Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! I want to thank you all for your continued support, and also answering my questions when I do put them up. And also, I will do my best to answer the questions that you give to me when they do come up.
Before anything else happens, I want to give thanks first to God and Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for the incredible gift of imagination, and also for helping me with this novel and the ones that came before it! I will do my best with the gift you have given to me Jesus! Not only that, for helping me to gain the tenacity, endurance, patience, drive and conviction to seeing this all the way through!
Now then, prepare to see what kind of tests are performed on Rapunzel and the Pixie Hollow fairies by both psychic and magical experts of Section M! Also, prepare to witness the first strikes of both the Crimson Katana and Destroyah! And finally, a new song that shows how Elsa is truly sorry for what she did to Burning Godzilla. All in all, get ready for surprises that I hope you like and enjoy!
I have learned that some of you have made some Godzilla/Disney pictures that are on sights like deviantart, such as laze jovanov who has stated that he has made a Godzilla (Heisei) & Sofia the First drawing. I have seen it, and it is pretty good! I really hope to see pictures that feature Godzilla/Disney stuff, and also to see some pictures that feature any of my three novels. Also, checking to see if anyone has recommended any of three novels for TV Tropes, and also YouTube to see if anyone has put up a video review of any of my novels.
One more thing; I will try not to spoil some things here. I know many would like to know the fates of the monsters, characters and also wonder if I will use other monsters that appear in the Millennium series. However, I really want to keep things secret and surprise all of my readers! So from here on, little to no spoilers so that I can get the max shock, and hopefully a good kind of awe, from you the readers and reviewers.
Also to answer The Question: You are partially correct. Rodan did give up his energy and life to Godzilla, so a small portion of him is indeed dwelling within the King of the Monster. And so it is similar to Simba and his father Mufasa from the legendary movie The Lion King.
To Guest, I have no problem with you wanting to write the story! I write novels like this in the hope that I inspire those that would like to write. So go forth and do the story with my blessing and permission.
To anime-death-angel, thank you for your words and answers! I will see on what can be done about your characters, and the ideas you have laid on the table will be considered. Thank you again!
I do not own Godzilla or any of the characters and monsters that officially belong to Toho, nor do I own any of the characters or places that officially belong to Walt Disney. I do own my OC creations, and most of the songs shown here so far. If I use a song that is by another artist/artists, I will give him/her/them their proper dues and credits as it is their right.
Now, on with the novel!)
Chapter 19
Currently at Section M, many of the workers and employees in that particular department had cleared out a majority of the room so they could perform the necessary tests on the subjects that were on their way to said room. The gathered experts in magic, and also those that held budding psychic abilities like Miki Saegusa, were anticipating the arrival of Rapunzel and the fairies from Pixie Hollow. One of them whispered excitedly to a colleague, "I can't believe that we are going to really see magic, and hopefully discover the secrets behind such a powerful force!". Indeed, the entire company were like little kids on Christmas Day when they believed that they received the present they most yearned for.
She replied, "I know! After what happened last time any one of those beings from another universe was here, I'm really excited to learn more about their particular kind of magic!". Shortly after the artifacts had become inert once the universal travelers had left, they had tried to activate them on their own with many devices, scientific equipment, and also various ceremonial chants, but to no avail. In fact, the only thing that seemed to stand out among the artifacts and objects was a small, hand-drawn picture that held a certain symbol. It was an exact drawing of the symbol that was photographed from the air over Monster Island… the same one that appeared when Godzilla and his allies/rivals first came back from the other universe years ago!
They tinkered with the picture with various tests, but the results were less than ideal in their view. The only thing that came from all of the testing was that it emitted powerful energy that was close to that of an actual star in the sky! It leaked no dangerous radiation or anything similar to it, but they could not do anything to activate or draw out the energy. So for now, that drawing was set aside for now and would be looked upon later.
One of the gifted psychic users whispered, "Get ready! Here they come!". The entire crew were prepared, ready to greet the royal queen and the tiny flying women when they came in through the door.
Joseph and Daimon were walking with Queen Rapunzel, with Tinkerbell and her fellow fairies following close behind. Bringing up the rear was Lady Benedtika, the female Mountain troll having her axe out and looking like she meant business. The group had been walking towards Section M silently, their mouths closed but their minds very active. The company had just witnessed a man that was driven by vengeance say some pretty strong and negative words towards them, then got his posterior handed to him by the matriarch of the North Mountain trolls even after he tried to cheat with a weapon.
Daimon broke the silence by asking, "So… do you think the others will be alright on their own after what happened?". Ariel had told them that she and the rest of them wanted to stay in a place that was relaxing, and also escape from prying eyes because the group did not want to be ogled or stared at by G-Force employees at the moment. Miki had told them about a Recreational Room that was near the top of the building, a place that was made so that G-Force members who had to bring little ones or teenagers to work due to circumstances beyond their control and/or ability could go there. She led the company to said place while Rapunzel, the fairies and Lady Benedtika continued to be with Mr. Sustaita and Mr. Lavestia.
Zarina answered, "I think they will be fine. Miki, Cateline and Elsa are with them, so they should have some excellent protection.". The Alchemist-talented pixie spoke with confidence in her voice, knowing that the others had some potent protection of the supernatural kind that would ensure their safety.
Silvermist inquired, "Do you think… do you think they will poke us with sharp needles and such? As if we were nothing more than butterflies?". Some of the fairies had seen butterfly collections on their trips to the human world, and they shuddered every time they even thought about those poor creatures being pinned down like that.
Vidia stated with fire in her tone, "They try it, I'll blow them away like they were caught in a hurricane!".
Lady Benedtika added, "Do not worry, Silvermist. I will be there to protect all of you in case they try something extreme.". After her fight against Saburo, the Mountain troll beauty was all set to defend her companions.
Joseph and Daimon sported small smiles, very pleased to see such a strong friendship between the different beings existing. In this world, such a friendship was RARE as can be. The two psychics approached the door, Joseph opening it for the Disney girls and allowing them through first like a gentleman would. The ladies slowly filed in, Joseph being the last as he closed the door. The group saw two large tables in front of them, cleared off while off to the side were various medical and examining equipment. Silvermist and the other pixies were very weary by the number of sharp objects there. Also, the ladies saw that the room was now void of magical artifacts and objects, Rapunzel wondering on where said objects were at.
And standing near the tables were the employees of Section M, all dressed in white garbs like those of scientists and/or doctors! The entire lot whispered to one another excitedly as they eyed the subjects before them. And seeing so many eager faces made Queen Rapunzel and the fairies feel very suspicious and to bring their guard up. Lady Benedtika also stood firm now, her axe ready to cleave any that might try to seriously harm her friends. One of the beings, a male psychic-user went to Daimon and Joseph and stated, "Everything is all set up! The various magical artifacts have all been moved to a nearby room, and also we have prepared everything to really examine our guests here.". While he spoke in a professional manner, the glint in his eyes showed that he was ready for some serious study, which unnerved the Daimon and Joseph a bit.
Mr. Sustaita replied, "Thank you. But know this everyone! Queen Rapunzel and her friends are to be treated with the utmost care and respect! So if you try something that they do not like, respect their wishes and do not perform said action. If you try anything suspicious or threatening… well, Lady Benedtika over here will show you how feared/respected her race is. Especially with her axe.". The staff saw the matriarch of the North Mountain trolls have a more serious face on, and wielded her weapon expertly with grace and strength. She finished it by slamming the butt of her staff on the ground, making a dent that was visible for all to see. The humans gulped and flinched slightly, Lady Benedtika smirking as she had made her point.
The long-haired blonde beauty asked, "Will this examination hurt, sir? And how will you examine my floating friends here?". Indeed, these were good questions as Tinkerbell and her companions hovered close to the brave queen.
A woman that was both a doctor and psychic-user answered, "This examination will not hurt at all, your Grace. That much I can assure you. We just want to test out the healing magical properties that are said to be within your hair, and also check on the pixies physiology and dust that they seem to have. But we all give you our word, and on our honor, that we will not do anything to seriously harm any of you.".
Rapunzel looked at the group, and saw that many nodded their heads, showing that they would honor the words of their fellow colleague. Although some did not reply, showcasing that they did not care too much about the words their companion had put out. This made the healing queen and her friends a bit worried, but they decided to put faith in the majority here.
The blonde-haired woman swallowed a little and replied, "Okay… we believe in you. Shall we get the tests started then?". This got an excited, joyful murmur to go through the group as two of them guided Rapunzel to one of the tables while the Pixie Hollow fairies were gently herded to the next table. Vidia and Zarina shot the ones that were handling them dirty looks, silently saying that they would not take any kind of foolishness of extreme procedure from the lot. Lady Benedtika walked to be between the two tables, giving a sense of security and comfort to her friends… while the G-Force employees made very sure to work carefully as they did not want to feel the bite of her battle axe.
Joseph and Daimon looked at each other, then at the scene before them. Daimon put in, "I have a feeling that while many of them are going to work to the best of their ability with Rapunzel and the others… also have the unfortunate gut feeling that someone will do something foolhardy that will result in damage to both building and bone structure.".
His companion remarked, "Most likely. But it's our job to make sure that doesn't happen, so let's get in there and do our duty to our friends.". The two psychic-users nodded and went to the company to make sure that all things went well.
~At the Recreation Room~
While Rapunzel and her group were being examined, Ariel and her company were checking out the Recreation Room with Miki and Nobuko. The room was quite spacious, truly made for little ones and teenagers. There were toys in one of the corners, a large TV station complete with video game consoles such as Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and PlayStation with controllers. The video games were shown to be in a cabinet that was underneath said TV box, near a VCR and DVD players. There was also various other games there that were not electronics such as table tennis, table soccer (foosball), pool, darts, and board games that were near a large table by the wall. To complete the scene was a grand view of the city of Tokyo through the window! Said window was tempered and double-reinforced so there was little to no chance for it to break by conventional means. To enjoy said view were some comfortable chairs, and a table that had various magazines on it that ranged from video games to other misc. stuff.
All in all, it was a pretty impressive set-up.
Regina looked to one of the game consoles and asked, "What are these?". Nobuko explained to her that they were systems that most people, even adults played games on. She demonstrated by inserting a Sega game that was quite popular now, turning the TV on and then the system. The Spanish-born beauty was a bit surprised when on the screen appeared what seemed to be a human-like blue hedgehog, who was smirking and waving a finger at her. She saw the title appear under said animal and it showed Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, and was very curious on what this game did. Nobuko offered to show her, the G-Force woman having kids of her own that really loved to play video games after school.
While Regina was being shown the ways of the video game, the others inspected the table games and the toys that were around. Alice and Anna looked at the table tennis, wondering on how it was played as they picked up the paddles. Ariel, Melody, Tracy and Cinderella were checking out the various board games that were near the table. The mothers were glad to see something they recognized, which was the chess game. Their daughters were more interested in the modern games such as Sorry and Monopoly. The very thing that intrigued them the most was a Japanese game they found that Miki explained to them that it was known as Go.
Fairy Godmother Cateline went to the toys, wondering if she could find some of the figurines to take back home for the little ones back in her own universe. She rummaged through the plushies and plastic figurines when something caught her attention. She gasped a bit and called out, "Everyone! Take a look at this!". The Disney and G-Force ladies looked to her, and Cateline pulled from the pile… a large plastic action figurine that looked very much like Godzilla!
Elsa, who had been looking outside at the scenery of Tokyo rather than inspect the games, had a puzzled look on her face as she walked closer to the magical being. She said, "Is that… is that Godzilla?! Why is a toy of G-Force's most hated being here in a place like this?". Cateline then stepped aside to show the others that it was not just Godzilla she found underneath the other toys, but figurines of the other monsters. Alice went over and picked up a small toy that had a likeness of Rodan, Melody one that looked like Mothra's first form the caterpillar, and Anna reached out to pick one up that looked like Anguirus.
Ariel looked to Miki and Nobuko, both blushing in embarrassment but sporting small smiles on their faces. The former mermaid asked, "Care to explain this, Miki?". The citizens and noble/royal beings back in the Disney universe were also perplexed on why G-Force had children's toys that were in the shape and form of the kaiju that they had been trying to eliminate.
Miki answered, "While many in Japan wish to see the monsters… destroyed, many such as small children are just fascinated by them. They think that, in their view, they are cool. Toymakers from around the country decided to make small-scale versions of the kaiju, and once it got started… well, just never stopped. Now Godzilla and the other monsters are popular with little ones worldwide. Many of the kids and teenagers that are brought here to relax and not get in the way of their parent's work like the monsters, and so someone thought it would be a good idea to have some of the toys up here.".
Nobuko added in, "It is a bit strange, and ironic that G-Force would have toys here that show the very beings that they are trying to destroy. And more so when the kids of said employees start to play and imagine being them". The Disney ladies picked up some of the toys, inspecting them and also marveling on how the toy crafters had gone to such lengths to make sure certain parts of the monster was detailed.
The Ice Queen picked up the Godzilla figurine that Cateline had set down so she could look at the other toy monsters. Elsa looked at the face of the saurian, which showed a fierce expression like it was ready for battle. The ice-user thought, 'They might have captured his fighting side… but I doubt any of these toy crafters have even glimpsed at his gentle side.'. Though the words 'gentle' and Godzilla rarely went hand-in-hand, Elsa knew better. Like the others with her, she had seen a side to Godzilla that showed he was more than a fierce and intelligent savage monster.
The white-haired beauty looked to Miki and asked, "Excuse me Miki, but… is there a place where I can be myself for a while?". Saegusa-san looked a bit perplexed by her friend's request, but said that she could take the stairs or elevator upstairs to the roof that was just one level above them. Said place was designed with handrails and such to prevent any unwary soul from falling down from the tall heights… and becoming a really bad & ugly stain on the ground floor. Elsa thanked her then moved to exit the room, the other Godzilla bonded not noticing as they were busy looking at the toys.
The one who did notice though was Ariel and Anna, the duo looking up to see Elsa leave.
The Snow Queen had decided to use the stairs instead of the elevator, figuring a little walk was better than just standing and waiting in a confined space. Once she ascended up, she reached the door and opened it. She was now officially on the roof of G-Force, which was wide and spacious with large square vents, machines and satellite dishes spread here and there so the ones inside the building could receive air, electricity, signals and so on. Elsa walked a bit along the roof until she spotted some chairs that were nearby. Apparently, those that came up to the roof either to relax or contemplate things had set up chairs so they could sit down and gaze outward to the city rather than just stand around. The Snow Queen took one of the chairs, sitting in it and looking out towards the east where the sun often rose at.
Now that she had some quiet, alone time, Elsa started to think deeply on the events that just transpired. More specifically, she was focusing on what happened when she and Super X-III froze Godzilla. Though she did have some alone time when she was carrying the near-completely frozen craft over the seas, her mind was preoccupied by rage and anger. Now that it was all drained out of her, she started to truly dwell on the matter concerning her friend that was now frozen in the Pacific Ocean. She thought, 'Godzilla… I really do hope you forgive me, and see that my actions were not one of betrayal…'. This was so deep in thought, that she did not realize that twenty minutes had gone by nor did she sense someone approaching her.
A light hand touched her shoulder, and that was enough to jolt the snow beauty out of her deep contemplation. She shook a little out of surprise from the touch, and looked behind her to see that the one who disturbed her was Anna and Ariel. Elsa took a quick moment to regain herself and asked, "Anna?! Ariel? What are you doing here? I thought you were downstairs in that room with Miki and the others?".
Ariel responded, "We have been Elsa, for the past twenty minutes or so. When you didn't come down, we thought that something was wrong and came up here to check up on you.". Elsa blushed slightly in embarrassment, not realizing that she had been in deep meditation for that long.
Anna inquired, "Elsa, is everything okay? You looked a bit out of it when you came up here, and also when we found you in this chair. I know the weather is wonderful and all, but is there something else on your mind?". Indeed, the weather was beautiful as there was not a cloud in the sky and it was quite mild and soothing. Anyone that came out here to take a light rest would be so immersed in the peaceful silence and pleasant weather that they would take more than just a light nap.
The co-ruler of Arendelle sighed as she rose up from the chair, walking over the railing as she grabbed and leaned on it slightly as she looked towards the direction of the ocean. When Ariel and her sister joined her, Elsa answered, "I've just been thinking about… what I did to Godzilla. I know he needed to be cooled down so he wouldn't explode and all, but… it really didn't help when Super X-III came in on the scene and fired those freezing weapons at him. And when he saw me actually helping him… I felt immense hurt and betrayal coming from the bond we shared.". Ariel and Anna now understood the gifted one, each taking a side with the former mermaid on the left while fiery sister of Elsa was on the right. Both put a hand on her shoulder, sending calm and peace to the icy ruler.
Anna put in, "Hey, just don't think on it too hard or too seriously. I think… no, BELIEVE that Godzilla knows deep down that you did not betray him. I mean, did he attack you when you helped that aircraft?". Elsa thought on it, and was slightly surprised to remember that indeed, the King of the Monsters did not attack her at all! Sure he roared at her, telling Elsa to stop what she was doing, but he did not swipe at her or use his own potent flame breath on her. Now that was proof that Godzilla still cared for her at least!
Ariel saw the look of realization on her face and added, "You see? You remembered that he didn't attack you, and that there is proof enough that he still believes in you.". Elsa looked to her friend and sister, thanking them for her out of this little guilt trip she was on. The Snow Queen then looked out towards the horizon, towards where the Pacific Ocean was at. She felt that she needed to sing something, to call out to Godzilla and tell him that she still believed and cared for him. That she did not betray him, but helping him unlike the people that had attacked him in the past.
The words were in her heart, her spirit reaching out to connect with the frozen monster, and the melody coming forth from her soul as the sounds of the city seemed to be drowned out by what was emerging from her being. Nature helped like before, the elements coming forth to aid the visitor from another universe.
I am very sorry my friend, believe me… I had no choice.
If you can still hear me, please listen to my voice.
You were in such terrible pain, housing much power that was hurting you.
I came here to help you out, that much is very true.
As she sang the words, they floated into the air and towards Godzilla as he was floating deep in the Pacific Ocean. He was still conscious and alive, but could not move at all. He was still cooling off, the heat and power within him subsiding gradually. By the authority of the Higher One above, Elsa's voice cut through the water and ice so that her words connected with Godzilla's ears… but most of all, his heart.
{Forgive me Godzilla, know I still believe in you.
Forgive me my friend, I hope that you come through.
People here only see the rage and fierceness that makes you infamous worldwide…
But myself and others also see a different side of you, a noble and gentle side.
Forgive me, my bonded, for putting you on ice.
But if I hadn't done this, many would have paid the ultimate price.}
Back in the Disney universe who were still watching, they heard the song from their queen as they absorbed her soulful words. Many agreed with her, that if she did not use her icy gifts on Godzilla even with Super X-III to aid her, the saurian might have exploded and taken the planet out with him. King Azad continued to watch his wife, moved as she sang for her voice was beautiful and sweet to him. And also what she was saying was coming from the heart, which was even better.
Godzilla… you and the other monsters are so unique and strong.
If others would see past your appearance, they would realize they have you all wrong.
You are more than just a beast, more than just a mutated dinosaur.
That you have substance and heart, the likes that have rarely been seen before!
What the Disney trio did not know was that all of this was being recorded. For security purposes, camera were installed on the roof so that enemy forces would not be able to easily sneak inside G-Force from said area. In the Security Room that was near the ground floor of the building, several officers were watching and hearing the very touching and moving song and music that had them curious on how it was possible when there was no musical equipment around. It seemed that many of them had yet to truly understand the special magic that the Disney trio had within them.
{Forgive me Godzilla, heal as you sleep…
Forgive me my friend, my friendship and love for you still run deep!
You are a hero to our world, one who is looked to in a positive light.
Some see you as a terrible wrong, but myself and others believe that you were made right!
Forgive me, my friend and I hope that when you are well…
That our bond remains strong, and clear as a bell!}
As the song she was singing to her companion that was out at sea started to settle and slow down, Elsa looked to her friend and sister who gave her true, warm smiles. The Ice Queen returned the gesture, and both now looked out to where the Pacific Ocean was at. All three finished the song of forgiveness and friendship to Godzilla, the titan who was a villain in his own universe… but a hero to another.
Be well Godzilla… sleep and know that this be all true.
That you have friends and allies here, and back at our home…
We still believe in you!
So please keep the faith and trust in us, Monster King of All…
Never let your heart falter, please… never let your faith fall.
At the end of their little melody to King of the Monsters, the trio said a small prayer to the High One above to look after their friend. And also that their words reached Godzilla in hopes that he did hear them and that he still had faith in them despite what happened. Elsa let out a sigh and said softly, "Thank you very much for being here. I really needed to just let it all out like that.". Ariel replied that it was no problem, that it was what friends were for.
Anna suggested, "Now, how about we go back to the Recreation Room and relax until Rapunzel and the others are finished with their examination? I think Filimore and the mice wanted to try out one of those games that have those strange figurines on it.". She was referring to the table soccer (foosball), the furry little ones wanting to see how it worked and how to play. But since they were small enough, they actually wanted to be IN the game rather than just play it.
Elsa smiled and replied, "Sure, let's go back inside. I think some of those games look interesting to play, so let's give it a try.". The trio went towards the door to go back downstairs, not seeing the security cameras at all.
One of the officers turned off the monitor that was connected to the rooftop, looking a bit thoughtful before he ejected the tape that held the security footage. His fellow officer that was nearby inquired, "Sir, are you going to report that to the boss?". The other G-Force employees looked to their leader, who said nothing but slowly rose up and walked towards a large trash can bin. He looked at the tape that was now in his hands… then threw it away. This surprised all of them, considering that it was their duty to keep all tapes of everything thing that went down in their building! Not to mention that the higher-ups in G-Force had told them to show them any kind of evidence that was deemed significant that involved the ladies from another universe.
Their leader looked to his fellow officers and stated, "We all saw what happened at the hanger this afternoon, and right now we are on thin ice as it is with those powerful beings. Besides… it was a private moment, and I believe it needs to stay private. Any objections then?". The thinly-veiled threat hung in the air, the security people shaking their heads as they knew that any kind of objection would result in something rather unpleasant, be it physical or mental. The security chief nodded his head, and everyone went back to work on monitoring the various rooms and hallways.
~Now 3:45 p.m.~
It was no late afternoon, about two or so hours had passed since Rapunzel and the pixies had left to go do their examinations. Right now, the rest were still at the Recreation Room as they relaxed and waited. Melody and Tracy were now playing table tennis with one another, the young ladies having fun playing it as Miki had explained the rules to them. Cinderella and Ariel were trying out the table soccer (foosball) game, with Filimore and Illbert actually being in the game. The former queens made sure to not the hurt the mice by accident too much when controlling their respective sides. Plaisance and Estée were playing one of the board games with Elsa and Anna, which was the game Sorry!, Nobuko having explained the rules and how it was played. Regina and Miki were playing darts, and finally Nobuko & Alice were reading various magazines on the plush seats. Fairy Godmother Cateline was sipping some tea that she conjured for herself at the coffee table that was in the middle of the room, just relaxing for the moment.
Everyone had tried a little bit of something in the Recreation Room, and were very much enjoying themselves at the moment. Miki was about to throw her final dart, aiming hard for the red bull's-eye, when her cell phone went off. The sudden noise and vibration startled her, making her throw her dart way off as it embedded itself into the wall to the right of the dart board. Regina chuckled a little as it was now apparent she had won their match, Miki shaking her head slightly in amusement before taking out her device and turning it on.
"Moshi moshi? Ah, Joseph! How are you? How did the examination go? Huh uh… really?! Oh my… are they alright? I see… it's all over now? Okay, we'll go and get them. Arigatou! Bye!" Miki said before hanging up. The Disney ladies looked to her, wondering on what was just told to her.
Cinderella inquired, "Miki? Is everything alright? Did something happen to Rapunzel and the fairies?".
The psychic beauty went to take all of the darts out, answering as she put them away. She replied, "It seems that there has been some little incidents at Section M during the exams, but everyone is alright. Joseph insists that we go down there and see for ourselves as well to pick the ladies up. Come on!". The Disney beings ended their games, putting everything up neatly but quickly before following Miss Saegusa out the door and towards the elevators.
When got managed to get to the appropriate floor that led to Section M, the company walked over towards said area and went inside… only to see that it looked to have been decimated by a tornado with vines and large wet spots covering the entire room! Melody and the others gasped softly when they saw the level of destruction, looking this way and that to see that the pixies really went to work on the place. Alice inquired, "I wonder where is everyone…?". She got her answer when a large groan came from the far side of the room, and the ladies walked quickly over there to see a very unusual if funny sight.
Rapunzel was combing her hair with a brush, while Tinkerbell and her companions hovered near her. Lady Benedtika was standing beside her, along with Joseph and Daimon… and to their sides was a pile of moaning/groaning scientists in coats that looked like they had gotten in a round with Biolantte. Their bodies were covered in ivy vines, most soaked to the bone with water, and a majority of them were sporting bruises while their hair looked like something similar to the style from the Bride of Frankenstein. The queen of Leylstad glanced up, and a smile spread on her face upon seeing everyone.
She said, "Hey everyone! How are you doing? How was that Recreation Room?". Cinderella and company looked in awe at the sight, Nobuko commenting that it looked something straight out of a comedy series, be it anime or not. The two G-Force ladies looked to Joseph and Daimon, the two men having sheepish smiles on as they stood by a viciously smirking Lady Benedtika, her axe still carried with pride by her side.
Miki and Nobuko thought at the same time, 'This looks like something done out of an anime series… only it's real!' And indeed if this was an anime series, one would see sweatdrops on their foreheads. But this was not something out of a cartoon, and the ladies looked at Mr. Sustaita and Mr. Lavestia that said they better explain now or things would not go well for them.
Miss Saegusa asked politely, "Joseph, Daimon… can you please explain what happened here? On why most of the Section M staff is either unconscious or groaning in pain? And why this room is like a war zone?". Now, in nature the female of the species was more deadly then the male. In this particular case, it was true as the firmness and coolness in Miki's tone showed the two men that she did not look amused, and something very painful would come if they would not answer her questions truthfully.
Joseph answered, "Well Miki-chan, it's like this. You see, we were aiding Lady Benedtika here in making sure that no one did anything funny to Rapunzel and the pixies while their magic was being examined. It was all going fine, each of the staff collecting the data they gathered and also writing down in their notepads on what they discovered. But… it seemed that a couple of the staff members did something they really shouldn't have done…".
Daimon continued for his friend, "Nearing the end of our examination, one of the staff members, a young man by the name of Hachiro started to feel up Rapunzel. He touched her hair in a way that made her very uncomfortable, then started to feel some parts of her neck.". All turned to the queen of Lelystad, and the smile on her face to be replaced by a nervous look along with her body to shiver slightly.
Back in the Disney universe, King Eugene who was seeing this with the others looked ticked off big time! Some of the citizens had to hold him back when he was about to go Genie and the Magic Mirror to demand that he go to the other realm so he could deal with this Hachiro person. When it came to their wives, the husbands would come to their defense immediately if someone dare to stain or taint their honor… or worse. For men that had girlfriends, wives or daughters, women were precious beyond mere treasures & should be treated with the utmost love, care, respect and goodness.
Joseph picked up, "Rapunzel at first, gently told him to stop it. He did, but it only lasted for a few minutes before he did it again. She was about to tell him a bit more forcefully to stop… when Lady Benedtika came in and grabbed him by the arm tight. He actually yelled in pain from the grab, the mistress of the axe showing that she was stronger than she looked.". Lady Benedtika saw everyone look to her, and she nodded her head in confirmation.
Daimon stated, "He cried for her to stop, and she said only if he ceased his actions towards Rapunzel. That she was a married woman, and also that she did not like being touched by a stranger in such a manner. He promised, and she let go… only to see another attempting to touch Rapunzel in a place that was not her hair. Me and Joseph stopped him, but Lady Benedtika did something a little more aggressive… which was throwing Hachiro hard and fast towards the offender.". The group looked very upset now that someone had tried to feel up their friend again, Melody and Tracy going to Rapunzel's side. The blonde beauty was tougher then she looked, but still… it was still an ordeal that she much would not want to go through again.
Lady Benedtika spoke, "Almost at the same time, two of the twisted men tried to do the same with Rosetta, Silvermist and Iridessa. They touched, petted and also poked in some places with their fingers that was not something any decent person would do. They told the duo to stop, but they continued to persist. After some time, Rosetta and Vidia got fed up with the action and did something about it. Rosetta used her power to call forth a potted plant that was nearby, to grab one of the fools with its stems and hold him tight. Vidia whirled around the other man, twisting him like a top and sending the surprised simpleton into some of the other members.".
Joseph finished up, "By the time it happened, something just sort of… snapped. Like what happens in a school cafeteria where a food fight erupts, only in this case it was psychic and humans against magical fairies and one ticked off female Mountain troll bodyguard. And that happened just twenty minutes before I called you, Miki.".
Nobuko inquired, "If that happened that long ago, why did you wait to call her?". Mr. Sustaita answered that during the melee, he lost his cell phone and thus had to find it among the mess and body pile. It took him a while to find it, then made sure it was still intact and working before making the call.
Daimon put in, "Also, all of the data and such that we found about the healing magic in Rapunzel's hair, and the pixie dust from Tinkerbell and company… it's all destroyed. During the brawl, the papers were either soaked or thrashed up and the electronic data was corrupted beyond repair thanks to the ambient magical energies that were unleashed here". Many in the company felt it was justice that all of that work was now gone, a kind of compensation due to the actions of a few men that were too pathetic to try and get girls the honorable, decent way.
Tinkerbell suggested, "Ummm… how about we get out of here before any others come in? I'm sure that G-Force can clean this mess up, and also give General Isao a bit more of a headache than usual.". In the feisty blonde pixie's view, anything to give the military man more of a headache was a good thing. The others agreed, but before they headed out Joseph asked if he and Daimon could join them. Since most of Section M was incapacitated at the moment, more than likely they had the rest of the day off. After some quick thinking, Melody said that it would be okay since they all trusted the two men. Daimon quickly left a note for any G-Force member to find, explaining the situation in straight-to-the-point details and asking to clean up the place. Once that was done, all left the building and went to the exit.
Elsa asked, "Where are we going to go now? Back to the hotel?".
Ariel answered, "Yes we are. After all that has happened so far, I think I want to relax a bit more back at our own rooms.". The other Disney ladies agreed to that, saying that they wanted to enjoy some special relaxation at the suite.
Anna surprised them a bit by almost exclaiming, "Oh my gosh! I just remembered something! We forgot to tell all of you on how trip to Infant Island, when we saw Mothra and the Twin Fairies! We were so caught up with the situation concerning Miki and MechaGodzilla-2, I almost forgot all about it!". Miki winced a bit, still sorry even to this day about the mecha and the project that she was a part of. Zarina spoke that they could talk about it after they were in the hotel suites, which the others agreed to as well. Daimon, Joseph and Nobuko were also curious to hear on how their adventure went yesterday. Anna also told Elsa that she wanted to talk to her about a special project that she wanted to do as soon as possible.
As soon as they neared the exit, they felt something negative coming their way and the company paused to see what it was. Walking towards the exit same as them was Saburo Hisoka, now in civilian clothing and being escorted by two G-Force members. The middle-aged Japanese man turn and gave the entire group a very negative and dirty look, especially towards Elsa and Lady Benedtika. Let's just say that if looks could kill, both women would be six feet under. Luckily, the rulers of their respective realms just a firm, neutral look on their faces as he passed them by. They had been on the receiving end of many stares like that when they had defeated an enemy that had tried to outmaneuver them on political and/or business battlegrounds, so they had grown immune to it. When he left the building, they heard footsteps and looked behind them once more to see Captain Chris Anderson walking towards them.
Miki saw the serious look on his face and inquired, "Capt. Anderson, what is wrong? What has happened to Saburo?".
Chris answered professionally, "Myself and General Isao had a long discussion with Hisoka-san, and we believe that he needs to undergo a full mental evaluation before he can even think of coming back here to G-Force or any other military work. He is suspended without pay until the time of his court martial hearing, which is in three days. I believe he will be lucky to even receive a dishonorable discharge after what happened today…". Both he and Gen. Isao had taken heavy blows to their honor due to the actions of the soldier, and were taking steps to see if they could regain said honor.
Elsa looked a bit pensive for a moment, studying the captain of Super X-III. She saw that he was a good soul, a good soldier that would do what was necessary to protect innocent lives. But also had a sound mind, and also did not offer excuses to his actions which was positive point to the Ice Queen. Those that made up excuses for their actions fell slightly short in the eyes of the co-ruler of Arendelle, and Chris took full responsibility instead of passing the blame to someone else.
Chris looked to the company and said, "If you excuse me ladies, I need to get home and back to my family. My wife and kids will be glad to be home a bit early, and I really need them after what just happened today.". He tipped his officer hat to the group before leaving the building, the man looking like he could use a little cheering up at the moment. Elsa hoped that Chris would be okay, and that his honor would be restored soon.
Melody spoke, "Well, we have one less thing to worry about any way. Come on, let's go and get back to the hotel!". The former mermaid spoke the truth, for now the crazed Saburo was out of their air and that indeed one less thing to worry about. As they left the building complex, they did not see that spying on them from around the corner was Tadao Soichi. He had watched them exit from the Section M area, keeping his distance because he did not want to get caught at this crucial moment. When the last of the Disney ladies left, he took out his cell phone and called up his true boss.
He whispered, "Mistress Momoko-sama, I have some news and info for you that you really need to hear! Yes… yes… okay, later on tonight I will arrive. I believe now that we can finally lay out some concrete plans for those women from another universe! Yes ma'am… yes ma'am… okay, I understand. Goodbye.". The young traitor slinked out of the area, going to his station to leave a note that he was going to leave early today. After the events that occurred, it seemed that nothing major was going to turn up other than the mechanics and engineers going to defrost and repair the Super X-III craft.
~At the institute~
While the situation was cooling down at the G-Force building, things were heating up at the institute. Dr. Kensaku had been going over several files from the computer, and books that were inside the building's archives. The man of science had been going through many pages, both electronic and physical, to find any creature close to what he had seen on the computer back in the lab. He had been doing this for about two or so hours, and he was getting a little tired. So far, he had found nothing that resembled the creature. He rubbed his tired eyes and asked to no one in particular, "What the hell are you…? Why can't I find you here?". He closed the book he was reading and opened another one called Crustaceans: Past and Present, believing now that he would not find the answer he was seeking.
He was wrong, as he skipped some pages at the beginning to find exactly what he was looking for!
The good doctor found a creature that was really similar to the one that was shown at the lab, and this raised his spirits! He looked at the picture, and saw a picture of a very tiny trilobite-like being that had been enhanced and enlarged many times. And according to the book he was reading, smaller than even the one he saw on the aquarium security tape. He read the info, "Earliest form of Acastava from the Cambrian period, which is a past history of the planet that is somewhere between 4.6 billion and 541 million years. It is a little different from the one on the screen, but it's extremely similar. But the one here in the book is very small, and the one on the screen… yes, this confirms my theory.". It seemed that reading that particular part had made his fears come true.
Just as he closed the book, but making sure to put a bookmark in it to find it again later on, one of his colleagues came into the room. She said, "Professor, the data has all been collected and saved on a disk just in case.". In her hands was printed paper that had the info and the picture of the creature that had decimated the fishes.
He thanked her and said, "Arigatou, Mai. I will take over from here. You go on home, tell the others to take the rest of the day off. I have some work to do, and it requires I not be disturbed at the moment. But… thank you very much for your hard work.". The young lady smiled and answered that it was no trouble, delivering a slight bow of respect to her senior before going back to the lab to tell the others.
Kensaku looked at the papers now in his hand, which was plenty but fortunately not too much. He sighed and said to himself, "Now I got to make this presentable to the higher-ups tomorrow… because I have a feeling those things are still alive.". Many would believe that anything that survived without oxygen would not last for too long in a world that was rich with the life-giving element. But Kensaku Ijuin knew better, especially after he pieced some pieces together in his head.
He started to get to work, putting the papers down and going back to the archives to get some books that detailed a certain professor of the past… Dr. Daisuke Serizawa.
~At the Tokyo Television studio~
Yukari Yamane was patiently waiting at the door to her boss's office, wondering on why he called her down there. She was working on the case involving the aquarium, and assumed that her leader wanted to make sure all of the facts were together before going on the air later on tonight. Soon, a male voice on the other side of the door called out, "Come on in Yukari!". The reporter got up and went inside the office, closing the door and standing in front of her superior.
She stated, "Here I am, sir. What is it that you needed to see me about? If it's about the aquarium, I got some…". Her boss lifted his hand, silently telling her to stop talking for a moment. He sat up straight in his chair and looked towards one of the most potent reporters in the news business.
He replied, "It is not that, Yukari. In fact, the aquarium incident will be taken over by someone else. I have another assignment for you.". Now that got the young lady since she was wondering on why her boss would hand a scoop like the aquarium incident to someone else, and then sticking her with another assignment out of the blue.
The leader of the news station continued, "Today, I just saw something on the news… one that belongs to a rival station of ours. Imagine my surprise when I saw a miniature version of Godzilla on the beach at Nemuro, and around it were flying children! Add to the fact that the parents and adults that were interviewed by the reporters is that a woman named Rapunzel and some tiny women with wings were actually friends with the monster! And according to my sources, you and a friend of yours from G-Force really know this woman and these… fairies. Am I right?".
Yukari was surprised at this, seeing what had occurred in Nemuro in the paper but not seeing the actual footage from those that had taken pictures and shots of the event. Her boss stated, "Yukari… I want you to go to G-Force, and try and get an interview with this Rapunzel character and these… tiny women with wings. I want to be sure that all of this, and what happened at Nemuro, is truly authentic and real! So, go on out there and get me the story of the millennium!". The woman bowed slightly in respect to her boss before leaving.
Yamane-san thought, 'Wow… so it was true! Rapunzel and the others did meet up with Godzilla Junior, and apparently did something I would never have believed! Though I want to chase after the aquarium scoop… this is what my boss told me to do. So, how can I get an interview from Rapunzel and the pixies without making it look bad?'. A reporter's dilemma in most cases is where moral standing clashed with news duty. So Yukari left the station, wondering on what to do in order to get the interview that would really help out her station as well as elevate her career. But at the same time, to not lose the respect and friendship she had with Miki and her companions from another universe.
And thus the planning commenced from all sides concerning the Disney ladies!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! Not bad, eh? For the song I put here called Forgive Me, I used a mixture of songs and music from two other hits that are very good to me. It is God Help the Outcasts from the classic Disney movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the other is The River by my personal Christian hero Carman!
Once again, I would like to give praise and thanks to God and Jesus Christ for helping me immense with this story! As the chapters progress, it gets a bit harder to continue and write. But with you Lord, you helped me see it all through and make each chapter worth writing! So thank you God!
I felt that some levity was needed here, since in the next chapter and many more to come… drama, action and adventure stir up big time! So, consider this chapter the laughter… before the drama! Not my best analogy, but it's all I got. In the next chapter, see what happens as Elsa and Anna make something for the Twin Fairies and Mothra so they could add to the present collection that the others gave to Godzilla and the monsters back in the first novel. Expect the others to come in to make something special to symbolize the bond they have with their behemoths. And also, see on how a monster… turns into a demon!
Now for the questions:
What would you have done to those that tried to feel up or touch Rapunzel and the lovely pixies in a manner that was dishonorable and wrong?
What kind of game would you teach the girls in the Recreation Room before playing it with them?
What kind of gift should Elsa and Anna make that symbolize their bond with Godzilla?
If Saburo had glared at you when being escorted out, would you say some parting words to him?
And finally, if you were the security captain, would you have thrown the video that recorded Elsa's song into the trash?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!)
