Chapter 2: Monster King Revealed
The Kaiju's eyes carefully stare at the teenager in front over. Her smell and aura... remind him of the ocean.
Flashback
Godzilla lay on his stomach, staring out over the waves. Soon, he heard soft little stomps behind him. He shifts and looks behind him. There, toddling up to him, is his son Godzilla Jr.
"Papa! Look what I just catchy."
"Show me."
The little Kaiju raises his claws, holding a great white shark. It thrashes and snaps.
"Well done. Let it go now, if you don't want to eat it."
"Okies!"
The little Kaiju tossed the shark into the ocean. It landed with a splash and disappeared into the waves. The little Kaiju then sat down next to his father.
"Papa."
"Yes?"
"Will I ever be able to see mama again?"
The older Kaiju thought for a minute. Before turning towards his son and cracking a fanged grin.
"Of course! As soon as you reach your sixth hatching day, we'll go visit her. Okay? Humans are not super friendly with me still."
"Yay! Thank you Papa!"
The little Kaiju nuzzled into the side of his adopted father's massive head. A screech disturbed their quiet time.
"Sounds like big brother Rodan's back with dinner. Go ahead. I'll come in a minute."
"Ok!"
The baby Kaiju toddled off. The Kaiju stared over the waves.
"Miki Saegusa. Thank you."
The Kaiju stood up, and went to join his allies and son.
Flashback end
The Kaiju snaps out of the flashback. The teenager in front of him resembles that woman. He knows they aren't the same, yet he makes a decision to protect her. He kneels before her. And speaks.
"Greetings. I am Gojira, King of the Kaiju. Who are you?"
"M-m-my names Sicilia Amir Ocexus the Third. Greeting."
The Kaiju stands up, and realizes the princess is only up to his shoulder. But they soon heard a shout.
"Princess!"
An arrow suddenly pierced the kaiju's forehead. He stumbles back and pulls it from his head. The wound closes, and he tosses the arrow away. He looks back at the princess to see three other women standing around her, like guards.
"Wait! He saved me! Don't hurt him!"
"He did?"
"Yes!"
"I... apologize. It's just that this a battlefield and we have just fought off an army."
"It is fine. I have had worse wounds."
"I see. Let us return to the castle. The Queens must be worried about you."
"Right."
The party departs, Gojira following behind them. Soon they arrive in front of large gates. The guards let them pass, eyeing Gojira curiously. As they walk through the city, Gojira notices people with animal parts. He stares interestedly at them, before a large castle slowly comes into view. They start to climb the long and wide staircase. Several passerby start to cheer as they see the princess. Her allies push the doors open, and they enter the halls of the castle. They take a left, and arrive at another large set of doors. The princess knocks. A moment of silence, before the doors swing open. Inside the room, revealing a long table with multiple elegant women.
"Sicilia! My baby!"
The older woman hugs her daughter, before noticing the Kaiju.
"Oh? And who is this?"
"This is Gojira. He calls himself the King of the Kaiju."
"Kaiju? What is that."
The Kaiju thinks for a moment, before responding.
"Well there is multiple meanings. Giant monster, god-like being, titanic creature."
"Oh. And if you're the king..."
"I'm the strongest out of them all. I've faced beasts that could make one of your Gods tremble."
"Oh yeah?! Name one."
"King Ghidorah. Three headed golden alien dragon who consumed worlds. Although I had help, I managed to decapitate his middle head. And that fucker brought civilizations to ruin, wiped out entire races, and an overgrown caterpillar, an overgrown pterodactyl, and and mutated dinosaur beat him up. It's hilarious."
It is not hilarious for the others present here, as they stare at the Kaiju with a newfound fear. A woman with large horns frowns and stares at the boy, her eyes changing colors as she stares at the teen in front of her. The body of the boy became a black outline, and then she peers into his soul. But suddenly, her vision goes dark, before everything erupts into flames. And she cane face to face with something terrifying.
The woman screams in terror, and covers her face. The other queens gather around her and attempt to help her up, but catch glimpses of the same creature. They all quietly turn towards the Kaiju, who stares in confusion in return.
"We just saw... a strange creature. When we touched Camila just now, we saw and image of a burning landscape and a beast with a maw filled with bright blue flames. It was after she looked at you with her Eyes of the Soulseer. What exactly was that?"
The Kaiju sighs, before he close his eyes. They open again, and bright blue flames erupt from the socket.
"That creature and I are one and the same. I already told you that I go by many names, but my most known name is Gojira, God of Destruction and King of the Monsters. Pleasure to officially meet you, Queens of this World."
