  7.  
  8. The mass of Destroyer Aggregates that have invaded Roth-Ma Island have nearly completed recombining into a larger and more advanced form. Before it fully forms, the remaining few individuals that have been holding Mothra at bay with their Micro-Oxygen quickly cease their counterattack and return to the collective.
  9.  
  10. With this opening, the larval incarnation of Mothra takes the opportunity to spray the whole swarm down with silk in an attempt to ensnare them; she manages to cover the Destroyers so thoroughly that a large hill of white silk has formed around them.
  11.  
  12. For a brief few moments, the infant monster goddess relaxes a bit after having apparently stalled the final stage of Bagan's evolution.
  13.  
  14. All of a sudden, the silk hill explodes quite violently in a cloud of pink and yellow bolts of energy. Soon after, this Micro-Oxygen energy shoots upwards into the sky as a single large beam; a dark shape can be seen shooting up within the beam. Before the beam reaches the clouds above, it explodes outwards in a fireworks-like display.

  18. [Date Sighted]: April 19, 2168
  19. [Location]: Roth-Ma Island; Pacific Ocean
  20.  
  21. [Height]: 30 meters
  22. [Length]: 135 meters
  23. [Weight]: 58,000 tons
  24.  
  25. [Abilities]: Can emit a Micro-Oxygen Beam that can tear apart the molecular bonds of organic beings and carries large kinetic force against inorganic objects; highly regenerative body that can break down into lesser forms and recombine back into a functional state; can now fly with incredible grace and speed, almost like a stealth bomber; has surprising strength and endurance even for a creature its size
  26.  
  27. [Appearance]: Dark-red and black crustaceous aesthetic and shell texture that's adorned with spikes all over; eight small sprawling legs from body base near the tail; has four crab-like appendages sprawling out from the sides with a membrane extending from the tip to the body that serve as wings; short tail at the rear of the base ending in a claw-like apparatus; structure resembling a closed Death Lilly is present on the front of the main body; terrifying head with protrusions shaped somewhat like demonic wings, dark yellow and orange compound eyes, and a pronounced jawed mouth with small fangs lining it
  28.  
  29. [Codename]: "Destroyer Imago"
  30.  
  31. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  32.  
  33. The flying Imago form of the Destroyer parasite emerges from the explosion of Micro-Oxygen energy, with four wings and a more developed vertebrate set of jaws.
  34.  
  35. The Destroyer Imago soars further upwards and briefly places itself directly in the path of the sun, silhouetting itself against the sunlight shining down on the beach of Roth-Ma Island below. The flying devil then dives downward at full speed like a peregrine falcon towards the Mothra larva. The young monster goddess attempts to shoot her silk at the dive-bombing beast, but the advanced Destroyer form counters it with a powerful Micro-Oxygen beam that shreds right through the sticky fibers and impacts the ground in front of the enormous caterpillar.
  36.  
  37. The resulting impact creates a shower of small explosions that blow the underdeveloped Mothra away; she lands on her side in some of the foliage of the jungle bordering the beach.
  38.  
  39. The Destroyer Imago then starts performing strafing runs in the airspace above Mothra, liberally trying to pepper her with Micro-Oxygen beams. Although most of these attacks miss, the explosions they create upon contact with the ground continue to throw the larval goddess into the air quite consistently; they also instantly decay any organic matter they make contact with.
  40.  
  41. The few hits that Mothra does directly take clearly hurt her quite severely; they don't seem to leave any actual lasting damage, however. Instead, her Ki seems to have been damaged and drained heavily; this is evident from her body actually sinking into the ground despite control of Ki to prevent one's mass from sinking into the ground being a relatively simple and unconscious skill for most monsters.
  42.  
  43. Just as the Destroyer Imago is about to finish off its quarry with one last bombing run, it's suddenly hit with several missiles that detonate into clouds of plasma.
  44.  
  45. But what's the source of these missiles?
  46.  
  47. The C.D.F.'s military arms. Several fighter jets move in and start peppering the Destroyer form with autocannon fire; though this fails to actually do any damage, they do succeed in getting its attention. The Imago form of Bagan's final evolution begins a pursuit of the fighter jets; it proves to be their equal in agility and speed, easily swerving and maneuvering to keep track of the much smaller drone aircraft.
  48.  
  49. The jets start to descend, and the Destroyer Imago follows suit; such a maneuver, flying in so low and close to the ocean at these speeds, seems uncharacteristic of general C.D.F. military protocol. However, the purpose of this tactic soon makes itself clear. Several naval ships appear out of nowhere, revealing themselves after deactivating the their activate camouflage.
  50.  
  51. These ships appear to be making use of experimental Bilusaludo technology, as they have several unfamiliar pieces of equipment in place of their normal ballistic and energy-based artillery guns.
  52.  
  53. All seven ships fire off their weapons, blue beams from ULT lasers and Maser cannons, at the incoming Destroyer Imago. Upon impact, a large blue-coloured explosion results that completely engulfs the flying devil. After a few moments, the Destroyer Imago emerges from the cloud. Although it doesn't have any permanent damage sustained, the creature flies off into the distance anyways as though it were repelled. The fighter jet drones are recalled to the naval fleet, while a few ships break off from the main group in pursuit of the new form of the Destroyer.
  54.  
  55.  
  56. (Fleet Admiral): [COMMS] This is the fleet admiral of C.D.F Naval Group Jiran. Two new entities have been confirmed by Roth-Ma Island. Please advise on next course of action.
