Godzilla: The Planet Eater

Both Must Fall: Humanity's Ruins

The Houtua were clearly bothered by something that was yet to happen. They might've not displayed it on their faces (if the human survivors from over twenty-thousand years ago could've seen them), but based on their silent murmurs, their woe was of something intense.

Maina and Miana, standing in front of the giant egg the Houtua worshipped, placed their hands upon it and broadcast a message to the survivors of the Mechagodzilla City disaster.

The Burning Mountain ignites ancient fury, the shrine maidens revealed. He awakens the fallen of the past to return to the present, obscuring the future. Those that have fallen to his absolute terror will rise from the depths and restore life to the True King, whom was usurped of the throne for all.

"Ancient fury?"

"The fallen of the past?"

"The True King?"

Many of the survivors were confused by this message. It made no sense to them unless it was explained more thoroughly.

Yuko Tani, still weakened from the nanometal that nearly killed her, believed she understood some of what the shrine maidens had informed them.

"Ghosts?" She uttered, and all eyes were on her.

"What do you mean, ghosts?" Haruo asked her.

"Ghosts are often described as the fallen of the past," she explained. "People or animals that have died in the past, either through natural causes or murder and destruction. What if the Houtua are saying that Godzilla…awoke them and rekindled their anger over it killing them?"

"Except ghosts don't exist," said Adam Bindewald to them. "Ghosts are just make-believe."

"Science has explained that ghosts can be attributed to being another form of electrical energy," Martin Lazzari reminded them. "What if it was displaced over the centuries and took a long time to gather or reassert itself, which would allow it to…potentially manifest?"

"Like suspended animation or hibernation," said one of the survivors in the background.

"Yes, like that."

Standing by the edge of the water of what used to be the Tokyo Bay, Brother Correction looked at the ocean and imagined the depths in his mind as he saw something that was quite a surprise to his conscious.

"To think that a creature like this actually existed," he uttered to himself, actually considering himself very foolish to believe that the creature responsible for causing so much pain and suffering on this Earth in this universe was Godzilla, but upon a deeper gaze into the ocean, he detected the remnants of familiar radioactive energy that he recognized more than the version he saw destroying Mechagodzilla City. "This isn't just a major case of mistaken identity. It's a case of stolen identity and authority. The survivors need to be made aware of this issue and aid in its correction if they ever wish to reclaim their place on Earth. It looks like I'm going to be here for an extended period. Well, no time like the present to get to work on making the impossible possible again. Today, we begin our journey that will decide whether we live or die in the future of our world."

As she slept peacefully for the first time since the Mechagodzilla City incident, Yuko had a dream of something unlike her previous ones years ago.

"Where am I?" She questioned, finding herself standing in the air over a city by the bay, watching two monsters fight against one another. "Godzilla?"

One of the monsters resembled Godzilla, but its appearance and behavior were different from what she had seen before. Not only was it larger than fifty meters, but its texture looked more like that of a living creature made of flesh than a creature made out of plant or stone…and there was something else about it that made it stand out among what she had seen before. This Godzilla seemed…almost majestic in its appearance, like it was of some sort of royal lineage or something, something the other two Godzillas she had seen weren't. The other creature looked like some sort of giant creature with mandibles and scythes for arms and legs, counting at least eight of them, with one pair smaller than the other three pairs, probably small arms.

"It looks like Godzilla, but it looks more alive," she evaluated, also taking into account the way it moved as opposed to the other Godzilla, "and it moves more freely than the other one, regardless of its size and mass."

"What you're seeing, Ms. Tani," she turned to her left and saw a dark man floating in the air beside her, "is a fight that happened in the past, way before your time ever came to be, and these two represented the opposing sides of nature. One side sought to restore the balance that was disrupted while the other sought to destroy it further. The creature you see that looks similar to the monster that is out to destroy you…is still among the living, but is buried in myth, deep beneath the oceans. Go to where Tokyo once stood proudly. Journey deep beneath the waves. Reclaim the past that will enable the planet's greatest guardian to reclaim the throne that was stolen from him by an invasive pretender! Do this, Ms. Tani! Wake up! Wake up!"

Then, the Godzilla-like creature appeared behind her, appearing to be on fire as it unleashed its energy beam at her.

"Aaaahh!" She screamed.

"Wake up!" The dark man yelled, and darkness enveloped her.

GASP! Yuko awoke in the Houtua caves with Haruo beside her, stirring as he awoke.

"Go to where Tokyo once stood proudly!" The man's voice echoed in her mind, instructing her.

"Yuko?" Haruo went.

"We have to go to where Tokyo once stood," she told him.

"What? Tokyo? Why?"

"I don't think Godzilla is exactly what it seems."

Godzilla opened its eyes for a brief moment, surveying its surrounding that were the metallic environment it reduced to a molten heap. Something was amiss, but it couldn't ascertain what. For now, it would wait until something new happened, something to stir it to maintain its dominion over the Earth. Then, before it could shut its eyes again, it took notice of a human watching it from afar, with a look of scorn on its face.

"It doesn't matter if you can't understand me," it heard the human say to it, "you can understand this: You're going to fall. You're one of two beings that must fall…for those that have fallen…to reclaim most, if not all, of what you stole from them…and you will fall. It's inevitable for you to try and escape your fate…usurper."

Godzilla was not intimidated by this threat; Earth was its to rule, and there was no taking it back by anyone or anything. Then it returned to its slumber as it continued to recover from earlier.

To be continued…

A/N: Okay, something is up. Can you guess what it is?
