Sorry for the delay! I took a short break after that massive pump out of chapters. Hope you enjoy! Don't forget to review! Reviews drive a story to become better! Also, I am considering bringing in other monsters from the franchise like Mothra or Rodan. PM me to leave your opinion on that. Enjoy!
Grey sat in his room holding his head. Something was wrong. Very wrong. It had all started back in the base, where that madman had warped nature itself and created the hybrids. There was only two in the world. Two sane ones at least.
And Grey was the first. The second had been a girl, and she had been manipulated by the same madman who twisted their DNA into what they were now. She was still struggling to come to terms with the truth. Grey and her had fought within the base, and Grey won due to his sheer ferocity and rage. However, those were not traits that Grey had exhibited until this point, and it worried Grey. If he hadn't gotten a hold of himself, their may not have been much left of her. She was recovering in her own isolated chamber. The only one she had contact with was Grey, and even then, he had grown distant, lost in thought. It worried everyone.
And then came the last hybrid. That same madman had injected himself with a new serum that was not matched to his DNA. Should the serum not match the DNA, the one injected would mutate into a horrific beast and lose their mind. Not that he was capable of losing his mind, since he had already lost it. Now he was a monstrous cross of Godzilla's, the MUTO's and the last creature that Godzilla had fought's DNA. His mind was set on transforming the human race into hybrids, but he was last seen trapped inside the base as it collapsed. No one knew if he was still alive, but no one missed him. Grey got up as a doctor walked into his room.
"I got the test results back. You were right. There is a problem. It appears that high ammounts of stress or anger triggers a sort of state of mind. Not another personality, but a state of mind. It's almost as if you go 'primal'."
Then it clicked.
"It must be a side effect of my mutated genetic structure. My mix of human, and Godzilla's DNA."
The doctor nodded gravely.
"There isn't much we can do about it, besides you having to practice emotional control to an extreme."
The boy nodded. He stood up and began to walk at a fast, measured pace toward where the the other hybrid's room was. He knocked twice and waited. She answered the door a moment later, and the two walked to the meeting room.
"We have a problem."
And so, he told her of the side effect the doctors had discovered, and of the dangers it posed to everyone.
"As to whether or not your mind has been affected by the serum in this way, we don't know. You said they used an advanced formula, so the side effects may have been reduced, but until we know, you have to control your emotions with an iron grip. If either of us lets slip, there may not be much left of the base."
They said their farewells, and went their seperate ways once more.
I need to speak to Serizawa about this. If anyone can help us, he can.
Grey found Serizawa in the lab, observing a device that could launch a net that could sap the radiation out of a creature. This would allow them to subdue Kaiju without killing them. The net was designed to only drain a small fraction of radiation from the source. Grey walked up to Serizawa and told him of the problem.
"That is troubling news indeed. I suppose the only option right now is to keep control unless you need the boost. By the way, I..."
"Sir, we've picked up an enormous seismic disturbance coming from nearby the old base! Also, we've picked an massive radiation spike that doesn't match any known patterns!"
Serizawa looked seriously at the moniter.
"Get a team down there. Try to isolate the source."
Grey's expression hardened. He had a dut feeling that this wasn't going to end well. He needed to speak to someone, but right now, there was only one thing that could help him.
Meanwhile, the other hybrid was busy wracking her brains, trying to dig up bits of her past. No wonder she listened to them, they had practically brainwashed her! For now, she only wanted to know her name. Something to give her identity. She couldn't even remember her parent's names, her friends, or anything! It frustrated her to no end. She kept that frustration down though. She didn't want to her mind to enter the state of 'primal instinct'.
Grey in the meantime, was sitting on the beach of an island not too far from the base. He was waiting for Godzilla to show up for a little discussion. He didn't want anyone to eavesdrop since the translation machine was almost finished. Two minutes later, He saw Godzilla's three rows of spines carving their way towards him. Short seconds later, his head rose up and snorted to expel the sea water from his nostrils.
You wished to speak to me?
Grey nodded.
The scientist who mutated into that abomination may have resurfaced. I will need your help to defeat him. Besides that, I've developed a problem that feeds off my emotions. My rage and frustration has started to trigger something within my mind that causes me to enter a state of raw instinct and fury. It makes me destructive and a danger to all those around me. The last time I entered the state was the first time, and I nearly obliterated that other hybrid along with half the facility. I also slaughtered many of the scientists in the facility. If I enter the state again when not fighting some sort of colossus, I want you to kill me. I can't afford to be that sort of a threat.
Godzilla snorted and blinked.
Very well.
Thank you.
Grey got up, and used his hover trick to fly back to land. Meanwhile, Ford Brody was leading a team into the abandoned lab in search of the source of the tremors.
"Keep your heads up, and your fingers on your triggers. I don't like this one bit."
The rounded the corner, and Brody stopped dead. A massive pulsation mass of tissue sat in the center of the room, with several tendrils linking it to the wall. The mass was semi translucent, but no one dared to go near it.
"Brody to command. You really need to see this."
He pulled out the recording device they had whipped up and flicked it on. Everyone held a collective gasp when they saw the mass.
"Is that some sort of cocoon?"
Brody shook his head.
"I don't know, but I think we need to finish it now."
Stenz nodded.
"Kill it."
All the soldiers opened fire, but the bullets never pierced the fleshy substance. Instead, they bounced off with an audible pinging sound. Brody pulled out some adjustable binoculars, not wanting to get close to the thing, and zoomed in. There was a sort of armor plating over it, looking to be a mix of scale and metal.
"We can't kill it. It has a solid shell that we can't pierce."
Stenz shook his head.
"Get out of there now. We'll try to keep it contained in there."
As the squad left, Brody noticed something. The mass was getting bigger. Slowly, but surely it was growing. Turning around, Brody jogged to catch up with the team.
"We better hurry. I don't want to see what that thing will turn into."
The group got out of the condemned base, and into the evac chopper. Withing seconds, they were off the ground.
Grey was in the tactical center, reviewing information from the scouting trip and reports from the previous recorded Kaiju. There was definite similarities with Monstrosity and other processes that had taken place. If this mass was a cocoon of sorts, then this meant that Monstrosity was going to become something stronger. And the world needed to be ready.
It makes sense that he's in a sort of cocoon. If the MUTOs used it to evolve to their next state, then using a similar process would cause him to change. I only wonder what will come out. I'm not sure I want to know.
Serizawa was in the R&D lab, looking at some of the new anti-kaiju weaponry being developed. While the object was to not kill them, they needed to be ready. The most powerful weapon there was called the "Warp Cannon". It was a weapon that was able to 'twist' space to create devestating results. However, it was still experimental, and highly unstable. The side effects were unknown, and with the side effects thatwere in Grey's brain, he was worried. Very worried.
"Professor, how long until the cannon is ready?"
A man in a lab coat looked up from his work.
"It should be ready for a field test in a month. The vortex drivers are giving us lots of grief."
Serizawa shook his head. He should have expected this. The vortex drivers were still relatively new technology, so they were on the fritz a bit. He just hoped they didn't have to use the cannon. If things went wrong, there could be horrible results. And after all that had happened, they didn't need more problems.
"Do what you can. I have a feeling we may need it soon."
Meanwhile, back at the condemned lab, within the pulsing blob of flesh, the former madman, now an abomination known a Monstrosity groaned. The metamorphosis was more painful than he thought. He could feel his bones twisting, his muscles warping. He could also feel sharp spaces in his flesh, as if metal blades were growing out of his skin. His maniacal eyes, rolling towards the roof of his skull. Soon he would be free. Very very soon...
