Masters of the Sea and Death

Chapter Two: Mistakes and Regrets.


Atlantis: Many Years Ago.


Dagahra flew upwards, bursting out of the sea right next to the beach, and tossed the Garasharp in his claws to the ground, before blasting the green serpent with his energy beam and promptly severing its head. "That's it, that's the last one. We did it!" Dagahra flew down next to the dead serpent, and looked back at his allies. Manda had landed, looking at the green blood splattered across some of the buildings, and a dead Garasharp impaled on one of the spires of a ruined building. Several more Garasharp lay at Manda's feet, blackened and squeezed with one's tail still twitching just a bit. "Damn it," Dagahra muttered upon seeing that several Atlantean warships had fallen into the sea, along with several dead Garasharp floating to the surface. "I'll clean that up…"

"Oh come now Dagahra," Barugon chuckled as he looked at the frozen remains of the Garasharp he had fought, "It wasn't your fault the humans flew too close to those damned serpents. Sure I'd clean it up, but you know…. I and water don't get along…" At this Dagahra laughed and jumped in, grabbing a warship and chewing the metal, swallowing it as he started to suck up the blood as well. Zedus looked up the midday sun, sniffing as he started to chew and eat the Garasharp he had killed, their bodies being half dissolved with an acid stronger than their own.

"You've been doing well young one," Zedus called out as he bit off a piece of flesh and started to chew, swallowing it. "It took me quite some time to be an effective hunter, but you… you're catching on quickly."

"Ah yes," Barugon replied as he stood near the edge of the water, looking nervously while Manda watched Irys descend from the skies too, one of his tentacles holding a dried-out corpse of a Garasharp and tossing it away. "How could I forget how you panicked when you saw those damned serpents for the first time?" Zedus shot him a playful glare and laughed heartedly, while Dagahra finished cleaning up the mess, and climbed back in front of Manda, looking at her.

"Oh stop it you two," she groaned, watching as the two started to wrestle with each other, and then work on disposing of the Garasharp corpses. "You were great back there Dagahra, you've really been growing. I'm so proud of you." Manda watched as Dagahra then turned around and aimed his should cannons upwards, dispelling a strange white mist from them as he turned the waste he had devoured into clean water.

"Aww thanks Manda," Dagahra grinned, feeling her curl around him as he finished dispersing the water. "Really though, thank you all, I mean it." As she uncurled herself, Manda moved off of him and started to help Barugon and Zedus with the clean-up, freezing the body parts of the Garasharp. Dagahra moved in too, only for Irys to stop him and gesture over to the Garasharp impaled on the spire, and the two moved in, Dagahra climbing up carefully as Irys gripped the serpent with his tentacles. "Hey Irys, you okay?"

"I'm fine Dagahra," the kaiju replied as the two gently pulled the corpse off, and tossed it over to the other three kaiju. "The battle just winded me that's all. You seem very well Dagahra, I can see that my training is taking to you." At this Dagahra turned his head and looked back at Irys, the other kaiju looking at the three other kaiju. "Then again, you seem to be taking to all of our training, like I took in their training beforehand." At this Dagahra started to stammer in shock while Irys looked down at him, almost seeming to grin. "That's right, I was the youngest until you came along."

"How come you didn't tell me before?" Manda then flew over to the two of them, and watched as Dagahra tried to process the information he had just been given. "So wait, if you were the youngest, then who was the oldest?"

"It slipped our minds Dagahra, sorry," Manda answered as she looked at Irys, noticing how lost in thought he seemed to be. "But yes, Irys was the youngest. Before him, it was Zedus, and then before him, it was Barugon. Does that help clear it up?" Dagahra nodded and then suddenly flinched as he felt one of Irys's tentacles touch his back and then the taller kaiju step in front of him.

"Hey Manda, you think it would be okay if I took Dagahra with me to see the Heart?" Dagahra's heart began to flutter at the mention of the Heart, and he looked down at the blue glow at his feet, remembering the warmth of how it had felt whenever he touched it. As of yet, he had not seen the Heart yet, due to the human rulers making it clear that Dagahra needed to be trained first, and since Manda was the only kaiju among them who could communicate with them, Dagahra often wondered when she'd tell him it would be okay to see it. "I think he's learned enough, so he can witness its glory."

"Well…. I think it would be okay right now, let me contact the humans first." Manda put her claws into the ground, and touched the blue lines, causing her eyes and parts of her body to glow blue as she started to speak a strange language, one that the humans spoke but Dagahra still had trouble understanding exactly, no doubt as Manda wasn't a normal kaiju like them, rather something else. As she finished talking, she stopped glowing blue and she got up, stumbling just a bit as she looked back at Irys and Dagahra, the two waiting for her answer. "Irys…. You can take him… have fun you two!" Manda smiled at the two of them as she watched Dagahra excitedly extended his wings and Irys do the same thing, the two preparing to take flight. "Stay as long as you like Dagahra, and remember… it was the Heart which created you… it knows you… so don't be afraid."

"Thanks Manda! I won't be scared!" Irys and Dagahra then took off flying away, and soon they two kaiju flew over the various buildings in Atlantis, watching as humans below them pointed in awe, and several of their aircraft flew by, the pilots saluting the kaiju. "So Irys…. How does the Heart create life exactly? Do you remember anything about it? What else can it do?!"

"Don't worry Dagahra, all of your questions will be soon answered once we get there," Irys answered in amusement, then starting to fly downwards as they reached the center of Atlantis, the massive structure being wide enough for kaiju to enter in. As Irys gently landed, Dagahra landed next to him, both being careful not to crush any humans as they looked up at the massive structing, which towered over both of the kaiju. "You ready? Follow me…." Irys walked in through the front entrance, and Dagahra followed as they went down a long dark hallway, only illuminated by the blue lines running through the stone floor and walls, and the celling high above them. "To answer one of your previous questions, I do not remember anything before I came to, nothing at all." The two continued to walk down the hallway, seeing several branching paths as Irys continued to walk forward.

"It was the same with me… It was odd… like… did we exist before the Heart created us or did it just will us to exist?" Irys stopped and looked back at Dagahra, who stopped and waited for a response from the other kaiju.

"Ah, you wonder if we have souls at all, being that we were created by the Heart yes?" Dagahra nodded nervously, noticing how Irys seemed to shift just a bit, his tentacles flaring up at this question, and his eye glowing along with the spots on his body. "It's amazing you've been drawback free Dagahra, you can swim just fine without sinking like a rock, you don't have to worry about spreading deadly acid everywhere you step, and…. you don't have to drain life from living beings just to stay alive… It's amazing they've even kept us alive this long." Dagahra backed away in fright as Irys stopped glowing, and then looked back down at Dagahra, his shoulders hung low. "I'm sorry… it's just that…. I don't know all of the answers Dagahra. You're lucky you know…"

"I wish I could help you all somehow." Irys then turned around, and walked forward some more, before placing his hands against two walls, which then started to pulse and glow as a massive stone wall in front of them moved downwards, disappearing into the floor as they came to a truly massive chamber, and in the center of it, a blue glowing orb that pulsed and beat, and stood in the middle of a structure coming down from the celling which seemed to feed into the orb, and a similar structure with ramps and tiny stairs coming out of the floor, allowing anybody to walk up and access it. "WOAH!" Dagahra's jaw dropped as he saw the Heart right there, and listened to the beating and the pulsing.

"Amazing isn't it? It's what makes this whole city live…" Irys let Dagahra walk up to it, and followed him, making sure he didn't get too close to it. "The Heart was a gift to us all, and it can create, destroy, or even protect." Dagahra listened as he reached up, trying to touch it, before Irys gently moved his claw away, and continued to talk. "It is not something that should be taken lightly, and it is not to be played with. You understand Dagahra?"

"I do… It's just, it's so pretty…. You think I could create something from it Irys?" Dagahra's mind began to race as he saw several humans walk up the stairs, and start to discuss something in their language, perhaps relating to the Heart. "Maybe I could find a way to help you all, like modify you so you won't have to drain life anymore Irys."

"I don't know Dagahra, but… I appreciate the gesture." Irys then rubbed Dagahra's head with his hand, and then gestured to another exit, which the two kaiju headed to, leaving the Heart behind as it beat, and seemed to watch them. "I do mean it… you're really lucky you haven't had any drawbacks… you might be what Atlantis needs…" As the two finally walked through the hallway and came out to the clearing, they could see the rest of the city again, and looked out in the distance. "Hey, Dagahra?"

"Yeah Irys?" The dragon looked at his ally and friend, noticing how lost in thought he seemed to be, like the Heart had brought up those feelings.

"Tell me, what do you see out there?" Irys pointed out at the cityscape, and Dagahra looked out there, wondering why he asked him that.

"I see a city of living beings like us, and we coexist with them. Right?" Dagahra looked back at Irys, and waited for him to respond.

"Yes, that is one way of looking at it. I see a race of beings who have only touched the surface of what this power is capable of," Irys said, walking forward and looking at the city. "They could be gods all of them with this power, maybe could even challenge Bagan himself. And yet they don't do this."

"Who is Bagan?" Irys looked at Dagahra when he asked this, and looking around quickly, he bent down and came close to his head.

"You would do best to forget that name," Irys whispered, causing Dagahra to get chills down his body as he did. "We all would do best to forget some things, and he is one of them. Let's go back now, okay?" Dagahra nervously nodded, and Irys took flight, while the dragon stayed for a few minutes, the name running through his mind.

Something about the name and idea of a being called Bagan kept him thinking about it in spite of what Irys told him. Eventually as he finally worked up enough courage to fly after Irys and head back to his friends, the name "Bagan" had been burned into his mind, whether he liked it or not, along with ideas on what to use the Heart for.

He never noticed the red multi-eyed starfish that had fallen out of one of his shoulder cannons, it silently crawling after the being who spawned it.


Monster Island: Attack of the Hidotah.


"You're being chased?! By what!?" Junior and Leo immediately moved down, helping Manda out of the water as Ganimes crawled up on the beach, the crab shaking himself off. "Neo! Get her to a safe spot and stay with her!" As Junior shouted at Neo, the space kaiju quickly picked up Manda, while the other suddenly saw the water start to bubble and boil, several dead sea creatures floating up as red starfish floated to the surface, looking at the group with many eyes.

"Those starfish… the sea… mom's dream," Leo muttered as he saw the starfish start to cluster together, starting to meld into a singular being. "What demon made these!?"

"Doesn't matter to me," Anguirus snarled as a bigger eight-legged starfish rose up out of the water, a singular red eye in the middle of its body. "They're going down all the same!" More of the strange starfish rose out of the sea, and as Neo rushed into his cave holding the injured Manda and with Belvera following him as Moll and Lora merged into Leo, the moth's body crackling with cosmic energy. The group of Hidotah then leaped out of the water, flying towards the group as one of them went directly for Caesar.

"You hurt my sister demons of the sea, now I shall make you flee!" Caesar immediately blocked one of the starfish's strikes with his staff, and then quickly swung it right into a series of trees before leaping up as it fired a laser from its eye, and went on to keep dueling it. Another Hitdotah started to grapple with Anguirus, the dinosaur's sonic slash cutting off some of its tentacles, while group of them found themselves slashed in half by Kong's axe, the ape slashing through many and many of them as more Hidotah came out of the sea. Kong then started using his lightning, zapping and vaporizing the ones who came close. Ebirah ran from several of them, the demonic starfish firing laser bolts at him as he allowed himself to be cornered, and then started to laugh wildly as the whole group of them charged up their laser bolts.

"YOU IDIOTS! YOU FEEL FOR IT! AHHHHH!" Ebirah's hidden limbs shot out, and the Hidotah then were blasted into pieces and stunned by the flash of light, their single eyes shutting as Ebirah leaped into the crowd of them and started ripping them to pieces with his claws, Ganimes joining in as he blasted one with boiling sea water and impaled its eye with his claw, causing it to fall over and turn back into Barem. More and more of the starfish attacked, Caesar taking several more down by redirecting their beams back at them, while Neo quickly shut his cave with crystal, the Hidotah there being fought off by Junior and Leo, the two working together.

"Don't let them past us Junior!" Leo quickly blasted one with his forehead beam that Junior tossed at him and then dived down, using wing lightning to quickly help charge up Junior as a destructive Spiral Ray came out of his mouth, wiping out a whole row of the starfish.

"Thanks Leo!" Junior's claws slashed through another one as the two continued the fight, Junior making sure to swat several out of the air with his tail as they leapt at his lover. Leo then fired off his chest beam, and Junior his regular atomic ray, the two combining it to take out another whole group as more and more starfish came out of the seas, surrounding the island completely as they started to overwhelm the Earth Defenders. Anguirus's sonic roar echoed outside of the cave as Neo knelt down, looking at Manda.

"Bel… is she okay?" The Shobijin had blasted off the remaining Barem on her, and was walking over her body, her horns glowing as she listened to her thoughts, and felt her heartbeat.

"She's alive…. barely….." Belvera looked up at Neo, who then bent over the dragon, summoning up several crystals next to her claws.

"Who…. Who…." Manda spoke, trying to lift her head up to look at the kaiju in the cave with her, before she fell back down. "Who… are… you?"

"My name is Neo, and I am an ally of King Caesar along with the rest of us. Touch the crystals, and start healing yourself. I need to help my brother." As Manda placed her claws on one of the crystals and started absorbing the mana from it, she could feel the venom suddenly being forced out of her body, watching as it leaked out of the wounds on her body, and dissolved into a white mist, regrowing her scales. Neo looked at her, watching as she became more aware, and then placed his hand on the moss on the wall, looking through the plants to see the battle with the starfish. "Mom said I have great strength and powers….. let's test that out then…." Neo closed his eyes, and his forehead crest started to glow not orange, but green as he reached out to the plants. Outside of the cave, Anguirus was starting to get tired as he found himself surrounded by many starfish, one more sonic slash cutting one in half, and stood his ground as they leaped at him, their eyes glowing red. It was then that something burst out of the ground, vines that ended in a Venus flytrap like maw, and they impaled the starfish through their eyes, destroying them and saving Anguirus. As Neo continued to do this, everyone else continued to fight as more and more of the starfish came.

"ENOUGH! WITH THE POWER OF THE SUN AND THE POWER OF THE EARTH, I SHALL SEND YOU FORTH!" Caesar rose up into the air as his body started to glow golden, and opening his mouth and with his eyes glowing, a blinding light over took the island as everyone else covered their eyes, and the starfish screeched in horror as the light hit them. When the light died down, Caesar fell back down, and leaned against his staff, panting heavily as every uncovered their eyes, watching as a bunch of Barem fell to the ground, starting to dissolve into a white mist, and then disappearing into the wind. "I have ended this invasion….. there are no more…" Inside of his cave, Neo let go of the moss and retracted the crystal barrier, breathing as he leaned against one of his crystals. Belvera flew over to him in concern, and Neo started to pant, feeling a massive headache as his eyes bled a little. Manda lifted her head up, and looked at him, still very weak from the venom.

"Those starfish, I've seen them before…. they killed a pod of whales," Junior said as he, Leo, Kong, and Anguirus, watched them dissolve into nothing. "They could do all of that damage…."

"Ganimes, these things that were chasing you," Ebirah spoke, as everyone turned to look at the rock crab, who was staring around for any more of the starfish, "You gonna explain all that, and why the hell a god got hurt?"

"Yes cousin, I will…." Ganimes looked around again, and seeing no starfish, started to move where Neo had taken Manda, along with the rest of the group, all wondering if they had gotten lucky with Caesar's final attack.


Monster Island: Secrets Revealed.


"Neo and Belvera…. right?" Manda coughed a bit as she struggled to get up, her long body curling around the crystals he had spawned. "Where am… I? Where's Ganimes? Dagahra! I have to…" Neo walked over to Manda and put his hand on the side of her head, helping her to calm down as she winced in pain, and collapsed.

"Listen… the venom might have been expelled from your body," Neo spoke gently to the sea dragon, "But you're still weak right now. I know you have a lot of questions, but I can't answer all of them. I can answer where you are, and who we are. We're the Earth Defenders, and this is our home, this island." Manda looked up at him, a sad look in her eyes as Belvera flew over to her, and with her horns glowing, started to look over her again.

"… You defend earth? Who leads you? Are they humans?" Manda looked at Neo some more, fascinated by the kaiju's appearance.

"He's coming down right now," Neo answered as he gestured towards the entrance of the cave, and Manda looked over to see the same group of kaiju from the beach descending down. "He's my brother you see, and he's our leader. We do not have any humans leading us." Junior came into view followed by everyone else, Caesar panting heavily as he leaned against his staff, only to quickly run over and kneel next to his sister, picking her up gently.

"Caesar…. You're here…. I thought… I thought…" Manda continued to speak as she put her head against his chest, and he hugged her back, the two staying like that for a while.

"I am okay my sister… and I am happy you are…" The two then pulled away, and Caesar helped Manda stand up, having her lean against his staff as Neo moved next to her, also helping her stand. "I would like to introduce you to my friends and allies sister, as we have been introduced to your friend here. I have already told them about you before, I didn't expect you to be here so soon."

"Hey there," Ganimes cheerfully greeted Manda, the dragon smiling weakly at the rock crab as he waved his claws up. "Glad to see you're okay after that fight."

"I am Junior, the leader of the Earth Defenders, and the son of Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, and I will help you in any way I can." Junior walked up to her first, the young kaiju showing her he could be trusted. Leo flew forward with his lover, the divine moth then landing in front of Manda, his antennae and head gems glowing.

"I'm Mothra Leo, the Guardian of Earth and son of Mothra Lea. These two are Moll and Lora, and you've already met Belvera I can see. My mother was once the leader of our group… but she gave her life to save me," Leo said, his voice filled with longing as Manda looked at him with sympathy. "Let me share with you what all we've been through Manda." As Leo put his forehead against Manda, the dragon found her mind filled with memories of many of the members of the group, and understood everything. However, there was one thing that stood out in her mind and as Leo pulled away, she asked her question to the both of them.

"You two… you are together? Different tribes?" The two nodded, and Manda stood there, wondering how long she had been dormant.

"I'm called Anguirus, I'm just a normal Angilas tribe member however, nothing very special about me." Manda looked at the spiked dinosaur, and narrowed her eyes at him, hearing the doubt in his voice. She then looked at the ape, and seeing his axe, knew what to expect as he spoke next.

"Kong, last survivor of Skull Island, and Wielder of the Lightning of the Heavens or Sacred Lightning, whichever you prefer." Manda could feel the power radiating from him, along with the power radiating from both Junior and Leo.

"Name's Ebirah, and since you've already met my cousin, then you know what I am," the red crustacean spoke as he stared at Ganimes. "So, you gonna tell us how you ended up like this?"

Manda got up, and looked at Neo and Belvera, then at Caesar and then at Ganimes, and then at the rest of the group as she spoke, deciding to tell them everything. "I am glad to see you again brother…. But…. as I am sure all of you know, I and Ganimes came here because of one of Bagan's Acolytes. No, not one. Two of them."

"Two!?" Neo felt his blood run cold as he muttered that word, remembering how just one of his Acolytes was enough to nearly kill him, Junior and Kong, and successfully kill….. "Two of them…" Leo was starting to shake in anger, and Junior held onto his front leg, cosmic energy traveling into his body as he growled lightly. Kong too gripped his axe tightly, and Ebirah started to shake some as Ganimes looked down, remembering the damage the two had caused. Caesar growled as well, looking at how weak his sister seemed to be.

"Yes Neo, two of them. I knew them once…. They are called Dagahra and Deutalios, and they seek out Atlantis." Manda's voice still sounded low and rough, no doubt because the venom, but she pressed on, coughing at some points. "To understand who they are…. I need to tell you all about Atlantis."

"Manda," Caesar interrupted, putting his hand on her back, "You need to rest, are you sure about this?"

"I am sure brother," Manda coughed some more. "I have to, so they all can know what they are getting into."

"Two of them Junior," Leo whispered, remembering all of the sea dragon's injuries. "If they did that to her…. Can we really fight them?" Junior didn't answer, thinking about the same question as Manda continued to talk.

"Atlantis was once the most advanced civilization the Earth, and I was their Guardian, dedicated to defending them as they grew and progressed throughout the years. And they did so….. because of the Heart. A gift from Mother Earth herself so they said. Many wanted the Heart for themselves…. and I found myself overwhelmed by them all, so much so the humans decided to create life of their own. First they created the Gyaos, but they were not able to do much and thus put into dormancy. Then they made their own guardians." Everyone was silent as they listened to the sea dragon, with Ebirah muttering under his breath upon hearing them creating guardians. "Irys, Barugon, Zedus, Deutalios, and Dagahra were their names, and they were my friends and most trusted allies. We fought in many battles together, and I was so proud to see them all grow, especially Dagahra. But…. each of them suffered from a drawback, and I was so blind in my devotion to protecting Atlantis…. that I failed to realize that one day they would create a perfect guardian, and they would be replaced. And then…. the Atlanteans created the last guardian they would ever need, the Last Hope of Mankind. And since he had no drawbacks…." Manda stopped as she coughed some more, trembling as she thought of what to say next. "My friends decided they had enough…. and they turned on Atlantis. I should've done more… spoke to the humans and pleaded their case, I should've talked them down. I just stood there while the humans sealed away most of them…. except for Dagahra and Deutalios. I cornered them…. and they stood there…. I couldn't do it…. and I let them go, wiping their memories of where Atlantis was, and praying they wouldn't come back…. the Heart was furious at how the humans used it, and thus…. the city and the Last Hope of Mankind went underneath the ocean, and I left… putting myself to sleep until it rose again…. praying that I wouldn't make the same mistake again and that Dagahra and Deutalios somehow would be alright." Manda coughed again, some tears in her eyes as everyone looked at her, not sure of what to say. "I found them trying to get to Atlantis when I was reawakened, and now I know they have sided with Bagan. I wasn't strong enough to stop them… and I think the Dagahra and Deutalios I once knew are gone now…. If they get the Heart of Atlantis… or if Bagan gets it…."

"We'll stop them," Junior interrupted Manda, walking forward with Leo. "Look Manda, we all make mistakes whether we mean to or not…. I still blame myself for my father's death, but sometimes, there's nothing you can do but move forward and learn from them. We will stop them Manda…. No matter what happens." Junior stepped back as Manda looked at him, trembling a bit while she nodded, the group then looking at each other. "I am going to Atlantis, who is with me?"

"I am," Leo said first, looking at his lover and nuzzling him affectionately. "I will go anywhere you go, and I will stop them with you."

"You have my claws and teeth," Anguirus snarled as he scratched the ground and swung his tail, looking up at them fiercely, "I won't back down now that we're in this deep."

"You have my cosmic power," Neo said, his voice brimming with confidence as he stood forward, thinking about his own past and the mistakes he made.

"And my axe," Kong finished, beating his chest as he and the rest of the group stood together after the declaration. "I will avenge Skull Island, and if this gets me closer to Bagan, then I'm going. What about you Caesar? Ganimes?"

"I will stay behind," Caesar answered as he leaned against his staff. "That last attack I did took up much of my energy, and I need time to recharge. I do not want to burden you, and I think it would be best if I stayed here to not only defend our home from any other invaders, but to also help Manda heal. I believe in you all, and I believe that you can defeat these two Acolytes, no matter what." Junior and everyone else silently nodded at this, with a slight look of disappointment and understanding in their eyes, and then looked at the rock crab.

"I will stay too. I am sorry, but I don't know all of you yet, and I am tired out too." Then the group turned to look at Ebirah, who was mostly silent all throughout the conversation.

"It's okay Ebirah," Leo said as he started to move to the entrance of the cave. "I understand you don't want to come… it's ok-" And right on cue, Ebirah moved right in front of the Divine Moth, causing Leo's expression to change to a happy one.

"HOLD ON A MINUTE! There is no way you are leaving me behind again, especially with that guy," Ebirah bellowed as he gestured at Ganimes, the rock crab looking a bit offended. "So yeah, I hope you all have fun putting up with me during this little field trip. Besides, if those stupid starfish were any indication, we got a poser for an Acolyte." Ebirah snapped his claws open and shut, looking angry as everyone looked at each other.

"It's settled then?" Everyone answered Junior's question in different ways, and the young kaiju looked at Leo, holding his front leg and nuzzling his head. "Then we go to Atlantis in a few hours."

And everyone left the cave, some preparing to stay, and some preparing to go.


Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.


Gojira moved through the ocean, looking at the blue pillar off in the distance, his glowing white eyes scanning the seas, listening to the sea life and for the dead. The humans had sent out several warships from all over to the pillar, and a few had been unlucky enough to run into him. He had silenced them before they could alert everyone else, and now he continued his march, moving silently through the waters as a whale skeleton surfaced next to him, calling out to no one in particular. The men from the warships had been added to his collection and as they and the many other souls passively sat, two still tried to rebel, praying they could escape.

"My body…. what has he done to it? Help me! Someone!"

"I refuse to be trapped in this worthless Kaiju anymore! I am Angilas! I will get out!"

The phantom continued onwards, as birds and sea life quickly moved away from him, a blue mist surrounding him as another whale skeleton joined the first one.

Even they knew…. the dead had been disturbed.


Author's Note: Hey everyone, it's me again and I am back with a brand new installment of Masters of the Sea and Death, which got done a lot faster than I thought it would be but anyway here it is. So now the Earth Defenders will go off to Atlantis to stop Dagahra and Deutalios, and while I wanted all of them to go, I decided to cut them down in order to have less characters to focus on, as well as some interesting group dynamics I hope to pull off, especially with the new revelations. And yes, now you will see all that Ghost Gojira can do in this part. Making Bake-Kujira is only one thing. Anyway here is the cast with no new additions.
