OK here it is, the epic conclusion to this story as well as the longest chapter I've ever written. enjoy :)
CH.10
Dirt sprayed up into the air in a great gush reminiscent of old faithful as Godzilla finally resurfaced, chunks of earth falling off of him as he tilted his head back and let out a great roar. Surveying the scene, he found the other two monsters down- and a new monster floating above them. He eyed the strange, multi-colored butterfly and wondered how this weak looking insect could be the last one standing in any fight. He was curious and he wanted to find out. But before he could challenge this new monster, a strange noise drew both their attention upwards.
Dylan had crawled out of Moguera via the escape hatch and was running through the wreckage of London, which was mostly flattened by the melee that had occurred. The sound of Godzilla's roar behind him only quickened his pace, but now there was a new sound, a loud hum coming from the heavens. Dylan looked and saw both Godzilla and the strange insect that had saved staring at the clouds above, and he turned his attention to the skies as well. Suddenly the clouds broke, and a gigantic ship appeared. This was larger than anything seen on earth before, and its sheer size baffled Dylan. Back on the ship the others had taken notice as well.
"The hell is that?" George exclaimed.
"It's certainly larger than the one I saw." said Dr. Honda.
"Must be the Mother Ship," Dr. Smithson said, "large enough to support billions, a portable home for an entire race."
Then the bottom of the ship opened up, and a huge blue beam shot down and hit the earth below. Suddenly there was a flash, and in the beams place there stood a new monster. Everyone gasped as they realized who it was…it was King Ghidorah.
The Nebulans had converted Ghidorah's body into a cyborg, just as they had done with Gigan and Megalon before. The entire torso was replaced with metal, and the wings had been replaced as well. He now had metal bands around his legs, as well as metal barbs on the ends of his twin tails. But the most striking difference was the head. His middle head and serpentine neck, which Godzilla had torn off in their last encounter, had been replaced by a robotic head and neck. This new Mecha-King Ghidorah tilted his heads back and roared, the same shrill cry he'd had before, but with a certain echo and a mechanical whir which suggested that reparations had been made to the creature's vocal chords.
Upon seeing his resurrected foe and hearing his voice, Godzilla let out his own roar in defiance. Mosura also joined the kaiju shouting match, issuing her own cry. As Ghidorah scanned his opponents, memories from his past life flooded his thought processors. These were his two greatest opponents, the only two kaiju to ever defeat him in battle- and now he would have his retribution. With a speed unlike anything else ever witnessed, Mecha-King Ghidorah zipped across the battlefield and delivered a kick to the chest of Godzilla, before he even knew what hit him. The battle was on. As Godzilla flew backwards, Ghidorah prepared for a counter-attack, only to be interrupted when Mosura hit him with an energy blast that sent him staggering. Ghidorah flew at Mosura, but she banked up. He followed suit, and soon they were engaged in mid-air aerial combat. A quick tail-whip sent Mosura back down towards earth, but before Ghidorah could chase down after her, Godzilla was back on his feet and firing a volley of his atomic blasts up at the cybernetic dragon. Though Ghidorah dodged the majority of these attacks, a couple of them hit the Nebulan ship. As the vessel shook from the explosions, Z shouted.
"Order Ghidorah back to the surface!"
Receiving his electronic commands, Ghidorah dropped back down to the surface, landing with a boom. Godzilla re-aimed, but Ghidorah beat him to the punch and unleashed his own energy attack. His two organic heads still fired the golden lightning as they had before, but the robotic head fired a powerful purple laser beam. The combination of these two elements knocked Godzilla on his ass, but again Mosura entered the fray. By flapping her wings she created great winds, as well as release a sparkly powder substance that seemed to weaken Ghidorah. Still, Ghidorah powered through the attack and tackled his foe. But the distraction from Mosura had given Godzilla all the time he needed. He pounced at Ghidorah mid-air and the hand-to-hand combat began. Watching the battle, Dylan felt as if he was re-living the first battle he had witnessed a little over a year ago. Godzilla and Ghidorah, the two mightiest kaiju, wrestling for dominance. Mosura had also regained her composure now, and gave Godzilla air support- firing at Ghidorah from above. Ghidorah generated a gust of wind, knocking Godzilla backwards momentarily. Then, taking advantage of the personal space he created, Ghidorah again flew up after Mosura. With a swing of his tails, the metal barbs tore one of Mosura's wings. In pain, Mosura spiraled out of control and crashed down miles away. Ghidorah then performed a coup de grace, hitting the grounded insect with his energy beams.
With Mosura out of commission, Ghidorah landed again and refocused on Godzilla. The dinosaur had regained his footing now, and the two stared each other down. With another roar, Godzilla charged his enemy at full speed. Suddenly, Ghidorah's chest opened up, and a huge robotic claw shot out and grabbed Godzilla. Godzilla shook violently, trying to break his enemy's grip. But it was no use. Suddenly, for giant cables shot out of Ghidorah's torso. At the end of each cable were huge grappling hooks, and upon contact they lodged themselves inside Godzilla's flesh. Godzilla howled with pain, but that was just the beginning. Suddenly Ghidorah channeled his energy through the cables, attempting to cook Godzilla from the inside out.
"Brilliant." said Smithson, "It's just like that attack he used last time. But Godzilla escaped that by issuing a nuclear pulse. So this time, they're literally keeping him at an arm's distance."
At the end of the attack, Ghidorah withdrew his arm as well as the taser cables and Godzilla fell limply to the ground.
"Is he…dead?" asked Z.
"Scans show that his life signs are dropping quickly sir. The cellular damage is immense. It would take a miracle to save him now."
"Then we did it…our revenge is complete…and the earth is ours!" Z shouted victoriously as he began to cackle madly.
"It's all over now." George said under his breath, "We're royally fucked."
Dylan ran through the wreckage, a man on a mission. The strange butterfly had crashed nearby, and he was determined to have a look. When he reached her, he couldn't believe his eyes. She had lost her color, and was slowly dying. But it wasn't her that amazed him. Standing in front of her, there were two small women. At first he could've sworn that they were mere toys, but then they spoke.
"We knew that this would happen. We tried to convince her not to join in the fight."
Dylan was in disbelief. "What happens now?"
"We're afraid the earth is doomed. We will continue to defend our island and its people, to the best of our ability."
"And Mosura?"
"We're taking her back home to die in peace rather than here in this ruin."
But then Mosura spoke. She issued a loud shriek, and the tiny women reacted with shock.
"You want to do what? You can't Mosura! Don't you think you've done enough?"
But again the monster protested, and with a "fine" the tiny women began to sing in their native tongue. As they did this, the same energies that Akio had noticed enter Mosura began to float into the air, across the battlefield, and into Godzilla!
"What's happening?" Z demanded.
"Sir, it appears that the dying insect creature…is attempting to heal Godzilla!"
"Well stop him!"
The Nebulans sent these commands to Ghidorah, who fired his energy attack towards Mosura. Dylan ducked in fear, but Ghidorah's attack was stopped. It appears that the tiny women's song had created a force-field around their dying friend. At last the final bit of energy left Mosura's body, and she died there. But as the energy finished entering Godzilla, his eyes opened and he leapt back to his feet. The earth energy flowed around him, making him stronger than ever. Ghidorah fired at him, and he countered with his own blast. It was the same atomic fire that he always wielded, but with the rainbow-colored energies swirling around it. When the two creature's rays collided, there was an explosion of epic proportions which knocked Ghidorah flying back. But the super-powered Godzilla charged through the explosion, pouncing on Ghidorah. With his opponent on the ground, Godzilla went into beat down mode, clawing and stomping Ghidorah into the dirt. In a last ditch effort to regain control, Ghidorah's torso opened up again and the giant claw shot out, lifting Godzilla up into the air. But Godzilla used this to his advantage, firing another great energy blast down into his enemy's exposed mechanical core.
Boom.
Another explosion, far greater than the last. What had remained of London was quickly swept away. Dylan would've been vaporized had it not been for the force field that his mysterious little friends were still generating. Out at sea, the G- force ship rocked as the far-off explosion created waves of immense size. Even the alien ship above felt the turbulence. As the smoke cleared, there was little left of Ghidorah, who had been blown into a million pieces. There was now a huge crater where the battle had been happening before, which was now quickly filling with water from the Thames. And standing at the center of that crater was Godzilla, a little beaten up but otherwise ok.
"No!" Z screamed. "Why? Why can't I kill you?"
"Sir the rest of the fleet is retreating. What do we do?"
"Fall back! This isn't over, we will return!"
And so they began to turn the ship around. But, as Godzilla heard the humming once again, and saw them going back into the clouds, he decided that we wouldn't let them go so easy. He had spent most of the strange energy given to him by his dead ally, but he had enough left for one last blast. He fired at the retreating ship; just as it begin breaking the stratosphere. The explosion on impact was so great that the ship began to break apart. In the control room, the Nebulans were scrambling and panicking.
"Sir, what do we do?"
"I don't know what you'll do," Z replied. "But I've got a pod." He hit a button on his control chair, and the floor opened up, four alls coming out and forming a pod around him.
"But sir, what about us?"
"Screw you." And he was gone. As his pod ejected and fell back down to the earth's surface, the ship exploded as Godzilla's blast powered through the ship and went out into the vastness of space. Godzilla ended his blast when he saw the explosion. The chunks of the ship burnt up as they entered the atmosphere, creating a sky full of shooting stars. All of the earth energy now spent, Godzilla began climbing his way out of the enormous crater he had created.
As the doors of his pod opened, Z realized he was in the ocean, as water lapped the sides of his pod and splashed him in the face. Suddenly, he heard several clicking sounds. Turning, he saw that he was next to the G-force ship. Atop the deck there stood a dozen soldiers, guns drawn and pointed at him. Akio was with them.
"Well well well, it appears the tables have turned."
Dylan smiled as he watched Godzilla enter the ocean again. This wasn't over of course, Godzilla was still a global threat and he was still determined to avenge Dr. Everett's death, and so under his breath he said the same words he had said in Sydney such a short time ago.
"Next time, you damned lizard…"
