  1. [May 1, 2168]

  7.  
  8. Outside of Mt. Fuji, C.D.F. authorities have showed up to secure a perimeter around the now entirely Nanometal inactive volcano. All around the converted research base, a killzone of masers and railguns has been set up that leaves no angle unattended. While the C.D.F. reinforcements arrive to help secure the area, President Tori Bott-80 and her personal security detail comes onto the scene.
  9.  
  10. The Japanese G.U.D. representative looks on with some curiosity, though there is also worry on her face. One of the non-combat personnel next to her opens up a COMMS channel to the Bilusaludo project leads within.
  11.  
  12.  
  13. (President Bott-80): What's going on here, Dolu-do? The G.U.D. did NOT authorize any such developments of your Mechagodzilla project. My analysts tell me that they're detecting high nanobot activity. If you've inadvertently started a grey swarm scenario--
  14.  
  15. (Mechagodzilla): APOLOGIES FOR ACTING OUTSIDE PROJECT PARAMETERS. THIS IS HEAVY MASS NANOMETAL MECHAGODZILLA PROTOTYPE, ZALU-ZI TYPE 1 MODIFIED "DEIDE". I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTING OUTSIDE PROJECT PARAMETERS.
  16.  
  17.  
  18. The sudden booming communication from Mt. Fuji itself startles many of the secure zone's non-combat personnel and even a few of the C.D.F. soldiers, though the Japanese president is stoic if a bit more skeptical. Some of the Nanometal near the foot of the inactive volcano starts to shift and deform, prompting the C.D.F. stationed around it to aim their E.M.P. equipment at it; a hand signal from President Bott-80 gets the soldiers to stand down for the moment. The deforming Nanometal reforms into a door similar to that of the Bilusaludo's own ships.
  19.  
  20. The door opens up, and General Dolu-do and the project staff under his command step out.
  21.  
  22.  
  23. (Gnl. Dolu-do): Everyone, please calm down. The situation is completely in control.
  24.  
  25. (President Bott-80): General, what is going on? We're already dealing with the fallout of the Destroyer hitting Antarctica and Mary Stoker escaping with Daiyu Chen in tow. The fact that I've taken away resources from the investigation into the Axis Alliance remnants is bad enough, but this is unprecedented!
  26.  
  27. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): President Bott-80, if I might interject?
  28.  
  29.  
  30. The Synthetic representative turns to look at the Bilusaludo commander, though she seems a bit annoyed and stressed out over the whole situation.
  31.  
  32.  
  33. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): Mechagodzilla is now an entirely self-sufficient production. It can advance itself and convert material at a rate unheard of even to the mightiest Kaiju we've seen thus far. Surely you could use the resources that Mechagodzilla can provide to bolster your efforts, especially since Daiyu Chen being targeted can only mean that the creature known as Irys has reappeared.
  34.  
  35. (President Bott-80): Do you gush this often about your projects with your friends?
  36.  
  37. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): Only when the results are this promising, ma'am.
  38.  
  39. (President Bott-80): Fine. But you keep that thing in check. If it crosses the line, I WILL have it E.M.P.'d back into the stone age.
  40.  
  41. (General Dolu-do): Very well, we accept these terms. Mechagodzilla, send out the Vultures we designed together in there.
  42.  
  43. (Mechagodzilla): UNDERSTOOD. SENDING OUT VULTURE UNITS.
  44.  
  45.  
  46. Several spots dotted near the summit of the converted Mt. Fuji start to deform and contort, eventually forming launch hatches. As they open up, what look to be modified variants of the Bilusaludo-derived Power Suits are launched. Soon enough, dozens of the winged exo-loaders, now armed with powerful artillery-grade railguns instead of their original 20mm automatic railguns, hover in the air above the converted research centre.
  47.  
  48. The name designation changes from the "Mt. Fuji Joint-Species Research Centre" to "Mechagodzilla Prime".
  49.

  58.  
  59. Over the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, the Destroyer continues to fly back to where it is presumably semi-permanently roosting at the moment. Drone fighters are in pursuit, albeit maintaining a minimum recon distance of a few kilometres so as to not attract its attention. Despite this, it seems as though Mary Stoker and Daiyu Chen have taken notice of their pursuers.
  60.  
  61.  
  62. (Daiyu Chen): Those drones are still following us.
  63.  
  64. (Mary Stoker): You stay with Oxy here. I'll take care of this.
  65.  
  66. (Daiyu Chen): Oxy? Seriously?
  67.  
  68.  
  69. The formerly comatose ex-Denouncer tightens her grip on the Destroyer Imago's shoulder. As she does this, Mary Stoker loosens her own grip and starts to stand up; her footing is a bit loose, but she remains planted relatively firmly as she walks across the crustaceous abomination's body to get closer to its head.
  70.  
  71.  
  72. (Mary Stoker): Oxy, I'm gonna take care of these pesky bugs following us. Help me out, a little?
  73.  
  74.  
  75. The Destroyer shrieks in response to the Post-Human terrorist's request. It then ascends with great speed, disappearing into the cloud layers above. While the drones scan the area for any sign of it, the Destroyer suddenly emerges above the fighters from the clouds hovering over them, covering them up in a thick shadow. From this shade, the beastly shadow form of Bloody Mary emerges to claw at and tear apart the leading drone. Just before it falls to pieces entirely, she slinks back into the shadows.
  76.  
  77. The other drone attempts to turn around and flee the area, but Bloody Mary strikes again, appearing out of the shade atop it. Her ghostly shadow form rips and tears at the flimsy fighter plane, eventually tearing out the A.I. core.
  78.  
  79. As the drone starts falling apart and losing altitude, Mary Stoker transforms back into her Human form and jumps off; the Destroyer quickly dives ahead of her and spreads its wings out, catching her before she can reach dangerous velocity. The 3 of them then continue on their original flight path.
