He looked at the city, now sitting closer. A Raised highway stood nearby, and thanks to his enhanced vision he could sense all the cars on the road even while concealed in the woods, he could sense the set of houses behind the highway and even people going about their chores between him and the sea, which he could also sense despite it being hundreds of miles away. He wanted to get there, but he could already hear the approaching helicopters. These ones sounded different, faster and more powerful.
In an Instant, he darted out of the trees, crashing through them and knocking them over. He was at the Highway in an instant, Cars swerved upon the mere sight of him, it's not everyday you see a 80 Ton Prehistoric creature walking through the treeline after all. He pressed his feet into the ground, roaring at him. He stepped onto the highway, continuing to press his foot down as he grabbed a Bus with his mouth and tore it in half, then throwing it back down as he waded into the Suburbs. An Explosion went off behind him as the bus's fuel tank ruptured and Exploded, which, in the night, silhouetted him. To an onlooker, He was taller than the houses, which were only 1 and 2 stories, he was closer to 3 or 4, and most people in the nearby neighborhoods could see him. He did not care for their screams, although he didn't particularly target the homes, he didn't care when he stepped on a Car.
He didn't care when he pushed through a 2 Story either, he shoved through it quite easily. The Building didn't hold up well against the force at all and it crumbled as he went past it. He stepped on a Backyard fence quite easily, and into a wooded area between the suburbs and a commercial zone. He stepped on a Stream, displacing the water and splashing it all over the leaves of bushes, which he trampled under his weight, he came to a metal fence by the side of a road, which he stepped on quite easily.
He entered the Commercial Zone, stepping on an Old Car as he roared. The Echo of it went for miles, and everyone turned instinctively to the source. He stopped, some Police vehicles were heading towards him, and he stomped his foot into the ground as the heat began to build up in his back. He let loose the flames, the streak of fire stretching across the streets, igniting bushes and trees and greenery on the side of the road. Breaking into a sprint, he reached the police cars in seconds, stepping on them and feeling the heat as they both exploded, jumping off and landing nearby. He landed on the top of a building whose roof began to collapse under his weight, and he jumped off as the building fell apart.
He heard the noises of the helicopters getting closer, and as he looked he saw the distant lights that symbolized their approach. He roared, before running further south towards the city, Running over a Fast-Food Establishment which suffered structural damage from him, stomping on a Number of Cars, which exploded beneath the 50-Ton Plus weight of him. His Path was traceable even in the night, as it was marked by rising flames. He looked around him, spotting another wave of Police Cars. He felt fire in his gut, and he bent down and opened his mouth. He let out a Roar as heat built up in his back.
'
This time, the fire was different, it started as Flammable gas, which he expelled swiftly and quickly coated the nearby ground like Fog, spreading for about 400 feet in front of him. Then, he ignited it, A Nearby Cafe was engulfed in flames from the explosion, and then about a Dozen Secondary Explosions from the surprisingly empty parking lots occupants exploded. He closed his mouth, smoke billowing out from it as he looked in front of him. The Police cars had stopped, among them was a SWAT Team deploying both Swat Members and members of the National Guard, one bringing out a Rocket Launcher. The Resulting RPG Round struck his side, and he roared angrily as pain laced through him.
He began the process again, but put more power into it. This time a Lot of that Gas came out of his mouth, spreading to about 850 Feet around him, completely covering the Officers and National Guardsmen, he then promptly ignited it, the ensuing explosion would obliterate them, and he could see the damage caused. A Row of shops and establishments blown open, parked vehicles destroyed and fire spreading fast through the greenery on the side of the road. He roared in victory, remembering again the choppers were approaching, they were almost in range now, and as he ran towards the city again, this time noticing another nearby structure that thanks to his increased knowledge he could recognize.
Power lines.
With a Roar he grabbed then, pain engulfed him as the electricity coursed through him, and with a swift jerk he pulled the high tension wires down, the wires snapping and he grabbed a nearby Pole Structure and used his fire to burn it. He watched as the Distant and nearby lights of the city flickered off.
"We've lost power in the Oklahoma city area, sir." One of the officers said.
"I'll guess the thing destroyed the lines, how about our guys?" Packard said, they were still in the Soon-to-be-defunct Project Mutagen HQ, with . He had been keeping up with the effort over the past hour to contain the creature, which they had effectively named 'Gojira'. It was a suggestion from Serizawa, some of his family was descended from Odo Island in Japan, and there was a Legend of a 'Lizard God Meant to bring about the Judgement and Truth of Mankind' that was named 'Gojira' affectionately, given Gojira was less of a Mouthful they had decided to name it that, for now.
"Well, we haven't been able to get many forces there at all, respectively sir. It's a Urban Environment, and getting troops there takes time, time we don't have. We have Air Forces en route, but given some reports it seems like it has developed some degree of resistance to lighter arms." The officer said, Packard quickly responded with another question.
"How about heavier arms? Missiles, Tanks, Jets, Ordinance, anything?" General Packard Asked.
"Sir, this is a US City we are talking about, nearly 1 and a Half million people live in that Metro area." The Officer told him.
But Packard didn't respond with what he expected, instead agreeing he seemed to think that the Heavier weapons needed to be deployed as well. "Well, if we don't deploy those weapons there won't be much of a city left anyway. Give them permission to use all Assets to stop the creature, barring Heavy and Nuclear Ordinance. "
The officer gulped, before giving a 'Yes Sir' and leaving Packard and Serizawa.
"Mutagen has facilities across the world." Packard sighed, and he turned to Serizawa. "Tell me Doctor, if one of those things was born from just those drops, how many can be born from other facilities?" Packard asked, Serizawa didn't make eye contact, and just looked at his shoes.
"I've already asked, and there has been some degree of leakage at all of our facilities." Serizawa said, "Komodo island, Boca Chica, Japan, Svalbard…..Japan's facility was located near a Water supply too, there is going to be a Lot of things like that popping up, probably."
"Great, damn great." Packard said, "Aren't there Komodo Dragons on Komodo Island, does that mean there are gonna be giant Komodo Dragons Running around? Spacefaring Turtles from Boca Chica? Who knows what from Japan? Tell me doctor, what have you done?" Packard said, grabbing Serizawa and shaking him.
Serizawa did not respond, he didn't want this, he had made a grave mistake, he realized that now, he had created a Monster seeking fame, glory, trying to safeguard the future for grandchildren and in the process potentially killing hundreds of people.
He was the Monster.
