  9. After Commander Galu-gu received a notification from Metphies, the pace of work on the first near-complete Mechagodzilla unit has increased dramatically to meet the request for aid by the C.D.F. division in Shizuoka Prefecture in dealing with a rogue Kaiju. Although more engineering touchups would be beneficial, the pressing need to deal with this threat has warranted an early field test.
  10.  
  11. One of the chief engineers rushes up to the Bilusaludo military officer on the catwalk as he assesses Mechagodzilla's condition on his datapad.
  12.  
  13.  
  14. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): Are we clear to go?
  15.  
  16. (Chief Engineer): Systems could use a bit of tuneup after this deployment, but they'll hold up.
  17.  
  18. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): What about the A.I. control setup?
  19.  
  20. (Chief Engineer): The integrated Synthetic A.I. in tandem with the Gematron Crystal looks promising. You know, that Synthetic that was integrated is actually one of my old frien--
  21.  
  22. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): Good. Prepare for launch.
  23.  
  24.  
  25. Commander Galu-gu gives his datapad to the engineer and walks off to the control room; the engineer simply follows behind.
  26.  
  27. In the control room directly across from Mechagodzilla's 'eyes', engineers and military staff from the ranks of the G.U.D. and the Bilusaludo are preparing to launch the Godzillasaur-inspired mech. On the holographic monitoring screens, everything seems to read green across the board; coinciding with the positive readouts are Mechagodzilla's eyes lighting up bright yellow, signifying that the defense unit is now active and functioning.
  28.  
  29. As the platform the mech is resting on rises up, silo doors open up one by one above it. After several doors open up, the open skies can now be seen.
  30.  
  31.  
  32. (Cmdr. Galu-gu): Mechagodzilla Mark I.... LAUNCH!
  33.  
  34.  
  35. On the commander's signal, RE-Pulsar thrusters activate at the bottom of Mechagodzilla's feet and the end of its tail. Before anyone knows it, the mechanical defender has flown out of the complex.
  36.  
  37. Although everyone is quite cheerful with this successful launch, the Bilusaludo in particular seem especially proud.

  41. "Mechagodzilla (Mark I)"
  42.  
  43. [Height]: 160 meters
  44. [Length]: 190 meters
  45. [Weight]: 250,000 tons
  46.  
  47. [Appearance]: Basic physical frame is somewhat similar to a Godzillasaur; has a clear and somewhat primitive-looking robotic aesthetic with metallic plating covering every part of the main body that's been crudely bolted together; dorsal plates are shorter and less jagged, losing the classic maple-leaf shape of traditional Godzillasaurs; head is more angular and pointed than a traditional Godzillasaur with prominent nostril tubing, yellow-visored eyes, a decorative spike sitting atop, and red circular discs on the sides
  48.  
  49. [Observed Characteristics]: Can fire rainbow-coloured beams from its eyes; hands can fire either contact-explosive or armor-piercing finger missiles from its hands that are continually replaced by internal fabricators; has a chest-integrated and orange-tinted Maser cannon; can generate a blue energy forcefield around its body by rotating its head rapidly; has limited CQC and martial arts experience programmed in

  61. In the city of Shizuoka, the strange Kaiju believed to be a Godzillasaur of some kind continues to waddle through the streets, causing moderate but noticeable damage to the skyscrapers around it. Despite its ungainly movement, the beast is steadily moving deeper and deeper into the metroplex.
  62.  
  63. The Civil Defense Force, meanwhile, has been keeping tabs on it, monitoring its progress and tracking its movements to relay to central command.
  64.  
  65. Soon enough, everyone's attention is drawn to the skies above, including that of the Kaiju. A brilliant metal giant soars in at high speeds from the summit of Mount Fuji. Before anyone knows it, the mechanical prototype is now hovering over the street a few hundred feet away from where the invader is standing; it slowly descends, touching down with grace and precision.
  66.  
  67. Mechagodzilla has arrived.
  68.  
  69. The robotic doppelganger looks down at the small creature a short distance away and lets loose a mechanical roar as a sort of warning to its quarry.
  70.  
  71.  
  72. (C.D.F. Central): [COMMS] Mechagodzilla prototype unit, the local area has been evacuated. You are clear to engage and subdue.
  73.  
  74.  
  75. After being given the all-clear signal by local authorities, Mechagodzilla points its right hand at the unknown Kaiju and fires off one of its finger missiles; it impacts the ground slightly in front of the creature and detonates, sending a clear signal that the mech isn't messing around. In response, the animal briefly rights itself up from its hunched posture; it suddenly falls back down on the ground and stops moving soon after, collapsing several buildings on itself.
  76.  
  77. From the perspective of Mechagodzilla, its sensors read the Kaiju's body as inert. Just as it begins to lower its hand, however, there are sudden signs of activity within the creature's body; more specifically, the mech's scans are relaying hyperactive genetic mutation from the animal.
  78.  
  79. These readings are soon followed by the creature's skin starting to rumble and contort in addition to taking on a darker reddish-brown colouration. Following these distortions in its skin, the beast begins to stand back up on its hind legs, which also contort and audibly snap, becoming straighter and more theropod-like in structure; this change in leg structure is compounded by the animal's arms beginning to grow larger and more developed, with small fingered hands now forming. During all of this, the buildings that collapsed on top of the Kaiju have been absorbed piece by piece, apparently fueling its rapid growth rate with raw resources.
  80.  
  81. After reaching a size several times larger than its previous state, the creature suddenly rears its head into the sky and roars loudly.
