Colossus By Design: Entry 0134 - A Big Hurdle

[February 25, 2146]
[Antarctica]
[Global Union of Divisions Headquarters]

[All six Warmongers are present in main underground hangar bay and undergoing repairs]
[World leaders, Director Jiro Ifukube and his associates walk in on a platform at eye level with them]


(Director Ifukube): ATTENTION!!


[All Warmongers power up immediately]


(Warmongers): SIR!

(Director Ifukube): At ease.

(Thomas Scott): Sir, what's the situation currently?

(Director Ifukube): Laura, show them the footage.

(Dr. Laura Reed): Of course, Director.


[Dr. Reed sends the footage from her datapad directly to the Warmongers' neural networks]
[All Warmongers watch, from their POVs, the footage captured yesterday of Bagan's terraforming of the surface, as well as the underground evacuation of civilians undertaken by President Nigel Mandela]


(Director Ifukube): You all saw what this thing can do.

(Feng Lee): He seems extremely strong, even stronger than Godzilla himself.

(Dr. Wei Ho): No doubt about it. But reports, and the footage, show another anomaly. The skin of certain P.E.M.F.s appeared to be fractured, somewhat like the cracks in a volcano, glowing with energy.

(Dr. Anna Maximoff): And from what little we managed to gather on such appearances, this 'fractured' state is an elevated increase in a P.E.M.F.'s non-standard DE energy. But you all know that, don't you?


[All Warmongers nod slowly]


(Karen Marais): By this point, regular P.E.M.F.s were becoming easier to handle. We could take on larger numbers of them at one time, individually.

(Arthur Roy): They compensated by getting smarter

(Sasha Kalashnikov): But with this power, even one of them gave us trouble. Smarter AND stronger. They even gave Godzilla a good fight.

(Director Ifukube): Yes, quite.

(Thomas Scott): What has the G.U.D. done so far in our absence?

(Chancellor Dmitri Kalashnikov): Take look for yourself.


[Chancellor Kalashnikov uploads earlier footage caught of multiple long-range nuclear strikes being shot at Bagan to the Warmongers' neural networks]
[Footage shows Bagan raising one of his hands, stopping the nukes in mid-air, then causing them to detonate harmlessly above the Earth's surface]


(President Shinji Kazuma): Unfortunately, our attempts at nuclear force have been completely halted by this..... 'Bagan'. We can't take him out from long range using conventional weapons.

(Chancellor Kalashnikov): Shame, too, because other P.E.M.F.s showed fear at huge number of nukes coming towards them.

(Thomas Scott): So what's the plan then, sir?


[Director Ifukube paces back and forth, with his gaze turned away from the others, before finally looking back at them]


(Director Ifukube): I suggest we study this 'Fractured' phenomenon, study its properties, learn to harness it. It isn't too dissimilar to the berserk state that Mr. Scott has utilized before, so theoretically, all of you, as well as Godzilla, Mothra, and Gamera, should be able to achieve it.

(Arthur Roy): Pardon me sir, but....... if that doesn't work out, then what's the backup plan?

(Director Ifukube): If that doesn't work out, we'll...... we'll have to resort to this.


[Director Ifukube produces a large hologram from his datapad for everyone to see]
[Hologram shows a detailed image of the only modern day Oxygen Destroyer]


(Dr. Laura Reed): Director.... sensei..... are you sure?

(Director Ifukube): I myself would prefer we simply bury this, never to be examined again, but...... it might be our only option if all else fails. In any case, as soon as you six are done with your repairs, I want--


[Every single physical and holographic monitor suddenly activates, all overwritten with a single feed]
[Feed shows Bagan apparently sitting in what appears to be a throne of sorts; his eyes glow a deep red]
