Sydney, Australia
The beautiful seaside city of Sydney has always been a beautiful location. Its beautiful harbour's glistening waters and the inner city's many attractions have brought the attention of many people. Every year thousands of tourists would go there hoping for some relaxation.
Now however, no one would recognize it.
The normally temperate city is now a snow covered wasteland. Snow has never even been heard of in the Australian coast, yet the entire city is now besieged by the cold. The buildings now look like giant frozen poles in the middle of a white sheet. The Sydney Harbour is completely frozen and the once beautiful waters were now under sheets of ice. Crystals are scattered around the city; obviously the cause of this catastrophe. Fortunately most of the civilians had made it out safely, save for the stubborn and insane. The Australian military has been dispatched to find any survivors. Time is limited; the city was growing steadily colder. To make matters worse, they had been continuously assaulted by "crystal towers" all morning. The commander of this force let out a long sigh; never in his years of service had he experienced something like this.
Fate steps in once again to ruin his day.
Bursting through the ice, Godzilla roared his arrival to all that still remain in this desolate ice field. He had been travelling south after his incident in San Francisco. Now arriving in Sydney, Godzilla noticed the temperature had dropped significantly. Though he has never been to Australia, Godzilla knew that the waters down south were warmer than that near his island home. However, when he travelled down to Sydney, the water seemed to grow colder. Godzilla is able to tolerate cold temperatures better than his fellow reptiles, but he can still feel the cold starting to ravage the warmth inside him.
The commander of the Australian army swore when he saw the beast. They had been working their asses off trying to dispel the crystal towers that emerged earlier, and much of his forces had been destroyed while the towers simply disappeared into the ground. He only had around 150 soldiers and 20 vehicles left. Godzilla's appearance would spell disaster for him. Though the commander had never traded fire with The King of Monsters before, he knew from data sent by the GDF that Godzilla is one of the most dangerous kaiju ever lived. No, he simply can't risk a direct confrontation, not at their current state. The commander sighed bitterly; there could still be people trapped in the city and they will all perish should Godzilla enter. Fortunately, The King did not seem to pay the city any attention, instead looking steadily in front of him.
Just when the commander thought that the day couldn't possibly get any worse, it did.
The ground started to shake, causing Godzilla to roar in alarm. A deafening crack sounded as the ground just a few feet away from him ripped open and out emerges a singular monolith of crystal. This crystal structure was even taller than the Monster King himself! Its turquoise color glinted in the sunlight. Apart from the size, the monolith was quite different in terms of shape. It stood almost perpendicular to the ground, wide at the base and narrow at the tip. At the top there is what seems to be a more pointed part that was a bright red color. Godzilla could feel energy crackling at the tip, and he has a pretty good idea of what is going to happen next. Godzilla could sense malice flowing from the crystal, and before he could react, the crystal's tip fired a bolt of energy at the King
Godzilla roared as the red hot beam lanced into him. The beam is similar to the Maser weapons that the humans use against him, only much stronger. Charging up an atomic ray, Godzilla blasted the base of the tower, causing many shards to dislodge. The tower responded by firing pieces of gem at the Monster King; these shards stabbed into his flesh and exploded soon after, bring the giant to his knees. Godzilla groaned in pain as more bolts and crystals assaulted his body. He tries to fire another atomic ray, but the crystal was ready this time; erecting crystal walls to block the devastating beam. Godzilla growled: enough is enough. Mustering all his strength, he heaved himself towards the tower, ignoring the pain of the energy bolts. Once he is in range, Godzilla was rather unhesitant in ripping the tower apart with his claws. The structure started to crack under the heavy blows, and with a final sweep of his mighty tail, Godzilla snapped the tower in half.
Seeing the result of his destruction, Godzilla roared to the heavens. His cry of victory quickly turned into a groan of pain. He turned around to see not one, but two crystal towers standing tall. One of the crystal's tip was slightly glowing, a sign that it was the culprit behind his injury. Godzilla growled in annoyance; he had enough trouble with just one of these things, now he has to deal with two of them? Charging up another atomic ray, Godzilla fired with the intent of melting the structure. But the monolith had a hidden surprise. Right before the beam hits, walls of crystal rose out of the ground, blocking the ray with ease. More shards exploded against his flesh. Godzilla roared in fury; enough was enough. Ignoring the pain, he gets onto his feet and charged quickly to the nearest tower. Grabbing it by its shaft and with godly effort, he managed to uproot the glistening tower and tosses it to the ground, shattering it. Sensing victory is almost at hand, Godzilla turned towards the final tower. The structure tries in vain to dispel the massive beast with its energy blasts, but the King would not have any of it. Summoning the rest of his energy for one final atomic ray, Godzilla turns the once majestic structure into a burning ruin.
Not far from the battle, the commander smiles thinly. A marshal reported to him that reinforcements have arrived and asked whether they should open fire on the giant beast. The commander quickly denied that request, knowing full well that even injured Godzilla is more than a match for an army of any size. In addition to that, it just did his job for him. The commander was no monster sympathiser, but he knew gratitude when he experiences it. Calmly, the commander lit a cigar and smoked a silent victory; if he knew better, Godzilla would be leaving the city soon after experiencing such an intense battle.
Meanwhile, that thought is exactly what's the King of Monsters is thinking of. Godzilla turned back to the hole he made in the ice, and looked in the direction of Monster Island. The outside world is way different than he remembered. Godzilla grunted as he made his way towards the hole. He's had enough of crystals for the past few days. The sun sets in frozen Sydney as Godzilla's tail dipped beneath the waves, the monster thinking of nothing else except for a long sleep.
Nothing would ever prepare him for what he'd encounter on his way back.
Welp, this chapter is finally finished after I think almost 3 months of occupied time and procrastination (mostly procrastination). At this rate this is going to take a while. The school year is almost finished and in these last months I've been working my ass off trying to keep up. New chapter of Spacegodzilla Lord of the Void will be coming some time later. Keep your eyes open!
