Well, after the drama of the first two chapters and the character development in the last one, we now come to Godzilla's appearance in our story, so here comes a chapter with a nice helping of act-shun. Enjoy!
GODZILLA
Pacific Ocean, 300 miles from OsakaThe Super-X was flying across the water at startling speed. Its weapons were all fully loaded, and a massive cannon on the front was rotating in preparation to fire. A smaller, blue-and-white craft was flying next to it.
The Super-X's captain activates the communication systems.
"Where is it?"
"400 feet below the surface," came Osaki's answer from the other end, "300…200…should be visible."
A long row of sharp spines broke through the water's surface, in the front of a huge wake of water. A massive shape moved beneath them.
Not far in front of this shape were 3 Naval Destroyers, backed up by six Apache Choppers.
"Target sighted!" One of the officers reported, "Weapon stations, fire at will!"
G-Force HQ
Katagiri pushed a switch on the communicator.
"Super-X, Griffon, Open Fire!"
Pacific Ocean
"Fire!"
The Griffon immediately shot through the air, between the spines, releasing a cluster of bombs onto the creature's back. It began to rear up, and a long, sinuous tail lashed out of the water. Osaki skilfully rolled the craft to the side, avoiding the attack.
"All units! Open Fire!"
A hail of missiles shot from the Destroyers, colliding with the massive shape. Sudden bursts of Maser Energy fired from the side of the Super-X. The Griffon turned round in mid-air.
"Firing Photon-Gun!"
A pair of orange bursts of photonic energy shot into Godzilla's side. The monster thrashed angrily. A charcoal-grey, muscular arm lashed out, barely missing the craft.
Underwater
Three Submarines were closing in around Godzilla.
"G sighted," A technician reported, "Ready to fire!"
Torpedoes shot from all three submarines, exploding on Godzilla's sides. The monster roared in anger and suddenly ducked under the water.
Super-X
"Get a reading!" The captain shouted as Godzilla's tail vanished beneath the water.
"200 feet…300…it's heading for the subs!"
Underwater
Godzilla suddenly slammed into the side of one of the submarines. His mammoth claws tore through the sides of it like paper, and in an instant, the whole craft exploded, with the sickening thud of an underwater explosion.
Godzilla whirled round, immediately heading toward another sub.
Griffon
Osaki immediately piloted the Griffon down to the water's surface.
"Dropping Depth-Charges!"
A pair of depth-charges dropped from the craft, straight down toward Godzilla. The Super-X followed suit, with a cluster of bombs.
Underwater
The blasts struck at Godzilla's sides, but all they did was anger the beast. As it turned, its tail swing toward another sub.
"Jesus Shit! Evasive action!"
It was too late. Godzilla's tail went clean through the sub, and it burst apart in a massive explosion.
A sudden burst of light shot from Godzilla's mouth into the front of the last remaining sub. It tore straight through the craft, causing it to explode.
Above the water
The underwater explosion burst up from the waves.
"Depth 200…150…It's coming up!"
On the bridge of one of the Destroyers, one of the crew members looked down at the radar screen.
"Where is it?" The commander shouted.
"100 metres…Oh my god…It's underneath us!"
Seconds later, the huge Naval Destroyer was lifted out of the water on a living mountain of scales and spines. The spikes shredded straight through the craft, snapping steel ribs like kindling as the fuel tanks exploded in balls of fire. One of the mightiest machines ever built by man was reduced to scrap in a matter of seconds.
Finally, Godzilla lifted his head out of the water. The soldiers at last got a good look at the creature.
His head almost resembles a scaly puma, with the impression of both fury and cunning. Its skin was charcoal-grey, and its body was muscular and powerful- built like a prize fighter. A long row of spikes ran down its back and tail, with smaller spikes on its sides and the sides of its head and neck.
Amid the flaming wreckage, Godzilla paused- briefly. Suddenly, a blinding, blue-white light rose up in its mouth. The jaws opened to reveal twin rows of gleaming, sharp teeth. The light in the back of its neck shot out in a dazzling beam, straight into the side of another Destroyer. The craft exploded, flames towering into the air as Godzilla turned and bellowed at the rest of his opposition.
"G exposed!" The Super-X's captain shouted, "Fire Zero-Cannon!"
A beam of white energy suddenly shot from the front of the ship, striking Godzilla in the chest. Godzilla bellowed in fury- but the beam didn't hurt him.
"Griffon, drop Liquid-Nitrogen bombs!"
The Griffon swooped low over Godzilla's head, releasing a hail of bombs. After they exploded in bursts of gas, Godzilla's body was covered in patches of ice. The rest of his body suddenly became coated in ice as the influence of the beam spread.
"Cease fire!"
The beam stopped, and the frozen Godzilla immediately sank beneath the waves.
However, as soon as he was in the water, all Godzilla did was flex his muscles, and the ice shattered. He broke the surface of the water with terrifying power, leaning forward and lashing his tail up.
The Super-X's captain saw the long tail heading for the ship.
"Evasive action! Shields up!"
It was too late for that. Godzilla's tail slammed the side of the ship, even as the rest of the Unit continued to pelt the monster with missiles. The Apache choppers buzzed around Godzilla, and the titanic reptile lashed out with his claws, shredding them to pieces in mid-air.
The Super-X crashed into the sea, mercifully staying afloat.
The last Destroyer closed in as the Griffon joined the rest of the choppers, firing a stream of missiles into Godzilla's side. The craft veered up, launching a burst of the missiles into Godzilla's left eye. Roaring in anger, Godzilla lashed out wildly. One of his fists hit the Griffon, however, sending it flying through the air. The craft finally turned to face Godzilla again, as the monster crushed the last of the choppers between its teeth and slammed its tail clean through the Destroyer.
Osaki activates the Photon-Gun again, and more bursts of energy shot into Godzilla's sides. Godzilla lashed out, but missed the ship. Angered, he opened his mouth again and fired a burst of nuclear plasma into the Griffon's path.
"Shit!"
Osaki immediately gunned the air-brakes and rolled the ship up. It missed the blast, but the shockwave was so intense that the craft was still sent falling through the air, coming to a stop on the water's surface.
Godzilla turned and fired another blast- into the side of the Super-X.
"NO!"
The ship exploded in a huge, orange burst of fire and smoke. Godzilla roared in triumph and turned to the Griffon.
Osaki could only stare up into those fiery, orange eyes. Those eyes…they felt like they were drilling into his soul. He saw the hatred and rage behind those flaming eyes as Godzilla's eyelids narrowed.
Osaki felt a chill run down his spine as he suddenly heard a deep, growling voice around him.
A psychic…"What the…" Osaki thought out loud.
Yes… The Voice came again, Powerful. Brave. Strange for a human…
What the hell are you? Osaki thought.
You're looking right at me, human fool.
Osaki looked up again at Godzilla. Then he realised… the voice in his head- it was Godzilla!
That's impossible… he thought, before he heard Godzilla's disembodied voice again.
But…no…you are not the one I sensed…similar…but different…What the hell do you want? Osaki demanded.
Silence! Can't you tell, Telepath?How…how did you know I was a…
Only a telepathic human can hear me. But you are not the one I seek…
I won't let you get to Japan!
What Osaki then heard was a low, malevolent laugh.
You think you can stop me? Fool! Let me show you my power…let me show you my Pain!
The word…hurt. That was the only word for it. The sound of it seemed to stab him in the brain- eternally twisting through his skull. Osaki screamed and put his hand to his head, desperately trying to fight back…to push the monster's mind away…
Pathetic! Despite such a clear demonstration of my power, you think you can win. And what's this…
Osaki felt the will of the monster's voice direct his hand up to his comm. Link.
A communicator? They've been watching. Osaki could barely hear Godzilla through the agony. How typically…human. There was disgust in the monster's voice. Enough of this. I'll let your mind rest, human.
Osaki felt the pain finally stop as Godzilla changed direction and dived into the water. The wave rocked the Griffon as Godzilla moved quickly toward Japan…
Well, that was one hell of a chapter, if I say so myself! Hope you enjoyed the battle between Godzilla and the Navy/G-Force.
Also, I hope you liked Godzilla's mental attack on Osaki at the end. Yeah, I made Osaki psychic. I haven't got mutants or anything in this story, and I figured if anyone in G-Force was to have powers, it was probably Osaki. Also I guess I kind of left the situation with Miki hanging…I'll pick back up on that in the next chapter. Godzilla is meant to seem pretty sinister and violent in this chapter, so did that come off OK? Please Review with any thoughts. I may even welcome flames for once.
