The Homework Monster

It's two in the morning, and you have just awoken from a nightmare; little do you know that the real nightmare has just begun.  In a matter of minutes, you hear screaming, and everyone is running from their homes.  What's more, you hear a series of loud thumps, like a giant's heart beat.  As you leave your house all groggy-eyed, you see  a squadron of jets zooming toward the source of the chaos.  They fire their missles, which results in several explosions and a cloud of smoke.  From the smoke, you catch site of two bright yellow lights flashing.  Then you see two sharp rays slashing through the airplanes, destroying them instantly.  Finally, the smoke parts, and you begin to understand the horror that had arrived at your city: it has a small, squat body, two long, skinny legs, six mechanical, pinchered arms, and a huge, swollen head.  The beast's name is Shukra, the Homework Monster.  You wake up screaming, you catch sight of your clock; it is at five in the morning and you realize that today you have a test in geology!

In case you are wondering, Shukra makes an appearance in Godzilla vs. Gigan. Too bad the test is not on Godzilla trivia...
