The pressure is being put on Gojira by the first prototype of Mechagodzilla; the mechanical doppelganger's ceaseless firepower prevents the disfigured monster from moving from her position. However, the mech unit's sensors begin to pick up an immense amount of radioactive photons being emitted from its quarry's back.

In conjunction with this increasing radiation, Gojira's lower jaw splits into two; the two newly formed mandibles lower and move outwards, becoming unhinged somewhat like the jaws of a snake.

Before the inevitable predicted burst of atomic energy from the mouth, Gojira emits a massive burst of purple-tinted nuclear Ki energy, the signature nuclear pulse of Godzillasaurs, that instantly disables Mechagodzilla's weapons fire and temporarily short-circuits its entire body. With her opponent briefly stunned, Gojira is free to unleash her power; the back of the deformed Godzillasaur's mouth glows the same purple colour as her back's dorsal plates.

Gojira lets loose a grey vapour that completely encompasses Mechagodzilla's body and the surroundings around the mech. Soon after, her eyes gloss over with silvery eye plates; this is followed by an instant ignition of the vapour, creating a massive makeshift pseudo flamethrower that engulfs Mechagodzilla entirely.

At first, it seems that the Bilusaludo prototype has been defeated.

All of a sudden, the flames begin to plume away from Mechagodzilla's body in a kind of vortex; a blue light can be partially made out within. Soon enough, the vortex grows in size, enough to actually make out what lies within.

Mechagodzilla stands within Gojira's constant spewing flames, engulfed in a blue energy barrier that's being generated by the spinning of the robotic prototype's head. After a few seconds of spinning, the robot's head ceases to spin, though its barrier is still up and running. Gojira is still breathing her ignited gas vapour at Mechagodzilla, but it's having no noticeable effect on the mech unit's defense. She keeps up the pressure, though, and eventually, her breath attack takes on a purplish hue and becomes more consistent and streamlined; it seems to have become similar to the plasma breath attack demonstrated by her father, Godzilla.

Once again, it doesn't pierce the barrier, though the energy wall is showing signs of light stress; this is demonstrated in some sparks being occasionally emitted from Mechagodzilla's body, as well as a few flickers in its barrier.

After a few more seconds, the plasma stream starts to thin out and concentrate, becoming a thin beam of pure purple energy. With the thinning of Gojira's breath attack, Mechagodzilla's barrier begins to strain heavily at the point of contact. Eventually, the barrier is broken entirely, dissipating in a bright flash; Gojira's atomic beam begins to burn into Mechagodzilla's chest, causing it to stumble backwards step by step.

The mutated young Godzillasaur slowly moves her head upward, moving her beam upwards. Before it reaches the mech's head, its eyes begin to glow a bright red; an immense burst of its rainbow-coloured eye lasers shoots out, connecting with Gojira's own beam weapon.

The two are now engaged in a powerful beam struggle. At first, Mechagodzilla manages to push back Gojira's atomic breath. However, once the clash between their energies reaches midway in terms of distance between the two, they appear to have come to a stalemate; neither monster is able to definitively overwhelm the other's attack. Although the clash shifts a little back and forth, overall, the two seem to be equally matched.

Both titans are clearly putting their all into this beam struggle; Mechagodzilla's body is sparking and shaking, and some of its hull lights begin to flicker on and off. Gojira, meanwhile, is emitting more heat and radiation from her back than ever before; a few more moments later, slightly smaller beams start emit from her back one by one. At first, this seems like a simple side-effect of her straining to maintain her end of the beam struggle. However, it's soon made clear that this isn't the case; the daughter of Godzilla ceases her atomic breath and spins her body around.

The sheer volume of energy beams cuts through Mechagodzilla's rainbow eye lasers and prevents it from counterattacking; the Bilusaludo mech is hit head on by most of the atomic rays.

Gojira continues to move her back to the left and right repeatedly, constantly blasting and scorching Mechagodzilla across its entire body without pause; the robotic defender is being hit too quickly in too many places, preventing it from mounting a defense.

After several salvos of atomic energy shear across Mechagodzilla's hull, the next motion manages to cleave clean through its armour plating and synthetic-muscular fibers. At first, the only visible damage markers present on the Mechagodzilla prototype unit are the scorch lines across its body. A few seconds later, however, the mechanical doppelganger starts to crumble to the ground in evenly sliced pieces.

With her opponent felled, Gojira roars loudly into the air.

Soon after, though, her body loses its purple glow and becomes more sluggish in its movements. Eventually, the colour fades from her exposed musculature and veins; Gojira falls into a kind of trance and stops moving entirely, though her eyes don't close and she's stil breathing.

Indeed, the deformed young Godzillasaur seems to have shut down like a nuclear reactor of some sort.

Unbeknownst to her or anyone else present at the moment, pure oxygen levels in the area have increased ever so slightly; there's also the faintest hints of movement detected amid the Death Lilly dotting the area.
