Godzilla: The Birth
Chapter 5
The Friends
It was a couple of months after the incident with the snake. Godzilla found himself wandering on his own around the island. He was trying to chew down a tree that he had eaten the branches off of. He gnawed on the thin trunk, but his teeth weren't quite strong enough to break the tough wood. After a frustrated grunt, his spines glowed and he torched the wood in his mouth. The flames weakened it enough to where Godzilla could chew and swallow the rest of the tree with ease.
As he ripped another young tree from the ground to chew on, a strange sound reached his ears. He followed it to a clearing where he saw an uncommon sight. Gojirasaurs were not the only creatures to nest on the island. Godzilla now saw two diminutive representatives of that fact quarrelling with each other.
One was a grey-skinned, four-legged creature whose back was completely covered in spikes. He had a long snout and a crest of spikes over his head. He cried out in a loud resonating bellow as his head was being pecked at by the other creature.
The other was a red-skinned flyer. His stomach was lined with small spikes. Three claws poked from its broad wings that flapped steadily to hold him up. On his head were two curved horns. With his small beak, he was pecking at the other creature.
The ground walker swung his tail at the flyer, who dodged the swipe and then returned to pecking. The spiny one swung his tail again, and again missed. The flyer landed on a large tree, his high pitched caws sounding like laughter as the spiny one tried to stand up and bite at him.
Godzilla watched this quarrel amongst these two other species with interest. Tossing aside his snack, his spines glowed as he spat the fiery substance at the tree where the flyer stood. The wood weakened and caved, causing the flyer to fall forward onto the spiny one's back. He cried out in discomfort as the dull spikes dug into his stomach.
Godzilla laughed hard as the flyer flapped wildly, trying to bounce himself off of the spiny one's back. The other monster then stood up, causing his passenger to fall off and land on his head. Both ground walkers laughed at his misfortune as he struggled to get to his feet.
As Godzilla watched the show with amusement, the shorter ground walker rammed into his side. When he righted himself, he could see the other monster bracing himself for a fight. Never one to pass on a chance to show off his skills, Godzilla roared his acceptance to the challenge. The four-legger ran full force at Godzilla. His feet skidded a couple of yards before his toe-claws caught brace in the ground. He grabbed the spikes of the other's head and began to wrestle with him.
The flyer had gotten up at this point and hovered behind Godzilla, pecking his head to distract him. This allowed the spiny one to tackle Godzilla down. Godzilla struggled under the heavy weight of the spiny one. He managed to roll him to the side and roll out from under him. The flyer shot past, scratching him with his toes as he did. Godzilla swiped at him with his claws, but he continued to dodge.
The spiny one rammed him again. Godzilla hit him with his tail, dazing the shorter monster. Godzilla took this chance to run behind him and grab his tail. He used all of his muscle to spin the creature around in the air, before letting go. The four-legged creature skidded across the ground before coming to a halt. He collapsed from the fright of the fling.
The flyer passed again. Godzilla dodged his claws and flung his tail up, smacking his face. The flyer landed to recover from the blow, but Godzilla ran up behind him and bit lightly into his wing. He swung the flyer around until he released and sent him spinning towards the spiny one.
While both other monsters pulled themselves together, Godzilla just made roars of victory. Both got up and growled challengingly to Godzilla, not willing to give up the fight. Godzilla rushed at them as they got on their hind legs and gave them both the clothesline. All three little monsters fell on their back. Godzilla continued to growl victoriously as he turned and pinned them with his body and tail. The others just groaned out a defeated call.
Later that night, Godzilla, Anguirus and Rodan sat together in the clearing, admiring the night sky. Godzilla gave Anguirus part of a tree he had picked to gnaw on. Rodan brought a killer whale to eat while they sat. Godzilla had impressed the other two greatly, so much so that they followed their instinct to follow the strongest of the group, basically making Godzilla their leader.
As they sat there, they saw something pass in the distance. It looked like a pair of shimmering moth wings were spreading golden light over the sea. Godzilla shot up to get a better look. His keen sight seemed to confirm this idea. There did indeed seem to be a golden giant moth flying across the island. It seemed to be heading to an island some distance away from the nesting grounds. Godzilla watched its flight with awe and amaze.
Calls rang out over the jungle. Each child recognized their parents' calls. Rodan and Anguirus began home, but Godzilla continued to watch the flight of the moth over the seas. Anguirus called to Godzilla, signaling it was time to leave.
As the Moth disappeared in the distance, Godzilla came back to reality and yawned tiredly as he walked back to his home. He turned to look at the far off island. A part of him knew that he would never rest until he one day saw that island. Pushing such thoughts aside, Godzilla followed the continuing calls of his mother and made his way home.
AN. Okay, establishing here the non canonicity of my story. The Angy here isn't the Angy GZ fights in Raids Again.
