Godzilla VS Tahu (Wattys 2017)

Chapter 12: One on Three

Ghidorah laughed maniacally as his lasers tore the city apart. Buildings and structures crumbled before him.
"I've never felt power like this before." Ghidorah laughed.
"Neither have I." Makuta added. "I may have given you these new powers, but I did not expect you to amplify them to such a degree."
"All I need to do now is test them on a living subject." Ghidorah said, clenching his fists. He saw a figure flying in his direction. She was far away, but she was definitely heading towards him. Ghidorah didn't recognize her, but grinned as he saw her.  
"She'll do for now." He said. He fired a purple beam at the figure, who was actually 3DS. She dodged out of the way, but just barely.
"Those two better show up soon." She muttered through clenched teeth. She continued to fly towards Ghidorah, but her flight would end soon. While her flight abilities allowed her to soar through the sky, she was limited to only 5 minutes of flight at a time. And she had 30 seconds left. She used the last of her time flying to soar full speed at Ghidorah, foot first. The kick connected with Ghidorah's arm, but he deflected the hit and stuck back, knocking 3DS into the ground. She hissed in pain and tried to get up.
"Dammit..." She coughed. She looked up to see Godzilla running towards her. He helped her up out of the crater she had formed in the ground.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." 3DS said, brushing herself off. The two looked at Ghidorah, who was flying towards another part of the city. They took off after him.
"Where's Tahu?" 3DS asked.
"He's helping evacuate the city." Godzilla said. "Tokyo's almost empty now."
"Good." 3DS nodded. She activated the heads-up display on her glasses, which showed that her flight mode was only 10% charged. She groaned and rolled her eyes.
"How're we gonna get up to him?" She asked.
Godzilla didn't know either. He thought for a moment before he came up with an idea.
"How much do you weigh?" He asked. 3DS stopped and raised her eyebrow.
"Excuse me?" She asked. Before she could say anything else, she realized what he was planning. She smirked and nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm pretty light." She said. Without any more warning, Godzilla picked her up, lifted her over his shoulder, and threw her straight at Ghidorah. She managed to grab onto him as they made contact. Ghidorah had no idea what was going on, and began to fall. He and 3DS landed on top of a nearby building. Godzilla grinned, happy that his plan had worked. He ran towards the building. As he ran, Tahu suddenly landed next to him and ran alongside him.
"How many people are still in the city?" Godzilla asked.
"I think we got everyone." Tahu said.
Godzilla nodded. The two ran up the stairwell of the building, finally making it to the top. They appeared just in time to see Ghidorah struggling with 3DS. Eventually, he backhanded her, sending her to the ground.
"Enough of this!" He growled. He looked up and saw Godzilla and Tahu, and his eyes narrowed. He chuckled evilly.
"Finally, a worthy test of my new strength." He hissed. He held out his hands, and two massive blades appeared in his grip. They resembled giant katanas, but much wider.
"If it's a fight you want, then come at me!" Ghidorah challenged.
Godzilla was about to step foreword, but Tahu rushed ahead of him.
"Tahu wait!" Godzilla shouted. But his words fell on deaf ears. Tahu ran towards Ghidorah, only to be met by a blast of purple energy. He was sent backwards and fell to the ground as Ghidorah laughed.
"This won't even be a challenge!" He said. "Usually the people I fight pose a threat. I see this is not the case with you, Tahu."
Tahu gritted his teeth as he got himself back up.
"We can't defeat him on our own." Godzilla said. "All three of us need to work together."
3DS stood near them as well. "Good thinking. What's the plan?"
"All I need to do is get the mask away from him and he'll lose all his powers." Tahu said. "But I won't be able to get close enough."
"I know how Ghidorah fights. Plus, I'm more durable than both of you." Godzilla added. "I'll weaken him, but he'll still be on guard when it comes to the mask."
"I'm faster. I can distract him." 3DS suggested. Godzilla nodded.
"Then I can take off the mask." Tahu said. Again, Godzilla and 3DS both nodded.
"Alright, let's do this!" Godzilla said. He and Tahu rushed foreword, while 3DS flew over Ghidorah's head. He looked up at her, firing a purple beam of energy up at her. She dodged out of the way and landed behind him, giving Godzilla ample time to attack him, slashing at his back with an atomic blast. Before Ghidorah could react, Tahu did the same, shooting him with a fireball. Ghidorah roared in anger and turned around.
"Fools! You dare challenge me!?" He shouted, charging up two balls of electricity in his hands. Godzilla stood his ground, while Tahu ran behind Ghidorah. This distracted him long enough for Godzilla to attack again. 3DS swooped in from behind, kicking Ghidorah in the back of the head. Her flying ability had ran out now, and she landed on the roof in a kneeling position, smirking at Ghidorah smugly. While he was distracted, Godzilla and Tahu both attacked him at once, slashing at him from both sides in an X formation. While he recovered, Tahu saw an opening.
"I'm gonna try to grab the mask!" He said. Godzilla's eyes widened.
"No, not yet!" Godzilla insisted. But again, it was too late. Tahu ran in, and managed to grab the side of the Mask of Control. Before he could pull, Ghidorah grabbed him by the throat and slammed him onto the ground.
"You're persistent, for a whelp." He hissed. He then picked him up again, and flung him off the side of the roof. Godzilla's instincts took over and he dove down to grab him. He was a second too late, and missed Tahu by less than an inch. Luckily, 3DS grabbed him before he fell, and managed to lift him up to the roof again, though she struggled to do so.
"Your armour is really heavy." She panted as she landed back on the roof.
"Thanks anyway." Tahu said. The three turned back to Ghidorah. They knew their plan wouldn't work now.
"Dammit." Tahu muttered. "Why do I have to ruin everything?"
"Don't beat yourself up." Godzilla assured. "I still have one idea left."
Before either Tahu or 3DS could ask what this was, Godzilla ran at Ghidorah head on. However, he actually ran past Ghidorah, and jumped off the edge of the roof. Tahu raised an eyebrow as he watched Godzilla run across rooftops, away from the battle.
"His idea is running away?" He asked.
"He'll be back, I'm sure." 3DS said. "Until then, we need to hold Ghidorah off."
