Prepare for the Worst
EDF Mobile HQ, 6 pm;
Val, Greg, and Alex set in a fairly well furnished room. They were currently on a very large aircraft resembling a gigantic cargo carrier. They had been directed to an airport and basically told to wait. "I tell you what, this must be something big for the EDF to activate their mobile HQ. Then again maybe they were just tired of keeping it in storage." said Alex.
"You've heard of this thing?" asks Val.
"Heard of it? I did half the programming for its systems. It was a huge job but I got good pay for doing it."
"What's it for?" asks Greg.
"Its supposed to serve as not only a base of operations but as a safe house for the UN in case of an emergency. It has enough room to house a small army and a large amount of tanks, jets, and whatnot. In addition, its got thirty long range artillery guns, eighteen missile launchers, and four energy weapons. Pretty much it's a flying fortress that protects whatever is in it. It isn't agile or durable enough to take on a kaiju thought except maybe a weaker, ground based one."
"Attention, please report to the assembly room." said a voice over the intercom.
"That's ours cue."
Several minutes later, they walked into the assembly room. It was a large room, a large table set in the middle with five chairs set out. "Hey Alex, long time no see." said a voice behind them. They turn to find a Japanese man standing before them.
"Kuroki? How are you?" asks Alex, shaking Kuroki's hand.
"Good, all things considered."
"Excuse me but can I ask why you've called us?" asks Val.
"We'll get to that, please take a seat."
They do as he asks. "Wait up!" yelled a female voice, a young Japanese girl runs in.
"Glad you made it Miki, take a seat."
Miki does so. "Sorry, nobody would tell me were to go in this place."
"This is Miss Miki Saegusa, top graduate at the ESP research institute in Japan. Miki, this is Alex, Valerie, and Greg Mercer, I'll explain their role when we get to it."
"Hello, I was starting to worry I'd be the only girl here." said Miki with a friendly smile. She holds out her hand.
"Hi and Kuroki, its Val call me Valerie again and I'll tear your lips off." said Val, accepting her handshake.
Alex and Greg do the same. "So you're a psychic too? I can read minds, sort of and hypnotize people." said Greg, happy to meet another psychic.
"Glad to meet you." said Miki.
"Ok now lets move on to why I called you here. At 12:10 today, a nuclear submarine was destroyed in the deep ocean fifty miles south from Japan. There was one transmission before the sub sank, what is on it was very frightening." said Kuroki, he presses a button on the table.
"What is that? No! It can't be!" yelled the recorded voice, Godzilla's roar is heard before the recording stops.
For a few minutes, everyone is speechless. "That roar, was that what I think it is?" asks Greg.
"Yes, we do believe it belongs to Godzilla." said Kuroki.
"That's impossible, Godzilla was killed over fifty years ago by the Oxygen Destroyer. Nothing could have survived that." said Alex.
"He didn't have to. With all the nuclear tests that have been done, another member if the Godzilla species could of easily been created somewhere." said Greg.
"He's correct, there is no way this could be the same Godzilla." said Val.
"Do we know were Godzilla is now?"
Kuroki nods to Miki. She gets up and turns on the large screen on one of the walls. "What you are seeing is a heat sensitive photograph. The large object is what we believe to be Godzilla he is thirty miles south of Japan." said Miki.
"Lets see, if he destroyed the sub at 12:10 and is there now, at this rate he could be in Osaka by tomorrow." said Alex.
"Yes and I'd like to bring up one of your son's theories. He theorized that because Godzilla was created by radiation and uses it in his heat ray, Godzilla would need to somehow absorb it to restore his reserves. Well, the nuclear sub never fired on him and to the best of our knowledge, Godzilla has never encountered a sub of any kind. We believe Greg was correct, Godzilla attacked the sub to feed on the nuclear core. This is also why we believe he's heading for Osaka, a new nuclear power plant was just opened." said Kuroki.
"That would also explain something else, Godzilla should be moving a lot faster judging by what we saw in 1954, he must have moved rapidly until he reached the sub because he sensed food and was hungry. Now that he's full, he's moving slower." said Val.
"Yes, that's why we must set up our counter attack before he makes landfall. We currently have three defenses to stop Godzilla's advance. First is a blockade of Osaka bay. Second is were Alex comes in. We need you to finish the programming of our four anti-kaiju super weapons, the Karyu, the Rumbling, the Gotengo, and the Garuda. It's a big job but all four must be operational if the blockade fails. Third is the most drastic, we will use a device called T.E.M.P.E.S.T."
"Let me guess, weather machine." said Alex.
"Come on Alex, I doubt they'd really make it that obvious." said Val.
"He's right, it is a weather control device. We called it that because we hoped people would think it couldn't be a weather machine because it was so obvious." said Kuroki
"Didn't know what it spelled before you shortened it did you?"
"Yeah."
"Why didn't you just change it?"
"We already had it printed on the machine."
"This is why I travel so much, so I don't have to deal with you guys in the government."
"Anyway, it uses a large energy cannon to affect weather patterns. It went completely online yesterday. One of the reasons we picked you up was because your husbands the chief scientist."
"What?! Why didn't he tell me?"
"Because its beyond classified. It's primary purpose is to bring rain to places experiencing drought or stop hurricanes and serve as a warning to aggressors but its destructive power is endless. Can you imagine what would happen if that kind of power fell into the wrong hands? A country could wipe their enemies off the map or annihilate cities with the push of a button."
"I see your point."
"We need you and your son to plot a course Godzilla might take should our attempts to stop him in Osaka fail."
"Well he might be big but he's still an animal, my guess is he'll head for Tokyo seeing as there must be something about Tokyo that attracted the first Godzilla." said Greg.
"Ok, Alex I'll take you too our weapons and then I'll call Samson to ready T.E.M.P.E.S.T."
Unknown Location, 6:30 pm;
Patrick walks into a dark room. Setting in the shadows was a man with an eye patch and dressed in a strange military outfit. "Patrick, was your mission a success?" asks the man.
"Not entirely. I got some information out of the scientists but that stupid Gordon showed up and nearly cut my head off." said Patrick.
"And the transmitter?"
"In place."
"Perfect, when the time is right, we'll make our move."
Research Site, 6:35 pm;
"I'm sorry General Kuroki but the United States have already ordered us to send a large rainstorm to California to deal with the outbreak of wildfires they've been happening and there's no way T.E.M.P.E.S.T could recharge in time." said Samson.
"Look, Godzilla is a bigger threat than the wildfires and with any luck we wouldn't need the storm but we need to have the option open. Even if we need to use it we'd have to lure Godzilla into its path so not only do we not level a city but so it can reach him in time. We'd need it tomorrow night and it takes the machine six hours to recharge so send the storm to the US at noon then send the big storm that night. We'd lure Godzilla onto an island and keep him there until the storm arrives." said Kuroki over the monitor.
"The closest island that you could escape from in time and that wouldn't send the storm into a populated area would take two days for it to hit him and we'd need a full powered storm to have any hope of killing Godzilla."
"We'd have to keep him at sea until its time, lets just hope it doesn't come to that."
Well there goes another chapter. Once again I have to say, psychics rock! I'm not entirly sure what will happen next chapter.
