Godzilla Against All: Part 4

Chapter 24: Creation

October, 2019

Unnamed Pacific Island

Eons ago, when the planet was still young, life still fresh, a being from another world crashed here. Where it came from, none know, some say it was banished from its home, others that it is the last of its kind, some even believe it to be a god in physical form. Whatever the truth is does not matter, what matters is what came after.

This being, which many took to calling 'the Saint' was imbued with incredible power, the power to create life. And create life is just what the Saint did, crafting a creature of incredible power, a creature now known as the MUTO.

It created numerous forms and variations, species of all shapes and sizes, and populated the planet with them. For ages, the Saint worked alongside the first MUTO it had created to bring amazing and fantastic forms of life to the Earth. This would not last. The Saint soon witnessed that the planet had been hard at work creating its own lifeforms alongside the MUTOs. It saw beauty in them, but also realized that the MUTOs were far too powerful, and that Earth's own creatures could not reach their full potential because of that. Ultimately, the Saint decided that the planet's natural life deserved a chance to flourish, so it chose to seal the MUTOs away.

Unfortunately, not everyone saw the world as the Saint did. Led by its own partner, that first MUTO it had created, many of the MUTOs rebelled against the Saint. But its power was not so easily overthrown. The Saint destroyed all MUTOs who dared fight against it. It created a new MUTO, the first one in millions of years, and the last it would ever make, with a single purpose, to kill and destroy the rebels.

Eventually all that remained of the rebellion was the first MUTO, who had orchestrated it all. The Saint had imbued this MUTO with almost all of its own power, something it had only done once, in fear of what that power could bring. All subsequent MUTOs were much weaker than the Saint, but the first one retained the power to fight on even ground with it. Only the Saint and the last MUTO fighting side-by-side were ultimately able to defeat the first MUTO, sealing it away forever.

With the war over, the Saint put the world's remaining MUTOs into a deep sleep, far below the planet's surface. In fear of hostile external forces, such as the invasion of the Ghidrah that had taken place millions of years earlier, the Saint decided to leave three MUTOs awake as guardians. Mothra, to bring peace and harmony. Battra, to bring balance and order. And Godzilla, to bring chaos and decay.

As its final act, the Saint sealed itself and the last MUTO away, so that its power of creation could do no harm and so the last MUTOs unrivaled ability to destroy could no longer do so.

Solomon finishes his short monologue and then stares expectantly at Mothra, Battra and Godzilla.

"I have a near infallible sense of when someone is speaking the truth..." Mothra begins.

"I'm not lying to you," Solomon replies.

"I know you're not, that's what shocks me."

"Wait," Battra says, "So everything he just said is true? We were all created as some sort of science experiment?"

"If you want to look at it that way, yes," the blue creature replies, "but is there really anything wrong with that when you think about it? Does it change anything?"

Battra grumbles, "No, I guess not."

Godzilla makes a series of harsh cawing sounds.

"Right," Mothra says, "he can't speak to you directly, he can only use psychic communication, but Gojira brought up a good point. You said you were here to save us... Save us from what exactly?"
