One week later.

In the partially destroyed UNKCC Tokyo base a man in a while lab coat was seen walking down a metal balcony floor in an underground hangar in the base. The hangar was dimly lit though. The atmosphere in the base was almost a gunmetal grey.

The man in the lab coat walked along the hangar balcony. To his right he was approaching a massive white angular mecha unit. To his left reinforced concrete wass and steel doors. He was going up to the mecha unit however awaiting to give the mechanical beast his next orders. On his name tag the man was labeled as "Dr. Eli Baline".

In one of the bases offices still intact after the battle in Tokyo another man in olive green fatigues, of which he prefered, was in front of a massive wall display sitting down in an angular desk chair navy blue in color. The display had a keyboard glowing with white leds illuminating them while the glowing display screen dimly lit the room a blue-white color.

The man was "Scot Osborn" the head of the UNKCC organization. He was mainly bald with a grey mustache, wrinkled forehead, and aged face.

He was typing on the keys in a professional, and yet quick manner. It was an organization to organization chat request in a diplomatic manner. A call from the leading kaiju defence experts of the world to the peacekeeping organization the GDI. He was making a chat request to General Scott O'Grady for important business.

At that time, the elderly American Caucasian general was sitting by his desk, smoking his cigar. His black beret with the Lt. General rank was folded and wrapped up on his table. He saw the chat request from Osborn and quickly press the flashing green button on his desktop screen and push the call to a secured line of the GDI. "Speaking." He said a cold, deadpan tone that is void of any semblance of surprises or emotion commonly associated with a situation full of uncertainty.

Scot Osborn cleared his throat before speaking to the man. His image and facial video would be seen by O'Grady. "This is Scot Osborn of the UNKCC. I have a request to make to the GDI." He would then send O'Grady a picture of Shiryu Rex. It was all that was needed for O'Grady to know what he wanted, but he continued anyways. "A week ago i you have probably seen our unit Shiryu "Corsair" Rex was heavily crippled in a fight after Orion's Sword had hijacked him. Sullivan Palmer of the United nations has now labeled Shiryu to a quarantine position. I believe the GDI can help us."

O'Grady sighed disappointingly, he was well aware of the dilemma Baline and Osborn were in. But he himself has his own hands full with the reorganization of the GDI from the highly ineffectual GDF, its previous incarnation. He rubbed his temple and with his head slumped down before he replied, grumbling while he was at it. "Osborn, the GDI is currently still halfway through with its reorganization. I can't stress to you busy we are to deal with your precarious situation." His voice heighten, almost like a scolding from an elder to his ill-informed younger. "However," He softened his tone, "seeing as how the situation is entirely out of Rex's talons and your control from the get go. I suppose I could book him a shelter, off the book of course." He said, grabbing his ashtray and rubbed the head of his cigar into it.

Scot Osborn sighed himself. It seemed both organizations were in a bit of pickle. He tapped his desk before giving the elder a firm nod of his head. "We will be accompanying Shiryu while he is he is being held in the GDI base. Eli Baline, my colleague, and arguably his main creator will be joining with me." He frowned though and grumbled. "As well as Sullivan Palmer… Surprisingly."

"No surprises for me." He sighed, sounding like a dull man who has seen the end of time itself, down to the tiniest of details. O'Grady tapped his fingers together and his facial expression stretched in a thinking manner. He was deep in thought about the precautions he must take when getting Rex from the Mainland to the GDI's Mother Base. "I'm putting the entire island on satellite blackout 24/7. Communication both in and out will have to be monitored on the secured lines. Get Rex here ASAP before the polit-chickens decided to have their claws sharpened with him. Here are your instructions so listen carefully." O'Grady twirled his pen between his fingers as he observed Scot grabbing his recorder.

Scot turned on his recorder getting ready to pay and replay the instructions to himself even when he slept knowing this was a high security protocol. He nodded to O'Grady "Alright what are my orders? How do I get Rex there?" His face seemed determined to complete this mission, and complete it perfectly without error.

"First of all," O'Grady began, clearing his throat, "minimize Rex's contact and exposure to anybody outside of the maintenance and ground crew. Second, keep Eli close to you and lower Sullivan's intel declassification level to ensure total secrecy of transporting Rex. I don't trust Palmer to keep classified intel in tight lips, especially his. Third, make sure that you prepare a rundown of need to know pointers for the ground crew in Mother Base so we can make his accommodation easier. Get that? Or do I have to send someone from orbit with express delivery of my instructions?" He concluded with a rhetorical question.

Soct took in each of the details, and orders given to him. He made a slight laugh seeing O'Grady's sense of humor. "I got it." He turned the display to a city wide planning plan and alert system incase of approaching kaiju. To conceal Shiryu from being moved from Tokyo to the Monster island Mother Base. He made a fake alert to sound of city Klaxon warning sirens.

In the city a mere week after it was partially destroyed by Orion, Jr and Ray alike construction crews picked up the pieces of the destroyed city moving rubble out of streets. Citizens who lived in the city went back to find what little belongings they could salvage from the wreckage. But, the UNKCC sirens went off alerting citizen to go by normal evacuation procedure. Citizen looked up and around the city hearing the sirens going quickly from a confused murmur to panicked yelling.

Of course no kaiju was present. This was ironically the most efficient method of getting people to clear out. Scot then typed down critical need to know information of Shiryu labeling various details such as diet, waste management, showering, and sleeping schedule. As for the classification of Shiryu Scot made sure to keep the blue prints, and pictures of Shiryu's birth and construction under sealed lips, and a closed book.

He then took out a smartphone with Eli's number on speed dial. Eli's phone began to ring with the ring tone of Australian band "Men At Work- Overkill". Eli sighed. "Here we go" He picked up tapping on the smart phone's dimly glowing screen. "Scot? Did he agree?" Where Scot was sitting he was nodding despite the fact Eli couldn't see him. "Yes Eli. Shiryu is clear to move to the GDI Mother Base. Don't ask me why they can't just call it Monster Island, but tell Shiryu of his new mission. Over" Eli nodded and hung up. He walked up to a podium with another display showing Rex's current state

"OFFLINE"

Eli switched it to the online position with a quick keystroke, and almost flick of the wrist. He sighed and then stood back waiting for Shiryu to wake up.

Everything was black for Rex before his display lit up flickering. The first thing he saw with the concrete wall in the base. Eli sighed again. "Uh down here Shiryu" Shiryu then lowered his head down to the miniscule man. Eli didn't feel threatened at all knowing what Shiryu was despite his massive size difference. Eli cleared his throat, and placed his hand behind his back. "Well it looks like we found you a new home Rex. You're going to the GDI base on Monster Island though I'm pretty sure the GDI crew on the island will like you to refer it to Mother Base."

Shiryu didn't make a sound, but it was clear he knew exactly of what Eli was saying understanding the man's language compared to his own Godzillian one. Shiryu made one slow nod to Eli. Eli smiled at him. "Good night Rex. I'll see you in the morning." Shiryu took the order as his time to go to sleep. As such he bowed his head, and flickered his optic off turning light blue to black.

By morning, the city was cleared of citizens, and Shiryu was lifted out of his hangar by UNKCC techs in an observatory filled with computer tables much like a control room. The elevator he was one lifted him to the surface where he stood a good 100 meters tall. Though above him were two UNKCC herons. They were massive jets light grey in color, and rounded in the front of the cockpit. From the fuselage they lowered thick metal cables to attach to ports on Shiryu's metal body. He was still off , but crew in the heron flicked a switch to have ports locked on the side of his neck, upper chest, hips, and upper tail open. The two massive jets lowered themselves as well letting the magnetic pull of the cables attach themselves to Shiryu's ports. Once attached he was lifted into the air slowly and steadily.

Meanwhile Eli Baline and Scot Osborn were both walking on top of the base's roof towards a helipad with an awaiting helo marked with a blue UNGCC logo. Scot scoffed seeing the old logo. "Must be one of the older helos we haven't gotten to yet." Eli nodded seeing the nostalgic logo. "Maybe the pilot doesn't want it changed at all."

Despite this they loaded themselves in the helo, strapped themselves into dark grey buckles on lighter grey seats. An outside crew member slid the helicopter's door shut, and signaled for the pilot to take off. Once done the helo and herons flew side by side headed towards Monster Island. Though on board the helo Eli could not stop looking at Shiryu. It was an odd remorseful, and pitiful expression towards Rex. He kept his stare going as they flew over the blue ocean.

Out in the ocean, lies a secluded tropical island named Monster Island, the GDI Mother Base stood on what was once a sandy white beach, now converted into a massive military base with administrative buildings, hangars for mecha units, runway for aircrafts of all kinds, including a dock and a barrack adjacent to it. On the paved concrete ground of the GDI base, was Lt. General Scott O'Grady in his usual Digital ACU camouflage uniform wearing a pair of shades with his signature black beret. He paced back and forth at the landing pad for new mecha units with his eyes on the digital watch. "What's taking them so long?" He mumbled, soon his question was answered by the sounds of Heron's jet engines and he let out a sigh of relief. "Right on time." He said, smoking his Cuban Cigar.

The GDI troops and safety crew direct traffic clear of the landing pad as the Herons approached with Shiryu Rex in tow, they came to a hover and gently lower the giant down on the ground, once his feet have made contact with the paved surface, the cables detach and let him move about as he was ordered to. "Get the rookie out to the range to calibrate his weapon. Just so we're clear he's not rusty." O'Grady said in his usual graveling tone and stood back, leaning his back against his command MRAP and wait for Rex to move out as per direction.

The UNKCC helo had landed with Scot and Eli on an observatory to watch Shiryu's demonstration knowing full well what he was capable of. The helo's blades came to a slow stop while Eli and Scot walked up to a guard rail on the observatory looking to their left at Shiryu who was still off.

Then out of the silence Shiryu turned on with his optics flickering blue. What stunned the GDI there was when Shiryu took a breath of air in, and then breathed out showing he could breath. He saw his new orders, and knew he had to follow them. He lifted his right angular leg moving it forwards, and then stomping on the ground making a thunderous clang while his talons dug into the concrete. He then continued walking to the firing range where on the observatory Eli and Scot watched anxiously. "Eli get in touch with him. Show what he can do. Start with least destructive to most destructive." Eli nodded and pulled out a thin black folded headset to communicate with Shiryu. Though this was only a one way communication, verbally at least. Shiryu could at least speak through non verbal communication including body language and hand gestures.

Eli radioed into Shiryu "Okay rex, move up to that… Uh… Well I believe that's a firing range. All I see are concrete blocks and some old vehicles." On the firing rage itself were massive concrete blocks light grey, almost, white in color shaped like rectangular prisms. Also on the range were old beaten up junkyard salvage cars, tanks, and trucks. Salvaged only be destroyed by high tech weaponry here. Old beat up ones that now served no purpose, but to be destroyed here.

On the range however, there was an albino MechaGodzilla with sapphire blue optics, its appearance is the same as Kiryu, being a new model in the MFS line of MechaGodzilla. Strangely enough, the GDI troops station on the island often refer to it as a "Her". "Fire oral AZC. Fire!" Said the fire control officer on the PA and the mecha unit open her mouth firing a streak of blue energy at the rectangular concrete block, freezing it within 2 minutes of being struck by the beam and frozen for good. She slams her tail to the ground, causing a slight tremor that render the block falling apart into pieces. "Cease fire! Good, a new record in 2 minutes." Said the Fire control officer as he click the timer watch on his neck.

"Maybe next time, I should calculate the nanoseconds before firing if that doesn't stomp on your schedule." She said in a playful, calm, soft and melodious tone. Girain, was her name, and the men on the base respect and fear her. They know she was the one who keeps their presence on the island safe, but she could still kill them if push comes to shove.

Standing next to her was a purple Mecha unit with green eyes, the twin sister Giryia, she fired a barrage of micro missile from her mounted pack and obliterated a row of old scrapped tanks. "How's that for a demonstration?" Giryia asked, her voice is noticably much deeper than Girain, with an almost raspy like sound to it.

"This is a firing range, not a demo derby. You two clear the shooting lanes and let the new guy comes in!" The FCO ordered them via the PA, they stood back from the lanes and Girain immediately catch a glimpse of who was the new face coming towards her. Shiryu assume their previously held position and began his demonstration.

Shiryu walked up the firing range arms lowered and to his sides. He glared at the firing range. In his hud he scanned over the various object on it highlighting them a flickering blue identifying specs such as: height, weight, material, temperature, and even suggested method of destruction.

Eli then went back online ot his one way conversation with Shiryu. "Okay Shiryu, show them your pistol. Fire at what you feel like firing at." Shiryu could be heard sighing before he reached his right hand for his thigh. Suddenly part of the thigh opened up to an interior compartment where a massive white pistol with the same green pentagonal highlights on the gun holstered in a silver device held the gun firmly.

Shiryu placed his hand onto the gun, and he lifted it to point at the firing range. Eli watched this and awaited to give shiryu the order to fire. "Okay in 3...2...1. Fire" Shiryu then fired his pistol at the concret blocks putting surface holes into them, black and burnt in color. The pistol itself was a high powered laser. Each time it fired in made a loud "Pew" sound and gave off a green muzzle flash.

He then pointed the weapon at the vehicles on the firing range unleashing his pistol's power onto them. The pistol caused the vehicle's windows to shatter, and for their frames to twist and bend out of proportion ripping pieces of car or truck away from the main body of the vehicles. Some of the impacted by the force were sent rolling away side to side getting their roofs crushed as they rolled.

He then moved on to fire the pistol at the tanks. With each shot the tank sparked outwards with yellow-white sparks. Though as each tank was hit so to did their armor bend inwards like hail would dent a car. However this hail would have to be 100 times bigger.

Shiryu then sighed out looking at the damages. Scot Osborn smiled, and patted Eli on the shoulder. "Scot alright Eli move onto the shoulder mounted cannon." Eli nodded, and nervously gulped. "Y-yes sir. Shiryu put the gun away, and go to the cannon."

Shiryu spun the pistol on his right index finger before opening his thigh compartment again to replace the pistol much like Robocop. On his right shoulder a black colored single barreled cannon rose and rotated into position. It clicked when i locked into firing position. Shiryu then fired the weapon at the concrete blocks penetrating them making a massive hole in the blocks. Pieces and shards of concrete were sent through the exit hole as well as white colored dust. Debris was sent flying outwards from the impact.

"Lemme guess, you guys train him by feeding him action movies from the 80s? I'm sorely disappointed by the lack of one liners." O'Grady said as he observe the range and Rex's demonstration with his military binoculars.

However, SHiryu had only just begun. The cannon fired at a fairly decent rate, and what was odd for it was the destruction. It was controlled, and never looked like too much was damaged while directing the damages to a certain location only. Pieces of the blocks were blown away before he fired onto more vehicles. This time though when he fired onto the vehicles they were blown into pieces sending debris upwards, and even made a crater where the vehicles used to be damaging the ground. A white pickup was targeted, and instantly shattered into pieces unrecognizable.

With each shot of the cannon it recoiled, but Shiryu was never thrown off balance ever. Infact his shoulder barely made any reaction to the recoil. Eli marveled at what shiryu was doing. "Okay that's good for now. Let's onto something more destructive."

Watching the fireworks display by Rex with both their eyes wide open, Girain's jaw was wide open with the ferocity, accuracy of Rex's arsenal. "Nobody told me that I'm about to be replaced." She choked out disbelievingly. A kaiju wouldn't be able to keep its accuracy for long when fighting an enemy like other Kaijus or humans. However, here she can see the defiance of Rex display via his performance on the range.

"Well at least, you're not the only one being replaced." Giryia sarcastically added.

Shiryu at this lowered his shoulder cannon awaiting further orders from his two superiors. Eli then bit his lip thinking if he really wanted to demonstrate the rest. Scot nodded though. "Do it." Eli looked back and nodded. "Alright. Shiryu prepare a shot of the hyper maser."

Shiryu's chest plate opened revealing a taser like device, but several times bigger. It was gun metal gray in color. But soon that gunmetal color was replaced by a red glow increasing in brightness, and intensity making a loud whining sound as the laser charged up. Once fully charged Shiryu fired a beam cutting into and melting concrete the remaining blocks. When the beam hit a concrete block red sparks would fly backwards while the ray melted the block. Shiryu turned his body to the right leaving a glowing orange cut in the block from the beam's intense heat. As he moved to the right he created a glowing orange trench in the ground of the firing range. Any vehicles caught in the fire melted destroyed instantly. He moved the beam upwards by shifting his chest upwards creating a vertical trench while his beam melted a tank with such force the melted armor flew away.

Shiryu then closed his chest, and sighed out. Eli gulped knowing what was coming next "Alright Rex. It's time we test out your nuclear abilities. You know what that means. Right?..." Shiryu in response slowly nodded himself understanding the order clearly.

His mouth armor opened up. For the moment it was a dark black color, but looking closely white teeth could be seen. The short blackness in his mouth soon ended and fast. A blue light glew in his mouth from the back of the throat until most of the mouth was illuminated blue in color. On his back and under his armor a pulsing sound as fast as machine gun fire was heard from his back beneath the armor as well as a bassey humming noise. Anyone not familiar to Shiryu, and his story would have thought this was an oral AZ cannon made to freeze opposing threats.

This was quickly dismissed however when Shiryu fired out a bright blue shaft of light from his mouth. On contact with the concrete blocks the beam obliterated the concrete sending hot smoking shards, and debris of the former concrete block outwards, and in random directions. Dust from the block floated into the air, but he wasn't finished yet with this volley of breath. He moved his head to the right vaporizing junk vehicles from his breath attack. While he moved the breath a glowing orange trench formed following behind the blue shaft of light while more grey dust shot up into the air. As for the junk tanks the breath was so strong that it shattered their armor like glass melting them as well, but sending pieces of tanks flying randomly.

When the assault was over Shiryu closed his mouth. Steam from Shiryu's saliva poured through the seams in mouth armor through the seems. His mouth was hot as the sun, but he didn't seem to be affected by it. All he did was breath in and out sighing almost as if he was bored. Bored by his incredible ability the atomic breath.

O'Grady himself was apparently grinning at the sight of Rex's performance, his grin however did not last forever, it fades away almost as fast as it was formed. He turned to Scot and Eli and give the two patting on their backs. "Good job, you guys invented a war machine that can finally fired atomic breath for real instead of cookie cutter copies." He cackled in joy, a rare sight for a general rendered stone cold by warfare.

Scot Osborn nodded and applauded Eli for his control of Rex still. Scot then sighed out looking at the smoking and dusty firing range. Eli looked at it just as awed as the first time he saw Shiryu's breath. Eli huffed out. "Well is there anything else to test on? We need to make sure his mobility still works properly" Scot huffed as well looking at the firing range, and shaking his head as a hard negative. "Do you see anything out there that even looks remotely mobile?" Eli then shook his own head.

"How about the albino one? Unit Girain is by far the most nimble of the MFS line. Due to her skeleton being assisted by an exoskeleton to increase movement and fluidity. This improves her agility and keep her in the game when mobility and speed is the concern." O'Grady pointed to Girain, who has been observing Rex the whole time and she herself was quite impressed as well as unnerved by how cold he is on the range.

Scot looked at the feminine mech unit, and scratched his chin. He then nodded. "Alright, but tell Shiryu nothing too lethal here. This is only a practice run." Eli himself gulped. "Uh yeah, but maybe it's Girain you may need to worry about." He looked at Girain's form nervously seeing she was as well agile, but tankey in appearance.

Eli though sighed, and radioed back to Shiryu. "Okay you're going up against an MFS Unit now. A powerful one. This is a Rex unit vs an MFS Unit. I want a clean fight from you Rex. Nothing too deadly, or damaging. No projectile or ranged attacks.

Shiryu then turned to face Girain for the first real time noticing her since he got here. He looked back at Eli tilting his head before glancing back at Girain.

O'Grady grabbed a headset from the rack, he puts it on his head and tune the frequency to Girain's 140.78 and call her. From her Sapphire blue HUD, she can see an incoming call box flashing on the top left side of her HUD. Once clicked on and open it, O'Grady was instructing her on what to do. "Girain, drop your guns and engage Rex in CQC, remember this is a practice battle to keep the guy on his toes so no dirty trick."

She nodded, understanding his order as she look up at the observation post of O'Grady and Eli. "Are there anything else I need to keep in mind sir?" She asked, Eli and Scot can hear her voice streaming into the OP.

"Yes you do. Wipe the floor with him. Happy hunting." O'Grady puts the headset down and observe as Girain dismount her wrist mounted railguns, then her shoulder missile packs are dismounted and placed on the ground, freeing her mobility up to combat Rex.

She cocked her head to the sides, making a cracking sound. Girain enter the fray circling around Rex, with her eyes fixed firmly on him with her left hand held low to defense and right hand balled into a fist in front of Rex's face, ready to fight. She was apparently taunting him to come at her first. "Come and get me." She snarled.

Shiryu as she did these actions had been standing robotically still the entire time. In fact the taunting made him have no reaction or even a growl. No sound escaped his body, or frame.

Suddenly though in a flash he lowered and struck his right shin into Girain's chest on her left side. The movement was fast enough if she blinked she may have missed it. He then while she was dazed threw his left fist turning it in the air as it throttled to strike Girain in the front of her chest knocking her back.

Girain staggered back a bit from his attack, she quickly swung her right leg to sweep his left leg and throw him off balance before following it up with a right fist landing vertically on his chest, slamming him firmly on the ground.

Shiryu didn't allow himself to make any sounds lest he make it appear he was weak. Air was forced out of his lungs by Girain's assault on him. When he hit the ground on his back his dorsal plates sliced into the ground like hot knife through butter. Though he wasn't finished. He raised himself up throwing his chest upwards and making a roll forwards before landing on his feet talons digging to stop him before his swiped quickly at Girain's own legs to sweep her off her feet.

She fell to the ground, but refusing to give up, she rolled on the dirt and swipe her tail across his face before she got back up to her feet and push Rex backwards a bit. Her hands grabbed hold of his chest firmly and throw him in the air and slam him on his stomach.

Shiryu groaned being hit in the stomach before falling to his chest, and having more air knock out of his chest. Though in that short groan Girain heard something familiar in his voice. Though he got up, dashed to the left with a sideways strafe before front flipping forwards landing on his feet. He kicked Girain in the right side of her chest before making a chop to the back of her neck using his right hand to daze her.

Girain was dazed by the chop as she stumbled around aimlessly, although it wasn't a severely damaging blow on her. She knew that her foe could very much hold his own and was winning the stalemate. "You're pretty good." She snickered. Girain would then dashed up to Rex threw a punch towards his chest left side and tries to land the hit at him and throwing him to the ground.

Shiryu again landed on the ground landing this time on his side. He however lashed out a kick to Girain's chest while he was still down. He then leapt up dashed to Girain's right punching her twice in the side of her chest before placing one hand on the back of her neck, and one on her gut to flip her to her back. He then placed his right foot on her chest, but never declaring victory for himself.

Laying on the her back, defeated but ultimately she knew, she was defeated with honor. She panted like him after exhausting her energy from the combat session. Her HUD allows her to measure Rex's force output on her chest and his overall combat effectiveness in CQC alone is above her own. But mathematic calculations weren't important when it comes to decided what is the winning factor of the battles.

O'Grady brought the microphone of the PA to his mouth and spoke into it. "Training session completed." He signed off the airwave and put it back on the podium. "What do you think of that Eli?" He asked the nerdy scientist.

Eli cleared his throat and raised his eyebrows for a moment. He breathed out, and wiped his forehead of sweat "Well… That was intense. Hopefully the two of them didn't injured during this run." He looked at the mecha kaiju, and saw Shiryu shaking his head out still retaining silence. Shiryu after shaking his head went back to standing absolutely still. Robotic, and emotionless.

"O'Grady trust me Eli, this is nothing compare to the real thing they have to put up with both mentally and physically. Now let's show them to their hangar. The other important assets for Rex's maintenance is still coming in, they'll be here by tomorrow, so for now we those two will have to share the hangar." He concluded, keeping the lit cigar in his mouth and smoke a bit before showing Scot Osborn and Eli Baline out to the hangar area.

Girain at that moment was getting back up on her feet and gather her weapons, she felt the fighting with Rex, though mock as it was, she felt something in him, a determination and focused drive to accomplish something and it was no computer programming that fuel it. "You're okay?" Asked her twin sister.

"Yes I'm alright. That new mecha unit knows how to restraint himself but still give me a run for my money." She remarked, then the twins would then moving back to their hangar with Rex. Girain frequently make glances at him, taking notes of Rex's capability.

"What is it? Is he troubling you?" Giryia asked, she was not the cheerful and optimistic of the twins but she was still the caring and reasonable figure when it comes to one's well being.

"No, it's just there's something about him. Let's just keep going." Girain said, Giryia nodded and went back to the GDI's base along the paved road, the three mechas soon stood on a pad that took them down to the underground hangar, it was surprisingly spacious compared to the MFS hangar the Japanese built for Kiryu in the past, in fact the three of them can easily walk around freely and lay down on their backs without much problem.

On an observation room, O'Grady was seen entering with Eli and Scot following him, the room was filled with various control boards to administer maintenance, repair and modifications to the mechas available within the hangar. "This is where the magic happens. From here you can see the living space of the mecha units. Think of it as their barrack." Said O'Grady. In front of the window was a hangar about the size of 4 football fields combined.

Scot himself walked up to the glass window looking into the hangar. He nodded his approval looking at it. "Well its definitely a lot larger than the UNKCC Tokyo hangar. It's not even at full capacity it looks like." He then looked at his watch and frowned about something. He grumbled as well. He looked up back at O'Grady. "Is there a place we can upload everything you need to know about Rex into a main frame or database?"

O'Grady taps a few button and a glass barrier pops up, revealing a handprint scanner, he planted his palm on the scanner and let the machine make a quick scan of his palm lines, with the clearance found, the computer screen flashed a green message and open a USB access port. "Here you go. Tight security is our priority Numero Uno. One slip up and this base is under siege 24/7 by both the press and hostile entities such as Orion and the Brotherhood of Saradia." The General said, he observed the three mechas settling in inside the barracks like a grizzled veteran training his recruits on their first day into the barracks.

Scot nodded seeing the device though he grumbled again seeing who was late to this meeting. "Damn that… hmm… I would give you a device to give you Shiryu's information, but it appears as if one of my other colleagues is late on arrival. In the meantime I'll have Eli show you documentation on how to handle a Rex unit." He then turned back to Eli who was sitting at a wood table looking around marveling the GDI's advanced technology. Scot let out a huffed laugh. "Uh Eli? You there son?" Eli shook his head out, and coughed. "Oh right." He pulled out a black tablet labeling everything Shiryu needed to survive. Basically how to care for a Rex Unit.

Eli walked up and handed O'Grady information about Shiryu's biology, and maintenance for him. The tablet listed a feeding procedure showing a diagram of a device similar to a gas pump that was to enter Shiryu's mouth and have pureed food filled into his body. The food in question was a natural selection of Godzillian dietary behaviors discovered by Monarch. Basically baby food like pureed fish product. Other objects of interest were labeling Shiryu waste management, and showering to get his body disinfected, and cleaned off of foreign materials.

O'Grady inspect the diagrams with great interest, he was stroking his chin with his left hand before rubbing his temple with it, marveling the complexity of Rex and his diet as well as the needed maintenance. "Well good news is the feeding mechanism and cleaning facility on Mother Base has been prepared for Rex. However, the cleaning facility is very much a basic line up since we expect him to share it with the other mecha units already on site. Specialized upgrade packages will arrive by tomorrow to set him up straight." O'Grady then handed the tablet back to Eli and press a button that sounded an orange alarm, the klaxon sounds off with orange light bounce on and off the wall catching the mecha's attention.

"Bath time. Guess the general is trying to be gracious to our guest." Giryia said, huffing at the notion she was holding.

"Or maybe the dirt back at the range was kicked up a bit too much today." Girain remarked, she got off of her back and walked into a section of the hangar where the three mecha were soon showered with high pressure water in a sterilized environment. Girain purred slightly at the feeling of having water coursing down her amphibious body and wash off the dirt and grimes from her muscle masses.

Shiryu though stood absolutely still in the shower. Water blasted off of his white armor, and flowed like a waterfall off of his body. Why he was so quiet was still unknown. However, he showed signs of life raising his arms occasionally to let water jets get into hard to reach areas. Basically a car wash for giant kaiju robots. He lowered his arms, and then let himself get covered in soap to sterilize the germs and bacteria gather on his frame. Funnily enough it bubbled and foamed up on his metallic body. Girain and Giryia, both lathered up as well with soap jets before all 3 of them were scrubbed down with rotating sponge devices, and abrasive grime removers much like a car wash as well. Most ironic thing about this was the soap that had new car smell to it.

Girain and Giryia purred and relax themselves after the wash was over, the albino Mecha however took the most notice of Rex, with her curiosity driving her to end the awkward silent. "Uh, do you have a name?" She asked awkwardly, Girain herself felt rather nervous at interacting with a cold and imposing machine that displays little signs of life.

Shiryu looked at Girain with an unmoving emotionless face. Though when he spoke it was a startling shock for Girain for who he sounded identical to "Shiryu "Corsair" Rex. Serial number 510-2578-890." The voice that came from Shiryu sounded identical to Heisei Gojira Jr's. The resident king of the monsters on the island and one of Girain's close family members. Now the question was who was Shiryu?

"Umm, Multipurpose Fighting System Type-4 Girain callsign Athena. Serial number 7815-1920-2012." She spelt out her serial number and official military designations awkwardly to him, her first instinct was to keep her distance from him knowing that the similar voice to Jr is a tell tale sign of unsettling mystery. "So do they just call you Rex?" She asked again, making her way back to the hangar's main area with him next to her.

Shiryu nodded slowly to her question. "Affirmative" That's all he said however. Even when he was talking he was silent. Everything he said was short phrases and sentences it seems, and all he had said was a yes, and his name. It was so surreal how desensitized he was. Emotionless, quiet, and seemingly cold.

The cold and emotionless aura he displays render Girain discouraged from further interaction with him, for now at least, there was something about him that is driving her to understand but at the same time, she was consistently put off by the robotic and desensitized nature he displays, once she has returned to the main hangar area, she noticed the new faces inside the observation deck and approached the deck to better observe them close up. An action that draws no objection from O'Grady he stood still like a stoic statue and wait for the reaction of Eli and Scot.

Eli backed up nervously seeing Girain walk into a personal bubble that even Eli had made for Shiryu, but he smiled and waved at her gulping nervously. "Du-uh…. Uhhh… H-ello ma'ma." Scot Osborn smiled as well though seeing her as an ally unit. Though he kept his silence only nodding to her trusting her. Eli chuckled almost at the back of the room "Well she seems friendly. A bit too close for interaction, and a bit strong, but friendly regardless."

"General, who are these men and how come I've not being briefed on their arrival along with the arrival of the new unit called Rex?" She asked, to which O'Grady promptly switched on the PA system of the hangar and reply.

"These guys are HVIs from the UNKCC, the nerdy one in the back is Eli Baline, you could say he's the surrogate father of Rex. This here is Scot Osborn, aka the Green Goblin by another name. There's supposed to be a third HVI coming in but the guy is late for some reasons." He calmly replied as if nothing had happened.

Girain nodded, signaling her comprehension of what the general said. "Understood sir. So what can you two brief me about Rex? He seems rather… unnerving to say the least." she asked via the PA system inside the room.

"My advice, play nice with him. Their advice, well I'm giving them the reign." O'Grady then gave Scot and Eli and mic to let them fill Girain in on the information needed to interact with Rex.

Eli nervously walked up to the microphone, and tapped on the device though accidentally causing it to make a high pitch ringing sound making both him, Scot, and O'Grady wince. Scot grumbled and fixed the microphone by adjusting the neck of it, and taking Eli's cell phone out of his lab coat pocket while looking at him wide eyed. "Eli, you're really going to need to learn not to do that every time you're in front of an open microphone…" Eli only nodded

Eli then spoke into the microphone himself. "G-Good evening Girain. As you just heard I am Dr. Eli Baline. Biologist for the UNKCC as well as geneticist. As for working with Shiryu. Well the only other mech unit he had been with so far is ARGUS who doesn't have an AI in him. However, Shiryu is very different from an MFS unit. Reasons I'm told are being classified for the time being while he stays, but as he develops here more information will be given about him. As for why he is quite… Well… That's just who he is. Maybe almost a mute. Give it time. He's possibly nervous operating under a different organization, in a different setting, with new faces round him." Shiryu stood in the corner of the hangar again silent looking forwards almost like everything around him didn't exist.

Girain took a glance behind her and saw Rex stood in the corner. One look and she felt the curiosity to understand him and why does he sound like Jr, an idea pops into her head and she swivel her face back to Eli and Scot. "Sir, since I'm aware of the Island's layout the most, maybe I should take Rex out on patrol with me tomorrow. If that is fine with you of course?" She asked.

"Oh sure, listen to her." Said Giryia who was laying on her back looking at the sealing, the purple mecha was also the deadpan and lady with a dry sense of humor. "She's the top girl scout around here. Let her take the tin can of yours out on a walk and he'll be oriented to the layout and operations around here in no time." She finished, earning a frown from Girain, the level headed one.

Eli was stunned by Giryia's tone and sense of humor. He then just realized how robotic Shiryu is. He looked at Scot stunned she was allowed to talk in that tone while scot shrugged the action off. Eli lowered back down to the microphone. "Ahem. W-Well I'm sure no harm will be done taking him out on patrol." Scot then went to the microphone next and spoke in a stern tone. "Word of advice however. Keep him away from Godzilla Jr. They don't exactly have the best history, and if fucking Sullivan would hurry up…. Nevermind. Just keep your eyes peeled out for trouble and keep him in line." He then nodded back to Eli who winced recalling the two's history. "Right. Well. Yes. I discourage interaction between him and Jr. Though I'll allow you to take him for a walk."

Girain nodded, "Affirmative on that one. I'll have a word with Rex there to let him know that he'll be up on patrol with me." She would then turn around and head over to Rex, her footsteps were loud, making clanking sounds on the metal floor, disturbing Giryia and prevent her from having a good night sleep. "Now Rex, listen carefully, tomorrow, 08:00 you'll come with me on patrol around the island. Understood?" She looked at him, trying to keep her serious military tone with professionalism in mind, the kind of style that Rex would understand. But it all ends up looking more like she was acting as a big sister ordering Rex to go with her from one place to another.

Shiryu actually looked at her face dead straight on optic to optic. He tilted his head slowly seemingly confused by both why another mecha was talking to him, and the odd order he was given. "Affirmative?" He then looked back forwards, and up at the observatory where the others were watching him still. Eli waved a hand, but as well O'Grady saw Shiryu staring at humans for the first time.

"Trust me Eli, you have no idea what Girain can do to Rex, she just doesn't show it yet." O'Grady mumbled, he sat down on his commander seat and observe as Girain sat down next to Rex and offering him to sit down next to her, working slowly and patiently to read his character. "Do you know why she is call the Mother of Peace on this island?" He asked.

Eli tilted his head to O'Grady curious to know this answer. He looked at Girain inviting Rex to sit down, and though it was an odd gesture. He had never been asked by anyone to relax before. Though in the hangar Shiryu looked down at Girain confused by this request as he tilted his head again. Eli sighed and looked back at O'Grady. "Why do they call her the mother of peace?"

"You see, she has a way to convince Kaijus captured by us over the years to come and settle for long on the Island, thus, lowering world tension and disorder. Killing would not do you any good, but diplomacy can take you a long way and she does this very well." O'Grady lighted a cigar offer Eli to smoke along. Girain gestured for him sit down next to her and relax himself since they were not in any rush or haste, her hand gave his thigh a quick stroke downward to insist him to sit down.

Eli watched as she tenderly instructed Shiryu of what to do. He smiled a bit, but when a cigar was offered Eli gagged almost."Oh no I'm not a smoker. A drinker yes sometimes, but uh…" He demonstrated as he pulled out a silver vaporiser from his pocket filled with red liquid. "Uh… cherry?"

Shiryu felt his thigh stroked, and walked to the side a little, but looked down at the floor. However, when it came to sitting it seems he hadn't done it much in his life as he lowered himself multiple times awkwardly, and slowly. He got back up frequently trying to process how to sit again before he settled on laying on his side to rest. He lowered himself to lay on his right arm, and laying his head on the floor.

O'Grady graciously accepted the liquor offer of Eli saying, "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker. Can't have a cigar without a good drink." Girain at that moment, saw just how socially awkward he was, she knew deep down, he wouldn't do well on Monster Island since the place demands them to have firm grasp on diplomacy just as well as combat and he is lacking one. Her instinct kicks in and lay down on her side behind him, her hands reached out and hug him into her tender embrace with her palms settled on his chest and chest wrapped her tail in parallel to his own. "See that?" O'Grady pointed. "That's her magic, no fancy hypnotic suggestions, no mind control or anything, just a woman's touch and that's enough to convince the Kaiju to just shut up and live here."

Eli nodded shocked seeing this, but couldn't help, but feel his heart melt looking at this. She barely knew Shiryu, and she was already doing everything in her power to make him feel welcome. Eli didn't even have to ask her to do it.

"Game set and match. This will set the tempo for his stay in Mother Base and on the island. Palmer can cry as much as he would like, but reality dictates otherwise. Let's leave them be for now, tomorrow you'll see what I mean by when I say 'Her true power.'" O'Grady got up from his seat and patted for the two to follow him to their rooms, leaving Girain, Giryia and Rex to themselves.

"Good night Rex." She whispered into his audio receiver and purred softly as she fell asleep, holding him into her like a scared, confused child.

Shiryu didn't understand the emotion he was feeling, but it was so alien, and yet so warm to him. He was confused on what this mission was, or what it had to do with counter-terror strategies, or kaiju combat. He sighed out and laid his head down. "Affirmative. Proceeding with mission objective shutdown mode." he sighed out, and turned his optics off flickering to black before he placed himself into sleep mode.

For a full night, they slept peacefully, not a single second were they disturbed by crisis or major events that needs quelling. Girain keeps Rex with her all night, wrapped up and protected in a bond that no mechanical logics can understand. By the time morning came to Monster Island, Girain was the first to woke up and check her clock, seeing they only have 5 minutes until 8, she shook Rex awaits. "Rex wake up! It's almost time now." She said.

Shiryu's optics flickered on, and he raised himself up obediently, and quickly managing to break free of Girain's grasp on him. "Current time 7:55 A.M. Objective "goodnight" completed. Awaiting further orders now." Everything he had just said was robotic, and almost comedically so. Although now Rex looked around the hangar realizing he hadn't been stationed during his sleep.

Girain at that moment had her sapphire blue optics lit up, she stood up and stretch herself like a cat, making bone creaking noises and making a low growl as she does so. The albino cyborg would then get up to her feet and gesture Rex to follow her to the elevator to the surface with her.

Shiryu saw her gesture, and looked at the elevator. "Calculating new objectives. Go outside?..." Confused he walked to the metal elevator with Girain following behind her. Though on the elevator he crossed his arms looking around for any signs of danger ever alert.

On the surface however, he was greeted with the sight of a bustling GDI Mother Base with helicopter patrols constantly buzzing around the island with vehicles moving around, ferrying men and supplies in and out of the base, Rex could see cargo ships approaching the dock with equipment necessary for the GDI to set up full accommodation for him. "Come on, let's start with the beach to the south of the base, it's perching out towards a busy maritime traffic lane so I wouldn't be too surprised to see someone washed up ashore, or pretend to be washed up ashore." She said, walking out of the base in the pathway marked for mechas like them, the men underneath were kept clear with barriers and concrete blocks like a well organized and enforced traffic lane.

Shiryu however stood in one place confused on what she meant by the request." You mean out of the GDI's designated border separating this base from the kaiju land? Are we authorized to do this?" he looked back at the base confused, and looked around the base moving his head around in quick nervous blurs.

Girain sighed and frowned disappointingly, she felt his timid nature is rather counter productive to both her job and his own stay on the island. Girain came to him again and held his hand to drag him off with her. "Yes we are! We're authorized to patrol around and in the island to keep the peace. So it's our job to get out there." She growled slightly as she pull him away to follow her.

Shiryu at the rough pull of Girain nearly fell over from being tugged on by her strength, but as well yelped and whimpered nervous and shy from the sudden odd objective. She pulled him over the barrier where he made an almost high pitched whine like a confused, and nervous dog. Once he was over the line he began darting his head looking around confused.

She saw his wildly eyes and crazed expression as if he was lost in a thick jungle and surrounded by all sorts of threat was almost comical to the point of making her laugh. But for now she contained her amusement of his reactions and pick up his hands and pull him back up to his feet. "Just relax Rex, we haven't left the base yet, we just crossed a barrier that's all. Don't your superiors tell you that you need to learn the layout of the island by multiple patrols on foot with someone who has been here before?" She asked, making a shrug gesture to get her point across.

Shiryu stayed silent for the moment. He looked back at the GDI base longing just to stay in the confines of human construction rather than to rough out the elements of nature around him. Tropical parrots, red in color, flew in front of his optics getting his attention. He shook his head out, and looked back at Girain before sighing. "Well i suppose the argument you have just made is true, but I can't help and feel that I'm breaking several protocols doing this. These are your orders however and I will follow them…" He tapped his fingers on his right hand against his right thigh nervous, and he tapped them quick. He looked down and saw that Girain was holding his hand, and firmly at that. He wasn't allowed to engage in combat with her so he couldn't break free. He just looked around at the settings, and sights around himself.

Girain sighed in relief that she finally convince him using simple reasoning and began to make their way towards the nearby beach, little does Rex knows, the place is only used by Girain to relax herself and swimming in the water. While they were away, however, O'Grady was once again in his usual get up to greet another UN HVI at the helipad of the base.

This Helicopter was different in color than the UNKCC one however it was black with golden stripe on the lower parts of the helo. A sharply dressed man a bit big only by 40 pounds wearing a black over coat and the same color of slack came out of the helo's sliding door. Face wise he was bald,with a grey beach around a round chin. He tightened his tie looking like a usual g-man. He had a black suit case carried in his left hand. This was Sullivan Palmer. Shiryu's UN representative.

"You're late." O'Grady said, walking up to the man and shook his hand for formality sake. "Your assets have entered the island is now conducting orientation training with our resident units. Additional support assets and infrastructure have arrived and are now being put in place." The general would then direct Palmer down from the rooftop helipad to an elevator and head down the central command room of the GDI Mother Base. A war room with rows of computer monitors and operators surveying the island and GDI's global operation. In the center was a massive strategic screen displaying the world map and time passage in various regions of the world. "This is it. The Central Command room. The best Wargame simulation and exercises money can buy." O'Grady said as he came over to a command chair and settle down on the seat of power and assume command.

Sullivan in the meantime looked disinterested in a lot of what was being shown to him. "Could have sworn the UNGCC had a massive war room in the 90's like this. Meh. And speaking of my Rex unit." He laid out his suitcase, and opened in revealing it to be a portable supercomputer. "Everything that you need to know, and everything we know about him is on this suit case." he then booted it up to show a UN logo of the Earth as per normal. Biggest difference of the UN logo and the UNKCC logo is the lack of Heisei Gojira in the UN logo.

"About damn time, I need that info yesterday. Can't you move your slow ass and give us the need to know in time next time!?" The General pouted, he was fuming red in all of a sudden and with a moment, he was commanding the attention of the room. Anyone who has worked with him long enough would know he has no tolerance for incompetence or bureaucratic inept. He would then wirelessly access the supercomputer files and upload the datas into GDI's secured servers and keep the files under safe wrappings of codings and passwords that changed at random. "Now then, as I was saying," He suddenly calmed down and his face became less tensed. "Your asset is being oriented to the day to day operations of the island and how to best pursue his task." He tapped a few buttons and push on screen a satellite surveillance image of Rex and Girain at the beach but they don't seem to be on patrol like the usual military sense. In fact, it would seem like Girain was letting Rex taking his time to understand the natural world around him.

Sullivan looking at this footage dashed up to the screen looking at this. His face squinted confused at what he was seeing. Though he knew he didn't like it. "What is our multi billion dollar unit doing relaxing on the beach like he's on a Hawaiian vacation? And also has anyone forgotten how dangerous he is, and what Orion had him do while he was under their control? And you let him off of base property?" His face also seemed to redden in anger of his own. As for Shiryu he stood confused on the beach. He looked both way left and right multiple times trying to see if there was any trouble. Nothing on his optics showed. He even scanned the treeline only getting fauna like tropical birds. As for the flora he scanned to see how many different species of tree were standing bordering and concealing the rest of the island to the its thickness. He looked down at the tan sand confused, and began bringing his left foot forwards, diggin the foot talong into the sand, and then dragging his foot back talon and all raking the sand.

"That right there, is the orientation training, he's being taught how to navigate the terrain, getting accustomed to the local geology and other important details. Here, Medicine first, guns second. Your Rex unit is in the finest hand this place has to offer." O'Grady casually explained the reasoning as he smoke his cigar monitoring Girain's decisions with taking Rex out to the beach, the general himself was rather curious at how will she approach the Rex unit who is more machine than what's underneath the armor would suggest.

"So Rex, you don't seem to talk much now do you?" She asked, leaning herself against a large boulder on the beach.

Sullivan himself only crossed his arms and huffed frowning at the screen. Shiryu at the question raised his head up, and looked at Girain. He didn't pay attention to the sand anymore. He stopped for a moment before saying anything. "Negative. I only talk when ordered to do so, or am spoken to first." He looked back down, and dug at the sand again raking it with odd curiosity.

She sighed upon hearing this and thought for a moment, she look around aimlessly, trying to come up with some sort of activities she can share with him. Then something struck her, when she took a look into the water of the pacific ocean and an idea was born. "Hey Rex, let's go swimming instead, you should do something instead of just standing around all day and do nothing." She said, walking into the water with the ocean waves clapping against her.

Shiryu once again tilted his head confused. He tapped his fingers against his thighs thinking of whether this was a good idea or not. He accepted, and walked along the beach's tan sand leaving his talon marks and tail trail in the sand. He got up to the water's edge where the water it the shore gently. Though he looked at it confused on whether or not he should step in. he raised on foot and dipped it into the water. Though this part was the most shallow he could achieve as the water came up to only where his ankles were. He tired to think of an excused looking at the horizon of the ocean. "Scenic day wouldn't you agree?"

"Mhm, you're starting to enjoy yourself now Rex." She swam deeper into the ocean, moving at graceful speed and fluidity almost like Jr himself or any other member of the Godzillian family. She gestured for him to follow her as she swam out further. "Come on Rex." She said.

Shiryu gulped and tapped his fingers together nervously. Part of his antics may have come off cute to Girain, but in Shiryu's troubled mind this was terrifying. He looked back at the horizon where the outside world was. Though part of him though genuinely that the sight was oddly pleasing to his eyes. He stopped, and lowered his hand tilting his head. "I don't believe I have payed as much attention to a sight like this before."

Girain nodded and cuddled him into her chest, gently stroking and massaging his back with her hands and planted a quick peck on his forehead. "Well, consider this your paid vacation. Get to know the island and situation and you'll be fine operating here." She patted him gently on his shoulders as they flow along with the current. Little did they know, they were coming towards the stream heading into the hot spring of the island.

Shiryu felt an odd emotion totally alien to him. He shook a little confused." Unit Girain… What is this odd feeling I have coming over me?... It feels odd and yet good… Like a warm tingling feeling." Shiryu head stayed against her chest. Though the emotions he was experiencing was profound and powerful enough to actually get him to sniffle once. He felt her rub his back gently, and yet he enjoyed the affection he was receiving. As the two flowed through the water current he forgot his sense of duty trying to comprehend the emotion he was feeling.

"That's affection Rex, it's a simple basic emotion. You can't use logics or programmings to prepare you for emotions, you have to experience them yourself to understand them to its fullness." She explained carefully and slowly, trying not to be condescending and sounds nurturing to him as they drift ashore on the white sand beach of the island. "Oh look, it seems this stream leads us into the hot spring of the island." She pointed out, knowing the layout of the island thanks to her numerous patrols and interaction with the Godzillian family on the island.

Shiryu though still had some issues comprehending what he was feeling. He began slowly breaking down in a soft cry while the water's moved the two along. "It f-feels good. This affection. It's causing another emotion. One that's making me feel good…. How long does this emotion last for? Or does it ever end? What is it?..." he continued his soft cry. They would have both felt the waters getting warmer as the current led them to the hot springs. Surround them were giant trees bending over towards the water while the water they we swimming in was an eye catching blue.

"I can't say how long it will last, but I can tell you this Rex, you just have to learn and you'll be able to master them without others helping. That is the mark of maturity and strength." She knew that he in fact wanted to be seen as strong to please Eli, but deep down she knew he was very much confuse and unable to decided how best to pursue his goal. She would then help him up to his feet and dry them up. "Ah this is a good place to relax yourself up. Come on. Let's enjoy ourselves." She gestured for him to follow her and dip into one of the pond and relax his body.

Shiryu continued crying, whimpering, and sniffling a little feeling the new found emotions. When she took him out of thee water steam he didn't know how to hug her back as he was never programmed to do so. Instead he let her take his hand and lead him to a hot pond. The pond was surrounded by tan rock while the bubbling blue-green water foamed white. He scanned his environment again and saw a massive red stone in the middle of the springs. Behind it was a more private pond while the others were grouped together in uneven and deformed circular shapes that had hot steam float up into the air. The springs were surrounded by jungle trees green in color and covered in lush leaves and vines.

Girain took a look around their lush environment and was visibly satisfied by the level of discreet and privacy it offer. She was still holding Rex's hand but through simple palm gestures, pressure of holding and loosening can let Rex know her intentions and what she wants him to do. As she directs him to enter a pond and feel how it will stimulates his senses, knowing that he wouldn't do it with confident, she has to urge him with simple wording in a way he would understand her offer as "Orders."

With Girain now discovering how to lead Rex along she used this new found knowledge to help him along. He followed her every order as if she was his superior. Although now with shiryu feeling affection Girain he didn't understand what he was feeling. He was really a confused mess that just need more time to develop.

However, at the more private hot spring two distinct voices were heard. Shiryu hearing them tugged on Girain's hand to get away.

Though Girain would have recognized them. The gruff voice and the bird brained lighter voice that was heard talking fast almost always.

She would have recognized them as family.

Girain whispered Rex to keep quiet and most of all, do not panic and whimper, she walks off towards the sound of the noise, she poked her head around the rock and found the pteranodon known as Rodan and Anguirus the resident Kaiju doctor of the island. She took a moment to ponder whether it was safe to reveal Rex to them or not, before long she decided to walk up and greet them. "Ah hello guys. I didn't know you two would be here." She greeted keeping up the good mood she has since waking up.

Shiryu stayed close to a different pond that was bubbling while Girain went off to talk to Rodan and Anguirus. They both gave her a warm greeting. Rodan in his usual smooth red skin, two red horns point backwards on his head, and his green eyes. His chest had a dirty yellow colored chest, and Anguirus with his brown eyes greyish brown skin around his body, tan short spikes on his body, and spikes resting his head, and a short spike on his nose.

They both smiled seeing her though it was Anguirus who spoke up first sitting to the right of rodan as two best friends. "Hey Girain. You just missed Heisei." Rodan nodded. "He comes here usually to get that pain out of him. The uh… uh… orange thing s he's been dealing with for like 20 years now type. Thing." Rodan looked around hearing what sounded like rustling leaves. He pointed his beak around confused, and curious. "Dude some's getting some around here."

Though the sound was Shiryu digging his tonfas at a bush for whatever reason seemingly curiously. Though the other two couldn't seem him, or even know who it was.

Girain knew that by now the cat's out of the bag and she can't keep Rex hidden from them anymore, however, considering Rodan and Angy, she found them to be more approachable to introduce Rex than Heisei Gojira and Jr. She let out a sigh and call Rex out. "You can come out now Rex, Heisei is gone. One second sooner and Heisei would have flipped out completely." She sighed in relief and let Rex walk out of the bushes and be seen by Rodan and Angy.

Rodan tilted his head however before she brought shiryu out of the bushes. "I think I've heard Goji say that name befo-" When Shiryu came out of the bushes Rodan and Anguirus' eyes both widened and their faces turned more pale than before. They looked each other and back at Rex who stood there silent and cold as normal. He didn't know how to greet them at all, and worse Girain knew somehow of Rex before they even met him.

"Well what of the odds right? Long story short, I just met him yesterday and now I've been tasked with getting him to know the island and what the do's and don'ts around here. I heard that he and Jr had a bad history but I have yet to ascertain how BAD is it." She said frowning and sit down meditatively. "Sit down Rex." She whispered at Rex to sit down with her fold his tonfas to avoid unnecessary conflict.

She had some difficulty getting the blades folded back into their sheaths, but as she grunted to get them back in folding them back slowly. Rodan point at Rex and began stuttering. "Da-da-d-da-da-tha-tha-tha-th-that's-" Anguirus hit Rodan in the back of his head making a loud SMACK sound with Rodan groaning. Though Anguirus finished off Rodan's thoughts for him. "Okay. That's the Shiryu we've been hearing about. Goddamnit the kid's been going off about this for a week now. Oh and just how bad is the relation between them? Jr still thinks he's dead…" Shiryu hearing this stepped back without ever entering the pond. "I don't feel welcomed here…."

Girain calmly tugged his right hand and hold him back, keeping him with her. "No you are staying and hold your ground. And that's final." She sighed as she cradled his head into her chest and the side of his head and wrap her left arm around his neck. "Now I heard that Jr had a less than stellar history with Rex. But like I said, I don't know anything about how bad is it. So I need you guys to explain some details for me." Girain spoke with a calm yet elegant voice of compassion, moving the two Kaiju in the hot spring to answer her question.

Rodan however sayed in the bubbling warm hot spring more shocked than ever, and even had his jaw hung open like it broke."Rodan excuse me can he please talk again? You know like more than one word. I'm mean like. Like" He moved his hand to his mouth and then point his palm upwards while throwing it away from his beak while making a vomiting noise, and then finally sticking his tongue out with wide eye." Like you know WORDS!" Anguirus himself nodded as well to this. "I think i need to hear him talk again… Then I'll know for sure why the god damn kid is so passionate about this…"

Girain tilted her head forward and squinted her optics, she still held Rex in her grip but has now loosen up and allow him to enter the pond to relax himself. "Anyway, I think I can deduce a few thing myself. Rex and Jr fought each other in the past, I wasn't around then to know so I'll leave it to the imagination. The two were gravely injured, Jr survive but thought Rex is dead and now is suspecting Rex is still alive right?" She stared straight into Angy's eyes, expecting a confirmation to roll out of the red carpet that is his tongue any minute now.

Shiryu just fell into the pond face first sliding in like his bones had turned to Jello. Girain had to fish him out of the water, and get him back to her chest. Although, now with Girain staring Anguirus down he gulped a little nervously. "Oh boy you're staring at me like Gojirin used to… Well…. Yeah the kid did fight him in the past. He came home covered in Goddamn wounds. A scrape across his face, some gashes on his ALREADY existing God damn chest scar. Lets see. His legs were messed up. He had an impaled shoulder with an exit wound. Ogra saw him, and she flipped the fuck out saying he should stay home more, and stop fighting as it's going to kill him one of these God damn days… But the most chilling thing he said was who that was" He pointed at Shiryu who actually dug himself deep into Girain's chest. He felt like he was being judged.

"I think you make your Goddamn point clear Angy." She retorted Angy's phrases with her own paraphrase of him as she kept Rex defended and cuddled up in her. "Sorry for lashing out. But I wasn't around then to know, and now something from Jr's past came by my side and I felt a certain responsibility on me. You understand don't you Angy?" She crossed her arms over her chest, tapping her talons on the metal plates of her elbows.

Rodan didn't even snicker after she used Angy's words against him. He was still in shock for some reason looking at Shiryu, or rather staring at him. Anguirus cleared his throat while scratching the back of his head. "Well Girain if I could get him to speak again i'll show you just why Jr and him have such a bad history." He leaned in closer to get a better look at Shiryu. Anguirus then bit his lip not wanting here his voice slightly "Okay can you speak son? Say hi. Say anything." Shiryu lifted his head away from Girain's chest. "Uhhhh…. Hello?" Rodan's heat sunk "Oh God damnit he sound like Jr… Crap…" Anguirus grumbled hearing this, and looked back into Girain's eyes "Jr said the humans took his essence, and made a clone of him to kill him off for good… That's why he keeps talking about him."

Girain nervously nodded and look back at Rex with wary look on her face but something in her was gnawing at the albino cyborg, something primal and primitive. An emotion of motherly love, or in this case, sisterly protection. "Angy, I think I understand a little better now. Jr wants to rid his shadow out of his mind but just can't.* She sighed. "This will never work out. I'm not going to judge Rex as a clone of Jr or any of that. If he is a clone of Jr, then why is he so shy and timid, unlike Jr's warlike personality." She became stricter and noticeably more stoic in her defense of Rex. "He's different from Jr, I can see it right from the day he came here and give me Goddamn time and I'll figure things out. Just don't let Jr know that Rex's on the island otherwise he'll flip." Girain look back at Rex, pity was in her sapphire blue lenses as she cradle his head into her chest one more time.

Anguirus looked at how Girain was cradling Shiryu as well as Shiryu's stiff body language like he didn't want to be there. Like he had something to fear. Something stressing him out. Anguirus spoke up again sighing. "Well i wouldn't exactly call the kid a war machine. If you ever see him with Ogra you'll know what I'm talking about, but… I used to do that with Jr when he was a kid when he got stressed out." He then frowned deeply in thought while Rodan back up to a tan rock wall of the hot springs seemingly to try and evade this whole situation. "And he looks stressed out himself. Here let me try something. If he is the kid as a robot then this should work." He moved closer to Girain while Shiryu saw him approaching, and buried his head deeped into Girain's chest.

"Uh, what are you going to do with him Angy?" She asked sounding rather anxious and concern at what Angy was about to do to Rex. She still keep Rex buried in her chest to keep him safe for his first time out.

Anguirus moved to Shiryu's right side, and tugged him away from Girain's chest. It managed to cause Shiryu to growl out in anger, and fear, but Anguirus didn't seem to mind his action. "I use to do this for the kid when he was stressed out when he was younger." He lifted Shiryu's right out of the water forcefully, but surprisingly gently. He then rubbed on palm on the bottom of Shiryu's upper arm while the other hand massaged the front part of the upper arm both in a gentle manner with both hands going in opposite directions. He then patted Shiryu's right arm and stroked it downwards a couple of time before moving to Rex's shoulders rubbing in a circular motion before finally moving to the back of his neck where he squeezed and rubbed there gently using his rough hands basically giving shiryu a sudden surprise massage.

"So this is your massage technique to calm Jr down? So you believe that if it works on Jr then it must work on Rex right?" She asked, her words were filled with skeptical notions as she record Angy's motions on Rex carefully to remember if she needs to apply it to him herself.

Anguirus began laughin however looking at his work. "Well why don't you just see for yourself." Shiryu had gone completely limp in Girain's arms. His optics were still on as he didn't get to deactivate them himself, but he was snoring just as loud as Jr would. Rodan began laughing seeing this point his beak skywards, and laughing mouth open.

Girain herself was astonished by Angy's handy work, her recording came to a halt once Rex was snoring as she now tries to see if she can wake him up. "Okay, so it confirms your theory that Rex is Jr's clone and is like him. But how am I supposed to wake him up?" She asked, flipping Rex on his back and check his pulses.

Angy then snorted out. "Oh. Woops. Erhm… he's going to be sleeping like a baby for like… 20 minutes. Maybe 5 if we're lucky." He patted Shiryu on the back of his neck. "But hey. At least he seems less stressed for now. Right?"

Girain nervously nodded and look back down at Rex. "Well yes, I agree he's a lot less stressed out now. And he seems to be rather adorable when he's sleeping." She thought. Girain would then drag Rex to a large stone and lay him on it, he was laying on his side and was being left to sleep peacefully as Girain sat right below him talking to Angy. "Angy, back there you mention someone named Gojirin. Who is that?" Her expression seems to change to a more inquisitive one, rather than an affectionate smile of love and care to Rex.

It was then Angy's expression became more nervous when she mentioned Gojirin. He smiled nervously, and rubbed the back of his neck afraid for some reason. "Well you see, er, Girain. She was Heisei's ex-wife. If you're wondering what she looked like well I recall she was albino. Like very white, but uh…" He looked at Rodan who was equally as nervous. Rodan darted his eyes back, and forth nervously "Well they broke up after a feud with her saying she was pregnant, but he didn't believe her and Heisei was planning to split up temporarily. Though I guess Gojirin back then took it to level ten and got PISSED at me and Angy for sticking by Heisei. She couldn't blame us though for him being dense, and she left him." Rodan shrugged and shivered at those memories.

Girain too shuddered and as she has never met Gojirin in person before and has only heard of Gojirin by word of mouth from Angy and Rodan, which helps further foster the mystique and fear of Gojirin almost like a legend. It's unknown to Girain whether Heisei's ex wife is still alive or not, but one thing must be certain, this Gojirin must be a very strong and assertive female. "Well let's hope I don't have to go through what you guys experienced." She sheepishly said, quivering in fear for a moment before going back to check on Rex.

Shiryu was still passed out with his optics on still, but now Eli Baline in the GDI base was trying desperately to contact him through headset seeing his alert, and awake signatures falling for some reason. Eli was seen in the GDI base's war room being give his own computer desk."Shiryu? Shiryu! Shiryuuuuuu!" Sullivan Palmer walked behind him grabbing Eli's shoulder rather rough. "ELI!" Eli jumped up and screamed. He breathed out rapidly. "For God's sakes Sullivan don't startle me like that…" Sullivan seemed not to care for Eli's well being and scared self. He glared down at him with one simple question "Where is Shiryu?..." Eli pointed both palms at the air looking for an answer himself before he stood up, and looked for some answers. "I seemed to have misplaced my giant mecha. Can anyone find him, please?"

O'Grady was quick to resolve the situation by patting Palmer and Eli on their backs, he would then direct their attention to the screen where the satellite zoom in on Girain's position by the hotspring, it shows a Girain relaxing and conversing with Rodan and Angy while Rex was sleeping like a baby on a rock just right above her. "Looks like your billion dollars pet project has its own needs too Palmer. Too bad, you only have the wants." O'Grady commented, chuckling slightly as he return to his seat. "Just contact Girain and she'll fill in what you need to know."

Eli sighed out. "I'll do it" He was given a radio by one of the GDI members though when she would pick up all she would have heard was a nervous "uhhhhhh….." Sullivan crossed his arms seeing Eli's shyness as well as Shiryu's location. "Yeah. A million dollar weapon is now relaxing in an oversized spa. What did she put cucumbers on his eyes as well, and tell him what a pretty little hate machine he is?..."

Girain was at the hot spring when she picked up Eli's call, his shy and nervous "uhhhhh…" was the dead giveaway that she needs and was quick to answer it. "Yes Eli? Is something wrong?" She asked calmly, in a complete opposite of his nerdy nature.

Eli cleared his throat and began speaking. "Uh yeah. Rex's signature had gone dark, and his bio reading is showing he erm fell asleep? In a hot spring? With the two kaiju Rodan and Anguirus? Can someone please make sense to me. I need to know if he's alright…"

Girain can be heard giggling at Eli's confusion and his complete lack of preparedness when coming to Mother Base. She would then answer him while chilling in the water of the hot spring. "Well simple Eli. Rex and I were on patrol when we came across the Hot Spring I frequent. He was timid and stressed out because of meeting Angy and Rody here, so Angy gave him a little massage and he fell asleep. At least he's a lot more calm now." She concluded. Behind Eli, O'Grady made a remark at her report as textbook SitRep on her part.

Eli's face remained blank, and raised his two hands into the air. "S-sure why not right? Well thankfully for him the two kaiju there right now are labeled as lower threat levels than that of Jr, In Fact Anguirus has been labeled as having a symbiotic relationship with the Godzillians. Maybe a bit of that was towards Shiryu right? Right?" He gulped thinking his job was on the line thanks to two kaiju Shiryu only just met.

"Excuse me Eli, I think you are too condescending here. First of all, Angy is responsible for taking care of Jr while he grew up and second of all, they're no threat, they're family to me. Better think about that before you decide to do something on this island. This place has a much more complex family matter than you think and I have to keep my eyes and ears peeled all the times to understand the depth of it all." Her voice became hardened, her tone shifted to combative and somewhat more like scolding Eli and perhaps by extension his own superiors.

"Gotta hand it to her. Can't live here without her." Said O'Grady as he tape the patrol from beginning to the end.

Eli himself gulped being chewed out by Girain. He had a massive red blush on his face, and he stayed quiet for a minute. "Uh. yes ma'am. Excuse that I just am unsure and uneducated by kaiju lifestyles. If you can understand their language then there's a language barrier blocking my perception of kaiju life styles. Sincerest apologies." he shuddered a little listening to that.

Girain sighed and soften up her combative tone a little towards Eli. "Excuse my attitude Eli, but I simply can't put up with humans making blatantly condescending concepts in the context of a simple action like an adoption of Kaiju hatchlings. Once I get back to base with Rex, you can rest assured that he's oriented on the first of the do's and don'ts of the island." She shut out the communication comms with Eli and went back to to check on Rex's status and count the time he had spent sleeping.

Eli had seen Shiryu had been asleep for about 20 minutes, but more importantly he had grown to respect Girain more after that verbal smack down. Rodan chuckled to himself, but made his own remarks. "Man I don't know what you just said in that language, but damn you sounded fucking angry!" Shiryu against the rock groaned out a little waking up. Eli saw his conscious monitor blip up on the computer screen, and sighed with relief. It was satelite image of the island how Shiryu's signature as a blue dot with a line coming off of it labeling his statistics in blue lettering.

Girain sighed and look back at Rodan. "You know I usually have to report to the humans running the base I live in right? Well today I got a pair of noobs who didn't bother reading the pamphlets of the island." the albino cyborg then turn back to Rex, nuzzling him awake with her snout like a Godzillian does to her younger family member. "Come on Rex, get up, we can go back to base now." She said calmly and softly to Rex's ears.

Rodan laughed again hearing Girain's depiction of the humans. "You know you can be a real riot when you want to be?" Shiryu in the meantime didn't purr, but lifted his head up from the ground. The hot spring humidity had made the ground around the spring muddy, and wet causing shiryu to leave an indent of himself in the dirt. He got up without groaning, but panted a bit. "Unit Girain?" he looked around, and saw Rodan and Anguirus staring at him to his right while they were chest deep in the water. He pushed himself up using his own arms, and then followed up by shaking his head out.

Girain would then pat him on his back and stroke his dorsal plates gently like a cat. "20 minutes of sleeping and you already feel better now. That technique Angy got is really handy there." She said as she helped Rex up to his feet. "Notice how I didn't bring my mounted weapons on me today Rex? That's because I want you to learn something that doesn't involve guns." She explained, the detail could have been noticed before by Rex but perhaps was lost during the moments when she drag him off.

Shiryu did in fact notice however as he had looked under his forearms where his tonfas were sheathed. In Girain's head she would have seen him processing what she had just said, but didn't speak a word. Again he examined his surroundings one final time, not knowing he had gotten his taste of freedom. He thought he was on duty, and this was one of his "odd jobs". He continued processing a mission in his head as he continued scanning over the island's flora and fauna. While walking on a dirt path with Girain. The dirt here was drier than the one at the spa/hot spring area. Though gathering data on some of the plant life he found mega sized poppy plants that others wished to smuggle off of the island. Each movement with Girain moved leaves rustle as they passed through jungle.

"Try not to think too hard about today's mission Rex. There was no mission for you today, it was actually your first taste of freedom and the outdoors." She said, making her way through the thick jungle along the footpath, eventually coming back to the GDI base where they could hear the sounds of gun firing on the range and construction going on by the mecha hangar. "Sounds like they have your infrastructure set up now." She said perking her head upward, swiveling it to the direction of the construction sound.

Shiryu as well heard the sounds of gunfire, and construction work. It was odd for him though. "The GDI has already gotten to constructing my accommodations?" He looked at the base and stood a little taller seeing a more familiar setting for himself. Surrounded, and made by humans. He sighed out looking at it feeling more in a safe zone. Though one thing that did surprise Girain was when he hugged her back after his day of work. It wasn't strong by any means, but it was showing he was slowly learning.

Girain smile and giggled at Shiryu's sudden act of hugging, a simple gesture but speaks more than a thousand words, she placed her hands on his hugging arms and held him close to her as the elevator took her down. "Overlord, how come the UNKCC couldn't even bother to make their cyborgs talk to them and have to ask for a translator like me?" She asked on the comms.

O'Grady himself was enjoying his coffee mug and sipping some of the frothy caffeine as he replied to her, using the comms of the war room. "Simple, they either have squandered their budget on building maser tanks or they just have a collection of less than stellar engineers whose sense of priorities is a mystery second only to women." He said, making her laugh out loud for the first time since Rex's arrival.

"Well you got me there sir. I got a request for you sir." She said.

"Shoot." He replied drinking the coffee mug that has the label "Reasoning before fighting."

"Do you still have any of those vocal equipment for mecha units? I think Rex could use one as an upgrade." Her request was of course, met by his interested look as he glanced over at Scot and Eli.

"Roger that, can't say no to that request. I'll have the tech team working on modifying the vocal encoder to attach on Rex. Hopefully they'll be done by tomorrow." He finished.

"Thank you sir. Athena out." She put down the comms link and settle Rex down in the hangar with her. "Take a break Rex, your first day went well for the most part. The most dangerous was meeting the family members in a sudden and have them all come at your throat." She said, sitting down and relax her tired feet.

O'Grady in the meantime approached Scot Osborn and Eli with eyes out for reasoning from the UNKCC members. "I know that you guys specialized in BBQing Kaiju with Maser tanks and experimental weapons that send soldiers everywhere a run for their money. But explain to me why can't you make your mecha, cyborg unit talk to you?" He asked sarcastically.

Scot sighed and placed his hand behind his back with a stern dead pan look. "Well we did in fact think of giving him one. The problem is how to give him one. We studied how Girain, Kiryu, and Giryia can speak to their human commanders, and allies. We just don't know how. The report on Kiryu going back online, and his first request being to see his son was possibly the greatest thing to happen to a mecha unit. The ability to receive orders, and then send back responses. If you have that technology in your disposal then by all means put it on Shiryu." Eli nodded having most of the words taken out of his mouth. "Yep. It was a mystery to all of us at one point. If Shiryu could talk to us then it'd be a welcomed change."

General O'Grady nodded understandably and finished up his mug of coffee. "Got it. My tech guy will also need to make some changes to Rex's programming once they have the encoder attached to him. Considering his condescending nature right now wouldn't jibe well with the rest of the island. If you ever wonder how can the mecha of the GDI communicate with Kaiju and GDI troops, is simple. We study the way the vocal chord of the Godzillian work and replicate with our MFS units in order to make them communicable with the Kaiju. Then we build the encoder which acts first as a recorder device that monitor the vocal chord then synch with the meaning associated with the sound in the subject's mind and translate into known languages for us." The general showed the two men a chart and diagram of the language decoder used by the GDI and how it will be modified to suit Rex.

Scot nodded scratching his chin. "This should be easy then. Shiryu was put into a 3-4 year Ebook training session uploading various languages into his mind. He also know human non verbal communication such as hand gestures, body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions. He has basic knowledge of human history, and as well weaponry. He has a database that's updated around the clock for kaiju related activities. Him getting settled into a vocal decoder should be a snap. Eli your thoughts?" Eli used his right hand the rub his short beard making a scratching a rustling sound. He nodded as well seeing this information. "Eli it will certainly work. He knows language and can even read scripts and text. I let him use the internet often, and it seems his frequent search history is on kaiju facts. Oh and news sites."

The general rubbed the trivial facts off of his face and focus his mind on the matter, for the rest of the day, while Rex and the twins rest, the GDI went to work tirelessly, building his accommodation and modifying his encode, O'Grady himself paid close attention the process of the decoder with an interest in mind, "Reasoning before fighting." If the mecha can convince the Kaiju to live on the island without conflict, then the approach pioneered by Girain is much more productive and effective than simply investing in all out war. The engineering and construction crew took their time but by the evening, all important infrastructures for Rex has been installed and ready to use. The technical team in the meantime busy themselves with welding and cutting the vocal encoder into a new piece of device similar to a collar on Rex's neck.
