Author's Note: Sheesh, I didn't expect you, readers, to desire a full story of this so much. Well, alrighty, I'll grant your wishes. But I have yet to make any plans on how the update schedule for this will go.
Islamsayyid: The design of Godzilla is based on his Final Wars variant, as well as his hatred of humanity. This is not a kid-friendly story, unlike the other Digital Human ones.
Xirons20: Unfortunately neither seen or played any of those.
Thunder Dragon: Hey man, I've already known about all those abilities. I have watched all of the films, read some comics, and played quite a few of the games as well. While I may not be knowledgeable in terms of the 'fake' sciences behind it, I know Godzilla. As for the Challenge, no thank you, I don't do challenges, even as… Unique… As yours was.
Manda Jr: This is your fault, you wished for a full story, now the ignorance of mankind shall bear witness to the struggling girl handling a monster that knows no bounds on its hatred.
Kaiju Junky: More, shall be granted.
Edboy4926: She'll get an interesting dream cycle that's for sure.
Paxloria: I know right!
Daemon of Crawling Tentacles: Rising from the depths a full story appears, now you shall be witness to its monstrous testimony.
Dragon Fan: It's an actual story now, but I'm not doing the challenge.
King of Fans: Yeah, I've thought of crossing SAO before, but I could never really get how it would work. Just no inspiration for it.
Student: Yep, "Let them fight!" review, I remember. You're partial to blame for this, getting Godzilla marathon stuck in my head with your review! Now everyone is clambering me for a full story! Very well, let the persecution of the masses weigh down on Hakuno's soul as she barely holds on to the title of 'Master' for the King of Monsters.
Furukawa023: A Beast Class Godzilla would have been EVEN WORSE for our little protagonist girl, while true, I don't think Hakuno would have survived.
NoName93: I've never played Persona, but there is already a Hakuno story in that genre I believe.
Enjoy the chapter everyone! A mistaken wish that leads to consequences, that which inadvertently brings either salvation or demise to mankind by a creature who knows rage against them; The King of Monsters.
Digital/Kaiju
Chapter 2: Mysterious Connection
It was a sea of black, earthy colors, under the darkness of the night sky.
They were buildings, tall constructs of man that rose from the earth to reach the heavens.
Underside, paved concrete that made the roads, passageways that trail cars went under, vehicles of wide craftsmanship stood silent.
But, the world did not stay silent.
There were screams.
Laughter borne from madness.
Sorrow that cried tears from realization.
The city burned, scorched, turned to ash and soot, buildings that once stood tall now lay as rubble on the ground.
Radiation encased the area, sickly invisible decimation that struck on every corner, murdering thousands.
In the midst of it all, streaming out breaths of pure nuclear radiation, stood many meters tall a saurian creature, twisted effigy of a dinosaur irradiated into terror. An ominous glow coming from the dorsal plates along its back, before another wave of smoldering atomic breath erupted forth from its jaws, decimating an already destroyed cityscape further.
He hated them.
He despised them.
They did this to him.
A bright light, an explosion, his memory recalled that with vivid clarity.
They tried to stop his revenge.
Machines of many makes, ground, and flight, they sought to destroy him using methods less powerful than what brought him upon them.
He destroyed them.
A rage unbound.
Now he'll destroy their homes, their display of power, he'll tear it down asunder.
Humanity would fear him.
In this moment, this creature would be called after an ancient sea legend of a mythological beast.
Gojira.
Or, as the rest of the world would know him.
Godzilla.
King of Monsters.
His decimation of Tokyo would have someone repeat a passage they once heard.
"Now I have become death, destroyer of worlds."
For they all thought that was true, in one form or another.
A sixteen-year-old girl with long, brown hair with matching colored eyes awoke with a startle, her heartbeat pumping quickly before she took a minute to calm down. Hakuno Kishinami examined herself first and foremost, checking her condition, and finding no tears in the brown school uniform or any injuries outside of a mild numbing sensation that ached her muscles, most likely due to the strain of her magic circuits.
The dream cycle… She hadn't experienced the sensation in the Moon Cell, as dreams were not a possibility for her in the virtual landscape. It was a dream that connected the Master with their Servant's past history, this Hakuno learned from the library during the Holy Grail War.
She examined around her, her ears now picking up the variety of sounds, and sense of smell detecting the overpowering scent of anesthetic. As was expected, as she was in some large building, with a staggering amount of people who, like her, were caught in the battlefield between a duo of monsters.
Though, it was also to say she was partially responsible.
Many individuals had burns, each either worse or better than another's, not to mention there was the dead that was occasionally carried off by military soldiers, but fortunately, they were few.
There were just too many people, even when the city had an evacuation order, it was apparently many didn't make it out in time, most of these were caught from the fires and destruction of her Servant's Atomic Breath.
Radiation poisoning as well.
Nuclear radiation, as she knew from Berserker's devastating memory, the deadly particles and waves of the natural world would not affect a human made of data. Perhaps, in a way, her being a Digital Human lessoned the effects on her person, negated it entirely, or by some method, her connection with the monster Servant made her immune.
"You're awake," A nurse approaches and bends down to attend Hakuno, "Hello, I'm Nurse Yaeko, how are you feeling? Does it hurt anywhere?"
"I'm fine," Hakuno Kishinami replied, "No pain."
She was reminded of the medical wing's Sakura NPC.
"Good to hear," The nurse smiled at her. "You were brought in by Sgt. Yashiro, unconscious. I was given specific instructions to be assigned to you."
So, Miss Yaeko was assigned to her specifically, not just a generalized person who attends anyone that needs help.
"Why?" Hakuno questioned.
"Huh?" The Nurse responded, clearly not expecting being questioned as to why. "Honestly… I have no idea," She replied. "When you came in, you were unharmed in every way, perfectly uninjured, even free of radiation. I figured you fell unconscious due to shock, but there was one exception."
Yaeko looked down to Hakuno's left hand, and the magus knew she referred to the Command Seals.
"Your left hand was bleeding, I cleaned the wound and bandaged it, remarkably it healed rather quickly. I removed the bandage wraps just an hour ago."
"Thank you," Hakuno replied simply, she absently wondered where Berserker had gone after the battle, all the Digital Human knew was that he had headed to sea. "Do you have any water?" She asked, feeling rather parched.
"Ah, yes, are you hungry as well? We only have emergency meals so don't expect anything fancy."
"That's fine, thank you," The magus girl said.
The nurse smiled and turned, leaving to obtain what Hakuno Kishinami needed. In the meantime, the Digital Human could help but feel a bit singled out, of all the people who really needed to be tended, why was she given special treatment? Perhaps, with what occurred in her first moments on Earth, the military soldier known as Sergeant had seen examples of magic from her that warranted suspicion.
Hakuno looked at the ring, Regalia, on her finger. The object most likely was the cause of suspicion due to its light show in the Humvee, but she couldn't casually get rid of it. It likely was extremely important for her person to even remain in the real world without destabilizing completely due to her digital frame.
Whatever the case, the magus girl hoped it wouldn't draw much attention.
Miki Saegusa pressed her fingers against her temple, for the past day the normally latent psychic powers she had been born with never specified anything about a specific Kaiju, also known as monster, had now been bothering her with a severe headache and a odd sense of direction that guided her towards the recent city where the creature known as Manda had attacked yesterday.
As well as a new creature that had yet to be classified.
She was born twenty-four years ago, in 1980, and ever since had developed a abnormally strong psychic potential that tied indirectly with the appearance of Kaiju across the globe, all which decimating large swaths of civilizations, snuffing out hundreds to thousands of lives before the national military for that country managed to push back the monsters into the sea or hibernation. Miki was quickly identified for her precise predictions and kept under watch by the Japanese Self-Defense Force as she grew, before reaching the age where she joined them and was assigned into the Kaiju Response Division, K.R.D.
In 1958, the first Kaiju appeared, ever since that memorable day, more and more giant monsters made themselves known with destructive capability. In most cases, the military power of humanity found itself at odds with them, trying to destroy them, only to fail nearly every time.
By fortune, in 1961, a new Kaiju appeared, though initially perceived an enemy, it proved to be on Mankind's side, Mothra. While the insect Kaiju managed to defeat multiple monsters, she rarely killed any of them, most going into hibernation or uncharted islands. But Mothra could not be everywhere at once, especially during the moments where two Kaiju were attacking at separate parts of the globe, and especially during the time period in which Mothra's reincarnation was in egg form.
Miki Saegusa had a connection with Mothra, or rather, the Cosmos, two twin fairies interconnected with the Guardian of Earth. They had approached her in her childhood, and again in her teenage years, one more in adulthood. The Cosmos seemed to know that her psychic gift was quite potent.
They explained that the world's balance had been shifted by a great evil, that the timeline had been changed to an uncertain path, all because this evil destroyed a defender of Earth in its infancy.
The Cosmos didn't specify much, leaving it a mystery
Now Miki finds herself acting on her psychic powers once more, following the pattern that is presented to her, all the way into this makeshift medical wing of a building with hundreds of patients, a familiar sight given the destructive aftermaths that Kaiju bring.
She was close.
She could feel it.
Miki wanders through the buildings, eyes trailing over each person for only a brief second before going to the next.
Closer… closer…
Then the military psychic spots her, brown hair and eyes with a pale complexion, an emotional expression that seems so off for a human, as if the girl lacked the capacity to express herself. The teenager wore a dignified brown school uniform, but there was something to her, a feeling... A feeling… Something different…
Miki Saegusa closed her eyes, focusing on her powers on the strange girl.
What was it that made her abilities act so strange, guide Miki towards this child?
Her vision was darkness, as was common when she closed her eyes.
Suddenly, it swirled, her sight was greeted with a large ocean illuminated by a full moon, with that girl in the dead center, slowly sinking deeper and deeper.
That's when she noticed, behind that girl, a massive, huge, gigantic monster, Kaiju. Its head, so much larger than the entire body of the girl, yet somewhat hidden behind the teenager. It- He sported black scales, multiple rows of blue dorsal plates running down the back, his mind induced with madness.
But such effects related to his class affected him little. He had always known rage at humanity, even as he defended the Earth.
He turned his attention towards Miki, she felt so small, so insignificant.
A roar.
Godzilla.
King of Monsters.
Servant. Berserker.
An image, even larger than the Kaiju, shined behind both he and the girl, it was a cube.
The Moon. The Moon Cell.
Hakuno Kishinami. Victorious Master.
Ruler of the Moon Cell. Inheritor. Magus. Owner of the Regalia. Victor of the Holy Grail War.
Miki Saegusa stumbled back against a wall, her head pounding as her psychic powers retreated, having been exerted beyond their potency.
"Miss Saegusa?" A man's voice talked from behind her, a soldier acting as her bodyguard.
"She's one," Miki said, pointing towards the now identified magus, she didn't know what the term truly meant but it was one that was tied with the brown-haired girl. "I want her part of my psychic team."
Anywhere else and this girl would have a hell of a time, Miki Saegusa knew that for a fact. If any knowledge of Hakuno Kishinami's true nature was released, militaries around the world would be trying to kidnap her at any cost for their own gain. Hakuno would be far safer hiding behind the veil of her being a psychic, than any other place, even if she avoided the Government's attention at first, her connections would eventually be found out.
"Yes, ma'am," The soldier said. "I'll arrange it immediately."
Miki Saegusa walked up to the magus teenager, she knew her name, but it would be courteous to introduce herself.
"Hello, I'm Miki Saegusa," She said with a smile, putting out a hand in greeting. "I've come this way to help you, would you tell me your name?"
The girl looked at her with a blank face, but there was an air of confusion and suspicion around her that Miki caught. She reached a hand and grasped the psychic's own, "Hakuno Kishinami."
"I'm part of a certain division," Miki began, shaking hands. "In it, I'm creating a team with special abilities like you, I also have a power. I know you do not have a home, but I can give you someplace to stay."
Hakuno blinked, no doubt debating what to do, "I would appreciate that."
She smiled, "Good to hear, Hakuno," Miki said. "Come with me, we'll get you sorted out."
"Okay," The young teenager replied.
Miki inwardly sighed with relief, this girl was connected with a Kaiju and a hugely powerful one. Not to mention, there were so many mysteries that revolved around her origins of what she'd seen with her own powers. Hakuno would be safer with her, and would probably feel more comfortable with others with abilities as well.
She turned and guided the young magus out the building.
A few hundred meters deep under the ground, an ominous blue glow lit up a nearly dark ocean floor. The origin of this light source traveled at a steady pace of 24 knots, a massive saurian body, one hundred meters in length, Godzilla; King of Monsters.
Madness Enhancement.
What a troublesome Class Skill, the byproduct of his being summoned as a Berserker Servant, a number of different terms, knowledge forced into his mind by the Moon Cell's Regalia, filtered about in a manner that would have normally mean little to him if not for the importance of what else he gained thanks to it.
His existence had been erased from this timeline. This Earth's balance was in danger of immediate destruction. All thanks to an old arch enemy, King Ghidorah.
It filled him with rage.
Godzilla had to force the emotion down.
Oh, he hated humans, he hated humanity with a burning hatred.
To be summoned by a human angered him, he would not be a Servant to a fragile, vulnerable thing like his so-called 'Master'.
He had no choice.
His 'Master' was the only anchor to this world until such a time he could defeat King Ghidorah and restore the timeline to its original state. So, he'll keep her alive.
Tied to such a weak link, it was pathetic for him, the King.
His senses reached out, and he identified a familiar comrade, only, his old ally would not know of him. Indeed, it appeared he was making his way towards Japan, right in the path where he could feel his 'Master' heading towards.
Very well, another battle, he would earn his old ally's respect through combat as he did ages ago.
Afterwards, he would seek out a source of nuclear energy to consume.
