You just wish you could get that kind of action.

Part 40: Some Folks Are Just Unlucky

*gunfire erupts from a doorway*

DALTON: I think we found our aliens!

ZAIA: What was your first clue?!

KUJA: Cyran! Get the gun ready!

*CYRAN grunts and begins attempting to lift the Space Marine bolter*

STRAVO: So, how do we get in there?

DALTON: I don't know!

LT: We need to distract them for a couple seconds!

*a badly burned SINGULAR QUARTET limps around the corner*

QUARTET: Jesus. When I get my paws on those two-

LT: BINGO!

*HIT-MAN grabs QUARTET and hurls him through the doorway. The gunfire ceases for a moment, then resumes, along with a hideous yowl*

LT: Shit, we waited too long!

STRAVO: Give us some warning next time!

ZAIA: Cyran, are you okay?

*CYRAN is hunched over, huffing and puffing. The bolter remains on the floor*

DALTON: What's the matter with you?

CYRAN: Can't...lift...gun...

DALTON: Oh, come on, it's easy! Watch.

*DALTON hefts the bolter with one hand*

DALTON: See?

*he hands the bolter back to CYRAN, who promptly collapses*

LT: Hey, there's someone at the end of the hall!

DARK HELLION: God I'm bored.

LT: Hey you!

HELLION: Huh?

LT: Can you do me a favor?

HELLION: *brightly* Sure thing!

LT: Throw yourself through that door!

HELLION: You got it!

*he leaps into the door way and is promptly cut to shreds*

LT: Dammit, we waited too long again!

VOICE: Crap, we both ran out of ammo at the same time!

ZAIA: Go, go!

*everyone chargers through the door except CYRAN, who's still pinned by the gun*

DALTON: Oh, for-

*he comes back out, picks up CYRAN and the gun, and runs back in. CUT TO: the room as the group overwhelms two guys in snazzy suits. ROB aims CYRAN at another group of guys and pulls on his arm to get him to fire. The bolter wipes out the entire knot*

KUJA: Is that all of them?

ZAIA: Looks like it.

FGALKIN: Look what you've done!

STRAVO: Huh?

FGALKIN: You just wiped out my bodyguards!

LT: Wait a sec. You mean to tell me we just wasted all that time and a pair of possibly needed shields to attack a Russian Mafia outpost?

FGALKIN: Well, more or less.

DALTON: Shit, I thought these guys were the aliens!

ZAIA: Why'd you open fire on us?

FGALKIN: We thought you were the INS. Most of us don't have green cards.

KUJA: *sigh*

LT: So, where are the space aliens?

FGALKIN: You mean the bunch with the robot dinosaur?

LT: Yeah.

FGALKIN: They're-

KUJA: Wait a second.

FGALKIN: What?

KUJA: Did you just say robot dinosaur?

FGALKIN: Uh, yeah. What about it?

*CUT TO: The outside of the building, looking up. FGALKIN'S head suddenly bursts through the glass of a window*

KUJA: IT'S MECHAGODZILLA! SAY IT!

FGALKIN: MECHAGODZILLA! MECHAGODZILLA!

KUJA: I CAN'T HEAR YOU, RUSKIE!

FGALKIN: FOR FUCK'S SAKE, MECHAGODZILLA!

*CUT TO: inside*

CYRAN: That'll teach you to act stupid in front of a rabid Godzilla fan.

*cut back*

KUJA: Now where's the space aliens?

FGALKIN: ROOM 316! AT THE END OF THE HALL!

KUJA: You can stop screaming now.

FGALKIN: Oh, okay. Does that mean I'm forgiven?

KUJA: Nope.

*KUJA throws FGALKIN out the window and he promptly plummets forty stories down*

*cut back inside*

ZAIA: You know, I think I've run out of energy to be horrified by the things you do.

KUJA: Good thing. That'll save me some scars.

STRAVO: So, how do we get in there?

You're not daed, ver. You're just a little busy digging yourself out from the rubble of 4-5 stories of apartment building.

And exactly how much difference is there? ;P Just because the undead might be able to survive having an apartment building collapse atop them, does not mean they won't be spending more than [insert amount of time passed between then and now] trying to get out of it, apparently.

And I am sure that made very little sense. Goes to show what kind of frame of mind I'm in..

Part 41: The Godzilla Revolutions

*OPEN UP on New York City. GODZILLA and MECHAGODZILLA can be seen among the buildings. Black clouds roll in from the horizon. Lightning flashes. Thunder rumbles. CUT TO: inside the building where the group is. KUJA and CYRAN suddenly stop walking and look down. The others turn to look at them*

ZAIA: What is it?

BOTH: ...

DALTON: Hello?

BOTH: ...

LT: Christ, like we need another hitch. What gives?

*both slowly look up*

BOTH: I've got a bad feeling about this.

*the others recoil*

STRAVO: Two people saying it at once?

DALTON: Not a good sign. NOT a good sign.

ZAIA: What is it? What do you have a bad feeling about?

BOTH: I don't know.

*they both walk to the window and look out*

BOTH: Something bad is about to happen.

STRAVO: Isn't extra freaky the way they speak together like that?

ZAIA: Yeah.

BOTH: I think this is the end.

ZAIA: Will one of...both of you please tell me what the hell is going on?

BOTH: Watch.

*rain begins to pour down from the sky. GODZILLA and MECHAGODZILLA stare each other down. GODZILLA finally lets out an earth-shattering roar. As thunder crashes, he charges. MECHAGODZILLA, takes a step back and strikes GODZILLA in the back of the head just before they collide. GODZILLA tucks in and turns the fall into a forward roll. MECHAGODZILLA charges after him, but GODZILLA stands and spins just in time to block a hammer punch. Time suddenly slows as GODZILLA delivers a crushing blow to MECHAGODZILLA'S midsection. MECHAGODZILLA goes flying back, but does a flip in midair and lands on his feet. GODZILLA stands with his flank to his opponent with one hand forward, palm up. He makes a 'come and get me' gesture*

STRAVO: Matrix Godzilla. Now I've seen everything.

*MECHAGODZILLA leaps and flies forward, crashing into GODZILLA. GODZILLA falls, but uses his tail as a spring and launches them both into the air. They continue to trade blows as they both land on their feet. Epic choral music begins to emanate from somewhere*

ZAIA: Who's going to win?

DALTON: Come on, Godzilla always wins! Right, Kuja? Er…right, Cyran-Kuja?

BOTH: It's his final battle.

OTHERS: What?!

*GODZILLA hits MECHAGODZILLA with a one-two combination. MECHAGODZILLA drops and spins, but GODZILLA leaps over his tail, his own whipping through the air. They return to standing positions and resume beating the hell out of each other*

LT: Whaddaya mean?

BOTH: Godzilla can't win. He's dying.

STRAVO: Again?

BOTH: Watch.

*GODZILLA and MECHAGODZILLA lock up. GODZILLA uses his tail to sweep MECHAGODZILLA off his feet. MECHAGODZILLA falls, but curls and kicks GODZILLA in the head. GODZILLA winces, but then throws MECHAGODZILLA down the street. He starts to stomp after him, but suddenly stops and looks at his hands. They begin to glow a bright red*

BOTH: There it is.

ZAIA: What? There what is?

BOTH: The chain reaction. It's unstoppable. Godzilla's going to melt down.

STRAVO: But didn't he do that already?

BOTH: Different Godzilla.

STRAVO: Damn it, there's too many to keep track of.

*beams of bright red light begin erupting from GODZILLA'S body. The choral music gets louder. He suddenly looks up and charges MECHAGODZILLA, grabbing him around the neck. He then crouches. A massive ripple appears in the ground and GODZILLA launches both himself and MECHAGODZILLA skyward*

BOTH: He's going to take Mechagodzilla with him.

LT: Will you two PLEASE stop that?!

*GODZILLA and MECHAGODZILLA punch through the cloud cover*

DALTON: Now what?

*KUJA and CYRAN pull their hats down*

BOTH: Cover your eyes.

*the entire group does so as a massive explosion erupts in the sky above Manhattan. The clouds are blown away to reveal a bright source of light*

ZAIA: Did he get him?

STRAVO: Can't tell!

*the light fades, revealing a somewhat scorched but otherwise unharmed MECHAGODZILLA floating to the ground*

LT: Well, shit.

STRAVO: I can't believe it. Godzilla gone. And for nothing.

BOTH: Don't worry. There will always be another Godzilla.

*CUT TO: a distant island. A strange-looking lizard raises its head and lets out a feeble cry. Then it gets eaten by the next GODZILLA*

ZAIA: But what are we supposed to do now?

BOTH: We're going to kill the people controlling Mechagodzilla.

LT: Works for me.

*fade out*

CYRAN: Hey, wait a minute!

*fade in*

CYRAN: Why did we spend the entire freaking chapter talking like Mothra's tiny priestesses?

KUJA: Got me. Must be a plot device.

CYRAN: Sheesh. Pretty useless one if you ask me.

KUJA: Well, I didn't. So shut up.

*fade out*

LOL, nice one, babydoll. Foreshadowing how you and Cyran are like one person? Is there going to be a marriage at the end of this story after all?
