Sorry this update took slightly longer, this was for a number of reasons.
My computer crashed, and the chapter was lost so I had to write the whole thing again.
I've got tests coming up and the revision I need to do is likely to seriously cut into my writing time.
But enough of my grievances! I'm back online and here's a nice action-loaded chapter. I'll be getting back to the situation with Miki and Godzilla before long, and Osaki, Miyuki and Gordon will be involved in the story soon. Enjoy!
ATTACK
TokyoRebecca sat on her bed and finally finished her Math homework. It was now Sunday Night, 9 PM. She looked out the window, thinking about what Miki had told her on Friday.
How could she not have seen it? She may have only been in Japan for about a week, but she walked down that street on the way to school every day. How could she not see it?
Sighing, she walked over to the TV and flicked it on. The show started, but was suddenly interrupted.
"We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for this urgent news bulletin. A flying Kaiju has appeared over Tokyo. All citizens must evacuate immediately!"
Rebecca instantly turned off the TV, while her mother started calling to her. Suddenly, something outside the window attracted her attention. At first, it was difficult to see against the night sky.
A huge, dark shape was moving lithely through the air. Moving quickly. As it got closer, enormous wings came into view as it shot over the rooftops, sending rubble flying out in all directions.
And then she realised- it was heading right for her!
She instantly ran out into the corridor as her mother called from downstairs. She ran to the top of the stairs.
A split-second later, the wall behind her seemed to explode, as a massive talon tore through the side of the building. She ran desperately down the stairs as they collapsed behind her. But it was too late. The staircase beneath her gave way. She looked up to see the roof torn away as a massive shape rose into the air.
Then, everything went black…
The huge monster rose into the air above the torn-out apartment building. It whirled round in the air and surveyed the swath of destruction it had cut through the city. It screeched in delight and shot toward a pair of skyscrapers. As it neared them, it turned to fly on its side, the shockwave causing the windows on the buildings to explode. It swept down into the street, sending entire buildings crashing to the ground as it landed on all fours. A massive, orange blast suddenly shot out of its mouth, cutting straight through a skyscraper as the huge structure turned to rubble.
A sudden volley of missiles shot into the creature's side. It spun round to face the sudden attack as a row of vehicle-mounted missile launchers and Maser tanks rolled through the streets. The demon screeched in anger and, with a single flap of its wings, took off through the street. The Masers and missiles shot at its sides, exploding harmlessly. As it flew up, it tore straight through the forces with its talons. It shot up into the dark sky, leaving a fiery explosion behind.
A pair of missiles shot into its back as a squadron of jets flew through the air around it.
"Red leader, we have the target in sight. Prepared to engage."
"Roger that. Open fire!"
The jets immediately closed in on the creature, launching their missiles before veering up. The flying demon simply shrugged off the impact and shot up after them, lashing out and tearing three of them apart in its claws and fangs. A sudden bolt of lightening shot from one its wings, cutting straight through a fourth.
The remaining jets opened fire again. The monster took off through the air after one of the craft, savagely snapping its jaws behind it.
"This is Red-12! He's on my six! I can't shake him!"
The creature's jaws snapped shut, crushing the plane behind them. It turned round and shot another orange blast out of its mouth, blasting through another two of them. As another opened fire behind it, the demon sent the jet crashing to the ground with a single flick of its tail.
The remaining five of the 12 jets fired their entire payloads into the beast's face. It screeched in anger and shot into the air, swiping its wrist through the air. A pair of sharp, black spikes shot out straight through two of the jets. It fired one more blast from its mouth, disintegrating the last three in mid-air.
After taking one more glance at the fiery path it had cut through the city, the demon screeched at the top of its lungs and shot out through the air, flying at staggering speed over the sea…
Thus we have our first glimpse at the power of the sinister Jagereth! I know it's not as long as my usual Human Vs. Monster chapters, but I wanted to get across just how much damage Jagereth can do, and how quickly it can do it. Please review- all opinions welcome!
