Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! Thank you all for the reviews! Your words, be they complement, suggestions or ideas have really helped me out in making this novel a hit. So I humbly thank each and every one of you who have read and reviews my third and final book of my Monsters and Magic series!
But first and most importantly, I want to give thanks and glory to God and Jesus Christ! It was He who has given me the gift of imagination and of writing, and I want to do my best in this story for the Lord. So I give all glory and praise to Jesus for all He has done in helping me make this story what is has become so far! I never want to become arrogant or selfish thinking I did this all on my own, because I didn't. Lord, thank you once again!
Now to answer some questions from those who have asked, or have made some observations on my novel that I would like to clear up. Here it goes:
To we are the meta: The legacy of the Toho monsters that are bonded to the Disney ladies is not as simple or ending as that, my friend. Trust when I say this, like the slogan of the famous Transformers: There is more to it than meets the eye! All I ask is that you trust me on this, and have patience please.
To Kaiju Avenger: Yes, Tinkerbell and the pixies were awakened due to being experimented on which will be explained and shown here. Keep the faith and hope that all will be well with the Disney ladies, despite the dire situation they are in.
To Kearitona Sjachraelgil: You are correct! While most of the Toho characters such as Kenichi who put their faith and definitions into science, the more reasonable ones see things clearly like you did. Burning Godzilla's heart is not breaking down, but going into overdrive to protect the only people that have cared for him very much. And I like the reference you my, my lady! On how Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony went all out against Tirek after her library home was destroyed. And also on how Goku from the legendary show Dragonball & Dragonball Z became more enraged on both times, during his young and adult years, when his best friend Krillin was killed by evil forces.
To LORD DESTRYUK: It is answered as a yes! So get ready and prepared! And keep those long, good scenarios of yours in the reviews flowing in!
To Titanzilla: Thank you, and very much true! And I never want to forget that truth.
To Buizel79, 94, GODZILLA1996, and Dexter: Thank you to all of you who have recommended what voices should belong to Godzilla and his son Junior! I will look them up, and see on which voice is best suited for the King & Prince of the Monsters!
Even though Disney has told that my novels will never be accepted by them, I have accepted that and will continue to write stories like this because I love to. Also, I really hope my works inspire others to reach for the stars! To have a dream, such as combining two very unlikely things like Godzilla with the Disney princesses, and gain the conviction, courage, drive and joy in making said dream come true! Even if it is on paper, so to speak.
I also hope to inspire others to look to Christ for the answers, to show everyone the good works and designs of God! I am a Christian at heart, and I really love to mix what I love together like this! Disney, Godzilla and Jesus Christ!
I do not own Godzilla nor any of the characters and monsters that officially belong to Toho. I do not own any of the characters and places that also officially belong to the Walt Disney Company. I do own my OC creations, and most of the songs used in my novels so far. If I use a song that is by an artist's/artists, I will give him/her/them their just credit and dues as it is their right.
And again… sincerely hope to see YouTube video reviews concerning any of my novels. If you need pictures to use in said video reviews, let me know and I will see what I can do in getting you said pictures.
Now, on with the novel!)
Chapter 25
While things had been getting intense in the Toho universe, things were really simmering in the Disney realm. It has a little after five months since the bonded of Godzilla and his son left their own universe to help the monsters, and now just a few days had passed since those who were there to witness the events that transpired in the Toho world. The citizens in the kingdoms of Agrabah, Arendelle, Lelystad, Neverland and Sennen had been going through mixed emotions after hearing & witnessing Kenichi Yamane's report on Burning Godzilla's latest condition, and also seeing Momoko-sama forcing her way into the sacred bond between the royal ladies and the kaiju. The mixed emotions were of anger, sorrow, and worry in all of the royal realms.
The anger was mostly directed at the Crimson Katana and its leader, many citizens hoping that something really terrible would happen to Momoko. Normally, the citizens would not be so violent in their thoughts towards anyone or anything unless it was truly warranted. Momoko had earned their ire and wrath upon not only forcing her way into the link between the Disney women and the titans, but also making them helpless in the Dream Realm and forcing them to watch her try and subvert to her twisted will Godzilla and Junior. In their view, a friendship like what the royal women and the monsters had between each other was sacred and good. To even mess that up like what Momoko did was a great insult to that belief, and many wanted the evil woman to fail in her plans and pay for her crimes. In addition, the royal/noble/common folk were also angry at the yakuza organization when they realized that it was due to Tadao and his flunkies' actions that caused their hero to now undergo something far worse than an explosion.
One of the royal children, Colette who was the daughter of Tracy and Mainard, actual stated in her own way that she would put Momoko and her entire crew in time-out for a long time in their rooms.
That is where the sadness came from, which was Burning Godzilla now undergoing a meltdown. Those that heard and saw Kenichi Yamane's explanation on the saurian's condition were shocked silent. In their view, melting was something very horrible and more gruesome then any form of death. And many were disappointed in the Yamane lad when he explained what was happening to Godzilla in scientific terms. While most scholars and those of scientific pursuits would take the young Japanese man's side, they also felt that he was wrong about the breaking down part. Godzilla's heart, not reactor, was not breaking down at all… it was beating harder, faster and stronger in order to save those he cared about. Unlike those in the Toho realm who studied science, the ones in the Disney realm still had their hearts and thus were more empathetic and slightly wiser than those in the other universe.
The worry came in the form on what would happen now when those captured by Momoko would learn of Burning Godzilla's fate. None of the people could even fathom what those like Elsa or Melody would do upon hearing fully about the King of the Monster's condition and fate. Also, some of the people were assuming that since there was no way to help Godzilla… if they should recall the ladies and bring them back home to their universe.
However, among the negative emotions there was some good ones that came from watching the intense events that occurred in Godzilla's world.
Among the good emotions was a sense of pride, but not of the arrogant kind. Many men, women and children were glad and proud to hear Godzilla and Junior's declaration in not wanting to be controlled by Momoko… in not wanting to lose their bond with their real companions! The ones that looked up to Godzilla as a hero, many little ones and young adults, were glad and happy when they heard the King of the Monsters forgive Elsa on what she did to him. And that he would still save her and the others no matter what! This cemented their proof that truly the monster was a hero, not a mindless brute.
The adult men and women were also impressed by the sheer willpower that both kaiju father and son showed in resisting Momoko-sama for that long. Those in military, and those that engaged in battle just for the simple thrill of it, gave Godzilla and his son more respect as it was not easy at all to resist pain of the mental kind. While many could resist physical pain/torture, they would most likely fall to those of the psychological kind. So seeing the saurians holding firm and resisting evil earned the two monsters more respect and credit to the human and non-human beings.
Another good emotion that rose up was determination, as almost all of the citizens in the kingdoms were now figuring out ways to help Ariel and the others held captive. Even though they all knew that there was no way to help them physically, they wanted to do their part in wanting to find a weakness in Momoko's machine and abilities. It would allow them not to feel helpless in a situation such as this. In Agrabah, Malak's intended Prince Tufail was looking over his notes and research into magical practice and the Dream Realm. While his beloved and her friends were in Sennen with the others, he was back in Agrabah learning all he could about what it meant to becoming the next Sultan of Agrabah from Aladdin and Jasmine. And also he was learning the many customs, practices and other such things from watching the magical feed from the screens on Japan.
But currently, at the behest of the current Sultan and Sultana, Tufail was going over his own research in the fields of magic to see if he could find some sort of chink in Momoko's mental armor. He thought, 'While she is smart and certainly cunning, she must have a weakness! And I will find it!'. The young man knew for certain that while arrogant and prideful, Momoko was NOT stupid or foolish. So now he was going over on what kind of techniques that Elsa and the others might need to do in order to negate the effects Momoko had over them in the Dream Realm with the aid of her machines.
It was the same thing in Arendelle, as the people were going through many books and coming up with theories and their own ideas on how Elsa and Anna could turn the tables on the leader of the Crimson Katana. The citizens were very proud on what Godzilla declared in the Dream Realm, and thus wanted to do what they could so that the bond her shared with their royal Highnesses would not be corrupted again by Momoko-sama's presence.
In Sennen, things were vastly different than at the other kingdoms.
While the common and noble folk were coming up with ideas on how to help the others, the royal and magical members were having a serious meeting in the Main Chamber of the Marcel-Oxen castle. The doors, windows and curtains were sealed up tight by the servants to make sure that no one would be able to peek in or listen on what was going on. At the table were not just the royal members, but also the magical ones such as Queen Clarion and the Seasonal Ministers of Neverland. Upon seeing what happened to Tinkerbell, Vidia and Silvermist in the Dream Realm, they decided to become part of the meeting that was being held by King Oliver Oxen. No one objected to this, and also the king of Atlantica was in on the meeting! King Triton was communicating via a magical portal from his realm, his face and also Queen Sonia's could be seen by all.
And now that everyone was situated at the rather large round table that Genie conjured up for them… the meeting would begin.
King Oliver presided as he stood up and spoke, "Everyone… I believe we all know why this meeting has come to be. I believe that after the events that have transpired in Godzilla's world, and also with the monster's continued problem with his energy… it is best if the ladies and others return back home.".
Murmurs soon filled the area, many agreeing with the current king of the land. However, former king Eric Marcel spoke, "It won't be that easy to convince them, Oliver. You know how stubborn Ariel and Melody can be once they put their mind to something.". King Triton reluctantly agreed on that, saying that he remembers all of the time that his precious daughter in her child and teen years was very set in wanting to do what she believed was either right or fun. Though she did learn her lesson in the end, it would take some time and doing for her to see it.
One thing that Eric and Triton agreed on is that the female members of their family was greatly stubborn when wanting to set a wrong right.
King Azad added, "I am afraid that I must agree with both rulers. Elsa is quite loyal to those she deems worthy to have her trust and love, Anna also having this trait. And since Godzilla has done so much them, and now after his declaration, I am more than willing to bet that they will want to stay till very end.". King Kristoff agreed with him, him knowing Anna better than anyone else.
Princess Malak spoke, "While that maybe so, and I do admire their loyalty and dedication, I'm afraid that there is nothing they can do to help the monster. Burning Godzilla is already too hot even for Elsa to cool down like before, and it seems that the people of that world care more for themselves than for nature or what they brought about themselves.".
Queen Clarion added, "I am inclined to agree with the Princess of the Sand. While there are some noteworthy characters like Miki, Joseph, Daimon and the others, it is sadly only a very small drop in a large population of people in the city.".
Queen Dianne put forth, "And also, there are these new creatures that are coming forth. These… Destroyahs, that Doctor Kensaku called them. They sound to be extremely bad news, and I cannot help but wonder if magic will even work on them.". This was true, for the Destroyahs were unknown on a lot of levels. They knew that magic affected different kaiju differently, and also that Godzilla Junior still had the ability to increase magical abilities and effects significantly. But these mutated beasts that came LONG before the dinosaurs were completely unknown territory.
Genie was dressed like a secret service agent, along with his wife Eden as he stated in a voice that was similar to a movie star named Jack Nicholsen, "I gotta agree with you on that, ma'am. These little critters sound to be bad news, and we haven't even seen one yet. We gotta pull the ladies out of there before something else happens to them.".
Before any other words could be spoken between the royal members, Olaf with Carpet burst into the room! Eric was about to say something to the living snowman, but he paused when he saw the panicked look on his face. He exclaimed, "I'm sorry for busting in here like this, but you gotta come see what's showing right now on the Magic Mirror and big screen! It's showing something really scary and dangerous!". Normally, one would try to calm down the walking miracle of snow and ice, since Olaf tended to slightly exaggerate on issues now and again. But this was different, as he and the others outside had been watching what was going on in the other universe.
Oliver spoke, "We shall resume this meeting later. Right now, let us see what is developing now in Tokyo.". The royal and magical members agreed, Triton canceling his magical viewing portal so he could view what was happening on his end. All filed out, following Olaf as he and the living, flying rug rushed back outside towards the crowd.
When the company got close enough to see what was happening on both magical viewing portals, what they saw only cemented their decision to try and bring the ladies back home!
~In Tokyo~
It was about 10:00 p.m. in the metropolis of Tokyo, the city lights shining brightly amidst the dark, velvet sky. Nearby on a network of highways was the recently completed Tokyo Opera City Tower, a building that stood about 768 feet high and had 54 floors, making it a very impressive skyscraper. Already, businesses that were still rising high were planning to take residence there, such as Apple Inc., Microsoft Inc., and more that delved into the electronics field. The citizens of the popular city were going about their daily nightlife… when a terrible screech of inhuman proportions rose from one of the lower highways! Five large moving objects tore through the concrete pillars that held up the highway like it was nothing, causing large chunks of the structure to collapse!
In a matter of minutes, several police cars started to rush in on the scene! A voice came over the police radio in each vehicle and he stated, "Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Reports of unknown life-forms in the eastern industrial sector! Please respond immediately.". The men and women of the police force prepared themselves as they neared the scene of the devastation, among them was a black car that did not have any sirens or lights. It belonged to Dr. Kensaku, the scientist getting the report as well and quickly joining up with the police en route to the scene.
Some officers were already there, guiding the rest of the squad into an area where they can park their cards and disembark. Kensaku was already out, going to a group of policemen as they looked over some blueprints that showed the tower. He looked at the devastation that the creatures have made, and then at the tall building structure. One of the officers looked at the doctor and inquired, "Well doctor, what do you make of this? Is it like you thought?".
Kensaku answered, "Yes, I believe so! The creatures emerged underground to see what the areas was like, and must have used sheer strength alone to tear down the highway. These creatures, Destroyahs, most likely came here to seek out a place where to stay. A nest if you would.". He was going to say something like 'headquarters', but that would be ludicrous for the police to believe. Heck, he would barely believe it since it would make it sound like the monsters had human-like intelligence. He pointed to the underground water pipe system that was underneath the building.
The good doctor pointed to the blueprint network system and stated, "This place is dark and moist, an ideal location for them to stay.". In truth, this was all hypothesis for the man of science. These mutated beasts were still largely unknown in many areas, and were not doubt highly dangerous if they were able to take down a highway with little difficulty.
Shortly after the police arrived, the media started to come in as well. News vans started to make their way to the area, among them was the Tokyo Television Studio van and emerging from it was Yukari Yamane. The young lady looked to have gotten a good amount of sleep before getting ready, and when she heard the police broadcast on a signal that the van managed to listen into, she realized that the informant the boss told her about was right. She got out of the van, getting her hair up in a ponytail while her crew got out some equipment.
The beautiful reporter soon saw many other vans coming, her rivals and such also getting the same time. She muttered, "This is going to be one long night…". In a matter of minutes, many other reporters, cameramen and other media users formed a large group as more law enforcement came on the scene.
A policeman exclaimed while holding his baton, "Get back! Let the police vehicles through! Let them through!". Yukari and the others started to crowd, and saw some black cars with blue siren lights coming in. The entire lot realized that the situation must be serious, for they were not ordinary police vehicles… but they belonged to the Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF)! This organization was a levels above the local authority, so the people believed that the situation was serious if it called out the big guns.
One of the men inside the black cars radioed in, "Omega leader to Sigma. Omega leader to Sigma. We're in position and ready to move in. Over.". The black vehicles all drove to the entranceway of the building, which was closed for the night and all personnel inside evacuated. In perfect synchronization, the cars all pulled in and parked in a slight line before the beings came out to get to work. Men in black wearing military gear and helmets poured forth from the cars, opening the rear end doors which slid out to reveal a row of M4 carbine rifles, which was a lighter and shorter version of the M16A2 Assault rifle. Once they had their weapons, the soldiers gathered together so they could secure the area.
Around the other part of the building, more JSDF forces continued to pour in. From the radio of the black cars came a male voice, "Sigma leader to Omega. Sigma leader to Omega. We will cover the basement. Over.". The cars turned and went down a level tunnel, stopping close to the entrance before getting out and retrieving their weapons.
Up on the ground floor, a whole squadron of JSDF soldiers went through the sliding doors. Their leader stopped them shortly after going inside, using no verbal commands but hand signals. He sent a team to the left, and the remaining ones to the right and up some escalators that were off. In the Disney realm, the military commanders had to give this to the armed forces of Japan. They were well-organized and well-trained, General Dashboard and Rissing taking some notes to see on how they could improve their forces in the future.
The same happened underground in the basement, where all of the piping was at. Men and women in JSDF uniforms started to secure the area, going in adequate-numbered teams that watched each other's back and with potent weapons at their side. Soon, the whole building had soldiers on the ground and under it. Some of the members were packing some really heavy artillery, literally and figuratively. These soldiers were hauling heavily modified Type 100 flamethrowers, ones that were redesigned for the modern age. It was Kensaku's theory that Destroyah was vulnerable to extreme temperatures, of either heat or cold, as the environment is used to thrive in was moderate back in the very early times. Though since it had become mutated due to the Oxygen Destroyer 40 or so years ago, there was no telling if the theory was sound. But the JSDF was taking no chances on this.
After securing most of the underground facility, they started to check one last part of the area. Armed with rifles that packed some formidable firepower, flamethrowers and flashlights in case to light up dark places, the soldiers started to trickle into the area. Pipes of many sizes crisscrossed the upper areas, it certainly was moist and humid as steam was coming out from certain places from the pipes, and it was dark as could be. One of the soldiers checked his radar that was mounted on his weapon, one that scanned for signs of life.
Suddenly, a blip appeared on his radar! He exclaimed, "Everyone, I got a reading!". No sooner did he say that when something incredibly heavy and bulky dropped down from the ceiling! It was one of the Aggregate-form Destroyahs! The surprised soldiers had scattered when it dropped down from the ceiling, the mutated beast letting out a loud shriek to those it faced while it held a poor soul in the pincer-end of its tail! The soldier scream in pain as it was held and flailed around like a rag doll!
The ones in the Disney and Heavenly realm were all shocked upon seeing the creature, of course those of evil variety had a certain kind of gleeful expression upon seeing the monster. Hades had a bag of popcorn out, sharing it with his minions and those from other evil cultures as they watched the show. "HAHAHAHAHA! Now this is what I like to see! Even though it's just the preliminaries, its good enough for me!", he declared as he munched on some popcorn. The heroes and heroines on the side of Good glared at the Greek Underworld god before turning their attention back to what was going on in the mortal realm.
One of the JSDF soldiers yelled out in his communicator, "This is Sigma 7! We found the creature! Level B!". The small immature-form of Destroyah tossed the human away like it was trash, and one of the soldiers fired his weapon at the monster! The bullets impacted its skin, but nothing happened. It would seem that the mutated abomination was covered in armor the same way like a crustacean, so the small metal projectiles did not do much damage. The small Destroyah soon closed its amber-colored eyes, actually concentrating as golden lighting sparks seemed to fly out from its crest! Its mouth, which looked to be something from the alien beings from the American film Alien starring Sigourney Weaver, started to move about a bit… than it fired a blue beam from its maw!
It was shooting out a beam of micro-oxygen, also known as its Micro-Oxygen Spray!
When it hit one of the soldiers that was shooting at it, blue lighting sparks started to spread all over his body! And strange enough as it may sound, a miniature black-blue vortex appeared in the middle of his chest where the spray hit. It was the micro-oxygen particles that was eliminating the oxygen from the being's body, inside and out! The poor soul cried in pain and anguish, the blast shooting him from the area and through a window! He soon laid on the ground, sparks still cascading around his body and not moving. It would seem that Destroyah was indeed a living Oxygen Destroyer!
As the battle was being fought, back-up was coming towards the soldiers! One of the men called into his com, "Sigma leader to all units! Move in on level B immediately! Over!". The brave men and women of JSDF answered the call, going from various corridors towards level B to aid their comrades.
Meanwhile, said people were falling back and firing their weapons at the kaiju. Alas, their weapons had little effect as the monster kept crawling towards them on its crab-like legs. It screeched again, managing to corner one of the fighters. The man had ran out of ammo, and when Destroyah came in at close range… he yelled loudly, pulled out his handgun and fired at point-blank range at the head! Sadly, the head was armored like the rest of its body, and that blast did not deter Aggregate-form Destroyah as it started to feast on the human.
On one of the levels, soldiers were coming up… until they were blown away by another mini-Destroyah as it crashed through the wall! Most of the soldiers were blasted back, tumbling into the lower levels in a very hard and terrible way. One remaining soldier was left, caught between two monsters! The beasts showed no sign of remorse or pity, actually shrieking in delight before their crowns lit up in golden sparks and they both fired their spray at the unfortunate warrior. He let out terrible screams of pain as he was devoured by the micro-oxygen particles.
The five miniature kaiju were now coming all over the place, crashing through concrete walls to take the soldiers by surprise before devouring them or dissolving their bodies with their effective spray! The JSDF fought valiantly, continuing to fight til the very end! One had to give it to the Japanese Special Forces; they were persistent and never gave up, even if they were facing overwhelming opponents.
~At the central Downtown district~
The central hub of Downtown Tokyo was similar to that of New York City in the United States by design, many Japanese people looking at flashing billboards, news messages and whatnot. Right now, many people were out and about as they took in the nightlife of Japan. On one of the main signs that all could see at the hub in various angels was a message written in Japanese kanji. A news announcer came on the air and stated, "Here is a special news bulletin. Reports are coming in of mysterious creatures wreaking havoc near the Tokyo Bay area. We are now going to our reporter Yukari Yamane who is live at the scene.".
A teenage girl looked down at a portal TV set she carried with her that displayed what was going on in the area. Many patrons around her looked down and over her shoulder to see what was up. Yukari Yamane's face came on there, all professional as she gave her report. She stated, "I'm at the Tokyo Opera Tower, where fighting is going on behind me inside the building between special forces and some unknown creatures. Several soldiers have been badly injured, and the creatures are…".
Back underground in the basement, the soldiers had finally managed to regroup and recover. They were now chasing the Aggregate-form Destroyahs, shooting at them with their weapons. One of the commanders ordered, "There they go! Get them!". The team was chasing two of the beasts, shooting at them from various angles and with as much rapid fire as possible. Alas, it seemed that their bullets were not doing so much damage to the backside as they tried to the front. One of the JSDF members called out that they could do not enough damage due to the armor that was on the creature.
One of the leaders exclaimed, "Get that flamethrower in here now!". Shortly, a man with one of the modified flamethrowers came into the room and it was in front of the powerful kaiju. With a shout of "CLEAR!", the soldier fired his weapon at the monster, a large stream of flames striking the mini-Destroyah! It seemed to affect the creature as it stopped cold in its tracks and was now screeching in pain from the flames! It seemed that Dr. Kensaku Ijuin's theory was correct that the mutations did not like extreme temperatures!
Other teams on the slightly higher levels engaged two Destroyahs, but were beaten back when they fired their spray attacks at the concrete pillars! They reduced said things to dust from their attacks! It seemed that they indeed possessed high intelligence, using the explosion of dust and rock to stun the soldiers and charge right through them! One of the soldiers with a flamethrower came in and forced the two monsters to retreat, going right through solid concrete wall and into the earth as they burrowed away!
On the higher levels, one of the JSDF teams spotted a Destroyah and aimed a rocket launcher at it. They fired, the deadly missile streaking towards the beast! It would have killed it, but its comrade came in and fired its spray at the projectile! It exploded, not killing the monsters but sending a powerful shockwave that hurled them through the wall and down a level! When they saw that the prey had a good means of defense against them, the two mutations decided to retreat. They scuttled their way past many soldiers along the hall, going through one of the walls and outside! They then burrowed into the earth, using their instincts to guide them to their other comrades.
The fifth and last member was trapped in a room, preparing to burst its way through the metal door that contained it. However, several JSDF members located it with their radar and one of the soldiers took out a pin grenade. He shouted out, "Fire in the hole! Clear!". They opened the door, he tossed the grenade in and all of the soldiers quickly got away from the area. The Destroyah saw the small object, and instincts warned it that it was something bad. It turned around and decided to bust right through the wall to escape! Just in time, as the weapon exploded! It sent out a powerful shockwave blast, along with metal shrapnel that would have serious damaged or killed any living thing that got close to it.
The soldiers checked the room, but saw that their target had escaped into the earth… and was burrowing towards the surface! "Everyone, back above ground! Move, move, move!", the commander exclaimed, speaking into his com to the remaining forces and the leaders that their target was moving towards the surface and outside of the secure area.
Up on the surface near the building, Yukari Yamane was continuing her report. She said into her microphone while the cameras were on her, "Apparently, there are several creatures about ten feet in height, they are reptile-like and dangerous…". Before she could say another word, the ground rumbled beneath them and something sounding like a train coming in filled the air! The people looked around to what it was, and where it was coming from. Yukari saw that her cameraman was pointing not to her, but behind her. She inquired on what was up, and she got her answer when she turned around… and saw one of the Destroyahs emerge!
"Get out of here! Run!" shouted almost everyone as reporters, cameramen and other media workers started to scramble out of there like mad! The regular police started to take cover behind cars, some hiding behind large riot shields, as they started to fire their handguns at the strange creature. The civilians made a mad dash to safety, while the men and women in uniform and armor stayed behind to cover their escape. The creature was not harmed by their low-level firearms, and just seemed to be standing there surveying the scene.
Yukari did not flee, moving slowly backward as she took in shocked awe at the mutation that was now looking at her! She whispered, "A living Oxygen Destroyer… Ken was right!". Indeed, it seemed her crush was correct about these monsters the entire time. Some of the armored officers brought in shotguns, and they packed a more powerful punch then the handguns. When the shots managed to at least get the mini-Destroyah's attention, it started to charge right at the group that was fleeing from them! Yukari now started to run, going to hide behind a large construction vehicle as she wanted to witness everything. The building, while completed, was under some construction underground such as setting up more levels and pipes to stabilize the foundation a bit more.
Several regular policemen were being forced to retreat as the mini kaiju was scuttling towards them, firing as many rounds as they could from their handguns. Golden sparks once again emerged from the top of the beast's head, and it fired its Micro-Oxygen Spray once more! Miss Yamane looked in horror as the spray hit one of the police officers, a black-blue vortex opening in his chest area… and the beam-spray emerging from the other side of his back! She had never seen anything like it before, not even from other monsters! The officer screamed in pain and horror as the micro-oxygen molecules eliminated the ones from his body, blasting him high and far until he crashed through a construction officer's wood & glass door hard!
"Come on, let's get out of here! Run!" one of the officers exclaimed, he and his fellow policemen beating feet and retreating. Even they knew that they were no match for the monster, so they hauled away any hurt officer with them as they fell back.
Once the mini-Destroyah saw his prey flee, he sensed another nearby. He started to track down Yukari, following the scent that came from her body. The young Japanese woman started to circle the large green truck she was hiding behind, making sure that the monster did not see her at least. In a sense, this was a very deadly game of Ring-Around-The Rosie! Yukari thought, 'If I get out of this alive… I am SO going to let the boss have it in the face!'. She saw an empty police car nearby, and decided that hiding in it was better than fleeing. If she did flee, the aggressive kaiju would spot her & just with one spray of its breath… that would be all she wrote! She quietly ran to the car, opened up the back door and got in. But upon slamming the door, the Aggregate-form Destroyah heard it and let out a screech as he went to the strange metal object.
Kensaku Ijuin was still on the scene, wondering on what was going on with the forces of JSDF. He saw the media people running fast away from an area, looking around but not finding Yukari anywhere. He had seen her come in earlier, but ignored her due to that he had a duty to do with the Special Forces. He went to the camera-man that was with her and asked, "Where's Yukari?! Where is she?!".
The TV crew worker answered, "I don't know! We got separated after that monster came out from the building!". The doctor looked towards the place where the others were fleeing from, and against his own self-preservation instincts, ran in to see if he could save the woman that he had grown very fond of!
Meanwhile, Yukari was looking and hearing all over for the mutated beast that was chasing her. She looked this way and that, but no physical sign of it. And she could near nothing either. She thought, 'Maybe it turned around to find someone else? If that's true, I need to get out of here quickly but quietly.'. She slowly opened the door of the police car, wanting to make sure that she was safe. She was about to get out… when the small monster attacked! It let out a screech as it extended one of its scythe-like arms, holding the door opened while Yukari screamed out in fright! It seemed that Destroyah was versed in the art of sneak-attacks, as it just showed.
Miss Yamane tried to shut the door, but the beast's strength was just too great. He ripped the door wide open, causing Yukari to back more into the car for safety. Seeing that he could not lower his head to get to his meal, he shrieked before crawling on top of the car. When he was on the roof, golden sparks shot out from the tips of his crab-like legs. It was channeling some micro-oxygen into his appendages to make the metal weaker and more vulnerable! The monster than started to crush the metal object with his body, wanting to force the prey out. Yukari at first covered her head so the broken glass would not cut her face, than she managed to crawl into the front seat.
Yamane-san turned the key to start the car, but it wouldn't work. "Come on, you hunk of junk! Come on!", she vented at the vehicle, but it was of no use. The creature was weighing down the car, and even though the young woman put the pedal to the metal and burned rubber… she got nowhere fast as the mini-Destroyah was too heavy. Sensing that its prey was trying to escape, Destroyah used on its claw-arms to rip away the front door! Yukari let out a yell before backing off away from the wheel, and she saw the monster bending down to pull apart both the door and its chair with its teeth!
"Go away! Go away, you ugly thing!" Yukari yelled as she backed away. The beast leaned down to see its meal, and forced his head in to try and get to the morsel. It was still too bulky, not being able to reach with his maw. The monster extended something from its mouth, which was a second mouth of sort that REALLY looked like something from the Aliens movie! Yamane-san looked in fright and disgust at seeing such an ability on the small kaiju. After a few times of trying to get to its prey but failing, Destroyah started to tip the car over!
Yukari yelled loudly as she was jostled about by the vehicle tipping on its top, then the mini-Destroyah did it again to tip the car back on its wheels! It was trying to disorient the human, to make her dizzy and hurt enough to be easy to get to. However, he saw that his plan was not working… so it decided to just deliver death to the human with its spray! Golden sparks started to crackle and race over its head, Yukari ducking her head knowing its deadly breath was going to be unleashed. Indeed, the foul beast unleashed its potent weapon at the car! Sparks flew as the micro-oxygen penetrated through the metal and did damage, but it was enough to keep the reporter safe from its lethal effects!
Miss Yamane kept her head down and curled up to avoid the blast, and after a few moments she looked up and around… and saw the car was split in half from the beam! It was truly a miracle on how she was able to escape being damaged from such a powerful spray! She also looked to see that Destroyah was still there, and that his prey was quite vulnerable as its protection was gone. He shrieked again as he scuttled over to try and get to his meal. Yukari tried to scoot further in, but there was nowhere else to go and that she was cornered. The mini-Destroyah extended its maw again to try and get to his prey, and Yukari believed that it was now the end for her.
She said to herself, "At least I helped the others in showing that Godzilla and the other monsters were more than most thought. I have no regrets now…". Just before the monster could grab her with his teeth, a set of strong hands pulled Yukari from the other side of the totaled car and pulled her out! She looked up in surprise and saw that it was Kensaku!
"Come on, Yukari! We got to go!", he exclaimed as he pulled her out and up from the damaged vehicle. The Destroyah screeched upon seeing his prey escaping with another, going right through the car, splitting it in half as he gave chase! The doctor of science and the reporter retreated back a bit, then Kensaku pulled Yukari in another direction as they fled. Even though the monster gave chase, the humans' salvation came in the form of several JSDF soldiers who ran in with their flamethrowers! They turned them on and unleashed fiery Hell on the mutated monster!
The mini-kaiju shrieked in pain and agony as he was set on fire, its body trying to resist the flames but with no luck. Kensaku said to himself and Yukari whom he was holding close, "I was right! They are vulnerable to extreme temperatures!". More JSDF soldiers came to aid their comrades… but two others came to save theirs as well!
Two mini-Destroyahs erupted from the ground, scattering the JSDF soldiers and forcing them to halt their attack! The badly burned monster looked to see his 'brothers' returning to help him, the duo leading him down to the hole they made. The human soldiers were too stunned by the sudden eruption from underneath them to stop the monsters, as they retreated back down to the earth. Kensaku and Yukari watched as the trio vanished, one seriously injured and burned badly. It would take time for both monsters and human troops to recover from the battle.
Kensaku looked to Yukari and asked if she was alright. She replied, "I'm fine. Probably need to get to a doctor, but I'm already with one.". Kensaku cracked a little smile at her small joke, but soon turned serious as he saw the cuts and burn marks on her. She would require medical attention from a doctor of health.
The one thing on their minds was that it was not over, as five extremely dangerous creatures were still on the loose in Tokyo, and it seemed that not even the JSDF would be able to stop them! Dr. Ijuin knew that he had to come up with a solution in order to put these mutations down once and for all.
~Underground~
The Destroyahs were now scuttling underneath the earth, getting to a safe location away from the tough prey that had really given them a fight. While most were slightly injured, the one that got burned badly would take some hours to heal. The pack continued to burrow into the dirt, looking for a safe place to heal and rest. The one who got burned badly was the alpha; the brains and leader of the group. He felt that their current form was not suitable enough, so that they needed to grow to become stronger, less vulnerable to their prey. Their healing ability was impressive, but their true strength laid in adapting. They could evolve and change quickly to suit their needs, but the damage they sustained would still be there via scars. And also they would still be vulnerable to extreme elements like ice and fire.
As they continued to burrow, one of the monsters paused and sensed something… something that made its whole body tingle in a way that made it curious. He wanted to see what was making his being tingle in such a way, but right now his first priority was to aid the alpha until he completely recovered. So they all continued to burrow, but the curious one made sure to remember the location where the sensation was coming at for later.
~In the Disney & Heaven realm~
All of those that saw in the other universe, and in the realm that could see in ALL multiple universes and dimensions, shock was the chief emotion running through most of the beings who witnessed first-hand the power of the Aggregate-form Destroyahs. Of course, they varied. Villains such as Hades and those similar to him who craved death, destruction and chaos of the bad kind were all very excited upon seeing the mayhem the monster brought to the armed and special forces of Japan. The Greek Lord of the Dead exclaimed, "OOOH, BABY! Now that is what I'm talking about! That little guy is something else, and if he grows bigger… oh, yeah! It's going to be epic! Better than any one of Jerk-ules's matches!".
The heroes and heroines on the side of Good scowled at Hades, but they all agreed on one thing. Pocahontas spoke out, "That is no mere monster… it is a demon, a spirit of complete destruction and death.". She had stated what was on everyone's mind, and they agreed. Destroyah was truly something to be cautious of, even Hercules doubted that he would last that long against the beast if he was alive. He would have his demi-god strength, spirit and tenacity that made him world-famous as a hero in the Disney universe. But Destroyah… this monster was in a class of its own, far above even Hades' top team monsters due to it having the abilities of the Oxygen Destroyer.
Jesus Christ continued to look down at the mortal realm, both in the Disney and Toho universe. He said, "Now is the time for the faith to be tested…".
In the Disney universe, those that saw the mutated beasts' attacks had come to see them more as demons than monsters. With their looks, ferocity and also intelligence on how they just disintegrated humans with their spray, the mini-Destroyah's were most likely denizens of the pits of Hell! Mothers hid their children in their bosoms from seeing such gruesome attacks and deaths, and even strong men of will and physical strength flinched at hearing their shrieks and/or seeing them just plow through the humans like bowling pins.
King Oliver and the royals were stunned at seeing the raw power of the new players in the Toho realm, and the one thought on their minds was now crystal clear. Each of the members thought, 'That cements it! When the rescue is successful on the ladies end in that other universe… we are bringing ALL of them back home!'.
It was the same situation in Atlantica, King Triton and Queen Sonia also thinking what the royals on the surface had just stated in their minds and hearts. Ariel's sisters and their husbands & families were also shocked to see the mini-Destroyahs, especially when they saw how they resembled crustaceans.
Alana saw the blue crab Barbossa shaking slightly and in concern for the musical successor to Sebastian asked, "Barbossa, are you okay?".
The Jamaican crab exploded and exclaimed, "NO! No, I'm not okay milady! That… that… THING brings shame to all us crustaceans! This Destroyah be nothing but a demon, not just a monster! I'm glad that my mentor Sebastian not be here to see this beast that makes all of us crustaceans look so bad!". Many that were in Barbossa's animal class agreed with him, though very few actually wanted to become like Destroyah but only for intimidation purposes as to scare those that wanted to eat them. And one or two… well, they wanted to become like the mutated monster so they could rule the seas.
Alana moved back a little from the crab's outburst, but saw her friend shaking from the rage he let out. The merwoman gently picked up the musical genius, petting his shell and saying that it was okay to vent. Truly, Barbossa did not mean to yell at the royal mer-beauty, but he was just outraged to see such a monster-demon that had characteristics of his kind.
Adella called out, "Hey everyone! Look! The magic portal is moving forward a bit in time to see on what is happening now with Alice and the others!". Barbossa sniffed a little, thanking Alana for her kind words and touch. The merwoman smiled, saying that it was nothing. She swam closer to the center of the palace where the portal was plating, and indeed everyone under and above the sea were now watching what was occurring in the Toho universe!
~In the Toho realm~
While the monsters and the JSDF forces, and other humans that were caught in the crossfire were recovering with the passage of time, a certain part of the Disney Rescue Team (DRT) were waking up in their hotel suite. Alice, Miki, Arisu, Regina, Rosetta, Fawn, Iridessa, and Zarina were waking up at 12:45 a.m. Two or so hours had passed since the Special Forces had encountered the mini-Destroyahs. The ladies had gotten a good enough sleep in the afternoon, and were now waking up fresh and good. Miki stretched as she rose up from the living room couch and stated, "Okay ladies, time to get dressed!".
They all nodded and left to go change, taking about fifteen minutes or so as they all emerged wearing black uniforms. Captain Chris had told them it was going to be a covert operation, so black articles that could make them blend in more with the darkness was a must. Luckily, Miki and her friend Nobuko earlier this week had gotten clothes for the fairies and mice that were black. Zarina flew to her fellow pixies and the mice, handing them some small backpacks. Arisu had gotten to a toy store earlier, and was able to buy a lot of small accessory backpacks only, which had gotten a strange look from the clerk who ringed up the items.
She said, "Okay, here we go! I managed to put small charms on these packs so they can carry what we need. It's only going to last for five hours, so we better make it count.". Zarina had not only delved into magical mixings in alchemy, but also studied more about magic with Fairy Godmother Cateline and others like her. She took her magical training very seriously, be in alchemy or more. The former pirate fairy had used a special dust mixture, along with a bit of her own pixie dust, to allow the containers to hold a GREAT deal amount of times than their size on the outside would suggest. It was similar to Cateline's special pocket dimensional bags, but it had a time limit and even the bags could only carry so much.
Alice had put her special Wonderland Potion in her pocket, smiling a bit that even though it was not made in the realm where she visited as a young girl, to her it still had a reference to the zany world that almost drove her crazy. Regina was putting on her special magical necklace, ready to use it when the time was right.
Zarina put into each pack that she and her small comrades were wearing two Sticky Bombs and one Mini- Bomb. After putting two Mini-Bombs and the remaining last Sticky Bomb in her pack, she gave remaining four explosive bombs to Miki. The Alchemist-talented fairy spoke, "I am entrusting you with these, Miss Saegusa. Do not use them unless absolutely necessary. Understand?". The psychic beauty nodded her head, putting the bombs in her pocket where they would be kept safe until needed.
At about 1:05 a.m., the door knocked and Arisu opened it to show that Joseph, Daimon, Anthony and Chris were there and in full Black Op-like gear. The guys looked to the ladies, glad to see that they were all set. Daimon looked to Miki and stated, "Wow, Saegusa-chan… you look good in black!". The young woman blushed a little, looking down a bit shy from the compliment but appreciating it. Earlier, when they were informed that Miki was joining them, they were a bit hesitant due to her connection to G-Force. However, she had promised on her own honor and life that she would do everything in her power to aid them. And even though her psychic powers were fading, she was still willing to go. And that showed courage and conviction, which they all respected.
And thus, Miki was allowed on the mission!
Chris stated, "Okay everyone, the van I managed to get from G-Force is outside. Luckily, there was still a bit of chaos there when I managed to get one legally. So hopefully, no one will notice that it is gone and out on a crazy rescue mission.". This was very good, because if a van was taken by illegal means, it would raise questions and suspicions & that was something they could not afford. The van he managed to get was from G-Force, but luckily did not have the logo insignia anywhere on it. It was just a black, ordinary van… that held C-4 blocks and rifles!
Anthony spoke up, "Before we do this, let us pray and ask God to help us with this rescue.". All agreed on this, and the humans and mice knelt down together in a group to pray to the High One above. The pixies joined in too; though they had their other deities, they respected the humans' culture and indeed saw that it was a good idea now to ask for guidance and luck from above.
It was Joseph that started out as he prayed, "Lord, Father God in Heaven. Please bless us with your strength and might as we head out into enemy territory to rescue our friends! Lend us your wisdom, grace, courage and conviction on this mission we are going on. Thank you Jesus for gathering all of us here together not just as friends… but as comrades! As warriors of Good that fight against Evil, as we are facing a terrible one this night! We ask you to send your angels to guide us as we go, and that we are victorious against the enemy as we save our friends! In your name Jesus… amen!". The group all said AMEN after that, all now filled with something that was more than mere determination and drive right now!
When one goes forth in prayer, amazing things happened! And none was more amazing then humans, mice and fairies gathered together to take the fight against something that most declared would be suicide!
Alice looked at everyone and said, "All right than… LET'S GO!".
The rescue mission as now on!
~At the headquarters of the Crimson Katana~
While the heroes and heroines were going down the hotel to start the mission, the other Disney ladies were not doing so well at the moment. The humans and magical beings that were being held down by Lady Momoko and her henchmen had gotten bathroom breaks and such when need be… but always under HEAVY guard from female employees with weapons and making sure that neither being with magical abilities would try anything funny. Also, Tinkerbell and her companions had been subjected to some really painful experiments!
While not lethal or agonizing as one may think, it was still a near-traumatic experience for the tiny women. They had been pinned down to a table like one would a butterfly, but their wings were pinned down with objects rather than sharp, pointy nails or staples. Momoko had told them to NOT seriously damage the magical beings… or they would answer to her, and the scientists shivered at the mere thought of what their boss would do to them if they disobeyed.
Many men and women in lab coats poked and prodded them with instruments, took notes on their physical size, took samples of both their blood and pixie dust! They took the blood sample with a very small but sharp needle in a small syringe that was meant to give shots to infants. They only took a tiny amount of blood from Tinkerbell, Vidia and Silvermist, but it was painful for the pixies and also they felt a bit violated from the shots and also from them taking their dust. They only used a scalpel to take some of the magical dust, not hitting them or anything, but the tiny beings still felt violated when something precious to them was taken from them without their permission.
After the experiments, with blood samples and notes stored in cases and the data in files on the main computer drive, the fairies were returned back to the others but back in their jars.
Currently, all were asleep and were once again in the Dream Realm. They were going over plans on how to counter Momoko when she would come to use the machine on them again… but this time, they would be ready for her!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! I really hope you all enjoyed it! I had a bit of a time to write this chapter down, but it was well worth it! And also struggled a bit with the math concerning Zarina's thirty little devices… and math is NOT my best subject.
Before anything else, I want to give praise and glory to God & Jesus Christ! Thank you Lord for everything helping me out, and also thank you for looking after my nephew who is now home with his family safe, sound and healthy! Thank you Jesus for everything in aiding me not only with this story, but with life as well!
If any of you have seen the movie Godzilla vs. Destroyah, you will notice that the action sequences are similar. I did tweak it up slightly, such as putting the Tokyo Opera City Tower as the place where the mini-Destroyahs were at. I saw it was a warehouse after replaying the movie, but I felt that a landmark back then in 1996 was more appropriate for this story. I just really hope that I made this chapter worthy for both hardcore Toho and Disney fans. The mutated life-form is going to show on WHY he is the deadliest of enemies to Godzilla in the Toho universe!
In the next chapter, get ready to see some rescue sequences that are really like from the movie and television series from the 80s and 90s! Also, prepare to see some crazy action… and a showdown between Good and Evil that I hope is epic enough for you to want to see more! I am close to hitting the 400 review mark, which to me makes my jaw drop! I really had no idea my third and final novel would be this popular! Again, all thanks to Jesus that I even made it this far!
Now, here are the questions:
If you were in the meeting with the royalty, what would your decision be in either bringing the ladies back home to the Disney universe or allowing them to stay? Who would you comment on most; Alice, Melody, Regina, Tracy, Ariel, Cinderella, Rapunzel, the pixies, the mice, Fairy Godmother Cateline, Lady Benedtika, Anna or Elsa on how they would feel on coming back home to escape Godzilla's meltdown?
If you were in the JSDF special forces that answered the call to battle against Aggregate-form Destroyah, what kind of weapons would you take?
After seeing what the monsters could do with their bodies and spray, would you stay & fight or fall back (retreat)?
After seeing the capabilities of the monsters in the Disney universe, what would your thoughts be?
What words would you add in after Joseph's prayer?
After hearing about how Tinkerbell and her friends were subjected to the experiments, what would you want to do to the scientists that did test them?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!)
