Godzilla, King of the Monsters; Gamera, the Last Hope.

The two titans stare each other down; neither one lets the other out of sight. Gamera grunts, as though to convey a message for Godzilla to leave; the tall reptilian responds gruffly by baring his teeth. It's clear that he refuses to leave and won't stop at anything for what he seeks, not even the lives of the humans he once viewed as inconsequential to pay any mind to.

Gamera gets the message and closes his eyes briefly. Once he opens them again, a look of determination replaces his brief period of hesitation; he roars loudly at his new enemy. Godzilla responds in kind and charges forward with pure rage in his eyes.

The last hope of Humanity stands firm and waits as the King of the Monsters gets closer by the second. Just as Godzilla is about to grab hold of Gamera's head, the guardian monster activates his flight mode at the last second, quickly grabbing the ancient predator by the neck, flipping in mid-air, and letting go of his opponent just before he disengages flight mode and returns to a standing position.

This move throws Godzilla back all the way past the end of the street and into an abandoned hotel. The force of the throw leaves Godzilla on his side; he's covered by the collapsed debris of the building he crashes into.

Gamera lumbers towards the downed King of the Monsters and looks down on him. All of a sudden, the great tail of the alpha predator sweeps out Gamera's legs, causing him to fall onto the back of his shell; he rocks from side to side, trying to right himself back up, but fails to do so.

Godzilla, meanwhile, uses this brief lapse to get back to his feet and shake off the building rubble on his body; Godzilla looks down on the downed guardian monster and raises his foot, preparing to stomp on the giant turtle's more vulnerable underside.

Out of the blue, Gamera lets loose a plasma burst that impacts his opponent in the face and sends him reeling to the side. As Godzilla puts his clawed hand to his face, Gamera takes the opportunity to successfully get back up to his feet.

Godzilla isn't one to take such a blow quietly; he swings his tail, aiming it at Gamera's head; the guardian monster ducks just in time and spins around.

As Godzilla turns back around after swinging his tail, Gamera turns around at the same time and slashes his elbow spikes across the king's abdomen; this briefly causes Godzilla's upper body to lean forward from the blow. Gamera proceeds to grab hold of Godzilla's lowered head and begins pushing extremely hard.

The guardian monster forces the King of the Monsters backwards, through twin convention centers. However, Godzilla refuses to have any of this and begins resisting; he's no longer being pushed back by the Atlantean turtle.

Godzilla proceeds to quickly raise his head upwards and slams Gamera from underneath his jaw. This attack sends the turtle's head backwards, stunning him, which gives the alpha predator time to grab the Atlantean creation by the neck with one hand. He raises Gamera and proceeds to throw him at the Xiao Long Insurance building, effortlessly sending him nearly a kilometer away.

Gamera crashes into the middle of the building, causing the top half of it to collapse. As Gamera slides down and slumps against the bottom half of the building, he looks around.

The guardian monster groggily looks at his surroundings; he barely notices Godzilla advancing on him. Right next to him are a group of civilians evacuating from the lobby of the Xiao Long Insurance building; they're escorted by a dispatch of Chinese military forces. Godzilla notices them as well and suddenly roars louder than ever before; his eyes and dorsal plates glow with the telltale signs of him preparing his powerful atomic breath.

Gamera notices this just in the nick of time. Godzilla unleashes his atomic breath directly at the evacuating civilians, but Gamera jumps back up to his feet and puts his hand in the way of the blast.

The guardian monster roars in pain, but he refuses to allow the atomic breath to make contact with the Humans. As he continues to protect them, the civilians and soldiers safely get underground to a shelter; Godzilla notices this and ceases his assault; Gamera pulls his hand to his body; it's nearly completely vaporized, save for the metallic bones.

The king of the monsters bares his teeth, apparently satisfied with his handiwork; he steps forward with claws ready, but stops short. Godzilla watches as Gamera raises his bare bones hand into the air.

All of the flames left in the wake of the destruction of the city begin rushing to Gamera's hand. The flames begin to contort and morph, forming a new flaming replacement hand around the guardian of the universe's charred bones. In addition to this, Gamera's eyes glow a bright orange.

The lines of Gamera's under-shell glow the same orange colour, and flames erupt from the spaces between the individual plates of Gamera's upper shell.

Godzilla, sensing his opponent's rising power, begins channeling his own energy; his dorsal plates, eyes, and gill slits glow bright white. The two titans briefly stare each other down; lightning and thunder echoes across the city, and soon enough, the two charge at each other.
