Chapter 1. Waking up
SKKKKEEEEEEEOOOOOOONNNNNKKKKKKKK!!!!
The sound of Godzilla’s roar woke me from my dream. My vision and hearing were slowly coming back to me as I hear the faint sounds of my name being called.
“LOGAN!”
“LOGAN!”
I heard it over and over and then I realized I wasn’t in my room anymore. I didn’t know where I was at first. It was dark and I could barely move. Then a loud explosion snapped me out of my daze and I started struggling to break free. I tilted my head down and saw one of my toy dinosaurs, I finally realized I was still in my room but the roof fell on me.
“LOGAN! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME SAY SOMETHING!”
I identified the voice calling for me to be my dad. I struggled to escape this trap that was once my room. Finally after what felt like hours, I used all my strength I had to break out my arm that was under some debris. I started to move some of the rubble out of the way but there’s only some much a 12 year can do. Dust fell in my face, got in my mouth and eyes as I started to move bits of pieces of what was once my room. When I felt like I moved enough out of my way, I started screaming for my fathers attention.
“Dad! Dad I’m over here” I shouted at the top of my lungs.
“I heard him over here! LOGAN! Keep shouting son! I can hear you!”
I felt hope in my heart, I’m gonna get out of here. I raised my by my mouth and started screaming again.
“DAD! IM OVER HERE PLEASE! PLEASE DAD SAVE ME—
SKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKK!
The sound of Godzilla drowned out my cries for help. I felt the earth rattle with each step he took. My heart skips a beat whenever his literal being moves. Along with Godzilla is jets zooming nearby, guns be used, and explosions going off and to top it all off, the sounds of another titan out there, battling Godzilla. It sounds like utter chaos and honestly I’m not sure if I want to see it.
SKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOONNNNNNNKKKKKKK!
I once again heard his powerful roar as the debris above me started to move out of the way. Muffled sounds of “keep digging! Keep digging”! can be heard. I got so overwhelmed with joy I started to cry.
“Dad!”
“Logan!”
“I’m here!”
“I got you son!”
Suddenly my dad came into view. I could see his short blonde hair and blue eyes. He’s still wearing his “Best Buy” uniform as he does part time there just so he isn’t doing nothing all his life as he put it. As he saw me I saw a huge smile grow on his face, I couldn’t help but smile right back at him. We must of had a look of relief as the soldiers finished moving all the debris out of the way. I tried to get up to hug my dad but I felt a sharp pain in my leg, I looked down at my left leg to see a long rod sticking out. The rod went straight through the bone and there’s no way I’m moving on my own.
When you see something like this happen to you, you don’t believe it right away, and then once you expect it; you start to ask questions to yourself on how life will be after this. I’m looking at this piece of long metal protruding out of my leg and I’m wondering if I’m ever gonna play soccer again? Has my life changed physically from this point on? Do I need a wheelchair forever?
SKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEOOOONNNKKKK!
Being snapped out of my trance, I looked up and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was Godzilla but fighting a mountain sized three-headed-dragon! This thing towered over Godzilla, it’s wingspan alone could swallow him whole. It had two tails and golden skin. I watched in fear but in awe as Godzilla turned around and whacked all three heads in the face with his submarine sized tail. The three-headed-beast fell backwards leaving Godzilla still standing tall over him. Godzilla’s fins turned bright blue as he fired his blue fire breath at the golden monster. Lands a direct hit and the creature lets out a painful cry. The titan lifts its massive wings up and shoots its self in the air. I felt a hand grab my shoulder, I turned my head to see my mom with tears in her eyes, she hugged me as she let her tears fall down her cheeks.
She turned her attention to my leg and I swear I heard a thousand hearts break at once as she let out a gut-wrenching whine of grief. Before she could do anything my dad pulled her away because I needed space to breath and isn’t much she can do. I saw my dad try to calm her down by a military HMV. I looked around where I was able to move without hurting my leg. The house I once called home was completely annihilated, it wasn’t just my room after all. Nothing at all was recognizable, and from where I was sitting I can see keys from our piano laying on the ground. No piano in sight though, so it must of been crushed or something. Suddenly a black ambulance arrives right a cross from me; the double back doors open and out was two EMTs with a stretcher running towards me. I noticed immediately it wasn’t a traditional ambulance at all. It was black like I mentioned but also had “MONARCH” right on the side of the vehicle. They didn’t ask any questions, they immediately loaded me on the stretcher and it hurt like all hell.
The pain came in waves through out my body, I started to feel so sick to my stomach. I put my gaze back on my mom, she’s still wearing her glasses and her dirty blonde hair is wrapped in a bun. My mother is a teacher at the high school, Stanfill High. I couldn’t hear what’s she’s saying to my dad, however, I can see fear and great concern on her face. My father gives her a huge hug to comfort her, that reminded me how awesome parents they are. They’ve been married for fifteen years now, and I can see there passion and love for each other. So many thoughts entered and exited my mind at once. I began to remember early memories of my life, like when I fell off my bike and broke my wrist. I laid in pain for what felt like hours alone. What amazes me still to this day is somehow my mom knew I was in trouble and came to my aid immediately. She says it was her “Mother Instincts” that told her I was in pain. I believe her but on the other hand I think she was watching me some now.
Another memory is with my dad when my little sister was soon to be born. I was very scared that they weren’t gonna love anymore when she’s born. He laughed at me which made me mad but then he told me: “the love we have for you is infinite and I understand you how you might feel. You don’t want things to change, the honest truth is nobody likes change. However, sometimes it’s for the better and other times you may never know the reason. I guarantee you this, me and your mother will always love you and that will never change.”
My little sister died at birth, it damaged all of us but we got stronger because of it. I ask myself always what was the reason for it? Why couldn’t she be born?
A bright blue light brought me out of my thoughts and back into the present. I turned my attention to Godzilla who is blasting the three-headed-monstrosity with his blue fire. I got my answer. She wasn’t born because she wasn’t supposed to see this. I then noticed a bright white light above the the three-headed-creature that Godzilla was keeping at bay with his ray. The light got brighter and brighter! It’s as if the gates of heaven have been opened! Out from the stormy clouds was a giant butterfly creature! It stuck the three-headed-beast to a building, one of the heads managed to free itself and tried to free the rest of itself but Godzilla plowed the devil right through the massive building like it was a sand castle. The colossal butterfly creature circling around to attack the three headed golden dragon when it was intercepted by another flying creature. This one was red and resembled pterodactyl. It had what appeared to have lava losing out of its scales. Four giant monsters in one battle, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s one thing to see this stuff in movies, video games, comics, books, or to hear about it, however, it’s different to actually experience it, hear it, see it, or even to smell the destruction and chaos. It’s all right here in front of me, and my brain just cannot comprehend it all. These god-sized monsters should not exist but here they are killing each other and everyone caught in there way.
I watched as the two flying titans knocked a jet out of control, headed right for us.
