Kaiju Melee

Match 21: Pulgasari vs Galgameth

The kingdom of Donnegold is under great turmoil. The warriors and the war machines that were sent to stop the invading threat were easily stomped if not forced to retreat all together. The knights and men-in-arms were pushed further and further back until their defense against the legendary beast would do nothing to stop it. In the kingdom's time of great danger, and by the order of the king, the fate of the castle lies in the hands of a legendary beast of their own. They must act quickly to unleash it.

Now, the castle walls burst into debris and raining boulders when a towering form smashes through. Knights stand their ground, shields raised and swords in their hands before they are swiped aside like toy soldiers. The towering beast makes their defense impossible, and their weapons are taken as they run to the kingdom.

The beast that begins eating their taken weapons has the muscular body of a minotaur. Blue fur and scales coat most of its body. Its lower chest and belly are protected with golden, smooth plates that look plainly like armor. Curved horn-like decorations on its shoulders act as shoulder pads, whereas hardened scales act as braces on its forearms, thighs and calves. A row of spikes travels down the gargantuan minotaur until it ends at the tip of its rather short, saurian tail. Based from a bull, from the creation of a dying blacksmith, the monster's head sports a pair of large horns that curve forward. Its nostrils are round and large, much like a bull. Its mouth filled with sharp teeth, the beast has a pair of long fangs in a form of tusks. And hellish-brown eyes glare down at the fleeing knights as he munches on the swords and shields. He marches forward, crushing everything in his path with his three-toed feet, as he continues his feeding frenzy.

Steel and copper do make tasty snacks, but iron is what helps him grow faster. And that is what Pulgasari, the legendary beast of Korea, is counting on. Since the year when he defeated the corrupted emperor of Korea, Pulgasari has been run amok throughout the land, consuming all that is metal he could find. And now, he has come to the far reaches of Europe; where there is far more metal than what Korea has to offer. It was a long trip, too. One with multiple Kaiju and monsters that he had never seen before.

Pulgasari gets a glance at a small building ahead. A small, stoned building with hanged banners and displayed pikes. From his first day of life, he has recognized a building in such a description as an armory.

Perfect.

He marches his way to the armory. And once he reaches the building, he smashes the roof aside, exposing a gold mine of swords, axes, shields, armor and all. Speartips and maces that end mere sticks, he can easily just pluck off. However, the iron cannons that stay at the far back makes his tomach growl more. He grins as he reaches for the first cannon to eat.

That's when he hears a roar that echoes across the air, catching Pulgasari's attention. The minotaur-like Kaiju turns his head to its source. It wasn't hard to spot.

The Kaiju that stands before him is more of a dragon warrior than anything he has seen before. Light tan colors the dragon's hardened hide; whereas the hardened hide appears to be armor over the red under-flesh of his arms and legs. His red hands, armed with claws, have the same tan armor protecting his knuckles and the top side of the hands themselves. His two-toed feet, however, are left without armor. Saurian and muscular in body shape, this dragon has a much longer tail, which sports a row of spikes up his back. On his shoulders, the legendary beast has what look like a knight's pauldron with long spikes protruding from them. His head is no less draconic than the rest of his body. A long, goldish-tan horn protrudes from the top of his head. The beast curls his lips upward, exposing sharp teeth of his own. His eyebrows protruded spikes as his blue eyes glare at Pulgasari. Knights and peasants alike cheer as they see that Galgameth has come to save their kingdom.

With the cost of a large amount of metal, the guardian beast has grown to match Pulgasari's height. And he has come to save the kingdom of the man who was once a prince he was made to protect. He shall not let this be the day he lets his people down.

Galgameth roars out as he marches towards Pulgasari. Pulgasari roars in response before he charges. Head lowered, Pulgasari charges like a bull, aiming his horns for Galgameth's gut. Galgameth is quick to grab onto Pulgasari's horns, and he forces him to stand straight before he kneels him in the chest. Pulgasari growls as he is forced to stagger back. Before Galgameth could take advantage, the minotaur-Kaiju charges again, this time succeeding. His headbutts into Galgameth's gut and rams him through the outer stone wall. Stones explode into debris as Galgameth staggers to the ground, with Pulgasari standing tall.

The minotaur-Kaiju cracks his knuckles as he marches toward the downed dragon, but a metallic sphere blasts against his nape. Pulgasari, unfazed, turns around to see the castle's cannons formed a defensive line on the wall. Another cannon fires, only for Pulgasari to catch the cannonball in his maw. He grins before he opens his maw again, letting the cannonball be fired back to its source. The cannon itself explodes along with a piece of the wall. He turns his head to see Galgameth rising to his feet, and he another cannon fires. Pulgasari moves aside to let Galgameth take the hit. Unfortunately, Galgameth sees it coming and catches it in his teeth. Pulgasari watches as the dragon chews the cannonball before spewing out a swarm of exploding projectiles. The way Galgameth does it is like going toe-to-toe with a shotgun.

Pulgasari raises an arm to block the exploding pellets, only for Galgameth to take advantage of the distraction. The dragon pushes Pulgasari's raised arm aside before he sends a punch against the minotaur-Kaiju's sternum. Pulgasari staggers back, and he glares up at Galgameth. The minotaur-Kaiju charges, ramming his shoulder into Galgameth's gut and sending him far back into the mountain ahead. The impact of Galgameth's back against the rocky side causes an avalanche to fall upon them. Rocks and tumbled trees fall upon Galgameth and Pulgasari before Galgameth pushes him back. Pulgasari pulls back a fist, but the dragon grabs his arm with both hands before he slams him into the mountainside. Pulgasari grits his teeth even as rocks pound against his skull, and he lashes out at Galgameth. He throws a punch into Galgameth's throat, forcing him to stagger back and cough out.

The minotaur-Kaiju thrusts his horns forward, only to watch it scratch harmlessly across Galgameth's chest. Sparks fly as the lack of wounds surprises the Korean beast. Galgameth catches his breath, and he growls as he swings his claws. Just as the dragon's hide surprises Pulgasari, the minotaur-Kaiju's golden plates shocks Galgameth as sparks fly across his enemy's chest. Blade and cannons were never effective against either of their iron-hard hides.

They stare at each other, completely off guard by their apparent similarities. However, as Pulgasari feels the shock of this Kaiju's durability, Galgameth is still in the way of his meal. And Galgameth knows that Pulgasari is still a threat to the kingdom he protects.

Thinking fast, Pulgasari grabs a boulder big enough to be in his hand, and he swings it against Galgameth's skull. Galgameth roars out when he is pushed aside, only for the minotaur-Kaiju to capitalize by tackling the dragon. Pulgasari stands over the downed dragon, and he raises a fist to bash out his eyes, but Galgameth uses his strength to push him off. Pulgasari roars out when he lands head-first into the earth, giving Galgameth the time to rise back to his feet. Galgameth glares at the kaiju before him as he charges to strike. He pounds into Pulgasari's face, only for Pulgasari to retaliate by swinging an uppercut. Galgameth stagger once the minotaur-Kaiju's fist meets with his bottom jaw.

Pulgasari catches a glimpse of the wall ahead, and he charges to tackle Galgameth. Galgameth roars out when Pulgasari crashes him through the wall. Unaware to the buckets of oil and burning torches on the collapsing wall, Pulgasari stands back as he leaves Galgameth to be buried under the rubble that the kingdom wall once was. Covered in oil, the stones are soon bathed in fire along with Galgameth buried under it all. Pulgasari watches as the pile of rubble burns in a blazing inferno before he turns away. He roars out into the heavens as he marches into the kingdom grounds, preparing to have his next meal.

He comes to a halt when he hears a loud boom behind him. taken back, he turns around to see Galgameth erupting out of the rubble. Except his eyes widen by what the flames have done to the guardian dragon. Galgameth's body now looks as if his body is made of molten magma. His hide darkened by the flames, only to reveal numerous cracks of reddish-orange glow spread across his body. When Galgameth opens his eyes, only glowing yellow eyes are revealed to look straight to Pulgasari. Dark clouds fill the sky as if summoned when Galgameth roars out at Pulgasari. Rain pours down upon the battlefield and the dragon's hide, creating a cloak of steam off of his body. His legs erupt out of the rubble as he marches to meet the minotaur-Kaiju head-on.

Pulgasari watches as Galgameth's steps set fire on the grass below, and he glares at the now fire-consumed beast. He pounds his fist together before he charges forward, eager to pound some sense into the dragon once more. However, Galgameth has other plans. When Pulgasari pulls back a fist to strike, he falls in shock when Galgameth opens his maw, unleashing a stream of molten fire upon him. The fire burns against Pulgasari's face and chest, and the minotaur-Kaiju fans the flames out of his eyes. Blindsided, he couldn't see Galgameth sending punches left and right. Smoke and sounds of thunderclaps can be heard for miles each time Galgameth's fists meet Pulgasari's metal-tough hide. With fire off his face, Pulgasari can now see another punch coming. He catches Galgameth's fist in his hand, and both metal-eating titans glare at one another even as Pulgasari crushes Galgameth's fist with all his might. The minotaur-Kaiju sends a headbutt against Galgameth's forehead, but Galgameth retaliates by sending another stream of fire upon him. Pulgasari roars out in furstration when his face is consumed with flames once again, and he quickly acts to wave off the flames. Galgameth steps forward to capitalize, but Pulgasari blindly charges with his horns aimed right at him. Galgameth roars in surprise when he is pushed off his feet by Pulgasari's sheer might.

The minotaur-Kaiju charges forward, smashing Galgameth through another wall and bringing both of them off of the kingdom grounds. Galgameth roars out when Pulgasari stops, letting him crash back-first into the rocky earth. The dragon rises to his feet when he realizes that they are near a cliff. He turns around to watch Pulgasari quickly extinguishing the flames, with the rain assiting him, and he comes up with a plan. It's a risky plan, and it will cost him his life, but he has no choice. He glares at Pulgasari yanking a tree out from the ground, and he sees the minotaur-Kaiju swinging it like a dagger. The dragon steps aside, letting the fire-consumed tree miss him, as he swings a punch into Pulgasari's gut. Pulgasari retaliates by swing the tree left, letting it explode into embers on Galgameth's face. Galgameth growls as burning charcoal rain off his face, before he feels Pulgasari sending a punch into his gut. He ignores the strike by turning around, sending his tail to bash against Pulgasari's side. He then steps forward to slam his bulk against the minotaur-Kaiju. To retaliate, Pulgasari bares his teeth as he charges again, ramming his head into Galgmaeth's gut. Galgameth sees this coming, and he digs his feet deep before Pulgasari stands straight and thrusts his horns forward.

Under the storming sky, Galgameth and Pulgasari clash with their horns, trying to overpower the other. Galgameth's lone horn keeps Pulgasari's right horn at bay, but the minotaur-Kaiju would have his left horn to thrust forward. Galgameth backs away and holds Pulgasari's horn before it ever leaves a nasty wound on his face. They glare at each as Pulgasari tries to get out of his grip, but Galgameth's eyes narrow. He lets go, letting Pulgasari yank his horn out of his grip, and he rams forward.

Pulgasari cries out in agony when Galgameth's single horn pierces into his right eye. Blood gushes out of the socket as the dragon's fire-consumed horn worsens the wound as it burns into the insides Pulgasari's skull. Pulgasari grits his teeth as he punches Galgameth aside, forcing the dragon's horn to erupt out of his socket. With blood dripping out of his eye socket, the minotaur-Kaiju's now lone left eye is now full of murder. Galgameth cracks his clawed hands into fists as Pulgasari kicks the dirt behind him, preparing to charge. Pulgasari glares at Galgameth, but Galgameth only smirks, causing the minotaur-Kaiju to blow steam out of his nostrils in fury. He roars out as he charges, ramming his head into Galgameth's gut and pushing him back without effort. Galgameth doesn't try to stop him as Pulgasari realizes that the dragon was behind the drop of the cliff.

It is too late to stop, however, as Pulgasari loses footing and they both fall off the cliff. They both roar out as they fall to the great heights and crash into the watery depths.

Erupting from the storming waves, Galgameth roars out in agony. Galgameth is no victim to fire, but he is indeed weak against the complete opposite. Galgameth roars out when his body made contact with the water. He feels his body slowly crumbling and falling apart; starting with his feet and tail. He shakes his head, trying to shake off the agony when he watches Pulgasari erupting out of the deep depths. The minotaur-Kaiju is no easy Kaiju to kill. Especially not by water. He moves through the pounding waves until he reaches the beachlines of the country.

Galgameth watches in shock; Pulgasari is not as weak to water as he is. With excurciating pain spreading across his body, and his body losing pieces of itself in the water, he roars out to the heavens, vowing to finish Pulgasari once and for all. Pulgasari finally reaches the shorelines, and he turns to glare at the dragon. In this final showcase of power, Pulgasari is the superior metal-eating guardian. Not Galgameth. He roars out at Galgameth as he pounds a fist against his chest, claiming victory as water eats away Galgameth's body like acid.

And then something strange happens. Something that no one would think it would be possible. As if summoned by the dragon's cries of fury, the dark clouds open up to release bolts of lightning. Galgameth roars out as lightning surges onto his horn like a lightning rod, and his entire body is soon bathed in electricity! With this new power surging across his body, Galgameth only has one shot. And he will make it count.

Plgasari's lone eye widens as Galgameth raises his hand and points his claws directly towards him. The electricity that surges across his body quickly shoot out straight to the minotaur-Kaiju like projectiles. The lightning strike hits Pulgasari square in his bloodied eye socket, forcing the Kaiju to roar out in agony as soon as the electricity surges throughout the inside of his skull. Galgameth glares as his lightning strike keeps going into Pulgasari's skull, igniting explosions and sparks spewing out of the Korean guardian's eye socket. And as the last of the lightning surges into Pulgasari's lost eye, the minotaur-Kaiju just stands as smoke slithers out of his head. Shocked, agonized and furious all at once, Pulgasari stands completely still.

And he watches Galgameth sink deeper into the sea as his own body grows darker. The minotaur-Kaiju falls to his knees as his body begins to freeze and crack all over. When his lone eye is the last to freeze into a statue-like state, Pulgasari crumbles into nothing but pebbles onto the sandy shores.

Watching the minotaur-Kaiju crumble, Galgameth has completed his mission. With Pulgasari destroyed, the kingdom of Donnegold is safe from evil once again. And Galgameth can return to his peaceful slumber. Closing his eyes, the dragon slowly sinks deeper into the sea as the last of his head cracks and crumbles under the waves. With only his horn remaining in the water, many would watch as Galgameth risked his life to protect them once again.

As the storm subsides and the sun begins to go down, the aftermath of the battle was devastating. The walls of the castle were destroyed, but the people of Donnegold will rebuild them. It could take weeks for the walls to be complete, and in a risk of a siege, but they will remember that they did not fall to the likes of Pulgasari. No, they are now living peacefully once more because of their legendary beast, Galgameth.

On the beach line shores, where stoned remains of Pulgasari still lies and pieces of Galgameth are now being washed up shore, two objects remain hidden in the sand. Awaiting to be retrieved by the knights of Donnegold, the small statue of Galgameth and the rice doll that was Pulgasari lay strangely side-by-side by the waves. The tale of the battle between the two metal-eating titans will not be remembered forever, but only god will tell when these two beasts will ever fight in a new war against one another.

However, for all intents and purposes, even in death, Pulgasari and Galgameth will have to call it a draw.

2017. Germany.

To this day, the two relics that were Pulgasari and Galgameth are now seen in display cases. The legends of both Kaiju and the battle between them had been passed down throughout every country for generations. However, as many heroes and guardians appear throughout the modern times, legends become myths. And a predicted return of either of the Kaiju would be irrelevant especially because of the appearances of Godzilla and other powerful titans. And through these trying times, humanity needs a guardian they can control.

And so the scientists of Germany, the highest and most advance Germany has ever known, are gathered to create a third metal-eating Kaiju. Unlike Pulgasari and Galgameth, however, this third guardian will be artificial and superior to the ancient titans. They have been keeping it secret from the United Nations for as long as they had began the project. As far as the battle between Earth's defending Kaiju and Yapool's most vile creation, U-Killersaurus. And with the combined efforts of these scientists, the technology on Germany, and the fluid of an alien meteorite, they have finally created the first sign of artificial life. The thing that is yet to be born will only days to grow. This new weapon, as in progress of creating, will be the ultimate weapon that even surpasses Kiryu and Moguera. Once it has been complete, and once it has enough metallic resource to devour, this new Kaiju will be given the form of the planet's dominant Kaiju; Godzilla himself. And it will eventually grow to carry its own intelligence. Its own weapons. Its own life.

All that Germany had shared with the United Nations is the project's name.

Project: Berserk.

Draw: Pulgasari and Galgameth

Hello, everyone! PsychoReptile here! And we hope that you have enjoyed this match of these two metal-eating Kaiju.

Now, there's some things we need to discuss.

First off, regarding Chapter Twenty. I'm glad there's people who love this chapter. And there's even some guys out there who say that we should do a crossover of Godzilla and RWBY. Now, to that, we decided that that wouldn't happen. For one thing, having a crossover of Godzilla and RWBY doesn't exactly feel like something original or fresh. Besides, we're actually fusing worlds of Godzilla, Ultraman, Gamera and even some anime worlds into this HUGE crossover mess that we call Kaiju Melee. So, you would expect Team RWBY Ultra to be showing up every once in a while. Second thing about that chapter, though, is that someone did ask for the thing that happened in the chapter that is Battle of Earth. When Gigan and Mechagodzilla joins forces with Earth's defenders against the Grimm army. I didn't really expect people to ask for that. I mean, we would do it eventually, but just not as soon as right after 20.

Now, the second thing that I like to share with you guys is that my birthday will be going on next week. And Claire, my co-author, says she has plans for me throughout the whole week. So, I'm not going to be publishing anything next week. HOWEVER, we are working on not one but TWO chapters for Kaiju Melee on the time that you're reading this and after next week. So, not only will you be looking forward for one chapter, but you will also be looking forward for a second one as well.

You're welcome. ^-^

Now, thirdly, because of some recent chapters that showed heroic Kaiju fighting and because of the whole Justice League movie coming, I was thinking of something that's rather unoriginal but just as fun to think of. What would I be thinking of if I actually make a Justice League in this series? Like, a league of Kaiju?

I've always thought that Godzilla would be the Superman of the league. I know, obvious. I mean, first DC character and first Kaiju in history. And they both have unmeasurable power. It makes sense. And Elder Godzilla could be like a mentor or a Sensei to 2004 Godzilla. Now, for the Batman of the league, I'll have to say Kiryu. This is where I start to lose people on this one. However, If you think of it, Godzilla and Kiryu are much like Superman and Batman. Godzilla is more powerful in abilities and endurance, but Kiryu is better in close combat and technology. And the fact that Kiryu takes some hidden upgrades with him much like Batman does makes it sound legit. Mothra would be the Wonder Woman, of course. No reasons there. Rodan, the fastest Kaiju, would be the Flash of the league. Now, Gamera, dare I say it, would be the Aquaman of the league. While Aquaman is the born king of Atlantis, Gamera, the Guardian of the Universe, was created by the Atlantians. And the Cyborg of the league would be Gypsy Danger. But really because no other giant robot has a big circle on its chest like Cyborg more than Gypsy Danger. And it also uses arms cannons like Cyborg. And its body relies on technology, like Cyborg.

Anyway, that's literally all that I got on this idea. So, if you feel like it, let me know on what Kaiju you think would be in a Justice League kind of team. And if, for some reason, you want to know about my ideas for Kaiju being as any other JL members or any of the villians, feel free to ask.

Anyway, thank you guys so much for reading this chapter. Thank you guys for your patience. And as always, look forward to our two new matches. Number One being Team BARRIER vs Darkgone (Belial's second in command)! Don't ask us who Team BARRIER will be. We won't tell you. Number Two being Godzilla and Togera vs King Godzilla!
