It had been a mere month for Godzilla and his new team of kaiju and still they hadn't gone to Earth let alone battled any monsters. Godzilla meanwhile was trying to coop with the fact he was a clone and as instructed Destroyah and Spacey were to leave him alone. In their private chamber Anguirus was teaching Godzilla that defense was as good as offense. Anguirus knew this technique well, considering he could roll into a giant living mace. "Remember, defense gives you time to plan a counter and frustrates the enemy." He recapped.
Godzilla nodded and readied himself for Anguirus' attack. He rolled tightly and drove at Godzilla head on, He held his body waiting for the strike. Destroyah glared from the other side, ever since the incident it made his hatred for Godzilla grow. "I don't get it everyone acts like he's special." Spacey shook his head ignoring his accomplice's petty rivalry. "Look if you're angry about this forget it, he kicked our assess. I'm starting to think that denial is rubbing off." Spacey commented on Destroyah's expression. "Can it Spacey, besides don't you want retribution for what that simpleton did?" Destroyah said impulsively.
"Of course I do, but like I said before bitching isn't going to get you anywhere." Spacey replied. Destroyah scowled and went back to his training. "Okay guys, it's been an hour and half, we should stop for now." Rodan said looking at the clock above the door. Godzilla sat down worn out from the exercises, he had a rather long face. "What's wrong?" Anguirus asked. "Are you still upset about the…?" Rodan dared. "No." Godzilla answered quickly. "I'm bored is all, Kiryu said he created us to protect the Earth. So why aren't we doing it?" They had a great sense of relief wash over them. That's one thing they could all agree on, when was the fun going to begin?
"I wouldn't fret for much longer my friends." A voice appeared out of nowhere, Gigan stood in the door way grinning. "Gentlemen I believe your assistance is required." The vibe in the chamber changed from bored to very enthusiastic. Gigan lead the anxious group to the command center, "We get to fight now? Awesome where are we going?" Godzilla said blissfully. "I don't have all the information that the commander's job." Gigan said. In the command center Kiryu was exanimating the monitor then transferred the image to the main screen. The doors opened and the team entered eager to receive orders. "Good morning everyone, I can tell by your faces you're zealous to begin your mission at hand." Kiryu greeted them.
"You bet we are, I'm ready to beat someone's sorry ass into the ground." Destroyah exclaimed. "No argument there, where we off to?" Godzilla said. "Yesterday we obtained reports from the mid-east, we check for patterns before jumping to conclusions. In northern India New Delhi to be precise, two large kaiju have been identified. A large eagle type with strange features of a horse and a pachyderm with massive tusks." Kiryu explained the situation. "Your powers will be placed at ninety percent, this allows you to use any of your powers as desired. Now if you follow Gigan, he'll lead you to the hanger. After you land safely we'll give you the rest of the information."
Gigan guided the jiggery team to the hanger, the place where every space convoy and air craft came. One convoy in particular was prepared to take Godzilla and his team to the grounds of earth. Gigan stopped and left them to their trip, He wished them the best of luck. They stood their awkwardly for a few minutes because there seemed to be no one in sight. "S.S. Seine?" Anguirus mumbled taking notice of the ship's name. "Named after the river Seine in Paris." A human voice spoke. From the front end of the ship a human in pilot uniform appeared. But when they saw him they were thrown off a bit by his face. The pilot was confused "Something wrong fellas?" He asked.
"It's your face you look different." Rodan stated. The pilot laughed and realized what they were referring to. "No I get it I'm not Japanese, I'm from New Zealand. That's probably why you all freaked out. The name's Wayne Evans nice to meet the kaiju team in action." He secured his helmet strap and hiked into the cockpit of the ship. "Seine is that a country?" Rodan asked cluelessly. "It's a river in France, you see the other pilots decided to name their convoys and fighters after national landmarks or capitals. Mine's Seine because my mother would take me there to visit family." Evans responded. "Climb aboard!" The rear ramp slid to the floor and they stepped in.
The holding area was a dark greyish green, racks concealed the metal ceiling, and a massive closed panel on the left. "How will it take to get down to Earth?" Godzilla said. "Six minutes max, also when we launch the G-force will possibly knock you off your feet. So my advice hold on tight." Evans informed. The ramp shut and Evans contacted the control room for permission to depart. Inside the others were trying to figure out what G-force meant, at first they thought he was referring to the army that fought Godzilla in the past. Spacey in his own head though to when the astronomer told him in the class. Okay so the acceleration times mass equal to… However before he finish his equation, the convoy lifted and took off at lightning speed.
At all once they were pushed to the ground, "I get it the G-force stands for gravity." Spacey moaned. "Good observation Einstein!" Godzilla said whacking Spacey across the face. As they heaved themselves from the flooring, the left side panel opened. Revealing the reaches of space and the big blue marble of Earth. They gaped in awe at sphere of sapphire and emerald green. Home it the only thing that Godzilla could murmur as the lively world reflected in his ember eyes. The area remained silent even Destroyah and Spacey couldn't deny the indescribable magnificence of the planet.
Moments later the ship made a loud thump, "Welcome home boys!" Evans shouted from the cockpit. The ramp door slid down again, exposing the wet forest, tall mountains, and vast river banks of India. Not far from their location was the city of New Delhi, the skyline and metro tracks were a dead giveaway. "So you've arrived India, your powers are on ninety percent, and the trackers should help you find the monsters." Kiryu's voice appeared on their collars. Suddenly the sound of human screams and collapsing buildings filled the air.
Another word wasn't said Rodan, Destroyah, and Spacey flow to the sky. Anguirus and Godzilla hurried on land to distressed metropolis. High pitched shrieks echoed through the streets, the hybrid bird creature from which the sound originated. It perched itself on one of the Grand Arches that measured hundreds of feet. It had talons like an eagle, legs of a horse and wings spread over seventy meters. On the ground below the elephant monster bulldozed the town to ruble. It stood slightly taller than Anguirus, it had tusks on both top and bottom mandibles, pillar like legs, and thick hide skin.
But their rampage came to a grinding halt as someone else began to shake the Earth under their feet. An ear piercing roar followed and what they saw was trouble they were not expecting. Rodan and Destroyah landed on towers surrounding the hybrid flyer. Spacey and Anguirus blocked the paths of the elephant, "Sorry to tell you but the carnival's closed." Godzilla grimaced as the city razed as he walked. "Look on the bright side though you can still play with us." The bird gave an apathetic cry and took off into the atmosphere. Rodan and Destroyah in quick pursuit, Rodan fastest of them attempted to cut the creature off.
In the streets the elephant beast was readying to charge, Anguirus with his dense skull would be the opponent. They full speed in mere seconds their head collided with blinding force. Anguirus feet dug into pavement unable to grasp the power this monster had. Knowing he would slip away at any moment Spacey stepped forward using his psychic abilities to help. He may not have had his own hands on him Spacey felt the brute force this thing was exerting. "Damn this bastard doesn't know when to go down." Spacey struggled. Course in this battle out numbering the enemy is the way to beat them.
Godzilla grabbed onto the monster's tail pulling with all his strength, "Okay you two let go." Godzilla said through the communicator on his collar. "No offense G but if we can't hold this guy back what makes…" Spacey argued. "Just trust me!" Godzilla retorted. The two warily released and in one mesmerizing move, Godzilla heaved the beast into the fallen buildings. Spacey was astonished he didn't know he could do that. Despite their efforts the monster rose from the debris, "Godzilla you need to lure them out of the city." Kiryu demanded. High in the sky Rodan and Destroyah were driving the bird insane. When the message came to lure the beasts away from the city, it was clear that they'd follow them regardless.
In the exposed valley they could fight as hard as they wanted without the chances of hurting anyone. The hybrid bird was getting wise to Rodan and Destroyah and went on the offense. "We need a new plan and making this thing dizzy isn't working." Destroyah yelled. "We have to break those wings that what's keeping it airborne." Rodan answered. Destroyah studied the creature's anatomy closely, the wings had a weakness. But the bird needed to be distracted for it to work and some practice. Rodan was swift if he made the bird go after him, the back would be unprotected. Destroyah whispered the plan to Rodan through the collar.
Meanwhile Godzilla decide he'd go hand to head with the elephant kaiju, he also had a plan to ending this creature's terror. Godzilla and Spacey used their combined powers only to find they barely made a dent on the elephant's hide. "Spacey try to trap it using your crystals." Godzilla suggested. Spacey knew it was no problem, the actual problem was keeping the beast still. Anguirus was ready to go again, and Godzilla would grab the tail long enough for Spacey to create the prison. They cautiously approached, Anguirus went first plowing his head to hold the monster back. Then Godzilla rushed in and held the tail so he won't escape.
Energy pulsated in Spacey's body, in a single thought of his mind the crystals erupted from the ground. Godzilla and Anguirus evaded the entrapment and watched as the creature thrashed around. However they hadn't found a way to kill it yet and that wasn't their biggest problem. The elephant kaiju was smashing the crystals as if it were glass and escaped the shattered material embedded in its skin. To their surprise they saw blood slowly drip from the wound and it gave Godzilla an idea. Although he didn't have time for it, because the monster charged again this in a wrath. Fortunately he seized the tusks before they punctured his body.
As for Rodan and Destroyah their strategy was bringing the bird to its wits end. Rodan had been side swiping, ripping the downy feathers off its body. In turn permitted Destroyah to blast his oxygen destroyer to its wings, in every hit the bird took the assault was taking its toll. The muscles and tissue were deteriorating, the two know it was now or never to finish this. Rodan soared pass near the hybrid, then latched onto one the wing and shook violently. Destroyah went to the other wing and just tore it off, soon the bird plummeted to the Earth.
"I guess someone should've put you in cage a long time ago." Rodan said triumphantly. He turned is head to Destroyah while he was rather frightening to look at he was a good teammate. The creature still writhing in pain wasn't done fight, "Care to do the honors?" Rodan pointed to the monster. "Please the honors all mine." Destroyah scoffed. He opened his mouth discharging his maroon colored beam, it reduced their foe to nothing then warm bones. It may have been a victory for those two but Godzilla had his hands full literally. In a struggle to hold the elephant beast back the closer the tusks came to slicing him up.
Thankfully Godzilla wasn't the only one with hands, Spacey stepped in both taking hold a tusk. "I hope you've got a plan to kill this thing little brother." Spacey said sarcastically. "Well my first was basically out the window when it broke loose." Godzilla replied. "And now?" Spacey asked. "Now all we need to do is fling this thing on its back and Anguirus run it over." Godzilla explained hastily. He yelled his idea to Anguirus and he curled firmly ready to grate the monster. "Okay one, two, three!" They lobbed it into Anguirus' path.
Unable to move the creature squirmed desperately to get away but its fate was sealed. Anguirus ricked rolled the underbelly until blood and skin began to peel. Seeing this Godzilla had Anguirus stop and him and Spacey deliver the final blow uing their energy attacks. Both blasts shook the Earth and the sounds echoed through the ground. The beast was cooked from the inside out its flesh and organs were nothing but ashes. For their first outing the new team had done very well, nevertheless there was more danger to come.
Then a call from Kiryu came in telling the five to inspect the city and how much damage there was. Luckily the damage wasn't too bad to their shock, many people had been injured but no deaths reported. As the group was preparing to leave they heard a strange noise coming from the humans. They weren't screams rather their voices were cheering and clapping. The team was dumbfounded humans had never done this before, to Godzilla he at least realized that the humans did care. They didn't just pollute the world or blow each other up. And he most certainly didn't guess he'd get applause.
Shortly Rodan got a message from Evans that the people were going to celebrate the monsters demise at their temples. The other four didn't object to it and Godzilla was actually curious about human rituals. The day slowly transformed into night the temples were lite with dozens of bon fires, and the faces of the gods decorated them. To the kaiju the faces were more terrifying then their own. They stood nearby watching the people dance, their bodies laced with gold jewelry and vibrant clothing. Another realization came to Godzilla the people here were different too. Their pigment dark and tan, facial features placed diverse.
He figured out that people in other regions of the world were unlike ones in a single region. Sitting opposite of a temple Spacey and Destroyah talked about the day's work and if being bad would do them any good. "I could get use to this everyday killing monsters ruthlessly and being praised now that's a life." Spacey expressed. Destroyah had other notions. "Sure fighting's fun but the humans are nothing compared to us, my philosophy after you destroy a city then take a nap in its ruins." Destroyah said putting his arms behind his head. Spacey just laughed to himself at those words.
A call from Kiryu stating that they need to head for the Indian military base eight miles from their current position. They had a warm welcome to the base, something Godzilla never got from the military. A lieutenant led them to a conference room so they could debrief Kiryu on what happened. "Good evening Godzilla everyone, you may proceed in the events of today." Kiryu's image appeared on a screen. "Yes sir, we engaged the enemies inside the city limits, then as you requested lured them away and exterminated them within the hour." Godzilla said formally.
"Well done gentlemen a good start to a rough road of war, I had complete faith in all of you. Now for what will be happening in the weeks to come, you'll not be returning to the colony. Instead you'll be in the bases of which ever country you're placed when that country is being attacked. Then you'll move to that base so and so forth, good luck to you all." The screen went blank. The group walked through the base discussing about the day. Suddenly a hot stimulating smell entered his nose, the other picked up on the scent too.
The aroma attracted them to the mess hall they hadn't eaten since they left the colony. They sat down at the tables which were conveniently their size, it made sense seeing that kaiju and human lived together. The food however wasn't what they expected. It had white color and the texture of mashed potatoes and it tasted very plain. This substitute was called nutro-meal, it was meant to provide the nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, and amino acids to kaiju. The vitamins, minerals, and sugars were fortified in long stocks like celery.
Rodan had noticed small canisters with colorful powder inside, they were spices and herbs. They took turns sniffing and tasting the odd residues some were strong, some were zesty and others sweet. Any spice one could think of basil, chives, curry, cumin, garlic, mustard, pepper, parsley, saffron, salt, rosemary, and scores of others. Destroyah sprinkled on the hot ones on his and would later question why when his throat caught on fire. Everyone had a good laugh at that, after dinner the lieutenant escorted them to their temporary room. "Hope that room has hose that stuff burned my chops like a forest fire." Destroyah moaned.
"Next time captain gusto, go easy on the spices that say Caution Extremely Hot." Godzilla teases. The day had ended for the people on Earth as for the team it had only begun. "Alert! Kaiju detected! Location: Western Europe!" the military base alarm cried. It wasn't a question if Godzilla and his allies were going to act in the best intentions. It was simply a matter of when and where and that was now. They all hauled off to the hanger with Evans waiting to deploy. The world might not have known it but their king was back and ready to do what he did best. Fight…
