Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hi everyone! How are you all doing? Well, I hope. I have been feeling a little down for the past few days, but I'm slowly getting back on my feet. And I will put all of my time and energy into making this story one really worthy of Disney and Toho classics!
Still looking for anyone that is willing to do a long one-shot that mixes Sofia the First with my novel Monsters and Magic! I really would appreciate it if anyone can make a one-shot like that similar to Japan Boy's fanfics. If any of you wish to give it a shot, please let me know via PM or review!
In this chapter, we have a bit of a time skip. Only five days, so it's not a long time skip. This features on what has happened so far after the events of Godzilla and Little Godzilla being a bit more exposed in public. I believe that what you will read on next will surprise you, and also immerse yourself more into this story.
I really want to thank God for helping me with this story. He did it help me out immensely in making my first novel, which still surprises me to this day, and also with this second book. He gave me my imagination, and I want to put it to good use for Him. So thank you God for helping me out!
I do not own Godzilla or any of the monsters created by Toho, nor do I own any of the Disney characters and kingdoms. I do own my OC creations, and most of the songs I made here. If I use a song that is by another artist, I will give him/her/them their proper dues and credits.
Now, on with the novel!)
Chapter 23
It was another bustling morning in the kingdom of Arendelle, the citizens all up and ready to seize the morning. While some may have loved to sleep in more, a majority wanted to make most of the day. At the castle of the kingdom, two certain someone's were in the kitchen preparing breakfast. It was Anna again, the princess once more trying her best to make a good meal for a certain saurian that was living in the water nearby. However, the one assisting her and making her own batch of food for Godzilla was Regina! Yes, the visitor of Arendelle had quickly become the special guest of the royal women. And she was not the only one, for Alice had also become the special guest of Anna and Elsa!
The Spanish-born beauty looked to her friend and stated, "You're doing good, Anna! Just let the steak simmer for a minute or so, and just lightly sprinkle the spices on like I showed you yesterday.". The princess smiled at her friend, replying that she would do so while keeping an eye on her third steak.
Watching them from afar was Alice and Elsa, the two beauties supervising their friend/sister's cooking ability. Alice continued to watch when she said to Elsa, "You know, despite how long it's been, I'm still surprised that all of this happened. I mean, not only getting to be special guests of you and Anna. But… getting to know a being from another universe, and creatures I thought existed only in myths and legends.". The Snow Queen nodded her head, now going over the events that happened four days ago…
~Flashback~
When Godzilla arrived back on dry land after his tussle with the Rock Wyrm, he stomped over to Alice and Elsa. The mature blonde woman was a bit hesitant of being so close to a creature of size and shape, in her view that it surpassed anything seen in Wonderland. However, her fears were allayed when Elsa went over and stroked Godzilla's right side, the one her sister was on. The queen turned to Alice and said, "It is okay. Godzilla here won't hurt you. As you just saw, he is much more then meets the eye.".
Alice was still a little unsure, but she trusted her new friends. Taking a gulp of courage, she walked over and stood in front of the saurian. Godzilla lowered his head down and stared directly at the woman. The native of England was entranced by the fierce-looking brown with red-flecks eyes of a being that had the look and feeling of a primal king. Godzilla sniffed her a little, and found that she smelled of fresh flowers and earth. It was a good kind of smell, and he let out a low growl before nudging her with his head. Alice let out a little squeak from the touch, but instead of retreating back, she slowly reached out and hugged his snout carefully.
Anna and Elsa were pleased by this, but it seemed that Sven and Kristoff were more stunned and surprised to see a monster doing such a thing to a human being. Olaf smiled and went over to the group, his little legs scurrying towards the green-skinned beast. The monster was more then a little startled when he saw the strange white being, his sense of smell telling him that it was made out of snow and ice. Godzilla had been to the arctic regions back at his home universe on more than one occasion, but never had he seen or smelled anything alive out of the material.
Olaf hugged Godzilla's leg and said, "Hiyah, new friend! My name is Olaf, and you are just one strong monster! Thanks for saving us from that large rock worm-thing!". The saurian just looked at the being strangely, then casually kicked Olaf off of him. The snowman went flying through the air, but laughing merrily until he landed on Sven's back. He cheered like a kid who had just gotten off a fast ride and yelled he wanted to do it again. All of the people, plus reindeer, shook their head at the antics of their chilly friend.
Regina looked to Godzilla and exclaimed, "Oh, Godzilla! There is so much I need to tell you! So much catching up we need to do! I need to tell you about Tracy, Ariel, Cinderella, and Melody!". The mention of the names of his bonded, etched for all time in his mind, Godzilla looked down intently at the young lady.
Kristoff went to them and stated, "Umm… I hate to be the reunion crasher her, but I think we still like to know a little bit more about him. And also on our mountain… trolls…". His voice died down when he turned around, and saw that Håvard was gone. The part of the mountain that they were on showed that the magical being was gone, and also that the tunnel was now sealed up behind solid rock. The hole that the Rock Wyrm made was also gone, repaired and made it never was there in the first place. The girls and Godzilla looked at the scene, Elsa and Anna glad that their ally had managed to go back to Ingfrid.
Alice said, "I believe we may have more pressing matters, Mr. Kristoff. I'm not sure if anyone has heard the fight that occurred here, but if they did and come to this part to investigate…". She didn't need to say anymore. If others saw Godzilla right now, they would most likely take it the wrong way and the reaction would probably backslide in a negative way.
Anna looked this way and that, then pointed to the left side of her position. She suggested, "Let's go that way! Its further from the kingdom, and also there should be a dense enough forest for us to shield Godzilla from view.". The people quickly agreed with her, and started to go towards that direction. Regina urged Godzilla to follow, and the saurian let out a low growl before stomping after them. Kristoff got on his reindeer friend, Olaf still on Sven, and raced after the others.
It was a bit of a long walk, but soon they were in a section of the land where the forest trees were dense and thick. Once they were in a spot that was suitable for them, close to the trees but also not too far from the water, the group stopped. Regina turned to Godzilla, who was still on the lookout for anything that could pose a threat to either him or his bonded. She said with affection, "Godzilla… you're still the same as last time I saw you, so many years ago. It's good to see you again.". Anna, Elsa and the rest looked on as the young woman was bonding with her friend. The saurian just growled low in his throat, accepting the human at his leg.
Kristoff then asked, "Okay, Regina. Please… from the top, tell us everything you know about Godzilla here. And I would like to know everything.". The Spanish beauty turned to the group, nodded and started to tell the tale on how she first met the King of the Monsters sixteen years ago. She also told them about Mothra, Rodan, and Anguirus. It was a long tale, but the party was totally entranced by Regina's tale on how the monsters came to be, on how they protected others, and how they saved a kingdom from a powerful sorceress and four other monsters she brought in from Godzilla's world. While Anna and Elsa knew the tale thanks to Lady Benedikta, it was something else to hear the story from someone who had been there. Regina told the tale with such life and passion, that the group were a little immersed in the story.
After the tale ended at the part where Godzilla and company left in the magical portal that took them back home, the young lady turned back to the saurian. She said, "Godzilla… after you left, the other kingdoms came together to help fix the parts of Melody's home that could not be fixed by magic. Soon, everyone started to get to know one another better then ever! In fact, love started to really bloom between Melody and Oliver! You know, the African boy with the staff who helped us out?". The saurian did not understand most of what she was saying, but felt that it was important to hear.
Elsa inquired, "Oliver and Melody were an item, correct?".
Regina replied, "Yes, and I believe it was due to Godzilla and the other good monsters arriving to the Marcel kingdom. If it hadn't been for them, most likely that Oliver and Melody would not have met at all. In any case, the two dated and saw each other very much. In fact, it was rarely a time when they were not together. After some years, they finally got married! I believe they may have little ones on the way.". Anna and Elsa were very excited now, hearing about true love, marriage and also little ones. For them, it was love bringing in life into this world the beautiful, right and true way. Kristoff was a bit nervous now, feeling that he was not ready for marriage… yet. He had strong feelings for Anna, but marriage was a big step and he needed to be sure he was ready for it.
Godzilla growled at Regina, and the young lady seemed to know what he was trying to say. She turned back to him and said, "Sorry, Godzilla. I don't know much about Cinderella or Tracy. I think that I heard some time ago that Tracy got married to Mainard, Belle and Léandre's son. I wish I could have been there to see it. After that, I don't know much of anything. I just hope and pray that they are thriving together well.". Godzilla gave off another growl as he looked towards the sea now, wondering if his first bonded humans were indeed alive and growing.
Alice inquired, "Everyone, what are we going to do for the time being? And to their Majesties, what were you going to do since you knew of Godzilla's existence?". Kristoff added in that he would like to know as well, since he was Anna's intended and he was left out of the loop.
The princess answered, "I'm sorry, Kristoff. We were going to tell you, and the other whole kingdom. But, me and Elsa thought it would be wise to wait a little bit until Godzilla has grown more accustomed to this new land and to us. When the time was right, we would show him to the citizens and also that he is not a monster… even though he looks it.". The Ice Master, his reindeer companion and Olaf looked at Godzilla, who stared right at them with his fierce gaze. Kristoff was very tempted to make some kind of sarcastic comment, but decided to keep it in check. One thing Anna and Elsa had taught him was self-control of himself.
Olaf then asked a reasonable question, "So… what do we do now?".
Elsa answered, "We go back to the castle and try to see if anyone did in fact hear the battle. If so, we fabricate a story so that the villagers believe that it was caused by a localized natural event.". When it came to taking charge in situations, Elsa was at the top of her game. Her sister, her intended and friends agreed to this. Elsa looked to Godzilla and asked if he could go back into the water and wait there until they called him. The saurian let out a sharp but short roar, slowly turning his back to the group and going back into the water. Regina looked as her friend returned to the clear blue liquid.
Once he was out of sight, Kristoff stated, "Okay, this day is officially for me, because my mind has been blown sky high. Now, let's go back to the castle and see what we can do there.". He asked Elsa if she could make an ice sleigh for Sven to pull while they rode on it. The reindeer did not look pleased by this idea, but knew he had little to no choice in the matter. The Snow Queen used her power to create an icy vehicle that was large enough for all of them to sit in comfortably. She made an icy reign for Sven, the reindeer almost yelping from the sudden cold it just felt.
Kristoff got in first at the front, since he was the only one that could drive a sleigh. Next was Anna, followed by Alice and then Elsa, and finally Regina. Once she was situated, the pretty Spanish-born lady looked behind to see the spot where Godzilla had gone down under. Anna turned and saw this, and a small smile graced her lips. She said, "Don't worry, Regina! You'll see Godzilla again soon! We promise! And in a way that is out of the public eye!". Regina would have inquired on how it was possible, until Kristoff gave the reigns a snap and Sven took off fast! All of that pent up energy he had stored up some time ago due to all the action was coming back to him, and he was off like a shot!
"WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Regina and Alice exclaimed at the same time as the icy sleigh took off.
~End flashback~
When they got back to their original sleigh that they came in, Sven was hooked up to it and the group rode back to Arendelle village. Along the way, Anna and Elsa offered Alice and Regina to stay at their castle for a while. Since they knew the secret of Godzilla, and also they had gotten to know them a little better, they wanted to see if they could make their vacation a little more eventful and worth telling when they went back home. The two women smiled brightly and replied that they would accept their offer.
When they got back to the town, the girls went to the Angel Inn to collect their stuff. While they were there, the group found that no one had ever heard the action that happened at the base of the mountain. They thanked the Higher One above for this stroke of good fortune. Gabriella was disappointed that the new guests were already checking out, but she was compensated by the princess and queen when they told her the situation. Needless to say, Gabriella was very much stunned when they gave her two jewels to her. Anna gave her a small sapphire, and Elsa a small diamond from her purse. Both gems were flawless, and would fetch a hefty sum! So, it small wonder when Gabby fainted.
When Alice and Regina arrived at the palace, they were introduced to the servants and Captain Rissing. He told them that it was a pleasure to meet them, and that he hoped they enjoyed their stay in the castle. And they did, quite immensely. After picking some guest rooms that were to the royal ladies chambers, Alice and Regina explored the castle grounds with Anna. While Alice was more reserved and cool like Elsa, Anna and Regina were running around and playing like carefree teenagers. For the princess, it was good to have another friend around that had energy like her. Same for Regina, only adding in that it was a first for her to explore such a unique castle that was different from the Marcel one.
After exploring the castle, in the early evening hours, Elsa and Anna showed Alice and Regina how they called to Godzilla while not alerting the public to his appearance. When no one was around, the royal beauties took them to the secret exit/entrance after making them swear not to reveal the secret to others. When the four got to secret docks underneath the castle, Anna called out for Godzilla and the saurian once again rose in spectacular fashion! And when the princess told them on what happened earlier that morning, it was Regina and Alice that offered to aid Anna in some cooking skills while also having the opportunity to feed the monster.
So, thus it was like this for four days now. Every morning, Anna and Regina would rise early to make breakfast for Godzilla with Elsa and Alice either supervising or helping out. And after feeding the King of the Monsters, they would go out and do things in the village like shopping, talking or reading books. Alice and Elsa shared many things, including a love of literature. The four ladies became good friends, and formed a friendship that was gradually getting stronger. Kristoff and Sven returned back to the wild, saying they needed some to adjust to the shock of having seeing a monster from another universe and beings that were different from his Rock troll family. Olaf stayed behind to keep Anna and Elsa company, and he often entertained them and his new friends with his innocent, crazy antics.
When the princess and Regina finished their steaks, the four put them on plates and headed out to the secret entrance/exit to feed their large saurian friend. It was just not the human friendship getting stronger, it was also the bond growing between the four females and Godzilla!
The mutated dinosaur had grown attached to Anna and Elsa, now to Regina and Alice. The Spanish beauty had known Godzilla before, and it seemed that the friendship was being cemented now between the duo. Alice was a little more hesitant and reserved, but slowly she started to accept the behemoth as a friend rather than just an acquaintance. Godzilla himself felt that Alice was a unique individual, almost in league with Elsa. It was due to Alice being in Wonderland, and now had a certain energy around her that made interesting. At least according to the King of the Monsters.
When the four went to the secret docks, Godzilla was already there and expecting breakfast. The ladies saw that they only had to feed him about once a day, which was good for the humans food supply. Regina was the first to approach Godzilla with her steak, the young lady always eager to feed her friend/hero. She stated, "Here you go, Godzilla! This one has a little more kick to it than last time, so I hope you like it.". She tossed the cooked meat to the mutated dinosaur, and he snatched it up and ate it with little difficulty. He swallowed it, and indeed the meat had some spice to it but not too much like Anna's four days ago. He let out a rumble from his throat, sounding his approval.
Next was Alice, the pretty blonde woman holding out his portion that was on a plate. She said, "Here you go. I hope you like this too, Godzilla.". The saurian had to take the steak up from the plate with his claw, the lady not being able to toss a steak up to him high enough to catch it in his mouth. He picked it up with his right claw with a dexterity that impressed the ladies. He tossed the meat into his mouth, swallowed, and then nodded his head slightly to Alice. The blonde beauty smiled, very much glad that he liked the steak. Next was Elsa, and finally Anna.
After he had his fill, Godzilla let out a loud rumble from his chest before going back into the water. Elsa then inquired, "So, what do you want to do now?".
Regina answered, "Well, we want to do something before me and Alice leave tomorrow. It's been great staying here, and catching up more with Godzilla. But, we both want to see more of the world before going back home. So, how about one last trek through the town and the woods before heading back to the castle?". The royal ladies felt that this was a good idea, and the four left the secret docks to make their plans to go see the village one last time before going to the forest for one last nature hike.
~Outside of the castle~
It was now early afternoon, and things were bustling. The villagers were now in full swing in their work, and also enjoying the weather that was there. It was balmy, pleasant, and also a good day for just about anything. However, one person was not enjoying the day as the others. It was the Duke of Weselton, the old diplomat and noble on his kingdom's ship, all prepared to leave. He had been summoned back to his land by his king, saying that an emergency had taken place and ALL nobles should return to deal with the situation. The elderly man was not glad to leave the land of Arendelle, especially after witnessing some peculiar that had been happening in the kingdom ever since Elsa's birthday. He really wanted to get to the bottom of the mystery, but every time he tried to sneak or snoop anywhere around the palace, Rissing was there to deter him and his bodyguards.
He looked out at the castle that was on the port side of his vessel, very much frustrated that his attempts to find out anything on Queen Elsa and Princess Anna had yielded little results. The captain of the ship saw the noble looking out at the castle, and just shook his head. Most of Weselton knew of the old man's obsession with trying to secure Arendelle by legal and semi-illegal means, and they all were hoping that he would stop with this obsession. The captain's name, Jonathan, went to the Duke and said, "Sir, we are about to leave port soon. I believe that the situation is very dire at the moment.".
The elderly diplomat inquired, "How is it so dire that I am needed back there now?". He was a bit curious about the affair, Jonathan telling him earlier that the kingdom was on high alert due to citizens from other kingdoms and villages going to Weselton for safety from some kind of unidentified being that was terrorizing the countryside. Of course, the Duke would rather stay far away from the action but he had orders from the king of his land to return back to help with the crisis.
Capt. Jonathan answered, "It is so dire, that all ships in the fleet had just been outfitted with special cannons that can fire more powerfully then our regular ones. Take a look for yourself.". The Duke turned away from the sight of the castle to what was on the deck, and saw that indeed the cannons on the ship were different then before. He went down from the bow and onto the deck to take a better look.
The cannons were a solid black color, with the insignia of the Weselton kingdom on the side in the colors of red, blue and gold. They were fresh and new, and about 1.5 times the size of the old cannons. The barrel had a ring of red around it, giving it a display of a ring of fire around it. Jonathan explained, "These cannons use a little more gunpowder then our old ones, but it can actually utilize more of its potent power when fire. The rounds fired from this new cannon is two to three times more fast and forceful then before.". The old noble was mildly impressed with the cannon's description and power.
He turned to the captain and requested, "This cannon is impressive, but I want to see if she lives up to her description. How about we give her a test run?". Before Jonathan could say anything, the Duke pulled out a match, struck it and was going to put it on the fuse when the captain put a hand on his arm to stop him.
Jonathan stated, "Sir, it might not be wise at this time since we are still in Arendelle waters. If we fired…". He was no fool. The repercussions of doing such an action on an ally's soil, especially when said ally's alliance was fragile at best, would not benefit Weselton at all.
The Duke harshly shook the captain's hand off his arm and declared, "Oh, pish posh! It's only some friendly fire! And we're not even pointing at Arendelle! Now, let me…". His words died in his throat when he heard a sizzling sound behind him, and turned to see that the lit match had touched the fuse and was now active! The main problem was that this particular cannon's fuse was short because they had run out of the material, and thus were going to leave it be until they could more of it. Also, all of the cannons had been at the ready in case of attack.
The worse part was that the Duke had been incorrect about the position of the ship. It had turned a little so they could have the right direction towards more open waters while they were talking. The cannon fired! The large round cannonball was now streaking towards Arendelle… towards the bridge that connected the village to the castle!
Elsa, Anna, Regina, Alice and Olaf were walking back on the walkway that connected to the castle. They were coming back from the town as they had done some window shopping, and checking out some of the sights for the last time before Regina and Alice went back to their vacation trek. They were heading back to the castle to see if they could get a carriage and some horses so they could go to another part of the forest around the area. The four were talking, with Olaf just listening and enjoying the conversation, when they heard a loud explosion! Anna stated, "What was that?!".
Alice answered, "It sounded like… cannon fire…". The girls and snowman turned around to see that coming their way was a large cannonball, streaking right towards them! The people on the path fled from the incoming projectile, and that is when Elsa took action!
The Snow Queen summoned up her icy gift, and shot from her hand a powerful blast of frozen water at the cannonball! The beam of ice hit the target dead on, but it seemed that it only slowed it down slightly. This particular round of cannonballs were made a special material that was resistant to extreme temperatures, but most did not know this due to that the material was more resilient then normal cannonballs. When she saw that her sister's ice powers were not stopping the metal sphere down, Anna did the only thing she could think of. She exclaimed loudly, "GODZILLA!".
All things seemed to be in slow motion at this point in time. Because she saw that her ice attack was not working, Elsa erected up an icy shield to protect her sister and friends. The cannonball was about to strike the bridge… when an enormous object just leapt out of the water and blocked the incoming projectile! A loud roar was heard, and explosion followed! Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Regina and Alice had their eyes closed, wondering on what happened. Time seemed to return back to normal speed, and everyone that was witness to it now saw something that just cracked their minds down. Even the Duke and the crew on the ship he was on had their eyes wide, and their jaws hanging out in shock on what just happened.
The four females, and magical snowman, felt something looming over them, and when they opened their eyes, saw that a massive green bulk was covering them like a tent. Alice smiled and said, "Oh Godzilla… you protected us!". The relief she and the others were feeling was apparent, and slowly Godzilla rose from over them to stand tall once again. The saurian's back was bruised and burnt a little by the cannon fire, but it would heal after a few hours' sleep. The King of the Monsters roared out loudly, showing that he did not succumb to the attack on his being.
While the girls and Olaf rose from their hunched over position, they saw that the citizens and soldiers who were nearby, including Captain Rissing, were just staring in shock on what had just occurred… and who it was that showed up. Regina said quietly, "This… is going to be difficult to explain.".
She had no idea how right she was!
(Author's Notes: Going to stop right here. The chapters I am making involve some flashbacks on what has happened to each of the parties, so it's going to be some time until things get moving officially. And when it does, it's going to be furious and fun for all to read and see!
So, what do you think on what has happened ever since the battles of the monsters? I really want to build character and depth here, with every single important main character as best I can. I want my creations to have more depth, more feel then just mere action and such. Like Disney and Toho, I want to make each scene have real depth and substance here.
Now for the questions: After hearing Regina's story about Godzilla and the monster's first visit to this world, what would you be thinking? Do you think Melody and Oliver would introduce Godzilla to their little ones if they had the chance? What would you buy in Arendelle to commemorate your visit and stay there? And finally, what would your reaction be upon seeing Godzilla leaping out and protecting the ladies from the cannonball fire?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!)
