Hello One and All in Interweb Land!
Looks like the gang is ready to get their knowledge on about Godzilla and yes they are going to freak out a lot here. And most likely shit themselves as well.
Let's head in and see how this plays out?
INFO DUMP OF THE KING: WITH PROFESSOR MOE. NOW SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!
The HH Crew got a bunch of junk food and gathered some chairs so everyone had a place to sit. They even found a foot rest that was sturdy enough to hold Godzilla's weight and to his surprise was comfortable too.
"I think we're all set? Comfy seats?" Charlie went down the list.
"Check!" Niffty bounced in her chair a little.
"Tons of super unhealthy junk food that'll mostly likely give us heart burn?"
"You know it." Angel held up some candy, fried junk, and bake goods.
"Drinks?"
"Got em right here." Vaggie said drinking some of her soda.
"Mood lighting?"
"But of course!" Alastor snapped his fingers and the room's light dimmed to a comfortable glow.
"And I got the hard liquor!" Husker got out a case of some really expensive looking booze.
"Great than I think-wait hard liquor? What's that for?" She turned to the cat Demon.
"Something tells me when we know more about the big guy here, we might need this to help us through. I got a bottle for each of us." Husker did a double check on the drinks.
"Don't you mean shots?" Niffty asks.
"Nope, bottle each."
"Ok…I think we're ready Moe, let's get this show and tell going!" Charlie snuggled a little next to her girlfriend and she did the same.
Moe nodded as the small pyramids surrounding his head floated off of him and went to the nearest wall making a screen. Beams of light connected to each pyramid making a large Holo-screen for all to see. Everyone 'aw'd' at the sight with only Alastor not impressed by it. He always had a bit of a gripe with technology after the 30's but held his lips for now. Once it was ready, Moe turned to his audience and spoke.
(AN: Ok, before we continue, there will be things I'll be adding into this that's not part of the Godzilla mythos so for all of you that'll tell me certain things aren't canon, yeah, I know. This just helps to build the OP Godzilla I'm rolling with here, ok back the story.)
"Hello everyone and thank you for taking you time in order to understand a little about Godzilla." Moe address the small group as the screen illuminated a picture of a chibi Godzilla with the words 'All About Godzilla' next to it.
Some of the group went 'awe' at the picture while others just snickered. Godzilla's eye twitches a little not like this depiction of him but for now let it slide.
"In this presentation, I've condensed only a few things you need to know about him so it won't go too long. In it I'll be going over who he is, what he is, a bit of his past exploits, his powers and abilities, how he thinks and perceive things, and some of the things he's done. I'll will try to answer all questions the best I can with Godzilla adding a few things to give more context. This presentation is so you can understand Godzilla and will help answer the question about his redemption, ready?" Everyone nodded.
"Excellent! Now let's go over who and what he is starting with his name. As some of you pointed out, his name is…a bit egotistical but keep in mind he didn't give himself this name. In fact, unlike all of you, he was born without one and was only given a name by the humans later down his life. But this isn't the only name he has been given, he acquired several names and titles over the years." Moe started as we see a new picture with Godzilla just standing there.
"Such as?" Vaggie asked.
"Let's see. There's Gojira, Monster, Devil, Demon, King of the Monsters, Alpha Predator, Gigantis, God/Avatar of Destruction, Bane of Human Past Sins, God Slayer, Monster Monarch, Kaiju King, Nature's fury Unleashed, Destruction Incarnate, Terror among Terror, and his newest acquisition Angel Slayer…just to name a few." Moe said as the names popped up in screen.
Everyone was rather stunned to see so many titles and names for one person-er creature like him. Some sounded silly while others…yeah kinda intimating. They all turned to him with their expressions still the same wondering what he's done to receive so many names. Godzilla felt their eyes on him and turned to them with a raised brow.
"What?" He asked.
"Just…rather stunned you have so many names…some kind of scary…just a little." Charlie said in a small voice.
"I didn't ask to be called any of these, majority have been given to me by the humans out of fear and hatred."
"This is true, many of his names or titles are base upon his cosmetics, what he's done, what some perceive what he is, and general negative mood against him. Now before I move on, I want to ask you all how old you think Godzilla is?" An age with a question marks next to it appears on the screen.
"I dunno, twelve years?" Angel said not really caring.
"Got to be in his late 60's given how he acts." Vaggie said with a hint of meanness in her voice.
"From what I seen, it's more like a few centuries." Alastor said.
"That's seems high, I think he's in his twenties." Niffty said.
"Must be at least a hundred by now." Husker said.
"I can't really say but from what I feel…almost ancient." Charlie said.
"Interesting, well his actual age is a bit of a debate for certain reasons but generally he's roughly between 65 to 75." Moe began.
"Huh, that's not too bad, a little older than I thought but makes sense." Vaggie shrugged taking a sip of her drink.
"Yep 65 to 75 million years old." He finishes with a bit of playfulness in his voice.
When he said that, Vaggie, Angel Dust, and Husker who were drinking something spat out their drinks and started coughing harshly. Once they calmed down everyone turned to Godzilla and said the same thing in unison.
"MILLIONS OF YEARS?!" They screamed though Al was a little quitter than them but none the less equally surprised.
"Will you not yell, I can hear you all very clearly."
"Holy jeez your old as dirt!" Niffty gasped.
"Seriously, how are you still around? I might not be a science nerd but even I know NOTHING can live that long so what gives?" Angel asked with a slight irritation in his voice.
"It is because of his unique biology and abilities. You see Godzilla species has never been known due to his radical transmutation when he was exposed to high levels of radiation that was present back in prehistoric times where the levels were extremely high. In fact, he is classified as a Radioactive Mutated Prehistoric Amphibious Dinosaur. Though I wish to point out he is not an amphibious creature but rather a one with a amphibious life-style." The screen changed to a cartoon dinosaur being blasted and transformed into a cartoon Godzilla by radiation.
"I thought that stuff kills you on contact?" Husker asked.
"Oh, don't be mistaken it does and the dosage Godzilla was exposed to would kill you in a heartbeat. As luck would have it though this is the rare chance that this change him not only cosmetically but all the way down to the cellular level. In addition, it has granted him powers and abilities that has given him the edge over all his adversaries he's fought over the years given him the title, King of the Monsters. I actually have a video clip of his most infamous battles and feats he's done. Let's take a gander, shall we?" Moe started a clip on Godzilla's more iconic fights and feats.
A video started playing with [INSERT FAVORITE SONG] playing in the background giving the video same flare. The clip showed many of Godzilla's battles with different foes, using his powers, the places he's been, showing his more surprising feats, what he survived from, and showing the HH Crew he has changed over the years. It was an awesome video no doubt showing how badass he was but at the same time they felt a slight surge of renew fear for the King. The clip soon ended with Godzilla's iconic roar and fading into black with the words 'All Hail the King' appearing for a few moments before they too fading out.
"How was it, hopefully insightful." Moe asked the Demons curious on their response.
No one moved or spoke for a minute before Husker bends down to get the crate of liquor and nonchalantly handed the bottles out to each member who took it without asking or even looking taking the lid off and drank some of the booze.
"…should I be concerned about this?" Moe looked at them with a worried question mark in his eye.
"Nah, this is just to help us with the fact that within spitting distance from us is basically a god that has the power to wipe us out in the blink of an eye and we have been pissing him off so far and we are a hairs breath away from death. So, you know, thank fuck for hard booze." Husker took another gulp.
"Not me, hearing this oh so riveting tale of his has giving me nothing but pure absolute joy to hear that I can hardly wait to witness the real deal in action, I just took the bottle cause this is some high-grade good whiskey here." Alastor added taking a small sip.
"I find it rather strange you all seemed to be bothered with this fact about me when I can feel there are others of just as high of caliber out there right now that you have been among much longer than me." Godzilla questioned.
"The difference is they are somewhere not here, unlike you, which is more than unnerving to some of us and the fact you killed gods makes it worse for us." Vaggie pointed out.
Godzilla just rolled his eyes still not understanding what the big deal was. So what if he fought and killed creatures that were considered 'gods' it isn't that big of a deal and being called a god means even less. Hell, he himself heard tales of others species that killed gods and some of them were human, killing gods isn't much of a feat anymore in his eyes.
"If I may continue, yes, he has been considered a god among other things but he is far more than that, which I'll cover soon. As stated before, his powers and abilities along with his past exploits has made him rather known to some of the more powerful beings. Which I will tell you starting with some of his standard abilities. The first is his defensive abilities, going back to why he is millions of years old has to do with his regeneration." A picture of Godzilla's cells appeared on the screen.
"Thanks to a combination of mutations, evolution, energy absorption, and being adaptive caused by the radiation, he can heal from nearly any type of wound or damage at an accelerated rate. And because of this ability instead of his cells trying to replace damage cells and warring out over time, he can actually fully repair his cells which has given him such a long-life span. His other notable abilities are a near indestructible scales, high resilience to pain or injury, amphibious lifestyle, energy absorption, psychic abilities, and God-like strength and stamina." Moe went down the rest of the list.
"What was that last part Moe?" Angel asked sounding rather curious.
"Which one, the strength or stamina?"
"Stamina."
"Oh certainly. Godzilla here possesses an utterly insane level of stamina, allowing him to physically exert himself for serval hours without even tiring out. He has even fought enemies for days on end without rest or sleep though this does take a rather large toll on him but he has recovered rather quickly from those type of fights." Moe went into further detail.
"Really, you don't say?" Angel said using a rather suggestive tone.
When the others heard this, they all suddenly knew what would happen next making some of them groan. Godzilla didn't pick it up so he wasn't aware what will happen next and he was even more confused when he saw Angel Dust stood up and walked over to him with a sway in his hips and a coy smile with a look of a hungry predator. Godzilla made a noise that sounded he was confused at what he was seeing which gave Angel Dust his opening move.
"Is it true, can you go for hours on end without breaking a sweat?" He asked in a sweet tone with a mix of lust in it.
"If by 'breaking a sweat' do I exhaust myself from fights than no, I have gone on for unknown hours in fights were time is meaningless and have come out fine." He explained still not getting the point to the question.
Angel picked up on this and smirk seeing he could have fun with his limited knowledge on this. He leaned down so to make sure Godzilla saw a good view of his 'breasts' and continued his game.
"So…does that mean you won't get tired if you do other…extra activities?" Angel words came with a lace of seduction.
"Such as?"
"Oooh, a little curious, are we? Well if you want, I can show you a more excitable way to use that stamina of yours Big Boy." He chuckled a little.
"Are you really hitting on him now!? Your unbelievable sometimes going from fearing to wanting him in your bed in no time at all." Vaggie said a bit put-off by his actions.
"I don't discriminate who wants a piece of me, it comes with the territory you know?" He looked back shrugging.
"Angel, YOU came to him not the other way around." Charlie groaned through her hands as she buried her face in them getting rather embarrassed by the display.
"What can I say, I follow my Kink where it leads me. Plus I'm rather curious on how long he'll last with me. Now then, how about you let me give you a whirl huh?" Angel looked back at Godzilla with the same expression as before.
"Is this some short of…mating ritual you're trying on me Spider?"
"Oh now he gets it, how hard headed are you?" Husker asked but shrink back a little when Godzilla shot him a powerful glare.
"Perhaps I can explain why Godzilla didn't…catch on. You see, he has never known or been in a society like yours, thus he knows nothing about how others interact, the way of your world works, how certain things go, or understand many of the phrases, idioms, sayings, and the abundant forms that constitute a society. He has spent most of his time, when he's not fighting, alone. Kaiju such as Godzilla rarely interact with other species that don't involve fighting or killing each other. He usually won't interact with others of any kind for hundreds, even thousands of years at a time."
This new info was indeed a bit hard to understand since none of them thought no one would go alone for that long. Charlie's heart sank a little hearing this, she knew about him going alone for years, but thousands of years? She couldn't help but feel sadden to know that he's has been alone for that long and was ok with it. What cause him to think like this and why continue it for do long? There had to more than him just wanted to be left alone, perhaps after she knows more about him than she could not only understand this but help too.
"What?! That's crazy! Sure, everyone needs some 'me time' every now and then but to be alone for that long…how are you even sane?" Niffty asked rather shocked to hear this like the others.
"Cause I don't need it like all of you. In my world I don't need or want others around and I'm perfectly fine being left alone till the day I die. I can go alone with out the side affects you all seem to get for even going alone in less than a year." Godzilla explained.
"And I thought Husker was antisocial but you just raised the bar to unheard of levels." Alastor was actually shocked to hear this.
"So you mean your perfectly fine with being alone for thousands of years and think that's normal?" Angel asks.
"For me it is. I don't expect you to understand, we come from different worlds."
"No doubt about that hun, but even you must get the urge to get down and dirty every now and then. So, let me help you let loose all that bent up feelings you have, what do you say?"
"…I say your acting like that fox I met."
"…Eh?"
"After I first came here, I venture into the city with Moe to try and figure out where I was. It wasn't the first time I ended up somewhere for no reason. After a while I came across a female fox that acted just as you did but her words confused me to what she wanted until a group of weakling Demons came to us and one of them explain what she wanted to mate with me. I actually forgot about that day mainly cause if held no value to me."
"…Say what now?" Everyone asked having a hard time seeing that.
"He's not lying, a what I believe was a prostitute came up to Godzilla and as Angel tried to do get him to have sex with him, here I'll show you." He should them a clip with what she said to the time the three Demons came and what happened afterword.
Now this left the group rather stun that Godzilla was actually hit upon, course this was before everyone was calling him 'Angel Slayer' and it wasn't uncommon for something like this to happen given hookers like her have bedded way uglier creatures than Godzilla. But it was still surprising.
"And why the fuck didn't you hit that?" Husker complained at such a missed opportunity.
The others looked at him with a questionable gaze.
"What, she's smoking hot. Even I know a good smash when I see it." He defended yourself.
"If you're asking why I didn't mate with her was because of three reasons. I had no idea what she was talking about, even when I did, I had no reason nor urge to do so, and when those three came she left before anything could happened."
"Damn blued balled and cocked block at the same time, that sucks. Then how about I continued where she left off?" Angel asked going back to being sexy.
"With the exception of the last one, the same reasons." Godzilla said simply.
"Come again?"
"I didn't know what you were talking about but now I do I have no reason or need to mate with you."
"You serious man? I mean look at me, I'm a fine piece of ass that knows all the ways to blow your load. You can't say you don't want this?" Angel was actually stun making both Vaggie and Husker snickered at this.
"Are you deaf or stupid cause I just said I have no need to mate with you."
That made the two snickered even louder unable to keep a straight face.
"You're actually blowing me off…I can't believe this; you can't possibly mean you don't want any of this and WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!" Angel pointed at them who were now red in the face.
"Let me put it in a way you'll understand, YOU HAVE NOTHING I DESIRE NOR WILL YOU EVER, NOW LEAVE ME BE YOU LITTLE WRETCH!" Godzilla roared in his face to make his point clear.
That was the final straw for Vaggie and Husker as they are now full-blown laughing rolling on the ground holding their sides to the point they started coughing. It was all too much for them and they couldn't care how they look; it was all too funny. Angel Dust turned red and stomped over back to his seat grumbling about 'he doesn't know what he's missing' all the while hearing the laughter of the two residents as Charlie pats his back in sympathy.
"Goddamn that was funny, I don't think I laugh that hard in ages. Oh man, that was priceless." Vaggie wiped away the tires as she tried to get back to her seat.
"I know right, that got to be the funniest shit I've seen in a long time. Serves that dumbass alright." Husker said after calming down a bit.
"How about we just move along before this gets too far out of hand. Moe if you please?" Charlie spoke up.
"Of course, now I will touched a little on his other defensive abilities, his near indestructible scales and high pain tolerance. Along with his regeneration, Godzilla has survived many types scenarios from weapons, enemy attacks, and environmental dangers. He has survive some rather unimaginable feats that most can't. He has survive a dip in lava, the cold grasp of space, the deepest depths of the oceans, extremes pressures and temperatures, tanking a meteor point blank without a scratch, having different parts of his body destroyed, having being subjected to all kinds of weapons and came out ok, been attack by God-like beings and overcome it all, and he even survive a human-made miniature blackhole that was so powerful it ripped open a hole in the Space Time Continuum and he survive two of those." As Moe went down the list a little cartoon of all that he said played on the screen.
Once again, everyone was dumbfounded at what they heard. It was really beginning to sink in that Godzilla was indeed a unstoppable force that none can take on.
"…Holy Shit!" Charlie spoke softly with wide eyes.
"Damn, it seems the Dinosaur is some sort of God alright…almost feels like he's a little over powered if you asked me." Husker said.
"It would seem so but you have to remember to get to where he is today took millions of years of adaptation, evolution, survival, fighting, and a whole slew of different aspects that help shape and form many of his powers and abilities. This didn't happen overnight." Moe pointed out.
"And the final product is this fine specimen we have here folks, a ferocious, dangerous, deadly, and all around fine grade killing machine we have today!" Alastor hyped up what Godzilla was to him making a little show using his powers.
"The fact you are enjoying this makes me think your going to do something I will kill you for." Godzilla narrowed his eyes at Alastor not liking what this could mean.
"Now no need to worry, even I know not to poke a sleeping bear."
"Cough 'bullshit' cough." Vaggie not so subtly remarked.
"Oh yeah, very subtle there Vags." Angel Dust said with a smirk.
"Now we come to his powers that, thanks to the mutation from the radiation, has given him incredible radioactive powers at his will. He most used and famous attack is called the Atomic Breath which is a concentrated stream of radiation that shoots out of his mouth like a laser if you will. He can increase the power to be more destructive and powerful. Another attack is called Nuclear Pulse which is a short range omni-directional attack that you saw him do when those angels all ganged up on him that pushes his enemies away or even kills them depending how much he puts in it. And the last attack you saw was his Radiation Poisoning, arguably his deadliest attack." Moe showed each attack and what they did.
"Yikes man, that Radiation Poisoning thing looks like it hurts…I mean they all look like they hurt but that one must really suck to get hit with." Angel wince seeing the affect it had on the angels.
"Indeed, it is, what happens is Godzilla basically poisons you with radiation that infects and destroys you down to the molecular level and is extremely painful. In fact, the radiation itself is always a dangerous substance that when any organic material comes into contact it either withers away or dies depending on the level. Godzilla right now is always 'leaking out' radiation as it were as it is the side effect of his own mutation from it." Moe should a video of Godzilla just walking past plants and as time sped up, they all died within days.
"Before you start panicking Spider, no you are not infected like those angels nor will you be harmed if your close to me, though I strongly suggest you don't." Godzilla spoke up.
Angel was in the process of screaming bloody murder and going apeshit crazy about the possibility of ended up like those angels but stopped in mid-inhale. It took a few seconds to register what he said and when it did Angel let out a huge sigh of relieve and slouched back in the coach happy to hear that.
"That's good to hear but how can you know?" Charlie asked also relieved she wasn't infected since she did hug him.
"Over the years I learned to control how much radiation I let out of my body to the point my subconscious does it for me and now I don't need to control the minimum of it just the maximum. As of right now, not even a germ will be affected by it."
"Correct and going back to the Radiation Poisoning just like his other attacks he can control the volume of how deadly the attack can be. From surviving it but permanently in pain to die in agony within moments he can channel and control the amount in each attack. In addition, he can have the death be in mere moments to be a at least a week of unending pain before dying." Moe explained.
Now this really made them shit their pants in fear, with the exception of Alastor who wants to see that happened, at how unbelievably dangerous Godzilla is. It seems the more they know about him the greater their own fear of him grows. They all turned back to Godzilla with fear written on their face as he looked back at them but all he felt was being irritated by their constant disbelieve.
"Do you all attend to keep doing that every time you learn something new about me?"
"Yeah pretty much." Vaggie said rather quickly.
"Stop it, I'm getting annoyed by that."
"Wow there so much stuff about him, lot of it is scary. How much more is there?" Niffty asked softly.
"We are near the end. Now then, with all I have told you so far about him, though there is still more to him, this leads to the ultimate question, what is Godzilla? The answer is both simple but hard to understand. Earlier I said Godzilla was more than a monster, what he is in simple terms is a force of nature. Something in which that destroys everything yet not out of evil intent. He has caused so much death, destruction, misery, hatred, and fear onto others for years that one would mistake it as him as a malevolent creature, but in reality, he is akin to a natural disaster. He is a tornado, an earthquake, an eruption, a tsunami, and in some cases a wild animal. A creature that has brought much in terms of death and destroys much yet it is never out of dark interests. He might do those things but never for a moral purpose. He doesn't feel guilt or pride for what he does, he has no ill will to those that wish his death, he doesn't get nightmares for those he harms or kills, and he's never once shed a tear for even that of innocents. Through these actions and more he has made enemies and allies alike, praised and dammed by many, yet these are not by his design rather the unintentional results of who he is. Which some claim makes him even more villainess, yet they miss the point entirely. It's like calling nature evil, it's unfair yes but it is also unbiased to all and no one is above or below such treatment. And that is Godzilla, he is a monster by all rights, a creature of pure power and destruction, a force of nature unleash onto the world, and a being that is in the simplest ways is no more than an animal that tries to survive a world that holds no favor to all." Moe finished with a slight mature tone than the other explanations he did.
It was dead silence in the room as the HH Crew took in all they heard so far. It was almost too fare fetch to even considered to be real. But now knowing all they know about Godzilla; they saw him in a new light. They still have fear of him but in a way that makes sense to them. He isn't some God walking among mortals, a terrible animal that will lash out at any opportunity, some creature of unimaginable carnage, or a beast of a killer. And despite having things like enemies, allies, haters, and prayers, those are just the byproduct of who and what he is. He didn't make them, they made themselves from him.
And it was this that made their fear of him more grounded and in some ways safer.
"And this leads me to the very last point…and it is this point you will not like Princess." Moe said with a sad icon in his eye looking at Charlie.
"What do you mean?"
"It pertains to your ultimate plan to redeem Godzilla of his sins…and I'm sorry to say this but it was a failure to begin with."
Charlie felt her heart twist a little when she heard that and suddenly didn't want to hear the rest but she knows she needs to hear it.
"HEY! What kind of ass thing to say to her, you better have a good explanation or I'll turn you into scrap!" Vaggie threaten the robot.
"Yes of course. For you to understand why redemption will not work you had to know about Godzilla beforehand. Despite all he's done he can't receive sins."
"I'm sorry to interject but that's whacky nonsense! How can he have no sins if here's stuck here with the rest of us? You have to admit that seems to contradict what you have been saying to us this whole time." Alastor spoke up.
"A fare point indeed in which my I ask; can a storm receive sins even though it can cause so much damage? Can an animal who kills when its very life is threaten receive a sin? Do you place a sin on a natural disaster for untold suffering, fear, and hatred it brings? As they can't receive sins because of their very nature so is it true of Godzilla, he too can't receive sins for his very existence doesn't allow it to be for that just doesn't work." Moe explained.
"…touché, I see your point." Alastor nodded.
"Great we get it Dino-Boy ain't a scary jackass for the sake of being a scary jackass but that still doesn't explain how he is here in Hell right now?" Angel asked in a rather rude voice.
"Ah yes, that is a good question. This is where the whole 'life isn't fair' statement comes into play. Now believe it or not this isn't Godzilla's first time in Hell."
"…What?" Was the general response from them.
"Despite what you may think, I have actually died and been brought to a place that was called hell before coming here. Whether or not it was actually hell I can't say since I have little idea it actually existed before." Godzilla explained.
"Yes, in fact he has died four times and every time he does he has gone to different versions of Hell. As to why he goes to hell because when he dies his soul needs to go somewhere and since he's so well-known no other realm wants him in fear he could destroy everything. So, they just keep sending him to Hell not caring if it gets destroyed or if he stays there. Ergo, life isn't fair." Moe said.
"In other words, it doesn't matter if he actually has sinned or can be sinned, he'll just end up in Hell all the same?" Alastor asked and Moe nodded.
"…What a dick move to whoever keeps doing that." Angel pointed out.
"Ok no, that's it, this had just gone right into the bullshit territory. I can see he could live for millions of years, I can kinda get why he's powerful, and I might even buy into the whole 'he's not evil' but just barely. But you can't just pliantly tell us he has died more than once, went to different hells, and somehow got out and came back to life and think we believe that." Vaggie argued.
"Actually, Moe's right you guys, there are different versions of Hell in our reality." Charlie spoke up.
"Your shitting us, right? How?" Husker asked.
"I'm not really sure myself but my dad told me that there are multiple realities of our own Hell, some small others way different. And some I heard are the worst place ever compared to ours, a true living nightmare. I don't know how many or any of that stuff I just know they exist. But wait…if Godzilla has gone to these different Hell's and left, how'd he do it?" Charlie asked with some hope her idea could still work.
"Destroy everything, kill any demons who gets in my way, and blast the Gates of Hell wide open before coming back to life." Godzilla told them simply.
"…oh…of course." Charlie deflated after hearing that.
"Wait, if that's true than why didn't he do that this time?" Niffty asked.
"Because we don't know if he's actually dead or not. Despite what you think, the afterlife is more delicate than one would think. It is built upon so many rules and restrictions that if any one of those get out of line than it will cascade in on itself which could lead to the utter destruction of reality as we know it. And one of the big rules is no living soul can enter the realm for two main reason. The first is the energies of the realm, no matter which one, can have adverse side effects on the individual that could lead to greater danger which rolls in into the second reason that this could cause a domino effect in which it could end badly. Now the reason why it's hard to tell if Godzilla right now is a living soul or not is for the fact that one of his abilities is energy absorption." Moe started as a cartoon picture of Godzilla was next to an item giving off energy.
"He has the ability to absorb many types of energies into him which goes to his heart, which acts like a nuclear reactor, converts it into radiation which powers his attacks. Depending on how much and what type is how much he can take in and how fast. But back to topic, because he can do this it is hard for us to determine if he is a living soul or not since the signs would have appeared by now. And given who he is and how delicate the afterlife realm can be…well you can guess why him being a living soul with powers like his is bad. It was looked over because he was dead and for the fact that like everything else, just because he destroys something doesn't mean it won't come back later." Moe finished.
"And as Moe said if I tried to get out of here my way it could destroy everything in existence, including me. And despite what you think, I don't want either of that." Godzilla added.
"How gracious of you to hold back your fury so we can all continue to exist." Alastor said in a light joking manner.
Godzilla just shook his head at that not really caring how they see it. It was than Godzilla notice Charlie was slouched over with her head down as her hair cover her face and her hands were shaking a little. Godzilla cocked a brow and turned his head to the side wondering what was wrong with the Princess now. The others notice this and followed his gaze on Charlie making them all wonder what was wrong.
"Hey uh…Charlie, you ok babe?" Angel asked sounding a little worried
"…Is this really your life Godzilla?" Charlie's voice was but a whisper but Godzilla heard it.
"It is."
"…Then…what I've heard, seen, and got from both you and Moe here…along with what you told me before we came here…that all this time, this was it…this is what your entire life is…nothing but constant struggles and endless loneliness…of being hated, feared, and scorn by every living being…to be marked an evil creature and not be given a chance…to go through many hardships just so to be thrown into another one you never asked for or to be alone for thousands of years…even though you have done terrible things in the past to others it was never for vile intent or reasons…but yet you still pay...to be seen as nothing more than something that has no right to exist…and just to add to the pain…you are sent to hell no matter what to face even more difficult challenges…and when you come back to life…you just return to the exact same thing before you died…nothing changed, nothing new, nothing worthwhile…to continue this endless cycle you're in for all eternity…that is your life?" Her voice started breaking up near the end.
"Yes." Godzilla plainly replied as the words felt there was no hatred or sadness in that reply.
"Wow dude…you really got screwed over with that deal. Sure we all had a shitty life, that's partly the reason how we sinned and got here in the first place. But you, holy fucked did you get boned in the ass with that life. I mean really, you go through all that shit, then die, go to hell, and come back to square one to do it all over again? Niffty's right, how the fuck are you still sane and not went completely batshit crazy?" Angel asked looking perplexed and shocked.
"Because I understand and accepted not only this life I have but what I've become from it. The world I came from, a world long gone, had only one rule: survive or die. It was never about being good or evil, it has always been about survival, and I have survived through means you all deem monstrous, vile, and cruel. And you may have a point, this life I have has indeed change me more than you could imagine. It has made me a monster that is now hunted, feared, scorn, and despise by nearly all. Though it changed me it did not break me. I may have become a monster but by MY ways, not what was laid before me. I choose what monster I will be and in turned I became known as Nature's destructive power, a fury that knows no allies or foe. I have indeed killed many and destroyed much in my life for becoming what I am now but I shed neither tear or swell with pride for it. I feel no pity, hate, empathy, joy, or despair for all I've done."
"It has never been about being a creature of valor, malevolence, rightlessness, insidious, glory, or sinister ways, it has always been and always will be about survival. To survive and move forward in a world that only sees you as a freak of nature, a creature that doesn't deserve to live, a beast that needs to die, and a being that is deemed less than dirt. I understand all this, I have known being who I am and how I came to be has given me the life I have now. I have made many enemies through it as well who will do anything to see my death, even for those who are just near me will suffer even if they are not with me."
"I have lived this way for most of my life and will continue to do so. You ask how I'm still sane after all that? It is because I have accepted it for a long time but above all else, I just don't care. I don't care if I am a monster, I don't care if this is all that is for me, I don't care if I'm hunted, hated and feared forever, and I don't care what others think of me. I forged what I am through this life, it didn't forge me. Yes, it influenced some, but not all. Though the world has change so have I, for better or worse I changed with it. And I have survived countless years through my ways before and will continue to do so for years to come. For I submit to no one. I have no allegiants to any. Destiny cannot and will not control me. I will never be good or evil for anyone. This is who I am, this is who I made myself to be. A monster that is feared and hated by all but will never take sides through those reasons. I am Godzilla and I will fight, kill, destroy, survive and move on from any challenges set in my wake and push forward for turning back is neither my desire or choice. And nothing will chain me down to be anything less than what I made myself to be, nothing more, nothing less." He finished with a stern huff.
The group was stun by his profound words. It was indeed amazing that he has not only made it this far in life without going insane but to mold it in a way that he deems fit for himself. This ugly life he has lived for has changed him indeed but he chosen the changes he wishes upon himself and in turn has morphed him in a creature of neither good of evil will. Just a creature that is forged in power and unleashed to all whether or not they are innocent or guilty that is caught in his path has no baring to him. Like it was stated, he's a storm and storms hold no sides to any. If you're caught in their wake then you are caught, simple as that. You can hate and fear it but you can't change their nature.
"Damn…I gotta say, that's actually amazing…even after everything you just brush it past you and made your life around it to survive the worst of it…I…I think that's cool of you." Vaggie said rubbing her neck feeling a bit awestruck by this.
"Same…I've been through some heavy stuff in my life, not close to yours obviously but still I can see where you're coming from…kinda make me wish I followed your lead." Husker said the last part to himself.
"I can honestly say I did not expect to know such a way was even possible nor could it be overcome like you did. Truly you are going to bring such change in this world of ours. For better or worse only time will tell." Alastor said with a gleam of what is yet to come and he couldn't wait for it.
"Jesus man, you got one hell of a life that's for sure, makes me want to know more." Angel said wiggling his eyebrows a little.
"…Are we done with this? I am rather tired of repeating this answer and wish to stop. I believe we have our answer for today." Godzilla stood up and started walking to the door.
"Where you headed?" Niffty asked.
"I'm leaving. It is more than obvious that the Princess's plan to redeem me will not work. I see no reason to stay here as it will only waste all our time. I should have known this wouldn't work." He growled a little.
"You knew this was a bust from the beginning?" Vaggie asked.
"Not entirely since I had no real idea what redemption was so I couldn't say for certain one way or another. But now that everything has been said that need to be said I'll take my leave…it…was rather interesting to meet all of you. Odd and annoying…but I'm actually glad to experience this. Goodbye." Godzilla turned to the entrance.
"NO!" Charlie suddenly yelled standing straight up.
"Charlie?" Vaggie looked at her a little worried.
"I won't, I can't allow this to be the end!" She stomped over to Godzilla with a rather sour face.
"What are you talking about?"
"Even after knowing all this and hearing you say you're ok with it is complete and utter FUCKING HORSESHIT!" She screamed as tears started to build up.
"Uh-oh, we have a pissed off Princess in our mist folks. Better watch our step." Angel said cheekily but quickly reeled back from Charlie shooting him a glare.
"Are we still on this?" He groaned.
"Your damn right we are, if this is going to end, it'll end properly."
"It has ended or have you not been paying attention? What more is there to say, the life I have is not easy but I'm fine with it and have moved on. There, done."
"It isn't right! No one, not even YOU should have to go all through that just to be thrown in Hell and then returned back to it with NO GODDAMN HOPE OF A BETTER LIFE! You shouldn't be ok with any of that nor can I ignore one like yours. You deserve a better afterlife, a better life, and a better way." She protested.
"And what reason is there for me to do that? I have been going through this for years and it has never bothered me. In fact, why are you so intent of giving me a 'better life' when I clearly have no interest in one and just said to your face, I'm fine with it. And even if I would agree with you, it has been more than stated your idea will not work with me."
"I KNOW MY IDEA WON'T WORK YOU FUCKER!" She screamed at him turning into her demonic form again.
"Then why, what's is your actual reason to continue this lost cause? What other reason is there for you to be so enrage with my life that you feel the need to help me?"
"BECAUSE YOU SUFFER TOO MUCH ALREADY!"
Finally, the dam broke as tears stream down her face. It was all too much for her as she falls to the floor on her knees crying her heart out in front of everyone as her demonic form fading away. To hear all that and his own thoughts about it was too much for her to stand and nearly broke her heart. It was a heart wrenching thing to for everyone to witness, even Alastor didn't like this. Vaggie quickly went to her and tried to comfort Charlie but she was too lost in her own sorrow to fully know this. Godzilla was just perplexed and annoyed than ever but kept his cool.
"What do you mean I suffered?" He asked turning his head confused by that statement.
"The fact you have to ask just makes it worse…you lived such a horrid life for millions of years…it changed you physically and mentally into a monster…you might had control of what monster you'd be…but in the end you still became one…it has taken so much from you…has given nothing but true hell…that you had to force yourself to be ok with…just to survive and not lose your own mind…you had to make yourself a monster…just to fucking be able to move on…it...it just breaks my heart...what kind of life is that…what actual sane reason could be said to go through all that…to suffer all that...and all you get to show for it…is a fucking nightmare life…why…why…FUCKING TELL ME WHY!" She said through her sobbing, hiccups, and final outburst all the while having her fist clenched tightly to the point blood was starting to show a little as she was rubbing her cheeks trying to remove the tears.
Godzilla just stared at the crying Demon actually lost for words. He has never dealt with this before nor does he actually know what to do next. So, he let his instincts guide him though he has no idea what he was doing. He bends down as far as he could and reached his claws out to her near her face. Charlie and the rest of the HH Crew saw this and was rather surprise to see instead of going off on her or storming out of here he was doing this. Charlie looked at his claw hand unsure if she was seeing was true but she slowly reached out and gentle touched the inside of his palms. Carefully closing his hand, he slowly pulled her back on her feet with Vaggie in tow. Then without even thinking, he carefully wiped a tear from her cheek as softly as he can making her blush a little.
"No more tears youngling, you shed enough for today. Didn't I say you shouldn't waste these emotions on me as they could consume and destroy you if you linger on it? I…must admit this is the first time anyone has cried over me before…it's rather strange really…I don't know how to think or react to it…it's all so odd to me…odd…but rather welcoming. You continue to surprise me youngling even further. I don't understand why you care and perhaps I'll never will…perhaps that is your nature which makes you a rare thing to find. You are both brave and steadfast in seeing not only your dream will come true, but to help me…though it still baffles me. You are an unusual one Charlie…but one I find intriguing." Godzilla's words enter her mind and had a calm soothing feel to it.
Charlie was touched by both his words and actions finding it very surprising he could actually show such kindness, or at least close to that, to her. She felt happy to know that he could show a side that wasn't all pissed off, scary, or monstrous. And the fact when the soothing words enter her mind, it almost felt like it enveloped around her body almost as if to sooth her as well. Whether or not this was his intention was unclear but she felt it might have been, who knows?
Maybe there was hope for him yet.
"Wow…thanks Godzilla…and yeah I know I'm kinda odd but that's my charm. And hey, I knew you had a kind side to you. Look at you for trying to cheer me up." Charlie smiled through her tears.
"Don't push it Demon, I did what I did so you could stop this nonsense and let this be, got it?"
"Whatever you say you big old softy." She giggled a little seeing Godzilla rolled his eyes and huffed a little.
"…So anyways…I want you to stay here." Godzilla gave her a confused growl.
"Just hear me out. I know my idea for redemption won't work but perhaps you and I can find a resolution to you getting out of here. It might take a bit but I believe we can find the answer together. And if you stay here than the chances of others finding you here will be unlikely, not many would come here to look for you right? In addition you'll have a room and meals given to you when you need. I just want you to follow the rules while your here and try not to look for trouble. I don't want you out there where you can kill someone cause they pissed you off. I know you like your solitude and you might not like any of us but this could help you not only see what I'm talking about but maybe give you answers your still looking for. So what do you say Big Guy, wanna give this a go?" She explained showing a bright smile.
"…Very well, since it is clear I might not leave on my terms I am willing to let you help me. I can't say I'll follow everything you have but I will at least give it a chance, I accept your offer Charlie."
"Yes!" She pumped her fist in the air in triumph.
"Ok that's all great and stuff but can we end this sappy moment now, it's making me feel sick. Here sweetie, the crying look is so not your style." Angel handed her a handkerchief to clean herself up.
"Thanks Angel." She took it and wiped away her tears.
"You're going to be ok; that was a pretty harsh breakdown you had?" Vaggie asked.
"No, I'm ok but thanks for asking."
"Now that was a grand opener folks! Mystery, adventure, power, struggle, and tears all wrapped in one show. Stay to tune for the next one, I'm sure it'll be just as fun. Now then, I'll think I'll make some dinner tonight and I'll make sure you get a nice big portion! You'll enjoy it, I'd say it'll knock your socks off but you already beaten me to the punch!" Alastor laughed at his lame joke and headed to the kitchen.
"Despite him being a complete psychopath, he can make one mean dinner you'll never forget." Vaggie told Godzilla as she saw he was glaring at him not knowing what he was saying.
"Yeah I'm starved to! Oh, and by the way lizard-boy, just cause you shot me down for fun doesn't mean I won't stop trying. I do like a little challenge; it makes all the hotter when I get you in my bed." Angel winked at him and headed to the kitchen.
"I'd watch your back, he can get pretty intense with shit like that…though now he can leave me the fuck alone for a while…huh, guess there is a bright side of you being here, how about that." Husker smirked a little taking all the bottle booze back to the bar before heading to get something to eat.
"I'm glad you decided to stay! We needed more men around. You're a little mean but that's guys for you!" Niffty dashed away.
"For what is worth…thank you for given me the chance…it really does mean a lot to me…and I'll do my best to help you." Charlie gave him a quick hug and left.
"…For the record…I'm pissed that you made her cry…but…I understand you're not good at those kinds of situations…and thanks for cheering her up…maybe you aren't so bad but I'll be keeping my eye on you buster, that's a fact." Vaggie gave him a quick glare but still let out a smirk and followed Charlie.
"I must say this has been a day of quality info and I am glad to see you at least given this a chance. Maybe with all their help we can get you home." Moe said cheerfully and floated to the others.
Godzilla stood alone taken in all that has happened today. It was definitely a major change and something he wasn't completely ok with but figured he can handle it for now. He still has so many questions but he figured in time they will be answered, when was the problem but for now he has time. So, with that in mind he walked to where the others went and decided to try this 'dinner' thing.
And so, his time with the HH Crew has started and what awaits him might be a mystery but one he'll face no matter what.
And done!
Damn that was a little intense huh guys? Got some more character building from everyone and poor old Angel Dust didn't get what he wanted but it was sure fun to see him try.
And no one died, wonder how long that'll last?
Also, I want to hear from you what song you would have played where I placed that insert song joke. I'm interesting to hear your picks.
The next one will see how Godzilla will handle a day within the hotel, I got the stop watch here and we'll see how far he'll in a day without getting annoyed. Possibly no longer than 30 or so minutes.
Whelp that's it for this chapter, hope to see you guys in the next one. OUT!
