Chapter XXI
Godzilla stood up, his back as straight as a pole. His spines were glowing a brilliant blue, and his mouth had the same glow as he inhaled deeply, puffing his chest out. Cap held his shield up, ready for whatever the beast had in store.
"Oh, shi-"
He was promptly cut off by a stream of blue fire that spewed out of Godzilla's mouth. The fire whirred as it relentlessly pounded against Magna's skin. The snake screamed in pain as she was burned by Godzilla's fiery attack.
The fire went out, revealing harsh burns on Magna's side. She shrieked as she attempted to attack Godzilla, only to be pushed back by another fire attack to her chest.
The fire scorched her mercilessly, tearing into her chest like a cutting torch. Finally, the torment ended, the muscle of her chest exposed and bleeding. Exhausted and in extreme pain, she slumped down and whimpered, losing consciousness.
Godzilla approached the fallen snake, intending to finish her, before he was attacked from the side by Leviathan. The smaller serpent had no intention to fight, just to get to his mate.
Leviathan nudged the snout of his mate. She purred in acknowledgement of him, and nuzzled him gently, before she fell limp, her tongue hanging out of her mouth.
Leviathan screamed in agony at the loss of his mate, before leaping at Godzilla, angrily snapping his jaws. Godzilla struggled to keep the snake from snapping his head off, ready to charge up his fire breath if need be.
However, it wasn't needed, as Mayura swooped down and yanked Leviathan off of Godzilla, dragging him by the tail through several buildings. Leviathan, however, wasn't easily dissuaded, as he wriggled and thrashed in his attempts to get at Godzilla. However, when he was dropped at Godzilla, he was promptly slammed midsection by his tail, throwing Leviathan a few blocks away.
Realizing that he wouldn't be able to get his revenge just yet, Leviathan hissed before leaping into the bay. He disappeared in no time, but he suddenly reappeared as he flew through the air, landing on top of the now-inactive reactor.
Godzilla and Mayura looked toward the bay to see a familiar face appear, it's whiskers skimming the surface of the water. Slithering onto land, Bakunawa growled thunderously at Leviathan.
Godzilla, Mayura, and Bakunawa surrounded the fallen Leviathan, growling and hissing at the deadly serpent.
Leviathan raised his head, glaring at his opponents. However, he dropped it when he realized that he could not win this day. He lowered his head to the ground.
Godzilla recognized the submissive gesture and raised his own head, looking down at Leviathan, reminding the snake of his place. In victory, Godzilla roared loudly, followed by Mayura's screech and Bakunawa's bellow.
Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow and the ground team stood in awe of the monsters. Godzilla had proclaimed himself king of the monsters before everyone.
Their thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of Iron Man, Iron Patriot, Falcon, and Thor.
"What is it, Stark?" Cap asked.
"HYDRA attacked the Saratoga," he replied. "They have Fury, Serizawa, Graham, and Tilly."
"Where are they?"
"They should be heading for the docks. The city is closed off everywhere except the bay area."
"OK. I'll take ground team through the streets. Stark, take your team and meet us a little ways before the docks."
"Got it." Stark took off, with Rhodes, Wilson, and Thor following him. Cap led the ground team through the ruined streets of San Francisco.
The HYDRA agents led their hostages to the end of the dock, where a fishing boat sat, waiting for it's owners to turn it on.
"I must say, Fury," one of the agents said, "you are a tough son of a bitch to kill."
"I'm like a cockroach," Fury joked. "You kill me, I just come back to life."
One of the agents went to the boat. After a while, a second agent walked onto the boat, telling Fury that it would take a while for them to get the boat running.
Taking the initiative, he grabbed the rifle of the nearest HYDRA agent and tried to wrestle the gun out of his arms. The agent, however, was stronger, throwing him off and firing several rounds into the former S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
Maigo shrieked, thinking that Fury had died. However, when the agents approached him, they saw that he was alive and well, as he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
"Very brave, Fury," one of the agents praised. "You almost had it. You could have saved your friends."
Fury, however, returned the agent's cocky smile.
"Oh, they will be saved," he said, "but not by me."
The shriek resonated through the city, reaching the ears of Bakunawa, who was following his king to the bay. The sound caught his attention and triggered an ancient instinct, one of protecting smaller creatures from harm.
Realizing that a human was in danger, Bakunawa abandoned his original course and followed the sound, using his arms to try and get there as fast as possible.
Godzilla growled at the aquatic dragon, inquiring him as to his intentions. Bakunawa momentarily stopped and returned the growl, telling Godzilla that a human was in danger. Godzilla told him that they shouldn't trouble themselves with the human's internal affairs, but Bakunawa replied that humans shared the same planet as them, so they should help each other. Godzilla would have argued further, but Bakunawa was continuing his search for the distressed human.
After rummaging through rubble and abandoned apartments, Bakunawa saw a young human female, being held in an aggressive way by an adult in dark clothing. Her face was wet with tears, a sign that Bakunawa interpreted as distress. The girl, upon seeing him, had a moment of realization, before shrieking again. Bakunawa, now aware of his target, ran as fast as he could, bellowing to assure her that he was coming.
The dark humans, seeing his approach, used one of their tools to knock the girl unconscious, angering Bakunawa. He bellowed again, in anger.
The agent held the unconscious girl in his arms. She had alerted the beasts to the situation, so the agents had knocked her out to keep her quiet. But it was too late, as the dragon was moving at unprecedented speeds, directly for them.
The agents urged the men on the boat to hurry. When they turned back to face the dragon, it was gone, the only sign of it being enormous waves.
The agents pulled their prisoners with them to the boat, but they stopped upon seeing an enormous object rise from the other side of the boat. They held still as they saw the snarling face of the Moon-Eater, Bakunawa.
The dragon growled with a voice like thunder, his teeth long and sharp, eager to taste their flesh.
As the agents backed away slowly, they heard a loud thud from right behind them. They turned to see the owlish face of Mayura, the peacock deity.
The bird glared at them with its wide eyes, no more pleased with their actions than Bakunawa.
Finally, the HYDRA agents watched as the largest of the monsters, Godzilla, stepped into view, bearing a face that nobody had ever managed to outdo in anger.
The king sneered at the humans, giving them a silent warning to release their prisoners.
"I'd listen to him, if I was you," a deep, growling voice said from behind the agents. They turned to see a wyvern-like creature, with blue scales, large wings, and insectoid mandibles on either side of its mouth.
The agents, seeing that they had no choice, let their hostages go, letting Fury take the unconscious girl. The action made the wyvern fly off and the larger beasts retract a ways.
However, Godzilla wasn't done.
His back began to glow again, the spines on his back emanating the bright blue of his fire breath. The glow spread down his tail and up his neck, before residing just within his eyes. Finally, he opened his mouth.
The fire destroyed the boat and burned the HYDRA agents, rendering them nothing but ash in the water.
Their work done, the monsters returned to the bay. Mayura flew off, disappearing within the clouds. Bakunawa swam ahead, undulating his body in the same way a crocodile did. Finally, Godzilla roared before entering the water, swimming a fair way before submerging himself completely.
