Haruo laid on the surface of the planet looking up at the stars. It had been a long day and still no sign of Baragon. A small fire was glowing close to him, "Haruo, still contemplating life?" Metphies asked walking over to Haruo's site.
"Yep."
"You know, everyone else is camped back there."
"I know, staying here is just what I need Metphies."
"What's going through your mind?"
"Yuko..."
"Ah, Sister Yuko. She's rather fascinating."
"She is." Haruo said, "I'm not for her Metphies. She deserves better."
"Of course not. The way you two gaze into each others eyes is exotic."
"I'm not from here Metphies. Haruo Sakaki was never real, just a delusional creation of two different alien races."
"So that's the conflict I've been sensing of you. Being of two separate houses. Growing up thinking that being human is all you knew. Now all you can do is ponder."
"I'm sorry I dragged everyone into this Metphies...i got everyone killed...human...Exif...all of them are dead."
"Not all of them, three men are sitting back there."
"Akira isn't even from this world." Haruo sighed, "I'm sorry...I'm not the fearless leader you think I am. Since you told me that name...all I can do is shudder." Metphies eyes softened, "I can't sleep Metphies...and when I do I have nightmares...in them I always lose the thing I can't live without..."
"Yuko?"
"No...myself." Haruo paused, "Metphies...from now on I need you to look out for Yuko. Protect her...make sure the baby grows up safe."
"What are you going to do? Courtship is one of God's most precious gifts-"
"Shut. Up." Haruo then stood up and faced Metphies, "Look around you Metphies. Do you think God will allow any of this to happen? Is Godzilla a force of God? If so then all God brings is unwanted death and destruction! What about Ghidorah? Ghidorah has brought extinction upon so many races!" Haruo then grabbed Metphies by the collar, "THERE IS NO GRACE!!! THERE IS NO MERCY!!! THERE IS NO GOD DAMN GOD!!!! SO STUFF IT METPHIES!!!" Haruo then shoved Metphies, "Get the hell out of my sight."
"May god lead the non-believer to enlightenment." Metphies said to himself as he turned around and went to the other campsite. Haruo grit his teeth and growled loudly before he let out a scream of anger and frustration. He ran his hand through his hair, he then tugged on his hair. He then sat down and looked over at the fire. He sighed and then laid down.
"What have I gotten us into?" Within a few moments Haruo drifted off to sleep. In his dream he was in the middle of the street. He was walking up to where his house used to be, everything seemed normal. Haruo got onto the sidewalk and then continued up the road, he then paused when he looked up and saw his house. He saw his mom sitting on the porch taking care of the various plants. He quickly ran up to her. "Mom." She didn't seem to acknowledge him, "Mom..." he reached out to touch her.
"Mama!" Haruo looked up, he saw his younger self Rush out the front door with a ball. His mother turned and smiled at him.
"Haruo, What are you doing?"
"Is it ok if I play in the front lawn?"
"Of course! Don't leave my sight ok?"
"Ok!" The child Haruo then ran off the porch. He started to toss his ball into the air and bounce it on the sidewalk. Haruo looked at his mother, he then looked down at his younger self.
"This is the day it happened..." Haruo said to himself, soon the young Haruo's ball bounced into the street. Haruo chases after it, "Hey! Kid! Wait!" Haruo started to run after himself, soon a massive truck came screeching down the street. "No!" Haruo quickly crouched over and grabbed his younger self. The truck then collided with Haruo's body completely destroying the front of the truck.
"Haruo!" His mother screamed. Haruo stood up. Suddenly he was in the dark of his living room, the only light on was a few lamps. Haruo looked on the couch, his younger self was lying there, his body had been broken in a few places and he was almost fully covered in blood. He then heard sobbing, he turned and saw his mother in the kitchen.
"Hikaru...What are we going to do? We can't let him die!" She sobbed, soon a much younger Hikaru rushes over. He gets down on one knee and placed his hand on Naomi's shoulder.
"Everything will be alright my love. Haruo's a tough kid."
Haruo frowned. He then walked outside to investigate he scene. He looked at the truck, no one was in the front seat. He then wandered up the hill from where the truck came from, "So...you're Haruo." A voice said, Haruo turned. He saw a man about roughly his age, he had black hair and some sort of weird visor on his eyes. He smirked.
"Who are you?"
"You don't know me, at least not yet."
"These dreams, are they your doing?"
"The ones before this one? No. This one? Oh hell yeah." He snickered.
"Why'd you show me this?"
"I felt like it." He placed his hands behind his back, "After all, this was the day that I attempted to kill you."
"What...?"
"Mm, of course it didn't stick. Several years before I helped scientists explore and then eventually destroy, which resulted in the kaiju of your nightmares. Godzilla."
"Why...? Do you not know how many people you killed?!" Haruo asked grabbing ahold of his collar,
"Yes, most of the human population. Even though I was aiming for you and your father. But now, I think I know how to get rid of you."
"Then tell me how."
"Why the hell would I do that?" He removed his visor, "I mean, you are my baby brother after all."
"You must be as stupid as you look if you think I'll believe you."
"You don't have to believe me." He said with a shrug, "It's true." He smiled and give a little laugh, "Anyways! Now that we've been acquainted how about we make a deal."
"A deal, what kind of deal?"
"You kill Godzilla, and I call of Ghidorah." Haruo's eyes widened once hearing this, "If you fail at killing Godzilla, then I'll have no choice but to allow Ghidorah to rain hell upon you."
"Why should I believe you?"
"It's simple Really," He said, "I'm your only flesh and blood that's still alive, well...at least that you know of."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, you don't know?"
"Don't know what?!"
"Mom's still alive."
"What...?"
"Naomi, your mother, former ruler of Planet X, also my mother, is alive."
"No, I watched her die!"
"Did you? Did you really?" He then pushed Haruo off of him, "Look Haruo, our moms alive. In fact she reached out to me to come and talk to you."
"What did she want?"
"She said you're looking for Baragon in the wrong place, you're looking above ground when you should be looking underneath." He then put his visior back on, "Oh, you'll want some of these." He said holding up an identical pair, "They help with the pain." Haruo took them in his hands, he looked down at them. "Now Haruo, wake up." He then punched Haruo hard in the gut.
Haruo suddenly jolted awake with a wrenching pain in his stomach. He clenched his gut, he then sat up and rubbed his forehead. "What the hell kind of dream was that?" He then looked in his other hand, there was the visor that his brother gave him. "What the hell...how...?" He looked around, he then put the Xilien visor on.
"Loading. Retinal scan." The visor then scanned his eyes, "Scan complete. Xilien X-01. Given name: Xeno." Haruo blinked, suddenly the world around him seemed to change. He stood up and looked around. He then picked up a heat signature. He looked down, beneath him was an eyeball, he looked up and down the plains the eye was connected to Baragon. The visor gave him a full color scan, Baragon had a maroon almost reddish skin with a bone colored horn and red eyes. It's skin had a similar metallic texture that Godzilla's had.
"How am I going to get to it...?" Haruo said, he then felt his pocket, inside was the buckle. He turned and made sure everyone was asleep. He pulled the buckle out, he then put it on his waist.
"Zone! Standing by! Say to change!"
"Zone On." Haruo then transformed in a small pillar of light.
"Ike! Zone Smasher!"
Haruo then looked to the sky, he quickly shot into the air. He then started to spin around at a high speed. He then started to descend into the ground below. He suddenly came to a massive hollow hole in the ground. He fell onto a ledge, he then stood up. He took the buckle off and transformed to his human state. Haruo heard the massive creature breathe in and out. Haruo then touches the communication piece in his ear. "Dad." No response, "Hikaru come in." He grit his teeth, "Hikaru!" A sudden sound came.
"Can't a ship just Rest In Peace...?" Hikaru asked with a slight yawn.
"I found Baragon, what do I do?"
"You'll have to find a way to wake it up, and after that you should be fine."
"As long as I don't have to fight it then I'm fine." He pulled the blaster off of his belt, he then aimed it at Baragon and shot at it. Baragon grunted and then scratched its body where Haruo shot it causing the whole cave to shake. "Damn..."
"Be patient Haruo, Baragon has been around a lot longer than you have."
"Well we don't have time for it to scratch its belly."
"Zone! Standing by! Say to change!"
"Zone On." As Haruo transformed he grew to a massive size and filled part of the cave. He then shot an energy blast at Baragon, Baragon growled. It opened its eyes and then flared up at Haruo, it rolled onto its legs and stood up. Baragon roared loudly causing the ground to shake, Baragon then rammed its head into Haruo's gut, Haruo then shot up through the surface and onto the face of the planet. Haruo groaned and sat up, Baragon roared and then crawled onto the surface. On all four legs Baragon stood at about 150 meters in height. Baragon roared, Haruo then stood up, he grew to 200 meters as he felt it was an appropriate height. The rest of the landing crew woke up, they all looked over through the trees and saw Haruo standing off against Baragon.
Haruo struck a fighting pose. Baragon roared and charged Haruo, Haruo quickly lunges and rolled over the top of Baragon, Haruo rolled onto his knees and spun around quickly. Baragon turned and roared again, Haruo then stood up. Baragon growled and then lunges into the air, "What the hell?!" Baragon flew through the air and then chomped down onto Haruo's forearm. Haruo screamed in pain. He tried moving his arm away but Baragon has completely locked its jaws. Haruo spun and tried to get Baragon to let go. Haruo eventually made a sharp turn and swung his arm through the air, Baragon let go and was sent flying through the air. Baragon then crashed down on its back. Haruo grabbed his forearm, he planted heavily. Baragon turned onto its stomach, it roared and the burrowed underground. Haruo gasped, he then looked around and tried to keep his guard up.
Suddenly the ground beneath Haruo caved in, Haruo grunted as he fell into a massive pit. Baragon then crawled on top of Haruo, Haruo grabbed Baragon's neck trying to stop it from biting him. Haruo quickly shoved Baragon off him and stood up. The color timer on Haruo's waist started to flash red. Haruo groaned, "Damn it...I'm running out of time." Baragon has now crawled out of the pit in the ground, it looked down at Haruo and roared. It then lunges at Haruo. Haruo quickly spun and performed a roundhouse kick sending Baragon flying into the air. Haruo quickly jumped out of the pit right as Baragon landed. "What do I do?" Haruo asked Hikaru telepathically.
"Well don't kill it!"
"No shit!"
"Language."
"Language?! I'm a grown ass man fighting am oversized dog! Don't tell me to watch my language tell me what to do!!!"
"Yeesh...so harsh. Fine. Zone Comfort, it makes monsters more agreeable."
"How do I do that?"
"...you're not gonna like it."
"Tell me!"
"You need to do a formation with your hands and then gently thrust your palm forward."
"Alright, I'll try." Haruo then stood up straight. He did whatever hand formation came to his mind and then thrusted his palm forward. A green sparkly dust flew from his hand and made its way to Baragon. Baragon growled, it sniffed the air and the dust. It suddenly let out a soft roar and calmed down. Haruo sighed in relief. He then shrunk down to human size, he removed the buckle and went back to his human state.
"Haruo!" A voice called. Haruo quickly shoved the buckle in his pocket. He turned and saw Glenn and the other men run towards him. "Are you Alright?" Glenn asked.
"Yeah." He said, "When the giant showed up he got me to safety."
"Dude! That was freaking bad ass!!!" Glenn said, "I remember watching Ultraman as a kid!! That was totally just like that!!!"
"Mm, Yeah." Haruo said, "Listen, we've found Baragon, which leaves Anguirus and the God of Kings. I suggest we head back to the Gotengo and find their locations."
"Come on Haruo, you're so stuck up." Kazuya said, he then walked over to Haruo and shoved him playfully, "We just saw a superhero beat up a monster. Aren't you curious?"
"No, I'm tired."
"By the way," Kazuya said, "What's with the shades? You in a band or something?"
Haruo glared, "No, I'm in pain and they help with the pain."
"Oh, so you're in pain. Well I hate to say it, but all the Goth bands have gone and died off now." Kazuya said with a laugh, the others laughed too.
"Nah, I think they're cool." Glenn said with a smile, "They suit him, it's bad ass."
"Yeah Kazuberry, they're bad ass." Haruo said. Kazuya suddenly blushed, Kazuberry was Umika's name for Kazuya while they were in bed. Glenn just snickered.
"Kazuberry? What's that your nickname?" Glenn asked,
"It's What Umika calls him." Haruo said,
"How the hell would you know that?!" Kazuya asked clearly enraged.
"I heard her moan it through the walls last night." Haruo said quickly.
"Oh shit!" Glenn said. Haruo just smirked, beating up on Kazuya gave him pleasure.
"Haruo, Glenn, let us be nice to..." Metphies began, he then snickered, "Kazuberry here." He smiled, "The lord says we should love one another."
"Him and Umika have been doing more than just that." Glenn said.
"That's enough." Haruo said, "Let's just get back to the Gotengo." Haruo then walked off. Everyone else followed after him.
A/N
Yo! Here again with another chapter! Anyways...X is Haruo's brother, yes that X. The one from Final Wars. I don't know why I made that choice...I mean idk, it's just that the actor in my opinion kind of looks like Haruo irl and every time I hear Haruo's name X's face is the first thing that pops up. Anyways, yeah...haha. Anyways! They found Baragon!
Also, how did everyone like the last chapter that was mostly centered around Yuko? I had fun writing it, but if you guys don't like it I won't write more like it. Anyways! I'm trying to draw a cover for this story instead of using the Planet Eater Poster or Godzilla Earth or whatever it is currently. I've started drawing recently because I got to meet Matt Frank at G-Fest, and I even entered an art contest alongside his adopted daughter! She's a real sweetheart! Anyways! Matt has always been an idol of mine and I was totally bummed out when I couldn't get a copy of Redman :( Amy who! He's inspired me to start drawing and doing stuff like that! So here we go!!!!
