Hello everyone! Welcome to chapter 3. I wish to warn some people about what is to come in this stroy...
First: if you don't like the idea of Godzilla being around people alot i would suggest that you do not continue reading this stroy.
Second: most of the human characters will seem a bit OOC but when you think about it they have been fighting gods (which look like huge animals) for many years so Godzilla will be no true surprise to them. &, considering that i'm giving Godzilla a more human side, they would would take more kindly to someone who didn't try to bite or stab them.
Just thought i'd let you know that. Enjoy!

Chapter Three: The Massacre & Moro's Scar
Godzilla & Little left the village that night & started their long journey. Whilst traveling, they noticed how the landscape was all land & rivers & how it was so beautify clean, three days later, they approached a field where some sort of battle was taking place though it was a massacre, by the look of it, warriors in samurai outfits where killing villagers in their own village, Godzilla wondered if they were this, Emperor Asano's, men.
The two were so shocked that they didn't even notice until the last second that a group of men noticed them "look! over there, monsters" one screamed "good! their heads are mine!" another screamed as they started to shoot arose at them so the two monsters ran but luckily the arrows missed, Little noticed that mile away in front of them a woman was about to be cut in two "you! Stop!" he roared & he shot an atomic bubble at the warrior that exploded on impact, sending him flying into the trees.
"Well done, my son!" Godzilla complemented but then a warrior stood in front of them. They stopped "let us pass, I'm warning you!" said Godzilla, the warrior didn't reply, all he did was fire an arrow at them, which misted. & Godzilla fired his atomic breath at him; it reduced him to a skeleton. & the two then ran into the forest away from the madness "demons!" one warrior said looking over his fallen comrade.
Later that day the two got to another little village, where it was mostly shops. Godzilla smelt fish & got some form a fish seller. Whilst they were there everyone stop what they were doing & watch Godzilla & Little with curious eyes, Godzilla paid with a big piece of gold that he had found in a river along the way & everyone started to fight for it as soon as they walked away. whilst they were there, they had also gotten the attention of Jigo Bou, a wandering monk, who was rather interested in them & was not afraid of them.
He ran up to Godzilla & he started talking to Godzilla "I see you a man…or thing of short world, I understand but are you even going to thank me?" he asked after Godzilla didn't reply as he spoke "thank you for what exactly?" asked Godzilla, he knew what type of man Jigo was & didn't like talking to those type of men "well…I'm about to offer you shelter at my place. you two seem tired & want some rest" he said with a smile "we'd love to!" said Little quickly before his father could even say anything.
Later, Godzilla explained who they were, why they had come here. Jigo kept a serious face as he explained "so the demon turned out to be a giant boar" he said after Godzilla had finished "yes. Me & my son are traveling westward to find out what caused its transformation, that's when we came across the village" said Godzilla as he took a bite into his fish "see this place here?" said Jigo, pointing behind him, Godzilla & Little looked & saw what appeared to be the remains of a village.
"When I came here last, a few years back, this was a lovely little village. But then there must have been a landslide or a fire or even a flood. The only sure thing is that everyone's dead" he said "what does that have to do with our travel?" asked Little, who did not see the relevance of the destroyed village "well, these days, there are angry ghost all around us who are dead from wars, sickness or starvation & nobody cares. The whole damn world is like that so there's no point in trying to find out what happened to that boar, especially with the Emperor trying to completely control the land, but he said he'd stop & give an entire hill of gold to anyone who could make him immortal but that's unlikely to happen. Am I right?" he gloated as they were eating.
Godzilla didn't bother to reply, to him, it seemed that humans have the same intentions anywhere: to conquer other humans "have you ever come across something like this?" he only asked, as he held out the iron ball, Jigo took a good look at it "no, why?" he asked "it was extracted from the boar's body. It was what turned him into a monster" said Godzilla.
Jigo said nothing until he finished his bowl of rice.
"There's a place high in the mountains, far to the west, it's where the spirit of the forest dwelt & a dangerous place for humans. To enter there is certain death" he said "spirit of the forest?" asked Godzilla "I've been told that beasts…Gods there are all giants, just like they were since the dawn of time, & that this spirit is the Emperor & master of the Gods of the forest, the one that keeps them all in check, though I'm sure your be alright, I mean…your animals, right?" said Jigo with a chuckle, Godzilla said nothing & just continued eating his fish. At dawn, the next day, the two continued on their journey whist Jigo slept.
Somewhere far away from Godzilla & Little, another battle was about to take place. On a mountain side, villagers with oxen where carrying food & supply's back to their village, they were being led by a woman, the woman was strong & slightly thin in the waist, she also had a very strong face that showed that she was strong, bold, fearless, as if she was ready to command the very armies of hell.
"The sooner we get this rice home the sooner we eat, let's move it!" she ordered as they move through the night, then a warrior spoke "look! wolves are coming our way!" everyone looked & far away, two dark white wolves & some kind of childlike warrior was coming their way "don't let the oxen panic! Stay calm & take up your positions!" the woman ordered, trying to keep everyone from panicking, a group of men made a sort of wall & got out these primitive rifles.
"Keep your powder dry & make sure you wait till they come in range" one of the men ordered as the wolves got closer & closer "get ready &…fire" ordered the woman & the rifles made a blue spark as they made contact with the ground, they fired a maximum of six shot but they all missed & the wolves ran in a different direction, "don't let them get away, fire!" ordered the woman again, wanting the wolves to die, more shot ran out.
Godzilla & Little could hear the shots range down to the end of the mountain; they were not far away from the battle, although they didn't want to know where they were coming from "must be thunder" thought Godzilla as they continued walking.
The wolves & child kept on running until they turned around to the end of the line "second round, fire!" ordered the woman, the rifles shot again but still they missed but this time the wolves spilt up, one going left & the one with the child went right, they both went back in the same direction. They seemingly gave up "that was it? They weren't so big" said the main rifleman next to the woman "they were just pups, what till you see their mother" said the woman, expecting the mother wolf to come.
Everyone looked around waiting, watching for them or the mother to appear. Then suddenly a giant, pure white wolf appeared, it was the mother "it's Moro!" identified the woman, Moro jumped down on the line & charge at the woman, knocking two men & a oxen down the side of the mountain.
"Come on, you big ugly fur ball!" said the woman as Moro got closer & closer, knocking off another oxen, she loaded a rifle & when Moro jumped towards her with her sharp canine teeth showing…POW! The woman got her right in the chest & Moro fell off the edge, missing them completely & landing on an old tree as she fell. She disappeared into a mist which covered the bottom of the mountain.
"Ha, ha we killed her!" yelled the main rifleman "you forget she is a God, it would take more than that to kill her. But when the time comes, her head will be mine" said the woman, knowing that she's alive & announcing a vendetta on her "we should keep moving, let's go!" she ordered as the men groaned after being trampled by Moro.
Meeting Jigo & Eboshi's first apperance. if you didn't understand these in the last chapter, i'm just mirroring this with Princess Mokonoke
