Sorry everyone, things have been heptic and while I had posted this chapter ages ago I forgot to post it here. Once again my apologies
"Containment system bypassed. We're patched in," Maddie's felt fear gripping her heart, watch Jonah slowly turned to her mother, "Ready to broadcast the ORCA,"
Her mother was slowly working, not even caring about what her father had said. "This won't bring him back to us," rang in her head. "Doctor," Jonah called and Maddie takes a wheezing breath as her mother stood up, walking over to the ORCA.
Swallowing, her throat dry she shakes her head, "Mom don't!" she flinches a bit as both her mother turned to her. But she walked over, looking at her, pleading at her with her yellow eyes.
"I'm sorry, did a child tell you what to do?"
Maddie ignored him, "Maybe dad is right. Maybe this isn't the way,"
Jonah shakes his head, glaring at her, "By all means, Dr. Russel, let's reconsider our entire plan. Especially after telling your friends about it,"
Her mother frowns at Jonah and turns to her, her blue eyes cold like ice, "Madison, we talked about this,"
"No," Maddie snaps back, her heart beating in her chest, "You said you were going to help people, that you would let them find shelter,"
She jumps back as Jonah slams a hand into the table, "We don't have time for this," he snarls, making Maddie's shoulders tense, "Do you really think this was gonna be easy? Painless? Is that what your mother told you?" Maddie's eyes flicker to her mother who was still looking at her in annoyance, like she couldn't believe Maddie was doing this, "Madison, tell me what exactly did mommy sell you on?" he mocks, "Some grand utopia? Man and monster, living together in blissful harmony?"
Maddie trembles, closing her eyes but an alarm beeps, "Sir," Wintson calls out, making the three turn to him, "they're attempting to lock us out. ITs now or never,"
"Very well," her mother said, and gives Maddie a look, "Madison, sacrifices have to be made. We want to save the planet, but everything is going to die if we don't see things through,"
But Madison shakes her head, pointing to the screen of people running down the streets of Isla De Mara, "Please, just let them get to safety,"
Her mother sighs, "go to your room Madison," Maddie's eyes widen, "Now! It's clear that you can't see the bigger picture, that all of this…is bigger than you and me," and just as that, the pulses began, Maddie closing her eyes in horror, before she turns, walking out of the room and slamming the door shut behind her. Her leg throbbed in pain, the leg that contained a bone of a Gojira, the one whose skeletal remains were found in the Philippines. Her father had never learned of this, never learned that the one day she had broken her leg, her mother had replaced the bone in it. She bends down to rub it, tears streaming down her face when she feels another pulse, another pull, and she opens her eyes to the mecha suit that her mother had made.
It bore a resemblance to Godzilla, sporting a series of short metal plates resembling Godzilla's dorsal plates that ran from the back of its neck all the way down to the tip of its tail. Its forelimbs were considerably bulkier and slightly longer than the real Godzilla's with four zygodactyl claws on its hands. It was human size, though she knew her mother wanted it to be bigger, more Titan size. But for now they didn't have any way for a human to control a titan-size mecha and such they made it human size, to fit like a suit.
She stares at the lifeless optics, remembering the one time her mother had tried to use the suit. How it burned into her spine, taking many hours for them to remove her. It was determined that the suit uses too much power, that it even begins to drain the lifeforce of its own user. It has been put into storage until they find something to power it without causing harm to the user.
Maddie always have felt a pull towards it, possibly due to the gojira bone that seems to have been forged in the metal. It always felt like something was calling to her, telling her put it on, but, she shakes her head, walking past the mecha suit.
Never noticing that one of its optics flashed yellow for a bit before dying down.
Alarms blare heavily in the air, making his throat tighten. He looks at the volcano, hidden in the alley as many people ran down the street, pulling at the collar of his brown jacket up to hide his face.
"Tell them to slow it down,"
"Tell them to stand back,"
He turns to watch a human and Angilas talking to another human who was speaking on a megaphone. "This is bad…this is really bad," he whispers, staying in the shadows of the alley. He didn't know how Angilas would react to seeing him, not after he had sided with the parasite all those years ago. He felt regret and shame build up in him, hating what he had done, hating that he let that thing get the better of him.
"If you don't help me…I'll rip that freakish runt you love so much apart…I'll make you watch as her blood drips from her throat, making you hear her cry out for you to help before they gurgle as she chokes on her own blood."
He shivers, thinking of those blue eyes in pain, remembering the hurt that shined in them due to his betrayal, "But that's why your here," he whispers, taking a step back, "You're here to make sure that parasite doesn't get Melody's brother…at least that is something you can do you coward,"
He felt more shame in him, thinking about how he did nothing when Ghidorah was free. How he stood back when the humans made the base literally on top of Ghidorah's frozen prison. That he didn't do anything when he heard the gunshots, and that false Titan call…his eyes widen as a screech sounded out, many of the humans stopping in there tracks, "Damn it Rodan," the man whispers, turning his gaze to the volcano as a pulse, the false Titan's call sounded in the air.
An explosion rang out, smoke rising as a loud angry wail was heard. To the man and Angilas it wasn't a screech. To them it was an angry man, "WHO PUT A CAP ON MY VOLCANO!" yelling as a large claw rises from the lava, soon followed by what look like a Pterandon pulling itself from their nest. Neito and Hitoshi stared with jaws drop open on the Argo, watching the Titan spread its massive wingspread wide. The Titan possessed a large heavy beak lined with tooth-like spikes and a pair of horn-like spurs curled down from the back of its skull. They had yellow eyes that looked around sleepily,
The people down on the streets below stared at him with wide eyes. They had heard and listen to tales about a sort of demon living in their volcano… but to find out that they were true, was horrifying. Especially when they gave a screech, flapping their wings wide and flicking lava into the air.
Mark stares, watching as the Titan slowly turns its gaze to the people, "You got a catchy name for this one?" he whispers to Chen, gripping a table so hard that his knuckles turned white.
"Local legends and newspapers called him, Rodan, the fire demon,"
"That's comforting," Neito whispers, grimacing as Rodan roars.
"Uh…guys?" they all turned to Hotaru who was looking at a monitor, "You remember that tropical storm where you lost Monster Zero?" she slowly turns to them, "Its changing direction and…guess where it's heading now,"
"No," Melody whispers, her head snapping to Rodan.
"That's not possible," Dr. Stanton stated, shaking his head, "No storm moves that fast,"
"Unless it's not a storm," Chen watching as Hotaru types into the computer and Monster Zero's form appears on the screen.
"We need time to finish the evacuation," Serizawa stated, frowning.
"Well then you better hurry," Hitoshi stated, "cause its closing in fast,"
"Serizawa," Mark waits for Serizawa to turn to him, "Its not a coincidence that Monster Zero thing is headed here. Its reacting to Big Bird's cries," Hotaru frowns as Melody grimaces, pain in her blue eyes, "That means its coming for food, a fight or…" they all grimace as Rodan churrs, "something more intimate,"
"I think I threw up in my mouth," Melody whispers, smiling when Hotaru snorted.
"What do you suggest,"
"All fighters, weapons free," at Foster's command the F35s fly towards the volcano where Rodan was stretching his wings. But his relaxation was disturbed as they fired their missiles at him, explosions erupting onto his chest and making him screeched.
"Oh I think we got his attention," Mark whispers, watching as Rodan screeches in anger as more missiles were thrown at him.
Foster nods her head, "Everyone, strap in," Hotaru grabs Neito and Hitoshi by the arms, throwing them into some seats. The two glare at her but she gives them a look and both sigh, buckling up. "All ships, follow our lead,"
Melody stares out the window, watching as yellow eyes meet her blue eyes, Rodan's head following the path where the Argo was heading. A croon of confusion was heard, "Melody? Hermana?" and she swallows, taking a deep breath.
"Siguenos, hermano, por favor, siguenos," she whispers, watching as Rodan roars, stepping out of his volcano and thrusting into the air with a great flap of his wings. He dives down, and to her dread over the city. Buildings burn and crumble to dust, people screamed around them, the winds so hard that people were lifted off the air. Barnes and Martinez ran forward, grabbing onto a mother and child and hiding behind the columns of what appeared to be a church. Barnes wrapped his arms around the mother, holding her fiercely against the stone as metal claws formed at the tips of his fingers. He held strong even as the woman screams, thrashing and trying to escape to reach her son who Martinez was trying to hold on. The boy was holding deeply onto the soldier's hand, screaming with fear in his eyes as other people were sent flying alongside cars and debris.
Flying above the clouds, the Argo and many other F35s flew away, being pursued by Rodan. "Argo to Gold Squadron! Let's lure this turkey from the mainland-"
"And away from Monster Zero," Mark turns over to Melody, who stares at him. Everyone turns her gaze to her in shock "Monster Zero has a siren like call that can control other Titans. As long as Godzilla stays strong he can't control the others, but Rodan fell in his control many years ago. It will be very easy for him to slip into Rodan's mind and take control,"
"Melody," Graham whispers, "How do you know…"
"There are many things I didn't tell you," she stated, looking at them sadly, "One of them is that Titans can have a human form which helped up in Ancient Times to communicate with humans, to even have families with them. While some go into hibernation," she nods at Rodan, "Some just went into their humans forms, either because they didn't want to sleep, or they literally couldn't. I am one of those who can't," she pulls up the sleeve of her shirt, showing black scales painting her arm, horns very much like Rodan growing from her head, "Like Rodan, I am a Titanus Vulca..but unlike him I have a mutation that makes my armor obsidian unlike Rodan's which is harden magma...makes it that anytime I tried to hibernate in a volcano it erupts in a few years,"
"You're a Titan?" Mark sputters, "Titans can become humans? Then why did Godzilla,"
"We stop trying to take human forms after the War," Melody glares, "I hate to agree with Emma, but humans are cruel and they don't like what they understand. When we started waking up in the 1900s all you were focus on having to find a way to destroy us, that's all you cared about," Serizawa sighs at this, closing his eyes, "Why would we try to make a treaty with you when all you wanted was our deaths? It was at least better allowing you to think we were just big monsters, if you knew we could take human form, you would start attacking anyone who looked different,"
"Well we better hurry," Stanton shouts, "Monster Zero is coming in ETA two minutes!"
Silence filled them before Foster nods her head "Gold Squadron, engage on our six," the F35s flipped over the Argo, flying towards Rodan, missiles launching at him. Rodan screeches, flying upwards, his wings hitting a few of them, making them explode on contact. Diving to the left, he ran into two more. Melody grimaces as he grabs some into his talons, biting it with his beak, "He thinks they're food,"
"Why does he think that?!" Hitoshi whispers, staring with wide eyes.
"Rodan and I were born in the 1900s, like Godzilla and Mothra were," Melody explains, "Unlike me, Rodan didn't shift in his human form very much...so he doesn't understand," she groans when Rodan swallows someone when they ejected from the plane, "Damn it brother! We're trying to help you!"
"He's your brother?!" Neito stares with wide eyes, "And I thought my family was weird," he whispers, making an uncomfortable look on his face when Hotaru and Hitoshi looked at him. "What are you two looking at?" he grumbles, crossing his arms.
"We lost the squadron!" Stanton calls out, after Rodan did a twirl in midair, his wings slamming into the F35s. "Monster Zero is 30 seconds away from us!" Just as he said that a storm blew into their view, thunder roar in their ears as lightning flashes in their eyes. They all gasped in horror, Melody's eyes widen in fear as Monster Zero appeared before them, red eyes glaring at them with hatred.
Foster orders them to dive, and as the Argo surged downwards, them grabbing to anything to keep steady, Monster Zero slams into Rodan. Melody screams, tears streaming down her face as she watches her brother tears and bite into Monster Zero, trying his hardest to fight back, "Jesus, they're killing each other," Stanton said as the Argo regains it balance, having almost hit the waters of the ocean. She takes a deep breath swallowing but jumps when Barnes' voice calls from the radio.
"Mayday, mayday! This is Raptor One to Argo. Argo, do you read?"
"Copy, Raptor One. What's your status?"
"We're screwed. That's what. And we got kids on board! We're gonna need immediate mid-air retrieval!"
Foster nods her head at this, "Lock on to their position, and prepare the hangar for an emergency landing,"
Stanton grimaces at this, "Hanga doors are unresponsive."
"Manual override?"
Stanton growls, "They're stuck!"
Mark growls, unbuckling himself, "Which way to the hangars?"
"I'll show you," Melody said slipping off her jacket, everyone turns their gaze to her, "Once Mark opens the hangar, I'm going out there...I need to," she grimaces, kneeling the ground and holding her stomach in pain.
"Melody," Serizawa walks over to her, gently shaking his head, "You can't...you are too injured," he turns to Sam, "Take Mark to the hangars,"
"Can anyone else take me?"
"I'll come too," Hotaru said, standing up from her chair, "I might be able to help, I got into U.A Support Course...I might be able to fix whatever is causing what is getting the hangar stuck. She then turns to Hitoshi and Neito, "You two stay," she orders before she turns around, running after Mark and Sam.
"What? What do you mean stay?! Do we look like dogs to you!?" Neito shouted in offense.
"Hope you got a bit wrench," Stanton mutters.
Hotaru shakes her head, heart pounding. It felt like forever, running past people, the walls sparking from expose wires. But the three made it, the doors of the hangar jerking in place, refusing to open. "What's the problem?!"
"Hydraulics systems are jammed!" the solider shouted, "I'm trying to jump-start power...but its not looking good,"
Mark curses under his breath, but then blinks as Hotaru runs forward, opening the door and climbing down the stairs. "What is she doing?!" They watched as Hotaru walked onto the hangars, holding out her arms to keep herself steady.
"Alright," Hotaru takes a deep breath, "Haven't done this in a while...but there's no time like the present," closing her eyes, she pulls from deep within herself. A burst of flames, gold as the sun, engulfed her body. Bending and breaking with no pain to change it, into something bigger, something animal like. They all watched with wide as two shoes flew off as mutilated toeless claws stepped out of the flames.
"Holy shit," Hitoshi mumble out as Neito's jaw dropped. Stepping out of the flames was a dragon, shaped like a wyvern with sun-like scales shimmering in the light. A mane of brown of brown fur grew on there neck, where horns should be were stumps, sawed off. And two red eyes open, burning with determination. But then the hangars doors creaked as they broke open from baring too much weight. The dragon falls with a screech but spreads her arms out wide on instinct. With the heavy gusts of wind and lift, she was launched upward, just barley missing Raptor one by the skin of her tail.
"Okay...okay I got this," Hotaru mutters, before she turns her gaze towards the storm where Monster Zero and Rodan were fighting, "I hate fighting," she whispers, but she thought of Izuku, her sister of all but blood and she roars, flying towards the one who took her. Having not flown in a long, long time, her flight was wobbly, with Hotaru constantly needing to beat her wings harder and faster to get back to the altitude the Titans were at. She still carried on, but unfortunately doing so wore her out more, making her muscles burn with each flap of her wings. She roars out, as she tackles into the right head, biting into his neck, "YOU WILL PAY FOR TAKING MY SISTER YOU FUCKING BITCH!"
Melody chokes, staring with wide eyes as she watches the young Goliger biting so hard into the flesh of Monster Zero that blood dripped down, staining his golden scales with the black ooze. The middle head lunged, but Rodan screeches, snapping his beak at the horns, pulling the head away. Yellow eyes catch red eyes and Hotaru knew what he was trying to tell her. To get out, let him handle it. But anger and rage boil underneath her scales. And she pulls at that burn, her orange scales lit up with a beautiful golden light, before it exploded from her, making Monster Zero screech in pain.
"Did she just blow up?!" Stanton said with wide eyes, all of them watching the fight between Monster Zero with Rodan and Hotaru. Hitoshi whimper at this, Neito grabbing his hand and squeezing it but both were filled with relief when Hotaru flew out of the smoke cloud.
"Its a Goliger's ability," everyone's head turns to see Angilas coming in, followed by Mark and Sam, "Like how a Muto's has an EMP step, or G's fire breath. Goligers have a... sort of ooze coating their body, and they can raise their body temperature to ignite it,"
"Well that explains why she was always running hot," Neito whispers to Hitoshi, but they look at Stanton who pointed at Angilas.
"Wait...Melody said that you and her go way back," he shouted, "Does that mean," he yelps as curved horns sprout from his head while prickly but long and sharp spikes pierce through the back of his uniform. Mark grabs Sam by the shoulders to pull him out of the way of the swinging spiked clubbed tail. "Holy shit...we were working with two Titans,"
"Yep," Angilas smiles, before he bows, "Titanus Anguirus, formerly the second hand of King Godzilla before I retired and pass the title to bird brain over there,"
Melody roll her eyes, keeping her eyes on the screen, "You only gave it up because you were almost fatally injured in the last battle with the parasite that if it wasn't for Baragon then you wouldn't have pulled through!" Angilas rolls his eyes but then they all turn their attention towards the screen when Rodan screeches. The Volca had been hit point blank with lightning in the chest and was now falling into the ocean, "Shit...no...no no," she whispers, claws gripping the back of a seat, tearing into it as Monster Zero slowly turns towards the young Goliger. She twirls on her heel, before she screams as Angilas grabs her, "Let go of me! I have to save-" she cries out in anguish as Monster Zero's lightning beams struck Hotaru, right in the chest and neck. The young dragon screams in pain, before she too began to fall towards the water. That was...before something catches her. Melody chokes, as a large Goliger flaps his wings, thrusting himself higher in the air as he flies towards the Argo. Unlike Hotaru his horns were now saved off and were curled like a ram's horns, his talons, gripping Hotaru gently and firmly. They watched with batted breath as his body began to glow with flames that spread towards Hotaru, making them become smaller and smaller, enough to slip inside. Melody pulls away from Angilas, and runs out of the command center.
They were all silent, before a beeping was heard. Stanton frowns, "Its Admiral Stenz,"
With a few clips, the Admiral appeared on screen, "Admiral," Serizawa nodded his head towards the man. He frowns at the man, who he worked with the 2314 Muto Attack, seeing the apologetic look in his eyes.
"Dr Serizawa," he nods his head in return, "Colonel Foster. I need you and your forces to immediately disengaged and withdraw to a safe distance,"
Foster frowns, slowly walking over to the screen, "Admiral...I don't understand,"
"We have been developing a prototype of a new weapon," and at this Stenz grimaces, "An oxygen destoyer,
Serizawa coughs, eyes wide, "What...how….how did you get...there is no possible way! My ancestor, Daisuke Serizawa destroyed any and all notes of it before he detonated the only one that was ever made to kill Goro!"
Stenz sighs, "Your son, Ren was...kind enough to use his Quirk, Memory Touch, to find little bits of the old blueprints..and we were able to make our own. Like the original, it is designed to exterminate all life forms within a two-mile radius,. With any luck, it will kill these things and this nightmare will finally be over,"
"Are you crazy?" Angilas growls, making Stenz turn to him, "Do you know the consequences if you detonate it? Even if it works, you could be creating something much worse!" he shivers, swallowing dryly as he remember the horror that was spawn from the first Oxygen Destroyer, "You will spawn something that you won't be able to stop,"
"Admiral," Serizawa pleaded, gesturing to Angilas, "What he says is true. We must keep our faith in Gojira,"
"I'm sorry, Doctor. You had your chance. The missile is already on its way," once more Stenz looked at him apologetically, "May God have mercy on us all,"
With that, the screen turns back into a map. Foster frowning, "He's not lying. Its coming in hot,"
The people of Isla De Mara scream at the golden flames, keeping close to the walls as Barnes and Griffin stare. They all watch as they grew smaller, before slowly burning out to reveal a man wearing a brown trench coat appeared, holding tightly to Hotaru, "I need some help here!" he cries out, gently placing the girl down.
The man stares at the child, his kitten...his Little Fang, staring at the burn marks on her neck that clearly went down her chest. His heart ache at seeing this, mixed with the stumps where horns should be...her toes where talons should be, "Oh Little Fang," he whispers, brushing a strand of her orange hair out of her face, "If I had knew about you...I would had looked for you,"
"Dragon Heart," he looks up, his own orange hair falling into his face, staring with wide red eyes at Melody. He chokes, swallowing as he opens and closes his mouth, trying to speak. But their heads snapped over to a screech, seeing Monster Zero flying towards them. "Helios!" Melody cries out, running towards them, not caring for the blood staining her bandages as she wraps her arms around the two Goligers, growling at parasite that flew closer to them.
But she didn't have to do anything, as Godzilla breeches the water, jaws wrapping around the left head's neck and pulling him into the waters. His hand grabs at the right head, pushing him into the ocean, Monster Zero roaring out, and struggling, trying to escaped.
Godzilla kept dragging Ghidorah deeper and deeper into his domain, his fangs biting into Kevin's neck before he rips it off. Spitting it out, allowing it to sink to the bottom of the floor, he grabs Ichi's neck, "Where...is she? What have you done to my pup, you parasite!?"
But before the Dorat could answer, a green light filled his vision, and pain was all he felt. He struggles, feeling his grip on Ghidorah loosen and he thrashes, roaring out. He can't breathe, he can't breathe! It was like the air was forcibly taken from his lungs, rip from them. He slowly felt himself beginning to sink, feeling like his insides were melting...his heart slowing down...he had to get home...he had to flee, even if it put a bitter taste to his mouth.
But before he could do so, talons gripped at him, pulling him upwards. Too weak to fight, he feel himself being pulled out of the ocean, feeling the wind brushing against his scales before he was dropped onto something hot. Weakly opening his eyes, he sees that he was laying on Rodan's volcano. Groaning in pain, he tries to push himself up but snarks as a foot slams onto his head, keeping him pinned down.
"Oh, my Broken King...my sweet little Goji~" Godzilla growls up at Ghidorah, "Look at what those humans did to you...those worms made you so weak," Ni grins in relish, Ichi being silent as he watches Kevin regrow his head, helping him by ripping the slime off that cocoon his head.
Godzilla pants, black slowly filling his vison. In the corner of his eyes he sees Rodan landing, bowing down lowly. He grimaces, seeing the pink eyes that once were yellow. "Oh don't be like that my beloved. We will take charge while you heal...while you take care of the hatchling," Ichi grins, before he spreads his wings out wide, screeching loudly for all to hear, for the Titans to awaken, and here his call.
For the reign of Ghidorah, has begun.
