Hello everyone!
I am so very sorry that I am late with this chapter, and even more sorry that it is so short. I currently have very little free time between school and work, and that little time I get I am using to apply to colleges.
I am not giving up on my stories though, I assure you all. My updates just wont be as plentiful sadly.
I rushed out this chapter to make up for my lack of a chapter, and its lack of content and rushed nature let me split up what i initially intended to put in here into two chapters.
I am sorry I have to do this, but I simply dont have as much time as I would like to have. I wont be giving up on the story though until it is completed.
Some more unfortunate news: As a result of my lack of time, I have decided to end this story sooner than I planned. Right now, I plan on having 15 chapters (not including two-parters like this one individually). I promise to make it as best as I can, but I cannot guarantee much of anything at this point.
As for answering reviews, this time I must skip that. I have a project that needs to be completed for tomorrow in my AP Computer Science Principles class, and I am not very close to being finished. I took a break to finish this and I need to get back to that. I will answer the reviews next time, so dont stop posting them!
Once again, I am sorry that It has come down to this, but I will try my hardest to do what I can.
Enjoy the chapter, and I hope to see you all in two weeks with the second part of the chapter.
Chapter 11: A Titan Reborn: Part 1
The appearance of the one Godzilla that escaped her clutches certainly did surprise her. Salem had no idea how it was able to escape her clutches or her powers, and it seemed as if it had one goal in mind when it appeared in Vale: To free its brothers from her spell.
The Guardian may be powerful, but with the newfound energy she gave his brothers, he stood no chance, even with help from others. With the massive powers she gave Shin Gojira, no one stood a chance anymore, not even the four kingdoms combined with the help of the Guardians.
Even if Vale and Atlas are able to stop the advance of Grimm, Vacuo and Mistral couldn't, and then it would just be a matter of time.
It was only a matter of time before humanity fell to its knees, begging for mercy. She couldn't wait.
The Ram Faunus General watched below as his forces, once having the upper hand, were now in a full retreat. No one could have expected two more Grimm to simply appear out of nowhere, and they unfortunately had to pay the price for not planning for such an unthinkable situation. It wasn't fair, but then again, neither was war. MOGUERA lay on the desert sand immobile, a giant hole in its side that was slowly getting larger thanks to Hedorah's corrosive acid. Baragon and Anguirus protected the retreating military as best as they could, focusing on the smaller Grimm instead of the larger ones. Thankfully, Vacuo's military was able to take out almost all of the smaller Grimm, but that didn't really matter now that their most important weapons were disabled.
The Commander of Mistral's military continued to watch her kingdom fall, burning in ash. The natural barriers of the city that once protected it now contributed to its downfall. Nevermores and Griffons filled the skies, anti-aircraft trying desperately to take as many down as possible, but they couldn't stop enough from taking down many of the evacuation shuttles coming out of the city. The larger Grimm had overpowered the Guardians, and the once mighty navy that Mistral boasted, and their weapon that they built was now on the ground, helpless. Grimm flooded the streets, ruthlessly and mercilessly killing anyone unfortunate enough to be unable to leave on an evacuation shuttle. There was little she could do for the place she fought so hard to protect.
"The General has tasked us for saving the people of Vacuo! It is up to us to provide them with much needed reinforcements to counterattack and defeat these beasts all the way back to hell!" The captain of the Atlesian detachment of the air fleet that was sent to assist Vacuo said over the intercom throughout the entire ship. "If everyone plays their part, then we will be victorious!" he declared. "Everyone get ready. We'll be jumping into the fray in 30 seconds. May dust look favorably upon us all."
Everyone on the several battle ships and cruisers that were sent together got to their battle stations, ready to help the people of Vacuo as much as they could. Pilots went to their fighters, gunners to their consoles to man the turrets, transport pilots loading up on soldiers and androids.
The Faunus General watched as the two Godzilla's, Hedorah, and Megalon advanced on the retreating humans and Faunus, attacking any that were unfortunate enough to be left behind.
All he could do was watch his people die, and it felt terrible.
"Sir! We've got incoming Atlas contacts! We've got reinforcements!" One of the radio operators yelled happily.
"That Ironwood, always coming in at the best times, he is." The General muttered to himself.
Over the battlefield, several Battleships and Cruisers phased into the airspace behind the giant Grimm, and immediately began firing their large guns at them from behind, fighters and transports pouring out from them, heading down to deploy troops to turn the tides.
"We've got some help from Atlas, men. Hold your positions as best you can, reinforcements are on their way." The General said over the radio to the ground forces, which quickly turned around and formed a defensive line with all that was left.
The transports flew over the defensive line, dropping androids and paratroopers down to the battle below to reinforce it and push back the Grimm attack.
The two Godzilla's turned around to meet the Atlesian fleet that flew in, lasers and projectiles going into their faces as they did so. They both chose their targets, and charged their atomic rays, before letting them go on the fleet above them.
"Raise the deflector shields!" the captain of the vessels commanded. They were ready for this attack this time.
Their atomic rays went towards the ships, but stopped just below them on an invisible barrier that glowed bright blue on contact, keeping the ships safe from harm.
The fleet was heavily engaging the less-armored Megalon and Hedorah, allowing Baragon and Anguirus to attack the Godzilla's while they were preoccupied.
Anguirus rolled into his ball, and launched himself at Godzilla (1974)'s back, grinding his sharp spikes on his shell into his back, forcing him to fall over forwards.
Baragon charged at Godzilla (2001)'s back, stabbing him in the rear with his horn several times before he too inevitably fell over.
The defensive forces focused their fire on Hedorah, Megalon, and the remaining Grimm coming for the wall.
Team SSSN was in the middle of the action, taking on Grimm with their weapons, conserving what was left of their ammo as best as they could. The fresh Atlestian reinforcements were certainly a welcome sight for them all.
The Grimm were taking on two fronts now, splitting them up and forcing themselves away from each other, which was a bad tactic on their part.
Sun saw this, and knew he had to exploit it, he had to end this now or Vacuo, and all of its people could perish if they didn't get to these giant Grimm quickly enough.
"Let's get out there and welcome our friends with some support!" Sun shouted before he and his team charged into the thinning Grimm lines, the other soldiers following behind them, shouting out their war cry, ready for their revenge. Any vehicles still left surged forward as well, firing viciously and effectively, soldiers hopping on them to get to the slaughter quicker. Any vehicle that could fight went forward anyways, grabbing any wounded they could find and rushing them back to the walls before repeating the process once more.
The killing of Grimm was swift and merciless, much like the way the Grimm themselves showed them not long ago.
The Atlesian Military and the Vacuoan military both worked together to secure MOGUERA to get it out of the battle as soon as possible. They were quickly able to surround it and form a defensive barrier while the pilots of the mechanical behemoth tried to get it back online to return to base.
The Battleships and Cruisers fired relentlessly and endlessly into the giant Grimm, negating their ranged attacks with their shields and supporting the counterattack with their ground troops while Anguirus and Baragon attacked the two Godzillas simultaneously.
Megalon and Hedorah were taking a hard beating between the relentless guns of the airships and the ground forces, even with its colossal size.
They've done enough. The damage was done, the fear instilled, the people killed. They're done here; they have other matters to attend to.
And like they were never there, each and every Grimm simply flashed away and vanished into thin air. The damage said otherwise however. Craters in the sand and the wall, wrecked vehicles, blood and lifeless corpses riddled the once tan desert sand, now turned into a deep crimson red from the ones that fought so bravely to defend their home from the enemy they had been fighting since the dawn of time.
The two armies were taken aback, quickly ceasing fire to avoid harming one another.
The General looked onto the battlefield from his tower, the full extent of the devastation completely clear, and the dumbstruck faces of his soldiers and himself clearly evident.
Just where did the Grimm go to?
Mistral was a continually burning city of ash as the flames and the smoke rose higher and higher into the sky, blacking out the sun. The military was simply no match for the enemy in their home.
MechaGodzilla 2 was still operational, but was only just as Destroyah continued to attack it. King Ghidorah was helpless as it tried desperately to save Varan from his two attackers, but he was no match for both Godzilla's combined power, not on his own.
The situation was bleak, and everyone still alive knew it.
It was as if on que that the radios went loud again as Atlas requested to come into its airspace. The Commander quickly allowed them in, Mistral needed all the help they could get right now. Rodan was seen flying over the mountains to the North of the city, leading the charge with a screech as around twenty Atlesian AirBattleships and AirCruisers came in from behind, shooting down any Grimm that was in range, on their way to help with the Giant Grim and evacuation efforts that were still incomplete.
They quickly sprang into action, taking on any enemy that dared challenge them.
Three-quarters of the fleet detachment flew over the harbor, firing on the giant Grimm and launching fighter craft at the Nevermores and Griffons plaguing the city.
The airships' volleys on the giant Grimm were enough to get them to separate long enough from their opponents to allow the Guardians and MechaGodzilla some space.
Varan got out from under his attacker, and glided into the air to escape, joining up with Rodan and King Ghidorah. MechaGodzilla quickly sprang up and attacked Destroyah with several furious punches before he could continue his attacks. The Devil-like Grimm let out a screech of slight pain, stumbling back slightly from the forces inflicted upon it.
The older of the two Godzilla's tried using its atomic ray on one of the Atlesian Battleships, but to no avail.
When Godzilla 2000 tried it, however, its increased power in its attack that came naturally with it quickly overloaded the shield of its target before ripping through the hull, and breaking the ship in half before it exploded from the inside.
Varan and Rodan saw that he needed to be distracted, or their reinforcements would be destroyed faster than they came in. The two dove at Godzilla 2000 from opposite sides, slashing at him as they both grazed by him. Godzilla stumbled around, two gashes appearing on him, one on his torso, and the other on his back.
The older Godzilla tried to help his younger brother, but was prohibited from doing so when King Ghidorah attacked him relentlessly with his electricity from the air.
MechaGodzilla fired several rounds from the Garuda Cannons on his shoulders at Destroyah, putting craters in his armored skin around his chest and colossal wings. Destroyah charged at it in response, and grabbed it with its hands before hoisting it up in the air and tossing it into several shipping cranes that were still standing. Destroyah then walked over to his fallen enemy to finish the job.
MechaGodzilla waited until just the tight moment before springing its counterattack. When Destroyah was right over it, before firing the dust beam from its mouth and eyes into Destroyah's face. Chunks of his chitin-ous head fell off from the blast, and he recoiled in pain. MechaGodzilla then used its rocket boosters to charge forward and punch him in the face to add to the damage, and sending him back into some buildings.
King Ghidorah swooped down and slammed his large legs into the older Godzilla, sending him to the ground on his back. He then flew up a small ways before letting gravity bring his weight back down on his opponent.
Rodan and Varan went in for another strike while Godzilla 2000 was still recovering, about to strike him in the same places they struck before to deepen the wound. When they got to their target, they felt nothing where their target was, simply gliding by each other. The two looked back to see he was gone, they all were. The Grimm were entirely gone, and it made no sense.
Everyone ceased their attacks, looking around for where the enemy went to, only to not see them at all, and wonder what the hell just happened.
Behind them, most of Mistral lay in ruins. Fires raged in the city, but now that the Grimm were gone, relief efforts could begin.
The Commander wasn't fooled. She knew they retreated, she saw them disappear in a flash of light, but she didn't know why. That wasn't how the Grimm fought, why would they suddenly change their tactic? She had to push that to the back of her mind right now though. Right now her city lay in ruins, and people needed help down there. She still had a job to fulfill, and she had to be down there to help personally, she felt obligated to do so. After the city had recovered a little, they could then work on their revenge.
Little did anyone know that this was all part of the master plan. This was only a taste of things to come. If they thought they knew the definition of death, pain, and suffering… then they were so very wrong. Soon humanity would be extinguished like a candle by a simple breath of air. There was no way anyone would be able to stop her.
Salem's plans will be revealed in Chapter 11: A Titan Reborn Part 2.
