I'm back!
Man did this chapter take awhile for me to finish. I really didn't want to half ass it. Sorry it took so long.
Plus I got caught up with work, and playing Pokémon Sword.
Anyways... this has been long overdue.
For he has finally arrived!
The main man himself!
The KING of the monsters!
I'm talking about big G himself!
And he's brought company!
But before we get to that, I have an announcement to make. I'm starting to lean in more to the idea of making an expanded universe after Rodan Reborn. I'm thinking about calling it either 'Titans Rising' or 'Rise of the Titans.' Which one do you guys think works better?
Also, I'm thinking about giving Marco and Rodan's group a team name. So far, the only work in progress team names I have are League of Titanus, Titan Force, and Titan Defense Force.
If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them in your review. I personally like the third one, but I'll still hear some suggestions from you guys.
I've also been debating with myself about Rodan's past, and what he did before he died. I was thinking if he should feel bad about his past actions or just remain angry about what caused him to snap.
What do you guys think?
Anyways, let's get to the responses:
Gamelover41592: Thank you, it's what I was going for. Even though Megalon can hold his own, he's in a situation where he's at the mercy of a psycho, and the high commission are afraid of Gigan because he's got a bigger bag of tricks that make him much more dangerous. Between the two, while I've made both of them tech smart, Megalon is the comedic one while Gigan is more serious. But he's got his comedic moments whenever he's around his partner in crime.
ChimaTigon: Never heard of Zarkorr until I looked him up. I guess there's still a lot of giant monsters I've never heard of. I also looked up armored Gigan, and he looks kinda cool. The only thing that bothers me is the extra scythe hook on top of the othe other. For some reason it drives me nuts. Anyways, I'll look into those kaiju designs. As for Touhou project, it sounded familiar but I wasn't sure. I looked it up, and apparently it's a game series I've never heard of.
Karlos1234ify: Thank you, and yes you'll see a certain moth soon enough. Also as cool as it sounds of having her have some sort of connection to the Butterfly family, it just doesn't make much sense to me. It's a good idea, but I don't see how I'll make it work.
Azure Dragon of the East: Yep. And when there's a flock of giant ravenous reptilian bats, a certain someone is not too far behind.
OmegaDelta: Oh yeah definitely. Wait until he here's about what the High Comission has been doing behind the scenes. Also, thank you.
T-wrecks13: Yeah, I hate getting sick. But I'm fine now. Yeah the main nemesis of the half shell guardian of the universe is coming, and let's just say that they're too far behind.
Jakemations: I'll answer in order.
1. Sounds awesome.
2. Nah, I don't blame you. I tend to forget things sometimes. I'm just going to drop the theory and focus on the now. Because I'll just be mentally tripping over myself.
3. Again, sounds awesome, looking forward to it. Metal can be pretty awesome when the singer isn't screaming their throat out and is actually coherent enough to understand... just to clarify, that was a joke on the metal music screaming singer stereotype. But on a serious note, the music choices sound awesome.
4. In the words of Morty: "Ah jeez." But in the words of Courage the cowardly dog: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
I'll let you know if I have anymore questions, but right now I haven't thought of any. Also feel free to ask your own questions if you have any.
Oh! I also forgot to mention to you guys that the Rhedosaurus (aka the beast from 20,000 fathoms) and Reptilicus belong to their respective owners. Just wanted to make that clear.
Next Chapter is the Marco Jr episode, which will also be drastically different from canon, because we see Marco spending some time on earth for a bit.
Speaking of canon, some episodes will be either skipped, changed, or slightly altered. It depends on the episode. But for some of them, it'll be as close to canon as possible, but slightly different due to the titans. Again, it just depends on the episode.
Now that that's out of the way, it's time for an epic monster smack down!
I don't own anything.
...
Mewni, Butterfly castle...
It's been hours since the Rhedosaurus vs Reptilicus incident, and everyone just wanted this day to end.
But unfortunately for Moon, after hearing that titans originated from earth, and learning that Rhedosaurus was from earth, she demanded answers.
Pony Head, Janna, Tom, and Star had already left elsewhere to do their own thing, but Marco and Kelly stuck around.
Marco's reason was because he's Rodan's successor, so he would've found out eventually. Kelly's reason for sticking around is because she was just as curious to learn more about these titans.
She also wanted to ask Marco something afterwards.
Anyways, the two of them along with Queen Moon, Rodan, Anguirus, Varan, and Baragon had gathered somewhere private in the castle to discuss.
Moon rubbed her temples with her hands like she was getting a headache before spoke up, "So let me get this straight. Titans originated from earth. Is that correct?" She questioned.
"Yep. Pretty much." Said Baragon.
"How the heck is that even possible?" Asked Moon, who's having a real hard time trying to wrap her head around this.
"We're not entirely sure ourselves. We believe it has something to do with what happened millions of years ago when we were at war with an invading force from beyond the stars. We believe something occurred during the war that caused us to be separated from our brethren back on earth." Rodan Explained.
"Well what do you think it was?" Asked Moon.
Rodan rubbed his head trying to think, "I don't know, I can't remember the details. It was all a blur. All that I remember was an explosion, and a bright flash of light."
"Same here." Said Anguirus.
"Preach." Said Varan.
"Ditto." Said Baragon.
Moon placed her left hand on her forehead and sighed, "This is going to give me a migraine, I just know it." She said in an exhausted tone. "Do any of you know why these reawakenings are occurring?" The Queen asked.
"Yes, we have physical evidence that someone is doing this on purpose." Said Anguirus. "Rhedosaurus even tore off a device on the back of Reptilicus' head."
Now this shocked the Queen.
"What?! Really?!"
"Yep. Marco and Rodan have a hunch that says that Mina could be involved." Said Anguirus.
"Really? How so?" Moon questioned.
"Probably because of the altercation between her and Rodan in the monster temple." Said Marco.
"Wait, that was you?!"
"Damn right." Rodan chuckled.
"Yeah, that was him." Marco confirmed before he continued.
Marco then explained everything that they knew about these devices. From commanding the crawlers to attack monster town, and the fact that this tech is much more advanced than the tech used on robots in Saint Olga's.
"But I don't understand. If the tech is so advanced then why do you suspect it was Mina?" Moon questioned the group.
"For one thing, she hates monsters." Marco pointed out.
"Secondly, she's the one who tied up the party guests during the monster bash. Both mewman and monster, mind you." Rodan pointed out.
"And thirdly, now keep in mind that this is the most crucial point here, so bare with us here."
"She's crazy." Rodan said with a deadpanned look.
"Bingo." Marco said with a snap of his fingers.
"While those are good reasons as to why it could be Mina, but she's not exactly what one would call a tech genius. She's mainly brawn and battle strategy." Moon pointed.
"That's actually a good point." Said Marco, agreeing with the Queen.
"Maybe she has an accomplice." Kelly spoke up.
"An accomplice?" Anguirus questioned with a raised brow.
"Yeah, think about it. Queen Moon said that Mina is all brawn and battle ready, so there's no way she built these devices." Kelly explained.
Marco and the titans present were astonished by this.
That actually makes sense the more they thought about it.
"That actually makes sense." Said Marco.
"Makes much more sense then just having Mina as the main suspect." Said Anguirus.
"Hate to burst your bubbles guys, but if Mina is the one pulling the strings, then who's the accomplice?" Asked Varan.
Varan made a good point as well. They had their suspect for whoever is playing puppet master, but they didn't have a whole lot of options for possible suspects.
"Varan's got a point. Mina is suspect number one for being the puppet master, but we have nothing to go by for an accomplice other than the fact that they're obviously a tech genius." Said Baragon.
"And the only two people that we of that are tech geniuses are pretty much MIA." Said Rodan.
"What guys?" Asked Marco.
...
Mina and Megalon...
"I'm done! I'm fucking done! I can't take this shit anymore! I always thought you were crazy, but this is batshit insane!" Megalon exclaimed in frustration.
"Oh shut up, bug eyes. I haven't even started yet!" Mina retorted.
"You already started several days ago when you dragged me into this against my will, you sick minded bitch!"
"Blah blah blah, don't care." Said Mina, brushing off Megalon's insult.
Mina turned attention at the screen, which displayed live night vision video footage from one of Megalon's camera drones.
Earlier she opened a portal and sent a drone through, equipped with speakers, and is now in a cave with no light.
The cave however, wasn't exactly what you would call deserted.
The screen displayed multiple forms of bat-like creatures with their wings folded around themselves, hiding the creatures features.
(A/N: Pfft, creatures features. Ha! Funny.)
Mina scrolled through a list of alpha calls for multiple titan species on the device.
"Oh by the way, I've been meaning to ask you this. What do you call this acoustic device thingy?"
Megalon sighed loudly with annoyance, "The Alpha Box. Why?"
"Just wondering what the audience and I should call this thing."
This confused the humanoid beetle titan, "Wait, what?"
"Oh nothing." Mina said dismissively.
She stopped scrolling once she found the alpha call she was looking for.
"Ah! There you are. Let's give you a little test drive before we get to the real thing."
She typed in a command, and then returned her attention to the screen.
The speakers on the drone blared to life with a high pitched echo of some kind.
The creatures in the cave stirred to life. Each of them unwrapping their wings to reveal arrow shaped heads with pointed ears. The eye shine and mouths full of sharp teeth from each creature in the darkness would shake anyone down to the core, and induce an overwhelming wave of primal fear as each creature screeched within the cave.
As each creature screeched with their wings wide open, Mina's grin slowly grew into a huge devious psychotic smile, and she began to chuckle before turning into a full blown laughing fit.
Megalon could only sit stare at the horror show before him in silence.
This has gone on for too long. He needs to get the hell out of here.
Unknown to Mina, there was reason why Megalon built the devices on the back of the crawlers and Reptilicus' heads. Besides being threatened with shocks and death, Megalon knew that without the devices, every titan would be able to hear the alpha call from the Alpha Box.
So whatever titan hates these overgrown bats, can hear both the call, and the creatures combined screeching in the cave...
'I need to get out of here.' Thought Megalon, 'Where the hell is Gigan when you need him?'
...
Gigan and the Hekapoo clones...
With the help of many, many, MANY, Hekapoo clones, the anti-titan weapon was ahead of schedule.
Not that there ever really was a schedule to begin with. The high commission never actually gave Gigan a deadline.
Speaking of Gigan, he and the Hekapoo clones had finished up the frame work, and are now halfway done with the rest of the wiring and armor.
Gigan was busy overseeing the rest of the construction of the project. While making some minor adjustments to a panel, he suddenly stopped.
He jerked his head around with an intense gaze, trying to find the source of the sound.
A sound he's heard before... and it's not something he wanted to hear again.
He growled aggressively as the familiar sound continued.
One of the Hekapoo clones took notice of this, however.
"Hey, what's up with you?" Asked the clone.
"I hear something. Something I don't like." Said the cyborg.
The clone cupped her ear, trying to hear what he's hearing. Unfortunately she was unable to hear whatever it was he was hearing.
"Hear what? I don't hear anything. Well, besides the other clones at work." She said.
"I never said it was something you could hear." Said Gigan, who looked around for second before returning to working on the panel.
The clone folded her arms across her chest, "Is this a titan thing I don't know about?" Asked the Hekapoo clone.
"What do you think?"
...
Back at the castle...
The group of titans with company flinched once they heard the same sound our favorite cyborg monster heard. Even Marco flinched at the noise.
This didn't go unnoticed by Moon or Kelly.
"What is it? Is something wrong?" Moon asked with concern.
"We hear something." Said Baragon.
"Hear what?" Asked Kelly.
"Something that sounds like a flock of giant bats." Growled Varan.
This concerned the Queen, "Pardon?"
"Uh, guys? Hate to brake it to you, but we don't hear anything." Said Kelly.
"Titans have much better hearing than you think. Whatever it is, it sounds familiar. I just can't remember where I've heard this sound before." Said Rodan.
"I think it stopped." Said Anguirus.
Whatever the noise was, it stopped. For now.
"Well if it's bats you're hearing, it is getting late. It's probably best that we turn in for the night." Said Moon.
"You sure? Didn't sound like normal bats to me." Said Marco.
"How about I keep watch just in case anything happens?" Suggested Rodan.
"I don't see why not." Said Moon.
Without a word, everyone left the room. Varan and Baragon said they were heading outside to the royal garden where Caesar was keeping an eye on Rhedosaurus. Marco, Rodan, and Anguirus headed to Marco's room.
But before they could, Kelly stopped them to ask Marco a question.
"Wait, Marco. I wanna ask you something."
"Ok, shoot."
Kelly rubbed her arm nervously, "Well I heard that there's going to be this festival in monster town, and I was wondering if... you know... if you wanted to go and hang out at the festival with me?" She asked with a blush on her face.
Marco's face also sported a blush. The two titans with him were going "ooooooooooooooo" in the background.
"Uh, sure! O-of course. I-I would love to." Said Marco.
Kelly smiled brightly at Marco's acceptance to hang out with her at the festival.
"Really? Awesome! Er-I mean, cool! Cool, see you there." She then pecked Marco on the cheek, causing him to blush even harder.
Kelly then opened a portal and left with a smile on her face. Leaving a blushing Marco, and a pair of smirking titans.
Marco stood there frozen in place. That is until Rodan snapped his ghostly claws in front of his face to snap him out of it.
"Yo, lover boy. You can fantasize making out with her later, but let's hit the hay." Said the fire demon.
"Yeah you're gonna need your strength so you can lock lips with her long enough." Said Anguirus, who turned his back towards the two, and began rubbing his arms and making kissing noises. Which got a laugh out of his ghostly flying friend, but Marco wasn't amused.
"Oh ha ha ha, very funny."
"Ah c'mon, don't be like that. You know you love us." Said Rodan, patting Marco on the back.
...
Earth, unknown location...
Somewhere deep beneath the sea lies a creature.
A prehistoric monster that defeated Muto Prime and the golden demise.
The leviathan of the seas.
The one king who rules them all.
A beast with the power to restore balance.
An apex alpha predator.
Deep within an undersea cave, a mighty titan slept after another day of keeping track of the world's awakened titans. So far, none of them have caused any problems for the humans.
Ever since his arch enemy awakened the dormant titans of the world, said titans have proven to be beneficial to planet.
While most humans view them as a nuisance, the organization specialized in studying and analyzing the titans, known as Monarch, has proven that some are benevolent. But there are some that could pose a possible threat, and are kept in check.
Especially by this titan.
Speaking of which, this titan's slumber was disturbed once he heard a familiar sound. The sound was incredibly faint to him, but it was enough to wake him. No one could hear it but a titan.
Even though he hasn't heard this sound in such a long time, he could still recognize it.
And he hated it.
His eyes shot open with a glare, and he growled aggressively.
The titan stood up to his full height, three hundred and ninety three feet tall, and full of atomic power.
He took a deep breath, and roared for all to hear.
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOONK!
Earth, different unknown location...
In another undersea cave, another alpha predator was resting. This one was different than the king. Different in appearance, not motivation. For he too has the power to restore balance.
Just like the king, this titan also has enemies.
... and he can hear them right now.
His eyes snapped opened, and he too growled. He too knows what's making those calls, and he hated it more than anyone with a passion.
He slammed his fist into the ground, and he stood up to his full height.
Then, he heard another sound above the one he hated.
He recognized this one too.
It was the king!
He's calling!
With a deep breath, he called out with a roar of his own.
...
Skull island...
On the island, a giant species of primate heard the call too.
He too heard the king, and the guardian.
He pounded his chest, and he too called out with a roar.
Hidden location, Asian jungle...
Many months ago, it hatched into its larva stage, and sometime afterwards it cocooned itself.
Once she heard the calls, she knew it was time to come out of her cocoon.
Slowly, she crawled out of her cocoon, and spread her bioluminescent wings.
She too called out to the king.
...
Japan, unknown location...
Deep within an underground cave, a creature had remained dormant while frozen in ice. Thanks to the cold temperatures of the cave, the ice remained frozen.
That is until the golden demise had awakened it.
It challenged the golden devil, but sadly it was defeated by the demon.
But the demon was then defeated by the king, and this titan was forever greatful.
Despite resembling the demise, this one had the same motives as the king and the guardian. To restore balance.
He too heard the calls and the call of the king. He too responded with a roar of his own.
In the dark cave, one would see three pairs of glowing eyes. The eyes of someone ancient and wise.
...
Volcanoe near Fiji...
Nesting within the active volcanoe lies a volcanic titan, almost an exact copy of the fire demon that we known in mewni. The only key differences are that this one is alive, and has a scar on its chest from a puncture wound caused by the previous divine moth.
However, its slumber was disturbed when it heard the call of the king.
It rose from the lava, and spread his wings with a roar of his own.
...
Back on Mewni, forest of certain death...
Somewhere deep beneath the forest of certain death, another titan slept. The spell that helped contain the beast had faded, and was merely a remnant of what it was three hundred years ago.
The ground tumbled and shook as the giant monster rose from beneath. The rocks and dirt fell away as the titan fully surfaced.
The titan was covered in brown fur, long arms with long claws like a giant ground sloth, back legs of an elephant, a ridged back, its head resembles a mammoth with long tusks covered in vines, small ears, and no trunk.
It shook whatever dirt and debris it had on it, and began to lumber off.
...
Mewni, the next day...
Marco and Anguirus woke up to find Rodan still wide awake in the morning. True to his word, Rodan kept watch for anything out of the ordinary. Or at least out of the ordinary by mewni's standards.
The ghostly titan stayed awake throughout the whole night.
Anguirus yawned as he stretched before speaking to his friend, "See anything last night, fly boy?" He asked.
"Not unless you count nocturnal wildlife." Said Rodan.
"So nothing."
"Yeah. Whatever it was, it sounded so damn familiar but I can't remember! Ugh, it's so damn frustrating!" Rodan Said irritably.
"Hey man, I feel ya. It's been eating at me too. It's probably something we haven't ran into in so long." Said Anguirus, who yawned again.
"Well we know it sounded like a flock of bats. Or more accurately, it sounded like a flock of bats with a deeper pitch from a horror movie. It was more screech than chitter." Said Marco.
Marco was able to hear what the other titans heard last night because of his bond with Rodan. Now he could understand titan speak, sniff out smells from miles away, and now he could hear the bioacoustics that titans make from far away. What next?
"But let's hope nothing too eventful happens today. I got plans with Kelly today." Said Marco.
"Don't jinx it, boy." Said Rodan.
"Too late, he already did." Said Anguirus.
...
Hours later, afternoon...
Hours later, Marco called up Kelly and told her where to meet up at for the festival. Of course Rodan, Anguirus, Varan, and Baragon tagged along to do their own thing at the festival. If there was anything a titan in proto form could do at a festival.
Speaking of which, what exactly is the festival?
Judging from how poor monster town is, they weren't sure what to expect.
"So what do you think is at the festival?" Marco asked Kelly as they walked to monster town, with the titans not too far behind them. Minus Caesar, who's still keeping an eye on Rhedosaurus back at the castle.
"I honestly don't know. I just thought it would be a good time to hang out with you." Said Kelly.
"I can see that. Things have been pretty hectic ever since I met Rodan. I mean, one minute I'm chosen to be his successor, and then the next thing I know, there's titans popping up all over the place." Said Marco, "So yeah, having a day off to hang out with you sounds nice."
"Nice change of pace, isn't it?"
"Oh yeah, definitely."
Right behind them, the titans are having a little debate over a small matter.
"Come again?" Asked Rodan.
"Our group should have a name of some kind! You know, because we're now dealing with anything titan or magic related like the crawlers and that god forsaken tree stump?" Said Baragon.
"Why though?" Questioned Varan.
"Because it sounds cool! We're a ragtag team of titans defending the innocent after three hundred years of being locked up. Or in Rodan's case, you know. Uh, no offense, buddy." Said Baragon.
"None taken."
"I honestly like the sound of it. Just as long as the name sounds cool and catchy." Said Anguirus.
"Awesome! Ok ok, how about... the Olympians." Suggested Baragon.
"Hmmm, I don't know. Sounds cool, but I don't think it's catchy enough." Said Anguirus.
"How about the underdogs?"
"Too bland." Said Rodan.
"The wolverines?"
"It's cool, but I think other people already have that." Said Varan.
(A/N: Ha! References.)
"How about the cryptics?"
"Sounds like a name you would have to explain to people every time someone has never heard of it." Said Anguirus.
"Titan defense force?"
"Ok, now that is a good one." Said Rodan.
"Yeah it's catchy, it rolls off the tongue." Said Anguirus.
"I like it. But I'm open to more suggestions." Said Varan.
"Ok, let's keep that last one in mind. Hmm, how about..."
The titans continued to listen to suggestions for a team name while they walked to monster with Marco and Kelly. Speaking of monster town, it wasn't long until they reached said town. But as they entered the town, the group noticed something seemed... off.
"Uh, is it just me, or does this place seem deserted?" Questioned Marco.
"I think it is." Said Rodan.
"Wait wait wait, hold on a second." Baragon's ears perked up, "You hear that? I can." He then sniffed the air like a bloodhound, "I got a whiff of something too!"
Marco sniffed the air too, "He's right. I smell carnival food."
"Yeah, I can hear people." Said Anguirus.
"And it's coming from... that way!" Said Baragon, who did a pointer dog stance in a certain direction.
"Further in town?" Said Rodan, giving Baragon a quizzical look.
"Looks like we're going that way." Said Varan.
The group walked further into monster town. As they did so, they took note of how creepy it is without the monster citizens.
"Man this place is oddly creepy without the monsters." Said Marco.
"I agree. It's a little unnerving." Said Rodan, who was looking at the empty houses all around him as they trekked further to the center of town.
As they reached the center of town, they noticed a banner hanging in the center of town.
"You guys seeing this?" Questioned Rodan.
Hanging in the center of town is a large purple banner with bold white lettering that says, "WELCOME TITANS!"
"'Welcome Titans.'" Kelly read aloud.
"They were expecting us?" Said Anguirus.
"How's that even possible?" Marco wondered.
"Unless it's a trap." Said Rodan, narrowing his eyes.
But then, out of nowhere-
"SURPRISE!"
"AAAAAAAH!"
"AAAAAAAH!"
The group screamed as they jumped in surprise as the monster citizens came out of their hiding places.
Then Buff Frog came up to them with a friendly smile.
"Monster town welcomes you, titans!" He said with glee.
The crowd cheered and clapped for the titans of the group.
"Wait, hold on a second. Not that I'm complaining or anything, but who put this whole thing together?" Asked Rodan.
"Surprise!" Said Star as she came out of nowhere with Tom in tow.
"Sup guys." Said Tom.
"Star? Tom? How'd you do this? Also, why?" Marco asked, "Not that I'm complaining either."
"One, Magic, obviously." Said Star as she twirled her wand, "Two, the monsters wanted to welcome the titans back into modern times, so we thought a festival in monster town would be a good idea."
"We also had help from the monsters, and a little help from a new guy. He says you know him." Said Tom.
"Who?" Asked Rodan.
"Yo! Fly boy!"
He got his answer from a different yet familiar voice.
Around the corner walked out what looked like a cross between a mammoth and a giant ground sloth.
"BEHEMOTH?!" Shouted the titans.
"Wassup, boys!"
"Holy crap, dude!" Said Baragon.
"Oh my Gojira did I miss you!" Said Anguirus, who gave the titan, known as Behemoth, a manly one armed hug, "What brings you here?"
"I'm came here to collect my inheritance, what do think I'm doing here, I'm here for the festival!" Said Behemoth.
"That's it?" Questioned Varan.
"That, and I wanted to reunite with old friends." Said Behemoth, "And speaking of old friends, Rodan you crazy son of a Battra, how the heck are ya? I didn't think think you'd come back as a ghost." He said with a smile.
"To be honest I didn't think I would either. Hell, I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to see anyone. But my Gojira am I glad I still get to." Said Rodan, who smiled back at his old friend.
Behemoth's attention was then settled onto Marco and Kelly, "Who are these two?" He asked.
"The boy in the red hoodie is Marco, he's a human from earth, and the girl with green hair and glasses is Kelly, aka Marco's date to the festival." Said Rodan, smirking at the last part.
Marco and Kelly's faces were blushing beat red at Rodan's remark.
"I-it's not a date!" He defended, but then looked towards Kelly, "Not that there's anything wrong with that! I-I-I mean, I'm fine with it if you are! B-but if it's not a date I'm fine with that too! I mean it's fine either way if you're ok with it-"
Marco's nervous rambling was cut off when Kelly pecked him on the cheek, completely freezing him in place with a deep blush covering his face.
"Does that answer your question?" Kelly Said with a smile.
"Ohohohoho! Marco you animal!" Baragon laughed.
"Hey guys? Hate to break up your little get together, but don't you think we should finally get this festival started?" Asked Tom.
"You guys can catch up, Kelly and I will do our own thing." Said Marco.
"Well let's not stand around doing nothing, let's get our festival on!" Said Baragon.
With that being said, the monsters cheered as monster town's first festival began.
...
Back on earth...
The king had assembled the titans he called last night onto skull island, the home of Kong. It was one of the most isolated locations on the planet besides the dark depths of the sea.
The titans that had gathered were the island's lone giant ape, the divine moth, the one born in fire, the guardian of the universe, the three headed guardian angel, and the king himself.
They unfortunately had to wait until the enemy fully surfaces, and the divine moth knew that it wouldn't take all day until they had their chance to strike.
Soon, they would be heading into a battle with an old enemy of the guardian.
...
While Marco and Kelly did their own thing like Marco said, the titans decided it be best to get Behemoth caught up to speed with what's happened ever since they reawakened.
"So that Marco boy is your successor?" Asked the mammoth-like titan.
"Correct." Answered Rodan.
"Damn, Rodan. Things are never dull around you, are they?"
"That's a titan's life for you."
The group of titans chuckled.
"I can't believe you guys have already been through so much in a matter of days. You and Anguirus took on Skullcrawlers, then you four and Caesar fought a homicidal tree stump, witnessed the reveal of a royal conspiracy, and then unite with a Rhedosaurus from our original stomping grounds. It's insane!" Said Behemoth.
"Speaking of insane, how did you get here?" Asked Anguirus.
"I walked."
The titans laughed at the joke.
"You smartass, hahahaha!" Chuckled the spike covered titan.
"Heheh, but seriously though, I woke up after hearing something last night. Then as I wandered off to find where the sound was coming from, it stopped. So I decided to rest in the forest for a little bit because I was still a little groggy from the rude awakening. So after I woke up, it was early morning, and I decided to explore the landscape out of bordem... and I had nothing better to do, so I wanted to see what had changed in the past three hundred years. Soon it wasn't long until I came across the butterfly kingdom. But since I didn't want to get involved with the very people that imprisoned us, I steered clear from the castle. But then I came across this community populated by monsters, and when I introduced myself, they were overjoyed with having another titan ally enter their village. Heck, it even surprised me! But it wasn't long until princess Star Butterfly and Tom Lucitor arrived into town. At first I was a bit defensive and reluctant to trust her with her being around me, because she's a Butterfly, but after her boyfriend and a couple of monsters vouched for her, I gave it a shot. Then afterwards, I helped everyone set up the festival." Behemoth explained.
"Hey guys!"
The titans looked to see Star calling out to them.
"We got a karaoke machine set up! You wanna try it?" She asked.
"What's karaoke?" Asked Varan.
"Karaoke is where you sing a song of your choosing while the music of selected song plays."
"What if you don't know the words to the song?" Asked Rodan.
"The lyrics pop up on the screen of the machine while you sing them."
"Hmmm... sounds interesting. Mind if I give it a shot?" Asked Anguirus.
"Sure thing! You got the pipes for it?"
"Heck yeah I do!"
"Trust me, he does." Rodan Said with a knowing smirk, "When he roars, it's just like most powerful gust of wind."
"Well ok then, step right up, and give it a whirl!"
Anguirus made his way through a crowd of monsters as he stepped up onto the stage and was handed a microphone. It didn't take long for the crowd to grow larger, and he hadn't even picked a song yet!
He scanned through the options to see what song title sounded right. But he wouldn't know if the song itself sounded right until he picked one.
He then saw one that drew his attention. It was a song by someone name "DAgames." He didn't know who it was, or what the song was, but pressed a claw on the screen, and the song was selected.
He soon braces himself for when the song was about to begin.
In a near split second, the lyrics popped up on screen.
(Play I am the animal by DAgames.)
"Look inside my eyes
I am the animal"
After he sang the first set of lyrics, the music picked up almost immediately. It wasn't like anything he heard of before!
Within seconds of the intro music playing, he started to get into it. He tapped his foot, and soon his head bobbed a little to the beat as he began to smile.
'I think I'm going to like this.' He thought to himself.
Then the rest of the song began to play.
"This new debotury signals me to call
I'm contemplating do I waste my breath
For I have sanctuary savored for a cause
But you bite back and I hold back
Just strike and you will see
Running into obligations over complications
You're wasting my time
Filling up an aggravation
Now I can't stand by you
There's another correlation from an observation
You take away my home
A place that I had known
And flip it all around
Right now I need to breathe
My God, let me breathe!
Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
Unless you want to hear me roar
I suggest you stand back
Underestimate the size of this cannibal
I hold no bearings or chains
Your blood sweat and tears will be all that remains
I'm the animal
You can't sway from me
I'll form a colony
You can't sway from me
I'll form a colony"
...
Mina and Megalon...
"Remember when I said you were insane? I was wrong... because you're COMPLETELY PSYCHOTIC!!!" Screamed Megalon.
Zap* "GAH!"
"Sheesh, will you shut up already?! All you do is whine about how insane I am!" Said Mina.
"Well it's true, asshole." Said Megalon.
Zap* "GAH! Dammit!"
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have an army of Gyaos to unleash."
Mina opened a portal and sent a drone through. She closed the portal, and viewed the live footage once on the screen. Once again, it showed a cave full of giant bat-like creatures.
"I've been dying to do this since last night!" She stated.
Unknown to her, Megalon had been making preparations for his escape since last night... yeah, he didn't sleep at all last night.
'Gigan I could really use your help right about now.' Thought Megalon.
...
Back at the festival...
"Never gonna be the psycho you want me to be
I want you to see what I am to thee
You take the claw from the four legged creature in me
Your blood's my victory
I'm the echo in the darkest forest
I am the weakness to your pitchforks and torches
You took me way to far, I don't hold the scars
After I'm done you'll wanna put me behind the strongest stone cold bars"
...
Back with Mina...
"Aaaaaaaaaaand show time!" Said Mina, who then pressed the alpha call, waking the bat creatures once again.
...
Back with Anguirus...
"Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
Unless you want to hear me roar
I suggest you stand back
Underestimate the size of the of this cannibal
I hold no bearings or chains
Your blood sweat and tears will be all that remains
I'm the animal
Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
You can't sway from me
I'll form a colony
Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
I'll form a colony
I'm the animal!"
(A/N: I am the animal belongs to Will Ryan, aka DAgames. I found the lyrics on AZlyrics. Shout out to DAgames for making a kickass song, because I love it!)
The crowd cheered for the titan on stage. Even his titan friends were cheering and clapping for him!
"You da' man, Anguirus!" Shouted Baragon.
"I told you he's got pipes!" Rodan Said over the noise of the crowd.
...
Back on skull island...
The titans growled as the sound reached their ears once again. The divine moth chirped, saying it was time to face the enemy.
She opened a portal with her antenna, the portal leading them to another world much like their own, but different in many ways.
Soon, they would arrive.
Soon, he and the rest of the titans would make their presence known.
They were coming...
The king of the monsters is coming...
... Godzilla is coming...
...
Holy shit. Longest. Chapter. EVER!
Sheesh!
Again, I would like to apologize for taking so long in making this chapter. I really wanted to not half ass this one. But since I knew it was taking forever for you guys waiting on the next chapter, so I decided to make this a two parter.
Originally, this chapter was going to be longer, but I decided to make it a two parter because if I didn't get this one out, it was going to drive crazy, and burn me out.
Anyways, like I said earlier, I Am The Animal belongs to DAgames, and I didn't put all of the lyrics into this chapter because of fear of getting a strike or something. I'm paranoid, so cut me some slack.
Anyways, one last note, up next is part two of Is A Mystery, aka the climax where titans from both earth and mewni go up against a swarm of Gyaos. Gamera's arch enemies. Knowing how this bat monsters go out, it's going to be a little gory.
We'll also see what Marco and Kelly were up to on their little date.
It's also during this climax that Marco's secret is fully revealed. Then the chapter afterwards is Marco Jr, where we see Marco and company discovering what happened while he was gone, and having a run in with people from out of town. I won't say who, you'll just have to find out for yourselves.
Ok, until next time, happy holidays and have a happy new year!
Review if you're liking it so far.
