Above the once great city that served as the crown jewel of the United States of America, a literal storm of Gyaos is forming; its eye houses their leader, Irys Absolute, a being with godly power possibly equal to that of Gamera Absolute himself.

As he hovers, Irys looks towards the distance and notices the coming threat.

Just a few kilometers away, flying from the direction of the rising sun, is Gamera; his eyes glow positively emerald. On the Atlantean monster's back, a sky-blue streak can be made out; Blade of the People is holding onto the back of his shell, though with great difficulty.


(Feng Lee): GODDAMMIT, SLOW DOWN!!!!


In response to this retort, Gamera Absolute shoots a dirty look back to Blade of the People.


(Feng Lee): Right, right.... no complaining when riding a god. Alright, now.....


Blade of the People begins to stand up on top of Gamera's upper shell, again with difficulty. The breakneck speeds at which the giant turtle is flying at don't help with the Warmonger's balance, though she manages to stay on; she now takes up a position similar to a professional surfer.


(Feng Lee): Alright, everyone..... on my signal, reveal yourselves!


Irys Absolute sees his rival approaching and flies through his loyal horde of Gyaos to engage him in aerial combat. Just before the two gods make contact, the guardian monster begins to spin rapidly, causing Blade of the People to be spun out of control and eventually flung off entirely, straight into the horde of Gyaos.

Just as it looks as though Blade of the People is about to fall down, her jet wings activate; instead of gracefully soaring back upwards, she clumsily flies all over the place and crashes into several Gyaos. This lack of control over her flight proves to be useful enough, providing a decent distraction to keep the Gyaos' attention away from the one-on-one combat between Irys and Gamera.

Blade of the People manages to gain some control over her jet wings and readies her drill hands and scatter cannons; she begins boring and blasting her way through as many of the Gyaos as possible.

Soon after, in the Hudson River below, several large submersible vessels surface; they're joined by Serizawa's Light, Union's Warrior, Tzar Bomba V2, and Godzilla and his daughter Jira. The other Warmongers are now all equipped with jet wings of their own and fly up into the eye of the storm to join their team leader. Meanwhile, Godzilla and Jira blast their atomic breaths into the sky at the horde; the submarine fleet readies its payload and fires off salvos of experimental anti-Ki missiles.

Several dozen Gyaos are killed by the minute; the horde is unable to organize itself anywhere near as effectively as when they were being guided by Irys Absolute directly.

While the two main combatants' dogfight ascends into the upper atmosphere of the planet, the Warmongers and naval forces continue to slowly thin out the horde of Gyaos; the Warmongers fly through the swarm, using many combination attacks playing to the strengths of each individual. Despite these efforts, the numbers of Gyaos seem endless, and they're slowly learning how to more effectively utilize their numerical advantage to overrun the dedicated tactics of the Warmongers; they concentrate so many sonic beams on them once they've been corralled into a tight formation that they send their foes falling to the Hudson River below.

With the aerial fight now over, the swarm converges on the resistance below. Godzilla, Jira, Blade of the People, Union's Warrior, Tzar Bomba V2, and Serizawa's Light all prepare for one last showdown.


(Karen Marais): So what now?

(Feng Lee): We stall for time, at least long enough for Gamera to finish off Irys.

(Sasha Kalashnikov): And if we lose?

(Feng Lee): Then we go down swinging.


As the Warmongers, the naval fleet, and the king of the monsters and his young ward look at each other, they prepare for one final push. Meanwhile, the dogfight between Gamera and Irys Absolute has ascended into the stratosphere; neither gives the other any quarter. They're far from any possible sight back on the Earth's surface.
