okay so there will be one more chapter after this, and then that'll be all. Hope everyone's enjoyed the trilogy.
CH.10
Godzilla stared at his metal counterpart, remembering the battle just days before. Filled with anger, the great lizard king tilted his head back and issued another bellowing roar before charging at his enemy full-speed. Countering this was Z, who activated Mechagodzilla's jet boosters and, zipping across the city like a jet, met his enemy head-on. Thus the hand-to-hand combat began. The scene was a flurry of kicks and punches, tail-whips and head-butts. So furious was this scramble for power that to the naked eye one could only see a mass of grey-green flesh grappling with a series of metal slashes. Finally, Z managed to land a kick to the face of Godzilla, sending him reeling down into the cityscape below. Scratched up but barely damaged, Mechagodzilla still stood tall.
"Alright," Z said, "Let's kick it up a notch!"
Just as Godzilla re-gained his footing, he was hit with a barrage, all Mechagodzilla's weaponry being fired down upon him. There missiles galore, artillery shells, and billions of armor-piercing rounds. This uncompromising onslaught Threw Godzilla back, laid waste to the already damaged city, and created a huge cloud of dust and debris, the likes of which was never before witnessed by human eyes.
"Godzilla's not doing so good out there." observed Akio, as everyone looked at the screen with nervous anticipation.
Z continued pulling his triggers, only to hear clicking sounds. "Sir, I believe you're out of ammo." Mifune stated.
"You're right. Time to switch to energy-based weaponry."
And with that the alien flipped a switch, and Mechagodzilla opened its mouth, golden energy swirling around its jaws as it powered up its Maser blast. But before he could fire the weapon, the huge dust cloud was instantly cleared as the blue atomic fire of Godzilla shot forth and knocked Mechagodzilla backwards. As his enemy flew back, Godzilla attempted to capitalize on this by jumping to tackle Mechagodzilla to the ground. But Z would not have it. Mechagodzilla whipped its tail, knocking Godzilla across the face. Godzilla hit the ground again, and Mechagodzilla hit the ground as well. Rising, the two monsters stared each other down once more.
"Alright you damned Lizard. You want a fight, you got it."
Z began to power up the maser blast again, and this time Godzilla powered up his own blast as well. The two monsters fired at the same time, and their blast connected with each other, each ray trying to out-do the other. The struggle sent shockwaves through the air, crumbling buildings and rocking the G-force ship like a wave-tossed boat.
"This is bad." said Smithson.
"Why?" Ishiro asked, his voice shaking from the same panic that racked them all.
"We had the idea of an energy clash in mind when we designed Mechagodzilla. Godzilla can only hold his blast for a few minutes at most, even with his gigantic lungs. But Mechagodzilla can continue going up until his power cells are drained. And that would take hours!"
And indeed, this critical weakness took course just as Smithson had implied. After a few minutes of the intense clash, Godzilla simply could not hold it any longer. His blast began to falter, But Mechagodzilla's powerful masers kept powering on, and Godzilla was hit with the full force, both of his opponent's maser as well as the atomic energy he himself had emitted. All this energy coupled together hit Godzilla with such a force that the gigantic dinosaur was propelled backwards, clearing the city completely and landing with a splash in Tokyo bay, quickly sinking to the bottom.
"Ha!" Z exclaimed, a sound of sheer giddiness in his voice. He fired up the rocket boosters, and Mechagodzilla flew into the air, coming back down on the edge of the shore. "Wait for it…" the alien said, again charging Mechagodzilla's powerful maser cannons up to maximum, holding it there until the right moment. Then, Godzilla again surfaced from the water, beaten and bruised but far from defeated. "Now!"
But before Z could fire the maser blast again, the earth again began to shudder and shake in a massive earthquake. "What the hell's going on now?" general Ishiro exclaimed as the whole city rattled for the third time that day.
Honda was exhausted. With all his vehicles destroyed, he had had to walk miles back to the small Russian village which had been a ghost town ever since the first appearance of Biollante. Making his way to the back of the bar, he put the phone to his ear. Still in service. He then began frantically dialing, not sure how much time he had left. Back in Tokyo, Dr. Smithson felt a second vibration, not that of the earth, but of his phone in his pocket. He pulled it out, didn't recognize the number, and was about to ignore before he realized that this was a long distance call- from Russia.
"Hello?"
"Smithson! This is Honda. Listen…"
"Look Dr. Honda, as much as I would love an update on your experiments there, I can't talk now. We've got a situation here, an earthquake…"
"Listen Smithson! It's Biollante!"
"What?"
"Biollante! It's alive! Slaughtered all my men, sprayed some of them with some type of radioactive spores…"
That's when Smithson saw it. Miles out at sea, the water broke as gigantic green vines shot up into the air. "It can't be!" shouted a bewildered Dylan.
Smithson brought the phone back up to his mouth. "I see that Honda, it's here…talk to you later…"
"What? Smithson get yourself out of-"
Dr. Smithson hung the phone up before his colleague could finish. Another form rose from the depths of the sea, in the midst of the hundreds of tentacle-like vines. Gone was the lovely rose which had topped the beast in Russia, replaced instead with a head…with huge, crocodile-like jaws. The earthquake subsided as Biollante, now fully emerged, let out her own battle cry.
"My god," Dylan shuddered, "It's mutated even more than before."
Z too was astounded. "Is that?"
"YES!" Mifune shouted, full of ecstatic pleasure. "My creation, my beautiful Biollante, has survived…and she's even more lovely than before! There is no more hope now, Godzilla will surely die! And you know what that means?"
BANG! Blood splattered the console as Z's head exploded. "It means that I no longer need you, sir." Mifune, the tip of his gun still smoking, proceeded to pull the dead Nebulan's limp body from the pilot seat.
Godzilla was intrigued by this new creature, more so than his metal counterpart. He had never seen this being before, yet he could sense something strange, as if this were a member of his own race. He began walking toward the strange sight, only to be punished for his curiosity. One of the creature's vines shot forth, wrapping itself around Godzilla's neck. Angered, Godzilla let out a roar and then issued his atomic blast, severing the vine which he then threw down into the waters below. There was no question now that this was no friend, it was a foe. Godzilla roared again, and then the struggle began. Dozens of mutated vines shot out then, grabbing him by the neck, legs, arms, middle…he fought back of course, ripping vines and shooting them with his atomic breath, but it was an uphill battle. Mifune finally succeeded in removing the heavy alien corpse and placing himself in the pilot's seat, strapping himself in. Wiping the blood from his view screens, he saw the struggle happening. Godzilla was fighting bravely against Biollante, but not for long. Not wanting to use his maser blast for fear of hurting Biollante, Mifune fired up his rocket boosters and zipped across the bay, delivering a flying kick to the back of Godzilla's head. This stunned the great beast, long enough for Biollante to gain the upper hand and begin pulling Godzilla towards him.
"Hahahahaha! At last I fulfill my destiny! Godzilla, today you die!"
But Mifune's celebration was short lived, for the cockpit began to shake as Mechagodzilla experienced a great turbulence. Stunned, Mifune realized that more of Biollante's vines had shot forward, this time grabbing Mechagodzilla!
"No! No!" Mifune shouted. He fired up the rocket boosters once again, flying up towards the stratosphere. But it was no use; Biollante's grip was great, and soon Mechagodzilla's boosters had given out, and he too was being pulled towards the great plant. Godzilla had recomposed himself then, and faced with the giant crocodile jaws before him, began to charge up his atomic blast. Before he could fire it however, Biollante opened her great jaws and engulfed Godzilla's top half, as if she meant to swallow him. Blue energy flowed through Biollante's body, as she began to drain her opponent.
"Amazing!" said Smithson, "It's absorbing Godzilla's power, growing stronger."
Indeed, as the life-force of Godzilla entered into the great plant, Biollante began growing even larger than before, creating waves as her great body bulged and expanded. Mechagodzilla too was struggling with the great plant.
"You can't do this!" Mifune yelled, "I created you, I am your father!" intent on teaching his creation a lesson, he charged up his maser blast, only to learn that he couldn't use it. Looking at his technical readouts, Mifune was amazed. The snake-like tentacles of Biollante had entered Mechagodzilla's body and were working their way through the infrastructure. What's more, Biollante had accessed Mechagodzilla's power core, and was now draining energy from him as well! Mifune was terrified. What had he done? In his quest to kill Godzilla, had he created something even worse? Determined not to die, the scientist's mind began racing, trying to come up with a course of action. And that's when he noticed it. In the front of Biollante's body there was a bulge, like some sort of sack. It glowed orange and yellow, like it was the center of Biollante's energy store. Even more important, it looked fairly vulnerable, in contrast with the rest of Biollante's tick hide. Having picked his target, Mifune began taking stock of his available weapons…all his artillery had been spent, he was unable to use energy, and that's when the light bulb went off. He still had one option. And so with the flip of switch, he deployed Mechagodzilla's blade arm.
"Take this, ungrateful plant!"
With a slash, Mifune cut open the sack on Biollante's belly. Biollante howled in pain, spitting Godzilla out as she tilted her head back and roared. Yellow energy was pouring from her wound, lighting up the sky.
"What's that?" Akio enquired.
Smithson answered "Honda said that Biollante sprayed some of his men with radioactive spores…"
Godzilla, drained from the experience, saw the wound in Biollante's chest, and the strange energy emanating from it. He didn't have much left, but Godzilla pulled what remaining energy he could muster into one final atomic blast, firing it into the hole in his captor's chest. The radioactive spores instantly reacted to the atomic fire, starting a chain reaction that ran through Biollante's entire body. Realizing that his creation was about to blow, Mifune excepted his fate. Biollante's entire body glowed blue, getting hotter and hotter until she was no longer visible, building up until…BOOM.
There was a loud noise. Not the crashing sound one usually associates with an explosion, more like the overwhelming pop of a sonic boom. The flash of light was unprecedented, followed by a shock wave that stretched out for miles, reaching so far that it engulfed all of Tokyo bay, and what was left of the city was instantly obliterated. Then the flash ended, and all was quite among the ruins.
