KING OF THE MONSTERS

“This was how mortals found fame, I thought. Through practice and diligence, tending their skills like gardens until they glowed beneath the sun. But gods are born of ichor and nectar, their excellences already bursting from their fingertips. So they find their fame by proving what they can mar: destroying cities, starting wars, breeding plagues and monsters. All that smoke and savor rising so delicately from our altars. It leaves only ash behind.” - Madeline Miller _______________________________ Independent composite Godzilla. Banner artwork by @G0966

All her years of fighting zombies taught her to never lower her weapon when confronted with monsters. She does notice that the creature has intelligence behind its eyes. For some reason, it is choosing not to attack.

Jill doesn't relax quite yet. She just inches forward to approach the door, curiosity taking hold. She points at the door, an obstacle to the both of them. "You want in?"

[kaiju-no-ou]

"Hrf!" Godzilla grunts angrily at the kong and slams her tail on the ground as an intimidation display. Its noises are foreign to Godzilla; the tiny kongs never spoke so softly in her presence. Always shouts of terror as they ran, or shouts of anger as they fired their skra. Every fiber of Godzilla's being is telling her to attack the creature, but Mothra's wishes cause her to hesitate. The other kaiju had a kinship with some of these tiny kongs, and would often ask of Godzilla to attempt the same. A low growl rumbles in her throat as her posture slowly de-escalates. She snaps her teeth in frustration, her tail swishing as she considers what to do in this situation.

After a few tense moments, the two beings watching the other for any sign of aggression, Godzilla takes a step back.

"Rrrh. Yyyyy-...Yyy...oo. Wa-at. En." Surprising both of them, Godzilla's new physiology seems to be similar to that of the kong's. Her voice is coarse, rough, as if formed by a creature other than man - but it is undoubtedly an attempt at speech.

Jill takes a few more steps back as the creature tries to break down the door. Godzilla didn't seem to notice her, so that was good. Jill decides that rather than attacking and becoming a target for a creature whose biology she was completely unfamiliar with, she'd just... try to walk past it. Surely an Umbrella facility would have more than one door.

A casual stroll past the raging monster seems to work. After moving to a safe(?) distance, she realizes that she can't very well let Godzilla run around. She doesn't know the beast's intentions yet. "Oh boy." She braces herself before calling out to it, her weapon still at the ready.

"Hey!" Worst case scenario, she can call for backup.

[kaiju-no-ou]

Her head snaps in the direction of the voice almost before the words even escape the small kong's lips. Her teeth bared, she adopts an intimidation posture. "Hra!" Her eyes settle on the object in its hands. Godzilla is familiar with these things, the false skra the kongs would use against her. Although ineffective in her original form, it is a show of defiance - the kongs do not accept her reign. "HRAA!" She huffs loudly at the kong, obviously demanding it to lay down its arms.

The only thing keeping Godzilla from using force against the kong is the wishes of her queen, Mothra, who was inexplicably fond of the creatures. Godzilla does not understand her fascination, but the tiny kongs do not represent a real threat to the world - yet. So, for now, Godzilla begrudgingly acquiesces.

Jill had finally been able to take on missions on her own again, having finally earned back the trust of the BSAA. Although initially reckless, Jill had gotten back into the swing of fighting B.O.W.s again.

She jumped on an available mission in Kyoto, Japan. Jill had family there, which gave her extra incentive to keep B.O.W.s from running rampant. Unfortunately, despite the difficult years apart, she didn't have time to visit her family yet.

Following a tip, she went directly to an abandoned Umbrella facility on the city's outskirts. She expected the place to be picked clean of all samples and documents after the company's fall.

Jill hadn't been expecting to see a B.O.W. that was roughly 8 and a half feet tall. She cranes her neck up to stare at it, her body immediately going on the defensive. She takes a few steps back, drawing her firearm.

"What the fuck?"

[kaiju-no-ou]

"Hrf...hrf hrf..."

Godzilla sniffs the air as she paces around the facility. Her tail thumps against the ground in frustration; she smells the sasa, deep underground, but she cannot find a way into the building. "Hraaa!" She roars defiantly and takes a few steps back before tackling the wall with her broad, armored shoulders. She cracks the wall of the building, but it remains stubborn. "Rfaaa!" She huffs in exasperation as she spins around and slams the wall once more with her tail; again, her efforts are in vain. "SKREEEEEEEONK!!" She bellows loudly at the building, echoes reverberating through town. Nothing indicates that she is aware of her visitor as she remains concentrated on the task at hand.

[kaiju-no-ou]

THE MOUSE AND THE LION.

She wakes up.

She jolts upright, glancing wildly around her. Thunder rumbles in her throat as her eyes narrow. "Hrf."

She climbs to her feet. The buildings look so large. Ordinarily she towers over them, supreme and unchallenged. These are much taller than her, looming and threatening her claim.

"SKREEEEEEEONK!!" She widens her stance aggressively and bellows at the city around her. She attempts to use her skra - but it does not escape. What's more, her roar appears to have hurt her throat. This isn't normal.

She grows more agitated and sprints towards a building, headbutting it as hard as she can. She craters the side of the building, but it draws blood, and the building remains standing. She hears horrified gasps and murmuring from around her. She glances around once more, and surrounding her are the tiny kongs Mothra is so friendly towards. She sneers at them, and one begins to approach, slowly, guardedly.

"Now hold on, ma'am. You can't go around, uh...headbutting buildings. You'll scare folk." The kong's hand reaches towards a small, black thing around his waist. Godzilla's eyes narrow aggressively. Godzilla is familiar with these things, the fake skra the tiny kong are known to use against Godzilla - in vain, but with intent to harm. "SKREEEEEEONK!!" Godzilla roars at the tiny kong in warning.

The kong immediately draws the skra out of his waist. Bang, bang, bang! The kong begins to fire small metal projectiles at Godzilla. Normally, these projectiles are barely an inconvenience, easily ignorable. Godzilla stands unflinchingly as the bullets hit her full force. Though instead of bouncing off of her immaculate hide, they penetrate - not deeply, but enough to hurt her. Godzilla sneers angrily and begins to charge at the tiny kong before hesitating, remembering Mothra's pleas to do no harm to them. Godzilla grabs the kong's fake skra and crushes it in her bare hand before tossing it to the side and grabbing him by the strange cloth it wears. Godzilla takes a deep breath, and roars once more, inches from the kong's face. "SKREEEEEEEONK!!"
