentient and thus could feel emotion and mourned the giant. King Seasar and even Kong had come to the island from their homes to pay respects to him, Seasar for their friendship, Kong for him being a worthy rival. Anguirus and Rodan, Godzilla best friends still stood at his grave, unable to take back to their homes. "I haven't felt this low sense what happened to my mate on Mt. Aso." Rodan screeched to Anguirus.
"I can't believe it happened." bellowed Anguirus. "Ghidorah, Gigan, and even Mechagodzilla could kill him…I know he was getting old, their was no doubt in that, I just thought he'd last a longer." he roared, feeling his throat with his claws, remembering how he and Godzilla had met, destroyed Osaka and Anguirus had nearly been killed but Godzilla had earned his respect and they'd become good friends.
"I remember fighting with him and Mothra the first time Ghidorah came to earth." screeched Rodan. "And when he lead us against Ghidorah when we finally killed that three head freak." he squawked. That was a battle all those who'd been it remembered, the final defeat of the space demon, the King of Terror, King Ghidorah, it was a victory they all remembered and cherished, knowing that beast would never again come to ravage the earth.
"That was quite a battle." growled Anguirus, giving another look at the grave. "Even Minya helped, I never thought I'd see the day Minya would take a hand in fighting something that strong, no offense Minya…wait, where's Minya?" he roared, noticing the young 'prince' was gone.
Rodan looked around, searching for the young monster. "Where is he? Doesn't he know its not safe to go out into the island alone at his age? Without Godzilla here, some monsters with a grudge might get the idea to attack him!" he squawked, concerned for the young monster's safety, Minya being too young to really defend himself against more powerful monsters on the island. He and Anguirus quickly headed out to find the young monster.
Elsewhere on the island, Gabara was also searching for Minya. He, as a kid had believed in a dream about the Island, enjoyed bullying the young Kaiju and now that Godzilla was gone, he couldn't protect Minya from the bully. The ogre like monster followed the path he'd seen his victim go down, he remembered Minya seemed to be in a large amount of discomfort, not just emotional but physical for some reason, Gabara would be glad to make it worse. He finally walked into a clearing, he saw Minya's tail sticking out of a waterfall cave. He walked over and grabbed Minya's tail, electrifying it. Instead of the cries of pain he was expecting however, he got a growl of anger then a punch in the face that sent him reeling. "What the heck?" he snarled. Then his anger replaced with fear as Minya came out. Minya had changed. His skin was now darker and some of his old skin was hanging off his body , his once cute face was now more saurian-like, though his snout was still shorter than normal but not pudgy as before but slender and more like his father. His eyes had orange specks in them, appearing to be a corona around his pupils. His spines were now more developed but not full sized or protruding from his skin as his father's did, he'd also lost his pudgy appearance, his muscles having developed further. The cute Minya wasn't apparent except for his skin color and some of his face.
Minya wasn't sure what was going on, just for the first time in his life he felt anger towards his bully instead of fear or intimidation. Minya snarled, his lip curling to show newly developed razor edged teeth and getting a whimper of fear out of the ogre. He tore off the remaining bits of old skin, he'd shed when he'd became what he now was. He swung his now longer tail around and smacked his former tormentor in the head, knocking him off his feet. Before Gabara could rise, Minya had him by the horn and punched him in the face repeatedly before kicking him and leaving the monster on his back. Minya wasn't fully taught in combat but understood enough to beat Gabara down. He picked his opponent up and bit him on the shoulder, drawing a painful roar from the ogre. He then clinched Gabara's horn once more and with a large amount of effort, as his muscles were new, tore the horn off, causing Gabara to roar in agony as blood tricked from his head, some sparks being given off as well. Minya's dorsal spines glowed blue and he fired a flamethrower-like blast from his mouth into Gabara's face, unable to give a full atomic ray but managing more than his normal smoke rings. Gabara clutched his burnt face, roaring in agony. "You beat me!…I can't believe you beat me!" the ogre cackled, unable to believe the creature he'd bullied for years was now more powerful than he was.
Minya reared his head back and let out a roar, it wasn't of the same pitch as his father's was but was closer than before.
Yes, I realize I killed off the Showa Godzilla but it worked well for the story. I could've made a more exciting death for him but I wanted to do a short story to get back into my fanfiction easier and making an exciting battle death didn't really fit and I didn't feel like coming up with something that could kill Godzilla. Anyway see you later!
