《Godzilla: Legend Begins》Chapter 9

Jesse looked over at the island that was off in the distance. She could see the lush green from the plants and trees against the blue of the sky and the sea. Kanto stood beside her, looking at her from the corner of his eye. He had to continuously remind himself that Jesse was still a kid but it was easy to forget though with her attitude and maturity.
"So, this is Birth Island?" asked Jesse.
"Yep." John answered as he walked over to the two. "This would be it. I never forget an island that I've seen and/or visited."
"Have you gone to that island over there?" She pointed over at the other island that was at least a few miles away from Birth Island.
"No."
"Has anyone explored it?"
"No one. Although, fishermen who come close to it has said that they heard sounds coming from the interior. They never stick around long enough to see if whatever make those sounds come to the beach."
"Jesse," Kanto stated. "We better go get what we need packed."
"Right." She was quick to follow Kanto to their cabin and grabbed her black and red duffle bag. She started to pack, grabbing extra clothes, water bottles and small snacks such as beef jerky. She also grabbed her rolled up futon and put it inside the bag before zipping it up and shouldering it. She grabbed another bag, this one was just black, and started to put her equipment inside that includes the giga counter.
"What do you think we will find on the island?" asked Kanto as he packed his own things.
"I'm not sure." she answered truthfully.
"Do you think there could be some eggs?"
"Unless he is asexual, no. It's probably in his territory."

"I still find it weird that he kept circling the area..."
"We will find out once we get there."
"I suppose." With that, they went into a comfortable silence and finishing up their packing. They walked out onto the deck and saw that a boat was already prepped and waiting, hanging over the side of the ship.
"We need to get going now." John began, standing in front of the boat. "We will want to cover as much ground when we land." The two nodded and scrambled in, followed by John. Two of the crew members lowered them into the sea and John unhooked the ropes and started the rotor. The waves bumped into the boat as it cut through the water, heading towards Birth Island. Jesse stared as they began to come closer and closer, feeling that they were wrong now.
"Stop the boat." she ordered. John and Kanto glanced at one another before John stopped the rotor.
"What is it." John asked, a little annoyed.
"This isn't the right island." She told them.
"What? Course it is! This is Bir-"
"Not that!" Jesse interrupted. "I meant that our answers aren't on Birth Island."
"Then were the hell are they?!"
"On that island." she nodded over to the island she had questioned about.
"We have our orders kid! We are going to Birth Island-"
"The answers aren't there!"
"How would you know?"
"Just trust me, I know."
"John," Kanto spoke up. "Despite her age, she knows what she is talking about so listen to her."
"..." John huffed but turned the boat towards the second island and began to drive towards it.
"Thank you." Jesse murmured to Kanto.
"For both of our sakes, I hope you're right." Kanto mumbled back.
"I better be fuckin' paid for this..." they heard John grumble.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
