Chapter 2, after some delay, I'll admit, but I've been away for a week. Enjoy.

And now, there shall be exposition! Yay exposition!

G-CELL

"That's… My blood," Takuya repeated, staring up at the screen.

"Correct," Gondo nodded slowly.

"But… the… stuff…" Takuya stuttered, "That's not possible."

"We acquired a sample of your DNA a few years ago," Gondo explained. "It took us a while to make sure we were analysing the right thing, but… now we've finally found him."

"I'm standing right here," Takuya reminded him dryly.

"I don't mean you," Gondo answered, "I mean Godzilla."

The entire room went silent.

"Godzilla," Takuya repeated. "Wait a minute…"

"It's you, Takuya," Gondo said slowly. "That's where he went. Godzilla, and all the others. Anguirus. Mothra. Rodan. Megalon. Every single Kaiju on Earth vanished all those years ago… and it took us all this time to figure out where they went."

"Wait, wait, wait," Akane spoke up, "They… all of them… are in Takuya?"

"Of course not," Gondo shook his head, "Just the one. The rest… well, it's rather complicated."

"They're not necessarily 'dead'," Zera began, "It's more like they were… sealed. Locked away, every last one."

"In what?" Takuya insisted, "If Godzilla's in me, then…"

"The others," Gondo answered, "Are in the G-Cells."

"G-Cells?"

"That's what we call them." Gondo explained. "Perhaps we should show you."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The door slid open, revealing the storage room within. Gondo stepped forward, removing one of three canisters from the shelves.

It was a short, thick cylinder, capped with metal at each end, and a short of oval shape. Inside, it was filled with a clear green liquid, with a black sphere rolling gently in the middle. It looked to be about seven inches from one end to the other.

"This," Gondo lectured, "Is a G-Cell. It contains what appears to be the genetic information for one Kaiju."

"So you took samples or something?" Akira asked, taking down another of the capsules and turning it over in his hands.

"We didn't create them," Zera answered. "In fact, we have no idea who did. All we know is that these turned up when the monsters disappeared… and they're alive."

"…What?" Takuya asked sceptically.

"We detected brainwaves coming out of each one," Gondo explained. "They perfectly match those of the Kaiju. It's like they're… in there somehow."

"Must be a tight fit," Akira thought out loud, examining the black sphere in the centre of the G-Cell and tapping the side with his fingertip.

"Please don't touch that," Gondo instructed. Akira was clearly surprised, briefly fumbling the G-Cell before placing it back on the shelf.

"The object in the middle is the nucleus," Gondo nodded to the G-Cell in his own hands. "It contains the actual genetic information."

"You've got three," Akane noted. "So which… or who… what Kaiju are in these, then?"

"Mothra, Anguirus…" Gondo pointed to the shelves, then to the one in his hand, "And Godzilla. We found Godzilla and Anguirus' G-Cells in the same place, and Mothra's, as we expected, was on Infant Island… along with the twins."

"Twins?" Akira asked curiously. "As in…"

"No way…" Akane shook her head. "Holy…"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Takuya, Akira, Akane," Zera beamed, "This is Moll and Lora. Collectively known as the Cosmos."

The two tiny, female twins on the desk smiled up at the three gaping teenagers. They stood side-by-side, each with black hair tied back in a ponytail. They wore skirts and sleeveless tops, though not overly revealing, and each had a band on their outside arm. The only notable difference between them was that one wore yellow and the other blue.

"Hello," They smiled, speaking in perfect unison.

"Whoa…" Takuya gaped, "They're the…"

"We are the Cosmos," The twins confirmed. "I am Moll," one explained, "And this is Lora."

"They're… six inches tall," Akira shook his head.

"Alright," Takuya finally growled, "That's enough riddles. I want answers. Now."

"Six inches tall…" Akira gasped.

"We know you must have many questions," the Cosmos explained, "But we can explain."

"Just six inches tall," Akira continued.

"You'd better," Takuya snarled, "Because I have had enough of this!"

Takuya spun round, his hand reaching out grasp at Gondo's throat.

"Tell me what is going on," Takuya snarled, his orange eyes, "Tell me what I am, or I swear I will tear this place apart, starting with you!"

"Takuya!" Akira and Akane shouted at once.

"Dude, chill!" Akira insisted, "Just…"

"Takuya, please!" Akane pleaded, "Calm down… let him go!"

With a slight grunt, Takuya released his grip on Gondo's neck.

"I'm not your enemy, Takuya," Gondo said as he rubbed his painful neck, "But someone is. Somebody else knows about this."

"Who?" Takuya demanded. "Who attacked me?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"His name is Zaine," Gondo handed Takuya the photo of the man with tanned skin and combed-back black hair.

"Wait, wait, wait," Akane started, "As in, Zainecorp?"

"A major biological research company," Zera nodded. "It seemed to be legitimate, but it seems that Zaine has found out about the G-Cells."

"He already found at least one before we could get to it," Zaine nodded. "And we don't know which Kaiju it contains. Could be any of them."

"Ogata," Takuya spoke up, attracting the attention of the entire room. "It was Ogata. I'm sure of it."

"No way," Akane shook her head, "So Ogata's…"

"He now has the power of whichever Kaiju's DNA was contained in that cell," Gondo confirmed. "And there's only one person that we could go to." He turned to Takuya again. "You."

"You mean Godzilla," Takuya looked down at himself. "Holy Shit…"

"This G-Cell," Gondo held the canister towards Takuya, "Only seems to have a minimal amount of Godzilla's genetic structure. Far less than the others have of Anguirus and Mothra. And that's because the rest of him… is in you."

"Why?" Takuya demanded, "Why me? How did he even get in there?"

"We don't know," Gondo admitted. "But please, Takuya. People are going to die."

"Not my problem," Takuya answered sharply. "In case you haven't noticed, the two people standing next to me are the only ones apart from my mother who gave a rat's ass about me."

"Please," Gondo insisted. "If you know this Ogata, he…"

"He almost killed Akira," Takuya snarled. "And nobody… no punk, no monster, no punk-monster, does that to one of my friends and gets away with it. Nobody."

Takuya reached forward and grabbed the G-Cell.

The canister filled with bright, green light, shaking in Takuya's grip as the light poured into his hand and up his arm.

Takuya stumbled and fell, collapsing to the floor as Akira and Akane rushed to support him, and the dead G-Cell lay on the floor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, maybe Takuya was kind of jerk-ish towards the end there. But Godzilla himself was never overly fond of humans in general, and Takuya is for all intents and purposes a human Godzilla.

Anyway, next chapter has something I've been dying to post.

All reviews welcome!
