Japanese Prime Minister Noguchi Yuji looked out the window of the Japanese parliament building. 25 years. It was hard to believe that it had been a quarter of a century since a giant monster was sighted. Yuji remembered that era well. In his younger years, he had been part of the crew of one of the freezer cannons that had taken down Destoroyah.
Emphasis on had been. G-force and the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center had been gone for years now. After over two decades of defunding following zero kaiju sightings after Destoroyah, and the Americans having pulled out of the U.N.G.C.C due to the paranoia created by 9/11, both organizations had closed their doors in 2017, and all of their attack vehicles had been scrapped, including the Super-X3.
In addition, the sole remaining head of Mecha-King Ghidorah had been destroyed by the Japanese Government to prevent it from being used by any other nation. This was due to a widespread belief in parliament that the future of the "Futurians" (the nickname used by those in the government to refer to the trio of time travelers that had arrived from the 23rd century in 1992) to be a fixed point that had to be preserved.
So they destroyed anything that might have made the futurians privy to these events having happened previously, including all records of their existence. Some in parliament had protested this decision, but there was nothing that they could do. In the minds of the general public, giant monsters were long extinct. That brought Yuji's mind back to something he had long since tried to forget.
While giant monsters were dead to the general public, the former members of G-force and the U.N.G.C.C knew that there was still one monster out there: Godzilla Junior. The prince of monsters hadn't been seen since the death of his father, and the general public believed him to have been killed by Destoroyah alongside his father.
Thankfully, nothing had been attacked, so it seemed that this Godzilla wasn't as hostile as his father had been. Yuji remarked to himself,
"If only Saegusa hadn't lost her psychic powers, we could know for sure what the younger Godzilla has been doing."
Miki Saegusa had lost her psychic powers following the death of Godzilla, which had been speculated to be because of her psychic link to the monster king. After Destoroyah's death, she had retired to a quiet life in the city of Machida and had disappeared from the public eye. Yuji was then snapped out of his daydreaming by his phone ringing. It was time for a cabinet meeting.
The Japanese prime minister quickly walked out of his office, completely unaware that Japan's era of peace, like all things, could not last forever.
The people of the city of Fujinomia were going about their lives. Socializing, driving to work all the normal things one would do. As one citizen was walking home from work, he noticed something in the distance. What looked to be a meteor descending from above Mount Fuji. He didn't think much of it, but meanwhile in a city nearby, the meteor crash landed into the middle of it. People were in shock, screaming and taking photos of the crash, but that wasn't all.
From the smoke, a loud thud was heard. Then, a figure was seen. A gigantic bipedal metal bird-like kaiju lifted up its head, and its visor and headlamp began glowing a bright red, as if it had woken from a long slumber. As the people began to flee in panic, the Gigan Miles observed its new environment curiously. It roared, "saying" to itself,
"So this is what humanity has achieved in the 12,000 years since we were last here."
It then began enacting its primary directive: Destroy. A yellow beam of light shot from its forehead, reducing a series of buildings to dust. The civilians all ran and screamed in terror as the Gigan Miles began toppling buildings with a swing of its hook hands, rubble falling and crushing those who couldn't flee fast enough.
Dozens of slashes and forehead blasts reduced city blocks to rubble within minutes. The terror which had been forgotten by the people had returned. And it was making sure they would never forget again.
Meanwhile, as Prime minister Yuji was with his cabinet, the deputy chief cabinet secretary burst into the room holding his phone. Yuji asked,
"What is it?"
The terrified young man told him,
"Sori-Daijin, you have to see this!"
He then opened his phone and showed the cabinet a youtube stream of the Gigan Miles destroying a city. The cabinet's eyes all widened in shock, especially Yuji. the prime minister asks,
"Are you sure this is real?"
"Yes. every news channel in that city is covering this."
Yuji put his hands on his head in shock and horror. It couldn't be happening again.
"No…not again….not after all this time."
"What do we do, Sori-San?"
"...deploy the JSDF and send every jet and tank we have at it. And send evacuation teams as well."
Yuji knew that trying to attack the monster would be pointless. If even the weapons of G-force at its peak were barely enough to slow down giant monsters, what chance did the JSDF have? But at the very least, they could buy enough time to get the civilians out of there.
The young man nodded and ran out of the room, leaving the cabinet alone. One of the members asked Yuji,
"What do we do?"
"Pray."
The Gigan Miles had just finished destroying the city, and after checking to make sure there he hadn't missed anything, it took off into the air. However, as it flew, it saw something in the distance. 3 objects which looked like large metal birds floated in front of him and opened up their "stomach" areas, releasing small pointy objects at him.
The Gigan Miles remembered this from other conquests. This must be this planet's defending force. It simply used his forehead beam to destroy the missiles and flew at one of the jets, swiping it with one of its hook hands and destroying it in an instant. The other 2 jets began flying the other way, and the Gigan Miles gave chase.
It began following after 1 specific jet, which tried to evade it, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't escape. However, the other jet managed to take this chance to fire missiles at the Gigan Miles's back. Unfortunately, all this did was draw the attention of the Gigan Miles, who destroyed the fighter jet with a single blast of his forehead beam. It then decided to end this charade, and sped up.
It quickly overtook the jet fighter, and before it could change its course, the Gigan Miles slashed at it with its hook hands, causing the jet fighter to explode into pieces. Afterwards, it flew off to cause more destruction, being pursued by 2 more fighter jets. Meanwhile, just under them in Tokyo, Japan's most famous city was facing its own problems.
3 Gigan Miles that had arrived shortly after the first alongside several others were attacking the city, the military powerless to stop them. 2 tanks fired on a Gigan Miles, who was completely unaffected and responded by firing its forehead laser, destroying the tanks in a fiery blaze. Another tank attempted to shoot at a Gigan Miles, but it was stabbed by the claw of another, killing the person inside instantly. The Gigan Miles curiously inspected the tank, having never quite seen something like it before.
Meanwhile, one of the Gigan Miles was firing its forehead beam at the ground, and another one landed on the ground with a jet in its mouth. It then crushed the jet with a bite, killing the person inside of it. Meanwhile, Yuji was looking at his phone in horror. All of this was being broadcast by the minute.
He thought just one of these things was bad. Now there were multiple. He asked himself,
"Just where do these things come from?"
However, he then remembered something. About 9 months after Mothra and Battra's battle with Godzilla, another expedition had been authorized to head to Infant island. Among the relics found there were murals depicting Mothra fighting several kaiju resembling these kaiju, which the ancient texts referred to as…
"Gigan…"
Yuji now more than ever loathed the government's decision to disband G-force and scrap all of its weapons. Perhaps with the Super-X3, they might have had a chance. But now, unless a miracle happened, Japan and humanity at large was doomed. Luckily for humanity, the miracle Yuji hoped for would come, and from the most unlikely of places.
He looked into the sky as more shooting stars fell. But these weren't shooting stars. Who somehow knew that instantly. These creatures were like the one that had come from the stars and taken him a long time ago. He remembered that time well. After the devil had killed him and his father had burned, he vowed to never be weak again.
He had spent a quarter of a century training his body, and now, his first test was descending to Earth from the stars. He began swimming towards where the shooting stars were falling. For all these years, he had stayed out of the way of humans, as a form of respect to them for raising him. He wouldn't go out of his way to attack them.
Eventually, he emerged on the mainland, ready for battle. With a roar, Godzilla Junior began his march to Tokyo to face his destiny.
Author's note: So, that was chapter 2. Unfortunately, these chapters are going to be shorter than my usual fanfictions as I am really bad at stretching out city destruction, so expect this fanfiction to be quite short too. In fact, the next chapter might be the end, as Godzilla Junior battles the Gigan Miles.I'll be seeing you all then! And merry (early) Christmas!
