Our Monster

Engines filled the city with noise and heat, choked it with diesel fumes. Tanks rumbled to themselves. Teams of soldiers with rocket launchers and artillery sweated in the heat of the sun. Great banks of anti-vehicular missiles stood ready.

On the shore, the water slowly washed away the man-deep footprints sunk in the sand. The ocean sat quiet, unruffled, its surface stirred only by wind. No vast bulk rose from the depths. No reptilian behemoth surged toward land.

In the city, they waited. Everything was in readiness for his arrival. Where was he? When would he come back to them?

So they want their monster to come back? or do they want the guy who's gonna kill the monster?

cuz if choice 2 is true, it kinda reminds me of an idea of mine...

What 'guy' would this be? You can't fight kaiju one-on-one, not even if you're Jet Jaguar.
