Hey, guys. I'm back with another chapter. Heads up, it might get intense in this chapter, as intense as I can make it to be. Hope you enjoy.
Miki awoke with a startle, Goro immediately rushing to her side, followed by Nick, Judy, and the kids.
"Goro? What happened?" Miki asked, as Goro took Miki's paw into hers.
"You fainted out on the podium during the speech. You don't remember?" asked Goro.
"Just a bit. I saw the guardians, and I saw the three-headed beast. They were fighting, and fighting above the ocean." whispered Miki. "Wait, where are we?"
"We're on the top floor of the hotel in Sahara Square." said Goro. "The police officers assigned to look after us, they brought us here."
"Thank you, Officers Wilde, yes?" said Miki.
"Yes, your highness." Judy nodded, respectfully. "I'm Judy, this is Nick, and our kids, Cody and Shiela."
"This doesn't bother you at all, does it, ma'am?" asked Nick. "A family of rabbits and foxes, together?"
"Nick, remember, respectful?" Judy nudged Nick on the arm.
"Oh, no. It's okay he asked. Actually, I find that more than okay." Miki said, sincerely. "If anything, meeting your family shows that everything I ever heard about this city was true. Mammals of all species living in harmony, and becoming anything they want."
"Thank you for the compliment, princess." said Judy.
It was then that Miki noticed the necklace hanging from around Cody's neck. It was the three stones that Cody found on the beach, with a piece of string through the holes.
"Pardon me, young one. May I see that necklace of yours?" asked Miki.
"Oh, yes, ma'am." said Cody.
As Cody gave the necklace to Miki, the stones began give a bright glow. Everyone stared in awe.
"How... are you doing that?" said Nick.
"The guardians... they're coming closer." Miki whispered, in a worried tone. "Then, that means..."
"Your highness, what ARE you talking about?" Nick asked, again.
"Please, you have to believe me with what I should tell you." said Miki.
"Back on the podium, with my story. It all goes back to the era before the mammals dominated the world. There existed creatures of unfathomable power and size. Living forces of nature. But then, one day, another one of those creatures came falling from the sky in a star. The three-headed beast known as Ghidorah. With it's power, it could drain the life of anything it touches. All life in the world would've been drained if it had not been for three creatures, that putted their differences aside, and joined together to seal away the beast in a place that would later be known as the south pole. They were Godzilla, the leader, and guardian of the ocean. Rodan, the guardian of the sky. Mothra, the guardian of the earth. Ever since then, as the world changed around them, they chose to fall into a deep slumber, watching the world through their dreams, waiting to defend the world from Ghidorah, should he awaken, once more."
"How do you know all of this?" asked Judy.
"My family has had a strong power of the mind for ages." said Miki. "My ancestors first had dreams of giants, doing battle in a long, forgotten time. The story of these guardians were passed down throughout the generations, until it became a prophecy that the guardians would one day awaken to save the world from the threat from the stars."
Miki held up the necklace. "These stones you found, Cody. These were made by my ancestors. With our power, they would be used as a way of connecting with the guardians. How did you come by them?"
"They just washed up on the beach, and I found them." Cody replied, honestly.
"The glowing of the stones... It means the guardians have awoken, and our coming this way, which means Ghidorah's headed this way, too." said Miki.
"Sounds to me like this city air is really effecting this poor girl's mind." Nick whispered into Judy's ear, which resulted him in being elbowed in the gut, hard.
"I know it sounds crazy, Mr. Wilde, but it's true. I saw the awakening of Godzilla with my own eyes!" said Goro.
"I was out on my boat with my friends, when all of a sudden, there was this strange glow coming from below our boat. When the glowing stopped, that's when we saw the humongous tail rising from the depths. I tried to get us out of the way, but it was too late. I... I think I was the only one who survived."
"Sorry to hear about your friends, Goro." said Nick. "It's just this story of yours of giants and stuff, I don't mean disrespect, but how come no one has found any evidence of these things, now? Especially with beings coming from other worlds?"
"There are some things that can't be proved or explained with evidence, Mr. Wilde." said Miki. "Like my power."
"Well, why are you telling us this, now?" said Judy.
"Because, part of the prophecy says-"
Miki was interrupted by the sound of the emergency sirens going off outside. Everyone rushed to the window to see what was going on. All the denizens were scrambling from their homes with belongings and suitcases in their grasp, and piling into their cars.
Judy's phone rang. It was Clawhauser.
"Ben? What's going on? Do you hear the sirens?" asked Judy.
"JUDY! TURN ON THE NEWS, QUICK!" Clawhauser screamed through the phone.
Judy quickly grabbed the remote, and turned on the TV.
...
"This is ZNN news, Live." reported the snow leopard news anchor. "We received word of a large, flying animal of sorts above the city. Several reports claim that this animal has three heads, and can shoot lightning from any of the mouths. Already, the mayor has declared a state of emergency, and has ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city. We go live to our reporter, Kitty Meowsworth, live from the streets of Savannah Central. Kitty?"
The scene changed to a blond-furred feral cat with a microphone. "Hey, guys. This is Kitty Meowsworth, reporting from the streets of Savannah Central. As you can see behind me, we have mammals piling into their cars, we have army, police, and fire-fighters are riding in tanks and trucks, it's just total chaos down here. Uh, wait a minute. I can see the creature, right at city hall, from where we're standing, and, what's it doing?"
The camera turned to see Ghidorah scratching it's back on the building of city hall, golden scales falling from it's body. From out of the scales, emerged smaller versions of Ghidorah, but with one head on their bodies, and about twelve feet high.
"Um, guys. There are smaller versions from the creature, that appear to be hatching from the scales? I don't how that's possible, but the military is already attack them, and... Oh my gosh! The smaller creatures are attacking back, shooting lightning, and, now they're eating some of the soldiers and citizens?! They are literally mammals being bitten in half, right behind me! Okay, guys, I think we're gonna get out of here now before, oh no...!"
One smaller version of Ghidorah stomped right across from where the news mammals were, and fired a bolt of lightning. The screen turned to a fritz.
The scene changed back to the news anchors.
"Kitty?! Kitty, are you there?!" called the moose news anchor. The snow leopard covered her mouth in horror. "Um, our producer is telling us we're evacuating the building right now, so, we're gonna cut it right here, until we get someplace safe. We at ZNN news wish everyone and their families to stay safe."
...
Everyone in the room had their throats paralyzed with fear. A hotel staff member, a weasel, burst through the door.
"Everyone, please! We're evacuating the hotel! Gather any belongings you have, and proceed- Look out!"
The weasel pointed to the window to show a small Ghidorah creature flying at the window. Everyone scrambled out of the room, before the creature crashed through the glass.
As Miki, Goro, and the Wildes burst out of the hotel along with many of the staff and guests, they looked up to see the hotel being smashed by other creatures.
"I've heard of these creatures, before. They're Dorats. Smaller versions of Ghidorah that hatch from his loose scales." said Miki.
"Carrots, we need to get the princess, Goro, and the kids outta the open. It's not safe." said Nick.
"C'mon, we gotta get to the train! I think they'll be evacuating people on the trains." said Judy.
"Mommy, what's that?" Sheila pointed down the street to the left.
Judy looked, and her eyes widened with terror. It was a giant tidal wave, roaring across Sahara Square from the sea.
"RUN!" Judy screamed.
The Wildes, Miki, and Goro ran along with the rest of the crowd, trying to outrun the massive wave of water. The train station seemed like the best option to reach high ground.
A whole group of mammals burst into the station, and up to the second floor, where the station met the railroad bridge. The water was rushing right below, flooding the streets, as debris, trees, and cars were swept down the current.
"Nick, there were mammals still down there!" Judy exclaimed, with worry and fear.
"Carrots, I get how you feel, but right now, we need to-"
"It's him." Goro pointed in the distance.
All the mammals just watched in stunned awe, as Godzilla, the leader of the guardian monsters, stomped right through what was left of the square. Above him, were Mothra and Rodan. That's when the gunshots ran out.
Helicopters with machine guns and missiles attacked the monsters, but to no avail. The Dorats made quick work of the helicopters. If anyone was gonna face the guardians, it was the Dorats, by order of their parent and master, Ghidorah.
Several Dorats had their attention away from the battle, and on the paralyzed crowd, more specifically, Miki and the necklace she still had around her neck, and forgot to return to Cody.
"There it is! Master was right! Get it!" commanded a Dorat.
Everyone screamed as several Dorats swooped down, and attacked. Everyone ducked, some weren't so lucky, as the Dorats caught them with their tails, and made mince meat of them, once they realized they weren't their true target.
"We need to get back inside, now!" shouted Judy.
The remaining mammals rushed back in, but one Dorat separated Miki from the group by zapping lightning around her in a circle. Poor Miki was stunned as the Dorat swooped down to catch her. Cody saw this, and despite his parents' warnings, Cody rushed in, pushed Miki out of the way, the Dorat grabbing Cody, instead. The Dorat made off with Cody into the sky. If it were an adult, the Dorat would've finished off Cody now, but the master's orders were to round up as many children as they could get their tails on.
"Momma! Daddy!" Cody cried, tears flying out of his eyes as the winged monster carried him away, to whatever horror it was that awaited him.
"CODY! NOOOO!" Judy cried out.
More Dorats swarmed down on the citizens that were stunned by the tragic scene before them, when heavily armed reinforcement helicopters came in, and blasted them with RPG's and machine guns attached to them. One or two choppers landed, and began directing mammals onto the choppers to evacuate, including the Wildes and their friends, leaving the hulking monsters to be distracted in their battle against the rest of the large flock.
...
Godzilla was the first to attack. Charging through part of the bridge, Godzilla smacked down two of the Dorats with his huge arms, and stomped them with his foot.
Mothra used her wings to create a gust of wind to send five Dorats down onto the ground.
Rodan impaled several of them with his beak, like a shish-kabob. The Dorats' scales were not as strong as Ghidorah.
Godzilla swung his tail, and smashed several Dorats against Sahara Square's climate wall, sending it crumbling to the ground, the rubble destroying the Dorats.
However, for every set of Dorats the guardians destroyed, more just kept coming.
Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan were left with no other option, but to resort to their beam attacks in the effort to take out the flock for good, but to no avail.
"There's just too many of them!" cried Mothra, as she shot several Dorats that were piling onto Rodan.
"Guess we have no choice. I'll hold them off, and lose them in the water. You two head back to Infant Island, and get more help." ordered Godzilla.
"But-"
"Mothra, listen to him. If Godzilla's saying we need more help, he must be REALLY at the end of his rope." said Rodan.
Mothra nodded, and the two winged beasts took off at top speed. The flock of Dorats took after them, but Godzilla blasted them to have their focus return to them.
Godzilla smashed through the wall, and leading the flock into Tundratown. Some of the flock were slowing down, affected by the cold, but they zapped their lightning attacks to reach a hit at Godzilla, who retorted with destroying them with his atomic ray attack. Most of the flock were beginning to adapt to the cold, and kept their advance on Godzilla.
With one final jump, Godzilla dived right into the waters of Tundratown, and swam below the depths, out of the sight of the flock, who zapped at the water, trying to get Godzilla to resurface, to no avail. The cries of Ghidorah snapped them to attention, and returned to their master.
...
Ghidorah could see what happened from hovering above his secluded spot in the Rainforest District, below a large, golden energy dome, where all the children of Zootopia were being kept as prisoners.
One or two of them were the children with the stones of power that he saw in his blurry dreams while he was frozen in his icy prison, and he would himself oversee that dilemma to his plans were thwarted for good. With the guardians on the run, all of Ghidorah's heads smirked with the feeling of satisfied revenge, and victory.
...
Twilight was beginning to fall. There was the harbor outside of Zootopia that acted as a medical and command center, where all the evacuated citizens were being treated to their wounds, and the soldiers were planning their next strategy.
The families that had their children kidnapped by the Dorats were all in a state of heart-broken sadness over their losses. Judy was doing her best to comfort Mrs. Otterton, who had both her two boys snatched during the evacuation. Judy should be grateful she still had Shiela, but both they and Nick couldn't contain their sadness over the loss of their Cody.
"Alright, people! Listen up!" called the commander of the military forces, a dingo.
"During the evac, one of our choppers spotted a large dome-like force field of energy in the Rainforest District, where all the children are being kept, for whatever reason is left unknown, for now. So, here's what's gonna happen! We're gonna send in small teams by boat, figure a way through that shield, and get those kids out of there! The teams will be moving out in exactly... fifteen minutes!"
"I think I know why the Dorats are kidnapping the children." said Miki. "It has to do with the prophecy. It is said that only two, born of different species, together with the stones Cody found, and the song of the guardians, can the guardians' true power be awoken."
"Shiela, stay with the Ottertons for a minute. We'll be right back." Judy told Shiela.
"Commander!" shouted Judy.
The commander turned to see the bunny, fox, and wolves approaching him. "Officer Judy and Nick Wilde. Sir, me and my husband would like permission to join your rescue mission."
"This is for military officials only, ma'am." said the commander.
"Sir, our son was kidnapped by those things! We need to rescue him!" said Nick.
"I understand your concern, sir. We're gonna do everything we can to save your son, and the rest of the children. But-"
"Perhaps, I can be of help." a voice called from behind the group.
Everyone turned to see a very familiar raccoon with big glasses.
"Dr. Serizawa." the commander saluted. "Glad you could make it, sir."
"Sensei." Miki smiled, and hugged her old teacher and friend.
"Your Highness." Serizawa bowed, respectfully.
"Hey, pen pal. What're you doing here?" asked Nick.
"Greetings, Nick. Sorry that this isn't the best way to meet, but, I was called to enlist the military as a consultant, and help in any way possible." said Serizawa. "Commander, these two officers are considered two of the finest on the force. It would give a great advantage in your rescue of the children."
The commander nodded in agreement.
"Miki, I also wish to apologize. Everything you told me when you were a child has come true. But, I didn't listen." said Serizawa.
"Sensei, none of that is important right now." said Miki. "What's important is stopping Ghidorah's rampage, and protecting those we care about right now."
Serizawa nodded. "Now, where to begin?"
Welp, that does it for this chapter. Next chapter will focus more on the mammal characters, and less on the main monster characters, except the Dorats. Also, the twin fairies will reappear, and have a major appearance in this chapter. Sorry if this took longer to update. I own nothing, except a few OC's. All rights go to original owners. No copyright intended. Stay tuned for more of this fanfic. Hope you're still enjoying it still, so far. Thanks.
