The
5000th World Kaiju ARena Tournament
A Prelude to the "Three Keys Trilogy"
SEMIFINALS
Dracatron
vs. Guy Wearing Black
The agents looked on as G64 ran to Gigan's side. The kaiju was struggling
to get up. "Lie down, Gigan. Save your strength for the final
round." Gigan complied, albeit weakly. G64 turned to DaRokSez,
who was still smirking. "This isn't over, DaRokSez!"
A half hour later, the stage was set for the second semifinal match.
Dracatron and GWB were already in their pods, awaiting the announcer.
"The box is locked, the lights are on, and IT'S KAIJU FIGHTIN' TIME!"
GWB looked defiantly at his adversary. "Dracatron, we know your
secret. Someone is controlling you, and that someone is CORPSEFIRE!"
Drac smiled as his eyes turned bright red. His voice changed to that of
Corpsefire. "Well, you've found me out, GWB. I promised Drag
I'd have my revenge, and what better way to get back at someone than to take
control of his own flesh and blood!"
"You bastard! Give me back my brother!" screamed Drag from the
stands. Drac smiled. "Why? I think he likes having me
here. So much power. So much power, and now I can unleash that
power! GMK Ghidorah, destroy Fire Rodan!" A blinding flash of
golden light covered the sky, revealing the whereabouts of Ghidorah. With
an evil cackle, the great god landed in the city. A blast of uranium
energy caused Ghidorah to shield himself with his wings. Fire Rodan had
arrived, letting loose a trumpeting roar as he gracefully flew into the ARena.
The two beasts circled one another in the air. Suddenly, in a burst of
speed, Rodan got behind the great dragon and slammed into Ghidorah's back.
The titan fell forward, but Rodan slammed into Ghidorah from underneath, sending
the kaiju up into the air. Rodan continued this assault for a few moments,
juggling his foe with a multitude of ramming attacks. Rodan stopped
suddenly and Ghidorah crashed to the ground. GWB laughed. "Ol'
chicken legs seems to be having problems, wouldn't you agree, Drac?"
GWB was dumbfounded. No matter how many insults he hurled at Drac, his
opponent stood silent and unmoving, as though he anticipated something.
Ghidorah returned to his feet, shaking off the dust. He fired gravity
beams at Fire Rodan, who deftly dodged the energy projectiles and fired back
with a uranium beam. The heat weapon slammed into Ghidorah's chest and the
monster toppled over. Rodan flew back and forth, strafing his foe with
beam after beam after beam. The surrounding buildings trembled and
collapsed on top of Ghidorah. All was silent.
Suddenly Drac raised his arms into the sky and shouted in an odd language.
A lightning storm appeared from the clouds above and struck Ghidorah's limp
form. The beast's body crackled with energy. Ghidorah flew into the
sky and fired gravity beams at the surprised Rodan, catching him in the right
wing. Losing his balance, Rodan plummeted to the ground but regained his
senses at the last moment. Flying back to Ghidorah's level, Fire Rodan
shot a super-charged heat beam at Ghidorah. Amazingly, the god seemed to
have absorbed the energy! All six of Ghidorah's eyes turned white and
began to flash. Rodan followed suit, entranced by the hypnotic effect.
GWB pounded on his observation pod. "Damn it! Rodan, snap out
of it!" It was here and now that Drac began to show emotion. He
leered at GWB. "I forgot to mention," he said in Corpsefire's
voice, "My Ghidorah absorbs energy attacks. You'll have to remind me
to thank you for that boost of energy later, after I destroy your kaiju, of
course." Rodan was helpless as Ghidorah charged up a triple gravity
beam. His three maws opened wide, and a burst of energy from each head
converged into one gigantic blast. The beam slammed into Rodan's chest.
The flying reptile let loose an unearthly, guttural howl and plunged toward the
ground. A resounding crash ended the battle.
"Your winner... GMK Ghidorah! His Avatar Dracatron will be facing off
against Gojira64 in the Final Round!" The crowd booed, especially the
other agents. "oh no," said GWB, "I screwed up! G64's
gotta face that thing now... and Gigan is too injured to compete!"
