Merry New Kwanzaka! Sorry bout the little wait! The chapter's a little short, but I hope you still enjoy it. Basically it's just a preview for the main action about to come. I'm planning some new projects soon, possibly a human-kaiju story or a wolfman story. hope to please a lot of readers soon!

I hurried as fast as I could after Goro, my arm still aching. I squeezed my shoulder hard, hoping the pain would go away. I had a feeling I would need to be focused for what was about to happen.

I don't know if I've ever fully described under Tokyo before. In the center of the city, there's a large main plaza about 10 stories high. It's about 20 meters down underground. In the center, there's a sturdy, but much smaller, reconstruction of the Tokyo tower. It also serves as a monument for all those killed in the recent years, story of like a cemetery. Only recently were dead bodies beginning to be buried outside. Around the 'Tokyo Tower,' there are a bunch of restaurants, clothing stores, and other stores you would find in them mall. The lawmaking bodies and city protection are 10 meters below it, and so are the poorest residential places. The farther down you go, the more expensive you get. The whole thing is encased by 2 metal walls. Most cities have the same design.

Goro and I raced through the upper levels of the main plaza, heading towards the front entrance. It was quiet and empty, for everyone had gone to the large bunkers at the bottom of the city. "So how far away from here is Godzilla?" I asked, trying to breath normally.

Goro sighed. "Well, you'll see."

As the door opened to outside, I nearly recoiled. The heat from outside was overwhelming, even though there was a huge shadow blocking the sun. A large, warm breeze swept past me as something swished past me. I realized that Godzilla was standing just 20 meters outside the door. His scales glinted from the sign and heat radiated of his gray, rough skin. He was growling intensely, shuffling a few steps forward every now and then.

"What is he doing here?" I asked, still gasping at the gargantuan saurian that stood against the sun, a symbol of raging death and power packed into hundreds of muscles and bone.

"Well, here's here to battle Hitodah, of course" Goro said.

"I know that, but why would he come here and block Tokyo?" I asked.

Goro shrugged. "Maybe he remembers you. Maybe he came here as a debt to what you did for him."

I looked at Goro, bewildered. "So, wait… he came here to protect me?" I asked.

Goro took a long time to think. Just as Goro opened his mouth, Godzilla shuffled forward again, letting out a massive roar of challenge, his eyes blazing blue.

Weird gurgling filled the air, but there was no sight of Hitodah approaching, but Godzilla seemed to sense something. I strained my eyes, and eventually I saw it; a low tide of surging black sludge moving towards us, toxic fumes filling the air and plants wilting beneath its path. As Godzilla roared again, the black sludge opened in an explosion of tentacles.

"What the hell is this!" I cried, taking cover from the acidic shower. Several tentacles whipped around Godzilla's arms and legs, and he roared in pain as his wrist began to sizzle. Godzilla fired a blue atomic ray, zipping off his mouth and searing the tentacles around his right wrist. They withered and disintegrated, but the line of sludge kept surging forward.

Godzilla began to try and charge as best as he could, but couldn't get enough energy. The best he did was increase the temperature around us by 15*, making me uncomfortably hot. Godzilla noticed it, too, and seemed to get an idea. He suddenly jumped onto the surge of sludge, cracking some ground. Heat spread throughout the sludge, setting rows and rows of the sludge on fire.

Godzilla lit his spikes blue, and fired one more beam into the fray. Before I knew what was happening Goro yanked me by my good arm backwards, nearly toppling me over. He dragged me back into the open door before he slammed it shut, locking it twice and moving backwards as heat surged in.

There was a loud explosion outside and more heat and some ugly black sludge soaked through the door.

"I think," Goro said, "It was only the beginning."

Have a wonderful holiday season! Thanks for reading!
