  6. Within the Atlantean bunker being occupied by the Axis Alliance, Vandal Savage is monitoring a direct feed to Obsidian Fury's readings, such as its vitals and Ki-conversion systems. He seems to be impressed at its performance so far, especially after witnessing its visual feed from its brief bout of combat against the reconnaissance C.D.F. fleet that was recorded hours ago. He's so focused on this data, in fact, that he completely fails to notice that a messenger scout has been trying to get his attention.
  7.  
  8.  
  9. (Vandal Savage): Yes, what is it?
  10.  
  11. (Scout): Dr. Savage, the Destroyer has made landfall in the South American Wasteland. The local G.U.D. outpost has been destroyed, and our scouts in the area have moved in to secure the area and scrub any outgoing data that could immediately reveal his location.
  12.  
  13. (Vandal Savage): Good, good. Keep me posted, then.
  14.  
  15.  
  16. The de facto leader of the Axis Alliance's research efforts continues on his way; he now monitors simulations for repeating the procedure that gave life to Obsidian Fury with the experimental Warmonger offshoot of Synthetic-based Drones. Yet again, he fails to notice that the messenger still has more to say. It takes the scout yanking Dr. Savage on the shoulder and turning him around to get his attention in full.
  17.  
  18.  
  19. (Vandal Savage): What is it, scout? What more do you have to say to pull me from my work?
  20.  
  21. (Scout): It's not just the Destroyer in South America, now. Irys is back.
  22.  
  23.  
  24. At the mention of Irys's name, all work in the Atlantean hangar bay halts; all eyes are now on Vandal Savage and the messenger. The good doctor himself is now hyper focused on what the scout just told him, and all this attention makes her extremely nervous.
  25.  
  26.  
  27. (Vandal Savage): ......You're absolutely sure?
  28.  
  29. (Scout): Yes..... yes sir, I am. He's petrified, but, uhh...... otherwise intact.
  30.  
  31. (Vandal Savage): I assume that impact analysis would suggest he showed up shortly after the reappearance of Godzilla and Gamera, correct?
  32.  
  33. (Scout): Yes sir.
  34.  
  35.  
  36. Vandal Savage takes a moment to pace a little bit and think over what he was just told. Eventually, he looks around at everyone in the facility.
  37.  
  38.  
  39. (Vandal Savage): Send a message to our forces who've secured Irys's body, and make sure Mary Stoker knows about this so that she can join them. They're to attempt to revive him by any means possible. I want Obsidian Fury sent to Mount Fuji to immediately destroy the Bilusaludo's Mechagodzillas. Leave nothing left to rebuild from.
  40.  
  41. (Everyone): YES SIR!
  42.  
  43.  
  44. After Dr. Savage gives his piece, everyone immediately gets back to work, more active than before. Meanwhile, the mentor to the deceased Jay Garrick storms off to the exit of the hangar bay.

  59. Within the mostly Bilusaludo-occupied Mt. Fuji research centre, engineers are busy at work finishing up repairs and tuning up Mechagodzilla II. Kiryu is situated next to it in a separate launch platform, though its maintenance is much less intensive and more measured due to the more sensitive and experimental features this more advanced mech unit possesses.
  60.  
  61. Overseeing this operation is none other than Commander Galu-gu, the most prominent figurehead and central engineer for the entire Mechagodzilla project. While he looks over the control systems for the second Mechagodzilla prototype, General Dolu-do walks up to his subordinate.
  62.  
  63.  
  64. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): General Dolu-do, sir!
  65.  
  66. (Gnl. Dolu-do): At ease, commander. Status on Kiryu?
  67.  
  68. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): We're still waiting on the refined neural-pathway work from Dr. Ho, but in terms of structural integrity, Kiryu is combat ready. Mechagodzilla II is also almost fully repaired and has been upgraded to address the overheating issue.
  69.  
  70. (Gnl. Dolu-do): Good. What about the Heavy Mass Nanometal? How's our progress on our ultimate project?
  71.  
  72. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): Still slow. The nanobot formation is still in its infancy stage. We've yet to create a bonding process that allows smooth transition between fully-formed physical structures and individual swarm mentality.
  73.  
  74. (Gnl. Dolu-do): Alright, keep working on---
  75.  
  76.  
  77. A massive thud shakes the part of the facility that the Bilusaludo general and commander are in, knocking everyone off balance. Before anyone can properly regain their footing, another shockwave shakes the hangar bay, followed by several more. Eventually, the ceiling starts to crack and crumble, with large pieces being shaken off by the force of whatever is affecting the structural integrity of the research complex's hangar bay. All of a sudden, a large explosion erupts through the Titanium-S-lined ceiling, creating an opening where sunlight manages to clearly shine through.
  78.  
  79.  
  80. (Gnl. Dolu-do): What the hell is hitting us?! Why haven't we gotten any COMMS traffic?!
  81.  
  82. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): Something's jamming most incoming and outgoing long-range signals! We only have visual and movement-based scanning data!
  83.  
  84. (Gnl. Dolu-do): Then get me a damn visual feed! I want to know who's firing!
  85.  
  86.  
  87. The head Mechagodzilla engineer inputs some commands on his arm's holographic interface and brings up a hologram linked to a live video feed of the harbour situated closest to Mt. Fuji. On this feed is a tall, black-clad Jaeger firing missiles from shoulder-integrated launchers directly at the area where the first explosion ripped through the bedrock and Titanium-S bunker plating.
  88.  
  89.  
  90. (Gnl. Dolu-do): Get Mechagodzilla II ready to drive that damn thing off!
