Author's Notes: Hello again! Man, I must be on a roll here!

There's nothing new to report on my end except that I'm making some good headway on chapter 4 and I finally have my music video done, and it's all thanks to the Toho film "Godzilla vs. Gigan" and the 1973 Disney film "Robin Hood"! Now I just need to do the OC bios and some messages from some guests I'd like to bring to the next Annual Disney/Toho Kaiju Music Video Awards event! Well, if there's going to be one.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of the 1978-79 Hanna-Barbera series Godzilla: The Original Animated Series, Hanna-Barbera does, or should I say Warner Bros. does. This incarnation of Godzilla is owned by H-B and Toho. The only character I own is Vicky, my self-insert. I also do not own the story that is based on the fifth episode of this cartoon series. Also, anything in bold when a kaiju character is speaking/thinking means that they are speaking/thinking in their native language.

I am also using Spanish words and phrases in here, the translations for which I'll put up at the end. Now, I have taken Spanish classes up until high school, but I am by no means fluent, so if I goofed up somewhere, please let me know.

Recap: The following morning after a strange meteorite crashed at Sundance Mesa, the Calico crew arrives for some sightseeing and end up seeing a few that they won't be forgetting anytime soon, like the strange Energy Beast and Godzilla's battle with it. During said battle, the Energy Beast manages to take in some of the saurian's hide and blood before effectively incapacitating him with an Energy Ball attack. Vicky comes to her friend's rescue and a special call from Godzooky manages to bring Godzilla out of his daze so that he can repair the dam before it bursts. Unfortunately, it seems all is not well with our hero so Vicky goes with him to check him out while everyone else decides to do some investigating. Meanwhile, the Energy Beast prepares to do his master's bidding.

Let's see what the Calico crew is up to…

CHAPTER 3

Sundance Mesa Dam Control

A couple hours later, the Calico crew, minus Vicky for the moment, arrived at Sundance Mesa Dam Control, where they met Martin and Nelik as well as two of their workers, Alan and Agnes Constanza.

The fraternal twins were brought up in a small neighborhood somewhere in South Arizona, their parents descended from the Mexican-Americans who came to Arizona in 1900. One day, curious little Agnes found a tape recorder labeled "11-54" amongst her grandparents' belongings and listened to it. What that recorder held was Steve Martin's radio broadcast of Gojira's attack on Tokyo and the day both Gojira and Serizawa met their ends. Later, she played the recording for her brother and the two ended up getting a history lesson on Titans from their grandparents (as well as a lecture on not to touch people's things without permission).

While Alan preferred that the giant monsters stay as far away as possible, Agnes became fascinated with them, especially Godzilla; she drew pictures of them and always kept her ears and eyes out for news about them, even though she always made a face when they spoke badly about Godzilla. She even kept the good Titans in her prayers at night and had dreams of meeting Godzilla in person!

However, life had to go on and Alan and Agnes were found to be a good team at mechanical engineering; Agnes had a good eye for detail and a slightly-above average capability in the memory department while her brother was good at the application of physics and procedures in the workings of mechanical objects. The two had managed to get into a good college, which is where they applied for the internship at Sundance Mesa Dam, where their combined hard work and overall friendly demeanor was praised by their superiors and coworkers.

Upon the crew's arrival, the twins were astounded to meet the famous group and Agnes was over-the-moon at meeting Godzooky. Alan profusely apologized for his sister's behavior, but the crew took it in stride, especially since it seemed that Zooky was taking a liking to the young, golden-haired woman. However, he couldn't understand her Spanish, so Pete and Quinn had to translate for him while Pete had to do the same for Agnes when Zooky talked.

"So, Godzilla is Zooky's tío?" Agnes asked.

"That's right," Quinn nodded, then explained to Zooky that "tío" meant "uncle".

"And he's taken care of Zooky since he hatched?"

"Yep, along with his older sister," Pete answered.

"But what about their parents?"

"We don't know anything about them," Quinn shrugged.

Agnes felt sorry for Godzooky; he had apparently come into this world a huérfano, but at least Godzilla had taken him and his sister in, and, by all counts, had raised little Zooky with much love. And that was something, she thought, that the GDF and MONARCH would never understand.

"Will Godzilla be all right?" she asked, having seen the battle through the cameras and had been worried when Godzilla had gotten hurt.

"We're sure that he'll be fine, he just needs to heal up, that's all," Captain Majors said.

Zooky then spoke and Pete translated: "And Vicky will make sure that he will have a good, full recovery".

"Buena," Agnes sighed in relief, already saying a silent prayer for the saurian.

"Well, I have to say that you couldn't have arrived at a better time, Dr. Darien," Nelik said.

"You and Godzilla," Martin added.

"What was that thing?" Quinn asked, referring to the Energy Beast.

"I was hoping you could tell us," Nelik responded honestly.

Well, Agnes knew what that beast was: Muy malo, very bad.

"Well, we all better find out before it shows up again," Captain Majors said.

"Sí, Captain," Alan nodded. "And the sooner the better."

"Have you seen anything else out of the ordinary around Sundance Mesa?" Quinn asked.

"Why, yes, as a matter of fact a meteorite hit near here last night, right out there," Martin said, pointing out the window.

"It was muy luminoso; you could see the glow from here," Agnes put in.

Quinn hummed in thought at that; she hadn't heard of many meteorites that glowed when they impacted, especially if they were as bright as Miss Constanza said.

"Maybe we'd better have a look," Captain Majors said.

"Surely," Nelik said. "On the way, Martin, Alan, and Agnes can show you the Solar Energy Collector."

The twins were surprised that Nelik included them with Martin in showing the SEC, but they accepted the task. After all, this was practically a test of what they knew so far.

Outside, at the Solar Energy Collector

Godzooky was astounded; he had never seen a shiny surface that big before. At least, one that could stand on its own without a rock wall behind it, had two other surfaces that seemed to be angled and two more closer to the ground. And what about that standing ball in front of it?

The group couldn't help but chuckle at the youngling saurian's look of amazement once they reached the Solar Energy Collector, even Martin had a bit of trouble trying to keep a straight face, but he managed to do so so that he could explain how it worked:

"The mirrored panels focus the sun's rays into that metal ball so that we can turn them into electrical energy."

"But what happens on a cloudy day?" Pete asked.

"That's why we still can't do without Big Silty," Martin chuckled.

"Mr. Martin is right," Alan spoke up. "On a cloudy day, this thing is just a big, overgrown mirror."

"Mirror?" Zooky asked, not quite knowing what that meant.

"Frankly, we were pretty lucky that the meteorite missed the collector altogether; this cost millions of dollars," Martin said. "If anything happened to it, I don't know if we'd be able to replace it."

"So you use hydroelectric power and solar power here?" Brock queried.

"Sí," Agnes nodded. "It's an effort to preserve the natural beauty of the area. The climate here is pretty delicate."

"She's right. Now, the crater is just up ahead; this way," Martin directed.

The group followed, going past the collector. Zooky got closer to it so that he could get a better look at it while walking, only to see something green enter his vision as he shifted his gaze to his right. He turned his head to see…himself?!

"Huh?!" Zooky exclaimed, extremely bewildered at seeing himself staring back at himself with a confused expression.

"Hey, Zooky, come on!" Pete called.

"No te preocupes, Pete; I'll get the pequeño pillo," Agnes smiled before walking over to Zooky, who was still trying to figure out what was going on.

This me is doing everything I do! Zooky exclaimed as he moved his arms, showing the wings underneath them. All right, let's see him do this! He then glared and spread his wings out so as to appear intimidating. Unfortunately, his reflection did the same thing with the added effect of looking bigger because Zooky leaned in.

"AAH!" Zooky yelped, quickly turning away. "He's a lot scarier, too."

The sound of giggling reached his ears and he turned his head to see the golden-haired female human coming towards him.

"Maybe you should avoid making scary faces in the mirror, cariño," she said. "You should try making funny ones, like this:" She then turned to the mirror panel, put her hands to the sides of her head with the thumbs touching the sides, wiggled her other fingers and stuck her tongue out while making noises. Then she pulled on her cheeks and rolled her eyes while still sticking her tongue out.

Zooky was almost on the ground from laughing so hard at the female human's antics. He then tried doing his own funny face in the glass panels and ended up making the two of them laugh even harder.

"See? Mirrors aren't so scary, if you make the right face in them," Agnes told Zooky once the both of them had calmed down. "Now we'd better vamos before your friend or my brother come looking for us. Oh, that means 'we'd better go'," she added, remembering that understanding Spanish wasn't something Zooky was good at.

Godzooky nodded and the two of them began jogging to catch up with the others. The young, winged saurian had to admit that Agnes was very nice, just like Vicky, and, after hearing how she admired his uncle, began trying to figure out a way how to get her to meet him.

At the crater

"Now that's what I call a hole in the ground," Brock remarked as he and the others stared at the massive crater.

Pete carefully leaned over to get a good look, not noticing that Zooky was too close behind. Luckily, someone else did.

"¡Ten cuidado, Zooky! Be careful or you'll fall in!" Agnes exclaimed.

"Sorry," Zooky said in kaiju-tongue before backing off.

"But where's the meteorite?" Pete asked.

"There's nothing down there but a big crack," Brock added.

Alan and Agnes both carefully leaned over and saw that Brock was correct; there was a long, jagged crack that spanned the width of the circular bottom of the crater. They had only barely seen it last night was because it had been dark out and the bottom of the crater had been smoking.

"It must have vaporized on impact," Quinn theorized.

"We felt it all the way back at the station," Martin said.

Godzooky saw that Agnes had a serious expression on her face that was pretty similar to how Vicky would look when thinking hard about something and lowered himself so that he could ask what's wrong.

Now, once again, Agnes couldn't understand Zooky's language, but she could understand expressions, and the concerned look on Zooky's as he spoke gave her a decent idea of what he was trying to say.

"Algo no está bien," she said as she shook her head, her ponytail slightly swinging. "Something is not right; if the meteorite had vaporized on impact, like Dr. Darien said, then how could it leave a crack in the earth? I've never heard of a meteorite that could do that."

Even though there were many things that he still had to learn about, Godzooky had to admit that that was pretty strange. And to add onto that, why only at the bottom of that hole? And why a hole at all? Why not a long trail of upturned dirt? After all, that was what Pete's aunt said falling rocks made when they hit the ground.

"Oh, the tracks are over here," Martin was saying.

"Tracks?" Zooky asked, quickly moving to the place where Martin was directing the others, Agnes not too far behind.

"See, they lead away from the crater," Martin said as the others gathered around the double line of oval-shaped imprints in the dirt, each one measuring the size of many grown men laid down.

"Wow! There's a lot of them!" Pete exclaimed.

If they are tracks, then we're dealing with a multi-legged animal that must have come up from the—No. No, wait. No, es imposible, Alan thought, not believing where his thought process was going.

"Whatever made these tracks must be mighty big," Captain Majors said as he knelt down to get a good look at the tracks.

"Too big to be any wild animal we know about," Quinn added, drawing on her knowledge of biology to see if these prints could match up with anything, but coming up negative every time.

Agnes watched Godzooky as he sniffed the trail of prints, wondering what was going through his mind. His furrowed brow seemed to show deep concentration…but then his lips parted to show gritted, sharp teeth and his eyes narrowed.

Muy malo. Very bad.

"And they lead over to that tree," Martin said as Zooky and Agnes followed the prints all the way to the end.

"What tree?" Dr. Darien asked in confusion.

Martin and Alan were about to correct her when they noticed…

"¡¿Qué?! ¿Dónde está el árbol?" Alan yelped.

"Well, there's a tree over there," Pete answered, pointing to the now-lone pine.

"We know that, Pete, but there was another one here last night, right at where the tracks ended," Martin explained.

Now Alan was really getting worried; Agnes had told him last night that she felt that something was off about that tree. Now it looked like she was right.

"The tracks just disappear. Could they belong to our Energy Beast?" Quinn wondered.

"Whatever made them must have continued on across the rocks," Captain Majors guessed.

"But last night they stopped at the foot of a tree!" Martin insisted.

While that conversation was taking place, Godzooky and Agnes did a little investigating of their own.

"¡Lo sabía! I knew something wasn't right about that tree last night!" Agnes exclaimed, hitting her right fist into her left palm. She then proceeded to explain to Zooky about the second tree that her brother, her two bosses, and herself had seen the night before and how it felt unnatural to her, "cold" was the best way she could describe it.

Godzooky certainly picked that up, but he could also sense a faint buzzing sensation in the air, similar to how the air had been at the Bali Trench during the Megavolt Monster incident, but at the same time it was…strange. And way too familiar in a bad way.

Then his nose began picking up wood and something…sweet? It was coming from the tree next to them.

"¿Qué es, Zooky?" Agnes asked.

She followed him to the tree and…gave a gasp. There was a HUGE chunk of bark missing from the tree, like someone cut into it. This was something she had not noticed last night.

"Zooky, get me up there, rápida," the Spanish-speaking young lady said urgently.

The youngling saurian put his hands down, waited until Agnes was situated, then lifted her up.

"Lean me in a bit closer," Agnes instructed. "¡Para! Hold it!" she then said once she was close enough.

Carefully standing on Zooky's palms, Agnes began her inspection. Whatever or whoever took this chunk out of the tree seemed to know what they were doing. She suddenly gasped when she felt some thick liquid come in contact with her fingers.

"You OK?" Zooky asked in concern.

"Soy buena, Zooky," Agnes answered, not understanding his language but the worried tone in his voice. "Just something sticky on my fingers."

She pulled her hand back to see that there was a golden, syrupy substance on them. There hadn't been many trees like these back in her neighborhood, but she knew from reading about different trees that what was on her fingers was…

"Tree sap?" Now Agnes' mind was starting to really go to work; apparently the idea of taking a chunk of the tree was to get to the sap. But for what purpose?

"Abajo. Down, please," Agnes told the young, winged saurian.

Zooky lowered her gently, then spotted the sweet-smelling, golden stuff on her fingers and leaned in for a better look.

"It's sap from that tree," Agnes explained. "Well, I guess a good way to describe sap is that it's—"

"Martin! Alan! Agnes!"

"It's Mr. Nelik!" Agnes exclaimed.

She was about to respond when Nelik continued, meaning that Mr. Martin or Alan had answered first, "There's big trouble at the Mesa City Power Station. I think all of you and our friends had better get back here right away!"

"Oh no! Come on, Zooky! ¡Vamos!" Agnes shouted in alarm, breaking into a run.

Godzooky didn't know Spanish, but he knew trouble when he heard it, so he followed Agnes and the others as they quickly made their way back to the control building.

"What's going on?!" Pete yelped as the group of seven practically burst inside the main control room; Zooky had to remain outside as he was too big, but he was trying to find a window so that he could see what was happening.

"He's through the fence now! Nothing can stop him!" cried a man's voice from a nearby television set.

"What is it, the Energy Beast?" Captain Majors asked Nelik.

"I wish it was, but I'm afraid it's worse than that," Nelik stated gravely.

"¿Qué quieres decir?" Alan and Agnes asked.

"Watch the screen, and…I just want to say I'm sorry," Nelik said.

Before anyone could ask what he was sorry for, the on-the-scene reporter from Mesa City Daily News, Carlos Cecilio, came back on: "Ladies and gentlemen, this…this is terrible. It's a day many of us thought we would never see again. It's like the clock has been turned backwards to those days when we would hear news reports of Titans rampaging through cities in Japan, with one name in particular standing out amongst them. And now…now that nightmare has come here to our fair city. I…I have no wish to reopen old wounds I'm sure many of you have from those days, but…I'm afraid this is something you must see."

At that last sentence, the young, tanned reporter made a motion with his head, a signal for his cameraman to point the lens at whatever was going on. And when they did…

Agnes let out a shriek and let out a rapid torrent of Spanish words and phrases that in no uncertain terms expressed her disbelief at what she was seeing before Alan finally got her under control.

The jaws of the Calico crew went slack; that couldn't be what they were seeing! It couldn't!

But it was!

"It's…It's Godzilla!" Quinn finally gasped out as she watched what appeared to be a 75-meter tall, charcoal-grey green saurian kaiju with a row of dorsal plates-three triangular dorsal plates that went from the back of his head to the back of his neck and the remainder shaped much like maple leaves that went down his back and tail-that were a darker shade than his scales, with a muscular, well-built body type, humanlike arms, sharp claws and teeth, and dark-colored eyes tear an electrical power plant apart with much ferocity.

"It's him, all right. He's attacking the power station," Nelik said, not quite believing that this was happening, especially after having seen him save the dam.

"You're wrong! Godzilla would never do that!" Pete yelled.

"But it is him, isn't it?" a random worker asked. "I mean, it looks like him?"

"But that doesn't mean—!" Agnes was about to say when Mr. Cecilio spoke again:

"This just in: We have a new development from our news helicopters! At least, those that are still remaining."

Despite the warm temperatures, that last sentence sent a cold chill throughout the room.

But Godzilla's been making sure not to get civilians in harm's way since Hong Kong! Quinn gasped silently. What's gotten into him to make him go back on that?!

"Apparently there is some sort of flying apparatus zipping around Godzilla and seems to be firing weapons that range from lasers to flamethrowers to even some sort of long, green whip at him. I don't know if you can see it from where we are, but Godzilla definitely seems to be aware of it and he's not budging an inch."

"'A green whip'?" Brock echoed worriedly.

"That can't be who I think it is," Carl Majors trailed uneasily.

"According to those who had been brave enough to get a closer look, they claim to have seen a 12-year-old female girl standing at about 5'11" flying about on some gray, wheel-less skateboard while firing said weapons at the creature. Any and all attempts to dissuade her from this action have failed."

"But…But Godzilla and Vicky are friends; why is she attacking him?" Pete asked, now more confused than ever.

"I don't know, Pete," Quinn said gravely. "I just…don't know."

Outside, Godzooky was in absolute shock at what he had been hearing: His uncle attacking a human place, intentionally killing people, and now Vicky was fighting him?! This was unbelievable!

Godzooky squeezed his eyes shut and covered his ears, as if to stop these things from being true, but they echoed in his mind until tears started falling from his closed eyes.

It's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's just a dream… he tried to keep telling himself over and over.

His friends were trying to tell themselves that too, but they couldn't deny what they were seeing, even though Agnes was trying really hard.

Carlos went on, "I don't know what will happen once Godzilla is finished here, and, frankly, I don't want to know. But I, and everyone at Mesa City Daily News, will do our best to keeping bringing you coverage of this unprecedented event as it goes. In the meantime, any and all nearby cities must prepare themselves for Godzilla's wrath. This is Carlos Cecilio of Mesa City Daily News, asking everyone to please say a prayer for our city. Stay tuned."

Grim. I'd say that's pretty much the best way to sum up the ending of this chapter in one word.

Getting off that for the moment, I promised that I would reveal Alan and Agnes' last name in this chapter, and it is "Constanza", which, according to 20-000NAMES, means "steadfast" in Spanish. Considering how long Agnes has been a fan of the good kaiju/Titans, the last name is not surprising, and it's really going to show down the line! Speaking of her, she is so excited to meet a real kaiju, and a young one, no less! And she certainly doesn't waste time asking questions about him and Godzilla, making her the only person outside the Calico crew who knows about the relationship between Zooky and his uncle as well as the fact that the youngling kaiju has a big sister and there is no information on his birth parents.

And if you recall the 1956 English dub of the original "Gojira" called "Godzilla: King of the Monsters!", then you'll remember the reporter Steve Martin played by actor Raymond Burr and the account he gave of the entire affair. I know that Martin was caught in the building that Gojira destroyed in the movie, but maybe his recorder somehow survived and he managed to send it back to his superior, where it was played over the American airwaves, thus Alan and Agnes' grandparents heard it and one of them recorded the broadcast. It's just a thought and a wild shot at best, so maybe don't quote me on it.

Meanwhile, the investigation of the Energy Beast's appearance goes into full swing and the crew is taken by Martin, Alan, and Agnes to the crater, but not before making a stop at the Solar Energy Collector, where Alan unknowingly lets slip something that is going to be very useful later on. And about the climate being delicate in the mesa area, I read that about Arizona's climate on the site Britannica while looking up information about the state so that I could give a location for where Agnes and Alan grew up; the exact sentence was: "Such spectacular landforms as the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert have become international symbols of the region's ruggedness, yet Arizona's environment is so delicate that in many ways it is more threatened by pollution than are New York City and Los Angeles". So, that may place Sundance Mesa in Arizona or maybe in a nearby state with a similar environment.

And let me tell you that this will not be the last time Godzooky spooks himself in a mirror, no sir! XD

The group soon arrives at the crater to see the crack at the bottom of the hole and the tracks. Meanwhile, Agnes and Godzooky do some detective work of their own and find that the remaining pine tree has had a big chunk taken out of it and some sap is leaking from it. Before anything else can be done though, Nelik calls the others to come back to the control building where he shows the group an unbelievable and upsetting TV broadcast: Godzilla is in Mesa City and is attacking the power station and killing people in the process! The team is understandably shaken by this, and the confusion only grows when they learn that Vicky is also in the area and battling Godzilla by herself! What is going on here?!

Before we answer that, here are the questions:

Now that you know the background of the Constanza twins, any thoughts?

What questions would you ask about the events that occurred before the Energy Beast's attack?

What kind of investigating would you do at the site of the meteorite crash now that it's daylight?

What do you think Agnes was going to tell Zooky about the tree sap before Nelik called?

What thoughts would be going through your mind as you watch Mr. Cecilio's broadcast?

Here are the translations:

Tío – uncle

Huérfano – orphan

Buena – good

Muy malo – very bad

Sí – yes

Muy luminoso – very bright

No te preocupes – Don't worry

Pequeño pillo – little rascal (apparently pillo is the colloquial version of "rascal" according to the site spanishdict)

Cariño – When used in the general sense, it means "fondness" or "affection". When used as a nickname, as Agnes does here, it can be translated to "dear", "sweetie", or "honey". In this case, she's calling Zooky "sweetie", as in he's a sweet little kid.

¡Ten cuidado! – Be careful!

Algo no está bien – Something is not right

Es imposible – it's impossible

¿Dónde está el árbol? – Where is the tree?

¡Lo sabía! – I knew it!

Rápida – quick

¡Para! – Stop!

Soy buena – I'm good

¿Qué quieres decir? – What do you mean?

Oh boy, this looks bad, doesn't it? Well, not to worry folks, you'll find out just how that scene on the TV came about in the next chapter, which will show Vicky's side of the whole thing.

Until then, please read and review. Thank you!
