Godzilla vs. Repto

An idea for a new Godzilla film

Summary: After being freed from the ice, Godzilla swims out to the Cape of Good Hope (or Bad Luck in this case) and destroys Cape Town. Then the American military discovers that a new monster, Repto, which is under the control of a diabolical reptilian alien race of the same name, is at work in South Africa. Godzilla must fight this new menace or the world will fall to the Reptos.

Prologue
The arctic is a cold place all year round. The only place that is cold enough to keep frozen the great King of Monsters: Godzilla! He had been stuck in a monstrous glacier (even more monstrous than him) for ten years. But two American explorers were about to change that.

Randy Courtheis and Mark Shubein were on their way back to the research base. Winter was coming and the storm clouds were already visible in the distance. "C'mon," said Randy briskly. "We have to hurry! There's no time!"

"I'm going as fast as I can," said Mark huffily. "My lungs are burning!"

Randy was about to reply, when he noticed something sticking out of a nearby snow mound. "What's that?" he asked, pointing to it.

"Looks like the rudder of a ship to me," said Mark. "Let's go."

"That's no rudder," said Randy. "It has ridges going down the side. Come on, let's check it out."

Mark was about to protest, but the object did indeed look rather interesting. "I guess it won't hurt if we get there a little behind the storm," he said, following his friend over to the mound.

The object looked rather like a fin, with thin spines going up and down. They couldn't see anything below the snow, so Randy began to dig away at it. When they got down to the ice, they stared in amazement. It looked rather like it was just the tip of a giant spine that could have belonged to an extinct animal.

"This is amazing!" said Mark. "Maybe it's a dinosaur! All preserved and everything! That would make us millionaires!"

Suddenly, the wind began to blow ferociously. "C'mon," said Randy, "We'd better get back or we'll be buried."

So the two hurried off.

Chapter One
Commander John Durham of the United States military sat in his office, conferring with two of his top scientists. "Sir," said one of them, Dr. Lovegrove, "Our satellite is picking up large amounts of radioactivity coming from the Antarctic area. We haven't been able to narrow it down yet, but we think it's on the Antarctic Peninsula somewhere."

"Are you sure?" asked Durham incredulously. "Antarctica rarely shows signs of radioactivity."

"But don't you remember the incident ten years ago?" asked the other scientist, Dr. Strangeglove. "The one with Godzilla?"

"He's been buried under hundreds of feet of solid ice!" exclaimed the commander. "There's hardly a way for him to escape!"

"Unless, of course, a couple of curious explorers try to get him out..."

The storm was relatively short, lasting only about two days. On the third day, the sun had come out and the sky was clear. But wait....what was that? No, no it couldn't be....

The ice was starting to crack. Dr. Smith, the head of the research base, looked out over the vast ice plain. "That can't be!" he exclaimed. "It's a negative 15 degrees! Unless, of course..."

Suddenly, the middle of the plain split open, and a monstrous head appeared. "GODZILLA!" shouted everyone there. The head came out even further, attached to a monstrous neck. The huge, maple leaf-shaped spines ran down the reptile's back. Its arms broke free, and it started to climb out.

"How in the name of night did he ever get loose?!!" shouted Dr. Smith as he and the other men ran down the corridor to the helicopter landing. "I don't know," answered another scientist. "Maybe it was that radiation we were testing!"
