Threats Revealed
#7 of Claiming a Mate
Alright just so everyone is clear, this series of stories are based off the cartoon Godzilla: the Series and not the films or the original cartoon by Hannah Barbara. It has been expressed that there was some confusion, and I am just clearing that up.

Threats Revealed
Shaking water off his snout, Godzilla snorted and looked around. The entrance to his second lair was as he had left it. The crystals that lined the walls glowed, providing more than enough light for his mate. Just the thought of his small mate sent pleasant shivers down his spine. His mate. He had been luck when he had realised what the small human was to him. Komodothrax had been pleasant, but she had never been the one.
Inhaling, he moved down the passage leading to where his mate waited.
The clan was becoming annoying. Nick had been trying some new experiment. Godzilla hadn't had a bar of it, diving after a short time. He had better things to do; like, introduce his mate to the games they could play with their different sizes. Maybe even something a little different this time.
As he approached, his sensitive nostrils picked up another scent. This one foreign. Wet. Predator. Snarling, Godzilla surged the last 90ft. to the entrance of his sleeping chamber. A deep sigh escaped him when he saw Randy where he had left him.
That deep sigh brought Randy out of his doze. Seeing Godzilla standing had Randy relaxing against the stone. 'G-Man?'
Godzilla glanced around again before approaching his mate. Settling, he reached out with one claw, catching Randy's clothes on his talons and hurled him close. Godzilla ignored Randy's protests as he held him close, inhaling his scent deeply. Not a trance of that predator. Muscles that had remained tense since he had caught predator's scent. With a deep rumble, he swept his tongue over Randy's small form.
He watched in amusement at his small mate spluttered. 'What was that for?' Randy demanded.
Godzilla rumbled. .: Just missed your taste. :. Was his explanation.
.o.O.o.
Randy swiped a hand over his face, blading a thick layer of saliva off his skin. The claws shifted beneath him, cupping his body so that he was settled in a semi-fettle position. He glared up at his mate. Godzilla just stared back at him.
'What did Nick want?' Randy asked.
Godzilla settled him back down on the ground. The claws remained under his body, curling around him almost possessively. Randy squirmed as one of the talons brushed the length of his body. Sending a question along the link, he was met with the same answer he had just received.
.: Not much, :. Godzilla replied. .: He and the clan were trying an "experiment". I became bored after a while. :.
A chuckle escaped Randy's lips. He could remember the last time that his mate had been bored. He had been helping Craven with Nigel, and Randy had ended up being soaked curtsey of a wave. Randy had originally put it down to Godzilla moving in his sleep. But, during their talks, he had learnt that Godzilla had only been playing with him.
Enduring about another twenty minutes of being sniffed and licked to death, Randy finally managed to wiggle free. Turning on the spot, he glared up at his mate.
'Already, mister,' he growled, half playful half serious. 'Just what is going on with you?'
Godzilla rumbled, knowing that he could no longer lye to his mate. .: There was a scent present when I returned, :. he rumbled, staring Randy in the eye. .: Another had been in the lair. I was... worried that you had been stolen away from me. :.
Randy frowned. 'Why would another be in here?' he asked. 'It's your territory.'
.: That is a good question. :. Godzilla agreed.
.: Perhaps I can provide an answer. :.
Godzilla snarled, climbing to his feet and shoving Randy behind his leg at the same time. The creature that sat in the chamber's entrance tilted its massive head, staring at the two of them. Randy peaked out from behind Godzilla's right hind leg. Water dripped from the huge feelers that sprouted out of his head. Cold yellow eyes narrowed in on Randy.
Its rumble, unlike Godzilla's, chilled Randy to the bone. .: Hello there, Cutie. :.
.: Stay the hell away from my mate. :. Godzilla snarled. .:Who are you. :.
The creature turned its attention to Godzilla. Randy's mind struggled to comprehend just what he was looking at. The creature was easily as large as his mate, maybe even a bit larger. Four huge flippers replaced the limbs needed to move about on land. At the end of the huge tail was an appendage that looked like it belonged to a whale. The huge pair of jaws rested on a long serpentine neck. Surrounding the huge crest that ran down its back was a series of large patchwork markings. It was truly intimidating beast.
The yellow eyes moved on Godzilla before returning to the burning red orbs. .: Well, since you asked so nicely. I am Yamis, son of Chaos. And you are the Freak. :.
Godzilla's snarl sent shivers down Randy's spine. The last time he had heard that particular snarled was the first time Nick had been threatened. .: Watch what you say, Youngling. :.
.: Youngling? I'm older than both of you and the rest of your kind put together. :.
Randy, stepping into view, stared up that the creature. 'What do you want?'
Yamis turned his attention towards the small human, dragging over his small frame. The chill that had taken up residence in Randy's body since the creature's arrival intensified. .: Well, Cutie. For one you could give up this pile of scales and come live with me. :.
Randy backed up again as Godzilla stepped forward to shield his mate. .: I would suggest you leave. :. The mutation snarled.
Yamis turned his attention to the young lizard. .: Fine. I will leave. But understand this: I do not give up so easily. :. The demi-god turned his bulk and slipped from the cavern. But as he left, he through over his shoulder, .: Watch your back, Lizard. :.
Godzilla's body remained tense until he sensed that the other creature had left. Slumping as much as his body could, he shifted to curl around his mate and let the ground support his weight. Randy shifted away from the mutations hind legs and leaned back against his neck.
A few moments of silence prevailed before Randy broke it.
'I think I'm staying at my apartment.'
.:I agree. :.
