Chapter One: The Behemoth's name


"G-Godzilla?" Helen asked the man, staring at him. "That's its name?" The old man only nodded and watched as Godzilla got ready to battle the Destroyer. The three Claymores stared at him a little longer then turned to watch the upcoming battle.

Godzilla stopped and stared at the Destroyer. It hadn't moved since he had roared his challenge. He stared at it for a minute, cocking his head questionably, then decided to make the first move.

His dorsal fins began to glow blue and the air around his mouth began to burn. Just as the power threatened to burst out, he opened his mouth and released it! The Atomic Breath came bursting from his mouth and blazed towards the Destroyer.

Suddenly the halo around its heads filled up with projectiles and it fired them, ignoring Godzilla. Godzilla turned his head at the last moment and aimed his Atomic Breath at the projectiles that were shooting off in all directions.

He managed to destroy well over half of them before closing his mouth and cutting off the power that swelled in his throat. He glared at the Destroyer and began to make his way towards it.


Dae watched in horrid fascination as the Behemoth made its way towards the Destroyer. The beast's power was incredible to say the least!

"I simply MUST capture that thing alive!" He said feverishly to himself as he watched the Behemoth's dorsal fins glow blue and let loose another blast of it's breath.

"Capture Gojira? Alive? You MUST be joking."

Dae froze, then slowly turned the right side of his face around to see a man standing off to the side. He had black hair, and was dressed in simple clothing, with a white lab coat over them.

The man had an eye patch over his right eye and his remaining eye was fixed on the Behemoth. Dae guessed that the man was a doctor or scientist but that was not what drew his attention.

"You called that thing...Gojira...didn't you? Which means you know about it correct?"

The man nodded, still watching the Behemoth. "Yes I did. That is his name: Gojira. The Destruction god. Fury, wrath and power incarnate. Mankind's greatest folly, creation, and ally."

The more Dae heard, the more obsessed with capturing the Behemoth he became. If what this man said was true, then this Behemoth, this...Godzilla, was far more powerful then anything the Organization had EVER created, and would ever create.

With this Behemoth, they would finally have the power to WIN the war! The man, as if sensing Dae's thoughts suddenly gave a short bitter laugh, causing Dae to look back briefly at him before turning to watch Godzilla.

"Capture Gojira? You will never be able to capture him. You might as well ask the Sun to stop shining, or the Rain to stop falling. You would have better luck in convincing a Yoma to stop eating meat or a Claymore to settle down and start a family."

Dae listened to the man, surprised. He knew about Yoma and Claymores, and yet he was obviously not from the island! Dae then grinned, and turned his left side of his face, the disfigured side, to look at him.

"So you're saying it's impossible." It was not a question. The man looked at Dae and gave a small sad smile.

"You guessed right."

The man fell silent and continued to watch the battle. Dae's interest in Godzilla had only skyrocketed after hearing that. He wanted to capture Godzilla so badly he almost took off for the Organization's headquarters right there to organize a party to capture it. But he managed to resist the impulse.

"So, if all you say is true, why is Godzilla here?" He waited for a while for the answer, and finally it came.

"He was challenged. By that abomination." Dae raised his only eyebrow at this, but stayed silent. He felt that the man wasn't done talking yet, and he was right.

"When that creature awakened, Gojira felt its presence. To Gojira, this thing that does not think, feel or care, is a challenge to him. This Destroyer does nothing but destroy everything until there is nothing left to destroy. Gojira has been challenged so he is here for once purpose, one goal: To destroy the Destroyer."

Dae was fascinated beyond belief. His questions done for now, he turned to watch as Godzilla attacked the Destroyer. So absorbed was he with Godzilla, that he did not hear the man mutter very quietly:

"I should know about Gojira. My creation killed him and I chose to die with him to prevent that weapon from ever being used by man..."


Clare, Helen and Deneve watched in horrid wonder as Godzilla blasted the Destroyer again and again with his breath, then move in close to attack it with his claws, teeth and tail. The Destroyer had holes in it, gashes all over its bodies, and it still continued to do nothing but shoot projectiles out of its halo.

"I-incredible." Helen said in awe. "The power emitting from it surpasses anything we've ever seen!" Deneve was staying calm for the most part.

"I wonder...why did it come here? Why is it attacking that thing? It just doesn't make sense."

Clare said nothing, but she could feel it. The Destroyer was in pain, despite its outward appearances. Rafaela's memories contained many things, but this creature called Godzilla wasn't in them.

"Hey, old man, think you can answer some questions for us?" Helen asked, turning around. However to her surprise, the old man wasn't there. "Wha-?" Helen said in shock.

"Where did he go? There's no way he could walk away that fast, and there's nowhere to hide around here!" They looked around but couldn't find him. Suddenly a roar caught their attention and they jerked around to see Godzilla give one last blast of his Atomic Breath.

The force of it tore the Destroyer in half, and both bodies began to fall in opposite directions as the entire thing began to crumble.

"It did it! That thing, Godzilla, killed that other thing!" Helen cried in excitement.

"No." Clare said in a whisper. "It's not over yet." Helen and Deneve both looked at Clare in confusion.

Then they noticed that Godzilla only roared once, and it did not sound like one of triumph, even though they didn't know what that would sound like. Indeed Godzilla was still standing there, glaring at the Destroyer as it fell to the ground.

Suddenly the left body's eyes turned and looked at Godzilla. Its bodies began to change shape and merge together, forming a shapeless mass of black that swirled around Godzilla.

Godzilla growled at the thing and watched it, waiting for it to act. And act it did. In a sudden move, the black mass surged forward and surrounded Godzilla. Everything it touched withered and died instantly. Then it touched Godzilla's skin.

Godzilla let out a roar of anger and pain and began to blast at the Destroyer as it surged around him.

The second round had begun!


Author's Notes: I was originally going to use an OC to talk to Dae, but I didn't like how it turned out, (plus I despise OCs, sorry) and I figured that it would be better for Dr. Serizawa to be a little OOC then to have someone who has nothing to do with either Godzilla or Claymore. That explains the crappy dialogue from him.
