- Thanks to the timely arrival of the daughter of Godzilla and the chelonian Keizer, the battle for Jeju Island has been one without major casualties; the same cannot be said of the battle for the Himalayas that eventually spilled into Bangladesh. As the G.U.D. and Separatist forces recover their bearings and take account of their losses, Gamera and Gojira have broken off from the main group.
- The two giants are standing next to each other as they look at the damage the young monster prodigy did to the Hallasan volcanic mountain.
- As the two gaze at the nearly evenly split inactive volcano, Dr. Wei Ho and Dr. Anna Maximoff chime in.
- (Wei Ho): [COMMS] You have to be REALLY careful, Jira. I know that you want to ensure that none of our enemies make it out in one piece, but the landscape can't take much before giving way, as you see here.
- The young Godzillasaur smirks a bit, though she doesn't brush him off like she did during the heat of combat a few hours earlier.
- (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Well, what's done is done. Gamera, I know you can hear us. I'm surprised you came in when you did. Did Mothra put you up to this?
- At first, the chelonian titan doesn't respond; this unnerves little Jira a bit, given that she's so close to these particular Humans. Eventually, however, he turns to look Jira in the eyes with the same compassion and kindness he displayed earlier once the combat had died down earlier. At first, the two merely stare at each other, exchanging feelings and phrases through subtle facial and body movements without so much as a growl uttered.
- (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Ummm...... well, it's nice that you two are getting along, but--
- All of a sudden, Gamera lifts his head upwards and roars loudly. The two scientists aren't sure what to make of this, though Jira is unphased by this display. Along with this, the plates in the centre of his undershell open up in their traditional cross pattern. However, the light that shines through the opening is ever so slightly different than when Gamera activates his "ultimate" plasma attack.
- A small orb composed of this very same light floats out from the opening in Gamera's undershell. This orb begins to morph and contort, eventually forming a Human figure. But not just any Human figure.
- This figure of light resembles none other than the deceased Laura Reed.
- For the longest while, Jira simply stares at the figure; Wei Ho and Anna Maximoff are silent on their COMMS lines as well. Finally, after what seems like forever, the young Godzillasaur falls onto her knees and starts to well up with emotion; streams of tears start to flow down her face. Even Wei Ho and Anna Maximoff can be heard welling up on their end.
- (Laura Reed): *telepathic* I take it my appearance is a bit of a controversial thing, isn't it?
- After wiping away the tears from her eyes, Jira stands back up and looks down at the astral projection of Laura Reed; Wei Ho and Anna Maximoff have managed to compose themselves and join in on tackling this revelation.
- (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] How...... how is this possible? They saw you die, we performed that "ritual" on Gamera!
- (Laura Reed): *telepathic* Funny you mentioned that ritua--
- (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Wait, that's it!
- Gamera, Jira, and Laura's astral form are slightly taken by surprise by Dr. Maximoff's quick turnaround.
- (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Your Ki must've become one with Gamera's despite your death, and thus your consciousness could persist past biological expiration! That make sense, Wei?
- (Wei Ho): [COMMS] Well, yeah. We already proved that consciousness can exist separate of the neurological structures of the Human body under certain circumstances.
- (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Exactly! Laura, we--
- (Laura Reed): *telepathic* ENOUGH!
- This sudden shout from the astral projection instantly silences her still-living companions; she seems to be a bit ashamed for having to do that, but she quickly composes herself.
- (Laura Reed): *telepathic* Yes, my essence was essentially fused with that of Gamera's. His memories and my own are one and the same. I don't exist as some separate entity within a gestalt. I AM the gestalt. I'm his soul, and what you're talking to is just the memories and personality of the person known as Laura Reed isolated from the rest of Gamera's soul in order to allow him to more easily and comfortably speak with her allies and friends back in life. But to answer your original question, Mothra conversed with an individual on Mars whom may have knowledge on the wider picture, and she sent Gamera to Earth in order to recruit Gojira for a mission to locate and destroy Irys once and for all.
- After the astral form's little outburst, everyone is silent and speechless; the original warm and heartfelt exchanges have drained away from everyone after having to confront the reality of the entire situation.
