Chapter Three: Counter Godzilla Force
12 Hours later, Janjira Air Base, Japan
Technical notes: The Counter-Godzilla Force is an elite unit of individuals who track and study the monsters, founded after the battle of San Francisco, The unit chases Godzilla like beasts and have command over any military units. They work as an equivalent to storm chasers following a tornado, but with Godzilla as their target.
The massive cargo plane descended on the runway as the landing gear lowered from the fusilage. for what seemd like ages, the plane hung above the runway before lurching forward as the wheels touched the ground. Hunter looked down the bay to make sure his car stayed in place. The vehicle was still fastened to the ground, it wasn't going anywhere for now. The plane eventually came to a stop and the ramp lowered. Hunter unbuckled his seatbelt and walked down the ramp, followed by Max and Maz.
Jackie Jay approached the plane, adjusting her purple goggles as se came to greet some of her teammates. "Afternoon!" She called out to Hunter as she saluted the man, "Its' good to be back, JJ" He responded. "I heard from Max that you've got a project you've been working on." He added. Jackie nodded "yeah, right this way, Wolf." The two walked across the airfield as the two brothers; Max and Maz began to make their way to the Main Ops room.
"I, am now please to present to you The Anguirus!" Rosa Nature called out to several news reporters and camera men as she revealed a massive, eight wheeled armored vehicle as military celebration music played on a CD player at full volume. "The most advanced vehicle to go into construction, the Anguirus is a twelve ton tank, which carries one driver plus up to six other passengers into the chaos of chasing a monster. With eighteen individual cameras, we will be able to film a monster fight right from the heart of the battle. Equiped with a high tech Maser Cannon, we won't have to worry about danger as this thing can stop a creature the size of Godzilla with ease."
"Thorn, What are you doing?!" Jackie called out to the scientist, who was clearly trying to show off. "Ah, here is the Legendary designer of the craft here,Jackie Jay." Rosa presented the reporters the designer of the craft. "OI, No cameras!" Jackie roared at the reporters who were barging each other out of the way to get an interview. Hunter groaned and turned of the CD player as Jackie ordered the reporters to leave.
"so this is the Anguirus, huh?" Hunter said, looking at the marvel of a vehicle, "I thought we agreed on no weapons." He pointed to the massive cannon on the back of the craft. "Well the Maser cannons' only for self defence, besides, its' only the equivalent of a big stun gun." Jackie corrected him. "Right, we need to assemble the team." Hunter turned to Rosa. "I need everyone in the briefing hangar in five." he ordered. "Sir, yes sir."
Within minutes, everyone had assembled in the main hangar, sat on folding chairs and crates. Everyone was here, Max and Maz, Jackie, Rosa and Hunters' Brother and Sister; Zack 'Thunder' and Angel 'Phoenix' Storm. Dr Serizawa entered the hangar, followed by Hunter and Admiral Stenz.
"Alright, people, calm down!" Hunter ordered and the room fell silent. Everyone focused their eyes on the screen set up in front of them. The screen came on and the image of a gigantic butterfly like creature filled the screen. "ladies and gentlemen, this is our monster. " Dr Serizawa stepped forward, pointing to the screen. "The creature has a wingspan of around five hundred metres and possesses the ability to override control over missiles. We have decided that naming the monster would be based on that of a legend, similar to Godzilla."
"The ancient Japanese legend says of a giant insect who attacked a human civilisation because they kidnapped its' egg. So we will proceed to name our monster after that legend. We call it...Mothra." Max shot his hand up, "what is it Maz?" The man shook his head, pointing to his brother, "Max sir, hes' Maz. As I was saying, is this gonna be a real chase, or just a hoax?" Serizawa grinned, "well you better be happy then, as this thing is real. It took down two predator drones that were perusing it."
"and at 08;00 this morning, we picked up another signal off the coast of Osaka chances are, Godzilla is aware of what's going on." Hunter cut in, establishing what they were to do. He made sure everyone was listening, especially his older brother, Zack, as Hunter remembered the last time Admiral Stenz tried to get Zack to complete a task, "I am guessing that the two are heading towards each other to fight." A murmur of approval spread round the group as Hunter took lead again. "we estimate that Mothra will arrive in Osaka in about four hours, we will land, board the Anguirus and study the way the two interact. All civilians have been evacuated from Osaka as we speak."
"I have a question for r Serizawa." Max said. "How do I get out of here, cause I am like, super bored!" He joked before being ordered to shut up by Hunter. "alright then, I want full tactical readiness in 30, prep for drop in forty. Now move it people!" Hunter called out over the unit and they began to prepare to face the monsters.
