Part 6: "When Giants Walked the Earth!"
At a special United Nations summit at Okinawa, Japan, an emergency meeting was taking place. Present at the meeting were various interested parties, including UNIT, UNSIA, SHIELD, ARMOR, SOWRD, UN Spacy, NERV, the Japanese Self-Defense Force's "Special Tactical Unit", and other appropriate world-wide agencies that could deal with a rather special problem…
"Thank you all for coming," said General Trisha Tanaka, the head of Japan's Special Tactical Unit. "As you all know, my nation has been charged with dealing with the creatures, called 'kiju", that dwell on 'Monster Island' in the Pacific Ocean, while my American counter-parts deal with the monsters on 'Isle del Monsturo' in the Atlantic Ocean near the chain of Caribbean Islands. So far, the collateral damage has been kept at a minimum…"
Pause.
"A month ago, a team from the UNSIA discovered the source of these creatures," Tanaka said, as she signals an aide to dim the lights to show pictures from a projector of an area of the Marianas Trench, the deepest part of the ocean floor.
"Apparently, these creatures are not indigenous to Earth, but from another dimension altogether. Only a handful has migrated to this world from that world, but, it was thought that if we can seal off that rift, we might finally have a handle on dealing with the kiju once and for all."
"Does that mean that you will retire?" said one guest.
"No, because there still will be the monsters on Monster Island to deal with, not to mention dealing with these human monsters known as 'Hulks', as well as other similar phenomenon…"
Tanaka gives Usagi, representing the interests of Homeworld Security, the evil eye. It was only recently that she learned that Usagi was her hated foe, the Hulkusagi, a gamma-powered creature that terrorizes the people of Japan with her bizarre antics. But some reason, her superiors have refused her request to deal with Usagi as Usagi, but has been allowed to deal with Usagi as the Hulkusagi…
"What?" Usagi said.
"Anyway, as I was saying, it was thought that if the rift was sealed, we would have no problems with the kiju in the future."
"Let me guess," said the SHIELD representative. "Someone tried to seal the rift without consultation?"
"Yes, but how did you know?"
"Considering the fact that kiju attacks worldwide has increased, what other conclusion is there?" said the representative from Atlantis.
"We believe that our 'homegrown' monster population, led by Gojira, as well as receiving assistance from the Zentraedi, the kiju can be controlled…"
Pause.
"However, rather than just rely upon those factors, I propose to initiate 'Project: Pacific Rim' in the interim. We can pool our resources to create a dedicated fighting unit that can deal with the Kiju problem, which would, in turn, keep the monster population under control and within the Pacific Rim region."
"That is a lot of money you want us to invest in," said another.
"I, for one, would support this venture," said the European Union representative. "For one, the Japanese government is already experienced in dealing with monster, and, two, I rather have the monsters be kept busy on this side of the world, rather than come to Europe."
"Then, it's agreed-"
Suddenly, there is a roar outside, as a giant monster begins to make its way to Okinawa, specifically where the meeting was taking place. In fact, there were five kaiju heading their way…
"Well, it looks like we have a problem," Usagi said, as she gets up. She then turned to one of the STU delegation.
"You ready, kid?" Usagi said, as she turned to look at Lt. Nozumo Taiga, an Ace fighter pilot who served as a regular in the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force before being recruited by Tanaka for the STU.
"What?" Taiga said, as looked Usagi, after staring at the incoming monsters. "OH! Oh, yeah…"
"Excuse me, but I'm the one with the jurisdiction here," Tanaka said.
"Okay, then tell him what he needs to do," Usagi said.
"FINE," Tanaka said. "Lieutenant?"
"Yes, ma'am?"
"Assist…General Tsukino in dealing with these creatures," Tanaka said with disdain. She STILL can't believe that this…'monster woman' was her equal...
"Yes, ma'am!"
With that, Usagi and Taiga run out of the conference room, while the rest of the guests gather their forces as a precaution…
"Okay," Usagi said, as she and Taiga see the creatures. Usagi then turned towards Taiga.
"You are the latest in the line of 'Ultras', who are charged with defending Earth from giant monsters."
"Well, that's fine and all, but I'm only one guy."
"That's why I am here. Now, stand back…"
Usagi clapped her hands together…
"Multi-form Technique…Initiate!"
FWOOSH!
There were now four identical clones of Usagi standing near Taiga. Unlike the Shadow Clone Technique, theses clones were real duplicates, albeit possessing on one-four the power of the original. Not that what will happen next will matter much…
"Now," said the four identical Usagi(s). One was holding a riding crop, another was holding a thick pen-like object, and another was showing off a stylish watch with a Crescent moon on the facing. Meanwhile, the other was hyperventilating for some strange reason.
"Let's get started-"
"Um, why the riding crop?" Taiga said.
"Hmmm?" said the one holding the crop, which was used to whip galloping horses. "Oh! Sorry. I had gone on a dinner date with my hubby, and, well, you know."
"No, I don't, and I don't want to know."
"Um, right," Usagi with the riding crop said, as she traded it for a hairbrush. "Now, go!"
"Okay," Taiga said, as he raised his fist into the air. "Ultraman Zero…TRANSFORM!"
FLASH!
"Okay," said Usagi #1, as she raised her rod. "Ultra Sailor Moon…TRANSFORM!"
FLASH!
From an extra-dimensional field, Ultraman Zero and Ultra Sailor Moon trade places with their human counterparts, as it has been done ever since the first Ultraman had joined with a mortal back in the 1960s.
"Okay," Ultra Sailor Moon said telepathically. Her Ultra-form was a cybernetic, giant-sized, fully armored (from head-to-toe) version of Sailor Moon. Even her headgear was similar to Sailor Moon's traditional Odangos…
"Let's fight!"
"Right!" said Ultraman Zero, with a nod.
Meanwhile, the other Usagi(s) also transformed into their enhanced forms.
"Rrrrrrrr-RRRAGH!" said Usagi #2, as she turned big, green and muscular. In other words, Usagi #2 has become…the Delightful Hulkusagi!
"Hulkusagi smash giant monster!" Hulkusagi said.
Usagi #3 also transformed, but, unlike the others, she merely knelt down to ground, and slammed her hairbrush down.
THOOOM!
When the smoke cleared, in Usagi #3's place was the All-Mother of the Norse gods: Thordis, the Lady of Asgard!
"Verily, Mother Earth has need of the daughter of Odin to protect her from this affront," Thordis said, as she slammed hilt of the Hammer of the Serpent onto the ground, which shook the planet. "As the guardian of Love and Justice, it is my duty to see these 'jotuun' humbled by my might, so says Thordis!"
With a flash, Thordis assumes her dragon/feathered serpent form, a gift from her husband/uncle Cul, the Lord of Fear. Thordis saw her so-called enhancement as a curse, since the side-effect is dealing with her serpent-like eyes, and having her personal guard, consisting of "monster warriors" known as "The Worthy".
"RRRROARRRR!" Thordis roared in her dragon form, which was the size of a kiju.
Curiously, the fourth Usagi did not transform, other than to transform into her normal senshi guise.
"Moon Prism…MAKE-UP!" Usagi #4 said, as she twirled around to become Sailor Moon. However, rather than stop there, Sailor Moon threw a fist into the air.
"Big Moon: SHOW TIME!" Sailor Moon yelled, as the Earth rumbled…
Suddenly, a mecha-replica of Sailor Moon burst from out of the ground, which was followed by a beam that yanked Sailor Moon into its cockpit. Once seated, words on her tactical monitor appear in front of Sailor Moon, which says the following:
IN NAME OF LOVE AND JUSTICE, I WILL PUNISH YOU!
"Indeed," Sailor Moon said, as she was strapped into her seat. She then puts on a pair of goggles on her face before grabbing the joystick.
"Let's go get 'em!"
And, with that, the battle was joined…
While Ultraman Zero dealt with his foe, the other protagonists did their own thing.
"Ah!" Ultra Sailor Moon said, as she was wrapped by the numerous tentacles of the octo-monster. "Why do I have to get the monster with the tentacles?"
Meanwhile, Hulkusagi was pounding the lava monster with abandon.
"SMASH!" Hulkusagi said with glee, as she pounded the visage to look like the character Melody from the "Hello Kitty" property.
"Tee-hee!"
Meanwhile, Thordis, in her dragon form, was a bit more vicious, as she used her body to first squeeze the giant ape-like creature in a coil before dislodging the joints in her jaw…
CHOMP!
"Mmmrmph!" the kiju said, as it was being swallowed whole…
"I'm going to be full for a WEEK at least," Sailor Moon laments, as she steered "Big Moon" into position while noticing her Nordic counterpart in action. "Okay, let's do this!"
A lizard-like kiju roars, as it charged forward.
Big Moon slid into a crescent stance, and, at the last minute, used a classic judo throw to toss the kiju onto its back.
WHOOOM-BAM!
Moving quickly, Big Moon was maneuvered to stand over the fallen kiju. It then cocked its fist.
CHUNK!
"Moon Knuckle Buster: SMASH!" Sailor Moon said, as she activated the rockets in her mecha's forearms, and slammed the knuckles into the kiju.
BOOM!
"And he's down!" Sailor Moon said. "Woot-woot!"
Later, after the crisis has been concluded…
"Ohhhhhhh," Usagi said with a moan, as she felt her stomach, which made her look pregnant. "Oh, why did I eat that kiju?"
"It's your fault, Usagi," Ranma said, as he supervised the removal of the remaining dead kiju, which will be converted into food to feed the monsters on Monster Island.
"Oh, thank you for caring!" Usagi complained. "Some HUSBAND you are, in my time of need…"
Just then, General Tanaka walks up to the couple.
"Well, you will be happy to know that my new budget has been approved," Tanaka said. "Project: Pacific Rim has been approved."
"That's wonderful!" Usagi said.
"But don't think YOU are off the hook, 'monster woman'," Tanaka said. "Just because my priorities have changed, that doesn't mean that I won't attempt to capture you in your Hulkusagi form."
"Gee, I didn't know you cared…"
In the end, a dedicated mecha unit, one that was designed to defeat rampaging kiju, will serve for the benefit of humankind.
Fin.
