Welcome to the fourth chapter of Godzilla: Age of Monsters Ep1 Dawn of a New Age. I hope you have been enjoying the last three chapters.
I only got up to three chapters in the original one before other things in my life came up and the story was lost, well now I'm ready to continue on.
A Link has been Established
Toho Institute of Science, November 10th 1996, 11:50am
As Miki touched the snout of the Gojirasaurus, he started moving his head in her palm like some sort of big scaly cat. It gave a happy chirp, clearly liking what she is doing. Miki couldn't help herself but laugh at what is happening. She turned her attention to the scientist in the room. "It's alright, I'm okay." Miki said, informing everyone that she is safe for the time being. She gave him (well she thinks he is a he) another rub on the snout. The newborn gave another happy chirp, and even started wagging its tail.
The people outside of the room are shocked that the dinosaur did not attack her. They are even in more shock that it is acting like more a playful dog than a ferocious predator. Dr. Yamane was smiling through the whole process of what was going on between the two; he could see that this was going to be the start of something precious. "This is absolutely incredible, I can't even explain what is going… does anyone know what is going on?" Dr. Minami asked his colleges. But all that he receives is silence, they too could not explain.
The Gojirasaurus started pushing Miki in a playful manner, it was clearly excited. Chirping and soft growls, it was having the time of its life with her. It was only born three minutes ago. But still, the time of its life. "Ah, stop it, please stop it…" Miki couldn't keep herself steady as she was pushed along the ground slowly.
The Gojirasaurus gave a gruff and stopped. Miki stared right at its eyes, its pure orange eyes… like that of an atomic explosion. She gasped in shock, how could she have forgotten that this 'little' guy survived what few can. She does not know what is going to happen… will it succumb to radiation poisoning or… she couldn't dare think of anything worse. She bowed her head, saddened for the Gojirasaurus's misfortune.
The Gojirasaurus sensing Miki's change of feeling gave her a slight push and soft worrying chirp. Miki looked up seeing in his eyes that he cares for her. That raised another question, why is it acting so playful and caring to her. Is it because it perceived her as its mother, like that of a baby bird? She just doesn't understand. She went to give it a pat right between his eyes. When suddenly, an intense feeling of pain flares up inside her head. She screamed in terror as white flashes started rapidly coming in her head. Memories of her past; her school years, learning in university, meeting Dr. Yamane… even memories that she thought she'd locked away appeared. She couldn't take it; it was unbearable. She wanted it to stop… no more… no more.
The Gojirasaurus bellowed in pain as well, moving back away from Miki until it fell on the floor, before it closed his eyes. He stared at Miki as she too fell to the ground, and as his vision got blurry different shapes started coming surrounding her. The Gojirasaurus then got the sensation to stand up and defend her against the shapes… but he went into slumber before he could think of anything else.
"Call security!" Dr. Yamane shouted out, running as fast as his legs could go. He came to the door and entered in the override code 1-9-9-5. The door unlocked and he rushed in the room, watching carefully at the Gojirasaurus as it fell to the ground writhing in pain, before he came to Miki's aid.
The other scientist watched in fear; the door behind them opened up and two security officers with rifles came through. A third man then came through and you could tell immediately that he is someone you do not want to mess around with.
Colonel Douglas Gordon. A high ranking military officer of the JDF Birth Island division; whatever happens on this island has to receive clearance with him. When he heard about the egg, he thought it was just a fossil, but when he saw it in front of him. He knew he had to take extra caution with it.
"What of the situation, Dr. Mafune?" Douglas asked. Dr. Mafune turns his full attention the man behind him. "Well you see Colonel it is that…" Dr. Mafune was interrupted when Dr. Yamane's voice is heard. "Do not shot at it!" Dr. Yamane said loudly. Talking clearly to the two soldiers aiming their rifles at the creature. "Sir, for your safety; we have been given the orders to fire at the creature if it is to harm anyone of your team Dr. Yamane." An officer said in the standard 'solider' voice. He then loaded his weapon, bearing down, finger on the trigger. "Stand down gentleman, situation is green; I repeat, situation green" Gordon said, as he came through. The soldiers laid down their weapon and gave him a salute. Gordon turned his attention to the Doctor and the woman in his arms. He knew right away that she was in need of help. "Get her to the infirmary Doctor, and when you are finished; you and I are to talk." Douglas told Dr. Yamane. To which Dr. Yamane nodded in agreement. Leaving the creature to rest, everyone exited out. This is to be dealt with another day.
Toho Institute of Science Infirmary, December 8th 1996, 4:10am
White ceiling… why does Miki feel like she's going to see this a lot. She rose up to see Dr. Yamane sitting next to her right. She gave him a tired smile and he gave her a bright smile.
"I was fearing that you would miss Christmas." Dr. Yamane said, using his cane to stand himself up, walking up so that he may give her a hug. Miki gladly gave one back, she was so fortunate to have a man like him. He treats her like she is his own daughter sometimes.
"How are feeling?" Dr. Yamane asked. Miki still half-asleep, looked around to see that she is in an infirmary room.
"Tired, really tired." Miki said groaning. She started stretching her arms, which were sore for being in one place. Dr. Yamane walked out the door for a moment, to come back with a nurse and a trolley, where sitting on top was two cups and a kettle of Yuuki Cha tea, her favorite.
"How long was I out Dr. Yamane?" Miki asked, facing Dr. Yamane. He was currently pouring a cup for her.
"Nearly three weeks." Dr. Yamane said. He handed Miki, now in a sitting position the cup of tea.
"Arigato." Miki said, thanking Dr. Yamane, before taking a sip.
"It has come to strength again, hasn't Miki." Dr. Yamane said seriously.
Miki stared down at her cup; she thought it was gone when she was eighteen. But no, it now feels like it was dormant all this time and by just simply touching the Gojirasaurus… The Gojirasaurus!
Miki looked to Dr. Yamane in panic. She was going to asked what has happen to him… but Dr. Yamane knew by her body language and with the current situation what she was going to ask.
"The Gojirasaurus is still were it was when you saw it; awake and is being feed twice a week." Dr. Yamane said to Miki. Learning that he is still alive calmed her down, but the situation is still with her.
You see, Miki has a gift. A remarkable power to see things and senses thoughts of both humans and animals. Ever since she was a little girl, Miki Saegusa was a psychic. She does not know how or why she has received this gift. But because of this rare phenomenon, it is not easy keeping it a secret and people reactions are far from kind. She received the sharp end of the stick of bullying, abuse, and disrespect; classed as an outcast. Even with an I.Q level that can top with even the greatest of people at her age, she was never loved… not even her parents.
Shaking the negative thoughts from her head, she confirmed to Dr. Yamane that her powers have returned. Dr. Yamane simply sat, with a stern face. He understood the pain that she went through, that is why he took her to be his assistant. He did not want a bright mind like hers to be destroyed by the foulness of humanity. "When I was… unconscious Dr. Yamane; I saw visions of the Gojirasaurus… when it hatched." Miki said. Dr. Yamane just sat on the chair, allowing Miki to take her time. "He has just left one place, to enter another one, bigger and stranger." Miki said. She is explaining that she was looking through the mind of the Gojirasaurus. "He was confused at first, but then turned to see and saw a 'nice thing'." Miki said.
"The 'nice thing' was you." Dr. Yamane said, clearly interested. While he respects that Miki never likes speaking of what is going on through the thoughts of someone's mind, it is simply astounding to him what goes on behind the thoughts of people. If used correctly, you can use it to 'feel' emotions if someone are depressed or angered and can help them. However, if used incorrectly… as the old saying goes. The mind is a powerful thing; it can change the course of the world. (SupernalGodzilla – 2014)
"Yes, what he saw was someone he can rely on, to come to; almost like…" Dr. Yamane beat her to the punch. "A parent?" Dr. Yamane asked, with an amused look on his face. Even better is that Miki isn't looking at him, this is going to be a chuckle. "Yeah… a parent." Miki was too fixated looking down, to notice Dr. Yamane's 'concerned' expression.
"I thought that you were too patient to be in a 'relationship' at this time in order to be a parent or did decide that you are to skip the first two rules and decided to kidnap a baby dinosaur instead." Dr. Yamane asked in a 'concerned' voice to match his 'concerned' face. "Dr. Yamane!" Miki screamed in shock and awe, while the good old doctor laughed at his apprentice's outburst. What is it that young people say today… so worth it.
*Chuckle* "My apologies Miki, but by the way you were speaking, you were almost like that of a real parent." Dr. Yamane said. Miki gave him a pout before accepting his apology; it was nothing but harmless fun. "Can I… go see him… please?" Miki asked Dr. Yamane to see how the Gojirasaurus is. "We'll wait until the sun is up, then you can go see your 'son'. Is that alright with you Miki?" Dr. Yamane asked. Walking up to the door and standing beside it, waiting for Miki's answer.
"Alright… I'll get some shut-eye then, see you then Dr. Yamane." Miki said. Getting herself cozy in the bed.
"That is all I needed to hear." Dr. Yamane said. Turning off the lights and walking out the door.
JDF Military Base, Birth Island, 4:50am
Dr. Yamane was seated, in the office of Douglas Gordon and he himself was seated behind his desk. The wall clock ticking off the seconds as both man stared down. Eventually Gordon sighed, rubbing his temple.
"This wasn't what I was expecting so soon doctor, I thought the Gojirasaurus would hatch in a week or more. It was almost like… the radiation boosted its growth in the egg." Gordon explaining that it was too soon. "Indeed Gordon you are correct about the growth." Dr. Yamane said to the Colonel.
Gordon pondered his thoughts; his main priority is to make sure that everyone on this island is safe including even Tokyo which is nearly twenty-five kilometers away. It is his responsibility and he will do whatever it takes.
"Right now the creature is restless. Every time we send anyone in it will stand its ground, chest puffed, snarling and hissing. It clearly doesn't accept our company." Dr. Yamane talked more about how the Gojirasaurus is becoming a handful. "Like any animal, he is confused about what will become of him if he allows them to come closer." Dr. Yamane finished up. There is only one person that can set things straight and hopefully things around here will be a lot smoother.
Another sigh from Gordon, he just did not know what to make of this situation; they just have not meet anything like it before. Like stepping on a mine-field, you just do not know where the mines are. "Except for Miki Saegusa, correct doctor?" Gordon said, earning a nod from the doctor. He received the report when Dr. Yamane brought her here to be his assistant. The 'mind reading cheat' she was called by the teachers at the University of Tokyo.
Though he had never met the girl in the past, he could almost imagine her confusion and fear. The abuse she, had to deal with. There was once a time when he would have laughed in her face… if it was not for them.
"Has she recovered?" Gordon asked.
"Yes, she is resting at the moment. Though, she is anxious to see the Gojirasaurus again." Dr. Yamane said.
"Are you sure that she will not have another episode?" Gordon asked, wanting to make sure it was absolutely clear that something like what happened three weeks ago will not happen again.
"I am absolutely sure, Colonel." Dr. Yamane said.
With a final sigh from Gordon and permission to leave from him, Dr. Yamane exited out. Both of their minds are on the right path, but with different reasons to back them up. Gordon wants to make sure that the Gojirasaurus will not become a threat to anyone. For Dr. Yamane, that the Gojirasaurus not to become threatened by them.
There we go. We got past chapter three and are to enter into the unknown. (Queue ghostly noises)
