Chapter 6

Tokyo

Near Asakusa's Sensoji temple

The sun was out and Tokyo was as busy as ever.

People bustling about the crowded streets, some constantly looking at their watches, while others hung around merchant booths buying a vast assortment of different trinkets to take back to their homes, displaying them as trophies to prove to other humans that they truly were where they said they were when they were there. But none realized the terrible juncture they were about to have with one of the most diabolical Daikaiju to ever walk this earth.

Genji and Hyoko were visiting the Asakusa Temple for the first time, since they lived in Sapporo they had never gotten the chance to see this particular temple. They had already passed through the Kaminarimon and were now at a fountain close to the temple, cleansing them selves before entering.

Hyoko turned to Genji, "Hey Genji - you don't really believe all this cleansing stuff do you?"

Genji shrugged, "Not really…but it is tradition - besides, washing your hands and mouth to cleanse away impurities isn't going to kill me. Who knows, maybe some good luck will come my way."

Suddenly the sky turned black and Genji felt droplets of rain upon his face. As the rain began to increase in intensity Genji and Hyoko watched as a dark sphere raced across the sky and land no more then ten miles away.

"W-What is that?!" a terrified Hyoko exclaimed. Genji opened his mouth to respond but no words came to him, he had become entranced by the devilish creature that was rising from the smoke.

"I-It's one of those Oni!" Shrieked Hyoko.

Genji snapped out of his trance, "What are you talking about?"

Hyoko remained quivering, "An O-Oni - you know a demon!"

Genji shook his head, "Stupid! That's a Daikaiju! Like Godzilla and the Gyaos."

Hyoko eyes were wide with terror, "You mean there's a difference?!"

Genji never got to respond, for at that moment the apocalyptic behemoth known as Bagan came crashing through the Kaminarimon Gate, sending a shower of debris over the two men.

Bagan knew it was here! He would find it, if he had to level the entire planet, he would find it! Thunder crashed overhead, followed by a brilliant flash of lightning, revealing Asakusa temple. That was it! Those foolish inferiors thought they could disguise it. Bagan trudged towards the temple passing by a young American boy who had come here on a class trip with his high school World Culture class. They were on a whirlwind tour of several different Japanese temples, but unfortunately they just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Hey Ryan! Hellllooo Ryan Hawk!!! We gotta go! Before that thing sees us!" shouted another boy, but the young Ryan Hawk could only stand and stare at the terrifying Beast with awe and wonder. He would keep that image of Bagan in his mind for his entire life, but for now he felt a strong pair of hands lift him up and carry him away from what he knew to be his destiny.

Bagan could sense the energy emanating from the temple, it was calling to him, it sung to him, it cried out to be his, there was but one obstacle in his path, the purplish orb underneath Bagan's flesh spikes began to glow, a great wispy black beam spewed forth from his enormous maw. The beam smashed into the temple and enveloped it in darkness, then it caused the sacred structure to collapse in upon itself as the wood within the ancient building rotted and dissolved under the sinister black beam.

Only a patch of rubble stood in the spot of the once proud Sensoji Temple. Bagan howled in triumph, he quickly swept away the remaining debris with his scaly gray tail, revealing a patch of brown dirt with a golden seal upon it, invisible to most humans but very plain to the eyes of the demonic Bagan. He released another triumphant roar and turned, positioning his tail above the seal. The snake-like appendage lifted off the ground then split into a prong like shape, encasing each point in a bony shell. Bagan danced his tail in the air for a moment, possibly gathering momentum for it, then he plunged it straight into the dark earth. As the tail sank deeper into the plot of land Bagan could feel the ancient energies that had been stored underneath . T

he inferior's religious statue was indeed buried underneath the temple, but what they did not realize was what the statue really was. Before his great hibernation Bagan had watched the two foolish inferiors pull up the statue, they called it "the goddess of mercy". The fools had no idea what they had truly found, it was a power container.

The Elias' had not only imprisoned him but had also separated him from his own energy and placed it within the stone. Over the centuries certain events had placed the stone in its final resting place underneath an inferior temple. Bagan would have toyed with the ironic notion of the inferiors possessing such great power without ever realizing it but he had finally found what he was looking for.

It was cold and smooth, he drilled his tail into the buried stone and allowed the dark energy to once again flow through him. For Bagan the process was much like being drugged, he felt relaxed, peaceful and felt very satisfied. Bagan's eyes rolled into the back of his head and the lids of his eyes began to flutter. The process would take several hours, and he was going to enjoy every nanosecond of it.

A secret military base (well, if you knew where it was it wouldn't be secret now would it)

"Then what do you suggest we do General Teshima?!!"

Teshima shook his head, "I'm sorry General Jukodo but it would be foolhardy to awaken the creature without the necessary weaponry to engage it!"

Five-Star General Shido Jukodo took a long puff on his cigar then faced the monitors which displayed up-to-the-minute surveillance of Bagan.

"So what you're saying is that we sit and wait until this thing makes the first move?"

Teshima nodded, "Yes."

Jukodo whipped his face away from the monitors in a violent rage, "Unacceptable!!" he shouted facing Teshima, "We need to attack now! The beast is vulnerable! We won't get another opportunity like this!"

"Sir!" Teshima protested, "We cant possibly attack now and hope to succeed, The JSDF time and time again has proven that it cant hold it's own against a Daikaiju with out the aid of anti-Kaiju weaponry!"

Jukodo took another long drag on his cigar, "Don't we have any other anti-Kaiju weapons other than Mecha Godzilla? What ever happened to M.O.G.E.R.A or Cybersaure or even that stupid Mecha Gamera idea!"

"M.O.G.E.R.A is a 700billion yen pile of scrap metal," Teshima answered, "As for Cybersaure, it's still in it's primordial stages and Mecha Gamera hasn't even passed the pen-and-ink stage."

Jukodo began to pace the complex, his cigar still smoldering between his teeth, "Well what about that anti-nuclear bacteria, don't we have any more of that?"

Teshima shook his head, "The good doctor before his untimely death had destroyed all his notes, there's no way of duplicating it, and the same goes for the oxygen destroyer, we have nothing!"

At this time Private Takao Uetake walked into the complex just in time to overhear the last bit of the heated conversation taking place, "… There are no weapons that can be used against that monster general, we have no choice!"

it was then the young Private decided to speak "…Umm excuse me sirs…"

the two men immediately stopped and turned to face the young newbie who had dare interrupt a senior officers' debate.

"What is it Private?" General Jukodo asked in a stern voice, Takao's eyes looked down and his face turned red, "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation and I thought I might have a suggestion."

General Jukodo raised a brow, "Oh? And what might that be Private?" Takao did not make eye contact, "Well isn't the Super X3 still operational?"

both generals blinked dumbfounded, "By Jove! He's right!" shouted Teshima who had always favored the English quote "By Jove". "The Super X3 never was destroyed! We could use that to fight Bagan! It looks like your going to get your wish after all General."

Jukodo Put out his cigar and turned to Teshima, "But will it be enough…?"

Takao then looked up, "Excuse me sirs but there is another reason I came in here."

Jukodo eyed the boy suspiciously. Takao took a deep breath, "A Mr. Ataru Walker has requested to speak with you and the crew of the Mecha Godzilla. He says he has something to show all of you."

Jukodo sighed, "Very well private, lead the way."

After gathering the Mecha Godzilla crew, Takao took them all to an abandon Arial Hanger in the Southside of the military complex. The room showed it's age, the cement walls were lined with hairline cracks some even had vegetation growing out of them, mold had grown feverishly all over the complex walls while at the same time making the air in the room stale and musty.

There was so much mold in the room that Jukodo had insisted that they all where oxygen masks upon entering.

"He said he would meet us here" breathed Takao through his Mask.

Victor Barlam was looking around nervously " You know it was in that movie killer mold men from planet nine that a group of teenagers got trapped in a room like this."

Iko hammamoto rolled her eyes, "don't tell me you actually watch those horrible B movies."

Victor looked surprised "Why? What's wrong with them?"

"There so fake!" shouted Iko.

"We fight Daikaiju for a living and your saying B-films are fake?" Victor said in surprise.

Iko sighed "Kaiju are one thing alien monsters are something completely different."

"why?" Victor asked.

Iko began to get angry "Because they don't exist!!"

"Victor lifted his hand up to his mouth and looked away from Iko, "Kilaaks" he coughed.

Iko's eyes narrowed at him, "you would bring that up wouldn't you."

Victor looked around the room innocently "What? I didn't say anything."

"You're so immature Barlam!" Iko shouted extremely flustered.

Victor smiled "It's not my fault they were prettier then you, not to mention much more polite." Iko tackled Victor and the two began to wrestle on the ground.

Genjo, Teshima, Jukodo, Uetako and Kojima all stared at the two Mecha pilots as the tried to tear each other apart.

"Who hired this crew!" demanded General Jukodo.

Marou Kojima spoke keeping his voice as stale and respectable as possible, "You did sir…despite my protests."

Jukodo was about to say something when a tall man dressed in a suit and wearing a black cape with an red inner lining walked in the room, he also held a red staff with a silver Dragon head on the top. "My apologies gentlemen…and Ladies." said the mystery man as he looked down in time to see Victor and Iko scrambling to there feet.

"I was …Delayed. Allow me to introduce my self I am Ataru Walker: Designer and owner of Silver fox enterprises."

"And what would a bulti billionaire like your self what with the Japanese self defense force?" Jukodo sneered in contempt.

Walker showed no sign of offense to the generals less then friendly attitude, "I am here my dear General because we share the same problem, the Daikaiju known as Bagan. I have done some extensive research on this creature he's become sort of a hobby of mine, But to the point! The creature possesses a greater threat then anyone here realizes, Bagan is not simply a mutated dinosaur or a left over bio weapon, He is a true Demon, a creature that will settle for nothing less then the total extinction of the human race. So you can see how this would be …inconvenient for business."

Jukodo sneered at the rich entrepreneur "And what precisely can you do that the JSDF can't?"

Walker smiled, "Allow me to show you" Walker pointed to the darkest end of the hanger "If you would all kindly look over in this direction I think you'll find what I have to offer most intriguing."

Walker clapped his hands twice, signaling for several powerful floodlights to turn on and focus on the area of the hanger that Ataru walker had pointed to. As the light pierced through the darkness Several Gigantic Sliver Bird like robots were unveiled to their aghast audience. Walker smiled "allow me to introduce The Mecha Gyaos!!"

Jukodo was stunned silent while Teshima picked his jaw of the ground. Takao Uetake, Marou Kojima and Genjo Asano merely stood in awe at this new technological wonder.

"See I told you a Mecha Gyaos was a good idea!" mocked Victor barlem.

Iko Rolled her eyes "Shut up Victor."

"How many more of these to do you have Walker?" asked General Jukodo still a bit spellbound. "A total of ten in all, never been field tested, but have preformed wonders in virtual simulation" replied walker, "so gentlemen do we have a deal."

Jukodo hesitated, "What makes you so sure these new Mechas have what it takes to defeat this new monster called Bagan?"

Walker smiled "I'm glad you asked general, well as I've already told you Bagan first appeared during the reign of the original atlantians, During the monsters rampage the atlantiens managed to find a certain source of energy that helped them drive back the demon, they called it Ishrakaneil ( i shh ra ka nil) which translates Into Stone of power. Although it turns out ishrakaneil or Ishra as I like to call it is not really a stone at all, but an extremely rare type of diamond that when placed in front of a Co2 Laser it will absorb the laser then focus it into a laser five times more powerful then the original, and it reacts negatively with Bagans skin. Each of the Mecha Gyaos have been equipped with the substance."

Walker pulled out a small green gem from his coat pocket, "amazing, such a tiny thing has the power to bring down such a gigantic creature."

"It won't be enough if you keep wasting time" came two small female voices.

"Who's there?" Demanded General Jukodo there was no response. "Who ever you are you do not have authorization to be here!"

"And we apologize for the intrusion but it is necessary" came the voices again.

Jukodo was looking around madly for someone to step out of the shadows, so he was a little set back when A Large moth about the size of his fist dropped down right next to him. He was even more unnerved by what the insect was carrying, two tiny women dressed in what seemed to be some sort of ceremonial garments.

"Please allow us to introduce ourselves" spoke the women in the yellow dress, "We are the Elias', I am Moil and this is my sister Lora."

Jukodo raised a brow "Alright mind telling me what an Elias is and why I should care?."

Moil bowed low, showing respect to the general, "We are the keepers and the voice of Mothra, we come bearing knowledge of the demon Bagan."

"And what do you want in exchange for this information" Jukodo asked suspiciously.

Moil shook her head, "Nothing but your cooperation and assistance in destroying the creature."

Jukodo hesitated "alright you got a deal" Jukodo turned around annoyed, "…..Any one else what to make a bargain! The devil perhaps?" Jukodo then sighed "Alright alright what do you know."

Moil bowed again and began to speak " Bagan is indeed as Mr. walker says a demon from the ancient days, but what no one here knows is that right now as we speak Bagan is getting stronger, for every second that ticks by Bagan's power increases by 5 times his previous strength if any attack is to be made it must be made before he regains all of his Strength."

"So how long do we have?" asked Teshima.

Moils face darkened "The entire process will take up to 15 hours, we must attack before the 13th hour or Bagan will have become more powerful then anything this world has to offer."

Private Takako looked worried "but Bagan's already been in that trance for three hours."

Teshima looked at his watch "make that four…which means we only have nine hours to: debrief, assemble and transport a massive anti Kaiju counterstrike, we've got one foot in the grave already."
