Kaiju Fighters Ch. 12
On a nice warm afternoon in Osaka, people are walking in and out of a large train station minding their own business. Only looking up as three unusual passengers get off a train from Tokyo. A tall well fit man wearing a leather coat, a short one in a brown spiked vest with a horn coming from his nose, and an elder man wearing a brown and tan gi.
The spiked one stretches, "Y'know, back in the old world we probably could've gotten here a lot faster. Right, Gojira?" and looks over to the one in the leather coat.
"We probably could have, Anguirus," Gojira agrees with his oldest friend. "But it was interesting to ride in a train instead of trying to eat It," a memory flashes in his mind of his predecessor. A giant dinosaur with a train in its mouth and soon he shakes the memory out of his mind.
"You might have thought it was neat, but that conductor guy kept yelling at me."
That is when the elder speaks, "Only because your spikes were tearing up the seat."
"You act like it's my fault, Caesar. You know I can't control it."
"You should try meditating, it might help."
"Ha! As if. I wouldn't be caught dead doing that stuff."
The shisha just shrugs, "Suit yourself."
Gojira gathers their attention, "Let's get down to business."
"Right! Mosura said that there has been some activity here for quite a while now," King Caesar says going through his memory. "And that we should investigate."
"You're kidding, right?" Anguirus tells him. "How are we supposed to find anything in a whole city?"
"We could ask around," Gojira suggests.
"Do you really think humans would give us directions?"
"It's either that or we walk all over the city until we catch a scent."
"Or?" Caesar catches their attention. "We could check the paper." he grabs a paper from a stand they were passing by and hands the man next to it some money who is staring at the trio. "Look right here 'the mysterious turtle man sighted once again rescuing a child from an oncoming car.' Doesn't that sound like a possible kaiju?" and holds up the paper that shows a blurred picture of something that vaguely looks like a shell on its back.
"Wow!" Anguirus says, "This job is easier than I thought."
"Not quite," Gojira tells him. "We still don't know who it is or if he would be on our side."
"Then what do we do know?"
"I suggest we stick with plan A." Caesar walks back to the man next to the stand. "Excuse me sir, if I may trouble you for a moment?"
.oOo.
Well in the afternoon, Asagi was left to watch over the diner by herself. She is finishing cleaning off the tables when she hears the bell chime to let her know that someone has just walked in.
"Welcome!" she greets the customer without turning to see who it is out of habit. "You can go on ahead and look at the menu. I'll be there in a moment to take your orders."
"Oh, don't worry about that," a woman's voice says. Followed by another woman's voice.
"We already know what we want."
Asagi drops the plates she was carrying as soon as she turns around. Looking at the two women in front of her and instatnly knew they were not human. One of them had red eyes and black hair with a red stripe on the front. This woman wears a red hoodie, a pair of jeans, and some sneakers. What makes her stand out are the pair of red wings, sharp claws, and large fangs. The other one looks the same except, instead of wearing a red hoodie it is white. Her hair is white with a black stripe on the front, her eyes are still red in color. She too has wings, but these ones are white in color.
Asagi takes a couple steps back as she says under her breath, "Gyaos!"
The red one turns to the white one, "This one knows who we are, sister," as she stares at the human with the intension of satisfying its hunger.
"So, she does," the pale one notices the charm around Asagi's neck. "That's the symbol of the Guardian. I wonder if she's from the old world?"
"Should we ask, or should we eat?" the red one bares her fangs, hoping for the former. At this moment Asagi wraps her hand around the charm.
"Hmm. I say, we eat," as both Gyaos advance to their unlucky meal, the bell chimes again.
Anguirus strolls in for lunch, "Hey! You guys wouldn't happen to have some…" only to find two winged women about to attack a human. "…food?"
The red Gyaos turns to charge at the spiked kaiju. He just swings his fist into the oncoming threat's face. As he stands there chuckling, the other one grabs him and just as she is about to sink her teeth into him, the assailant gets struck by a strange blue energy.
Gojira and King Caesar have just walked in to grab their friend to continue their mission. Only to see that he has found trouble.
Caesar glances at the ankylosaur "I guess your stomach has come in handy," then looks over to see Asagi standing there. "Ma'am, if I may suggest you hide in the kitchen? This may get messy." Asagi nods her head and slowly works her way through the door into the kitchen, peeking through the window to see what is going to happen.
King Caesar turns his attention back to the winged women. "I don't recognize you two from back home. Who are you?"
"We are the Gyaos," the pale one answers. "The perfect life forms created by the Atlanteans millions of years ago."
Gojira steps in, "Doesn't ring a bell," cracking his knuckles. "As far as I can tell you are a threat that needs to be stopped."
The Gyaos immediately charge up their sonic rays to cut through the trio. When they release their attack, Caesar jumps in front of his comrades to absorb the rays and shoot it back at them, cutting off a hand from the red one.
"Sister!" the pale one flies to her sister out of instinct, grabs her, and flies out through the roof.
"Well," Anguirus grunts. "That was easy."
The Gojirasaur looks at him, "You didn't do anything."
"Actually, I was the one who found them."
Caesar interrupts this squabble "My friends! If you have forgotten, we are not alone," he gestures towards the kitchen door as Asagi walks out.
"Hello." she bows. "I am Asagi Kusanagi. You have saved my life and I am great full."
"A pleasure to meet you," Caesar bows in return. "I am King Caesar, and this is my student Gojira and his friend Anguirus."
Asagi looks them over and can tell that they were not human. "I've never seen kaiju like you before, even back home."
Gojira tilts his head and asks, "You're not from this world either?" Gojira asks.
"No, I'm not. I have heard rumors about other kaiju being here, but I didn't think there was any good ones other than Gamera."
"Who?" Gojira asks just before something crashes through the window and tackles him. He gets a good look at his attacker and knew it is the turtle man.
"Gamera!" Asagi exclaims seeing her friend starting a fight.
Gojira retaliates by punching the turtle in the chest. Gamera is thrown back but the hit barely fazed him.
As this is going on the two other kaiju and the human stand on the sidelines with first row seats to the fight.
Caesar tells Asagi, "It appears your friend and my student have a misunderstanding."
"Yeah. Shouldn't we do something?" Asagi fears this could in badly.
Anguirus tells the human in assurance, "Nah! Gojira can end this fight in no time."
"I don't know about that, Anguirus," the shisha watches the two fight carefully. "The aura of this Gamera is different from Gojira's. However, at the same time they are also similar. If anything, I'd say they're near match."
Anguirus looks at him then back at the fight, clueless to what Caesar is even talking about.
Asagi was not sure what she should do. "Oh, um, is there anything I can get you?"
"Some warm tea would be lovely," Caesar tells her.
An Anguirus asks, "You have any beer?"
"I'll see what I can find," and Asagi walks back into the kitchen.
Back at the fight, both combatants have scrapes and bruises.
Gamera glares at his unknown foe. "Why did you attack Asagi!?" he asks before shooting a fireball at Gojira, aiming for the chest. Gojira barely manages to dodge it with only his jacket to get singed.
Gojira's hands start glowing, "I didn't attack her!" and releases an atomic blast from his hand. As the blast hits Gamera, it throws him across the cafe and onto the floor. As he is about to get up, Gojira grabs a broken leg from one of the tables and swings it at the fallen turtle.
In reaction, Gamera swings his arm to block the attack. As he does a long blade grows out of his arm and cuts the weapon in half.
"That's new!" was all that he could say staring before he used his other arm to upper cut Gojira. Gamera runs towards his opponent to strike with his blade. Before he, could a strange old man steps between them and catches the blade between his index finger and thumb.
The Caesar takes a sip of tea in his other hand. "Let's calm down and talk."
NOTE: Here's the start of a team up. I love team ups. You never know how things would turn out.
