Something a little different, usually these are the start of a match, felt like posting a trailer for later on in a match. Justified because this is a big’un, and it’s a flashback so context of the rest of the match isn’t needed. This is one I actually posted a trailer for forever ago. It is still not done, but it grows ever closer to completion. Also just want to say real quick, good work to everyone who has posted trailers here recently, looking forward to all of your ideas.

Spoiler:
Chapter 6: Across Worlds

Days after the Human/Xilien War

“You are approaching Planet X. We detect no abnormalities, do you?”

“No sir.” Replied Glenn, his chiseled face locked in concentration. “They aren’t dumb enough to try anything other than listening.” Almost subconsciously, he felt the small device in his space suit’s pocket, a circular machine that would emit a high-pitched whine when activated. If the Xiliens did not listen, he would force them to.

“Then we leave it to you two. Good luck, Glenn and Fuji.” The radio cut off, leaving the friends of different nationalities to only talk to each other in the cramped cockpit of the spaceship P-1.

The silence of a few moments was heavier than tungsten.

“Are you sure we should do this? Force them to turn off their computer?” Fuji Kazuo asked his fellow astronaut, trepidation coating his words.

Humanity had just come off the heels of a battle with another species, the brutal assault of Planet X being weathered and countered by human ingenuity. A species controlled by electronic signals released from a supercomputer, seeking water even if it meant shedding blood. But the computer was not all they were. At some point, they had locked themselves in those chains. Glenn knew this, for a simple reason.

“Yes. It’s the only way they’ll be able to live, be able to cohabitate with us.”

Fuji was not fully convinced. “But, think of the consequences! They’ve lived their whole lives under this, you can’t just cut them free and expect everything to go well!”

“They already can feel emotion! Think for themselves. I saw it, and they killed her for it. All we’re doing is freeing them.” Glenn spoke, with more resolve behind his words than he’d ever held before.

“Glenn…” Fuji was never one who was able to handle the more volatile aspects of the human emotional spectrum. He wished his sister was here, this was something much more in her wheelhouse than his. The astronaut, thinking it over, realized that she was always better at reading people than he had been. Her boyfriend, who he had brushed off as a failure, had been a key part of saving humanity.

“Namikawa was one Xilien. This is an entire species. You can’t be sure that they all feel the same way she did, you can’t be sure-“

“I am not leaving this planet until that damned computer is shut down.” Glenn had not shouted or even particularly raised his voice, but there was a coldness and venom to that sentence that carried more power than any fist slamming onto a table.

That silence returned, their blue barren destination drawing ever closer.

Glenn knew the Xiliens were more than the computer because it had been revealed to him. Through that overwhelming force, transcendent of all boundaries, even the ones between worlds.

“You loved her, didn’t you? Truly?”

Glenn let out a sigh, one filled with pain that came from the depths of the heart. “More than I’ll ever love again.”

***

The Xilien across the sleek desk shrunk under Glenn’s gaze. In their base, their metallic underground sanctuary, he was supposed to be in complete control. But the truth was far from that. Not when his race’s army had been vanquished by the world that was now making demands of him. Not when the Controller had been slain, and he could only desperately try to pick up the pieces.

“Look, be glad about this. Humanity being willing to extend an olive branch after the shit you pulled? Rare for us.” The blonde-haired emissary spoke. “You should see what we did to the Mysterians.”

Fuji took note of how the new Controller recoiled. The cold confidence of the former was lost despite the nearly identical appearance, and he had a feeling it was not quite just from the recent events. “So, explain briefly, just so we’re all on the same page.” He began, in order to break the tension. “Why have you in particular been made the new leader?”

“As the former Controller’s younger sibling, I have also been given the requisite teachings and programming in order to lead.” He replied without emotion.

“So you’ve got a fancy supercomputer and it just makes you pull the same succession shit we’ve been doing for centuries?” Glenn replied with a raised eyebrow.

“What do you want? Is it not enough to deprive our people of your water despite our demands?”

“Your demands that we become your slaves?!” Glenn shot up to his feet.

“That you follow our orders and be welcomed into our superior culture.” Despite the lack of change in his tone, Fuji was keenly aware of the Xilien’s face scrunching up in anger.

“Well we have demands of our own, and you will gain access to Earth’s water if you follow them.” The calmer of the two astronauts cut in, trying to ensure things did not escalate. “Are you willing to listen?”

“Continue.”

“First. The people of Planet X are to accept and accommodate numerous human visitors, and allow them complete access to all your facilities and data in order to ensure complete transparency.” No reply, which Fuji took as a signal to keep speaking. “Second. The Xiliens will share all of their technological advances with humanity.”

“We were not being truthful when we spoke of a cure to all diseases.” The Controller replied. “Our bodies are partially mechanized, and the landscape is too barren to produce bacteria and viruses regardless. We have no reason to create cures.”

Glenn drummed his fingers against the desk. “We still want whatever you do have. Are these terms agreeable,” he put a sardonic emphasis on that last word, “enough for you so far?”

“Yes.”

“Oh-ho, just you wait.” The American responded, before turning his head towards his comrade. He turned back, a smile adorning his face that bordered on sadistic. “Third. Shut down your supercomputer. The one that controls your species.”

“What?” Left the new Controller’s lips after a brief pause. Confusion filled the exclamation, genuine emotion emerging.

“You heard me.”

“That’s ridiculous.” The monotone speech was back, but Fuji could swear he heard a subtle shakiness to it. “Our kind relies upon it. It makes all of our decisions and guides us, you cannot seriously expect us to shut it down.”

“It told you to attack humanity instead of bartering with us, so the bigwigs back home want it shut down.” Glenn replied. The two humans knew that to not be the full truth, for while that had been a decree by the United Nations, the seed of the idea was planted by Glenn himself.

“It makes the most logical decisions based off the stimulus given. In the scenario where we cannot deceive you and you are our equals in technology, there is no point in shutting the computer down when it will demand compliance of us.”

“Shut. It. Down.” Venom dripped from the words.

“What are we to do without it? You are suggesting our kind is cut off from the guidance we have abided by since before any of our currently living members were born.” Desperation seeped into the new Controller’s speech, tinging them away from their supposedly required soullessness.

“What will you do? Live! You people will finally be able to live, feel emotions, have hearts! Is that not enough? For God’s sake, we’re doing you a favor!”

“Casting my people adrift into your kind’s tumultuous nature is not a favor!” The Xilien slammed a gloved fist onto his desk, rising to his feet. “Change that term and we will have a deal, our people will co-exis-“

“There is no coexistence with that goddamned computer still functioning!” Glenn pulled out the disk, his finger pressing down onto the button. Fuji cringed as a horribly high-pitched sound rang out, sending the Controller to the floor. He writhed as he curled up into the fetal position. The ruler of a mighty kind, reduced to a pitiable ball on the tiled floor.

“Turn it off!” The tormented alien shouted.

Glenn screamed back. “Not until you swear to turn that damn supercomputer off! I don’t care if I have to hold this until your head explodes! Turn it off!”

Fuji could only cover his ears and watch. He wanted to step in, stop what he knew deep down was wrong, but he could not bring himself to do so. It felt like weights were on his feet, but they paled in comparison to the one on his heart.

“Alright, alright!” The Xilien screamed from the depths of his lungs. “I’ll do it, just please, make it stop! Please!”

And thus, the American astronaut did so. A maddened smile revealed his teeth, and looking upon it was the most horrified his companion had ever been. As the Xilien struggled to catch his breath and rise up, Fuji mused on the nature of love. A beautiful thing, yes, but it could dredge up the darkest parts of the soul that were normally buried deep within. Glenn was one of the kindest men he knew, and so it was like he was looking upon a complete stranger.

***

He’d had a hollow pit in his chest the entire time he was on this planet since Namikawa’s passing. As Glenn watched the Xiliens maneuver about the colossal construct of black steel coated in varying lights and buttons before him, working to cease its operations, it only deepened.

He saw how Fuji looked at him, and he could not blame him. His treatment of the new Controller disgusted even him, but he pressed onwards regardless. This would benefit them in the long run, that was what he kept telling himself, even as he sank deeper. That leader stood close to him, expression hard to discern, but he could feel the fear radiating off him.

Glenn remembered Namikawa’s fear, as she pleaded with him to marry her and faced her demise for his sake. It hardened his heart and strengthened his resolve.

The lights dimmed, leaving the computer a dull mass. Silence was only broken by intense breathing from every Xilien present, faces contorting in anxiety. They felt a new hollowness, as if part of their brain had been torn away. What was replacing it was new and uncertain, and they feared it gravely. They could barely think of how to describe it, the feeling of the computer’s perpetual hum in the back of their mind being now gone and allowing these strange sensations to creep in and take its place.

“Turn it back on!” One screamed, rushing forwards.

Glenn moved like a man possessed, ripping a gun out of a nearby Xilien’s hip holster. He pointed it at the computer, squeezing the trigger. A blue ray of light shot forth, crashing into it and boring into the metal of the device. The workers upon the computer fled as an explosion rippled across it, tearing the outside asunder and revealing now wrecked innards. Glenn kept firing, causing more bursts upon the centerpiece of Xilien civilization until it collapsed under its own weight, bursting into flame.

Despite a chorus of panic and roaring fire, Glenn could only hear his heart thudding in his ears and the sound of his heavy breathing.

Coming soon...ish. Maybe.
Spoiler:
Compared to the sea, the chaos on the beach was moderate, though still unorganised and dangerous for those without the ability to quickly remove themselves from the area. Resort staff and life guards were immediately on hand to escort the people off of the sands to put as much distance between them and the oncoming surge as possible. Many did not resist and obeyed their instructions, fleeing for the shelter of the main resort complex or the surrounding jungle. Others chose to stay and offer their services to the nervous staff, aware that they alone in such small numbers would not be able to control the flux in stampeding tourists. If order was not obtained fast enough, the consequences would be catastrophic.

The tidal wave hit the shore like a stampede of elephants, flattening everything and everyone that stood in the way of their panic-induced charge. Umbrellas, beach chairs and sand castles not already crushed by the exodus of beachgoers were flattened under hundreds of surging, scrambling bodies, each giving the minimum amount of regard to one another as they did to the ground beneath them. Like in the ocean, the weakest were suffocated under the weight of others, with the results far more gruesome with the inclusion of a solid surface for their bodies to be pressed into.

The shoreline had not yet been fully cleared by the time that the crowd made landfall, populated by slow or injured strangers, still being aided to safety by allies and strangers alike. A few of the tourists had been buried under the sand as a prank, but now the same would-be pranksters were rushing to dig up their trapped colleagues. The front line of guards made their stand against the out of control horde, first trying to call for order, but their voices were instantly lost over the din of terrified screams. Staff and volunteers alike had to resort to force to hold back the masses, using their own bodies and all of their strength to push back the tide in any measure possible. Even if they could not hold them back completely, their resistance would ideally divert the flow of its momentum, driving them to go around and thereby spare the strangling evacuees from getting trampled.

It didn’t take very long for the waters to empty and the beach to become packed once again, but the squids’ hunt continued nonetheless, pursuing their prey almost blindly into the restricting shallows. The voracious beasts licked at the rear of the crowd, picking off the ones who lagged behind and the limp forms of those beaten into unconsciousness or to death, displaying no discrimination about the condition of their acquired prizes. As the last of the mob crawled clear of the lapping waves, the panic finally started to subside, and the people greedily drank in this moment of relief.

The ocean, too, instantly calmed now it was clean of further victims for the subaquatic terrors, allowing the survivors to further drop their guard and relax, catching their breath while the wounded were attended to. At last, as horrible as it had been, the experience was over, ensuring that as a holiday never to be forgotten.

And the squids were keen to enforce this.

Without warning, several tendrils burst out from the surf, snagging around the heel of an unexpecting man resting by the shore. Before they even had a chance to scream, the limbs yanked their new captive back with such force that it carried them into the air, falling into the swarm of remaining tentacles. Others of the cephalopod’s kind were quick to copy its tactics and partake in the banquet, refusing to allow something as simple as leaving the water to deny them their prey. The gathered were swift to get up, consumed by terror once more as they fled from the water’s edge, though not before many unfortunate souls had been ensnared and dragged away to their unclear fate.

Even with the humans now moving further inland, the predators still refused to give up the hunt, their driving hunger seemingly insatiable. Pushed on by determination, the cephalopods breached the surface, abandoning the need for subterfuge with nowhere left to hide themselves, and then, to the absolute shock of all witnesses, the creatures hauled themselves out of the ocean and onto land and started to crawl across the sands after the fleeing population. They were not swift, only able to slither at a pace just over normal walking speed, but their sluggish nature was substituted by the range of their limbs, meaning all the abnormally-sized molluscs needed to do was reach out, grab and pull any unsuspecting victims into their bundle of tentacles, each squid snatching up two or three holidayers before sliding back towards the ocean. The packed beach was quickly emptying of bodies once again.

One woman in particular struggled to keep ahead of the hunters, desperately searching for the correct path to safety amidst the zigzagging crowd. Patches of fresh blood mixed with sand stained the locks of blonde hair across her left side, though none of it belonged to the exhausted woman. She limped along with her right foot dragging slightly, its swollen and bruised ankle betraying the potential sprain earned in the chaos predating the exodus from the water.

“It’s okay, baby. Momma’s gonna keep you safe,” she whispered to the tiny figure wrapped between her arms and bosom. “Just keep your head down a little longer.”

The frightened girl did not resist, unwilling to disregard her mother’s warning for a second time. Looking back over her shoulder, Samantha’s mother locked eyes with the peculiar orbs of a hunting squid clambering across the wangled remains of several tanning heads. Its gaze intensified with interest, picking out the wounded woman and her daughter as its latest target with a growl of excitement.

Martha gasped and turned back as the creature charged, clambering its way towards the pair at a far greater pace than her slow hobbling. Hot tears ran across her face, each step forcing jolts of agony up her leg as she was forced to put more pressure onto the injured foot to try and keep ahead of the pursuing beast, hoping that it might lose track of her if she rejoined the fleeing mob.

One misplaced step was all it took for the woman’s foot to slip out from under her and send the pair toppling onto the sand. As they fell, Martha purposefully twisted herself so that her right side would take the brunt of the fall, sparing any damage to her daughter at the cost of a loud crack of bone. She screamed as the sensation of sheer agony shot through her collar and arm, the limb losing all strength and falling limp to the side. The exposed child cried out loudly as her mother’s pained whimpers flooded her ears, which further excited the trailing predator as it closed the distance, the limbs not supporting its weight twitching with anticipation.

Martha fought through the veil of pain and attempted to stand, only to fall back against the ground, further inciting Samantha’s cries of distress. She couldn’t stand up and hold onto her daughter with only one functioning arm, meaning there were only two choices available to the injured woman. The thought of abandoning her child as bait crossed her mind… and was instantly rejected.

Hugging her crying baby close, she closed her eyes and waited as the colossal squid loomed overhead, feeling the warm droplets of tar and drool splatter against her bare skin as its depraved tentacles reached out for them.

”SKREEEE!”

An intense scream of agony flooded her ears, and she felt something warm and wet splash against her midriff. She opened her eyes and found that the pair of them were unscathed, and the squid was no longer standing over them. Instead, the creature now hung back from the pair, with several of its tentacles wrapped around its body seemingly as a protective measure. Blue liquid leaked from the ragged hole that was once its right eye socket, the remains of which she realised was what now dripped down her stomach and hips.

A hand suddenly found her left bicep, and before she could make a word of protest, Martha realised she was being pulled to her feet by someone else. A quick glance revealed her saviour as an older man of Japanese heritage, hooking his left hand underneath her armpit as support, while in his right, he pointed the bloodied tip of a striped umbrella pole threateningly at the beast opposite.

“Can you run?” the stranger asked, never turning his gaze away from the recovering squid.

“Wh-” stuttered Mathra, too shaken by the encounter to quickly process the question. “N-no. My ankle…”

“We’ll take it from here.”

A man and a woman in resort uniform appeared on both sides and took over. Martha was still too dazed to resist as the woman took the trembling form of Samantha from his grasp to allow her companion to lift her uninjured arm over his own shoulders.

The squid had taken note of their action and began to uncoil, cautiously moving back towards them. The old man raised his weapon with both hands, holding it outwards like a spear to ward off the attacker. “Get them out of here,” he ordered firmly.

The resort workers refused to argue and turned towards the main hotel, with Martha limping along with the support of her assistant, though not before casting one last look at the man who had rescued them, struggling to find the words to thank him for his bravery. As her mind started to clear, she found herself thinking that the stranger seemed vaguely familiar.

Kotaro allowed a quick glance towards the retreating quartet, making sure that their path to the main complex was clear, before his gaze returned to the monstrosity that leered before him. He wasn't exactly sure of the full story behind these creatures; whether these were some kind of undiscovered deepwater species or a form of mutation derived from human interference. Their origins hardly mattered in this situation - the only relevant facts were that these things had been disturbed from their normal environment and were not afraid to add human beings to their list of deity requirements. Even if Kotaro was normally against the harm of Earth’s other denizens, this was a scenario where a peaceful solution was not available with the area’s limited resources, and the invaders had to be stopped immediately.

The wounded squid crept ever closer, perhaps hesitant to make the first move in its half-blind condition and remembering the sting of his weapon. Holding his ground, Kotaro kept the beast at bay with lunging thrusts, making sure to hold its attention in case it decided to go for another target. In the corner of his eye, a tentacle flicked towards him, and he swung around to intercept, stabbing the tip of his crude spear towards the main body of the limb. In the midst of his strike, the tentacle pulled itself backwards at the last moment, causing the elderly man to stumble from the unexpected lack of resistance and the spear stabbed into thin air. Before he could recover, another tentacle claimed its own hold on the weapon and ripped it from his clutches, knocking Kotaro onto his ass with a pained grunt.

He tried to stand up quickly, hissing from the discomfort of the growing bruises across his rear. Before he could, his surprised gaze was met by that of the gigantic cephalopod’s, hovering over the downed man with his former weapon wrapped in the grasp of two of its thick tentacles, which it proceeded to use to snap the metal pole in half as if it were but a matchstick.

Kotaro scrambled backwards, patting down the ground as he moved in search of some type of tool or weapon that could be used to defend himself as the deformed squid advanced upon him. Fear gripped his soul as the creature’s sole eye stared down with a bestial blankness, devoid of any visible emotion, its consciousness driven by the most primeval of instincts. Was this about to be it? The final end to his years of torment and depression? At least if he died at the hands of this thing, he would have the dignity of dying a hero’s death, remembered by the lives saved by his sacrifice.

Perhaps, in another life, he might have accepted that as his fate, but he saw such a possibility as nothing but the coward’s way out. There was still determination left in his system and this squid would be foolish in believing he would dishonour the good memory of those he had lost by surrendering so quickly against impossible odds. A life without certainty of success, with potential for happiness to be found, was the greater choice over a lack of a future at all.

A lifetime of physical training had hardened his body, so even in his advanced age, Kotaro would be more than able to throw hands with this monstrous brute if he was so determined. In fact, the idea wasn’t such a bad one after all. Why not show the terrors from the deep the strength and determination of a man fighting to find his own future.

A shot of crimson fired from past Kotaro’s shoulder, catching the giant cephalopod while it was distracted by the man’s defiance. Incredulously, he watched as the energy blast tore into the centre of its cranium, burning through flesh and chitin alike as if the creature’s hide was made of candle wax, and scorched clean through to the other side of its skullless head. The squid convulsed and fell, squirming its tentacles without purpose as it comprehended the immense agony, but death had already begun to claim it. With a final dying rattle, the body turned limp, its eye staring blank and glassy into the void.

Kotaro stared as he caught his breath, taking in the events which had just transpired. There shouldn’t be any weapons capable of this at a holiday hotel, much less a developing country like Jamaica, which meant it had to belong to someone either from the EDF or…

His heart leapt at the idea of meeting another one like him. He picked himself up and spun around, expecting to see the sight of another of his monster-exterminating brethren. A member from the SSSP or TAC, perhaps?

His face fell back into a blank expression of fear at the sight he met.

He wasn't exactly sure of the full story behind these creatures; whether these were some kind of undiscovered deepwater species or a form of mutation derived from human interference. Their origins hardly mattered in this situation - the only relevant facts were that these things had been disturbed from their normal environment and were not afraid to add human beings to their list of deity requirements. Even if Kotaro was normally against the harm of Earth’s other denizens, this was a scenario where a peaceful solution was not available with the area’s limited resources, and the invaders had to be stopped immediately.

The wounded squid crept ever closer, perhaps hesitant to make the first move in its half-blind condition and remembering the sting of his weapon. Holding his ground, Kotaro kept the beast at bay with lunging thrusts, making sure to hold its attention in case it decided to go for another target. In the corner of his eye, a tentacle flicked towards him, and he swung around to intercept, stabbing the tip of his crude spear towards the main body of the limb. In the midst of his strike, the tentacle pulled itself backwards at the last moment, causing the elderly man to stumble from the unexpected lack of resistance and the spear stabbed into thin air. Before he could recover, another tentacle claimed its own hold on the weapon and ripped it from his clutches, knocking Kotaro onto his ass with a pained grunt.

He tried to stand up quickly, hissing from the discomfort of the growing bruises across his rear. Before he could, his surprised gaze was met by that of the gigantic cephalopod’s, hovering over the downed man with his former weapon wrapped in the grasp of two of its thick tentacles, which it proceeded to use to snap the metal pole in half as if it were but a matchstick.

Kotaro scrambled backwards, patting down the ground as he moved in search of some type of tool or weapon that could be used to defend himself as the deformed squid advanced upon him. Fear gripped his soul as the creature’s sole eye stared down with a bestial blankness, devoid of any visible emotion, its consciousness driven by the most primeval of instincts. Was this about to be it? The final end to his years of torment and depression? At least if he died at the hands of this thing, he would have the dignity of dying a hero’s death, remembered by the lives saved by his sacrifice.

Perhaps, in another life, he might have accepted that as his fate, but he saw such a possibility as nothing but the coward’s way out. There was still determination left in his system and this squid would be foolish in believing he would dishonour the good memory of those he had lost by surrendering so quickly against impossible odds. A life without certainty of success, with potential for happiness to be found, was the greater choice over a lack of a future at all.

A lifetime of physical training had hardened his body, so even in his advanced age, Kotaro would be more than able to throw hands with this monstrous brute if he was so determined. In fact, the idea wasn’t such a bad one after all. Why not show the terrors from the deep the strength and determination of a man fighting to find his own future.

A shot of crimson fired from past Kotaro’s shoulder, catching the giant cephalopod while it was distracted by the man’s defiance. Incredulously, he watched as the energy blast tore into the centre of its cranium, burning through flesh and chitin alike as if the creature’s hide was made of candle wax, and scorched clean through to the other side of its skullless head. The squid convulsed and fell, squirming its tentacles without purpose as it comprehended the immense agony, but death had already begun to claim it. With a final dying rattle, the body turned limp, its eye staring blank and glassy into the void.

Kotaro stared as he caught his breath, taking in the events which had just transpired. There shouldn’t be any weapons capable of this at a holiday hotel, much less a developing country like Jamaica, which meant it had to belong to someone either from the EDF or…

His heart leapt at the idea of meeting another one like him. He picked himself up and spun around, expecting to see the sight of another of his monster-exterminating brethren. A member from the SSSP or TAC, perhaps?

His face fell back into a blank expression of fear at the sight he met.
Spoiler:
So these are clearly Gezoras, judging by the blue blood, but who is Kotaro’s villainous savior?
I just wanted to read stories about kaiju punching each other, how did I get to this point?

Spoiler:
Compared to the sea, the chaos on the beach was moderate, though still unorganised and dangerous for those without the ability to quickly remove themselves from the area. Resort staff and life guards were immediately on hand to escort the people off of the sands to put as much distance between them and the oncoming surge as possible. Many did not resist and obeyed their instructions, fleeing for the shelter of the main resort complex or the surrounding jungle. Others chose to stay and offer their services to the nervous staff, aware that they alone in such small numbers would not be able to control the flux in stampeding tourists. If order was not obtained fast enough, the consequences would be catastrophic.

The tidal wave hit the shore like a stampede of elephants, flattening everything and everyone that stood in the way of their panic-induced charge. Umbrellas, beach chairs and sand castles not already crushed by the exodus of beachgoers were flattened under hundreds of surging, scrambling bodies, each giving the minimum amount of regard to one another as they did to the ground beneath them. Like in the ocean, the weakest were suffocated under the weight of others, with the results far more gruesome with the inclusion of a solid surface for their bodies to be pressed into.

The shoreline had not yet been fully cleared by the time that the crowd made landfall, populated by slow or injured strangers, still being aided to safety by allies and strangers alike. A few of the tourists had been buried under the sand as a prank, but now the same would-be pranksters were rushing to dig up their trapped colleagues. The front line of guards made their stand against the out of control horde, first trying to call for order, but their voices were instantly lost over the din of terrified screams. Staff and volunteers alike had to resort to force to hold back the masses, using their own bodies and all of their strength to push back the tide in any measure possible. Even if they could not hold them back completely, their resistance would ideally divert the flow of its momentum, driving them to go around and thereby spare the strangling evacuees from getting trampled.

It didn’t take very long for the waters to empty and the beach to become packed once again, but the squids’ hunt continued nonetheless, pursuing their prey almost blindly into the restricting shallows. The voracious beasts licked at the rear of the crowd, picking off the ones who lagged behind and the limp forms of those beaten into unconsciousness or to death, displaying no discrimination about the condition of their acquired prizes. As the last of the mob crawled clear of the lapping waves, the panic finally started to subside, and the people greedily drank in this moment of relief.

The ocean, too, instantly calmed now it was clean of further victims for the subaquatic terrors, allowing the survivors to further drop their guard and relax, catching their breath while the wounded were attended to. At last, as horrible as it had been, the experience was over, ensuring that as a holiday never to be forgotten.

And the squids were keen to enforce this.

Without warning, several tendrils burst out from the surf, snagging around the heel of an unexpecting man resting by the shore. Before they even had a chance to scream, the limbs yanked their new captive back with such force that it carried them into the air, falling into the swarm of remaining tentacles. Others of the cephalopod’s kind were quick to copy its tactics and partake in the banquet, refusing to allow something as simple as leaving the water to deny them their prey. The gathered were swift to get up, consumed by terror once more as they fled from the water’s edge, though not before many unfortunate souls had been ensnared and dragged away to their unclear fate.

Even with the humans now moving further inland, the predators still refused to give up the hunt, their driving hunger seemingly insatiable. Pushed on by determination, the cephalopods breached the surface, abandoning the need for subterfuge with nowhere left to hide themselves, and then, to the absolute shock of all witnesses, the creatures hauled themselves out of the ocean and onto land and started to crawl across the sands after the fleeing population. They were not swift, only able to slither at a pace just over normal walking speed, but their sluggish nature was substituted by the range of their limbs, meaning all the abnormally-sized molluscs needed to do was reach out, grab and pull any unsuspecting victims into their bundle of tentacles, each squid snatching up two or three holidayers before sliding back towards the ocean. The packed beach was quickly emptying of bodies once again.

One woman in particular struggled to keep ahead of the hunters, desperately searching for the correct path to safety amidst the zigzagging crowd. Patches of fresh blood mixed with sand stained the locks of blonde hair across her left side, though none of it belonged to the exhausted woman. She limped along with her right foot dragging slightly, its swollen and bruised ankle betraying the potential sprain earned in the chaos predating the exodus from the water.

“It’s okay, baby. Momma’s gonna keep you safe,” she whispered to the tiny figure wrapped between her arms and bosom. “Just keep your head down a little longer.”

The frightened girl did not resist, unwilling to disregard her mother’s warning for a second time. Looking back over her shoulder, Samantha’s mother locked eyes with the peculiar orbs of a hunting squid clambering across the wangled remains of several tanning heads. Its gaze intensified with interest, picking out the wounded woman and her daughter as its latest target with a growl of excitement.

Martha gasped and turned back as the creature charged, clambering its way towards the pair at a far greater pace than her slow hobbling. Hot tears ran across her face, each step forcing jolts of agony up her leg as she was forced to put more pressure onto the injured foot to try and keep ahead of the pursuing beast, hoping that it might lose track of her if she rejoined the fleeing mob.

One misplaced step was all it took for the woman’s foot to slip out from under her and send the pair toppling onto the sand. As they fell, Martha purposefully twisted herself so that her right side would take the brunt of the fall, sparing any damage to her daughter at the cost of a loud crack of bone. She screamed as the sensation of sheer agony shot through her collar and arm, the limb losing all strength and falling limp to the side. The exposed child cried out loudly as her mother’s pained whimpers flooded her ears, which further excited the trailing predator as it closed the distance, the limbs not supporting its weight twitching with anticipation.

Martha fought through the veil of pain and attempted to stand, only to fall back against the ground, further inciting Samantha’s cries of distress. She couldn’t stand up and hold onto her daughter with only one functioning arm, meaning there were only two choices available to the injured woman. The thought of abandoning her child as bait crossed her mind… and was instantly rejected.

Hugging her crying baby close, she closed her eyes and waited as the colossal squid loomed overhead, feeling the warm droplets of tar and drool splatter against her bare skin as its depraved tentacles reached out for them.

”SKREEEE!”

An intense scream of agony flooded her ears, and she felt something warm and wet splash against her midriff. She opened her eyes and found that the pair of them were unscathed, and the squid was no longer standing over them. Instead, the creature now hung back from the pair, with several of its tentacles wrapped around its body seemingly as a protective measure. Blue liquid leaked from the ragged hole that was once its right eye socket, the remains of which she realised was what now dripped down her stomach and hips.

A hand suddenly found her left bicep, and before she could make a word of protest, Martha realised she was being pulled to her feet by someone else. A quick glance revealed her saviour as an older man of Japanese heritage, hooking his left hand underneath her armpit as support, while in his right, he pointed the bloodied tip of a striped umbrella pole threateningly at the beast opposite.

“Can you run?” the stranger asked, never turning his gaze away from the recovering squid.

“Wh-” stuttered Mathra, too shaken by the encounter to quickly process the question. “N-no. My ankle…”

“We’ll take it from here.”

A man and a woman in resort uniform appeared on both sides and took over. Martha was still too dazed to resist as the woman took the trembling form of Samantha from his grasp to allow her companion to lift her uninjured arm over his own shoulders.

The squid had taken note of their action and began to uncoil, cautiously moving back towards them. The old man raised his weapon with both hands, holding it outwards like a spear to ward off the attacker. “Get them out of here,” he ordered firmly.

The resort workers refused to argue and turned towards the main hotel, with Martha limping along with the support of her assistant, though not before casting one last look at the man who had rescued them, struggling to find the words to thank him for his bravery. As her mind started to clear, she found herself thinking that the stranger seemed vaguely familiar.

Kotaro allowed a quick glance towards the retreating quartet, making sure that their path to the main complex was clear, before his gaze returned to the monstrosity that leered before him. He wasn't exactly sure of the full story behind these creatures; whether these were some kind of undiscovered deepwater species or a form of mutation derived from human interference. Their origins hardly mattered in this situation - the only relevant facts were that these things had been disturbed from their normal environment and were not afraid to add human beings to their list of deity requirements.

Actually, I think those are the giant squids from GTS. It mentions tar, which they use to help feed

Here's something I've been working on! I had it in the back of my mind for a while, but it took Match 435 to come out for me to finally put the thing down to paper... Err, Google Doc. :P
Spoiler:
Osaka, Japan.

Shoved straight through the famous palace, King Ghidorah landed flat on his back, his three heads flailing as they all eyed the silver-and-red hero just ahead. The humanoid from M78 stood tall, the sun radiating his skin.

Ultraman was not alone, three others marching toward the downed dragon like soldiers. A pair of wings came from overhead, dropping down on a nearby building while laughing at the extraterrestrial “conqueror”. And on each side of the heroic agent, were two more dinosaurian creatures, filled to the brim with radioactive power. Each stood at, or at least near 100 meters tall, towering even over the largest of blue whales.

Born into the power of the atom bomb, Godzilla’s dorsal plates flashed blue as he brought forth his reserves. The atomic breath streaming from his mouth hit Ghidorah’s chest and turned his golden scales into black slag, earning cries of pain from all three vocal cords. Adding insult to injury, Rodan spat out a green stream of gas that ignited the ray, an explosion covering the alien’s entire body. And yet, despite the massive, burning stings covering his entire body, the Golden Demise still stood tall.

Yet, standing on shaky legs, Anguirus took the time to try and slam him back into the ground. Condensing until he was almost thin enough to be a 2D object, he raced toward the three-headed dragon and sliced into already open wounds, with Ultraman also joining with his own Ultra Slash attack. Blood sprayed and coated Ghidorah’s body, his manes suddenly turning a crimson red. His Gravity Bolts tried to fire at all four foes, but they had effortlessly dodged out of harm's way, albeit leaving the buildings to get demolished in the process.

Rushing back in, Godzilla’s hands suddenly twitched as electricity coursed through his fingertips. Slamming his claws into Ghidorah’s body, the currents racing throughout every muscle and forcing them to lock up. Left wide open, Rodan’s mouth opened as a violet light came from within. In tandem, Ultraman’s arms drifted to the side, his veins turning blue as rays of light transferred towards his hands.

Needless to say, the already weakened King Ghidorah could not have hoped to handle the combined Spacium Beam and Uranium Heat Ray at once.

Still, he had survived worse; but knew when to retreat. Merely snarling, he took to the skies on battered wings until he disappeared into the clouds. Make no mistake, he would return…

Someone had to make sure he stayed away from Earth, however, and only one of them could properly travel into outer space. And with the Earth saved yet again, Ultraman had declared his time here a job well done. Merely turning around and waving goodbye to those he had called friends, he soared into the air and eventually raced into the heavens, entering the atmosphere as he curled into a ball and activated his traveling sphere.

Another battle won, but to the trio, it was simply just another day. Rodan had stretched his wings as if he had just gone for an exercise instead of any fight for his life, leaping off the ground and looking towards the horizon. Anguirus had shook off all of the soot covering his carapace, trying to shake loose the ones caught between the bed of spikes, eventually following Rodan towards the open sea, albeit at his own, slower pace. Only one of them stayed still, eyeing the destruction around him.

Godzilla had a closer attachment to mankind than most kaiju did. His first interaction was with a human; one he had seen as something akin to a surrogate mother. Even with both his adoptive father and brother quickly stepping into his life, he couldn’t bring himself to fully hate mankind. His father had, however, with hatred a thousand times more powerful than the nuclear bombs that had given both he and himself the radiation coated body they had been given. But he had passed on long ago, and his son was determined not to continue the cycle of rage that had kept monsters and men at war for as long as time could remember.

Whether or not humans had truly accepted their presence, he would never know for sure. But the world’s creatures being welcomed at one large, island home told him perhaps progress was being made after all…

Snapped out of his trance by two howls telling him to get going, Godzilla blinked wildly for a second before eyeing his two friends giving him rather odd looks. Putting away his inner turmoil, he quickly went to join them both, admittedly somewhat exhausted after today's events. Maybe he could clear his head once he had taken a nap…

******

Sometime later, in the vacuum of space.

Having successfully driven Ghidorah away from Earth’s Solar System, Ultraman’s only remaining task was to head home. The nebula of M78 was lightyears away, but that was barely any issue when one could fly faster than light itself could begin to move. The planets, moons and stars shot past him as if they were spears soaring across the darkened sky, and his sheer speed heated up his body amongst the below zero temperatures of outer space.

Most beings in the universe would probably be driven to tears if they could witness the beauty of the cosmos like he could, but he had flown past this macrocosm so many times, it had long since lost its charm. Nothing comforted him about outer space anymore. It was where the most hostile forces hid, and cradled anyone who moved within it with a sense of loneliness he couldn’t begin to describe with words.

That was why he had begun to spend more time within the planets within it, to explore, study, and perhaps, befriend those who were bound to their homeworlds. If malevolent forces could strike at any time, they would need someone there to help and protect them; even the ones that could usually hold their own. Some, like humanity, needed guidance to send them away from the conflict-filled path that kept them shackled. And others, like the many monsters who roamed the planets, could learn to step away from solitude, and trust in both him and one another. That was why he had become so close to those who had become residents of Monster Island; perhaps the prime example of how the creatures were not mindless beasts.

If only more of the residents of the Land of Light thought that way….

“LIPIAH!”

Case and point….

Floating just above his head, was a gold-and-black figure who looked almost like a perfect clone of Lipiah. Arms folded, he had gone down to his level. Even with his ever unchanging face, Ultraman could tell Zoffy wasn’t happy.

“Where have you been?” He had scolded, almost as if he was a father to his son. “Where do you keep scurrying off to everyday!?”

“Haven’t I told you this already?” Lipiah stated, confused. “I said I was exploring all of the planets I had missed not long ago.”

“So, you’re basically saying you’re frollicking away to play with your “friends?”

Almost offended by the taunt, Lipiah still kept a stall stance as he had entered yet another debate. “Perhaps I have. What does it matter to you? You seemed fine with me patrolling Earth the last time we talked.”

Zoffy’s tone, however, was still insistent. “That was because the last time we talked one on one was after your trial. One, quite frankly, you were lucky enough to live to see, considering the circumstances… But that does not matter. Point is, your sentence would be lessened if you went ahead to help humanity defend itself. So, why is it that you’re now…?”

“Ah, now I see. You mean the monsters? Admittedly, I was keeping away from them for a while, but I eventually realized something! I was soaring towards Fukuoka one day to take care of a threat, and one of the residents of Monster Island was there too. I was preparing myself to take on both of them at once, but then…. Something peculiar happened.”

******

Three months prior. Fukuoka, Japan.

Drilling noises filled the air as Megalon threatened to pierce them both through Godzilla’s heart. The King of the Monsters kept his distance, but his spines had flashed blue as his own warning. So focused on each other, neither was aware of the third presence making its way towards the vicinity at a break-neck pace.

Ultraman had landed on the beach not too far from both kaiju, eyeing the two of them to see which one may have been the larger threat. Megalon was bulkier, and seemed to be the one causing more overall destruction. On the other hand, he had become very aware of Godzilla’s reputation. A behemoth born from man’s greatest sin, and a son who very well could have been planning to continue the wrath of the father. Perhaps that alone made him the bigger target.

Not that he had anymore time to think, for Megalon had quickly gotten sight of his presence and had begun to charge up his Beast Killer Beam accordingly….

Eyes widening in shock, Ultraman had managed to teleport out of harm's way, leaving the yellow rod of lightning to strike nothing but sand and water. Confused by the sudden disappearance, the massive beetle turned around to find his newest foe, only to receive a swift right hook to the side of his face. Having knocked his enemy to a floor in a daze, Ultraman had prepared to strike again, only to be pulled back by the other threat right next to him. Godzilla had grabbed him by the wrist, and Lipiah had immediately thought the dinosaur was planning to bite his head off with his two rows of teeth.

Yet, when he had looked into Godzilla’s eyes, something had appeared off. He did not see the consistent rage of a maddened beast. Rather, he saw intelligence. A creature genuinely curious when it eyed something he wasn’t sure of the origin.

But fight or flight instincts had still taken hold of the monster exterminator’s body, and he had forced himself away from the massive reptile. Everything had told him to attack, and indeed, he had even spawned an Ultra Slash in his hands as a means of offense. But Godzilla did not retaliate. He had barely moved an inch. And Lipiah had sworn he had almost seen a look of hurt on his face. If Godzilla wanted to massacre his body, he almost certainly would have by now.

So, when his weapon had disappeared, and he simply walked up to the monster again, he tried to see what he would do next.

Godzilla was much bigger than Ultraman, so for the latter, it was almost as if he were an average man staring up at a massive grizzly bear. But they seemed to have come towards an understanding. Neither one saw true malice hidden underneath the surface. Kindred spirits.

And when Megalon finally got back to his feet, a decision was made. There would be no three way battle here. Rather, two forces would join to make sure those who wish to harm the planet could never do so again.

Needless to say, Megalon had gone back towards Seatopia with his tail tucked between his legs that day.

******

“I guess after that, I had started to see them more as allies. I had begun to join them more on their adventures, partially to see how they would react, and all of them had gotten along rather well with me. I do not see the harm in continuing an alliance if everything is telling me it's working.”

“Well… I suppose not.” Zoffy said, in a tone that almost reeked of defeat. “But I can’t help but feel worried about you. We can’t guarantee every monster you meet will eventually see you as an ally!”

“But it's obvious I have already gained plenty.” Lipiah had argued back. I don’t mean just me either. Every monster the humans have already rounded up has long since put any aggression they have had for one another behind them. It’s not like they were forced to be put inside a giant gladiator ring.”

“And I’m not saying what you say isn’t the truth. What I’m getting at is that it might be more complex than you let on. Intelligent as they may be, they are still ultimately bound by animalistic instinct. They do not see everything the same way you and I do; so there’s no real way to define if they truly view your “friendship” the same way you or I do.”

For a moment, Lipiah stayed silent. What Zoffy said very well could have been the truth. Yet, even if it was, could it really have been outright manipulation on their part? Or, maybe they simply just saw him in a light he couldn’t really comprehend?

“Well, regardless, your teaming up with them has broken your rules for still defending planet Earth; but I know you would rather not force yourself back into a courtroom. So, I will give you the choice. Either you can serve a second trial, or you can merely stop interacting with the monsters unless we tell you otherwise….”

A rock and a hard place was how Lipiah saw it, and he didn’t like either option one bit. But most of the time, there was no taking a third option with Zoffy. He was always straight to the point and when he made a decision, he would stick with it. He simply didn’t have the same fascination Ultraman did with the “lesser” life in the universe; in anything, he feared the capabilities of some of them. The two of them had stopped looking eye to eye long ago.

But, despite Zoffy’s hardened exterior, he still held a respect, of sorts, for them. The ones who were tenacious and showed soul and spirit. But he would never get that respect for them if he couldn’t see that for himself.

So, the task at hand was simple then.

“Humor me for a second.” Ultraman had said, his determination seemingly unwavering once more. “What if I can prove to you that Earth’s monsters are capable of true good?”

“I…. beg your pardon?”

Genuinely bewildered by the comment, Zoffy’s eyes looked like they were about to burst out of his head. “Lipiah, I have no time for such games! Stop toying with me and-”

“Don’t think of this as a game! Think of it as a potential learning experience. If you’re so curious about how the beings of Earth operate, why don’t you try to see for yourself for a change? You can’t just sit here and get into arguments with me over if my ways are right twenty four seven. You need to see what I see.”

Zoffy was silent, contemplating the choice. Earth’s life had surprised him before, but the monsters were not part of that. There was no guarantee of what he would find, or if the end results would be worth it. Yet, despite his doubts, he too was, ironically, being driven by an old, primeval desire. One that had driven him to say yes despite every other instinct telling him no.

Curiosity.

“Well…. Okay.” The golden humanoid had said, although he still wanted to play a larger role than bystander. “But I want to play a part in this myself. I will set the stage and test the character of the planet’s kaiju myself. If they pass the test I set for them, you are free to befriend them as you wish. If not, you shall be forced to split apart.”

Risky as it was, Lipiah didn’t see any better options. “I accept! What do you wish to do?”

“If your “allies” are so keen to respond to threats, then they should respond to what I have in mind immediately.” Zoffy explained. “But I won’t put the innocent at risk. They won’t have to go to the enemy. I will send the enemy to them.”

With a wave of his hand, he had summoned a rather big capsule that had quickly floated next towards the two denizens of light. Ultraman had recognized it almost immediately, and he was far from happy to see it. Not that Zoffy was expecting him to.

“WHAT!? You’d bring the Suppression Weapon back to Earth just to prove your point!?” Lipah shouted, appalled.

“Relax. The Ultimate Suppression mode will be deactivated for this mission.” Zoffy tried to calm his nerves, his golden hand grasping the capsule slightly. “After all, I doubt any of the beings on Earth could possibly reach high enough to reach him in that form. But they will become instantaneously aware of its destructive potential, and it will likely respond in such ways. But will they work together in a time of crisis, or will it ultimately be a situation where it is everyone for themselves? That is what I will try to get the answers to.”

Sending the capsule forth, the cocoon for the Chariot of Fire shot across the galaxy so fast, one perhaps could have mistaken it for a comet. Its course was a familiar one to it; and its coordinates had quickly guided it towards the Earthling Solar System. Too fast for most radars to properly lock onto, it would reach its desired destination long before anyone would even realize it was sent out at all.

“We will go undercover, watching it all go down while making sure none are aware of our presence. And I’m sure this goes without saying, but I’d much prefer if this was a fight you do not interfere with.” Zoffy’s voice was still rather cold, but Lipiah could sense something else within his tone. It was an odd, perhaps even misplaced, sense of excitement. An emotion Lipiah wasn’t sure Zoffy had felt in eons at this point. Having grown so distant from most and always going towards the nuclear option when it came to potential threats, Zoffy had long since forced himself into a depressed routine. But now, something has broken it. It was akin to a scientist performing an experiment for the first time.

“Come now! We have no time to waste!” Shooting off, the gold-and-black Ultra was nearly gone in an instant, leaving his red-and-silver counterpart behind. A bid to see how much his own kindness affected those on Earth had yet again gone horribly wrong. And while the stakes were not world ending, he had realized too late he was roping in those innocent into something much bigger than he had bargained for.

Sighing, he only hoped things wouldn’t go wrong as he raced to catch up with Zoffy.

Monster Island. 2:25 PM

Summer had arrived, and had it not been for a decent breeze keeping things cool, one would assume it would be too blistering hot for any of the residents to be active. Thankfully, it had kept them all cool and allowed them to have some fun in the sun.

Standing over a hill, Godzilla watched the others frolic and move about with a look of content. While he still wondered if he was truly fit to be seen as their ruler, he had grown a fondness for almost everyone who had called the island home, one way or another.

Soaring overhead, Varan let the wind hit his face as he went hunting for a good meal, his shadow covering a portion of the jungle until he finally hit land. Not too far from him, Gorosaurus cooled off beneath the larger foliage, the evolved Allosaurus took an afternoon snooze as his tail softly curled under the bark. A bit further off, the arachnid, Kumonga, had caught a few larger animals from underground and had wrapped up their corpses inside of his yellow webbing. While it had taken the former predator of Solgell Island to get used to his new surroundings, he seemed to have finally grown content with the land and the others that resided in it.

Roaming the mountains were a swarm of Kamacuras’, the green mantises using their camouflage to stalk their own prey. They were probably the ones to be wary of the most, for even just three of them would be enough to potentially give someone major injuries.

Those that were more used towards aquatic areas had plenty of room for themselves. Tossing a rock into the air, a serpentine body encircled the waves until his tail sent it soaring the other direction. This was Manda; the former Guardian of Mu, although his whiskers and grand emerald scales very well still made him look like a god. After having a run-in with mankind that had left him frozen decades prior, he was dethawed and sent to live with his fellow colossi, who he seemed to appreciate their company.

Also playing toss in the ocean was Maguma, a kaiju who usually wasn’t used to such heated temperatures and was almost always in the sea to keep himself cool during the Summer season. Truth be told, Godzilla couldn’t quite tell whether he was a mammal or a reptilian, but he had no quarrels with the tusked monster regardless.

With Maguma tossing the rock away with his headbutt, it rounded out the oceanic trio. Catching the rock with his larger claw and passing it back to Manda, the enlarged crustacean served the ball at speeds it only appeared as a blur. Ebirah always tried to live the simple life, wanting nothing more but to feast and play with his friends. His presence on Monster Island actually stemmed from a rescue mission, when Godzilla had managed to save the crab from the mind control of the Red Bamboo terrorist organization. Ebirah had pledged his allegiance with the dinosaur ever since.

Behind Godzilla, hidden decently well in a cave, was a cocoon. A rather colorful cocoon, and one with divine implications. Mothra had arrived on the island not long ago, hatching after her mother had passed away. The baby of the bunch, she was taking care of well in her larval stage, until she finally reached the point of metamorphosis. It had been a lengthy process, one going on for nearly a week at this point, and everyone had taken turns watching her just to make sure everything was going okay.

Yet, despite it all, Godzilla didn’t believe he would have made it this far without the help of his two, closest friends.

Anguirus was the first one he ever truly called a companion, having encountered him merely a month after the passing of his father. He had never felt more lonely since then, never having met someone before who wasn’t merely trying to give him a fight. The ankylosaur had grown solitary, his radioactive body alone being enough to drive most lifeforms towards cancer. And while his smaller head meshed with his larger body admittedly looked a bit funny at first, it wasn’t long until Godzilla realized he had met a kindred spirit.

Together, they had traveled the world, looking for a new purpose in life. They had braved blistering heat, and cold far below zero, but eventually, it had led them towards a place called Iwato Island. There, they had nearly become food for the insects that had made their nest there, the queen of the Meganula threatening to make both of them their deals and simultaneously steal their nuclear DNA.

And then, they met Rodan.

The flying reptile had reminded Godzilla of someone else from his youth, although they were not exactly alike. The one he remembered was smaller in size, with three royal crests on the back of his head, and his skin was ruby red. This one only had two, was large enough to be the exact same size as him, and had scales brown enough to be the same color of dirt. But he was tough, and he knew the Meganula like the back of his diamond-shaped tail. He had easily managed to drive them back and save both of their lives.

The two outsiders had actually managed to intrigue him. He had never left his island home, and very rarely did anything come towards it either. It reminded him that, despite having wings that could take him anywhere in the world, he had barely visited any of it; if only out of sheer cowardice.

But he wasn’t alone anymore. He had two others who were perhaps just as confused and scared of the wider world as he was. He admired how they went forward despite that, and joined them. Together, they were thick as thieves, a voice for the world’s underdogs, and champions of the planet. By the time they had been relocated towards Monster Island, they had been welcomed in by the human workers with little issue.

Perhaps, after all the uncertainty the world had gifted to him, everything would turn out alright. After being forced into loneliness, he was in a place where he could call everyone a companion.

Well, almost everyone.

A warbling laugh came from behind him, and he merely groaned knowing who it was. Turning around, he yet again glared at Monster Island’s resident bully. A massive, overgrown toad who carried characteristics of the ogres of myth. Nobody was exactly sure where he had come from, or why he ever acted like he did, but he was a massive thorn on the side.

Yet, how Gabara kept on trying to challenge Godzilla for the throne was almost admirable.

Clenching his fist as a sign he was ready, the amphibian howled a challenge again; though no one really paid him much mind. Frankly, they had stopped paying attention to him eons ago. Godzilla merely glared at him, already knowing what the outcome of this would be.

Racing up towards his foe, Gabara’s fist was coated in electric energy, ready to shock Godzilla until his heart stopped-!

WHAM

Until, he had received one right to his stomach instead. Doubling over, this gave Godzilla just enough time to grapple Gabara by his wart coated arm and toss him over the cliff's edge, a high pitched squeal escaping the ogre as he fell to the jungle floor with a thud.

Catching wind of this, the denizens of Monster Island howled with laughter watching it go down. It was as if each time he put up less of a fight! Yet, Gabara proved durable, and he got up with little issues. Snarling, his red eyes snapped at everyone thinking his pain was comedy, feeling the urge to pummel all of them as soon as he could. His cries radiated rage,and also issued a challenge. If they thought he was so weak, then why didn’t all of them just try to beat him down here and then!?

Already angered from his abrupt awakening, Gorosaurus’ head pierced through the trees as Rodan also swooped down from overhead. Clearly, quite a few were willing to take on that challenge. Not that it mattered for Gabara, who genuinely believed he could win the day and then some. Shaking his head, Godzilla prepared to cringe at the beatdown that was sure to follow.

…. That was, until something had caught his ear. A low, droning noise that had begun to mess with his hearing. At first, maybe he thought his mind was just messing with him. At least, until a shadow had begun to cover him, and eventually even more of the area.

The droning had turned into a mixture of alien noises, and once it broke through the clouds and reached the clouds, it became a bit more clear what it was. An odd object landed in the middle of the field, glowing a radiant gold. It appeared to be metallic, but nothing seemed to indicate it was anything made by mankind. If anything, it was too odd looking to match with a human experiment.

A sense of unease had come across Monster Island as everyone began to gather around it. Anguirus had gotten the closest, emerging from the ground next to it, but refused to get close enough to genuinely touch it. Everyone else had kept a wider distance, watching as the capsule slowly went in a circle, almost as if it was monitoring all of them.

Leaving the cliff’s edge, Godzilla slowly walked up to it. At a certain point, the glistening was almost blinding, getting into his eyes and leaving him near blind. The irradiated dinosaur had reached out a hand, a clawed finger leaving a mark and feeling the complex mechanisms from within.

Suddenly, the capsule came to life.

In a moment's notice, it had bursted and just as quickly reformed into something else entirely, and no one had enough time to comprehend it before a fireball had suddenly slammed right into Godzilla’s chest. Backing up with a cry of anguish, Anguirus had come to his aid as the bizarre force continued to change shame. It was only vaguely humanoid, and the insides of it were constantly moving. What seemed to be a spine spun into a double helix as it helped patrol the arms and legs, and its body was only covered by what appeared to be glowing breasts. Its face was as flat as a pancake, with two horns protruding from the top. It was uncanny in every possible way, and its mere appearance was enough to make everyone’s stomach drop.

Yet, it was possible that they were going to force themselves to challenge it.

The burn mark in Godzilla’s chest had closed up, and he stood tall on his two legs. He stared down the alien being, not sure what move it would try to make next, or what it was even planning to do. He had roared towards it, wondering if he would get a response.

But it did not roar in kind. Rather, it merely spoke its own name.

ZE-TTON….

Re: KWC TRAILERS!

Post by Gigantis »

What's this? A double!? I mean I've been kind of busy lately so sure, why not? One's a bit closer to being finished than the other.

One for the upcoming Superluminal Combined Weapon....
Spoiler:
It was almost miraculous what technology could do for things nearly beyond repair.

Left in space, the massive machine floated amongst the cosmos for more than a year, until it was finally rediscovered and taken towards the most highly recognized repair shop. But at a colossal 200 meters tall, was any technology capable of making it work good as new? Some of the wires holding it together were barely holding onto the hinges, and not a single limb remained.

But mankind had the blueprints, and they most certainly had the capabilities to bring it back to its former glory. Plus, with both of its pilots finally returned from hyperspace, who would be better to make sure everything would be implemented perfectly than the ones who knew how it ran like the back of their palm?

The star on its head sparkled like the sun, and its fingers moved akin to a real human being. Standing as tall as it could, its head tilted down to finish off some final repairs in the neck area, one could get a sense of just how truly enormous it was. Everyone looked up towards it in pride, happy that such an ancient relic had been restored to the world.

For Noriko Takuya, it was like seeing an old friend again.

“Wow…. You guys did a fantastic job with the big guy. It looks good as new again!” She said, overjoyed.

“And you’re absolutely welcome my dear!” Said the head of the facility, Dr. Fukuwara. He had been tracking down the location of the Gunbuster for decades, desperate to find its whereabouts. “I look forward to putting the robot back into action with you and Kazumi. If you need anything, please, let us know.”

“Will do. But please, give yourself some time to relax as well. It feels like you’ve been bouncing up and down ever since you found the thing!” Noriko had said with a chuckle.

“Have I? Well, I guess these old joints can move faster than I give myself credit for! This has been a long time coming for me. Finding the coordinates was no easy task. The only thing still left for us to figure out is if its energy attacks are still working properly.”

“So, field testing in the next couple days then? I gotcha! I’ll see you sometime tomorrow! Hopefully Kazumi is actually around by then….”

******

A bit elsewhere in the facility, the second Gunbuster pilot finally had a chance to take in her surroundings. Despite having returned to Earth quite a while ago, it still felt alien to her.

The city lights were beautiful, and a welcome return after only having the stars to guide her for so long. But it was still an adjustment for her; she had gotten too used to piloting a machine and constantly fighting. She needed to relax, and finally just take in her surroundings again, but her inner mind kept telling her to constantly be on the lookout and fight.

Why was just sitting down suddenly so hard?

“Hey there!” Said a voice that made her jump with a yelp. She had almost thrown a punch until she had realized who it was.

“O-oh! Noriko, I’m sorry. I…. kind of drifted off to my own world back there.”

“Ah, it’s fine! I was just wondering where you scuttled off to. You’ve been acting a bit off lately.” Noriko said with a hint of worry.

“Well… I guess I have a lot on my mind.” Kazumi had said with a sigh. “Now that the Gunbuster is basically done being built again, it’s taking me back to how things used to be. I’m starting to realize my body is still acting like it’s constantly looking for a fight, but we haven’t gotten to a scuffle in years at this point! It’s gotten hard-wired into my brain!”

“Hey, it’s okay. I get it. I mean we were in space for technically more than hundreds of years. All of that instinct isn’t going to just go away! Just try to give yourself a little more time; I’m sure you’ll come around.”

“I hope so. It’s just been a bit difficult for me lately. I guess it didn’t help that I was reading up on all those kaiju attacks that were happening while we were gone. I felt kind of awful that we weren’t there when all of that was going down. Maybe if we were, we could have saved everyone that needed it.”

Noriko couldn’t help but also feel her heart sink when Kazumi had mentioned the events they had missed. “Kaiju”, the beings that had emerged just after the Gunbuster took off for outer space. They had come in all shapes and sizes: some mutants from the usage of nuclear energy, others aliens that had escaped the grasp of signals and wreaked havoc on the cities of the globe. Millions had been lost over the years, all of them had come to attack, ultimately culminating in a massive battle that nearly brought everything to extinction.

But it wasn’t the kaiju that had started the “Final Wars”, it was from beyond Earth that started the grand warfare. An alien race named the “Cryogs”, who used their bioengineered attack dogs to steal the powers of those they had hoped to kill. The smaller Alpha’s stole their genomes, and merged with the larger Beta’s to become a perfect hybrid between the two entities. They were parasitic hunters, who nearly had the entire world in their hooked grasps.

Trilopods.

But, led by the “King of All Monsters”, Godzilla, and all that saw him as an ally, they struck back at their doppelgangers, going until they had reached the towering queen Magita. Soon enough, every trace of the Trilopod army was destroyed, and the Cryogs had gone back into hiding. As of now, every monster still alive was currently residing in a singular archipelago called “Monsterland” near Japan, although Nirko and Kazumi had yet to actually head their themselves.

“I know how you feel.” Noriko started in a somber tone. “We’ve missed a lot, and there’s a lot of things to regret. But it’s not like we can just jump back in time and undo everything, you know what I mean? And since all of the monsters seem to be docile now, what is there to really worry about? Have some faith, Oneesama. I’m sure everything will turn out okay.”

The smile on her face couldn’t be denied. The smile that had helped Kazumi get through another day throughout their adventures in space. The one that could only be held by her closest companion.

“You know what? Your right” Kazumi had said, returning the smirk. “What could go wrong?”

*****

Titan.

Mankind had grown beyond earth by the time the Gunbuster pilots had returned, terraforming The Moon, Mars, and every possible other natural satellite that circled the gas giants. Titan was the largest base when it came to the ones around Saturn, holding a massive laboratory that studied the other life that currently roamed the solar system.

Alas, that did not mean they were the most moral ones around.

Holding onto DNA pieces from decades prior, they decided to see if perhaps they could take the reins and make an ancient enemy an ally. Technology was used to bring them back from the grave, an entire body reformed from a single limb.

Inside of the watery capsule holding them all, a dozen Beta Trilopods peacefully slept inside, until the next steps of the plan were set into motion. On the other side, the smaller, Alpha Trilopods were very much active. And also rather hungry….

“It seems every Beta will be able to survive the hybridization process. We should be able to proceed, am I correct?” Said the head of all operations. He looked towards his subordinates, who bowed to him as a sign of his own superiority.

“Yes sir! We can begin whenever you give the green light!” One of them had said.

“Excellent…. RELEASE THE GENOME SAMPLES!”

With a singular press of a button, cans filled with the DNA of kaiju and extraterrestrial beings were sent down and opened for the Alphas to feast on, like granting food to cattle. There was no exact rhyme or rhythm to any of the DNA samples within; all of them randomized and collected from previous battles across Earth and outer space. From the strangest aliens to the most profound heroes.

Feasting on the remnants of flesh and taking in all of the new powers they had been granted, the Alphas were allowed to move towards the cans holding their larger brethren. As they opened, the remnants of Cryog society entered the waters as the Betas also began to awaken. It may have taken only seconds, but they knew what was about to happen.

They felt no fear, as it would barely hurt, or wipe away any of their previous memories. Rather, it was joining forces with two more. And as the pinch in their necks moved the DNA throughout their bodies, and the Alpha’s merged with their own, they relished as their bodies reformed into the sum of their parts. Dorsal plates emerged, three more heads popped up from their shoulders, tusks grew from the side of the mouth and eyes were replaced by bulbous orbs.

It had almost gone on without a hitch; with the only obstacle left was a surefire way to control them all. They seemed to do as told when they were guided, but an extra set of eyes had to be placed on the hoard at all times. After all, with the new influx of DNA in their systems, who knew what could truly happen?

One in particular seemed to stand out amongst the rest; and not in a good way. Covered in red and silver flesh, the yellow eyes seemed to be constantly darting, even with the lack of pupils. With a now enhanced mind, the Trilopod was suddenly having an epiphany, realizing its own situation and that it was just a pawn in its captives game. Its mind almost breaking via how much information it was absorbing so fast, it had nearly gone into a state of hyperventilation before calming itself; albeit not before freaking out the scientists first.

It would not matter in the end. It had enough of a mind to realize the situation now; and that was step one. It would figure out the rest in time, and with the help of the power from “The Man That Returned”.
.... And another for everyone's favorite God of Vengeance.
Spoiler:
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the lord.

-Romans 12:19

******

Mankind was no longer entirely wary of the giants who had predated them, but there was still much for them to learn. The Titans had laid the groundwork for many well known myths and legends, but some things were stranger than even their eyes could truly believe. They came in all shapes in sizes, some small as mice, others tall as mountains. They did not align with any other being on the planet, only seeking to destroy its world.

In Japanese folklore, they carried the name of Yokai.

Once upon a time, hundreds of the demons had joined forces and became one. And when the Titans could not stop it, something else could. A spirit possessing a grand statue of stone, shaped exactly like the greatest of samurais. Despite his physical form, he could harm even the strongest of spirits, and would hunt them down no matter the amount of pain they caused or the exact details of what they had done.

There was simply no stopping Daimajin. Not with pure rage at least.

Impossible to beat through physical means, only one thing could quelch his rage. An act of kindness, which could touch his heart enough to make him call off his attack and return to his spirit form. Without that, he would war with the wrongdoers till the end of the earth, regardless if his enemies were truly pure evil, or had simply committed one single sin.

One would think a battle between him and the Titans were inevitable, but the ones still awake when he roamed were not active around Japan like he was. And eventually, Daimajin had faded into myth and legend, forever awaiting the next time he would become active as his stories faded from the masses. But as the Titans reawoke again, other tales had come to light, and some would wonder if there was more to the story than fairy tales.

Soon, those who kept the chronicles of Daimajin in their minds would be the ones who truly brought him to the forefront. The ultimate battle between a King and a God….

******

Tokyo, Japan. November 2nd, 11:20 AM.

Smoke filled the air as the battle of giants continued to be waged. Amhuluk’s bizarre form moved around constantly as he tried to find a weakness in his foe. Its arms reached forwards as the roots making up its entire body groaned under the pressure of its movement.

And on the other side of the city, was the Alpha Titan; and the one it refused to obey.

Godzilla stared down Amhuluk with eagle-like eyes, taking note of every move it made. This was far from the first time someone had tried to disobey his authority, let alone the first held within a major human populace. But Rome had already been somewhat evacuated by the time the government got wind that Scylla and Godzilla were ready to fight, whereas Tokyo had none. And neither monster could have cared less about keeping human lives safe.

With that alone, tragedy was bound to arise….

******

“KEEP RUNNING! DON’T STOP!”

Just barely managing to hold on to the arms of his wife and lone son, Akira tried his best to stay one step ahead of the carnage just behind him. Shelter was miles away, but adrenaline kept all of them going strong, in the hopes they would live to see another day.

The sounds of jets and helicopters filled the air as they shot past the family, aiming at both Titans in an effort to keep them at bay. But beyond a few that had managed to strike Godzilla’s gills, none of them had managed to do a hint of damage. Shrugging it off, both colossi continued to try and tear the other’s body apart, blood and small bits of plant matter falling to the floor.

Pushing Amhuluk back, Godzilla’s dorsal spines were beginning to flash blue, his eyes lighting up like stars. Everyone knew what was about to happen, but they lacked the time to truly prepare. With his signature howl of superiority, Godzilla’s head shot forward as his entire form radiated in light.

The atomic ray had shot out with the force stronger than any missile on Earth.

But it didn’t hit its intended target. Amhuluk had actually managed to jump out of harm's way before it could strike, leaving a lone building to take the brunt. Split in half, the concrete and metal holding it in place melted into slag and began to fall to the ground below.

Akira couldn’t even hear the sounds of his spouse and son crying anymore. Only the sound of groaning alloy as it fell towards the ground. He was prepared to make a sacrifice, moving his hands so he could push the two of them forward.

Only to realize one of them wasn’t even there.

Because she had pushed him and his son forward instead. The two of them had landed on the ground, Akira catching his son with his arms before he hit his head on the street, but that didn’t stop the tragedy that was to come. The debris, filled with broken pipes and rods, bounced forth and managed to pierce skin, Akira’s child hit right in the stomach as he gasped from the pain.

And in front of the remaining two, they had watched as their respective wife and mother disappeared amongst the mass of what used to be a towering skyscraper. All the while both monsters still hurled at each other in an attempt to win the fight.

Eyes wide with horror, Akira’s body quaked like a leaf as his life crumbled before his eyes. He had turned towards his son, wondering what he could have even said to him, knowing he only had a single parent left.

But whatever could have come out of his mouth would not have mattered. Between the metal jammed into his abdomen, and the shock of seeing his mother meet an untimely end, he had suddenly gone into an unconscious state. His breathing was shallow, barely clinging to life.

His heart nearly stopped, and Akira had looked back towards the sky. As Amhuluk fell back to the ground, an elephantine foot stomped on its chest and kept it in place. Roaring towards the sky, Godzilla’s call of dominance easily overtook any other noise in the entirety of Tokyo.

With that, nobody could hear Akira’s cries of sorrow as he found himself alone.

******

Two weeks later

Japan was more resilient than it seemed, and the rebuilding process had gone well. Most of the buildings would either be fixed by February of next year, and the ones completely destroyed already had replacements in the early stages of development. The hospitals were thankfully still standing, so everyone that required medical attention could get it as fast as possible.

Inside of one room, a father could only pray that his son would still be breathing by the day’s end, unsure of what to do next. He looked at his arm, staring at the ring on his finger as he figured it was essentially meaningless now. What good was a symbolism of marriage if he was forced to become a widow? Akira’s mental state had been damaged, perhaps any hope of repair. Still, he fought on, if only for the hope his child would eventually awaken from his comatose state and make a full recovery.

But something else festered from within: a sense of revenge. He had no qualms with Godzilla in the past, accepted him. But with the loss of his spouse, and the potential death of his child, something had snapped, and his tolerance of the Alpha Titan had reached the last nerve. But his rage did not spread to the rest of the monsters; only the wrong he felt had wronged him.

He obviously couldn’t do something like that alone. But he knew of an old tale that could potentially do the job for him…..

*******

Near the mountains of Japan was where Akira had finally stopped, eyeing one with a grand carving edged into it. His car parked on the side of the massive road, and he stepped out and hiked until he was staring right up at it. He marveled at the three letters, knowing what, and who, they signified.





With nothing left to lose, Akira had gotten on his knees and prayed with his eyes slammed shut. He was not aware that the clouds were beginning to gather and darken in the heavens above as he did so….

“O, God of Vengeance. Hear my call. The beast of old has torn my family’s and others' lives asunder. In his quest for power, he has neglected the humans that roam this planet as well. Please, make him see the error of his thinking! Prove to him that we matter just as much! Prove that we are more than the ants put against his heel!”

In his prayer, Akira barely noticed the wind slamming against his back, and the sounds of thunder in the distance. At least, until he realized just how intense they were. Had he missed the storm forecast amongst his grief? It was relatively sunny just a few moments ago….

Suddenly, something began to shift within the mountain itself. The stone had lifted towards the ceiling until the entire inside of the cave was visible; revealing a massive humanoid underneath. Entirely covered in stone, it mirrored the perfect image of a Japanese warrior, but was not exactly the being it seemed to be in legends of old.

That was, until its hand suddenly moved, waving across its face as a green, purely physical shape took the place of the rock. Orange eyes pierced through the darkened skies, and a never ending fire emerged from the top of its head as burning lava seeped through the cracks in its body. While perhaps a sign of his age, the deity himself was just as strong as he was in days of old.

Growling as he stepped down from his confinement, Daimajin’s storm began to expand, soon hovering over the entirety of Japan.


******

Somewhere in the ocean, a lone eye opened. After driving Amhuluk away, Godzilla rested near the shores of the island instead of swimming all the way back towards the Roman Colosseum. He found himself thankful he did, as the presence he felt inside of Japan itself was a powerful one. At first, he believed it to be a Titan, but the more he listened to it, he found that it was something he couldn’t quite identify. Something more ethereal.

All he knew was that it could have been a potential threat, and that it had to be investigated. His dorsal fins flashing blue as his roar echoed across the ocean, as he gracefully moved towards the surface.

******

Half Hour later.

Akira had long since backed up from the God of Vengeance, watching as it merely stood on the side of Mount Yoichi. Lava seeped down from its body, dripping onto the trees and turning them into mounds of ember. Planes and helicopters encircled Daimajin, but he had paid them no attention. They were not his target. Rather, he was still waiting for said target to arrive.

Still, everyone took precautions around the golem. One wrong move, and they feared his wrath would possibly be turned towards humanity. Many a priest, shaman and archaeologist were consulted once he had arrived, and many had come to the same conclusion: he was summoned from someone else’s grief. Perhaps, out of sheer grief from seeing his country get destroyed, a follower had summoned him to get back and the ones who wronged Japan again.

But by whom?

The culprit was hidden away from the rest of the group, as Akira was too ashamed to come forth and admit he may have doomed Japan had things gone wrong.

Even if his main goal succeeded, he questioned if it would really matter. Regardless of what happened with Godzilla, it would not heal his son, and it would not bring back his wife. It would potentially mean ending human casualties if it ended in his death, but there were other consequences at play. Would Daimajin truly bother to put the Titan’s in their place if they went wild without their leader? Or would someone like Kong have to do it for him as the spirit went back into resting?

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOONK!

Feeling his bones be rattled by a roar from the horizon, he quickly turned around and eyed the Permian therepod in the distance. It looks like he wouldn’t have long to find out.

******

Scattering like the wind, every human in the vicinity ran for the hills as the Alpha Predator made a beeline for the God of Vengeance. Daimajin still did not move an inch, but it seemed that its eyes glowed even more intensely than they already had as he finally looked upon his quarry. Godzilla stepped up the hill, getting closer and closer, until he was at last just inches away from the ancient spirit.

The size difference was clear from the beginning. Daimajin was only 98 meters, which seemed like a far cry to Godzilla’s 110. But that did not stop the ancient being, who looked at the Titan with a look that could kill. With an azurite glow, Godzilla was not given into the ghost’s fear tactic either.

With another ferocious roar, Godzilla’s call signified his final warning towards the golem. The leviathan’s call easily rattled the entire area of Yoichi, nearly drove the onlookers to deafness and made the remaining birds fly away from their perches. Even those who challenged him would at least show an inkling of fear from his call.

But Daimajin failed to show a single iota.

Snarling and clearly having had enough, Godzilla merely decided to tear into the statue until it was nothing but pebbles. He raised his left arm, and prepared himself to swing-

BOOM!

Only for a massive explosion to form right in front of his face, sending the Alpha Titan tumbling down the mountain as his scales were charred from the holy flames. Landing on his stomach, his eyes widened as he realized he had fallen right into the statue’s gambit. A growl of determination emerged from it as it stepped out from its own fire, smoke billowing into the air as he reached into its side, grasping at the hilt of his most famous weapon.

Pulling out the Legendary Sword of Steel, the way Daimajin aimed it at Godzilla only stated one sentence.

“Let us begin.”

Spoiler:
So, at last…

They had him cornered.

The intergalactic armada stood their ground. Patience had run out, they were tired of enduring the cruel wishes of the despot, and their decision had been made clear; SpaceGodzilla had to die. Fear had vanished from their bodies, replaced by boiling ire as they stood around their former leader, the ring of monsters blocking any path to avoid the confrontation. Sharp beaks, snarling jaws and chittering mandibles released a chant from hell, drowning the eerie silence of the planetoid. Every second of stay on this planet, chained like dogs to a non-existent pole, had led to this result; A revolution.

And yet, even when facing what would be certain death for the entirety of the cosmos, even when put against his own carefully selected army, SpaceGodzilla remained without a single trace of fear. Golden eyes navigated through the rosters as the crystalline mutant glared the daggers back. The array of teeth protruding out his deformed gums curled into a sadistic grin, the mere thought of this event bringing a sort of twisted comedy to the saurian. The poor fools thought they had a chance!

Seconds felt like eternal hours for both parties, only for the dreadful silence to soon be broken by a rumbling wail, one that was heard across the entire sphere they stood. The sound echoed for miles, speckles of dirt and dust flung into the air by the sheer power behind the ear-piercing cry. The set of toothy maws shut close, SpaceGodzilla fully cementing his stance; He would not give his precious throne to these pathetic beasts, and if he had to tear each and every one of them apart to stop this ridiculous inquisition, he would gladly do so!

The shriek was answered by a conglomerate of visceral howls, followed not long after by the trumpeting sounds of all monsters charging. He dared to not take them seriously?! Enough was enough, they would rip him to shreds! Leading the march forward with bloodthirsty joy, Gigan allowed his bloody chainsaws to carry him across the fields like tank-treads, their mechanism roaring as the metallic teeth raked the ground below. His cycloptic visor locked onto SpaceGodzilla’s form, a mechanical shriek signaling the start of the assault.

Oooh, a rebellion featuring multiple aliens out for SpaceGodzilla's head? Sounds fun!
Here's a small teaser for something I've made some adjustments to. I hadn't considered adding in a third monster at first, but between the prologue needing to be slightly reworked and the fact she hasn't made her return yet, screw it, what's one more beast in the fold?
Spoiler:
In the depths of space, a lone goddess had decided to admire the cosmos one final time before heading towards her home planet.

She had lost track of time on exactly how long she had been traversing the wider macrocosm, when she went to stop the meteor that was supposed to hit in 1999. However long it had been, it had left her more homesick than ever. She missed Infant Island, and all of the inhabitants that worshiped her. She missed her allies, who had promised to defend the planet in her wake and likely had gone through hundreds of other battles at this point, each one potentially spelling their deaths. She missed Battra, who she had finally managed to help see the light and who held the fort on Infant Island, even with some of the inhabitants being apprehensive, and she could have only hoped they had warmed up to him as time went by.

And, even though they weren’t born by the time she had left, she missed her children. Her potential son or daughter, who was set to continue her legacy on Planet Earth where she could not. By now, it was likely they had long since grown into their own Imago phase, and if female, possibly even had infants of their own. Oh, how she wishes she could’ve headed back to Earth immediately, and be welcomed with a joyous reunion.

Unfortunately, it appeared the universe had given her one last task to complete before doing so.

There was a lone planet that hosted something malevolent, its skies clouded with ash and smoke and not another living soul in sight. Her senses made it clear that the beings who had caused such destruction were not bound to a planet’s atmosphere. They had traveled here like a murder of crows from some other godforsaken realm, probably having slaughtered thousands of others before reaching their current destination. The vastness of the universe had kept them apart long enough for their paths to not cross. But it wasn’t too late for her to stop them before they had reached any further unfortunate souls.

Diving down, the Goddess of Peace shot past the soot filled heavens and entered the atmosphere with furious resolve, summoning all of her power to make sure she struck every enemy down until the job was done.

******

Unfortunately, the arrival of something from Earth was something the leader of the armada had long since been waiting for. And now, he has been granted a perfect opportunity.

His entire being revolved around an enemy to mankind, his “forefather” having visited the blue planet hundreds of times at this point. Conquering worlds was all he ever knew, and essentially now all what he ever wanted to achieve. But his creators were too keen on waiting “till the time was right”

But they had numbers. What was stopping the cyborgs from merely overpowering them all?

Free from their chains, they were free to destroy the galaxy at their own whim. And that was where they had a date with destiny. The vastness of the cosmos kept them all apart; but it seemed one lonesome being had come to him instead. Good….

Now one step closer to his own goal, violet eyes watched the sky. His brethren’s entire forms were covered in smoke and ash, leaving them invisible to even the keenest of eyes. It was time for him to begin his conquest….

I kinda did this in one sitting, I hope it suffices
Spoiler:
It was a nice day: the soft songs of birds, the gentle touch of cool breeze, the sweet fragrance of exotic fruits, the careful motions of the waves, the life that filled Monster Island to the brim. But, there was one thing that the King enjoyed most.

It was his friends and family.

Their jovial cries were carried to his ears by said breeze. It was music to him, one he wished that he could repeat over and over. Not only was it music, it was peace to him. It signaled that everything was okay. Everything was nice. The time of Summer was a season of fun and happiness, sure, but the King of the Monsters would only truly know if everything was okay if his loved ones were also happy. And after decades of fighting evils and making sure no villain could creep out from the shadows again, he was delighted to finally have peace.

Godzilla stood atop his cliff, a tower where his throne sat. His gaze wandered over the vast stretches of forest before him. He saw flocks of birds in the air and heard the small buzz of insects. Maybe even the steps of some forest mammal. But, his attention was centred on those he adored playing amongst each other.

Rodan, the atomic pterosaur, carried a giant boulder within his clutches. He squawked and bobbed his head while Anguirus, the irradiated ankylosaur, hugged his underbelly close to the forest floor, tail raised at the ready. On the opposite side of a line carved in the earth, Gorosaurus, the prehistoric marvel, rested on his tail, legs drawn back and eyes narrowed. Beside the upright allosaur, Titanosaurus gave a warbling call and slammed his webbed tail against the ground, wanting the round to begin already.

Within a split second upon the bumpy leviathan’s cry of frustration, Rodan dropped the boulder from his talons and his terrestrial teammate responded just as swiftly. With a swing of the tail, Anguirus sent the boulder flying toward the opposing team. Gorosaurus, startled by the round already starting, launched his legs too early. He kicked at empty air and was met with rock slamming into his snout. The saurian was sent onto his back afterwards.

The boulder flew high into the air. Titanosaurus shrieked and shuffled from left to right. He was unsure of where the rock would land. As it got closer, he flexed his claws anxiously and made a jump of faith. He missed.

The boulder landed into the goal, which was two pillars of rock set some tens of metres apart. The boulder sunk into the ground upon impact. A shriek of applause came from the mandibles of one of Mothra’s children. Their larval body rose into the air before flopping onto the ground. They crawled over toward a deleafed tree and picked it up via their mandibles. After a short trek back, a small line was dug into the earth.

Rodan and Anguirus: 6

Gorosaurus and Titanosaurus: 4

Rodan and Anguirus let out their respective cries of victory. Another step ahead! Meanwhile, Titanosaurus was helping Gorosaurus up by the hand. The red sea monster kept uttering apologies with shaky growls. The kangaroo-kicking dinosaur was frowning, heavily, but gave a small tap of reassurance to his teammate's back with his long tail. They still had plenty of daylight to improve so Goro wasn’t that cut up about it.

However, there was someone that wasn’t entirely grumpy at these results.

A blue, warty kaiju sat on a boulder while tugging at his ginger hair. Gabara groaned and moved his hands from abusing his hair to covering his face. Another, more harsher groan was muffled by his palms. His elbows rested on his legs. He only looked up from his hands when he felt a nudge to his side. He looked ahead and then furrowed his brow, gazing toward Baragon.

Baragon stared at Gabara with a gleeful expression. His tail wagged and his horn glowed a dim yellow. His large ears twitched and he then closed his eyes before opening his mouth wider. The mutated toad stared at the subterranean saurian with a glare but gave up with spite. He had to accept that he lost the bet, a bet that Goro and Titano would reach 6 goals first.

So, he reached one hand and plucked a cooked tentacle from a pile, still twitching with sparks. Gabara tossed the piece of irradiated squid meat into the awaiting jaws of the fire beast. Baragon snapped up the tentacle in a matter of seconds, swallowing it down in one bite. He then licked his lips, growling as thanks. Gabara scoffed and then shook his head.

Back at the top of the cliff, Godzilla would smile warmly at the game. But as he watched, he felt a small tug on his hand. He looked down, happily, to see the pleading gaze of his adopted son. Minilla was brimming with energy to go down there and join the game. He had grown a lot since his father first found him. He even started to slowly look like his father as well! Still, the pudginess of his grey face never truly went away.

Both father and son kept up the staring contest. And, Minilla’s pleading look began to slowly sizzle out. He knew from his father that drawn out silence meant a ‘no’. And when his father means ‘no’, he means ‘no’. But, Godzilla suddenly smiled and gave a nod. Minilla’s pleading look morphed to one of sheer excitement.

The young gojiran quickly wrapped his arms around his father and hugged tightly. Godzilla was taken aback for a moment by the affection. However, he eased and patted Minilla on the head. Minya would giggle softly and look right up at the King of the Monsters.

But, Minilla’s gaze would slowly drift to something else high above.

Godzilla raised one brow and tilted his head, confused. What was his son looking at? His ears finally also noticed the silence that now fell on the island. The joy of the game had passed, as if it was neve there. Godzilla glanced in the corner of his eye and noticed his friends staring up toward the sky as well, frozen.

He finally decided to look up as well and see what this fuss was all about. And when he looked up, he saw a second Sun.

A second Sun far larger than the original. A second Sun that was getting closer to the island.

And then, the King’s eyesight was overtaken by a blinding light.

And then, the King’s hearing was flooded with a synchronised roar of destruction.

And then, the King’s nerves was riddled with white-hot agony.

And then…

Silence.

Re: KWC TRAILERS!

Here's something I started working on about the end of last month. Since I'm working on Showa vs. Heisei Gamera, it was only fair I gave the last remaining turtle his own match. ;)
Spoiler:
When a being is thousands of years old, they would be no stranger to losing the ones they loved. But that didn’t necessarily mean witnessing death got any easier.

The concept of death was one Ultraman knew ever since he was a child. It was no secret heroic Ultras could fall in battle while protecting their kind and others across the cosmos. Nor was it any secret that allies could very well perish while trying to protect the ones that survived. He had been told that ever since he had started training, and he had to have been witness to hundreds, if not thousands of funerals, big and small.

Yet, whenever it was one he had grown closer to, he couldn’t help but feel a long-lasting pain in his heart. One that wouldn’t truly fade until years down the line, no matter how much he thought about the times they had shared, or tried to stop thinking about the “what could have been”. It reminded him that life was fragile, and that even the mightiest titans could fall. His current thoughts had led him back to Earth, where he had shrunken down to the size of a regular man, hidden away from civilization to be alone with his thoughts.

He watched the skies. And it reminded him when one of the world’s finest heroes once flew across them…. As well as the time where it was shrouded with shadows.

******
1995.

Soaring through the skies, Ultraman tried to hit an ever moving target, the bioengineered destroyer moving faster than lightning. Hordes of winged beasts had suddenly sprouted across Japan, and he had been enlisted to investigate. As it turns out, a threat from centuries’ past had come back to haunt the modern world; planning to go forth until the entire planet became their personal buffet.

The Gyaos. Beings created by the people of Atlantis to clean up their trash, only for their appetites to become outright hypervorous and uncontrollable. Turning on their masters, they single-handedly lead to the empire’s fall, the first round of resistance not enough to stop their constant assault. Said resistance, in itself, seemed to have become extinct. Turtle-based lifeforms who acted as guardians, falling in the midst of battle. Now, it was up to the current heroes to finish what they had all started.

Or, at least, so he thought.

The winged creature shot out its Sonic Scalpel, piercing the Ultra’s hand. Crying out in shock, he nearly fell flat on his face. Blood pulsing out of a silver palm, he tried to ignore it as a call rang through the sky and a 60-meter tall being landed on the nearby bridge. Red scales brightened by the sunset, the Gyaos gazed at him with hungry eyes as it prepared to dive down and finish the job. Another beam readied to fire in its mouth, trying to slice open the neck muscles.

Someone else struck first.

A fireball shot through the sky, barely grazing Ultraman’s head fin before striking the overgrown bat in the chest, scorching flesh. It withered around in pain, trying to get back on its feet, its eyes darting to find the source of the attack. Footsteps rang across the forest, signaling something else was near. But there wasn't any malevolent presence, something Ultraman could sense from the minute it had arrived.

Turning around, he saw a rather giant shape just beyond the horizon. A massive fortress covering its back, and tusk protruding from each side of its mouth. In the shape of a massive tortoise, came the Atlantean’s Last Hope.

Gamera, last of his kind, against the remaining dozens of sworn enemies.

By the time Ultraman had got to his knees, Gamera had nearly not paid him any mind. He was no stranger to looking at massive humanoids in his past; but something about the biology of this one seemed rather strange. He had been granted the ability to tap into the Earth’s energy, along with knowing all the lifeforms that were born within it. Yet the silver giant appeared to be an outsider.

Though, had it been a threat, what was stopping it from attacking the turtle where he stood?

His muscles had begun to untense, and instead of rage, he looked at the Ultra with a newfound sense of wonder and curiosity; emotions he had not felt for eons. Ultraman had replied in kind. The patterns laced across Gamera’s stomach telling him the newcomer was one created by the likes of bioengineering instead of birthed by Mother Nature. Whatever tensions between them had shimmered down, giving way to a sense of understanding.

This was no destroyer. Rather, a defender.

And now, they had a common foe. The Gyaos had begun to recover and got back to its feet with an ear-piercing shriek. Its wings were sore from such a rough landing, but it still managed to fly. It dove down, trying to strike two targets at once.

Ultraman, however, caught it in his tracks. His fingers completely straightened, thin, yellow beams caught the winged beast by the head and chest, keeping it still to the point only the eyes could continue to move. Not wasting even a second, a razor disk of blue energy emerged from his right arm, and he sent it forward, easily cutting straight through the skull and the rest of the body.

Once the psychokinesis had worn off, the Gyaos fell to the ground, each half of its body crashing to the ground with a rather nauseating squelch.

With some surprise of how quickly the humanoid had handled the situation, Gamera found himself revisioning his future steps. Suddenly, his one man fight suddenly had grown to have another by his side. If he could have another in his fight against the Shadow of Evil, the odds of him coming out victorious were sure to have gone up. Plus, could he really say he wanted to bear this task all by himself?

All of his brethren were gone, but the task they left behind lived on through his soul. And they certainly wouldn’t want him to be alone in his journey. It was the least he could do.

So, in ways only beings like him could truly understand, Gamera had asked Ultraman for any future aid he could offer. And the extraterrestrial had agreed. Just moments after they had arrived in the forest, they had set out towards wider pastures, and to take care of a now common enemy.

And that was just the beginning. What started as a crusade against the darkness had grown into something that would last for years to come. Together, they had fought the parasitic marauder Legion, the ancient sea dragon Dagahra, and even put a stop to the celestial Dogora. Gaining allies from both Earth and beyond, they were seen as the finest symbols of hope, and the finest Guardians of the Universe. Gamera and Ultraman hadn't just become partners in crime, they were friends. Ones who seemed fit to continue working together till millennia to come.

…. If only that was how history truly unfolded.

2000

The night skies of Tokyo were filled with the cries of war and screams of horrors. Those who had not found a savehaven were likely to be nothing but a feast for the vicious vampires that swarmed the heavens. The Gyaos were thousands strong, and the streets were packed to the brim with bones, limbs and blood. Many of Earth’s guardians had risen to fight them, but many had fallen in the midst of warfare.

Gruesome sights were strewn about, creating a horrible scene. Battra’s torn wing laid next to Mechagodzilla’s top half. That was only the beginning of it all, barely accounting for all the bodies that laid across the streets and on top of destroyed buildings. The famed Tokyo Tower was cut in two like a knife through butter, the remains of the upper half broken into pieces once it hit the earth beneath it.

If an Ultra could produce tears, Ultraman would have likely wept. But he couldn’t stop just to tend to his feelings . Not when there was still a battle to be won. But with his Color Timer beginning to flash red, he knew he had only so much time until he either made a hasty and temporary retreat, or was possibly even forced to face his own demise.

But if this was the end, he wouldn’t go gently into the night.

With a running start, he raced back into the fray and joined his remaining allies against the war. Mothra cried out as her Prism Beams punctured the skin of the Gyaos swarm, destroying the wing membranes as the overgrown vampires fell to the ground. King Kong’s entire body was covered in blue electricity, the shocks rattling bones and letting the hearts overflow until they ceased beating. The cacophony was almost enough to make his ears bleed, but his fist held steady as three of them had caught his sight.

Each Gyaos was following their now dead master, a mutant of their kind. However, with the Ryuseicho dead, they had gone rampant. Only continuing their feeding frenzy until there was nothing on Earth to satisfy their carnivorous needs. Everything that had resisted was seen as a foe, but they were miniscule compared to their last true enemy, and the one who led the charge.

But alas, Gamera’s time in the battlefield seemed like it was just about ready to come to an end.

In his previous conflict, he had been gravely injured. His right arm had lost every nerve in its system in his battle with the mutant, he was forced to self amputate. Yet even with waning strength, he persevered till the very end. His rockets acted as a light in the night sky, signaling his presence. as fireballs blew members of the hoard into charred chunks. They merely fell to the ground below, lifeless as could be, but there were still hundreds left to go, and no one was really sure how much more he could truly take. Especially against “the big one.”

Larger than the rest, and with skin white as snow, the 80 meter beast eyed the chelonian with hunger. He was her main target; and all of Gamera’s allies were his bodyguards. Sensing an attack coming her way, the Albino Gyaos flew upwards, narrowly dodging an atomic ray that shot into the sky. Looking back down below, she quickly saw Godzilla beckoning her for a fight. She didn’t want to lose her target, but she realized the radioactive mutant was simply too dangerous to be left unchecked. She moved down, ready to fight the King of Monsters head on.

But she was intercepted. Ultraman had slammed into her with his shoulder, knocking her into one of the few remaining buildings standing. In a daze, the white vampire tried to stand, only to nearly be knocked down again when a fireball scorched her back. Rodan had also joined the fray, having finally shook off the smaller brethren of the Gyaos leader.

It was clear this battle was going nowhere fast, so she opted for a different way to settle the conflict. Her head snapped upward, shrieking to the sky. A call to arms.

Encircling the skies, many smaller Gyaos eyed the tortoise with an enraged gaze. They flew in in a pattern, attacking his unarmored scales relentlessly. He fended them off, some of them having their wings torn asunder while others were merely slapped to the ground, but they simply kept on coming.

Quickly attempting to save his friend, Ultraman leapt back into the sky, but he too was overwhelmed. He was rapidly losing sunlight, and barely had any time to find an exit to recharge. He was forced to make a split decision, trying to ensure a friend's survival while not sacrificing his own.

Cutting through the crowd with an Ultra Slash, he aimed it upwards just as he shot towards outer space, three Gyaos’ starting to follow. Good.

Soaring past the clouds, the bats followed as they tried to pierce the skin with their sonic scalpel. Ultraman rapidly dodged, feeling the light of the star already piercing his skin and recharging his Color Timer. All he had to do was reach a bit farther….

Soon enough, he had breached Earth entirely, and the Gyaos’ had run out of oxygen. Passing out, they fell back to the ground and disappeared into the clouds. Having taken care of some of the threats, he brought himself a minute to recover and breathe, ragged breaths turning into more controlled ones as he felt his strength slowly return. But alas, he did not have all the time in the world; especially not when one he cherished was still at stake.

The second his Timer had finally returned to its blue tone, it was straight back to the battlefield. But the moment he eyed the Earth, he had noticed something that rattled him to the core.

The last remnants of Earth’s mana were fading….

After spending so many years on Earth, he too learned the importance of Mana, the energy that had fueled the world. Alas, in the fight against Legion, Gamera had been forced to use a vast majority in order to defeat the extraterrestrial. That was entirely how the Gyaos had reawoken in such vast quantities to begin with, and arguably even lead to the reawakening of the mutant. Now, the only new bits of energy the Earth had received were when a lifeform on it eventually passed on, the energy they had left their shells and returned back to the core.

So why was it fading away?

…. No, it wasn’t fading. It was being absorbed. Gamera was using up whatever was left to fuel himself! An attempt to keep himself in the fight as long as he could… But one with a devastating cost. If he lived, the mana would almost certainly be returned to the planet, but if he met a grizzly fate, it would likely be gone for good. With haste, Ultraman raced back down towards the blue planet, his form surrounded by fire as he reentered the atmosphere and broke the sound barrier three times over. Landing so hard he nearly broke his knees, he raced to find his friend, only to find them still struggling in the sky. He tried to race after them, only to have his chest cut open by a round of sonic scalpels that stopped him in his tracks from the piercing pain.

It was a terrifying scene as both ancient colossi continued to massacre the others bodies, their forms covered in both purple and green blood. Having specifically led her underlings to distract every other giant in the vicinity, the Albino Gyaos had decided to settle the rivalry all on her own. Neither had a true advantage, but it was obvious they were not giving in. A duel that was destined to go until their dying breaths.

Trying to end it as fast as he could, Gamera used every last bit of Mana for one final Plasma Fireball, the orange energy charging in his maw. The lead Gyaos, however, wasn’t having it. Charging back in with a horrifying shriek of rage, her wings folded into a v-shape as she dove down to deliver what she too hoped would be the final blow.

It was a move neither side had fully calculated.

The moment the white Gyaos met her longtime foe, her speared tongue shot out to pierce his neck. When Gamera reared his head back to fire his ultimate attack, he failed to notice her ongoing speed, and failed to fire even seconds earlier before disaster was spelled. The moment the speared organ shot forth, it had pierced his neck, only to be immediately scorched the moment the superheated Mana touched it, burning the tongue to a crisp.

But it was too late.

Jammed inside of a body with nowhere to go, the fiery mana began to force itself out of any exit it possibly could. Gamera’s missing hand began to glow a mystical orange as similar lights began to burst through his iron fortress. As the Gyaos shouted in pain and the loss of her lingua, she had failed to notice the scene amongst her oncoming agony. And with most of the resistance on the ground, none of them could alert anyone else on what was about to transpire.

At last, with every bit of power trapped in his body escaping at once, Gamera had exploded.

Almost immediately, the albino Gyaos was completely incinerated, with not even bones remaining. Many of the others still in the air were next to go, skins bursting at the seams and melting until only slag was left. Mothra quite nearly became a victim of the inferno herself, had Rodan not swooped in and carried her to a place the fire could not reach. But the heat as a whole definitely could, the sweltering temperatures reaching to the ground and forming blisters on the skin of kaiju as night began to turn to day. The sound echoed all across the globe, the low-droning noise being torture on the ears.

Yet, it only lasted mere minutes before it all died down, along with the rest of the noises surrounding the battlefield.

His eyes clearing up, Ultraman yet again eyed the darkness, seeing a plume of smoke surrounding the sky and drawing out even more of the darkness. All was silent, with only the sounds of labored breathing rushing through his ears. But it didn’t take long for him, alongside everyone else, to notice something was terribly wrong. They could feel something missing from the planet, sending a sense of dread straight to their core. The leader of the Gyaos had been vanquished.

But there was no sign of Gamera, and the Mana he held.

Hearts collectively sank, but sadness gave way to unbridled rage. The moment of silence had given way yet again to the sounds of war the moment the defenders of earth got back on their feet and looked towards the heavens shrouded in shadow. And with hands clenched into a fist, one particular champion felt his eyes turn red.

With a howl of anguish, Ultraman had restarted the conflict by shooting into the sky and nearly tearing off a Gyaos’ fist with a powerful punch, causing the rest to follow suit. Soon, Tokyo was free from the winged terrors, and the rest of the world had followed suit in the months that would follow, until the Gyaos’ were confirmed to be one hundred percent extinct.

It was a hollow victory, however. Especially for the Warrior of Light.

A friend had perished, and nothing had remained of him to even give a proper burial. And while many men and monsters both came along to pay their respects in quite a few different ways, his presence was still sorely absent. While the Gyaos were no more, the lack of Mana had given way to many other threats to try and take the Earth under their tyrannical domain. From the reawakening of Desghidorah, to the advent of the Garogas and their Terror-Beast, the guardians of earth had been working double time to make sure everything was on track.

Two decades had gone by, and things had only marginally improved. Some of the mana had returned via the passing of lifes, especially considering the life cycle of the Guardian Moths, but not enough to truly fuel the planet again. Even on a rather clear, sunny day like the one the Ultra was currently bathing in, the temperature felt cold. As if the lack of energy had zapped the world of its warmth. It was obvious at this point there was no easy fix for the Earth.

But in the previous decade, something had made itself known. And it had given the hero new hope.

******

After a battle between Mothra’s son, Leo, and a cephalopod named “Viras”, the world governments had gone into an investigation into a conspiracy into a mysterious company called the “Eustace Foundation”. Uncovering a plot that revolved sacrificing the innocent in order to “purify” mankind, they uncovered many other genetically engineered lifeforms they had planned to use. Most of them were either incomplete, or were still in hibernation. But one life form, however, was taken from its nest for a study.

Lacking the RNA that would have made the other monsters mad, some had wondered if, with a good enough role-model, it could have become another defender for the planet. No x-ray could see through it, so exactly what lifeform it could have been was a mystery for everyone.

Until, about four months later, it had hatched to reveal a familiar face. Another Gamera, whose birth had taken the world by storm.

Whether or not it was exactly tied to the one created by Atlantis eons ago, one was sure, but it was a cause for celebration around the world. Seeing another chance at one of the world’s guardians protecting everyone was a sign of greatness, but most were not allowed to see the creature with their own eyes. But once he grew up, and began to traverse the world on his own, everyone bore witness to him, whether from up close, or from a distance.

Ultraman had fallen into the latter camp. It wasn’t that he wasn’t happy, but it was clear more time was needed for the chelonian to truly improve his skills. Become the fighter he was meant to be. But finding the right moment to meet with him was tricky. He had plenty of duties outside of Earth after all, and a random entrance certainly wouldn’t be a good first impression if he wanted to gain trust. But the more time passed, the more he realized he couldn’t continue to sit on the sidelines. Forcing himself away because of the past was far from ideal.

Even if confronting it head on was harder….

It was only then he realized his hands were starting to shake, and he had to take a few deep breaths to calm himself back down. In an attempt to recollect his thoughts, he yet again looked towards the horizon.

The chances for him to help continue the legacy of a fallen friend was not one that came often. In most cases, their tales were simply passed down to the next generation. Now, he was staring at said next generation. Training them in general was a part of his duties, but when it came to a situation like this one, and a world itself still feeling as bleak as it could ever be?

“.... It is the least I could do.”

Making up his mind simply by saying those words out loud, he raised one of his hands to the air. Transforming into his true, 85 meter height, the Warrior of Light shot towards the sky, deciding today would be the day. The Earth had a second chance; and perhaps, he did as well.

Spoiler:
When a being is thousands of years old, they would be no stranger to losing the ones they loved. But that didn’t necessarily mean witnessing death got any easier.

The concept of death was one Ultraman knew ever since he was a child. It was no secret heroic Ultras could fall in battle while protecting their kind and others across the cosmos. Nor was it any secret that allies could very well perish while trying to protect the ones that survived. He had been told that ever since he had started training, and he had to have been witness to hundreds, if not thousands of funerals, big and small.

Yet, whenever it was one he had grown closer to, he couldn’t help but feel a long-lasting pain in his heart. One that wouldn’t truly fade until years down the line, no matter how much he thought about the times they had shared, or tried to stop thinking about the “what could have been”. It reminded him that life was fragile, and that even the mightiest titans could fall. His current thoughts had led him back to Earth, where he had shrunken down to the size of a regular man, hidden away from civilization to be alone with his thoughts.

He watched the skies. And it reminded him when one of the world’s finest heroes once flew across them…. As well as the time where it was shrouded with shadows.

1995.

Soaring through the skies, Ultraman tried to hit an ever moving target, the bioengineered destroyer moving faster than lightning. Hordes of winged beasts had suddenly sprouted across Japan, and he had been enlisted to investigate. As it turns out, a threat from centuries’ past had come back to haunt the modern world; planning to go forth until the entire planet became their personal buffet.

The Gyaos. Beings created by the people of Atlantis to clean up their trash, only for their appetites to become outright hypervorous and uncontrollable. Turning on their masters, they single-handedly lead to the empire’s fall, the first round of resistance not enough to stop their constant assault. Said resistance, in itself, seemed to have become extinct. Turtle-based lifeforms who acted as guardians, falling in the midst of battle. Now, it was up to the current heroes to finish what they had all started.

Or, at least, so he thought.

The winged creature shot out its Sonic Scalpel, piercing the Ultra’s hand. Crying out in shock, he nearly fell flat on his face. Blood pulsing out of a silver palm, he tried to ignore it as a call rang through the sky and a 60-meter tall being landed on the nearby bridge. Red scales brightened by the sunset, the Gyaos gazed at him with hungry eyes as it prepared to dive down and finish the job. Another beam readied to fire in its mouth, trying to slice open the neck muscles.

Someone else struck first.

A fireball shot through the sky, barely grazing Ultraman’s head fin before striking the overgrown bat in the chest, scorching flesh. It withered around in pain, trying to get back on its feet, its eyes darting to find the source of the attack. Footsteps rang across the forest, signaling something else was near. But there wasn't any malevolent presence, something Ultraman could sense from the minute it had arrived.

Turning around, he saw a rather giant shape just beyond the horizon. A massive fortress covering its back, and tusk protruding from each side of its mouth. In the shape of a massive tortoise, came the Atlantean’s Last Hope.

Gamera, last of his kind, against the remaining dozens of sworn enemies.

By the time Ultraman had got to his knees, Gamera had nearly not paid him any mind. He was no stranger to looking at massive humanoids in his past; but something about the biology of this one seemed rather strange. He had been granted the ability to tap into the Earth’s energy, along with knowing all the lifeforms that were born within it. Yet the silver giant appeared to be an outsider.

Though, had it been a threat, what was stopping it from attacking the turtle where he stood?

His muscles had begun to untense, and instead of rage, he looked at the Ultra with a newfound sense of wonder and curiosity; emotions he had not felt for eons. Ultraman had replied in kind. The patterns laced across Gamera’s stomach telling him the newcomer was one created by the likes of bioengineering instead of birthed by Mother Nature. Whatever tensions between them had shimmered down, giving way to a sense of understanding.

This was no destroyer. Rather, a defender.

And now, they had a common foe. The Gyaos had begun to recover and got back to its feet with an ear-piercing shriek. Its wings were sore from such a rough landing, but it still managed to fly. It dove down, trying to strike two targets at once.

And while many men and monsters both came along to pay their respects in quite a few different ways, his presence was still sorely absent. While the Gyaos were no more, the lack of Mana had given way to many other threats to try and take the Earth under their tyrannical domain. From the reawakening of Desghidorah, to the advent of the Garogas and their Terror-Beast, the guardians of earth had been working double time to make sure everything was on track.

Two decades had gone by, and things had only marginally improved. Some of the mana had returned via the passing of lifes, especially considering the life cycle of the Guardian Moths, but not enough to truly fuel the planet again. Even on a rather clear, sunny day like the one the Ultra was currently bathing in, the temperature felt cold. As if the lack of energy had zapped the world of its warmth. It was obvious at this point there was no easy fix for the Earth.

But in the previous decade, something had made itself known. And it had given the hero new hope.

******

After a battle between Mothra’s son, Leo, and a cephalopod named “Viras”, the world governments had gone into an investigation into a conspiracy into a mysterious company called the “Eustace Foundation”. Uncovering a plot that revolved sacrificing the innocent in order to “purify” mankind, they uncovered many other genetically engineered lifeforms they had planned to use. Most of them were either incomplete, or were still in hibernation. But one life form, however, was taken from its nest for a study.

Lacking the RNA that would have made the other monsters mad, some had wondered if, with a good enough role-model, it could have become another defender for the planet. No x-ray could see through it, so exactly what lifeform it could have been was a mystery for everyone.

Until, about four months later, it had hatched to reveal a familiar face. Another Gamera, whose birth had taken the world by storm.

Whether or not it was exactly tied to the one created by Atlantis eons ago, one was sure, but it was a cause for celebration around the world. Seeing another chance at one of the world’s guardians protecting everyone was a sign of greatness, but most were not allowed to see the creature with their own eyes. But once he grew up, and began to traverse the world on his own, everyone bore witness to him, whether from up close, or from a distance.

Ultraman had fallen into the latter camp. It wasn’t that he wasn’t happy, but it was clear more time was needed for the chelonian to truly improve his skills. Become the fighter he was meant to be. But finding the right moment to meet with him was tricky. He had plenty of duties outside of Earth after all, and a random entrance certainly wouldn’t be a good first impression if he wanted to gain trust. But the more time passed, the more he realized he couldn’t continue to sit on the sidelines. Forcing himself away because of the past was far from ideal.

Even if confronting it head on was harder….

It was only then he realized his hands were starting to shake, and he had to take a few deep breaths to calm himself back down. In an attempt to recollect his thoughts, he yet again looked towards the horizon.

The chances for him to help continue the legacy of a fallen friend was not one that came often. In most cases, their tales were simply passed down to the next generation. Now, he was staring at said next generation. Training them in general was a part of his duties, but when it came to a situation like this one, and a world itself still feeling as bleak as it could ever be?

“.... It is the least I could do.”

Making up his mind simply by saying those words out loud, he raised one of his hands to the air. Transforming into his true, 85 meter height, the Warrior of Light shot towards the sky, deciding today would be the day. The Earth had a second chance; and perhaps, he did as well.
I think all of this is good, but it's giving away too much.
Spoiler:
I don't think we need to know how one died and the resurrection without reading the story proper. If we need action to get the point across, stop at how they met. Let us read the rest.
That's just my two cents, though.

Here's this other thing I started working on, like, two days ago. Decided I'd get an early start because evidently we still need more matches sent in for the newer guys.
Spoiler:
Dunes of Afghanistan

G-force looked straight ahead to the massive storm just beyond the horizon, taking note of the draconic skeleton that also laid not far from where they stood. Reports of a strange “tower” and even stranger beast had been piling up for months on end, and they had finally arrived to investigate.

Watching through binoculars, the leader narrowed his eyes. The cold air from the storm was a stark contrast to the desert and the beating sun. it pulsed with blue light, as if the fabric of reality itself was trying to contain whatever may have been lurking on the other side of the mirror.

The plan to stop it, however, wasn’t as simple as it sounded. That was something the soldiers were about to learn the hard way.

Lined up in a group, dozens of soldiers lined up to take on what they could only hope was the intended target, waiting for the signals from the commander-in-chief. One of them, however, perhaps had even more on his shoulders than the rest. Hotaru Wantanabe, the leader of the resistance, kept himself tense waiting for the next words that could decide everybody’s fates.

“General, be prepared.” A female voice said over the line, albeit one droning with a robotic tone. “Your superiors will likely be giving the signal in t-minutes five minutes.”

The soldier, however, merely brushed off the robotic drivel. “Will take note. Thank you, Triceratops….!” He said, not even trying to hide the hint of venom in his voice. Why G-Force thought having some supercomputer constantly shout the obvious in his ear was beyond him. Merely sighing, he looked towards the distant cyclone, trying to steady his nerves for what could have laid ahead. In times like these, he was reminded any day on duty could have very well been his last. But he couldn’t let that stop him. He entered this workforce and worked up the ranks very well knowing the risk?

And the prospect of dying to help protect the ones he loved? It… was a good feeling. Even if this was the end, at least there was hope he could inspire to take his place, one way or the other.

Unbeknownst to him, however, he was not the only defender in the area. Another one lurked just beyond the dimensional rift, unprepared for the incoming tragedy that would lay ahead.

******
As the storm continued to expand, a lone father tried to protect his only children.

Black wings attempted to spread, but fighting against the gusts of winds was a losing battle. Sharp eyes saw through the darkness, hoping to find the source. The jungles were shrouded, but soon there would be nowhere else to run and hide. It was as if the entire world was being enveloped.

Eyeing the tower ahead, the lone Fatalis could only assume the best way to bring this madness to an end was to destroy it.

Kicked out of his home turf weeks ago, he was left alone with his still unhatched eggs. His mate had perished in combat, when the unruly weather had forced the Shaguru Magala into their nest and she became victim to their wretched virus. He had managed to escape along with his children, but with nowhere else to go. Suddenly, an already hostile creature was running on a rage-fueled auto pilot….

Thankfully, he knew just the thing to take his anger out on.

There was no mistaking it now. The same energy spread across the globe was essentially its own singularity resting on the tower’s peak. The only thing that had stopped him from heading here before was the “guard dog” that had resided there for years. But now that it seemed like the Greater Rathalos had met his fate, he could take care of business undeterred. Suddenly, his body began to radiate steam to fight off the bitter cold.

Flapping his wings once more, he took towards the sky with a call of determination. Each movement radiated steam from his dark scales, the heat encircling the orange flames now sitting in the dragon’s mouth. Yet, he was unaware of the similar scheme being planned just across the pond.

Spoiler:
It's spooky season around these parts, so why not kick things off celebrating one of Ultraman's spookiest Seijinn?

Monsterland, 12:20 AM

Night had fallen amongst Monsterland, the full moon shining bright in the sky. So silent, one would possibly think it wasn’t home to any monsters at all.

But when the kaiju slept away, the humans ran the graveyard shift, making sure nothing got into the island, and nobody was attempting to sneak their way out. Usually, it was rather calm and not very active. But one night, during what appeared to be a usual Summer’s eve, the entire location was nearly rattled to its very core….

******

Watching the monitors, a lone man sipped down his coffee to keep himself awake. The giants rested in caves, roosts and the tunnels they had dug. Rodan slept on top of the highest mountains, while Titanosaurus dozed away just under the beaches alongside Ebirah and Manda. The only one absent, perhaps ironically, was their ruler. Godzilla was far away, having headed to another island and got caught in a deep freeze before he could leave, but he was almost certain to return after the fact.

But life went on, and it was almost business as usual for Monsterland. Partially because of the second in command he put in charge, but the people overseeing everything liked to believe they played a part too.

So, seeing that everything was as it should, the security guard decided it was time he too turned in for the night. Just to get a chance to close his eyes….

At least, until he heard footsteps.

Fumbling with his hands to get a grasp on the flashlight, the guard got up almost immediately and spun around. Behind him was a corridor leading to outside his office, the pacing from just outside. Sneaking towards the door, the frightened man made sure the gun latched to his hip was loaded, pulling it out while making as little noise as possible.

“Hello?..... Hello?”

Rather cold comfort, but at the very least, it seemed like the visitor was a mortal man. Opening the door slowly, he eyed what appeared to be a rather tattered man, his shirt filled with holes and wobbling like he was on the verge of collapsing. He tried to walk up to the security guard, but quite nearly fell due to a rather bad limp on the left leg.

“Oh thank god you’re here!” He said with a raspy voice. “M-my ship wrecked near the island’s shore. I ran to get help but those mantises attacked me!”

Immediately feeling sorry for the stranger, the security guard ran up to him. “Don't worry sir! I got plenty of medical kits! I'll have you healed up in a jiffy!” He wrapped one arm around his shoulders, slowly trudging towards a room only another hallway away.

“Th-thank you kindly….”

The rest of the walk was rather slow-paced, but there was still a sense of unease and that time was still finite. Raspy breaths echoed across the halls, as if the stranger was struggling to breathe. Still, both sides knew it didn’t have to be this intense; and in an effort to break some ice, the guard decided to find out some more information.

“Say, would you mind lending me your name?”


“Heh. Well, I kind of go by a lot of names.” The stranger replied rather cryptically. “But I’d prefer it if you just called me one by one. The one that’s most important to me.”

Suddenly, he moved his hands off the guard’s shoulder, and unlike before, stood completely still.

“Uh, sir…. You okay?”

Trying to find out what was wrong, the guard attempted to be a good samaritan, picking up the head by the chin to look into his eyes.

But the eyes weren’t there.

Baby blue pinpricks, sunken deep into the sockets, took their place, with a mouth that too faded off his face. So unnerved by the horrid sight did the guard freeze like ice, not even grabbing the weapon on his hilt. Whatever, or whoever was in front of him stood up completely straight, morphing even further into something completely eldritch in tone.

And only seconds later, it still spoke in completely human tongue.

“Your new master.”

WHACK

With a simple chop of the neck, the man was out cold on the ground; and only the extraterrestrial remained. Shifting back to its main form just to let itself breathe, it merely stepped over its latest victim and moved back to the entrance whence he came, ready to finally complete its main task.

In fact, he had been rather busy the entire night. Hypnotizing most of the island’s denizens to deep sleep, readying himself for what could be his greatest performance, and all he needed to do was get the right co-star to the stage. Alas, his first idea for an entertainer seemed to have flown the coop before he could get here; but no matter. He already left behind the perfect replacement.

Once he reached the fields, he fell to his knees, the hologram changing his bizarre shape, yet again becoming more earthly in form, yet towering in size. A form fit for a king.

******

Anguirus woke up feeling something wasn’t quite right.

He looked around, almost feeling as if someone was watching him, but all he saw was a clear night sky. A piece of him wondered if he was dreaming, but he felt too awake for that to be the case. Admittedly it was a strange thing to say, but he knew what his dreams felt like.

So, seeing no other choice, he decided to go out and investigate.

Getting up on his two front legs, he trudged out of his cave, thinking about alerting the others in his vicinity. Directly above him was Rodan, who still appeared to be snoozing away.

He had called for his ally…. But got not a hint of a response.

And he did it again, a bit louder that time, but the pterosaur only made the sound of obnoxious snores. The ankylosaur merely scoffed and rolled his eyes. Lazy good for nothing…. oh well. He was sure he could take care of it himself.

Now that he thought about it, it didn’t seem like anyone had heard his call. Usually that would imply they all moved somewhere, but not a single soul had responded. The silence was beginning to get even more nerve-wracking, and a piece of him wanted to yellow just to get rid of it all.

It was almost terrifying….

At least, he heard what might have been cold comfort in the distance.

There was a howl in the distance, and it didn’t belong to any of his friends. An intruder, getting through every bit of Monsterland’s defenses? Then again, with how off everything seemed tonight, perhaps that wouldn’t be that much of a surprise. And with Godzilla still gone, he might have been the last defense the island had to offer. With a roar of his own, he trudged forth, following the sound into battle.

Yet as he moved forward, yet again the more off things seemed. For the moment he reached the beach, footprints became clear. Massive paws that entrenched on the ground, with four claws making a notable digit imprint. At first Anguirus thought nothing of it, but as he continued to follow the trail, the more he couldn’t keep his eyes off it.

Eventually, he put his paw over one of the footprints; and saw that they were the exact same.

But that was impossible. The rest of his kind had died out years ago! This had to be some sort of imposter. He kept going, but the trail began to muddle as other shapes formed within it. That, mixed with puddles of blood, all but indicating there was some sort of struggle. An entire river of sand mixed with ichor laid before the ankylosaur, leading into the darkness.

And the culprit still lurked in it.

Glowing from within them were a pair of bulbous, red eyes and sharp pairs of teeth. Two large horns rested on both sides of his head, with three smaller ones laced in the middle, creating an uneven crown. A carapace rested on the back of its body, before suddenly flickering up and down like an overgrown stink bug, while the tail lurked up in the air like a rattlesnake. The fangs were covered in gore, the strange doppelganger holding a lone Dagora in its jaws, biting straight into the head and piercing the brain. It dropped the giant octopus, looking towards his counterpart with a smile that looked like it could split its face in two.

But it did not roar.

Rather, Anguirus was met with a nerve-wracking, ear-piercing shriek!

Trailer for one of our newer members of the roster
Spoiler:
Venturing closer cautiously, the King raised a hand and let out a short roar, the sound cutting through the air. Any birds that didn't flee the area quickly did so, and the gruesome sounds stopped. Raising their green head, the saurian looked over their shoulder, revealing a long crocodilian head and snout which ended with a mass of teeth on the end of the snout like a mace, yellow blood and orange bits of carapace caking the long jaws with drool dripping down, and two beady yellow eyes fixated on the charcoal saurian behind them.

The ruler of Monster land once heard of the human phrase "the eyes are a window to the soul" from one of his allies, the grinning robot who fought alongside him against the Seatopian Beetle and Cyborg Avian. When he asked what it meant, his friend elaborated that one could figure out what a being was truly like by looking at their eyes, as eyes helped show how one was feeling, such as narrowing in suspicion, and in addition, humans didn't consider eye contact a show of aggression or a threat. In fact, many, if not all looked at the face or somewhere near when they talked with another human.

When he heard this, the Kaiju King couldn't help but agree. He would never forget when he looked into the crimson gaze of the Three Headed Monster and saw nothing but insanity, a crazed look that both matched and explained why he flailed his heads wildly while spewing his crackling beams, not bothering to aim, giggling psychotically all the while.


And when his gaze met the theropod's own, he saw a look that he had seen in the eyes of both Baragon and Gaira. When both arrived on the island, they looked at just about everyone with a look of hunger, sizing them up as a meal. Fortunately, the humans had taken this into account and made sure they got something to keep their appetite stated as often as possible, and eventually both realized the local Kamacuras were abundant enough to have some as a meal, which also kept the population at a level where they wouldn't overrun the island and it's ecosystem. Certainly helped helped Kumonga and Gorosaurus.

However, the difference here was that Gaira saw him at a potential threat and rival predator, acting aggressively. He still did, but he had calmed down a lot and most monsters left him alone aside from his brother. And Baragon had one look and immediately flinched back, hissing defensively. He saw a threat and a rival predator, but was intimidated and fearful of a creature he could tell at first glance was more than he could handle, his actions were out of fear and defensiveness. Didn't help matters that he was a young member of his species. But like Gaira, he had calmed down and matured, and was much more calmer and comfortable.

But unlike either of them there was no such look in the yellow pinpricks. No acknowledgment of a potential rival predator or defensive behavior. This creature didn't care that he was an unknown creature that was unlike and beast that roamed the lands it used to call home. No, all the Violent Wyvern saw was a meal to be slain, torn apart and consumed.

Turning it's pine colored body around, it faced the King, rearing back and puffing out it's chest as it sucked in air before thrusting it forward, it's gore covered jaws parting to let loose a booming roar that sent globs of thick saliva as well as blood and it's of exoskeleton flying and filled the air and shattered any hopes of a peaceful interaction. Powerful legs sprung into action, the theropod breaking into a run, trees shattering and earth quaking from each footfall. In the world it originated from, the sight of a Deviljho barreling towards them like a freight train would send any creature running for the hills to escape the literal jaws of death. But the Father of Minilla looked a literal Destroyer of Worlds in his mad eyes and punched him square in his golden draconic mug. Thus Godzilla, the Monster of Justice and former terror of Japan put up his dukes. If this walking pickle hoped he was going to get an easy meal, well the King of the Monsters was just going to show him otherwise a d make sure he was gonna have a bad time.

However, the corners of his rounded mouth curved down in a frown. As much as he like a good fight, he didn't seek them out,and was upset that it had to come to this. Pushing his feelings aside, Godzilla adjusted his stance and began swaying right to left. There wasn't just hunger in those eyes, but intelligence as well. He would have to be careful, he knew nothing about this monster, and one slip up could be disastrous. He need to be cautious, lest he ended up as a carcass being devoured. And he had no intention of leaving Minilla without a father.

As the Deviljho thundered within Melee range, Godzilla leaned to the left, then quickly threw his weight to the right as the Deviljho snapped his jaws in that direction, his Majesty throwing a fist forward, only to pull in back to avoid it being trapped in the organic bear trap that was the Brute Wyvern's jaws. Unperturbed, the green theropod lunged forward, jaws swing wide open, eager to taste the Kaiju King's blood.

Spoiler:
Oooh, very good! Glad to see the Deviljho get some love.
Getting this bit done for a certain member of the Evangelion family. Hoping this turns out well when it's done.
Spoiler:
It all started when the sky turned red.

While it only lasted a mere minute, it was a terrible sign of what was to come. What started as a normal exhibition to the Antarctic circle soon led to a discovery that heralded the apocalypse. Some say that had the being exhibited more power, the entire planet very well could have tilted on its axis, and perhaps the red skies would have been a permanent stay for future generations to come.

But alas, the all-father still left a new “gift” for the people of Earth to find.

“Adam” they called him, the whereabouts of his body unknown even to most top-secret agents. What was known, however, is that his children wanted to find their father. Not out of any genuine love mind you, if anything, it all stemmed from pure greed and gluttony. A massive lust for power only Adam’s heart could grant them. That was why he was locked away, and even now nobody could find the whereabouts of the strange lifeform.

The children of Adam were collectively named “The Angels”, each one named after a different divine being from Christian Mythology. None of them looked alike in the slightest, but they all did share one key thing: what was labeled as an S2 engine. Perhaps, if it was destroyed, they would be vanquished. But alas, two years after their advent, mankind wasn’t any closer to getting rid of them.

But that was no excuse for giving up.

******

Enter Dr. Shinigami, a leader when it came to science, and seen as one of mankind’s beacons of hope. A man who had overcome the tragedy of his own daughter’s death to save humanity. If perhaps, at the cost of a bit of his sanity. Studying the Angels was a necessity, but it definitely was not easy. With how diverse they were, each one could very well have taken years to narrow down.

Every easy solution he could think of seemed ruled out for one reason or the next. But perhaps, there was one more thing he could do.

“Watanabe!? Will you fetch me the canisters, if you please?”

Hearing his assistant call his name, a shorter man hastily grappled three barrels and rolled them out to the room next to him. “Right away sir!” He said, trying to use all his arm strength into the steel cans.

“Excellent!” Shinigami cheered, heading towards a locked door behind him, punching in the password before opening the door. Trudging through the freezer's temperature, he pulled out the see-through can filled with an odd liquid. The only parts of an Angel he personally had on standby.

“If we get enough of these, we might just have a shot. Take a rest for now Watanabe, I’ll take it from here!” Said Shinigami, focusing on his work. One he had been trying to complete for nearly a full year, and a remix of his previous work.

An Angel’s blood.

The only one of its kind, found when Gaghiel’s hide was blown apart by some sort of unknown force. The question of what that was was a home to so many conspiracy theories Shinigami got a headache just thinking about it. It wasn’t important in the grander scheme, however. The scales themselves were much more important.

A company by the name of NERV got in contact with the Doctor, hoping he could help create a perfect counter to the Angels. Cybernetic “clones” of them somewhat, complete with pilots at the helm controlling their every move. They were named “Evangelions”, with an Angels strength and none of their flaws. All they needed was a bit of their DNA to complete their blueprints.

Of course, after he was done, he had to find out where the current NERV headquarters even was.

…. Oh well, he’d think about that later. After all, he still needed something to give them to begin with. He took out the blood, and from another container, he pulled out a small piece of bone from the same beast. All that was left to do was merge them back together and put them in a secure place. He’d leave to take it to NERV first thing in the morning.

“Goodness me professor. Nearly three o’clock already?” Wantanabe questioned, looking at the clock. “I guess that’s what happens when you spend all your time working around. Perhaps it’s time you get some rest.”

Shinigami hadn’t even caught the change in time himself. The only thing he knew was the fact he was up by midnight and hadn’t gone back to sleep since. Looking at a mirror, he only just noticed the bags clouding his eyes. Maybe his friend had a point.

“Well, I suppose. Maybe I’ll sleep till seven and get back to work. Is there anything else I’m missing before I call it shuteyes?”

“Only to schedule your meeting with some of the officials sometime next week.” Wantanabe admitted. “But I can do that anyways. Go get your rest, I’m sure everything out here will be fine!”

Simply nodding, the tired doctor wandered into his bedroom, closed the door, and sat down. Whatever adrenaline rush he was in before immediately faded away, and his eyes almost immediately closed shut. He didn’t even bother dressing in his pajamas, knowing he would crash in seconds.

Yet before he did so, he eyed the picture of his daughter. The only family he ever knew for the longest time, and the only still alive. But she was far away now, exploring the stars by her lonesome. Far away from the rest of mankind….

He could only hope she was proud of him now.

Kissing the photo goodnight, he then shut his eyes and drifted to sleep; feeling as if it would last ten whole hours.

In reality, he didn’t even get ten minutes.

******

Tokyo Bay

Fishing on the dock, an elderly man merely enjoyed the lovely afternoon. He whistles while he works, hunting down his quarry and bringing him back to his boss. Still, he was in no rush. He had all the time in the world.

Hooking a worm on the hook, he cast it out to the open sea and watched it disappear into the depths. Humming to himself again, he merely closed his eyes and enjoyed the ocean breeze.

Until it got awfully strong. Too strong in fact, nearly blowing his hat away. Maybe it was just an unusually strong front, he thought. But it continued, and he soon began to notice even odder things. An entire school of fish swimming away from an unknown visitor….

One whose hands raised to the sky like it came from the bowels of hell.

Pitch black, it just barely gave the fishermen any time to run away before it slammed onto the dock, pulling itself up for all to see while simultaneously lifting the boats into the air with its sheer body mass. It was a humanoid beast, a strange “mask” covering its face and carrying long, spindly arms that reached the knees. A red orb layed nestled within its chest, glowing in the sun's ray as it merely stared ahead, emotionless as a corpse.

In mere moments, Tokyo was shadowed by the Covering of God.

Spoiler:
Venturing closer cautiously, the King raised a hand and let out a short roar, the sound cutting through the air. Any birds that didn't flee the area quickly did so, and the gruesome sounds stopped. Raising their green head, the saurian looked over their shoulder, revealing a long crocodilian head and snout which ended with a mass of teeth on the end of the snout like a mace, yellow blood and orange bits of carapace caking the long jaws with drool dripping down, and two beady yellow eyes fixated on the charcoal saurian behind them.

The ruler of Monster land once heard of the human phrase "the eyes are a window to the soul" from one of his allies, the grinning robot who fought alongside him against the Seatopian Beetle and Cyborg Avian. When he asked what it meant, his friend elaborated that one could figure out what a being was truly like by looking at their eyes, as eyes helped show how one was feeling, such as narrowing in suspicion, and in addition, humans didn't consider eye contact a show of aggression or a threat. In fact, many, if not all looked at the face or somewhere near when they talked with another human.

When he heard this, the Kaiju King couldn't help but agree. He would never forget when he looked into the crimson gaze of the Three Headed Monster and saw nothing but insanity, a crazed look that both matched and explained why he flailed his heads wildly while spewing his crackling beams, not bothering to aim, giggling psychotically all the while.


And when his gaze met the theropod's own, he saw a look that he had seen in the eyes of both Baragon and Gaira. When both arrived on the island, they looked at just about everyone with a look of hunger, sizing them up as a meal. Fortunately, the humans had taken this into account and made sure they got something to keep their appetite stated as often as possible, and eventually both realized the local Kamacuras were abundant enough to have some as a meal, which also kept the population at a level where they wouldn't overrun the island and it's ecosystem. Certainly helped helped Kumonga and Gorosaurus.

However, the difference here was that Gaira saw him at a potential threat and rival predator, acting aggressively. He still did, but he had calmed down a lot and most monsters left him alone aside from his brother. And Baragon had one look and immediately flinched back, hissing defensively. He saw a threat and a rival predator, but was intimidated and fearful of a creature he could tell at first glance was more than he could handle, his actions were out of fear and defensiveness. Didn't help matters that he was a young member of his species. But like Gaira, he had calmed down and matured, and was much more calmer and comfortable.

But unlike either of them there was no such look in the yellow pinpricks. No acknowledgment of a potential rival predator or defensive behavior. This creature didn't care that he was an unknown creature that was unlike and beast that roamed the lands it used to call home. No, all the Violent Wyvern saw was a meal to be slain, torn apart and consumed.

Turning it's pine colored body around, it faced the King, rearing back and puffing out it's chest as it sucked in air before thrusting it forward, it's gore covered jaws parting to let loose a booming roar that sent globs of thick saliva as well as blood and it's of exoskeleton flying and filled the air and shattered any hopes of a peaceful interaction. Powerful legs sprung into action, the theropod breaking into a run, trees shattering and earth quaking from each footfall. In the world it originated from, the sight of a Deviljho barreling towards them like a freight train would send any creature running for the hills to escape the literal jaws of death. But the Father of Minilla looked a literal Destroyer of Worlds in his mad eyes and punched him square in his golden draconic mug. Thus Godzilla, the Monster of Justice and former terror of Japan put up his dukes. If this walking pickle hoped he was going to get an easy meal, well the King of the Monsters was just going to show him otherwise a d make sure he was gonna have a bad time.

However, the corners of his rounded mouth curved down in a frown. As much as he like a good fight, he didn't seek them out,and was upset that it had to come to this. Pushing his feelings aside, Godzilla adjusted his stance and began swaying right to left. There wasn't just hunger in those eyes, but intelligence as well. He would have to be careful, he knew nothing about this monster, and one slip up could be disastrous. He need to be cautious, lest he ended up as a carcass being devoured. And he had no intention of leaving Minilla without a father.

As the Deviljho thundered within Melee range, Godzilla leaned to the left, then quickly threw his weight to the right as the Deviljho snapped his jaws in that direction, his Majesty throwing a fist forward, only to pull in back to avoid it being trapped in the organic bear trap that was the Brute Wyvern's jaws. Unperturbed, the green theropod lunged forward, jaws swing wide open, eager to taste the Kaiju King's blood.
Spoiler:
Oooh, very good! Glad to see the Deviljho get some love.
Getting this bit done for a certain member of the Evangelion family. Hoping this turns out well when it's done.
Spoiler:
It all started when the sky turned red.

While it only lasted a mere minute, it was a terrible sign of what was to come. What started as a normal exhibition to the Antarctic circle soon led to a discovery that heralded the apocalypse. Some say that had the being exhibited more power, the entire planet very well could have tilted on its axis, and perhaps the red skies would have been a permanent stay for future generations to come.

But alas, the all-father still left a new “gift” for the people of Earth to find.

“Adam” they called him, the whereabouts of his body unknown even to most top-secret agents. What was known, however, is that his children wanted to find their father. Not out of any genuine love mind you, if anything, it all stemmed from pure greed and gluttony. A massive lust for power only Adam’s heart could grant them. That was why he was locked away, and even now nobody could find the whereabouts of the strange lifeform.

The children of Adam were collectively named “The Angels”, each one named after a different divine being from Christian Mythology. None of them looked alike in the slightest, but they all did share one key thing: what was labeled as an S2 engine. Perhaps, if it was destroyed, they would be vanquished. But alas, two years after their advent, mankind wasn’t any closer to getting rid of them.

But that was no excuse for giving up.

******

Enter Dr. Shinigami, a leader when it came to science, and seen as one of mankind’s beacons of hope. A man who had overcome the tragedy of his own daughter’s death to save humanity. If perhaps, at the cost of a bit of his sanity. Studying the Angels was a necessity, but it definitely was not easy. With how diverse they were, each one could very well have taken years to narrow down.

Every easy solution he could think of seemed ruled out for one reason or the next. But perhaps, there was one more thing he could do.

“Watanabe!? Will you fetch me the canisters, if you please?”

Hearing his assistant call his name, a shorter man hastily grappled three barrels and rolled them out to the room next to him. “Right away sir!” He said, trying to use all his arm strength into the steel cans.

“Excellent!” Shinigami cheered, heading towards a locked door behind him, punching in the password before opening the door. Trudging through the freezer's temperature, he pulled out the see-through can filled with an odd liquid. The only parts of an Angel he personally had on standby.

“If we get enough of these, we might just have a shot. Take a rest for now Watanabe, I’ll take it from here!” Said Shinigami, focusing on his work. One he had been trying to complete for nearly a full year, and a remix of his previous work.

An Angel’s blood.

The only one of its kind, found when Gaghiel’s hide was blown apart by some sort of unknown force. The question of what that was was a home to so many conspiracy theories Shinigami got a headache just thinking about it. It wasn’t important in the grander scheme, however. The scales themselves were much more important.

A company by the name of NERV got in contact with the Doctor, hoping he could help create a perfect counter to the Angels. Cybernetic “clones” of them somewhat, complete with pilots at the helm controlling their every move. They were named “Evangelions”, with an Angels strength and none of their flaws. All they needed was a bit of their DNA to complete their blueprints.

Of course, after he was done, he had to find out where the current NERV headquarters even was.

…. Oh well, he’d think about that later. After all, he still needed something to give them to begin with. He took out the blood, and from another container, he pulled out a small piece of bone from the same beast. All that was left to do was merge them back together and put them in a secure place. He’d leave to take it to NERV first thing in the morning.

“Goodness me professor. Nearly three o’clock already?” Wantanabe questioned, looking at the clock. “I guess that’s what happens when you spend all your time working around. Perhaps it’s time you get some rest.”

Shinigami hadn’t even caught the change in time himself. The only thing he knew was the fact he was up by midnight and hadn’t gone back to sleep since. Looking at a mirror, he only just noticed the bags clouding his eyes. Maybe his friend had a point.

“Well, I suppose. Maybe I’ll sleep till seven and get back to work. Is there anything else I’m missing before I call it shuteyes?”

“Only to schedule your meeting with some of the officials sometime next week.” Wantanabe admitted. “But I can do that anyways. Go get your rest, I’m sure everything out here will be fine!”

Simply nodding, the tired doctor wandered into his bedroom, closed the door, and sat down. Whatever adrenaline rush he was in before immediately faded away, and his eyes almost immediately closed shut. He didn’t even bother dressing in his pajamas, knowing he would crash in seconds.

Yet before he did so, he eyed the picture of his daughter. The only family he ever knew for the longest time, and the only still alive. But she was far away now, exploring the stars by her lonesome. Far away from the rest of mankind….

He could only hope she was proud of him now.

Kissing the photo goodnight, he then shut his eyes and drifted to sleep; feeling as if it would last ten whole hours.

In reality, he didn’t even get ten minutes.

Tokyo Bay

Fishing on the dock, an elderly man merely enjoyed the lovely afternoon. He whistles while he works, hunting down his quarry and bringing him back to his boss. Still, he was in no rush. He had all the time in the world.

Hooking a worm on the hook, he cast it out to the open sea and watched it disappear into the depths. Humming to himself again, he merely closed his eyes and enjoyed the ocean breeze.

Until it got awfully strong. Too strong in fact, nearly blowing his hat away. Maybe it was just an unusually strong front, he thought. But it continued, and he soon began to notice even odder things. An entire school of fish swimming away from an unknown visitor….

Criticism is appreciated!
Spoiler:
It seems whatever he aimed for, the alien would always take it away. Influence, he had more people willing to follow him than he ever did. Power, he would always lord his over humanity purely out of a sense of altruism. Even presidency of the United States was taken away from him. He had tried to get reelected this year. Everything he wanted, he could force out of the country just like he did before.

When that pretentious and self-righteous twit revealed himself out of his Clark Kent persona, it was no contest. Both the popular and electoral votes came to him in a landslide. Superman would always be there to take everything from him... and now his goals would die in his wake. But Luthor was nothing if not a fighter and he would not take this lying down. Gathering his allies of the together in the lair of the group known as the League of Assassins, he had a plan.

In a cage was a dead serpentine beast. It had a bone like structure with limbs coming out of a scrawny body with long tail. The skull like head lay limb, beady orange eyes staring at nothing. It had lost a battle for territory from avian demons named Gyaos. It was the perfect test subject for recreating their Titan.

He had been defeated by the group of heroes known as the Justice League alongside the Alpha pair Godzilla and Kong. The pair of alpha were now taken to space by aliens known as the Dorakyundo so that was one part of the problem solved. The second was his duty, no his right to dismantle personally. Hardened eyes stared at a monitor, checking his calculations and preparing to slowly lower the cage.

"I may have lost the battle, ... but Luthor does not lose wars," he thought to himself.

From the information the League of Assassins gave him, the Skullcrawler had evolved from the mystical fluids of the Lazarus Pit. It had mutated him somehow and that was what he was counting on. Alongside the Legion of Doom, he would send the evolved Skullcrawler into the city of Metropolis. If he couldn’t win, he could make him wish he didn't. The Justice League would be forced to take action and they would go to war.

Looking into the chamber below, he looked over his allies surrounding the Lazarus Pit. A man in a cape looked down, the owner Ra's al Ghul of this pit watching it at work once again. Another in dark spartan armor known as Ares looked back up at him before looking back at the pit. Only the elite were allowed anywhere in thier group. No more small fry like Cheetah or Bane, he needed the most powerful opponents he could muster against them.

Everything would soon fall into place and he would make the world pay for not treating him the way he should be, should always be. Suddenly, the computer of his workstation exploded blowing him away. The rest of his workstation followed, the air poisoned by fire and smoke as metal and sparks flew. He didn't understand what was going on, this was all out of nowhere! Where was his security system?!

His was so out of sorts both physically and mentally he didn't realize a force reaching for him until it was too late. The force grabbed him in a field and slammed him into the ground. Before he could get up, it coiled around his limbs and body like ropes.

"What is the meaning of this?!" He demanded to know through grit teeth, fighting out of the grip to no avail.

"I can answer that if you'd like," a voice spoke, amplifying his voice over the destruction.

His eyes darted to the source of this mayhem, outrage burning in his soul. What greeted him was a pink skinned man in a yellow jumpsuit. His ring enveloped in a bright glow, being the cause of this. Lighting up his face was a self-assured and malevolent grin.

"We have gotten sick of you," he said.

He was going to demand he elaborate, but the energy ropes dug their way into his veins. He fought not to scream, loud groans blocked between clenched teeth. The creator stuck his index finger up, almost condescending in manner.

"I'll elaborate soon, just be patient... we are sick of your single minded pursuit for one man. All your elaborate plans, all your machinations, all that brilliance in your mind all trained for your pettiness against a single enemy," he continued.

He looked into his eyes, seeing the feiry denial of his words. As far as Sinestro was concerned, he could deny it all he wanted. He knew it, the rest of the legion knew it, and something would be done about it.

"You say humans should be independent without Kal-El, but you know you would have them under your thumb of you could. Independence is wonderful as long as you control that "independence", am I right? It always made me wonder your true reasons, to be honest. Then I considered all your animosity, all your bitter resentment, and it became clear to me... you're jealous."

He relished how furious he became at the accusation, his grin becoming a slimy and indulgent smile. His fighting became even more desperate to break free, not that it made restraining him any harder. It just made all of this that much funnier.

"You want all that love for yourself. You want people to flock to you just as they do with him. You want to be a hero to these people, just like he is. Face reality Lex, for all your advancements and riches the world sees you as the sad little man you truly are," he taunted.

That was fun, but it was time to cut to the chase. He could hear the Skullcrawler roaring. In the monitor, he saw his comrades make way for the enhanced beast. No longer was it a spindly little creature, but a muscle bound beast covered in spikes and armor. His tongue was forked, three pieces flying about as its roars echoed across the cave.

Gone was the simple Skullcrawler... and in its place was a Skullspawn. Despite the ferocity of such a dangerous beast, the legion was unafraid. They made haste obviously, but they did so calmly as if it were a drill. They knew the new plan and as long as they weren't careless, all would be well.

"There's a new order now... our order," he said.

Letting go, he was cautious not to let his guard down. He made sure he didn't have some kind of plan. He did not, the internal injuries and intense hemorrhaging refusing to let him fight back any more. Secure, he left his old boss one last gift before he assumed control just as they elected. He made a shape just above him.

Luthor watched as it donned a cape, had that same costume.and insignia, and that same determined expression. Luthor watched as the source of all his misery took shape, a duplicate of Superman staring down at him. He wanted to scream and roar his defiance. He wanted to break free of these chains, fight his own body if he must, and tear that smile off that arrogant face.

"Do you know what happens when you mess with Lex Luthor?!"

"I will destroy you for what you've done!"

"Nobody treats me like this and gets away with it!"

Many dark and furious thoughts flooded his head one after the other. His injuries screamed at him to stop, but his spirit roared the opposite. Suddenly, one thought rang in his mind...

"What’s the point of any of that?"

... that shot through the rest of his body. Just one thought spoke to his soul the way the rest didn't. His face stopped its contortions and became blank, almost soulless. His body released its tension, calming by a decimal if nothing else with the pain keeping it active. All the negative emotions swirling inside him calmed down, the need to fight dying out. What was the point of continuing this pointless struggle?

He had been bested, simple as that. He became hyperfocused, too single minded to the point it blinded him. An uprising was happening right under his nose and he never saw it. He allowed himself to think about what the traitor said to him. He wasn't one hundred percent accurate about his assessment, but he wasn't entirely wrong either. There were things about Superman that frustrated him.

He was a politician, but Superman won the heart of the people while he never did. He was a rich businessman, but Superman was satisfied with what he had and didn't hunger for what he didn't like he did. Luthor had power in most ways a human could, but Superman surpassed him and shared it. To him, his power was for everyone, not just him. Superman was happy with his life... Luthor wasn't and knew he never would be.

With what little energy he had left, he looked toward Sinestro with the unchanging blank expression. This intrigued Sinestro, an eyebrow raised and arms crossed. It seemed he came to terms with something. If he had to guess, he'd say he realized what they all saw.

"If you have something to say, you only have one chance to say it," he said, rotating his finger to point out the burning lab.

He didn't answer at first, instead looking up at the Superman duplicate about to charge at him. Luthor allowed himself a self-deprecating laugh. It only made sense that the man who made his life miserable was the one to end it. In only a fraction of a second, he was destroyed in a fearsome charge in what would be his final clash with the Man of Steel. That's when he decided to answer, one last word before his final clash with the true Man of Tomorrow...

"Everything in life comes full circle."
