Chapter 3: The Kaiju Court
One by one, all of Godzilla's allies rose from the ground across the world. Humanity watched as dozens more of these gigantic creatures crawled out of the Earth. More pressure was put on Apex to finish it's first jaeger. Alexander Wells, the new CEO of Apex, has made it his job to begin manufacturing more jaegers since new deposits of unobtainium have been found deep within the hollow pockets of the Earth. One of these pockets has been discovered in the Philippines. Wells, along with a team of scientists from the secret organization Monarch, have arrived at the opening.
As they fly over the mountain range, Wells spots the opening. A uranium mine has collapsed into a deep chasm below. Geiger counters on the helicopter begin to go crazy as they get closer.
"We can't land near it, i'll try to find a spot to put us down."
The pilot banks right and flies over an opening in the trees. After a soft landing, the team unloads their gear. Large boxes and crates loaded with scientific materials, containers for potential samples of tissue, and bulky radiation suits. Wells suits up with the rest of the team and begins to move towards the chasm.
About an hour or so of walking they arrive at the mouth of the hole. Wells looks down into the abyss below. One scientist by the name of Dr. Walker Curtis pulls him back.
"In order to get down we have to rappel. Strap up and wait for one of us to go down first."
After all members of the research team are lowered down, they begin to move towards the radiation. Along the way the team spots large chunks and pieces of drilling parts and dropped chunks of uranium. The closer they get to the radiation, the more the tunnel lowers itself into the ground. Soon, the team's geiger counters max out. But it's not on a pile of raw unobtainium, it's on something else.
A bone. A small but noticeably sized bone. Pure white in color and fixed to a rock. Dr. Curtis calls everyone over.
"What's the matter?"
"Look at this."
Wells looks at the bone. He taps it with his hand. Just as the rest of the team arrives at the bone, Dr. Curtis moves deeper into the cave. He sees another bone. And another, and another. Soon a large line of bones rose in front of him. He moves his light upwards and spots it.
A pelvis. But that's not all. Attached to it is a rib cage. The tail bones form a spinal cord and it leads to a head. But something is very odd about the head shape. The teeth, the eye holes, the reptilian shaped jaw. It looks like Godzilla's. The team found Dagon's skeleton. Perfectly preserved and buried in stone. But he didn't die here, he died in prehistoric Florida. How odd.
"It's a skeleton… and perfectly preserved."
Well's eyes light up. He could do so much with this thing, but he has just the idea with what to do with it.
"We'll take it."
It took almost a week, but in the island nation of Cuba, Godzilla and the reformed Kaiju Court assembled. Godzilla stands atop a hill as he addresses his old friends.
"Hello, my friends. It has been a while since I last saw all of you. The world, if you have noticed, has changed. Mankind has taken over the planet. And with them they have reawakened the Mutos. I alone cannot defend our rule, or the planet, from their attacks. So, I am tasking you all to go to a "Country" as they call them, and defend it from the Mutos. Do anything and everything to stop them from breeding. I will search for who, or what, is causing them to keep coming."
A murmur of agreement flows through the crowd. Godzilla looks down at his feet. He can't help but feel sadness. He misses Mothra.
"Mothra died to prevent this from happening, don't let her death be in vain. I will find whoever is causing this outbreak, and I will destroy them if they won't stop. I will not allow another war to start again."
Godzilla lowers his head and walks back off the hill. He continues to walk until he meets the shore. Soon he vanishes into the water. The rest of the Kaiju split up and start to make their way across the globe. Every time Godzilla brings up his mate, he begins to break down. He really has not gotten over her death and until she returns he never will.

Author's note: This chapter was very hard to write. With my computer crashing, my wifi not working, and with three massive crashes that resulted in the entire chapter being deleted along with several large updates, this is all I had the patience to scrape together. I am very sorry about the lack of content in this chapter and I myself am not proud of it. But I ordered some new parts and have been spending my entire day making sure that these updates install so that nothing like this will happen again. I will see you guys next week and be sure to share this story with others.
