Disclaimer: I don't own Godzilla, otherwise the 3rd series would've been tied together better.
Side Note: I understand if some people didn't like Godzilla's roar from the last chapter. That was an experiment and I wanted to establish Godzilla in a scary kind of way. I don't think that I'll be doing it again, or for any monster for that matter.

Osaka. 11:23 AM,
ALERT LEVEL 1
ISSUED WHEN ANY SCIENTIFIC, GEOLOGICAL, METEOROGICAL, OR PSYCHOLOGICAL EVIDENCE, EXCEPT FOR THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE, OF KAIJU ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED
Members of the Japanese branch of the Global Federation gathered in a conference room. Everyone bore either one of two expressions as they sat down, unease or impatience.
After standing and making a salute, as is custom, they sat down to discuss the danger at hand and the appropriate measures to take.
"So, one of them has been spotted."
"Yessir, we are currently conducting an investigation on the fighter jets as we speak." Said the presenter.
"And what has been found so far?" Asked the one on the far side.
To begin an explanation, a slideshow began to roll over. Pictures that depicted the damage that the planes received flashed by, as well as the ships that they came across, or what was left of them.
"As you can see, Corporal Takeshi's jet suffered trauma of massive force from the right side. And Lieutenant Iruka's fighter jet underwent burning of some sort."
The top dogs of the military whispered to each other, and all of them knew exactly what this meant. But none of them had the courage to speak up about it.
"And what burned that vehicle exactly?"
"The salvage team is currently unsure as to what could've caused this, but high traces of radiation have been found."
Just hearing the word radiation at this conference was enough to stop everyone from talking. Fear adorned their faces, even those who had survived wars and terrorist attacks were left speechless.
Even though nobody dared to say anything, the presentation was prompted to go on. The presenter pulled up a graph that measured the pitch of sound waves.
"The salvage team only recently pulled this audio tape from Lieutenant Iruka's plane."
Pressing the play button began the replay, though many would wish that they never heard it.
IT...IT CANT BE...GODZILLA...
If fear had been spread across the people before, now they had true utter terror running in their veins.
"I..I don't believe it." Said one of the generals.
"Are you crazy? The evidence is right before us! Godzilla is alive!"
"Still, he has a point. Wasn't Godzilla killed by Daisuke Serizawa's oxygen destroyer?"
A storm of arguments and statements erupted in the conference room, with no true conclusions being made.
"Men and women of the military, calm down!" Roared a voice that silenced the arguments.
From one of the seats stood a general, a collected one at that. He calmly sat down after gaining their attention.
"Whether or not this is Godzilla makes no difference, what does matter is that we've got a threat to global security out there as we speak."
Nobody in the room could do anything to tell him that he was wrong. His point was valid and people started to discuss countermeasures.
"We should first alert the masses to level two, but not to evacuation."
"And why shouldn't we evacuate?" Asked the man who calmed them.
"Because we have no physical evidence that Japan is truly Godzilla's target. We should put more focus on threats made personally to us, such as Tsuke no Me."
Instead of arguing, many people decided to side with this notion. The only one who would oppose the idea was the general who calmed everyone else down. And he opposed it greatly.
Global Defense Network of Astral Anomalies, Japanese Branch, 1:43 PM
Ever since the Global Federation had been founded, many efforts were being made to protect people from anything like Godzilla.
As with any great change, there would be those who conspired and feared. Precautions began to grow with more information about what was beyond the atmosphere.
"Ok, careful laser cutting."
At the moment, one of the diligent professors, Ichigo Yamaguchi, was in the process of analyzing new material from outer space. No doubt was he grateful for it.
"And...there." His laser had succeeded in cutting a fragment from a meteorite that landed outside of Osaka two weeks prior.
Professor Yamaguchi then proceeded to delicately cut off the burnt layer. He was about to begin examining the structure under a microscope when a guest arrived.
"Having fun with your rock, strawberry?"
He turned around to see his old friend from the military arrive in, General Toshiro Hatake.
"Well are you having fun dealing with those terrorists?" Joked Yamaguchi.
"Heh, I wish they'd just give it up. But then I might be without a job." Said Toshiro as he pulled out a cigarette.
The professor placed a thin layer of the rock under the microscope and began to analyze its cell structure. Despite that he was busy, Yamaguchi carried on the conversation.
"So are we still on alert level 1?"
"I almost wish we were because we've moved up to level 2. But those idiots refused to evacuate." Said the general with anger.
Interested at hearing that the alert hadn't been called off, Yamaguchi pulled away from the sliver.
"Wait, are you saying that a Kaiju has been confirmed?" He got off of his seat with intrigue.
"Not just any Kaiju, Godzilla."
This moment would've been perfect for more fear and regret, but Yamaguchi just chose to laugh instead of tremble.
"Don't even try it, Godzilla was killed by the oxygen destroyer fifty years ago."
Toshiro shrugged his shoulders and pulled out several photographs. The photos showed the destroyed aircrafts, and placed more intrigue on Yamaguchi's face.
"The burnt one had high traces of radioactivity. And the other suffered massive trauma, probably from Godzilla's tail."
Even after seeing the evidence of Godzilla's attack, Yamaguchi still showed disbelief at this.
"That could be anything, Tsuke no Me are probably behind this. Besides, we have new technology that could easily defeat that monster from fifty years ago."
Denial took over Yamaguchi as he walked back to his microscope and continued to observe the meteorite sliver. Toshiro pulled out his cigarette and turned from his friend.
"I just came in here to warn you. Take your family to Okinawa."
General Hatake then exited the room, leaving his genius friend behind to his experiments and his denial.
Closer examination of the meteorite revealed what looked like animal cells with their own luminescence. Yamaguchi wanted to look further into this, but the cells light dimmed before he could.
'Dammit, just too hard to get good results these days.'
Osaka, Yamaguchi Residence, 9:28 PM
Isshin Yamaguchi looked up at the starry sky from his bedroom window, his face was adorned with intrigue at the evening setting.
"Sweetie, you need to get to sleep." Said Isshin's mother upon entering the room. The boy turned to his mother with the same face.
"But Moma, there is somebody out there who is really angry." Explained the boy. "I'm scared."
His mother offered a consoling smile and gave the boy a hug. His fear started to melt away at his mother's embrace.
"Don't be afraid, nothing's going to hurt you."
She put her son back in bed and turned off the lights before exiting the room. But before Isshin could sleep, he looked out the window one more time.
'Please don't be angry.'
80 kilometers off the coast of Osaka, 9:29 PM
Godzilla's thirst for vengeance was indeed to be reckoned with, but it seemed that he was taking his time to land in Japan. Perhaps he knew that the people would tremble in fear and regret.
Suddenly though, his footsteps stopped and he turned his head up to the sky. The stars looked like they could quell anyone's rage, but Godzilla pierced through that and continued to Japan.
Thank you for reading this chapter, hope you liked it. Leave a review if there is anything else that you'd like to know. Sadly though, its going to be a while before I can post anymore of this. I definitely will post more of this story, but that'll have to wait until I finish my Pokémon story.
But on a brighter note, leave a request if you'd like me to draw any of this on my DeviantArt page.
