Godzilla: The Birth
Chapter 2
The Hatching
Several weeks go by. The eggs remained buried with their mother's corpse laid beside them. The glowing was fairly regular between the two. The glow had increased in intensity over time.
After so much time, one of the two eggs finally cracked. The cracks grew and gave way to clawed foot, hands and a thick tail. From it emerged a smaller version of the mother creature, well over six feet tall. Immediately it is noticeable that there were physical differences between the offspring and its mother that seemed to have almost nothing to do with age. The offspring's skin was a very dark grey-green color. Its claws were not webbed and neither were its toes. Its fins had yet to fully form, yet already they seemed to be made of a bony material rather than the soft tissue of its parent's fins. The eyes were small crimson spheres with large black iris in the center.
The creature got up from the shattered remnants of its egg. It looked arround at the scorched earth around it. The air was still filled with radiation, but the creature seemed unaffected by it. On the contrary, it breathed it in all the more heartily. The creature immediately began looking for others of its kind. It saw the burnt skeletal remains of its mother, but seemed to regard them casually as there was no scent to distinguish the bones as a member of its own species. It didn't notice the other egg buried in the ground. It roared out in a high screech, calling to its kin. Its eyes glowed red as it tried to send a pheromone danger signal.
Receiving no reply and sensing no others of its kind, the creature followed its instincts. It ran up to the ocean. The gills on its neck opened as it dove in. The little creature swam off, not to be seen again for another three years when it would make itself known to the people of a small island, culminating in its attack on and the subsequent destruction of the city of Tokyo and then its horrific death at the hands of a genius who sacrificed himself to save the world from it and himself.
As the creature swam off, it was unaware that only a couple of hours later its sibling hatched. The second creature broke free of its shell. It shared many traits that its brother had, except that its arms were slightly longer and its skin was more of a dark green color than the ashy grey of its sibling.
Like its sibling, the small saurian too called out for help. However, as it turned out, another herd of their kind, not the one its mother came from, had been passing that area, also on their way to their nesting grounds. It so happened that as one came to the surface chasing a pod of dolphins to snack on, it caught the scent of the youngling in danger.
The adult male that caught its scent swam to shore. As it walked up the beach, it took in what it saw. The bones of the parent laid in the dirt and the two empty shells. It began looking for the other infant before concluding that it must have left on its own. The adult regarded the small male infant before him. He was slightly thrown off by the peculiar traits, but recognized the tiny creature as of its own kind.
"Waaahwahhh!" the little one cried in the manner all their offspring did to signal their parent. The infant had imprinted on the adult and he nodded in acknowledgement of this.
The adult nuzzled the baby's face affectionately, as the baby let off a cooing growl of affection for its parent. The child followed the adult into the waves. They joined the rest of the herd, where the tiny saurian was introduced to its foster mother, who was already expecting young of her own. Again, it bonded quickly and found itself in its new family.
Thus began the lives of two creatures. Both orphans, both drastically mutated, both unique. They would change the world in their own ways. They would be the first of a wave of equally strange creatures that would plague humankind.
They would both be known by the same name. They would both ensure that that name lives forever.
That name is…
GODZILLA!
AN. Yeah, these are kinda short. I hope to continue this. If I do, it will follow the second Godzilla. R&R
