TITANS 2150.3 - All Monsters War (Disney Monster Universe Phase 2 - Book 3)

Chapter 13 - The God, the King and the Devil part 2

At Monarch's Castle Bravo outpost somewhere in Bermuda, Serizawa and all the other members of the council were gathered around the large black table in the meeting room. No one said a word because everyone was frozen in amazement but above all in horror at what they were looking at. In front of them, the holographic screen transmitted live to the camera what Gipsy Danger was seeing. Thus, they had been able to see the appearance of Destoroyah, but especially its terrifying power and how much it put Godzilla and Kong in difficulty despite their numerical superiority.

_"By all the gods...It's...it's impossible...Such a thing cannot exist..." whispered Doctor Lewis.

_"And yet, it's there..." answered Serizawa in a worried and dark tone. "I thought nothing could surprise me anymore... What an fool I was."

_"What can we do?" asked one of the advisers.

_"Nothing, except praying that Godzilla and Kong are strong enough together to stop this thing. They must succeed. This abomination is far too dangerous to stay alive. Its mere presence has catastrophic consequences... Look... "

Serizawa pressed one of the buttons on the holographic keyboard in his office, displaying a series of virtual screens, streaming more live images from all the Monarch outposts scattered around the world. The results were beyond the imagined catastrophe. Everywhere, the titans, normally dormant and confined under high surveillance, had begun to awaken, moved by an unusual anger and had started to ravage everything in their path. Rodan. Behemoth. Methuselah. These three titans had broken free, causing havoc in their path. Other titans, such as Anguirus, Gamera, and Baragon, could never be found and contained, so Monarch was unaware of their current situation. However, in China, the titan Mothra had remained strangely dormant, still in her egg. The council members shared the same bewildered expressions.

_"How...how is this possible?!"

Serizawa kept his face grim and gestured towards Destoroyah on the screen.

_"He did it... We don't know how he does it yet, but it seems that this creature is all chaos, madness and destruction incarnated in one and the same body, and that his mere physical presence is enough to infect other titans, making them becoming totally violent and uncontrollable."

This simple description was enough to instill more anxiety and fear in the hearts and souls of the council members, who then wondered how such a monstrosity could ever be defeated. But suddenly, the building was violently shaken by what appeared to be an impact followed by an explosion, nearly knocking everyone in the meeting room off balance.

_"Damn it! What's going on?!" said Lewis.

A guard stormed into the room and spoke to Serizawa.

_"Sir! Hydra forces are attacking the base!"

_"What?! But it's absurd! They never dared to do such madness!" said one of the advisers.

Serizawa and Lewis shared the same expression, not being that surprised. The appearance of Destoroyah and this sudden onslaught of Hydra... The director of Monarch immediately took matters into his own hands, looking determined and placing his hands firmly on the table.

_"Very well, if they want war, they will have it! Get ready to defend the base! Take no prisoners! On that day, mankind will fight alongside the titans in the defense of this world!"

Serizawa's orders were carried out without waiting for a second and spread through the base with lightning speed. Troops of soldiers, all equipped and armed, rushed to their posts while the scientific staff ran to take cover in the bunkers provided. Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Dash, and Violet, who had stayed behind to defend the base in case of need, joined the main outer landing pad and stood ready to defend it with all their might, in their super-heroes suits and under a budding rain.
