Chapter 2: Might makes right

Godzilla, the Behemoth of nuclear nightmare rests peacefully under the ocean, the calm soothing waves of the sea. With not a care in the world, he let the water currents rip through his spines. Until something pierces through his mind, a tingling thought of terror and hatred, "Destroy the humans", he can feel it, gnawing at him like a rodent chewing its meal. Until he can't bare with it anymore, he must strike now. Godzilla rises from the bottom of the ocean and set his way strangely enough westward, where could he be going to?

Tiananmen Square, Beijing, People's Republic of China

The atmosphere of Beijing is as terrible as always, the smog just doesn't seems to die out. It even obscures the vision of the inhabitants, the Chinese people in the square struggles to find their way while wearing masks to protect their breaths from the toxic air. Suddenly a tremor is felt throughout the city, cars and other small objects rumbles, the people at first were surprised but soon they figure that this is no normal earthquake, this is something big heading their way. Out in the city's river, Godzilla rises from underneath the ocean and let out his mighty thunderous roar. The pedestrian run in fear as the great behemoth lumbers forward into dryland, smashing districts and shops without trouble. His spines flash up and his signature Atomic breath blasts away a huge swath of land, leveling the Beijing Olympic Stadium. He swipes his tail into the city's media center and immediately brings the glass tower down to the ground, burying everyone inside it and stomp the ruin with his massive foot. Eventually, Godzilla arrives at the Tiananmen Square, where millions of Chinese are gathered and unaware of the destruction raging across their city due to the pollution and government censorship. By the time they have a glimpse of Godzilla's silhouette lumbering forward through the smog, they panic and scream, the Chinese run for shelter as fast as possible but when Godzilla's atomic breath reach them, only death is their liberator from the agony of the present.

The PLA is rushed up to the scene to stop the monster with everything they have, from tanks, gunships, copyright infringed technology and just about anything else that they can muster. The Chinese air force put up a pathetic struggle against the monster, as their jets soaring over Godzilla, trying to drop some bombs on him, they either barely tickle his spines or got swatted off like pesky flies. Some of the jets engines even fail mid flight, causing them to crash land killing their pilots in the process. On the ground, the armored and mechanized forces desperately try to bring down Godzilla with their weapons, only to be on the receiving end of the monster's feet. Their tanks are crushed into husks and their soldiers scrambled for cover, abandoning their job and leave Godzilla to freely destroy whatever part of Beijing he want. To add more fuel to the nightmare, Godzilla did not relent his fury on the Forbidden City itself, tearing down the giant Mao Zedong poster and leveling the CCP's palace with an Atomic blast then wrap it up with his tail smashing the ruined husk.

Soon enough, Godzilla retires to the sea and leave China be. But not without some serious damages, the sudden attack is viewed as a sudden act of aggression without anyone to blame. The Chinese media simply don't know what to tell its people. The surviving CCP members including the head of state are simply too beat up to coordinate any action for the country. The world media gives the event a huge amount of publicity with extensive report and experts giving advice on how to avoid such an event in the future. But for Kiryu back in his hanger viewing the news, there is something out of the ordinary. He was a Godzilla once, he fought the current Godzilla and other monsters to know how they divide the world into their territories. He activates his internet connection and dive into the network to find something useful. But unfortunately, nothing is normal. Kiryu himself fought Godzilla long enough to know the creature's pattern of behavior, it would always attack Tokyo, Japan and on occasion, going to fight other monsters somewhere else in the world.

"Something's troubling you?" Asked MechaGirain as her avatar appear in Kiryu's cyber space domain. "Most troubling indeed. Godzilla suddenly change his target from Tokyo to Beijing." Said Kiryu as he continues to monitor the news broadcasts. "Doesn't Godzilla always do that? I mean after all, he is just following his instinct." She let out her snarky nature at him, it draws Kiryu's frustration at her prejudiced attitude towards Godzilla and maybe himself to some extend. "Godzilla isn't simply a dumb beast, he can think of ambush tactics, they're simple and often improvised on the fly. But he never choose to go outside of the boundary of Japan." Kiryu switches off the monitors and turn to MechaGirain, she doesn't seem to be move by his facts yet, evidence of her sheltered upbringing. She crosses her arms in front of her chest, seemingly frustrated by his insistency on some sort of conspiracy instead of her simplicity. "Have you ever consider simplicity is the best answer?" She stubbornly asked, to no one's surprise, Kiryu's answer discredit her inexperience and young nature. "Unfortunately for you, no I haven't. Godzilla maybe a beast in your eyes but to me, it is a thinking creature. It would always choose to engage Japan to claim me. But today, something is controlling Godzilla to go outside of what he considered to be important."

Out in the deep dark void of space, a gigantic space ship shaped like a huge ellipse, on its hull are strange symbiotic masses with gold color latching onto it. Not only that, but the ship's hanger in large enough for Kaijus to stand upright inside. A figure looms ominously, its three heads protrude out of the wall masses and breath the cold air of space. The middle head has a shorter neck than the two heads on its side. The draconic creature let out a haunting bellow as if to call out to someone to approach it, and almost on cue, a metallic monster with red optics approach it, a MechaGodzilla, the one from MechaGirain's dream. The mechanical monster kneel before the nightmarish dragon in a manner similar to a knight. Dragon's middle head leans forward and let out a hiss, "What is the result of our experiment?". The mechanical monster reply in a monotone voice. "It is a success. The test subject responded...perfectly to our signal. Once we arrive on the planet, we will be able to manipulate the will of the masses to our liking." The dragon retracted his middle head and glance over to his left and notice Gigan has arrived. "Back so soon? I gather you've failed to...recruit the prospect." The dragon growls at the cybernetic monster, "On the contrary, I've been able to implant a seed of interest. Sooner or later, the fourth horseman will be ours."; "Then perhaps, not all is lost on you...yet. But only time will tell if your usefulness is still of use for me. Before I have your free will...supplanted."
