The images of the rolling waves of sludge filled my mind, and at once I knew what it was. "Hitodah was scoping the area. That was just its first attack. Now that it knows what's here, it's going to fight Godzilla for itself."

Goro nodded. "You're probably right. I know a safe place where we can watch the battle Hayato is probably there already." Just then, Goro's phone rang. "Speaking of Hayato…" Goro said. He answered it.

It was hard to Hayato over the phone, but I could tell his voice was urgent. "Something else is coming here?" Goro asked. His voice remained calm, but I could tell he was slightly panicking. Hayato spoke again. "Well, find out what it is now!" Goro responded. "We're on our way there anyway." Goro hung up the phone. "C'mon Akira" he said, taking off.

It was taking longer than I expected to get to where we were going. I guess this was another thing I hadn't learned because we were going through a bunch of passages that I've never seen before. "So where is this again?" I asked.

"It's a separate monitoring room from our base that can go underground or over ground" Goro replied. "We've never really needed any use for it until now, but Hayato's there already there, for some reason."

I would have questioned what was going on, but my pounding heart was filling up with suspense. The eerie quiet puzzled me and made me afraid, because I knew Hitodah was out there and could strike at any moment. My hasty footsteps only added to the fear that was probably building up in everyone right now. I've been through hundreds of kaiju attacks, but this is the most I've ever been afraid. There's one powerful kaiju out there, and soon to be another.

We finally stopped at the end of a passage, where there was a steel door. Goro put his ID in a slot on the door. The machine registered it, and a slot on the other side of the door opened, revealing a hand scanner, which Goro put his hand on. There was a beep and the door opened.

Goro and I stepped inside, but there were no lights on. The door swiftly shut behind me. I looked startled, but Goro wasn't. "Hayato?" he called. There was no answer but the faint sound of muffled gagging.

"Turn the lights on!" I shouted urgently. My hand flung behind me for a switch, but I didn't know where anything was. The lights flickered on around me, but I didn't turn them on, or Goro.

"Well, well, good job Hayato" a familiar silky voice said. The lights illuminated the new person at the scene. There were two, large guards standing beside him, one holding Hayato around the neck, a gag over his mouth. I realized there were two guards behind us. The person smiled again. "You tried to escape, but you must have known I wouldn't let that happen."

"Gaiion" I hissed. Gaiion replied with an innocent smile. "Why do you keep doing this?" I asked, and Gaiion only smiled more. "I'm just looking into the best interest of humans" he answered smugly.

In fury, I drew the gun from my belt, and aimed it right at his chest. The monitor flickered to life beside me, and I turned towards the screen. Kazuko was looking in terror at the three guards over her, each one with a gun. I stopped, my hands faltering with the trigger. "Shoot me or one of the guards and they'll shoot Kazuko."

I stopped completely. If I really did love her, I would drop the gun right now. But if the secrets she was enveloped in was really that bad, should I let her live?

On Gaiion's command, the guard at his side threw Hayato on the ground. Hayato scrambled up to stand next to Goro. "And to make sure you two don't try anything" Gaiion said to Hayato and Goro, one of the bunkers downstairs is rigged with explosives, and one of the guards has the detonator."

At that point, I completely surrendered. The gun dropped from my hand, and when it hit the ground, I nearly regretted it.

"Why are you trapping us?" Hayato asked. "Hitodah could destroy the world without the humans."

Exactly" Gaiion said. We need to capture some of you to preserve a small amount of humans for when the world blows over, because you would never be able to survive."

"Well, you can't just treat us like animals!" I shouted.

Gaiion didn't respond for a while. "In time, it will all be revealed."

"You wanted to release us before" I realized. "It was all a plan. You never wanted to help me. You just needed me. You spread lies around everywhere. You wanted me to read the story about what had happened. You just spread lies everywhere until our team was a wreck."

Gaiion didn't stop me, and had a solemn look on his face, as if he regretted something. But quickly, it faded away. "Yes, it is true. Both of your accusations are. A lot of the things that have been said are lies, except for one thing. There is another kaiju coming. I used the excuse to get you here."

Gaiion turned back to the monitor, where it faded to black and disappeared from view. The air around me began to hum as the floor was lifting up, all of us and all of the controls through layers of earth. I shielded my eyes as we came from out of the ground, part of us and the controls concealed in layers of glass and plastic. We were a good 100 meters away from the action, but it was still pretty close.

When we got to the top, I nearly panicked and hit the button back down. Godzilla wasn't the only kaiju standing outside. Hitodah was there, also. Most of the area around them was drenched in sludge, and Hitodah was using it as an advantage, wisps of smog going into his eye.

I realized too late that Hitodah wasn't using the smog to gain power. He was charging a beam, only there was no glow. Godzilla realized it, too, and began to duck, but Hitodah's eye fired a red beam at Godzilla. Godzilla roared in pain as his shoulder was fried by the beam, making him stagger back. Everyone in the room ducked as blasts of red shot over our heads.

Godzilla growled, but suddenly, his grimace turned into what seemed to be a smile. Godzilla sprung at Hitodah from his bent down position, ramming Hitodah right below his eye. I realized Godzilla was smiling because this was an enemy that he could hurt physically. Godzilla slashed at Hitodah's sides, but Hitodah was careful to keep its eye out of the way of Godzilla's slashing claws. Hitodah launched several harpooned tentacles out of his back, slashing at Godzilla's sides and forcing him back. Godzilla still slashed at the air, and one harpoon tip of Hitodah fell to the ground.

Godzilla charged a beam. It wasn't a powerful one, but it was enough to turn two more harpoons into charred remains. Hitodah shrieked, and decided that was enough for slashing. Hitodah brought in one of his thick arms from the side, bowling Godzilla over.

Hitodah launched two remaining harpoons at Godzilla, one embedding itself in Godzilla's stomach. Godzilla reached for it and seemed to have no trouble beginning to pull it out and spill scarlet blood all over the ground. Hitodah, however fired a harpoon into Godzilla's healing shoulder. The burning flesh was soft and weak, and the harpoon went deep into his body. Godzilla roared in pain and stopped pulling the harpoon out of his body.

Hitodah lifted Godzilla in the air, the harpoons tugging at his body and causing Godzilla to groan in agony. Hitodah slammed Godzilla onto the ground repeatedly, causing more blood to spill out of Godzilla. I was expecting the whole thing. I knew how powerful Hedorah was, and now Hitodah was just a reincarnation of Hedorah. Hitodah continued to beat Godzilla around. I knew Godzilla had extraordinary healing powers, but I wondered if the kaiju could bleed to death.

Hitodah finally stopped after a while. Godzilla's head dropped to the ground, blood trickling out of his mouth. Everyone was in shock as the air remained dead quiet. Hitodah ripped the harpoon out of Godzilla's stomach easily. I winced, for I had never seen so much blood in my life. Hitodah began to pull the harpoon out of Godzilla's shoulder, but it wouldn't budge. I stared in shock as Hitodah fell flat on the ground.

Godzilla stood up, leaving Hitodah on the ground. He yanked the harpoon towards him, dragging Hitodah trough the earth. Godzilla yanked Hitodah up, slashing at his sides punching him straight in the eye. Hitodah shrieked and staggered, and Godzilla pushing him back and forcing them to fight.

Both kaiju were evenly matched, but sometime, there would be something that would change the battle, and only one would win.
