Manly Strider had just crested the hilltop when he saw Godzilla in the ocean some distance from land, zigzagging back and forth, as if trying to decide where it would be best to hit shore. A sailboat behind Godzilla was still afloat. Manly wondered with amazement how the sailor escaped harm with Godzilla in such close proximity. Moments later, Godzilla made up his mind and obliterated a sprawling mansion as he stomped on land. He continued up the valley toward the hills, not appearing to be breathless whatsoever. "Godzilla must to be in terrific cardiovascular shape!" exclaimed Manly.

All the stomping resulted in tremendous ground vibrations, causing adjacent residents to scurry out of their homes under the assumption that an earthquake had occurred. One tearful young boy was quite shaken and could only rail on Godzilla for causing such fear. Many houses were severely damaged from the shaking, from shifted foundations to huge cracks in the walls. Roads were splits, water mains were ruptured and power lines were downed.

As Godzilla bypassed the hilltops, he turned and retraced his steps back into the ocean, causing even more damage as he went. This was the first time that Godzilla has caused such damage.

We don't want to sound too de ja vu, but we are, once again, seeing another side to Godzilla - a stomping, destructive side. Perhaps we should give Godzilla another nickname - Spompazilla! If Godzilla is getting older, it sure hasn't slowed him down any. And he definitely isn't mellowing out. If he is he getting used to people, it's only to scare the heck out of them.

Questions still abound - why did Godzilla beat such a destructive path? Why such a mood swing? We can only wait in utter fear for where Godzilla could possibly show up next. All we can say is that we must be prepared for the worst, because only Godzilla knows what he may do in the days to come.
