Chapter 10: Canon Update 2

Hello! It's been a bit since the last canon update was made and since some major events and major characters have arrived I feel like another one is necessary. These chapters are not necessary to the story, they only enhance it. I will release a regular chapter later this week. Stay tuned.

.

Aftermath of Siberia: After Godzilla, Mothra, and Battra left Siberia, the wreckage of Mechagodzilla was stripped apart. Anything that could be salvaged was taken and the rest was hauled back to base for disassembly. Using the blackbox data, Wells began to design a new robot that would be more powerful than anything living on Earth. Project Kiryu was started.

Godzilla's severed arm: After the Anti-Kaiju missiles blew off Godzilla's right arm, it landed in the snow nearby. Apex recovered it and has taken a large amount of samples. Bone marrow, blood, tissue, DNA, and scale just to name a few. The samples were also sent to Monarch for further analysis. There is where something shocking was discovered. A virus. A virus that has the capability to wipe out any living creature on Earth. Those you who read my first fanfiction already know of this virus but for those who didn't, this virus, known as the Muto Virus, targets and eliminates any and all Y chromosomes in the egg and sperm cells of any living creature. This is what caused the near extinction of all of the Kaiju species. Godzilla is the last living male of his kind. Mothra's species took the brunt of the virus and because of it they learned to reproduce asexually. Battra was the first naturally born male in over 1,000 years. Some species, like the Rodos, were not hit as hard as the other Kaiju.

This virus spreads through bodily fluids, and through reproduction. If a female embryo is created, it will contain the virus. Monarch identified this virus in Godzilla's blood samples. The World Health Organization, or WHO, was notified immediately and was told that this virus will destroy humanity if a vaccine is not created. Luckily, since the virus is not as resistant to gene modification like other viruses, a vaccine is a very likely possibility. The US officially announced that this virus exists only 1 day after this virus was detected. Although no humans are infected, anyone who lives near or around the ruins of cities was to evacuate immediately. It is not known if this virus originates from the Mutos, or if it surfaced when they began the war, but several conversations from Gigan have told them the reason why it's called the Muto Virus. Currently all alive Kaiju and Mutos have the virus.

Gigan: During the Battle of Siberia, Gigan was not deployed because Wells didn't want to risk him being destroyed. Gigan is the only link the humans have to the Kaiju world. If he were killed, the humans would have no-one. Instead Gigan was training in one of Apex's many underground facilities.

Jaeger production: The Alpha class jaegers have been a resounding success. With over 50 confirmed Muto kills, the 12 active jaegers across the world have reduced the number of Muto attacks 10 fold. However, there have been setbacks. One jaeger, Azure Diamond, battled the newly arrived Scylla Aegean sea just outside of Greece. Several large gashes and stabs left the jaeger in crippling condition. Scylla was only brought down by the jaeger self destructing. Both the kaiju and jaeger pilot were killed in the explosion. Nothing of the jaeger could be salvaged. It's melted chassis lies in the water along with Scylla's carcass. After the virus was discovered, Scylla's body was removed and placed in the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Repository.

Godzilla's new arm: Godzilla's new arm is exactly like his old one, but with one major difference: it is a lighter shade of grey. The reason why his arm is a lighter shade of grey is because the flesh is newer. When a Goji species is born, they are light grey in color. Over time the flesh darkens and changes color to the normal dark grey that we know today. Godzilla can't help but feel that the color change could symbolize his battle with Mechagodzilla and how he was at his mercy.

Battra's current state: After being betrayed by humanity, Battra has made it his mission to destroy them once and for all. Not only has he been making his Mutos breed more frequently, but he is attempting to form an alliance with the Kaiju Court. The reasoning behind this is because humanity almost killed the royal couple and have killed many kaiju who defended humanity against the Mutos. Although the Court has pulled their kaiju back and have changed feelings on humanity, they do not want humanity to be destroyed. But as more and more kaiju are killed both sides agree to an alliance to "Contain" the humans. In response Apex begins the finalization of the Beta class of jaegers.

Beta class jaegers: Although similar in appearance, the Beta class jaeger has many notable differences. With Anti-Kaiju missile batteries in the shoulders, Prong blades in the forearms, and the ability to jump, the Beta jaegers are entirely different. Smaller but still functional AI units are implanted inside of each jaeger to enable an easier piloting experience. When Kiryu is finished, he will be able to link to these AI and command them like troops. The first of these new jaegers are scheduled to be completed when Kiryu is fully constructed.

Kiryu's development: Kiryu's development has been rapid. With a chassis similar to Mechagodzilla, his construction is coming along smoothly. The prototype Absolute Zero Canon has been completed and is being mounted to the chest. The AI is nearing completion and has been estimated to be sentient. This is a first for humanity and will be the trial to see if sentient AI should continue to be developed or scrapped entirely.

Other random facts and events: Rodan has been keeping the Pacific Ocean and all the countries inside of it free from Mutos. Most of his action is in the Philippines. He received a deep gash on one of his wings from a Jaeger but Mothra helped him out.

Godzilla's panic attacks and PTSD have begun to subside. Although he still worries about Mothra all the time he doesn't break down as often anymore. The road to recovery is often said to be paved with tears.

Alpha Criterion was destroyed in the city of Dubai by Battra. The pilot's body was never recovered.

Gigan has completely lost his sanity. He is only faithful to Apex and no-one else. Gigan has often toyed with the idea of deserting Apex and conquering the world but he is punished severely whenever he thinks of this idea. He is also getting very tired of being told what to do.

Battra has recovered large swathes of information about everything Apex has hidden from the public. Gigan is someone who interests him incredibly. Soon, Battra will meet this Gigan and set him free. Battra has plans. Plans for a Legion of Doom.

Author's note: I was going to release this canon update last week, but my town suffered a power outage for 3 days and I couldn't use my computer. The chapter I had in the works has been delayed to later this week. Also because Spring Break is next week I will be able to write more often. A major story arc is beginning. The Legion of Doom is coming.

Random: I have begun playing DOOM 2016 yesterday and I am very impressed. The story, the gore, and the graphics are all fantastic. Once I finish that game I will get DOOM Eternal and grind that for a bit. Also I know the title "Legion of Doom" is used by DC for their own evil group but I liked the name and it fits all the characters that will be in it so I am going to use it.
