Hello my friends, here with a new chapter of The Balancers of Mortals. I'm glad that you all enjoyed the first chapter.
I'm going to try something uh sort of new for me. All Author's notes will be at the very end of the chapter. They will mainly be about answering questions or pointing out things about the story.
Alright, with that out the way let's get this story started.
Disclaimers: I do not own anything of Godzilla or RWBY so please support the official release.
From the coast of an island, the king of monsters emerged from the rough waters. Only to see the land that was once its home engulfed in flames. Corpses of the monsters he shared the island with laying dead on the ground. The dark clouds bringing an ominous sight to the island. As the King took steps into the island, he was stopped by a shadow that stood before him, one that he was all too familiar with. The large shadow that stood in the middle of the scorching island expanded its wings, blowing the smoke of the flames away, revealing the monster to be the invader, King Ghidorah.
Godzilla growled with immense anger, before letting out a roar and then charging at the invader. Ghidorah let out a roar as well causing lighting to strike the ground around it, charging at the other alpha. Godzilla's dorsal fins radiated a bright blue while the Ghidorah body surged with lighting, the distance between the two alphas closed in and right as they were about to clash!
Godzilla shot up from his sleep, roaring ferociously and clawing the air. When he felt that he had not hit anything he growled angrily, his blazing eyes searching his surroundings for the other alpha.
It took a moment for him to realize that it was a dream, and the other alpha was nowhere near him. His breathing became more relaxed and stable before returning back to normal. He raised a hand but was slightly surprised to see that it was different. When he looked down at himself, he quickly remembered what happened yesterday. Waking in a strange forest with a body that was not his and battling those beasts.
Having a proper look at his surroundings, he noticed that he was in some human home, which reminded him of the two humans that helped him. He took notice that there were more of the dry grass that he slept on all around the home. As the King was looking around, the doors to the barn slid open. Turning to the source of the noise he saw the young male present himself. "Oh, you're awake. That's good, I wasn't sure how to wake you if you weren't." Oscar said. "Uh, breakfast is ready, Aunt Olivia asked me to ask you if you wanted some." The King of monsters simply stared. "Um…so if you want to eat just…follow me." He awkwardly motioned with his hand, which still brought out no response to the large faunas. Oscar then excused himself and headed back to the house, but quickly saw that the large faunas had followed him out. "I guess after we gave him food and a place to sleep, he must trust us, huh."
As they entered the house, Oscar led the faunas to the kitchen where Olivia was finishing up making breakfast. "Hey, Good Morning. Are ready for breakfast?" Her answer was silence, but she took a hint when she saw him follow Oscar and take his seat. Olivia placed a plate of chicken omelette in front of him. Like yesterday, the king of monsters was a bit cautious at what laid in front of him, but he saw the two humans eat, he dug in.
It took some time to take a bite since the food on his plate kept breaking into pieces whenever he tried grabbing with his hand, unlike before. But when he did finally manage to eat a piece, he was immediately surprised by the taste. He quickly dug in his plate which made Olivia and Oscar chuckle.
After breakfast, Oscar collected the plates and Olivia washed them. Godzilla walked away from the kitchen to the living room. His eyes roaming the house before stopping on several small humans hanging on the wall. He eyed each one of them, not sure how a human could fit in something so small. "We took those pictures during a party in the local bar. Yea, I remember having to help serve everyone and keeping some of the guests from passing out." Oscar chuckled. The king's eyes traveled to each of the pictures stopping on one particular photo. It was one that held two adult humans, a male, and two females, one them he recognized as the older human female that gave him food. One of the females seemed to be holding a very much smaller and younger version of the young human next to him.
Oscar took notice to what the large faunas was staring at, a smile formed on his lips. "That's a picture of my parents. That was taken on the day they took over the farm after my grandparents passed. From what Aunt Olivia told me, they were pretty good at farming which was surprising considering that they came from a Kingdom, Mistral I think." Oscar smiled at the photo of his parents. "People tell me that they were really nice and helpful…" The king's head turned towards Oscar, sensing the sadness coming off him. Oscar felt the faunas eyes on him and let out a chuckle, "Sorry, I guess you can't understand what I'm saying." He said with an awkward smile.
A loud crash followed by a scream was heard from outside. Oscar immediately ran out to see his aunt of the floor and a pile of porch's roof in front of her. "Are you okay?!" He asks, helping to her feet.
"Yea. I was startled by the roof suddenly falling in front of me." Olivia reassured her nephew.
The king of monsters walked out the door and stared at the broken roof. "The house was damaged after the Grimm attacked. We weren't sure how bad the damages were, but from the looks of it, I think it might be pretty bad." Olivia explained to the large faunas.
Both Olivia and Oscar walked out to get a better view of the house, while the king walked further ahead. They saw small chunks of the house were gone, several broken walls, scratch marks, and broken windows. Oscar sighed deeply, knowing full well that there was a lot of work to be done. "Don't worry." His aunt started, "We'll fix it and make it better like we always do." Her smile bringing his spirits up.
Oscar turned around, "Hey, you wouldn't mind helping out would you…" His words trailed off as he saw the large simply standing in the middle of the field. "What's he doing?"
"I don't know." Olivia voicing her confusion. "Maybe he's just enjoying the view." She says. Seeing Oscar still staring at the faunas, she placed a hand on his shoulder prompting him to look at her. "Come on. We've got a lot of work to do." She said before walking to the house.
"Right." Oscar gave one last look at the faunas before following suit.
Olivia's guess wasn't wrong, but she wasn't right either. What Godzilla was doing was absorbing radiation from the sun. While this process was very slow compared to what he normally does, he figured it would get the job done. After his battle with the pack of beasts and their alpha, he felt quite drained. Especially after using his atomic energy in a strange way.
Seconds turned into minutes; minutes turned into hours. The King of monsters remained where he stood, continuedly absorbing the sun's radiation. But no matter how much he absorbed; it wasn't replenishing him at all. It was beginning to annoy him a bit.
His eyes opened when he heard approaching footsteps coming from behind him. Turning around, he stared at the two humans. "Hey, sorry if we bothered your viewing…but we're headed to Tenby, we need some extra supplies to fix some of the damages to the house." Oscar said.
"Would you like to accompany us?" Olivia asked. His answer was silence.
"…Did you forget he can't-,"
"Talk, yea, I forgot." Olivia sighed, not sure how to tell him that they're going somewhere. She wouldn't want him wandering off looking for them, with the Grimm out there. Then again, after what she witnessed yesterday, she's pretty sure that he'll be okay. But what if he runs into someone else, would he react violently? Man, that is something she doesn't want to happen. "Hey Oscar, how did you get him to come to breakfast?"
"I just waved him to follow." Just as he explained, he waved the faunas to follow to which he began to approach them.
"Oh." Olivia nervous chuckled. "I really hope people don't think we're treating him like a dog on purpose." Oscar also felt uneasy about that as well.
It was a 30-minute walk to Tenby. Some might think that's way to long, but having done this many times before, Olivia and Oscar were used to it. Godzilla paid no mind to the long walk; it felt no different to when he traveled on land or swam in the oceans.
After a good while, they made it to the village. The king of monsters was quite surprised to see more humans. He watched from behind as the people of Tenby greeted Oscar and Olivia. Godzilla took notice that within the humans that greeted them, there were others that held other strange features that of an animal. He did not know there two types of humans. Some of the humans and other species gave him looks of confusion, as they were unsure of what he was.
Olivia and Oscar entered the village's supply shop. "Welcome, how may I help—Oliva, Oscar, what brings you here?" A man in his late 50s greeted.
"Hi Thomas. We just need to pick up a couple of tools for the house." Olivia explained.
Oscar went around the shop and began choosing the tools they needed. Thomas from his desks noticed the tools he was picking out; they were all repair items. "Did something?"
Olivia's shoulders dropped as her gaze slightly fell, "We were attacked by a pack of Beowolves, again. They did a number to the house this time, so now we're trying to fix it."
"No! Are you two okay?!" He asked with such worry.
"Yea, we hid like always and waited for them to go away, but I guess they got smarter." Oscar said with an uneasy look.
Thomas confused face told them that he didn't understand what they meant. "They waited for us, they waited till we were out of the house before attacking." Olivia explained.
"Damn bastards!" Thomas slammed his fist onto the counter. "Forgive." He quickly apologized to the two. "So, what happened then? How did you two escape?"
"Actually, we didn't. We were saved by him." Oscar said, pointing to the large faunas standing by a shelve. Thomas was surprised by the size of the faunas, he had to be at least 6 feet tall maybe more. He had not even noticed him enter the shop, a quiet man. "My, my, he is a big fellow."
"Yea, we've noticed." Olivia said with some humor.
"Is he a huntsman?" Oscar surged his shoulders, "Well, does he have a name?"
"We...don't know either." Thomas was now confused. "He was naked the entire time he fought the Grimm." She embarrassedly answered, not trying to think about it.
"Naked? Then how on remnant did he stop those Beowolves?" Thomas questioned, wanting to know more about the large faunas in his shop.
"With his hands, literally." Oscar answered, which to the shopkeeper by surprise. "My word, I've never heard of someone going toe to toe with a pack of Beowolves with just their hands."
"Yea, trust me when we say we were really surprised by his strength and speed, he even killed an alpha." Olivia said.
Thomas's eyes widen with shock. "An alpha! Incredible." His eyes moved to the faunas who was merely looking at the items around the shop, ignoring the conversation occurring behind him. "Could it be because of the type of faunas he is?"
"We thought the same, but…" Oscar's gaze moved to their faunas savior. "We aren't exactly sure what kind he is."
From the counter, Thomas gave the faunus a look. "Indeed, I never have seen one like him before. Hey, I know. Why don't you take him to Doctor Brown, he could help." Thomas suggested.
"Doctor Brown, he's back?" Olivia questioned.
"Oh yes, he returned just yesterday." Thomas said.
Olivia looked towards her nephew who gave a shrug, "Alright, well go give it a try." Oscar walked up to the counter and placed the tools they needed. Olivia reached into her pocket for her wallet but was stopped by Thomas's raised hand. "No need for that."
Olivia raised a brow with some uncertainty. "Are you sure?" Her answer was a nod. "Okay, thank you, Thomas." Oscar grabbed the tools and placed them in a bag. As they were heading out with Godzilla following, Thomas spoke out. "Oliva, Oscar," The two turned to him. "I know I told you this many times before but, consider moving into Tenby. It's not safe living out there all alone."
Olivia offered him a smile. "Don't worry Thomas, we'll be okay. After all, we can't just abandon the home we've lived in for nearly 15 years."
Thomas let out a deep sigh. "Just be safe you two."
"We will." This Oscar speaking out.
As the trio headed out, they made their way to the Tenby's doctor. Walking through the door, caused a bell to ring. "Be right with you." A man called out from the other room. Taking a seat they waited for the doctor to come out. The king of monsters gave the air sniff, picking up a strange smell in the air. "It's the clinic smell," Oscar told him.
After some time, a man walked into the waiting room. "Olivia! It's so great to see you!" The doctor says, hugging her.
"It's good to see you too, Doctor Brown." Olivia greeted back.
He then turned to the boy, "Oscar, look at you. You've gotten taller since the last time I've seen you."
Oscar chuckled, "Yea. How was your trip to Menagerie?"
"It was great! Teaching the other doctors over in Menagerie was very exciting, as was helping their patients. I even got more of my research done over there." He said with a bright smile. "So, what can I do for you two today?"
"We need your help in identifying what type of Faunus he is." Olivia said, pointing to the large faunas who was staring at a fish tank.
Doctor Brown's eyes widened, "Wow! Who is he?!" Clearly amazed by the size of the individual.
"Uh, we don't know." Oscar answered.
Doctor Brown approached the large Faunus, which the king took notice. Turning his body to face the doctor, the King stared down at the human. "A hybrid Faunus wow, I've heard stories about them never seen one in my life though." Doctor Brown commented, giving the faunus a look over.
"Hybrid Faunus?" Olivia questioned.
"Yes, a hybrid Faunus is a species of Faunus that is the combination of two types Faunus. You can identify a Faunus being a hybrid by the multiple Faunus features they have, as well as their superior strength, speed, agility, and endurance compared to other regular Faunus. But they're so rare that you have more chances to find gold than running into a hybrid Faunas."
The doctor stared at the Faunus, he's a hybrid so that narrows the Faunus chart down a bit. Plus this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to study a hybrid Faunus. The doctor hummed before snapping his fingers. "Alright, I'll help. Just follow me." As he was walking away with the pair, he stopped when he noticed the Faunus remained where he stood. "He can't understand you." Olivia said
"Oh, then how do you…" His question was answered when Olivia motioned him to follow with her hand, a moment later he did. "Does not understand words but understands actions. Hm, interesting." He resumed his walk, leading them down the hall. "Where did you find him?"
Oscar scratched the back of his head, "It's kinda a long story." Olivia watched from behind as Oscar began telling him about everything that happened yesterday. Every emotion the doctor expressed was clearly seen on his face. Olivia smiled. He was a nice man. He used to be one of Atlas's best doctors but left the kingdom when he found out the treatment the Faunus were still receiving and others from lower classes. He vowed to help anyone that needed help outside and inside the kingdoms. He was also a researcher of Faunus. Studying each type, their anatomy, morphology, physiology you name it. He was completely devoted to learning everything there is about the Faunus. So, she can imagine his excitement when he saw their Faunus friend.
They entered a room with various types of medical and scientific equipment. In the middle was a large metal table with other tools. As the doctor lead Godzilla to stand on a certain tile, two twin mice faunas entered the room. "Doctor Brown, we're here." The two said.
"Ah, great. It's great you both are here. I'm going to need some help with this patient. But before that, I would like to introduce you to Olivia and Oscar." The two faunas approached them. "Hi, I'm Emma." The right greeted, "And I'm Ethan." Their mice tails waving happily behind them.
"Hello, it's very nice to meet you." Olivia said, shaking the girl's hand while Oscar shook the boy's.
"Emma and Ethan were really interested in my research about the faunas and asked if they could assist me, so I brought them here." He explained before turning to his assistants. "Now, I need one of you to write down every observation I make and the other to find anything that matches the faunas records."
"Okay." They both replied together.
The king of monsters watched the human male with some caution. When he looked over to the female human and young male, he received a smile from them. What is this human going to do?
"Alright, let's get started." Doctor Brown approached the faunas and looked at him top to bottom. Pulling out a measuring tape. "Subject here is a male hybrid Faunus, with a height of 7feet and 5 inches. Weighing over," Pressing a remote, numbers appeared on the tile the faunas was standing on, as well as a scanner appearing from the ceiling aimed at him. "300lbs."
"300lbs. No wonder it took us an hour to pull him into the house." Oscar whispered to his aunt. To which she nodded. That was something they did not want to go through again.
The examination Doctor Brown conducted lasted for about an hour. With every feature he observed and had written down, the more fascinated he was by the Faunus in front of him. His sheer size was already something abnormal from most faunas. Then again he is a hybrid. Another noticeable physical feature that made this hybrid Faunus stand out from the stories he's heard was the strange dorsal fins running down his back all the way to his tail.
His teeth were also something he found very strange. From a normal distance, they would like normal teeth but upon closer inspection he found them to be very sharp, definitely made to rip and tear through meat, maybe even crushing bone. He shivered at the thought.
"Doctor Brown," Ethan called, "I searched through the entire faunas records and hybrid that have recorded throughout history, but nothing that came remotely close to him."
"Hm, maybe someone in Menagerie might have a clue." Doctor Brown said to himself, "By the way, good work Ethan." The mouse Faunus formed a smile, pleased to have completed his first assignment. "Emma, did you write down everything that was said?"
"Yes, Doctor."
"Good, now I just need a sample of his blood." Washing his hands, he placed a pair of gloves and grabbed a syringe. Olivia was unsure how their Faunus friend would react to Doctor Brown trying to extract his blood. "Um, Doctor Brown. Are you sure it's necessary to take some of his blood?"
"Of course. It will help better determine what type of hybrid he is." The Doctor explained. When the large Faunus turned his head towards Olivia and Oscar, they offered him another smile. His eyes moved back to the male human in front of him. He wasn't sure what he was doing, there were several times when he wanted to hit the human, mainly when he got too close to his eyes and mouth.
The king of monsters eyed the male when he went to grab his arm, but found himself unable to move the arm due to Godzilla not letting him. "It's okay. I just need a little bit of your blood it's not going to hurt; I promise." Doctor Brown again attempted to lift the hybrid's arm but failed again.
Doctor Brown turned to Olivia and Oscar with an awkward smile. "Do you think you could help me?"
Olivia and Oscar looked between one another, "Uh, we're not sure how to do that." Oscar spoke first. "I mean, it took him some time to have him even eat dinner yesterday."
Olivia gave some thought, then remembered something. "Wait, he ate the food yesterday because he saw us eating it. Maybe if he saw one of us having our blood taken, he'll do the same." With her idea said, she pulled her sleeve back for the Doctor to extract.
Godzilla watched as Doctor Brown extracted the blood from Olivia. She gave him a smile as if telling him it was okay. When the doctor tried to take blood from the faunas again, he let him. Guiding his arm up, Doctor Brown searched for his blood vessel, upon finding it he wiped the spot with a cloth of alcohol then proceeded to pierce the skin, only for the syringe to break.
A surprised look fell upon the faces of everyone in the room. "Oh, does he have his Aura activate?" Doctor Brown asked Emma.
The mouse Faunus checked on a computer next to her, "Mm…no, he does not. Actually, there's no sign of any Aura coming from him."
"No Aura?" Emma nodded her head. Doctor Brown's attention turned back to the Faunus standing in front of him. "Hm, let me try a stronger one," From his table, he grabbed another syringe and tried to pierce the skin, but like the first attempt, the syringe snapped. "Huh, well this posses a problem for us."
Godzilla faced the human male. Was the human trying to take blood from him? Why does he need it? He did not sense any ill will coming from any of them, meaning they did not want to harm him. His eyes moved to the female, he saw how she also had her blood taken out and she seemed fine. Again, his eyes moved, this time to the broken syringe.
Whatever they were using, was not going to work. Remembering how even the claws of those beasts could not harm him, except for the alpha.
Godzilla moved his hand to his arm, which caught the attention of everyone in the room. Bringing his claw down to the place where the doctor was attempting to pierce, he dug the tip of his claw into his arm, drawing blood from it. The action surprised both the scientists and farmers. The king of monsters raised his bleeding arm to the doctor. "Oh, well, that isn't the way I was planning to extract your blood nor is it the correct way, but it'll do." He grabbed another syringe and quickly took his sample. "Ethan could you please attend to his arm."
"Yes, Doctor Brown." As Doctor Brown was placing the blood sample way, Ethan called him back. "Um, Doctor Brown, you should take a look at this." Walking up to see what his assistant was calling him about, another surprised look appeared on his face. The place where the Faunus bleed was healing right before his eyes. "Amazing, his wound is already healing."
Olivia and Oscar glanced at one another. "I guess we're weren't crazy for thinking that he has that his wounds disappeared yesterday." Oscar joked to his aunt."
Doctor Brown stared up at the Faunus with a bright smile. "You truly are a remarkable being." After sorting all the data they gathered, Doctor Brown thanked Olivia and Oscar for bringing in their new Faunus companion, before letting them leave.
It was almost nighttime when the trio arrived back home Oscar flopped on to the couch tired from all the working and walking, he did today. "Man, I'm exhausted." Olivia chuckled, walking off to the kitchen, "I'll start cooking dinner."
Oscar turned his head to their faunas companion, he was a bit disappointed that they could not find out today who or what their Faunus friend was. But was glad to know that they had someone helping them solve this little mystery. "If only you can talk." Oscar watched as the Faunus stared down at him. Then a thought came to him, he lifted himself and fully faced the faunas. "Wait…maybe I can teach you."
Just then Olivia walked into the living room with cups of water. "Did you say, teach him?"
"Yea, I mean we already sort of taught him to follow us by using our hands. I think we can teach him to talk and understand." Olivia gave the idea some thought if they did manage to teach him to speak it would make communicating with him so much easier. "Alright, we'll give it a try, but for now let's go eat."
The king of monsters watched the two enter the kitchen. It was a strange day for him. Meeting so many humans in one day without any of them attacking him was, unusual for him, but he was content with that. He did not want to fight right now, not with how low his radiation was. So for now, he will eat, sleep, and continue absorbing the solar radiation, until he was ready to leave.
And done. Whelp, I hope you enjoyed that chapter. A little slow I know but this chapter was mainly to get Oscar and Olivia accustomed to this new type of 'faunas'. Things will get more exciting next chapter I promise.
Oh, for those who are wondering when this is taking place in RWBY, the first couple of chapters will be before Canon. There will be time skips here and there but nothing that will confuse you guys. The story won't remotely revolve only around our King of Monsters. Other monsters will have their chapters, one, in particular, will have more interaction/bond with team RWBY than the other monsters.
Another thing I would like to point out is that unlike other stories I won't be having Godzilla and other Titans speak complete sentences. You gotta remember that they were animals practically their whole lives till they turned sort of human. But they will be able to learn how to talk due to someone teaching them, but still won't be able to speak complete sentences. One monster won't need any help nor will they have many problems speaking due to their…alien biology.
Okay, I think that's all I needed to say for this Authors notes. Feel free to ask questions and I will try to answer them without spoiling anything. I'll see you all next time, PEACE!
