Chapter 4 – The Martial Arts Master, King Caesar
In the morning, Godzilla and Mothra are walking through town and looking through shops that sell a variety of things. However, due to the rule of King Ghidorah, many things have to be limited to protect the sanctuary. Some strong willed people continue to sell the ban items, but King Ghidorah made it difficult by allowing the Kaiju to destroy the shops.
Mothra = "Godzilla, what kind of fish do you want for lunch?"
Godzilla = "I am fine with anything."
Mothra = "Alright."
While Mothra is buying the ingredients, one of the Lion Guardians is seen behind them.
Voice = "Excuse me, may I have a word with you?"
Godzilla turned to see the Lion Guardian.
Lion Guardian = "My name is King Caesar and I am an elder to the Lion Guardians."
Godzilla = "I am Godzilla…"
King Caesar = "It's a pleasure to meet you; I can't help but sense your aura back then. You have an aura of both a warrior and a king."
Godzilla = "That so…"
King Caesar = "I want to test you, please come to that valley over there if you are interested. I hope to see you there."
King Caesar left as Godzilla stares at him.
Mothra = "There must be something about you that caught his attention. Are you going?"
Godzilla = "I am, I will not show myself to be a coward. I will be fine."
Mothra = "I understand, just be careful."
Godzilla stares at the mountain as his thoughts wonder.
After a few hours, Godzilla and Mothra are walking through the valley pass to a certain location that King Caesar left to Godzilla. Godzilla reached his destination to find King Caesar standing in the middle of a dirt area with other Lion Guardians watching in the distance.
King Caesar = "Welcome Godzilla, this area is where we train and hone our skills."
Godzilla looks around.
King Caesar = "Not to worry, I gain special permission from the elders. This is place where I want to measure you strength. There will be no wins or loses…"
Godzilla = "That so, alright then. Mothra, I need you to stay here. If anything happens, I'll let you know."
Mothra = "Alright."
Godzilla went into the dirt arena and King Caesar gets ready. Godzilla charged at him, but King Caesar dodged him gracefully. The fight continued as Godzilla is getting tired out. He used a small amount of his fire that King Caesar deflected with ease.
Godzilla = "This guy is really good, I can hardly touch him. My charges are not going to work on this Kaiju…"
King Caesar = "He's observing me and planning an attack. I am eager to see what he came up with."
Godzilla charges at King Caesar, but ran to his side and tackled him.
King Caesar = "I see, if he can't land a hit in the front, he'll change his directions."
King Caesar got away and did some Kung Fu attacks while Godzilla took the hits.
King Caesar = "Both his scales and muscles are hard and strong, he is born with a strong body. I can feel it that it's affecting my bones. However…"
King Caesar stopped for a while to see Godzilla breathing heavily.
King Caesar = "He easily lose strength, but he did not show signs for slowing down. His first attacks didn't land a hit, so he is thinking of different approaches to get a hit. I was right to cross paths with him."
A few minutes later into the fight, Godzilla and King Caesar punched each other which caused them to fall to the ground.
King Caesar = "I guess it's a tie."
Godzilla = "Yeah…"
As they recovered, Mothra healed them both. Then, they had dinner which King Caesar offered. The meal has seaweed and fish to which Godzilla loves.
King Caesar = "Godzilla, may I have a word?"
Godzilla = "Is something wrong?"
King Caesar = "Would it be alright if I train you?"
Godzilla = "You want to train me?"
King Caesar = "I heard rumors of a dark Kaiju was able to defeat the Kaiju Guards while being chased by Kaiju Hunters. When I saw you, I thought it might be you. During our fight, I noticed that you are strong and a quick learner. If you come across a very strong Kaiju, I fear you might struggle. In my arts, there are many ways to take down an enemy. What say you?"
Godzilla is in deep thought, but he knows that King Caesar is right. The next Kaiju he would come across will be something he would struggle and he would not be able to protect Mothra. It was after witnessing King Caesar's martial arts; he was convinced that he need more experience to keep himself alive.
Godzilla = "Alright."
King Caesar = "You will not regret it."
Godzilla begins his training with meditation which helped control is anger and his flames.
Back at the present, Godzilla continues to be busy with the paperwork as Mothra handed him dinner, a special fish dish. They also recived a message that King Caesar had returned from Okinawa and he is on his way to Godzilla's castle.
Godzilla = "That training is pretty rough, but it was worth it."
Mothra = "I bet it was, it was thanks to that training that you went able to figure out some weakness and survive the battle against King Ghidorah."
Godzilla = "Yeah, fate works in mysterious ways."
Then, King Caesar came into the room.
King Caesar = "Sorry I am late, did I missing anything?"
Mothra = "Not at all, we were just remembering our first encounter with you at Okinawa."
King Caesar = "Really? I know it's been a while, but it is not a hundred years already."
Godzilla = "Anyways, you sent a message that you have something to discuss about. Is the Ryukoku Kingdom doing ok?"
King Caesar = "Of course, the change went smoothly along with the trade that happen today. However, what I really what to discuss is about a certain enemy."
Godzilla = "You mean…"
King Caesar = "I am sorry to say this, but I think it's possible that Dogora has escape during the final battle with King Ghidorah."
Godzilla = "Dogora… who was that Kaiju again? … Oh yeah, the jellyfish!"
Mothra = "Sort of, the shape is quite different."
King Caesar = "As we all remembered it, Dogora was an enemy of mine when a clan attack Okinawa before. Then, he served King Ghidorah during his rule as his advisor. He is also a powerful spiritual master with skills in curse."
Mothra = "He is similar to an Onmyoji, if he's still out there, then we need to be careful."
King Caesar = "Indeed, as for the moment, I doubt he will strike right away. We should enjoy the moment of peace for now, but if he does, we need to act."
Godzilla = "I know…"
Godzilla and King Caesar continue to discuss other topics.
In a dark cave in an unknown location, Dogora is in the cave network since King Ghidorah's defeat. During the time of the Golden Shogunate, Dogora have served King Ghidorah as his advisor to help him eliminate rebels that still fight. Dogora is also the one responsible for the destruction of the Kaiju Hunters. As he gathers some strange green crystals on a strange alter, he stares at the painting of King Ghidorah and Godzilla clashing.
Dogora = "Godzilla… you may have won the land and the people, but beware, we are not through yet. As long as I am here, the reign of terror will begin again and this time, you will be the one in the afterlife!"
Dogora laughed as he turn to his is tiny pile of crystals.
Dogora = "IF ONLY THERE ARE MORE CRYSTALS TO SPARE!"
Japanology:
Kung Fu is a martial art that was developed in China and mostly Shaolin Monks trained in various and brutal training methods. The Taoists style is only for meditations, but it is martial arts as well.
(Shirogane, the jellyfish, is based on a certain Kaiju movie that has a difficult name that I can't remember. However, he did show up in a TV show that uses Kaijus toys to show the monsters. If you know this certain Kaiju, please notify me in the reviews.)
Update:
I was informed by someone that the Jellyfish Kaiju was Dogora. I really thought that he had a seriously difficult Japanese name. Thank you for answering my question and perhaps I will use that name now so I will not forget.
