Chapter 10: I live in death

Off the coast of Japan

October 2nd, 2018, 4:45

What transpired at Tokyo was something Godzilla had never seen coming. Everything was out of his comprehension, the metallic ones were standing still, showing no signs of aggression towards him only to vanish into the thin air after a blinding light was shone upon them. There was little he can do to make sense of the situation, he can only retire to the sea and rest. For nearly a week, he has swam around the den and Japan, waiting for his primal senses to pick up their presence once again. But still nothing happen. Until now, a thunderous sound comes from the sky, it attracts Godzilla to surface from the bottom of the ocean to sea. His head rises up above the water surface and he looks upon the sky, the night sky is lighted up with flaming debris falling from a huge mass. Godzilla watches in awe as the alien space ship falls apart as it comes closer to the ground, he can feel something familiar within, his primal instinct tells him to follow the alien craft and find out. Obediently, he follows through the inaudible command and make his way inland to crash site, by passing the patrolling humans. He can feel it, the presence of the metallic ones, his enemies and ironically, part-time allies are also nearby, possibly in the alien craft, which he is coming to.

As the space craft crashes down, the ship's hull is teared apart and the brood masses are smashed and splattered all over the forested hills of Japan. Soon enough, Kiryu is tumbled out of the ship's hallways and fall on his back. He toss and turns as he regain his balance, he stands up and have a look around, his HUD fizzle for a moment before he can see the world around him with clear HD format. His GPS puts him on a hilly area outside of Tokyo, 3 miles to the Northeast. Kiryu pans around trying to find his companion, MechaGirain hopefully, the landing did not damage her beyond repair. As he paces forward trying to locate her, he catch a glimpse of something he wouldn't want to see, what appears to the hand of Etheus, sticking out of a large pile of debris, what's left of the elderly ape is undoubtedly buried underneath, Kiryu tries to dig out the remains by clearing the debris from top to bottom, but as he is halfway through his work, a trio lighting bolts hit his back and he stumbles down to the ground.

"I. HAVE. HAD. ENOUGH. With your meddling! Time to end this, little puppet." Ghidorah grumbles as his mouths light up with thunder, the cracking sound draws ever nearer as he prepare to let lose a torrent of thunder at Kiryu. At that moment, a navy blue blast it Ghidorah's back, causes the dragon to stumble forward before falling on his stomach, Godzilla rises from the horizon, bellowing a defiant roar at Ghidorah making his intention to destroy the dragon as clear as day. "So there are two of you to play? Very well, it will be two to obediently serve me." Ghidorah stands tall and bellow his shriek back at Godzilla, his wings fans out and flap ferociously, creating a gust of wind blowing large stones and wreckage at Godzilla's face. The saurian stand firm despite the intense bombardment, Kiryu swipes his tail at Ghidorah's feet, knocking down the dragon. Ghidorah immediately wraps his tails around Kiryu in a constricting manner, lifting the MechaGodzilla up face-to-face with Ghidorah's main head. "This is how it ends for you. But don't worry, it's just a sleep for now, I'll fix you for your new service after the battle." Ghidorah's mouth once again light up with lighting blast, but this time, instead of the signature platinum tone, it has a dark blue color sheen to it, perhaps it meant to disable Kiryu just long enough for Ghidorah to face off with Godzilla.

But as Ghidorah prepare to fire his oral attack, a cold blast of AZC struck Ghidorah's back, forcing the dragon to let go of his captive and reposition himself on a hill. He focus his gaze on the shooter and found that it was MechaGirain, standing ready to face off with him. "You just don't know when to quit now do you?" MechaGirain, though battle damaged from her encounter with Gigan, still has a lot of fight left in her, she focus her gaze of deathly cold metal on Ghidorah as Godzilla stands beside her ready to fight. "Looks like saving you is becoming my job description. Get some rest Kiryu, I'll handle this one." She sarcastically address Kiryu to sit back and enjoy the show as she fire up her boosters to engage Ghidorah in a quasi-aerial battle. At first, Ghidorah seems unstoppable as her missiles are continuously shot out of the sky everytime they make a beam line to the golden dragon's. Ghidorah's superior flying skill allows him to maneuvers behind MechaGirain and land kick into her expose muscles, forcing her down on the ground once more. He landed on top of her with his feet plant firmly on her chest. "You would have been better off serving me and see a batch of your blood line ascend to god hood." Said Ghidorah with smug expression on his face. Only for him to be pummel by Godzilla as the saurian ram the dragon into the mountain side, pinning him firmly in place.

"Mind your surrounding before making speeches next time." MechaGirain retorts at Ghidorah, adding more insults to injuries, Ghidorah, quickly wraps his legs around Godzilla's waists area whilst his arms around Godzilla's neck, surprise by the sudden positioning of his opponent limbs, Godzilla took a quick look at the situational development only to be push down on the ground by Ghidorah. "Foolish creature, you would be much more suitable as a pawn for me. Just like how you help me lure out those two." Godzilla's eyes widen at the realization, it was Ghidorah's telepathic power that pushed Godzilla to go on a rampage and lure out the metallic ones for abduction. "Now feel my wrath." Ghidorah continuously stomp Godzilla, showing now signs of relent, only to be stop firmly in place a metallic fist on his chest.

MechaGirian helps Godzilla stands up to finish off Ghidorah, as the dragon stumbles forward, seemingly tired, blood begins to drip down his mouth and nose, bruises becomes much more visceral, as the dragon's dark scale shows sign of deterioration as cracks and sickly scale falls from his body. MechaGirain notices that the brood masses inside the ship were showing signs of withering, similar to that of a plant, they crack and collapse as well as showing signs of DNA degradation as their physiological structure took on a pale color tone and black spots dotted all over their body.

"So he's dying inside. Kiryu did a good job with infecting him. Now to wrap this up in one go." MechaGirain quickly devises an attack plan to tackle Ghidorah into a favorable position to finish him off, but there are two problems, whatever she thinks up, Ghidorah might have anticipated it already, second is that Godzilla might not be able to comprehend complex tactics. But to attack without a plan is suicidal and she would be open to whatever trick Ghidorah has up his sleeve. "I have to do something, or else this will never be over with. Both Kiryu and I are battered and need assistance." While she thinks of her options, Godzilla suddenly charged up his Atomic blast and fire his oral attack on Ghidorah, "Child's play."

Ghidorah smirks and flies up, dodging Godzilla's attack. But to his surprise, his wings are penetrated by two rail gun slugs, he lost control of his flight path almost instantly, then crash down on the ground. Bumping his heads hard on the rock, he lies on the ground, panting, breathing his dying breath, his chest heaves with a steadily quicken pace as MechaGirain comes towards him with her chest Plasma Canon charged up for a finishing shot. "Any last words?" She let out a low growls, in return, Ghidorah cackles in a sadistic satisfaction, "I live in death!". He laughs loudly, bellowing his chuckle as if he had won, "We'll see about that." She fires her Plasma Canon and obliterated Ghidorah's entire body into smithereens, leaving only the skeletal remains. She returns to Kiryu with Godzilla and wait for the humans to come and pick them up. As the evening draws, the White Herons can be seen coming into her night vision view, she signals Godzilla to leave and return to his den. He nodded and return to the sea without a second thought. Occasionally, he turns around to see the White Herons picking up Kiryu and MechaGirain back to their base for repair.
