Godzilla (1972), Rodan (Showa), Varan, Baragon, Black Moth, Mothra, Kong & Gomess vs Moguera, Gaira, Maguma, Neronga, Jirass, Gezora, Ganimes, Gabora, Kikya, & Ghidorah
It was a sad day for all of them. Last year, there was a day when a great man passed away. A man who once wroked for stunts in Samurai films, and even portrayed as a bandit in one. Then, he was the one who made Japan's first and most famous monster come to life. Ever since then, this man had portrayed many monsters and starred in many of Japan's oldest and revolutionary films and television shows. From the flying terror of a Pteranodon, to the largest caterpillar on the planet, to the thrilling monsters that had faced the mighty Ultraman. To say that the news of his death was devastating would be an understatement. Now, though, this is the very anniversary of the legendary man's death. And a handful of "people" have come to visit the grave of their own.
Japan is not the only country and land that has the grave of Haruo Nakajima. Somewhere in the ocean bordering the rather small country, a small island was found. This island was not founded by humans or aliens from outside of Earth. It was found by the very monsters that plagued Japan: Kaiju. The small island was founded, and for some unexplained reason, the Kaiju had made a grave of their to honor someone. Despite how many people would question the meaning of this construction, some have actually have the right idea of what it is for. Perhaps the monsters that were brought to life have deeper gratitude than humanity had thought.
Somewhere in the deep Pacific Ocean, the water surface has suddenly become disturbed by a force beneath. Waves roared and seawater splatter at all directions as a massive form erupts from beneath the sea. The dinosaur-like shape of Godzilla descends from the cold depths and out into the fresh air. His black, charcoal skin illuminated slightly by the sunlight, his one row of large dorsal plates white as pearls. The other two rows were barely dorsal plates more than large bone protrusions. His black-pupil eyes scan what he has came for. The island that Rodan and Varan had found was not as large as Monster Land, but it was enough. As he reaches up the beach line of the island, he is stunned that the island has grown since they have first found it. From before, the island nothing but a wasteland. Now, it has grown trees and plantation since they have left it. It almost seems that the island has been blessed. To this, Godzilla could feel that this place has been truly honored.
Setting his three-toed foot onto the beach of the island, Godzilla breathes in the air for the longest time. It almost feels as if it was the day of the man's funeral. He could almost imagine how how dark the day was when all of the Kaiju gathered on this very island. Some of them wept. Some of them bow their heads in respect. Some were so devastated that they wanted to destroy something; to break the feeling of sadness and depression. Godzilla was one of those who bowed their heads. He was hit pretty hard by the news of his passing; he could even remember that pain. That pain would not stop him from continuing on, however. Haruo Nakajima had taken the role on making Godzilla a true monster. Since Destroy all Monsters, this Godzilla was the suit that the man took to portray as the King himself. It was until the completion of Godzilla vs Gigan did the man retire. Godzilla has been forever grateful of his work, and the best that he can do to honor Haruo Nakajima is to keep going.
He hears a shriek of calling from above him, and he looks up to see a massive beast at an impressive wingspan. The massive beast basking in a hue of blackish-brown, its massive wings stay spread. The wide and thick membranes of the wings stretch out to the giant Pteranadon's legs. In a way that would break physics, the wings staying still is enough to help the Kaiju speed over the trees at supersonic speeds. Spiked, armored plates ornate the Kaiju's torso down to its stomach. And as Godzilla sees with his binocular vision, even the Kaiju's supersonic speed could not hide the birdlike features of his face. A short but sharp beak, brows as profound as Godzilla's and a pair of horns on the back of his skull. Godzilla knew this Kaiju very well. Keeping to the sky, Rodan circles the perimeter around the island to watch for incoming Kaiju. Seeing that Godzilla has come to the island, he gives off an echoing call to any possible others that have also come to visit.
Making a fusion of a growl and a sigh, Godzilla ventures into the deep green of the grown jungle. In truth, Rodan had been effected by the passing as much as Godzilla was. Shortly after the First Godzilla himself was portrayed, Rodan was the second Kaiju to be brought to life. Rodan was meant to be a great and terrible behemoth of the sky, and the man that portrayed him really showed it. For every flap of his wings and by every landing Rodan had taken on the roofs of the buildings, he was was one of the magnificent. Considering that it was the only movie that featured only Rodan, it was a great honor for the man to portray him.
Godzilla strolls down the dirt path across the outer rim of the island. Pushing aside ferns and branches of the trees around him, he could almost see the that he is in the center of the island. And as he steps out of the plantation-filled path to the center, he could see the grave of which he and a few others had constructed. The rocky wall within the side of the island's mountain was the base home for the constructed memorial. Aside from the wall, a large stone tower stands in the center of it all.
The tower, carefully-carved by the sheer strength of the few Kaiju, is a squarish pillar of marble. A kind of marble that no human tool could break easily. And along the tower sides reveals the markings used by the humans of Japan. The front side of the tower shows the markings of the name of "Haruo Nakajima". Protected by an aura given by Ultraman himself, the tower bears the hand prints of all who came to honor the man. A four-digit hand of Godzilla, a couple of human hands of Kong and Gaira, a three-clawed print of Rodan's, and even a small dot from Mothra. Below the tower, a stone staircase that is large enough for a Kaiju to walk upon. And the banners that were lost within the last year are replaced by the Kaiju that have came before Godzilla.
Here they are. The few monsters that have returned to this island to visit the grave. As Godzilla turns his gaze left and right, he almost immediately remembers them well.
One of them is Mothra, who hovers in front of the grave tower and gently drops payload of flowers. Mothra was once a small little caterpillar; well, small in Kaiju terms. She was the young web-spewing creature out to rescue her captured Shobijin. Now, she has grown to be an adult moth. Her large, beautiful yellow and red wings flap slowly to keep her in the air. Her small insect body keeps tucked with her tiny limbs, and her larger head lowers as her large blue eyes look down on the grave. Mothra gives out a low, sympathetic chirp before she hovers away, eventually landing on the ground near Godzilla.
Two others lay patiently on a ledge above the grave. One is what Godzilla knew as Varan. The dark-red dinosaur is more of a four-legged beast of a Kaiju. The beast was always a flying creature along with Rodan, but the flaps of skin on both sides of his body remain folded. The one row of long, sharp spikes run down Varan's nape and back, only to end at the end of the tail. Flower-like hosts of spikes rest on the sides of Varan's head, giving him more of an ancient profile. The other is a more majestic creature known as Black Moth. With a pair of black feathered wings attached to the back of her lion body, the giant mammal almost seems to look average compared to the rest of them. In truth, Black Moth was anything but average. She was the result of a mad man's experiments of planting a human brain and a condor's wings into her body. Her body had also grown drastically from the scientist's growth serum.
Finally, Godzilla has set his eyes on what use to be his rival monster. Sitting on the far left of the grave area, Kong silently waited for Godzilla to come. His brownish-black hair was just now completely dry from swimming all the way out here. And his bare ape feet have been aching from the fighting with other giant creatures beforehand. Despite being the monster that was not originated from Godzilla's turf country, Kong was portrayed by the man in one of the great ape's older films. To this, Kong fell surprised by how a man from another country would do this for an American creation. Although, he feels a some sort of respect for how well the man had done the King of Skull Island's profile perfectly. When the news of the man's death came, Kong felt the sense of grief that he never had felt before. Back at Faro Island, he had a different way of dealing with the grief. Suffice to say, the king was a complete drunk that night.
It was 1962 when Godzilla and Kong first fought. The outcome of the battle was controversial to this day. However, since then, Godzilla and Kong had never crossed paths until the grave of Haruo was made. At first, they felt anger towards one another. And then, there was nothing. They had decided that there can be more than one king on this planet; whether it is to be King of Kaiju or King of Skull Island. They owe it that much for the man.
Kong raises his head to look up at Godzilla, standing a few feet from him. He gives a nod to the king before grunting to him, which Godzilla replies with a nod of his own. Godzilla turns his head to look back at the stone tower of Haruo's grave. He gives a growl-like sigh, and he turns to stroll up to the stone steps before him. Mothra, Varan and Black Moth watch as the King of the Monsters step up the steps and stand before the grave stone. Only death silence fills the air when Godzilla looks down at the markings of the man's passing. He also sees the many hands of the Kaiju that were portrayed by Haruo. Godzilla's being at the very center. Closing his eyes, he lays a hand perfectly on the hand print. All that he could think of is...if he and the others had ever moved on since that day.
It is when his ears suddenly pick up a loud call from the sky. It is the call from Rodan, but it sounded to be distressed. Something has caused his most trusted friend to become troubled. Opening his eyes in a flash, he quickly turns to Rodan landing onto the ground in a startled way. Rodan cries out to Godzilla, and the king roars back, asking what is going on. He asks Rodan on what has caused him to become hysterical. Rodan takes a moment before he shakes his head and looks up at Godzilla. He caws back at Godzilla, telling him that something is wrong. Other monsters were called to come visit the grave, but when he had sight of them, something was wrong about them. One of them attacked him when he was circling from the sky. Godzilla frowns, and he roars to Kong.
Right as Kong looks up at Godzilla, a series of noises could be heard from the jungle. Godzilla turns his head to the darkness within the forest, and he could barely see a shadow. As soon, as the other monsters notice and look, one shadow looms closer to the light. Godzilla narrows his eyes when he sees a humanoid giant standing before him. A humanoid monster that was known to be an offspring of the legendary Frankenstein Monster. Dark and light greens of padded hair and sea weed dangling from his body. With curved fangs and eyes of anger, Gaira looks more of an ogre of the sea. There is something different about him; his eyes are redder than usual.
Gaira flails his arms in the air and lets out a bone-chilling cry at Godzilla, which convinces Kong to stand up and glare at him. Godzilla, though, is confused as to why Gaira is like this. Soon, more things catch his attention. More of the monsters appear from the jungle and reveal themselves to the monsters that have gathered around the grave.
A saurian Kaiju that almost looks exactly like Godzilla. Despite the charcoal-green skin of the beast, the monster has a huge reptilian frill around its neck. Bits of yellow were grown down its torso, down its similiar dorsal plates, and up the bony frames of the huge frill. The Godzilla-like Kaiju, Jirass, is in a similiar condition with Gaira. Another beast, Neronga, appears out of thin air, stepping out of his invisibility. His huge nasal horn and his claw-formed, ear-like horns pointing right at them, a battle cry escapes his wide maw. The third beast tramples through the trees with a pale, cone-shaped head at the end of a mole-like dinosaur's body. The pale-grey Kaiju raises its head up, and the cone separates like a flower blooming. The multiple plates of the cone separate to reveal the face of Gabora. The wide, tusked maw of the beast opens slightly with a growl. And yet another, which none of them have seen in ages, comes beside Gabora. The monster stands upright, his back supported by the back armor and the tail of a crayfish. The dark-colored monster usually has yellow in his goggle-like eyes, but now they are glowing red. Kiyla hisses through his human like mouth, revealing his tusks and front fangs.
These monsters, once enemies of Ultraman, all stand at Gaira's right. Four more monsters appear at the huge humanoid's left. One is a gargantuan squid; one whose main body is overgrown compared to the rest of the body. All but two of the giant cephalopod's eight tentacles act as his locomotion. Waving his front two tentacles in the air, Gezora is closely accompanied by his crustacean former rival. The giant red stone crab was once under the control of a space amoeba along with Gezora. Now, it seems apparent that he is under the control of something else. The next monster is one that may be close to being in relation with the giant squid and stone crab. A giant walrus-reptilian beast, one that had once been involved in the Gorath Incident, Maguma snarls. His pale, sharp tusks shining in the sunlight and his once green eyes now glow in red. Moving with his four, webbed-toed limbs, he appears to be ready to tear into Godzilla's throat.
Finally, the last of the monsters that stand against Godzilla and the others is a mechanical one. A bipedal robot, created by the Mysterians, is known as Moguera. With a bulky, segmented body, its chest and upper legs were made in a shiny-grey hue. The numerous horizontal indentations give it a striped appearance. The light bluish-green upper arms carry the golden spear-shaped hands. The golden head of the robot was built with a drill for a nose, a pair of antennae and a pair of glowing-yellow eyes. There is also a transparent lower jaw, only seen for any who look carefully. A large circular saw protrudes from its back; accompanied by a fat gray tail.
Seeing almost all of the monsters in one place, Godzilla does not feel that this is an innocent visit. By the glowing red in their eyes, neither of the monsters that now protect the grave suddenly feel uncertain. Why are these Kaiju here like this? And why now? Whatever is the reason, this makes the monsters, along with Godzilla, angry about this situation. But the way these monsters glare at him and the monsters beside him, he knows their intentions. Stepping forward before them, Godzilla roars as he pounds a fist against his chest. This is NOT the right time for fighting. This is not the place to cause a battle. And for once in about a year, Kong agrees with him. Pounding his fists against his muscular chest, the Eight Wonder of the World roars at the monsters to stand down or get beat down. Even Black Moth and Mothra let out their chirps and low growls, pleading the opposing monsters to not start this.
Unfortunately, their plea and their warning are left unheard. Roaring at the top of his lungs, Gaira charges at Godzilla like a mad bull. And just like that, the others that stand beside him charge at the monsters they face. Other than Moguera, who just stands and watches. Godzilla, glaring right at Gaira, roars as he charges to meet the brutal abomination head-on. In his defense, Kong charges in to fight Gezora with his bare hands. Jirass, Gabora, Neronga and Kiyla all face the might of Mothra, Rodan and Varan. Whereas Gezora, Ganimes and Maguma face Kong and Black Moth. Godzilla hoped that this day would never come, but it has. While there is nothing else that he or anyone could do to stop it, all that he and his fellow monsters can do is fight.
Gaira snarls as he grapples with Godzilla, attempting to topple the king right off his feet. Despite the sheer strength, Godzilla's own quickly matches the monster's. Godzilla digs his feet into the dirt, stopping Gaira right in his tracks. The king and the monster push against each other with all their might, trying to best the other in this test of strength. Even at the face of Godzilla himself, Gaira will be a violent beast to fight dirty. He thrusts his open mouth forward, letting his sharp fangs aim for Godzilla's throat. However, Godzilla knew about this. Leaning his head back, he takes this chance to turn in a quick and powerful rate. Using the strength in his arms, Godzilla tosses Gaira like trash into a row of trees below. More angry than hurt, Gaira rolls right to his feet and turns to Godzilla glaring at him. A moment of a stare down between them, and then Gaira runs at Godzilla with thoughts of murder.
Gezora's tentacles shoot forward like spear traps at Kong, and the great ape grunts when the two limbs trap his wrists. Kong's gaze turns to the shape of the approaching Maguma charging at him. Well, barely with his flipper feet. The slowness of the massive walrus is something Kong is sure to take advantage of. Maguma opens his maw wide to tear Kong with his tusks, but the great ape manages to lift up a leg. His palm-like foot smashes against Maguma's face, and he takes the strength in his legs to pulls Gezora to the side. While the massive walrus recovers, Kong pulls Gezora off the ground before slamming the massive squid upon Maguma. Maguma roars when the heavy weight of Gezora squishes on him, and Kong roars. Gezora is not the biggest cephalopod he has faced; just the trickiest.
A shrilled, high-pitched cry of Godzilla's erupts from Jirass's throat. Despite the similarities, Mothra already tells the difference. It is a bit of a no-brainer. Hovering above Jirass's head, the elegant goddess chirps as she tries her method of fighting. She uses her tiny, clawed hands to scratch Jirass's face, careful to not be whacked by his frill. Despite her relentless scratching, it is doing little but annoy Jirass. Snarling, Jirass flails his head back and unleashes his electric ray. Mothra chirps in alarm as she is lucky to avoid the ray at the nick of time. The ray is not like Godzilla's atomic ray, but it is just as devastating on her. She could be brought down easily if she is not careful. Finally having a moment of his space, he raises his clawed hands to brush on his forehead. However, he only had a second before Mothra's wing clashes with his face. The attack catches Jirass by surprise, and he is forced to crash back-first into the jungle.
Gabora's protective shells latch together into the cone shape, and he charges at Rodan. Hoping to ram the gargantuan pteranadon, he instead faces the clawed paws of Varan. Letting out an enraged war cry, The Unbelievable Varan bats the harden shell of a helmet, forcing a roar of alarm from Gabora. Taking flight and away from Gabora, Rodan has his quick sights on Kiyla. The yellow-eyed creature was expecting this, and he waits for Neronga to make his move. As Rodan was about to land a foot on Kylia, he feels the weight of Neronga crashing against him. As Neronga drills Rodan into the dirt, Kiyla turns to another battle. Gabora roars and backs away, trying to escape the relentless beating from Varan. Despite having holes through his protective shell, the mole-Kaiju could not see what is behind him. Going back over a ledge, he trips over his own tail and falls over. Watching the rather embarassing endeavor, Varan decides to attempt at knocking him unconscious. There is no room for killing him.
Suddenly, a flash erupts into his vision, and Varan roars in surprise. The bright flash came from the yellow eyes of Kiyla, and Varan only sees the monster right before everything went blurry. And then, all that Varan could see is darkness. Roaring at this sudden blindness, he desperately claws at anything that he assumes to be blocking his vision. To his horror, nothing is on his eyes. Left vulnerable, he feels a hard kick from Kylia, followed by a laughter coming from the creature. Kylia could almost smile at the sight of Varan rolling to his pitiful side, and he turns to see Gabora taking advantage of the blindness as well.
Black Moth hops around the slow form of Ganimes, easily dodging the narrow claws of the stone crab. She lands a swipe of her claws on the crab's carapace, but it only leaves slight scratches. Her claws scratch harmlessly against Ganimes's shell, but she wil make sure that the crab does not harm her, either. She moves quickly to avoid the crab's legs, which impale deep into the dirt. Her black wings flap, and she flies over Ganimes's head right as his back is turned. The stone crab shrieks when her front paws crash against his chitin helmet, sending him tumbling down. Ganimes is brought down under Black Moth's paws, but the lion-griffin looks up to see Moguera standing completely still. Why the robot is standing there and doing nothing is beyond her, but she did not have to wait for long.
Suddenly, the robot turns right at her, as if it was just given a command. Stomping forward at the griffin, Moguera fires a pair of blue enery beams. Fortunately for Black Moth, she is quick to dodge the blue laser bolts, allowing them to hit Ganimes's carapace. The oversized stone crab shrieks in pain as a shower of sparks consumes him, but the robot pays no heed. Lacking the emotion to feel sorry, it swiftly turns to Black Moth landing beside it. The lion-griffin snarls, and she lunges at the robot to slam her paws against its hull. Moguera turns to look down at the lion, despite it being backpedaled by her strength. However, it may have a weapon to prevent this from happening again. Black Moth glares up at the robot as she pushes the robot even further back, but she suddenly feels pain on her paws. Smoke slithering from them, she backs away with a yelp. The pain on her paws turn out to be burns, and Moguera somehow has the ability to emit a high heat from within its body. Now that this has removed the nuisance, Moguera resumes to its original command. To destroy the monsters.
Gaira snarls in his brutish anger, trying to get his clawed hands around the king's throat. The only thing that is stopping him is Godzilla's arm keep him at bay. As they both stand and grapple for superior strength, Godzilla could not find a sense to fight Gaira. Despite Gaira bashing his arm and chest, he could not even dare to fight back. Godzilla roars at Gaira; that this is not what Haruo would want. Despite Godzilla's plea, Gaira bashes his arm down, forcing his grip from him. Without Godzilla's grip, the son of Frankenstein lunges at the king. Godzilla shrieks when Gaira's sudden attack causes him to tumble back. They both crash into the dirt, and Gaira moves to throttle Godzilla to death. Godzilla, however, does not wish to go like that. He lifts a leg to kick into Gaira's stomach, driving him off. As Gaira yells when his back hits the rocks below, Godzilla rolls to his feet.
Gaira fiercely rolls to his own feet, and the Son of Frankenstein and the King of the Monsters are set into a stare down. Godzilla roars at Gaira, demanding him to stop this. They are not to fight; not on this island. Not around the grave of Haruo. As if his demand is being ignored, Gaira snarls as he charges at him. His brutal nature in a fight does him no good to Godzilla, and the king uses his rage to his advantage. Gaira swings a clawed hand to scratch him in the face, but Godzilla steps aside and grabs the swung arm. And he flips the angry monster over his shoulder. Gaira rolls to his feet again, but Godzilla is not taking any chances. His tail whacks against Gaira's face, forcing him to roll into trees. Turning back to him, Godzilla roars at Gaira that he is showing great dishonor to this island. Gaira was important to Haruo; he was one of the man's favorites. And this is what Gaira wants to honor him with? Senseless and brutal fighting?
Despite what Godzilla tells him, this once again goes through Gaira's head. The green monster stands up and roars at him in anger. As he realizes that Gaira is not going to listen to him, Godzilla growls. He did not want to use his weapon, but Gaira is not giving him any other choice. Even at the threat of Godzilla closing in on him, Gaira looks around and finds a rock big enough for one hand. He aggressively grabs the rock and charges at Godzilla, but he is too fueled in his rage to notice a flash from Godzilla's maw. Godzilla's atomic breath sears through the air and burns onto Gaira's arm. Gaira roars in pain when the powered heat causes a explosion on his hand, and he is forced to let go of the rock. As Gaira grips onto his smoking wrist, Godzilla fires his atomic ray once more. The blue ray of heat and radioactive energy explodes against Gaira's face, forcing him to fall back. Godzilla knew that Gaira has the same healing factor as his, maybe even better, but he does not want to kill him. He just needs him to stay down.
Kong backs away when Gezora lets out his cooling gas. The giant squid often uses this cooling gas to repel heat and to keep himself hydrated. In this case, however, it can be used as a weapon. Kong waves his hands to bat away the gas as he backs away. To him, the cooling gas is like what a fire extinguisher is to a normal man. It feels too cold for him, and it also blinds him. Two situations that the Eighth Wonder of the World does not want to be in. He soon pays the consequence when he feels Maguma's tusks pierce his leg. He roars in pain, and Maguma jerks his head back to pull the ape forward. Kong raises his fists, preparing to knock some sense into the walrus, but he looks up at a noise from Gezora. The massive squid wraps his tentacles around the great ape's arms and neck, and he thrusts its massive body to crash against him. Despite the force and the weight, Kong still stands. He punches hard against Gezora's face, forcing the squid to screech.
Neronga roars when he is being assaulted by Rodan's wings. Already irritated by Neronga's sneaky attack, Rodan beats the beast with the hard bones in his wings. As he does, trees and dirt are blown by every swing, blown by the hurricanes. And just for good measure, he thrusts his beak a few times. The first striking Neronga's nasal horn, the second creating sparks off his cheek, the third striking on his forehead. Even as Neronga roars in agony, Rodan keeps pecking at his skull with his rock-breaking beak. Spreading his wings, Rodan finally allows Neronga to escape his angered berserk. He soon finds that this is a mistake. Rodan lifts himself off the ground and prepares to drive his feet upon Neronga, but he falls surprised when the Kaiju disappears. His feet goes right through the monster, ultimately drilling them into the dirt. Frowning, Rodan stands above the wreckage as he scans around him. Around him, all that he could see is Gabora and Kylia double-teaming on Varan. He also sees Mothra pulling on Jirass's frill, but that is all that he could see. No Neronga.
He shrieks in pain when a sudden electric bolt strikes his right wing. The neon-blue stream blasts against the thick membrane as it travels to Rodan's back. Even through the punishment, Rodan still stands. One stomp of his talons, and that is all that attack got. Rodan could smirk if he has lips. He swiftly turns around, only to see nothing. Letting out a low-tone squawk, he pulls back his wings before swing them forward. Creating a powerful gust of wind, he forces the dirt and debris flying. His eyes catch a quick glimpse of movement. A faint but large movement among the cloud of dirt, moving to his left. There you are. His eyes widen when a sudden triangle of energy shines out of thin air, and he moves quick. As he takes off, he looks back at the electric ray exploding against the ground. Now he knows Neronga's game; he has the ability to turn invisible and take cheap shots. Handy, but not good enough. Swiftly turning around, he soars down to the potential area of Neronga, and his super-sonic speed forces debris to fly.
As he passes, he catches a glimpse of faint movement once more. Taking a spin back, he dives down to where he had seen the movement. A flashing glow was set off in the thin air, but Rodan has moved too quickly. Got you now. As his beak faces the shining flash, he pulls his legs forward and his wings back. His feet crashes into what feels like a heavy beast, and out of thin air appears Neronga. As Rodan's talon feet crushes into his chest, Neronga shrieks before he crashes into the dirt. Rodan's mighty wings blow dirt to all directions around them, and he takes off into the air. Only this time, his talons clench onto the stomach of Neronga's. Neronga roars in distress as he tries to blast him, but due to the continued use and his invisibility, it took way too much energy. In his showcase of strength, one that has taken Godzilla's weight, Rodan lifts Neronga higher above the trees. And he knows just where to put him.
Mothra chirps at the electric ray searing past her, which makes Jirass shriek in frustration. He roars at the giant moth to just stand still. He charges after Mothra as he thrashes his claws at her, but Mothra is quick to move. Jirass charges head-first into the trees, but Mothra grabs the frill with her many tiny hands. With a pull, she forces Jirass to trip back over a rock. Mothra swiftly turns to Jirass thrashing around on the ground, and she can not help but find this amusing. Just as Mothra chirps in amusement, she chirps in shock to see the body of Neronga dropped onto Jirass. She looks up to see Rodan's massive form loom over the now stunned forms of their opponents. She gives a few chirps of thanks to the Terror of the Sky, but their job is not finished, yet.
Varan roars in agony. His shoulder now has smoke slithering from Gabora's Uranium Ray. He could not even be able to see it coming. Because of Kylia's eye flashes and Gabora's ruthless attacks, the Unbelievable Varan is in a critical disadvantage. He soon feels Gabroa's enclosed helmet smash against his side, and he is forced to roll to his back. Now vulnerable, Varan has to vend against the jaws of Gabora. Letting out a chattering of laughter, Kylia advances to share the fun of beating Varan to a pulp.
Suddenly, a loud roar rings out of the jungle, and a huge shape rushes out to crash against Kylia. Yet another Kaiju that seems similar to Godzilla, but his biology is far different from Jirass. The dead difference is the lack of dorsal fins; only one row of spikes and some kind of flat turtle shell. A pair of sharp tusks protrude from the Kaiju's maw and a long spike from the top of his head. The Kaiju Gomess pounds Kylia back with his three-clawed fists, forcing a cry of distress from the yellow-eyed beast. As Kylia staggers back by the pain, Gomess turns back to Gabora thrashing on Varan. The monster lets out his low-boomed war cry as he charges. Much to Gabora's shock, Gomess grabs his tail and pulls him away from Varan.
Even when he feels that the heavy weight of Gabora is suddenly lifted, Varan still could not see anything. For what ever reason, he is no longer struggling. His only clue is a roar that he is familiar with. For about a minute, his vision returns, and he turns to see what could be his savior. His hands tugged on Gabora's tail, Gomess pulls the monster off the ground. With the strength he can muster, he tugs Gabora over his shoulder and slams him onto the ground. Gomess glares down at the riving monster, finding it apparent that the red eyes symbolize that he is being controlled. In an act of desperation, Gabora turns around and fires his Uranium Ray. Gomess roars as he raises an arm, blocking the ray and the explosion it causes.
Kylia screeches as he rises to his feet, and he sets his eyes on Gomess and the recovering Varan. Stomping forward, he decides to blind them all with one single flash. As he spreads his arms and unleashes his flash, a massive wing swoops down in front of him. Kylia shrieks in surprise to see that it is the wing of Mothra. Mothra, grateful that she has blocked the flash, takes a swift turn and swipes her wing against Kylia's face. The blow only makes Kylia turn his head, but another blow forces him to collapse. Behind him, Rodan has slammed his chest against the back of his head, knocking him down. For the moment, Kylia and Gabora are out of the fight.
Kong grits his teeth at the searing pain in his leg. The sharp tusks in Maguma's maw is sure to cripple him if he does not do something. If only he could. As much as he musters his godly strength, he could not shake off the strong limbs of Gezora. Now, he is in a bad spot. Between Maguma thrashing in his leg and Gezora on top of him, both are bound to devour him alive. However, faith comes to save his life. A red heat ray erupts out of the shadows and burns against Gezora. The massive squid screeches when an explosion erupts between his eyes, and he scurries away from Kong. Pulling his tusks from Kong's wounded leg, Maguma looks at the thing responsible. What he sees is the head and upper body of Baragon, who sprouts out his large ears. His curved horn flashes yellow before the subterranean dinosaur fires his heat ray again. The ray strikes against the massive walrus's face, and the beast cries out in pain. He pats his flipper claws on his smoking face, allowing Kong to kick him away.
Pushing himself off the ground, the Eighth Wonder of the World looks back at Baragon. The red beast pulls himself out from the underground and into the fresh, cool air. He almost felt guilty for him and Gomess to be late. Now that he has seen the chaos, being late is not even the issue anymore. He and Kong turn to one another, and they share a nod. Turning back to the mind-controlled sea creatures, Kong and Baragon roar their battle cries. Kong's leg may be injured, but there is nothing he can not fix with his own two hands. As Kong grapples with Maguma, Baragon fires his heat ray at Gezora. Gezora lets out a stream of his cooling gas to retaliate, but the high temperature of Baragon's weapon proves too much. Gezora shrieks when the heat ray cooks his raised tentacles, backing away in cowardice. Maguma thrashes forward, snapping his maw at Kong, but the great ape grabs onto his tusks. Maguma bats at Kong with his webbed hands, but Kong is already ready to send him flying. As his muscles clench, the mighty King of Skull Island lifts Maguma off the ground . The massive walrus roars in shock when he is lifted high, forced to be spun by Kong. Gezora acts in retaliation as he thrusts his tentacles to trap Baragon, but he did not expect Baragon to pounce at him. The giant squid shrieks when Baragon's skull crashes against his body. And the next thing he knew, another heavy form crashes against him. Both Gezora and Maguma collapse by the force of Kong's impressive throw. Baragon and Kong stand by each other, and the mighty Kong brushes his hands.
That is taken care of.
Smoke slithers from Gaira's green hair and seaweed, and the animistic beast beats the small flames away. Godzilla lets out smoke out of the corners of his maw. He is done fighting with this stubborn berserker! This beast has tried his very best to kill him, and all he wanted was for him to stop. He looks up when he hears a roar of pain, and he sees Black Moth limping from Moguera. The massive robot had managed to dislodge her with a rev of its back buzzsaw. The blade has cut into one of her hind legs, but the hybrid lion could still fly around the machine. Godzilla knows that she would need his help, but he needs to get Gaira out of his way. Suddenly, he shrieks when Gaira throws a handful of dirt at his eyes. Godzilla raises his hands and tries to brush the dirt off, and he fires an atomic breath at Gaira. Unfortunately, Gaira sees this coming and moves to his right. The atomic breath burns onto the vegetation behind him, and the plants are set on fire. Glaring right at Godzilla, Gaira charges to attack the blind king.
However, a fist of Kong's crashes against Gaira's jaw. The force was strong enough to force Gaira into rolling to his back. Godzilla shakes his head vigorously as his eyes fill with tears, and the water easily soaks away the dirt. As his vision returns, he opens his eyes to look up at Kong standing in Gaira's way. And at his side, Baragon snarls at the beast-man. The red dinosaur's paws bat on the ground. The King of Skull Island and the Son of Frankenstein glare at one another, and they circle. Both humanoid monsters with utmost strength and berserker rage, but Kong has more sense than Gaira. Gaira reveals his sharp fangs as he roars, charging at the ape. Kong, predicting this, steps aside and slams a fist against Gaira's back.
As the fight between Kong and Gaira occurs, Godzilla turns and charges to aid Black Moth. Growling, Black Moth feels the excruciating pain in her leg. Despite her will to not give up, she could not even lay a paw on Moguera's heat-emiting hull. And when she tried to bite into its back joints, she paid for it with a grisly wound. She looks up at see Moguera advancing towards her, with its yellow eyes blinking blue. It is preparing to fire its plasma bolts. Black Moth would be put to an end if Godzilla did not shoulder slam against it. The great force causes Moguera to stumble to its left, barely saving itself from falling. It slowly turns to Godzilla, and it decides to fire its blue plasma bolts at him. The explosive bolts barrage against him, but Godzilla has faced worse. Enduring the energized blows, he charges to fight the massive robot. Moguera is rather too slow to react to Godzilla's quick approach. It is left vulnerable to Godzilla's fast-paced punches; his fists pound against the robot's armor. Moguera backpedals by the ferocity of Godzilla's punches, but it has figured out a method of this.
It thrusts forward as it revs up its drill nose. The robot tries to drill into Godzilla's head, but the king quickly holds it back. He slams his fist against Moguera, bashing at his best to disorienate the robot. Godzilla grapples with Moguera, trying to keep the drill from piercing into his skull. Right at this time, Godzilla feels a sudden lift of weight. He watches as Black Moth pounces, pressing her full weight against Moguera. Moguera backpedals by the griffin-lion's combined weight and stength, but Godzilla is quick to add to it. With a flash of his dorsal fins, the king fires his atomic breath. The azure-blue ray of heat and power burns against Moguera's face, and it causes an explosion that blinds it. Sparks and smoke erupt out of its left eye. Godzilla watches Moguera backpedal further back, into the darkness of the jungle. Suddenly, the robot shuts off, lowering its head down. Black Moth roars as she prepares to smash the robot down, but Godzilla gestures her to stop. As far as Godzilla is concerned, Moguera is not a threat to them, anymore.
Fire consumes the plantation, creating a sea of flames surrounding the trees. The waves of the flaming sea have been abrupt by the massive shapes of Kong and Gaira. The two titans thrust their arms forward, locking them in a grapple above the scourching flames. The Eighth Wonder of the World and the Son o Frankenstein seem to be equally matched in their contest of strength. With a vicious snarl, Gaira thrusts his teeth forward. His fangs pierce into Kong's shoulder, which forces the great ape to yell by the sharp pain. Blood leaking down Gaira's chin, he could almost savor the taste. Gritting his teeth, Kong swings a mighty uppercut against Gaira's jaw, forcing him away. Letting the pain fuel his rage, Gaira charges back at Kong. He pulls back a fist before he swings it hard, but Kong is quick to roll under his arm. Rolling back to his feet, Kong swiftly turns to punch Gaira in the back. The hard strike forces Gaira to stagger forward, and he sees too late that Baragon was in front of him.
The next thing he feels is Baragon pouncing at him, sending his front paws to crash against him. Gaira roars in frustration, cursing at Baragon for doing that. His rage, of course, clouded his attention to his environment. Behind him, Kong stomps towards him and wraps his arms around his waist. Gaira shrieks, feeling the mighty arms of Kong crushing into his midsection. He swings his elbows back, striing hard against Kong's head, but the great ape is not detirred. With a heavenly bellow, Kong lifts Gaira high into the air in a form of a suplex. Throwing Gaira over him, he causes Gaira's skull to crash into an earth-shaking thud.
Rolling to his feet, Kong falls to one knee. The wound has been making his fighting a lot harder, but he could manage. Looking up, the great ape watches the motionless Gaira lie on the ground. The Son of Frankenstein has paid the price for picking a fight with the King of Skull Island. Now, he lays unconcious, battered and bruised. His wounds heal, but hopefully he will not awake soon. No roar of victory would come from Kong; only a look of disgust. Such strength coming from a mad beast who rarely proves its worth. He looks back at the massive shapes of Mothra and Rodan. Both of the winged titans flap their wings furiously, blowing hurricanes against the raging fires.
As the wings blow until the fires were no more, Godzilla strolls through the smoke. He scans what was left of the chaos. Black Moth panting in her exhaustion; the wound in her leg bleeding profusely. Mothra laying tiredly on the ground beside Rodan. Kong glaring down at the fallen Gaira. The unconcious bodies of the Kaiju that tried to destroy them. The smoke and small flames of the plantation that once made this place beautiful. This infuriates him beyond reason, but he must now let that fury go. It does not matter anymore. The monsters that had dishonored this grave have been put down; especially the monster that he thought would understand. Though, having them all come and attack them in a time like this. Moguera would not do so unless it was controlled. Which brings Godzilla the question of this bout: if they were controlled...then who would do this?
In the confusion and the peace of the dying battle, Godzilla hears a faint laughter. It sounded like a low, slow laugh coming from a distance. As the laughter grows louder, the other Kaiju begin to hears this as well. Rodan, Baragon and Varan look up and around, searching for the source. Godzilla and Kong prepare themselves for another violent nuisance. They turn to the mountainside above the grave of Haruo, and Godzilla knows that the sound is coming from there. Perhaps it will be the time for them to find out.
The laughter continues as a humanoid giant appears out of thin air. The gargantuan alien seems to be a two-legged cicada. And a thin one, at that. The human-like legs are hued in many brown-hued colors. The metallic plates around the alien's waist and hanging behind him seem to act as an couter. The alien's face must be the most grotesque of all of its body. Bulbous sprouts come from the neck of the alien. A long, needle-like beak of a Cicada lays from what would appear to be the alien's large mouth. A "V"-shaped crest on top of its head and a pair of yellow round eyes give Godzilla a clue on who it is. As well as the pair of huge pincers that the alien raises. The alien standing above the grave shrine is Baltan.
He laughs as he sees the violent destruction that he has made the monsters do. He had set a controlling hold on as much of the Kaiju from this island as he could, bending them to his will. Some, like Moguera, took little effort due to them being in control before. Some, like Gaira, were pretty stubborn against his control. Admirable, but futile. He has sent these monsters here to kill Godzilla and destroy this petty island. Seeing that this was the day that all of these monsters would gather, it was the perfect opportunity. At least, that is what it seemed. Now, it appears that not even violent and blood-thirsty beasts could kill Godzilla and the rest of these emotional gargantuans. And now, he stands before a group of angry monsters. Clearly, this was not the right time for him to attack, but he has one more trick up his sleeve.
Glaring up at Baltan, Godzilla roars at the alien that dares to stand over this shrine. He has seen many aliens try many different plans involving many monsters to destroy him and his allies. Many have been close to succeeding in killing him, that they often trip over the finish line. Many have caused great harm to his allies and even turned them against him. This, however, is unforgivable! Baltan has dared to use the monsters they have fought in a shameless attack on not just him but the grave island itself! Kong clenches his fists and roars angrily at Baltan, feeling the mutual fury. One way or another, the mighty ape will get his hands on him. And then, he will rip his head from his shoulders for this! And despite their calm manner and resolving things amicably, even Mothra and Rodan feel the same. Godzilla's dorsal fins flash, and he grits his teeth as he prepares to blast Baltan.
Before he does so, they all watch as Baltan disappears. The alien that violated the honored shrine decided to vanish from the angry monsters, but something takes his place. A series of laughter sound off all around them, but this laughter was more a shrilled, seemingly endless series of cackles. In their dread, Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra know this cackling all too well. Baragon and Varan slowly back away form the heavy-hitters, feeling a sudden anxiety. Kong, Gomess and Black Moth, though, feel confused. Unlike the other monsters, they have never heard this demonic cackling that now mock them. It is making them rather annoyed.
And just as Godzilla feared, the sky above them has suddenly been lit on fire. The clear blue sky of day has been turned to red for a split second, before the fire takes shape. A massive body, with two huge wings and three thin ends. The fire vanishes from the massive beast, which is revealed to be Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Kaiju! Golden scales make the sunlight reflect from the dragon's body, giving a beautiful shine. Huge, mighty wings flap slowly; despite how the planet-destroyer is a master of gravity. The air is kicked by his thick legs, and whipped by the two tails tipped with stylish hairs. Finally, the three serpent heads moving constantly in different directions. The dragonic heads of Ghidorah continue to let out their vile cackles. Even defeated by the monsters below him many times, Ghidorah is still forced to attack by the influence of alien races. Some has reasonable motives, while others are plain annoying. Below him are the monsters that he so dearly lothe; the first three Kaiju that have defeated the Planet Destroyer. And then, there are a few monsters that he has never seen before, but those that he is eager to try. Hopefully, they will break him from this control once again.
Without any hesitation, the dreaded monster unleashes his Gravity Bolts. The yellow rays of alien power rain down upon the monsters. Godzilla roars when one bolt grazes over his shoulder, causing a trench to be carved. Another bolt strikes Kong's chest, which he roars in pain. Normally, he would absorb electricity to gain power, but these Gravity Bolts are far from natural or man-made voltage. Mothra barely avoids the third, which grazes against Rodan's wing. The mutated pteranadon shrieks as he takes off, avoid more of the raining Gravity Bolts. Above the trees, Ghidorah swoops down as he continues his assault. The Gravity Bolts coming from his vile maws cut down trees and plantation, and they strike on the trio of Baragon, Varan and Gomess. His thick legs kick up, allow his feet to ram against Gomess. The kick sends Gomess tumbling over Baragon, who roars by the weight forcefully placed on him.
In the sky, Rodan takes a valiant move and takes a swift turn around. As he shoots like a jet, he crashes right against Ghidorah. Their bodies collide above the sacred place, and Rodan gives no hesitation to peck against the middle head of Ghidorah. Ghidorah's left and right heads swing wildly against Rodan, firing his Gravity Beams upon him. Smoke and pelted skin fall off Rodan, but he glares at the hydra. He kicks up his legs, plants his feet on Ghidorah's gut, and uses his wings to push them apart. The force pushes the hydra only by the slightest, but Rodan was only the first to attack. Taking the flight, Varan and Black Moth begin the charge. Ghidorah shrieks when Varan lands onto his back, clawing onto his scales. Black Moth swoops down to viciously maul at the left head of the dragon. She bats her paws at the head, but the maw opens to let out a Gravity Beam. Black Moth roars in agony when the Gravity Bolt carves into her left wing and wounded leg. The agony forces Black Moth to drop onto the ground with a cracking thud.
Seeing the fallen lion, Godzilla grits his teeth. He roars up at the space monster before he charges. He and Gomess charge into the fray, aiming for the kicking legs of Ghidorah. As Ghidorah thrashes his heads and trying to shake off Varan, Godzilla and Gomess grab the legs of the hydra. One of Ghidorah's head look down to see the source of a sudden gain of weight. He fires a Gravity Beam, striking on Gomess down his back. Gomess roars in agony, but he keeps pulling with Godzilla. Infuriated by his ally hurt, Godzilla fires an atomic breath on the head of the dragon. And as smoke slither off the right head, they finally succeed in pulling him down to the ground.
Once Ghidorah's feet touch the dirt, the heavy hitters of the monsters charge into battle. Godzilla and Gomess swings their clawed fists, battering the chest of the mighty Planet-Destroyer. To this, though, Ghidorah feels little but a pinch. The golden hydra gives a heavy flap of his wings, creating a powerful hurricane against the two assaulting dinosaurs. The powerful gust of wind forces Godzilla and Gomess back, sending them rolling to the ground. Godzilla was familiar of this power, but he and Gomess were not the only strong ones. Charging at Ghidorah on all fours, Baragon lowers his horn. And from a distance, Kong lifts a large boulder over his head. As Baragon rams against Ghidorah's leg, Kong roars as he throws the massive stone at the hydra. The middle head catches a glimpse of the boulder, and he fires a Gravity Beam to carve it in two. The two halves of the stone crumble at Ghidorah's feet, but he was not done. Lowering his left head, he fires another salvo of Gravity Beams upon Baragon. Baragon shrieks when the Gravity Beams cut into his hide, and he is forced to limp away.
Kong lowers his shoulders with an irritated growl. There really are a lot of monsters that have an answer for boulders nowadays. He clenches his fists, and he decides that it would now be best to take him down. With his own bare hands. Right as he charges in, however, Ghidorah already has his sights on him. With his sickening cackle, he barrages the King of Skull Island with Gravity Bolts. Kong instantly regrets his decision the moment the botls start cutting into his skin, pelting him of his hair. To make matters worse, the Gravity Bolts cut into the dirt, forcing it to blind him with a thick fog.
Fortunately, before Kong could be cut into ribbons, Mothra swoops down to save him. Coming from behind the golden monster, she grabs onto the neck of the middle head. Flapping her wings violently, she pulls the middle neck upward. She is quickly put into a stop when the muscles in the middle neck clench. Cackling in her feeble defiance, Ghidorah lifts up his right head. As his left head spews Gravity Bolts at Godzilla and Gomess, his right head shoots out at Mothra. Mothra screeches when the jaws of the head latches onto her side, and this may be the right time to use her secret weapon. Despite the sharp teeth piercing her soft exoskeleton, she flaps her wings vigorously. Suddenly, Ghidorah sees a cloud of a golden haze. Mothra is powdering him with her poison! This, he knows only little about, but he knows exactly how to counter this. With Godzilla and Gomess charging right at him, the golden space monster grins with his two maws. Making heavy flaps of his mighty wings, he creates powerful winds to push the yellow poison right at the two defiant beasts. Mothra chirps in alarm when she sees the powder fog upon Godzilla and Gomess, and the two saurian titans roar when the poison begins to irritate them. She feels instant regret that her poison powder did little but make the battle more to Ghidorah's favor.
Her regret made her vulnerable. For when she thought she would be safe, the left head of Ghidorah shoot up at her. As the right head still clamps on her side, the left head clamps down hard on her wing. Mothra chirps in pain, but biting on her was not Ghidorah's plan. With the strength within the necks of the monster, a simple pull forces Mothra's small claws to let go. To Mothra's dismay, Ghidorah had planned to smash her body onto the earth. And as he did, the Divine Moth chrips in agony when she feels her body crack. The moth lays helpless, and Ghidorah stomps forward to rid himself of this annoying bug for good. He would put an end to the young defender's life, but he cackles in rage when Rodan's body crashes against him. Rodan had swooped down to stop Ghidorah from killing Mothra, but he soon realizes that this admirable action would cost him. In his all out rage, Ghidorah strikes Rodan relentlessly with his Gravity Bolts, slicing across his back and wings. Rodan shrieks in agony, but he still stands. He simply backs away, allowing Godzilla to charge head-first against the hydra. Ghidorah cackles when the King of the Monsters slams against him, grabbing onto his left head with an enraged roar.
At the end of this day, Ghidorah will not bring Godzilla down on this grave!
His back and sides smoking from Ghidorah's attacks, Baragon weakly limps away. Ghidorah has become stronger than he remembered. At this rate, Godzilla will be the only one to stand in Ghidorah's path. And the King will be the last to fall. If Baragon does not do something, he and others with him will be ripped to bits. He looks up when he hears a startling groan, and he watches in horror when Jirass begins to stir from his unconciousness. His frill moving in the slightest steps, Jirass shakes his head. That sudden drop from Neronga gave him a massive headache, but suddenly he feels that something had lifted. He looks down at Baragon, seeing that the red beast is getting into a defensive stance. Baragon, though, notices that Jirass no longer has redness in his eyes. They have returned to normal.
Jirass gives the small Kaiju a confused bark, and he raises his head to look around. He does not even remember what happened beforehand. Looking around, he soon finds his surroundings familiar. This...this is the island where they built the shrine for Haruo. The man that had portrayed every Kaiju that were there. What was he doing here? He hears a loud cackling and a familiar roar of Godzilla, and he quickly turns. To his horror, Ghidorah has come to the island and attack Haruo's grave! Slapping his hands on his head, Jirass lets out a roar of alarm. How could this happen!? He looks down at the injured and exhausted Neronga, and he turns back to the battle at hand. Clenching his clawed fists, he runs past Baragon and charges into the fray. He guesses that it is up to him, now!
Meanwhile, on the side of the mountain, Baltan watches as Ghidorah terrorizes the feeble Kaiju. The three-headed beast has easily brought down half of the monsters that defied him, even Mothra. He takes pride in taking control of such a powerful beast. He can see why other alien races put all of their efforts in doing so. He should never have tried to take on Ultraman alone all these wasted years. Or use these monsters to take down Godzilla and those that now defy Alien Baltan. It will not matter if the monsters fighting Ghidorah had already been injured from the previous battle. It will matter little at all.
Suddenly, he hears something behind him. As if someone is making steps over the mountainside. He turns to the source, and he falls in shock to see that the thing stepping to him is a robot. A rather bulky robot; this Baltan could tell. Golden-bronze armor have been built at the arms, legs and neck. Most of the mechanical body is metallic-silver. The robot has a bucket-shaped head, with a rather large visor for eyes. It has a black symbol of three small squares, two straight lines and a strange "J". One of its "hands" is more of a ball-point tip, while the other is a kind of the barrel and scope of a futuristic blaster. Alien Baltan did not expect to see an Utom out here from the underground. Being the ancient robots that they were, he would expect that they were hidden to their doom.
He turns to another series of footsteps. This one...this one gives Baltan a sense of dread the moment he laid eyes on it. Unlike the robot, this figure is anything but high-tech or ancient. Theorized to be influenced by the radioactive testing, this humanoid figure is more of a deformed human with overgrown fungi. What Baltan would expect to see a head is more of a giant mushroom that seems to have grown out of the body. Multiple spores emanate from it, which gives a creepy vibe to the Cicada alien. The creature slumps towards him with its brown legs and raising its bulbous arms. Armed with claws, this Matango humanoid seems to be after Alien Baltan. Come to think of it...both of them seem to be.
Before Baltan could react, he is struck in the side by Utom's blaster. The laser bolt pierced into his skin, forcing him to cry out. The sudden injury causes him to drop to one knee. Smoke slithers from the barrel of Utom's blaster as it lowers it. For what the alien has done, the ancient robot is in no mood for villainous monologues and cowardly pleas. Stepping back, it allows the Matango to approach the Cicada alien. Baltan turns to witness the walking hulk of fungi lumber towards him. And he feels a chill of horror when the towering terror lets out a mad, low-toned laughter. It almost sounds like his own. Terrified and desperate for his life, Baltan raises his pincer...but the Matango was already upon him.
And just like that, Baltan was silenced. And his act of villany against the monsters below has short-lived.
Stirring in his unconciousness, Gaira groans through his gritted teeth. When he opens his eyes, all he could see is smoke and burnt leaves of trees. When he sits up, he hisses in pain when he feels an aching feeling in his back. When he raises his hand to rub his skull, he realizes that his right hand was regenerated. He does not remember what had happened, but all he could tell is that...this was the island that he and other monsters were. He looks around wearingly, only to see something that has come to his horror. Many of the monsters, who had mourned for Haruo's death last year, now lie on the ground beaten. Neronga. Kylia. Gezora. Ganimes. Maguma. Gabora. Even Moguera stands motionless and smoking. The sight of the battlefield gives Gaira a feeling of grief, but that grief is soon replaced by rage. He remmebers, now. The last memory he has is one with that pincer-handed alien.
He looks up at the sounds of battle. The sight of Godzilla battling desperately against the three-headed beast, Ghidorah. He also see Kong down to his knees, trying to recover from the space monster's attacks. Despite his strength, Godzilla is pushed back by the strength in Ghidorah's three necks. The king is forced to crash back-first into the earth, right beside the shrine tower. The three-headed king cackles as he prepares to destroy the tower and send it tumbling over Godzilla. Fortunately, Jirass comes just in time to attack the vile beast. With a pull of one of Ghidorah's golden wings, Jirass has caught his attention. Clenching his fists, Gaira glares at Ghidorah with malice. He hears sudden noises, realizes that he is not the only one. From behind, Moguera begins to warm up when it awakes. Its temporary shut down was needed to rid of an alien's control. Thanks to its battle with Godzilla and Black Moth, it was occupied enough to succeed. Its yellow eyes lit up, looking out at Ghidorah with a new purpose. At Gaira's right and left, he hears Kaiju slowly waking up one by one. Gabora, Kylia and Gezora arise and soon realize where they are as well. Despite their injuries, they have now discovered that they have an enemy. Neronga and Maguma, however, are too injured and have a lack of energy to fight. If he has this low of energy, Neronga could suspect that he was forced to. Gaira, Gabora, Kylia and Gezora share their gazes. And they give no other hesitation to charge into battle. Such disrespect will not go unpunished...
Ghidorah has gone more irritated than what he gives credit. Every time he has come so close in killing Godzilla or Mothra, he is always stopped by another monster. Now, he is stopped by an abomination that looks like Godzilla!? Cackling in annoyance, Ghidorah unleashes his Gravity Bolts upon Jirass. No more games. Jirass cries out when the bolts cut into his hide, but he still tries to fight the tyrant. Even as one manages to make a cut into his frill, he charges in to grab onto one of Ghidorah's necks. Before he could do anything, Ghidorah's other two sets of jaws grab onto his frill. He cires out when the hydra gives it a mighty tug...and it did not take much stength.
Jirass desperately pulls away to avoid the Gravity Bolts coming from the monster's right head. Unfortunately, he falls in horror to see his frill in the jaws of Ghidorah. Blood trickle from the open wound around his neck, but that pain is drowned out by Jirass's shock and terror. Only one giant rips off his frill and gets away with it! Ghidorah cackles in amusement as he tosses the frill aside, but he is not able to celebrate it for long. Turning to a sudden series of roars, Ghidorah finds in shock to see a whole new calvary of monsters charging at his direction. One leading them appears to be a grotesque reject of Kong and another being one of Baragon's. However, his feeling of pride did not prepare him for an onslaught of their newfound fury.
At the first draw of battle, Kylia spreads his arms. With this motion, his yellow eyes flash directly at Ghidorah. While the flash effects the vision of all three of his heads, it did little to faze his allies. It was not intended to. Blinded, Ghidorah is suddenly put into a fusion of panic and rage. Spewing out Gravity Bolts everywhere, he hopes that he would lay direct hits at his new attackers. Gaira yells when one tears into his chest and shoulder, but he continues charging at the flying snake. The injuries inflicted by the attack would heal quicker than Godzilla, anyway. Gabora closes his armor as soon as one grazes over it, protecting his face. In his utmost speed, Gabora drill his head armor right into one of Ghidorah's legs, forcing the beast to nearly collapse. Ghidorah's insane and paniced cackles were quickly drowned out by Gaira's war cry. And the sounds of his fists battering against the dragon's scales could be heard for miles. Gaira fights viciously, in a manner that Ghidorah was not use to. The Son of Frankenstein grabs onto grabs onto one neck of the monster, and he wastes no time in biting into the golden scales and the thick flesh. Opening his armor petals, Gabora lets out a stream of his Uranium Ray, blasting against Ghidorah's stomach. Ghidorah pays little bother to strike Gabora down, but he makes a wild shot at Gaira for dare sinking his teeth into him. The Gravity Bolt shoots out to slice into Gaira's stomach, forcing blood and smoke to spew from the wound. This forces Gaira to yell out in agony, and he backpedals by the shock of it.
Opening his eyes, Godzilla is blinded by the sunlight for a mere second. Shaking his head, he rolls to his feet. He looks to his left to see that his hand is laid on the shrine tower for support. It was a miracle that Ghidorah did not decide to destroy it and him with it. But why did he not? It was not like Ghidorah, the King of Terror, would have mercy on him or have honor for the gravesite. When he hears the roars of battle, he soon finds out why. He turns to the battling shapes of Ghidorah...and the monsters that he and his allies had fought! They were under the control of Alien Baltan, this the alien admitted, but now they all have returned to their former glory! It is best of the King of the Monsters to not let them waste their act of final heroism. Turning to his right, he sees Rodan rising from the land of smoke. He roars to Rodan, and his trusted friend turns to him with a nod. Time for an old-school trick of theirs.
Ghidorah cackles in glee when his vision returns to him, and he finds it even more delightful to see Gabora under his foot. The small vermin squirms under his weight, which is something that would make his death so much sweeter. That sweet taste of slaughter, however, would not come. From out of nowhere, a series of blue plasma bolts shoot out and against his chest. The plasma bolts create ballistic, powerful explosions against Ghidorah's beautiful scales, and he looks out to see the confounded robot. Stomping forward alongside Jirass, Moguera's yellow eyes flash blue before it continues its barrage. At the same time, Jirass opens his maw to unleash his Electric Ray. The streams of energy beams shoot out at Ghidorah relentlessly, and the beams explode upon contact with the vile dragon's hide. Within the smoke of the relentless strieks, Ghidorah cackles in anger. He would fire his Gravity Bolts upon the feeble machine and Godzilla-looking freak, but he is brought back when he hears a familair roar.
Ghidorah turns around to face Godzilla yet again...but his six eyes widen at the sight of something horribly familiar. In the sky, Rodan lifts Godzilla high in the air, holding him by his shoulders. Grabbing onto Rodan's legs, Godzilla roars at the three-headed demon. This is something that they had never tried in a long, long time, but they are to make it worth. Ghidorah was surprised that they would, but he decides to put a stop to it. Before he could strip Godzilla from Rodan's talons, he is suddenly restrained by the many tentacles of Gezora. The tentacles of the massive squid wrap around all three of Ghidorah's necks, holding them together. With Ghidorah's Gravity Bolts no longer aiming in front of the dragon, Godzilla and Rodan move in for the attack.
As the monster flaps his wings and tries to evade instead, Gaira, Gomess and Kong charge in to intervene. Ghidorah thought that he could evade despite Gezora's weight, but he cackles when he feels a sudden tug. Behind him, Kong roars as he tugs hard on the two tails of the beast. Below him, Gaira and Gomess grab his legs and feriously pull him down. With their combined strength, and depsite Ghidorah's best efforts, they were able to match even Godzilla's! Gaira and Gomess drag Ghidorah back down to earth, allowing the great collision to come. Godzilla and Rodan unleash their infamous battle cries before both monsters crash against Ghidorah in an thunderous bash. The force and bulk of both monsters blast Ghidorah off his feet. The next thing the three-headed tyrant knew is him, his hated enemies and his restraint rolling down the hill. As they tumble down the land side, Godzilla roars and pounds his fists against Ghidorah's chest. Rodan pecks at the middle head at any opportunity he gets. Gezora, however, squeals as he suddenly feels nausous. He does not like this plan, anymore. On the high ground, the many monster that have recovered charge down after them. Gaira, Kong and Gomess flail their arms as they roar furiously.
When they finally stop their tumbling, all four of the monsters crash into the beach of the island. Ghidorah shrieks when his back hits the thick sands, and his three heads could almost touch the seawater. Actually feeling the water, Gezora took the opportunity to flee into the waves, recovering from his nausea. Godzilla and Rodan, however, are in better shape. Rolling to his feet, Godzilla lets out a roar as he stomps forward. He looks up when he hears a battle cry from Kong, and he looks down at a boulder. Right as Ghidorah rises to his feet with furious cackles, Godzilla kicks the boulder harder than he ever could.
Seeing the boulder coming his way, Kong catches it in his hands. Throwing the boulder at Ghidorah, he takes a risky roll down the hill as Gaira and Gomess continue moving down. Too focused on Godzilla, Ghidorah did not see the massive boulder crashing against his three heads. Nor did he notice the three monsters coming down upon him. Kong's rolling body crashes on Ghidorah, forcing him to backpedal. As Ghidorah looks out at the charging monsters, he could do little but give a desperate attack of his Gravity Bolts. The yellow lightning carve out sand from the beach, and it cuts into the hides of Gomess and Gaira. Gomess roars when he is struck by the leg, and he trips over earth. Gaira, on the other hand, is struck across his arm. His affected arm is nearly sliced off, but he keeps coming. As Kong rises to his feet, he, Gaira and Godzilla charge in.
Godzilla fires his atomic breath at Ghidorah, making the vile beast scream when his middle neck explodes. The scales burn and the smoke cloud the middle head's vision. Gaira roars in his fury, grabbing onto one of the heads while Kong grabs onto another. As Rodan soars past Ghidorah, Godzilla charges in to join his allies. As he grabs onto the middle head, he gives all the strength he could muster. And all three of the powerful brutes tug and pull, lifting Ghidorah high above them. Ghidorah could not belief that these mere monsters could be as strong as Godzilla, nor that he would crash into the earth. The harsh landing causes some of his bones to break and some of his muscles to bruise. Rising to his feet, Gomess realizes the fortunately event, and he jumps onto Ghidorah with a brutish eager. Ghidorah cackles when Gomess begins to pound his fists against his chest, battering the devil to a pulp. Godzilla, Kong and Gaira move in to finish the dragon.
However, Ghidorah decides that he has had enough. He has felt that someone's control on him has been lifted, but he also felt that he would enjoy his freedom by killing these monsters. Under the circumstances, he has been proven wrong. Using his mighty wings, Ghidorah bursts out of the gathered group of assaulting beasts. Moguera, Jirass and Gabora fire their respective rays, showering Ghidorah with sparks. Being pushed fruther away, Ghidorah cackles in defeat. Unfortunately for him, some monsters do not feel to let him go so quickly. From above, Varan and Black Moth drop from the sky. With their infuriated roars, both the mutated lion and the Unbelievable Varan collide with Ghidorah's back, drilling him into the ocean. As Varan swims and Black Moth keeps herself in dry air, they allow the golden devil to erupt from the ocean. Battered, burnt and now soaking wet, Ghidorah retreats from the island. As the three-headed devil flies farther and farther into the atmosphere, the monsters down below roar at the monster their warnings. If he ever did come back, there will be hell to pay!
With the Planet-Destroyer sent off of the planet once again, Godzilla and the other monsters will now have the well-earned peace. The monsters that have once been controlled by the Alien Baltan are now freed. Godzilla is not sure where Alien Baltan is now or what they should do should they find him. As far as he is concerned, he is not worth it.
He turns to a low-toned roar coming from Gaira, and he looks down at the Son of Frankenstein. The thing that catches his attention is that Gaira does not bear the usual look of malice. He now has a look of guilt and regret. Gaira would not end up being seen with these emotions, lest he would be like his brother, but today is different. He knows that the one who forced his control would have forced him to fight Godzilla and the others. It brought dishonor to this island, but he was still aware. Gaira groans, asking Godzilla for forgiveness. He is surprised when he feels a hand on his shoulder, and he looks up at Godzilla. Godzilla gives him an assured look, with a growl-like sigh. Before he realized that Gaira was being controlled, he thought that the Son of Frankenstein was out for blood. Yet deep down, he knew that Gaira was better than what he was. Between them, there is nothing to forgive. Even when it was not his fault, he had fought with them against Ghidorah. And that is good enough redemption. Frankenstein would be proud.
The island has became the land of peaceful rest once again. As Godzilla and the others reach back to the gravesite, they have came back to see the damage that was caused. The carved trenches made by Ghidorah's Gravity Bolts. The ashes and the smoke of the destroyed plantation. The injured Kaiju that had fought in this day. However, the monsters that had been wounded in battle...are no longer wounded. It is as if they had been healed in a matter of seconds. Kylia, Maguma, Neronga, Ganimes, Baragon and Mothra have all returned to their healthy well-being. They have all gathered around the grave tower of Haruo, and Godzilla and the monsters following him have just now seen why.
What stands in front of the grave tower stands a leviathan. A monster that truly is a sight to behold; one that Godzilla did not expect to see. The beast stands on his own two feet, standing completely upright like Godzilla. The beast holds his arms folded to his sides, letting his bony hands and pearl-white claws reveal themselves. The tall, massive beast has the charcoal-black hide and the three rows of white dorsal fins of Godzilla's. Finally, the beast raises his saurian head, showing his small ears and short-snout muzzle. His black-pupil, white eyes look down at the monsters that have gathered on this sacred place. Godzilla, Gaira, Rodan, Kong and all of the other monsters approach the beast that is Gojira. Gojira, the leviathan of 1954, was the first Kaiju that was ever portrayed by Haruo Nakajima. By the oxygen destroyer, Gojira died in that year, but his legacy still lived. Because of the great man that have portrayed all of these fellow Kaiju, the Godzilla that stands before him is now carrying out that legacy. They all are. As Gojira turns back to the grave tower, he gives a sigh.
For this, he thanks the man for everything he has done for them. For them...and all who love and cherish the memories of him and all that have gathered around him.
He looks down at the place covered with the black handprints of all of the Kaiju. However, there is one place that was left without a mark. Looking down at his own clawed hand, Gojira decides that he must leave with this behind. He places his hand on the smooth stone of the tower, planting a handprint above all the others. He looks to his right when he sees Godzilla stepping at his side. The young king raises a hand, and he lays it on the tower as well. Kong, Rodan, Mothra and Moguera walk up and place their hands onto the tower. Jirass, Gomess, Kylia and Neronga next. And then Baragon and Varan. And then Gezora, Ganimes, Maguma and Black Moth. Finally, Gaira walks forward and places his hand between the two Kings of Monsters. He had felt a heavy feeling of guilt when he had dishonored the island, but this was worth fighting for in the end. His anger would not be unleashed on this tower. For this is how they will keep Haruo's legacy. Together.
So long as these monsters still exist in this world, the memory and the legacy of Haruo Nakajim will not be forgotten.
Winner: Everyone...except Ghidorah...
Good evening, Kaiju fans and fanatics all over. Today, we give this tribute to the man, the myth, the legend...who has given the childhood of many despite the younger generation. Today, we give our honors to the anniversary of Haruo Nakajima's passing. A tragic day it was last year...but the tragety has passed. The tears have been shed and the feelings of grief have been shared. Today, it is not about the battles that have occured between these monsters. It is not about us as fans of Godzilla, Ultraman and all else. It is about honoring the man that had made these monsters come to life and bring the joy of seeing these powerful and majestic beasts in our childhoods. Hell, I honor the great man for doing so much to the movie production known as Toho in general.
I will keep this brief. I will try my best to...sum up all of the thoughts that I have and not sound like a broken record to the forefront. Now, there is no secret that I would be amongst the many who had grown up loving Godzilla. In my early childhood, I never really heard of Godzilla. I would, back then, see Godzilla as just another dinosaur like what I would see in Jurassic Park or Land Before Time. In my earliest years, I had a first look of a "Godzilla". And the only reason I put on quotations is because...well...my first Godzilla movie was 1998. Embarrassing, I know, but it was my first memory of seeing a Godzilla movie. I was, perhaps, five when I first saw it. Maybe six? Anyway, I then was introduced to the one of the films in the Heisei Era. It was Godzilla vs King Ghidorah. And it was...not as great of a memory when I first saw a dinosaur being blown by battleships.
Sure, I have grown to love the Heisei Era as time goes by, but let us push that aside for now. When I was seven, and after that incident with the Godzillasaurus, my parents first show me the many films of the Showa Era. The first of the Showa films that I ever saw was Godzilla vs Monster Zero. THE movie that had started my fanhood as a G-Fan. I can almost remember that I always watched Godzilla vs Monster Zero via a VHS cassette. Yeah, I know. "What are those primitive devices you are referring to?", right? Anyway, I remembered that I was feeling joy when I was watching a monster movie for the first time. I remember when Godzilla was moving, fighting and roaring and I felt that it was a real monster. I even remember making that dance that Godzilla makes in the film...which I do not see why in my current age. I did not much care for the people scenes or the plot; I only cared for Godzilla and Rodan showing up and wrecking havoc across the city. The time when I watch as Godzilla went full fisticuffs on Ghidorah while Rodan pulls on the dragon's taills. And the way that Rodan and Godzilla did a flying double body slam on Ghidorah near the end? Are you kidding me!? It was great back then.
Throughout my childhood ever since, I have been seeing more of the films with Haruo portraying at the Big G. There was one that was 2000 and a few Heisei and Millenium movies that come in between, but the majority of them were the Showa Era films. However, I have never really seen Ghidorah The Three-Headed Monster until I was sixteen. What I am getting at, before I get off topic, is that I had so much fun back then watching that Godzilla in that very film. I was practically mimicing him; every fight move, every of his rather goofy reactions. It was all done by Haruo Nakajima. If it were not for him, none of that would have been brought to life. If it were not for him portraying as the very first Godzilla, bringing him to life, none of this would exist. Godzilla would not have been as famous as he still is. You may not think that Godzilla is as famous as Superman or Spider-Man or someone like that. But I assure you, almost EVERYONE knows who Godzilla is one way or another.
And to this, I am very thankful.
Now, I believe I have spoken enough about my childhood for now. I just would want to say a few things first before we part ways. I or any of us would not feel as much grief and mourn as his close friends and his family, but we mourn for his passing all the same. Our childhoods, many of ours, have grown our G-Fan passions by seeing his Portayal of Kaiju in action. To us, he was a great actor and an extraordinary icon for Toho. And I may not be the first to say, but the greatsest way for us to honor Haruo Nakajima is not to mourn of his passing, but to keep loving the things that he has left behind. The iconic, infamous, outstanding things that he had spent his life bringing to life for Toho AND Tsuburaya Productions. The things that we would love for the rest of our lives, and the things that would help us remember him even from his passing.
So, let me as all of you something. Which is better: to live forever or to create immortal and iconic things for all to remember through great effort?
I will leave you all to decide that. So, thank you all so much for reading. Sooner or later, my co-author will finish with Greymon vs Gomora match. Hope you guys are waiting for the legit winner of this bout. And as always, this is Mr. AtomicRose signing off.
