Godzilla stumbled as SpaceGodzilla fired his corona beam. It was bad enough when he had to fight other monsters, but a monster that could recover from wounds as quickly as him or could anticipate and counter his movements? That was just too much! …And now there was something glowing green on that little island! …Wait, was it growing to his size? The green light then formed a humanoid shape, then faded to reveal a red and white person with glowing green eyes and a large fin protruding from his head and forearms. “WAY BIG!” it announced. Godzilla got into a defensive stance. “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” yelped Way Big. “Friendly! Friendly!” …This one wasn’t planning on fighting Godzilla. “Look, big guy, I don’t know if you fully understand, but we can’t kill the knock-off of you!” Godzilla snorted. No one tells him what to do! “Godzilla, please listen! He’s not supposed to die here in this time! This is the same SpaceGodzilla that was killed thirty years ago! He was plucked from that time and brought here! I can send him back so he can die in his proper time, but if you kill him now, there will be massive temporal consequences that I can’t begin to understand! Time will have no meaning! You will cease to exist if you kill him now!” Godzilla didn’t fully understand everything and was about to attack Way Big…then he took a sniff. …SpaceGodzilla’s scent should have been familiar, not exactly the same. …Way Big was right, this knock-off should have been dead already. He would have smelled resurrection on SpaceGodzilla. This…was the exact same one! Godzilla understood preserving history to an extent. He snorted, then assumed an aggressive stance, giving off a challenge roar to SpaceGodzilla. “…Gonna assume you understand, big guy,” said Way Big. He then faced SpaceGodzilla. “You heard the king! Round two, baby!” SpaceGodzilla roared in defiance!
“…I can’t help but see Ultraman in Ben right now,” remarked Dr. Sato as she saw Godzilla and Way Big charge at SpaceGodzilla.
“Ben’s heard the Ultraman jokes already,” replied Julie.
“The To’kustar race DID come before your Ultraman franchise,” said the Doctor.
“So what now?” asked Lurra Rus.
“You think Ben convinced Godzilla not to kill SpaceGodzilla?” quizzed Amy.
“I really hope so,” muttered the Doctor. The ground shook as the fight went on.
“I think the bigger question is can we avoid getting underfoot?!” yelped Dr. Sato.
“Ben seems to be keeping the fight contained in the bay,” remarked the Doctor. “I think we’d best take advantage of the hills San Francisco is built on.”
“We’d have to get there first!” protested Dr. Sato. “Look at the size of the waves!” The fight WAS causing massive waves to hit the shore, waves big enough to send boats and ships away from land.
“Damn!” grumbled the Doctor. Dr. Sato then looked up.
“…Ben’s not hitting the crystals on SpaceGodzilla’s shoulders!” she called.
“All right, I need a megaphone!” called the Doctor.
Back at the fight, Godzilla’s fire was deflected by SpaceGodzilla’s crystalline shield. The space monster had a wicked smirk as he lumbered towards Godzilla…then he felt something tug at his tail! He looked back to see Way Big holding onto his tail. “GOTCHA!” laughed Way Big. SpaceGodzilla snorted, then thrashed his tail. Way Big kept ahold of SpaceGodzilla’s tail, but he DID end up dunked underwater. He was forced to release the tail and come up for air. “Okay, that wasn’t my brightest idea!” spluttered Way Big.
“BEN!” called the Doctor’s voice over a megaphone. Way Big looked down to see the Doctor, her friends, and Julie waving. The Doctor then spoke into the megaphone. “THE SHOULDER CRYSTALS! DESTROY THE SHOULDER CRYSTALS!”
“The shoulder-?” Way Big looked to see that SpaceGodzilla was focusing on Godzilla now. Godzilla had remembered SpaceGodzilla’s weakness and was trying to destroy the shoulder crystals, but SpaceGodzilla’s crystalline shield was keeping him safe. …Way Big then noticed a flaw! “…Should have watched your back!” Way Big crossed his arms into an X formation and fired a stream of green energy at SpaceGodzilla’s right shoulder crystal. The crystal shattered and caused SpaceGodzilla to roar in pain, making him lose his concentration on his shield. Godzilla saw his chance and fired a Spiral Red Atomic burst at the remaining shoulder crystal. The crystal shattered and SpaceGodzilla was in immense pain. The King of the Monsters and Way Big then wailed on SpaceGodzilla. They focused on just knocking him out. Eventually, they backed off and SpaceGodzilla wobbled before collapsing in San Francisco Bay! His eyes were shut.
“YES!” cheered everyone else. Godzilla gave a roar of victory.
“Perfect! Now, with that out of the way-!” said Way Big. He then looked down at the Omnitrix symbol on his chest. “Omnitrix, Clockwork!” The green light then returned and surrounded him. He then shrunk down until he was a round creature made of brass clockwork with a green window on his chest showing off his internal mechanisms. He had a clock key on his round head and spoke with an exaggerated Swiss accent. “CLOCKWORK!” The key on his head then spun. “…Aha! So you came from that point in time. Well, history says you have to be there. …However, it DOES say you have to be in that condition the Grouping found you in.” Clockwork then fired a time ray from his chest. “Don’t worry, this will just send you back to the past with no memory of being in the future.” SpaceGodzilla then faded away in green light. “There we go! And so, the day is saved, thanks to Ben Te…wait a minute!” Clockwork then recalled that there was nothing but water under the fading SpaceGodzilla and he was pretty sure that would hurt a Chronosapien! “…Omnitrix, Ripjaws! Ripjaws! RIPJAWS!”
Back on Alcatraz, everyone saw a ball of fire where Clockwork was! “BEN!” called Julie. The ball of fire then dipped near the water when SpaceGodzilla fully returned to his time, then shot up and arced towards Alcatraz. “…Oh, no, wait,” realized Julie. The ball of fire landed near the group and dissipated to reveal a humanoid made of rocks and fire with the Omnitrix symbol on his chest. Julie couldn’t resist. “HEATBLAST!” she shouted.
“…Is Azmuth still here?” asked Heatblast.
“Right here, Ben,” replied Azmuth as he hopped off the Doctor’s shoulder. “Shouldn’t you have turned into your Piscciss Volaan form? You know, that transformation you call Ripjaws?”
“That’s what I told the Omnitrix to turn me into!” snapped Heatblast.
“I think the DNA database in the Omnitrix needs a recheck,” remarked the Doctor. “That’s a Pyronite, not a Piscciss Volaan.”
“Yeah, well this stupid watch has a sense of humor!” retorted Heatblast. “I thought Master Control avoids that whole turning-me-into-the-wrong-alien thing! Azmuth, if you’re the smartest guy in nine galaxies-!”
“FIVE galaxies,” corrected the Doctor and Azmuth.
“And haven’t you humans developed voice command technology recently?” asked Azmuth. “A Chronosapien’s accent DOES impede things a bit when you’re panicked and the voice recognition software hasn’t been trained!”
“…Not to detract from the lesson Ben’s learning here,” said the Doctor, “but the Time Lords’ voice recognition software avoids that. Perhaps I can-?”
“No, thank you, Doctor,” replied Azmuth. “I’ll figure it out myself.”
As the group talked, Godzilla simply stomped off towards deeper waters and prepared to dive. What he didn’t know was that Dr. Animo was watching him. “That’s it, little Kaiju!” cackled the mad doctor. “Once my Transmodulator hits you, you’ll be under my direct-!”
“Hey!” called Amy’s voice. Dr. Animo turned to see her standing there with her hands on her hips while Lurra Rus stood behind her.
“No,” said Lurra Rus as she held up a component Dr. Animo recognized. It was the power transfer circuit for his Transmodulator.
“…Ladies, you two are no fun!” grumbled Dr. Animo as he held his hands up in surrender.
Everyone returned to the mainland as Godzilla went under the water and cruised back to Monster Island. Dr. Animo was put into a prison transport truck, muttering about stupid sapient hedgehogs. The Doctor checked some readings on her sonic screwdriver and smiled. “That’s two chronal surges dealt with,” she said. “And this one was far more satisfactory than the previous!”
“So where are we off to now?” asked Amy as she, the Doctor, and Lurra Rus headed back to the TARDIS.
“Still figuring that out,” replied the Doctor.
“Doctor, you’re not leaving, surely!” protested Dr. Sato as she and Ben approached her. “There’s still so much to clean up!”
“And I’m sure UNIT and the Plumbers can do it splendidly,” answered the Doctor. “But the chronal surge that brought SpaceGodzilla to this time isn’t the only one. We need to mitigate this before other races take advantage of the Grouping.”
“…Well, if you’re sure,” sighed Dr. Sato.
“Oh, Ben, could Azmuth keep an eye on the Grouping?” asked the Doctor.
“Not really much he can do,” replied Ben. “He’s more interested in genetics, not temporal mechanics.”
“True, true,” agreed the Doctor. “Well, must dash.” She and her friends entered the TARDIS and it dematerialized, ready to get to the next chronal surge.
