Chapter 20: Battra and Kiryu
.
Kiryu had begun to reconstruct his armor.
Using the now solidified pile of unobtainium that was poured on him, he began to carve chunks of it off and melt it down in the forge inside of the jaeger facility. Within just a few days after taking over the place, he had transformed it into his lair. After melting down all the metal he needed he used the rest to cast himself a throne to sit upon. It seemed that Kiryu had managed to piece himself back together again. Well, mostly.
The massive artificial diamond that powered his absolute zero cannon had been destroyed during its firing sequence. Unable to obtain another one, Kiryu just removed the ability to fire anything out of his chest and instead figured out how to vent the pent up stores of energy inside of him into a beam of energy that resembles Godzilla's atomic breath. Although Kiryu's new triple hyper maser cannon pales in comparison to the absolute zero cannon, it can still pack a punch.
As Kiryu was rebuilding himself, his army was raising hell on Earth. With over 120 active jaegers across the globe all activating at once in cities across the globe, humanity asked themselves one question: where is the Kaiju Court? Well, after this event, there was no more Kaiju Court.
Godzilla woke up the night this all went down to find his camp in chaos. Fires everywhere and the loud slamming of metal on flesh rang in his ears. Upon exiting his cave he saw dozens of jaegers fighting his friends. All the kaiju he had fought with through the bitter end, all the friends he had left, the small army he had left, had been shrunk to three members. Godzilla, Mothra, and Anguirus. That morning, all the three did was bury their friends who had passed on, and then cried for them. Godzilla had never seen Anguirus cry before but now he has.
The Legion of Doom however, was untouched. Kiryu made sure of it. He needed them and they needed him. And now, with the world in flames and with all their enemies being snuffed out, Battra, Gigan, and Rodan travel to meet Kiryu face to face.
Battra lands outside of Kiryu's lair with a loud thud. Dust and ash swirls into the air underneath his wings. Behind him the roar of Gigan's thrusters and the heavy flapping of Rodan's wings announce their arrival. The trio adjust themselves and begin to approach the metal fortress.
Kiryu had heard their approach but chose not to attack them. He knew these kaiju were different from the others. As he was fidgeting with his newly reattached plasma cannon he glanced up to see the three kaiju walking towards him. Kiryu grins and then hops off his throne. He retracts his cannon and walks towards Battra. Gigan and Rodan halt their march and watch as the two begin to approach each other. The two stop in front of each other. Battra clacks his pincer and tucks his wings behind him. Kiryu's new dorsal plates ripple like waves and make a rattling sound. Battra is the first to speak.
"Truly fascinating, just what a detailed mind can accomplish. They never suspected it. You became the one thing you were born to destroy. A cancer among cells. A friend turned enemy. A god...among men. You are Kiryu. The end result of humanity's very curses and sins among Earth. But together, we can rid Earth of this plague. Together, we can wipe Godzilla and his force from Earth. Together...we can be gods…"
Battra raises his wings and one of his front legs. Kiryu rattles his dorsal plates and smiles at him.
"There was a reason why I spared your Legion of Doom from the purge Battra, and it was because only together can we transform this world into something that suits our ideals. There is no room for humanity or the kaiju. Only together can we truly save the world from itself. Only together can we become gods."
Kiryu extends one of his hands. Battra clasps it. The bond is sealed. Kiryu has joined the Legion of Doom.

Author's note: Sorry for the shorter chapter. It was done for two reasons. The first being the simple fact that the next chapter has a different tone than this one and if I were to write this one into that chapter it will be very rough and not very put together. The second being the fact that work is taking up a lot of my time to write and I can't get chapters out at my normal times. But besides these setbacks I will continue to post as often as I can. The next chapter will be a canon update and I will have it up soon. As always share and like this story and stay tuned.
Random: I don't know why but I am fantastic at getting carried away while talking. I can go from talking about normal stuff like music and in about 5 minutes I will be rambling about the problems with our governments and lives. I get so off track that it's hilarious.
