Alright, its finally time for a monster fight, and it'll be a good one, though obviously not as good as the finaly climatic battle of course. I was originally going to use Zilla for Zedus' part but I needed Zedus' spear tongue for an important plot twist, so enjoy the carnage!
Kashun's Wrath
Naha, Okinawa, 9:34 am;
Kashun and Zedus stared each other down, each looking for the other to make the first move. All his life, Kashun's constant transformation caused unbearable agony, leading to his psychosis and he always wanted to inflict the pain he was forced to endure on others, it was a sad side effect of how the mutation effected him different than his brother and their father. Kashun's bloodlust left him with little patients and he was first to attack, using another atomic ray. Zedus, like before, leapt out of the way and agilely avoided it. He jumped another beam and this time pounced forwards and slammed into Kashun's chest with both feet, staggering Kashun a few steps. Zedus then used his long tongue to pierce Kashun's shoulder. Zedus had hoped it would pierce all the way through and out the back but Kashun's bones stopped it from doing so. Zedus withdrew his tongue before Kashun could slash it with his claws. Zedus was surprised to see Kashun's wound heal before his eyes. The stun was so great, it let Kashun spin his tail around and smash Zedus in the head, sending him flying through a skyscraper. Zedus shook off the impact in time to dodge another heat beam, this time running behind skyscrapers to avoid being hit, the beam leaving ruin in its wake. Zedus snarled, he was much quicker than Kashun but Kashun just needed one good hit and Zedus would be crippled, or left in a heap of broken bones and muscle. Zedus's cold reptilian mind told him he'd need all his cunning if he were to defeat Kashun. Zedus peeked over the building he was hiding behind and saw Kashun was looking for him. Zedus climbed up the skyscraper and leapt off, landing on Kashun's back, careful to avoid the razor edged spines. He used his tongue to spear Kashun's flesh several times, not causing any lasting harm as Kashun regenerated. Kashun snarled and charged his atomic ray, causing his dorsal spines to light up and glow with atomic heat. Zedus roared in pain and had to jump off as Kashun spun around and fired his atomic ray at Zedus. Zedus ducked to avoid the blast but got the spikes on his head were incinerated. Zedus didn't feel pain from the loss of his horns, as the horns weren't tissue and didn't hurt him but he was angered that he'd been injured by his opponent. He ran as Kashun fired the beam again, barely avoiding the attack again. He wrapped his tongue around a piece of building and tossed it at Kashun, hitting him the face, staggering him. Zedus leapt at Kashun and spat his venom in Kashun's eyes, blinding him temporally and causing him to roar in shock and pain. Zedus bashed Kashun repeatedly with his tail and slashed him with his claws. Like before, he couldn't inflict any lasting damaging on his opponent. He lashed out with his spear-like tongue, once again doing no permanent injury because Kashun regenerated so quickly. Kashun's eyes finally got the venom out and he unleashed a blast of his atomic ray at Zedus, catching him in the chest and launching him backwards, through a building and onto the Shuri Castle, once the home of an old kingdom that had been on Okinawa, and destroying it, leaving Zedus badly burnt and struggling to get up.
Kashun approached but the Maser Tanks finally arrived and opened fire on him with their blue-white lasers. Kashun was the greater threat of the two, as the humans believed he was Godzilla and thus a massive threat, so they converged all their fire power on him. Kashun snarled at theses minor annoyances, seeing them as obstacles between him and finishing off Zedus. He quickly unleashed his atomic ray on them, reducing them to molten slag in seconds. He turned back to Zedus, who had recovered from the atomic ray and was running back towards the ocean, realizing he was no match for Kashun on land. Kashun growled and fired another atomic ray, blasting in front of Zedus, blasting him backwards and into a building. Zedus growled in pain and watched Kashun approach, the monster being rather slow but his massive foot falls shook the ground even where Zedus was. Zedus prepared himself and pounced on Kashun.
Kashun was ready and trust one of his massive claws up, stabbing through Zedus's shoulder with his right claw. He brought Zedus eye to eye with him but Zedus, refusing to admit defeat, extended his tongue, pierce deep into Kashun's chest, avoiding ribs and hitting the heart. Kashun roared in pain and tore Zedus' tongue out, leaving the spear tip in him but this healed enough it didn't kill Kashun. Kashun snarled in rage and tore Zedus's tongue out of his jaws, causing Zedus to roar in agony. Kashun took his enormous left claw, having to use his tail to balance without the use of his hands to support his weight, and buried the claw deep into Zedus' stomach and tore up, gutting Zedus and causing blood to pour from Zedus' mouth and him to roar in pain and then his eyes closed, him dieing. Kashun snarled and threw Zedus' bleeding corpse into the sea. Kashun roared in victory but stopped, something felt wrong, his heart, a nuclear reactor, was damaged by Zedus' tongue tip still being embedded in it, making it impossible for it to heal correctly. He was enraged even further than before by this pain. He fired his beam on the city, vaporizing concrete, liquefying metal, and reducing human beings to ashes, becoming more red than orange. Once he'd vented the rage this pain caused, Kashun walked to the sea and dove in, his heart heating up and him trying to cool it down. Beneath the ocean, Kashun's skin began to glow red, like magma, the largest over his chest. His shoulders also glowed the magma red, as did his teeth and claws, veins of magma-like red spread throughout his body. His entire body started to heat up, boiling the water around him. He felt a stronger hunger for nuclear material than before, than ever before. He picked up his pace, heading for Tokyo.
And Kashun has gone meltdown! Poor Tokyo! We're heading for the final climatic showdown but we've got some non-kaiju fight chapters up next to increase suspence! And of course right now we've got a cliff hanger, so enjoy the suspence!
