"Speech"
'Thought'
Godzilla's arrival to Osaka was met with the fanfare of destruction and fire. So it was called into question whether his departure from the city was to be a temporary benefit or an eventual detriment for the rest Japan.
Most were leaning towards the latter. There was much reason for concern as the Kaiju tore through Japan's countryside to sate his curiosity. Albeit without actually attacking.
Military Bunker, 12:31 AM,
"Godzilla's movement hasn't altered?"
"No sir, it's still moving Northwest."
Toshiro scratched his head in complete confusion. One moment, Godzilla was destroying everything in sight, making the military an embarrassment. The next, he suddenly quits and starts moving out of Osaka.
The thought that Godzilla was going in the same direction of the other Kaiju wasn't dismissed. In fact, Toshiro was certain that the two would meet.
But the real question was why they were heading to each other. That wasn't a question for a military general to understand.
'Maybe Kaiju's are just prone to fighting.'
Kinki Province,
Deeper and deeper into the countryside marched the destructive giant. It was much quieter out there no people or buildings just serene plains and streams. Until Godzilla marched into them.
That bittersweet feeling of destroying cities was alluring, but this one to follow the distant cries was even more demanding.
Words couldn't describe why the monster wanted to follow this creature, he just wanted to. His radioactive blood boiled a little more every time the call became more clear.
Whatever was pulling Godzilla was certainly powerful enough to deter him from destruction.
Military Bunker, 1:41 AM,
Toshiro grunted after hanging up the phone with his superiors, politicians didn't really understand the battlefield at all. They had given the man the order to lead an assault on where the two monsters would meet, which would be along the edge of the Kinki province.
The new monster, now dubbed Anguirus, was definitely attracted Godzilla and vice versa.
'I honestly can't believe that we're now dealing with two Kaiju.'
After reading the reports coming from China and Russia, it was evident that this new monster wouldn't be any easier to kill than Godzilla was.
Much attention was given to the armored back that protected it from any sort of attack. Combining that incredible hide with the unmatched power that Godzilla possessed promised a long fight to come.
The Chinese generals working with Toshiro had convinced him to perform a coordinated strike while Godzilla and Anguirus fight. The logic behind this was that the monsters would wear each other down to the point that missiles could harm them.
'That has to be one of the most absurd things that I've ever heard of.'
Toshiro was relieved that the calculated point of battle was too far away from any major cities. Collateral damage would be minimized and anyone nearby would've run for the hills by now.
The general turned his attention to the monitors, one observing Godzilla and the other tracking Anguirus.
'It's a necessity that neither one of those two decided to hit the drones.' Thought Toshiro as he looked at the screens.
While it was no question that those were replaceable, it would be good to understand potential limitations of either kaiju.
Kinki Coastline, 1:51 AM,
Explosions and blaze had long since ceased. Left with the petit chirps of birds, crunching trees, and the growing calls, Godzilla was able to think a little more clearly about himself.
Calm serenity, devoid of human interference, was always available to him before from the ocean. But a ambient night sky and crisp winds were much more comforting.
Godzilla was aware of the confrontation ahead of him. His life had only been spent in complete isolation. The only company that he ever knew was the small marine life that passed by him every so often.
Now approaching him was the chance to meet with another that could be considered his equal or his next opponent. It would certainly be more pleasing than that haunting image he had always known. Those empty eyes that always stared back at him.
Godzilla's attention was yanked to the coastline by a sound akin to a shrieking engine. Anguirus had arrived on the scene and was declaring war on the king.
Responding properly, Godzilla roared back. Their roars filled the sky and drained out every other noise.
Then Anguirus started to move towards his left to size up his opponent. Perhaps he had experience fighting against other creatures.
Fortunately for him, Godzilla didn't.
No warning was given as Godzilla pushed his massive body forward to attack. Surprise at the reckless choice was given. It was temporary as Anguirus charged forward himself and chomped onto the knee of his opponent.
The golden eyes of Godzilla dilated before he reared his head up and roared in pain. He punched Anguirus's head on reflex; earning the freedom of his leg.
Physical pain was now reduced and it was replaced by an emotional dent. Blood poured out of Godzilla's knee. It was his blood. It was his mistake.
Now fire burned in the king's eyes. He swung around, dragging his massive tail with him across the land, and knocked Anguirus with it.
Such a swift counterattack was surprising. However Anguirus showed determination as he sprinted forward and leapt up to head butt his opponent's chest.
Godzilla was knocked back by the attack and lost all the air in his lungs. But he managed to keep his ground.
There was so much pain brewing in the body of the Monster King. It was agitating. It was absolutely infuriating. But all of the pain was accompanied by something else.
Blood boiled and for the first time, Godzilla truly felt excited. This feeling, a rush of adrenaline, forced him to disregard the pain and smash his head into Anguirus's.
This was what it meant for him to fight; to dominate anything else that stood in his path. Anything that was willing to fight for this title would have to be reminded by the King of the Monsters.
Global Federation Japanese Branch, Chugoku station, 2:00 AM,
Ichigo cursed under his breath as he briskly walked down the corridors of the Federation's center. Knowing that Godzilla and Anguirus were duking it out made him want to get his wife and child off of Japan.
His wish was quickly denied as higher ups demanded that he get to the nearest Federation Station to conduct quick research.
Luckily his family was allowed to stay close by and the fight was too far away to cause any harm.
"Still, Isshin and Aki shouldn't be anywhere near this." Lamented the scientist.
Meteorite samples had been transferred from his lab to the Chugoku's research compound. Limitations on comfort, safety, and sleep would prove to be more than annoying.
Ichigo's submission of luminescence and animal cells had somehow drawn attention amidst the threat of Godzilla. It was possible that there would be a way to counter such a threat since conventional weaponry wouldn't work. And said monster had already defied logic several times.
"Dammit. What's it going to take to get something out of this?" Questioned the scientist furiously. "Why should my family have to stick around for this?"
His attention shifted to the possibility of Godzilla defeating Anguirus and redirected his attention towards Chugoku. Or the two monsters would probably prolong the fight all across Japan.
Such ludicrous assumptions could've been ignored if Isshin didn't exhibit such odd behaviors. His psychic abilities were always prevalent, but the recent interactions involving Godzilla really worried his father.
'It's not like he's been exposed to radiation or-'
An epiphany about radiation hit Ichigo hard. His attention was redirected towards the fragment. Could that light be caused by some sort of radiation?
Fear started to make itself apparent on Ichigo's face. He backed up and grab a Geiger Counter before pointing it at the samples. Luck would have it that not a single click went off.
"So I suppose that it isn't ionizing radiation then." His relief led to him using a recent method of radiation testing.
Professor Yamaguchi cut off another section of the meteorite and began working on a different method to understanding the luminescence.
Kinki Coastline,
The fight between Godzilla and Anguirus had yet to cease or even drop in intensity. If anything the two had begun to fight even harder.
Angurius reared his head up before charging in to bite Godzilla's neck. However the latter was too quick and managed to grab Anguirus's head. Godzilla took advantage of this situation and tried to claw out the quadruped's underside.
The assault was ineffective as even Anguirus's underside was very tough. A swift swipe from Anguirus's spiked tail forced Godzilla to release his grip.
Seven seconds gave Anguirus the opportunity to back up, charge, and curl into a spiked ball that impacted against Godzilla's body hard. But the taller Kaiju responded by grabbing his now spherical opponent and throwing him into the air.
Anguirus crashed into the ground with a giant quake and unfurled his body. Although bested he showed no signs of giving in.
A few sways of the tail and it spiked up again. This was the best way that Anguirus could convey his feelings of seriousness for the battle.
Such passion was reciprocated by Godzilla bellowing a roar and charging forward.
Both Kaiju collided in a power struggle. This could've been viewed as a friendly match if it wasn't for the fact that Anguirus was trying to kill his opponent. It was also prevalent that Godzilla was in the mood to kill anything that came in his path.
Their battle was swiftly interrupted by a series of missile attacks from differing directions. Irritation flickered in the eyes of the Kaiju's as the newcomers arrived.
The tactical strike had begun; fighter jets swerved in directions and patterns that made them appear more akin to insects.
Blasting them down with either sheer force or atomic plasma wasn't an option due to this excellently executed exercise.
Godzilla and Anguirus had nearly forgotten about their fight and became more concerned with ridding the area of annoying humans getting in the way. The former had come to the conclusion to use his atomic breath sparingly; no need to fire randomly.
High above all the action, a much larger plane carried what the military hoped would immobilize both Kaiju; a T22-EMP.
Military Bunker, 2:20 AM,
'So we've gotten to the point were we have to guess?' Thought Toshiro.
After another quick talk with the Chinese about a plan of attack, the decision was made to use an EMP bomb in the coordinated assault. Missiles alone wouldn't been enough to claim victory.
Such a bomb was designed to release a massive electromagnetic pulse to disarm almost all machinery, though on a much smaller scale.
In theory it would be able to at least immobilize Godzilla as it didn't run on any kind of radiation. Plus stock footage displayed how the original Godzilla struggled with artificial electricity from power lines.
After immobilizing Godzilla the Chinese vouched to attack Anguirus with an array of plasma attacks. They didn't think he'd have the same resilience to radiation that Godzilla had.
The Japanese general silently hoped that this could be resolved by that method; but he was prepared for Godzilla to pull some trick at the last second.
A momentary distraction was provided when he sipped some coffee. Toshiro wished that it would remain that way.
'Dying or showing resilience. Either way, you're going to shock all of us Godzilla.'
"Sir, the EMP is in position. We are awaiting your command."
"Right. Order our men to fall back and drop the EMP." Commanded General Hatake with composure.
Godzilla had all but lost his patience and was prepared to attack the planes by hand. His plan was not acted as they all fled from the scene.
Neither Kaiju expected this sudden change. They would've gladly resumed the fight if it weren't for the questionable nature of the action.
Then a strange sound hit their ears; a whistling. It grew higher in pitch with each passing second until they could see the round object within reach. Their world was engulfed by a blinding flash and a crackling boom.
Ok, this took longer than I wanted it to. It is good to finally write about Godzilla fighting another monster. Please leave a review if there is anything that you want to say about this story. Hopefully the next chapter will be out sooner.
