GODZILLA: Of Humans and Demons

4-5

Kilaaks

The Gotengo along with the Gohten were deployed out in front with legions of multipodal batteries and vultures out on the field. A fleet of Super Xs was deployed along with Super X2s and Super X3s. Kiryu was also dispatched along with a squad of Moguera. G-ENDS were also deployed. Haruo and Yuko piloting vultures that were deployed from the Gotengo. They couldn't believe it themselves. It was a giant army of machines and leading them was something that had long been destroyed for a long time ago.

Gigan.

A monster that was more machine than monster by the time of its demise, a creature that once slept in the waters of Siberia, only to be turned into a weapon for the United Earth to use against Godzilla while Project Mechagodzilla was developing Mechagodzilla. Had the machine rebuilt itself—no. This couldn't be the same machine as before. It was destroyed completely. This thing could be a fabrication of Gigan and nothing more. Though it looked genuine enough to resemble Gigan's exact appearance.

"Are we actually going to fight Gigan?" Yuko asked.

"Well, he seems like he wants a piece of us. Plus, I don't think it's under Deinde's control, just like those other machines down there." Haruo said, "Whatever those things are, it's obvious that they see us as the enemy."

The machines made their first move. The battle had begun, vultures began to engage in dogfights with the enemy. The enemy ships looked avian in their design. Enemy fighters swarmed the Gotengo, but the AA guns on the Gotengo were firing at the enemy ships and made it incredibly difficult for the enemy ships to attack the ship. Haruo shot down an enemy fighter before taking another one down.

Minya saw what was going on. There was a battle going on outside the Forbidden Machina City. He quickly transformed into his Raijin form and began to make his way toward the battlefield, wondering exactly what the combined force of Hidden and Exiles were fighting against.

Godzilla stopped. Something was wrong. He looked to his left and saw signs of a battle raging in the distance. He figured the humans must be fighting another monster dumb enough to walk into their territory. The humans already knew how to kill monsters aside from himself. They always had plans and strategies to deal with monsters.

He cared little about the humans, but he seemed intrigued by what was going on that he might have to look into this. He turned his titanic body around and began to walk towards the area.

Angilas was not having it. The sounds that he heard were absolutely infernal to his ears. He wished they would just be silent! If only these cuffs weren't so—! Ugh! He was a warrior! He knows there is a battle going on! He should be out there! He should be fighting whoever the hell these Hidden were fighting!

"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" He heard the Rodanian yell.

"Will you ever shut up?!" Angilas yelled.

"I didn't ask to die here!" Dan yelled, "Damnit! Why did I have to go with someone like you?!"

"Well it's your fault I'm in here and not out there, fighting whatever it is that they are fighting!"

"You actually wanna go out there?! Are you brain dead?!"

"WHY YOU—!"

Angilas heard the cell door open and looked to see a Hidden military officer. He never understood why the Hidden would wear such ridiculous clothes. It was like they were sheltering their bodies from the reality of how weak and pitiful they were. But aside from that…

"Let me guess, you want me to go out there."

He heard the man speak, but in a language that sounded ancient. He didn't understand the language, but opening the door was enough to convince him of one thing.

They want him to fight.

"Heh heh heh." Angilas said.

Angilas smiled.

"Alright, who are we up against?" Angilas asked.

The Ice Angurius materialized out of thin air and landed on the ground, howling as to make itself known. The Gigan in front of the Anguirus got into a combat stance, sickle claws all at the ready. The Angurius threw itself at the Gigan. The robotic beast swung its sickle claw at the Anguirus. The claw digs into the flesh and tossed the Anguirus to the side. The Anguirus rolls on the ground. It tried to attack the Gigan again, only for the Gigan to kick the Anguirus back. The Gigan suddenly shot a red beam of light at the Anguirus. A wall of ice rose up. The beam hits the ice wall and proceeds to melt its way through it.

The Anguirus jumped up high and fell down on the Gigan. The Gigan knocked the other kaiju off its body and got up. Before it could strike, a blue beam of light streaked towards it. The Gigan ducked and looked to where the beam was. Particles of nanometal began to disperse from the body. Another blue beam comes, this time, upon making contact, the beam splinters and jumps off the particles of nanometal. The forest around the Gigan was lit ablaze. The Anguirus got on its legs and looked to where the beam came from.

It was then that the Raijin was seen coming into the field of battle, rushing into battle like a crazed warrior who was put for blood. The Raijin jumped into the air and tackled the Gigan. The Gigan tossed the Raijin off its body. Kiryu had begun firing upon the Gigan with its weapons. The Gigan backed off and fired its laser beam, prompting the two monsters and the one machine to back off.

"Well, he sure took his damn time getting here!" Leland said.

"Minya!" Yuko said.

Minya stood poised for battle. He had learned tales of this Gigan. A beast who had fought with Gojira multiple times with each battle leaving him maimed. He himself had wanted to challenge such a beast himself. But it would not be that easy. The living metal gave Gigan the advantage. He needed something that could make things a bit easier. He looked to the Anguira and an idea began to set in.

He kicked the Anguira over and grabbed the Anguira by the tail and held the beast aloft. Despite its protest, he swung it like a hammer, hitting Gigan across the face with it. He swings it at Gigan again. The monster caught the Anguira and tossed it to the ground. Minya rushed at Gigan. Using that herculean body of his, he smashed into Gigan. The beast hits back with its knee, jabbing a spike into the Raijin. Gigan kicked Minya back.

Kiryu continued firing all weapons at the machine. The machine dodged the incoming storm of ammunition and energy projectiles.

RAILGUN: AMMUNITION ZERO

MISSILES: AMMUNITION ZERO

ROCKETS: AMMUNITION ZERO

MAIN CANNONS: AMMUNITION ZERO

CONVERGENT NEUTRON CANNON: ONLINE

ABSOLUTE ZERO GUN: ONLINE

SUGGESTION: ENGAGE IN MELEE COMBAT.

AFFIRMATIVE.

The rail guns came off. It fires up the backpack and arches down. The backpack came flying off. The cannons receded. Blades of nanometal stuck out of Kiryu's arms. Kiryu and Gigan clashed blades with each other. The two backed off after a few seconds. Their blades met one another with every attack they made at each other. Kiryu swings its tail at Gigan. The bladed tail cuts off a mandible.

Minya got up and knew he had no other options left. He began to charge up.

ATOMIC BREATH CHARGE DETECTED.

HYPOTHESIS: UNIT MINYA'S ATOMIC BREATH COMBINED WITH CONVERGENCE NEUTRON CANNON COULD POTENTIALLY DESTROY UNIT GIGAN.

SUGGESTED COURSE OF ACTION: PROCEED WITH ATTACK.

AFFIRMATIVE.

Kiryu twisted its head to the side as a gun barrel extended out the back of its head. A red light began to radiate from the head.

"A joint attack?" Tsubasa asked.

"Yes, if they direct their energy at one spot, they might just be able to destroy Gigan!"

"Gigan's Neutron Beam is about to fire!"

"Wait! Unknown energy signature coming from the rear!"

"What?"

A green energy beam shot towards Gigan and blasted its head. The neutron beam shot straight up, missing its target completely. The Raijin along with Kiryu fired at the Gigan. The two energy beams converged at the Gigan's torso. The explosion destroyed the machine in one shot. A huge cloud swells up towards the sky. The machines began to retreat altogether. Minya turned around and began to march off. He continued to march until he stepped on something and tripped over. A brown caterpillar leaped into the air and fell on Minya's head. Minya got back up. The caterpillar fell off his head and fell to the ground. He looked to the caterpillar and picked it up by the tail end. A loud screech was heard and he looked up to see a red eyed Mothra.

Later…

Minya woke up in a room of steel. He had no idea where he was. The door opened and Yuko came in.

"You were unconscious after the battle was over." Yuko said, "Mothra was… let's just say she didn't like how you were holding her… Uh… baby."

'Baby? Child?' Minya thought.

He got up and shook his head.

"Oh, and Orga is here… along with your retainers, I think." Yuko said.

'Orga? Here? As well as Jira and Biyo?' Minya thought.

Elsewhere…

Orga tensely stares at the wreckage that had been brought here. It was indeed Machina. But this was no ordinary Machina. It had the appearance of a Kilaak.

"There is no doubt. That is a Kilaak." Orga said.

"Kilaak?" Mulu-elu asked.

"Yes… Machina bent to the will of a machine god that wishes to consume all." Orga said, "It is evil in every way possible. Unrelenting, unforgiving, ruthless, a killer, a being without a soul. Evil so great that it is close to the likes of Destroyah."

The machine itself appeared humanoid, but it had only one eye.

"Many have seen the things they have done. The lives they took. The pain they caused. The suffering they inflicted." Orga said, "All in the name of their so-called God. The last time we fought them, we pushed them into a place we called the Hellmouth, a place where their God resides."

"How can we stop them?"

"They can be killed, but they won't truly stay dead, not while their God exists." Orga said, "Take out their God, and they'll never be reborn ever again. They will truly die as all things should in the end."

His fist was clenched. He looked to the Kilaak.

'For two millennia, you have gone silent since our victory against you. And now you threaten to consume once more…' He thought, 'Even if Lord Dagon is not with us, we will be victorious and you shall fall as you did once before.'
