Ready for this chapter? I've been waiting to write this one for a time, since the Destroyah and Bagan match, to be precise. We have a super powered moth that is supposed to be earth's guardian, and we have a space cyborg that is supposed to have been able to kill anything, only failing due to minor, and I mean minor, mis-calculations on his creator's parts.
But here is something different. The Gigan I'll be presenting in this battle is not the Gigan you are familiar with. This is the unveiling of a design I've had for quite some time, but merely perfecting it here and there over the last few months. This is supposed to be the undefeatable cyborg. Interesting what a XX-year old male can come up with, right? Similarly, the Mothra in this battle is supposedly a 'male Mothra' based loosely off the Mothra Leo design form the 1990's trilogy.
So, Mothra, Gigan, New York…what's the worst that could happen? Oh yeah, the city isn't anywhere near evacuated. Enjoy, and HERE WE GO!
New York city at night is little to no different that New York city at day. The city truly never slept, and for that reason, it wasn't odd that people noticed the space ship.
After the battle between Gamera and King Kong, footage of the ship got out of the public, and now, a large majority of the population was in fear of the ship appearing over their city and demolishing a section of it. How wrong they were. When the ship was spotted, with several smoking parts due to the earlier aerial battle with the United State's air force, they began pointing up to it, and instinctively, they began screaming and running away fro it as a large crowd. The ship hovered over a simple building that could easily suffice for his purpose, and beamed right on top of it a giant butterfly like kaiju. Mothra greeted the citizens of New York with a semi-loud chirp, trying to ensure that she wasn't a threat. Some still ran, while others that knew something about kaiju slowed down, realizing that Mothra was a friend to humanity.
Yet this wasn't the traditional Mothra. This one had more of a greenish-looking appearance on and around the pattern of the wings, the segmenting on them quite sharp and exact. It's body was segmented in a head, main body with the abdomen, and a tail. She, or more appropriately, He, had a pair of antennae dangling off the top, while the moth ended in bug-like pinchers, and the eyes glowing Blue-green similarly.
Only for now the ship to relocate to a different location, right in an intersection, and it beamed down something totally different. This was definitely not a familiar kaiju. IT stood on two giant, metal, almost avian feet. The creature, standing humanoid in an upright posture, would have been just as tall as Godzilla, a lean black body with a jagged, whirling buzz saw running down it's chest and stomach. The limbs it sported terminated oddly, as the right one was a dual chainsaw, and the left sported a similar one, but between the giant, whirring blades was a cannon of some sort. The creature had a thick neck, made even thicker by what appeared to be a neck brace around it, sporting a cannon like weapon on either side of the neck. It's avian head was finished off with a metal beak, silver tusks on it glimmering in the night lights, with a downward pointing triangular eye below one jagged horn on the top of it's head. The creature's back had three blood red wings, each divided from the others by a row of black spikes, and a fleshy tail ended with a metal/flesh fused tail tip that had four prongs sticking out of it, the outer two curved inward while the other two stuck straight outward.
Mothra Leo understood the presence of this. Several thousand years prior his ancestor, another Mothra Leo, battled with a similar creature in Japan, as it would of destroyed the planet had his ancestor not stopped it and efficiently destroyed it's remains.
Gigan cried in challenge, the call for war sounding like a metallic screech and, faintly, screams of victims. Mothra Leo responded with her own feeble chirp, very quiet in response. Gigan made the first move, and charged forward, his dual chainsaws roaring to life, and slamming into the building Mothra was on. The insect-like guardian took to the air as the building crashed down onto Gigan, burying him briefly in the structure's rubble.
All of the Mothra's were very calm, quiet, peace loving creatures, and could almost be considered pacifistic in nature, but one thing came truthful, they knew when to fight. And when they did, it wasn't pretty. Mothra swooped down and smacked Gigan on the back, but the robotic wings were sharp to the touch, and just the slight graze hurt the guardian, and she went flying away backwards into the sky, trying to recover her ballast.
Gigan turned around, and fired a thick, crimson red beam form his eye at the target. Mothra instantly regained her speed and direction, the veered to the right, squeezing herself perfectly between to buildings as she glided sideways betwixt them. The beam that was aimed for her flew across and struck a different building, effectively raining debris down on the fleeing and the onlookers. The avian cyborg wasn't wishing to prolong this battle, and switched his searching method to infer-red heat seeking, and noted Mothra Leo's high body temperature on the other side of the row of buildings on his right.
Perfectly timing it, he charged right through one of the human structures, and it shattered right into Mothra's path, and he instantly veered upward and missed the debris onslaught. The guardian flew away, hoping to wind the kaiju as to then give it a sufficient beating. The graceful flight pattern suddenly veered as the same crimson beam flew through the air toward her, and her rapid change in direction caused it to miss her, and knock off the very top part of the Chrysler building, so it slid into the crowd that was there that hadn't even yet took notice of the kaiju battle going on in the city. Mothra hovered in front of the famous, now damaged structure, and in the distance saw one building topple down, then another, followed by another, the line coming closer to him. Suddenly it stopped, and Gigan opened his chest compartments, and a pair of boomerangs flew out, spinning toward Mothra. The twin discs were easily avoided as she flew upward, but the Chrysler building couldn't avoid it so easily, and it struck it in the sides, slicing clean through every support beam on the middle levels, and the rest of the building fell to the side, right on top of another structure, and the debris broke apart and fell downwards.
Gigan roared in anger, then a plume of smoke shot from his feet as rockets installed in his feet forced him upwards, then shutting off as his wings began coasting through a slight air current, and chased after Mothra.
Leo realized that possible danger, but rather then retreat, she spun around while her antennae merged together, and unleashed a bright blue ray of light at Gigan. IT struck him, and forced him to go low, it's right shoulder burnt from the ray. She was now on top, and taking precautions about the knife sharp wings, she collided several times with the kaiju's neck and head, effectively ruining it's light pattern. Gigan slammed right into a subway station, and the ground collapsed as he landed, and his fall was broken by the hard concrete surface beneath the city's subway system. Mothra landed on a building that looked right down onto the kaiju formed crater, and he chirped in victory, then unleashed another beam down into the crater, effectively destroying anything else that should be in there.
But then the ground right on the front section of the building exploded, and it began collapsing. Mothra took to the air, but as she did, a huge blast smacked the falling structure, and clipped her wing, sending her failing about in the sky with a small portion of fire, and the bright blue ball of energy flew into the air, out of sight. Gigan rocketed out of the crater, and aimed his left arm's cannon, firing shot after shot after shot, each of them effectively missing the guardian moth, and smacking the skyscrapers behind her. It was almost pointless, and he powered the canon down, letting it cool as he shot forward, firing a beam now from his triangular eye right at Mothra. It didn't hit her, but effectively regulated her to the lower parts of the sky, literally right above the roads beneath her.
Gigan readied his double bladed chainsaws, then dropped into the ground, inserted them deep into the ground, and spun them about wildly, using it was his own version of some type of railroad track, and he headed straight for the enemy. Despite being grounded, he was picking up on her, and then without warning, he was right behind, and lifted his right arm into the air to cut right down her back. The opponent swooped between two buildings narrowly, and Gigan turned to follow suit, but turned to soon, and slammed right into another skyscraper, this one effectively raingin debris on him for some time.
Mothra Leo flew toward the Empire State Building, scanning the landscape for her opponent. Suddenly, he teleported right in front of her, and fired his beam. This wasn't his red plasma beam that he had been firing, but an anti-matter beam. A hit from that would assure her destruction. Mothra narrowly avoided, and the beam of anti-matter energy struck the famed building, and it was peeled outward layer by layer, the flames and matter/anti-matter reaction demolishing the buildings around it, and expanding outwards and upwards like a humongous Hydrogen bomb without the radiation.
Mothra led Gigan in an aerial pursuit above the burning sky, then without warning, his body changed to a more bluish color, and ceased flying southeast, and he dived straight into the water, Gigan not following, but swooping over the ocean that she dived into. He began taking multiple swipes at her form underwater, but as he was not used to the magnification that the water showed, so his hits were off, confusing the computer that ran his brain. Within minutes, Aqua Mothra flew gracefully underneath the Williamsburg bridge, which was subsequently destroyed by a single plasma vision ray form Gigan. The sharp turn to the west just beyond didn't change the hit and miss run, where they treated the Manhattan bridge with the same show, and afterwards, He shot out of the water beneath him, slamming him upwards and both narrowly missing the Brooklyn bridge which had been just recently repaired after the 'Zilla' incident over 12 years ago. Aqua changed back to Leo, and continued her high-speed avoidance, flying ahead of Gigan back over the exploding New York city skyline, but it wouldn't last long, as he kept shooting plasma beams at her, she was narrowly avoiding each one.
After shooting above the rising and expanding plume of flame form the earlier matter and anti-matter collision, she shot through 45th street on the city's east side, and Gigan followed suit, but wasn't able to avoid structures as gracefully as her, and mowed through the Met Life Building. It trashed it, and then the flames from the earlier anti-matter bomb rolled through, annihilating the rest of the building.
Mothra continued her zoom down Park Avenue, but Gigan was closing. Suddenly, just as he prepared another shot form his left handed gun in between his chainsaws, she shot sideways down East 59th, and emerged at the South eastern corner of New York central Park. She slowed down here, then titled her body upwards, looking for her foe, who suddenly appeared in the skyline above her. Her legs all positioned themselves toward the center of her abdomen, and Gigan readied his cannon again. As that happened, the dual boomerangs came flying in from earlier, and Gigan merely floated above them, and they continued their way. But that distraction was enough, and Mothra unleashed a rainbow colored stream of energy at Gigan, which plummeted him to the ground. Mothra took off again, noticing the rapidly approaching flames again, and Gigan forced himself up, then shot after her, just as the southern corner of the park was consumed.
Quextoyl was quite pleased with this battle. He safely destroyed all aircraft at the La Guardia airport, and was repairing his ship there while looking at the battle through a screen. By looking west he could easily see the flames shooting into the sky from the earlier anti-matter beam. This was a good battle, and he was half glad now that he did it in this populated city.
Mothra then arrived at the city's North most river, and flew over it, switching her direction back to a eastward way, and then ending up over the Bronx. Gigan fired his cannon, and the explosion the ball made with the ground demolished the Yankee stadium that was still a ways off. The rising flames forced her to turn sharply south, and she did so, avoiding the island of Manhattan, which now had no standing building, no living plant, or living human left on it, every portion of it covered in flames.
This course of pattern left her flying over the Bronx, and as she flew over it, she saw off in the distance the same ball that had just grazed her wing earlier that Gigan had shot coming down to the ground. The blast was deadly enough, but with the velocity coupled with it, the impact that landed just about ten miles away form the original shooting location, and it landed on Roosevelt island, and right down the middle, the explosion rocked it, and created a river that split the island in half. Gigan fired a shotgun styled starburst at Mothra's tail, and she was forced to go down low, zooming down 31st street of the Queens, and Gigan followed suit, then cut straight to Jackson avenue, and landed, teleporting himself straight in front of Mothra, and she tried applying the breaks, but was going to fast. She fired the same rainbow beam form her abdomen again, but Gigan followed with another shot form his left hand's gun, and the resulting explosion was like that of an atomic bomb, and explosion destroyed everything from there to 495 highway just south of them.
Mothra shot out of the explosion, and with Gigan still in hot pursuit, she raised her tail, and released some powder meant to unleash electricity, but the electric blots harmlessly bounced off his hide. Gigan refused to say die still, and then landed in Newtown river, and shot his neck cannons, and they wrapped around Mothra's wings, and pulled him to her.
This was it. Mothra was great at aerial dogfights, but hand-to-hand combats, she had not a defense, hope, or a prayer. He reeled her in, to where she was just right in front of him, and Gigan looked down at his foe, and sadistically, almost morbidly, slowly pulled her wings off of her body, racking her body with pain, and he was getting, of all things, ENJOYMENT out of it all! Before long, the stripped kaiju fell on the ground, without either bright wing, and now she was at his mercy of a hopefully quick death. And that is what the cybernetic kaiju provided her with. He switched his beam again to the anti-matter ray, and unleashed it right on Mothra at full blast, Zero-point. The reaction removed any trace of Mothra's existence right then and there, and the explosion expanded to slowly, inexorably, engulf all of Queen's and Brooklyn's north side.
The battle had been long, and tiring, but Gigan had his sadistic pleasures satisfied. He called in victory, hovering over the flames that would have killed him just as well, and then was teleported back onto Quextoyl's ship. The last through that went through the cyborg's head was anticipation of his next battle.
Quextoyl smirked form inside his ship. It wasn't fully repaired yet, but he had one more thing he wanted to do before leaving. His semi-repaired ship flew over the airport he was repairing his ship on, and unleashed a set of MOABS to destroy any air travel inward by annihilating the airport, then a second set later on as he flew over JFK international airport. He was going to remind the humans that his kaiju could annihilate anything, and leave Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn as the strong reminder that wouldn't receive any aid of any sort for at least a year or two. Furthermore, this was his payback of what America's air force did to his ship. He then flew off toward his next destination.
Gigan Vs. Mothra. When I brought this up to my family, my Sister looked on hopefully, but my Mom, who is a Mothra fan also, said 'Bye-Bye Mothra.'. Right then, I knew the battle would have to be in great formation!
Now that we are down to the final 4, tell me who you think will now be called King Of the Monsters! Will it be the legendary ape King Kong, The sadistic cyborg Gigan, or the ultra-powerful Bagan? Or will Godzilla trump all, and still end up as the Kaiju King? One thing is for sure…it won't be easy for any of these kaiju! Read and Review!
