Authors note: Chapter ten has now arrived, and it is action packed and humor filled as well. The first half consist of the humor while the other half of the chapter will have an epic fight scene even cooler than the one with Ganimes, that I promise for sure. I'm very glad with the way this story is ending up and I'm actually enjoying making this story more than any other one I've ever made, and that is saying a lot. Other than that, I hope you enjoy and review.
Chapter 10: Vampires
O-O-O
Private Stevenson ran as fast as he could, not even daring to look back if anything was chasing him. It was his first mission as an EDF troop, just go investigate some scary cave he thought, maybe there were Kajiu living in it, but it's not maybe anymore, they ARE living in the cave, and all he wanted now was to escape from there.
He was now right at the same cave entrance he came into with, and he could see a Blackhawk helicopter on the ground waiting for him to evacuate any survivors out, as he ran towards the chopper, the side door opened for him and revealed the copilot of the chopper.
"Where's the rest of your team?" Asked the copilot.
All Stevenson could do was shake his head, making the copilot curse to himself as he helped up Stevenson inside.
"SKRAAAA!"
The familiar sound of the Shinomura could be heard from the cave, as Stevenson urged the pilot to lift off and get the hell out of here.
"KKKREEEEEE!"
Then the even more terrifying and familiar sound of Bagorah, even, louder than the Shinomura as Stevenson saw the two flying parasites screech and fly straight out of the cave, while he caught a glimpse of Bagorah's shadowed figure from the edge of the cave, who immediately stopped his pursuit as soon as the Shinomura left the cave, unable to leave his dark lair due to the shining sun. The fleeing Shinomura then flew up in the air and just missed hitting the helicopter, causing severe turbulence that made the chopper lose control of itself. Luckily, the pilot was well trained for this kind of thing and managed to get control of the chopper before flying away to base, while Stevenson just watched the Shinomura fly off in a different direction.
Now that they're predator was gone, the Shinomura had to prioritize on food, it had been too long since their last meal of Meganulon, and with most of them gone from the cave along with many other Kajiu they could've feasted on, they had to look for food elsewhere. The twin terrors flew west of their direction, hoping that their quarry would be found there…
In Gravity Falls.
O-O-O
Despite having forty meter Kajiu around the Shack to keep them company, the day was just another boring day of work for the Mystery Shack crew, but it was also a busy day as well. Tourists were coming in droves to see the new "attractions" that Stan had, and everyone pretty much fell in love with them. Children loved seeing the giant monsters on display outside the Mystery Shack, while the parents thought they were amazing too, even if they thought they were animatronics, just VERY realistic looking animatronics.
Because of the excitement surrounding the Kajiu, the Mystery Shack crew didn't have much to manage in the gift shop. Soos was outside fixing something that got broken while Wendy just sat at her usual post at the register reading a magazine, and the twins just finished sweeping the floors since there was not much else that needed cleaning.
"It's been four hours and not a single person came inside the gift shop." Said Dipper, pointing out the empty gift shop.
"That's not true. There was that one guy." Said Mabel.
"That one guy came in here just to ask where the bathroom was." Said Dipper. "Doesn't really count if he didn't buy anything."
"Not sure about you, but its fine with me." Said Wendy, looking up from her magazine.
"I thought you wanted to fight some Kajiu like you said in the morning?" Asked Dipper, wondering if what she said in the morning was true.
"I do. But I also wanted to catch up on my subscription." Said Wendy, holding the magazine she was reading to Dipper.
"Does it involve "Kajiu Weekly"?" Asked Dipper sarcastically.
"No, it has-
Wendy then looked at Dipper with a raised eyebrow, to which he replied with a smirk.
"I guess my sarcasm rubbed off on you." Said Wendy, going back to reading her magazine.
Mabel just looked out the window, seeing Grunkle Stan guide the tourists around the Kajiu, Mothra and Anguirus looked fine, Rodan had seen better days but he seemed satisfied with people looking at him, until his watchers left to look at Godzilla that they were amazed with the most, and he didn't look too happy about all this.
"I still can't believe Stan is using them like this." Said Mabel, looking at the Kajiu sadly.
"This reminds us of Mothra's descendent." Said the fairies, talking to Mabel on her shoulder. "When her mother was a mere egg, greedy businessmen in Japan tried to use her as some sort of attraction for people as well."
"I'm guessing it didn't end well." Said Mabel, which made the fairies nod.
"She hatched from her egg and escaped as soon as possible, and went back to the businessmen's company building to destroy it as punishment, no one died, but their business failed and their greed backfired on them, ruining their lives forever."
Mabel sighed at the sad short story. "Stan's not a bad guy, he's just…you know."
"We do know." Said the fairies. "He can be greedy, but we know him well enough that he has a good heart, he's just different."
Mabel nodded with the fairies, as she just looked out the window and observed Stan's method of luring tourists to empty their wallets.
O-O-O
"Welcome suck- I mean, ladies and gentlemen! Today we have a true feast for sore eyes, for I have recently discovered ancient beings that have been asleep for millions of years, until now that is!" Exclaimed Stan, giving a dramatic performance to the group of tourists to hook them in. "Some may call them wild beasts, others may say monsters, but I call them… TITANS OF OLD!"
Stan then raised his arms towards the Kajiu, impressing the children and even the adults at the forty meter Kajiu that lay before them, as Stan took them around to see each Kajiu individually, the first being Mothra.
"First, we will start with the most majestic of the four, the insect beauty herself, Mothra!" Introduced Stan dramatically, as Mothra chirped in perfect timing as Stan introduced her, amazing the tourists as expected. "She may not look the prettiest on the outside, but it's the inside that counts."
Mothra felt a bit hurt by that statement, as the tourists took photos of the caterpillar regardless and moved on to the next Kajiu, Anguirus.
"The next titan may not be as beautiful, but he makes up for it with his bravery against danger and his loyalty for his fellow titans, he is Anguirus the courageous!" Introduced Stan, as Anguirus stood on his hind legs and roared loudly, amazing the tourists even more. "Just don't expect him to think much, he lets the spikes talk for him."
Anguirus just cocked his head at the statement, as he looked at the spikes on his tail after hearing that, as the tourists took even more pictures as they moved on to Rodan, who looked ready to impress the tourists.
"Our next attraction is the most rash of the four, willing to show off his great speed not on land, but in the skies itself, and he truly earns his title of Rodan, samurai of the sky!" Introduced Stan, as Rodan squawked loudly and began to soar in the air, catching everyone by surprise as Rodan did air tricks in a single loop before setting back down, making the crowd cheer at the sight, while Stan cleared his throat from the unexpected flight. "A true samurai, and a big show off."
Rodan just squawked proudly, as the tourists took several pictures with Rodan, with the adults as daft as sandpaper thinking that the Kajiu are some kind of advanced animatronics, as they moved on to the final Kajiu, Godzilla.
Godzilla just gave Rodan a mean glare, to which Rodan glared back with pride as Godzilla snorted and looked down on the tourists, already fascinated by Godzilla's massive size and amazing appearance.
"And now ladies and gentleman, the main star of the show. He may not have any form of beauty, he may not have the same loyalty as others, he may not be able to fly, and he may be stubborn and has the worst temper since Hitler." Said Stan, making Godzilla's short temper rise from the constant insults, tempting him to just blast Stan right here. "But despite his flaws, he has something that all other Kajiu lack. He has power like no other living creature, he is capable of decimating entire armies that even exist today, he can strike fear to even the bravest of men, and he is Godzilla, king of the monsters!"
Godzilla just looked down on the tourists, not at all impressed with Stan's comments as the tourists expected him to roar.
"I said, Godzilla, king of the monsters!" Repeated Stan, with Godzilla still refusing to entertain the tourists.
Rodan saw this and decided to "motivate" Godzilla and stepped on his tail as hard as possible, making Godzilla let out a mighty roar that filled the tourists with fear and amazement.
"SKREEOOOONK!"
His roar was so mighty, it caused the ground beneath to shake, making everyone almost lose their balance while inside the gift shop, the overpriced items on the shelves started to fall from the massive power of the roar, with Dipper barely managing to catch them all as he put back the items and looked out the window to see what happened with the tourists and Stan.
The tourist crowd stood silent, until they let out loud cheers for Godzilla, amazed at what just happened as Stan bowed to the tourists.
"Thank you very much. Now give me your cash." Said Stan, holding out an empty jar that was instantly filled to the top with cash, making Stan smile gleefully at the amount of cash and turned to Godzilla, who didn't look too pleased with what just happened. "Don't get me wrong, I still don't like you. But you've done something good for once."
Godzilla just snorted at Stan, as he looked back at Rodan angrily, as the giant Pteranodon looked away from Godzilla, pretending like he did nothing wrong while Godzilla whipped Rodan's back with his tail as payback, almost knocking the Pterandon down while Mothra chirped at the two Kajiu to stop fighting.
Unknown to the group however, Godzilla's loud roar had attracted the two Shinomura flying towards the town, as they looked towards them on the ground to find the source of the roar to see Godzilla, confirming what prey the Shinomura shall hunt today as they sensed the immense radiation inside the large dinosaur while they flew towards him, knowing full well that Godzilla would provide a wonderful feast for the flying parasites.
Stan had no idea about the Shinomura, as he just looked at his jar of cash again, impressed with the amount of cash he received in a short time until a small child with his parents asked Stan a question. "Mister, what about those things up there?"
"What things? That's all we got, kid." Said Stan, confused at what the child meant.
The child pointed up in the sky and made Stan look up to see two large blue and black figures flying down towards them, making Stan's greed filled smile disappear as he changed into a more fearful expression when the creatures started to dive down towards the Kajiu, specifically at Godzilla as the Kajiu looked at Stan's direction to see the two Shinomura.
"Get back!" Shouted Stan, as the Shinomura swooped down at the ground.
One of the Shinomura flew towards Godzilla, grabbing the dinosaur with its long tail and wrapped it around, dragging him down on the ground since Godzilla did not expect the sudden force, while the other Shinomura flew around the other Kajiu, distracting them from Godzilla by harassing them with constant dive attacks at them, while the tourists panicked and ran away from the chaos, making Dipper, Mabel, and Wendy run out of the Shack to see what was happening.
"Dudes!" Exclaimed Soos, running towards the rest of the G-Squad. "We've got visitors, and their not part of the attraction."
"What the hell are those things?!" Exclaimed Wendy, as Godzilla managed to break free from his captor's grip by biting its tail, making it screech in pain and fly back to its fellow kin.
"Shinomura." Answered the fairies. "We have to get everyone out of here now."
The G-Squad complied, knowing full well that there was not much they could do about the flying parasites themselves, it was up to their Kajiu.
"Everyone! This way!" Shouted Dipper to the tourists, who went to the direction of the G-Squad while the Shinomura focused their attention on the other Kajiu.
As the Shinomura regrouped with each other, they screeched loudly at the opposing Kajiu and split up again, soaring in the air to formulate a new strategy. Rodan, being the rash Kajiu he is, flew up after the parasitic pair, and engaged in aerial combat with them. Rodan spin dived at one of the Shinomura, hoping to pierce its hide, but failed quickly as the Shinomura dodged the attack, while its partner grabbed Rodan by extending two long tentacle like limbs seemingly out of nothing from the side of its body, piercing through its own wings without any form of pain, wrapping the tentacle limbs around Rodan and preventing him from extending his wings out as the Shinomura dive bombed into a tree, releasing Rodan at the right moment and crashed him into the tree as it fell on the Pteranodon, while the Shinomura flew up unscathed as it joined its partner again, retracting the tentacle limbs back into its body and regenerated the holes on its wings.
"Rodan!" Exclaimed Wendy, fearing for Rodan's life as he tried to lift the tree off of him with Anguirus's help.
"Did you see that? It just grew back its flesh." Said Dipper, amazed at the regenerating abilities the Shinomura had.
"The Shinomura are not just one parasite, they ae colonies of smaller parasites formed in one body. That is how it regenerates." Explained the fairies. "They won't be easy to fight."
Godzilla roared at the Shinomura, as the pair flew at Godzilla, while Mothra tried spraying her silk at the parasites to slow them down, dodging the silk s the Shinomura split their targets, with one Shinomura forming the end of its tail into a scythe shape, swatting Mothra away like a pest onto Anguirus's back, making Mothra chirp in pain from being hit onto his spikey back, while the other Shinomura closed in on Godzilla, as the dinosaur let out his atomic breath at the parasite's wing, shredding the thin black skin flaps, causing the parasite to screech in pain from the burning sensation as Godzilla stepped aside for the Shinomura to crash into the ground, while its partner flew towards Godzilla, swinging its scythe like tail at Godzilla, but the dinosaur managed to grab the tail just in time and threw the parasite into its partner, slamming the parasite onto its partner.
The Shinomura got off each other, with the Shinomura with the scythe tail flying back at Godzilla, charging at him as the dinosaur grabbed the parasite by the head, pushing Godzilla back from the forceful charge while the other Shinomura regenerated the large hole on its wing, and began to form a pair of bird like hind legs to stand up, forming razor sharp talons as it also formed its tail to be thinner and formed three clawed finger like appendages at the tail's end, making its wings shorter and body more smaller and thicker, even making its head into one large sharp beak, as it screeched and flew at Godzilla.
Godzilla tried to throw off the Shinomura charging at him, but it managed to wrap its slender body around Godzilla's torso, constricting him like a python and pierced Godzilla's thick hide with the scythe end of the tail on his back, causing Godzilla to roar in pain as the parasite's partner flew above Godzilla's head and clawed its talons at his face, trying to scrap his eyes out to blind him for an easier kill, as Godzilla roared even further from the sharp talons piercing his hide, causing Godzilla to bleed from his head due to the numerous scratches.
Seeing Godzilla in big trouble, Mothra chirped at Anguirus to help Godzilla and that she would get the tree off Rodan, as the ankylosaur curled up into a ball and rolled towards Godzilla's aid, and managed to hurl himself up at the bird formed Shinomura, bashing him off of Godzilla and crushed the parasite on the ground, rolling over the creature with his sharp spikes and lacerating several holes onto its body, leaving the parasite flattened on the ground.
Godzilla then turned his head at the Shinomura constricting him when it opened its mouth wide to bite down on Godzilla's head wound, as he charged his atomic breath and exhaled the radioactive breath at the Shinomura, blasting away chunks of its head and making the parasite loosen its grip, giving Godzilla the chance to throw it off and fling the parasite towards the large totem pole and crashed into the wooden pole, which fell right on the Shinomura's exposed wound.
"Oh jeez!" Exclaimed Dipper, as the G-Squad evacuated the last of the tourists out of the surrounding area of the Shack, narrowly avoiding the Shinomura thrown at their general direction. "Watch where you're aiming!"
Godzilla ignored the complaint from Dipper, more focused on taking down the bird formed Shinomura in front, as it got up and regenerated the holes in its body from Anguirus's spikes, screeching at the ankylosaur as he rolled towards the Shinomura. But the parasite managed to flap its wings and avoid the roll attack by flying in the air, while Godzilla blasted more atomic breath at the Shinomura, who dodged the attack and glided above just above Godzilla, using its three clawed tail to try to grab the dinosaur's face, while Godzilla sunk his powerful jaws into the parasite's tail, yanking the Shinomura up and slamming it onto the ground, and stomped on its tail so it wouldn't squirm away and used his atomic breath on the bite wounds to burn its tail, with the Shinomura pulling and ripping away from the trapped tail, making it screech in pain as it flew off up in the air.
The tail underneath Godzilla's foot then began to dissolve into tiny black and blue cells that resemble starfish, as they crawled away from Godzilla and towards the downed Shinomura by the totem pole, forming into the large head wound of the downed parasite to heal it and give it enough strength to get up, throwing away the totem pole as it stood up using its wings and faced the G-Squad, lowering its white glowing eyes at the shocked humans.
"THIS WAY!" Shouted Stan to the G-Squad, as they began to run away with Stan.
Deciding that Godzilla would be trouble with the rest of the Kajiu around yet not wanting to leave without some form of nourishment, the Shinomura extended its tentacle limbs at the fleeing humans, managing to grab Dipper and Wendy with each limb and coiled around their torsos, preventing them from struggling from the tight grip as the Shinomura flew up in the air with its partner flying above it, making Dipper and Wendy panic as they struggled to break free while they were raised up in the air and dropped their hats on the ground.
"HELP!" Screamed Dipper, as Soos, Mabel, and Stan looked in horror as the Shinomura flew up in the air, unable to find a way to get the two humans down safely.
Rodan heard the screams for help as he saw Dipper and Wendy captured by the Shinomura, motivating him to flap his wings and soar up in the air, flying straight towards the flying parasites in Mach speed, readying his own sharp talons as he used them to tear off the tentacle limbs and fling them up in the air with Dipper and Wendy, who screamed as they were flung up in the air like ragdolls, the bird formed Shinomura managed to grab the humans first with his talons, keeping them in a steady grip on each of its legs as it began to fly away with the humans while Rodan chased after them.
Godzilla, seeing the Shinomura fly right past him, enraged that the parasite was getting away with Dipper and Wendy, charged his atomic breath as much as possible, taking good aim at the flying parasite and unleashed a more concentrated blue ray of his atomic breath at the Shinomura, managing to blast off the parasite's legs and cause most of the starfish parasites to be obliterated or dissolve back into the Shinomura, while Dipper and Wendy began to plument to the ground and screamed off the top of their lungs.
Luckily, Rodan was close behind the fleeing Shinomura and dived down towards the humans and picked them up just in time, as Wendy managed to grab onto Rodan's neck while Dipper clinged onto Wendy for dear life, as Rodan began to fly back to the Mystery Shack, but the Shinomura, enraged that their prey had gotten away and refusing to go hungry, flew back towards Rodan and formulated a plan.
The Shinomura with the scythe like tail formed its tail back to normal, but extended its length while the bird like Shinomura copied its partner's form, going back to its normal form with an extended tail as it followed Rodan close behind, while Godzilla charged his atomic breath to let out another concentrated beam at the Shinomura. However, he hesitated when they flew too close to Rodan, who had the two Shinomura flying on each side of him, preventing him from escaping in a way that would allow his human companions to hold on.
Once they were close enough, the Shinomura began to dive down towards Godzilla, who finally let out his atomic breath at the pair, but they managed to avoid the blast and circled around Godzilla close in the air, preventing him from being able to properly keep track of both at once and disorientate him. When the timing was right, the Shinomura closed in on Godzilla, with one parasite wrapping its long tail around Godzilla's upper body and neck, while the other wrapped its tail around his lower body and legs, constricting the dinosaur from any free movement and began lifting the Kajiu up in the air.
While Rodan reached the rest of the G-Squad and set down Dipper and Wendy, who got hugs of relief from Mabel, they turned to see Godzilla being lifted up in the air by the two Shinomura in the distance, as Godzilla roared while trying to break free from their grip, with the Shinomura tightening their grip in response to Godzilla's roar.
"What's their deal with Godzilla?" Asked Dipper to the fairies. "They seem like they only want him."
"Godzilla is their perfect prey. He has more radiation stored in him than any other Kajiu and the Shinomura consume radiation as a main food source." Explained the fairies.
When the Shinomura felt like they had lifted Godzilla high enough, they widened their mouths and bit down on Godzilla's wounds on his head and back that had yet to heal, making the dinosaur roar loudly from the bites on his open wounds, as they began to drain radiation from his body like vampires, Godzilla grew weaker and weaker with each passing second, starting to feel lightheaded and even lose consciousness from losing his radioactive energy.
"Godzilla!" Exclaimed Dipper, as Rodan soared back into the air to try to come to Godzilla's aid, but he was not sure if he could get there in time.
As Godzilla began to slip into unconsciousness, he felt a flame burn in his heart, the flame of determination and the will to live, he would not let some flying bugs take him down, and he remembered the words Stan said to him back at the Mystery Shack.
"Godzilla, king of the monsters!"
His plates began to glow blue once more, but not to fire his atomic breath, as his plates grew even brighter than ever, emitting radioactive heat that began to sear the flesh of the Shinomura, who still held their grip despite the heat, but it would be a grave mistake on their part to not let go because of their hunger, as Godzilla began to emit atomic energy from every inch of his body, the nuclear power that the Shinomura had so desperately wanted turned against them as Godzilla flashed the energy from every direction, not just loosening the Shinomura's grip but also incinerating many of the small starfish parasites on their tails.
Godzilla then had to react quickly as he began to fall, and managed to grab the two Shinomura by their heads before they could fly away and began to plummet into the ground below, facing the two parasites below him to use them to break his fall, as the Kajiu crashed down so hard into the ground, it had created a large crater of broken land and shattered rock, as the human group watched in shock and ran towards Godzilla, with the panicked tourists following behind to see if it was all over.
The humans then stopped when they saw the bodies of the two Shinomura get thrown out of the crater, they were still alive, but their bodies were severely mutilated as they both got themselves merged together by accident, as their starfish colonies started separating away and merging back properly to their respective forms.
Godzilla then rose from the crater, staring right at the wounded Shinomura and charged his atomic breath as much as possible, and fired another concentrated beam of atomic energy at the regeneration parasites, incinerating the starfish creatures that formed too late.
"SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH!"
All the parasites could do was let out one last screech as they were incinerated by the radioactive beam, unable to form back in time and except their fate as failed predators, while Godzilla let out his victory roar over the parasites.
"SKREEEEOOOOOOOONK!"
The humans just stared in amazement, with the G-Squad cheering for Godzilla's victory while Stan looked over to the tourists, who were amazed and shocked at what they just saw, as Stan thought of an idea that he hoped would work.
"And that is why Godzilla is the true king of monsters!" Said Stan, keeping up the act he was doing earlier. "Don't you worry about what just happen here folks, it was all part of the new show I had planned the whole time. Can you feel the fear and amazement? The thrills and chills? The Goosebumps on your skin? Thank you all for your participation, in our new mystery attraction, THE TITANS OF OLD!"
The tourists then broke out in an excited frenzy, overjoyed at what they saw as they waved their cash to Stan who gladly accepted the tips, getting so much money that he couldn't even hold it all in the jar he had.
Godzilla however, was not feeling too good about all this, as he began to limp his way back to the Shack, raising concern to the G-Squad and his Kajiu friends, but Godzilla brushed off his friend's concerns as he limped I way back to the Shack, clearly in pain that he was trying to hide as everyone followed him close behind, but all that mattered to Godzilla was that he defeated his foe and claimed another victory and proved himself worthy of his new title.
King of the Monsters.
