Godzilla: Giant Monster Armageddon

Chapter 1: Signs

January 2, 2012: The Japan Sea

A small fleet of three fishing boats moved through the choppy seas. They had caught a haul of mackerel, and were returning to port in Yokohama. Eiji, an old fisherman, was on deck with Shiro, a younger man. "Rough weather, huh?" said Shiro. "I've seen worse." Eiji replied. The old man felt uneasy. Having fished these waters for some 44 years, he had developed an intuitive sense of how things felt around here. Not ESP, just...a feeling. And something definitely felt wrong, sort of like that feeling one gets on a dark night, as though someone...or something...was watching. "What's wrong?" Shiro asked. "Not sure. Just have a funny feeling..." Suddenly, the deck was rocked, knocking both men off their feet. "A tidal wave!" Shiro shouted. "N-no...look!" stammered Eiji. Both men looked. A great serpent-like thing loomed above them. It disappeared beneath the waves, and before the fishermen could do anything, they, the ship, and the rest of the crew were pulled beneath the waves.

Flight 406 to Tokyo from LA was almost there. About time, thought Jeffrey Smith. He and his Japanese-American wife, Emiko, were going to Tokyo for a vacation, and to visit her family. It had been a long flight, and both of them were eager to touch down. "Look, Jeff!" said Emiko, who had the window seat. Jeff leaned over and looked out the window. At first he though he was looking at another plane, but the wings moved. "Too big to be a bird." he muttered. "But what...?" All of a sudden, the thing changed it's course and flew towards the plane. Jeff and Emiko barely had time to scream before the hurricane-force sonic boom the thing left in it's wake destroyed the plane.

"Hey, Tomoyuki!" Inoshiro said. "Hello" Tomoyuki said to his friend, looking up from the newpaper he was reading. "What are you reading about?" Inoshiro asked. "A plane blew up a couple days ago on it's way to Tokyo from Los Angeles. No one knows why." "Weird. Maybe the engine overloaded and blew up somehow." "Yeah, maybe," said Tomoyuki. "Or maybe it was monsters." "Ha! You would think it was monsters." And then the ground shook. "Aah! Earthquake!" Tomoyuki yelled. Then, the two friends saw a great mound of earth rushing at them like a wave. They stared, then started to run, but were engulfed and killed. Meanwhile, entire buildings were swallowed up into a chasm, while seismic activity monitoring stations around the country detected a series of tremors with a moving epicenter.

Chapter 2: King of the Monsters

January 7, 2012: The Japan Sea

Godzilla poked his head out of the waves and looked around. The atomic reptile had been swimming inland for the past few days, and finally was in shallow enough water to stand in. His yellow eyes fell on the JSDF Navy destroyer several hundred meters way. He remembered that these were enemies and roared to intimidate it into leaving. That had the opposite effect, for the destroyer fired it's stinging projectiles at him. Godzilla did not know or care that the destroyer was searching for whatever sunk three fishing boats several days ago, not him specifically, all he knew was that it was an enemy to be defeated. Godzilla focused his seething elemental power, and destroyed the ship with his thermonuclear breath. He then continued to make his way inland.

Later, that evening, Godzilla emerged from Tokyo Bay and entered the city. As he marched through the streets, he noticed destruction everywhere. Clearly, there was another kaiju here. He soon spotted the other kaiju: it was a bipedal reptile, like himself, but much more frail-looking. Zilla roared at the newcomer, challenging him to battle. Godzilla roared back, and both creatures charged. The ground shook every time one of the massive creatures took a step. Zilla was faster, and slammed into Godzilla. The monster king stood his ground, and punched his foe in the head. Zilla roared in pain, this was going to be harder than sinking a few fishing boats. Godzilla grunted as the mutant iguana kicked him in the gut, then roared in pain when Zilla chomped his shoulder. He retaliated by seizing Zilla and throwing him clean through a skyscraper. Before he could press the advantage, Megalon burst from the ground in front of him! Zilla rose to his feet, and both monsters faced off with Godzilla.

Chapter 3: Invasion

January 7, 2012: Tokyo

Megalon charged and battered Godzilla with his drills. The atomic monster fought back, and managed to overpower Megalon. Zilla attempted a surprise attack, but was swatted by Godzilla's tail. Megalon shot a napalm bomb from his mouth, which burst into flames as soon as it struck Godzilla. The king roared in pain as the flames scorched his body. He retaliated by tripping Megalon with his tail, then throwing him on top of Zilla. Godzilla then blasted them with his ray, with the more durable Megalon taking most of it. Godzilla roared at his injured foes, warning them not to attack again. Suddenly, both dissappeared in a blinding flash of light. Godzilla blinked in confusion, and looked around to make sure the weren't hiding from him. Eventually, satisfied that they were gone, he roared in victory and returned to the sea.

"The world is under seige!" the new anchor announced dramatically. "Giant monsters, who are normally very rare, have been reported in many of the world's greatest cities. The plantlike mutation Biollante has returned and is making it's way through Los Angeles, while the famous flying monster Rodan is in New York City. Internationally, the dinosaur monster Anguirus has been reported in Mexico City, while Gorosaurus attacks Sao Paulo, Brazil. London, Paris, and Berlin are under attack from Megalon, Megaguirus, and Mothra, respectively. All three are giant insects. Battra is attacking Shanghai, Gigan has been sighted in Cairo, and Zilla ravages Tokyo. The Global Defense Forces are spread to thin to deal with all these monster threats, though they are trying their very hardest. The UN has declared a state of international emergency, though it urges everyone not to panic. Now over to Juanita Lopez in Mexico City for an on-the-spot report of events there..."
