She is not little Gojira, daughter of Godzilla anymore.

She is Godzilla, Ruler of All Monsters.

Godzilla ceases roaring to the sky and brings her head back to level. As the tears streaming down from her closed eyes cease, she opens her golden eyes with renewed determination. The new ruler looks to her opponent, and the expression on her face makes it clear: she will defeat Ghidorah no matter what.

The second coming of Godzilla takes her first few steps forward, stepping so lightly that she doesn't even disturb the rocks she walks upon yet also so heavily that the entire city is lightly trembling despite her not exerting any outward Ki pressure from charging up or expelling any major level of energy; this is something completely different than before. Even Ghidorah, proud and vain as he tends to be, finds himself slowly stepping back from this immense pressure. There is no fear, yet still he backs up in the presence of the second Godzilla.

It takes a long bout of head-shaking from Ichi the middle head and some biting down on his left and right brothers to free them from their stupor. With all 3 heads back in action, Ghidorah shrieks and roars loudly to challenge Godzilla to a duel; the young renewed Godzillasaur continues to slowly walk forward, not breaking in her stride at all. Upon seeing how stoic and determined his new opponent is in stark comparison to how emotionally volatile she was just minutes earlier, the false king decides to threaten the rest of her decidedly less gigantic family and the other civilians aboard the Mechagodzilla carrier ship.

Before San the left head can even finish charging up bio-electrical energy through his neck to hold the civilians hostage, Godzilla suddenly rushes forward at great speed, far faster than simply running along the ground even at her quickest normal stride would take her.

Godzilla gives a strong straight punch directly into the lower middle of Ghidorah's chest. This attack instantly caves in the golden dragon's rib cage, causing Ghidorah to stumble backwards a few steps in excruciating pain and with all 3 heads gasping and wheezing.

With such immense self-control, Godzilla has managed to almost entirely redirect all potential aftermath effects into the point of impact; the air behind the 2 Alphas is barely even disturbed. Ghidorah manages to compose himself as his internals regenerate and goes in for a triple viper strike attack. The new Godzilla easily redirects his left and right heads away with each arm and gives an upward headbutt straight into the bottom of the middle head's jaw, sending it and the rest of Ghidorah's necks lurching backwards. The false king quickly hops backward using his wings to assist in putting distance between him and Godzilla.

However, her speed and reaction time proves more than enough for her to quickly rush forward and give a tackle with her shoulder into Ghidorah's body that sends the hydra god skidding across the ground. She then leaps up into the air and prepares to punch downward on Ghidorah, prompting him to bring up his wings and coat them in his Gravity Warping Field to fully guard against this attack. Godzilla's sheer power is enough to shatter the gravity shield, though it's not quite enough to break through the guard entirely; it still manages to force Ghidorah down on one wobbly knee.

The golden astro monster unfurls his wings fast enough that Godzilla is thrown off. Before she fully regains her footing on the ground, Ghidorah fires off a full burst of Gravity Beams straight into the young Godzillasaur's face and sends her skidding across the ruined city landscape. Unbeknownst to her assailant, Godzilla's dorsal plates become aglow with the blue light of atomic energy. The neutron flux moves up from the end of her tail to the back of her neck, growing in luminosity and power as it does so; she unleashes her bright blue and white Atomic Breath soon after. The blast of nuclear fission immediately begins overpowering the full force of Ghidorah's Gravity Beams, quickly turning this from a short beam struggle to a full-on overtaking.

Just before the Atomic Breath can reach his heads, Ghidorah breaks off his bio-electrical emissions and ducks under the blast

He then scurries across the ground quickly and pounces on Godzilla, biting down on her throat and both wrists.

The astro monster quickly rises into the air, clearly intent on dropping his new enemy from orbit as he did for her father while she hangs from his necks dragging down. However, she elects to prevent this very thing from happening by using Ghidorah's necks as swing ropes to swing back and upwards, sending both her feet straight into the golden demise's abdomen. She manages to knock the wind out of him in addition to releasing his grip on her neck and wrists, dropping her back down to the ground with a heavy thud and a lot of kicked-up dust and dirt.

Ghidorah quickly recovers from this escape and channels bio-electrical energy through his wings. In response, Godzilla sends a neutron flux up through her dorsal plates in preparation for what's to come. Like the living storm he is, Ghidorah sends down a truly ludicrous amount of High Singularity Bolts down directly at Godzilla. Before any of the lightning can hit, the new ruler of all monsters flushes the energy charging through her backspines into the rest of her body and releases it in a single large spherical burst, pushing back and nullifying all of the High Singularity Bolts with her enhanced Nuclear Pulse.

She then makes an incredibly powerful leap directly upwards, rocketing up into the sky as if she were flying; Ghidorah dives down like a bomb to meet her. The 2 collide in midair and start to fall back down to Earth as a result, with Godzilla getting the better of Ghidorah as they spiral back down to the remains of Tokyo. The young Godzillasaur manages to manoeuvre Ghidorah so that he ends up on the bottom of their struggle with his abdomen facing downward. She then kicks him away before they hit the ground, allowing her to land on her feet while the hydra titan is sent crashing down and across the ground.

Ghidorah slowly gets back up to his feet, shaking his heads out of their daze from the impact and subsequent scrape across the ground.

He then turns around and shrieks loudly, not backing down whatsoever despite it being clear that he's outmatched in every regard except regenerative ability. In response Godzilla merely growls through bared teeth.


"What will you do now, Original One? What else does this vessel have to offer in the face of this upstart heretic?"


The young ruler of all monsters perks her head up upon hearing this ethereal voice. She looks behind her to the rest of her allies and turncoat pack members, but none of them seem to have heard the voice at all. She then looks back at Ghidorah, who is the only one who also seems to have heard this voice with no source. He looks particularly frustrated at this turn of events, but he manages to compose himself enough to start channelling bio-electrical energy all around his body.

As he does so, the ground around him shakes wildly; the very air in his proximity fills up with sparks of the same colour of electrical energy as his own. Soon after, gravity starts distorting around him, causing debris, dirt, and even ruined infrastructure to start levitating into the air. What's most worrying, however, are the increasing size and number of inter-dimensional rips in the fabric of reality around the golden tyrant. From these tears, what looks to be black smoke wafts out from these tears directly around and into Ghidorah's body. At first, the amount of smoke is relatively small; it quickly grows in intensity, completely engulfing the 3-headed devil and obscuring Godzilla's vision.


"With the barrier between Meta and reality growing thin, I can lend the slightest hint of aid to you, Original One. Improve your current vessel, for the upstart heretic must return that which she has stolen from us."


Within the cloud of dimensional black smoke, 12 glowing red eyes can be seen through the haze. A truly haunting shriek sounds off from within the cloud, prompting the young Godzilla to take up a combat stance once more.
