  6.  
  7. In the short few days that Gojira has remained inactive in the city of Wakkanai, a defense perimeter has been set up to monitor and contain the disfigured Godzillasaur. Some of the defenses include artillery railguns, Maser Cannons, ULT Lasers, and another experimental Bilusaludo-derived addition: portable Markalite Cannons. These massive platforms are immobile compared to contemporary Maser and ULT Laser tanks, but they make up for this immobility with firepower derived directly from Mechagodzilla II's Mega-Buster variant.
  8.  
  9. Whether or not this will hold up remains to be seen.
  10.  
  11. Thus far, no movement has been observed from the petrified daughter of Godzilla. However, radiation readings have been steadily growing little by little over the past few days within the centre of her body, if the scans are to be believed, and radiating outwards; the radiation output is only barely being kept in check by Human and Bilusaludo engineered Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria.
  12.  
  13. All of a sudden, a massive spike in the energy readings surges throughout Gojira's body; this is coincided by a sudden flush of colour returning to her outward appearance. The young mutated monster's eyes pop open instantly, at first only able to blankly stare. Soon enough, they begin to sporadically look around and blink. Following this, her extremities start to slowly move; her tail begins to fall down from its originally erect petrified state, and her hands begin to open and close slowly. As well, her upper body starts to naturally slouch over and her mouth begins to shake loose and open up.
  14.  
  15. Now that her muscles are moving again, she lifts her head into the sky and roars loudly, announcing her renewed liveliness once more.
  16.  
  17. She immediately heads towards the hard-light perimeter set up around her, but she's slowed down somewhat by every single piece of artillery defense firing on her simultaneously; the railguns pepper her eyes liberally, while all of the Bilusaludo energy weapons focus fie on her middlemost dorsal plates. Despite not doing much superficial damage, her Ki starts to flare up visibly from the strain being put on it by the constant these so-called "anti-Kaiju" weapons.
  18.  
  19. Instead of being forced back, Gojira instead remains standing in place and starts to charge up atomic energy. Soon after, she lets loose a massive array of photon beams from her back. The initial volley destroys some of the gun emplacements in their direct path, and her precise radar-enhanced sweeping mops up the majority of the other artillery defenses.
  20.  
  21. With these annoyances dealt with, Gojira resumes her attempt to breach her prison; she butts he head against the hard-light and pushes hard, creating streaks of arcing electrical energy from the point of contact that signify intense strain on the wall's emitters. As she starts to force her way through, she's suddenly hit from behind by a surviving but damaged Markalite. This particular hit, while not inflicting any actual damage, has enraged Gojira enough to fire out a photon beam from her mouth directly at the platform, destroying it entirely. She then continues to push her way through the hard-light barrier, eventually punching straight through and deactivating this particular section.
  22.  
  23. The heir to the monster throne lumbers through unimpeded.

  36. In the training room built specifically for Evangelion Unit-01, the enigmatic mechanical humanoid continues to practice and hone its abilities. This time, the session is focused on honing close-quarters combat ability against peer opponents.
  37.  
  38. Unit-01 is currently practicing its martial arts through sparring with the skeletons of Gamera's predecessor prototypes. It seems that, with the Zeus A.I.'s help, the G.U.D. was able to procure these fossilized remains from Atlantis on the seafloor and get them moving again. In fact, this training greatly mirrors the kind that the Warmongers, Godzilla, and Gamera engaged in with these same animated skeletal frames during the panic that ensued many years ago with the rise of Bagan.
  39.  
  40. Meanwhile, Jiro Ifukube is monitoring his pet project's progress from the control room overlooking the training area.
  41.  
  42. An emergency hail pops up on the room's holographic screen; Jiro answers it immediately.
  43.  
  44.  
  45. (Jiro Ifukube): What is it, Anna?
  46.  
  47. (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Gojira's loose and headed your way! I'm en route now to join you!
  48.  
  49. (Jiro Ifukube): Alright, I'll prep Unit-01 for immediate duty.
  50.  
  51. (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Are you sure they're ready?
  52.  
  53. (Jiro Ifukube): I do. And besides, we can't let the Bilusaludo have their way with the little one, right? They'd just get it wrong.
  54.  
  55. (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] I'm placing my faith in you, Jiro.
  56.  
  57.  
  58. The emergency COMMS line cuts out, leaving Jiro staring at the screen. He walks over to the window overlooking the training room, looking on with pride at his latest and greatest endeavour.
  59.  
  60.  
  61. (Jiro Ifukube): Unit-01, please respond.
  62.  
  63.  
  64. Upon hearing the COMMS hail, Evan Unit-01 immediately ceases sparring with the Gamera prototypes; they also stop fighting and seem to become inanimate once more.
  65.  
  66.  
  67. (Unit-01): [COMMS] Sir?
  68.  
  69. (Jiro Ifukube): You're up. Time to bring her home once and for all.
  70.  
  71. (Unit-01): [COMMS] Understood. Subduing Gojira is our first and most important mission.
  72. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  73. In the primary hangar that was used to house Evangelion Unit-01 during its early development phase, engineers and drones are hard at work prepping the main field duty armour that the mechanoid will wear in its deployment against Gojira. However, one individual stands out among the rushing personnel: Metphies, the Exif high priest with a knack for being coy when it comes to the other humanoid races.
  74.  
  75. Metphies calmly walks down the catwalk as he communicates with his Gematron Crystal. He stops in the middle of the catwalk upon receiving a COMMS hail on his crystal and opens up the holographic projection from it.
  76.  
  77.  
  78. (Metphies): You know, you could at least wait until after Unit-01 has deployed.
  79.  
  80. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): [COMMS] Nonsense. I'd like to have my eyes and ears on the whole process.
  81.  
  82. (Metphies): Looking to gather data to improve your Mechagodzilla?
  83.  
  84. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): [COMMS] Partially. I'm also calling because I could use your personal help with the latest iteration of Mechagodzilla.
  85.  
  86. (Metphies): Is that so? This fabled "Heavy Mass Nanometal" I've heard murmurs about? Yes, I know about it, and I also know about how you roped Dr. Ho into aiding the Bilusaludo on it. What could I, a humble Exif priest, possibly have to add?
  87.  
  88. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): [COMMS] You know full well what you could add. Let's skip pleasantries and get down to it. Will you help or not?
  89.  
  90. (Metphies): Very well. But it'll have to wait until after Unit-01's performance. I want to personally observe the results.
