Chereads / I Kill Monsters For A Living (On Hold) / Chapter 2 - Gigantomachia

Chapter 2 - Gigantomachia

-Present-

"We're here!" She then stretched in relief and opened up the door. It was a large metal shed on the top of a building with one window on the back. We went in and it looked just like a living room, "Welcome back Ada." Said a man sitting down on the couch watching TV. The whole shed was turned into a living space with a bunk bed next to the window, a couch and a TV in the middle and a fully operational kitchen on the other side of the beds. "I brought us a new member!" Ada said as she pushed me towards the man on the couch.

"Bring him here and show me his right hand."

"Gotcha!" Ada then grabbed my arm and showed it to the man.

The hand had a large hole in the middle of it with a blue sphere hovering in the center of the hole. Everything else about the hand looked normal as if were a regular hand. He then let go of my hand and stood up. "Jesus Christ it's blue!"

"Yup, that's why I had to bring him here!"

"So... how many people did it take to make it?" He said as began to pour coffee. As he began to pour coffee I took a seat right down on the couch.

"94..."

It was around 5 years ago at the center of Alinam. An abnormally large mechanical creature estimated to be the height of 60 meters appeared out of nowhere. It had a face with no eyes or jaw and had rust under its eye sockets resembling tears. The creature floated in midair and had thousands of long mechanical arms sprouting out from it's back.

The creature then approached me and began to tear off the muscles of the people around me and devour them. People who tried to run away were grabbed by the creatures abnormally long hands and suffered the same fate.

"Next thing I knew, I woke up with a hole in my hand and this blue ball floating in the middle of it... Both of my parents died that day..."

"You were visited by it too huh?" He said as he showed me his right hand. His hand had a hole in the exact same place but a red sphere in the middle of his hand instead. "Mine was around 11, you must have some crazy ability then if it took 94 people to make that thing..."

"I can... rotate things."

Ada then sat down on the couch right next to me. "That explains what you did to that guys hand earlier right?"

"Seems lame..." (⌐■_■)

Ouch, well that hurt...

"My name's Mike by the way and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hey, at least it's better than nothing! David... this ability you obtained, we understand the pain it feels to lose loved ones like that. Knowing that you felt the same pain... I would like to give you an offer. I'd like you to join us, and if you are willing to help us, we can work together to make Alinam a better place."

"I don't know... if I should..."

"Your starting pay is $40 an hour."

"Deal!"

"Well, then it's settled!" Ada stood up and opened her arms. "Welcome to Gigantomachia! Enjoy your stay!"

I then turned to Mike and smiled, "I'm David... if you don't mind me asking, what do you guys do again?"

Ada then had an epiphany, "Oh crap, I remember what we do now!"

"Sweet, mind telling me?"

"We kill people and monsters." (╭☞ º ᴥ º )╭☞

"What?" ಠ_ಠ

~Ring Ring~

A telephone from under the bunk bed began to start ringing. "Yo, I'll take that call." Mike then reached under the bed and grabbed the phone, "Hello, Bonjour, hola, hallo, ni hao, this is Mike who Is this?"

~Silence~

"Alrighty, we'll get right on it." He then hanged up the phone and chucked it under the bed. "Let's go, we're going out."

What have I gotten myself into...

"Sweet, what are we doing today?"

"We're going to kill some monsters."

Monsters?

-10 minutes later-

"HOLY SHIT IS THAT A DRAGON!?" I yelled in both horror and excitement.

We stood on the top of a skyscraper looking into the ocean. In the distance, you could see a massive reptilian-like creature with wings that could cover a small town. It was flying towards us with its tongue sticking out, it's face looked similar to a dragon from fairy tale books. It had two abnormally large arms that reached the ocean floor dragging behind its body as it flew towards us.

Mike then chuckled and brought out a notebook. "I'm gonna call this one The Angel."

"The Japanese named these things Kaiju cause they first appeared in Japan," Mike said while writing in his notebook.

"So how long do you think it will take until it reaches us?" I say while tapping Mike on the shoulder.

"I don't know, maybe 5 or-"

And just in a flash, the Kaiju appeared in front of them out of thin air as if it could teleport. "5 or more seconds."

"Aha, I'm gonna die," I say to myself.

The creature then began lean it's body backwards. "It's gonna try to headbutt us, get behind me." Mike then clenched his right hand and took a deep breath. "I'M GONNA PUNCH IT'S HEAD OFF!" He put his left foot forward and placed his left foot back as the Kaiju began to headbutt the building we were standing on.

"He's going to fight that thing?!"

"DAM STRAIGHT HE IS!" Ada laughed as she crossed her arms.

"BOXING STYLE, METAL BEAM!" Mike then thrust his fist forward with immense strength in the air towards the monster as he did so a triangular portal appeared right above him. Out of the portal came a metal beam made completely out of steel thrusting itself right into the Kaiju's face, ripping its head clean off and landing into the ocean. "ADA THE BODY!" Mike yelled.

"Right on it!" Ada yelled as she jumped off the building onto the Kaiju's body.

"What the hell is she doing!?" I screamed and I looked over the edge of the building.

"She's teleporting the body into the ocean before it falls, you wouldn't want a giant body falling and killing citizens and destroying property."

Ada then slapped the Kaiju's corpse teleporting both her and the Kaiju and herself into the ocean.

Holy shit... we just killed a Kaiju.
