Chapter 8: Dig In and Hold Your Ground
Albany, New York
The inital wave of Gigan had been driven back by Godzilla and his friends, but waves of reinforcements forced them to pull back. Now they were at the small city that the humans called "Albany" and a number of A.G.A.V.s were waiting for them, ready to give some backup support. Godzilla could hear the sreeching howls of battle ready Gigan heading their way. He needed to come up with a plan to hold them off, but nothing was coming to mind. The area of Albany itself offered plenty of cover, and made a great place to dig in and hold a defensive position; but Godzilla knew it would not last, as did everyone else in the group. However, Godzilla knew that everyone here would fight to the bitter end, if need be, and he took comfort in the fact that he was actually being helped by the humans. The A.G.A.V.s soon opened fire as a new wave of Gigan began to emerge in the distance. They were coming up fast and would be there in less than thirty seconds.
"Be ready!" Godzilla shouted to the other monsters. "Were not going to lose so easily this time..."
Anguirus grinned as a Gigan landed right in front of him and attempted to take a swipe at his head. He easily ducked under the relatively high swipe and swung his clubbed tail, which connected with the cyborg's theigh. The Gigan screamed as its femur shattered from the intense blow, and soon toppled over. Anguirus finished the creature off with a chomp on the throat and rose again to battle the oncoming Gigan hoard, rolling into a ball and charging into a group of unexpecting cyborgs.
Mothra, Rodan, and Megaguirus were being chased by even more Gigan overhead, but were seeming to handle themselves, as they were using complex aireal manuvers to baffle their opponents. Megaguirus and Mothra would use thier speed to confuse, while Rodan would buffet them with wind blasts and shoot them with his atomic ray. Occassionally, Megaguirus would steal energy from a downed Gigan and use the energy gained to take down even more of them with their own laser blasts. They would also, now and again, use all their energy blasts in unison, to stun or even knock out larger groups of Gigan.
The flood of Gigan was growing ever larger, and Godzilla was getting frustrated. These Cyborgs were pushovers compaired to the elite and he would rather have a battle worth fighting than settle for these mere weaklings.
"These are probably the grunts of the Gigan army..." Godzilla thought to himself "They may not be the toughest, but there's sure a lot of them."
"I don't know who's after you!" Anguirus shouted from behind a group of surrounding cyborgs. "But you must've done something that really pissed him off!"
"This is not the time!" Godzilla shouted back, "Whoever's behind this will probably show himself soon. Just keep fighting."
Just as he finished his statement, two Gigan jumped for him and wrestled him to the ground. Godzilla managed to pry one off of him and toss it into a building, but the other had its sickle like hands dug deep into his flesh and could not be pried loose. The cyborg cackled in delight as he watched his prey squirm as he sunk his claws deeper and deeper; but that laughter was cut short when a ray from Mothra's antennae struck him in the neck, severing his head from his body; causing it to crash to the pavement below. Godzilla then pulled the decapitated body off him and regained his composure.
"Thanks" Godzilla said still in a bit of pain.
"Do not thank me just yet," Mothra replied nervously as more Gigan continued to pour into the area, "As I believe the worst is still yet to come."
