The cold Antarctic ice shook and cracked as what was left of a column of tanks continued yet another barrage of cannon fire, the tank turrets rumbling as shell after shell departed its cannons. The hatch of the lead tank opened, out popping out a young man, the commander of what was left of the column. Or at least, he was the commander now. What was left of their actual commander was just a smoldering pile of twisted metal, so he had been hastily promoted to take charge of the situation.

He surveyed the situation. It didn't look good, not in the slightest. He had seven tanks at his disposal, really nothing, but they would have to make do. All they had to do was hold out long enough for the Goten-

A gigantic charcoal colored tail smashed into the lead tank, completely crushing it and instantly killing the short-lived new commander. Before the other tanks could even think about stopping their barrage and try to retreat, the tail swept through their ranks, sending tanks flying into the snow while upturning others.

Godzilla let out an angry roar as he withdrew his tail, then growled in anger as multiple small beams streaked across his side. The King of Monsters turned to the source as the master beams continued to try and hurt him, and spotted his assailants. The hapless master tanks tried to withdraw as fast as their treads would allow, but it was in vain. Godzilla advanced upon them and made short work of them as he brutally stomped with his clawed feet and swept them aside with his tail. He had not even finished them off when even more cannon shells began to explode against his back, blowing small pieces off but otherwise doing nothing else but annoy him. The cannon's barrage was immediately joined by a hail of missiles and masers, as vehicles firing surface to surface missiles and more master cannons joined the fray against the radioactive nightmare. Godzilla gave an angry grunt, being forced to stumble forward in response to the unexpected concentration of fire on him. The damage was insignificant, it would quickly be healed by his incredible healing factor, that was for sure.

But these humans had become annoying now.

The spines on Godzilla's back leading to his tail slowly began to heat up, and began to let off a bright blue glow... Most of the vehicles continued their concentration of firepower on the monster, but the attentive fighters instantly knew what was coming, and tried to back up as quickly as possible in order to avoid it. But their fate had already been sealed.

Godzilla suddenly turned, facing the army of tanks and missile carriers and unleashing his infamous Atomic Breath near instantly. The blue beam immediately destroyed the unfortunate vehicles within his line of sight, burning through their armor effortlessly and causing them to erupt in an explosion of burning metal. The beam didn't stop there and continued along its path, sweeping through and instantly annihilating almost everything that the Earth Defense Forces had thrown at him. Soon the spines on Godzilla's back stopped glowing, and he let the blue beam die out as he closed his mouth, observing the destruction he had caused. The attack force was an unrecognizable mess, with all left being charred remains of once proud tanks, maser cannons, and missile carriers on top of the barren wasteland of Antarctica.

Godzilla gave a satisfied growl as he heard nothing but the howling wind, and let out a ferocious roar of triumph as he turned towards the direction of the ocean. It was time to leave, he had followed these humans here long enough. He took a heavy step forward, and stopped. He had sensed something. Godzilla turned his head towards the nearby mountain and narrowed his eyes. He could not see it, but something big was making its way to him. And it was close. He growled in agitation and quickly repositioned himself into fully facing the mountain and waited, growling in anticipation of his unseen foe.

The Gotengo blasted out the side of the mountain, its massive drill rotating rapidly as it cleared the rest of the frozen rock out of its way and flew towards its foe. Inside the proud battleship, the humans inside looked on in a combination of awe and horror at the carnage the atomic nightmare had wrought on the attack force meant to soften him up. A nervous gunner looked away from the screen and turned towards the captain, an older man who had commandeered his crew against countless beasts before now. Before having to face Godzilla. "Target within range, sir", he informed him,"Ready to fire!" The captain kept watch of the screen, viewing his foe and never taking his eyes off him before giving the order. "Fire!" The Gotengo's triple deck cannons immediately opened fire, launching a barrage of heavy cannon fire towards Godzilla. The shells struck his chest, exploding eliciting some smoke but doing little in harming him as Godzilla gave an angry growl, his spines beginning to glow. Godzilla opened his maw and unleashed his Atomic Breath, striking the Gotengo dead on. The battleship was bathed in sparks as it took the full force of the blast, and within it the crew cried out in alarm as systems began to fail and spark, before the commander barked out "Fire again!", unwilling to let his foe win so easily without a fight. "Reload missile pods, hurry!", his deputy captain shouted, acknowledging the order, but it was in vain. Godzilla's Atomic Breath had taken its toll on the Gotengo and had taken out its main power systems, leaving the ship stranded atop the ice and joining its fallen brethren. "Give me a damage report!" a crewman shouted, and soon received a grave response. "Major damage reported, sir."

Godzilla gave a satisfied growl as he saw the ship crash onto the ice, and slowly began to close the distance with it, determined to completely destroy it. He began to charge up his Atomic Breath, his spines beginning to glow again, but Mother Nature was not on his side. The ground began to tremble, causing Godzilla to stop his advance and look around himself in confusion. A loud cracking filled the air, and the ice below Godzilla began to weaken as cracks began to reveal themselves. Inside the battleship, the crew grabbed onto the railing to support themselves, before a crewman exclaimed, "What's going on!?" The deputy captain viewed the scanners, had another monster made its way towards the battle? When nothing came up but Godzilla he realized the true cause of the shaking. "It's an earthquake!", he shouted out, viewing Godzilla on the screen as the Monster King observed his shaking surroundings. The cracks below Godzilla widened, and with a sharp crack the ground beneath him gave out completely, revealing a gigantic gorge underneath the monster. Godzilla gave out a roar of surprise as he suddenly lost his footing while unleashing the beam, causing it to veer of course from its intended target completely and sail off into the sky. Godzilla smashed into the side of the gorge, and began to fall deep into it. A look of realization dawned on the captain's face as he witnessed this miracle, then hardened again as he saw the nearby mountain and realized what had to be done in order to make sure Godzilla would stay down for good. "Aim at the mountain!", he cried out to one of his gunners who quickly reacted, grabbing the lever and giving out a yell of vigor before pulling down the lever. The Gotengo fired off a swarm of ten missiles that quickly traveled up to the mountainside, detonating against it and unleashing an avalanche of boulders and ice into the gorge below.

Godzilla gave out a groan as he was quickly enveloped by the debris, but soon was silenced as the gorge was completely closed off, sealing him away from the rest of the world and ending his reign of terror. Godzilla had been beaten.

The crew launched to their feet and immediately began crying out in joy and cheer, realizing the grand victory they just had and what it meant for the rest of the world. The deputy captain turned to his captain and smiled, nodding his congratulations to the man that had led them to this victory. The captain allowed relief to wash over his face and nodded his thanks to his deputy, then silently gave thanks to whatever forces had allowed them to prevail against Godzilla despite the grave circumstances.

Over the past one hundred years, a succession of relentless wars and widespread environmental destruction had awakened deadly monsters. At last, instead of killing each other, mankind had come together to combat the monsters. The Earth Defense Forces were born. At the same time, mutant humans with remarkable physical abilities were being discovered all over the world. The Earth Defense Forces recruited these mutant humans and formed them into a special unit. Their name, the M Organization! Their mission was to destroy the number one enemy, the king of monsters that appeared in 1954 and has since regularly threatened man's very existence on this planet. It's name is...

...Godzilla
