Kingdom of Tabor, Poland
Since the beginning of the reign of the cruel Queen Ravenna after the death of Princess Snow White, a rebel movement had emerged, created by the prince and husband, widowed, of Snow White, eager to avenge his beloved and bring peace to Tabor. Followed by many lords supporters of the old royal dynasty, the Prince, for many years now, perpetrated his rebellion against the tyrannical queen.
Today, in the an old isolated fortress in rocky hills, main refuge of the rebellion, some was preparing. Today, the prince and a group of his men, all in uniform, were making a determined step towards their horses in the main courtyard.
_ "Listen to me ..." said the prince "... I learned from a reliable source that today, a very special convoy was heading for the queen's castle. We are going to intercept this convoy and take over cargo for our cause."
_ "I ..." replied one of the men, visibly more worried than the others "... my prince ... far from me the idea of wanting to appear cowardly but ... if what we were saying is It is said that Queen Ravenna would have a new weapon, a gigantic and indestructible creature. It is said that already, several villages have been destroyed and their populations entirely decimated by this thing ... "
The prince dismissed this idea by his reply.
_ "The Queen's deception is matched only by her cruelty. She is ready to do anything to be feared by the people. The idea that a titan obeys her is nothing but madness."
But suddenly, as the men were about to ride their horses, the earth began to shake, steadily and louder and louder. There were also muffled noises. As if something was digging ... under the fortress and approaching quickly! The noise gradually attracted everyone's attention.
_"What...?"
The prince did not have time to finish his sentence. The ground in the center of the main courtyard exploded violently and suddenly, the earth tearing in two and debris of rocks flying everywhere, as well as the bodies of several men killed by the shock. The wave was such that the prince and his men were thrown to the ground, and the horses, panicked, fled. Rubbing his head in pain, the prince contemplated, gasping in horror, the emergence of an immense and horrible reptilian creature.
Shin Godzilla, 122 meters long, slowly and like a big grotesque earthworm, crawled out of the hole he had dug. With his round and frightening eyes, he did not take long to find his targets. Having no arms, and legs that could hardly lift his unbalanced and misshapen body, Shin crawled heavily, crushing and cracking the ground under his belly, before throwing himself with all his weight on one of the towers of the fortress. The tower did not resist, collapsing under the weight and the force of the monster, in a deafening crash which made the earth tremble. All the men inside were crushed. Covering the smoking ruins of the stone tower, Shin emitted a powerful, deformed roar, blood ceaselessly flowing from his jaw and his foul gills, as if his body was constantly suffering from violent internal bleeding without killing him.
Shin's tail, like a giant whip, in a sideways motion, destroyed one of the fortress walls, striking and pulverizing all the soldiers there. Although destroying and killing everything around him, Shin kept wriggling, as if he suffered martyrdom and kept roaring brutally.
The prince, kneeling in the midst of chaos and frozen in the horror he saw, could not act as fear was great in the face of this monstrosity.
The horror increased when suddenly, Shin's body began to change. Two small clawed arms began to push. Her legs grew, becoming wider and thicker. The tail also grew, and at its extremity was formed a kind of second jaw filled with sharp teeth. The thorns on his back changed shape, becoming sharper and looking like sawtooth. The size of the titan increased, while everywhere on his body, his brown skin tore like tissue, letting out blood flows. But very quickly, the gaping wounds seemed to heal and the skin replaced by black scales which gradually covered the titan. The metamorphosis seemed more than painful, the monster, with the mad look, roaring even louder, making the air around him tremble.
Driven crazy by his transformation and this pain, Shin quickly turned his rage towards the rest of the survivors and the fortress, and from his gaping jaw, spat an immense and continuous thick cloud of black smoke, which was very quickly accompanied by fierce flames and red, coming to invade the whole fortress and destroy it as if it were nothing. The prince and his men did not have time to react as all were pulverized by the fiery breath of the creature.
Meanwhile, from the top of a rocky cliff overlooking the fortress, Queen Ravenna, on her horse and accompanied by her royal escort, watched the carnage of her creature with a smile more than satisfied. Around her, the guards seemed terrified by the power of Shin, but Ravenna was rather fascinated by such power ...
_ "Magnificent ..." she sighed with a smile, her cruel gaze not turning away from the massacre.

Kingdom of France
_ "Godzilla ... Rodan ... Mothra ... Ghidorah ... Zilla ... King Caesar ..."
On a large table of carved oak, were placed black and white photographs and of rather poor quality representing the creatures mentioned. These images were taken during violent clashes between titans around the world. In this large, well-protected round room, several representatives from several countries were seated side by side at the same table, looking with some anxiety at the photos of the creatures. The man who spoke in a cold voice, the French ambassador, then spoke again.
_ "Gods and myths ... revered by the first civilizations ... today, legends become realities and come to take back the world which belonged to them formerly ... you know what I see? Nothing but monsters!!"
On these last words, the ambassador brutally struck his fist on the table. Around him, many of the representatives seemed to agree with him, nodding with conviction.
_ "Yes, monsters, gentlemen ..." said the ambassador "... just one of them is capable if he wishes, to destroy an entire country. For the survival of our world, it is to our duty to eradicate these abominations! For the good of the human race!!"
_ "You will only condemn the human species by your incensed act!!" suddenly shouted a female voice. All the men present were silent, perplexed, and turned their eyes to the young Princess Belle, dressed in her large yellow dress, who rose from her chair and advanced towards them, her eyes hard on them. With her were several members of the Monarch organization, which she still led. The ambassador looked at her badly.
_ "Princess Belle ... despite all the respect that I owe you, you are not in a position to dictate the decisions of this council."
_ "I rather believe that it is you who are not capable of making the right decisions ... your fear and your blind contempt for the titans will cause the loss of humanity." Belle spoke frankly. A more knowledgeable representative then decided to speak.
_ "Explain yourself, princess. We are listening."
Belle thanked the man with a nod and went up to the stage, in front of the representatives and the ambassador, to explain his point of view.
_ "You call them abominations, but it is thanks to some of them that our species still exists ... do you really believe that nature would have created these things by mistake? No. This world is governed by more complex forces that we cannot conceive of, forces that we cannot control, and that scares you! ... Dr. Serizawa was right ... there is a balance for everything in this universe ... and these creatures. .. these living gods... are the balance of this world."
The men around the table listened attentively, but many did not seem convinced, and even dismissive, especially the French ambassador.
_ "And what do you suggest, princess? That we leave them the power to rule this world again?" asked the ambassador, slyly.
_ "It may be the only good solution, indeed ..." replied Belle simply, to which, the representatives get up from their chairs, offended by such an idea and showing their disagreement. Belle remained calm, expecting such a reaction from them. Behind her, Monarch's men were ready to intervene.
_ "Have you lost your mind, princess?" spat one of the representatives. "Did you forget what happened in Paris last year? All this destruction, all these deaths ... do you want the same horrors to be repeated all over the world?!!"
_ "I never forget, councilor ..." replied Belle coldly "... I was present, as well as my husband, and we miraculously survived ... I could contemplate Godzilla with my own eyes , and see his omnipotence, but also his benevolence towards us ... "
_ "His benevolence?! He destroyed half of Paris!!" yelled, outraged, a representative. Belle also raised her voice to continue speaking, clapping the palms of her hands on the table.
_ "Because we attacked him first!! If Godzilla came to Paris, it was to protect us from this other titan who threatened our country ... everything could have ended quickly, but it was necessary that the army steps in and takes Godzilla as target ... if we continue to do so, if we pose a threat to this world, then Godzilla will destroy us!"
Suddenly, the conversation was interrupted by the rapid and brutal opening of the doors to the room. A man, dressed as a courier, arrived, gasping and frightened, holding a message in his hand.
_ "Godzilla has reappeared! He has completely destroyed the Southern Isles! There are no survivors!"
Dead silence fell over the room, and Belle gasped in horror, round eyes and unable to say another word.

Arendelle, Norway
_ "Wait, what do you want to do?!" asked Anna, seated on the sofa in the royal drawing room, in a nightgown. Sitting next to her, Kristoff seemed just as perplexed and wanted to be sure that she had heard correctly, just like Olaf and Sven listening too. Elsa, nervously walking in front of them, then decided to repeat what she had said.
_ "The enchanted forest ... I have to go there ... this echo that I hear ... it's there that he tells me to go, I'm sure ..."
_ "Uh ... follow a voice that you don't know and that you are the only one to hear, in your head? When do you tell yourself that it's a good idea?" said Kristoff, not really convinced. Elsa glared at him.
_ "Are you accusing me of lying, Kristoff?"
_ "No, he just thinks you have a mental illness, well, I think so." then wanted to explain Olaf. Anna, Sven and Kristoff were dismayed, facepalming their faces. Elsa raised an eyebrow, a little confused by what the snowman had just said. Anna spoke again.
_ "What Kristoff meant is that it looks very much like a trap."
Kristoff confirmed Anna's words with a nod. Elsa thinks. It is true that this could be a trap for her, knowing now that she was not the only one to have magic powers. But deep down, she felt attracted to this voice ... the titans also heard it, and were drawn to it ... yes, curiosity was stronger than anything ...
_ "I must know ... I must understand what it is ... I ... I have the feeling that it could explain so many things, about me, but also ... about him..."
Anna knew she was mentioning Godzilla with that "him". Finding that Elsa seemed to decide, the young princess took her by the hand.
_ "So, we're coming with you."
_ "Anna, you don't have to do this!"
_ "Uh, excuse me ... I survived the winter, Hans, the frozen heart, and two battles of titans ... so it's decided, I'm coming with you."
Elsa wanted to insist, but had that it was useless towards Anna. Seeing also Kristoff, Olaf and Sven come to her, smiling and volunteers, she smiles in turn. Then, turning her gaze and looking out the window, towards the outside and the horizon of the moonlit fjord, she thought ...
"I'm coming Godzilla ... wherever you are, I'll find you, my king ..."
