Description
The current age of monsters is a chaotic one; an age where energy, organic, chemical, and elemental, is used up in abundance. This consistent use of energy always has a wonderful bi-product: waste. An ocean of refuse and hallowed husks of what used to be living things as far as the eye can see; burnt out shells of machines and the starry eyed idealists that created them, the bubbling sewage pooling like drying blood around their bloated and decaying husks; the air writhing with caustic vapors and noxious odors that rot the lungs out of any creature unfit to adapt. The natural protections and safeguards that stabilize existence crumbling and tearing at the seams, allowing cell charring radiation to flood the sky as the ground crumbles into oh so much muck. One would wonder in this age of giant monsters, with many of them seeming to be manifestations of this world’s own survival laden dependencies, who has the joy of taking care of all this. The answer would oddly enough be Beelzebub, the only member of the first four to take on two aspects of nature at once. While the white lord of the flies has been described as conquest incarnate, as well as a notorious trickster and lover of ironic humor, the kaiju is not always so. Like all kaiju under Gaia’s nurturing yet predatory gaze, Beelzebub had to earn his wings…and continue to do so even to this day.

When Gaia was creating more potential guardians for its flourishing garden of life, it came across an unusual problem. The creatures had nothing to drive them to compete with one another. Resources were plentiful and the potential inheritors of Gaia’s will were not going to evolve into capable guardians with a paradise at their disposal. On top of all this, the young behemoths continued use of these resources was outpacing the world’s ability to clean up after them. Mountains of feces and scattered carcasses began to cause a festering of disease and toxicity that was making it quite difficult for lower life forms to exist. This was a similar problem among many that was the result of the Titans; but Shimaku’s penchant for genocide would be detrimental to this chain of evolutionary development. Dryton would simply free up more space for the remaining juggernauts to enjoy. It would need to be a steady process, one that would grow with the issue and solve it via capitalizing on it later. Forces began to move the refuse into something tangible…and soon enough Gaia had created the third of the Apocalypse Bringers, Beelzebub. Like all of his kin he started out diminutive and hardly noticeable, a worm gnawing its way through whatever organic filth got in its way. It was young, it was belligerent and it was…not exactly intelligent; much like an overweight kindergarten child surrounded by sugar. It’s black grubby mass slithered through the waste, devouring it as it went. It’s powerful, stone shattering jaws made quick work of anything that didn’t want to fall apart and when it tried to bite off more than it could chew, its massive horn like mandibles cleaved it up into manageable bits, allowing it to feed near endlessly.

As it grew it gained a greater attachment to its role, green pulsing markings began to appear on its back and its blubbery stub of a rear hardened and helped it clear space around it. Its eyes were tiny and pathetic things, only needing to know if there was light nearby. As it fed it continued to grow, eventually outgrowing the piles it had grown up in. After cleaning everything else out, it moved on to new areas…leaving a trail of disgusting slime behind it. The disturbing, giant maggot soon caught the attention of the behemoths it was sent to clean up after. An avian like creature, towering and imposing, believed the squirming young Beelzebub to be food and attempted to eat him. At first flailing in a blind panic, Beelzebub soon vented in the most appropriate manner it knew how: by spraying copious amounts of highly toxic flatulence from every ring of its pudgy body. The titanic stork like creature suffered a massive brain hemorrhage and fell to the ground. Beelzebub then proceeded to eat said stork monster, gurgling happily as it did so. Devouring a full, freshly killed titan bulked the now humongous larva to a whole new magnitude and it now shuffled it’s continually growing mass into the dwellings of other juggernauts with outright impunity. Attempts to drive the giant maggot away were seldom successful and they became outright impossible as it became a jolly and rather corpulent 300 meters long, and a fourth as wide. It treated these protests to its presence with affable joy, no longer threatened in the least. On the occasion it did feel threatened, it resorted to smashing its overwhelming mass onto them, rolling over them, vomiting on them, farting on them, braining them with its mace like stinger, and simply decapitating them with a one massive bite. What made it all the more disturbing was that the markings along its back seemed to glow and emanate vapors that carried all manner of toxins and bacteria it had ingested. So much as touching the creature was nearly impossible without become incredibly nauseated and ill. It had a tendency to leave a trail of retch worthy filth everywhere it went, water sources were fouled and plant matter became fetid and filled with naturally decomposing rot. Anywhere the colossal maggot went, it forced the potential guardians away…or they got eaten. With clean resources and food sources in limited supply, the behemoths were agitated and restless. They soon began turning on one another out of desperation and Gaia knew that Beelzebub had accomplished his task for the moment. Imparting a final change unto him, the great prince of maggots sprayed a condensing liquid around himself, sealing himself within a pupa state to grow and change into his later role as heckler and observing eye in the sky.

Many events would come and go after the guardians had earned their respective roles and Beelzebub would continue fostering the expansionistic and resource acquiring nature of many of the planet’s species. As the Ice Age came upon them, Beelzebub’s energies dimmed and he allowed himself to crumble into the wind. A single egg laid by one of his legion of children being a vessel for his imminent revival.

In the modern era, as Shimaku’s battle with Goreagh drew to a close, the egg stirred and the prince of maggots once more emerged to spread pestilence and devour the waste of the world once more, slithering into the wasted and poisoned landscape…of Mexico. Its journeys would not end there however. Beelzebub would undulate his way into the great state of Texas…where a certain young girl with a sense of humor of her own and little fear of all things gross would strike common ground with the ‘squishy’ kaiju. The rest they say is history.

-------------------------------------------

Rather short but other story elements will be saved for the Piper Reed entry who some of you can guess is the girl mentioned at the end there. The colored version will be submitted later with stats before I move on to the adult fly form our of snarky, buzzing joker. And yes, at maximum size, the larva stage does get that freaking huge. It needs ample food sources (pollution, garbage, dead kaiju, etc.) in order to do so though.
