Chapter 20 - Legacy of Destinies part 2

In the Void dimension, the fight had just taken a different turn with the unexpected arrival of the spirit of King Ghidorah. The three-headed dragon, escaped from hell, now attacked the demon Chernabog, refusing to see him take the power he considered his own. Around the two giant entities, the storm was getting stronger, the winds increasing in violence, yellow lightning exploding everywhere and swirls of water starting to rise everywhere. Chernabog spat torrents of hellfire from his jaw and hands which collided with Ghidorah's lightning rays in an apocalyptic explosion. Both moved back because of the shock wave, but the two entities continued to face each other.

_"I should have anticipated that you would cause me problems, damn dragon!" roared Chernabog. "I will devour your spirit, as I did with Hades, and your power will be mine!"

Ghidorah's spirit roared in fury, but Chernabog smiled cruelly and used his demonic power to once again summon a legion of his shadow demons which he immediately sent to attack the dragon, who then found himself besieged on all sides and having to defend himself by spitting lightning everywhere against an armada of demons who kept appearing endlessly from multiple infernal pentagrams.

_"I'll take care of you later, Ghidorah." growled Chernabog, who then turned his attention to his priority target. "I wouldn't want to keep my special guest waiting."

Jia couldn't hold back her fear as she saw the demon look her straight in the eyes and move confidently towards her. Anna and Moana, both ready, stood together and stood before Jia to protect her. Chernabog then regained human size while walking, then emitted a sadistic and self-confident laugh when he saw the two fairies facing him.

_"This child will never belong to you!" Moana proclaimed forcefully.

_"Really? Don't you see that all of it is futile?" he told them condescendingly. "I have defeated countless deities over the centuries. I have devoured the god of death and the god of the underworld. What chance do you think you have against me, seriously ?!Hand over this child to me without discussion, it will save you from unnecessary suffering."

_"Your words have no value for us, demon." Anna retorted firmly, holding her flame sword in hand. "You have broken your pact with the gods, the very fabric of the existence is in peril because of your actions. Do not expect any surrender from us."

Moana said nothing but her gaze showed the same resolve as Anna. The daughter of Motunui then summoned a spear and a tribal shield in her hands for confrontation and signaled Jia to step back. Chernabog smiled with all his yellow, carnivorous teeth, as if expecting and hoping for such a response from them. From the very black flesh of his arms emerged two veined blades which he ignited with his vile magic.

_"Hmm... I still have a little time to have fun." commented the demon. "And to feast on a few more souls!"

Chernabog then rushed at superhuman speed but Anna and Moana had time to react in unison and together put a barrier. The sword and spear collided with the demon's black blades in a violent clash. Standing back, Jia was scared, not knowing what to do. Surrounded by all this chaos, these negative energies which poisoned the air, seeing all these super-powerful beings in full confrontation... She felt so small, so fragile, so incapable... I am only a mortal, what can -I do? She kept telling herself this while falling to her knees and holding her head in tears, internally begging for everything to stop.

Anna jumped back, summoning a giant flame phoenix which she threw at Chernabog. At the same time, Moana firmly placed her hands on the ground to unleash a violent and powerful wave. But the demon showed no concern at these attacks and swept them away effortlessly with a wave of infernal energy that he let explode from his body.

_"The old harpy has trained you well, my little fairies." Chernabog sadistically mocked, daring to insult the Fairy Godmother. "Finally, everything has come together, here and now, to put an end to this ridiculous story. I have waited an infinity of lives to arrive at this moment, and it is not you who will prevent me from obtaining my reward! This time, those idiots of Te Fiti and Lucanger are no longer there to stop me! All of you here will witness the birth of a new empire!"

_"NEVER!" Anna shouted forcefully as she launched into the attack and delivered a sideways blow with her flaming sword, which Chernabog blocked again with one of his dark blades.

_"Ah, Anna..." commented Chernabog, towering over her with his stature. "Formerly princess and queen of Arendelle... Tell me how does it feel to know that your dear daughter was killed by the anarchists and that your precious kingdom collapsed with her without you being able to do anything about it? And here we are. History will repeat itself again, and there's nothing you can do to save Elsa!"

Although it was painful to hear these atrocities, Anna refused to be swayed by the demon's perfidy and stared defiantly as she fought.

_"I have always believed in Elsa, just as she has never stopped believing in me! She and Godzilla will destroy your abomination! As for you, you will return to the nothingness from which you should never have emerged!"

Despite the demon's cruel sneers, Anna did not let go and continued to defend and attack, although her phoenix flames did not seem to have any effect. Moana joined the fight alongside her friend, her spear striking against one of the demonic blades.

_"And you, daughter of Motunui?" Chernabog proclaimed fiercely as he fixed his eye on her. "You who let all your people and your archipelago disappear beneath the waves?! Where was your precious power of the ocean at that moment, huh?! And you pretend fighting to protect life, how hypocrit! You have so much blood on your hands as I do ! You are in no way saviors!"

While defending themselves from the violent blows of their enemy, Anna and Moana felt the poisonous and overwhelming influence of Chernabog attempting to infiltrate their minds to weaken them mentally, make them doubt themselves, and torture them with their own pasts. But the two fairies resisted with all their strength, not wanting to deliver their spirits to the demon.

However, Jia, unable to look away from Chernabog in terror, was also assailed by painful visions of her past. The storm that had ravaged Skull Island and decimated the tribe... the huts, the animals and the inhabitants, all swept away and carried away like straw... her parents trying in vain to take her far from the village to save her, having just time to put it up on a rock but they too found themselves struck and carried away by a powerful gust which made them disappear in the chaos... Then, in the middle of all this, Jia was struck by a truth. .. That fateful day, there was this winged, dark, horned shape high in the sky, in the middle of this storm as if it were its origin... She remembered now! Chernabog! He was there that day, it was he who had wiped out her tribe, had stolen her origins! This resurfacing memory was like a dagger in the heart of poor Jia who was only more bruised. Suddenly, a bad blow threw Moana backwards and she rolled not far from Jia who then reacted and came to join her. Anna was still struggling with the demon but seemed to be in more and more difficulty.

_"He's too strong..." breathed Moana, running her hand over her face. "He feeds on the chaos that his abomination Destoroyah creates."

Then, Anna took one blow too many and was thrown backwards too, rolling on the ground. Now free of the two nuisances, Chernabog continued walking until she stood in front of Jia who was paralyzed by the simple presence of the demon so close to her. Moana tried to get up to fight back, but the demon effortlessly disarmed her and held her down with his foot on her, pinning her. Chernabog smiled like a sadist, slowly raising his blade to finish Moana and enjoying an unhealthy pleasure in seeing her struggle in vain.

_"You have been entertaining adversaries, I grant you, but everything must end." the demon growled. "And don't worry, I will take good care of young Jia."

_"Moana, no!" Anna screamed in pain, trying in vain to get up but having been weakened by the blow.

Moana gritted her teeth, seeing the end above her, but her desperate gaze met Jia's. She, in a mute scream, was suddenly overcome by an emotion that surpassed all others and seized her in her entire being: the desire to save a life! Suddenly, once again, Jia was invaded by visions, but this time reassuring, happy... She saw the faces of people dear to her heart... Kong... Elsa and Godzilla... her adoptive family, the Possibles... well sure, her two biological parents... They all looked at her, smiling at her, like reflections in water... She loved them all, she wanted to do so much more for them... Then, in the middle of all these transparent faces, a blinding and powerful white light gradually appeared, like a sun born, and a feminine and ethereal voice, that of Te Fiti, spoke...

_"Fight for life, young Jia! Receive my blessing and embrace your destiny!"

Jia then felt this overwhelming but caring presence embrace her in an invisible but very real embrace, a warmth awakening within her and the white light bursting in a flash that immediately brought her back to reality. As if carried by a new hope, Jia freed herself from the fear that paralyzed her and rushed forward, and with her thin hand grabbed Chernabog's wrist as if to try to stop his gesture. But something else happened.

Immediately the demon began to scream in pain, dropping its blade and quickly stepping back, allowing Moana to free herself. She and Anna then noticed with astonishment what was happening, seeing Chernabog holding his smoking wrist in pain, as if it had been badly burned. Attention then turned to Jia who also seemed most confused, but showed a change in herself. From her hand which had touched the demon, fine luminous veinlets began to run along her arm. Jia was in pain, but also felt this reassuring warmth inside her.

_"No..." Chernabog grunted when he saw this. "No, not now! I was almost done! She was mine!"

Soon, the thin, glowing white veins ran along both of Jia's hands and arms, and an equally bright energy began to encircle her as if to protect her. Anna and Moana watched this with fascination but also a renewed sense of hope. They clearly felt this power emanating from the young girl. A unique power of its kind and coming from an equally exceptional entity.

_"It's incredible... I feel it inside her... Te Fiti..." Anna breathed in amazement.

_"Yes..." replied Moana with an emotional smile. "It is indeed her, as the water showed me a long time ago... She is Jia, the Titan of Life."

Surrounded by this veil of light which parted the water around her, Jia slowly stood up and opened her eyes, which were also luminescent then returned to normal while this new power seemed to stabilize little by little within her. She felt much stronger than before, more alive and above all the visceral fear she felt towards the demon was lessening. This power, this warmth was familiar to her and she remembered now... The day she saved Kong's life and brought him back to life when Godzilla and Elsa were in trouble against the Mechagodzilla... That was it! Te Fiti had come to her aid that day, and today, she gave her this gift! She was ready to take on the role!

Jia was then joined by Moana and Anna and all three stood together. Recovering from the burn on his arm, Chernabog released an even more hellish and murderous aura from his being, black flame-like energy beginning to cover him and his eyes glowing with uncommon rage. Roaring in fury, Chernabog let all that darkness explode from him and summoned a blade much larger and veined than the ones before and threatened the three girls with it as he raised the blade towards them. With the fire and water, Anna and Moana protected Jia from the explosion of the burning shadow flame.

_"You stole this victory from me! I was so close to succeeding..." Chernabog growled, huffing with hatred. "No...I refuse to accept this! I'm not just going to kill you! I'm going to take you to hell and torture you for eternity!"

Blinded by his own rage and no longer thinking at all, Chernabog raised his blade and struck the ground with it, causing a powerful earthquake and the very air to be torn apart. On the ground not far away, the ground ripped open and collapsed, opening a gigantic vortex from which infernal heat and flames exploded, spinning at supernatural speed and beginning to suck in everything with force. Moana, Jia and Anna contemplated this vision with shock and horror. Chernabog had done it! He had opened a passage to hell!

***********

_"It's you, you were with Godzilla, near this river..." Elsa breathed, mentioning the vision seen earlier. "But... what do you want from me? We don't know each other."

_"Oh but on the contrary I know you well, Elsa." Sisu retorted with a smile. "I never stopped seeing you and Godzilla as you protected this world and strengthened your bond together. I brought you here, Elsa, for a most crucial reason. First of all, you should know that I was the titan of balance before you."

Elsa remained confused by this revelation then saw the dragon Sisu become even more glowing, invoking this ancestral magic with which she was imbued and used it to activate a dormant power in the ice which made up this buried temple, and new ones, in the columns and the walls, other unknown visions took shape like flashes of a much more distant past. Sisu stepped aside and let Elsa approach one of these moving frescoes, which then showed Godzilla, much younger and smaller than he was now, and standing on the edge of this same river and meeting Sisu.

_"At the beginning of time, in the Hollow Earth, the mother of all things Te Fiti had just created the four primordial titans." Sisu said. "Godzilla was the most powerful of them all, destined to rule them as king. But despite his power, Godzilla was also lonely, failing to fill a void that remained in his heart. But one day he made my meeting and immediately something awakened in both of us. Over time, our simple friendship turned into a true and very powerful love, giving birth to a unique bond. For the first time in his existence, Godzilla no longer felt alone. At that time, Te Fiti was unable to maintain a stable balance between her four titans, but seeing the peace that I brought to Godzilla, she decided to bless me, making me the fifth primordial titan, the one who would bring balance between the four first."

The vision then showed Godzilla and Sisu, swimming together in the waters of the river, then both coming to dry off on the fine sand bank, the two monsters embracing each other. Elsa did not feel jealous when she saw this, on the contrary, she smiled to see her king who in the past had been able to experience a little happiness. But suddenly the vision changed and became much darker, disturbing and tinged with a menacing red.

_"But unfortunately, these happy days didn't lasted." continued Sisu, her voice becoming sad. "One day, an entity driven by madness and chaos emerged from the abyssal depths of the Hollow Earth: Destoroyah. No communication was possible, this thing lived only to destroy. Destoroyah committed immeasurable devastation in the Hollow Earth, millions of lives were destroyed. Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and Kong, as protectors, joined forces to confront him, but despite their combined efforts, Destoroyah remained indestructible and unstoppable. So my people, the dragons, joined the fight to help the titans. But that's still not enough. Many of my people lost their lives to this abomination... including me."

Elsa was shocked to hear this, but actually saw in the horror vision, this land on fire and devastated, hundreds of dragon bodies lying on the ground. Kong, Mothra and Rodan were very badly injured, on the ground and unable to get back up. Godzilla was also on the ground, exhausted and half buried under the rubble of a cliff. And Sisu, mortally wounded, was finished off by the hand of Destoroyah without the slightest mercy before Godzilla's eyes. The latter, driven berserk, roared with unparalleled rage and then began to absorb into his body all the raw, radioactive and blue energy that flowed into the earth itself. Seeing Godzilla like this, helplessly holding Sisu's body in his arms, made Elsa's tears flow and she covered her mouth in fear as she saw Godzilla's eyes scowl and begin to glow with a glint of ultimate rage, the king of the monsters roaring with all his might and beginning to absorb and devour radiations from the very heart of the Hollow Earth, becoming more and more unstable to the point of making the earth shake and causing faults and volcanic explosions a little everywhere in the surrounding area.

_"My death broke something in Godzilla, to the point of giving birth to an unquenchable fury in him." Sisu said darkly. "Carried away by his thirst for revenge, he fed on the power of the Hollow Earth to the point of making himself permanently unstable. With this new power, he finally managed to stop and weaken Destoroyah long enough to manage to seal the abomination in an eternal prison. The world was saved, but Godzilla's heart was lost. Deprived of the only soul capable of loving him, Godzilla sank into solitude and anger for millennia, rejoining the world from the surface to reign alone... Although he had become the king and protector of the earth, Godzilla was falling deeper and deeper into hatred, and I knew that without a way to channel this eternal rage within him, his power would risk becoming a danger to all. the whole world... Until the day he met a being worthy of becoming the new titan of balance..."

With these last words, Sisu turned her gaze to Elsa. She, having listened to Sisu's story, then remembered a prophecy that she had heard a long time ago, from Maleficent, saying that Godzilla was the one who would trigger the end of times and would be the last one standing in the ashes. At first, Elsa had only seen it as nefarious manipulation on the part of the witch, but what if...

_"So... there was some truth in what Maleficent said..." Elsa breathed.

_"Yes, but as long as you are by his side, the world will be safe." Sisu replied to reassure her. "You and Godzilla are one, two sides of the same coin, both united and opposite. Beauty and ferocity. Righteousness and judgment. Benevolence and might. Light and darkness."

With these words, a structure made of water and ice was created by the magic of Sisu's mind, floating in the air and forming a perfect union of Elsa and Godzilla as a single and powerful symbol, one that allowed this world to continue to live. Elsa placed her hand on her heart, feeling all the sincerity of the bond she shared with Godzilla reacting within her like a powerful shudder. He must have felt it too, that was certain. Elsa then thought of him, worried a lot and turned to Sisu.

_"Lady Sisu, I..."

_"Don't say anything, I guessed and I agree." replied the female dragon kindly. "It is time for you to return to your king because a difficult fight awaits you. And for everything you have done for him and for this world, Elsa, you have my blessing and give you my strength. I know that you will make good use of it."

With these words, Sisu's spirit changed into a miriad of glowing and floating magical sparks which gradually came to invest Elsa's body, who let it happen and immediately felt her own magic strengthen as well as her titan nature.

_"Farewell, Elsa. From now on, I will live forever through your magic..." whispered the ethereal voice of Sisu. "And say to Godzilla... that I always loved him."

_"I... I will... thank you Sisu..." Elsa replied with her throat tight with emotion.

Once fully invested with the strength of the water dragon, Elsa contemplated her shiny hands and letting emanate this new power which now flowed through her entire being. The entire shrine began to glow, and then all of Ahtohallan lit up, awakening its long-dormant ancestral magic and lending a large amount of power to Elsa who felt it investing her being and strengthening her own powers. Managing to channel all this magic within her, Elsa suddenly opened her eyes, blue and bright, and little by little invoked a spell, surrounding herself with a blizzard swirling ever stronger, triggering a real storm within the sanctuary.

Little by little, Elsa's body was covered with magical ice, increasingly thick and gradually forming the beginning of a thin and giant body, then arms, legs, a long neck then a reptilian head with blue eyes and sporting a crown of horns. Now measuring almost 50 meters high and 90 meters long, Elsa, having taken her ice dragon form, stood up with a powerful roar and displayed majestic wings with a span of almost 100 meters and composed of multitudes of translucent feathers. In the middle of the dragon's forehead, a blue crystalline gem encrusted in its icy flesh materialized. The gem was also composed of moving water within it and glowed even brighter than a thousand sapphires. While roaring and spitting a torrent of frost from her giant jaws, Elsa let Ahtohallan's magic further strengthen her.

_"Godzilla..." she thought forcefully. "I'm coming my love!"

Using the momentum created by her storm and a leap of supernatural strength, the ice and water dragon Elsa flew through the roof of the shrine, emerging with grace and power into the skies above of Ahtohallan in a few seconds then began its rapid flight in a precise direction, the one that would lead it straight to its king. From a cliff in the frozen river, the Fairy Godmother watched with a proud smile as the ice dragon took flight.

_"Go, Titan of Balance. You and the King of Monsters are now our last hope." she said.

************

Meanwhile, in the middle of the ruins of Manhattan, Godzilla and Kong suddenly felt the same thing, like a sensation in their minds and hearts. The two alpha titans shared a look and both understood... Elsa... Jia... Something had happened, they felt their bonds with them... as if it was further strengthened and stabilized.. They felt it too, that was certain. Further away, Rodan and Behemoth watched the two kings wondering what was happening, Rodan looking towards Behemoth who himself shrugged his shoulders.

As if coming into communion with Elsa's newfound power, Godzilla flashed his backbones to the fullest, charging up and spewing a powerful atomic blast towards the sky. At the same time, Kong watched as one of his hands was covered in this newly acquired electrical power, even imbuing his axe.

*************

Meanwhile, SpaceGodzilla had finally reached his destination: the moon. Setting foot on the cold, rocky ground of the small silver star, the cosmic titan looked around warily. He couldn't see Destoroyah but could clearly feel her presence nearby. He only hoped he had been able to attract him far enough away from the earth to give the titans and humans time to gather their forces and also to be able to recharge his own power. Wasting no time, SpaceGodzilla summoned two large crystals from the ground, placing himself in the middle of them and letting their energy invest the crystals in his body and restore his strength.

Destoroyah landed heavily on the ground at the edge of the far side of the moon, making the rock tremble. Like a true mad predator on the hunt, the abomination looked everywhere in search of SpaceGodzilla. He was there somewhere and he would find it, it was only a matter of time. But it was something else that caught his eye, a few hundred meters away. A human space base! Growling voraciously and above all cruelty, Destoroyah headed there, feeling the urge to commit a little carnage to wait before tackling the main course.

In this same base, belonging to the terrorist organization Hydra, general panic had seized the staff members when the alarm was triggered due to the panic of the motion sensors having detected the approach of Destoroyah. Equipped with their spacesuits, the men and women of the base ran in all directions trying to prepare for the evacuation. One of the men ran towards his comrade when he saw him still sitting behind his screen.

_"We can't stay here!" he yelled. "Come!"

_"I sent a distress message to Syndrome!" replied the other in panic. "We must quickly evacuate the research data and artifacts!"

But suddenly, both men froze, paralyzed by nameless fear as they looked at the surveillance camera screen that showed the outside of the base. The titanic, overwhelming form of Destoroyah stood right here, his shadow covering the entire base. The abomination emitted a cruel growl, then with a single beam of its oxygen-destroying breath, pulverized the entire base and its occupants in a second in a monstrous explosion that rose for kilometers.

Standing in the midst of his new carnage, Destoroyah watched without showing any remorse, or even any expression as he finished feeding on the terror and death he had spawned here. Way too easy, these humans are so weak but it was still fun to pulverize them like the insects they are. Destoroyah turned around and flew away in search of his true prey, leaving behind his friends the silence and desolation that he was accustomed to leaving in his wake.

But soon after the smoke cleared, revealing a huge crater created by the power of Destoroyah's breath, but also revealed the reason of the presence of a secret Hydra base on the moon. At the bottom of the crater were the large, imposing shapes of what appeared to be the remains of a long-vanished extraterrestrial civilization. Hydra equipment was still found in the ruins, showing that they were studying this place. But the most remarkable building was the one located in the center of the crater, and despite its strange shape and colossal size suggested that it was some sort of scientific complex half collapsed by the passage of time and also because of the devastating attack on Destoroyah.

However, within this alien complex was only one thing: a metal container, more than 100 meters high and seemingly made of an unknown, smooth metal. Suddenly, a synthetic red glow activated, letting out a dull, metallic sound and two of the walls beginning to slowly slide sideways like a giant door, raising clouds of dust and smoke.

An alien, cybernetic voice, like a voice recording, then echoed through the complex as the immense container slowly opened and that a colossal humanoid monstrous shadow seemed to slowly awaken inside.
