  1. [April 30, 2168]
  2. [Jiran Island - Jiran Island Cluster]
  3. [Pacific Ocean]
  4. [Open Territory - G.U.D.]
  5.  
  6. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  7.  
  8. A line of destruction trails from the ocean into the very core of the former island paradise of Jiran Island; destroyed ships, wrecked military hardware, and scattered research equipment all line a rough path into the centre of the island. Oddly enough, there seem to be 2 sets of tracks leading into the island core, an oddity considering how almost all Kaiju movements have been accounted for to date; this is in addition to signs of battle damage from particle beam discharges and missile strikes.
  9.  
  10. An intense battle seems to be raging on in the distance.
  11.  
  12. In the cleared out valley where the petrified body of Godzilla was conjured forth by the children of Mothra, his disfigured and mutated daughter is fending off what looks to be a pair of white-coloured Warmongers. These 2 machine giants look identical to each other, sporting clean but older style segments of rugged armour plating around mechanical joints.
  13.  
  14. One of the Warmongers jumps onto Gojira's back and tries to press the thumbs on its three-fingered hands into her eyes; her bucking and flailing prevents it from doing anything more than barely keep its grip on her. The other Warmonger attempts to aim its missiles, but the mutated young monster bucks and spins too wildly for it to maintain its precision. Before either Warmonger can manage anything, Gojira manages to shake loose of the grip of the one on her back in one of its hands. The white machine attempts throw a punch with its now free hand at Gojira, but the daughter of Godzilla manages to catch it in her teeth; she then gives a hard tug, pulling her head downward and taking the entire Warmonger through this motion.
  15.  
  16. Gojira quickly releases her grip as she pulls down, causing the mechanical assailant to be flung at its partner.
  17.  
  18. Immediately after, the disfigured young Kaiju's dorsal plates and body become flush with purple atomic energy; she quickly releases an enormous stream of radioactive plasma vapour, engulfing both Warmongers entirely.
  19.  
  20. While she keeps up the pressure, Wei Ho and the survivors of the attack are clustered behind the surface outpost and watching the battle unfold; the expert biologist is busy waiting for someone to answer his COMMS hails.
  21.  
  22.  
  23. (Wei Ho): Come on, come on! Somebody pick up!
  24.  
  25. (C.D.F. Pvt.): Sorry, sir, but the COMMS are being partially jammed! Not as totally as when that black Warmonger attacked Mt. Fuji, but our signals aren't getting through to everyone!
  26.  
  27. (Wei Ho): Wait, I got one! Anna, Jiro, can you hear me?!
  28.  
  29.  
  30. The COMMS channel goes through, though there is visible static in the feed. Only a grainy and incomplete audio feed is coming through from the other side.
  31.  
  32.  
  33. (Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] Wei, I can barel-- What's going on?
  34.  
  35. (Wei Ho): I need to know if Jet Jaguar is on its way!
  36.  
  37. (Jiro Ifukube): [COMMS] Jet-- No, he's not yet--
  38.  
  39.  
  40. The signal cuts out before either party can finish their conversation.
  41.  
  42.  
  43. (Wei Ho): Dammit! Come on, big guy, your daughter needs you!
  44.  
  45.  
  46. Gojira can't maintain her plasma breath for much longer; unfortunately, the vapour's gradual weakening coincides with the 2 Warmongers making their counterattack. The 2 of them manage to fire off salvos of their anti-armour missiles directly into the young Godzillasaur's face, cutting off the plasma stream and causing Gojira to stumble backwards a bit.
  47.  
  48. Just as the mechanical assailants prepare to resume their assault, they suddenly start to convulse and flail around madly. Everyone present watches in shock as glowing blue organic growths start sprouting out from their bodies; these growths seem to be most prevalent in the areas of their bodies not covered in white hull plating.
  49.  
  50. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  51.  
  52. Drone Hybrid
  53.  
  54. [Height]: 160 metres
  55. [Weight]: 230,000 tons
  56.  
  57. [Appearance]: Overall body frame similar to that of Obsidian Fury, albeit with more theropod-styled leg structure; leek white hull plating with some hard and smooth edges, including a prominent collar around the neck and a core hatch similar to Obsidian Fury's; grey and glowing blue fleshy growths covering what once were exposed joints and other areas to maximize range of motion; large grey and glowing blue toes and fingers curl outwards from feet and hands; large hardened grey and blue spikes protruding from back and shoulders; bottom ridge of head is split into a set of mandibles with 2 pairs of 3 eyes above each one
  58.  
  59. [Observed Characteristics]: Highly aggressive and intelligent in combat; much stronger and more agile than previous Warmonger form; able to fire off anti-armour missiles/torpedoes from back; power core hatch can open up to launch a powerful particle beam
  60.  
  61. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  62.  
  63. The 2 Warmongers have mutated into some kind of hybrid of flesh and machine. They both roar and bellow at Gojira, who holds her ground as she roars back; neither side shows any sign of backing down from this fight. While the 3 giants are engaged in their standoff, the survivors continue to watch from the minor safety behind the surface outpost. Wei Ho uses his datapad to scan the hybrids; he manages to get a decent amount of data on their physiology and material makeup.
  64.  
  65.  
  66. (Wei Ho): What the.... those hybrids have genetic structures similar to P.E.M.F.s!
  67.  
  68. (Everyone): What?!
  69.  
  70. (Wei Ho): Where did these things even come from?
  71.  
  72.  
  73. One of the Drone Hybrids charges at Gojira; the 2 monsters lock hands and engage in a power struggle. They seem to be equally matched, though the mutated drone is is much more rowdy, snarling and hissing in its semi-mechanical vocalization. The other one lets out a howl, which seems to be a specific signal the other one.
  74.  
  75. It responds immediately, releasing its grip from Gojira's hands and backing off. The 2 hybrids then start to move off to both sides of the young Kaiju, though she manages to keep both eyes on them. All of a sudden, one of them leaps at Gojira; she quickly catches its neck in her hands and pushes it towards one of the cliff walls of the clearing. Just as she begins charging atomic energy, her attention is caught by a threatening snarl from behind her.
  76.  
  77. She turns her head and looks behind her; she's overcome with genuine fear when she sees that the other Drone Hybrid has climbed to the top of Godzilla's petrified body and has its power core hatch opened up directly at the back of the elder Godzillasaur's head. In this moment of hesitation, no one notices that a small crack has formed around on one of Godzilla's petrified dorsal plates.
