It seemed that time had won out with bringing Kronos and Rhea together, though it seemed somewhat hurried to some. But they seemed happy so what was there to say against it? Of course, someone forgot to invite Gojira to it but he didn't mind. He was still recovering from his wound that the Sea Draken gave him, so he was fine with just healing and not worrying anyone about making it worse. Still, he was surprised that Rhea would accept a proposal on the spot from Kronos after just one romantic dinner.
That meant he was now alone at Rhea's home or at Kronos' black marble castle, with Rhea of course. He wasn't sure of Kronos just yet, the King of the Universe was still giving off a weird vibe. Still, Gojira wasn't going to upset the balance that the new couple had. He started spending time with his nieces and nephews, but learned something interesting from Prometheus, the Titan of forethought.
"What do you mean, I should be aware of my surroundings, Prometheus?" The Avatar questioned his nephew.
The Titan of forethought gave his uncle a thoughtful look before answering, "Exactly what I mean, Uncle, you should be more aware of your surroundings. In a battle or in the normal peaceful moments that fill our time. Be more observant, you'll need it."
The Avatar frowned and thoughted on that, before nodding and thanked him before heading back to the Marble castle. As he lumbered towards Mount Othrys, Gojira let his senses outward, taking in as much as he could. His nose caught the scent of flowers, fresh fruits before he stopped, gagging. That last scent was a sweaty Atlas after his workout, Gojira had to gather himself before returning to his original destination. Upon entering, he sighed and only had a moment before he was pulled inside by a very overjoyed Kronos.
"What?!" Gojira got out, struggling to escape his siblings grasp.
"Were got to have a kid!" Kronos said, grinning from ear to ear.
"That's great, but I can't breath!"
Kronos quickly dropped him and looked sheepish, something that was very unusual on his face. The Avatar groaned and got up, looking at his brother before smiling. Maybe the future was looking up after all.
It was very quiet now that Rhea was busy with Kronos, simply put. Gojira was finding more time spent on learning about his abilities and strengths then speaking with his "family". Of course, this also meant pitting himself against Atlas as well. Today wasn't any different as he entered Atlas' aren, waiting in the center as Atlas was warming up. Hyperion was up and making sure the sun was moving across the sky as Atlas grinned.
The titan of strength charged and caught Gojira off guard, but the heavier being caused Atlas a big problem. The avatar of Earth made Atlas fall to a knee before using both hands to pound between Atlas' shoulders. Freed, Gojira spun and and sent the Titan flying into the wall. The two continued this wrestling match, strength vs weight. In the end, Atlas won anyway.
"Ugh…."
Atlas grinned as he headed into the cool pool of water near the arena as Gojira gasped for air. One thing that was clearly a weakness was Goji's reliance on his tough hide to tank most of what Atlas could use on him. The fact was that his hide wasn't strong enough to take everything as of yet. Atlas had used this to his advantage by jabbing into Gojira's weakened armored hide. The pain brought the avatar down and ended the match quickly.
"You need to work on taking advantage of your opponents lack of armor, Brother," Atlas said, stepping into the pool, "Your hide is tough but it'll take years to harden to the point of near immunity to all attacks. You need to work on your brute strength, speed and other attacks you can produce."
Gojira only laid on the floor, trying to understand why he instinctively always wanted to rely on his tough exterior, maybe a talk with Prometheus about this.
Prometheus sighed as Gojira looked at him quietly.
"Your question is simply one I can not answer without explaining a little bit of what I know."
Gojira waited for his nephew to continue, as Prometheus decided to fill the void of silence.
"Your apart of the earth, Grandmother's body. In this world, there are energies that this place can create without the help of any deity at all. These energies, while unknown to me and my family are, in my mind, inside you as well. This is why you have a strong aura around you whenever you're near us. Something that allows me to say, you have abilities that need this power to activate."
"So," Goji said softly, "I need to meditate and look for these unknown energies?"
"Yes, if you don't, I think it'll be much harder for you to really reach your full potential" The Titan of Forethought replied.
It had been weeks since that talk with Prometheus, Gojira found himself meditating near the place he had been "born". He felts something inside him churning and shifting, but the energy didn't want to budge. He was getting annoyed since he found it but couldn't use it, and his anger only grew as he was interrupted for the umptenth time by Hiperion, Atlas and Theia, along with Eos.
He was going so angry at them that he was about to get up and tell them to shut up when Theia spoke up. The usually quiet and shy Goddess, despite her domain being the Titaness of Shining, was clearly drunk and in a boasting mood.
"Gojira is clearly the weak link in this family," She said, hiccuping every third or fourth word, "He wouldn't be able to stand up to my hubby, Hiperion! He is the Lord of the West, what was Mother thinking when she made such a brute?"
Gojira froze and his anger reached a boiling point, despite being drunk, she was the last person he expected to bad mouth Gaia. But he was not going to allow Theia to continue her foul talk.
Hiperion would be the first to notice the form of Gojira rising from the hill that Gaia had made him, the beast's back was generating a blue light. To the Titian, this was odd since the deity was the only one that had any lights coming off his skin. The lights however grew in intensity, like supercharged blue lightning bolts, arching and bouncing from each of the spines on his back.
"What is going on?" He mused and got up, Theia left to herself as he walked towards the sparking.
That was probably a good thing as he felt his skin tingle, ears pop and the smell of ozone fill the air as Gojira turned his gaze on him then slowly opened his mouth. Hiperion expected a roar to come out, what he got was much worse.
Out of his brother's mouth came a cylindrical shaped wave of pure sound, rushing at him with enough force to cause the ground under it to rip itself out of the ground. Hiperion dodged as the attack rushed past him, hitting a hill.
The hill didn't survive, exploding everywhere as Gojira turned his head towards Theia.
Atlas, being the least drunk of the group, grabbed the others and jumped out of the way as the wave went overhead and tore through the Earth easily. Then it hit the closest mountain, and the Titans gasped in shock.
The Mountain looked ok, then started to shake and then collapsed in on itself as the sound wave tore through the massive peak of rock. The dust cloud rushed over them with a massive roar before the group stared at Gojira in shock, such a massive attack that easily wiped out a mountain was something that made the deities shudder in fear. Fear that would soon be replaced with wonder then worry as their brother wobbled on his feet then collapsed onto the Earth, groaning as his energy reserves were empty and now he was stone tired.
He entered Morpheus's realm as the group rushed over to help him.
