Author's Note: Hello!
Thank you all so much for the support in the first story. I hope you'll enjoy this one as much as the first one!
Now without further ado. Here comes Danganronpa: Protectors of Humanity!
Prologue : Nightmare
He couldn't understand. How and why was this happening? Why did she say that? He was innocent in this case, so why was he the only one being executed? His assumption was probably right: Monokuma was preparing something.
But right now... Makoto Naegi was paralyzed at his desk as he could hear the thomps of something heavy getting closer. Or actually, he as getting closer to the heavy sound. He wanted to look back but the only part of the body he could move were his eyes. He wanted to have a last glance at his friends on the other side of the execution ground but a damned half and half bear appeared with a board. The bear was wearing glasses and a tie. Was it pretending to be a teacher?
No one said a word, the only sounds in the room were the creaking of engines and the thomps of some sort of hammer, their rythm making Naegi tremble. Then suddenly another thomp but off-beat. Then another. Then everything stopped.
"What? What? What what what what?" sudenly said Monokuma. "What is this?! Why did everything stop?"
Naegi looked up at the bear, his head moving slightly. He could now move it, he noticed, so he looked behind to see that he was a few meter from death by being crushed. He tried to look for his friends but the board was on the way.
"Naegi! Is everything alright?!" asked Asahina from behind the gridded door seperating the group from the execution ground.
"Ah!" exclaimed Monokuma. "That means it was one of you bastards!" The robot jumped over the board, lowering it.
The brunette could finally see his friends: Asahina and Hagakure were confused, Fukawa was running her hands in her hair. Togami looked more confused than ever but Kirigiri looked relieved as she finally turned her head toward the execution ground, seeing that the luckster was alright.
"Unfortunately for you, we have nothing to do with any of this." said the detective...
Wait.
Kirigiri was a detective? How did he know that? Sure she was smart but-
"Groar! Well there's no choice then! I'll have to reboot it by myself!' roared the bear, jumping down his desk and waddling toward a control panel.
But suddenly there was a new thomp that shook the room, it was closer than before. What was strange was that after that thomp, Monokuma fell on the ground, unmoving.
"W-W-What happened to t-the b-bear?" asked Fukawa, pointing at it.
That's right, why did it suddenly stop? When that happens, it means that something happened to Junko-
...What?
How does he know that Junko was the mastermind? She died at the beginning! No...that was Mukuro disguised as her. Wait...
Something was wrong, something was very wrong here.
"Naegi! We're coming to help you!" shouted Asahina as she quickly tried to pry open the metallic door. Kirigiri was almost immediately next to join her.
The thomps resumed, having their own rhythm, sounding more like footsteps and they were getting dangerously close. Naegi could now move his lips, he could finally talk.
"Guys!" he said but something caught his eyes: cracks. On the ceiling above his friends, cracks were getting bigger as the thomps were heard. The ceiling was about to collapse! "Guys watch ou-!"
Too late, a giant scaly foot emerged from the ceiling and crushed his friends under it. He heard the beginning of screams of surprise and fright but they were quickly cut off by the impact of the rubble and the foot against the ground, leaving a giant cloud of dust.
"GUYS!" Naegi cried as he stood up.
Something poked his shoulder and fell to the ground. He looked down to see a small rock and he quickly glanced up to see that cracks were forming on the ceiling above his head. He quickly hid under the table in front of him as everything came down but there was no foot this time. Thankfully the table didn't get buried and he could stand up once more, only to see the execution room completely destroyed.
A big gust of wind blew on Naegi's back. The heat of the air... he knew it wasn't natural. It was from a living creature and with the power of the blow, he knew that it was giant. He slowly and shakily turned around to meet a pair of angry yellow eyes staring down on him.
The giant lizardesque face looking at the young boy, face surrounded by smoke. The face of a King. A face Naegi recognized.
"G-G-Godzilla..." he whispered.
The mention of that name seemed to have switched the monster on as he roared on the luckster's face and kept his mouth wide open, a blue glow starting to grow at the back of the mouth.
Naegi knew what was coming, but he couldn't move. He knew it wasn't real but he couldn't escape.
The flames were growing bigger and impatient. And in a click, Godzilla released his Atomic Breath on the boy.
The brunette got overwhelmed by the burning flames. He raised his hand in front of his face in a useless attempt to protect himself but his clothes were burning on his skin, his flesh was quickly melting over his bones and his bones melting in turn into mush that will quickly turn into dust. His hair burned away as his eyes exploded from the heat. In a matter of seconds, there was nothing left of Makoto Naegi.
"Aaah!" screamed Naegi as he sat on his bed, sweating. He ran a hand in his hair to see if it was still there. He took a long look at his hand to check if his skin and flesh were intact.
Everything was fine, it was only a nightmare. He looked at his side. Kyoko wasn't with him in bed; he remembered that she had an online meeting with the other heads of Future Foundation to talk about what to do.
Naegi sighed. It had only been two days since Godzilla turned his wrath towards the humans and it already felt like months. In only two days, the King of Monsters drawed a straight line of destruction from New York towards the other coast of the United States.
Godzilla, the monster from the movies he watched when he was younger, exists. He learned that almost a month ago. The titan appeared out of nowhere and started to hunt down the giant Monokuma units around the world. Not knowing what to do, Future Foundation decided to leave him alone. But now that he's officially an ennemy of their Hope, they must do something against him.
There was another case on someone being held captive in the 14th branch of Future Foundation. Kirigiri wanted to request the right to question him before his judgement... Ethos Oroya, the Ultimate Destruction. He was a very useful agent but before Godzilla's final fight against the Remnant of Despair Michael Hyde, the Ultimate Hunter and his giant robot the Monokuma Anti-G/Anti-Hope, Ethos got a call from another Remnant of Despair: Yuuko Mori, Ultimate Level Designer. His ex-girlfriend was telling to all agents from the 14th Branch that Ethos was one of them. Since then, he was in the Prison Block waiting for his judgement day.
Naegi sighed, a lot was happening to take care of but they didn't have much time. They must stop Godzilla, but would Future Foundation be able to beat him? They didn't have any good weaponry against something like the leviathan. He was resistant to bullets and explosions, which were all the type of weapons Future Foundation had. The only thing that seemed to hurt him were blades, so all they needed was a giant sword... but yeah. That's something that is not happening.
They... They really need a miracle.
Somewhere in the desert of Mexico.
A lizard, little, insignificant was hiding in a bush from a hungry bird that was perched on a tree branch, staring at the bush, waiting for the little creature to try and run away and then get eaten.
A distraction, that's all the reptile needed to run away and live another day.
Suddenly, the earth began to shake, the tree fell down and the bird flew away, abandonning the idea to get a snack of a lizard. The latter didn't wait another second as it started to run at full speed toward another bush.
A giant red scaly paw, orned with three enormous claws poked out of the ground right before the lizard. A paw thousands of times beigger than a dog's.
The paw of a kaiju.
The lizard went back to the bush and decided to make it its new home.
The giant red creature got out of the ground, it looked around with its piercing yellow eyes, to quickly close them in front of the brightness of the sun. It had been millenials since its saw the star. That was a drawback of being the guardian of the Undergrounds. It took a few seconds to get used to the light.
The monster looked around, the scenery looked a bit like last time he saw the desert but... the air... the life... it was...
No, there was no time for this, he could feel the presence of his opponent on the neighbooring land, the target he needed to slow down for as much time as he could. He was sure that He also just felt his presence.
"Godzilla... I'm coming for you, old comrade."
Baragon was ready, the fight for Humanity against the King of Monsters was about to begin.
