Chapter 11
New Faces In The Swamp
In the swamplands, there was nothing but dead trees, thunderous clouds that block the sun, steaming waters, boiling lava in some areas, demons and the ruler of the land the swamp witch. People who are under her orders are three people: Melona, Airi and Menace. These three are under her orders and are assassins. At the moment, the three are bathing in a steaming lake, where they relax and allow the steam to take away their stress.
Elsewhere, three males were on the ground. One had silver hair, red futuristic-like glasses, and three fins on his back, armored chest plate with what appears to be a buzz saw, scythe-like blades above both his hands. He wears green pants and has grey shoes. He opens his eyes and looks at the alien world around him. He staggers up and looks around.
"Where am I," said the man, as he looks around, "is this Earth? I don't remember Earth looking like this on what the Nebulans taught me."
He then looks around himself and notices that his body was not as it used to be. He seemed unsure to what he is. He was about to panic, but was stopped by seeing two more people on the ground next to him.
One had dark skin with dark armor; below him looked like slime and was bubbling a bit. A fume of smoke comes out whenever the bubbles pop, with a scent of something the grey haired man knew of: oil. The other was looked somewhat familiar judging by his appearance. The other that lied beside the slime man wore a helmet with a metal horn sticking up with antennae beside it. His armor was brown and on his back had wings with the color of both brown and orange. His pants are brown and his shoes were silver with two points. Another familiar trait was the drills sticking out of his hands. The silver haired man knew who he was: Megalon.
"Megalon," said the silver haired man, as he shakes his ally back and forth, "wake up! We're in trouble."
"Trouble," said Megalon, as he opens his orange eyes wide open and jumps to his feet, "what kind of trouble, bro?"
"Don't call me 'bro'. It's Gigan."
"What's up?"
"I'm unsure if we're on Earth and unsure who this man is."
Megalon observes his surroundings and is quite unsure to where they are as well. He turns back to Gigan and shrugs.
"I'm unsure," said Megalon, "Does Earth look like this?"
"Not what I know of."
"What was out mission again?"
"To take over the Earth and destroy its cities to colonize," explained Gigan, "how do you not remember that?"
"All I remember was us flying into space until some sort of sorcery sucked us in. Next thing I know, I see you here looking almost human."
"Look who's talking," said Gigan, as he points to Megalon.
Megalon looks around himself and panics.
"What's wrong with our appearances," shouts Megalon, as he flails back and forth, "please tell me this is a dream!"
"We can't dream, idiot," said Gigan, as he clonks Megalon's head.
Suddenly, the third member wakes up. The being opens his Red eyes and looks at the two men in front of him. He is quite confused, as he cocks his head. He then looks at himself, but doesn't react that his body is different than it was before. He lifts up his hands and sees goop coming down from him, but it all slides back inside him.
"What… am…. I?" said the goop man, in a sloppy voice.
"That's what we like to know," said Megalon, "we look human-like, but this isn't our original forms. I bet you are similar to us, whatever you are."
"Do you have a name," asked Gigan.
"…Hedorah," said the goop man, as his body turns to mush and slides over to Gigan.
The mush stops twenty inches away from Gigan and forms back into the man from before.
"My body… works better than… my old one," said Hedorah, as he gives out a smile.
"I can see that," said Gigan, as he takes a few steps back, "where did you come from and what is your plot?"
"I… came from space long ago… I landed… in the sea…. I came out… small…. But I grew… from human oils…. They made me grew… bigger… and bigger…. And bigger… until I was strong enough… to kill them… with deadly gases… my slime… lasers…"
"You are definitely alien, my friend," said Megalon, "we came from space too."
"… You did," asked Hedorah with a cocked eyebrow.
"We came from space and are destroying humans for the Nebulans to conquer it."
Hedorah responded with a smile.
"Can… we be…. Ally's?"
Megalon smiles and walks up to Hedorah and gives out his hand. The drill on his palms disappear, as he sucks them back in to not hurt Hedorah.
"We'll be ally's if you promise s that you will never betray us and follow orders," said Megalon with a concerned look from within his helm, "promise?"
Hedorah sticks out his hand and places it against Megalon's.
"Promise," said Hedorah.
Megalon's now human skin shivered, as he could feel the slime coming from Hedorah.
"Okay, we're good," said Megalon, as he breaks the shake and looks down at his slightly slimy hand, "what now, Gigan?"
"I'd say we walk around this land and see if we can find any life forms that can help us out," said Gigan, as he walks forward, "come. Let's get a move on."
"Aye, Sir," said Megalon, as he hops gaily beside Gigan.
Hedorah takes a slow step one after another until he could understand his new body. Each step, some slime comes off of his body, but it always comes back into his feet.
The trio walked, climbed up rocky hills and through steamy waters until they decided to take a break. The trio sat aside a boulder and looked up at the stormy weather.
"Brother," said Megalon, as he turns his head toward Gigan, "I'm positive that we're not on Earth."
"I'm with you, as well," said Gigan in agreement, "none of this makes sense. I never heard of Earth having a place like this. I think we're not on Earth at all."
"Perhaps my memory with us getting sucked into a black hole was true," said Megalon, as he looks through his earlier memories, "from what my early memories show me, that seems to be the idea."
"I also have another idea," said Gigan.
"What's that?"
"That either 1. The black hole sent us far away from where we're supposed to go or 2. We're stuck in another dimension."
"Another dimension," said Megalon with wide eyes from within his helm, "inconceivable!"
Hedorah turns his head towards the humanized-kaiju and gives out a cocked eyebrow.
"How…am I…. here…then," asked Hedorah.
"I'm not sure," said Gigan, "what was your last memory before coming here?"
"… I…. can't remember…"
"Figures," said Gigan, as he stands back up, "let's-"
Gigan was cut off and he holds up his hand, which was obvious to Megalon.
"What's up, bro," asked Megalon, as he stood up and walks to his side, "do you-"
Megalon stops as well and begins to hear talking; multiple feminine voices from afar.
"Do you hear that," asked Gigan.
"I sure do," said Megalon, "sounds like intelligent life forms."
Gigan turns back to Hedorah, who stood with a cocked eyebrow.
"Hedorah," said Gigan, "stay here. We'll be right back."
Gigan looks up and sees a perfect spot to scout. The fins on his left and right stretched out before Gigan leaps up and lands softly down onto the ledge of the boulder. He scans the area with his eyes, until his sensors picked up three figures. He zooms in on the figures and sees three naked women relaxing in a steamy lake. Gigan zooms away and felt blood trickling down his nose.
"Huh," said Gigan, as he swipes beneath his nose and looks at his bloody finger, "blood? I didn't even sustain damage."
"Bro," said Megalon, as he flies up to Gigan and lands next to him, "what's-why is your nose bleeding?"
"I don't know," said Gigan with confusion, "I looked at the three women over their and my nose just starts bleeding.
Megalon uses his sensors and zooms in on the three naked women, who seem to having some sort of fun in the steaming water. Megalon zooms back, as blood trickles down his nostrils from within his helm.
"Yowza," said Megalon with a dreamy look, "I never knew human women could be that attractive."
"Get it together, Megalon," said Gigan, as he clonks the side of Megalon's head, "that pink one is the strangest. It reminds me of Hedorah back there and is possibly not human."
"What if they're like us," asked Megalon, "they might be kaiju as well."
"How are you certain?"
"I'll go ask myself," said Megalon, as he spreads his wings and flies slowly towards the three women.
"Megalon! Wait!"
It was too late; Megalon was far for Gigan to reach. Gigan grunts and lies back down to observe Megalon and his actions.
"That was fun," said Melona, as she rests her head in the warm water.
"If only I had more servants," said Menace, "it would've been a lot more fun."
"Why don't you go and make some," asked Airi.
"I will eventually," scoffed Menace.
Suddenly, Menace noticed something heading their direction. It looked like a flying human wearing bug-like armor. The three women stood up, as the armored man made a safe landing.
"Greetings, fellow kaiju," said the man in his helm, "my name is Megalon and I come in peace."
"Kaiju?" said Melona with a cocked eyebrow.
"Megalon?" said Menace with confusion.
"Why are you here in the swamplands of the swamp witch," asked Airi.
"Who's that," asked Megalon.
"You're not from around here, are you," asked Melona.
"Nope," said Megalon, "I am a cyborg kaiju from space."
"Space," said the trio with surprise, "you came from space?"
"Indeed I have," said Megalon, as he places his hands on his sides, "I come to Earth to colonize it and make room for the Nebulans with the help of my brother Gigan and our new slimy friend Hedorah."
"Wait a minute," said Melona, as she takes a few steps forward, "did you say 'Earth'?"
"I did. You know it?"
"I heard it from a man who breathes fire," said Melona, thinking back to the man who protects Leina, "do you know a man named Junior?"
"Doesn't ring a bell," said Megalon with a shrug, "the only creatures I know of are called kaiju that thrive on Earth. One of them is the son of the king of the monsters that destroyed me and my brothers clone years back. Not only are we going back to Earth for colonization; we're back for vengeance."
Melona looks around the armored man and goes to her tippy toes to get a look of the man's face.
"I'll give you info to where you are and what's going on if you take off your armor, helmet, and get in the water with us," said Melona with a giggle.
Megalon gives out a flush from within his helm, which is somehow viewable outside his helm. He gives out a sigh and reaches up to his head. He places his hands on his helm and slowly pulls it off and tosses it to the side. The trio was surprised that this man was quite…handsome. He was short brown hair, brown skin, yellow irises, and a young boy-like face. Out of the trio, Menace was quite attracted by his looks that she gives out a light blush.
"How do I look," asked Megalon.
"You look handsome," said Melona.
"Perfect," said Airi.
"Cute," said Menace, making Airi and Melona look over to her.
"You females are so nice," said Megalon with a blush, "what are your names?"
"I'm Melona," said the girl with bunny ears, as she gives Megalon a bow.
"Airi," said the girl with pigtails.
"Menace," said the one with an Egyptian-like crown, as she gives out her hand to Megalon.
Megalon looks at it and gives it a shake. Menace wanted a kiss on the hand, but instead, she gets a handshake.
"Since I'll join you females in your bath, may my friends come?"
"You have friends," asked Melona, "here? Now?"
"Of course," said Megalon, as he points behind himself with his thumb, "my bro is observing me and my action as we speak. He can even hear us slightly."
"Impossible," shouts Melona, "you kaiju are really strange. Care to bring them here?"
Megalon nods, before turning around and taking in a long inhale.
"GIIIIIIIIIIGAAAAAAAAAAAAN," shouts Megalon.
Five seconds later, two figures fly toward Megalon and the three servants. One was Gigan, the other looks like some sort of flying saucer.
"Are these guys your brothers," asked Menace.
"The one on the right is my brother. The other I guess is Hedorah."
"Hedorah," said Melona, "I remember Junior saying something about me being as bizarre as Hedorah. Looks like I get to see how bizarre he really is."
Gigan lands on his feet and the sails on his back go back to normal. Hedorah falls down to the ground, but a red aura surrounds him, as he transforms back into his human form. Gigan looks at the women and sheathes his blades within his hands.
"Greeting, females," said Gigan, "I am Gigan of the nebulans. The person you met is my little brother Megalon. Have we become ally's yet?"
"You could say," said Airi, as she walks out of the water with a sway of her hips, "where you from, cutie?"
Gigan feels his face burn up, as he stares down at the naked woman who approaches him.
"F-from space," said Gigan, as he clears his throat.
"Space, huh? How does a guy like you survive in the skies?"
"Science is all that I can think of."
"Would you like more info on where you're from," asked Airi, as she looks at Gigan up and down, "I'll give it to you if you come in the water with me. What do you say?"
"Are you trying to seduce me," asked Gigan, "I know a seducer when I see one. I learn about human females by the data I receive during my creation."
"Maybe," giggles Airi.
"Come on, bro," said Megalon, as he strips off his armor, "let's get in if we need answers. Isn't that what you wanted?"
"It's true," nods Gigan in agreement, "I guess I have no choice, but to comply."
Gigan does the same by taking his armor off and joining Airi, Menace and Megalon in the water. The waters temperature comes onto the two brothers, as they give out a relaxed sigh.
"Bro, this feels amazing," said Megalon, "is this what the humans call 'chilling'?"
"Indeed," said Gigan in agreement, as he tilts his head back, getting his silver hair wet.
As for Melona, she walks up to Hedorah and looks around him. She is surprised that she and he are quite similar. She touches his black body and retracts it with slime on her index finger.
"Looks like you need to understand how to use your body," said Melona, "if you don't want to look goopy, try brining in your slime and force it to stick onto you."
"…I'll…try," said Hedorah, as he makes a fist and forces the slime from stop dripping.
The slime stops from dripping, as his arms begin to look less messy. He does the same with the rest of his body, as he is amazed that He looks a lot more visualized. His armor was somewhat similar to Melona's only dark blue; his eyes looked like hers, but were yellow and red.
"Amazing…. I can… see more… of myself…"
"Your welcome," said Melona, "anyway, come on in with your buddies and mine. Visualize your body being naked like your friends."
Hedorah's body shifts, as he reveals a muscular body that made Melona's heart skip a beat.
"Oh my," said Melona with a blush, "let's get in. Tell me about yourself and I'll teach you more about this place, the Queen's Blade Tournament, and our master."
