Disclaimer: I don't own Godzilla or the Kaiju assosiated with him, alright? Anyway, here we go...
A/N: Well, this is moving a long quite well, isn't it? I already have more than ten reviews, that's good, thanks to all who have reviewed. Sorry about this update being late though...my computer got busted, however, I was able to borrow someone's computer long enough to get a chapter down (actually two if you count my other story, but anyway, I digress), don't worry, it was with his permission. Now please do enjoy, and don't forget to review :-P:
Chapter 4: The Perfect Duo?
Osaka, 1:45 AM:
Godzilla, after several minutes of swimming at full speed could finally see his first destination, Osaka. Even he was appalled at what he saw, the entire city was practically destroyed, he could feel the presence of radiation, but there was also a toxic essence in the air. He figured that a large number of gas lines had been busted during whatever happened to the city, being as he could smell the fumes from how far he was. Now, the giant lizard knew he could survive the fumes, but he knew that there likely weren't any humans left alive in the city, which was a good thing, now he wouldn't have to worry about holding back should he run into some...trouble.
"Man…I wouldn't even wish this kind of fate to humans, it's almost sickening." The King of the Monsters mumbled to himself as he made landfall and assessed the damage. Upon further inspection he noticed something, "Hm…it's almost as if this place was attacked by a monster. Recently too…" Godzilla growled when he noticed that many of the buildings showed signs of being toppled by a creature almost as big as himself and he made himself more cautious of his surroundings. He continued to progress so he could destroy the crystal and move on. The King of Monsters saw what he was looking for near the center of the city so he began to run towards it, but just as he was about to reach it, he was tackled to the ground.
"Ah, so we meet again, your majesty. Heh, I've been looking forward to this." An eerie roar echoed through the city, it sounded a little like a high pitched chain-saw. Godzilla got up to see who his attacker was, but saw no one, it was too dark.
"Blast…show yourself, coward!" The atomic behemoth commanded.
"As you wish…" The voice mocked as he landed right in front of Godzilla. It was a monster that was slightly smaller than Godzilla with dark skin, hooked hands, and a buzz-saw on his abdomen, among other things.
"What…are you?" Godzilla questioned as he gave an inquisitive look to the creature.
"You mean you don't recognize me? I am Gigan, only I've been…reformatted after my countless defeats at your hands. Now I'm built to fight you specifically." The cybernetic monster scoffed as he assumed his fighting stance.
"Ah, so you're Gigan, huh? Okay, how about we put that reformatting of yours to the test." Godzilla laughed as he readied to fight as well, he could tell that Gigan was a worthy adversary now, just by the way the cyborg carried himself.
"Fool!" Gigan shrieked as he lunged at the towering lizard and tackled him to the ground. The android then proceeded to slash at Godzilla with his bladed claws, but the nuclear monster protected his vitals with his arms so as to avoid serious damage. After a few seconds of taking a beating, Godzilla had enough and threw Gigan off of him. When the King of the Monsters stood up, he loosed his atomic breath, but Gigan countered with a crimson beam that was released from his single eye and the two monsters were locked in a beam battle. Luckily, Godzilla had experience in this kind of fight, so he adjusted his breath to a weaker level to trick Gigan into thinking he was out of strength, and just as Gigan bought the bluff, Godzilla unleashed a burst of energy which overwhelmed the cyborg and toppled him to the ground.
"Hm…it seems you have improved slightly, I'll give you that." Godzilla roared as he made his way over to Gigan, who was lying inert on the ground. Just as Godzilla was about to dispose of the body, the hybrid monster rolled over and blasted Godzilla with a shotgun style burst of energy from his eye, sending the towering lizard falling to his back. "Okay…that was new…" The king angrily grumbled as he stood up, when he did he noticed Gigan was already on his feet and had one of his hooks pointed right at Godzilla. "What now?" Godzilla mockingly questioned as he glared at his opponent.
"Heh, this!" Gigan let out a high pitched shriek as he jettisoned two tethered weights from underneath his hook which wrapped around Godzilla and fastened themselves by using the weights. The giant lizard was shocked at what happened and before he knew what to do a second set of coils wrapped themselves around Godzilla's muzzle, securely holding his arms still at his side and keeping his maw tightly shut. The next thing he knew, he was being pulled towards Gigan, whose buzz-saw featured abdomen was moving, ready to cut away at his adversaries flesh.
"Not good…" Godzilla thought as he realized he was almost out of time. He was slowly being dragged towards the serrated blades on Gigan's stomach, which would be able to tear even through his tough skin. Just as he came within a few feet of Gigan's body, Gigan was struck down by what appeared to be a stream of focused lightning bolts. Godzilla then saw who was responsible, it was MechaGodzilla, or as the humans called him Kiryu. The mechanical monster slashed through the cables with his arm mounted blade and freed Godzilla.
"Long time no see, eh, Godzilla?" Kiryu chuckled as he observed Godzilla angrily remove the cables from his body.
"What are you doing here? I didn't ask for your help. Or are you here to 'destroy' me?" The giant lizard scoffed as he looked Kiryu in the eye.
"Relax, I'm not here to tussle with you. Remember, even though I am allied with the humans, we share the same mentality. Like you, I can tell who the real enemy is, and right now, it's definitely not you, even the humans agree." Kiryu calmly grumbled.
"It's that bad huh?" Godzilla grumbled in disgust, he actually kind of enjoyed fighting with the humans, but he was smart enough to know it wasn't the time or place.
"Indeed…oh, look, sleeping beauty has decided to wake up." Godzilla's mechanical counterpart laughed when he saw Gigan had stood up.
"Good, I think he needs a good beat-down after what he tried to pull." The King of the Monsters hissed in anger.
Gigan stood up and curiously looked at the two monsters before him. "So, you have some help, big deal. I'll just mince you both!" He shrieked as he readied his claws for battle. Godzilla and Kiryu just looked at each other.
"He really has no idea how to pick his fights, does he?" Kiryu shook his head in disappointment.
"Apparently not…that's the last mistake he'll make. Now, just follow my lead, I'll show you how the new generation handles things." Godzilla laughed as he prepared for battle.
"Now, just because I was born centuries ago doesn't mean I can't fight, you of all monsters should know that." Kiryu followed Godzilla in laughter. Gigan just cautiously looked at them and waited for one of them to make the first move.
A/N: Oh boy...this should be good, lol. Hope you all enjoyed, and don't forget to review, okay?
