Author Note: In this chapter I write myself into the story. I'm usually Jonna, but sometimes I also write about myself in human form, like in this chapter (I had to hit that doctor, it was so damn funny, at least in my opinion).

Kirjoittajan Muistio: Tässä luvussa minä kirjoitan itseni mukaan tarinaan. Olen yleensä Jonna, mutta joskus minä myös kirjoitan itsestäni ihmishahmossa, kuten tässä luvussa (minun oli pakko lyödä sitä lääkäriä, se oli niin kirotun hauskaa, ainakin minun mielestäni).

Disclaimer: I do not own Godzilla or any of the movie monsters that you may see named here.

Erottamislausuma: En omista Godzillaa tai mitään muista elokuvahirviöistä jotka saatat nähdä nimettävän täällä.

Claimer: I DO own Sabina, Susan and my Godzilla-like self, Jonna.

Omistuslausuma: Minä OMISTAN Sabinan, Susanin ja minun Godzillamaisen itseni, Jonnan.

Godzilla's bride

Chapter 2: Reluctant retreat:

Sabina's point of view:
I was awake and listening for a long time after this "Godzilla" had swum away and the sun had set. An hour after his departure, when I didn't see or hear him coming back, and I didn't notice anything disturbing, I closed my eye that had been open a little and fell asleep.

I had a dream for the first time after waking up from the dormancy. It was a nice dream at first, but it became oppressive in the end.

I dreamed of my mate, of the times before his disappearance, and of the things that would have happened, if he had been there when Susan hatched from her egg, ate her first meal, took her first step, spoke her first word. I lived in the dream without remembering the present moment and the real situation of things.

In my dream I spoke to my mate, I touched his arm, I called him by his name. And he listened, he answered to me, he took me in his arms and gave me a kiss every morning and evening and always when he just felt like it.

And for me he was alive during that dream. I saw, heard, felt, smelled and tasted him.

We swam in the sea, we hunted and played under the water and we danced across the waves when we raced playfully to the shore. We slept and sometimes also stayed awake under the bright starry sky, on the beach, on meadows, in pits in the ground, in sheltery groves and random empty caves. We saw the sun rises and sets, the sun shine and storms, cloudy days and the change of seasons. And we saw when Susan grew and became stronger, wiser and more beautiful.

When in the dream we reached time similar to the present moment, for some reason I came to think, that I wish this dream would never end. Until then I had thought the dream was real, but along that thought I remembered the truth and realized I was dreaming. Was annoyed, but I didn't care about it much. I just hoped that I'd get to dream about that happiness a little longer. But my hope was futile. The dream changed from pleasant to unpleasant.

Suddenly I saw from the side, as if with someone else's eyes, when I stood on the beach with my family. The picture stopped and from left to right swept a grey wave, like a curtain being pulled in front of a window, which wiped out of sight everything else except for me. There was no ground, no sky and no horizon; there was only a steady greyness, which turned into black darkness.

From the darkness appeared around me that hill on which I was sleeping, but the scenery was mainly black, grey and white, and those colours that were left were very dark, almost tinted black. And Susan wasn't there, and I wasn't there sleeping, I stood on top of the hill looking at the city, wherefrom I had come there.

The city was greyer than when I was there. I still saw as if with someone else's eyes, how I walked to the city. A spooky silence prevailed everywhere and made me nervous. I saw when I walked to the city. At the same speed as I passed the buildings, they started crumble and fall apart behind me.

Fearing the buildings might collapse on me; I increased speed and started running. The buildings collapsed behind me at the same speed as I ran past them. Then I came to a street, which seemed familiar. I stopped as if I had run against a wall and the buildings stopped collapsing.

I realized I was standing in the same spot as that guy, who called himself Godzilla, had stood when I saw him for the first time. I walked to the spot, where I and Susan had been on that moment. I turned to look there, where that Godzilla-dude had stood.

I felt, that here was something that I had to see. I blinked my eyes and when my eyes opened, the city around me was completely destroyed and only some ruins stuck out from amongst the dust and junk. I turned around. How was I supposed to find from this mess that, what I was supposed to see?

I looked down and I saw something red in amongst the dust. I bent down and picked it up. It was that fabric roll, from which I had taken a hair band to Susan. Suddenly I felt, that I wasn't alone.

"Sabina?" asked one voice I knew well empty of emotions and tired, and I turned to look back in there where that Godzilla-dude had stood. My beloved mate stood in that same spot, looking down and seeming as tired and abandoned as any creature can look like.

I ran to him and tied my arms around his chest. He hugged me like always, but he felt so terribly cold. He whispered tiredly into my ear: "Sabina? You must understand, I am officially dead. You remember when the Elders decided so. You must go on with your life."

"I know, but in my dreams you are still alive," I said, let go of him and I took a step back to look him in the face. At first he avoided eye contact, but then he sighed and raised his head and looked me in my eyes.

His eyes were pure white. I stepped back shocked. He said: "No Sabina, you must go on with your life. You don't have any alternatives."

His eyes changed into normal and he pulled me in his arms. This time he felt warm. He gave a kiss on my cheek and whispered into my ear: "You don't need to forget me and my love for you, but you must accept things as they are. Will you promise to me, that you do as I say?"

I managed to nod. He smiled and said: "Goodbye Sabina, my beloved." He disappeared and I fell on my knees. I stood up and started walking to that hill, where I slept.

I had taken two steps, when I heard that Godzilla-dudes voice behind me: "Why don't you come to Monster Island?"

I turned to look. He too was standing in that same spot, where my mate stood a moment ago.

What kind of dream was this? Why did my dream revolve around that one spot, was there something special about it?

This started to be frightening. So I did what I always do when I'm afraid. I attacked.

I jumped towards that Godzilla-dude; I hit and kicked him shouting as loud as I could: "Leave me alone!"

He moved so fast, that I didn't even have time to see, when he grabbed with one hand from both of my wrists and lifted me up, so, that only the claws of my feet scratched the ground. With his left hand he supported my neck so, that looked him straight in the face.

I tried to use my beam weapon, but I wasn't even able to open my mouth. I was terrified and I tried to get loose from his grasp, kick him, use my beam weapon, anything.

That Godzilla-dude tried to calm me down by saying: "You don't need to fight against me, I'm not going to hurt you."

Then he laid me down and set me in a curled up sleeping position. I wasn't able to move even though I tried. He patted me on my shoulder and told me to rest. Then I heard a thud from somewhere and I was able to move again.

I raised my head, closed my eyes so that I wouldn't be blinded from my own beam weapons brightness and used my beam weapon at full power. When hearing rumbling instead of a pained roar I reduced my beam weapons power and opened my eyes a little, expecting to see that guy.

I saw the city intact, the colours normal and the stars bright. I stopped using my beam weapon and opened my eyes completely. It took a moment, before I realized I had woken up. My beam weapon had destroyed completely six buildings and damaged at least eight or ten other buildings.

Susan slept peacefully next to me. I smelled her hair and licked her cheek a couple of times to make sure, that she really was there. Susan moved slightly in her sleep, but didn't wake up.

I glanced around, but I didn't see anything unusual, so I raised my eyes towards the stars, which I liked so much. I looked to the sky and searched from there one star, that I liked especially much.

That one that is always in the north. I don't remember its name right now. Sometimes I remember it, sometimes I don't. I'm not very interested of its name, as long as it stays in its place in the sky.

I yawned and glanced at Susan. She looked so sweet when sleeping. I licked Susan's cheek once more and laid my head down. I closed my eyes and yawned once more, before I fell asleep.

I had slept only a short moment, when the same banging and whistling, that I had heard earlier in the day, began. The ammos hit painfully my skinny back. I shrieked from pain, at the same time waking up Susan.
The fire continued without a break. I roared from pain and rage when I turned to look at the attackers, the humans. A big mistake.
Some of the ammos hit right under my eyes detaching my scales, breaking my skin and fragments flew into my eyes and sank into the sensitive skin surrounding my eyes. I was completely blinded, in pain and terrified, and I wasn't able to fight without seeing my enemy.

So I gave up my pride and sent a subsonic message, calling for help that Godzilla-dude, who had promised to keep an ear open. I knew, that it would take some time, before the message would reach him, but I could wait, until he would arrive.
I knew, that the humans couldn't hear my subsonic messages low frequency vibrations, but they might see the air vibrating from the intensity of my message. That worried me a little, because one can never know, what those crazy humans invent in their small heads.

Some human points of views:

In a hospital in the next city:
"What's wrong with this patient?" asked the male doctor from a nurse.

The patient was a 12-13 years old blond-haired girl. Probably a European or an American immigrant. The girl was unconscious.

"Some woman found her unconscious on a bench when escaping from the red Godzilla from the next city. The woman was among the last evacuees. She had to leave her things in order to be able to carry the girl to safety into this city." answered the woman, whom the doctor had spoken to.

"Have you examined the girl? Did you find any identification papers?" the doctor asked.

"I have examined her, but I didn't find anything. No papers telling about her and no signs of violence or getting hurt, that could cause unconsciousness. She doesn't seem to be in coma, but you can't wake her up. She reacts to pain, if you pinch her arm, and she reacts to touch. I have never seen anything like this." said the nurse.

The doctor thought for a moment and said: "Take a blood sample and search for anything that could cause that kind of unconsciousness."

"All right" answered the nurse.

An hour later:
"Did you find anything from that blood sample?" the doctor asked.

"No. Besides slightly low blood values and a small underweight there should be nothing wrong with the girl. She just seems to be in a very deep sleep." the nurse answered and glanced at the girl sleeping in the bed.

The doctor went next to the girl's bed, took a small lamp out of his pocket and lit it saying: "I'd better look at her a bit more closely."

He laid his fingers on the girl's face intending to open her other eye. The girl's eyes flew open.

She sat up quickly and threw the blanket off herself, turned and punched the doctor on her right side to his mouth with her bony fist. Then she dropped on her back on the bed and kicked on the doctor's cheek with her left foot, rolled over to the other side of the bed and ran to the corner grabbing a chair when still on her way.

In the corner she stood with her back towards the wall, slightly crouched and the chair lifted up to shoulder height, ready to hit anyone or anything, that would come too close. She shouted something and her thick accent revealed that she wasn't an American, and not an immigrant.

"Calm down, you're safe" said the nurse.

"She is, but what about me?" muttered the doctor with a sour look on his bloody face.

"Where am I and why?" the girl asked and put the chair down.

"Come with me, lets drink something when I explain" said the nurse and lead the girl to the personnel's break room. The doctor went to have his face fixed.

Half an hour later in the break room the girl had a half empty tea cup in her hands after listening the nurses and now "fixed" doctors explanation. A small TV in the corner showed the news channel.

A news reporter was telling about the red Godzilla: "According to eyewitness reports the red Godzilla has been seen with two red infants. The smaller one of the infants seems to have disappeared when the red Godzilla was in the city. The army is preparing an attack against the red Godzilla outside the city. The attack should begin at midnight. The officials and the experts have no explanation, why Godzilla didn't attack red Godzilla."

The girl drank her tea and said: "I have to go back to that city."

The doctor and the nurse shouted simultaneously: "Are you crazy? There is red Godzillas and an army that is going to attack soon! You CAN'T go there!"

The girl smiled widely and said: "Yes, I am crazy, thank you for asking. Yes, there is red Godzillas and YES, I CAN go there. It takes a little bit more than an army and a few Godzillas, whether they were red, green or black and blue, to stop me from going there. Thanks for the tea."

And the girl left.

Around 23.45, at the attack scene:
Tanks, cars and soldiers were moved in their positions for the attack. All unnecessary noise was avoided, so that the red Godzilla and its infant wouldn't wake up and attack.

Everything went well until one soldier tripped on his open shoelace. The man managed to stay on his feet, but he dropped his weapon: "Thud!"

The red lifted its head up and fired with its beam weapon straight forward, into the city. All movement and sound stopped. Many soldiers were glad, that the attack would be made from behind.

The red stopped firing the city, sniffed its infant and glanced around itself. Everyone stayed still. The red looked to the sky for some time, probably searching for the cause of the sound, some soldiers thought.

The red yawned, glanced at its infant and seemed to give a lick on its cheek. Then the red Godzilla laid its head down, yawned and fell asleep again.

The attack preparations continued.

On the other side of the city, a blond haired girl sneaked into the city and disappeared from sight into the shadows of the night and on small side streets.

At 24.00, at the attack scene:
Everything was in its position and ready for the attack. The red infant was meant to be separated from the adult and caught for research, if possible. If the infant would escape, it should be left alone, so that its behaviour could be studied in natural environment.

Finally the order to attack was given. All the weapons started to fire.

Godzilla's point of view:

After getting to the island, I found everyone else waiting for me. I would have wanted to go to sleep, but others, including Junior, wanted to hear what has happened. So I told them, but I shooed Junior further away saying, that this is a grownup-business and that I would explain it to him later.

We gathered into a small, tight, so that Junior wouldn't hear. When I had told what I had to tell, we discussed about that, what should be done. We decided to do what Sabina had said. To leave her alone, until she would call for help.

Though we also argued during the discussion, and for example Mecha-Godzilla said, that we "organic monsters" behave sometimes very strangely because of our instincts, to which Rodan answered, that Mecha-Godzilla itself behaves sometimes very strangely because of his programming. When we were finally done with talking, we separated and we left each to our own direction.

As I walked with Junior towards our usual sleeping place, I explained to him as simply as possible what had happened.

In Junior's opinion it was a little odd, but he accepted my explanation. He fell asleep as carefree and as quickly as always. I was tired, but it took some time, before I managed fall asleep. And when I slept, I slept a black, dreamless sleep. Good so, because this days events would have been too much, if I still had dreamt about them to top it of.

I woke up after midnight when I heard Sabina's subsonic message. After listening the short call for help and an explanation of the situation, I took Junior in arms and carried him to Rodan.

I woke up Rodan and explained what had happened. She stayed keeping an eye on Junior and waiting for me. And I started swimming towards the city.

There I rumbled again through the city. This time I didn't mess up the place as badly, because most of the buildings in my way were already broken.

On the other side of the city I stopped when I saw Susan struggling in a steel net and a group of soldiers in cars all over Susan. I used my beam weapon to destroy them and went to tear the net open.

I destroyed the rest of the army that was left and walked to Sabina. Sabina was unconscious and the skin around her eyes was so badly damaged, that her eyes had swollen shut.

I thought that Rodan could help Sabina better than I can and lifted Sabina on my back. I pulled her arms around my neck and held her wrists with my hand and I reached out my left hand to Susan, telling her to follow.

Susan took hold of my hand and we started walking through the city. Somewhere around the centre a shadow flashed above us. Then that shadow came down, taking hold of a buildings wall and sliding down it, leaving deep marks in the buildings wall.

It was another female infant, smaller than Susan, but it looked like it had eaten better. Susan ran to hug this other girl: "Jonna! You came back!"

With a mischievous grin on its face this other one said: "Of course, I promised, that I will come back. I just didn't say when. It could as well have been five minutes after I left as a hundred years after this."

Susan let go of the girl and came to hold my hand. The girl looked at me in the eyes and said: "Nice to meet you Godzilla, I am Jonna. I'd shake you hand, but you seem to have your hands full. I have been in Sabina's and Susan's company most of the time after they woke up from the dormancy, even though I'm not related to them."

I was astonished and I asked how she knew my name. Jonna explained: "I'm originally a human from another dimension, but I'm able to travel to other dimensions and worlds with the power of my mind and to choose my form when being in other worlds. My real name is Johanna, but that's my name ONLY in my human form, when I'm in this form my name is Jonna, because then I'm a different person. And the different name is caused also by that, at my powers don't work in my own world, so I have to define myself in a different way in a different world."

"Well, we are leaving now to Monster Island, if you come along, follow me," I said and left. Jonna followed a little further back. We swam to Monster Island and I carried Sabina to Rodan.

Rodan cleaned Sabina's wounds and put a bandage on Sabina's eyes. Other wounds would heal with rest and good food.

Sabina was almost in a starved condition after her dormancy. That's why she had so much wounds, and that's why they didn't heal as quickly as my wounds.

I woke Junior up, so that he would walk home with me, I lifted Sabina back on my back and I told Susan, Jonna and Junior to follow me. They talked on the way and got to know each other. I thought that Junior is glad to get friends, who would play with him, even though they were girls.

Back at home I put Sabina down near the pond, because the ponds water has healing qualities. Susan curled up next to Sabina and fell asleep.

I laid down on my regular place two-three hundred meters further away from the pond and Junior came next to me. Jonna curled up between me and Sabina over a hundred meters away from both of us.

I fell asleep a little after Junior, and the last thing I remember before falling asleep is Jonna's accurate, judging look.

Review Responses:

NocturneD and US Ranger – Thank you!

Korean Pearl – Thank you! As you can probably see, I decided to copy your habit to post review responses. I think review responses should be more common, the readers get a better connection to the story, if they get a response to their review. I hope you keep liking this story, because it's going to be the longest thing I've ever written before.

Queen Ghidorah – I agree. In my opinion, people should not consider Godzilla as a big mindless animal just because he's scaly and has a tail and can't speak human language.

I think that's the biggest mistake a human can make when judging other creatures. We don't know how smart they are or what kind of language they have. If we are supposed to be so intelligent, why can't we learn to understand the songs of birds and whales?
To answer your question about Rodan being female I have to tell a little bit more than your question asked. Originally, me and my friend Jarkko came up with the idea for writing stories about Godzilla, when we played with his Godzilla action figures.
We wanted Rodan to be female, but because Rodan in the movies is a male, we decided this "our" Rodan his little sister. This way both this Rodan and the movie-Rodan have approximately the same relationship to Godzilla and Junior.
I'm not sure will I write about the movie-Rodan, but if I do, I will refer to him as Radon, like his name was written in the last movie that I saw (yesterday).
