Thanks for all the advice and support!
The waters around the coast of Japan n longer bubble with boiling ferocity. Only wisps of steam left the toxic sea. The polluted sand that covered the seafloor was silent.
Where there was once a twitching, oozing eye, there was just black sand.
The man sitting in the chair was tan, like my guard and the rest of the Seatopians. He was pretty young, maybe in his early 20s, and had the same, short, spiky black hair. He was dressed completely in white. All he wore was robe, tied together beneath his chest, exposing his upper body. The robe covered most of his arms, and completely covered his legs. He also wore pearly white gloves and boots. On top of his head was a simple crown; a white band going around his head, and in the center of his forehead was four-pointed design with a smaller, solid gold design in the center.
His voice was surprisingly smooth. "As I said, we are the Seatopians. We have coexisted almost unknown with humans for thousands of years. Almost unknown" the king cocked an eye at Hayato.
He turned back towards the screen. "You see, we were going to stay silent forever more, or as long as this world existed, and we would secretly fight for the earth and protect it." He smiled a pearly smile. "Who do you think started earth day?"
"But the reason why we have decided to come out of hiding now is because of well… do I really need to explain it?" with one arm, he gestured to the barren landscape on the screen."
"But the world is healing!" I argued. "We have it all under control!"
The king's expression saddened. "Yes, well, you think you have it under control. However, the carbon rate on the earth is much too high for life to get much farther past insects and mice. It'll be earth again, but it will be the perfect kind of environment for giant insects like the meganulon to live in."
"Which brings me to another point. Humans have been disturbing and releasing kaiju for too long. Just this morning, you released several hundred meganulon larvae into your world. You also released the most feared kaiju of the Seatopians, Rodan. A prehistoric dragon that caused death and destruction whenever it was awakened from its earthy prison."
The king was interrupted by Goro. "Who exactly are you? For all we know, you could be some kind of kaiju-terrorist group" he demanded.
The king laughed. "Okay then. I am king Gaiion, air to the thrown of Airient. We come from Seatopia, which was an ancient kingdom once apart of Atlantis, before it sank."
"For a while we lived in peace alongside several other races that lived on Atlantis. Years went on, and a war went on with our rivals, the Muuvians. Both continents sank into the sea. The Muuvians survived under the sea until the Muuvian-human war, b=but we survived by living under the earth's crust secretly. "
"And that brings us back to here. Are you satisfied now?"
Before anyone could answer, the screen flashed red, blocking the view of the motionless crystal Baragon. Gaiion leader turned around, looking at some weird writing appearing from the screen. "Open the transmission" the Seatopian leader said.
On the screen was a large island with a large tainted lake in the center. A few 5-story buildings and a factory dotted the wasteland island. This was one of the cities that was trying to rebuild itself.
New York City. It was once covered with skyscrapers and overflowing with over 8 million people. Now, it was probably about 800,000. The water rushed around, a soft gray, but as I watched, the rivers slowed down into a sludge-like thickness, turning so dark it almost became a black.
"Now, you see what happens when you tamper with the earth too much. This is what will happen when you cause too much change" Gaiion said, raising an arm to the screen.
At the same time, the water burst open, showering the buildings around it and creating an acid-like hiss. Several sludgy, two-fingered arms burst open from the water, one sticking straight up like a horn, two others slamming into the ground, hoisting whatever was down there out of the water.
Sludgy whips came out of the water, and at least five of them whipped around the already wrecked city. Chunks of brick went flying, and I flinched as I heard the sounds of terror and destruction, worse than the shrieks of the meganulon. The air flashed blood-red as the thing began to crawl onto land.
It took the form of a starfish, one limb in the air, two like arms, and two acting like legs. It took that same tinted gray color of Hedorah. Out of its back came about ten whips like arms. All of them were pointed with brown blades. In the center of its body, a spiky, brown formation surrounded a deep, blood-red oval eye that blinked horizontally instead of vertically. It wasn't as tall as Hedorah, but its limbs had a bigger span.
For a second, I felt like the eye looked directly at the screen. Directly at me. I gasped slightly as memories overflowed my mind, and there was no way to push them back. The dam that had blocked the pain for so long shattered. I saw Hedorah, in its full power, fighting so many battles. Godzilla raking his claws across its eyes, and Hedorah fighting back. I saw Hedorah's head being blasted off by a blue beam, its eye spiraling into the water. And finally, I saw Hedorah fighting…
I blinked, and the mental dam was whole again, but floodwaters still tossed and wrecked me, some water beginning to flow out of my eyes.
No one saw as the thing rampaged across the screen, the king still speaking. "We call it Hitodah. In a reference to your own Hedorah. In fact, you're looking at what you thought to be dead, but it's still alive."
Goro interrupted once again. "That's impossible that Hedorah's still alive. It was killed by Godzilla months ago."
Gaiion's expression changed into one of fury. "Don't you get it?" he growled. "You may think you killed something, but the memories still live on. Whatever you do will always remain as an imprint on the earth, and the events of your past will once again, come back to haunt you."
Gaiion turned back around. "You humans have caused too many bad things on this planet. This is what happens when they collide."
The air hummed quietly, the sound growing louder. The humming became a shrill sound that sliced through the air like a razor. On the horizon, a dark red shape swiftly flew through the air. I recognized it from earlier today. As Gaiion had called it, it was Rodan.
Hitodah looked up, but was taken by surprise. Rodan flew straight past Hitodah. I couldn't tell anything had happened until sparks began to fly from where Rodan had passed by. Rodan's sharp stomach plates gleamed, and Hitodah shrieked in pain.
Hitodah spun around, firing three blades whips at Rodan. Rodan looked trapped, but his surprising agility defied all the laws of physics. Rodan twisted and turned through the air, and occasional sounds of slicing went rang through the air as Rodan's armored wings clashed with Hitodah's blades. As Rodan turned away to circle back again, several blades fell to the ground.
Rodan spun around again, and rushed at Hitodah. Hitodah ducked, however, its fifth limb striking Rodan out of the sky and into the factory. Smoke billowed up from the wrecked building, and the thick smog drifted towards Hitodah, who seemed to breathe it in. Hitodah's eye glowed, and out of it shot a large, dark red beam. I was astounded by the beam, as it was twice as large as Hedorah's. It struck the limp Rodan, and a loud caw was heard as the factory blew into flaming bits, annihilating everything near it.
As the endless cloud of smoke enveloped the area, Hitodah breathed more of it in, and eventually, the ugly behemoth retreated back into the water, now ten times more polluted then it had ever been.
Everyone looked at the screen, their mouths hanging open at the site of the wrecked city, and the destruction Hitodah had caused. Even some of the guards were looking at the screen, aghast.
Kazuko had finally found the courage to speak. "So you knew Hitodah was forming all this time?" she asked. There was no mistake that she had been shaken and stunned by the event.
Gaiion smiled. "Why, yes. This is your punishment for all the crime you have done in the last 100 years. Guards, release them. Release them back to their shattered over world They will never forget this day."
BANG! The world shook in a million different directions as red lights flashed around me, switching back to the screen where Crystal Baragon was. For a second, my heart nearly burst at the thought of Hitodah being here.
But, no. Instead of crystal Baragon, a blue beam crashed through the air, striking crystal Baragon directly in the chest, sending blasting back.
A roar rumbled through the air, creating a force that felt like it was wrenching your soul out of your body.
The king of the damned, Godzilla.
Yay, I finally got Godzilla in! I'm really proud of the progress on this story!
