Sea Dragon
Arctic Ocean, 6 am;
The environmental research vessel Asuka plunged through the cold surf. The UN had dispatched it as soon as possible to see what damage the reentry of the International Space Station may have done to the environment as well if any of the multimillion dollar project could be recovered from the area. The craft was an icebreaker, 490 feet long and painted white for the top and red on the bottom, powered by a nuclear reactor and was of Russian build, though the people on board came from several nationalities and the ship itself was on loan to the Japanese for scientific research in the Arctic. The captain of the vessel was an Japanese man named Hidaka, he'd been piloting other icebreakers for 30 years, he was 50 years old but it didn't show due to how much care he took in keeping himself in good health. He loved the sea, the freedom it gave him, and there was nowhere more free than the Earth's poles, which belonged to no one but the penguins, personally he preferred it that way. He drove the mammoth ship through the ice, enjoying the sound of ice cracking and breaking.
"Everything's looking good, so far no problems." Hidaka said. "Just a typical day onboard an icebreaker, just how I like it," he stated, but he knew to be prepared for disaster that could strike at a moment's notice, that was the way of the sea, always be ready for anything…little did he know what disaster waited in the ship's path.
The creature swam deep below the ocean's surface, his body moving through the water like a mammoth crocodile, limbs tucked close to his body and tail propelling him ahead at high speeds. His species, as Dr. Shinmura had assumed, had gills and lungs, though the gills were inside the nose, allowing not only for him to breath underwater but to smell the sea and detect possible prey. He heard the sounds of snapping ice from the distance. He approached, curious, though still enraged by his early awakening, as any creature would be in the situation.
"Sir, something just showed up on sonar, something huge!" said one of his crewmen, shocked.
"Is it a whale?" asked Hidaka, shocked and praying it wasn't something dangerous.
"No sir, its over 600 feet long and heading our way."
A chill went down Hidaka's spine at the announcement, what on Earth could be that big? "Probably just an iceberg," he said, though he realized how unrealistic that assumption was, icebergs didn't move. However, he had to reassure himself or risk panicking and making a mistake.
The mammoth dinosaur accelerated through the water. He detected the object approaching, it was 200 feet smaller than him but still, he considered it a challenger to his territory and prey, as well as a target to take his frustrations out on. He angled his dorsal fins properly and rocketed through the depths towards his opponent.
"Sir, its going to hit us!" altered another crewman, looking up from the sonar in shock.
"Brace for impact!" ordered Hidaka, clutching the controls to hold on. He looked in the direction the object was coming from, he saw three small cracks rip through the ice, increasing in size as spikes seemed to emerge from it. "What is that?" he asked, terrified by the sight. The ship was hit and pushed to the side by the impact, sparks flying from the controls. Hidaka was almost thrown through the bridge window but managed to hang on until the shaking subsided. "Damage report!"
"Several compartments are flooded, sir! But the crew was able to seal the watertight doors to stop further flooding!"
"What about the reactor?!"
The second-in-command rushed to the phone and called. "Its flooded! The reactor's been breached!"
'Gojira' had slammed his dorsal spines into the ship, slicing clean through but still it remained floating. The sound of creaking metal sounded to him like his prey was wounded and his nose detected the radiation in the water. His mutated body craved it, like a shark smelling blood in the water. He let out a roar, rising from the depths and breaking through the ice to go in for the kill.
Hidaka looked out the window as the mammoth head rose high above the bow of the ship, ice splintering up around it, its fiery eye staring right at him. Even a man of the sea that had never shown fear in the face of death like him shook with fear at this massive titan. He knew the legends, feared them, like many Japanese sailors, but he never thought it was real. "…Gojira…" he muttered, moments before the sea dragon swung its tail around into the command bridge of the ship, killing Hidaka and all within.
Gojira watched what he perceived as the head of his prey fly off at his tail whip, seeing it crash into the ice a fair distance away. He reared his head back and let out a long roar of victory before he tore his jaws into the side, tearing it apart in search of food. He spat out the tasteless metal but the promise of nuclear energy within it drove him to tear deeper inside until he found the source of the radiation, which he perceived as his victim's heart. He tore it free from the 'carcass' and held in his jaws, sinking his teeth into it before beginning to drain the radiation into his body, his dorsal spines glowing eerily as he did so. He kept feeding until the energy was depleted, at which point the threw the object away and let out one last roar before turning back to the depths, his tail inadvertently smashing into and snapping the Asuka in two, sending it and any remaining survivors to the frigid depths…

You may have seen this one on my Fanfiction.net page, but I've started updating it again, so I decided why not post it on DA while I'm at it? How many people even remembered I'm a Godzilla fan?
This is a Godzilla fanfic I started two years ago and just now started to finish. You may notice that my present day writing has changed a bit since then, I updated it a little, but I didn't see much to change really.
I will say, I actually liked this chapter a lot, cause I did a bit of research into ice breakers and other things and this is really the first time I used it.
