Mothership

The corridors and hallways were beginning to get covered in weirder rooms with weirder names. None of us can read these lanuguages, let alone any Earth ones, but somehow Mothra is capable of doing so. Might be that living with two fairies that translate everything she says finally began getting to her.

"These rooms," she began, "don't seem to be what we're looking for, but we're getting closer to the answer of our problem...I can feel it."

"What do those weird scribbles say?" I asked, still helping Big G stay up.

"Weird scribbles? Wha...? Oh, the words. They don;t say much, Just Incubation Chamber, Big Dangerous Weapons Arsenal, Navigational Room, Oxygen Destroyer Depot, Fashion Departm-Wait, wait, wait. Oxygen Destroyer Depot?"

"Isn't the oxygen destroyer the..."

"Ot's the thing that hurts like shit, and I almost died from one of them," Goji said.

"It destroys oxygen, though, shouldn't it have killed you?"

"You forgot we can regenerate ourselves?"

"Well, I know, but..."

"But...?"

"It killed you, didn't it? Then doesn't that mean that you're..."

"No, that bomb didn't kill me. If it did, none of my family would be here right now."

"Whatever you say."

Mothra continued to read the names of each room as we went by them, hoping to get a clue of what's going on here. We went past a couple Break Rooms, one Bathroom, a Place Where We Put Godzilla's Grandfather As In The One From The 70's Room...Oh, shit. We should have checked that out. Naahhh.

I'm just pulling your leg. We checked it out. Big G's Granddad was there, alright. He was locked up in a cage with bars that were so wide apart from each other that a fucking train could go through them, if said train was as big as us. We got him out of there, crushed more aliens and turrets, and continued our quest for the answer to our problem.

"So, lemme get this straight," G (which I'm calling his Granddad that now, to prevent confusion) said. "You want to go to a planet with high levels of radiation?"

"That's about the size of it," I replied.

"Hmm...Well, back in my time, Me and Rodan's Uncle Rody were abducted by some aliens and put on a new planet. We were there to duke it out with Ghidorah...there were lasers, and punches, and kicks, and a bunch of other stuff...good times. Man, was it full of radiation...So, uh, what planet are we going to?"

"What was that planet's name?" Mothra inquired. "The one you went to?"

"I didn't quite catch the name, but everyone called Planet X. Jeez, I guess creativity was just a-flowing with these guys, y'know? Heh..."

"Planet X...X...Puh-Lan-Net Ecks...Hmm...hmmhmmhmm...Why does that sound familiar to me? Where did I..." she was thinking hard.

"Well, if I recall," G started, "Planet X was the home of the Xiliens, so I guess if we find some sort of navigation system, we could find a way to input that we want to go the the Xillien homeworld, there's a chance we'll find ourselves heading to Plant X, assuming they never changed their home planet. Then again, they could have lied to us and said their home was Planet X, but it was really in another place. Oh, decisions, decisions..." We all stopped to look at him.

"G," Mothra says, "did anyone ever ask you how you can be so ignorant at one minute, and the next you're a damn genius?"

"Huh?"

"Exactly! You're trapped in a cage that you could have walked out of, but you didn't. You then ignore the fact that you mentioned a planet high in radioactivity. Suddenly, you make a great point that actually could make sense."

"Well, I was staying in that cage out of respect. I felt kind of bad about the aliens and how their plans go awry, so I just played along with them, experiments included...No, I didn't really. Sheesh, don't look at me like that."

"So, you're smart but act stupid?...There's no time for this, guys. We're changing our plan a little bit. Let's find some sort of navigational room."

"Actually," Anguirus said, "I think I saw one of those way back there, in the hallway with the Oxygen Destroyer Room."

"...What?"

"You even said it yourself."

"I...did?" She began dong the thing she does where she tilts her head around. I think that's how she tries to remember sometimes, especially important things. "I did! We need to get back over there, and fast!"

We quickly retraced our steps back to the hallway containing those hatches. Yep, they were still there, being hatches with labels.

"Okay," Mothra continued, "So Me and G are going to go in there, and see if we can figure out how to work the navigation device, asuuming it's what I think it is..."

"I thought you knew everything that has and is happening, so wouldn't you know what it looks like?" I asked.

"Well, I can, but, for some reason, this ship seems to slip my powers. You remember when I told you that, right?" Oh yeah, when she was damaged real bad. Good times...good...times...

"Yeh, I remember now...Don't you think we should come in with you guys? I mean,just in case something happens to you?"

"...Okay, so, we're all going in there, and me and G are going to try to figure out the navigation device."

We all agreed to it, and we all went into the dark room. Just before the hatch closed on us, I heard someone say very quietly, "I'm not done with you guysh yet."
