Kaiju Wars: Gigan

Description

Kronos sat aboard his throne. Deep within the bowels of the warship Skrit-Navahk, he seethed with anger. Taking over the earth and subjugating the humans should have been a trivial matter. The natives were small and fairly weak, and the planet itself was miniscule. Yet, again and again, the humans hung on and refused to accept defeat. Their sheer fighting spirit baffled Kronos. Clearly, the many monsters that called the planet home were not their only asset. But, among the forces of Earth was that blasted creature, the hated one called Leviathan. That beast was responsible for much of Kronos’ suffering recently, and may be one of the largest obstacles to Earth’s domination. Many attempts had been made to kill the creature, but all had failed. Clearly, it was time for desperate measures. Kronos called forth a kaiju from his ranks.
Within minutes, the kaiju was before Kronos. It knelt before its ruler, its cybernetic body tense with determination. In the past, it had served Ghi-Darah before his fall. By now, the cyborg had wisely dropped its past allegiances in favor of the new lord. The assassin spoke, its voice like a knife scraping across a block of ice, cold and merciless.
“Honor through victory, my lord.” Gigan said, greeting his superior as was custom. “You summoned me?”
“I have a task for you to carry out, cyborg. I am sending you to Earth to kill the one called Leviathan. Tear him to shreds, but bring me his hands. You will go alone, and as soon as possible. Now leave me.”
Kronos waved his hand, and Gigan was teleported out of the throne room. Leviathan possessed amazing power with the devices placed upon his body. Surely much could be gained by acquiring this technology.
… … …
The Skrit-Navahk hovered in Earth’s orbit like a dark cloud. An airlock on the hull opened, and Gigan shot into the vacuum. The single kaiju flew like a rocket, and entered the atmosphere within seconds. Gigan planned for the attack, thinking of a way to draw his contract out of hiding. In a moment, Gigan had touched down a mile and a half south of the city of Boston, his villainous mind already hatching the plan.
… … …
Gigan slashed through the side of a building. Humans ran from him in droves. Gigan stomped his bladed feet into the crowd, slicing some of the fleeing humans to ribbons. [Leviathan seems to respond best to the suffering of these creatures. There’s no more efficient way to draw him out.] Gigan reveled in the destruction. It couldn’t be too long before his target came.
Off the coast, Leviathan sensed the attack. Among other things, he had gained the ability to sense human emotions from the Seatopians. He swam for the city at top speed, ready to stop the invader. Soon, the kaiju emerged from the water and faced the attacker. Gigan was waiting for him, and screeched a challenge as he stepped over the wreckage of the Boston aquarium. Leviathan’s chest flickered, and his robotic voice sounded.
“This world is under my protection. Leave now, and you can keep your life, monster.”
Gigan screeched again, a sound like tortured metal, and said “This is no negotiation. Warlord Kronos has ordered your death, so it will be.”
Leviathan roared and said “Your ‘Warlord’ could not take me himself. You are a fool to believe that you could.” He raised his fists and roared as a green light coated his arms. Leviathan charged Gigan at full speed. With a mighty crash, they collided, Gigan’s enormous blades crossed before Leviathan’s blow.
As the two struggled against each other, there was a flash of light and an explosion. Gigan shrieked with pain. Leviathan leapt back and whipped his head toward the source of the attack. Rising from the water was an enormous drill. As the remnants of the battleship left the ocean, Leviathan recognized it. The GDF battleship Gotengo had joined this fight.

Even after all these years, you don't see a Gigan design quite like this. Especially with a dull green, and purple color scheme (which is fitting for the alien race he serves). And he already seems like a cool, and fun villain to have around. I really do wish we could have seen more of him in the series. He seems like he'd be a good secondary villain for the series, aside from who we already had.:)
