Curse of the Unbelievable

Chapter Five: The Battle of Skull Island Part 1.

Skull Island: Mothra vs Bagan.

"I go by many names. To Kong, I am Chiros, an ancient god worshiped by humans who once lived here. To other humans, I am Czernobog, Ares, Yahweh, and whatever god of evil that humans have assigned you to fight. But to you, and many of the other Kaiju that live here on Earth…. I am Bagan…NOW MEET YOUR END!" As Bagan lunged at Mothra, she charged up a mystic sigil, ready to fight to the death. She followed his lead, and flew at him, using the sigil to block the swing of the water sword, while firing off a chest beam, watching as Bagan leaped out of the way onto a nearby cliff. She quickly continued her assault by firing off prism beams at Bagan, who dodged each blast as he summoned several boulders which he then lit on fire, grinning as Mothra's eyes started to glow red and she charged at him. "Anger is most unbecoming of you Lea," Bagan sneered as he sent the burning rocks at her, "You might make a mistake!" Mothra nimbly altered her flight as the rocks whizzed past her, and she summoned two more sigils as Bagan summoned two water swords. She and Bagan started to clash with their weapons, as sparks of gold and blue lit up the dark sinking island, and thunder rumbled in the sky. Mothra continued to clash until with a mighty strike, Bagan brought both of his swords down on her sigils, and sent her flying into the side of the cliff wall hard. Mothra heard a cry of pain and realized that she was bleeding from her back, not as bad as she thought it would've been, and that Bagan's mouth was smoking as he prepared a fire attack. "Some Guardian of Earth, BURN!"

"NEVER!" Mothra quickly changed into her Lightspeed Form and flew right through the flames, her exoskeleton absorbing the heat as she slammed into Bagan and slammed him with multiple X shaped beams, and then lifting him up into the air and body slamming him into the ground as she used the heat gathered from his own attack, creating a massive explosion that shook the whole of Skull Island. Changing quickly back into her regular form so she could preserve her energy, her eyes turned back to blue as she suddenly noticed that Bagan was not in the crater anymore, rather floating above her. "What are you demon? Where do you come from?"

"Oh, now that depends." Bagan fired off prism beams from each of his eyes, only to have them dissipated by Mothra's scales. "I'm certainly not a demon…...let's just say I am. And as for where I come from, well you would not understand. After all, you are a mediocre Guardian of Earth who knows that she can't even defend her own son." Mothra fired off wing lighting as Bagan continued to shoot fireballs at her, her bolts destroying each one that got close to her. She felt his words sting her very soul, but she kept her composure, knowing that her anger could give him an advantage. Eventually, she was able to fire off a chest beam, which destroyed another fireball headed for her, causing Bagan to dodge it again. Then as all of his eyes glowed in shades of red yellow and blue, gold electricity surged around his hands and Mothra thought she could see what appeared to be a long beaked head with multiple eyes coming out of his hands. Then with surprising speed, two golden long necked heads shot out his hands, transparent in apperance, and roared in fury, almost sounding like Ghidorah's roar. Mothra nimbly dodged each head as they attempted to grip onto her, and creating two mystic sigils, blocked each head as they lunged for her.

"You won't win! I swear it!" Bagan growled in anger, and fired a third head from his mouth, it managing to latch onto Mothra's thorax. Mothra quickly fired off a chest beam which dissipated the head, and hit Bagan in the face, breaking his concertation and causing the other two heads to retract back into his body. Mothra quickly flew at him with all of her speed and strength, and fired a combination beam point blank in his chest. Bagan fell as the beam hit him, and was slammed into the ground as Mothra fired off a chest beam as well, her eyes glowing red once again. She fired faster and faster, until she heard a loud boom, and watched as the beast was consumed by an explosion of colors that wiped out the entire cliff. Feeling that her energy was low, Mothra quickly fluttered down and landed in a spot some ways away to absorb mana. Moll and Lora were still merged into her, but she could hear them talking with Belvera about something. "I know he's still alive," Mothra thought to herself as she saw a huge beam of light descend from the heavens, and heard a loud rumble and crack as part of Skull Island disappeared into the ocean, "I don't know how long it will take him to recover, but-"

"Oh, but I am recovered Lea…the real question is, can you beat me alone?" Mothra finished recovering her mana, and quickly flew up, seeing Bagan flying at her with a grin on his face. She barely had any time to defend herself as he through a massive punch that sent her flying through several rock formations. She barely had any time to recover before he started sending the formations flying at her with his geokinesis, and while she managed to dodge the formations, she realized that he was keeping her away from him, while he slowly approached her. The formations then erupted into magma as his pyrokinesis kicked in, but thinking quickly she turned into her Aquatic Form and absorbed the rain drops before blasting Bagan with a Hydro Beam. The magma hardened, and Bagan countered with a Hydro Beam of his own, and augmented it with several lightning bolts from the thundering skies that hit him. The beams clashed until, Bagan won out, blasting Mothra out of her Aquatic Form and sending her to the ground. He walked over to her slowly, grinning as he saw her weakly trying to get up, until he heard an explosion in the distance, and turned around to see a violent explosion of orange and blue. When he turned back, Mothra was upright, and staring at him. "You are very brave Lea, but you know that you cannot beat me on your own. Why don't you just give up right now, and let me enact my plan?" The battle would not be physical for now, but rather a battle of words.

"Because the Earth comes first, and I will fight until my dying breath, unlike you, you cruel pathetic beast!"

"Like your mother before you? Do you really think she would be proud of you right now? You needed help in defeating Godzilla, something Battra could've done on his own had you not distracted him. You have feelings for a filthy Angilias tribe member, a creature who should be under your feet. You feel sorry for the son of the one who killed your brother, rather than hurting him so his father knows what you went through."

"At least I have others to care about and who care about me," Mothra spat, watching as Bagan kept his composure, "All you have from what I can see is beings who fear you rather than love you. You bully them into joining you, you promise them things you know they cannot get, and worst of all, you trick them and corrupt them and pervert their innocence." Bagan's eyes widened in response but he still kept his composure.

"Some of them join me of their own free will, because they know I can show them the way to their salvation and liberation. Much like human religions, and their beliefs in gods and deities of their own. If you knew exactly what my goal was, I'm sure you would see the light as well," Bagan continued, as Mothra noticed a strange light shining behind him in the storm, confirming her worst fears that his patchwork body was merely a shell for…something at any rate.

"Stall. Keep stalling, trust me," Moll chirped in her mind, unnoticed by Bagan before her, and Mothra followed the advice the Shobijin gave her.

"Why do you wear that body? If you are so all powerful like you say you are, then why don't you show me your true face?"

"Well I like this body," Bagan rubbed the dragon's face with one of his claws and smirked, "I don't want to shed it just yet. You're stalling, aren't you Guardian?"

"I am," Mothra replied as she whipped out her stinger, "SO I CAN FIND A WAY TO STOP YOU!" Bagan charged towards her, as she prepared for the worst when suddenly, a bolt of blue came out of the sky, which Bagan quickly deflected with a swipe. The blue bolt landed in the ground and a crystal rose out of the small crater. Several more crystals came out of the ground and surrounded Mothra and Bagan, shining brightly in the rainstorm. Then Mothra looked as a spiked ball came out of the sky, flying right at Bagan.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!"

With a fierce roar, Angurius launched himself into Bagan, staggering the ancient being, and landed in front of Mothra, his eyes burning with anger. As Bagan got his bearings, a cluster of crystals followed with a loud sonic boom, and Neo slashed Bagan with his arm blades, landing also in front of Mothra. He turned around and looked at her, but only got a silent stare from Mothra, knowing the conversation could be saved for later. She rose up, charging her prism beams, and stood alongside Angurius and Neo, all three watching as Bagan floated up in the air, a whirlwind forming around them.

"So, you stand together, hoping to bring an end to me? THEN PREPARE TO PERISH TOGETHER!"

The Dark World.

"My beloved…. You are magnificent," Ghidorah reassured himself as he watched the battle on the viewing globe, "You can beat those lesser vermin, I know it." This was something he was quite unsure of if he had to be honest, as it seemed like Varan was having trouble battling Kong and Junior. Of course, he wanted desperately to join Varan and help him destroy their enemies, but Bagan refused to let him do so, claiming that it was Varan's battle, and he would have to finish it himself with no aid from him. His red eyes were darting quickly, observing Varan's movements and attacks.

In the distant corner, Dagahra and Desghidorah watched the ancient skeleton in the beam of light gain more and more flesh, starting to resemble a Jira Tribe member who had his life stripped away from him by a strange device that a lowly human invented. "Crazy isn't it," Dagahra sighed, "To think that coulda been me back in the day. Poor bastard…...but he is sure taking his time regenerating to be useful. Tell me Desghidorah, have you thought about what I said to you?"

Leader looked at Dagahra, his red eyes burning in the darkness, before he answered, "Of course, I have. I will talk freely now that The Master isn't here, and is busy occupying himself, but I am beginning to believe that he won't go through with killing the Guardian and her friends. No, when I see him battling them, he's merely testing how powerful he is. He and Mothra fought to a standstill, so clearly she is the most powerful member of those Earth Defenders….."

Vicious, who seemed to be quieter than usual, added, "My loyalty in him was misplaced, we are going to become redundant."

"Thrown out in the trash," sighed Nutcase as he shook around, "except for the cyborg and Ghidorah of course. Because of course it has to be the golden prick and the freak of nature, and not me!" Dagahra leaned in closer to hear this, and thought for a few minutes before he responded to Desghidorah.

"Now you see, don't you? This Promised Day, whatever the fuck it is, something tells me that we each have a purpose to play in it. And it ain't ruling alongside him, no…I bet we're gonna be sacrifices."

"Varan has been set up to die," Leader whispered, as he watched Ghidorah's faces gain concerned looks, "and my brother knows it."

"I have no idea what he saw in that purple imbecile at all," Nutcase laughed, "But hey, at least he has two other heads to play around with after Varan gets…...well…...massacred! Oh, his reaction will be so fun to see, and then maybe I and the two other idiots attached to me can have something to use against him!" At this Leader and Vicious laughed with him, causing a concerned look to come from Dagahra.

"Hey buddy, you know you might be next right?" At this, Desghidorah glared at Dagahra, before all three of his heads started to speak in unison, something that rarely happened, and something that never failed to make Dagahra shake where he stood.

"Next? The Master thinks me weak and useless, and he's said as much when comparing me to Ghidorah." Desghidorah turned to look at the concerned Ghidorah, before turning back to Dagahra, "I am not quite as weak as he believes I am. You shall see it soon…"

"Geez, okay," Dagahra groaned as Desghidorah walked off, disappearing from sight entirely, and leaving only him around with the skeleton. He decided to calm his nerves by watching the flesh regenerate, but even then, he still thought about what Desghidorah said to him.

"Guess I got to him after all….. now what's he going to do?"

Skull Island: Junior and Kong vs Varan.

On Skull Island, a tempest was raging as wave after wave of Shadow Demons swarmed Kong and Junior, while Varan used the winds to glide over them and attack them with his venom strikes, before he landed and camouflaged himself once again. "KONG! How much longer do we have before the island collapses?!" Junior's tail slammed into several demons, and Kong punched several into the air, to which Junior blasted them with his atomic ray. The rain was falling harder now, and more thunder lit up the skies.

"Hell, if I know! Do you see Varan anywhere?!"

Varan snuck around the back, before he jumped onto Junior's back, sinking his venom filled fangs into his shoulder. Junior grabbed the reptile, tossing him away, but his vision became clouded, as his G-Cells began to fight off Varan's venom. "He'ssssss right there….." Junior groaned as abstract shapes filled his vision, while Varan started to slash at Kong, who backed away from the swipes. Skull Island faded from his view as Junior could see nothing but darkness...

"Now witnessss how my venom workssss ssssson of Godzilla….."

"Wh-what?" Junior looked around, and with a soft gasp, could see that he was back on Birth Island again. But it really wasn't Birth Island, right? It was destroyed some time ago, and there was nothing left of it, right? Then he heard a familiar voice, one that he thought he would never hear again.

"…Junior…Why didn't you save me?..."

The island suddenly started to catch fire as smoke filled the air, the sky turned from a shade of light blue to deep red, and the ocean boiled as a figure emerged from the water, causing him to back away. "No…...this isn't…...real…."

"Why didn't you protect me?..." The creature almost looked like his father, but it was falling apart, almost melting as it stepped out of the water. All around it, decomposing sea life floated in the boiling sea, and as stepped on the beach, its organs trailed behind it, hanging out of a half skeletal chest. Its face was missing part of its flesh, giving it a skeletal grin as it walked up closer and closer, stretching its horrible half melted arms forward, "You failed me…. you failed everyone…."

"What did you do to him you BASTARD?!" Kong's chain wrapped around Varan's throat as he channeled as much lighting as he could into the reptile, causing his skin to sizzle and pop as his head went flying off away. Junior was lying on the ground, convulsing and foaming at his mouth as his eyes stared into the rain unblinking, wide open with fright. Varan's head reattached itself, and the reptile leaped at Kong, as the two started to trade blows.

"Oh nothing…...If I'm lucky, he won't have the willpower to live anymore…"

"I must not fear, fear is the mind killer," Junior muttered as the thing came closer and closer to him, "This is how his venom works isn't it?" He stood up to the thing, which wrapped its claws around his throat, opening its mouth as he could hear the familiar hum of an atomic ray charging up.

"…...Together…. forever….."

Junior fired his Atomic Ray at the thing, and its head exploded as the burning island faded away, and the rumbling sound of thunder and tremors filled his ears. He was back on Skull Island, and he was not greeted by that horrible thing, but by the sight of Varan and Kong locked into a struggle, Varan's long tongue dripping with his venom. By his estimate, the amount of venom that had been injected was little, but it had almost been enough to kill him, and while he lucked out thanks to his healing factor, Junior could see that Kong was less likely to survive something like that. "I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Empty threatssss king, empty threatssss from a falsssse king and a failed defender," Varan hissed as he dug his claws into Kong's sides, causing him to roar in pain, "Now you too sssshall-" Varan could feel his jaws being pried apart as he was torn away from Kong, and the last thing he could hear was the sound of an atomic ray being fired, and he could see Junior's burning glare as an atomic ray was fired down his throat, followed by his body being blown completely apart. Kong and Junior both could see more Shadow Demons rising out of the ground and approaching them, their dark bodies moving fast as they pounced on them.

"Can he heal from that?!" Kong summoned several lightning bolts which tore into the demons, while Junior's nuclear pulse incinerated several that had crawled onto his body, as a huge tremor struck the island, causing more of it to sink into the ocean. As if to answer Kong's question, Varan's heart started beating once again, as dark red and green muscle formed around it, sending out blood vessels which grabbed his other innards, followed by his bones regrowing and flesh being restored, along with his purple scales and claws. His head reattaced itself to the body as it had once before, and Varan was whole once again.

"Damn it! That was my best idea!" Junior bit onto a demon, and tossed it at Varan, who leaped out of the way, and spat out a venom ball at Junior, missing while camouflaging himself again.

"You ssssurvied my venom sssson of Godzilla." Junior and Kong both looked around as they tried to hear where Varan's voice was coming from, which wasn't helped by the island's continuous collapse. "You are lucky for now…..but why continue this conflict, while thissss place dissssappearssss?"

"What do you mean?!" Kong eyes were glowing blue as he growled fiercely, and electricity surged through his chain and axe. Junior's spines in contrast were orange as he charged an atomic ray, both listening for Varan's voice.

"Had you done your job and killed him, well, then we wouldn't be fighting right now Kong, you would be sssserving alongsssside me and my fellow Acolytessss, and your home would be fine…."

Varan leaped out of the way as an atomic ray and Kong's chain flew out of his location, and he landed at the cliffside of the massive volcano. It was continuing to stir, as magma bubbled beneath, ready to give out one last dying breath. "Don't listen to him Kong, he's lying and you know it," Junior growled as he watched Varan smile, knowing that the two would not be able to kill him easily.

"You don't need to tell me that. C'mon you cowardly snake, get down here and face us!"

"Oh really? And what will happen? More of the ssssame," Varan hissed as his tongue licked his long sharp teeth, "You two cannot kill me." Varan leaped down as Kong swung his axe, but missed, and sunk his teeth into Kong, injecting his venom into him. Junior tackled the reptile off the ape, who fell to the ground in pain. He kneed down as he directed some electricity to his shoulder, feeling the venom leak out of the puncture wounds.

"I can feel it burning! DAMN IT! At least he only injected a little bit compared to the amount Junior got from him, but still, I can't do anything right now but watch. If I had to be honest, he's too damn fast and agile for us to do any meaningful damage, and it doesn't help that can put himself back together like a fucking…...well…...however Junior regenerates. Thunder Mode might be able to do something, but I can't access it again for some reason, and even then, I know that it can be more powerful, but I only used it for the first time. Without Junior, I think if he or I faced Varan alone, we'd be dead. Honestly, he's a lot kinder than I expected him to be, because if I were in his position when we fought, I would've maybe ended my opponent. He saved me, and it's something that's only been done once for me before. I still haven't reached my limits, but….. wait…THAT'S IT! LIMITS! Varan can heal all he wants, but he has to have a limit, and I know what to do….."

Junior did not notice Kong getting up while he blasted Varan with a point-blank atomic ray, putting a hole in his torso. "As long as I breathe Varan, I WILL FIND A WAY TO DESTROY YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Varan quickly scratched at his eye with one of his claws, and then continued to swipe as he and Junior got closer and closer to the volcano, using his speed and size to dodge Junior's attacks. Varan started laughing like a maniac as the rumbles started up again, and did not stop as huge cracks

"Try assss you might, you will never be able to desssstroy me. After I kill you and Kong, then my masssster will finissssh off your friendssss, and nothing will stop him from-"

A loud explosion suddenly shook the island, and Junior glanced around to see that Kong had caught some lighting on the end of his axe, and had swung it into the side of the volcano, sending a blue wave of electricity right up to the top. Junior turned to look at Kong, and realizing what he was doing, silently nodded and ran over to him as Kong climbed onto a nearby cliff, as a sudden silence filled the battlefield. Varan looked around in fright, and then slowly raised his head up as he realized what Kong had done.

Then there was another explosion, and the volcano awoke from its long slumber as a massive cloud filled with lightning formed above it. The magma rocks shot out, whistling through the air as lava cascaded down the mountain, and water spouts burst out of the ground, like a dirge for a once beautiful paradise, and the home of a unique culture and animals.

Skull Island would not go out with a whimper that night. And while it would be lost to the ages after that night, it would be a night to remember.
