Alright, it is finally here! Part 2 of my Lost Projects series. This is based off two Godzilla Lost Projects, Godzilla vs. The Asuka Fortress and another unnamed project with a computer deploying an army of robots. I've also mixed some elements of Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster in as well, sense Red Bamboo plays a large role. Also note I was able to do the title in Japanese with the english subtitle, this was done to replicate how the titles of the films are, tell me what you think! Enjoy!
ゴジラ対明日香要塞
(Godzilla Vs. the Asuka Fortress)
Remembering the Fallen
Tokyo, 12 midday;
A reporter stood in front of a camera above a rebuilt Tokyo, it was Akikuko, having decided to become a reporter sense the events five years earlier. "Its been exactly five years sense the monsters Godzilla and Bagan did battle in the middle of Tokyo." she said. "Godzilla, after a long hard battle, defeated Bagan by blowing him in half and killing him instantly, after which the primordial dragon's body fell into the sea." she said, corresponding video from the scene being played. "Soon after, Godzilla was lured to the Beonase Atoll and defeated with my father, Doctor Imamura's Reiconium and also fell into the sea and believed to be dead." she said, once again video playing. "It should be noted, no corpse of ether kaiju was recovered but it is believed Bagan's were washed out to sea by the tide and Godzilla was believed to of been completely destroyed." she said. "Akikuko Muraki, reporting from Tokyo."
Kuroki was watching this report on the news with his boss, Commander Aso. "Yeah, that's what we told the public." said Aso. "While that is what we believe happened to Bagan, Godzilla might very well still be alive."
"That's why we built the Super-X2, just in case." said Kuroki, a screen opening beside them to show a boarder but more aerodynamic shaped, green Super X-like craft.
"Yes, the Super-X2 is far better suited to battle Godzilla than the Super-X, I'm particularly impressed by the Fire Mirror."
The Super-X2's front opened to show a diamond coated inside, this was synthetic diamond, designed to reflect and enhance Godzilla's heat ray back at him. "And don't forget the Asuka Fortress."
Aso nodded, the Asuka Fortress was a massive citadel with several giant mechas and remote controlled military craft. The most powerful defense was a massive humanoid robot at the very center of the Fortress named Asuka, thus the name for the entire structure. The Asuka Fortress was built so the heads of the government could go there and be protected in case Tokyo was attacked by a Kaiju. "Though of course that's only in case Godzilla attacks Tokyo, nothing more."
Kuroki nodded in agreement. "The question is, will Godzilla return?" he asked.
Aso sighed. "It's a matter of when, not if. And another question is, even if we did kill that Godzilla, its been proven there are more than one Godzilla."
"What about that ANEB project?" asked Kuroki, referring to Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria, a type of bacteria created from Godzilla cells that ate nuclear energy. It wasn't finished but it would likely disable Godzilla's nuclear attacks or with luck kill him.
"Still unfinished."
Inamura Labs 12:05 pm;
Inamura was checking several Reiconium Reactors that were now being used throughout Japan. They were still experimental and weren't used to supply large amounts of power to Japan yet. However one was powering the Asuka Fortress and it showed great promise for powering cities, which the Fortress basically was. He had also been watching his daughter's news cast. He was proud of her, she had become such a success. Muraki was now her husband and helped Inamura around the lab and had set up a Kaiju Early Detection Network to watch out for the Monster King and any others that were out there, because its primary purpose was to detect Godzilla, it had gotten the nickname G-Force. Inamura and Akikuko were both part of it, as was Kuroki. Muraki detected the monster, Inamura helped identify it, Akikuko put out the information, and Kuroki was in charge of combating it.
Muraki appeared on a monitor. "Professor, I've gotten reports of boats disappearing in the South Sea." he said. "No survivors reported but the ship's distress calls report some kind of red object raising from the sea."
"That's certainly not Godzilla but its probably some kind of Kaiju." said Inamura. "What, I can't say but its probably some sort of sea monster."
"That is likely."
"I wonder if it's a mutation or a natural creature."
"Both are possible, though the latter seems more likely given the area, right?"
"Muraki, there is nuclear power everywhere, you mustn't forget that. Mutations can happen anywhere. We are in the age of monsters you know."
Letchi Island, 6 pm;
This island wasn't on many maps and on those it was warned of great danger, though it was comparable to a tropic paradise. Due to its geographic position, Letchi Island's surrounding ocean was prone to unpredictable and violent storms and the rocky ocean floor with pillars of stone that rose high from the seafloor made approach by sea all but impossible, at least that's what everyone believed. The storms were caused by a weather generator and the rocky floors were home to something far more dangerous than just simple rock formations. In the center of the island was an underground structure, inside were men in military-like uniforms, each with a red triangle with a yellow image of a snake wrapped around a stock of bamboo. This was the hidden base of the terrorist group known only as the Red Bamboo, a part of the Japanese Government that had broken away years ago and was a known terrorist and supporter of terrorist cells. "General, we have a ship six miles out." said one of the grunts, working a sonar computer.
"Start up the storm." said the General, a black haired man Japanese man with an eye patch over his left eye.
A cruse ship was moving through the oceans, off course due to avoiding a typhoon to the north. They didn't expect anything was wrong with this course of action, as they didn't know the danger the nearby island had. Suddenly the stars were blocked out by dark clouds and lightning filled the night air. Wind and rain rivaling a typhoon surrounded them, sending huge waves breaking against their bow.
"Ship is trapped in the storm sir." said the grunt.
"Wake up our pet, its feeding time." replied the General.
A sonic signal was sent from a series of underwater cables, signaling to a huge creature sleeping under a coral reef. His shell was crimson, he was basically a giant Lobster but with one huge claw and the other limb being a thin, long, lance-like claw, Red Bamboo had dubbed this crimson abomination Ebirah. Ebirah had a simple life, he slept on the ocean floor, eating fish and maybe the occasional whale until Red Bamboo needed a water craft destroyed or enemies killed, then Ebirah got to eat a very special treat, human flesh. Ebirah's yellow eyes snapped open on their stocks and looked towards the surface. He rose from his hiding place, his massive tail propelling him through the water, towards the surface. In the storm he snuck up on his prey. He grasped the ship's underside with his massive pincer for leverage, rupturing several areas before raising his spear like claw high into the air, serving as the last sight for the lucky passengers that are killed when his claw smashed down on the ship, breaking it in two, the unlucky ones would be mercilessly stocked and eaten by the crimson sea monster…
Alright, a lot of information, including the defenses prepared to battle Godzilla. We'll see more of those in other chapters. See you next time!
