Well, my Dad's sorting an anti-virus update or something. So I decided, 'what the hell,' I might as well get another chapter done while I'm waiting.

Now, advice please: I'm thinking of a sequel to this story, which will carry on the characters and bring in several other monsters (Anguirus, Rodan, Mothra and Godzilla Junior to name a few) and possibly some new ones. Any thoughts?

NEW PLAN

Jagereth thrust the spike forward, toward the flesh of Godzilla's neck.

Suddenly, however, Godzilla's head shot down and he bit down on the spike, tearing straight through it with his teeth and breaking it clean off.

Jagereth screeched in rage as it flew back, tensing itself ready for battle.

"How's it going?" Gordon asked over the radio.

"Hard to say," Anna answered, "So far neither of them has managed to get a lasting advantage. They could keep fighting all day at this rate. Thing is, they're also trashing the whole place."

Miki, however, was struggling. She could feel it…she felt the animalistic power and fury within Godzilla. She felt the thrill of the battle. And she felt his growing frustration and anger. It was clear to her just how Godzilla always managed to do so much damage.

She continued to watch the screen as Godzilla and Jagereth charged at each other yet again. Suddenly, Jagereth fired off a massive blast right in Godzilla's face and knocked him to the ground, before firing a burst of spikes into his side.

Godzilla! Are you alright?

I'll be fine…but I really need to concentrate for this!

Pathetic… Jagereth's mental voice suddenly cut through Miki's mind. A creature that fights like that…yet cares so much for such a pitiful creatures. And yet, just a few days ago you'd have gladly ripped this city to the ground.

People can change. So can Kaiju.

I don't call it change. I think that being connected to that little human has made you soft. The main reason I hoped to fight you was to take on the best that this modern world has to offer. And now, I can't say I'm impressed.

No…I'm not going soft. All I've done is see the truth.

What truth is that? You sought to destroy these creatures for what they did this planet…

No. Not to destroy them…just to make them see.

And in the process, wipe one city after another off the map! Which makes you better than me…how?

Godzilla, Miki interrupted, He's messing with you!

I know. And I won't let him.

Fool! Jagereth sneered, But…what need is there to defend these humans? Just give up now. Save yourself the trouble.

Myself? Godzilla half-laughed, On the contrary, there are few things I enjoy more than a good fight. And I do not give up.

You gave up your hatred of these humans.

I never hated them. I never enjoyed what I have to do. And now…now I've seen that I don't have to. Not any more. And I'm not going to. But there's one thing I will do- and that's tear you apart!

And why's that? What have I done that you never had?

This. This killing.

It's no worse than what you've done!

I had a reason.

And that makes it excusable?

No. But that's over. I don't have to do all of that, ever again. And I won't let it happen again!

Oh, really…

Shut up! I'm not letting you mess with my mind.

No need. All I needed was a time to recover.

To do what?

Jagereth cackled. This!

Miki felt a sudden surge of mental energy surge through her. No…not her…Godzilla!

Godzilla roared in pain as the full force of Jagereth's mental power cut through his mind like a knife. He felt all the evil…all the rage…all the malice that drove Jagereth.

Foolish! Jagereth hissed, Foolish to let your guard down…now you see? I just had to occupy your mind and work my way in. And now, all I have to do is peel away the layers of your mind!

Godzilla howled into the air in agony as his legs buckled beneath him.

"What's happening?" Rebecca asked as she watched Godzilla collapse to his knees.

"Jagereth's in Godzilla's mind," Miki gasped, "Oh god…it's…it's killing him!"

Weird chapter, I know. But still, you have to admit that what Jagereth's doing here is very, very evil. Anyway, I'm short on time, but now I've set up the events of the next chapter. And the next chapter is likely to be another highlight to this story. There will be action, drama and some startling revelations! Don't miss it!

Please review!
