Colossus By Design: Season 2 - Log 67

[March 5, 2166]
[Sydney Opera House]
[Sydney, former Australian island]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Within the ruins of what was once the pride and joy of the city of Sydney, the grand Opera House, a massive Angilasaur, a species of evolved P.E.M.F. that was found within the same time period that Godzilla's species lived in, has halted its spree of destruction.

This creature, possibly the largest specimen ever encountered in recent years, stares up into the sky. A dark shape up above has caught her attention; it grows larger and more defined as it flies closer and closer. At last, the shape can be made out: the sleek shape of a large mechanical humanoid, with a relatively minimalist and athletic build similar to that of Warmonger unit Serizawa's Light, save for large gauntlets covering its forearms and a pair of wing-like stabilizing fins sticking out of the sides of its back.

As the Guardian Sentinel approaches, the Angilasaur roars loudly; she stands up on her two hind-legs and grabs handfuls of the opera house's debris with her front limbs. The monster throws these handfuls at the oncoming defense unit with great force, trying to knock it out of the sky.

However, the G.S. Blade model effortlessly dodges the thrown building handfuls and continues to draw ever closer. Soon enough, the unit is just a thousand feet from the point of contact. As it approaches, local military forces scuttle the area, leaving the Angilasaur the sole being within the immediate vicinity.

All of a sudden, the Guardian Sentinel thrusts forward with a startling burst of speed, slamming its fist straight into the monster's stomach and driving it into the ground.

The force of the impact completely collapses the remainders of the opera house in addition to kicking up a large cloud of dust that covers the whole area. Despite the shroud, movement can be heard within, and additional debris is being kicked up from the unseen motions between the two titans; this enlarges the volume of dust further.

The seven aerial support vehicles surrounding the combat zone angle themselves around the large dust cloud; they synchronize the activation of their thrusters, blowing away the cloud to get a clear visual on the battle going down on the ground.

The dust cloud settles, showing the two colossi trading blows with each other; the Angilasaur, though larger when standing on her hind-legs, is more adept on all fours, thus allowing her claw swipes to be easily ducked under and blocked by the Guardian Sentinel.

After effortlessly countering each blow, the G.S. Blade grabs hold of the creature's neck. The animal trashes about, but due to her head being held upwards and her arms being relatively short, she fails to break the grip of the Blade model. Instead, she feels the full brunt of an RE-pulsar thruster-assisted straight gut punch that sends the Angilasaur flying backwards onto her back.

The monster tries rolling from side to side like a turtle to right herself, but she's unsuccessful.


(Guardian Sentinel Blade-2): I've got the Angilasaur immobilized. Am I to use lethal or nonlethal means of subduing her?

(Lunar Command): [COMMS] Nonlethal, just like the last few cases, Blade-2.

(Guardian Sentinel Blade-2): Understood, Lunar Command.


After receiving orders from Lunar Command, G.S. Blade-2 activates its gauntlets; each one opens up to reveal a heavily up-scaled hypodermic needle, as well as a large tank of green liquid attached to the needles. The mechanical humanoid puts one foot down on the Angilasaur's stomach to stop her from squirming; the unit proceeds to jab one of the needles into the monster's upper body, apparently calming it down somewhat.

As G.S. Blade-2 prepares to inject the beast with another dosage, it suddenly performs a death roll like a crocodile; she's now on top of the Guardian Sentinel. She starts biting down on Blade-2's head casing, denting it more and more as she continues to crunch on it.

The animal's large forearms weigh down Blade-2's own, making it extremely difficult to lift them up. However, the defense unit manages to raise its right arm containing the unused hypodermic needle from its gauntlet just enough to jab the Angilasaur in the neck. Soon after, the monster falls completely unconscious and slumps on top of the Guardian Sentinel.

Blade-2 slips the monster off of itself and dusts its body off a bit.


(G.S. Blade-2): Lunar Command, do you read?

(Lunar Command): [COMMS] Lunar Command here, Blade-2.

(G.S. Blade-2): Angilasaur is subdued and awaiting retrieval.

(Lunar Command): [COMMS] Copy that. We'll be sending in two Fortress-class Guardian Sentinels to your location to relocate the P.E.M.F. to O'Connor Station on Mars.


After notifying Lunar Command of the completed objective, G.S. Blade-2 starts to hover above the ground, slowly gaining height as its thrusters fire up at full power. Back on the ground, next to the unconscious Angilasaur's face, a teenager in a hood walks up to the monster's snout.

The teenager's eyes glow a bright yellow colour as he touches the beast's body.
