  7.  
  8. Despite how tired she was earlier, Gojira suddenly gains a burst of energy and rushes over to the petrified Godzilla, sending Mothra tumbling off of her back next; the giant larva barely misses crushing Wei Ho. At first, Gojira merely looks up at her father's stone face. Eventually, though, she moves in, presses her head against her petrified father's chest, and closes her eyes.
  9.  
  10. While this is going on, Wei Ho walks over to Mothra's face to check in on her. Although the big grub is a bit dazed, she quickly shakes this off. She looks directly at Wei Ho briefly before she heads off and starts climbing out of the clearing; Wei Ho smiles as she leaves, apparently understanding whatever it is she told him nonverbally. The good doctor then turns his attention to Gojira and Godzilla and brings up his datapad. Based on his scan data, the petrified Godzilla shows no active lifesigns.
  11.  
  12. These readings wipe the smile off of his face.
  13.  
  14.  
  15. (Wei Ho): Don't worry, Gojira, we'll figure out how to help your father.
  16.  
  17.  
  18. In response to this, Gojira pulls back from nuzzling Godzilla's stone body and looks down at her 'uncle'; she nods to him, then turns to look up to her father once again. While she's preoccupied, Wei Ho scrolls through his datapad and checks his notifications. He opens up a COMMS channel that's been pinging for awhile.
  19.  
  20.  
  21. (Wei Ho): Good to see you're still okay, Eobard.
  22.  
  23. (Eobard Thawne): [COMMS] Likewise, Wei. Did what I think happened happen to you?
  24.  
  25. (Wei Ho): Yeah. Godzilla's here.
  26.  
  27. (Eobard Thawne): [COMMS] So both him and Gamera are back in our universe. Guess we know exactly why Mothra and Battra were building their mother's symbol here and on Jiran Island. Another thing.....
  28.  
  29. (Wei Ho): Let me guess. Battra left the island and went out to sea.
  30.  
  31. (Eobard Thawne): [COMMS] Mothra too, huh?
  32.  
  33. (Wei Ho): Yep. Alright, standby over there. I'll call you again if anything comes up on my end.
  34.  
  35. (Eobard Thawne): [COMMS] I'll make sure to do the same for you.
  36.  
  37.  
  38. The man behind the Flash ends the call, leaving Wei Ho staring at his datapad once again; he then forwards the data he's gathered on the petrified Godzilla to Anna Maximoff and Jiro Ifukube. After he finishes this, the experienced biologist swipes through his files and work, stopping at the files pertaining to the Bilusaludo's latest iteration of Mechagodzilla: Kiryu.
  39.  
  40. At first, Wei Ho is a bit hesitant. However, he eventually gives in and starts working through the data he was given on the mech unit's Godzillasaur-based DNA computer interface; there's clearly already been some progress made on it already, signifying that he's already been working on it beforehand. Wei Ho begins completing more of the gene sequencing and giving the greenlight for different neural patterns and connections. After a bit more DNA-interface sequencing, Wei Ho zooms out from the entire data set; he's about to send it off to General Dolu-do, but he hesitates.

  50.  
  51. At the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, one of General Rasczak's submersible fleets is patrolling the area in search of the Axis Alliance due to suspicion of them eliminating the investigation submarine headed by Nick Valentine-87 and Emmy Kano. Nothing across the ocean floor that pings on their sonar is out of the ordinary. Just as the submarines are about to move their search to another sector, one ping catches the attention of the crew of the last submarine pulling out of the sector.
  52.  
  53.  
  54. (Sub 2 Crew Officer): [COMMS] We got something. Metallic shape, it looks like.
  55.  
  56. (Sub 1 Captain): [COMMS] Alright, move the drones in to confirm. We don't want any false positives.
  57.  
  58. (Sub 2 Crew Officier): [COMMS] On it, sir.
  59.  
  60.  
  61. The drones are sent out once again from the underbays of the submarines to scan the area that pinged the sonar of one of the submarines. Soon enough, they manage to home in on the stra signal that the fleet caught. Based on their scans, there's something large and metallic buried underneath the silt. Strangely enough, though, deep layer scans reveal organic signatures embedded within this metallic structure.
  62.  
  63.  
  64. (Sub 2 Crew Officer): [COMMS] Metal and organic? Odd. It also looks relatively new, as if it was buried here only recently within the last few hours.
  65.  
  66. (Sub 1 Captain): [COMMS] Let's dig it out, then, see what we have.
  67.  
  68.  
  69. The drones equip their excavation tools and prepare to clear out the sand and silt away from the pinged object. All of a sudden, the object rises out of the ground and destroys the drones. It looks humanoid, like a Warmonger; the plating along the spinal region of its back starts opening up shortly after it rises.
  70.  
  71.  
  72. (Sub 1 Captain): [COMMS] Send a message to the G.U.D.! We have a situation on our hand!
  73.  
  74. (Sub 2 Crew Officer): [COMMS] Long-range COMMS aren't working! I think that thing's jamming it!
  75.  
  76. (Sub 1 Captain): [COMMS] Battle stations!
  77.  
  78.  
  79. The fleet turns around to face this unknown assailant. All three vessels launch several salvos of anti-armour torpedoes at the unidentified metallic-organic humanoid, resulting in massive explosions that create a large underwater cloud of debris and silt and send a pressure wave that visibly shakes the submersible fleet a kilometre away. However, primary scanners aren't picking up anything and look to be jammed like the long-range COMMS channels.
  80.  
  81. The debris cloud clears up, revealing the unknown assailant to be unharmed. However, electrical arcs of Ki energy can be visibly seen around its shoulders. The shoulder plates then open up, revealing several barrels for torpedoes that look identical to those mounted on the fleet's submarines.
  82.  
  83.  
  84. (Sub 1 Captain): [COMMS] Engage hardlight shielding!
  85.  
  86.  
  87. The three submersibles activate their hardlight shielding, coating their hulls in bright orange paneling of light made solid. The unidentified humanoid attacker fires off its own version of the torpedoes it was hit with directly at the fleet, easily piercing through their shielding and rupturing their hulls. With its quarry disabled, the towering giant pulls itself out of the sandy bottom entirely and strides over toward the sinking fleet.
