CHAPTER 1 BIG INTRO
LONDON, 2024.
The city was pockmarked with gigantic footsteps leading from the Thames. Behind Godzilla was a sea of fire and destruction. Most of the city had been evacuated and the military launched an all-out-attack against the king of the monsters.
Sergeant David Anderson rounded a small bank and signalled his team forward, they had tried to group at the stadium, but that 'safe-zone' was compromised. Now all they could do was attack the 200 foot tall behemoth with what they had; 7 rifles and two javelin rocket launchers.
The 9 soldiers ducked for cover when a huge, reptilian foot blocked their path, crushing an abandoned tank as if it was paper. David looked up to see the massive, fanged head staring down at them. The beast blinked, revealing its' demonic blank-white eyes. The marines fled as evil-incarnate charged an atomic blast in it's maw.
The blast vaporized three of the men instantly, burning their shadows into the tarmac road. Private Townley screeched as he fired a javelin round up at the kaijus' midsection, the monster twisted its' head in confusion and roared in anger as it realised that a human had tried to hurt it.
The remaining troops escaped a second atomic bombardment which shot from the monsters' mouth. David ordered the two troops with javelins to get to the top floor of ST Pauls' Cathedral to get a good firing position on Godzillas' head. David and three other soldiers followed them up the hundreds of steps to the top as the others pulled back to get help.
Private Townley couldn't hold together, he threw his helmet across the room and went into a panic attack. The sergeant had to crouch at his level to try to calm him down. "c'mon, not now, we can get this sonofabitch. Trust me, you'll be fine."
The young Royal Marine nodded and shouldered the bulky launcher and aimed it out the window arch. A massive, dinosaurid head came into view , the milky white eyes fixed on the dome of the Cathedral as the mouth opened and let out the blood-chilling roar. Both of the launcher crews fired their rounds at the face, knocking the monster off of it's wide, four-clawed feet. Godzilla fell into the adjacent building which collapsed as it fell on the structure.
The monster regained its' footing and scratched the side of its' neck with its' stubby three-clawed hand. The back of Godzillas' throat lit a bright blue and it inhaled with frightening force. David knew what was coming, he cursed and lept for his life over the railing down to the ground floor of the cathedral. He heard a snapping sound as his left leg shattered inside. He screamed in pain as he rolled around the polished marble floor. The dome above him exploded as the marines in the top floor burned to dust and the bright cyan beam burst the dome, sending chunks of burnt stone tumbling down.
Godzilla stood and watched the ancient building which had survived even the blitz cave in on itself, the kaiju stared at the destroyed structure with evil content until it turned and began to stride back to the Thames.
London's burning….London's burning….
