Godzilla JR vs Mothra Leo
By Alex Dunne
The sun was starting to set on an island far away from the mainland. On the island lived the king of monsters Godzilla with his queen of monsters Mothra with their two beautiful children, Junior and Leo. Junior was built like Godzilla, stocky and tough with amazing body armor, but the only difference being that Junior was a bit leaner than Godzilla, and of course smaller, other than that they looked almost identical. Then there’s Leo, just like his mother he was graceful and elegant, the most difference is Leo being less leaner than Mothra and his wing color being a gorgeous yellow and green while Mothra’s was yellow and red, he of course was smaller than Mothra as well. For years now Junior and Leo have been training with their parents to be the ultimate fighters and this evening is going to be their final bout. In the open part of the island where the grass is a nice shade of yellow stood a ring, the two monsters stood at their respective corners. Junior was in the red corner, the setting sun shined against his grayish-green scales, the sun marking out his black gloves and shorts with teal flame designs. On the other side in the blue corner stood Leo, his black and white fluffy body exposed to the orange sunlight, a certain shine gleaming on his orange gloves and trunks with black rings going around the legs of the trunks and rings on the front part of his gloves. Godzilla and Mothra were of course there with Godzilla being at Junior’s corner and Mothra being at Leo’s corner.
“Alright Junior, don’t think this will be an easy win for you! Leo’s pretty tough!”
“Heh, don’t need to worry about that! I know what he’s capable of!” Junior says with confidence as he taps his gloves together. Meanwhile, on the other side.
“Ok Leo, be sure to give it your all! Junior has a good defense on him so try to tire him out!” Leo nods at what Mothra said, he throws some punches at the air to ready himself for the fight. Leo and Junior stared at each other both trying to intimidate the other, truth be told, Leo was nervous about this fight but he kept his cool with a straight face. Suddenly, birds started to fly away from a nearby forest. The trees shook as stomping noises came from them, Junior and Leo looked over at the forest to see a figure coming out of it. The figure looked like a gorilla and was nearly as tall as Godzilla himself.
“Hey Kong!” Godzilla yelled as he waved in the air. Coming out of the forest was none other than King Kong himself! The giant gorilla waved at Godzilla as he came over the ring.
“What up lizard breath!?” Kong and Godzilla clash hands and flex their arms to show off their power.
“Thanks for being the ref for this Kong, I owe you one.”
“Anytime, now then!” Kong slaps his hands together. “Let's get this show on the road!” Kong looks over the two fighters and heads over to the ring before crawling in. He goes to the middle, he looks at Leo and then at Junior before he motions the two over. Junior grows a cocky smile as he stomps over the middle while Leo just casually walks with a calm look. “Alright you two, I think you both know the rules by now!?” They both nod as they look at each other. “Good! Now touch gloves so we can start this fight!” Both of them glared at each other as they touched gloves, but Junior chuckled a little as he went in for a fake jab at Leo. Leo flinched and covered his face only to feel nothing and hear Junior crackle. “Oi, save it for the fight!” Kong scolded Junior who only blew it off. Leo sighed and uncovered just as Kong was stepping out of the ring. Kong picked up the small hammer and hit it against the bell causing a ringing noise. “Fight!” Leo tenses up as the first punch was thrown, a right cross to the face causing Leo to grunt loudly and stumble back. Junior grows a grin as he comes after Leo, the smaller monster recovered just in time to get hit with two jabs to the cheeks before eating up an uppercut to the chin. Spittle flings in the air as the moth moves back to the ropes, hunching a bit trying to cover up his body with his arms and gloves. Junior goes on continuing to throw his barrage of jabs and even some hooks at Leo’s defense. All Leo could hear was the sound of his arms being beaten against by leather, without thinking he quickly ducked down to the left causing Junior to miss one of his jabs. Junior’s eyes widen in surprise as Leo then launches a left hook to Junior’s side before throwing a right jab to his snout. Junior growls and stands his ground with a stomp attempting to throw a hook only to miss when Leo dodges it. Leo would then launch a right uppercut to Junior’s cheek making him back away with a grunt, Leo didn’t stop there as he went in for an additional left hook to the snout and then another uppercut to the gut. Junior’s cheeks puffed up a bit with that uppercut as he growled a bit.
“Lucky shots, but that’s as far as you go!” Junior roars as he takes a jab to the eye. Leo huffs and backs away from Junior keeping his defense close, Junior circles Leo keeping a close eye on him. He snarls and glares at Leo and goes in with a left jab which is blocked by Leo’s arms before he throws a right hook only for Leo to duck it once again. Leo would then counter with a left and right hook combo to Junio’s face making the giant lizard grunt as his head jerked with each punch. “You’re dead!” Junior swings a wild right hook to Leo’s cheek causing a loud thud on impact, Leo stumbles to the side as his cheek stings only for his eyes to bulge out in near seconds as he feels Junior’s fist sink deep into his gut because of an uppercut. He gasps and hugs himself as he backs away only to be met with the ropes. Using this moment Junior rushes in and starts to throw a barrage of jabs and hooks at Leo’s head. Grunts and groans escape the moth’s mouth and so does a bit of spittle, sweat begins to fly in the air as well before his face is smashed in by a right jab. Some green fluid starts to drip from his nose just as the bell is rung ending round one. Junior huffs out air and goes to his corner as Leo groans and makes his way to his corner. The two monsters lean against their corners as Mothra and Godzilla get into the ring.
“Good work out there Junior, show him no mercy!” Godzilla said with pride as he patted Junior on the shoulder. “But remember, using too much power in your punches takes some energy.” Junior nodded as he hopped around throwing jabs at Godzilla’s palms. Meanwhile,
“You got in some good shots Leo, keep it up and use your speed against him.” Mothra encouraged as she took care of Leo’s nose, some bruises started to form on his face and gut as he stood there wincing.
“Yeah…I’ll remember that.” Leo panted as he waited for the bell to ring to start round two. After a few more seconds Kong rang the bell, with that Mothra and Godzilla got out of the ring. Junior rolled his shoulders and pounded his fists together while Leo took some breaths and raised his arms up. He looked at the sun and saw its beautiful orange glow, he felt warm and felt something course through him. He forward his eyes and tightened his fists as he went to the middle ready to fight again. Junior was already there and threw the first punch of the second round, a fast jab to the head but it was blocked with ease by Leo and he countered back with a right hook to the head. Junior winced and snarled as he threw another jab at Leo’s chest, at the same time Leo shot a left hook to Junior’s cheek. Both punches made contact but none of them moved as they pushed their fists against the other.
“You won’t win, this is my fight!” Junior hisses as he pushes, making Leo groan a bit.
“In your dreams scales!” Leo growled, he took his fist away from Junior and shot a fast right jab at his snout making the lizard monster back up. Leo jumps after Junior throwing a one two combo to his snout before another jab to the gut. Junior grunted with each attack but he lunged forward throwing a haymaker to Leo’s chest, Leo lost his breath and gasps before his head is shot back with an uppercut making him fall to the mat. Junior grins and steps away as Kong starts to count in his booming voice.
“One, two, three, four!” Leo coughs and gets onto his knees as sweat falls from his head, he looks up at Junior then at Kong and sees him counting. He panics and pushes himself up to his feet at the count of six, he wobbles a bit but he catches himself before tapping his fists together showing he can continue. The fight continues as Junior rushes in carelessly, but Leo beats him to the punch as he sends a hard jab to the midsection of Junior’s body making his eyes widen in surprise. Leo then shoots up an uppercut to Junior’s chin and then another jab to the stomach, Junior struggles to keep up as he throws a random hook only to miss his target. Leo shoots a few more jabs to Junior’s stomach making him groan and grunt before he throws a right hook to his cheek. Junior stumbles back and onto the ropes with his right arm out of the ring as he pants and sweats. Leo looks at the sun once again and as he does his wings start to glow, energy starts to go down his right arm and into his fist as he looks back at Junior and charges at him pulling his right arm back. Junior looks back just in time to see an orange fist aim straight to his snout, the fist pushes into the snout a bit making Junior yell out in pain as his face is berated with even more punches. His head jerks left and right and back with groans as Leo sends out his assault, soon he winds up his right arm and aims a solar powered uppercut to Junior’s chin. Spit and a bit of blood shoot out into the air as the beast falls forward and onto Leo who simply lets Junior slide down his body and onto the mat. Mothra cheers for Leo as Kong goes over to Junior outside of the ring. “One, two, three, four!” Kong started, Junior laid there groaning and shivering as Leo went to the nearest corner and leaned against it. “Five, six, seven!” Junior sits up and wipes his arm across his face, getting blood on his arm. He looks at it as he pants before grabbing onto the ropes and using them to help him get up onto his feet just at the count of nine. Kong asks him if he can keep going, to which Junio gives him a nod. Kong continues the fight, Leo chuckles at this and without a second he charges at Junior once again, this time however, the glow starts to die down and as he throws a jab at Junior’s cheek Junior grunted but noticed how weak this punch was. He grins at this and shoots his own jab at Leo’s face making him back up. Leo and Junior both stare at each other, both having bruises on their faces, panting hard as they circled each other, but that ended soon as the bell rang ending the second round. Leo and Junior grin at each other as they make their way to their corners. Both Mothra and Godizlla get into the ring and start to tend to their fighters.
“That was amazing Leo! Wish you could’ve held onto that power for a bit longer!” Mothra excitedly exclaimed, making her push a bit too hard on Leo’s bruises causing him to wince. “Oop, sorry.”
“It’s fine, it felt good to knock down that brute!” Leo chuckled.
“Didn’t expect that from him, you ok?” Godzilla asked as he wiped Junior’s face with a cold towel.
“I’m fine, honestly I gotta put some respect on that. Didn’t think he had it in him.” Junior said with a sigh.
“Yeah, Mothra really knows what she’s doing with Leo.”
“Don’t worry, I still got some tricks up my glove.” Junior said as some of his back spikes glowed teal a bit. Godzilla smiled at this before giving Junior some water. After some time the bell rings once again for the final round. Leo gets his hair messed up by Mothra while Junior gets patted on the back by Godzilla. Both fighters go to the center, they tap gloves together and wish each other good luck before getting into their stances. This time Leo starts the fight with a right hook to the side making Junior jump a bit before throwing a left cross on his face. Sweat flings off Junior as he fights back with a left jab to the nose making Leo grunt, but he stands his ground and counters back with a jab of his own to the snout. Junior grunts and stands his ground as well before also countering back with a right hook to the face, soon these two get into a stand still and counter fight with fists flying after each punch. Leo’s cheek starts to swell while Junior’s left eye starts to go purple.
“Come on Junior, end it already!” Godzilla yells.
“Don’t give up Leo!” Mothra screams. Junior managed to dodge one of Leo’s jabs giving him the advantage, he shot a hard right cross to Leo’s cheek making the moth’s head jerk spittle flying out of his mouth. Junior then throws two jabs to Leo’s chest making him back up before firing a haymaker to Leo’s face. Leo stumbles back all the way to the ropes, he goes to block his body but that sadly doesn’t help as Junior forces a right uppercut to go through Leo’s defenses and straight to his gut. Leo spat out some green liquid as he went for a clinch but that didn't stop Junior from continuing to bash at Leo’s black fluffy gut with uppercuts. Leo spits out more blood as he’s lifted off of his feet and pushes against the ropes with each hit. Junior pushes Leo off of him before pulling back his fist and shooting one more uppercut to his gut, pushing it hard against Leo’s body. Leo’s eyes shot as he spat out a big amount of blood and fell to his knees coughing and wheezing. Junior steps back as Kong comes over.
“One, two, three, four!” Leo continues to cough and even pukes a bit, he wipes his mouth as his vision starts to get a bit hazy. “Five, six, seven!” Leo groans and reaches over to the ropes and starts to pull himself up, he uses up his energy to get himself up to his feet. He leans against the ropes panting and groaning, his arms wrapped around them as sweat and blood drips down his body. Kong gets into the ring and goes to check on Leo. “Leo, can you still fight?” He asks as he grabs onto Leo’s gloves and puts his arms back to where they should be. Leo looks at Kong with a swollen eye and nods slowly. Kong huffs and nods, he looks back at Junior and continues the fight, this makes Junior growl in frustration, he tightens up his fists as smoke starts to come out of his nose. The spikes on the back of him start to glow a light teal, his mouth glowing the same color. He pounds his fists together and stomps his way towards Leo, Kong gulps and quickly gets out of the ring as Leo watches Junior come close to him. Leo pushes himself off the ropes and throws a weak right jab at Junior’s nose. Junior shoves Leo’s fist away as he stares at Leo straight in the eyes.
“This ends here, and now!” Junior lets out a loud roar, he stomps on the ground one last time as he throws a hefty right hook straight to Leo’s cheek, the first glowing with radioactive energy. Leo doesn’t have time or energy to block or even dodge the attack, the fist sinks into his cheek and his mouth guard goes flying out of the ring as his head violently jerks to the right. Spit and blood follow the mouth guard as his body spins with his head, he lands on the corner with a thud and he slides down it with his face smearing blood on the post. Junior lets out another roar and shoots out a beam of energy out of his mouth into the sky. The three beasts watch with excitement but also fear, Kong slowly gets into the ring to check on Leo who has passed out cold.
“The fight is over, Junior wins!” Godzilla rings the bell ending the fight, Kong goes over and raises Junior’s arm in the air. Godzilla gets into the ring and goes to celebrate with Junior as Mothra goes to Leo and helps him up.
“You did good Leo, better luck next time.” Leo doesn’t respond other than with a groan. Junior raises his other arm as some tears start to slide down his face, the sun sets completely and everyone goes back to where they belong, Kong in the forest, Junior and Godzilla at the bottom of the lake, and Mothra and Leo in the open plains.
