TITANS 2150.4 - The Last Empire (Disney Monster Universe Phase 2)

Chapter 11 - Deadly Wildlife

As the Hollow Earth expedition continued, Monarch also had his work cut out for him on the surface. Thanks to their satellites transmitting live images, the organization was able to monitor the progress of the awakened titans. From the control room of Castle Bravo, Henri Serizawa supervised operations with the army of operators behind him, his eyes tirelessly scanning the multitude of screens.

_"Rodan and Quetzalcoatl managed to repel the living alien mass in Colombia." one of the operators indicated to the boss. "However, other more or less important clusters with the same origin have been spotted all over the world, all in places with a very high level of pollution. The titans Leviathan, Baphomet, Sekhmet, Anguirus and Gamera are currently confronting them."

Indeed, the different screens showed fights of absolute violence in the four corners of the world, the titans fighting with ferocity against these viscous tentacular masses which seemed to become larger and larger as they progressed.

_"Evacuations from nearby populated areas are proving more complicated than expected." said another operator. "There are too many civilians and the titan battles pose serious difficulties for our teams."

_"Do your best." Serizawa then ordered, well aware that it would be anything but easy. "What about Godzilla? Where is he now?"

_"He continues his way through Europe." replied the chief operator. It has destroyed several other power plants on its way to devour the radiation and is currently heading towards the city of Chernobyl!"

Serizawa scanned the radar showing the current location of the King of Monsters. Kim, Ron, and Hiro had returned to base, the Kiryu mecha in need of some repairs after its brief but violent confrontation with Godzilla. Kim Possible entered the operations room, coming to stand next to Henri who rubbed his eyes from fatigue and stress.

_"What is his goal?" whispered Serizawa. "His radiation level keeps increasing, to the point where our scanners can no longer keep up. Godzilla wouldn't do that just for a single enemy."

_"I think it's clear." Kim replied darkly. "Whatever this alien thing is, it's not the only threat. I could see the look on Godzilla's face, it was the same when he was fighting Destoroyah...it wasn't even anger anymore , but... rage, a rage that no human words can explain. He knows what is happening, and he is determined to put an end to it, no matter the cost."

_"No matter the cost..." Serizawa repeated thoughtfully, looking anxious.

_"Godzilla is the guardian of the natural balance, not of humanity." said Kim, sure of herself. "If saving the planet meant exterminating our civilization, he wouldn't hesitate for a single second to do it. And I think even Elsa wouldn't be able to stop him."

Serizawa recognized this fact although it made him shudder even more.

_"That's why I admire him as much as I fear him." admitted the Monarch leader. "He witnessed the birth and fall of so many peoples, survived all the mass extinctions in our history... We who pride ourselves on being the most evolved species... In the end, who are we to question the judgment of nature itself?"

Filled with an exceptional but still insufficient reserve of atomic energy for him, Godzilla had made his way across the continent, causing considerable devastation, many nuclear power plants destroyed and emptied of their contents, leaving a growing number of human populations deprived of their electrical resources. But this kind of detail was worth nothing to Godzilla. He had a clear objective and nothing would distract him, and certainly not these humans and their ridiculous weaponry.

Crushing entire groups of trees under his feet, the king of the monsters finally arrived in sight of the silent ruins of the city of Chernobyl. Breaking down ruined buildings in his path without a care, Godzilla headed towards the infamous nuclear power plant, also long abandoned. With a dull growl, Godzilla began to tear the building apart with claws and jaws, digging little by little to finally reach the basement where dormant radioactive stocks were still located.
