{Final suggestion from the writer, after this part, just put on whatever music you feel is appopriate for battle music. Now back to the story.}
Godzilla got in one more shorter roar before he slammed his body into The Kraken's, knocking the giant sea monster back a little. Then Godzilla turned so his shoulder was facing The Kraken and then rammed him again. Godzilla kept up his assault by smacking his open hand as far as he could reach into The Kraken's chest, followed by slapping his other hand into The Kraken's arm. The Kraken raised his head into the air and let out an annoyed roar before grabbing onto Godzilla's shoulders and squeezing ever so tightly to the point where his claws were digging under Godzilla's skin and deep into his body. Godzilla let out a loud and long screech of pain like he never had before. The Kraken grinned with delight at his foe's pain.
Wanting his smaller enemy to feel more pain, The Kraken slammed his head into Godzilla's, which resulted in a loud crackling sound, almost like thunder and lightning. The Kraken pulled his head back and slammed it into Godzilla's cranium a second time, resulting in another crackling sound. The Kraken pulled his head back one more time and swung it forward, into Godzilla's, which caused another crackle. Blood started to flow out of the top of Godzilla's head and down his snout and into his eye. The Kaiju King's vision was extremely blurry after those headbutts, even with some streaks of red fading in and out of his vision. The Kraken saw the glazed over look in Godzilla's eyes was starting to fade a little, meaning he was snapping out of it. The Kraken then threw Godzilla off to the side with all his strength. Godzilla hit the water hard, making a big splash fly into the air. The wounds on Godzilla's shoulders and head were all starting to heal, but it could take a long time since he was in the middle of a fight. As Godzilla started to push himself back up to his feet, he saw out of the corner of his eye that The Kraken had walked up to him and lifted one of its front legs to stab it down into Godzilla's body. Godzilla had a split second to roll out of the way of The Kraken's sharp pointed crab leg. After avoiding disaster, Godzilla got back up to his feet and turned his full attention back to The Kraken. Godzilla let out a battle roar before stomping back up to The Kraken.
The giant sea monster lifted his fist back for a huge punch, but before he could swing it, Godzilla swung his tail across The Kraken's face, making him stumble back a little bit. Godzilla rushed towards The Kraken while he was still getting back his full balance and let loose a volley of fast and furious bodyshots to The Kraken's rib and stomach area. Each of these mighty punches sounded like a boulder smacking into the side of a mountain, which is how it also felt. The punches to The Kraken's stomach and ribs sent great sensations of pain through his body. Godzilla may be smaller then The Kraken, but he still had strength that seem to come from The Gods themselves. The Kraken finally stopped Godzilla's punches by grabbing at Godzilla's fists with his left hand, while clubbing his right arm across Godzilla's shoulder, making Godzilla struggle to stay on his feet. The Kraken followed up by punching his left fist into Godzilla's ribcage, then several punches across Godzilla's face in a right/left cross combo. The pain of these punches was so eminence that they brought Godzilla down to one knee. But The Atomic Saurian got back up on both feet instantly.
Godzilla snorted his contempt before bringing his foot up and kicking it into The Kraken's chest. The Kraken let out a little moan of pain from the foot to his chest, but he didn't let the pain take his eye off the target, which at the moment was Godzilla, who leaped at The Kraken. He didn't get to far off the ground, but it was just enough for The Kraken to be able to catch him in his arms and then start squeezing for a bear hug. This did not last long however, as Godzilla's back spikes were digging into The Kraken's arms. Plus Godzilla bit down hard with that crocodile-like jaws grip on the side of The Kraken's neck, even drawing blood from his hard bite. He released his bear hug and let Godzilla drop into the water and land on his feet. Godzilla then smack his hand into The Kraken's chest. The Kraken swung his fist at Godzilla's head, but he ducked down, making the fist miss its target.
Then Godzilla punched two body shots to The Kraken's rib cage in a right, left combo. Then Godzilla stood back up straight and tricked The Kraken into trying to swing his other fist into Godzilla's face. But again, Godzilla ducked out of the fist's way and punched into The Kraken's rib cage. The Kraken roared in anger as he swung two of his tentacles forward and started smacking them across Godzilla's face and the back of his head over and over again. Each hit from the tentacles got a roar of pain from Godzilla as it felt like each swing of The Kraken's tentacles was strong enough to take Godzilla's head off. But luckily, it wasn't really and even more lucky, The Kraken ceased his tentacle attack and pulled them back. Godzilla took a little bit to recover from the attacks, shaking his head around, trying to get the cobwebs out. Then Godzilla turned his full attention back to The Kraken and stomped up to him. Godzilla wasted no time, swinging his knee into The Kraken's side, which like many of the attacks before sounded like stone smashing into stone.
The Kraken blocked out the pain as much as he could and swung his right hand claws across Godzilla's face. The claws cut deep wounds in the side of Godzilla's face, making blood splatter out of said wounds. Godzilla's screeches of pain were cut off when The Kraken swung his left hand claws across the back of Godzilla's head, drawing more blood. Godzilla struggled through the pain, but managed to overcome it and shove The Kraken back a little. Then Godzilla swung his tail into The Kraken's body. While this did hurt The Kraken, what he did to Godzilla next hurt a whole lot more. The Kraken dug one of his tentacles into the side of Godzilla's neck. Then the other three tentacles came stabbing into parts of Godzilla's body. The first stabbed into Godzilla's left shoulder, the second stabbed into Godzilla's right thigh and the third tentacle stabbed into Godzilla's left rib cage. Godzilla's shrieks sounded like music to The Kraken's ears. He kept up his assault, pulling two of his tentacles out of Godzilla's neck and shoulder and started slapping them across Godzilla's face. Each time the tentacles hit Godzilla's face, he let out a yelp of pain. After several seconds of several swings, The Kraken pulled his other tentacles out of Godzilla's body and wrapped them around Godzilla and lifted him up in the air, over The Kraken's head. Then he started smacking his free tentacles against Godzilla's body, getting more shrieks of pain, which made The Kraken smile with glee. Then The Kraken swung Godzilla down into the water and down on the ground below. Then The Kraken lifted Godzilla out of the water and back up over his head. The Kraken then proceeded smacking his free tentacles into Godzilla's body, which got more yelps and shrieks of pain out of the helpless kaiju.
After a few swings, The Kraken lifted his hands over his head and had his tentacles lower Godzilla's body into said hands. Godzilla moved his body around trying to get out of The Kraken's grip, but he was unable to before The Kraken threw him several feet away. Godzilla's body hit the water, making a big splash fly up into the air. Godzilla fought his way back up to his feet, despite the pain he was going through. Luckily, because of the distance The Kraken had to walk to get to Godzilla, he had enough time to get back on his feet. But he stayed hunched over to try and trick The Kraken. The mythical monster was indeed fooled by Godzilla's trickery, as was evident by the confident and sadistic smile on its face. He was reaching down to grab the back of his foe's head when Godzilla charged forward in an attempt to tackle The Kraken down. While the sea beast was rocked by the impact of Godzilla's shoulder and arm ramming into his abdomen, The Kraken's many legs were able to keep him from falling. Then The Kraken wrapped his left arm around Godzilla's neck for a standing front face lock. The Kraken used his free right hand to punch into Godzilla's side. Three powerful, booming punches that made Godzilla feel like his side was splitting apart. Then The Kraken opened up his right hand and started stabbing his claws into Godzilla side.
The sea monster was relentless in its assault, loving every second of his claws stabbing into Godzilla and each cry of pain Godzilla let out as The Kraken did it. It seemed like he wouldn't stop with his stabbing. Then finally, after so many stabs, The Kraken stopped and then wrapped his arms over Godzilla's back, around his waste and under his stomach. Then The Kraken flipped Godzilla up over his head and then dropped him down into the water and down head first onto the sea floor, somewhat like a power bomb. Godzilla tried to get up, but he was struggling...as was his regenerative powers. He had used up a great deal of power not only fighting The Kraken, but all the mythical creatures he had vanquished from the island. Unlike his own world where there was nuclear energy in abundance to recharge his power, here there was little to none. And it was at this point in time where all Godzilla's great battles and power draining fights he's had since coming to this strange place were finally starting to catch up with him. Which is not what he needed at this time, as The Kraken looked down at his fallen foe with a big evil grin on his face. Then he lifted his front left leg and then stabbed it down into Godzilla's stomach. The reaction from this attack was Godzilla's eyes shooting wide open and Godzilla letting out what was the loudest shriek he had ever unleashed.
It was so loud that it even got the attention of the fleeing caravan who were steering their ship further away from the battle.
"What was that?" asked Cody. Everyone looked toward the battle zone.
"Was that...Godzilla?" asked Sabrina.
"I think it was," said Estevan as he left the wheel and walked over with the others to look toward The Kraken as he stabbed his tentacles down into the water, an horrible smile etched across his face. When his tentacles came up out of the water, the jaws of each member of the caravan dropped and their eyes widened in horror as The Kraken's tentacles pulled Godzilla's body out of the water.
"Oh, no! Godzilla!" Sabrina cried out.
The tentacles weren't just wrapped around Godzilla's body, they had been stabbed into his stomach, chest and neck. The Kraken lifted Godzilla's body up to him so the two were face to face. Godzilla moaned as his eyes were trying to roll into the back of his head. He tried to lift up his hands, but they were engulfed by The Kraken's much larger hands. He then proceeded to start squeezing down on his opponent's hands, trying to crush them as he flashed a big smile as if to try and say, "You are beaten, I am your superior". Then The Kraken pulled his head back as he opened up his mouth and then charged forward as he bit down where Godzilla's neck and right shoulder joined. Godzilla's eyes shot wide open before rolling into the back of his head as blood squirted out from the spot The Kraken sank his teeth. Sabrina looked away while her brother held her as he also looked away.
"Godzilla's losing!" said Estevan in shock.
The Kraken tried to dig his teeth deeper into Godzilla's flesh before finally giving up and ripping them out of his shoulder wound. Then The Kraken lifted Godzilla high into the air before tossing him up into the air. Godzilla's body went flying farther and farther before finally hitting the water with a loud splash as water flew up high into the air. The Kraken lifted his head into the air as he unleashed a loud victory roar that echoed out over the body of water known as the ocean. But it was cut short when another, even bigger geyser of water spouted up into the air, accompanied by what sounded like an explosion going off. The Kraken stared for a little bit, unsure of what to think, or how to proceed. It couldn't figure out why an explosion would go off like how it just did. It stared, pondering and pondering until he decided it was of no real concern.
Then he looked to the caravan's ship. They all jumped at The Kraken's stare being turned to them. Then he installed more fear in them by letting out a roar before making his way towards their ship.
"Oh my gosh, he's coming. He's coming and he's gonna kill us," said a very frightened Ryu as he held his hands to the sides of his head.
Then suddenly, the earth started shaking, the ocean waves got bigger and more aggressive and the wind started howling and then a sound almost like a generator humming came over the natural sounds of nature.
"Where's that coming from?" asked Cody.
"Guys!" Athena called.
Everyone looked to see she had gone towards the front of the ship. Estevan took a quick look to see what The Kraken was doing. He had stopped dead in his tracks, gazing in wonder at everything that was going on around him. So then Estevan followed behind the others as they walked up to the front of the ship. Then they saw it. It looked...almost...like a window. Except for rather than being manufactured, it seemed like it was somehow organic. What was in this window?
"It looks like...New York city," said Sabrina.
"Then that means..."
Ryu couldn't finish what he was trying to say.
"It's the portal! Wa hoo! It's our ticket out of here!" said Cody.
"Finally...we're on our way home!" said Sabrina.
At first, Estevan was just speechless with a big smile on his face. But it turned into a look of confusion when he got a better look at the people walking the streets if the city. "Uh...guys." Everyone looked to Estevan .
"I really hate to say this...but it looks like those people are dressed like they're in the 1930s," said Estevan.
Everyone took a closer look.
"He's right, you guys. Estevan's right," said Sabrina.
"Oh, man. Right place, wrong time," said Cody.
"Look at the portal. It's doing something," said Ryu.
The image of New York faded. In its place was a forest full of giant dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, or the Ankylosaurus.
"It's traveling through time," Estevan realized.
It was then that the roar of The Kraken rang out. The caravan turned to see him moving towards their ship.
"Here he comes again!" said Cody.
"I guess all this razzle lost its dazzle as far as The Kraken is concerned," said Estevan.
"What do we do now?" asked Athena.
"Look, the portal is switching times again," said Sabrina.
Everyone looked and saw what seemed like a concert taking place. Cody instantly recognized the band on stage and it gave him hope.
"That's it! That's our time where we live!" Cody blurted out.
"How do you know?" asked Estevan.
"The band performing on stage is KISS and I can tell it's our time by the costumes they're wearing on stage and the design of the stage itself. We're that much closer to home, so let's go!" said Cody.
"You heard him, let's move! " Estevan shouted as he ran back to the wheel that steered the ship.
Everyone worked overtime to get the ship moving towards the portal that was their ticket back to their own world as fast as possible. Unfortunately, The Kraken was moving his body as fast as possible to catch up with the ship and while the ship was beginning to pick up speed and movie ever so closer to the portal, it seemed like it just wasn't moving fast enough.
"Estevan, according to my calculations, The Kraken's gonna catch up to us before we reach the portal," Ryu called out.
Beads of sweat poured down Estevan's worried face as he kept the ship heading straight for the portal, despite the seeming futility of it all. The Kraken's legs were moving faster then they ever had before and it was paying off for him.
"Estevan, he's caught up to us!" Sabrina screamed.
It was then that a giant shadow fell over the ship and Estevan turned and looked up to see The Kraken staring down on the caravan with an evil and intent grin on his face.
"What are we going to do?" Cody managed to blurt out before all desire for him to speak was taken away by the loud and taunting roar of The Kraken.
Everyone stared up at the triumphant sea monster, knowing that they were done for. If Godzilla, the former king of monsters couldn't beat The Kraken even after beating all the other beasts he had come across while on the island, how could they hope to stand up to this beast of an animal?
"Well, guys...it was an honor and a privilege knowing all of you. We gave it our best shot and almost prevailed. But I guess it just wasn't meant to be," said Estevan.
He walked over to Athena and wrapped his arms around her before continuing.
"But know that I did everything I could to lead you all out of this safely because you've all come to mean so much to me. You're like members of my family and...I love you all just like you were my family."
Moved by what their leader by default had said to them, everybody walked up and embraced him and each other in a group hug. The Kraken let out a final roar before he brought his tentacles down and started wrapping them around the ship. Everyone started to scream..., but they were interrupted, as was The Kraken wrapping his tentacles around the ship by a giant geyser of water spouting up out of the ocean and high into the air. As the flying burst of water fell back down to the body of water it came from, the clearing water revealed...what looked like a brand new and refreshed GODZILLA!
The rejuvenated Apex Kaiju let out a roar of triumph. All his wounds were gone, he moved his arms around and stomped his feet around like he hadn't just been in a fight, but was getting ready for one. His tail and arms were longer and...he seemed much bigger then he was before. While still not as big as The Kraken, he still looked like he could hold his own. Energy particles crackled up and down across his back spikes and in his eyes as he let out several more roars, letting The Kraken know he was back, pissed off and ready for round two. Time seemed to stand still and give Godzilla's reemergence its full attention.
Both The Kraken and the caravan stood in awe and disbelief at what they were seeing. A few minutes ago, Godzilla was as good as dead. Now here he was, back again and fully recharged, looking healthy as ever as if none of what The Kraken did to him had happened.
"I...I see it... But I still don't Believe it," said Cody.
"W-w-what happened? I don't understand. He was dead! But now here he stands. Is he truly the immortal God the natives of Otto Island made him out to be?" asked a shocked Ryu.
"I don't think so. We weren't the first humans to visit this land remember. Maybe a nuclear powered vessel came and was sunk by The Kraken, or something. But whatever the cause may be of Godzilla's resurrection, it's given us another chance. Once The Kraken starts fighting Godzilla, we're gonna man our stations and get this ship through the portal," said Estevan.
"How will you know when the time is truly right to make our move, Estevan?" asked Athena.
The newly confident captain looked into his girlfriend's eyes and said, "Just wait for my signal. I'll know when the time is right. Have faith, my love, my darling love, Athena."
She saw the glow in his eyes and expression, one that seemed to be gone ever since this morning. The hope in him soon filled up into Athena and gave her hope as well as she smiled as brightly at Estevan as he was to her.
"Okay, my sweet. I trust your judgment."
The two kissed passionately and stared into each others eyes for a bit before their gaze shifted back towards The Kraken and Godzilla who were now roaring at each other. While The Kraken was trying to be intimidating, his roars weren't as loud and viscous as before, fore he was confused and yes, even frightened by Godzilla's rise from the dead. He had felt the life threatening wounds open and the blood spill for himself because he was the one who did it all. So how could this then beaten creature rise back from the watery grave that he had just sent it to. Well, what The Kraken didn't realize was that Estevan's theory was indeed correct. A modern nuclear powered war sub had stumbled into the world and The Kraken forgot he had sunk it. But its power core was left in operation and Godzilla landed on top of it when The Kraken threw him that last time. And it was the result of that collision that the core exploded and released all of its power into Godzilla's body, re-energizing the kaiju king.
Now it was time for the next battle to begin. Godzilla could see that The Kraken was to stunned to move and wasn't making any effort to, so Godzilla waved his head in the air and let out a battle roar before he started marching towards The Kraken. He had little time to react to Godzilla's determined approach. While The Kraken was indeed stunned by his foe's revival, he wasn't about to let him see this. The Kraken let out a battle roar of his own and started to approach Godzilla, despite his roar lacking the same raw aggression it had before. Estevan waited patiently for The Kraken to get far enough from the ship to feel safe actually trying to steer it away from the battle zone and towards the portal. His saw his opportunity when he saw that The Kraken had moved several feet away from the ship and was only a few yards in front of Godzilla. As the two titans roared and The Kraken lifted its tail out of the water only to drop it back down and make a loud splash, Estevan shouted out, "Okay, let's go!"
Everyone hurried to their stations and went to work to get the ship moving towards the gateway between worlds.
Meanwhile, Godzilla and The Kraken stared each other down, waiting to either be the first one to make a move, or for the other to be the one to make the first move. The Kraken was losing the stare down very badly. His eyes were trembling as he was unable to hide the shock he still felt from this creature in front of him coming back for more even after all The Kraken had inflicted on The Kaiju King. Godzilla's stare on the other hand was as cold and as hard as steel, the ruthless aggression easy to see in his eyes. Then a small smile started to form at the sides of Godzilla's face. Anger mixed in with the shock in The Kraken's eyes. He couldn't believe that he was letting this beast get the best of him.
The Kraken tried as best as he could to shake away the shock and fear he had, not wanting them to control him and dictate how his fight with Godzilla will go. The Kraken let out a quick roar before sending two of his tentacles flying at Godzilla. One was heading for Godzilla's head, while the other was aimed at his chest. Godzilla was able to react quickly, dodging to the right and catching the tentacle aimed at his head in his mouth and the other that was aimed at his chest he caught in both hands. The Kraken's eyes opened wide with surprise before he desperately tried to pull his tentacles back.
But Godzilla kept a firm grip on the tentacle in his hands as he started to pull it back towards him, while at the same time pulling on and biting down hard on the tentacle trapped within his mouth. The Kraken tried harder to pull his tentacles out of Godzilla's grasp. But then Godzilla matched The Kraken's strength by tightening his grip on both tentacles and started pulling them back harder and harder. It was a stalemate of tug of war, The Kraken trying to get his tentacles back to him and out of Godzilla's hands and jaws, while Godzilla shook his head around violently while also biting down even harder on the tentacle his teeth were sunk in at the moment. He also dug his claws a little bit into the tentacle in his hands. The Kraken's alarm was raised when he felt himself starting to be pulled forward from Godzilla's superior strength.
The Kraken's head was racing with thoughts trying to figure out how to get his tentacles back and away from Godzilla. He kept with his test of strength tug of war strategy and strained to put as much of his physical being into it as possible. It worked somewhat as he was able to stop from being pulled forward, but he was unable to get any other kind of advantage in the tug of war. Godzilla dug his teeth and claws in deeper into The Kraken's tentacles and pulled as harder as he could with all his strength, putting a real bad strain on them. He pulled harder and harder on both tentacles and bit down on the one in his mouth until finally he bit off the part of the tentacle that was in his mouth. This was followed by the tentacle in his hands snapping in two in the middle. The Kraken's tentacle's came flinging back towards him, smacking into his body and falling into the water.
The Kraken let out a screeching roar that was a mixture of shock, pain and yes..., fear as he lifted up his damaged tentacles and stared at them, wide eyed. As this happened, Godzilla lifted his head into the air and let out a chorus of mocking roars, all of which were aimed at The Kraken. Godzilla lowered his head to stare directly at The Kraken as he let out even louder roars to mock the sea beast. Suddenly a very satanic glare came over The Kraken's face as he let out a low growl that grew louder with each passing second. It ended with a loud roar before The Kraken sent his second set of tentacles charging towards Godzilla's stomach. Godzilla ceased his mocking when he heard The Kraken's angry roar and looked to see the tentacles coming at him. But he saw this too late, as he was unable to make a counter plan, or dodge out of the way before the tentacles stabbed into his stomach.
As if it was a jerk reaction, Godzilla grabbed at the area the tentacles stabbed into as he let out a pain shriek, which was music to The Kraken's ears. But Godzilla cut his pain cry short and the look of intensity returned to his face. Then a blue glow began to flash across his back spikes until it ceased flashing and was just continuously got brighter and brighter. Then a similar blue glow began to emulate from Godzilla's mouth until finally it flew out in the form of an atomic blast. The beam of destructive power cut right through the tentacles, sending blood squirting and chunks of flesh flying up into the air. Pulled his tentacles back and looked at them, seeing they were now only half the tentacles they were before. The Kraken let out a scream, not a roar, but a scream of pain while Godzilla pulled the separated parts of The Kraken's tentacles out of his stomach. The Kraken watched as the wounds the tentacles had left began to seal up and heal themselves.
It was at this time that The Kraken fully accepted the fact that he was in for a lot of trouble. To add insult to injury, Godzilla threw the tentacle pieces at The Kraken. They hit him right in the face before falling into the water. Godzilla began to stomp towards his foe, fully intent on trading him blow for blow in hand to hand combat. A both angry and terrified Kraken forced himself to press forward to meet Godzilla's assault with his own. However as the two got closer to each other and The Kraken raised his huge claws up to try and cut his enemy up into pieces, Godzilla gave himself the big advantage first and fired his atomic blast into The Kraken's chest. A big explosion of fire, flesh and blood going off on The Kraken's chest was the result of Godzilla's destructive beam. The Kraken was rocked back by the beam and was unable to defend himself when Godzilla rushed up and rammed his body into The Kraken's three times in a row.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
Godzilla kept up his attack by smacking his opened right hand into The Kraken's chest, followed by slapping his left hand into The Kraken's chest. Then Godzilla stabbed his right hand claws into The Kraken's abdomen, followed by stabbing his left hand claws into The Kraken's left ribcage. Godzilla then swung his right hand claws down on The Kraken's chest before he pushed Godzilla away, which only got him a few feet in between the two. Godzilla got his footing back easily and then fired his atomic blast into The Kraken's chest again, resulting in another explosion that rocked The Kraken. Godzilla fired a third blast into his opponent's charred and wounded chest, but instead of just letting it hit the chest and stopping after a quick explosion, Godzilla kept his blast going as he aimed it from The Kraken's chest down to his abdomen, then lifted his head so the blast would travel up across The Kraken's left arm before finally aiming for what was left of The Kraken's left side tentacles and kept his beam on them until they were only a little more then stumps sticking out of The Kraken's back.
But Godzilla not only kept his blast going, he sent it traveling back across the top part of The Kraken's body until it reached what was left of The Kraken's right tentacles. Once they were all but gone, Godzilla ceased firing his atomic blast and took a moment to admire his handy work. Blood flowed out of the charred wound all over the front of The Kraken's body with even some small flames flickering out of some of the injuries. And each and everyone of those wounds from the blast hurt like Hell. The Kraken could barely move almost like he was half paralyzed, it all hurt so much. The Kraken's body then started to tremble almost uncontrollably. But it wasn't from fear...not this time. Oh no, all the fear was gone, replaced with pure anger. At this point it didn't matter to The Kraken if he died himself in the process, but he would do whatever it may take to kill Godzilla.
The Kraken charged up to Godzilla and swung his closed right fist down at Godzilla's head. Godzilla saw the fist coming and quickly got his hands up and caught the huge fist before it could smash into his head. The Kraken's eyes opened wide with surprise as he looked down at Godzilla, who responded with a cocky look as if to say, 'Yeah, I did that'. Then Godzilla pulled his right hand back, balled it up into a fist and then punched The Kraken right in the face, making his head whip back a little. The Kraken responded by slashing his left hand claws across Godzilla's face. When Godzilla turned his face back to face The Kraken after the blow, The Kraken saw that the claw marks left on Godzilla's face were already starting to heal and seal up. Godzilla retaliated by stabbing his left hand claws into The Kraken's left ribs before slashing his right hand claws down The Kraken's chest.
The Kraken swung his right fist across Godzilla's head, which was followed up by Godzilla punching his right fist across The Kraken's head as well. Then The Kraken punched Godzilla back across his face, which led to Godzilla also once again punching The Kraken in the face. The Kraken punched Godzilla across the face one more time before Godzilla punched his right fist across The Kraken's face. But this time, he followed up with his left fist punching across The Kraken's face. Then Godzilla did the same right, left combo one more time. Both monsters stumbled around from being stunned by each others continued assaults. The Kraken shook his head and recovered first, clubbing his right fist down on the top of Godzilla's head, which made The Kaiju King stumble back a little. However, he was able to get his footing before he could trip and fall. Then Godzilla rushed forward and swung his right hand up at The Kraken's lower jaw like he was throwing an uppercut.
But Godzilla kept his hand opened so that his claws would slash up into The Kraken's jaw, leaving drops of blood flowing out of the slash marks and dripping off of Godzilla's claws. Godzilla kept up his assault by wrapping his arms around The Kraken as best he could and then rammed his left knee into The Kraken's abdomen at least three times. The Atomic Saurian followed up by firing his atomic blast into The Kraken's face, sending him stumbling back as the blast exploded in his face. After Godzilla ceased his atomic blast, The Kraken started grabbing at his face, feeling every ounce of pain from the blast. The Kraken looked through the spaces in between his fingers to see Godzilla walking towards him. The Kraken began the next attack before Godzilla reached him by lifting his big and really thick tail up out of the water and slamming it into the side of Godzilla's body. The girth of the tail and the force it had when it smacked into it was a little too much for Godzilla, even with his renewed power. He ended up falling off his feet and into the water.
As Godzilla tried to get back up, The Kraken slammed his tail back down onto Godzilla, making him slip off his hands and knees and back down onto his chest and stomach. Godzilla tried to get back up again, but he was met with more opposition from The Kraken's tail slamming down on him. The Kraken stopped with his tail attack and turned until he was looking directly down at Godzilla. Then he lifted his hands up over his head and clasped them together before swinging them down on the back of Godzilla's head. Whole it did hurt, it didn't keep Godzilla from getting back up to his feet. His resolve was to strong, his determination unstoppable, his will unbreakable, his anger unmeasurable. The Kraken swung his clasped hands down on Godzilla's head, but again Godzilla would not go down. Instead he stabbed his right hand claws into The Kraken's abdomen, then pulled them out and then stabbed his left hand claws into The Kraken's abdomen before pulling them out. Then Godzilla did the same stab combo all over again. Then Godzilla balled his right hand up into a fist and punched The Kraken in the side of his face.
Then Godzilla did the same with his left hand, balling it into a fist and punching into the side of his opponent's face. The Kraken tried swinging his left hand out for a backhand, but Godzilla ducked under the huge hand. Then The Kraken tried to swing his right hand into the side of Godzilla's head, but he ducked back making the fist miss him by inches. Godzilla took the opportunity to bite into The Kraken's right arm. The sea monster's alarm was raised as he pulled his arm out of Godzilla's mouth before he could fully bite down with all his power. The Kraken looked down at his arm and saw that some bite marks were left in his arms, though not very big ones. The Kraken and Godzilla then rushed at each other and grabbed at each other and tried to get an advantage. Back and forth the two struggled, but between Godzilla being the shorter of the two and all the injuries The Kraken had, neither one was able to get a very good advantage.
Godzilla ended the hugging match by getting one of his hands free and punched into The Kraken's chest, knocking him back a little. Godzilla rushed forward and this time punched The Kraken in the face. Godzilla didn't notice The Kraken's right fist swinging up until it hit him for an uppercut. Godzilla was slightly rocked by the punch, but he was able to regain control of the situation by swinging his left foot out and kicking The Kraken in the ribs. Afterwords, Godzilla brought up his right foot and kicked The Kraken in the chest, after which Godzilla swung his tail around into The Kraken's face. The Kraken let out a frustrated roar as he left his front legs up and started moving them to try and stab into Godzilla's chest. But The King of Monsters released his atomic blast from his mouth and it let blow The Kraken's front right leg completely away in a ball of fire. The Kraken roared out in pain as he grabbed at where his right leg use to be.
It seemed as though Godzilla's advantage just got bigger and bigger. With great anger in his dark heart, The Kraken reached out his right hand and grabbed Godzilla by the throat. But Godzilla simply used his hands to bat away The Kraken's hand. So then the sea monster tried to grab Godzilla by the throat with his other hand, but again it was swatted away. The Kraken reached out his right hand again. But this time it was met by Godzilla's atomic blast. This resulted in the hand being almost completely blown to pieces in an explosion of fire, blood and flesh. The Kraken let out another roar as he grasped at what was left of his his burnt up, mangled and deformed hand . Blood trickled from that stump and dropped into the water. The Kraken's roar continued until Godzilla shot his atomic blast across his eyes, blinding him. The Kraken reached his remaining hand to his eyes, while Godzilla stepped forward, grabbed The Kraken's right arm and then Godzilla swung The Kraken over his shoulder and sent him flying through the air before crashing into the water several yards away.
Meanwhile, Estevan and the others steered the ship ever so closer to the portal and their salvation.
"We're almost there!" Cody shouted from the front of the ship.
"Damn right we are! We're so close, I can almost taste the air of our world!" Estevan shouted back.
"You mean polluted?" asked Sabrina.
"I don't even care if it is at this point. If it's from our world, I'll be happy to breath it in!" Estevan responded.
"We're making our final approach!" Ryu called out.
"Alright, then. Steady as she goes," said Estevan as he steered.
The intensity on his face was apparent as he held his breath for a split second when he realized just how close they were. Everyone else shared his look of intensity as they felt their pulse pounding in their chests and in their throats, sweat pouring down their faces until the last second until finally...the ship passed through the portal. It didn't feel strange or anything like that, passing through the portal. It was almost as if it wasn't there, like they were just sailing through free space and air. The only difference was that after they past through the portal, there was a harbor and a city in front of them.
"WOO HOO! WE MADE IT!" Estevan screamed out before letting out an almost maniacal laugh.
A chorus of cheers rang out from the people on the ship as they raised their arms in celebration.
"Which city is that?" asked Sabrina.
"Guys, I recognize some of those buildings. I know exactly where we are. That's Tokyo, which means we're in Japan! Woo!" Ryu let out.
Then everybody ran to meet each other in the middle of this ship as they embraced in a group hug as they continued to cheer and laugh. All this led to them dancing around in a circle as they continued to let out cries of joy. They released their embrace, but continued to dance around each other until they were tired out and dropped onto their backsides and then laid back and took in deep breaths. Estevan looked up at the sky, a big smile on his face as several happy thoughts ran through his head. But those thoughts were interrupted when his saw a light starting to shine from out of the corner of his eye.
"Everybody, look at Athena!" Sabrina shouted.
Everyone sat up and looked to see that it was indeed Athena who was glowing. Athena got on her feet, followed by everybody else as she looked down at herself in confusion and alarm as her glow got brighter.
"What's happening to me?" Athena asked with a tremble in her voice.
Estevan started to step toward her, but the glow got much brighter to the point where it was blinding. Everyone looked away and put their arms up to shield their eyes from the brightness. While Estevan's eyes were squinted, he tried to open them as much as he could to try and see Athena.
"ATHENA!" Estevan shouted as the light got even brighter.
Then it slowly started to fade until finally disappearing. Once it was gone, everybody was able to fully open their eyes and lower their arms. Everyone's eyes, especially Estevan's went wide with shock. Gone was the anthropomorphic wolf warrior named Athena. In her place was a human girl. She looked down at her hands and got the same shocked eyes look on her face that everyone else had.
"Athena? Is- Is that you?" asked Estevan.
"I... I don't know," the girl responded.
She spotted a piece of glass and ran to it. She lifted it to her face and looked at her reflection. And what she saw increased her look of shock.
"It doesn't look like me," she said. Everyone walked up to the girl believed to be Athena's side.
"Please let me look at you more directly," said Estevan.
The girl turned to let Estevan look at her. He examined her face. Though a lot of her features were human, they also appeared to be ever so slightly wolf-like and very familiar to Estevan. Then his eyes peered into the girl's eyes. They were the same color as Athena's were. Then Estevan made an image in his mind where the girl's face slowly added more wolf features to her face until it was more wolf then human.
"You are Athena," said Estevan.
Then he noticed her hair was long and black and her skin was tan as well. Estevan then imagined this girl in a purple one piece swimsuit.
"It was you! You were the girl in my dream. I thought it was someone else, but it was you as you are now! I wasn't desiring another girl, the dream I think was some sort of premonition of this moment here!" Estevan said excitedly.
"But h-h-how did I become a human?" asked Athena.
"Maybe it had something to with us crossing through the portal?" Ryu suggested.
"Then why didn't we go through any sort of transformation when we went through the portal?" asked Sabrina.
"I think we actually might have," said Cody.
Everyone looked to him for an explanation.
"Well think about it, do you think we might have been able to do half the stuff we did on the island anywhere here in our world?"
Everyone thought about it for a little bit.
"Probably not," Ryu admitted.
"So...great... I mean, wow! ...I'm a human now," said Athena.
She looked at herself in the mirror again and then looked to Estevan before walking up to him.
"Does this transformation I went through affect you're feeling for me at all, Estevan? Do you love me anymore, or any less?" Athena inquired.
Estevan took Athena's hands in his and said, "Nothing would ever change my true, deep feelings for you. It wouldn't have mattered if you stayed a wolf, became a human, or even if you became a turtle who knew ninjistu. I will always truly and very, very deeply love you my sweet, sweet, Athena."
Her eyes lit up as an emotion filled smile came across her face, which made Estevan smile as well. The two then embraced each other in a great, big hug. The two rocked back and forth in each other arms for a little bit, wanting to bask in the great moment they were having. Then they looked into each others eyes before locking their lips for a kiss. Everyone stood and watch with looks of aw and happiness for the couple.
"I'm proud of you both," said Cody.
He continued, "You both went through so much together, even slightly doubting the future of your relationship together. But even through all the monsters, all the sex craving horse people and even this transformation, the both of your love is just as strong as the day you two crazy kids fell for each other."
Estevan and Athena both smiled at Cody's kind words.
"Thank you very much, Cody," said Estevan.
"Yes, thank you. The fact that you've all been so excepting of our relationship together means more to me then you will ever know. I want you all to know that I will forever be you friend," said Athena.
Everyone was quiet for a little bit, letting Athena's words sink in.
"We will be your friends now and forever too, Athena. You know, there's another bright side to this. You guys wont have to go into hiding in order to pursue you relationship," said Sabrina.
"Wait a minute!" Cody blurted out.
Everyone looked at him.
"What about Godzilla?" Cody asked.
"Oh, that's right, we never saw him come through the portal!" said Ryu in alarm.
"Then that means that... H-he must still be on the other side...fighting The Kraken," said Estevan.
Everybody turned to stare at the portal.
"What are we gonna do, Estevan?" asked Athena.
"Well, we're certainly not going back to that side of the portal. No, instead we're gonna wait right here until either Godzilla comes out,...or until the portal fades. We went over to that side together, we should at least try to see if we all made it back over here together," said Estevan.
"Oh, I hope Godzilla does make it back safe and sound," said Sabrina.
"Have faith my sister," said Cody.
"Cody's right, we have to believe in Godzilla the same way we did when he helped us all those times on the island," said Ryu.
"All we can do is wait," said Estevan as he looked on at the portal with everyone else.
Meanwhile on the other side of the portal, Godzilla was making his way towards The Kraken as he tried to push himself back up after being thrown through the air by Godzilla. The Kraken heard Godzilla's loud proclaiming roar and looked behind him to see The Monster King approaching him. This gave The Kraken time to think of a plan and prepare to put it into the action. Godzilla slowly walked on, not knowing of The Kraken's plan. Once Godzilla got a certain place near to The Kraken, he swung his tail that was hidden underneath the water into Godzilla's leg.
Godzilla let out a high roar of surprise as he began to fall to his side, hitting the water with a loud splash. As Godzilla was falling, The Kraken stood back up and let out a loud roar of triumph. Under the waves however, Godzilla saw The Kraken's many long crab legs that were attached to the sides of The Kraken's lower body. Godzilla took advantage and fired his atomic blast. The blast shredded through the sharp ends of The Kraken's legs, leaving them in pieces. The Kraken let out a roar of pain and surprise as he fell forward into the water. Godzilla on the other hand pushed himself onto his feet and the upper half of his body out of the water. Godzilla let out his own triumphant roar and then grabbed The Kraken's tail. Godzilla used all his strength to lift The Kraken up into the air and slam him down onto his back.
The Kraken groaned in pain as he rolled onto his stomach to try and push himself back up. He felt the searing pain of Godzilla's atomic blast going up his back, no doubt blowing away more flesh. This stopped The Kraken from pushing himself up and made him fall back down. Godzilla made his way around The Kraken and up in front of him. Then Godzilla grabbed the top of The Kraken's head with his left hand while he used his right to pound into his temple. Each punch got harder and harder, Godzilla's determination to end this growing with each punch. This would be the final round of their fight so Godzilla kept saying to himself. After eight punches to The Kraken's temple, Godzilla opened his right hand and started stabbing into the side of The Kraken's neck. The first six stabs went into one part of the neck side, wanting each stab to go deeper until he felt bone. When he did, for the last six, he aimed further down the neck for the end of his stabbing spree. Then Godzilla brought his right knee up, slamming it into the side of The Kraken's face.
The impact sent him flying up until he was standing straight. Godzilla hurried and rammed his head into The Kraken's chest, rocking him a little. Then Godzilla fired up his atomic blast and shot it into The Kraken's face. The blast kept going and blasting away flesh in a fire bath until finally when Godzilla did stop, The Kraken's face was completely gone, smoke flowing out of the spot where the face use to be. Godzilla slightly tapped his finger to The Kraken's chest, making his body fall back into the water with a loud splash and sank underneath the waves. Godzilla raised his head to the sky and let out a loud, echoing victory roar as a warning to all who dared to challenge his reign as The absolute King of monsters. Godzilla looked at the spot in the water where The Kraken's body fell where blood know floated, mixed in with the water and bubbles popped rose to the surface with an extremely satisfied look on his face.
Then he heard a sound emulating from the portal. He looked behind him to see that the portal was wavering as if it were about to dispersed. Godzilla hurried out into the deeper waters where the portal was, knowing very well that on the other side was the world where he lived and belonged. As the water got deeper with each step, Godzilla felt his body lowering more and more into the water. First he felt the top of his legs go under the water, followed by his lower body and then his arms. He waited until the water was up to his shoulders, then Godzilla dived head first into the water and started swimming for the portal. He realized while he may not be super fast while trying to walk, or even run, when swimming he moved at tremendous speed. Godzilla's body moved like an alligator, or crocodile swimming through the water which aided in his swimming speed as he tried ever so desperately to reach the portal as it continued to wither away.
Meanwhile, on the other side back in the world of the humans, the caravan watched in despair as the portal disappeared, leaving the strange world of Greek Mythology come to life far behind to fade into the memories and dreams of the people that visited the world and experienced its dangers close up and personally. Everyone's look implied they were expecting something else to happen. But as the seconds ticked by and turned into minutes, their looks turned to sorrow and sadness.
They just couldn't help but shed a few tears at the thought of the being who had such a nasty reputation as a destructive and evil monster but actually took the time to directly help and protect them from the dangers they faced and proved he was a being with a good and caring heart being cut off from his home even after being such a good...person.
"So...does this mean Godzilla is...still there...trapped forever, or at least until that portal opens again?" asked Ryu.
Nobody responded, instead choosing to morn in silence as tears flowed down their faces. But then something caught their ears. The sound of water waves getting louder. Then Estevan noticed as a part of the water started to rise up.
"Hey, look!" Estevan shouted as he pointed to the water.
Then everyone let out cheers of happiness as Godzilla broke through the water's surface and let out a roar, announcing his return to our world.
"He made it!" Cody cheered as he jumped up and down.
"Do you guys see that?! He made it!" Sabrina shouted out loud.
Estevan and Athena celebrated by hugging each other close as they let out laughter of relief and joy. Ryu and Cody shared a quick hug before Sabrina joined in and kissed them both on the cheek. Then they hurried over to Estevan and Athena and they joined together with their arms wrapped around each others shoulders.
"Alright, Godzilla!" Estevan cheered.
"Way to go, G Man!" Cody added on.
"It's great to have you back with us again!" Athena joined in.
"Welcome back to this side!" said Ryu.
"We're all happy you made it!" said Sabrina.
Godzilla walked over to the ship and bent down until his head was right next to the ship's side and he was looking directly at the caravan. He saw the smiles on their faces, the brightness in their eyes and felt the love in their hearts. It almost brought tears to his eyes to think that all that was meant for him.
"Look he's smiling," said Sabrina.
Indeed, Godzilla did have a very small and caring, even somewhat nurturing smile on his face as he let out a low growl and his eyes half closed like when a cat is purring.
"Thank you for all you've done for us, Godzilla. Regardless of where your journeys take you and no matter what experiences may come of them, please don't forget about us and all that you did for us," said Estevan. "We certainly won't forget any of it, or you," Cody added. Godzilla let out another low growl before he stood back up straight and began to walk away, out into the waving water of the Pacific Ocean. When he got up to his waist, he looked back at his new found human friends and then let out a final goodbye roar before dropping the rest of his body below the ocean waves. Everyone looked out at the spot they last saw Godzilla before shifting their gaze to Japan. "Well what are we all gonna do when we get back to civilization?" asked Cody.
"Well I plan on leaving any life that had to do with the ocean behind for one, heh, heh. But seriously, I wanna start my relationship with Athena and keep it going on forever. One of the first thing I wanna do is introduce you to my parents and sister. Is all that fine with you, Athena?" said Estevan.
"It all sounds perfect to me and I wouldn't have it any other way, Estevan," Athena replied before the two kissed.
"Sabrina?" Cody asked.
"I'm gonna become a school teacher. I love children and would really love to work with them for a living," Sabrina replied.
"Ryu?"
"I'm gonna be a doctor. I plan on dedicating my life to trying to make people feel better," said Ryu.
"What about you, Cody?" said Estevan.
"Yeah, what are your big plans now that we're back in the real world?" asked Sabrina.
"Let us all in on it," said Athena.
"Well, since you all asked, except for being as close to you guys as possible, I also plan on getting a new, water free job and hope that it will lead me to reuniting with my son," said Cody.
"I know you will see him again and that when you do, he will be yours to raise once again," said Estevan.
Everyone voiced their agreement and gave each other pats on the back.
"Thank you all. I will see my son again. i just know it," said Cody.
"So do I, just like I know we'll all see our dreams come true if we work as hard at them as we did to get back home to the place where we belong," said Estevan.
After all kind thoughts were shared, everybody went to their stations to steer the ship into Tokyo bay. While they would all move on with their lives and do many things in life, they will never forget there big, life changing adventure with Godzilla on Mythology Island.
It's been a long road getting from there to here. It's been a long time, but my time is finally here. And I can feel a change in the wind right now. Nothing's in my way. And they're not gonna hold me down no more. No they're not gonna hold me down. 'Cause I've got faith of the heart. I'm going where my heart will take me. I've got faith to believe that I can do anything, I've got strength of the soul. No one's gonna bend, or break me. I can reach any star, 'cause I've got faith. Faith of the heart. I'm sorry for quoting the Rod Stewart lyrics, I just feel very emotional right now. This is a big moment for me. I started this story 2 years ago and when the internet went out the first time at my house, I was wondering if I would ever finish this story. And now that I have, I feel so great right now. But now comes the big stuff. Letting you know right now, this will be a REALLY LONG author's note, which I guess kind of makes sense due to this being a long ass chapter. One question some may ask, "Why did I take so long to get it finished and put up?" I will answer that question with a question of my own. DO YOU SEE HOW LONG IT IS?! As I've said before, I work at the pace I want, not what other people want. And again, I do have a life off this computer and I won't stop living it for anyone. There are the answer I'm sure some of you are looking for.
And now for a big announcement that may upset some of you and others may be okay with, but either way it's my decision and it's the decision I'm sticking with. I've decided to step away from Godzilla for a little while in terms of writing Fanfictions. While Godzilla is absolutely Number 1 in my heart, I have a bunch of ideas for other franchises I want to write. First I wanna finish my Tiny Toon Adventures story that is currently up on the site, then I'm gonna do a story for the Disney animated show, Gargoyles. Then I wanna do a crossover with Guyver and Teen Titans. Then I'm gonna do an Ultraman story, I'm sure you can all get down with that. Then I'll go back to Godzilla. The first Godzilla story I do may, or may not be a crossover with another franchise, but I haven't decided yet. To those who support my decision, thank you. To those who want nothing but Godzilla stories from me, sorry, but my decision is final.
Now I'm gonna do something I probably shouldn't do. I'm gonna review this story from the writer's perspective. Which in all honesty I probably shouldn't do for more then one reason, including that I can't judge it fairly. What I mean by that is I'm never satisfied with my stories. This is a few words of advice for all my fellow fanfiction writers out there. You can never be 100% satisfied with your work. You can take enjoyment in it, yes, but when you go back to read and review your story, ask yourself, "How could I have made that part better?" "How could I have told that part better?" Then if you figure it out and you find yourself writing a similar part in another story of yours, apply the changes you thought of. Then go through the process all over again of trying to find better ways to tell a story. Because I'll tell you what, the day you are absolutely okay with how you write a story, the day you say I can't do it any better then the way it is, that's the day you need to quit writing. Take pride in your work as I do, but don't be completely okay with it.
Now for my review, I stand by the idea of having Godzilla ending up on an island full of monsters from Greek Mythology. But in creating the human characters the readers were suppose to follow, they could've been better written. A lot of their personalities seemed the same to me and a lot of the dialogue I wrote from them seemed awkward and repetitive. I mean it, I'm almost 90% sure I reused certain lines of dialogue and am at fault of finding ways to say basically the same thing over and over again. I wish I could've written the characters better. I don't know why I wasn't able to. I also know maybe I may have been a little to descriptive in places that didn't need it and not descriptive enough in other places. Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again. My sword fight scenes suck. More research on how to write sword fight scenes is required. Also I know I did a lot of run ons in parts of the story. Don't be afraid to let me know in your own reviews of where the run ons are exactly, or of other errors, like words that sound the same, but are spelt different, i.e. threw and through. Seriously, let me know what my errors are and even have a good laugh about it at my expense so I don't make the same mistake again in future stories. Also in your reviews tell me what your favorite chapters, fights, characters and any other moments in the story are. I really, REALLY want to know. Having said all the negative stuff, I still enjoyed writing the hand to hand fight scenes, especially Godzilla's and even enjoyed writing some of the character moments. Maybe the story would've been better in the hands of a better writer.
Before I wrap this up, I wanna say a few thanks yous and make a few dedications.
I dedicate this story to:
Asura94 who when I first came onto Fanfiction .net went by the username Broly94. He was the first person to add me to his favorite authors list and since then, we've become very good friends. I even based one of the characters in the story off him. He's my brother and I hope he feels the same way about me.
The Lost Warrior who when I first came onto Fanfiction .net went by the name The Demon of darkness. When I first started spacing my chapters into paragraphs, he helped me do it a little until I finally decided I should do it myself and take a little more responsibility for my story editing and spacing.
Godzillafan1 a guest reviewer who has completely supported this story for so long. Even if sometimes his demanding more of the story when I wasn't ready to give more got a little irritating, I know he meant well. I say to him, Dude, you should make an official profile on this website so we can PM each other. I'd like to meet up and talk about stuff with you. We might have a lot in common with each other. Thank you for supporting my story for as long as you have.
MegaAndroid a friend of mine from way back who was gonna be a writer on the site, but decided he didn't want to due to the site's ways being too confusing for him and preferring to write his stories down on paper. I've known him since elementary school and our friendship has lasted all these years. I truly feel blessed to have a friend like that.
Ray Harryhausen and Ishiro Honda, 2 men responsible for a lot of monsters and elements that went into this story. I love both their works and I hope I did them proud enough with this story.
I would like to thank:
All the people in the dedications
Dark Fox Tailz who's request for better spacing of paragraphs made me realize that's the way I have to write stories. BTW I will be applying that same change that I made in this story to all my other stories for my regular readers. So there's that.
And finally to all those others who read and reviewed my story and followed me on this journey. I see in the story stats how many people read this story and to those who read it the whole way through and enjoyed it, thank you all very much. I'm The Guy Who Likes To Write Stuff, thanking all of you. May God bless all of you.
