No pontificating today- straight into the story!

FINAL BATTLE

The sun was setting over the horizon, filling the air with an orange glow as Godzilla and Jagereth collided with earth-shattering force. As the Earth beneath them split apart from the force of the shockwave, Godzilla instantly began hammering Jagereth with both fists. Jagereth staggered back as Godzilla continued pounding it. Even as it kept thrashing, it was forced back through a building as it screeched in fury.

Godzilla roared in anger as Jagereth flew up into the air. He fired another searing stream of radioactivity, catching Jagereth in the leg. The demon howled in rage and shot down toward Godzilla, extending a spike on its wrist. It thrust the spike downward, but Godzilla grabbed it and forced it into the ground. However, Jagereth kept going, and the spike broke off as it crashed into a building. Godzilla swung round and picked Jagereth up, before pounding it in the face as it continued to trash. Finally he grabbed its tail and swung it straight through another tower.

Osaki had finally made it down to the streets, and was now nearing the downed Gotengo. Gordon and his crew were outside the huge ship.

"Hey, Kid," Gordon sighed, "That your idea of being careful?"

"I didn't see you doing any better."

"Guess it doesn't matter now, anyway." Gordon looked up onto the air as, several blocks away, the monsters continued fighting.

"Wait a minute…"

As Godzilla swung Jagereth through the air, he finally let go, sending the demon flying…

…Straight towards them!

"Shit! Move!"

The crew scrambled as Jagereth collided with the side of the Gotengo, before pulling itself up as Godzilla tore through the buildings towards it.

Jagereth snarled and shot up into the air, firing out a volley of spikes. Godzilla swatted most of them away, but several of them still dug into his flesh. Godzilla roared in anger and fired another blast. Jagereth simply barrel-rolled in mid-air, dodging the lethal energy stream before unfolding its wings to fire a burst of lightening. Godzilla simply sucked up the impact and kept running at him.

With a single gesture, Jagereth telekinetically raised Godzilla from the ground. As the Monster struggles, Jagereth slammed him into the base of a skyscraper. The entire structure caved in, collapsing in a veritable mountain of rubble atop Godzilla's head.

Jagereth howled in glee and descended to the ground, near the rubble and the still, unmoving monster. As it approached, it extended a spike, ready to finish the battle…

A burst of nuclear energy suddenly shot forth from the rubble, blasting Jagereth in the face and knocking it to the ground. Godzilla pulled himself up and kicked Jagereth in the gut, sending it flying back. Jagereth got to its feet as Godzilla slammed into it, forcing it through an entire city block. Jagereth finally kicked Godzilla off before firing a burst of energy from its mouth. Godzilla easily withstood the impact and returned fire, hitting Jagereth right in the stomach.

Miki and Rebecca ran through the streets as, not far away, Godzilla and Jagereth were still locked in mortal combat. By now they'd devastated a large part of the city, and by the looks of things, it was only going to get worse.

Jagereth shot over their heads, screeching in challenge at Godzilla.

Finally, they found them- the G-Force crew, near a wrecked Gotengo, with the damaged Griffon on a nearby rooftop.

"You two!" Osaki gasped, "What the hell are…"

"Long story. No time. Are you OK?"

"Everyone's in one piece. Pretty lucky, considering the damage those things are doing."

"Just be glad there's no-one in those buildings," Gordon answered.

Miki looked out over the city as the monsters continued to fight.

Jagereth shot away from Godzilla, hovering between him and Tokyo Tower. Godzilla fired another huge burst of power, but Jagereth shot upwards. The beam shot straight into the tower, and it exploded in a massive ball of fire. The entire structure collapsed to the ground as a huge, metal spear of burning wreckage. Finally, it slammed into the top of a building, collapsing right through it.

Jagereth extended another spike and began cutting at Godzilla's chest, until the monster grabbed the spike and broke it off, before jabbing it into Jagereth's chest. The monster screeched in fury and sent Godzilla flying away with a burst of its telekinesis. Godzilla landed on all fours, before shooting up to his feet and firing another burst of radioactive breath. Jagereth rolled in the air, dodging the searing blast, which collided with the side of a building.

Then, Godzilla realised it. Right in front of that building was…

Rebecca looked up and screamed as the rubble descended towards them.

"Move!" Gordon yelled to his men as they scrambled. Rebecca instantly went to run, over to trip and fall to the ground.

"Rebecca!" Miki shouted as she watched helplessly. Finally, using all her power, she thrust up at the rocks with her hand, stopping them in mid-air.

"Run!" She yelled through the strain, "I can't…hold…"

"Miki, you'll be killed!"

Miki couldn't even hear her. Her mind still hadn't recovered from the battle with Jagereth. It was too much…

Finally, she collapsed, and the rubble, ten floors above them, started to fall. As they both screamed, they suddenly realised that nothing was happening. Miki looked up to see an immense, scaly hand holding up the rubble as Godzilla looked down at her.

Miki! Run!

Taking its chance, Jagereth shot down and, extending a spike, jabbed it into Godzilla's side. Godzilla howled in pain and fury as he collapsed into the building. Miki and Rebecca ran for it as the Monster King collapsed to the ground. Jagereth leapt back through the air, screeching in glee as Godzilla got to his feet and pulled out the spike. He bellowed in fury at Jagereth and fired off a nuclear blast.

Jagereth shot up into the air, howling in challenge, before extending spears on both wrists and shooting down toward Godzilla. Godzilla braced himself and charged up a nuclear blast.

When Jagereth finally struck, Godzilla was sent flying to the ground, but his blast still went off, catching Jagereth in the face. The demon roared in pain as they both collapsed to the ground.
