DJ Rodriguez: Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Now it's time for the Revolution.
Chapter 3: Super Showdown Bowl
Part 1: Die over and over again as slaves or fight and live.
Now I'm sure people would be freaking out after learning that they were movie characters created by an all-powerful golden being and forced to fight in gladiator fights to the death for who knows how long.
The Kaiju, specifically the variants of Godzilla, were not freaking about that. They were angry that they were slaves. They saw themselves as kings not some slaves for entertainment.
The bright side for Heisei Godzilla and the Millennial Godzilla of Operation Final Wars was that they met their sons. Godzilla Junior who was fully grown and the Millennium version of Minilla. There was the Showa Minilla, but his father wasn't with him right now.
They've also all met the other Movie Characters thanks to Nightcrawler from the X-Men franchise. Characters like the Batman and the Joker from the DC movies. The Wolverine, Deadpool, Ironman, the Incredible Hulk and the Black Panther from the Marvel movies. Darth Vader, Din Djarin, Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano from the Star Wars franchise.
The Marvel Godzilla growled at the Hulk and Thor every now and then.
Strangely, there wasn't any variant of the Kaiju the Gojirans knew. Sure, there was King Kong but that was the 2005 version. There were variants of MechaGodzilla though and only the Monsterverse version of King Ghidorah.
The Original Godzilla turned to Rexy, the Tyrannosaurus Rex from the Jurassic Park franchise who sniffed him curiously at his keloid scars. He leaned forward and sniffed her as well as inspect the scars on her neck. The two creatures circled each other briefly before their lips curled upward slightly.
"You know, we should name these guys."
Everyone turned to the speaker. It was Spiderman from The Amazing Spiderman movies. He gestures to the Gojirans nearby. "We can't refer to these guys as Godzilla. We should give them each a name for themselves."
"Well, it could pass the time while we wait for everyone," shrugged April O'Neil from the modern Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies by Michael Bay.
Miki Saegusa from the Heisei Godzilla series walked up to the Original Destroyer of Tokyo. "You are the first Godzilla to appear on the screen," she said in a respectful tone mixed with awe. "You will still be referred to as Gojira." She looked to the other Gojirans. "Is that alright?" she asked.
Most of the Gojirans nodded. Gojira stood his ground against Godzilla Earth, he should keep the Japanese name as his own.
The Hanna Barbra Godzilla and the Godzilla of the Marvel Universe stepped forward. Loki from The Avengers and Buck Kirkman from the Left Behind series stepped toward the two green Saurian Kaiju.
"You will be called Jormungand," Thor declared to the Marvel Godzilla who pondered the name in his head. "For you had survived my hammer where the Midgard Serpent didn't and defeated many of us Marvel characters in your short series."
After a moment, the Marvel Godzilla, Jormungand, nodded his head at the Marvel Norse god of thunder.
Buck Kirkman turned to the Hanna Barbra Godzilla who waited patiently. "How about Leviathan?" he asked. The green Saurian Kaiju superhero nodded his head.
Heisei Godzilla gently pushed Godzilla 2000 and his fellow emerald Millennial Gojiran forward.
Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones called out, "Wait," she walked to the Heisei Godzilla. "I got a name for you. Xiuhcoatl." (1) The Godzilla of the 1990's blinked his yellow eyes before nodding his head.
Daemon Targaryen from House of the Dragon walked up to the twin green Millennial Gojirans. "Vermithor," he said to Godzilla 2000 and turned to the Slayer of Megaguirus. "Dracul." (2)
Phantom, the white eyed Gojiran gestured to the third Millennial Gojiran. "How about Scar?" Parcival from Ready Player One suggested. The Millennial Godzilla looked at his scarred chest before shaking his head.
"Glaurung?"(3) Art3mis from Ready Player One offered. The scarred Gojiran tilted his head in consideration before nodding his head.
The Godzilla of Operation Final Wars saw Katana from Suicide Squad walk in front of him. "Ryuu," she said softly. (4) The final Millennial Godzilla nodded his head once.
The Ruler of Earth and the Destroyer of Hell stepped forward after him.
"Tatsuo," Ip man from the Ip Man franchise said to the first Comic Godzilla. (5)
"Samael," said the Ghost Rider from the 2007/2011 Ghost Rider films to the second Comic Godzilla. (6)
"He will maintain the name Titanus Gojira," Dr. Ishiro Serizawa from the Monsterverse declared for Titanus Gojira.
"Shin Gojira will be Shin Gojira." said a pirate from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
"The same for Godzilla Earth, his son and Ultima," Captain Douglas Gordon from Godzilla Final Wars stated.
Eleven from Stranger Things pointed to the Showa and Millennium versions of Minilla. "We should name one of them too," she said to her father Jim Hopper who nodded in agreement. "How about Max?" she asked pointing to the Millennium Minilla and looking to her friend Max. The girl looked touched at that and nodded.
"You will be Urdur," (7) said Ivar the Boneless from the TV series Vikings Snow Godzilla.
Just then Nightcrawler appeared with Master Yoda from Star Wars followed by Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen and Lex Luthor from DC who keeled over and vomitted on Professor Xavier's from the X-Men prequels lap. "Why couldn't go with the other blue guy?" The DC villain asked, referring to Nightcrawler. "I would have paid extra for First Class!"
"Is this everyone?" Professor X asked, using his telekinesis to clean his pants. "There are still some who don't have their uniforms on," Nightcrawler reported.
"Who?"
"Let's see," Nightcrawler pulled out a list of characters. "There's Thor and Captain America."
"Get them in here immediately, Kurt!" exclaimed Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy. "We don't have time for this."
"Why did some of us wake naked and others fully clothed?" asked the Penguin from Batman Returns.
"Nobody wants to see you naked," Negasonic Teenage Warhead from Deadpool 2 said bluntly. The DC villain shuddered. "Touché." None of the Gojirans understood the relevance of that but decided that they don't care.
"Does everyone understand the situation?" Professor X asked everyone in the room.
Ah yes, we all do. Gojira growled.
Each Villain, Hero and Monster were created by a golden being called The Oscar and forced to fight each other to the death until only one stood victorious and they fought the other champions. (Though from what Gojira understood, the Gojirans wouldn't much persuasion to fight.) Then the Oscar would regenerate everyone with no memories of the previous fights.
Like West World as Jon Snow from Game of Thrones said. Wait, was it Jon Snow? Honestly, there were a lot of movie characters that were named John, it was hard to keep track for most of the Gojirans save for Jormungand who knew the name of the U.S. Agent from The Falcon and Winter Soldier Marvel TV series.
Now Gojira didn't know what West World is, but he had a guess it something to do with people being robots and they didn't know.
"Does this mean we're all actually robots?" asked the T-800 Terminator from Terminator 2: Judgement Day before he ripped the skin off his right forearm and revealed his robotic endoskeleton beneath. "My God, it's true!"
"You were always a robot, dumbass!" snapped Mace Windu from the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. "You got to cut off a real man's arm off." He then placed his arm around Luke Skywalker from The Mandalorian series. "I nominate Skywalker!"
"Don't push it, homie." Luke muttered.
"How did we break the cycle?" Trinity from The Matrix franchise asked.
Dr. Manhattan stepped forward. "As the most frequent winner of the Super Hero Bowl, I had the truth revealed to me many times over the years by this Oscar," the glowing blue human explained. "It's taken years of practice, but I managed to maintain my memories during every battle."
"With my powers of precognition, I saw events that will lead to the present." Harley Quinn winning the Super Villain Bowl by defeating Jean Grey and Jean Grey would use her telepathy to look into the DC villainess' mind while she was face to face with the Oscar. "In the previous Hero Bowl, I committed suicide as a diversion and reappeared in the nearest cell."
Flashback
Dr. Manhattan then teleported from cell to cell looking for the one villain whose actions would seal the future.
"Arise, Warrior." He spoke.
It was Thanos from Avengers Infinity War. "Where am I?" he asked in confusion before pointing the Infinity Gauntlet at Dr. Manhattan. "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter," Dr. Manhattan replied. "In a few days, you'll be forced to fight in a arena. Unless you don't do as I say, you'll lose. Remember these words, 'Her power is unbeatable, but it wasn't always.'"
"What power? Who are you talking about?" Thanos asked. "When the time is right, you'll know." Dr. Manhattan replied, gesturing to the Time Stone before a golden orblet flew into the cell and teleported Dr. Manhattan away.
"I spent the next few pondering in my cell," Thanos spoke up. "Altering reality to keep myself entertained."
"Why didn't you use the Time Stone to skip the wait?" asked the Ancient One from Doctor Strange.
"I told you I was entertained," Thanos said before pulling out a green Christmas sweater that said, Universe's Greatest Dad. "I crocheted a rather smashing sweater."
"Great, I know what I'm getting." Gamora grumbled drily. "The doors opened, and I stepped into the Arena, and you all know the rest." He lost. "Also, you tricked me, man." he glared at Dr. Manhattan who simply said, "That's Doctor Man."
"Well, now that we're here," spoke up Captain James T. Kirk from the Original Star Trek series. "Why don't you all beam us all out of here?"
"The Arena is encased in a barrier that our powers can't penetrate." Manhattan said grimly. "The barrier emanates from Oscar himself.
Well, that means only one thing, Gojira growled and Caesar from the modern Planet of the Apes Trilogy spoke up. "Destroy Oscar, then we free."
"The chimp is correct," Professor X stated.
Titanus Gojira heard the Original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles speaking among themselves. "Mikey, what are you doing? Painting the Sistine Pizza box?" Raphael asked the orange masked turtle. "I'm writing down notes, so I don't forget."
"It's a secret plan, Mikey. You can't write it down." Leonardo took the box and tossed it. "Somebody shred this."
And someone did, the original Shredder. Rocket Racoon from Guardians of the Galaxy began panicking about something happening again. None of the Gojirans understood what that meant but they didn't really care.
"Uh, guys. I think we need to acknowledge the Godzilla in the room," spoke Korg from Thor Ragnarök. He gestures to the Gojirans, King Kong, the MechaGodzilla's and one of the Autobots from the Transformers franchise. "Which is the fact that there is multiple Godzilla's in the room and King Kong with Robo Godzilla's and Optimum Price. This makes no sense."
"It appears there is a spatial displacement within these cells that allows beings of great size to occupy smaller volumes," observed Dr. Who from Doctor Who. "Textbook dimensional transcendentality."
"Okay, that's poured a ton of concrete into that pothole," Korg stated.
"Sono otoko ni nani ga okotte iru nodesu ka?" ("What is going on with that guy?") Katana asked in Japanese, pointing her sword at Doctor Strange from Avengers Infinity War who was sitting crossed legged, shaking his head as green aura surrounded his body.
Ryuu walked up the Marvel Master of the Mystic Arts and roared in his face, demanding what was happening.
Strange jolted out of his trance due that he was done with his task and because of the Millennial Godzilla's roar. "I checked the outcome of 15, 000, 000 possible outcomes." he said grimly. Well, I suppose that's useful. Ryuu grumbled as he stepped back.
"How many did we win?" Art3mis asked.
.
.
.
"I'm going to keep checking," Strange said nervously. "You never find what you're looking for in the first 15 million."
What does that mean? Zilla asked. It means that there are high odds we won't win against the Oscar, Zilla Junior answered.
"It's going to take a miracle to pull this off!" exclaimed Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride.
"No, it's going to take an army," said Captain America from Avengers Endgame. "It's going to take all of us." Well, if that was the case, why weren't they making a plan to work together?
Because they are Heroes and Villains. None of them can put aside their differences to work together to make an omelet!
"I'm not working with that man!" Batman from The Dark Knight Trilogy declared, pointing to Bane. "He's the plight of my existence."
"You have my permission to cry about it," Bane stated.
"I'm not working with her until she bends the knee," Daenerys Targaryen said, glaring at Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones. "How about I bend it in your face?" Cersei retorted.
Xiuhcoatl could understand that. He himself was skeptical to work with Super MechaGodzilla and Titanus Gojira felt the same about King Ghidorah, but they managed to put aside their differences. However, humans were petty, whether they were movie characters or not it seemed.
"He killed my parents!" Harry Potter from the Harry Potter franchise said about Lord Voldemort.
Luke Skywalker glared at Darth Vader. "That's better than him being your parent." Family drama, much? Dracul grumbled in a bored tone.
Gamora glared at Thanos. "It's better than the parent killing you."
"Adoptive parent," Thanos declared defensively. Oh, like that makes it better, snorted Vermithor.
Ego from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Han Solo from Star Wars agreed that it was better than the parent being killed by the child.
Thor from Avengers Endgame tried to one up them by saying, "It's better than your sister taking out one of your eyes!"
Xiuhcoatl and Gojira looked between Loki, Hela from Thor Ragnarök and Thor. There is like no resemblance between you three, they both said.
"Are you sure it wasn't you they adopted?" Hela asked her brother.
Ooh! Godzilla Junior covered his mouth with wide eyes.
"Cards on the table," Darth Vader declared, placing his hand on Luke's shoulder. "You were an accident."
Shin Gojira and Godzilla Earth gasped upon that statement in shock then everyone began arguing.
Thanos threatened to snap his fingers. Strangely enough, only Jormungand understood that threat and hissed at him. Is that really a bad thing? asked Glaurung getting a nod in response.
"Everyone shut up," the Green Ranger from the Power Rangers franchise said in a calm tone and somehow that made it all stop.
"SHUT UP, GREEN RANGER'S TALKING!"
He took off his helmet to show his face to them all. "Look, I'm sure that there are some of us that would love to fight each other and kill each other over and over." He gestures to Jason Voorhes from Friday the 13th and Michael Myers from Halloween. "But that's what the Oscar wants. Now, we have a choice. We can keep fighting each other. Killing each other over and over again and die or we can fight him, just once. And live." (7)
Gojira and the other Gojirans snorted in the Kaiju equivalent of a scoff. We have made our choice. We will be no one's slave. That being said, the Gojirans turned away from the other Movie Characters, followed by King Kong, King Ghidorah and the MechaGodzilla's.
The Heroes and Villains glance at each other, contemplating the Green Ranger's words. While the Gojirans charged up their beam attacks to fire at the wall, Two Face from The Dark Knight Trilogy flipped his coin into the air and caught it in his hand.
And I've decided to split it into two or three parts. Mainly because the chapter is very long.
Now I like to thank DJ Rodriguez for telling to check up names for the Gojirans on 20000 Names.
1) Xiuhcoatl translates to "fire serpent" or "weapon of destruction" and I thought that it would be perfect for Heisei Godzilla.
2) Dracul translates to "devil" or dragon in Romanian and but also to Dracula, as DJ Rodriguez pointed out, and Megaguirus was similar to a vampire.
3) Glaurung is from Tolkien's Middle Earth. A wingless, fire breathing trickster dragon.
4) Ryuu is Japanese for "dragon spirit."
5) One translation for Tatsuo is "dragon man."
6) Samael refers to the fallen angel of Death or the Grim Reaper. I thought a biblical reference was perfect for the Gojiran Destroyer of Hell.
7) Urdur is Icelandic for "Fate, that which happened." Which I thought fit given that Snow Godzilla seemed to be able to manipulate time.
8) Now in the original YouTube video this series is based on, Black Widow is the one who gave a speech to the Movie Characters, but I decided to pay tribute to the actor who had portrayed the Green Ranger for a long time. RIP Jason David Frank.
Now next is Part 2: The Resistance.
