James Parker lives a double life that few people know about. One that few people would expect. The life that of a kaiju.

A not so typical college basketball player, At 8 years old he was determined to be gifted and was given the opportunity to skip a few grades. He took advantage of the opportunity and at 12 he discovered he was gifted with speed taking up multiple sports, excelling at all of them and scholastically being unmatched eventually he graduated high school at 14 as valedictorian and entering college at 16 with the hopes of immediately starting on the basketball team. Learning the age restriction on college hoops he majored in engineering with a minor in automotive eventually getting onto the team at 18 years old. He finished college at 21 years old and immediately started a shop building cars and engines. Throughout this time hiding the fact that the gifts were not truly his own, only revealing his secret to his best friend Kyra and his mom. James was a Kaiju, one of the few of his kind to be both human and kaiju, an earth defender having rarely been needed to fight but fighting every chance he got. Smaller than most kaiju, being in the same size range of Baragon what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in tenacity and sheer speed, having taken down the likes of Space Godzilla and Gigan.

3 years having passed, his shop growing to unimaginable size in popularity and volume of business he uses his business as a means to hide his battles as a kaiju claiming he is out on business trips for weeks at a time.

3:30 in the morning, James makes his way into his home, head hung low and back slightly arched. His forehead dotted with spots of blood, his shirt is rolled up and pressed against his left side which is sliced open from just below his underarm to his belly button.

He makes his way down the hallway to the bathroom where he walks into the shower not even bothering to take off his shorts before turning it on letting the water cleaning out the wound some. He steps out and walks over to the mirror and raises his arm to look at the slice wincing some as the wound opens a little.

He suddenly flushes and stumbles back, grabbing the sink to keep from falling down. He kneels down by the sink and lays his head on it.

Kyra was an average girl, with a less average love for every animal without legs or those who you needed to feet with bugs and insects. Also less average about this young women was her best friend but that was something nobody but her and his mother knew, and it also was the secret that she would always keep.

As a young girl Kyra already gathered animals like newt's and frogs, later she also started to search for snakes and with big dislike from her mother, she brought all those 'horrible' animals back home to give her family a look at her new friend. Growing up into a rebelling teenager, her love for snakes and lizards didn't leave, it just grew bigger and for her sixteenth birthday she had gotten from her parents her first real living snake. Once high school was over, no body had to ask Kyra what she wanted to do, she even already had her acceptance letter for the herpetologist college and after summer she started there.

Now she is twenty and just finished her school. James, her best friend and she lived in the same apartment building, right next to each other and Kyra's spare room? You are guessing pretty good already, it is filled with three terrarium's. Two with snakes and the last one with three bearded dragons.

Kyra woke up from hearing someone in the apartment next to her and looked at the time. 3:30 am.. She knew who just got home but she hadn't known that he had been on a new mission. Most of the time he told her that because then she, even if it sounded so simple, would take care of his plants. She now putted on her bathrobe over her satin sleepwear and putted on her slippers. Taking his spare key, she walked into his house and looked at the trail of blood leading her to the bathroom. ''Naked or not.. I'll now open the door'' she said and she opened the door, she saw him laying there, bend over the sink half and bleeding a lot. ''My god.. James'' she said, worried now and she walked up to him. ''James.. James..'' she said and tried to wake him up. ''James, wake up..'' she slowly started to shake him.

James cries out as he is shook. He stands up slowly still bent over, in his slumped over position the blood on his head was shown to be a cut just inside the hairline. He grabs an old wash cloth and wets it to wipe his face some. "Kyra, I need you to sew me up, I can't go to the hospital for this." James walks out of the bathroom and towards his den, grabbing a first aid kit. He reaches into a mini fridge and pulls out a jar with a light brown liquid. "I am certainly going to need this." He takes a long swig then shutters. "Alright, here we go." He grabs a syringe and a bottle out of the first aid kit. He sticks the needle into the cap on the bottle and pulls out the liquid. "This is gonna suck." Hands the syringe over to Kyra. "Just stick the tip barely inside the muscle and the skin and inject every half inch or so all the way around inside and outside. I will coach you through if you need it."

''Kyra, I need you to sew me up, I can't go to the hospital for this'' was the only thing Kyra heard for a moment. Sewing him up? He really was serious?! Even at work she didn't do the sewing.. Not because she couldn't put stitches but because her hands shook to much for that most of the time. She then followed him and listened to what he said, she looked at the needle and then back at him. ''I believe that this is gonna suck for both of us..'' she said and then looked around. ''You need to lay down on your other side, do that on the table'' she said and cleared the table for him. She placed all the papers and stuff on his couch.

She had been sewing him up before, but never it had been this bad. ''Can you please tell me what has happened.. You always tell me when you go on a new mission'' she said and helped him on the table and on his right side so she could better reach for the wound. She grabbed the first aid kid and looked at the wound. ''Sorry James, hiss at me whatever you want but I need to clean this out first'' she said and then took the bottle with cleaning alcohol out. She gave him the thickest pillow from the couch to hold on to. ''Scream in that'' she said and then opened the bottle. She didn't take the time of using a piece of cotton and cleaning it what that, plus she ignored the risk of getting slapped away from him. She poured the liquid over the wound and that way made it clean and it did clean. She could see the dirty blood slowly seep away, over his belly and back.

Just to be sure, she did a few steps away and then when it seemed save, she did the exact same thing once again and then on a save spot she waited again for the alcohol to do it's work.

James twitches several times as she cleans the wounds, his eyes fluttering a bit as he tries to remain stoic but seconds later. "Holy shit!" he blurts out suddenly. Moments later he feels the alcohol take hold. "I think we are really good to go now." he closes his eyes some really feeling the effects.

He folds the pillow in half and props his head up on it and looks at Kyra for a moment before closing his eyes again. "Go ahead, I am ready for the needle." He raises his arm and gets in the most comfortable position he can and just waits for her to start knowing the shots are the worst part of it all.

Kyra swallowed and nodded. ''Then we are gonna do this'' she said and started with the first, and most difficult stitch. When she had brought that to a good end, she smiled a little and continued on stitching him up. She saw him twitch a little every time she let her needle slide trough his flesh. It worked quit well and she now laid a hand in his hair, slowly playing with it. She knew it would help him relax and she would actually do everything for him to feel better than this.

''If it works for you to know, we are now in 1/4 of the wound.. Almost finished with the part under your upperarm.. I think thirty, maybe forty more stitches and then you can lower your arm back if you want'' she said after a little while of stitching. ''How did this happen James?'' she asked then and looked at him, worried. She now had stopped for a short moment but then again looked at the wound and started to continue with the stitching. She tried to put them as close as she could together so it could heal better and there was less chance on a scar. Though she knew James wouldn't mind getting a scar, his body had more of those. Ever since they had started to live next to each other, now two years ago, Kyra had taken care of his wounds when they were too bad to take to a hospital. It was a miracle that he had survived a would this big but so it also was a miracle what he was. She stroked trough his hair again and then concentrated back on the stitching.

"A fight happened with Gigan again. He slashed me with his claw. It was just a glancing blow but that is all it took." He closes his eyes tightly trying to concentrate on anything other than the pain. Then he feels Kyra's fingers running through his hair he smalls. "You know if you keep doing that you are gonna put me to sleep." He smiles a bit. Keeping his eyes closed he starts to relax more despite being stitched up.

''When are you going to be strong enough to kill that beast?'' Kyra said and continued to softly ruffle trough his hair. ''I've seen you sleeping before, so it doesn't matter and to be honest, it will work better for me'' Kyra said honestly and smiled at him. She then stopped as she actually needed two hands for the stitching. One to keep the flesh close to each other and the other one to stitch. She concentrated on the stitching again and looked at him.

''Really James.. I know this is your life but it sucks'' Kyra said. ''Your my best friend.. And the only Kaiju I know.. If you would die.. Life would get a lot more boring'' she said, kinda just to keep the conversation simple. She had been friends with James ever since they both had been on the same team.. Well, she was the help of his trainer. But every other team member treated her like trash and only James was the one that actually had helped her with carrying the laundry and once or twice he even helped folding it! She smiled at the memory.

It was the day that his eyes had changed that he told her he was different. She had to admit to herself, she had thought she had gone crazy and for a week she had not wanted him around. She even skipped practice and said she was sick just to avoid him... But after that week, after she had some time to think. She had found his address and send him a piece offer: A missing black rat snake. It had been her favorite but she wanted him to have it until their friendship would die out. It still stood here in his apartment, she took care of it most of the time but he still owned it. ''James.. You are my best friend and I just don't wanna lose you to some... Monster... What kind of monster in Gigan anyway that it's almost impossible to kill him?'' she asked.

"He is next to impossible to kill. Cyber organic, his head can be chopped off, he will be done for the time being but he can be repaired. Nobody has ever been able to keep him down long enough to grab him and finish him off, even the times he has lost his head the aliens controlling him have immediately picked him up or he has flown off before being able to finish him off."

Hearing her mention this being his life he kind of sighs. "Wish I could get out of it. Sometimes nobody else can help or nobody knows. Better to get in and out quietly and quickly." Suddenly James lets out a long yawn as the alcohol take hold. He falls fast asleep soon after unable to maintain control of his exhaustion.

Kyra nodded and when she wanted to answer, she was interrupted by his light snoring. She smiled and kept stitching until she was finished. She smiled at him, seeing him laying so peacefully. She decided not to wake him up, in stead of that she walked to his bedroom and grabbed his pillow and blanket and moved his head and arms, and laid his pillow under it. Then she laid the blanket over him and the stroked trough his hair again. ''Sleep well James.. You need it..'' she said and watched him sleeping for a while. Normally she wouldn't let him sleep on the table but waking him up right now was next to impossible..

Yet she didn't wanna leave him, this would probably be the first time she could see how he would be doing and how he healed. She always had been curious if he healed just like every other human or just like the lizard he was deep inside. She looked at him and and then grabbed one of his chairs and sat down on it.

James rolls onto his back and spreads his arms out to his sides. As he lays there he heals at an accelerated rate but his body shows no external signs of healing. He rolls back over on his side and as he does his arm brushes against Kyra, he slowly reaches out with his other arm and grabs her pulling her towards him. He holds onto her continuing to sleep cuddling up with her. He sleeps soundly through the night waking up around noon alone and still on the table. He sits up after tossing off his blanket, he looks at his gash and notices it is mostly healed. He goes and grabs some scissors snipping the stitches then pulls them out. Still some blood shows within the wounds but most of it was scabbed over. He puts some triple antibiotic ointment on it and wraps his side with some gauze and tapes it down with sports tape. Going to his bedroom he grabs a muscle shirt that fits loose, hiding his wrap from plain view.

James heads into the living room, sitting down to watch the news. As he turns it on he is greeted by a breaking news story. He sits up and watches closely. "Good morning everybody, we have a story that will be hard to believe for you. We have on video for you a battle of what appears to be 2 giant monsters doing battle outside of the city. It was captured by an amateur videographer sometime yesterday afternoon to evening. Keep in mind some of these images may be disturbing to some viewers." The video shows Kyron and Gigan battling it out within the mountains just outside Emanon, the video is condensed to show the outcome of the battle, Gigan can be seen slashing at Kyron and laying him open but in the end Kyron comes out the victor, using his water pulse to fill up the body of Gigan with water and short circuiting it. Kyron grabs gigan and tosses him into the lake beside the mountains watching it sink to the bottom and that is where the video ends. James turns off the TV and sighs. "At least they didn't catch me changing back."

He sits there just thinking about being caught on video as Kyron. Suddenly his phone rings, he picks it up. "James Parker! You were recorded?!" His mother says to him. "Well it was bound to happen, when you are 225 feet tall and fighting a 180 foot tall monster chances are pretty likely that somebody is gonna see you. But why are you so upset by the fact I was recorded and not the fact that gigan slashed me and cut me down? I had about 80 stitches I had to pull out today." His mom goes silent for a moment. "Wait a minute. Cut you down?!" She goes silent again. "...James! You went to the hospital?" James goes silent. "No, I have a kit at home for it and I had Kyra do it for me." His mom immediately starts talking again. "You should have gone to the hospital, not done it yourself." James jumps back in. "Oh yeah, totally should have gone to the hospital, get stitches done the same night 2 giant monsters did battle and have the same injury as one of the monsters. If it is an injury as a human I will go no problem but I cannot do it when it happens as Kyron." a rhythmic knock is heard at the door. "Hey mom, Adam is here, I am gonna let you go." James says to his mom as he stands up. "Ok, be careful James."

James walks to the door and opens it up, standing there is his friend Adam with a nervous look on his face. "I am sorry James." James looks at Adam then the other guy. "He told me why he wanted to find you..." Adam says with a frown on his face. "Is it true? You are Kyron?" James brings the 2 in and closes the door. He removes his shirt and shows the wrap. The guy finally breaks his silence. "We need to talk and need to involve Adam." James brings them both to his den and they start talking.

Kyra had left after she had been freed from James grab, she didn't mind it and had smiled as he had slept while she just had watched him. Oncehe had let her go to turn around, she had decided to leave him be for now. Tomorrow she would come over and see how the wound was doing and probably feet Miss Red too. It was a strange name for a snake that actually didn't have any red on its body but she had been calling it that way and James hadn't minded.

The next day Kyra woke up and after getting dressed and feeding her own snakes and the three bearded dragons, she took one dragon out and placed it on her shoulder. She was just about to go and visit James as she opened the door and heard some man talking. Adam she knew, he also was a good friend of James but the other guy, she was suspicious about it. But also couldn't let that guy know she knew about James. She walked back in and grabbed her phone, she texted James on his cell and wrote down:

Hey big reptile, How are you doing? Did you know you grabbed me for a cuddle for at least two hours? I didn't mind it, it felt okay. Who is that new guy that asked about you? Sorry.. I had just opened the door when I heard them talking. Hope to see a answer soon and you know it, if I hear things I can't place in a normal conversation, let's say: Screams, breaking glass and such, then I'll use that ax I have to open your door. Kiss Kyra

Kyra started to do the preparations for feeding day and started doing that but she couldn't concentrate. It ended in being bit by her snakes for almost two times and the crickets she fed to her bearded dragon escaped from her pliers. She sighed and placed back her bearded dragon and opened a window so the crickets could go out. She listened closely and for once she was happy that these apartments were very noisy. She didn't hear anything and at this moment that made her worry.

She put on her shoes and grabbed the 'emergency key'. Then she took with her a rat for Miss Red and walked to James house. She opened the door and looked around. ''Oh! I am sorry..'' she said and without even trying to fake it, she blushed seeing James standing there shirtless. ''I just came too...'' she said but was interrupted by Adam. ''Check on James?'' he asked. She frowned her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, laying the plastic bag with the rat inside it on the table. ''Maybe I did yes, but then it because I care for him as a friend and neighbor'' she said.

Adam and Kyra never really liked each other and now stood toe to toe, both had their eyes narrowed. ''Your a stalker'' Adam said. ''Am not, I have been his friend since high school'' she said. Adam then turned to James. ''She knows about it?'' he asked and meant the kaiju thing which he just had been told about. He clearly didn't like the idea of not knowing something while Kyra did.

"Yes she does, less people know the better." The mysterious man looks at her. "Are you the woman who has been caring for the injuries of Kyron here?" He steps to her and looks down. "I believe we have some things to talk about." The man reveals a tablet and turns it on. "I will reveal my intentions, I work with the EDF, Earth Defense Force. We monitor and combat all known threats to mankind, attempting to keep most under wraps. We get some that cannot be contained. Generally you get what we had happen last night with James here, I know you are probably wondering why I leaked the footage to the media. It is absolutely a smoke screen, we are using it as a diversionary tactic. While people are looking for clues as to where the monsters went we will head to our base. But first tell me James, where does Gigan come from?" He looks at him intently. "Planet X." The man nods his head. "Who else is from planet X?" James goes wide eyed. "King Ghidorah..." The man nods slowly. "Gigan got away and the Xillians are likely to find out of his loss soon, that means they are bringing out their failsafe."

Adam speaks up. "I get James is a monster and all but why are you involving him and us for that matter?" Looking over at Adam. "You see, we know you guys build cars and trucks. You are especially gifted with engine building. We need that expertise, we are building mobile weaponry, we need builds that are fast and powerful, we also need vehicles that can withstand direct blasts from the Kaiju. Especially like Ghidorah's lightning or space godzilla's atomic breath."

James smirks and looks at Adam and Kyra. "I guess we have a job to do."

Kyra looked at the man when he asked her if she was the one that took care of Kyron. She wanted to speak up but kept quiet and fed Miss Red while he explained. ''Okay.. It is all a wonderful story'' she said and got up after putting the snake back in her terrarium. She looked at the man and then at James and Adam. She saw that they both wanted to do this job but she wasn't so sure.

''Oh god.. You two are really willing to do this?! I have nothing, and I mean... Nothing to do with those cars and machines and stuff... I am a biologic lab person.. I do tests on reptiles... Animal friendly tests but... Tests and further more I stitch that idiotic person over there back together when needed... Mostly once or twice a month'' she said and shook her head. ''And I have animals to take care of.. I mean, six different strangle snakes, four bearded dragons.. Oh and the poisonous snake that will be my new pet ever since the day after tomorrow'' she said and shook again her head. She looked at James, saw that he really wanted her to come along, then saw Adam look at her weirdly and awkward as he surely had thought she only held one or two snakes.

''IF my snakes can come..'' Kyra started. ''And my bearded dragons... Then I am in.. But only as the nurse of James'' she said

The man smirks. "We have a bio-dome on the complex that has habitats for snakes and lizards. We also have a state of the art medical facility that you can train in." James smiles at Kyra. "Looks like we are all in then." Looking back at the man. "We need to pick up a few of my rides from the shop." Man says. "Already taken care of. We got every one of your personal cars from the shop loaded up and shipped out including your monster truck." James smirks and nods his head. "I am good to go then."

''Guys and their cars'' Kyra said and shook her head. ''A Biodome you say? Awesome! You guys know where to find me when I am not busy stitching lizard guy here back together'' she said and giggled some. She then looked at James and shook her head. ''You really know how to get in trouble.. How did I ever become friends with you'' she said with a sarcastic roll of her eyes but he knew very well that she was happy to have him as a friend.

''When will we leave because I have lots of packing to do'' she said. The man looked at her. ''Everything you need is already there'' he said. ''Oh no, I am not going to let you put me in clothes that are not bought by myself'' she said. ''We have special people for that.. And we kept a close eye on you for several weeks.. We know exact what kind of clothes you like to wear'' he said. ''Ugh... Spy's'' she said and rolled her eyes. ''And my animals?'' she asked. ''Will be transferred as soon you open the door for the two movers that are waiting outside'' he said. ''And they will be careful?'' Kyra asked. ''Yes Ma'am..'' the man said, slightly annoyed now. ''Good!'' Kyra said with a smile and walked outside to open the door for the two movers. She looked over her shoulder. ''Nice to know your so easy to annoy.. You are going to be my new and second best friend'' she said with a giggle and a wink at James.

He knew she was teasing the man right now, simply because she could do so.

"You say Guys and their cars but I had you giggling last time you were in that truck." Smirks at Kyra being Kyra. He grabs a few things from his cupboards setting them in a box before heading out to meet the man. Everybody makes their way out and begin heading to the base. As they hit the highway they come up on a convoy that encircles them, they drive covered on all sides by trucks and trailers until they arrive at the base sometime later. As they enter that would recognize the base as an abandoned air force base. They drive into a dilapidated hangar, the floor having a large lift set in the floor. All the vehicles drive onto the lift and it descends underground into a very modern almost futuristic looking bunker. As they descend deeper under the base the more impressive it becomes. Eventually they land in a parking garage, driving just another quarter mile before they each park and unload. "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Toto." James says to Kyra jokingly.

"Shush you!" Kyre said to James with a grin. She went to her own house and made sure her animals where placed in the right travel boxes as she had one for each of them. She took her bearded dragon and placed the little guy in her jacket. "This one travels with me" She said and then walked back to James.

She had actually named that bearded dragon after James his Kaiju form, Kyron. "Kyron travels VIP" She said and showed the bearded dragon. Getting in the car, she sat in between Adam and James and simply relaxed as it was a big car with more than enough space around them.

During the travel down to the Base it was quiet and Kyre looked at all the protection. Once there, she raised an eyebrow but when they lowered down on the platform she whistled. "Welcome in 2999" she said and giggled.

Making their way into the complex he watches with interest and then smiles as he sees the garage area. The lead scientist makes his way over to them. "Welcome one and all, let's start the tour. My name is Jay Shepler, I am the lead scientist here, I am sure it will come as no shock to you that we have many projects going on here currently in regards to genetics but we have nobody here currently that is known for their vehicle prowess. Hence why we came to you, we are in agreement that you would be the perfect to bridge the gap. Now lets go check out your garage." As they walk down the hallway he stops at a door and looks back at Kyra. "Kyra, this is your room. The biodome, all your pets are in here as well as several others that we had previously. Yours are in the quarantine area getting checked out if you wish to check on them."

Kyra looks at the scientist and doesn't know what to think. She listens to what he says and looks at James. ''Genetics.. Just know that I won't allow any of you to do genetic tests on James. Because so many feet under the ground and in a very good secured area or not.. I will find a way to break out'' Kyra said and then looked at the door that leaded to the biodome.

She turned to the man the moment he said quarantine. ''No no no no no... You are not making friends with me now.. Bring me there right now, no body does touch my baby's without my permission. Any check up will be done by me.. Your people will do it the wrong way since I have a certain way nobody knows'' she said. Right after she said that, the lead scientist got a call on his phone, saying some of the people in the quarantine section were bit by bearded dragons and one by a snake. ''Alright.. I'll send the owner to you now'' he said and hung up. Kyra rolled her eyes and gave James a hug. ''See you soon, know where to find me'' she said and then left with some guard.
