Kaiju Wars: Kraken

Deep within the warship Skrit N’Vahk, Kronos materialized in a swirl of red light before the high commander. The elderly Kiliaak, though he was dwarfed by the kaiju before him, looked down on Kronos with an air of anger and disappointment. In a shock, Kronos looked around in confusion.
“What?.. where am I? I was fighting the creature and-“ Kronos cut off as he saw the commander. “ah, Commander Seil-Kha, what happened?”

The high commander cut him off with a wave, “You are a disgrace to us, Kronos. Your barbaric ways have cost us already. I feel it may have been a mistake to uplift you, you foolish Tahng brute!”
Kronos’ blood boiled. Any mention of his tribal origins was like an insult to him. He tried to speak again, but Commander Seil-Kha hissed, “Silence! You have embarrassed us by your failure, and are unfit for command. I declare you demoted! You will be stripped of your authority.” As he said this, four robotic arms emerged from the walls. Like a flash of lightning, they held fast Kronos’ arms, and grabbed him by the throat.
“You have lost your title for your arrogance, and have dishonored my people.” Seil-Kha said.
The last arm came forth and disconnected the ceremonial fan from Kronos’ armor. Kronos howled with rage as the familiar weight of the status symbol was gone, and shook the restraints, but he was weak from the battle and unable to break free. The arm removed his horned helmet and emblazoned greaves. Kronos blinked as his jet black blood dripped into his 6 eyes. As he began to slip from consciousness, the high commander called forth another kaiju. The massive beast strode into the room, his two tails curled and swished as he walked. High Commander Seil-Kha proclaimed, lifting his arms, saying
“As your predecessor falls, you shall be raised. I name you Warlord Ghi-Darah of Skrit-Navahk!” Kronos blacked out, Ghi-Darah’s triumphant roar filling his ears.

Kronos was once again an outcast, as he was on Vin-Tahng. His disgrace was known throughout the ship and his armor, still coated with blood, was put on display. Now, weeks later, as the fighting on earth continued, Kronos looked again at this armor. Seeing it for the first time since his fall, Kronos saw blood he did not recognize. His was black as pitch, and Leviathan’s bright scarlet mixed with it on the armor. As Kronos stood in the grand plaza, an idea struck him like a bolt of lightning. Driven with the force of this plan, he leapt up and tore the cover from the display. He grabbed the armor, and ran to a room far from the plaza, where he had not been since the fall of Vin-Tahng.
Back in the laboratory where he was uplifted, Kronos hatched a plan with the scientists at work there. A plan to create a weapon that would restore Kronos’ honor and turn the tide of the war.
Using the blood of Leviathan as well as his own, Kronos extracted DNA, and crafted a genetic anomaly. Combining the fighting spirit and agility of Leviathan with the raw power of Kronos, the Kiliaak scientists worked. Nearly one year since Kronos’ defeat, it was ready. Now, it was time to wake it up.

Cool, Calm, peaceful…
The creature floated placidly within the tank. Without warning, the warm liquid drained out of the tank. In shock from the cold air, the creature opened its eyes. The first thing it saw was Kronos, looking down at it. Images and memories raced through the young one’s mind.
Invader… danger to earth… Monster…
Before Kronos could react, the creature wound up and punched Kronos to the side of the head. It charged the device on its chest, but felt nothing. Kronos barked an order, and robotic restraints burst from the walls, immobilizing the creature. It looked for the device on its chest, but saw nothing. Roaring, it thrashed its four arms against the restraints.
Wait… four arms..?
Genetic memories clashed as the experiment felt memories of Leviathan on Earth, as well as those of the kaiju before him. Kronos strode back to the creature, chuckling as he moved his stricken jaw. “There must be something in that monster’s DNA for violent outbursts. The doctors told me you may have problems. You are likely unstable. You bear the memories and knowledge of those you are made from. You are not the One on Earth. You are the weapon that will regain my honor, and together, we will destroy humanity!”
Over the next few weeks, news of the construction of the creature, now named Kraken, had spread throughout the ship. However, beyond the view of the public eye, Kraken continued to lose his grip on reality. The memories of Leviathan, Kronos, and the holes between the two, confused and terrified the poor creature. He could not determine the boundary between his lives and those of his predecessors. He clawed at his body, leaving lasting scars like Leviathan’s. He was often locked away in darkness, fully restrained, for days at a time.
Kronos was permitted to take Kraken to earth for a “test run”, under the command of Ghi-Darah’s right hand, Gigan. Once there, they faced one of the Earth's many kaiju defenders, as well as the might of the GDF. By the end of the day, however, they had triumphed. The creature known as Anguirus, and countless GDF soldiers lay dead. TKraken, who fell into a rage of brute force under the stress of his first battle, had slain them almost singlehandedly. The surviving GDF forces had fled, and humanity trembled at the news of the creature.

The day truly belonged to Kronos and his creation, and this won him much favor among the Kiliaak people.
Meanwhile, King Ghi-Darah continued the invasion, but continued to be pushed back by the forces of Earth. The King of Terror was not satisfying the public and dissent grew as more and more of the attacking Kiliaak stopped supporting Ghi-Darah.
Kronos reveled in the chaos. There could be no better time to force power to change hands.

NAME: Kraken
HEIGHT: 80 Meters.
WEIGHT: 50,000 tons
FACTION: Aliens

POWERS: Kraken holds a perfect marriage of Leviathan’s agility and fighting spirit, as well as the brute strength of Kronos. He is amazingly strong, and can crush foes with ease. He has four arms, and fights with a certain unpredictability that makes him hard to defend against. The hard armor on his body can be used to defend himself, as well as for attacking with the sharp edges. Kraken often loses himself in bouts of berserk strength, and attacks enemies like a whirlwind.

WEAKNESS: Kraken is entirely insane. This is due to the mixing of genetic memory from Leviathan and Kronos. He is known to hurt himself in his confusion, and loses himself in his mind sometimes. There is also something that the scientists at the GDF refer to as the Kiryu effect. Kraken seems, most of the time, to be entirely unable to fight against Leviathan. He seems to have a deep connection with him, and won’t attack with the vigor that he usually shows.

{and here's everybody's favorite tank grown psychopath, Kraken! honestly, I think that this guy has come the farthest out of all my kaiju. does anyone remember when he had that awkward hammerhead? yuck. I love the new design that i got for him, and think the pic came out great! also, King Ghi-Darah is obviously ghidorah. the name is Kiliaak, and the humans mispronounce it. the same way Americans say Godzilla, while the Japanese say Gojira. enjoy!}
