Kaiju Fighters Ch. 28
Now standing outside of the building Orga, Obsidius, and Crustaceous are devising a plan.
"So, what are we going to do?" Crustaceous asks.
"Simple," Orga turns to him with a sinister smile. "We go in with an offer and then kill them when they turn it down."
"There was a human with them," Obsidius told them. "There could be more. I know that you despise their species, but I have no qualm against them."
"And I prefer not to fight Zilla," C-Rex casually tells them. "We may not be best bros. but I have respect for him. Plus, that Godzilla guy really scares me," he rubs the back of his head as he wore a sheepish smile.
Orga's eye twitches as he lets out a low growl. "Then, how's this? We draw out the kaiju," he gestures to Obsidius and himself. "While you sneak in to take care of those humans," and points at Crustaceous.
The other two look at one another before nodding in agreement. Crustaceous runs off into the shadows towards the building and starts climbing. Orga and Obsidius walk out into the open just so that the inhabitants of the building can see them.
"GOJIRA!"Orga holler. "WE WISH TO SPEAK TO YOU!"
.oOo.
"What's going on?" Kimiko asks as she and Gizmo walk out of the bedroom. They see the guys looking out the window.
Zilla answers, "A couple of familiar faces." as his voice takes a serious tone. Looking out the window they see the figure of a hunched back man with a large, clawed hand and a man that looks like he has smoke coming off his body.
Slick informs them. "They say they just wanna talk."
"Nothing's wrong with that," Gizmo says.
"Except," Gojira starts. "Obsidius is the only one who can be reasoned with. Orga on the other hand is too savage and unstable."
Zilla nods in agreement, "That guy is about as untrustworthy as he is ugly."
Slick comments, "No kidding. I don't think even a mother would love that face."
Gojira starts walking towards the door, "Let's go," while dragging Zilla by the collar of his jacket.
Komi can be heard begging, "Can I come too?" from the other side of her bedroom door. "Please."
"There's only two of them." Zilla simply says. "We got this, Komi."
.oOo.
Komi looks out her bedroom window at the two kaiju that her fiancé and soon to be cousin-in-law are about to face. She is eager to get out of this small square prison.
"Tradition really stinks," she says out loud. Komi soon finds herself thinking about what the agent told her about not being a kaiju. Does the laws of our kind mean nothing now? was her last thought before being startled.
Crustaceous props himself up on the window. "Hey, beautiful!"
Out of instincts Komi throws a punch at the intruder, only for it to be dodged. C-Rex then throws a punch of his own, knocking Komi away from the window.
"Sorry about messing with your pretty face," he apologizes as he climbs through the window. "Name's Crustaceous. But you can call me Crusty."
"And I really don't care," Komi growls as she inhales readying her flames. Then Crusty spit out some black gunk that covers her mouth and nose, and thus preventing her from using her signature attack and from breathing.
"Don't worry. I'll show myself out," he then walks up to the bedroom door. Just leaving Komi, struggling to remove the gunk.
When Crustaceous slams the door open, he gives the humans a moment to process what is going on. The Kaiju quickly notes the woman in the suit's hand making its way into her jacket. Quickly making his way to the agent, the kaiju grabs her hand just as she has a hold of her pistol. Crustaceous snatched the pistol and tossed it to the other side of the room. Then, throws Kimiko at the other humans, knocking them to the floor.
"Time to take care of business." Crustaceous cracks his knuckles. Suddenly he is tackled to the floor by none other than Komi.
.oOo.
The atomic reptiles approach the mutant and alien.
Zilla glares at Orga, "You said that you want to talk?"
"We have a proposition for you," Orga speaks.
Gojira growls at them. "Why would we listen to you?"
"Because the two of us could have just barged into that building," Obsidius points out. "We instead called you out into the opening, where there would be no causalities if a fight were to break out."
"Which, I'm sure the two of you would appreciate that." Orga glares as if the lack of carnage upsets.
"Okay," Zilla agrees and Gojira just glares as well. "We'll listen. But there are no promises."
"That is all we ask," Obsidius tells them.
"Here's the thing." Orga steps in front of the magma kaiju. "We are gathering as many Kaiju as we can to create a new society for our kind."
"We…" Obsidius starts before turning to his teammate. "Or at least I felt the need to at least offer you a choice."
"Ghidorah," Gojira speaks up. "He's the one who is leading you isn't he?"
"Yes," Orga smiles as he knows a fight would break out any moment.
"Then why bother making this offer?!" Gojira snarls. "Even if I did agree. Do you really think that he would allow me to join?"
"He would," the magma kaiju points out, "if it means his worst enemy becomes his greatest ally. I'm sure King Ghidorah would accept you as a general among his ranks."
"And I suppose that this society is going to be an army," Zilla states. "An army that would suppress, or even eliminate the humans."
"Of course," Orga starts laughing. "The greatest oppressors of all kaiju are the humans. The ones that would try to hunt us down to our extinction. If we are to truly exist in peace, then they must go," the alien preaches. "A world free from the pests that are already destroying their home world. A place where we can be whoever or whatever we want. That is the future that our king envisions."
"The only future that your king envisions is one where he rules over all," Gojira takes a step closer to them. "And he would kill anyone just for the heck of it. That is a king that I will never bow down to," and removes the sunglasses revealing that his eyes turn to slits.
"I knew you would say that," Orga then leaps towards Gojira only to get kicked by Zilla.
"I hoped it would not come to this," Obsidius takes a step towards Gojira. Gojira can feel the temperature in the air rising. The glow of Obsidius' eyes intensifies as the crevices and cracks gain a glow of their own. The asphalt at his feet melts with every step and his long coat burns away. Throwing his hands forward Obsidius releases a blast of concentrated heat at his opponent.
Gojira quickly leaps out of the way. The blast missed him but hit a lamp post not far from them. Its base melts away and forces the lamp post to fall over. Knowing that the kaiju he faces can easily be reasoned with, Gojira allows himself to calm down and his eyes return to normal.
"You never cared about the humans before," the Gojiran glares at the magma kaiju. "Why bother now?" he readies two atomic blasts from his hands.
"Ever since I came to be, all I ever felt was the pain of my creation," Obsidius dodges. "Both the physical one that my body had created and the mental one of my mind."
The atomic titan charges at him and lands a right hook in the volcanic being's chest, hard enough to throw him into a nearby dumpster. Hissing in pain as the contact causes Gojira's glove to burn through to his hand.
Obsidius stands back up. "I never had a sense of purpose," his left hand clutches his chest where he was hit. "That is until Ghidorah gave me one," he takes a battle stance and lets out a roar. The heat increases even more to the point that the dumpster starts melting.
Zilla uses his advantage of speed against Orga. As the Millennian swings his claw at the irradiated iguana, Zilla keeps dodging and lands a hit or a punch whenever he can.
"Stay still you Gojira wannabe," Orga snarls as he takes another kick to the face.
"Look who's talking." Zilla ducks from another swipe of the alien's claw and comes back with an uppercut. "You're the one who took his DNA to try becoming what he is. I don't want to be Godzilla."
After taking what would be the third punch to the side of his face, Orga loses his patience and instead of swiping his right claw at Zilla, he uses his left fist to punch him in the face. The quick change of tactic puts the former lizard in a daze long enough for the alien to grab him around the waist with his claw.
Orga roared in Zilla's face before slamming him into the ground three times while saying. "I'M GOING. TO EAT. YOUR FACE!" he held his opponent back up, but Orga was so blinded by rage that he fell to notice the greenish glow appearing in Zilla's throat. Soon, the alien gets a face full of flames that causes him to lose his grip.
"How'd you like that?" Zilla asks with a prideful smile that soon drops as he notices all of Orga's third degree burns quickly disappearing, Orga then lets out a roar.
Gojira's jacket and jeans are now charred in a few places, and he discarded his gloves since they were being burnt off anyway. The Gojiran now has burn marks on his face, arms, and knuckles. Fighting an opponent created from magma makes it very difficult to beat. He must resort to using his atomic base attacks from a distance. But he will not be able to last very long. Eventually his reserves will run low and will have to rest until their built back up.
"You say that it's about finding your purpose," Gojira glares. "Yet, you're just doing whatever Ghidorah tells you."
Obsidius charges at the Gojiran. "That is the purpose that he has given me."
Instead of jumping out of the way, Gojira holds his arms out to stand his ground. Once contact was made, the two ended up locked in a contest of force. For the moment, it seems like an even match. The Alpha Kaiju starts growling with the pain now flowing through his body. His jacket is burning away, and holes are being scorched though his shirt.
"From what I understand is that you find your own purpose," Gojira's eyes are taking on its reptilian look again. "You should choose your own path," he frees one of his hands and starts punching the magma kaiju's stomach. "Not one given to you by a tyrant that only has his own ambitions," using his strength, Gojira picks up Obsidius and throws him with all the force he can muster.
Obsidius is thrown into the apartment building. Gojira then charges up a blast of atomic energy to throw at the magma kaiju. He quickly lets the power die down when he notices that the glow from Obsidius' body is fading. That usually means that he is down for the count.
The Alpha predator turns around and notices Zilla getting beaten by Orga. Moving forward, Gojira finds that he steps in melted asphalt.
Orga fires a yellow beam from his shoulder. Hitting Zilla in the chest and then charging at him to force the iguana back.
"This is the end for you," Orga says with pleasure at the sight of his opponent backed up against a wall and being defenseless. He prepares a full plasma charge. However, just before releasing his attack, Gojira jumps on him from behind and stuffed some asphalt into the barrel of the shoulder cannon. Gojira then quickly hops off just before the backfire.
When Orga gets back up, he is assaulted with punches and kicks from Gojira. The alien uses his claw to grab onto him and tosses him across the parking lot, landing on his head.
"You die now!" Orga viciously screams as he approaches the fallen kaiju. Years ago, he had stolen a small amount of Gojira's DNA to become what he is. Orga never had a chance to finish. But with his enemy down and out, he can absorb more Regenerator G1 until there's nothing left. Orga can become even stronger than Ghidorah.
The hunchback stops when Zilla steps in front of Gojira.
"Stay away from my cousin!" the former iguana commands. Zilla felt a tingling sensation in his hands as they started getting warm.
"And just what are you gonna do about it?" The alien begins charging his plasma cannon.
Out of instinct, Zilla raises his hands and then they are ignited with familiar green flames. He throws his hands forward just as Orga releases a plasma blast.
When the beams connect, energy starts building up in the middle and both kaiju are putting their all to force it towards their opponent. Soon, the iguana starts to grow tired, and the mass of energy is being brought closer to Zilla; it seemed like Orga is the one winning. But then a third blast of blue energy comes in from Zilla's side.
Standing next to Zilla, Gojira is back up with blood trickling down the side of his head. To say he is mad would be an understatement. Using his atomic blast to assist with the takedown. Both kaiju forces their strand of energy to Orga, bushing the increase mass of power to the alien, and then it explodes in his face.
Once the Fighters are sure that Orga is unconscious, Zilla drops to the ground to take a breather. Zilla's face is partially covered in bruising, if you could look under his clothes more bruises can be seen, and under that would be a couple broken ribs. Gojira probably got a worse beating given that every physical attack he delivered to Obsidius has resulted in a third-degree burn. And then there was also a slight concussion from that rough landing. But neither of them is worried for they know that with a short rest, they would be fine and eventually will regain their strengths.
Zilla reaches into his pocket to pull something out. "Gum?" he asks Gojira, who shakes his head. "Suit yourself," Zilla then puts a piece in his mouth.
"SERIOUSLY!" Kimiko's voice rang from the apartment building. Gojira did hesitate as he dashes towards the building with Zilla not far behind. Neither notice that the hole where Obsidius had landed is now empty.

Earlier
Komi had been defending her friends from Crustaceous. Strength wise, the two are about even. The former komodo's trump card would have been her atomic flame. But with the fact that some gunk was covering her mouth and nostrils made it impossible. And the fact that she cannot breathe is a problem. The only reason Komi lasted this long is because of her subaquatic heritage. But even she cannot hold her breath forever. She might last maybe another half hour without fresh air. The main problem is the fact that her body is already getting weaker from the lack of oxygen, giving her opponent an upper hand and the continued use of her energy is making things worse for her lungs.
Kimiko spots her maser and guns for it. Just as she grabs it, the Agent takes aim. However, Crusty spits out another gunk that hits her in the eyes causing Kimiko to drop her gun. "SERIOUSLY!" she shouts.
Komi takes advantage of the distraction to ram into the mutated crustacean through several walls.
Crusty then plants his feet and flips the komodo over. The crustacean lifts her as several tendrils tears through his jacket and assists on pinning Komi to the wall.
He shakes his head, "You just don't know when to quit do you?" he places a hand around her neck. "I'm told that this will be quick," at that moment, Crusty shouts in pain forcing his hands and tendrils to let go. Turning, the kaiju finds Slick pointing the maser at him.
"Oh, I've got to get me one of these!" Slick fires another round. Crustaceous Rex was about to dodge it but finds himself held in place by Komi. The blast hits him, causing him to fall to the ground. He groans as tries to stand only to have fists repeatedly slammed into him.
Once Komi is sure that her opponent is out cold, she collapses on the floor.
Slick and Gizmo rush to her and drag their friend back to the main room.
Kimiko is propping herself against the wall. "What happened?"
Slick answers, "Our green friend is taking a power nap," he and Gizmo lay Komi on the couch.
Gojira and Zilla burst through the door. As soon as Zilla sees his mate on the couch, he rushes to her side. "Komi!"
Gojira spots Kimiko struggling to make her way around the room. He goes up to her, "Here," he quietly says as the kaiju gently grabs her hand and leads her to a chair."
"Goji?" the agent asks as she is sat down. "Thank you."
Zilla looks over at his human friends. "How long has she been like this?"
Slick rubs the back of his head, "Gee, thirty, forty minutes I guess?"
"How active was she?" he runs a hand through his mate's hair as she now finds it hard keeping her eyes open.
Gizmo fiddles with her thumbs. "She was fighting that Crusty guy the whole time."
"Her body used up most of its oxygen," Zilla starts to pick at the gunk which has hardened. "We need to get this stuff off her before she suffocates!"
A new voice enters the conversation. "Back away," entering the room is none other than Obsidius. The magma kaiju approaches the couch. Zilla stands to defend his mate, only to feel a hand placed on his shoulder. Glancing at who stopped him, he sees that it is Gojira.
They allow Obsidius to approach Komi and rests a hand on the gunk. The gunk starts to melt away and soon Komi gasps as she takes a fresh breath of air before coughing up some more gunk. The magma kaiju steps back as Zilla is by her side. Zilla moves his face closer to hers only for Komi to stop him.
"Hang on!" she leans to the side to cough up more gunk. "I need to take a breather."
Obsidius turns to Gojira, "I do not know what my purpose truly is. I believe that it is not with you. But that does not mean it has to be with the Legion," he receives a nod from the atomic titan. "Farewell, Gojira," he tells him as he turns to leave.
"Before you go," Gojira stops him and faces Kimiko whose head is turning to figure out where everyone's voices are coming from.
The magma kaiju removes the gunk out of the agent's eyes. "Finally, I can see!" cheers as Obsidius leaves without saying a word. She looks around and notices something in Slick's hand. "Is that my Maser?"
The man looks at the gun, "Oh? Yes it is," he hands it over to her. "Say, where can I get one of those?"
Kimiko snatches it and places it in the holster. "They are issued to trained individuals whose jobs involve possible kaiju combatants. And must go through basic military training to even have a chance to request to even meet someone with the authority to sign paperwork that will let you train with one under supervision."
"So, my chances are slim to none, huh?"
