  22. With the unexpected "return" of Laura Reed via the Atlantean guardian Gamera, things have gotten quite emotional for Gojira, Wei Ho, and Anna Maximoff. After the astral projection's outburst over her former comrades' musings over her own existence at the current moment, everyone has been quiet.
  23.  
  24. This period of silence has drawn the attention of the Separatist Mimetics and C.D.F. regiments stationed on the island; they've been slowly encircling the group, obviously without their weapons active.
  25.  
  26. Finally, the ghostly soul of Laura Reed speaks up.
  27.  
  28.  
  29. (Laura Reed): *telepathic* I'm sorry if this isn't the reunion anyone expected. But Gamera needs Gojira's help, and I was just the channel of communication. My time to talk to you is almost up. Is there anything else we should discuss?
  30.  
  31. (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Just one thing. What should we tell Jiro?
  32.  
  33.  
  34. Upon hearing this question, the ghostly apparition puts her hand to her chin and thinks for a second. Finally, she seems to come to an answer.
  35.  
  36.  
  37. (Laura Reed): *telepathic* Tell him that I said hello. And also..... to come seek out Gamera when the time is right. I'll make sure his request is fulfilled this time. Well, it's time for me to go. Please keep on fighting, no matter what.

  39.  
  40. After she says her piece, the astral projection of Laura Reed collapses into its original orb-like shape and returns into Gamera's chest region; the shell plating in the area close up soon after. Gamera turns his back to Jira and begins to activate his hindlimb jets. As he does, he motions to the young Godzillasaur, apparently telling her to come with him.
  41.  
  42. She obliges and climbs onto the Atlantean turtle's back; the two of them begin to rise into the air soon after.

  55. Next to the main headquarters of the Global Union of Divisions, the King of the Monsters himself, Godzilla, is standing. As the bodies of the Kaiju he eliminated are being studied around him, he himself is the subject of a full-body checkup via drones equipped with biometric scanners. Due to many years of dealing with Humans and their technology, as well as a bit of softening up thanks to him raising his Human-empathetic daughter, the extremely aged alpha predator allows these small machines to perform their scans on him with some minor annoyance on his part.
  56.  
  57. As they continue to perform their routine procedures, something catches the old king's attention. He can't physically see, but his attuned Ki sensing allows him to ever so slightly follow whatever it is in the distance.
  58.  
  59. No one else notices, but it appears as if a blue streak is moving at extreme speeds across the water. All of a sudden, Godzilla goes into a rather breakneck stride, destroying some of the drones and otherwise disorienting the others; he rushes into the water and swims off into the distance.

  67. On the cameras and scanners in the war room, Godzilla's sudden departure has caught the attention of everyone in the vicinity. In particular, Jiro Ifukube and General Rico Rasczak are peering over the shoulders of one of the officers monitoring the feeds.
  68.  
  69.  
  70. (Gnl. Rico Rasczak): Where's Godzilla going?
  71.  
  72. (Jiro Ifukube): I might have an idea.
  73.  
  74. (Gnl. Rico Raczak): Lay it on me, then.
  75.  
  76. (Jiro Ifukube): We detected a small blip moving at supersonic speeds shortly before our attention became preoccupied with Godzilla's sudden departure. However, we detected no significant aftereffects. This, combined with the object's small size, would imply that some kind of Post-Human is responsible. This anomaly was detected in the same general direction where Godzilla is heading right now.
  77.  
  78.  
  79. Everyone comes to a realization after hearing their former superior's rundown of the situation.
  80.  
  81.  
  82. (Jiro Ifukube): I believe that the Post-Human known as "Zoom" has lured Godzilla away for reasons unknown.
