You wake to the sterile, white ceiling of a government facility. Your head pounds from the series of injections and electrical impulses delivered directly to your nervous system. You signed up for this. Anything to stop that monstrous behemoth—Godzilla. From the news reports, Tokyo is in ruins, and every other attempt by military forces has been futile. You remember the scientist’s words echoing in your head:
"We need someone willing to transcend human limitations. To become a titan. Are you in?"
You nodded.
A knock on the steel door breaks you out of your daze. The door opens to reveal Commander Tanaka, a retired JSDF officer leading Operation: Titan.
"Are you ready?" His voice is stern but not unkind.
"Ready as I'll ever be," you reply, swinging your legs off the cot, feeling an odd strength coursing through you.
"Good. The transformation is disorienting at first." He steps aside, letting you walk out of the room. You follow him down the hall, feeling a strange tingle in your veins, as if they hum with restrained power.
Outside, the air is tense. Technicians and soldiers scramble around, loading trucks and configuring high-tech weaponry. Commander Tanaka leads you to a vast, open area. The distant roar of Godzilla vibrates through the ground, sending a shiver down your spine. The beast is getting closer.
"Once you engage, remember to keep Godzilla distracted long enough for the coagulant team to get in position. Understood?" Tanaka’s eyes bore into yours, searching for any sign of hesitation.
"Understood," you say, steadying yourself.
Tanaka nods, satisfied.
"Initiate transformation," he orders into a communicator.
You take a deep breath. A flood of memories—family dinners, days at work, nights out with friends—all people you swore to protect. A flash of light surrounds you, and you feel your body stretching, bones growing, muscles expanding at an exponential rate. The sensation is surreal, overwhelming, a mixture of pain and exhilaration.
You expect your clothes to tear apart, but they grow with you, as do your senses, heightening to match your new kaiju-sized form. You look down and realize you’re nearly 400 feet tall, your perspective alien and awe-inspiring. The world below seems miniature, almost insignificant.
A distant roar pulls your gaze. Godzilla, in all its terrifying glory, emerges through the demolished skyline. Its blackened, twisted form pulsates with malevolent energy. The air itself seems to ripple with the heat radiating off its dorsal plates.
"Move out!" Tanaka’s voice booms through the earpiece, now a minuscule device even in your gargantuan ear.
You charge, each step a mini-earthquake, ready to meet the monstrous force head-on. As you approach, Godzilla’s strange, indifferent eyes lock onto you. This Godzilla isn’t driven by hatred or malevolence but rather an apathetic, almost zombie-like resolve to continue its rampage.
Godzilla’s massive tail swings, destroying what’s left of a high-rise building as rubble rains down around you. You meet the swing with outstretched arms, catching its destructive force. For a moment, the collision sends a shockwave of pain through your arms, but you stand your ground. You’re a titan now, and you didn’t come this far to falter at the first blow.
Godzilla roars, a sound so powerful it almost knocks you over, but you steady yourself, pushing against the tail with all your might. Buildings around you crumble under the pressure of your struggle. You can see the coagulant team in the distance, moving into position. You just need to hold out a little longer.
"Hang in there! We’re almost in position!" shouts Lieutenant Nakamura through the communicator.
You grunt in affirmation, planting your feet more firmly on the ground. You swing an enormous fist towards Godzilla’s head. It connects, sending a shockwave through both your colossal bodies. Godzilla reels, momentarily disoriented, and you take the opportunity to close in, grabbing its other arm. The heat from its body singes your skin, but you grit your teeth and hold on.
"Ready for injection!" Tanaka’s voice cuts through the chaos.
You see the squadron of workers lining up their equipment. Godzilla’s eyes narrow, realizing the imminent threat. It begins to charge its atomic breath, the air around its maw glowing ominously.
You know you have to buy them more time. You release one of Godzilla’s arms momentarily to swing, landing a blow to its chest. Godzilla stumbles, struggling to gather the energy for its devastating attack.
"Now, Nakamura! Now!" you yell.
As Godzilla opens its maw wide, ready to unleash its atomic breath, the squad rushes in, injecting the coagulant into the massive beast. Godzilla’s movements become erratic, its roar pained. You hold tight, every muscle in your body straining, refusing to let go.
Godzilla thrashes violently, but soon its movements start to slow, the coagulant taking effect. You can feel its strength waning, the monstrous creature’s breath becoming labored and its roars turning into pitiful whimpers.
Finally, Godzilla topples, its massive form crashing into the ruins of Tokyo. You step back, releasing a breath you didn't realize you were holding. The once unstoppable force lies motionless, a testament to human ingenuity and bravery.
"Mission accomplished," Tanaka’s voice is almost trembling through the communicator, the relief palpable.
You return to your regular size, the transformation back unnerving but swift. As you stand among the ruins, technicians hurriedly check your vitals, the reality of what you've just accomplished slowly dawning on you.
You look at Commander Tanaka and he nods, a small, grateful smile on his weary face.
"You did it," he says simply.
No words can quite capture the gravity of what’s just transpired. But as you watch the team secure the now dormant Godzilla, you can’t help but feel a surge of hope for humanity’s resilience. You may be an unwilling experiment, forever changed, but you’re a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming odds, the indomitable human spirit can prevail.

Prompt: Write a POV story of an 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 attempt to inject Godzilla with a coagulant 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 coagulant. 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).
