2. Haruo dies, Godzilla lives, and then Ghidorah and Godzilla engage in a battle that ends the world.
3. Godzilla and Ghidorah die, the humans survive and live back on Earth, and Haruo is crowned King of the Monsters.
Anywho, without any further hiatus let's begin the chapter!
Several days have gone by. Haruo wasn't sure if progress was going any further. Akira mostly locked himself in the command center, Haruo and Maina stayed in two separate rooms on the Gotengo. All the while Haruo went back and rewatched several home videos that his mother and father had made. As he watched them he felt his humanity slowly slip back to him. The one he was watching today was one of his actual birth, his mother laid in the hospital bed and his father held the camera. "What are we going to call him...?" His mother asked.
"I don't know, what do you think?"
"He should have an Earth name...something that's strong and meaningful, something that will go down in history."
"Hmmm...Aha! I've got it! Nakajima!"
"A bit long don't you think?" She asked with a small laugh, "Besides, that sounds like a surname."
"I don't know, some of my friends at work have Surnames as their given names."
"Well I don't think you'll be working with our son."
"Ah, Alright then. Nakajima can be his middle name."
She smiles softly, "I'm fine with that." She then laid her head back and shut her eyes, "How about Haruo?"
"Haruo?"
"Yeah...it's a very strong and handsome name."
"Mm, I like it." He then walked over and got a full view of the baby's face. "Haruo it is."
Haruo then shut his eyes and hung his head as the video ended. He had longed to hear the sound of his mother's voice in person again but he knew he would never get the chance. He rubbed the back of his neck, "What's wrong?" Hikaru's voice came.
"Nothing, leave me alone."
"You're worries about her aren't you?"
"Why does it matter to you?"
"Call her."
"I can't, her suit and communicator are broken. The system is overrun with Nanometal."
"There's a way around that. Nanometal is very good when it comes to communication, most waves go right through it."
"Are you sure?"
"Try it."
Haruo sighed, he got up and walked to the tablet on the counter. He picked it up and pinged Yuko's suit. The call went through. "Yuko are you there?" Silence, "Yuko, come in its Haruo." Silence. "Yuko!" Soon static came through.
"Haruo...?"
"Yuko! Thank god!"
"Haruo, it's you! You're alive!"
"Yeah,"
"Have you found any of the other monsters?"
"Just Rodan."
"I see...hey, when will you be back?"
"I don't know, why?"
"Miana isn't feeling good. She keeps saying Maina's name?"
"Not feeling good? Is she sick?"
"I don't know to describe it...she's just laying here and she rarely moves. We have to ground up food just to feed her, and even so she barely eats anything."
"Mm...now that you say that Maina has been having similar symptoms."
"Maybe they can't be away from each other for a certain period of time...I read about something like that once where people are bound together by mind and soul. So if Miana dies-"
"Maina dies too..." Haruo paused, "I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Hurry...I miss you."
"I miss you too."
"Oh! By the way, Metphies and the other humans are back!"
"What?!"
"Yeah, they wandered back here a day ago. Most of the tribe is a bit put off my all of them, especially Metphies they all glare at him."
"Mm...I'll be back soon."
"I love you."
"Mm." Haruo then cut off communication.
"Don't you love her too?" Hikaru's voice came.
"I do...I just...Why am I even talking to you about my feelings? We have to get back now."
"Where too?"
"The Toutua tribe village."
"I see."
Haruo then left his room and made his way to the command center. He banged on the door, "Akira! Open up!" No response, "Akira!" Still no response, Haruo growled. He went to open the door but nothing happened. He placed his hand on the scanner next to the door.
"Access Code?" The computer said,
"Sakaki."
"Denied."
"Haruo Sakaki."
"Denied."
"Damn it..." Haruo grit his teeth. He then wedged his fingers in between the door and the wall and slowly began to pull the door open. He was able to get it open enough for him to slide in, the door then shut behind him. Akira was sitting in a large chair in the center of the room, he then spun around.
"Can I help you?"
"We need to go somewhere."
"And why is that?"
"Someone I care about us dying."
"Ah, your girlfriend?"
"No,"
"Mm, then we're in no rush." He then spun back around.
"What the hell are you even doing?!"
"Drawing up new Mechagodzilla designs."
"So while you're doodling innocent lives are being lost!" Akira snickered,
"Doodle Huh? Haven't heard that one in a while."
Haruo grit his teeth and walked over to Akira. "Hey!" He spun the chair slightly, Haruo then got a full glimpse at this new Mechagodzilla design, it looked similar to the third one only slimmer and with a more humanoid figure.
"What?"
Haruo took the design from him and looked at it, "This design..."
"Ah, you like it? You see I sort of incorporated the designs of all three of them into one. It has the long tail and more upright position of the third one, but still has the finger missiles from the first one. It then has the weapons of all three of them put into one, it's sort of à Méchagodzilla Ultimate as some would put it."
"I see..." Haruo then looked over some more of it, "Space Titanium with Synthetuc Diamond coating?"
"Yes that's right."
"Could you, in theory, out Nanometal over any of this? As another coating."
"In theory yes."
"Good, the Mechagodzilla City is in ruins, there is enough Nanometal there to cover a planet."
"But why Nanometal?"
"It seems to be effective against Godzilla, almost like a poison."
"Didn't I tell you earlier? It will only create new life."
"Not if we blast it to Kingdom Come first." Haruo then opened a plan for the Gotengo. Akira looked at Haruo.
"What are you doing now?"
"Making sure Godzilla feels more pain." Once he was finished he then showed Akira the design, the drill of the Gotengo was an attachment on the right arm as a bracer, the rest of the Gotengo was incorporated into a pack on the shoulders from which to fire deadly attacks. Akira only smiled.
"My my, you really are an Xilien at heart aren't you? Just obsessed with blowing things up."
"Do you think you can do something like this?"
"Possibly, making a Mechagodzilla can take years."
"Cram it down into a shorter amount of time." Haruo then walked over to the cockpit. Spending a few days in here got him familiarized with the tech and the location of everything. He sat down in the chair and started everything up. "Hikaru, we ready for launch?"
"Would it hurt to call me dad?"
"Yes,"
"Fine. We're ready for launch."
Haruo nodded, "Good." He pressed a button on the screen in front of him which started the engine. He then placed his hands on the two control sticks. He took a deep breath and then he slowly pushed forward on them, the Gotengo started to shake, it eventually moved forward and the drill started to spin. They made their way through several layers of rock and Earth before finally breaching the surface and taking off into the air. Akira looked at the display screen and just smirked.
"It's been years since I've seen the sun." He said, "Still as ugly as ever."
Meanwhile back at the village Metphies walked into the wooden shack of Haruo and Yuko's. Yuko spun around and looked at him, "Mm, it's nice to see you well again Yuko. We all presumed you had passed." He said.
"Yeah...but luckily the Toutua was able to help me."
"Mm." He started to walk towards her, "No scars? No bumps or bruises?"
"Um..." she started to back up, Metphies was making her a bit uncomfortable. "N-No..." She then backed up against the wall. "Just this...weird paint stuff on my face and body."
"I see." He then got really uncomfortably close to her, "I sense life." She swallowed hard, "May I?"
"Um..." Yuko wasn't sure what Metphies was about to do. She suddenly jumped when se felt Metphies place his hand on her stomach.
"Mm." Metphies said, "Strong. It must be Haruo's then." He then looked her in the eyes, "Do you know what Haruo is? I found out recently myself from Mothra who has been keeping tabs on him."
"Um..."
"Have you decided what you're going to name your baby girl?"
"...girl...?"
"Yes, you didn't know? The first born child of the Toutua is always a female."
"...um..."
"When you were saved you were reborn as one of them. A Toutua and a Tani, how remarkable."
"...Metphies you're making me-"
"Hush." He places a finger on her lips, "You mustn't disturb the peace within you. God has given you and Haruo the precious gift of life, Haruo is God, you are Mary, and your baby will be the new savior." A nervous bead of sweat dropped down Yuko's face, she never once fully interacted with Metphies, and she's glad she hadn't because he was kind of creepy and weird. "Which do you think Haruo will care more for? Raising a family..." he then leaned into her ear, "Or killing Godzilla?" Metphies then backed away and took his leave. Yuki stood there wondering if she had just been assaulted or if she had her religious teachings for the week. Either way, she now definitely knew she was pregnant.
She sat there in silence until suddenly she heard the sound of jets roaring and the entire house began to shake. She looked around, she heard chatter from outside. She ran outside, she looked in the air and saw the Gotengo overhead. She quickly joined up with the rest of the village where the Gotengo landed. A door came open followed by a ramp. Yuko pushes through all the people and finally gets to the front, once she gets there she sees Haruo step out of the Gotengo and back onto the soil. He was carrying Maina in his arms, "Haruo!" Yuko said, Haruo made his way to the crowd.
"Move! All of you! I have to get her to Miana!" Some elders grabbed Haruo and took him to where Miana was. Yuko then turned back to the Gotengo just as Akira was stepping out. Akira then walked down the ramp and up to Yuko, Yuko looked up at him and swallowed nervously at the sheer size of him.
"Ah, you must be Haruo's girlfriend." He said, he held his hand out to her, "The pleasure is all mine."
"Nice to meet you...and I'm his..." she shook his hand, "Well...I don't know what we are."
"Seems fitting."
Haruo then came to a room where Miana was, Miana laid on the ground on a mat. She was breathing in and out quickly, Haruo walked over to her and gently put Maina down next to her. Haruo then stood up and left the room. He then made his way to where Mothra was. "Mothra..." he bowed his head.
"Haruo, you're back. Did you find them?"
"I found Rodan...that's all...it wasn't too long before Maina got sick and I had to return."
"I see."
"But, we have the Gotengo now. We should be able to travel to places much faster."
"Mm," Mothra paused, "I sense conflict in you."
"Yeah...I don't want to talk about it."
"Your father...you've recently discovered him to be alive after you presumed him dead for all these years. Yeah I wouldn't want to talk about it either."
"Mm..."
"Haruo...go rest, I can tell you haven't slept in days. Besides, I think Yuko has a surprise for you."
"Alright...thank you." He bowed his head then left. Once arriving at the wooden house he was greeted by Yuko who was outside.
"Hey." Yuko smiles, she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss. Haruo then kissed back. Yuko let the kiss last for a while before she pulled away, "I'm glad you're home."
"Yeah..." he said, "Next time I go out, I want you to go with me, and the rest of the humans."
"Why?"
"The ship I came in...The Gotengo...it has enough living space for as all, plus it has plenty of food."
"I don't know, I'm now starting to like the taste of Servum."
"Is that all you ate?"
"It was that or insects, and the insects were the size of my palm so I passed."
"Mm..."
"You ok?"
"Just tired is all..."
"Then come inside and lay down." Yuko opened the door for him. Haruo walked inside, he then went and laid down on the mat. Yuko then sat beside him. "So listen...there's something I need to tell you..." She said with a blush and sort of shy smile.
"What is it?" He asked as he started to shut his eyes.
"Well...I don't know how you'll take it..."
"Just say it."
"Ok...well I mostly knew because of a hunch that I had...anyways...it took Metphies coming in here to confirm it."
"And that is...?"
"I'm pregnant." She said, "We're having a baby." She looked at him, "Isn't that great Haruo?" He did didn't respond, "Haruo?" She blinked, "Oh well, he must be tired." Yuko then sighed and then laid on her back.
