Chapter 19:  The Battle for Skull Island

 

With each Earth-shattering punch, the ground around the battle shook. Kong unleashed a deafening roar as he beat the large arachnid into submission. The giant spider tried to flee from the King of Skull Island, but it was no use. The Great Ape smashed the thick tree that he was holding into the arachnid's body. With all his strength, Kumonga was able to knock Kong away from him. Kumonga lunged at the Great Ape with his stinger ready to pierce through Kong's flesh. The King of Skull Island broke the tree against the giant arachnid. The thick tree split in half after it collided with the large spider. Kong grabbed Kumonga's legs and dragged him across the ground. The Great Ape flipped the spider on its back and ripped the stinger from its body. Kumonga cried out in agony as Kong stabbed the stinger into one of his eyes. The Great Ape then pounded the giant arachnid more several times with his powerful fists.

 

A sudden cry from the trees caused Kong to stop his rampage against Kumonga. Kong looked down into the forest and his dark eyes fell upon that pale woman that he had encountered before. Kong stepped away from the broken body of the giant arachnid and continued to look upon the Elvish princess. He could see that she appeared to be in distress from the sight of the battle. The Great Ape stumbled back and sighed. That rage that had burned within him had faded away once again. He had defeated the enemy that threatened his kingdom, but the elf woman that brought him inner peace had become overwhelmed with the violence that she had witnessed. Rather than pound his chest in triumph, the King of Skull Island wandered off over the trees. The natives of Skull Island surrounded the body of Kumonga and started singing praises for their protector. Despite the songs and the praises, Kong headed back to his mountain. He sat down against the mountain and thought about the Elvish woman.

 

Hours had passed and the sun started to set over the island once again. Kong's eyes became heavy as darkness fell upon the Great Ape. His mind slowly drifted off to sleep while another day had passed on the island of legend. In his dreams, the King of Skull Island could see the princess standing before him. There was no longer a look of distress upon her but she was smiling at the Island's protector. The Great Ape felt calm while staring down upon the elvish princess. A short moment of peace fell upon the guardian of Skull Island. Suddenly, Kong was overcome with images throughout his life. He saw grotesque images of lifeless bodies piled around him as his dream quickly turned into a nightmare. Images of skullcrawlers appeared all around him along with the vicious Kraken. Kong heard the dreadful screeches of Ebirah and was caught in the webs of the terrifying Kumonga. The Great Ape then saw his island overrun with all the enemies that he had faced in his lifetime. 

 

Kong's eyes shot open as he lunged forward into the night. The King of Skull Island smashed his fist against the ground and he felt the world shake around him. Enormous cracks formed underneath his fist as the giant ape let out a powerful growl. His nerves started to calm once he realized that it was only a dream. The Great Ape sighed while stumbling back. He looked up into the night sky and looked over the countless stars shining down upon him. Before he could lay back against the mountain, Kong sensed a soothing presence nearby. The Great Ape looked down and saw a small pale figure emerging from the trees below. Illuminated by the stars, Kong could see the elvish princess looking up at him. He could see that she no was longer afraid. Kong slowly leaned down and put out his finger. Nuala reached out and rested her hand against the Great Ape's massive finger. Despite seeing a lifetime of battles and heartache, Nuala could see the good in the Island's protector. She knew that Kong sought peace for this island.  She also knew that as protector and guardian of the island, he had to be the warrior that he was brought up to be. 

 

Nuala laid down close to the Great Ape. With the moon shining bright over their heads, Nuala felt safe with Kong. She did not say a word to Kong as a smile formed across her cheeks. Despite the many dangers that lurked in the forests of Skull Island, Nuala fell asleep next to the colossal ape. Kong gazed down upon the small creature. He let out a steady breath while leaning back against the mountain. His eyes turned to the world around them. The Mighty King kept watch over the world and felt as if he was able to rest easy. He knew that this small elf was going to be more than a simple visitor on his island. There was a connection between the beauty and the beast that he had not felt in a long time. This small princess was something that he desperately longed for. She was a friend. While he felt it was his purpose to protect the natives and the many Island's creatures from any harms that had presented themselves, Kong felt something inside of him to keep Nuala safe at all costs.

 

Kong's eyes started to close once again. As he drifted off to sleep, the nightmares were no more. On that night, there were no nightmares. There were no painful memories or dreams that haunted the Mighty King through the night. Kong slept peacefully through the night with Princess Nuala close to his side. The Great Ape not only felt peace within him, he felt a sense of hope for the days ahead. While a great many dangers continued to lurk within the forests,  they were kept at bay during this night. Despite many sounds thar lingered in the thick forest, most were drowned out by the powerful snoring that came from the Mighty Kong. As dawn approached, the powerful snoring soon started to cease. 

 

The early sun brought a new day to Skull Island. Kong slowly opened his eyes and he rubbed his face. His pupils started adjust to the early morning light while he stretched out his arms. He looked down and saw that the princess was nowhere in sight. King Kong immediately jumped to his feet and looked around in all directions. He then heard a strange sound coming from the other end of the island. The Mighty King then started running toward the strange sound. With groans and grunts, the Great Ape was determined to find the source of the strange sound since he believed that could be where Nuala was taken to. He saw the beach up ahead and lunged out onto the sand. In the distance, Kong saw a giant metal ship within the ocean. He then turned his head and saw a group of humans staring up at the mighty ape. Within the group, he noticed Princess Nuala talking to one of the humans. She looked up at Kong and nodded. Kong sighed as he stepped back into the forest. He knew that Nuala was saying her goodbyes to the latest visitors of Skull Island. With a rumble in his stomach, the Great Ape started to search for breakfast.

"You can come with us! There is plenty of room." Milo said with an awkward smile while looking into the yellow eyes of the elvish princess.

 

"My destiny is not in Atlantis, Milo Thatch. I feel safe here." Nuala replied with a warm smile. 

 

"Safe? With a giant monkey and creatures the size of skyscrapers?" Sweet asked sarcastically.

 

"There are dangers here, but I feel safe with Kong. He will not bring me harm." Nuala replied. 

 

"Well, that sounds good. It was definitely nice meeting you, Princess." Sweet said with a large grin.

 

Sweet and several of the other crew members loaded up on a small raft. Milo stayed behind for a moment and rubbed the back of his head. He gave off an awkward laugh while looking into Nuala's eyes.

 

"The offer is always open. I'm sure Atlantis will be a safe place for you." Milo said.

 

"You have a great destiny ahead of you, Milo, but mine has led me here." Nuala replied.

 

"Come on, Mulan, there might be another princess for you to find." Vinny said while brushing passed Milo.

 

Milo looked over at the crew and then glanced back at Nuala. Nuala nodded and started to step back into the trees. Milo smiled and then goodbye. He turned to join the others in the raft. He got into the raft and they started heading toward the Ulysses. Nuala watched as they disappeared into the sea and then headed back toward the village. Many thoughts raced through her mind as she walked through the thick wilderness. One of the lingering thoughts that kept coming back to her was her brother. She knew that his allies would come searching for her and the last piece of the crown. While she thought about destroying it, she could not bring herself to do so. This piece of the crown was the last thing that she had from her father. She felt optimistic that the many dangers that lurked on the island would bring her a sense of security from the threats of the outside world. As she continued to walk through the jungle, she heard cries from up ahead.

 

Nuala started running as fast as she could. Through the trees, she could see a woman and child in distress. The child was the same girl that she had met on the beach upon her arrival on Skull Island. As Nuala made her way toward the mother and child, she then saw a towering figure standing over the trees. The colossal beast lunged forward and grabbed the mother with its mouth. The child screamed as she saw her mother being eaten alive by the beast. Nuala ran as fast as she could toward the girl. She grabbed the young girl and pulled her into the trees as fast she could. Nuala dragged the girl through the forest while the girl stared back at the beast. After disappearing into the jungles of Skull Island, Nuala stopped to allow them to rest. She could see that the girl was almost pale and her skin had become cold. She was shivering while sweat started to pour down her face. Nuala placed the palm of her hand on the girl's forehead. 

 

Nuala saw what had taken place earlier that morning. The girl and her family had gone to the beach to try and catch some fish. While her father had shot a couple of fish with his arrows, the ground started to shake. The water started to rise and that same beast had emerged from the sea. The girl's father had thrown a spear at the towering beast before being devoured. The girl's mother had grabbed the young girl and quickly ran off into the woods. The rhedosaurus followed the two through the island. Along the way, the creature had become cut up by the trees which caused its blood to spill down upon the mother and child. Nuala soon realized that there was a disease within the blood of the ancient beast that had infected the young girl. Tears formed in Nuala's eyes as she realized that the young girl was about to pass away. With Nuala being an elf, she was immune to this ancient disease but the humans on the island were in grave danger. 

 

As the young girl passed away, Nuala raced to find the King of Skull Island. She ran up to a riverbed and saw Kong eating on whatbappeared to be a large squid like creature. Kong almost smiled while looking down at the elvish princess. Before Nuala could yell out, she heard the thunderous roars of the rhedosaurus approaching them. Kong's head perked up while he saw the ancient beast emerging from the forest. The Great Ape threw down what was left of his breakfast and rose to his feet. Rhedosaurus unleashed a blood curdling roar that echoed through the trees while Kong pounded on his chest. He roared back in defiance as he stood before the rhedosaurus. The ancient beast that had been frozen in time realized that this Great Ape was the king of this island. As the rhedosaurus dug his feet into the ground, it lunged at the Mighty Kong. The ancient beast not only wanted to defeat the Great Ape, it wanted to take control of Skull Island. 

 

Meanwhile, Nuala ran through the forest as fast as she could. She needed to warn the village about the dangers of the creature's blood. As she ran, she saw something that caused her to stop in her tracks. She saw a metal ship quietly flying above the trees. Nuala's heart sank once she realized that her brother's allies had found the island of myth. With Kong in a battle for the throne of Skull Island, Nuala feared that a new darkness had found its way on the island and no one would be safe...

Hope you all enjoy

[leroypowell3]

I honestly think this one will be a little tougher for Kong than the last two. He may be in bad shape ofter this. 

[Venom 2009]

Nice to see Rhedosaurus in his first match.

I like the setup and give it a 5.0.

The only way I think Rhedosaurus could win, is if his blood can make Kong sick.

[Pizzaguy2995]

Kong. Admittedly I know nothing about his opponent, but unless it has feats comparable to fighting evenly with Godzilla or killing Mecha Godzilla then I see Kong winning in a cakewalk.

[JohnnyChany]

Nice work, Boratz. I need to brush up on some kaiju history. I had no idea that the Rhedosaurus was so influential in all that came after it. Curious to see what other hidden gems you will put out for this.
