Colossus By Design: Season 2 - Log 38

[October 19, 2151]
[Jiran Island]
[Off the Japanese coast]

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

On the now barren island that was once the home of the king of the monsters, an enormous battle rages on.

Mobile Titan Force 1 and the Warmongers are currently engaging huge swathes of Legionaries. Meanwhile, Godzilla and the Legion Empress are in an evenly matched power struggle; the reptilian titan attempts to move past the Empress to get to the Centurion flower off in the distance.


(Lt. Rico Rasczak): [COMMS] GET THE MASTER KEY TO THE TARGET ZONE AT ANY COST!

(Karen Marais): UNDERSTOOD!


Union's Warrior brings up her hard-light shield and pushes through the all-encompassing swarm of drones; her teammates, Serizawa's Light and Tzar Bomba V2, follow her lead and stay behind her.

The Empress doesn't notice the three Warmongers making their way to her from behind, but Godzilla does; he releases his grip on the colony's queen's upper body appendages and slowly backs up. The Empress sees this maneuver as an insult to her power; the horn above her eyes splits in half, and bright blue plasma energy surges in between these halves.

Just as she's about to fire, the three Warmongers all slam into her from behind with all their might, knocking her aim off and causing the plasma beam to veer way off to the left; it destroys a portion of a small mountain in the process.

The Legion's Empress is now preoccupied with the Warmongers and no longer focusing her attention on Godzilla; the lumbering behemoth takes advantage of the freed up opportunity and moves toward the Centurion centrepiece of the colony. Unfortunately, the leader of the Legion detachment on Jiran Island is quick to notice his missing presence and sends out an electromagnetic wave through the area.

In response to the signal, the Legionaries abandon their engagement with MFT1 and focus their efforts on slowing down Godzilla. As they swarm all over his body, the king of the monsters roars loudly and is unable to move much due to the sheer numbers of the drones; all attempts to shake off the workers do little more than slightly thin out their numbers, which are then easily replaced. Even his nuclear pulses fail to achieve any positive effect and instead seem to actually empower the creatures, making movement even harder if not impossible.

MFT1 try to shoot off the Legionaries swarming all over Godzilla, but their numbers seem endless. The Warmongers aren't having much luck on their end either, as the Empress is laying down a powerful plasma beam from her split horn that forces the other two to take cover behind Union's Warrior's hard-light shield.

Everything seems hopeless, as even the relatively small detachment of Legion occupying the island proves capable of taking on even the best of the best that Earth has to offer.

All of a sudden, a loud shrieking from the clouds catches everyone's attention; all turn to look towards the sky.

From out of the stormy clouds, the golden image of the Shobijin's Mothra avatar swoops down and flies towards the battlefield; the Empress responds to this threat by sending out a signal to her Legionaries.

Large numbers of them break off from their task of slowing down Godzilla to rush this new target. However, this brief lull to carry out this action is more than enough; Union's Warrior, Tzar Bomba V2, and Serizawa's Light charge at the distracted Empress, putting all their might into pushing her back. Meanwhile, Godzilla starts to lumber forward, slower than normal but at a much faster pace than before; he continues to gain speed as Mobile Titan Force 1 helps cut down the Legionaries on his body.

As for the drones swarm the Shobijin's avatar, they suddenly pass through the image; it was never physical in the first place.

Godzilla is now within distance of the Centurion and fires a fully-powered atomic breath at the flower, completely destroying it in a single hit; the blast wave from the explosion blows off the Legionaries on his body. The Legion's Empress notices this turn of events and moves to make a play. Before she can act, Serizawa's Light slashes off one of the halves of her horn as Tzar Bomba V2 rips off of the other half.

The Empress's compound eyes stop emitting their blue glow, and she falls headfirst into the ground; the Legionaries drop like flies in quick succession.

With the situation a bit more less hectic now, Godzilla calmly walks over to Gamera's broken and comatose body. MFT1 proceeds to continue their original mission of carrying the Mana Derivation Complex to the fallen turtle; the Warmongers stand guard over the colony leader's body. The Shobijin, meanwhile, land on top of Gamera's upper shell and motion to everyone.

As Mobile Titan Force 1 places the Mana Derivation Complex next to Gamera's body, the Shobijin speak up.


(Shobijin): *telepathic* The time has come. You must activate the device, and the Sea King must breathe the flames beyond fire onto the guardian's body.

(Lt. Rasczak): If you say so, moth people.


As Lieutenant Rasczak turns on the device, Godzilla lets loose a stream of fiery blue plasma on Gamera's body; the Shobijin avatar now glows brighter than ever before.

The Warmongers watch from a distance as light beams up into the sky from the Shobijin. All of a sudden, the glow in the Legion Empress's compound eyes returns; they now possess a crimson red colour. She rises from the ground and lets out a metallic roar through the area that catches everyone's attention.
