After a long break, I'm finally updating this fic again. I was pretty busy with my Rodan fic and put this fic on the backburner, well I'm taking it off. With any hope I will post every week. I've decided to end this series with this fic but I do plan on a follow up series with a new cast, I just feel I've done what I can devolping these characters and need to refresh my character pool for the series. At the moment I've only got Battra planned for that one but I hope it will be good. Anyway on to chapter!

The Gift of Flight

JSDF HQ, 8:15 am;

Miki, Logan, Ivan and Tucker walk in to greet Jacob. "Hello sir." said Tucker.

"Logan, who is this man?" asks Jacob without emotion.

"He's a reporter that was on Monster Island." said Logan.

"Get rid of him."

"Look Jacob, he's a part of this now to, besides you Defense Force idiots need any good press you can get after last night." said Ivan, Jacob steps back, intimidated by the massive Russian.

"Fine, now what do we do?"

"According to what we've seen, Hedorah is nocturnal so we shouldn't have much of a problem during the day and we should order that all people of Tokyo keep their lights on bright until Hedorah is dead." said Miki.

Ocean, 9 am;

Hedorah plowed through the surf. His new body wasn't nearly as mobile as his infant stage but being able to go on land outweighed that inconvenience. He had the form he wanted in his mind, one that could allow him to fly but he needed more energy than he had to do that. He was still unsure of what to do. He could head for the mainland and absorb the pollution but then he could attract attention. If he didn't, he'd have to wait till night to sneak into the bay. His mind couldn't resist the temptation, he had to reach his next stage of evolution as quickly as possible. He turned to Japan.

JSDF HQ, 9:25 am;

"Sir, Hedorah is in Osaka bay." said one of Jacob's men.

"Nocturnal huh?" asks Jacob, angry.

"It's evolving far more rapidly than we thought. It was only a bunch of almost one celled organisms a few days ago and now its able to cause mass destruction." said Ivan.

"Reactive evolution, just like Tyrana's." said Miki.

"How do we stop it?!" yelled Jacob.

"Keep trying and hope it makes a mistake." said Logan.

"Send in all available forces, if you can't kill it, drive it back into the bay!"

Osaka, 9:30 am;

Hedorah came ashore. People screamed and ran from the smog monster, those who couldn't get away were dissolved in the massive creature. Hedorah dragged in some cars, sucking the pollutants from their exhaust. Maser tanks unleashed a barrage of beams on him. Angry at having his meal interrupted, Hedorah attacks. A barrage of acidic blobs and some body slams quickly dispatches the tanks. A squadron of jets fly in, raining down their firepower on the creature. Hedorah quickly crawls over to a factory and attaches to the top of a smokestack again, remembering they were a good fuel source. He sucks in the smoke, gaining as much strength from it as he could. The jets continued to drop their payload. The smokestack crumbled from Hedorah's body, Hedorah hadn't bother to control it this time. He had enough. Hedorah let out a gurgling roar as it was once again engulfed in red energy. When complete, Hedorah's new shape looked like an elongated saucer with Hedorah's eyes on top. What appeared to be smoke flew out of openings in the monster. He was flying, he had done it. It took him a few seconds to get control of his new form but he quickly mastered it. He took off after the jets, they were able to outmaneuver the blobs being shot and Hedorah's flying stage. Hedorah's anger grew, he felt like he was being mocked. His eyes glow for a second, a jagged red beam shoots from were his tear ducks would normally be. They collide with a jet, destroying it. Happy with the result, Hedorah attacks again. The jets are quickly destroyed and Hedorah flies off.

JSDF HQ, 10 am;

"Please tell me I just didn't see what I thought I saw." said Jacob, rubbing his temples.

"It evolved again, it can fly." said Miki, she almost throws up at what is soon displayed on the screen, what Hedorah had done to the people of the city. All that was left were skeletons and some sludge.

"Logan, explain." said Jacob, in utter loss of words.

"It didn't touch half those people, it must be generating some kind of acid mist, from the looks of things, it must do it on contact." said Logan.

"How are we going to stop this thing?"

"I believe I have the answer." said a voice behind them, they turn to find Eric walking into the room with a smug look.


Ok, I do believe that was a pretty short chapter for this fic but I suck at kaiju vs. military scenes unless there is a superweapon or something involved, any suggestions on how to improve that is greatly wanted. Next chapter, Dagahra is unvaled!
