CHAPTER 5: The Resurgence of a Destroyer
City of Manhattan 4:45 PM
The leviathan on a path, slowly but surely trampling everything in its wake. The buildings it pushes down falls and crumbles on to its body, taking no notice and continuing its course. The people of New York City running in the multitudes over cars, into buildings and racing out of the destructive force of Godzilla's tread.
"We need to get down there." Bruce said to them.
"We?" Hawkeye chuckled, "you need to get down there, I'm out." He told him.
"No. He's right. we all need to go down there and fight that… thing." Cap said, trying to motivate everybody.
"The Hell spawn creature is bigger than a bilgesnipe," Thor said, " but I would like to destroy it for hurting this city."
"Alright it's settled, we will try to kill Godzilla." Tony said in his red and yellow mechanic suit.
As they closed their meeting on the rooftop, a roar of the Quinjet was heard before it landed in a flat spot on the concrete. The driver's door opened and the face of a battle ready, red haired woman came into view.
"Hello boys." Black widow said as she exited the jet. "I'll give anybody a ride who needs it."
"Oh, I don't need a ride." Tony told her.
"I figured." She said.
"Alright, let's move!" Steve yelled.
As Black Widow, Hawkeye, Bruce and Steve got onto the jet and flew away. Iron Man and Thor did the same.
As they reached the drop-off location, they disembarked from the jet, suite or stopped flying before they regrouped.
"So, do we have any plans on how we are going to pull this off?" Bruce asked.
"Yes, but you just need to get angry." Steve said.
"I have a plan to get angry, I just need to be under a foot." He told him.
"I don't get it." Thor said.
As Tony was thinking about what he said, his eyes widened. He looked at Bruce then to Godzilla, then to Bruce then to Godzilla. He finally figured it out and looked at the others.
"I know what he is going to do," he said quickly, "and we need to move."
"Okay, let's move." Steve said to them excluding Bruce.
As Godzilla grew closer Thor and Iron Man flew away with Black widow, Captain America and Hawkeye in the quinjet; all of them looking for civilians on the ground.
Bruce got into the path of Godzilla sat down and he drank the green liquid. As it went down to his stomach he felt a big tingly feeling.
As Godzilla was almost to the spot that Bruce was. He was getting nervous. He closed his eyes when the shadow covered the spot where the seemingly normal human sat. The foot came down and the sound off another foot step was heard. Godzilla glanced down at his foot when he felt something grabbing it. Without warning the infamous foot grabber lifted up the giant's leg and tossed Godzilla into a nearby building.
"AAAAAARRRGGHHHHHHH!" Hulk let out an ear deafening scream of anger.
Out from the ruble rose Godzilla who roared right back at the green hero. Then out from the sky, the quinjet fired about 50 plasma bullets into Godzilla's face. They continued to fly above him, turning the attention to them instead of the Hulk. The aircraft turned back towards Godzilla and fired a rocket aiming for its mouth. Its head was shaking and its tongue was moving around its mouth recognizing the foul taste of the smoke and the burning sensation of the explosion. As he was about to roar, Iron Man flew up to his eye and blasted it with his repulsor beams. With the sudden pain Godzilla backed into a building put his head down covering one of his eyes with the palm of his hand. Blinking rapidly, he gained back his eyesight trying to look for the culprit. He set his gaze on the flying robot as it turned to an Angry glare. The dorsal fins on his back began to glow blue, and a light began to illuminate the top of its throat.
"Oh $&#." Iron Man said and flew out of the way.
Hi aim was not particularly at him, but the building behind him. Godzilla inhaled, then he fired his signature atomic breath at the Chrysler building. The laser beam of pure radiation burned through the middle of the building, melting through the medal dooming causing it to fal. This resulted in one giant cloud of smoke to shroud the city.
Tall building 5:00 PM
A woman with long dark brown hair was holding her green emerald good luck necklace as she was waiting in line for a job at an office.
"Next!"
The woman walked up to the desk, as she was smiling.
"What's your name?" The secretary asked.
"Avery Pratts." She replied.
"Okay. Now, I need to see the resume that you-." The woman behind the desk stopped speaking and had a look of fear and astonishment , while looking behind Avery.
"What is it?" Avery asked before she looked behind herself and saw Godzilla coming straight towards them out of the window.
"Holy SH-!" Before she could finish her sentence, Thor popped into view and hit Godzilla with his hammer. He flew above the beast and said, "feel the power of the mighty Thor!" While he was spinning the hard-hitting object.
As the the two women were watching the battle, more and more people were rushing bt them pushing each other making their way to the stairs trying to get down to the lobby in time.
"Ma'am we need to get out of here!" The secretary yelled at Avery as she was collecting things from her desk than running to the stairs like everyone else.
Avery was just standing there looking at the monster that could very well end her life. Her attention went from the monster to the areas around it. As she focused to the multiple buildings that were surrounding Godzilla and were at risk of collapsing if the monster got any closer she saw groups of people in the windows running around and others banging on the glass. Most of them were crying as the anticipated their imminent demise.
"I need to do something…" her eyelids narrowed as her eyes moved like calculating some sort of equation or problem in her head. As she was looking out of the window she started to smile. Her eyes opened wide, "alright, let's do this." She removed her contacts which had a brown color to them used to change the color of her eyes and put them in their case. She looked at her reflection and without delay her eyes changed to a vibrant green color with specks of black and white in them. A moment later she was gone.
As thunder clouds bursting with light came over them, Thor raise his hammer to the sky and a bolt of lightning struck the medal absorbing the energy. Then he put the electricity filled Moljinar in the direction of Godzilla and blasted the lightning at him. But just in time, Godzilla turned around and the lightning struck his back sending electricity up and down the white spines. Thor (not knowing that electricity made Godzilla stronger in the past) laughed when Godzilla stumbled to the side. Godzilla opened his eyes revealing them glowing white with faded blue spots and sparks of lightning bolting around them. His spines started to glow one by one, as a blue glow came from the back of his mouth. It grew and engulfed the inside area of the gapping reptilian jaws; as Godzilla was ready to fire his atomic ray he closed his mouth, inhaled and roared.
As he composed the sound a giant short range nuclear pulse emitted from his body destroying buildings, cars and other city objects 660 feet away from him. The initial pulse hit Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man knocking them into buildings and to the ground. The shockwave of the pulse went 990 feet away from Godzilla making the windows break of the buildings in that area and it also affected the quinjet making it swerve in the air but not into the buildings.
"Cap look. There's people down there!" Black widow said to him.
As Captain America looked where she was referring and saw three young people.
"Let's land." He said to her.
"On it." She said as she descended to land by the three girls.
The captain exited the landed aircraft and started to talk to the people who looked like college friends. But Godzilla saw where the bird landed, and he started to walk towards it ignoring the futile attempts of the others to take him down.
"Alright, you all need to get in the jet now." He commanded.
The girl that looked like she has a broken leg, let out a scream pointing to the monster walking towards them. Godzilla stopped in his tracks and he started to ready his atomic weapon aiming at them intending to blow them up. The roar of plane engines off in the distance caught Big G's attention. From the sky seven U.S. F-22 fighter jets in a "v" formation started to fire bullets and rockets at him dragging his gaze to the look alike flock of killer geese.
"I thought the military backed down." Hawkeye said.
"Maybe it's someone else." The Captain said while getting the three lady inside, then himself also. As he said that the leader fighter jet's pilot patched into their radio.
"Hello?" The mysterious pilot asked.
"Hi. Who is this? I thought the military had backed down." Steve said.
"Yes. But like I said, I owe you one." He said giving a hint of who he is.
"Joseph?" He guessed his name.
"In the flesh, I mean radio." He answered.
"Why did you come here?" He asked him.
"When I say something I mean it." Joseph said.
Godzilla's spines glew and he targeted one of the planes at the end of the pack. The laser hit the plane and blew it up in the air. The formation turned around and started to fire rockets and bullets at Godzilla. He turned his head to their direction and fired his atomic ray and hit another plane making it explode in the air too.
As Godzilla was distracted, the quinjet flew away with the survivors and the heroes inside.
"Hope that got you enough time. We have to go and get back before our captain figures out where we went." He told them.
"That was amazing," He said, "and yes we got out in time, Thank you so much." Steve thanked him.
"No problem." Joseph said as he flew away with the other jets.
As Godzilla was watching the jets disappear, he turned and saw an illuminating light in the shape of an "A" on a very large tower.
