What Doesn't Kill You

A False King

Robin couldn't move, he couldn't breathe, all he could think was that Godzilla was gone, he felt his legs give out and tears fell from his eyes. Batman caught him before he hit the ground and he clearly had no idea what he should do. Serizawa looked at Mark, "Looks like you got your wish, Mark."

Mark was silent, everyone was, Robin just silently cried and the team saw it but even they didn't know what to do. Robin eventually got up and left the room, he just wanted to be left alone and he wouldn't get that if he stayed. He found a quiet place on the ship and just sat there, Godzilla was dead and he couldn't stop it.

They were starting to become friends, he'd seen sides of Godzilla that the others hadn't from him trying to get a remote to work to freeing a dolphin from loose netting. He learned things about him no one else knew, and Godzilla probably died hating him. Hours passed and Robin had spent most of it crying, the rest of it he just thought, he eventually managed to make himself get up and find the others.

He ended up in the control room just before Serizawa walked in with several other close behind, including the other heroes. Serizawa spoke, "This Oxygen Destroyer, why wasn't Monster Zero affected?"

Barnes spoke, "I mean, I'm no scientist but I think it had something to do with his goddamn head growing back."

Stanton spoke, "I've never seen anything like it, violates everything we know about the natural order."

Chen turned around in her chair to look at them, "Unless he's not part of the natural order."

Serizawa looked at her, "What do you mean?"

Chen looked at her screen, "I was able to piece this together."

Something popped up on the largest monitor and Robin recognized Godzilla and Ghidora, Sam spoke, "Well, he looks vaguely familiar."

Chen spoke, "It tells of a great dragon who fell from the stars, a Hydra, whose storms swallowed both men and gods alike."

Mark looked at her, "You mean an alien?"

Chen nodded, "Yes, he's not part of our natural order, and he's not meant to be here."

Serizawa glared at the image of the dragon, "A false king."

Stanton spoke, "An invasive species, that could explain how he's creating these massive storms and the effect he's having on the other Titans. It's almost like he's reshaping the planet to his own liking.

Serizawa looked at Chen again, "These legends, what did they call him?"

"Ghidorah, the One Who is Many."

Mark looked confused, "Gi-what?"

Sam looked at Mark, "Did she seriously say gonorrhea?"

Chen looked at Sam, "Ghidorah!"

Foster spoke, "Dr. Serizawa, we're approaching Castle Bravo, but there's something you should see."

They all looked out the window to see a fleet of ships and helicopters surrounding the base. Mark spoke, "I'm guessing you weren't expecting these guys."

Robin felt a bit mad now, if these were the same guys that launched that missile he might just punch someone. They headed inside and were brought to a meeting room where they were shown live footage of the newly awakened titans. Stenz stood in front of them, "Moscow, London, Washington D.C, all under attack."

"On every continent, the Titans are triggering earthquakes, wildfires, tsunamis and disasters we don't even have names for yet. Now, as before, we have been trying to lure the creatures with nuclear materials, but they are not taking the bait this time. Their behavior has become random, erratic, and with our forces spread desperately thin and these things roaming the globe unimpeded, we are running out of options, and time."
