USS Oracle:
Serizawa arrived on the bridge to chaos. He looked around as half asleep soldiers quickly moved to their stations, ready for a fight. Behind him he felt somebody and saw Sam rush past towards the control centre in the middle of the large room.
"What's going on?" Sam asked.
Serizawa saw a sergeant he didn't recognise turn to Sam and say, "There's been radioactive signals from a monarch base, we believe a Titan is waking up."
Serizawa rushed towards the table that the men where crowded around. He started pressing buttons, bringing up readings from the base.
"Ionizing radiation..." serizawa whispered.
The sergeant leaned over to inspect the screen, "Ionizing?"
Sam stepped back, "The same type that woke up Godzilla."
The door to the bridge was kicked open as Stanton and Vivienne barged through the soldiers and reached the table. They placed down a large file and as Stanton began typing something into the computerised surface Vivienne turned to the doctor.
"Look here."
Serizawa turned to where she was pointing, it was a group of readings showing radiation. He asked, "The readings from the monarch base?"
Just as Vivienne was about to speak Stanton interrupted with, "No, readings from the pacific. We think whatever this Titan is it emits a small amount of radiation that can make dormant titans wake up."
"Wait", Sam said as he also began messing with the screen, pushing Stanton's hand away. "The object, that fell over the Pacific, what was it?"
Stanton looked at him and said, "Just a piece of space debris that attracted the MUTO, we assume because of-" he suddenly stopped with a shocked look on his face.
Serizawa stepped back from the desk and said, "Radiation..."
"So what, this thing is like an all you can eat buffet for these things?" asked Sam
"Yeah, but my shrimp aren't a massive cloud that shoots lightning."
Vivienne let out a little giggle and continued to be focus on the monitor. Stanton pulled out a phone and began furiously typing.
"Who are you calling?" Sam asked as he straightened up.
"Ghostbusters" Stanton replied.
The sergeant moved away from the group and began barking orders at his soldiers, they were preparing to move.
Sam looked directly at the sergeant and said, "Hang on,uh we can't just erm go straight to Arizona?"
"What other choice do we have?" Said serizawa.
"This thing destroyed the Argo, what if it uh destroys us?"
"We'll find a way."
As serizawa finished speaking he noticed mark at the control centre. Vivienne turned to greet him and said "I'll brief you now."
"What's to brief? There's a giant monster?" Said Stanton.
The sergeant made his way back to the control centre, "We need to prepare evacuations of the state."
"I already have." Stanton said as he zoomed into Arizona on the control centre.
Arizona:
The Oracle sped through the air, its large wing span casting a shadow on the ground below. B-1 Lancer bombers were escorting the Oracle as it made its way closer to the Monarch base in Arizona. Thunderbolt fighters surrounded the other aircraft, ready to engage with any targets.
"What Titan are we dealing with?" Asked the sergeant
"Scylla, a sort of giant spider mixed with a squid." Serizawa replied.
Sam looked at the sergeant, "will bombs uh work?"
"It's endoskeleton is thick, but the combined firepower of our weapons should destroy it."
"And your ok with this? Don't want to try and save another one of your pets?" Mark asked as he looked at serizawa.
Serizawa looked up, ignoring Marks comment, "We should proceed with my plan."
"Doctor with all due respect your plan relies heavily on something we have no idea about." Said the sergeant
"If the plan doesn't work then proceed with yours."
"By then they would have intercepted."
"They're going to intercept anyway."
"I can't believe I'm about to say this, fine. We will proceed with your plan but if it goes wrong I'm bombing that area immediately!"
The Argo began to show down. Below them the ground was beginning to crack, oil was bursting and rising up into the air. A large gap began to form as a small shed collapsed into it. A large hairy leg rose out, creating a large thud as it crashed into the ground. Slowly a second leg appeared, until the large spider was pulling itself out of the hole.
Vivienne said to serizawa, "The Geiger counters going up, its here!"
"A goddamn radioactive hurricane!" Stanton said as he moved closer to the window.
The large hurricane was moving quickly towards the ground. Short bursts of yellow revealed the outline of a large creature inside.
Mark stood up, not moving his eyes away from the creature, "Fuck me."
The three headed beast continued on its path, the storm moving with it.
The sergeant picked up a radio, "All fighters, move back until I give the word."
The Argo and its escorts began to move away from the battleground.
"We need a name for this thing." Stanton remarked as they moved further away.
"Ghidorah, the serpent." Serizawa whispered.
Scylla stood tall over the dead fields. It's tentacles hanging from its mouth, moving slightly in the wind. The storm began to cover the lands around it, lowering its visibility. Then a head emerged from the cloud, its golden scales shimmering from the yellow lightning. It opened its mouth slightly revealing sharp teeth, then two others like it came out. Ghidorah roared and flew towards Scylla. Scylla lifted up one of its legs, with the sharp end and jabbed into the air. Ghidorah quickly turned left, avoiding the strike. Ghidorah landed on a small hill above Scylla, for a second both monsters stopped. Scylla lowered its legs and body, bowing down to Ghidorah. The mighty serpent gave off a loud roar, spread its wings and began to fly up.
"Damn it!" The sergeant shouted, "All fighters engage that thing!"
The thunderbolts sped forward, and began to open fire on ghidorah. Their bullets bouncing off his golden scales. Ghidorah fired a bolt of lightning, instantly destroying two fighters. The lancer bombers moved down, below the fight and began to aim for Scylla. The creature jumped up like it weighed nothing and stuck one of its legs into the bomber, sending it crashing down below. Ghidorah sent out another blast of lightning destroying three more fighters. The clouds around him grew heavier, blocking out the sun and plunging the fight into darkness. Bombers began to move up and turn around, ready for a second strike. Scylla hissed at them as they dropped their payload, surrounding the creature with fire. The Argo began to open fire forward, launching 10 missiles into Ghidorah. The blasts sent the creature flying back, its legs skimming along the ground as its wings began to flap, launching it back into the air. Fighters began another attack run, this time Ghidorah sent its large tail flying through the air, destroying the last 4 fighters in one swift strike. The bombing squad began to move away from the crater they had made and towards Ghidorah. The Argo fired again, this time Ghidorah launched another lightning strike, destroying the missiles. Bombers began a pincer movement on Ghidorah, surrounding it on both sides. They opened fire, hitting the creature directly in its two side heads, sending it straight down.
Everybody inside the Argo cheered. Serizawa sat down, a feeling of relief spread across his body. He sighed and took off his glasses. As he looked up a large blast of lightning pierced the bridge, he flew back, slamming into the wall. At first everything was blurry, he could barely see, then it all came back to him. Serizawa stood up, coughing intensely as he inhaled the smoke. A large fire was spreading across the bridge as more lightning shot through. Vivienne grabbed his arm and began dragging him towards the exit. He slowly regained his strength and stumbled through the door. Outside was Mark and Stanton were leaning against a wall, Mark holding his stomach as a red pool began to grow around his hand.
"We need to get to an osprey, now!" Mark screamed.
The others nodded as Vivienne rushed forward to help Mark move. He wrapped his arm around her and they began to make their way down towards the hangar. The ship shook as the sound of more explosions echoed throughout the corridors. They made it too the top of the stairs where tremors caused Stanton to trip and fall. He slowly got up and hobbled along the corridor, the only thing he could see was the flickering off red emergency lights that were slowly being drowned out by the black of the smoke. They made it to a large bulkhead door that was being held shut buy a rusty pipe that had collapsed above it. Sam was stood there attempting to pull it off.
He turned once he heard them and quickly rushed to Mark, "There's a first aid kit in all the erm ospreys, if we can reach one!"
Stanton inspected the pipe blocking the door, "Help me move this, if we slide it right then up it should move."
The three men began to push the pipe as Vivienne held onto a weaker Mark. She looked at his face, the colour was being drained. The pipe fell down with a bang and the group continued onwards.
Stanton ran towards a console and shouted "How do we get the hangar door open!"
A large bolt of lightning blasted through the hangar walls, leaving a massive hole after the explosions.
"That works!" He shouted as he ran towards the nearest osprey.
The rest gathered in as they prepared to take off. Sam was sat in the pilots seat with Stanton on his left.
"You know how to fly this thing?" Stanton asked.
"I've uh seen the other pilots do it."
"So that's a no..."
The ospreys blades began to quickly turn as explosions filled the hangar. It lifted into the air, crashing lightly against a wall that sent it right. Sam yanked against the controls and the osprey launched left, through the large hole and into the storm.
The osprey was shaking as massive winds blew the small aircraft around. A large blast sent debris and fire into the air as the Oracle exploded with lightning. A piece of shrapnel flew threw the window of the osprey, hitting Sam in the shoulder. He screamed and pushed down, sending the osprey into a rapid descent. Alarms sounded as the osprey began to spin and continue going down. Stanton leaned over and grabbed the control, pulling it towards him as hard as he could, screaming with fear. The osprey crashed into the desert, its right engine being completely ripped off. The osprey flipped as it continued to roll across the ground, with more off the hull falling off, creating a trail of metal. The osprey finally stopped, in the centre of the dark storm.
Stanton opened his eyes, he was safe. He felt around his body, he couldn't feel anything wrong, he looked over to Sam, apart from the small piece of shrapnel he was fine. Smoke was filling the cockpit with a small fire lighting up the nearby area. Stanton could hear something, at first he thought more explosions. Then he looked up, a large hairy leg had just crashed into the ground in front of them.
Some time later...
Vivienne slowly opening her eyes, at first forgetting what had just happened. She slowly got up and looked around. She felt a sharp pain on the back of her head, when she ran her fingers through her hair she saw blood. Vivienne seemed to be the only one in the osprey. The right side was missing, the seats that Mark and Serizawa was on must have been flung out. Vivienne walked out of the hole, it might have been night but she couldn't tell. There was still a large storm above them that was blocking out the light. Vivienne saw in the distance yellow flashes, Ghidorah was still near. She was in an empty desert, if she didn't do something soon, she'll die. Normally she would have Doctor Serizawa with her, but now she didn't. Vivienne wasn't used to being alone, or taking control. She always had Serizawa to help her, but not now. Vivienne walked around the osprey until she reached the cockpit. There was only Sam, with a piece of metal sticking out of his shoulder. Vivienne walked towards him and checked his pulse, he was alive but knocked out. Thunder echoed from the sky as the storm grew worse, whatever Ghidorah was doing he was getting stronger. Vivienne remembered Serizawa had the first aid kit, they were trying to patch up Mark. She knew that help would soon come to get the two of them, surely they would search the crash site? Vivienne heard a loud thud, then another. She walked out of the cockpit and towards the rear of the ship, it was Scylla. The bombs damaged it, one if its legs were gone and it's face looked burnt but it could still fight. She stumbled back in fear and made her way into the cockpit. She began to inspect the consoles. One was destroyed but the other seemed to work, it had a bunch of blinking lights but she had no clue what they meant. Vivienne began to look around until she found a headset dangling from the ceiling. She grabbed them and put it over her head, beginning to speak into the mic.
"Hello? Can anybody read me? I need immediate assistance."
Nobody replied. She noticed a sort of radio in the cockpit, there were dials to change frequency. Vivienne began to mess with the dials, changing them, only hearing voices for a second with a loud static noise coming out of the headset. While she was doing this she began to feel vibrations, the ground would shake for a second then stop. She quickly removed the headset and heard it. Thud, thud, thud. Vivienne once again walked out of the cockpit and saw Scylla towering above her. She looked directly at its face, its tentacles dripping saliva onto her body. She gulped and slowly backed off into the cockpit. The creature lifted a leg and she turned and jumped into cover behind a console. The leg pierced the hull, narrowly missing Sam. The creature raised another leg and struck through the cockpit, this time on the right side. With both legs in the creature began to lean back and lifting them up, raising the osprey into the air. Vivienne screamed as she began to fall down towards the broken window. She grabbed onto the chair Sam was strapped into and held on with all her energy. The creature let off a weak roar and began to shake the osprey. Her hand was starting to become red, she could feel the pain spreading up her arm. The creature carried on shaking the osprey as she lifted her second arm up and grabbed onto the chair. She heard a grunt coming from Sam who's eyes slowly opened. At first he just saw Vivienne's face but then he looked forward and screamed in fear at the face of the creature. Vivienne couldn't hold on for much longer, the creature was getting more agitated shaking the osprey quicker. Vivienne could feel her hand slipping, she could only hold on for a few seconds longer. Sam, now fully awake, grabbed onto the top of his chair with one hand and undid his belt with another. He pulled himself up until he on top of the seat.
He crouched down and shouted "Vivienne! Grab my hand!"
Vivienne's right arm dropped, with her remaining strength the lifted the heavy hand up to meet Sams. As their fingers touched her left arm let go, dropping her into Scylla.
Meanwhile...
"WE NEED TO GO NOW!"
Mark quickly got up, his wound was treated but it would still need stitches. He couldn't hear much over the sound of gunfire and explosions. US soldiers were fighting Ghidorah above him, he could hear the sounds of engines speeding overhead. Mark and Serizawa were running through the desert towards the Blackhawk. He sprinted past a tank just as it fired, for a couple of seconds he could only hear ringing, then the screams came back to him. He was pushed into the Blackhawk as it began to take off. He looked outside the window, the night sky was lit up with the colours of the lightning and explosions from the army. Ghidorah was above them, in the centre of the storm, destroying anything that came near it.
"We need to go find them!" Serizawa shouted at one of the soldiers.
"I told you sir we can't! We need to get out of here before the bombers arrive!"
"A nuclear warhead won't work!"
The helicopter violently tilted left as a streak of lightning shot past the right side. Mark looked down at the soldiers getting destroyed, hopelessly firing at the beast. He looked back at Serizawa who somehow got a radio from a soldier and was hopelessly trying to tell them to call off the strike. As the helicopter moved away from the battle Mark saw it, the osprey and Scylla.
"There! We need to land now!"
The soldier leaned out and looked through the window. "We can't leave them!" He presses his hand against the radio and starting speaking again, "General we have more civilians under attack by some sort of spider, we need backup immediately!"
A voice in the radio replied "Negative Bravo Team, payload is three minutes away."
The soldier grunted, stood up and moved towards the cockpit. There 7 soldiers in the helicopter, at least that Mark could count. The soldier returned and the helicopter began to land.
"We will distract that thing, you rush towards that osprey and try to get the survivors. At most you'll have a minute."
The helicopter landed near the osprey, Scylla was stood next to the aircraft, if just pulled a leg out of its hull and was beginning to come towards them. The doors opened and five soldiers ran out. They all began to open fire on the creature, one using a rocket that hit its face. Scylla fell back but quickly got up and began moving towards the men. Mark and Serizawa ran past the fighting and towards the osprey. From a ditch near the osprey Mark saw Stanton run out and straight past them towards the Blackhawk. They continued running until they reached the cockpit. Sam was lying on the ground with what seemed like a broken arm. Mark began to pick him up and help carry him towards the Blackhawk.
"Where is she?" Serizawa asked
"I'm uh I'm sorry..." Sam weakly replied as he began to get up and accept Marks assistance.
Serizawa stood there silently, a small tear rolled down his cheek as he looked up towards the sky. The storm was starting to move away, with a red light shining through some clouds. Serizawa turned and ran, following the other two men. Scylla had caught up to the soldiers, one of them was pierced through the chest by its leg. The others began to move back towards the Blackhawk, Scylla extended a leg and got one of the men in the head, ripping out his brains. The three remaining soldiers got in and the Blackhawk immediately took off, narrowly avoiding another strike from the creature. They sat there in silence, Mark still looking down at the destruction beneath them. A large jet flew past above them, it continued to rise above the clouds. The helicopter also rose, until it was above the dark of the storm. The sun was setting over Arizona, from here Mark thought it looked peaceful. The sky was illuminated red, there was silence. Then there was a white flash, everybody inside the Blackhawk quickly shut their eyes as a large bang flew through the sky. Next the chopper was jolted around as the force of the blast hit the side. Mark was the first to open his eyes, the storm clouds that were once there seemed to form into the top of a mushroom. Serizawa turned away, with a look of disgust on his face.
"We need to go to Boston." Sam said steadily.
Marks head quickly turned to face him, he remembered about Maddison, how worried she must be.
"The cities gonna be chaos, the evacuations are taking place there." The soldier said solemnly
"Evacuations in Boston, for one missile?" Stanton asked.
"No...its Yellowstone, they say it's erupting"
Serizawa immediately looked up, "The fire demon..."
