I'm back again! Hope you enjoyed reading all the action in Chapter 4 as much as I enjoyed writing it! Though I'm still reeling from the action of Invasion, here's another explosive chapter!
Thanks to GodzillaFreak and Admiral Larsen for reviewing, thus inspiring me to write at such a furious rate. Enjoy, and don't forget to R&R! And keep guessing if you want about the other menace- there's a (hopefully) subtle hint at the end of Chapter 4.
By the way, sorry if the Destroyah are a little off- I haven't actually seen Godzilla Vs Destroyah.
Anyway, enough talking! On with the story!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SWARM
The five Destroyah instantly descended around Godzilla and Minilla. As they swooped low to the ground, two of them transformed into their crawling forms. Minilla backed away at his father's orders, as Godzilla tensed himself, ready to face the invaders that he remembered all too well.
The mammoth crustaceans instantly charged towards Godzilla. The monster stood his ground and, when they were near enough, whipped them away with his tail. One of the fliers zoomed down to attack, but Godzilla ducked and it instead hit one of the other Destroyah. One of them clawed at him, but Godzilla grabbed the claws and threw the monster back. The remaining two flew down towards him. Godzilla turned to face them, swatting one of them away, but the other still hit him in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
One of the crawlers struck at Godzilla's head, but the monster rolled to the side, biting the claw as he went. He stood up and threw his attacker to the ground, just as another came at him. Godzilla knocked it back as one of the Fliers began to claw at his head. He bit into its wing and threw it into a crawling Destroyah. Another one suddenly bit Godzilla in the arm, sinking its teeth into his flesh. Godzilla roared in pain and anger, before slamming the Destroyah into the ground, forcing it to let go. He stood back up just in time to face another incoming enemy.
Minilla was still watching the fight, as Godzilla struck out endlessly against his five attackers. When one of the crustaceans was knocked within range, Minilla suddenly fired a beam of atomic energy from his mouth. It struck the Destroyah in the side, enraging the demon. It turned round to face the child, and started rapidly scuttling towards it.
Godzilla turned round, looking back to sea the Destroyah advancing on his son. Enraged, he threw away two Destroyah, then turned around to face the one heading for his offspring. The large spinal plates jutting from his back to glow blue. In an instant, a brilliant beam of energy shot out of his mouth, striking the Destroyah in the back. The monster screeched in pain as it burst into flames.
A flier swooped down toward Godzilla's chest, seeking to dig its claws into the Monster King. Instead, Godzilla simply ducked, and the Destroyah flew right across his spinal plates. The spikes cut through its exoskeleton, and the monster howled in pain. It crashed to the ground, wounded, but still alive. Godzilla charged at it, but the other three suddenly changed to their crawling forms, leaping onto his arms and chest. Godzilla roared in pain as they dug their claws into his flesh. Thinking quickly, he let himself fall forward, the Destroyah under him. The impact forced the three of them to let go, and Godzilla stood up immediately, kicking one of them in the head.
The wounded Destroyah stood up in its crawler form, its wound already healed, and scuttled toward Godzilla. However, Minilla suddenly fired another energy blast at it. Enraged, the crustacean whirled round, changed to its flying form and flew toward Minilla, ready to tear the child to shreds. However, Minilla ducked under it, imitating his father's strategy. After unexpectedly flying over the infant, the Destroyah turned round in mid-air to attack.
Godzilla swatted away a Destroyah and fired another energy blast between Minilla and the Destroyah, forcing the monster to veer up. The flying demon turned its attention to Godzilla once again.
The three crawlers instantly changed to their flying forms, flying in a circle around Godzilla. One of them broke the formation to attack, only to fly into Godzilla's claws and be thrown to the ground, then kicked in the chest. Another one flew down and bit Godzilla in the neck. Two more followed suit, biting into his arms. The fourth remaining monster bit Godzilla's chest.
Something suddenly began to seep from the Destroyah and into Godzilla. Godzilla staggered, howling in pain as the Micro-oxygen began to flood through his body. He fell to his knees as the creatures continued to inject him with the lethal substance.
Minilla suddenly fired another burst of energy hitting one of the Destroyah in the wing. The wing burned, but the Destroyah would not be deterred from its vengeance- not when it was so close to victory…
Summoning all his strength, Godzilla lifted one arm, and tore one of the attackers from his neck. He fired a burst of radiation from his mouth, incinerating the Destroyah. He threw it down to the ground before tearing the Destroyah from each arm, smashing them together, and throwing them on top of the other one. Finally, he tore the last one from his chest and slammed it on top of the other three. Finally, he unleashed an enormous burst of nuclear power. The blast covered the remaining three Destroyah, incinerating all of them.
Godzilla roared in victory and turned away from the smouldering remains of his enemies.
Minilla ran up to his father. Already healing from the Micro-oxygen, Godzilla checked that his son was unharmed.
G-Graspers HQKatagiri looked up at the screen. "He destroyed them!"
Miki kept silent, but suddenly her eyes opened wide in horror.
"No…they're not dead…" She gasped.
Monster IslandA massive, bright light suddenly erupted from the ground behind Godzilla. He whirled round to see the light take a massive form. Godzilla shielded Minilla as his nightmare reformed itself…
Destroyah rose up, roaring maniacally, morphed into its final form. The savage, black-and-red demon glared at Godzilla, recognising the legacy of the creature that had brought its destruction.
Godzilla shook off the fear and ran straight toward Destroyah. However, the demon fired a dense, misty spray from its mouth. As soon as it hit Godzilla, it exploded. Godzilla staggered, but kept standing. Destroyah instantly pressed the advantage, striking Godzilla with its claws, and tearing into his flesh. Godzilla fell to the ground, but brought his tail up as he did so. He struck Destroyah in the side of the head, and they both thundered to the ground.
G-Graspers HQ"Miki, what the hell is going on?" Katagiri asked as he looked up at the screen.
"Destroyah is in its final form," Miki answered, frightened, "Its resurrection is complete!"
"Resurrection?"
Miki nodded. "This is the same Destroyah that the first Godzilla destroyed. At least…everyone thought he'd destroyed it."
"So where the hell had it been for the last decade?"
"Reforming. Planning. Biding its time."
"But this doesn't make sense…After the Oxygen Destroyer was first used, it took Destroyah 40 years to show up!"
"And that's the worst part. I sense the hand of someone else at work here."
Miki's thoughts suddenly drifted back to her encounter with the Cosmos.
She had a strong suspicion about just who that someone might be…
Monster IslandBy now, Godzilla and Destroyah were back up, exchanging blows. As Destroyah struck, Godzilla bit down into its arm. Destroyah stepped back, allowing Godzilla to attack. He struck Destroyah again and again, endlessly pummelling the demon. However, as Destroyah fell to the ground, a beam of blood-red energy shot from its horn, striking Godzilla in the face. He staggered back as Destroyah rose up, whipping at Godzilla with his tail. He sliced into the Monster's chest with his enormous wings.
Godzilla still kept his balance. His back plates began to glow again. However, Destroyah was so busy attacking that it didn't notice.
That was a mistake.
An enormous burst of energy shot from Godzilla's mouth, hitting Destroyah right in the chest. A huge explosion erupted as Destroyah collapsed to the ground. Godzilla snarled- he knew this fight was not over yet.
Minilla ran to Godzilla's side, but Godzilla beckoned to his son to stay back. Destroyah instantly rose up and fired another burst of Micro-Oxygen spray, which immediately detonated against Godzilla's chest. Godzilla staggered as Destroyah charged at him. Godzilla regained his composure and stood firm as Destroyah collided with him. He pushed back, forcing Destroyah away. They stood there grappling for a few seconds, before Destroyah bit into Godzilla's shoulder. The blood instantly started pouring out, and Godzilla once again felt the Micro-Oxygen surging through his body.
Godzilla's entire body suddenly started to glow bright blue. A surge of nuclear power burst out around him in a sphere, sending Destroyah flying back. Before the demon could react, Godzilla charged up and fired another atomic blast. He hit Destroyah in the chest, forcing the monster back before the explosion that followed.
Godzilla stood there, growling. Destroyah suddenly shot up out of the flaming explosion, heading skyways with his enormous wings. The beast flew away over the ocean, flying away from Monster Island.
Godzilla's wounds had healed already. He turned round and walked over to his son.
Mt. FujiNear the mountain, Belvera had been watching the battle with her telepathic abilities.
"So," She thought, "Seems Destroyah isn't quite back to full strength yet. No matter. But it's time to accelerate my plans…starting with a visit to my dear sisters…"
G-Graspers HQOn the screen, the red dot marking Destroyah continued out to sea before passing out of range.
"It's retreating," Miki sighed.
"So it's over?" Patrick asked.
Miki slowly shook her head. "Not yet. If I'm right, this is just beginning."
InfirmaryAkane's eyes slowly drifted open. As she remembered what had happened, she immediately shot up.
"Akane, relax!" Togashi said. Akane turned to see him sitting next to her.
"What happened?" She sighed.
"Your guess is as good as mine. The Destroyah flew out to Monster Island. Near as I can tell, they're still going, too."
"You mean they killed Godzilla?"
"No. They retreated."
"Why am I in the infirmary?"
"You almost got killed by one of the Destroyah. Lucky for us they left Hokkaido to go after Godzilla."
Command roomThe room was more frantic than ever. People were being sent out to deal with the damage in Hokkaido, troops needed re-assembling and Destroyah was still being tracked.
In an instant, the alarms sounded again. A red dot suddenly appeared on a digitised world map.
"What the hell is happening now?" Katagiri yelled.
"Something just showed up in New Australia!" One of the soldiers called.
"What is it?" Patrick asked.
Miki sensed the creature's all-too-familiar mind.
"Battra…"

Yet another massive chapter of Monster violence- with another one on the way! And remember, feel free to keep guessing as to the other menace! All reviews welcome!
Also, how am I doing with the characters and the portrayals of the monsters? I now my character of Patrick hasn't been involved much, but that's coming later.
