Haruo woke up in a house. He was lying in a bed, he groaned and rubbed his forehead. He sat up , he heard birds chirping. He got out of bed and walked over to the closet, the closet was full of clothes. He grabbed a suit and white shirt and put it on. He left the couple of top buttons undone. He then walked downstairs, he smelled coffee. As he came down the stairs he saw the back of Yuko's head, she was standing by an open window. "Yuko...?" She started to turn around, Haruo then saw Godzilla out the window behind her. "No!" He reached his hand out and everything around him was destroyed. Tears streamed down his face, all Haruo could hear was people screaming. He turned around, people were running with the bodies completely engulfed in flames, pieces of buildings fell. Haruo stepped backwards, his face twisted at the stench of death. He looked at his feet and saw burnt and melted corpses, soon the ground started to sink in. "What the hell...?!" Haruo was then swallowed by the ground. He sat up suddenly and gasped for air, he coughed a few times and looked around, he then felt a hand grab his throat and pull him onto his back. He looked over and saw Miana, half of her face was either melted or burnt off.
"Haru...oi..." She said weakly,
"Miana!" Haruo tried to move but couldn't.
"You...you..." She started to choke in between words, "You...could've saved...us..." her eyes then went gray and final breath left her mouth, "Why didn't you..."
"What? Why didn't I What?!" Haruo suddenly stood up. He heard several large crashes of thunder. Lighting struck the ground around him. Soon a heavy fog rolled in. He looked up and saw an enormous shadow, the flapping of wings was heard. One flap. Two flap. And then three. The third was followed be something immmense Lansing on the ground, Haruo looked up and saw three heads looking down on him, their eyes were orange and pierced the soul. Soon, Metphies words echoed through the air.
"Ghidorah."
The three heads turned to sky and let out massive thunder cracking roars. Haruo grit his teeth and put his hands over his hears. He shut his eyes for a moment before opening them again. When he opened his eyes he was standing on the moon, he turned around and saw the earth, Ghidorah flew overhead and went straight for Earth. "Haruo..." Haruo started hyperventilate, "Haruo...hey Haruo!!!!" Haruo woke up suddenly, his hand reached up and grabbed the throat of the person above him, he then spun and pinned them against the ground, "H-Haruo..." Haruo started to calm down a bit, his vision went from blurred to suddenly crystal clear.
"...Yuko..." he let go of her throat, Yuko then started to cough as she got her air back, "I'm sorry...I thought that-"
"Haruo..."
"What?"
"Get your knee off my chest..."
"Oh...sorry." Haruo then got off of Yuko. Yuko sat up and placed her hand on her chest. "I'm sorry...I..."
"You're fine...what happened?"
"I...I don't know...I had this dream only...it felt real..."
"Mm..." her eyes softened, she placed her hand on his shoulder, "Listen...it was just a dream, you're fine." She smiled at him, he looked at her and then looked away. "Something wrong?"
"Were you serious...?"
"When?"
"When you said...we were..."
"Having a baby?" Yuko said finishing his sentence. Haruo nodded. "..yeah, I was serious."
"...I need you to stay on the Gotengo from now own..."
"Why? I like it here."
"Yes...but after a certain point in time you'll need modern technology, the Gotengo has that."
"I know...but I like it here, the Toutua have a lot here that I've grown to love over the past few days."
"Yuko-"
"Haruo listen to me," She then sat in front of him and placed her hands on the sides of his face, "I'm ok. Nothing here could possibly hurt me. We have Mothra to protect us."
"But...isn't Mothra just a baby?"
"Yeah...But she can still protect us." She looked him in the eyes, "Please Haruo, just have faith in me. I'm fine. You're just stressing yourself out." Haruo looked down.
"Please...I can't...if something were to happen to you then I wouldn't-"
"Nothing is going to happen to me." She smiled, "It's really sweet that you're worried about me but everything is fine." He sighed, "Just loosen up, ok?" He just nodded. "Good."
"I should get going." Haruo said standing up, Yuko stood up with him.
"Going where?"
"I still need to find Anguirus and Baragon."
"I'll go with you. The other humans would probably like to go too."
"How many are left?"
"What?"
"The humans...how many of us are left?"
"Metphies...four men and two women...the rest all died from infections and Servum..."
"So there's only nine members of the human race left...?"
"...sadly yes."
"Gather them up, we leave now." Haruo then left for the Gotengo.
"Haruo..." Mothra's voice came. Haruo froze. "Haruo, I have to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"All the earths monsters...they're coming out of hiding."
"Why?"
"Because Godzilla is dying."
"So?"
"If you want any chance of saving the human race...then the other monsters will have to die too."
"How many are there?"
"Eight."
"But aren't you supposed to be on the side of life?"
"I am, but if you want humans to live back on Earth the rest of the monsters must die. Humans and monsters weren't meant to coexist."
"What about you?"
"I'm fine, I won't harm anyone so don't worry about killing me."
"Ok..."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm...lost...I'm conflicted..."
"Mm, like what?"
"Yuko...she's...I mean we're going to have a baby..."
"Yeah I know. What do you need help with?"
"I don't know wether to have her stay here with you guys or on the Gotengo. The Gotengo has modern medicines that she'll need...but..."
"She likes it here...hmmmmm" Mothra paused, "Well, Maybe here would be best for her. Especially since her immune system has built up a tolerance for the planet."
"...I just want her to have whats best for her and the baby..." Haruo then started to advance towards the Gotengo.
"Maybe give her a small taste of life on the Gotengo."
"Maybe..." As soon as Haruo reached the Gotengo he felt a ringing in the back of his head. He rubbed his temples. The door opened and the ramp came down to him.
"Haruo." Haruo turned around, "I have them all..." Yuko said, Haruo looked around at the few survivors. He also looked at Metphies.
"Mm..." he swallowed, "Look...the few of you that are left...you probably don't trust me. You have the right not too, because of me the human race is nearly extinct. But we now have the Gotengo here as well as a new ally, this ship is the key to killing Godzilla and ending this-" he felt something press on the back of his brain, "This-" he placed his fingers on the side of his head.
"Haruo...are you ok?"
"I'm fine..." he said as the pressure was relieved, "Let's go...follow me only if you want to live in a world without Godzilla, otherwise die like the rest." Haruo then turned and walked onto the ship where he was greeted by Akira.
"Captain."
"Can it Akira."
The humans and Metphies all looked at Yuko. "Is he alright?" Metphies asked, Yuko shook her head.
"I don't know...he woke up from a rather nasty dream a few minutes ago and he hasn't been himself since."
"Do you trust him?"
"Of course I do." She then turned to them, "But if the rest of you don't then that's fine, but look Haruo told me that there is food on that ship, food and maybe clean water. So I'm going to follow him." Yuko then turned and walked onto the ship with the humans following behind her. Yuki smiled as she took a deep breath of clean air. She then turned and saw Haruo.
"So you all came..." Haruo said, "Good. I'll show you to the showers." Haruo showed them to the shower room. "If you need me I'll be in the command center." Haruo then left.
Yuko stood there in the shower. She let the warm water hit her face and then trail down her body letting herself just unwind. She ran her hands through her hair, she then placed her hands on the back of her head and sighed. "Why do you do it?" The in the stall next to her asked.
"Do what?"
"Trust Haruo so easily...?"
"I love him that's why."
"But why...? He got so many of us killed...my dad...my brother...my boyfriend they're all dead."
"...I know...everyone is dead...I ask myself why I trust him every day...I don't know...he's just-" Yuko didn't know how to finish, "He was always nice to me...I forgave him easily...but I took some words he said to heart and I nearly got killed myself...but he saved me and told me he-"
"He what? Loves you?" She sighed, "Haruo Sakaki is not one capable of love...since the day his parents died he's been nothing but hard and cold and bitter."
"People change..." Yuko then turned her head and opened her eyes looking at the girl next to her. She had brown eyes and long black hair.
"Yeah...they change, and sometimes they don't." She said, "As long as I've known him...he's just stayed the same, he's never smiled, never once told anyone sorry...he just isn't human."
"I see..."
"I'm Umika...nice to meet you." She said reaching her hand over the stall. Yuko took her hand.
"Yuko..."
"Mm, and the other girl is Kairi." She said pointing to the girl across the way. Her hair was brown and was a little past shoulder length. "She doesn't talk much."
"I see..."
"Metphies tells me that you and Haruo are expecting."
"Metphies needs to learn to keep things to himself." Yuko said shutting off the shower, she grabs the towel next to her and starts to dry off her hair. "I mean, he was weird about it, he was all religious and what not."
"He is weird isn't he, he learns to find God in just about everything."
"Ain't that the truth." Yuko said with a small laugh, she wrapped the towel around her body.
"Mm, he's probably in the showers with the men right now all like," Umika clears her throat, "Thou shalt not drop the soap or else thy shall receive the purification of God!" Yuko covered her mouth and started to laugh. Umika laughed too, "I mean seriously, there was one time he asked if I under Satan's wrath all because I told him to shut his mouth."
"I see, well I'm going to go get dressed now. I'll talk to you later."
"See ya!" Yuko then left the stall and went into the changing room that was attached to the shower room. The room has a blue hue to it, there was a platform in the center of the room for sitting and all around the room were drawers and closets. She went to one of the drawers and opened it, there was underwear inside but only for plus sizes. She looked around the room until she finally found some underwear her size. She put them on and then went to the closets. Inside there were black tank tops and compression shorts, on the other side of the closet was what looked to me a flight uniform, it was black and had silver highlights and trimmings.
Yuko grabbed the available clothes in the closet and then went and sat down and started to put them on. "So you're Yuko." Hikaru's voice came. Yuki jumped straight up and looked around, she grabbed some of the clothes and covered herself, she looked around sharply, "Don't worry, I can't see you here. It's just my voice."
"Who are you?" She asked slightly easing up a bit.
"My name is Hikaru, I'm Haruo's father and I've just uploaded my consciousness to the Gotengo's database."
"His...dad?"
"Yes."
"Ok...how'd you know it was me?"
"I recognized your voice, I was the one that linked your communicators not too long ago."
"I see..."
"Ah,"
Yuko swallowed, she then started to get dressed. She put the compression shorts on and then the pants. She pulled on the tank top before finally speaking, "I'm in love with your son."
"I know." He said, "He's in love with you too. He's just too stubborn to willingly admit to it."
"I see," she put the jacket on and then zipped it up. "Did he tell you our news...?"
"What news?"
"We're having a baby."
"That's nice." He said, "You can't tell from my voice but I'm actually happy. If there was a screen anywhere then we could talk face to face."
"There should be one in my room, that is if Haruo bothered to show me where it is."
"I can take you there." The door from the dressing room to the hall opened.
"Alright," Yuko then walked into the hall.
"Just follow the lights."
"Mm." She nodded and did as she was told, "So where are you from?"
"Oh, you know just here and there. Doesn't really matter...but our physical house is about a days walk from here."
"I see."
"What about you?"
"Oh...I was born in space."
"Ah, a Star Baby."
"Yeah, so I'm a little unfamiliar with Earth outside of why my parents have told me."
"And where are your parents from?"
"Okinawa."
"It's beautiful there, my wife and I went on our honeymoon there."
"Is your wife with you?"
"No, she died sadly."
"I'm sorry." Yuko reaches her room, the door opens and she walks inside. She looks around for a screen, she then finds a tablet on the table. She picks it up and Hikaru's face appeared on it.
"Oooh..."
"What?"
"Haruo never told me you were beautiful."
Yuki blushed, "Oh...um...thanks," she smiled, "I mean...you look like Haruo..." she paused, "Only really old..."
He laughed, "Yes, I am very old." He then took a better look at her face, "The markings on your face, what are they?"
"Oh, the Toutua put those there. Everyone in their tribe has them."
"Do they come off?"
"Not really. But I like them."
"Mm."
Meanwhile Haruo was in his room. He laid on the bed trying to sleep but couldn't. He started to sweat heavily, his throat became dry, he started to breathe hoarsely. He coughed and coughed again, he rolled onto his back and rugged on his hairs, he was under some sort of strange power. He opened his eyes and they suddenly flashed green, he heard a pop in the back of his brain and suddenly he started to relax. "Ghidorah...is coming..."
Back in Yuko's room Yuko was just laughing away. "Awwww, Haruo was the cutest kid!" She said as the last home video of Hikaru's finished playing. "It's a shame he grew up to be so dense."
"Mm, he's just taking in a lot at once."
"Yeah probably...your wife, she seemed delightful. I would have loved to meet her."
"I know for a fact that she's infuriated that she's not able to meet you, and now with a grand kid on the way she's probably screaming in her grave."
"Mm."
"Have you thought of a name for your baby?"
"Yeah...it's been a name that the Toutua have been calling me since I showed up."
"And what name is that?"
"Fairy."
"Fairy?"
"Yeah, I think it's cute." She said laying back on her bed.
"What if it's a boy?"
"Well I know for a fact that it's a girl. But if there was the possibility of it being a boy then I'd want to name him Daisuke."
"Both are good names."
"Yeah...my only problem is Haruo."
"Oh?"
"What if once I get into this he decides to leave?"
"He won't, if he loves you as much as you love him then there's nothing that can make him leave. Just give him some time."
"Mm..." Yuko responded, "I hope you're right."
A/N
Babam! Another chapter done! Anyways, in case you didn't catch the references in this chapter then I'll explain them.
First of all, Umika and Kairi. These are references to Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs Keisatsu Sentai Patranger where LupinRed and LupinYellow's civilian names are Kairi and Umika.
Next. The names that Yuko chose for baby names are also references. The name Fairy is a reference to the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy, the small Mothra that Lora and Moll ride around on is named Fairy. And then Daisuke, Daisuke is of course in reference to Daisuke Serizawa from the original Godzilla movie.
And a bonus reference is Akira. His character is modeled after The Aliens from the Black Hole Planet. But the name Akira and key traits of his personality are based on Akira Takarada.
Anyways yeah! Chapter 9! Ghidorah is coming! Time to round up the other monsters and have an all out monster brawl!
