Chapter 27: Samples
Kiryu had finally returned from his expedition. Stored within him were all the genetic samples he could acquire but one. Godzilla's DNA was still needed. He needed living G Cells to continue with his experiments. Just as Kiryu deactivates his thrusters and lands with a metallic thud on the floor below Battra snakes out of the shadows to meet him. Kiryu retracts his thrusters back into his body and gazes at the little black moth.
"Where have you been Kiryu? You can't just disappear on me. We have things we need to discuss."
"I was scouting potential excavation sites for more unobtainium ore. We need it for our bomb."
"I see. Well how did it go?"
"Fine. A new site has been discovered and I sent some of my jaegers there to begin excavating. Soon we shall receive our first shipment of raw unobtainium ore. Now what do you need to discuss with me?"
"The status of our forces. Our armies have stalled. The humans have chosen to ally with Godzilla and his mate. Even though we are far stronger they still manage to hold the line. We need a new plan."
Kiryu looks down and fidgets with one of his arms. He retracts the armor panel and fiddles with his inner components. A couple sparks fly. He looks back up at Battra.
"I have a suggestion...although controversial in a way. Why don't we mix our forces? The brute force of the mutos combined with the swift mobility of the jaegers would make for an unstoppable force. But...that's just my opinion."
Battra scratches the underside of his head. He turns around and clacks his pincer.
"I feel like that would work...but my mutos don't seem to care much for the jaegers. After all, they were built to kill them."
"Yes, but now they serve me. The only way our army will become stronger is if they coexist. It is the only way forward."
Battra turns back towards Kiryu.
"I see. You mentioned that you needed more unobtainium for the oxygen destroyer. What else do you need?"
Kiryu pauses for a moment.
"A lot of other things. Large amounts of micro oxygen, a nuclear device for the detonation sequence, and G Cells. The cells must be retrieved from none other than Godzilla himself."
Battra squints his eyes.
"And they must be alive."
"I see. I will send some mutos to retrieve the nuke. Go and get those cells but be careful. Your previous form fought Godzilla but you haven't. Your death would be rather...unfortunate."
Kiryu squints his eyes at Battra's words.
"I will do my best. Upon my return we will begin construction of our weapon. Until then."
Kiryu turns around and extends his thrusters. And after the roar of their engines, Kiryu's shiny metal figure is shot into the sky towards Godzilla. He would arrive at his location less than an hour later.
Godzilla heard the roar of the engines above. Squinting in the harsh sunlight, he glaces upwards and sees Kiryu's shiny metal figure flying above him. Moments later he drops down and lands a few hundred yards away. Godzilla sighs and raises his arms. Kiryu does the same.
"I won't let you or your army take any more land. You have no right to be here!"
"I am not here to divulge in such insignificant pursuits. I have only come to this place seeking one thing. Your blood. In order to fulfill my purpose I require your genetic code."
"I don't care what you want. I won't hesitate to destroy you Kiryu."
"I do not want to fight you Godzilla. Give me a sample or I will be forced to retrieve one."
"If you want this DNA you will have to extract it from my cold, dead claws!"
Kiryu steps back and extends his tail stinger.
"Wise words."
Kiryu lets out a metallic roar and charges at Godzilla. Godzilla lands a punch on Kiryu's head and sends him sliding back. Kiryu roars and extends one of his swords. He swings it at Godzilla but Godzilla simply dodges the swipe. Godzilla steps forward and lands another punch on Kiryu. He screeches back and fires his maser cannon at Godzilla. The yellow beam hits him right in the chest and causes him to slide backwards and fall over. Kiryu stands up and deactivates the beam. Godzilla roars and stands back up. Just as he gets his bearings Kiryu lands a powerful kick on his head. A couple of Godzilla's teeth go flying as he slams back onto the ground again.
Kiryu, seizing this opportunity, jolts his tail forward and plunges the blade into Godzilla's side.
"That wasn't so hard huh? Just hold still now for the doctor."
Godzilla roars back in pain and tries to remove the needle. Kiryu uses his right foot to pin Godzilla to the ground. After four intense seconds of struggling, Kiryu yanks out his tail and retracts the stinger. Godzilla then shoots up and grabs it. Kiryu looks down and kicks Godzilla in the chest. He releases his grip. Kiryu turns around, extends his thrusters and takes off into the sky. Godzilla sits back up and watches as his mechanical foe flies off into the distance.

Legion of Doom headquarters, an hour later.

Kiryu lands with a thud on the landing bay. After walking through the building he enters his lab. He extends the end of his tail and pulls out a canister full of Godzilla's blood. He retracts the end of his tail and places the canister on a table next to him. Finally, he can perform his experiment. Little did he know that Battra was in the corner of his room.
Author's note: Writer's block really sucks. Writing this chapter was honestly a pain but trust me the next one is going to be full of drama and conflict. If all goes accordingly I should have it up by either Wednesday or Thursday. I will see you guys soon.
