CHAPTER THREE:
EXTINCTION EVENT
The Godzillasaurus could smell it on the breeze, wafted along with the smoke and smell of disgusting, burning flesh.
The smell of death echoed from beyond the horizon. Even from where the dinosaur was, it could see the plumes of smoke that rose beyond the horizon.
His mate stood cautiously next to him, the younglings huddled at their mother's feet. Even the Anguirasaurus that a day ago had relaxed by the river were tense beneath their bone-armoured hides.
Then it appeared, a dark shape in the sky at first, growing closer through the swirling clouds as it came into view, circling above the volcano.
With a blinding light, three tongues of lightening descended from the dark shape, blasting down into the mouth of the volcano with blinding explosions, sending rock and ash flying out in all directions.
Mere moments passed, and then the ground started to shake. The surrounding creatures turned and ran as the Earth beneath their feet started to splinter, the volcano rumbling as a wave of red, molten lava broke at its peak, a thick cloud of ash rising into the air.
Amidst the panic, the huge shape, with its massive wings and three snarling heads, descended, kicking up huge chunks of rock as the creatures scurried around it, giving an elated cackle at seeing the fear struck into their eyes.
Its fanged jaws parted, bolts of lightening surging from each one. As they struck the screeching animals, their bodies turned to black statues of ash as they exploded and crumbled, leaving nothing but burning corpses and charred Earth.
The monster turned, a single strike of its tail slamming into one of the Anguirasaurus, bone armour cracking before the impact as the dinosaur was hurled effortlessly away, the light gone from its eyes in an instant. The three-headed dragon lifted one foot, and with an earth-shattering slam, brought it down on the other, snapping every bone in the creature's body.
The left head of the creature turned around with savage teeth, snatching up a Pteranodon and, with a single blast of fiery electricity, annihilating the flying animal in the blink of an eye.
The right head screeched its glee and shot down towards the panicked creatures.
The Godzillasaurus turned, saw his mate crouch over her young to protect them.
The massive jaws closed around her, blood pouring out as huge teeth sliced through flesh and bone, and with a single, effortless flick, the female was gone.
The three younglings stood together, looking up with fear in their eyes at the golden destroyer.
Six blazing eyes closed, fixed on the children before it as King Ghidorah prepared to strike. Oh, it would enjoy the death of these little things…
Without thinking, the Godzillasaurus ran forward and leapt, flying into the side of Ghidorah's head and biting onto the scales that protected the demon. Its eyes burned with a savage fury as its jaws tightened.
This creature, whatever it was, was about to kill his young, and had already slaughtered his mate… and it had revelled in it. Now, it would pay!
King Ghidorah barely even felt the assault.
Effortlessly, the space dragon flicked the dinosaur into the air, causing it to slam painfully into the ground. The Godzillasaurus felt his ribs shatter upon the impact.
Ghidorah looked at it with an evil snarl and a look of utter contempt in its mad eyes.
This little creature had challenged it to defend its young? In that case, King Ghidorah would do its favourite little thing in such circumstances… this little creature would watch the death of its young.
Turning its right head, with a single blast of burning lightening, the terrified squeals of the younglings were silenced, replaced with twisted, charred skeletons.
The Godzillasaurus howled its horror, before Ghidorah's tail struck the ground before it, hurling away with bone-breaking force.
The Godzillasaurus lay still and unmoving within the trees.
With an elated screech, King Ghidorah took to the air, leaving the dinosaur, with smashed ribs, inured leg and broken heart, to watch the killer of its family depart to continue its slaughter.
And now you know why Godzilla hates Ghidorah so very much.
