Colossus By Design: Entry 0144 - The Great War, Part 1

[March 10, 2146]
[Johannesburg, African origin continent]

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

On the outskirts of the destroyed epicenter of Bagan's terraformed 'kingdom', many different varieties of P.E.M.F. are patrolling, all in Fractured states; several military escorts provide extra eyes and ears for the sentries, clearly under the influence of Bagan's powerful mental suggestion.

From the corner of a Mantid Buzzard's compound eyes, it spots a semi-collapsed apartment complex. All of a sudden, several large explosions detonate from within it and form an angry face. The P.E.M.F. calls to its fellow sentries and military escorts; they break off from the main patrol group to investigate the disturbance.

From under the ground, several large metallic hands shoot out, grabbing the P.E.M.F.s and dragging them down; their cries are quickly silenced. As the military escort vehicles prepare to sound the alarm, an invisible energy wave ripples through the surrounding area, completely shutting them down and sending them to the ground, leaving their pilots unconscious but not dead.

The ground next to the collapsed apartment complex shifts and cracks. The metallic hands emerge once more, this time breaking apart the earth entirely.

Tzar Bomba V2 digs her way out and is closely followed by Blade of the People, Union's Warrior, Royal Commando, and Godzilla.


(Feng Lee): Are we clear, Sasha?

(Sasha Kalashnikov): Hold on....


A flying Mantid Buzzard passes overhead, prompting the Warmongers and Godzilla to duck back into their hole briefly. Once it passes, Tzar Bomba V2 motions back to her allies.


(Sasha Kalashnikov): NOW!


Godzilla and the Warmongers quickly run out of the hole to take cover behind a large pile of crushed concrete and rocks; they peek overhead.


(Feng Lee): Arthur, get a visual!

(Arthur Roy): On it, Feng.


Royal Commando activates his visor's zoom function and zooms into the distance. Within his view, Royal Commando sees Bagan sitting on his throne;the egg containing Godzilla's offspring sits atop a rocky protrusion next to it; Godzilla growls under his breath. Union's Warrior looks back at him and strokes his snout, which seems to calm the alpha predator down a bit.


(Karen Marais): How many in between us and the target, Arthur?

(Arthur Roy): Let's see...... woah.

(Karen marais): What?

(Arthur Roy): Well, to answer your question, Karen.... A LOT. Like, hundreds.

(Sasha Kalashnikov): Alright, more to fight then!

(Karen Marais): I don't think that's grounds for celebration, Sasha.

(Sasha Kalashnikov): I think yes it is, Karen.


Whilst the others converse, Blade of the People's visor lights up, indicating she has engaged communication mode.


(Feng Lee): Thomas, do you read?

(Thomas Scott): [COMMS] I read you, Feng. How're things going on your end so far?

(Feng Lee): All according to plan. Besides the chattermouths.


Blade of the People looks at her teammates, which immediately silences them.


(Feng Lee): We're in position. You?

(Thomas Scott): [COMMS] We're just overhead, a few thousand meters above ground.

(Feng Lee): Is it time then?

(Thomas Scott): [COMMS] Yep. Let the big guy loose.

(Feng Lee): Got it. Karen?


Union's Warrior nods; she looks to Godzilla, who nods back at her. The two of them break off from the group and enter plain view of the horde of P.E.M.F.s between them and Bagan. All of the creatures roar, hiss, and snarl at the two.

Bagan raises his arm, silencing the horde. He roars at the two intruders and motions his arm forward. At this signal, the hundreds of P.E.M.F.s all charge forwards at Godzilla and Union's Warrior. Meanwhile, Union's Warrior turns around and faces Godzilla, with her back to the incoming P.E.M.F.s and her rotary shield spinning at full speed.

All of a sudden, her hull lights glow a deep red hue, and her metallic body courses with red aura energy. Godzilla's body begins lighting up the same way; his eyes, dorsal plates, and gill slits glow a pure white colour, with white aura energy surging around him.

Out of the blue, he lets out a pure white atomic breath from his mouth, impacting the fan shield. Although the shield begins to visibly heat up intensely, it holds. The spinning motion of the shield begins to split the atomic breath into multiple smaller beams that shoot out in all directions behind Union's Warrior.

These blasts begin to pick off large swathes of P.E.M.F.s, but their sheer numbers allow them to continue charging forward with almost no pause. After a few seconds of continuous fire, Tzar Bomba V2 and Blade of the People charge into the fray, dodging the atomic blasts themselves as they run into the incoming horde and engage in furious close combat; whilst Royal Commando stays back and shoots at any stragglers or airborne P.E.M.F.s.

Bagan is furious and fires randomly into the mess; he only manages to hit his own instead of his enemies. All of a sudden, a noise above him catches his attention. From the clouds, Gamera bursts out; flames spew from his mouth and the slits between his back-shell plating, and his eyes glow a bright yellow.

On his back, Freedom of Justice and Serizawa's Light are holding on tightly.
