Curse of the Unbelievable
Chapter Two: Of Dreams and Nightmares.
Monster Island: Near the Underwater Cave.
"Eeesh! And I thought you guys were loud below ground," Ebirah groaned as he covered his head with his large and small claws as he heard Junior roar in pain, "What the heck are you doing?"
"It's called training you big red freak," Junior snorted, his nostrils causing some sand to blow around him. He got back up as Mothra flew around for another volley of prism beams, to which Junior grabbed Angurius by the tail and used him as a wrecking ball to knock the Guardian of Earth out of the sky. "We're trying to get ready in case The Master returns full force and attacks our home, which by the way also happens to be your home. Why don't you train with us? I'm sure you have powers to aid us." As he said this, Mothra quickly recovered midair, and landed gently on the rock, noticing the crustacean looking at the group.
"He's right you know. Listen, if you are nervous or scared, then I can assure you that as Guardian of Earth, you have my protection, and my son's."
"SCARED?! ME?!" Ebirah laughed while he waved his claws around, causing Junior, Mothra, Angurius, and Leo along with several Kamacurai that came to watch the battle to look at the crustacean with narrowed eyes and side glances, "No No No, nothing scares me, I mean, well you see, It's funny you should…. HEY LOOK AT THAT!" When all turned their heads to see what Ebirah was pointing at, he quickly jumped into the water, and swam back into his cave.
"He's never going to join us you know." Angurius walked over to Junior and continued the conversation from there. "No matter how much you or Mothra talk to him, he still gonna chicken out and hide. I think the only way he would ever consider joining us, would be if his precious horde was threatened."
"Angurius," Mothra told the dinosaur who had a cheeky grin on his face upon realizing what he said, "Don't you dare…."
"Oh, come on, I won't sink that low just yet…... Give me some time okay?" Angurius then walked away, and signaled that he was done with training for the day. Junior then turned to Mothra, as Leo followed Angurius into the jungle, asking him what exactly he was going to do with Ebirah's horde. Sensing his unease, Mothra decided to speak first to Junior, in order to break the awkwardness between them apart, while Moll and Lora looked on, and Belvera flew off to sulk somewhere, and remember the happy times with Battra.
"Junior, are you feeling fine? I couldn't help but notice that as of late, you seem to be lost in thought about something, something that you think about every day."
"Fine?" Junior raised one of his hands to his face, and closed his eyes, sighing deeply. "I guess you saw right through me, right? To tell you the truth, I've not felt right after the battle with the destroyer."
"Junior, tell me what you feel. I think I can help you. If it's what I think it is,
"After the first few days, I was completely satisfied with Its death," Junior said as he bent down and looked at his reflection in the water, "But after a while…. I felt nothing… Nothing at all, but that same sense of loneliness that I felt when…when…." Junior suddenly punched his reflection and watched as the water rippled outward. "I killed it, but I still feel nothing! MY FATHER IS STILL GONE! IT DIDN'T DO A DAMN THING!" He started to sob as he stood back up, causing Mothra to wrap her wings around him in an attempt to comfort the young monster. "Why? Why do I still feel this way? I thought that killing It would make me feel better, but it hasn't…."
"Because, what you feel can't just be cured overnight. Junior, you've been carrying this for a long time, but before you met Angurius, me, or Leo, it's had time and time to grow. It will take time for you to no longer feel this way, and the best way to do that is by…...having others to help you with your… sadness. Believe me when I tell you that I know what you are going through right now. I still miss my brother every day, and if it weren't for Moll, Lora, and Belvera, I don't know if I would've fully recovered." She felt his arms wrap around her body as he sobbed into her chest, her antennae glowing as she felt the same sorrow he did, and the pain of losing a loved one. She could feel that despite Junior looking like an adult in physical appearance and in his mind, deep down, he was still a scared child, who had no one to guide him anymore. After a while, Junior let her go, and looked at her, with his eyes still red from his tears.
"Do you want to know the worst part of this? I feel like The Master will start to attack us physiologically. There is a reason he chose to revive and empower Destoroyah, and I think that he and It made some sort of deal, that It would get to kill me, as long as It did whatever he wanted It to do. And who's to say, that others from our past may make deals with The Master?" Junior couldn't stomach the thought of his father being turned into a servant of evil, all because he wanted to see his son again, and clenched his fist in anger.
"Ghidorah," Mothra muttered under her breath, and at the same time wondering if her brother would come back as well. Neither had noticed that Angurius was watching them from the trees, over hearing what they were saying. His blood ran cold, as he imagined waking up one night, and seeing Bōryu back from the dead, and ready to finish what he started. He walked up to both Mothra and Junior, who looked at him, knowing he had heard them.
"Let's not kid ourselves, what do we know exactly about The Master?" Angurius stood up on his hind legs, making sure that his voice could be heard.
"I know that he has the ability to empower," Junior spoke up, "As the destroyer was much bigger than I last remember It, along with demonstrating new abilities It never had."
"He has telepathic abilities and dreamwalking, as I saw him in my vison," Mothra added on, while the Shobijin fluttered around her, and confirmed what she said, "meaning that any of us could encounter him in our sleep. I don't know for sure if he can affect us physically while we dream, but it's something that I don't want to test." Her antennae glowing gold, a light came around the group as a mystic sigil spread all throughout the island, illuminated it and creating a lightshow that could be seen from space. The sigil disappeared after a few seconds, and the glowing light faded away, leaving a few surprised Kamacurai looking around, Ebirah retreating further into his horde, and Leo wondering what his mother did. "In theory, this sigil should be able to detect anyone who is in allegiance with The Master, and keep them out in case they come directly to our home to attack us. It is designed to probe their mind, and find traces of his voice and determine if they are working for him."
"And if it doesn't work?" Junior crossed his arms, knowing exactly what Mothra was going to say.
"Then…. for all we know, he might lead a full assault. And then… the Earth will be his."
"But we stumbled upon him by accident didn't we Junior?" Angurius looked at his friend, hoping for a response, while Mothra was lost in her own thoughts. "The destroyer betrayed The Master, and was coming here to kill you."
"Gurius, Mothra…. I've put you all in his crosshairs…..." Junior buried his face in his hands, "I guess that means…. the peace we all want isn't going to happen, not for a long time. Not until we kill him. And I don't know if we can even do that…"
"Well, I won't go down without a fight," Angurius huffed as the thought of pulverizing The Master ran through his mind, "What about you Junior? What will you do?"
"I don't plan to either. And what about you Mothra?"
"By the blood of the Earth, and for Leo's sake, only death can stop me!"
It was settled then. Mothra, Godzilla Junior, and Angurius stood in a circle, vowing to never give up in their quest to destroy The Master, and to protect the Earth from him.
No matter the cost.
Mothra's Cave.
"BUT MOM! I want to help you guys!" Leo was not happy when he learned exactly what the trio had been talking about, especially as they told him after the fact.
"Leo, no. You are still young and you haven't fully grown left. What Junior, Angurius, and I will do is going to be extremely dangerous, and the last thing I want is for you to get involved in a war that you have no part in. Now I want you to go with Junior for the time being, because right now, Angurius and I are going to try something that may be dangerous. Do you understand me?" Mothra looked at her son, who looked down before he nodded, and turned around to leave with Junior, whose eyes were narrowed. Angurius was sitting down in front of her, while the Shobijin stood around the burnt inscription Mothra had made in the ground, as the Guardian of Earth started a conversation with the Last Angilas Tribe member.
"So… before you do whatever it is you are doing, I have a question to ask you."
"Oh. What is it Angurius?"
"What's your name? I don't mean Mothra, but if Gigamoth was known as Mothra Gaia, then your name can't simply be Mothra, right?"
"That's something I don't feel comfortable telling you Guirus. I just don't like my name that's all. I'm afraid you'll laugh." She blushed after saying this, liking how Angurius seemed to be interested in her more for who she was. And yet, at the same time, the thought of telling him her name, her given name, was something that she didn't want to do just yet. "Do you understand me?" She could still feel the growing attraction between the two of them, especially whenever they went off for a "private training session."
"No worries." Angurius smiled, or rather tried to smile, realizing he had touched a soft spot for her. "Damn it. I should just tell her how I feel already. Who am I kidding? I'll just screw this up like I do everything else." Mothra gently laid on her back as Angurius watched, before he worked up the courage to ask her what it was that she needed help with. "So….um…what is it that you are doing exactly, and why do you need me?"
"I am going to try and induce myself into a trance," Mothra explained as Angurius tilted his head, "which is to say that, I am going to see if I can connect with the Earth herself, and pinpoint where exactly The Master has sent his newest Acolyte. In my dream, each of the signs that I saw can tell us the nature of each Acolyte the Master has, and for this one, it seems as if they use poison as their weapon."
"Is this dangerous?"
"I don't know Gurius, but I have memories of Gigamoth and the ritual she did to communicate with the Earth. If she can do it…. then so can I. I need you here to break me out of my trance just in case I start to show any signs of…. well, you'll know."
Angurius huffed as he pawed the ground, before he responded, "Please be careful Mothra, I…don't to lose… you know…. one of my friends…." Mothra's eyes narrowed at the last phrase, feeling as if he meant to say something else. Regardless, she looked at him once again, before she began the ritual, indicated by the sigil glowing gold. She could feel sleep taking her immediately, and soon enough, she saw nothing but darkness.
Another World.
"Where….am I?"
All Mothra could see was a white void surrounding her that stretched for miles and miles, all leading to nowhere. She looked around from top to bottom, hoping to glimpse something at least, that would prove that she wasn't alone in the void. She flew forward a bit, up and down, as she gazed down the white bottom that led to nowhere. She then heard a voice, one that sounded very old and ancient, call out to her from the void.
"Who…..art…..thou?"
"I am Mothra Lea, the Guardian of Earth, daughter of Mothra Gaia and brother of Battra, the former Guardians of Earth." As she said this, she became aware of a creaking sound coming from behind her, along with the sounds of the Earth rumbling and forming something. Turning around, she saw a massive behemoth standing behind her made up of plant life, earth, and rocks, looking at her with piercing blue eyes. What surprised Mothra the most, was that this behemoth looked like a bigger Godzilla, only with none of his signature rage. The creature stared at her for a long time, before the voice came back.
"It is a grave matter if thou art here Guardian. There is a darkness spreading around us, and we have felt it. It is hurting us, consuming us, and thus our time together is limited." The voice came from the creature, which confirmed Mothra's suspicions that she was indeed looking at Mother Earth, and judging from her appearance, it was perhaps fate that Godzilla and his kin bore a resemblance to her.
"I have come because my friends and I have learned of a being called The Master, who we believe is the cause of the darkness you feel Mother Earth. I also had a vision which I believe is telling me about each of the Acolytes he plans to send out to attack you."
"The Master? Yes. We know who he is, but we do not know his name for he has many, and our knowledge has been lost to time."
"Please," Mothra begged, her eyes widening in distress, "Tell me if you have an idea on where the next Acolyte is, because if we can stop each of the Acolytes when they appear, I think we can stop him from hurting you. For the sake of my son, tell me please." Mother Earth, or rather Godzilla Earth looked down at her, before she answered the Guardian of Earth.
"Journey to Skull Island. It is there where you will find the next Acolyte, a creature called Varan the Unbelievable, along with the Island's King. Be forewarned, for Skull Island is not long for this world, and the King is being tempted to join The Master in his conquest. Should he join the Master…well, allow us to show you what will happen if you fail…."
Mothra's head started ringing as Godzilla Earth's eyes flashed into hers, and the white void was replaced with a human city. It was in flames with ruined buildings all around, and human war machines lying destroyed in the ground including M.O.G.U.E.R.A's upper torso, what appeared to be a mechanical Ghidorah head, along with a disemboweled Junior, a skeletonized Angurius, and Neo's head on a pike, with blood pooling underneath it. She saw herself with her wings burned and her body ravaged, as a silver armored Divine Moth hovered above, his red eyes glairing into hers.
"Leo," Mothra whispered as she watched her son blast the other Mothra with crimson flames, until there was nothing left but a black shadow on the ground. Mothra then saw Leo join up with The Master, who was shrouded in darkness, along with many terrible creatures that Ghidorah was leading. They were facing down another army of humanoid machines with a single red visor, being led by a black and red humanoid creature with a strange weapon.
"Kaiser Belial," the Master laughed, "have you come to die?"
"As if," Belial retorted as he pointed his weapon forward, "DESTROY THEM ALL!"
The Master and Kaiser Belial clashed, and within a few seconds, Mothra watched in horror as the Earth was consumed by a titanic explosion, followed by a singularity that swallowed up the stars, solar systems, and every living being in the universe. There was darkness, and then two glowing red eyes broke the darkness, as a horrific laugh echoed throughout the void.
"Now do you see the danger thou faces? Go now Guardian, and stop the Master, for the sake of everything!"
Mothra's Cave.
Angurius looked down at Mothra, who was fidgeting violently as her Prism Beams started firing out randomly. She then awoke with a jolt, and grabbed into Angurius's mid-section, wrapping her legs around him. She only managed to croak out the location of Varan, before she started sobbing into Angurius's chest, and he decided to sleep with her that night, just so she wouldn't be alone.
"S-s-skull I-i-island."
Skull Island.
"Well Mom and Dad, looks like this the last time I'm gonna see you," Kong rubbed his parent's skulls, noticing the sea water that was leaking from the ground, "I'll be with you soon, unless my "friend" comes through, and maybe if I can find this "Godzilla" freak." Kong stood up, as he walked back to his cave, where a pair of glowing green eyes awaited him, and a long tongue dripped with green venom.
"Punctual aren't we," Varan smiled as he watched Kong come in, "Sssso, are you prepared to meet the one who can ssssave your home? He hassss been waiting to meet you for a long time Kong."
"Okay very funny," Kong snorted, "What, was he so important that he couldn't meet me when Skull Island actually started sinking?"
"Now now," The Master chuckled, causing Kong to whip around and look at him, "Is that any way to speak of the one who can save your island?" Kong's eyes widened as he looked back at the cave painting of Chiros, and then back at the Master. He was a tall creature, with his head, and wings being that of a red-scaled dragon, while his upper torso had the head of a golden ape like beast, but like the dragon had scales of a golden variety, which extended to his arms and his claws. His legs and lower half had the head of a fish like beast, and two blue-green legs and a long-spiked tail. Each head had two eyes, the dragon head having crimson red eyes, the ape head having yellow eyes, and the fish head having blue eyes.
"You…are CHIROS?"
"Well, that is what the humans who once lived here used to call me, but I am known by many names," The Master reminisced as he placed one of his claws on Kong's shoulder. A tremor suddenly hit the cave, causing Varan and Kong to lose their balance, while The Master was left unaffected.
"Is it true? Can you save Skull Island?" Kong in many ways suspected this "Master," as he had remained in the shadows for so long, and only communicated through Kong via Varan, who seemed friendly enough, albeit a little slippery. So, he decided to press him a little further, hoping to see if The Master was telling the truth about being able to save Skull Island. "How do I know you aren't lying about being able to save Skull Island? I'm not as stupid as you think I am you old prune." The Master chuckled at this, while Varan's eyes widened at the rudeness of Kong.
"Tell me, do you see that part of Skull Island sinking into the ocean?"
Kong looked out of his home, and indeed, there was a sound of rumbling as part of Skull Island was overtaken by the ocean, and disappeared beneath the surface.
"Now…. BEHOLD!" The Master's hand started to glow yellow as he held it out, along with the eyes of the ape. Kong felt his jaw drop as he saw the land that had fallen into the ocean rise out of its watery grave, and settle back perfectly. "I can do this for the whole island….and much much more…."
"What do you need me to do? Name it," Kong replied, as a sense of hope surged through him now that he knew his home could be saved.
"All you need to do issss to kill Godzilla," Varan grinned, "For he issss arriving here in the next few dayssss." It was right around then that Kong suddenly realized that he and Varan were alone, and that The Master had disappeared. "The Masssster'ssss power may be great, but Godzilla'ssss control over Sssshadow Demonssss will prevent him from ssssaving your issssland. You ssssee, he cannot remain outsssside hissss world very long due to injuriessss he ssssusssstained in the passsst. And if the Sssshadow Demonssss end up desssstroying him, then your home will never be ssssaved. Now, do we have a deal? If you kill Godzilla, then The Masssster will make Sssskull Issssland glorioussss again, and ssssoon enough, you will not be lonely anymore…."
Varan held out his claw, expecting Kong to shake on it and thus create the deal, as his venom dribbled out of his mouth, sizzling as it hit the floor. Kong looked at the claw, as he weighed his options before him. Either fight the one responsible for the destruction of Skull Island, or let the Island fall into the ocean, never to be seen again.
Kong grabbed his claw, and felt darkness surging into him as Varan grinned.
He cursed his stupidity, before the darkness overtook his mind, and his rage against Godzilla grew and grew.
The Dark World.
"Why'd you disappear? Where are you?"
"KEEP SEARCHING."
"You know, why don't you two just kiss already? You already sound like an old mated couple."
"Desghidorah? What the hell are you doing to the viewing globe you nut?!"
The Winged Death was busy moving each of his heads around the globe for quite some time now, his repetitive behavior being noticed by Dagahra. Nobody else was there with them, aside from the skeleton that was gaining more and more flesh as more spirits flew into it. Desghidorah turned around, as Leader decided to answer the water dragon.
"You remember the island where the destroyer fled to?"
"Who could forget your big boneheaded mistake? Well three heads, but you get the point."
"It's gone, disappeared. I'm looking for it before Ghidorah gets on my case again." Dagahra looked aghast at this, before he started pressing Desghidorah for more information.
"Why do you let him push around like that?"
Vicious looked at him, and answered, "WE DESERVE IT."
"Deserve it? What? For being made? Is that what you are telling me?" Desghidorah's heads looked down at this, causing Dagahra to softly gasp. "It is, isn't it?"
"Look at you and your achievements Dagahra. All you had to do was find a bunch of bones lying on the bottom of the sea, and all I had to do was just communicate with a destroyer," Leader started growling, "And guess what happened?! Guess what fucking happened?! EVEN I COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT RIGHT! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE SACRIFICED FOR HIM!? I was just a mistake The Master made, so why don't you leave me alone stupid lizard?!" Dagahra grabbed Leader, and stared into his eyes.
"You know, I'm not too fond of The Master myself, but even I don't like it when I see him treat you like shit. You know Deutalios?"
"The only thing more annoying than me," Nutcase cackled.
"He's the only thing that connects me to my past, and if I had to be honest, my only friend. I love the little guy, and it is for him that I put up with Ghidorah and The Master. He and I have been searching for our old home for years, and The Master as it turns out, has the damn location. I put up with him for so goddamn long because I knew that eventually he would want what is hidden in Atlantis. My other friends, Irys, Barugon, and Zedus are there, with an army of Gyaos ready at the beck and call of whoever gets there and reactivates the city itself. And do you know what I'm going to do when The Master finally gives me the location to our old home? Well, I plan to rebel against him, because why should I let a creature like him do what he is planning to do, when you and I both know that it probably won't end well for the both of us?!"
"TREASON," Vicious gasped out, as Dagahra smiled.
"You should fight your own battles you know Desghidorah. So, do you even know the point of my little story? Fact of the matter is, you can't let people push you around forever," Daghara grinned, "Because eventually…. YOU WILL SNAP! I can tell that you are closer and closer to doing it right now. So, why don't you not let Ghidorah push you around anymore, and if The Master calls you a mistake again, well, why not show him why you shouldn't be fucked with? He'll learn all too soon why I shouldn't be fucked with."
Dagahra turned around and left, while Desghidorah went back to what he was doing, until he heard the flap of wings, and the cruel voice of Ghidorah.
"And what was Dagahra telling you back there, brother?"
"That you are a golden asshole," Nutcase lied, smiling as he saw Ghidorah's eyes narrow with annoyance, "and that you like poking your noses where they don't belong."
"Of course, he did," Ghidorah groaned, believing the lie of Nutcase, "What a useless useless useless monster. I look forward to the day he falls in battle. But tell me brother, what are you looking for?"
"NOTHING," Vicious boomed, "JUST HOW VARAN IS FAIRING WITH THE KING OF SKULL ISLAND."
"Well, by now The Master is showing Kong his power so that he trusts Varan enough to make a deal, and thus make him our new Acolyte, and then destroy Godzilla and his friends. And soon, Varan will return to me….."
"Well," Leader replied, "That sounds like fun…."
