Sorry I haven't updated in the last few days, mainly due to revision and a case of writer's block. That aside, I'm now going to make it up to you with a double-update, and the conclusion to this epic struggle. However, I must announce that this update will be the last. Writing this story has been a blast, but it's time to bring it to a close. Well, all good things must come to an end. This story has truly been both challenging and massively enjoyable to write. So let's get the disclaimer out of the way and get on with the story!

ARMAGEDDON

Jagereth touched a claw to the side of its face. Its left eye was gone, with a massive, black burn in its place. It looked up, snarling in anger at the beast that had done this.

On the other side of a now-wrecked city block, Godzilla got to his feet, his wounds already healing. By now, night had fallen, and since the power plant had been smashed about an hour ago, they were in darkness, save for the light of the moon.

Jagereth shot forward across the ground, barring its teeth. Godzilla stood firm, but the impact was strong enough to knock even him to the ground. Godzilla roared in fury and shot his tail up, catching Jagereth in the face. The demon staggered, allowing Godzilla to fire an atomic ray at its stomach.

On the ground, the humans had gotten to safety.

"Everyone still breathing?" Gordon checked as he watched the two monsters fighting.

Rebecca nodded nervously; shocked at the fact that Godzilla had just saved her life.

Jagereth staggered as Godzilla began to pound it, before hitting the monster King with an extended spike. Godzilla roared in anger and fell back into the side of a building. Jagereth telekinetically lifted Godzilla and slammed him into the top of another building. Godzilla pulled himself straight back up as Jagereth prepared to stab him, and grabbed the demon's wrist, slamming him into the ground. Jagereth leapt up with another spike ready to impale the monster. Godzilla grabbed the wrist as Jagereth opened its fanged mouth, and also grabbed his enemy's neck. Jagereth thrashed in rage as Godzilla's fist tightened around his throat.

Godzilla broke off the spear and fixed the other hand on Jagereth's neck. The demon tried to pull itself loose, but it was too much.

Jagereth was both horrified and amazed- all the mightiest machines of this modern world had failed to even slow its progress. And without any other psychics, it had assured its victory. But now, this single creature had matched it move for move. And, after all the power Jagereth possessed was brought to bear, it was no use. The facts were clear: Godzilla was simply too strong. But that didn't even matter to Jagereth. It couldn't breathe, could barely stay conscious. All it could think about was breaking free. But this awesome, terrifying creature would not let it.

Finally, and desperately, Jagereth opened its mouth again and fired another huge blast. This beam burst forth, striking Godzilla right in the eye. Jagereth leapt away as it smelled the stench of burning flesh.

Godzilla fell back and lifted his hand carefully to his eye- or rather, where his eye had been. Now it was just a twisted, charred mass of burned flesh and bone.

Godzilla! Miki's mental voice came in his head, you…oh, God…your eye…

No time for that, Miki!

Taking its chance, Jagereth leapt forward, jabbing an extended spear into Godzilla's chest. This time, the stab hit its mark. It sunk through skin, flesh, ribs, and finally, organs.

Finally, Jagereth pulled out the spear, which was now soaked in blood. Godzilla collapsed to the ground, lying still in the piles of rubble.

Jagereth howled in its hard-won victory. Almost all its weapons had failed, but now…now the creature was lying in front of him, stabbed through the heart.

"Jesus Shit…" Osaki gasped, "He…"

Miki felt the tears stream down her face.

No…this couldn't be happening…everyone she cared about, she lost. Her family…Akira…and now the one creature she could ever have actually identified with, was dead.

Yet another one dead because of you! Jagereth's voice echoed in her mind.

Miki's emotion suddenly changed from grief to rage. Again, that sheer, mindless rage…

Everything went black once again, and she found herself standing before Jagereth.

DIE!

A huge burst of mental energy sent Jagereth rocketing back. It snarled and screeched, before leaping forward, only to go flying away again.

Human fool! So be it…you will join them in the darkness of death!

A huge blast shot out of Jagereth's mouth, but Miki easily swatted it away.

YOU'LL PAY!

Yet another huge force of energy sent Jagereth flying back.

No…Impossible…how could a mere human have such power…

You're going to pay for what you did!

Oh, really? Jagereth sneered, and what of you? What have I done that you haven't…

SHUT UP!

Miki was definitely in no mood for Jagereth's mind games. Another huge force struck against the creature, but this one kept going, peeling away the layers of its mental form.

ENOUGH!

Jagereth forced the blast away with all its strength.

Suddenly, Miki's eyes flashed open. She was standing there, with the others, again.

She'd failed. She was the only one with a chance to beat it…and she'd failed.

Suddenly, the mountains of rubble split apart as Jagereth rocketed across the rooftops, toward them.

"Move!" Osaki yelled as the group scrambled. Miki turned away along with them, but suddenly, something made her turn round…

Jagereth suddenly stopped for a split-second, with a shocked expression on its face. In an instant, Miki saw that something had grabbed its tail…

Jagereth slammed into the ground as Godzilla roared in anger.

Impossible! Jagereth's mental voice gasped, you should be dead! There was no way you could have survived!

Funny, Godzilla's mind smirked, No-one told me!

Godzilla's fist slammed into Jagereth's face.

Now… Godzilla snarled, where were we?

Godzilla's fist pounded into Jagereth's face again and again. The demon fell to the ground, Godzilla still pounding at it. It screeched in pain as its bones began to break. Desperately, he finally managed to throw Godzilla off before rising into the air. It snarled in rage and fired another blast from its mouth. Godzilla simply raised his arm and blocked the searing energy beam.

Don't you ever die? Jagereth howled mentally.

Jagereth shot down again, diggings its talons into Godzilla's side. Lightening rained from its wings as Godzilla suddenly glared up.

An enormous light suddenly welled up in the back of Godzilla's mouth. Jagereth tried to pull away, only to realise Godzilla was holding onto its wings. It struggled wildly as Godzilla unleashed the blast…

What- you didn't think I'd actually kill the big guy, did you? Anyway, proceed if you dare to the final chapter…
