Year: 2021

Godzilla's POV

I suddenly awoke from a nightmare. It'd been years since I fought the MUTOs. I've fought many monsters since then; Manda, Ghidorah, Rodan, Kong. I expected it to be about Kong, considering I just killed him last year.

(Yes, in the expanded Monsterverse, Godzilla kills Kong.)

But no.
The nightmare was all too familliar.

the rain.

the thunder.

the blood.

the MUTO's claws pounding me into the ground, hitting me in my only weak spot, the gills. They were relentless, and if it weren't for the random explosion in their nest, the MUTOs would have killed me. They were a nasty couple, the MUTOs.

I recollected my mind, and brought myself back into the present. A squid swam past my eyes, and gave me a strange look, like, what is Godzilla doing at the bottom of the ocean?  I ate it, and felt a little better. I swam up to the surface of the ocean, and backstroked across the wave's surface, then floated there for a second, considering my options. Who to go to in this situation?

Rodan was distant, and he normally hung out in the skies. If he wasn't there, he was on top of Fuji, or Everest, both of which were places I can't get to easily. Besides, Rodan has a fiery attitude, and he wasn't much of a consultant.

Mothra was nice, and we have a solid relationship, and while she wants it to be romantic, I don't quite want to yet... besides, a moth dating a lizard? heh... the awkwardness in that. While Mothra is like the "mother" of our group, and we always go to her when we have problems. She's resting right now in China, and while I know she'd be happy to see me, getting to China from the middle of the Pacific ocean? That'd be a hell of a journey, and I'd attract too much attention.

Anguirus. We've known each other since we were both very young. He understands me more than anyone else, and he's not too far away. Last time I saw him, he was napping on the southern shores of Japan. that's where I'd find him.

I begun to swim towards Japan. since I swim rather fast, I reached the shores fairly quickly, and low and behold, there was Anguirus, still napping.

"Hey Anguirus." I said, laying my nose on the shoreline.

He didn't budge.

"ANGUIRUS!" I roared, and he jumped awake, ready to fight, until he realized it was me.

(To people, it just sounds like they're roaring.)

"Oh, Godzilla." he said calmly. "long time no see, eh?" I nodded. "I need your help with something." I said to him. "Sure, anything, old friend." he responded.

"I had a bad dream again."

"what was it this time? Ghidorah? Kong?"

"No. The MUTOs."

"Really? It's been a long time since you fought them."

"I know. That's why I had to find someone to talk to."

"Why didn't you go to Mothra?"

"I was going to, but, she's in the middle of China, man. Imagine the attention I'd attract."

"True. So why me, then?"

"We're practically brothers, dude. Plus, I haven't seen you in a while."

"Yeah..."

We sat there for a moment, silent. I noticed a human sitting on a hill behind us, filming with his cell phone. I locked eyes with him and snorted, and he ran off, screaming.
"So...What do you make of it?" I asked.

"I don't know what to think." He responded. "I think since we've already had a short, friendly conversation, you should feel a little better. Do you?"

I nodded. "A little."

a pause.

"Do you have anything to eat?" I asked. "I'm starving."
Anguirus chuckled. "You're always starving, my friend..."
