OK, then. The time has now come for some good ol-fashioned Monster Vs. Military action… though we have had a fair bit of that already, as it seems. Oh well. Enjoy!

MAN AGAINST MONSTER
Kumonga turned, a burst of webbing shooting from her spinneret as Kamacuras shot up into the air, screeching wildly as it evaded the attack. Kumonga glared up after it, only for a volley of missiles to suddenly strike at her from behind. The spider turned as the two choppers fell back and the row of tanks moved into position, ready to fire.
"Can your guys keep Kumonga occupied?" Osaki checked.
"We aim to do more than that, captain," Katagiri answered simply.
"Good. Then we'll handle the bug."
"What's the plan, boss?" Kazama chimed in.
"Well…" Osaki thought out loud, "You did say you wanted a gun, right?"
The tanks' cannons flared to life with fire and smoke, their shells blasting forward to strike Kumonga in the face. The massive spider shook her head in an angry screech to turn with her spinneret towards her assailants. Before she could fire, however, three choppers descended near to her, opening fire. The missiles shot through the air, exploding against a joint on one of Kumonga's legs. The spider hunched down, swatting at the choppers with one leg and sending one rolling away through the air.
Elsewhere, Osaki climbed down from the back of a supply truck, each member of G-Force except for Miki now holding a dark-green metal case.
"What about me?" Miki inevitably brought up.
"Stay out of the way," Akane replied flatly.
"Not a chance."
"Miki, if Godzilla comes charging in here, this whole place would be chaos in a minute flat," Osaki reminded her. "Relax, we can handle this thing."
Thick, sticky webbing shot from Kumonga's spinneret, plastering the tanks before she turned to unleash the same effect on the choppers. Another craft, however, shot over her as a missile descended to explode on her side, the chopper moving backwards away from her and the base. Clicking her jaws, Kumonga followed.
Above them, the Kamacuras circled in the air, before another projectile shot up next to it. The insect show down, another missile exploding to one side of it. Screeching, the Kamacuras descended to the ground in hopes of avoiding these attacks.
A second later, another pair of missiles shot into one of its legs, exploding and consuming much of the limb in a burst of thick, rolling fire. Screeching painfully, the Kamacuras turned to the source of the attack- only for another missile to collide with the side of its head, filling its vision with smoke and flame.
Miki looked on, anxiously tugging at her hair. It burned at her, having to just sit here and keep Godzilla at bay when he could help them all… but Osaki was right, half of her remembered. The UNXCC was out for Godzilla's blood already. If he showed up, there was no telling how much damage it could do.
Besides, she observed, it seemed the others were handling things just fine by themselves.
The Kamacuras turned away from the burning attacks, before yet another missile struck it, this time against its soft eye. The mantis screeched in pain as another volley of assaults struck it, limping away before its legs gave in beneath it, and its form collapsed with a reverberating 'thud' and a cloud of dust.
"Yee-haw!" Kazama punched the air with a Texan accent, "Nice shootin'!" He turned to Osaki and received a firm high-five… then turned to Akane, who simply stood still and shook her head.
"You guys OK?" Miki checked as she ran over to them.
"No problem," Kazama answered proudly, "I still say a can of spray would've been good too."
"Um… guys?" Takuya cut in, pointing up into the air as a chopper spiralled wildly above them, crashing down into the runway with a metallic screech as it broke apart into crushed, splintered metal.
Kumonga's eight legs slammed into the ground, holding the spider up above the remains of the Kamacuras. The spider screeched angrily, clicking her jaws into the air before looking down at the humans, focusing her compound eyes in anger at the creatures who had stolen her prey from her.
"We're screwed," Kazama groaned, looking down at the empty missile launchers.
The group shot wildly away as Kumonga turned, a stream of webbing discharging from her spinneret. The attack arced through the air, striking something- no, someone- carrying them through the air and pinning them against the wall behind them.
Osaki turned, looking through the last falling strands to see who had been trapped.
Beneath the mass of sticky, white webbing, Miki pointlessly struggled at the bonds before looking up as Kumonga positioned herself above her.
"Miki!" Osaki shouted desperately as the spider lowered herself down, her jaws opening and dropping with venom...
Cliffie!!! Not really necessary, but I wanted the fight to have its own chapter. Which is why this chapter's kinda short. Plus just realised two things: 1. This story's probably the closest I've gotten to a run-of-the-mill 'monster of the week' story since Episode 5, and 2. It doesn't seem to be getting much reaction… oh well, maybe episode 9 might do better.
