Episode 10: Goodbye, Ichiro
Monsters: King Ghidorah (Heisei Version)

In the depths of outer space, an orange circular jewel flew throughout space. A few minutes after traveling, the jewel bursts in flames and explodes revealing a golden three headed dragon with two large wings in place of arms and two tails. His name was King Ghidorah. He gave a loud cackle-like shriek similar to Rodan's. He gazed at the nearest planet...Earth! He let out another shriek and flew towards Earth.

At the JMP base, Ichiro was walking towards Captain Honda's office. He had a depressed look on his face. He let out a sigh and stopped walking. He stood quietly in the middle of the hallway until Keito approached him.
"What's wrong?" she asked him.
Ichiro just looked at her and continued walking towards Captain Honda's office.
"Rude people," she thought and walked off.
As she walked off, Ichiro turned his head around and watched her leave. "I hope I didn't upset her," he thought.
He continued walking until he reached Captain Honda's office. He sighs and knocks on the door.
"Come in," Captain Honda's voice said from behind the door.
Ichiro slowly opened the door and walked in. Captain Honda was sitting at his desk going through a book titled "Monster Encyclopedia". He stopped reading and looked up at Ichiro.
"Take a seat," he told Ichiro as he closed the book.
Ichiro signed and took his seat.
"I'm depressed and I don't know why," he told Captain Honda.
Captain Honda nodded. "Go on," he told Ichiro.
Ichiro gave Captain Honda a confused look.
"What do mean by 'go on'?" h asked, "I told you everything! I'm depressed and I don't know why!"
"Easy," Captain Honda ordered, "No need to get all fussy. I think what you need is a long vacation."
Ichiro let out a sigh.
"Why?" he asked.
"To relieve your stress," Captain Honda answered, "You work really hard and I think stress is the reason you're depressed. Do you agree?"
Before Ichiro could answer, The Shobijin appeared on Captain Honda's desk.
"What's the problem?" The Captain asked.
"A three headed dragon is heading towards Earth. It's target is Monster Island." Captain Honda quickly bolted from his seat.
"Is it King Ghidorah?" he asked.
The Shobijin nodded.
"Dear God," Captain Honda said in fear, "Not the cosmic terror."
He looked at Ichiro, who no longer had a depressed look on his face, it was now a worried look. However on the inside, he was still depressed. He rose from his seat.
"Should I get the crew ready?" he asked.
Captain Honda nodded. Ichiro quickly ran out of the office. Captain Honda quickly turned back to the Shobijin.
"Anything else about Ghidorah?"
"Yes," They replied, "But we'll tell you later."
After that, they disappeared. He stood confused for a minute and then ran out of his office.

On Monster Island, Godzilla Junior was wandering around. After a minute or so, He stopped and looked up at the sky. He soon saw King Ghidorah and roared at him. The three headed dragon glared at Junior and shrieked in response. Junior snarled and fired his Atomic Ray. The beam hit Ghidorah's chest and he shrieked in pain. He fired his energy bolts known as Gravity Bolts at Junior from the air. The bolts hit the ground near Junior and created a large explosion that send Junior flying. Junior landed on his right side. Ghidorah landed and began to stare down at Junior. Junior managed to get back up and let out a loud roar. Ghidorah's center head tilted in confusion and soon was hit in the back by a green energy blast and a fireball. Ghidorah turned around to see Mothra Leo and Toto. It seemed that Junior's roar was a call for help. Ghidorah shrieked at them and fired his Gravity Bolts. Toto walked in front of Leo and turned his back. The bolts hit the shell and were reflected back at Ghidorah. The bolt hit Ghidorah's chest, causing an small explosion that knock him down. Toto turned and walked over to Junior. Leo began to spray his webs over Ghidorah. After a minute, he stopped spraying and Ghidorah's heads were completely covered in webs. Toto fired a fireball and Junior fired his Atomic Ray. The fireball hit Ghidorah's faces, burning off some of the webs. Junior's Atomic Ray hit Ghidorah's chest, creating a small explosion. Ghidorah then began to growled and rose back up. He shook the rest of the webs off and fired his Gravity Bolts at Leo. The Gravity Bolts hit the ground near Leo, creating a huge explosion that send Leo flying. He landed in the jungle. Junior and Toto stared in shock as Ghidorah turned his attention towards them. Frighten, Junior ran into the ocean and disappeared beneath the waves while Toto went into his shell and blasted off. King Ghidorah let out a victory shriek. However, he soon heard a noise of an aircraft. He looked up at the sky and hissed. He caught sight of the HydraCraft.

Inside the HydraCraft, Captain Honda was discussing the strategy while Eiji piloted and stared at Ghidorah from the window.
"Damn," he thought, "Ghidorah looks like he's gonna be a challenge. Well,they don't call him "King Ghidorah" for nothing."

Captain Honda was discussing the plan with Keito and Takeru.
"Okay," he began, "King Ghidorah gonna be a challenge. We can't destroy him with the HydraCraft's weaponry, but it can weaken him until the Guardian Monsters or Ultraman show up to fight him."
Takeru and Keito nodded. Meanwhile, Ichiro was leaning against the wall, sighing. Captain Honda walked over to him.
"This is your last mission for awhile," he told Ichiro, "Let's make the best of it."
Ichiro sigh again, but before he could say anything, the ship rattle and seemed to be heading down.
"We've been hit by one of Ghidorah's bolts!" Eiji shouted, "We're going down!"
As soon as Eiji said that, something grabbed the ship.
"It seems someone or something grabbed us," Eiji said in shock as whoever grabbed the HydraCraft put it down.
"Don't be worried," Captain Honda said, "It's most likely one of the Guardian Monsters. Now, let's roll out!"
The JMP crew exited the HydraCraft to see Gamera approaching an enraged Ghidorah.
"Seems that Gamera's the hero here," Takeru commented.
Captain Honda nodded. "Yes," he said, "However, there is a problem. Gamera's power is not enough to stop Ghidorah. Let's hope for Godzilla, Mothra or Ultraman to show up."

Gamera roared at Ghidorah and exhaled a stream of flames at him. The flames seemed useless as Ghidorah showed no signs of weakness or injury. Ghidorah shrieked and fired his Gravity Bolts at Gamera. Gamera managed to turn around so the bolts reflected off his shell. The bolts hit Ghidorah's chest which not only created an explosion, but also knocked him down.
"Alright Gamera!" Takeru cheered.
Captain Honda looked at him. "Don't get cocky," he said.
Ghidorah got up and shrieked at Gamera as he turned around. He hissed and was about to fire his Gravity Bolts, but he soon saw something was about to rise from the ocean. He hissed as Godzilla rose from the ocean. Godzilla roared and began to walk towards land. Godzilla walked towards Gamera. They took a quick look at each other and nodded. King Ghidorah now had two monsters to deal with.

Godzilla roared and ran towards Ghidorah. He rammed his head into Ghidorah's abdomen and knocked him down. He then fired his Atomic Ray all over Ghidorah. A series of small explosions erupted on Ghidorah, but he showed no sign of injury. He quickly rose up. He shrieked in anger and fired his Gravity Bolts. The bolts hit Godzilla's abdomen. Godzilla roars in pain and falls to his side. Gamera walks over to him. The JMP crew started to worry.
"Oh God," Takeru said, "Big G's down!"
Ichiro looked at him.
"There's no problem with Godzilla," he said, "He was just blasted by the bolts. He'll get back up on his feet soon."
Captain Honda looked at Ichiro. "There is indeed a problem," he said, "Ghidorah's bolts have a little bit of electricity in them. Remember, Godzilla's weakness is electricity."

Ghidorah fired his Gravity Bolts at the fallen Godzilla. Luckily, Gamera walked in front of him and turned his back, so the bolts hit his shell and were reflected back at Ghidorah. The bolts hit Ghidorah's chest, causing an explosion that knocked him down. Ghidorah quickly got back up, but was knocked back down back by Mothra.
"Alright," Takeru said, "Mothra's here. Now if Ultraman was here, Ghidorah will be slayed in a matter of minutes."

Mothra flew towards Gamera and Godzilla, who was still down. Mothra chirped to Gamera and Gamera roared in response. Godzilla began to slowly get back up. When he finally got back up, Godzilla let out a loud roar to Ghidorah. Ghidorah shrieked and turned around. He jumped and flew into the air. Mothra, not wanting him to get away, flew after him. She fired her Antenna Rays at Ghidorah. The rays hit his back, causing him to turned his heads and snarled. He fired a Gravity Bolt from the center head at Mothra. Mothra managed to dodge the attack, but didn't notice it was heading towards the JMP crew.
"Scatter!" shouted Captain Honda. The JMP crew scattered in different directions, but the bolt hit the ground near Eiji and Ichiro and they were sent flying.

Eiji and Ichiro landed in a clear area behind the jungle. Eiji quickly got up and look at Ichiro.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
No answer. Ichiro just laid there, unconscious.
"He must be knocked out," he thought.
Eiji slowly reached into his breast pocket and pulled out the Beta Capsule. "Time for Ultraman" he said and transformed into Ultraman.

Mothra continued chasing after King Ghidorah. Getting tired of chasing him, Mothra fired her antenna rays again. Like the last time, the rays hit his back. Ghidorah turned his head and saw Mothra was close on his trail. Ghidorah snarled and whacked Mothra's face with his tails. Mothra was soon sent falling from the air. Ghidorah watched as Mothra landed on her back in front of Godzilla and Gamera. Ghidorah soon turned his heads around and saw Ultraman flying towards him. Ultraman soon tackled him and down they went. Godzilla and Gamera were standing near Mothra. They both grabbed a wing (Gamera on the right and Godzilla on the left) and helped Mothra get up. Mothra was back up as Ultraman and Ghidorah landed. Ultraman jumped away from Ghidorah and fired the Specium Ray. The ray hit Ghidorah's chest, creating a medium sized explosion. Ghidorah shrieked and quickly rose back up. Ultraman run towards Ghidorah and tried to do a chop. Instead, Ghidorah's center head wrapped his neck around Ultraman's neck. His other two heads wrapped their necks around his arms. Ultraman grunted as the necks tried to constricted him. Seeing their ally in danger, Godzilla fired his Atomic Ray and Mothra fired her Antenna Rays at Ghidorah's back. The rays hit his back, causing two small explosions. Annoyed, Ghidorah unwrapped his necks around Ultraman, letting him go. Ghidorah turned around and began to flap his wings, creating hurricane-like winds. Mothra flew out of the way while Godzilla and Gamera were knocked down. Behind Ghidorah, Ultraman saw Godzilla and Gamera on the ground. He threw 2 Ultra-Slashes. The slashes cut off Ghidorah's wings. Ghidorah shrieked in pain as blood spew from his wounds. Ultraman ran towards Ghidorah and did a jump kick to Ghidorah's back. Ghidorah fell to the ground as Godzilla and Gamera rose back up. Ultraman jumped on the body of the fallen Ghidorah and began to strangle the center head. The other two head bit into Ultraman's legs. Ultraman screamed in pain as his ColorTimer began to blink red. Seeing their ally in danger, Godzilla and Gamera rushed to Ghidorah's body. Godzilla grabbed the left head and tore it off the body. A small puddle of blood formed where that head used be at. Gamera began to stomp on the right head's neck causing it to released on it's grip on Ultraman's leg. Gamera continued stomping on his neck until the head gave out a weak shriek and closed its eyes. Ultraman released his grip on the center head. It was the only head with life still in it. Ultraman got off the body. He, Godzilla and Gamera began to circle around Ghidorah's body. Mothra reappeared and joined the circle. They each fired their signature attack on Ghidorah. The center head of Ghidorah shrieked in pain as the attack was too much for him to handle. Soon, King Ghidorah exploded. The Guardian Monsters let out a victory as Ultraman nodded. "Shuwatch!" he shouted as he flew off.

Captain Honda, Takeru and Keito let out sighs of relief.
"Finally," Captain Honda said, "The three headed King of Terror is dead."
Suddenly, Ichiro walked out of the jungle.
"What happen?" he said.
Captain Honda looked at him. "You don't have to worry about King Ghidorah anymore," he said, "He's dead. Ultraman and the Guardian Monsters destroyed him."
Ichiro smiled. "Good," he said, "But how are we going to get back to base?"
Suddenly, Gamera grabbed the HydraCraft. Eiji appeared at the entrance.
"Are you guys coming or what?" he shouted. The rest of the crew smiled and ran towards the HydraCraft. They all went in and the door closed. Gamera laid on belly and pulled his legs and tail into his shell. He let out a roar as he blasted off. Godzilla and Mothra watched as he disappeared out of sight.

The JMP crew stood outside the base as Ichiro was preparing to leave.
"I really hate to do this," he said, "But Captain Honda wants me to take a vacation, so I have to."
The crew nodded.
"Don't worry," Eiji said, "We know you'll come back."
Ichiro smiled. "I bid you all farewell," he said as he headed towards his car, a black 2010 Honda Accord. He went into his car and backed it out. He slowly turned to exit the parking lot. The crew watched as his car went up the road and disappeared out of sight. Keito sighed.
"So when are you we getting a replacement for Ichiro?" she asked Captain Honda.
"Pretty soon," he said, "However, a new member isn't the only thing we're going to get."
