I do not own Godzilla.

Marina- on ch.9 I'm glad to see that I can still surprise my reviewers.

Dolphinology- on ch.9 Thank you.

My question before any of you read this: Have you ever wondered how two little birds will sometimes take down eagles?


Godzilla and Siseir were indeed fast runners, as the team learned quite intimately over the next four hours. Elsie, who was already aware of Siseir's great flying speed, was unimpressed and actually managed to take a nap against Siseir's raised crest feathers. Monique took some time to write her report to Philippe for this week, well aware that she should have done this sooner. Those on Godzilla's head weren't so fortunate.

Nick was relaxed and spent the time talking to Godzilla on the fish pen idea, and what other plans the big lizard had. Randy was clinging to the scales beneath him and making shaky wisecracks about how Godzilla and Siseir could make a fortune carrying wealthy businessmen if the mutation business ever ran slow. Mendel was just clinging and whimpering.

They reached a point safely away from where the expected battle was going to take place and the humans were left to watch and possibly help.


This time Godzilla decided he would investigate first, instead of waiting until his parent had found the intruder. Siseir followed him.

In front of them was a hole the size of a small crater, and it apparently lead deep into the ground. Godzilla motioned Siseir to say outside while he explored inside this hole. He was surprised; he could walk upright here and didn't have to crawl on all fours. His nostrils flared ad picked up a scent: mammal, a type of rodent.

Be careful, is a tunnel. Seems very big to me. Siseir warned him from outside.

Godzilla rumbled to himself and decided to turn around and head back out. He nudged noses with Siseir, but she didn't respond.

Siseir?

Turn around. Her voice almost squeaked, her head tilting back so her wide eyes could look up.

Godzilla felt a shiver of anticipation run down his spine as he turned to look, and was met with a wall of tan fur. He looked up when a shadow fell over him and his mate.

Parent? Nick? Help. Hovering over them was a head that could have swallowed Godzilla whole and still had plenty of room for Siseir.

Is this how small ones feel when they look upon us? Siseir thought, a new feeling encompassing her. It wasn't fear; it felt more electric than that. She decided to ask parent later, provided that thing didn't eat her alive.


Some distance away Nick and the others stood there in shock as the prairie dog from hell came out of its' hole and was currently sniffing at Godzilla and Siseir.

"Wow, that thing is gargantuan." Elsie murmured.

Monique gaped for a minute before flipping open Nick's bag and yanking out a satellite phone. She activated it and dialed a number.

Ringing. "…Roache."

"P-Philippe, we h-have a problem." Monique actually stuttered into the phone.

"Monique? What is wrong?"

Monique collected herself and began rattling off the big problem.


Meanwhile, apparently the mammal had decided it was hungry and Godzilla and Siseir were fair prey. Teeth meant for catching bugs came down after them. Godzilla nipped Siseir into motion before bolting himself. Siseir got air born without any difficulty, and flapped like never before to get up high enough to be safe.

Below, Godzilla was running and planning while he ran. The prairie dog was big, but pitifully slow for it's size. With Siseir's help maybe he could bring it down. He doubled back on his own tail and shot up the thing's leg, claws easily finding purchase in the fur. Once on the back he began burning away fur to expose the skin above the spine just behind the head.

Good! Siseir called from above and swooped down to get the thing's attention on her and off of Godzilla.

Godzilla succeeded in exposing the skin and began hacking away at it with his claws and fangs. The giant prairie dog yelped and forgot about Siseir completely, turning its head to knock off the pest with a hind paw. A very unwise move, as Siseir took the opportunity to slash at the exposed eyes. Her attack didn't stop her from noticing that Godzilla had disappeared into the maw of the creature as he fell.

(I could stop here, but my loyal fans would have my hide to decorate their walls if I did.)

The sight drove Siseir into frenzy. She roared a challenge at the creature and dove onto where Godzilla had exposed the bone. Her claws, so sharp and ill designed for digging, began slicing away chunks of cartilage to expose the nerve that was the key to this entire plan.

The creature yowled and dropped Godzilla onto the ground from its' mouth, smoke and the odor of charred skin rising as well. Godzilla panted to regain the breath that had been struck from him. He heard his parent calling to come. Godzilla rolled back to his feet and roared, bolting out of the way as the giant thing stomped the ground and rolled to get Siseir off.

Siseir was crushed against fur and bone when the thing rolled, but her claws were so deeply dug in that she couldn't be brushed off so easily. The thing rolled twice, and never got back up.


Godzilla watched the prairie dog twitch several times before laying still. He was already beginning to cautiously move toward the back of the head, lest the intruder suddenly move and catch him again. A familiar whimper caught his attention and he saw Siseir stumble away from the beast. She wavered on her feet and sat down to catch her breath and clear her head. She had cuts and bruises all over from the sharp rocks she had been ground into twice, and her wings were missing quite a few feathers, but other than that she looked okay.

Siseir looked up from regaining her lost breath to see Godzilla approaching her. She gave a rumble of joy.

It ate you.

I flamed it when it tried. The intruder is gone so we should leave.

Let us go and find some water.

The last bit of water we saw was an hour away, can you last that far?

I can. Siseir got up and walked to Godzilla, and together they walked back to the stunned humans.

"Wow." Elsie muttered.

"Whoa! That was amazing!" Randy was cheering.

Monique's eyebrows were almost touching her hairline, "Uh, sir? Cancel the jets; Godzilla and Siseir just took care of it on their own. Now we need a cleanup crew."

Craven was twittering about impossibly strong mutations while Nick walked up to both and pats their lowered snouts. "You did excellently."

Up, going home. Godzilla's tone brooked no argument, especially considering who was speaking. HEAT was loaded up and ready to go in seconds flat.


The run back to the last river was taking longer than before, Nick noticed. He nudged Mendel and asked him to measure their speed now compared to their speed arriving.

"We were moving close to 200mph before, now readings say we're closer to 130mph." Mendel tapped at his keyboard some more when Godzilla suddenly stopped and turned around to look behind him, to where Siseir had slowed to a walk.

Come Siseir, we are almost to the water.

Hold on Godzilla. Siseir spread open one wing, and the sickening sound of bone scraping against bone echoed in the still air as the wing bone healed in front of them from a break. Once the bone had healed completely Siseir furled the wing safely against her back again and went back to running.

"Well, that was interesting." Randy was trying to think up an appropriate wisecrack that wouldn't get him thrown from Godzilla's head.

"Lay off Randy. I can tell Godzilla's not in the mood." Nick cautioned.

They made it to the river and between the two giant lizards it was almost drunk dry.


Now, back to the running. Still not as fast as before, they made it back to shore just after sunset.

"Well, that was exciting." Elsie climbed carefully down from Siseir's face and gave her a good scratch.

Seek lair. Siseir repeatedly looked up at the nighttime sky, just to affirm that there was nothing there.

"Yeah Hon, you and Godzilla go get some sleep, we'll head home in the morning." Elsie smiled.

Good sleep. Siseir wandered off and curled up under an overhang of rock.

"Good night to you too, little sister."
