Alright, time for another chapter, this is mostly talk about how the characters are reacting, so not a big chapter but important none the less.
A Turn for the Worst
Sōunkyō Gorge, 10:34 am;
Miki ran into the ice cave, a radio in hand. She ran over to where Godzilla was sleeping. "Godzilla!" she yelled urgently.
"What is it Miki?" asked Godzilla, worried by Miki's urgency.
"Kashun just appeared in Okinawa." said Miki. "He fought another monster named Zedus, killed him, then destroyed the city, and went into the sea."
Godzilla paused, thinking it over. "It may just be territorial instinct…or he might be hungry and Zedus was just in the wrong place at the wrong time…how did he kill Zedus?"
"…He gutted him alive."
"He's got more violent…Kashun has always been incredibly violent but its not like him to kill someone that brutally…his mutation must be out of control."
"Yes, he's changed greatly since he was last seen." said Miki, showing him what Kashun looked like telepathically.
Godzilla was shocked. "Its worse than I thought, his regenerative factor has gone out of control, its making more tissue than is needed, turning him from one of my kind…into something else that should've never existed on Earth…an abomination."
Miki sighed. "What do we do?" she asked, confused.
Godzilla thought this out for a few minutes, he had to, acting rashly could make things worse than before. "We wait, see if Kashun will go back to sleep or attack again. If he shows he's not going to stop, I will go stop him myself."
Anti-kaiju Division, 10:45 am;
Ken and Bill watched a satellite photograph, monitoring Kashun, who they still believed was Godzilla. "His heat is increasing rapidly." said Ken.
"What does that mean?" asked Bill.
"It may be a reaction to Zedus' venom…yes that's probably what it is."
"Well should we send something to stop him?"
"We've got nothing powerful enough to defeat him until Moguera is online, which will be awhile." said Bill, slamming his fist on the panel in front of him, furious at his inability to destroy his nemesis.
"Well we have to try, who knows, something might work."
"I guess, send in the navy."
Ocean South of Japan, midday;
Kashun plunged through the sea, at the surface, trying to let the cold air cool him down. His eyes and spines now glowed with the red magma-like rash, as did two large patches on his legs. He was burning up inside and it was driving him even more crazy than his constant pain of mutation already was. Suddenly, rocket shells from battleships hit his hide, he let out a roar and turned to the approaching armada. He snarled, his back spines glowed blood-red and then a spiraling, blood-red beam of atomic energy tore out of his throat vent and blasted the ships into oblivion, reducing them to slag. He roared, steam bellowing from the water into the sky. He was attacked by submarines from under the water, the torpedoes launching gazers of water into the air but having no effect on him. He charged and fired another Spiral Beam, blowing the submarines up even being fired from about the water. Kashun snarled and turned back to his path, he needed fuel, his body craved it more than anything right now.
Anti-kaiju Division, 12:15 pm;
Bill sighed. "Well we tried…what's with that beam?" he asked, curious. "I've never seen a beam like that before."
Ken nodded. "He's increased in power." he said. He looked over the data. "I think I know why, and its not good."
"What is it?"
Ken showed a computer model, showing what Zedus' tongue had done, how the spear head remained lodged in Kashun's chest. "Godzilla's heart is a nuclear reactor, Zedus' damaged it with his tongue." he said. "And part of it stayed lodged in there, preventing it from healing fully." he said. "The heart has been damaged, it can't keep the reaction stable."
"And what does that mean."
"Godzilla will continue to increase in power, his temperature raising rapidly…then when it reaches critical mass…he will explode."
"Explode?!"
"Yes…a blast so enormous that all the world's nuclear weapons detonated at once would still pale in comparison…it will destroy an area about the size of all of Asia and the fallout…will be so great, the entire planet will be reduced to a wasteland, all plant and animal life will be killed, if not by the radiation, by the intense heat that will be caused to the atmosphere." he said.
"So if we don't stop it…the world…will be destroyed?"
Ken nodded grimly. "Yes and according to theses figures, Godzilla will explode…in the next 36 hours."
"How can we stop it?"
"There's a possibility." said Ken. "Another monster powerful enough could kill Godzilla before he explodes, it would likely irradiate the surrounding area but it would stop the explosion."
"So we'll have to use Moguera."
Ken nodded. "Moguera is the most powerful thing we've got." he said. "But we need to add a new weapon to his arsenal, a new missile called the Spiral Grenade, they spin like a drill to dig in and then explode with great force."
"And this new weapon might be able to kill the real Godzilla?"
"Its still experimental and might have some problems but it might be out only chance at stopping Godzilla." said Ken. "I'll have it inserted in Moguera and readied for battle."
"Should we give a press announcement about Godzilla's explosion? We at least need to let the people be ready for it, if Godzilla does explode."
Ken nodded. "Yes, we should." he said. "But there is actually a worse possibility than explosion."
"Worse than that?! What could possibly be worse?!"
Ken thought about how to put it. "…A Meltdown." he said. "Godzilla's heart, his reactor, could break up and begin to meltdown, then his entire body will. It will give off even more radiation that an explosion, in the process, his body will melt into the Earth, like in china syndrome only far worse. The world will never be able to support life again."
Bill sighed. "This is gonna be a long day…"
I took some of Ken's dialog from Godzilla vs. Destoryah, since the senero is simular, that's were Ken came from in the first place since I was planning a Meltdown the entire time. Anyway, next up, Godzilla awakens!
