Chapter 1: Approach of hell.

Kyoto, Japan. 1999.
Kyoto had once been the capital of Japan and even after the transfer of that status to Tokyo during the time of the shoguns; the ancient city remained a capital of old Japan as well as a cultural center. It had escaped from the horrors of World War II or so the residents thought at the time. Now the survivors of the horrendous air raids of 1945 admitted that the sight of Kyoto on fire reminded them very clearly of the fates Tokyo and other cities during the ending phases of World War II. Only this time, two monsters from a civilization of Earth’s long forgotten past had been responsible for the horror that now swept through the area.

In the middle of the firestorm stood one of the enormous creatures partially responsible for the destruction as if waiting for more unwanted visitors to show up. The kaiju resembled a huge turtle transformed into a huge demon with a sharp jagged shell, large tusks, razor sharp claws, and dark black eyes.

The monster surveyed the destruction and his face showed a twinge of sadness. Despite having no links to any human personally, the monster still felt a link to humanity as a whole and a need to ensure its survival. Whether it was due to the programming of his creators, it really didn’t matter since the monster felt that it had a duty to fulfill no matter the odds or the outcome of the approaching battle.

The monster seemed to look out at the night sky as if for the last time before the flames encircled the creature in the hope of adding another victim to a very long list. Instead, it rose like a phoenix into the night sky towards the Pacific Ocean as if rendezvousing with destiny.

Within the ruins of Kyoto train station, four humans watched the departing monster as it disappeared from sight. One of them, Dr. Nagamine turned to one of the others and asked, “Do you think that Gamera has a chance against the Gyaosâ€

Chapter 2: First line of defense.

Skies over Japan:
The skies of Japan filled with the sounds of jet engines screaming in at full throttle. From as far the eye could see every Japanese military aircraft that could fly had formed up into formation with the E-767 and E-2 AWACS and aircraft taking up the rear.

On the ground and water, military units positioned every anti-aircraft weapon they could get their hands on at every conceivable point. They ranged from machine guns to Patriot missiles. At sea, all four Kongo class destroyers, armed with the advanced Aegis radar defense system, sailed up to positions east of Japan with SM-2 missiles ready to launch.


Maritime Defense Command:
In the Maritime Defense Command Center, everyone watched the enormous radar screens as swarm of Gyaos closed in on the aerial defense line. They wondered out loud if any of the other nations would assist or they would face this threat alone along with the assistance of the turtle monster known as Gamera. From the radar screen, it seemed that the Gyaos swarm would slam into a wall of steel with Gamera arriving from the south to assist.

As they watched the screen, both generals nodded in confirmation of what was to happen next as Otani picked up a phone which linked with Air Defense Command, “All long range missile batteries are to commence an attackâ€

Chapter 3: Firefights over Japan.

Maritime Command:

The room erupted into a scene of pandemonium and panic as the radar screens clearly showed the Gyaos swarm still heading towards Japan. The combined strength of their forces and the monster Gamera was not enough to inflict any severe damage and now both were scattering to hidden places to regroup.

Technicians and other soldiers rushed to remove any needed equipment while several others continued to monitor the battle and relay information to the commanders in the room. Meanwhile, the commanders watched icily as the many red dots continued to move ever closer to the Eastern Japanese coast.

Both Generals Otani and Takagi watched the scene before them with grave apprehension. They had thrown in their best and even with the assistance of Gamera, the Gyaos creatures were undeterred in their advance and soon would be over Japanese airspace. While the air units were eager to re-engage the swarm, they would need help and fast. Already, the American air units in Japan and on Okinawa had radioed in their desire to help and despite the anger both generals felt at the lack of inaction by their fellow neighbors, they immediately acquiesced to the request with the support of the Prime Minister Nagahara.

Suddenly, an aide ran up to them and said to them, “Sir, the rest of the personnel have been already evacuated to the emergency shelters, the car is waiting to transport you to the shelter where the joint chiefs and the cabinet areâ€

Personal note: Sorry for taking a long while but my other stories as well as other matters required my attention.

Now onto the resumption of the Gamera fanfic.

Chapter 4: Regroup and deliberations.

United Nations, New York City:
Despite the news that the Gyaos creatures had congregated on Japan, there were patches of Gyaos creatures still operating in different areas of the world. This fact had persuaded the air forces of the world to patrol the skies over their principal cities while positioning anti-aircraft weapons down on the streets below.

This proved particularly important in the case of New York for it was the headquarters of the United Nations. At this very moment, the world organization was conducting a meeting between its member nations to coordinate the response to the Gyaos and Gamera crisis. Fighters patrolled in the skies over the great cities while Patriot missile batteries positioned in the streets, the launchers aimed skyward.

As a limousine traveled to the UN, its occupant, Japanese ambassador Shintaro Okino felt little safe as he looked through the latest reports from his homeland and the news made his mission much more important. He turned to face his associates and said, “If there is one question we have to ask, it would be attempting to truly convince the rest of the world that it would be in their best interest to assist usâ€

Chapter 5: Extraction

Outer Space above Japan:
As the satellites orbited over Japan, their cameras started to take numerous pictures of the island nation. After that, they transmitted the information to stations all over the globe where the people there processed the information before transmitting it to Tokyo. Once the Prime Minister and the generals received the information, their faces paled at the images of the map.

All four islands contained enormous black patches, which symbolized a gathering of Gyaos creatures. Surrounding the islands via maintaining a distance of several hundred kilometers or more were scores of warships from all nations in the Pacific. Interspersed among the blockade were civilian ships attempting to escape from Japan with as many refuges they could save.

After looking at the images, Prime Minister Nagahara turned to the generals and asked, “Can they find the number of Gyaos for each of the islandsâ€

Chapter 6: Research and overhaul

Underground command Center, Tokyo
As she observed the tissue samples of the Gyaos creatures through a very powerful scanner, Nagamine wiped some sweat off her brow before peering back at the samples. After looking for any loose ends, she then turned to one of her assistants and said, “You can try it nowâ€

Chapter 7: Countdown to Counter-Offensive

Underground command center, Tokyo:
As he finished up some paperwork, Prime Minister Matsumoto rubbed his eyes as he felt the strain of the last few weeks catch up to him once again. Ever since the crisis began and he moved into the underground complex, Matsumoto felt as if he entered a prison. Already several people had succumbed to madness while others were forced to take breaks every few hours. The only few times anyone could move outside and above ground would be when the military would make a supply run to the area and they only had a window of a few minutes before they had to scuttle back inside or die at the hands of the Gyaos.

So busy with his own thoughts and the work in front of him, it took time for the Prime Minister to notice the aide waiting at the door. When Matsumoto saw the aide, he asked somewhat annoyed, “What is itâ€

Chapter 8: Lighting up the shadows of the night.

Underground Command Center, Tokyo, Japan
Late evening
For the past three weeks, the military staffs throughout the world struggled to put together a workable plan. A combination of the list of problems they would face in pulling it off, the nature of the threat, and the politics had forced the staffs to revise the plans several times over bitter arguments. After multiple revisions and long nights, the staffs had now come up with a plan that they could all agree with and now they had to convince their respective superiors.

As the command staff of the JSDF headed towards the conference room they all had grim looks and small circles around their eyes as they considered the briefing that they were about to give to their audience. After several moments of uneasy quiet, Koga commented, “If we had this much trouble trying to convince ourselves that what we’ve planned here is necessary then trying convincing the Prime Minister and the other heads of stateâ€
