Howdy ya'll!

With the new King of the Monsters movie that came out, my interest in Godzilla has been revitalized! I'll be posting my short stories for my own little Godzilla storyline here. This doesn't really take place in a specific universe. It's more or less a combination of all of them.

I hope you enjoy! And for all my MHA fans, yes, Dance of Darkness is still coming out. I'm just working on this on the side while I come up with each progressing chapter.

Atomic Flavored Fish

"Godzilla?"

The sound of waves beating on the beach and seagulls soaring above caught Godzilla's ears as he woke up. He smelled the salty ocean and could feel the warm sand beneath him. Something bumped against his head. He groaned and curled up tighter.

"C'mon, it's morning already!" Godzilla recognized Anguirus's voice, "lets grab breakfast."

"Not now…"'Godzilla rolled over, "I'm not willing to hunt."

"No need! Rodan caught a big batch of whales, and he's sharing."

Godzilla yawned and sat up. He scratched the back of his head and smacked his lips.

"Alright, but I'm going back to sleep after this," he stood up, stretching his legs like a giant cat.

"You know, for the King of the Monsters, you sure do sleep a lot more than the rest of us," Anguirus mocked, "what will we do if the island's attacked and your too busy catching your beauty sleep?"

"Oh please, you guys can handle yourselves," he sighed as he stood up straight, "plus you've got Mothra."

"Yeah, and thank goodness she isn't as lazy as you," Anguirus turned and began walking, "now c'mon. The others are waiting."

Godzilla followed as Anguirus led Godzilla back to the center of Monster Island.

"King Caesar took a couple others out to visit Kong on Skull Island, so it's just us three, Mothra, and Baragon. Gorosaurus is out looking after his mate. Rodan offered to give her some of his whale, but he outright refused to take anything. Said he'd look after his family himself."

"Guess that happens when you've got kids on the way," Godzilla shrugged and smiled at Anguirus, "Speaking of which, how's that going with you and Baragon?"

"Aw c'mon dude, don't bring that up," Anguirus groaned and Godzilla laughed, "I hear it enough from her everyday," Angurius changed his voice to a mocking imitation of his mate, "I want pups! I want pups!" He huffed and shook his head, "I swear, every night she won't let me sleep until we've...well...tried. Usually more than once…"

"You lucky dog," Godzilla patted his friends spiked back, "be lucky you have a mate at all. Some of us aren't so lucky."

They made it to the center of the island where the others were waiting. Baragon ran over to her mate and nuzzled him. Mothra flew over and landed on Godzilla's head.

"Morning sleepyhead," she chirped.

"How's the Island?"

"Aside from Komodithrax on the verge of birth any day now, it's been pretty uneventful. No signs of human poachers or hostile monsters."

"Good to hear," Godzilla grinned at her, "and how about you?"

"I'm OK," she tapped his head, "although I'd prefer to do my patrols with my King. It gets kinda lonely without my oversized lamp."

Godzilla chuckled.

"I'll make sure to get up earlier tomorrow," he promised.

"Excuse me, your majestys," Rodan squawked, "but if you don't mind, I'd rather eat these whales before they start rotting."

"Of course," Godzilla walked over. He pauses, and his face contorted in a bizarre fashion. Mothra looked down at him and gasped as she quickly jumped off.

"Everyone stay back!"

The other monsters hollered and jumped back before Godzilla let out a massive sneeze of blue atomic breath.

"ACHOO!"

Unfortunately, the blue fire caught and seared the whales. Rodan let out a cry of distress as he flew over to them.

"NO! MY WHALES!" he growled at Godzilla with a death stare, "you stupid, overgrown, pyromaniacal lizard! Do you have any idea how lucky I got with this catch!? I knew I shouldn't have invited you!"

"My bad," Godzilla sniffed and rubbed his nose, "Good thing I wasn't hungry."

"But we all were, jackass!" Rodan squawked.

"Aw man," Anguirus pouted, "I was really looking forward to this…"

"Now hold on a second everyone, maybe it's not ruined," Mothra landed next to the whales, "I've seen humans holding their prey over fires before. Maybe there's a reason for that."

"Are you sure Mothra?" Baragon questioned, "maybe that's only good for humans…"

Everyone watched curiously as Mothra tried a small bite. There was a moment of silent anticipation that lasted for an eternity. Her antenna stood up as she let out a sound of pure delight.

"This is...superb!" she eagerly took another large bite.

"Yeah right," Rodan huffed and took a bite, "how could it possibly...

His eyes widened in utter disbelief. Immediately, he dug into the meal.

"I'll forgive you this once Godzilla!" he said with a full mouth.

Anguirus and Baragon joined in. Godzilla walked over and took a small bite. He didn't seem impressed.

"I don't get it…" he said, "what's so great about it? Half my meals taste like this."

"It must be because you hunt half of them with your breath," Mothra wiped her mouth with her claws.

"Hold on a second!" Rodan burped, "you mean to say you knew about this, and you never bothered telling anyone!?"

"Didn't really think about it," Godzilla shrugged, "sorry I guess."

"I'm bringing my prey to you from now on, and you're burning it." Rodan spike with a full mouth.

"My atomic breath isn't meant for flavor enhancement," Godzilla crossed his arms, "get your own atomic breath."

Rodan was about to protest, but then his eyes lit up and he smiled.

"You know what? I think I will get atomic breath! And it'll be ten times as powerful cooler than yours!"

"Suite yourself, but I think that's something you have to inherit,"'Godzilla yawned and started walking back, "I'm going back to bed."

Rodan growled as the giant lizard walked away.

"Inherit huh?" Rodan thought to himself, "I'll show you, you stupid lizard. Nothing can hold back the Sky Demon of Terror!"

"And so that was when I started training for my Atomic Breath!" Fire Rodan smiled at King Caesar and King Kong.

The two looked at each other, completely unimpressed.

"That was the lamest origin story for an ability that I've ever heard," Kong said, "is that seriously it?"

"Hey piss off!" Fire Rodan squawked, "I trained like hell for this power!"

"So you could cook fish?"

"And burn my enemies!"

"...but more importantly, cooking fish."

Fire Rodan groaned with frustration and covered his face with a wing.

"You guys are missing the point of the story."

"You do realize there are other ways to cook things without atomic breath, right?" Kong added, "I mean really, I could've shown you how to make a fire with a stick and some-

"Alright you know what? Screw this, you ruined it," Fire Rodan turned and flew away, "you ruined it, and I'm leaving."

While he flew, Kong shouted at him,

"Also, you're a giant flying dinosaur! Can't you just hold it over a volcano?"

King Caesar laughed, and Fire Rodan seethed in anger.
