Note: I don't own Godzilla or Princess Mononoke.
Chapter 2.
After the fight with the giant boar, both Godzilla and Junior went with the humans back to their village. Though when they got there the humans were surprised, frightened, nervous and cautious around the kaiju king and prince. And some even had their weapons on them, but the village elder woman had soothed the villagers that it was Godzilla who had killed the demon, along with the human male. Soon both father and son were treated to a feast for their heroics, and this had shocked Godzilla much.
In all of his years he never thought of humans treating him with food before, and they soon began to warm up to him. the children were rather curious of about them rather than scared like the adults. But that's how the human hatchlings are. Godzilla was sitting down on the ground, eating some meat the villagers had gave him, while the children were making friends with Junior. Junior was happy that he made friends with humans again, like he did when he was a hatcling. Godzilla watched as his son was enjoying the children. As he watched them he began to think on the years of his march on Japan, the many lives he killed and taken in the never-ending battle between him and the humans. And somehow he was beginning to feel something, something he never felt before... guilt, regret.
While he was thinking the human male who had helped him killed the boar, came up next to him. " Are you alright stranger?" The boy asked thus snapping Godzilla from his train of thought. He looked at the human, with a irretated look. " Of course I'm fine human. I was just thinking, till' you came." He said right before he bit off his meat. The boy nodded. " I see. I wanted to thank you and your friend, for saving our lives. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself." The boy said right before he sat down. " I am prince Ashitaka of the Emishi tribe." The boy Ashitaka said. Godzilla looked at the boy with a cinfuesed look. " A prince? Your a prince of these people?" He asked. Ashitaka nodded with a small smile. " Yes, I am a prince and Kaya my sister is a princess." Ashitaka explained. Godzilla looked at him dumbfound, but nodded and took another bite of his meal. " Since I told you my name, you never told me yours." Ashitaka said. Godzilla looked at him closed his eyes and said. " Godzilla. My name is Godzilla the king of the kaiju."
Ashitaka stared at him with wonder. " Godzilla? King of the monsters?" The prince asked. Godzilla nodded chewing his food. " Yeah that's what the humans were I'm from call me." He said. " I see then." Ashitaka turned his eyes at Junior who was playing with the little kids. " And your friend's name would be?" Godzilla took a sip of the water that was given to him. " His name is Junior prince of the kaiju, he's my son." He said with his eyes closed. Ashitaka looked back at Junior, then back to Godzilla. " He's your son? Well I can clearly see the resemblance between you two." Ashitaka said while eating his rice.
Everyone was enjoying the feast, even Godzilla was starting to enjoy it, but was still edgy being around the very thing he hated. After the feat it was now a few hours past midnight. The sound of burning flames crackled through the wooden structure of a small Emishi shrine. The light flickered against the walls and floor and off a large section of cliff the shrine had been built into. All the village elders and warriors sat in an uneasy silence as they watched the old Oracle gently drop another polished stone over the beige cloth. The bluish stone struck a yellow stone and rolled into the center of a red triangle that was painted on the cloth. Her ancient eyes gazed at where all of her stones had landed and studied the pattern which they created.
" This is very, very terrible." The Oracle said, picking up the stones in her small hands. "The Boar God had journeyed from lands far to the west. There was a dark poison festering within his body. A poisonous hatred that was feeding off his pain and rage." She dropped another stone, a green colored one, which landed just a few inches away from a piece of deer antler. " The poison had drove him beyond the brink of his sanity and transformed him into the demon that tried to attack our village. That is what the stones tell me."
A murmur swept over the small group of men, as looks of worry and concern masked their bearded faces. Kyoji , one of the Emishi's eldest warriors was the first to speak out. "Are there more Demon Gods like him?" He asked. "Will we be forced to fight them all if they try to attack us again?"
the Oracle replied with a gentle tone. " As far as the stones can foresee, there are no other's like him."
" What of the two creatures that killed it?" Miroku asked.
Another elder agrred with his friend. " What are we to do with them? Were they sent here, by the Emperor?"
The Oracle smiled, and rolled two stones in her hand. " The creatures are not of this land, nor are they of this time."
" What does that mean, Wise One?"
" I will be honest with all of you. I have known of these creature's coming for some time now." She looked up and smiled at the gawking faces of the men who were fixated on her. " The premonition came to me in a dream many nights ago. It said that when the moon was in the west corner of the summer sky and the stars of the Heavens were at their greatest peak, a symbol of our past would come, bringing with it a plague of darkness. At the same time, on the same day, two symbols of our future would come, bringing with it a light of hope. Upon awakening from the dream, I immediately turned to the stones for answers. They gave me none."
Koga, whom had been quiet for most of the time, suddenly spoke." A symbol of our past and two symbols of our future?"
" That is correct, Elder Koga." the Oracle replied. " The Boar God was the symbol of our past bringing with it a plague of darkness." She then paused and took a deep breath. " And the two creatures are the symbols of our future... bringing a light of hope."
The white-bearded man looked at his fellow elders with a slight look of dismay then looked back at the Oracle. " Can this be true, Wise One? Are those creatures truly from the future?"
The Oracle nodded. " From a land far beyond the reach of even the power of Japan and its Emperor. Almost an entire millennium separates our worlds."
The elders looked at her with wonder and amazment. " But in their time, they were once gigantic beasts of total and great power." The oracle said. " The black creature Godzilla I believe is his name, from what prince Ashitaka told me. Was once a towering beast, far larger than anything I ever known."
The elder had the look of fear and awe, they never thought that there were creatures like Godzilla that were giant's in the future.
" They were...colossal monsters Oracle?" Koga asked. The Oracle nodded. " Indeed, but that is not all either, in my vision there was talk of another great beast. One who is no doubt pure evil, this evil beast is like Godzilla but who desires nothing more but death and destruction of all living things." This had the elders awestrucked. Another creature like Godzilla and Junior was coming there in their time?
" Another one Wise One? When will this evil arrive?" Miroku asked. The oracle let out a sigh. " That I do not know. All that I know is that a far greater evil, than the Boar God will arrive from the skies above. That is what the stones and my vision tell me." She said.
The whole room was silent from this news, then one of the elders decided to break it.
" Wise One, if you say that those creatures are from the future, and the they were giants. How is it that they're here, and how did they become our size?"
Smiling calmly the old woman shook her head and gathered all of her stones into a small leather pouch. " That is something that I will have to ask our guests myslef."
This last statement caused a few of the men to swap agitated looks.
" But what do we do with them?" Kyoji asked. " We've already broken many of our laws by allowing them to regain their health in our village. You also said that they were once colossal giants, so why not get them as far away from our village as soon as we can?"
" They had saved Princess Kaya's life, and helped Prince Ashitaka kill the demon!" Miroku retorted. " We should be grateful to them for what they've done. I they hand't arrive, then we would've been killed by the demon."
" They are outlanders as well as monsters, and if we don't get rid of them, they no doubt try and kill us with backs turned!"
Before a heated argument could erupt, the dwarfish old Oracle slowly rose to her feet. " Return to you homes and families, my friends." she said calmly. " The creatures fate has already been laid out for them by the hands of the universe. None of us can alter what has already been decided."
" If you feel that, this is the wisest way to go about the creatures presence here, Oracle." Miroku said. " Then we shall graciously abide by your wisdom." When these words were said, he, along with all the other men bowed, expressing their respect for the old woman.
The Oracle returned the bows, and watched silently as the elders and warriors began to make their way out of the shrine and down towards the village below.
After the feast Godzilla and Junior were staying in a hut, resting to get their strength back. Godzilla was up againts a wall in deep thought. In all his years he had never felt anything for the humans, but hatred and disgust. Even though he had allies, some of them didn't like the way how he treated to humans, especially Mothra, since she is the guardian of earth. Now Godzilla was starting to feel guilt of what he done to the humans over the years, even though he saved them many times and some were greatful for his help.
He just didn't fully understood the humans that much, he used to think they were nothing but greedy, selfish, ungreatful beings who cared for nothing but themselves.
But now he's slowly beginning to understand them.
As he sat there his son was sitting near the fire warmming up, Junior was staring into the flames. He felt old memories coming from the depths of his mind, the old and painful memories. Memories of his death by the claws of Destroyah. Though he never admited it before, Junior somewhat developed a fear for the oxygen destroyer the humans dubbed: The Devil.
Junior shuddered at the horrible event that happened to him years ago. He was so caught up, he didn't noticed his father had place a hand on his shoulder. Junior snapped out of his trance and looked at his father. " Are you alright my son? You don't look so good." He asked him with concern. Junior nodded. " Yes father I'm fine, just old memories that's all." Junior didn't want his father to know, that he was afraid of Destroyah even though he's dead. Godzilla knew he wasn't tell him truthfully, but decided to let it slide.
Then someone entred the hut catching both the king and prince's attention. It was Ashitaka and his sister Kaya. The two siblings entered the hut stopping infront of the two kaiju. " Kaya! Ashitaka! what's up, something you need?" Junior asked. " The Oracle would like to see you two." " She has something important to talk to you both about."
Both Godzilla and Junior looked at eachother confused, but decided to see what the old woman wants.
Soon both the king and the prince entered the hut with the Oracle. Soon she began to tell them on what she saw in her vison, telling them that two lights would appeare in times of darkness, and the boar representing the darkness. Then she told them that she also saw something coming from the sky, another kaiju like them but with a killer intent and evil. Godzilla nodded at her story. " I see then, but there is one thing I want to know elder. Just what caused the boar to become what he is?" " Ah that is what I was getting to my friend."
The Oracle pulled something out of her sleave, revealing a small black metal ball." This is what we found inside the boar, after you and prince Ashitaka had killed it." She explained. " This metal object had broken sevreal of his ribs, scourched his flesh and turned him into demon. This is the very source of what caused his transformation." She handed the black ball to Junior, who sniffed it. After a couple of sniffs, he moved the ball away in disgust. " Ugh! It stinks of rotten flesh, and by the way it smells it's an iron bulet from what I know." He said handing the bullet to his father. Godzilla looked at it, narrowing his eyes. " Even worse it smells of human as well." He snarled.
" Elder just where did that boar come from anyway?" Junior asked her. " The boar had came from lands far to the north, I'm assuming that is where you will find the land that has made this bullet." She said. After that Both Godzilla and Junior had left, and headed straight for the entrance of the Emishi village. At the entrance was Ashitaka, Kaya and the old man named Jin. " I see that you two will be leaving?" Ashitaka asked. " Yes. In order to find what is going on, we have to head north and put a stop to what is happening there!" Junior said with determination. Kaya smiled at Junior's bravery and courage, she gave him a large bag which was filled with food. " In that case, you'll be need ing this. It's incase you two get hungry along the way." With that she gave Junior a hug and kissed him on his scaly cheek. Which caught him and his father by surprise. " Take care of yourselves ok." She said. Junior's face started blushing a dark shade of green, smiling silly and rubbed the back of head. Ashitaka approached Godzilla with something in his hand. " I can't thank you enough for helping me taking care of that demon, so I give you this as a token for my gratitude." Ashitaka had given Godzilla a sword which was a big shocker for him.
He grabbed the blade and pulled it out of it's sheath, it shined withen the moonlight. The blade was a samurai katana, that looked like it was made by the gods for him. " I...I don't know what to say, but thank you Ashitaka. This is the first time in my life that a human such as yourself had given me a fine blade." He said sheathing the sword again. Ashitaka smiled and stretched his arm out, Godzilla looked at him confused but took his arm anyway. They clamped eachothers arms and gave a ferm squezz, as a sign of brothers.
Jin walked up to them. " I know that it is our tradition for people to never come back to our village, but with what you two did we'll make an exception. You two can comeback here anytime you want." He said smiling at them. Both Godzilla and Junior smiled back and bowed. Then both king and prince had left the village to begin their journey.
