  6. Amid the clouds, Gamera is hovering mid-air with Gojira on his back. He seems to be rather fidgety, as he keeps looking around wildly as the young Godzillasaur on his back looks on in confusion. The giant turtle is the only one who's hearing a voice in his mind, but what a voice it is. It's booming and intense, yet surprisingly elegant and well-mannered.

  9. "You finally hear me. That means the gates are opening ever so slightly."
  10.  
  11.  
  12. The Atlantean Keizer suddenly regains some sharp focus and lifts his straight to the heavens; he roars loudly, as if to convey a powerful message. Yet again, Gojira looks on with confusion, though she also shows signs of interest.

  15. "You will learn of who and what I am in good time. Go now, then. Find the plated-back one. Irys awaits."
  16.  
  17.  
  18. The voice in his head disappears almost as soon as he hears it. With its dissipation, Gamera snaps back to reality and immediately starts flying with great speed in the original direction he and Gojira were heading. The young monster princess is about to move her clawed hand to her comrade's face to get his attention, but she pulls it back.

  29. In the void of space between Earth and Luna, Mothra is preoccupied with a voice that only she hears; there are no communication channels open right now that would explain the voice in the monster goddess's mind. The remainders of Earth's mining fleets are a little distance away and trying to send communications hails to the giant moth, but to no avail.
  30.  
  31.  
  32. "I've spoken with the turtle, and now I speak to you."
  33.  
  34.  
  35. Mothra listens intently, though there's some clear nervousness in her facial expressions and antennae movements as she hears out this mysterious voice in her head; ironic, given the reaction her own telepathy tends to draw out from Humans and Synthetics who aren't acquainted with her.
  36.  
  37.  
  38. "You'll learn in time what I represent, but know this, insect."
  39.  
  40. "The old ones that you recognize as those that came before you?"
  41.  
  42. "They and I are one and the same. I am the Metarch of reality, and they are the Cores."
  43.  
  44.  
  45. After these parting words from the voice in Mothra's head, it disappears entirely. The Kaiju Keizer is left staring into empty space, still oblivious to the communications hails from the mining fleets; she then turns her attention to the Earth. She seems to be watching one of the corners of the African continent, no doubt sensing her ally and friend: Godzilla.

  57. Godzilla and Irys are still going at it strongly, matching one another blow for blow. Despite Irys having once dwarfed even the king of the monsters in sheer strength years ago, the two look to be about equal right now; this is a testament to Irys's decline and Godzilla's slow advancement.
  58.  
  59. The old Godzillasaur grabs the ends of his opponent's blade arms; both of them are struggling to dominate one another in this power struggle. However, Godzilla manages to gain enough of an upperhand to swing Irys through several buildings, including the one that Zoom and Bloody Mary were standing atop of; this particular building's destruction forces the black speedster to grab his mistress and speed away from the immediate vicinity of the battle.
  60.  
  61. After smashing Irys through every building in a circle around him, Godzilla releases his grip on his opponent, sending the Atlantean demon quite a distance away.
  62.  
  63. However, Irys manages to plant his feet back on the ground and slows his knockback by putting his blade arms out to his sides, allowing them to catch onto some buildings on either side of him and slow down his momentum. The second incarnation of the giant quickly recovers and starts running at his opponent with his blade arms and tendrils raised. As he closes the distance, Irys continually fires off short bursts of sonic beams from his tendrils to keep Godzilla pressured and prevent him from mounting an effective counterattack.
  64.  
  65. A large smoke cloud forms from the constant sonic beam blasts impacting Godzilla's crossed arms; Irys ceases firing soon after. The smoke is immediately cleared out by a large atomic breath attack.
  66.  
  67. However, the Atlantean titan flips over the beam and lands both feet into the Godzillasaur's chest before pushing off with immense force, sending Godzilla sliding backwards as he lands on his two feet with grace and precision. The two stare each other down after having given one another quite the beating; Zoom and Bloody Mary watch atop some collapsed buildings.
  68.  
  69.  
  70. (Zoom): They seem to be relative to one another in power.
  71.  
  72. (Mary Stoker): Indeed. The differences lie in how they apply that strength. But speaking of strength..... You feel that?
  73.  
  74. (Zoom): Yeah. The turtle and the young one are coming.
