Between Jubail and Dammam
As he watched the flashes of light over the horizon, US Army General Fredrick Middleton shivered due to a mix of the cold and the knowledge that a great evil was heading towards him, his colleagues, and his men. He then looked skyward to see a hail of shells and missiles heading towards where the flashes of light had been before he turned to the others and remarked quietly, "Well at least that will delay him and give us some more time here."
Looking up from the map, JGSDF General Kaizo Nishimura replied grimly, "Indeed it will if things go as well as we hope." He then turned to look at several separate monitors that showed Godzilla and the large number of troops heading to meet him before he mused quietly, "It's frightening how this repeats itself over and over again." Before Middleton or any of the others could comment, Nishimura replied, "It's frightening due since we have to face Godzilla once more but to send young men to experience the same things that we went through at that age."
Middleton nodded before he turned to watch several US G-Force heading towards the front before he remarked quietly, "One can hope that how the experience has affected us will happen once again, which will help us all in the long run." Suddenly he laughed mirthlessly before he added, "Man, now I'm starting to feel like our own commanders now and last time if I have such thoughts."
The others shook their heads at the American's comment before they turned to look at the action before Sadasama Torii said, "If we can keep Godzilla pinned down and guessing then it will give us time for us to properly welcome him." All nodded at that for they knew that if they gave the monster a proper welcome then they could at least have some control over the pace of the battle.
Heading towards the battlefield, Tom Benson and Miroku Shiratori watched in awe as scores of Japanese and American vehicles roared across the desert landscape towards their target. Turning to look at one of the cameras, Shiratori remarked to Benson, "Now I finally get to experience to full extent of being a tank-man." When Benson didn't respond, Shiratori inquired by asking, "Is everything alright over there?"
Shaken out of reverie, it took a few minutes before Benson responded over the communications link, "I apologize, it's just that seeing all of this well it's a bit much." Shiratori remained silent as the American continued on, "It's just that to see this type of combat after so long feels like a relief for at least we know our foe." Shiratori nodded before Benson inquired, "So do we have any air support yet?"
The Japanese colonel shrugged before he remarked, "Right now our air units are re-organizing but last I heard Nobunaga and Carter will soon be heading our way", "As for helicopters, they're already airborne and they're keeping track of Godzilla." Pausing for a moment to check his facts, he then finished, "Once the party starts, then they'll join in."
Benson laughed loudly before he replied back, "Just make sure that they get to the party on time."
Godzilla roared in anger as a continuous wave of shells and missiles crashed all over him. Blinking his blood-red eyes, Godzilla looked all around him at the night sky before he unleashed a blast of his atomic ray into the surrounding area all around him to flush out his foes. When none appeared, Godzilla snarled and sniffed the air as he continued his march through the desert, his feet leaving huge footprints in the sand that instantly disappeared as they appeared.
Though the main military forces were still some distance away, some had already arrived on station with their weapons trained on the enormous kaiju. The sight of such a living being marching in the dark sky sent chills through the spines of the troops for no amount of training had prepared them for this type of combat. Soon though anger began to seep in as the local troops felt the need to defend their homeland again as well as the fact that the monster was marching on land that contained holy sites that were key to their religion. Swiftly disobeying orders, the small groups of tanks and other AFV immediately headed to ambush positions while radioing for assistance. That set off arguments between the different commanders with some wanting to engage him right now while the rest (all of them G-Force) wanted to wait until they had enough firepower on hand.
Unfortunately, Godzilla's small cat-like ears picked up the sounds of their engines and despite the continual shelling; he increased his speed while bellowing out in challenge to those that shadowed him. Although he moved more slowly than that the human forces, the sounds of his footsteps drove his increasing number of opponents on as they tried to get in front of the monster while they summoned help. Some of that help did arrive but it would not be enough for the increasing brightness of blue-white flame signaled to all that the monster was nearly right on top of them.
Sniffing the air around him, Godzilla growled as he sensed his pursuers gathering in front of him despite the shell and missile fire slamming against his skin from all sides at long range. Roaring out in the night sky while swinging his tail about, the monster soon began his advance, his eyes picking up the forms of tanks and other vehicles.
The lead AFVs responded with a massed volley of gunfire before they started up their engines as Godzilla headed in their direction while fire from their own side landed all around them. While the tanks pounded away at Godzilla from long range with their 120mm guns, the other AFVs raced in at full speed to use their wire-guided missiles and shorter ranged weapons. Despite skillful driving especially by those that came from the desert, some did eventually die from friendly fire or from Godzilla crushing them under his enormous feet.
Though spirited, the resistance only attracted Godzilla towards them while lighting themselves up for his atomic breath which he soon brought into play. Soon, blue flame rained down upon the sand, vaporizing any metal or flesh it encountered while the sight of it up close and personal shocked those that avoided the blue energy ray. Within a minute, at least 10 tanks and 20 AFVs melted or vaporized from the atomic ray while Godzilla's feet smashed aside or crushed several more AFVs. Roaring with glee, the monster started to advance on the troops as they retreated in all directions in fright.
Watching the monster destroy AFVs left and right of him, the senior commander on the scene shouted on the communications link for the others to scatter while screaming for reinforcements. He then turned to look for any sign of aircraft in vain before heading back down the hatch as his M1A1 Abrams sped out of the way with several others.
When the senior commanders received the news, it set off bitter arguments with the G-Force and some of the more cautious commanders advocating restraint while the rest wanted to engage Godzilla head on. Though the G-Force commanders tried to persuade their counterparts to listen to them, the others threw harsh arguments back into their faces, leaving them no choice. With heavy hearts, the G-Force field commanders contacted their units and signaled them to head towards Godzilla as fast as they could and engage him.
The G-Force officials who operated on the front lines also shared the same looks with their superiors before they contacted each other and began to formulate makeshift plans. As Benson looked over the orders, he told the others over the command link, "Damn, this is going to get ugly really fast."
Shiratori nodded and turned to one of his aides and asked, "Where are our leading units?" The aide activated one of the computer screens and soon everyone saw the location of the G-Force units as well as that of the other nations and their main target. They all turned to each other for several moments to ask each other silently for advice before the Japanese colonel spoke for them all, "Signal our forces to head to Godzilla's general area and prepare for his arrival while reconnaissance units provide support."
Marching right on top of those too close for their own comfort while blasting away at everything in sight, Godzilla roared in glee as his foes instantly parted way from him. Those that tried to literally stand their ground earned a one way trip to hell as Godzilla vaporized them and those that fought on the move only had a marginal success for Godzilla eventually followed and destroyed them or they ran afoul of his feet and tail.
Though easily smashing aside his foes, Godzilla continuously sniffed the air and at times fired into the sky as an endless rain of shells and missiles kept coming in. Growling as he saw several small remnants attempt to flee out of his sight, Godzilla followed and immediately torched them in front of their colleagues as well as the new arrivals. Roaring in glee at the destruction, Godzilla marched on as more and more ground units entered into his line of sight and engaged him.
Struggling to reach the battlefield, the reinforcements encountered a constant stream of refugees and demoralized survivors fleeing from the monster. Picking their way through the increasing crowds, the reinforcements then attempted to drag the survivors back into the battle. Sometimes it took harsh measures to keep some of the survivors in the game and soon even some of the new arrivals joined the rest in fleeing from the monster as the rest pressed on despite the fear starting to eat at them.
When he got into sight of the monster, the senior commander who was on the scene, and was a Russian, radioed to others units nearby, "To all units, rally at these coordinates and engage the enemy." He then looked around for a moment before yelling out to his own forces, "Start shooting."
The Russian T-80s and T-90s as well as the Chinese Type 96s and Type 99s opened up at extreme range on Godzilla to push him back as their accompanying vehicles closed the range or attempted to clear out. When Godzilla turned his attention towards them, the combined force accelerated to maximum speed as they closed in.
Growling angrily as several 125 mm shells and ATGM slammed into his head Godzilla blinked his blood-red eyes for a moment as his dorsal fins charged before he returned the favor with his atomic ray. Only a few lucky AFVs managed to escape the barrage as the blue beam washed inexorably back and forth on the sand. When the smoke cleared, Godzilla roared in satisfaction as he saw the burning and melted wrecks of at least 10 tanks and several other AFVs as the rest attempted to gather and fall back.
Leaving them no chance to regroup, Godzilla suddenly increased his speed while firing a barrage of the atomic ray into the ranks of the foes in front of him. Even if the beam missed them, the sight of the ray chilled many who had seen horrors of the war on terror. Busy with trying to avoid Godzilla's main weapon, they did not notice the king of monsters rushing at them until he was nearly right on top of them, his tail swinging wildly. The sight of the monster looking right down at them chilled even the most hardened troops. It took all of their courage not to break and run and then they did not fire at the monster as they opened up the distance.
Growling in glee, the monster went on a rampage as his eyes took in a target rich environment. Smashing aside his foes and vaporizing them with his atomic ray, the monster roared in victory as his foes retreated in disorder. Stopping a moment to sniff the air, Godzilla growled as if he sensed the fear his foes showed before he moved in to wipe out the assailants that moved into his line of sight.
Suddenly, a vicious hail of gunfire slammed into Godzilla's hide from the left side. Angry at the surprise assault, the monster turned to see Type 90 tanks, M1A2 Abrams, and their supporting vehicles blazing away at long range as they formed up into groups evenly spaced apart from each other and interlocked their fire. Bellowing in rage, the monster turned and headed for the new arrivals, his feet and tail violently shaking the ground for miles.
Once the G-Force frontline commanders received word that their forces had made contact, all let out a deep breath before Shiratori yelled out over the command link, "Pass the word up to command that we have engaged Godzilla." He then turned to look at the American and Japanese tanks as they advanced on the kaiju while artillery fire landed directly in front of the tanks.
Meanwhile, Benson looked over the computer screens in his vehicle as it showed Godzilla and the units surrounding him. After observing the G-Force as well as separate American units heading to the monster, he got onto the line and radioed their commanders, "To all nearby units. We have made contact with Godzilla." He winced as the G-Force units and most of the others acknowledged his report before he continued on, "Head for these coordinates and prepare to engage him."
As the G-Force units advanced closer to Godzilla, several of them split up to help the other forces and soon they too returned to the fight with the fact that soon the combined firepower began to increase. For his part, Godzilla used his atomic ray with some success against the G-Force units as they closed in on him, the energy beam raking the ground around his foes.
Though impressed with the way that they and their men handled themselves thus far, the G-Force commanders knew that they needed help fast and more than several anxious faces looked up towards the sky.
1:20am, February 14, 201X
King Abidulaziz Air Base.
Though they could hear the fighting off in the distance, the pilots waited impatiently as the flight crews prepared their aircraft and their squadron commanders conducted final briefings. Additional problems included the fact that the base handled more planes than its personnel could actually handle and some continued to arrive in.
Standing outside on the tarmac, Saburo Nobunaga silently watched the crews reload fighters while Sam Carter paced back and forth. After a few moments of uneasy silence, the G-force colonel turned to his American friend and remarked silently, "Doing that won't really help anything here and may prove detrimental in the long run."
Letting the words sink in, Carter breathed in a gulp of air before he replied angrily, "Don't you think I know that, in fact I knew a few guys who gave themselves gray hairs way before their time." He then pointed to the flashes on the horizon and continued by stating, "But with the monster that close and our forces closing in on him, well can you blame me for acting like this."
Nodding in full agreement, Nobunaga replied, "I don't think any of us can blame you for wanting to get back up into the air." He then waved his hand to the whole airbase while remarking, "But no matter how trained everyone is, we're still going to have problems getting everyone up there."
Suddenly, an officer ran up to direct them to one of the large briefing rooms where other squadron leaders waited. Once everyone settled in, the reports from the recent naval attacks as well as the battle on the ground began to flow in. As everyone looked over the latest reports before heading to their fellow squadron leaders, other personnel served food and beverages for the soon to be hard-pressed pilots. Soon, the main flight leaders managed to organize their plans together to the point where the senior commanders arrived into the room and delivered their final attack orders.
It would be an all-out air support mission with staggered attacks on Godzilla so to maintain continuous air cover over the ground forces. The senior commanders then added that although they would attack en masse, the individual air units had free reign to decide to attack. That got the attention of the G-Force commanders and they winced for they felt that it would not allow them to use their massed firepower for full effect even if it did provide command and control problems.
After the senior air commanders finished with their briefings, the pilots rushed out to the waiting aircraft and soon traffic jams began to develop as the ground crews struggled to get all of them into the air. The helicopters had no such problem as they took off in stages and headed towards the rallying point before they flew to the battle zone with the fighters soon flying above them.
Soon after that, the enormous air fleet arrived directly above Godzilla and the ground troops where a spectacular and horrific sight awaited them. A rain of artillery shells and SSMs continued to land all over Godzilla with some of the artillery shells landing amongst the lead AFVs swarming at the monster's feet. The ground forces that engaged Godzilla directly surrounded him with their guns all firing straight at Godzilla at point blank range. For his part, the monster stomped his feet and swung his tail in all directions as his foes were doing their best to prevent him from bringing his atomic ray to bear.
Seeing all that they needed to know, the squadron leaders began to arrange their forces together with many moving much faster than others did. Some already began to launch their assaults, diving in at maximum speed despite the hail of high explosive exploding all around them. As for the helicopters, they soon split up for several moments before they assumed position over their respective ground forces and joined in the assault on Godzilla.
Flying overhead, Carter and Nobunaga watched the action for several minutes before Nobunaga signaled the fighters around him, "Assume attack formation, fighters take point and try to draw him off for our heavy hitters." He then turned to look at the MBAW-93 maser fighters flying right behind him before he spoke to their pilots "Head in at full speed and blast the kaiju with everything you got, you got it." The pilots all nodded in agreement with the orders as Nobunaga turned to see Carter contacting the forces on the ground.
Meanwhile, Carter had attempted to get on the link with G-Force units on the ground. It took several attempts to cut through the radio traffic but soon he had Benson and Shiratori on the line, "You guys have any good business for us by any chance?"
Several explosions occurred on the other end before Benson replied tersely, "Yes, we have much business for you today." A pause followed for several moments before the American colonel continued on, "Just hope that you can carry all of the merchandise."
The American pilot laughed before he switched off and said to the others, "Let's proceed."
The large air group soon dove into the attack with the F-15s leading the way with the MBAW-93 coming in right behind. Once they entered into range, the F-15s launched their first wave of missiles and bombs at the monster before they pulled up and cleared the way for the maser planes to sting Godzilla with blue laser fire.
Not far away, the air groups from both Eisenhower and Vinson were also about to join in the assault. The few hours of rest that they had gotten had been enough to calm their nerves down somewhat and soon they were preparing once again to jump into the inferno.
Looking on as scores of planes from different countries flew all around Godzilla; the CAG of Eisenhower remarked quietly, "My God. This is some party that they have here." He then turned to look at his radar screen for several moments before he told his counterpart, "How the hell we're going to get through there?"
Vinson's CAG remarked back, "I really have no idea at the moment and I was hoping that you had some ideas." Several explosions soon forced their attention back to their target and the Vinson's CAG cursed loudly before he began issuing the orders, "All fighters, head in at full speed empty all of your weapons onto the target and try to take some pressure off of the others."
As one, the scores of F/A-18F Hornets launched a massive volley of missiles at the monster before they joined the swarm of fighters trading fire with the nuclear saurian. Through sheer luck and impressive skill, the scores of planes operating in close vicinity did not have any accidents as they all attacked a common enemy.
On the ground, the exhausted tankers and infantrymen watched in awe as the air forces joined in on the attack. Seeing that the fighters occupied Godzilla's attention, the local commanders began to take stock of the situation even though some of their units continued to exchange fire with the monster.
Even with the impressive amount of firepower at their disposal, the troops were stunned as Godzilla continued to advance and yet it made them fight harder as they remembered what lay behind them.
1:45am, February 14th, 201X
UN fleet, forty-five miles from shore
With Godzilla moving directly out of range, the fleet sailed up and down the coast with auxiliary vessels moored alongside to replenish their stocks of missiles for it was the only weapon they had on hand to use against Godzilla. The carriers themselves remained busy as they reloaded their fighters and helicopters and launch them into the night sky.
On the bridges of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, USS Carl Vinson, JDS Huyga and the other ships, the G-Force officials watched and listened to the fighting on the coast as it unfolded before them. The sight and sounds were enough to stir old memories and many wished that they were younger so they could get back into the fray instead of sitting it out on the sidelines.
They weren't actually sitting out of the fighting for they had remained in contact with Bahrain and the army commanders in the field. It did look like an awkward command arrangement at first but it worked out alright for all involved with the ships using their sensors to help track Godzilla.
Still though it did not prove enough for the G-Force naval commanders as they watched the battle as other got into the thick of it. After watching Godzilla exchange fire with the ground and air forces for several minutes, Omori got on the line and asked his friends about the status of their own forces. He then switched to Bahrain and talked with the haggard Tachibana, "All units have reported in and we have things under control here", "Commanders request to go ashore to provide assistance."
It took a few moments before the Japanese general replied back, "If you feel that you have taken care of things in your commands then you have full permission to go ashore", "Good luck and be careful."
Nodding in agreement, Omori turned to his subordinates and replied, "I'm going ashore, you have the bridge." He then immediately headed down to the busy flight deck where a SH-60 Seahawk waited for him, its engine already turned on.
In a SH-60 Seahawk from the Eisenhower, both Bergen and Carlson adjusted their earphones before Bergen turned to the pilot and asked, "Do you have the frequency for our forces on the ground?" The pilot immediately nodded as he immediately flipped a switch and the two admirals soon listened in as voices in different languages flew back and forth between agitated commanders. Both winced but neither said anything for they had not gotten a good look of the situation up close and personal and thus could not contribute anything for the moment.
Soon though, that changed as they and the others passed by the trail of destruction Godzilla left in his wake. However, in small patches, the sight of devastated tanks and other armored vehicles brought out whistles of surprise and shock from the veteran Americans who had not seen this type of combat for the past four years.
As they closed in on the general area of battle, the helicopters soon split up since they all had different headings but despite the smoke and fires, they could not miss the huge form of Godzilla as fighters and tanks swarmed him.
Once on the ground, the naval commanders made their way to the main G-Force field command post where the generals on the ground were busy issuing orders to their units. All exchanged greetings before Omori asked them all, "So what is the situation here?"
Torii fielded that question while turning to point at the screens, "Right now our own units have begun to arrive on the battlefield and we have slowed down Godzilla's advance." His voice then turned dark as he continued on, "Unfortunately, the units that arrived before us have suffered heavily and it's taken them time to regroup."
Middleton then took over as he directed the others to the map, "As you can see here that although the others have been pitching in, our forces are now in the thick of the fighting." Everyone then turned to look at the maps that showed Godzilla advancing then at times heading back along the way he came as the G-force units pounded him from all sides. Taking a deep breath, he then continued on, "As for the civilians, right now they're being evacuated but it's going to take some time."
The others nodded before Bergen asked, "What do you need us to do?"
Nishimura pointed to the map before he told the admiral, "Right now we could use some assistance in trying to coordinate the movement of all forces." He then paused for a moment before continuing on, "With everyone entering into the area, our commanders are getting swamped here." Coughing to clear his throat, the Japanese general then finished, "Also if you wish, you can also go up to the front to see the results for yourself since some of us were about to head up there."
The new arrivals looked at each before some including Bergen and Carlson nodded in agreement. After exchanging farewells and wishes for safety, the UNGCC command staff headed out to the waiting vehicles that would take them to the front as the rest began to look over the maps and screens.
2:07am, February 14th, 201X
US 5th fleet headquarters, Manama, Bahrain
Some distance away from the fighting, the people in the room acted as if they were directly on the front line with their field commanders. While technicians and operators handled the constant communications to and from the battlefield, the commanders conferred together in their own groups before heading to the others to coordinate their plans. Already it had run into problems with arguments developing between the commanders over the best course to take and even then when they decided, a whole new situation developed. Also, the combatants had different goals in mind as some, particularly the Arab nations wanted to stand their ground while the G-Force units attempted to keep up the pressure among Godzilla while keeping their casualties to the absolute minimum. The rest wavered between different ideas though it soon became clear that they did not like the ideas that the UNGCC commanders advocated as well.
Looking at the virtual maps, Tachibana winced as the battle played out in front of him. He winced for a moment before attempting to rein in his composure as he thought about the enormity of the task. From time to time, he would participate by trying to untangle the communications difficulties between his commanders and the commanders from the other nations but other than that, he and his fellow colleagues on the base had the role of spectators.
Not far away, the Arab commanders watched with worry in their eyes as the target decimated their foes and as for the Saudis, headed nearby their cities as well as the recently created refugee camps. After seeing Godzilla battering several more of their units, they turned to each other for several moments as if to see if they could develop a solution to their problem. Eventually the Saudi command group headed over to the G-Force commanders and their lead man asked Tachibana worriedly, "Are you sure that you don't have anything else to use against our foe."
Tachibana shook his head before he replied to the general, "Right now we're committing everything and trying to keep up the pressure on the monster." Pointing to the maps, he then remarked, "I understand what you're asking but if we do that then we're just providing the monster with a very big target."
Agitated, the Saudi General continued on, "But right now the monster is still advancing and the casualties are starting to mount." Directing them to the same maps, he then continued by stating harshly, "My government requests that you use all means to drive the monster back now."
Wincing at the general's words, Tachibana took a deep breath before he replied in a hard cold tone, "I am sorry general but I cannot oblige with that request." Angry at the insolence, the Saudi general stormed off with his command staff behind him while the G-Force commanders turned back to watch the battle.
The White House Situation Room
In the situation room, an audience from both sides of the Pacific watched a ghastly scene playing out in front of them. Although the Japanese and American G-Force officials tried at times to take the audience through the horrors playing out on the screens, everyone remained deathly silent as the most modern armies in the world battled a being that was supposed to have died out 65 million years ago.
Every time Godzilla used his atomic ray to kill a score of vehicles, the American president and most of the others in the room winced at the sight while the G-Force officers remained icily calm. That was enough to anger the others and they looked at their colleagues to see if they had any trace of humanity in them. The G-Force officials did but they had learned long ago what to expect in this type of combat and they had a ready retort to their colleagues about their own actions.
As he watched the action unfold, Vice-President Michael Lawrence winced as he saw the Apache helicopters move in to blast away at Godzilla with their missiles while dodging the monster's atomic ray. From time to time, he would turn to the G-Force commanders to judge their reactions as well as find out in his mind to see if he could do anything to help. Disappointingly, if the Secretary of Defense or his colleagues noted this, they did not ask thus far.
Taking a deep breath at the horrific carnage and the ugly thoughts that it brought on them the president turned to the G-Force officials and asked harshly, "Is there any other way that you can destroy this thing here?"
The G-force commanders looked at each other for a moment as if deciding who should take the plunge. A long silence followed before Redford took a deep breath and answered, "Sir, we here in the room have fought that bastard before and we've tried everything that we could think of." Pointing to the screen, he then continued on, "Believe me when I say that all of us wish that there were easier options to deal with Godzilla and the other monsters." Before anyone else could remark, he then finished in an icy tone, "However some of those options were too bitter to contemplate."
Even with the long hard looks of the G-Force commanders and the Vice-President, some of them grumbled before Pat Miner asked icily, "If we were to use some of these options now, would they still be bitter to contemplate?" His intended recipients all nodded simultaneously which surprised the others in the room.
Seeing a need to calm things down despite agreeing with his security advisor, President Calhoun attempted to take command as he commented on the progress, "You sure that you can hold him at the moment."
The uniformed men in the room nodded in agreement and one of them remarked while taking a glance at his G-Force counterparts, "If we can ensure the speedy deployment of reserves and keep our casualties down then we can hold him as long as we need to." He then paused before stating, "If things can get even better then we may be able to push him back and I for one would like to use that option."
Calhoun nodded before he replied, "Alright keep that option in mind." He then turned to look at the screen where Godzilla continued to torch targets left and right with his atomic ray. He then turned to look warily at the G-Force commanders and commented, "Doesn't it get too depressing to you guys?" The G-Force members winced before they all turned back to watch the battle continue inexorably on.
Somewhere along route 613, between Jubail and Dammam
February 14th, 20XX, 5:00am
As dawn began to approach, both combatants still had an enormous amount of fight left. Powered up by the nearly infinite amount of nuclear energy coursing through his body, Godzilla continued to march while lashing out at those that dared to challenge him. When his foes began to fight harder, Godzilla retaliated even more violently, often firing his atomic ray at both the sky and the ground.
For their part, the international forces fought savagely as they attempted to wrest control of the battle from the monster. Due to the enormous size of the military force facing Godzilla; it allowed the respective commanders to rotate their heavily damaged or exhausted units out of the line while others took their place so to keep up the pressure. Unfortunately, that didn't happen fast enough as the pounding they endured at the hands of Godzilla rendered them hours de combat in a short time. In addition, word had spread of Godzilla's enormous power so many felt as if they had done something horrifically wrong when their superiors ordered them into the breach.
Blinking his eyes as the shells continued to explode all around his head, Godzilla let out an enormous roar before he fired once again his atomic ray so to clear the sky in front of him. Growing his teeth in annoyance as a seemingly endless wave of men and machines entered into his line of sight, Godzilla's eyes burned with anger as he fired several shots of his atomic ray onto the ground units before marching straight at them.
The tankmen watched in horror as Godzilla soon towered right on top of them before they got back into their vehicles with some of them deciding to flee while others stood their ground. Using everything they knew, the tankers operated in teams and drove in at full speed as they tried to force Godzilla back or slow him down even more.
Rear-Admiral Andrew Bergen winced as he watched the ground and air units hold on against Godzilla's wrath. After he saw several F/A-18E/F Super Hornets fly blindly into Godzilla's line of fire, he turned to Toni Carlson and remarked quietly, "I know that it all ends up to luck but still this may seem too much to ask from those that lead."
With a pained expression on her face, Carlson replied, "Indeed and one must wonder if it is a good idea to rely on too much luck." Wincing as Godzilla answered her question by incinerating several more F/A-18E/Fs, she then added, "Though to them, they'll take all the luck they can get and deal with the rest later."
Bergen was about to reply before a roar caught their attention and both turned to see Godzilla advancing nearby, his blood-red eyes burning into the souls of all that witnessed his destructive power. Heading to a nearby vehicle, Bergen turned and remarked, "I think it's time to get some distance don't you think."
Regaining her composure, Carlson remarked, "Agreed but we shouldn't go too far, eh." Several explosions on the ground then attracted her attention, as Godzilla sudden charge seemed to open a hole in the lines as the ground forces seemingly parted ways under the monster's assault. Turning to look at the screens for several moments, she then contacted the G-Force generals to update them on the situation, "Repeat, Godzilla is about to break through, suggest you strengthen defenses at key areas."
Meanwhile Bergen found himself in the position of an E-3 controller as he helped direct the ground and air units hammering away at Godzilla. As he watched Godzilla use his atomic ray, the admiral winced before he remarked quietly, "Man, I never thought that I'd find myself being a ground-pounder once again."
For the other nations, confusion reigned as they attempted to coordinate their own efforts with that of the G-Force units. Neither either helped each other due to the conflict in goals with the G-Force commanders if not their men willing to stand and fight all the way while the other commanders advocated for decisive action or for full retreat.
Watching from his own BMP, General Borodin winced as he saw Godzilla smash aside several of his vehicles before he set off after others. When he spotted several survivors getting out of their wrecked tanks, he breathed a sigh of relief before he remarked, "At least they're still alive." Several explosions confirmed his thoughts as he turned to find the melted remains of T-72s and T-90s and he asked aloud, "How much more of this horror can we take."
Though he roared in glee at the target rich environment, Godzilla also growled with anger at the immense resistance his foes threw up to block him. Sniffing the air around him, Godzilla's blood red eyes searched for any important targets as well as the opposition before he resumed his advance.
Soon though, the resistance began to stiffen even more as the view in front of Godzilla seemed to swarm with tanks and aircraft. Snarling as he observed the opposition, Godzilla roared out into the sky before he charged headlong once more against his foes while they pounded away at him to no noticeable effect. Smashing aside or burning down tanks and planes while keeping the rest at a distance, Godzilla marched his way past through his foes as his blood-red eyes spotted a large group of lights off in the distance and he bellowed loudly as he seemed to smell the fear that emanated from his foes.
When the local ground forces spotted Godzilla heading towards the city of Damman, the information set them off in frenzy with some of them deciding to stand, fight and die while the rest tried to gain distance to regroup. That process soon repeated itself in the air as the fighters from the local airfields even made runs at the monster despite having no ammunition.
Back at their command post, the G-Force field commanders worriedly watched as they saw the assembled forces began to disperse. Soon several different voices came in on the radio with many of them begging for instruction and some ordering out instructions of their own.
As he heard several voices came on the line at the same time, Torii winced before he remarked to his colleagues, "If we retreat then we have chaos but if we stand and fight then we expose ourselves to much danger."
Middleton nodded before one of the voices came on the line advocating retreat. Taking a deep harsh breath, he got on the line and spoke to the panicky commander, "Negative, fall back but do not disengage from friendly forces." Other voices, including some Americans that have not had the experience also came on the line with such speed that Middleton winced and whispered harshly, "You damn idiots."
Much closer to the combat zone, Benson, Shiratori and their fellow commanders engaged in a vicious firefight against their own enemy. Using a mix of old and new tactics, they buried the monster in an avalanche of fire while luring him away from his present destination. At the same time, they attempted to rally elements from other units and get them back into the fight for although the commanders could fight a long time if they could, well their own individual forces would sooner tire out or becomes hours de combat.
Enraged at the resistance, Godzilla bellowed as he continued to march inexorably against his enemy, his tail and feet smashing anything in front of him and he scattered the rest with his atomic ray. Bellowing angrily as fire came in from all sides, his dorsal fins lit up and he fired his atomic ray in a wide circle all around him. Even though it killed some and scattered the rest, some continued to press the assault, their long and short-range weapons spitting out enormous amount of lead. All it did was to attract Godzilla and he soon repaid them for their foolish actions by vaporizing them.
As both Carter and Nobunaga landed back at the airbase, they could already see traces of missile fire from the ground heading into the night sky towards Godzilla. With the ugly thought that Godzilla was operating nearby, Carter turned to some of the crews and ordered them in a harsh voice, "Get our planes ready to go as soon as possible." He then turned to Nobunaga who was looking out at the other planes that were also landing at this particular location before asking, "Any ideas on the losses?"
Nobunaga shook his head before he remarked, "They're already bad enough and if things get hotter then it's going to get high and not just due to the bastard." As if someone on high had an ugly sense of humor, a series of nearby explosions attracted their attention and they turned to see the wrecks of several planes on top of each other with crews and pilots scrambling about in panic. Cursing loudly, Nobunaga remarked bitterly to Carter, "And if we didn't have enough problems already to deal with."
Eventually Godzilla's incredible power began to overwhelm the remaining defenders and soon even the G-Force units began to scatter, as they knew that to stay any longer would risk total destruction. From on high, it looked as if the ground forces parted ways in front of the king of the monsters in a manner similar to the Red Sea. Roaring in victory, Godzilla soon increased his speed as he headed towards the mass of lights while firing rapid shots against his foes that tried to attack him while on the run.
In the streets of the city itself, the evacuation had been proceeding apace for the past several hours in an order fashion. However when Godzilla appeared over the horizon, panic set in as the monster seemingly charged towards the outskirts. Soon the monster's feet and tail began to demolish the high-rise buildings and streets as he began his advance through the outer edges of the town.
Even though they were exhausted, several units had stumbled into the city and when they spotted Godzilla, they immediately opened fire on the onrushing kaiju. Soon reinforcements began to arrive although now their problems began to multiply once again as they now engaged Godzilla in an urban area, which was the worst place be in terms of a battle zone. Godzilla immediately responded by smashing the structures around him before he brought his main weapon to bear.
From their vantage point, both Bergen and Carlson winced as they saw Godzilla marching close by. Several moments of silence reigned before Carlson remarked, "Damn, you think we'd get used to this bloody mess by now." Bergen didn't say anything as Carlson then continued, "I wonder if we have anything left to send to try and help the rest on the ground."
Thinking of this as Bergen looked through his binoculars at the nuclear saurian nearing towards the coast, Bergen remarked in an equally tired tone, "We have a lot to send but how many want to go back in there." He then turned to look at the coast for one more time before he then got on the line with Omori, "Omori-san, this is Bergen, come in."
It took a few minutes before the Japanese admiral got on the line, "Report status."
Wasting no time, Bergen told him while looking back at the maps, "Godzilla is nearing the coast, request movement of fleet to engage."
The American admiral waited for several seconds before the Japanese admiral came back on the line, "We've noted your information and are giving the green light now." A moment of silence followed before Omori continued by stating, "We're signaling everyone to give their exact locations so we can pull this off." He then finished by stating, "Keep reporting in and be careful." Both American admirals nodded as the connection ceased and they got back to the battle.
In the rubble strewn streets, small groups of tanks and other AFVs from many different countries attempted to organize in the chaos going all around them. Though the problems of different languages and different command structures did creep up alongside old hatreds, the sight of Godzilla bearing down on them all forced them into action and soon they started firing their weapons as Godzilla closed in on them.
Manama, Bahrain
February 14th, 5:30am
When word came through that Godzilla entered the city outskirts, many in the room collectively winced as they all knew the significance of the city that Godzilla now ravaged. Already the Saudis were demanding that the rest send in their forces and drive the monster out. The others in turn rejected the idea due to the exhaustion of their own forces.
Watching the screens as footage of the battle continued to play, General Tachibana and Commander Saegusa winced as Godzilla continued to devastate everything in sight. After watching Godzilla torch several more of their forces, Tachibana turned to the commander and asked quietly, "Any ideas on what to do next?"
Saegusa shook her head and replied in a harsh tone, "Nothing that can completely salvage the situation." Pausing for a moment, she then continued on, "We both know what Godzilla is capable of so anything that anybody will do will cost them heavily."
Before the two could talk any further, the operators at the controls updated everyone with the news that Godzilla would soon advance into the heart of the city. All turned to see the king of the monsters smash through the well modernized buildings and highway while streaks of gun and energy fire pounded his skin from all sides. In return, Godzilla turned whole sections of the city on fire with his atomic breath, the flames killing or flushing out his foes.
This was enough for the Saudis and their Arab allies and they immediately started to swarm around the G-Force officials while cajoling them to do more. Soon most of the commanders from the other nations surrounded the UNGCC officials although some remained behind.
It only took a few seconds for this latest flare up to turn into a full-fledged argument as Tachibana replied repeatedly, "We'll take your suggestions under advisement."
That was not enough for one of the Saudi officials replied harshly, "If you don't do this then not only will this battle will get even worse but we'll hold you responsible." Before anyone could answer, he continued in an angry tone, "You profess to be the professionals on such matters as this but so far it hasn't done really anything at all."
The UNGCC commanders bristled at that before Tachibana yelled back, "We did everything that we could to keep casualties to a minimum and in fact we'd had arguments amongst each other as to deal with this crisis." Pointing to the screen, he then yelled out, "Trust me, it could have been a lot worse especially with that now we're entering into an urban area." He then finished by stating harshly, "You have any better idea then you're more than welcome to try."
Equally bristling at the statement, one of the other commanders yelled back, "You operate under the auspices of the UN which consists of all of and now we're all giving you orders and that you have to follow them." Pausing for a moment, he then finished by stating, "Now if you don't then it will adversely affect you and your colleagues here."
Wincing at the statement, the field commander of all UNGCC units looked at the maps as many units seemingly rushed into the city and towards Godzilla before he turned to one of the other officers and yelled out, "Get all commanders on the line now." A few minutes later, he replied out the orders given to him from above, "Send everything into the city and stand, fight and die." With that, he turned to exchange an angry look with his hosts before turning back to the battle.
Northern outskirts of Dammam, Saudi Arabia
7:10am, February 14th, 201X.
Already a game of cat and mouse had begun as the forces in front of Godzilla struggled to hold him and if possible push him back. Unfortunately, the monster's advantages continued to increase as the rubble from destroyed buildings killed or buried alive those caught in the crossfire. The rubble also created roadblocks that prevented units from falling back in good order or reinforcements from getting to them.
As his blood-red eyes watched his foes scatter, Godzilla bellowed in glee before he resumed his march, his feet and tail smashing aside anything directly in his path. He soon brought his main weapon to bear as the resulting flames flushed out his foes as they attempted to fight then hide from the monster's wrath.
With Godzilla and the military using the buildings for their own purpose, they both flattened entire districts as the monster advanced into the city. Though it helped them stay alive, the fact that the tank units poured everything on Godzilla incited the king of the monsters into further violence with the result it wiped whole sections off the face of the Earth.
Now riding in their respective helicopters, the frontline commanders saw for themselves the scale of the devastation. Flying above an endless row of destroyed buildings and burned out hulks sent shivers down the spines of the Europeans and most of the Americans as they considered the thought that if the cold war had turned hot, then the same devastation would have visited their homelands. For the G-Force veterans, it was more personal.
In a newly established field command post, the G-Force ground commanders along with Admiral Omori tried to put the new plan into action. Already they had run into problems, as some of their own forces could not disengage while others were incapable of action. In addition, when they tried to coordinate with their allies, trouble soon developed as the others had their own plans.
After switching off the link with one of the Russian units, Middleton turned to his colleagues and swore loudly, "Damn, it's like talking to a brick wall with these guys." Before anyone could ask, he answered their question, "While the Saudis and the other Arabs want to defend every inch of ground, the others are pulling up excuses out of the wind to avoid engaging while others are screaming orders down to us."
Wincing at that, Torii then turned to Omori and asked, "When can the ships get into position?" Omori instantly gave him the information to which got Torii thinking for several moments before he came to a decision, "Do you think that we can get our maser units on the ground into separate units by any chance?"
The others looked at him in surprise before it all dawned on them as Torii explained what he had in mind, "Although they're not the same exact weapons used, I think it's time to resort to that option." His fellow commanders winced as he continued to brief them, "We break up our maser tank units and use them to lure Godzilla towards the coast."
His fellow commanders winced for they had an idea of what he had in mind but they found it risky. For one thing, the maser weapons they had did not have the expected range to pull off such a tactic and plus it would expose them to even more danger than they were already in. However, they really had no other ideas as Omori said for them all, "Well since we've already done much improvising then why not another."
When the G-Force tank units received word of the change in orders, a mix of emotions coursed through them with the maser tank drivers horrified at the plan while the other tank drivers felt relief for getting out of dodge. Although it took some time, the MBT-92 and MBAW-93 split off from their parent units before they started blasting away at Godzilla's hide with blue-energy fire.
Godzilla blinked for a moment at the attack before he growled in anger as several well placed energy blasts struck near his eyes. Opening his mouth in an enormous roar, Godzilla then started to hunt for the maser units as they tried to open up the distance. The devastation from the earlier combat soon played to Godzilla's advantage for it blocked the escape route of some of the tank units, leaving them to Godzilla's wrath as he approached.
At the same time, several mortar teams also sprang into action and soon added their firepower to that of the maser tanks as they attempted to fall back. Though vulnerable if not more so than the AFVs, they had a better chance to escape from Godzilla's wrath, especially the portable ones. Even when Godzilla arrived almost nearly top of them, they continued to pour shells on and around the monster before they switched positions.
Though the energy blasts and shellfire did not harm Godzilla, the continual stinging strikes drew his attention away towards the coast and away from his other foes. Roaring angrily at the resistance, Godzilla increased his speed while he fired several shots of his atomic breath. Busy fighting each other, both combatants smashed the remains of the Saudi city that suffered damage just thirty minutes ago.
After a seemingly long period, the combatants soon entered into the undamaged portions of the city as they neared the coast. It helped both sides for now the maser tanks and their accompanying mortar teams could maneuver better while Godzilla had a clear line of sight to them as well and soon the fighting spread to the untouched areas.
Though fighting spectacularly against all the odds, the G-Force units and their fellow allies wondered when they would be relieved for the orders that they had just pulled off had cost them very heavily.
They would soon get their answer as the warships of international fleet were busy steaming into range and their commanders were busying establishing communications links with the shore and their own naval commanders. While tracking the battle by their radar systems, the lead ships soon caught sight of the ground fighting.
While eager to kill more of his foes in front of him, Godzilla suddenly sniffed the air for a moment as he sensed that he would have more visitors heading his way. Bellowing out in challenge with no answer, Godzilla returned towards blasting away remaining maser and mortar units as they tried to regroup while returning the favor.
Flying over the battle zone in an UH-60 Blackhawk, Bergen and Carlson watched intently as the monster closed towards the ocean. Though they and their fellow high-level commanders understood the need for the ships to jump in, they restrained themselves from giving the order for two reasons: the closer Godzilla was to the coast, the better and they needed more ships in the area to make it work. Still it proved a long wait as they saw the fighting on the ground. In fact after a few minutes, Carlson then contacted the other commanders and told them, "Whatever you do you'd better do it now for our units won't last any longer out there."
It took a few minutes of quiet conversation on the other end of the line before Omori asked the American admirals, "Do you believe we should engage?"
The two American admirals looked hard at each other for a moment as if trying to find agreement to the question. The immediately found it before Bergen told the Japanese admiral, "Sir, we believe that we should bring in the naval vessels."
On his end, Omori looked at his fellow G-Force commanders who all had the same look on their faces before he turned back and spoke on the communications link the words, "Signal them to commence firing."
While the ground forces continued to pound away at him, Godzilla's eyes soon caught sight of the ships waiting off the coast with their guns already trained on him. Growling as he saw the scale of the opposition, Godzilla let out an ear-splitting roar as if signaling his foes to take their shot at him and see how well they do. They would oblige him as their decks flashed orange with gunfire and missiles fired at point blank range.
Stunned by the firepower, Godzilla stumbled backward as he attempted to shake off the shock of the blasts of the cruise missiles exploding at point blank range. Blinking his eyes to deal with the enormous flashes of light, Godzilla roared out in challenge as he turned to face the new arrivals, his eyes burning hot with malice. Because the new arrivals fired weapons with a heavier hitting power, they became Godzilla's target as he advanced through a hail of maser and mortar fire to close in on them.
From their bridges, the captains of the warships watched in awe as Godzilla advanced through the firestorm that they threw up with the most modern weapons. Although he did not have a clear shot at them, the sight of the monster heading ever closer sent chills down their spines and it took much for them to hold their grounds as their CIWS soon began spitting out machine gun fire even though the monster was still out range.
With Godzilla busy dealing with the naval forces, the rest of the combined military force, many of them stunned at the scale of the loss. Arguments soon began to follow as to deciding what to do next although they all agreed that they needed to drive the monster out of the urban areas and into open ground.
Though hammered on all sides from the sea and in the air in the form of helicopters, Godzilla turned back to advance through the Saudi City and this time with almost no opposition from the ground. Fortunately, most of the population had managed to get to shelter, leaving it almost a ghost town.
Landing back outside the UNGCC field command post, Bergen and Carlson rejoined their friends and all exchanged thanks of safety before they gave their views of what they saw to their colleagues.
Bergen went first as he said, "We've all seen our fair share of combat but if you were to have gone up to the front to take a look for yourself, you would feel as if you were a new private." He paused for a moment to let it sink in before he continued on, "But as of right now, I think that we're holding him."
Carlson then jumped in, "It won't last for long and already the barrier we've thrown around him is starting to fray so if you're going to do something well do it soon."
The others looked at each other before Middleton replied to them, "Well it seems most are in agreement but all have different ideas on how to do it." Before anyone could ask, he pointed at the map before continuing on, "The Arab nations and several of the others want to attack now while the rest want to only use the naval and air units to lure him out of the city."
Bergen winced and Carlson replied harshly, "Both sides are insane if you ask me here." Before anyone could answer in agreement, she then added, "The ground troops will need time to refit and yet we can't force him out of there without their help."
Torii raised a hand to calm her down before he said in an exasperated tone, "Don't you think that we've said that to them and if you're wondering, Tachibana and the others are still arguing with them." Pausing to look at the recent information, he then said, "It will take at least an hour if not two for the ground units to re-organize and longer for our main air units."
All turned to look at the screens with one thought on their mind, "We don't have that long to wait."
Back at the harbor, the ships and helicopters pounded Godzilla from all sides with the numerous explosions and the thick smoke blinding Godzilla. In return, he slashed and swung his tail at his airborne assailants while moving along the harbor and demolishing the vital facilities.
To the veteran helicopter pilots, the monster's resistance forced them to use all of their skills to stay alive and for some it was not enough as clawed hands sliced them into pieces or they crashed into a fast moving tail. For those that had to break off to reload, they felt a sense of relief and when they got back, it turned into exhaustion with some numb at the experience. In fact, some did not want to go back up and others had to force them at gunpoint to get back into their cockpits.
In their staging areas, the survivors of the past eight hours gathered their strength and took stock of the situation with all of them having different reactions. For the G-Force commanders they felt a mix of pride at performing well in a command role and shock due to the casualties the monster inflicted on them. For the rest they had apoplectic reactions as they looked at the butcher's bill that one would have read in the history books from the last century.
After looking at the latest report, Borodin took a deep breath and leaned back into his chair as he tried to deal with what he had seen during the past few hours. Though he had seen his fair share of combat, this reminded him more of the training he went through as a private and of the things that he had read in the history books. When some of the G-Force commanders came into view, he shivered at the looks on their faces and wondered aloud if they may have been generals in the former Red Army in another lifetime.
Manama Bahrain
8:50am, February 14th, 201X.
With the naval forces and the helicopter units attracting Godzilla's attention, the high-level commanders in the room also took stock of the situation and of the actions of the G-Force commanders. Though they ranged across the spectrum, almost all of them had bad thoughts about the Americans and Japanese that operated under the UN banner.
The American commanders had the worst of it as they read the butcher's bill repeatedly while looking to see if their "colleagues" had the same reaction and to their disgust, it seemed that it didn't faze them at all. Instead of showing any outward sign of remorse, they continued to press on and it took all of their professionalism not to corner one of their own and then "torture" that particular target to get the anger out of their own system.
Several of the others, particularly the Israelis shared that view as they saw their armies endure horrific losses at the hands of Godzilla. In fact, they had the same common thought as some of their American counterparts in that they should be using extreme measures to stop these things. The rest of the commanders in the room felt shaken by the intensity of the fighting as well as the numbers and more than one of them compared this to the beginning of World War I when all combatants started to realize the scale of what they had unleashed upon the world.
In the case of the Arabs, they were exceptionally incensed as they saw their homelands go up in flames and their own brethren die in horrific numbers. The fact that the rest of the world created these horrors just increased their anger further and it was only by maintaining their professionalism that ensured that they would attempt to work with them to defeat these god-like creatures although it would be difficult in the best of circumstances.
UNGCC headquarters
Tsukaba, Japan
The main control room at the UNGCC headquarters remained icily silent as its occupants watched the battle on the main screen. All of its occupants, whether old or new had the same solemn look on their faces as they watched their "brothers-in-arms" fight against the great enemy.
After watching Godzilla torch several Type 90s and M1A2 Abrams, Fukuzawa remarked to his colleagues, "I thought that our collective experience plus what we've seen during these past few months would prepare us for our first full engagement with Godzilla." Pausing for a moment, he then added, "I guess we were all wrong."
The others, all having been the in the same room long ago, all nodded before Aso whispered for them all, "This already has surpassed the later days of the last war and in fact the only thing that comes close is that dammed incident."
At that, everyone paled as if the grim reaper was about but fortunately present events broke those thoughts as one of the aides turned and yelled out loud, "Sir, we have a message from General Tachibana."
Nodding, Fukuzawa turned back to the main screen where Tachibana sent them all an update. After reading it, they all looked at each other for several moments before Fukuzawa asked one of the others, "Have our people in Washington received this yet?"
One of the others nodded while some of the others read the message for themselves before one of them asked the rest, "With the losses that all have suffered, do you think that they can pull it off?" Although all feared the answer, not even the Director had the courage to answer that question and instead, all hoped that the fickle fortunes of war would prove them dead wrong.
Author's Notes:
-I had planned to do one whole battle in this chapter but due to the scale of what was going on plus personal things and other projects persuaded me to cut this down to two chapters. With that, I decided to use a scene of the UNGCC to end the chapter to show that many around the world are also watching and are caught up in it although far away. In fact, I did not intend to put us back to Japan when I first thought the battle up.
-Although this area had been visited before in an earlier chapter, I decided to do it against just by random pick mostly.
-It may seem odd for the G-Force commanders who are in the navy to go ashore but I wanted to get my characters somewhat more involved as possible so that was why the admirals headed towards the beach to help their army colleagues.
-I don't know if I mentioned this yet but while there are many human characters well you can organize them into three categories: those that are on the UNGCC (and therefore the main protagonists here) and then the Middle East populations and the rest of the world (both antagonists that have opposing viewpoints of each other as well as the UNGCC). In other words, it's a three-way human war alongside with the war against the monsters.
-If this looks like a rushed job then I apologize for it.
Author's Questions:
-Should I just have the monster head back to the ocean after leaving or head towards another target to do more damage?
-I suspect that some of you may have already said this or notice this but do you think I should tone down the language that well nearly all of my characters use since they seem to skirt too close to reality of the situation right now in the world and all that.
-So what do you think of the blood-fest thus far. I know that it may get somewhat boring at times but I did try to write a good all-out ground attack.
-A theoretical question that I have to ask here. If I got lucky then after looking on all of the Godzilla stories that I've done, well you get the idea.
As always please read and review.
