It had not been too long since he had killed off the Mother Legion. And yet, Gamera didn’t feel like it was much of a victory. His connection to the Earth told him that he had damaged it terribly by drawing on its mana as a last resort. It might not have been a problem back when it had plenty to spare, but it had suffered many, many injustices lately.

He had known beforehand what the humans had done to the Earth, his psychic link to connection to Asagi told him everything, but he had never truly felt it like this. They had done so much, an impossible amount of horrible things. No matter how much good was done, another step back followed thereafter. And in all truth...he found he couldn’t really think of the good things anymore. All they had done was cower behind him while his body broke down, while he screamed in agony, while he begged for someone to save him.

But now, he could find that. There were other guardians, other beings that he knew existed to defend the world. He had seen some of them sink with Atlantis, but there had to be more, there had to be. And he knew where to look. Every minute, Gamera submerged deeper into the blackness of the inky sea. Every moment, his soul rose higher. He still had some mana left over, enough to revive at least one or two! He would never be alone again not like with Asagi. Finally, the time came for the light to shine on him. He made a ball of plasma in his maw to see and...

An endless graveyard. A thousand bodies scattered across the sea floor, thrown out in random patterns. Trash. The mountain of failures before him. He was no different from these bleached, twisted skeletons. It had been nothing but dumb luck. A hero for the world and for humanity? A symbol of hope and a friend to children? No, just another failure who differed from these skeletons simply by virtue of being alive. A useless savior.

Gamera screamed. He screamed and no one heard him except himself. And soon, even he didn’t hear it anymore. A war machine didn’t hear screams.

It wasn’t until a second after Nancy removed the dismembered wing from on top of her that something much larger than anything on the island was looming over her and Kong was starting to threat bark at something up above and slowly turned around to see the giant hell-turtle staring her down.

Nancy: “…I really am dead and in hell, aren’t I?”

Nancy, being a human lacking what most kaiju had to communicate to each other with, couldn’t interpret the growls from the beast as anything but possible attempts at showing light aggression.

Kong stood between Nancy and Gamera growling as she slowly took a few steps back. The gorilla was able to understand the giant turtle, though he found his dialect unfamiliar. He felt it unwise to let something that had just hit Nancy with what he can only assume was its prey not long ago stay on the island and cause further harm, but at the same time he had the impression he may very well not be able to stop him, not fast enough anyways.

Kong: <Do what you want but cause no harm.>

Steam billowed from Gamera’s mouth and in a very human gesture, he nodded. More than most any giant beast, he knew humanity. Gamera reached down with a massive clawed hand, gripping the Gyaos’s disembodied wing. He hurled it into the air and in a flash of plasma like a second sun in the sky, Gamera finished extirpating every last trace of the abominable creature. It was the least he could do for this pristine place, one of the few still left in the world that fell into deeper foulness every day. He would not allow the meat of a Gyaos to taint it, not yet.

He could take a break from causing harm for just a day. Just a short break. He looked awkwardly at the blood that stained the ground from where the wing had originally landed and let out a short, supplicating rumble. He would help get rid of that, if they wanted.

Gamera tore the wing from a Gyaos with a savage bite, letting the great membrane crash to the ground in spasms while he finished off the crippled flier in a burst of flaming plasma that rained down around the sea. Of course, the torn off wing still had to land somewhere, and it seemed like that would be right atop the fabled 50 foot woman’s head. 

Not that Gamera noticed as he came blasting down from the sky, extending his legs for a skidding landing as he approached the wing. He didn’t want a piece of it to survive.

His gaze scoured the wing, but it saw the unnaturally huge shape beneath it too. For a moment, he was baffled. No human got that big. Was he hallucinating?

[50ftlegend]

Nancy: Ow! Shit!

Nancy fell to the ground as the wing collided with her head. Kong jolted to the side barking, completely caught off guard by the fallen wing.

The giantess lifted the wing up over her head and threw it as the kaiju approached them both, Kong taking a step back and readying for an attack with an alert look on his face.

[justicemonster]

Piercing eyes glared down at the much smaller creatures, almost staring through them. It was as if he was looking at something else, something that made flames bubble up in his throat. The Gyaos wing filled up his sight, filled him with an overwhelming urge to destroy. And yet...the giant human was unmistakable. The giant ape too was impossible to miss. They were unnaturally sized, but with how small they were compared to him, he could almost imagine they were normal for a moment. He couldn’t just ignore them like he forced his mind to ignore the “collateral damage”.

Gamera’s plasma furnace slowly wound down and the giant turtle leaned down in exhaustion, his whole form slumping. He nodded his head slowly in acknowledgement of their presence before dipping his head mildly. 

They were lords of this domain. He asked permission to stay here for a while.

I’ll admit I made a mistake, but don’t you dare say that my loyalty means nothing. I did what I had to in order to survive. I thought my Alpha, my friend, had been killed. Since you insist a revolt in the titans would have been a good idea, why didn’t you do it? Where were you during the whole mess with Ghidorah? Why didn’t you rally the titans or go and face down Ghidorah yourself? You’re obviously stronger than me, so why didn’t you do something?

A dozen, dozen spears lunging from the alien queen’s face and impaling him everywhere, flaying his deepest and softest parts and exposing them for all to see.

His shoulder vanishing in an explosion of hellish agony, only adding to the emerald gore bursting from his body after the queen’s legs had punctured his shell in punishment for stalling her attack on the humans.

Every single bone in his body snapping in a single instant as his skin was obliterated by the Legion’s flower, having used his body as a shield to stop the worst of it.

SHATTERING HIS CONNECTION WITH HUMANITY, BETRAYING THE EARTH’S TRUST IN HIM, ONLY FOR THE GYAOS TO BECOME A PLAGUE ONCE MORE.

“I died fighting. I gave up my body, my soul, and my friends in order to defeat the Legion. You didn’t even shed a single drop of blood until Mothra was forced to make you.”

Cont. from [x]

“What respect? Respect for submitting to whatever Titan so much as looks at him? And if he is your son, so much the worse for attacking his own mother to save his own hide. Mothra, I truly do not see anything that warrants my respect. He’ll have to settle for my disdain if he is lucky.”

{{He is not the only Titan to bow to Ghidorah’s alpha call. In fact, most others did that hydra’s bidding without question or challenge. At least my son fought to the best of his abilities. Besides, as his mother, I’d far rather him choose to live, even if it means battling me. You are entitled to your opinion, but I do not appreciate this tone of moral superiority. In nature, all creatures seek to preserve their survival. Rodan is only heeding his instinct. Not everyone can be Godzilla, and not everyone should be.}}

[justicemonster]

“The best of his abilities? He only tried until he felt pain. He could have fled to find you, to rally the others to his cause. Instead, he not only merely submitted, but actively aided the alien. Had you, Godzilla, and Rodan all joined forces, the dragon would have stood no chance whatsoever. Instead...”

“Hrrrr....Not everyone should be Godzilla. Some are weak enough that they have to be protected. That much is true. However, he had strength that he squandered, loyalty which he trampled, and courage which he forgot. He could have been something great, and that is why I know his moral failure.”

[justicemonster]

"Warned you not to insult Rodan."

“It’s the hard truth. Better to swallow that bitter pill than choke on a lie. Let him challenge the insult himself, if he dares. Change my mind, if he can.”

[justicemonster]

Well, aren’t you a rude and judgmental asshole? Maybe you should know the whole story before you decide to go around and insult people?

Flames boil in Gamera’s maw, his furnace roaring to life and making steam burst from his shell’s seams.

“What is there to know? What excuse do you have? I know that you betrayed the whole Earth to spare your own hide, that is an insult you brought on yourself.”

[justicemonster]

{{Excuse you! My son is not a joke. He is a perfectly respectable firebird.}}

“What respect? Respect for submitting to whatever Titan so much as looks at him? And if he is your son, so much the worse for attacking his own mother to save his own hide. Mothra, I truly do not see anything that warrants my respect. He’ll have to settle for my disdain if he is lucky.”

“You are a human though. Your screams are humanity’s screams. To our kind, there is no difference. Just like how you would not be able to tell apart the screams of the old Godzilla from the new one.”

“Yeah, but I can definitely tell the difference between a young member of Godzilla’s species and a full grown roar? Just like you can tell the difference between a squeaking lion cub and a roaring lioness. One is definitely not very scary while the other is.” 

[justicemonster]

“When it comes to screaming, you humans don’t really develop much further than what you’re at right now. If you’re going to use the lioness example, it’d be a sub-adult and an adult. The difference isn’t so large. Screams of defiance don’t really age as much as you might think. I’ve heard children scream and then heard their adult selves scream; I still recognized each one. Every last one.”

[justicemonster]

"Wait. Why would my scream be scary?"

“Well, actually, I distracted Ghidorah with the ORCA which, granted, the noises are mixes of human cries with Titan cries, but me screaming was just me refusing to be afraid of him…”

“You are a human though. Your screams are humanity’s screams. To our kind, there is no difference. Just like how you would not be able to tell apart the screams of the old Godzilla from the new one.”

[justicemonster]

"Wait. Why would my scream be scary?"

“It just is. Why else would human screams terrify Ghidorah so much that he would throw away all of his plans to try to silence the source of them? Why else would they drive the Mother Legion’s soldiers into such frenzied attacks?”

[madisonxrussell]

justicemonster‌:

“A fiery bird that lives in volcanoes? That sounds a lot like Rodan. Maybe go and ask him if he’s in fact a giant flamingo. If he is, I think I’ll have proven my point about how scary they are.” 

“Hey! You don’t get to make fun of Rodan. I like Rodan.” Besides, it wasn’t a Titan’s purpose to be terrifying all the time. They were multi-faceted and complex people just as much as humans were. “Most people wouldn’t think I’m frightening, but I’m in fact very dangerous.”  

[justicemonster]

Gamera didn’t.

“Any joke I could make about him isn’t half as bad as the joke he made out of himself.”

“And you, you can be scarier when you grow up. Besides, as far as children go, that roar of yours was pretty scary.” Scary humans weren’t defined by their physicality like with Titans, who wore that power on their skin as though a brand. It was simply the difference of classes between his kind and hers.

“I quiver in fear.”

Gamera’s eyes roll into the back of his head as if he’s about to start spinning, but it’s really just plain sarcasm.

“What special abilities would such a titan even have? Talons and sharp beak are not very present among flamingos. Then again, fangs and fire are not very prevalent among turtles either” he conceded.

“Probably something having to do with fire. It’s in their names, after all.” The word ‘flame’ was included there for a reason. “Likely very, very durable, too, considering that even normal flamingos can survive in volcanic lakes and other weird places.” 

[justicemonster]

“A fiery bird that lives in volcanoes? That sounds a lot like Rodan. Maybe go and ask him if he’s in fact a giant flamingo. If he is, I think I’ll have proven my point about how scary they are.” 

[madisonxrussell]

justicemonster‌:

“Hmph. Be that as it may, their bodies won’t ever scare me. Strength of will or heart maybe, but I must confess, I find the idea of neon pink and loud squeaks more the kind of thing to leave me cackling.”

Unsurprisingly, the very same monster who had modified his body to be literally and figuratively more edgy seemed to be getting quite a laugh out of the brilliant birds.

“Flamingos come in very different shades of pink and red depending on the shrimp they eat and their species. So not every flamingo is neon pink. In fact, most aren’t. Those are mostly lawn ornaments.”

"What if there was a giant flamingo titan?"

“Hey, flamingos are awesome! They can survive in the most extreme climates on the planet.”

“Hmph. Be that as it may, their bodies won’t ever scare me. Strength of will or heart maybe, but I must confess, I find the idea of neon pink and loud squeaks more the kind of thing to leave me cackling.”
