[Russian Mainland]

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

In the small Russian city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, daily life is going on as normal in the 22nd century.

However, a brewing storm masquerades a much more destructive pair of arrivals; the storm is severe enough that several of fishermen have been recalled back to the ports, though this is the least of the city's problems. No, what's more concerning are the Kaiju sirens blaring all around the coastal parts of the small metropolis.

Despite the lack of Kaiju attacks in this part of the world, the citizens of Yuzhno-Sahkalinsk know the drill and quickly make their way to underground shelters stationed sporadically across the city with the help of local C.D.F. divisions. The evacuation completes just in the nick of time, as well; a massive tidal wave washes ashore, leaving a large area of the metropolis absolutely flooded in seawater. In addition to the flooding, several C.D.F. naval vessels wash up on the coast and ports of Yuzhno-Sahkalinsk.

The telltale destructive entrance of a Godzillasaur gives it away: Gojira has arrived.

Her massive dark charcoal grey and red body can be seen silhouetted against the booming thunder and lightning. As she steps through the flooded parts of the Russian metropolis, her movements can be observed intently; she moves slowly yet methodically, with hardly any major or even minor extraneous movements, giving an unsettling and mechanical atmosphere to Gojira's gait.

After walking a few kilometers inland, the young Godzillasaur suddenly stops in her tracks. For a few moments, the only thing clearly active about Gojira are her dorsal plates and exposed red musculature starting to become flush with glowing purple atomic energy.

In an instant, Gojira lets loose a thin purple atomic beam into the sky; she seems to cut apart the storm clouds, though there is a clear precision to her seemingly random aiming. All of a sudden, Gojira's atomic breath strikes an object hidden in the clouds, sending it careening down to the ground; the struck-down object crashes into a plaza further inland, and the disfigured Godzillasaur lumbers towards the crash site.

Before the smoke and debris settles down, a bright pink beam of Micro-Oxygen flies out and impacts Gojira in the chest, knocking her down on her side.

Soon after, the dust cloud clears up; the devilish form of the Destroyer Imago emerges, injured but still very much alive. It appears that one of its wings was clipped, though the wound collapses into lesser Aggregates that reform the wing back to its normal state. With its wing fully repaired, the demonic Imago takes flight once more; Gojira recovers shortly after and gets back up to her feet.

Before the daughter of Godzilla can fire off her atomic breath again, the flying Destroyer form lets loose its Micro-Oxygen Beam once again, this time into the back of Gojira's neck; she's a bit more braced and prepared for this attack, though the immense power of Micro-Oxygen still causes her to stumble forward a bit. The Destroyer Imago continues to fly around and pepper the disfigured young Godzillasaur with attacks from multiple angles and with great frequency, preventing her from mounting a counterattack.

All of a sudden, missiles fly in from out of nowhere and impact the Destroyer Imago, creating large explosions.

This unknown assault seems to have driven off the aggregate creature, leaving Gojira alone on the battlefield.

Gojira turns around towards the direction where the missiles came from; the source of the missiles soon becomes clear.

A large mechanical titan touches down on the ground in front of the mutated Godzillasaur heir; it apparently flew in while Gojira and the Destroyer Imago were caught in their own battle. Gojira roars loudly at the newcomer, signalling her intent clearly; soon after, she starts to charge up her atomic energy. Despite this charge-up time, the mechanical intruder doesn't make any attempt to interrupt or counter its opponent's clearly telegraphed attack.

Gojira unleashes a huge stream of ignited vapour, completely engulfing the mech and several city blocks in flames. A few moments later, the stream of flames becomes tinted purple and turns into a stream of purple plasma. After nearly half a minute of continuous atomic breath, Gojira lets up and ceases her attack.

The smoke clears out, leaving the city damaged but the mech completely free of damage; Gojira growls under her breath after seeing her attack had no effect. Suddenly, the mechanical titan lets loose an orange burst of plasma-like energy from what looks like a camera lens in its abdominal area; the force from the blast causes Gojira to nearly fall backwards, though she manages to catch herself before she completely falters.


(Mechagodzilla II): Mechagodzilla II thermal diffusion laminate modification to Titanium-S plating has successfully defused approximately 98% of atomic breath attack.

(Cmdr. Galu-gu): [COMMS] Excellent. Mechagodzilla II, you're clear to engage. Take her alive if possible..... but don't hesitate if live capture is out of the realm of possibility.

(Mechagodzilla II): Understood.

Mechagodzilla II

[Height]: 160 meters
[Length]: 160 meters
[Weight]: 260,000 tons

[Appearance]: Basic physical frame is extremely similar to previous Mechagodzilla iteration; has a much smoother and more rounded hull construction compared to Mechagodzilla Mk. I with no additional decorations popping out from the main body; has a more squarish jaw that's slightly smaller in proportion with the head compared to previous iteration; has somewhat of a "sculpted Human-like chest"; possesses no nostrils; has a shorter tail compared to previous iteration; much cleaner and shinier silver sheen to its hull compared to previous iteration; has more exhaust ports peppered around its body compared to previous iteration

[Observed Characteristics]: Titanium-S armour plating is infused with a layer of Bilusaludo-derived thermal diffusion laminate that can absorb certain levels of heat energy, including the signature atomic breath of Godzillasaurs; possesses a "Mega Buster"-grade ULT laser that's rainbow-coloured and fired from the mouth, though this attack is prone to quick overheating; can shoot orange lasers from its eyes; has a drilling anchor imbedded in each arm that can deliver powerful electrical discharges upon entry into a target; has a missile pod on each shoulder that can rapid-fire paralyzer missiles, though these are contact-detonation rather than armour-piercing; a "Plasma Grenade" diffusion cannon is located in its abdomen that can transfer heat energy that impacts its armour plating and convert it into a powerful plasma beam; has a less compact pressurized servos and artificial musculature compared to previous iteration, reducing close-quarters combat options
