Beyond the Sea
Food! How diversified it can be, and dinosaurs were back on the menu in the 'all you can eat' section. Stuffing himself for a few days, he started to wonder why he had still not sensed any threatening carnivores on the island, such as raptors, spinosaurus or tyrannosaurs. There were the poison-spitting dilophosaurs, and they preyed on compys. The compys proved irritating, being omnivores too small to hunt for themselves, they scavenged from his kills. He was unable to attack them easily as there were too agile. Still, there were no other carnivores. He also realized that there were a greater number of human structures, all abandoned.
A year passed, it was breeding season again. However, he did not feel the desire to mate, besides the fact that there were no other tyrannosaurs on the island. Indeed, he was growing too fast and too large to be classified as a T-rex. The radiation from the bomb had now become prominent. Spikes had grown on his back and his intelligence could rival raptors. But his size was the most obvious feature that had developed, and in no time he became larger than sauropods. Though this made hunting in forests difficult, it enabled him to bring down the largest of prey. It has been mentioned that frog DNA was used to complete the dinosaurs' genome, giving it the unexpected ability the change gender in a single-sex environment. The radiation had mutated him further, and he was now pregnant with eggs that contained genetic "clones".
But something else will awaken. When the eggs are ready to be laid, he will feel the urge to migrate to nest. However, as the eggs are not ready, he continued to hunt and gorge himself with anything edible. Still, the fear of the island being destroyed haunted him continuously. He usually stayed near the coast, prepared to swim if humans were sensed. Few ventures were made to the interior of the island, and he always ensured that a path was present in which he could flee fast enough. Still, no attack came; it was a phantom of the past. The humans had apparently overlooked the island, thinking that all the dinosaurs had perished under a hurricane. Though that was not true, hurricanes were a threat to any creature living there.
It was not until many years later when Hurricane Jessica swept over the island. It plowed into the island with the sheer power of its winds, rain and lightning. Towering waves rose above forests, crashing down with sufficient force to shape hills. However, this could not be compared to the havoc the tornadoes created. Appearing from within the hurricane, they touched ground and sucked up all in contact, creating trails of destruction. Not knowing what was happening, the dinosaurs stampeded. Fear seized them, as with widespread devastation, there was nowhere to flee. Only one creature stood a high chance of surviving through. From the flooded beaches, he swam towards the island interior against the backwash. He rampaged among the tornadoes, unwilling to be lifted. The rain was nothing, but then lightning struck him. A flare sprang up in his eyes, and the spikes on his back rippled with electricity. Lifting his head, he opened his jaws toward the raging sky and roared. The sound of his roar rose above the storm. A huge, dazzling bolt of nuclear energy shot up into the clouds, as though spewed from his mouth in defiance of the hurricane. Soon, the storm passed, and the tyrannosaur slumped down onto the ground, drained of all energy.
From then on, he could be known as Godzilla, greatest of beasts!
