Chapter 30: Canon Update 4
.
This canon update is more of an update to the stats and abilities of each kaiju. The past few chapters (particularly the previous one) have shown our heroes and villains with new abilities. Let's start with our heroes.
Godzilla: Godzilla hasn't changed much since we previously discussed him but one thing that has changed with him is that his right arm, the one that was regrown after it was blown off, has begun to regain its color. Although it's still lighter than the rest of his skin it is becoming darker.
Mothra: Although she is still grieving the loss of her daughter's egg, Mothra is starting to recover. Her color is coming back and her antennae are no longer constantly drooping. However that doesn't mean she is back to normal. She still has a hard time doing anything and she still randomly starts to cry. All Godzilla can do is comfort her and make sure she feels safe.
Rodan: Rodan, to no-one's surprise, has changed sides. Although his powers have stayed the same he has a large amount of knowledge about the Legion of Doom and has been feeding Godzilla and Mothra as much as he can. Battra is still needed to fill the many missing gaps.
Humanity: The large majority of the world's military forces have joined together to combat Kiryu and his army. Vast amounts of weaponry line the border between the two sides and humanity has begun to build their own jaegers to combat Kiryu's. Godzilla has begun speaking to them in order to coordinate their next moves. Although they have not forgiven Godzilla and his friends for all the damage and death they have caused, they recognize that if they don't join forces Kiryu will wipe all life from Earth.
And now we move on to the villains.
Kiryu: Kiryu has repaired his armor from his fight with Battra and is now designing a new set. This will be the armor he uses to take on the Kaiju Court once and for all. His progression with his experiment and with the oxygen destroyer are coming along smoothly. It won't be long before both are ready.
Gigan: After his new armor, Gigan is almost an entirely new kaiju. His new armor is almost impenetrable. Along with his new shiny armor he has a bunch of new weapons. First he now has a tail that is able to move and grab things like Kiryu's. On the end of it he has a spike with four claws around it. With this he is able to grab things and throw them just like an arm. His heat vision is now twice as deadly and has a larger range. He is able to shift the beam from a thicker beam to a more precise thin one. Unfortunately his hands were sacrificed in order to make his blades more rigid and longer. Even though he misses his hands he knows that sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.
The Experiment: Mothra's daughter is being transformed into a creature the world has never seen before. It is Kiryu's attempt to create Battra but without his flaws. Kiryu has already begun the transformation process and it won't be long before she is unleashed upon the world.
Battra: After losing to Kiryu, Battra has both psychologically and physically broken. He is missing several limbs and both sets of wings. He is only being kept alive because of his deep hatred of Kiryu. But these wounds have done something to him, they have unlocked a strength that was buried deep within him, and once he is free from his bonds that power will be unleashed.
Fear Battra.
Not only has our characters changed, but the world around them has as well. First let's start out with the Legion of Doom's headquarters, the Mayan Fortress
The Mayan Fortress: The battle between Kiryu and Battra has left the facility in rubble. Although the majority of the building is still standing there is considerable damage done to several floors including the throne room and Kiryu's lab. Several jaegers from the front line have been pulled back to rebuild the base. On top of the base a large antenna is being constructed to be a backup broadcast array in case the main one in Texas falls. Outside the base a smaller pyramid structure is being built to house the oxygen destroyer. Kiryu's lab has doubled in size and The Experiment's egg is being moved to the facility in Texas for further development. There she will be finalized, named, and born.
Yucca Mountain Nuclear Repository: Now serving as the Kaiju Court's new base, the large mountain and the nearby deserts serve not only as a large open area for Godzilla and his allies but also an easy place to spot incoming enemies. Leo and Junior's eggs are still housed deep within the mountain surrounded by nuclear waste. Because of the large amount of radiation and stable temperature they are developing rapidly. It won't be long before they hatch as well.
Houston Jaeger Facility and Broadcast Array: this facility is used to not only construct new jaegers but also as a place to send commands out to the active ones. Many large radio dishes and antennas surround the hexagon shaped building. Deep underground inside the massive basement rooms is where Kiryu keeps all of his highly secret and important pieces of technology. The Experiment's egg will be transported there and her development will continue there. Battra is also being housed inside of this facility. Jaegers guard the base around the clock and anything that enters the airspace near the base gets immediately shot down. This is why humanity can't get any information about the base.
The Frontline: the line where both sides meet starts on the southern portion of California and stretches all the way across the panhandle of Florida. The line essentially runs right through the top part of Texas. Little Rock in Arkansas is a highly contested area. Godzilla has fought there dozens of times to halt the advance of the jaeger army. Another hot spot for conflict is Tallahassee in Florida. Many times the jaegers have launched an attack to claim more territory on the east coast but Godzilla has been an immovable wall. Humanity however is doing a large majority of the leg work. Whole Anti-Kaiju missile arrays criss-cross the line and they stop any surprise jaeger or muto from crossing the line. However because the majority of the mutos are dead the missiles have been replaced with either EMP missiles or a new prototype Anti-Jaeger missile. This missile functions just like the Anti-Kaiju missile but it has an EMP inside of it as well. So not only does the jaeger have it's chest blown open but anything left working is shut down instantly. Along the front line lies the decomposing bodies of mutos and the mangled wreckage of jaegers. Many large groups of people have flocked to the line to salvage the tech from the jaegers. Some have even started building their own. Although the US army takes them they do not destroy them. They fit them with weapons, pay the former pilot to train soldiers how to use it and then let them go.
Other places: The jaegers have made it as far out as China but their attempts to invade have been met with fierce resistance. So far only the United States is having an ongoing crisis to stop the spread of Kiryu's army. Hawaii has been conquered by Kiryu but so far nothing has been done to it.

Author's Note: And that concludes the fourth canon update. I only plan on doing one more of these since the end is getting near. School has started back up so writing is going to become harder to do now because the majority of my school work is online but I will try to find time to write. Until then my friends I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Random: I am thinking of commissioning an artist to draw my rendition of Battra but I don't know who to go to and I also can't really find an artist with a style that I like. If any of you have an idea feel free to let me know.
