Summary: A short story about how Gigan met Biolante, and how their deadly romance started.

1999

"This is the place." Hedorah said. "Ghidorah said they'd be in here."
Gigan looked at the florescent sign for the dive bar. He scoffed, placing his hands in his pockets.
"I don't see why we need another recruit." He said. "You, Destroyah, and I are enough."
"Ghidorah seems pretty worried about how powerful Gojira's son is getting." Hedorah explained. "Now let's get this over with."
Gigan agreed. They stepped into the bar, and the stench of alcohol, vomit, and other bodily fluids hit him like a brick. Ghidorah had sent him and Hedorah here to find a new recruit for his army. Apparently, their name was Biolante. But unfortunately, Ghidorah neglected to tell them what Biolante looked like. They didn't even know if they were a male or female. Gigan rolled his eyes. As far as he cared, this was pointless.
"I'm gonna get a drink." Gigan said. Hedorah turned to him, raising an eyebrow under his gas mask.
"We don't have time for that." He protested.
"Hey, we're in a bar, right?" Gigan replied, smirking.
"That doesn't matter, we're on a mission!" Hedorah insisted. Gigan ignored him and sat down at the counter. After ordering a drink, he glanced to his left. And that's when he saw her. A girl about his own hight, with long dark green hair and slightly tanned skin. Her eyes were downcast at the drink in her hand. She seemed upset about something. After some time, she noticed Gigan looking at her.
"See something you like?" She asked. She didn't seem like she was in a joking mood.
"Sorry." Gigan responded. "I see a hot girl and just can't help myself, I guess."
"Hm." The girl responded. She seemed to smirk a little, staring back at her drink. That compliment must have raised her spirits a bit. Gigan stuck out a hand.
"I'm Gigan, by the way." He said. The girl looked back at him, gasping in surprise when she noticed his metallic hands. Gigan realized what she was looking at and laughed it off. "Long story." He explained.
"...I...I'm Biolante." The girl responded, shaking his hand. Gigan's grin faded when he heard her name. He raised an eyebrow.
"Wait... did you just say Biolante?" Gigan asked. "You fought Godzilla a few weeks ago, right?"
"So you watch the news, good for you." Biolante responded.
"That's not what I meant." Gigan chuckled. "Look, I work for a guy named King Ghidorah. He's an alien warlord from Venus, and he's been building an army for a few years now. He sent me to find you."
"Oh really?" Biolante asked, smiling. She seemed to be in a better mood now. She fully turned to Gigan, now invested in their conversation.
"So what sort of powers do you have?" Gigan asked.
"I can control plant life." Biolante explained. "I can manipulate their cells to make them change size, and I can even change the plant species itself."
Gigan raised an eyebrow. "Personally, I think you'd be a pretty good fit for Ghidorah's army, if you're interested." He asked. Biolante took another sip of her drink, then set it on the counter.
"I think I am." She said. "But I'm more interested in something else."
"And what might that be?" Gigan asked, though he thought he knew already. Biolante leaned in close to him.
"You said I was hot, right?" She asked back. "Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't consider you at least a little bit attractive."
Gigan's eyebrows raised. His sly smirk grew wider. "You know, I'm staying in a hotel not far from here." He crooned. Biolante's eyelids lowered, and she stood up placing a hand on her hip. "Lead the way." She said.
Gigan stood up as well. He knew that tonight was gonna be a good night. As they walked through the door, Hedorah caught up with them.
"Where are you going?" He asked. "And who's this?"
"This is Biolante." Gigan explained.
"Pleased to meet you." Biolante said.
"We're going back to the hotel, so... you know." Gigan said. "Don't wait up."
Hedorah tried to reply, but found no words. Not only had Gigan found Biolante with no effort, not only had he hit it off with her, but he was now kicking Hedorah out of their shared hotel room to do god knows what to her. He couldn't voice his concerns, as Gigan and Biolante had already left. He groaned loudly.
"Screw it. I'm getting a drink." He muttered.
