With Godzilla '54 guiding him, Spirit Godzilla thunders into the soon-to-be blood soaked arena, letting loose a soul-shaking roar that reverberates in the ears of all around him. A challenge, to any kaiju that might dare stand up to him.

[Perfect Chaos Zero]

As the earth-shaking roar of the possessed saurian faded into a distant echo, leaving nothing but the stunned silence of the audience...another cry did indeed answer Spirit Godzilla's challenge. But it wasn't the feral scream of another great beast, or even a sudden cry of terror from one panicking bystander...it was an utterly inhuman, soul-rending howl of agony and despair, so deep and massive that it too caused the ground to tremble: it seemed in fact as if the earth itself was wailing in pain and strife.

The rumbling didn't cease...it only grew heavier and more intense, even as the last desperate cry of the planet faded away. All of a sudden, the ground split apart in a massive faultline rupture, and a pale greenish glow began to emanate from the wound in the earth. Spirit Godzilla backed away in growing confusion, and the crowds gathered to watch this spectacle remained deathly silent.

The planet screamed a shrill cry of agony once again as the quaking increased nearly twofold and the huge rupture in the ground began to widen even further...glowing, sparkling tendrils of pale green energy began to snake and drift their way from some unknown source deep within the earth - and then, without warning, a huge plume of bright green liquid erupted from the fault like magma from the maw of a volcano...a huge, dark shape could vaguely be made out within the glowing substance.

With a bursting splash, the figure emerged from the plume of liquid--and announced itself in a powerful, thunderous roar as the mysterious substance cascaded and fell away from it, and then promptly retreated back into the rupture in the earth. Then, even more strangely, the glow from within the fault began to fade, and the ground itself began to slowly seal back up, as the massive figure slowly drifted down to the surface. It appeared to be some unnatural cross between a dragon and a centaur, with four legs, two arms, a pair of powerful wings, and a sort of curved beak covering its jaws.

At that moment...it started slow, very nearly faded before it could build up, but applause and cheers gradually began to swell and spread through the audience - most likely coming from fans of the game Final Fantasy 7 - as they identified the challenger: Ultimate Weapon, one of several beasts birthed by the Planet itself to protect the Lifestream. And, true to its nature, Weapon paid the onlookers no mind, even as some crowds of people who disliked Final Fantasy 7 started getting into rather heated fights with the more zealous fans...they were none of its concern. Right now, its piercing glare focused wholly on the saurian beast before it, and the demon inside that sought to harvest the souls of the Lifestream.

The will of the Planet pulsed within Weapon's blood...and now, its will demanded that this beast be stopped, at any cost.

[DinoHunter2]

Slith suddenly dropped from the sky, dropping onto the crowd of villagers with an earthshaking crash. The hideous alien cocked it's featureless, pod like head, "staring" at Weapon, and then Godzilla. It's head suddenly peeled open, splitting into four fang-covered jaws as it loosed an otherwordly scream.

(Short-and-sweet version: I used Quake to smack Spirit Godzilla in the jaw with a rock pillar, then jumped on top of him and gave him a few punches and headbutts to the face(combo)...then launched him high into the air where I zapped him with a Thunderball; and now I'm waiting for him to crash into the ground while he's rather literally spazzing out.)



---



Ultimate Weapon uttered a low, menacing growl, clenching his claws tight as he shifted position ever so slightly...eyes glancing back and forth between Spirit Godzilla, the enemy he had come to face; and this repulsive new arrival to the battlefield. Another winged monstrosity like himself, but without arms and walking on what looked more like a spider's jointed spines than actual legs. And its mouth...four separate jaws arranged in what disturbingly resembled the petals of a blooming flower surrounding the central orifice. Weapon could sense even without seeing this beast that it was not of this world, but its hideous appearance only reinforced the fact.

Though not exactly enthused by the prospect of having to face both these aberrations at once, Weapon would not back down from its sworn duty to defend the precious lifeblood that flowed throughout this world. It would throw itself headlong against a hundred of these beasts and be torn to pieces in scant seconds before it ever considered retreat, or surrender.

The great dragon lowered into something of a crouch, tensing its right arm with fist pointed toward the sky...as it closed its eyes and focused its power, the earth began to tremble once again, sending some onlookers panicking and running for their lives. Rippling green waves of power began to exude from Weapon's form, and soon its entire body took on a pale green glow, the same as the Lifestream from which it had emerged earlier...

Then, its body pulsed a quick flash - and Weapon abruptly threw an uppercut with his braced arm. In time with his punch, a massive pillar of rock and earth erupted upward with equal velocity and force, and punched the hapless Spirit Godzilla square on the jaw. The blow knocked the creature sprawling to the ground, where its jagged spines partially sank into the ground and kept it from easily getting back up.

Weapon lowered its arm, the glow enveloping its body faded, and the pillar of earth retreated back to the depths. He took a second to give a warning glare to the alien monstrosity, Slith...then turned and leaped over to the dazed saurian, crouching astride its fallen body. The dragon could sense its hollow eyes still trying to focus on him, in spite of the blow it had just taken...and he gave it no chance to recover and muster a counter-attack as he raised his arm and delivered a hefty right hook to the side of its face. Spittle flew as the possessed demon's head smacked against the ground from the blow, but Weapon didn't relent, raising its other arm and continuing with a powerful hammerblow to the temple...then a straight punch to the corner of its jaws. It then grasped the back of the creature's head and lifted it clear of the ground, and delivered two vicious headbutts, one after another.

Now, the Planet-born monster stepped backward with its four legs, keeping hold of Spirit Godzilla's head, until the demon was hauled up into somewhat of a sitting position. Then, the centaurian dragon reared up onto its hind legs, pulling the enemy further up to a standing position...and in a further display of dexterity and agility, pumped its wings to give itself an extra boost as it leaped off its hind legs and slowly tumbled over backward in the air, so now Godzilla drifted directly above it.

Bringing all four feet up and placing them against the saurian's body as gravity began to bring them both back down, Weapon then forcefully kicked off with all fours, propelling its enemy higher into the air...and extended its arms to catch itself with some effort as it fell with considerable speed back to the ground. Falling over backward due to the awkward positioning of its body weight, the beast caught itself upon its hands, wings, and tail, then quickly rolled back over to its feet and looked upward to assess Spirit Godzilla's position: it was about at the apex of its unexpected flight, tumbling out of control and starting to flail helplessly.

Realizing that the enemy might become aware of its predicament and attempt to lessen the impact of the fall, Ultimate Weapon focused and drew upon its mana reserves again...this time, a crackling, sparking orb of pure electrical power formed in its open claw. The dragon reared up on its hind legs, wound back its arm, and hurled the orb up toward the unsuspecting Godzilla: the shot struck home, and the effect was almost immediate as the creature began jerking and spasming out of control in midair, helpless to regain control of its body while the powerful shock diffused through it.

Now, Weapon was content to stand back and watch his enemy fall from the air, awaiting the inevitable and painful crash-landing...

[yaburu]

The muscles in Spirit Godzilla's body slowly came back under his control, just in time for him to collide with the ground, sending a whole new wave of pain coursing through his body. Godzilla '54, psychicly linked to his breatherin, felt the pain he was in, and urged him to get up and counter-attack.

But Spirit Godzilla needed no urging. Just the anger and rage that drove him. He roared and unleashed a Spirit Blast at the Ultimate Weapon, striking it dead-on it's chest and pushing it back before exploding, causing the true damage. He moved in while the creature was still stunned and slammed into him with a shoulder tackle, followed by two claw rakes across the chest, each cutting into his enemy. He finalized by clasping his fists together and swinging them upward like a sledgehammer, lifting Ultimate Weapon off his feet and causing him to topple over on his side.

As soon as he was down, Spirit Godzilla opened his maw and unleashed another Spirit Beam, point blank this time. Ultimate Weapon was forced to take the full brunt of the impact, and the following explosion.

Spirit Godzilla roared in a preliminary triumph, and then turned to the other participant. With his bloodlust picking up steam Spirit Godzilla unleashed another Spirit Beam at the nearest target he saw...Slith.

[DinoHunter2]

Pushing off from the ground with it's four legs and beating the air with it's wings, Slith hopped into the sky. The incoming beam blasted harmlessly beneath him, traveling for some distance before it detonated against a hill.
Landing with a thud, Slith retaliated with a snake-like strike. It's multi-jawed mouth split open and engulfed the kaiju's head, closing shut and driving in the curved, needle-like teeth inside. Slith shook his neck and head violently, pulling the monster around and causing it's fangs to cut and pull at the flesh. With one hard pull, Slith brought the monster forward and off it's feet. Releasing it's hold, Slith watched as the bloodied-up kaiju toppled forward and hit the ground.
Crawling onto his foe, Slith hissed and spat a stream of acid at the other downed monster, Ultimate Weapon. The blast of corrosive liquid struck it's back, fizzing and smoking as it did it's work...
Still on top of Spirit Godzilla, Slith shook it's head and released a noxious cloud of mustard gas. The stinging fumes engulfed the saurian and spread, soon ctaching UW as well. Not waiting to see their effects take place, the alien monster opened it's mouth and shot out another steam of acid at Weapon...

[Perfect Chaos Zero]

Weapon winced and gritted its jaws as the corrosive substance sizzled against its back, and coughed against the noxious gas that now pervaded the air all around them. It seemed the possessed Godzilla still had plenty of fight left to spare, and the alien Slith was only going to further complicate matters...

At that moment, Weapon froze as it sensed the distinct sound of a creature hocking up to unleash a blast of spittle. Being able to guess the most likely one responsible, and having no desire to be burned further, the protector of the Planet waited a heartbeat and then sharply pushed off of both its right legs, lurching and tucking itself up as it rolled along the ground. It was only partly successful in avoiding the attack, as some of the acid still touched its wing; but quickly rolling and thrashing along the ground, it was able to scrape and sling away most of the burning liquid.

The dragon kept rolling until it sensed that it was also clear of the toxic gas, before extending its legs and rolling right up to its feet. It shook itself off, and snarled fiercely at its two enemies...then abruptly coughed and started hacking and wheezing painfully: the damnable gas must have carried a lingering effect on those who breathed it.

At least its enemy would be similarly effected.

Still, Weapon didn't want to wade back through the gas if it could be avoided. And as long as the demonic saurian lay there helplessly breathing the stuff, better to leave it so as long as possible.....so, for now, it would turn its attention to the only other viable target present.

Doing its best to ignore the irritation in its throat from the noxious fumes, Ultimate Weapon readied its wings, then leaped and ascended high into the air: from here, it had a clear view of nearly the entire arena...and as they had taken down a sizeable chunk of the rainforest-like surroundings in their efforts to kill one another, the other two beasts were clearly visible from the dragon's vantage point.

Now, targeting the one known as Slith, Weapon crossed its arms over its chest and focused. The tough plates of natural armor covering its chest - scratched and marred from Godzilla's previous attack, but still holding up - folded back and withdrew to reveal the creature's heart: a shining crimson orb of pure, precious Materia, resonating with the wisdom and will and strength of over a hundred generations of life. And now, the heart pulsed and hummed, glowing with an increasingly intense white light as it generated the great power Weapon would need to bring death to its enemies this day...

Once the charge reached its peak, the behemoth threw its arms apart and roared thunderously as it unleashed the power of Gaia herself, down upon the hapless alien parasite. Slith tried to turn and evade the oncoming blast, but it bore down too quickly and struck clean in the side. And Weapon was hardly an incompetent shot: it kept the beam carefully trained upon its target until the charge exhausted. A distant explosion consuming the enemy's cries of pain marked the success of the attack.

Now, the dragon flew closer, above the clouds of toxic gas below, to get a better view of its adversary...as the dust and smoke settled from the blast, the alien became visible in a smoldering pit at the end of a short trench, formed as the Ultima Beam had plowed its body through the earth. As the thing slowly tried to pick itself back up, Weapon first crossed its arms again and tapped its magic reserves...though not to unleash another attack this time: instead, its body began to glow with a subtle orange aura - and its wounds gradually began to mend, including the burns from Slith's acid as well as the damage suffered from Spirit Godzilla's beam and claw attacks. The spell wouldn't last forever, but it just might grant Weapon the edge it needed to achieve victory here.

This done, the beast now hovered directly above the recovering Slith, and let itself drop down from the sky, right onto the hapless creature's back. The alien cried out in surprise as it buckled under the unexpected weight, but its thick and resilient hide absorbed the brunt of the impact and spared it any serious harm. Weapon didn't allow its enemy a chance to recover and throw it off, however, as it grasped the unsightly monster's neck with one hand and held it aloft so it could not bite or use its acid, then prepared to try its claws against the relatively thinner hide of its neck...

[yaburu]

Shaking the cobwebs out, Spirit Godzilla stood back up...pissed. He looked around for the one that had caused him his pain, and saw him, along with the other kaiju, struggling with each other. Coughing and hacking from the gases, Spirit Godzilla realized that if he was going to mount any kind of offense, he had to get out of the way of the revolting cloud.

Stumbling away for a moment, and then toward both his opposition, Godzilla's eyes boiled with rage. And that rage exploded from within him in the form of a Spirit Pulse. Both Ultimate Weapon and Slith were slammed with the wave of energy, which was followed by another...and then another, and 3 more after it before Spirit Godzilla's anger boiled down.

The power and repetitiveness of the waves had knocked Ultimate Weapon off of Slith, and Godzilla sought to continue his assault, grabbing the protector of the planet by his tail and, muscles bulging, swung him away, the body of his enemy crashing into a large grouping of trees.

Spirit Godzilla turned towards Slith, the one that had released that gas. THIS one must be paid back. A Spirit Blast streaked toward the strange beast...

[DinoHunter2]

Slith shrieked and ducked down, feeling the heat from the beam as it passed over it's back and detonated a patch of rainforest behind him.

Uninterested in the prospect of waiting for another strike from his beam, Slith scrambled towards Spirit Godzilla and attacked.
The alien's jaws splayed open, revealing the creature's slimy, open esophagus- which suddenly ejected a spew of smoldering green liquid. The acidic spray engulfged the kaiju's head, misting his face with scalding, corrosive acid. The monster howled in agony and staggered back, pawing at it's face, but Slith was also uninterested in seeing how fast it could recover.

Ambling past Godzilla's side, Slith reached out with it's tails, snaring Godzilla's leg with his whips, their acid-tipped spines sticking in like barbed wire. Rushing forward, it jerked the monster's leg out from underneath him, causing him to fall forward, crashing face-first against the ground.

Turning it's attention to Weapon, Slith hissed, tilted back it's head, and spat. The vile stream of liquid arced through the sky, gaining momentum as it fell, and finally, splattered against the dragon's forehead with a satisfying splatter. The grotesque alien made an eerie, rasping gurgle- perhaps some kind of disgusting, unrecognizable form of laughter. Apparently pleased with it's shot, Slith turned back to Spirit Godzilla, looming over him with it's intimidating jaws...

[Perfect Chaos Zero]

Weapon furiously shook its head, trying to sling away the damaging acid...and when that proved not as successful as the beast hoped, it hunkered down and tried vigorously grinding and scraping its head against the earth. This succeeded in getting rid of most of the caustic substance; its regeneration spell would, hopefully, handle the damage that was already done.

Now to set about returning the favor. Lifting its head from the dissolving dirt and foliage, Weapon observed the alien Slith standing over the fallen Spirit Godzilla, all four jaws slathering as though famished. Slith proceeded to eagerly sink its teeth into its hapless foe, hungrily lapping up the blood oozing from each bite wound while the possessed saurian feebly moaned and struggled.....both of them oblivious to the Planet-born dragon behind them, raising its arms to the sky as it summoned one more incantation. A truly devastating power that, if not harnessed properly, could easily wreak destruction on a scale nigh similar to a nuclear assault.

It began when a sheer, blinding haze of light swelled up from nowhere and engulfed the entire arena. Godzilla cringed and futilely tried to shield its eyes...and even with apparently no eyes to see through, Slith could sense that something was dreadfully amiss, as it ceased chewing upon its enemy and looked around in confusion. Confusion then became alarm and aggression as the world around both monsters went from white to black in less than a second: they could feel the light swarming invisibly around them, cloaking them in a contrasting veil of shadow against the aurora of light.

Well beyond their sight or any other senses now, Ultimate Weapon threw its arms wide to finish the spell - and the air around the two luckless monsters erupted and exploded as the storming black light was ripped apart at an atomic level. They had no chance against the horrific power of the Shadow Flare, as they were blinded, burned, and blasted in every direction at once.

As the last rippling shockwaves began to subside, the blinding haze of light faded, and sight of the arena returned to normal...only to reveal the sporadically burning, kilometer-wide crater that was ground zero of the blast, as well as all the flora and fauna of the rainforest having been stripped, flattened, or simply blown to ash and cinders for well over a mile on out. And in the center of this chaos lay the bodies of Spirit Godzilla and Slith...charred, smoking, and apparently lifeless.

But Weapon knew better; it could sense the life in both of them, and knew that it was only a matter of time before they rose to continue the fight...unfortunately, the Shadow Flare drained quite a significant amount of its caster's power, such that even a beast like Weapon could not disregard it. So, it too would have to take the moment to recover.
