Chapter 23 - Battle for the Earth part 1

Enraged by the awakening of Jia's power, Chernabog had lost his temper and triggered the opening of a portal to the underworld. A veritable hellish storm had risen in the Void dimension, the swirling maelstrom of flame and brimstone sucking absolutely everything into its ever-increasing wake. Despite his strength and resistance, King Ghidorah's spirit was sucked through the vortex and sent back to Hell where he belonged.

To prevent Jia from being sucked into the demonic vortex as well, Anna and Moana held her tightly close, using their fairy powers to create a wall of flame and water to protect themselves from the powerful suction. generated by the portal. Levitating in the air, Chernabog, his body covered in black flames and his eyes glowing with fury, looked at them with contempt. With a simple wave of his arm, he unleashed a shockwave that shattered the two fairies' shields in a second and swept the three girls several meters back.

_"I knew Chernabog was a sore loser, but not to this extent..." Anna joked lightly, regaining her senses and standing up.

_"Stay focused, Anna. It's far from over." Moana suggested, less optimistic and holding Jia in her arms.

_"Don't think you're saved now that this kid's power has awakened!" roared Chernabog. "If I have to tear her apart piece by piece to get it, so be it!"

Anna and Moana had now guessed why this demon wanted so much to seize Jia's power. Already possessing the abilities of the god of death, if he managed to obtain the power of the Titan of Life, he would gain total control over the precepts of life and death and would then become unstoppable. No being should have such control over the primordial laws that governed this universe.

_"Destoroyah is an abomination, but you are even more so." Anna wailed angrily at the demon. "You are prepared to destroy the fundamental laws of the universe to satisfy your selfish appetite for power. You have destroyed countless lives throughout the centuries, started wars, manipulated and shattered the destiny of so many souls and now you want to start again with Elsa and Jia. But this time, you won't succeed!"

Anna invoked her power as a fairy spirit, surrounding herself with a halo of fiery flames thanks to the blessing of the fairies obtained upon her death, but also thanks to the strong bond she had created with the primordial titan Rodan. Moana smiled proudly at Anna's words and joined in, also summoning her ocean fairy power. Chernabog smiled cruelly as he saw them doing this and almost rejoiced at Anna's judgment of him. It was all true. He had taken advantage of the distress of the god of death to possess him, create the abomination Destoroyah and thus trigger the very first war of the titans which saw the death of the dragon and titan of balance Sisu, thus causing the birth of eternal wrath in Godzilla's heart.

_"I grant you, Destoroyah is very powerful, my most beautiful creation." Chernabog replied sadistically. "But it is only a weapon that will be used to unleash another even more powerful one, my true reward: Godzilla. Once Destoroyah has eliminated the disruptive element, Godzilla will finally be able to unleash his true destructive potential and then, the victory will be mine!"

As the demon raved about his own words, Anna and Moana felt their hearts leap in their chests. They were afraid to guess what he meant. Godzilla's true destructive potential? The king of the monsters contained a great destructive rage within him it was true, that he had to restrain and the only one capable of preventing him from going dark was... Anna gasped in horror. The disruptor Chernabog was talking about was Elsa! If Destoroyah killed Elsa, as he did with Sisu, Godzilla would forever sink into darkness and become the feared God of Destruction foretold in so many prophecies throughout the ages. With the powers of life and death combined, Chernabog would then surely be able to take control of Godzilla and make him his new weapon.

_"Elsa..." Anna breathed, horrified.

_"Unfortunately the first time I underestimated the bond between Sisu and Godzilla and even in death, she managed to prevent him from sinking entirely into darkness." added Chernabog. "But this time, the two dear ones of the king of monsters have become one. So Destoroyah will kill two birds with one stone!"

The demon then unleashed a torrent of black flames but Anna and Moana combined their powers of fire and water to unleash a wave that collided with the black flames and blocked them. Behind the two fairies who protected her, Jia remained confused, still in shock from the power that had just awakened within her and which continued to show her strange visions without being able to stop it. Among these quick and intense flashes that exploded in his head, one of them showed opaque and infinite darkness facing him, then a frozen aura emanating from it, snowflakes slowly falling by the thousands, and suddenly two large eyes, bright, icy blue, opening and looking directly at her. Jia immediately felt crushed by this look, perceiving there an unknown power but which seemed to surpass even that of Godzilla and Kong combined.

Meanwhile, Anna and Moana continued their fierce fight against the absolute demon, the blows and attacks coming one after the other at superhuman speed. But despite their dexterity and powers, the two fairies could not touch Chernabog who with an explosion of black flames emanating from his body pushed them both back again.

_"You're starting to annoy me, insects!" he roared.

In his clawed hands, Chernabog prepared another blast of demonic flames to pulverize them.

But suddenly, a huge flash of intense white light coming from the sky tore and chased away the darkness of the storm for a short moment, blinding everyone for a few seconds. Like a shooting star, the Fairy Godmother came from the air at full speed, materializing before Jia, Anna and Moana to support them, her magic wand in hand. With a firm wave of her wand, she summoned a large barrier of light energy that blocked the wave of hellish black flames that the demon launched from its hands. Having seen his spell blocked like this, Chernabog growled in even greater frustration.

_"Here's the first fairy again." he said cynically, looking at the Fairy Godmother. "Don't think that just your coming will change anything."

_"That's why I didn't come alone." replied the Fairy Godmother with a smirk.

From the air, a confident and warlike laughter was heard in everyone's ears. A hawk came from the sky, then transformed into a large and powerful form, armed with a large bone hook and with a body covered in tattoos, which landed on its feet with poise before everyone's eyes. Jia and Anna were surprised but it was Moana who was the most surprised.

_"Maui..." she breathed with hope.

_"Miss me, princess?" replied the demigod with a smile, but not yet seeming to have fully recovered from the injury inflicted on him by the demon.

The demigod then signaled the three fairies to stay back and protect Jia while he remained on the front lines and faced Chernabog who, although frustrated, did not seem all that surprised to see him there.

_"Chernabog..." said Maui, looking at him defiantly. "We haven't seen each other in a long time. I don't even remember when we last faced each other."

_"Maui, the most pretentious demigod that could exist." replied the demon with contempt. "I didn't think you'd recover this quickly. I was planning on coming to finish you off later."

_"Which proves that you tend to underestimate your enemies too much, old demon." Maui retorted. "And that you also have a short memory. You seem to have forgotten the pact made between our worlds. You know very well that the gods will not let this pass without consequences."

_"Pacts are made to be broken." Chernabog said slyly. "As for the gods... Ha! They are far too weak for me to care about them. And it's the same for you, you are nothing more than a shadow of what you once were."

_"Which is more than enough to send you back where you came from." Maui said as he readied his bone hook, taking a fighting stance. "This will end like last time!"

_"You were helped by the gods and the titans back then, but they won't come this time!" Chernabog growled as he summoned a dark, veined blade into his hand again. "It's between you and me, my old enemy!"

As the group of women watched, Maui and Chernabog leapt towards each other at prodigious speeds and their weapons entered into a monstrous collision that triggered a shock wave that raised the water around them for dozens of meters, forcing the Fairy Godmother to create a magical dome around them to protect them from the tidal wave.

***********

In the dust and ash-covered ruins of what was once Manhattan, overwhelming tension had set in following the arrival of a new fighter in this all-out war of monsters. Titan of the moon, ultimate weapon of a now extinct alien civilization, the cyborg Gigan stood up, his visor glowing and letting his chainsaw blades rumble. Facing him, Godzilla, Kong, Rodan and Behemoth had taken position to face this unknown enemy whose hostility they could read like an open book. In unison, the four titans roared and charged forward to attack.

Gigan didn't wait any longer and charged too, flying away thanks to his dorsal thrusters which shattered the ground dozens of meters around. Rodan, faster thanks to his flight, was the first to arrive at contact and attempted an aerial charge, but Gigan was faster and avoided the charge, then with a sweep of his metal tail struck and propelled the fire titan into the debris of a building. Behemoth, while charging with all his mass, grabbed a piece of building which he threw in Gigan's face, more to destabilize him than to really do any damage. Behemoth then attempted a strike with his clawed paw but Gigan reacted more quickly, deflecting the fist and inflicting a violent blow with his blade into Behemoth's shoulder, causing a bloody gash. Behemoth grunted in pain and was pushed back by a brutal kick to the stomach from the cyborg.

Kong quickly circled around, leaping and climbing the ruins of the buildings to take Gigan from behind, leaping with all his might with his axe. But once again thanks to its high-performance sensors, Gigan detected the danger and with a masterful blow of its blades parried the attack of the giant gorilla. The chainsaw blades and giant ax collided in several brutal exchanges, but over time, Gigan analyzed his opponent at lightning speed, adapting and improving his offensive capabilities to outmatch the foe. Increasing his attack speed, he managed to outrun Kong, and one of the blades caused a deep gash in Kong's chest. Kong let out a low grunt of pain and was then struck and thrown backwards by a swipe of the cyborg's tail. One of Gigan's blade cannons fired a powerful, devastating red laser beam, but Kong managed to protect himself from it by dodging it and rolling to the side, taking cover behind the remains of a building.

Having seen his battle allies being pushed back by this mechanical monster, Godzilla inhaled and spat out a powerful atomic breath. However, Gigan, while walking, triggered a red protective energy field forming a real spherical shield all around him and fully absorbing the power of the breath, much to the anger of Godzilla who did not give up and continued to spit his breath. Gigan counterattacked and fired a new huge and ravaging laser beam which hit Godzilla head-on and caused him to fall heavily backwards, burning his chest a little. The King of the Monsters stood up, growling and gritting his teeth, slapping his tail on the ground in a sign of determination to fight despite his injuries. Gigan continued to walk towards him, paying no attention to the other titans. Every time one of them attempted an attack, Gigan would fend them off with frightening ease and continue on his way towards his main target.

Godzilla roared and charged again, managing to deliver a powerful tail swipe to Gigan. Godzilla, in his outburst of anger and like a real rugby player, threw himself with all his weight on the cyborg, causing them both to hit the ruins of a building which collapsed in an immense cloud of dust and smoke. Kong saw this as he helped Rodan out of the rubble of the building that covered him and Behemoth joined them, suffering from his bleeding shoulder wound.

Amidst the smoke, Godzilla had managed to keep Gigan pinned to the ground and was fighting ferociously. But the cyborg gave a violent blow with his blade to one of the ribs of the king of the monsters, and fired a laser beam from his visor straight into the face of Godzilla, who was blinded by the intense burning light of the beam and backed away, roaring in pain. Taking advantage of being freed from the hold, Gigan flew away at high speed and took advantage of his momentum to inflict more slashing attacks on Godzilla who found himself overwhelmed by the blows, repeatedly attempting to hit Gigan with atomic breaths but the cyborg was much too fast in the air. Several laser shots hit Godzilla in different places on his body, inflicting more injuries but further accentuating his fury. He wanted to spit another atomic breath but Gigan concentrated the full power of his two cannons, firing a beam so wide and so powerful that it pushed Godzilla back ten meters and caused him to hit the ruins of tall buildings. Not having finished, Gigan fired once again, this time at the ruins themselves in order to make them completely collapse on Godzilla who found himself buried, disappearing under a smoking mountain of rubble under the gaze of the other titans worried.

Rodan wanted to return to fight, but Kong retained him by the shoulder and seemed to have an idea, signaling Rodan and Behemoth to follow him and take cover behind some ruins. In order to give Godzilla a chance and time to emerge from this rubble, Kong, stealthily, threw a block of debris into Gigan's neck, who then had his attention caught and triggered a laser beam scanner from his visor to scan the area, looking for the other titans.

Rodan and Behemoth behind him and as if waiting for instructions, Kong had the idea of trying to go around Gigan to attack him in the back and signaled the other two titans to follow him while trying to make as little noise as possible among the ruins. However, Gigan, with a shrill, cybernetic roar, leapt into the air with his thrusters and slammed into the ground with a force that unleashed a shockwave that knocked all three titans to the ground. Another blow of the blade hurt Behemoth even more, another blow wounded Rodan in the stomach and weakened him. Kong attempted to pick up his ax to help his allies, but Gigan prevented him with a kick to the stomach, pushing him back against a ruined wall. Gigan then shot two large steel chains from his shoulders, the hooks at the ends piercing Kong's skin, causing him pain and hooking him tightly. The chains began to retract, pulling Kong forcibly towards Gigan who then activated his massive body chainsaw at full speed, eager to cut the giant gorilla into pieces. Seeing this, Kong growled and roared, struggling with all his strength and even holding on to what he could to avoid being dragged towards an agonizing death.

Further on, Behemoth and Rodan, despite their injuries, were able to reach the mountain of rubble and begin to clear it, thus helping Godzilla to escape. The king of monsters, still a little stunned, quickly noticed Kong's dangerous situation in the hands of this artificial monstrosity. Enraged, Godzilla made his eyes and spines glow an intense blue, accentuating his atomic power and with a titanic roar of rage managed to free himself by literally shattering the rubble in all directions, forcing Rodan and Behemoth to retreat . Barely recovered and animated by bestiality, Godzilla charged at high speed towards Gigan who this time did not have time to react. Godzilla bumped into him and pushed him forcefully, destabilizing Gigan and allowing Kong to break free and move back a little. Godzilla, carried away by his destructive frenzy, delivered two violent blows with his paws to Gigan's head, and followed up with a masterful blow of his tail to the legs which threw the giant cyborg to the ground. Godzilla didn't stop there, violently crushing Gigan's head under his enormous foot. The king of the monsters then concentrated an atomic breath which he spat at full lungs and continuously on the torso of Gigan, who for the first time seemed to emit roars similar to pain.

But Gigan activated his protocols and focused a very powerful laser beam from his visor which collided point blank with Godzilla's concentrated atomic breath, which had the effect of producing a devastating shock wave which separated the two monsters and threw them both back several meters. The blast of the wave was such that even Kong, Rodan and Behemoth, although far away, were also thrown to the ground. Due to his cybernetic nature, Gigan was the first to get back on his feet, not needing to catch his breath but showing some damage to his body, notably his still smoking torso damaged by the atomic blast.

Kong, Rodan and Behemoth were stunned by the shockwave. Godzilla, although stunned, got to his feet with a growl, once again facing the monstrous cyborg alien. The latter made these cannons shine, charging powerful lasers to finish off Godzilla. The king of monsters growled fiercely, ready to take the shock and knowing that he would not have time to charge another atomic breath or charge towards his enemy.

Suddenly, new roars pierced the air, attracting the attention of both Godzilla and Gigan who then stopped his action. The sea of black clouds that covered the skies was suddenly pierced and pushed aside by the intense explosion of white light, itself emanating from the body of Mothra who like a celestial angel descended from the air, settling on the summit of a ruin near Godzilla, who then expressed a friendly grunt at seeing the goddess again. But she didn't come alone.

Also descending from the sky, the giant turtle Gamera landed heavily, standing up on its hind legs and letting smoke come from its jaws. Kiryu came in just as firmly, his backpack reactors smoking, and drew a blade from his wrist. Godzilla was at first very confused and wary to see a new mechagodzilla, but quickly guessed that this one was not here to pose a threat. And finally, a huge dragon made of ice and water landed, and right away, Godzilla guessed and felt that it was Elsa. Side by side, their eyes met, both being reassured to know that they were alive, but they had to remain focused in front of Gigan, who despite the unexpected arrival of these new titans, proceeded directly to scan them and analyze their abilities and weaknesses.

Although willing to continue the fight, Godzilla showed signs of fatigue, the numerous repeated injuries caused by Destoroyah and now Gigan beginning to weight on him. The king, however, refused to flinch and out of pride, remained standing despite the pain. Elsa, however, guessed it and supported her king, helped by Mothra while Gamera and Kiryu stood in front of Gigan, ready to continue the fierce fight for the survival of their world.
