Okay, I've never read any Lovecraft before, but this seems to really capture the feeling and narrative style associated with him (or at the very least, it sounds like a novel written in the mid-to-late 1800s), and it's pretty damn creepy. Which, since you were probably going for that, is a good thing. I can't wait to see whether the King of Monsters will reign victorious in the next chapter - which I'll get to read in about five minutes.

nice. I was thinking of doing a similar story, but you've done it far better than I could :)

Long live Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Bringer of Armaggedon, Child born of the Nuclear Flame, Nature's Avatar, Destroyer of Humankind. And all hail Cthulhu, mightiest of the Great Old Ones, High Priest of Yog-Sothoth, Sleeping King of Dreams, King of the Rapine, Brother of Hastur! Both Godzilla and Cthulhu are by far the greatest monsters ever imagined. I sense your respect to both of them.

fantastic!

Did Godzilla die immediately or does this story make itself the set-up for Godzilla versus Destoroyah?

Is 'Director' Serizawa briefly mentioned in this chapter any relation to the doctor in the first Godzilla movie? Great, now you gave me this weird idea of the old ones in the ocean getting killed by the oxygen destroyer. That would be EPIC!. Also, even though this story is finished and I haven't finished reading it yet, it would have been cool to see Mothra in this story communicating telepathically as a cameo seeing as she is also considered a diety. I really like this story.

I just kinda stumbled onto this story by accident, courtesy of Tv Tropes, and I have to say this was a very good read. Did a very good job at creating the atmosphere for the story and...well...Godzilla fights Cthulu. That's all that really needs to be said.

Your depiction of Cthulhu is incredible, how he changes form and coloration, how he is so above other, earthly beings he does not even notice them, including his own followers. He's not so much evil as amoral, he just lacks the ability to sympathize with lesser beings. He's not blind, however, and he recognized Godzilla's threat, once he'd proven himself a threat, small threat though he was. You've made a great vision of R'lyeh and Cthulhu.

You've also captured Godzilla well, instict, rage and primal energy wrapped inide a gigantic, radioactive fire-breathing dragon.

As I started reading the story, I thought, 'Man, I'd like to see Godzilla fight a Shoggoth! That would be a battle!' and I wasn't disappointed. Wonderful work!

I actually think you got the right tone for Cthulhu rising - made it scary as [expletive deleted]... and how hard is it to portray the thought process of something so utterly alien as the big C?

I think that truly, you have depicted a battle of gods in a pure fashion. I just loved the way this fight was done. It was in my mind very much a clash of opposing forces. Cthulu is all that is cold, superscientific and clinical. Godzilla on the other hand is raw power, fiery passion and the desire to win.

Cthulu is lucky that Godzilla kicked the bucket. Otherwise, the next time, Godzilla would have finished the fight.

And who knows, who can truly say if Godzilla is dead.

Hey, truly this thing is rocking so far. I love how in true lovecraft fashion, men fell and were devoured by the shaggoth. But in true Godzilla fashion, the mighty shaggoth had it's ass kicked by the mighty Godzilla in a radioactive blaze.

I rush to the rest of this fine story.

Very nice story! Always wanted to see Godzilla take on Cthulhu, and indeed this was that fight done well, you remained very respectful to both characters. With my sense of humor, though, I can't help thinking about that fight with Cthulhu just thinking Godzilla's too insignificant to give his full attention to, then suddenly it's "oh *, he seems to have burned a hole in my chest". Great stuff, dude- Insta-Fav!

Ia! Fhtagn!

AMAZING!

just wondering though, isn't hokkaido an island? you referred to it as a single city...

i think that there were a few things-for instance, the deep ones, that could have been further developed (did they all die? or do some stick lurk in the japanese waters?)

great style, amazingly lovecraftian

good job for most part, i loved everything except the end, the end sucked, you should have made cthulhu take control of godzilla or something it was very cinimatic. kick ass job and if you like cthulhu you should go to cthuugle and look for "tales of the plush cthulhu" that is great

i'll talk to you later, unless the stars are right then i'll have to rent a boat.
