7. Chapter 7

It was morning time on the island. The sun was rising from the east. It was still on the horizon line slowly making its way lighting the ocean, and just lighting it rays touch the island.

The island however was quite. No stomping sounds, no rumbling, and no roaring from the kaiju on the island. There was for once peace.

Jr was in his father's cave laying on his chest with his smooth rock in his hand. He was laying on the sand and dirt inside of the cave, but had no real foliage. His dorsal plates rose and lowered slowly as air entered and exited his lungs. Each breath made a loud reptilian hiss out of his nose.

Rodan was on a stone bed covered in dried plant matter that was of a tan color, on his back, and mouth wide open snoring at the ceiling of his cave, wherever that may be. Both of his wings were wide open, and one of his legs kicked while he mumbled stuff from his dreams.

Anguirus, however, was awake already. He was in his cave at the base of the mountain in the plains. The cave itself was a small hole he dug into the front of the mountain at its base. In it were two primitive stone couches with headrests facing the cave's entrance. They were both covered in vines and plant material which acted as foliage.

Anguirus himself was sitting on the couch on the right side of the cave yawning to himself. Both his eye were half closed with bags under them. He groaned and grumbled to himself annoyed.

Anguirus was smacking his mouth tasting the bad bitter flavor of morning breath while it seemed plaque and dried saliva covered his gums and teeth.

Anguirus: Ech… Damn mornings….

Anguirus raised both of his arms upwards to stretch, but he heard a sound on the outside of his cave similar to knocking. Anguirus's shook his head for a moment, and then looked at the cave's entrance confused. He thought to himself that both Rodan and Jr shouldn't be awake yet.

Anguirus: Hello?...

….

Rodan in the meantime was still sound asleep. He was also still making a lot of sound using his loud snore. His cave with located on the east part of the same mountain that Anguirus's cave was dug into.

Rodan's cave however was high above the ground, elevated, and dug into the side of the mountain. It had a narrow path made of rock and dirt leading up to it for kaiju who can't fly like he can. Outside of his cave was a balcony that overlooked the plains and basically anything in the island's east side. On the balcony were two rock he had shaped into flat top shapes to use to sunbathe, and relax on.

Rodan however was sleeping on his bed inside of the cave. He turned to his left and wrapped his right wing over himself like a blanket while he mumbled in his sleep. His cave however was a mess. Spread out around the cave was plant material such as leaves and vines. It was all spread out in an uneven and scattered manner. Some of it piled in the corners of the cave, and some of it was spread out only the stone floor of the cave.

Parallel to the bed was a rounded rectangular hole that acted as a shelf. It had various objects on it that acted as decorations. What was odd was all of the objects were of a yellow or blue color, and if they weren't that they were shiny. The yellow and blue objects consisted of cargo storage containers, boats of various sizes,cars of various ages, construction machines such as bulldozers, cranes, and excavators. It seems he stole these objects from humans.

Even stranger is he figured out how to organize the objects in a simple color pattern from blue to yellow in 8 different columns, and in a line. It took him 5 months to organize the pattern only to impress women. The shiny objects consisted of top of water tower, giant smooth stones, quartz rocks, and other objects.

Rodan finally began to wake up, and moaned awake. He slowly sat up on his bed and stretched his wings out. He flapped his wings several times and smacked his beak. He rubbed his lower abdominals, hips, and pelvis which all ached for some reason.

Rodan: Owww…. My aching fucking loins…. My damn hips…

Rodan continued groaning to himself, but cooed a bit remembering the fun he had the previous night with his lady friend. He smiled slightly as he massaged his abdominals. He looked to his

right.

Rodan: Babe last night was amazing.~

Rodan however was alone in his cave, and the woman he was with was nowhere to be seen. He squinted momentarily as he looked around, but then huffed to himself. He was left hanging again, and the woman he made love to abandoned him leaving him alone. However, this isn't the first time this has happened to him.

Rodan: Why was I expecting any different... Figures… Oh Rody man what are we going to do with you? This keeps happening…. Hmph whatever…

Rodan jumped to his feet from his bed, and walked over to his mantle. He squinted and used his fingers to inspect the pattern and objects. He hummed himself a bird song.

Rodan: Alrighty. Everything seems to be in order.

Rodan walked back to his bad, and grabbed the dried foliage off his bed which smelled of sex. He then walked out side of his cave, and onto his balcony. He then tossed over the dried plant manner over the side.

Rodan: And goodbye to you Jettanous….

Rodan yawned again, and stretched his wings outwards and upwards feeling the puling sensation in his muscles, and groaning.

Rodan: I guess I can go for an early morning fly around of the island… Why am I talking to myself….

Rodan shrugs, and beats his wings to the ground two times, and then flew off to fly around the island.

….

Jr in the meantime was still asleep on his chest with his smooth stress rock in his right hand. He made light snoring noises. He for some reason had a light smile on his face while he groaned lightly. He rubbed his chin on the ground for a odd reason. He was now the full 100 meter height of his species.

Jr however hadn't been off of the island for a while, and he hadn't participated in any battles against the humans for some time. He hadn't even sensed any rising kaiju, or had been on an excavation mission. However, his alert wasn't put lower, and he constantly thought about his job.

The only times however he wasn't alert was when he was asleep like right now.

Jr then began the slow tedious process of waking up. He moaned and groaned not wanting to wake up, and his smile turned into a closed eye frown.

Jr: Not yet…. Just a few more minutes….

However Jr heard a faint clicking noise, and eye immediately and suddenly opened wide. He yelped and began rolling over several time rapidly from side to side while he made a high pitched scared roar. His rolls shook the ground and he eventually flipped himself over to face the entrance of the cave.

He made violent snarl and bark at the entrance of the cave while his arms held his body up, and while his legs and feet raised his backside. He looked at the ground of the cave only to see the clicking noise was merely a crab large enough for a kaiju to eat. The crab itself was a peach colored orange on the top while the bottom portion was a light tan.

Jr shook his head and lowered himself back to his chest, and looked at the crab move. He panted from his sudden and rapid motion and he sighed at himself.

Jr: Dammit I gotta stop with that shit… At least I got breakfast.

Jr let the crab snap its claw onto his right index claw. He then stood himself up to two feet, and raised the crab cose and above his snout. He then made a low atomic breath onto the crab cooking it.

Jr then smiled to himself, and cracked the crab's shell open to consume it. He dug out the white meat from the main body, and the cracked open the remaining legs while feeling quite happy food had come to him for once.

He then walked outside, and dropped the crab shell to the side of his cave. He then twisted himself from right to left. He then bent over to touch his toe claws while yawning. He then extended his left arm right across his chest, and then used his right arm to form a flex. He connected the two arms at the elbows, and pushed and pulled them in opposite directions of each other. He repeated the process, but switching the positions of the arms.

Jr then sighed again, and then went for a walk around the island to patrol it as part of his morning routine. He walked out of the clearing by his cave, and he entered the surrounding jungle.

…...

However, during all of this Anguirus had exited his cave, and was on the eastern beach of the island. He was talking to another kaiju. Anguirus sat on all 4s talking to Jakory who was also sitting on all 4s. Anguirus watched Jakory carefully as he talked. Talking of Jr's kaiju resurgence theory.

Anguirus: So let me get this straight… You think you know of some information that could help my friend who I remind you is someone I consider my nephew.

Jakory however had an excited attitude and wide eyes as he spoke rapidly to Anguirus.

Jakory: I don't just think I know. I have been tasked by my king to find out more information about his theory.

Anguirus frowned when Jakory referred to Jr as "king". Anguiru knew clearly that Jr hated being called king.

Anguirus: Well you're king has a better name you know…. His name is Heisei Gojira Jr. I hate to sound so mean, but he hates being called king.

Jakory: Right. Sorry Anguirus, but he has tasked me to act as an informant for him, and relay any information I find back to him. I couldn't find him, but I know you're his most trusted friend.

Anguirus squinted at Jakory, and tilted his head confused at what he was hearing. It wasn't usually like Jr to send people to do jobs. Even stranger is how Jakory knew Anguirus was Jr's ally.

Anguirus: Okay first off how the fuck did you know me and Jr are extremely good friends? And secondly that doesn't sound like the kid to have people do work for him. He rather do it himself.

Jakory nodded, and smiled at Anguirus.

Jakory: Well he told me himself to come to you if he was unavailable for the moment for he trusts you the most.

Anguirus: Okay. And the informant thing?...

Jakory nodded again.

Jakory: Even if he didn't tell me himself directly to act as his informant it is my duty to help him any way that I can.

Anguirus tilted his head at a more noticeable angle, and help his mouth open while frowning. At Jakory.

Anguirus: And you feel like doing this with your life because he is king and has the so called royal blood in him?...

Jakory nodded with a large grin on his face. It was clear he loved doing this work despite the other kaiju not wanting this from him. It was an odd living he was putting himself through, but Anguirus only shrugged.

Anguirus: Alright. Whatever makes you happy. Just don't call him king. Its one of his pet peeves.

Jakory then lowered his smile, and looked down at the sand, and spoke in a lower voice.

Jakory: yes sir…

Anguirus: Wha- no… Stop Jakory… Just continue with what you were telling me.

Jakory looked back up at Anguirus again, and nodded quickly.

Jakory: Oh right well I have certain information regarding… Eh… Jr's?

Anguirus smiled and nodded pleased Jakory was used a name Jr was happy with being called.

Anguirus: Yes that's right Jr.

Jakory: Okay so listen. I know of a place in the Himalayas where your group can acquire information that might relate to the kaiju resurgence Gojira wishes to have.

Anguirus scratched his chin intrigued, but still cautious. Usually Jr only felt a kaiju waking up, and sensing one's presence using his 6th sense. Anguirus listened to the place Jakory jst said. The Himalayas. He had never heard of it before.

Anguirus: Well go on. What does this place look like?

Jakory's eye lightened up. He was excited Anguirus was listening.

Jakory: Well Anguirus. It's very mountainous terrain-

Anguirus: Okay stop right there… Freeze for a second…

Jakory stopped talking, and looked around nervous. Anguirus started speaking while making gestures with his hand to get his point across. He turned his right palm upwards.

Anguirus; Does this place happen to be in human territory, and landlocked?

Jakory: Landlocked?

Anguirus: It means there's no easy way back to the ocean, or any body of water for that matter.

Jakory looked down at the sand below him and sighed. He already knew Anguirus wasn't going to be an easy kaiju to convince.

Jakory: Well no… But!-

Anguirus: Wait one more question. Because this in the mountains we're talkin that means cold as hell, and hard to navigate terrain.

Jakory backed his neck up, and looked right to left nervously while he tried to come up with an answer that will still get Anguirus's attention without him turning away his offer.

Jakory: Well yes. Its mountainous and cold, but even the humans have trouble navigating through the place. It's largely unexplored and uninhabited by humans so he won't have much trouble with them in the Himalayas.

Anguirus raised a brow, and tapped his right index finger on the sand. He sighed though looking down, and away before looking back up at Jakory.

Anguirus: Well go on continue…

Jakory's eye widened in surprise. Anguirus so far has acted concerned and interested. Why was he now suddenly interested? Jakory shook his head, and decided to convince him further, and not let this opportunity to pass by him.

Jakory: Well, in the Himalayas there lies a legend to kaiju in that region on the outskirts ,and surrounding country about a legendary kaiju that ruled over the land long ago. It had amazing powers, and ruled the kaiju, but it was know as a benevolent ruler.

Anguirus crossed his arms while sitting, and raised a brow.

Anguirus: And how do we know this kaiju was benevolent?...

Jakory: Uh…. Well just hear me out. No one really knows what powers the kaiju had, but they were enough to help the humans, and even kaiju take settlement in the mountains. The Himalayas are now considered sacred land for that kaiju and any other kaiju that served under him.

Anguirus nodded. He listened closer as he scratched his chin.

Anguirus: Okay you got my attention with this story, but go on I want to hear more lore of the land.

Jakory made a wide smile, and his eyes widened. He cleared his throat, and his body began shaking in a hyper active, and excited manner. He opened his mouth to speak again, but he stuttered before finding words to speak with.

Jakory: Okay. Okay, so these lands they are sacred, and considered holy ground to many kaiju around the world. Kaiju often enter the land without knowing the story so kaiju around the place have to inform those poor souls to teach them some history. Except there were wars and battles fought for the land.

Anguirus then raised a brow again.

Anguirus: Okay that's concerning. I assume the story of the land ends with the kaiju losing his control or something by losing a battle, or dying in such one.

Jakory: W-well i'll get to that. You see attackers came from an unknown place and for an unknown reason. As such the legendary kaiju fortified a kaiju army. Some of them he recruited for himself. Others however he created.

Anguirus listened closer. The story to him was intriguing. A kaiju creating other kaiju for war? Something didn't add up though. Just how could this happen?

Anguirus: How did he create kaiju? And it sound like doing so is like playing God or something… You sure an army of angels didn't come down from heaven, and you're mixing up the good guy with the bad guy from the actual winner of this ancient war or something?

Jakory raised a finger to speak, but was stunned by Anguirus's statement, and argument.

Jakory: Well even I wouldn't know that, but by history it sounds like whoever the opposers were they came to harvest the power of the legendary kaiju. However, the kaiju he developed were called colossi.

Anguirus: Colossi? They must be called that because their friggin huge….

Jakory nods and makes an odd smile to Anguirus. Anguirus frowns at the smile. Something about this sounded dangerous to him, and Jakory didn't get it.

Jakory: Why yes you'd be correct about that. They were created as fleshy golems made out of stone, plants, and the earth itself. They were called colossi because of their massive size. However, they were slow and lumbering they simply could not keep up with the speed of the opposing army's forces. However, all hope was not lost. Not yet. The legendary kaiju came across a power an even greater one to help in his war effort. He summoned undead army to aid him.

Anguirus's eye widened, and he shivered slightly. The sound of the undead creeped him out.

Anguirus: Uh… Jakory… the undead aren't usually a good thing… Like ever… And where did he even get this power anyways?...

Jakory: That part of the story is still unknown to me and other kaiju. Like it was lost in history over many years. However, why they were called undead is unknown to me. They certainly weren't zombies a the legend doesn't describe them consuming flesh. And they couldn't be vampires as the legend doesn't describe them consuming blood of others either. They were referred to as the cursed undead however.

Anguirus's eyes widened again and he shook his palms at Jakory.

Anguirus: Okay. Listen to what you just said. "Cursed" undead. " Cursed". Not heroic, not beloved, not sacred. Cursed. That's not a good thing to be cursed…. So these undead are still the bad guys.

Jakory shook his head.

Jakory: No no no… Listen to me. They fought alongside the legendary kaiju in a war against other kaiju that wished to destroy the peace that was made in the Himalayas. The Himalayas are sacred ground because of this legendary war. You don't seem to understand that the humans with assistance of the kaiju created Shambala.

Anguirus: Wait you know where Shambhala is?...

Jakory shook his head.

Jakory: Nope the location of Shambhala was lost to history, and forgotten by time. It is said that many kaiju died fighting for these lands. They are cursed after all by the war. Many signs of war are present all over the Himalayas.

Anguirus frowned deepened as his eyes got closer to each other.

Anguirus: Okay, Jakory you just said that the Himalayas were sacred. How can they be sacred and at the same time be friggin cursed?...

Jakory gulped and became more visibly nervous. He knew Anguirus was becoming more and more suspicious of his story. He tried thinking of more reasons to keep Anguirus's interest in the story.

Jakory: Well they are sacred for a good reason. Many battles were fought over control of the land, and as such many kaiju died. Or rather since they were undead they became just dead.

Anguirus: Yeah or they were always just evil dead…. Why is it also cursed then?...

Jakory: Well anyone who treads the land will surely the signs of war. The bones, and remnants of war such as old armor and weaponry exist. It is considered an offence to tread the land without paying respects to the deceased.

Anguirus looked to the right to think on respecting the dead. To him it sounded like the unexplored parts of the Himalayas are a giant graveyard for kaiju. For all Anguirus knew this place could be haunted. He looked back at Jakory right into his eyes which caused Jakory to flinch a little.

Anguirus: Okay then Jakory. How did this kaiju die then? Or let me guess this was also lost to history…

Jakory then nodded quickly and nervously to Anguirus.

Jakory: Y-yeah…. B-but it's never been stated in legend that the kaiju died. He was placed into a tomb for an unknown reason.

Jakory spoke quickly and stuttered often. Anguirus could tell he was making Jakory nervous. He didn't much like the lack in confidence. He didn't much trust this. Anguirus thought the unknown parts of Jakory's story were just him covering up something he didn't want to reveal. However, there was no way Jakory came to the island just to make up a story, and tell Anguirus it. Even Anguirus knew Jakory was too loyal to Jr, and even went so far to call him king. Not a thing for kaiju to call other kaiju without causing argument.

Anguirus: I don't mean to sound so judgemental and all Jakory, but I'm having real trust issues with you right now. I don't know if this is real info you are telling me right now, or if you are just bullshitting me… This sound really Goddamn dangerous….

Jakory sighed, and raised his hand in a gesture to explain his story. Even he knew this was a lot to take in. He brought his hand together to explain his information to the fullest.

Jakory: I know this is hard to take in. Yes it does sound dangerous. But I assure you the information i'm giving you is legitimate. Its real I swear it is.

Anguirus huffed, and raised a brow again. He pointed his left index finger at Jakory.

Anguirus: Okay then tell me…. Where did you get this information?...

Jakory remains silent. He raises himself a bit taller while sitting, and he taps the claws on both of his hand together in a nervous gesture.

The lack of an answer get Anguirus to become more suspicious. He read Jakory's body language like a book. He even noticed Jakory looking around the beach for an excuse to get out, or find something to distract Anguirus's suspicions. Unfortunately for him there were only trees blowing in the gentle morning breeze.

Anguirus: Well Jakory? Where'd you get the information?...

Jakory tapped his claws together faster in a nervous gesture. Anguirus as a reaction raises hi left brow, and slowly loses his patience with the kaiju.

Anguirus: Jakory….

Jakory: Anguirus it's real. I swear it is.

Anguirus: Then where did you get it from?...

Jakory looks around again with his eyes not pointing his face away from Anguirus as he knows that if he looks around again the deal he is making will surely be over.

Jakory: Okay look…. I got it from various people. From various sources. Don't ask where they got it from because they never told me.

Anguirus lightened his glare at Jakory, and moves his head back satisfied, but still wanting to know more.

Anguirus: Okay then. But who were these people.

Jakory then bit his lip and widened his eyes. He began clicking his claws again more nervous. Anguirus sighed and frowned while moving his neck forward as he knew it made Jakory more nervous when he did the action. Anguirus was already figuring out Jakory was a shy kaiju, and could be easily exploited through a little pressure. Thankfully for Jakory Anguirus has no bad motives in his mind.

Jakory: I can't exactly tell you their names… But I swear I know this information to be true since I've been to the Himalayas myself. This i do not lie on.

Anguirus frowns deeper thinking Jakory was getting involved with "riff-raff" and is now trying to get other involved with it like some kind of recruitment. Anguirus clearly didn't much like it.

Anguirus was about to speak again before he heard Jr's footsteps coming closer to his from his right.

Jr himself still had his eye half closed and yawned once more before he spotted Jakory ahead of him. It was one of the few times he actually saw Jakory on the island. Je smiled slightly as he saw Jakory as a friendly kaiju. Just one who won't stop worshiping him unfortunately.

Jakory on sight of Jr immediately lowers himself closer to the sands of the beach, bowing his head down, and making no eye contact in respect at Jr's presence.

Jakory: My king...

Jr rolled his eyes and groaned in annoyance. All he was simply walk up to Jakory, and already he was praising Jr.

Jr: Jakory, man, I told you already this isn't necessary. We're all equals here.

Jakory still didn't raise himself, and Jr sighs.

Jr: Okay you can stop bowing now… I'm good.

Jakory upon Jr's request to stop bowing lifted himself up. Jr finally smiled, and patted Jakory on the head 3 times gently. Jr then looked over at Anguirus, and walked in front of him to talk.

Jr: So what's up, Angy?

Anguirus looks up at Jr, and sighs in some concern over the information Jakory told him. Information that Jr might actually find interest in.

Anguirus: Uh… Jakory told me some information regarding your kaiju theory.

Jr's eyes widened at this, and a smile on his face slowly formed. His tail even wagged slightly. It wasn't often someone came to the island to talk about Jr's theory. His interest was already caught.

Jr: Well then let's hear it.

Jr turned his attention to Jakory.

Jr: What do you have for me Jakory?

Jakory opened his mouth to speak, but Anguirus interrupted him, and spoke for him.

Anguirus: Well he said that info might be in some tomb of some legendary kaiju. Somewhere in the Himalayas.

Jr's grin increased. To him this sounded like an adventure to a new place. He was aching to get off of the island already however. It had been a while since he went off of the island for a good reason besides to collect uranium.

Jr looked over and walked a bit closer to Jakory, and kneeled down to get on his level. Jakory tilted his head at Jr's gesture. It confused him because Jr was lowering himself to a lower level. Not the other way around.

Jr: Well go on Jakory I'm listening. This sounds cool.

Jakory smiled getting out of his nervous behavior he previously wore. Finally the kaiju he wanted to talk to was listening.

Jakory: Well, this place is a tomb in the Himalayas. The kaiju was extremely power and yet benevolent. He helped kaiju and humans alike settle into the mountainous ranges. Unfortunately for the kaiju the good times never lasted as he was invaded by an unknown force so he had to create his own army of colossal sized kaiju. You can call them colossi.

Jr then sat down in front of Jakory gaining interest as he listened on. Jr might as well called it story time.

Jr: I've been in need of a good story, and an adventure. It's not like they just waltz up to you, and tell you to go on them. Unless you being here is that exact thing.

Jr and Jakory shared a brief chuckle while Anguirus watched anxiously. He was at least glad Jr was making friends, but Jr didn't see the danger at hand. Jakory didn't even tell him of the cold mountains.

Jakory: Well if it's adventure you're looking for what I tell you may give you one.

Jr: Go on then. I wanna hear.

Jakory: Yes well. The colossi didn't work out as intended by their massive easy to hit size and their slow movement speed. However, a new hope came along for the legendary kaiju when he was given the ability to command an undead army to his will.

Jr's head tilted, but he didn't show the same worry that Anguirus did when Jakory mentioned the undead.

Jr: So… Zombies?... He chose zombies over massive kaiju?

Jakory: Well not exactly zombies, or even vampires. I believe it means that the kaiju had once been alive, had died, but had been risen back to life.

Jr thought on how many the times he died already. There was that time he was killed by Destoroyah, and then the time he had fought Kiryu which was 50 meters taller than him at the time, but Jr still one, but not without gaining his signature chest scar from an absolute zero blast. His heart had stopped once before restarting itself while he healed from his injury.

Jr: Hmph…. Been there done that….

Jr thought on Jakory's story, and rubbed his chin. It was interesting to him, but some pieces still were missing from it. Perhaps something Jakory didn't yet explain. How did the confrontation end? How did this kaiju suddenly get the ability to raise the dead? But most of all, What does this have to do with the kaiju resurgence?

Jr: Well this is interesting and all Jakory, but how does this go along with my theory?

Jakory nodded quickly.

Jakory: Oh yes well, I assumed you were going to be curious on that. Well the legend states the kaiju never really died, or was even killed. He was put into a tomb to rest, but it is unknown why. It is just as your theory is trying to find the answer to why the kaiju suddenly went into hibernation, but no answer has come to you yet. Correct?

Jr nodded to Jakory. The story Jakory told him did line up with his desire to know why the kaiju suddenly went into hibernation. Even Jakory himself has no memory of why he went into hibernation.

Jr: Yeah that's right. So what you're getting at is that why would a powerful kaiju such as this one go into rest just so abruptly which is like why i'm trying to figure out why the kaiju went into hibernation?

Jakory: Uh-huh. And I believe the answer lies within his tomb.

Jr's eyes widened. This is exactly what he was looking for. If what Jakory was telling him was true he could finally solve the mystery, and then pass it on to other kaiju.

Jr: Well I'm definitely interested. Let's give this a shot. If its info i need then I'm going to get it.

Jakory then grinned widely, and then exhaled a massive breath in relief. The person he wished the information to get to had just believed and is willing to follow his information. Jakory started shaking excitedly again.

Anguirus however sighed at Jr's dense nature. He wasn't thinking of the possible dangers this trip would bring, or the amount of time this would even take. They could be gone for days with no one to watch over the island. He frowned in concern.

Anguirus then heard the familiar whistling sound that was Rodan soaring, and getting closer to the beach. Just by the sound alone Anguirus knew Rodan was coming in for a landing onto the beach.

Rodan swooped downwards then used his wings to slow himself down before he touched down onto the beach. After being a couple dozen meters above the sand of the beach he flapped his wings to make a gentle landing letting his feet rest on the soft sand. He then looked at Anguirus.

Rodan: what up fool?

Anguirus walked up to Rodan and gave him a fist pump as they both chuckled.

Anguirus: Well a lot is up right now Rody. But tell me about your morning. You had to have some fun last night.

Rodan huffed at Anguirus and he rolled his eyes. He shook his head and frowned in recollection of his morning waking up alone and somewhat abandoned.

Rodan: Oh gee. It was was amazing and fun until I woke up all alone again just like always… Bitch…

Anguirus then groaned at Rodan's morning. Unfortunately even Anguirus knew this isn't the first time this has happened to Rodan. This is a frequent occurrence for him, and as such he had gotten used to it. Or at least that's what Rodan tries to make the other kaiju believe.

Anguirus: Dammit Rody… You have to find a new lifestyle for yourself man…

Rodan looked away and crossed his wings while he frowned. He didn't like being told what to do.

Rodan: Pfft... Man fuck you… My lifestyle is fine….

Jr then looked at Rodan with a raised brow disappointed in him.

Jr: Dude if you keep letting this happen to yourself no girl is going to respect you…

Rodan: They already don't respect me…

Jr shook his head and shrugged if he kept pressing on Rodan like this he knew Rodan would cry. Poor guy.

Jr: Just- whatever at least put a price on your dick or something i'm still talking to Jakory here.

Jr knelt down again to Jakory's level to speak to him.

Jr: Well is there anything else we need to know about this place?

Jakory began shaking with excitement yet again to Jr listening to his advice. Jakory had a wide smile on his face and even wagged his boney tail on the sand shifting the sediment back and forth on the beach. Jr chuckled a bit and made a slight smile of his own.

Jakory: Why yes. I have a bit more information for you. One such piece of info is where the tomb is located, and what I believe what other kaiju had described its appearance for me.

Jr grinned anxiously awaiting for where this place may be located. Anguirus however looked on at the two having a conversation a bit nervous still.

Jakory: Okay so. The tomb as described to me has red arches acting as a massive shrine matching the Tibetan architecture. The arches themselves would be made of wood. They should surround a stone door with the Tibetan language engraved on the stone, and the Arches should be on the left, right, and the top of the stone door.

Jr took in each and every detail Jakory described to him. Jr however didn't understand human language in any dialect verbally, and barely knew how to read the language either. Writing by the humans only looked like strange markings to him in any language.

Jr: Well I guess I'll just have to look for the human's writings then. It all just looks like scribbles and etching to me. I sorta can't read…

Jakory then got a bit concerned for jr being able to find the tomb. If he couldn't read, or even distinguish one language from another then how could he possibly find the tomb?

Jakory: Well you've been to cities I prosume. Well wait of course you have you've waged war against the humans, and even fought battles in their cities. I'm sure you can find the ancient human construction where they built into the mountains. The architecture is unique for the region, and the mountains are largely unpopulated by the humans.

Jr looked away slightly embarrassed, and made a nervous half smile. Jakory's fears only grew with Jr acting like this.

Jr: I sorta can't tell the differences in human architecture look like either. It all looks the same to me. They build a building I knock it down sorta thing…. Anguirus would know what the tibetan architecture in the mountains would look like probably more than me… Right Angy?

Jr and Jakory both looked back at Anguirus with different expressions. Jakory with a nervous stare hoping Anguirus wouldn't be as dense headed as Jr was, and Jr looking at Anguirus with a smile knowing Anguirus would always have an answer.

Anguirus sighed, and looked back at Jr's eyes. He did have an answer. He just didn't want to say it because he didn't trust the information being given to him currently.

Anguirus: Yeah I should know what it looks like. Weird upwards curved arches. Right?

Jakory let out a long heavy sigh of relief Anguirus knew what he was talking about.

Jakory: Yeah that's it Angy. And as for where it is; it should be located in the southern part of the mountain ranges. It's a little bit on the outskirts, but still deep enough in the ranges where the mountains get their famous height.

Jr then nods to the information given to him, and places his right hand on the sand with his palm facing upwards so he can have Jakory do a handshake. Jakory lifted his left hand from the ground, and nearly gave Jr a shake, but Rodan thought of something just as Jakory lowered his left hand.

Rodan: Hey wait a second. If it's a tomb we're looking the won't it be like guarded or something?...

Every other kaiju on the beach looked at Rodan with a squinted confused look at first. Jakory swore under his breath as he didn't want Rodan ruining the trip he wanted the group to go on. Jr thought of something different however.

Jr: What are you talking about Rodan? It a tomb what could possibly be guarding it? It's ancient man… Anyone guarding that tomb is probably dead.

Rodan simply shrugged, but noticed Jakory shaking nervously.

Rodan: Well I mean. You don't know what dangers there are. Like what kaiju are in the region. Or you know the tomb itself. How do you know if some guy is like guarding it. You know to prevent grave robbers and stuff.

Anguirus did a double take at Rodan's statement. For once Rodan had a point about something. Anguirus himself almost forgot to ask about the dangers involved. Now he felt stupid. Anguirus looked back at Jakory, and cleared his throat to get his attention.

Anguirus: Yeah Jakory. Exactly what kinda dangerous are there with raiding a guy's tomb huh?

Jakory stepped back and flinched at Anguirus's distrust. He was about to look up at Jr to defend him, but his heart sunk into his chest once he saw Jr himself was looking at Jakory looking for answer.

Jr: Oh yeah. Jakory what could we see when going on this trip that you know might be dangerous?

Jakory gulped. This was going to go one of two ways for him. Either they would see the possible dangerous and take that into account when going on the trip, or, in Jakory's mind, they would think he was trying to kill them, and he would be exiled from their circle of trust. He saw their stares looking for some kind of answer. He could have just lied and said they wouldn't have to deal with any dangerous apart from what he had told Anguirus already, but he wasn't a liar. Furthermore, he didn't actually want to see them killed.

Jakory: Okay yeah. You got me. There are going to some obstacles to climb over.

Jr then stopped any kind of smile on his face, and made a more serious expression thinking about what he might face.

Jr: Well tell us then.

Jakory in a nervous fit hesitated to answer, but he began walking around in a circle on the sand leaving his footprints in the sand.

Jakory: Well for one the region is extremely cold, and the terrain is hard to traverse.

Rodan rolled his eyes at that statement of danger unphased.

Rodan: Oh please I can fly so high ce forms on the tips of my wings dude, and anything I can't cross I can just fly over.

Anguirus heard Rodan's response to the dangers, and frowned at his oblivious nature.

Anguirus: Well Rody you might be able to fly, but me and the kid you see… We can't… And you should know this by now.

Jr then crossed his arms to look at Rodan with one raised brow.

Jr: Dude. Even if you can just fly over the mountains you're going to have to come down eventually to join me and Angy. Oh and I don't want the humans shooting you down either man. They shoot you down over the mountains, and you break your wings you're gonna be gone…

Jakory sighed in relief when he saw that the judgment was being redirected onto Rodan, and he even stopped walking around in his nervous circle. Rodan rolled eyes however. Once again he was being put down for saying literally anything so he thought.

However, Jakory's relief was short lived when the attention reverted back to him.

Jr: Okay we can deal with tough terrain. The cold though i'm not too sure about. I think i'm warm blooded, but i never actually figured that out.

Rodan squinted at Jr confused.

Rodan: You don't know if you're warm blooded or not?...

Jr shrugged.

Jr: Nope never figured it out. Never felt like it was important.

Rodan scoffed in disbelief by making a short laugh. Even Anguirus thought that was a little odd.

Anguirus: Well do you ever go out into the sun, and just lay down for a little while, catch the sun ray on your plates, and then go back into the shade when you get too hot?

Jr shrugged again, and looked at his dorsal plates. He tilted his head at them because he never actually figured out their purpose.

Jr: Uh. I do that alot. Like every day besides the going back into shade part. Sometime I just stay the whole day in my, or one of your guys's caves. Or sometimes a take a nap under the ocean waters, which feel cool, but I don't go into the sun immediately afterwards. I don't know man….

Rodan chuckled at something.

Rodan: Goji I wouldn't worry about being too hot all the time. After all you are one of the most well built kaiju I have seen. Witness those muscles!

Jr looked at his arms. He did try to keep his build up, but he didn't know it was actually his dna's genetic code that built his so muscular.

Jr: Yeah thanks. As for the dorsal plates I have no clue what those are for.

Anguirus cringed at a thought of what they definitely could be though.

Anguirus: I hope to god they aren't a way to attract mates….

Rodan then made a long laughing fit at Anguirus's comment, and even grabbed his chest with one hand; except Jr blushed and looked back at the plates with a scowl. He really hated anything that pointed him into the direction of being an animal even if it helped him getting laid.

Jr: Ergh god… Yeah now I hope they are used to collect the sun's heat….

Anguirus: I think you should learn more about your biology, kid. But for right now we gotta learn what other dangers we could see. Jakory what else is there?

Jr huffed, but looked back at Jakory who again became nervous by their questioning, and judging stares.

Jakory: O-other d-dangers I would watch out for the guard kaiju that live in the region. They sorta b-block outsiders from entering areas that are too sacred, or treasure they wish to guard from raiders.

Rodan made a large grin as he was right about something.

Rodan: Ah! See I was right about people trying to stop grave robbers, and Tomb Raiders.

Jr nodded in agreement understanding other kaiju trying to preserve history, and keeping some kind of respect for the dead.

Jr: Anything else?

Jakory made a shaken, and rapid nod.

Jakory: Y-yeah… You may encounter colossi. As I explained Anguirus these are the massive golem kaiju made from stone, dirt, and given flesh to live. The ones that have massive proportions.

Jr frowned. Jakory this whole time has kept any dangers to himself, but he needed Rodan to get him to talk about dangers. Jr knew he was a kaiju, and he was already at massive proportions compared to other life on earth. What could be considered massive to a kaiju like himself?

Jr: How big we talking?

Jakory saw Jr's frowned and began shaking cowardly at what he perceived as negative attention.

Jakory: W-well. Largest I've heard described to me in l-legend was 200 to 250 meters tall.

Jr's eyes widened at the proportions Jakory was describing to him. Jr didn't think kaiju could even reach that height. Jr began trying to think of what such a massive beast may even look like, and even sound like. Part of Jr wanted to go to the Himalayas just to see the colossi described to him ignoring the danger. Although part of him did become fearful when he realized he might have to fight something that large.

Rodan himself had a similar reaction, but it was one of fear. At that height there wasn't much he could do to fight. He then thought how at that height the beasts might as well have just struck him out of the sky.

Rodan: H-holy shit, man. That's friggin huge. Like that's too damn big. And these live around the mountains?...

Jr rolled his eyes at Rodan's fears again. He looked back at Jakory.

Jr: Well they definitely sound pretty tough to fight. What kind of fighting style or ranged attacks do they have in case we also try to range battle?

Jakory stopped shaking a bit when he still found that Jr was still curious to learn more of what he'll probably face.

Jakory: Well thankfully to you they are slow and lumbering. As for ranged attacks that can very from them firing lasers out of their eyes or blasting energy from their hands or chests.

Jr nodded taking in the detail. Anguirus asked the next question as he couldn't fight in ranged fights as he lacked any ranged abilities.

Anguirus: Well how strong are the ranged attacks would you say?

Jakory: Well that really depends on the collosus you are talking about. They shouldn't cause much damage knowing how much you three have been through.

Anguirus looked down at himself looking at his tough skin. There were a few scars on his body on places such as his chest and legs from his years of fighting, and usually losing. For some reason however he never let that get to him. He might not have the hyper regenerative powers like that of a godzillian, but he could be more durable than one.

He then looked more confidently at Jr's body. Jr's skin compared to Anguirus's was way more rough in texture. His biology however wouldn't allow him to hold permanent scars. All except the one on his chest he received from Kiryu. It seems his body would only hold on the wounds that were made deep enough into his body. It wasn't the scar Anguirus looked at though. It was the fact Jr could take just as much of a beating as Anguirus without quitting, and even win still.

Jr caught Anguirus looking at him, and he raised a brow. Anguirus then directed his attention to Rodan. He already knew Rodan wasn't as well of a fighter as him or Jr, and lacked the strength of the two. But where Rodan lacked strength he made up for it in speed and quick thinking. Rodan himself didn't have many scars on him besides small cuts in his skin, but those long since healed. Rodan himself knew he'd been through alot and could take a beating. His ribs after all had been broken before. The only problem however if he was too injured he couldn't fly. Thankfully he had friends to support him.

Anguirus looked back at Jakory knowing whatever ranged attacks the colossi could throw at the group couldn't be too bad.

Anguirus: Alright Jakory so there's colossi. Anything else we should be worried about?

Jakory made a short nod.

Jakory: Yeah. be wary of the possibilities of the cursed undead that roam the region. Anguirus i believe i told you-

Rodan yelped slightly and his eyes widened just like Anguirus's when Anguirus was told about the undead.

Rodan: Uh-uh! No fucking way! I am not getting bit by an zombie kaiju, or getting lobotomized just so something that is already dead can have full stomach.

Jakory frowned and Rodan and sighed knowing he'd have to explain the undead to him. Except Rodan was still on a rant.

Jakory: Rodan, the legend doesn't-

Rodan: Shit man the zombie probably won't even have a stomach in them. It could have rotted out of their body a fcuking long time ago, and they only eat brains because it's like a drug to them.

Jakory: Look what I'm trying to say is-

Rodan: That's not even the worst of it. If they get ahold of me I'll no doubt get friggin bit, and I'll be walking among the dead as an animated bird-corpse-thing. I don't want to know what being a zombie feels like. I never did. I just want to fly, and live.

Jakory looked at Anguirus for help to get Rodan out of his scared rambling. Anguirus shrugged his soldiers and cringed a little knowing how long Rodan could go on rants for. Jr only looked at Rodan slightly amused.

Rodan: I didn't even get to vampires man. I once saw this bat kaiju, and i fell out of the sky I was so damn scared. I didn't know what to do. If that thing landed on my back and bit my neck you'd have the world's first bird-bat vampire. And that's too bad for me since I love the sun. I too stupid to remember if i'm a vampire or not, and i'll walk out into the sun like a fucking idiot without even helping the vampire army. I'll just be fucking ash, man. I don't want to die like that….

Jr opened his mouth to get Rodan to calm down so he could hear more of Jakory's reasoning, but Rodan only continued his ramble.

Rodan: Oh man! I haven't even brought up if there are zombie vampires. What would that be like? "I vant to suck your flesh." What would it be eating people or sucking blood. Would it be sunlight or a damaged brain to make an undead fully dead? Shit I haven't even brought up fucking werewolves yet… Wait are Werewolves undead? Someone answer me!

Jakory sighed at Rodan's panicking, and became worried his fear would spread amongst the other kaiju on the beach. He rolled his eyes once he realized he would once again need to explain the undead to the kaiju. Thankfully Jr was there to receive the information Jakory was going to explain.

Jakory: No… Rodan, the legends never say that the undead have consume the flesh or blood of the living. The term undead only means they were raised from the to walk the earth as really an animated and sentient corpse. Although that really varies with the who acted as the necromancer, and what purpose the undead served.

Jr nodded more confidently at Jakory's reasoning seeing no reason to fear the kaiju he described. The walking corpse description creeped him out a little, but Jr in his life had seen some terrible things acting as king of the monsters. He still remembered the murdered kaiju he was supposed to help dig up. What's worse he remembered how the humans had desecrated the grave of a member of his species by taking the Godzillian's bones, and putting them in a machine body to puppeteer it making a literal animated corpse.

Jr: Ergh… i think I'll get over that. Not exactly the worst I've heard of. So Rodan it's fine. They aren't going to eat your flesh and turn you into a lifeless walker. Got it?

Rodan nodded slowly, but he still wore a thousand yard stare on his face from being creeped out. Jr rolled his eyes, but patted Rodan on the side of this right wing.

Jr: Oh Rody what i going to do with you?...

Jr then thinks on what Jakory had said to him. All the dangers he had described did make him a little cautious of going to the Himalayas. He hummed to himself as he rubbed his chin in thought and concentration.

Were the undead really that big of an issue to him? He was an excellent fighter. He knew hand to hand methods and techniques as well as being able to perform close quarters combat maneuvers. That and he was capable of doing ranged battle.

Then again even if he was good at fighting there was still Rodan and Anguirus he had to worry about.

He decided to get an expert's opinion. Jr looked back at Anguirus.

Jr: Angy what do you think?

Anguirus flinched for a moment because he wasn't expecting Jr to actually check back with him for an opinion of any kind. Although his mind was set on the danger, and he didn't exactly trust what Jakory had said to him.

Anguirus: I don't really know kid…. The Place we are going to is cold and hard to move through.

Jr rolled his eyes and huffed.

Jr: It's going to take a bit more than a little cold to stop me. Come on Angy. I've never been to this place before, and I want to see it.

Anguirus sighs knowing he might not be able to talk Jr out of it knowing how persistent he is.

Anguirus: We don;t know what kaiju are here in this place, and how dangerous they could be kid. Come on you should know to be cautious.

Jr: Yeah fine I'll be carefull. You know I can handle myself. I'm not 50 meters anymore.

Anguirus looked down knowing Jr is a full adult now, and that he wasn't really a kid anymore despite Anguirus calling him "kid". He also knew he was more powerful now, but that didn't help Anguirus's trust Jr wouldn't get hurt if they went for this trip.

Anguirus: Look kid i just don't want you to get hurt.

Jr: I won't get hurt. I can handle myself.

Jr then grinned at a thought in his head. He knew one way to win Anguirus over.

Jr: come on uncle Angy….

Rodan's eyes widened when Jr called Anguirus uncle again. It had been a while and Rodan covered his mouth to hold both his shocked look and smile.

Anguirus however made a pleasant smile at what Jr called him reminding him of Jr's younger years. Anguirus looked up at Rodan for advice on this.

Rodan: Hey man don't look at me on this. Hmph. "uncle Angy".

Anguirus sighs and looks back at the anxious and hopeful eyes of Jr thinking of just how many fights Jr has been through already, and how aggressive he can be at times. His partial aggressive side could get him into trouble and Anguirus knows it well. It had already gotten him into trouble with the humans leading to Jr to get a battle scar from them.

Anguirus moved down from Jr's eyes to look at his chest scar. It was the only permanent scar he had. The other lesser scars would simply go away when Jr shed his skin periodically. The scar on his chest was a symbol to Anguirus that Jr wasn't fully indestructible.

Despite all this though anguirus knew Jr was a good fighter, and that scars were just a part of his fights and defending himself. He doesn't usually fight either unless he has a good reason to fight in the first place. That and Anguirus knew him and Rodan would be at Jr's side to support him.

Anguirus sighs and then nods with a slight smile. He looks back up at Jr's eyes.

Anguirus: Alrighty kid, you wanna go on this trip? Then let's go.

Jr and Jakory's eyes both widen. Jakory let out a massive gust of wind as his breath knowing he had convinced the man with the final say on the subject. It was a massive sigh of relief and partial joy they were listening to his words.

Jr however was excited that he would be going to a new and unexplored place. One at least unexplored by him. He wagged his tail with joy.

Jr; YES! Thank you Angy! Thank you!

Anguirus smiled seeing Jr's joy. He was like a kid again. However, he needed to know if Rodan was going along. He looked back at Rodan.

Anguirus: Rody man, you coming along? We might need you on this man.

Rodan huffed and crossed his arms.

Rodan: You kidding? Of course i'm coming. Nothing for me to do here anyways… Why'd yah even ask you know I go on these. Sometimes…

Anguirus nodded and smiled a bit knowing Rodan was loyal, and would follow along in the trip. Rodan though was more bored of the island sometimes, and is going through relationship troubles again. In his head he just wants to get away from the island now.

Anguirus: Alrighty we got the 3 man team.

Anguirus then looked over at Jakory.

Anguirus: I guess you're coming along too right? I mean this whole thing was your idea.

Jakory's short relief went away immediately when Anguirus Asked his question. It wasn't one he was expecting and one he knew he couldn't answer positively. Anguirus noticed Jakory becoming nervous again, and sighed. He however let jakory answer.

Jakory: I uh…. I would rather stay here on the island for…. A while?

Jr the n tilted his head, but more in a confused manner.

Jr: Why so? We could use another hand in this.

Jakory: I-i-it's personal. I would just rather stay here if that's okay with you. Its free to stay here isn't it?

Jr nodded.

Jr: Yeah its always free to stay here.

Jakory then sighed in relief. He rubbed a part of his face as well.

Jakory: Okay. Good its free. I'll stay here for the time being.

Anguirus frowned glaring with distrust at Jakory. It was very suspicious of the kaiju not to come along as it was his idea to go on the trip in the first place. Anguirus grumbled a bit as well.

However, Anguirus himself agreed to going and couldn't say no now.

Anguirus: Okay. Let's go guys. Time's-a-wastin.

Jr: When do we leave?

Anguirus made a smile to Jr.

Anguirus: Whenever you want, kid.

Jr then looked past Jakory at the blue ocean.

Jr: Then I saw we go right now. Come on!

Rodan himself was surprised by how how fast thing were moving and Jr's motivation to get going. He shrugged though.

Rodan: Well alright. I guess now is now.

Rodan then beat his wings down sending him going airborne while Anguirus followed Jr into the ocean.

With that they traveled many hours to get to the Himalayas.

….

In India on a beach in west bengal on the resort village of Mandarmani, the Sun had finally peaked in the sky spreading its light and heat on the land of India. People on the beach watch the waves of the Indian ocean collide with the tan color sand near the resort. Some were sunbathing on the sand. The waters were calm, and the waves that came in were always consistent.

A small rusted out red fishing boat 500 meters out from the beach was bring home its catch of fish. No kaiju had bothered the small boat for its catch of fish, and the crew on the boat had their moment of relief knowing the job was risky business in these times. It floated slowly towards it intended destination to deliver its cargo, and the crew awaiting their pay check.

However, unfortunately for the crew of the boat their normal day and normal procedure is about to change for them.

The radar of the boat detected massive signatures getting closer at a quick pace. The captain of the medium vessel, who was dressed in a while ballcap, overalls and a grey hoodie, saw 3 blinking blips on the screen of the radar, and began to panic. He didn't speak a word of english, or even was in a part of the world where kaiju attacks were common, but just looking at the screen sent panic through his body.

His heart raced as he went to port side outside of the rusted old ship and his eyes widened while his heat felt like it wanted to jump out of his chest while he stood there helpless like a deer caught in headlights.

The sight he and the rest of his crew saw were Jr's dorsal plates slinging through the water ominously approaching the beach to make a definite landfall in India. Behind Jr though was Anguirus who was not as good of a swimmer as Jr and as such he had to keep his head pointed upwards out of the water while he panted. Rodan behind them flew at a much slower pace than normal for some odd reason.

Although soon the boat and its crew weren't the only ones to see the 3 kaiju as beach goers and people near the resort made a break for their lives. They all ran in the opposite direction as if two of the same side of a magnet were being placed together.

Thankfully for the boat Jr's dorsal plates caused only a massive wave in the water from his disturbance. Although the crew of the boat held onto the railing on the portside of the boat while the captain ran inside to hold onto the wheel of the vessel. Those who couldn't find something to hold onto for dear life fell over from the imbalance their bodies experienced from the waves.

People on the beach still ran away running away while screaming and pointing at Jr's dorsal plates, but Jr stopped his approach.

Jr then raised his head out of the water letting the liquid fall off of his face like a waterfall. He shook his head spraying a rain shower of salt water back to the ocean and some even hitting the beach that was still a ways away.

Jr didn't continue moving forward however, and neither did Anguirus. In fact Rodan landed in the ocean water beating his wings downwards to give himself a more gentle landing not to make the water splash too much on his red body, and letting the cool aquamarine colored water go up to his knees.

\

Anguirus looked back at Jr while he stood in the water by Jr's left. Jr himself looked at the running people. Anguirus understood what Jr was doing.

Anguirus: You giving them a head start before you start destroying?...

Jr nodded to Anguirus. The unfortunate thing of being a kaiju was that he was born too big and too strong. If he didn't let the humans run he would no doubt cause deaths he didn't want right now.

Jr: It's not like I want to destroy them right now. Only when they deserve it…. These one are innocent.

Jr frowned and growled to the humans. He hated however when they did this. No human had ever dared getting close to him much to Jr's own dismay. He was honestly curious what they looked like up close, and what their thoughts were. He had a hidden desire to know more about them. Unfortunately they had no desire to ever get close to him, and automatically feared him. Though, part of that was his own fault for destroying their cities for a long time. He understood that part as well.

Jr: They always run….. It's all they're good for….

However, something bothered Jr that he was in front of the other two kaiju, and he wasn't even the fastest one there. He looked back at Rodan and tilted his head confused.

Jr: hey Rody… Why weren't you the first one here today?

Rodan only shrugged the shoulders on his wings.

Rodan: I dunno. Didn't feel like flying so fast today.

Jr scoffed at Rodan's odd remark. At least it was odd for him to say.

Jr: Not flying fast? Dude, I thought you were all for speed.

Rodan shrugged pointing both palms upwards with turned hands and a half smirk.

Rodan: What can I say? I didn't have a good morning.

Anguirus sighed not wanting Jr to get too involved with Rodan's personal lady issue, and gestured for Jr to stop asking questions and focus on the mission at hand. Jr nodded, and looked back at the beach to which he saw most of the humans had cleared out leaving only the tan sand, an empty resort and palm trees. Jr and the other two kaiju continued their approach lifting their legs in the water splashing salt water upwards.

The resort itself was rectangular in shape with clay burnt orange shingles with pinkish tan walls. Outside was a paved sidewalk surrounded on each side by rows of spherical bushes. Jr didn't pay much attention though to the human architecture. In fact in his mind all the humans' building designs and styles looked the same to him. They would all get destroyed by his massive size anyways. Might as well not pay attention.

Jr took the first step on the wet sand leaving a giant imprint of his footprint at least 7 feet deep. Water dripped off of his black body and his rough skin soaking the beach further. Anguirus and Rodan soon followed Jr onto the beach. Anguirus shook himself off like a dog shaking his head and neck in a circular motion letting the shaking motion travel down his body spraying water left and right.

Some of the water hit Rodan who in turn grumbled and used his wings to shield himself.

Rodan: Could you not do that? I hate cold water…

Anguirus smirked at Rodan holding back his chuckle.

Anguirus: Whatsa matter? I thought you liked bird baths.

Anguirus and Jr then both chuckled a bit while Rodan huffed and frowned.

Rodan: I don't make stereotypes about your spikey cactus species dude so don't call me fun of mine.

Anguirus: but you just did make fun of my species.

Rodan widened his eyes, and made a massive shrug at Anguirus point the palms of his hands upwards, and being his neck lower in a manner that said "what are you going to do?".

Jr sighed at both of their bickering, and proceeded to move more inland towards where he believed the Himalayas were. He walked in a northerly direction while Rodan and Anguirus followed behind.

The first destructive action Jr made was to topple over several buildings, made of concrete, that were in his way turning them to nothing more than rubble and dust scattered in random directions under his feet. Some of the rubble trailed into a street in front of the building. Rodan and Anguirus didn't think much about the destruction, but they followed mostly single file behind Jr with Anguirus walking at a fair speed and all 4s. All they would do is turn the already existing rubble to pulverised pebbles and dust.

Jr once again stopped after seeing some of the humans didn't start running and decided to take photos of the kaiju on their cameras, or at least film the three of them moving out. To get them to move away from them Jr snarled and growled knowing that was what the human really wanted to do while they took photos. Somehow Jr knew the humans thought they were hiding from him, and thought they were out of his senses.

However, Jr was smarter than them. He looked right at a young Indian couple and made an intimidating snarl as he cleared out more buildings sending dust into the air, and the building's rubble to the ground. Seeing this the couple ran off to find shelter from the 3 kaiju.

As they move more inland they begin to notice the country and land around them is mostly flat, and filled with green rivers. It seemed the humans had all cleared out so they could proceed faster through the flat land.

The land itself was made up of mostly fields from the farmers. Some escaping trucks headed down unpaved dirt roads to flee from the kaiju. Some of the trucks were carrying crops such as hay slowing their escape down.

Jr passed through some of the barns. A Lot of them were made of rusted metal that when Jr kicked through broke apart due to the metal's corroded rusted state or bent at the parts the metal hadn't yet reached. Though regardless the barns all fell apart under Jr's massive feet. Anguirus just walked over jr had already destroyed dragging his back legs, and tail on the ground sliding the wreckage forwards dozens of meters. Rodan however seemed to avoid the already destroyed structures carefully either moving to the right or left while he walked along with the other two.

Rodan: Yeah no… I ain't getting Tetanus today…

Jr didn't hear Rodan's remark as he began looking around after hearing a sound that had become all too familiar with him. He raised the back of his right hand to the other two kaiju signalling them to halt their progress as he heard a sound.

The sound in turn was a repeated beating sound in the air making a loud humming echoing through the air. Jr then looked in the direction of the sounds he saw a squadron of Mil Mi-35 attack helicopters, that were a grey green color, headed into the direction of the kaiju.

Rodan heard the sounds as well, and tilted the upper part of his body to the right so h could look past Jr. He sighed though seeing the humans make an attempt to stop Jr. Something that would surely end their lives if Jr was angered.

Rodan: Aw damn… Here comes the humans guys…

Anguirus heard them coming as well, and stood up on his hind legs, letting some dirt and mud fall off of his hands. He frowned seeing them. He even tried wafting them away to try and save their lives.

Anguirus: No. Go away. You're not going to do anything anyway, but piss-

He saw Jr was looking back at him, and stopped talking knowing Jr was listening to him speak.

Anguirus: Look kid. All they're trying to do is defend themselves….

Jr raised his right brow and huffed.

Jr: You know they have no right to do this… I feel like an animal when this happens…

Anguirus: Yeah but still. You know they can't kill you or even hurt you with their weapons… Just leave em' alone…

Jr looked back at the helicopters moving into engage him, but he in turn growled and snarled at the helos. Anguirus sighed when he did this.

Anguirus: You know you ain't helping your "animal" case when you do that… Look I hate being called an animal as well, but just ignore them. Try to pretend they aren't there.

Jr opened his mouth to speak while looking back at Anguirus to argue with him, but was interrupted when machine gun fire began hitting his rough armor like skin on the right side of his face. The bullets did near nothing to him except spark when they hit his flesh. Each bullet warped and flatten once they hit Jr's flesh. The bullets then fell back down to earth not even penetrating or even embedding themselves into Jr's skin. Some of the bullets were even lucky if they would chip away at Jr's skin, or even cause a loose piece of skin to fly off.

They also seemed to focus their fire on mainly Jr himself ignoring both Anguirus and Rodan. As Jr turned his head to face the helos Rodan huffed seemingly offended they weren't firing on him.

Rodan: What am I? Chopped liver?...

Anguirus sighed knowing Jr being fired upon wouldn't end well for any human involved. He looked back at Rodan with a frown.

Anguirus: You mean you' like to be shot at by those?

Rodan shrugged and frowned.

Rodan: Well I don't even feel like they're taking me seriously… Come on I can be dangerous too…

Jr heard Rodan's remark and rolled his eyes while still being fired on. His right eye twitched slightly after a dozens of bullets began assaulting his right eye's sclera.

Jr: Well you know Rodan it's not like i want to be dangerous to them, but I have to or else they'd kill us all taking advantage. Not like I wanted to be dangerous in the first place anyways…

Jr rubbed his right eyes as it itched and burned a little from the bullets impact. Ironically this was the most the assault had to to affect him.

The helos then began backing up while proceeding with a new assault to fire onto Jr with their rocket pods. The rockets accelerated at Jr's face hitting him and exploding into orange flowers that lit his face with burning heat. The flames continued firing outwards out of the ensuing explosions, but Jr didn't even flinch. Instead he moved against the force opposing him while growling.

Rodan looked at anguirus who was in front of him and shrugged with hands raised and palms facing upwards confused. Anguirus sighed and began following Jr gesturing Rodan to do the same moving his head forwards.

Anguirus: Just stay behind the kid so you don't get caught in the fire on accident…

Rodan scoffed and crossed his arms.

Rodan: Well by the looks of it I'm already in the fucking fire right now… Goji is just our kaiju meatshield.

Jr glared back, and growled at Rodan hearing this while the bitter smelling smoke cleared from his face.

Suddenly, Jr felt the attacks on him increase in force, and he himself was caught of guard. He could feel his body move backwards slightly from the force, but held his ground refusing to be forced back. He looked to see what had hit him, and saw Indian Arjun tanks colored tan all facing his direction. He saw the turrets of the tanks were pointed up at his thighs and chest scar.

The helos however split up with two flying to the right of Jr and while the three others moved away to the left to allow the tanks to attack Jr. Jr in turn was enraged now being hit by the significantly more powerful tanks, but even their shells merely only blasted away loose, and old skin on Jr's body.

While the tanks continued their assault on Jr he charged forwards leaving his massive footprints on the earth as he continued over the farm lands. Each shell exploding on Jr's flesh only annoyed him further. Anguirus then noticed Jr making incoherent grumbling noises which usually signaled he was about to growl.

Anguirus: Easy kid… They ain't even hurting you…

Jr looked back at Anguirus, and was about to argue with him until a much bigger explosion hit him in the left side of his head, and the orange flames engulfed part of his face. The explosion knocked him back, and even managed to make him yelp. A Sukhoi Su-30MKI, grey in color, flew above Jr's head after dropping its payload onto the kaiju.

Jr stomped his foot on the ground to regain balance over his body before roaring out at the jet. Rodan winced fearing Jr's anger, and hesitated to walk forward fearing him lashing out in rage. Jr however also kept being bombarded by tank shells as this happened. He growled at the tanks while he charged forth. The tanks rotated their bodies to face backwards while Jr charged at them while they also kept their turrets pointed at the kaiju. They drove backwards creating tread marks in the dirt while still firing into Jr's body making sure to aim at Jr's chest scar.

Anguirus soon realized why the military forces were so aggressive against Jr. He looked and saw a settlement, a large one, in front of Jr while Jr made his way towards it. Tanks four hundred meters away to the east of Jr fired at his right side to get his attention, but their efforts were in vain as he only continued to walk towards the settlement. The tanks backing up maneuvered around buildings as they entered the town.

More jets flew towards Jr as he approached the town. They fired their rockets at him as they approached, and then dropped the bomb payload just as they flew over his head pestering him. The rockets streaked through the sky leaving a white cloud streak behind them as they made a hissing sound streaking through the air colliding with Jr's face. The bomb then hit his chest with little effect just as Jr's foot toppled over the first building turning it to merely a pile of rubble.

However, more jets flew over, and despite Jr's controlling his anger for the most part the jets made one fatal error. One of the bombs flew over Jr's left shoulder making a whooshing noise passing over Anguirus, and then striking Rodan in his wing causing a massive explosion.

Rodan yelped which Jr heard looking back in shock as Rodan fell to his back groaning. Jr in reaction to seeing his friend fall down, and possibly injured roared furiously, and could no longer hold his anger in.

In retaliation Jr pulsed and hummed his dorsal plates like machine gun fire charging for an atomic breath. More jets flew closer and closer to him ready to deploy their payloads, but they would never even get to launch the weapons they were carrying. Jr's breath shot out of his mouth sounding like cannon fire.

In an instant the jets once they hit the breath exploded. The paint on the jets burnt off in less than a second before the jet fuel within erupted in flames from the intense heat expanding the fuel tank until it ruptured into flames. The force of the atomic breath itself shattered the jet into pieces disintegrated into flaming unrecognizable pieces. Jr saw 4 other jets incoming and moved his breath sweeping through the air to try and ground them.

Anguirus winced seeing Jr's rage, but could do nothing right now as the humans had brought this upon themselves. They would have lost less if they had simply not bothered Jr.

Anguirus: Dammit kid please stop attacking….

As Jr swept his body around his tail knocked over more buildings creating massive upwards ploom of tan colored dust while his tail flung building debris through the remainder of the town. His tail managed to hit some of the tanks flipping them to the tops of their turrets while Jr destroyed the rest of the jets turned them to flaming chunks of unrecognizable metal.

Anguirus watched from a safe distance as Jr brought his breath down onto the town creating even more dust and bits of hot concrete flying up into the air in reaction to his atomic breath. The breath was hot enough to create a burning glowing orange trench in the town's road. The breath knocked over building much shorter than Jr himself cutting them in half, and causing them to crumble into chunks.

He then focused his breath onto the tanks that were still firing on him. His breath melted their armor, shattering them in several places, and causing the ammunition in the tanks to detonate destroying them from the inside out.

Jr's anger fit wasn't done yet as he laid waste to the rest of the Indian town moving his entire body to the left with his head pointed down towards the ground creating more trenches and causing more dust to fly into the air. Even more buildings fell before him engulfing part of his lower body in a dust cloud that traveled up to his hips.

Jr then closed his mouth, and his dorsal plates stopped glowing blue. He then walked out of the once existing town to walk over to Rodan who was still lying on his back. Rodan saw Jr walking towards him which caused him to yelp.

Rodan: AH! DON'T HURT ME!

Jr however only bent down to grab Rodan's left hand, and then Jr used his left hand to grab behind Rodan's neck to lift him back to his feet.

Jr: Relax. I'm not mad at you.

Rodan nodded and made a sigh of relief fearing Jr's rage. He looked at the smoking and burning city.

Rodan: Yeah I can see that...

Jr looked at Rodan's left wing to see a small burnt wound, circular in shape, with some of Rodan's red blood leaking out. The burn was black in color, but had cracked in some places showing wet and bloody flesh underneath the skin. Jr winced a little seeing Rodan's wound.

Jr: You okay Rody?...

Rodan looking down at his left wing where the small wound was, and he winced himself looking at it. He flapped the wind from front to back making a slight gust of wind due to his massive size.

Rodan: Ah it's nothing Goji. I'll be fine.

Jr nodded to Rodan, but Anguirus looked back at the town Jr just destroyed knowing his personal war with the humans raged on. There were no more attacks on Jr either a Anguirus had noticed since the explosion had stopped, the sounds of tank engines, turret fire, jet engines, and rockets flying through the air had all ceased to exist. In his head he thought he should have bitten Jr's tail to get him to stop his attack, but really he was worried for Rodan and knew the humans messed up as well.

Jr then looked back away from Rodan and walked back to the burning town seeing the damages himself now noticing what he had done himself. He took in every detail of the destruction he inflicted upon the humans. All the burnt charred roads, the charred concrete rubble, broken glass strewn about the destruction randomly. Overturned or crushed cars were displaced from their original place of parking on the street they were on now away either joining the rubbled warped completely from being crushed or still on the street flattened, and barely recognizable.

Jr as well sighed looking at the destruction knowing full well that this could have prevented if the humans had just decided not to attack, and let the kaiju through, but instead all their attacks managed to do was anger Jr to the point of him destroying another town.

Anguirus however frowned seeing Jr's anger get the best of him yet again. He looked up at Jr with a cold frown.

Anguirus: Again kid… I know the humans are in the wrong right now for hurting poor Rody…

Rodan: I'm fine actually… It just a flesh wound…

Anguirus: Shut up. But again, kid you're not proving anything by destroying them. You're only making things even worse for yourself. They were only trying to protect themselves again. They don't understand that you mean no harm. Actually, you did mean harm to them once they attacked…. Don't argue. Just look at the proof right in front of you…

Anguirus gestured with his left hand to point and show Jr the destruction he caused to the humans. Jr however was too disappointed in himself and the humans as well to say anything at all. He only proceeded ahead in front of the other two to lead them to the Himalayas.

Anguirus got back on his 4 legs to walk while looking back at Rodan and then moving his snout forwards to gesture for Rodan to follow. Rodan shrugged, but followed anyways. They walked over the destroyed city scattering the debris further, and leaving their own footprints in the concrete, and rubble.

They continued moving through India crossing over more fields and farm areas. Jr as he walked left in the Earth his 4 toed footprints in the dirt and soil as well as a trail of his tail mark as he dragged his tail. Occasionally like he normally did he would flick his tail in the air sometimes spinning it around before letting it collide with the ground making a massive trench in the earth.

Anguirus as well left his own footprints in the Earth, and occasionally wiped away Jr's away with his own footprints, and by swaying his tail left to right repeatedly. Though it was always unintentional.

Rodan however took to the skies again slowing his pace down so he could stay right above the other two. He flapped his wings downwards, and backwards much as a bird would to keep himself flying steadily through the air. He then spread his wings out to let himself glide through the sky. The cool breeze of the air flew past his body.

….

After about an hour of walking the trio arrived to another city, but a much larger one. This city was Siliguri. The citizens in the city were all ordered to evacuate, but pack lightly. Jr once again sighed seeing the humans run away from him despite him not actually wanting to kill any of them. He looked behind the city and already saw massive green hills in the background behind the city. They signaled the beginning of the Himalayas.

The kaiju trio began walking through the suburban sprawl of the city first walking through flat fields, but then making their way quickly over miniscule housing on the outskirts of the city. Though this time Jr decided it would be best if he try to avoid destruction, or at least try to cause the least amount of damage as possible.

As he walked across the grass and dirt filled fields he walked in between the Shri Ram Chandra Mission to the west and to his left while on his right and to the east was small part of suburban sprawl. However, it was now completely clear of human life after they had been alerted to clear out to avoid the approaching 3 kaiju.

Rodan continued flying above the other two though even with his keen eye sight he couldn't see any signs of human life below himself.

Although he did see a canal in the way of the other two kaiju dividing them and the other part of the suburbs as well as the main part of Siliguri.

He swooped downwards and did a mid air barrel roll, to show off his flying abilities. He landed north of Jr and Anguirus, and then smiled slyly to them.

Rodan: Hey guys looky. I don't need to swim.

Jr looked at what Rodan was talking about, and then he too saw the canal. He made his own sly grin back at Rodan.

Jr: Yeah well guess what. I like the water. I have never been afraid of getting a little wet, and I don't think Angy has either. Right Angy? Anguirus?...

Jr looked back to see Anguirus with a slightly nervous frown on his face as he looked down at the canal. Jr then remembered that Anguirus was never that good at swimming and had to often had lift Anguirus along using his tail to help him swim.

Jr sighed out letting hot air out of his lungs. He then held his tail steady for Anguirus to grab onto.

Jr: I told you to practise your damn swimming man… Come on.

Anguirus: Well what do you expect from me kid? I don't have your body. You were made for swimming… Eh whatever….

Anguirus placed himself over Jr's tail, and then used his front and back legs to hug on while he rested his chest on the tail. Jr smirked looking back at Anguirus on his tail. Anguirus in the meantime looked up, and grumbled gesturing to Jr to move along only nodding his head up and down.

Jr then looked towards the canal, north, and proceeded forwards. He crossed over a sandy fenced in area first before stomping onto the Ambai Canal Road. He only need three steps to cross the road, and then travel into the canal while Anguirus hung onto Jr's tail as he got dragged along.

Jr stepped into the canal using his right foot first dipping himself slowly into the water until he was knee deep. He then moved his left leg into the water while his tail, and by extension Anguirus, stayed on dry land. Jr then waded through the water dragging his tail into it slowly.

However, Jr's tail went into the water more roughly causing a large splash sending water into Anguirus's face. In reaction Anguirus winced and then immediately groaned in annoyance. Rodan who was still on dry land grabbed his chest and snickered tom himself watching the situation unfold. Anguirus easily heard Rodan's snickers.

Anguirus: Shut up Rodan….

Rodan: Hey Goji looks like uncle Angy needs some help crossing some narrow water.

Jr sighed and made a deep groan realizing that the water only went up to his knees. In his mind he wanted Anguirus to practice his swimming still. Although, he also knew Anguirus to be stubborn so that wasn't likely.

He only continued walking through the water until he reach the next ledge of the canal in front of him to his north. When he got there he looked up at Rodan who was still laughing. Jr grumbled and held out his hands for Rodan to help lift him out of the canal. Rodan continued laughing however unaware Jr was below him.

Jr: Rodan… A little hand please?...

Rodan opened one eye and looked down at Jr to see he had one of his brows raised.

Rodan: Well I can't give you a little hand, but I can give you a big hand.

Rodan began clapping for some odd reason, and Jr only looked at him confused. Anguirus heard what was happening in front of him, and he frowned with a deep scowl, annoyed, as he knew exactly what Rodan would say next.

Rodan: Well good job Angy. You're taking the first steps of getting over your fear of swimming. Good job!

Anguirus moaned in annoyance while Jr crossed his arms annoyed himself. Rodan however did bend his knees slightly and handed over Jr his right hand. Jr huffed, and placed his right hand into Rodan's. They both grabbed onto each other's hand, and Rodan began lifting his knees upwards.

Rodan: Always lift with your legs not your back.

Jr: Shut up…

Jr as he was being lifted placed his right foot down onto the concrete on the outside of the canal, and then raised his right leg lifting his body upwards getting him out of the canal.

Out of the canal he then lifted his tail up with Anguirus still grabbing on with surprising strength. Jr then moved his tail to the left to get Anguirus onto dry land while his tail, and anguirus's chest, tail, and legs all dripping of the canal's water onto dry land.

Anguirus then unwrapped his legs from Jr's tail, and lifted his chest up. He then side stepped on all 4s to get to Jr's left side. Rodan immediately saw that Anguirus was panting despite not doing much to work out. Rodan's brows raised and he began to snicker with a smile trying not to laugh at Anguirus. Anguirus however noticed Rodan's snickering and grumbled.

Anguirus: Laugh it up bird-brain…

Rodan: Sorry. I can't help it you're ridiculous with this water issue.

Jr sighed as well as facepalming himself before continuing on through Siliguri's suburbs. Again as he moved through the suburbs he stomped over houses, small banks, Shopping centers, and other small buildings he barely need to lift his feet over.

Soon the trio arrived to a railway station. The trains there were all inactive with cargo cars still attached to the engine. As the kaiju trip made their way over the train cars they bent the metal tracks, and cracked the wooden plankings making the tracks useless.

Jr then kicked the train cars sending them hundreds to thousands of meters away from their original tracks where they rested on. The train cars decoupled instantly when he kicked them being sent flying over the city and then sent crashing into buildings in the city where the concrete walls of the building shattered upon being hit. Other trains cars Jr simply stepped on compressing them down into the tracks below the cars almost merge them together just due to Jr's weight alone.

The ground the continued past the destroyed railway station however it was then jr realized something was missing with all this destruction. He darted his eyes as he trampled over buildings in the main part of the city almost confused by the lack of a certain thing.

Jr: You guys notice we haven't been attacked yet by any military since we left that last town?

Rodan only shrugged, and scratched the back of his neck uninterested.

Rodan: I don't know Goji. maybe they just got tired of losing so they're just going to let us walk on through the city this time.

Jr grumbled, and he looked back at Anguirus. Anguirus gave Jr a confused head shake meaning he didn't know the answer to Jr's question either. Jr only sighed and continued through the city crusing any building that got in his way. The trio eventually crossed through Siliguri, and met the entrance of the Himalayas at Sevoke where they began walking through the valleys.

The valleys themselves were surrounded by green tree covered massive mountains that were taller than the kaiju themselves, and the just barely entered the Himalayas. Jr seeing how tall the mountains were was impressed by their size himself. The walked along the side to a river to its east as they continued through the valley getting deeper and deeper into the Himalayas.

….

After a while of walking the trio find themselves still walking amongst valleys, but the mountains themselves had grown to massive proportions now. They were not covered by a forest of green trees this time, but instead rugged and rocky mountains surpassing the ones they came across at the Himalayas entrance in height.

Jr himself found himself almost always look stunned he was looking at objects that were far greater in height than he was. It was abnormal for him to see anything surpass him in height especially by hundreds of meters.

Jr: Jeez these mountains are tall.

Rodan looked up as well. He couldn't whistle using his beak, but instead used his tough to give off a whistle impressed himself. He too looked up at the height of the mountains.

Rodan: yeah dude. I don't even think flying above these would be easy for me.

Anguirus looked up himself. He was impressed himself, but he hadn't been to this part of the world before so he looked at the mountains with a more curious expression.

Anguirus: Yeah. I guess this part of the world just has friggin huge mountains. Their so tall they got snow growing at the tops of 'em. Just look.

Jr looked when Anguirus said they had snow, but he was confused by one detail.

Jr: Snow?

Anguirus's eye widened, and he looked back at Jr both shocked and confused.

Anguirus: Uh yeah kid. Snow.

Jr tilted his head confused.

Jr: Is that what that white stuff is?

Anguirus quickly nodded his head to get Jr to understand quickly.

Anguirus: Yeah, but Jr you're making it sound like you have never seen the snow before… have you?...

Jr shrugged and looked back at the snow confused by it. He tilted his head looking at the substance not knowing what it truly was. Anguirus seeing this began thinking if he had ever brough Jr to Japan in the winter when he was younger.

Jr: I guess not Angy. I'm just impressed the mountains are high enough they can catch the clouds on their rocks.

Rodan began laughing loudly at the comment Jr just made and held his chest. Anguirus blushed at this forgetting to teach Jr some of the marvels this world has to offer. Anguirus looked back at Rodan and growled at him to stop laughing.

Rodan: What? What? How are you not laughing? He doesn't know what snow is. That's adorable. It's almost too funny.

Anguirus frowned and grumbled at Rodan as they walked across the rocky valley stepping over some boulders that were already bigger and heavier than humans. Anguirus nearly stopped in his track however to slap Rodan on the back of his head.

Anguirus: That's not funny Rodan. The kid has no idea what snow is because he's always too busy fighting… That or we don't bring him out of the tropicals enough...

Rodan shrugged looking back at the confused Jr. Jr wasn't paying attention to the other two as he walked sometimes crushing some rocks below his feet making a crunching noise.

Rodan: Nah. I think he spends too much time on the island is all. Maybe he needs a vacation from this king thing.

Anguirus grumbled and walked faster to catch up with Jr. They turned North west passing through a valley listening to Jakory's advice. The rocks here were either tan or grey in color. The air was also a lot cooler than what Jr was normally used to as he wrapped his arms around his chest as he continued walking. The sun above the group was nowhere to be seen almost hiding among the mountains themselves.

However, once Anguirus caught up with Jr on all 4s he began to process how to describe what snow is in his head to explain to Jr properly on what it really is.

Anguirus: Okay no, Kid snow isn't clouds that got caught by mountains. I mean technically snow is made up from clouds, but that's not how it's formed. You get what i'm saying?

Jr looked down at Anguirus with a raised brow confused on what he was talking about.

Jr: Uhhhhhh….

Anguirus sighed and began to process in his head what he wanted to describe to Jr.

Anguirus: Okay so you know what rain is right?

Jr shook his head up and down in an affirmative yes to Anguirus.

Jr: Oh yeah. Its when water comes down from the sky. You know I love the rain.

Anguirus sighed otu thankful Jr at least knew what rain was.

Anguirus: Thank god…

Jr: Yeah but I don't get how the clouds drop water all the way from the sky.

Anguirus's eyes opened up wide instantly, and he grit his teeth shocked again hearing Jr not understanding how the world works.

Anguirus: Oh boy…. This is going to be tough to explain…

Anguirus explained to Jr the water cycle seeing how oblivious and unobserved Jr was as they walked through the rocky terrain. He had to explain how evaporation worked to Jr, and that snow was really just water that had gotten high enough into the atmosphere, and shaped by wind and cool air to freeze the water into snow.

Although, even Anguirus's description of the water cycle was equivalent to that of an elementary school child. Education to kaiju was extremely limited.

During the entire description Rodan continued laughing to himself as they proceeded further into the mountains. Valleys they crossed through were littered with stones and rock as well as a bit of frost. The trio almost felt lost with how tall each peak was while the crossed through the valley. The mountains obscured everything in sight with how wide and tall they were. The temperature around them got cooler and cooler while they walked into the mountainous terrain.

Jr nodded to everything Anguirus had said to him understanding now what snow is.

Jr: Ohhhhh. So it's just really cold water?

Anguirus nodded.

Anguirus: Yep. That's it. It floats down to the ground and melts back into water to begin the cycle again.

Rodan behind the two kept laughing.

Rodan: Yeah. And the water cycle is why you don't drink your own pee.

Rodan laughed harder while Jr made a disgusted confused look. Anguirus grumbled and shook his head.

Anguirus then realized on the entire walk that not once has Rodan used his wings to fly above him or Jr. ANguirus looked back at Rodan.

Anguirus: Hey, uh, Rody. Why haven't you flown above us the entire time we've been walking through the valleys?

Rodan stopped laughing, and tilted his head confused as well. He scratched the chin of his beak, and then shrugged.

Rodan: I don't know. I guess I'm just tired of flying for now. I've been flying all through India man. That and I think this looks better at you guys's perspective.

Jr and Anguirus both shrugged, and continued walking further.

However, as they continued Jr began to see odd piles of grey ash on the rocky ground. Impaled in the piles of ash were spiraled swords. Jr squinted seeing these multiple times on his walk, but shrugged it off and continued onwards.

However, as Jr continued along with the other two through the mountain ranges he began to get colder and colder. He started shivering and as such he became confused.

Jr: Angy?... Why am I shaking?...

Anguirus sighed and looked up at Jr. Rodan chuckled seeing Jr really do this for the first time it seems to him.

Rodan: Dude man you're like in an Earthquake right now you're shaking so bad.

Jr: Rody i'm not used to the damn cold. I like my air warm and humid like the jungle on the island. This air is dry and cold…

Jr had the idea to light up his dorsal plates to warm his body temperature up using his body's nuclear energy. Rodan got nervous seeing this as he thought Jr was about to strike him even though Jr has never been abusive. Though in Rodan's eyes anything was possible in this cold.

Warm white steam flowed out of Jr's snout and mouth looking like white clouds do to his massive size. Rodan got a thought.

Rodan: Puff the magic dragon…

Jr grumbled at Rodan's antics, but eventually felt his blood getting warmer. He sighed out, but the cold air felt like it was stinging at his rough hide. Jr then turned his head to the left as well as his eyes to see how the other two were doing.

Jr: How about you guys?

Anguirus huffed.

Anguirus: Well you ain't used to this that's for damn sure. I could be back home really sipping on some of Rodan's berry drink

Rodan nodded and crossed his arms.

Rodan: That's damn well right! I make a mean alcoholic beverage!

Jr squinted seeing both Anguirus and Rodan not shivering. Anguirus he thought might just be not getting cold due to his thick body, btu Rodan was a much thinner kaiju than either of them. It perplexed Jr seeing Rodan not being bothered by the cold.

Jr: Okay then Rody why are you not getting cold here?

Rodan gave Jr sly grin.

Rodan: Dude. I fly in the sky at extremely high altitudes you don't even know man. I swear sometimes ice forms on my wings dude. Like the tips of the wings.

Jr raised a brow listening to this this thinking Rodan was one lucky SOB for being able to take the cold for being such a skinny kaiju.

The group ended up finding the entrance for what they believe is the tomb to this kaiju. Jr gulped seeing this as it was a pretty long journey.

The tomb itself seemed to be dug right into the mountain itself with a massive stone wall covered in tibetan symbols that neither of the kaiju could read. The stone wall seemed to be like a door of sorts, tan in color.

To the left of the wall were these odd decorations round and dark brown in color. These happened to be Mani Wheels. Although, the trio had no idea what they were. On them though were also traditional Tibetan drawings. They were: snow lion white in color, green bird-like garuda, orange tiger, and blue dragon.

The mani Wheels were large enough for the kaiju to touch without damage, but upon inspection jr found that the Mani wheels could spin, and even more he found that the wheels could make clicking noises when spun to the next symbol. It all corresponded to something and it peaked Jr's curiosity. As well as Anguirus.

Anguirus: hey kid hang on a minute. This is like some kind of puzzle.

Jr: you mean like how to open this door?

Anguirus nodded. Jr however continued moving the wheels, but something else caught Anguirus's attention.

Anguirus: Maybe those colors mean something…

Jr sighed and saw above the mani wheels were Tibetan numerals embedded into the stone of the mountain on what looked like a smoothed ou carved rock plaque. None of the kaiju of course could read these numerals, but it got the gears in Jr's head turning. He examined them closer.

༡, ༢, ༣, ༤

The gears in his head only turned him to do one thing however. He looked back at Rodan.

Jr: Rody you think you could solve this for us?

Rodan only shrugged and looked around the mountain pass for some more clues.

Rodan: I'm surprised you can trust this bird brain at all.

Rodan looked up, and saw that there were these red painted wooden planks imbedded in the mountains sticking like Las Vegas neon signs. Although the red paint had worn through the centuries. Though hanging down from them were the same symbols on the rock plaque. Except these ones were in color.

Blue: ༡

Orange: ༢

White: ༣

Green: ༤

Rodan then processed in his head the way of solving this pattern.

Rodan: Okay so judging by those signs and these symbols above the animal things right here; it looks like i'm gonna have to match the color of the animals with the order of the odd symbols.

Jr tilted his head in confusion. His uneducated kaiju mind was having trouble processing this. Anguirus was equally confused, but his jaw hung agape seeing that Rodan was actually on the verge of solving a puzzle.

Rodan first spun the first mani wheel under the "༡" symbol to the blue dragon. He then spun the next wheel under the "༢" to the orange lion. Next he spun the "༣" corresponding with the wheel below it to the picture of the white snow lion. Finally Rodan spun the "༤ " Mani Wheel to the picture of the green Garuda.

Each picture that moved into the next made a loud "click" noise signifying they were snapping into place.

However, when Rodan completed the puzzle a prominent vibration was felt below the feet of the 3 kaiju.

Jr: EARTHQUAKE!

However, it wasn't an earthquake. The wall with the Tibetan symbols began to lower sounding stone grinding against stone. Jr's eyes widened and lit up. Rodan clapped his two hands together making a smug sly look. He then placed his knuckles on his hips looking at the other two's expressions and raising a brow still holding a bigger smug grin awaiting their reactions.

Anguirus: Well Abra-Goddamn-Cadabra…

Rodan: Well you are very welcome.

Jr himself made a huff at Rodan. Though it was more one of a short chuckle a bit proud Rodan did something right. Jr then walked into the tunnel system below the mountain.

Jr: I guess we're in Uncharted territory now.

Rodan behind the other two chuckled to himself feeling satisfied as well he did this right, and proved the two others wrong. He held his chest while he laughed while he followed behind Anguirus. Anguirus rolled his eyes following behind Jr.
