The Skyrunner
A few hundred miles north of San Francisco
A massive field of oil pumps covered a patch of land not too far from the coast. Tanks and helicopters patrolled the area, determined to protect this oil field from any monsters, especially the one that seemed to feed of the oil, Anguirus.
The collected fear of the monster attacking would seem to have attracted more than the oil. Raising from the water the spiked shell that gave away Anguirus' presence was only hidden by the blackness of the night. The crocodile like snout filled with uneven teeth took in the monster's first breath of fresh air. It crawled onto land, it hind legs, bent at the knees and almost dragging alone the ground. The hundred foot long tail covered in spikes swung violently behind the monster, while its green eyes focused on the lights of the oil field.
Its stealthy approach was finally interrupted when a helicopter patrol detected the behemoth dinosaur. Anguirus bellowed at the helicopters, knowing they meant trouble. He turned and swung his tail in the air, crushing the trio of 'copters. When he was facing the pumps again he saw trails of smoke. Following the trails into the sky Anguirus found a salvo of missiles plunging down to him. The spiked monster roared as he cowered into his shell, letting the rockets exploded against the carapace. The weaker spikes were blown off like shrapnel, and became new features to the surrounding terrain.
When Anguirus looked up again he saw a large block of tanks heading towards him. The monster roared as he charged at the army. The tanks all turned around but kept their cannons trained on the charging beast. Fire and smoke burst from the nozzles as the shells made for penetrating the skin of the monsters sped back into Anguirus. The monster was forced to stop when the explosions erupted against his face and shoulders, creating deep wounds that sprayed black blood. Anguirus quickly turned and let the remaining slugs hit him in his armored side. When the barrage was over Anguirus resumed his attack. This time the tanks didn't react fast enough and they were all smashed and tossed about like toys by the now aggravated monster.
The roar of the helicopters sounded overhead and Anguirus looked up to see a swarm of them flying past him towards the coast. Anguirus ignored the aircraft and continued to his goal. Crushing the pipes was the first step in retrieving the black oil that Anguirus lived off of like water. He drank from the fountains as if he'd been without it for years. No one knew exactly why the Anguirus monsters loved oil so much, though one theory was that oil held the contents of the monster's blood, since both had similar properties, the most obvious being the color.
When Anguirus finished his feast he turned back to the ocean and strolled in the direction the helicopters had gone, sensing danger the entire way. Anguirus was a brave and fearless monster, so this danger meant nothing to him. It meant nothing until he finally saw the source of the danger. Its dark skin blended perfectly with the night, but the shining silver dorsal plates and those glowing white eyes injected a petrifying fear in Anguirus. The quadruped monster cowered into the ground, hoping the two hundred foot reptile wouldn't notice him. Unfortunately those seemingly blank eyes saw everything, and Godzilla let loss his bone chilling roar.
Anguirus tried to get up and run, but the sudden atomic blast blocked his escape path. The spiked monster gathered all his courage and decided to charge at Godzilla at what he knew was a hopeless attack. Godzilla waited for Anguirus to get close enough then raised his foot to kick the monster in his jaw. The force of the kick knocked Anguirus onto him hind legs, making him stand for a moment before falling and finding himself face to toes with Godzilla's massive foot. Godzilla raised his foot again, readying to crush the monster's head, but Anguirus rose up and stuck Godzilla's foot with his nose horn.
Godzilla yelped in pain as he stumbled back. The wound quickly regenerated, but Godzilla waiting for the pain to subside gave Anguirus an opening for his attack. Anguirus leapt towards Godzilla and dug his teeth into the gargantuan mutant's throat. The dinosaur was able to stand on its feet while clinging to Godzilla, who made a fist and punched Anguirus in the stomach. Anguirus fell onto his shell, drawing in a deep breath to replace the air knocked out of him.
Before the giant monster could attack again Anguirus lashed out with his tail, whipping Godzilla in the legs, belly, and chest. Radioactive blood sprayed from the wounds and Godzilla stumbled back again. Somehow Anguirus flipped himself over and charged at Godzilla again like a wild bull. This time he bite Godzilla's ankle, drawing even more blood. Anguirus twisted and tugged with all his strength, and finally heard the satisfying cracking and crunching noise. Godzilla tumbled to the ground, roaring in the pain of his broken ankle. Anguirus rose up on his feet, a very foolish action.
Godzilla aimed for the exposed belly and fired an atomic heat beam, the ground melting beneath his charging dorsal plates. Anguirus roared briefly before the heat beam burnt its way past Anguirus harden skin, through his insides, and past the spiked shell. The power he received from stealing SpaceGodzilla's energy was still flowing through Godzilla, giving every attack extra strength.
The dead spiked dinosaur fell to the ground, his mouth gaping wide with black blood gushing forth, while its eyes stared into the night. Godzilla stood, his ankle regenerated, and roared victoriously. Looking to the south then down to his defeat opponent Godzilla made a decision. It would be a while before the other monsters arrived at his destination, so he had plenty of time to satisfy the other hunger feeding off nuclear energy only briefly dimmed. Godzilla crouched down and began tearing into Anguirus' flesh with his claws, removing the armor plates. With them out of the way Godzilla could plunge his head into Anguirus opened body and feast away, his digestive system immediately adjusting to the intake of oily blood.
