Curse of the Unbelievable
Chapter Six: The Battle of Skull Island Part 2.
Skull Island: Mothra, Anguirus, and Neo vs Bagan.
"So, you stand together, hoping to bring an end to me? THEN PREPARE TO PERISH TOGETHER!"
"Foolishness Master, foolishness." With Neo's statement, he, Mothra, and Anguirus charged at Bagan, who fired a blast of wind at the trio, blasting Neo and Mothra into the sky. Anguirus was the first to reach him, and with his rapid slashes started attacking his face. Bagan smiled as his middle yellow eyes started to glow, and within a cliff wall, a stone statue of Bagan walked out from it, all six of its eyes glowing yellow as it went after Anguirus. Mothra quickly flew into the stone copy, causing it to take some damage, and landing next to Anguirus as the two prepared to face the statue.
"I got your warning and I came as fast as I could!" Anguirus grunted as he rolled into a ball and collided with the golem's punch, while Mothra blasted it with a wave of energy erupting from the ground, "This is the guy?! This is the Master?!"
"He calls himself Bagan!" Mothra watched as the golem went flying into the air, and following up her attack, she quickly fired a chest beam into it, causing it to explode. "I'm glad you're here Gurius, I could really use the help!" As she said this, more stone statues rose out of the ground, followed by several Radon and Angilas shaped Shadow Demons forming. Anguirus stood in shock for a moment, before he roared in anger, a fury upon seeing some of his own Tribe as part of Bagan's army. He charged with great speed, and rolled into several of them, destroying them as more attempted to slash at him. "What is Neo doing here!? He left Earth a while ago!"
"You got me! He says he doesn't want to waste his second chance, and he wants to help us kill Bagan!" Anguirus let out a sonic roar, shattering several statues, while Mothra's combination beam quickly took out several of the flying Shadow Demons. "He carried me here when Belvera got the message that you needed help, and honestly, I think we can talk about him later!" Both continued to tear through the crowd of demons and golems, while up in the sky, a different battle was taking place. After Neo had been tossed into the sky, he had quickly caught himself and was floating above in his flying form, watching as Bagan flew up to him, and slowly charged his Corona Beam.
"You can beat him my son, you are strong and powerful. I will protect you from his mental attacks, but that is all I can do to protect you. The rest is up to you."
Biollante's words helped Neo calm himself down as he flew at Bagan, firing off his Corona beam to destroy the flying meteors that Bagan sent at him, before the two crashed into each other and flew back, facing each other in the sky. "So, you return to this planet, murderer," Bagan growled as he summoned his water blades, while Neo flew at him with his crystal blades and some of his crystal missiles which he fired at more flaming boulders that were flying at him. The two began to clash in the rain, their sword strokes creating sparks of energy, while Mothra and Anguirus looked up briefly, before they went back to work on defeating Bagan's army. "What are you trying to prove? I can glance into your mind, and tear you apart easily like the destroyer did."
"I think not! Stay out of his head demon!"
"Oh," Bagan chuckled in surprise as the blades locked into each other, causing both him and Neo to face each other head on, "There's someone else in your head, isn't there? Erika Shiragami is your name, but you go by Biollante now. Your father was called Genshiro, and you were a botanist before he turned you into a monster. I can see why you think of her as your mother Neo, but are you sure she can be trusted?" Neo growled before he broke the lock by retracting his blades, and with a crystal punch, sent Bagan flying away. However, one of the water blades had cut into his flesh, and he was bleeding as he flew at Bagan, continuously blasting him with his Corona Beam.
"I will defeat you! Your words are nothing but empty threats!" Neo's next beam was soon met by Bagan's fire breath, and to Neo's surprise, it was able to clash. As the fire overpowered his own beam, Neo put more power into it, eventually getting into a standstill with Bagan. "Damn you…. I…need more…...power…" The power of the clashing beams became too much, and they exploded after a good few seconds, blowing Neo and Bagan away from each other. Neo encased his fists into crystals, and took advantage of Bagan's confusion to start punching him, something that did not seem to do any visible damage on him. "Like I said, you can't back up your threats," Neo growled as he activated his telekinesis, and tossed Bagan towards the ground, "BUT I CAN BACK UP MINE!" As he said this, he flew down at high speed, and impaled Bagan with his blades, before impaling the beast on a giant crystal he had created. "Now why don't you shut up?" The body on the crystal suddenly transformed into an Angilas, before it disappeared, causing Neo to look behind him, when he heard a familiar voice.
"Had I not seen one of my Shadow Demons and quickly used an illusion, you might have killed me." Bagan punched Neo into several of his own crystals before he grabbed him by his tail, and then started slamming him into more crystals. Neo quickly discharged bolts of energy into his tail, causing Bagan to lose his grip, and for Neo to right himself has he landed, and faced Bagan down. Bagan almost seemed to tower over him, and he let out a roar, before Neo retaliated and shot several of his crystals at Bagan like missiles. Two of them hit, but Bagan quickly stopped the other two as his middle eyes glowed yellow, and turning them around, he smiled as Neo gasped in shock at the sight of this. As he launched them at Neo, out of nowhere came a massive spiked ball which smashed into the crystals, causing them to crash elsewhere. Anguirus collided into Bagan, and then followed up by slashing him repeatedly, at least until Bagan blasted him with prism beams, followed by him picking up the dinosaur with telekinesis, and slowly starting to crush his throat.
"Hey Bagan or whatever the hell you call yourself…...urk!" A combination beam caused Bagan to drop Anguirus as Mothra divebombed him in her Lightspeed Form, firing off her x shaped energy blasts, to which Anguirus followed by swiping his tail in the air extremely fast, and out of the swipe came a crescent shaped projectile which flew through the air, blasting Bagan into a collapsing part of the island. Anguirus couldn't but smile some, knowing that the vigorous training that he, Mothra, and Junior did led to him discovering that particular ability of his. Neo then got back up and quickly fired a corona beam where he landed, creating another explosion. "As I was saying, do you really think you can take the three of us on?" Bagan had disappeared, leaving behind a small crater as a loud cracking noise caused the three to group together, and to start looking around for any signs of their foe. It was then that Mothra finally talked to Neo, along with Anguirus.
"Did you help Anguirus get here? What made you decide to come back to Earth?"
"I did. Listen, I don't want to waste the second chance you've given me Mothra," Neo replied, as he listened to the sound of thunder crashing, and the roar of the sea covering the sinking island, "I must atone for all that I have done wrong, and the best way for me to do that, is to help my brother and his allies defeat this Master, or as you call him, Bagan." His head crystal was glowing, and Mothra had realized that he had looked into both hers and Anguirus's minds, just for the name.
"Why don't you bring that up with Junior, Neo?" Anguirus asked as he continued to look around, "Isn't he the one you've hurt the most?"
"I will once I see him again. Where is he now?" Several lightning bolts suddenly struck the ground in the distance, followed by the sound of an atomic ray exploding.
"Last I knew," Mothra answered, "Junior went to confront the King of Skull Island, along with one of Bagan's disciples, Varan…..." Booming laughter suddenly filled the air, almost drowning out the lightning and thunder as all three turned to the sound of it, and saw Bagan flying at them at top speed. Anguirus quickly swiped his claws in the air rapidly, and like with his tail, launched a crescent projectile at Bagan, while Mothra fired a prism beam and Neo a crystal missile.
"It will take more than that to destroy me, Son of Boryu!" Bagan powered through the projectiles, and launched Anguirus into the air with one punch, then followed up by grabbing him and then with a loud crack, breaking the dinosaur's back as he slammed him against his knee.
"AAAARGGGGHHHHH!" Anguirus roared as he fell to the ground, lying helplessly, as Bagan grabbed his jaws, and slowly pulled them apart, stretching them to their limit. He did not notice Mothra's glowing red eyes behind him, as he taunted the fallen dinosaur.
"Yes, that was your father's name wasn't it? I can see why he was so disappointed in you, especially after Ghidorah destroyed the rest of his children, except for you. And your mother…... Well, at least she wasn't around to see what a mistake you were… and your grandfather, Baragurius….he was a fool for thinking you were worth anything."
"S-s-s-s-shut…. u-u-u….urk…" Anguirus's jaw cracked apart fully, spraying blood into the air, as Mothra roared with rage and blasted Bagan with a combination beam. He fell forward onto the ground as Mothra crackled with red electricity, while Neo ran over to Anguirus, and after moving him to safety, while healing the damage he could, flew at Bagan with his blades unsheathed, to which Bagan suddenly roared, as he blasted him and Mothra away with a white burst of light, vaporizing the rain that fell around them. Neo opened his eyes, and saw nothing but fuzzy images as he tried to see where Bagan was, only to hear a voice in his head.
"Neo, listen to me carefully, I need you to lure this son of a bitch near that circle of crystals, and you need to hurry, because this island is collapsing faster and faster."
The sound of a volcano exploding briefly took Neo's attention, and quickly looking around to make sure Bagan wasn't there, responded, "And then what? You want me to just stay there?"
"No. Trust me."
Neo's vision fully returned, and he saw the circle of crystals that Mothra mentioned, along with Bagan, who seemed to be winded from the last attack he did. He also saw the ocean swallow more of the island as the tempest raged on, and breathing deeply, he leaped out, firing a corona beam at Bagan. "BAGAN!" Bagan absorbed the beam in his hands, and lunged at Neo, his fist missing as Neo retaliated with a crystal punch. He walked backwards as the two continued their battle, right up until they were in the circle, and right as Bagan grabbed his arm, and broke it with one move.
"What was the point of your resistance?" Bagan through Neo into another crystal outside of the circle, and watched him crumple to the floor. Neo looked up, and smiled softly as he saw a bright light burst out of the sky. Mothra was in her Lightspeed form, and before Bagan could react, she quickly tore into him, severing one of his arms before she flew all around the circle of crystals, creating a mystic sigil. Anguirus had crawled over next to Neo to watch, and while his jaw was still broken, his eyes lit up at the sight of Mothra's power. A halo of light appeared above Bagan, and as it came down, the crystals amplified the seal's power, and bolts of lightning blasted Bagan and kept him within the circle as he roared in pain. "WHAT IS THIS POWER!?" Mothra came out of her Lightspeed form, and glared at Bagan as she fired a violet energy beam at the crystals, which suddenly turned purple alongside the sigil on the ground.
"GO BACK FROM WHENCE YOU CAME!"
A purple beam of light shot up from the ground, and Bagan roared in pain as he was engulfed in it, and soon enough, seemed to disappear as the beam destroyed the crystals. It grew thinner, and then disappeared, leaving a burn mark in the shape of the sigil, and the glowing red bases of the crystals.
Bagan was nowhere to be seen.
Mothra collapsed on the ground as Neo rose a small crystal out of the ground for her to recover her mana, and once she had replenished her energy, she turned to him and Anguirus, and started to heal them as well, Anguirus groaning as his broken back was bent back in shape, along with his jaw. He then asked, "You got him, right? Is that it? Is it over?"
"I think it's over, Gurius, I think we've finally w-"
"I THINK NOT." Bagan rose out of the burn mark smiling as Mothra, Anguirus, and Neo stared at him in shock, wondering he could've survived. However, there was noticeable damage on his body, namely one of his horns was missing, parts of his flesh were burned and missing, one of the dragon's eyes were blacked out, and his wings had holes in them. However, before the trio could even bother defending themselves, Bagan smiled as a dark portal appeared behind him, and he walked in as Anguirus charged at him, stopping right before he ran into the portal.
"Get back here you coward!"
"Coward? No, I will leave you with a choice. You can either follow me into my domain, and be given a swift death, or you can have a much slower death by attempting to save your friend from my Acolyte. Choose wisely defenders, because you all know that final attack was the best you had against me."
The portal hung in midair as the trio looked at each other.
There was only one decision Mothra could make.
There was only one decision that Anguirus had to make.
There was only one decision that Neo made.
Skull Island: Junior and Kong vs Varan.
Kong's parents had told him many times about the last time the volcano had erupted on Skull Island. The volcano was considered to be an omen by his people, that their world would end if it ever erupted, while the humans rather beloved it was the resting place of Chiros, and at least once a year, would offer a virgin to keep him happy. When the volcano had erupted for the first time, it was indeed the end of their world, in that the Skullcrawlers had successfully wiped out his entire tribe, save his parents. They always had told him that story, praying that one day, they'd find more members of the tribe, and rebuild it to its once glorious state.
And now, he had triggered the volcano to erupt a second time, for it was the end of his world again.
"You ssssped up the desssstruction of your own home, jusssst to desssstroy me?" Varan hissed as he leaped upon the cliff, Junior and Kong were on, hissing as the lava slowly made its way down the mountain, and the magma bombs whistled by as they blew up the ground, and fell into the water. "Then thissss place sssshall become your grave!" He leaped at the two latching onto Junior's back, and dug his claws in as he pumped venom into him only to be blown off by Junior slamming his back briefly on the cliff wall. The lava was coming down faster and faster, reaching the cliff, and covering the wall entirely, and it soon enough started covering the ground, leaving a lava flow beneath the cliff.
"D-d-d-damn y-y-you," Junior shuddered as Varan charged him again, only to be grabbed by Kong who quickly broke one of his legs with a punch. The leg snapped back into place almost instantly, and before Kong could bury his axe into Varan's skull, the reptile knocked the axe away, the blade burying itself onto the lava covered wall. Kong then change his approach and started to grapple with Varan, as the two continued to teeter closer and closer to the cliff's edge. Varan's claws raked into Kong's flesh, drawing blood as the two started to wrestle near the edge, and as Junior got up, he charged up an atomic ray, but soon realized he couldn't get a clear shot at Varan. He then decided to charge into the two, and attack Varan directly, hoping that between him and Kong, they would be able to defeat Varan. Gripping the reptile's midsection Junior pulled him off of Kong's body, watching as Varan quickly started swiping his claws around. Kong got up slowly, and in his blurred vision, he could see the two getting closer and closer to where his axe was buried in the wall.
"UNHAND ME YOU VILE SSSSUBCREATURE!" Junior growled and then quickly slammed the side of Varan's head into the lava running down the walls, causing Varan to suddenly start shrieking with pain as his flesh sizzled and cooked. Junior had discovered upon the destruction of Birth Island that his scales were tough enough to survive being dipped in magma and lava, and from what he could view of Varan, his scales were a different story. Varan suddenly was able to break free and he quickly slashed at Junior's chest, who narrowly backed away as Varan stared at him. Half of his face was gone, the scales dripping down his face as they melted into purple goo, exposing blackened muscle and green liquid tricking down the remains of his face, his eye was completely gone, and part of his jaw was exposed, his teeth showing through like a demented half grin. And yet, Varan was not healing from his wounds, rather his blacked flesh started to crumble away. "YOU WERE LUCKY WHELP," Varan roared as he narrowly dodged Junior's next blow and then used a updraft to glide onto his head, and quickly spewed his purple venom down his throat, "BUT I AM VARAN THE UNBELIEVABLE, AND I WILL NOT DIE HERE!" Junior started gagging as he fell to the ground, the venom dazing his senses as he saw Varan begin to morph into the creature that resembled his father looming above him. And like before he was back on a burning Birth Island, only this time there would be no escape for him. Then the creature was thrown off him, and Junior blacked out, as his G-Cells worked quickly to remove the venom from him.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Kong tackled Varan into the ground and whipping out his kunai, started to strangle Varan, hoping that it would have some effect on him.
"Why, ack, bother fighting?" Varan started to chuckle as the chain started to dig into his flesh, moving closer and closer to his trachea, "You know that you will die here…..like your filthy mother and father."
"DON'T YOU DARE-"
"Oh, I know what happened to them Kong," Varan grinned with his half smile, watching as Kong's grip loosened around his neck, "It wassss the Sssskullcrawlerssss, wassssn't it? They could've esssscaped and lived if they had left you behind for them to kill."
"NO! SHUT UP!" The volcano boomed once again as more magma bombs exploded out of it, and they splashed in the lava around them. The story was still ongoing, but now the whole area was glowing a hellish red as the lava covered the island, with the exception of Kong's parents who had sunken beneath the sea. Water was still rushing in, and steam was rising as the volcano continued its dying groans.
"You weren't ssssuppossssed to be here right now. No, you went into a place you were forbidden to enter, and you got them killed," Varan hissed with glee, his one good eye staring into Kong as he let go of the chain, the words getting to him. "They would sssstill be here, and maybe they wouldn't be sssso dissssappointed in you…." Varan slithered out and attacked Kong directly, and once again the two began to grapple with each other, until Varan scratched Kong's face, and sent him tumbling backwards near where his axe was buried, followed by his kunai. "Jusssst as I thought, you were weak after all. But don't worry, you and the sssson of Godzilla will prove more usssseful to my Masssster in death." Kong looked weakly as he saw him approaching Junior, who was lying prone on the ground, ripe for the kill. And then, he could see that day again…the day his parents finally allowed him to go out on his own…..the day he was forced to grow up…..
Skull Island was covered in a tempest, the wind was howling as Kong hung onto his mother's chest, and light bolts dotted the skies as his father tossed another Skullcrawler away. They were coming and coming as Ramarak's red eyes glowed like embers from a fire, smiling as he watched his last two remaining mortal enemies fighting for their lives. "MOMMY! DADDY!"
"THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM!" His father's arm hung limp by his side, the stone axe lying some miles away, unable to be recalled. He still continued to fight with his one good arm as the creatures sunk their teeth into him. "GET OUR SON TO SAFETY! RUN!" And then they swarmed on top of him, and he grew silent, never to speak again. His mother continued to fight, knowing that there would be only one choice left for her no matter how many Skullcrawlers she took down.
'You took my love from me…" She whispered as she bent down, holding her son beneath her body as they swarmed on her, burying her like they did her mate. "YOU WILL NEVER TAKE MY SON FROM ME. NOW SACRED LIGHTNING, OBLITERATE!" The lightning came down almost instantly and the Skullcrawlers shrieked in pain as they were struck down, burning alive until none were left, but her and Kong. He crawled out from under her, hearing her labored breaths, and started pulling at her hand, hoping she would answer. She never did. And doing the same with his father…had the same result
"M-m-m-mommy? P-p-p-please? D-d-daddy? N-no…..please….no…" Kong stood in the middle of the rainstorm, his eyes filling with tears as the realization fully hit him that they would never wake up, that they would never take him back to the cave and patch up their wounds, and scold him, like they would do if he made a really bad mistake.
He was now truly alone. And it was all his fault.
The little ape screamed up to the heavens…and then sobbed in the rain…
He could see Varan suddenly morph into Ramarak, and then he could see him approach his mother. No, his father. No both of them were lying there helplessly, and they would die again, all because he was too weak to protect them this time. Then his vision turned red, as he could feel his blood boil at the sight of this.
"Not again."
Junior had also lost someone he loved, and like Kong, it was a parent, and he like Kong blamed himself for it. And yet, here he was, trying to save him from a terrible fate, even though it seemed like his father had given his life so that Junior would live.
"Not….again…"
Something started to stir inside of Kong as he muttered those words again, and getting up slowly, making sure to tie his Kunai around his waist, he grabbed the handle of his axe. The heat from the lava burned his hand, but he could feel no pain right now. No. It was time to stop a grave injustice from happening. Limping forward, he dragged the axe as he approached Varan, the axe glowing red and dripping with lava as he got closer and closer. Varan raised his claws up in the air, ready to strike down Junior once and for all. And then…..he turned around…
"NOT AGAIN!"
"WAIT NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The axe cut through Varan, separating his top half easily, and his bottom half fell to the ground as the lava ate through it, burning it to a crisp, as Kong continued to walk towards Varan, who was feebly crawling to the edge of the cliff, hoping he could escape his fate. "Pleasssse no! Sssspare me! I BEG YOU!" Kong raised his axe up into the air, and catching lighting onto it from the volcano's smoke, glared down at Varan.
"NEVER AGAIN!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
He swung the axe down, and a massive lightning bolt came down as he dug it into Varan's chest, destroying the edge instantly, and sending the burning Varan downwards towards the lava flow. When he struck it, there was one last moment as he screamed again, before he fully sank into it, sticking one of his claws outwards, before it followed its owner.
Varan the Unbelievable…was gone.
Kong stood up straight, and roared to the heavens while beating his chest, before he too collapsed next to Junior, exhausted from the battle.
It was over.
