HAPPY EASTER!
Does anybody know if there has been a chocolate Godzilla or Unit-01 that have been made?
This chapter will be very lore heavy so that it can shed some light on the story as well as adding other elements that will keep you guessing.
I am pleased to know that most of you got the two movie references I made but I was surprised that nobody got the videogame reference! The gauss rifle Shinji used in training is based on the iconic Terran weapon from StarCraft. I know some of you might think that Nerv is plagiarizing that weapon from Blizzard but in this universe, StarCraft was never made. The same goes for Demolition Man. Let that sink in for a while…
Review time!
Thunder Dragon: I read the fic and it was incredible! I left a review for the author and I can't wait to see more!
Mythfan: Thank you.
ultron emperor: That movie was my childhood!
Hercules8: Thanks and I'm still waiting for confirmation. If nothing happens, I'm going job hunting again.
Gold 1992: Thank for the encouragement.
Quite so but she will be much better in this fic.
Your mind can't repel scariness of that magnitude!
Amen to that.
Good point. It's the same here in the USA and its gets really annoying from time to time.
LMFAO!
LOL! That guy is a hoot! The Bridge Bunnies just like to joke around with him. Funny story though, I was originally going to have Fred from Big Hero 6 be an American Eva pilot and be the comic relief of this fic but I knew it just wouldn't work so I swapped him out for Mari.
Thanks for the advice. I will add the battery idea in sometime after the Israfel fight.
While it's true Shinji took that a little bit too well he will begin to have more second thoughts about the Evas as the series goes on.
Ha! Hope to hear from you again, bud!
Guest #1: The Angel lineup will consist of those seen in the anime, Rebuild movies, games, concept art and EU. There will be a lot. Megaguirus is technically a prehistoric species of insect so yes; she will be on Godzilla's side. She won't lay eggs by the way!
Junior VB: Such a delightful little scamp, ain't he?
SupernalGodzilla: Coming soon to the PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch consoles!
Guest #2: I will see what I can do.
Guest #3: Yeah…the show had a nasty reputation for going from 1 to holy f***balls in the span of a few seconds.
Ani8900: Glad to see you recognized them!
Nigel: I already had a team assembled a long time ago but those are some excellent suggestions!
Jurassic Writer: Kong will have a full time appearance and don't worry; it won't be romance or a bond. Sorry if I scared you! I saw the after credits scene and I am so ready.
Story Artist: I still debating on whether I want to put the Trilopods in this story and everything else pertaining to them as well as the alien on Pluto is secret. I'm hoping too!
The Balance: Thanks!
Romance Maker: It's definitely not going to be Beauty and the Beast.
The Question: After this is the school section and the next chapter after that one is the Shamshel fight!
Kaiju LOVER: The Shobijin will appear in this chapter and they also appeared in the very first chapter to Shinji, instead of Rei. They will share their knowledge sometime in the future.
Pizza King: You will find out in this chapter!
Gojira Defender: It won't be anything like Nick or Zilla and she will appear in the next chapter.
Monster Island: The names for some of the series Kaiju are perfect! Is it okay if I can use them?
MONSTER BATTLE: Hedora will be 100% evil in this.
Coo-Hatch: You're welcome! Komodothrax will be in this story but no offspring. Orga will appear too!
Beastrider9: Woah! That sounds so much better than mine! I had a lot of difficulty trying to have Ritsuko explain what Evas are without revealing what they really are. Kong will appear sometime in the future and Skull Island is here!
Blazedragon94: The Ultramen won't appear but I appreciate your enthusiasm!
Gojira Geek: The whole happy thoughts thing is some I came up with, no reference involved.
Guest #4: I'm planning on making those things useful for once.
Guest #5: Mabye!

Guest #8: Relax, it's here!
Guest #9: I have read it and it's a great read!
Abhinav Chhetri: Try not to sound so mean next time. Godzilla roar can be very loud, I have read that fic and you really need to work on your grammar.
Evangelion and Godzilla belong to their respective owners. I do not own either of them.
Chapter 9
Sorrow of the King
SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN
Godzilla felt like he had been swimming for an eternity. He had scoured every square inch of the world's oceans for the past several days and he couldn't sense his comrades anywhere. As he began to run out of leads, his sense of isolation grew. Pretty soon, he had to face the facts: he was now the only Kaiju left in the world.
Emerging from the crimson sea, Godzilla floated in the water as he began to think of anything he hadn't tried yet. He couldn't explorethe entirety of the planet for several good reasons. As mighty as he was, he couldn't trek across an entire continent, let alone all of them. It would take him weeks to do that and he didn't have the energy to do it. Another problem was that he could spook the humans and they would use their completely ineffective weapons against him, which would annoy him to no end.
That only left one other option: Skull Island.
Diving back under the tainted water, Godzilla swam southwest to the island at a rapid pace. As he surged through the waters, he reminisced back to over 15 years ago….when he failed to prevent The Great Cataclysm.
ANTARCTICA-SEPTEMBER 13th, 2000 AD
Godzilla hurriedly trudged through the icy landscape as 300 MPH winds swept through the entire continent. He had sensed the massive surge of energy sweep throughout the entire world and he rushed to the source of it posthaste. He wasn't sure what it was but it felt very, very dangerous and if he didn't put a stop to it, it could affect the entire planet in the worst way possible.
As Godzilla began to approach the source he noticed several decimated human structures scattered around the epicenter of the disturbance, which was a fairly large crater in the ice. He couldn't sense any humans and assumed that they had all perished. There was nothing he could've done.
He suddenly sensed something coming his way. Steeling himself, Godzilla noticed that this wasn't some random, unknown burst of energy. It belonged to something that lived and breathed but what was it? He saw a bright glowing shape saunter out of the crater, revealing itself to the King of the Monsters.
(Final Fantasy-One Winged Angel)
It was completely white all over, with a gaunt, lanky, bizarrely humanoid appearance. It had two odd protrusions on its shoulders and it glared at Godzilla with hollow, empty eyes. But it's most noticeable feature was the red orb in the center of its chest. It stood at 100 meters, the same size as Godzilla.
An overwhelming sense of realization and dread washed over Godzilla's features.
It was a Dark One!
His worst fears were realized. He knew that someday they would return and he cursed himself for even thinking about that. But now they were back to most likely take revenge for their previous defeat…and Godzilla wasn't going to stand for it!
"SKKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"
The saurian thundered towards the Dark One with murderous intent in his eyes! Nearing the abomination, he raised his clawed hand in an attempt to claw its throat out-
KLLAAAANGGGGG
Only to be stopped by some strange orange wall! In that instant, the Dark One backhanded Godzilla so hard that it sent him skidding across the ice! Its eyes suddenly lit up and it fired a volley of energy blasts that peppered Godzilla all over his body, leaving him charred and bloodied.
"KHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
Adam's unnerving bellow reverberated throughout the icy wasteland. Godzilla struggled to get up only to be lifted into the air by some unseen force and then got slammed back down into the ground, hard. Trying his hardest get up again, Godzilla's attempt was foiled when he felt the Dark One's foot slam down on his hand. The Dark One gripped Godzilla by his throat and started to tightly strangle him, fully intent on choking the king to death!
Feeling his throat constrict, Godzilla quickly charged up his atomic breath and fired a stream of radioactive energy right into the Dark One's face. But it had absolutely no effect! The orange wall shimmered as his attack was rendered completely useless. Then the Dark One began repeatedly slamming its fist into Godzilla's abdomen with its free hand. Every hit shattered his ribs and he began to cough up blood.
Adam threw Godzilla over his shoulder and the saurian crashed into the ground. Sensing the abomination lumbering towards his downed form, Godzilla lashed out with his tail only for the Dark One to grab it and viscously slammed him into the ground over and over and then threw him across the ground again.
Godzilla was utterly disoriented at this point, his whole world was spinning in his eyes but he managed to make out the Dark One coming straight towards him! Thinking fast, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at the ground it front of it, causing it to trip over the makeshift hole. As Adam started to pick himself up, it found itself violently tackled to the ground.
In a burst of primal fury, Godzilla began smashing the shield with his fists and showed no signs of stopping. Very small cracks began to appear on the shield as Godzilla hit harder and harder. He raised his right fist to deliver another blow but was suddenly stopped mid-way and he couldn't move it! The Dark One was raising its hand towards Godzilla's fist and when he tried to hit it again, it raised its other hand and stopped his other fist. The King of the Monsters struggled to get free but his arms were locked in place and he was now at the glowing beast's mercy. Unfortunately, Adam showed no mercy whatsoever as he began ruthlessly pummeling the creature like a punching bag.
Every hit broke some of his bones and caused internal bleeding. The Dark One fired several energy blasts at him at point blank range and finished with a devastating uppercut that sent Godzilla sailing into an icy mountain.
The saurian lay motionless on the ground, a pool of blood formed around his body. His healing ability couldn't keep up with the level of punishment he was taking. Adam stayed still, waiting for any signs of movement from the interloper. Then the creature's body suddenly jerked and its dorsal spines started to glow blue!
VWWWWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Adam rushed towards the monster, intending on putting an end to its life. The creature then fired its beam at the mountain it had crashed into in a massive explosion. Adam tilted his head in confusion. Why did the creature waste its attack-
WHOOOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHH
The creature was suddenly flying straight towards Adam!
Godzilla had actually planned to do this. He had fired his atomic breath out in front of him but he waited until it was lined up perfectly straight with him and amplified the force of his breath so that he was sent rocketing straight towards the Dark One. But the catch was that he had his razor-sharp dorsal spines pointed straight at it!
Adam attempted to stop it with his telekinesis but the speed and velocity that the saurian was traveling at made it impossible to stop. Godzilla's dorsal spines smashed through the shield and impaled the Dark One upon his back! The spines speared into its abdomen and inflicted heavy damage on its core.
The two titans trembled along the ice in a heap with the Adam being dislodged from Godzilla's back. The both of them stood up; ready to face each other again but this time they looked ready to collapse. Adam's core was cracked and blinking wildly while blue blood seeped from the wounds it received from Godzilla's unexpected attack.
The King of the Monsters looked worse for wear. His regenerative abilities had slowed considerably due to how much damage he had received during the fight. His skin was burned, ruptured and bloodied. Speaking of which, blood dripped from his mouth and his breathing was heavily labored. Every joint hurt and most of his bones were broken, making every move he made extremely painful. He had to finish this now.
Godzilla threw himself at the Dark One before it had time to use its powers and he ripped its throat out with his bare claws. Unfazed, the Dark One jerked its neck upwards so that its own blood splashed right into Godzilla's eyes! Blinded, Godzilla tried to wipe the blood out his eyes but the Dark One tackled him to the ground and started bashing his fist straight into his face.
After serval punches, the Adam raised its right fist to deliver a powerful, possibly fatal, final blow. As his fist shot straight towards him, Godzilla snapped his head forward and bit down on Adam's fist! Godzilla tore off its fingers with the ferocity of an alligator and kicked it off of him.
The Dark One tried to use his telekinesis against Godzilla with its other hand but he fired his atomic breath at the Dark One's shoulder, blowing its left arm clean off! Infuriated, Adam began firing multiple energy blasts from his eyes but they were faster and much more powerful than before and they pelted Godzilla all over his body. The saurian fell to the ground as Adam continued to relentlessly blast him over and over again.
The repeated blasts started to create a smokescreen which obscured Godzilla as the Dark One continued assaulting him. Suddenly, a bloody Godzilla erupted from the smoke; his eyes white with enraged fury! He grabbed the sides of the Dark One's head and plunged both of his thumbnails straight into its eye sockets!
"KHROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Wasting no time, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at the Dark One's core at point blank range! The beam blasted the core into pieces, bored straight through its body and propelled the Dark One several feet away from Godzilla, right back into the crater. The King of the Monsters fell to his knees and then collapsed into the snow. He had been victorious and prevented what could've been the apocalypse. It definitely had to be one of the toughest ordeals he had ever been through. As his healing factor kicked in, he noticed two silhouettes approaching his position in the distance. It was his comrades! It was about time they showed up! Godzilla picked himself and trudged over to meet his friends-
BVVVVVVVVVVVVWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Godzilla quickly looked behind him to see the body of the Dark One levitating out of the crater, four glowing orange wings slowly emerging from its back! That's when he spotted a second core growing from the center of its head! Godzilla could sense the energy from this creature reaching a fever pitch and if he didn't destroy it now then the whole planet would be annihilated!
Using the last of his energy he had left, Godzilla charged up his atomic breath until his spines began to glow orange. He stomped both of his feet into the ice so that he could anchor himself. Targeting the Dark One's 2nd core, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at it but it was now larger, stronger and orange colored!
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
SOUTH PACIFC-PRESENT DAY 2015
Godzilla shook his head as he focused on the present. He couldn't exactly remember what had happened after that. He knew his attack had connected with the Dark One's core but then after that, his entire world went white. Next thing he knew, after what felt like an eternity, he woke up in this…hell. He should've gone back into that crater and burn the Dark One's body just to make sure that it was completely dead this time. Maybe that could've prevented The Great Cataclysm.
He had failed to protect this world and nature itself had all but been obliterated.
But he couldn't give up now. He needed allies to aid him in the fight against the Dark Ones and Skull Island was now his only hope. Poking his head out of the water, he found what he was looking for. A massive dark storm system stood before him with flashes of lightning periodically appearing inside it. It would deter anyone trying to land on the island since trying to get through the storm would be nothing short of suicidal.
He dived under the water and swam under the storm. After a few minutes, the red stained water had turned into a vibrant blue as he resurfaced. And there, standing proudly before Godzilla, was Skull Island. It was just as dense and green as he last saw it. Jungles stretched across the island as far as the eye could see.
Walking across the beach and deep into the island, he saw that life continued to flourish despite The Great Cataclysm. Numerous species of dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals and hyper evolved animals dotted the jungles, plains, swamps and rainforests while going about their business like there wasn't a care in the world. Godzilla inhaled the fresh air as the afternoon sun shone upon the glorious land that time forgot. It was great to be back in familiar territory, one where he could feel a sense of peace and solitude.
He heard an audible growl emanate from his stomach. The King of the Monsters had gone on without nourishment for several days and he was hungry.
2 HOURS LATER
Traveling to the western side of the island, Godzilla felt satisfied after his meal. He had devoured an entire herd of brontosaurus and then ate two Mire Squids but he fried them first to evaporate the ink in their bodies as well as give them a more distinct "flavor".
As he journeyed westward, he saw numerous empty villages that had been covered in overgrowth. He didn't sense the island's natives, the Iwi, for a while and grimly presumed that they might've perished in The Great Cataclysm.
After several more minutes of walking, Godzilla came to his destination: a gigantic mountain that towered above him with an equally massive cave entrance. It was here that his true objective stood before him. While Skull Island was a place that was perfect for any Kaiju, himself included, he knew that this wasn't really his true home.
For deep within the mountain lay a gateway to his real home: The Lost Land.
A parallel earth where time never advanced beyond the era of the dinosaurs. A land where God did not finish creation. A planet filled with Kaiju of all shapes and sizes. A literal kingdom of monsters.
Godzilla and his comrades had used this ancient gateway to cross over to this world since the beginning of time and they had considered this one to be a part of their own world and would valiantly protect it as much as they did with theirs. Godzilla's only hope to successfully combat the Dark Ones was to enter the gateway and gather reinforcements from The Lost Land.
He walked into the cave, having no trouble accommodating his size since it was as big as him, maybe even more. As he wandered into the cave, he saw numerous ancient murals adorning the walls. They all depicted the war between the Kaiju and the Dark Ones.
Godzilla thought back to the day when those things arrived to this world. Their massive dark obelisks floating above the landscape as they dotted the sky while armies of Dark Ones descended upon nature itself. It was the biggest mistake of their lives.
Before they knew it, the King of the Monsters and his brothers and sisters in arms descended upon the abominations like a tsunami. They battled the Dark Ones for years and they always emerged victorious after every fight since they outmatched and outsized them. They had also brought down many of the floating obelisks that the Dark Ones used to travel throughout the planet.
Eventually, he and the Kaiju triumphed over them and they fled the planet along with their floating fortresses. After they won, they destroyed the bodies of the Dark Ones as well as their obelisks that were left behind. Godzilla and the others were fully focused on eliminating any evidence that remained of the invaders failed attempt at conquering the earth.
Soon there was no trace left of the Dark Ones and the world continue to thrive thanks to the Kaiju. But Godzilla remained unconvinced that they had seen the last of them and many centuries later, he got his answer…in the worst way possible.
He continued deeper into the cave until he came upon an ancient city that once belonged to the Iwi. Walking though the expansive city streets of the derelict metropolis, he was reminded how much the natives looked up to him and his friends. Whenever they ventured to or from The Lost Land the Iwi would always stop what they were doing and gazed at the Kaiju with amazement and respect.
Godzilla began to near a corner which led to the gateway to his home. He felt a twinge of nervousness. How would his brethren react to worldwide environmental devastation? To see the world they considered to be their 2nd home and defended reduced to a broken shell of its former beauty? He would worry about that later as he rounded the corner-
He froze.
His eyes widened.
His heart plunged into the abyss.
The gateway was in ruins. The massive stones that were covered in ancient writing and had formed a circular archway was now a pile of rubble. The King of the Monsters fell to his knees, causing a loud thud to reverberate throughout the cavern. Godzilla's only way back home was gone.
His friends were now lost to him forever and he was completely alone in a tattered, hopeless world. Rage boiled up inside of him and his spines instantly turned red. Pure, unrestrained fury clouding his mind Godzilla prepared to vent his frustration out on the city…only to find that he couldn't. He had too many memories of the Iwi and their city. He couldn't just destroy it in a meaningless fit.
His spikes stopped glowing and his rage dissipated into sadness. The saurian slowly trudged his way back to the cavern entrance.
(Randy Newman- I Will Go Sailing No More)
He exited the cave and gazed upon the landscape of the island. So far this was the only place that hadn't been ruined by The Great Cataclysm. Many of its inhabitants had been thankfully spared, the rest of the world wasn't so lucky. Godzilla began to wonder if the Dark One he fought had gotten the last laugh…and it did. The world was ruined, his comrades were most likely dead and there was no way back home. He would never see the others again. He couldn't sense the Shobijin anywhere as well. He had to assume the worst.
Greif and sorrow gripped the saurian's heart. Everything he fought for and been ripped out of his hands and if he had destroyed every last trace of the Dark One then none of this would've happened. It was all his fault. He cursed himself for his blunder and now he was paying for it. He knew that this was a battle he couldn't win by himself and the humans didn't have the power to fight the Dark Ones. He thought back to the odd, purple creature that he saw days ago and wondered if the humans were somehow connected to it. It didn't matter. It was too small to combat the Dark Ones once they transformed.
All hope was lost…NO!
Determination welled up inside Godzilla as he snapped himself out of his funk. He was not going to sit down and take this. He was not going to let the Dark Ones have their way with his home. He would not let them win. He may have lost his home but this world was his home too. He protected it once and he would do so again. This wasn't the time to be sitting around moping; this was the time to fight.
He was the strongest Kaiju that ever lived and he had survived The Great Cataclysm. If he could take down the transformed Dark One then he could take on the rest of them. He would fight these wretched creatures tooth and nail, as well as atomic fire. They would feel his wrath if they ever came again. If they wanted this planet, they would have to pry it from his cold dead-
His train of thought stopped. He soon remembered that while he was powerful and his wounds could regenerate, he was not invincible. If he died, the world and his legacy would die as well. Despair filled his heart again.
Godzilla realized that he would be fighting a losing battle. There was no way he could take on stronger Dark One variants all by himself. Once again, he was reminded that if he had destroyed the Dark One 15 years ago, his friends would be alive, the world wouldn't be horribly disfigured and he would still have a portal back home. He swore to himself that he would protect both worlds and he had failed.
He didn't deserve to be king.
TOKYO-3 -YAMAGISHI RESIDENCE
Mayumi was silently napping on her bed. He face was that of peace and contentedness as she hugged her pillow. Near her windowsill, the Shobijin looked outside with forlorn expressions.
"You feel his pain too, don't you?"
"Yes. We will eventually reunite with him again but in the meantime, he must learn that hope has not been extinguished."
To be continued…
Hows that for some backstory, huh?
There is no doubt that you all have some questions so I will address the most important ones.
Yes, Godzilla fought Adam but he was unable to prevent The 2nd Impact. If he hadn't fired his supreme atomic breath at its 2nd core, then everyone would die and the whole world would look like the apocalyptic landscape seen in Rebuild 3.0.
I wanted to showcase that while Godzilla is powerful, he is not invulnerable and he can still be severely injured.
Adam didn't need to transform because he's freaking Adam people! Why would he?
The force of the impact flung Godzilla halfway across the world until he splashed into the Pacific Ocean and sunk into the Challenger Deep.
I know what you are all thinking. "Wasn't Misato at Antarctica? Wouldn't she have seen or heard the battle between Godzilla and Adam?" Allow me to shed some light on that! Misato was indeed at the research station she and her father were at but when Adam awakened, Misato was seriously injured and fell unconscious. She would regain consciousness again but only just in time to see her father one last time before he gave her his cross and closed the hatch on the escape capsule. She blacked out the minuet it closed which means that she didn't hear the fight. After the 2nd Impact, she woke up again and opened the hatch to see the wings of Adam at their full height. Hope that clears things up.
Here is the list of Godzillas abilities: Atomic Breath, Supercharged Atomic Breath, Nuclear Pulse and Supreme Atomic Breath.
I decided to use Skull Island instead of Monster Island because it would make more sense for an island to have prehistoric or super evolved creatures inhabit it, along with the Kaiju.
Skull Island will be a combination of the recent version and the 2005 Peter Jackson version. It will have all the wildlife present in both films (except for the Skull Crawlers. Ramarak will be the only one). I went for the Iwi natives to be the inhabitants of the island because they were very peaceful and a nice change of pace after we got those savage natives from the 2005 movie.
Now for the most controversial part of my story, Godzilla hailing from a parallel earth. The Lost Land is directly inspired by the Turok series but instead of all of the science fiction elements that the games had, it's just a world filled with Kaiju, dinosaurs and other creatures. I know it sounds strange to you all but I just wanted to add some extra elements into the mix as well as up the WOW factor for this fic.
The Kaiju have a different terminology for the Angels. Pretty self-explanatory.
If this chapter wasn't proof enough, the Angels will have a massive overhaul in terms history and background. I won't spoil too much but their origins are going to be very different from canon.
The floating obelisks Godzilla referenced are based on the Black Moon object seen at the end of Rebuild 3.0.
As I have already explained, there will be other Kaiju featured in this but for now I want Godzilla to think he is the only one.
This will be the last time I use a Randy Newman song. I promise.
Don't forget to review but please don't flame. Happy Easter everybody!
