Chapter Thirteen: Destrution & The Last Stand
When Godzilla got to the command deck, Zigra was still looking at the screen, he concealed the small detonator in his hand.
"I have an answer" he said to Zigra. Zigra gasped & the screen went back into the ceiling, his face was that of a disappointed face "I thought you were different. I thought you understood, apparently I was wrong" he said "what did you really want from me?" asked Godzilla.
He knew that he was there for a deeper reason than just to be tortured for his morality "I have worked so hard to make a new world for my people, an Eden for them, those little meatbags will never understand their potential. Unlike them, I & my people do. Though there could be a place for you, think of all the possibilities" said Zigra.
Godzilla was surprised that Zigra offered him to stand by him though Godzilla did not wish to stoop so low "sorry. But I will not kill out of cold blood, I have already said that" he said with a sigh through his nose & then Zigra's eyes showed a strong hint of anger.
"You know that our grandeur lies in our ability to contemplate are own existence, to know what we are, we both do. If it's such an immense feat for us, I can't imagine what they must be feeling. They were created for the sole purpose of making weapons & making the world more habitable for the species that will success them. That or too merely to be our food supply. It's debatable whether or not there's something beyond this plain of reality for us. But for them there's, literally nothing. It's indisputable. They're just walking sacks of blood & flesh with some; miraculous consciousness that will one day destroy them & their entire species, & that will be that" said Zigra, Godzilla was surprised by what Zigra said though he still was not going to be turned so easily "that may be true but do you wish to know the answer to the question you asked me?" he asked & Zigra's face became curious.
"I have come to the conclusion that: I fight for the planet, my home, & not the humans. & that I will not bother trying to co-exist with them, they seem to not want to anyway. But that doesn't mean I will destroy them pointlessly" said Godzilla.
He felt happy to say that, it made him feel more than like a protector than a destroyer "I see." Zigra said, he sounded sad, unhappy "you're…you're just like the rest…nothing but a disappointment" he then said, his anger grew "you're pathetic! You're not worthy to be called the King of the Monsters!" he yelled, he had lost all empathy for Godzilla; Godzilla then had a small smile on his face.
"I know. That's why I warning you" he said & he then showed the detonator to Zigra "I have placed bombs in your ship that are ready to detonate. If I was you, I would be running" he said & Zigra's face conjoined into fear "that…that can't be! You'll kill all your companions, your son!" he said.
Godzilla's smile grew "I would check that" he said & Zigra's face grew more with fear.
He didn't even bother trying to check because he knew that Godzilla had done something to save his friends "you wouldn't do it. Never in a million years would you ever do such a stupid thing" he said & his smile slightly returned.
"I am very difficult to kill, I wonder if you are" said Godzilla & he gently put his thumb on the button of the detonator.
Zigra's face grew more & more with fear.
&, without hesitation, Godzilla pushed the button & Zigra screamed in anger.
The bombs exploded & water from the river flooded the ship.
It sent Godzilla flying down the corridor but the second the water touched the weapon, the whole ship exploded.
To Godzilla's point of view, everything went blue but after five seconds Godzilla was on the river bottom & could also see the river bottom. He also saw what was left of Zigra's ship; all that was left was the base of the ship & pieces of metal just floating in the blue space.
Though he couldn't see Zigra or MechaGodzilla anywhere, Godzilla then looked up & saw the blurred sun through the water's surface. For a moment Godzilla stood still & though of all the things he had come to terms with.
He had changed, he was a new king. As it happens sometimes, the moment settled, hovered & remained for much more than a moment. Everything around Godzilla went quiet & Godzilla felt very relaxed & at peace. But then time restarted & moved on sluggishly.
&, with a little jump, Godzilla swam up-wards to the river bank, the cold water felt very nice & cold on his warm scaly skin.
On the river bank; Little, San, Moro, Yama & Moru were waiting for Godzilla, Little was worried that MechaGodzilla had done something to his father but then he saw bubbles in the water, no less than three meters away from the bank "something's coming!" said Little, he almost thought it was Zigra but then Godzilla's head popped out of the water & he walked onto land, he was glad to see that they had made it to the river bank safely, without any problems.
Little ran to his father & gave him a hug. & San, surprisingly, gave Godzilla a hug too, she had been worried as well but then she realised who she was hugging, she backed away & turned from him, slightly embarrassed; Godzilla smiled & he placed his hand on her shoulder "thank you, San" he said, he was happy to see that San had grown a likeness to him.
Moro was also surprised by what San done though she saw it was a way to keep Godzilla from leaving "so…it's over, right?" asked Moru "yes, it is also where we part ways" said Godzilla & Little gasped "what?! You really meant it, Father?" he asked in shock & Godzilla nodded.
There was only silence. The smoke from Asano's still burning village raised higher in the twilight sky but the sound of dying villagers had long ceased.
Godzilla noticed how unhappy his son looked when he announced his wish to leave but there was nothing to hold him back, the forest was safe, scared but safe, & Asano was dead, what was left to hold him back?
"Godzilla?" asked Moro, Godzilla turned to her; he couldn't remember the last time he looked into her brown irises though it made him feel a little spark in his chest "I-" Moro started, she wanted to apologise for what she said to Godzilla but before she could continue something erupted from the water & landed a meter away from Moro.
It was Zigra! He had survived though his appearance had changed; he now had a body, which was about the size of a human, razor sharp edged fins for arms, legs & a tail. His whole body was covered in a metal plating, which seemed to be his skin, & he was panting, not out of exhaustion but out of anger; sheer, unrestrained, boiling anger from the depths of his heart. The Zigran stared at the heros with great hatred, he looked ready to murder anyone in his warpath.
Godzilla stepped forward until he was next to Moro "I knew you would survive" he said to Zigra "I'll say it one more time: the humans don't deserve to live" said the panting fish monster "I know, but it's not our place to kill them, they deserve to choose for themselves" said the nuclear dinosaur, his word intrigued Moro but they made Zigra angry "then you shall die with them! Join them in extinction!" he screamed, he charged at Godzilla & Godzilla did the same.
When they got close to each other, Godzilla clenched his fist & threw a punch at Zigra but then Zigra bent backwards & Godzilla missed him; just by a few inches from his beck. Zigra then straightened himself & he slapped Godzilla across the face with his fin, the slap felt like a punch to Godzilla, & then Zigra jump over Godzilla & kicked him on the back of the head, sending him forward onto the black dirt.
Zigra landed on the ground & looked at Moro, she was growling at him "come on, sow!" intimidated Zigra & Moro charged at him, roaring, & just as she got close to Zigra; he moved to the side & he striked her on the back many times until she fell to the ground in pain "Mother!" cried San & she charged at Zigra, with two daggers in her hand, ready to save her mother.
Zigra stopped hitting Moro, turned to San & the two started a duel; Zigra's razor sharp fins were perfect for a blade fight. He striked San's daggers & stared hard at her "you little human bitch! Do you think you have the gull to fight me?" he asked her & San jumped back from him "I am not a human! I am a wolf! Princess Mononoke! & I shall not let you touch my mother or friends again!" she said holding up her daggers & Zigra chuckled in joy "oh! You're not 'letting' me? I would love to see you try!" he sneered, San screamed in rage & charged at Zigra.
Each time the two striked each other a spark came from the blades, they did it for at least a minute "it seems you really are more wolf than a human" said Zigra after the two stop for a second, San looked at him, confused.
"Female, you are no wolf, you are merely a human. A sad, little meatbag who has obviously been misled in life to believe that you are a wolf, look at yourself in the water's surface & you would see the truth" he said & San gritted her teeth "no! I am a wolf! I am of the wolf tribe!" she screamed & she charged at Zigra again, only this time he slapped San right in the face & she fell to the ground, blood leaked out of her nose.
"San!" Little cried & he shot an atomic bubble at Zigra though it had the same effect as last time: nothing. Zigra turned to Little & smiled "come to save your friend, have you?" & Little, Moru & Yama charged at Zigra, roaring & yelling. But when they got close to him, Zigra jumped up & whacked them all in the face with his right foot; sending Moru into Little & Little into Yama. They all landed in a big thud.
"Zigra!" Godzilla called out & Zigra turned & saw Godzilla standing with blood red irises "you wanted to make me & my friends suffer, well now it's time for you to pay for it!" Godzilla then inhaled deeply, his spines lite up blue & fired his atomic breath at Zigra but it didn't hurt him at all, his armour plated skin was strong enough to resist Godzilla's atomic breath, Zigra looked at Godzilla "was that really supposed to hurt?"he asked smugly & Godzilla growled in rage.
His spines lite up again & he fired his atomic breath again but this time Zigra used his fins to split the ray in two! One part of the beam hit the ground right next to Moru; just missing his tail & the other part hit the river.
When the beam ended Godzilla charged at Zigra & they fell to the ground with Godzilla on top of Zigra "you tried to screw with my mind! You failed!" Godzilla yelled at Zigra & he punched him right in the face "you tried to turn my son against his only friend! You failed!" he yelled & he punched Zigra again "she doesn't deserve to be near him!" Zigra yelled at Godzilla "you insulted Moro! You fish faced bastard!" Godzilla screamed at Zigra & Zigra smiled "is that love I hear in your voice?" he asked & Godzilla punched him again.
But as quickly as the punch ended Zigra bite Godzilla by the throat & Godzilla grabbed him by his beck as he tried to loosen his grip, Godzilla got up & threw Zigra off his neck.
Zigra was then surrounded by Godzilla, Moro, Little, San, Moru & Yama.
Zigra had fooled them all, not only was he good at causing psychological pain but he was incredibly strong & fast.
"Come on then" he ordered & they all charged at Zigra, screaming & roaring but when they all got close to him, Zigra striked them all with kicks & punches very quickly.
Godzilla & the others all fell to the ground, they were all stunned & in too much pain to move; Zigra stood, panting "I've done it! The one thing that human, monster & even people from the future have failed to do: take down Godzilla! I may have failed my mission but the Zigran elders will award me greatly when I show him to them" he said then he looked at Little "I'll get something for you as well" then he looked at Moro "you would be worth nothing but I'm sure a sow like you would taste good" he said, he then looked at San the longest "you…what would a little meatbag like you be worth on my world? You could be a good feast…or you could be a slave…" & Zigra stepped closer to San & used his mind control to make her stand "on my planet, human female go for quite a price…maybe you will make a good slave at my side…" Zigra said with lust in his voice "no…San…" said a little voice next to them.
Zigra turned & saw Little, weakly awake with his arm out to Zigra, then BAM! San punched Zigra right in the face; she had broken the mind control & she looked at Zigra with hate fill eyes, she then put her hands into her white vest & pulled out two daggers.
"Is that how you want to play it? Huh?! We that's fine with me!" shouted Zigra but then BAM! Godzilla punched Zigra across the face, & then Little, Moro, Moru & Yama got up & stood near Godzilla & San, each with hateful expressions "none of you have the power to defeat me! I am superior to all of you!" Zigra screamed, he was defiant to the end "no. you're not superior you're just scum. & your pathetic attitude, your just like a sad carnival freak" Godzilla said in an unnaturally calm voice & he took a few steps forward "listen to yourself 'you would make a good slave' don't you have any shame? I thought scum could at least feel shame" he said is a dark tone & Zigra took a step backwards, he was slightly scared, "you are a fool who uses a slave to do your dirty work. A coward & an incompetent, incapable of doing anything on your own. You're not worthy of the lowest pits of hell!" Godzilla yelled at Zigra with great aversion. (Yet another Hellsing reference!)
But then something exploded out of the water & behind Zigra stood MechaGodzilla, working & undamaged.
& once again it's MechaGodzilla time to save Zigra!
Close to the end now!
Hope you are still liking the stroy!
