-chapter 3 - New Family - Part 2

-Staten Island - Tatopoulos' lab

At Staten Island the Tatopoulos' lab recovery crews were handling the damage caused by the military strike on Godzilla Jr. It was a mess... and not just the locale but the members of Nick's were in a depressing funk since Godzilla's apparent death.

The African American news reporter on the lab's tube was summerizing the battle had taken place last night. "This new Godzilla not quite fully grown was quickly destroyed by the US military however there are new reports of yet another creature wreaking havoc off the shores of J...'' The tube was then muted before the reporter could finish saying Jamaica.

"That should've been me on the 6 o'clock news!" The blonde complained over the idea of her story not being aired.

Animal however added his dry witted two cents to that. "Yeah well its kinda hard to get yer stuff on the air (yells at the near soldier's face) when a bunch a stormtroopers grab yer camera and trample yer first amendment rights!"

"You had no right calling Major Hicks that creature wasn't a threat to anybody." Nick said harshly accusing the blonde of calling the Major.

Stunned at the allegations her boyfriend said to her Audrey was almost speechless... almost mind you. ''Ah you think I'd actually... "

And a just as stunned Animal jumped in to stand up for her. ''Hey, hey, hey, we didn't even see Godzilla ok until like two seconds before the cavalry showed up.''

Annoyed at this bit of news Nick still wanted answers. ''If you didn't call Hicks who did?"

Audrey however had her own ideas... involving the redheaded paleontologist. "Maybe yer little girlfriend didn't think you could keep Godzilla under control?''

"What's the matter news twinkie? Can't handle a little competition?" Elsie retorted ready with witty one-liner comebacks of her own.

"Alright catfight!" Randy cheered awaiting just that.

"Shut up!'' The likes of Elsie, Lucy and Audrey half yell at him... shutting him up.

An angry Hicks waltzed in through the doors... It was clear the two Tatopoulos' were going to be given a real royal chewing out by him. "You two and I talk NOW!''

Knowing they'd be in for it they reluctantly followed him out to the roof. As they trio walked Hicks had to give his side of it. "I know what you're thinking how could I just destroy the scientific find of the century?"

"Baby wasn't hurting anyone... remind me not to ask about military training now.'' Lucy huffed out refusing to even look at Hicks eye to eye.

"Lucy's right the insight we could've obtained from that creature was immeasurable." Nick argued.

"You think I didn't consider that!? But I also had to consider how many lives that insight might cost. Go back to scooping up worms you two it'll be a lot safer for everyone.'' Hicks argued back on his take. He had a valid point as did Nick... but ultimately Lucy chose to side with Nick.

"I still agree with Nick... wait a second Hicks yer not arresting us as in throwing in the slammer or the big house?'' The nerdette questioned the military official just that.
Usually when pick a fight with the military you'd get thrown in there.

"You both dissapointed?" He asked in a lighter toned voice.

-later that night

Later during the night as the crickets chirped away their song the likes of Nicks blue Jeep pulled up to the building as Nick was taking some boxed supplies from the jeep and and handed them to Randy. "Any luck outing our Benedict Arnold?" Nick asked the two.

"Nope tell it to 'im Randy." Lucy said shaking her head slightly.

"Well Luce and I hacked into Hicks phone records... the call was untracable." Randy explained sadly which meant the group was still no closer to finding out who was the internal snitch.

"Ta-da Craven and I are ready for Jamaica." Elsie said waving the tickets like they were 1000 dollar bills.

"Uh I got my flu shots (sneezes)." Craven added as he sneezed yet again.

"Yet you still sneeze... shameful." Luce commented on his continued sickness.

Getting serious again the redheaded woman gave her plan to Nick. "If there is another creature down we'll be on top of it.''

"Fine Randy, Lucy and I will join you as soon as possible.'' Nick replied to her when the likes of Jiro let out a loud woof sound.

"Can't forget you boy. Yer coming too." Lucy said patting him on his furry head.

-lab -inside

As Randy walked out the lift he heard typing... he snuck up behind the intruder set the boxes down and ran at them. Randy grabbed them by the shoulders hoping to get them off the PC but the stranger went to typing only to be grabbed under the arms by Nick. "This a private party?" He asked.

The stranger threw him off her too only to be ensnared by the rosette's vector arms. "Not anymore... take that you dirty rat.'' Then the girl using her other normal hands switched on the lights... revealing a slender woman in tight jeans, a midriff showing lavender t, and pleather jacket. "Ah-ha sweet." Randy said lightening up the intruders pretty looks.

Glowering at her Lucy wanted immediate answers while Jiro growled at her warning her not to try anything... if she did she'd need a tetanus shot. "Who the heck are you hmm? What's yer business on private property!?''

"If you set me down I'll tell you... (Lucy just drops her) Rude child!" The woman said giving Nick her card which read ''Chargeures Property and Casualty Insurance''. "Monique Dupre I believe you are familiar with my associates in the insurance game?" Monique said introducing herself.

Nick was immediately getting suspcious of the woman. "Have you and your French Secret Service pals been shadowing us the whole time?"

Annoyed Nick and Lucy walked out the doors and out onto the overlooking roof. Randy fogured two and two together and had to add his two cents. "Yer a spy? Cool.''

Walking out onto the roof with Nick Monique explained her orders more thoroughly. "We did what we felt was necessary.'' However the two Tatopoulos' then realized something... it was clear there wasn't any traitor at the lab Monique was the one who called Hicks and snuffed out Jr. "You... you bitch you mutant killing bitch c'mere! I oughtta wring yer head off!'' Lucy cursed as she ensnared Monique again... and the French woman knew she might be in trouble. However she had been in more dangerous situations than this and she kept a level head through it.

"Put me down if you fools had did your job properly that creature had never have been born.'' Monique hissed struggling to free herself but her efforts were in vain since the teenager just kept up her grip strong and not faltering.

"Baby wasn't dangerous to anyone! He's just territorial." The rosette ranted to the French spy.

"What gives you the right to... '' Nick tried to say but Monique cut him off.

"And now the moral debate begins... you will put me down so we might postpone until we have dispensed with the latest mutation?" Monique suggested... Lucy sadly had to agree with the service agent time was of the essence in Jamaica there wasn't any time to argue about Godzilla's apparent death and who pulled the trigger so to speak.

"Fine... here enjoy the fall season.'' Lucy said as her lips curled into a smile with what would be best described as smirk-esqe qualities. The scarlet eyed teenager then dropped the secret agent onto the floor... hard.

As soon as she picked herself up she felt something smack her upside the back of her head. "Rude child." The French woman muttered as she took out from her jacket a somewhat blurry black and white photo showing some type of multi-armed sea animal. They were too blurry to tell if the mutant was an octopus, squid, worm or even something else entirely.

''Oh-no I'm done cleaning up after your government." Nick sternly said not even wanting anything to do with Monique much less go anywhere.

Finding the scientists attitude a bit admirable for an American and she had to explain it. ''Your angst is almost European but please join me in how do you say (snaps fingers) the big picture? I can provide you with state of art research vessel, as well as weaponry, and eh (clears throat) protection." Again Monique had a good point... there was a big picture and this was the entire planet was suffering from nuke poisoning, deforestation, chemical contaminants, and of course global warming could lead to the rise of more mutant monsters.

Watching from the doorway Randy was eavsdropping on the three and just had to comment. ''Don't about you jefe but I feel safer already."

"We leave first thing in the morning and (points thumb at himself) I'm in charge." Nick asserted right off the bat.

-Jamaica

Meanwhile the next morning back in Jamaica the likes of Elsie and the sickly Craven were investigating a large glob of the strange tar that had washed up on the beach. A few others were in the vicinity of the one the pair of scientists along the shoreline... Elsie was using a pronged hammer to poke into the eboby hued blob. Apparently she was trying to get a sample for NIGEL as she dropped the tiny bit of the into one of the robots sampling jars. "Intiializing analytical protocalls. Analyzing sample now... You wanna talk PH levels?! We got 'em low! Low! Low! So low, they're ins-ay-ay-ane!'' Once again Randy was tinkering with NIGEL's vocal software which got a giggle from the redheaded woman.

Craven was not amused however and had some 'plans' for the techie. ''Remind me to kill that teenage punk for messing with NIGEL's linguistic software.''

The redhead also brought up tar encrusted glob of the tar on her pointer... only to examine it at eye level while Craven went about touching it with his whole palm to likely ascertain any thermal qualities.

Elsie found something of interest in the stuff. "You feel that? That pulsing sentation.'' Poking into the stuff more they realized something extremely bizarre... the tar held something inside. ''Something's in here.''

Indeed something was inside the tar... which started wiggling around as something broke out. A pale green fish was inside and looked like it'd been starved for several weeks as if it hadn't been eating properly. The fish's condition caused by being trapped inside the tar gave Craven some insight and potential clues into its purpose and origins. ''It looks like this tar was draining it. But why?''

-Staten Island - Tatopoulos' lab

The quoted 'state of the art research vessel' Monique had spoke of wasn't all that great in actuality... Its white hull was rusted in various places which Nick ended up picking at. "This is state of the art?!'' Nick griped out in annoyance... this boat was on its last voyage. In short it was crap that floated.

''Beggers cannot be choosers Monsieur Tatopoulos.'' Monque added.

"That's Doctor Tatopoulos. Lucy what do you think?" The doctor asked his adoptive daughter hopping on deck from the ladder.

Lucy was quick to answer him. "It's a total POS that's what I think... looks more to me like its dying a slow death of rust. Look this is just a fatty piece of crap that floats! Of all the nerve! Oh one last thing Monique I didn't recall actually ever begging for anything from you.''

As the four walked around the interior and cabin area. The area was somewhat spacious however with numerous equipment like sonar, radar and communications array. As they drunk in the look of their new research boat Randy just had to say something. ''Yeah a few one sheets, some chips, a cooler and we're good to go.''

"Ahoy matey! Permission to board.'' As the destinctive voice of Animal and Audrey who had likely followed the four into the boat.

As the blonde looked around herself at the crappy boat Nick had started to use she couldn't help but add her two cents. "Nice wreak what's it called?"

As Animal tried to film Audrey the French woman took a grab at it not wanting any filming much like Phillipe had done. "Off limits!''

"How come everybody keeps doin' that?" Animal said quietly clutching his camera close to him.

"You wanna tell me why Craven and that redhead Cupie-doll booked a flight to Jamaica?'' Audrey demanded wanting immediate answers on the two scientist's in question.

"Hey how'd you figure... " Lucy tried to answer but was again cut off by the blonde.

"I have my sources." She replied using a defacto reporter excuse. "They find anything yet?'' She asked again.

"Classified." Monique said giving yet another defacto military excuse.

This got on the blonde woman's nerves. First Elsie mouths off to her now this new chick does the same. "How many girlfriends you need to do your talking for you Nicky?"

"Two too many... " The pink haired teenager muttered facepalming. "Lord gimme strength." A bark by Jiro snapped her out of her thoughts.

"I cannot believe you're letting a child come on this dangerous mission much less her dog come along too... (sighs/mutters) American fools OUCH!" Monique started in her condescending French secret service tone... the one where she sounds like a more superior human being only to be smacked upside her head by the girl's invisable vector arms. "Rude child."

"Look Monique I'm a big girl I can handle myself down there. Furthermore where Nick goes I follow and where I go Jiro comes besides its nice to have a guard dog around.'' Lucy explained in her own haughty sounding tone of voice.

-Jamaica

Back in Jamaica things were getting still more strange as if they weren't strange enough as is to begin with but something was at work in the waters around the the tropical island paradise turning it into a nightmarish hell. Elsie was going over the data the two had accumulated so far. "The data suggests that while draining the fish's electrolytes the tar was also keeping it alive."

This was of particular concern since whatever was making the stuff had a very gruesome way of feeding on its victims. ''Why would it do that?'' Craven asked the redhead. As NIGEL floated on the water's surface using a specialized floation system a device on the ventral side of the float extended from a cable. Somekind of creature sped past it causing to wobble everywhere.

-New York Harbor

Meanwhile back in the likes of the US the likes of Nick's crew headed towards the likes of Lady Liberty through New York Harbor the boat chugged along at a steady rate... to which Nick complained. "Any chance of hitting Montego Bay by the turn of the next century?

"I'm sorry captain but the warp drive cannot take anymore.'' Randy said doing a reasonable impression of the Star Trek character 'Scottie' as he steered the boat. In any case the boat was going as fast as it could.

Monique had an inkling on what to do... she turned a dial on the ceiling which revealed a secret panel. The panel folded back as a secret keypad and control stick appeared in its place. The French woman pulled it back as hidden hydrofoils appeared and the vessel sped out of the harbor and passed one of the many bridges that connected the five boroughs of New York City. Randy however was impressed. ''Heh-heh nice thrust.''

Outside on the very edge pf the starboard bow section Lucy and Jiro looked back as they saw they were headed for Jamaica... and whatever dangers that were reaping chaos there. They had to be stopped no matter the cost. As the wind from the speeding boat blew her pink locks everywhere she just drunk the fresh sea air, then suddenly Lucy's cel rang and she answered it. ''How goes it?''

-Jamaica

On the other line Elsie answered the rosette's question. The fish from the tar blob was laying dead on the seats of the pair's research ship. ''Well we analyzed the tar, amino acids reading right off the charts and the fish we found trapped inside completely drained of electrolytes.''

-New York Harbor

"Sounds to me like the tar is like a external digestive process." Lucy surmised over her phone.

-Jamaica

"Exactly we were thinking more like an external stomach. Once the food is digested the tar is probably reabsorbed back into the predator's body.'' The redheaded scientist further elaborated.

-New York Harbor

"Just what kinda critter are we dealing with here?" Lucy asked when she suddenly heard Elsie scream on the other side.

-Jamaica

The cause of Elsie's screaming was plainly simple... huge tentacles from either a squid, a cuttlefish or octopus were attacking the pair in their boat. Elsie tried climbing to the top of the boats cabin but it did little good.

-New York Harbor

"Else! NICKKKK!'' Lucy screamed as Nick raced to the deck and saw his adoptive child in a panicked state. "Nick something's happened to Elsie and Mendel! We gotta get down there as fast as we can!

-Jamaica

The redheaded scientist dropped her phone on the deck as the crazed cephalopods... they were huge squids with a pale muted lavender hued skin which oozed tar. One managed to get aboard the ship as others appeared from out of nowhere as they began attacking the two scientists. Craven and Elsie tried to fend them off but the creatures just tore them from their hands as well as biting down on them with their four pronged beaks... next NIGEL was dragged under immediately upsetting the sickly scientist. "NIGEL!''

But there wasn't any time to mourn him as the unholy beasts ensnared Elsie and before he knew it the beasts ensnared Craven too! The creatures using their powerful arms ripped off bits of the boat as it was forcibly dragged deep beneath the waves along with the likes of the redhead and Dr. Craven and soon some buoyant debris made its way to the surface... in its case a life saver hoop, a pole, a detergant bottle, Elsie's phone, and a cooler.

-that night

By the time Nick and the others had arrived at the tropical waters of Jamaica there was hardly anything left... aside from a few pieces of flotsam and jetsam there was almost nothing. No traces of any boat were left. Monique's handmedown boat used its searchlights to look for anything or any clues as to what happened there earlier. A feeling of dread hung over the likes of the two Tatopoulos' and Randy too was worried. "Creepy I think so.''

"Nick I'm getting a nasty case of the heebie jeebies right about now... " The bespectacled teenager said looking over the tar streaked water as the boat chugged through to shore. Jiro somehow happened to agree by letting out a depressing whine. He looked to his master and somehow knew by her body language this was serious.

Nick then happened to notice something. ''Swing us starboard." He called out to Monique as he picked up Elsie's floating phone which dripped off tar dribblets. It wasn't a very pretty or encouraging sight. "Elsie... "

-Montego Bay Police Hall

Things were getting white hot at the city's police hall. The mayor and the police force tried to keep the visiting tourists as well as local natives calm through the frankly escalating crisis. ''We are doing everything in our power please remain calm.'' The police capain explained to the large crowd that seemed ready to mob the hall.

It did little good as the crowd was infuriated further. Meanwhile Nick was trying his luck on negotiating with the local ambassador. ''There must be something you can do Mr. Ambassador. We're talking about American citizens."

"You have to... we need to find them please... " The bespectacled teen pleaded with him.

That didn't go very well with him however. It seemed the big man had far too much on his plate so to speak. ''We're doing everything we can Doctor Tatopoulos but this still a local problem.''

-a bit later

As the two trudged back to the boat they were at a loss at what to do and frankly Lucy was extremely upset by it. "Pompous ignorant bowl of jello he'll be the death of this entire town."

Nick and the teen girl hopped back on deck while the sercret service agent was cleaning the harpoon gun array. "I told you two it would be a waste of time.'' Monique replied in her true to form half mocking toned voice. Lucy seriously thought the woman loved the sound of her own voice but not only that but being right everytime as well.

This hit a nerve with the two and Nick let her have it. ''Get this through yer head those're my people out there and I'm not resting til I find them!'' Nick fumed to the French woman.

Suddenly Nick was loudly, abruptly, as well as suddenly interrupted by Randy's shouting. "Ding ding ding we have a winnah! I locked onto NIGEL's distress signal, once I pinpoint the little bot I should be able to retrieve him.''

Soon they were doing just that using a retractable winch and cable system they fished NIGEL back up to the surface. As NIGEL got close to the surface bubbles appeared. "Look!'' Nick called to everyone as the exploration robot finally surfaced but what had stowed away truly horrified them... the group saw two tar encrusted forms stuck to it. It horrified Nick because it was Elsie and Craven. He checked the redhead's pulse then Craven's and made a shocking discovery. ''They're alive.''

"Are you sure Nick... I mean that's good but just how injured are they?" Lucy asked getting a little worried.

-boat's research lab

Onboard the ship's research lab the likes of the two Tatopoulos' worked to remove the strange tar from their friends bodies. "Subjects remain unconsious. Attempting to break down the tar's enzymes with an alkali solution. Lucy could you fetch the solution on the burner please?'' Nick went on into his headset as the teen went using her tongs to lift the red hued chemical off the burner. She'd picked up a lot being with Nick all these years... in a number of scientific fields ranging from chemistry, to mathematics, biology, and radiology.

Lucy then took a large cylindrical bottle from a nearby shelf as she then poured the red solution into it. Nick took that and poured into a another container with a spraying nozzle which gave the lever a few pumps. "Although the tar seems to've kept them alive the subjects appear dessicated (sprays off Craven then Elsie) as if electrolytes and blood sugars have been drained.''

Craven quickly came too and in full panic mode. "Squids! Get 'em off! Get 'em off!"

Elsie awoke next and coughed out a bit of the tar still in her throat. Nick went about calming her down. ''It's over it's over you're safe now.''

-meanwhile

Meanwhile driving in their jeep along the winding roads that encircled the islands cliffs the likes of Animal and Audrey were also investigating the goings on in Jamaica and as usual Animal complained. "I could be at home enjoying my wife's pasta fazul but NO you drag me down here to hunt monsters!''

"Credit card records don't lie Animal Craven and Chapman flew down here and rented a boat in this village, they found something big I can smell it." The blonde proudly claimed.

Not to far from the cliffside road the ship being used by Nick and the others was slowing to a stop in a small yet deep inlet ... Nick was going over the situation with the newly revived pair of scientists which frankly shocked Craven. ''That tar was eating us?"

"Paradoxically while also keeping you alive and the whole time it was draining away the nutrients from your blood." Nick explained.

"Very grizzly if ya ask me even worse than than how Hemipteran insects eat... Huh? What's that?" Lucy commented but then heard something... coming from the ship's propeller system.

More of the tar stuck to it clogging it and slowing down and as Monique and Randy peered over the deck one of the squids appeared much to the techie's uber shock. "That is some serious scrunchalini (thats the best I could hear)."

The creature used its tentacles to try and hoist itself up on deck but the service agent had other plans. "Down." She instructed Randy. The gun on deck launched a fast moving bolo and weighting device which ensnared the creature and Randy pushed it into the angry waves.

Randy couldn't help but congratulate himself. "I am so good."

"I would not celebrate just yet." Monique said cooly keeping a surprisingly level head through the crisis. Most would've cracked under pressure seeing so many of the giant mutant creatures since more and more kept popping up. "Inside." Monique half ordered signalling a retreat was in order as the pair fought off the mutant beast's tentacles with long oars.

Nick happened to open the door wondering just what the hell was going on. "What's going (Monique hits him in the gut with an oar) Ahhh!"

Closing the door and locking it Monique they were all trapped like rats in a cage and once Elsie saw her she immediately disliked her. "I dunno who she is but I hate her al... " Elsie's rant was interrupted by the clunky wrenching sound of tearing metal. The squids were tearing the door off by sheer force! If they got into the cabin lab it was all over. Then they burst through and ripped the heavy door off and began to go after the treats inside the shell.

"Not again... " Craven whimpered not liking where this was headed.

"Is there another way AHHH!" Nick tried to say but was ensnared by one of the tentacles only Lucy tried to grab him.

"Nick hold on! WHOH!'' Lucy called but then she was entangled too so Jiro tried to bite down on her white jacket and tried pulling her back only for that to backfire.

He was caught too! "BOOF!"

As the three were flailed around by the multi-armed beasts Nick caught sight of the creature four pronged beak which snapped impatiently at its next meal. Lucy by this point was pissed and had had enough of this. These things would let her go or they'd regret it. "Ya wanna piece of me huh?! Put us down you poor excuse for escargo! Here deal with this!''

Using her vectors she hacked through the arms that entangled her. The creatures wailed out in pain as their arm tips were being hacked and torn off. Using them some more she hacked Jiro safely away but Nick was still in trouble.

Suddenly before she could act numerous more squids appeared around the ship. "Oh crap... " Lucy said gulping at seeing the vast army of squids staring at her from the waves.

-begin King of Monsters by Keith Emerson

Then just as suddenly the squids were yanked under by some unknown force as Nick then caught Nick in her arms... the force revealed itself as Godzilla! He'd survived the army strike and followed the ship all the way to the island of Jamaica. He had the squid in his mouth and heaved it aside.

"Godzilla you're alive." Nick said totally astonished by the development.

"Baby!" Lucy called out in just as much shock yet still calling him 'Baby' despite not being one anymore.

Godzilla had two more mega sized mutant squids in his clawed 'hands' and speeding along the road and stopping at the docks was Audrey and Animal. "You getting this Animal?" Audrey asked as she saw Godzilla throw the squids far from himself.

"No I'm workin' on my suntan!'' Animal complained from the frankly obvious question.

"Whoo yes!" Randy hooted out cheering on the lizard king.

However more of the squids ganged up on Godzilla and extended their numerous tentacles in an attempt to drag him under the waves then they did finally. The sudden dragging caused a massive waves that spilled over the ship's deck soaking everybody. Then there was silence no Godzilla no nothing as the waters calmed again.

Then Jr. reappeared as several of the squids were clinging to him by use of their suckers. Godzilla's fins lit up as he picked off the squids in his clawed hands let loose his fire breath and really fire roasted those suckers.

"Wahoo! Fried calamari!" Randy cheered out in Godzilla's victory.

"One of my favorate seafoods!" Lucy chimed in as Godzilla went back under the waves.

Monique was positively dumbfounded. "I don't believe it that thing saved our lives."

"Lucky it doesn't hold a grudge." Nick pointed out.

"Baby loves his daddy and mama... What!?" Lucy huffed out as everyone stared at her yet again.

-shortly

Shortly on shore the carcasses of the squids washed up onto shore their bodies still oozing the black tar which stained the beach waters an ugly black.
Elsie was however confused by Godzilla's somewhat 'protective' actions of Nick and Lucy. "So it survives an airstrike and it swims 15 hundred miles just to save our sorry butts?"

Nick was prepared with his comeback. "Loyalty."

As Nick and the team walked to examine the relatively intact mutant squid specimans he voiced his views on the bizarre beasts. "Squids this size have never been seen before only speculated upon.'' Lucy scraped a few skin samples from them for study while Randy hopped atop one just being a goof. "They must be deepwater dwellers."

"Then what brought them to the surface?" Elsie asked him.

Randy then hopped off the carcass and near tackled Nick. "I'm guessin by someone lean, mean and oh so green."

"Something phony about this... I feel like we're missing a big clue here. Not all of the squids are charred... they look dare I say mummified like something was draining them." Lucy theorized.

This got Craven worried then again when wasn't he worried? "Meaning Godzilla didn't do this?''

"Just like the fish we found in the tar." Elsie realized.

"Sounds to me like the squids aren't the alpha creature we thought they were... looks like we've stumbled onto the prey of an even larger predatory mutant." Lucy theorized as she used a geiger counter on the squids strangely there was a decent of amount coming off the dead cephalopods.

"Radiation?" The redheaded scientist said aloud... this investigation was getting stranger and stranger by the hour.

In order for the quids to be that radioactive they must've been in contact with something big... very big mind you. Randy decided to ask if he could summerize the group's explanation. "So let get this straight these mutant squid things use this tar gunk to break down their food and now something else is sucking them dry?"

''Any theories Dr. Tatopoulos?" The voice of Audrey asked as she and Animal made their way down the beach.

"Audrey... what are you doing here?" Lucy asked the blonde.

"My job. Miss me?" She asked in a flirtatious tone of voice.

"Can you say abandonment issues?" Animal offered sarcastically.

Disgusted by this Elsie let out an annoyed sound best described as 'nyuh' and walked away. However Monique wanted to leave for her own safety. "You must leave it is too dangerous.''

Audrey was prepared however with a comeback. ''More dangerous than a cab ride through Godzilla's mouth? Been there done that."

"Ditto." Lucy piped up.

"There is no telling what sort of predator is feeding off these squid." Monique reiterated still trying to get her to go away.

Suddenly all eyes were on the sea for just beyond shore something big was coming up... and big as in Godzilla sized. "What is that?" A very worried Audrey asked hardly wanting an answer. The unseen behemoth speedily arose from the depths and boy was it ugly.

"I'm guessing we found our predator." Nick added.

"Make that the Crustaceous Rex! He just found us! RUN!'' Lucy hollered as she dove for cover away from the creature's massive legs.

The massive creature roared out at the frankly puny looking things below it as for appearances Crustaceous Rex had an off green skin colored body which was supported by two thick legs ending in four claws. His body bore a set of tentacles used likely for entangling food. Its hard shelled back was covered by spikes while its mouth opened like a grotesque looking four petaled flower.

As C. Rex moved its left leg forward it kicked up massive amounts of wet sand. "Down! Down! Down!" Nick ordered out as they dove for cover. Animal just kept up his filming as the massive mutant creature snatched up one of the charred squids then spit it out apparently not liking the taste.

"What's his issue?" Randy questioned the beast's bad manners.

Audrey offered her two cents to the situation. "I think he's weaning off seafood.''

However Nick knew the reason why it was suddenly on shore and spitting out the squids. "It followed the squids to the surface and now Godzilla's burned up its food supply. This batch isn't even a snack."

C. Rex then walked along and looked towards town and waltzed towards it as Monique using a nearby red motorbike decided to give chase. ''We must stop this thing unless the both of you plan to adopt it.''

Grabbing a helmet for himself Nick just gave the order. "Shut up and drive.''

"Wait for me! Yer not leaving me behind." Lucy said grabbing ahold of Nick as the three sped off in chase. Meanwhile likes of Craven, Randy, and Elsie were running up the sandy hill up to the main road.

Audrey and Animal's rental jeep cut them. "Get in!" She called out to them to do just that.

Craven however frankly didn't wanna go anywhere as he plopped down on the sand. "Couldn't we just stay here for awhile on the nice cold sand?"

"C'mon!" The redhead ranted to him getting him back to his feet.

-begin Guilty Pleasure by Becca (yes I'm the first person to put a pop-rock styled song in a Godzilla: The Series story thank you very much/Yiddish has been done already)

Meanwhile in town the emergency siren system went off signalling just that AN emergency. People ran every which way as Crustaceous Rex went about his search for suitable food to replace his tentacled prey. He towered over the town buildings, stomped on kiosks and crushed roofs. As the trio sped along Nick an idea pop into his head. "How do ya think it feels about fire?"

Zooming far ahead of the beast Monique had a plan to go with the idea. "Let us find out.''

Hitting the gas the secret service agent sped like a demon towards Crustaceous Rex's toothless gaping maw then sped away getting his attention. He roared as he gave chase to the small moving object. Sending one of his tentacles out he ensnared the bike though Monique jump flipped off it safely without a scratch. Crustaceous Rex then proceded to bite down on his catch however Monique took out her hidden flare gun and shot the projectile right into the creature's mouth blowing up the bike and nearly knocking the unholy mutation off balance.

"Oh-no he's getting pissed off!'' Lucy hollered out as she saw it had no major negative effect on Crustaceous Rex at all.

Crustaceous Rex turned to his left and continued his search for food... as he passed a road maintenance truck with its double trailer beds it caught the whiff of an unusually destinguished odor. The road itself gave off the rich scent so he extended his tentacles into the road and pulled up delicious tasting highway tar which he ate without question. Lunging at the road he impacted the fresh blacktop and siphoned up all of the tar in the asphalt portion.

Lucy and Nick took notice of this. "Crustaceous Rex is so used to feeding on the squids tar but with all the squids dead it needs something almost as good."

"Highway tar?'' Was all Monique could say at the moment. What type of living thing feeds on highway tar and asphalt?

A nearby school and student body was being evacuated while the town local military tyried shooting at the giant beast but it only seemed to enrage the creature further. While the bus drove off Crustaceous Rex tried stomping on these little pests though they just tumbled out of the way.

Meanwhile the others were catching up to err at least they trying to catch up to Mr. Crustaceous Rex himself. Randy was however his usual backseat driver self. "Drive faster we gotta get ahead of 'im!''

Though they got ahead the mutant snagged their jeep and crunched down on it while the occupants jumped ship err in thier case jumped jeep. "Everybody out!" Randy screamed as the group tumbled down the hillside nearby to the road. As the five slid down the grassy hillside they finally stopped. Animal yet again added his grumpy two cents. "Next time we rent on yer credit card.''

The likes of Crustaceous Rex then spat out the jeep junker and went back to hunting... the small creatures might do it thought when suddenly it heard the honking of a truck horn and the scent of tasty highway tar. It drove along and the mutant decided it would follow this large buffet table on wheels.

As Nick drove the vehicle he called to the mega sized mutation. "That's right got some nice hot tar for ya.''

"Yeah c'mon big boy y'know ya want it c'mon! Come get it!" Lucy called out from the shotgun position.

Nick kept the vehicle moving as he drove to shore and the giant shelled beast followed unaware it was being tricked and a plan was being hatched to defeat it. As they pulled away Randy saw just how well Monique worked with Nick. "They make a nice couple (Audrey pushes him) wow I meant team I meant team!" He added quickly realizing he made a goofup.

Nick finally stopped the truck along the pier overlooking the tropical waters of the island. Crustaceous Rex then used his boneless arms to lift up the second tar filled trailerbed. The high angle of his lifting snapped the hitch holding the trailers together. He then ate the trailer tar and all and proceeded to do the same with the other. Nick, Lucy and Monique scrambled to get out of the thing fast enough so they weren't eaten along with the vehicle.

But just as Crustaceous Rex was about to dine on the last trailer he was interrupted by Godzilla roaring at him as if saying ''Come get me punk!''. As the two giant mutations charged at each they circled around one another trying to size the other up. Godzilla threw a downward clawed hook but the attack was inneffective as Crustaceous Rex dodged out of the way. Crustaceous Rex used his tentacles to wrap around Godzilla's legs and drag him under then Crustaceous Rex jumped and pounced on him by diving under himself.

By now the likes of everyone was watching and Animal filmed it. He then placed a wager. "I got a hundred bucks on the walking crabcake."

"I bet three hundred on Baby." Lucy said offering her own wager.

"Fine you'd better pay up kid." Animal though the kid was crazy but three hundred was quite a bit he could spend so he took and ran with it.

Both monsters erupted from the waves both fighting tooth and nail to dominate the other... Crustaceous Rex had his numerous tentacles wrapped around Godzilla's upper body and the crabby mutant threw the lizard under the waves. Godzilla's arm however shot back out of the water and pulled Crustaceous Rex back under as if saying ''I ain't done with yet!''.

The wave of water soaked everyone as the two mutants kept up their brawl with Godzilla trying to bite down on and crunch through Crustaceous Rex' hard shell. Godzilla managed to dunk Crustaceous Rex only for him to come back up even more pissed than before. He spewed out a large blast of what seemed to be tar or possibly ink in Godzill'a face blinding him. Crustaceous Rex then used his left leg to club Godzilla's legs out from under him and into deeper water.

And with his rival gone the mutant crustation then proceeded to walk towards the nearby mountain along the harbor edge. By this time a US military chopper had touched down just in front of everybody. And guess who was coming to the party? Major Hicks of course and he was frankly shocked to see the two Tatopoulos' there. "The Tatopoulos'... " The Major tried to say but was interrupted by the foot shuffling of Crustaceous Rex.

Crustaceous Rex then went about walking onto the shoreline again and stomped through the oceanview parking lot all the while everyone dove for cover to avoid getting stepped on. Hicks then finally spoke his mind. "The news reports were right. Where'd that thing come from anyway?"

Helping Hicks to his feet Lucy explained the whole thing. ''Where else? The same place as Godzilla Sr and frankly it's the big tip of an even bigger iceberg."

Crustaceous Rex went back into terorizing the town and continued looking for food. More people ran in terror of the monster when suddenly the big crabcake was hit in the back by a large massive rock which broke into pieces upon impact. This only riled up Crustaceous Rex. He saw his attacker... It was Godzilla again. Rooaring he stepped up to fight his rival on the top of the tall bluff. Godzilla turned tail and burrowed beneath his foe digging through the moutain rock. This only confused Hicks to no end. "What's it doing?"

"He's tunneled all over that ridge its unstable." Nick pointed out as Godzilla burrowed back towards his enemy. He burst out of the ground ready to face Crustaceous Rex but the cliff face started crumbling away and taking the mutant crab creature with it. However Crustaceous Rex wouldn't go down alone he ensnared Godzilla arms via tentacle intending to take the lizard with him to the grave. Godzilla struggled to keep himself upright so it was time to decide who was going to lose this fight. Godzilla unleashed his green fire breath upon the tentacles in question and burn right through them.

Crustaceous Rex then fell to his apparent demise as the cliffside collapsed on top of him essentially burying him under tons of rocky rubble however the victory was short lived as the rest of the hill collapsed taking Godzilla with it and burying him too. Hicks was overjoyed by the development. ''Ha two monsters for the price of one."

''That monster just sacrificed itself for us Major." Nick fumed at the military man but Lucy's girly squeal told him something else was up.

''Ooh-ooh-ooh Nick look!" The bespectacled teen squealed out.

Godzilla burst from his supposedly 'final' prison and roared in victory over defeating Crustaceous Rex. ''I'll be wanting that 300 bucks you owe me Animal." Lucy said in sing-song styled voice.

Breaking the joyous mood three other choppers zoomed over to the creature awaiting orders from Hicks. Godzilla leapt into the water and dove and kept swimming. One of the chopper pilots wited on his oreder to fire. "Target acquired and locked on.''

"On my signal." Hicks said but was interupted by Nick again who grabbed the phone away.

"No you can't!" He pleaded.

"I have my orders!" Hicks spat pushing the scientist back.

"Hicks don't you want at least one of these mutants on our side hmm?!" Lucy fumed out.

Hicks was adament about his orders. ''Don't make this any harder than it needs to be.'' This cued Nick and Lucy's pained expression.

Godzilla kept diving down to deep murky depths of the local waters of Jamaica where he saw the tar embalmed wreaks along with the other things that were taken by the squids and and Crustaceous Rex. He nudged one with his snout pushing it upwards and it started floating to the surface. Then he did the same to another ship and strangely he swam around in large circles creating a huge whirlpool that started sucking up everything the enemy creatures had abducted... including the missing people too.

Back on the surface Hicks was waiting for the mutant lizard to show himself. "On my signal... !'' He was in shock as numerous wreaks started popping up on the surface along with huge amounts of tar plus people that were abducted.

Nick and Lucy were impressed. "Whoa." They both said at once. Godzilla returned to the hillside awaiting the chopper's next move roaring at them. One of the pilots relaid to Hicks. "Requesting permission to fire on Godzilla."

"Hicks get it through yer thick head he is the only defense we have against any and all the other mutantions that come popping outta the woodwork. Please what choice do we have?" Lucy pleaded and tried reasoning with the man.

Taking the teenage girl's words to mind Hicks decided not to take out Godzilla. "Godzilla is dead."

"Sir?" The pilot asked thinking he heard wrong from the Major.

''Repeat Godzilla is dead. Is that clear?" Hick repeated stating his orders again.

''Yes sir roger that." The pilot said as he and the others flew off leaving Godzilla be.

Nick thanked Hicks for allowing Godzillz to live. ''Thank you Major Hicks."

The Major wasn't exactly pleased with himself however. "Don't make me regret this." As the group watched Godzilla head back into deep water they all breathed a sigh of relief.

-Staten Island - Tatopoulos' lab

Back at the lab it was nightfall by the time everyone returned. The tube was showing the news report of the attack on Jamaica. Sailors used the alkali colution to get the tar off from the victims. Audrey's voice could be heard on the report. "And so another monstrocity was destroyed by the US armed forces with no loss of life. This is Audrey Timmonds reporting from Jamaica.''

"Thanks Audrey for keeping Baby outta the spotlight." Lucy hugging the blonde like the makeshift mother figure she was to the girl.

"It saved our lives I guess I owed it that much." The blonde admitted.

Yet again Animal complained about the event. ''And all it cost me was an Emmy! Not that I am bitter.''

Craven then blew his nose again. "I'm just glad its over."

"Over? Just be thankful that whatever we have to face in the future we won't be facing it alone." Nick said looking out the window.

"I wonder what wierd sorts of monsters we'll be mopping the floor with? Mutant coral? Pirahnas? Spiders? Who knows." Lucy said looking out the window with her adoptive father.

Meanwhile outside in the water Godzilla poked his head out, looked around then roared.
