Curse of the Unbelievable.
Chapter One: A Moment of Peace.
Monster Island: Three months after the battle with Destoroyah.
Angurius looked up at the glowing eyes of Godzilla Junior, and awaited his fate as the Ex-King of the Monsters prepared to fire off his atomic ray. He could feel the warmth as the ray burned a hole in the sand near him, and once it stopped, he looked up at Junior, who had a grim expression on his face. "You know," Angurius chuckled, "I sincerely doubt that The Master will offer you the same amount of mercy you've shown me. Plus, you hesitated, and he who hesitates is…."
"I only hesitated so I wouldn't hurt you Angurius," Junior explained as he got off of the dinosaur, before helping him up, "If I had been just a little off…."
"Okay, have it your way. I hope that you remember that if you are facing Ghidorah or any other minion of The Master," Angurius snorted, "That you go for the head, and don't hesitate!" Junior looked a little hurt at this, even knowing that Angurius was completely correct. He looked around at Monster Island, itself not changed very much in the months that had passed after he had avenged his father. At one time or another, he had considered the island to be a safe space for him to live, and in many ways, it still was. However, after the battle with Destoroyah, he had changed inside. Junior always thought that if he had the chance to go after the creature who murdered his father and him, he would've found it cathartic and satisfying to destroy It, and initially he felt satisfied with Destoroyah's demise. After a while though, Junior slowly realized that, he still felt the same sadness he had experienced after his father's death, and that killing Destoroyah had been for nothing. Yes, It was gone, but his father was still gone as well, and there was nothing he could do to bring him back. And after learning about the Master from Anguirius and Mothra… Junior realized that the peaceful life he so desired, most likely would never come. And Monster Island, didn't feel as safe as it did before.
"I'm ready for a second round, what about you?" Junior asked his friend, who got into a fighting position, ready to spar once again. As the two kaiju charged each other, and began to push against the other, a third party came out of the undergrowth, to watch them fight. Leo watched, desperately wanting to join them, but he was also content to simply watch them. The larva looked on as he saw Junior's tail begin to wave in front of him, causing him to blush. Over the past few months as Leo spent more time with his friends, his feelings for Junior had only grown more and more, especially as he got to know him personally. Junior was unaware of the young moth's attraction to him, and Leo wanted to keep it that way. However, seeing the tail made Leo very curious on to what would happen if he gave it a nibble.
"It's now or nothing," Leo whispered, as he opened his mouth, waiting for the tail to get ever so closer.
"C'mon Anguirus, I know you could do better than thAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"You have something on your tail Junior, I think you should get it checked it out," Angurius laughed, as Junior turned around and moved his tail, to see Leo hanging of the end of it.
"Leo, what the hell are you doing?"
"Mmmph mmmph mmmph."
"Going for the tail? Are you sure that it's a good tactic?"
"Mmm hmm."
"Alright Leo it's time to let go," Junior smiled, as he put his tail on the ground gently enough so that the larva could get off the tail safely, "If you wanted to spend time with me, why didn't you say anything?"
"Angurius was so loud," Leo looked down, embarrassed in front of Junior, "I don't think my voice would've carried over his grunts and roars."
"Oh C'MON! I wasn't that loud! Right?"
"Anguirus," a calm teasing voice came from behind him, "Even I could hear you all the way from the island." Mothra landed next to Angurius, looking up at Junior and Leo before she addressed them all. "So, I see that you and Angurius have been training vigorously, at least until Leo bit your tail. You know I did that to your father when I battled him, and all that got me was being tossed across the ocean."
"COME ON! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!?" Godzilla roared as he sent Battra flying away, while Mothra swam behind his back, trying to find the best way to get his attention away from the humans. "NOW TO DEAL WITH THAT OTHER BRAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Godzilla screamed as Mothra latched onto his tail, her mouth drawing blood from the King of the Monsters.
"Mom, I wanted to see what would happen" Leo whined, looking up at her with an innocent look in his eyes. He could tell that she seemed to be unaware of his attraction to Junior, and he wanted to keep it that way.
"Oh Leo," Mothra chucked as she nuzzled her son, "You're lucky you're mine, and speaking of training, I and Angurius need to do some training of our own. Is it okay if I leave you here with Junior? I know you like spending time with him."
"I'll watch over him," Junior answered, after Leo nodded vigorously, "And don't worry, I'll make sure he stays out of trouble. You gonna be fine Angurius? You are going up against an all mighty goddess."
"You know me, I never back down from a fight," Angurius snorted, while Mothra giggled softly, "And I won the last round, just so you know, thanks to a little assist," he gestured at Leo, who hid behind Junior's leg. "Me and Mothra should be a while, and hey, if this contributes to a victory against The Master in the end, and also helps me achieve my first victory in a fight, then I could safely say it was worth it."
"All right, see you later Gurius," Junior waved as he and Mothra headed off to another part of the island, with Angurius smiling in response. As they both disappeared, to do some private training of their own, Junior turned to Leo, and asked him, "So, what do you want to do?"
"Oh, well, I-I-I don't know" Leo answered, looking nervous when he saw Junior staring at him, taken aback by his beautiful eyes. "Is-is-is it okay if we just talk? I don't really want to fight right now."
"Of course," Junior smiled warmly, hoping to take his mind off from the sadness he was still feeling. He sat down to so that Leo wouldn't have to raise himself up constantly, and so that he could talk with Leo face to face.
"Junior," Leo asked curiously, "Do you remember your mother? All I've heard you talk about is your father, but you had to come from somewhere. Is it okay if I ask you this?"
"Oh," Junior muttered as Leo looked on, worried that he had accidently caused him to relieve a bad memory. After a long silence, with Junior staring wistfully at the afternoon sky, he answered the larva, "My father never talked about her very much, and it wasn't until later that I learned that she died protecting me from a monstrous beast called The Giant Claw. I also learned that she and my father stopped loving each other, meaning that even if everything went well and I hatched when I was supposed to, I don't think I would've been happy. She may have lain my egg and died for me, but I don't think I could ever call her mother, especially since I never knew her. No, my mother was a human."
"A human?!"
"Yes, she raised me when I hatched, but when my father found me, I had to leave her behind, because as much as I loved her, I don't belong in the human world just as much as she doesn't belong in this world," Junior continued, as tears started to fall from his eyes. "I still miss her every day, even though I think she may have moved on by now. It makes sense, don't you think?"
"I-I-I-I," Leo stammered, not sure how to address his friend. Junior wiped his eyes, and his face went stoic once again, before he asked the larva something.
"Do you ever wish you had a father?"
"No," Leo lied, knowing that deep down he could tell his mom was troubled and may have wanted companionship at one point, "I'm fine with you, Angurius, and my mom. Have you ever…... fallen in love with someone, but you were afraid to tell them?" Leo blushed as he saw Junior looking at him, with his eyes widened, and his mouth hanging open. A few minutes passed, before Junior closed his mouth, and thought of what he wanted to say.
"Well….. I mean….. no," he softly said, "Me and my dad, we were the only ones left of our species, and after I'm gone, we'll be extinct. So, I never met someone I've been in love with, but I hope one day I can meet him no matter what tribe he is from, or even if we can have children together." Upon hearing this, Leo crawled nearer to Junior, nuzzling him gently and hoping that one day he had enough courage to confess, like Junior was willing to do. At least, until Junior asked him something else, "So, how come you haven't used your silk shot recently Leo? Are you not feeling well?" Leo looked shocked, and backed away just a little bit, before he turned to a boulder.
"Junior, if I show you this, please don't tell my mom. I don't want her to know."
"Sure, but why?"
"Watch," the larva gestured, as out of his mouth shot a long whip like stream of silk, which covered the boulder and frosted it in white. As soon as Leo stopped firing the silk, it began to surge with blue energy, and the boulder crumbled to pieces, while the silk still surged with energy. Junior gasped in shock, while Leo turned around and looked at him with his whole body shaking, and fear in his eyes. "It-it-it happened after you went off to fight Destoroyah and save Neo. I-I-I c-c-cut m-m-myself on o-o-one of his crystals, and then I ran into a Kamacuras, and when it attacked, I fired off my s-s-silk to disable it…and….and…and…oh god! I KILLED IT! It died in agony, and I was hoping that my silk would go back to normal, BUT IT HASN'T! I'M A MURDERER! AND I'M WORRIED THAT THE CRYSTAL WILL TURN ME INTO A MONSTER!"
"Leo! Listen to me," Junior hugged the larva, who sobbed into his friend's chest "You will never become a monster. Do you understand me? Yes, you might have been altered by the crystal's energies, but it won't change who you are inside, unless you give into the fear of what you think you may become. Please, listen to me Leo, even if The Master were to come here himself and try to corrupt you, I believe that you will always still be the Leo we all know. No matter how much you lose yourself. You. Are. Leo. And nobody, nobody can change that. I won't tell your mother, but when you feel ready, let her know. She will still love you, no matter what happens to you."
The larva dug deeper into Junior's chest, before he silently whispered, "….I am Leo…. And nobody can change that…..nobody…" He could feel Junior start to smile once again, and soon enough, he could feel his fear slipping away, and a thought entered his head, "…..I love you Junior….I hope you know that."
The Son of Mothra, and the Son of Godzilla stood underneath the setting sun, as they truly felt there were no more secrets between them.
Monster Island: Mothra's cave.
Inside the cave, Mothra gazed upon Angurius, who got into a fighting position, ready to take her on in a sparring match. "Don't hold back on me, okay? I want you to fight at your fullest," Angurius growled, his eyes narrowing to see her better.
"Very well. But be forewarned, now you face the power of the Guardian of Earth!"
And with that statement, Mothra divebombed towards Angurius, who charged towards her and jumped in the air with his claws outstretched. He latched onto Mothra and the two flew through the air in some sort of aerial dance, with Angurius attempting to slash her with his claws, and Prism Beams narrowly missing his head. Mothra then flew even faster and forced Angurius's face into the side of the cavern and dragged him across, causing his limbs and tail to flail wildly around while his face was being grinded down.
"Had enough?" Mothra cockily asked, her eyes narrowing in amusement.
"Oh please, I can do this all day," he muttered, with a plan formulating in his mind on how to escape.
Anguirus dug his feet into the wall, and managed to knock Mothra aside, before he swung his tail at her and slammed her into the ground. Kicking off from the wall, he rolled up into a ball and slammed into the Guardian of Earth. Or he would've were it not for Mothra conjuring a mystic sigil, which blasted Angurius with a beam of light and sent the dinosaur slamming into a wall. The Shobijin, who were watching the battle, flew down to Mothra and attempted to transfer power to her. She refused and got up on her own, before walking over to Angurius with glowing antennae. He was lying on his back when she approached, and a soon as he felt her feet get on his belly, he only said one thing.
"Got you."
Rolling over he pinned her down while laughing wildly in her face as she attempted to struggle free. Then suddenly Mothra laughed loudly as Angurius raised his brow attempting to figure out what she was laughing about.
"What's so funny? I've pinned you down."
"…Got you…..."
With surprising strength, she tossed him over onto his back, and whipping out her stinger, Mothra pointed it into his face, and only said, "Yield."
"…...Good match there, for a second I thought you were fed up with me and trying to really kill me."
"No, you may be annoying sometimes, but you are no threat to the earth, unlike Ghidorah and The Master."
"Oh, I see how it is," Angurius snarked as Mothra got off him, while the Shobijin cheered, except for Belvera who gave him a death glare, "So are you implying that if I decided to attack the Earth, I wouldn't get far? Well, I didn't know you thought of me that way." Noticing Belvera's glare, Angurius walked over, and held out his claw in an attempt to pet her and give her a scratch. She hissed and flew under Mothra, her red eyes being the only thing visible to Angurius. "Jeez, what's her problem? I was just trying to be nice," Angurius groaned.
"Belvera… used to be with my brother Battra," Mothra explained, as Belvera upon hearing the name, started scratching the ground before she flew off to be with Moll and Lora, "Shobijin by their nature always serve the Divine Moth they bond with, and will always work to serve their bidding, even giving their lives in the line of duty. Moll, Lora, and Belvera here are all that's left of them, ever since Ghidorah's attack wiped out my tribe and Mothra Gaia. She loved Battra so much, that when he died, she was willing to go down with him. But he wouldn't have it, and he transferred his bond over to me. She's still getting used to having a bond with me, and I apologize if she's been rude to you."
Thinking back to a moment where the little moth had encountered Junior, and seeing how she had violently attacked him, Angurius responded, "Well, it's not me she needs to get used to you know."
"He resembles his father so much, but he is so different," Mothra sighed as she put her head down, "I wish Godzilla and I could've been friends, because I saw how he changed for Junior. I knew there was good in him, but it came about too late." Angruius put his front claw around her, before Mothra continued, "Angurius, I'm sorry if this is too personal, but do you think your father had any good in him?"
Angurius sighed deeply as his mouth grimaced, before he snarled, "Bōryu? He was always a piece of shit, ever since I hatched from my goddamn egg!" Angurius began to punch a wall as a long-buried memory surfaced, one that he had tried to forget.
"LET ME GO! PLEASE DADDY!"
"Weakling. It's about damn time I did this you little bastard," Bōryu grinned as he dangled the squirming Angurius over the cliff, "You aren't worthy of being an Angilas Tribe member, and you aren't worthy of being my son. Now why don't you do something right, and die?" Before Bōryu could make good on his threat, a roar came from behind, and Angurius squirmed out of his father's grasp, and ran over to where it came from.
"What. Are. You. Doing?!" Baragurius's eyes were burning with rage at the sight of his grandson in such peril, while Bōryu glared back at him with his one good eye. Angurius started to cry in fear as Bōryu charged towards them, while Baragurius charged towards his son, and father and son battled for the fate of the youngest member of their tribe.
"He tried to kill me after a long while, as if the mental and physical abuse wasn't enough," Angruius muttered as he looked at the blood on his claws, "If it wasn't for my grandpa, I would've been lying in the bottom of the sea by now. I wouldn't even be surprised if he was working for The Master now, or if he's fucking dead and lying in a ditch somewhere. Junior's dad, truly loved him, and I wish he was my dad instead of what I got. It hurts when I don't win a serious fight, because that tells me he was right, and I will always be weak. I'm sorry Mothra, but he was nothing like Godzilla." Mothra walked over to the dinosaur, and began to gently nuzzle him to help calm him down, and causing a small smile to break out on his face.
"You know, Leo looks up to both you and Junior, so I think that Bōryu was wrong and that you are not weak," Mothra reassured him as she continued to nuzzle him, "and you will win a fight one day, I can feel it."
His heart pumped faster and faster as he felt her warmth and kindness flow through him, and what happened next came out of nowhere, "…. I love you…."
"What!?"
"I-I-I," Angurius stammered, "I m-m-mean as a friend of course, t-th-that's all, intertribal relationships a-a-after all were l-l-looked down upon and…"
"Oh, I mean yes, it's good to love your friends," Mothra blushed, "I can tell Leo has a crush on Junior though, despite how much he tries to hide it."
"WHAT!?"
All was well for the Guardian of Earth and the Last Member of the Angilas tribe, despite the embarrassment both felt.
The Moon.
"HM HM HM HM HM HM HA HA HA HA, you seem to be getting exhausted Neo," Baltan Seijin chuckled as he watched wave after wave of Darklops, humanoid machines with a singular red visor, explode at the hands of his opponent, "perhaps in your exhausted state, you will be more willing to join Kaiser Belial's empire. Grifforzer, finish him off if he doesn't comply." Baltan was also a humanoid alien, but with a strangely shaped head with two yellow compound eyes and no visible mouth, and two huge claws that could fire out energy blasts.
"Anything for Kaiser Belial," growled a massive humanoid lion like creature with black fur and feathered wings, clad head to toe in golden armor. Neo swung his arm blades, slicing through the Darklops like they were butter and used his corona beam to blow up any more that got close as Baltan jumped up and down in a blind rage while firing energy blasts out of his claws, which Neo simply reflected with his geometric shield. Baltan was eventually hit with one of his own blasts and was sent flying into a wall of the crater, knocking the alien down.
"I've almost beat them mom," Neo thought as he saw Grifforzer jump into the battle with a long golden hilted broadsword, "Damn it! I don't know if I can beat him."
"I believe in you my dear boy," Biollante encouraged Neo as he started clashing his arm blades with Grifforzer's sword, getting cut several times as the griffon drew blood, "But don't forget, your greatest weapon is your mind." At this, Neo quickly retracted his arm blades taking Grifforzer by surprise. He then switched up tactics by summoning crystals which he tossed at the griffon, who easily dodged and cut them apart with his sword. He had failed to notice that Neo had covered his fists with a crystal covering, and one punch shattered his helmet into pieces. Grifforzer quickly recovered as his red eyes started surging with energy, while Neo used telekinesis to blast away several Darklops that charged at him.
"I'LL TEACH YOU FOR MESSING WITH THE MIGHTY GRIFFORZER!"
"Pride cometh before the fall."
Neo's tail grabbed Grifforzer's head, as the griffon fired two energy blasts out of his eyes and he flew upwards with him, before dragging him across the ground and then firing a corona beam which Griffonrzer attempted to block with his sword. Instead, the sword was blasted into pieces, and with one powered up crystal punch, Neo shattered his chest armor and sent him flying into the recovering Baltan. "Like I said," Neo growled as his eyes turned red, his crest started glowing, and lightning surged around him, "I have no intention of joining your Empire, so I will show you something that will keep you away for good!" At a surprising speed, Neo flew towards the aliens with his hands outstretched, his crest glowing ever so brighter.
"Griffonrzer! Protect-"
"I WON'T LET YOU-"
"Too late," Neo smiled as he put his hands on their foreheads, and forced the two aliens to see images of The Master himself. Baltan's eyes widened at the sound of his voice, while Griffonrzer stopped struggling, now knowing that Kaiser Belial was not the most powerful being in the universe. The two aliens broke free to preserve their waning sanity from the sound of The Master, and quickly retreated into the night sky, leaving Neo alone in the crater. Noticing the Earth, he sat down to look at it once more before he made his next decision. It felt like yesterday when he had left the Earth, and it was only now that he realized just how beautiful the planet looked. He had never really paid much attention to it during the times he had flown to it, but looking at it now, he began to admire the blue ocean that covered most of the planet with its cool sea water, the green vegetation that unfortunately seemed to be disappearing as more and more humans came around, and even how it looked at night, which reminded him of his home among the stars.
It didn't feel like a home anymore however, as he had lost interest in exploring the stars, and it seemed to be boring now.
Neo sighed, knowing that sooner or later, he would have to make the decision to return to the Earth, while not knowing how he would be received. He had lost sleep over this decision, mulling it over many times in his head and pondering the consequences. He knew that he would encounter The Master again, and that this time, The Master would not try to recruit him to his side. And that, he would have to meet up with his brother again, the young innocent monster he had unjustly attacked as a child. "I wouldn't be surprised if he hates me, and refuses to forgive me now," Neo thought, closing his eyes and putting his head in his hands, "I won't bother asking for his forgiveness, because I don't deserve it. At the very least, I will offer my help to him in taking down The Master. Mothra on the other hand…. I won't let her down. I want to prove to her that I can make the most of my second chance." He opened his eyes once again, and laid on his back, thinking of what he would do once he was on Earth. Neo sighed, knowing that his second chance would take him on a hard path, and that he might need others in case he once again spiraled down. He felt his hand shaking, which he stopped by grabbing on to it. This was something else that had started in the past few months, and he could not figure out why.
The Bastard Son of Godzilla tried to sleep, but found he couldn't. Like many nights past.
Skull Island.
Kong sighed in relief as he watched the meteor shower from the safety of his cave, after a long day of battle. More and more of those Shadow Demons kept appearing every day, and Kong was really getting annoyed with the fact that he could not find the one behind this.
Godzilla, The King of the Monsters.
"I've searched this entire damn island," Kong muttered as he watched the stars fly through the sky like fireflies, "And that son of a bitch hasn't shown his sorry hide. Does it matter anyway? Ahh who am I kidding? This entire place is going under soon, and me with it." The ape looked back at the cave paintings, and thought back to a happier memory, one that would soon be lost with the destruction of his home.
"Mom, Dad, c'mon wake up I want to go outside," whined Kong who was pulling on his dad's arm, "Please please please please!?"
"In a minute, you know your father and I just barely fought off Skullcrawlers last night," Kong's mother huffed, before she rolled over and fell asleep again. Her mate woke up and carried Kong outside by his scruff, before gently putting him down.
"You know," his dad said putting his hands around Kong's shoulders, "Mom and I had a talk last night, and since you've grown a lot this year, we've decided that it will be okay for you to explore the island on your own now."
Kong's eyes lit up and a big smile broke across his face as he asked once again to hear it, "Really!? I can?! Oh, Thank you Mom! Thank you, Dad!" The young ape quickly scampered down the mountain as his mother came out and only told him one more thing.
"Stay out of trouble, okay? Otherwise we'll ground you."
Kong wondered if they had known that Skull Island was slowly being destroyed, or if the Skullcrawlers they had fought had really been Shadow Demons, and they lied to their only child to keep him happy. Regardless, Kong knew that he would soon face his destiny, and that he would have to battle the King of the Monsters. "Maybe if I kick that guy's ass," Kong thought, rubbing his chin with his finger, "Then maybe I can save Skull Island, and then, maybe the humans and wildlife will come back. This is my home, and I want to save it. If I have to do it by fighting a so-called King of the Monsters, then so be it." He never noticed Varan behind him him, smiling at what The Master was planning for the King of Skull Island, and how in the next few days, everything would change.
This simple peace would soon be shattered by a Clash of Kings.

Anyways, Thank you once again for reading my fic, and I'm glad you all enjoy it and don't be afraid to leave reviews.
Keep circulating the Links.
See you later.
