CHAPTER 10
After Zilla Jr. had enough energy to walk, they walked all the way back to the chamber in which they usually hibernate. They fell asleep as the door slammed shut.
1100 B.C.
BANG! BANG! BANG! Zilla Jr. was startled awake. He was astonished by how big he was now. Zilla and Xilla were now awake and they were stretching, but they were all put on edge by the banging on the chamber door. BANG! BANG! BANG!
Dagon was angry. He needed to restore the balance. He had spent millions of years trying to find the source of the imbalance, and he finally found it. He was desperate. He had not rested in millenia.
They were all 60 meters tall, 100 meters long, and 2000 tons. BANGBANGBANG! Then a loud roar sounded that was just as loud through the heavy door.
Zilla Jr. walked toward the door and it started to slide open. He charged up his atomic breath, fearing a fight between the king of the monsters. Zilla and Xilla then dragged Zilla Jr. back and motioned their tails, indicating that he should fire at their tails. Just before the door fully opened, Zilla Jr, fired his atomic breath at their tails, which followed up to their heads and they fired it at Dagon. Dagon fired his atomic breath, which collided with the two beams of Zilla and Xilla’s atomic breath and exploded in a fiery ball of radioactive fire.
When the bright light dissipated, Zilla Jr. was surprised to see his mother and father on the ground, presumably dead, but in a coma. Dagon had made a crater in the mountain adjacent to the door, and he was standing up. Zilla Jr. quickly charged up a flame and fired it at Dagon. The flames engulfed him long enough for Zilla Jr. to close the chamber door. The door was now almost a perfect size for Zilla Jr., only being a bit smaller than the door. He rushed over to his parents and did the same thing he did to Zilla while he was incapacitaed by the Warbat. Soon after, they were both alive, but could not stand up. BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG! Dagon was back and he was mad. Zilla Jr. was also steaming because he was hungry, mad that Dagon was challenging him. Zilla Jr. burrowed out of the chamber and came up under Dagon and fired his atomic breath up his butt. Dagon was absolutely screaming in pain as he fell down on his back. Dagon was charging up his atomic breath again after getting back up but the light in his plates flickered out after a slight rumble was felt in the ground.
The MUTO Prime was getting old. She had reached the end of her life span and needed to reproduce. By “the end of her lifespan” means that she had a couple thousand years left. She already had eggs but she needed a Titanus Gojira big enough for a host, but there were only a few hundred left because of the titan war between the Titanus Gojira and the Titanus Kong. The only one that was suitable for the amount of eggs she had was Dagon, but Dagon was a force to be reckoned with. She had tried before, but had been defeated over and over again, and ran away before he could kill her. She needed a plan. Dagon obviously did not like Zilla Jr. So she thought that if she could get Zilla Jr. to kill Dagon, she could put her eggs in him. But, she did not know how to start the fight. When she found out that Zilla Jr. and Dagon were fighting, she did everything she could to help Zilla Jr. but she did not want to show herself.
Zilla Jr. was not affected by the MUTO Prime’s EMP but Dagon was. He knew he could not take on Zilla Jr. while weakened, so he grudgingly walked away. As Zilla Jr. was calming down, he heard rumbling coming from a mountain. He saw the MUTO Prime summit the mountain and look down on Zilla Jr.
He faintly remembered the MUTO Prime from the fight with King Ghidora. Zilla Jr. charged forward to attack the MUTO Prime but he could see that she was not being hostile to Zilla Jr. so he stopped and tilted his head at her. It took a while for each of them to understand each other, but they did soon enough. The MUTO Prime explained her predicament to Zilla Jr. and he did not want to kill Dagon.
“Even if I do, the other titans might come after me!” he said.
“They won’t. I have been alive far longer than you, and they do not like Dagon.”
“I still do not want to kill Dagon. He is far more powerful than me.”
“I need a host soon, otherwise the eggs will die.”
Sigh “Fine, when you hear this call, that means I killed him.” Zilla Jr. sounded a call.
After the MUTO Prime left, Zilla Jr. opened the door and told Zilla and Xilla about what he was going to do. They agreed that he should help the MUTO Prime after he got them some food. So Zilla Jr. went out and killed 4 adult warbats and brought them back to the chamber. Afterwards, he went out looking for Dagon.
Zilla Jr. and his species had an evolutionary ability to sense large amounts of radiation, so could locate Dagon fairly quickly. He was not in the hollow earth. While traveling there, he noticed weird creatures that walked on two legs. They were very small, and they had shiny things on them with sharp sticks. Zilla Jr. was very baffled by these creatures, as there were thousands of them lined up. They even started to throw flaming rocks at him. He vaporized them grudgingly. The leftovers were some shiny substance. Zilla had seen it before but only in very, very, small quantities which were very fragile. But the substance Zilla Jr. made was very hard and sharp when broken correctly. He continued to explore this and then realized he had to go kill Dagon. When he reached the area where Dagon was, it looked like he was fighting with someone.
He was fighting with Behemoth, a descendant of the Titanus Behemoth from the battle with Ghidora. After the fight ended, Behemoth was galloping away from Dagon in fear. He roared in a way that said, “Yeah you better run!”. Just looking at Dagon made him angry, but he did not know why. Smoke started coming out of his nose. He took a deep breath, and roared as loud as he could, initiating a fight.
Dagon spun around. He took one look at Zilla Jr. and knew he wanted to kill him. Dagon also wanted to kill him.
Dagon made the first move; charging forward and trying to ram Zilla Jr. He jumped forwards, and put his right foot on Dagon’s head while he was charging. He then pushed off, using Dagon as a jump platform. Dagon was pushed to the ground by Zilla Jr.’s weight. Zilla Jr. quickly spun around and fired his atomic breath at Dagon while he was still getting up. It hit his chest and pushed him back a little bit but not by much. Dagon then charged up his atomic breath but a light rumble was felt and the light in his dorsal plates flickered out again. A male MUTO then flew in and lightly stabbed Dagon with its curved claws. This MUTO was unrelated to the MUTO Prime. Dagon fired his atomic breath at the male MUTO and blasted it out of the sky. It fell to the ground and did not move. Zilla Jr. ran toward Dagon with his mouth open and chomped down on his shoulder. Dagon punched Zilla Jr. away. Zilla Jr. was charging up his atomic breath when Dagon lunged forward and bashed his head down, making his green beam hit the sand and instantly make glass. He stopped firing for a second and used all of his neck strength to push Dagon away. He then concentrated his flame into a beam to push Dagon away even further. He had enough time to pull the large chunk of glass out of the sand with his jaws. Zilla Jr. noticed that the glass he made was much stronger than the creature’s glass that he saw earlier. Then, he had an idea. He pressurised his atomic breath in his mouth and used that pressure to shoot the chunk of glass at Dagon. The chunk of glass hit Dagon and exploded on his chest. He glared at Zilla Jr. He ran forward and tackled Zilla Jr. to the ground. Zilla Jr.’s turquoise dorsal plates dug deep into the ground. Dagon used his hands to force open his opponent’s jaws and started to charge his atomic breath. Zilla Jr. did not know what to do.
Just as he could see the blue flame exiting his throat, Zilla Jr. fired his own at Dagon’s face and sent him stumbling backwards and falling back on the sand. Zilla Jr. quickly got up to prevent that situation again. Dagon was also up, with burns on his face. Zilla Jr. tried to fire his atomic breath but he burped out a spurt of green flame. He was out of energy. Dagon smiled sinisterly. Dagon tackled him and tried to do the kiss of death again, but was fearful that Zilla Jr. would regain his energy and stop him again, so he readied to fire his blue flame at Zilla Jr.’s rib cage, but the male MUTO came back and hooked his claws onto Dagon’s shoulders but could not lift him up.
While keeping Zilla Jr. pinned down, he bit onto the neck of the male MUTO and chomped down as hard as he could, severing the head. He fired his severely degraded atomic breath at Zilla Jr.’s rib cage. At first, it did not do much, but after a few minutes, it started to burn away some of the top layers of Zilla Jr.’s hide. Zilla Jr. put his legs against Dagon’s chest and pushed as hard as he could. Dagon lifted a few feet off the ground but he did not push him off. Dagon stopped firing for a second and pushed down on Zilla Jr.’s legs. He kept pushing down harder and harder until there was a loud crack and his legs fell limp, parallel to his tail. Dagon did that to his other leg also. Zilla Jr. roared in pain and agony. Dagon started to fire again. His vision was getting blurry and there were spots around his peripheral vision. But he had to stay awake. He had to kill Dagon. He had a surge of adrenaline and rage. Then, he realized something. He fired what was left of his atomic breath at the sand next to him in a line. It turned to glass and he picked it out. The end was blunt but it was all he had. He smashed it against Dagon’s side and a bit of it broke off. The pain was really starting to get to Zilla Jr. He smashed it again, and again, and again, and again, until the point was sharp. He smashed it one more time and this time it penetrated the skin but it did not stick. After a few more smashes, it stuck. Dagon roared in agony. He was about to pull the glass piece out but saw that he was so close to breaking through Zilla Jr. 's hide, so he continued firing. His atomic breath was getting weaker and weaker. Zilla Jr. continued pushing the long piece of glass into Dagon’s body and Dagon continued slowly breaking through Zilla Jr.’s hide. He hit once, twice, thrice, four times, five times, six times, and on the seventh time, it hit Dagon’s left lung. He hit it again and pierced through the lung and grazed his spine. He hit it again and it made a cut in his right lung and exited out the other side of his body.
Dagon stopped firing. His mouth was open and his eyes were wide. Zilla Jr.’s chest was burning hot. Blood started to drip out of his mouth and into the crater his atomic breath made. Dagon started to lose strength and fall towards Zilla Jr., but he re-directed Dagon to lie down next to him. Both of the beasts’ breathing was labored. Dagon had broken through Zilla Jr.’s hide and some fire had gotten into his body, severely burning some of his tissue and organs. Dagon could not breathe and it was only a matter of time before he died. When his spine was grazed, it paralized him from the waist down.
After Dagon’s chest stopped rising, Zilla Jr. tried to do the call to signify he killed Dagon but he coughed out smoke and blood. He tried again and again until he made the call. Storm clouds were moving in from the east. As the MUTO Prime arrived, it started drizzling. Both animals had stopped breathing. But before she put her eggs in Dagon, She used her sonic breath to try and vibrate Zilla Jr.’s heart back to life. After a few tries, Zilla Jr.’s eyes slowly opened. His regeneration had somewhat repaired his legs. It had been repaired well enough to stand. The Titanus Jinshin-Mushi hooked her two curved legs onto Zilla Jr.’s shoulders and pulled him to his feet. He wobbled around but he stood freely. He was able to walk but not run. The MUTO Prime put her eggs in Dagon and buried him to prevent predators from eating Dagon.
“Thank you.” She said.
Zilla Jr. could not say anything so he just walked away.
