《Godzilla: Legend Begins》Chapter 15

Jesse checked and rechecked through her pack, making sure she had everything before she zipped it up and shouldered it. She walked out the room and headed down to the lobby. She gave the lady at the desk her key before heading outside. To her surprise, she saw Kanto leaning back against a black car with tinted windows. He was wearing a plain green t-shirt and a pair of jeans.
"What are you doing here, Kanto?" Jesse questioned, her heart pounding within her chest. She did not try to sneak out only to get caught without making it past the hotel parking lot.
"I should be the one asking you that question." He crossed his arms.
"I have to go back to America. Sitting here on my ass won't help anyone."
"You going to America will help how?"
"I have a friend there. We did a project together two years ago before we had to shut it down because of insignificant funding. Don't try to stop me."
"I could always arrest you and bring you in... but I won't." He sidestepped and opened the passenger side door. "I'll be coming with you."
Jesse stared at him in wonder, not expecting him to be so easy going about it. She fully expected him to arrest her, not to come with her. "But K-force needs you...and wouldn't you lose your job?"
He simply shrugged. "I'd rather go and use any resource we have at our disposal. Besides, I rather follow you. You do have the king of all monsters in your head, after all. Let's go."
Jesse slowly slipped into the seat. "You actually believe me on that?"
"Yeah." Kanto shut her door before walking around and slipping into the driver's seat. "Out of most civilians we brought in before, you're one of the only ones who are the most competent. So, I'll take your word for it."
He started the car and put it into gear before slowly easing his way to out of the parking lot and started towards Tokyo. Jesse stared out the window, watching as the scenery passed by before fishing out her phone from her pocket and started to dial.
"Who are you calling?" asked Kanto.
"The friend I told you about." she listened as the ringing began.
"What ya want?" a groggy voice answered after the fifth ring.
"The greatest greeting you've ever came up with, Benny." teased Jesse.
"Wha- Jesse?!" shock and happiness was evidence in his voice, replacing the grogginess. "I haven't heard from you in a year!"
"Yeah, sorry about that." she placed a hand on the receiver, pulling it away and looked at Kanto and lowered her voice to a whisper. "Did the director go on and made a statement yet?"
"No." he whispered back. "But there have been leaks from the inside that was put online apparently."

She nodded and put her phone back to her ear, taking her hand away. "Do you know what's happening in Japan?"
"Yeah. You wouldn't believe what was put on the WikiLeaks. Apparently, a Godzilla had appeared on a island in the Pacific. There's a second monster that's codenamed Titan-1. I'm not sure how true that is though."
"It's true, I was on that Island. Godzilla did appear along with Titan-1."
"You were? Can you explain to me what the hell's going on, then?"
"Later, I promise. Are you still living in Pittsburg?"
"Yeah, though I moved recently, do you have a paper and pen with you?"
"Yeah, hold on." she grabbed her notebook and her pen from her pack before ripping a piece of a paper and gave him the go ahead and jotted down what he said. She put the book and the pen back in when she was done. "I'm heading Tokyo now to get on a flight and I'll be there in a few hours. You brought the Project MB Prototype C with you, right?"
"Of course, I did. But why-"
"Sorry Ben, I promise to explain later. I'll see you soon."
"Later." Benny sighed before Jesse hung up. She pocketed her phone before she finally buckled herself up.
"So, What's this Project MB?" questioned Kanto. "Is it the one you worked on two years ago?"
"Yes. It's really called the Mazer Blaster. It's a weapon that we hoped the military would use if another kaiju appeared. As I said before, we couldn't go beyond the Prototype C. As it is now, it will only scare or anger the kaiju if its shot on non-vital spots on the body. It probably can't penetrate the hide or skin."
"I see." Kanto hummed before turning his full attention back on the road.
Jesse suddenly felt something- someone- brush against her mind, making her blink. She was hesitant but did brush back in response. She could feel that Godzilla was pleased with that before he gave a parted brush before retreating. Jesse couldn't help but smile slightly before she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Ogata stood in the control room, watching as his men came to and fro into the room and the computers and monitors. He glanced at the time before he headed to the doors and stepped out. One of the newest recruits were standing there, patiently waiting for him.
"Sir." he bowed. "We might have a problem. General Naraka has yet to come in at all this morning."
"I'm sure he'll be here, just give him a few more minutes."
"That isn't all, sir. I called the hotel Miss Hudson was staying it as you ordered, and she's gone. She was seen getting into a black car with a man that fit the general's description."
Ogata frowned, wondering just what those two were up to.

"Should we send for them, sir?"
"No." Ogata shook his head. "Let them go for now."
"But...but sir-"
"That's an order. Let them go."
"...Yes sir."
Ogata watched as the recruit bowed before walking away and Ogata was left to his own thoughts.
"Just what are you two up to?" he asked quietly to himself. It was not like Kanto, not at all. Where could they possibly be going to make Kanto leave, just like that? He just hope that whatever the reason, it will be worth it.
Dr. Yusaka watched as his creations paced around its cave on the large monitor, snarling and growling in anger. He understood why- a little ant had cost it to lose its kill. He had seen everything that happened on that island thanks to a drone. He had seen that ant; that girl who went up against his creation. He wondered if she was brave or just stupid. Either way, she did get his creation riled up which was unlike it. Something about her was intriguing though. To him, it looked like that Godzilla had protected the girl when his beloved Titanosaurus was going to get rid of her, which was unexpected.
He had read up on the first Godzilla, about how he was merciless and cold. He had expected this with the current Godzilla. On top of that, this one seemed to have a soft spot for the girl. He slowly started to smirk when he realized that he could use this to his advantage and finally let Titanosaurus be able to make his kill.
He swiped his laptop from his briefcase and opened it, the screen brightened instantly. He typed in his password and he was on, clicking on a browser and, to his surprise, it didn't take him long to find a site that had a listing of kaiju, starting from the first Godzilla to the kaiju that had attacked in New York, which she had called Clover. He clicked the about link and in the page was a picture of the girl with her name and a little about her and the site.
"Jesse Hudson..." he hummed before getting to work on locating her.
Kanto parked in the airport parking lot and turned off the engine before turning his attention towards the sleeping Jesse. He paused for a moment before he reached over and shook her shoulder. "It's time to wake up, Jesse."
Jesse groaned slightly, her hand coming up to rub her eye. She yawned and stretched as Kanto opened his door and slipped out with Jesse also climbing out of her own side. She watched as Kanto grabbed a few things from the back of the car and walked to the front of the car. This is when she noticed a black van inching towards them out of the corner of her eye.
"Kant, a black van is making its way towards us." Jesse mumbled over to him as she walked to the front of the car. Kanto glanced over and frowned, not knowing anything about this black van. It wasn't the K-Force, he was sure of it. Then, just who is it...
The van suddenly rev it's engine, making the two jump. She could feel her heart rate pick up as her fear spiked. She would have lost her composure if it wasn't for a rather concern brush against her mind, which was accompanied by what sounded like a low and quiet groan that echoed within her head- though it sounded distant. It took her a moment to realize that it was Godzilla and his brush, and that quiet groan had caused her to snap out of her fear. She frantically brushed back, trying to reassure him before shoving his surprised mind back.
She quickly grabbed a piece of folded paper from her pocket and shoved it into Kanto's. Kanto hardly had time to comment about it when the van lurched forward and went barreling towards them.
The two jumped out of the way, which caused the van to stop. The back door opened, and four man poured out and two of them went to Jesse, who was forcing herself to her feet. She didn't see the two men coming for her until it was too late, and she was grabbed by both of them. One grabbed her legs and the other grabbed her torso before hauling her towards the car.
Kanto was getting up when he saw this and tried to rush over to help. The two remaining men had other ideas as they both grabbed him, and Kanto could only watch helplessly as the other two man threw Jesse into the back.
One man made sure to punch Kanto in the stomach hard, so he and his partner could let the man go and rushed to the van, jumping and closing the door. The van peeled away with screeching tires, leaving Kanto to fall onto his knees and holding his stomach.
"Damn...it..." he gasped in pain. He took a minute to catch his breath before reaching into his pocket and took out the paper she had giving him. He opened it and clenched the paper, staring at it.
It was Benny's Address.
"What the hell is going on?! Who the fuck are you guys?!" snarled Jesse as she tried to get out of the men's hold who were pinning her down. The one who didn't hold her down came closer to her with a cloth and he put it over her nose and mouth. She held her breath and thrashed, trying so hard but it was no use and she couldn't her breath for long.
She finally took a breath and she could feel her eyes droop. She tried to not let the drug overtake her but eventually. She succumbed to the drug, falling into a forced sleep.
