Destroy all Monsters:
In the Eyes of the Before
The monitor
screen disappeared, fading to blackness and reappearing as a new fresh
picture. Vegetation floated lightly
around as the camera turned, scanning over the diminutive sized hill. A foot
collided with the ground in front of the camera, kicking up a cloud of sandy
dust into the afternoon air. The
stomping of the giant foot was followed by the loud, wailing bark of the unseen
monster. Dr. Yokanoyo's old face crinkled with a warm smile. He turned his
head, looking over the other monitors of the so-called Monster Island. No
active showed, the whole afternoon had been like that. Most of the earth
monsters laid asleep for the most part, not coming around the well placed
cameras that were scattered all over the island. " So, how is everything
going?" The raspy, crisp voice of the chief engineer, Shiro Mutina, came
from behind Yokanoyo. " Its going good, everything seems to be in order."
Yokanoyo responded back his voice calm and clear. " That's good. I want all
of you to listen to this, we have a new resident coming to Monster Island, s o
I need everyone on alert. The cargo ship should be arriving within the hour.
Just look for it on the camera that observes the ocean." Shiro's words slowly vanished, almost
trailing behind him as the experienced engineer walked away. Yokanoyo turned
back to his position looking only at the cold ocean waves, awaiting the
newcomer.
The underwater
camera showed the active Titanosaurus as he lofted easily through the dark
shadow of the water. Its long neck bobbing back and forth as it strides over
the rough sea floor. Yokanoyo's eyes tore away, once again turning back to the
calm ocean view, his burning eyes still awaiting the large cargo ship to
present itself. Still nothing showed up, the view never changed, only the
lapping of endless waves. " Hey, Yokanoyo, punch up sector 1-3. I want to
see if Godzilla is in that vicinity." Said the voice of the lovely Mako.
Yokanoyo's fingers went to work, typing vigorously on the keyboard. The screen
flickered, the underwater view being taken over by the green jungle area of
sector 1-3. The large head of Godzilla
rose, the surrounding trees rippling under his weight. His demon like eyes
scanning across the area, watching over his domain. His body stuck, only his
head moved back and forth over the landscape. The view exploded with limestone
green, the fat stomach of Minya coming to greet the camera. The junior monster
bent down, its pudgy face smiling lightly at the monitor as to be saying hi to
the crew. Mako laughed, giggling at the monster's cute actions. Yokanoyo
chuckled softly, giving into the fun of his job.
Yokanoya's eyes
popped, returning back to the serious position they were always at. The giant,
gray cargo ship pushed through the coarse waves as it made its way to the
island. Yokanoya sat and watched. He looked on, trying his best to see what
earth monster laid in the giant box like cage. The ship came closer to the edge
of the island, landing on the beach. Unseen motors kicked in on the ship, the
back of the cage lifted high into the air. The door snapped back, the brown
pile of flesh slipped out, flopping onto the beach of Ogasawara. " Shipment delivered, Monster Baragon is
now your responsibility." The
captain of the ship spat out in a not too friendly tone. " Ok, we have it
from here. Ogaswara base signing off." Yokanoya spoke into the microphone
giving the captain the ok. The ship waded back through the waves, returning
back home, disappearing over the horizon. Yokanoya turned away from the leaving
ship and to the wakening monster. The brown flabby creature rose to its four
legs, looking around its new surroundings. The monster runs towards the water,
splashing it under the weight of its feet. The odd animal wades heavily through
the cold blanket of water. Yokanoya flipped up a small panel door, revealing a
single red button under it. His finger pushed down on it, the button giving
into the weight and being forced down under its own will. Yokanoya turned back
to the fleeing monster. The gas vents rose out of the water, spraying out their
stinging gas. The cloud of white, rising gas surrounds Baragon. The lofting,
white cloud seeps into the wide nostrils of Baragon, setting them ablaze in a
storm of pain. The monster whips around, heading back to the beach. The monster
barked out, venting out its pain and frustration. Its board mouth dropped open,
a ruby red heat beam exploded out, burning across the landscape, destroying the
very camera that watched it. Yokanoya still stood watching the fuzz on the
camera, watching the problem unfold.
Panic floated
high in the control room, running it's coarse through all the crewmembers.
Yokanoya still stood watching the camera scenes, waiting for Baragon to appear.
" There, camera four." One of the other members said as he pointed
towards the running monster. " Move
the camera, see what's in front of it." Yokanoya said letting some of the
anger slip out. The view panned up,
showing the top of the mountain that Baragon climbed. Over the bend came the
wailing calls of Anguris as he made his way up to the top of the same hill
Baragon was on. Baragon fiercely growled at the wandering Anguris, the spiked
monster roared back, accepting Baragon's challenge. Anguris charged forward, his
long mouth wide open. Angrius collided with Bargon, crashing him under its
weight. Anguris thrashed around, and grabbed a hold of Baragon's fat neck.
Anguirs ivory teeth sink deep into the rubbery flesh, drawing the strong
flowing blood of Baragon. Baragon whined in pain, bucking its neck back and
forth, trying to loosen the death grip of Anguris. Baragon turned its head
around, its jaws unleashing their wine-colored heat beam. The stream of flames
burns softly on Angrius tough flesh.
The spiked monster lets go, reeling back from Baragon. Anguris charged again, plowing full force
into Baragon. The wobbly four legged
monster rolls back, taking the brute of the fall. " Begin nerve gas now." Yokanoya
told the young man at the command system. The area soon becomes clouded with
white gas, circling and shifting around the landscape. The two monsters turn
away running from the burning pain. A calm, light voice came over the roar of
the mumbling babbly of the crew, " Matter avoided. Return to work stations."
Yokanoya went back to his workstation,
sitting down in the stiff leather chair. The monitors stood quiet, once again
mindless active was the only thing that stirred on the screen. Yokanoya watched
purplish orange horizon as the sun set behind the lapping waves of the churning
ocean. He yawned at the beautiful setting, filling the sleep slowly creep up on
him. Yokanoya turned towards Mako, " I am going to go get some rest, I have
had a busy day." He said happily as he stood up. " Well, goodnight."
Mako said turning back to her workstation.
Yokanoya walked back, walking through the opening glass doors. He
strides down the endless hallway of doors in till he founds his. Yokanoya
inserts his key, the lock snapping way from the door. He stepped into the small
apartment; he walked down the hall and found his bed. Yokanoya undressed and
slipped beneath the covers, sleep falling over him fast.
Yokanoya walked
through the glass doors again to be greeted by the bright face of Mako. "
Did you sleep well?" She asked him the simple question. " Yes, quiet
comfortably." He responded. Yokanoya walked pass her, eager to get to work.
He watched over the monitors, noting the active monsters that pass his screen.
Godzilla marched pass the tiny camera, sending clouds of dirty dust around the
area. He steps out of the lash forest making his way down to the water's edge.
Godzilla bucks back, his power filling his body, exploding out in his deafening
roar. He treads into the water, the cold liquid rushing through his toes. Yokanoya laughs as Godzilla makes his way
out to sea. He flips up the control cover once again and pushes the button,
releasing the burning gas. Godzilla stops, looking over the growing mist. He
spins around, sending waves of water into the bright morning air. The king of
the monsters soon disappears from view, returning back to his home. "
Helicopter coming in. Open shaft door." Someone said behind Yokanoya. The
large metal door slid open, letting the small helicopter descend down the
length of the shift. Yokanoya continued with his work, still monitoring
Godzilla actives as he returns to the jungle. The door opened and shut,
followed by two chatting voices, one that Yokanyo knew and one that came to him
as a blank. The only thing he could figure out about it was the fact that it
was a woman's voice. It floated lightly, sweet and dewy as it entered his ear.
Yokanoya's mind pandered in and out, pulling him away from his work, not
noticing the strange active of the monsters.
He turned his head nonchalantly, noting wanting the young
woman to know that he is looking at her. He caught a glimpse of her beauty, her
silk-like black hair, her crisp brown eyes, and her face soft and flawless.
Yokanoya turned back around, his ears still hearing the mindless chatter that
went on behind him. " The monsters look cute from this angle." The
commander said, Yokanoya's ear picking up his stern voice as he spoke to the
young woman. " Yes, they do." The young woman responds to the commander's little joke. " I was afraid they would frighten you." The commander spoke, chuckling at his own
wit. " Oh, no." The woman says back. A voice erupts over the loud
speaker, calling the young woman to the telephone. Yokanoya slid his head
around the side of the chair, peering at the beautiful woman once again as she
walked into the small booth of a room.
Yokanoya went back to the boring scenery, but something was wrong. The
screen flicked with static, popping back and forth from blackness to the vast jungle. Yokanoya looked around the room, all
monitors suffered with the same problem.
" System failure!" Someone screamed loud and clear across the
commander room. The room goes to darkness, only the red beams from the spinning
warning lights could be seen. Once again a cloud of panic floated over the
heads of the crewmembers. Everyone
clustered together, fearing for the worst. Yokanoya gets up, watching the
cluster of yellow as they hold each other's hand. Something broke, tearing
away, and collapsing to the ground. A low hiss filled the room, growing louder.
" Look!" One of the panicked members screamed. The cloud of bright yellow gas lofted out, seeping from the
cracks under the door. The giant puff of gas made its way towards him, circling
them like a hungry lion. The ghostly cloud of gas filled the room, filling the
lungs of everyone there. Yokanoya's head felt light, going dizzy from the
seeping gas. His eyes blurred, growing watery. He lifted his heavy hand to his
head, trying his best not to fall over.
His head begin to spin, throwing him around in a hatful manner. Yokanoya
fall to the ground, not knowing he had. His eyes stayed open watching the
moving cloud of gas something shines with in it. Yokanoya stares on, the only
thing he can do. Two boots appear in front of him, followed by the lining of a
thick silver cape. Yokanoya fall, fall to the darkness, leaving his humanity
behind, leaving it for the control of the Kilaaks.
