  1. "Her energy....... her soul........ it can't be denied that there's something to her."

  3. "However, I REFUSE to believe she is the one."

  5. "It simply isn't possible. She isn't the core for the next bearer."

  7. "A mortal couldn't be born with that kind of potential. Not even one such as the reptile's progeny."

  19.  
  20. Gojira faces down five imposing and strange Mimetic Colossi, titanic machines that are quite clearly associated with the Mimetic Loyalists from looks alone. The young monster has already showcased some impressive combat intuition and instinct after easily dodging the Mimetics' assault and landing a solid blow against them, which has seeded some extra caution in the Colossi.
  21.  
  22. Their hard-light glows in different patterns in unison, apparently as a sort of unreadable form of communication.
  23.  
  24. Two of the Mimetic Colossi charge in directly from the front, two others split off to flank Jira from her sides, and the last circles around to hit the Godzillasaur from behind. Just before they reach her, they suddenly dematerialize into flying metal pieces and hard-light particles that fly up above her and form one giant cloud; they fly back down in a sort of drill-style spiral.
  25.  
  26. The young monster prodigy quickly channels energy, which is represented by her rocky dorsal plates being flush with purple light, and fires off a purple beam of atomic energy at the huge cloud. However, the cloud constantly splits apart into smaller groupings to skirt around the beam. Before the cloud can make contact, Jira unleashes a powerful pulse of energy that radiates out like a dome, stopping the Mimetics' dematerialized formation and scattering them around.
  27.  
  28. The pieces are floating around the area, seemingly inert, but Jira doesn't let her guard down.
  29.  
  30.  
  31. (Wei Ho): [COMMS] You know what's coming next, don't you?
  32.  
  33.  
  34. The daughter of Godzilla nods once in response to her Human support's rhetorical question.
  35.  
  36.  
  37. (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Then get it done. Some of the Guardian Sentinels will be there soon to support you.
  38.  
  39.  
  40. The metal pieces and hard-light particles suddenly become active again and fly at Jira from all directions. She manages to escape this attack by charging up her atomic breath and firing it off in the direction of Sendai Harbour, allowing its force to push her body backwards, deeper into the city, and out of the way of the Mimetics' assault.
  41.  
  42. However, the Mimetic Colossi's pieces easily course correct and follow Jira, reforming into the five machines gradually as they move towards the young monster.
  43.  
  44. Two of the Colossi have fully reformed and send a flurry of punches at the Godzillasaur, though she manages to effortlessly block each of their punches with precision and speed, a testament to her training by her Human companions over the years. Unfortunately, this proves to merely be a distraction to keep her attention away from the others; two others reform behind the three currently engaged in combat and land a simultaneous double kick to her back.
  45.  
  46. This takes her off-guard, allowing the two Mimetic Colossi that Jira was fighting to land a simultaneous double punch to her gut; she doubles over from the blows. The last Colossus readies its blade arms and leaps at her, eager to cut her up like they promised to do.
  47.  
  48. It seems that this was folly, though.
  49.  
  50. Jira quickly grabs the faces of the two Colossi in front of her and slams them down. She then uses this momentum, and her tail, to fling the other two Mimetics on her back off, straight into the last one that was about to pounce on her; the three collide in mid-air. The two Mimetics that were pinned down by the young monster's hands dematerialize into clouds of metal and hard-light to escape her grasp, but as they begin to reform behind her, she suddenly shoots an atomic breath at one of the scatterings that was close to completion. This scatters the pieces all over the ground and creates a large flash of light, indicating that this machine has been permanently destroyed.
  51.  
  52. The other one has been given enough time to fully rematerialize and is about to land a punch, but Jira easily catches it with one hand. As it's about to throw another one, the Godzillasaur grabs that arm with her other hand and throws it away, right into the three recovering Colossi.
  53.  
  54. Right after doing this, Jira charges up a huge atomic breath, much more so than her previous ones, and fires it off at one of the Mimetic Colossi that was getting up; the blast goes right through the Colossus's chest and blows it up in one fell swoop.
  55.  
  56. Now, only three remain. After seeing two of their comrades fall before this mighty foe, the remaining Mimetics have become much more cautious than before. Is it merely tactical intuition? Or is it possible..... that these machines feel fear?
  57.  
  58. The answer doesn't come, however, as a squad of Guardian Sentinels touches down in the city behind Jira to provide support.
  59.  
  60.  
  61. (G.S. Blade-6): Gojira, I'm Blade-6, and this is Fortress-30 and Artillery-8. We're here to provide support.
  62.  
  63.  
  64. The young monster nods to her new Guardian Sentinel allies before turning back to face her Mimetic opponents.
  65.  
  66. They were already outmatched before against the admittedly extremely powerful and skilled Gojira, but now they're also at a numerical disadvantage. The three of them briefly look to each other and communicate via their hard-light glow patterns, apparently weighing their options. After a few seconds, the three of them dematerialize into metal pieces and hard-light particles and fly off into the distance over the ocean.
  67.  
  68. Blade-6 is about to move to pursue, but Gojira puts her arm out to stop the machine defender.
  69.  
  70.  
  71. (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Jira has the right idea, Guardian Sentinels. Those Mimetic Colossi won't be leading us to their masters, so we won't be tracking them down for the time being. We're on the defensive right now.
  72.  
  73. (G.S. Blade-6): Copy that, Dr. Maximoff. Alright, then, Gojira....... Lead the way.
