The GameraVerse: REMASTERED

3: Battle for the Showa Era

Reiwa stepped back, his side bleeding and his mouth lit with plasma. He roared at Guiron, before being hit with Gyaos's laser from behind. He turned, sensing Guiron was running up on him from behind. Reiwa roared at Gyaos, and just before Guiron could ram his knife head through his spine, he let loose a Fire Pulse. Guiron flew backward, and he quickly hit Gyaos with a fire blast, knocking him to the ground.

Before he closed the distance to finish him off, he was rammed into by Jiger, falling into a building, but quickly recovering and slamming a claw into her face. She roared in pain, rearing back, and firing several spikes from her face. Reiwa growled at the inconvenience, simply removing the projectiles, and kicking Jiger into a building.

Before she could get up, he stomped on her head, hearing her bones creak and groan at the strain. He lifted his foot and stomped down again, and again, and after the fourth stomp, her face was bloody and half the height it was before. He began to charge a plasma blast, but was able to see Guiron lunging at him, and turned, firing the charged attack right in Guiron's face.

Guiron's blade absorbed the majority of the blast, but he fell back, with his face badly burnt by the heat of the attack, groaning in pain. Reiwa looked back down at Jiger, whose tail was rising up, a spike protruding from its tip. He grabbed the tail, and crushed it in his claws, making Jiger screech in pain. He then stomped on her back, and ripped her tail off, and charged a plasma blast. He aimed, and blasted her into a pile of ashes.

He turned to Guiron now, seeing Guiron backing away. He had not expected this Gamera to be so strong, and brutal. But Reiwa quickly closed the distance, grabbing Guiron's head, and tore it off his body. Some of the spine trailed behind, with Reiwa inspecting the strange head before tossing it aside. As he did this, a beam hit him in the head, drawing a bit of blood. Reiwa turned, his teeth bared, seeing a fully healed Gyaos standing there.

Upon seeing the corpses of Jiger and Guiron, Gyaos suddenly lost the urge to fight. But before he could begin flying away, his wing was burnt off by a sudden fire blast. Gyaos quickly extinguished the flames with his gas that nullified fire, but his wing was already gone. Reiwa stalked towards him, growling. "Nowhere to run now. Time for us to settle this, kaiju to kaiju." Gyaos fell backwards, blasting away with his beam, which Reiwa simply ignored. In moments, he'd closed the gap between them, grabbing Gyaos and ripping off his jaw.

Gyaos backed away, his wing claw clutching his gaping wound, before Reiwa stabbed his claws through Gyaos's body. Gyaos twitched, falling to the ground. Reiwa, knowing he could regenerate now, charged a plasma blast, and fired at the Gyaos's corpse. He went up in flame, and in a couple minutes, he was reduced to ashes.

Reiwa noticed his wounds then, but he simply began absorbing the fire in the city, his wounds closing. He didn't have enough to completely heal the damage, but he flew off anyway, knowing he would be fully healed in a couple hours. But he still sensed two more kaiju, and his counterpart. He leaned his head down, giving off a burst of speed. Now to finish this fight.

Showa punched Zigra's face, knocking the pathetic fish to the ground. As he did this, he ducked, barely dodging Viras's flying stab he'd done the first time they'd fought. Showa stood up, wagging a finger at him. "Can't get me twice with that, Mr. Squidward." Viras stood up, roaring and flinging out his tentacles. Showa moved them aside, and slapped Viras in the face. He grabbed a tentacle, and tossed him at Zigra, who was just getting up.

Showa rolled his shoulders, and fired his fire breath. Viras saw this, and quickly moved out of the way, leaving Zigra to get blasted. Zigra screamed, rolling across the ground, before he turned into the world's largest cooked fish. Viras, knowing he couldn't beat Gamera alone, went to get away, only to run into Reiwa. Before he could even back away, Reiwa grabbed him, and fired off a fire blast in his face, turning him into a very charred corpse.

Reiwa tossed him aside, and saw Showa walking up to him. "Hey other me, nice work. It seems like we more or less got all the kaiju..." Showa frowned, then his face brightened. "Yep! No more kaiju I can sense. And no children were killed." Reiwa raised an eyebrow, before turning away. "About that... I'm pretty sure I killed several thousand of them in the fight I was in." Showa looked horrified, then a little angry. 

"You killed humans?!" Reiwa shrugged. "They shouldn't have been in the way. Not like I want them to die, I just kind of had some experiences that make me a little salty towards humans." Showa softened. "That's ok, just, please try to not kill too many, ok?" Reiwa nodded. "Now, I need to figure out how to get to my world-"

Reiwa was suddenly overcame by a sudden headache, falling to his knees. His head showed him images, of a Gamera surrounded by a burning city, a horde of Gyaos above him. the image shifted to him fighting a large bug kaiju, and shifted again to a strange tentacled kaiju who laughed at Gamera, a large blade of his stabbed through his hand.

Reiwa suddenly snapped back to Showa's universe, the name of this Gamera. And he knew now that the Gamera he just saw was Heisei. Showa suddenly leaned in front of him, looking very concerned. "Are you ok?" Reiwa nodded. "I think- I think that I need to help the other Gamera's." Showa looked confused. Reiwa picked his head up. "Mecha said that they were going to destroy the whole GameraVerse. That means that what happened here, will happen to the other Gamera's too."

Showa, understanding now, nodded. "But, how do you..." Reiwa suddenly felt a strange strength surge into him, and he stood. He imagined Heisei as he saw him, feeling a pull in his body. He saw Showa gasp, and he looked down, seeing a golden-orange mist swirling around him. He lifted his hands, seeing them begin to fade into the same color as the mist.  He looked to Showa, nodding to him. "Good luck, Showa." Showa waved to him. "What's your name?" As Reiwa faded, he said, "Reiwa."

Then he was gone, the mist dissipating behind him.

Mecha watched this from the rift between universes, the place his master called home. He turned to the master, who sat on a throne made of stone. "The Showa Gamera lives, and Reiwa seems to be able to control his strange ability now."

The master was silent a moment, then chuckled. "Well then, perhaps we'll have a challenge destroying the GameraVerse. How about our little project?" Mecha smirked. "It's near completion already." 

The master leaned back, a grin upon his face. "Very good. The GameraVerse won't see it coming!"
