Chapter 4: Family
Godzilla led Harry to the center of the island, and roared to the skies, calling over the island's other (current) inhabitants. There were three other giants which approached. One was a creature with a crocodile-like snout and porcupine-like spines coating its back. The second was a pterosaur, while the third was a serpentine dragon.
"Thank you for coming so promptly," said Godzilla, "last night I felt a pulse of radiation from an unknown source. When I look for the source this is who I found. He has decided to join with us, living here on the island".
"A pleasure to meet you," said the spiny creature, "Name's Anguirus".
"I am Rodan," said the pterosaur, "welcome, young one".
"And I am Manda," said the serpentine dragon, "I am pleased to hear you wish to join our little group".
"Thank you, everyone," said Harry, "I am… ah I just realized I don't have a name to fit my new self".
"Ah, you'll think of something blue boy," said Anguirus, who gave Harry a good natured pat on the shoulder.
Meanwhile, in an observation area nearby, scientists studied the kaiju to learn about how they act when they're not causing massive property damage. Those allowed into this post must undergo extensive background checks and swear oaths to not harm these creatures or their habitat. As such, those allowed onto the island are a select few, and almost never those outside the research community. However, two of those approved outsiders happened to be on site today. Part of the reason these particular two are allowed on the island is their influence on the research project, being some of the primary financiers, and are also their regular donations to the IKF (International Kaiju Fund). These two happened to also be a pair of 650 year old mages, in the form of Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel.
These two have seen nations rise and fall, governments clash and change, and understood why these creatures existed: the Earth itself fighting back against the careless destruction wrought by humanity, using the energies of the greatest weapons man had created to retaliate. Many people regard these creatures with fear… which is sensible, given what they can do. However, while a person is smart, people are foolish, and once and idea takes root, others will latch onto it. As such many view these creatures as nothing but monsters that only deserve destruction… which is why this island's location is so secret. High level classifications, arrays of deflection charms to make ship not land here, and modified Fidelus charms keeping anyone from accidently spilling information.
The Flamels looked out the window at the collection of kaiju noticing the metallic blue, 50 meter long dragon they'd never seen before. They noticed it seemed to be exchanging greetings with the others, when Anguirus gave it a pat on the shoulder.
"Doctor," said Nicolas, "what can you tell me about that dragon-like kaiju?"
"Nothing, really," said the scientist, "this is the first time we've seen it as well. It might be a recent mutation. It seems to be getting along with the others, so I can only assume they have accepted it".
Nicolas looked at the creature in question, and could swear he felt something vaguely familiar about it. That's when he realized: magic... this kaiju had magic! He immediately realized this was something new, previously undiscovered… A actual magical kaiju! Certainly, creatures with abilities resembling magic had been seen before, Space Godzilla and its telekinesis, for instance. But those lacked this one had.
'I'll have to keep an eye on this one,' thought Nicolas.
Back outside, Harry was listening as the others regaled him with stories of great battles they'd fought.
"…and then G here grabs them by the middle neck and says 'This world is under our protection, go back to your own planet!'" said Rodan, telling of their last encounter with King Ghidora, "and then… and then he uppercuts them right into low orbit!"
Harry couldn't contain is amusement at this image, and falls onto all fours from laughing so hard. Eventually, he regained his composure and got back up again. For the first time in his memory, he was truly happy.
"Alright… enough story time for now," said Godzilla, "This young one, due to the factors of his mutation, requires training on how to use what he's been gifted with. Let's begin with flight. Rodan, I believe that's your cue".
"Right away," said Rodan, "Follow me".
Harry followed the pterosaur, and they came to a cliff overlooking the sea. Rodan stepped up to the edge, with Harry trailing behind.
"Alright," said Rodan, "you are here today to learn one of the purest pleasures of all: flight, the freedom of the skies, watching as the land passes beneath your wings. Now, spread your wings, as far as you can".
Harry did that, and saw his shadow expand to be nearly as wide as he was tall. Rodan looked him over sizing up the proportions of wing surface to body size, and then nodded.
"Yes, I think you'll be an excellent flier," said Rodan, "maybe not the fastest, but you'll be well balanced in the air. Let's do this. Start flapping your wings, curving the tips downward to scoop air more efficiently. Repeat this for every downbeat, and make sure to put enough force behind it or you'll never get anywhere. Once you start taking off, you should be able to feel you balance point, and can better work to maintain it".
Harry nodded, and followed the direction he was given. After a several flaps of his massive wings, he felt his connection to the ground become tenuous and kicked off it time with the next downbeat of his wings. He gained altitude, and found his proper balance. Rodan took off as well and flew to be level with him.
"Good," said Rodan, "now, on to maneuvering and aerial acrobatics. This is more of a learn by observation thing. Follow my lead, and to your best to keep up".
With that Rodan tucked his wings and dived, then leveled off just above the waves. Harry copied the motions, and kept on Rodan's tail. He pulled up and did a half roll, performing a tight U-turn to pass right of Harry's head. Once again Harry copied Rodan's actions, still keeping up. Next Rodan headed for a cavern entrance, and flew inside with Harry still close behind. Rodan weaved back and forth between pillars of limestone, as did Harry. However this was stopped when Rodan turned sideways to fly through a narrow gap, one which Harry couldn't fit through. Rodan soon flew pack out through a different gap, and Harry got back on his tail.
Back outside the cavern, Rodan pulled off a half loop, followed by a half-corkscrew, then leveled off and mirrored the previous pattern. Again Harry copied the pattern, seeing quickly how this move could be useful: a feint. Make you foe expect one thing, but sudden do the other. It had been a good, albeit tricky flight at times, but Rodan had been right: Harry never felt so free as he did with the wind coursing over his wings.
The two kaiju landed, and headed down to the shore. They caught themselves some fish for a snack, each using a different method. Rodan took flight again, swooping down and plucking fish from the water. Harry simply waded in, and to his surprise he had no trouble seeing beneath the waves. He simply chomped down on the fish as they swam by, catching enough to satisfy himself.
The pair headed back inland, ready to meet up this the others again.
