Chapter Six: Godzilla Vs Gorgo
Sydney, Australia, 5 months prior...
Max and Maz Marsh were twins, they grew up in Sydney, Australia and were always eager to find an adventure. That is, until adventure found them first...
Max sat in front of the television, watching the footage of the battle in San Francisco for the tenth time. He couldn't get his head round it no matter how many times he watched the recording. How could giant monsters be real? what do they want? He thought to himself as he watched a birds' eye view of a massive creature bursting through the Golden Gate Bridge.
Maz walked into the room, throwing his jacket across the room towards the laundry pile he had built, he strode right past his brother and slumped onto the couch, getting out his phone. "hey, you mind turning that down? that roar is already givin' me a headache!" He said as he logged onto his Facebook account.
"sure, whatever." Max replied, picking up the remote and sarcastically dropped the volume to zero."Not that much, Max!" His brother winced. "What are you doing, anyway?" Max asked as he turned off the TV and leaned over to look at Maz's phone. "Facebook updates. I'm uploading that video of you trying to jump the ditch on your bike." He quipped, grinning. "nah, thats' not fair! you dared me to do it. Besides, that wasn't even my bike, it was yours that had the front wheel bust off." Max countered, feeling stupid for doing that stunt a few weeks back.
"Hey, Who put up that I use a nightlight!?" Maz yelled in embarrassment, "...and thats'; why you dont mess with the legendary Max Marsh!" Max roared as he leapt off the sofa, laughing hysterically. Maz stood, putting his phone down, grinning mischeviously before lightly headbutting his brother, who yelped in surprise, followed by a comical outburst of laughter.
Their laughter was cut short by a deafening boom that shook the apartment. The two opened the door and looked up and down the hallway. A second crash brought the roof in a few apartments down the hall, and to the brothers' astonishment, a massive foot rose from the rubble and continued onward. Max and Maz panicked before slowly advancing down the hall to the hole in the building. Maxs' eyes widened in horror as he looked at the city below him, the entire place was left in ruin in a trail of destruction.
The two brothers traced the path of devastation towards the river where a massive dinosaur like creature stood, roaring violently. "Please do not tell me that I am looking at a monster." Max sad to himself, mesmerised by the sight. "C'mon, lets' get a closer look!" Maz shouted, grabbing his brother by the arm and running back up the hallway to the fire exit. They chased the monster down the docks towards Watsons Bay, where the creature stood on the coast, looiking out to sea. A massive set of spines shot out of the water as Godzilla stood up in the water and roared at the other monster.
Godzilla fought the creature which was later named 'Gorgo' after a local legend. The battle raged on for hours as many landmarks of Sydney were thrown into ruin, Eventually, Godzilla managed to defeat Gorgo as he picked up the beast and threw it across the city, where Gorgo landed on an apartment block and died as the area exploded from the impact.
Now, with nothing left in Sydney, Max and Maz Marsh went to college in New York and studied Biology and Zoology as they prepared to follow Godzilla like storm chasers. They tried to sneak into Area 51 and were arrested. upon leaving, they met an engineer called Jackie Jay, who helped them secure a good research lab.
After discovering many new theories about kaiju, the UN approached the three with an offer to join an elite special forces group who followed Godzilla to study his behaviour and keep him away from heavily populated areas.
