  1. [March 21, 2166]
  2. [Miagani Island]
  3. [Off the Canadian coast]
  4. [Atlantic Ocean]
  5.  
  6. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  7.  
  8. Miagani Island. A particularly proud achievement of Barney "The Dark Knight" Wayne, a highly influential member of the executive board of Goliath Super-National Bank.
  9.  
  10. The gigantic simulation arena, set up to train the Guardian Sentinels that defend humanity to this day, also serves a hidden purpose: building up the combat experience of the daughter of Godzilla, Gojira. It's an odd naming convention, seeing as how her name was the actual translation of the king of the monsters' name from its native language.
  11.  
  12. On the day after her recent training session, the titular prodigal daughter has arrived once more, making a flashy entrance from the ocean as usual. However, she isn't alone.
  13.  
  14. No, see, today, the original has come as well. The king of the monsters himself. Godzilla.
  15.  
  16. Despite how large of a wave Gojira has washed ashore, her father still makes it all look positively minuscule in comparison; his is much messier, breaking off large portions of the outer coastal lining. It's quite fortunate, then, that the Global Union of Divisions has opted to maintain its naval fleets several kilometers off the island's shallows.
  17.  
  18. After Gojira's bout of training yesterday, the arena was left quite wrecked, requiring crews of Guardian Sentinels to repair the larger equipment. As the two titanic reptiles lumber onto the centre stage, the defender units are quick to clear the area. As done before, Dr. Anna Maximoff speaks to the two monsters from the control tower overlooking the entire complex.
  19.  
  20.  
  21. (Dr. Maximoff): [COMMS] Welcome, you two! How're my favourite mutant dinosaurs?
  22.  
  23.  
  24. Godzilla looks directly at the control tower, with a rather unamused scowl. Although..... it's hard to tell when he's specifically scowling, given that his face is in an almost constant scowling expression anyways.
  25.  
  26.  
  27. (Dr. Maximoff): [COMMS] Alright, FINE! Highly evolved reptilian offshoot! Anyways, I'm sorry to inform you, big girl, but the arena is closed for now. Seems you did a number on the projectors. AGAIN.
  28.  
  29.  
  30. Gojira turns her eyes to the control tower now; her tongue ever so slightly sticks out from her mouth in an expression that can only be described as innocently goofy, contrary to her fearsome visage when engaged in combat. After hearing Dr. Maximoff's answer, the monster king lumbers over to a clearing in the middle of a patch of forest, on the outskirts of the simulation area.
  31.  
  32. As is befitting of the lion of the giant monster ecosystem, Godzilla lies down in the clearing and almost instantly falls asleep; his daughter walks up to her father's dozing body and nudges him in the abdomen with her foot, to no avail.
  33.  
  34. This seems to annoy her somewhat, but she quickly shrugs it off and decides to head up back to the VR simulation arena. As she does, a small private jet flies overhead and lands on the airstrip behind the control tower.
  35.  
  36. Dr. Wei Ho steps off the jet, wearing sunglasses that are quite uncharacteristic for his elderly image; he comes to greet him is Dr. Maximoff herself. They stare at each other for a brief moment; they break into smiles soon after and embrace each other tightly. The two engage in some small talk as they walk down the airstrip towards the control tower.
  37.  
  38.  
  39. (Anna Maximoff): So, how're the Androids coming along?
  40.  
  41. (Wei Ho): Not so great, unfortunately.
  42.  
  43. (Anna Maximoff): Let me guess.....
  44.  
  45. (Both Anna & Wei): Problems with the bonding between tissue and endoskeleton. JINX!
  46.  
  47.  
  48. The two colleagues laugh it up as they walk together. Meanwhile, Gojira is busy watching the Guardian Sentinels repairing the VR simulation equipment, being careful not to cause any accidents in the work space. This is much harder than one might expect for the offspring of a giant highly-evolved animal of nearly unparalleled power.
  49.  
  50.  
  51. (Anna Maximoff): Well, it's nice of you to stop by.
  52.  
  53. (Wei Ho): It was nice to see you again.
  54.  
  55. (Anna Maximoff): Let me guess again, though....... you're here on business?
  56.  
  57. (Wei Ho): Guilty. Hargrove sent me to find out if there's more we can learn by studying little Jira's--
  58.  
  59. (Anna Maximoff): UH UH UH! She goes by "Gojira", now.
  60.  
  61. (Wei Ho): She'll always be bubbly little Jira to me, but okay. Jacob thinks that we have yet to unlock all the secrets that her genetics hold. She's very special, you know.
  62.  
  63. (Anna Maximoff): Believe me....... I know.
  64.  
  65.  
  66. The two scientists watch Gojira from a distance, admiring her rapid growth over the past few years and her surprising amount of humanity. Even the security team hired to escort the two to the control tower have to pause and chuckle at the little one getting herself into trouble, knocking over some holographic projection towers and being quite startled despite the high cost of maintenance for the equipment making such accidents quite a headache for the financial staff.
  67.  
  68.  
  69. (Anna Maximoff): That one....... that one has more potential than we even realize.
