Kaiju Girls: Black Mass (Kaiju Girls x Reed)

Chapter 4

Gojirin and Kamakura San faced off directly, the latter's eyes were unable to move, while the prior's were staring directly into them before she snarled and roared in a challenge. Kamakura San didn't respond. She didn't even seem to perceive it, she then began glowing purple slowly, which gradually grew brighter. Kamakura San opened her mouth and began spewing a thick fog of black smoke in Gojirin's direction, she braced herself for it to be lethal, only for it to feel like she was being blown on by a large fan. Gojirin looked at the Black Smoke cloud growing around her, rising above her waist, and then Kamakura San ignited it. The flames spread throughout it faster than Gojirin could react, and she was enveloped in a large explosion, a screech of shock escaping her. Kamakura San kept the blast on the area Gojirin was in, no further signs of life evident, only for the flames to go down to reveal her, unfazed, unhurt. Gojirin growled, before marching up to Kamakura San, muscling through the blast, not noticing the fire concentrating into a beam, which Gojirin felt, but it wasn't hurting yet. She ran up to Kamakura San and rammed into her, the beam losing concentration on Gojirin, who then punched her across the face before hammer-fisting Kamakura San, followed by a knee to the face from Gojirin.
The size now was clear, Gojirin stood at only 100 meters, and Kamakura San stood at 118 meters. But it didn't matter, as the latter was pulled by the head and thrown again to the ground, the prior then grabbed Kamakura San by the neck and held her down.
   "Talk," Gojirin demanded. There were many questions in her mind; What is this thing? Why does it look like me? Where the hell did it come from? etc. Kamakura San didn't move her mouth to respond, only staring blankly at Gojirin, who heard some rumble falling and being shifted, but didn't think much of it. Serizawa saw though that Kamakura San's tail had moved and was glowing purple at the end, the underdeveloped head now opened its makeshift mouth and fired at a concentrated beam at the back of Gojirin's head, catching her by surprise. Immediately, the latter got defensive, grabbing the tail and attempting to cut off circulation, only to feel briefly the flames from Kamakura San, then the purple beam as well, now being caught between them. Gojirin didn't think much at first, till her skin was being broken at last. It felt like an annoying sting, and with a clenched fist, she backhanded Kamakura San in the bottom jaw, making her beam aim at the city and the ocean, before ripping off the deformed head on the tail. Gojirin though was then shoved forward, and forced against a building, it felt almost as if a predator like a wolf had pinned down a rabbit, but Gojirin pushed off Kamakura San, and nailed the larger kaiju in the gut, which didn't seem to be very effective. Following up the gut punch, Gojirin hit Kamakura San with a haymaker, which caused the latter to stumble but reply with a thwack of her tail, which the prior was knocked back a bit, but remained standing, and then go for the attack.
   Kamakura San was hit in the core of her body by two fists, and then hit with a 1-2 combo in the chest, before she went to try and bite Gojirin, only to be punched in the mouth, and then blasted in the face by her(Gojirin) atomic breath, which caused actual pain, as one of her dead eyes popped from the heat. Now there was an opening, Gojirin got behind Kamakura San and put her in a tight squeezing headlock. The latter didn't make a struggle or much noise while in it, only a strained, raspy gasping before the purple glow of her body returned. Gojirin was a bit puzzled by this; she wasn't in front of her, and her tail should be - Before she could even finish the thought, she felt that same beam hit and cut shallowly into her, making her wince before deflecting the tail by using her own, which wasn't half as long. Gojirin sank her teeth in Kamakura San's shoulder, drawing blood, but not noticing the growing heat along the latter's back, until she was hit point blank by multiple stronger beams at once. Gojirin was thrown off and had multiple burns all across her, mostly her torso took the grunt of the attack, but her legs, and arms suffered the burns and one lucky bean got her face. Kamakura San then spun her whole body towards Gojirin, and fired her atomic beam from her mouth, hitting Gojirin in the lower leg, pushing it out from under her, and then hitting her shoulder. The tail head soon joined, concentrating fire in the same area, Gojirin defended by cutting off both and going into a beam struggle, which she succeeded in overpowering them and knocking Kamakura San down again.
   "Bitch." was all Gojirin could think to reply with as she rubbed the deep burn Mark on her shoulder. If there was one thing to be fortunate about, was these wounds had been cauterized, but she still hurt all over and knew the night and the fight were gonna be long. Kamakura San pushed herself back up, hunched over, as she seemed to be trying to heal her burns, to no luck. The radiation from Gojirin's atomic breath was lingering, and killing off any regenerating cells Kamakura San's body was spawning, leaving her also unable to adapt. Now she turned to face Gojirin, her remaining eye now snapped forward to stare at the latter, who was ready for what was being thought up. Kamakura San growled, before roaring and rushing, while her body might not be regenerating, it already was adapting. Her arms grew muscular tissue, her legs began shifting to be capable of speed and agility, and the head at the end of the tail further developed to completion, but one interesting shift was that Kamakura San was changing to resemble Gojirin. The latter was surprised but didn't run to meet the prior, instead opening her arms like she was about to embrace a long-lost friend, a smirk on her face. Kamakura San clawed needlessly in the direction of Gojirin, soon being within arms reach, only to have her wrists grabbed, Gojirin dropped down onto her back placed her two feet on Kamakura San's stomach, and then tossed her overhead. She was shocked, she'd been tossed so easily, and soon crashed into the floor, face first. Gojirin roared in victory now, seeing Kamakura San wasn't moving anymore, but stopped when she heard some helicopters coming, and the roar of a large airplane, spotting the Super X3 almost immediately. So far, it hadn't engaged her, only flying around like a waiting vulture. The helicopters came and picked up the survivors of the Argo crash, which only now caught her attention. Immediately, her face turned to worry, as she walked over to see what happened, seeing Serizawa had fortunately survived. This made her sigh in slight relief, but then there was the high-pitched sound of Kamakura San's beam cutting the air again, as it narrowly graced Gojirin's shoulder, burning a small piece of her, but the latter fired back with her atomic breath, only to shortly stop and protect her face from the tail's beam. She was now being attacked at two angles, being heavily burned, and was forced to her knee. The Super X3 engaged, firing a single file line of cryo-missiles that went up Kamakura San's back, causing severe damage, and freezing over the injuries. This was the exact distraction Gojirin needed to get back up and get in close quarters with Kamakura San, immediately going for big hits on the body, but was then humbled by a strong right hook from the latter. Blood spilled from Gojirin, a nasty purple bruise covered her entire cheek, and she was dropped to the floor. Kamakura San charged her beam again, seemingly preparing to finish Gojirin off, but the Super X3 went into engage but was baited, and quickly cut in two by Kamakura San.
   "Mr. Serizawa, we have to get you out of here now!" A G.D.F. Soldier ordered, getting himself and the prior on board the helicopter with Vivienne and Stanton.
"We can't just leave her, that thing will be the death of her!" Serizawa protested, staring in horror as Gojirin struggled to push herself up, and Kamakura San was now focused solely on Gojirin. The face the latter made, how the light illuminated her, it gave him PTSD of Reed.
"We've already got Kiryu sent out and on his way! He'll be here - Oh, right now."
Right then, a large barrage of missiles engulfed both Kaiju Girls, most of them aimed at Kamakura San. The roar of rocket thrusters was heard and was the only thing that the eye could distinguish in the black sky where Kiryu was since he was equipped with black armor, instead of his usual silver. The mechanical samurai came close to the ground, and crashed into his feet, skidding in, before soon hauling and standing to his full height. His dorsal plates shifted forward, as did his armor, from flight mode into combat mode. His guns rotated forward, as did the missile launchers, and his tail unstiffened. His gaze was forever one of seeming vengeance, blood tears seeming to stream from his eyes behind the mask that covered his mouth. Gojirin felt weak throughout her whole body seeing Kiryu, not only because she knew the raw power behind that machine, but because she knew it by something much older.
"Dad..." she spoke under her breath, finally pushing herself to her hands and knees. The booms and clang of Kiryu's footsteps made Gojirin nervous until she saw his boots right before her. She slowly looked up to meet the glowing yellow eyes of Kiryu, before being offered a hand by him. She took it and was helped up to her feet. She still felt uncomfortable seeing it; this machine with her dad's skeleton as a framework, to make it worse this machine nearly beat her to death, multiple times. But she set that aside, now twice.
Kamakura San rose to her feet, snarling, but seemingly having a broken smile. Her face now regenerated, since the irritated flesh had been destroyed, allowing her to heal finally. Her body began shifting, it was now shifting to be closer to the shape of Gojirin, and even her head and face began shifting to almost appear like her, granted, she still looked burned, with all her teeth exposed. She now looked between Kiryu and Gojirin, the prior was unphased and ready for action, while the latter was creeped out. Kamakura San stomped forward, before slowly going into a sprint, Kiryu mimicking her, before both crashed into each other, releasing a shockwave that cleared almost all the nearby fires. Both pushed against each other, evenly matched, until Kiryu extended his Maser Blade and stabbed Kamakura San in the lung with it, before beginning to electrocute her. The latter screeched in pain and was now being overpowered, till being pinned into a corner. Kiryu now had her on the ropes, and took full advantage, beating her down with the aggression of a hurricane's winds. Pieces of flesh and blood were coming off Kamakura San, her jaw was soon dislocated with a broad right hook, and Kiryu continued mercilessly.
Gojirin felt a need to hug herself as she could almost feel that beating, having been through the same ass-whooping. Kiryu brought up his foot and Spartan kicked Kamakura San in the center mass, causing her to fall back, and finally collapse the building. It was seemingly over, but both knew it wasn't. Kiryu aimed his railguns and missile launchers at Kamakura San and began lighting her up in heavy fire, a gargled roar came from her as she vomited and coughed blood. Her tail twitched and moved, before charging up and firing, hitting Kiryu in the back, and began cutting through or damaging his armor. Kiryu stopped his fire and extended his Maser Blade again, before decapitating the tail. Kamakura San took her chance, getting up, and shoulder-checking the steel Dragon samurai, before hammering her fists down on his head, only busting her knuckles. Kiryu aimed his missile launchers and fired on Kamakura San, getting her off him enough to stand back up and tackle her. He hoisted her up off the ground, before throwing her down to the ground. Kamakura San fired her beam at his head, missed, but cut off his right shoulder missile launcher. Kiryu grabbed her by the face and began plowing a crop line with her, making Gojirin wince at the brutality, but also respected it in a sort of way. Kamakura San growled before getting Kiryu's hand off her and trying to blast him in the face with her beam, but he sacrificed his right rail gun to deflect it. The prior kangaroo kicked the latter back and got back up before being kneed in the side by Gojirin, who now ran into the fight, but was shoved off almost immediately. Kiryu used his thrusters to propel himself at Kamakura San, crashing into and stunning her, before hitting her with a hammer fist, and then an uppercut. Gojirin came into the combo with a running-in-and-lunging punch, hitting Kamakura San in the jaw. Kiryu came in again and jabbed Kamakura San in her ribs, a crack coming from them, as both he and Gojirin forced the rogue Kaiju Girl into the water.
Kamakura San growled, before spinning around to try and sweep them with her tail. Gojirin bent back into a crab pose, while Kiryu casually ducked under it, before lunging forward with an attempted haymaker, but was blasted by the dorsal lasers. Ke blocked with his arms and was pushed back by the power, Gojirin was shocked by how much damage was happening to Kiryu but went into a frenzy at the thought of her dad's skeleton getting damaged, and blasted Kamakura San in the back with her atomic breath, causing the latter to cease fire on the prior. Gojirin continued blasting Kamakura San in the back till she was hit in the side by the tail's beam, but her adrenaline rush allowed her to hold for a few seconds. Kiryu snapped the tail with Gojirin sandwiched in Kamakura San, who could sense him behind her, while keeping her eyes on Gojirin. Agitation was evident from all parties, Kiryu almost always looked pissed, but with how his head was angled with the helmet, his eyes were slit. Gojirin was burned and bruised, her teeth were bared even as blood ran down her lip, and her knuckles were covered in both her and Kamakura San's blood at this point, who was scowling at the prior, seemingly taking her all in to try and replicate. It was silent, before the storm.
Gojirin ran in first, dodging Kamakura San's mouth beam, which was quick to follow her. Kiryu tried to come in behind, but the dorsal plate lasers kept him at bay until he was on her side, and her tail now took up the mantle of keeping him off. Gojirin was soon close and put all the power she could into a punch, moving her whole body with it, only for Kamakura San to sweep it away and punch the prior in the ribs, breaking a few. The latter grew a smile upon seeing the pain inflicted, but couldn't enjoy it as Gojirin blasted her back with her atomic breath for a few seconds, before using her other arm to deliver the same punch, this time colliding, and stunning Kamakura San. Kiryu began firing his rail gun at the tail, putting multiple holes in it until it collapsed, and he was out of ammunition. He aimed his remaining shoulder missile launcher and was about to fire when Kamakura San fired her beam at the dead center of it, piercing through the whole thing and causing it to explode. Gojirin then grabbed her by the waist and hoisted Kamakura San up, who struggled before firing her dorsal plate lasers, burning Gojirin in the face now, before being suplexed. The latter backed up, covering the burned side of her face, and catching her breath before falling onto her hands and knees. Kiryu stood up straight in a mountain stance, put his arms to his side, and became locked, almost like a statue as his chest compartment opened to reveal his ultimate weapon, the Absolute Zero Canon. Kamakura San got up sluggishly, the toll of this battle evident, but her body managed to mend wounds that weren't coated in radiation. Hatred for Gojirin was evident as she stared at her, but the hum of the Absolute Zero Canon charging, followed by the hiss of the air freezing around it soon caught her attention. She was stunned, horrified, but unwilling to back down. Her tail rose to her side and charged its beam as she did the same, both lasers then fired, aimed at Kiryu's chest, right as he fired. The two beams of light were no match for the blast, and she was hit square in the chest, freezing her forever in a horrified screaming face of realization too late. Kiryu began powering down, his hands drooping down and becoming relaxed, and his head lowered down as if he'd fallen asleep standing, this hiss of his body powering down heard cutting the air. A streak of frozen water from the attack crumbled and was washed away by the ocean, leaving Gojirin the last one standing.
She was weak, she was hurting everywhere, but at least it was over. Her focus was solely on Kiryu, as she stood there, and moved to walk up to look at him closely. Both of them were face-to-face now, Gojirin's soft breath, and the sound of the sea. She looked at the masked face, which now had no life to it, and smiled warmly.
"I thank you Father for saving your daughter, again. It's a shame I don't have your final gift on me, but when we fight again, I hope I can show you how much I've grown." Gojirin spoke softly to the machine, recognizing the face of her father in it. She then began to walk away, before disappearing into the ocean.

A few hours later

Gojirin yawned as she walked up onto the beach of her island, but stopped halfway as she felt the pain of her cracked ribs. Awaiting her not too far off the beach was Mothra, who seemed expectant as she calmly sipped some tea.
"Always ready to lick my wounds for me, huh?" Gojirin said, a smirk on her face.
"Sit," Mothra said, gesturing in front of her "This will help ease the burns and the broken bones." Gojirin was handed a dark green concoction, which she sighed before sipping, she gagged at the strong bitter taste but swallowed hard. After Gojirin had drunk it all, she was handed water to wash it down. "There we go. Now, let's take you to the grotto so you can properly heal, and then you can tell me all about it." Though Gojirin's actual mother was still alive, Mothra often felt like her second one. Megami was the one you went to for advice about the hard things, while Mothra was the one you'd go to wash the stress away, cry on the shoulder, and talk about it with.
Once in the grotto, Gojirin groaned and winced, but relaxed in the water, which glowed the same blue as Mothra's eyes upon feeling the prior's presence.
"I'll never understand how this works," Gojirin said, putting her arms up at the side, before sighing in relaxation "But I like how it does." Mothra chuckled, cupping some water before slowly trickling it on Gojirin's shoulder injury, humming a relaxing melody.
"I advise you to take it easy. The one who did this put a number on you."
"Are you suggesting my wounds won't heal?"
"No, burns and broken bones are nothing the grotto can't mend, but you should take it easier on yourself. Roll over, please." Gojirin rolled around, and Mothra got in the water with her, now rubbing the prior's shoulders. Gojirin had to admit that she very much liked the hands-on approach Mothra had to help her heal, mostly massaging her muscles. "Dunk your head," Mothra ordered kindly, which Gojirin did without hesitation. Mothra rubbed the burn on Gojirin's face, feeling the burnt tissue crack and wash away before healthy skin replaced it. Gojirin rose out of the water, facing the smaller woman who was shorter than her chest, but still held much power, and looked into those big blue eyes.
"I expect you to take my advice."
"What was it again? I forgot." Gojirin said teasingly, making Mothra smirk herself.
"If I must enforce the law, I will, even on you." Mothra pressed her finger on Gojirin, a playfulness between them, as Gojirin seemed to have a devious smile when she said "Will you now? Then enforce it."
Mothra was caught off guard as she was swept off her feet by Gojirin and playfully tackled deeper into the water, where Mothra cried her little pet name.
"Goji!"
"Aww, what? Is the queen's moth all flustered?" Gojirin said in a baby voice, waving her pointer finger around before gently laying it on Mothra's nose, making her face turn all red. They both floated there for a while, Gojirin mostly resting on Mothra's lap as she rubbed the prior's scalp.
"Alright. As fun, as this was, you do need to go home now."
"Aww, do I? Or can I make it up to you here and now."
"You coming back alive is enough of a repayment for healing you to full health. I don't even know what I'd do if you didn't."
"You won't have to, hopefully."
"'Hopefully'?" Mothra chuckled, before noticing how Gojirin's expression shifted. "What was it?"
"A mutant, like Reed. She was incredibly powerful and probably would've killed me without human intervention. She began changing to resemble a larger, stronger version of me before my dad killed her with that ice blast."
"I see. But, I trust that she'll be of no issue now."
"Yeah."

In Tokyo, the fire died, and the Argo and S. X3 as well as Kiryu were taken from the area. Kamakura San was analyzed in her frozen state, with the pieces of flesh that were hacked off ignored. Those same pieces, their blood even, began convulsing, before moving closely together and fusing. The clean-up crew found some of these pieces and saw they were alive and regenerating, but before one of them could turn in this information, a flesh beast uncannily resembling Kamakura San killed them, before fusing with these chunks. Eventually, all of it was recovered, leaving a small blob that grew and morphed into a smaller Kamakura San, which stared at the old body as it finished mutating, now looking more like Gojirin. A difference was its pupils were darker instead of fire red, and her dorsal plates were the same as Kamakura San's, the head at the end of the tail was fully developed, but she appeared more muscular. Her hands also only had three digits, not including the thumb, and were monstrous claws, and her feet were saurian.
"Do not worry, old me. I will avenge you, starting with her death." Kamakura San Jr said, staring out in the distance blankly, and slowly walking past the frozen version, and into the ocean.
