Chapter Four
Returning to his volcano, Rodan landed on the crater's edge. Ignoring the lava that was running over his clawed feet, he peered down inside. Sure enough, Ghidorah was down there. Sensing the prescence of someone else, San looked up. "Hi Rodan!" he squeaked. Crap... the Fire Demon thought. He didn't want to be caught. Spreading his wings, he was about to fly away, maybe take refuge with one of his close friends. However, he never left the ground. The other two heads had saw him. Without hesitation, the trio fired a gravity beam, striking a large rock that the King of the Skies was standing on and caused it to explode. Now in the air but not flying, Rodan grumbled, "I hate my life..." A second later, he fell into the crater. Crashing against some of the sharp rocks that made up the wall, the prehistoric reptile rolled down and only came to a stop when he bumped into Ghidorah's foot. Bruised and shaking, he lifted his gaze.
Though he was one of the larger Titans, Rodan could not match the size of Ghidorah. The three headed dragon was much taller, much heavier and a very long wingspan. Most of all, he was much more dangerous. Scrambling to his feet, the Fire Demon was desperate to get away. But he was too slow as the False King lifted his foot and pinned him to the ground. Fear building up inside of him, the prehistoric reptile looked up at his former Alpha. Maybe he could fool them with trickery. Gulping nervously, he remarked, "Haven't seen you guys for awhile. Ni, you seem to be losing weight. About time. You all have very nice scales."
"Aw, thank you. You have nice scales too," San replied, the easiest one to fool. Ichi hissed at his little brother, obviously not fooled. His ruby red eyes narrowing to slits, Ni snapped, "ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT?!" Before his brothers or Rodan could say or do anything, the aggressive right head lunged forward and chomped down on the prehistoric reptile's right shoulder. Hearing the bone crunch underneath his skin, the Fire Demon let out a bloodcurdling screech. The bite was a thousand times worse than what Ni had done when he and his brothers had dropped into the ocean not too long ago. His teeth digging deeper and deeper into flesh, the dragon began moving his head side to side, tearing it savagely. It was complete agony for Rodan. Watching as his more bloodthirsty brother attacked their former ally, Ichi grinned sinisterly, pleased by this action. San, on the otherhand, was horrified. Looking up at his eldest brother, he whimpered, "Ichi, can't you make him stop? Please?" Glancing over at the left head, the middle sighed and gently tapped on the right's neck with their wing. Getting the message, Ni reluctantly let his prize go. By now, bones were broken and muscles were torn in Rodan's shoulder. There was orange blood coating his dark red scales and Ni's mouth and fangs. Looking up at the three headed dragon, he cried, "What do you want from me?!"
"We want nothing from you," Ichi hissed, his forked tongue slipping in and out of his mouth. Slowly raising his foot off of Rodan's back, he went on, "We just needed to teach you a lesson. A lesson on what happens when you fail and betray us." Struggling to his feet, the Fire Demon tried to crawl away but was quickly whacked by one of the two tails that the False King possessed. Crashing against the rock wall, he screeched as more pain went up his spine and his wounded shoulder. Towering above the One Born of Fire, Ghidorah snarled, "And the lesson isn't over yet traitor."
Without warning, all three heads lunged forward and attacked without mercy.
