NIGHTMARE

Miki and Rebecca dashed through the streets, to see Godzilla collapse to his knees, with Jagereth towering over him.

"Are we too late?" Rebecca asked.

Miki shook her head. "There's not much time…"

"So can you do this?"

"I don't have much of a choice. Unless I do this, the whole planet's doomed."

She looked up, focusing on Godzilla as everything around her faded into darkness and she approached Godzilla's stricken mental form.

She came to a stop next to the torn form of the monster.

Miki…

Godzilla, hold on! I can…

No…

I can help!

What makes you so sure of that? Jagereth suddenly cackled, as Miki felt herself surrounded by lightening. With a thought, she forced the lightening away, standing defiantly before Jagereth.

Strong for a human, aren't you? Powerful…more powerful than any human should be!

Miki was by no means in the mood to listen to this. With a sudden, immense force, she sent Jagereth staggering back. The demon hissed in fury as Miki stood angrily before it.

Impressive, human…but nowhere near enough to save you!

Jagereth suddenly darted forward, plunging its claw into Miki's stomach. She screamed in pain as lightening flowed through her mental form. With an almighty effort, she finally forced Jagereth away.

Yes…powerful. And yet…I can sense it in you…as I sense it in him…You are not like other humans…other telepaths.

Don't try your mind-games with me!

Ha! You dare to threaten me? Jagereth scoffed. Pathetic little…

Shut up!

And angry…no…not just anger… Jagereth hunched over, seeming to stare right through her soul with those blood-red eyes…

Get away from me!

What's the matter, human? Jagereth mocked, Scared?

With a massive psychic force, Miki sent the demon flying back.

Yes…you are afraid…but…not of me…if anything, you are afraid of…yourself…

I warned you, don't pull those tricks of yours on me, you sick, murdering…

Murdering? And what's the difference between that and what you've done…

Shut up!

Why? You just don't want to hear it.

I just don't intend of surrendering the moral high ground to a…

A what? Killer? Murderer? What about those two thugs in the alley?

I…I was…

You were angry. And you still remember that feeling…that rage…that terrible, mindless rage…and in that state, it's so easy, isn't it? So easy to kill…

Stop it! How do you even…

Know about that? I was in Godzilla's mind, remember? And thanks to that link, I was in yours as well. I was inside your head without you ever knowing. And I know what you did…all those years ago…

Miki couldn't bear to be reminded of it. With another mental push, she forced Jagereth even further back.

What's the matter, human? Can't face up to it, can you?

I'm not the one who tore the middle of this city to the ground…

And I'm not the one who killed my own father!

Those words cut through Miki like a knife. She'd been haunted by that memory all her life…the memory of that awful day…

See? It's so easy to do, so hard to forget… yes, I know about what happened to you. About how your father blamed you for your mother's death. About the beating that awaited you every day when you got home. I know about how it only got worse when your powers developed… Stop it!

I know about all the voices, all the psychiatrists, and most of all, I know about the pain. Because however much you wanted to, you couldn't forget. And in the end, all it took was that moment of rage…that moment of mindless rage…for him to end up thrown through a window!

STOP IT!

Miki's pain and anger were now beyond comparison. With a huge force, she sent Jagereth falling to its knees.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Jagereth's face shot up, and before she could react, it fired another burst of energy. Miki easily sent it rocketing into nothingness.

Fine! I admit it! I killed him! Just like those two in the alley! I killed him! Just like how I'll kill YOU!

Jagereth simply sucked up the next impact and laughed.

So, in what way are you better than me, human? Because…think about it- when you killed them…when you watched them die…you enjoyed it, didn't you? You enjoyed every second of it! You're a killer. Just. Like. Me…

SHUT UP!

A blast even more powerful than the others shot into Jagereth's face, sending it flying back.

I am nothing like you! And I never will be!

Pathetic human! This could have been easy…I could have just killed you outright and gotten on with it. But now, I think I'll kill you nice and slow…

Jagereth sent out another mental push, forcing Miki backwards.

See? You can't beat me, human!

Suddenly, Miki's expression turned to a smile. She dropped her guard.

I don't have to!

What?

All I needed to do was keep you busy!

Jagereth was suddenly horrified.

You…

Behind Miki, Godzilla's mental image was now fully formed again, tense, and ready to fight.


Miki's eyes shot open. She found that Rebecca was holding her up.

"Miki!" She gasped, "Are you OK?"

"Yeah…why?"

"You passed out! Or…is that normal?"

"It's basically normal," Miki said as she stepped forward. "It worked!"

"You mean…"

I front of them, Godzilla rose up from the rubble, roaring at the top of his lungs. Jagereth tensed itself as Godzilla stood before it, restored to his full strength.

They both roared in challenge and charged toward each other…


And the big guy is back in the game! So, how's that for a surprise revelation? Miki killing her own father… surprising? Anyway, there's one more explanation of her past on the way later, which should tie up any remaining questions.

For now, though, please Review, check back soon, and get ready- there's one hell of a serious smiting about to kick of…
