Reviews
Feldragon: Fair enough. And that's a fair assumption but I assure you, he is not overheating in this story.
Proud Parent: Hail to the King indeed.
DJ Rodriguez: Thank you.
Yes, Darth Vader may be indeed mildly impressed with Winter's brass.
And you're right, there is some irony of Azula controlling Snow Godzilla.
I really enjoyed writing the conversation between Ezra and Optimus before going to the conversation of Mothra with Gojira. By the way did you read the detail of Mothra wearing a ring?
And by the way, that was not Starscream, that was Shockwave. SHOCK WAVE.
Now, on with the story.
Chapter 18: Clash of Titans
Universe 1954
Sanctum Sanctorum
Mothra opened her sapphire eyes, and she smiles knowing that her King is still alive in another universe and had some help by two people. Or more accurately, he had help from a human and robot. Even here, in a different universe, she felt his new goal to protect life and bring balance and she will thank both Ezra Bridger and Optimus Prime on helping her King and future husband when they meet.
She looked and saw Doctor Stephen Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme that was assisting her on finding Godzilla with combining their magic, as she knew deep down, he was still alive and wants to find him. "Thank you for helping me, Doctor Strange." Mothra said in a grateful tone.
"You are most welcome Mothra," Strange bowed his head to her. "But what will you do now?" he questioned the Queen of the Monsters.
"Head back to Monster Island and get those lazy bums back into shape as this upcoming threat could be a problem for us. Both Athena and Junior can't do it alone." Mothra answered the Sorcerer Supreme.
Strange nodded his head at this and open a portal to Monster Island for her as she walked through it as it closed.
Doctor Strange stood silent before he looked at the dark corner of the room. "And your thoughts, Bruce?" Strange asks the dark corner.
A man came out in a bat theme suit with a frown on his face. This was Bruce Wayne better known as Batman and he was one of the few that disagreed on using the Black Hole Gun on Godzilla as it will bring unbalance to their world, which it did as in the past five months some Kaiju were getting out of line and both of the King's older children have been doing their best to keep them in line.
"We must inform the others." Batman told Doctor Strange. "We all have to get ready."
The Sorcerer Supreme nodded sternly. "Agreed."
Back in Universe 1995
Gojira looked at the four monsters and was ready to beat the crap out of them. "I am so going to enjoy this. You all believe that your Empire can tame nature herself, to control it, but here's the kicker, she can't be control and she can't be tame. And she has the ability to strike back so here I am." Godzilla said.
"I've said it before when we first talk reptile your arrogance will be your undoing." Vader said through the speakers of the Cyborg Zillo Beast.
"And like I said before you know a lot about arrogance, don't you Anakin Skywalker?" Gojira told the Sith Lord.
"What do you mean by THAT?" Vader snapped back.
Gojira smirks at this. "Simple really when you were a Jedi you were full of arrogance always trying to prove that you were the best but your master Obi-Wan held you back as he tried to beat that arrogance out of you," he said, eyes narrowing mockingly. "But it didn't work as you were known to throw tantrums like a child for not getting your way and when you became a Sith Lord you thought you had the power to destroy your former master Obi-Wan, but you were blinded by your own arrogance which led you to be in your current state that you are in right now." He explained to the Sith Lord.
"SILENCE YOU BEAST!" Vader yelled back.
Azula was in shock as she never saw her master this mad before and for someone to get under Vader skin but how did this creature know everything about her master but that's when it hit her the creature must have read their minds before they put up their mental blocks or he was reading their minds even with the mental blocks but how was that possible to have a power to go through the mental blocks to the mind of strong Force Users with ease? Who has that type of power?
Back at Earth 1954, a handful of strong psychics suddenly sneezed out of the blue.
Now back here in Remnant-Universe 1995. "I will not be lecture by a simple-minded creature like yourself and I will show you who is the true monster is and show you the true power of the Dark Side." Vader told Gojira firmly and angrily.
Rolling his eyes, Gojira scoffed at this. "You believe that your Galactic Empire and the Dark side of the Force is an unstoppable force, and no one can stop you but when someone gets in your way you stop and try to push through them? But they won't budge, so let me tell you what that is as you see, to quote a certain madman, this is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" he declared. "Your Galactic Empire is the unstoppable force and I'm the immovable object." Gojira added as he gotten in his fighting stance. "But enough of that as it is time to lay the smack down on your candy ass."

Gojira charges the four with great speed as he speared his double to the ground with great force, shocking the others as he used this to his advantage as he used his tail to hit Shin in her stomach while his right fist glowed flaming blue and punched Snow in her face.
Lasers burned at his skin, missiles and rockets exploded upon contact with his hide, his body covered with fire and smoke, obscuring him from the view of others. When the smoke clear, Gojira was completely unfazed and raised his hand to brush and flick soot and cinders off his shoulders.
He glared at the cold, unfeeling eyes of his cybernetic opponent. So, this was the Zillo Beast Queen Ghidorah and Megalon told him about. The secret weapon the Rebels were so fearful of. He was angered at the sight of it. He could smell the stench of the artificial and unnatural coming from the Zillo Beast. This thing had been grown in a lab and then had been augmented with machinery. He could sense nothing behind its robotic eyes. No life, just wires. This thing was a tool. The Empire found a way to create life and then butchered it for their own selfish ends. This abomination was a perversion of the natural world, built only to serve the will of its human masters. It could not even be called a pet. It was a gun. A walking gun, to be used at their discretion.
All the things both he and his Queen hated about Kiryu.
The Rebels were right to fear this monstrosity. It was a crime unto itself. A beast with no independence of thought. Born only to be a slave and kill those its tyrannical overlords wished to crush.
It was disgusting for Gojira to even look at. That's how wrong it was. Yes, this thing had to be destroyed, but the initial goal he had set out with no longer held sway at the forefront of the Atomic Saurian's mind. Making this world safe for him to rule was now secondary. The young Ezra had shown him that. This thing had to die because of what it represented, he saw that now. The Empire's perversion could not be allowed to escape this world and serve at its behest. He would not allow it. He would put this miserable cyborg out of its misery and see to it that the Empire would never again give life to more like it.
Nature would not be enslaved to serve them or anyone in this universe.
Gojira's senses went off as he dodges Shin Godzilla tackle, but when Shin turns around only for Gojira to quickly grabs her head and gave her an RKO. Then he saw Snow Godzilla charging but he grabs her body, spun her around where her head was between his legs, and he gave her a Tombstone Pile Diver on the icy surface. Gojira quickly got up as he saw his double coming after him, so he lowers down and picked up his double onto his shoulders and he gave his double an FU.
Meanwhile the Kaiju Girls, their fathers, the Kaiju Children and both Ezra and Optimus were watching the fight on the sidelines in awe.
"Damn!" was all Godzilla said as she was lost for words. Then she felt someone tapping her shoulder as she looked and saw it was Mothra with a smile on her face. "What is it?" she asked in confusion.
"Look." Mothra said as she pointed to the side.
Godzilla looked at where Mothra was pointing and saw both of her daughters cheering for Gojira and mock fighting in the air and trying to copy his moves as well.
"Looks like your daughters have a role model." Mothra said as she was still giggling at the scene before her.
Back with Gojira, he growled as he saw the clones, his and his female counterpart's, charging up their Atomic Breaths. The Cyber Zillo Beast opened its mouth and glowed with green energy. He charged his Red Spiral Atomic Breath before their beams all met in the middle of the space between them and started a beam struggle. Soon however, his own bloody crimson heat ray began to overpower all of theirs. He added more power before his beam pushed through theirs and hit Alpha Predator Two in the torso.
Then the Red Spiral Atomic Breath morphed into a red ball of atomic energy and then exploded.
The tundra cracked, mountains closest to the area cracked, buildings in Mantle crumbled like cards as a massive explosion erupted in front of Gojira.
The Kaiju Girls were all knocked off their feet by the shockwave released by the explosion. "Holy moly!" the two Kaiju children exclaimed before Minilla was sent tumbling away. Athena and Junior gasped and chased after their giggling sister.
When the shockwave died down, Godzilla and the others slowly opened their eyes. Before them, Gojira stood with a mushroom cloud rising high into the air tall as ten Eifel Towers.
Gojira growled before he saw the flash and flicker of Aura through the smoke and then Snow and Shin Godzilla collapsed, their Aura giving out as they hit the ground, passed out. He snorted, at least he saw the limit of Aura for Kaiju Girls. Which was probably because of being grown in a lab. But then again, their Aura drains the more they tank hits and use their Semblance, so they weren't at full power when he just unleashed his Red Spiral Atomic Breath.
He knelt down to their level and felt around the backs of their heads and necks before he found it. The mind control devices. It was always convenient that these devices were often placed in the same locations for almost every situation involving mind control, but he wasn't complaining. He held the devices in his palm before he crushed them. He glanced up to the others and gestured for these two to be moved off the battlefield.
He looked up and saw the Cyborg Zillo Beast and Alpha Predator Two, the former rising back up to its feet while the other's chest was healing from the blast. Growling, Gojira charged to his clone before jumping high into the air, back flipped before dropkicking the obsidian scaled Saurian in the chest, sending him stumbling back.
Gojira roared to the Cyborg Zillo Beast before charging, jaws open wide. His robotic opponent did the same, screeching as it did with its arms raised into attack position. The two massive monsters collided violently, Gojira's jaws closed around the cyborg's neck. The Zillo Beast pounded one fist against his eye and the other grasped at his neck. Even as he was being choked, Gojira continued to push the cyborg backwards, his teeth keeping a firm grip on his enemy. Then the third arm and fist came crashing down on his head. The first three punches were brushed off. The following four hardly made Gojira loosen his grip. After the five other punches, Gojira felt a cutting pain on his forehead like he was being cut by a chainsaw.
Which was strange given that Gigan was not armed with that in this universe, and he wasn't facing Gigan or Deadpool and Lobo or anyone else he knows that wouldn't hesitate to use a chainsaw on him.
He backed away, releasing the neck and saw a huge saw blade jutting out of the side of his robotic opponent's fist. It retracted back inside soon after. He narrowed his eyes and smirked.
Now he knew every weapon this cyborg had.
Kannan and the Clone Troopers met up with Hera and Kiri and they all managed to meet Ahsoka's contacts, Doctors Serizawa and Boll. They left the hangar the Cyborg Zillo Beast was kept and entered a small laboratory next to it. From the looks of the assembly lines and large metal appendages on the walls, this appeared to be a cybernetics lab. The assembly line wasn't their destination though. Boll and Serizawa led them to a small area which had a box containing eggs that Kannan instantly understood that they were meant for more Zillo Beasts.
"No one knows about them but the two of us," Boll explained. "We get them off Remnant and out of the Empire's reach and they will never know that they exist. That's why I asked Fulcrum for a sufficiently sized cargo ship to extract me."
"And you didn't bother to tell her why?" KannanRex held a hand to him. The Clone turned to the scientist. "What my friend here mean is that we're here to destroy the Zillo Beast you created."
"Not help you momma more of them," Wolfe said bluntly. "You should have known the risk of the Empire finding out about them."
"That's a risk we should take!" Serizawa said. "These creatures deserve a chance to be more than weapons!"
"Okay, let's think for a second," Kiri spoke up. "We're looking at the fate of an entire species here. We can't just let them die off."
"We did not risk our lives getting here to bring an extinct species back to life!" Kannan insisted. "They had their shot and things didn't work out. I'm sorry for that, but that's not our responsibility to fix it. They're extinct, it's over for them."
Hera crossed her arms with a frown. "Like the Jedi are over?"
". . . That's different," Kannan shook his head. "The Jedi were-"
"Wiped out by the Emperor in order to achieve his own personal ends," Hera finished for him. "Slaughtered like animals because they threatened his power. That sounds awfully like the Zillo Beast, doesn't it?"
". . . She's got a point," Gregor admitted.
Kannan groaned in response before sighing. "Okay, fine." he relented. "But we need to move fast!"
The group got the hover cart out to the open. Everything seemed to be going smoothly before Kannan felt something in the Force. It was familiar and angry. And close by. He wasn't sure what it was, but it was targeted at him. In an instant, he pulled out his lightsaber, activated and a blaster bolt deflected off the blade.
"Sniper!" he exclaimed. "Hera, get the scientists out of here! I'll distract him!" He pulled out his blaster pistol and fired where he believed the shot came from. Hera looked hesitant for a moment.
"Go! Now! We'll cover him!" Rex said as he, Wolfe and Gregor pulled out their pistols.
Hera reluctantly complied and led the two scientists out of the large door while Kannan blocked the laser shots from the mysterious sniper while the Clones returned fire, causing the Stormtrooper to duck through the shadows.
With careful aim, Kannan threw his saber at the catwalk above and sliced right through it. The platform broke free and the Trooper tumbled down to another level.
Kannan quickly jumped onto that same level, and in doing so, he managed to get a good look at the Stormtrooper. His armor was covered in blue painting. Very odd for a Stormtrooper. When the sniper aimed his weapon, Kannan simply used the Force to push him backwards into a railing. The impact made him drop his rifle, but the Trooper caught himself before he fell over.
Standing tall, the Stormtrooper pulled a rocket launcher from his back and aimed it at Kannan.
"Move that hand again, and I'll blow you away," he warned.
His voice sounded strange yet familiar at the same time. Kannan then noticed that the Trooper was carrying a lot more hardware than any Imperial soldier he had seen.
"It doesn't matter how many weapons you have, you're still outnumbered." Kannan warned the Trooper. "Put it down and walk away."
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" The Trooper asked frantically. "So you and the traitors can slink back into the shadows. Kill me when I least expect it. You're underhanded like that. Only way you could have survived."
"Buddy, I don't even know who you are." Kannan retorted.
"And we were never part of the Empire," Rex said defensively.
"You're both right," the Trooper said in agreement as one of his hands went to his helmet. "And I don't know who you are. Not as a person. But I know what you are and why you're here. But if we're getting technical, you four can at least remember what I look like. Should be easy for you three traitors."
The Trooper took his helmet off, revealing a face that looked exactly like Rex's. Like Wolfe's. Like Gregor's. The face of a soldier Kannan once fought beside in the Clone Wars. The face of every soldier in the Republic.
Rex's eyes widened in surprise while Caine scowled and Kannan said nothing, only tightening his stance.
Caine put his helmet back on and aimed down the sight of the rocket launcher. "You thought you were getting revenge with a handful of traitorous brothers, didn't you Jedi? Well, that's not happening." he declared. "I'm finishing what I started at the Temple!"
"The Temple?!" Kannan repeated angrily without thinking. "You were at the Temple?!"
"Good soldiers follow orders!" Caine declared, not acknowledging Kannan's outburst.
"Brother, stop!" Wolfe said, holding a hand up.
"NO! Don't call me that!" Caine shouted back. "I have orders! And they are clear as daylight! Execute the Jedi!"
The rocket launcher fired and Kannan leapt away from the catwalk. The blast annihilated the area he was just standing moments before. Kannan landed on a crane for the assembly line and swung himself to another platform. Laser bolts struck the platform as he landed and made a mad dash for cover as did Rex, Wolfe and Gregor.
"You can't run anymore, Jedi!" The Clone Trooper shouted. "And I'm not running from you! Either of you! One of us is dying today! You hear me! One of us dies, and it sure as Hell isn't going to be me!"
Gojira sneered as he slammed Alpha Predator Two's face into the mountainside. Just as he morphed into his human-hybrid form, he was hit in the chest by his duplicate's tail. The obsidian scaled Saurian roared as he swung his claws at Gojira who ducked and weaved and dodged every claw slash and then picked him up off the floor while he screamed and then body slammed him onto the rocky and icy ground.
The Cyber Zillo Beast fired at his arm, neck and face, making the King of Monsters snarl before glaring at the cyborg and then he was kicked by Alpha Predator Two. Gojira caught himself before looking up at the two of them and then charging as they charged to him from the left and right.
Gojira grabbed his clone by the throat, blocked the blow from the Cyber Zillo Beast on his right. He punched Alpha Predator Two and the Cyborg next to him before headbutting the obsidian Saurian. He then elbowed the Zillo Beast in the face, sending him flying back. He then blocked a fist from the Gojiran behind him. He back punched the other male Saurian Kaiju before blocking the punch from the Alpha Predator Two and then jabbed him in the face. He turned around and punched the Cyborg down hard enough to send his face through the ice.
Gojira grabbed Alpha Predator Two and slammed his face into the mountain before doing the action on the opposite mountain wall before slamming him back into the first mountainside. He then fired his Red Spiral Atomic Breath at him and sent him flying back.
Alpha Predator Two looked up to his twin with a glare before shooting to his feet with a vengeful roar. He threw his fist to punch Gojira, only for his fist to be blocked by the forearm of the King of Monsters. Growling, he threw a couple of more punches, but they were blocked by Gojira before the older Saurian headbutted him, causing him to stagger back.
Gojira reared his right fist back and punched the obsidian scaled Saurian Kaiju in the face. He blocked another punch thrown by Alpha Predator Two before kneeing him in the stomach and then elbowing him in the throat, which caused the obsidian Saurian Kaiju grabbed at his throat with a wheeze of pain, and then Gojira back kicked him in the chest. Alpha Predator Two was sent flying back from the kick and he landed on top of a mountain peak.
He groaned in pain as Gojira walked towards him. The Cyber Zillo Beast charged from behind him, only for his tail to swing up and knocked the cyborg off his feet and into the mountain on his right which then collapsed on him.
Gojira roared as he jumped high into the air and slammed his feet down on his clone's chest and pushed him through the mountain peak and then used him as a snowboard down the other side of the mountain. They slid down to the next valley and Alpha Predator Two slid to a stop on his back with Gojira's feet digging into his chest.
The obsidian Saurian rolled onto his side, groaning in pain as Gojira stepped off him, only to kick him in the ribs. He stumbled to his feet before he was punched in the face, followed by an uppercut to the jaw. The Saurian human suddenly grabbed him by the throat, headbutted him and then shoved his face into mountain. He jabbed him in the face and then into his diaphragm, drawing the air out of him before throwing a cross punch that knocked him off his feet.
Gojira knelt down and grabbed onto Alpha Predator Two's tail and began to lift him off the ground and proceeded to spin the obsidian Saurian Kaiju around before throwing him face first into the Cyborg Zillo Beast.
Gojira pulled out his sword and walked forward. He held the blade up and plunged it through both of his opponents. Both Kaiju and Cyborg screeched before Gojira lifted them both in the air.
"This world isn't big enough for the two of us," growled Gojira to Alpha Predator Two and then he charged up his Red Spiral Atomic Breath and blasted both Alpha Predator Two and the Cyber Zillo Beast off the blade and they went flying off the katana and flew high into the air.
Alpha Predator Two rose to his feet, growling. He realized that he only beaten his double because he was exhausted, but now he was energized, supercharged even. There was no chance of him winning this, even with the help of his cyborg ally.
.
.
.
But you know what? So be it. If this is to end in fire, then he will die in a blaze of glory, prove that he is worthy of being called Godzilla. Being called the King of Monsters. He would battle with determination, without hesitation. Until his final breath. And he would laugh in the face of Lady Death, face her with eyes open wide.
What the fuck. He was the last of his kind, not counting Gojira and his extended family. He was the truly last Godzillasaurus. And he would rather die than continue bearing that curse. It was better to join all the others in the afterlife instead living a world where they weren't living.
With one loud, final roar that would have made the Godzillasaurus race proud, Alpha Predator Two charged forward with Alpha Predator One and the two Saurian Kaiju fired off their respective Atomic Breaths, red and blue meeting each other in the middle.
Slowly, the red began to overpower the blue, the ball of energy moving closer and closer to Alpha Predator Two. The explosion was coming, and it was going to ignite in his face. Even still, the obsidian Saurian smiled.
And then there was light.
And all Alpha Predator Two thought was what new trials awaited him in the next life.
The mountains shook as another very large explosion occurred within. The Kaiju Girls looked among themselves before approaching area. They looked over the mountain peak and saw Gojira standing within a large crater.
With the burnt skeleton of a Gojiran in front of him.
They all stared in shock before Gojira knelt down and bowed his head to the skeleton. He stayed like this for a few moments before he rose to his feet. He silently walked away from the skeleton pulled out his sword to decapitate the cyborg before it could react.
"That. . ." Godzilla began as Gojira walked to them.
"Was. . ." Gamora added but trailed off.
"AWESOME!" cried Athena and Junior.
"Intimidating and arousing." Queen Ghidorah stated.
Gojira rolled his eyes before looking up to the floating city of Atlas.
