The longest and final chapter. I hope you find the conclusion satisfying, has some twists at the end. Stay tuned for the next story in my Godzilla Wars trilogy, title tba.

CH.10

As the smoke rose from the spot where Ellis Island once stood, Kin Ghidorah continued his triumphant cries. Then, lowering his heads, he set his sights on the blockade. With a quick flap of his wings, he rose into the air and flew out over the sea. Dylan could hear the terrified cries of the crew members behind him.

"He's coming right for us!"

But then Dylan noticed something he hadn't seen this his last day in the Navy. There was a shadow under the water, moving towards Ghidorah and growing as it went. Godzilla burst from the waters and tackled the dragon, both of them crashing into the ocean and sending tidal waves in every direction. The monsters wrestled as they sunk towards the bottom, each trying to take control. Spinning around, Godzilla tail-whipped Ghidorah and sent him to the sandy floor below. The dragon got back on his feet and looked up, seeing the lizard racing down upon him. Ghidorah dodged Godzilla, and as his foe crashed into the sand Ghidorah swam up quickly. Godzilla wasn't prepared to let his enemy get away that quickly however. As he watched Ghidorah rise to the surface, his spikes began to glow.

King Ghidorah emerged from the ocean once more, the water dripping from his golden scaly body. But as he rose into the air, Dylan again saw something he had seen before. The water glowed blue, and another volley of atomic fire came shooting up at Ghidorah. The dragon noticed this and attempted to avoid the energy blast, but it hit his wing. Screeching in pain and with a tattered wing, Ghidorah went crashing back to the shore. Rising back to his feet yet unable to fly with his hurt wing, Ghidorah walked backwards slowly as the form of Godzilla came bursting back out of the water. The two monsters eyed each other now. Both of them were battered and bruised in some form or fashion. There would be no more playing around. Ghidorah was now hurt, unable to fly until his wing healed. His plans had been interrupted. No one had ever done that, save this monster. Ghidorah was through playing nice. He would put an end to this battle here and now.

He waited for his opponent to make the first move. When Godzilla lunged forward attempting to land a kick, Ghidorah avoided the attack and struck back. His three heads lunged out and bit Godzilla, not unlike he had bitten the Empire State Building. Then he began channeling his lightning attack directly into Godzilla's body, trying to cook his opponent from the inside out. Godzilla howled in pain as the energy wreaked havoc on his body on a cellular level. And so this went on for several minutes, until Godzilla was slowly losing consciousness. He tried to activate his atomic blast, but he could not release it because Ghidorah's energies were holding his captive. But these energies remained there, building up inside him, his spikes glowing brighter and brighter until finally the energy building up inside exploded, emitting the atomic fire from every pore on Godzilla's body at once, a gigantic atomic pulse. This singed and burned Ghidorah and forced him to release the dinosaur, but Godzilla wasn't through yet. He grabbed Ghidorah, holding the creature's middle head by the horns in his right hand and grasping the base of the middle neck with his left. He charged his energy up once more released an atomic blast, severing the middle head by the middle of the neck. The rest of Ghidorah fell backwards, the two remaining heads screeching in unimaginable pain as Godzilla held the middle head up in the air and roared victoriously. Now the coup de grace; as Ghidorah rolled around on the ground, still howling with pain, Godzilla dropped the severed head to the ground and then reached down and grabbed the dragon by its twin tails. In one motion, Godzilla spun around and tossed Ghidorah's body out over the ocean once more. Then, he charged up his energy and released one more atomic blast. This one hit its mark perfectly, and the entire sky was illuminated in a golden flash. When the explosion ended, Ghidorah's now smoking body fell limp into the sea and the great golden terror was no more.

Dylan and the others could not believe what they had witnessed. The battle had been awe-inspiring and now the terrible King Ghidorah was gone. Dylan turned round to address Dr. Everett.

"Well sir, now that you've seen your dinosaur in action what do you…"

The doctor was nowhere to be seen. Confused, Dylan turned to Akio.

"Where'd he go?"

"I don't know, he was here just a moment ago."

Then there were gasps of surprise and awe. Dylan and Akio turned to see one of the G-force helicopters speeding toward Godzilla. One of the soldiers came bursting on to the deck, shouting.

"It's Dr. Everett! He took the chopper! I tried to stop him…"

"What's he doing?" asked Dylan, before turning back to Akio "you can fly can't you?"

"Yes. I'm pretty good."

Dylan turned again. "Let's go then." He said.

Seeing Godzilla up close was really something to behold. The Dr. had been harboring strange feelings all day. He felt as though he had wasted his life, pursuing this creature for the wrong reasons. He had changed his intentions. He activated auto-pilot so that the helicopter hovered in front of Godzilla's face. The giant lizard was observing him now, confused and interested. Everett opened the side hatch of the helicopter and addressed Godzilla directly.

"Godzilla! You may not know this, but I was there, on the day of your birth. But I arrived too late. Had I seen you hatch; I would have killed you then and there, while you were still vulnerable. I'd have been a hero. But I missed that chance. I knew that you would grow up to wreak havoc on the globe, and I blamed myself for not being there in time to destroy you."

Godzilla continued to observe this human, whose strange courage intrigued him. The others ran, this one had come to speak to him. It was peculiar, and Godzilla's curiosity was peaked. The human continued to speak.

"So I dedicated my life to finding you. To accomplish that which I failed to do that day, and kill you. I've spent my whole life in that pursuit, but again I failed. Now you are full-grown, and the time I spent trying to prevent your return was wasted. But now, today…having seen you in the flesh, and watching you battle that monstrous dragon, I think you're magnificent. And so, even though I've spent my entire life trying to destroy you, now…I don't think I want you. You hear that? I've devoted my life to killing you and now I don't want to." his eyes were tearing up a bit now "But they'll make me. My knowledge is very valuable to them. They will force me to try and find a way to destroy you. So…I want you…to kill me first."

"What does he think he's doing?" asked Dylan, as he and Akio approached in their own Helicopter.

Godzilla was still just eyeballing him, which angered the Dr. "Don't you hear me? I want you to do what you're best at. I want you to kill me!"

But Godzilla did not comprehend the implications of the scientist's words; he continued to curiously examine him. This was the final straw. Dr. Everett, now frustrated, pulled a small pistol from under his coat.

"Stupid lizard!" he yelled, before opening fire on Godzilla. The tiny bullets had no effect of course, but they did do what the Dr. had wanted. Godzilla, shocked by the sudden attack, went into defensive mode and swatted the little helicopter out of the sky.

"Nooo!" Dylan shouted as the helicopter exploded on the ground. Dr. Everett was now dead. Godzilla turned and headed toward the bay. Angry, Dylan leaned out his window and opened fire on the beast, but his bullets of course had no effect and weren't even felt. Godzilla sunk into the Atlantic and was gone.

Akio was exhausted. There had been many changes now. A new Scientist had been appointed to head the Department of Kaiju studies. As per Dr. Everett's will, he and Dylan were now to head up the Godzilla war effort. Today had been the funeral, and now Akio had returned to his London hotel. As he turned the key and entered his room, he was startled. On his bed stood two women, only a few inches tall each. But it wasn't their appearance that had startled him, but their presence. For Akio had met these strange beings before.

"You two" he said, "What do you want? I played my part. I told them that Mosura was gone."

"And it was the right thing to do." They said, in unison.

"I'm not so sure. Maybe if Mosura had been there to assist in the battle, Dr. Everett would still be around."

"His death was of his own design. Anyway, it was no yet Mosura's time to return. It was Godzilla's destiny to fight King Ghidorah this time. But there are more battles to come."

"What do you mean?" he asked, turning to face them. But they were gone now, and the only remnant of them left in the room was their cryptic message, playing in Akio's mind.
