《Godzilla: Legend Begins》Chapter 12
Advertisement
It was a quiet morning on the island, save for the calls of different birds. Jesse was already up and awake, making breakfast that consisted of stew of some fruits that she found. As she cooked the stew over the fire, she listened to the birds' songs that filtered through the air, it soothed her, and she was able to think on the things that was important. Her thoughts were mainly on John, though. She knew what he would do if her theory that she had yet to voice was correct. She hoped that she was wrong.
"What are you making?" questioned Kanto as he walked up behind her.
"Just some stew." she answered.
"It smells good." He took a seat beside her and watched her cook.
"Hey, Kanto?"
"Yeah?"
"What I'm about to tell you stays between us, okay?"
"Yeah, Okay. What is it?"
"I have this theory," she paused for a moment. "The creature we encountered, did it look familiar to you?"
"Uh...well...a little, I guess."
"I think I know why. I believe that this is what Godzilla was before he was mutated from a nuclear bomb."
"How can you be so sure?" Kanto didn't sound convinced, not that she could blame him.
"Like I said, it's just a theory. Who really knows for sure."
"Why don't you want John to know about this theory?"
"I don't trust him." Jesse deadpanned, making Kanto frown. Thankfully, for her, he dropped it and just in time since John was climbing out of the tent.
"What are we doing today?" asked John.
"We continue exploring." answered Jesse, causing John to snort. He didn't say anything and just grabbed a bowl and scooped some finished breakfast into the bowl before starting to eat, followed by Jesse and Kanto.
Once they were done, they packed up and headed out. They traveled through the dense forest for about an hour or two and they heard nothing, no insects or birds what so ever and this made Kanto be on edge.
As time went by, another hour, they didn't encounter much of anything. Jesse glanced around, trying to figure out where to go.
Her head snapped to the right when a loud bellow filled the air that was followed by several others.

"That sounded close." muttered Kanto. Jesse stared at the direction before taking off without another thought, ignoring the two men.
"Jesse, Wait!" Kanto watched as she ran and disappeared within the trees and bushes. He scrambled after her, leaving John behind, standing there.
"Great." huffed John before he followed the two.
Jesse kept running, ducking under low branches and jumping over logs before she quickly stopped when she got to a cliff. She looked and below she saw a clearing which was surrounded by a rather large tree line. What really caught her attention is what was roaming inside of the clearing. Kanto ran out of the trees behind Jesse, panting.
"Jesse, you can't just run off like-" he paused when he saw that she wasn't paying any attention to him. He frowned before following her gaze and what he saw made his jaw drop and his body became frozen.
In the clearing was what looked like to be a group- maybe a herd, he didn't know the proper term for them- of what they had encountered before. One stood about twenty meters tall while the others stood at about seventeen to nineteen meters. The twenty-meter-high one had bright green scales with a patch of red going down its back. The smaller ones were a darker green as well as grey, brown and a dark yellow.
Jesse could see the one that they had seen before chasing around one that was around its size through the clearing and around a single nest that had three eggs inside. One of the adults, a brown scaled one, gave the two a warning growl as the two passed a little bit too close to the nest. The two paused before giving the adult a chirp and resumed running.
"What the hell is this?!" Jesse heard John questioned from behind her, shock was evidence in his raised voice.
"I don't know." Jesse answered honestly. She hadn't expected there to be an actual group of these creatures, she was expecting them to be solitary.
"This is incredible..." Kanto murmured in awe.
The ground suddenly shook beneath them, Making Jesse look around to try and pinpoint just where it was coming from. It couldn't be from an earthquake, it didn't feel like one- especially when there was pauses in between the shaking almost like...footsteps.

She looked to the west and peered, trying to see if there was anything big coming. To her shock, a green, dinosaur-like head appeared over the treetops, its mouth was filled with sharp fangs that were obviously made for tearing and crushing flesh and bone.
"What is that thing?!" John was hysterical by now and for once, Jesse couldn't blame him, especially when this thing was a carnivore.
"It's Gorosaurus, but he's supposed to be off on a different island!" gaped John.
As Gorosaurus walked towards the herd, he cleared the tree line, letting Jesse get a better and clear view of him.
His underbelly was a tanish color and he had very muscular legs. He had small but sharp spikes going from the base of his neck to the tip of his tale and he was about sixty meters tall.
He stopped a few feet away from the herd and Jesse caught site of the two younglings heading over to him, making Jesse hold her breath. She watched carefully as Gorosaurus crouched, getting closer to the two younglings.
The two stopped playing once the spotted Gorosaurus but instead of running away, they scrambled closer the kaiju, chirping and jumping. Gorosaurus bent down lower before giving each of their heads a small lick.
"Can someone explain what the hell's happening right now?" John asked as he watched the scene played out in front of him.
"I don't know." Kanto answered. "I'm pretty sure that he's a carnivore from the looks of his teeth."
"Then why isn't he eating them and being friendly?"
"I'm not sure..." Kanto was obviously getting annoyed. Of course, he wouldn't have all the answers- or any really.
A booming roar echoed across the island, making John and Kanto stiffen. Jesse looked over towards what she thought to be the direction of the beach. She saw Godzilla steadily heading towards them and the herd. The titan was ninety meters tall and he was walking like he had a purpose. His charcoal scales shimmered in the sunlight from the water that was still running down his body.
He stopped a few feet away from the herd and gave a short growl- seemingly as a greeting- and Gorosaurus casted a glance up at him before supplying with his own greeting.
The twenty-meter creature- who seemed to be the alpha now, to Jesse- bravely walked forward to Godzilla before letting out and roar. Godzilla looked down at it before roaring back, a bit more softly than usual. The alpha looked satisfied before making a chirping noise and went to the tree line and started to feed from a tree.
When the two younglings turned their head, they gave excited chirps before scrambling over to Godzilla. He looked down at the two before swinging his massive tail around and laid it beside him, the tip of his tail out more, a few inches longer than his claws. The two was quickly and start biting and chewing on the small spikes and this didn't seem to bother Godzilla, he seemed to encourage it.
"They are the same..." Jesse mumbled as she watched the interaction and how Godzilla was communicating with the adults who walked over to him.
"What do you mean?" questioned Kanto, even though he knew what she might be talking about.
"They are the same species."
"How can you be so sure?" John not believe any of this for a second.
"They look similar- despite Godzilla being mutated."
"Okay, let's say you're right. What now?" Kanto spoke up.
"We leave and report our findings."
"What?! You can't be serious! We need to do something about this!"
"No, John. We are going." Jesse looked at him sternly.
"Do you want to sentence all of us to death by allowing things to live and mutate!"
"They aren't mutating. If they were, we would have seen the signs by now."
"Your idiotic, girl!" Sneered John, his face getting red from anger. "You will doom us all! Our best action would be to-"
"Do as Jesse said." Interrupted Kanto, making John look at him in disbelief and swelling rage.
"You...you can't agree with her!" John sputtered. "You-"
"We came and investigated, we did our job. Now, let's go so we can reach the beach by tomorrow." Kanto turned and began walking with John scurrying after, his glare piercing into Kanto's back.
Jesse glanced back at the herd, Gorosaurus and Godzilla before following the two, praying that everything will go well as they headed back.

Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate.
