The ground shakes. Dust and debris fill the air, and the horrifying, guttural growl of Godzilla reverberates through the streets of Tokyo. You watch in stunned silence as the towering beast tramples buildings like they're made of paper, advancing without any hesitation. The monster isn't even aware of you—this creature of nightmares, born from humanity's mistakes, isn't really aware of much at all.
"Are you ready?" a voice cuts through the clamor, bringing you back to the present. You turn and see Dr. Nakamura, the scientist who had reached out to you with a proposal you could scarcely believe. She looks at you with a seriousness that makes you swallow hard. The very ground you're standing on continues to tremor beneath your feet.
"As ready as I'll ever be," you mutter, nerves thrumming through your body. You still can't quite believe what you've signed up for—a government-run experiment to grow you to kaiju-size, almost 400 feet tall, so you can battle Godzilla and provide the needed distraction for the squadron to inject Godzilla with blood coagulant drugs.
"Alright, initiate the process," Dr. Nakamura orders her crew. For a second, you feel a sharp prick at the base of your neck, and then—nothing but light.
Your body expands, impossibly fast, in a blur of colors and sensations. Your feet crush the asphalt beneath them as you grow, towering over the buildings that once towered over you. The cityscape shrinks to something toy-like, and you instinctively balance yourself amidst your newfound height. Your clothes, like your body, have grown to fit you perfectly, and you take your first step forward as a titan. The sensation is exhilarating and terrifying all at once.
"Status check!" someone shouts through a megaphone far below, though the voice sounds distant. When you glance downward, the once-enormous humans look like ants. You lift your arm and give a thumbs-up—an enormous, city-conquering thumbs-up.
Godzilla is directly ahead now, a lumbering nightmare spilling agony and power with each step. Your own colossal shadow merges with its monstrous form for a fleeting moment.
"Hey, big guy!" you call out, hoping to catch its attention. Godzilla halts, its tiny, white, lidless eyes focusing on you. Cold, emotionless, suffering eyes. You brace yourself for the inevitable clash.
"I'm not going to let you destroy this city!" You roar, your voice now booming through the streets. It almost feels as if the words are an afterthought; they mean nothing to this beast. And yet, here you stand—a kaiju-sized human, ready to engage in a battle of titans.
Godzilla moves first, its glowing, deformed maw opening in a silent, agonized scream. A thin, concentrated beam of atomic breath shoots forward, but you're ready. Summoning your own newfound kaiju abilities, you retaliate with a blast of non-radioactive atomic breath, meeting its beam halfway. The intersection of the beams generates a blinding flash, sending heat waves rippling through the already ravaged city.
"You've got this! Keep it distracted!" Dr. Nakamura's voice rings clear in your earpiece. You can't respond, for every fiber of your existence is focused on keeping Godzilla occupied. You swing your monstrous arm, landing a punch that sends shockwaves trembling through the streets.
Godzilla, undeterred, swipes back with a massive tail. The impact sends you sprawling into a skyscraper, which collapses around you in a cascade of steel and glass. But the dust barely settles before you're on your feet again. You can still feel pain, but it's manageable; your healing factor kicks in almost immediately.
"Bring in the tankers," Dr. Nakamura instructs, her voice now urgent. The team of workers positioned at the edge of the battle move quickly, navigating through the wreckage in a convoy of vehicles loaded with blood coagulant drugs. Their mission is perilous, but necessary.
Godzilla senses the new threat and turns its attention toward them. Desperation fuels your next move as you unleash a spiral heat ray, searing into Godzilla's side. It bellows in agony, even showing signs of faltering. You charge in, using your immense strength, and lock with the creature. You manage to pin it down momentarily, its tail flailing wildly.
"Hurry, now!" you scream, hoping the team can hear you. As blood coagulant sprays into Godzilla's gaping maw, it jerks violently in a futile attempt to resist. Its painful cries are deafening.
Godzilla's movements grow sluggish, its energy sapped as the coagulant takes effect. Suddenly, it collapses onto the ground. For a split second, the world stands still; the monster is temporarily immobilized.
"Now, shift back!" someone yells through the communication line. Wasting no time, you will yourself back to normal human size. The process is as disorienting as the growth, yet strangely more manageable. The world expands before your eyes, regaining its overwhelming grandeur.
Panting and covered in sweat, you watch as Godzilla starts to stir again. It's not done, but neither are you.
"Regroup!" one of the workers shouts. Dr. Nakamura approaches you, a look of awe and relief on her face.
"You did it..." she says softly, as if still processing it. "You actually did it."
But this isn't over—you know that. Godzilla will rise soon, and the battle will continue. Yet, in that moment, you've given humanity something it desperately needed: a fighting chance.

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, as well as having kaiju abilities without radiation (including non-radioactive atomic breath (which reaches temperatures of 500,000 degrees Celsius and can melt through almost any structure or enemy), spiral heat ray, immense strength, durability, extreme temperature resistance, healing factor, tidal wave generation (only in water), energy absorption and projection, extrasensory awareness, and thermal vision), 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 drugs by spraying them 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, although it would still get back up and fight at any moment). 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).
