Author's Note: Welcome back everyone! Now, I've been getting questions on what incarnation of Godzilla this is. Well, he's a mix of Final Wars, Heisei, and a few others. As a Servant, his abilities and skills represent his legend, which is his entire incarnation line, though strictly limited in their use due to Hakuno. What he doesn't have though is any Godzilla Earth.
DescendantYI2: Truly, Hakuno has to be careful with her actions and not reveal anything too suspicious. Miki may have delayed interest in the Digital Human, but it's only a matter of time. Hakuno is a digital human, which means she still originated as a human.
Demons Anarchy of Pride: Doubt she'll ever tame him, King of Monsters indeed!
Student: Avoidance of the problem will eventually lead to many consequences… Let's hope Hakuno can handle it.
Thunder Dragon: See Author's Note.
Daemon of Crawling Tentacles: Cosmos will eventually show up!
Glasses Writer: Well, of course, she doesn't! Haha!
Kaiju Alpha: This is Extra Hakuno, but with the Extella's Regalia. See rest on Author's Note.
King of Fans: Her educational knowledge must be leaps ahead.
No Fanfic No Life: It is quite refreshing to write people who, other than just skills they learned, aren't some sort of chosen ones or heroes. Just people. And Hakuno probably appreciates that.
Enjoy the chapter everyone! A mistaken wish that leads to consequences, that which inadvertently brings either salvation or demise to mankind by a creature who knows rage against them; The King of Monsters.
Digital/Kaiju
Chapter 4: Before The Beginning
"And here is where people with abilities like us come together to work," Miki Saegusa said, opening the door to reveal a medium sized room with a marble flooring and multiple desks, two which had large monitors on top, one stacked with books, and the last completely empty.
There was a large singular window, that overlooked Yokohama, the city in which the base was located. In a relaxing way, orange sunlight from the dusk sky shined its rays into to the room, mostly upon a few potted plants and flowers that helped decorate it, and also gave a certain homely mood to place.
Miki looked to Hakuno Kishinami, who was examining the room. "Of course, you won't be forced to work. As your job is essentially school, after all."
The paperwork done for the girl was already atrocious, not that Hakuno would know what was going on behind the scenes. But, Miki had analyzed some of it a half hour prior while Akane Yashiro showed Hakuno Kishinami where the building's commodities were located, such a bed, restrooms, and the like. While the monotoned girl was drafted in the SDF, she still required education.
For being sixteen years of age, the magus teenager acted and looked younger, it was no surprise Akane originally thought Hakuno to be fourteen. As she needed to be guided constantly, it was as if the brown-headed girl was lacking someone to have taught the necessary social skills needed in modern day times.
Of course, that could be blamed on the girl's true origins… She lacked parental figures.
Maybe Miki herself could be Hakuno's private tutor? She always got along well with children.
"People?" Hakuno questioned, looking around the room but finding no other person.
"Ah, well, nobody's here right now," Miki replied. "Left before we got here, you'll see them tomorrow, Hakuno."
Along with some new clothes, as adorable as the girl looked in that brown school uniform, she needed something else to wear.
Hakuno Kishinami seemed more fascinated with looking out the window at the urban city than anything within the room itself. As if she had never experienced the sight of a modern day civilization, yet knew the devices within the room, which were high technological assets in themselves, like the back of her hand.
Near-military grade computers and hardware, but the girl finds the view better… Most teenagers her age would be fascinated with being in a military installation, but not Hakuno apparently.
"Miki," Hakuno said.
"What is it?" She replied.
"I don't understand," Hakuno began. "Why all this?"
"You mean why I've brought you here?" The psychic wondered. "You are aware of the Kaiju by now; correct?" She said.
"You knew I wasn't before," Hakuno eyes narrowed slightly in suspicious.
Hakuno… Hakuno Kishinami was sharp! The girl identified immediately that Miki knew the magus didn't know about Kaiju prior, which would seem odd in this world from all she's learned already!
Miki Saegusa smiled warmly, "You're quite intelligent, Hakuno. Did you piece it together recently?"
The Digital Human nodded, "You were… Too friendly to me, like you already knew something the others didn't…" Hakuno replied with a downcast gaze, indicating she wasn't exactly fond of distrusting, but experience forced the lesson onto her.
No doubt the girl had a harsh time in what Miki knew as this 'Moon Cell' place.
"Sorry," Miki apologized.
"How?" Hakuno asked.
"Remember what I said earlier to explain your episode?" The woman said, referring to Hakuno's painful event a short while ago.
"Powers," The Digital Human responded. "Miss. Yashiro mentioned me being a psychic?"
"You don't have to worry about what you have to say here, there aren't any camera recordings or such in this room," Miki Saegusa reassured. "But, yes, I'm a psychic, That's the closest humanity has to your own abilities. Think of it like premonition with slight surface mind-reading, the latter is difficult even for me, and I doubt anyone would be able to read you… You're…" She couldn't find a word for it.
"I'm not real," Hakuno answered.
"You are!" Miki replied instantly. "Just, your origins make you immune, I guess. But don't degrade yourself, Hakuno, you're human just like any of us."
The magus girl's monotone expression made it next to impossible to determine if she believed Miki Saegusa or not.
It had already turned dark, the sun finally fully set.
"Where's my room?" Hakuno asked.
"Oh, this way," Miki guided the girl.
A midnight toll, the earth lit only by the light of the moon, the stars barely visible due to light pollution of the cityscape known as Omaezaki. A young group of people hung around the entry point of the Niino River leading out to the sea, joking around and having a general good time with their social gathering. Just across, not even a mile out stood the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant.
"Sasuke!" An older teenager girl cried out towards the man at the river's bank, right where it departed into the ocean, behind her was a crowd of people still partying without a care, there was trash littering the floor.
"What?" The man replied questioningly. "Just putting the turtle back!" He answered, revealing a turtle in his hand, then briefly stumbled on a rock, dropping the creature into the water. "Oh damn, didn't mean to do that!" He looked a bit concerned for the creature, "Well, I'm sure it'll be fine."
He glanced towards the ocean, his sight catching a strange formation on the surface water that he could barely gleam under the night sky.
"Do see something?" The girl questioned down to the man.
"Barely," He made his way up towards the party, "Look," He pointed towards the ocean.
"I don't see anything," She pointed.
"It is hard to see in the night- Ow!" He rubbed his ankle as a aluminum can bounce off it. He turned to his assailant who seemed to have carelessly thrown it. "Hey! You can't just throw it on the ground like that! I bought bags for a reason!"
Another man, a bit bulkier, shrugged. "Who cares? Let nature clean it for us."
"Tch," He grunted in irritation as he picked up the can himself.
"Don't mind him, Sasuke, I'll help clean up after the party," The girl said.
"Thanks," He responded. "I swear, the nerve of some people, one of these days something is going to wake them up to the damage they cause-"
A resounding roar echoed loudly, causing everyone in the vicinity to cover their ears. Their attention, no matter the sound of the music that played nearby, was drawn towards the ocean waters… Then up… And up… Before finally settling at the massive, one-hundred meter tall saurian Kaiju that stood menacingly.
The Kaiju stood there for a brief moment, seemingly frozen until its tail breached the water's surface with a splash, and the dinosaurian monster began moving forward seemingly towards the group.
"Let's get out of here!" The earlier, littering man screamed in fear as he, along with a multitude of other party-goers, fled for their lives.
"Sasuke, we should run too!" The girl grabbed the young man's shoulder.
"It's not heading towards us," He responded, "The Kaiju's movements are going towards the Power Plant! It'll be an environmental catastrophe!" He turned and rushed towards a nearby truck, his own.
"Good idea!" The girl said as she headed his way to get into the truck as well, but noticed her friend was instead grabbing some sort of object. "What's that?"
"It's a radiation reader, picked one up for a school project, never thought I'll need it now!"
"It's making noise," The girl stated.
"..." He didn't say anything and directed a part of the object towards the Kaiju, which caused it to create a louder static. "God… It's radioactive… Which means it's the same creature that caused the disaster back in Numazu… It might have come to feed off the Power Plant!"
"Feed? That thing eats radiation?"
"Don't know."
The Kaiju made landfall, its footsteps like thunder that echoed when its weight pressed against the earth. The monster's direction headed closer to the Nuclear Power Plant, crushing any of the tiny fences without so much as noticing them in its path. A few tall pillars of red and white stripes were knocked down by strong claws, the dinosaur roaring as it decimated the plant with little regard for the damage it caused.
Finally, the massive creature reached the core and began tearing the place down with ease, multiple explosions were caused in an instant, but the Kaiju stood in that spot. Suddenly, the dorsal plates on its back flashed blue, like a switch has been turned on before flicked off once more. This process repeated multiple times, signifying some odd event transpiring within the monster's body.
The man looked towards his device and found the radiation had increased, like his worst fears realized before it began to decrease drastically against to the same levels as the Kaiju projected passively. "It's… Absorbing the radiation from the plant."
"Something can do that?" His friend asked.
"Something can now," He responded.
An alarm suddenly sounded throughout the city.
"That's the evacuation siren," The girl said.
"Yeah, let's get out of here," He said as the truck started and he drove away the sight, his eyes looked at the side window for a moment, spotting the Kaiju turning its face towards a particular direction, then making its way back towards the ocean, like its business had been concluded.
If he knew his geology right, that direction he faced was Numazu, which the Kaiju had destroyed, but also Yokohama… Now, what was in Yokohama that the Kaiju could find interest in?
Godzilla, having satisfied his requirements for energy, sunk beneath the waves. His instincts and senses informed him that his old ally had stopped for the night, most likely to rest until the sun rises once more. While the King of Monsters found it interesting to have all these names in his head, an effect of being a Servant summoned to an era. They were still human terms that humanity created to describe objects.
The radiation gleaned from the Nuclear Power Plant helped fill his reserves, which shall allow him to access more of his active abilities without having to rely on his Master. Though, even with the absorbed radiation, this body was still that of a Servant, and so specifically required magical energy to keep itself within this world.
Unless by some measure he'd find a suitable substitute for prana, he was stuck with the Digital Human.
He frowned, Digital?
It hardly matters, she was still human, and he hated humans.
He would have destroyed the entire city if it wasn't for the fact he needed to conserve for potential fights.
Later, he'd destroy them later.
For now, he would find a suitable location to slumber, which as a Servant would drastically reduce the amount of prana he consumed, allowing the Master time to recuperate.
So, Godzilla, King of the Monsters, dived deeper into the ocean.
As deep as only submarines can venture, perhaps deeper than even they could.
The Heroic Spirit settled himself in an underwater gorge and began to sleep.
Servants do not dream, but he'd experience something akin to it.
A dream about flames and fire, a city surrounded by death, it was unfamiliar to him. It wasn't his. This was some far future. A future that never was in this world. The sky burns. The roads end. The buildings collapse. Live fade away, men, women, children, elderly, soldiers, doctors... Her present began here.
She was born through perdition.
A question ponders in her mind, why? Why has this world turned into Hell on Earth? Why so much death? Why should she see such suffering and only 'live' to not speak of it?
Why?
