《The Kajiu King》The Kajiu King Part 6

[Stampede Scene]
{Camera switch to a view of a large canyon. Cloud shadows scroll slowly over the landscape.}
SpaceGodzilla: Now you wait here. Your father has a marvelous surprise for you.
{Camera switch to bottom of the gully. SpaceGodzilla and Godzilla are near a rock, underneath a small tree.}
Godzilla: Oooh. What is it?
SpaceGodzilla: If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it?
Godzilla: If you tell me, I'll still act surprised.
SpaceGodzilla: Ho ho ho. You are such a naughty boy.
Godzilla: Come on, Uncle SpaceGodzilla.
SpaceGodzilla: No-no-no-no-no-no-no. This is just for you and your daddy. You know, a sort of... father-son... thing.
{Through Godzilla's expression, we see that he resents SpaceGodzilla's dismissive attitude, but soon shrugs it off.}
SpaceGodzilla: Well! I'd better go get him.
Godzilla: I'll go with you.
SpaceGodzilla: {Loud, snapping tone} No! {regaining composure} Heh heh heh. No. Just stay on this rock. You wouldn't want to end up in another mess like you did with the kajiuraptors...
Godzilla: {Shocked} You know about that?
SpaceGodzilla: Godzilla, everybody knows about that.
Godzilla: {Meek and embarrassed} Really?
SpaceGodzilla: Oh, yes. Lucky Daddy was there to save you, eh? {clearly enjoying himself; he puts a hand on Godzilla's shoulder} Oh... and just between us, you might want to work on that little roar of yours. Hmm?
{SpaceGodzilla starts to pull away}
Godzilla: Oh... Okay...
{SpaceGodzilla pats Godzilla roughly on the head, then moves off.}
Godzilla: Hey, Uncle SpaceGodzilla, will I like the surprise?
SpaceGodzilla: {Turning back over his shoulder} Godzilla, it's to DIE for.
{The camera slowly pans up the side of the gorge away from SpaceGodzilla and Godzilla. After a distance of rock, we reach the edge and view on the plain a very large herd of Tauros; the size of the herd comes across with a striking computer-generated parallax pan. The camera then focuses in on the kajiuraptors (Sam, Jay, and Ed), who are waiting off of the edge of the herd, hidden under a rock arch.}
Jay: {Stomach growls}
Sam: Shut up.
Jay: I can't help it. I'm so hungry... {jumping up} I gotta have a Tauros!
Sam: Stay put.
Jay: Well... Can't I just pick off one of the little sick ones?
Sam: No! We wait for the signal from SpaceGodzilla.
{Camera switch to SpaceGodzilla mounting a rock in view of the kajiuraptors}
Sam: There he is... {making an evil, almost humorous face} let's go.
{Camera switch back to Godzilla}
Godzilla: Little roar. Puh!
{A lizard walks past Godzilla. He growls at it.}
Godzilla: Rarrr!
{The lizard has no reaction to this first attempt. Godzilla then jumps down and tries again.}
Godzilla: Rrrraowr-h!
{For the third attempt, Godzilla moves closer again and inhales deeply.}
Godzilla: RAOWR!
{The lizard skitters off screen. Godzilla's roar echoes around the canyon. Shot of Godzilla lifting his ears to relish the echo. The echo is soon eclipsed, however, by a low rumble. Godzilla looks down and sees pebbles jumping. Cue the very sinister "To Die For" music. We see the herd coming over the lip of the canyon. Dramatic multi-layer camera pull up to Godzilla's terrified face. Godzilla takes off in front of the herd.}

{Cut to the rim of the gorge, where the Kajiuraptors are seen chasing the Tauros herd, nipping at their heels to drive them over the edge. Camera switch to Dagon and Condor a short distance from the canyon.}
Condor: Oh look, sire; the herd is on the move.
Dagon: Odd...
{SpaceGodzilla runs up, out of breath}
SpaceGodzilla: Dagon. Quick. Stampede. In the gorge. Godzilla's down there!
Dagon: Godzilla?
{Camera switch to Godzilla. He is running and climbs up a dead tree. Condor flies ahead of Dagon and SpaceGodzilla, down into the canyon. He spots Godzilla.}
Godzilla: {Clinging precariously to a tree} Condor! Help me!!
Condor: Your father is on the way! Hold on!
Godzilla: {Losing grip} Hurry!
{Dagon and SpaceGodzilla are on the lower ledges of the gorge. Condor flies back to Dagon and points out where Godzilla is.}
Condor: There! There! On that tree!
Dagon: Hold on, Godzilla!
{In the gully, a Tauros rams the tree Godzilla's on, nearly breaking it.}
Godzilla: Ahhhh!
{Dagon runs out into the herd, joining the stampede.}
Condor: Oh SpaceGodzilla, this is awful. What will we do? What will we do? Hah ... I'll go back for help, that's what I'll do, I'll go back for he--oomph!
{SpaceGodzilla backhands Condor into a rock wall, knocking him out. SpaceGodzilla then follows Dagon's progress from the lip of the gorge, his shadow cast mysteriously from the bottom of the gully {!}. Dagon runs with the herd till slightly past the tree. He whips around the front of some Tauros and runs into the herd towards Godzilla's tree. He gets rammed head-first once, throwing him to the ground. A Tauros hits Godzilla's tree, throwing Godzilla into the air. Dagon gets up in time to catch Godzilla in the air with his arms He gets hit again and accidentally throws Godzilla. Godzilla dodges a few oncoming Tauros. Dagon runs by with the herd and grabs Godzilla. He jumps up to a near rock ledge and sets Godzilla down, but is immediately struck by a Tauros and carried off into the stampede.}
Godzilla: DAD!
{Godzilla watches in horror as he cannot find his father in the swirling mass of Tauros below him. At the last second, Dagon leaps out of the herd and starts to climb with great difficulty up the sheer rock slope. Dagon turns and starts to climb up to the top of the gorge. Out of Godzilla's sight, Dagon reaches a point right below a ledge where he can't climb due to the steepness. His claws are scraping and his back feet have no traction. Above him on the ledge is SpaceGodzilla.}
Dagon: SpaceGodzilla! Broth-- { slips, barely hangs on} Brother! Help me!
{SpaceGodzilla looks disdainfully down, and then suddenly latches onto Dagon's hands with claws extended. Godzilla roars, primarily from the sudden pain of SpaceGodzilla's claws, but no doubt also due to the sudden flash of realization. His expression slowly changes to one of horror as he recognizes SpaceGodzilla's intent.}

SpaceGodzilla: { Slowly and evilly} Long live the king.
{SpaceGodzilla throws his brother backwards. Dagon free-falls, back first. The camera follows Dagon down from under him, then from above him, showing the stampede raging below.}
Dagon: Aaaaaaahh!
{Camera suddenly focuses in on Godzilla, who is watching his father hit the ground. No sound effects of the hit. No view of it either. Dagon and Godzilla's screams mingle.}
Godzilla: Nooooooo!
{The herd passes. Everything is clouded by dust. Godzilla bounds to the canyon floor. Dagon is nowhere to be seen.}
Godzilla: {Cough} Dad!!
{We hear a sound}
Godzilla: {Quietly} Dad?
{We see a stray Tauros run past, the source of the sound. The Tauros curves around a log further down the gully. Under the log is Dagon, laying on his side. He is not moving or breathing. Godzilla approaches the body. Sad musical theme. Again we notice how small Godzilla really is.}
Godzilla: {Hopefully} Dad? ...Dad, come on. {He lifts up against Dagon's head. The head merely rolls back in place after the lift} You gotta get up. {He places both hands on his father's cheek and pushes} Dad. We gotta go home. {He tugs at Dagon's arm. Again the head limply moves back in place. Godzilla runs off a bit, obviously very scared.} HEEEEELP! Somebody! {His voice reverberates hollowly off the sides of the gorge.} Anybody... help.
{He cries. Godzilla turns back to the body. He nuzzles up under the limp arm so that his father is embracing him. Pause for effect.}
{The "Mufasa" theme gives way to a series of ominous chords as the image of SpaceGodzilla advancing appears through the dust.}
SpaceGodzilla: Godzilla.....What have you done?
Godzilla: {Jumps back, crying} There were Tauros and he tried to save me... it was an accident, I... I didn't mean for it to happen.
SpaceGodzilla: {Embracing Godzilla, yet still distant} Of course, of course you didn't. No one... ever means {pulls Godzilla closer; Godzilla hides his face on SpaceGodzilla's arm} for these things to happen. ...But the king IS dead. {looking with mock regret at Godzilla) And if it weren't for you, he'd still be alive. {Godzilla is crushed, believing his guilt. Another thought "occurs" to SpaceGodzilla.} Oh! What will your mother think?
Godzilla: {Sniffing} What am I gonna do?
SpaceGodzilla: Run away, Godzilla. Run... Run away and never return.
{Godzilla runs off blindly, obviously broken. Slight pause, for the audience to catch its emotional breath. Music ends. The three kajiuraptors appear behind SpaceGodzilla.}
SpaceGodzilla: Kill him.
{The kajiuraptors take off after him; SpaceGodzilla stands motionless. Godzilla is chased up the entire length of the gully. He reaches the lip only to see a sheer drop on the other side. Having no choice he jumps and tumbles down into a patch of briars below. The kajiuraptors pursue the entire way. When they are running down towards the briars, Jay sees them and recoils.}
Jay: Whoa!!
{After skidding extensively, Jay manages to stop just above the brambles. He heaves a sigh of relief. Then Sam and Ed run into him, propelling him into the bushes.}
Jay: Yeow! {Jumping back out of the bushes}
{Sam and Ed are laughing}
{Jay climbs back up covered in thorns as he limps to lay down Ed was still laughing}
Sam: {Seeing Godzilla emerge from the far side of the briars into the desert} Hey-- There he goes! There he goes!
Jay: {Removing thorns} So go get him.
Sam: There ain't no way I'm going in there. What, you want me to come out there looking like you? Cactus Butt?
Jay: {Spitting out thorns into Ed's laughing face; Ed lets out a small yelp of pain} We gotta finish the job.
Sam: Well, he's as good as dead out there anyway. And IF he comes back, we'll kill 'im.
Jay: {Shouting} Yeah! you hear that? If you ever come back, we'll kill ya!!!
{"Kill ya" echoes off as we see Godzilla still running into the desert. The Kajiuraptors make their way off the cliffs back to the Pride Lands.}
[Address and Depaint Scene]
{Camera change to SpaceGodzilla addressing the human hunters and Kaiju hunters by the moon on Pride Mountain.}
SpaceGodzilla: Dagon's death was a terrible tragedy; but to lose Godzilla, who had barely begun to live...
{Camera pans around the Kajiu and human hunters and Pokemon. Some of them, with Condor, comforting Miki, who bows her head in extreme pain. Serena is hugging her mother crying.}
SpaceGodzilla: ...For me it is a deep personal loss. So it is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne. Yet, out of the ashes of this tragedy, we shall rise to greet the dawning of a new era... {The kajiuraptors start emerging, casting eerie green shadows and laughing hollowly} ...in which Kajiu, human, Pokemon, and kajiuraptor come together, in a great and glorious future! {SpaceGodzilla ascends Pride Mountain as the kajiuraptors appear in full force.}
{The camera pans to Caesar who is shaking his head in the distance. The scene changes with Caesar in the same position. He is in his tree house. After wiping away a tear, he reaches up and rubs his hand across the child painting, smearing it. The camera changes. The painting, smeared, is overlaid on Godzilla laying out in the hot desert sun.}

Poems
While in English exists only one word for it, the ancient Greeks with their aim for self-understanding and knowledge found eight different varieties of love that we might all experience at some point:1. Eros (Erotic love) - represents the idea of sexual passion and desire;2. Philia (Affectionate love) - friendship, love between equals;3. Storge (Familial love) - love between close family members;4. Ludus (Playful love) - the early stages of falling in love;5. Mania (Obsessive love) - an imbalance between eros and ludus;6. Pragma (Enduring love) - love that has matured and developed over time;7. Philautia (Self love) - self-love in its healthiest form;8. Agape (Selfless love) - the highest and most radical type of love.(Unless stated otherwise, everything except the art belongs to me.)
