Destroy All Monsters [Godzilla One Shot]

A long time ago, they threw all of their reason into a fire.


They threw away their conscience.


Their souls.

All in that terrible moment.

"Sir! Sonar is picking something up-Oh God! It's him!"

And they had the audacity to act surprised when the fire they started began to burn them in turn.

"Scramble all units! Don't let him reach the city!"



"The bridge has collapsed! Ar-Are you getting this on camera?"



"As a scientist, I find your theories to be, bluntly, ridiculous, Mr. Yamane. Godzilla is a simple creature, no more intelligent then a parrot."


This is mankind.


"The idea that he is as self aware as you or me, much less deliberately attacking cities out of a desire for revenge, is completely preposterous."

This is the dominant species.

"General, there are buses that haven't evacuated the city, we need to-"

No more.

"I don't care if a few dozen unlucky bastards didn't get to the shelters! Commence bombardment!"


"Alright, guys get your bats! Everyone's distracted with the big lizard, let's smash those windows and get inside the store while the owner's away!"

Perhaps they really do need a God to punish them.

"Entire platoon destroyed-"

"How the hell is it doing this, it's just an animal-"

Sometimes, when I look over the ashes, the fires I create, I hesitate.

Then I remember what they did, and I know I can't stop.

"Atomic Breath charging-


"Projected targe-He's aiming at the base!"


"How the hell does it know where we are-"


"Brace for impact-"

I will never stop.

"Oh God everything's burning we're in hell we're in hell-"

"If you fucks had just followed orders, none of this would have happened-"

An earthshaking roar silenced the voices.


Then, in the darkness, there is a shaft of light.



I will never stop punishing them.



Not until every last one of them is gone.





Not until I destroy all monsters.

I like what you did with the title and last line. It really worked well for me.

thanks for writing.

 

Kind of confusing?
