Author's Note: This is the second of four battles to finally put an end to the what seems to now be an age old question, "If the Japanese Godzilla and American Godzilla fought, who would win?" Last chapter, G.I.N.O. was pitted against the first Godzilla (1954-1975, aka the Showa Godzilla). This chapter will pit G.I.N.O. against the second Godzilla (1984-1989, whether this is a late Showa or an early Heisei series Godzilla is up to you, seeing as the Showa era became the Heisei era in 1989, the same year that Godzilla vs. Biollante was released in Japan.). I could have easily slacked off and made four chapters with practically the same fights with some minor details changed, but instead I have taken the time to make them different by changing the fighting styles of both monsters in each chapter as Gojira is changed in both size and ability. I hope this chapter will not disappoint you.

Tokyo, 1998. The city has been evacuated after several ships and eyewitness reports confirm that a large monster is within Tokyo Bay. Tokyo, a metropolis and milestone of man's modern technological prowess now sits and waits silently for an inevitable arrival. A portion of the bay near the dock area foams heavily as a grey figure rises from the ocean. This monster named Gojira had not been seen since it was vanquished in 1954, but anyone who could have been in Tokyo to see the monster come would realize this beast was something different from the original. Whether this one had just mutated further or simply had more time to grow didn't matter when considering Tokyo's fate. It stood at around 262 feet from head to toe, nearly twice the size of the first of its kind. Gojira wades out of the bay and smashes its way through the dock area to the outer business district of Tokyo.

Only a minute or so later brought another leviathan to Japan's capitol city. This green, slender monster crawls almost silently from the bay, or about as silently as a 170 feet long, 18,000 ton monster can. This monster had made its first appearance earlier this year in New York City. The Americans named it Godzilla after a fisherman who had sighted the monster repeated the name in terror during some questioning.

Gojira, smelling that another monster was near, turns around to face the dock area and devastates the surrounding buildings as his tail whipped around. Godzilla, with great swiftness, runs into the metallic jungle, giving his adversary only a glimpse of his long tail. Gojira gives out a short roar of challenge, and then marches back toward the docks in search of his foe. As he passes through an intersection, Godzilla leaps clawed-feet first onto Gojira's left side. The green leviathan clamps its feet into Gojira's left hip while also digging its hand-claws into the grey behemoth's left shoulder. Gojira stumbles to his right from the impact's momentum and slammed into a building. Luckily, he is able to center himself instead of collapsing with the building to the ground. Godzilla presses himself against his significantly larger foe's body, effectively trapping Gojira's left arm from use. Gojira roars in pain as Godzilla proceeds to tear into the grey flesh of his opponent's neck.

Gojira shakes violently, hoping to throw this vicious beast from his left side. Godzilla has a very firm grip, however, and continues to chew further into the left portion of Gojira's neck. The Japanese terror reaches with his right arm and grabs the top portion of Godzilla's left hand claw, which was now stained with a slow waterfall of Gojira's blood. The grey beast attempts to pull Godzilla's left hand from his shoulder, but with no success. The American scourge has no intention of letting go anytime soon. Blood pouring from his severed neck arteries and lacerated shoulder and hip, Gojira sidesteps slowly to his left. However, his left hip has trouble functioning with Godzilla's feet claws embedded in it. The grey behemoth's weight shifts uncontrollably to his left, and he falls in that direction into a building. Godzilla screeches in pain as he finds 55,000 tons of grey monster on top of him along with the rubble of a skyscraper.

Gojira pulls his upper body up slightly while still sitting on top of his foe, pleased to find his wounds quickly healing now that the shocked green monster had released hid death grip. Godzilla thrashes and attempts to pull himself out from under the Gojira, but he is unable to release his hips and feet. Gojira extends his left arm and sinks his claws into Godzilla's chest. Godzilla roars in pain and retaliates by lunging his upper body toward Gojira's face, ripping at his enemy's eyes and nose with his claws. Gojira quickly releases Godzilla's chest and lifts his lower body up in order to raise his face out of Godzilla's reach. The slender beast quickly flips himself so his feet are under him and quickly turns around to face his foe. As Gojira slowly rises to his full height, Godzilla leaps onto the grey beast's chest, sinking his feet into the upper chest, his hands into the sides of the neck, and clamping his jaws into Gojira's nose.

Gojira's dorsal fins flicker with a bright blue light, and the Japanese terror turns his head slightly left and unleashes his death ray. Godzilla's entire right arm is hit first, and then the death ray is moved up across his neck and eventually clips the right side of his face. The American scourge releases his grip and falls back in pain. Gojira shakes his head, relieved to have his monster opponent off him and let his g-cells handle the damage. Godzilla quickly gets on his feet as Gojira's dorsal spines flicker to life again. Godzilla runs quickly to his right as the grey behemoth unleashes the death ray once more. The green leviathan outruns the death ray, hearing two buildings crumble behind him that the death ray claims as its victims instead.

Gojira walks into the street that his nemesis had used for an escape and surveys the area. Other then two debris clouds spreading from the collapsed buildings his ray had blasted, there was no movement. The Japanese terror scouted for a few more seconds, then lit up his dorsal fins. Gojira unleashed four death rays, two hitting buildings to his distant left and the others demolishing buildings to his distant right. There was still no sight, sound, or even smell from his slender foe. Then, a building on the left side of the street about fifty feet in front of Gojira began to shake. The shaking seemed to move from the building into the street and then into the building on the right side of the street. Gojira roared in a challenge to the shaking, not sure if it was his green nemesis or a new foe. The shaking continued slightly past the building on the right side of the street and then became stationary and more intense.

As several buildings near by collapsed due to this very strong tremor near the surface, Godzilla appeared from the rubble. He roared at the grey behemoth and proceeded into the street Gojira was on, several meters behind where he had been digging earlier. Gojira lumbered toward Godzilla, roaring as he went. Godzilla showed no signs of running, bending his legs into a crouching position seemingly ready to pounce on his foe at any moment. As Gojira passed over where Godzilla had been digging, that entire section of street and sewers underneath collapsed. Gojira fell into a surprisingly large hole, stopping at his waist. When the grey behemoth hit the bottom of the hole, the two buildings adjacent to his sides collapsed on top of him, effectively filling in the hole and burying him under the rubble. Godzilla roared in pleasure as his simple trap had worked.

This celebration was short-lived as the rubble was lifted up and Gojira shook off the top layer from his shoulder, his dorsal fins flickering their distinctive blue shade. Godzilla crouched as low as he could, preparing to pounce only to be hit directly in the nose by Gojira's death ray seconds later. Godzilla screeched in pain and quickly took cover behind a building to his left. Gojira planted his hands into the ground and used them to help lift himself out of the hole. As he did this, the grey behemoth looked toward the building he saw Godzilla flee behind and charged up another death ray. The American scourge peeked his head around the corner of the building to watch his foe's progress out of the trap. The slender monster quickly ducked back behind the building as Gojira unleashed his ray. He fired the beam across the bottom-middle portion of the building, scorching Godzilla's lower chest and hips as it went. The building lost its structural support and collapsed on top of the slender monster.

Gojira walked over to the rubble and reached down as Godzilla shook the smashed materials off of him. The grey behemoth grabbed Godzilla while the slender monster was still on his back. With his green flesh along the sides of his back being pierced by his foe, Godzilla quickly lunged his jaws at Gojira and latched onto his neck and his hands into each respective shoulder. Despite the pain of Godzilla's ripping attacks, Gojira kept his grip and picked up his green foe. Doing his best to stand up right with the new weight to hold and the loss of blood from his neck and shoulders, Gojira proceeded to run full-speed (which is still not fast when compared to Godzilla) into the building in front of him.

Godzilla feels almost the full impact, his body cushioning Gojira's effectively with him spread across the grey behemoth's chest. Gojira continues his marathon run into the next building, this time sensing Godzilla's grip beginning to loosen. The Japanese terror continues into a third building and then a fourth. Godzilla loses his grip on his opponent's neck and shoulders due to the painful impacts, and Gojira releases his grip and lets the momentum of the run fling the American scourge into one final building. As Godzilla recovers from the impacts and starts getting out of the rubble, Gojira's dorsal fins illuminate and he unleashes his death ray on Godzilla's chest and neck.

The slender beast has no means of protecting himself, as he is still brushing off the rubble from the fifth building. Gojira continues to unleash his death ray, scorching his opponent from head to tail. The American scourge roars a loud cry of pain and ceases trying to escape the now burning rubble, lying motionless in what an observer might call a steel and concrete tomb. Gojira walks forward, charging up one last death ray to finish off his adversary's body.

As he nears the body, Godzilla's tail swings into Gojira's right leg, causing him to fall to his right. The grey behemoth's charged death ray fires erratically, hitting buildings in the distance but not touching Godzilla. The now black-skinned leviathan slowly pushes the remaining rubble off of him and at a crawling-speed walks toward his fallen foe. Gojira roars in surprise and pain as the American scourge rips and tears at his face with his death ray singed hands and teeth. The grey behemoth's rage mounts as he lifts his upper body up and slams his right hand into Godzilla's chest, ripping at the skin and breaking several ribs. Godzilla continues to ravage his foe's face, having lost most of his pain nerves from the death ray onslaught earlier. Gojira whips his left arm around and slashes open Godzilla's neck, blood flowing like a flooding stream with all the major arteries and veins cut.

Despite this, Godzilla continues his assault. Though his flesh and muscles may be weaker due to the death rays, his claws and teeth are as sharp as ever. The Japanese terror swings his left arm around again, this time slamming it into the American scourge's face, knocking it into a rubble-covered street. Gojira puts the full strength of his arm on Godzilla's face, keeping it pinned down as he gets his legs up. The grey behemoth removes his left hand from his adversary's face and replaces it with his left foot. Filled with rage and anxiety from not finishing the battle earlier, Gojira stomps repeatedly on Godzilla's head. After several seconds, the sound of the American scourge's skull cracking is heard throughout the desolated business district of Tokyo.

Gojira continues to stomp his opponent's head into the ground to the point that when he finally lifts up his left foot, Godzilla's face is partially submerged under a pool of blood. The Japanese terror roars in pleasure, lights up his dorsal fins, and fires one final death ray to engulf the carcass of his opponent. Gojira proceeded on his route through the city that he was using before the titanic battle had begun, lumbering through Tokyo for reasons only he truly knows. When the Japanese authorities return to Tokyo, they would find a damaged, but still viable specimen of the monster that had ravaged New York City, but only pieces of flesh here and there of what had caused Japan devastation equal only to the two atomic bombs of World War II.
