The
5000th World Kaiju ARena Tournament
A Prelude to the "Three Keys Trilogy"
Round One
Rex
Raptor vs. Gojira64
Gatlin walked over to UG90. The kid
seemed afraid, but relaxed himself when Gatlin smiled and extended his hand.
"You did good, kid. Sorry I was so harsh on you." UG90
replied, "No hard feelings, Gatlin. I'm used to people
underestimating me. Your Kamacuras fought a good match."
Meanwhile, a man wearing a brown cloak
stared at them from under the stands. "Fools. All fools.
They think kaiju battles are sports events. But soon, they will ALL see
otherwise." He walked away towards the ARena.
"All right folks, Gatlin falls to UG90
in Battle 3 of the first round!" said the announcer. "Our next
battle is between a newcomer whose name is Rex Raptor and Gojira64 of the
Agency!" The crowd cheered for the match. Drag, Fudge, and
Awsome jumped out of their seats and tried to yell louder than the rest of the
audience. It was to no avail.
G64 walked over to his observation pod.
From the window of the Avatar Quarters, GWB and Fury gave him thumbs up.
He nodded at them and looked across the ARena to his opponent. The same
man in a brown cloak hovered into view in his observation pod. Fudge
jumped out of his seat. "Another one? What's going on
here?" Drag pulled Fudge down. "Stop that," he said.
"You're embarrassing me!"
Rex spoke to G64. "You can't
win, you know." His voice was low, with a hint of an animalistic
growl. G64 smiled. "Nothing's gonna stop me from winning this
tournament, Rex."
Rex laughed. "What makes you
think I'm talking about the tournament?" He pulled off his cloak.
Underneath revealed a humanoid reptile. His body was covered in brown
armor, the same armor as Dragitron. A long tail appeared behind the body,
thrashing about. His long arms ended in four claws, and his face was
eerily reminiscent of Godzilla. Along his back was a row of dorsal plates.
The audience gasped. Awsome 1 looked totally shocked. "No, it
couldn't be!" Drag looked at him. "What are you talking
about?" he asked, but Awsome was in his own little world at the moment.
"Have they finally achieved perfection? And in a year's time?
It's simply impossible!"
The announcer regained his composure.
"Uh, where were we? Oh yes, the box is locked, the lights are on, and
IT'S KAIJU FIGHTIN' TIME!" G64 looked adamantly at Rex, who was cool,
calm, and collected. The screech of Gigan filled the ARena as the cyborg
made its way through the virtual streets. Gigan clanged his arms in
anticipation. Another roar filled the audience with dread, as the huge
shape of Heisei Godzilla loomed into view. Gigan flew into the sky, intent
upon ramming Godzilla head-on, but Godzilla let loose his atomic breath, sending
Gigan crashing into a building. The cyborg got up and dusted himself off.
Godzilla wasn't done yet, however.
With a whip of his tail, Godzilla sent Gigan into another building. The
structure collapsed around Gigan. Godzilla lumbered over to his downed
foe, lifted Gigan up, and threw him at another skyscraper. The building's
foundation held, but Gigan was out like a light. "Is this all you've
got?" sneered Rex. "What a pathetic excuse for a kaiju!"
Godzilla walked over to Gigan's location.
A bright light began to grow from his mouth. Just before Godzilla fired
the blast, Gigan looked up and rolled out of the way. The radioactive
weapon hit the base of the building, sending it toppling onto Godzilla's head.
Rex was furious. G64 just smirked. Gigan got to his feet and
battered the dazed Godzilla with his arms, knocking the titan to the ground.
Godzilla swung his tail, but Gigan leaped over it. The cyborg grabbed
Godzilla's tail and swung the beast around. After a few moments, Gigan let
go and Godzilla sailed into another skyscraper. Gigan then charged up an
intense laser beam and blasted Godzilla in the head. The attack caused
Godzilla to stagger and sway. A second laser beam caught Godzilla square
in the chest, bowling him over. Godzilla's body went limp.
"We have a winner! Advancing to
the quarterfinals, Gojira64 and Gigan!" The crowd cheered vigorously.
However, Fudge looked worried. He turned to Drag. "I've seen
men wearing those cloaks all day. DaRokSez had one, and I've seen others
watching us." Drag scratched his chin. "I hear ya.
Something is definitely not right here."
Rex continued to stare at G64 with a look
of hatred in his eyes. "So, you are not as stupid as I had perceived
before. But it does not matter. You cannot win the coming war."
His pod floated to the ground. "When next we meet, the flames of
hatred will destroy your Agency from within!"
