Chapter III

"Godzilla's hauling ass to confront SpaceGodzilla," Stanton stated. "We also have other Titans going after the crystals, many of them just waking up."

"Alright, who are we dealing with?" Jon asked, his headache dulled somewhat by Marcus' serum.

"We have Ziz in Washington, Rokmutul in Bangkok, Drakon in Osaka, Rhedosaurus in China, and Tecciztecatl in Los Angeles. We also have reports of giant animals swarming in Chernobyl."

"Any Titans going to confront them?"

"Abaddon's going after Drakon and Anguirus is going to Bangkok. We also believe that Quetzalcoatl is going after Tecciztecatl."

"Any updates on SpaceGodzilla?"

"We have G-Team going to Tibet right now to get a DNA sample," Marcus announced.

"And what about Lazarus and Zilla?"

"Zilla's staying with Minya," Ling answered, "Lazarus is in Tokyo for some reason."

"One of the seismologists in Tibet is picking up movement in the crust," Henry stated. "Looks like two new Titans are coming up."

SpaceGodzilla felt the tremors in the ground. He turned away from his growing crystal fortress and saw two holes opening up in the rock.

One hole opened up to reveal a lava-born Titan. It's body was shaped like a salamander's, albeit with long back legs for bipedal locomotion, and also had a pair of ram-like horns on its head. It had no eyes, but it's mouth was massive.

The other was more catlike, with sharp, crystalline, purple fur on it's back. It had thin crystals for whiskers, and it's tail was covered in spiky crystals.

The new Titans growled at SpaceGodzilla, who sneered and flashed his shoulder crystals in response. The crystalline Titan's eyes widened as it realized SpaceGodzilla's superiority, while the lava Titan was unaware of the trouble it was getting into.

The lava Titan slashed it's massive claw at the mutant, only for it to be grasped firmly by SpaceGodzilla. However, another claw came up and swiped at his face, causing him to scream in agony. Before the lava Titan could attack again, the crystal Titan tore it away from SpaceGodzilla and growled angrily at it, scolding it for attacking an Alpha Titan.

SpaceGodzilla prepared himself for another attack, but instead, the Titans lowered their heads in respect, begging for his forgiveness. The space-born monster was originally going to fight them, but he felt something when they bowed to him. Something like an instinct, a drive to lead them, to protect them, to guide them.

This is what Godzilla felt as an Alpha.

"The newcomers are bowing to SpaceGodzilla," Stanton announced. "If Serizawa's research on Godzilla is correct, then SpaceGodzilla is definitely native to this planet."

"Most likely," Jon agreed. "Now, what do we call these new Titans?"

"My mother and her sister discovered a stone carving in the Temple of the Moth when they first discovered it," Ling said. "The carving labeled them as 'the One of Obsidian' and 'the Crystal Cat.'"

"Obsidius and Krystalak," Stanton said. "That sound OK?"

"It'll do," Jon said, somewhat distracted by the dull ache in his head.

"I just got the affirmation from the Boston Osprey," Ox stated. "Mark, Ken, and Madison are on their way."

"Alright." Jon turned to Stanton. "Here that, Rick? Keep the sex jokes at a minimum."

"Aw, c'mon, man! Madison and Ken are dating, now!"

Jon paused for a moment to think about it. "You now have a slightly higher minimum. Stick to it."

"Yes, sir."

Jon retired to the lab, where Marcus was now making extra serum for him.

"How's the pain?" Marcus asked.

"Still there, but it's a dull ache," Jon replied. "To be honest, it's mildly distracting."

"I think I speak for everyone when I say that I'm worried about you." Marcus went to the computer and started punching in a formula for a new serum. "You haven't shifted into your Titan form since the Decimation, and you outright refuse to let it show. When you came back into the Gotengo after swimming with Doris, Mark told me that you hid your gills until they disappeared."

Jon was silent. Marcus knew that he was thinking of an answer to his statement, but he decided to ask a question first.

"Is it because of Maigo?"

Jon became frozen. He didn't move at all, and Marcus was growing concerned that he wasn't breathing.

"I haven't slept well since he took her, Marcus," Jon said, grabbing multiple vials of Marcus' serum. "The purple bastard took her from me. I should be looking for him so I can crush his head like Thor failed to."

Marcus knew that Jon's body would flush the toxins in the serum out, but he was still concerned for his friend.

"We had everything, Marcus. A stable life, reliable income, a scholarship. The monster just had to mess it all up."

Jon swallowed the fluid in each of the vials quickly. To reinforce his statement, he crushed the empty vials in his hand. His palm began to bleed, but he ignored the pain. The wounds would heal soon, anyway.

"If someone kills that son of a bitch before I do," he growled, "I'll make them wish they were never born."
