By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! Thank you once again for the praise and the reviews! It really has warmed my heart on how much you all like my novel trilogy. And to each and every single of one you, I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart and soul for all of our reviews, praise and also constructive thoughts/ideas that have really helped me out.
But before anything else occurs, really want to thank God and Jesus for helping me out once more! Thank you Lord for the gift of imagination you gave to me, and I do hope to put your gift to full use for all time! Praise and glory belong to you God!
In this next chapter, see how the Disney girls take to Miki's little stint with Super MechaGodzilla-2 that cost both Rodan and Godzilla's lives. Believe me, you will be surprised on what occurs here! Also, see the operation start when Elsa and Super X-III take to the skies to cool off Burning Godzilla! I really hope this chapters surprises you all in a good way! Drama, suspense, and surprise all around in a way that leaves you all at the edge of your seat! Expect reactions from both the Disney and Toho characters in a major way!
Also, just want to ask one thing before I really start this chapter. Do any of you know how my novels can get recognized at all by sites like TVTropes? And also, do any of you wish to do a YouTube video review on any of my three novels? If you need pictures, e-mail me and I will send them to you so they can be used. E-mail is located in my profile here.
For this chapter, I really would like to dedicate it to the ones who taught me about forgiveness. To my parents, and also to the pastors that have been a big influence in my life. Right now, it's my pastor Rock Godwin at Summit Christian Center who once taught on what forgiveness really is. And it's the theme here for this chapter. So to my parents and Rick Godwin, but mostly to God, this one is for you!
I do not own Godzilla or any of the monsters or characters that officially belong to Toho, nor any of the places or characters that rightfully belongs to Disney. I do own my OC creations, and most of the songs used here so far. If I use a song that is by an artist/artists, I will give him/her/them their proper dues and credits, as it is their right.
Now, on with the novel!)
Chapter 17
It was now 7:00 a.m. in the morning, the sun already up and bathing the Land of the Rising Sun with its warm and gentle rays. While most people in the city of Tokyo were eager to start the day, there was an air of seriousness in the suite rooms at Golden Dragon/Red Phoenix hotel. The visitors from another universe were already up, cleaned and dressed to take on the day as they ate breakfast. The Disney ladies were waiting for Rapunzel and Anna to finish in the shower, the rest waiting in Room #921 as they ate the food that Cinderella prepared. This gathering was unusual, as instead of having an air of optimism all around, the ladies were serious and silent as they ate. Ariel looked up from her plate of scrambled eggs that she had been eating and asked, "So… are well still in agreement on what must be done concerning Miki?".
The royal and magical beings nodded, Regina and Alice doing the same as they stopped eating momentarily to give a nod. The women had a long discussion last night after reading about Project G-Crusher and Miki Saegusa's involvement in it. And they decided that before Elsa goes on the mission with Super X-III today to try and cool down Burning Godzilla, they would confront the psychic and listen to her side of the story concerning the project that almost ended Godzilla… and killed Fire Rodan.
Melody drank a bit of her orange juice and stated, "I wonder how the others back home are taking the news? I bet that Aurora, Dianne and Edgard are not too thrilled about learning Miki's involvement with the project.". The young queen and the other ladies were well-aware that they were being watched by their friends and family back in their own universe, and thus were wondering what they & the citizens had acted upon learning about G-Force's project.
Tracy replied, "There's no way to tell for sure until we get back home. But for now, let's focus on the here and now. We'll wonder what is going on back home later, after things are said and done here.". The daughter of Cinderella was really focused right now, and didn't want to get distracted at the moment. The ladies agreed with her, and went back to eating their food. Soon, Rapunzel and Anna joined them as they were cleaned up and dressed for today's events.
As the two went over to the table to get their food, Anna saw that her sister was wearing her icy-blue dress. It was her favorite, almost signature kind of clothing that she wore on special occasions back home. The co-ruler of Arendelle inquired, "Elsa, why are you wearing that particular dress?".
The Snow Queen answered with a bit of a long look on her face, "I felt that it was necessary to dress like this for the mission. You remember back home when Godzilla was with us, he saw me many times in this dress? I feel that if I dress like this, he might trust me more and that… will give us time for what I need to do.". Elsa did not like having to do something that she felt was a bit underhanded in order to gain the King of the Monster's trust like this, but her rational side told her that there was little choice in the matter.
Indeed, the Disney ladies were now showing that they were feeling a bit down as they started to think that Godzilla would think that he was betrayed by them. Lady Beneditka shook her head slight to get rid of the negative, heavy doubts that were starting to bear down on her mind and conscious. She looked to the clock and saw that it was 7:20 a.m. She stated, "Come, we have little time left until Miki and her associate come to pick us up. Let's finish up our food and drink, then go and help our saurian friend.".
The women looked to her, and soon realized what their Mountain troll friend was trying to do. Right now, doubts and heavy thoughts of the negative kind were not needed at the moment. Lady Beneditka was trying to show them to not think that doing this act was betraying their friend, but helping him in many ways & for the long run. Small, but grateful smiles were directed to the formidable warrior-matriarch of the North Mountain tribe as they all started to finish their meals and drinks with a bit more of optimistic determination in their actions.
When they were all done, Cateline putting the dishes into the washer with a wave of her magic wand, they headed out the door and to the elevators.
~In the Disney realm~
While the company in the Toho realm were going down the elevators to the lobby to wait for Miki to pick them up, the citizens of the various kingdoms in the Disney realm that had witnessed their queens and friends pouring over the documents of Super MechaGodzilla-2 and Project G-Crusher were looking on with much vested interested. Due to the time difference again, a few days had passed since Melody and company went over the documents. Many men, women and children were very much hostile now towards Miki as they felt that her participation in such an act against Godzilla and Rodan was an act of betrayal. Once the word spread out to those that did not witness the event, a majority of the people in all of the kingdoms that were watching now were now hoping that Miki be punished for her actions.
The only ones that were indifferent to all of this were the royal families that were all watching in the Marcel-Oxen kingdom. While the common folk were simmering in anger over Miss Saegusa's actions, former King Eric and the others were watching with indifference on their faces. The citizens of Sennen were baffled on how the royal family members were still as stone upon hearing of Miki's actions. A woodcarver had asked former Queen Aurora and her children, King Edgard Valentin and Queen Dianne on how they could so stone-like, why they were not enraged with the psychic's part in destroying their bonded monster Rodan.
Queen Aurora stated in a patient but firm tone, "We do not know why she did what she did, good sir. Once the ladies in Godzilla's universe find out truthfully and completely on her actions, then a decision will be made.".
King Edgard added, "Sir, we have learned that hasty, unnecessary emotional actions are often a bad idea. We want to hear her side before doing anything.".
Queen Dianne finished, "However, do not understand our indifference is not that we do not care at all. All three of us… we are very sad that Rodan had passed, and very much upset at Miki that she chose to keep this particular information from Melody and the others! But to act or feel hate like that towards someone… no. That is something we DO NOT believe in like that. So, we are waiting to see on what occurs next.". The woodcarver, and others who had heard the three royal beings, were very much impressed and awed on how much self-control and wisdom that they possessed.
The other royal members that held Godzilla and the monsters who had saved their kingdoms in high regard were also in the same boat as Aurora and her offspring. They were controlling themselves, to wait until all was revealed before making any kind of hasty judgements. These members had ruled their realms for quite some time, and had learned very much that hasty, negative emotional actions that were not backed by a tempered, compassioned & well-honed mind and heart were not good qualities of a leader/ruler. So they were now all waiting to see on what would come next in the Toho realm.
~In the Heavens~
The mortals were not the only ones that were viewing what was taking place in Godzilla's universe. Hercules, Megera, and the other various mythological beings had been very interested in what had been occurring in the Toho mortal realm. Hercules had been impressed with Godzilla's bonded going all the way to one of the Japanese islands in order to try and calm him down. Herc's better half Meg has really given credit to Rapunzel and the others for taking a large risk when going to see Godzilla Junior. The Muses of Greek mythology were also very much glad to hear the Disney women sing at the karaoke bar, glad that despite their age, they still had excellent sets of pipes. Also that their choice in songs was also good. Now, all were watching as Melody and the others were now being greeted by Miki and Nobuko, Tadao seemingly absent now.
Hercules commented, "I really hope that the ladies can forgive Miki for what she did, according to those papers that they read.".
Athena, one of Hercules's relatives, stood by the hero and his wife. She stated, "I believe that they shall make the right choice when the time comes for the young woman to explain herself, hero.". The small owl that was always on her shoulder hooted, showing that he was agreeing with his master.
However, the one that really spoiled the mood was Hades the Greek Lord of the Dead. The hothead of the Underworld cackled and remarked, "Hahaha! Oooh, this is going to be good! I bet that those sizzling little ladies will really let that Miki girl have it! Oh, I wonder if there is going to be a catfight! Hey, I can sell tickets and give the deities and poor soul-suckers back home something to see!". The others were not amused by Hades' words, not just Greek deities but the Chinese, Native American, Japanese and a whole lot more divine beings were pleased by the flame-heads words and actions.
Just then, a being came through in a small walk that caused the other gods and goddesses to bow their heads and part for him. Hades was still in his little dancing jive, when he felt the flames on the back of his neck shiver. He turned around slowly to see to one person that had not just defeated him, but any and all forms of Death from the various cultural, diverse beings worldwide. His red-orange hair shrank back to blue color, walking back as the being walked past him. He gulped before asking in a bit of a subdued tone, "So, your Highness… what do you think will happen down there? Think that the ladies will rip Miki to shreds?".
The being that had caused all to pause and give him room to walk was Jesus Christ, and hovering above the other deities was God Himself. The King of Kings gave Hades a firm look, the Lord of the Dead flinching from seeing his face. Jesus answered, "My Father has given them free will, so Melody and the others are free to make their choice regarding Miki. I believe they will make the right one.". His answers were always simple, to the point and very much true.
The angels, various deities, and others that earned the right to be in the Heavens looked down at the mortal realm to see what choice the Disney girls were going to make with Miki Saegusa.
~Back in the Toho universe~
Miki felt that something was wrong the moment she stepped into the lobby to get her friends for the big day that was here. She felt that they were tense, upset for some reason but even her potent psychic abilities could not discern on what it was. She managed to set aside the uneasy feeling at the moment, telling Melody and company that Tadao was at G-Force right now and thus Nobuko had come in his place. Normally, the ladies would warmly welcome Miki's friend as she was a much better choice than the Shoichi character that had been with them for some time. However, even the perky young woman sensed that something amiss as the Disney girls were more formal and a bit stiff which was so unlike how they were in the past.
The limo ride was also awkward, Miki and Nobuko trying to bring up some light conversation but their companions just simply nodded their heads or did nothing at all. Even the pixies and mice, the usually energetic of the bunch, seemed to be focused intensely on something that really bothered them.
When they arrived at the entrance to G-Force, the limo being taken to one of the garages for later use, the group walked in and started for the Command Center. However, Elsa acted as she took Miki's arm. It was not forceful or hurtful, but the sudden change in demeanor and action caught the Japanese girls a bit off guard. The Snow Queen whispered, "In here, please.". She took Miki, Nobuko coming along, with the others as they went into an empty room that was nearby. Once they were inside, Tink and Rosetta closed the door and turned the lock. Cateline closed the blinds with her magic, and soon everyone in front of the two members of G-Force.
Nobuko asked in a slightly nervous tone, "Girls, what is going on? Why are you doing this?". Even Miki was starting to feel really unsettled her, her heart and spirit feeling that something was about to go down in a big way.
Melody started things off, sighing a bit as she mentally prepared herself for what was to come. She answered, "Miki… listen. We did some exploring of our own yesterday while you, Rapunzel and the fairies were with Godzilla Junior. And when we found it, we waited until you and the others came back from Infant Island to discuss what we found.".
The psychic felt her heart expand to fill her chest, her blood pumping as her mind was racing along with it. She asked softly, "W-What are you talking about? What did you find?".
Alice replied, "We found a document that contained the REAL reason for MechaGodzilla-2. Or should we say… Super MechaGodzilla-2, and Project G-Crusher.". Miss Saegusa and Nobuko's eyes widened as the Disney ladies had discovered the truth and link between her and the mechanical double of Godzilla!
Regina continued, "We found pictures of MechaGodzilla-2, the before and after ones. We also found that it was you to aided G-Force in their little project, helping to locate a second brain that was in Godzilla… and fire something deadly into it that would cripple, no… seriously kill him.".
Zarina flew up close to the faces of the two stunned Japanese women and stated, "We also found out that this flying machine GARUDA was also responsible for creating Super MechaGodzilla-2, and that it was the same system and machines that brought Rodan down!". The pixies were looking cross at the two women, just like the others, but Vidia and Fawn were more so since they were having a bit of a time keeping their natural emotions in check.
Ariel walked towards Miki, standing directly in front of the Japanese woman. Not close to invade personal space, but close so that the psychic could see clearly in her eyes. The former mermaid asked, "We just want to know… why did you help them against Godzilla and Rodan, when you have shown to be very compassionate and understanding towards the kaiju? What happened?".
Miki was feeling like a great weight was pressed on her being, and not the physical kind. She had been hoping all this time that this kind of situation would not occur, but it seemed that her hope was in vain. She was in a room with formidable people that were bonded with the monsters on a level that not even she could fathom, and now they found out her shame. She sighed, knowing that any kind of lie here or fib would be completely useless, so she opted to tell her companions the complete and entire truth. She sat down in a chair, preparing herself to tell her side of the story.
She started out, "It all started when we visited Adona Island in the Bering Sea, that was the home of Rodan as he had hatched there. Myself and other scientists discovered an egg there that we thought was laid by a pteranodon, which is what Rodan was. We brought it back with us here to the mainland to study it in Kyoto, but we had no idea that it would turn out to be a Godzillasaurus egg! All of us were surprised when Baby hatched, myself and another named Azsua Gojo being imprinted by him. Some of our colleagues said it would be good for us to learn about him since he was related to Godzilla.". The others listened intently, the ones in the Heavens & in the Disney realm also doing the same.
Miki continued, "Me and Baby bonded together, like a parent would a child, as we studied him. That is when G-Force learned of our research, and discovered the second brain. That is when they formed Project G-Crusher. The force came to me first, asking if I would cooperate with them in locating Godzilla's second brain with my psychic powers. The system that they developed needed to be operated by someone that could locate the organ. I refused to do it, not wanting any part in something that would harm Godzilla. But they strong-armed me when they stated that they would use one of my students as the operator. You have to understand, back then my students were also those of psychic power, and none of them would be able to handle using their minds against a force like Godzilla. They would have been driven insane, or worse! So… I agreed to operate the system so I could spare the young ones from doing something that would have ended them.".
Now it started to make sense to the ladies, and the others listening back in the other realms. Miki had done what she did in order to prevent her students from meeting a cruel fate, even though she did not want to have any part in anything that would harm the King of the Monsters. The women sensed that this was the complete truth that Miss Saegusa was telling them, but they kept their poker faces on.
Miki resumed, "While I did operate the system, I was hesitant to use it on Godzilla until I was ordered to do it. And when it did work, Fire Rodan came out to reclaim Baby whom he saw as a brother. When Super MechaGodzilla-2 mortally wounded him, he… he felt that Godzilla was the only one that could take care of Baby properly, so… so he gave up the last of his life and energy to Godzilla so he could be restore his energy. And in the process, he restored the second brain! While I observed it, I got a mental backlash from the energy that was used to restore it. It was a bit of a blow to my psychic abilities.".
The Disney girls knew all on what Miki just stated, having read the documents completely. After hearing it from the woman herself, they seemed to accept it more. Reading from a piece of paper, and hearing it from the person themselves was a big difference. Fawn asked, "Miki… why didn't you tell us about this before? Why hide this from us?". Now that was the main question on all of the female's minds, including the ones back in the Disney universe.
The psychic looked down for a moment, wondering if they would even accept her after all of this. She sighed softly and answered, "I was ordered by my superiors, both at G-Force and by the various leaders in the country. They felt that they needed to gain your trust, especially after meeting me. So they hid the complete, full reports of MechaGodzilla-2 and Project G-Crusher while giving out an edited version that did not show me entirely as they one who was part of Godzilla and Rodan's demise.".
Miki stood up from the chair, looking at Ariel straight in the eyes. She asked in a bit of subdued tone, like a child would his/her mother after being disciplined for doing something very naughty. She asked, "Do… Do you forgive me? Both for what I did, and also keeping this from all of you?".
This was the moment of truth!
Ariel looked into the eyes of Miss Saegusa, looking with her heart to see if she was sincere. While many would insist that it was another form of psychic power, it was not. It was simply listening with the heart, and also making sure said heart was tempered and strong along with the mind. The former mermaid kept her gaze on the woman for several seconds, before smiling softly and embracing Miki, who was shocked by this action. Ariel stated, "We forgive you, Miki. We forgive you.".
The various Disney beings also sported soft, understanding smiles. Well, Vidia had a little scowl on her face, believing that Miki deserved to be punished a little for deceiving them and also putting Godzilla's son in harm's way. But her heart told her it was mostly due to the actions of the ones in charge, so the Fast Flying-talented pixie just decided to show her usual neutral expression though she too also forgave Miki.
Cinderella spoke, "We all talked it last night, and decided to hear your side of the story first before acting. And now that we have, we all have decided to forgive you.".
Elsa spoke, "What is past is past, there is nothing we can say or do to change it. So holding onto anger for something that occurred long ago is unnecessary.".
And it was Alice who finished it, "We do forgive you for what you were forced to do by your leaders, Miki. We forgive you on what you did to Godzilla, but for Rodan… that is something that his bonded need to give to you, not us. So, we can only hope that they forgive you in our realm.". The royal beauties, plus Regina and Alice, had been taught at very young ages on how to forgive, move on and get better by both their parents and/or the adventures they had throughout life. Their hearts, minds and spirits forged like well-honed weapons to show wisdom, kindness, conviction, mercy and most importantly, love.
Miki was very relieved to hear this, feeling like a heavy weight was finally off of her being! She had feared that they would be very angry, and do something drastic like yell, scream, make threats, even cut off their friendship with her, and more! But now, those things were washed away by the soothing and powerful waves of forgiveness. The psychic beauty had a couple of tears slip from her eyes, returning the embrace and whispering, "Thank you… thank you very much…". Nobuko was very glad and relieved for her friend, thankful that all of this ended on a good note.
Melody put in, "You are welcome, Miki. But know this; forgiveness is truly a powerful and important action. Not to take lightly, or give lightly, at all. So please, will you do your best to ensure Godzilla's well-being? And the other kaiju as well?". The daughter of Ariel and Eric was pointing out that while they did forgive the Japanese woman, it was a blessing to not take for granted or abuse it in any way. Miki replied that she would do her best, though it would be difficult considering the sheer amount of people around the world that wanted to see the titans exterminated.
Tinkerbell stated, "Just do your best, that's all we can expect.". Miki smiled, nodding her head showing that she would do just that.
Anna spoke up, "Well, this settles that! Now come on, let's go to the Command Center and do what we need to do in order to save our burning friend!". The ladies, pixies, female Mountain troll, mice and fairy godmother all nodded their heads. Nobuko turned and unlocked the door, the company walking towards the Command Center with their heads held high, spirits strong, and also their hearts being filled with strength like never before!
~Back in the Disney universe~
The actions of Melody and company were received favorably with most of the citizens that had watched what occurred. Although some still felt ill-will towards Miki, and stated that she got off too easy, that was a very small minority. The vast majority was very impressed with the ladies' capacity to forgive and learn while moving forward, and also very much proud of the group. None were more proud then the husbands of the women that were in Godzilla's world, King Oliver/Olujimi among them as the royals that once showed indifference had proud, warm smiles on their faces. Even the children had smiles on their faces as they were proud of their mothers, more so then usual.
Mama Odie shouted loudly in delight and exclaimed, "WHOO BOY! Lord Almighty, them kids there show they got some strength in them! And I ain't talking about their physical muscle!".
However, something needed to be addressed here. Genie saw Aurora, Edgard and Dianne nearby and the trio seemed to be in thought as their eyes were closed. The cool blue dude flew to the bonded of Rodan and asked, "Hey, you three feeling okay? What do you think? And… do you forgive Miki like the others did?".
The former queen let out a small sigh, opening her eyes and turning her gaze to her magical friend. She answered, "I do… Miki was being forced, her powers used in a way she did not want to do. Also, she knew that she had a duty to the people of Japan first, and I don't blame here for that.".
Dianne added in, "Also, Rodan went out in protecting his brother Baby Godzilla by giving his father the last of his energy. I can really respect that, and also couldn't be more proud of him.".
Edgard finished up, "Me too! Even though she can't hear us, hope Miki understands that we do forgive her.". Genie had watery eyes and a big smile on his face before he grabbed the trio in a big hug, one that slightly exceeded the time he hugged Aladdin and the others after he had been set free from the magic lamp years ago.
He squeezed them tight, but not too hard as he exclaimed, "Mama Odie be right about all of you royal folks! You much stronger than some give you credit for, and we ain't talking about the physical kind". Aurora and her children simply smiled and laughed as they hugged their crazy, funny blue friend. It seemed that some things concerning Miki, Godzilla, his son and Rodan were finally laid to rest!
One of the citizens called out, "Shhh! Look! They're at the Command Center now!". Genie put down the royal family and all locked their eyes on either the Magic Mirror or the large viewing screen beside it.
~In Heaven~
Just like the ones in the Disney mortal realm, the higher ups were also very glad to see that the women had forgiven Miki and were giving her another chance. Hercules, Meg and a host of other heroes, heroines, and angels were cheering loudly that Ariel and the others had conquered whatever negative feelings that might have been in them, and chose the good path. Hades and those like him were grumbling and groaning, the deities and spirits very much hoping to see some violence, blood and profanity. Of course, Hades' blue flame was blown out by his brother Poseidon, the Water Greek god laughing as his dark sibling checked his now bald head.
Jesus was still looking down, but a small smile was on his face. He felt like a proud parent who had witnessed his children doing the right thing, His Father hovering behind him as he watched. The King of Kings spoke softly, "They have conquered one great obstacle. But another stands before them in the future. One that is truly Death incarnate.".
~At the Toho universe~
Indeed, the group was now once again back at the Command Center where waiting for them was General Isao, Kenichi and Tadao. The young Yamane lad looked to be a bit worse for wear, as if he had not gotten much sleep. Tadao, however, was looking a bit more awake then he was yesterday. It seemed that his report and recording to Momoko, his real boss, had greatly pleased her and thus he was welcomed with an actual goodnight's sleep for a change. The elderly general saw the ladies come in and inquired, "Ah, there you are. I was wondering on where you were. Where were you all?".
Regina answered in a firm tone, "We were having a bit of a private conversation with Miki, sir. That is all we will tell you.". One had to give the young lady credit for standing up to a military leader like that. Isao wanted to retort very badly towards the Spanish-born beauty, but held his tongue for the moment for there were bigger fish to fry.
He stood up and stated, "Okay everyone, here is the day that we have been preparing for. Super X-III is all fueled up, freezing weapons all checked out and the cadmium missiles are loaded to deliver an icy blast instead of the usual heat explosive missiles. We have managed to locate Burning Godzilla in the Pacific Ocean, the heat he is generating now raising the sea water's temperature by several degrees above normal. Once we locate him, we will start to hit him with everything we got.".
Tracy frowned with the others, not liking on how the military leader described the plan. She took a step or two in the direction of the general and inquired firmly, "Sir, are you sure that your… Super X-III is set with weapons that will freeze Godzilla instead of exploding, like you stated? And what will happen if any of your weapons misfire?". The general did not like that someone was questioning his plan, especially one that came from another universe. He was about to retort when Kenichi stepped in, feeling that a third party was needed right now.
The Yamane lad answered, "Your Highness Tracy, we have taken any and all steps to ensure that the weapons that are on the Super X-III are not of the fiery, explosive kind. The missiles and maser-rays on the craft are strictly for the freezing kind, for if any kind of explosives were set off on Godzilla's body… it might trigger the explosion that he will undergo, and that will be the complete end of all life here on Earth. We are taking no chances here, your Highness.".
General Isao stated, "He is right, young lady. Yamane-san has briefed me and everyone in the higher levels that any kind of the conventional explosive weapons will most likely doom us all, so we are relying on the freezing weapons… and Elsa-san to do the job and cool down the saurian.". If there was one thing about the military man, is that he took both honor and the lives of the people of Japan very seriously. Earlier on, he had briefed the four pilots that were going to operate Super X-III that they had the duty of protecting Japan by using the freezing weapons and Elsa's magical freezing ability against Godzilla.
That no sort of revenge vendettas was allowed, and that they obey the general's words to the letter.
The Ice Queen spoke, "While I applaud your… confidence in my abilities sir, there is something I need to say. A small change in your plans.". The military man narrowed his eyes slightly at the woman while everyone looked towards her.
Elsa stated, "While we will meet with Godzilla, I want to be the first to engage him. BUT it will not be to fight him, but to merely reassure him that what I am about to do to him is for his own good. I will start to cool him down, and show him that he can still trust me. When the time is right, your aircraft comes in and delivers the final freezing blow that he will be completely frozen.".
Anna quickly stated, "Let us make one thing perfectly CLEAR, General Isao. We don't like to use this kind of trickery on a friend, especially one who has saved our world twice. Although we do it to save both Godzilla and the lives here on this planet, we want to do this our way so that he still trusts us. Understand?". The ladies, plus Nobuko and Miki, stood by the co-ruler of Arendelle. Their will and conviction here was similar to Godzilla's, very tough and resilient. The elderly Japanese military man scowled slightly on how the gaijins were acting, but realized that he had little choice in the matter. While the troops insides the complex were quick with their weapons, they had no idea what kind of magic that the ladies wielded or used, and thus did not want to take any chances.
He replied tightly, "I understand, Anna-san. Now… if you are all ready. Miki and Nobuko, please escort Elsa towards the hanger where Super X-III is at. She will board it, and they will go towards the spot where Godzilla is at.".
Miss Saegusa and her friend nodded, but they allowed Elsa to give her companions hugs and also words of encouragement. Anna and the others wished the Snow Queen good luck, and that both her and Godzilla would be okay. After saying farewell to her sister and friends, Elsa followed Miki and Nobuko towards the hanger that Super X-III was at.
General Isao picked up a headset and spoke into the microphone, "Attention all pilots of Super X-III, the final addition to the crew is on her way. Captain Chris Anderson, you are in charge of the operation from here on out. Please report back anything that seems amiss or needs to be addressed. Good luck everyone.".
At the hanger, the one piloting and being in charge of the formidable aircraft was Capt. Chris Anderson. He was an American pilot that had transferred over to Japan, specifically to G-Force due to his skills as a top-notch pilot. It was not only his flying capabilities that were amazing, but also his duty and commitment to seeing a mission through to the end. While normally light-hearted and good company to have around, once a mission was in place, he was all serious and did his best to make sure not only was the mission successful, but that those under his command came back in one piece.
He looked to his assigned team members and commanded, "Okay everyone, sound off to report you are here!". Three Japanese men sounded off one by one; Katashi Kazuo in charge of computer systems, Marsaru Michi in charge of weapons, and finally Saburo Hisoka in charge of communications.
Chris stated loudly and firmly, "Listen up, everyone! We are here to ensure that Godzilla is frozen solid, no more and no less! Another will be joining us soon, the woman known as Queen Elsa who is from another universe, so I am told. She has freezing capabilities that will help us put the lizard on ice. But let me make one thing perfectly clear, gentlemen! We are going to simply freeze Godzilla, no rounds or live ammunition that uses incendiary explosive heads will be used. And finally, there will be NO revenge vendettas here! I know each of you wish to end the King of the Monsters, but that will not begin here! We wait until we get the orders from above to get a crack at him when he is back to normal. Any objections?".
All of them sounded off, "Sir, no sir!". Once Chris was satisfied, he ordered all of them board the craft and strap themselves in for the trip. One by one, the pilots entered Super X-III and got into their assigned seat areas.
What Capt. Anderson did not realize was that one truly had a vendetta against Godzilla, a serious score to settle with the saurian. That person was Saburo, and it was due to something that happened some time ago. When Godzilla had rampaged through Tokyo during the betrayal of the Futurians, his brother that was stationed since he worked as a news journalist was killed during the fight when Mecha-King Ghidorah appeared to challenge him. Saburo took family very seriously, and learning that it was the saurian that was responsible for his brother's demise created a vow of vengeance against the monster.
That was why late in the night, he managed to convince one of the mechanics and weapon handlers to install a single solitary missile that was conventional. In short, it was one that used explosive ammo instead of the freezing kind that was reserved for the Super X-III. The mechanical engineer stated that it would only fire from his console control, and the weapon specialist told him that even though it was against regulations… he would like nothing better than to see the green-skinned kaiju blow up in a fiery blast.
So it was Saburo that was defying the orders of his commanders just to satisfy revenge! But what they didn't know is that a certain someone saw the meeting and overheard everything. And that person was Arisu Chinatsu! The one that Rapunzel healed some time ago! And said person was at the Command Center now, to see the action that would unfold.
Chris and his unit were in their seats and doing their usual pre-flight check to see if all was truly working well. Once it was shown that they had the green lights all around, they simply waited for their final addition to come on board. The young American pilot looked out the window and saw Miki and Nobuko escorting Elsa to the hanger. The man nodded his head, a small smirk on his face. He said to himself, "Now that is one fine beauty. I do envy the lucky S.O.B. that is married to that beautiful woman.".
Miki wished Elsa good luck once again, and to be careful on this mission. The Snow Queen stated, "Thanks Miki, and I will be fine. And hopefully, so will Godzilla.". The co-ruler of Arendelle soon walked away from her companions, towards Super X-III where the hatch opened up and she walked in.
Once inside the craft, she made her way to the cockpit where the others were sitting at. Chris looked behind him and said, "Welcome aboard, your Highness! Find a seat and strap in tight, we're going to go pretty fast to get to where Godzilla is.". Elsa found a seat behind and beside Katashi, buckling up and ready for the mission to start. Once the mechanical marvel was over the ocean and away from prying eyes, she would get out of the craft and fly out using her own power to follow them towards her bonded.
At the Command Center, all were watching on the large screen as the Super X-III roared to life! The metal marvel slowly ascended upwards to get out from the hanger, and then once it was in open air, it zoomed eastwards towards the Pacific Ocean! Melody and the others offered a silent prayer to the Higher One above that Elsa be kept safe, and also that their mission would end on a good note.
~At the aquarium~
While the heroes and heroines were doing their own mission that involved Godzilla, another kind was being performed at the aquarium that was near the institute. The security guard that worked the night shift there had witnessed something horrible and gruesome, and was now talking with police and also scientists. Among them was Dr. Kensaku Ijuin. One of the officers asked, "Okay buddy, let's start this from the top. Now, what exactly did you see last night in one of the aquarium tanks?".
The guard answered, "I was doing my rounds in one of the exhibits, and then I heard some strange noise. Crackling sounds, like the thing electricity makes. I followed it to one of the small tanks that was nearby, and then flashes of light! Next thing I saw, it was fishes being dissolved by something I couldn't see! It was the most disturbing thing I will ever see… and by the time you got here, scores of fish bones littered the smaller tanks!". He gestured to the tanks behind him, and indeed plenty of fish bones decorated the multiple smaller tanks. In fact, some flesh was still on the bones and it looked like the fish was literally dissolved with something that did not affect the water itself.
Kensaku looked at the fish bones, very much puzzled and in awe on what could have done this gruesome action to the aquatic life forms. He checked the water with his naked eye closely, but saw nothing unusual within the tanks. He looked up and saw some security cameras up on the ceiling, aimed the perfect angle towards the tanks. He looked to the officer that was handling the case and inquired, "Excuse me sir, but do you think I can take a look at the security tape up there? I think it might hold the answer to whatever did this to the fishes.".
The officer answered, "Sure professor, but be sure to bring it back undamaged and not tampered with too much. It is evidence, but you seem to have a better grasp of the situation then I do.". Ijuin-san bowed in thanks to the officer before the guard lead him to Security Room where the tapes and other surveillance equipment were at.
Kensaku thought, 'I have a bad feeling that whatever killed those fish is very dangerous to every living thing. I need to analyze the tapes back at the lab to see what we are dealing with her.'.
Little did the professor know was that the tiny killers were soon going to be a BIG problem!
~Over the Pacific Ocean~
It was now 9:10 a.m., a little over an hour after Super X-III left the country of Japan. It would be another hour until they would arrive at the spot where Godzilla would be at. Elsa had been waiting patiently in her seat, looking around at the high-tech stuff that surrounded her. While she was impressed with the technology, she was more focused on the task at hand. Capt. Anderson said to her, "Miss Elsa, we should be clear of any kind of eyes to watch us. So you can get ready to get out and fly on your own if you want.". The young American had been briefed on the slight change of plans, and approved of it.
The Snow Queen smiled slightly and answered, "Thank you, sir. I think I will do that now, since I do feel a little bit restricted in here.". She undid her seat belt, rising up to stretch her body and work the kinks out of it. As she was stretching, she noticed the eyes that belonged to Saburo Hisoka were on her. She paused a bit in her stretching and asked if something was wrong.
He looked directly into her eyes and asked bluntly, "Tell me miss… do you have family back in that other world of yours?".
Elsa's face morphed to show confusion on why the soldier would ask such a question. She answered, "I do, in fact sir. A wonderful husband and a little baby girl. Why do you ask?".
Saburo replied gruffly, "Then why are you here? Why risk your neck and life for a mindless beast like Godzilla? Why do you want to save him so badly, when chances are high that you'll get killed by it?!". He was remembering his brother, and how Godzilla took him from the world during his battle with Mecha-King Ghidorah.
The Ice Queen put up a firm mask of conviction and strength, one that surprised even the soldier. She replied firmly, "I am here to try and save a friend who has saved our world twice, and is very much dear to me. I love my family very much, and I know I will return to them. The risks are high, yes. But I will do what I can to both help Godzilla, and also return to my family in one piece. And before you ask anything else, know this. I have faith in both my abilities, and something far greater than myself or anything in this world, that I will both save Godzilla… and go back to my loved ones.".
Elsa knew of the risks involved to her health and well-being when it came to Godzilla, but she was prepared and was ready to do what she could to help the King of the Monsters out. And also to go back to her family no matter what! She had that much conviction, faith, strength and courage to make sure she saw it all through!
Chris and the others who were overhearing the little conversation all had smiles on their faces, proud ones like comrades would show to one another after a victorious battle. They were glad to see the royal woman have such strength and character, but it seemed this only brought a sour look to Hisoka's face.
Capt. Anderson called out, "Okay now, go the bay area in the back and I will open the hatch door for you! You can leave through there, ma'am!". Elsa thanked him with a slight bow, then gave the soldier Hisoka a firm look before exiting to the back. The middle-aged Japanese man just grumbled as he manned his station, some of his colleagues wondering on what was bugging him.
The hatch doors opened wide when Katashi pulled a switch down, the warning sounds in the plane blaring loudly. It lasted for only a few minutes until he pulled the lever, the doors closing and the sirens now off. The crew looked out the window to see Elsa flying through the air, her icy-blue dress fluttering in the breeze as she was using her ice gift to fly at their speed. Anderson gave a salute to her, while she waved back. The mechanical marvel and the icy beauty streaked fast towards their target, which was coming up soon.
Meanwhile, Burning Godzilla was moving towards Japan as he swam in the deep part of the Pacific Ocean. He would have stayed there in the cold waters more, but something was calling out to him. Even though his senses were wracked with intense pain from the heat and energy building up within him, his sixth sense was still working and sharp as ever. The saurian felt something enter into his territory, something that carried a power that he did not like at all. And when anything came into his home with that kind of ability, he would go to challenge it. He started to make his way back to Japan, when he felt something familiar coming his way. He noticed this particular vibe, and paused in his course towards human civilization. He turned slightly to his left, and saw two objects in the sky coming towards him fast.
Godzilla roared out as the steam around him continued to pour all around his body. He knew this particular vibration within his soul… it was one of his bonded, the one that could create cold and ice out of her own body! Godzilla knew it was Elsa coming towards him!
Said person let out a small gasp upon seeing the King of the Monsters, looking a bit more fierce and powerful as ever. Once she and Super X-III got closer to their target, she slowed down and stopped. The machine did the same, hovering near Elsa and awaiting orders. Chris called out through a speaker on the outside, "Okay Miss Elsa, you're up! We'll wait here until its time. Good luck!". She waved and nodded to them, then flew off towards the saurian. Already, she could feel the immense heat coming from her friend and it was starting to get to her. Luckily, the present that the Twin Fairies gave to her activated its latent power, thus shielding her from the heat and radiation.
Godzilla looked to see Elsa flying in front of him, turning his body to see the human and his dorsal-spiked back was now turned to Super X-III. He ignored the flying metal machine, favoring to see his ice-gifted bonded.
Elsa formed a thin, but strong icy sphere shield around her to protect her from the heat and radiation more. She called out once it was complete, "Godzilla! Hi… I see you're still in a bit of pain! Listen, I want to help you by using my ice power to cool you down! You're going to have to trust me, my friend! Will you let me cool you down so I can take away the pain?". She had to yell out as loud as she could so he could hear him. The saurian indeed heard his companion, and understood her thanks to the bond that was between them. He let out a roar that was very loud, and nodded his head towards Elsa.
The Snow Queen smiled slightly, then focused and concentrated her power as much as she could. Soon, a large gathering of icy energy appeared in her cupped hands and she made a mental command to shoot the energy at Godzilla in the form of an ice beam! The one witnessing the display of power, both in the Toho and Disney universe, were impressed by the large beam that streaked towards Godzilla. Once it hit the monster, he roared out in pain as intense heat and cold collided with his body! Elsa winced, but kept up the technique as she started to move the beam slightly up and down, showering the King of the Monsters with her ice gift. Godzilla forced his body to endure the sudden change from hot to cold, but gradually… slowly, his body was cooling down and he was actually starting to enjoy the technique that Elsa was doing on him.
Elsa whispered, "There you go… that's it… it's going to be okay now, Godzilla.". Slowly, ice started to cover Godzilla's body as he his heat and power were going down.
Back at G-Force Command Center, Kenichi called out, "Its working! According to the readings here, Godzilla's body temperature is gradually going down!". The Disney girls and Miki sighed in relief, glad that their friend was being cooled down by Elsa. Gen. Isao checked the readings, and indeed the monster's power and energy seemed to be dropping. However, it was too slow for his taste and he saw that Godzilla was distracted very much.
He spoke into his headset, "Captain Anderson, the plan is working and Godzilla is distracted! Fire at will now!". The others gasped at the actions of the military man, then looked to see the action that was occurring on the big screen before them.
Back at the Pacific Ocean, the commander of the mission heard the orders from his superiors. He looked to his comrades and ordered, "Okay, this is it! Target ONLY Godzilla and unleash everything we got at him! On my signal, fire!". He silently prayed that Elsa would forgive them for this. Super X-III systems were being calibrated and aimed at Godzilla thank to Katashi, and weapons all shown the green lights by Marsaru.
Chris called out, "Okay Super X-III… FIRE!".
The craft unleashed its cadmium missiles at Godzilla, striking him the back and causing the saurian to roar out in pain as he turned to face what was attacking him! The craft fired more missiles at him, intense cold striking the beast! Unlike the gentle, spraying cold that Elsa was giving him, this was sudden, sharp and painful. Godzilla roared in anger and fired his Finishing Breath at them! The metal craft was struck dead-on by the beam, but it deflected the attack thanks to its armor and structure.
Anderson and the others flinched slightly as the modified plane rocked slightly due to the sheer power from the beam. Katashi commented, "Did you see that? His beam has really gotten stronger!".
Saburo called out, "Everything seems to be reading okay! Let's continue!". Chris nodded, turning the craft and allowing Marsaru to fire more of the freezing missiles.
Elsa was horrified upon seeing Godzilla attacking Super X-III, the Ice Queen wondering why they had chosen to attack instead of waiting for a bit longer. Her friend was almost cold enough to freeze so that he wouldn't move too much or see what was attacking him. Feeling she had to do something fast, she resumed blasting Godzilla with her gift but more intensely now! She called out, "Godzilla, please forgive me for this!". The beam resumed, but it was wider and larger than last time. The projectile struck Godzilla at the shoulders, covering him in intense cold and ice!
The King of the Monsters roared in confusion and pain, and turned to see that his own bonded was attacking him! He let out a shriek of pain and anger, betrayal rising up in his brain. Elsa continued to keep on the attack, but she noticed that while roaring at her… he did not fire his heat breath at her. Super X-III continued the onslaught of missiles, raining down the ice projectiles. The Snow Queen had tears in her eyes, the liquid streaming down her face as she pushed herself to continue the attack. It really hurt her this much to do something like this to her friend, as she felt she truly did betray him.
Godzilla's body started to crackle and ice over, soon the ice covering him completely and his body motions halted. It was soon shown that he was a frozen ice statue, not moving at all. They had done it!
While the people of G-Force were celebrating, the Disney girls and those close to them such as Daimon and Joseph, who had come in earlier and witnessed the entire mission, did not look pleased due to General Isao's orders.
Chris Anderson stated, "Mission complete. Godzilla is frozen solid and… huh?". He checked his readings, and saw that a missile was being loaded to one of the silos. But this missile was different, as he saw the readouts that it was an incendiary one, the kind that used explosive rounds of the fiery kind. The projectile itself was longer and had a red nose instead of the usual wide, blue-tipped cadmium missiles.
General Isao inquired, "Captain, what is wrong? What is going on?".
The commander answered, "I think we may have a malfunction sir! Instruments show that a conventional missile is on board the Super X-III, and it's being loaded & locked onto Godzilla!". The military man was confused, as he strictly ordered that only cadmium missiles were to be installed on the craft.
"This is my doing sir…" a voice called out over the headset. It belonged to Saburo, and the team looked to see that the Japanese man was now using his control stick to lock onto Godzilla. The captain ordered him to tell on why he was defying the orders of his superior officer.
Gen. Isao added, "Soldier, what are you doing?! If you fire that missile at Godzilla, you could doom us all!".
The revenge-driven pilot answered, "No, I will save us sir! This is our chance! Godzilla is helpless, and also he is covered in ice! Surely this means he will not explode now! This is our chance to strike, to completely eliminate the monster from this world for good!".
Kenichi spoke over frantically on his end, "Don't do it! Even though his body is cooled down, it's too soon to do anything! If you fire now, you could actually cause the explosion that will end all life here on Earth!". It was true. The readings on the computer showed that while Godzilla's energy and heat were lowering down, it was still too soon to do any kind of action against him, and that a fiery blast could ignite the saurian and release the power that would cause the atmosphere to light up that would burn away all.
Saburo stated, "I don't care… I'm taking the chance! GOODBYE, GODZILLA!". He roared in anger, and before the others could stop him, he pulled the trigger and the conventional missile from the plane fired and streaked towards Godzilla!
All at G-Force held their breath, many of them wondering if this was the end for them. Godzilla saw the missile streaking towards him, but there was nothing he could do. His final thoughts was the betrayal of Elsa to him, and he was going to accept his death… with thoughts that truly no one cared for him. Lady Benedtika closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them wide and yelled out, "ELSA!".
The missile was close to its target… but it was quickly covered in frost, frozen down to the molecular level in seconds! The emissions from the projectile died, and it dropped into the water, completely harmless as the explosive rounds within it were also frozen completely over. The pilots inside Super X-III were a bit surprised to see the missile just drop into the water below, then saw frost covering up the windows and the outer-skin of the craft. The temperature inside the plane was also falling, and the men started to shiver since their suits provided little protection against extreme temperature.
Godzilla leaned down, his body weight toppling to his right side as he was going down into the sea. He was frozen over, but his eyes were open and still showed images. Before he lost consciousness and slipped into the ocean's depths, he saw his bonded Elsa in front of him, her ice power in a sphere around her and a missile dropping into the water. His thoughts were that she protected him, but… didn't she betray him? For the first time in his life, he was confused on events that were outside of battle, and he sunk into the sea with his mind wondering if he truly was betrayed or not.
Captain Anderson had told his comrades to subdue and restrain Saburo, then he turned to face the window… and saw a sight that made him gulp. He opened a communications channel to G-Force and stated, "Command Center… we seem to have a BIT of a problem. Do any of you remember what Naval Marshal General Isoroku Yamamoto said after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, stating that and I quote, 'I fear that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve'?". General Isao and the others were a bit puzzled by this, especially the Disney ladies and mice since they had no idea of this world's history.
Kenichi answered, "We remember. Why are you asking?".
Chris answered with a bit of fear in his voice, "I believe that because of Saburo, we have awakened a force of nature… and she is pissed!".
Indeed, in front of them with her arm stretched forward with a fierce protective look on her face was Queen Elsa! Her eyes were blazing with blue fury, like lightning bolts were flashing literally in her eyes! Tear streaks were shown on her lovely but enraged face, and her posture was one of attack as she was sending her icy powers to Super X-III, starting to freeze it over solid! Her dress was fluttering about her wildly, showing that her powers were at its full peak!
Because of the revenge-driven actions of one man, G-Force had awakened the fury of Ice Queen Elsa!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! Whoo… this was a seriously tough and long one to bring out! I really thought on cutting it into two chapters, but I am glad I did not! Hope you all like this chapter!
Once again, I thank God and Jesus for everything in helping me with this chapter and story! I really had a tough time on this, but He came through for me! So thank you Lord!
It seems that G-Force has awakened the full fury, and protectiveness of Ice Queen Elsa after Saburo's little stunt! And fury and anger will be shown, both in the Toho and Disney universe! Believe me when I say this, Hisoka-san would have faced more than court martial here in my hometown of San Antonio! We pride ourselves on military discipline, so his actions would have cost him here greatly. And they will cost him greatly when he and the others get back to Japan.
Things are really building up here now, and they shall continue in the next chapter! Be prepared to see some serious action and such when the time comes!
Now for the questions:
What would your reaction be upon hearing of the Disney bonded ladies forgiving Miki?
What would you have told Hades and the other beings in the Heavenly realm after witnessing the ladies forgiving Miki?
What would your reaction be if you were the security guard that just saw the fishes in the tanks being decimated like they were?
If you could, what would you have told Godzilla telepathically before he sank into the ocean?
And finally… if you were in the Super X-III and saw Elsa's current state and mood, what would you add to Chris's statement?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!)
