Introduction

Two months ago after the defeat of Gigex the Impaler and Princess Morganna on the planet Frumuseţe, Sonic the Hedgehog and friends heard that Chris and Helen were going to have a baby. Shortly after their arrival Damian Dracul, Chris' old business rival, escaped from his incarceration to seek vengeance on Thorndyke. For weeks Damian sent his minions to terrorize Station Square until he completed his new mutagen and transformed himself into a giant dragonic monster. It was then that Chris revealed to Sonic and the others that Godzilla the legendary King of the Monsters was real and that his DNA must have been used by Damian to create his mutagen. It became clear that Godzilla could be their only hope for stopping Dracul. After journeying to Monster Island they befriended Little Godzilla who helped convince his father to help them. After taking them back to Station Square a fierce battle ensued between Godzilla and the mutant Damian. With the help of Sonic and his friends Godzilla emerged victorious and Damian was back behind bars. After the climatic battle Helen gave birth to twins, little Michael and Jasmine.

In the weeks that followed the existence of Godzilla and the other monsters of Monster Island which had until then been a guarded secret became public knowledge across the globe. Demand for the destruction of these monsters was halted only by the pleads of the scientists who studied these creatures, and the promise that the United Nations would construct a super weapon to be used if these creatures ever got out of line.

The goal of project Kiryu, as it was called by the U.N., was to build a robot that could fight Godzilla or any one of his fellow monsters. They called it Mechagodzilla.

Because of the success of his robot exo-skeletons against Dracul's dragon mutants, the United Nations appointed Chris to be the chief technician on the Kiryu project. With some help from Tails he was able to design the robot, and it has been under construction for weeks now. Meanwhile before returning home Sonic and the others have decided to stay a few weeks longer.

Chapter 1: Project Kiryu

"Come on Jasmine, eat your food."

Little baby Jasmine wasn't cooperating.

"Here let me try something." said Sonic.

Sonic took the spoon and held it before little Jasmine.

"Here comes the X-Wing space fighter flying through hyper-space loaded with proton torpedoes to blow up the Death Star!"

Jasmine started to giggle and Sonic managed to get the food in her mouth.

"Works every time."

"Well I'm not surprised Sonic." said Helen "Jasmine is crazy about you."

But little Michael spat his food out toward Knuckles.

"I'm starting to get the feeling he doesn't like me."

"Michael, stop being a little stinker!" said Helen.

Amy smelled something.

"Peeyeew! And speaking of stinky, I think someone needs their diaper changed." she said.

Suddenly the sound of an explosion came from the lab a few floors below.

"Jacob, what happened?"

(For those of you who haven't read my previous Sonic X fanfics already, Jacob is the artificial intelligence program that runs everything electronic in Chris and Helen's manor)

"I do believe the master and Tails ran into some difficulties with the prototype Maser cannon. But it should comfort you to know that neither of them was injured."

Chris and Tails had been busy developing the parts for Mechagodzilla for weeks. They were almost done and the machine was coming together.

"Why are you even building this thing? I thought Godzilla was our friend." said Cream.

"Chow."

"He is, but unfortunately a lot of people don't think he looks very friendly." said Tails.

"We're just building it to make people feel a little safer." said Chris.

"Maybe people would feel safer if you just explained to them that Godzilla isn't dangerous as long as he isn't provoked." said Cosmo.

"We've tried Cosmo, but some people just don't listen. Mechagodzilla is only to be used if the monsters escape from Monster Island. And frankly I don't think we really need to worry about that. There is a huge energy field generated around the island 24/7 meant to keep the monsters inside. And to this day we haven't had any breakouts."

"If Damian Dracul hadn't stolen Godzilla's DNA to make his dragon mutagen in the first place then the existence of Godzilla and all the other monsters of Monster Island would still be a secret." said Sonic.

"What did they end up doing with Damian after our last encounter with him anyway?" asked Tails.

"He was supposed to go to the electric chair, but then at the retrial he was found legally insane and was sentenced to life again instead. Ever since then he's been locked up in a secret government maximum security facility somewhere."

"What about his little girlfriend?" asked Amy.

During Damian's last stay in an international penitentiary he fell in love with his therapist Kamilla, and in some bizarre way she loved him in return. She engineered Damian's escape, and then helped him in his plot against Chris. During the final battle in Station Square she tried to use Damian's satellite laser cannon to help him kill Godzilla.

(She's like the Harley Quinn to his Joker)

"She was sentenced to life in a women's prison as his accomplice." said Chris.

"I still don't see how anyone could possibly fall in love with a person like Damian." said Sonic.

"That is mystery I don't think anyone can solve."

Weeks passed and both Chris and Tails worked diligently to complete Mechagodzilla. The U.N. was very clear; they wanted it to be the perfect fighting machine. So as days passed by Chris and Tails worked slowly from one part of the robot to the next, making sure everything to the smallest detail was working as it should. But the most difficult part wasn't building the creature's body, it was constructing the brain.

"It's brain?"

"Not everyone has the reflexes it will take to pilot Kiryu Cosmo, so Chris decided we would need to install an artificial intelligence C.P.U. which will be like the brain of the machine." said Tails.

"Kiryu?"

"That's its nickname. The U.N. named the project after the third fictional Mechagodzilla."

"What kind of stuff are you putting into its brain?"

"Just some things that will be important for it to remember out in the field. For example, when engaging Godzilla the safety zone is 43 degrees in the horizontal direction, and 81 degrees in the vertical direction from the rear. Or that the time of the radiation from his dorsal fins to the discharge of his heat beam is 1.26 seconds. It will be hard for a normal person to remember all that when they're actually looking to fight Godzilla, usually you'd have other things on your mind."

"Like trying to get out with your skin still attached?" joked Cosmo.

"Exactly, so Kiryu will be programmed to think on it's own to an extent, so the pilot will have less to worry about."

"Tails we both know if machines could think then none of us would be here."

Tails laughed, "Kiryu may be smart, but his free will is limited. It's the same kind of safeguards Chris used when he created Jacob."

"But what if it fell into the wrong hands?"

"The U.N. has come down pretty hard on that, for the time being Kiryu has been programmed so that only Chris can use him."
