The God of Destruction comes to Remnant

An: I'm back with another chapter! For those of you who've been waiting patiently, rejoice! Sorry it took a bit longer to update. Work's got me running ragged and I'm about to start trying out a new writing schedule to see if it helps me update my stories faster.

Now, this is the second to last chapter of the Predator and Maidens arc, so after the next chapter I start a new arc, which will cover another of the girls who will be in Gojira's harem. Who's it going to be? I guess you'll have to find out next chapter, won't you?

Also, kudos to all who figured out my little challenge last chapter! Yes, Blue was modeled after Blue from Jurassic World, and Spike was modeled after Spike from Land Before Time. I'm curious as to what lead you to the conclusion or was it just too obvious?

But for now, I'd like to address some of my reviewers:

-Ani89: No, none of your suggestions offended me in any way, and in fact, most of them I had intended to use anyway. I'm curious as to why you thought I was offended though.

-Story artist: Thank you and I hope you continue to like this story, but I'm afraid that I'm not artistic enough to draw out Gojira's human form. And I gave Blue feathers because I believe most raptors in real life had them, and that's why I gave her feathers. But I might change that because some others have mentioned it and I don't want to forget them later and people point it out.

-Writing Warrior: Thank you, and I'm glad you're enjoying my fic here. And most of what you were looking for happens this chapter.

There are more I'd like to mention, but just know that most of your questions will be answered during the progression of this story.

So without further ado, let's get started! Don't forget to read and review and tell me what you think!

{EDIT: This chapter has been edited to try and better showcase Coco and Velvet were being influenced by Laal's semblance.}


Chapter V: Predator and Maidens 4

Vale, Kingdom of Vale, Remnant; evening; abandoned warehouse

Coco yelled in pain as she slammed into the floor again for what felt like the thirtieth time in the last few hours. Hers and Velvet's fight for survival didn't start well as their opponent charged them right off the bat and overwhelmed them. Her strength helped, but their opponent was on a whole other level. Now, the fashionista had re-broke her leg and had couple of broken ribs as well.

She looked up to glare at her opponent. Never did she think she'd meet another dinosaur Faunus after Gojira, but it was obvious this girl was. She was about Coco's age with long, greyish tan hair that reached her lower back and bright, gold colored eyes. She wore a raggedy brown T-shirt and jeans with no shoes or socks and a red collar around her neck. Her most prominent feature was her long, tannish grey scaled tail swinging behind her.

Her figure was one that had Coco red with jealously, which somehow bled through her concentration. Size DD breast, big, bouncy ass, hourglass body shape. A perfect model's figure. Coco wondered just what she had to do to get such a bod as this girl's.

Her musings were cut short as the girl again kicked her hard in the stomach. She cried out again as blood flowed from her mouth and she was thrown to where Velvet was shakily getting up, a broken arm and one of her rabbit ears limp against her head from being crushed under the girl's monstrous strength when she stepped on it. Their Aura's had long since depleted, but they still refused to quit.

"Ladies, please," Cobalt Yashi stated lightly as he walked up to them. "This is gone on far enough. Rexy here is simply beating the shit out of you two. Won't you take my amnesty and get healed?"

"FUCK YOU!" Coco shouted. "I WON'T QUIT UNTIL I'M DEAD!"

"Y-You say amnesty," Velvet said and got up shakily. It sounded like she was forcing herself not to scream in pain. "B-But we all know what that could entail. I-I for one would rather face Death than such a fate."

"Smart," the girl, Rexy, growled enviously. Her voice was deep, but sensual, so much so that most of the men in the warehouse blushed at her voice and began proclaiming their love for her.

"No, dear Rexy, it's not," Cobalt said silkily. "Death is not something to take lightly."

"O-Of c-course, M-Master," she growled out through gritted teeth; the red collar glowing brightly. "M-M-My m-mistake, s-sir."

"It is quite alright, dear," Cobalt said pleasantly as Rexy growled menacingly at him. To Coco and Velvet, he said, "You'll have to forgive Rexy. She's new, you see. A rebel in all sense of the word. Her training is has hit quite a few road blocks."

"You wouldn't be so cocky if this collar wasn't around my neck," she snarled.

"See?" Cobalt threw his hands up in mock exasperation, a look of amusement written on his face. "So difficult."

Coco was exhaling loudly as she struggled to stay awake. Her vision swam as she swayed on her feet. Velvet stood next her, whimpering as the pain from her ear intensified. Coco put Gianduja to her hip as she steadied herself for the next round. If she was to die today, then she'd die in a blaze of glory with a damn smile gracing her face as all these assholes burned with her. Velvet saw the look in Coco's eyes (Coco's glasses having been broken a long time ago), and looked disheartened, but soon steeled herself and steadied herself as well, preparing for the next assault.

"If we die tonight," Coco recited. "Then we shall die together, as one."

"Let our souls be guided to Paradise with the Maker on High while our earthly bodies return to the Dust which we came," Velvet continued.

Cobalt's eyes widened. He knew that chant. It was a chant from The Great War. A Final Chant. A chant Huntsmen and Huntresses said when they…

When they were about to die.

"What do you two think you're doing?!" he demanded. The others who were Hunters and Huntresses themselves were confused until they realized that they were in a condemned building…filled…with Dust! Shit!

"And know, my brothers and sisters," they chanted at the same time, "I was honored to fight alongside you to war. But tonight, we bid the…farewell!" With that Coco raised Gianduja and manually switched it to its Gatling gun mode and aimed at the far wall…the same wall with most of the Dust containers.

"Stop them!" Cobalt demanded in alarm.

Everyone, even Rexy, bolted forward, but they were too slow. Velvet prepared to use her Semblance when the building SHOOK dangerously, nearly tipping the Dust containers over. Everyone staggered. But before they could recover, the building shook again! Only this time, something made a Dent in the Dust reinforced metal.

Everyone's eyes widened as the shaking began to grow in frequency. The sound of objects hitting the walls with enough forced to not only dent them, but to shake the very building grew louder and louder.

"W-What's going on out there?" one guy wondered aloud.

Suddenly, they all heard a loud screaming coming from outside. It wasn't the 'scared, running for the hills' type of screams. They were the 'blood curdling, pain filled death' screams. Coco and Velvet looked to the large hanger doors on the other side of the warehouse in shock and fear, wondering just what's going on, on the other side.

"V-Velvet…?" Coco asked, her hands shaking a bit. "Can you hear anything other than screaming?"

Velvet nodded hesitantly. "A-A few people s-screaming to 'Kill him' o-or 'Stay away,'" she answered.

"And I hear someone growling 'Out of my way, insects,'" Rexy mused as she turned towards the voices. Coco and Velvet were slightly confused at the 'insect' comment, but then they remembered someone they just met recently that also used the word 'insect' as an insult.

However, before they could even attempt to hope, the sound of tearing metal resounded through the warehouse. The occupants looked up to see a guy falling through a large hole in the wall! The guy fell, boneless to the floor, and the terrorists and the two huntresses in training gasped at the sight of the giant metal fragment impaling the man all the way out his back. A pool of blood began to form around him.

Coco and Velvet stared in horror at the dying man, unable to do more than watch as his life blood flowed out of his grievous wound. Cobalt was in shock. That was Camo! He was one of his strongest subordinates! Even Rexy struggled against him!

Their shock was short lived yet again, as a loud, tearing sound came from the doors. They all turned their attention to the door just in time to see both 3-ton Dust reinforced armored steel hanger doors ripped off their hinges and thrown into the ocean with relative ease! And there…standing in the open entryway…was Gojira.

And he looked absolutely furious.


Moments earlier

As he left the two Faunus, he wasted no time in using his new found speed to race to the docks. He wasn't concerned with not knowing where it was. He followed his nose, easily catching the scent of the sea. Turning towards the scent, he channeled atomic energy into his legs and raced forward like a lightning bolt, blurring to everyone's sight as he weaved his way through the crowds until he reached his destination.

Once he reached the docks, he caught two very familiar scents; one rich lavender scent and the other a sweet, honey scent. Coco and Velvet. He growled, and bolted after their scents, tracking them to the warehouse the blonde described. In front were a bunch of humans, all with a red sun tattoo on their persons.

So, they were nothing but corpses now.

He snarled and ran at the first guy he saw. He grabbed the unsuspecting bug and flung him into the warehouse wall, head first. The guy hit the warehouse with enough force to shake the building violently. Thankfully for the guy, his Aura saved his head.

Gojira then systematically attacked the other men. A large, burly man screamed out, "Kill him!" but it was no use. Gojira didn't let them get the chance. He smacked them into the warehouse as he stalked towards the building. One idiot tried to stab him with a long blade, but Gojira channeled atomic energy into his arm and grabbed the blade, breaking it easily. He reached back and charged his fist with atomic energy. He punched the guy so hard that he flew at the door, making a dent in the metal as his skull shattered.

This led to chaos, and everyone else following their comrade in death. Gojira wasted no time in sending them flying back into the building with an atomically charged fist to the face. He was annoyed how the energy kept discharging from his fist like a nuclear pulse, but it helped in shattering their Auras so he didn't give it much thought.

The burly guy tried bolting at him with a wicked looking axe, but Gojira's tail swept and destroyed it before slamming the guy into the ground. Another guy tried attacking, but Gojira punched him away. "S-Stay back!" one screamed, who was in the path of the enraged Kaiju.

"Out of my way insects!" he snarled and slammed his boot down on the guy's head, crushing his skull and turning the insides to paste. The burly man ran at him again, but the Daikaiju had lost his patience. He grabbed the man and threw him through the building, shattering the metal and leaving a gaping hole high in the wall.

The King of the Monsters scoffed as he walked up to the large doors barring his path. He growled. He was tiring of these minor annoyances. He reached the doors and, after charging his arms with atomic energy, easily ripped the doors off and threw them behind him.

He glared ominously at the scene before him. Over a hundred men and women were gathered inside the warehouse, centered around a group of four. A plain looking man with a sword strapped to his back. A girl around the same age as his current form with gold eyes and a scaled tail. And Coco and Velvet. Gojira snarled loudly at the injuries they had sustained, the scent of their blood only served to enrage him further.

"Now then…" he growled, making every occupant of the building stiffen in terror. "Which one of you is named Cobalt?"

Coco and Velvet stared in shock. It WAS Gojira! The two huntresses in training might have breathed a sigh of relief it wasn't for the fact he was staring down the bulk of the Red Suns organization.

Cobalt gritted his teeth and looked piercingly at the Faunus. "Cobalt? That would be me," he said coolly. "Who might you be?"

The radioactive dinosaur Faunus snarled. "Your death!" he growled. Coco and Velvet gasped at the proclamation while the goons around them began shouting at Gojira.

"You animal! How dare you claim you can kill the fastest man alive!" one woman shouted.

"You must be braindead alongside being stupid, mutt!" a guy sneered.

"Get ready to die, you dirty animal! Because you can't take us all on by yourself!" another shouted.

"You all are nothing but ants fighting the damn sun!" he growled again. "Now step aside!"

[Play Bodies by Drowning Pool]

"You bastard animal!" another person screamed and several members ran towards him. Gojira stood calmly as they surrounded him. They jumped him, but his tail suddenly shot out and whacked them away. The goons cried out in pain as they were tossed into the air and slammed into the walls hard.

"You bastard!" Another screamed, and the rest ganged up on him. The Kaiju growled in annoyance and raised his clawed hand up, charging atomic energy into the appendage. The first goon reached him, and he lashed out, clawing the woman's face. She screeched in agony as the nuclear charged claw slashed through her Aura and permanently scarred her face. Gojira whirled around and nailed another guy, but this guy wasn't as lucky as the woman because the claw connected with his neck, and the sharpened claws cut through the man's neck cleanly.

Another tried to jump over him to get behind him, but Gojira grabbed the person by the leg and slammed the person down on the floor hard enough to crack the concrete. Gojira didn't stop there because he continued to slam the person into the ground before throwing him into another terrorist, sending them flying. One woman raced towards him, but he charged his fist with atomic energy. He punched her hard in the face, decimating her skull, and sending blood everywhere.

He turned around to strike another, but a man jumped on his back and proceeded to place the Kaiju into a chokehold. "Got ya!" he shouted. Gojira tried to remove him, but more began piling on top of him, attempting to stop his struggling. Rexy growled. That was how they subdued her when they tried to place the control collar on her. It was only a matter of time before this new Faunus tired out.

Gojira, however, was nowhere near tired. He growled in irritation as more goons joined the dog pile, and he began channeling atomic energy again. His spikes glowed bright blue, and his eyes flashed blue as he flooded his body with the energy. He let out a loud roar as the energy discharged, shattering the goons' Auras and sending them flying into the air. Some were literally bleeding out of every orifice and few others were simply dead as the pulse of nuclear energy simply washed over them and destroyed their internal organs altogether. However, most were lucky enough to just be knocked out from the force of the energy released. One however was only dazed and shook it off quickly. He raced towards Gojira, but the Daikaiju merely stopped roaring and shoved his clawed hand effortlessly through the man's chest, destroying his heart when he closed his fist.

[End Bodies by Drowning Pool]

Gojira pulled his arm out of the man's chest and looked around at the chaos he had unleashed. Most of the Red Sun members were now either dead or dying, while a few were simply unconscious. He looked up at the last four, and much to his utter confusion, he felt his heart twist painfully at the sight of Velvet's and Coco's horrified looks. He shook it off and glared at the other two. The woman looked intrigued while the man looked annoyed.

"That was rather rude, don't you think?" Cobalt asked plainly.

"Do you think I give a shit?!" Gojira growled lowly, making the four stiffen again. "All I'm here for is to kill you for what you intend to do to Coco and Velvet! So either die like the bug you are, or try and fight like a Kaiju and DIE like the insignificant BUG that you are! Either suits me just fine!" Atomic energy forcibly discharged from every pore of his body and left a crater below him.

Cobalt hissed in distaste, and Coco and Velvet felt dread creep into their beings. "I see Darwin's still hung up on that. I told him there was the possibility I wasn't going that route; apparently, my warnings were wasted on him."

The girls looked to Cobalt in shock. "Y-You…W-What were you planning before our deal?!" Coco demanded shakily, still hung over seeing Gojira kill so many people so remorselessly.

"He was planning on raping you two!" Gojira answered before Cobalt could open his mouth. "His little pet Darwin seemed very adamant on having Coco for himself!" Gojira growled furiously. "Now I don't care what happens to anyone else, but those two have somehow gained my eternal respect, and any who dare harm them in any way, ANSWERS TO ME!"

Coco and Velvet felt their hearts flutter at Gojira's statement about them; but their minds quickly latched onto what he had first said. Betrayal crossed their features as Coco's face went red with rage and Velvet horrified expression went pale as well. Cobalt looked to them and tried to placate them.

"Now, now girls," he tried, "I never intended to…"

"YOU BASTARD! JACKASS! PERVERT! RAPIST! SADISTIC!" Coco screeched at decibels that impressed even Gojira. "BACK STABBING! LYING!" She screamed shrilly, unable to continue to form words. Her betrayal at her once idol had already ignited her anger and this new tidbit of information set her over the edge.

How dare he make a bet with them when he wasn't even going to honor it?! Her Aura began to flare, but Rexy saw this and quickly shot forward to knock the stupid girl out. However, just before she could reach Coco, and before Coco could send them all to oblivion, Gojira appeared in front of Rexy, fist outstretched. She tried to slow down and dodge, but Gojira proved faster and thrusted his fist at her face. She threw her arms up to take the blow.

The hit connected, and Rexy bit her lip to keep from crying out in pain. It felt like she was fending off a horde of Goliaths at the same time! But worse! Gojira, meanwhile, gritted his teeth as he felt the atomic energy wanting to discharge from his fist again. He wanted these two to suffer for what they did, and a pulse of nuclear energy destroying everything about them wasn't suffering! That was a swift mercy! Gritting his teeth again, he willed the energy to stay where it was. To continue strengthening his punch as he pushed harder against the Faunus woman.

She couldn't stop herself from crying out in pain as she was pushed further backwards and felt the bridal bones in her arms began to not break, but shatter. Finally, she couldn't bear the pain anymore, and jumped away, sending Gojira's fist into the ground, creating a massive crater as he lost control over his atomic energy and it discharged. He growled. He cursed his new body again. His control over his powers was now just shot to hell with it!

Cobalt shook his head in slight irritation. "Alright then," he mumbled. "Rexy, dear!" he called out louder. Rexy turned to him with a glare. "It appears our charade is up! Go wild!"

Rexy frowned. "As you wish," she growled, slightly excited in fighting his new guy despite the reasons behind it. She turned to Gojira and said, "Nothing personal, my brother, but I cannot disobey the bastard's orders. At least I can tell you who shall be killing you tonight. I was always referred to as Rexy. A T-Rex Faunus," she introduced.

Gojira scoffed. "I think you're confused on who's doing the killing, ant," he said condescendingly. "But if we must do this, then I am called Gojira, and I'm a Godzillasaurus Faunus."

She frowned. "I've never heard of that species," she muttered. "And I've been around the smartest minds the world had to offer when it comes to dinosaurs."

"We're rarer than rare," he muttered back. "Now…" He cracked his neck as he rotated his head from side to side. "Are the introductions done?"

Rexy frowned. "Sure. Now…Submit," she said flaring her Aura, and instantly, Coco and Velvet felt their eyes widen as they fell to their knees, their bodies seeming to act on their own accord. Cobalt himself felt his legs shake slightly, but he held strong.

Gojira however…was silent for a moment, out of sheer disbelief. "Did you…" he said in bewilderment, his eyes wide. "…Just…try to…FORCE me to SUBMIT TO YOU?!" he roared angrily as his face contorted into a furious snarl once more. The others flinched away while Rexy did that, but still looked very shocked that he wasn't falling to the floor! No one could resist her Semblance! Not since the damn human rats unlocked her Semblance after they caught her! NO one!

"H-How are you not submitting?!" she demanded. "You should be bending to my will right now!"

Gojira growled at her. "And why's that?!" he snarled.

"I am a Queen!" she proclaimed. "A ruler of all! Someone who deserves respect! Everyone should bow to me!"

[Play Godzilla Theme "Epic Rock" Cover/Remix by Little V, Gojira's theme song for this fic]

Gojira's face suddenly turned into a sinister smile as he growled, "I know why your Semblance won't work."

"Why?!" she snarled.

"Because even a Queen…" Gojira immediately vanished and appeared above her, his leg shining with malevolent blue energy. Rexy looked up in shock.

'Such speed!' she thought.

"…Must bow to a KING!" he finished with a snarl and brought his leg down on Rexy, who barely dodged the blow. The kick connected with the ground and caused a crater about 8 ft. around to from. Coco and Velvet were startled at the destruction, while Cobalt stared incredulously at the Faunus responsible.

"And let me tell you, bitch," he hissed, "out of all the mortal kings on this earth, NONE are greater than I!" He jumped towards her and lashed out with a roundhouse kick. She ducked under it, but had to roll away from him when his tail raced towards her. He used his tail to kick off the ground and land on his feet.

He closed the distance between him and Rexy and placed five strong punches to her sternum and threw a kick at her. However, since he was not used to a human's flexibility, his kick went higher than he anticipated and impacted her chin. She grunted as she was lifted off the ground, while Gojira was thrown off balance because of his miscalculation. However, he quickly acted on instinct and lashed his tail out to propel him into the air. He capitalized on this and twirled, sending his foot back down on Rexy's head.

But Rexy had other plans. When she finally stopped seeing stars, she saw Gojira trying to kick her again. She growled. This guy thought he was better than her! She was going to prove him wrong. She quickly flipped in the air and met his kick with her own. The two kicks connected with a boom of thunder. The attacks struggled against one another, but it was apparent to all that Gojira had the superior strength as he pushed down and sent Rexy back to the ground.

She landed and pushed back off the ground and jumped back at Gojira, landing a kick to the Kaiju's stomach. He grunted as he grabbed onto her leg. She made a noise of annoyance and sent her leg back to the ground, hoping to throw him. He simply landed and tossed her leg aside carelessly, causing her to lose her balance. He sent a powerful step kick to her stomach. He nearly lost his balance again, but quickly recovered by balancing on his tail

She gasped as she stumbled forward, but quickly recovered and sent two powerful step kicks of her own. Gojira dodged them, and Rexy growled and sent a powerful kick he couldn't dodge to his side. However, he grabbed her foot, but she jumped into the air and sent another kick at his face. He grunted again in annoyance as he was sent staggering backwards, and Rexy appeared again to strike his legs, sending him falling on his back. His spikes imbedded themselves into the concrete, and Gojira growled in annoyance again.

'Dammit! I certainly have a human body now, but my tail's throwing me off balance,' he thought. While he would deny it with his dying breath, he had a…slight (only slight!) interest in human martial arts. He remembered the times that some of the human males who gained his respect practicing the moves, and he couldn't help but be fascinated with the techniques. He went so far as to replicate them when he fought his own enemies.

Most humans thought it was funny, but his attempts helped him keep his title of King of the Monsters more times than not.

'Alright then,' he growled silently. 'If I can't rely on my martial arts at the moment, I'll just have to do this the old-fashioned way. When in doubt…' He jumped back to his feet just as Rexy closed in on him, her fist drawn back to punch him. He stood defiantly as he gathered atomic energy into his tail and right fist. The two appendages glowed light blue as Rexy threw her punch. Gojira ducked under the strike by bending forward at the waist. 'Trust your instincts!'

He quickly spun on his heels and lashed out with his tail, which impacted Rexy's chest. She screamed in pain as the atomic energy discharged and fully depleted her Aura whilst sending her flying into a wall lined with Dust containers. She hit them with enough force to shatter the barrels and send clouds up Dust flying into the air.

Coco's and Velvet's eyes widened as they saw the Dust fly into the air. They had been in awe at the fight, watching their new friend fight to save them (again) and not even looking winded fighting the one person who nearly killed them! But once she flew into the Dust containers, they panicked, thinking the whole building was about to go up in flames. Cobalt, however, gritted his teeth as he watched the fight play out.

Rexy got up shakily and groaned. She placed a hand on her head as she tried to steady herself. She looked around and paled as she saw Gojira running at her with his fist poised to punch her! She panicked. She couldn't move as she barely had the strength to stand right then. She could only stand there as the Godzillasaurus Faunus came closer and closer to her.

But suddenly, she was struck with inspiration. Using one of Gojira's tactics, she braced her tail against the floor and pushed. It didn't work as well as when Gojira did it, because her tail lacked the sufficient strength it took to lift her body. However, luck was on her side as she just barely dodged the fist as it flew at her, grazing her control collar.

That's when it happened. Gojira felt his atomic energy discharge from his fist once more, but he suddenly became overwhelmed with a familiar sensation. His eyes widened. Radiation!

Subconsciously, he began drawing it in through his pores, absorbing it into his bloodstream. The Dust cloud around the two became noticeably smaller as the particles of Dust flew at Gojira and were absorbed into his skin. And just as the atomic energy discharged from Gojira's fist, it wasn't a wide spread, near invisible shock wave of atomic energy like before.

It was a long, pure blue beam that tore through the wall like tissue paper.

The beam traveled a good half mile across the city before it hit a building, destroying it and set it ablaze! The area at which the beam traveled also burst into flames as explosions rocked the area. Rexy cried out and stumbled backwards, the resulting explosion of energy from Gojira causing her to lose her balance again.

[End Godzilla Theme "Epic Rock" Cover/Remix by Little V]

"Holy shit!" Coco exclaimed, shocked beyond disbelief. She stared at the destruction Gojira made in shocked amazement.

"W-What was that?!" Velvet asked loudly.

Gojira looked at his fist in shock. 'T-that was like my Atomic breath!' he thought. He brought his fist to his face. 'How is that possible?!' His mind went back to when he remembered sensing radiation. He looked at the remaining clouds of Dust around him and mused quietly, 'So, this is Dust, huh? Interesting. It gives off a slight radioactive charge. Is this what caused that atomic…beam I just created?'

Before he could think further on the subject, his senses warned him of an incoming attack, and he quickly brought his hand up to catch a serrated scimitar blade aimed at his head. He didn't even flinch was the blade connected with his skin and tried to cut through it. Cobalt frowned.

"Tough skin you've got there," he commented.

Gojira snarled. "Let's see how yours compares!" he said and tried to crush the blade in his hands. Cobalt quickly snapped out a foot to Gojira's knee, making him stumble slightly and allowing Cobalt to reclaim his sword.

Cobalt slashed at Gojira's torso, but Gojira tilted away from the slash. Cobalt responded by slashing his blade in the same direction, but Gojira ducked under it and jumped away, inhaling through his nose and absorbing the Dust in the air. The Dust cloud immediately gathered around him and was absorbed through his skin.

Cobalt narrowed his eyes. "How are you doing that?"

Gojira smirked. "My secret," he said. He frowned and growled, "Now stop talking and start fighting!" Gojira fell into a stance he saw a Lieutenant from the American army he had come to respect perform, presumably from a discipline called Maui Tai.

Cobalt sighed blandly. "Very well then, young man." Cobalt fell into a stance, his sword held over his head and angled downward.

Cobalt struck first. He vanished in a blur and reappeared in front of Gojira. He tried to stab the Faunus in the face. Gojira easily moved his head to the side and avoided the deadly strike. Cobalt wasn't done, however, and began to stab at a furious pace; he was so fast that Coco and Velvet couldn't even see his arm move anymore.

Gojira could though. He dodged every strike as easily as turning his head. Cobalt frowned and pulled back, only for Gojira to land a step kick to his gut. Cobalt grunted in pain as he was thrown back. Gojira overstepped, however, and slipped. He cursed and slammed his tail on the concrete sending him spinning into the air. This proved to be very good timing as Cobalt reappeared under him and slashed horizontally.

Gojira twirled his tail and spun, sending his foot down on Cobalt's head. The experienced Hunter brought his sword up to take the blow. Gojira frowned and slammed his other foot on the blade as well. Cobalt gritted his teeth and twisted his sword, making the Kaiju slide off his blade.

Gojira growled and twisted in the air, sending his tail crashing into Cobalt's shoulder. He groaned in pain as he suddenly vanished and reappeared above Gojira. Gojira turned and glared at him, but before he could do anything, Cobalt slashed him across his chest. His blow sent Gojira tumbling though the air and slamming into the concrete with enough force to create a crater and shake the ground slightly.

Cobalt smiled and vanished once more and reappeared next to Gojira as he was beginning to stand. Gojira looked up in annoyance as Cobalt slashed at his face, sending his head with the side forcibly. Cobalt slashed at his head again, sending it flying the other direction. Cobalt did this three, or more times before he sent a stab to Gojira's chest, which sent him skidding backwards for a moment.

Gojira growled at the man until he felt something roll down his chest. He looked down and saw his shirt beginning to soak. He reached down and placed his fingers at the hole in his shirt. He brought his hand up to see it was soaked with…

"Blood," he muttered in shock. He was bleeding…

"So, my suspicions were right," Cobalt said calmly. "You're not using Aura. Heck, I don't even think you have yours unlocked yet."

Velvet gasped. She totally forgot Gojira didn't have his Aura unlocked! How could she have forgotten that?! Velvet's anxiety grew. She hoped Gojira would make it through this…

Coco was just as shocked. How could anyone fight off so many guys, k-kill so many without Aura? And what was that power Gojira was using if it wasn't Aura?!

Gojira growled lowly. "So, what of it?" he snarled.

"I'm interested in you," Cobalt explained. "I'm not sure what that power of yours is, but it will benefit the Red Suns greatly. So how's about a bet?"

Coco and Velvet stiffened at the mention of a bet, but Gojira wasn't buying into it. "Shut up and fight, you worthless bug!" he shouted and raced at the damn human who dared to challenge him. But Cobalt vanished. He reappeared behind Gojira and channeled his Aura into his sword. He slashed, causing Gojira to shout in pain as the blade sliced through his skin. He tried to lash out at Cobalt with his tail, but the Hunter vanished again and reappeared to Gojira's side, leaving a gash in the Kaiju's arm before disappearing again.

"You are foolish," Cobalt whispered, reappearing to cut Gojira across his chest. Gojira snarled in pain. "You should have taken my bet." Another cut appeared on Gojira's back. "It was a shame though." Three more cuts appeared on the Kaiju's chest. "You could have been a part of a greater cause." Gojira was kicked in the head and sent stumbling back. "But I have no need of Faunus who are not in the mood to help themselves." Several cuts appeared on Gojira's tail, making him stop and snarl. "You could have been great, you know. I have a goal that you could have helped greatly in, and at the end you could have been the king you claim to be for real." Two deep cuts appeared on Gojira's shoulders, but the Predator didn't move. Instead, his spikes began to glow bright blue, which seemed to glow even brighter now. "But now," a sigh was heard. "You die."

Cobalt raced towards Gojira, but suddenly, the Faunus turned on his heel sharply and held his arm out, Cobalt didn't see it in time and was effectively clotheslined by the Monster King. Cobalt gasped loudly as he was lifted off the ground for a few moments, before he fell to back to Earth hard. Before he could get up, a foot slammed down on his sternum, breaking his ribs. He screamed. He looked up and saw that Gojira's wounds were steaming, slowly closing themselves up. His eyes widened in shock, as did Coco's and Velvet's.

"I don't just 'claim' to be a king, Bug!" Gojira growled, kicking the man up. He punched him hard in the stomach, making the man scream again as he was sent tumbling across the concrete. "I KNOW I am a King! Unlike you, who claims to be the fastest man alive, when you're really the slowest!" Coco and Velvet looked confused as Gojira continued. "Your power over gravity is impressive, I'll give you that, bug, but it's nothing I haven't dealt with before."

Coco and Velvet's eyebrows shot up and looked to Cobalt in shock. "You know?" Gojira mused. "I would have left you be, let you go what you wanted, but you tried to intentionally harm two people I respect. I don't tolerate that." Cobalt tried to stand, but Gojira broke his leg. He screamed loudly. "Now you pay the price." He broke the other leg.

Cobalt screamed out loud. Once he was done screaming, he looked up at Gojira. "T-Then do it," he murmured. "Finish me. That's my price, right? You wanted to kill me correct? For attempting to harm them?" He tilted his head towards the girls.

Coco and Velvet stiffened up and looked horrified. Gojira noticed this, and felt his heart constrict again. Velvet's face looked so much like Azusa's did when he did something that scared her. It was a look that he had come to not like seeing. He had grown accustom to Azusa's bright, cheerful look, so much so that anything less hurt to see.

Velvet shared that with Azusa as well, it seemed.

He let loose a low growling sigh when something caught his eye. He smirked darkly. "No," he said, shocking the occupants. "I'm rather…bored now. So, I'll be getting Coco and Velvet out of here and to safety." He walked off and said, "I leave your fate up to her."

Cobalt was confused about what he meant until a dark, sensual growl reached his ears: "You thought you could control me, huh, Human?!" He paled when he looked around to see Rexy's beautiful and angry face, her neck an ugly shade of red but no control collar.

After she had regained her bearings after being knocked to the ground by…whatever Gojira did, she quickly noticed her collar was missing (and her neck burnt to hell, but hey, the collar was off at least). Her eyes widened as she tried to seek out the one responsible, only to catch the end of his fight with Cobalt. She watched, amazed when he finally got the upper hand against the man she knew was a skilled Huntsman, so much so in fact that he could have qualified to be a professor at Beacon Academy. She was sure he would have killed Cobalt, but his sudden change of mind confused her. Didn't he come to kill the man? Why would he leave him be? But when he said he'd leave his fate in 'her' hands, it clicked. She grinned maliciously.

Perhaps…Gojira was worthy of his title of King.

"Well, guess what?! The tables have turned! Now YOU'LL get to know how it feels to do another's biding! So, do us all a favor and SUBMIT to my will!" she snarled, and Cobalt was hit with the full power of her Semblance.

Gojira, meanwhile, didn't look back as he walked over to Coco and Velvet, who were gazing at him in shock, horror, awe, and everything else in between. The Kaiju also noticed that their eyes were glossy again. He growl-sighed again as he gently (much to their shock) picked them both up, one in each arm, and braced them across his shoulders.

He walked out of the warehouse, avoiding dead bodies and pools of blood as he went. Coco and Velvet, from their view points, saw Rexy demanding something from Cobalt, but they were too caught up in their own thoughts to hear what was said.

'Gojira, he…He saved Coco…He saved us again…' Velvet was thinking. 'B-But…All that blood…! I-I…'

'He didn't even look remorseful,' Coco thought in a daze. 'He…He just cut them up…He just butchered them like cattle!'

Gojira, meanwhile, was fuming himself. 'That was pathetic! I should have destroyed all of them easily! Dammit! This human body is going to be a pain to get use to!'

He walked a decent ways away from the warehouse, and gently placed Velvet and Coco on their feet. He steadied them and looked them over, biting down his anger as he examined their wounds. "Are…you two…okay?" he asked, unsure of what to even say.

"Ok? OK?!" Coco screamed, finally returning to reality. "Did you seriously just ask that?! I just watched you slaughter almost everyone in that warehouse! You…You KILLED ALL of them!" She might have said more, but she shifted her weight to her broken leg, and a sharp pain shot up her leg. She gasped painfully and fell, but Gojira was quick to grab her and steady her. She tried to pull away, but Gojira was naturally stronger than her. She began to hiccup as she tried to force down her sobs, her strength failing as the pain in from her wounds and the weight of seeing so many people dying finally getting to her as she grabbed Gojira's shirt and tried not to sob. "S-So m-much b-b-blood…"

Velvet shook with silent tears as well. She could still see the pain filled faces of the men and women that Gojira mercilessly cut down. She cradled her broken arm and whimpered, "Why?"

"Hmm?" Gojira looked to Velvet in confusion.

"W-Why did you k-k-kill them?" she asked a bit louder.

He tilted his head at her. "They were attempting to harm you and Coco," he said as if it was obvious.

"B-But was it n-necessary to k-k-k-kill them?" she asked again.

Gojira didn't even hesitate. "Yes." Both girls looked to him in horror.

"You didn't have to kill them!" Coco shouted in his ear.

He suppressed a wince at the volume. "What would you have me do?!" he hissed.

"Break their bones! Knock them out! A-Anything besides killing!" Coco shouted.

"Y-You'll be making it harder for other Faunus," Velvet said quietly. "Most people will use this as an excuse to say Faunus are just as violent as many claim. More Faunus will be attacked. More people getting hurt…"

"I don't care about any of that!" Gojira snarled, making the girls look at him. "You two are the only ones I've come to respect here! So as long as you two are safe, the rest of this land can BURN for all I care!"

"Y-You…YOU BASTARD!" Coco snarled at him. "You don't even care if innocents die?! You'd let them fall over dead if you didn't respect them?!"

"In a heartbeat!"

"WHY?! What has anyone ever done to you that you'd be so callous to everyone else but us?!"

"BECAUSE THEY WERE ALWAYS CALLOUS TO ME!" he roared, making the girls flinch in terror. Gojira noticed this, and calmed down. He growl-sighed again. "They've always hated me. Human society," he said quieter. "Even when I left them alone, never once bothered them, they tried to kill me." The girls looked at him in shock.

"Truthfully, I don't care what about humans," he continued. "I've only ever hated their species because they hated me back. And for what? Because my father destroyed their cities and killed many when he believed my mother and myself were dead?" He huffed in annoyance. He looked to Coco and Velvet and said, "Since I came into this world, everyone in it has tried to kill me for the sins of my father. You two, as well as a small hand full of humans, are the only ones that have proved to me that the human race isn't full of worthless rats."

Velvet's heart went out to Gojira, feeling bad that he had to live with his father's sins weighing down on him, and how that had colored his view of the world. Coco winced in his arms. Gojira was one of the Faunus whose life only had one constant: violence. She felt some sympathy for him, but she wasn't sure on what to think of him anymore. She looked up to his orange eyes and asked, "S-So you don't regret killing those men?" she asked.

Velvet looked at him at the question. Gojira grimaced at them. Their looks were eating him up. "I…I…" he tried to think of something to say. "I guess I…I guess I regret that you two had to watch it, but…no. No, I don't. Not after what they planned to do to you two."

The answer hurt them deeply, but his concern for them was touching. "R-Regardless, t-thank you again for saving us, Gojira," Velvet said with a small smile. "B-But c-could you do one s-small favor for me from now on?"

He looked at her. "What do you want?"

She smiled softly at him, and Gojira could barely stop the flinch at how much she looked like Azusa at that moment. "Please…don't kill again. Don't fall into that cycle of hatred again. I-I know that humans h-haven't been kind to you, but…Please try and not kill again."

Gojira did flinch this time. "I can't make that promise," he said quietly. "And…right now, my power is out of my control. Right now, I'm shocked that those bugs back there weren't worse off, my control is so bad right now."

Coco and Velvet's eyes widened again. Coco, however, thought of something else. "T-Then…" she gulped, hoping she could word her next words properly. "Maybe…could you promise us you won't k-k-k-kill…un-unless it's absolutely necessary?" she asked. "L-Like only when I-it's a last resort?"

Velvet looked to Gojira with a hopeful expression on her face. Coco herself looked at him, seemingly desperate that he agree. Gojira looked slightly pained. It was hard to resist their looks. But in the end, he didn't want them to hate him. That realization hit him hard. He didn't want the only two…friends he had in this crazy world to hate him.

"I…I think I can do that," he managed.

The girls smiled at him, and he felt the pain that coursed through him at their earlier expressions vanish slightly. But before any more could be said, they heard sirens. Coco and Velvet looked around frantically while Gojira simply looked around in boredom. Coco turned to Gojira and said, "Go."

He looked at her. "Huh?"

"Go. That way," she said pointing between two warehouses. "We'll take care of the cops. We'll vouch for you."

He frowned at her. He wasn't about to leave them to deal with those idiots again, not if his last encounter with them. But Velvet walked up and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Please," she begged. "We'll be fine. I…I think I hear one of our teachers from Beacon coming as well. She'll take care of us. Just…please go. We'll take care of everything. Trust us. Like we've decided to trust you."

That made every thought in Gojira's head freeze. No human…none save for Azusa and the American Lieutenant…had ever placed their trust in him. Everyone else trusted him about as far as they could throw him (and they couldn't even lift him). To have these two trust him was…well, it saying a lot to the King of the Monsters.

"…Very well," he whispered. He handed Coco over to Velvet, who steadied the fashionista as Gojira took a step back. "…I…I trust you two," he said. He started turning around and walked down the alley that Coco pointed out. "Farewell."

"Wait!" Gojira stopped and turned his head to look at the girls. "Will we see you again?" Coco asked. Gojira looked at her for a moment, before smirking and turning back around. He held his hand up and waved, a silent way of saying 'maybe.'

That was enough for the girls as they smiled at his retreating form. They turned around to face the cops, only to pale as the enraged and worried visage of Glynda Goodwitch came running towards them.

"Well, this sucks," Coco moaned. Velvet whimpered in agreement.


With Gojira

Gojira simply walked aimlessly through the alley and stayed straight as he walked around the Vale harbor. His thoughts were on Coco and Velvet, wondering if they were safe. He trusted them, he honestly did, but their injuries would be a problem for them. And then there was the promise he made them…

'Why did I do that?' he wondered. 'They resemble Azusa and Biollante sure, but…was that the real reason I caved in so easily?' His thoughts were interrupted when he ran into someone.

"Hey! What's the big deal?!" a man shouted as he stood to glare at the person who ran into him, only to pale when he saw a tall Faunus glaring at him.

Oh, and did he mention that there was BLOOD coating the Faunus's arms?!

Gojira glared at the man. "Out of my way, insect," he growled. "I'm not in the mood to deal with pests like you."

The man paled. "S-Sure thing!" he stuttered. "No prob.! D-Don't let me keep you!" He wasn't about to deal with a killer! He was a courier not a thug! He ran the opposite direction as fast as he could.

Gojira stared at the retreating man's back for what felt like a long time before he growl-sighed inaudibly. He began to walk again, but he suddenly kicked something. He blinked and looked down at a silver suitcase. Confused, he picked it up and opened it, revealing several multi-colored cards. 'Lien,' he remembered. He saw Coco and Velvet use these cards to pay for his clothes and meal, respectively.

He looked at the suitcase, then to the retreating man's back, then back to the suitcase. He hummed in thought.

'Well, I guess I'm going to be stuck here for a while…so I guess I'm going to need some currency to get by in this strange land,' he thought.


An: Well, that concludes chapter 5! Next chapter will be the last of the Predator and Maidens arc. 'Till next time!
