Chapter III:
Predator And Prey
Spider-Man swung through the skyscrapers of Hamada. Okay, I have a bunch of terrorists and a scientist who changes into a Lizard. Good thing Japan's a small country.
His escape pod came here. They were empty ones as well. Not to mention one that was torn to pieces.
It was going to be one of those days.

Captain Yamato entered the HQ of Takizawa Enterprises. It was one of the richest companies in Japan, beating gajin enterprises like Stark Solutions and Oscorp.
Yamato was dressed in normal business attire. After all, it would seem weird if the Vice-President were dressed like a solider.
He went up to the top floor.
"So, Yamato, did the mission go well?".
Junichiro Takizawa, founder and CEO of Takizawa Enterprises, smoked a cigarette as he stared at his second in command.
"I am afraid we failed", Yamato replied.
Takizawa's grin disappeared.
"What do you mean?".
"Spider-Man got involved. The Commissar was destroyed, the A-bomb was lost at sea". Yamato sweated. Many people have done far less and died.
"However, I did get this".
He pulled a CD out of his suit.
"It contains the research of Dr. Curt Connors. I think you'll find it interesting".
Takizawa spoke into his intercom.
"Miss Mizuno. Send a sub to the area where our ship sunk. If it finds the bomb, get it. If not, we'll need a new Vice-President".

The deer grazed on the grass. Some tourist, hiking in the Chugoku Mts., watched this peacefully scene. The scene was broken in seconds, as a creature, that looked like a lizard wearing the clothes of a scientist, leaped on the deer, devouring it's flesh. The hikers ran from the sense.
An hour later, when he had completed his meal, the Lizard continued on his journey. He had sensed something. The sense grew more and more. Finally, he came to an area where it slowed. The Lizard smashed threw the rock, and it finally reviled what he had been searching for.
It was a temple. And in the center of it was creature, which resembled a humanoid, but had the texture of a reptile! Not only that, but it wore the cloths of a samurai!
All of a sudden, it began to move. The being stood up, and took out his sword.
"Who awakens Krajour, defender of the Wyrons?" he demanded.
The Lizard stood amazed.
"I am the Lizard. For years now, I have tried to liberate this planet from the mammals. However, one mammal, Spider-Man, has stopped me every time, and turn me back into a mammal. But with you, we can kill him, and all over super-mammals who oppose us!"
Krajour replied in a calm, but intimating voice.
"I have no desire to kill the mammals. I just want to revive my people, who died millennia ago. I must find a way to bring them back".
"As long as the humans rule this planet, you will never succeed. The humans don't even care about their own kind. They will kill you".
Krajour thought for a moment.
"I would rather not kill, but if what you say is true, I have no choice".

The Sub swept near the coordinates of where the ship went down. An onboard radiation reader, new technology stolen from the military, as well as the sub for that matter, would detect if the bomb was intact, the radiation being miniscule, or if it had exploded in the crash, in which case the Radiation would be in an enormous area.
"Sir", an officer reported to his captain. "There is something wrong with the radiation reader, Sir."
"What do you mean?" questioned the Captain.
"We're Picking up a large amount of radiation on the reader, but its too localized to indicate that the bomb detonated. It's as if the bomb exploded in an 80 meter diameter and just stopped."
"That's impossible, if the bomb detonated, this whole area of ocean would be flooded with radiation, the radiation reader must be misreading the radiation from the bomb, it's still intact, go in for the retrieval Helmsman" ordered the captain.
"Aye Sir" responded his crew.
"Where picking up something on sonar sir" reported a crewman. "It looks big, real big, and it seems to be moving in on us sir."
"Could it be another ship?" the Captain asked himself.
"Sir, the large source of radiation, it seems to be moving towards us."
"What, that's impossible," uttered the captain as he looked at both the Sonar and Radiation scanner's screens. "It's as if the ship is radioactive itself."
"Well, whatever they are, we can't let them leave and tell others of us."
"Fire the torpedoes" ordered the captain.
The crew did as ordered and 2 torpedoes flew from their tubes, and made direct contact.
"Direct hit sit, but it isn't even fazed, in fact, its moving at double speed now, its close, closer, it's...."
Klaxons rang through out the Sub, as bulkheads broke and seawater began to pour in.
"Red Alert" replied the captain, all hands, prepare for breaches."
The Captain stumbled, and an image in the radiation detector caught his eye, and he had to turn to see it again. At this close range, the object was a detailed silhouette, one that the Captain recognized from the news of years past.
"G-G-Godzilla!" Was the last sound he ever made as blue plasma fire poured in threw the hull of the sub, destroying it utterly.
Godzilla rose to the surface of the water, and looked towards land, at Japan. Man would pay for attacking him, for causing the searing pain and heat to unbearably flow through his body once more, to make him grow, and to then attack him again. The King of the Monsters has returned, and he's mad.
