Chapter 3

  Things were looking pretty bleak for Japan, or at least for the Counter G Bureau. They had just finished the completion of their first project, a machine-aerial fighter code named Garuda. It was built by an engineer going by the name of Kazuma Aoki, and it was thought of by the engineers and military to be ‘the ultimate weapon’ that would be able to defeat the legendary King of the Monsters, Godzilla. However, it was found out that its fighting capabilities were limited through virtual and real simulation. A much powerful machine was needed in order to fully stand up to the gigantic green monster.   Aoki was in the hanger were Garuda was in, disappointed that it was terminated. “Don’t worry Garuda. I believe that you are the machine we need to defeat Godzilla.” the engineer spoke out. The ship was a marvel of technology and design, quite literally a first-class fighter. Sadly, it was below the level of Godzilla and his awesome abilities. Mr. Kazuma was busy rifting through some papers on his desk when a military man came into the room. He was dressed in an American Marine uniform, a solemn look on his face.   “Ah, Dean-san. Nice of you to come.” the Japanese worker spoke politely. The aviator’s name was Michael Dean, but he was also known as the “Rebel” due to his highly aggressive and independent nature on and off the battlefield. It was a surprise that he was a captain of his own squadron. He was stationed out in Okinawa, temporary on the staff of G-Force. The two met there a few weeks ago, becoming fast friends. “Hello Akoi. I see its been awhile since we met.” the brown-haired American replied. The two shook hands, and both stared a little at the massive machine before them. After a moment of silence, Dean spoke out “This is a fine looking machine, Aoki. I would have been excited to fly in it.”   “I see. Its good to see you my friend, but I can tell that you have something urgent for me?” Kazuma inquired. Dean had to admit one thing, the Japanese were very perceptive. “Yes, I have. My superiors told me to tell you of their latest project. We have recovered the remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah, and are now working on using the technology from it to create a weapon that they claim will be able to kill Godzilla” The American captain formed a frown, Kazuma knowing on why. “You still believe that killing Godzilla is impossible?” he asked.   Michael just grunted, crossing his arms over his chest and taking a few steps towards Garuda, away from Akoi. “You should know about how I feel about Godzilla, Kazuma. He killed my C.O. and six of my squadron friends. I should hate him, but… I also respect the monster.” Dean answered roughly. Dean knew what Godzilla was, a mistake of both nature and man but mostly man. Godzilla was created due to extensive nuclear bomb testing in the 1940’s and 50’s. He fought with him before, but that was when he and his men were fresh from the academy and believed that nothing would defeat them. Godzilla proved them all wrong in a big way.   “Kazuma, Godzilla is a reminder to us humans that we are not in control of this planet like kings or emperors. We have become arrogant and he reminds us that we are not above nature or this planet.” Michael continued on. His nature and attitude have mellowed out thanks to Godzilla’s attack. He just wished that it hadn’t cost him his friends’ lives. “And these arrogant, beaurcratic fools believe that by getting rid of Godzilla, we would make this planet safe. Ha! They’re dead wrong.” Akoi went and stood by his friend, a silent gesture of his support. Not of his opinion, but of Dean’s well-being. “In any case, they want you to be on that project.” the Rebel finished up.   Kazuma sighed and said “No, I will not work on it. I will continue to work on Garuda here, to try and make it more durable and more powerful.” The two had a sort of respect for Godzilla, Michael more so then his Japanese friend but they have made a vow to protect Japan and the world from monsters like the King of the Monsters. “Michael-san, please tell them I decline their request. I would like to work more on my project here.” Akoi asked. The “Rebel” smiled a little and patted Kazuma’s shoulder. “It will be done, my friend. Well, good luck with Garuda here.” Michael said before leaving the area. It was a rough day for both parties.   ~In Kyoto~   In the city of Kyoto, something was happening at the National Institute of Biomechanics. It was a college that focused solely on biology and the mechanics’ involved in many biological species. One of the major scientists there was a man by the name of Kyle Thurmond, an American who was part of an exchange program but quickly rose through the ranks. Surprisingly, his main goal in that institue was the study of one particular creature; Godzilla. The young man was a big fan of the monster and wanted to know more about him. He tried to gain access to some Godzilla cells that were stored at a business facility, but it was locked down tight and near impenetrable to get to.   “I do not understand this. All of my time and research has yielded next to nothing on the big guy!” he exclaimed in frustration. After scouring numerous files and stories all centered around the powerful behemoth, all he found out was that Godzilla’s main diet was fish and also radioactive energy sources. He had a healing rate that was unbelievable and put out a radiation field that was off the scale. He also felt that Godzilla was just a misunderstood creature, an accident due to mankind’s testing of science that led to deep scars in Mother Nature. “Godzilla, why is it that a creature such as yourself have many secrets yet we try to destroy you?” he asked to no one in particular.   “Now that is a question that any worthy scientists would ask.” a voice spoke up from behind him. Kyle turned around to find himself in company with one Vincent McKnight, a fellow scientist like him and also with a fascination with Big G. He was a mixture of heritage from the United States, his long black hair tied into a ponytail and his reading glasses making him easily recognizable in the institute. “I have studied the monster for some time now myself, and I too wonder on what secrets Godzilla holds. Maybe he holds the key for a longer future for mankind.” Vincent stated. Kyle agreed with him, but his head hung low for a moment. “Yes, but… with man’s thinking as of late, I doubt that it would last longer then a few centuries.” he replied.   Vincent just looked out the huge window that before them, giving them a view of the city and its surroundings. “I agree with you there. But that’s why I want to continue researching into Godzilla, to see if I can help out humanity before it is too late.” he said. McKnight asked on why Godzilla always wanted to fight with other monsters like Mothra, Biolantte, and with Mecha-King Ghidorah, and his colleague theorized that it was merely trying to protect its territory. “I think it goes down more deeper then that, my friend. I suspect that Godzilla fights because that’s all he has, to fight for his existence and his right to live. He has an unbreakable will.” Vincent answered.   ~In Okinawa~   On the small island just east of the motherland (Japan), a navel and military base was beginning to buzz with activity. The entire place was monitoring the activity of a certain large lizard that was walking slowly around the bay near Tokyo. In the city of Naha, three military men were going over some plans to put in effect should Big G emerge again. Their names were Azmodai Cyquil, Eric Wilson, and John Evans. They were veterans from Europe, John Evans in his fifties yet fit as twenty young men. Azmodai was a brilliant strategist, somewhat cold and distant but with a good head on his shoulder. And Eric was visiting his friends who were stationed on the island, a trained man of impressive skill.   “I have heard from our superiors in Japan that G-Force and the JSDF have recovered the remains of that futuristic monster Mecha-King Ghidorah. They say that by studying the technology from it, we will be able to create a robotic monster capable of defeating Godzilla.” John stated. He was a special type of technological expert, one that was unique in Japan and all over the world. Azmodai merely grunted in response and replied “Regardless if the weapon can do it or not, we need to make sure to have a back-up plan in case, it fails.” He was the serious one, taking charge of the situation and always trying to stay one step ahead of his enemies, be they human or not.   Eric was checking out the weapons he had on his person when put his opinion in “This war on the lizard has gone long enough. No matter what we do to him, he always seems to come back stronger then ever. What makes any of you think that any kind of weapon will defeat Godzilla?” John retorted that it was their duty as soldiers to not give up the fight, if their superiors deem it necessary to keep on fighting the “unstoppable fury”. Azmodai merely grunted and continued to come up with plans just in case Big G managed to defeat the G-Force’s new toy. In his opinion, Godzilla was a force of nature itself. Its exploits in the past proved that no matter what it faces, it would not go down without a fight.   ~At Tokyo~   The city of Tokyo, capital of all of Japan and also #1 in technology, anime, businesses, and with culture. It was a place that made New York City look like a complete joke, not in multicultural but in size and population. It was the hustle and bustle of life, both good and bad. Stores of various kind littered the place, businesses of all types of levels were also crowded in together. But also, it had something that most people all over the world did not have including Europe. The public had knowledge of the existence of magic users. In short, as the people of Europe would put it, muggles knew about the existence of magic! However, surprisingly few people minded that. In fact, they were content to have such magic users about.   The magical population in Japan was about more then half of the total amount, but they have made their lifestyle more balanced and also significant then most magic users. Most of them practiced in the temples or shrines that were scattered throughout the cities and countryside, using their knowledge in the mystic arts to help the people and also ward off demons. In fact, what people read in the manga and comics that come from Japan are often true then one tends to realize. Mikos, monks, priests, priestesses, slayers, etc. were magical beings that were more effective and serious about their tasks and responsibilities. They did not have the need for wands like the wizards and witches had in Europe, using their minds and/or other tools for a focus point.   There are also wielders of magic that go by another name, a name that has been used for centuries. They are… the shinobi. Ninjas of death, users of unbelievable skill and prowess that stay in the shadows. Some use their talents for good and peace, some for evil and unfair gain, and the rest to become hired to anyone who needs their skill. They have their own unique way of using magical energy, either from their own beings or from nature herself. They are proficient in both magic and muggle attacks, always expanding their knowledge instead of keeping it the same. Even Voldemort’s “elite Inner Ring” would be easy pickings for a team of low-level shinobi.   There is also a new growing force in the heart of Tokyo, a new breed of magic users. They combined technology of today with the magic that is apparent even now, giving them the name of Technomancers. These gifted people believed in progress, moving forward not only with technology but with magic as well. Wizards and witches from all over the world have come to Japan to become technomancers, and slowly small networks of this group were appearing worldwide. Unlike the magical beings in Europe, they believed that muggles had a lot to teach them and did not want to become ignorant or remain frozen in time.   There are also the talented martial artists and weapons masters that reside in on the island-country, muggle and magical alike that use their bodies and spiritual energies in a unique way that is learnable to most people but require immense discipline, training, and a clear mind. Martial artists study different styles of the art, from Aikido to Taijutsu, in an effort to find balance with their bodies, minds, souls and spirit. This is the same for Samurai, who still exists. Many follow the laws of Bushido, the code of the warrior, which requires the person to show honor, morals, and growth in everything they do. Some also follow the code and rules that are listed in The Book of Five Rings, a marvelous text created by Miyamoto Musashi a long time ago.   The legends and myths surrounding the Land of the Rising Sun is more numerous and fantastic then any other kind in the world. Mythical and magical creatures that roam the land, sea, and air inside the borders of Japan are incredible. From water demons called Kappa, to the land dwellers like Kitsune’s, to the sky demons called Raiju, the country of Japan has some of the most powerful and also clever creatures ever to grace the earth. Hagrid himself would be giddy with joy for years on end if he would catch a glimpse of the magical/mythical beings that made the ones back at Hogwarts just seem tame by comparison.   Right now, Tokyo was undergoing repairs due to the incidents of Godzilla and Mecha-King Ghidorah. People were wondering on when the King of the Monsters would be destroyed or at least contained. Many believed that Godzilla could not be destroyed, but others insisted that he could. Regardless, the big monster did some good for the citizens. Back in 1985, shortly after Godzilla’s second rampage in the city (his first back in 1954), they erected a museum of sorts that was dedicated to the giant lizard and to all of those that lost their lives to him. Now, they would have more memorials to the ones that lost their lives in fighting the behemoth.   As the people worked hard to rebuild their city, several commercial airplanes were coming into Tokyo International Airport. One carrying two special persons that would change the course of history, another carrying such a person from France that was on its way to Kyoto. By boat from Russia, two women were coming into Sapporo that would help the others in their tasks soon. These five humans were from Europe and would forever change the face of their country! Who are these people? They would be Harry James Black-Potter, Nymphadora Tonks, Narcissa Black, Bellatrix Black, and Fleur Delacour. Get ready Japan, for you are about to teach these five your ways that will help them save their world!   (Authors Notes: Short I know, but so am I on time with college work and all.
