Fallen World: Wrath of Shin Godzilla

Catalyst of Extinction

A lithe, pink appendage burst forth from the void's opening and yanked Shin Gojira's dying body. The M.U.T.O. moved in pursuit merely to discover something far larger than itself.

The mature Skullcrawler swallowed Shin Gojira in several, quick, successive gulps, and his jaws unhinged to stuff the large organism into his digestive tract. The creature's eyes closed at it relished the meal; his stomach truly sated for the first time in decades, even if only temporary. But as its eyes opened, the creature focused on its dessert.

The Skullcrawler's maw snapped wildly as it pursued the Male M.U.T.O. No matter how agile the parasite moved, the underground reptile kept on its heels. Never letting it out of its sight as the creature retreated to the surface's opening. The Male slammed against the chasm, pulling itself up just as the Skullcrawler's two appendages struck into the wall. The beast shook from the impact, screeching with frustration before it looked upward. Drool fell from its maw as light shined upon the creature. Slowly, its appetite rivaled its courage and the beast began to climb the icy walls.

A harsh wind greeted the M.U.T.O. as it reached the surface. To its left, the human facility lay in ruin and behind him the parasite heard the Skullcrawler's advances. The creature's wings flexed in preparation to flee, but slowly they folded. With its head hung low, the parasite walked through the snow and trees to the shoreline in the distance.

For minutes the Male walked, ignoring the shaking ground beneath its claws. The wind battered its form, the cold chilled its flesh, and its mind fell into emptiness. Ice suddenly cracked underneath the parasite, stopping its movements and awakening it. The creature's narrow eyes gazed upon the crashing waves. Slowly its head turned, spotting the Skullcrawler as it charged to his position. Gradually, the M.U.T.O. faced the incoming creature and slammed its front right claw into the ice, stopping the approaching beast in its tracks.

The Male let loose a deep breath then faced the malicious serpentine reptile that wished to consume him. Its tail flexed, its body tightened in anticipation to attack the M.U.T.O. but the parasite was ready. The Male's wings ascended into the air and a deep screech echoed from the parasite's jaws. No longer would he flee, scavenge or just survive. If the world wished for its demise, to destroy all trace of its kind, then he would answer its resolve in blood!

The Skullcrawler charged, launching snow high into the air as it dove head long toward its prey. The ice cracked as the reptile made its way off the frozen beach, its jaws parted to snatch the creature, yet the world intervened. The M.U.T.O. jettisoned into the air at the last second, parting the snow beneath him to reveal a dark mass. As the Skullcrawler crossed over the spot, something else broke through the ice enveloping both in freezing water.

Massive sheets of ice crashed to the sea floor while blood darkened the local waters. A monstrous form continued through the falling water, revealing jagged, spines. As the behemoth walked to the frozen beach, the dozen meter thick ice shattered which each of the creature's footsteps. As the water finally cleared from the air, an injured Skullcrawler crawled to shore as Godzilla made landfall.

The M.U.T.O. watched from above as the Alpha and the Skullcrawler moved to engage the other. In a world full of giants far more powerful than him, he could never defeat them alone. But divided, he possessed a chance.

The Skullcrawler lunged with fury, clamping onto Godzilla's neck while its tail encircled the behemoth's right leg. Godzilla snarled with rage, embedding his razor-sharp claws into the reptile's face. Blood flowed from Godzilla's claws across the reptile's left eye, but the Skullcrawler chomped down upon the ancient behemoth's resistant hide. No matter how sharp, long or the pressure used; the skull-faced crawler couldn't penetrate the legendary creature's unbelievably thick skin.
