Chapter 37 - suit and tie

[Washington D.C, December 25th 3:28 Am]

Secretary: "Sir we are under attack! New York, New Jersey, Columbus, Vegas and even Kansas City are heavily destroyed! Do you think this could be an attack from our enemies?! Russia? China?"

The president stares at the monitors in the Oval Office with a grim expression. He wipes sweat from his brow and stares at her

Jackson: "I've only been president for a month after the death of president johnson…this is way out of my pay grade. This isn't Russia or the Chinese…this is something we've never seen before…has the national guard been sent out yet?!"

The secretary looks down at her tablet and shakes her head in disbelief and disappointment

Secretary: "The national guard, military and the navy have all been sent out…but they are getting wiped out! These people have some sort of supernatural powers! It feels like we're fighting gods…"

The ceiling of the Oval Office cracks before caving in…Markus floats in with an evil grin holding a cup from a restaurant

Markus: "Ahh…America…the land of the free…and the land of the governed. How… patriotic. You know, in my country we don't have a…Wattaburger…it's delicious really…oh and merry Christmas…"

Jackson stands up and steps back confuses and terrified. Markus lands infront of him and clears his throat

Jackson: "Who..who in the world are you?! And what are you?! We're you created by the Russians?! Chinese?!"

Markus: "I was made by my mother and father…I see you humans have yet to discover the Yawe in your bodies…pitiful."

Jackson: "What are you referring too?…"

Markus: "Yawe…the keystone to living…you humans don't know your history. All living beings are connected by the grace of Adam and Eve…but some of use are more blessed then the rest…"

A group of secret service agents burst into the room aiming their guns at Markus. He sips from his cup before the men all slash into pieces

Markus: "Like I was saying…I am Markus Mahrogu. I'm going to keep this simple and easy…surrender your country and we will spare….a quarter of your civilians…if not…we will slaughter you all."

Jackson: "What in gods name would make you think I would ever surrender to the likes of you?! What are you some supervillain?!"

Markus: "China, Russia, and the entirety of the African continent has surrendered. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the world does…so president Jackson. What will you do?"

Jackson stares at Markus then glances at his secretary who is hiding behind a couch…he glances over to the red button on his desk before sighing

Jackson: "Tell me more about this…Yawe…"

Markus's eyes widen and he grins widely

Markus: "You've made the right choice…Mr. President…."

[G.O.D headquarters]

Connie and Stein tower over Yami who is chained to the ground and covered in his own blood. Stein blows the smoke from his cigarette before turning to Yami

Stein: "What's Markus's weakness. If you tell us we maybe won't kill you."

Yami: "I-I'm noth thelling you nothin…"

Connie: "How about we break more of your limbs…or pull more of your teeth out."

Yami: "Do wath you want…buth my sthon is a god! And godths don't have weaknethes…"

Connie sighs and stein chuckles. Connie snaps his fingers before 2 large men walk into the room holding crow bars…stein and Connie walk out the room as the men begin their work

Connie: "This was a waste of time. We should be out there getting rid of these idiots…"

Stein: "Be patient Connie. We still have to come up with a plan…the Mahrogus are spread across the planet…if we want to get rid of them permanently…we must kill Markus and Eve."

Connie: "Killing Eve is off the table. She's still in my little sisters body…we will find a different want to get rid of the scum."

Lady Hiem walks into the hall holding her crystal ball. She frowns and shakes her head

Lady Hiem: "I'm ashamed to call myself a Mahrogu…this isn't what Adam would want…I believe Eve doesn't really care about bringer our people back from planet Řůllop…she just wants to kill the king of the planet."

Connie: "That's even worse…now our situation has gotten dire. We will head out and start our battle."

Lady Hiems ball glows and shows visions of the destruction and the carnage of the world

Stein: "In a way…this is what Tami Cujack wanted."

Connie: "This is the plan…Me and Kora will go after Eve while Garfield an-"

Garfield stumbles into the hallway…his hair completely grey and his eyes dark and soulless. He steps forward and points at Connie

Garfield: "No…I will go after Eve…you are the only one who is capable of killing Markus Mahrogu. You are our leader. Show us why we follow you, Connie Warri! Show us what it means to be the leader of the G.O.D!"

Everyone stares at Garfield wide eyed…Connie clears his throat and nods his head

Connie: "You're right…my mother would want me to defeat Markus…Garfield. I'm trusting you with Tatskis life."

Garfield: "Count on me sir…"

A few hours later the members of the G.O.D stand in a large white room wearing suits…Garfield fixes his tie while Kora wears an all black dress

Garfield: "You look good…"

Kora: "Look but don't touch…"

Connie clears his throat…Stein blows smoke into the air as the pressure of the looming assignment increases

Connie: "This is our last mission as the G.O.D…I'm proud to call you all my subordinates. And I'm proud to call you all my friends…after our battle we will give our fallen soldiers a proper funeral…these suits represent our looming deaths. We are the G.O.D! "

Everyone nods grinning ear to ear…stein stands next to Lady Heim…Kora raises her hand and several portals begin to open behind them…Connie takes one more look at his team…his face serious. They all nod as they get what he's trying to say…they all step through the portals before vanishing…

Lady Hiem: "May Adam protect their souls and bodies…"

Stein: "Yeah…"

Lady Hiem: "Why aren't you joining the battle young stein?"

Stein: "My original body has already died…so staying back would be best for me…plus…we have our own battle here…"

Stein turns around blowing smoke into the air…he stares at the figure in the darkness of the room…the figure steps forward and Hana is grinning ear to ear…

Hana: "Hello…we need to have a little chat."

Stein: "Good grief…"

[Buckingham Palace, New England]

Garfield and Hiro appear over the palace falling out the sky. Garfield throws a kaiju from his pocket and it expands catching them before crashing into the ground outside the castle…

Hiro: "Hey man?! You could have let us down any more easier?!"

Garfield stands up and slicks his hair back. Multiple Mahrogu soldiers surround them…then they feel a dark presence…Eve in Tatskis body floats from the castle wearing the crown of England

Eve: "Seems like the paparazzis here…you know when I first arrived here on this planet…the kingdom of England was still a hunch of Homo sapiens…what a strange world we created."

Garfield: "I'm going to be taking that body back…it's not nice to wear the skin of another person…and make her do such vile things."

Eve: "Oh…a confident one…show me how powerful my creations are!"

Garfield: "Mother…"

The mother Kaiju crawls from the ground wrapping her arms around Garfield's shoulders…Hiro slams his fist together and lightning strikes in the air and his eyes glow blue….

Eve: "Excellent…"

[Times Square]

Connie and Kora stare at the pile of dead Mahrogus…Connie fixes his tie and kora wipes the blood from her face

Connie: "Are you sure you want to kill your own people."

Kora: "They won't listen to reason. No point in trying to save them…"

Markus appears wearing a Yankees cap and a "I love NYC" shirt

Markus: "You two are late!! I've been waiting on you…let's get this battle started!"

Connie punches his chest and his armor appears on his arms and chest. Kora cracks her fist and stands behind Connie
