Godzilla
"The Megavolt Monster"
One evening, a large ship crossing the ocean was attacked by one of the Megavolt Monsters, resulting in an oil tanker being ignited and forcing the crew to abandon ship. The Calico and its crew entered the area to investigate the cause of the attack. Quinn and Brock went into the depths inside a bathysphere, but were soon attacked by one of the undersea menaces. Their bathysphere swiftly sank while the monster then turned its attention to the Calico and attacked it by coiling its body and tail around the ship, draining it of energy. Luckily, Godzilla managed to force the beast to retreat.
Unknown to everyone, a bubble of air existed at the bottom of the sea, maintained by the strange power source, which was a rock. Godzooky dove into the sea to rescue his friends, but ended up only worsening the problem by throwing himself in danger when he, Quinn, and Brock were cornered by two more Megavolt Monsters. Knowing that their friends were in trouble, Captain Majors and Pete rode inside of Godzilla's air-tight hands to the bottom of the sea, allowing the three of them to rescue their friends. Once there, Godzilla confronted the two horned fiends. Using his flames against them, Godzilla managed to distract the creatures while the others carried out a plot to destroy their power source, breaking the air bubble in the process.
Once the source was gone and Godzilla drained his foes of energy, they managed to escape, but the larger individual from before attacked them above the trench. The still-massive Megavolt Monster charged full speed and forced Godzilla to release the bathysphere. Godzooky tried to carry it up himself as Godzilla fought the beast. Soon, like its kindred, this monster also ran out of its energy for good and was forced to retreat.
Abilities
Electric bolts
The Megavolt Monsters can fire bolts of electricity from their horns, tusks, and tails. These bolts were capable of destroying rocks and cancelling out Godzilla's fire breath.
Electromagnetic pulse
The Megavolt Monsters can release an electromagnetic pulse from their bodies to repel enemies. One individual used this ability to force Godzilla to release it.
Electricity absorption
The Megavolt Monsters can absorb any form of electricity, which enables them to grow in size and power.
Physical capabilities
The Megavolt Monsters are able to constrict objects and foes using their bodies and tails.
Weaknesses
The electricity of the Megavolt Monsters is finite and, once depleted, the monsters must return to the rock that acts as their power source to recharge. When this rock was destroyed, they eventually ran out of their electricity for good and shrunk, forcing them to retreat.
