Godzilla VS Tahu (Wattys 2017)

Chapter 5: Second Contact

"There you are." Godzilla said as Mothra appeared and sat next to him. She was holding a box of Pocky, which was Mothra's favourite snack food.
"Did anything happen while I was gone?" She asked as she began digging into the box.
"Not much." Godzilla shrugged. "But I did see you brought a book about the Toa with you."
Mothra remembered the book and reached into her purse, pulling out the book. "Yeah. I bought it at the museum. I don't know why, but it's really interesting." She said. She opened up the book and flipped open to a page about the Toa themselves. She held the book up to Godzilla.
"It says here there were six Toa at first." She explained. "Recently, archeologists have even uncovered what their names were."
Godzilla nodded. He wasn't really looking at the book. He honestly wasn't too interested in the whole concept of the Toa. However, Mothra kept reading, and he didn't want to appear rude.
"Their names were Kopaka, the master of ice, Lewa, the master of jungle, Onua, the master of earth, Pohatu, the master of stone, Gali, the master of water..." Mothra stopped for a moment. Her eyebrows raised slightly. She had heard the name before. It was the name of the girl she had met before. She thought it was just a coincidence, and continued reading. "And the last one was Tahu, the master of fire."
Godzilla experienced the same thing Mothra experienced. He remembered the name Tahu.
"I know that name." He said. "I met someone named Tahu earlier today. He's on the train right now."
"Really?" Mothra asked. "I met someone named Gali on the train just a few minutes ago."
"You don't think... never mind." Godzilla shook his head. Whatever idea he was thinking, he thought it was ridiculous.
"What is it?" Mothra asked.
"I just thought maybe the people we met might actual be the Toa." Godzilla said. "But that's ridiculous, right? It's probably just a coincidence."
Mothra nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure it is." She said. "I'm sure they're common names."
Godzilla nodded as well, but he wasn't completely convinced himself. As he thought about this, something poked him in the cheek. It was Mothra, offering him a stick of Pocky.
"Did you want one?" She asked. Godzilla smiled and chuckled.
"Sure, thanks." He said as he accepted it from her.

Baragon glared at Anguirus as he snored loudly. He had fallen asleep a few minutes ago, and immediately began snoring. Any attempts to wake him were unsuccessful. Eventually, Baragon got fed up and elbowed Anguirus in the arm. This managed to wake him.
"Huh? What the hell was that for?" Anguirus asked, rubbing his eyes.
"You were snoring. Really loud." Baragon explained.
"Oh. Sorry." Anguirus apologized. He looked around the train car, and saw something as his eyes passed the door. He could have sworn he saw a glimpse of silver hair. His eyes widened. There was only one person he knew who had silver hair.
"Hold on a sec. I'll be right back." Anguirus said. Baragon nodded as he watched him get up and leave the car. As he did, he heard a thunk, as if something hit the ground. He looked towards the source of the sound, and saw what caused it. It was a dark grey metal boomerang. Baragon guessed it had fallen on the ground. As soon as he saw it, a hand reached down and grabbed it. Baragon looked up to the hand's owner. He was somewhat tall, and had tan skin, with brown hair tied in a ponytail. Baragon narrowed his eyes as the owner of the boomerang began to walk away.
"Wait, what was that?" Baragon asked. The boomerang's owner stopped and turned around.
"What was what?" He asked.
"That boomerang." Baragon said. He watched as the person stuffed the boomerang into a holster on his belt. Baragons' eyes narrowed again. "It looked like a weapon."
"Well it's not." The person replied. Baragon could tell he was lying.
"You're not planning anything, are you?" He asked. "Who are you anyway?"
"My name is Pohatu. And you should mind your own business." The boomerang's owner replied. With that, he simply walked back down the aisle. Baragon raised an eyebrow. He guessed he would see more of Pohatu in the future.

Anguirus was right. The silver hair he had seen before belonged to Gigan. He was most likely trying to steal the Mask of Control again. Not wanting to start a scene, he didn't chase Gigan down. Rather, he began silently following him. Anguirus obviously knew where the mask was, and Gigan was beginning to head towards it. Eventually, they made their way into an area where nobody else was. This meant Anguirus would have a harder time hiding, but he still managed. Finally, he decided enough was enough, and stepped into view.
"Hey Gigan!" He called. "Ghidorah really wants that mask, huh?"
This alerted Gigan, who began running. He actually ran towards Anguirus and slipped past him. Anguirus wasn't fast enough to catch him, and instead began chasing him down again. Now it was hard to hide that fact from the others on the train. Finally, Gigan made it to the exit of one of the cars, and stepped outside on the cars balcony. Anguirus attempted to follow him, but the door was locked. He watched as Gigan climbed up onto the roof of the train.
"Dammit." Anguirus muttered. "I gotta warn Godzilla." He turned and ran back to find Godzilla, but was stopped when he accidentally ran into a large figure. He seemed confused,
"Who was that?" The figure asked.
"He's trying to steal something, so I need to stop him." Anguirus briefly explained as he ran around the figure. What Anguirus didn't know was that this was actually Onua. His eyes widened as he heard what Anguirus said.
"Steal something? That's not good." He said. "He must be after the mask. I'll have to warn the others."

"Wait, so Gigan's on this train?" Godzilla asked.
"Yeah, and he's trying to steal the mask!" Anguirus replied.
"We gotta stop him." Mothra said. Godzilla nodded.
"Go find the others and meet me at the end of the train." He ordered. Mothra and Anguirus nodded, and took off in separate directions. Godzilla left to find the end of the train. Unknowingly, he passed by the Toa, who were having a conversation of their own.
"Someone's trying to steal the Mask of Control?" Tahu asked.
"That's what someone said." Onua nodded. "He seemed to know what he was talking about."
"Did you see the one who was trying to steal it?" Tahu asked. He guessed it might have been Godzilla.
"I didn't see him." Onua said. "I think he was wearing a long jacket, but I'm not sure." Tahu's eyes narrowed. He knew Godzilla wore a long jacket, so the evidence pointed to him. Still, he didn't want to jump to conclusions.
"Lewa's already out there, but he won't be able to handle them himself." Pohatu added.
"Well then let's get out there!" Tahu said. The other Toa agreed, and they all ran to the end of the train.
