House of Mouse Special- Godzilla 2014
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I know it's been a long while since I made a House of Mouse/Godzilla movie special, but I am back to do my best to deliver another one! Also, I got some news to share with all of you.
But before I do anything or say anything else, I want to give praise and glory to God. Thank you Jesus for helping me out, thank you for being with me & helping me to get better and stronger with you. Thank you Lord that you have given me wonderful opportunities to try and improve myself, and also for the wise advice I have been getting from family, friends, co-workers and so on. I will do my best to obey you and follow you Jesus, for all the rest of my days. And I continue to hope and pray for my nation and the people that reside in her. Once again, thank you God for everything!
I got some news to share with all of you. Ahem… first the good news! I recently went to Alamo City Comic-Con in my hometown of San Antonio on October 27th, dressed in last year's Halloween costume of the original Gizmoduck from Disney's 1987 DuckTales series. I went there… and managed to meet and get the autographs of the ladies who did the voices of my all-time fave Disney Princesses, Ariel and Jasmine! Yes, I managed to talk to and meet Jodi Benson & Linda Larkin! I did see the ones who did the voices for Eric, Aladdin and Belle too but sadly could not meet with them due to running a bit low on cash to gain their autographs or pictures. But that is alright, since talking and meeting with the two lovely and wonderful ladies was more than enough for me!
The best part is… I managed to get them to autograph a printed copy of my Monsters and Magic picture that my dear friend Neshma from Puerto Rico made for me years ago! It's the one that features Godzilla in the middle surrounded by the other Toho kaiju, with Maleficent above & behind him with Melody down below. I also gave both Jodi, Linda and even Paige O'Hara some printed copies of both the picture & another that features Snow White and her daughter Kathrin atop Mothra with the Twin Fairies Disney-fied by their side. It is also a creation from my friend Neshma, hand-drawn beautifully and scanned in to my computer. The original artwork is safely framed up.
I told Linda and Jodi about what the picture was about, and also my dream to get Disney and Toho to really recognize my work. They really liked it, and also… oh boy, Jodi actually wished me luck in getting my series to be recognized! It really, REALLY made my day in an extremely good way to hear that from her! And the autograph she wrote on the picture… it really touched me, and gave me hope! Hope that my Disney/Toho works could be made a reality! So if any of those actresses see my story or specials here, I honestly hope that they realize how much of a positive impact they made for me.
The autograph picture is now my new Cover Image here for this particular special. I really hope to get this picture turned into a shirt like I was able to do to my other pictures, if you have seen them here on this site. I would like for all to see that I indeed get the autographs, and blessings, from the original voices of the two Disney Princesses that I fell in love with as a kid when the movies came out.
The next piece of news is this. I got my wish fulfilled! Going on a 7-Night Western Caribbean Disney Cruise in March on my birthday! It took a lot of saving and financial work, but I managed to do it! I am taking my parents with me for the trip, and it's all due to them that it was made possible. So thank you Lord for my awesome Mom & Dad, and also that I now have the opportunity to celebrate my birthday in style! That is another reason why I would want my autograph picture to be made into a shirt, to show it to everyone on the ship. And maybe advertise for my novel & special series more. Worth a try at least.
That is the good news I wish to share with all of you. Now… for the bad news.
I have… well, I have sort of hit a wall here. Even though Jodi did give me some hope for my series with her words and writing… I am still unsure on how to present my case to Walt Disney Animation Studios. I have tried several times, with both written letters and e-mail ones, but all have returned negative. They even stated in their letters that due to the nature of them, they didn't even open them! And I still do not know how to contact the Toho company.
I understand and also approve of their policies, wanting to protect the integrity and rights of their workers who officially work for the company… but at the same time… I just feel depressed at the moment. I honestly, truly believe that my Disney/Toho series is what the two companies need at the moment! With all these remakes and such coming out… I just feel that Disney is losing touch with what made it so special and worthwhile for so many years. And same with Toho too. Shin Godzilla looks original and powerful, but… yet he just doesn't have that same vibe or charm that made me watch the Godzilla movies in the first place when I was a kid. I do like the Millennium and Legendary versions of Godzilla and the monsters, but give me any day of the week the Showa and Heisei-era Godzilla and Toho kaiju!
I really just feel now that I have hit a wall, and I honestly do not know what else to do. So I apologize if I seem a bit melancholy, but… after pleading with others here to see if they could advertise my Monsters and Magic series & specials yet nothing coming forth, I am starting to just feel the weight. I'm starting to feel weighed down in spirit and mind, and believe me, it's not good. Combine it with the small number of reviews of my other writings I put here, it has really made me a bit negative.
Also, getting a bit sick and tired of some of the stories that appear on this site. There has been an influx of tales that involve demons, devils, people trying to become God, comparing others to Jesus and so on. From my point of view, sadly a lot of stories are focusing on & trying to showcase in a good light things that are truly evil and wrong. Good stories are rare to find nowadays, and I can only hope that I continue to write stuff that actually showcases something really right and good.
So again… if any of you can do any kind of advertisements for my novel series or Disney/Toho specials in any way, I would be very grateful for it. Sigh…
Well, I shall do my best with this chapter here. Now to thank those that did review in my previous movie chapter! Ahem…
To Mickol93: I thank you for your kind words, and rest assured the Disney characters in my stories will see much of the Toho films that feature Godzilla. From Showa-era all the way to the present.
To superkoola: Thank you for the words, and thank you for answering my questions. Some of the giant monsters I have seen are not much when compared to the legendary Toho kaiju, but I do try to see the positive in them. And I like the Disney characters in the House of Mouse to see that as well, especially with Zilla.
To SaurusRock625: I thank you for the kind review, and also for answering my questions. I really do hope to live up to certain expectations, especially where it concerns the classic Disney & Toho legends. Both human and giant monster.
To Yami Null: Thank you for the review.
To DRAGONDAVE45: Thank you for the review, my friend. I will try to keep that mind for the next House of Mouse/Godzilla movie special chapter I do. It does have merit, and it makes sense in a way. I believe you will do well when you premier your sequel version of my Monsters and Magic Series, though I hope that you really follow the guidelines I left at the end of my Sofia the First/Godzilla mini-novel. And I thank you for answering my questions.
To laze jovanov: Thank you for the review, and I hope you are doing well. Thank you for answering my questions, and I do hope you found the answers I gave you satisfactory. I did notice that Millennium-era Anguirus did have a spiked tail, which showed it was a different kind from the Showa-era. That is why I made the ending in my Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale Toho version like so, where the old Anguirus was raising a new one. You have brilliant observation skills, which I hope increases and gets more refined, my friend.
To Kearitona Sjachraelgil: Thank you my lady love for your review, and thank you for your honest answers to my questions. Reading your reviews is very much well worth the wait!
To King of 2211: Thanks for the review, and for showing the rest of it in the PM. And also, let it be known for you and Big Hero Six to take their time in putting in their reviews. They are worth the wait, always take time and do not rush. Also to Shin Godzilla, know this. I do not hate you or anything like that, you do seem like a very potent and formidable incarnation of the King of the Monsters. That much is clear. However… just sad to say, you lack the charm and special quality that made me like Godzilla in the first place. So while you are a welcome addition to the Toho family, nothing will EVER replace the Godzilla from the Heisei and Showa-era that I have come to be cemented with.
To Darkness Rissing: Thanks for the review, and it is okay! Like I told others, reviews like yours are worth waiting for! So don't worry about how much time has passed when a chapter is set, just as long as you do review that counts. I also do the best I can with the knowledge I learn. It's not much I know, but its best I got. And also glad that you are diving into each chapter, just like I want because I love to get the chance to get the readers more involved with the story. More involved with it instead of just reading it, to let their imaginations soar like in the past.
To Rod: Thanks for the review, and the suggestions. I will take each into consideration, that you have my word on.
And finally to Japan Boy: Thank you for the review, the one who inspired me to write my own Disney/Toho novels and specials! Like told to others, reviews like yours are worth waiting for! While I do have my own style and grace that are adequate enough, it is by the grace and blessings of the Lord that really make the difference here. It is He who gave me the gift of imagination and story-writing, and I dare not waste the gift or the 2nd chance He has given me to put it to good use. So again, thank you for the kind and encouraging words!
I do not own Godzilla, any of the characters or items that officially belong to the Toho Company. I do not own any of the Disney characters or places that officially belong to the Walt Disney Company. I also do not own any named monsters or characters that have come from other companies such as Universal Studios, RKO, etc. I also do not own any of the characters that appear in certain Toho games such as Godzilla: Save The Earth and Godzilla: Unleashed for the Wii, PS2 and X-Box consoles.
Also, NO live-action remakes of any kind are in my stories, not even in this one. I only like/love the classic, original and REAL animated Disney movies and cartoons I grew up with as a kid. These new remakes/reboots of that are up now… no way! This is my stance, and I am sticking to it with conviction! Any song I use here, the artist/artists will be given full credit and dues as it is their right. I will post who published & distributed said song as best I can.
Godzilla is based on Godzilla by Toho, directed by Gareth Edwards & produced by Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, Mary Parent and Brian Rogers. Story is by David Callaham. Production company is Legendary Pictures, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and Toho. Release date was May 2014.
Danny Phantom is a cartoon series that was created by Butch Hartman, developed by Steve Marmel. The series aired on April 2004, the network that released it was Nickelodeon. The production companies were Billionford Inc. and Nickelodeon Animation Studios, with the distributors being Viacom International Inc. and Nelvana.
Now, on with the special!)
The date is December 8th 2018, and Downtown Toon Town was getting ready for the festive season. Thanksgiving had just been celebrated two weeks ago, many cartoon characters giving thanks to the High One Above for being able to spend time with family & friends together. Even the villains/villainesses celebrated the season by coming together as well! Now… it was the month that many welcomed with open arms, and it was December! The citizens of the animated world were getting ready for Christmas, decorations of all kinds that celebrated the joyous season were already appearing in many of the local places. Boughs of holly were starting to appear over the streets and on windows through various shops, men and women were starting some early Christmas shopping by going to the stores to get the presents. While some did shop online, a vast majority of toons kept on shopping the old-fashioned way by going to the malls and such.
Children were such in full, joyous spirits it was infectious but in a very good way. Christmas songs were already being played on the radio, and the weather seemed to be following the mood as a powerful cold front was reported to come in a couple of days. The cold front would be followed by snow, and many of the citizens of the Disney realm were very much waiting for that first Christmas snowfall to come.
Now at the moment, things were getting busy at the famous dinner theater club… the House of Mouse!
Outside the club that catered to many classic and modern Disney stars, animated or not, Christmas decorations were already up on the building. However, inside was another story. The general manager and co-owner of the club, Mickey Mouse, was checking the immense dining area with his lady love Minnie Mouse. The two legendary stars of Disney were looking at the place that was once again decorated in Toho décor, the two mice looking up at a large prop that was set up near the entrance to the club. It was a tall model of Godzilla 2014, the extraordinary monster by Legendary Pictures! Minnie spoke, "Oooh, Mickey! Just look at Godzilla here! This one is so much different from the other ones. Look how muscular he looks!".
Mickey chuckled as he looked at the powerful-looking monster and spoke, "Yup! Hahaha! It seems this version has been working out a lot at the gym! Makes me wish I could get bulked up like that.". Minnie turned and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips, telling her man that he was fine just as she liked it. The two smiled warmly and gave the other a small but loving hug. The duo than looked at the rest of the club, seeing that the tables were already set up with Millennium-era Toho monster props on.
Minnie turned her gaze to the Wall of Authors and Animations, the portrait part of the club that showcased the various Disney & Toho stars with the potent Authors from the real world. The particular part of the club was increasing with more pictures, and the little legendary lady feared that it would be time to actually put some of the framed items in Storage. She thought, 'I better ask one of the Authors if they could help me with this particular problem. I really don't want to put any of these wonderful photos in Storage, but we seem to be running out of room…'.
Her thoughts were broken when Mickey was walking more towards the interior of the club, more specifically towards Donald and Daisy. The lovely better half of the legendary mouse rushed over to be by his side, wanting to see if there was anything she could to do help.
Mickey asked the ducks, "Hey you two! Is everything all set up? Donald, are all the tables decorated? Daisy, how is the Guest List coming along?".
Daisy answered first, "Everything is all set & the guests are all accounted for! A lot of patrons have been anxious to have another Toho-themed dinner here at the club, and it seems this particular movie has got a LOT of stars now itching to come here! Take a look!". The female duck handed to Mickey her tablet, which showcased to the mouse a truly whopping grand total of guests that would be arriving shortly. Various stars from animated, 3D animation and live-action movies were coming to attend the event, and it showed that many famous Authors were going to be in attendance as well. In Mickey's opinion, this was close to when the House of Mouse first started to combine Toho movies with their dinner theater back in March 2017.
He handed the tablet back to her, saying that he was really impressed by the sheer number of people that would be coming soon. He looked to Donald and the sailor stated, "All the tables are set up and ready for the guests, Mickey! Take a look for yourself!".
The loveable mice turned to one of the tables, seeing that it had tasteful Toho décor… that finished with a toy figurine of Millennium-era Godzilla situated in the middle of the table. The duo turned their heads to see various figurine toys, in various shapes and sizes, also spread out on other tables. One had King Ghidorah from Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack gazing towards a figurine opposite of it. It was the male MUTO from the Legendary film, and it looked like the titans were ready to rumble! Another table had the final form of Orga from Godzilla 2000 surrounded by Japanese army tanks that were ready to fire on the behemoth. Mickey and Minnie soon saw a table that had Megaguirus from Godzilla vs. Megaguirus was shown about to go up against the female MUTO, a battle to see who was truly Queen of the Monsters.
Minnie commented, "Oh, they all look so fearsome and cool like that! Good work Donald! Good work indeed!". The duck with a temper smiled and puffed his chest a little with pride, very much appreciating the praise from the better half of Mickey.
Before Mickey could say his piece, the doors to the kitchen swung open & the head waiter Goofy came walking out towards them with a handful of menus. He looked to everyone and stated, "Hyuck! Hey everyone! Just got the menu from the chefs in the kitchen. Take a look at them! They went all-out again with the food, drinks and snacks because this is another Toho event.". He handed to the group some of the menus, which had the picture of Godzilla 2014 with his back turned and above him was the Mickey Mouse ears insignia. The four each took one and opened it up to see what the food artists have made for the special night.
Mickey stated out loud, "Hmmm… ah! EMP Burst Steak Special… Mini Muto Veggie Dish… Blue Breath Blueberry Smoothie… HALO Jump Red Fish Plate… and more! I have to say, the chefs really are going all-out on this one! I bet the guests are going to love the menu for tonight!". He thanked Goofy for showing them the menu, giving it back to him as the rest did the same. Minnie, Donald and Daisy were also impressed by the selection the chefs had decided to make for tonight's Disney/Toho special.
Goofy grinned and remarked, "Thanks Mick! Now, I need to go and make myself decent for Sylvia. It's almost time for the club to open, and I would like to look my best for my wife even though I'll be working.". Many would call Goofy clumsy, accident prone and also very… well, goofy. But he was also very loyal, loving and attentive to his wife. He would do anything to make her happy and proud of him, and even though he would be in a waiter's uniform and serving the guests… he wanted to do it with all his being in a way that was special to both him and Sylvia.
The group smiled as they saw the tall, lanky but loveable lug go backstage to freshen up. Minnie saw the clock that was situated above the entrance, and saw that it was 7:00 p.m. She stated, "Oh! Only thirty minutes until showtime! We better get ready ourselves and double-check to make sure that everything is okay!".
Before the others could utter a remark, a voice from above called out, "Don't worry Minnie! I'll make sure that everything is set while you all go get ready!". The group turned to see that coming down to them was Peg Pete, the mature beauty all set for an evening of fun and excitement. Like the rest of the Disney ladies, she found the right balance of classy and sexy when it came to getting dressed. To show off her beauty but in a way that was tasteful and good. Beside her was Pete, her husband and co-landlord to the club. The big lug was also dressed up for the occasion, but more so on the insistence of his wife. Again, he was not pleased that the club was doing another Toho Night but that the dinner theater was thriving more than ever due to two factors.
It was both the Christmas holidays, and also that Toho was working now more with Disney.
Peg walked down the stairs, going to the group and giving them a big, warm smile as she spoke, "Don't worry about a thing everyone! Me and Pete here will go over everything while you all go & get ready.".
Daisy inquired, "Thanks Mrs. Pete! But… do you think we can trust Pete after what happened last time?". The group had not forgotten what happened in November of last year, where Pete had managed to remotely control a mechanical prop of Kiryu that ran amuck due to some technical difficulties.
The lovely lady answered, "Oh, its okay now. Pete has learned to behave himself whenever there is a Toho night here at the club. Isn't that right…. sweetheart?". Near the end of her inquiry, she grabbed Pete by the necktie to bring him to eye-level with her. The big landlord gulped, a look of nervousness on his face as he saw the glare coming from his better half. He had faced many a fearsome villain/villainess such as Maleficent, Scar, Judge Claude Frollo, Hans and more… but his angry wife surpassed them all when it came to intimidation.
He nodded, some sweat forming on his brow as he remarked, "Y-Y-Yes Sweetie-Pie. I'll behave! Honest! Cross my heart!". She smiled, her glare released and also letting go of her husband's tie. Said man let out a breath, wiping his sweat away as he was glad to avoid that bullet.
The others chuckled, causing Pete to glare heatedly at them but he could do nothing so long as his lady was there. Minnie said, "Thanks for doing this Peg! And don't worry, we'll get cleaned up and be back here quick!". The mice and ducks quickly rushed backstage to get cleaned up, and also to make sure that they had everything that revolved around their duties prepared.
Once they were gone, Mrs. Pete looked up to the Control Room and exclaimed, "Yoo hoo! Horace Horsecollar! Is everything fine up there?".
The anthro, techno-savvy horse popped up from his position to reveal himself to Peg and answered, "Yes ma'am, Mrs. Pete! Everything up here is warmed up and ready to go! The movie is all set, and also my equipment is working fine!". Horace was always pumped up whenever the club had decided to throw a Toho night, something about the unique crossover time that made him want to do his best for Mickey and the others.
Clarabelle Cow went over to the Pete's and inquired, "Hey Peg! Good to see you again! Did you hear the latest gossip? I heard that the Kaiju Supremes are looking to welcome a new member to their group, an Author that became a friend of DJ Rodriguez recently!". Peg smiled and stated that it wasn't just gossip, but was actually true! Mrs. Pete was PART of the group that was comprised mostly of Disney women that were devoted fans of the Toho universe, more in line with the King of the Monsters Godzilla but showing some vested interest in the other kaiju. Peg's favorite giant monster from the Toho universe was M.O.G.U.E.R.A, due to finding the mecha fascinating that it was actually a combination of two vehicles- the Star Falcon & Land Moguera.
As the duo continued to talk, Pete walked away from them to see the décor on the walls nearby. He grumbled, "Humph! I still don't see what's so special about these guys. Just giant monsters that stomp all over the place and fight each other! I mean, what's the big deal anyhow?!". He poked a poster that displayed the theatrical release of Godzilla 2014, the big lug still a bit negative towards the Toho franchise.
A familiar voice answered him from behind, "The big deal is Pete is that Godzilla and the others have a special charm that is untouchable, just like how Disney is.". The rotund co-landlord turned around, then looked down to find the owner of the voice. It was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the black & white rabbit looking up at his boss. The black & white character was dressed in his parking car valet uniform, showing he was already prepared to do his duty when the time came.
Pete glared at the small old-school character and remarked, "Oh yeah, wise guy? How do you figure that?".
Oswald sighed and answered, "If you just think about it for a moment, it may be clear even to someone like you. Godzilla and the other giant monsters have been around for years, just like us Disney cartoons have. Though changing over the years, it was only slightly both in appearances and design. At the core, they have something unique and special. Something that one can't quite describe! Godzilla and the kaiju bring something that is untouchable and strong, just like Disney is when it comes to innocent fun and showing true love.".
Another voice added in, "You got that right! Just like Toho is famous for its timelessness in making monster movies like Godzilla, Disney is famous for its timeless and unique look on romance and magic.". The two men turned around to see Ortensia the Cat walking towards them, Oswald's wife & better half of the lucky rabbit. She too was dressed in a parking valet uniform, which was modified to show off her feminine features.
Oswald smiled, going over to hug his beloved and asking, "Ortensia! What are you doing here? I thought you were outside getting ready for the characters to show up.".
The cute anthro cat giggled and answered, "I was, but I was wondering where you were since you have been here for awhile.". Oswald had gone inside the theater club to use the restroom facilities, and he had just gotten done & was about to go back outside to his wife when he saw & heard Pete's comments.
Ortensia looked to Pete and spoke once more, "So you see Boss, Godzilla and his companions have something is classic, timeless, strong and true. Something that should not be touched by any other or changed. The same with Disney, as even though things have evolved so to speak, at the core we still believe and show what is right, true, real and wonderful. A timelessness that transcends anything else.".
Pete was about to remark on what a lot of bologna it was, but a certain voice stopped him. It was Peg as she stated, "Now that is speaking the truth, sister!". She was walking towards them, Clarabelle in tow as the duo had heard what the trio were speaking about earlier. When Ortensia got involved, Peg decided to back up her friend on this case.
Peg looked to her intended and asked, "Anything else to say on the matter, honey? Hmmm?". She gave him a look that told Pete to just end the conversation right there. While she knew he wanted to say something on his own behalf, now was not that time since it was close to officially opening the club to the public. And they still had to check things inside to make sure all was in place.
The former villain chuckled nervously and answered, "N-No, dear! Everything is all settled! Yup, everything is clear and good! Oh, excuse me a moment. I have to check on the posters on the other side of the wall.". He zipped past them, wanting to avoid his wife's glare as he knew it was a very potent force.
The lovely mature beauty sighed, shaking her head but with a soft smile on her face. While her husband could be a bit much to handle at times, he was still a good man to her and the family. He was hers, and she was his. They had gotten through much together, and though they did have their differences in a lot of areas, they held true to one another. And that was saying something right there.
Oswald chuckled and said, "I have to hand it to you ma'am, you really know how to keep that big guy in line.". Peg replied that it came due to years of being married to her husband to know how to set him straight when he got a bit into his old, villainous persona. She looked to the clock again and saw that it was now 7:15 p.m.
She looked to her employees and spoke, "Oh dear! Only fifteen minutes left! Oswald, you and Ortensia go back outside with Max! Be ready to help him with the valet parking! Clarabelle, you go upstairs to check that the Kids Room is all set! Me and Pete will finish checking things here in the Main Room!". The rabbit and cat nodded before rushing out of the area, Clarabelle agreeing with Peg before going upstairs. The Kids Room was a special place for certain Disney guests that were quite young, and also those was sensitive minds or natures. Whenever the House of Mouse showcased Toho movies that were of a graphic nature, they sent the guests to the room so they could enjoy safe movies & cartoon specials. In this case, the guests would enjoy Hanna-Barber's Godzilla or Fox's Godzilla the Series shows.
Soon… 7:30 p.m. hit, and the doors swung open to officially welcome in the many Disney stars to the club!
First to enter the large abode were the classic Disney animated stars that were hand-drawn, made with loving care & dedication by the Walt Disney Animation family. From Disney's own 1937 full-length animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarves all the way to Disney's 2009 The Princess and the Frog, the hand-drawn characters walked into the legendary dinner theater club. Heroes, heroines, villains, villainesses, sidekicks/partners, minor characters and more from all of the animated movie films rushed in to find suitable seats for the night's festivities.
Next up was the Disney-Pixar characters that hailed from movie films, from Disney's 1993 unique The Nightmare Before Christmas all the way to Disney-Pixar's 2018 The Incredibles 2 had entered the House of Mouse. Due to ToonTown's unique properties, the 3D computer generated characters were changed to 2D to accommodate for the sudden change.
The next group of people to come into Mickey & Minnie's establishment were the Disney live-action film stars, those that hailed from the real world. From Disney's 1950 film Treasure Island to Disney's 2018 Christopher Robin, the stars & starlets were all coming in to be part of the action hosted by the legendary mouse and his staff. They had been turned into hand-drawn animated characters as well, since they were now in a cartoon environment.
Next up were the stars that are featured in TV animated series, from Disney's 1985 The Adventures of the Gummi Bears all the way to Disney's 2018 Fancy Nancy. This included shows that had appeared in Disney Channel, Toon Disney, Disney XD and Disney Junior. Again, the 3D computer generated stars & starlets were changed to 2D like the ones from the 3D movie characters.
And the final ones were the live-action television stars, from Disney's 1955 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all the way to Disney's 2018 Coop and Cami Ask the World were now coming in to find their seats in the dinner theater club. Like the others, they had been transformed from flesh & blood to animation.
Now even though all of the Disney guests had arrived in on the scene… it was not the end of it, as now coming in were the writers of the real world… the Authors! These special beings were allowed to keep their flesh & blood forms, even though they were in a cartoon environment.
Coming in first was DJ Rodriguez, the creator of the Monsters and Magic series that has been a hit for quite some time in both the Disney and Toho universe. He smiled and waved to the guests who had turned to see him and the other Authors come. He did not go into the main area of the club, but rather stood by the side near the doorway. It seems that he was waiting for someone, but who… it was anyone's guess.
The rest of the Authors came in on the scene, with their OC creations by their side. The House of Mouse was once again greeted by superkoola, Mickol93, Darkness Rissing, Gods angry man, GODZILLA1996, LORD DESTRYUK, NaruHinaProduction2014, King of 2211, Kearitona Sjachraelgil, ANBRIE, Rod, DRAGONDAVE45, SaurusRock625, Yami Null, Japan Boy and more! Many of the Disney stars and starlets cheered at seeing so many beings from all over the world, connected to one another via their stories. The OC's of the potent writers mingled with the characters, and also OC's that belonged to the Monsters and Magic series.
SaurusRock625 avatar form for the event was a new one that was different from the one he showed up as at the music event ceremonies. His new form he decided to call Galvatron, in honor of the Transformer villain that was reborn after being resurrected by a planet-class Transformer Unicron. However, his form was not that of a machine… but rather that of a duelist from the anime series Yugioh! 5-D's series. He wore an outfit that was similar to a character named Yusei Fudo, but underneath it was a royal blue muscle shirt. He wore a Duel Disk from the anime series that showcased his allegiance to a group known as Obelisk Blue. His hairstyle was similar to that of the character known as Yugi Motou, but the red part was replaced with purple coloring. And his eyes were narrow like the character's dark-incarnations Yami & Atem, but also brown in color.
All in all, this showcased to the Disney realm that Author's forms varied and were very much imaginative.
Donald went to DJ and asked, "Excuse me Mr. Rodriguez, but… why are you waiting here on the side? You expecting someone?".
The Hispanic lad from San Antonio chuckled and answered, "Yes, I am. In fact… ah, here they are now. Donald, mind if I use a microphone please?". The duck was a bit perplexed by the request, but he managed to fulfill the young man's request by going to Daisy and asking her for use of the portable microphone that she kept in her desk. The fine female duck always kept spare microphones in her work area in case of emergencies. Donald went back to DJ, handing him the device as he turned it on.
The small sound of him tapping on the mike got the attention of most of the club, as the guests turned around to see him. DJ looked to all and announced, "Ahem! Hello House of Mouse guests! I'm sorry if this seems a bit strange and unusual for the night, but I just wanted to get your attention… since we have three special guests coming in to the club! It's their first time here, so please give them a warm welcome.".
Megara from Disney's 1997 animated film Hercules inquired, "So who are these special guests, Rodriguez? I imagine they must be pretty important if you're doing this for them.". The lovely little lady and wife of Hercules still had the sass and spirit that made her a beloved character, and was not afraid to show it!
DJ smiled at the spirited beauty and answered, "First, two of them are Authors. One of them has recently started to read my Monsters and Magic series, and has actually grown of fondness for Disney and Toho. It is still blooming, but hopefully it will continue to grow into something more profound. In a ways, she is like the Disney Princesses when they started the Kaiju Supremes group. The other is another friend of mine that invited as well.". The crowd looked over to several tables that were close together, the occupants in the chairs being the members of said group that came together frequently to discuss about the Toho kaiju and other giant beasts that came from different worlds. The group consisted mostly of the Disney ladies who had been in DJ's stories, those who had bonded with the Toho legends like Godzilla.
The Hispanic lad continued, "The third special guest is a cartoon character from another place, from the Nickelodeon side in Florida. He is different yes, but one of my Author friends wanted to bring him along as her date. She has a good crush on him, and also wanted a bit of a familiar face to be by her side while she is here.". This did surprise the Disney stars very much. All over the world, there were various cartoon communities that were separate outside from the human world. Each had their own series and characters living there, and it was extremely rare for another being from another community to go to another. While the anime/manga community in Japan had started to open their doors to Disney, and vice versa, those within the United States normally just kept to themselves.
Author Kearitona Sjachraelgil exclaimed, "Hey, it's alright by me! I'd say we welcome these three with open arms! What say you all?!". This got a rousing cheer from a majority of the Disney cast, though some were still not so keen on the idea of having another guest from the Nickelodeon community come to their neck of the woods.
DJ smiled at his lady love, glad to hear such words from her. Gathering his thoughts once more, he looked to the door window… and saw two shadows approaching. With a large smile he exclaimed, "And now, ladies and gentlemen… boys and girls of all ages… and various creatures as well… I present to you my new friend and her date! Give a warm welcome to… Author Dreams Come True 996 & her date Danny Fenton from the series Danny Phantom!".
The door was opened by Max Goof, and coming in was a very beautiful young lady that was quite a sight to see. The single male characters of Disney had their eyes shoot out at seeing such a lovely lady, who was wearing a dress that was elegant and classy. Since it was her first time in the House of Mouse, she wanted to look her very best. Even those that were with their wives/girlfriends had to admit that she was quite the beauty.
On her arm was a young teenage lad that was the famous Danny Fenton, a human that had ghost essence mixed in with his being on a DNA-level. Due to this, he could turn into his spiritual alter-ego that named Danny Phantom! In his Hero-form, he had the powers of a spirit such as invisibility, going intangible, and also shooting a ray of energy that was ectoplasmic. He also had a good head on his shoulders, learned from his mistakes, and also had started out to really see more of himself. Both in his regular and Hero form. He was in a suit, showing that like his date, he wanted to show a little class as well.
DJ announced yet again, "And here is our third special guest! One of my best friends I have had the pleasure of talking to, and she is friends with Keara! Everyone, meet Author Rose Spooks!". Coming through the doorway was another female Author, one who looked very beautiful and dressed classy for the occasion as well. The citizens of the Disney realm also welcomed her with rousing cheers, Tigger bouncing up to the newcomer and shaking her hand while bouncing on his tail. Well, it was preferable than having him bounce on her in the normal way he usually does it with Winnie the Pooh & friends.
The newest guests of the dinner theater club shyly waved hello to everyone… and the answer was another cheer that really welcomed and calmed their souls. DJ went to the three, shaking hands with Danny and giving courtesy bow to Dreams and Rose before saying, "Welcome you three to the most popular spot in all of Downtown Toon Town Disney! Glad you could make it!".
The young Dreams woman blushed and replied softly, "Thank you DJ! We're glad to be here as well! So many famous stars… it's incredible!". Indeed, the Author was in awe at seeing so many Disney characters, old & new. She saw her fellow members/friends from the Kaiju Supremes at the tables, smiling brightly & waving to them. They all waved back, the ladies and the men who were also part of that group also glad to see her.
Danny put in, "I'll say! I had a bit of doubt when Dreams Come True 996 coaxed me to come here from Florida & the Nickelodeon community. But now after seeing the sights, and this… I have to say, this place is awesome!". The halfa waved to some of the legendary heroes of Disney like Hercules, James P. Sullivan, King Philip Valentin, King Eric Marcel, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Steve Rogers, Simba and more! The Disney heroes returned the gesture, seeing that the new guy didn't look too bad. Many of the single ladies in the house however were VERY appreciative on how Fenton looked, their eyes roaming over the young lad's body with a look that was quite flirtatious… while some were a bit more adult like than that.
Rose put in, "Glad to be here DJ, especially with so many characters I grew up watching! And shaking hands with Tigger was a treat!".
DJ nodded and said, "Well, glad you like it so far. So, pick a table and get yourselves situated. The show is about to begin in… fifteen minutes!". Indeed, the clock was now at 7:45 p.m. and counting. The Authors nodded, looking over to the table that held her fellow group members & friends, Dreams rushing over while dragging Danny with her. Rose went to the table that held the beloved characters from the Hundred-Acre Wood. The Hispanic lad smiled at the eagerness of his friends, chuckling to himself before going back to his table towards his date who was Laurette, one of the Bimbette trio from the original animated Beauty and the Beast movie.
When Dreams Come True 996 sat down next to Cinderella and her husband, with Danny by her side, the duo were greeted by Statler and Waldorf. The legendary hecklers from the Muppets went to the two, introducing themselves to the newcomers. Waldorf asked Danny, "Say kid, is it true you're really half ghost?".
Danny answered, "Yes, I am. Why do you ask?".
The short elderly gentleman answered, "We just thought you had been part of the crowd that showed up during the Muppet Show.".
His Author date asked in a puzzled tone, "Why would you think that?".
The tall one Statler answered, "Because after every time the show ends, the audience is usually half-dead! Doh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!". The two laughed at their own little crack before going back to their balcony seats. Danny and Dreams looked at each other, blinking their eyes and wondering on what just happened. Asce chuckled and explained to them that the two men were hecklers that loved to give their fellow Muppets a bit of comedy grief by heckling them.
Danny smiled sheepishly and said, "Ah, that would explain it. And since I am half-ghost well… does that mean I am half… well, you know…".
Dreams simply smiled and hugged him tight, stating, "You maybe half-ghost, but you're all heart to me! And that is what I like about you!". The young lad grinned back and returned the hug to his lady friend, the Disney couples sitting around them smiling as they could see something beautiful and right blossoming before them.
Soon, the penguins from Disney's 1964 film Mary Poppins came forth and handed to the patrons the menus for tonight's meals & drinks. Rose, Dreams and Danny were pleasantly surprised by the waddling animals, both taking the large folded laminated items and thanking the character who bowed before waddling off to serve more menus.
They opened the menu, and were surprised to the food and beverages that were being served. Well… the names of the meals at least, the food itself looked & sounded good. Danny chuckled and said, "I'm glad that you didn't invite Sam to come with us. I think she would freak out a bit at the menu here.".
His cute Author date giggled and commented, "I think you're right, Danny! I mean, they do have a Vegan section here but most likely Samantha would blow more at the other menu items here.".
As they talked and also decided on what they wanted to order to eat and drink, 8:00 p.m. came!
The lights dimmed down as the living microphone known as Mike dropped down from the rafters, all eyes on the talking electronic equipment. He announce for all to hear, "Hello there, ladies and gentlemen! Now, here is your host for this evening! The legendary titan of the cartoon world, the massive mouse himself… Mickey Mouse!".
After the announcement, he rose back swiftly to the ceiling… and a familiar loud roar filled the room! It was the roar of Godzilla 2014, and from the middle of the stage floor emerged Mickey himself! He looked to be like a bodybuilder, bulging muscles all over his person as he wore a Godzilla headpiece. Some of the ladies of the club swooned as they saw the mouse flex his biceps and muscles… than the muscles deflated, showing that it was actually a bodysuit that was filled with air! A truly wonderful piece of customized design, as Mickey was his normal self & wearing his usual suit. He took off the headpiece, smiling to all as he received much applause from the audience.
He proclaimed, "Hiya everyone! Welcome back to the House of Mouse, and another Toho-themed night! It's good to see everyone here and… ah! I heard that DJ brought in some special guests for the night, and I see them right now! Everyone, please give a hand to the newest patrons of the club, Dreams Come True 996, her date Danny Fenton and Rose Spooks!". Another spotlight was now on them, the trio rising up slowly and waving to the cheering/clapping crowd. Once they sat back down, the spotlight faded and the only one present was the one on the mouse of the house.
Mickey continued, "We have a real treat for all of you tonight! Due to many requests from both Authors and characters, the movie playing tonight is… Godzilla that is done by Legendary Pictures!". The audience cheered wildly, especially certain Authors who had been hoping for this particular movie to be played at the dinner theater club.
The co-owner of said club finished up, "Now before we officially start the show, I need for those who are young of age and/or have a sensitive nature to please raise their hands. Those who raise their hands will be teleported to the Kids Room upstairs, where they can have safe entertainment and food plus drinks brought up to them.". Many hands rose, but a vast majority of them were characters from the Disney Junior shows. Mickey looked to Fairy Godmother Cateline, nodding his head and the potent magical being from Cinderella waved her wand a few times. White magical glitter shot up from her tool's tip, the starry sparkles going over and swirling around the ones who had raised their hands. In a few seconds, the beings vanished in a soft flash one by one, until all of those who rose their hands were gone. A few characters from the Disney Junior area stayed, like the ones from Sofia the First and Elena of Avalor.
Once the others were gone, now situated in the Kids Room above, Mickey looked to everyone and announced, "Okay now! Without further ado, the House of Mouse proudly present… Godzilla!". The audience cheered loudly as the lights dimmed down, the mouse going to the table that held his lady love Minnie and friends there. Horace turned on the appropriate equipment, the large & wide TV screen coming to life!
The Warner Bros. shield and logo appeared on the screen, and shortly after that was the Legendary Pictures insignia. The music soon came on, low and ominous that set the tone of the beginning of the movie. The insignia soon faded into the darkness, where it was pitch black all around for several seconds… and a cave drawing appeared, followed by the musical score that rose up slightly dramatically. The cave drawing soon gave way to an ancient drawing of a sea monster, one rather unique and looking to have been made during the medieval period of Europe. The credits started to appear on the side, old-school white writing like that on a typewriter. However, certain sections of the credits were being whited out. Omitted like one would do in sensitive documents that belonged to military or government. The showing of drawings describing fantastic beasts continued, the music keeping up with the mood.
The pictures soon gave way to show scientific pictures, such as drawings of an Ichthyosaurs which was a fish-reptile that swam during the Mesozoic era. Pictures showing the skeleton of one of the ancient fishes was very detailed, and it followed with a close-up of one of its jaws. The picture was replaced by a paperback that showed the title The Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, a book that was made by Charles Darwin. The title was then replaced by pictures that showed the outline of the history of the dinosaur era, various images that showed the legendary creatures. It quickly showed a picture that looked to be Greek in appearance, where a man was fighting against a terrible serpent. The pictures soon gave way once more to reports of various kinds, the credits still being omitted out even when they were being shown. The music was gradually picking up the pace, the score kept low, fast and in a unique ominous way that would get one's attention.
The reports were replaced by live recorded footage now, a sailor planting the American flag on something before saluting the symbol of the United States. It showed a person being outfitted in a unique diver's suit, then switched to show a sea that held native canoes… and nearby was a break in the water near the man-made crafts, showing a row of spines! The footage than showed an amphibious landing, men in uniform preparing to land. The footage was soon replaced with a map that showed the Japanese nation, than showed a place called Bikini Atoll. It was a place that, in real life, was the site of nuclear testing back when the world was getting adapted to nuclear power!
The scene showed three scientists doing figures on paper, a symbol of two triangles connected at the tips with the words MONARCH- EYES ONLY underneath it. The scene shifted yet again to show building and scientists working, hauling equipment into small labs. The pictures changed to show a brief showing of waves, with the words PROJECT MONARCH showing to all. Submarines were showed, and soon footage of humans getting ready for something as they showed charts, maps and more. The scene changed to show sailors interacting with the native children… and also loading crates of what seemed to be extremely powerful explosives. The scene continued, with maps of locations and projections being played out while the musical score went faster and more menacing. The scene soon showed a young man looking into a periscope of some kind… and seeing an extremely long, tall row of dorsal spikes in the waters a distance away!
The footage went for an aerial view, where it showed the dorsal spines… and what was attached to it, which was something truly massive! The scene changed to show many soldiers on a large sea craft, donning large, black goggles that were meant to protect their eyes. It showed some preparing their cameras to record the event, then switched to show the natives of the Bikini Atoll islands at the shore. The men and women of the islands looked ahead to see the dorsal spines as well, the camera soon shifting to get a close up view of the large objects. The camera switched once more to show the humans putting on their goggles, and also hearing a countdown commence as the cameras rolled, focusing on the shape that was jutted out from the sea. The scene changed once more to show the natives, all looking in awe and wonder at the spines that was close to their home. The scene changed to a beach, full color… and with a bomb situated on the land, with a picture of a crudely drawn black-inked Godzilla inside of a red circle with a red slash mark on his face!
The countdown continued, and the scene shifted to show Godzilla just rising up from the water… just as the countdown reached zero! The music stopped. There was a small booming sound, followed by the clips changing to show the soldiers on the island seeing the result of the explosion! An angry mushroom cloud followed quickly as the radiation bomb was set off, ships that were near the point of detonation soon vaporized with the water as the cloud rose high in the sky! The picture switched to show an aerial view, where the mushroom cloud expanded swiftly and quickly! Whiteness enveloped the sky and sea below, quickly changing to color and shifting once more as some soldiers rose from their seats to witness completely the devastation that came with the explosion. Fire and smoke took place at the top of the cloud, the column below it black.
A shockwave spread out, as if a hammer wielded by the Lord Himself struck the land, creating waves of immense size and strength! The wind from the shockwave enveloped the scene, covering everything in white! Soon, radioactive ash fluttered all over the blank screen… followed by the words that gradually appeared in the white background. The words read: GODZILLA.
The moment the movie started, the Disney characters were anxious to see what the intro would be like. While some have seen the movie, either in theaters or in DVD form, many have not yet seen the film. Hiro from Big Hero Six made a comment on the first drawings that appeared, stating that the artists who made the pictures had some imagination. Cinderella turned to the young Asian-American genius and stated, "It was back in a time when there was not much knowledge back than as it is today, young hero. But at least it is clear that the people of that time saw fantastic creatures, living creations from God Himself that was beyond their imagination at the time.". She was indeed correct on that, for the people way back in the olden days did not realize how big the world truly was. And seeing beasts and birds that went beyond their scope of knowledge truly tickled their imagination, both in good and bad ways.
Upon seeing the omitted words, Steve Rogers a.k.a Captain America stated, "Now that really takes me back. During my service in the forces, many letters sent to me and my unit were often censored in order to protect vital secrets and info. It took awhile for us to decipher and de-code them, but it was really done.". He also stated that the Bikini Atoll islands were real, and that nuclear testing was done there. This did surprise some of the younger generation, as they thought that the word bikini only meant the kind of sexy swimsuits that women wore. When the words MONARCH appeared, some of the more imaginative guests of the dinner theater club commented that the symbol did look like a butterfly with wings. Though Disney stars who had been trained by the government, or self-trained in the art of looking deeper into certain things, were wondering on what MONARCH really stood for… and what its true purpose was.
Upon seeing the dorsal spines of Godzilla, many in the house cheered briefly at seeing the trademark spines of the legendary King of the Monsters! Dreams looked to her date and said, "Oh my God, Danny! This is so exciting! I mean, I have only started to look into Toho and Godzilla, and already I just feel pumped up!". The halfa in his human form just smiled as he squeezed her hand, just glad that she was having a good time. Those like Sofia the First and more that were part of the Kaiju Supremes group noted that this version of the saurian was bigger than his Japanese counterpart, at least from the visual standpoint they were given. Many now were trying to decipher what was being omitted out during the credits, as they had seen the words briefly before being whited out.
However, upon seeing the detonation of the nuclear bomb… many Disney characters gasped at seeing the immense power of the atom bomb. Author King of 2211 stated, "And this is real footage. That isn't just film made for the movie… that is what really happened back then, when the governments of the world started to really branch out to test their nuclear power.". Now this did make some of the Disney characters scared at seeing such might. Even though this was taken many years ago, it was still incredible on how powerful an atom bomb was. Combine that with knowledge that the world now had more powerful nuclear weapons in their arsenals… it was a frightening prospect on what would happen if a nuclear war did break out. And it also gave more insight on why certain kaiju like Godzilla disliked humanity, due to their scientific progress devastating the land with nature & others paying the high price for their actions.
The scene gradually changed to show a forest, land thick with trees and grass on a mountain side. A helicopter soon appeared, the rotor blades spinning quickly while the engines roared with life. As the aircraft continued on course, the camera shifted to show the side of the helicopter that showed blue words were marked on its white side. It was the words MONARCH with the insignia of the mysterious agency mark above said words. The background land was shown beautifully, nature in all its wonder and beauty as the helicopter continued en route to its destination. Words in white appeared on the screen, stating that the land the helicopter was at was the Philippine Islands and the year being 1999! The scene changed to show what was inside the craft, showing a middle-aged Japanese man that looked to be a bit worn. But by what, no one knew. He was wearing an exploration outfit, wearing dark sunglasses. He then looked down, the camera showing he was holding a pocket watch of sort in his hand.
The camera zoomed in as the Japanese man gently ran his fingers over the round metal face, showing to all that the watch was very old and vintage. He then closed his fingers around the watch, the camera switching to show that the man was not alone. By his side was a middle-aged woman named Vivienne Graham who had brown hair and wearing an explorer's outfit as well. The woman's eyes darted from the watch to the man, knowing that the watch held something special to her companion. She then looked outside, and the camera shifted to show what was going on in the background. It appeared that the craft was at a dig site of sort, hundreds if not thousands of human workers were digging into the earth. Men with picks, shovels and axes were digging away into the rock while also going up & down ladders that were propped against the rock shelf. The camera changed once more to show the entire spot where the helicopter was at… a dig site that was truly MASSIVE on a scale that was unprecedented!
Down below in the pit was heavy machinery, large yellow bulldozers and cranes within the deep hole. The workers looked to be like ants, running around doing construction and digging deeper into the planet. The scene changed again, the helicopter lowering itself down near some large metal structures. One had the logo on it WESTERN MINING, indicating that it was a mining operation that was funded by Western business companies. As the aircraft descended to touch down, four people were at the entrance to the place. Three were dressed in paramilitary fatigues, carrying automatic weapons with bullet chain belts worn around their shoulders. The lone one was bald on top, wore a business suit and seemed to look a little out of place. The camera changed to show the front of the people, the three people holding the guns wearing blue bandana masks over their faces while the white businessman looked to be again out of his element.
Captain Hector Barbossa spoke, "Intriguing… what kind of manner of treasure did these land-lubbers dug up, I wonder?". In his view, the amount of work and security shown indicated that something was being unearthed. Some extremely valuable that required both manpower and firepower. Others were thinking along a similar train of thought, as some had seem projects that big in their realm & more often it spoke of trouble. However, while others were wondering about the excavation site, a good majority of the audience were wondering about the pocket watch that was shown & the Japanese man that held it.
Author Darkness Rissing spoke, "When they show something like that, you have got to believe that character is a main one. And that the watch he is holding is valuable, but what kind of value remains to be seen.". Some of the Disney characters around the young lad agreed with him, as they too felt that the Japanese man and his item held a kind of mystery that no doubt would lead to something big later on.
Once the craft landed, the two beings emerged from the helicopter and went towards the businessman. Said being shook the hand of the free hand of the Japanese male and stated, "Dr. Serizawa? Jerry Boyd! I'm warning you, it's a mess! It's a total mess! Monarch sent me in this morning! Took a look around, but I told them we needed you!". He had to raise his voice due to the roar of the engines and the wind that followed thanks to the whirling blades. Said aircraft took back off into the sky, the camera showing now the workers that were hired by the company. Jerry stated that the excavation company had picked up a radiation pocket last month, many believing it to be a deposit of natural uranium. It was due to that assumption that the company sent in the heavy machinery like the cranes and bulldozers, to see if they could mine the pocket & claim the uranium load.
However, he stated that something happened… causing the ground to collapse into a cavern that was beneath the land. The camera changed to show the group walking towards a metal railing, and gradually showing a view of an immense hole that looked to be quite deep. Mr. Boyd spoke, "Best guess right now is about forty miners went down with it.". The camera showed that sections of man-made, steel walkways had been ripped off from the area.
The scene quickly transisted to blackness, followed by heavy breathing and a search light piercing through the darkness. Someone came in on the scene, showing that the scenery had changed from the surface now deep beneath the earth itself. It was Jerry, shown to all now wearing a Haz-mat suit, with portable headlights sewn into the helmet so one could see in the darkness. The businessman told his colleagues to follow him, going deeper into the cavern. Several fellow humans followed the person, one having a flashlight that would shed more light into the caverns instead of solely relying on the light within the helmet. The camera changed to show something in the darkness… the objects looking like bones! Jerry stated, "When they first discovered this pocket, the radiation levels were only half as strong. It's almost as if contact with the outside air started catalyzing something.". The group made their way deeper, passing the skeletal structure right on through.
The camera changed to show that among the group was Dr. Serizawa, who shone his flashlight more as he took point now. His female colleague started to take pictures on what they were seeing… which was definitely a curved bone! Jerry, who was escorting them, asked if it was some kind of fossil, putting in that he had been digging holes for thirty years yet never seen such a sight. Crew-men turned on lights that they brought down into the cavern, lighting the place up… and showing that all were now truly inside a MASSIVE skeletal structure!
Many of the Disney characters & Authors were surprised when they heard the name of Serizawa, Louie from TaleSpin exclaiming, "Whoo man! Now that is outta sight! They brought in the doctor from the very first Godzilla movie in like that?! Crazy!". A majority of the patrons agreed with him on that, since the Disney stars & starlets had dived down very much into Toho monster movie history. And to see the Japanese man being named after the very doctor who created the horrifying scientific marvel called the Oxygen Destroyer was very much a surprise for them. Some were wondering if this incarnation also had the powerful device's mechanics and secrets locked away in his head. Some Disney, Marvel and Star Wars villains/villainesses had tried to recreate the potent weapon… but thankfully, they were stopped by heroes and heroines before they could truly test their creations in the open.
Wildwing from Disney's TV series The Mighty Ducks commented, "Good thing those men brought those protective suits. Radiation or not, better to be prepared than regretting it later." A good chunk of the dinner theater club patrons agreed with the leader of the hockey team, knowing that being prepared for any situation was essential to survival. And some knew that if they were there, even without the reports of uranium deposits, they would have brought protective gear regardless. Caverns, especially unexplored ones, might have airborne bacteria or micro-organisms that could be hazardous to one's health. So indeed, it was good thinking that the characters had gotten the protective suits & flashlights.
However, many did let out a gasp as they saw the massive skeleton that was now shown on screen. Pinocchio looked to his father Geppetto and exclaimed, "Wow, Father! Look at that! Those bones look bigger than even Monstro's!". Some of the big-boned beings in the house were skeptical on that, since Monstro & several others like him were quite big. But the majority of the guests believed that indeed, Pinocchio was correct as the skeletal bones looked to be larger than even the whale that had swallowed Geppetto, Cleo, Figaro and Pinocchio down whole. Author Dreams Come True 996 clung to Danny's arm, whispering to her date that she would be scared stiff if she was walking through a skeleton that large. She was not alone, as many men, women, some brave children and others would have been freaking out at seeing such a towering structure of bones.
Those of scientific minds were not just in awe, but also daydreaming what they would do if they found such an amazing find. Some characters like Jane Porter & Scrooge McDuck wanted to donate the bones to the British Museum of Natural History, to display the skeleton for the world to see. For the advancement of science in the direction of preservation. Or in Scrooge's case, get a hefty tax break. Those who used bones in a more traditional sense like magic & medicine were wondering if the bones had special properties that would benefit mankind in the health or magical sense. Even quack doctor villain Dr. Terminus from Disney's Pete's Dragon was wondering if the bones held such properties.
However… those of the military minds wanted to see if they could utilize the bones to produce weapons that would secure them power. To unlock a secret that would give them access to something that would aid them in building a military power.
Vivienne whispered in awe at what she saw before her, asking if it was possible… if it was him. The Japanese doctor's gaze never left the skeletal structure as he answered, "No. This is much older.". Jerry called out to them, stating that he had something that they needed to see. The camera switched to show a crew-man taking pictures, bright flashes of white light filling the area briefly before fading. Someone was shouting in a foreign language, various men in Haz-mat suits combing around the skeleton. Dr. Serizawa and his colleagues continued further into the cavern, going through what now looked to be a spinal column with the ribcage bones showing. The doctor's female friend produced a Geiger Counter, loud clicking noise filling the air as it detected substantial amounts of radiation. However, the clicking increased in intensity and frequency… as she neared something that was hanging from the bones!
As some of the crew started to take pictures of the large object, Miss Graham looked to her companion and asked on what is it she was seeing. Dr. Serizawa merely shook his head, in slight awe on what he was seeing. She inquired if it was some kind of egg, as the object looked like a seed pod that was covered in some kind of slime of sort. She asked if it was a dormant spore, since it also looked to be plant-like as well. The camera shifted to go around behind the Japanese man, slowly panning upward to show that the pod was actually attached to the rock, not the skeleton. His flashlight showed that the pod seemed to be connected with something. The female stated, "The bones are fossilized… but this formation seems to be perfectly preserved.". The light traced to the other attachment, but instead of finding a similar pod… they found nothing.
Jerry spoke as he neared the broken object, "This one looks broken. Like something came out of it.". The camera showed the puzzlement that was on the doctor's face… and then they heard what appeared to be helicopter blades. The crew followed the sound, Dr. Serizawa walking and soon was in harsh sunlight! The camera went behind him, and showed to all that he was looking at a large hole. The scene shifted from the cavern back to the outside world, where a helicopter was flying by… a HUGE trench in the land shown, as if something massive had just cut through the mountainside like it was nothing! The music picked up dramatically as the camera slowly shifted upwards, the helicopter following the trench path which was indeed wide and huge as it seemed to be going from the mountain forest area… all the way to the sea!
Morgana Macawber, lovely sorceress and girlfriend of Darkwing Duck from the TV series of the same name, turned her head towards Author Japan Boy and asked him how old did he think the skeleton was. The young man answered, "I honestly don't know, but judging by what I see… I would say the bones have to be past at least 100 years old.". Indeed, some were wondering how old the bones of the skeleton was. Those experts in archeology and geology knew that finding something like that was a miracle of nature, and they honestly admitted they would be begging on hands and knees to examine the fossil. In their view, it was rare to find a skeletal structure perfectly preserved after many years & intact.
Fawn looked to her friend and inquired, "Hey Rosetta, what do you think that green thing is? Is it some sort of pod like the ones on flowers?". The Garden-talented pixie from Neverland shook her head, stating that thing that was hanging off the skeleton was definitely not a spore or plant pod. She had been dealing with plants ever since she was born, and she knew the difference between a spore/pod… and something that was else. While she was stated that, some of the Disney guests such as Kermit and Gadget were more concerned about the radiation that was coming from the remaining object. Even though the humans had Haz-mat suits on that prevented radiation & other such harmful objects from touching their skin, they were worried still that being so close that something emitting a strong radiation energy was bad for one's health.
When they all saw the immense trench that was in the land, a vast majority of the animated stars were amazed at seeing such a large slash in the earth… and also worried on what created said trench. Belle looked to her family and asked, "That trench looked like it was made recently. I wonder why the people didn't pick on it with their machines?". It was a valid question, since something that big of size and strength couldn't have gone unnoticed. Léandre answered that he didn't know, but it was most likely that the machines missed it due to malfunction. While he admitted that technology was very powerful and reliable, it shouldn't be completely depended upon. That something that big should have been noticed, either by eyes or ears.
The scene changed along with the music, which started to do a strong, steady drum beat with people saying HA along with said beats, like those done in ceremonies. The camera was now panning over the sea, soon showing a wall of mountains with the words in white JANJIRA, JAPAN showing for all to see what the next location was. The camera rose over the mountains, showing a large city community that was nestled on the other side of the natural rock formation. A city in the distance, suburbs scattered around it with a power plant of sort functioning nearby. The drum beats soon ceased as the camera changed to show a quaint Japanese home, surrounded by green brush with a majestic mountain capped with snow at the peak in the background. It soon transisted to show the inside of the abode, where a man speaking Japanese was playing over the TV. A pair of feet hit the carpeting mats, said flooring having multiple toy objects all around. As the feet walked on the mats, passing over military and dinosaur toys, the being bent down to get a message that was tied to some string. It was a young boy, and he took the object up when a phone rang.
An old male voice called out, "I'll get it. It's probably for me.". As the young lad dragged his hand-made craft out of the room, passing by a large black-and-white toy model rocket that showed the words USA on it with a Japanese poster on the side of the sliding door. The camera slowly zoomed on the poster… which showed a fire-breathing saurian fighting against something with wings! The rocket blocked the monster that had the wings, though. The camera changed to show the young boy in full, an American lad that wore a green shirt with striped pants on. He had brown hair with pale skin, showing he was not a native of Japan. His name was Ford, and he walked slowly towards the door that was filled with the sound of a man talking on the phone, which was his father Joe Brody. He leaned in slightly, peering into the room as his father was talking to someone on the other line.
Joe speaks, "No. Takashi, just listen to me for a second! I'm asking for the meeting because if I have to shut down the reactor down, you're not gonna want to read about it in a memo.". He went on to explain that he had been following tremors that had originated in the Philippine Islands, and now it appeared the quakes were now in the Japanese area. In their own backyard, to be precise. It seemed that there was some arguments on the other line, Joe stating that he was just following the protocols set forth by the company they both work for. Coming around the corner was a lovely woman in a suit, who was the boy's mother & Joe's wife. Her name was Sandra Brody. The two whispered to one another, apparently finding Joe awake was not part of their plan. She told him to get dressed, and that she would figure something out. The young lad nodded, going back to his room to get ready for the day.
Zummi Gummi saw the location of where the next part of the action was going to take place and stated, "Japan? Oh dear, oh dear. That's quite a distance from the Philippine Islands. If whatever made that trench went there, it would have to be a strong swimmer.". The Gummi Bear wizard had been studying various maps from various realms, especially from the real world. He knew that the Philippine Islands were near Taiwan, while not a great distance away it was still quite a journey for anything to go by sea. However, many of the Disney patrons were focused on finding Easter Eggs after seeing the poster in the young teen's room.
Scrooge McDuck said, "I'm glad that man is calling the higher ups on the situation that is happening. Shows that he uses his head, especially if he is working at a nuclear reactor.". The businessman liked when his employees followed protocol, especially when working with something as dangerous as nuclear power. Despite the many safety protocols and designs by the building, he knew that handling something that powerful should not be taken lightly on any level. A good number of his fellow Disney members agreed with him on that. When handling something powerful like nuclear/radiation materials, better safe than sorry.
Mickey spoke to Minnie, "I have to give credit to this guy, he is pretty brave to be handling something like quakes in a place that has a nuclear reactor.". Minnie agreed with him, the two mice having learned about the dangers of nuclear material… and also the consequences when a reactor underwent an explosion or meltdown. Ever since Disney had started to mingle with Toho, many had learned about the ups and downs of handling powerful energy sources. And although some superheroes/superheroines had gained abilities through irradiated events, it still was best to use caution. And also they were taught what to do when experiencing natural disasters like earthquakes & other powerful forces of nature.
The scene changed to show the outside of the house, which was quite lovely with various colored shrubbery around the abode. Thunder rumbled from above, indicating that a rainstorm was on the way to the city. Mrs. Brody and Ford walking out, the son saying goodbye to his father who was more focused on his cell phone at the moment. He told his superior on the line that he was an engineer, and he didn't like unexplained frequency patterns near his work where he was responsible. He needed a meeting, and he was telling Takashi to make it happen. The camera showed the parents getting into the car, Ford waving & saying goodbye to his mother as he rushed towards a school bus. Sandra looked to her husband as he got into the driver's seat and spoke, "He made you a sign. A birthday sign. He worked so hard on it.".
This caused Joe to be regretful, as he had completely missed it. The two saw the bus leave off, the American man looking very sorry for not noticing his son's handiwork. She told him that she would come home early, pick up Ford from school and go get a proper cake for the occasion. Joe replied to her, "Listen, I need to know… that it's not the sensors. Okay? I can't be calling this meeting and look like the American maniac.". He instructed her on when she got to her job, both of them working at the Janjira Nuclear Power Plant, to not even go up to meet with him. She was to take a team and go down to Level Five, which was the lowest part of the power plant and close to the reactor itself. She agreed to that, and also started some playful banter with him. She also reminded him that today was HIS birthday, which he completely forgot! She laughed warmly and started to kiss him, the pleasantly surprised man now hoping to get birthday's more often after receiving a present like that from her.
The car soon rolled out of the driveway, careful of the rain now coming down, and going to the nuclear power plant in the distance. The music started up, becoming deep an ominous as the camera showed the plant in the distance. It stayed on the facility until it transitioned to said area, Joe asking on what he was looking at. Joe was wearing glasses now as he was looking at a printed paper chart, a fellow American walking behind him with a Japanese workman wearing a white uniform and helmet on was telling him what his superior was reading. Joe was looking at what the worker called a seismic anomaly, the graph that showed data that was recording in minutes & not days. The American behind them asked if the seismic activity translated to earthquakes. Mr. Brody answered, "No, earthquakes are random, jagged. This is consistent, increasing! This is a pattern.". The trio continued walk along, passing everyone as they headed towards their destination.
Helen Parr, a.k.a. Mrs. Incredible/Elastigirl, looked to her husband with a sly smile and said, "Heh, those two kinda remind me of us. Remember, how we first started out after having Violet?". Bob Parr, a.k.a. Mr. Incredible, chuckled and said that he remembered. The two super beings had gotten a rough start when they had their daughter Violet, but they still loved one another & worked hard for the other. Little moments, like what Joe and Sandra just shared now, were treasured and precious to the married couple. Helen would often give a little jab to her husband now and again, but it was all playful in nature and understood him very much. Still, Bob tried his best for both her and the kids now. It was not just them that liked the little scene before them, as many husbands and wives also liked the banter shown. They too understood that little moments like that were something to be treasured, not taken for granted at all.
Author DRAGONDAVE45 looked to Professor Von Drake and asked, "Does it really matter what the difference is in tremors? I mean, an earthquake is an earthquake.". The scholar duck of the Disney realm spoke that indeed there was a difference when it came to tremors, and that a tremor didn't necessarily mean it to be an automatic assumption of an earthquake. Those that were experts in geology also agreed with the professor, stating that what Joe told the other American was true. An earthquake had random patterns, jagged to resemble mountain peak patterns on a graphical chart. Nick Fury from SHIELD told the potent Author to always try to see the subtle differences in things like that, for it could make all the difference. DRAGONDAVE45 stated that he would do his best to see the subtle but potent differences, believing that it would come in handy in his next written work of art.
The scene shifted to show Level Five of the facility, which was a small containment room that housed various equipment. Sandra was getting ready, now in a gray radiation suit with small tubes on it that would filter out air and make her breathe in the suit. She looked to her fellow workers that were dressed the same as her and stated, "All right, let's make this quick.". She put up her mask, a buzzing sound going off as one of her co-workers opened the door to a room that had multiple, white pipes on the side of the wall. She, along with four others, made their way down to the heart of the reactor area. The scene changed once more, Joe now in the Control Room of the facility where many Japanese workers were looking at their equipment on the various computer consoles. He walked up to his subordinate Takashi, who was actually a young Japanese adult, and asked him on what was going on. He was hoping that his fellow worker was seeing the pattern as he had just done.
The Japanese man responded, "Yeah. Maybe not such a good time for a meeting.". Joe walked past him to get to one of the consoles, fiddling with it until he got what he needed to see. The camera switched to show to all the monitor that he was seeing, which was a seismograph monitor that showed spikes that resembled a bumpy hill. Mr. Brody asked his assistant on where the source was, where the epicenter of these vibrations were coming from. However, Takashi answered that they did not have the answer but that the seismic activity was getting stronger. Joe looked up to his co-worker and stated that the tremors had to be centered somewhere, as any kind of earth vibrations usually had a center. He looked over to a worker, one he called Hayato and inquired if he had anything to report.
The elderly worker threw his arm slightly and answered, "No one else is reporting it. We are contacting every other plant in the Kantō region; Tōkai, Fujijama… they are unaffected.". He did stated his own theory though; that the readings were actually aftershocks from the Philippine earthquake that had been discovered recently. Joe looked at a wall that contained plentiful circular gauges, which read the power that the plant was producing. He asked if said facility was at full function, Takashi answered that they were… but also suggested that they power-down just to be on the safe side. It was after he spoke those words that the room was rocked strongly, the vibrations lasting for about fifteen seconds before ebbing off a little!
He ordered that the facility be taken offline now, his American worker about to object but Mr. Brody would have none of it! He felt that something was wrong, and was now ordering all to wind it all down. He spoke Japanese to the rest of the workers, going to a walkie-talkie and pulling it out to use it. He called for Sandra, but another powerful quake tore through the building! The walls shuddered, the lights going off briefly before switching over the red emergency lights. The scene shifted back to Sandra, where she and her co-workers felt the tremor as well. The emergency noise came on, all now having fearful looks as they knew that something was wrong… very wrong! Sandra ordered, "We're turning back! Let's go!". And the camera changed to show to all what was in front of her… a room where the pipes had exploded, and a white steam started to fill and expand all over the room quickly! Muttering a word to the Lord, she turned around and started to run with the others!
The Disney characters were on the edge of their seats as the movie progressed, very much wanting to see on what happened next. Alice from Wonderland spoke, "It is curious on how tremors that strong would have no center like an earthquake does. Mr. Brody is certainly within his right to be worried like that.". The mature blonde beauty had been reading books during her lifetime, similar to her friend Belle. She had read up on how an earthquake started; where a sudden shift in the Earth's crust started, the movement strong enough to create tremors that moved through the earth. The shockwaves flowed through the shift's center, similar to how ripples formed on water after something has been dropped through it. Said powerful vibrations would flow through the earth, thus creating earthquakes that varied in strength and size. So in the view of Alice and those of scientific minds, it would be weird for tremors to be getting stronger than weaker. For vibrations to form with no epicenter… and also that no other region was picking up the vibrations, which would be strange enough since they had earth detectors that would have picked up the vibrations as well.
Once they saw the building shaking violently once more, many of the patrons were glad that Joe was ordering the shutdown of the facility. Bonkers D. Bobcat stated, "It's good that he's doing that now! Earthquakes and nuclear reactors do not mix well at all!". A majority agreed with him… until they saw the pipes breaking apart and the steam pouring from them! It was Merlin the sorcerer who stated that it was no good, explaining that the steam there was extremely dangerous due to having it being used earlier as water to cool the nuclear reaction. The steam was not only boiling hot, but also contained lethal amounts of radiation. Even with the suits on, they would not last long as the steam would soak through the suits… and the heat plus radiation would finish them off for good. Upon hearing that, some members of the audience started to shout out for Sandra and the others to run faster! When it came to the Toho movies, the Disney characters more often got really into them.
Sandra called out on the communicator built into her helmet for her husband, telling him that there was a breach in the reactor room & that she and her team were heading back to the Containment Seal room. The camera shifted to show Joe as he answered, telling her to get out of there due to the breach. If she and the team did not get out… they would not last five minutes, with or without the suits. The camera changed back to Sandra and the others, showing to all the team racing for their lives as the deadly steam from the reactor rushed towards them. She exclaimed that she heard him, and were on their way back! The scene changed back to the Control Room, where another violent quake shook the room! The people held on for dear life as equipment and papers flew all over the place! Takashi clung to his computer console, then looked up to see the other workers fleeing from the scene through the exit. Joe rose up and stated, "I'll meet them there myself. Put the safety doors on manual override.". Takashi stated that he could not due to that, in fear that the breach would reach the outside world.
Joe exclaimed as he rushed out of the room, "Keep the doors open! My wife is still in there!". The camera showed him running back down the hall he was in before, the American seeing many of the Japanese workers rushing in the opposite direction he was going in. They were evacuating from the scene, as it was protocol if a breach was detected. The music kicked up dramatically as the scene continued on, Joe keeping his breathing in check as he rushed to the Containment Seal room. The scenery changed back to Level Five, where the humans were still running fast from the deadly steam! Sandra urged her team to go, only turning her head briefly to see the steam steadily gaining on them! The camera changed once again to show Mr. Brody rushing through the corridors, than arriving at the Containment Seal area. He looked down the long hallway that his wife went through earlier, than pressed the PA button to the Control Room, asking if the door was on manual.
Takashi answered that it was done as ordered, but he stated that there was already signs of a breach. He stated that he was already there, and as soon as Sandra & the others were with him, he would seal the door. He picked up his walkie-talkie and spoke, "Sandra, can you hear me? I'm at the door! Sandra? Sandra, I'm waiting for you! I'm at the checkpoint, but you have to run hon! You have to run as fast as you can!". She exclaimed that she was, looking behind her briefly to see the steam catching up while the pipes near it started to burst & vent more radioactive steam! Another strong tremor came up, knocking them off balance briefly. The pipes near one of the Japanese workers burst, knocking him and Sandra down. The other Japanese workers ran over them, continuing on their mad dash for escape. Sandra sat up, looking at the deadly cloud that was almost upon them. She got up, but instead of fleeing… she kneeled down to help her co-worker whom was named Kenji, urging him to get up and that they had to go. She looked up… and the cloud looked ready to pounce on them, like a predator would its prey!
Hades exclaimed, "Oooh, this is getting exciting! Action, drama, and best of all… possible death! Whoo hoo, I just love to see Godzilla moves that feature this kind of action!". The Greek god of the Underworld was not alone, as some of the Disney characters were enjoying the intense action as well. One thing that all had to admit was this; when it came to action and drama, Toho really delivered in its own, unique way. Many of the Disney patrons were shouting for Sandra and the others to hurry, and also some were glad that Joe was taking a big risk to try and save his wife. Some like Sofia the First, Faline the doe, Maid Marian and more were hoping that Mrs. Brody and the others would be able to escape the deadly steam.
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew spoke, "I do hope that they make it, Beaker. If the seal area is breached, then it's bye-bye not just for Janjira but for a good chunk of the surrounding land within it.". The bespectacled doctor/inventor of the Muppets, and those in the Disney realm that were experts in nuclear physics, knew that if a reactor was breached… it would cause damage on an unimaginable scale that would actually last for decades… if not centuries. Depending on the reactor's size and power, a fallout would vary but it would still otherwise be extremely dangerous. The poison from the radiation would be lethal to any living thing, and the place would be uninhabitable for many years until the level of radiation would go down. Moana and many others like her were positive that the team would make it… until the tremor knocked the duo off their feet, and that Sandra had decided to help her fellow co-worker rather than escape like the others were still doing.
Snow White-Rhoda gasped and whispered, "Oh no…".
The camera switched back to Joe, who got a message from Takashi who spoke in Japanese. Mr. Brody replied back in the same language, telling that he was still there. Takashi exclaimed in English, "Close the door! Seal the corridor or the whole city will be exposed!". The camera zoomed in on his face, showing he was torn badly. If he shut the door, he would be assigning certain death to his wife. But if not… chances were great that they along with the rest of the city would be exposed to lethal doses of radiation & heat that would kill them quickly. He talked back on the walkie talking, and Sandra responded. He was glad to hear her, hoping to see her soon and also to hear some good news. Sadly… it was not to be. She spoke that it was too late, that they were not coming in. He begged her, pleaded with her to not say those kinds of words. He stated that he was right at the door, to just run as fast as she could. But Mrs. Brody… she told him to close the door.
She said through the walkie-talkie, "Joe, you have to close the door! You have to live for our son.". Joe was clutching the handheld device tightly, his face showing agony and sadness as he felt hope dropping rapidly like a heavy stone. Another powerful tremor rocked the area… and he looked up to see the deadly steam in the distance! Takashi yelled on the other side for him to seal the door now, while the American looked on in fascinating horror at the radiation steam cloud heading his way! He let out a yell that echoed everywhere, while his Japanese colleague counted down… and pushed the button that had the door slid down, separating the engineer and the rest of the world from the deadly substance! Red light filled the corridor, alarms blaring as the breach was now contained. Joe was learning against the doorframe, sobs wracking through his body as he had just condemned his beloved soulmate to a sweltering death.
He heard some faint banging on the door, turning around slowly to see some of the Japanese workers banging on the window porthole. They wanted to get out from the contaminated room, but Joe just whispered an apology to them. He knew he could not open the door for them, least he and the rest of the outside world get tainted by the toxic mist. The men pushed their way through to plead with their boss… but Sandra was the next to show herself through the porthole, Mr. Brody gasping as he put a hand to his mouth as he sobbed softly. It was killing him inside, seeing his beloved better half trapped & now just waiting to die from exposure and heat. Sandra let out a loud pant, a strained smile on her face through her clear helmet mask. Seeing that there was no point in keeping it on, she took it off… further exposing herself to the deadly mist and hastening her end. They just stared at one another, no words needed at this point in time. Secondary shutter doors activated, a precaution against a breach. Sandra spoke through the window, "Take care of Ford… be a good father.". She started to sob, feeling the end coming & not being able to even say goodbye to her beloved child. Joe answered that he would, his wife telling him to tell Joe that she & the others didn't make it.
Soon… the shutters slammed shut, forever cutting Mr. and Mrs. Brody apart.
A vast majority of the Disney patrons were somber at this, especially the Disney couples. King Azad spoke, "It is really difficult and wrenching for someone to see their better half pass on… and they cannot even touch one another even as they go.". He held his lovely wife Queen Elsa close, putting much love and gentle strength into said embrace. Both husband and wife hoped that if they did go, it would be at a ripe, old age & together. Many husbands & wives, boyfriends & girlfriends, and those that were very close to one another held one another's hand or their bodies as they felt bad for Brody and Sandra. Many an eye in the audience was shedding some tears, showing that they really got into the movie & the characters that were shown in said Toho film.
However, this was broken by Hades as he exclaimed in glee, "HOTCHA! Now that is what I call a good, classic Greek tragedy! Oh man, the emotion is so strong and heart-breaking, almost brings a tear to my eye! Or was it the Reactor Special here? Can't quite tell. Hehehehehe…". Some could not believe the audacity of the bluntness of the Greek god of death. Before anyone could do anything to him, Zeus and Hera, who were close by, did the audience a favor by zapping him with some lightning bolts! Zeus always kept his trademark weapon by in case of emergency smiting, and it seemed that this was justified. Hades was now burnt black, his flame gone out & his body just charred-broiled. Zeus and Hera nodded, then turned back to the movie with the patrons thanking the Greek god of lighting and ruler of the Olympian deities.
Mr. Brody continued to weep, the grief cutting into his very heart and soul deep. His head was leaning on the blue shutter doors as he continued to let loose his sorrow… until another powerful tremor hit the plant! A massive groaning was heard, the structures giving way! The camera shifted to show the outside of the complex, where many Japanese men and women were running from the power plant! One of the massive stacks imploded on itself, showcasing to all how serious & severe the damage was to the facility! The camera changed to show a classroom, where a female Japanese teacher was showcasing a video to her students until the screen suddenly went off. An alarm started to go off, the teacher showing confusion for a brief moment before alertness settled in. She spoke in rapid Japanese, urging her pupils to file out and leave the room. The students started to rush out of the classroom, Ford putting his things away… until he turned to see through the window the power plant. The teacher called out to him, but he did not heed her. He stood up from his desk, slowly walking to the window as he saw more of the tall structures of the power plant crumbling to the ground.
The camera changed to show his face, which showed confusion and fear as he saw the place where his parents worked at starting to fall apart. The camera shifted to see through his POV, the students and teachers screaming outside as they saw the destruction of the nuclear facility. Soon… the entire plant crashed down on itself, imploded in a way that was incredible! Many citizens were scrambling into various vehicles to try and get away from the devastation, the music picking up as the camera quickly transisted to darkness.
Quickly as the darkness had covered the entire screen, words in white appeared that showed 15 YEARS LATER. The camera showed something happening, the darkness being lifted as a city was shown. As it turned out, the scenery had changed to show the audience was now in a cargo bay of sort. Also from the scenery, they were also no longer in Japan. Soon, the camera switched to show the face of a young man that had gray-green eyes, pale skin and short brown hair. A man's voice shouted out in military command for all to rise on their feet, many sounds of feet standing to attention filling the area. The camera zoomed out a bit to show the young man rising, wearing military Army camo-uniform. With him were his fellow soldiers, all U.S. military from the looks of it. An older veteran soldier, as he was getting prepared to move out, looked to the young man and asked, "You got family waiting for you?".
He answered that he hoped so, the old soldier asking how long he had been away & getting the answer of fourteen months. He gave some advice to the young soldier, "Take it slow. It's the one thing they don't train you for.". It was his way of saying to the youngest to savor the moment of not being on duty, to treasure the moment of being with family. He then left, the higher ranking official stating for all of them to move out. The young man was Ford Brody, the lad from earlier who was now grown up!
Dreams whispered to Danny, "Oh wow! That is Ford?! The little guy grew up good and is now in the military!". Her date smiled and replied in a soft tone if she would like to see him in the military, if he was good-looking in Army clothing. Dreams giggled and playfully slapped his arm, stating with full love and conviction that she loved him just the way he was. Plenty of the Disney patrons were surprised to see how well Ford had grown up, and was now in the military. Monterery Jack from Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers commented that the little nipper had grown up, and looked to be fitting right in the army. Gruffi Gummi put in that it seemed that military life had given the lad some discipline, which he was glad since in his view, discipline and self-control were the key to living the Gummi Way. Several of the single ladies commented that the young Brody lad was handsome, and they would not mind going on a date with him.
Mainard looked to his wife Tracy and asked, "Wait a minute, if that is Ford… whatever happened to his father? Did he get out of that power plant before it collapsed?". The lovely young lady answered that she had no idea, but hoped that Joe had gotten out of the facility before it was destroyed. Indeed, that was on the minds of many of the dinner theater club guests, to see if Joe did survive when the power plant went down… and also to see if he survived to carry out Sandra's final wish.
The scene quickly changed from the military cargo bay to a city, the words in white briefly appearing to show SAN FRANCISCO. Indeed, the audience was no longer in Japan but back in the United States. As the city was spread out for all to see, the cars passing through on the roads with nighttime setting in, the camera showed that the scene was now in the suburban area of the metropolis. A young voice was talking to Ford, followed by the voice of a young woman. The scene quickly shifted from the sight of the city to the event being played in one of the houses. A chocolate birthday cake with candles was shown, with the words in white frosting saying WELCOME HOME DADDY! The scene showed a pleasantly surprised Ford, the cake being held by his wife Elle! While he looked to be surprised to please his son and better half, Elle said, "It's a welcome home cake.". As it turned out, Mr. Brody did indeed have a family now. A beautiful and loving wife, and a young son named Sam.
The camera switched from Ford to Sam, the young lad pointing up to a banner that he himself drew with crayons earlier. He was pointing to two stick figure people that he drew, saying that the tall one was his father and the little stick figure by his side holding his hand was him. Other symbols were drawn above the words, but the child wanted his parents to focus on the images he was pointing at. The words WELCOME HOME DADDY was drawn with each word in a different color. Apparently, the little one had some assistance from his mother. Ford asked on what the banner said, Sam looking up and answering, "Welcome home, Daddy!". The parents got into a playful banter, Ford saying that now he was home there was to be cake every night. Elle laughed as she remarked that it was not happening, but her intended said that him being home equaled cake for every night. It as a playful interaction that really made the scene that much warming & good.
The scene shifted from the family eating the birthday cake to Sam's bedroom, where his father was playing with him as he tickled the young lad who was laughing loudly with a smile on his face. After giving his son some fatherly affection, he kissed him on the forehead in goodnight as he turned to leave. However, Sam called out to him and asked, "Are you still going to be here tomorrow?". Ford was a little stunned at the question, but only momentarily. He answered that he would be home, then turned off the light and told his son to go to sleep before closing the door & leaving. The camera changed once more, the scenery now in the living room where Ford was regaling his wife with tales of his time in the military. Elle was laughing after hearing the tale, soon her husband joining in as they sat on the couch together. Mr. Brody looked at his wife lovingly and confessed that he missed her laugh so much. Both just gazed at one another, words not needed as they really missed one another & were just glad to be together for the night.
A majority of the Disney characters, mostly those on the side of Good, were really loving the scene before them. Eric looked to his beloved Ariel and whispered, "Reminds me of us when Melody was born and growing up. Remember, dear?". The former mermaid had a warm smile on her face as she answered that she remembered, and also having in her mind the good times they had with their grandchildren Chibueze & Adamina. This was the same for the many couples in the audience who had children, and also enjoyed a healthy, happy & strong marriage. And those with a blossoming relationship were hoping to experience what Joe and Elle had with one another. The young ones who had chosen to be brave and remain in the Main Room rather than go upstairs with the others also liked the scene, as it reminded them of the times they spent with their parents, experiencing a kind of parental love that was true, strong and good.
However, this was not welcomed by those who did not like the scenes as it was considered 'sappy' to them. Scar from The Lion King made a loud groaning noise and stated, "Oh, someone please spare me from this sugary scene. It may rot my teeth and force me to go see a dentist.". Many of the villains, villainesses, and those with a sarcastic streak a mile long chuckled at the comment as they agreed with him along those lines. However, the cunning lion of the Pride Lands was smacked in the back of the head! And the blow was strong enough for him to feel it, and snap his head back to the front. He growled loudly and turned around to strike fear into the person who struck him… but froze when he saw that it was Author Kearitona Sjachraelgil who had just smacked him, and the little lady was NOT amused by Scar's remark. If one thing the animated beings knew is that one does NOT mess with an Author, especially someone like her. Scar reigned himself in time, offering a nervous smile and chuckle as he slowly went back to sit upright in his seat.
DJ smiled at seeing this, liking that his lady love was able to put the villainous big cat in his place! He wasn't the only one, as like Simba and Nala appreciated the young lady for smacking Scar.
The scene showed Brody putting down his glass of red wine, now holding his wife as she situated herself quite comfortable on his lap. The two started to kiss, to show one another just how much love they wanted to show. The display of affection was getting quite heated, as the couple were clinging to one another with Ford roaming his hands over certain parts of Elle's body. However, it seemed that Fate wanted to interrupt the duo as the phone started to ring. Elle and Ford were reluctant to let go of one another, but the beautiful blonde woman stated that she needed to get that due to it might be work. Elle went over to the cordless phone that was on the table, picking it up and answering it. The military man went over to her and whispered, "Tell him you're busy tending to your husband's needs.". It seemed that Ford was very eager to partake in his lady love & soul mate, Elle soon sporting a large smile on her face as she whispered SHH to her beloved. Ford went into the kitchen to make something… but Elle's face soon dropped as she heard the words over the phone.
The young man stepped out from the kitchen, and soon saw the look on his wife's face. Elle spoke, "It's the consulate. Joe's been arrested in Japan.". The scene changed to show a dresser being opened, and Ford getting some clothes out from it. He soon pushed it back shut, telling Elle that he couldn't find his pants. It seemed he was a bit frustrated, and rightly so. It would appear that he was now packing for a flight to the Land of the Rising Sun to see to his father, leaving his wife and son behind… and breaking his word to Sam. Elle came in, saying that his pants were in another drawer. As she watched him move about the room, she followed him around and asked on why Joe was trespassing in the quarantine zone. Ford answered a bit roughly that his father was a lonely crusader for the truth, indicating to all that this was not the first time that Joe had been arrested. In fact, Ford was showing a bit more frustration that his father was once again at it with his antics that had developed for some time.
As the military man continued to rummage through various rooms to get what he needed to go to Japan, he stated that his crackpot theories is what kept him in getting into trouble. However, Elle was the voice of soothing reason as she stated, "Your father is a good man. He just needs help right now. Ford, he's lost everything.". She had been told on what happened on that fateful day fifteen years ago, on when the nuclear power plant in Japan got destroyed… him losing his mother, Joe losing his wife. Ford remarked that he lost everything on that day as well, but he got over it. Elle said that she could see that, her tone and voice showing a quality that made the anger that was rising in her beau ebb away.
Little Piglet looked to nearby Author ANBRIE and asked, "Ummm… excuse me, Mr. ANBRIE. But can you tell me why Ford's father is in Japan? I thought that he would be in the United States with his son and the family?". Said Author whispered that Joe had been struck hard with grief on what had happened earlier in the film, with the loss of his wife Sandra. And from what was shown, that he stayed behind in Japan to learn more on what happened on that fateful day. The patrons of the House of Mouse were no strangers to conspiracies and theories, especially certain characters such as Dipper Pine from Disney's Gravity Falls. Some theories and such were decent and worth thinking on sometimes… while some were WAY out there, making many scratch their heads & wonder if the person/persons that stated said theories were right in the head and heart.
Wreck-It Ralph looked to his friend Fix-It Felix and asked on his view of what happened in Japan. The handyman was about to answer, when his wife Sgt. Tamora Jean Calhoun put a steady hand on his shoulder. It appears that she wanted to answer Ralph, so Felix let her. The blonde beauty shooter stated, "I may not know much about nuclear plants and such, but I do know this. With the connection between MONARCH, the Philippine Islands and the tremors those workers reported in… I know that Joe may not be completely wrong in investigating it.". The lovely, lethal lady was a soldier who had a keen eye for detail in anything, and she could see a connection that perhaps Joe did too. Other patrons in the room were on the same line of thinking as her, contemplating that perhaps that while Joe did lose much… he was not completely in the wrong for looking more into what happened that had him lose his wife. The characters all turned their attention back to the movie to see on what happened next.
The camera showed Ford as he sighed, turning to her and saying, "I'm sorry, it's just… every time I let him in close, he always tries to drag me back. And I can't! I can't put our family through that.". It would seem that in the past, Joe had tried to bring his son back to Japan… to search for what really happened to his wife when the tremors started. However, Ford did not want his wife and son to be taken down into the pit of conspiracies and theories that most likely would break the family apart. Elle simply put in that Joe was his family as well, stating that Ford had to go back to help him. The young man was once again frustrated that his wife was making sense, and Elle came over to soothe it away. She hugged him close, and put in that he would only be gone for a few days & that he would come back to her. This seemed to calm the negative emotions in Ford, as the two soon started to kiss and show loving affection to one another. She assured him that it was not the end of the world, that Ford would come back to her and Sam. The young man simply held his beloved close, really wanting to believe that.
The scene transisted from the couple, to now showing a massive city in the distance. The camera was at sky-level, showing a mega-metropolis that had tall buildings as far as the eye could see! It was also followed by the noise of a plane that roared out for all to hear. The scene stayed like that for a bit before changing to ground level, where many people were going to and fro about their business. Words in white showed up once more, showcasing that the city was TOKYO. It was the most recognizable city throughout the entire world, as Tokyo was the capital area of Japan! The words stayed up for a bit until fading out, and the camera switched to show Ford as he was sitting in a red chair. The background showed people consulting with men in police uniforms, indicating to the military man was now in a police station. A couple walked past the American, the wife and husband going to the front door when a door behind Brody buzzed and opened up. Emerging with a police officer in a bulletproof vest, talking on a walkie and following behind him was a young man that was dressed up in gothic punk fashion. The youth was dressed up in such a way that showed his rebellion against regular society, a testament to his will to live like a rebel of sort.
Some of the Disney characters understood why Ford was reluctant to go see Joe, as they had certain family issues of their own. Those like Rapunzel, Snow White, Ariel and more knew what it was like to have some parents that were a bit… off, to put it mildly. However, many were glad when they saw Elle help her husband to see reason and to soothe his anger towards his father. Oliver looked to his wife Melody, bringing her in for a hug and whispering, "Wives are the priceless treasures and blessings from the Lord above. Having wisdom and a special touch that brings us husbands back from negativity. And this proves it, does it not my love?". Melody blushed lightly, but smiled as she returned the loving gesture and sentiments.
Vanellope von Schweetz exclaimed, "Oh, that looks so cool and hardcore! Hey Ralph, do you think I would look good dressed like that?!". Seeing such unusual styles was nothing new for her, since she had seen plenty of unique wear inside the Arcade world. However, this was her first time seeing a gothic-punk style like the Japanese kid was wearing. Ralph had a nervous/funny look on his face as he mentally pictured his friend in something akin to what the kid on the movie looked like. He shuddered a little, and then answered to Vanellope that he would not recommend her dressing in something that truly did not match her personality. The reaction was a mixed one in the House of Mouse; some approving of the goth-punk style while others were not so sure of the look of it. To each their own, one would suppose. Gosalyn Mallard, Riley Andersen, Violet Parr, Vanellope and some of the young ladies in the dinner theater club made mental notes to at least try the rebel look when the opportunity presented itself.
Mr. Brody turned to see the couple from earlier rise up from their seats, the man looking furious at the teenage who one would believe was his son. The father spoke in fierce, angry Japanese dialect as he and his wife walked over to the youth. The parents had started to argue briefly with the teen, who said nothing in return. The father took him by the arm, and the trio left the police station with the matriarch having a bit more choice words for his offspring. The camera showed Ford looking as the family left the building, and in the background through the wired police window… emerged Joe as he was wiping his face with a towel with two policemen in the room to guard him. The son turned around, and now saw his father through the window. Joe looked a bit surprised to see Ford, a small smile coming onto his face before turning to be escorted by one of the policemen out of the area. The camera turned to show Ford's face, which looked neutral before he let out a breath.
The scene transisted from the police station to a dark room that seemed to be filled with graphs, maps and pictures. Even the door seemed to be pinned with paper that featured data of some kind. Said door unlocked and opened up, revealing it to be Joe. He was wearing a green padded vest of sort, the clothing he wore looking similar to what hunters wore when in the forest. Ford walked into the abode, carrying his backpack as his father followed after him and closing the door behind him & locking it. The two were covered in darkness until Joe turned on the lights in the room that apparently was his home. The elderly man put down the plastic bag he was carrying, allowing Ford the chance to see his dad's chosen dwellings. The camera changed to his point of view, scanning the area that had newspaper clippings, black and white photographs, and more all posted over the walls. After looking about the place for a bit, he heard his father groan and turn to look at him. After the elderly Brody set down his stuff, he looked a bit nervous as he spoke, "I don't get many visitors.". Ford stated the obvious as he did another quick scan of the room interior.
It was an awkward moment for the duo, until Joe started to tell him where to put his belongings. As Ford started to put his things down, Joe stated that even one with a Ph.D like himself didn't get much pay for teaching English as a second language. Apparently he was still in Japan as a teacher of language now, the camera switching to show close-up footage of the stuff posted on Mr. Brody's wall. Newspaper clippings that showed the words NUCLEAR CRISIS GROWS and other articles that seemed to be focused on nuclear incidents. In fact, Ford kind of tuned his father out when he looked around the room more, the camera showing other newspaper clippings that started to show more of nuclear incidents & conspiracy cover-ups. Joe inquired as he checked on some small house plants he had, "So, how's the bomb business? It must be a growth area these days.". Ford answered that his occupation in the military was called 'explosive ordnance disposal', which indicated that he was part of a crew that disposed of bombs safely. He looked to a newspaper clipping picture that showed a huge mushroom-like cloud with the words 1954: COVER-UP IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC, stating that his job was not about dropping bombs, but rather stopping them from going off.
Professor Emelius Brown from Disney's 1971 live-action/animated film Bedknobs and Broomsticks commented, "I dare say, this Joe chap really has his mind fixated on all sorts of conspiracies and explosions. No wonder he has no kind of social visitors or interactions.". The Disney patrons could not argue with that, since it was clear that Joe had somewhat downgraded himself from being an engineer for a big company to being a professor of language… but with a driven mind that fell into conspiracies and such. Some Disney stars and starlets such as Mulan, Mowgli, Jane, Michael and more could understand where Ford was coming from where it concerned his father. While they had parents that did love them, sometimes their actions & decisions had a negative impact. While it was normal and healthy for a balance of views to be present concerning family, it would appear that Ford and Joe's relationship was strained at best due to the elder Brody's obsession that had gotten him in trouble with the law.
Statler looked to his friend Waldorf and stated, "Well, this goes to show you that in every family tree, always a nut or two in it!".
The round, short gentlemen nodded and remarked, "True. You know though, I think that we should hire that Joe fella. I bet he would love to take a crack at a conspiracy that has been going on for years!".
The tall, lanky elderly man inquired, "What conspiracy would that be?".
Waldorf answered, "The conspiracy on why the Muppets are still in business after all these years!". The duo than did their trademark laugh, some hearing them also chuckling on how the two legendary hecklers always loved to make cracks/jabs at their fellow Muppet beings.
Ford was looking at a newspaper clipping that showed the words QUARANTINE ZONE: SECURITY TIGHTENS AROUND JANJIRA CITY, with a picture of two humans dressed in worker clothing beside another picture that had a photo of gates with Japanese kanji written on them. He was about to tell his father something, when Joe asked on how Elle was doing. It seemed that he was in touch with the family, but not as much as expected. He also asked on how Sam was doing, guessing about his age on if he was three or three and a half years old. Ford answered that he was almost five, which showed yet again that his father had been a little out of touch with the Brody family for awhile. He picked up a magazine that was describing Echolocation, and another that showed another subject that showed something dealing with communications and wavelengths. But Joe went over, taking the book and stating, "Oh, hey. Please don't, if you don't mind. I have everything the way I like it.". He put the book back in place, stating that he was now studying bioacoustics which was the soundwave communication produced by living animals.
Ford asked the pointed question, "What were you doing, going back there?". Joe defended that the trespassing action he took was full of bull, but Ford countered saying that he broke the law. However, the elder Brody argued that he was just trying to get back to their old house in Janjira, even though it was still within the Quarantine Zone.
Joe stated, "The new readings are exactly like they were on that day, and I can prove it to you.". He walked past Ford, who had a resigned look on his face but he didn't see it or pay attention to it. Grandfather Brody went on that with a little luck, he could get back to his house… and show to Ford and the rest of the world that what happened during that fateful day that caused the nuclear power plant to be decimated was not a natural disaster. He was about to say more, but Ford gave a forceful shout of DAD to snap him out of it. There was a moment of tense silence between the two men, which was broken by a whistling tea kettle. Joe sighed as he walked slowly to the object that was making the whistling sound, turning it off. He then looked out towards the window, a haunted look on his face… as he spoke that his wife/Ford's mother was out there. That to him, she will always be at the place where she had been put to death by the reactor breach.
Aurora looked to Philip and asked, "I feel sorry for Joe, that he chooses to stay there like that instead of letting it go.". Indeed, many within the dinner theater club felt sympathy of the elder Brody man. Some of the Disney patrons could relate when it came to having problems of letting go of certain tragedies, but in the end they confronted it and gained peace and closure in the end. But what they saw before them was a man that was broken by what he had witnessed firsthand, and was bound & determined to find out more rather than accept what had happened. Although there were some detractors in the audience, such as Taurus Bulba from Darkwing Duck saying that it was so 'warming' to see family talk things out. The cyborg bull was enjoying seeing Ford and Joe get tense with one another, arguing over what happened that got the elder Brody arrested. Some villains/villainess also snuck in a barb or two about the Brody men, which earned them some heated glares from some of the patrons.
Kristoff looked to Anna and asked, "What do you think is back at Joe's house that is so important to risk going back there? And why would it make a difference if something was exactly like it was years ago?". The lovely, fiery co-ruler of Arendelle answered that she had no idea but it must be very important for the father/grandfather to do such a daring risk. However, for certain scientists that were in the audience, it was quite revealing to learn what Joe had just stated. In the scientific world, it was near impossible for certain aspects of data to be exactly the same after many years had passed. In their view, it was a scientific phenomenon that increased their curiosity. Some like Hiro Hamada, Merlin, Professor Von Drake and more that were interested in the science arts were wondering what kind of data that Joe had that would prove his theories.
Ford looked away, not really wanting to recall the day when he was told that his mother died. The camera turned back to Joe, who lamented that he doesn't even have a picture of her, to see the woman who had captured his heart and all of him long ago. His son sensed where this was going, and he told his father that this had to stop. The eldest Brody turned back to face his son and stated that he did everything he could to save her. Ford was silent for a moment, then offered his father to come back home with him to California. Back to his family, stating that his son was desperate to see his grandfather. A small smile soon was on the face of Joe, and the camera changed to show another on Ford. It looked like a decision had been made, as the camera once again. Instead of the inside of a building, it showed the city of Tokyo with wide channel of water near it. The sun was rising in the sky, peeking over the clouds that tried to hide it. After showing the sight of the mega metropolis, the camera changed to show the sleeping form of Ford. However, in the background a man was speaking Japanese over a radio & Joe was responding in the same language.
The son's eyes opened up, hearing the conversation and rising up to see what was going on. The camera switched again to show through the bookcase that Joe was on a computer, and conversing with someone over the air waves via radio. The elder man thanked his colleague in his native language before putting up the radio speaker, setting his glasses down and turning… only to see his son looking down on him as his face showed confusion on what was going on. A little bit of an awkward, tense moment arose up once more. Ford asked on what he was doing, Joe rising up from his seated position as he put on his jacket. He answered that he was heading back to the Quarantine Zone. He said it would only be for an hour, but Ford stated that wasn't going to let his father go… but the elderly one put in firmly and harshly that he HAD to go! Another tense moment rose up, as Joe explained with passion, "I came back here and wasted six years staring through that barbed wire, thinking it was a military mistake or some horrible design flaw they were covering up!". He let out a sigh, a bit relived to at least state this to his offspring before turning around to gather up the stuff he would need to make the journey back to the zone.
Joe continued on, stating that he met a guy one day who ran a cargo boat offshore. Ford starts to look around the room once more, the camera showing a newspaper clip that showed the face of… Dr. Serizawa himself! The words written above his picture showed ACOUSTIC EXPERT PURPORTS TO DEBUNK 'STRANGE NOISE' MYSTERY. The elder Brody continued with his explanation, saying that every day his new colleague goes right past the reactor site. According to Joe, his Japanese friend had placed some frequency monitors on buoys at his request. He stated that two weeks ago, he checked the monitors, the camera now going to him as Joe now looked like a fisherman with large green overalls on his being. He stated that two weeks ago, he found something on the monitor… something that has caught his attention badly. He stated, "Whatever it is they're guarding so carefully started talking again. And I mean talking.". He let out a small chuckle, as if he had finally discovered the key to everything. The critical part of everything he had tried to find out that would explain more on what happened those years ago.
Aladdin spoke, "I really hoped that Ford got through to his dad. But it seems that some obsessions run a little deep.". He knew what Ford was going through, as he had tried to convince his own father, the former King of Thieves Cassim, to give up the bandit life & to start a new one with him and his own family. However, Cassim not the settling down type even though he wished his son the best of luck with Jasmine. While some of the patrons in the club felt bad that Ford had lost his father once again to a conspiracy, plenty were impressed on Joe's dedication to his cause. Those like Milo Thatch, Fozzie Bear, Roger Radcliffe and more who had seen things through with dedication, perseverance and faith even though some had called them crazy. So while the thoughts of the Disney characters were mixed on the drama that was unfolding before their eyes, no one could deny that it was getting rather interesting at the moment.
Maui looked to a fellow Disney star Ernst Robinson from Disney's 1960 live-action movie Swiss Family Robinsons and asked, "Say, what's so great about echolocation and these frequencies that egghead is talking about?". The English scholar whispered that echolocation is what some animals used to locate something they cannot see with their eyes. That they use soundwaves low or high in pitch, like screeches and such, like radar. That the sound bounces back to them like an echo, and they get a mental picture on where to go or to locate something they wish to find. He stated that certain animals like bats, birds and even whales use echolocation. This surprised the Polynesian demi-god, since he did take form of a whale but never really got in tune with its natural talents such as echolocation due to his magic helping him to see better with eyes rather than sound. He made a mental note in the future to test more of his animal's abilities.
Joe continued as he got dressed more that he needed to go back to their old house in Janjira to get the disks, if said objects were still even there in the first place. He stated, "I need the data to be able to prove a baseline here, that this isn't a fantasy! That I'm not what you I am. I'm gonna find the truth, and end this… whatever it takes.". The camera is soon switched to show Ford, who asks on why Joe cannot let this whole event be put to rest. And it was the elder Brody that answered that he sent Sandra down to the reactor room, and he believes that it wasn't just a meltdown that killed her. Ford stated firmly that he did not want to hear this, but his father continued on saying that he knows that his son doesn't want to hear what he has to say. But he put in that he couldn't keep running away from something like this & not burying this in the past. It seemed that Joe seemed to be in a quandary now on what to do.
The decision was made when the camera shifted from the apartment room to the ocean, the music changing to a slightly ominous tone as everyone saw the sea meeting the land. The ring of mountains that acted as a natural barrier to the Janjira area was shown, small waves breaking on the shore. Far in the distance was a small motor boat that was slicing through the water. As the camera panned up, the majestic mountain from before was shown to all, still standing tall with snow on its peaks despite that what happened years ago. The scene changed to show a close up of the boat, as it sailed on though the water as it passed fenced areas. On the fences were various warning signs, some having the radiation warning insignia. The two men in the boat were Joe and Ford, the Brody men sailing right to the place where the incident happened. An old, rusty sign soon covered the screen that showed the Japanese kanji and American words that stated QUARANTINE ZONE. The scene changed to show the duo getting closer to the land, going through a swamp area of sort as there was now tall grass in the water. In the distance was the city, covered in mist and looking like a ghost town.
Ford was shown now in full, wearing a green suit that was similar to Haz-Mat/Radiation suit, complete with gas mask plus air filter. The camera soon changed to show the city of Janjira, dead and quiet as the towering skyscrapers and buildings were covered with vines. With no people around to maintain both the atmosphere and care for the buildings, they city fell into decay and slight ruin as nature seemed to take over the land. The camera panned down to show the underside of a highway bridge, where junk of various sort littered the area. Quickly, some dogs ran on the scene as they snarled & barked, going past a surprised Ford and Joe. The young Brody man asked on what spooked them, since the wild dogs looked healthy and strong. He then instructed his dad to continue on, saying they only had another two blocks to go before they could reach their destination. Joe stood still though, taking a quick look around before taking out from his pocket a small, handheld device. He turned it on and punched some of the numbers on it… the screen showing the radiation symbol, and the numbers 0.000 next to it.
Ford called out to him, asking if they were going home or not. Joe slowly reached for his mask… and took it off! Ford panicked and asked on what he was doing, since they were in a supposed radiation area. The elder Brody man took in some breaths and stated, "It's clean! I knew it… the radiation in this place should be lethal, but there's nothing!".
The Disney characters were again a bit mixed on what Joe told his son earlier; some thinking that it was Joe that needed help to put things to rest, saying that at least Ford was focusing on his future rather than staying in the past. However, plenty of other Disney stars and starlets were on the elder Brody man's side, as after all this time, he wanted to see it all through to the end. And that it would be helpful to have his son be there to help him to finally let get things shown in the light. Thomas O'Malley the alley cat spoke, "I have to give it to Joe there, when he sticks to something, he REALLY sticks to it. Don't know wither if that makes him a cool cat, or a determined dog.". Since he was a cat, it was technically a compliment… sort of.
When the part came to show to all that Ford actually went along with his father, it surprised some of the patrons since Ford was a military man and followed the laws laid down by countries. But Wendy Darling spoke, "I guess this proves that family is stronger than laws.". Plenty in the audience could relate to that, since they too had broken certain laws and such to be able to help family out. A fine example was Fa Mulan, as she had defied the law of only man being able to enter the Imperial Army in order to safeguard her father. When they got to the part where the duo in the city, they were a bit surprised to see Joe taking off his mask… and being able to breathe in clean air.
Basil of Baker Street from Disney's The Great Mouse Detective stated, "It was all elementary for Joe to make such a decision. After seeing the dogs go around, and checking the air itself with his device, it was all simple deduction to realize that there was no danger. No living animal would be alive in a city that was quarantined from radiation, and the device just simply confirmed his theory.". Even though the greatest mouse detective of all time had explained it to them, to others it was still a bold move to remove one's safety gear like that.
The camera changed to show a close-up of a centipede that was hanging on some tall stems, the background showing the insides of a ruined home. The camera adjusted to showcase the interior more clearly, showing to all that time had ravaged the home without care & that nature reclaimed it. A large black beetle was scuttling on a picture frame, the photographs in them faded badly due to exposure from the elements. Mold was growing over them, a thin layer on everything. Joe and Ford came into their old abode, flashlights at the ready. The elder Brody looked around, his face showing like he was lost in time as he witnessed his old home. He looked before him to see the grass in front of him now like miniature trees, blocking a section of the home. He started to look around, Ford doing the same as he took in his old dwellings. The camera changed yet again, this time showing a small toy Army tank that had its treads broken, a large cockroach & beetle crawling on it. A toy soldier laid defeated near said tank. The camera changed once more, this time to showcase a large aquarium tank that had been converted to be a bio-lab by Ford years ago. It was covered in mold, the inside having twigs and leaves in it… with a cocoon of sort hanging on one of the branches.
And on the bottom of the tank were the words written FORD'S MOTHRA.
The camera panned up to show the grown-up Ford, who looked down at his old science project and wondered briefly if the caterpillars he had been raising in there survived. Joe was nearby, in his old office as he was removing some debris off his old computer. He removed another small bit of debris from his console, finding some hard disks that many would be considered ancient technology. He picked up seven of the small disks, examining them as he was a bit surprised to see them still intact. Despite the dust and such covering them, they looked to be in good condition still. He thanked the Lord that his work was still intact, turning around and putting them in his bag to get out of there. However, as he was turning to leave… he saw something by his old machines. The camera changed to his point of view, the elderly man gingerly picking up a frame that had its glass broken. He dropped the broken glass, than the frame to show that the picture inside was still intact & not ruined by time. Looking down… he saw the picture contained his wife Sandra, and Ford when he was very young, and himself. Together as a family, happy and intact as could be. He tenderly touched the face of his beloved Sandra, seeing the smile on her face in the picture bringing back memories.
The scene changed to show Ford as he picked up one of his old Army toys, examining it and perhaps thinking that it was ironic in a way that he was now a solider as well. That he played with the Army toys when he was little, now a military man. The camera switched to Joe once more, who looked about ready to cry, as he held the picture tightly as he looked around. He looked up and found a banner that was held up over his doorway. It was the banner that Ford made on that day when the reactor was breached… while still covered in dirt and moss, the letters were still showing bright colors as it spelled out HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!. He looked down back at his photo, lost in memories as to what happened fifteen years ago. He heard rustling, and saw the branches outside moving about… as if a great wind was picking up. The scene transisted from the inside of the ruined Brody home to the outside, where a helicopter was whirling above with the wind stirring up the blanket of dead leaves on the ground. The city was shown once again, lifeless and lonely until a helicopter flew past the ruined buildings and broken things that were laid on the road. Ford and Joe emerged from behind some abandoned cars, their eyes following the air craft while following it. They went into the streets, then paused when they saw a sight that stirred up many questions in their heads.
The camera changed to show to them that in the distance, across the river from their location… the nuclear power plant facility was up and running, with many helicopters circling above it!
When the Disney patrons saw the close-ups of some of the toy items, many were now buzzing as they had linked the shots to various Toho films. The members of the Kaiju Supremes group started to point out little things that were shown, connecting them to some of the Toho monster movies they had seen. The biggest one was seeing the MOTHRA name on the ruined bio-tank, the dinner theater club now alive with excited murmurs and shouts as they believed it to be one of the biggest Easter Eggs seen so far in the movie. When they saw the part where Joe had found his disks, Hugo the gargoyle from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame spoke, "Whoa! I forgot that people used those kind of things back in the day. I'd be surprised if those old disks still work.". While a majority did find the hard disks ancient in the ways of technology, some did believed they were vintage and should be given a bit more props since they did flourish back then.
The audience saw the nostalgic, touching moment where Joe saw the picture of his family back before the nuclear reactor melted down, and some were sympathetic to the man. Robin Hood spoke, "I just hope the guy has found some peace after seeing that. And also the banner his boy made.". However, the feelings changed when they heard the helicopter blades and saw that the nuclear facility was now up & running. The famous and infamous stars of the Disney realm were scratching their heads on what they were seeing, Author Dreams Come true 996 looking to her date and asking how was it that the plant was operational after the accident. Danny merely narrowed his eyes slightly, stating that maybe the elder Brody man was on to something. He had seen some shady actions back in his neck of the woods, and this seemed to be one in that category.
Ford asked, "Are they rebuilding the plant?". Joe answered that he didn't know, and would have continued on until he turned around… and sighed as a resigned look was upon his face. The camera shifted to show that Joe heard it too, as Japanese language suddenly filled the air along with the sound of vehicles. Soon, they were being approached by Japanese military police that wore gas masks and white helmets with their dark uniforms. They had semi-automatic guns trained on them, showing that they meant business. The camera changed to show Ford harshly pushed down on a seat in a van, he and his father secured in the back of a police vehicle. As the door closed, the scene changed to give an aerial view of the situation. A lone black van drove down the abandoned highway, siren going off as they approached their destination. The camera panned to the right, showing a long stretch of road that ran over the water… and in the distance shone the lights of the Janjira Nuclear Power Plant. The camera changed now to show a close-up of the company's logo, which was covered in plant growth with one of the letters missing. The black van drove past it, going inside the interior of the complex.
Many Japanese workers were at the plant, all dressed in radiation Haz-mat suits & wearing gas masks. The van was directed to another part of the facility, Joe and Ford looking through the windows to see that the place had changed. It no longer looked like a nuclear power plant, but something else entirely but they were not sure what. The elder Brody male looked to see something massive in the middle of the complex… something that started to glow red, the image looking like breathing lungs of some kind. The camera changed from the interior of the police van to an aerial of the facility, where many of the workers and heavy machinery were centered around… something. It was a huge black object of some kind that pulsed red at the top. A man's voice over the PA system stated the words TEN SECONDS, and the camera shifted downwards to show several Japanese workers rushing towards the object. Said thing was surrounded by a wall of concrete and wiring, showing that the people were not taking chances of any kind with the object they were apparently examining. The workers put down the suitcases they were carrying, taking out what looked to be unusual devices of some kind that they put together.
On closer inspection, one could see that the object looked to be actually growing from one of the demolished pillars that stored the nuclear material. And it seemed to rise upward to form a curve of some kind, similar to that of a claw. The red parts of the object started to glow and pulse, the sound similar to that of a heart beat! The camera changed to show more of the immense object, the pulsing flowing through it as the pulses started to increase in frequency. After a few minutes had passed, the pulsing and glowing stopped… and the electricity around the perimeter flickered on and off! The camera changed once more to show the interior of a room, where a computer was shown that gave off a line graph of sort. A man's voice came up as a finger was put on some numbers that showed up, stating that it was seven point two seconds, and getting stronger. The camera panned up to show it was a scientist of sort, an American by the look and language. He wore glasses and stated that they were trending exponentially. He looked towards another colleague who was on platform above him, pointing to the object shown through the window and stated that it was their new curve. Someone spoke, saying that it was worse than they anticipated, another man coming to see the object more closely.
The camera turned to reveal that it was Dr. Serizawa!
The patrons of the dinner theater club were a bit surprised to see the Japanese military police there, and that they had managed to catch Joe and Ford. Author SaurusRock625 in his unique avatar form stated, "It is a bit curious on how Ford and Joe were captured that quickly and effectively shortly after they entered the city. I wonder how they did that… and I do wonder what it is they are building in the facility.". Indeed, some of the highly intellectual minds of the Disney realm were wondering how the Japanese military police were able to pinpoint and capture the Brody men. Some put theories that the military had put special sensors in the deceased city that would alert them to any living thing that might have breached the Quarantine Zone wall. The surprise increased when the audience saw the pulsating object in the middle of the ruined nuclear facility, growing out of the part that connected with the nuclear reactor.
Flick from Disney-Pixar's A Bug's Life said, "That looks like a cocoon. A very unusual cocoon, but one just the same. Never heard of anything that could make a cocoon out of rock before.". His lady love Princess Atta agreed with him, the ants knowing quite a thing or two when it came to the insect world. They had seen many forms of insects, like their friend Heimlich form a cocoon/chrysalises that looked to be made of silky material, and also seen some wasps make some from chewed material… but they had never seen a rocky-like material to be used as a cocoon. Edna Mode from Disney-Pixar's The Incredibles stated in her own way that the object was giving off a weak electromagnetic pulse, or EMP for short which would explain the lights flickering on and off. Though she had seen many superheroes/superheroines have powers like that, she had never seen a creature of the animal kingdom produce such a potent ability. The patrons were also surprised to see Dr. Serizawa there, indicating to all that the ones running the facility and the cover-up of the city was MONARCH!
A man in a black uniform from behind the doctor called out to him, stating that he and his crew had captured two men that had been in the Q-zone, which was the nickname for the Quarantine Zone. A man named Whelan stated that they had bigger problems that they were focusing on, and ordered to have Dr. Graham to look into the suspects. He answered that she already did, and she sent him to inform them, which caused Serizawa to turn his attention from the cocoon to the soldier. The American soldier informed them that one of the men they arrested used to work in the facility before it got demolished. The camera changed from the construction room interior down to what appeared to be a lower level facility, where Serizawa was following the soldier. All around the area in specific spots were other soldiers, garbed in black uniforms and wielding automatic weapons as they stood at attention. The voice of Joe came on as the duo continued to walk, "You are not fooling anybody when you say that what happened fifteen years ago was a natural disaster!". The duo made their way to Vivienne, who gave them the disks that Joe had collected, telling them that said objects were from the bag the man carried.
The trio now looked into a glass window that was apparently one-way; they could see into the room on the other side, but the occupants inside could not see through it. The ones inside the makeshift room was Joe and another member of the organization, the room apparently was a former storage area before it got converted into a crude Interrogation Room. They looked on at the drama unfolding before them, Joe apparently having enough of the words of the other man before him. He exclaimed, "Not an earthquake, it wasn't a typhoon! Okay? So stop- look, I'm tired of talking to you about this. I want my son. I wanna see my son, I wanna know that he's all right.". The eldest Brody male was gaining strength now in his tone and words, what had been kept under a lid was now emerging to the surface in full. He spoke briefly in Japanese at the guard that was situated there with them, then demanded that he be given his son, his bag and the disks. He stood up, his frustration and rage over the years now being shown. He stated that he wanted to talk to someone in charge, not to the person in front of him. The other person was about to speak, but Joe was on a roll as he declared that he was through talking to him.
He turned to the window and spoke, "All right? You're looking at me right now, like I'm in a fish tank right? Fine, because I know what happened here! And you keep telling everybody that this place is a death zone, but it's not! You're lying!". He continued his rant, stating that they had been lying to the public due to what was really happening in the place due to hiding something in the facility. He asked rhetorically that he was right… declaring out loud that his wife Sandra had died in the facility fifteen years ago, and that it was the very thing they were hiding now. The camera switched from the emotional American to the Japanese doctor, Serizawa looking at Joe with something akin to sympathy as Joe declared that he had a right to know, that he deserved answers. Joe now looked emotionally drained, Serizawa sighing as he looked down at the disks. His college Vivienne stated that they were found on him, and to check the dates since it shown they were made fifteen years ago. Serizawa said that he assumed that all of the data from that particular day all those years ago was lost. The doctor than looked at a graph that was identical to the one he saw on the computer… and the lights flickered once again.
Hades chuckled and said, "Hehehehe… I got to give it to the old man, he's got some emotional and rage issues there. Oooh, it would be so good to just torment him with a lot of comebacks and such! I bet his emotional pain would be music to my ears!". When it came to the Greek god Lord of the Underworld, he loved to see mortals in misery and wanted to increase said emotion by whatever means necessary. However, a vast majority did not enjoy the blue-flamed deity's remarks. And they did not certainly appreciate it when more villains/villainesses joined him wanting to see more of Joe's anguish rage. Some heroes/heroines like Hercules, Mulan, Kira the lioness, Goliath the gargoyle, and many more made mental notes to deal with the beings that took dark pleasure in another's emotional pain after the movie. Even the Authors made the same mental notes to deliver some stern lectures or something along those lines to certain characters after the movie was complete.
As the group on the outside looked around briefly at the flickering lights, Joe was back to saying his piece. He stated that it was not a transformer malfunction as he was being told, that it was in reality an electromagnetic pulse that affected anything electrical for miles. The camera focused back on Serizawa who looked back at the graph, than at Joe who continued his rant as he stated that it was that same pulse that what caused what happened fifteen years ago. The camera focused on him as he went right up to the mirror and exclaimed, "Don't you see that?! And it is going to send us back to the Stone Age! You have no idea what's coming!". Just after he spoke those words, the lights flickered off more than usual and a strong rumbling occurred that caused everyone to pause. The scene changed from the lower levels back to the room from before, as the computers started to blare out an alarm while the graphs started to pulse more! One of the scientists exclaimed that the pulses were now seconds' apart, and gaining strength with each pulse! One commented that it was affecting the power grid of the facility, Whelan asked if there was a radiation leakage. A scientist behind the bald American in a suit answered that gamma levels were still zero… that it sucked all three reactors dry!
Serizawa came back into the room, Dr. Graham right behind him. The camera changed to show him come in just in time to see the cocoon object's red areas pulsing and beating faster. The last pulse was so strong, it knocked some of its rocky material off, the debris falling down and causing some of the workers down below to back off considerably. A worker shouted in Japanese for his fellow workers to back away from the object immediately. Dr. Serizawa's face showed once more as he declared that the object was done feeding… indicating that the object was indeed a living being of sort! Vivienne gave the graph from earlier to Whelan, who asked on what it was until he unfolded it and saw the graph. He stated that it looked exactly the same as the graph that was shown on the computer. Serizawa stated that it was this same pulse that started up fifteen years ago, and it was what caused the meltdown of the nuclear power plant. Dr. Graham picked up, "An electromagnetic pulse. That's what it's building up to! Converting all that radiation until it hatches!". The Japanese doctor and member of MONARCH stated that they needed to shut down, Graham putting her hands to her mouth in stunned shock on what she just learned, while Whelan ordered the technicians to shut down the grid & activate 'Wildfire' protocols.
A technician got on the PA and announced, "All personnel, clear the first perimeter immediately!". Once the orders were given out, the Japanese people started to move. Many walked along the constructed catwalks as heavy machinery was activated, moving to carry out the protocols. The camera switched to the inside of a huge crane that towered over the cocoon, the Japanese operator speaking in his native language as he worked the controls and gazed upon the object within the facility. The music picked up on a face-paced theme, the scene switching back to the lower levels, where many workers were fleeing from the scene. Within the van that still carried Ford, who was handcuffed to a pole inside of the back of the vehicle, he exclaimed on what was going on when he saw the driver immediately leave the vehicle. He looked up through the window to see much activity going on, making him wonder what was up. The scene changed back to an aerial view, which showed the cocoon being surrounded now by cable wires that encroached around it. The covering let out another pulse, which shut down the electricity in the area again momentarily before the lights came back on. Once everything was in place, the scene changed back to show the brown-bearded scientist with glasses that was on the phone who stated that the grid was secure.
Author LORD DESTRYUK whistled and stated to his OC creations, "You have to give it to Joe Brody, he says it like it is and is not afraid to speak the truth.". Many agreed with him, as the elder Brody man was right that the thing inside the cocoon could make electromagnetic pulses & was capable of sending human kind back to the Stone Age. In this current day and age, almost everything ran on electricity and much of people's lives depended on electrical devices such as computers, TV's, phones and much more. Should something come into being that was capable of generating electromagnetic pulses on that big of a scale… it would cause devastation and harm on a level unimaginable to the human imagination. Some who were very much dependent on electrical devices would say the apocalypse was upon them, and it would cause societies to revert back to their primitive states… some in good ways, some bad.
When they got to the part where Serizawa and his colleague got back to the computer room area, the intellectual minds of the club now realized why the data was so important & the graphs identical. It was Gyro Gearloose from DuckTales that spoke, "No wonder the data was identical! Only living beings can produce sound frequencies that are exactly identical to each other. With forces of nature like earthquakes, typhoons, etc., each frequency or vibration is different in a subtle way. That's why having identical data from such a long span of time is impossible, unless it's being sent by a living creature!". It was not much of an explanation to those that were not geniuses, but at least it was enough for them to understand the basic concepts. However, many were still wondering if it could be theoretically possible to convert radiation energy to something like electrical power, because that could actually be beneficial to areas that had large concentrations of leftover radiation from tests and such.
Whelan shook his head, showing that he was frustrated that so many years of studying the object in front of them & deceiving the people were now all going to waste. The camera shifted to show Serizawa, his reflection showing in the window as he continued to gaze at the cocoon that was still pulsing. After some moments of silence… he simply said the word to kill it. The camera changed to show his colleague, the woman also pensive that it had come to this. The scientist from earlier than pushed a button, which activated several generators in the area that caused electricity to crackle and spring to life! It traveled along the wires that formed the grid area around the cocoon, quickly striking it as the object seemed to conduct electricity! The ones in the room had to shield their eyes by any means necessary, as the brilliance of the man-made lighting. Down below, the workers retreated to a safe distance as the generators all around the area whirled more strongly as the voltage increased. Random bolts of lightning from the wires struck the cocoon… soon the tip of it exploding in a shower of debris! Japanese workers who had decided to remain close enough to see the show shouted in their native tongue as they moved to avoid the falling cocoon material. The camera switched back up to the control room, where the scientists and other higher-ups continued to watch their project be consumed in white-hot bolts of electricity. Serizawa looked away, more to not wanting to see the thing they had been studying get eliminated in such a fashion. Soon, the lights in the room died down as the noise from the generators ceased.
The monitor that showed the data from the cocoon soon flat-lined, similar to how a hospital readings were. The scientist confirmed that all readings were flat-lined, the being inside the cocoon was now dead. Whelan put his glasses back on, composing himself and ordering to get visual confirmation. The camera shifted once back to the lower levels, where many of the Japanese workers stood still as they looked upon the decimated cocoon, the camera panning upward to show the object. It changed to show a worker walking up the metal staircase, the sounds echoing all over the place as he ascended up. He was at a spot where it was nearest to the charred object, shining a flashlight at the blackened husk. The white-blue light showed trails of what to be slime, a thick liquid of gray ooze. A soft rumbling occurred… and the human's flashlight caught slight movement! The worker peered more closely at the moving spot where tissue seemed to be very thin. The object moved slightly… then exploded with great speed, as it burst through the burnt husk and knocked the Japanese man off the catwalk with tremendous force! The man fell down to his death… while something emerged from the cocoon!
Emerging was a leg with a curved tip at the end, followed by a head that emitted a guttural roar sound as it broke from its prison! The leg lifted up once more, its end flashing a red color before slamming itself down hard on the ground! It created a shockwave that surprised many of the crewmen down below… but it was an invisible shockwave that was the most potent of all, as it was an EMP Blast!
Snow White was surprised as she witnessed Dr. Serizawa giving the order to kill the creature that was inside the cocoon, the gentle First Disney Princess exclaiming, "How could he do that?! I thought that he and the other doctor would try to keep it alive!". Indeed, many of the Disney patrons had automatically assumed that the Japanese doctor and his female English colleague would try to preserve the specimen that was inside the cocoon, not destroy it. It just proved just how risky automatic assumptions were. The stars and starlets of the Disney realm watched in stunned silence as the grid surrounding the cocoon crackled to life, lightning bolts pouring out from spots onto the object. Zeus and those who utilized electrical attacks were a bit impressed on how the grid used the high-voltage in a way that it would only strike at the cocoon. Dreams looked away, Danny holding her tight as her face buried in his chest. She didn't want to see the execution of life, especially in that kind of manner.
When the part came for the emergence of the life form that was in the cocoon came, the patrons gasped at seeing such a humungous insect foreleg and head! However, what was surprising that the creature had managed to utilize its Special Attack- the EMP Blast! Huey Duck looked to his brothers and said, "I always thought that Megalon was the only one that could pull off something like that! Guess we need to add this new monster to the list!". The nephews of Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck had been maintaining their own records on the Toho legends, such as the kaiju's abilities, stats, their strengths and weaknesses. This was done in case any of the Authors wished to write more Disney/Toho stories, and they would have details on any & all of the giant monster's stats and abilities, to see if they could be used in said stories.
The camera switched back to the control room, where everyone saw the cloud-ring shockwave come from the impact of the leg, Whelan exclaimed, "Jesus! Check the grid! Hit us with an EMP! We're losing power!". Sure enough, the whole area went completely dark. Lights were shut down completely, any electrical systems were fried as the pulse continued to spread out far. The Japanese man in the crane still looked down as the lights all over the facility were turning off, reporting to his superior in his native tongue. The camera switched back to Joe, who looked up as the lights flickered again rapidly before going off completely. He looked to the door, hearing the electronic locks come undone… and the door somehow opened slightly by itself, allowing him freedom from the room! He peered out as the door swung more inward, seeing many Japanese workers now fleeing for their lives. The camera changed from Joe to Ford, as the young military man looked around as he saw the people fleeing and the lights going off. He heard a loud sound, a mixture between a chirp and a roar of some kind… the likes he had never heard before. He snapped his head towards the sound, the workers also ceasing their flight from the area, wanting to see what made that sound.
The camera shifted back to the control room, where Whelan was ordering the technicians to get the backup generators online. A worker remarked that they were working on it, but the pulse fried every circuit. Orders were given out to check the grid case, another worker flipping some switches to get the generators running. After some tries, the lights flickered back on to life… and the group heard the roar of the creature that was now emerging fully from the cocoon! The people looked up and recoiled in fright at what they were witnessing; the grid did not kill the creature, but merely sped up the process of emergence! The room rumbled violently due to the actions of the creature, which was massive and was insect-like! The camera switched from the control room to the outside, the massive head of the creature opened up its mandible-like moth to let out another guttural roars it struggled more to break free from the husk it was in. Its eyes glowed orange-red, shrugging free and letting loose more of its unique cries! Back at the control room, Whelan ordered for everyone to evacuate! The scientists and technicians were not being told twice, as all scrambled out of the area to safety!
Donald Duck commented, "Well, that didn't go well! Rather than kill the thing, they just sped it up in hatchling!". Indeed, many of the Disney patrons started to make some theories in their heads on why is the MUTO survived the execution process. Those who loved life and nature such as Snow White, Aurora, Pocahontas, Nakoma had come up with the answer. The MUTO had been overpowered by the need for survival once it sensed the danger, even within the cocoon. And when struck by the electrical attack, it started to struggle to get loose! Its will to survive was stronger than the will to succumb and die. While they did have a love of life and immense respect for nature, after seeing the monster they were now wondering what purpose it had. Would it suit mankind, nature… or just itself? One thing is for sure, they along with their fellow Disney stars and starlets were very impressed by the massive creature that showed formidable will and ability.
Ichabod Crane from Disney's The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad looked to Author Darkness Rissing and inquired, "Sir, what would you have done if you were in charge of the operation there?". The Author informed the schoolteacher that had met his demise at the hands of the Headless Horseman that he would have ordered the evacuation of all of the workers the moment the pulses got stronger. And also to release the Brody men as well, to not leave them behind. A majority of the patrons in the dinner theater club actually agreed with that, as they would have most likely ordered the entire facility to evacuate the premises. And in addition, they would have come up with other ways to eliminate the MUTO other than electricity.
The camera switched to show what was happening on the lower levels, with Joe Brody out of his confinement and bucking the trend that the others were doing! While on one of the elevated walkways, he was walking in the opposite direction of the Japanese workers. Some of them rammed into him as they fled, the workers more concerned in getting out of the area. The elder Brody man looked to the center of the facility, the camera changing to what he was seeing… the power plant workers running away from something moving in the large circular pit, the American standing and leaning on the railing to see the flashing white lights in the pit as something was emerging from it. The camera changed yet again to show the MUTO struggling more with the grid wires that tried to hold it down, Ford looking at it through the van widows as he heard sirens wailing. He turned his head to see fire trucks and the like coming in on the scene, yelling through the door to let him out. He was still cuffed to the bar, so his movement options were limited at the moment.
The fire trucks and fire fighter members all got out from the red vehicles, one of the members issuing orders in Japanese. However, all movement quickly halted when they saw what they had come to combat… and it wasn't a fire. The camera changed to show the pit area, two long curved sickle-like appendages rose up slowly, followed by that unique roar as it sliced through more of the grid cable lines. One of the lines was held by one of the tall cranes, which got hooked the same way a fishing line did when a fish was biting down. The camera panned upwards to show the crane slowly being pulled down, sparks and the creaking of metal filling the air as the machine was being dragged down below! The metal could not take the immense strain, and thus something had to give… and it was the crane itself! In fact, the camera switched to a more aerial view were all multiple cranes that were situated around the perimeter were starting to get pulled down as well! The top tower parts of the crane were now falling down on one another, like a set of dominos! Joe looked up to see the parts coming down, panic on his face as he saw the whole effect being played out. As the pieces of machinery came down, several Japanese workers still on the walkway ran past him to try and make a run for it. He called out to them to stop, to wait since his position was favorable for the moment. That it would not fall on him. Sadly… the workers did not listen as they pressed their luck… but the crane pressed on them. It cut through the walkway, sending many to their deaths!
Ford was able to look and see the heavy piece of machinery come down, and he braced himself as part of it was heading towards his location! He grunted loudly as van was knocked back by the falling debris! Joe saw this and called out to him, his son rolling around in the vehicle like laundry in a dryer! Fortunately, the shock was powerful enough to knock the bar holding the young Brody man loose, allowing him to be free. Once the van had settled, he walked out of it to see the crane being dragged down into the pit below. The camera showed that one of the operators was still in there, the elderly Japanese worker screaming and pounding away at the door to try and escape. But it was no use, as the door was jammed… and soon he disappeared into the place where the giant monster was at. One of the wires that was held by the crane started to snap loose quickly, the sound of it filling the air as Ford turned to see what was going on. His eyes saw his father's, and both looked at one another briefly… before the walkway Joe was on gave way! Ford called out to his dad as he was hurtled down below with the debris now falling on top of him! He started to rush forward to save his father… but a roar filled the area, one that stopped him cold.
Joe turned around, the camera focused on the background and slowly moving past him. A curved appendage with the sharp point curved back came up and slammed on the ground… and the camera shifted to show Joe's body outline as the immense MUTO rose up from the depths of the pit! Eyes were still glowing like a fiery furnace, the beast letting loose another insect-like growl as it rose up to be completely free from its entrapment. Ford backed away, eyes locked onto something he once believed to be quite impossible to exist. He slowly backed away, back into the van he just emerged from. The insect-like giant monster roared again as it brought all appendages out from the pit, the Japanese workers scrambling around mad like ants trying to escape the legs of the immense beast! One was crushed completely like… well, an ant would under a boot. Ford backed away inside the vehicle he was once handcuffed in, wanting to find something to protect himself in any way. He remembered his gas mask, which was still on his person, and quickly put it on. The camera shifted to see through his POV, through the mask. Heavy breathing was now heard as the MUTO stomped all over the place… before revealing it had wings! The camera changed briefly to show the sheer terror in Ford's eyes, seeing the massive insect soon taking flight… and everything going black.
Thumper from Disney's Bambi spoke, "Okay, just tell me one thing. Why did Joe even go in the opposite direction instead of following the workers?! If I was him, I would just try to find my son and get out of there fast!". Indeed, some of the patrons within the dinner theater club were puzzled/baffled by Joe's choice of action. To stay and see a giant monster rising up from the pit, instead of going to the ground level to try and find Ford so they could escape. Certain Disney stars & starlets like Ariel and Quasimodo defended the elder man's actions, saying he just wanted to see what he knew to be right about all those years. However, some who were a bit more blunt than others argued that it was just plain idiotic to stand in a place of danger… especially when said danger is an insect that could put many skyscrapers to shame. It would be debated for some time even after the movie, but the characters decided to set it aside to focus on what was unfolding before them.
The patrons of the club witnessed the rising of the MUTO, which in turn had consequences when everything that tried to contain it was dragged down to where its burnt husk cocoon was at. When they all saw Joe fall when the walkway collapsed, plenty of the characters were worried about the elderly man. Ortensia looked to her beau and asked, "Oh! Do you think Joe is okay?! He took a really nasty fall…". Oswald the Rabbit answered that most likely he was okay… but that he was also injured badly. Some of the debris he fell into may have saved his life by blocking the metal crane that came on top of him, but even if it did so, one wouldn't just walk away from that uninjured. Those with super-powers such as Mr. & Mrs. Incredible could attest to that, that even if the debris fell on them, it would have still injured them. Not killed them, but most likely injure them. They were not completely invulnerable, and even they knew it.
The screen came back to life, which showed a news clip which was a live feed that was broadcasting on TV. It showed a devastated Janjira, and the words on the TV showed this: BREAKING NEWS: KYPN- JAPAN HIT BY 6.3 EARTHQUAKE. EVACAUATION ZONE- NO KNOWN RADIATION LEAK. The words below moved from the right to the left. A woman's voice came over the news, stating that it was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. Elle's voice came over the news, asking anything on her husband. The camera soon changed from the news report to Mrs. Brody, who was on the line trying to get any info from Japan. She asked on the phone, "Okay, could I at least… if you could let me leave you my cell…". The line crackled, showing that something had interrupted the phone call. She slammed the phone on the counter, frustrated as she had no info concerning her husband or her father-in-law. She flopped on the chair, hands to her face in frustration… and in the background behind her was Sam, the small child just standing there looking at her. The blonde mother let out a sigh, turned around to see him and with a sad smile on, got up to go to him. She apologized before embracing him, saying that it would be okay… that his father was going to be okay. That everything was going to be okay… her face showing hope that it would be okay.
The scene changed, from San Francisco to Janjira, where a helicopter was shown as it flew over the devastated nuclear power plant area. A man over the PA system announced that the area was now under Naval military jurisdiction, and that all personnel must report to the duty officer for debriefing. The facility was in ruin, and those still left were now under the command of the navy. The camera changed to show Dr. Serizawa, who was standing amidst the rubble and debris, looking around in stunned shock at everything. While police and medics were working around him to take care of the injured and looking for survivors. Unfortunately, he saw some body bags on the ground… and being carried away by the workers. Some did not survive apparently. Dr. Graham called out to him, appearing as she walked towards him with a tall African-American man in an Army uniform by her side. She called out to him several time, trying to snap him out of his reverie. Once he was brought back to reality, he looked to the newcomer who stood at attention in front of him. The Army man introduced himself, "Captain Russell Hampton. Glad to find you, sir. I have been briefed on your work with Operation Monarch. Now, I'm told your organization has situational awareness of our unidentified creature?". As he spoke, Vivienne looked down to see some of the body bags resting at her feet… hopefully it was not an omen of things to come.
He asked if he was correct in that assumption, Serizawa looking towards him and merely nodding his head. Capt. Hampton stated that the military was now taking operational authority from MONARCH, so he was going to need Serizawa to come with him. Now that the project was literally out and about, MONARCH had lost its authority concerning the MUTO and was now under the direct command of the Army and Navy military. He inquired if there was any other personnel that the doctor needed, knowing that Dr. Graham would be coming with her but he needed to be sure if there was more that the Japanese doctor needed. The camera followed Serizawa, the doctor looking around as he passed multiple body bags on the ground. He saw many of his fellow Japanese countrymen assisting with both the living and the dead… until he looked up to see an ambulance with the voice of Ford Brody coming in. The camera switched from Serizawa to the ambulance, showing the young Brody man with medics that were putting a stretcher into the ambulance… and on the stretcher was Joe! Apparently, he did survived but was badly injured.
Serizawa pointed to the ambulance, helicopter blades roaring to life as the music picked up a bit. He turned to face the audience and stated, "Them.".
Elliot from Disney's 1977 Pete's Dragon spoke in his native dragon tongue, prompting his friend Pete to look up at his tall, green friend and replied, "I know Elliot, I know. I would be worried like Elle too if something like that happened to Nora and Lampie.". Many of the Disney patrons that were married could understand the frustration and hopelessness that Elle felt when she could not contact anyone in Japan. Those like Melody, Tracy, Dianne, Elsa and more held the hands of their husbands tightly, knowing that they would be very worried if their halves had gone to a land that was soon to be reported to be in ruins, and not getting any kind of help in contacting them. When the scene changed from America back to Japan, a majority of the Disney cast were very sad to see so many injured… and also so many in body bags. Hades and those that loved destruction and devastation commented that the place was like a work of art… and said deity of the Underworld was smacked upside the head, this time by Artemis the goddess of the wild/hunt/animals/chastity.
Dreams looked to Danny and asked, "I don't understand. I thought this MONARCH organization was with the government like the military and such. So why are they taking over the project?". Her date/beau answered that even though MONARCH seemed to be with the U.S. government, it was separate from the military even though they got help from it. Danny stated that as long as MONARCH kept giving them results, the ones in charge would stay in charge. However, now that said project was loose and was a major threat to the human population… it was now stripped of its operational controls, which were now given to the military. Dreams nodded, understanding the situation now. Partially, but at least enough to know that it was now the military that controlled MONARCH now. For the Disney characters who served in the armed forces, they were slightly impressed on Danny's description of the relationship between MONARCH and the government which it worked under.
The scene changed to show the underside of a helicopter as it was taking off, the camera shifting from the white underside of the aircraft to the ruined city of Janjira. The whole city seemed to be bleached in white, showcasing to all who saw it from the air that it truly looked like a ghost zone. Spots of green flecked the buildings, also revealing more that nature was starting to become the dominate force in reclaiming the city. As the helicopter flew more outward away from the camera, it panned up further to follow it. This in turn led to showing some colorful old billboards, light fixtures and other man-made creations that still survived nature's takeover. They soon flew towards the sea, over towards open ocean. The scene changed to show the inside of the craft, Ford on a large stretcher as a breathing mask apparatus of sort was covering his face. A male doctor ordered to get his vitals checked, Ford by his father's side. Joe looked worse for wear, apparently having survived the fall from the walkway but just barely. He was looking more pale in the face, the doctor stating that his radial pulse was weak. The camera showed Serizawa looking at the scene, his face firm as Ford continue to try and talk to his dad. It changed yet again to show Joe's face, Ford removing the mask so his father could speak… if he could. The son stated that his father was right all along, and he apologized for ever believing that he was crazy due to losing Sandra.
Joe managed to weakly speak, "Go home to your family. You keep them safe… okay? Whatever it takes…whatever it ta…". His weak, hoarse voice soon went silent as his eyes closed… for the last time.
Ford asked for his father to stay with him, the doctor saying that the radial pulse was weaker now, barely even feeling it. He then stated that they were losing him, Ford calling out to him more as the medics stated he was going into A-fib. The music picked up dramatically as one of them ordered to give more medicine to Joe, to try and save & stabilize him. Joe was breathing a bit hard, trying to keep it together as the medics did their work as best they could. The camera turned back to Serizawa, whose firm face showed at least in his eyes some hope that Joe would pull through. He looked to his assistant, but even Dr. Graham's eyes lowered… as she knew that it Joe's time had come. The scene changed to show the outside of the aircraft... where it was now landing atop a Destroyer-class battleship! As the helicopter landed, words in white appeared that showed the name of the battleship which was USS SARATOGA, which was situated off the coast of Japan.
Princess Elena of Avalor gasped as she saw Joe fading away, muttering an "Oh no…" before burying her face in the chest of her date, Author ANBRIE wrapping an around her to comfort her. It was not easy for some of the Disney characters to witness a death like that, especially those like Simba who had seen his father fall to his death. They took comfort in this one fact; that Joe was able to prove that he was right, and that he did have some words with his son before moving on to Judgement. Many in the audience, Author and animated character alike, knew that it was rare for parents to speak to their children right before passing on. It was nothing pleasant at all, but at least they got the chance to speak to them one last time. Not many were that fortunate, as some died alone… or worse. So it was with some morbid feeling that at least Joe and Ford shared one last moment on terms as equals. As for the son to apologize to the father for everything.
When the camera switched to the Destroyer ship, the Disney characters were a bit impressed by the show of navel might. Princess Kida from Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire whispered, "Though it does not have the sophistication of my people's machines, I have to say it is impressive.". A majority though were in awe at seeing such a powerful-looking vessel, wondering what it would be like to own & pilot such a magnificent battleship. DJ smiled, remembering the time he and his family went to go see the USS Lexington at Corpus Christi long ago when he was a kid. The inside of the vintage battleship was one worth remembering, even after so many years had passed.
A man's voice spoke as the Destroyer was still being shown, "This is our needle in a haystack, people. MUTO… Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism. It is, however, no longer terrestrial. It is airborne. The world still thinks this was an earthquake, and it would be preferable that that remain so.". During the middle of the speech, the camera transisted from the outside of the ship to the inside, at the Command Center to be more precise. The one speaking was Admiral William Stenz, a middle-aged man who had extremely cut short white spiky hair and was Caucasian. He looked to the monitors that were in the Command Center that showed various channels, one that showed the recording of the MUTO as it flew off & another that showed the news broadcast. The admiral resumed walking as he addressed his crew, stating that before the navy lost sight of the flying insect, they managed to get info that it was moving east across the Pacific. Unfortunately, the giant monster had emitted enough EMP discharge disruption to wreak havoc with all their various systems. For the time being, they were reduced to strictly visual pursuit. In short, they were almost blind in trying to locate their quarry and had to use their own physical sight to spot the creature. However, Admiral Stenz stated as he walked to a Map Desk that they would only be partially blind momentarily as he was confident that his crew would bring their A-game & to locate the MUTO… and that it was imperative that they locate the beast quickly.
He looked to Capt. Hampton and ordered that he wanted any & all search options in finding the MUTO on the Map Desk table ASAP. The captain replied in an affirmative before leaving the area to do as his commander ordered. Stenz saw Serizawa nearby, going to the Japanese doctor and introducing himself to him. Pleasantries were exchanged, but before anything else could be said, Vivienne called out to him but used the term Sensei instead of his name. She knew that suffix worked more than calling him out by name, Serizawa looking up to see her and the woman urging him to follow her. Serizawa excused himself from the admiral, going over to his pupil and silently asking on what it was. She whispered that Joe was dead, even as the news broadcaster continued to speak of the tragedy that was had befallen some of the cities that the MUTO had laid waste to. The camera changed to show Joe, silent and still, as he was in a body bag which was being zipped up. The camera panned up to show Ford, the son looking down at the bag that now held his deceased father, his face neutral and firm. Inside, thoughts and other strong emotions were swirling inside of him, but his training as a military man helped him to steady himself amongst the storm. As he continued to look on, in the background a lone soldier was walking steadily towards the room. When he was in the doorway, he knocked softly and called for Lieutenant Brody. It seemed that the young man was summoned.
The Rescue Aid Society member Bernard from Disney's The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under spoke to his wife Bianca, "Oh boy… if those guys systems are knocked down because of that thing, they are going to have a hard time looking for it when they only got their eyes.". The mouse that was part of the international rescue program knew that the humans would have a hard time to locate anything without radar or satellite assistance. Humans had gradually started to see more through screens than with their own eyes, so it was going to be tough for them even though the MUTO monster was incredibly massive. Some techno-savvy Disney characters were already having their minds working fast, to see if they could come up with something to help the Navy get their communications and visual systems back online. However, some believed it would be a good test for the military to utilize their own natural senses rather than rely on technology to aid them in finding the insect monster.
Many Disney characters, and even Authors, took their hats off in respect to Joe when he was being zipped up in the body bag. Since the death occurred on a military ship, to them it was only fitting to show a military-like respect to the deceased. A majority hoped that Ford was going to be okay, and now wondered who it was that was summoning the young soldier.
The scene changed to show the soldier opening a door, now showing a room that seemed to be the Briefing Room. Inside were Serizawa, Graham and two other men sitting at a large rectangular desk that was littered with paper and having a large machine. The soldier stated that Lt. Brody was here, Serizawa going to the American and offering his condolences to the passing of his father. Vivienne added that the group was deeply sorry for Ford's loss, but she soon stated that they needed his help. The camera switched from the people to the machine, which apparently was an old-school projector. The device turned on, the camera briefly showing it before transisting to a screen that showed an old black-and-white film clip that had an announcer speaking. Serizawa stated, "In 1954, the first time a nuclear submarine ever reached the lower depths… it awakened something.". Graham picked up, stating that back then the Americans first thought that it was the Russians, and vice versa. As she spoke, Ford was looking at the clip of the old submarine which was the USS Nautilus. It soon showed the clips of nuclear bomb testing, the screen showing the immense power and destructive capabilities of the atom and hydrogen bomb. That anything in its path was reduced to dust!
Vivienne continued, "All those nuclear bomb tests in the 50s? Not tests.". Serizawa picked up that they were trying to it… trying to kill him. The monitor showed the picture of what the Japanese man was talking about, but said being's head blocked the view from the audience. Ford leaned in closer to see the beast, Serizawa saying that the being in the picture was an ancient alpha predator. The picture was revealed… a hulking behemoth that had sharp dorsal spines on its back, part of it rising from the depths of the ocean. Graham put in that it was millions of years older than mankind, the monitor showing a graph that showcased the layout of many dinosaurs. She stated that the alpha predator was from an age when Earth was ten times more radioactive than it was today. A picture showed up… showing a skeleton model of something QUITE familiar, with the small words printed at the top right SPECIES 5146 ADAM: UNCATALOGUED! Vivienne put forth that the animal, and others like it, consumed the radiation as a food source rather than what most animals consumed back then. However, as the levels of radiation on the surface dwindled, the specific species started to adapt to live deep in the ocean waters… further underground. The projector kept switching from various pictures, Serizawa standing still in front of the monitor while it played an old archeological footage that was taken years ago.
Dr. Graham concluded that the beasts went into the deep oceans, or deep underneath the Earth's crust, so they could absorb the natural radiation that was from the planet's own core. She stated that the MONARCH organization they worked for was established the day they made the discovery of the immense behemoth that Ford just saw now. MONARCH was apparently a multinational coalition that was formed in secrecy to search for the being… to study him, to learn everything they could about the beast that seemed to defy science and explanation. Serizawa spoke as the picture showed an aerial view of the monster, "We call him… Gojira.". Dr. Graham stated that Gojira, or Godzilla as most of the English tongue called him, was at the very top of a primordial ecosystem that had long since passed. That he was… a god, for all intents and purposes. However, Ford just simply called Godzilla a monster. Serizawa put in that fifteen years ago, MONARCH discovered a fossil of another giant animal in the Philippine Islands. That it was similar to Gojira, but that it had died long ago… killed by the beings the projector now showed. It showed what they had recorded in the cave long ago, Vivienne explaining that the pods were parasitic spores of some kind. That there were two pods; one was dormant, but the other had hatched due to a cataclysmic event that occurred when the mining company drilled into the tomb. She stated that the hatchling had burrowed straight for the nearest source of radiation energy… which was the nuclear power plant in Janjira! Once it had settled there, it had cocooned in one of the reactor stacks and started to absorb the nuclear energy as fuel to gestate… to grow.
The Disney patrons were entranced on what was being played before them; the history of MONARCH, but most importantly the latest history of the newest incarnations of the legendary King of the Monsters. Peg Pete, who was sitting with her husband said, "Oooh, now this is interesting! Godzilla in this one is definitely bigger than the others… but in the picture, its head almost looks like the one from Final Wars. And I don't believe that the nuclear submarine was the thing that awakened Godzilla…". The lovely mature beauty was a member of the Kaiju Supremes, and thus had some intimate knowledge where it concerned Gojira. She was glad though that they spoke the real name of the giant monster, though she did like the name Godzilla as well. Peg believed that Godzilla was most likely awakened by the first nuclear bomb that was used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, and that the nuclear submarine that went down into the ocean must have merely trigged him to explore the surface world more. This was a theory that she wanted to share with her fellow kaiju members later on, said members of the popular group also formulating ideas/theories in their heads to share with one another later.
Of course, the characters were surprised to hear from the female doctor that the nuclear tests back in the 1950s were not really tests at all… but rather attempts to kill Godzilla! Those who were very protective of Godzilla, especially the ones bonded to him from the Monsters and Magic series & those within the Kaiju Supremes group like Pocahontas, Nakoma and Moana, were more than a bit miffed to hear this. The audience was a bit stunned to hear the part that Earth was more radioactive in the past than it was now, but some scholars of both the animated and real-life kind stated that it was no surprise. They said that Earth was radically different back in the past, millions and millions of years ago so it was possible that the planet was more full of radiation than it was now. Lilo exclaimed when they saw the skeleton picture, "Hey! That looks like the real Godzilla! You know, the Toho one! Look at it! The shape, the spines… it's really him! They did put him in there!". Indeed, the audience within the House of Mouse were very much surprised to see that Lilo was correct. It was yet another pleasant Easter Egg that was shown in the movie, the picture plus the proclamation of Godzilla's true Japanese name, was a good bonus for the patrons to hear.
Upon hearing that Godzilla and others like him consumed radiation as a food source, but then burrowed deeper to get to necessary natural radiation energy from the Earth's core, it was actually Author Dreams Come True 996 that put forth an interesting theory! She put in, "Say, what if the nuclear energy that Godzilla absorbed back than was like junk food? I mean, they did say that he and others like him went underground to become closer to a natural source of energy, the core of the Earth. And basically anything man-made falls short on what nature intended, so what if all of those atom bombs they used on him was more or less like junk food? That would explain why he is more bulky than the other Godzilla's. Or maybe it could be like steroids to him? Hmmm?". Actually, this was a good theory put out by the latest member to the House of Mouse. They put it on the backburner though, to discuss it after the movie. Still, her idea had merit and would be discussed by many later on.
Serizawa finished it by saying that it waited until it had consumed all of the radiation to hatch, similar to that of a butterfly when emerging from its chrysalis. Ford stated, "Wait, you knew about this? This thing, the whole time? Why didn't you kill it when you had the chance?". It was a reasonable question, but the scientists had the answer for that. Dr. Graham answered that it was absorbing the nuclear energy from the reactors, worried that killing it would release the deadly radiation in the process and endanger the millions still living close to the area. Ford was not pleased with the answer, but even he saw the reason to it. Dr. Serizawa continued on, saying that it was MONACRH's mission to contain it… to study its biology & understand the creature on many levels. Vivienne put in that the agency knew that the creature was having an electrical effect on everything within its sphere of influence. However, she confessed that they did not know at the time that the MUTO was able to actually harness the EMP into the devastating attack it used earlier… but that Joe knew it already when he was brought into the facility earlier. Serizawa inquired to Ford on what else his father had told him, believing that any information his father had could lead them to finding the massive insect monster. Graham pleaded with the soldier to remember anything, hoping for a solution to the problem they were facing.
Ford had a look of regret on his face, slightly shaking his head as he confessed, "I didn't listen… I just thought he was crazy. He was obsessed with all of this…". He let out a sigh, than remembered something that he heard his father telling him something just yesterday. He stated that Joe told him something about an animal call, that the MUTO was talking in a way. Serizawa looked a bit perplexed by this, the lieutenant saying that Joe was studying echolocation. The Japanese man soon realized what that meant, putting forth the theory that if the MUTO was talking on that day when it hatched… that Joe was hearing something else talking right back to the creature! He turned to Graham, telling her to check the readouts again. She nodded, getting up from her chair to leave the room with her sensei instructing her to search for response calls. Ford turned to look at the picture of the MUTO when it was in its cocoon from last night, asking that the parasite was still abound in the world & inquired on where it was headed. Serizawa answered that the massive insect beast was still young, by its standards, and was still growing… and now would be looking for food. Vivienne was still in the room, stating that the MUTO would be looking for sources of radiation. She said that the military and MONARCH were monitoring all known sites of facilities that utilized nuclear energy… but if they did not find it soon, the results would be devastating to both man and nature.
Serizawa spoke, "Nature has an order. A power to restore balance. I believe he is that power.". As the Japanese man spoke this, the camera changed to show the audience the doctor's point of view. He was now looking at the picture of the King of the Monsters that was now on the screen… displaying to all that he believed that Gojira was the keeper of the balance to nature and the world!
Capt. Jack Sparrow put forth, "You know, them eggheads there were not wrong in not killing that thing when it they did have the chance. I may not be a scientist or whatever person that uses their heads for math and such… but I do know that if you release something bad, it doesn't anyone good.". For once, the eccentric and unique pirate had a point as the Disney patrons saw. If the military had destroyed the MUTO when it was in its cocoon, most likely the radiation it had been feeding upon would have burst free from any kind of explosion or leakage from said covering. And if that happened, many innocent lives and nature would have been poisoned by the fallout. A miniature living nuclear bomb, as it were. In the case of the pirates like Jack Sparrow, they linked it to how if multiple dead bodies were found in a water source. That the bodies would poison the drinking water, thus making it unusable for anyone or anything. Some of the famous/infamous stars of the Disney universe still would have loved the chance to study something like the MUTO, even Danny Fenton would think his parents would want to study a giant monster even though their 'expertise' was more on the supernatural kind.
When the part came of Serizawa stating that he believed that Godzilla was the balance to nature, many like Pocahontas, Grandmother Willow and those that lived intimately with nature were very pleased to hear that. Pocahontas's father, Chief Powhatan told to her daughter, "He is quite correct, my daughter. Nature has always had an order, a balance so that things stay level even though it might be cruel sometimes to witness. But it has always been so. And Godzilla… I believe, like you do dear daughter, that he is the balance for that world.". The lovely Native American princess actually agreed with her father & chief of their people. She too believed that Godzilla, from Showa-era all the way up to today, was a natural balance that the Toho universe did not realize it. An being of un-natural power and strength that was actually tasked with the duty to keep balance in a world that was going off course due to man's negligence, arrogance and foolishness in the pursuit of power, knowledge and invention.
Even Moana and Maui believed this, even though the demigod was a bit reluctant to admit that a monster such as Godzilla would be an equalizer to the world. It was due to two things; he had fought monsters like Tamatoa and others, so he & giant animals didn't necessarily mix well. Also… well, he was a little jealous on the saurian's popularity.
The scene changed from the inside of the battleship to the outside on the deck of it, an impressive radar station tower displayed for all to see. The camera panned down to show a helicopter that was all fired up, ready to go with rotor blades spinning fast. As servicemen were walking away from the craft, a soldier and Ford were jogging towards the helicopter. The soldier spoke that their location was about 50 miles from Hawaii, and that the transport would take Ford there. The young Brody man nodded and got into the craft, the soldier telling him that he was going to be catching a commercial flight back to San Francisco from there. Apparently, Ford had requested to be sent back home to the United States and the military granted his request. The door was closed when the lieutenant was secure inside the craft, and the camera showed the helicopter lifting into the air after getting confirmation from a flight operator down on the deck. The camera changed to see Dr. Graham and Dr. Serizawa see the young man fly off to the islands, their eyes locked on the white craft as it flew into the air and headed off east towards Hawaii.
The scene shifted from the naval command to the Brody household, where in the background Elle was helping Sam with brushing his teeth in the bathroom. Laughter filled the room as mother and child were doing their dental duty in keeping the teeth clean, the TV nearby as a female news reporter was advising viewers on the action that was still happening in Japan. However, the camera came into focus and was on the cell phone of Elle. It was vibrating, indicating that someone was calling her… and the ID showed that it was her husband calling. The scene transisted soon from the phone to Ford, who was still in the helicopter as it flew towards Hawaii. He got the recorded message of his wife's voice to leave a message, and he said, "Elle… I don't know what they're saying on the news. There was an accident in Japan… Dad's gone. I'll explain when I see you. I'm headed to Hawaii, I'm gonna catch a flight from there. I'll see you soon.". As he spoke those words, the camera showed the outside of the flying craft as it continued its voyage over the ocean. Soon, coming into view was the magnificent city of Hawaii, tall buildings in sight with mountains in the background of said city.
The camera lingered there to showcase the island for a moment before switching to another scene, which was the inside of the USS SARATOGA. It showed the items that Joe Brody had on with him and in his bag; his old Janjira ID card, the picture of his wife and Ford long ago, cell phone, keys and his disks. While Ford was granted his request to go back home, his father's belongings stayed put on the ship. It seemed that Serizawa and the others needed to view them, as well as the disks that contained the data they needed. The camera panned up to show more items before revealing Serizawa that was working on a computer console. He was looking at various graphs, scrolling along as he held the printed paper graph that was taken by Joe fifteen years ago. Graham told him to keep scrolling, to find the data that match the ones exactly like the one on the piece of paper. She suggested to go near the end of the graph, before the EMP attack. Following her advice, the elderly man soon found a match! He pointed at the screen, and indeed the picture on the right matched the one in his hand exactly. The camera showed the face of the Japanese doctor, who whispered that something did respond to the MUTO who had hatched.
Lilo hugged her best friend Stitch and exclaimed, "Hooray! Our home island is going to be in this movie! Our island is the site of some major monster fights! Whoo hoo!". The young Hawaiian lady was glad that her home was getting some recognition now, Stitch also pleased as he looked pumped up as if he was going to be fighting. In other tables scattered across the dinner theater were the rest of Stitch's experiment cousins, who also looked to be pleased that Hawaii was going to be the stomping ground of some giant monster action. When they got to the part of Ford calling his wife, those who were faithful husbands to their wives were glad that he was letting Elle know the situation. Though some were wondering if the Brody man would tell his better half everything… the truth of it all, not a cover-up story like MONARCH had been doing. When they got to Serizawa seeing the exact graph match, plenty of the Disney patrons were wondering what would happen next…
The scene changed to show the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, or most commonly known as the Honolulu International Airport. The words in white appeared, showing to all the location which was HONOLULU, HAWAII. The airport was massive, both in building structure and land as it covered a good portion of the island. In the background was the ocean, with another island shown in the distance on the right. It was nighttime now, the flight from the Destroyer-class ship had taken quite a while to get to the land mass. The moon was out, but many clouds were shown in the sky. The scene than switched to inside the terminal, where a tram door was opening to let people in. While people got into it, the camera showed Ford already inside. His head was buried in his hands, shaking slightly as the events of everything that had just occurred was finally catching up to him. A man over the PA system greeted the guests to the tram, soon explaining the rules and procedures to the people who were in the vehicle. Ford managed to compose himself, lifting his head straight back up as he rummaged through his pocket. He soon pulled out a toy soldier, a memento from his old home he managed to get before he and Joe were arrested. It soon showed a small Japanese kid who was looking shyly at Ford, who merely offered a small smile before looking down at his childhood object.
However, things took a turn when the tram doors shut… with the kid inside of it, and the parents on the outside! The child, apparently named Akio, called out for his mother and father but it was no use. The door and tram were automatic, so it seemed that the little one was along for the ride. Akio tried to pry the door open, calling out for his mother but it was no use. Ford was quick to action, coming in to try his luck but it was no use. When the tram started to move, the Brody military man called out to the parents to assure them that he would look after the child. As the tram started to move, he tried to talk to them in Japanese but it would seem he was a little rusty in that area. Ford saw the kid running towards the backdoor, but he knew that it was a bad idea so he quickly rushed and caught him. He reassured the parents that he was going to bring him back to them, the tram gaining speed and soon moving to the next terminal of the airport. He soon sat the child down in a seat, telling him that he would get him back to his parents. Akio nodded, apparently trusting the stranger and understanding the situation. Ford took out his toy soldier from his pocket, offering it to the young lad & asking him to take care of it for him. He jokingly stated that the kid better had not make him miss his flight.
The scene transisted from the tram back to the battleship, where Serizawa was writing his findings in a notebook before Capt. Hampton reported to his superior, "Admiral, we've received an intel report. We lost track of a nuclear Akula fifty nautical miles northeast of Hawaii. Could be the MUTO.". Serizawa looked up from his notebook, stopping his writing as he turned to look at the company in front of him in the Command Center. Admiral Stenz looked to the Japanese doctor who walked over to them, stating that they just got word of a missing Russian sub in the North Pacific. He then turned and walked to one of his soldiers, a female going by the name of Martinez. He asked the situation, the young woman answering that Special Forces Team Sparta 1 was picking up a distress signal that was coming northwest of Diamond Head on the island of Oahu. The camera panned to show the young soldier, than upward to show the monitors that were now showing the various locations of the team that was now on the island. Martinez stated that they were on the ground, heading straight towards the beacon that was emitting the distress signal. The camera got closer to one of the monitors, now picking up chatter from the soldiers that were on the move.
Kristoff looked to Anna and whispered, "And that is why we always keep Arnljot close, otherwise these kinds of things happen.". The co-King of Arendelle had a point, sad as that maybe was that it was easy to lose track of little ones in crowded places. It was especially so in the real world, so thus the community in the Disney realm had a strict policy when it came to children in places such as airports or other areas that were massive. The Disney patrons of the House of Mouse were glad that Ford did step in to try and help, and also took care of Akio when the tram was too far gone from the terminal. The women believed it was sweet of the military man to look after the child, and their respect for him rose when he gave his last childhood item to the lad to cheer him up. Monterey Jack from Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers stated proudly that the Brody lad had come far from the little nipper he used to be. His family and teammates agreed with him, but they also hoped that the delay in bringing the Japanese child back would not result in Ford losing his flight back to the United States mainland.
When the part came that showed the news of the missing nuclear Russian sub, the animated characters and Authors knew that a confrontation between the MUTO and the human soldiers would be shown soon. Shang looked to Mulan and whispered, "I maybe a military commander, but even I do not know what I would do if I faced a being such as the MUTO. Especially if anything electronic can be destroyed by it.". While the Chinese general was a proud man of military tactics and such, he also was a smart one as well. He knew when to set aside pride, and call a retreat if need be. If he was in the movie and part of the recon team, odds were most likely that he would have himself and his men retreat the moment they saw the massive monster. He knew his limits, and fighting something that fierce and large was beyond his capabilities.
The camera switched from the ship to the jungle, where a close-up was given to one of the animals that was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands years ago. It was a Jackson's chameleon, a three-horned chameleon that was native to Africa but had been brought over to Hawaii long ago. The animal's fused eyelid was swirling about, looking in every direction as it slowly moved on a fallen log. The sounds of night animals filled the air, but the chameleon soon was forgotten as the camera focused more now on the background where human soldiers were now coming into the animal's territory. The soldiers carried automatic weapons, another soldier moving in on the scene as he was on the alert. He spoke through his helmet, "Anyone wanna tell me why we're looking for an Akula in the jungle?". His comrade nearby answered that it was most likely a glitch in the intel, stating that the Russians reported getting a signal from the jungle's location. The soldiers continued to move forward, their weapons and wits at the ready. Another soldier spoke that he got a reading on his tracker, that the beacon signal was right up ahead. The path in front of them was lit up by a white light, a helicopter flying over them. They had aerial back-up, two of the flying crafts passing over them. They had an aerial view that would aid the soldiers on the ground, spotting something that perhaps they may have missed.
The pilot spoke to the soldier on the ground that they were getting the same signal from the transponder, and that they were thirty meters close to it. The humans continued to move through the large growth, the camera showing them as the signal tracker started to beep like crazy now. They soon came upon a mangled mess of metal, that seemed to be covered in a thin substance of slime. One of the soldiers that held the tracker slowly got closer to the metal debris, the camera showing that he wore a gas mask & that his uniform was specifically made to be like a Haz-mat suit which would give some protection against radiation. Once he got close enough, he went to a spot that was covered with the gray slime and wiped some of it off… and underneath the substance was the radiation insignia that had Russian words written around it! He lifted his hand up, the slime coming with him and seemed to resemble mucus of sort. His fellow soldiers were beside him now, all soon looking upward as the camera panned up as well. It showed that up above them in a tall tree with a propeller that was also covered in the thick mucus slime! Lights from the helicopter shined down to illuminate the area more, and the camera showed the massive nuclear sub now lodged tight in the tree! One of the soldiers reported that they had located the Russian sub. One of the pilots up above responded that they were not going to believe what he and the others up above were seeing right now…
The camera showed something massive at the sub's side, actually tearing through the metal side of the undersea craft… and it was the MUTO! The massive insect beast had ripped through the side of the sub with its mouth, pulling forth and swallowing one of the nuclear missiles that was in the interior of the ship!
Pascal pointed at the picture of the chameleon, very much surprised but in a good way to see a fellow species like him. Rapunzel laughed softly as she saw the delighted expression on her friend's face and said, "You see that Pascal? That's a distant relative of yours. It's called the Jackson's chameleon, but to me it looks like a mini-Triceratops. Wish you had horns like it, huh?". The small lizard nodded, now wanting to have horns like his counterpart on the screen to both defend himself & show off for the female chameleons… though he had yet to find another like him in his neck of the woods. Many of the Disney stars & starlets were a bit surprised and intrigued when they saw the unique chameleon, but soon focused back on the movie when they saw the soldiers coming in on the scene. When they came to the part of the humans finding parts of the sub and discovering that it truly was the Russian sub that went missing, a good majority of the patrons were confused on what the slime was.
Archimedes Q. Porter, the father of Jane Porter, speculated with his daughter, "Fascinating! I cannot tell if the substance is the nuclear waste material from the sub, or if it's from the MUTO. If it is indeed from that flying creature, I wonder what kind of properties it may hold.". Jane gave a small smile, a sigh and shook her head slightly. When it came to investigating something that required to get really dirty in the physical sense, her father was always the first to volunteer. Although he was fascinated by the show, many were not as some of the characters lost their appetite momentarily. However, they all got back into the game when they saw the MUTO chewing through the metal sides of the sub like it was nothing… and swallowing a live nuclear missile whole, sending the deadly projectile straight into its gullet! A majority of the characters, and even some of the Authors, were wondering how it was possible for an animal like that to even consume something that deadly without it exploding right there and then.
The scene changed back to the Command Center, the soldier speaking over the radio that the MUTO was rising about twenty to thirty meters above the tree line but could not tell how wide the beast was from their vantage point. The camera switched from the monitors to Admiral Stenz, who turned around to face Serizawa. He stated, "Cat's out of the bag, doctor. No more secrets. Our highest priority now is safety. There's close to a million people on that island.". He went to Captain Russel Hampton and ordered him to get eyes in the air, to get a visual on the MUTO. While he was giving the orders, Serizawa was looking down as this meant the end of the research of the giant monster. However, he and his thoughts were interrupted when a soldier announced that they were now picking up movement in the water… approaching from the Pacific! Stenz told someone to check out the object, Dr. Graham seeing her sensei soon rise up and walk out of the room quickly. She soon followed him, both leaving the Command Room while the military people did their duty. The camera switched to show them walking down a corridor, Vivienne asking on where he was going. The Japanese man answered as he continued to quicken his pace that he was going up on the Flight Deck. He said that he thought HE was coming. Dr. Serizawa spoke firmly that he HAD to see this, and resumed his trek to the deck outside.
The camera switched to the Honolulu International Airport, where two military jets took to the air! The place was also used as a military base of operations, a mixture of both commercial and military/naval use. As they took off, it was now close to complete sunset as the last bit of twilight in the background was fading fast. The came changed yet again to show four or so helicopters flying over the island, past a tiki torch that was situated on the land. The camera over to show that the crafts were flying over a hotel resort, a straw-roofed bar now in view as the patrons there looked up in awe to see the helicopters fly by. A tall hotel was shown near the place, the camera soon showing that it was a Hilton facility. The customers of the resort area were fixated on what was happening in the sky, the helicopters actually hovering close to the rooftops of the tall buildings. The camera switched to show a couple sitting at a table on the beach, the wife looking up still while the father got up and walked more towards the action, passing their little daughter who was also looking up as well. The camera came to focus on the little girl, who was looking intently with innocent eyes as she watched soldiers rappelling down from the underside of the crafts to land on the hotel rooftop. The scene switched to said rooftops, where men in SWAT uniforms were landing and preparing their automatic weapons as one of them ordered the others to take positions in the area.
The scene changed once again to show the International Airport area, where the tram was still on its way to one of the terminals. The people inside the tram were soon transfixed as they heard the sounds of the roaring jets coming nearby, their heads turning to see the air crafts pass by them with Akio being very much amazed to see and hear such powerful vehicles. The camera soon turned to show one of the pilots in the jets, said soldier talking in code that they were circling the target & to go at their command. The pilot soon got a visual of the target, which was the MUTO! The jets passed over the insect, who snarled at them thinking they were intruders who had come to steal its meal. In one of the legs was a missile, the appendage curled around it and gripping the projectile tight. It was about to consume the nuclear-filled object when more jets screamed past it, the MUTO roaring now at the intruders. This caused it to drop its lunch, the missile falling down and nearly hitting the soldiers down below! Fortunately for them, they managed to evade the projectile & it did not explode upon impact. Two helicopters kept their lights trained on the massive monster, one of the jet pilots circling around was advising to all that it was about to engage its target!
The Disney patrons were glad to hear that the admiral was not going to take chances now, and was more focused on the safety of the people rather than try to contain the MUTO. But when they got to the part about something approaching from the water, and seeing Serizawa rushing onto the deck… this got many pumped up, as they believed it was who they thought it was. When they got to the part where the helicopters were unloading the soldiers onto the rooftops of the hotels, some of the Authors had a bit of a mixed reaction to this. Author superkoola looked to fellow Author King of 2211 and whispered, "I don't know about the tactics the military is using. I mean, they are positioned to give protection to the civilians down below but… I mean, come on! Machine guns like that aren't even going to annoy giant monsters like Godzilla and the MUTO! And why hasn't anyone gone down to tell the people to evacuate?". These were some good points and reasoning, some of the Authors stating that they would have at least ordered civilian units such as police to get the bystanders out of the fighting zone.
Captain Hook stated to his First Mate Mr. Smee, "Oh, those poor wretched fools! Even I, the most daring and bravest of the pirates in all the Disney realm, would not dare try to even annoy that giant insect monster!". The bumbling but faithful crew mate of the Jolly Roger agreed with his captain, though some seriously questioned the hook-handed man if he was even in the top ten list of feared pirates. Nevertheless, many within the crowd opted that it would be better to not engage something that just literally ate a nuclear missile for dinner! However, some heroes and heroines like Hercules, Merida, Elsa and more would actually welcome the challenge if it presented itself to them. Characters that were insects, from the distant past Disney cartoon shorts all the way up to Flik and the rest, were actually cheering to see such a massive insect take center stage, so to speak.
One of the ground soldiers declared that they were getting movement down here, most likely his own comrades trying to avoid being squashed. Either by the MUTO or by the debris that was falling from the remains of the sub. Suddenly, one of the forelegs of the MUTO started to glow a red-orange color, the camera panning up to show the beast shrieking loudly as it was powering up its special attack! One of the soldiers exclaimed for all to take cover… just as the massive leg slammed back down again to the ground! A powerful shockwave hit them all, sending them flying back from the impact! Their electrical equipment was fried down to the circuits, the camera going for an aerial view of the MUTO as an invisible shockwave of power pulsed throughout the forest! It had yet again utilize its EMP Blast technique! The jets in the air felt the shockwave, and just as soon as it touched the crafts, all of the power within it was shut down! Engines, electronics, the whole works were off! The pilot exclaimed, "Control, I have no power! I say again, I've lost all…!". Before he could repeat his message, the jet crashed into the jungle ground next to the MUTO! The resulting explosion caused a fiery blast that sadly most of the soldiers were near, causing them to be consumed by the orange flames! Only a lucky few survived as they were blown back by the blast. The explosion could be seen from the mountain region that was near the airport… and that is when things continued to go worse.
The EMP shockwave blast rippled throughout the island, shutting down all electronic components in its path. The lights in the city and the airport terminal turned off, causing a blackout all over the place. The camera shifted to the inside of the tram that Ford was in, the sudden stop causing everyone to stumble throughout the vehicle like pinballs in a pinball machine. The occupants let out yells as they held on tight to anything to steady themselves, Ford making sure that Akio was safe. The occupants were very startled at the sudden loss of power and motion, the military man asking the child if he was alright. He put in to give the tram just ten seconds & the lights would come back on. He took the lad's hand, to further assure the kid that everything was going to be okay. The scene shifted from the tram back to the beach area, where the beach guests were now looking at the large column of smoke that was coming from the forest. The little blonde-haired girl from earlier turned back, facing something other than the explosion that seemed to have everyone's attention. She let go of her mother's hand and slowly started to make her way towards the beach. The camera went behind her to show to all what she was seeing… and it was the beach that showed the tide pulling WAY back as fish started to flop around on the sandy ground! Plentiful fish of many size and shape were now flopping on the sand, while the water continued to pull back more towards the ocean.
Feeling that her folks needed to see this, she turned around and called for her father. He turned and called to her, apparently her name was Zoe. He scooped her up and looked towards the water that continued to be pulled into the open ocean, automatically knowing what was coming as an alarm started to blare out from the city! He kept a good tight hold on his precious daughter as he turned around and exclaimed, "Run! Run! Tsunami! Tsunami!". His wife soon joined him, the family making a break more towards inland. The patrons and rest of the group nearby started to yell as they too started to make a break for it, the camera panning upwards to show two helicopters coming in on the scene. Apparently, they had been far away enough from the shockwave to avoid being caught in its EMP effect. The pilot called out over the radio that its target was spotted offshore, two knots due east of the previous team's position & declared that it could be a second bogey. The scene changed from the mainland back to the Destroyer-class ship, where much activity was on the Flight Deck. It showed Serizawa, pulling a coat closer around him as he was looking all over for something… or someone. The music picked up when he seemed to spot something in the distance, ignoring the shouts of other crew members around him. He took out some binoculars to get a closer look on what was out in the distance, the camera now showing through the lens of the lookout device. It showed a helicopter hovering over the water with a searchlight pointed downward…
And down below it was a set of triple-rowed spines that were surging/cutting through the water at an incredible rate of speed!
A large cheer tore through the dinner theater club, one that could be heard a block or two away from the establishment! The Disney characters and Authors were shouting in excitement as they saw the part where the spines were shown, indicating to all that Godzilla was now finally arriving on the scene! Sofia exclaimed, "YEAH! Yes, he is finally here! Godzilla is finally here! Go Godzilla! You show that large bug whose boss!". She was not the only one cheering for the saurian, as those who had really come to appreciate the behemoth that took the monster movie world by storm for so many years were also shouting out encouragement to the King of the Monsters. Dreams and Danny could not believe how pumped the Disney characters were as just the mere appearance of the legendary kaiju got a vast majority of the patrons spirits & blood pumping. The Fenton lad put in that he hadn't seen this many people cheer out like that since the last Chip Skylark concert back in his home town.
Bumblelion, a fusion of a lion and bumblebee from Disney's 1985 TV series The Wuzzles looked to the couple and exclaimed, "You better believe it when a lot of us get like this when Godzilla or any of the major giant monsters from Toho come on the scene! We had gotten hooked onto the monsters shortly after DJ showed us the very first Godzilla movie last year, and it's still going strong now!". Dreams was very much impressed by this. Even though she was a new fan to the Monsters and Magic series, and also budding fan of the Toho movies now, she could see why most of the characters would now cheer loudly without abandon as they saw the coming of the monster that had taken the world by storm in 1954! To tell the truth… her and Danny's spirit and blood were rising along with the crowd as something mysterious yet potent started to come over them. It was the feelings that the guests were giving off as they were getting more pumped up!
The camera went back to Serizawa, whose mouth had dropped open a little in awe as he beheld the massive spines that were on course with them! The other crew members around were also staring at the spot where the behemoth under the waves was moving towards them! The camera showed the triple-row spines once more, this time in full briefly before going back to showcase the humans on the ship. The Japanese doctor's eyes widened as he saw the spines come closer, lowering his binoculars… and the camera going behind him to show that the towering dorsal spines were now extremely close to the ship! The objects soon dived underwater, where the camera got an aerial view of the creature as it swam underneath the battleship… and outline of the monster was truly massive! It was easily bigger then the Destroyer-class vessel itself! The humans on the Flight Deck rushed to the other side to see the behemoth more as it simply passed by them. One would think that it consciously went under them, that it purposely avoided the craft so not to harm the people on board! A strange-sounding alarm went off on the craft, the camera going back down to normal levels as it showed all of the passengers on the military vehicle look out to see the creature surging towards the island… three other ships that were stationed around the USS Saratoga were lifted up by the massive surge that came up when the creature's dorsal spine, the middle ship rising upward more into the air as the surge was indeed massive!
The scene switched back to the beach, where it showed a medium-sized dog that was leashed and tied to a palm tree. The animal was whining and barking on the sand… the camera turning around to show to all that it was barking at the sea that was now coming inland! After some barks, it turned away and ran. The leash was poorly tied to the tree, so thankfully it was able to run away as the destructive water started to surge more towards land! Deck chairs and stands were easily obliterated, swept away by the surging sea! The camera changed to show the dog running away fast, the buildings and palm trees behind him being overtaken by the water that was coming in hot! The animal soon arrived in the crowd of humans, who were all screaming as they tried to outrun the tsunami wave that was coming. People climbed over cars and rushed towards buildings to try and get away from the force of nature, the camera showing Zoe being held by her father. Both he and his wife were still running strong, but the large wave was still coming in! The camera showed the inside of a car, where its occupant saw people scrambling over his/her car… but was soon swallowed by the water when it came in! The camera switched back to Zoe and the parents, the father making the good decision to go into one of the hotels. The couple with their child rush in, thankful that the doors opened outward and not inward. They continued to run… and just in time as the water overcame the crowd and pushed up against the glass walls and doors forcefully! Luckily, the doors and walls held strong though water started to leak in due to the pressure.
The camera switched to give an aerial view of the disaster that had now struck Honolulu, those that managed to escape from the tsunami flood now on the rooftops of the various hotels that surrounded the area. Many looked down to see the people on the streets getting swept away, cars and other man-made objects also obliterated by the wave. Telephone poles crashed into the water, power going out in various places. The onlookers were in shock and awe at seeing the incredible power of nature before them, many buildings lights and power going out as the water continued to rush forward. The music had picked up dramatically ever since the start of the flooding, and was reaching a crescendo… until on one of the rooftop buildings that had the soldiers stationed there from before, flares were shot out into the air. Said red flaring lights shot past the tallest of the hotel buildings easily, lighting the sky for a moment…
Until it showed the lights barely reached the midsection of something MASSIVE that was the very cause of the tidal wave, something that let out a low growl that shook the air and earth completely as water cascaded down around it!
Wildwing from Disney's The Mighty Ducks had his eyes almost pop out of his skull when he saw the underwater form of Godzilla as he spoke, "Great Mother of Ducks… Godzilla is huge! More so than anything I've seen!". He wasn't the only that was surprised, as the Disney guests were indeed stunned to see the saurian's form even though it was concealed underwater. When they all saw the massive kaiju actually go under the boat instead of through it, this got the patrons to wonder if he did that on purpose. That he didn't want to cut through the boat that contained human life on it. It would be discussed later, though they were very much impressed by the swell of Godzilla's upcoming surge when it lifted four battleships up like they were mere toys. At the part of seeing the dog tied up when the small tsunami was coming in, the animated stars & starlets were worried about the poor animal until they saw it flee which gave them some relief. It would be cruel to see a dog get swept away by the water due to being tied to a true… although some like Fat Cat would have been pleased to see the natural enemy of cats bite the dust.
A majority of the dinner theater club guests were worried about the people as the tidal wave surged through the city, decimating all in its path. Grammi Gummi let out a sigh of relief when she saw Zoe and her parents go into the hotel that had its doors swung outwards instead of in. She commented that it was smart on their part, that the water not get into the building that easily though the pressure did crack the windows and allowed some water in. But better that than letting it gush into the place. This also reminded those that disrespected nature that the natural forces of the planet were stronger than any kind of man-made stuff. When they came to the part that featured a certain saurian rising up as the flares didn't even reach its chest area, the whole audience was in silent wonder at seeing the immense bulk of the legendary King of the Monsters. Aurora whispered, "By the Lord Himself, Godzilla is truly a force of nature just by sheer size alone…". No one could dispute that observation, at least for the moment.
The camera showed the humans on the rooftops their look of awe and stunned state, two girl bathed in the red light just looking up in amazement on what had just emerged from the water. The camera shifted to show the thick arms and torso of the monster that had just walked into the city, the flares still illuminating the area. As the titanic leg of Godzilla slowly lifted up to pass by… the military men that were armed with their machine guns fired at him! The people near them all screamed and either ducked down or moved out of the way as the soldiers fired on the behemoth! However, the bullets merely bounced off its skin, like it was mere spit wads that struck it. The camera showed the soldiers firing at the creature, but they ceased when the giant monster turned a corner and left the area, a large building hiding its body as only the tail could be seen as it swept past the decimated buildings near it. The scene changed from the city back to the jungle interior, where a sergeant called off if anyone was hurt. One responded if anyone had seen their quarry, another asking on where was it. It would seem that MUTO had evaded the remaining soldiers… until a loud snarling sound filled the air that got their attention. This caused the men to turn around and look in the direction of the noise, the sergeant removing his mask and walking towards it. The camera went behind him to show to all what he was seeing now; a trail of devastation… towards the city as the lights started to come back on all around!
The camera switched back to the International Airport, where the lights started to come back on along with the rest of the power. The tram was online once more, the occupants inside showing relief that they were in light once more & on the move. Ford looked to see that Akio was alright, but soon the kid's attention was diverted to something else. As the automatic message on the PA sounded off, the camera showed the tram rail lights come on one by one, and when it went past a curve and towards the terminal… it revealed the MUTO who had stalked in under the cover of darkness! The occupants of the tram immediately started to panic as they beheld the monster who roared loudly, rearing up on its legs as it walked tall. The creature was indeed tall and menacing, showing its full body height, width and more now to all. The problem was further compounded when the tram's automatic systems kicked in… the vehicle now moving in the direction of the insect beast! The people inside the tram were freaking out a bit, and who could blame them? They were going right towards something that could easily decimate a concrete building with ease! Ford than heard gunfire, yelling for everyone to get down. The occupants all yelled as they ducked their heads down, helicopters coming in as they blasted the MUTO with machine gun fire!
The camera switched from the interior of the tram to the outside of the airport, where the two helicopters swooped in to distract the MUTO. The immense monster snarled as it was bombarded by the bullets, but the projectiles merely bounced off its skin. It did leave some small blotches of fiery red spots on the places they hit, but it quickly faded fast. Ford looked up to see the monster bending down, the camera showing the head of the beast through the tram door window as it roared loudly. Akio cried loudly, Ford picking him up and moving to the very back of the vehicle. The people inside started to do the same thing… but it was too late as the leg of the MUTO easily ripped through the tram, slicing it in two! The screams of the humans could be heard as the tram stopped moving due to the power being cut like it did, the vehicle now dipped and leaning over the demolished railing! Ford managed to get a hold of one of the bolted seats, stopping his descent to the ground. However, a few of the passengers did not make it as they dropped to their deaths below, the camera capturing a young male and two females going down. Ford looked up, the camera now showing Akio holding onto an elder man's leg. Just as the automatic PA message came on again, he lost his grip. The elderly man tried to grab him, but it was too late as the Japanese lad started to slid downwards… but fortunately Ford was able to reach out and grab the frightened child!
The scene changed from the demolished tram to the runaway of the airport, where many airport field workers that were still around started to evacuate from the premises. While some opted to run away, others thought it best to hide from the massive insect that was stomping around the grounds. The camera showed the face of one frightened man as he was underneath one of the large commercial planes… not noticing the surge of water that had just rushed up to soak his feet. The camera angle changed to show the view point of the human, displaying for all to see the mighty MUTO as it shrieked and snarled. It stomped about, apparently wanting to find more sustenance. It roared once more, before the camera shifted to show the pilots from before. Said soldier was talking back to home base on the sight of his target, the distance and about to engage again. The gunner at the helicopter started to rain down firepower on the MUTO again… until a row of dorsal spines just rose up in his line of sight, causing him to cease fire momentarily! The pilots saw the thing that had just came into their view, forcing the driver to suddenly veer off to avoid hitting the object. The aircraft got its target back in sight, but it was too off course now to try and change direction. The helicopter crashed and bounced off the MUTO's wing limb, going down to the ground in a spectacular fireball that struck the back engine of a plane! The effect was instantaneous as the plane soon exploded, causing a domino effect that caused nearby crafts that were caught in the blast to explode as well!
The camera switched to show a large group of people that were inside one of the large main terminals, the humans screaming in terror as they saw the MUTO thanks to the light provided by the exploding planes. The camera panned slowly to the right, the humans continuing to scream and trying to move away from the scene… until a tremendous foot appeared and stomped on the ground, silencing the humans as they beheld the other beast that had arrived. Like a crowd does when a powerful leader… or king came into view. The MUTO turned around as it sensed something nearby, something familiar due to primeval instincts. The beast turned around, then spread its wings out wide in a threat display as it snarled loudly! The camera shifted to show a pair of legs that were immense, each footstep causing a tremor that echoed for all to hear. The music picked up as the camera panned upwards to show to all the rest of the body; a muscular torso with arms that had four-finger claws on them… and a head that was like a saurian from the ancient world of the dinosaurs, yet unique all its own! The beast than took a deep breath… and let out a LOUD unique roar that shook the earth and heavens!
Godzilla had announced its arrival to the world, looking down at his prey like a warrior-king would to his enemy!
Sanka Coffie, a Jamaican bobsledder from the Disney 1993 live-action movie Cool Runnings had jumped up and exclaimed for all to hear, "YEAH, MON! THE KING OF THE MONSTERS IS THE HOUSE!". The young participant in the Winter Olympics was not alone, as the whole place had gone crazy when they saw the full emergence of the King of the Monsters. In fact, outside many onlookers saw the establishment actually leap a couple of feet off the ground before coming back down with a resounding BOOM sound! Those that loved the legendary Toho monster were showing the support for him by cheering, whistling and just going a bit crazy! Crazy in a good way, where there was some self-control shown, not crazy in a bad way where all restraint was gone.
Before all of this occurred, many of the Disney characters were all getting pumped up as they saw part of Godzilla rise up in a way that truly showed his size and influence. However, a majority of the guests did not approve of the soldier's actions when they fired on the behemoth. Sgt. Tamora Jean Calhoun-Felix shook her head and muttered, "Those idiots… firing at a creature with thing that are at best just pea-shooters to it, and with civilians near the line of fire! I swear, I would love to take them to my game world and drill into them the real procedure in dealing with giant problems like that.". The wife of Fix-It Felix Jr. was serious when it came to military protocol and action, and seeing the American soldiers open fire with civilians in the way at a gigantic creature that shrugged off the projectiles like they were nothing incensed her. She was not alone, as those who had served in the military such as Shang and Colonel the sheepdog from Disney's 101 Dalmatians.
Uncle Remus from Disney's hybrid live-action/animated 1946 film Song of the South commented, "Oh dear Lord, those poor people! I really wonder why that tram continued to move even though there was that scary monster there on the tracks. Surely the conductor had the sense to stop it.". Sadly that with today's technology, most vehicles were automatic and were operated by remote control from a Control Room. And also, most likely the ones manning the controls at said room most likely had evacuated when they saw the behemoth MUTO coming in on the scene. There was those that hoped the people that had fallen were alive at least, but considering that the tram was many feet off the ground… it was highly unlikely. Combined with a massive insect monster very near the area, the chances fell down even more.
And when the time came that Godzilla's leg was revealed, the excitement that had been boiling was almost ready to be released! Queen Elsa whispered, "Yes… all are silent when the king arrives. Especially if it's the King of the Monsters!". This was especially true, after the humans in the terminal went in shock awe & silence when they saw the massive foot and the deep BOOM sound that accompanied it when it touched the ground.
Now back to the present, mostly everyone in the House of Mouse were celebrating the arrival of the most famous/infamous kaiju of all time! Mrs. Peg Pete whooped loudly and exclaimed, "All right! It's about time the real star of the movie came out!". Indeed, most were glad to finally see the legendary beast. Some were a bit puzzled on why it took so long for Godzilla to be officially revealed, though they chalked it up to wanting the human-part of the movie to be showcased first. After a few moments, the dinner theater club patrons slowly got back under control & got back to watching the film.
The scene transisted from Hawaii back to San Francisco, where it showed Sam sleeping on the couch even as Godzilla's roar echoed a bit. He had a blanket on him, sleeping on some large throw pillows while in front of him were all kinds of plastic dinosaur toys. Apparently the child was a fan of the animals that had lived on Earth for millions of years before going extinct. Sounds of people faintly came on, indicating that the child was asleep in front of the TV that was still active. Sam opened his eye a crack to see what was going on, the camera soon switching to Elle who came into the kitchen. She told Sam to turn off the TV as she went to do the dishes in the sink… and the camera also showed that the TV was broadcasting footage of Godzilla's fight against the MUTO! News station HYPN was showing the brief yet fierce struggle between the titans. Sam slowly got up from the couch, sitting up as his focus was now on the screen before him. Elle asked if he heard him, telling him again to turn the television off. The camera switched from the child back to the news footage, where it showed the MUTO flying off and Godzilla following as he went back into the ocean, chasing after his quarry. Elle exited the kitchen, trying to coax her son to leave the couch and go to bed. The camera soon focused on her, Sam stating, "Mommy, look. Dinosaurs!". Elle saw the footage, and her face showed a mixture of both awe and worry as she remembered that Ford was in Honolulu, getting her husband's voice message earlier.
The scene changed from the Brody household back to Honolulu, where day had come… and the devastation was clear to all now. Tall buildings were decimated, torn down & asunder by the titans. They were now like skeletons in the sky, a shade of what they once were as smoke wafted up from the remains. Seagulls flew around the area, squawking loudly as the camera panned down more to the ground level. Huge mounds of debris and rubble were apparent near the demolished hotel buildings, and soon the camera showing the surviving humans walking among the wreckage. Paramedics and other medical staff were on the scene, chattering of people rising high into the air as they all seemed to be in a daze. Many sported bandages around various parts of their body, makeshift tents in the area to indicate that officials were on the scene and doing the best they could to aid the civilians. Ford was among them, holding little Akio in his arms as they walked amongst the crowd. They passed by tents that showed workers giving away fresh bottled water and giving various aid to people that went to them. A man's voice came over the PA system, telling to all that more incoming patients were arriving. It truly looked like something from a refugee camp within a war zone.
The Brody lad managed to get through to one of the tents, going to two medical officials as he put the Japanese kid down. He told them that the boy was separated from his parents, but the female doctor told him to fill out a form and they would be with him momentarily. It would appear that even during a crisis, paperwork was a must. As Ford took the papers, he asked if either of the two had service on their cell phones. However, a stranger answered him as he signed a form himself, stating that even pay phones worked at all in their area. Meanwhile, Akio had wandered off on his own away from the lieutenant. The young man turned around to check on the kid, only to realize that his small ward was missing. He tossed the clipboard that held the form back on the desk, the camera showing that his eyes were looking for the Japanese child. He walked away from the Registration desk, passing by people as he looked around for the child. He soon heard the cries of a woman and man, calling out the kid's name. He turned, the camera turning get his point of view, and all saw the reunion of mother/father with their child. It was a touching gathering, both parents gathering up Akio in their arms and held him up high. They had smiled on their faces, very happy to see one another as the woman started to cry in happiness at seeing her blessing alive. The camera switched to show the Brody man, a small smile on his face as he saw the family becoming whole once more. The camera switched once more, the mother fussing a bit over Akio while he was being held by his father. He looked over to Ford, smiling at him before being led away.
DJ chuckled to himself and said, "Sam likes dinosaurs like I did when I was a kid. Heh, I guess that for most kids, strange looking animals will always grab their attention.". The Author remembered on how much he liked things that resembled the great & unusual animals that had ruled the Earth long before man did, getting figurines of various size that were either dinosaurs or Toho monsters. The Disney and Author patrons were cheering a bit when they saw the brief footage of Godzilla tangling up with the MUTO, those like Tito from Disney's Oliver and Company calling the insect a big chicken for retreating from the saurian. However, when the time came to show the devastated Honolulu area, a majority of the guests were a bit subdued at seeing the aftermath of the battle between the titans. However, those that loved to see human misery such as Hades and the massive winged-devil Chernabog were smiling wickedly at seeing the crowd of humans in downed spirits.
The mood was uplifted when all saw the reunion of Akio with his parents, many glad & relived to see a happy ending even with so much devastation surrounding them. Kermit the Frog looked to his date Miss Piggy and said, "I'm glad that the family is back together like that. Just shows that hope and a happy ending are possible, even if its small compared to everything else around them.". The original diva of the Muppets agreed with her beau on that, seeing that Kermit's positive attitude and outlook were still intact even after all these years. Those with families were also glad to see the reunion, the parents thinking to themselves that they too would be ecstatic to see any of their children alive after experiencing a nightmarish night like what showed in the movie.
Just as the family left, an Army vehicle pulled in with an officer yelling for orders to load up. The camera turned to show Ford, and behind him were many soldiers marching in formation. The Brody man turned to see them marching along, recognizing one of them as a sergeant & calling out to him. He gave his rank name and place of enlistment, as it was proper military protocol when addressing someone in the military. The sergeant stopped to listen to the young man, who stated that he needed his help to get back to the mainland. The sergeant replied, "Well, it's your lucky day, sir. Everything not tied down is moving east.". This surprised Ford, as he inquired if that is the direction the giant monsters were heading. The sergeant replied in a positive, saying that the soldiers were now monster hunters before going back to marching with his comrades. The camera focused on Mr. Brody's face, showing to all that he had haunted look on it. The titans from last night were heading eastward, towards California… towards his home and family. The music picked up dramatically as the scene changed to show doctors & nurses tending to patients in make-shift, open-air tents as they were doing their best they could with what they had to work with at the moment. The camera panned a bit towards the right, soon showing three choppers and an Army cargo plane in the sky as they headed east.
The scene changed once again, this time the camera showing an aerial view of a helicopter flying over two battleships… that were flanking Godzilla! The huge dorsal spines of the legendary monster were shown above the water, cutting through the liquid similar to a shark's fin. The most amazing part was that the saurian ignored the metal ships that were close to his being, even the two ships that were flanking on his front side! A woman's voice came on, stating that a satellite's transfer was completed. The scene shifted to the inside of the USS Saratoga, back to the Command Center. A computer map and outline came on the monitors, showing the projections of colored lines and such. The woman continued, stating that simulations were uploaded and the satellite was still tracking its targets. She stated that last satellite tracks predicted the MUTO flying eastward still, their electronic models having both giant monsters converging on the Pacific Coast area. The camera changed to show Admiral Stenz by the woman who was giving out the intel, the man's eyes fixed on the data shown before him on the screens. The communications officer stated that Godzilla was still locked onto the MUTO's movements, following it.
Dr. Serizawa came in, proclaiming that the saurian was hunting, the admiral looking to him for a moment before giving out the order for all vessels in the area to maintain their current distance from Godzilla and the MUTO. In addition, to plot the speed and heading of the kaiju so he could gain an exact figure on when & where the behemoths would make landfall. A soldier replied in an affirmative, sending the orders out with Stenz went to the Japanese doctor and inquired on what he meant that Godzilla was hunting. He asked if he thought that Godzilla was chasing the large insect, that it was deliberately going after the monster on instinct. Dr. Serizawa did not answer, pacing the floor instead with his head down and looking pensive. His thoughts were racing hard and fast here, Dr. Graham coming over and stating that if the MUTO was Godzilla's prey, that the signal from earlier showed a call. So she inquired why the MUTO would call out to its natural predator, but Serizawa started that the insect did not call out to Godzilla. The camera showed his face while he replied, "No, it didn't. I think Godzilla was only listening. The MUTO was calling something else…". His eyes widened as a thought came into his head, looking towards the admiral who was still patiently waiting for an answer. The Japanese doctor muttered about a pattern, realization hitting him before he passed by both to go to the planning table. He called out for the Army to focus the search on Nevada in the United States.
Capt. Hampton was confused, asking why the MUTO would go to Nevada. Vivienne, however, realized on what her sensei was suggesting. She said to him that it was impossible, Stenz going over to the group at the table and inquiring on what was impossible. She replied, "There was another spore, intact, found in the Philippine mine. But we vivisected it, ran every test on it for years! You confirmed it yourself! It was… it was dormant!". Dr. Serizawa did not look to her, focusing on the table in front of him but he did answer that the spore may not be dormant anymore. Russell inquired on where the spore was now, Dr. Graham answering that the spore was highly radioactive & it was disposed of by the American army who took the spore. Stenz looked to Serizawa and asked on where it was… the Japanese doctor looking up at him and answering on where all nuclear waste was contained in… which was in Nevada.
Many of the Disney stars & starlets who were monsters were NOT pleased by the sergeant's statement that he and the soldiers were now monster hunters, Michael 'Mike' Wazowski being more vocal as he declared, "Monster hunters?! Feh! I'd like to see that guy take my buddy Sulley on! He'd turn that guy into a pretzel!". Leave it to Mike to bring his friends in to take his place when it came to fighting and such. Said large blue monster just patted his green friend on the head and told him to calm down. Thought truth be told, he wondered if even stood a chance against the soldier. While he was a hulking being that had strength and an impressive amount of agility, the soldiers in the movie before him were trained and had weapons. The last time he scared adults was when he had to with the help of Mike back in their younger days, and even then said adults did not have combat training like a soldier did. Still, there were some of his fellow Monster Inc. companions that wanted to take a shot at the soldiers now.
Danny Fenton whispered to Dreams, "Whoa… would you look at that! Godzilla must be more than a simple monster if he is ignoring those battleships stationed around him. Usually, a wild animal would strike out at anything they don't sense as natural. But Godzilla here… he really is more than meets the eye.". Dreams nodded, saying that she believed that the King of the Monsters was much more than just a gigantic animal. After reading DJ's Monsters and Magic series, and watching some Showa-era Godzilla films, she believed as well that there was much more to the saurian than meets the eye. Especially after witnessing his previous actions. She would be surprised that a majority of the Disney guests around her were also thinking the same thing, that Godzilla shown in the film they were watching was much more than previously thought.
Nakoma looked to Grandmother Willow, who was now in human form, and asked if Godzilla considered the MUTO to be his natural enemy. The wise and patient spirit of the Native American tribe answered, "Yes, dear child. Though from an age long past, his primal instincts are still sharp as ever. Just like nature has a balance to keep certain beings in check and the world in order, Godzilla is the balance keeper here. And he must sense that the MUTO are a greater threat than one realizes.". When they all got to the part where Serizawa realized on what was going on, many were wondering on how the spore had just become active after so many years. However, certain professors who excelled in the study of certain animals stated that said creatures could be laid dormant for years until the time was right for them to hatch and emerge. In addition, some Disney beings were wondering on how to properly dispose of nuclear waste. It had been a question for some time; to properly dispose of the nuclear material or on how to utilize it for the benefit of mankind.
The scene changed from the Destroyer-class ship to the Nevada desert, the music picking up dramatically and at a fast pace as the camera showed the natural, rugged beauty of the landscape. In the distance were four vehicles, speeding along a dirt road. The scene changed to show a male solder getting a gas mask on, soon, the camera showing more of his fellow soldiers also preparing themselves as they dressed up in Army-colored Haz-mat suits with gas masks that were a bit more sophisticated than the standard issue ones. They also loaded up on automatic weapons, filling their machine guns to the brim with bullets. The camera shifted to show an Army armored truck trailing them, with a helicopter that was VERY close to the ground backing them up. The camera switched to an aerial view, showing the convoy on the road which consisted of five vehicles and two helicopters as they made their way towards an underground bunker of sort that was built within the rock of a chain of mountains. The camera changed to show guards opening the gates towards the bunker, a light yellow sign shown on the metal fence YUCCA MOUNTAIN NUCLEAR WASTE REPOSITORY- U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY with the radiation insignia on the lower right with an unknown insignia on the lower left.
The scene changed to show the inside of the repository, which was like a gigantic chain of vaults side by side. The soldiers exited the vehicles, a commander giving out the orders for his men to go and check every vault in the facility with flashlights on since the area was very dark. One opened a small sliding window door to a vault door, peering inside and the camera showing to all that it was filled with pointed missiles that were once nuclear ones. The soldier yelled out clear, seeing that nothing was wrong with said vault. Another soldier peered into a neighboring one, finding huge drum barrels and containers that held the highly poisonous waste with radioactive caution insignias on every one of them. He yelled the clear word, the soldiers going to each vault and yelling out CLEAR to all. However… one went to a vault, and when he opened the sliding window door… he got sunlight. He yelled out to his comrades, who all turned in sync as one towards him with weapons drawn. Two soldiers went and slowly opened the vault door, the other soldiers at the ready with weapons drawn. Light poured forth from the sealed room, and when the door was open… they did not find an empty room, but rather a WHOLE side of the mountain gone!
One of the soldiers rushed in, but stopped when he saw the light & the outside world. A chopper was hovering in place above the massive hole, mangled metal everywhere as it looked that something tore its way through solid rock and steel. The camera switched to give an aerial view of the facility, showing to all that mountain indeed had a large gash in it. The nuclear material inside the mountain was now gone. One of the soldiers removed their mask, just amazed on what he was witnessing as his comrades did the same with their masks. The man lifted up a pair of binoculars and looked through them, trying to find whatever it was that just tore through the repository. The camera switched to go through the item's point of view, which showed the city of Las Vegas in the distance… and panning to the right, something MASSIVE was stomping its way towards Sin City! Though the beast was shrouded by dust, there was no mistaking that it was similar to the MUTO!
Sebastian the crab looked to nearby Author DARKNESS RISSING and asked, "Say mon, think you can help me out with something? Why bury something so toxic and poisonous in a mountain? Hmmm?". The musical genius of Atlantica was curious on why the humans of the United States opted to keep their nuclear waste inside a mountain, believing that doing such a thing would harm nature. The potent Author explained that the U.S. government wanted to have a safe place to dispose of the spent nuclear material that came out of nuclear power plants or other radioactive experiments. The mountain regions natural formation was thick enough to block out the radioactive material, and combined with the man-made steel structures that were built inside of the rock, it made it possible to store the material away safely. However, he admitted that even now there was always a problem or two that sprung up in that particular area. Sebastian was satisfied with this, but he also hoped that one day soon, a method would be found to remove the waste in a manner that served both nature and man.
When they got to the part where the side of the mountain was gone, it was villainous General Grievous from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith that spoke, "Incredible! Such a thing that tore a hole out of solid rock and metal would be a boon to the Separatists army!". Many were thinking along the same lines, as it must have been something immense in both physical size and strength that tore right through a facility of the highest-quality of metal and through solid stone like it was nothing. When they saw Las Vegas, and the behemoth going towards said city, some were thinking that the place that was made famous for gambling… and other questionable stuff were going to get a rude awakening the likes they never believed could be possible.
The scene changed to show the inside of one of the many casinos that littered Las Vegas, people going to and fro to either play the games or enjoy food & drink. While the patrons went about to either make or break at the various games, a monitor showed some breaking news… and it showed the large MUTO-like creature stomping through the city as the headlines KYPN: LIVE- TERROR IN VEGAS showed up! Surprisingly enough, the people did not pay any attention whatsoever to the news broadcast. They just continued to play on like normal! Suddenly, the lights went off all over the place as the patrons clamored in annoyance and aggravation that their fun had been interrupted. It lasted for a few minutes… until the tune changed from annoyance to terror as the people saw something crash right through the roof and building! It was the other MUTO, who growled loudly as it passed the annoying insects! The scene changed from the casino to a lavish hotel room, where an Elvis Presley song was playing over the speaker loudly, the large double-doors being knocked on. A man's voice on the other side called out if anyone was in there, and when no response came… the doors were busted open as men in firefighter uniforms came in! The camera focused on the three men who were in full gear, one of them walking more into the interior of the room… and the camera switching behind one of them to show that a MASSIVE hole was where the rest of the suite should be at. Helicopters flew by them as they beheld the devastation and destruction of some of the buildings nearby, all heading towards the MUTO.
The camera gave an aerial view of the city as they followed the helicopters, showing to all the large path of destruction that the giant insect monster left in its wake. Parts of large buildings were torn down like they were mere tissue paper, smaller buildings demolished that were in the path of the behemoth. Smoke rose in various places where the buildings were decimated, and panning upwards, the camera showed the immense MUTO in the distance as it was bombarded by firepower from the air crafts up ahead. The scene switched from the mainland to the sea, where the camera showed Godzilla's dorsal spines as he was still escorted/monitored by their Navy ships. A male voice came on, telling Capt. Hampton that their UVA camera had footage of the new MUTO. However, it was Admiral Stenz that ordered the sailor/soldier to show it all. The camera switched from the aerial view of the sea to the Command Center, where everyone including Serizawa and Vivienne turned to see the broadcast. The monitors showed what was happening in Las Vegas, the newly discovered monster wreaking havoc among the buildings. The soldier reported that the footage was taken just five minutes ago, the camera closing in to show to all the monitors that displayed the MUTO knocking down the replica of the French landmark the Eiffel Tower. Stenz looked to Capt. Hampton, both neutral in facial features but everyone could see that they were worried. The camera switched to Serizawa and his student, the soldier now showing all on what has happened earlier.
Dr. Graham spoke that the new creature looked to be almost 300 feet in height, that it was far bigger than the first MUTO. Stenz looked to them, stating that the new beast did not have any wings like the first one. Vivienne suggested that it was due that it was a different sex… Serizawa stating that indeed the larger MUTO was a female! The camera showed the humans briefly before focusing on a monitor that was above the ones that displayed the rampage, the two screens showing the data graph that displayed the call from both animals. The one in yellow was MUTO 2, as displayed over the graph. The one next to it displayed red, which was labeled MUTO 1. Graham said that is what the male MUTO had been talking to, the female one that was now going crazy in Sin City. Serizawa spoke, "It must be a mating call. The female remained dormant until the male matured!". Vivienne put in that they were now seeking radiation… to reproduce!
The Disney and Author guests were shaking their heads when they saw the people in the casino paying more attention to their fortunes and luck rather than their lives when they ignored the news broadcast. Little John, the big brown bear from Disney's Robin Hood said, "Man… them folks are touched in the head if they're more worried about their money instead of their lives.". It was a sad fact though, even for some certain characters in the dinner theater club, that some put value and stock into trivial things other than one's life.
Iago the parrot exclaimed, "Hey! What gives?! Why is the girl MUTO larger than the guy MUTO?! I thought that in nature, it's us guys who are the biggest and baddest around?!". Of course, after hearing that a lot of the females in the area turned to glare at the sarcastic sidekick of Jafar. The men wisely did not say anything & made sure to scoot away from the parrot as he was now under some scrutiny from the females, animated and Author alike. Even his own lady love Thundra the thunderbird from Aladdin the Series was boring holes into his being with her eyes. It was Jane Porter that told the parrot that while in some societies the male was the biggest and in charge, some communities in the animal kingdom were ran by females. Shenzi the hyena attested to that, saying that in her circles it was the girl hyenas like her that brought home the bacon… of course, this made certain pig characters like Pumba let out a small protest at that remark.
And it was Queen Rapunzel that put in that in the insect kingdom, it was most often the females that were the largest and strongest of the species due to many a thing… one of them was that it was up to them to make sure the species continued on, getting a lot of blushes from all over the place including herself. It was Thundra that finished it, "So mi amore... do be careful and think first before opening your beak. Or else you will see firsthand why the phrase the female of the species is more deadlier then the male. Understood?". Iago nodded his head rapidly, showing he understood it all and would think first before speaking. This seemed to quell the emotions of the ladies everywhere, Iago letting out a sigh as he believed to have dodged that tricky bullet. Many of the males around the audience who had wisely kept out of the argument were also thankful that they did not get caught up in it… otherwise, there would be consequences that they rather not endure.
The scene switched from the Control Room to a War Room, a small private area that was designed to plot out secret strategies and such. A government man unrolled a large map on the table and stated, "Current tracking models indicate that all three targets are converging here: San Francisco Bay. But if we rig a nuclear warhead with a shielded timer, put it on a boat and send it twenty miles out, the radiation lures the MUTO's… and the MUTO's lure Godzilla.". The admiral, captain and doctors were in the room as the government man put his plan on the table for all to hear. He had suggested to use a nuclear weapon on American soil to lure the massive insects, and in turn the behemoths would lure in their natural predator Godzilla… with Russell finishing that they would detonate the warhead with minimal fallout risk to the city! Dr. Graham put in that they could not be serious about the idea, telling the soldiers that Godzilla and the MUTO's fed on radiation. The captain cut in before she could continue, stating that she was correct and that is why they would use the bomb as bait. The young government man finished it by saying to kill them with the sheer force of the nuclear weapon's blast, Vivienne muttering that this was all crazy. Admiral Stenz looked to her and spoke that if she had any other ideas, that he was all ears to listen. It was Serizawa that spoke, the camera soon turning to the Japanese doctor as he was sitting on a chair away from the others. Stenz asked on what it was he wanted to say.
Dr. Serizawa put in that Gojira may be the solution to their problem, stating that he believed the behemoth rose from the depths now to restore balance. That Godzilla was the natural equalizer that could defeat the MUTOs, as nature… perhaps even a higher order had ordained it. The admiral did not buy that, as he asked on what they could do. To just stand by and watch the city be taken apart during the monster's battle? He apologized, but he could not take that kind of risk. Sighing, he looked to his soldiers that were in the room and stated that they needed to prepare the warheads and get the weapons ready to move them to the San Francisco coast area. The military and government people agreed, gathering their papers & folders before leaving the room. Stenz looked to Dr. Graham, the camera showing that she as just bewildered at what occurred and left the room without another word. Once she left, the admiral turned to Serizawa and said that he knew he didn't agree with the plan but that his first priority was to safeguard the citizens of the country he had taken a serious oath to protect. The camera showed Serizawa's serious face, then turned to face Stenz again as the Japanese man handed to the American his small pocket watch. The elderly man took a couple steps forward and took the watch, examining it and seeing that it had stopped.
Serizawa put in that it had stopped… at eight-fifteen in the morning… August 6th 1945. Admiral Stenz looked to the Japanese man and spoke the city of Hiroshima, knowing that was the date and time when the first atomic bomb was dropped on that particular Japanese city during the days that World War II was coming to an end. It was the first of two atomic bombs that were dropped in Japan… the first at Hiroshima, the second at Nagasaki. Serizawa took the pocket watch back, saying that it was his father's, looking at it more before leaving the room. The camera showed the face of Stenz, who knew that in allowing this kind of plan to go through… he would be dooming the city of San Francisco to suffer the same fate as Serizawa's people had back in that time period. Only two atomic bombs in all of history had been used on populated areas, and it would live in history forever more. Now it seemed that he would be the admiral that would allow a warhead of such power to be detonated on American soil… making the city to be the third populated area to experience the power of a nuclear bomb.
Upon hearing the plan to use a warhead to lure the MUTO's, and using the insects to lure in Godzilla, and making it explode to take them out… well, those that had a fondness for the saurian were NOT happy at all. Elsa was frowning as the young government man spoke his proposed plan out to the group, a light frost coming up all around her body and making the atmosphere around her being very chilly. Lady Beneditka, an OC character & the matriarch Mountain troll from the Monsters and Magic series, gripped her axe tightly as a light brown-colored magical aura danced around the edges of her deadly weapon. And even the normally gentle Cinderella was frowning, her fists clenched tightly. It was Princess Anastasia that exclaimed, "Are they crazy or just plain insane!? Using a nuclear bomb as bait to lure the MUTO's in, and they lure in Godzilla to blast them both?! And near a populated city no less!". A majority of both Authors and Disney guests were also not pleased with the idea, though some villains/villainesses that despised the saurian actually approved of the plan.
When they came to the part where Serizawa displayed his time piece and the significance to why he held onto it, it was a bit of a somber moment for the club. Mickey and others in the immense dinner theater club establishment had been taught the dangers that atomic & nuclear power had, and also were taught on what happened should a nuclear weapon be used on a city. Like those in the real world, they were shown in History classes on what happened on that day during the ending days of WWII… and how the battle ended with Japan's defeat, along with what the nation & people had to endure after the bombs were dropped. Princess Eilonwy spoke softly, "Now I can see why Serizawa is against such an action. And I believe that his plan is better, because at least the city is the only thing that would suffer rather than the people. The people would at least be spared from the radiation fallout.". She realized that the Japanese doctor was looking more into the long-run of things, not just the short-run like most beings looked at.
The scene changed from the ship to the air, where two large Army cargo planes were turning in the air, their engines making loud noises as they swerved deep to the right. The camera than switched to the inside of the craft, where a pilot officer called out to the others that a new destination, along with new orders were now in effect & to gear up. As the many soldiers inside the aircraft started to gear up, Ford made his appearance known as he addressed the officer who spoke, who was a Tech Sergeant. He inquired on what was going on, the sergeant answered that another MUTO had appeared in Nevada. So that was the reason for the change of orders, and the new destination. Ford was stunned, as were some of the other soldiers on the plane as they started to get dressed in their uniforms. The camera focused on the young Brody man's face for a bit before switching back to the outside, where the plane was landing in what appeared to be a small town of sort. The camera panned down to show smoke rising up from various parts, and a swath of devastation that indicated that the MUTO had been there. Soldiers were positioned on rooftops, and many other plans were coming in for a landing. The camera soon went to ground level, where many Army vehicles were on the road and white letters appeared for all to see that the location was LONE PINE, CALIFORNIA. The place was now a military occupation, no civilian in sight as they had been evacuated from the area some time ago.
A large Army truck stopped in front of a tall building, the officer pulling down the gate and telling the occupants inside to come on out since they could not fly any further. The soldiers all dropped down and out from the truck, Ford was the odd one out since he was in civilian clothing. The officer declared that they were still well in range of the female MUTO's EMP field, so the only kind of method of transportation was on the ground only. The Brody male looked around, trying to see if he could find some way to get back home to his family. A loud whistle blew, and the camera showed an old-school train coming into the station. It would appear that the classic, vintage way of transportation had been reactivated in the small town, as soldiers were on the transport… the camera zooming in to show that they were guarding what appeared to be a nuclear warhead! An officer announced the train and weapons were heading to San Francisco, and that anyone not part of the mission was to disembark now. The camera soon switched back to Ford, as he now realized he had a way to get back to Elle and Sam… but he needed a way to be part of this new mission that was apparently active. Looking around for a bit, the soldier turned around and headed towards a hardware store.
Now Ford was talking to someone in the hardware store, but the soldier replied in a negative that he couldn't do it. He told the Brody lad, "This is a high-risk mission. That train is a national asset, not Amtrak.". He then asked two of his subordinates if they were good to go, one of them answering just about. The camera showed that the two were loading a large and heavy object into a crate. Ford stated from the look of the casings on the object, which were Minutemen ICBMs, that they were replacing the digital components with full analog retrofitting. In short, they were going to switch out the normal digital electronic parts for a more old-school setting. The officer turned to him and sarcastically asked if his jaw was supposed to drop at hearing the info, telling Ford that he got that he was from EOD. He walked past him, saying that he already had his own crew & they know what they were doing. Apparently the guy that Ford was talking to was a sergeant, another asking if they were going to aim the pointy end of the weapons on the train at the monsters. Ford looked directly at the officer who was giving him a hard time and asked the pointed question on when was the last time that any of his crew put their finger digits on a real, live bomb. He was pleading with the master sergeant to let him come along, that this is what he did for a living.
When he started to walk away, Ford called out, "Master Sergeant! My family is in the city. Okay, I need to get on that train.". The camera focused on Ford's face, showing his seriousness in the matter here.
Cliff Secord, stunt pilot and the hero from the Disney's 1991 live-action film The Rocketeer commented, "I have to give this to that Ford kid, he sure is determined to get back home.". Many agreed with the man, a majority of the Disney characters stating that they too would do whatever it took to get back to loved ones and family. Even the Author's themselves, their OC's included, would try to do what it took to get back to home and family.
Little Roo from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh looked over to Author DRAGONDAVE45 and asked on what was all that fancy talk that Ford said. It seemed the technical talk went over his head, as he was not alone due to that a lot of the patrons did not understand what the Brody man said either. The Author smiled down at the small kangaroo and answered, "What Ford just said, little jumper, is that they are switching the electrical stuff that is on the missile for something more old-school. Like clockwork parts and such. It's because the MUTO's can knock out anything electrical, so they had replace some of the parts with stuff that does not rely on electricity.". This satisfied the fan of Tigger, and also the explanation was told to the others who also got the concept.
A woman spoke as the scene changed from the hardware store to what appeared to be a hospital, the female being a reporter as she stated that the spokesman for the White House had not ruled out the use of nuclear force. The news broadcast was playing, showing to all the footage of the female MUTO engaging the armed forces. The headline on the monitor showed KTPN- AMERICAN UNDER ATTACK, an emergency alert message displayed above the footage. The camera switched from the TV to Sam, the child watching the news with a sad look upon his face. All around him were various other patients, showing that he had been brought to the hospital where his mother worked at. The telephone at the counter rang, one of the nurses telling Sam that his mom would be right back before picking up the phone to answer the caller. She paused for a moment to listen to the person on the other line, soon stating to hold on for a moment before looking behind her. The camera soon showed Elle walking beside a gurney, a moveable bed that was used in hospitals, with a bedridden patient on it. A fellow doctor was pushing it while Elle was guiding it more on the left side. The nurse looked to her and said it was for her, Elle saying that she would be there in a minute. But the nurse was insistent… saying that it was her husband.
The camera showed a lone phone in another room, Elle going into the empty room to take the call. She pushed a button to transfer the call, and picked it up and soon heard the sound of Ford. He asked if she and Sam were alright, Elle answering that she had been trying to call him everywhere. The relief in her voice was palpable, showing that she was very glad to hear her husband's voice. She stated that Sam was with her at work, and Ford was about to tell her something when the blonde beauty interrupted him by saying she could not believe what was happening right now. She was still trying to wrap around the concept about giant monsters appearing and laying waste to the United States. She asked if he was okay, Ford saying he was alright. Elle was very scared at the moment, and it showed as she really wanted her husband by her side. Mr. Brody said that he knew, and also that he would be at the hospital by sunrise. Once that he was at the location, he would get her and Sam out of San Francisco. He told her that the military had a plan to deal with the giant monsters, but his main priority was her and their son. She replied that she understood, but to please hurry for the events of the day were starting to get to her. He would do his best, and he ended it by telling her that he loved her very much. Sobbing on the other line, Elle replied that she loved him too & to be safe. He said he was coming home soon, then hung up the phone. The camera showed her, the woman relived that at least Ford was okay. She was hoping for the best as all the anxiety from earlier was now gone, not completely but at least much of it was out of her system now.
The camera switched from the hospital back to Lone Pine, where the train was all set and the soldier calling for his fellow comrades to move on out. The camera changed to show a long man walking towards said vehicle… and it showed to be Ford, the Brody lad now wearing a helmet and Army uniform! He held his semi-automatic weapon as he jogged to the train, the camera shifted to the inside of a home where a TV news broadcaster was reporting. He stated, "As blackouts and electrical interference radiate farther and farther west, citizens within 200 miles of the creature's current sphere of influence are being urged to please find shelter, stay indoors and keep off the roads.". The camera slowly panned down during the report, showing that the TV itself was very old cable analog that had buttons that showed the channel and what number buttons to push to go to another channel or control the volume. The monitor showed a picture of the female MUTO, a white bubble dome of sort that indicated the EMP field that was caused by the potent lady insect. It showed an airplane hitting the white bubble area… vanishing to indicate what would happen should the craft get near the EMP field.
Princess Calla from The Adventures of the Gummi Bears stated, "Thank God that Ford was able to call to his wife. And also that he was able to get a ride back to San Francisco, even though it's part of that mission. That is some good news, at least.". Plenty of the guests in the dinner theater club agreed with her, as it was a bit of light in the darkness for the stars in the movie. But now, some were wondering on how Ford would be able to get his family out of the city with a national crisis in effect. A few of the Disney characters, and Authors as well, were worried that Mr. Brody would be forced to choose… to either serve his country, or safeguard his family first.
When the TV set appeared for all to see, Kevin Flynn from Disney's 1982 live-action/computer generated film Tron exclaimed, "Hey! It's been a long while since I've seen one of this kinds of TV's! Man… talk about nostalgic there.". Indeed, for those that were created when television sets were slowly evolving, seeing that kind of set brought back some memories. Not just for the Disney characters, but for some Authors as well as it brought back some childhood memories if but for a moment. Those like Hiro Hamada who were technologically advanced in the head and skills were smirking as they saw the set before them as truly ancient and should belong in a museum of sort.
The scene switched from the town to an unknown area, giving a fantastic aerial view of what was going on down below. And what was happening on the ground… was truly a sight that would be remembered for some time. An untold amount of cars of various shapes, sizes and manufacture were all jammed up on the roads. A country road with a Y-shaped formation that had left and right merge into one were completely filled the brim with vehicles, and the sound of people on phones calling the emergency number filled the airwaves. The camera panned slowly upward, showing to the audience just how terrible the traffic jam was. And the reason for said traffic jam was shown… as a commercial airplane had crashed right on the road that led to the highway! Emergency vehicles like fire trucks and police were on the scene, the aircraft looked like it got sliced on the side! The camera switched from the country road and highway back to the battleship, where Admiral Stenz was on the phone with someone. The telephone itself was a bright red, indicating that it was one used in emergencies to call the higher officials and vice-versa. He answered to the person on the other line that the warheads were on the move, after a moment of silence the admiral completely agreed with the person on the phone. The officers were now all looking to their commander, the camera slowly zooming in to the back of his head. He then hung up the phone, looking towards the soldiers that were now staring at him. The camera switched to show his front side, the admiral nodding his head & Capt. Hampton ordering the others to resume duty & to know the exact location of the MUTO's ASAP! A woman answered that they were updating their models with current tracking data as of that very moment.
The admiral was walking along when Serizawa appeared, calling to him and pleaded with him to not go along with this mission. Stenz went to him and stated that he understood the Japanese doctor's concerns, but he was sacrificing his own soldiers every minute to steer just one of the MUTO's clear of from populated areas. And with two more monsters soon to make an appearance, and millions of lives at risk… this was the only option. He walked away back his place at the Command Center and told the doctor that he only wanted two answers from him at the moment: will the plan work, and if the giant monsters could be killed. Serizawa gestured to the monitors, stating that they had tried that before in the past with only allowing Godzilla to get stronger & bigger. Russell spoke, "We're talking dialable yield; megatons, not kilotons. Nothing can withstand that blast. Makes the bomb we tried to kill it with in '54 look like a firecracker.". As the captain spoke those words, the camera turned to show the monitor that projected the blast radius of the warhead they were using. The areas in red were going to be the most effected by the nuclear blast, with the yellow receiving only a mild effect… and both colors took up a good deal of the Pacific Coast!
Goofy shook his head as he spoke, "Gwarsh, look at that! I've never seen traffic accidents like that THAT bad! And that plane looks like it got scorched by something hot!". Indeed, the guests within the House of Mouse were seeing the effects of the MUTO's EMP field. Peg herself said that when the airplane had gotten too close to the female MUTO's EMP area, the engines conking out and most likely the plan got cut by one of her forelegs. And also the cars were stalled not just because of traffic, but because the EMP was strong enough to knock out the engines of the cars for good. It was a theory, but at least a plausible one for the moment.
When they got to the part that led back to the Destroyer-class battleship, again those that liked Godzilla were displeased upon hearing that they tried to kill him with an atomic bomb in 1954. However, at least they tried to with a nuclear bomb… rather than developing the horrible Oxygen Destroyer that had easily put even the modern nuclear warheads to shame. But when they heard the captain stating that power was much more powerful than before, and seeing the layout of the devastation of said warhead… well, some believed that the military had really flipped. Capt. Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, shook his head and said, "The government must be really desperate to deploy a weapon of that much power…". Anthony 'Tony' Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, agreed as he ran the calculations in his head… and truly, a megaton were ten times more powerful than a kiloton & if the yield of the blast was more as the Russell stated, than a good chunk of the Pacific Coast would be obliterated with a larger radius area becoming uninhabitable due to the radiation fallout.
The scene transisted from the ship to the mainland, where it was now nighttime… and the camera showing an aerial view of a set of train tracks that looked to have been mangled badly. As the camera panned upwards, it showed a good chunk of the railway was gone… like it had been chewed up! Coming into view was the train from earlier, the horn sounding off as it rode past the mangled tracks. The front train was towing a long line of other cars behind it, each filled to the brim with soldiers that were on their way to the battle lines. The camera soon showed a soldier, one named Sergeant Morales, as the young man was looking at the destroyed tracks they were passing by in the distance. Ford's voice called out to him, telling him to give him a hand with an item. The camera changed to showcase one of the devices that were going to be retro-fitted on one of the nukes, the sergeant stating that he believed that all nukes were detonated by remote control. Ford replied, "The MUTO's knock out everything electric, including detonators. Can't even get in range without these things going haywire! But this, this on the other hand… this is old school clockwork.". Indeed, the new timers that they were loading within the casing of the nuclear warhead itself looked to be made out of gears & clockwork parts. Morales commented that it took a licking, but keeps on ticking. Both laughed at the little joke… until an explosion up ahead got their attention! The camera turned to show the soldiers turning their heads and looking towards a fireball that just launched from a tall hill side in the distance.
All of a sudden, the train stopped and caused all of the soldiers on board to hold on as they lurched forward violently. Breaks screeched as the train's engines seemed to shut down, the soldiers wondering what was going on… until Ford and the other soldiers looked to see what appeared to be gunfire over the hill that had the explosion! The side of the hill was alit with red light, very much visible in the darkness of the night. More explosions followed, the camera panning back down to the train where an officer called out for Sergeant Morales to come to the front of the train on the double with the radio. The soldiers jumped down from the vehicle, soon gunfire being heard instead of seen like before. The camera showed the two massive nuclear weapons that were on their way to San Francisco, a soldier calling over a radio headset as he used some code words that described the team and the ones on the other line. He inquired if the bridge was secure… but he only received gunfire and yelling on the other line. Ford turned to look into the distance, knowing that something serious was going on with the team that was ahead of them. The officer repeated the message, stating that the train had VIP cargo headed for the coast and asked once again if the bridge was clear. Still no response other than noise that did not bode well. The camera showed Ford slowly walking forward, towards a tunnel that led into the mountain. While the operator continued to try and make some clear contact, the lieutenant moved on. When the officer started about their situation, he asked for another sitrep on the other end… only for screaming now to be heard over the communication line. It was soon followed by a guttural growl of some kind that had all of the soldiers on the alert now.
The camera switched to show a white flashlight shining on the roof of a rocky cavern, panning downward to show that it was due to four soldiers that were walking on the tracks inside of the tunnel. One of them turned to show that it was Morales, who had a radio communication set strapped to his back. The young man was very nervous and tense at this point, his comrades with guns readied and set before them with flashlights cutting through the darkness. They soon emerged from the tunnel, the tracks now set over a gap in the land. The rails made a bride that passed over a wide expanse of river down below. The music playing was soft and ominous, the camera soon showing Ford as he inquired to his fellow soldiers if they thought the bridge was intact. One of the soldiers answered that there was only one way to find out, asking Ford if he wanted to take the topside part of the bridge. Ford answered that he and Morales would check the top while the remaining two would check the bottom's structure integrity. The duo continued to walk along the bridge, while the others found a staircase that led down to the bottom of the bridge.
Yen Sid, the mighty magical alter-ego of Walt Disney himself, shook his head and spoke, "They are risk much to continue on when they themselves have seen the dangers up ahead. I sadly believe that they were gravely underestimating their enemy.". Much of the Disney and Author patrons agreed with the sorcerer who had once apprenticed Mickey Mouse in the art of magic. However, those dabbling in the technological ways were already thinking of scenarios in their head on what to do if they encountered something that was like the MUTO's. A being that could knock out electrical equipment with EMP bursts/field. Some opted to go a more sophisticated technological route to try and block that kind of attack, while others simply would try to follow the retro-fitting technique. For those that thought along those lines, sometimes old-school was the answer rather than a new techno tip or tool. However, a majority of the guests agreed upon was this. It was that when dealing with a powerful enemy like the female MUTO, one should never tread anywhere lightly or underestimate such an opponent.
Mickey himself said, "Gosh, I really would just back the train up to look for a new route. Might take longer to get to San Francisco, but at least the soldiers and train would be in one piece.".
The camera panned down as it followed the two men going below, bats screeching as they flew out from underneath the railway. It would appear that the flying mammals have been using the rocky tunnel and the underside of the railroad as a nesting area. Now with humans near, they decided to fly off in search of a new place to roost for the night. The camera showed the soldiers as they climbed down to the bottom of the bridge, but quickly switched over to Ford and Morales as they slowly treaded on the tracks. They were doing good so far, until the sergeant fell into one of the large spaces that was between the tracks, tripping and losing his flashlight down below. The device fell down with a clatter on the rocky ground, showing its durability as it fell from that height & still stayed intact and active. The soldiers turned quickly when they heard the noise behind them, showing they were very much on alert for anything. They looked up once they realized it was the flashlight that was dropped by the comrades… but a soft orange glow came from in front of them that caused the duo to slowly turn and look. However, their tenseness turned to fear as they let out a shout before diving out of the way! What was coming towards them fast was a burned, demolished tank! The soldiers made a leap of faith and dove to the ground, tumbling as the tank hit the land and rolled away from their position. One of the soldiers asked his comrade, Jones as it where, if he was alright. He reported that he was fine, rising up and going to see what had happened.
The camera switched to go behind them and zoom away slightly, the music picking up as they saw the reason for the burned tank… because at the very moment in the river, burning debris was floating down the waters! The debris were destroyed helicopters, tanks, jeeps… what the Army had utilized earlier in their fight against the female MUTO. After some moments of seeing the obliterated Army machines go to a watery grave, Jones gazed upward and blew a whistle out to Ford and Morales to tell them something. However, the duo was too high to hear the whistle as they continued onward. They soon saw the tunnel entrance/exit before them, Lt. Brody seeing that the bridge was intact. Morales called back to the convoy, telling them that the bridge was intact and clear. They could move out when they were ready, getting a response that they were acknowledged. The camera panned up to get a good shot of the duo, but in the background… a massive object that could be mistaken for a hill moved!
The scene changed back to the convoy, the soldiers being ordered to climb back on board to resume the mission. The train horn blew as the vehicle slowly started out, the soldiers on the ground grabbing anything and pulling themselves back on the train. The camera soon switched back to the ground, where Jones was trying to contact Ford but he kept getting static on his communication headset. He kept asking for their positions since he couldn't see them with his eyes, but static kept making the message very much garbled up. Jones and his partner were wondering on what was going on… until the tree they were near moved! It was actually a curved leg… a MUTO leg! The camera switched back to Ford and Morales, as they saw the massive female monster moving and quite visible to them! Lt. Brody ordered his subordinate to hit the deck, to fall down flat on his back with eyes trained on the MUTO. Both men made themselves as flat as possible on the tracks, Ford flashing his light on the MUTO as the female growled as it slowly stomped near the tracks. It was so massive, easily towering over the mountains and bridge. The camera showed both men very tense now, Ford training his flashlight & weapon on the giant insect as she slowly passed by them. Strangely enough, the MUTO actually ducked her head and started to go under the bridge, her orange eyes glowing in the darkness as she growled. Her mandible showed pointy sharp spikes on it that were similar to teeth. The radio on Morales started to crackle, the scared soldier pleaded with Ford to turn it off quick.
Statler and Waldorf shook their heads, the two legendary hecklers having some words to say about the military's situation. The short, nearly bald elderly Muppet commented, "Now there is something you don't see every day. Usually it's the bugs that have to look out of getting squashed by humans, but now it's the humans that have watch out of getting stepped on by a bug.".
His lanky compatriot remarked, "Yup, too bad those guys don't have a massive can of RAID. I bet that could take care of that MUTO in a heartbeat!".
Waldorf nodded his head, then put in, "Hey, I just thought of something! I know a great way to get rid of both Godzilla and the MUTO's!".
Statler inquired, "Oh, and what might that be?".
The small gentleman answered, "Make them honorary Muppets! That would make them go straight back to the oceans quick!". The two than did their signature laugh, making a crack that the giant monsters would hurry back to the oceans to stay there rather than become honorary Muppets. Although some of their fellow Muppets were not pleased by the crack. Though it did get a giggle from some of the House of Mouse guests in the area down below.
The female MUTO rose back up on the other side of the tracks, a loud trumpeting growl following her rising. Ford and the others were tense now, hoping the insect did not hear the crackling radio static. The camera showed the massive head of the beast rising up very close to the humans, her maw opening to let out take a bite out of the part where the soldiers were at, the tracks creaking due to weight that the female monster distributed near its foundations. Just then, a train horn blew that got the MUTO's attention! The behemoth let out a short shriek before moving her legs so that her underbelly was over the track. The camera showed the female had extra arm appendages underneath on its chest… and also a stomach that seemed to pulsating with glowing orange orbs! The stomach shone brightly from the multiple orange spheres that were within it, making all curious on what they were. A strange gurgling sound came from the sloshing of the stomach, as the MUTO stalked away as Ford and Morales slowly rose up from their positions. The soldiers watched as the monster seemed to disappear into the mist that was before them… soon the sound of gunfire and the shriek of the MUTO filled the air! The camera showed both soldiers readying their weapons, but soon the air was still… and a glowing object broke through the mist, which was the train!
The front of the train was on fire, Ford ordering a command for run as he and Morales turned around to beat feet and retreat! The music kicked up as the duo started to scram from the burning vehicle! Lt. Brody was faster than Morales at the moment, due to the sergeant carrying the radio equipment that added to his weight. He yelled out his name… before a leg smashed right into him and cutting through the track! Ford had little choice and made a leap off the side of the tracks! The camera showed the female MUTO on the scene once more, cutting through the tracks with ease and the train going down in flames to the water below! Ford was now letting gravity do the work as he fell into the river too, hoping he could land and swim away enough to avoid the burning debris of the demolished vehicle. He landed hard in the water feet first, his Army boots taking most of the impact as he was submerged in the freezing liquid. Thankfully though, he was away at a good distance when the burning train fell near him! The human quickly rose up in the air to get some air, gasping for breath as he now looked up to see the large insect monster. The camera showed the behemoth in full, her small curled appendages now grabbing the rest of the train to drop away into the river. She let out shrieks as she tore apart the metal vehicle, Ford taking gasps of air as he moved away further to avoid the rest of the train falling into the water. Ford turned to see the monster picking up the two warheads in her mouth… tearing apart one of the train parts that let one of the warheads drop to the ground and swallowing the other weapon whole! The camera played the events through Ford's point of view, the visions getting clear and blurry with water… until when the MUTO gulped down the missile, did the image go watery… than completely black.
Rabbit turned to Author Rose Spooks and asked on what the orange spheres were, the ones the MUTO had in her stomach. She was in thought on this for a moment, than answered the smart rabbit from the Hundred Acre Wood, "I believe that those glowing spheres may… well, maybe her eggs. Some species in the animal kingdom have special sacs or membranes that protect the eggs.". Rabbit was satisfied with this, but Owl commented that they could not be eggs because they showed no life within them. It was Kearitona Sjachraelgil that put in for her friend that most eggs needed to be fertilized by the males, and that some species of animals did that separately. That the female would lay the eggs, than the male would… well, would do his part so that the eggs would have little ones in them. Needless to say, it was a bit embarrassing for the ones who heard her to say. Keara made sure to put her words forth carefully when she explained it.
While a vast majority of the Disney characters and Author guests were adults and knew on how life was made, it was still a bit embarrassing for it to be explained in the open. They were not prudes or anything cold like that, but they did try to have some tact when trying to explain it.
The screen stayed black for a moment, when a male voice sounded off that someone was going under. Quickly, a monitor was shown as it was beeping and displaying numbers in red coloring. The scene had switched from the mountain area to the sea, where a soldier ordered all boats to sound the collision alarm. The camera soon showed said soldier as he ordered a heading, walking swiftly to a window while the others around him worked. A strange new alarm sounded off, and the camera showed what the soldier was looking at through the glass. Outside, it showed the massive dorsal spines of Godzilla as he dove under the water fast. The camera switched to the deck of the battleship, where workers called out to one another as they witnessed the massive spiked tail of the King of the Monsters rise up before going under. It was back to the Command Room, where Stenz was at the planning table and saw the pencils on the object slide to the left. A female soldier called out, "We're losing visual, Admiral! He's diving. Changing course and moving fast! I've got him at thirty-three knots and picking up speed. He's gonna outrun us, sir.". While she was speaking those words, the camera changed to show the monitors that displayed the mighty saurian. His gigantic dorsal spines were visible as he moved his body through the ocean. Stenz let out a small sigh, not liking that their target was now picking up speed. He had a feeling though that it was related to the MUTO's somehow…
The scene shifted from the battleship to another location, where it was daytime now. Night had come and gone, the picture fuzzy for a moment but it gradually got clearer. The sounds of animals filled the air, as the camera's focus and sharpness was cleared up to reveal a wild wolf at the edge of a river. A bird squawked in the distance, making the mammal take flight as it ran from the wide waters. The camera followed it, showing the wolf going through a mess of debris… the ones from last night where the female MUTO had just devastated the train and the soldiers along with it. The camera panned slowly to the right, displaying to all what happened when the insect behemoth left its wake from last night. Among the debris was a body covered in dry mud, caked in the substance from head to toe. As the camera zoomed in on him, it revealed to be Ford! As the visual got closer… Lt. Brody let out a small cough, signaling that he was still alive if just barely! He started to move his arms, coughing to get the mud and dirt from his lungs and mouth. His eyes opened slightly, trying to get his wits and bearings back. He coughed once more, turning his head slightly as his energy was returning. He saw that he was near the river near the mountain areas, and that it was now daytime.
A helicopter soon came in on the scene, blades whirling as it neared the water's surface. Wind swirled around it as it passed by Ford, the soldier moving & twisting his body to keep an eye on the aircraft. The camera changed to show a different kind of helicopter, a tandem rotor-type that was designed specifically to handle & carry large cargo. The unique air craft was hovering in place, lowering cables down from its belly. Ford managed to get to his feet, stumbling through the debris to get to the craft. He looked up to see other soldiers around the area, loading from the wreckage what appeared to be other warhead the female MUTO did not devour. The soldiers were securing the area, making sure the secure the cargo so that it didn't swing so much as they loaded it on the cable lifting straps. One of the soldiers crossed his arms around his chest, a type of verbal communication that was meant only for soldiers, pointing to his eyes and pointing behind his commanding officer. That was the signal to see what was behind him. The commander did so, turning around to see Lt. Brody on his feet and stumbling a little. He yelled out for all to hear, "Hold on! Medic!".
Capt. John Smith said, "Whoa! Godzilla is really moving now! Do you think he knows that the female MUTO just became more dangerous after eating that missile?". It was Ariel that answered for the explorer-soldier, stating that Godzilla's sixth sense was still intact in all of the incarnations. This version of the King of the Monsters appeared to be no different, having the ability to know just what happened where it concerned his enemies and where he needed to be. The blonde explorer and former flame of Pocahontas was impressed to say the least, wondering if he could have that kind of sense like the saurian had. Also, it was surprisingly King Triton that stated that knots were a form of speed terms when something swam in the water. It was no surprise that the ruler of Atlantica had certain knowledge when it came to abilities that were linked to the sea. He found out from Ariel and Melody long ago that Godzilla could swim up to forty knots, which in land terms would be forty-six miles per hour. And considering his size, it was quite swift for the saurian.
Much of the Disney stars & starlets were amazed to see that Lt. Brody was still alive after the incident, Hades snapping his fingers in annoyance as he wanted the hero to bite the dust. It was Oswald that asked, "Wow! That guy is even luckier than me to survive something like that! Why didn't the MUTO eat the other missile, and how did Ford survive the night after a dip in the water?!". It was Author Japan Boy that answered his questions. He reasoned that the massive monster only had enough room for one missile at the moment, and most likely was on a biological schedule of sort that made her abandon the other nuclear weapon. As for Lt. Brody, most likely the mud kept him warm just at the bare minimum for him to survive. Mud was a good insulator, if packed on thick enough. Oswald, and others listening in, seemed to be very satisfied with that answer as they turned their attention back to the film.
The scene transisted from the mountains to a hospital, where the camera showed patients that were hooked up to certain objects were being rolling away on their mobile beds. Medical personnel and civilians alike were aiding the doctors & nurses with their patients, the lobby being shown as full to the brim with people. The camera soon focused on the TV, where a policewoman was announcing that civilians were urged to make their way to BART stations, which were designated shelters. The words on the screen showed KYPN- WEST COAST EVACUATION, displaying to all that the cities near the Pacific Coast were being evacuated due to the incoming threat. Elle appeared and went to one of the moving patients, telling them that they were hers & her responsibility and asking where they were taking them. A soldier answered her as he continued to escort the doctor and the person on the mobile bed that they were being moved across the bridges, but only those in critical states and children too. Elle's nurse came by her, children at her side as she spoke to her friend, "Shelters are gonna fill up fast, Elle. Trust me, they'll be safer outside the city.". She offered to take Sam, but Elle stated no as she told her that her husband was on the way to get them. Her friend accepted it, but told her that if she changed her mind, the buses would be leaving in ten minutes. Elle looked around, people passing by her quickly as she whispered on where her husband was at.
The scene changed to show the situation outside, where multiple yellow school buses were parked at. Any and all vehicles that could handle loads of people were being used at the moment, soldiers and civil workers working to put the civilians in the transports fast. Youths were boarding the buses, or some opting to take an Army truck instead as soldiers aided the young ones in climbing aboard. The camera slowly panned up, where the people started to hear a noise and looked to the sky as well. Rising up to show the massive man-made towers of window, concrete and steel, the camera showed three helicopters flying over the city of San Francisco. The cameras shifted to show the inside of one of them, displaying that it was the aircrafts from the earlier in the mountains! The soldiers were focused on the large one that carried the warhead, Ford among them and the lieutenant raising his voice over the rotating blades on where they were taking the nuke. A soldier answered him, "Twenty miles offshore, convergence point! We're going to lure them there! Three birds, one stone!". The camera changed again to show the missile being lowered slowly onto a ship, many soldiers down below as they handled the nuclear weapon with care. The warhead was being strapped on, the potent weapon ready for deployment once more.
A siren sounded off, and the camera changed to show the buses and trucks near the hospital leaving the scene. It soon showed Elle, her son Sam in her arms as they were now outside. A bus horn honked behind her, a school bus stopping just inches from her. Elle turned around, holding her hand out and pleading for the bus to wait for a moment. She went to the doors, which opened for her, and gently deposited her son on the bus steps. The blonde nurse looked up to see her friend from earlier, her name now spoken as Lauren and was relieved to see her. Elle spoke to her son, saying that her friend was going to take care of him for a little bit. And that his father would be there soon, and she will be coming to get him right after that. She promised him that the things she spoke of would come to pass, tenderly stroking Sam's cheek as he weakly answered okay. It seemed that the events were hard on the little guy. Elle offered a watery smile and pressed her lips to her son's forehead, delivering a kiss of love and promise to him. Delivering multiple small, quick kisses to his forehead, Elle soon let him go with Lauren taking him by the hand. She looked down to her blonde friend and promised to look after her friend's son well. Sam said goodbye to his mother, the doors closing as Elle continued to look to her blessing. The bus than started to move, the camera showing the world as a blur now through the other side of the school bus door.
Peg Pete said, "I'm glad the city is doing something like that. I would have urged PJ and Pistol to get away as well along with their loved ones.". Her and Pete's children, PJ and Pistol, were not able to come to the special Toho movie night at the House of Mouse. They had made special plans with their significant others; PJ with Vanima Brown, and Pistol with Matt Norwood. They did send their regards and well wishes to their parents, and would be home for the Christmas holidays. And many parents, be they human or not, would have sent their little ones out of danger & to a safe place. In their view, their children were more than just a priceless blessing but their very future as well. And for them, their need to survive in the world was a top priority. However, when they got to the part when the soldier told Ford about the military's plans for the nuke, they were still miffed that the nation was still going through with such a reckless mission.
Rose looked to Ms. Kanga and said, "I bet it would be pretty hard for you to let go of Roo, just like Elle did for Sam, right?". The mother kangaroo nodded, looking down at her little blessing who had the bravery to stay instead of going upstairs with the other little ones in the Kids Room. She put him in her pouch whenever some of the action got too intense, but the young joey was really enjoying seeing the movie. The Author had to give credit to the young ones that had decided to stay to see the movie through, seeing that they were braver and tougher than one gave them credit for.
The scene changed to show two soldiers looking up in the sky, a helicopter coming in for a landing. They were on a rooftop of a building complex, the words in white appearing to show OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA with smaller words forming under it TACTICAL OPERATIONS COMMAND. It was a location twelve or so miles east from San Francisco, and apparently it was the new headquarters for the military's operations. The camera panned down to show many soldiers and other vehicles plus equipment down below, the image briefly shown before switching over to the landing of said aircraft. Once it touched down, the soldiers disembarked and Ford stepped out just as two soldiers arrived to take him to a medical officer. It appeared that while he was regaining some strength, he needed a bit of help to walk at the moment. As the medical officer had Lt. Brody sit down and was examining him, he looked up and the camera showed what he was looking at. It was a sign that read OAKLAND BAY AREA PARK, and a school bus passing through it. Just then, Admiral Stenz came on the scene as he entered a room that was now Central Command. Many soldiers and experts were working at the table, while monitors were up on a wall nearby. He looked to all and ordered a sitrep, wanting to know the location of the targets. One of them stated that the male MUTO was spotted thirty miles off the Farallon Islands, which was in the Pacific Ocean. A woman added in that seismic activity was reported near Livermore, suggesting that the female insect monster was closing in where her mate would land.
Stenz asked on the report concerning Godzilla, a female soldier answering that last contact with the behemoth was five hours ago. The saurian had maintained a bearing of 053 degrees, then went down below to a depth of ten-thousand feet! She suggested that he would be within the area in an hour or so. The admiral looked at the monitor, a news report going on as a male newscaster reported that residents were trying to escape San Francisco by any means necessary. The picture showed the image of the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the famous landmarks in the United States. The bridge showed the roads on it were jammed pack with cars and other vehicles. Stenz looked out towards the camera and stated there were still buses on that structure! The scene changed from the command post to the famous bridge, which was covered in mist with two jets flying close to it. The camera soon went to showcase the action on the bridge, which was jammed pack with cars, buses and more with people honking their horns and yelling to get the traffic flowing. Police and military soldiers were doing the best they could, but it was difficult in trying to navigate all the various vehicles. And now it was starting to rain, a steady downpour soaking everyone that was outside. Police in raincoats that identified which force they worked on went around to check the buses and civilians, radio chatter filling the air. One policeman went to a school bus, yelling out that they were not going to stop the buses here.
However, the African-American driver behind the wheel couldn't hear the officer due to the noise of the kids behind him. The camera showed the little ones really being rowdy in the vehicle, the only one not taking part of the action was Sam as he sat quietly near one of the windows. The kids were looking at the traffic that was surrounding them, a young girl calling out for everyone to look out the other side of the bus. The young ones did so, all in amazement as they saw the huge tanks passing by them. The attack vehicles were actually on the Golden Gate Bridge! The camera switched back to the outside of the bus, where the tanks were lining up on the side of the bridge where there were no other cars around, soldiers lining up to be like a living barricade as the tanks rolled on by with a commander giving out orders to everyone. Once they were situated at a certain spot, the tanks rolled and crushed through the metal gate barrier and soon turned the turrets out towards the ocean. A commander shouted for the tanks to move into position till they had a clean line on sight. Once the tanks were parked, soldiers carrying rocket-launcher bazooka-like weapons went to cover the flank areas. The camera showed that down below them were battleships, one sailing by under them and the camera panning upwards to show a whole fleet of Navy attack ships in the bay area! The rain continued to pour, police and soldiers doing their best to get the vehicles off the bridge, the camera soon going back to the bus where the kids were amusing themselves…
Until a deep roar, the kind they had never heard before, caused all the kids to become quiet and still.
Lord Dragaunus, the main saurian villain from the Mighty Ducks chuckled and stated, "Oh, this is going to be very good. Godzilla will soon show to all how mighty a saurian can be!". While he was a villain that was actually quite popular with many people in the real world, for him and his fellow Saurian comrades, this was a matter of species pride. In his view, Godzilla was the apex being that would have been worshipped as a deity to his fellow Saurian race. Add to the fact that this one was muscle and brain made him and his flunkies Siege, Chameleon, and Wraith actually root for the King of the Monsters. The Disney and Author guests had been worried about the people on the bridge when they saw the terrible traffic jam, though some commented that they experienced that kind of traffic jam back in their neck of the woods. Some were surprised to see the military actually bring in tanks on the famous landmark, especially with civilians still on the bridge. Though those that were in Navy service like Donald were impressed at seeing the fleet of battleships within the bay area.
And of course, when all heard the deep roar of the legendary one… it was DJ that chuckled and said, "Hehehehehe… the roar of a king silences all indeed, even kids.".
The camera switched back to outside, where the bus driver was still as well as he looked out the window in the direction the roar came from. He wiped away the fog that was inside on the window, wanting to see on WHAT made that sound. The sound of raindrops hitting the vehicle was the only sound, until the camera went back inside the bus to hear the soft breathing of the kids as they tried to locate the object that made that incredible roar. Sam looked out through the window, looking out towards the water as he saw the ships floating… than the window got slammed and cracked by a seagull who rammed into it! The children let out screams of surprise and shock, seeing the whole sky filled with the marine birds as they flew by. It was as if the birds were heralding the arrival of whatever made that sound. The camera switched to a battleship, the soldiers looking up and around as the birds squawked loudly in the air. A solider in the background that was keeping a lookout exclaimed, "Portside! Two-hundred meters!". The soldiers who heard the report went to the mentioned side of the ship, looking out at the still ocean water, where a thick blanket of mist still covered the area. A mysterious-like music came up as the soldiers looked outward, a sign that something was coming. The music picked up as the military men indeed saw that something was coming… the massive row of dorsal spines that belonged to the King of the Monsters! A soldier yelled out for all to brace, as the surge of water that surrounded the spines was huge! As the spines got closer… they suddenly stopped in front of the battleship! A commander over the PA system ordered for all to hold their fire, turrets now pointing at the dorsal spines as they just stayed there in the water.
The music picked up when the spines surged up and downwards, indicating that Godzilla was diving under them! The large spiked tail rose up into the air like last time, the soldiers very much tense as they saw the appendage that could snap the battleship in two if it was brought down upon them! The camera showed that behind them, a battleship was being picked up as Godzilla rose from underneath them! The soldiers all took positions, the camera showing that the dorsal spines were massive and huge up close! The commander that was on the battleship that was being picked up ordered to fire, the gun turrets shooting and striking the back area of the saurian! Godzilla was not fully out of the water, sirens sounding as the command to attack was given. Two of the battleships that were now opening fire had missed the behemoth, the projectiles now striking the bridge! The camera switched back to the inside of the school bus, the children screaming as Laura shouted for all of them to get down in their seats! As the deadly missiles flew over the bridge, luckily none of them striking the structure itself, the driver made a quick decision there. His face set in a determined one to get the little ones to safety, he put the pedal to the metal and started to push through the other vehicles! He yelled for the soldiers and police to get out of the way, not really wanting to run them down but he had little choice in the matter now. He managed to get some distance from his previous position, breaking through cars and barricades, but he was forced to stop when a missile struck one of the large metal cable supports. The heavy maroon-colored cable came down in front of the bus, forcing him to stop right there as the deadly hailstorm of firepower continued on.
The camera switched back to the outside, where soldiers were coming to the side of the bridge with the tanks. A soldier got on the command line and exclaimed, "Striker! There's civilians on the bridge! Hold your fire! Hold your…!". He was cut off when more deadly missiles were on its way towards his position… but a row of spines rose up from the side of the bridge, blocking and taking the hits from the projectiles, thus saving the bus and everyone on that particular spot on the bridge!
Max Goof said, "It seems that seagulls are like the booming sounds from the T-Rex from the Jurassic Park movie, that they herald in the coming of Godzilla.". His lady love Roxanne nodded her head, adding in that the sea birds stick around Godzilla since he was almost like part of the sea. Again, the patrons of the dinner theater club were surprised when Godzilla stopped in front of the battleship and tried to go under it. However, it was Author Darkness Rissing that stated that since the saurian was in the bay area, he couldn't go lower to go under the crafts like last time so that is why he had to rise up more than before. It was a good theory, and the animated stars/starlets were quite upset when the Navy started to open fire on Godzilla… and more so when the deadly missiles had missed the spines and struck at the bridge! Prince Naveen congratulated the bus driver for thinking of the children, and trying to get the bus off of the bridge.
When the firepower from the battleships struck one of the suspension bridge cables and forced the bus to stop, a majority of the guests were now worried for the vehicle that contained Sam and the other occupants of the bus. And when the part came to show Godzilla rising up to actually block the shots of the Navy, it was Sofia the First who cheered and exclaimed, "Ha! I knew it! Godzilla is a good monster! He used his body to block the shots and save the kids!". It was a debatable notion, that much was for sure. However, the little royal beauty of Enchancia was set firm that Godzilla in the film was a hero. Not an anti-hero or villain, but a genuine hero. But one thing was clear; if the King of the Monsters had not blocked the shots with his body, the missiles would have torn through the bridge, cutting it in half and leaving a good-sized gap in the road that would have cut off any kind of retreat from the area.
The camera switched to show the faces of the kids inside the bus, all looking in awe at the rise of the legendary King of the Monsters as the behemoth let out a low growl that vibrated the entire air. The bus driver peered out the window to also the massive monster, and that is when the Army was ordered to open fire on the beast! The soldiers opened fire with their machine guns as the side and chest of Godzilla, who roared loudly as he grabbed one of the suspension cables. One of the tanks nearby shot him at near point blank range at the side, the recoil causing it to buckle slightly! The kids inside the bus screamed at the sounds of gunfire. Godzilla did not retaliate surprisingly, just keeping his grip on the cable as the tank rolled back to get some distance from him. It backed into the fallen cable from earlier, the driver seeing an opportunity and took it! He put the pedal to the metal once more, honking at the soldiers and telling him to move as the bus drove off fast from the scene. Godzilla continued to roar as he was pelted with gun & tank fire from all directions, soldiers halting their weapons momentarily to not shoot the civilian bus before resuming fire again. The camera showed the inside of the bus, where the children continued to scream as they saw Godzilla roar loudly… and tore through the bridge once the vehicle had made it a good distance from the area! The saurian had enough of the human firepower, forcing him to go through the structure to try and escape the annoying blasts that hit him. The bus tore broke through the barrier, never stopping as the saurian cut through the Golden Gate Bridge.
The camera switched to the open waters, where the battleships in the distance saw Godzilla going through the bridge through the mist that still covered the area. He roared loudly as he finally gotten away from the humans that had attacked him, two jets roaring over the skies to engage the giant monster. The camera panned down to show the soldiers on the battleship that were watching the scene, soon an order coming out to prepare the warhead. Water from both the heavens and the sea itself rolled onto the deck, drenching all as the soldiers got around the large missile to stabilize it and preparing to arm it. Two soldiers removed one of its shield casing, something that would have protected the device from the EMP effect that the MUTO's gave off, another soldier going to the exposed insides of the weapon and sliding down a panel that revealed the retro-fitted detonator that Ford had installed into the warhead earlier. A commander ordered for the arming keys to be inserted into the appropriate slots, two soldiers that had them putting them in. One of the military men that had put his key in looked to his comrade and counted down from three, and when he reached one… both turned the keys at the exact same time, causing the gears in the detonator to move & starting the countdown to when the bomb would explode! And according to the numbers, it would be in an hour and thirty minutes!
Suddenly, an EMP blast sounded off that got the attention of the soldiers, an invisible shockwave going through the air and hitting the ships in the water. The driver of the ship tried the levers and gears, but nothing was working. He leaned over the side to report that the engine was dead, that they had lost power. The scene switched from the sea to the city, to show an aerial of San Francisco as the many tall buildings in the area soon going off as the EMP struck the metropolis. Sirens, engines and other kinds of machinery were soon out completely thanks to the EMP shockwave, the camera soon going down to show a patient in a hospital car. The machines and other devices in the vehicle stopped as a medical officer was tending to the patient, Elle being shown that she was helping said officer. The blonde beauty looked from her patient to the area outside of the hospital van, the area still and with only the sound of raindrops filling the air. The camera turned to show her point of view, Elle looking at the tall buildings that were slightly obscured due to the mist and rain. A shadow appeared through the mist… and after some moments, Elle and others saw that it was a parachute with a being attached to it! As Elle witnessed this, a jet crashed in from behind her and striking one of the buildings! The dedicated blonde nurse & mother turned to see the craft crashing into the structure, flames and smoke rising up fast from the crash! The people burst forth into screams as debris rained down from the spot where the jet had struck. The camera switched to show the shocked faces of Mrs. Ford and the other civilians as the beheld the destruction before them.
A majority of the Disney and Authors were stunned to see the powerful behemoth tearing through the bridge, though some believed that Godzilla had no choice in the matter since he was being blocked by the ships and bombarded on all sides. They were glad that the bus holding the kids made though, but they were concerned for the ones that had been plowed through by the behemoth. When they all saw the timer on the detonator starting to countdown, it was Alice who said, "Oh my… only an hour and a half when the dreaded thing explodes? That does seem a tad too short for it, especially when there are still people around.". Indeed, many in their seats believed that the countdown was short and anything could happen in that small timeframe. When the EMP shockwave hit the area and shut everything down, they all knew on who was coming. And when the part came to showcase the city, and when the parachute was shown along with the jet that ran into the building… the animated and Author guests knew that things were only going to get more intense from here on in!
The music become more dramatic as the scene switched from the city back to the bay area, where the camera showed jets crashing down from the sky like swatted flies! Soldiers on the boats saw the once mighty winged vehicles falling down into the water, all yelling as the crafts crashed into the sea. Some flew straight down, while others tumbled like pennies in a washing machine before slamming hard into the waters. One crashed right next to the ship, rocking the boat and causing the soldiers to lose their footing as they were soon soaked by the sea water. As the military men rose up and sounded off if anyone was okay, they all saw the rear end of the jet being sucked down into the depths. A shriek was heard from directly above them… it was the male MUTO! The soldiers raised their weapons up and opened fire at the sky… the winged insect flying through the mist with wings spread until it tucked them into his body, crashing right through the craft! The dive into the water and through the ship itself was spectacular, in a gruesome sort of way, as the swell from the spot where the monster had splashed through rose up like a tidal wave. All around the spot where the male MUTO had been around were incoming jets, all crashing into the sea near the location. The camera panned down to show an area that had people getting out of their cars to see first-hand on what just occurred. However, it soon turned to panic as the male MUTO rose from the sea at the edge where concrete met the water! In its mandible mouth was the ship it had crashed into… and on it was the warhead! The humans ran away from the area, the male MUTO not paying attention to them as its focus was on the warhead. It threw away the demolished ship, picking up the missile with its mouth. The camera soon lowered to ground level, showcasing the humans fleeing from the scene in terror before focusing back on the large insect who had managed to rip the missile free from its attachments and holding it in his curved appendages. The beast let out a shriek before taking to the skies, wings flapping strongly as people from within nearby buildings saw it fly away.
The camera changed to show the giant monster flying through the mist, the music dramatic as it flew through the air and over the city. The male MUTO went towards a Chinese-oriented rooftop, landing on the building with the camera showing a full aerial view of the action. The male shrieked rapidly, calling out to something in the distance that was obscured by a massive plume of black smoke. A reply call was given, one of the tall buildings within the smoke crashing down to the ground. Once the male heard the reply call, he spread his wings once more and took flight. The camera went back to ground level, as the monster landed in front of the black smoke… emerging from the cloudy substance was the massive female MUTO as it growled at the small male before her. The camera switched views to show the two insects growling softly to one another, the female leaning down while the male leaned up to nuzzle the other with their heads in a surprising show of affection! It was actually a romantic side to see, the two behemoths clicking to one another as they pressed their mandibles towards one another as if delivering a kiss! Though it was a bit awkward due to the missile now being in the male MUTO's mouth. Said projectile was soon taken by the female MUTO, her mandible jaws gripping it gently before one of her appendages took the missile as she ducked her head down to look at the swelling brood within her belly. The male MUTO was also gazing at the small orbs within her sac, looking almost like a proud papa. The female tucked the missile near her sac, knowing now what to do.
The camera showed the male MUTO getting on top one of the nearby buildings, spreading his wings and taking flight just as his mate was now pounding into the ground furiously with both large, curved appendages! Dust rose up as the female shrieked, working on the pavement… intent on making the area her nesting place to put her babies at! A Chinese gate structure that showed twin Oriental dragons on top of it would be the entrance to the nest!
Dreams actually sighed loudly as she hugged Danny's arm and said, "Awww! That is just so sweet! Those two really look like they are in love, it's incredible!". Danny had to admit, seeing the MUTO's together like that & acting like a real couple would in love surprised him. He wasn't the only ones, as many of the patrons within the House of Mouse were more than surprised to see the two massive insects being sweet with one another rather than rough & tough as they assumed. Some of the hopeless romantics, Author and animated character alike, actually sighed a little when they saw the romantic gesture and nuzzling. However, it all changed when it was Author GODZILLA1996 brought them back down to earth when he explained to them that the female MUTO was carrying a lot of little ones… and with each baby having the ability to use EMP like their parents, they would turn the world back into the Stone Age. By sniffing out the many nuclear weapons and waste the world had, the MUTO's would be able to breed at a rate that would make the world into a nightmare by decimating electrical devices all over permanently.
He finished it by saying, "Things just got a whole lot harder for the Army and Godzilla. No doubt the female MUTO took the missile so her babies can absorb the radiation from it, and with how powerful the fools made it… those little ones are going to hatch nice and strong, and thirsting for me.". This indeed sounded serious when he explained it to them, and now realized that Godzilla and the humans would have their hands full if the little MUTO's hatched.
The scene changed from the city of San Francisco back to Oakland, where military vehicles and soldiers were preparing themselves for another engagement. The camera followed a jeep vehicle before showing a tent that had numerous soldiers in it, a medical doctor telling Ford that his son Sam was checked into the Oakland Coliseum shelter a little over an hour & that he was safe. However, he informed the lieutenant that he had no record or info about his wife Elle, saying that she never left the city when it was being evacuated. Ford told him to check again, very much upset with himself that he told her to wait for him but he never made it to the destination due to the female MUTO attack. The medical officer offered his apologies, but at the moment they were all busy trying to get as many people as possible from downtown San Francisco into the subway shelters that were filling up fast. He suggested that his wife was probably fine, walking away from him and going to a female colleague as they continued doing their duty. Ford was left behind, feeling very frustrated and helpless at the moment. However, that all changed when a male's voice called out, saying that he was looking for Lt. Brody.
The camera switched from the tent to the inside of the Command Room, where a group of soldiers and Capt. Hampton was talking to them while around a table. He stated, "Okay, listen up! The male delivered the warhead to the center of Downtown. That puts 100,000 civilians in the blast radius, and we can't stop it remotely.". A soldier picked up that the warhead was retro-fitted with an analog timer, which would keep it ticking despite the MUTO's EMP effect that went to a five-mile bubble radius. However, it was due to said bubble effect that made any kind of approach from the ground not an option. That is why the only option was to do a HALO maneuver, going high into the air about 30,000 feet and dropping down! The camera went to the map table, where it showed a map of the California area with a clear plastic container being a model for the MUTO's EMP effect. The soldier tapped the top center of the object, saying that is where they would make their jump. He added that if any of them managed not to hit a skyscraper on the way down, to meet at a rally point that was in code. One of the soldiers asked Dr. Serizawa, who was nearby, on any guesses where to find the warhead. The camera turned to show the soldiers now looking at the Japanese doctor, who was shown along with Dr. Graham by his side. The elderly man to start looking underground, stating that if the giant insects have spawned… they will be building a nest. Admiral Stenz looked to the captain of the outfit and asked on when they found the warhead, how long would it take to disarm it. Sadly the leader of the group answered that without seeing the analog module, he couldn't make even a wild guess.
A familiar voice picked up, the soldier saying that he would only need sixty seconds if he could access the module… as it was he who retro-fitted the device itself into the nuke. It was Ford, the Brody man shown to all as the camera turned to him! Capt. Hampton reported that the EOD tech officer was the only survivor of the train attack from earlier, the captain stating that it sounds they could really use Ford at the moment. A young private asked, with all due respect of course, that if the plan to disarm the device did not work… than what was Plan B. The captain answered that the waterfront near the location was one klick downhill; the plan was to get the bomb to the pier, onto a boat that was docked nearby… and to send it far away from the city as much as possible before it exploded. After a moment of silence, Russell asked if there was any questions but none was forthcoming. After a moment, he dismissed them with the captain saying immediately to move out. As the soldiers left, Capt. Hampton called Brody back as he needed to tell him something. He informed the lieutenant that the soldiers had already been briefed… that there was no extraction plan of any kind. That if he didn't walk out from the city, no way to come back at all. Ford answered that he'll do whatever it takes to make sure the bomb was either disarmed or sent out to sea away from the city.
As he walked out of the room, the camera focused on Stenz, who was pensive and silent. He looked to his left and walked, going to Dr. Serizawa as the Japanese man was outside looking out towards the city… and the storm that was brewing in said area. Both stood behind a wall of sandbags that had been installed for defense purposes, soldiers and machine guns propped on stilts flanking them. Once he was by his side, the admiral asked if this alpha predator he put much faith in had such a chance against the MUTOs. The man was silent for a moment before he answered, "The arrogance of man is thinking nature is in our control… and not the other way around. Let them fight.".
Esmerelda stated, "You got that right, doctor! You got that right!". The alluring gypsy dancer & mother knew well on how man tended to be very arrogant when it comes to control, Judge Claude Frollo just one of many examples. And she was not the only one who agreed with Dr. Serizawa, as many Authors and Disney characters also was on the Japanese doctor's side. Just after Serizawa had spoken those words, the screen paused and the lights came back on. Mickey went back to the stage, telling everyone that now was the time for a brief fifteen minute intermission. Dreams and Danny were a bit surprised, since intermission parts like this was thought to have gone the way of the dinosaurs where it concerned the movie business. But as one can see, the main mouse of the house kept a Hollywood practice alive in his abode. Once the announcement was made, that is when activity exploded all around them! The penguins came rushing in from the kitchen to re-take any food/drink orders from the guests, while said patrons from all over went to other tables to talk to their friends.
Dreams heard her name being called, looking over to see that it was Ariel as she waved to her and pointed at the table she was currently occupying at the moment. Said large table had the members of the Kaiju Supremes, and it seemed the members wanted to get to know their latest member more. The young woman looked to Danny and said, "Say Danny, I'm going to talk with my new friends for a bit. What are you going to do?".
Mr. Fenton answered, "If you don't mind, I'm going to just walk around and introduce myself to some of the characters here. Just mingle for a bit, then I'll come back here to our table.". The halfa wanted to meet some of the heroes that had only heard about back in his area in Universal Studios area, and wanted to get to know them. Maybe even get some tips from some of the heroes like Hercules, Robin Hood and more.
The Author giggled and gave her man a kiss on the cheek, both of them blushing as Dreams wished Danny good luck & to have fun before going over to the table that had the various Disney ladies and men who were part of the blossoming group that delved into the Toho universe. Dreams took a seat between Ariel and Jasmine, the introductions starting and also with Dreams asking her own questions towards each character. Danny looked on, thanking the Lord above for such a beautiful blessing before going to meet with Hercules and Meg.
Author Rose Spooks went towards Robin Hood and Maid Marian, the young lady wanting to meet with the legendary fox archer & his lady love. She walked up to the foxes and introduced herself to them, the young lad shaking the hand of the lady with the fair maiden doing the same. Little John walked up to the group and asked, "Whoo boy! Now this is one swinging party here! How do you do, little lady? Name's Little John, though… hehehehe, not so little up close. You enjoying yourself here since this is your first time?".
Rose giggled and answered, "Hey there, big boy! Name is Rose, and so far I am loving this place! So many characters, so many names… from the past all the way up to here! It's amazing!".
Maid Marian remarked, "It sure is! And it's all thanks to DJ Rodriguez, who brought some new life to the place when he introduced us to the Toho universe. He had a lot of help though with Japan Boy, since it was he who inspired him to make his Disney/Toho stories.".
As the four started to talk, DJ looked over to see that his new friends to the House of Mouse were enjoying themselves very much. The Hispanic man from San Antonio smiled, very glad that he could have Authors and animated characters connect like this. He said to himself, "Now this is what I like to see. I really hope that Dreams, Danny and Rose like this night enough to want to come back should another Toho Night commence here at the club. Also to see if Rose would be willing to join the Kaiju Supremes like Dreams has.".
For the next ten minutes, the guests did various things. Some went to the facilities to take care of business, others ordered more food and drink from the unique menus, while the rest mingled with one another. Authors went to certain Disney legends to chit chat with them, especially on stories they wanted said beings to be in. And newcomers like Danny, Dreams and Rose were forging new bonds with the Disney cast. When Mickey came back on stage to announce that only five more minutes remained until the movie would start up again, the guests rushed over back to their respective tables. Danny had managed to get back to his seat, and soon Dreams joined him as she waved goodbye to her new friends. The halfa managed to snag a waiter penguin as he waddled by, the couple ordering more food & drinks for the next leg of the film.
Rose had managed to get back to her seat near her friends from the Hundred-Acre Wood, very much wanting to see what would happen next in the Legendary film. Soon, all of the guests had gotten back to their seating tables… and the lights dimmed down once more as the film resumed where it had left off. Danny looked to Dreams and stated, "I really hope to see them fight soon! And I know that Godzilla will win against those flying EMP insects!". His lady smiled at him, also hoping for the same outcome. The female Author had agreed with Dr. Serizawa that when it came to balance... nature was the one to lead on, not man. And sometimes… a fight was inevitable.
The scene changed from Oakland back to San Francisco, the camera showing the inside of a building where some workers amazingly were still in the structure. A man had stood up to see something coming out from the mist, a large growl coming from the cloudy haze. The other office employees got up and turned to see in the direction their fellow worker was looking at… and coming from the mist was the male MUTO! All screamed as the large insect flew by them, the monster screeching loudly as it displayed a remarkable precision in gliding/flying! The camera went outside to ground level, where it showed the male landing on a building, shrieking loudly as the top part of the structure collapsed when it landed as he flapped his wings to steady himself. Down below, the people on the streets were terrified as they saw the immense monster, Elle being among the ones in the crowd. They all started to run in the opposite direction, the blonde beauty's head turned to keep an eye on the insect… until a noise got their attention, and all turned around with the camera panning upwards to see emerging from the water was Godzilla! The saurian rose up with the grace and stance of a warrior-king, ready to do battle against the enemy! The people were silent for a moment as they saw the behemoth rising up as he did, than screamed as they panicked! The camera turned to show Elle's face, who was in shock at seeing such a creature in front of her. The woman backed off, and soon fled into one of the subway entrances that was nearby.
The camera pointed upwards to show the male MUTO, the insect shrieking as it jumped from its building perch and flew towards Godzilla! Elle managed to see before being pushed into the subway shelter by the crowd Godzilla opening his maw to grab the insect with his teeth. It failed and the two were about go into an epic struggle… until the doors closed, and all was blanketed in darkness. The scene changed to show that the darkness had changed to become cloud-like, and soon the camera showed a plane that was cutting through the thick clouds. It was an Army cargo plane, and soon the voice of a man came out as he spoke, "Oh Lord God, we give thanks for the opportunities you have given us going together as comrades to defend our great nation. We thank you for the time and service that you have given us together. Now as we are about to leave one another, let us have the strength…". The camera had gone inside of the craft as the first words were spoken, showing a soldier holding up a small Bible that had Army coloring on it. This showed that the faith in the Lord was strong. The other soldiers got ready, Ford included as they prepared for the HALO jump they would soon be executing. Lt. Brody soon took out from his pocket a picture he always kept on hand, one that showed his wife and son. He looked at them, hoping to come back from the mission to see them again. Soon an alarm blared as the lights inside the bay doors turned red… signaling that it was time for the jump! He and the other soldiers put on their masks as the bay doors opened up, the remains of the sunlight shining in the distance over the clouds.
All rose up as one from their seats, turning towards the exit as the alarm continued to blare forth. The wind whistled loudly as the soldiers in the front walked towards the edge of the plane, Ford putting on his goggles like his comrades did. All waited for the signal to jump, and it came when the alarm sounded off once more! The soldiers of the United States of America ran forth and leapt off the aircraft, the camera showing them diving down with the red flares attached to their beings going off to act as beacons to show location! The camera showed the plan flying high over the sky as it unloaded its living cargo, dramatic music playing as the camera switched to show the soldiers as they dropped into the sea of clouds down below them. The clouds got darker as they plunged into them, thunder rumbling and bolts of lightning showing as they were plunging into a thunderstorm! The soldiers continued to fall, the camera going to show an impressive storm cell that was brewing all around them with a tornado-like storm to the far left! It was like they were descending down to Hell itself… lighting flashing below them as they went through the cloud barrier again. The camera went to Ford, looking through his point of view as he panted through his mask. It was for a bit before the city was shown, on fire and in ruins, as the red flare marks burst through a hole in the storm. The music picked up dramatically as the soldiers fell down towards the buildings, going back to Lt. Brody's point of view… as he saw Godzilla fighting the male MUTO! He was extremely close to the action, flashes of lighting showing the scene as the saurian was fiercely clashing with his natural enemy. The insect managed to push himself away from the King of the Monsters, who roared back as he gave chase.
The many guests of the dinner theater club were stoked when they saw Godzilla emerging to do battle with the male MUTO, but a bit disappointed when they saw the monsters blocked by the panicking crowd. Phil exclaimed, "Oi! I was really hoping to see the two go at it, like Herc does when he battles against the ones Hades sends his way! If I was there, I would have stayed outside to see the fight instead of going inside!". While some did not totally share the satyr's statement, a majority of them did agree that they wanted to see more of the monsters rather than the people. While they found the human part of the story interesting, what they really wanted was to see more action from the real star which was Godzilla.
DJ once commented that his older sister would take a phrase from Ian Malcom from the legendary first Jurassic Park movie by saying this: "Now… Now eventually you do have Godzilla in your Godzilla movie, eh?". Needless to say, the Author knew that his sister was right at least in that area.
Many of the patrons did like it when they heard the prayer of the soldier, very much approving of the showing of faith. Thanks to DJ Rodriguez, some had their faith in Christ renewed and it was welcoming to those who were with Jesus to hear prayer like this in the movie. When the part showed Ford and the rest doing the HALO jump, many of the Authors and animated characters gave the soldiers props for doing such a thing. Especially when it looked like they were descending into Hell itself. Kermit the Frog put in, "As a frog, I know when to 'leap' into certain situations. But that one just blows me away! I wonder if I have the courage to do something like that…". Some were wondering if they too had the bravery to make such a leap at 30,000 feet in the air, going through a strong storm cloud… and landing in the middle of a fight between two behemoths of legend! When they saw the brief fight between Godzilla and his opponent, some like Darkwing Duck admitted that they would have panicked if they got very close to that kind of brawl.
The camera showed Ford falling down still near a skyscraper, plummeting down a bit more before he released his parachute. The camera showed the small soldier gliding through the destroyed buildings, maneuvering to avoid getting smashed against them. In the background where Ford was landing, the male MUTO passed by, ignoring him completely. Once Lt. Brody was on the ground, he panted heavily to get his breathing back on track. He discarded his pack, taking off the goggles and throwing them away now that they had served his purpose. Once he had managed to get some of his senses back together, he looked up to see a large shadow outline of spines on a building nearby as it slowly slinked away until it was gone. Once he saw it leave, Lt. Brody took up his machine gun and rushed over to get a better view of the behemoth. He soon arrived at an intersection, and looked to his left to see the immense tail of Godzilla going by him slowly. Ford looked at vanishing monster until he heard the sound of his fellow soldiers behind him, turning his view away from the saurian and going to his comrades. Once he was there, one of the soldiers stated that he saw Team One move to the east… but that two of the team members did not make it. He finished by saying that snipers were on the rooftops now, moving into their designated positions.
One of the commanders held up a device that was beeping, saying that he was now picking up the signal of the nuclear warhead. When asked on where it was, the leader spoke that it was one klick up the hill. He ordered the team to move out, declaring that they had found the nuke and were going towards it. The camera changed to an aerial view as the music picked up once more, showing many flashlight lights in the rubble as they moved towards their target as it panned upwards to see that the other soldiers were also moving towards the missile. The camera went back to ground level, showing the soldiers rushing as fast as they could to the location of the warhead. Upon coming to some cars that had been partially demolished, the soldiers took cover behind them with one telling the other to look upwards. One of the military men peered out from the busted window of a van he was hiding behind… and saw the Chinese gates with a massive leg coming down near the entrance of it! Loud clicking sounds came forth, signaling that they were now at the nest with the female MUTO guarding over the area! The camera showed the insect monster bending her head down before shrieking loudly and raising her head up once more. The camera turned to show the face of the massive giant beast, and just past her head one could see the glowing stomach area now pulsing. It would appear that she was laying her eggs right now! The camera switched to show Ford, who was perplexed on what he was seeing at the moment. A sudden movement from behind caused him to turn and see what was behind them…
And from the shadows emerged a large, swishing tail that flew over the Chinese lanterns that were hung above the streets! Lighting flashed from the sky above, illuminating all and showing the silhouette of a familiar being! Moments later, it emerged from the darkness to show that it was Godzilla! The saurian got on all fours, snarling at the female MUTO while ignoring the human soldiers. Once he regained his height on two legs… the saurian let out a long roar that shattered the air and announced to all that the king had arrived!
Dash Parr exclaimed, "Whoo hoo! Yeah! Now this is what we've been waiting for! Go Godzilla! Go!". He wasn't the only one that was excited, as a vast majority of the patrons where cheering when they saw the legendary Toho monster appearing in a manner that some believed to be a rather dramatic entrance. Dreams and Rose were also getting into the action, the female Authors cheering loudly as they were finally going to see a worthy monster fight. Some REALLY big fans of Godzilla like DJ and Author GODZILLA1996 let out roars of their own, showing that they were with the King of the Monsters all the way.
The camera turned back to the soldiers, who were looking in awe at the King of the Monsters, then turned back to see the female MUTO shrieking loudly as she rose up to her full height to meet the challenge. She roared loudly, now ready to defend her nest and herself as she started to stomp towards her foe. She crashed through a building, which had debris fall down and forced the soldiers to take cover from it. The music picked up as the commander yelled out for his men to move out, the soldiers rushing from their hiding places to continue on to the nuclear warhead. Ford took a moment to look at the scene before him, the camera showing from his point of view as the massive mother MUTO stomped over towards the towering Godzilla! The camera went for a wide-aerial view to show the saurian going towards the insect, both roaring as they soon locked in battle! King of the Monsters vs. the Queen of the MUTO! Godzilla quickly got the advantage by swiftly grabbing the throat of his foe as he pushed on forward, soon body-slamming right on top of her due to his own momentum through a building!
The camera changed to show the soldiers rushing towards under and past the Chinese entrance/exit gate, going up a mound pile that was debris from the female MUTO digging the place up. Once they were on top of the mound, one of them told the sergeant to take a look at what they were seeing. They soon saw a deep pit, one led down to the nest. The commander asked the one holding the device if he had gotten the signal of the warhead, the soldier answering that he got it again. That it was right down into the deep pit, and already they could see soldiers down in the place where the female MUTO had made her nest. The scene changed to where the soldiers were now in the hot spot area, now in front of a door that had miraculously been left intact after the mother monster had moved various objects around to make the nest. Two soldiers burst through the door, the commander telling them to move in! Once they did… they found the missile hanging from a ceiling that looked to be made of a mucus material, with orange orbs the size of beach balls covering half of the warhead. Ford was shown to be the last to enter the scene, and the EOD specialist was looking at the missile while the others worked. He looked upwards slowly, the camera following his movement as it showed many other orange orbs rising upwards towards the ceiling. He saw that the mucus material covering the rooftop area of the place was spread out in a weblike pattern, and the orbs looked to be suckers on an octopus leg. Each orb was squeaking… showing the tiny life inside that indicated they were indeed baby MUTOs! Hundreds, if not thousands, of eggs were lined up all over the roof!
Lt. Brody saw all of these eggs, and knew that the situation was now more grim than he first realized. His attention was drawn back to his comrades, as they managed to remove the casing from the mucus-covered missile. The sergeant asked on how much time was left until detonation, the camera doing a close-up of the clock that was amazingly still going despite what happened to the missile! The soldier who examined it stated that about twenty-seven minutes were left until the warhead blew up. The commander said that they had to get the missile down, so they started to get to work.
Snow White stated, "Oh my… I can see why the mother MUTO is so serious on defending her nest. Look at all those little ones.". Indeed, the guests of the club were surprised to see both the deepness of the nest that the female MUTO made… and the babies themselves as the number of eggs looked to be plentiful around the nuclear warhead and nesting chamber. It was Baymax, the inflatable robot from Big Hero Six that analyzed and calculated that the number of MUTO in the scene would really cause damage to the planet. That if left alone and unchecked… each MUTO would most likely hit areas that had multiple nuclear missiles or waste sites. And that in turn would drive them to grow, and most likely have the EMP abilities like their parents. Mankind would actually suffer setbacks of many kind with their electronic devices being shut down due to many MUTO. Now that was a scary thought, especially for those that really relied on electronic technology for their everyday lives.
Rose looked to Owl and asked, "Do you really think Godzilla can win against the MUTOs?". The inhabitant of the Hundred-Acre Wood thought a bit on that, than answered that the saurian had a good chance… unless the male MUTO came in to aid his mate. This made the Author, and those around who heard him, look back to the film as it progressed.
The scene changed, switching from the nest back to outside where a road was shown… and multiple cars being pushed by a massive leg! It was the battle between Godzilla and the female MUTO, the massive insect being pushed back by the mighty saurian! She let out shrieks as she tried to resist, shooting out her appendages to try and halt her movements. But Godzilla's muscles were not just for show, as he continued to shove the gigantic insect between two tall buildings, the appendages scraping through concrete, glass and steel as the female MUTO desperately tried to stop herself. Soon the King of the Monsters pushed the female MUTO on her back, letting out a shriek of victory as he finally got the massive insect in a disadvantage position! The creature's head smashed through part of a building, glass raining down on all as the structure contained people inside. The insect snarled, the humans inside screaming in fear… and the camera showed that within the crowd was Elle herself! The camera switched to the sniper soldiers on a rooftop as they saw the scene before them, the female MUTO trying to rise up but Godzilla pinning her down with his foot! The saurian looked to be ready to finish off his foe… until another shriek came in, and coming in was the male MUTO to save his mate! He flew in and speared his appendages deep into Godzilla's flesh, pulling him off his mate and a distance from her with his wings!
Godzilla roared in anger and pain, trying to shake off the male insect but the smaller MUTO was stubborn as he kept skewering into his skin and moving around in a way that he couldn't get a good grip with his teeth or clawed hands. When she set herself right back up, the female shrieked and charged at the saurian! She body-checked her heavy bulk into Godzilla's side, crashing him straight through a building! The saurian rose up and roared again, but was once again caught off-guard as the male MUTO flew in from behind and stabbed into skin from behind. The mate brought her spear-like appendages down, slashing down hard on the side as the two double-teamed the King of the Monsters! The camera switched to show that down below the fight, the soldiers in action… and with them was the warhead! They had managed to get it free from the mucus cocoon, and were now gently lowering it down to the ground. Once it was on the ground, they tried to remove the covering so that Ford could work his skills on the analog. However, they found out that it was sealed shut and needed time to open it… time they did not have. One of the soldiers exclaimed, "We don't have time! Let's haul it out of here! We gotta get it on a boat!". The soldiers than lifted the warhead, and started the process of carrying the deadly, heavy nuclear weapon to the pier. Several of them lifted the missile, while the rest went ahead to clear a path for them. Ford hefted a beam up to let his comrades go under and through, then turned to see the eggs. The commander called for him to follow, the lieutenant dropping the beam and about to go out the door to follow… but he turned around to see the eggs, and realized on what would happen if the newborn did hatch. After some internal debate, a decision was made… as Ford went back to the nest!
The camera switched back to show the fight between the kaiju, and it looked like Godzilla was not doing so well now. The music was dramatic as it showed the saurian being double-teamed by the MUTO, the male keeping him off balance while his mate continued to body-check him into buildings. The soldiers that were on the rooftops nearby continued to watch as the saurian was getting beat down by the insects, Godzilla shrieking in anger and pain at being handled like this. The camera soon focused on the soldiers, as they continued to go away from the scene with the warhead in tow. The commander realized that they were missing someone, going to the edge of the nest and called out to Lt. Brody. When no answer came forth, and he didn't see him, the commander made the decision to continue on with his men. The camera switched to show Ford, the young man breaking open a gasoline storage tank that was still intact from a semi-truck he was on. Once the liquid was spraying forth and spilling down below, the lieutenant beat feet and retreated… because down below, a pool of gasoline was forming in the head of a broken Chinese dragon, and near it was a small flame! As the pool of flammable liquid continued to rise, the camera changed to show the insects still pummeling away at Godzilla than showed Ford climbing out of the nest…
And just in time as the nest was rocked by a powerful explosion! The blast was so powerful, it knocked the human high into the air where he landed back down hard on the ground! The entire place nesting ground was consumed by fire, a mushroom-like cloud of fire and smoke rising from the depths!
The animated and Author patrons had been cheering when they saw Godzilla having the advantage against the female MUTO, but the tone quickly changed when the male arrived on the scene to help out his mate. Many Disney villains/villainesses were now cheering for the insects, as even Ursula the Sea Witch exclaimed, "That's it, insects! Skewer him! Slash him! Cut that saurian down to size! Hahahahahaha!". This got some of the heroes/heroines peeved, especially Melody and Ariel who really looked like they wanted to go over and make the half-human, half-octopus witch be quiet… the painful way. When the part came on where the soldiers had to carry the missile to its new destination, many were surprised they could even lift it. Hercules commented that the soldiers must have had some real stamina and strength to heft something like that across the ground.
And when they saw Ford going back to try and take care of the baby MUTO, some of the Authors and Disney characters were actually glad he was doing that. Athos from Disney's live-action movie The Three Musketeers spoke, "I got to hand it to the boy. He certainly knows what needs to be done, and does it. He would have made a fine Musketeer.". The guests were impressed by the lieutenant's resourcefulness, as he had used the gasoline to pool up at the right spot while allowing him to get away from the area. Many Disney characters were very worried when they saw Godzilla getting beat up bad, wondering why the soldiers were not backing him up by shooting at the MUTO. Huey Duck exclaimed that he and his brothers would have shot at them, showing their support in the saurian. But when all saw the massive explosion take place, they all knew one thing was going to happen…
A certain mother was going to be ticked off!
The camera showed the female MUTO, who shrieked when she heard the explosion and turned to see the massive fireball… that was coming from her nest! She roared loudly as she stalked off away from Godzilla, her mate continuing to skewer his legs into the beast as he laid on his side. The mother rushed towards her nest, plowing through the streets and ignoring the soldiers who continued on their way to the pier. The male MUTO saw his mate was distressed, and after skewering Godzilla one last time, roared and took off after her. The cries of the massive insects filled the air as the male flew over to her, the female shrieking as she arrived and peered down… and the camera changed to show the female seeing the burnt remains of her offspring. She howled loudly, crying out for her children that were taken in an explosion of fire. The camera lowered to show Ford, the human still conscious as he saw the massive insect crying loudly. He started to crawl away, not at full strength or health due to being flung through the air earlier like a rag doll. Once he made it to a stone column, he managed to sit himself right on it… but a bit of it crumbled, making a noise that got the attention of the female. The female MUTO let out a small growl as went towards Ford, lowering her colossal head and getting closer to see the human. Her eyes glowed a fiery orange color, feeling that this strange creature must have been responsible for the deaths of her brood! She growled loudly, the camera showing Ford's face that was had blood on her nose and mouth looking terrified at the ticked-off mother… than flash of blue covered the area that got his attention!
The camera switched to show the female MUTO pulling her head back up, and behind her was Godzilla's tail… the spines glowing a brilliant electrical blue color like nothing before! The tail raised up, and a strange humming sound filled the air… as if something was being charged up! The humming sound grew louder as the glow raced from the spikes on the tail to the dorsal spines up on Godzilla's back, the saurian back on his feet and glaring at his foe. The MUTO queen shrieked and roared back at Godzilla, who in turn just inhaled deeply as his massive chest expanded… and from his maw leapt forth a blue column of fire that raced forth and struck the insect in the head and body! The music picked up as the area was now alit with Godzilla's blue flame and power, pushing the immense monster back with his Atomic Breath special move technique! The camera turned to show the soldiers who were still carrying the missile, stopping momentarily to see the event before their very eyes. One of them exclaimed, "What the hell was that?! Holy shit, did you see that?!". Godzilla took another inhale, and blasted the female MUTO into a building with his unique blue flames, forcing her to do down!
The House of Mouse establishment was once again lifted off the ground, by several feet this time actually, when they all saw Godzilla unleash his ultimate move. Many men, women, brave young ones, and more were cheering their heads off as they witnessed the saurian make a comeback! DJ actually leapt to his feet and shouted, "Yeah! Radiation Death Breath, baby! Whoo hoo!". One could not blame him, as the last American Godzilla film that featured Zilla did not breathe any radioactive fire. And the Millennium-era Toho ones had the saurian breathe a white-light kind of fire. In his view, Godzilla breathing blue flames as the real deal. Even Dreams and Rose cheered loudly, very much excited that Godzilla was back in business! Dreams Come True 996 was a bit sad that the little MUTO's had to be killed, but she knew it was necessary in order for the human race to survive.
Author SaurusRock625 put in, "Glad that Godzilla is up, but I hate to be Ford at the moment. You know how dangerous an angry mother can be? Well, that one got a good look at him and she is ticked off! I bet she'll follow him to the ends of the earth to crush him for killing her eggs.". The Author had a point, where the old saying was true: Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. Tick off a mother by incinerating her babies… that was on a whole level in of itself.
The camera showed Ford managing to get away as soon as he saw the female MUTO go down, the insect beast growling as she looked up at Godzilla who was a bit bloodied but fierce all the same. Just as the saurian was about to attack again, the male MUTO once again struck from behind, forcing him to focus on him instead of the bigger target. Godzilla roared loudly at the flying insect monster, the male MUTO landing on top of a building and jumping a bit to avoid Godzilla's reach. As the fight continued, the soldiers continued to haul the warhead as the camera panned down to show them. The military men had managed to make it to the pier, going to one of the farthest docks that had a good-sized boat on it that could carry them & their payload out to sea. Two managed to find and secure such a vessel, going inside the cabin and preparing to hotwire the ship to start her up. One of the soldiers looked up to see through the port window that Godzilla and his foe were still fighting, telling his companion to hurry up. Sparks flew as the soldier managed to re-route and hotwire the engines, bringing the ship to life! The lights turned on and an alarm sounded off… unfortunately, the alarm was loud enough to wake up a certain female monster.
The camera turned to show the downed queen, her orange eyes coming back to brilliance to show she was now awake. She let out a loud growl as she got her senses back together. Rising back up to her feet, the memory of seeing her deceased offspring caused her to howl once more in despair… and anger! She looked towards the water where she heard the alarm sound, seeing the boat… and then hauling herself towards the location with such speed it would surprise anyone! The camera showed her sprinting towards the boat, panning down to show the soldiers taking their cargo on said vessel now. Their comrades on the ship urged them to hurry up, exclaiming that she was coming for the missile. The commander told his men to secure the weapon, and also for one to release the line that held the boat to the dock. However, the female MUTO was bearing down on them fast! The scene changed to show Godzilla fighting the male insect still, the flying beast managing to secure back on the saurian's neck as he stabbed and bite down on Godzilla's skin. The behemoth roared loudly, turning around and managing to grab part of the wing membrane with his teeth. Godzilla twirled around, mouth latched tightly on the MUTO as he swung the insect around, smashing him into a couple of skyscrapers before flinging him away!
The flying insect giant managed to right itself up in mid-flight and took off once more, circling around to get behind his enemy once again. The camera showed Godzilla snarling as he focused on his prey… than started to turn around as the MUTO flew in closer! When the flying insect was in range… Godzilla executed a Tail Whip attack that smashed the male MUTO like a baseball bat would a baseball! He smashed his screeching energy into the building he was standing behind with tremendous force, it knocked part of the building away! When the dust settled, the male MUTO was shown groaning in pain… and little wonder since several steel columns were now speared completely through his upper body! The flying insect gave off one last weak growl before dying, his eyes dimming until they were out completely. Godzilla had won the battle! The saurian snarled softly as he saw his defeated foe, than bent down and looked like he was panting, out of breath even. It was not surprising as he had just endured a very tough fight against a fierce enemy. The music became dramatic when creaking was heard… and Godzilla looked up to see that the building he was next to that he used to smash the MUTO against it was coming down! The saurian let out a roar as tons of concrete, steel and windows came crashing down on the behemoth! He roared as he was forced down, crashing on the street where again humans were shown to be at… with Elle among them as all screamed or whimpered in fear.
Ortensia called out, "Godzilla! No!". She was not alone, as many were worried when they saw the mighty King of the Monsters being crushed by the skyscraper. Just moments ago, everyone was cheering as they saw Godzilla defeat the male MUTO with a tactic that really impressed them. They believed that he would rip his foe to pieces with his teeth and claws, but instead showed a kind of intelligence that again surprised them. However, the audience's joy at seeing the saurian victorious was brought to a halt when they saw him bending down & panting… just like a human would after a tough battle. And when the structure started to go down on top of him, that is when the animated and Author guests got a bit worried about the hero. While some were concerned about the soldiers from earlier as they saw the female MUTO bearing down on them, their focus was more on Godzilla.
Minnie looked to Mickey and asked, "You think Godzilla is alright? I hope he is…". The main mouse of the house answered that he was sure the saurian was okay, but most likely hurt after having to deal with both the MUTO and an entire skyscraper building falling on him. The audience continued to watch on, hoping for the best for the King of the Monsters.
The scene changed to show Lt. Brody, jogging down a deserted street so he could catch up with the others at the pier. Some dogs that were amazingly still in the city barked loudly, their cries echoing across the street. After some moments jogging, he stopped to catch his breath. He was still injured from being flung earlier by the blast. After a moment or two of rest, he felt something and looked to his right to see a massive clawed hand coming down hard on the street… it was Godzilla! The human straightened up and looked at the great monster before him, Godzilla panting slightly before turning his head to look at the human before him. Time seemed to stand still as the camera showed Ford first, who was in awe at seeing such a creature so close to him. And then on Godzilla, who regarded the human before him as someone… different. Different than the other humans who had tried to kill him in the past. He then closed his eyes as he was swallowed by the dust, soon disappearing from sight. Ford was just amazed still on what just occurred, then turned his head when he heard gunfire in the distance. The camera soon switched to show the female MUTO, who was getting very close to the boat and her target! The soldiers were firing at the MUTO Queen, who growled at being attacked which just seemed to annoy her as she stood over the boat. Ford managed to get to the scene in time to see the MUTO just use her appendage claw to swipe away at the human insects and tear a good chunk of the top boat apart!
Before the beast could get hold of the nuclear warhead, a flaming projectile struck the side of her head! It was enough to get her attention, a low growl coming from her as she looked to see who had struck her. It was mortar fire, and more started to be fired upon her! Ford turned to see that on a dock nearby, his fellow soldiers were firing both rocket-launchers and machine guns at her! Lt. Brody saw that this was his chance, limping as fast as he could to the boat as he looked on to see the female MUTO regarding the humans firing at her as annoying pests that needed to be dealt with. And so she did… but chomping down on them, dock and all! Her maw snapped the dock clean in half! More soldiers poured in to get her attention, but they were just mere distractions at best. Once Ford made it to the ship, he climbed aboard and looked at the time… which showed him he had only thirteen minutes left! He tried to get the casing off, but it was no use. It had been jammed in tight, sealed tightly by the action is has gone through. Seeing that there was no other choice, he got up and went to the controls. Finding the levers, he pulled certain ones down and activated the ship's GPS control box. He put it on Auto-Pilot, putting in the coordinates. The engines came to life, the camera showing the motors bubbling at the rear of the ship. Ford took out a spear hook and used to push the boat away from the dock as much as possible. After a huge effort, he landed on his back on the deck of the ship exhausted. He panted as he sat up near the control console… but the machines went dead as they lost power. Ford turned his head to the left to see a curved leg going into the water… and the camera zoomed out to show the immense female MUTO now standing/hovering over the small ship as her EMP effect was the reason the boat lost power.
She growled softly as she leaned down to the boat, sensing someone familiar on it. Ford was frightened, and it showed on his face as he looked at the insect who shrieked loudly at him. She recognized him, the human from before… the one she believed to be responsible for the obliteration of her brood! Lt. Brody's face soon became firm as he took out his weapon… which was a small handgun as he aimed it right at the monster. The last living MUTO opened her maw, ready chomp down on the human and reclaim the missile, getting closer and closer… until it paused when a CRUNCH sound filled the air, and she started to jerk in pain. Ford paused to see what was going on… and the MUTO growled as it was lifted up by Godzilla! The saurian had managed to survive the building from earlier coming down on top of him, and now had his maw held tightly on the back of the neck of his enemy! Godzilla grabbed her and turned her to face him, letting go briefly before using both clawed hands to grab her head and bend her upwards so that she was facing straight up! The mammoth MUTO struggled, but could not overpower him. The whirling sound from before came on, as Godzilla forced the mouth open… and he shot his flames down into the MUTO!
Madam Medusa from The Rescuers exclaimed, "Whoa! Now that is what is called a Kiss of Death!". She could barely be heard as the audience was once again cheering that Godzilla had come to the rescue once more! They had been worried when they saw the female MUTO tearing apart the soldiers on the docks, and when she had managed to shut down the engines of the boat. The patrons did admire the bravery of Ford as he decided he was going to go down with a shout rather than a whimper… and the characters came to life when they saw Godzilla biting down on the insect, and delivering a finishing blow that most likely would be talked for many years to come. Right now, a majority of the club were cheering that Godzilla had finally defeated his enemies!
Peg exclaimed, "Whoo hoo! Now that was something! Oh Petey, I really do enjoy watching monster movies like this!". While her husband was not enthusiastic about the Toho films, he did have to admit this. That this particular Godzilla really knew how to deliver, especially after burning a hole straight through the female MUTO.
The blue flames tore right through the behemoth insect queen, until her head was severed from her body! The music picked up in a dramatic, victorious tone as Godzilla let the body fall and roared loudly for the world to hear that he had done it! He had won! With the female MUTO's head in his clawed hand, he certainly looked like a conquering warrior-king! After letting out his roar, he looked down and dropped the head into the water. It was finished. At the death of the MUTO, the lights in the city started to come back on! The power was being restored, especially on the boat. Ford put his gun away, panting as he saw something that he would be telling his grandchildren for years to come. The machinery on the boat came back to life, the vessel continuing on its course. As the camera showed the sea craft going towards the busted Golden Gate Bridge, it showed that the lights all over the place were coming back on. The female MUTO's effect was indeed widespread, but now gone thanks to her death. The camera turned back to show Godzilla lifting himself out of the water, looking very much exhausted. Ford soon collapsed as he exhaled, also exhausted from all the action he has been through for the night. The camera changed to his point of view, as he was lying on his side. He saw Godzilla on land… and the monster let out a faint roar as he just fainted and crashed mightily on the ground! The camera switched to the warhead, which was still counting down… with only five minutes remaining!
Lt. Brody turned to lie on his back, feeling that he had accomplished his mission. And also hoping that his wife and son were indeed alive and safe. He looked up to see the decimated part of the bridge as the vessel passed underneath it, soon closing his eyes as to await the end. However, a bright white light caused him to squint and look up… seeing that it was a helicopter spotlight! He tried to remain conscious, but it was a struggling battle. Then he saw the face of a pilot soldier, who was talking to him but he couldn't really pay attention. The camera showed Ford being airlifted away off the ship, tucked inside a harness and reeled in towards the aircraft like a fish on a fishing pole. He was retrieved by two pilots who were on the side waiting for him, pulled into the helicopter where he was sat down. As Ford slipped into unconsciousness… he barely saw the big flash of light that occurred, followed by a mushroom shaped cloud! The nuclear warhead had detonated, and though it was far from the city area… the effects would be lingering for some time. Soon, the whole screen was bathed in white light.
Elena of Avalor had a worried look on her face as she whispered, "I hope that Godzilla and Mr. Brody are okay. And that bomb… I hope it went far away from the people…". Many in the audience had been worried when they saw Godzilla fall shortly after his victory over the female MUTO, though some like Percival C. McLeach commented that he wanted to go in and get the MUTO's head to mount it on his wall as a trophy. Even Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke from Atlantis: The Lost Empire commented that he would have loved to salvage the corpse of the MUTOs to see if they could be used for something useful & for profit. Though many were glad to see Ford being rescued from being blown up, they were also amazed by the power of the nuclear warhead when it went off in the distance. The Authors, Danny & the Disney stars and starlets knew quite well the force and power of a nuclear bomb, and one that was said to have megatons of force and power… it was truly something to be fearful about.
Sofia the First whispered, "Please be okay, Godzilla. Please, please be okay…".
The screen was white for some moments, until firefighter of sort appeared for all to see. The whiteness from earlier transisted to smoke, and the camera soon showed other firefighters coming on the scene to show to all that the area was decimated San Francisco with the storm gone and the sun out for all to see. The members were joined by other people, the camera panning up to show to reveal that they were near Godzilla as he was still out for the count! Demolished buildings littered the area near him, the camera soon going for an aerial view that had firefighters on the rooftops as they saw the head of Godzilla down amidst tons of rubble and debris. The camera changed views, showing smoke pouring from decimated building top in the distance, going down to show Godzilla's head more up close. The scene shifted from the area to another part of the city, where Godzilla was shown on the news with the report that thousands were still missing. Above the TV screen were photos of various people that were missing, and walking past them was Ford holding Sam! The soldier had managed to come to, and was now with his son as they walked towards an entrance/exit that had many people all around. It was shown that Lt. Brody was on a crutch, as he had been injured bad enough to require one. While he could still walk, he needed it to have more stability as well as mobility. They soon emerged to what appeared to be a massive stadium that was filled to capacity with survivors of the monster attack! Ford looked everywhere, finding many civil workers, doctors, nurses and more trying to help the civilians as best they could.
The scene changed back to where Godzilla was at, a firefighter demanding that everyone be quiet. It seemed that he heard voices down below, indicating that humans were alive down below! He and his fellow firefighters worked together to remove the rubble, and soon they started to pull up the survivors from the debris! The scene changed back to the stadium, where firefighters and more people started to pour in. Ford got up, hoping to see his wife Elle amongst the crowd. He did see an African-American man rush up to his family, bringing his wife and children together in a hug as all were glad to be reunited alive and in good health. The young Brody man was a bit sad that he did not see his wife, but he was thankful though to see someone having a happy ending. He stroked the hair of his son who was clinging to him, the lad also hoping to see his mother. The scene changed back to where the King of the Monsters laid at, Dr. Serizawa and Dr. Graham approaching the downed beast. The Japanese doctor had a look of awe on his face as he beheld the creature that had first appeared in 1954, the camera soon showing Godzilla's head as it was crusted over with gray dust with seagulls strangely flying about his body. The camera soon showed the face of Serizawa, as he looked firm at the creature whom he was right about. That Gojira was truly the keeper of balance on the planet.
As the humans continued to work around Godzilla… he snorted! His nostrils let out air, grunting softly as he came to! The humans all quickly hurried away from him, the camera showing the saurian's eyes slowly opening as he was waking up from his little nap! Serizawa and his student were once again amazed at the resiliency of the massive monster.
The scene changed to show Ford, taking a little nap on his son as he was tuckered out still from all that had happened. He woke up though when Sam moved, and started to run towards something in the distance. He called out to him… but stopped and stood up to see who it was. The camera shifted to show that it was Elle, who had made it! Sam called out to her, the blonde woman hearing than seeing her son, sobbing now as she started to jog more towards him. Soon, child and mother were reunited as Elle bent down and took her blessing into her arms, crying tears of happiness. Ford just stood there, still as he saw his wife and son embrace like that. Soon Elle looked up to see him, standing up as Ford walked to her… and the two hugged one another as they kissed, so glad to be together once more. The family was once again whole! The couple just held one another, just enjoying the warmth and comfort of once again being reunited.
The camera switched from them to show the crowd now cheering as they looked up at a screen that was at the stadium. The massive Jumbo-tron that would show the plays of sports… was now showing the footage of Godzilla, back on his feet and walking amidst the city! The news report down below showed the words: KING OF THE MONSTERS- SAVIOR OF OUR CITY? It appeared that the people considered the saurian their savior, as many whistled and cheered for him! The music started to pick up dramatically as the camera switched to show the massive monster plodding through the decimated streets of the city. He did not care for the surrounding buildings, nor cared for the people that around him. He was tired, showing it to all as he hunched down a little bit as he walked towards the ocean. His duty was done, his natural enemies were gone… thus there was no reason to stay on land anymore. The camera soon changed once more to show the back of the mighty Godzilla, all the people gazing in awe at the King of the Monsters. Dr. Graham was very much surprised at seeing this… but Serizawa, the Japanese doctor… he sported a small smile on his face, seeing that truly Gojira was much more than a mere beast. Much more than others thought!
The camera changed back to Godzilla, who let out his famous roar for all to hear as the music reached its dramatic crescendo! He announced to all that he was Godzilla- the King of the Monsters and the Keeper of Balance for the planet Earth! He soon waded into the waters, shortly after going to a certain distance he fell on his belly to make the rest of the journey in his usual way. The onlookers at certain scenic spots around the bay witnessed the behemoth splashing down, slowly submerging until only his dorsal spines were showing. Than as he continued to make his way deeper into the water and out to the open sea, the dorsal spines submerged… and he was gone.
The House of Mouse was really jumping now, literally! The cheers from the audience was enough to lift the establishment up, and sound off a 3.5 on the Richter Scale! The moment that the scene came that Godzilla was shown on the Jumbo-tron screen in the stadium, everyone was cheering and clapping! And it increased in intensity when they saw the King of the Monsters walking away like the warrior-king that was portrayed as! Dreams shouted all that surprised even Danny, "WHOO HOO! YES! Of course Godzilla is the savior of the city! He took down those MUTOs and showed he is not a mindless beast of destruction! Yeah! This was great!". Mr. Fenton had to smile at that, loving the enthusiasm his lady was showing at the moment.
She was not alone, as a vast majority of the characters were agreeing with her on that statement. Even Rose grinned and exclaimed, "And that is why he is the Keeper of Balance, because he is much more than meets the eye! Whoo! Go Godzilla!". Ariel, Melody and the other Disney ladies who had bonded with the Heisei-era Toho Godzilla agreed with her there, as they felt Godzilla was also not just a keeper of balance but a guardian of the entire planet! An unorthodox guardian yes, but one still the same.
When the lights came back on, and the credits were rolling for all to see, Mickey Mouse came back on stage and called out, "Well everyone, how did you like the show?". His response was a rousing cheer that once again shook the establishment! Thankfully, all was reinforced greatly to withstand this kind of enthusiasm. He chuckled, remarking that the night was a success. He went over to Danny and Dreams first, asking on how they liked their first night at the club, especially their first Disney/Toho Night.
Mr. Fenton answered, "It was great! Seeing the legendary characters, seeing an awesome monster movie featuring Godzilla was incredible! But it was more worthwhile with Dreams here by my side.". This made said young lady blush a brilliant red, with many of the Disney couples clapping for the two.
Dreams shyly answered in her own words, "It was just amazing, Mr. Mickey! Seeing all of the Disney characters I grew up watching is incredible, getting more into the Toho universe is also very nice! But what made this date and night more worthwhile was that this gentleman was by my side the whole time. So yes… I loved the show and I loved Disney/Toho Movie Night!". She and Danny embraced, causing more cheers to rise up as a majority of the patrons were glad to see such love & that they both enjoyed the time at the dinner theater club.
Mickey laughed good-naturedly at receiving an answer like that, then went to Rose and asked, "So Miss Spooks, how did you like the club?".
The young Author answered as she put an arm around Winnie the Pooh, "It was great! Everything was so good; the food, the drinks, the movie… and especially the company! Being in the House of Mouse was great, and I really want to come here again soon! Especially when its Disney/Toho Night there!". She pulled Winnie in for a hug, the loveable bear of fluff chuckling before returning the hug. The audience cheered once more for the newest patron to the club, and a new friend!
Mickey smiled and walked back on the stage, looking up to check the clock which now read 10:10 p.m., close to closing time which was 11:00 p.m. He announced, "Okay everyone! Now that the main event is over, the ones from the Kids Room will be brought back here momentarily. And after that, enjoy some classic and modern Disney cartoon shorts until the final minutes of the club!". Everyone cheered loudly, especially the new guests who wanted to get to know more of the stars & starlets around the place.
It seemed that the House of Mouse had yet another successful Disney/Toho night for all to enjoy!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! Whew… and I mean that very much! What a long chapter to write! And despite some delays, some personal and some health-wise… I managed to get this done! Whoo! Of course, I had a lot of help from the One Above.
I wish to give praise and thanks to God for helping me with this chapter. Thank you Lord for being with me all this time! Thank you Jesus for seeing me through, for guiding me and also helping me when I called for it. I continued to pray to you, and hope that you continue to guide me, my family, my friends and also those that really need you. Thank you God for everything!
I really hope you all enjoyed this as I had writing it, and again I hope to get my imagination & writing spirit back up full like before. I really do not want to waste the gifts that Jesus Christ has given me, nor do I want to waste any opportunity that He presents to me to improve and grow. And I hope that one day soon, my Monsters and Magic novels and specials will be able to become something more. Graphic novels, comics, TV specials… but for me, it would be wonderful for them to be full-fledged Disney full-length films! The kind that were awesome back than in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000's.
If any of you can assist me in any way possible to get my novels and specials more recognized, advertised in some way that will really help them, I would appreciate it.
Ahem! Now for the questions! I am restricting the questions to eight, but with an optional bonus question if you wish to answer it! Now…
How would you aid Minnie in keeping all the pictures on the Wall of Authors and Animations, but also freeing up space on the walls in the dinner theater club?
How would you welcome the latest members to the club; Dreams Come True 996, Rose Spooks and Danny Fenton?
What would your thoughts be if you were inside the skeleton that Dr. Serizawa and Dr. Graham found on the Philippine Island? What would you like to do with said skeleton?
If you were among the people on Hawaii that saw Godzilla first come in to fight the male MUTO, what would your reaction be?
If you were standing beside Serizawa after he said the words to Stenz to let the monsters fight, what would you say after that?
During the intermission, what would you be doing?
If you were in Ford's place and Godzilla stared at you, what would you say or do?
And finally… if you were among the people that saw Godzilla walking back to the sea after he had awakened, would you say or do?
And here is the bonus question! Answer it if you want to. Here it is: With so many Disney Ladies, and also so many Toho monsters from ALL the eras, here is the question- Which Toho kaiju from any of the eras would be the best bonded partner to which Disney lady? And why do you think that is so? Name and pair as many monsters with the ladies as you see fit. The more, the better!
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!
And one more thing I really LOVE to say when December comes around, and I am not ashamed to say it loud and proud! Here it is… MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!)
