Godzilla: King of the Monsters
USS Argo:
"Three minutes until it's here!"
Barnes sprinted down the corridor. He reached the steps, quickly running up until he was aboard the bridge of the Argo. The flying fortress was equipped to deal with Titans, but this was his first mission and he was nervous. He turned and saw Colonel Foster, the one in charge of the ship.
"Barnes get to your station and prepare for a fight!"
"Yes Ma'am!" He replied as he quickly moved to sit at his station manning the sonar in the bridge. He looked up and saw Lieutenant Brody enter. Brody swiftly moved past his station, weaving between the men and women on the deck.
"Where is it?" Brody asked, with an almost confident look on his face.
Foster quickly turned from the control console and stood up straight, facing him. "The male MUTO should be in weapons range shortly, then we can engage. Barnes! Get me the location of that thing!"
As Foster and Brody both turned to look at him Barnes quickly shot his head down and inspected the monitor, but something was wrong.
"Barnes!" Foster shouted, this time more concerned.
"Theres something blocking our signal, I can't see a damn thing on here!"
Barnes looked up at Brody and watched him slowly turn away and look through the large window on the bridge. Barnes stood up and followed most of the crew as they all walked towards the large object heading towards them.
Foster jumped back and shouted, "Pilots! Prepare evasive manoeuvres and ready those goddamn missiles!"
Suddenly the MUTO head crashed into the Argos main window, and rolled off its hull. As this was happening Barnes saw something else in the background, a large cloud was slowly heading towards the Argo. He turned to look at his monitor and saw it, a massive life sign was heading towards them.
"Ma'am! There's something else out there!" He shouted.
"Location?"
"It's in the cloud! Heading straight towards us!"
Brody quickly moved forward and placed his hand on one of the seats in the bridge. "Strap in and prepare for a fight! Whatever killed the MUTO is coming for us!"
"Sir its blocking our signals, I can't track it!" Barnes shouted.
"We're going to have to do this blind, on my command fire all missiles straight ahead! Pilots try to get us directly in front of this thing, it's the best chance we have."
Brody leaned forward as the Argo crew kicked into action, watching the cloud for any signs of life. The cloud quickly enveloped the Argo, plunging the bridge into darkness, the only light coming from the screens all around Barnes. Suddenly the life sign appeared on the monitor, it was right above them.
"SIR! IT'S ABO-"
The window exploded as yellow lightning shot throughout the ship. Brody was violently ripped from his chair as an explosion launched him out of the Argo. As lightning continued to fill the bridge Barnes jumped up and began to run for the door. Just as he was about to make it lightning struck the floor near him, sending him flying through the bridge. Suddenly he was launched straight into the air as the Argo began to drop. More explosions scattered the bridge as he floated, unable to move. From the massive hole tore in the bridge he could see the dark blue of the ocean, getting closer closer. Until there was nothing.
Boston:
"Workers continue to search the Pacific after an unknown object crashed-"
Madison changed the chanel...
"Could this be another Tita-"
She changed the chanel...
"Whatever it was it release-"
She changed the chanel...
"5 years since the San Francisco attack. This has left many people wondering whether the object has anything to do with the Titan now known as-"
Her eyes slowly moved down until she was looking directly at the remote. The TV was muted but she could still see the images in the corner of her eye, the destruction, the death. She held back the tears as she looked up at the TV, slowly she moved her finger over the button, pressed unmute and dropped the remote.
"The Titan hasn't been seen for 3 years since its attack on a small island near the coast of Japan. The mysterious organisation called Monarch believed they had destroyed the creature. However people are still demanding answers from the organisation as many believe they knew about the Titans but didn't warn us."
The TV flicked off and Madison looked up, it was her father Mark.
A tear rolled down her cheek as she softly asked, "Do you have to do this?"
Mark quickly rushed towards her and embraced his child, grabbing her tighly in a hug.
"I won't be gone for long, I promise." Mark slowly replied as he let go and began to move away. He leaned forward and wiped the tear off her cheek. "Plus if your good I might bring you a gift."
A smile slowly formed on Madisons face, "Another tube of smarties?"
"They're exotic foods."
"No they're not!" she shouted as laughter burst out of her mouth.
Mark sat down next to her and turned to look in her eyes. "I'm going to be nowhere near it anyway, I've been assigned to a base on the other side of the world."
"Can I come with you?" She asked, with a small ammount of hope in her voice that her father might say yes for once.
"I need someone protecting the city while I'm gone, not everybody knows as much as you do about the monsters."
Mark gave his daughter one last smile, and left the house.
USS Oracle:
Marks escort followed him closely as they weaved through the corridors of the fortress. He could hear voices echoing through the pipes and the sound of engines warming up, they were almost ready to take off. A soldier opened a door and Mark stepped onto the bridge. Infront of him was Doctor Serizawa and his assistant Vivienne Graham.
"I'm suprised to see you here." Mark coldy said as he walked past the doctor and took a seat.
"This isn't a destruction mission." The doctor quickly replied.
Mark swivled around just as Sam had entered the bridge. "Then what the fuck are we doing?" He asked.
Sam placed his files onto a table in the centre of the bridge and began fumbling around in his pockets.
"Sam!" Mark asked impatiently.
Sam looked up directly at him, "Wait."
"Sam goddamn it, you better not have let these two talk you into another one of their plans!"
Vivienne moved closer to Sam and handed him a remote, Sam looked at her and nodded in appretiation. Sam pressed a button and a large monitor turned on. On the monitor was the bridge of another fortress, in the corner was the words "USS Argo".
Mark slowly stood up and asked, "What happened?"
"Just watch" Sam replied.
Mark watched as a yellow lightning destroyed the bridge of the Argo. He watched the explosions until the cameras suddenly turned off. As they did Doctor Serizawa stood up and moved towards the monitor until he was directly infront of it.
Serizawa took off his glasses and started moving them rapidly in his hands as he spoke. "Whatever this was, it's unlike anything we've seen before. It manged to destroy the Argo on its own."
"Can it not be a Titan we already know about?" Mark asked suddenly without thinking.
"You think Kong can control electricity?" Vivienne quickly replied.
Serizawa seemed to not notice the two talking and continued on his own, "A week ago something crashed into the Pacific, something the Argo was sent to investigate. It drew another Muto out of hiding to go find it."
Sam stepped forward and said "Thats the fith one we've seen."
Mark nodded and looked at the doctor to continue.
"Whatever it was, we can't defeat it. But I believe we have something that can."
Mark rushed forward until he was infront of the doctor. Sam grabbed his shoulders and began to pull him back.
"Don't say what I think your gonna say!"
"We have had balance for three years! Ever since Godzilla killed the Mutos off the coast of-"
"HOW CAN YOU STILL SAY THAT!" Mark roared. As he did the Oracle began to lift up into the air. Mark slowly began to relax and Sam let go.
Sam looked at his friend and said "Mark, I know you'll disagree but look at what that thing did to the Argo! We are not equiped to deal with something like that!"
Mark stood there for a minute, thinking about everything, about his wife, his child.
"Even if you wanted to find it, you couldn't. I thought we lost that thing."
Serizawa smiled, "Lost? Maybe. Gone? No."
