Hope you enjoyed the last chapter. I decided to post this next one to celebrate now having over 500 hits (I write to celebrate just about anything). Anyway, this chapter is, again, focused on the human characters. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer until Godzilla and Jagereth finally face off. It'll be worth the wait, though, I promise. But I promised that Miki and Rebecca would meet the GFW characters, and now I will finally deliver on that! (It took a while, I know.) You may also have noted that, in the last chapter, Godzilla hints that Miki killed someone else. That'll be explained later.
You know, this story's actually been really hard to write. Mainly because of the parts with Miki and Godzilla. That last one I re-wrote about three times. It's a labour of love, but it's still an ass-load of work…

MEETING
Pacific OceanThe rocks broke apart and an enormous shape shot up through the water. It burst through the surface, leapt into the air and spread its bat-like wings.
The humans had been foolish to think they could finish it off so easily. And now, they would pay for their stupidity.
Tokyo
Miki picked up her bag and left the classroom, Rebecca walking beside her.
"So, you feeling any better today?" Rebecca asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I think it was just a headache."
The dozens of voices around Miki suddenly acted up again. Miki put her hand to her head and tried to block them out, but it didn't go any good.
"Miki? What is it?"
Miki focused harder, but the voices kept coming…so many of them…
Godzilla!She felt the force of the monster's mind block out the thoughts. She regained her focus and looked up.
"Miki, are you OK?"
"I'm fine. Just another head-ache."
"Are you sure?"
Miki sighed. Godzilla, any suggestions?
Just one: tell her.
Tell her I'm psychic? Are you crazy?
Probably. Sure as hell I wouldn't be talking to you if I were sane.
I can't tell her.
Why the hell not?
I've never told anyone!
You never told anyone you were homeless, either.
Miki focused again, returning from a mental discussion with a giant lizard for a more normal discussion.
"Rebecca, I ought to tell you something."
"What?"
Miki took a deep breath. Oh, get on with it!
Godzilla, shut up!
And again, you blame me!
Forgetting about Godzilla, she continued: "…I'm psychic."
Rebecca was silent for a second, before bursting into laughter. "Man…" She said in between laughs, "That's good…"
Sighing, Miki began to recite a few things: "You were born in Manchester, England. Moved to Japan when your dad got a job at an electronics company. You've got a small scar on your right arm from when you fell off a bike at age 12. You still wonder if it's ever going to fade."
This time, Rebecca stayed silent, realising that her friend wasn't joking. "Woah…" was all she could manage.
After a few seconds, she managed to say something: "You're actually psychic?"
Miki demonstrated by taking a pencil out of her bag and levitating it in front of her with her mind. "Yep."
Godzilla, I told you this was a stupid idea! Now she'll just think I'm a freak, just like everyone else…
Oh, shut up! This wasn't my idea!
Yes It Was!
Rebecca's face suddenly lit up.
"That is so cool!"
"What?"
"You're psychic! That's just…that's awesome!"
Miki definitely hadn't expected this.
"And…there's a few more things I should explain."
"Trust me- after today, nothing will ever surprise me again."
"You know that Jagereth thing on the News?"
"Yeah, everyone knows about that. G-Force blew it up."
"There's just one problem. It isn't dead."
"What?"
"They just think they killed it. Jagereth's actually still alive."
"Woah."
"Wait…you actually believe me?"
"I'm standing here having a conversation with a real-life psychic. Under present circumstances, there's not a lot I won't believe."
Rebecca spent most of the day shocked that her friend was actually telepathic. While leaving school, she caught up with Miki.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Come on!" Miki answered, "I have to get to G-Force."
"Why?"
"To tell them Jagereth's still alive! Now come on!"
G-Force HQ
Miki and Rebecca somehow made it past the front guard and inside.
Miki, this isn't a good idea!Oh, shut up! What could happen?
Do you really expect them to believe you?
If they don't I can get out of here easy. I'm psychic, remember?
Yes, but…Suddenly, Miki stopped and gasped when a young G-Force soldier in his mid-20's stepped out in front of them.
…so is he.
How the hell do you know that?
We had a run-in a few days ago.
"Going somewhere?" Osaki asked.
Miki and Rebecca were both stuck in a small office, waiting for whoever was going to come in.
"So much for that," Rebecca sighed. "Any more ideas?"
"Yeah, I've got a few."
The door in front of them opened. A large, imposing man with a moustache and a brown jacket (I suck at descriptions) entered the room.
After looking at them for a few seconds, he turned to Osaki.
"How the hell did a pair of teenage girls get past security?" He asked in a gruff voice. Osaki just shrugged.
"Well, that one seems to be a telepath."
"And that should explain this how?"
"Getting in and out of places is easier when people have other things on their mind."
"Well, that answers that." He turned to Miki and Rebecca. "Now, you two, I don't know if you realise this, but this organisation…"
"For what it's worth," Miki smirked, "I already know what you're going to say next."
Just tell us what you were doing here! Came Osaki's voice.
Miki sighed.
"Jagereth's still alive."
Gordon just scoffed. "Even if I believed you, how could you possibly…"
"Psychic," Miki, Rebecca and Osaki said in unison.
"Osaki, is this true?"
"Hold on…" Osaki closed his eyes and focused for a few seconds. Suddenly, his eyes shot open. "Oh shit…"
"It's alive?"
"Worse…it's here!"
"Here? Right here?"
"Come on!"
They all ran out of the room.
Gordon, Osaki, Miki and Rebecca ran out of the front of the building to see a vast, dark shape descend toward the roof. Rows of curved, yellow teeth parted as Jagereth screeched down at them.
"Son of a bitch," Gordon sighed, "He just won't quit!"
Jagereth howled into the air and opened its mouth, a huge orange light welling up in its throat. The enormous beam shot out, straight into the side of a nearby building. As it crumbled, Jagereth swung through the air and spread its wings in mid-air.
"Well," Osaki sighed, "I can safely say that we are completely, and totally, screwed."
Oh boy! Cliff-hanger! You have to admit- this chapter got a lot done in the story! Rebecca knows that Miki is psychic, and the characters have at long last met up. Plus, Jagereth is now back with a vengeance and itching destroy anyone who so much as looks at him the wrong way!
And on that note, I now take my leave until the next chapter. Don't forget to review!
Sayonara!
