  1. [April 28, 2168]

  7.  
  8. On the island that once belonged to the Godzillasaurs, the larval Mothra has nearly completed setting up the symbol of the moth from unearthed Hotua ritual stones. As would be expected of such a massive endeavour, the previously moderately-sized clearing has grown immensely. While she's still digging through the bedrock, the little larva looks up into the sky and coos softly in response to an approaching object.
  9.  
  10. Jet Jaguar is on an approach vector to Jiran Island, with the disfigured Gojira on his back.
  11.  
  12.  
  13. (Air Control): [COMMS] Is this the visitor we were told to make way for?
  14.  
  15. (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] That's right. Jet Jaguar, to be specific.
  16.  
  17. (Air Control): [COMMS] Understood, ma'am. We'll clear a landing site for them.
  18.  
  19.  
  20. All of the site staff receive notifications on their datapads, prompting everyone to begin clearing the space immediately next to Mothra's clearing of their equipment and vehicles. Just as the last truck is wheeled away, Jet Jaguar begins to descend in an upright posture. Soon enough, it touches down, sending a light invisible wave of Ki energy outwards that everyone within its proximity can feel; thankfully, it's very heavily suppressed and thus doesn't blow anything heavier than paper away.
  21.  
  22. Gojira releases her grip on Jet Jaguar's shoulders and walks around him to the edge of the cliff walls bordering Mothra's clearing.
  23.  
  24. The large Mothra larva waddles away from the mandala she's been making to greet the new arrivals. The mutated young Godzillasaur looks down with a bit of confusion at the small caterpillar before her, though Jet Jaguar seems perfectly fine with everything, all things considered. Mothra coos at the super robot, who responds in kind with a mechanical vocalization and some unreadable hand gestures. Jet Jaguar then turns Gojira around to face him directly and makes a different set of gestures to communicate with her. While Gojira looks a bit confused, it seems to be more about the content of what the super robot communicated to her rather than an inability to understand his strange non-Human language.
  25.  
  26. Jet Jaguar then crouches down slightly before launching itself into the air; he flies into the direction of Roth-Ma Island. As he flies off into the distance, Mothra and Gojira are watching him the entire way until he disappears from sight.
  27.  
  28. With the two monsters left alone, things go silent. Silent for Gojira, anyways. The larval Mothra is all too eager to communicate with her, uttering shrieks and cooing excessively in quick succession. As she waddles back towards the middle of the clearing, she looks back and notices that Gojira hasn't left her spot. This seems to frustrate her greatly, as she's now shrieking loudly at her guest to follow her. Gojira seems to get the message and steps down into the clearing. Luckily, the clearing has been free of equipment and personnel for awhile now, meaning that the disfigured Godzillasaur can lumber through without any worry of trampling anything important.
  29.  
  30. Now that Gojira is standing next to the Mothra larva where she apparently wanted her, the giant grub is content enough to continue finishing up the Mothra symbol on the ground in front of her guest. While she goes off to dig for more Hotua ritual stones, the last member of the Godzillasaur lineage looks on at the mandala with curiosity.
  31.  
  32. She seems to see something that the Human, Synthetic, and alien races can't. In her vision, she sees a faint blue glow emanating from the Hotua engravings on the stones comprising the symbol.
  33.  
  34. A shriek from behind Gojira catches her attention. As she turns around, a small object is suddenly flung at her, prompting her to catch it in her tiny right hand. It's the last Hotua ritual stone, and it seems that Mothra expects Gojira to put it down into its proper place to complete the mandala; the disfigured young Godzillasaur obliges reluctantly. She glances hard at the mandala, eventually finding where the engraved rock is supposed to be placed. Gojira bends over and drops the rock in place. After doing this, the engravings on the stones all light up a bright blue in unison.
  35.  
  36. As Gojira rights herself up, the Mothra larva begins to climb up her tail and situates herself on her back, resting her head on top of Gojira's own.

  46.  
  47. On the island that belongs to the moth goddess and all that are under her protective care, Battra has nearly completed its own mandala, nearly catching up to his sister. While he levitates some of the last few Hotua ritual stones into their proper places, he looks up into the sky and shrieks loudly. As if on cue, an object in the sky comes into visibility. Upon coming closer, it becomes clear that the object on an approach vector towards Roth-Ma Island is in fact Jet Jaguar, flying faster than any recorded mech unit to date.
  48.  
  49. Soon enough, the super robot touches down at the mouth of the inactive volcano where Battra has been setting up his mother's symbol.
  50.  
  51. Battra pings the last Hotua ritual stone to Jet Jaguar, who catches it with lightning fast reflexes. The super robot then walks over to the last empty spot in the Mothra symbol and drops the engraved rock into its proper place. Upon completion, the engravings of the rocks comprising the mandala all start to light up with a bright green glow in stark contrast to the blue colouration from the sister isle's mandala.
  52.  
  53. Jet Jaguar then gets down on one knee next to the larval Battra and puts his left hand on the side of the giant grub's horned head.

  61. Within the darkness of the Meta, the Overseer looks upon the two crystalline shells before it, one blue and one green. Next to these two formations are the floating and broken remains of an orange crystal. All of a sudden, the two prison cells begin to crack; light shines out from out of the cracks in these crystalline shells.
  62.  
  63.  
  64. "So..... this has been your plan, insect."
  65.  
  66. "Split your soul here in the meta to reincarnate back in the material realm through the contingencies you left behind."
  67.  
  68. "It won't work, though. You aren't strong enough."
