"The Titan Within: Operation Yashiori"

Bookmark
2 Points

The air is thick with the acrid scent of smoke and the distant rumble of destruction. You stand on the edge of the rooftop, safety goggles fogging up from a mixture of sweat and anxiety. In the distance, Godzilla looms above the skyline, a grotesque juggernaut of mutated flesh and scale. Every step it takes reverberates through the air, rattling your bones even from miles away. You can hardly believe what you're seeing.

You're just an average person—well, you used to be.

"Listen up," the stern voice of Dr. Nakamura crackles through your earpiece, jolting you from your stupor. "The procedure is ready to commence. Remember, you must trust the process. Initiating size transformation in three... two... one..."

You brace yourself, nerves firing in all directions. There's a brilliant flash of light and a tingling sensation that starts at your fingertips and quickly engulfs your entire body.

Suddenly, you are soaring upwards, the world shrinking below you. In mere seconds, you've grown to a titanic 400 feet tall, your clothes miraculously expanding to fit your new dimensions. Surprisingly, nothing else has changed. You catch your reflection in a nearby high-rise window; it's disconcerting to see your normal human appearance magnified to kaiju proportions.

“Remember, you’re the lynchpin of Operation: Yashiori,” Dr. Nakamura’s voice commands your attention through your earpiece. “Distract Godzilla long enough for our squadron to inject the coagulant. We’ll only get one shot at this.”

You clench a new, ginormous fist and look toward Godzilla, swallowing the lump in your throat. "Alright, let's do this," you murmur to yourself, a mixture of fear and resolve in your tone.

The ground shakes beneath your massive feet as you stride toward the monstrosity. Godzilla's eyes, lifeless and haunting, finally turn in your direction. For the first time, it acknowledges your presence, its maw splitting open slightly to reveal rows of sharp, disfigured teeth.

"Gotta keep it busy," you think. You swing a massive punch at Godzilla, catching it across its skull-like jaw. The impact sends a shockwave through the air, causing nearby buildings to shudder. Godzilla stumbles, but quickly regains its terrifying composure.

It roars, unleashing an unforgiving blast of atomic breath. The searing heat rushes toward you, but instead of fear, you feel a strange sense of invulnerability. Right, you're immune to radiation now. You plow through the beam, closing the gap, fists at the ready.

Out of nowhere, Godzilla's tail whips forward, catching you off-guard. It slams into your side, sending you skidding across the ruined streets like a fallen tree. "Dangit!" you sputter, the magnitude of the creature's strength now painfully clear.

Yet, you rise, undeterred. Far in the distance, you catch a glimpse of the military tankers maneuvering into position, taking advantage of the distraction you’ve created. "Just a little longer," you tell yourself, gritting your teeth and launching yourself back into the fray.

You unleash a barrage of blows—striking, dodging, retreating—each movement precise and calculated in your colossal form. Godzilla reels under the onslaught, its movements becoming more erratic and sluggish.

"Now! Inject the coagulant, now!" Dr. Nakamura’s voice urgently commands.

The team of workers, tiny compared to your kaiju-sized self, sprint into action. They drive the tankers forward, hoses aimed at Godzilla's gaping maw. With impeccable timing, they flood its mouth with the blood coagulant. Godzilla thrashes, its monstrous form shaking violently.

Your job now is to fall back, shift back to human size, and let the coagulant do its work. With a final defiant push, you force Godzilla to collapse onto its back, immobilized but not defeated.

Transforming back to your normal height nearly leaves you breathless, the world returning to its familiar vastness. In the distance, you see the monstrous form twitching less and less until it finally ceases movement.

"We... we did it," one of the workers exhales, relief palpable in his voice.

"Yes, but it's only temporary," Dr. Nakamura reminds everyone. "This is just the beginning. But for now, we've given humanity a fighting chance."

You stand there, catching your breath, gazing at the fallen beast. You're just an average human, but today, you played the part of a titan.

AI Prompts

Prompt: Write a POV story of the average/normal 5.6-6 foot tall human civilian (no weapons, super powers, insane fighting abilities, nor having intelligence that is above average, since the human reader is simply normal) fighting against Shin Godzilla (the main antagonist from the 2016 title movie Shin Godzilla). The human reader would willingly be experimented by the government to help (even if temporarily) defeat Godzilla (who is 118 meters tall or 389 feet tall in its final form), the human reader would experience growth to being almost 400 feet tall (within just a few seconds), while having the exact same appearance as his/her normal size (as well as the clothes growing to fit his kaiju-sized body), to help him/her be able to fight Shin Godzilla (who is simply called Godzilla in this story). Although exactly the same appearance as his/her normal self, the human reader would be completely immune to radiation (since he/she is kaiju-sized) and would be strong as he/she is basically a titan, allowing him/her to be able to fight back against Shin Godzilla. The human reader (in this story) is able to instantly shift between his/her normal size form and a kaiju-sized form. The reader would also team up with the squadron of workers who, in the tankers full of blood coagulant drugs, attempt to inject Godzilla with a blood coagulant drug through its mouth to help freeze up Godzilla. Here is Shin Godzilla's appearance; Godzilla's appearance changes multiple times throughout the film due to the creature's incredible evolutionary capacity. The first form only shows its tail during the beginning of the movie. It's large, and very much resembles the second form's tail in regards to aesthetic, being yellow-hued, with a frayed end. The first form did not have the physical nor physiological conditions to withstand being on land as many sea creatures are often crushed by their weight if they even attempt to make landfall, including mammals such as whales. The first form's tail had a great amount of mobility, swinging around and toppling nearby boats. The second form is very much reminiscent of a moray eel or frilled shark, having a long body, neck, and tail, while also possessing stubby, undeveloped hind legs for land movement, and stubs on its chest that are shown to be underdeveloped arms. Unlike Godzilla's later forms, this form possesses a sickly yellow complexion, with red, exposed muscle on its back and shark-like gills that frequently bleed, showing that it struggles to breathe outside the water. The dorsal plates of this design are underdeveloped, much like its other body parts. The eyes of this design are also very large compared to its body, almost resembling that of the colossal or giant squid in appearance. Being too weak to stand up, it moves by wriggling on its belly, pushing itself forward with its stubby hind legs and thrashing its tail. The third form of Godzilla is very much like traditional incarnations in regards to appearance. This form is bipedal, with stronger, more developed hind limbs and the ability to assume a stance much like modern Godzilla possesses small forelimbs and a long neck compared to its body. Unlike his second form, which possesses a sickly yellow skin tone, the change in appearance for this form altered the skin tone of Godzilla to a dark orangey-red, with exposed muscle changing from a red, to a glowing orange. The scutes or ostoderms of the design also become more defined and larger with this evolution. In this form, heat can be visibly seen from its dorsal plates, meaning its mutation consumed much energy and produced a lot of heat. Its gills also have shrunk and closed up, suggesting that this form has now adapted to breathe on land. Despite being bipedal, its legs had not fully developed, causing its legs to noticeably shake as it struggled to not to fall while it was walking. However, its legs were enhanced enough to allow it to move fast enough to run, compared to the second form's slithering and the third form's initial stumbling. When it started to overheat, it reverted to the stance of its second form to more quickly retreat to the ocean. The fourth and final form of Godzilla is very much akin to other traditional designs, being fully bipedal, with a fully developed row of dorsal spines, and a much taller height in comparison to his prior form. The shade of skin for this form is a much darker black color, with red, glowing highlights around exposed areas of the body, such as his neck, back, and legs. This form's head possesses no cheeks or lips, and multiple rows of jagged, gnarled, and deformed teeth which protrude in and out of the skin around its mouth, a pronounced nose with large round nostrils, small white, seemingly-lidless eyes and a jawline that extends widely to the sides of its head. Additionally, the eyes have a brille, a protective lens, in place of traditional eyelids that can protect its eyes from harm. The brille is strong enough to resist bombs being dropped on its face. Its lower jaw is similar to that of a snake, granting the fourth form of Godzilla to open its mouth to more than a terrifying 90 degrees is also able to split open when Godzilla uses its "Compressed Atomic Heat Ray" during the movie. Adding to the differences is its arm to body ratio, with small arms that barely reach out past its chest and remain mostly immobile in the movie, bar a few movements from its fingers. Unlike most Godzillas in other Godzilla media, its tail is very long and consistently swings around and above its head. Inside its tail is a giant human-like skull. Its tail also happens to be where it spawns multiple copies of its next evolutionary form. Godzilla's atomic breath is very thin in comparison to other Godzilla incarnations which tend to be wide beams of concussive energy, with the same traits being passed onto its dorsal spines. Here is Shin Godzilla's personality; This Godzilla's personality is starkly different in regards to those coming before it, especially coming off the heels of Legendary's Godzilla. Rather than being openly heroic, antagonistic, or some shade of gray in between, Godzilla in this movie is outright detached from everything in the movie emotionally. Throughout the film and his raids on the multiple cities it travels through, Godzilla shambles forward slowly, but methodically, almost ignoring everything in its way, be it civilians, buildings, or the fire from a combined force of Japanese helicopters and tanks. With this, it shows no outright intentional hostile expressions. This Godzilla may be a mindless force of destruction, with no course of thought, emotion, or intent. Alternatively, it is also possible that it is in a constant state of pain, agony and suffering from its mutation and disfigurement, fitting the description that Godzilla "is equally a victim of the atomic bomb”. Possibly, Godzilla is suicidal and wants to die but as its body doesn't let him die it is in absolute agony. Godzilla's zombie-like demeanor is only broken when bunker busters dropped onto its back physically harm it, resulting in a focused and enraged reaction towards its attackers. The same expression of reaction is also present when Operation: Yashiori is enacted, where Godzilla reacts in this manner towards the force attacking it once more, ultimately leading to its defeat. Godzilla also displayed some intelligence as it reserved some energy to surprise attack the squadron of Japanese workers who attempt to inject it with a blood coagulant drug through its mouth (after Godzilla falls over and knocked out temporarily), but they wouldn't do this if Godzilla is active and moving around and only do it if Godzilla is not moving and/or if it is lying down and unconscious (after being beaten or temporarily knocked down by projectiles or attacks from a rival titan; in this case, the kaiju-sized human reader). There should also be quotes from the human characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
