He had not gotten as far as he had hoped before the US Military had caught up with him, the National Guard had taken up reins of the situation, and the Military itself was in the process of getting involved. Even with all his absorbed knowledge, he still didn't quite understand the predicament he was about to face. He looked at the Approaching Helicopters, Apaches, which were attaining a Heat-Seeking Lock.
He quickly darted forward as the Missiles launched, tracking him, he dove into a Wooded area between the Commercial area and the more densely populated area of the city. He pushed through the trees easily, and he bit down at one of them, then pulled at it. He uprooted the tree, and tossed it at one of the approaching land vehicles. It landed on the road, and the Armored Truck hit the tree and wrecked itself. He watched the scene, and that's when he felt the pain. The Helicopters began firing their front cannons at him, and these were much more powerful than the weapons he faced previously. Every hit drew blood, and he ran onto a nearby road.
The Helicopters did not stop, even as he crossed into the Civilian-Filled Area.
"Hold your fire, GOJIRA is entering a Civie Area." One of the pilots said.
"Negative, orders are to stop Gojira at all costs." The Commander said.
"But Sir, there's civilians down here!" The Pilot responded.
"If we don't stop it, far more will die, this is the only way." The Commander answered, "It's an order, follow it."
The Pilot gulped, before responding with a Yes sir and firing at Gojira. The Civilians, watching the Rampaging monster with Awe and Horror, had to duck to avoid the gunfire coming from the Choppers. Gojira ran, straight through a Small Clothes Store, he jumped onto the roof and ran across it, the roof crumbled under his weight and he jumped off it as the building collapsed, The Choppers now began to fire off their rocket pods, however, Gojira was able to avoid them and they smashed into a Shopping center, blowing it wide open.
"We're causing as much damage as this thing." The Pilot said, Gojira stepped over a Car, the thing exploded, and the Monster stopped. Gojira turned, digging its foot into the ground as it stared at him, the Helicopters took the chance to fire their missiles, and this time Gojira was hit. Before he could unleash his firebreath the missiles struck, digging into him and exploding, his scales burst open and he roared, blood among the air leaving his mouth. The Monster fell to the ground, blood en mass spreading in a Pool around it.
The IFVS and military vehicles caught up with it finally, and as they stepped out many just stared at the down creature, scientists and professionals quickly stepped up to inspect the beast. Some Civilians, watching from a distance, also stopped to look at the dead 35-Foot Tall Monster. One of the soldiers, stepping up to its face, touched it. The Scales were hard, as if made of steel, they felt less like Flesh and more of Solid Material. He stepped back, he couldn't sense much of a heartbeat.
"It's dead, I think." A Scientist said, "Good thing too, it was getting awfully close to the city center."
The Soldier nodded, before returning to the vehicle.
"We need to study this thing, do you guys have the equipment?" One of the scientists asked, and the soldier nodded. Soon a number of instruments, such as Blood testing stations and Military-Grade Scanners were brought out.
A Scientists noticed a Ticking Noise. Confused, he looked for the source, and he found it. It was a Geiger Counter, and the ticking was the radiation level, which was soaring.
"Why is this thing giving off radiation?" The Scientist asked.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, like a Distant, Constant Thunder, it also sounded like a Crunch. It was coming from Gojira.
The Scales of him grew fuzzy, and he saw the Dark Gray Fuzz engulf its Massive Wound.
"It's Changing!" The Scientist exclaimed, he backed away, as did everyone Else, there was a Surge and Splatter of Blood as the Spikes Suddenly Jutted Upwards, going from Tiny Dorsal Spines to Larger Plate-Like Spines, which were curved forward on the largest ones, Just Forward of his Midsection. He saw the creature begin to grow, going from 35 Feet to 50 Feet Tall in just a few seconds. They all ran back to their vehicles as the Changing stopped, and watched, with a mixture of Awe and Horror, as the Monster rose onto its legs.
"So, Dr Serizawa." General Packard Started speaking, Serizawa remained silent, his gaze dark, studying his feet. "What was your plan, what did we pay for? I know it was a Bio-Weapon, but would it have been controllable?"
"Eventually." Serizawa said, he stepped on an Ant, which, of course, just kept moving across the carpet. "It was supposed to be deployed near Military bases of the Enemy, mutate random animals and cause them to wreak Havoc behind enemy lines. There was a Plan, eventually, to create weapons that could be directly controlled, but that wasn't estimated to be ready for another 8 Years." He said.
"So….A Decade long project to produce all that, and what we got was a Nightmare." Packard said, he turned his laptop to him, showing him the Trending headlines on Sites like Instagram, Youtube, X, Ect. It was filled with stuff like 'Power out in Oklahoma City as Monster rampages through it' and 'Dinosaur Disaster in Oklahoma' and 'IT IS HERE'.
"This is already both a Disaster literally and figuratively, over 35 People are KIA already with another 20 Missing, and the Reactions from people across the country, no, the world? We're a Joke, someone already leaked the creatures name and now 'Gojira' is trending on X." Packard sighed.
Suddenly, Packard focused on his laptop, and turned it around again.
"There's 2 more of them, in Boca Chica and Komodo island."
Packard turned the laptop and showed him images of the new creature and its path.
It wasn't Komodo Island itself of course, the Monster had already made its way through the water from there. It had swam quite a bit, before making its way to a Small Military base. It had engaged the Indonesian Military there, which, luckily for it, wasn't too armed. It had evolved very similarly to the One in Oklahoma, gotten bigger and gone somewhat bipedal, although it was still more quadrupedal in structure.
It also had a name, 'Komodithrax', Which was displayed in the Information about the creature
"It looks like it-" He started, before he was interrupted by General Packard.
"She, We've Identified Komodithrax as She' Packard said, "We've Identified Gojira as a Male too."
"How'd you-" He began, before shaking his head. "Whatever the case, It looks like She is avoiding populated areas so I would worry less about her."
"Why is Gojira going through populated areas then?" Packard asked.
"No Idea, perhaps he is heading to the sea…where's the Other Monster again?" He asked.
"Komodithrax is in Indonesia." Packard said.
"No, No, You mentioned another one." Serizawa said.
"Oh yes, one was spawned from the Boca Chica Facility in Southern Texas. It is currently tracking into The Northern Mexican Coastline." Packard said, "It hasn't really damaged anything though." He showed Serizawa the pics, and from Serizawa could see it was literally just a Giant Turtle, it was also already named 'Kamoebas', it seems like it wanted to get away from populated areas.
"Looks like they spawned in less populated areas ... .I'd guess Gojira would have just done the same, but Goji spawned in a More populated area, and he's just going the shortest route." Serizawa said.
The Pain of the change subsided, and he stepped onto his feet. He could feel his weight and height now, but felt so energetic now. He was nearly 65 feet tall, his Dorsal Spines adding a small bit to that. He looked at the Small Vehicles in front of him, and in anger he let loose flammable gas, this time in much greater quantity. As they drove away, he ignited it, and he watched as they were destroyed in the flames. He saw the civilians watching on the sidelines. He didn't feel anything towards them, he hadn't fully acquired empathy yet, but he was slowly evolving emotions.
Suddenly, he felt a rapid prodding on his sides, he saw that the Apaches had begun firing on him, and with anger he rushed towards them. He grabbed one, the blades of its rotor hit his hands, shattered themselves as he crushed it, he turned towards the other apache as it began raining fire on him with its missiles, it stopped when they deflected off him and hit nearby buildings. He quickly rushed towards it, breathing a Beam of Fire at the Chopper, it quickly spiraled down and hit a nearby Restaurant, destroying both.
He continued his journey south until finally, a few minutes later, he reached Oklahoma's city center. Then he felt another pain, this one was from the ground, he looked to see several tanks and Mobile Artillery pieces nearby, each one firing at him. With anger, he stomped his foot deep into the ground, and he felt the heat building up this time again.
But this time was different, the pain and heat vanished immediately, he could still feel the heat but it wasn't painful. Call it a sensation that the heat buildup was still there, as the heat built up now in his Spines. A Faint, Red Glow began to emanate as a Whirring Noise sounded from within him. The Tanks stopped shooting, the soldiers confused, scared. The Red Glow built up, and then a Bright light began to flash from his tail to his head through his spines, over and over again, and each time it went through his spines the red glow got brighter until finally it was now lighting up his surroundings, and then he let it loose.
This time, it was not a Beam of 'Fire' but a Beam of Light, Radiation, and Heat. A Red Laser-like Beam shot from his mouth, it made contact with the tanks, and they quickly sagged and melted, as did the road beneath him. He swept it slowly over the tanks, some soldiers in the tanks either got out or tried to drive away, it was no use. He made sure those who hurt him suffered as he swept the beam over them too, they melted into distorted bones quickly, and he now swept the beam over the nearby skyscrapers, melting through the structures, sweeping over them, one of them quickly collapsed and the others were at least doomed to meet the fate eventually, he kept the beam up for nearly 30 seconds after, sweeping over the artillery pieces on a nearby road, melting them too.
He finally ceased the beam and transitioned to flammable gas, which he expelled in greater numbers. He kept it going for a while until igniting it, causing an explosion in the streets of several city blocks. He looked at the devastation, several offices were collapsing, and he turned away, content in his victory.
Then he felt more impacts on his body. He turned to see the helicopters approaching him again, and with an angry roar he ran straight at it. He quickly closed the distance and reignited his Red Beam, which cut through several. The Flames of which either exploded midair or fell to the ground like a fireball. He saw one remaining, and with anger he ran to it and closed his mouth around the hull of the front, chomping down on it and eating it, he let the rear fuselage fall away and explode, he swallowed the front of the helicopter and suddenly felt the influx of knowledge. Memories, military tactics, and other things. As he felt himself grow even stronger, he suddenly realized another memory was of the battle against him, and it even appeared they had a name for him.
Gojira
Gojira? Hmm, he liked that name.
