Charlie has been pushed to the absolute limits and now she is taking the kitten gloves off and puts on a pair of 'I'm going to fuck you up so bad even dental records won't be able to identify your corpse when I'm done with you' knuckledusters! The Princess is more than ready to tear the King to shreds with everything and anything she has!
But even with her power unleashed and her proclamation to kill him, will she be able to?
No clue but that's why we're all here to figure that out and you can be sure as the sun shines it'll be violent!

I also want to say sorry for taking so long, this chapter would have been up days ago but the site was giving me problems that prevented me from uploading it sooner.
Read on and Enjoy!
THROUGH BLOOD AND TEARS, THE FINAL PUSH AGAINST THE KING! NOW LET THE MAJOR ASSKICKING COMMENCE!
Ever heard of the saying 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'? That's basically Charlie right now…but like a thousand times worse.
In the presence of the King of the Monsters stood said extraordinary pissed off Princess giving him the scariest death stare she has ever given looking wicked as hell and ready to butcher him like a cow in a Slaughter House.
And he was rather impressed by this.
Even with this dramatic change of her looks, the feeling of her powers becoming chaotic and dangerously unstable, and the Murderous Intent that was coming off of her that was so intense and thick that you might drop dead from just coming anywhere near her, this didn't deter him in the slightest. For this is what he wanted. This is what should have happened at the beginning of their fight, Charlie coming at him with her powers unrestricted and to their fullest with the full intent to kill him. Normally, he wouldn't give his foes even the chance to think of using everything they have or reach their full potential cause he knows how much of a bitch that'll be. Usually, Godzilla would just go in, beat the ever-loving shit out of whoever is dumb enough to take him on, possibly kill them, and call it a day. What we have here is a rare exception. This wasn't about fighting some disgruntle foe that has a bone to pick with him or about survival. In fact, none of this has anything remotely to do about him.
This is all about if Charlie could answer the difficult questions he was forcing her to face and how exactly she would respond to said questions.
What he sees is a step in the right direction but this alone will not be enough. This display of power is all well and good but she'll need to do more than this showy flare of power. If she wants to 'cook his ass' and kill him as she said she will, then her words must become action and follow through her proclamation with no hesitation or holding back. Charlie must show she can indeed have both the will and power to kill him. Only then can he get what he wants.
As for the others…well they're kinda freaking the fuck out about this new version of Charlie and they don't know how to feel about it.
"What an astonishing turn of events were have here folks! Our Dear Princess, who was mere moments from her own demised looking rough around the edges, now stands a tall, powerful, deadly, graceful, and might I add beautiful Demoness. Be still my undead heart she's a looker huh fellas? And it seems like this choice bit of calico will be giving our reptile friend a good thrashing!" Alastor said making his usual 20's radio sound effect sounded excited as hell.
…Ok, is anyone honesty surprised by him having a metaphorical boner about this?
"Holy shit…is that…the Princess?" Husk asked having a bit of a hard time believing what he was seeing.
"It is…but I never seen her like this…its like I'm staring at a completely different person." Vaggie responded with a slight hint of fear in her voice.
"Wowzers, she sure is scary looking. Could this be her true form?" Niffty asked also a little cautious with this new Charlie as she was giving her the chills.
"Hard to say but damn girls rock'n that Bad Bitch look like a pro…who would of thought?" Angel asked as he sounded slightly impressed by Charlie's new look.
But at the same time Angel, along with the others, were a bit worried that her new look might mean she also has a different persona. What kind is still left undetermined but with how angry she looks and how dangerous her power is fluctuating; chances are it's a radical one to say the least. Charlie continues to stare at Godzilla with a burning hatred so intense that one could hold up a match in her line of sight and it would instantly combust…possibly turn you into ass as well. The Princess was so mad at the King that she felt she was on the verge to go completely berserk on his ass any second. She never felt this mad in her entire life. Sure, she did get a little upset with people from time to time, even pissed off, but this feeling she felt was beyond mad.
This was near pure fury.
It was so intense that she could barely think clearly, when he told her what he would do after he killed her, she was a hairline fracture away from snapping. She's so pissed that she will throw away her own morals just to grant Godzilla's wish for her to kill him. And considering the threat he just gave it wasn't a wonder why she would uncharacteristically do that. It was one thing when someone wants to hurt her but to go after all she loves and holds dear? You can bet your left ass cheek she'll do something drastic like that! But even in her rage filled state there was still some semblance of thought and knew she needed a plan that would actually work. Which conveniently she does…er kinda. The Princess summoned her trident again and started to speak in an unknown demonic tongue softly into her weapon. It started to glow ominously making the others wondering what she was doing. She suddenly twirls her weapon around before slamming the butt end on the ground.
After she did that, a dark red circle with strange ruins around it and the pentagram symbol in the middle appeared underneath the trident. It then grew rabidly that had an approximant 200-yard radius. The circle stopped just stop at the others feet making them back up a little. This confused them a little wondering what this was. Niffty slowly reached out to touch the circle's edge only to pull back as sparks appeared on her fingertip making her eeped in surprise and with a slight numbing pain that was left.
"What in the?" She spoke in surprised rubbing her finger.
"Now what do we have here? A barrier of some kind? How interesting, I haven't seen this type before, those ruins and symbols alone say this is an extremely powerful one. Best I've seen so far. Looks like our dear Demon Belle isn't done surprising us. I bet you this is only just the beginning of her bags of tricks and I can't wait to see more!" Al examines the barrier while tapping it with his cane making it spark with each tap.
"The barrier I summoned around us will stop anyone or thing from interfering with this. But here's the kicker, it prohibits either of us from leaving and it won't go away unless one of us dies. That's right, I trap both of us in here and even I can no longer tear it down…unless I kill you. So now I have another reason to do that but then again, you've given me more than enough incentive to accept your request. Now prepare yourself asswipe, cause this is the day you DIE!" Charlie yelled at him slamming her foot on the ground making cracks.
Godzilla responded by roaring at her before stomping his way over to the Demoness. The Princess stood her ground letting the Kaiju get close to her, once he was close enough, she sprang into action and strike Godzilla in the chest. This made Godzilla stop but didn't seemed to faze him which made Charlie growled in frustration. She did another kick but this one was much stronger as it made him actually move back a bit. Seeing this she followed with another kick to the side which made him sidestep from the impact. The Princess smiled a wicked one and went into a succession of rapid strikes hitting different parts of his body with her feet, fists, and trident like before. This time however it was more effective which she capitalizes on and press on the attack.
Charlie assaulted him relentlessly using her increase speed and strength to thrash him about making him move back or to the side with each hit. And due to her tremendous speed Godzilla couldn't effectively bloke or catch her in the action. This continues on for a while before the King suddenly slammed his tail hard on the ground making another large quake. Not as strong as the other one but it was enough to make Charlie stumble as bit. Using that to his advantage, Godzilla slashed down at Charlie's head hard making her drop to the ground head first. Dazed and angered, Charlie looked up at the Kaiju snarling at him in pain giving him a nasty glare. But he didn't seem to notice as his foot was right on top of her and it looked like her was going to squish her head.
"Oh no you don't fucker!" She mentally thought before she unleashed a demonic aura similar to his Nuclear Pulse attack hitting Godzilla making him stumble back a few feet.
Doing a break dance type move to get back up quickly she then did wicked uppercut to his lower jaw with her demonic aura surrounding her fist to give it extra humph making a loud crack! The attack made a shockwave so strong that the others were pushed back from the sheer force alone. They regain their balance and looked back, everything seemed to be at a standstill as neither Charlie or Godzilla moved after her attack. Charlie held her position in the uppercut stance while Godzilla's head was still jerked up to the sky. It was dead silent with the only a slight breeze was heard that cut the dead silence. The group was standing by the side holding their breath in both anticipation and shocked what was happening so far. Though they held their cheers as this happened before when it seemed Charlie had the upper hand before it went to shit.
Suddenly something fell in front of their view hitting the ground making a little clicking sound. They looked down and saw it was a rather large fang that had some blood on it. Wondering where a fang came from, they all looked over at the two and notice something. One of Godzilla's upper fangs was missing. Looking back at the tooth then up again to the two, it finally dawns on the HH Crew what happened. Charlie knocked his fang out when she did her little 'Shoryuken' move on him!
Holy shitballs girl! Didn't know you could that, eat your heart out Ryu!
"Did I knock out one of your teeth, my bad." Charlie smiled evilly with a snarky cruel tone.
Godzilla slowly looked back down at her making no sound as all he did was licked the spot where his fang was missing. But besides that, he made no indication that he was hurt or cared she did that which irked Charlie a little. She finally got a good hit on him and she knew from past experience losing a tooth hurts like the unholy dickens, so seeing him play it off as if it was nothing just added fuel to her bone fire of anger. Now it was not clear if it was because he was arrogant to wright it off as nothing or it was nothing to him. Either or just angered her all the same.
"For fucks sakes…alright fine. If you want to play the tough guy act then go ahead, I'll just hit you harder till you BREAK!" Charlie yelled at him and went into another barrage of attacks.
This time she focuses mainly on his head. She figures if she attacks that part with vicious intent then that could potentially be the winning factor. He might be able to shrug off pain and his defensive abilities are formidable but if one let loose a veracious stream of attacks to the head, a well-known area of the body that if you inflicted even the slightest damage to it then it will cause great deal of problems to the individual, that could be her ticket to defeating him. So, she unleashed a storm of punches and kicks at his head with relentless frenzy, each with her demonic energy backing each strike to give her the extra strafe she needs to damage him. Striking every inch of his head she could reach; Charlie believes if she could just keep up the offensive then she might have a chance to win.
For even through her blind rage, she knows she still has a very slim chance of coming out of this alive but would still give it everything and more for though the chance was indeed slim, there was still a chance and she'll do whatever to achieve it.
The HH Crew saw how vicious and relentless the Princess has become, never in their wildest dreams they thought someone like Charlie could be anything close to what they see now. Charlie was a kind-hearted, sweet, determine, joy full, slightly naïve Demoness that spreads good will and wants the best for all…was gone. In place was a menacing, malevolent, dangerous, and insidious looking beast that is unleashing her wrath and savagery upon the Monster Monarch. It was a surreal thing for them, to see a reverse mirror image of Charlie that was opposite to the peppy Demon Princess they know. But a thought popped in their mind, one that none have consider before.
Was the Charlie they knew the actual Charlie or is this her true identity made manifest?
It came to light to them that none of them actually knew Charlie that well. Even Vaggie, the one that has known her the longest out of all of them, admits that even she doesn't know the full extent of who Charlie is. At least the whole story. She has only rarely seen Charlie out of her 'human' form but a few times and none of them were like this. Vaggie knows Charlie is a full fledge demon but because of her positive nature, kind-hearted ways, sweet temper, loving passion, and dorky tendency she never truly thought of her as one. But know seeing her like this was not only a slap to reality to her that she was a demon but it also made her questions if this version was the actual Charlie and the one she known was the façade?
Vaggie mentally shook her head of such thoughts. She couldn't believe she even for a second doubted who Charlie was, she knows who she is and nothing will change that. While it was both jarring and kinda scary to see her like this she knows it was only cause Godzilla pushed her to be like this. And she hated him for that. He forced her to become like this in order to have even the slightest chance of survival and all for some bullshit reason that he wants to see if Charlie 'has the will to kill him' what a crock of shit that was. And while she was happy seeing Godzilla getting his ass whooped, she was also afraid that if this continued any further then she might lose her girlfriend.
By Godzilla's means or by Charlie's own sanity snapping, either spells her demise and she fears the worst.
Charlie was now really laying out on him not giving him a chance to retaliate. She knows that if she lets up even for a second than Godzilla could capitalize on it and that could be it for her. While she needs every and all opportunity to win this, Godzilla only needs one. As Charlie went into another charge up attack, she was suddenly stopped in mid-attack. She blinked a few times and looked down to see Godzilla had catches her in the air and was now holding her by the shirt. Charlie jerk her head back in shock and anger, how the fuck did he do that? She looked back at Godzilla, who was looking at her for a moment before he cracked his neck and rolled his jaw hearing the popping noise from the action signifying to her he was resetting his joints and bones back in place. After that he gave her a low growl bringing her a little closer to him.
Charlie stared back with her intense rage in her eyes showing she wasn't intimidated by him before striking him in the face with her demonic aura surrounded fist. Yet when she made contact with his face, he didn't jerk or moved from the force. She looked confused when her attack didn't do anything. She hit him a few more times but got the same results. Now this was getting irksome! What was going on, why isn't her attacks doing anything? It was working before but now it was like they suddenly had no effect, what gives? Charlie grinded her teeth in anger at this, she had the edge but now was back to square one, fucking unfair!
"Why isn't this working!?" Charlie said going into another punch.
But as she threw it, Godzilla suddenly caught it with his maw and started to crush it with his teeth seeking in her flesh. Charlie screamed in pain feeling her bones and flesh being crushed slowly. She started to punch his face again to make him let her go but to no avail. The pain was increasing making her groan loudly in pain. After a few a few moments of this, Charlie decided to try a risky move to escape. Holding her hand near to her side away from his sight, she made a ball of pure demonic energy that was sparking like crazy as she builds up its potency to lethal levels. Once she felt it was enough, she slams the energy to the side of Godzilla's face making a large explosion that enclosed both of them.
The sudden force made Godzilla let her go and stumbled back as Charlie was flung away from him via the same force and skidded on the ground back first. The Princess growled in pain holding her damage hand that was in Godzilla's maw. Looking at it, it was covered in her blood and she could see her expose muscle and bones a little. But it wasn't just her hand that looked bad, her upper body looked rough thanks to the explosion. More of her shirt was gone as it looked more like a barbarian tank top now then a dress shirt. She has burn marks on her skin with a few cuts her and there. She hissed in pain as she stood up and looked over to Godzilla. He had smoke coming off his blacken scales and small arches of her demonic power came off his head but besides that he looked ok.
"Tough bastard, aren't you? I knew this wouldn't be a cake walk but damn you're living up on the whole 'indestructible' deal alright. But that's ok, cause I got more tricks to fuck you up!" She declared as she used her powers to heal her wounds.
Summoning her weapon back in her hands, she did a few fancy twirls with her trident before she pointed it at him as a dark red circle with demonic ruins appeared in front of it. And before Godzilla could ponder what she was doing, the circle starting to spin really fast as the debris around her slowly started to float up. The rocks, metal pieces, and other items started to glow in the same color as the circle. Godzilla cocked his brow a bit confused by this wondering what she was up to? He got his answer soon enough as one of the debris suddenly shot forward like a bullet hitting him in his right shoulder making a small explosion. This time her attack caused him pain, enough to make an audible grunt of discomfort from him. Charlie heard this and smiled wickedly knowing she was finally getting somewhere. And this gave her both satisfaction she was finally hurting him and hope she could win this.
"Awwww, is the mighty king having some trouble? Poor baby, I feel so bad that I'm hurting you. I'm such a bad bitch, aren't I? Let me make it up to by causing MORE pain!" She laughed at him in such a cruel way that it sends shivers down the other's spine.
But within her own mind and soul, she also felt slightly disgusted with herself for liking this, the feeling of joy of causing him pain. But she pushed it aside and continue her attack. Jabbing her weapon a bit forward, the rest of the debris launched at him with incredible speed that Godzilla knew he couldn't dodge. So, he paces himself from the attack and like always, will weather it no matter what. One by one, the objects hit him and exploded like the first one each hitting different parts of his body making him wince and groan in pain. Hundreds to possibly thousands of projectiles striking him over and over with enough force to kill scores of people, but he held his ground. For no matter how much pain he's in, he well not relent nor back down. For he will overcome it like always.
Like A Boss!
…sorry…couldn't help it…fucker's awesome and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise!
The others watched the pyro technician show and they all have roughly the same feeling about what they were seeing. While they are indeed routing for Charlie to win and finally seeing the King was getting his ass handed to him was a treat for them, some more than others, they can't help but feel something wasn't quite right with this. From what they've seen and been told, Godzilla was practically a God of Destruction that mows down any and all in his way. Going all out on them tearing them to shreds, never letting up, going in for the kill the moment it was presented, overpowering them with extreme prejudice, and making sure that his foe will never get back up again. Yet with this…yeah it was a bit off. Godzilla was mostly just standing there taking hit after hit and only attacking every now and then. Yes he has landed some hits…life threatening ones that would kill anyone in a nanosecond, but even those seemed to be not what they appear either.
It was painfully obvious to them that if Godzilla wanted to, he could have killed her much earlier. Yet he didn't, why? But it wasn't just them, Charlie also seemed to pick this up as well. To her, Godzilla was just letting her attack him and barely retaliates at all. And the times he does, the attacks themselves felt like he wasn't putting all his effort in it or made it so she could counter, dodge, or do something else. She was beginning to think this whole thing wasn't about fighting to the death, but more like he was waiting for her to do something. What she doesn't know and it was making her go a little nuts. What game was he playing at? What does he want from her? Does this actually have anything to do with what he asked? And if so, why ask her of all Demons. Or was there something under the surface she wasn't seeing?
"What's your actually plan here asshole? There's got to be more than you wanting me to kill you. Your up to something but I can't figure out what? Perhaps this is some-wait…oh no you don't. You're trying to distract me with questioning your motives. Well, I'm not falling for that!" Charlie thought with a sneer on her face.
I mean, she's not wrong thinking that this whole situation isn't kosher but at the same time when you reach this conclusion because your piss out of your mind you only get half points for it.
As for Godzilla, while he didn't like to feel pain, he was still impressed by the fact Charlie has indeed cause him pain. So far, the Princess has indeed step up her game and shown him she does have the ability to use her powers when it's needed. This was telling him that Charlie could, in the right situation, bring the pain in spades. Yet this was only part of the answers he wanted from her. While this was a good sign that she could dish it out, she was still shy in her goal to actually put him down for good as she said she would. Which means he needs to crank up the steaks once again. Charging up his spikes, he let loose his Atomic Breath aiming at the Princess. The beam charged at her destroying all the debris that was in its way. When Charlie saw Godzilla's spikes glowed, it told her what's to come. But instead of dodging like before, she surrounds herself in her demonic aura making a shield at the last second.
The radiation beam strikes the demonic aura hard as both energies, so different in all aspects, reacted violently to one another. The sounds and sights of crackling, sparks, bolts, and arches come to life as the radiation and demonic powers battle to overcome one another. It seemed neither could overpower the other but soon cracks were seen on her shield. Charlie saw this and pumped more of her aura to keep the barrier up but since Godzilla's attack wasn't letting up it was getting difficult for her to keep this up. She knows if she doesn't do something fast, her shield will break and she'll have a hefty taste of radiation smacking into her dead on.
Thinking quickly, Charlie summoned a few demonic circles behind Godzilla about a few feet away from him. Speaking in the Demonic Tongue, the circles turned into balls of pure demonic energies that suddenly launched forward hitting Godzilla's back and head. This made him stumble forward and stopping his attack. He whipped around to see what hit him but as he did that made an error of judgement, one that will cost him.
He took his sights off Charlie.
Seeing that his attention was elsewhere, Charlie made her wings and shot into the air going as far up as the barrier would allow. Once she was high enough, she looked down to the Kaiju who looking around trying to locate her. The Princess huff softy seeing this, it was almost amusing to witness the King cluelessly looking for her. At this height he kinda looks like an insect that would be so easy to squash, just place your thumb over it and softy press down would all it will take to end said insect. And to end Godzilla was exactly what she'll do. Summoning her trident in her right hand, she brought it up to her face and closed her eyes focusing all of her demonic energy into the weapon for one final attack.
Godzilla felt the energy build up and looked up to see Charlie high in the air with her weapon close to her face eyes closed. The weapon glowed like before as the energy build up with intensity as sparks came off the weapon like crazy. The others sense the energy build up as well and what they picked up made them shiver at how deadly it felt. After a few moments, Charlie snapped her eyes open and looked down at Godzilla with a cruel smile gracing her face.
"So here we are, at the end of this shit show. Pity, I was so enjoying myself in kicking your scaly ass from her to oblivion. But alas, all good things eventually must come to an end. Which means now is your last moment alive! You must be overjoyed now, right? For this is what you wanted me to do. To kill you, to have your last breath leave your throat as I crush it under my heel, for the life in your eyes fade away when I rip your heart out, the last twitching movement of your body made as I turn it to ash and dust! All this and more I'll inflict upon you as I end your miserable life and wash away your existence in my kingdom! And no one will mourn you, feely pity, shed tears, or weep as I kill you. You will be forgotten, discarded, left to rot, your corpse feeding low-life scavengers, and above all else, never be a threat to all I love and hold dear. Now rejoice and embrace, FOR THIS IS YOUR END!"
…I wish to put to motion to never piss off the Princess cause…yeah she gets kinda scary and sadistic when pushed.
As Charlie finished her speech, she made a down slash motion with her trident and a crescent shape beam came off it and headed towards Godzilla fast. It grew larger as it neared the King yet said King made no indication of dodging or countering the oncoming attack. All he did was stand there letting the beam come ever closer to him. When it finally made contact with Godzilla, a large explosion erupted that thrown up everything around high in the air. Dust, concrete, metal, buildings, anything that was around Godzilla was blown away from the massive force of the attack. The sound alone was heard throughout Hell as everyone stopped dead in their tracks and turned to the source of the noise wondering what cause such a noise.
The very force of the attack was so great the HH Crew fell to their knees unable to handle the power that came from the attack. It was minutes before the energy subsided enough from them to stand back up. What they saw shocked them, where Godzilla once stood there was a massive cut in the ground. Almost like a chasm or gorge, they couldn't even see the bottom. They all just stood there with blank minds as they continue to stare. It took them a bit to process what they were seeing and when the notion finally came into focus, they could hardly believe.
"…Fuck me sideways…she…she did it…she killed him." Angel whispered in almost disbelieve.
"Killed nothing…she vaporized him to nothing." Husk corrected yet he too couldn't believe what he saw.
"I…I could never imagine she has this kind of power…nor did I really know how powerful she really is." Vaggie asked to no one in particular.
"Well…she is Hell born Demon and they're suppose to be stronger then most." Niffty responded.
"This is true…though I could hardly imagine her to wield such power…I approve!" Alastor held a thumbs up liking what he saw.
Charlie hovered in the air looking at where Godzilla once stood with an apathetic face. She done it; she killed the King of the Monsters which means everyone was safe. Yet instead of feeling relieved or happy that this whole thing has ended, she felt cold and empty. Now the heat of the battle has ended and her anger was slowly disappearing, her mind was beginning to form clear cognitive thoughts. And she was anything but happy how things turned out. Despite all she had said beforehand about wanting to bring harm and even kill him, she never wanted this at all. Charlie didn't want to hurt him, to be this violent Demon, a crazy scary bitch that only wants to kill. But he pushed her to be one and that left a really bad taste. Charlie cast her sights down a little with her eyelids dropping halfway as she went into deep thought about this whole horse shit situation.
"Why…why did this have to happen? Why do all this, to force me to my wits end…to make me do…this? Did you really want me to kill you? From all I know about you, you always fight to the bitter end to avoid death…yet when you ask me to kill you…what the fuck was going through your mind you damn lizard? What caused yo-WHAM!" But a sudden and painful force stopped her in her musing.
Charlie fell to the ground with a hard crash, the new sensation of broken bones and massive headache now filed her sense. She groaned a little as she slowly sat up, the taste of her blood was known to her as well as the feeling of something wet running down her face. She place her hand on the wet spot to confirmed that, like in her mouth, was her blood. The Princess looked around to figure out what happened. Her gaze fell upon a large boulder about her size was a few yards away from her. Looking closely, she saw a blood splatter on the surface which told her all she needed.
Except one.
"Where did that come from?"
Her ears picked up noise of something moving around about a ways away from her. Looking to where the sound was coming from and was stun that it was coming from the scar ground. The noise itself sounded like something was coming up from the gorge, which made Charlie's mood darken. Soon a familiar figure crawled out from the cut and stood tall before shaken his entire body like a dog with wet fur. The Princess grinned her teeth in anger knowing exactly what this means
Godzilla survived and looked right as rain.
"You're kidding…the lizard survived that!?" Husk said in a shock manner.
"Son of a bitch, how the fuck did he survive that!?" Angel exclaimed also stun to see Godzilla didn't look worse for wear.
Godzilla ignored their words of surprise and started to head over to where Charlie was, who was now on her feet giving the Kaiju a mean death glare. This was absolute absurdity! She thrown damn near everything at him, plus the kitchen sink, and he was up and about like what he tanked was nothing! What does it take to kill this dinosaur?
"…Of course your still kicking, I really shouldn't be surprised by this. I knew you would be hard to kill…but fuck me, what does it take to kill you!?" She groaned loudly.
Godzilla didn't respond as he continue his march to her but Charlie wouldn't give him a chance to get close to her, at least not the way he thinks. Charlie spread her wings out as if she was trying to make herself look bigger, suddenly flapped her wings down to the ground and launched herself at Godzilla with great speed. Claws out, she rammed into Godzilla digging her claws into his chest with such force that she actually made him loose his footing and know was pushing him backwards. Using her Demonic Energy to give her the extra power, she pushed him all the way to the side of the building. His spikes pierced through the sloping wall making him immobile for a bit. And before he could dislodge himself from the wall, Charlie slams her foot on his neck binning him down. Godzilla looked at Charlie who was giving a dead serious glare filled with hatred.
"Now that I have your attention, can you do me a favor and just FUCKING DIE ALREADY!" Charlie screamed.
Charlie quickly summoned her weapon and with what remaining power she had left, she pumped all of it in her trident. And in one swift motion, she struck at his chest aiming for his heart. And as unlikely as it was, the trident actually pierced through his scales and sank deep in his chest and most liking stabbing through his heart. As she did that, she released the stored energy in the trident into Godzilla and, like a bomb, exploded in a blinding light that eclipsed both of them. The stored energy moved in an outward direction that knocked the group to the ground. The energy wasn't as big as her last attack but it was still big enough for their asses kissing dirt. It also made them feel they were paralyzed, though they could move enough for that to be not true. Once the sensation left their bodies, the stood back up and looked at the two combatants.
And what they saw was both unexpecting and unreal.
Charlie was on top of Godzilla holding her trident in place which is embedded deep in his chest. At the distance and angle they were at, it was hard to tell what was going on but it looked like Godzilla, The King of the Monsters and Incarnation of Mother Nature's Fury, lay still but with no obvious sign what his condition is, none can tell what this means. But it looks like he's finally…dead?
…Wait…
Did…did she really…no way…but that means…
Oh My God, Charlie Killed Godzilla! You Bastard!
…or is it bitch?
Either way, she actually did it! I did not see that coming!
The group was also stun to see that the Princess has fell the King but they held their optimism back. Nothing is a guarantee when it comes to ending Godzilla, that was something they learned early on. So they stood with bated breath waiting for any signs that will tell them if Godzilla was pushing up daisies or if he was playing possum. After what felt like an eternity, there was nothing that told them he was dead but at the same time can't rule it out either. And thanks to the barrier, they can't get close to confirm if they have a dead dino or not.
Not that any of them were stupid enough to get close to Godzilla if he was still alive for obvious, and really painful, reasons.
Charlie was also waiting for something, anything, that could say if Godzilla was dead or not. He eyes were closed, he lay there like a stiff, she couldn't tell if he was breathing, and she had no way to check his vitals since she would have no clue how to check or what to look for. But for what she can tell right now, it really does appear Charlie has killed Godzilla.
And that just made her feel the absolute worst of the worst.
She looked at Godzilla with hatred but for a different reason. The Princess just felt sick with herself, she did something she never wanted to do. She killed someone out of rage. She has never felt such rage to kill someone, at least not in real life. But Godzilla just had to push her buttons to the point of breaking them. Never in her life has anyone, not even someone she generally hates, has ever drove her to actually do what she did. Yet Godzilla did and she felt so mad and heartbroken all at the same time. With so many conflicted feelings swirling inside her, it was all too much for her to handle. She finally broke down and screamed her lungs out that echoed throughout Wasteland. Tears ran down her cheeks as she fell on top of the Kaiju her head resting on his neck as her demonic form faded away. She sobbed her little heart out and started talking in her sadness and gloom.
"D-d-d-damn you…God…fucking…damn you…w-w-w-why did you make me do this…what caused you to force me to kill you…I…I don't understand…I hate you…I…hate…fuck…I wish…I wish this could have ended differently…I didn't want you dead…you…you could of ask anything of me…anything…instead of…this…you made me…but you didn't have to…we could have talk this out…yet…you wanted…this…for me to…kill you…why?" Charlie spoke through her sobs and hiccups.
"Because it is what I asked of you." These words enter her mind suddenly.
Charlie suddenly snapped her head up and was surprised to see Godzilla looking at her. She was both confused and stun to see this and was having a bit of a difficult time to process this.
Oh…guess she didn't really kill him…and now I feel like an idiot for thinking Charlie actually off'd him.
"G…Godzilla…you're…alive?" She whispered still not really grasping what she was seeing.
"Of course, while you indeed cause me pain and showed me your powers, it'll still take a lot more than that to kill me. But I'm still impressed with what you did accomplish. You did what I wanted and even exceeding my expectation, you did well Youngling and I'm pleased that you were able to answer some of my questions through actions. Well done indeed Charlie." Godzilla placed his claw hand on her head and softly petted her.
His words felt not only calm but warm and welcoming…which was really off-putting but nice all the same time. Charlie was at lost for words, on one hand she was relieved she didn't kill him and the words she felt was something she needed in her dreary state, plus the petting felt nice too. Yet on the other she was confused, frustrated, and mad at him all at once for making her go through all that stress for what seems to her to get his approval on whatever he placed on her.
"I…you…what…what are you talking about? What questions? You're not making any sense." She questions him with some frustration in her voice.
"I will explain further if you wish. Now if you please get off me…you on top of me feels…weird."
Charlie blinked a few times before she realized what he was getting at. In the position they were in, it was a bit suggestive alright. Blushing a little, she quickly jumped off him embarrassed to be caught in that type of position with Godzilla of all people…Kaiju. Godzilla stood up as well, even with his spikes imbedded in the wall. He shook his whole body again to get rid of the rubble that was in between his spikes. Once he felt all the stuff was off of him, he turned to the blushing Demoness and spoke in her mind.
"Now then, shall I explain my intentions to you now?" He asks.
"Sure…but huh…you might want to take care of that first." Charlie pointed at his chest.
Godzilla raised his brow a little wondering what she meant till he looked down. The trident was still in his chest. Godzilla made a growl that sounded like he was a bit surprised he still had the trident in his chest like he forgot about it.
How the ever-loving cheese balls can anyone forget something like that is beyond reason but I suppose if you're the G-Man that can tank pain like nothing and heal from damn near any wound then…no…still how the fuck you miss that?
Godzilla took hold of the weapon and yanked it out with no hesitation. Charlie winced seeing that as if she was experience it herself but was amazed that Godzilla didn't bat an eye. Godzilla handed her weapon and Charlie took it and returned it to whatever it originally came from. Looking at the wound she made, she felt bad for causing that even though he did deserve it. But that feeling vanish as she saw the wound was already healing before her eyes. Within a minute, it was completely healed.
"Wow, I thought I was a fast healer. But that beats mine by a mile and a half…kinda unfair really."
"Much about life itself isn't fair, it is one of the trails we face in our lives and how we handle it determines how far we can go in life."
"Whoa, how did you…oh yeah…I forgot you can read minds…that's kinda freaky…good lesson all the same though, thanks O Wise King." Charlie said with sarcasm in her voice.
Godzilla just rolled his eyes a little when she said the last part.
"Ok, let's just head to the others now. They'll need to hear your 'explanation' of why you put me through all this stress as well. And I hope it's a good one cause I'll be really steamed if it turns out to be bullshit." She warned him giving him the stink eye.
Godzilla thought about it for a moment before he nodded agreeing that it wouldn't hurt if the others also know her reasons. So the two started to walked over to the group, who were baffled at this new development that was happening in front of them. From seeing Godzilla was still alive, to him petting her head, what they can assume is the two communicating to one another, and now the both walking over to them side by side like they didn't just have a fucking fight to the DEATH! This was confusing them so much that they didn't know where to start with what confused them most. Once they got close to them, Angel was the first to speak.
"Are you ok toots? You-YEOUCH!" Angel screamed in pain.
Angel forgot the barrier was still up and so when he took a step forward, he pumped into it and got a nasty zap to his body. His hair was standing up as his body went rigid with eyes right eye twitching like crazy. It only lasted a few seconds but it still stung like hell.
"Dammit! Forgot the stupid barrier was still up. Yo, mind getting rid of it so I don't burn my fur off from electrocution?" He asked fuming a little.
"…I can't." Charlie said looking down the ground.
"The fuck that's suppose to mean?" Husk asked.
"Well…when I made it…I kinda maybe sort of possibly in some ways…miiiiiight have place a certain condition that when met will disable it…which is either me or him has to…be dead for it to go away…oopsi?" She smiled nervously feeling rather embarrassed when she said that.
Man, hindsight really sucks don't it?
"…Seriously?" Niffty asked.
"Seriously." Charlie repeated.
"Does that mean your stuck?" Vaggie asked.
"…Maybe."
"Now this is an interesting conundrum we have here. A Demoness who made the barrier can't remove the barrier and now is trapped in what she created. Oh the poetic irony of it all." Alastor hammed it up.
"Charlie, what were you thinking?" Vaggie looked at the Princess stun that she would pull something that could easily backfire on her.
"I wasn't really, I was really mad when I made it so…yeah…didn't really think it through did I?"
"Doesn't seem like it. Isn't there anything we can do?" Niffty asked.
"I'm…not sure."
"Oh for fuck sakes, this is all your fault asshole! If you didn't start this whole bullshit nonsense about her fighting you then she wouldn't be trapped with you!" Vaggie yelled at Godzilla pointing her finger at him angerly.
"What actions she took was not my doing."
"Yes it is! You forced her to fight you and drove her to the point where she lost control and do things like made this crappy only-way-to-remove-barrier-is-by-killing-one-of-us fuckery we have now!" She countered.
"Again, she didn't need to place this barrier around us. It was her decision to do so. This was her doing, not mine. But I can fix that if I must."
"You're just talking out your ass now, how can you fix this mess?"
"Stand back."
The others looked at each other not sure what he was planning but did as he said cause whatever he'll do, they might get hurt. Which is a strong possibility when it comes to him. Once they were far enough away, Godzilla went up to the barrier just shy a foot away from it. He then suddenly thrust his claws out slamming them into the barrier causing sparks to go all over the place hitting him and the ground but he didn't mind. His claws soon breached through the barrier and somehow was able to grasp it like it was a physical object. Then he ripped open a large whole that started a chain reaction making cracks all over it before it finally exploded.
The others stood there with mouth gaping open as they couldn't believe Godzilla just ripped the barrier like it was wet paper.
"…Motherfucker…you really are a OP SOB, aren't you?" Huck asked.
"You all were complaining about the barrier being up but now it's gone you still complain? Is there no pleasing you Demons or do you all love to complain for the sake of complaining?"
"That's not-aw never mind." Angel waved off trying to explaining to Godzilla.
Vaggie suddenly rushed over to Charlie and giving her a bone crushing hug. Tears streamed down her cheek feeling relief and happy to have her in her arms again. She was worrying through the whole ordeal freaking out and thinking of the worst. But now that Charlie was in her arms hugging her back, all the fear and anxiety washed away.
"Oh Charlie, I was so worried. I really thought you were going to die…I wouldn't know what I would of do if…Fuck I was so scared for you… but your safe now mi hermoso ángel …I love you Charlie…I love you so much…please never do that again…ever." Vaggie's voice broke from the intense feeling of joy and relief.
"I know Vagatha…I'm so sorry for putting you through that…but hey, I'm back in your arms, just like I said I would." She tried to sooth her.
"Yeah…you did…And I'm thankful for that." She smiled at her feeling a bit better.
"Me too."
Charlie then pulls her into a soft kiss which Vaggie eagerly accepted. The kiss lasted a good 20 or so seconds before the two pulled back but only slightly. The rested their foreheads on the other looking in the others eyes, enjoying the other company feeling the joy, love, a security of being in each other's arms. The others stayed silent through the whole thing, letting the two lovers have their moment together. Even Godzilla decided to let them have this, even though he was getting a bit inpatient. After a few minutes pass, the two let go from one another before turning to the others with Angel suddenly engulfed her in a hug that caught her completely off guard.
"Angel?" Charlie was surprised by the Spider's action.
"Don't read into this too deep…just…glad your ok." He said softly.
"…Thanks…didn't know you cared." She hugged back.
"No…just…if you die then I'd have to go back to my crappy apartment and sucked that grease ball's dick for rent and I rather not thank you." Angel tried to play it off like he didn't care.
But he does.
"Sure Angel." Charlie giggled.
"Got to say, you kicked some major ass out there your Highness, remind me to never piss you off." Husk said with a small smirk.
"Thanks Husk and you can call me Charlie, no need to be formal." She gave him a kind smile that melted his icy heart a little.
"Such a performance you gave Princess! That has been the most extravagant display of power I've seen in such a long time. I say you can give me a run for my money. Well done." Alastor patter her shoulder giving her a warm grin and not his usual creepy one.
"…Well don't expect me to do that again anytime soon."
"Are you ok Princess? You took a real nasty beating." Niffty asked with a worried tone.
"I'll be sore in the morning but I'll live, don't worry about it." She waved it off as nothing.
"You sure, you got hit pretty hard a few times." Husk asked.
"Nothing that painkillers and a soft bed won't cure."
"Speaking of that…" Vaggie suddenly walked over to Godzilla.
"You fucking dino piece of shit! I should skewer your ass for the stunt you pulled! I knew having you near us was a bad idea, you're nothing but a walking death factor that destroys everything you come in contact with. I want you gone; you hear me? I won't have you near Charlie ever again. You nearly killed her with your stupid battle to the death. I don't care what reason you had in your pea brain skull of yours but nothing you'll say will make up for nearly taking my one light in my life. Now fuck off!" She threatens him as her spear was a mere inch away from him.
Did she forget he could mop the floor with her corpse?
"What are you blathering about? I never said we should have a battle to the death, where you got this idea, I have no clue." He corrected her.
"Don't bullshit me fucker! You asked Charlie to fight you to the death, don't say you didn't!" Vaggie snapped back.
"Again, I did not. I said she should fight me like she wants to kill me. To show me she has the will to kill me. Nowhere did I say we should fight to the death. In fact, I never said I would fight at all. So tell me, where did you get the idea of a death battle from that cause that would indicate I wanted to kill her, which I didn't."
The others thought back to the conversation that led to the fight and found that he was kinda right. Never did he say he would battle her to the death or kill her. Now they were thinking about it, it sounded Godzilla just wanted to see her fight and not engage at all. But that didn't settle the matter completely.
"If that was true than explain the parts where you nearly put her six feet under?" Angel pointed out.
"I suppose it looked like it at first glance but tell me, do any of you remember doing Moe's explanation on me you saw a clip of my previous battles I partake in?"
"Yeah?" Husk agreed.
"Now compared to those and what happen today, what can you tell me about it?"
"Well…doing our 'battle', I notice a few things that didn't add up. I know how powerful, destructive, and dangerous you are when you fight. You go in with everything you have, trying to end the battle quickly, and to do that you never give your opponent a moment or chance to get you. You unleash your power indiscriminately, always going for the kill, and never letting up. But I notice none of those in our fight. I mean yeah when you did attack me, I felt those could hurt me and when they do land on me, they smart like crazy. Yet they where far and few in between, you only attack a handful of times, most of the time you just stood there and let me wail on you, and it also looked like I could dodge, counter, overcome, or something to get out of some of the binds I was in. I even notice that you would only do anything after I attack you and that wasn't immediate…So yes, this fight was nothing like your normal ones…mind saying why?" Charlie asked after she went down the list of how he responded to her attacks.
"It all comes to my reasons, the questions I have, and why I asked you to do this in the first place. And it starts with my first question, would you hold back if something as dangerous as me comes to the hotel?"
"Something as dangerous as you?"
"It's not hard to reason to say that they're some dangerous and vicious Demons in this realm, the Smiling Demon here is just one example, and it is also not out of the realm of imagination some could come near the hotel with the intent to cause harm to the building or those who reside in it. Now, what would you do when that happens?"
"I would try to end any hostile situation peacefully and extend my hand to help those individuals letting them know I mean them no harm and invite them to try to better themselves so they can have a better afterlife." Charlie responded with confidents.
"And if that fails?"
"Then I'll politely ask them to leave."
"And if they don't?"
But Charlie hesitates on that question not really having an answer.
"And there lies the problem. Now you told me why you don't use force or intimidation and believe it or not, I both understand and accept that."
"You…wait seriously? You, mister 'I'm a fucking monster that will fuck you up if you even glance in my directions' guy is ok with and accepts why she doesn't just kill jackasses like you?" Vaggie asked not believing him.
"I don't do that; I rarely go into any situation with the intent to end a life. In fact, I rather not go down that path if I can."
"…PFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! Oh God, that was a good one, you don't want to kill anyone when they piss you off even a little. That's has to be the biggest lie I ever heard! HAHAHAHA" Angel laughed his ass off.
"Then tell me, why are you still alive?"
HAHAHA…what?" The made the Porn Star stop and looked at him confused.
"If what you say is true, then you shouldn't be alive right now. You have annoyed me greatly over the time I stayed in the hotel so by your logic, I should have killed you already. Yet here you stand. So should I correct that and kill you now?"
"…I just realize your absolutely right, you don't need to kill every person that has ever piss you off. Why change a good thing, am I right?" Angel tried to weasel his way out of becoming double dead.
"And this is why you should watch what you say cause you can get your ass handed to you." Vaggie made a snide commit.
"Go lick some carpet bitch!" He snaps back.
"Ok let's not go into another fight, we had too many already!" Charlie steps in to try to stop a possible fight from breaking out.
The two looked at the Princess, who had a tired and wary look on her face, made them mentally kick themselves. They didn't mean to cause her, of all people, grieve after her ordeal. So the two backed down saying sorry.
"Thanks guys. Now back you were saying…do you really accept my reason? Why?" Charlie turned to Godzilla.
"In my eyes, your way to try to deter any future conflict that could lead to a fight is akin to what I would do, in a different manner of course."
"How so?" Niffty asked.
"For me and most species, fighting is a last resort to defend yourself or stop a threat to your very survival. You might have notice that when someone bugs or 'threatens' me that I will first just ignore them. And if that doesn't work, I just move away from them. If that doesn't work or I can't do that, then I us intimidation methods, such as growls and bearing my claws and teeth. And if I believe my life and survival is at risk will be only time I'll fight and kill. But that is a last resort." He started.
"Even for the like of me, a fight can leave you vulnerable to another attacker where it could lead to me being extremely injured or die. Not to mention it takes a lot of energy just to fight off an attacker and that could take me awhile to regain my lost energy. It is why I use other methods to deter others to not attack me to avoid that. And I see that in how Charlie handles threats, she uses methods to do the exact same thing. While I don't understand them completely, I do understand her reason to do that, at least partly." He finished.
The HH Crew looked at Godzilla a bit stun when they heard that. And it did make a lot of sense now. They do see he never really engages in fights first but a last measure. It was something they never really thought about till now. It was a part of his defensive to protect himself, it seems even a Demigod like him needs one as well. And while he does do the exact same thing when he feels annoyed by them, it was just a process he uses that he knows works. And they were secretly grateful he has this mentality to use those first before going any further and tearing them a new one. But that still leaves a few more questions.
"A sound decision my good sir, but this doesn't really tell us why you wanted our beloved Princess to kill you?" Alastor asked.
"Because it looked to me, she doesn't understand that she might need to use force to survive."
"I don't follow?" Charlie asked scratching her head a little.
"Yes, while I understand why you don't want to go into battle, you don't grasp that you will be placed in situation that you either do or die. I saw this when those four weaklings Demons talk to you. You were places in a situation that would be beneficial if you acted a bit more aggressively yet instead you held back and it cost you. This tells me you don't get that if you do nothing to at the very least spare you from injuries and further conflicts, you'll regret it. Which brings us back to the question, would you do the same if something at the Smiling Demon's level comes to bring harm? Would you hold back for the sake of your ideals? If your methods to deter such actions fail, would you do nothing afterword even if it means you or those you care for get hurt…or die?"
That last question hung in the air heavily. It was a rather uncomfortable thing to ask, especially to Charlie. What he asks is not an easy thing for her to answer. She knows there'll be oppositions to her idea's and hotel, her farther included. And she feels that some will take in their hands to 'correct' her way of thinking and that could lead to conflict. She always hopes she could talk anyone down from ever going that far if she was given a chance. But she saw that doesn't always work. And as much as she doesn't like to admit it, he did bring up a few points that she can't deny.
"Ok…I kinda see where you're coming from. I can't expect that I can always talk my way out of bad situations that could lead to a fight. I also understand that because of my hesitant that it has led to an escalation of conflict that didn't need to happen. But that doesn't explain why you…wait…did…when you ask me to fight you…were you trying to force me into accepting that I'll need to fight? That the reason you didn't really fight back to often was because you wanted to see that if I could fight and…kill?" The sudden realization hit her like a house.
"I'm glad to see you were able to come to that conclusion on your own, that's says a great deal about you Youngling. Yes, I wanted you to understand that there will be times where you'll need to fight and even kill. To get you to finally see that you can't always rely on your methods to solve all your problems. For there will be times in your life you must act if you wish to see the next day. And sometimes if you don't end the fight soon and hold back too much, the enemy could use that against you and overcome you, such as I did a few times. I added more pressure and put you in greater danger to force you to finally understand that much is at stake when you hesitate, as you learned. I know you don't want to fight; I understand that. But to never expect to do so will only cause you pain and grieve. And be at ease, you still can use your nonviolent methods to end conflicts, I believe you should since fights can cost more even if it is a last resort. I come across a saying you might have heard. One should pursue Peace, but be prepare for War. I'm not asking you to change your ways, just understand that sometimes you must do things that, while against, will have to do from time to time."
…Damn…that's deep.
The others couldn't help but feel dumbfounded by the King's explanations. It all came to focus now. Everything he did, from only attacking every now and then, to hitting her hard but was able to survive it, it was all for a purpose. To get Charlie to understand that sometimes in life, one must fight or face the consequences. But that still didn't set well with Vaggie who, not unfairly, was really mad with Godzilla on how he taught this lesson.
"And you couldn't just tell her this, you had to fucking torture and hurt her to get the point across?" She asked with venom in her voice.
"How I did it had a purpose. I felt she wouldn't truly understand what I wanted her to get if I just told her. To get her to see and come to the conclusion on her own will cement the lesson much more effectively. I know you and the others didn't like that but sometimes to truly get the meaning is to be forced into it to see what it is telling you. It's the same lesson I had to learn but take comfort I taught her this and not life. For if you failed by its test, you die. With me at least she had a better chance to survive that lesson if she failed and considering I wasn't going all out made it more apparent. I knew she had the power to stop me, I just wanted her to see she needed to use it. And in the end, she did."
"Ok, I see where you're coming from. During wars, most guys who never fought in a battle have no idea what's it like till there in the heat of it where they finally get it. But she only got the better of you cause she was fucking pissed and had no restraints. And believe me, that shit doesn't end well." Husker added his own wisdom.
"I agree, I have notice that many creatures use this type of tactic to get their foes to lose their focus by their blind hatred and use that to their advantage. In my past I have let anger guide my actions in battle and it cost me dearly in the end. I let my foe get the chance to anger me which blinded me to properly fight. I used the same method against Charlie as well, for both get her to finally use her powers and to let her see that if your foe does that then it could lead to your demise. Though to be honest, I didn't think that would work. I have never done that before, using words to anger another. So I had no idea if it would work nor did I know I would be good at it, since I'm not know for using words I figured I would fail in that."
"Oh believe me, you have a knack for pissing off people from your words dude, that for sure." Angel said with a slight snarl on his face.
"I do? Then I thank you for telling me that, I'll keep that in mind for the future."
Some of the group face slapped themselves groaning that Godzilla saw it as constructive criticism than being mocked at. It was somewhat hilarious that he can use wise words but is dumb when it comes to understanding other's words. Talk about oxymoron in the flesh, right?
"So…what happens now?" Niffty asked the final important question.
"Charlie has demonstrated that she does have the will to kill thus by the agreement I am willing to return to the hotel and will try to follow ever rule and demand she has regarding to her hotel as promise. If she still wishes that is. If she has decided for me to not be anywhere near the building and all who resides than I will honor her decision and none of you will ever see me again. In addition, I will not harm any Demons or Sinners unless they wish to harm me, will stay in this territory, and will not leave Hell using my ways. The choice is yours Youngling, I will follow either, you've earned it."
All eyes turned to the Princess waiting for her to pick, all having no idea what she'll choose. All wish for her to choose the option to make him stay in Wasteland and away from them but won't be surprised if she chose to let him back in. Some of them decided to convince her to choose the option B.
"I would recommend in letting him stay here, it has been shown that the beast is not a gracious guest in the hotel. He has caused a good amount of grieve and nerve on all of us, not to mention he is a very rude creature. And with his reputation and bounty still stain on him, he'll attract more trouble than willing guest." Alastor said in a smooth yet mean tone.
"As much I hate to agree with him, he's right. This bastard will just cause more trouble if it allowed to come back. And remember this thing is a monster, what guarantee can we get it won't just kill us on a whim? I mean, look what he did to you and this is it holding back. What would happen if it goes berserk? We can't take the chance, just leave its ass and go home. We don't need it nor will this thing help the hotel. In fact, who's to say it'll keeps its word and follow you no matter what?" Vaggie tries to get her to see the danger if she agrees to letting Godzilla return with them.
Charlie took in what they said into serious consideration. She knows it would be an enormous risk for Godzilla to return to the hotel, the backfire will be so bad that it would be remembered for years after she's kicks the bucket. She understands he is dangerous and will be next to impossible to control or even stop him if he does decide to attack them. Charlie looked over to Godzilla who stood there patiently waiting for her response. It didn't seem he was bothered by what Al and Vaggie said about him, though that's most likely cause he didn't care what they think. The Princess decided to ask something and depending on how he responds than she'll have her answer. Straighten herself, she calmly walked over to Godzilla till she was a foot away. She looked him straight in the eyes and spoke firmly.
"If I agree for you to come back, will you follow every rule and demand I have to you staying in my hotel? No more bitching or questioning my decisions, no more ignoring me when I ask or speak to you, no more being the lone wolf and try to get along with everyone? Do I have your word that you will let me handle disputes my way first, even if it's against you?" Charlie asked with a no-nonsense tone.
"As I said, I will try. I can't guarantee I'll do everything you ask or want from me all the time. I'm use to being alone that having others around me is not something I'm accustomed too. And if that is not what you want to hear than you can ask me to stay here and I will do that. I will agree to either."
It wasn't what Charlie wanted to hear but she still does want him back in the hotel, partly to keep an eye on him but the other part is to give him the chance to have a better life. She still believes he deserves one and he does have a good side to his rough exterior. Not to mention all the good advice he's been given and the lesson he given her. While she still has problems with how he taught it and was still mad at him for most of the things he's said, she has found it to be a real eye opener, one she really needed. It was these reasons she is willing to give him the chance to be a better version of himself. But if he won't follow her rules as a guest then that could be a problem down the road.
"I do want you back in the hotel. Despite how you act, talk, and behave, you have good qualities that I can see. And I know you don't cause trouble for the sake of causing trouble. Like you said, you don't look for trouble but end it if needed. But if I can't have your total agreement that you will follow everything as one of my guests, then I might have to ask you to stay here. I don't want that for you but I might have to." She spoke.
Godzilla looked at her with his head turned to the side which told them he was thinking. After a few second, he responded.
"If you truly wish for me to return, then perhaps I should come back not as a guest but an employee."
…HUH?!
"Uh…come again?" She asked not expecting him to say that.
"What if I can guarantee I'll follow you if I come back as one of your employee's? From what I've read, how it works, you offer me incentives that I would want and in return I would agree to whatever you want from me. Would that work?"
"…I uh…I mean…if you think that'll help you in keeping your promise…sooooo…what would you do?"
"I will guard and protect your hotel from all threats to it and those in it. Any that wish it or any that call the hotel home harm than I will deal with it. However, I will let you try to handle the threat your way first and if it escalates from there, I will handle it. And in return I only ask a few things."
"And those would be?"
"If I wish to be alone then you will respect it. While I will try to be more 'social' I will want to be alone every now and then. I won't hold you or anyone else responsible if another does not give me my space. But I will not be responsible to take action for those who ignore my need to be alone or annoy me constantly. I will use my methods to either ignore or scare them away if they do annoy me. The next is finding a way out of here. I now understand that could take a long time to accomplish, years even. I accept that. But I would ask to be part of the search, asking you to solely do it alone will do no good. So I offer my help. The next is I don't need a room; I am perfectly fine with being outside. I can find a place to sleep. But if you still wish me to sleep in a room, then I ask to be place in a room closer to ground level. I still have trouble using those cursed stairs and I have no intention in using that elevator contraption either. The third is food, if you still wish for me not to go hunting, then I am ok with you give me food once a few days. And the last thing is, while I will protect those inside the hotel, I will not outside. Anything that happens to them that doesn't concern the hotel, for example if they did something outside of the hotel that's not related to it, then I will not help them if trouble comes looking for them. I don't fight others battle, that's their responsibility not mine. And I expect the same if someone wants to bring harm to me. I will not ask for help, for that is my trouble and I will handle it. No one will need to help me if they don't want to. Those are my terms, if you agree to them than I will intern agree to yours, will this work for you?"
Charlie listens to his demands with a careful ear and was somewhat surprised by what he wanted, everything he listed has so far was rather reasonable and not at all crazy. It was simple and clean. Be left alone sometimes, help with finding a way out of here, a room, something to eat every now and then, and not be part of anyone's bullshit drama that doesn't revolve around the hotel. All was more than within reason, she actually felt she was getting the better bargain here. So after a few minutes of deliberating, she had her answer.
"Very well, if you agree to my terms and follow my rules than I will be more than happy to accept yours. Your hired Godzilla!" She smiled and stuck her hand out for an agreement shake.
But all Godzilla just stare at her hand with a cock brow and turned head not understanding what the gestor means. Charlie let out a soft giggle before explaining.
"It's a gestor that has many meanings, one of them is to acknowledge and accept an agreement. So just take my hand and move it up and down."
Godzilla blinked at that not really getting that but decided to do it. So he softly took her hand and moved it like she said. After a few shakes he let go.
"Now let's head back to the hotel so we can all have a nice meal and rest. Tomorrow we'll iron out the details of your employment."
"Oh what a splendid development this has turned out, I am very relieved this has resolved into this!" A familiar voce suddenly spoke up scaring the ever-loving crap out of the group.
"What the fuck!? Who said that!?" Husk looked around to see where the voice came from.
"My apologies, allow me."
Soon Moe materialize in front of them with a happy icon in his optic.
"Hello everyone, I am glad to see you are all ok, despite how things turned out a while ago." Moe said with a happy voice.
"Moe!? When did you get here?" Vaggie asked after she calm her nerves.
"I've been around you all since the Princess came to meet Godzilla earlier this day. I stayed cloaked for the time being for as of then you and him were not on good terms. As I still am program to help Godzilla here, I found it best to stay hidden for the fact I would not be able to help any of you that would go against what he wanted. Only now can I say that has change. With the agreement Godzilla and Princess Magna made, I will resume in helping the hotel and everyone in it. In regards for info of Godzilla or gathering information that is. Unless Godzilla says so, I will be at your disposal. I am truly happy we are all allies again!" He clapped his fins in happiness.
But the others didn't feel or express his sentiments as they either just scuff, rolled their eyes, or made a rude gestor.
"…Maybe it's too soon to say that right now. But as time goes on, that could change."
But again, they didn't agree and turned to leave for the hotel leaving Moe, Charlie, and Godzilla standing there.
"…I guess they're still mad at all that has transpired." Moe concluded.
"A lot has happened Moe so it'll take a while for everyone to warm up to Godzilla again…if ever." Charlie said.
"And you?"
"I won't say I'm a hundred percent ok with Godzilla nor have I completely forgiven him with everything he's done and said. But I'm willing to leave it in the past and start again. Like I said, he doesn't think and do things like anyone else here so all his actions are not out of being a complete prick, just him having a hard time understanding stuff and how his mind works. Which helps a little bit. But in time I do believe the wounds will heal and things will go back to before those three guys came to the hotel. Maybe even better." Charlie explained.
"It still astonishes me that you have such an optimistic view of things." Moe complemented her.
"One of the perks of being me. And I welcome you back too Moe, your help will be most appreciated. Now let's all head home, I have a comfy bed and painkillers calling my name and I aim to heed that call." She said and jogged to catch up to the others.
Godzilla and Moe follow suit. Soon they reached the group and all headed to the edge of Wasteland where Charlie called Razzle and Dazzle to pick them up with the M.W.L. that they somehow kept. As they waited for their ride, the group went to their own little conversation with Moe. Only Godzilla didn't participate in it, mainly for the fact the group doesn't want to talk to him, especially Vaggie. But he didn't mind, he knew he wasn't welcome but he accepted that. He was never welcome anywhere so he was used to it.
He honestly expects to never be welcome by them; he even has doubts that Charlie does too. The King felt that the real reason she agreed to let him return to the hotel so she could keep on eye on him. Which he couldn't fault her on that and understood. Besides, he didn't agree to return with the thought of giving anyone a chance anyways. He had ulterior motives. He wanted to get the fuck out of Hell. He had it with this place in his sort time and wants to move on. And to do that he needed help. Charlie, along with Moe, are the only ones that are willing to do that. But there was another reason he wants out.
If what Moe said is true, then he's putting everyone and thing in danger the longer he stays here. Now don't get the idea he cares about what happens to anyone here, cause he couldn't give a Baboon's Ass about anyone. He just felt that there was no reason to bring harm to them without reason. He might not care but that doesn't mean he wants them to suffer cause he stays here. There was no reason or benefit to cause anyone suffering if they did nothing to him, if they leave him alone than he does the same. So finding the fastest way out is the top priority in his books.
But he was fully aware that it could take a while to achieve this. Yes he could just leave by his means, it worked in the past. Yet he knows that could lead to greater destructive consequences he rather not deal with. So finding another way out was, for now, the only option. But there was another reason for why he agreed to return. And it was for the question why and how he receives his 'cursed' thoughts and feelings. Being away from the others did little to halt or rid of them, which was his original plan. But that has done squat.
So now he thinks that maybe he can get answers to why he has them at the hotel and if he knows the why then perhaps, he could find a solution to get rid of them. It was a long shot, like his first plan, but he really needed a cure for this and as far as he sees it, that could be the hotel. How ironic, the place that plague him with this 'curse' might be the same place to cure him. What a freak'n bitch that is! With that in mind, he stood in silence waiting for the ride back to the hotel letting his mind wonder thinking about many things.
Including did he picked the right path or doomed himself in ever larger bullshit drama yet to come?
And Cut!
And there you have it folks! The roller-coaster ride of drama has come to an end!
My God did the Princess really gave him a good show on how dangerously awesome she can be if pushed far enough! Some of her attacks really did leave a few marks on him and he was impressed, most impressed indeed! And it looks like Godzilla is back with the HH Crew and on a payroll…well…not whole heartedly welcomed back but you know, baby steps. What will happen next you ask? Well I'll tell you!
In the next installment, it seems the King will get a visit to a new comer with the intent to take his title for themselves! Who is this person that is retarded enough to try this insane move? And what's the deal with the monkey tail? If you want these answers than maybe you should stick around for the next time to see what the fuck is going on!
Whelp I hope you guys enjoy this one. Again, sorry it took so long but damn the site for bugging out on me. Please let me know what you think and I'll see you all in the next chapter! OUT!
