Interlude- The Guardian, the Bold One, and the Bastard.

TRIGGER WARNING: Attempted Suicide and a serious mental breakdown in Deep Space section.

Monster Island.

Anguirus walked through the underbrush, knocking down various trees and at one point disturbing a Kamacuras who was eating one of the smaller creatures that lived on Monster Island. "Alright Mothra," he played out in his mind as he got closer and closer to the beach on the other side of the island, "I know you're hiding something, and you need to tell me what it is, because I know you saw something in that creature's mind. No that's too aggressive, or is it blunt? I can't tell." As the tree line ended and Angurius saw the edge of the water, along with the underwater cave and a few remaining crystals from Neo. He sat down and waited for Mothra to come up to him once again starting to talk to himself, "Alright Mothra, I saw you hiding something from your own son, so if your concerned about letting him know, why not let me and Junior know?" He silenced himself as he saw the Guardian of Earth fly right above him, then land gently and curl her legs underneath her. Her Shobijin flew out of her into separate directions, happy to be home and excited to taste fresh air in the sun's warm light. An awkward silence followed as both stared at each other, before Mothra broke it.

"What is it Angurius? What do you have to talk to me about?"

"Mothra…... did you know that I can tell when you are lying like you did back there?

"I did not."

"Did you see something when battling the creature? If so, you need to tell me and Junior, because we shouldn't keep things from each other, especially if another threat arrives in the future. I could care less about what goes on outside of my home, but I will defend it if it comes to that. So, tell me please." Mothra sighed deeply, putting her head down, and Angurius's brows furrowed, before he said, "Look, you don't have to tell me if it bothers you that much…..."

"When I first arrived at this island to settle on," Mothra reminisced as Anguirus tilted his head, listening closely, "I had been exhausted from diverting a meteor that was supposed to hit earth, and from carrying Leo for several years. So, after laying Leo's egg, I had fallen into a slumber to recharge my energy, and continue being the Guardian of Earth. I…. had a dream vision."

"I don't usually believe in that crap, but tell me," Angurius continued, observing Belvera judging him silently from a treetop while Moll was happily munching on a leaf and Lora was on the ground stalking a crab scuttling towards the water, "what did you see in the vision?"

"I saw events yet to come, ones that could lead to the Final War," Mothra collected herself, flapping her wings unconsciously, "First, I saw a device created by the humans…. destroy the air among them, and wipe them out. When I saw the creature that we faced in Junior's mind…... I put two and two together and figured out that the device I saw… created Destoroyah."

Angurius's eyes widened with shock, and putting one of his claws up to his face to think about what he wanted to say, he eventually spat out, "So, humans invented a device that would just remove the air like this? I didn't know they were so capable of destruction like that, why would they create an Oxygen Destroyer?"

"I don't know Angurius," Mothra sighed, with her face adorned with an exhausted expression, "Maybe it was meant to be used for beneficial reasons, and instead it turned out wrong, or maybe it was used as a weapon. Regardless, I believe these visions are telling me of creatures we are to face in the future, and since the first one came true with the advent of Destoroyah, the rest might have ground."

"What else did you see? Tell me."

"I saw… a dark violet liquid that consumed plant life and animals, reducing them to the bone, and a forest on fire, before it was reduced to nothing more than a wasteland. I saw the ocean boil and turn crimson red, and the meteor I had stopped turn metal, and a blade burst out of it. And then I saw…. Ghidorah."

Angurius let out a small gasp as Mothra looked at him solemnly, as the Shobijin, a few Kamacuari, the island's native wildlife, and a certain irritable resident of the underwater cave started gathering around at the mention of the word "Ghidorah." Angurius stayed silent for a long time, getting up to pace around, as his breathing became more erratic. Composing himself, Angurius turned around, and addressed Mothra once again. "My grandfather Baragurius has told me of him before. He always looked nervous when talking about him, as if uttering his very name would bring him to our home. Do you have any memories of him? Since you've mentioned you remember the Guardians of Earth, do you remember Ghidorah when you were Gigamoth?"

"While I may not have all of her memories," Mothra scratched at the ground, creating a small drawing with three heads, "I remember battling him as her, on what would be the end of the Age of the Monsters. I remember his cruel laughter…as he murdered innocent dinosaurs and kaiju alike," she angrily stamped her foot into the drawing she made as her eyes turned from blue to red, "I remember him slaughtering my tribe like animals, even the innocent larva who had done nothing yet! And I remember him…torturing Gigamoth, while forcing her to listen to the rest of the Guardians of Earth's dying screams!" Mothra began to glow with anger as the memories flooded back to her, and she rose up into the air firing out bolts of crimson energy, as her voice took on an eerie echo, "AND I REMEMBER HOW MOTHER EARTH SCREAMED AS HE DRAINED HER LIFE, BEFORE GIGAMOTH GAVE HER LIFE TO DEFEAT HIM!"

"MOTHRA! STOP!" cried Angurius as he rose up and pulled her in a hug as she began to crackle with more energy and began clawing at his face as the energy began to burn him and scorch the ground around them, turning the sand into glass. Ignoring the bleeding, Angurius held her closer and told her, "If and when Ghidorah returns, Junior and I will help you stop him for good, but you can't give into your rage, or it will destroy you. For the sake of Leo, don't do it. Please…" Mothra's eyes began to glow blue once again, and she stopped surging with energy. She began to quietly sob into Angurius's chest, while he ignored the burns she had given him and the cuts on his face.

"I-I-I'm so sorry…. It's so vivid, like I'm actually there, and knowing that Ghidorah might be coming back…... I'm so scared that he'll hurt my Leo…" Mothra continued to sob from stress before she composed herself and looked up at Angurius, with a sorrowful gaze, "I'm sorry Anguirus, I didn't mean to hurt you…."

"I can take it. I can take plenty of beatings. I don't think you need to worry about Ghidorah," Angurius reassured Mothra, brushing her face with his right claw and staring deeply into her eyes, "He'd have to get through you before he could lay a damn claw on Leo. A parent's job is to defend their child, even if it means giving something up in return…... my father didn't deserve that title, I would say my grandfather was the closest thing I had to a father."

"…. Did your father beat you Angurius?... I didn't mean to cause you distress…."

"…among other things…. I'm always fine in the end…"

Eventually, Angurius stopped embracing Mothra, as the crowd that had gathered stayed silent, before Mothra continued, "Ghidorah was not the worst thing that came of my vision, for I saw another creature, one that saw and communicated with me. And when I touched Destoroyah for a brief second in our battle, I heard the same voice in Its memories. Ghidorah was slain, and yet he lives, and so was Destoroyah, meaning that they are merely agents of what Destoroyah referred to as "The Master," no doubt a being who can create life and cause death on a grand scale. I don't know how truly omnipotent he is, but my visions point to him rising again. And when he does…... I fear the Final War will begin."

Angurius scratched at the ground, not sure how to respond, whereas the Shobijin flew towards Mothra, staying close to her, with Moll's eyes widened in fear, Lora growling softly, and Belvera charging up a prism beam, ready to defend her master's sister. The Kamacurai conversed amongst themselves, with chirps and screeches that no other monster could understand. The large red crustacean was lost in thought, before he asked, "So let me get this straight, you two lovebirds are convinced that more of those freaks are coming? Oh yeah, don't think because old Ebirah here stays in his horde the entire time that I don't notice what's going on above me."

"Lovebirds?!" Mothra exclaimed in surprise, as she and Angurius blushed furiously, "I hardly think we… never mind. Yes Ebirah, more of those "freaks" are coming, and they could very well attack this island. If it is at all possible, can we count on you to defend our home?"

"…..Nah…"

Angurius quickly ran forward and pushed the lobster into the water, who promptly disappeared into his cave and didn't come back out. Angurius laughed loudly and shouted, "YOU LIKE THAT? NOW YOU KNOW HOW THAT FEELS!" Walking back to Mothra, he then said, "We need to tell Junior about this, he deserves to know."

"Angurius…... we can't tell him yet, not now. The poor boy has a lot on his mind right now, we should wait until he is more at peace with himself. Even then, I feel like he and I still have a tense relationship."

"How so?"

"…...I am convinced that he thinks that I resent him for living, while my brother died fighting his father…"

Angurius clutched her front claw, his movement surprising both him and Mothra, while the Shobijin watched, and asked her calmly, "…Do you Mothra?"

"…No…. Never… He's been extremely good to Leo, and I am grateful my son has someone around his age to be with, although I fear that he will have to take over my role as Guardian of Earth before he is ready."

Angurius sighed deeply, before he responded, "Why don't we go check on them? It wouldn't hurt at all." Mothra nodded, and taking off into the air, she flew back to where she had left her son, with the Shobijin following behind, and Angurius trailing in the jungle below. When both reached the other beach, Mothra landed next to Angurius and both watched as they saw Junior sleeping peacefully, with Leo curled up right next to him. Mothra got a little bit closer to Angurius, almost brushing him with her soft fur, as he asked her one thing, "They look so peaceful together right now. Mothra, do you think they will be able to face these challenges?"

Mothra answered, "I think they will. I believe they can." She truly believed it in her heart that they would no doubt be able to prevail, no matter how terrible the situation became. At the same time, Angurius himself noticed a strange feeling that he had only felt twice before, along with Mothra, who also shared a similar feeling, with the word "Lovebirds" repeating in her mind. They felt so calm together, and yet they both felt like there might be something more to how they viewed each other. Both tried not to look at each other, and ignored a burgeoning sense that the other might be… a possible mate.

As the Guardian of Earth and the last Angilas looked at the peaceful sight of the son of Godzilla and the son of Mothra slumbering peacefully, both thought about the future. They hoped that this peace would last for as long as it needed to, because while the battle was won, the war was only beginning.

And Mothra knew…... that the world would never be the same after this conflict.

Deep Space: One month after the battle.

…..Murderer…..Murderer…Murderer…..Murderer…..Murderer….

The words rang through Neo's head as he landed on a small planetoid, his search being ever more fruitless. Ever since the events on Earth, he had been on a long search for The Master, or rather the being that had attempted to force him into a deal that no doubt would've ended badly for him. Neo couldn't lie… he was starting to grow frustrated and no matter how much he tried to hide it, he was still distressed over what he had learned.

…..Murderer…..Murderer…Murderer…..Murderer…..Murderer….

"S-s-shut u-u-up…" The voice in his head kept repeating that phrase, and he punched the ground multiple times, in an effort to silence the taunting words. He could feel crystals sprout out of the ground as his energy crystals surged with energy, no doubt being caused by his frustration. "STOP IT! I didn't know…. Oh god…. I didn't know…."

…..Murderer…..Murderer…Murderer…..Murderer…..Murderer….

"…..How could I be so pathetic?..." Neo looked at his reflection in one of the crystals he had spawned, and punched it with enough force to cause his fist to bleed. "You shouldn't have even existed in the first place," one of his reflections told him, causing him to fire a corona beam and blow up another crystal. "Life would've been better without you," another reflection stated, "In fact I wouldn't even be surprised if you were partially responsible for your father's horrible death." Neo fired another corona beam as his reflections kept taunting him, one even saying, "It's a shame the destroyer didn't end your life….. because nobody would miss you, and nobody even loved you. The universe would be better had you not existed." The reflections started laughing as Neo destroyed more and more crystals, which sprouted faster and faster. And those damned words ran through his mind, and became louder and louder.

…..Murderer…..Murderer…Murderer…..MURDERER…..MURDERER….

"SHUT UP!" Neo screamed as he unleashed a large burst of energy, disintegrating the rest of the crystals. As the crystals' particles drifted all around him, Neo couldn't take it anymore, and began to sob as he collapsed to the ground, and began to punch it repeatedly, bloodying both of his fists. Maybe the voices were right….. maybe the universe would've been better off without him. Maybe his father wouldn't had died such a horrible death, and maybe his brother could've been happy. "Why? Why do I screw everything up? Why do I feel so lost? What is…..my purpose?"

…..NEO…..KILL YOURSELF… KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL….

Another voice became present in his mind, much more guttural and deeper than his usual voice, as he heard his heartbeat increase. This voice repeated the same phrase over and over again, as out of the corner of his eye, Neo almost thought he saw a face, one that resembled old human statues found on a island with pitch black eyes. It was not The Master for sure, but rather something else that wanted him. Neo could've defended himself if he wanted too, but he still continued to sob, as the creature came closer and closer, its spider-like legs becoming visible as well.

…..END YOUR LIFE…YOU MURDERER….AND COME TO ME…NEO….

"Maybe…. I should end my life… nobody would know…. and the universe….. would be better off," Neo continued to sob, as he glanced down at his bloody and broken hands. He transformed one into a crystal blade, and looked at its sharpness, wondering if it was sharp enough to cut through his hide, or if it would take much more to end his life. He could see the other getting closer and closer, smiling as Neo slowly moved the blade towards his second brain, intending to spill out his innards on the floor. "I'm… sorry Mothra… I wasted my chance." Then another voice became present, breaking Neo out of his trance, and upon realizing what he was about to do, quickly retracting the blade.

"BEGONE DEVIL! GO BACK FROM WHENCE YOU CAME!"

This voice sounded like a woman's voice, but Neo couldn't see where it was coming from, nor who exactly it was. He could hear a terrible screeching, as the creature he saw out of the corner of his eye disappeared. He looked around to find where the voice was coming from, but couldn't see the source.

"Look behind you."

As Neo turned, he noticed a kaiju that was just a little bit taller than him, and was waiting patiently for him to notice her. She was gigantic, with strange orange pulsing light in the center of her body. She had four tendril-like appendages, each ending in a flytrap kind of mouth, along with a row of leaf like dorsal plates. In fact, she herself resembled a plant, with the exception of her head, which resembled that of a crocodile, but with glowing red-orange eyes, several large tusks, and a maw with rows and rows of teeth. One name ran through Neo's mind, a name that seemed to be familiar. "Biollante?"

"Why yes, that is my name…. my son…."

"Wh-what?"

"Well, it was my spores that helped bring you to life, along with Godzilla's blood, and my essence was carried by the Guardian of Earth, so I think without my spores, you wouldn't have existed," Biollante smiled, showing off her rows and rows of teeth, "And I became a part of you, Neo."

"But… you must be…"

"Dead? Hah! I have merely transcended to a higher form of being, and shed the flesh of my mortal form. Regardless, I did not complete my mission to kill Godzilla, so it fell on you Neo, to finish it. And yet here you are," Biollante stopped grinning as a serious expression overtook her face, "I don't know exactly why, but why would you take your own life, when you've been given a second chance?"

"That monster that you drove away…..what was it?"

"Well, despite going off subject, I tell you my darling boy. What you almost witnessed is a creature called the Shadow of RED, the ruler of Zenith. Had I been just a little later, he might have taken you. Now answer my previous question, why would you waste this chance?"

Her voice seemed warm, not quite as warm as Mothra's could be, so Neo answered her truthfully, "I… felt like I had screwed everything up by going to Earth in the first place. I was under the impression that Godzilla was a threat. And recently, I only discovered he had… changed a lot. He had finally found the inner peace he so desired, and I…. had killed a lot of humans to get to him. I tormented his son, my brother, in order to draw him out, possibly scaring his mind for life. I may have caused him….. to die horrifically….. oh god! It's all my fault…"

"And what happened before you decided to end your life? I am quite curious as any mother should be," Biollante grinned, showing off her toothy maw again, as she moved closer and put her vines around him, "Tell me."

"I was searching for a being called the Master, someone who had attempted to force me into a deal when I was on my pointless quest to kill Godzilla. He had told me that if I accepted his deal, he would help me kill Godzilla. I refused, and it led me into a battle with one of his former followers, Destoroyah. It almost killed me, had it not been for the kindness of Mothra, who claims that I had a choice. I've been searching for a while now, because I feel as if the Master is a bigger threat to the universe than Godzilla ever was….. but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find him. I don't know what to do now, except…"

"May I glance into your memories my baby boy? Maybe I can help you find your purpose, and put these thoughts to ease." As Biollante said this, Neo felt one of her vines creep closer to his head, and he silently nodding, feeling like he had nothing left to lose. After a long silence, Biollante finished looking into his memories, and addressed Neo, "Hmmmm… I can't seem to find anything that can help you find a new purpose."

"So, does that mean… I am truly lost?"

"No, rather I see it as an opportunity for you to do something else entirely, something that I never had the chance to do. Why don't you go back to Earth, and seek out Mothra, and her…...friends?"

"Wh-what? Why?"

"Perhaps they can help you find your new purpose, and your state of mind. The gift of life is something that you should never waste, and something that can never truly be replaced. Before I became as you see me now," Biollante continued, as she sat her son down, and stared at the stars with him, "I… was human once."

"Wait, I've seen a human woman before in a memory that isn't mine. Was that….."

"Yes. I was called Erika Shiragami, and I was a botanist, which is a human occupation that involves plants," Biollante reminisced, "I worked with my father, until the day a terrorist bombed the facility we worked at, killing me in the process."

"The rose in my memories, calling for her father… was that you?"

Biollante, still staring at the stars, answered, "My father couldn't move on after what happened, and so he sought to keep my alive, no matter how unethical it was considered to be. You see, humans have a silly little notion that trying to bring someone back to life is unethical, despite being willing to take other's lives. In many ways, I was given the gift of life back, and like you I had a second chance to live again, even if it was in the form of one of my roses. However, my father in a misguided attempt to achieve immortality for me, merged some of Godzilla's blood with the rose, and it turned me into a beast. At first, I was in agony, knowing that I shouldn't have been alive, and I cried for help, praying that someone would come to help me."

Neo shuddered as he remembered the rose in his memories crying out for help, finally understanding how she got to be like that, before he asked, "But how did you end up looking like this?"

"Godzilla came to where I was, for he was on his vengeful quest to punish humanity for their sins," Biollante put her head down, silently remembering when he arrived, "I panicked, and we fought, until he blasted me with an atomic ray, leading me to mutate into what you see before you. Because of that, I also lost my mind to the bestial side of me, who was much more aggressive and cold-hearted, and lacked my humanity."

"LET ME GO YOU BITCH!" Godzilla screamed as the beast wrapped her vines around him, firing off his atomic ray rapidly.

"What's the matter? Afraid of a plant! You're not so mighty after all," the beast grinned, as she fired off an acidic sap, and put her maw over his head, "How about I bite off your head, so you can shut up?!"

"…Just as planned… TAKE THIS!" The beast screamed as an atomic ray came out of the back of her head, and Godzilla laughed as he fell into the ocean, not caring at being poisoned, but being overjoyed that he won. As the flames consumed her, Biollante could feel that the beast was no longer in control, and as she started to transformer into glowing tiny spores, she said only one last thing.

"Goodbye, father…"

"Eventually, we battled again, and my body was so badly damaged, that I ascended into spores, to drift through space forever, until you were created. I am a part of you now, and I hope that you realize that, you are not alone."

Neo realized right then that Biollante had disappeared, and was now merely talking to him from his mind, "So, should I head back to Earth, and try to find my purpose there….. Biollante?"

"Of course, Neo, and never forget that I will always be with you, no matter what path you choose to take."

Neo stood up, and after feeding off a nearby star, began to change into his flying mode to make the long trek back to Earth. In all honesty, he had gotten lost while searching for The Master, and he knew that while The Master was still out there, he might be in his crosshairs. "I can't believe I fell to such a low level," Neo thought as he watched the distant stars fly past him, "I'm sorry Mothra, for almost wasting my second chance. I've got to do better from now on, especially when it comes to finding my purpose. I hope on Earth I can find what I am looking for, because right now… I feel so lost. Thank you…Mom. I don't know what would've done without you coming to save me. I promise you, I won't waste my life now, and I will work to right my sins from the past, even if I don't deserve forgiveness."

Neo flew on, making his way back to the earth, with a new outlook on life. Perhaps had he looked into his mind, he would've noticed Biollante smiling.

Author's Note: So, this was a difficult chapter to write, as I have dealt with similar breakdowns in the past, mostly brought upon by stress. However, I think it is important to note that I have never had suicidal thoughts, and that I am mentally fine. Regardless, the reason for this chapter's existence is simple, as all of this was meant to be in the last chapter, but I figured that it would be better to make it separate, so I wouldn't have to worry about finding a good ending for the chapter. That being said, I am overall very happy with this chapter, especially with Biollante, or rather the part of Biollante in Neo. You will see her more in the future, although with my schedule getting more erratic, it might take longer for chapters to come out. Anyways, here is the cast, along with some new additions.
