Pacific Rim: King of the Monsters

Chapter 81. Reborn

The small kaiju escaping from the portal, charged at Kiryu.

They all inspected the corpse, moving it with their mouths and feeling it with their heads.

While Godzilla and Bagan faced off, a subtle howl from the portal called the smaller kaiju back to Hong Kong.

The small army then circled around to one side of the corpse, beginning to ram into the body.

One ram after the next, the army persisted.

The smaller ones stabbed at the ground, breaking it apart while the bigger ones pushed the body. The ones that could fly, all landed next to the flightless and aided in their efforts.

Attempt after attempt, Kiryu was shoved until the ground beneath the him, started to break, giving out and allowing the army to move.

The corpse was pushed and carried toward the portal.

While the king and the abomination duked it out, Kiryu was taken to Hong Kong, being hauled away from the fight.

The body was pushed far into Hong Kong toward the mountains that outlined the city. There, stood a massive spiked monument of bone and flesh, laid out like the opening to the gates of hell.

Between the two largest standing bones, was creature pulsing like a heart. Wires and threads of flesh spread out between the two like veins pumping blood to new muscles and tendons.

As Kiryu was pushed closer, the beating heart started to rip apart into two, with the smaller part becoming a more pronounced figure while the other half continued to beat.

The figure took on a humanoid shape, growing limbs and a head. It sprouted wings and a horn from its forehead. It sat back against a mound of flesh that took on the a throne like appearance, shooting out thorns and rib like bones.

Finally Kiryu was brought to the base of the mountain.

The figure waved its stills growing hand, having the army crawl over Kiryu and begin digging under his side to push him over.

The figures hand split into fingers. With its hands, it put theme together before pulling them apart.

The army pushed Kiryu onto his side and began stabbing into his ribcage. Small pincers from within their mouths shot out into the charred corpse, cutting open a line between the ribs down the middle.

Blood seeped out, along with smoke and steam, yet the army continued to dissect.

Finally, Kiryu's ribs were broken open. Four of the bigger kaiju stepped up and opened the bones apart while the smaller kaiju began searching within the titans body.

Other small kaiju waited on Kiryu, all of army waiting as the smaller members inspected the flesh inside.

While the monsters dug through the innards, the kaiju on the outside realized the charred body was flaking off. The body itself was still fresh even through the appearance of being torched beyond the outer layer of skin.

The figure on the throne began taking on a feminine form. She tilted her head to the side, almost curious to the titans burned remains. She held out her left hand and spread her fingers.

The bigger kaiju took action and used their pincers and jaws to rip away the burned skin, revealing scales and red muscles underneath.

The figure compressed her face until she had a human woman's appearance, Yadens appearance. She sat back in her throne, waiting until her small army finally notified her.

Three smaller kaiju pulled out of the ribcage, two holding the arms of Jay. They held him out and laid him on the back of the third kaiju.

The army spread apart, making a line for the smallest member in the area, allowing it to carry Jay straight up the mountain.
