Chapter 9
If the battle taking place had not been so serious its participants would have noticed the incredible display of multiple colored lights all firing at the same moment, from Godzilla's blue flame to the green lazar fired by the Mecha Gyaos as the Ishrakaneil sliced away at Bagan's flesh just as Ataru walker had said they would. Even super x 3's low temperature beam seemed to be doing some damage, Bagan shrieked as the massive onslaught against him continued. As Mothra slowly recovered it seemed that battle had finally taken a turn against Bagan.
As the collaboration of attacks from machine, man and Kaiju continued to loop in their favor Bagan felt his dark heart stir a darkness not even he was aware of possessing. It began to speak out a voice of pure destruction; no longer did he care about: conquest, the inferiors, or anything else. The only thing that mattered now was survival and annihilation; all would die at the hands of Bagan!
Bagan then grabbed hold of Mecha Godzilla's shock anchors and in pure primal rage ignored the millions of volts that surged through his body and ripped them out of his flesh.
As Bagan held the shock anchors he allowed a wicked smile to appear on his face, he then wrapped the electric cords around his claw and tore them from Mecha Godzilla's body.
A massive shower of sparks shot out from each of Mecha Godzilla's anchor bays, "Were losing power to the left arm captain!" shouted Victor Barlam over the roar of exploding machinery.
"Blast it!" shouted Captain Marou Kojima, "Mr. Asano! Can you get power back to the arm"
Genjo shook his head "No time captain!"
"What do you mean?" Kojima asked.
Captain Marou then turned his face toward the monitors Genjo was pointing at, "Oh shoo..."
Kojimas cry was interrupted as Bagan punctured Mecha Godzilla's NT20 diamond plated chest with its bony black horn. Bagan then began to slice up the metallic Godzilla's torso, causing its fuel system to rupture and spill out of its wound.
"Sir were losing fuselage fast!" shouted Genjo as Marou muttered a cruse under his breath.
"I need options people!" Marou shouted, "Were running out of time."
"I know" shouted Victor, " Iko can you redirect the energy currents used for the shock anchors so that they make the entire Mecha one giant electric conductor!"
Iko nodded "I think so but if I do that it'll ignite the fuel that's leaking out of the gash."
Victor smiled, "Exactly! We sacrifice the Mecha, but at least we have a chance at taking that creature with us."
Captain marou nodded, "Right lets do it."
Iko began to redirect the electrical currents to Mecha Godzilla's hull, "There done!" Iko said "now lets get to Garuda, we can at least salvage that." She said, but captain Marou shook his head,
"It's to slow, we have to use the escape pod if we even can hope to clear the blast in time, come on!"
Bagan slowly sliced through Mecha Godzilla's NT2o diamond armor, although he preferred the feel of soft flesh the Robot provide an equal sense of satisfaction. But Bagans joy was short lived as the millions of volts of electricity poured into his body, Bagan cringed as he watched the electricity ignite the robots fuel system.
The explosion was tremendous, Jukodo watched in horror as Mecha Godzilla was engulfed in smoke and fire. Jukodo's fears only heightened when he watched the creature Bagan walk out of the flames barely singed.
Then the battle began all over again, more energy beams and what little artillery was left of Teshima's forces. As Bagan felt the two white hot beams of the Godzilla's sear his back he knew that his mutant brother had become far more of a nuisance then was worth keeping around. Bagan then faced the Godzilla's and spat out a volley of black darts from his mouth. They raced past the Godzillas, missing Jr. but hitting it's parent, the original Godzilla did not seem take injuries lightly for it had already begun to power up it's ray to repay Bagan for it's attack. It was at that moment that the mighty saurian's eyes rolled back words and the creature known as Godzilla fell to the ground with only a raspy breathing as evidence it still lived.
Bagan knowing that the younger saurian would stay vigil over its parent instead of reentering the battle, he then pressed his advantage. Bagan whipped away from the fallen Godzilla to face the next thorn in his side, the flying machines that used the power of the Ishrakaneil.
Bagans purplish orbs began to glow as the same colored energy began to form at the tip of his central horn. He then released the purple energy at a speed and power that was inconceivable, the blast wiped out all of the Mecha Gyaos squadron except for one.
"He's wiped out the entire fleet!" shouted Takao Uetake, "This is madness we don't have a prayer against this thing!"
"Hold steady soldier!" general Teshimas voice crackled over the radio, "We still have three players in the game, let's just see what happens."
Then Takao heard another survivor of Bagans black beam "Sir! We've captured a spy!"
Teshima's voice came over again "A spy? For who?"
the other man came on "He says that he's follower of Bagan, that's all we've been able to get out of him sir."
Teshimas voice came through again, "interesting. Takao! I've got to go, you goanna be okay?"
"Yes sir, I'll be fine Takao out."
The super X 3 circled around Bagan, sporadically firing its super low temperature beam and cadmium freeze missiles, but having little to no affect on the monster.
"Sir! Were out of missiles" shouted one of the pilot's.
Captain Bakin Akita groaned, "Tell me do we have enough energy to keep using the temp beam?"
the pilot shook his head, "Not enough to do any damage sir."
"Alright" Bakin sighed, "get General Jukodo on the radio, and tell him were returning to base to restock are weapons supply."
The pilot nodded and hailed the general.
Bagan watched as the inferiors tiny plane like vessel began to retreat from the battlefield, but Bagan had no intention of letting it escape. The demonic saurian solidified the end of its tail into a large bony spike, he then whipped it right through the super x 3, cutting the mighty vehicle in two. The screams of Bakin and his men could be heard over the radio as the two halves of the super x 3 burst into flame and crashed into the ground below.
Jukodo watched in utter terror as Bagan demolished the super x 3 and utter a triumphant roar.
"I guess Ataru was right about Bagan being a demon" Jukodo said as he watched Bagan Leave the fiery wreckage of super x3 to approach The Guardian turtle Gamera.
Suddenly General Teshima's voice crackled over Jukodo's radio, "General Jukodo, we caught a Bagan cultist member, but he's not being cooperative. I was wondering if you couldn't be a little more ...persuasive, one of my men found a camera so were going to send you live feed from are position."
Jukodo watched as the picture of Bagan and Gamera beginning combat blinked out, and an image of a cloaked man held by Teshima and another nameless solider blinked in.
Jukodo folded his hands together in front of him, "What is your name spy?" he asked.
The cloaked man looked around, "The name's Dein high priest of the order of Bagan! and that's all your going to get out of me!"
Jukodo nodded "very well then. General Teshima please shoot this man he obviously has nothing valuable to tell us."
Teshima smiled "with pleasure sir!"
Jukodo watched the man known only as Dein beginning to sweat as Teshima cocked his pistol, "You can kill me!" shouted Dein "But you never defeat my master! You fools! It would take an entire planet to defeat my master! You're all going to die!"
Dein began to laugh madly but was stopped almost immediately as Teshima pistol whipped him in the back of the head, "Piece of filth" he said quietly. "So what now Shido?" Teshima asked.
"I've got it general!" shouted the Elias Moil.
Jukodo looked down at her, "Got what?"
Moil smiled, "Gamera's manna blast, the power of a planet! It's are only hope."
Jukodo considered the idea for a moment recalling the Legion incident " Can you convince Gamera to use it?" Jukodo asked.
The Elias' nodded, "We can try" they said in unison, then Moil spoke " But we need time, it will take a few minutes to convince Gamera, and another few to power the manna blast. We'll need you all to buy some time."
Jukodo nodded and gripped his radio, "All troops still capable of fighting against Bagan, listen to me! Were going to launch one final strike against the monster! we need everything you have! Although it seems hopeless we have one ace in the hole, the beast known as Gamera possesses a weapon that could destroy Bagan, but we need to buy him some time! Does everyone understand?"
Teshima's voice was the first to be heard, "General you have the support of what little is left of my troops. but Shido you have to understand even with Tako's Mecha Gyaos we don't have enough fire power to cause a diversion, even a small one."
"Then it's hopeless" Jukodo sighed.
"Umm sir?" said Amy Carmichael,"I think you may what to have a look at this."
Jukodo came and looked at the monitors to see hundreds of green blips on the screen, "Now what Gyaos?" he asked.
Amy shook her head "No sir, I don't think their Gyaos."
Jukodo quickly turned his head back towards the monitors as he heard them click on and an unfamiliar voice came over it, "Excuse me but who here is General Shido Jukodo."
Jukodo stepped up to see a Blond muscular young man in a pilot's uniform. "I am General Jukodo? Who are you?"
"I am Roger Harris, captain of the US air force" the man responded, "the united states has been following this Bagan problem for a while and it was decided not to long ago that Bagan represented a threat to the entire world not just Japan, so I hope were not too late."
Jukodo smiled for the first time since the battle had begun "No captain your right on time. We need a diversion so that turtle monster over there can fire a weapon that has the power to utterly destroy Bagan."
The man on the screen smiled "I copy that. You heard him boys were acting as bait for that overgrown lizard, so we better not waste any more time"
Jukodo finally felt hope as the Elias began to sing, and he watched hundreds of slivery jets scream across the night sky to battle with Bagan.
