I'm back again! I'm now uploading a full three-chapter update, to celebrate already having over 350 hits (in my book, that's as good a reason as any to celebrate!), and to commemorate hitting double-figures! Plus, I want to celebrate that I grossed-out my entire biology class today when I took pig's eyes and a brain in for dissection!

There's one hell of a serious smiting about to kick off here. The Gotengo is involved, as well as some of my own craft. And so, without further ado, on with the tale!

SHOWDOWN

Pacific Ocean

The Gotengo shot at blinding speeds across the water, whipping up torrents of surf behind it as the crew readied themselves for battle.

"Target on Radar," One of the technicians reported, "Approaching at…that's impossible…Mach-3!"

"Mach-3?" Gordon thought out loud, "Jesus…this thing's almost as fast as Rodan! It'll be hard to even hit the bastard…"

"Dogfighter ready to deploy," Osaki called over the radio.

"Roger that. Stand by."

Before long, the dark shape appeared on the horizon, heading straight for them over the ocean.

"Fire!"

A wave of missiles shot from all sides of the Gotengo, homing in on the flying creature. It rolled through the air toward them, the missiles exploding harmlessly on its sides.

"Evasive action!"

The Gotengo shot underneath the creature, Maser cannons on its sides opening fire against the monster's underbelly. It howled in anger and struck out with its claws, missing the ship.

"Deploy Dogfighter!"

A compartment on the bottom of the ship opened, and the Dogfighter, a hi-tech aircraft, shot out from beneath, Osaki at the controls.

The Dogfighter shot a volley of missiles at the creature. It snapped out at the craft, before a burst of Maser fire from the Gotengo interrupted it. The monster howled in anger, and with a flap of its wings, suddenly shot out a bolt of lightening. Osaki's craft rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly blast. The creature turned its attention to the Gotengo, before another orange blast shot out of its mouth. The Gotengo shot upwards, avoiding the beam.

"Osaki," Gordon called, "What can you tell us about this thing?"

Osaki focused on the creature as he continued to fire, trying to avoid the lethal blasts. He focused on trying to get into its mind, trying to enter its consciousness…

Suddenly, he felt a wave of white-hot agony wash over him, just as he touched the demon's mind. He felt like he was being stabbed all over. He could barely see through the pain…

One of the monster's talons finally hit his craft's wing, tearing it clean off and sending it crashing down.

"Osaki!"

"Captain! Target's approaching!"

The monster shot through the air, toward the Gotengo.

"Fire Maser Cannon!"

The drill on the front of the ship began to spin even faster, before a beam of red energy shot from the front, striking the front of the flying monster. It roared in anger, firing another beam from its mouth. This one connected with the ship, bringing up explosions across its hull.

"Status!"

"Shields at 75!"

"Fire Missiles!"

A burst of missiles shot from one side of the ship, pelting the creature in the face as it flew past. The monster spun round in mid-air, as lightening again shot from its wings. The Gotengo shot forward, narrowly avoiding the blast.

"Fire Maser cannon!"

Another blast shot out of the ship, but the monster flew to the side, easily avoiding the blast and flying at the Gotengo from behind. A burst of missiles shout out, but the creature dodged every single one of them, digging its talons into the ship.

"It's in the hull!"

"Shake it off!"

The Gotengo whirled round in the air, trying to force the monster off of it. Nonetheless, it held on tight, tearing through the ship's hull.

"Submerge!"

"What?"

"Submerge! That's an order!"

With the monster still firmly attached, the Gotengo shot downward, straight under the water. At the fell of the cold ocean, the creature immediately released the ship, but as it flew up, a sudden surge of spikes shot from its wrists, blasting straight through the hull and forcing out huge explosions in the side of the ship.

"Status!"

"Shields are down, the Starboard Engine's down, we're taking in water through the hull and Missile launchers 3, 5 and 7 are down!"

Gordon angrily watched the radar screen as the creature continued its flight toward Tokyo. He flipped a switch, contacting Osaki.

"You OK, Kid?"

"I'm Fine."

"Learn anything?"

"Not much. But I found something out."

"What's that?"

"That thing's been around a long time… a really long time. It's called Jagereth…they sealed it under Mt. Fuji…"

"Who did?"

"I don't know. But whoever did it, they didn't want that thing coming back. Because…"

"Because what?"

Osaki paused. "…12,000 years ago, it tried to destroy the Planet." He sighed heavily, "And now it wants to finish the job."

Yeah, kinda short, I know. But there's way too much to this battle to fit the entire thing into a single chapter. But this isn't over yet. Anyway, now at least there's some idea where Jagereth came from. Question is, can it be stopped?
