Daikaiju Epicenter - Arc IV: Arcane Aftershocks

Summary:

It has been 5 years since the fall of the Hellbent Overlord's empire. Rasta's Troop has since returned to the Hollow Earth and have since rebuilt their colony. They still mourn their losses, but see a bright future ahead of them as they begin to expand and reclaim the home their species once had dominion over long ago...

Godzilla has not been seen since San Francisco, he has not left Birth Island and Monarch is not sure why. Neither him or Gojirin have been sighted in the 5 years since San Francisco... and soon they may discover why.

Venator has been working tirelessly to erect Anti-Kaiju walls to defend major cities around the globe. The UN grows wary of the Kaiju as such a large amount of them were not expected to have come up from the Hollow Earth at once. As such they have redirected Monarch's focus to finding these Hollow Earth entrances and guarding them... research to enter the Hollow Earth is underway.

The United Nations have established a new organization: International Kaiju Defense Corps in response to the Battle of San Francisco, serving as the line of defense against attacking Kaiju.

All in all, the world has been at peace for these 5 years...

But that's all about to change...

Chapter Text

Antarctica

11,700 Years Ago…

 

The winds of the Winter Storm around Antarctica howled through the vast mountains and fields of ice as the horizon glowed a faint yellow that accompanied the clouds. The storm generated was something otherworldly. It was unnatural…

 

King Ghidorah fired his Gravity Beams upon Godzilla as he flung him aside, sending the Sub-adult Gojira into a nearby ice wall before turning his attention to the other opponents that stood against him. His own ally, Gigan, was clashing against two large insectoid kaiju that resembled the moths that inhabited regions of this world.

 

Anguirus rolled forward at high speeds as he prepared to slam into the Three Headed Monster. His spikes pierced through the hard ice beneath him, before slamming into Ghidorah’s body and puncturing his golden skin. 

 

Sickly black blood leaked from his wounds and dyed the snow black before closing up from the Golden Demise’s regenerative healing. King Ghidorah’s three heads hissed loudly, lifting one of his wings to strike the ankylosaur Kaiju with great force.

 

However, the dragon’s wings were suddenly grasped tightly as a large Gojira pulled it away. Ghidorah turned his left head to see the Gojira gripping it, their body covered in vines and plants. He could have sworn he saw a few trees along their back.

 

Demeter held tightly as she roared to another Gojira nearby, who lunged out to grab Ghidorah’s remaining wing. Eleuthia stood out against the white of the Antarctic ice with her markings of the Iwi sprawled across her entire body. 

 

The two siblings pulled Ghidorah towards a large mountain of ice. Ghidorah was slammed through it, causing it to collapse upon him. Despite the millions of tons of ice atop him, the Golden Demise shot back up and flapped his wings hard, blowing the two back.

 

His Gravity Beams began to build up charge, all three sets of eyes and his throats glowing a bright gold as he prepared to blast Mothra and Battra battling Gigan nearby. Given their relative weak durability, they would be turned to ash from the attack. 

 

A sudden stabbing pain made itself aware within Ghidorah’s midsection, before he looked down and saw a sharp trident make its way through his torso. The bluish green Orichalcum glowed slightly as powerful jets of water stabbed through his back like blades.

 

Poseidon wore a set of armor around himself, made from the same Orichalcum the Atlanteans used to construct their cities and his trident. He appeared much more built for the ocean, with fins along his tail and curved dorsals akin to sharks.

 

The Gojira lifted up Ghidorah with his trident, sending out a highly pressurized water burst that seemed to separate into blades that began cutting deep into his flesh. Each one continued grinding and spinning into the dragon, separating entire chunks from his body.

 

Poseidon jumped upwards, preparing to stab Ghidorah through the chest once again. Yet, as he prepared to thrust up, Ghidorah quickly regenerated, reconnecting his severed heads, wings, and legs, firing his gravity beams and throwing the Gojira aside.

 

Before the Golden Demise had any time to return to his fight, two blasts of Atomic Breath fired from another Gojira as Ghidorah stumbled backwards. Two Gojira stood side by side while they continued to keep the pressure on…

 

Hephaestus and Artemis, two Gojiras who cared for nature greatly. Yet, Hephaestus held a hate over humanity concerning their potential to destroy the environment. Unlike her sibling, Artemis cared for all living things equally.

 

Despite Hephaestus clashing with Eleuthia about their views on humanity, this was the only time he ever came together to work with her on this… 

 

Godzilla jumped back into the fray as he joined his brother and sister in firing at Ghidorah. He was putting every ounce of strength he had into the attack to try and stop him.

 

King Ghidorah’s flesh seared and burned despite his immense durability. His wing membranes only provided so much protection from the three Kaiju, but it was enough for him to slowly begin to walk towards them. 

 

However, Ghidorah suddenly gagged and coughed as he felt a large object pierce through his back and out his torso. His Golden Glow of his gravity beams charging vanished away as he screamed in unmatched agony. The Atomic Breath attacks were seemingly being absorbed by the massive sword, turning the blade an almost heavenly white.

 

Minerva, the eldest child of Kyoshin and Gaia, held the massive blade within her hands. Despite not being primates, the Gojira had hands that allowed them to grasp and hold objects without issue.

 

The blade was crafted by the same Atlanteans who made Poseidon’s armor and trident, allowing it to now possess the abilities of energy absorption.

 

Minerva swung upwards diagonally, cleaving Ghidorah’s left side and wing right off without any problems. The Golden Dragon whipped around, trying to back away while she swung again. This time, her blade severed the left and right heads, leaving only the middle head.

 

Ghidorah tried regenerating, but he couldn’t. The heat from the blade was burning his wounds shut and making regeneration harder, evident in the appearance of the burnt flesh tearing and stretching to try and reform his severed limbs.

 

The Three Headed Monster turned his remaining head to face Gigan retreating into space. That was their plan: should Ghidorah be defeated or sealed away, Gigan would retreat back to the stars and to his creators, only returning when he inevitably reawakened.

 

Ghidorah tried summoning a burst of wing lightning, only for his storm to begin flickering and dying out. Aether, another child of Gaia, was manipulating the storms around the area to reduce it to little more than a small cloud. She was the only counter to the massive Category 10 Hurricane Ghidorah produced.

 

Enraged, the Three Headed Monster increased the strength of his regeneration. His two heads burst from the stumps where they once were and roared an alien screech, ready to continue fighting once more.

 

Yet, as he got up to fight once more, Ghidorah was suddenly struck by at Atomic Breath attack by Godzilla, with another Gojira that glowed pink joining him in blasting the Golden Demise. 

 

Minerva, Hephaestus, Aether, Demeter, Eleuthia, Artemis, and Poseidon joined in the attack. Atomic Blasts of Azure, Emerald, and Amber light joined the two Gojira in their attack.

 

Yet, from afar, another child of Gaia stood ready, firing his own Atomic Breath at Ghidorah. Apollo was unlike his other siblings. He displayed deep curiosity towards others and was always seeking to know about the past. He was unusually intelligent and rather non-aggressive and much like his mother and some of his siblings, he considered himself to be a pacifist.

 

But with the world at risk of being destroyed by this massive Golden Monster, he made an exception to being a pacifist.

 

Ghidorah screeched and hissed in pain, watching as Rodan, Mothra, and Battra flew overhead, firing God Ray bursts and Magma Beams that seared away his flesh and left his skin raw and burnt.

 

The beams suddenly stopped striking him, his regeneration slowed significantly. Mothra and Battra suddenly divebombed towards him, striking him with their raptorial limbs and pinning his jaws closed with their silk.

 

Apollo, with his siblings next to him, quickly shouted out an order to the mountains of ice nearby. "DO IT NOW!"

 

It was well known that Apollo was extremely intelligent, having an IQ of 350 to 400. Some believed he had clairvoyance that allowed him to see into the past and possibly into the future. When his brother came to his siblings for their help to seal Ghidorah, Apollo knew of two creatures that would be of help… a pair of Shimolochs.

 

From the mountains, two massive Kaiju slid down towards the incapacitated Ghidorah. Their appearance was reminiscent of some kind of Asian Pachycephalosaur, their skin pure white and backs adorned with dark blue crystals.

 

The two massive creatures slammed into Ghidorah together, knocking him into a massive pit in the ice. The crystals upon their backs began to pulse brightly, shifting to an icy glow…

 

Before Ghidorah could try to get out of the massive hole he found himself in, the two massive lizards fired their beams into the hole. Ice began to crawl across his body and wings, his roars muffled by the silk covering his mouth before he became fully entombed within the cold ice.

 

The Golden Demise was sealed…

Notes:

New Era has begun! I know its short, but believe me when I say there will be longer ones coming up soon. Things are quite peaceful, right? It wont be for long...

The Shimolochs may come off as an original creation, but they've been around for a while. The hint is in the name itself.
