In case anyone is confused, the reason the humans can understand what the kaiju are saying is because they can speak in both animal language and human language.
Chapter 10 - The Truth
Godzilla stood in the a random part of the Forest. Jigo had spoken with him earlier to meet here and they would head out to kill the Forest Spirit. "Are you here?" Godzilla said in human language. "Yes" A voice said. Jigo then came out of the bushes. "I came here as you said." Godzilla stated. "Good" Jigo replied. "Now let's kill that Forest Spirit!"
Godzilla and Jigo sat by a campfire that Jigo had set up. The two were to discuss how they would kill the Forest Spirit. "Where are Princess Mononoke and the Wolves?" Jigo asked. "They've gone with the boars." Godzilla answered. "They're going to attack all of the humans of IronTown." Jigo grinned to himself. He knew that Lady Eboshi had set a trap for them. "I suppose you don't know how to kill the Forest Spirit." Godzilla nodded. "Well I do. The Forest Spirit becomes the Night Walker at night. Forest Spirit by day, Night Walker by night. In both forms, the Forest Spirit is Omnipotent, but when it changes form, it's vulnerable." "You said that you need it's head." Jigo nodded. "Yes." "But if what you're saying is true, we'll have to wait until the end of the day when it changes form." Jigo chuckled. "Yes, we will. I'll keep on the lookout for it, by the clearing. When the Forest Spirit is spotted, and when it begins to change form blast it with your Atomic Breath. With that, it's head will be blown off and the Forest Spirit will be reduced to a mindless beast, as good as dead. And you will regain your height." Godzilla was happy to hear that. He would betray the Forest for himself, but he wasn't going to betray it for nothing. He did feel guilty for betraying the Forest, but he wouldn't have it be an excuse to not regain his height. "When do we start?" Godzilla asked.
Elsewhere in the Forest, San and Moro overlooked the Boars and Lord Okkoto charge towards the humans. "It's a trap." Moro said. "But the Boars are too stubborn to have that stop them." San looked to Moro. "We have to help them. We can't just let them die!" They watched as the Boars were shot at by rifles and had fire grenades thrown at them. The Boars charged through the humans, stampeding many of them to death. "There's Lady Eboshi." San pointed out. Before the Boars, Lady Eboshi stood with a smug grin on her face. "What's wrong with her?" San stated. "She's about to be killed by Boars yet she shows no fear. Why?" Moro looked to the sky . She and San then heard a roar that echoed through the area, concerning the Boars. With that, a huge bolts of Gravity Beams came from the sky, striking the first line of Boars and sending them flying. "What is that?!" San gasped. A second later, the golden three-headed dragon, King Ghidorah, flew from the sky down into the Boars. The Boars screeched and charged at him. King Ghidorah let loose Gravity Beams, sending more Boars flying. King Ghidorah continued to blast at the Boars, resulting in explosions of Boars. "That Dragon is slaughtering the Boars!" San yelled. "We have to stop it!" She got onto the back of one of the wolves. "Moro, come with me! We can't let that monster wipe them out!" Moro looked onto the battle. "All of these years, you've called yourself a Protector of the Forest! Well, protect it now!" said San. Moro looked to her. "You're right." With that, San, riding a Wolf, Moro and the other Wolves ran into the battle. King Ghidorah, after blasting a few more gravity beams, spotted the Wolves. "Well, well, well." King Ghidorah chuckled. "It looks like more are coming to be slaughtered!" With that, King Ghidorah flew out of the reach of the Boars and unleashed several destructive Gravity beams onto the Boars and flew above them, blasting more and more gravity Beams, killing them in their dozens. King Ghidorah flew towards San, Moro, and the wolves. "Look out!" San shouted. King Ghidorah blasted a set of Gravity beams at them. The force of the Beam sent San, moro and the Wolves flying. King Ghidorah laughed and turned to blast several more Boars before continuing to fly to the Wolves. San slowly got up and looked in fear as King Ghidorah stood before them. Moro and the other Wolves weakly got to their feet, saw King Ghidorah and growled. "So you are the Wolf Tribe." King Ghidorah chuckled. "How pathetic. I can't believe that damn Eboshi couldn't kill you. I'm King Ghidorah, and trust me, I will succeed where Lady Eboshi failed. Everything you care for will die and become a part of my world!"
Meanwhile, Godzilla and Jigo came to the Clearing. "The Forest Spirit isn't here." Godzilla said. "That's good." Jigo stated. "If the Forest Spirit sees us as we come here, it will be drawn off." Jigo and Godzilla hid from behind a bush. They had a solid view of the sky, the Clearing and the island. "Now comes the boring part." Jigo said. "Let's keep quiet and wait until the Forest Spirit comes into view." Godzilla nodded. "Let's hope the Forest Spirit comes at all."
In the battle, San, Moro and the Wolves were facing King Ghidorah whilst the Boars were focusing on the humans and Lady Eboshi. San held a Spear, ready to attack. Moro and the Wolves growled at King Ghidorah. "We don't fear you, King Ghidorah!" San yelled. King Ghidorah chuckled. "Well, you should be!" With that, King Ghidorah blasted at San with a Gravity beam, the force of the Gravity Beam sent her flying back. The two Wolf pup leaped at King Ghidorah. King Ghidorah blasted them both back with two Gravity Beams, not as powerful as the ones that he used on the Boars, but ones that were strong enough to send them both flying. Moro charged at King Ghidorah. King Ghidorah, however, was too fast, and wrapped one of his necks around Moro's neck, bit onto her paw and, with all of his strength, threw Moro into the air and blasted her. Moro crashed into the ground several yards away, not dead, but certainly hurt. San, after getting up, threw her spear into King Ghidorah's chest. King Ghidorah turned to her and roared. He tore out the spear, tossed it to the side and flew towards San. San got out a dagger, but it was too late. King Ghidorah grabbed her by the neck with one of his heads, not biting her, and threw her several yards. San landed onto the ground, very hurt. king Ghidorah prepared to kill her, by blasting several Gravity Beams, but as he did, the Wolf Pups pounced on him. King Ghidorah, filled with anger, grabbed the two Wolves by the neck and held them up. Moro got up and saw King Ghidorah with the two Wolves. She gasped. "RELEASE MY CHILDREN, MONSTER!" She roared. King Ghidorah laughed."Of course! Right after this!" And with that King Ghidorah snapped their necks and dropped them dead. Moro gapsed. "No." She cried. "There you go!" King Ghidorah laughed, evilly. "I did in 4 minutes what Lady Eboshi coudn't in ages!" San woke up and saw the dead bodies of the Wolves that she had fought with, played with, was raised with, and put her head in her hands. Moro looked onto her dead children and roared with hatred. "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!" She charged at King Ghidorah. King Ghidorah blasted her back with a Gravity Beam. "Oh please, beast! They were going to die anyway! And I haven't killed all of your children, yet!" Moro looked at King Ghidorah with fury. King Ghidorah grinned and then heard a screech. He then turned to see Lord Okkoto. San ran to Moro's side and both of them saw Lord Okkoto stand up to King Ghidorah. "You have killed my bretheren, Ghidorah! You will die for your evil doings!" King Ghidorah chuckled. "I couldn't care less about you, Okkoto." He then turned to Moro and San. "And I couldn't care less about you either. I'm here for Godzilla!" San gasped. "Godzilla? You know him?" King Ghidorah chuckled. "Oh yes! We are old enemies. We are giant monsters, each over 100 meters tall!" "What are you talking about?" San asked. "Godzilla lied to you all! He's not here to fight for the Forest! He's here to regain his former height. He lost it to the Forest Spirit, just like me!" San, Moro and Lord Okkoto thought to themselves. "And now, my friend Jigo has tricked Godzilla into believing that killing the Forest Sprit will give him back his height." San and Moro were shocked. "Oh no!" San gasped. "We've got to tell him it won't, before he destroys the Forest Spirit!" King Ghidorah blasted a Gravity Beam, stopping her from going to the Forest. "Your not going anywhere! Once Godzilla kills the Forest Spirit and I wipe out the humans, this realm will be mine!" Lord Okkoto roared. "NO! I'll hold off King Ghidrah!" "It's Ghidorah, not Ghidrah." King Ghidorah said. "Wait. 'King Ghidrah'. That's kind of an interesting name. Or how about 'Keizer Ghidorah'! No, that's just stupid." Lord Okkoto charged into King Ghidorah , knocking him to the ground. "Alright then!" King Ghidorah said. "I'll have to kill you too, even though I was already going to kill you!" King Ghidorah blasted Lord Okkoto with several gravity beams and then flew into him, biting his face, neck and side. Lord Okkoto roared out as King Ghidorah used all of his strength to pull him to the ground , fly into the air and pound on him. "Go confront Godzilla, San!" Moro yelled. "I'll help Lord Okkoto." King Ghidorah continued to pound on Lord Okkoto. Moro leaped onto King Ghidorah, knocking him off Okkoto, only for him to grab her neck with one of his jaws and throw her. Lord Okkoto and Moro both got up and roared. "Let's see if you really are Gods!" King Ghidorah roared. San ran into the Forest, looking for Godzilla
Jigo and Godzilla continued to wait for the Forest Spirit. "It's nearly night." Godzilla said to Jigo. Jigo nodded. "Yes, soon the Forest Spirit will be here- wait, look!" Jigo pointed to San, who had just come to the clearing. "San" Godzilla said. "Godzilla!" She called. "Where are you?" Jigo looked to Godzilla. "Don't listen to her. She'll interfere." Godzilla shook his head. "No! I'm going to hear what she has to say." Godzilla got out from behind the bushes and walked to her. "There you are!" San sighed. "What are you doing here?" Godzilla asked. San looked at Godzilla with horror in her eyes. "Please tell me it's not true." Godzilla titled his head. "What? What are you talking about?" San looked at him. "Were you really a giant who lost his height to the Forest Spirit? Are you really going to kill the Forest Spirit?" Godzilla gasped. How did she know? What was he going to do? What would he tell her? "Why would you think that?" Godzilla asked. "I was told so." San said. Godzilla thought Ashitaka was the only one who knew about what happened to him outside of him and Jigo, but Ashitaka wouldn't tell her. "Who told you?" Godzilla asked. "You wouldn't happen to know someone named King Ghidorah whould you?" San said. Godzilla was shocked. Oh no, he thought, not King Ghidorah. He can't be here! Godzilla looked to San. "King Ghidorah is a monster!" San frowned. "I don't care about who King Ghidorah is, what he is or what he's here for! Just tell me! Is it the truth?" Godzilla sighed. He couldn't keep it a secret any more. He shouted "Yes! All of it is true! I didn't want to tell you! But I did lose my height to the Forest Spirit, and now i have to kill it!" San brought out her dagger. She knew Godzilla wouldn't believe her if she said he wouldn't regain his height. "Then I have to stop you!" Godzilla roared and swiped San with his tail. He then turned to Jigo. "IS THE FOREST SPIRIT HERE?" Godzilla shouted. Jigo nodded and pointed to the Forest Spirit on the Island looking into the sky. Godzilla prepared his Atomic breath. his Dorsal Spines began to glow. San leaped onto Godzilla and stabbed her Dagger into his sholder. Godzilla cried out, grabbed San and threw her into the water. He then ran towards the Water to get a good shot. San got out of the water and threw her dagger into Godzilla's leg. Godzilla roared in pain, took out the Dagger, threw it to the side and charged into San. The Forest Spirit turned to the fight and walked across the water towards it. Godzilla slashed San's chest and kicked her to the ground. "He's coming towards you!" Jigo shouted, coming out of the bushes. Godzilla grabbed San by the throat and held her underwater, trying to drown her. San grabbed a rock underwater and slammed it into Godzilla's face twice. Godzilla roared and threw her into a tree. San got up with a bloody nose as Godzilla ran at her. San picked up her Dagger and slashed Godzilla's chest only for Godzilla to slash San's face with his claws. San screamed in pain and Godzilla kicked her into the tree he threw her into earlier. The Forest Spirit looked up to the sky, it was night. "He's going to change!" Jigo yelled. Godzilla was about to blast him atomic breath. San ran to him with her dagger, but Godzilla blasted a Nucleur Pulse paralysing San and keeping her down. The Forest Spirit began to change into the Night Walker. "Ready!" Jigo said. Godzilla nodded. the Forest Spirit became taller and taller. It's body became transparant. It had nearly become the Night Walker, and then Godzilla blasted his Atomic Breath at the Forest Spirit's Neck. It hit and the Forest Spirits head blew off. "Yes!" Jigo yelled. He ran and grabbed the head. "Now get back!" Suddenly, there was a huge explosion of Spiritual matter from the Forest Spirits body. Godzilla leaped back as the spiritual matter flew around the Clearing, combining and breaking apart before flying out of the clearing into the Night Sky. "That will recombine to form a dead headless Night Walker." Jigo said. Godzilla looked up into the sky where the Spirit had gone. he then looked at San, who was watching with horror what just happened. She collapsed in upset. Godzilla felt horrible for what he had done. And then he realised. He looked at himself. "Nothing happened." Godzilla said. He looked to Jigo holding the Forest Spirit's head. "I didn't regain my height." Jigo chuckled. "Oh, I see it didn't. i didn't know that would happen. Oh, wait, yeah I did!" Godzilla froze. He looked around him. The trees were rotting and collapsing. The Forest was dying, because of him. And he didn't regain his height, because Jigo..."YOU TRICKED ME!" Godzilla roared. Jigo chuckled again. "I guess I did." Godzilla grabbed Jigo by the neck and lifted him up into the air. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU TRICKSTER!" "Oh sure you will." said Jigo. "If you get past him." Godzilla turned to see King Ghidorah come out of nowhere and kick him to the ground. Jigo landed on his feet. "Turns out my new friend is an old enemy of yours!" With that, Jigo ran into the distance with his prize. Godzilla looked at King Ghidorah with shock. "Ghidorah!" He yelled. King Ghidorah laughed, evilly. The Forest collapsing around them. King Ghidorah looked at Godzilla. "This realm is dying, because of you! And soon the humans of IronTown shall die, with you! Victory is mine!" Godzilla watched as King Ghidorah prepared his Gravity Beams, ready to kill him. What had he done? How could he be such a fool? King Ghidorah grabbed Godzilla's neck with one of his jaws and lifted him up. "Feel sad? You should be!" King Ghidorah cackled. "Now I'm going to kill you! Painfully!"
