Bella's POV
When the thought crossed my mind, I didn't think kaiju were to go so low but the predatory glint in its eye made me think otherwise. I disengaged the parachute and started at a dead sprint toward the creature. Once I was a good few yards away, I started screaming at it to let my mom go. I ran around trying to get its attention to no avail. My feet felt like lead when I heard my mom scream in fright, and it nearly gave me a heart attack when it squeezed my mom harder to get her quiet.
Slowly a burning sensation formed in my throat. It kept building and building until I opened my mouth and let it lose. I was expecting a screech of some sort to fall from my lips but instead a wave of blue flames came out instead. I didn't aim well so the flames only made t to its chest only causing a slight burn. But that slight burn seemed to get the attention I needed.
The creature looked down at me as I went about trying to scorch his skin to a blistering red. In the confusion, the kaiju dropped my mother setting her free from its clutches. Goal one achieved. Now I just need to distract this thing until back up arrives. In my haste to make sure my mom is okay, I fail to notice the huge boulder coming toward me. But when I did, it was too little too late. The hit alone knocked the wind right out of me but strangely the weight of it didn't seem to affect me. I pushed the boulder out of my just in time to see the beast throw the remains of our jet at me. I successfully dodge it before going in for my attack.
I run up to it and let lose my flames again and dashed away in an attempt to get it away from my mother. I don't know how I'm doing this but it must be some ability I gained from dad. The creature follows me and is towering over me in seconds, and just when I'm ready to unleash my fire breath, it leans in to attack and successfully slashes a claw across my back as I tried to dodge. When a girlish scream that I know is not from me, I find the creature was no longer following me and my mom was in its claws again. My hypothesis is that my mom tried to help unknowing of the consequences for herself and got recaptured. I ran up to the kaiju and used my breath to burn his tail in hopes to distract him and save mom.
No such luck. Instead, I am met with a blow from his tail that had me skidding across the ground and into a dense wall of rock.
I grit my teeth at the pain as blood seeps down my back like tree sap, and I slowly try to stand back up. The creature starts just stares at me as I stand helplessly as it dangles my mother right over its head. Even if she were to miss his mouth, there would be no parachute to save her this time. The fall would mean instantaneous death. I glare at the creature, who just stands and holds my mother as if she was a toy or piece of food. That's when the beast does the worst capable thing. My body feels like lead as I watch the creature hang my mother over its open mouth. Then I think, where are those damn MEGTAF units that were supposed to be here after we sent out an S.O.S. signal? If they had been here already then mom wouldn't have . . .
I feel tears start to fall down my face when a memory hits me, 'Follow these easy steps when you're ever in trouble or need help' the way to get in touch with dad. He's the only family I have left, and what else do I have to lose. I scramble to pull the dragon stone out of my pouch before trying to remember his instructions.
Find stone. Check. Look for a place that has not yet been touched by man. Check. So now all I have to do is smash the rock and call out his name. Taking the stone into my right hand, I throw it as hard as I can at the ground shattering it.
"Tarragon!" I yell out with all the remaining voice I have within me. I feel like the Earth itself has stopped moving. A crack going horizontal starts to appear between me and the creature. The crack started to grow wider and wider at each passing second. When it was almost a mile wide, a deep roar shook the air around us. I don't know how I looked but the kaiju I'm pretty sure the kaiju looks more scared than I do. I could see it visibly shaking in fear. I almost laughed but the moment was too serious.
Slowly, a body starts to emerge from the pit of darkness. And I knew one thing for sure, that the kaiju was in deep shit. Once the figure fully emerged, I wipe my tears away as I tried to take in every single little detail that was my father. My three hundred foot tall kaiju father.
He had a black body, dark blue eyes, and had three sets of white horns. My dad looked like a total badass. He reminded me of Belloc except only darker and nicer. Once my dad had come out of the hole of darkness, his eyes were only set on the kaiju holding my mother captive. I watched as my dad was made his way to the kaiju and towered over it. Dad held out one of his 'hands' in a way of asking for mom like. It looked kind of like an adult asking for his kid to give back the toy that they stole.
The kaiju reluctantly put my mother into dad's awaiting hand. I watched in slow motion as my dad shot out his other hand and grabbed our attacker by his throat and lifted him up of the ground until his tail could no longer touch the ground. The small kaiju struggled for a bit before submitting to my father. In one fair swoop, my dad had thrown the other kaiju over his shoulder in to the dark abyss. The abyss in turn, closed until all that was left was a small symbol of a dragon.
Then he finally turned around and saw me. Once we made eye contact, I knew that the feelings that I've been keeping bottled up for all my life were getting ready to run free. He ran over to me and slowly set mom down on the ground. When it finally sunk in that my mom was alive, I felt myself go slowly limp in my mom's awaiting arms.
She started freaking out asking me if I was okay. I cracked a smile at her before darkness slowly took hold of my conscious. The last thing I remember before I fell unconscious was my dad saying, "She's so beautiful."
