[Behemoth Graveyard - Kajiuraptor Scene]

{Camera change to Godzilla and Serena making their get away from Condor. They are laughing.}

Godzilla: All right, it worked!

Serena: We lost 'im.

Godzilla: {Arrogantly} I... am a genius.

Serena: Hey, Genius, it was my idea.

Godzilla: Yeah, but I pulled it off.

Serena: With me!

Godzilla: Oh yeah? ...Rrarr!

{Godzilla jumps at Serena; they tussle quickly. Serena ends on top and pins Godzilla with her hands, producing a resounding thump.}

Serena: Ha. Pinned ya. {Giggles}

Godzilla: {Annoyed} Hey, lemme up.

{Serena turns away smiling. Godzilla looks at her and jumps at her again. They tussle, rolling down a short hill. She pins him again in the same position with another thump.}

Serena: Pinned ya again.

{A geyser makes a loud noise nearby, ejecting steam. The camera pulls back to a view of the surroundings that the kids have just noticed. Mostly in grays, we see a dark craggy vale filled with skeletons of animals. Eerie music.}

Godzilla: This is it. We made it.

{They look over the edge of the ledge they are on. A large Behemoth skull is nearby. The camera follows to survey the entire bleak view.}

Godzilla and Serena: Whoa!

Serena: It's really creepy.

Godzilla: Yeah... Isn't it great?

Serena: {Relishing her naughtiness} We could get in big trouble.

Godzilla: {Enjoying it also} I know, huh.

Serena: {Looking at the skull} I wonder if its brains are still in there.

Godzilla: {Walking towards the skull} There's only one way to know. Come on. Let's go check it out.

{Godzilla walks towards the mouth of the skull. Condor flaps suddenly up in front of them, emitting a sharp squawk of "Wrong!" and giving the audience a start.}

Condor: The only checking out you will do will be to check out of here.

Godzilla: Aw, man.

Condor: We're way beyond the boundary of the Pride Lands.

Godzilla: Huh. Look. Red Feathers is scared. Heh.

Condor: {Poking Godzilla in the nose} That's Mr. Red Feathers to you, scaly. And right now we are all in very real danger.

Serena: Danger?! {Realized}

{Godzilla has moved nearer to the entrance of the skull}

Godzilla: Danger? Hah! I walk on the wild side. I laugh in the face of danger. Ha ha ha ha!

{Following Godzilla's confident laughter we hear more laughing from inside the skull. Godzilla runs back and hides behind Serena and Condor. Three Kajiuraptors emerge from the skull's eyes and mouth.}

Sam: Well, well, well, Jay. What have we got here?

Jay: Hmm. I don't know, Sam. Uh... what do you think, Ed?

Ed: {Crazy laughter}

{They circle around the kids and Condor.}

Jay: Yeah, just what I was thinking. A trio of trespassers!

Condor: And quite by accident, let me assure you. A simple navigational error. Eh heh heh...

Sam: Whoa, whoa, wait wait wait... I know you. {peering close into the camera} You're Dagon's little stooge.

Condor: I, madam, am the king's majordomo.

Jay: {Looking at Godzilla} And that would make you...?

Godzilla: The future king. {stays close to Serena}

Sam: Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom?

Godzilla: Puh. You can't do anything me.

Condor: Uhh... technically, they can. We are on their land.

Godzilla: But Condor, you told me they're nothing but slobbering mangy stupid poachers.

Condor: {Aside, surreptitiously, to Godzilla} Ix-nay on the oopid-stay...

Jay: Who you callin' "oopid-stay?!?"

Condor: {Harried} My, my, my. Look at the sun. {starts to try to hasten the kids away} It's time to go!

Sam: What's the hurry? We'd looove you to stick around for dinner.

Condor: Now now Sam, don't do anything crazy because if you do you'll start a war with Dagon!

Sam: Kajiu hunters and Kajiuraptors have been in war since the dawn of time. Besides a raptor's belly is never full.

Jay: Yeaaaah! We could have whatever's... "lion" around! {In the background} Get it? Lion around! {laughs}

Sam: Oh wait, wait, wait. I got one, I got one. Make mine a "cub" sandwich. Whatcha think?

{Peals of uncontrollable laughter. Ed jumps up and starts gesticulating and jabbering.}

Sam: What? Ed? What is it?

Jay: {Looking where Ed is pointing} Hey, did we order this dinner to go?

Sam: No. Why?

Jay: 'Cause there it goes!

{Camera view to the kids running off; they stop after a bit. Quick camera jump showing Condor being caught in mid-flight.}

Serena: Did we lose 'em?

Godzilla: I think so. Where's Condor?

{Camera switch. The Kajiuraptors have Condor near a steam vent. Jay is holding the bird.}

Jay: The little majordomo bird hippity-hopped all the way to the birdie-boiler. {He walks Condor to the vent and stuffs him into it, plugging it up.}

Condor: Oh no. Not the birdie-boiler. {It shoots him off in a puff of steam}

{The Kajiuraptors start laughing hysterically}

Godzilla: {Now near the Kajiuraptors} Hey! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?

Sam: Like... you?

Godzilla: Oops.

{The Kajiuraptors start chasing the kids. They dart around behind them and poke their heads through an active methane vent.}

Sam, Jay, Ed: BOO! {laughter}

{The Kajiuraptors chase the kids up and over the skull and the kids slip away by sliding down the spine. They shoot off the end of the spine and land on a hillside of bones.}

Serena: Godzilla!

{Godzilla turns around and is horrified to see Serena slipping back down the pile.}

Serena: Aaaaiee!

{Godzilla runs bravely comes back and punches Sam across the cheek, drawing a bruise and distracting her while Serena escapes. Sam becomes enraged; the Kajiuraptors pursue the kids quickly and corner them in a cave.}

Jay: {Entering the cave, taunting} Here, kin, kin, kin.

Godzilla: {Looks at Serena for a minute} Don't worry, I'll protect you Serena. {Looks at the Kajiuraptors then tries to roar. He produces a nice medium yowl.}

Sam: Oo-hoo... that was it? Hah. Do it again... come on.

{Godzilla opens his mouth to roar again, but a full- grown Gojira roar.}

Sam, Jay, Ed: Huh?!

{Dagon comes out of nowhere and attacks the kajiurators furiously}

{Dagon charges the Kajiuraptors from camera left and knocks them about until they are cringing under him.}

Sam: Oh, please, please. Uncle. Uncle.

Jay: Ow. Ow. Ow.

Dagon: {Half roar} Silence!

Jay: Oh, we're gonna shut up right now.

Sam: Calm down. We're really sorry.

Dagon: If you ever come near my son again...

Sam: Oh this is... this is your son?!?

Jay: Oh, your son?

Sam: Did you know that?

Jay: No... me? I-I-I didn't know it. No. Did you?

Sam: No! Of course not.

Jay: No.

Sam and Jay: Ed?

Ed: {Stupidly nods yes}

{Dagon roars}

Jay: Toodles!

{With a gunshot sound they disappear. Condor lights in front of Dagon, giving him a "that'll show 'em" nod... but then withers under Dagon's angry glare.}

Godzilla: {Approaching his father} Dad, I...

Dagon: You deliberately disobeyed me.

Godzilla: Dad, I'm... I'm sorry.

Dagon: {Stern} Let's go home.

{They all start walking out of the Burial Grounds, the kids bent down in shame.}

Serena: {Whispers to Godzilla} Thank you.

{The camera steadily pans up one of the walls of the cave. It stops on a horrifying image of SpaceGodzilla, standing on a ledge where he had been watching the kids' near-demise.}

-----------------------------------------

[Disciplinary - Stars Scene]

{Camera switch to out on the savannah. The kids are still walking in a shamed manner behind Dagon. Condor is flying between.}

Dagon: {Still stern} Condor.

Condor: {Flying forward and lighting in front of Dagon, his trepidation showing} Yes, sire?

Dagon: {Stern} Take Serena home. I've got to teach my son a lesson.

{The camera views the kids. Godzilla crouches lower in the grass as if to hide. Condor flies back to the kids.}

Condor: Come, Serena. Godzilla... {puts his wings on Godzilla's shoulders, gives a heavy sigh, and then a reassuring pat} Good luck.

Serena: {Looks at Godzilla then she give him a light kiss on his cheek} For luck. {she then catches up to Condor}

{Condor and Serena leave. The camera view is of Godzilla in the foreground with Dagon facing away from the camera in the background.}

Dagon: {Calling, still very stern, not looking at Godzilla} Godzilla! {The word reverberates in the night air.}

{Godzilla slowly turns and walks towards his father. The camera follows him forward. Ominous yet sad music. Godzilla steps into a depression. Looking down he sees that his foot fits inside just the footprint of his father's foot. A very tense moment for Godzilla. It comes across to the audience that his father could easily do much, much more than discipline Godzilla. [It also comes across that Godzilla has some rather big shoes to fill, so to speak, and is only now realizing his true position.] Godzilla is harshly reminded of how small and young he is compared to his father. He looks up and, quite courageously, continues to come forward.}

{Dagon thinks silently for a few moments, not looking at his son. Then, finally, he turns to him.}

Dagon: Godzilla, I'm very disappointed in you.

Godzilla: {Very quietly and sadly} I know.

Dagon: {Continuing} You could have been killed. You deliberately disobeyed me. And what's worse, you put Serena in danger!

Godzilla: {Bordering on crying, voice cracks} I was just trying to be brave like you.

Dagon: I'm only brave when I have to be if there's no other choice. Godzilla... being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble.

Godzilla: But you're not scared of anything.

Dagon: I was today.

Godzilla: {Disbelieving} You were?

Dagon: Yes... {bends down close to Godzilla} I thought I might lose you.

Godzilla: Oh. {Lightening slightly} I guess even kings get scared, huh?

Dagon: Mm-hmm.

Godzilla: {Whispering conspiratorially} But you know what?

Dagon: {Whispering back} What?

Godzilla: I think those Kajiuraptors were even scareder.

Dagon: {Gentle laugh} 'Cause nobody messes with your dad. Come here, you.

{Dagon has bent down. He picks Godzilla up and starts giving him a noogie.}

Godzilla: Oh no, no... Aaagh! Errrggh!

{Music rises as Godzilla and Dagon tussle playfully for a brief while.}

Godzilla: Oh, come here... {as Dagon runs away} Hah! Gotcha!

{They end up with Dagon laid down and Godzilla on his back}

Godzilla: Dad?

Dagon: Hmm?

Godzilla: We're pals, right?

Dagon: {Gentle laugh} Right.

Godzilla: And we'll always be together, right?

Dagon: {Sitting up, Godzilla is now next to him} Godzilla... Let me tell you something that my father told me... Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.

Godzilla: {Awed} Really?

Dagon: Yes... So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you ... And so will I.
