The sun rises on a cave that is home to The King of the Monsters, Dagon. He is watching over an egg that holds his son that he hasn't quite given a name to yet.
Dagon is now deep into his thoughts while watching the egg. His mate and the Queen of the Monsters Godzilly was severely wounded shortly after laying it while battling a M.U.T.O. Dagon killed the M.U.T.O shortly after but the damage had been done and Godzilly died in Dagon's arms.
You would expect that he'd be grief stricken by her death but he's actually not. Dagon isn't the most romantic Kaiju around and really He only wanted to have a mate so he can continue the Godzillasaurus species, their population have been dwindling due to constant attacks by the M.U.T.Os so he wasn't really seeking a real romantic relationship with anybody.
It wasn't like they're weren't friends or anything, they got along well....or at the very least they got along as well as you could with Dagon, but the relationship was more about preserving their species rather than romance.
Godzilly was actually attracted to Dagon though, due to his strong leadership and fighting skills, but she kept it to herself.
Still though they mated and Godzilly laid a dark blue crystal egg, which in their species meant it was male. Female eggs have a more pinkish color to them.
Dagon's thoughts are interrupted by two kaiju walking towards his cave. It's Behemoth and Methuselah, Two of the oldest kaiju alive.
"Good morning Dagon!" says the elderly pair as they bow to the King.
"Oh god not these two old fucks" says Dagon under his breath. He isn't really exactly known as the nicest guy to socialize with.
"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" remarks Behemoth. Dagon rolls his eyes in response
"How's the egg doing?" asks Methuselah
"Fine" answers Dagon.
"You have a name for the kid yet?" asks Behemoth
"Not yet" Dagon answers
"Come on it's been a month since Godzilly laid the egg you've got to have thought of a name by now" says Behemoth.
"Actually i do have one name floating in my mind right now" says Dagon.
"Well what's the name then?" asks Behemoth.
Dagon opens his mouth to speak but Methuselah cuts him off before he can say a word.
"Don't Behemoth, he did the same thing when i asked him a week ago and he just told me to get off the island" says Methuselah.
"Oh" responds Behemoth.
Dagon sighs in annoyance. He wouldn't want to lie to himself, He did not want to see these two.
"Why are you two here anyways? I thought i made it clear to the both of you and everyone else that i wanted to watch the hatching myself" Dagon says.
"Well one we wanted to know if the egg was doing okay" begins Methuselah, "And two i got some news about myself!" finishes Behemoth.
Dagon sighs in annoyance and crosses his arms, "Spit it out" he says.
"I got a date tonight!" Behemoth exclaims.
"Another one? Wow am i supposed to fucking care about your dating life?" Dagon says, sounding very irritated.
"Oh come on Dagon at least try to be happy for him!" says Methuselah.
Dagon then says "Well first of all i don't give a shit about people's dating lives in the first place and second of all, this is the eighth "date" he's had in two damn months!"
Behemoth feels a bit embarrassed, "Well i met this really cute mountain gal-"
"That's gonna reject you after the first date, that almost always happens" Dagon interrupts Behemoth.
"Ah ah you said almost, what about that one gal i dated that was from the Hollow Earth?!" asks a very defensive Behemoth.
"That "relationship" lasted only three days" Dagon retorts with.
".....Touché" says Behemoth after a pause, feeling even more humiliated.
Methuselah then tries to comfort his friend "Don't worry Behemoth, there'll be someone for you"
"Thanks man" Behemoth says, appreciating the helpful words his friend gave him
Dagon then says with a irritated tone "All i'm gonna say is that i don't care about your dating life so don't talk to me about it anymore, especially since you talk about it a million times, it drives me fucking crazy"
"Jeez I keep forgetting how much of an asshole you are" Thought Behemoth.
All three of them are silent, the mood getting more and more awkward which each passing second.
Methuselah tries to break the silence by announcing that he and Behemoth are leaving.
"Alright well uh.... we better get goi-"
Before he can finish though, they all hear a cracking sound.
They look at the cave and see a crack on the egg and that it was moving a little.
It was time.
Dagon rushes into the cave and shuts the cave door behind him. He watches as the egg starts moving around, He then gently places the egg in his hands just as the egg starts to crack more and more until a tiny arm goes through the egg, then a leg and then finally a face. The rest of the egg breaks and the baby Godzillasaurus lets out a tiny roar.
Dagon looks at the baby Godzillasaurus in awe while also being filled with pride. This is the heir to the throne, The Prince of the Monsters, but most importantly his son.
"I think i have a name for you little one" Dagon pauses for a few moments, thinking, before a name gets brought up in his mind.
"Your name will be Godzilla" He smiles after he says that, his soul filling up with more pride.
Suddenly he hears the cave door opening, It's Behemoth and Methuselah walking in. They see the baby Godzillasaurus in Dagon's hands and their faces turn into looks of awe and wonder.
"Awwwww he looks so cute!" exclaims Behemoth.
Dagon then starts cradling Godzilla in his arms. "You can look at him but you ain't touching him." He says.
"His name is Godzilla?" That's not a bad name." says Methuselah.
Behemoth then starts saying "You named him after Godzilly? That's actually really lovely of yo-"
"I didn't, I named him after our species" Dagon says, interrupting Behemoth.
"Oh then why is that?" asks Behemoth.
Dagon looks into Godzilla's yellow eyes. "There's something really special about him, When i teach him my way on how to be a strong leader he's gonna grow up to be an excellent King." The elderly pair nodded in response.
"Well we should probably be going now, so you and the Prince can spend some time alone" Methuselah says. "Come on Behemoth let's go."
"But i want to play with the ki-" Behemoth stops in his tracks when he sees Dagon glaring at him.
"Yeah we should be out of here now." Behemoth says, chuckling nervously.
Baby Godzilla starts giggling in response.
"Hey Behemoth i think he likes you!" Methuselah says while chuckling himself.
Dagon sighs and they says, "I want to be alone with Godzilla for a little while before i show him to everyone so don't come visit for a bit."
"Understood" Methuselah says.
Methuselah and Behemoth say their byes and leave Dagon's territory.
Dagon sees them leaving and then looks at Godzilla, still holding him in his arms, "Someday you're gonna rule over this place" he says, before shutting the cave door.
