Hey, guys! I'm really enjoying this story, almost as much as you, so here's a new chapter!
I don't know if I'm going to write Kong of Skull Island, cause it's largely the same thing as the movie, with a few changes. But, I don't know just yet. You guys wanna read it?
Anyway, enjoy, and please R&R!
Chapter IX
Diamond Head, Hawaii
"Anyone mind telling me why we're looking for an Akula in the jungle?" one of the soldiers asked.
"Could be a glitch," Barton stated. "The Russians said they got a ping off this location."
The group heard the woosh of jets overhead. They looked up and saw two silhouettes, one outlined in red, the other in blue.
"Roger dodger, ground team," Stark added. "We're getting the same ping as you. Just up ahead."
Barton, leading the team, was the first to see the object. It was really big, about the size of a station wagon. It was covered in white foam. Using his gloved hand, Barton wiped some of the foam away. It had a slimy viscosity. Underneath the slime, he saw the symbol that warned everyone about its contents. Or what were the contents.
"I'm not getting any clicks off of this," Romanoff stated, holding her multipurpose wristband in front of her.
"Mama Goose, we found your missing sub," Stark said, the lights from his suit illuminating the huge sub that once housed the reactor. "You're not gonna believe what else we found."
"Holy shit," Rhodes muttered, not believing what he was seeing.
The beast was massive, though not as big as Godzilla. It's skin shimmered, as if it had just came out of the water. It had a row of webbed spines on its back, like the fins on a fish.
It raised its head, and revealed a face similar to the monitor lizard, but it seemed like its face lacked flexibility. It was like its skull was on the outside of its muscles instead of inside. Its nostrils were just above its eyes, further suggesting an aquatic lifestyle.
"My God," Tony said under his breath.
"It seems to stand one hundred feet above the treeline," Rhodes said from the other end of the radio. "We can't tell how wide it is."
Admiral Stenz sighed as he walked away from the monitor. He turned to Dr. Serizawa, who was staring at the creature on the screen.
"The cat's out of the bag, Doctor," he said. "No more secrets. Our first priority now is safety. There are over five-hundred people on that island."
Serizawa didn't respond. He knew what the deal was, like how he knew what the monster was.
It was, without a doubt, the Leviathan.
"Sir, our patrols have detected Godzilla swimming in our direction," a soldier said to the Admiral. "He's hauling ass."
Serizawa turned to the admiral. He now knew why Godzilla roared as he moved to the East, and why he was swimming towards the island at breakneck speed.
"He's hunting," he stated.
His voice silenced the entire room. Even Stenz was chilled by what he said.
"Doctor," he finally said. "You think he's chasing the M.U.T.O.?"
"Leviathan. And yes, I know that he's hunting it."
"Will he kill it?"
"That, I don't know."
A soldier burst into the room, panting heavily, like he ran a mile.
"Doctor, it's the package from Scotland," he said. "It's shaking."
"Shaking? How so?"
"Violently. Like there's something in it."
Serizawa, filled with shock, ran after the soldier, following him to the storage bay.
The ground team surrounded Leviathan, in the hope that they could keep it from getting closer to the city. Stark and Rhodes flew over it repeatedly, angering it.
In it's anger, Leviathan snarled as it dropped the reactor it was about to snack on. The sounds it made had a hollow, almost wooden tinge to it, like its exposed skull was affecting its vocalizations.
Tony and Rhodey received the go-ahead from Fury to attack it. They circled back in a wide arc, intending to follow through on it.
Leviathan, seeing the approaching figures, snarled before rearing up on its hind legs. Its throat seemed to balloon up, before it released a white foaming liquid from its mouth.
The substance made contact with the men in the metal suits. It was ridiculously hot, almost to the point of burning. They lost their bearings and started to fall.
"Control, we've been hit!" Rhodes shouted as they fell. "I say again, we've been hit!"
They finally crashed into the ground. Their armor protected them, but they felt the immense impact of the crash.
The crash distracted everyone as Leviathan slithered away.
"I was just checking on the climate settings," Dr. Graham explained panickingly, "Then it started shaking!"
Serizawa looked at the bio-gauge on the end of the case. It showed a rapidly increasing heartbeat and breathe rate.
The occupant of the case was alive and well.
"Try to get him sedated!" Serizawa shouted. "We don't know if he'll leave us alive!"
Before anyone could do anything, a spine-tingling scream was heard from inside the case, freezing everyone in place. The case then started to crack as claws pierced through the metal.
"Back against the wall!" a soldier shouted.
Everyone only had a split second to follow through before the case half exploded. They looked up to see the figure that had broken out of the case.
It looked like an intensely well-muscled man, save for the long tail and the scales loosely scattered across his body. His eyes seemed to burn like a bonfire.
Serizawa looked at the man, staring in disbelief, as if he didn't recognize the man.
"Jon?"
