Well, first I'd like to thank you all for your patience in waiting for me to develop the story line, flesh out the characters, yadda, yadda, yadda. Anyway, this is it…the moment you've all been waiting for…the battle is, finally and at long last, about to begin!
Well, I won't keep you any longer. Enjoy!

FACE-OFF
Jagereth shot round the buildings on the outskirts of the city, screeching its rage as the buildings exploded from the shockwave. It whirled round in mid-air and, with a flick of its wrists, sent a pair of thick spikes flying through a building. Lightening shot from its wings, burning through the buildings around it as they crashed to the ground.
Suddenly, Jagereth looked out over the city, suddenly tense. It snarled toward the ocean and, with a flap of its wings, began sailing across the buildings toward the bay.
"What's it doing?" Gordon asked, watching the demon's progress.
Miki's face lit up. Osaki, however, looked terrified.
They both uttered a single name: "Godzilla…"
Jagereth shot over the bay, perching itself on top of a skyscraper. It screeched down at the water, which was beginning to boil and froth. An enormous shape emerged in the water, breaking up from the surface. The water fell from the back of a virtual skyscraper of scaled and spines as Godzilla bellowed at the top of his lungs. Still waist-deep in water, he made his way toward the bay, as Jagereth spread its wings. The two monsters roared in challenge to each other and tensed their muscles.
A massive burst of energy shot from Godzilla's mouth. Jagereth shot down the building, avoiding the searing blast, and shot toward Godzilla. However, with a single blow, Godzilla sent his enemy flying back. Jagereth used its wings to brake itself as Godzilla fired another lethal blast. Jagereth shot up into the air and shot a huge burst of orange energy from its mouth. The blast hit Godzilla right in the chest, but all it did was enrage him. Jagereth then swept through the air, sticking out its arms and extending a thick spike from its wrist. It caught Godzilla as it flew past, cutting deep into his flesh. However, before Jagereth pulled it out, Godzilla grabbed the spike and ripped it off. As Jagereth howled in pain, Godzilla jabbed the spike into the front of his enemy and grabbed Jagereth's tail, proceeding to slam him into the side of a building.
Jagereth dragged itself to its feet as Godzilla charged at it, before slamming into the demon and forcing it into the side of a building. He struck Jagereth in the face, pounding it further into the building as it started to crumble. People in the streets started running for their lives as the terrible titans locked in combat hundreds of feet above their heads. Jagereth fell straight through the building as Godzilla picked it up by the head and slammed it into the ground, the very earth beneath it crumbling from the massive impact.
Miki, Gordon, Osaki and Rebecca ran into the G-Force building, with troops scrambling about.
"We have to get those things out of there," Gordon said to Osaki, "God knows how much damage the two of them could do."
Miyuki suddenly burst into the foyer.
"Osaki!" She called, " Katagiri wants you and Gordon on the Gotengo and…who are those two?"
"Not sure," Osaki answered, "But they seem to know more about what's going on here than we do."
Godzilla and Jagereth, meanwhile, had wound up in an oil refinery in Tokyo Bay. The two of them howled at each other again, as Godzilla fired another burst of his atomic breath. Jagereth effortlessly dodged the deadly beam, but it didn't matter.
The blast struck into the side of an oil container, creating a huge explosion that carried across the whole refinery, sending the whole place up in a titanic ball of fire.
The flames parted as Godzilla looked round, searching for his enemy. Suddenly, Jagereth shot from the flames behind him, knocking Godzilla to the ground as it spun round in mid-air and fired a volley of lightening from its wings.
As Jagereth swept toward him, Godzilla grabbed his enemy by the arms and threw him over his head. As Jagereth righted himself, Godzilla swung round and fired another blast, straight into the demon's side. Jagereth went flying back through a number of buildings before coming to a stop. Godzilla roared and charged toward his foe.
Osaki and Gordon were running across the gantry to the bridge of the Gotengo.
Any ideas, kid? Miki heard Osaki ask as she watched.
Just one: Let Godzilla handle it.
What?
Look, if Godzilla wins, he'll go back to the sea. But Jagereth will just keep destroying the city. Like it or not, Godzilla's our only chance.
We can't just let them trash the entire town!
With a titanic blow from Godzilla, Jagereth went flying into the side of a highway. It mercifully stayed up, but many people in their cars looked on in horror and amazement as Godzilla charged up a nuclear blast. He parted his jaws and prepared to launch the blast.Godzilla, no!
Taking advantage of Godzilla's sudden surprise, Jagereth shot forward, sinking its talons into Godzilla and using its tail to trip the monster. However, as Godzilla fell, he fired off his blast, catching Jagereth in the face and knocking the demon back.
Miki, do you have any idea how badly you timed that?Godzilla, you'd have killed them too!
Godzilla grabbed Jagereth's fist as the demon attacked, and swung his enemy into the side of a building.
Perhaps, but Jagereth would be dead too!You can't just kill them!
Miki, if Jagereth isn't stopped, he'll kill everything on this planet!
Jagereth's tail struck Godzilla in the side of the face, knocking the Monster King to the ground. Godzilla struck up with his fist, knocking Jagereth to the ground.
We can evacuate the city quickly enough. Just try and keep Jagereth in the bay.
Godzilla mentally sighed in frustration. Fine. God, I think you're starting to rub off on me.
Godzilla grabbed Jagereth's tail and started slamming the other monster into the ground. As Jagereth thrashed, Godzilla heaved him over his shoulder, throwing him into the water. Jagereth thrashed its way up and screeched at Godzilla. They charged at each other, meeting with tremendous force. Being the physically stronger, Godzilla pushed Jagereth back, further into the water until it became waist-deep.
Miki, Rebecca, Miyuki and Anna watched the screen as several G-Force ships descended to pick up the citizens.
How quickly can they get the city evacuated? Miki asked psychically.
Fast enough. The Gotengo's almost ready.
Godzilla can handle it.
It's him I'm worried about.
Just trust me!
For Christ's sake, why do you trust that lizard?
Miki sighed and looked up at the screen, part of which showed Godzilla and Jagereth fighting. She never actually thought she'd be rooting for Godzilla in a fight.
Maybe Godzilla was just the lesser of two evils. Or maybe not…maybe he really wasn't what she- and the world- thought. It had taken her all this time to see that.
Godzilla pulled Jagereth down into the water. Now he had the advantage- in the water, he was in his element- and Jagereth definitely wasn't an underwater fighter.
Godzilla continued to pummel Jagereth as the demon struggled, biting into Godzilla's neck. Godzilla roared in pain and anger and burst through the surface of the water, tearing Jagereth from his neck. The demon flew up into the air and flicked its wrist, firing a burst of long, thick stingers. They burst into Godzilla's skin as the monster roared in pain and fury. Jagereth extended another spike on its wrist and shot over the water toward Godzilla. However, Godzilla grabbed the spike and pulled Jagereth back down into the water.
Finally, the water became calm. After a few seconds, however, Jagereth burst through the surface, with several deep cuts on its chest. Godzilla burst up from the water behind it and swarm toward shore in pursuit.
Jagereth spun round over the bay, roaring at Godzilla as the Monster King fired another searing blast. Jagereth dodged effortlessly and shot toward Godzilla, clawing at the monster's chest.
"How much longer?" Miki asked Miyuki as she watched the evacuation proceed.
"We have drills for this a lot," Miyuki explained, "But it'll be a while."
Rebecca herself looked in horror at a screen, which showed a satellite image of the monsters, and the nearest district to them.
"Oh my God…"
"What?"
"That…that's where my parents are!"
Godzilla slammed Jagereth into the ground and kicked his enemy in the side of its head. As it went flying, Jagereth shot into the air, but suddenly descended in front of Godzilla with a malevolent grin.
A sudden orange light enveloped Jagereth's fist. A faint glow instantly spread to Godzilla's whole body, and the monster king suddenly rose into the air. With a flick of its wrist, Jagereth suddenly sent Godzilla flying back, into the water. It cackled and, with another gesture, sent Godzilla rocketing away through the water.
Godzilla! Are you OK?
It takes more than that to beat me, Miki. But this is a problem…
Why?
Because, Godzilla answered as he pulled himself up to his feet, Jagereth is telekinetic!
Jagereth shot toward Godzilla, sending the monster flying away with a single gesture. Godzilla, however, stood his ground despite the immense, force, digging his claws into the Earth. He fired an enormous blast from his mouth, catching Jagereth in the wing and knocking it into the water. Godzilla started pounding Jagereth into the water, but suddenly a huge light welled up in Jagereth's throat. A huge blast knocked Godzilla to his feet, and Jagereth instantly stood and pointed its wrists at Godzilla, before a pair of long spikes shot out, into Godzilla's chest. More and more spikes shot out, covering the monster's chest and arms. After firing bolts of lightening from its wings, Jagereth howled in victory and turned round to continue its attack on the city.
Suddenly, Godzilla shot up and grabbed Jagereth's tail, pulling the demon to the ground as he bellowed in rage, pulling the spikes from his chest.
The two monsters stared each other down again, tensing their muscles. An enormous blast shot from each of their mouths, before meeting in between the two monsters. As the beams collided, a huge explosion suddenly burst forth, consuming both monsters in the enormous blast.
"Not much longer," Anna sighed, "About a third of the city left to go. Thing is, that's the third nearest to those monsters."
Rebecca let out a terrified gasp.
"They'll be fine," Miki reassured her.
Rebecca still kept staring at the screen.
Godzilla and Jagereth pulled themselves to their feet and briefly looked around. By now, they'd trashed the entire bay.Miki, I don't think I can hold Jagereth off for much longer!
It won't be much longer, Godzilla.
I may not be able to keep this up at all. If it's to save the entire planet…
Godzilla, Rebecca's parents are near the two of you!
I fail to see why that's your concern, Miki. Frankly, if they had any sense they'd have run for the hills by now.
Godzilla, please! She paused for a second. Godzilla…I can't let her go through…
…What you've been though, Godzilla finished for her. OK. I'll try.
Godzilla turned to Jagereth and tensed himself, ready to continue the fight…
Well, that's a full 6 pages of giant-monster ass-kickery. Hope it was worth the wait! Anyway, there's still more info on Miki's past to come, and plenty more action!
Please Review- and stick around, this is going to be one hell of a fight!
