Fic Update: Gone in 60 Threads

[Mamorien]

A new Wednesday at Sunnydale, which, after its opening scene, switches to her family in England.

Gomez's mustache twitched with delight. "How dreadfully unimaginative! Expecting different results from identical actions," He kicked the grenade, sending it arcing back to his foes. The grenade detonated with a thunderous crack, hurling the agents backwards like rag dolls and cloaking the corridor in a swirling haze of smoke and concrete dust.

When the smoke thinned, Gomez emerged, soot on his cuff and a grin splitting his face. "Lady luck," he announced to the blinking cameras overhead, "is always on my side."

Past the flashing alarms, Pugsley appeared and moved to join him. "I think the Watcher Council is two floors below us. I wish Grandmama could have teleported us closer," he said as they closed in on the heart of the bunker.

Gomez winked, dabbing at a smear of blood on his lapel. "Oh, Pugsley. With a family like ours, it's never about the destination, but how much fun we have getting there!"

In a world borne On The Shoulders Of Titans, where Hell Is Empty And All The Devils Are Here, The Scalper strikes.

In a Japan where the wounds of Godzilla's decimation of Tokyo is still a scabbing wound, life has changed in many ways.
Changes whose claws grace and rake far beyond the capital's irradiated husk.

Notes:
Hello dear readers! Time for a new entry into this horror anthology.
As always, I love mixing elements that have no business being together. For example, the chapter you are about to read is nothing other than a detective/slasher thriller featuring one of the most obscure Kaiju there've ever been,

See the end of the chapter for more notes.

Just to be clear, since it's only hinted at in the chapter itself, this story's mysterious slasher-Kaiju is none other than Geharha, an extremely obscure Kaiju from a 2009 made-for-television short film. While the movie itself is 100% just comedic satire of a Japanese style that easily flies over my head, the basic concept of a creepy monster that collects people's hair instantly made me think of the possibility of recasting Geharha as the kaiju-equivalent of a slasher movie villain.

Obviouly, this story was only one longer-than-average scene, but I felt that was necesary to keep the Kaiju obscure to actually make it stand out. In a different world I could imagine this chapter being the first scene of a whole-ass movie where our characters are forced to investigate Geharha's attacks while slowly uncovering a conspiracy to hide the horrors and mismanagement of the Tokyo Exclusion Zone, all of it culminating in the cliffhanger that the scalper is far from the only monster born from Goji's radiation.
