Even though I own well over 20 movies I do not own Godzilla.

Ascending the Throne

For most it was a day for celebration. Not only had the JSDF protected the citizens of Japan from a monster born from a terrible weapon used back in 1954, but they had also brought an end to the monster that had terrorized them for nearly 50 years.

For others, it was a time of mourning.

Though he had often come there and caused a great deal of damage to the many cities of Japan those who knew him felt a great deal of pity for him. For years he had been known as the King, ruling over the island chain in the sea off the eastern coast of Japan. Over the years he had constantly battled both the JSDF and other monster like him. In his mind he was doing nothing more than defending his kingdom against intruders no matter who they were. But over the past few days something had happened. The uranium deposit underneath the island he lived on had exploded, flooding his body with too much radiation for him to handle. Because of this he had become a walking nuclear power plant who's inevitable meltdown would destroy the entire planet, and it would have if not for the JSDF's new freeze weapon technology. As soon as his body began to break apart they froze him, keeping the planet from being destroyed.

But now, a new problem had arisen...

With the King dead and his son killed in battle there was no one to claim the throne of the King. For the first time in nearly 50 years the throne was empty. That one fact brought along a new problem...

Who would rise up and claim the throne as its new King?

In the past many monsters tried to take the throne from the former King, and the all failed. But now that he and his successor were dead there was nothing stopping them from coming to lay claim to the throne. The only question was who. Maybe it would be one of his closest allies like Mothra or Angilas. Maybe it would be one that was a longtime adversary of his like Megalon or perhaps a monster from deep space like Gigan or King Ghidorah. Or worse yet it could be something man themselves have created like Destroyah. In fact it could be any number of different monsters. And the JSDF knew that they didn't have enough firepower to deal with all of them on their own.

But they wouldn't have to...

The radiation that had filled the area after the King's death had completely disappeared. Any trace that he had been there was now gone. Those who were monitoring the radiation wondered what had happened. They had no explanation as to why the radiation suddenly disappeared the way it did.

The answer came soon enough.

On the horizon a massive figure stood. Much like his father his presence was intimidating to all who looked upon him. The creature observed his surroundings before roaring to the heavens almost as if he was issuing a challenge to all who would listen, daring them to come and test themselves against him.

Right then everyone knew what had happened.

He had survived the battle and had now taken his rightful place upon the throne.

Junior was no longer Junior...

The Prince was now the King...

And the legend of Godzilla would live on...

Okay, that was a bit short and not my best work, but I think it turned out okay. Of course I leave the final verdict up to you readers.

Please review.
