《Godzilla: Legend Begins》Chapter 20
Advertisement
Godzilla snarled threateningly at the other kaiju, his upper lip curling up and his fangs were bared before he began to trudge forward. Titanosaurus snapped at the air in front of his face but he did begin to move away from the building and the two began to circle one another. Once Godzilla was in between Titanosaurus and the building, he looked down at the roof his eyes picked out the two humans that stood there. He instantly recognized Jesse and then, he leaned down, sniffing her. He could smell blood- her blood. That smell, paired off with the other hovering over her, made even more rage boil and course through his entire being.
He whipped is head around, staring down the other before he opened his mouth and he released a loud, enraged roar before he charged and slammed into Titanosaurus, making the taller kaiju slide a few feet back. In response, Titanosaurus dug his claws deep into Godzilla's shoulders, causing Godzilla to grunt. Godzilla countered by sinking his fangs into the flesh of Titanosaurus' own shoulder and he could taste blood.
"We need to find the old man." Jesse told Kanto as she watched the battle. The man looked at her and shook his head.
"It's too dangerous to attempt that, especially when we have two kaiju duking it out right in front of us. We need to wait for them to move away so it would be safe enough for us to go down to ground level." Kanto reasoned with her. She just frowned and watched as the fight continued. She could see that the two were locked onto each other, neither letting up their claws or fangs. It was like a stalemate.
She got an idea and closed her eyes, trying her best to replay to Godzilla, trying to tell him that he needs to move Titanosaurus further away from the building they were standing on so that they could get onto the ground and run to safety.
She opened her eyes and for a moment, nothing happened. Then, Godzilla was moving forward, pushing Titanosaurus back, making the other kaiju screech. Godzilla had understood and was attempting to do what she had asked.
Kanto, seeing the two kaiju moving away, began to help her to the stairs and helped her down the countless flights of them. It was a slow decent, but they eventually made it down to the ground floor. Benny was waiting for them outside the building. Once he saw her, his shoulders sagged in relief.
"Glad to see you're still alive."
"Good to see you too." She chuckled before pausing. "Did you bring MB?"
"Uh...yeah, why?"
"We're going to help Godzilla."
Godzilla's dorsal plates flashed crimson red and he released the other's shoulders and pulled his head back before he unleashed a blast of his nuclear breath right on the shoulder. Titanosaurus let out a painfilled crackle as he let the other go and stumbled backwards. There was almost nothing left of his shoulder other than a small string of flesh that connected the dangling arm to his upper torso. Blood dripped from the wound and onto the street below.
Godzilla slammed his tail onto the ground and let out a loud bellow that ended in a low snarl. Then, Titanosaurus began to let out a continuous, crackling roar, almost like it was...laughing. The wound started to pulsate and then began to regenerate, connecting back to the dangling arm. Godzilla jolted his head back in surprise with a perplexed look on his face.

The taller kaiju stared straight into Godzilla's eyes as he moved his arm and shoulder around before opening his mouth and firing his sonic beam, catching Godzilla in the chest with it, making him take a few steps backwards. Titanosaurus began to let out a roar that had mixed both high and low pitches, seemingly taunting Godzilla.
Godzilla let out a furious roar and charged at Titanosaurus, slamming into him. This time though, Titanosaurus was ready. He got just the right grip on Godzilla and threw him sideways, making Godzilla land on some low standing buildings harshly.
Before Godzilla could even attempt to get up, Titanosaurus was there, above him, leering down at him with almost glee. He lifted a foot and began to stomp down on Godzilla's arm. After a particularly harsh stomp, it was rewarded by the sound of a bone snapping and Godzilla's roar of pain sounded through the city.
Jesse was marching towards the parking lot that was right next to the dock when the roar reached her, and she began to march faster with a purpose.
"Jesse, wait!" Benny called as he followed her with Kanto. She just ignored him and kept going, her mind set on one thing; grabbing MB and help Godzilla in any way she could.
Kanto caught up with her and gripped her shoulder, making her stop and turn around to face him. "Jesse, you've got to think about this."
"I did."
"We don't know if the prototype would even work!"
"I can't just stand around and wait for Titanosaurus to kill Godzilla! You and I both know that Godzilla is our only hope! You and Benny can go to safety, I am doing this with or without your help." The two stared each other for a long moment, neither budging. Her eyes held both determination and steeled resolve. "Trust me."
Kanto continue to stare at her for another few seconds before he sighed in defeat and rubbed his face before handing the keys over to her. "Fine. We'll get whoever's still in this part of the city to safety. Once that's done and once Godzilla defeats Titanosaurus, I'll come and find you."
Kanto nodded to her and she nodded back in return before gripping the keys and taking off.
Godzilla snarled and managed to slam his tail into the other's side, making Titanosaurus stumble to the side from the unexpected blow. This gave Godzilla enough time to get back up on his feet. He glanced at his arm that was dangling uselessly at his side before looking at Titanosaurus and let out a roar. Then, he swiped some buildings with his tail at an angle, turning the buildings into rubble and made it fly through the air and pelted Titanosaurus. The taller kaiju let out a startled yelp and stumbled back. It was clear that he was not expecting such an onslaught.
Godzilla saw his chance and charged forward. He opened his mouth and sunk his fangs into the other's throat, making it let out a pained roar. Titanosaurus began to try and get Godzilla to release him, hitting the smaller over and over again. The smaller simply bit down harder, causing the taller stumbled back and he ended up backing up right into a tall building, resulting in half of it getting destroyed.
Godzilla only released the other when the taller had dug claws into his neck. He backed up, his upper lip curling once more. He stopped when he was about thirty meters away from the other before his dorsal plates began to light up and glow as he began to charge. His opponent snarled before he two charged up, a light appearing in the back of his throat, getting brighter and brighter.

Then, they both let lose at the same time. Red-orange nuclear breath clashed with the yellow-green sonic beam.
Godzilla dug his foot claws into the ground as he felt himself sliding back ever so slightly and he could see the yellow-green energy slowly beginning to overtake his breath. He put more power into his breath, which resulted in an explosion. It knocked the two kaiju off of their feet, Godzilla landing harshly on his side and Titanosaurus landing heavily on his back. The two seemed daze for a few moments before Titanosaurus recovered first, slowly getting to his feet.
While the battle was going on, Jesse had gotten the MB and was heading towards the most stable building that was close to the battling two. She had only paused to hide when the explosion happened but luckily, she was only a few feet away from the entrance of the said building. Once the wind had died down, she was on the move and got inside the building. She flew up the flight of stairs, ignoring her protesting and aching body the best she could.
Finally, she burst through the door and onto the roof. It seemed that she had chosen the correct building as it was close and high enough for the blaster to work. She walked forward towards the edge before stopping and aimed the blaster up towards the kaiju's head, who had began to charge up his sonic beam once more.
Jesse let out a loud whistle, which had caught Titanosaurus' attention. As soon as he looked down at her, she pulled the trigger. The bolt of energy let loose and it met its mark; his eye and it destroyed his eyeball and damaged the flesh around it. He let out a screech of agony and tried to reach up and touch his now empty eye socket with a clawed hand. Blood was oozing from it, trailing down his cheek and onto the damaged street below.
As she watched, she didn't realize that she wasn't alone on the roof like she thought and that there was a silver gun that was aimed right at her.
Godzilla slowly stood up, shaking his head to clear it before he heard a pained screech. He looked over and saw Titanosaurus screeching and wailing in pain with an empty eye socket. Godzilla saw his chance and he began to charge up his nuclear breath once more. Titanosaurus saw this and quickly, hastily, began to charge up his own beam and like the last time, the two attacks clashed, but this time, it was Titanosaurus who was having trouble.
Godzilla was quick to put more power into his breath, causing it to have small specks of blue and white in both the breath itself and in the glow of his dorsal plates. His breath overtook the other's beam and Titanosaurus only had enough time to let out a faint roar before the breath connected with his head and the head was no more. The body stood there for a moment before it fall backwards on the ground.
He used his breath once more to destroy the remains. He threw his head up and let out a triumphant roar, his tail slamming down onto the ground. Then, a gunshot echoed throughout the nearby blocks.
Jesse was laying on her back, trying her best to press down on the bleeding gunshot wound on her chest. Yusaka stood over her with an enraged expression, in his hand was a smoking pistol and it was aimed at her head.
"You bitch!" he bellowed. "You ruined everything! You're good as dead now, a life for a life!"
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he heard a rumble behind him, making him freeze. He slowly turned and looked up and two fiery eyes stared down at him hatefully, upper lip curled up in a sneer.
Yusaka could only stare up at the behemoth, gaping. Then, Godzilla growled before stabbing his claws down into the roof and in one smooth motion, he ripped part of the roof clean off. The cracks traveled a few inches before it started to fall away, taking the crazed doctor with it. "DAMN YOU!"
Godzilla snorted as he watched the pathetic male disappear as he fell before turning his attention to the prone form of Jesse. He leaned down, sniffing her and smelled the fresh blood coming from her, which made him growl before he managed to scoop her up gently with his good hand and stepped away from the building. He knew that she was still alive, despite her not moving and her eyes closed.
He huffed before starting to scent the air, nostrils flaring. It didn't take him long to catch a vaguely familiar scent and it took him a moment to recognize it as the male that had been with Jesse before. With a grunt, he followed his nose, which lead him to the parking lot, and he could see the male there, looking around. Godzilla stopped and let out a growl, making his presence known.
Kanto had been waiting in the parking lot since Godzilla killed Titanosaurus and the more he waited, the more worried he was becoming, He figured that Jesse would come here to watch Godzilla head out to see as beside the buildings, this was a good view to watch that. With no sign of Jesse approaching, his mind started to come up with everything that could have happened to her. He began to pace but stopped when he heard a growl. He looked over and almost jumped out of his skin when he saw Godzilla standing there, looking down at him, clearly holding something in his hand. How did he not hear the kaiju approach him?
Godzilla then leaned down as far as he could, outstretching his hand and, to Kanto's astonishment, revealed Jesse laying in the middle of his hand with a bleeding wound on her chest. Kanto quickly grabbed her, pulling her to him and the kaiju straightened up. He let out one last roar before moving away from the two and head out to sea where, once it was deep enough, dived and disappeared from the view of others.
Jesse slowly opened her eyes, blinking, before they focused on Kanto. "Hey Kanto...you and everyone else...alright?"
Kanto shook his head at the other. "You have a, what I assume is a bullet, in your chest and...yeah, we're fine. I need to get you to the hospital."
"Hate...hospitals..." she slurred.
"Come on, after we get you all fixed up, we can go back to the island and check up on the herd, how does that sound?"
"That...that sounds...nice..." she grinned faintly before she lost consciousness. The last thing she was aware of was Kanto's voice, telling her not to fall asleep, pleading to her, before she knew no more.
