//------------------------------// // A new Threat // Story: Legend of the Sirens: A Fathers Return // by zalla661 //------------------------------// Adagio drove fast. Rainbow liked that. Fast was the way of her life. Fast was the way to go with everything she once thought. Now, she wasn't so sure. She was going fast yeah, but she really wanted to see some monster butt kicking action. That was something not going fast to see in her mind. Adagio however seemed more keen on getting away as fast as possible and Rainbow was determined to complain about it despite the immediate danger. "Come on Adagio! it's a monster fight! A real monster fight and we're running away!" Rainbow gestured to the two kaiju fighting behind them as the Angurius flew over the next hill after Adagio's father kicked him away. The armadillo-like kaiju hit the ground hard, shaking the earth for miles. The force of the impact was enough that it threw Adagio's steering off and sent her off road onto the sandy dunes and then the grassy fields, which were now more equivalent to marshlands. The siren growled at the kaiju that wasn't her father cursing it for interrupting her plans. "Rainbow now's not the best time!" she said to her rainbow haired girlfriend. Rainbow scoffed. "But we're missing the action!" "That's the point." Adagio replied dryly. She looked at the rear view mirror to see the two monsters rushing around each other. The Angurius circled Adagio's father biting at him on the arm. With a pained growl the larger kaiju kicked Angurius in the chest making him give a muffled growl. Rainbow looked back at the two monsters as the distance became greater between them. "So, that's him huh?" "Yeah." Rainbow sat silently tapping her fingers. "So, what's his name?" "His name?" "Yeah," Rainbow replied shrugging. "All the times you spoke of him you never said his name. What is it?" "He doesn't have a name." Adagio said not looking away from the road. "We always just called him father. But-" She paused and Rainbow looked at her with great interest. "The humans who discovered him, according to the files I gathered, they named him many things over the last millennial. Gogo, Nihamaru, some even called him the Quetzalcoatl. Most in the scientific community call him, Godzilla, or Gojira." "Wow, so he's like you said, really old." Yes he is." Once more Rainbow looked back to see Godzilla being pinned down by Angurius. The smaller kaiju bashed its spiky tail down on him and Rainbow whistled as she felt the earth shake the truck. "Dang your father's getting his butt kicked. Man he sucks!" Rainbow said with no tact as per usual. This angered the siren greatly. "NO HE DOES NOT SUCK!" Rainbow looked at Adagio with a shocked expression from her sudden and very loud outburst. Just then the truck went dead staling on the side of the road. Adagio fumed at the unfortunate turn of events by smashing her hands into the wheel. "Adagio watch the road!" "Don't talk about my father like that!" she yelled slapping Rainbow across the face. The young woman growled clenching her fist and punched Adagio in the cheek. Pulling over off the road Adagio gave her girlfriend a death glare that promised untold amounts of pain and suffering would befall her. Clenching her own fist she grabbed hold of Rainbows lab coat and pulled her close. "I'm so lucky we aren't moving to crash, Dash." she said in a cold tone. Rainbow back away as far as she could, a worried look on her face. 'Wh-why's that, Dagi?" She asked with a silly grin. "Because beautiful... I...Am GOING TO KILL YOU!" Adagio screamed lunging at her. Rainbow ducked just enough for Adagio to go head first into the side of the truck with a thud. Rainbow scrambled to the other side reaching for the door knob. Right as it turned she felt her ankle being grabbed. She yelped trying to escape but the iron grip held her back. "Get your butt back here so I can kick it!" "Hey come on Dagi! Let me go!" Rainbow cried out. "Not until I kick your sorry-" THOOM! The truck shook as Angurius landed nearby, missing the truck by only a few feet. The beasts massive clawed leg smashed into the earth and grass several feet leaving an impressive print. Adagios stopped her scuffle with Rainbow as her father came charging on all fours tackling Angurius to the ground and rolling over him. Their tails rolled over the landscape tearing away the grass lands like they were tissue paper. The fighting shook the truck and one violent swing of their tails sent the truck spinning over itself several times. Rainbow and Adagio screamed as the tumbled and turned in the steel trap until it finally came to a halt upright by sheer luck. Adagio and Rainbow groaned as the truck was once more shoved to the side by the two trashing monsters. The vehicle was pushed to the side harmlessly, although Adagio groaned at having her baby being roughhoused. Angurius roared with a high pitched screech whipping his tail around striking the other monster in the face. Angurius then spun around with its tail placing its head beneath Adagio's father's belly. Then with a powerful upper cut motion, Angurius drove his spiked nose up into his underbelly digging deep beneath his scales. He roared out in pain as he spun over and Angurius gave a victorious roar. While Adagio and Rainbow watched from the side lines the truck suddenly sprung back to life. The metal machines engine roared as loud as any of the kaiju in combat and Adagio didn't miss a beat gunning the throttle and drove off back to the road. It wasn't long after that a loud clicking noise made her and the kaiju stop their fight. Angurius growled as Godzilla eyed the ground. His beady eyes narrowed dangerously as the ground began to bulged similarly as when Angurius appeared. The sounds of the grass and earth ripping itself rang loudly as the larger kaiju backed away cautiously. From the depths of the soil came a sharp beaked insectoid worm that lunged at Godzilla letting out a screech. With a quick whip of his tail the insectoid worm flew back to the ground with a thud, letting out a pained screech. It was a worm like shape with six tiny legs and a massive pale body with wart like spots all over it's body in small clusters of deep red. Angurius didn't treat the creature as a threat. Instead he proudly marched forward to attack spinning into a ball and ricocheted off the ground and into the air. Seconds later he came back down to earth smashing into the insectoid burying it in the ground. Godzilla watched the ground. carefully he lowered his posture getting on all fours and circled the ground giving himself a wide berth from Angurius. Adagio and Rainbow watched him as he circled around sniffing the earth like a dog tracking the scent of another animal. Angurius watched him circle not paying attention to the earth below him as it caved in, engulfing him into the earth. He let out a loud roar as his left leg snapped off and was dragged beneath the earth. Godzilla continued to look at the ground. He didn't move or blink once. His heavy face and body slumped over slightly as he rested his front arms down and walked on all fours again, circling the hole. He then looked up suddenly as a missile flew across the sky and straight into the side of his head. Out at sea the Saratoga was now off the shore as F-18 jets flew across the sky firing a volley of missiles at him. The dark scaled monster roared in annoyance but never took his eyes off the ground. The fighters zoomed overhead and Rainbow watched in awe as they circled around for another pass on Godzilla. This time however the missiles never fired. Instead the planes suddenly began to free fall as the pilots each ejected from their plummeting crafts. Most made it out in time but two of the pilots never ejected as their planes collided with the ground, turning into smoldering balls of fire. A powerful quake shook the ground forcing Adagio and Rainbow to grip the sides of Tom to prevent themselves from being throw around in the massive truck. The unknown insect worm creature flung out along the sandy beach and flew head first into the water. Godzilla lunged forward clumsily charging to the water like it was his one life line in the whole world. As his legs breached the water he leaned forward and launched himself like a torpedo into the water, diving beneath the shallows. His scalds barely missed the Saratoga as he disappeared beneath only for his scalds to reappear on the surface opposite of the ship. The two cared onlookers watched as he disappeared. Rainbow sighed in relief looking down at her seat and spreading her legs apart, to suddenly close them. "Umm, Dagi?" "What now?" Adagio asked rubbing her hand down her face. "Can we go back home so I can shower and change my pants?" Rainbow asked shyly. The human siren nodded affirmatively. "Sure thing. I need to get back before-" She paused looking down at Rainbow who was trying her to cover herself with the lab coat she wore. A strange smell ran though her nose and it took only a moment for her to realize what it was. "Damn it Rainbow! You did not!" Adagio screamed. "Hey, what 's your deal?" Rainbow asked covering herself. "That smell! Now I know you didn't wet yourself in my truck!" She said accusingly. "Look I'm sorry, OK?!" Rainbow yelled back. "Look I'll clean it, I promise! I know it's not cool to do that in another persons car." Adagio thought about it. She nodded silently. "Alright Rainbow. Just please try not to do it again." Rainbow Dash agreed to do her best as they drove silently back to town.
