ALERT LEVEL 3
ISSUED WHEN PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF A KAIJU IS CONFIRMED.
Osaka, 2:13 PM,
With recent alerts of a possible attack, nobody in the Japanese branch of the world government was calm. But Ichigo storming into Toshiro's office wasn't expected. The professor's expression obviously showed that he wasn't exactly happy.
"Well, I'd offer you a cigarette. But you don't smoke, right?" Joked the general. Despite the attempt at comedy, it wasn't well received.
"Why has alert level three been issued?" Asked Ichigo quickly and seriously.
General Hatake tried to keep his composure as he dumped a cigarette into the ash tray.
"It wasn't us, the Russian branch did it."
"The Russian branch? So it's not Godzilla?" Asked Ichigo.
Toshiro got up from his desk chair and pulled out a document from his file cabinet. Specifically, the document detailing the reason behind the level three alert.
"They've released public statements about a massive cryptid that resembles an ankylosaurus that has been spotted in Tula, Tambov, and Saratov."
After reading that, Toshiro handed the document to Ichigo for him to inspect. The files contained a picture of the Kaiju and it did look like an ankylosaurus, but with a snout similar to a crocodile.
Inspecting the paper a little further revealed an important detail about this beast, its path.
"It's heading to Japan!" Panicked the scientist.
"Too late. China has also issued level two alerts on this guy." Said the general as he exited the office, prompting his friend to follow.
30 kilometers off the coast of Osaka, 2:15 PM,
Godzilla's rage was soon to be sated, even sooner than he expected. A fleet of Japanese battleships had made their journey to where the giant was.
Despite the nightmare that the kaiju was, there were brave soldiers who still wanted to fight.
A few minutes passed without any sort of action taking place. The people were patiently waiting for their orders to attack Godzilla. All the while, feeling confident that their weaponry could stop it.
Toshiro and Ichigo also waited patiently, sweating excessively with every second that passed.
"Fire!"
The first shots fired from the ships and the battle began.
A blue ray, similar to Godzilla's, struck the giant hard. The remaining ships joined in and attacked with everything they had to destroy Godzilla. And surprisingly, it showed.
Godzilla roared and wailed in agony as missiles and plasma was tearing all over his entire body. It didn't go on for much longer before he dove under the water.
With the Kaiju out of firing range, the attack was halted. Perhaps victory wasn't too hard to grasp after all.
Back in Osaka, Toshiro and Ichigo entered the control room where the battle against Godzilla was taking place. And they saw the majority of it.
"Looks like the plasma weaponry worked." Noted Ichigo.
However, Toshiro wasn't convinced even after seeing the battle. He continued to look at the screen, anxious for what was to come next.
"No, it can't be over just like that."
The waters if the battlefield remained calm, far too calm for a Kaiju of Godzilla's caliber. To be completely sure of the monster's death, orders for torpedo's and depth charges were given.
But suddenly, a blue flash erupted from the water. Many of the ships were knocked off balance and the naval forces were struggling to counterattack.
Godzilla rose from the water and began to counterattack. His atomic breath assaulted the struggling ships and eradicated them. Not willing to just sit there and die, the people fought back with their plasma rays and missiles.
Explosions decorated Godzilla's body, but he didn't appear injured this time. Free to move as he wished, the giant continued to burn ships to death.
The wake of destruction was disheartening, but the human's would not give in to just that.
Several carriers launched fighter jets to confuse the Kaiju and hinder his movements.
The fighters lined up in formation and launched missiles that exploded. But all Godzilla did was growl in a low tone at it, and attempted to bite one of the jets.
"It's not working." Whispered Ichigo as he and Toshiro watched the one sided battle.
Battleships fired plasma cannons at Godzilla's back and managed to give it some tinges of pain. But the giant raised its tail out of the water, throwing them off balance again, before slamming it down on another ship.
Taking advantage of this new confusion, he unleashed a wave of nuclear energy from his body. At this point in the battle, it was a miracle that their were still people who hadn't died.
"Withdraw the forces!"
Everyone in the control room looked over to Toshiro, who was sweating profusely.
"But if we do, Godzilla will head straight for Japan."
"And if we don't, more soldiers will die in a detrimental battle!"
His retort echoed throughout the room with much vigor. The only person who remained poised was Ichigo, because he easily agreed.
Not another moment was wasted before the order was sent out to withdraw the naval forces. Reluctance was fresh as nobody was ready to run with their tail in between legs. But the sheer power of this angry kaiju was convincing enough.
Godzilla wasn't exactly in the mood for mercy as he attacked several ships that were attempting to escape. Only when the majority were out of his range did he stop and roar to the sky in victory.
Toshiro briskly walked back to his office and was very irritated. He was followed back to the office by the professor, who could barely mimic that irritation.
"So Ichigo, now will you listen to me?" Asked the general.
"Nothing more needs to be said, I'm going to get my family out of here."
Nothing more was said as Ichigo quickly exited the office in a brisk pace, it was evident that he was concerned for his family. And that he was somewhat scared.
Now alone in his office, Toshiro reached for a black phone before dialing a three digit number. There was virtually no wait time, indicating that the phone was for emergenicies.
"This General Hatake, we need to issue alert level 4."
Based on the previous interaction with the higher ups, this one was predictable. The person on the other side started to talk more frequently about the current situation.
Toshiro just sighed at this barrage of words and pinched his nose. "Just issue the damn thing."
His order was only met with more questions. But his response was, well, different.
"BECAUSE GODZILLA IS GOING TO ATTACK JAPAN, THAT'S WHY!"
He then slammed the phone down onto his desk, abruptly ending the call. At that moment, a cigarette wouldn't be enough to calm him down.
'Those crappy politics will get us all killed.'
Osaka Minami Psychological Research Center, 2:26 PM
Isshin had to admit that the toys surrounding him were definitely fun to play with, but he felt more like drawing instead. Not even the social acceptance of other children was enough to persuade him.
Suddenly, he felt a strange sense of anger and fear looming around him. It was so big that he felt like it shrouded the entire city.
'Something...bad is coming.'
Unbeknownst to the toddler, he was drawing his subconscious feelings onto paper.
An adult came around to inspect the behavior of the children. She took her time to look at the drawings of the little ones, to grant them social acceptance and attention. When she came to Isshin his odd behavior caught her attention.
"Isshin?" He didn't respond at all, he was detached from consciousness.
"Isshin!" The little boy flinched as he snapped back. "May I see your drawing?"
"O-okay." He reluctantly handed her the drawing.
But what was on paper was simply odd in nature. Shades of red, yellow, and orange were construed around the entire paper with two gray figures in the center of it.
"Isshin, what is this?"
"I don't know, I wasn't paying attention." Whined the boy, as if he was being disciplined.
No sooner than that did alarms sound off for evacuation, causing widespread panic in the room. Isshin was petrified with no idea of what to do.
Luckily he wouldn't have to think too hard about this at all as Ichigo Yamaguchi burst into the room.
"Papa!" Yelled Isshin. His father perked up when he heard that and ran over.
Immediately upon seeing his son, Ichigo picked up the little boy and ran out of the room. Of course the boy was curious as to his father's odd behavior, but he was just happy to get out of there.
Apparently the psychological research center just couldn't provide the same amount of comfort as family.
"Papa, where are we going?" Asked Isshin as he was fastened into the car's booster seat.
"We need to go get your mother and go somewhere." Answered the father.
"Where?"
"Just...somewhere."
Isshin could feel a similar feeling of anger coming from his father. Not as much as he had been detecting, but it was still there. And just like before, the little child was scared.
Time could barely pass as everything turned to chaos. People scurried through the city like ants from their destroyed hill. Of course their were directions to follow for a safe and ordered procedure, but panic prevented anyone from following it properly.
Osaka Bay, 5:34 PM,
The absence of people in Japan was a rare occurrence, it was almost impossible. So the waters of the bay remained calm, as if their wasn't anything to cause worry.
If only it could've lasted like that.
The water's surrounding the shores began to recede back to the ocean and return as massive waves.
Then, from the bay burst Godzilla out of the water. He roared to the skies with vigor and rage, a cry that echoed throughout the entire city of Osaka.
With his eyes set on the defenseless city in front of him, the Kaiju marched forward. After so many decades of peace, a nightmare would rise to destroy it. And this was only the beginning.
This was the beginning of the time of nightmares, the age of Kaijus.
