Purple Vengeance

by Miss Queen B

"Soon she's gonna find, stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends. She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge, ha!" When Barb took away something Precious from Tiamat long ago, Tiamat returns to even the score. Vowing to take whatever belongs to Barb in blood. Takes place after "Midnight Black"

2. Part II

Miss Queen B: I'm so tired...

Note One: Hey everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry for the late update. Work, Kids at school and family drama is keeping me busy most of the day. If you've been reading my updates in my profile you'll see the type of family drama I'm dealing with. Ugh. Anyway I'm super happy for all the reviews from the last chapter. I know there were a few parts that were hard to read, hopefully this chapter will be a bit more...comical? I love, love, love the reviews by the way, I'm was a little nervous about debating Tiamat as one of Ghidorah's allies/love interest, but I see it was better than I expected. yay. I'm glad I haven't lost my touch yet.

Note Two: I have to say, this chapter was very, very hard to write. Fight scenes are not my strong points, it took me two weeks just to write that particular part and I'm still not happy with the results, but I'd tried. I had to look up more info on Tiamat and go over the Godzilla: Dominion comic a few times to see how she could handle herself in a fight against Barb at full power. I mean it look like she gave Gojira a hard time once they were deep underwater and the fact Tiamat was still moving after he stomped on her head, I was like, damn, she can take a hit like Barb. Plus it seems like most Readers want Barb to take a beating due to hurting Tiamat on a personal level so I added a little bit of that in there as well. The outcome? I'm lost a lot of sleep, but oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Note Three: Sadly, due to this chapter taking so long to finish, I know I said beforehand that I was going to try to write Methuselah with an actual Scottish accent, but I simply didn't have the time and didn't want Readers to wait any longer, so I didn't write it to this chapter. I will go back and fix it later when I get a chance. I'm truly sorry, but I will type in up either in this chapter or another story one day. I appreciate your patience.

Note Four: Ok so about this chapter: Written in Methuselah and Barb's pov: Methuselah is having a really hard time getting over his missteps with the King. Behemoth's advice is no help. We have Barb and Meth actually having a decent conversation, water-type exercises and role-reversal playfulness. Tiamat shows ups and finds it rather difficult to make someone like Barb suffer in pain so she goes after Methuselah believing he means something to Barb. Add a dash of salt and pepper and a hint to my future story "Gray Clouds", and here you go, the ending of this short story.

Thank you for the reviews. Enjoy.

(Takes place after "Tsunami" Part V)

He dunks his head underwater, shaking it violently to get rid of the dried blood on his face while wincing from the salt water invading his tender, bruised eye. Once he felt like he was cleansed he pulled his head out of the water and spit. The warm evening breeze hit his face and he looked up to see the colors of the late day sky and for a moment he felt a sense of peace till he heard his Companion's voice from behind him.

Bad day?

Methuselah turned around to see a very tired Behemoth, who was lying down by the shoreline, giving him a pitiful look. Rodan was leaning against Behemoth's side in a deep slumber and snoring very loudly for Methuselah's taste.

You have no idea. Methuselah said, shaking his head before speaking again. What about you? You look like you've aged overnight?

Rodan stretched his wings out before turning around to go back in to sleep. Burying his warm body deeper in Behemoth's fur. Behemoth sighed, This young Fellow next to me nearly gave me a heart attack this morning.

What stupid thing did he do this time? Meth asked while walking over to his Companion. At this point, he was not surprised by Rodan's childish antics. Great sparring partner, but Spit Fire didn't have strategy. Just plain old attacking and see what works.

Our King came for a visit yesterday. He brought the young Prince with him so he could meet me. Well, the visit went a little longer than he anticipated and decided to sleep on my turf for the night. I thought it would be safe since Rodan was out doing an errand for me and would stay out all night afterwards, but no, he ended up returning later when the King was asleep.

Let me guess, he woke up the King and all hell broke loose? Meth asked.

No, Our King is a heavy Sleeper so Rodan thought it would be fun to take….He clears his throat as if it was a cure to calm his nerves….the young Prince out for a Joyfly.

Methuselah choked back his laughter, which stunned Behemoth. That Shameless Son of a Bitch.

It's not funny, Meth. He knew the King does not think highly of him and he pulls something like this? He was out all night. The King was barely waking up by the time he came back with the Prince. He almost got caught and if the King finds out what Rodan did...I don't even want to know what type of punishment he will receive. I keep telling him his Foolishness is going to catch up to him one day, but sadly, he's not listening to me.

He didn't harm the little Lad in any way, did he?

Behemoth shook his head. No, in fact from the looks of it, he made a great impression on the young Prince. The little one may look like his Sire, but he wants to be up in the sky like his Lovely Mother. I think he just saw Rodan as a form of transportation.

Ha, that's funny, but seriously, if there was no foul play, the best thing you need to do is keep your mouth shut about it. As long as the King doesn't know, the better it is. Meth said, with a firm look. Don't even tell your Lady Squid about it either. Kaiju knows how females like to gossip.

I can't do that. I can't hide stuff like that from my Dear Scylla. Behemoth said, concerned.

Meth's wounds started to throb all over his body all of a sudden. His body took a lot of hits over the night he was with Barb followed by the beating he took from the King this morning. The King didn't hold back and he couldn't complain about it either. He sighed and rubbed his tender eye. Behemoth, I hate to put you between your female and your companion, but if you care about Rodan, you will not speak to Scylla about what he did. Let's just forget about it as if nothing happened and hope the little Lad doesn't say anything as well.

Rodan started to stir in his sleep. His face clenched as if he was having a bad dream. He muttered something so quietly it was hard for the other two to figure out. He then curled himself into a tight little ball, using his wings to hide himself from the world. Behemoth shook his head and sighed. You're right. I won't say anything, but there's another problem, I'm afraid.

What?

Behemoth sighed. He knows that the Queen was left behind since the King wanted this trip to be a male bonding experience and Rodan wants to go visit her.

He shook his head. Yeah, sure because why not, it won't be the first time.

I don't need your sarcasm, Meth. Behemoth said.

Fine, normally I would say just let him dig his own grave, but since you care so much. I would watch him constantly.

I might have to. Behemoth said, before letting out a small sigh. Though that might be hard with him being a flyer. I'm just glad Scylla is over there keeping her company.

Good. Methuselah said, before closing his eyes to enjoy the quiet evening.

Sadly, he couldn't relax with the way his mind was running a million miles per second. His thoughts went back to last night. That familiar pair of glowing blood-red eyes appeared in his dark, dark memories. She played him once again and at this point he didn't know whether to be pissed off or extremely intrigued by their little Sparring games. If you would even call it that They were sparring well, she was actually true to her word to keep it professional, she didn't even go after his weak spot like that last time, but then just when he was starting to have a good time, she sideswiped him in the form of a kiss. Even after telling her they were no longer doing any type of affection, she pulled that little cheap shot? After dealing with her for a while, he would think he would know her inside and out, but the way she kissed him threw him off. It wasn't a hard, teeth-chipping, forceful smooch, it was actually soft...almost gentle. The seconds felt like hours and he could actually hear her purr from this little exchange till she got greedy and tried to bite his tongue. He pushed her away which led to bantering over stupid shit which heated to plain insults and pushing each other around like little hatchlings would do. She can be so infuriating, but she was no quitter and won't back down from a fight even with him and that's the charm he always likes in a female. He recalled his girlfriend before Barb being as stubborn and a real "Ballbuster" as the Parasite was, but damn, Ceres just knew how to challenge him. The fighting stopped when Barb started to laugh at him for getting turned on by their little back and forth game. Once again being right about how he still wanted her for more than some body to tackle and hit. She just wouldn't shut up. That smart-ass mouth of her just went on and on like the way Behemoth would chat, but at least he had good matters. Part of him could've just walked away, leaving her hanging and rejected just like before when they first met, but the bad, immature side of him (And yes, even someone like him had one) wanted to shut her mouth up and knew exactly how to do it. Next thing he knew, he had her pinned to the ground, her smirk growing wider and wider as he got more aggressive, and didn't bother for tenderness or caress and went straight for her-

So did you get a visit from the King as well?

Methuselah snapped his eyes open, a little relief that Behemoth interrupted his remembrance for that wild night. He popped his neck before clicking his raw tongue. Yes…how did you know?

He told me that was his next stop. So how did it go? What did you think of the young Prince?

Methuselah said nothing. Remembering waking up with Barb cuddled up against him and a pair of Golden eyes staring down at him with so much anger and disappointment.

Did you and the King have a sparring match? You look a little beat up.

Methuselah tapped his claws on the ground, staring at his worn down nails he used not only to hold Barb down just the way she liked it, but to strike the King as well….You could say that….

Is that the reason you're having a bad day? Behemoth asked, smiling. Did you lose to him again?

Behemoth quit asking so many questions, I have a feeling you know more than what you're leading on.

Alright, alright. The Sloth said, holding up one of his paws in defense. Rodan mentions he flew by your turf last night and heard some commotion between you and the Muto.

Her name is Barb, Behemoth.

Behemoth chuckled, Fair enough, anyway I-

The King caught us, Behemoth and don't ask for the details either. Methuselah said, blushing a bit. Might as well say it now and get it over with instead of getting interrogated by the Happy Sloth.

Behemoth stared at him then blinked. So Rodan was right when he said you were "Busy." You two got back together! He said, with glee the suddenly frowned…..unless you lost to another bet again then I-

For Kaijus sake, Behemoth there was no bet!

Rodan stirred in his sleep. Keep it down, some of us are trying to sleep. He said, before snoring once again.

So is it official now? You two are together?

No, we're not back together, or together. We were never together in the first place, you idiot!

You don't have to be so rude about it. It's not my fault you're in denial. Behemoth said, calmly.

Well stop making it sound like we're some sort of couple. It's not like that.

….You just said the King caught you two…

And I got a good beat down for doing the unthinkable. Meth said, before shaking his head.

Come now, I highly doubt he would be THAT mad about you and Barb. I mean you would think he would be glad to have you distract her from...um….violent tendencies.

You weren't there! I woke up to see him staring down at me all tangled up with Barb. We've been good friends way before the "Big Sleep" and I helped him kill hundreds of those blasted Parasites only for him to realize I've been messing around with one? Oh and Barb really helped with the situation. Bragging about it to him and how that could've been HIM not me with her just to piss him off even more and right in front of the young Lad as well. The King tried to kill her…

Tried? Behemoth asked.

Methuselah huffed, trying very hard to stay calm. I stopped him.

Well that was very noble of you...So I take it you talked him out of it?

No...not exactly...more like I attacked him.

YOU WHAT?! Behemoth shouted, standing up from the pure shock and causing Rodan to faceplant the ground.

Rodan quickly sat up and spit out dirt. What just happened? He asked and began to rub the sleep out of his eyes.

You attacked him?! Methuselah, what were you thinking?!

He was going to kill her right in front of the hatchling. The Prince is not ready for that type of violence. Meth said, walking away. Completely done with the conversation.

The Lizard species are known to be harsh and violent especially towards parasites.

True and if she threw the first hit or went after the Prince, I would've backed off, but she didn't. There was no need to kill her just because she wouldn't shut that dirty mouth of hers. I saw the Prince and he looked horrified and you and I both know the last Muto the King killed was brutal.

Why are you walking away? Behemoth asked, following him.

I'm tired and I'm heading home to sleep while I still can. Chances are, she's going to return tonight. He said, looking back at Behemoth who was slowly giving him an amused look. What?

You don't seem very annoyed about that.

What do you mean?

Well, normally when you talk about the Muto invading your home, you don't seem happy about it. More annoyed than anything. I take it, not only did you work things out with her, you two came to a conclusion about this rather complicated relationship?

How many times do I have to tell you? There is no relationship.

Then what would you call it then? You two haven't seen each other in months, you told me yourself you were missing her. The first thing you two did after meeting up was have a night together. You protected her from certain death by the King-

Like I told the King, that night just happened. She tricked me. It won't happen again.

I don't know Meth, you have always been a strong one, brag about how controlled you are with your certain...needs and would never settle for Flings. Not to mention you express a lot of negativity towards her…

What's your point? Meth asked.

Behemoth wants to know why you're still screwing around with her if you hate her so much! Rodan shouted from afar.

Behemoth blushed in embarrassment, Rodan! Do you mind? He said, looking back at the fire demon.

What? It's not my fault you can't be blunt.

Rodan, go back to sleep. Methuselah demanded.

I will if you two would hurry up with this argument. Rodan said, before letting out a loud yawn. Oh and Methuselah, that whole "Never going to happen again" I've been down that road many, many times and trust me, it's just words.

Shut up before I knock you out! Methuselah said, only to get an eye rolled from the bird.

Now, Now, Meth, he does have a point no matter how rude he puts it. Behemoth said.

Well, you're both wrong. It's not going to happen again. He growled, no matter how much part of him wanted it too. He really needed to relieve some stress and seeing Barb as his solution just made him angry. He didn't know why. Kaiju knows Barb wouldn't think twice coming to him to use him for her own game.

If you say so, but when there's feelings involved.

No, I'm sure. Last thing I want is the King freaking out over another possibility of a parasite invasion. He wants to make sure Barb stays the last of her Kind. Do you have any idea how embarrassing that conversation was with him? Having him telling me if she gets pregnant, he would be conflicted to kill those eggs and her because they were sired by me?! Do you know how much respect I lost because of what I did? He couldn't even look at me when he left. And yet you stand here trying to convince me there's more? That there's feelings?

Methuselah, I know you and how you work. She challenges you in so many ways just like all the other females did in your life. If she wasn't that big of a deal, there would be no reason to want her back in your life in the first place. When are you going to see that for yourself? So what if she's a Parasite.

Methuselah snorted. I need to go and you have a bird that needs to be watched.

Alright, and by the way Methuselah, it's good to see your plants healthy and fully bloomed again. Behemoth said with a big grin. Knowing very well, healthy, lushes plants means Meth was in a happy state and in good health..

Methuselah growled while blushing in embarrassment. After all good fighting and good sex tends to make his plants bloom.

(Two days later)

Tell me again why we are doing this?

Not that Barb was complaining. It's not everyday Pebbles would ask her for a favor, it was the favor that threw her off a bit. He needed to exercise and needed some extra weight to give his muscles and mind a good workout. She thought it was ridiculous, but after a lot of moody pestering, she finally agreed. Beside with Scylla gone to keep the Bug Queen company, she had nothing better to do, but mess around with Pebbles.

(Look on the bright side. Pebbles said, with a smirk. We can finally put that Fat-ass of yours to good use.)

So there she was, keeping her balance on top of Pebbles' back while he power walked in the deep part of the ocean. The bright sun was hot today so the ocean view was sparkling. A nice change from Pebbles' open land home. The smell of salt water and his scent filled her nose, but for some reason something was triggering her senses. That "Gut Feeling" sense when something weird is about to happen. It was faint, but still noticeable and it was coming from the water. Interesting…

This is so boring...Barb said, shifting around a bit. Pebbles' back wasn't exactly comfortable. She could feel all of his trees and pointy peaks of his mountain jamming into her soft chest and belly.

Still Pebbles didn't say anything. He just continued on with his warm-up. Dunking his face underwater every minute to cool down his face. Ignoring her completely. To her, he looked downright frustrated about something.

She leaned down and bonked him on his head. Hello, I'm talking to you. She grins.

He stopped and tilted his head up a bit to look at her. And I'm ignoring you. I don't like to be disturbed while I'm doing my work-out.

That's kind of hard when I'm lying here on your back, don't you think? She asked.

I need the extra weight. Normally I'd ask Rodan, but he wasn't available.

Really, are you sure about that? She asked while tracing the outline of his left horn. And here I thought you just wanted me close.

His eye followed her claw as she slowly stroked his horn in a very seductive way. He swallowed and pulled his horn away from her reach. How else will you build muscle without extra weight to carry around? Being in the water also puts a little restraint on my body. Once I toss you off and get back on land I'll feel much lighter than before. He said as a matter of fact.

Hey if it's "exercise" you want, I can think of a better way to use that body of yours.

He stood up tall and proud. Nearly knocking off Barb in the process. THIS way helps the heart, improves your balance and coordination, helps you heal better from previous wounds and it's great for your mental health. You should try it, kaiju knows how badly damaged your mind is.

It's been two days and he was still feeling the soreness and aches from the fight with the King. Granted the King was rusty, but he could still pack a punch and whip from his tail. Not to mention, that blue beam can really drain a kaiju and keep you feeling like crap days later.

So snarky today. Did the King give you a spanking for fooling around with the big, bad parasite? She giggled playfully yet dark at the same time.

He growled. Barb, knock it off and be quiet. He asked, going back to his power walk.

You've been doing this for hours now, I'm bored.

Does it look like I care? He asked. It takes a lot of dedication, time and effort to keep me in shape.

Barb scoffed and shifted around again in an attempt to throw him off balance. It didn't work of course, just made him more irritated. I'm bored…

Yes, I know. You've been telling me since we started.

You don't understand when I'm bored, I start to think very dark and dirty thoughts and when I have those very dark and dirty thoughts….She said calmly while her claw snaked its way underwater and right between his legs... I just wanna go down and choke on that thing between your-

He threw her off his back before she could finish and watched her hit the water with a loud splash. She quickly sat up and started to laugh, but he didn't see the joke in it. He sighed. Let's take a break. He said, walking back to land.

Oh come on, Pebbles, that was funny...

It was a high afternoon and even after his workout, Meth still felt the tension and stress and he knew exactly why and it was lying down in the ocean while staring out at nothing in particular. It was like a chain reaction from all the events that happened to him in the last couple of days. The argument with the King made him frustrated and the words he exchanged with Behemoth the other day didn't help either. Of all the nerves of his Companion, thinking there was more between him and Barb just because he "slipped" that night and "protected" her from the King's wrath. That day after talking to Behemoth, he went home in a bad mood and actually stayed up that night, waiting for Barb to return. That part stunned him because before, he would just go to sleep hoping not to get a rude awakening from the parasite, but no, he actually stayed up...and waited. He wanted to punch himself the morning after that long and frustrated night because it accrued to him the reason he stayed up waiting for her was because he was actually...in the mood. Conflicted over whether it was her he wanted or just needed to blow off steam...it sure gave him a headache...

The silence was getting to him. It was not "Normal" for Barb to be this quiet. She looked like she was in some sort of deep trance by the way she was just staring out at the ocean. The sun's rays gave her back a nice shine where he could see the water droplets rolling off of her or tracing the many scars she had. The ones that really stuck out to him were the claw marks on each side of her hips. The ones he gave her from his deadly hold. He could still remember the hissing sound she made after his nails punctured her skin and drew blood….Focus…

Lost in thought, Pebbles. You look a little flustered. Barb asked, though she didn't turn away from the ocean.

He sneered at her before going back to his thoughts.

What's wrong with him? He couldn't believe the thought of having Barb again flew across his mind. The last two days were such a headache and a constant battle in his mind he lost sleep from it. The "Immature" part of him told him why fight it? He was a male. He got beaten down pretty badly. His pride and friendship with the King took a nasty hit and what better way to feel better than with a warm female. After all, he did have a female that would do anything to get him close to her. Yet, the Mature part of him wanted to slap him for even thinking of that idea. She was the root of all your problems, why go back to it? You gave your word to the King, it won't happen again. Do you really want to go through that vicious cycle knowing you're going to hate yourself the next day? Asking it from her is like giving up on this competitive game and saying she had full control of this relationship.

He huffed from his own words. Relationship. Now even he was calling it that. There was no relationship. At most they were Sparring Partners. They fight because he needed a challenge to keep himself in shape and she just wanted blood and violence.

(and Sex...you can't forget about the sex.) The Immature Side said.

(It was a "Slip" and it won't happen again) The Mature Side stated firmly.

(Yeah, yet we're staring at her and the scars we left on her rear. I bet when she sits up you can probably see the nail marks on her back from us pinning her down.)

(We gave the King's word. Do you really want him to see you in an awkward position again!)

He started to grind his nails into the dirt and took a deep breath. He needed to concentrate on something else that would help out his predicament.

Still ignoring me? How immature, Pebbles.

He snorted, Can't a guy just lie here and think without you bugging him every five minutes. He asked.

Thinking? More like pouting to me. I swear you suffer worse mood swings than a female.

Methuselah growled. Last thing he want is to be called the Weaker Sex because he was in a bad mood. A true insult to a male of his status. He glared at her.

What? She asked. Are You still mad because of the whole "King spanking you" joke I said.

He sighed. Speaking of the King. We need to talk about what happened the other day.

The Other day? About what? How I defeated you in your own game that night or that rather funny and very embarrassing confrontation you had with Fat-Ass? She asked, looking at him with a smirk.

First of all, you cheated...again during our spar.

I just kissed you on the mouth, Pebbles. I was hoping to draw blood for a tasty snack. You're the one that went all "Stiff" on me.

I went stiff because I told you before that affection like kissing is not allowed. He said.

We were fighting not having sex so I'm allowed to disobey rule number three. She said, before doing a quick search around her surroundings. Her senses were tingling again, something was off and she could feel it in her bones. Besides, after that little smooch and bantering we did, you're the one who pinned me to the ground.

Oh kaiju, I was trying to shut you up!

She laughed, You shut me up alright. I have to say getting some from you that night wasn't as challenging as before. Why do I have a feeling you were letting me win so you can enjoy yourself a very tasty treat without feeling so guilty about it?

He snorted angrily at her. We're getting off the subject. He said, feeling flushed. And would it kill you to speak to me in a more mature manner?

Why?

Well, it's the least you can do since I did save your Sorry Ass from the King. You're lucky his son was there. I would hate for the little Lad to be traumatized by seeing Parasite mush all over the ground.

Oh really, you spared my life for the sake of the little Bastard and here I thought you actually cared about me. Were you hoping that little rescue would make me change my ways, fall in love with you and bare your hatchlings? She said sarcastically.

He couldn't help, but smirk. Was that going through your mind when you were staring Death in the eyes? Scared you wouldn't live long enough to confess your undying love to me?

She laughed, while splashing water everywhere. And everyone thinks I'm sick and twisted. I hate to say it, Pebbles, I don't feel those types of emotions. It's not love I'm after, lust would be the appropriate word. It is so much easier to get.

I thought so as well, but when I saw that fear in your eyes when the King planted his foot on your chest….well, I guess I was wrong. You do have other senses of emotions than anger, madness and as you say...lust.

Hey, don't look so deep into it. I was pissed because he was going to kill me over stuff that hasn't even happened and never will. You would think he has other things better to do than worry about me having eggs. Like I would really let that happen.

He frowned from her harsh words and might as well ask. So when you were screaming at the King about how you hated hatchlings and even went as far as killing your own…

What? You thought I was lying about that?

Part of me was hoping I was wrong. Don't you think that was a bit extreme and I thought you Breeders live for that stuff. To have eggs over and over again til the day they die. That's the only thing typical females do in their lives.

What's with all this shit about eggs anyway? Afraid I might be carrying because you didn't have the balls to pull out? She asked, getting annoyed.

You are not the only one who got a firm talking to about eggs….He said, letting his eyes trail down to that firm pouch right below her stomach. Glad to see it wasn't swollen with hundreds of glowing eggs...or one lone calf since that's what his Kind have. The thought of her carrying something Sired by him did cross his mind a few times since he was never careful with his release. He figured since his Kind gave birth and her Kind laid eggs there was no way they were compatible. He recalled never being careful with his last girlfriend for the same reason and nothing happened with her. But this time was different….the King said although he would regret it, he wouldn't hesitate to destroy your eggs and you if it did happen and he might kill me as well. He didn't say it flat out, but I know he would for my stupidity and impulsive.

Pebbles calm down. It's not going to happen. You think I want to end up like my brother and sister. Have my head blown off or impaled. Trust me-

-I don't-

-And I don't care if you do, but I've been with a lot of males...a lot of males…

He cringed from her words. Making him wonder why he would feel a sexual attraction towards her knowing there were many suitors before him. Granted he had girlfriends, but they weren't Flings like the ones she would brag about, or cheat with or whatever. He actually took his relationships with his females seriously till of course, they grew tired of him not wanting to commit and settle down. Barb just sees males as her "Fun" time till she gets bored and moves on to the next one. A bit of an insult on him since he was now her "Fun" and sooner or later will be tossed away as well. You would think that would make him happy yet-

...and not once did it happen. As for the ones that come from eggs, I made sure to stay away from them during my breeding cycle.

Wow, you just have everything figured out, don't you? He asked sarcastically.

She smirked before rolling her shoulders and giving her body a little shake to get the blood flowing through her body. Lying down for a long period of time made her legs sleepy. Turning her back on him, she arched her back up as high as she can go, hearing the dull clicks of her spikes popping from the curvy posture. Meth's compelling eyes went back to the claw marks on her hips and even the ones on her long, slender legs. Stupid Parasite, he knew what she was trying to do. She was trying to present herself in order to get a reaction out of him.

Sore? He asked, gripping the ground with his claws to prevent him from doing something he'll regret.

Riding on your back wasn't exactly comfortable. Plus, I just love showing you how flexible I can be for a "Fat-Ass."

He couldn't help, but chuckle from her snarky remark. I have to say this is probably the most quiet conversation we've ever had. He pointed out with calm amusement.

It's not out of kindness, I'm just saving my energy. While you were busy moping around and asking questions, I've been sensing something off.

Sensing something off?

Yeah, like something is on its way. An unwanted guest or bad weather or something. I'm sure you get that feeling from time to time.

If I did, our little meet-ups or you invading my home would be minimum. He said, being a smart-ass.

Oh shut up. I know you love it when I invade your home.

You don't know nothing, parasite. He said, looking away.

You may be strong, Pebbles, but lying isn't one of your strong points. Your trees are more convincing than your words.

He huffed. Let's change the subject. Are you really trying to harm the young Prince or was that just another joke in order to piss the King off. He asked while getting up from his spot. Very pleased to feel his water workout was a success. His muscle felt strong yet light which will take stress off his joints. He was old, nearly up there with Behemoth and since there wasn't much action around like there was before the "Big Sleep '' staying in shape was getting harder and harder to complete. Behemoth once told him he was going through the same situation when he woke up, but now that he had a rowdy companion and a young girlfriend around to keep him on his toes, he was feeling like his youthful self again.

And if I was? Barb asked, calmly. Her attention once again scanning the ocean for some imaginary Being.

He slowly walked over to her, keeping his eyes focused on the scars on her back. If you value your life so much, why would you want to do such a thing?

She giggled. He took my eye so that gives me every right to return the favor.

You tried to seduce him, everyone knows the King doesn't like to be touched. You wouldn't take "No" for an answer so he had to blow one of your eyes out. I think you're just mad because of the rejection, you need to take it out of something more defenseless. He lifted his paw up and used his nail to trace the scars on her back. You should leave him alone, it's not a smart move to go after an Alpha's hatchling.

This has nothing to do with you, Pebbles. What goes on between me and Fat-ass is none of your business.

She let out a sharp roar when he grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her head back hard while his other paw gripped her tender throat. Falling flat on her rear, she felt her back pressed hard against his solid chest, his strong hind legs holding them up from falling backwards. She felt his mouth hovering over her right shoulder and his warm breath hitting her wet skin. I'm very loyal to the King, Barb and if you try to hurt the young Prince, I won't hesitate to kill you.

Despite a mere move away from being killed, she let out a gagging laugh. You wouldn't.

He dug his thick claws into her throat, but made sure not to pierce her skin. Wanna bet? One quick slash across your throat and you'll be left all alone bleeding to death.

If you really wanted to kill me, Pebbles, you would've done it already. Your threats won't change my agenda.

True. He huffed then started to nibble on her shoulder which made her flinch. But I know you and how you think and I know exactly what it takes to change your mind. He said, and was about to bite down on her shoulder when Barb's shoulder propped up and hit his lower jaw hard. His teeth made a loud click and he pulled away from her.

Denied. She said with a wicked smile.

Something in his mind scratched. Denied?

I'll give you credit for that rather violent flirtation, but that doesn't mean you're getting anything, Pebbles. She said, rubbing her throat.

You...are denying...Me? He said rather slowly to make sure he was hearing things right. This parasite who would use every chance to talk dirty to him, flirt with him, tease him and even go as far as groping him when he's distracted is denying him?

Sure why not? After all, maybe I don't want you to break that little promise to Fat-Ass. "It won't happen again, You have my word" She mocked even going as far as copying his "Weird" voice.

Your honor is about as weak and pointless as maggots. You're toying with me, aren't you?

Is it pissing you off? She asked with a grin. Oh yeah she was toying with him. There were only two things Barb loved besides herself. Sex and violence and the roles were switch now. He wanted to play, but she wanted violence first. He stayed calm. Challenge accepted.

He shrugs, If you want me to fight for it, forget it. I don't play those immature games. When a female "denies" it, I take a step back. Too bad for you, I was actually in the mood for….

He bit the inside of his cheek from saying the last word because part of him couldn't believe he was the one trying to get her to submit.

Well that's no fun. It's better when you're angry and frustrated and watching you beat yourself up from losing to me over and over again. How about this, tell me you want me and I'll do whatever you want. Or beg, I just want to see you squirm.

He was suddenly right in her face with their snouts touching. Why are you so infuriating? Why must everything be a fight?

She smirks. Because I just love watching a strong male like yourself break down from my dangerous charm. She said, licking her mouth. You're such a sore loser.

Yeah, but this "Loser" knows how to make you be a Good Girl. He whispered back before closing the gap between their mouths. She didn't resist. Tongues came out for a taste, but it didn't last long when Barb delivered a painful bite. Meth hissed and pulled away from her as he started to taste blood in his mouth.

He growled as he watched Barb lick his blood off her mouth before swallowing. Delicious…

He spits. That was a mistake.

If you're so mad, why not do something about it? She said, darkly while backing away from him till she was half way deep in the ocean. From the looks of it, she was trying to escape knowing very well he can't follow her. While he can swim, he can only do it for a short period of time since his heavy, mountain rock made it impossible to stay afloat and didn't want to risk drowning. At this point he could just let her leave, the Mature part of him wanted her to leave, but she was challenging him and he was once again compelled to take it. With that in mind, he attacks, tackling her backwards with a fierce pounce. He could actually hear the wind being knocked out of her as she fell hard on her back with a huge splash. Instead of aggression or profanity from the Parasite, Meth instead heard her giggle. That evil, "The dumbass fell for my trap" giggle complete with her red eyes glowing bright.

Adventurous, I never thought water was a little kink to you. She said, shifting around to get comfortable. Feeling her spike seep deep into the soft sand and the waves hitting her sides.

He snorted then smirked. Well unlike you, I had my fair share with a Lizard Kaiju and she was the one into "Water Games." He then covered her mouth with his paw. Now, no talking...unless it's my name coming out of your mouth. He said, pulling his paw away. The stubborn female calls him everything, but his actual name, but she will eventually.

You've been with a Lizard...wow...trying to make me jealous or something?

You should be. That was one amazing female, complete opposite of you in every way.

Yet, she's nothing more than a pile of bones and you have me on my back with my legs spread out. Barb said with a smirk. Her right eye flickers as a way to wink at him.

That struck a chord since it was true. I hate you...He whispered and can't figure out why he likes her just as much.

Feeling is mutual, Pebbles. How about you show me how much you hate me or are you just going to whine all day like a little Bitc-

She lost her voice when he bit her hard on her right shoulder, digging his teeth deep into her flesh while gripping her sides tight with his nails. At the corner of her eye she could see the blue water turn red from his fierce bite wound. That got things going for him, she could feel his erection coming out, settling itself right on her sweet spot and waiting for her permission to thrust right in. She wanted to scream, but kept her mouth shut and waited for his teeth to release her. He gripped her tighter and started to swirl his tongue on the raw wound. A sharp moan escaped her mouth, getting flustered by his teasing game. Before she was compelled to call out his name she quickly gave his right horn a good yank.

Meth let her shoulder go and gave it a tender lick before lifting his head up so he could hover over her. Dark red ribbons of blood started to form on the surface of the water around them, floating around before blending in with the ocean. He grins, showing off his blood-stained teeth,

That's for biting my tongue.

She pants, the wound already stinging from the salt. Do it again…Ending the sentence with a quiet "I want you."

I don't see why not, you might as well get as much out of it now since this will be the last time. He said, though it felt like he was telling himself that more than her. One last time, one last fix and that's it. No more with the Parasite no matter how pleasurable it's been. If he wanted to rebuild a bond with the King again, he needed to stop this arrangement and show her they're nothing other than sparring partners.

She smirked, showing her fangs. Keep telling yourself that. You said that the other night and the last time we were together. Why is it so hard for you to admit you're enjoying the sex way too much to quit. You may hate me, but when it's dark, you can't keep your claws off of me.

He sneered and gripped her shoulders hard to hold her steady. Stop talking….He whispered harshly to her as he positioned himself to take her just like so many times before. Already he can feel that burning heat coming off of her, making the water warm between them. All he wanted now was to see her face clench tight from his powerful thrust. The satisfying win feeling from seeing her so tamed once he's deep, deep inside and was about to enter her when she growled and kicked him hard in the stomach. Nearly hitting him in his weak spot. It didn't hurt much, but it was enough to snap him out of his lustful trance to let her go. She quickly flipped herself over and picked herself up from the floor. taking a step deeper in the water and she growled to the point drool was leaking out of her mouth. He was going to say something snarky, but noticed the sudden mood change in her. What's wrong? He asked, getting up as well. A little peeved from the sudden interruption.

Something's off. I can feel it.

He stood next to her and scanned his surroundings. Are you sure, I don't see anything.

Are you calling me a liar?

Well, you are, so…

I'm telling you, my senses are never wrong. She said, only to hiss when she moved her shoulder a bit. Shit Pebbles, how deep did you bite me? She asked, while leaning down to wash the blood off her wound.

I'd seen you with worse wounds than this-

His mouth closed tight when something huge flew out of the water right in front of them. At first he thought it was the King, surprising him with another visit and to make sure he was on his best behavior, but when the water rained down on them, it was actually another kaiju staring down at them. A sea-dragon with purple scales, bright blue fins and glowing angry yellow eyes. It started to growl, showing off its' shape teeth while its' fins fluttered as an intimidation tactic. He forgot how tall sea-dragons can be since it's been a long time since his last encounter with one. He thought all of them were killed off during the False King's invasion so long ago. Yet, it was only a rumor, it's not like he took his time going underwater to see for himself, so despite the Sea-dragon's aggressive approach it was nice to see there were still more Kaijus out there.

Until the Sea-dragon spoke.

Barb….The female sea-dragon hissed.

He was then elbowed in the arm by Barb who had this winning grin on her face. See I told you I was sensing something off...

He happened to look down to see something moving underwater and over to Barb and realize it was the sea-dragon's Fin-like tail. It was so quick, he didn't have time to warn his Parasite Nuisance and watch the tail coil around Barb's legs. They were then pulled out from underneath her causing her to spit out a loud squeak. Barb fell on her side before being tossed away to the deeper part of the ocean. The Sea-dragon was so fast that her mouth, those sharp teeth, were right on Barb's throat before Barb could collect her thoughts and was taken down below, leaving nothing behind as if Barb was never here.

All went quiet and after a few seconds, Meth finally blinked. Barb?

He expected her to pop out of the water with the Sea-dragon's head in her mouth and make a sly remark about the whole thing, but after a couple of minutes she has yet to appear. He quickly ran over to the spot where she was taken and dipped his head under to see if they were close by. While always considering himself perfect when it comes to his health and appearance, part of him hated the fact he didn't have clear vision underwater. Kaijus like the King, Scylla and Barb can see clearly while to him, it's nothing, but a blur. Still, he may not see very well in the water, it shouldn't be that hard to spot something black or purple. He looked around and didn't see anything.

Barb? He called out, sending bubbles everywhere.

He pulled his head out and huffed moody. Who did Barb pissed off this time?

00000000

~The story starts when it was hot and it was summer

And, I had it all I had him right there where I wanted him

She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause

She took him faster than you could say sabotage.

I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it

I underestimate just who I was dealing with

She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum

She underestimated just who she was stealing from…~

As soon as they were deep underwater, Tiamat didn't waste time wrapping her long body around Barb, making sure her sharp scales pierce every part of the parasite's flesh for a nice, tight hold. With a powerful spin, a strong current was made, sending them deeper and deeper down where there was barely any light. It took everything in her power not to snap the Parasite's head for a quick kill because Tiamat wanted her to suffer. She wanted Barb to beg for her life and feel horrible for killing her King's heirs. Part of her wished Barb was carrying eggs, the sweetness she would feel hitting her over and over in the belly till nothing came out, but blood and egg mush. Yet she wasn't, but that's fine, there are other ways to inflict pain. She's been with her One and Only for so long and witnessed the brutality they inflicted on other kaijus it was natural for her to pick up a few things. Hell, she killed many of their Wannabe Mates just to make sure she was Ichi's only Purple Darling. Down and down they went and she was surprised Bard didn't move or try to fight back. In fact it looked like she was scanning her surroundings, trying to figure out where she was taking her and why.

Barb looked back to see a large field of pointy rocks and a giant trench getting closer and closer by the second. Shit, she thought only to have her back crash against the rocks, feeling a sharp snapping sound coming from her spine. A cloud of dirt and pebbles coated their surroundings that it was hard for Barb to see, but she had other issues to figure out. The hit to her back left her feeling numb from the waist down and the impact made the sea-dragon's scales dig deeper into her skin.

It's been awhile hasn't it Barb? The Sea-dragon said sadistically through the dirt cloud.

It was hard for Barb to breathe, but alas she inhaled as much as possible and put on a toothy smile. Do I know you? She asked.

A strong force cleared the dirt away to reveal a very annoyed Tiamat. How dare that Bitch not remember her. You pitiful disgusting thing. Have you ruined so many lives, you can't remember all of them! She growled.

Barb's eyes flicker. It's not that I don't remember, I just don't care. Barb said, I've been in battles with a lot of sea-dragons so you'll need to be a little more specific. Did I eat your eggs?

Tiamat's eye twitched…

Were you the one whose Mate I slept with because in my defense he said you were boring and needed some better experience. Or were you the one I stole food from? Or were you the one that-

Tiamat bashed her head against Barb's causing Barb's mouth and snout to bleed. Still Barb remained calm and couldn't help, but smirk. That headbutt was nothing compared to Pebbles' blows to the head. She knew sea-dragon were a lot stronger than that which made her believe the female was holding back, making her bleed to get her complete undivided attention. Oh this should be good.

Tiamat stared down at her, Shut up. Oh hell, don't you ever shut up! Perhaps I should hug you a little TIGHTER to jog that memory of yours. Tiamat hissed and tightened her hold on Barb. Barb let out a low gagging noise while watching little ribbons of blood floating above from her cuts. You may not remember me, I surely remember you. That horrible day I regret targeting you for food. That look on your face when you mock me with the sad news of my One and Only's demise. What the Lizard and the Bug did was horrible and I will make them pay eventually, but YOU! She sneered right in Barb's face.

The memory of those painful kicks and hits to her belly by the parasite played in her mind. The mental thoughts of death being better than this as she pushed her damaged eggs out of her. Her stomach was so raw, tender and bruised it made the contractions and pushing so unbearable. She nearly passed out from all the blood she lost during her egg laying and worst of all, she was all alone. The only thing that kept her going was her One and Only's honor. If they were truly gone, she wanted to make sure there was something of them left in this world. She couldn't lose her eggs, if she lost them than her Alpha, her love would truly be gone,….but she did lose them….

What you did is unforgivable! You killed my Offsprings! Kicked me repeatedly in the stomach and forced me to deliver damaged eggs! You killed the Heirs of my True King! My Love! My One and Only!

Then it finally clicked and Barb couldn't help, but laugh. Oh, now I remember! You were that Concubine that tried to kill me for food. She laughed even harder. I can't believe you interrupted my fun for something this pointless.

Tiamat sideswipe Barb in the face leaving tiny thin cuts all over her face. She grabbed hold of Barb's head with her teeth, lifting her out of her constricted hug before body slamming her down against the pointy rocks. Tiamat wanted Barb to scream for mercy, but instead the parasite continued to laugh. POINTLESS! You think killing my hatching had no meaning! Tiamat screams before wrapping her tail around Barb's neck. She was not going to give the Parasite time to attack or fight back as she rammed Barb's body into the nearest tiny seamount. The seamount collapsed right on top of Barb sending a cloud of dirt and bits everywhere. Little sea creatures fled for their lives, sensing the terror Tiamat was pulsing in the ocean. No problem for her though, they'll be back to pick at the parasite's dead body for food. She floated over to the pile of rock, waiting for Barb to make her appearance. There was no way that would've killed Barb, parasites at that level and form are hard to kill, but at least the laughter stopped. She swam up when she saw the top of Barb's back emerging out of the rubble followed by her beat up face.

Barb snorted red colored bubbles from her snout and smirked. Is that the best you can do? She asked as she struggled to pull the rest of her body out of the debris.

I'm just getting started. Tiamat said. I want you to bleed and hurt just like I did.

Oh darling, I don't know why you put this all on me. If you actually think about it, I did you a favor. Our Fat-ass King would've killed you and those Bastard eggs. At least I let you live-Barb said only to flinch when Tiamat came after her. She tried to swim away only to wince from a sharp pain coming from her leg. Damn….was the only thing she could get out of her mouth before she was pinned to the floor by Tiamat's body. When she collided with the seamount, she must've twisted her leg from the nasty landing.

They were not bastard eggs, you disgusting pile of pus! She screamed while wrapping her tail around Barb's neck again. They were destined to be the next Rulers. I did everything to make sure they were taken care of, but no, thanks to you, they were dead eggs. Just rotting Stillborns in those damaged shells!

They were destined to die just like the Fallen Star. At least they weren't burnt to a crisp like they were. The King made sure there was nothing left of them, but dust. He actually had the middle Head begging for his life before he delivered the final blow. I should know, I saw the whole thing from a far distance. Oh I never thought I would hear such a Powerful Being scream in so much pain.

Shut UP! Tiamat shouted while banging the back of Barb's head against the rocks. The laughter started again and if she didn't know better, it looked like Barb was actually enjoying it.

There you go again, disgracing the True King!

Riiight , if you were soooo loyal as you claim to be. Where were you when they escaped the ice? When I saw him, he had that pesky little Fire Demon by his side, everywhere he went the bird was with him. You would think he would want his Love by his side after so long. The King and Queen didn't waste time getting back together to stop that Fiend. If they really loved you, why didn't they seek you out. We were all woken up by their Alpha Calling, yet they left you behind without a second thought…

She threw Barb away from her again so she didn't have to listen to her words. The parasite was trying to fill her head again with nonsense. Her One and Only had a Lizard to fight, there was no time for them to seek her out though she did wonder why they would instantly grab another Beta. Stop talking, you don't know anything about them! They loved me. She said, looking over at Barb who floated up so she didn't put any weight on her leg.

Sure they did, that's why they had a different female in their nest. Barb said with a grin, not even caring there was blood seeping out of her cuts and wounds. You were nothing, but a "Warm Hole" to pound.

Isn't that what all the males in this world call you? Tiamat said in a snarky tone.

I'm just doing what Breeders do best. In fact, if I really wanted to, I would've seduced the Fallen Star and have them serve you as my next meal.

The insult caused Tiamat's decorative fins and scales to flare up. Preparing herself to attack again.

Barb just laughed. What? Are you going to attack me again? Do it. I dare you. I love the feeling of violence and pain. Torture me all you want, but you'll never hear me beg for mercy so you might as well kill me or quit! She said, trying to sike her out with her manipulative ways. A good way to distract her while she figures out a way out of this mess. She won't be able to swim away fast with her leg not working so she would need to find a weak spot and go for it. Last time, the whore was Carrying, but now she was vengeful and a vengeful female is an unstoppable one.

Tiamat stared at her, particularly at the bite mark on her shoulder. All the tossing around reopened the wound and it was bleeding heavily. She didn't make that mark and to most Mates, that was the sign of ownership and it made her think about the male that was with her when she found her. The wise words of Ichi came to mind. If you want your Rivals to suffer, a Smart Ruler attacks neither body or mind, they attack the heart. Why do you think we go after Alpha's mates and younglings? So we can break them before the quick kill.

You're right, parasite. I seem to underestimate you and your way of thinking. Tiamat said, floating over to Barb who didn't move. It's obvious you're not afraid to die and there's no point hurting you if it does nothing, but make you laugh.

Wow, you think you know me so well, huh? Barb asked.

Tiamat got right into Barb's face again, letting all four of her large whiskers caress her facial features before gliding them down to her shoulders. Paying very close attention to the raw bite mark. You may not value your life, but tell me, do you value that male mountain kaiju's life? You said I interrupted something going on….I never thought a Parasite like you would have something so...precious.

Barb let out a loud snort and chuckled, Pebbles...precious? You think his bite wound is some sort of Mark. You're even dumber than I thought. He's just a "Play Thing"

Oh really, do you really think I'm that stupid? Tiamat asked.

Yes.

She growled, Well then if he doesn't mean anything to you, then you wouldn't mind me going up there and having a word with him, if you know what I mean. She said, grinning. The same grin Barb would do when she's about to kill.

If you want to do that, Tiamat, be my guest. He might not mean anything to me, but a certain part of him does and I need him alive in order for it to function. She threatened. Do you really want to take that risk?

Like you could stop me. Tiamat sneered. You took away something I love, now it's time to return the favor whether he's your Lover or not. Now I'm going to be nice and let you live so you can see his corpse rot in this beautiful ocean. She sneered. Using the same words Barb told her long ago. Remembering the way the Parasite walked away while she shivered on the ground in pain.

As an added insult, Tiamat brushed Barb's chin with her large fins on her tail making Barb growled before biting down paper-thin appendage. Digging her feet and claws into the dirt for support, Barb pulled Tiamat back while gnawing on her tail. Not even caring the scales were cutting the inside of her mouth. Tiamat hissed and tackled Barb on her side to try to free her tail. Barb didn't waste time shredding her fin apart into tadder ribbons in order to sabotage her swimming ability.

Let go! Tiamat screeched, before biting Barb's in the arm. With one powerful spin, she twisted her arm hard enough to hear it snap loudly.

Fuck! Barb shouted, releasing Tiamat's tail. She was then headbutted in the face again, filling the water with fresh blood.

You need to settle down. Tiamat said, opening her mouth as wide as possible.

Next thing Barb knew, bright yellow acid shot out of Tiamat's mouth, hitting her directly in her battered face. The feeling of her skin burning didn't compare to her eyes stinging and losing her sight by the second. The last thing she saw was Tiamat swimming towards her before everything went black.

~She's not a saint and she's not what you think

She's an actress, whoa

She's better known for the things that she does

On the mattress, whoa

Soon she's gonna find

Stealing other people's toys on the playground

Won't make you many friends

She should keep in mind

She should keep in mind

There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha!~

~Better than revenge by Taylor Swift

Methuselah jumped when he spotted Barb's beat-up body appearing on the surface of the water. Floating around like it was a dead carcass. He waited for some sort of movement or her smartass mouth, but instead he got dead silence.

Barb? What's going on? Are you going to tell me what feud you have with that sea-dragon or just float there and attract bugs?

Silence.

He walked over to her only to have his sly grin grow even more when he noticed the wounds all over her body and the smell of fresh blood. Oh my, did that Sea-Dragon get the best of you?

Still silence on Barb's end, but she was finally moving a bit. It wasn't till she made a painful moan when Meth's grin vanished.

Barb?

She struggled to get up only to collapse on her side due to her injured arm. Dammit. She whispered. I think that Bitch broke my arm.

Then Meth noticed the burn skin around her face and her swollen eyes. Barb didn't dodge the sea-dragon's toxic spit. A defense attack to blind their opponents or prey. Very effective, but luckily temporary as well. Still, a very painful position to experience. He took a quick look at her arm. No she didn't. Dislocate it from what I'm seeing. Your face looks terrible.

She started to rub her eyes, hoping it would help with the acid, but all she could see was smudged colors and it was making her eyes watered from the intense sting. Don't sound so concerned, Pebbles, I know you're enjoying the sight of me being beaten down.

He couldn't help, but chuckle a little because she was yelling in the wrong direction. I'm over here, Sweetheart. He joked.

I can't see and with my snout swollen my sense of smell is off. Barb said, trying to sniff out his scent.

He shook his head. Can you stand?

My arm is injured and my leg is sprained so no, Smartass. She spat.

Hey! Don't get upset because you had some feud with that Sea-dragon. Be glad she just beat the crap out of you and let you live.

No, she was hoping to use my beat-up body as bait in order to trap you. She said, calmly.

Wait what? Meth asked.

Yeah, for some reason she thinks in order to hurt me is to kill you. Dumb bitch, I swear. By the way, how long can you hold your breath?

A few things crossed Methuselah's mind at that moment. Barb was badly hurt and just used him as a way to escape. He was neck deep in water and basically in the Sea-dragon's playing field and could now see the said sea-dragon heading towards them in record breaking speed.

Tiamat flew out of the water, her mouth wide open, ready to spray her acid while letting out a battle war cry. Meth instincts kicked in and he shoved Barb out of the way before Tiamat could collide against her. The muscles in his left arm bulge from him flexing out his claws. With his hooves buried deep in the water to steady himself, he lifted his claws up and grabbed hold of Tiamat's throat before she could tackle him. The force of the two Kaijus parted the ocean for a second, creating large waves around them. Tiamat's acid spattered out in huge droplets, dripping down on Meth in the face, but didn't get his eyes. Small trails of smoke begin to appear all over his face due to the acid killing his plants.

She hissed. Her yellow eyes glowing bright in rage as she tried to bite him.

Lady, get a hold of yourself. He shouted and threw her away from him and Barb.

Tiamat skidded across the water before sinking back underwater with a loud splash. Meth hissed and looked down at his paw. The purple scales on her neck left tiny, thin cuts all over his palm and it was only noticeable thanks to the salt water, but he'll live. He had other things to worry about than minor cuts. He turned around to see Barb trying so hard to wash the acid out of her eyes, her injured arm curled up tight against her side and she was bleeding from the neck. Barb, what the hell did you do or say to her?

I didn't say anything. It was that fucking bite mark you left on my shoulder that made you a target. Barb shouted in a different direction again.

I'm right here! He spat, grabbing her by the head and forcing her to look at him. His eyes quickly examine the wound he inflicted. Still raw, fresh and bleeding as they speak. And what are you talking about?

She thinks we're "Mates" Barb said calmly.

He took a step back, What!?

They were interrupted when Tiamat appeared again with four deep stab wounds on her neck. Turing her beautiful purple scales to a dark burgundy color. She sneered. Such a fool to protect a monster like her.

You're attacking the wrong kaiju, Sea-dragon. I was protecting myself. Whatever grudge you have with Barb is only between you two. Leave me out of it. Meth demanded.

You can blame your lover there for your untimely death, Mountain one. Tiamat hissed before going after him.

He took a few steps back, ramming into a blind Barb and pulling her in front of him. I don't know what Barb told you, I'm not her Mate or Lover, so back off!

Lovers. Fuck Buddies. Barb said with a smirk. It's all the same.

Barb, this is not the time for your smart mouth! Methuselah growled. Seriously, the female is blind and immobile and she still wants to make snide remarks. Has she learned nothing after their encounter with the King?

She took something Precious from me. Now I'm going to take away the one thing that means the most to her! Tiamat screamed.

Methuselah huffed, what in the world did he do wrong in his life for all this to happen? First the night with Barb, then getting busted by the King and now this. Does he have a target on his ass he's not aware of? So lost in thought, he didn't see Tiamat coming towards him again only to have Barb jump right in front of him. A large wave splashed in his face and he quickly shook his head to see the two females fighting brutally. Barb, despite being hurt and blind, had her mouth tightly glued on Tiamat's throat. Adding teeth holes to his claw wounds. Tiamat lifted herself up to the point Barb was lifted off her feet and out of the water. That only made her bite Tiamat's throat harder, feeling those sharp scales cutting her cheeks and the inside of her mouth. Meanwhile, Tiamat was swaying her body around in an attempt to pry Barb's off of her, even going as far as slamming Barb down to the ground and dragging her around, but the parasite refused to let go. She lifted herself up as high as she could go and slammed Barb down to the ground again. Barb loosen her grip, giving Tiamat a chance to pull away, leaving two deep cuts on her throat. The sea-dragon hissed and tail whipped Barb in the face before head-butting her in the stomach. Giving Barb a taste of pain of being hit in the belly. She rammed her head into Barb's stomach a few more times till she saw Barb coughing up blood. She aimed her Barb's flat pouch, intended to rip it open and pull out her reproductive parts, but was kicked hard in the jaw. She was then kicked in the throat followed by getting slapped in the face, forcing her to pull back. Tiamat was getting frustrated, no matter how many blows she inflicted on Barb, the awful parasite refused to beg for her life or even cry out in pain. Instead Barb just laid there, halfway underwater, blinded and bleeding everywhere, while trying to catch her breath. A small smile formed on the Parasite's bloody mouth, the shine of her broken purple scales could be seen embedded in Barb's mouth.

She was suddenly grabbed by the tail and she looked back to see the Mountain One using his teeth to pull her away from the badly beaten parasite. He was a strong one she thought to herself as she was tossed like it was no big deal and landed in the deep part of the ocean.

You owe me big time, Barb. Methuselah said while trying to help her up. The fact that Barb got between him and the Sea-dragon earned some form of thank you even if Barb didn't do that to save him. Now get up!

She couldn't help, but smirk from all this. For what? I didn't ask for your help. While I was getting beat up, you had the opportunity to walk away. She spits out blood, Now you're going to die because you wanted to play "Hero."

Shut up, keep your mouth shut before I just leave you-

Tiamat came out of the water again, literally hovering over him before swooping down to grab hold of his left horn. She yanked it hard, twisting his neck in an uncomfortable position and forcing him off balance. He took a few steps back away from Barb while feeling the sea-dragon's body wrapping itself around him. Dirty cheap shot, he thought while trying to pull Tiamat off of him. Scratching anything with purple scales with his claws. He could feel her razor scales chiseling away at his rock-texture skin while constricting him tighter and tighter. Her tail curled around his legs, roping them together and causing him to trip over his own feet. He fell on his side and the next thing he knew he was being dragged to the deeper part of the ocean. It finally clicked what she was trying to do. She was going to drown him, which made sense to him. Thanks to his armor, she can't cut him with her teeth. Suffocating him would be difficult as well since she was basically trying to crush a thick rock with no success so the best she can do now is drown him. He can't breathe underwater like Barb and if she gets him deep enough it would be impossible to swim back up due to his weight.

He growled and rolled himself onto his back, and pulled her away from his horn. Holding her by the throat again, he lifted her up as far as possible to keep her from biting down on his horns again only to see her hissed. Her mouth quickly opened and he was sprayed in the face with her acid. He quickly turned to the right and felt his left eye burning and blurring up and he roared. Out of pure frustration, he backhanded her in the face causing her to fly back. The acid was horrible and tried to wipe it out of his face. With his right eye bruised from the fight with the King and the other one now blinded by poison, it was going to be hard for him to calculate his next move. He didn't have "Senses" like Barb or the King, he needed his sight in order to fight. His body began to move and he realized he was being dragged by the legs. They were still "tied up" by her tail. He grabbed hold of the soft sand to prevent her from taking him, but couldn't get a good grip since the sand was underwater so he went after her tail. It was a struggle since he couldn't see so he started thrashing around in hopes she would lose her grip on him. She was completely under water when he felt a strong riptide sucking him under as well. The sea-dragon knew how to control the currents and she was using it as her last ditch effort to take him down. He felt his muscle and joints spasming, waking up from the beat-down he received from the King a couple of days ago, as he was pulled deeper and deeper underwater. He tried not to panic, that will just make things worse as he grabbed whatever he can to keep himself above. His blurry eyes darted over to Barb, but he couldn't tell what she was doing. Everything was just blotchy spots and shapes. His stubborn pride refuses to call out to her for help, like she would really help him, most likely smiling and chuckling from seeing him-

Tiamat gave his tied up legs a painful pull and he plummeted underwater before he could take a breath. The water all around him felt like it was spinning as he was pulled deeper and deeper in the cold ocean. The heavy weight of his mountain rock made him sink so fast, he surpassed Tiamat and forced her to let him go. He was suddenly rammed in the stomach forcing the last bit of air he had out of his mouth before crashing at the bottom of the ocean. He opened his eyes only to see colors of blue and greens all around him. There was still light so he wasn't too deep like he thought he was, but still...he was losing air and couldn't see clearly enough to figure out which way to the surface. Not to mention, through his bruised eye he could see a dark shadow swimming above him. No doubt it was the Sea-Dragon watching and waiting for him to drown. He could actually hear the muffled laughter coming from her.

The memories of being underwater crossed his mind as he pulled himself up and tried to swim to the surface. Back then when he wanted to join Ceres in the deep ocean even she had her doubts about it. Mountain Kaijus were not meant for the ocean, Methuselah. She said to him with a smirk. But he wanted to try, learn a new skill and prove her wrong. He could swim, but eventually after a minute or two, he would sink. As strong as his muscles in his arms were, his mountain back would just make him sink. He recalled asking Ceres how her Kind were able to swim around with ease since they were just as big and heavy as Mountain Kaijus which was rewarded with a slap in the face. Lizards aren't overly fond of the "Fat Jokes." He shook his head, going down memory lane did distract him from the lack of air which was something his Sire taught him long ago. Keep your mind calm and don't panic.

Ignoring the Sea-dragon he begins to peddle up towards the light. He didn't care how far he was from the shoreline, he just needed to breathe. He kicked his short hind legs as fast as he could while using his arms to peddle, but the weight was already getting to him. He can already feel himself falling back. A few more bubbles escaped from his snout and he could feel and hear his heart beating in sheer panic. He was suddenly pushed to the ground again by Tiamat with her landing on top of him.

Don't struggle. I want to see the look on your face when that last bit of air leaves your mouth. She hissed. Though Meth didn't understand a word she said since water kaijus have their own unique sense of hearing.

Something crashed into Tiamat which made her collide into him and through his blurry vision he could see something black wrapping itself around Tiamat's back.

I told you I don't like Bitches touching my things! Barb hissed and began to rip and tear Tiamat's colorful fins with her teeth.

Tiamat started to spin around, trying to reach for Barb while watching pieces of her fins and blood float around her. You can't win! You filthy Parasite. So why don't you give up and die along with your Precious "Thing."

Ignoring the females, Meth took the chance to peddle his way to the surface again. Nearly getting hit by the craziness of Barb and the Sea-Dragon.

Tiamat's tail shot up and wrapped itself around Barb's neck. Die! She screamed. Do the World a favor and die!

Barb's claw dug into one of Tiamat's open wounds on her throat and she grins. Fat Chance, now show me some flesh, Concubine!

With that, she tore the wound more, filling the water with a deep red color. A piece of Tiamat's skin was ripped off and Barb jammed it into the open wound, giving the sea-dragon a taste of her razor sharp scales. She then kicked Tiamat in the back and watched Tiamat squirm in pain while trying to pull her skin out of her deep wound.

Serves you right, stupid bitch. Barb said, already feeling her own wounds making her light headed. She was about to strike again when she noticed Pebbles losing the battle to get to the top. She looks back at Tiamat then over at Pebbles. While happy if both of them died, Pebbles still had a lot of use for her before tossing him aside so she swam towards him. His eyes were already closed when she got to him so she slapped him a few times to wake him up. He barely opened his eyes, but it was enough for her as she swam behind him and began to push him to the surface. It was a struggle at first, she even went as far as biting his tail to get him to help her, but soon he was moving his arms and legs as well. Despite her feeling weak, she pushed herself and him up as fast as she could go.

Methuselah nearly passed out, but once he felt his claws and feet touching the swallow part of the ocean, he popped his head out, feeling the wind and the hot sun and began to throw up water. Barb resurfaced right next to him and was "Kind" enough to smack him in the back so he could focus and breathe.

Damn, it's a good thing you're not a big, fat male, or that would've been really difficult. She said, sarcastically.

Methuselah took a deep breath of air and started to cough violently.

Well...Barb said, before spitting out water and blood….that was...interesting.

Methuselah shot a glare at Barb while calming down his coughing. He sat down, not even caring that the water was up to his shoulder and growled. Dammit Barb! What the hell was that all about! He screamed. His voice hoarse from the salt water.

She blinked. A little happy that some of her sight was coming back though now she can make out the pissed off look on Pebbles' face. Oh you know, a bitter rival trying to get revenge. Same shit, different day to me. I didn't even know who she was until she told me her tragic tale.

If he was Rodan, there would be smoke coming out of his head from the lack of empathy in her tone. I nearly got killed and all you can do is shrug it off like it's no big deal! He roared.

You don't have to shout, I'm right here and yes, it was no big deal.

What the hell did you do to piss her off? Is there any kaiju on this planet you haven't pissed off?

She came after me. She was trying to kill me for food, so I taught that Bitch a lesson! Never fight a parasite when you're carrying.

His head jerked back from her statement. Oh my word, Barb...don't tell me you-

It was either me or her so yeah, I did. I kicked her a few times. If she had left me alone she wouldn't have delivered damaged eggs. Good riddance if you asked me.

Horrified, Methuselah snapped. What is wrong with you!? Are you so insane and cruel that you would hurt a female like that!? Do you not understand there are consequences for your unforgivable deeds? Do you not care about anyone else, but yourself!?

If you were in my place you would've done the same thing so don't judge me! Barb screamed back, getting right in his face.

Oh I'm judging you and you're wondering why she wants your blood and MINE!

Hey, I did her a favor! If it wasn't me, no doubt the Fat Lizard would've done it. She was one of the False King's whores and was about to give birth to their little Bastards. I should be praised for getting rid of those filthy little things. At least I let her live.

I really doubt if that matters to you! You said it yourself you killed younglings and unborn hatchlings before! And now thanks to you and your sloppiness, we have a Sea-dragon trying to kill us!

Again, she didn't even care you were here with me till she saw that fucking bite mark on my shoulder. You could've left, but you didn't! You didn't have to help me out just like you didn't have to save me from Fat-Ass the other day, but you did. It's your own damn fault!

Believe me Barb, I'm already regretting saving your ass from everyone who is trying to kill you.

Damn, you dare spit those words at me after I just saved your pathetic butt from drowning. How noble, Pebbles. Barb said, pushing him just to be petty.

Don't you dare touch me and don't try to turn this around and make me look like the bad guy! He shouted and pushed her back.

Well aren't we fickle, just an hour ago you were ready to pound into me if it wasn't for Tiamat interrupting us! She sneered while pressing her snout against his.

Meth growled from her bringing that up. And I'm glad she did before I did something I would regret!

Who are you trying to fool here, Peb-

Tiamat appeared with her eyes burning in frustration and rage and blood dripping down her body. Do you think you can get rid of me that easily! She screamed, but it was nothing compared to the high voices of Meth and Barb's horrible voices. She grew even angrier when she realized the two kaijus were too much into their argument, to pay attention to her or be scared. How dare they! Do they not know who she was!

DON'T YOU IGNORE ME! I WAS A BETA TO THE MOST POWERFUL KAIJU ON THIS PLANET AND YOU WILL FEAR ME JUST LIKE YOU ALL FEARED THE ONE TRUE KING AND-

OH SHUT UP! CAN'T YOU SEE WE'RE TALKING HERE! Meth screamed before jumping up on his hind legs and slugging Tiamat in the face with all his strength.

Tiamat's head nearly twisted all the way around from Meth's closed fist punch with teeth, blood and spit flying out of her mouth. There was a loud snap and crack sound coming from her jaw breaking and whiskers getting torn off. Her body did a clumsy spin before crashing backwards into the ocean with a loud splash. A giant wave collided against Meth and Barb and all went quiet.

Neither one of them moved when they realized Tiamat was gone as if they were waiting for her to reappear again. After a few minutes, Barb finally spoke.

You know...if you had done that from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Meth blinked and was too tired and wounded to make a slide remark. Barb…

I know, I know, "Shut up, Barb" She chuckled weakly. I have to say that was one hell of a punch, I don't recall ever getting that type of hit.

Methuselah rubbed his left eye. His sight was slowly coming back, but it was still stinging from Tiamat's toxins. Again, I don't fight females and if I do, I tend to hold back my strength even against you. She just caught me on a very bad day.

Riiight...or maybe you just care too much about my safety. She teased. Stupid, but whatever.

He rolled his eyes, Can we get out of water before she shows up again. Everyone knows Sea-dragons are weaker on land. He said, getting up, feeling every bone and joint in his body pop and crack. He's definitely going to be feeling these aches and pains tomorrow as he limps his way back to the dry land.

He could hear Barb getting up as well only to collapse from her beaten body. Hey, a little help here.

You're a big girl, you can walk. Meth said, looking back at her.

She tried to get up again. My arm is dislocated or broken, who knows and I landed on my leg wrong. Now that the adrenaline is worn off, it's too hard for me to walk on land.

No. He said.

Come on, I did keep you from drowning. Barb said with a wicked smile.

And I knocked that Traitor out. Cleaning up YOUR mess so we're even.

Fine, leave me here to rot and become food to so many sea creatures. She pouted, trying to make herself as pitiful as possible.

Gladly. He said, walking away. Does she think he was that easily fooled? She has four other limbs, she can definitely walk.

But just remember, I prevented you from becoming Seafood. She protested.

He stopped and huffed angrily to himself. She was the one who got him into this mess and now she thinks he owes her for saving his life. "Keeping you from drowning" she said, but he knew that was just her sly way to avoid saying "Saved." Alright, but you better not try and grab anything like the last time or I'll toss you back into the water.

He walked over to her and kneel down so she can clumsily climb on his back. He was kicked in the face by her foot, adding another injury to his already list of bruises and sore spots. He grumbled as he waited for her to get in a steady position before moving. Once he was out of the water, he looked back to make sure the sea-dragon haven't appeared before continuing his way home.

Taking me back to your turf? Barb asked, trying so hard not to pass out from her wounds and exhaustion. My, my, someone is eager to finish up what we've started before that Bitch interrupted us. She said, her voice slowly dying down to a tired whisper.

He sighed. Way too exhausted and irritated to do anything, but rest. Honestly, he didn't know how she could be in a playful mood after all that. The female had no shame and didn't want to discuss it so he quickly changed the topic.

So we're not going to talk about what just happened back there?

Talking, talking, that's all you want to do is talk. I told you the story. Can that female hold a grudge or what? She whispered.

I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about how the horrible, disgusting parasite like you went out of her way to keep me from drowning. He smirked. Knowing very well he's not going to let Barb live that down. The question is would anyone believe him?

It was no big deal. She said, shrugging.

I don't know Barb, it seems to me, you let your guard down and showed a little care and tenderness towards me. He teased with a sly smirk.

Nope. She said, plain and simple. Like I told Tiamat, I need you alive in order for the "Thing" I like to stay functional. I wouldn't look too deep into it. She said, rubbing her eyes.

Sure Barb….sure. He said, tiredly. There's no point arguing with her since neither one of them is going to back down or give in.

That's right, now hurry up to your turf, I could use a nap. She said, while giving his rear a hard spank.

He threw her off his back without a second thought…

Fin

(Two Weeks later)

She didn't know what happened. All she could remember getting punched in the face by that Mountain kaiju then waking up at the bottom of the ocean floor. She didn't know how long she was out, but she woke up in painl, her blood seeping out of her wound and a dangled jaw. After popping her jaw back in place, she went back to the place where she fought Barb and her companion only to find the couple long gone. Unbelievable, they ran off like cowards, Barb ran off just like before. Tired and wounded, she didn't wanna risk slithering around the land to find them since she was weaker out of the water so she left to find a place to recover.

Weeks later while she was resting in her new home, some abandoned underwater place inside of an air pocket, something in her mind began to tingle. A small little spark pinch the back of her mind causing her to wake up immediately.

It was faint, but she recognized that spark.

No way….She whispered, looking out at the abandoned place. A tell tale sign it was one of the Lizard's old "Kingdoms". The only reason she stayed in the place was because there were drawings of the True King, her One and Only carved in the walls all around her. Next to them were the drawings of the Lizard and his bug fighting against them as well as drawings of humans bowing to the Lizard for his victory. There was another spark and she closed her eyes to concentrate.

The image of those giant golden wings came into her mind. The feeling and warmth of them wrapping around her for love and comfort.

Ghidorah...She whispered.

She could feel them. She was sure it was them. The feeling was a bit off, like it was them, but something about them was different, but it was truly them.

(My Purple Darling…)

My Love…

She suddenly felt a sharp pain and she knew they were angry, but they were also calculating as well.

(We got work to do.)

(The humans are rebuilding us. Each day we are getting stronger.)

(The Lizard knows….find him….stop him….!)

MQB: Well, I hope you like this Short Story. The last part was me setting up my future story "Gray Clouds" which is going to be an AU story of Godzilla: Dominion. It will have some of the same plots like Gojira fighting against Scylla and Tiamat with a little twist by yours truly. I have plans for that weird Root-looking kaiju Amhuluk as well since he will be introduce in that one. Though while I'm planning and coming up with ideas for this story, I feel like I could use a better Title than "Gray Clouds" since it sounds a little too cheesy for a grim story. Any ideas I'm all ears just a long it involves a color of some sort.

I hope you like this story, I know I did especially when I gave Methuselah and Barb a scene where they are somewhat decent to each other. You can see it as them getting use to each other since Barb is sticking around no matter what and Methuselah is just dealing with it. And yes, Tiamat will be returning later on. So yay?

Please Review, you know me, I love the feedback, tips, ideas and more.

Stay Wonderful Dear Readers and take care of each other.

Peace.

Stay Tune for the next chapter of "Tsunami," coming up next as well as the long-waited one-shot "Mist" which is my first Human POV story staring Madison Russel.
