Title: Beasts and Shadows
Category: Godzilla / Lost
Rating: T for course language, violence, and dark themes
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, Godzilla and the cast of Lost all belong to their respective owners.
Author's Note: I haven't written fan fiction for the Big Guy in a very long time. What got me started was all the videos on YouTube, the fact that I love Lost, and too many have made Godzilla fight the damn Cloverfield monster already. For those who haven't seen Lost, just keep in mind that there will be spoilers of the show, there will be flashbacks, and there will be daddy issues!
He opened his eyes after long hours of sleep. Still lying down, he scanned his surroundings. There was the ocean at one side of him, dense jungle on the other side, a sandy beach ahead of him, and the morning sun beaming down on him, warming up his hide.
Stretching his forearms in front of him, fingers digging into the hot sand, he forced himself to stand at full height. He stretched his neck and shook the stillness out his shoulders. After the routine of getting up, he had a better look around him.
Where was he? What was this place? The beach, view of the open ocean, jungle, and mountains beyond the green foliage. It reminded him of the island he lived on while he was a youngster, only it had a different smell, and his sixth sense told him it was something else.
How did he get to this strange place? All what he could remember before falling unconscious was that he was swimming as fast as possible through the water, driven by an urge to seek solitude and relying only on his instinct. He must have waded his way onto land when exhaustion took over and immediately fell asleep.
Strange. It all seem so strange to him, yet he felt some new sensations from this strange place fill him up. He felt curious, amazed, and somehow relieved. Perhaps he had found a place of solitude after all.
He, with the exception of any wild life, was the only one on this island. An unknown island, where he can have space and isolation from the conflict caused by the difference between him and mankind.
Benjamin Linus was in the medical bay of the research facility that once belonged to the DHARMA Initiative, watching his chief surgeon Ethan cover the deceased on the operation table with the white sheet.
Even though Ben appeared to be an average middle-aged man, he had that sinister stare, a mind of cunning thoughts, and a manipulative hold on people. Ben was in charge of the community that controlled the island and he made sure that it all remained that way.
"There was nothing else that could be done for her," said Ethan with a sigh. "She just gave up."
"She wanted to have a child," said Ben coldly, "she knew the risk she was taking in getting pregnant."
Ethan removed his latex gloves that were covered in blood. Lately, the island community were facing a difficulty. Women who were pregnant would become terribly ill and die in the third month of maternity, and with them their unborn children. With all the women dying, it had become a harsh task for Ethan to attempt reviving them. After performing surgery and using other methods of revival, the women eventually died. The surgeon shook his head regretfully.
"There has to be a solution to prevent this," he said.
"I've got men working on it, searching countries around the globe to find someone or something that can solve this problem." When the problem started taking place some years earlier, Ben had sent some of most trusted men to other countries to find information that may prove to be a valuable solution.
"What makes you think that a solution can be found in other countries?"
"Since it's only on the island that the mothers are dying, the best chance is to find information off the island that could help." Ben's bug-eyed stare directed at the body under the sheet. "Once we find the solution, no more deaths among the women."
He was feeling pain all over his body. The large, winged creature had dropped him from a great height. For some reason, the fall had injured him badly and he could not summon the strength to stand up.
He looked up at his father, who stood over him with throat rumbles of concern. His father had glowing patches emitting heat all over his dark body, which looked very unusual. To help him, his father emitted some heat energy.
The heat energy entered his body, but it wasn't enough. He tried to use the energy to recover and stand up, but he still had no strength. Then, everything went dark, his surroundings and his father's wail of despair fading out.
He had been walking along the beach, inhaling the salty air and listening to the wind and ocean waves. This place was new to him, it fascinated him. So far, the scenery of the beach was similar to the beaches of the island he lived on years before it was destroyed in an explosion.
Even though he was full grown, he was still young for one of his kind. Since he was the last of his kind, he had to find his own way in the world. Human kind would never understand him, and he had to seek a place where humans could not affect him with their prejudice.
He already explored the beach, and there was the rest of the island to see. There was the jungle, and the mountains beyond it. Perhaps he should explore them.
Thinking over his decision, he decided to turn towards in land. As he stepped into the foliage, small trees snapped liked twigs while the larger ones were forced aside by his massive size as he made his way to the center of the island.
End Note: I hope this is a good start. This is supposed to take place before the events of the show and the G2K film series or after Godzilla vs. Destroyah. I never saw the entire Heisei series, I only saw clips from them on YouTube, I probably would rent the films if I had the bloody time though.
