Danganronpa: The New Face of Despair

Part 2: A King's Bear Hunt

Chapter 5: Codename G.O.D.Z.I.L.L.A

Smoke was coming out of his body. His arms limp from fatigue. But still...

It hurts.

It hurts a lot.

That was stupid of him to have underestimated his opponent like that. The explosion was way more powerful than he could have imagined. And to take the blast in the face like that leaves damage. Most of his front scales melted in the explosion. Flesh was exposed, if anything was to hit him now, it would take a long time to heal... But fortunately, there wasn't any giant bear robot left and scales were already reforming themselves. The giant human weapons were destroyed in these lands anyway. There was more, in other lands across the ocean. He needs to get there. He reached the shore, there was another city there, humans, a lot of them.

Not yet... He can't kill them yet. He looked straight forward, ignoring the screams coming from the city. He put a foot in the salty water, the wounds on his feet itching. With each steps, another part of his body was submerged by the sea, his wounds itching even more. Once the water reached his stomach, the monster leaned in the blue cover of the ocean and swam to its depths. He can go look for whales to eat or anything that will give him some energy. A very long journey was awaiting the King of Monsters.

But Godzilla will reach land, and he will destroy the human's weapons. That, everybody can be sure of that.

Two days later

In the dining hall of the HeadQuarters of the 14th Branch of Future Foundation, Makoto Naegi was sitting alone in a table, saying hello to every agent that passed in front of him but his attention was fully on the video he was watching in his phone, it was the video that Togami took during his mission. The giant Monster from the Kaiju movies was real in flesh and bones, roaring in victory in the flames of a destroyed city. The legendary roar looping again and again in the young man's mind.

"Makoto..." called out a feminine voice next to him, bringing him back into reality. He looked up at his girlfriend's face with a little smile. "You've been watching this video for a long time... Is everything alright?"

"W-Well... I just see that my bad feeling is justified. And I'm very confused by... that." He pointed at the giant lizard form in the small screen on his palm. He sighed again, ruffling a hand through his spiky hair.

"Don't worry. After all, the reports and testimonies says that Godzilla walked next to cities and humans but didn't attack them. But attacked the giant Monokuma unit instead. Then maybe-"

"Maybe he's here to help us!" cheered Aoi Asahina, the Ultimate swimmer, before sitting in front of the lavender hair woman. A box of donuts in her hands. "Want one?" she asked handing over a donut to each of her friends. They agreed with a thanks and bite into the food in their hands. "Kirigiri-chan is right! If Big Badass Goji was here to attack us, he wouldn't have ignored the cities and the helicopter. He must be here to help!" She beamed a bright smile to his kind and worried friend in front of her. Kirigiri also smiled at him in a comforting way.

Makoto Naegi smiled at both girls. "I hope that you're right. But we shouldn't be worried about that right now anyway. First we should go see Togami in-"

He got cut off by a loud bang coming from the door, it was Ethos who kicked the door open. His face was red with anger and his left sleeve was balancing in the air, missing the robotic arm to keep it still.
