Colossus By Design: Season 3 - Excerpt 128

Godzilla (Metarch)

[Height]: 22,000 kilometres
[Length]: 39,000 kilometres (head to tail)
[Weight]: 24 x 10^21 tons (25 sextillion tons)

[Appearance]:
> Has the same general Godzillasaur build, albeit with a much thicker main body and neck along with slightly thicker arms, legs, and tail
> Overall body has an aesthetic akin to bluish-grey metallic plant roots intertwined in a manner similar to exposed musculature
> Head is shaped in a more saurian manner with less jagged teeth that blend in with the rest of the body
> Head has no outer ears and possesses eyes with large blue irises
> Has several more rows of dorsal plates running down from the back of her neck down to her tail that are shaped like tree leaves

[Observed Characteristics]:
> Possesses physical strength and durability on-par with Safi'jiiva, though her speed and manoeuvrability isn't as well-matched
> Has immense intelligence and combat skill, but still maintains empathetic tendencies and values
> Possesses an altered Atomic Breath that's projected as a thin particle beam from above her skin, whether in front of her mouth or from her back
> Can produce an electromagnetically charged roar performed at extremely high volume and resonance frequency (Super Oscillatory Wave) that can temporarily disable exotic abilities and put out high concussive force
> Can swing her tail at high speed while it's imbued with electromagnetic potential to send out a line of highly damaging plasma that also produces powerful shockwaves in its wake
> Has lesser control of reality-warping abilities compared to Safi'jiiva
> Unknown potential other abilities

[May 8, 2168]
[Solar System]

From the depths of the surface layers of Saturn, several more metallic roots burst out from the liquid and gaseous elements; these roots intertwine and form another hand. With these hands, the reborn Godzilla slowly pulls herself out of the gas giant; her body continues to build itself via the intertwining of country-sized metallic plant roots into muscular structure. Eventually, the ruler of all monsters pulls her entire body out of Saturn; it's nearly fully formed save her dorsal plates.

The newly born Metarch Gardener quickly grows out her dorsal plates like the leaves of a tree. She then gives an immense roar that shakes the very solar system itself and shatters all the rings of Saturn.

Safi'jiiva looks on with shock, but eventually his expressions changes to genuine excitement.


"So that's how it'll be! A true elder god fighting a true new god!"

"I must admit, this crudely manufactured form is impressive in its own right given its mortal origins. But mere physical might isn't all there is to being a god."

"You've only just become a deity. But I've been one for billions of years."


The red dragon flies at the monster planet at incredible speed, far greater than he's ever displayed yet. The gargantuan Godzillasaur responds by leaping off of Saturn and flying to meet Safi'jiiva. The 2 Metarchs lock hands as they clash, sending out a shockwave so large and powerful that it instantly shatters Mercury and Pluto, the spread out asteroid belt, and several more scattered moons; even the Mechagodzilla fleet is scattered despite being on the other side of the sun.

Godzilla and Safi'jiiva are equally matched in strength and thus unable to overpower one another, resulting in several more miniature aftershocks being sent out from their struggle that fractures the already unstable remaining pockets of reality leftover from the Overseer's original reality-warping flight. The Meta seeps in violently, swallowing the 2 gods up in a sea of unstable exotic energies; Demons originating from this realm are sent scurrying out of the Meta Tears due to their floating isles being washed out like driftwood in a massive sea.


"Impressive, Godzilla! Your form possesses equal strength to my own! Though you still have a chance to repent and become my stud--"


Godzilla the monster planet gives a solid headbutt directly into Safi'jiiva's head, briefly dazing him; she then spins around while her hands are still locked with his to build up momentum. The ruler of all monsters then releases her grip, sending the Overseer flying into the surface of Uranus. The red dragon lands on his back, but before he can fully get back up, Godzilla lets loose a powerful Atomic Breath attack directly at him. In response, Safi'jiiva unleashes a full-power Deep Star Fire to match the thin particle beam directed at him.

The 2 bright blue beam attacks collide in the void of Meta-riddled vacuum, creating a ball of light brighter than the sun at the point of collision. Yet again, both gods are evenly matched in raw power; however, the Overseer is the one to break the stalemate this time. Safi'jiiva's Deep Star Fire begins to condense into a thinner and more focused white beam, resulting in this new Piercing Star Fire steadily overwhelming Godzilla's Atomic Breath. Soon enough, Safi'jiiva's Piercing Star Fire pushes back the Atomic Breath entirely and explodes upon hitting Godzilla's face.

The young Godzillasaur turned Metarch is sent flying backwards from the explosion; the red dragon smirks in satisfaction. Eventually, Godzilla manages to shake herself out of her brief daze and manages to touch down on the surface of Neptune; the Overseer gets up and stands on his hind-legs as he looks down on Godzilla.


"An excellent exchange of blows, I must say. But I'm only just getting started, as you can plainly tell from how much I held back against the ones you've sworn to protect compared to the small displays I've made now."

"Perhaps I let vanity and arrogance get the better of me earlier. But if anyone deserves to be this way, should that privilege not fall upon an arbiter of creation itself?"


Upon hearing this, Godzilla growls loudly and menacingly; this only seems to get a bit of a chuckle from Safi'jiiva.


"Still not speaking, despite being more than capable of it?"

"A true god speaks whenever they are able! You must lord both your power and your eloquence over lesser beings!"


The red dragon flies at Godzilla once again, prompting the monster planet to fly towards him. This time, though, both Metarchs fire their beams at each other before they can clash in space, creating a blinding light that obscures both titans' vision. Godzilla attempts to make a swipe at what she senses to be her opponent, only to find herself slashing through a massive horde of Grimm mimicking a larger impression of Safi'jiiva's soul.

The Overseer has outplayed the young god.

Safi'jiiva uses this confusion to grab hold of Godzilla's snout with one hand to hold her jaws shut and slams her straight through Saturn, caring not for any amount of material that gets caught in the way; . He ends up plowing her body straight through the core of the planet and out the other end, collapsing the gas giant in its entirety due to it lacking a dense core to hold itself together without Meta physics to aid it.


"If you love the mortals so much, then burn in the hellfire of the lowly Demons with them!"


The Overseer proceeds to slam Godzilla into the sun, plunging both her and himself into the depths of this ball of unstable fission and plasma.

While the 2 quite literal gods are preoccupied with each other, the Mechagodzilla fleet has had enough time to recuperate from the brief disorientation of the initial shockwave and join up with each other again. All across the carrier ships, personnel and civilians alike are battening down the hatches and preparing for extended action and eventual long-term departure rather than the short in-system jumps that have been made thus far.

The flagship of the fleet, however, has not made such preparations to leave the system. Instead, non-essential personnel and all unaffiliated civilians have been steadily evacuated from the vessel.


(Gnl. Rasczak): Is that everyone?

(Mechagodzilla): YES. I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE LAST LIFEBOAT HAS DOCKED WITH THE NEAREST SHIP. THE FLEET IS READY TO EXIT THE SYSTEM.

(Jiro Ifukube): And all the monsters are on top of this ship?

(Mechagodzilla): YES. THE FLEET IS ALSO READY TO WARP TO JUST OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SYSTEM.

(Anna Maximoff): Then we're all set. It's time to help out Godzilla's fight against Safi'jiiva.


The rest of the Mechagodzilla fleet goes through Meta Tears, warping away to a safe location just a few light-years away from the solar system. Meanwhile, the flagship remains and heads off to join the fight.
