Mothra, queen of the monsters.

The unceasingly beautiful moth looks down at her loyal subjects and allies and coos softly. While everyone gazes at her majesty, she turns her particular attention to the trio of Wei Ho, Jiro Ifukube, and Anna Maximoff. Mothra lowers herself down, allowing the 3 scientists to get up close and personal to her face. Anna Maximoff attempts to put out her hand to touch the moth goddess's furry head, only for a light breath to send her stumbling backwards into Wei and Jiro's arms; she's still smiling despite being denied the chance to physically reconnect with the giant insect.

After Anna regains her footing, the trio walks closer once again.


(Anna Maximoff): It's good to finally have you back, Mothra. Do you.... remember us?


Rather than telepathically communicate her exact thoughts, Mothra instead uses her brilliant bio-luminescent wings to convey her responses and emotions. In response to Dr. Maximoff's question, the monster queen flushes her wings with a much lighter blue glow that pulses extremely quickly; Mothra's body language also changes to a more relaxed and non-erratic position. Coinciding with these perceptible changes, the monitoring equipment nearby that has come back online possesses readings that confirm Mothra's relaxed response; her heart rate is steady, her breathing is quite slow and regular, and her neurotransmitters are firing off memory signals.


(Wei Ho): I think she does, Anna.

(Anna Maximoff): That's good to know. But you have more important matters to attend to than reminiscing with us, don't you?


Mothra's wings start flashing quickly once again; this is apparently how she has decided to interpret and respond to Anna Maximoff's talk. The moth goddess then raises herself off the ground on her hind-legs and shrieks loudly, rousing all of the natives into a flurry as they cheer and chant her name. As she does so, her wings change from light blue to brilliant emerald green and begin flashing in a slower pattern of longer pulses.

Out in the water surrounding the Isle of Hatching, Godzilla raises his head to the sky and roars in unison with Mothra; his dorsal plates also start flashing their light blue bio-luminescence in sync with his queen's own. The 2 titans' displays start to affect the very weather above, causing Ghidorah's storm clouds to slowly dissipate and disperse, eventually leaving a bright new sun to welcome the entire area. With the skies clear, Mothra lifts off from the isle and slowly flies over to her king; Godzilla reciprocates and lumbers forward. The queen of the monsters lands on Godzilla's upper body, anchors herself with her forelimbs, and presses her head against his own. As the 2 titans nuzzle, their bio-luminescence syncs up once again; both monsters display the same flashing pattern of identical blue light.

After a few moments, the light show fades, leaving Mothra's wings their normal unaltered colouration and Godzilla with the faint blue glow running through his dorsal plates due to the absorbed exotic radiation.

The Mosura elder pushes off of the king's body and ascends into the sky. She calls out to Godzilla one last time before turning around, flushing her wings with brilliant emerald bio-luminescence, and taking off with incredible speed towards the east. The Godzillasaur elder quickly lumbers through the ocean past the shallows; he dives down and takes off after her upon moving past the seafloor drop-off, being careful to control his aftermath effects to not bring harm to any C.D.F. ships he passes by.

Now that their goddess has been reborn in full, the natives make their way down to the docks and accept the G.U.D.'s evacuation offer. As the civilians are being evacuated, the C.D.F. and research elements begin preparations to leave.


(Wei Ho): That was certainly something.

(Jiro Ifukube): It was. I would assume she's headed to Roth-Ma Island, then.

(Anna Maximoff): It's the most logical deduction. We should head there ourselves, if only to document how he'll be set free.

(Wei Ho): But it's obviously just to make sure we're keeping up with her, isn't it?


At this insistence, Anna Maximoff smiles and heads towards the nearby transport VTOL's passenger bay. Wei Ho and Jiro Ifukube look at each other, shake their heads, and quickly catch up to their colleague. After a few other research personnel and some C.D.F. security get on, the VTOL takes off and heads in the same direction as the titans.

[Roth-Ma Island - Jiran Island Cluster]
[Pacific Ocean]
[Open Territory - G.U.D.]

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

On the island that Mothra has traditionally called home, a heavy C.D.F. presence blankets the land shrouded in Ghidorah's storm clouds and the surrounding turbulent ocean.

Out of all the fortifications and defences, the most extensive and numerous ones are centred around Gamera's near totally petrified body. Many of these defence emplacements are courtesy of Mechagodzilla, who recently arrived at Roth-Ma Island to lend its aid to Jet Jaguar and the research staff in attempting to free the giant Atlantean guardian. Thus far, all attempts have been relatively unsuccessful.

At the moment, the 2 mechanical monsters are attempting to pry off a piece of petrifying stone next to Gamera's exposed neck; Jet Jaguar has his hands on the piece while Mechagodzilla uses a a cutting laser formed from its head on the connecting edges. Despite the pulling forces being exerted on the rock by the super-robot and the high-intensity photons of the Bilusaludo mech, the piece of stone is only barely budging; this rate of petrification removal is almost certainly unfeasible for the time-frame the Earth is under with King Ghidorah and his subservient titans running amok.

A ping on the radar gets the attention of everyone presence.

The C.D.F. security move the civilian personnel away from the site to shelters hidden in the undergrowth of the jungle surrounding the clearing. Meanwhile, Mechagodzilla, Jet Jaguar, and Gamera all turn their attention to the skies above; they ready themselves for whatever potential threat may be flying towards them. As they stand at attention, they notice that the thunder, lightning, and rain that was going off earlier has ceased unexpectedly. Soon after, bright light starts to shine through the cloudy cover onto the three titans below; coinciding with this light is a low rumble from above that sounds almost like whale calls, though there are also elements of mewing like a kitten. The source of the light and the identity of the entity detected on radar soon makes itself clear.

The dark clouds above the site where the petrified Gamera landed is parted away in an instant with immense force. A blindingly angelic being hovers in place, blowing away the clouds with the immense force of its wings flapping and the incandescent beta-wave bio-luminescence that radiates out from its body. This light is so intense, in fact, that Gamera must look away while Jet Jaguar must hold his hands up in front of his face. After just a few seconds, the angel has blown away the entirety of Ghidorah's storm that once raged over Roth-Ma Island without end.

The intense light starts to dim ever so slightly, allowing the angelic entity's form to be more easily made out.

The entity possesses the form of a true goddess of hope: Mothra.

As Mothra cries out, the C.D.F. and civilians step out from their shelters and come to bask in the inviting light that inspires awe and creates an atmosphere of hope and positivity. All defence emplacements that were previously armed and aimed in her direction power down, and everyone who was physically aiming their weapons lowers them. With the situation now calmer, Mothra begins to release glowing powder from her wings down below. Upon coming in contact with the Gamera's petrified body, the powder creates a glowing cracks all across the stone coverings. As Gamera looks down at the cracks forming around his petrification, he roars to the sky; Mothra responds in kind.
