《Godzilla: Legend Begins》Chapter 16
Advertisement
The first thing Jesse noticed when she started to wake up was the coldness. The second thing was something restraining her wrists and legs and that she was sitting in a chair. The only light came from above her and it was rather dark beyond the beam of light. She could hardly make out the two people that was standing on either side of her as well as the one in front of her.
"I see you're finally awake." stated the man in front of her as he walked closer. Dr. Yusaka nodded over to the two men who nodded back and walked somewhere in the room, opening the door, walking out and shutting it.
"You must be Jesse Hudson." Yusaka continued. "The self-proclaimed Kaijuologist. It's a wonder how you ever kept that site up. Most of what you wrote is all speculation, not facts."
"Who are you?" Jesse questioned, ignoring what he was saying. Yusaka didn't seem to mind much.
"Ah, yes, where are my manners? My name is Doctor Gamu Yusaka." The man smirked slightly. "I'm sure you already know my friend, here."
His hand got into his pocket and pulled a small remote out and pointed it to the wall in front of them and pressed a button. Jesse could hear something, a panel, sliding before the monitor burst to life. It was staticy at first but it soon cleaned up and on the monitor was an inside of the cave, colored green from the night vision. She could guess that the camera was high up, perhaps hanging from the ceiling. She was confused at what she was seeing. That confusing cleared up, however, when she noticed the pool of water that was half of the screen started to move and churn.
She felt dread as a familiar fin came through the bubbling and churning water before the fin was followed by a very familiar head.

"Allow me to properly introduce my greatest creation: Titanosaurus." Yusaka smiled in pride. "I hope you remembered him from your first encounter on that island. He certainly remembered you. You riled him up quite a bit."
The kaiju walked onto land and his jaws opened in a wide, soundless yawn.
"Titanosaurus is a result of combining a marine creature with the first Godzilla's cells and nuclear radiation. Such a beautiful creature isn't he?"
"You're absolutely crazy." Jesse stated, finally finding her voice.
"The correct term is ambitious...also vengeful. You see, the scientific community laughed my father out of it because of everything he was working on. They lead him to his death and now, with my creation, I will make them all pay. Now, I have something to ask you." He turned towards her. "I know you have a way to bring Godzilla anywhere you want. Lead him into Tokyo. If you do, you'll be free to go."
"Why do you want me to do that?"
"To kill two birds with one stone."
Jesse stared at him for a long moment before shaking her head. "Sorry, not happening."
"Think about your freedom." Yusaka tried to persuade her. "You do want it, don't you?"
"Forget it. I won't lead him into your fucked up plan."
"So unwise. I didn't want to do this but..." The scientist trailed off before walking over to the door and opening it, stepping outside. Two Russian man stepped inside a moment later, heading straight to Jesse and stopped in front of her. The sound of the door shutting reached her ears and she could see one man raising a fist before swinging it down across Jesse's face and all she knew was blinding pain.
Kanto looked at the paper that he held in his hand, eyes running over the numbers before looking up and at the door numbers. He walked down the hall, glancing down at the paper and back at the doors before stopping at one. Once he made certain that it was the right door, he raised a fist and knocked steadily four times before waiting.

Five seconds passed, twenty seconds, then a minute. His fingers tightened around the piece of paper as his frustration started to build by each passing minute. He knew that as time went on, it would be more time of Jesse being in someone's hands.
He lifted a fist to knock again, the door swung open and a man was standing there, regarding him with blue eyes. He had brown hair that went to his shoulders and he wore a black t-shirt and ripped blue jeans.
"Can I help you, buddy?" questioned the man who doesn't seem too keen on visitors now.
"Are you Benny?"
"Depends on who's asking."
"I'm General Kanto Naraka." Kanto introduced himself. "I'm a friend of Jesse Hudson. I was coming here with her when something happened."
Benny's eyes widened. "What? What happened? Where is she?"
Kanto went silent for a long moment, making Benny shift in his spot, before taking a deep breath. "She was taken just before we got into the airport. I don't know by who or why. She made sure to give me a piece of paper that has your address on it."
"Course she did." Benny sighed as he rubbed the back of his head. "I'm guessing she told you about our project?"
Kanto nodded and Benny step to the side, allowing Kanto to walk inside the apartment and Kanto was caught off guard by the sight of the living room. It has essentially been converted into a work room. The couch was against the far wall and a smallish TV sitting at the opposite wall. There was a workbench where the coffee table would be with equipment all around it. On the said work bench was a device that looked like a hand-held rocket launcher with some type of dish on the muzzle instead of the standard muzzle.
"That," Benny started when he saw Kanto eyeing the device in confusion. "Would be our project. I'm guessing she explained all of that?"
"Yeah, she did."
"Did she tell you the reason why we didn't get passed this prototype?"
Kanto paused, thinking back. "She said about it being financial troubles."
"Well, that is one reason but it's not the only one. We went to Japan to see if we could get funding. It would become a new type of anti-kaiju weapon. We were in the process of negotiating when an emergency arose. We got back to America and it wasn't even two hours after we got home when two agents knocked on our door. They shut us down and gave us a bullshit excuse. They said that we were making unnecessary weapons of mass destruction. We tried to reason with them, but they confiscated everything- well, almost everything. Thank god they didn't get their hands on the Prototype C schematics."
"They didn't see it as a kaiju-defense weapon?"
"Nope. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if they used it for their own purpose."
"Would they really do that?"
"Who knows. I wouldn't put it passed them." Benny shrugged before walking over to the workbench. "I still have to work on the power system. It should take at least a week."
"We don't have a week. We need to go it operational as soon as we can." Kanto stated impatiently. He didn't like how long it would take, not one bit. "Who knows what Jesse's going through at this instant."
"You seem awfully concerned about her." Benny stated, eyeing Kanto with a look.
"Well, of course. She is my charge and friend."
"Whatever you say." Benny hummed and skillfully began to work, leaving Kanto to watch him with slight confusion.

I can no longer stick to a specific release schedule, so the chapters will be released once the entire arc is done, which implies long hiatus periods between arcs. About the tags: Although there are game elements, there are absolutely not the focus of the story so this isn't exactly a LitRPG.
