Colossus By Design: Season 2 - Log 18

[South American Wasteland, former South American continent]

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

Outside of the rundown security station, a portion of the fleet that emerged from underneath the Xiao Long Insurance building in Shanghai has set up base in the area; groups of soldiers dressed in unrecognizable armor maintain a careful watch over the area. The bodies of several dozen G.U.D. military and civilian personnel are strewn about the area after being gunned down.

Inside the shack, two technicians are tinkering with the security controls, trying to unlock something. After many failed attempts, the door to the shack opens.

None other than Daiyu Chen herself, the leader of the reformed Children of Monsters, steps through; she's accompanied by the cult's newly minted 'god', the second Irys. However, the creature has since grown larger; large plates jut out from the sides of its shell, and its head is more narrow and pointed with blade-like offshoots. When he floats into the room, the two technicians kneel before him.

Irys growls softly and moves one of his tentacles in a rising fashion, prompting the two to rise to their feet.


(Daiyu Chen): Have you broken in, yet?

(Technician 1): Sorry, ma'am. We have been unsuccessful. The nest of our former gods is inaccessible.

(Technician 2): But we will keep trying! We promise that--

(Daiyu Chen): SILENCE!


The two technicians immediately stop talking. Afterwards, Irys floats over to the main terminal and gestures to the technicians to move aside with his tentacles; he raises one tentacle over the controls. With the small blade from the tip, he stabs it down into the controls.

At first, everything in the room shuts down. However, after a few seconds, everything inexplicably turns back on; complete access has been granted across the board.


(Technicians): Amen to the Grand One.


The two technicians kneel once again. After Irys nods towards them, they rise.


(Daiyu Chen): Now we can use the nest to gain access to the network of our former gods. Irys will lead the Gyaos through the network and conquer all for our cause.


Daiyu Chen and Irys step outside the shack. In the middle of where the fleet of airships has formed a circle, the ground opens up. The site where proto-P.E.M.F. pods were first discovered is revealed; G.U.D. equipment set up around the area that was brought in to monitor and record data on the pods is also present.

Irys quickly hovers over to the centre of the site and faces the largest pod of all. Everyone at the site gathers around the perimeter of the opening, anxiously awaiting what will happen next.

After a few moments of staring, the revered creature raises all of its bladed tentacles and stabs directly into the center pod. At first, nothing happens. Eventually, the pod begins to convulse and contort from within, changing from a bright glowing bluish green into a blood-red colour.

As it does, this corruption slowly begins to spread to and overtake more pods in succession through the liquid veins strewn across the site; every single pod has been converted. All of the cultists cheer, but their appraisal is cut short as quakes are felt through the ground.

The very earth begins to shake and rumble, but it all seems to be coming from a single direction. As everyone turns around, they see a being looming over the docked fleet of ships; the sight of it has everyone silent.

Godzilla has arrived.


"SKREEEEEOOOOONNNKKK!!!"


The king of the monsters roars loudly and charges through the airships; he plows through them like paper. As the non-combatants scramble to get into their designated ships, the soldiers fire upon the monster, though they fail to grab his attention.

Godzilla focuses on one object in particular: the flagship of the fleet, the drill-tipped vehicle that resembles an extremely large submarine. He charges at the ship, ready to tear it apart.

However, just moments before he reaches it, an object from the sky comes careening down in an arc. The object is so fast that Godzilla can only barely manage to turn around before being hit with a lightning-fast flying metal kick that sends him flying off to the side.

Amidst the destruction, the Japanese Warmonger, Serizawa's Light, stands with jet-wings raised and still active. He disengages them and retract them towards his back.

Godzilla gets back up to his feet and rubs his jaw with his hand, not happy in the slightest.
