Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! I thank you all for your wonderful reviews, your kind and honest words really touch me in a good way. I'm very glad and humbled that all of you like my story so far.
Before anything else occurs, want to give God and Jesus Christ praise and thanks for helping me out with my story! He is the one that drives me, helps me to really stay convicted and strong to complete my novel, and also has given me the great gift of imagination to even make this trilogy a reality! So praise and glory to the Lord for all of this!
I am pretty sure that many of you thought Miki got off light with the Disney ladies when they forgave her. I want to explain; first, the Disney company had other dire things to consider at the moment, mainly the situation with Burning Godzilla. In addition, Miki has truly not done anything wrong to the monsters except when it was by strict orders from her superiors. Though blessed with psychic abilities, there is only so much she can do. And she does have a moral and honorable code, which I admire and respect vastly. So while she may have gotten off light, Miki understands that she is still on a bit of thin ice with the ladies and will do what she can to make sure that the trust and forgiveness she has received is not taken for granted in any way.
Also, I really like the little role-playing reviews that those such as lord destryuk put up! I actually encourage to see stuff like that since it shows that you, the reviewers, really get into the action. Just don't go overboard or lose sight on why you doing it, as I do like to see some comments and such about the chapter you are posting on.
And one final thing before I officially start this chapter. I know this seems to be going off from the original Godzilla vs. Destroyah movie, the scenes seemingly to get mixed up and such. But I promise you, I am doing my best to make sure the novel doesn't veer too off course from the movie. But at the same time it is different enough so that it doesn't look like a complete rip-off. Doing my best to make sure everything is balanced here; the characters, the scenes, the monsters, even the emotion and reactions. So keep on sending me any suggestions and ideas, but also have a little faith in what I am doing. That is all I ask.
I do not own Godzilla or any of the monsters and characters that officially belong to Toho, nor any of the Disney characters and places that belong to said company. I do own my OC creations, and also most of the songs that have been shown so far. If I use a song that is by an artist/artists, I will give him/her/them their just dues and credit as it is their right.
Now, on with the novel!)
Chapter 18
It was not a good day at the moment for the beings in the Disney universe as those in the various kingdoms that had witness Saburo Hisoka's actions against Godzilla and the military. Many were outraged that the man had almost killed their hero, and also put the entire population of Earth in danger because of his revenge. And some were very upset that he had disobeyed and lied to his commanders, which was a serious offense in the eyes of those that were part of the military. Former Captain of the Guard in Agrabah, Razoul was angry at the Japanese man's actions. Even though he had retired about two years after the incident with Hans and Maleficent, living comfortably in the palace due to his loyal and dedicated years as the commander of the palace security, the proud old man was livid at the moment.
He exclaimed, "That dishonorable son of a jackal! Lying and disobeying his leader's orders?! If he were under my command, he would be lucky to be let out with his body intact!". Though officially retired, many of the soldiers and citizens still respected the man. His work ethics, honor and dedication to the royal family of Agrabah inspired those to do their best, and take both protecting the royal members and listening to their new commander seriously.
He was not the only military man that was upset at the whole affair.
Back in Sennen, two certain generals were very disappointed and cross with not only Saburo, but with General Isao Jun of G-Force. They were Raven Rissing, the commander for the armies of Arendelle, and Jackson Dashboard the commander of the Marcel-Oxen forces. Raven stated, "Those utter fools… both Saburo and Isao! One who shows impatience and an ineptitude in seeing signs of danger with his own soldiers, and one who put the entire population at risk due to revenge! Even if Godzilla did do something to him in the past, it shouldn't be enough to put many innocent lives in danger.".
Gen. Jackson Dashboard replied, "I agree with you on that, Raven. I do believe in hearing a side to every story when it comes to any kind of fraction or anything similar to it with my troops, but no amount of excuse or explanation is enough to disobey a direct order and put others at risk.". Both commanders of their respective military units believed in strict discipline, honor and loyalty. Both to their countries, their troops, and also to the principles that kept their honor and duty together in many ways. In their view, what Hisoka did was more than enough reason to court martial him, and more likely execute a dishonorable discharge.
Even Fa Meihui, still there as she wanted to see more of what was occurring at the moment, was displeased by the man's actions. She had sent letters back home to her intended, and the current Emperor of China, detailing on why she was staying longer than planned in Europe. Both had agreed to let her stay, only on the condition that she send back reports on what was occurring in the other universe. Both men had become fascinated with anything that was beyond their scope of their own realm, so the descendent of the heroine Mulan had kept on writing letters to her husband Dingxiang and the current leader of her nation.
Mushu let out a snout of red flames and said to his companion/retainer, "I gotta say, that Saburo dude just got himself one cold little lady mad at him. I bet that back in the day, Shang and Mulan would have put him in the ringer three times before discharging that fool on his butt.". Meihui could not help but agree with her dragon guardian, and also wondering what was going on through the minds of Elsa and the other Disney ladies.
King Oliver Oxen called out, "Everyone, look! More is showing. Maybe we can find some answers as to why Saburo disobeyed his orders.". All turned to the screens to watch the drama unfold before them.
King Kristoff commented, "I do feel sorry for those people though. Now that they made Elsa really made, her true icy fury is going to be unleashed and I really hope she can control it and herself.". Indeed, himself and the kingdom of Arendelle knew quite well of Elsa's fury and the consequences that followed it. Though she did have better self-control of herself and her icy gift, when she was angry... one would be lucky to come out with only mild frostbite. The citizens, royal beings and magical beings looked on through the Magic Mirror or the large viewing screens to see on what would happen next.
~In the Toho universe~
Capt. Chris Anderson and the crew of the latest flying jet-plane Super X-III were seeing an enraged Ice Queen before them, Elsa using her gift to freeze the craft solid as well as a large chunk of the ocean around her. Fishes and other marine & aquatic life sensed a massive spike of energy in nature, and this made a quick getaway as possible from the area. Or else they would be frozen completely over in the water. Even though the salty contents of the ocean kept the waters from freezing completely, Elsa's power was sufficient enough to so that the new icy land mass would support a great deal of weight. And spread out within a 30-mile radius, so indeed Elsa had some serious power!
Said user of ice kept up her power, Super X-III's systems shutting down as the controls and various other electrical parts were freezing over. Capt. Anderson called out, "Katashi, what's going on?! My control stick is not responding!". Kazuo-san checked what was still on in the cockpit, and reported that all of the computer and navigation systems were shutting down due to extreme drop in temperature.
Before Chris could give any further orders, the window in front of them shattered like the most fragile of glass! And this was impressive as the glass was reinforced, tempered and run through many tests so that it would stand up to Godzilla's breath. It seems the engineers did not count on cold… or a woman with a large protective streak that could generate said cold. Chris and his comrades were now looking into the eyes of a very ticked off Queen Elsa, the white-haired archangel of ice looking at the captain dead in the eyes.
She inquired with a tone that was a unique mixture of cold fury & hot passion. She asked, "Before I freeze you all solid into living statues, I got one question… why? Why did you attack Godzilla when he was still active?! And why did you fire something at him that would explode instead of freeze?!". As soon as those words left her lips, the inside of the craft was iced over quickly and the craft was buckling badly in the air!
Marsaru Michi, the weapon's expert yelled out, "Ma'am, please stop! If you continue to use that power of yours, the engines will stop and we'll drop down fast!". He and his teammate had just strapped and secured Saburo into his seat, using ropes and buckles to tie him down good in his chair. His arms and feet were tied together, secured so that he could reach, touch or move anything.
Elsa looked to the Japanese man, then to the leader as she was still ticked off and wanting an explanation. Chris felt his lower body going numb fast, his upper body also cold but not in the dreaded sensation that his lower half was feeling. He pleased, "Miss… Your Highness… we can explain everything back at headquarters. Please… this was not all of our doing.". The Ice Queen glared at the young pilot, then to the others and noticing that one of them was tied down. She closed her eyes and concentrated, reining in the fury of her ice gifts but still angry that it showed very much. She regained control of her self-control and discipline, the storm that had come now gone but the cold remained.
The furious user of ice stated, "I will take you back to Japan with me. But make no mistake about this… when we get back, you and everyone under your command will explain everything. And I mean EVERYTHING!". While they wanted to argue about that, they kept their mouths shut. After all, they were already in deep on her bad side as it was already, so giving lip would only make the situation worse.
Elsa dived down under the craft, using her ice and wind ability to keep the heavy machine afloat. Now normally, it would be a great strain on her to even attempt lifting an object of that size and mass. But she was running on her rage at the moment, so generating the necessary wind to keep the metal machine in the air was rather easy. She looked down at the spot where Burning Godzilla sank into the ocean, her rage abating just slightly as she felt her bonded diving deeper into the ocean. She whispered, "I'm so sorry Godzilla… hopefully when this is all over with, I can explain myself to you better. For now, just rest and be healed by the cool waters and ice.". A stray tear left each of her eyes, but she blinked it away as she heard the engines of the machine conk out and the weight above her was finally felt.
The Snow Queen let her anger come back up, but this time with a focus instead of going wild. She hefted the machine with her wind ability, and took off fast for G-Force headquarters! Elsa stuck close to the bottom of the craft so that no one could see her. If one were to see the scene from another angle, he or she might have sworn that it was Superman or Supergirl from the American comic strip of DC that was carrying the Super X-III.
~At G-Force headquarters~
Everyone was still at the Command Center, wondering what was going on. Elsa's eyes had frozen out and destroyed the tracking chip that was on board the Super X-III, so they could not locate them with their computers. General Isao had kept trying to bring up communications with the flying machine, but no luck. Kenichi tried to use satellites to get any kind of pictures, but with no tracking chips to lock onto, he was essentially like a blind man stumbling around. However, the Disney ladies had a different method. They looked to Cateline for help, the Fairy Godmother nodding and taking out her wand. Closing her eyes, she muttered softly and her wand tip started to glow with a gentle white light. Some of the employees, Miki, Nobuko, Joseph, Daimon and even Kenichi stopped what they were doing to see the show.
Miki whispered to Tracy, "What is Cateline doing?".
She answered, "Cateline is using her magic to try and locate Elsa. Since her ice power has a magical signature, for her it is easy to hone in on and find her. And from what we saw before the screens went blank, and the words from the captain, Elsa is indeed using her ice power.". Joseph and Daimon, who were nearby and heard the explanation, were very much impressed with the elderly being. Cateline waved her wand slightly for a moment, deep in concentration until her eyes opened with a small smile on her face.
She stated, "Elsa really has her ice powers out in full strength now, and she is heading back here towards the G-Force.". Indeed, that was good news for those who were close to the Ice Queen.
General Isao, who had heard the statement, was about to inquire about the Super X-III. To see if her power could locate his weapon. However, his request died on his lips when he heard static over the headset. He put his headset on, and turned on the speakers. He called out, "Super X-III, Super X-III! This General Isao Jun calling! What is your current situation and status, over?!". Static came on, but slowly the voice of Captain Anderson came through as he spoke into his own headset.
The reply came out, "Super X… General… frozen over… repeat… Super X… frozen over. Return… to base… with… Elsa carrying… craft… Saburo… detained… very much… pissed… Do not… hostile… to Elsa…". After those words were said, static came on all over, indicating that communications was out.
Kenichi looked to the clock and it read 10:45 a.m., doing the calculations in his head. He told to all, "Everyone, that means that Elsa and Super X-III will be arriving back here at about 1:30 p.m. or so!".
Cinderella spoke, "I believe that I will wait in at the Kaiju Library Archive and do some more reading on the monsters there. Mr. Lavestia, Mr. Sustaita. Would it be possible to make copies of the books there? I have a friend that I believe would want to read them, and also would like to fill the libraries of my universe with those books.". The other ladies asked if they could have copies as well, wanting to fill their own kingdom's libraries and archives with the information on all of the monsters.
Daimon answered, "Ummm… well, this kinda thing hasn't been done in a long while. We'll need to ask the Main Archivist that runs the place about it.". That was a suitable answer for them, and Ariel asked the duo if they could escort them to the archives. Daimon and Joseph said they would be delighted, the psychic users not wanting to miss a chance to entertain and/or help the lovely visitors in any way possible. As all of them started to leave, the General called out to them.
Isao exclaimed, "Wait! All of you need to stay right here until Super X-III and your friend come back to base, then we need to question her on why…!". The words died on his lips when the Disney girls slowly turned to face them, stoic looks on their faces. Even the pixies and mice scowled at the military man. Lady Beneditka slowly broke away from the group, making her magical battle axe appear in her right hand. This got everyone on edge as the soldiers there trained their weapons on her, some wondering if bullets would be of any use against a magical being and her weapon. The matriarch of the North Mountain trolls went directly towards Isao, soon standing five or so feet from him as she wielded her large axe with ease and grace.
She spoke, "Let me make this perfectly clear, GENERAL Isao. Your impatience almost cost Godzilla's bond with Elsa, something we take very seriously. Not only that, but you failed to recognize that one of your own men was driven by revenge. Until we determine on WHY he disobeyed you, I would advise you to tell him to not come anywhere near us… lest he wants to be a head shorter.". It was not a threat that was being spoken, it was a promise. If Saburo went anywhere remotely close to the Disney ladies with aggressive or hostile intent, his head would become a bowling ball courtesy of Lady Beneditka.
The Mountain troll continued, "And also this, SIR. I myself am both a leader and military commander of my people when the time comes for it. And to even fathom a soldier disobeying the direct commands and orders from his superior… shows that you General, are severely lacking if they disobey you in this manner.". Now that was a big blow to the elderly Japanese military man, for he prided himself on discipline and honor.
Anna called out from the group, "General, one more thing. We are restraining ourselves VERY much at the moment, and it's very difficult when you're in the same room with a person that almost killed our friend. That is why we are leaving to the archive so we don't cause too much of a scene. So if you really want to try and detain us… then you better be prepared for the consequences.". The group displayed that if they were held in any way against their will to stay in the Command Center, they would retaliate and some of the employees were wondering on what the lovely, if also lethal ladies, could do to them.
The Prime Minister, who had witnessed everything that happened along with his aides, decided that now was the time to intervene. He spoke softly but firmly, "I believe that these young ladies can go to the library. It is on G-Force grounds, so they are at least not leaving the base. Your Majesties and company, we will inform you when it is close to time for Queen Elsa and Super X-III to arrive back here. Is that suitable for all of you?".
Lady Beneditka looked to the man, and saw that he held honor and wisdom in his eyes. And had a strength of heart that came from years of battling with those in the political arena. And that she respected very much. She waved her hand, and her mighty battle axe vanished from sight. Though this relieved some of the tension, the soldiers still had their weapons trained on her. The Prime Minister looked to Isao, nodding his head in a silent order to have the soldiers remove their weapons off of their guest. Isao sighed, and lifted his left hand up. That was the signal to his men to release their lock on the female Mountain troll.
Said leader replied, "This is suitable, and acceptable sir. Thank you for your words, and for your promise.". Lady Beneditka turned and went back to her companions, which included Miki and Nobuko. The company followed Joseph and Daimon out of the room, the employees and other members of G-Force giving them wide berth for them to pass.
The Prime Minister watched them go, then turned his attention to Gen. Isao. He folded his arms and asked in the same tone as before, "General Isao, I can only hope that you explain your actions on what occurred out there. And also the situation dealing with Saburo Hisoka.". The elderly military commander sighed, knowing that today his honor was about to be delivered a huge blow.
On their way to the archives, Joseph asked Rapunzel if she wanted to postpone the examination at Section M. Daimon said, "Many members of the staff, and more others who are interested in magic, have been very eager to study your hair. And also to examine your fairy friends. But after today, I seriously doubt that you or Tink & the others want anyone from G-Force to get close to you.".
Rapunzel sighed, the queen turning her head to meet Joseph's face as they walked. She replied, "No, we will proceed. To tell you the truth, yes I am very hesitant to let anyone here try to examine or experiment on my hair. And I believe the pixies would object being poked and prodded like they were animals.". Tinkerbell and the other fairies nodded their heads, serious looks on their faces showing they would NOT be treated like animals of any kind.
The queen of Lelystad continued, "But, I did make a promise and I am not going to break it. Also, if Lady Benedikta was there to supervise everything and everyone, that would be a big relief to me.".
Vidia flew to Mr. Sustaita and stated in a threating tone, "I'm only doing this because the others want to be there for Rapunzel if any of you try something. And if your friends try to poke or touch me in a place I don't like, or if they scare me or my friends, I WILL put you through a twister that will send you hard through walls! Am I making myself clear?". Since it only came as a tinkling sound like from a bell, Rapunzel translated for Joseph and Daimon. The two dudes have to give this to Vidia; she was feisty and fiery, almost like her friend Tinkerbell. And that they really respected and gave props to the purple-clad cutie, who showed that she had the ability and power to back-up her threats.
Once they were at the library, they asked the one in charge if the Main Archivist was around. The female receptionist answered, "Of course. Tsutomo-san should be somewhere on the floor. Just remember to keep it quiet.". Joseph said that they would, and ushered the Disney ladies in as they passed the receptionist. The company navigated through the archives until they found who they were looking for in one of the aisle. An elderly Japanese man of about 60 years of age or so, wearing what looked to be a lab coat of sort, was going through some books that showed monsters that were rumored to appear in the late 1700s on the continent of Africa.
"Excuse me, but would you be Tsutomo the Main Archivist of the library here?" Ariel asked politely. The old man jumped off of the stool he was on, showing that he was still spry for his age.
He answered in a soft tone, "Yes, my name is Tsutomo. What can I help you with?".
~At 1:20 p.m.~
Things were going smoothly for the Disney ladies as they were looking over some of the books that were in the archives. Alice, Regina, Anna, Tracy, Lady Beneditka, Fawn and Zarina had already seen some of them, so they asked Cateline to make copies of the many volumes they had seen earlier. Tsutomo gave the company his blessing and permission to copy the books, so long as the originals stayed and they were not damaged in any way. The magical fairy assured him that the original books and other reading materials would be kept safe and undamaged. After the books were copied and stored in Cateline's special magical pouch, all of them sat at two large tables that were close by to read more on the kaiju that existed in this universe. Anna and the ones who came here before started to read materials that showed rumors of monsters that had been spotted worldwide. Cinderella and the rest read the books that the others did before, all finding what they saw fascinating.
Although they looked calm and pleasant on the outside, inside the minds and hearts of the fair Disney beauties… their anger towards Saburo was still simmering hot and strong. They had simply put a lid, so to speak, on that particular emotion until the time was right to confront the fool who had almost destroyed the planet in his quest for revenge. Miki, Nobuko, Joseph and Daimon, who were reading some monster magazines with their companions, had to really admire the iron will and resolve that was part of the ladies' spirit and being.
Ariel was looking at one of the books that had a picture of Monster Island… one that showed a peculiar symbol, one that was seared into the very ground like a gigantic cattle prod at marked it. The symbol was that of a large circle that had two smaller circles above it, somewhat in the shape of a mouse's head and ears. And in the circle was the lines that Fauna saw all those years ago when Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and Anguirus were returned back to their world! She thought, 'That is exactly like the symbol that Fauna saw years ago, only the two smaller circles the addition. And also the symbol that Elsa and Anna told us about after their fight against Maleficent and Hans! I wonder if this is a sort of link that connects our universe to theirs…'. Her mind was whirling with thoughts and theories on this, wondering if this symbol was a key to something big.
Before she could go further, everyone heard a voice over the loudspeaker. It was Kenichi and he stated, "EVERYONE, SUPER X-III HAS BEEN SIGHTED IN TOKYO BAY! THEY WILL ARRIVE IN TEN MINUTES AT THE HANGER!". Upon hearing the announcement, the company closed any books or other reading material they had out, put them away on the shelves in the correct order, then walked out of the archives. They passed Tsutomo, thanking the elderly man for their help who replied it was his duty and pleasure. Miki took point, guiding the Disney girls towards the main hanger where Super X-III would be landing at.
Each and every single one of the ladies from another universe had something formulating in their heads, some serious words for the pilots especially Saburo Hisoka.
They made it just in time to see the above hanger doors open, allowing for the craft to descend down. Anna saw that General Isao was nearby, looking rather subdued at the moment, with the Prime Minister and his aides with him. The co-ruler of Arendelle smirked slightly and asked, "Is there something wrong, General?".
The elderly man looked up, sending a slight scowl to the brunette beauty. He replied, "No… no. Everything is fine, your Highness.". But in reality, everything was not fine in his view point. He had been severely dressed down by the Prime Minister, the political leader of Japan showing that he was greatly disappointed in the judgement of the military man. Even he stated that he should have waited just a bit longer for Elsa to finish her cooling down of Burning Godzilla before sending Super X-III in to aid her, and then asking on why he did not notice Saburo's burning desire for revenge and that his vendetta showed his disobedience that almost cost the entire planet. Fortunately, Isao Jun was a man of honor and thus took responsibility for Saburo's actions. He made no excuses, and vowed to make sure that the soldier receives the highest penalty for such insubordination.
Everyone was now looking up as Super X-III came into view… and their mouths dropped in shock at seeing not just the flying machine almost completely frozen over, but that underneath said object was Elsa! The white-haired beauty had done a good job in concealing herself from prying eyes when she came back to Tokyo, hiding very close to the bottom section of Super X-III. She had used a great deal of her gift to fly back to headquarters, and also to keep the heavy craft afloat in mid-air. The one thing that kept her going was that she wanted to give the one who fired the conventional missile at Godzilla a piece of her mind… and perhaps a few right hooks to go along with it!
Elsa looked down to see the ground, carefully and slowly descending with Super X-III above her head. The landing gear in front and on both sides of her opened up slowly, revealing that at least that part of the craft was still functional. She gently put the machine down, the tires still strong enough to support the extra icy weight that was above it. Once it was settled, Elsa walked from underneath it and towards her sibling and friends. Anna ran over and gave her sister a hug, which she accepted, the fiery sibling very glad that she was alright. She asked, "Elsa, we saw what happened on the screens. But… what exactly happened out there?!". It was one thing to see things on a viewing screen, and another when hearing it from one who was really there.
The Snow Queen answered, "It got… chaotic once this infernal machine started to fire on Godzilla. I just needed about five or so minutes until he was iced over so that he would not see them coming in, and that he would not see my actions as a betrayal! And then when it fired that missile that I felt was going to really harm him… I just snapped! Something deep within me awakened, and I almost lost it. It was like the time when I almost buried Arendelle in a blizzard long ago, but more intense!".
Before anyone else could say anything, the hatch door opened and climbing out was Captain Anderson, his crew following behind him. All of them were rubbing their arms to try and stave off the cold that they still felt after getting off of the ship. The crewmembers walked away slowly from the frozen aircraft, trying to get some warmth and blood circulating back into their bodies. General Isao went to Chris and exclaimed, "Captain, what in the Seven Hells happened out there?! I believed I ordered that no fiery explosive missiles were to be on the ship! So how can you explain that one managed to get on the Super X-III?!".
Chris answered in a firm tone, "I do not know, sir. Saburo here refuses to speak on how he was able to get a missile like that onboard the plane.".
A familiar voice called out, "I believe I can answer that.". All turned to see that coming towards them was Arisu Chinatsu, the young Japanese woman holding firm as she looked directly at Saburo. The Japanese man avoided her eyes, already showing he had lost honor here. Kenichi inquired on what she knew, and the G-Force employee told the story on how she saw Hisoka-san made plans with a mechanic and engineer last night to sneak the conventional missile on board the Super X-III. General Isao asked on why she did not tell anyone sooner.
She answered, "I didn't think that Saburo would really go through with the plan, especially if it would put the entire planet at risk. I guess… I guess my faith was misplaced.". The general sighed, telling Chinatsu-san that he would have to talk to her later on about the importance of informing one's superiors of anything that would be amiss if it was serious enough.
Elsa walked over to the Japanese man, seeing defiance in his eyes as he was still trying to warm himself up. The Snow Queen gave him a sharp look before letting her left hand fly, a loud SMACK sounding off as she just slapped him hard! This caused his head to jerk back, and some sharp pain flaring up on his right cheek. She spoke with an icy edge that could cut steel if possible, "What is it that can possibly lead you to disobey your leader?! What is it that made you so mad with revenge that you risk every living being on this planet!? Why do you hate Godzilla so?!".
Saburo gathered himself, trying to look more defiant as ever. In his view, the woman was an outsider, a gaijin. Therefore, she had no business in butting in affairs that did not concern her. He rudely stated, "I will not explain myself to an outsider like yourself. Especially one that rather help a monster then destroy it.". He turned to walk away, but was confronted by Lady Benedtika. The 5'11 female Mountain looked dead into his eyes, a couple inches taller than Hisoka though. She had grown a little bit more over the past years in the Disney realm. With little warning, the man was PUNCHED by the powerful being! All were stunned as they saw Saburo just knocked onto the floor, skidding a few feet on the floor as he was decked good! The Japanese man quickly rose up, holding a hand to his left cheek as it started to swell a little and turn an angry shade of red.
Lady Beneditka spoke with conviction and strength, like that of the great North Mountain itself! She said, "You disgrace your commander and leaders with insubordination… you disobeyed direct orders… and you almost cost every man, woman, child and animal their lives with your acts of revenge! If anything, Godzilla is not the true monster here. I have seen beasts like him… but TRUE monsters often take human form, and I see one before me now.".
Saburo's pride and anger rose to the surface, both emotions boiling hot with rage as he lost his cool. He exclaimed, "I'M THE MONSTER HERE?! NO, IT IS THAT GODZILLA WHO IS THE MONSTER! I LOST MY ONLY BROTHER BECAUSE OF HIM WHEN HE CAME TO FIGHT THAT MECHANICAL THREE-HEADED DRAGON! I BET OTHERS HAVE LOST SOMEONE PRECIOUS BECAUSE OF THAT FIRE-BREATHING FIEND! I WOULD HAVE AVENGED MY BROTHER, AND MANY OTHERS IN TAKING DOWN THAT ABOMINATION!".
Now it was laid bare on why the man had done what he did, and while some showed some sympathy for the soldier, most did not. Melody walked and stood by Lady Benedtika, the others following so they could support & back up their friend. The daughter of Ariel and Eric spoke, "I am sorry about your brother, and those that died due to the battle. But Godzilla is NOT a monster! He is a being that was created by man's negligence, in his thirst for advancement in science and power. He never asked to become what he is today, and he is much more than meets the eye. We have seen it back in our world, and now here.".
The crew member of Super X-III was seeing red, very much offended that Melody would still stick up for such a beast. He walked towards her hard, looking very much like he would do something physically harmful to her. Elsa was the first to react, stopping Saburo in his tracks as she instantly frozen his body from the neck down! The people of Japan were a bit startled to see things quickly going out of hand, but it was the Prime Minister that told everyone to back away for the moment. In his eyes, this was an affair of honor and they could not interfere. Tadao, Kenichi and others were impressed on how quickly Saburo was frozen over like that.
Ilbert left the safe confines of Cinderella's pocket, going over to the frozen human and starting to climb upward to his face. Apparently, he had the guts and bravery of his father Gus. It was a bit of a climb, but he managed to make it and was staring hard into the eyes of the mystified man who was surprised that a simple creature was wearing clothing like a human and acting like one. Ilbert made a motion like a boxer and squeaked, "Put'em up, put'em up!". He then whirled his arm around fast like a tornado, and punched Saburo in the nose! The man sniffed a bit, the punch not painful but surprising. Using what little control he had, he swung his head and knocked the mouse down off of him.
His sister Plaisance gasped, leaving Cinderella's pocket as well to check on her brother. He was knocked a bit silly, but not hurt badly. Once she saw that he was okay, she glared at the human and was about to go up and really do something to make him pay when Lady Beneditka stepped forward. She scooped up both brother and sister in her hands, saying, "You are both brave ones indeed. However, allow me to take care of this fool.". She went back to the group to put their furry friends back in Cinderella's care. The Mountain troll looked to Elsa, asking her to release Saburo.
The Snow Queen asked with a bit of heat in her tone, "Why?! He was about to strike Melody, and he knocked poor Ilbert down like that!". Indeed, most of the Disney ladies and some of the Japanese people felt that it was better to leave Hisoka were he was, in a block of ice.
However, the formidable leader stated, "If he wishes to resort to violence instead of listening, then this is the only way to get through to him. I want to defend the honor of my friends, as well.". Elsa knew what she was getting at, looking at Saburo and seeing the hate burning in his eyes. It seemed that violence was the only answer to this, so with great reluctance, she unfroze him by taking back the ice she just used. The middle-aged Japanese man stumbled a bit before regaining his balance, a bit startled that he was free but that was washed away by the rage that was still burning hot within his being.
He snarled, "You want to fight me?! You are a woman, a mere outsider! There is no way that you will be able to even lay a hand on me!". His anger was clouding his judgement, not seeing that Lady Benedtika was a real fighter. She had trained with her people, done battle against creatures that would give others nightmares for weeks, and was also a Mountain troll. They were tougher, more resilient and stronger than the average human. However, Saburo did not see any of that due to his anger and his thirst to uphold what little honor he had left.
Lady Benedtika told her friends to stand back, then looked towards the Prime Minister. She asked, "Would you please let everyone to stay back for this fight, sir? This is between me and your soldier, and I would not like it for anyone to interfere.". He agreed, already telling his people and aides to not lend aid to either of them until the fight was done
The matriarch of the North Mountain looked to her opponent and stated, "No weapons permitted, only the natural abilities you have. And you must yield by saying loud for all to hear.". She wanted to fight on even ground with the Japanese man, getting her body into a slight posture that showed she would be ready for anything. Also, she would not taunt him in any way with words. She did not believe in sending verbal low blows of any kind to a foe she was facing, wanting to fight with honor and dignity.
Saburo sneered and replied, "Fine by me! Just get ready to say uncle when I kick your ass, gaijin!". He got into a martial arts stance, the kind that G-Force trained all of their soldiers in. On the sidelines, Chris and General Isao were really embarrassed by the actions of Hisoka and hoped that Lady Benedtika could end this farce quickly.
Back in the Disney realm, all that were seeing the action taking place right before them were cheering Lady Benedtika! The Mountain trolls and citizens of Arendelle were cheering loudly for their friend/leader, while back at Sennen the others were calling for Benedtika to really put the hurt on the one who dared to harm their queen and furry friend. Some of the more vigorous and excited youths and adults made fighting motions and such, pretending that they were going to fight Saburo and winning. Håvard was looking on intently, wanting to see his teacher fight and also studying her opponent since he felt that Hisoka-san was hiding something on his being.
Chris stepped forward, looking at both opponents before stating, "Ready… BEGIN!". He went back to the sidelines quickly, turning around so he could see the fight. Saburo yelled out as he charged at Lady Benedtika, wanting to end this quickly and put the outsider in her place. The Mountain troll stood firm like the North Mountain itself, ready to counterattack when the time was right.
Saburo unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks to the beautiful being, showing that he indeed had some martial arts training. But unfortunately for him, he only took basic military and karate training, which was standard for any G-Force members. There were advanced classes, but since he figured that he would man the communication systems, such advance classes were not for him. Lady Benedtika was trained very hard and long, before and after she ascended to being the matriarch of the North Mountain trolls. She had blocked, parried and easily withstood the onslaught of rage-fueled fury. The members of G-Force were surprised to see the feminine warrior taking all of those attacks, standing firm like the rock while Saburo flew around her like water.
General Isao looked towards Anna and Elsa, the two queens having small smirks on their faces as they witnessed the battle. He asked, "Can you friend really fight, or is she just good at defense?".
The fiery sister of Elsa answered, "Oh, she can fight! Believe me, we have seen her go up against beings and beasts that are more stronger, faster and experienced then this guy here. She used to fight huge rock monsters called Rock Wyrm's frequently!". Many of them were confused on what a Rock Wyrm is, Daimon and Joseph making a mental note to ask her later.
This kept up for a few minutes, Saburo getting cocky as it seemed that Beneditka was merely defending herself. He called out with arrogance, "Ha! Just like I thought! You can only defend! You're not strong enough to attack, cause you are weak! Just like your friends since they seem to want to bond with a monster instead of doing the sensible thing like destroying it!". His pride, anger and arrogance would be the poor soul's downfall, as after Benedtika blocked a straight punch to her chest… she countered by delivering a right-thrust kick to his chest that knocked the wind out of him! He would have flown back, but the breathtaking warrior kept a good grip on his hand.
The warrior now started her offensive attack, showing to all that she was very much versed in physical fighting without a weapon. Lady Benedtika punched him hard in the stomach with a left hook, a vicious head-butt that made everyone wince when it came in contact with Saburo's skull, and also an overthrow slam that made the fool yell out in pain from the impact! Lady Benedtika was using simple, basic but powerful moves against her opponent. Against more serious foes, she would go all out but she assumed right that this amount of skill and power would do against her foe. She grabbed him by the scruff of the shirt, making him look at her in the eyes and asked, "Do you yield now? I will show you mercy even though you do not deserve it.".
Saburo answered by quickly taking something from his left shirt pocket, flipping it open to reveal it to be a pocket knife, and slashed at Benedtika's wrist! The cut was very superficial, barely even breaking the skin. Some would say it was a very light paper cut. The Mountain troll beauty released him, though more surprise then actual pain. Hisoka rose back up quick, all traces of cockiness gone and was replaced by pure anger and rage. His pride was shredded, his honor gone completely… the only thing left in his mind was to beat the strange gaijin by any means necessary!
The audience back in the Disney realm were calling foul, many citizens and nobles declaring that Lady Benedtika had already won due to the human using a weapon. The military commanders and leaders shook their heads, along with the ones in the Toho universe, seeing that this would not end well at all for the revenge-driven soldier.
Said being charged at Benedtika, slashing wildly like a true maniac. He exclaimed, "I WILL NOT LOSE TO A FREAK WHO IS DETERMINED TO DEFEND A MONSTER LIKE GODZILLA!". Alice and the others called out to their friend, but Lady Beneditka stood firm. She was ready to end this, now that she saw that her opponent was now nothing more than a crazed fool with no honor or self-control. However, help came from an unexpected source. When Hisoka-san was close enough, his weapon glowed with a blue aura and was suddenly wrenched from his hand! He looked at his now empty right hand, turning with blazing eyes to see Daimon Lavestia looking serious, now holding the pocket knife that he had just snatched from his hand with his psychic abilities.
His attention came back when Lady Benedtika yelled out, "Focus on your opponent, fool!". He turned around… just in time to see the Mountain troll warrior deliver a wicked uppercut that sent him flying upwards hard! Benedtika had seen some kids playing an arcade game at the hotel pool area, and many chose a character named Ryu that apparently shot blue fireballs and spinning kicks. The one that got her attention was the Shoryuken, a rising uppercut that did look to be potent despite it being in a game. So she decided that now was the time to test it out, delivering what was to be a very good rendition of one of the legendary Street Fighter character's special moves!
Saburo went flying high, landing on his back as the attack had knocked him on the chin hard and he was feeling pain very much. He panted as he was sprawled on the ground, looking up to see his foe standing over him. He glared at her, but his glare turned to a look of fear when Lady Benedtika materialized her battle axe and slowly brought the blade's fine, sharp metal edge close to his face. All were tense, except for the Disney beings who knew their friend very well. The Mountain troll stated firmly, "You have dishonored yourself, your commanders and friends for acting so wildly, with little to no self-control. Of both your actions and feelings, allowing negative poison to come inside you! By all rights… I should slay you were you stand for pulling a weapon on me.".
Chris looked ready to interfere, General Isao as well, but the Prime Minister told them to trust in the woman. Lady Benedtika looked hard and long at Hisoka-san, the man sweating as the axe's edge was close to his nose. After a few moments, she lifted the weapon up and dispelled back to subspace. She said, "But I will not. Unlike you, I understand of self-control and honor. You need to be reminded of that as well.". She then walked away from him, signaling to all that she had won the battle! She walked over to her companions, who hugged and congratulated her on such a victory. The Prime Minister walked over to the company, the small celebrations ceasing when he was near.
The leader of a formidable country and nation then bowed to her, a sign of respect and thanks. He rose back up to his height and stated, "Thank you for sparing him, and also showing skill and honor in your fight. I promise that we will resolve the matter with Hisoka right away.". He looked to some soldiers, nodding his head and ordering them to take the beaten soldier to the medical bay for healing. The Minister, and the Disney ladies, looked to General Isao and Captain Anderson now, wanting to hear their words.
Chris said, "I take full responsibilities for my actions against Burning Godzilla, and also for the shame that Saburo has dealt here. He will be HEAVILY disciplined for his actions, and charged in court!". The captain was really embarrassed and ashamed of Saburo's actions, and was going to do whatever he could to make it up to the visitors from another universe, and G-Force as well.
Elsa and the other Disney beauties accepted his words, then looked to the General. Ariel spoke, "It seems that we are on thin ice were it concerns you, SIR. We will still work with you, but from now on… we will do thing our own way where it concerns Godzilla or his son. Is that clear?". The elderly military leader swallowed his pride, nodding his head because at this moment there was little he could do. He lost face in front of his fellow commanders that were there, and also the Prime Minister.
Joseph spoke up, "Come on, let's go and see what we can do for now. Rapunzel, do you still want to do the examination at Section M?". She replied yes, and asked to lead the way. Lady Benedtika followed, the Pixie Hollow fairies right behind her. The Prime Minister and his aides left as well, to go back to running the country. That left for General Isao to clean up the mess he had made, and the elderly man let out a sigh as he looked to Captain Chris and the others. The rest dispersed, among them was Kenichi as he was going back to his station to think… to think on the talk he was going to have with his aunt Emiko and sister Yukari soon.
~At the Institute~
While the battle was taking place at G-Force, another battle of sort was taking place at the Tokyo Biology & Technology Institute where Dr. Kensaku had been studying the video pictures of the tanks that had been attacked by something unknown. He had brought the security footage back the institute due to that they had more advanced equipment to take a better look on what happened last night. The doctor was looking at one of the fishes that was attacked, and was looking for something that might have caused it to just dissolve like that. Around him were his fellow compatriots, and some technical experts, as all were examining the film.
He soon spotted something going in and out of the fish rapidly, something red and very tiny to see. He told one of the technicians, "Hold it there, and zoom in please.". The person did so, stopping the film and zooming in on the red object. The screen showed that the red object was a crustacean of sort, looking like a mixture of a crab and a trilobite. The image was still a bit fuzzy to make out the object clearly, so he ordered that a 3-D scan be made of the object. The image was shot in green, and a three-dimensional scan of it popped up. Now it DID resemble an animal, one that no one had seen since time began!
"Dr. Ijuin, what on earth is that?! It's like a crab or something, but nothing I have ever seen before!", one of the aides exclaimed, all eyes locked on the 3-D object.
Kensaku was looking intently at the picture, wondering on what it was. He thought, 'Could it be… is it possible…?!'. After some time looking at the picture, he started to head for the door. The company around him were surprised, and one of his fellow scientists exclaimed on why he was leaving.
Kensaku answered, "I need to check on something right away in one of my labs. Everyone, get the data here ready to be presented as quickly as possible by tomorrow! And be sure to tell no one else about this! I'll be back soon.". He left, slamming the door as he ran towards one of his labs.
He went down the hall and took a left, going to where the soil samples were being studied at. He looked at the one marked #6, stopping the machine that was gently shaking the bottles and was examining the insides for signs of life. He looked under it… and saw flecks of dirt from underneath it. He took the tube, and slowly turned it around, finding the hole that was melted through! He said to himself, "So there was a life-form in this sample…".
He felt his gut and mind wrenching as what he theorized was coming together… and unfortunately, coming true.
~Deep in the sewer system~
The five life-forms that had fed in the aquarium were now in the sewer system, swept away by the strong suction currents that were in the aquarium. They had their fill of prey, and were still growing at a rapid pace. Last night, they were only 3 mm small. And now, they were about the size of an average crab. They were growing rapidly, evolving in both body and minds. But they were still quite primitive, only knowing what to kill and seeking food. The Precambrian-era mutants soon smelled living food, rats to be more precise. They had the hunger to feed again, and thus started to seek out their quarry.
Things were really heating up now in the nation of Japan!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! I really hoped you enjoyed it, because for me it is not easy to make action sequences. Monster battles are easy, but fighting scenes between smaller forces… a little more difficult to do.
I once again thank God and Jesus for helping me out with this chapter immense! Thank you Lord for giving me the patience, conviction and tenacity to see this story and chapter through!
For the action sequences, I took a cue from one my fave TV series when I was a kid, Family Matters. I watched the episodes where Steve Urkel turned into Bruce Lee, and the fighting scenes he took part in. For me, it's still cool to see martial arts action like that!
So it seems that Dr. Kensaku has found about the escaped life-forms, the Destroyah life-forms are growing/evolving rapidly, and it seems that Lady Benedtika defended the honor of her friends and of their actions towards Godzilla. Things will really pick up soon, that much I promise!
And before I ask the question, I like to answer some from the fans and reviewers:
To anime-death-angel, if I could let the Disney girls and the ones in their realm see a movie from the Toho universe, it would have to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze. I think they would get a kick at seeing something so funny and cool at the same time! I believe that some of them would be wondering if it were possible for an animal to become human-like, and learn the ways of fighting.
To The Question: I have not seen either movies yet, but I will get around to them when I find the time. Also, the mechas and the previous Super X's will play their part soon! I want to build up suspense and have everyone guessing! Believe me, I hope that you like what comes up concerning the JDSDF, G-Force and the Crimson Katana!
Now for my questions:
What choice words would you say about Saburo Hisoka if you were one of the witnesses in the Disney universe?
Would you defend any of the Disney girls if he tried to physically harm them?
Any advice for Lady Benedtika before the fighting started?
How would you have ended the fight if you were the one fighting Saburo?
And finally, what would your first thoughts be upon seeing the 3-D image of the small Destroyah that annihilated the fishes?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews please!)
