Daikaiju. The most feared creatures in the world. If they wanted to they could
destroy our entire planet in a week. However they choose not to. Some step out
of their way to protect humanity, others don't care about the damage they cause
but will still fight for their territory. However, others such as the first
Godzilla are pure evil who want to destroy all of humanity their names strike
fear and terror for those who remember what they did. These are the stories of
Daikaiju.
It all started August 6, 1945. When Americans dropped a weapon that should never have been created on Japan they awakened something, a creature that would start a new age. We awakened Godzilla. And when he was awakened he had one goal in his mind: destroy humanity. Whoever was still alive from the bomb was thought to be crazy for what they saw that day, people would say that it was the radiation that killed them. However one man by the name of Dr. Ichiro Serizawa new that what he saw was real. As he held his hand over the hole where his right eye used to be, he looked up to a creature that looked like a demon with pale white eyes and the size of a skyscraper. He thought to himself what he would have to do if this creature would come back again.
September, 1954, Osaka Japan
Everybody on the boat that day just thought
it was going to be a normal fishing trip, however fish had been a little bit
scarce those days and nobody new why. However some people were claiming that
there were going to be lot of fish, heck there were even a little bit of fish
washed up on the shore. However a man in his twenties by the name of Maku Akita
had doubts. He went to examine the washed up fish and saw weird gashes in some
of them. He even thought he saw a dead whale floating off in the distance but
when he looked again the whale was gone, he thought he probably just tired
because he couldn't get his daily coffee that morning. So as they were
miles out into the ocean they decided to play a song on their guitars, harmonicas,
and some little drums when the boat got bumped by something big. Everybody
dropped what they were doing and looked over the side. For about a minute
nothing happened then they got bumped again, this time it didn't stop, and out
of nowhere a huge for fingered, dark grey scaly hand jumped out the ocean and
grabbed the boat. The hand was bigger than the boat and the claws the size of
grown men. The fishermen let out bloodcurdling screams as many of them were
crushed. Maku jumped off the boat and grabbed a piece of wreckage that he could
float on. Then he turned around and watched as a huge creature erupted out of
the water and let out a roar that Maku would never forget as he swam as fast as
he could towards the coast Maku looked back and only saw the creature’s giant
spines swimming into the ocean depths. As he looked around him for survivors
all he saw were many of his crew members corpses laying in the water, he was
the only survivor.
Maku was recovered three hours later shivering and afraid. After being nursed back to health two days later he was interrogated by the military. As they asked him how the ship was destroyed he told them that a huge creature had destroyed it. The military came to the conclusion that he was probably just in shock and came to the conclusion that maybe a fire had reached the engine of the boat and caused an explosion. So they sent a crew to go investigate the wreckage and the same thing had happened to that boat as well. They discovered three survivors but they had all died because of shock and radiation before stating that a huge monster was coming to destroy Japan. By now news had spread across Japan about two boats being destroyed for no apparent reason. Families of the fishermen and the Japanese navy were mourning the deaths of their relatives and begging for answers on how the boats sank. However news had come that a huge monster had left a village on one of the local islands in flames, the natives calling it Gojira or Godzilla. So the Japanese government decided to send some of their military, and two scientists named Kyohei Yamane and Ishiro Serizawa to study the wreckage. His daughter Emiko Yamane had also snuck onto the ship. Then on October 15th they left for the island.
When they arrived on the island they saw
that the villagers were frightened and scared and they their leader claimed
that Gojira was awakened. So the group went to study a huge footprint that had
been left by a four-towed Daikaiju (Giant Monster). They used their equipment to
see if there was radiation in the area, and there was. There was enough
radiation that their water supply was undrinkable, so they had to find another
way to get water. As they followed the trail of footsteps they came across a
hill that they couldn't see over so as they began climbing the hill they heard
loud footsteps. Then the footsteps got louder and louder, then the trees
and the ground started to shake underneath the group they started running back
down to the village when the chest and head of a huge creature appeared over
the hill. Yamane snapped a picture then in Japanese he yelled "Run!"
as the all ran for their lives. The creature let out a roar that shattered some
of the windows on their ship. Then the creature just turned around. The group
asked the villagers if they wanted to come back with them but the villagers
told them that they were going to rebuild by the waterfall on the island. As
the group sailed back to Tokyo they thought that they could easily kill this
creature that if the military was prepared they could destroy it in ten to
twenty minutes. However Dr. Serizawa thought different. He knew that this
creature had survived the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in seconds.
He then realized that he may have to create the weapon that he never wanted to
create.
One week had passed until they had gone to the island and they were prepared. Dr. Yamane and Serizawa had gone to the government to discuss what they had seen and the picture they had taken so the government had set aside about half of their military for Godzilla, waiting for him to attack. News had spread around the world about this creature called Godzilla and people were really amazed by this. Some wanted to keep it alive to study it and others wanted it dead because they feared its powers. So on Tuesday October 26, 1954 the wait ended. That day Godzilla arose out of the ocean about 25 miles from the coast. Immediately the Japanese responded. They evacuated everyone from the area and they sent Choppers, Tanks, Boats, Submarines, Jets, and soldiers to kill the creature. As the military was preparing its weapons the world sat back and waited for what was going to come next. So as Godzilla neared the coast the military aimed their weapons directly at the creature. Then the order was given to fire. Missiles were then thrown at Godzilla nonstop. From underwater, land, and air. Smoke covered the creature and the military thought they had killed him. However when the smoke cleared Godzilla the King of the monsters was just standing there, as if nothing had happened to him. Then the military started firing again, except this time Godzilla wasn't going to take it. He let out a battle cry that could be heard around the world and went berserk. He launched his tail at the choppers hitting many of them and killing most of the people inside. He then grabbed a submarine and threw it at a group of tanks destroying all of them. However he was still being hit by missiles, now he was angry. Then Godzilla just stood still not doing anything, the military thought they had killed him again but then something odd happened. The spines on his tail started glowing a bluish green color, then the glow traveled to his back then neck, now all of his spines her glowing. Then he puffed his chest and shot out concentrated nuclear energy at the military. His "atomic breath" was a very powerful blast of energy that could turn a city into an inferno in seconds. Some of the military tried to escape but he got to them to. No survivors were left that day.
Godzilla entered the city in hopes to find nuclear energy, the reason why he had surfaced in the first place. And he did find some, but not enough to satisfy him. So after turning Osaka a flaming sea of fire he returned to the ocean trying to find the nearest source of nuclear energy, located in Tokyo, Japan. Meanwhile during all of this chaos Dr. Ichiro Serizawa had been secretly working on a weapon. The only other person who knew about it was his fourteen year old son Akira Serizawa. Akira understood that this weapon needed to be made. He knew that this creature Godzilla was more powerful than the bomb that had killed his mother when he was five years old. He knew that this creature had caused so much death in the world that his father had to stop it, even if it meant his life. So Ichiro and Akira said that they would only use it if Godzilla came back again. So a week had passed since his attack on Osaka and nobody had seen a glimpse of Godzilla yet. The Japanese and Americans had come to the agreement to help each other if the creature would come again. and it did the very next day.
On November 3rd, 1954 Godzilla the King of the Monsters, arrived at Tokyo bay. He was far out in the ocean so the military had some time to evacuate and get prepared for the attack. Orders were given to dispatch the rest of the Japanese military at Tokyo bay and America was sending stealth bombers, choppers, and jets, to kill the creature. Japan was also a little bit more prepared too. They had built Huge electric towers to try and at least slow down Godzilla. So late at night Godzilla began his attack. With not everybody evacuated yet the military tried to defend the city as best as they could. As he neared the coast he sensed tons of soldiers, tanks, missile launchers, choppers, jets, and pretty much any vehicle you could think of. Then as Godzilla started stepping on mines they had placed the Japanese military started giving everything to him, and they actually did pretty good. They used a different tactic then last time and only shot at his head and legs. They did daze him and tried to hold him back but it didn't work, at all it just got Godzilla pissed. He then charged unto the land crushing many vehicles underneath his feet and tail. He swiped at the jets and choppers grabbing them and throwing them on the ground destroying many of the other vehicles. The military then began to retreat behind the electric towers to slow down Godzilla. So as they did they saw some of the American army being Godzilla. Then the stealth bombers stared bombarding Godzilla with bombs over and over again. Godzilla realizing that he was in danger unleashed his atomic breath on the stealth bombers destroying every single one of them. As flaming wreckage fell around him he approached the city again. Once he was next to the electrical towers the military activated them. When they expected the electricity to hurt him they realized that they were just giving him more power. You see this Godzilla could also absorb electricity for power. So as they began firing at him again Godzilla unleashed his spiral ray, a red version of his atomic that was way more powerful. With most of the military gone he entered the Japanese capital had once been a place of peace now a place of destruction and death. While civilians were still being evacuated they looked back to see an enormous creature turning their homes into rubble. Godzilla focused on a group of civilians and smashed a building onto many of them some barely escaped with their lives. He then unleashed his regular atomic breath and began turning Tokyo into a living hell.
Many people had been lucky to escape that night but the terror wasn't over yet. During his rampage Godzilla had tipped over Tokyo tower onto a nearby hospital, destroying it and the few people inside. So as the people gathered at a huge medical "tent" they saw the horror of what had happened. Godzilla had left behind lots of radiation that night. That radiation was now getting people sick, and killing others, almost everybody who was in that city last night was given radiation poisoning, only some were lucky enough not to have gotten it. Apart from radiation many people were left with terrible injuries. As Emiko Yamane came in to help treat wounds she saw a child screaming "Mama!" as her mother was being carried away lifeless. Tears filled Emiko's eyes because she couldn't handle what she saw. So she left back to her home in Yokohama.
Dr. Serizawa and his son realized that they had to kill this creature. They had been testing the oxygen destroyer for weeks. The oxygen destroyer was a weapon that looked like a cylinder with two handles on each side. Once pulling the handles the oxygen destroyer would wait ten seconds to release a chemical. This chemical once released would destroy anything that breathed oxygen in that area. and leave nothing behind not even bones were left behind. This was the most dangerous weapon that had been created since the atomic bomb. Dr. Serizawa realized that if this got into the wrong hands that it could mean the end of the world. So with he and his son burning the papers with the formula Dr. Serizawa came to the government and told them that he knew how to kill Godzilla. So the fraction that was left of the Japanese military was sent to find Godzilla and they did. He was found sleeping near Tokyo Bay. So a week later Dr. Serizawa, Dr. Yamane, Emiko, Akira, a news crew, and some government officials went out on a boat to kill Godzilla. Akira and Ichiro Serizawa were going to be the ones going into the water to kill Godzilla. So, as they were both dressed into scuba gear and about to be lowered by ropes Dr. Yamane wished them both luck. As they were lowered into the water they began descending onto the rocks and began to get closer to Godzilla. As they neared the beast they noticed how big he was and how magnificent of a creature he was as well. But he had caused so much death and destruction that he had to kill them. So Dr. Serizawa asked Akira if he was ready and he said yes. So Dr. Serizawa told this to Akira: "I want you to live on. Study these creatures. Start a family. And live a better life then I did." Akira was puzzled why his father was telling him this now, the his father told him "goodbye" and pulled on Akira's rope. Akira screamed for his father but his father didn't listen. His father stood at the bottom of the bay waiting for Akira to surface. He then cut his rope and thought about his life, he was sacrificing himself for mankind, it was the right thing to do. So he pulled each handle and waited for his death, us bubbles started coming from the oxygen destroyer he told himself "I'm going to be with my wife again.". As the people on the ship started pulling Ichiro's rope they saw that Ichiro had cut his rope. Then the water started bubbling underneath them then they heard Godzilla's roar. Then nothing. Godzilla had disappeared from existence. The only thing left were his bones that must have been much stronger than normal bones to withstand the oxygen destroyer. The world stared in sadness and joy, the most dangerous creature in the world was dead, however one man had killed himself for the greater good of mankind. The world hoped that nothing like Godzilla would ever come back again. Much, much worse was in store for them...
