Here's another chapter! Thanks to ECHO-173 on Wattpad for his help making this chapter! Enjoy!
"Alright, troops!" Shouted Ichi, without a Russian accent this time, waking Godzilla from his slumber. "We have a new guest in this base. And I want all of you to keep a close eye on him." Godzilla stood up off the floor and walked down the hallway to the location of Ichi's shouting.
The halls were clean and made from metal, Godzilla could feel Hollow Earth's radiation coming from every nook and cranny of this place. 'Gonna have to ask where this place is getting this energy from. Wanna see if I can't charge myself up with some energy. Maybe I'll be able to use my Atomic Breath again.'
Upon turning down the hall. Finding a golden three-headed dragon with two wings, two tails, and two legs.
In front of them were several cleaning supplies wearing different army clothing. A bucket, a feather duster, a trash can on wheels, a broom, a box of detergent, and a mop. Each one of these things was wearing an army helmet. "He will most likely be coming and going, using this place as a base camp. So tell us when he's here! Commander Bucket, you're on first shift!" Ni stated.
Godzilla stood there watching this in complete confusion. Ichi then roared while pointing a robotic finger at the broom, "Private Broom! Watch your language! You will speak to us with respect and dutifully!"
"What the hell are you guys doing?" Godzilla spoke up.
"Addressing our troops!" Ichi screamed before the mop fell to the ground. "PRIVATE MOP!"
"Private Mop is down! Quick, Sargent Trach Can go and get Medical Officer Wash cloth!" Ni shouted to the trash can on wheels. "Don't talk back to me!"
One of the three heads turned to Godzilla and greeted him with a smile, "Morning Godzilla! One moment we'll be finished in a second!" Turning back to the cleaning supplies. "Alright, everyone! Go to your posts and have a good day today!"
Godzilla stood there in silence as Ghidorah moved the dressed-up cleaning supplies around to different parts. 'I'm currently living with a crazy Kaiju... What has my life become?!' Godzilla thought as Ghidora
Later, Godzilla sat in the Mess Hall, eating some food at a table with the cleaning supplies that Ghidorah alaced around him. He even told the bucket to watch him so he wouldn't do anything suspicious. He questions how they went crazy when they had three heads with different personalities before remembering Kevin. "Come on, Lieutenant Detergent. Don't chew with your mouth open." Kevin said cleaning food from the detergent box.
"Brov, are we really okay with Godzilla in the base?" Ni said to Ichi who only scoffed.
"This is temporary… Once he feels safe we'll go for the kill."
"You just said that out loud and to his face Ichi."
"I know and feel like he knows it too."
"I did. Also, do you guys mind passing that ketchup bottle you have?" Godzilla asked pointing at the bottle of ketchup that Ichi moved away from him.
"NO!"
"Hey! We agreed no talk of murder at the dinner table" Kevin added.
Silence washed over the room before Godzilla spoke up, "So… Mind if I ask something?"
"Shoot, Mate," Ni replied.
Godzilla then asked, "What's up with you? You three didn't have separate names. You also didn't sound completely different from each other. Last I remember you three sounded the same."
"Our names come from the Humans. They named us Ichi, Ni, and San."
"Then I changed my name to Kevin 'cause I like how it sounds!" Kevin added.
Ichi nodded and continued, "Yes, well. As for how we talk, Apex's scientists changed our voices to tell us apart while we were still inside their computers. When everything went to hell. We started changing how we talk as well."
"I like the voice they gave me!" Kevin added.
"Went for an Aussie accent myself Mate!" Ni followed up.
"Russian for me, it makes me sound manly and taught!" Ichi said with confidence and pride.
"So the complete opposite of you," Godzilla responded coldly.
"H-HEY!"
"Alright. So, why you three were talking through a computer? I doubt you guys know how to use a microphone." Godzilla asked, pointing his fork at the three-headed alien.
Ni then answered, "Remember when Apex used Kevin's head to control the metal you?" Godzilla nods. "Well, after you smashed it, we got uploaded to Apex's entire mainframe."
"I was a giant robot!" Kevin said sounding proud.
"I wanted to be the robot…" Ni muttered under his breath.
"Since they didn't have any clue as to how to get us out of the mainframe, they just limited what was controlled by computers. The most we can do is open doors that won't close if something is in between the doors, talk through speakers, turn off lights if no one is inside the room, and control this one robot." Ichi replied, waving the arm of the robot around.
"Seems better than what you could do before," Godzilla said mockingly and with a smug smile.
"Shut up! Just for that Private Broom will not give you dessert after dinner!" Ichi said with his eyes glowing red.
Godzilla shrugged, "Probably crappy anyway."
"It was going to be an MRE, the kind that's a dry biscuit but we had BBQ sauce added," Kevin said as he pointed at the food.
"Gross. Alright, next question… What am I?" Godzilla asked. It's been on his mind for a while now, what was he? A Clone? A Fake? He needed some answers.
Ghidorah was silent before Ichi spoke, "You are… Godzilla."
"... Gonna add anything to that?" Godzilla stated.
Ni then spoke up, "You are Godzilla, the original one. You said you got a file from a dead Apex bloke?" Godzilla took the file out and began flipping through the pages. As he did, Ni continued, "These Apex buggers wanted to make Kaiju that they could control, if machines didn't work they'd make Kaiju like obedient pets."
"We would never be pets!" Ichi shouts.
"Unless they offered good food!" Said Kevin getting a slap to the back of the robot's head. "OW! Guys we all feel that!"
Godzilla stopped for a moment to look at the Anguirus file. "Cloning Experiment: Anguirus" With a green stamp of Success on it. Before flipping through more and finding several files with a red stamp saying, "Failed." Godzilla focused on the cloning test for Mothra, Rodan, Himself, and Kong. "So if cloning us failed, how am I here, and why am I small."
"They started with Mothra. They made Artificial Mothra Eggs, destroyed any eggs they could find above ground, and killed her." Ichi answered. Godzilla let out a low growl. "Don't get mad at us!"
"Are you angry? I bet you want to kill some humans right now if you could." Ni said almost mockingly.
Godzilla then replied, "Angry doesn't BEGIN TO COVER IT" His voice shook the building and made the mop fall over again. Ghidorah took a step backward.
"Private Broom, help Mop," Kevin said to the broom before turning to Ni. "Are you crazy to antagonize him?"
Ichi then interjected, "Moving on. They successfully made Mothra spawn in an egg, but she escaped soon after. Then they altered the formula. Instead of just making Mothra spawn from the eggs, they created what they called, Phoenix Eggs, to bring back a Kaiju who they couldn't clone."
Ni then added, "Yeah, you're a lot weaker than your original. According to the humans, it's because all the power we built up from the past is gone. When they disconnected Kevin's head we woke up. We can barely fly or shoot lightning. It's jarring, mate. Heck, we still can't fight properly cause that MechaGodzilla messed up how we move our body."
Kevin then spoke up, "Yeah… I got the worst of it. I'm not able to hear Ichi or Ni's telepathy anymore. I can't sync with Ni to fly. And I can't even make a small shock."
"So if we fought right now, I could be you up easily?" Godzilla asked.
"NO!"
"Yes…"
"Probably mate."
"So to sum up. If Apex couldn't clone a Kaiju, they just killed them and made them come back with these Phoenix Egg things?" Godzilla reiterated.
"Pretty much."
"Moving on… So how'd all this go down?" Godzilla motioned toward the base and how empty it all was.
"To be honest, we don't know the whole story, when we woke up everyone was either gone, dead, or dying painfully by those Skullbasterds. One broke in and killed Mop's twin."
"Rest in pieces First Sargent Second Mop," Kevin said with a tear running down his face. "We'll never forgive them!"
"All we know is that when they started to lose control of the situation. We opened the doors to the outside. Since we couldn't fight. We've just been stuck in here for… I wanna say 6 months. I'm never really sure." Ni stated, rubbing his chin as he tried to recall how.
"Any clue as to why I can't remember any of this crap?" Godzilla asked.
"A lot of the scientists who worked in other labs said, 'Project; Phoenix Gojira' was misbehaving. So maybe they pumped you full of drugs?" Kevin answered back with a question.
Ichi nodded, "Yes when we would try to fight back against them, they kept injecting us with some blue fluid. That stuff messes with your head."
"So once again humans thought they were making a solution but in reality, they might have just made themselves another problem that might be equally or greatly worse than what they were originally dealing with then, yes?" Godzilla asked. All three heads nodded in unison, and then a loud beeping noise began going off. "You cooking something?"
"YES! Just in time! My cake is ready!"
"Wrong Timer Kevin! The one for whatever that was you called a cake and threw in the oven isn't ready for another 10 minutes! That's the alarm for the H.E.E. Generator!"
"H.E.E. Generator?" Godzilla said confused.
Ni was quick to answer, "Hollow Earth Energy. There's a reason they picked this island for this whole operation, mate. I'm sure you can feel it."
"Really now? Hollow Earth energy huh?" Godzilla said with an idea popping into his head, one that might seem stupid at first, it might be an unknown energy that feels like the stuff from his home in Hollow Earth, but it could still give him a boost if he absorbs enough of it or blows himself up. "Where is this generator exactly?"
"Follow us. We need to recharge anyway. You'd follow us anyway." Ichi said as he led the way. "Why do you want to know about the H.E.E. anyway?"
Godzilla pointed to the outer walls of the base, "I woke up out there, and it is a mess out there. Pretty sure that Skulldevil knows I'm alive and after last night, I'm tired of running!"
"There is a small chance the energy might kill you painfully and- Why am I warning you, the likelihood of you dying is high, let's do this!" Ichi announced, Ni cheered as they led the way to the generator room.
"You guys really know how to make someone feel uncomfortable, don't you?" Godzilla said to them.
"Aw, thanks!" Kevin replied with an innocent smile.
"That wasn't a compliment… Ugh, I can't get mad at you…" Godzilla said as they made it to the generator's control room. Ghidorah's eyes then flashed as the door opened on its own, reaffirming that these three were connected to the entire base.
The moment the door opened Godzilla felt a surge of energy hit him like a title wave. Godzilla
The energy surrounded Godzilla as he tried to feel it and absorb it like water to a sponge, it felt right at first until it was starting to become too much, he felt like he was burning on the inside as his body started to glow. "T-Too much!" Godzilla then ran out of the room, the energy practically holding onto him before making it out.
Godzilla then weakly fell onto the ground and crawled out of the door still glowing as if he was burning metal.
"He's weak! Attack!" Ichi yelled before firing a lightning bolt from his maw. But instead of hurting him, the lightning bolt was absorbed into his body. Lightning danced across his scales as he began to glow a golden yellow color.
"Ichi wait! He isn't-" Ni tried to warn him before Godzilla released all the energy that was stored in him and sent the three-headed monster flying into a wall. "He- He was holding in too much power… Ow! I blame Kevin."
"Owie…"
Suddenly, a glowing yellow claw grabbed Ichi's neck. A very upset Godzilla, now shining a golden yellow like Ghidorah's scales and lightning. "I've been a good Kaiju! Please don't hurt me!" Kevin sputtered out in fear.
"Ichi, he stole our do!" Ni shouts
"We'll kill him!" Ich shouts as he and Ni lunge their heads at the Lightning Godzilla. Kevin clenched his eyes as the sounds of a vicious pummeling followed his brother's voice. "OH US THIS HURTS SO MUCH!"
"IS IT TOO LATE TO SAY SORRY?!"
"THAT DOES NOT BEND THAT WAY!"
"OH I THINK I LOST SOME TEETH!"
As Godzilla was holding both Ichi and Ni, he slammed the two into each other and looked at a quivering Kevin. Before reaching them, the glow that surrounded Godzilla started to fade, he looked like his normal self again before falling to the ground. "Oh, good, maybe I should help him out."
Kevin looked around as he struggled to drag both Ichi and Ni, while also dragging Godzilla's heavy body around. Better to have Godzilla as a friend than an enemy after what he saw or rather, didn't see.
Somewhere on the island, a Skullcrawler was chasing some small animals. As it was about to grab the defenseless prey it was quickly swept off the ground by something that took it high into the sky before letting it go. The Skullcrawler screamed as it fell and landed on another Skullcrawler, ending the two. The one that grabbed the Skullcrwaler lowered down and landed atop the two now-dead beasts looking up. It was a giant moth with a beautiful pattern of white and yellow. Mothra, the Queen of the monster, protector of humanity, and closet to Godzilla.
"Sigh, so many of these guys… wonder how the others are doing if they are on this island… I could leave at any time but what if they are here?" Mothra said to herself as she looked up to the night sky, wondering if anyone else was there, on this island. She then heard something.
"HELP!"
Mothra heard it, someone crying for help. She sped off to find who needed help, dashing past some trees into the jungle. She hoped to herself that it wasn't too late to save them before making it to a pit. Inside the pit looked like quicksand with a gorilla inside of it, but not just any gorilla, it was someone she knew, King Kong.
"HELP! I can't believe this is how I am going to die! I refuse to die like this!" King Kong said as he struggled to escape the quicksand that he sunk to his knees before looking up to see Mothra. "Mothra? Is that you? A little help please."
Mothra only looked down at the once legendary King of Skull Island, who was also Godzilla's rival. She stood still for what felt like a minute before turning around and flying away. "Bye, hope this isn't painful for you."
"HEY! WAIT! PLEASE!" King Kong pleaded, throwing away his once great pride for salvation. Mothra sighed and flew back before flying on top of Kong and pulled him out, luckily it was easy since he wasn't too deep in. "Thank you!"
"No problem, I guess you're the first monster I've met on this island. Have you seen anyone else?" Mothra asked.
Kong shook his head. "Nope, luckily too, I wouldn't like to be seen by the others with how small I am, I look like a normal Gorilla." said before getting a stinger placed against his neck. "Gah! Okay, calm down!"
"Calm down? Calm down?! The first time Godzilla and I met you. You threw Poop at us!" Mothra roared.
"Sorry! Remember I am a Titan and an ape, it is sometimes in our nature!" Kong said before Mothra was getting close to the ground. "Speaking of him, where is your boyfriend anyway?"
"No idea, like I said, you're the first Kaiju I saw on this island."
"Shame, I wanted to see if he was tiny too so I could laugh at him and fight him again, this time winning," Kong said with a prideful smile before Mothra dropped him where he landed face first on the ground. "Ow…"
"So why were you in quicksand?" Mothra asked as she perched on a tree.
Kong sat upright and looked at Mothra as he spoke, "I was running from some Skullcrawlers, I tried fighting them but I caught the attention of the Skulldevil. That big bitch has been really angry lately."
Mothra sighed as she stroked her fluffy fuzz she replied, "I think one of her babies was killed. She's been hunting around this area for whatever did it."
Kong scoffed and announced with an angry look, "Good, those things need to die!"
Mothra then began to flap her wings. After she began to hover off the branch, she said to Kong, "I'm going to continue looking around the island. Don't go falling into quicksand again, okay?"
Kong gave a two-finger salute as Mothra flew off into the distance. "Hmmm… If Godzilla could be here, that means… I can make an Ax from his Dorsal Plates!" Kong announced to himself. Soon after he began hearing a very angry-sounding buzzing. Looking up to see Mothra, fury in her eyes and her stinger at the ready. "It was a joke! IT WAS A JOKE!" Kong yelled as Mothra chased after him.
