Colossus By Design: Entry 0148 - Remember Thomas

[March 10, 2146]
[Johannesburg, African origin continent]

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

Godzilla, Gamera, and the remaining Warmongers stand in a circle; their heads are lowered in mourning of their recent losses. For several minutes, there is nothing but silence. After this period of silence, the first to break it is not one of the giants present, but instead the Earth itself.

During Bagan's reign over the region, the city of Johannesburg and neighbouring areas had been covered in perpetual darkness and storms, without any indication of the sun ever being seen again for survivors. But now, the darkness has cleared. For the first time in weeks since his global influence, a state of calm has commenced. The sun has finally broken through the sea of storm clouds, shining brighter than ever before.

As it does, several small tunnel entrances begin to open up; thousands of survivors begin to surface from their underground shelters in the wake of the evolved P.E.M.F.'s takeover. They all gather in one large circle around Godzilla, Gamera, and the Warmongers; they begin to cheer so loudly that it's audible even to all of their giant saviours' ears. The group looks around and glances at the sea of faces; if they could smile, they would.

One section of the crowd moves forward, towards Godzilla. He looks down at them; they're carrying the egg containing his child on a large cart. He bends over and picks it up, cradling it gently in his arms with a look of relief and joy in seeing it safe and secure in his hands.

Godzilla motions Gamera and the Warmongers to gather around him; they do so, and look down at the egg. It begins to crack and wiggle, with fault lines appearing all over it, until finally, the top half breaks open. Now sitting in Godzilla's arms lies a tiny infant version of him, no larger than a T-Rex in comparison to its father, with large golden eyes, a proportionately smaller tail and limbs, and little nubs running down its neck to the end of its tail.

The baby lets out a faint but very distinct roar resembling a high-pitched version of its father; Gamera and the Warmongers get a visible chuckle out of it. Union's Warrior puts her hand forward in an attempt to stroke its head, but Blade of the People puts one her chainsaw arms in the way of her friend's hand.


(Feng Lee): Probably shouldn't start a second war now, Karen.

(Karen Marais): Ha. Yeah. Cute, isn't he?

(Sasha Kalashnikov): Actually, it's a she.

(Feng Lee): How would you know, Sasha?

(Sasha Kalashnikov): I just do, Feng.


From the skies, two bright lights descend. Glowing particles sprinkle down from these lights over the baby; she swipes at them with her tiny hands, playing with an innocent sense of enjoyment.

The giants look up and see the two Mothra-like creatures floating down; they're soon hovering in the very centre of the group. The two being are very small, only slightly larger than Godzilla's child; they begin to speak to the others telepathically.


(Shobijin): *telepathic* You've done it. The ancient evil has been defeated, and the Sea King's heir can now happily live her life with her father.

(Feng Lee): Wait, who are you two? We saw you emerge after defeating Bagan.

(Shobijin): *telepathic* We are the two halves of Mothra, the two sides of her soul. When the ancient evil corrupted her, she could only watch as she was forced to do battle with you all. But when her body was struck by your force, it died. Her soul lives on as us. We are her will and heart, and will continue her quest for ushering in peace, although we cannot fight alongside you.

(Feng Lee): So, you're her representatives then?

(Shobijin): *telepathic* Yes. We will guide you and your species towards a better future, as well as the Sea King's heir as she grows. But for the time being, we must be off, and restore this planet back to its state before the ancient evil rose.


The Mothra twins combine into one larger version, though it's still smaller than the original Mothra, and fly off into the distance; Godzilla, his daughter, Gamera, and the Warmongers watch them all the way. Serizawa's Light speaks up after a few moments.


(Satoshi Yamane): Bagan has been vanquished, but the world will still need us to help usher in the new age.

(Feng Lee): You got that right, Satoshi. I think you should lead us.

(Satoshi Yamane): Can't do that, Feng.

(Feng Lee): What?! Why not? You're clearly the best of us, and the most experienced!

(Satoshi Yamane): Yes, but it is not for me to lead. Thomas told me very specifically who he wanted as leader.

(Feng Lee): Who?

(Satoshi Yamane): You.

(Feng Lee): Me?

(Satoshi Yamane): Yes. He felt that you were the best one of us all to fill his shoes should he ever fall.

(Feng Lee): Wow, I just..... Okay, I'll do it. For Thomas!


Blade of the People raises one her chainsaw arms into the air, and Godzilla, Gamera, and the other Warmongers follow suit.


(Everyone): FOR THOMAS!
