History Shows Again and Again

Chapter 20

A/N: Sorry this chapter took so long to come out, writers block and didn't know what to put into it. Also...same is going to happen with the next chapter because I'm not sure what I want to have in it. Thank you all for being patient though. Now, enjoy!

Godzilla was certainly busy. That was the first thought of Zeek when he got on his computer and checked the news. From what he was reading, Godzilla was stopping Scylla from feeding on a lost nuclear warhead off the coast of Savannah, Georgia before she ran off to the tip of South America.

Zeek never once thought about how hungry some of the titans would be after being woken up by Ghidorah, which made him want to face palm at himself. Of course, they would go and try and find some food, why that slipped his mind until now he'll never know.

The man let out a deep sigh as he leaned in his seat before his eyes flickered over to his phone that was set on his desk. He chewed his bottom lip for a moment before picking it up and staring at it for a long moment, debating.

He wanted to call or text someone but he didn't know who. He couldn't contact Madison because of a large time difference between them, likewise with the Chen twins.

So, that really only left one person...but Zeek had no idea if he should contact Ren. Neither had contacted the other since their first meeting and Zeek was hesitant to do it first. What if the other was working? In a meeting? Oh, how he hated not knowing anyone's schedule, he didn't want to be a nuisance for anybody.

He let out a groan and, after some hesitation, he grabbed his phone, opened the contact's and clicked on Ren's name and then the text message icon. After another moment of hesitation, his thumbs began to move.

Zeek:
'Hey, its the MONARCH dude from a week or two ago. Still interested in hearing more about my theories?'

He sat his phone back down and took a deep breath, running a hand through his hair. His leg bounced as he waited for a reply- if he ever got one.

Meeting people in a formal work setting is one thing, meeting people in a civilian setting and actually trying to make friendships after so long was another thing entirely. Maybe that was why he was so nervous at the moment even when he knew he really shouldn't be.

His phone chirped, the screen lighting up with a notification. He picked up his phone, unlocked it and saw that he actually did get a reply back.

R.Serizawa:
'Same place where we met in 20?'

Zeek:
'Aren't you busy?'

R.Serizawa:
'Not at the moment.'

Zeek:
'Alright. See you in 20.'

He set his phone down and stood, stretching as he did. He walked over to his closet and threw the door open, and, after a minute of staring, he began to rummage through it. He settled on a plain white shirt before slipping on a shirt sleeved button up and a pair of shorts. He grabbed his phone, stuffed it in his pocket and went to the living room where he slipped on his sneakers, locked his apartment up and headed out.

****

Zeek sat in the spot he had sat before, close to the wooden railing in the outside seating area of the cafe, his books on the table in front of him. He didn't buy anything this time as he wasn't all that hungry at the moment.

Luckily, he didn't have to wait long as Ren appeared and sat across from him in his all-black attire which Zeek didn't really understand why the other was wearing all black, but he said nothing about it.

"So, uh...let's get started?" Zeek asked, a bit awkwardly. He watched as Ren nodded and he took the first volume and opened it.

"Okay, so, uh...you remember how his breath looked right? When he was fighting the MUTOs?"

"Yes."

"I have a theory why it looked like that and why it didn't look like how we saw it a year ago."

"And that theory is?'

"His breath was weakened, and I think that was because of the MUTO's EMP." Zeek showed him the page where he had some things on the topic. "It would be the only reason why the MUTOs had such a defense in the first place. Get rid of your predator's main attack, they'll be more vulnerable. Now, don't ask me how that makes his breath weakened or unusable. Only thing I got is that there's a spark in the back of his throat and who knows if that's even true."

"Well...that would explain some things."

Zeek nodded. "Yeah, like why he didn't try when the male joined back into the fight to help the female. Another thing that I don't know is how long the effects last. Could be thirty minutes, could be a few hours. There's no way to exactly test it. I doubt Godzilla would let us along with Queen."

"Queen?"

"Yeah. It's what I call the MUTO that's still alive. She is older than the one from twenty-fourteen and it looks like she has a crown on her back. Look, I suck at naming things, okay?"

Ren just gave a soft snort before he paused. "Why didn't Gojira kill her?"

"Other than her bowing to him? Probably because she isn't a threat."

"Not...a threat? How?"

"She isn't going to molt or whatever into a new MUTO Prime and she doesn't have a male. Godzilla almost died from the MUTOs because there were two of them. Before, when he first confronted the female, he was going to win but then the male came, and he started to lose. If it wasn't for the destruction of the nest to distract the two, we wouldn't have Godzilla and Earth would have been overrun by them and countless ecosystems could have been destroyed. Our civilizations would just be another for the history books."

"You really think that?"

"Yeah, and if we decided to use countless atomic bombs on as many as we could...we'd be looking at the annihilation of everything. This is why I believe that we should have some people to not be ahead of anything when they are so quick to pull out the atomic option."

He could see Ren opening his mouth, pausing before closing it and he was silent for a moment. "What other theories do you have?"

Zeek held back a grin, looked for another theory he thought the other might be interested in and began.
