The chronicles of Godzilla
Chapter 1: The beginning
The world 65 million years ago was very different from the world we know today, most of the land masses were lush and green and the air was warm with a high level of humidity. There are a vast variety of planets and animals that live in this world. Some of the animals in this world looked beyond human imagination, the dinosaurs. In this ancient world they're many species of dinosaurs living besides each other. But even in this paradise like world there is turmoil, massive climate changes constantly go on throughout the land. The land masses shaft constantly makes sea levels fall and rise and rising up huge mountains that spew vast amounts of volcanic ash and smoke in the sky and rain down on the surrounding land. The volcanic mountains also create barren lands of ash where toxic fumes escape from the earth where no creatures could survive. The lush forests are slowly shrinking by the ever raising sea levels and the mountains the spread the land with ash, but even in this seemly hospitable land, new life begins.
At the edge where a lush forest and huge plain meet, two Godzillasaurus dinosaurs are watching over a nest of eggs. The female dinosaur laid half a dozens eggs 20 days ago and now she knows it is about the time they are ready to hatch. The female dinosaur along with its mate stood beside the nest waiting to welcome in their new life to the world. Soon one of the eggs wobbles around and begins to crack, the female dinosaur comes in closer with her snout to help the little life that was inside break free. Soon the egg shell beaks away and a tiny head pops out, the tiny dinosaurs comes out with his eyes open and the first the little dinosaurs sees is it's mother's huge maw and face, but the little dinosaur knows it is his mother, so he does not fear her. As the tiny dinosaur continues to pull out the eggshell, his mother very gently nuzzles him with her snot and helps break away the rest of the eggshell. Soon enough the rest of the eggs fellow, the female and her mate continue to help all their young break out of their shells. Soon all the young are out of their shells, crawled out the nest and learning to take their first steps to walk. When the female dinosaurs help the last of the young to stand, she notices that one egg as not hatched yet. She lowers herself down and nudges it with her nose, but still the egg reminds motionless. Her mate soon sees this and comes over to her and nuzzles her with his snot and then looks at the egg.
The male dinosaur looks more closely at the egg and then said, "sorry dear, but you have to let it go, it's a dud."
The female dinosaur expression turns to sadness and sorrow. Even thought they had plenty of other young to take care of, the lose of this one was hard on her, every life of their young mattered to them, but some things they just could not prevent from happening.
"Very well." the female dinosaurs said with sorrow in her voice.
Then just when the male dinosaur was about to grab the egg with his jaws and dispose of it, the egg start to wobble and crack. The male dinosaur stops and is taken aback by what he is seeing, he thought of sure the egg was not going to hatch. The female dinosaur soon sees this and rushes in with her nose to help this last one break free. Eventually the seemingly dead tiny dinosaur breaks his head free from the eggshell and gives out a tiny squeak to its mother. The little dinosaur seems to have some trouble breaking the rest out of the way of the egg, so the mother comes in and carefully helps remove the rest of the shell. Soon the tiny one completely breaks free of the egg and his mother nudges him out the nest to take his first steps and join his siblings. The male dinosaurs was a little puzzled why this one still managed to hatch despite it being much later then the others, but it was happy every one of their young managed to survive anyway. The female gathered all the young close to her and soon afterwards, her and her mate with their young walked slowly away from the nest, ready to begin the next stage of their new family.
Several mouths have passed since the eggs hatched, the once helpless hatchlings have become boisterous young juveniles, surprisingly all the young have made this far, normally with dinosaur families half the young have died by now due to predators or just not enough food to go around for all of them, but the hunting was good were the dinosaur family lived and since the male choose the stay with his mate, the female would watch over the young while the male went off hunting. While looking after the young, decisions had to be made in insure their future, there came one that was the hardest of all and one the one the female liked the least, while watching the young, her and her mate had to pick out which was the weakest of the litter of young and once the weakest one was found, they had to destroy it. They had no choice, it was the way of their species, they parents had to kill off the weakest one in order insure the survival of the next generation, it is mostly how their species had managed to survive for so long. The female dreaded it the most much because; being a mother, every life mattered to her and just to kill some on her offspring because they were weak seemed cruel. After her and her mate watched the young after several weeks they soon found the weakest one in the litter and it was the one the female feared it would be, it was the youngling that hatched late. It was slower then the others, he walked and ran the slowest and always took up the rear in the group. At feeding time, he was always pushed out by his stronger siblings and got the less better parts of the meat. His hunting training was no better; his always attacked the prey to early or too late and often spoiled the family's hunts. If this continued, he would slow down the family and never learn to survive in the world on his own. Soon the day came when her and her mate had to make the final decision, every time her mate looked at her for the final word, she looked away from him as if to ignore it, but the male knew it could not be ignored, it had to be done, one way or another.
Soon that faithful day was drawing to a close, it was in the evening hours and the dinosaur family was settling down for the night, and still the decision had not been made. Once the female got all the young to settle down and go to sleep, she settled down herself when she saw her mate still standing up and looking out on the horizon. The female got back up and walked over to her mate, once she got to him, she nuzzled him with her snot to comfort him, but the male's expression did not change, it was full of sorrow, but stern.
Finally he looked at his mate and said, "you know what as to be done."
Then the female dinosaur said "I know, but….please… can't we give him just a little more time."
"No, he is clearly the weakest of the young. He only slow the family down.," said her mate.
"But if we give him a little more time, he might change for the better." said the female.
"I doubt he will, no matter how much time we give him, he will not change." said the male.
"But we can least try." she said
"You know the longer will prolong this. The harder it will be to let him go." said the male.
"I know, but we should at least give him fighting chance." said the female.
Then the male dinosaur looked deeply in his mate's eyes and clearly saw she was desperate to keep him alive and clearly was not willing to let him go, and there no way to argue it otherwise.
The male sighed deeply and then said, " very well, we will give him a few more days, but if he does not show improvement in that time, we have to do it."
The female dinosaur smiled and nuzzles her mate with her snout "thank you, thank you very much."
Then the female Godzillasaurus went back to the spot where all the young were sleeping and settled back down herself and fell asleep. But the male Godzillasaurus remain standing looking out into the horizon as night fell. As he was standing, he thought to himself. "What have I done?"
The next few days were going to be tense for the Godzillaraurus parents and the young one that was slow; he had to prove himself he was worth keeping alive. The next day the female dinosaur and her mate decided it was best to do another training hunt. They decided to pick out a heard of duckbill dinosaurs gazing on a open plain, the herd was strong in numbers, the dinosaurs family had come up with a strategy to separate the weakest one out of the herd. The female dinosaur with her offspring positioned themselves along the left side of the herd, while the male positioned himself on the right side of the herd, lying in wait for the final strike. Once the male got into position, the female and young carefully sneaked up closer to the herd of duckbill dinosaurs though the forest around them. Most of the young had learned to be patient and strike at just the right moment, but the slower one of the young was impatient and was charged too soon. This time, the female told his son to wait and only charge when she told him too, he listened to her.
Once the female decided they were close enough, she sounded the call and only her and the slow young one charged out first. Immediately the herd ran in the direction they wanted them to go, to the path of the male. A few minutes later the rest of the young charged out and drove the herd farther to the west. The young eventually spited the herd into two groups and separated the weakest one form the herd. The female stopped chasing the herd; it was the young's duty now to finish the hunt. The slow one of the group kept on running after the herd and eventually caught up with the rest of the young. Soon he lost attention to what it was doing; he was so full of adrenaline from running that he was unaware where he was running too. Soon the duckbill dinosaurs got in the path on the male and he charged right out after it, the male was so close to his prey there was little chance of it escaping. He was just about to grab the duckbill dinosaurs with his mighty jaws when all of a sudden something hit him in the left leg that eventually made him stubble and fall and the duckbill dinosaur escaped. Thankfully he did not suffer a bad fall and immediately got back up to see what the heck had hit him in the leg. When he turned around he saw it was no other then the slow youngling of the group. The youngling was sitting down and rubbing his head as if it had hit something hard. The male walked closer to him and looked down on his son with scorn and anger. The young one soon looked up at his father and he could see in his father's eyes that he was furious with him. The young one knew he done something wrong and was going to pay of it, he had ruined another hunt for them. The male was at his limit of tolerance for his slow son.
"What the heck were you doing?! You should watch were you are going!" the male said with anger in his voice.
"I'm…I'm sorry." said the young one in a wimpy voice almost afraid to speak.
"Sorry does not bring the prey back, does it?" said the father.
"But it was a mistake…." said his son again in a weak voice
"There is no room for mistakes in the real world." said the father again.
Then the young one down casted his head full of sadness and regent and shameful to be the son of a father that did not love him. Soon the female and rest of the young caught up with them. They were disappointed to see no food, one slow leaner of a hatchling and one angry father.
"What happened?" the female asked.
"You so called gifted son just coast us the hunt!" the male shouted to his mate.
"He rammed me in the left leg which made me fall and lose the prey!" said the male again.
"I'm sure he didn't mean too." said the female.
"Enough! He has been nothing but trouble since the day he hatched! We should of gotten rid of him while we had the chance!"
The young one's head perked back up at those words, what did he mean by "gotten rid of him"?
"Please dear, not in front of him." said the female.
"I'm going to say it here and now because it is the truth!" said the male.
The Godzillasaurus parents continued to argue and the young one was full of sadness over them fighting over him. Suddenly something in the sky caught the young one's eye that made him completely forget about his parents, a bright white light was streaking across the sky and heading down towards the earth.
"Whoa! What is that?" said the young while one pointing one claw towards the sky.
The parents stopped arguing and looked up at the sky as well and so did the rest of the young. Soon they all forgot about the hunt and were completely transfixed on what was going on in the sky. Soon more bright white lights were streaking across the sky towards the earth and then vanishing beyond the horizon and soon the sky was filled with hundreds of these bright lights.
"Let's go see if can get a better look!" said the young one and ran off into the forest.
"Wait!" said the male, but it was too late, the young one was already dashing away thought the forest. The male immediately ran after him, fearing he would get lost or worse. The female and the rest of the young soon followed him in order to stay together.
The young Godzillasaurus continued to run though the forest, dodging the tress with ease. The male tried desperately to catch up with, but his size and the trees in his way prevented him from doing so. Suddenly the young one came to abrupt stop and so did the male to prevent from crashing into him. The male soon found out why his son came to a sudden stop, the forest and land itself came to a sudden end to a cliff and then to the open sea, the cliff was hundreds of feet high. The land must have continued on at one point, but because on the constant shift in the landmasses, it must caused the land to split and eventually the rest of the land drifted away. The young one soon turned his attention back to the sky and soon so did his father. Soon the rest of the family caught up with them and they too looked back up at the sky along the edge of the cliff. They could get a much clear view of what was going on the sky from where they were standing. Hundreds of the bright lights continued to streak across the sky towards the earth.
While the dinosaur family was watched this bizarre scene go by, the male dinosaurs started to get this strange feeling, as if something very bad was about to happen. He saw some birds in the sky; they seemed to fly in the opposition direction of the bright lights. He smelled the air; it didn't smell right, something was definitely wrong. Suddenly all the bright lights vanished; only to make way from the biggest ball of light there was. What the dinosaur family saw next both shocked and astonished them. A giant ball of fire and smoke dropped out of the sky and was heading towards the sea; it was surely going crash into the sea. Once it did crash into the sea, the impact was so great it created a flash of bright light that temporary blinded the dinosaur family. Once there vision was restored, what they saw next dumbstruck them, a gigantic column of fire and smoke rose out of the sea. They had no idea what they were really seeing or what was about to happen. Suddenly they started to see something rise out of the column of smoke and fire, it was stranger the seeing the ball of fire drop out the sky, it was huge creature is some kind, two huge golden bat-like wings and three reptile looking heads started to emerged out of the column of smoke and fire, an unearthly roar came from the creature, even louder than the impact of the ball of fire.
Soon they felt a tremor beneath their feet that shook that earth violently and a few seconds later another tremor came that was more violent then the last. The dinosaur family soon recognized whatever that was out in the sea was a threat and they had to run away. "Run! Run!" the male shouted to rest of his family and run they did. Soon the large golden creature completely rose out of the column of smoke and fly down towards the earth, meanwhile the column of smoke and fire grew wider until it became a huge wall of pure destruction, smaller balls of fire became to arch out of the column of fire and smoke and spread out wide though the sky and rained own in the earth below. The young Godzillasaurus continue to run though the forest despite the chaos around him, huge balls of fire smashed into the ground around him and other species of dinosaurs were running in the same direction he was and he had lost sight of his parents and his siblings. The young one was scared and full of panic, he didn't know where to run to, and he just kept running. Suddenly something picked him up off the ground, he turned to see who it was, and it was his mother. His mother held him carefully, but firmly in her jaws to carry away to safety. Suddenly a fireball crashed into the ground just a few feet away from the female, the impact made her fall and young one slipped out of her jaws and fell to the ground too. The young one immediately got back up, but his mother did not, she tried the best she could, but she just could not, she was too badly hurt.
"Keep going! Run and never look back!" the female shouted to her son, but he just stood there, too full of fear to go on. He wanted to help his mother, but he didn't know how.
All of a sudden a burning tree that caught on fire by the fireballs crashed on top of her, she only had the chance to give out one short cry of pain before the flames consumed her.
"Mother!" the young one cried to her, but it was too late, she was already gone.
A split second later he was picked up off the ground again, this time it was his father, he carried him away firmly in his jaws. The male dinosaur saw what had happened to his mate, he was full of great sadness to see her consumed by the fire, but there was nothing he could do about it now. The life of his only remaining son is all that mattered to him now. He continued to run through the burning forest, dodging fallen burning trees along his way and the wall of fire and smoke was getting ever closer. The male soon saw a lake in front of him and ran for it, then once he got the lake he dived in, he thought this was the only way they could escape the towering inferior coming towards them was to dive into the water. Just seconds after the male had dived in the water the wall of smoke and fire passed over then. The wave turned up the water rapidly and tossed the father and his son around for a bit, but they remained untouched for smoke and fire above them. The male waited until the wall of smoke and fire had passed before he emerged back out of the water, he still held his son firmly in his jaws. Finally the wall of fire and smoke passed and he rose out of the water. Once he emerged though the surface, he immediately dropped his son and gasped for air. His son tried his best to stay afloat in the water. Once the father got air back to his lungs, he grabbed his son again and he swam back to the shore. Once he got back one land, he put his son back down. They both looked out to what happened to their land, and what they saw shocked them beyond belief.
All the land was burned to ashes, all the trees had fallen and reduced to burning sinters, all the plants were gone, the ground was left bare and much of the land was still burning. Hundreds of dinosaurs and other creatures' lied motionless on the ground, they were all dead. And standing in the middle of it all was the enormous golden creature they saw rise out the column of smoke and fire before. It was a lot bigger than anything they had seen before; he could easy tower over the tallest trees. It's body was very odd looking, it stood on four legs, it had three long necks that had flowing hair on the backs of them and three reptile like heads with sinister looking red eyes and with hair like a mane around them, it had two long tails and two massive bat-like wings that spouted from its back and its entire body was covered in shiny golden scales. Both the father and the son could not completely comprehend what they were seeing. The giant creature reared up one of his heads and let loose an unearthly roar again, it seemed to be laughing at the ruined land the lay around him. Who was this large creature? Why was he here? Was he the cause of all this? The male dinosaur thought back the ball of fire and the column of smoke and fire, the creature must be the cause of it, he saw the creature rise out of the column himself. This creature was the cause of why his land now lay in ruin, why his mate and family had died. He felt anger towards the creature, he wanted to charge right at him, but at the same time he was very fearful of this creature, he knew this new being was a lot stronger than him and could easily kill him. He decided it was best to run away and escape while they had the chance. The male dinosaur nudged his son to move, his son was too fearful of the new creature to move, but his father pushed him on, so he finally moved on. They started to walk away quietly trying not to draw the creature's attention, but it was no use, suddenly one the creature's heads turned towards them, he saw them walking away. Both the male and young one froze when the creature stared at them, they became too afraid to move, those bright red eyes seemed to stare into their soul. As it stared at them, an evil smile spread across his face. Then the large creature reared up on his back legs and then slammed his front legs down on the earth again, the impact was so great it created huge cracks in the earth, one of cracks raced towards the father and son, they tried to run away from it, but the crack in the earth caught them and they both flew through, once they fell though the crack, chunks of earth and debris were throw into the huge crack, submerging their world into darkness.

"Are we still alive?" said the young one.
"I'm not sure, I think so." said his father.
Everything was completely dark; they could not see anything. It seemed they had been throw in to the abyss of blackness itself. The young one could not see his father anywhere, but he could hear him. He slowly got up, even though he could not see the ground under his feet and he could feel he was standing on something solid. He walked around a bit to find some kind of sign of life or his father. Suddenly he bumped into something solid, he reached out with his clawed hand to felt what it was, it was his father, and he could felt the edge of his snout with his claws.
"Thank god I found you, I thought had lost you too." said the father said while touching his son's head with his claws.
"What happened? Why is everything so dark? Where is mother and my brothers and sisters?" said the young one.
"I don't know." said his father.
"What was that? That huge creature with wings?" said the young one.
"I don't know that either." said his father.
His thoughts returned to the strange golden creature. He felt hate towards that creature for what he had done. "What kind of creature could kill hundreds in a single blow? What had it done this? What did they do to deserve this?" the male thought to himself, he knew he would not find the answers to these questions. His mind soon returned back to his son.
"Let's just find a way out of here." said his father.
"Okay" said his son.
They continued to walk around in the blackness staying close together hoping for a way out. The father tried to feel around for anything else that might be around them, finally he felt something with his clawed hands, and it felt like rock, his son felt the rock too. He continued to feel with his claws along the rocky surface, once he continued the feel the rock wall of a while soon he realized they were in a cave, but what kind of cave was this? A cave that as no light in it. Soon he realized no light in a cave meant no way in or out, they were trapped. He was now afraid at the thought they might never get out of the darkness, but he remain calm for the sake of his son. "There must be a way out, there as to be." the father dinosaur thought to himself. After feeling along the rock wall for a bit more, he soon felt tired for some odd reason and he soon had to lay down. The young one soon felt sleepy too and settled down next to his father.
"What is going to happen to us?" said the young one while snuggling against his father's stomach.
"I'm not sure, just rest now, my son." said he father while nuzzling him with his snout.
"Okay" said the young one and laid his head down.
The father soon laid his head back down too and started to drift off to sleep, his son did the same, drifting off into a deep sleep. And sleep they would for a very long time, unaware of the changes going on throughout the world above them and what kind of world they would wake up too.
