Before I begin, I want to reply to a few reviews.
Killer 007: Hedorah will appear in Phase II of the storyline.
Azure Bird: Mechagodzilla will have two appearances in Phase I, each appearance being a different era.
That's all! Enjoy, and please R&R!
Chapter VIII
"So... you've been watching us this entire time?" Rogers asked.
"In a way. We've watched your kind with great interest," said Hargo, the elder Simian. "Many of us wanted to conquer you, but we have a strict 'live and let live' policy towards other species, with few exceptions."
"What kinds of exceptions?" Rocket asked.
"One of them, the Vortaak, is in orbit right now," Jok, the larger Simian, answered. "They were forced off of Venus, their home planet, by Ghidorah."
"They came here thousands of years ago to colonize it, but we had no intentions of letting them," Hargo continued. "When they told us about Ghidorah, we found him in Antarctica and told them. They did not want to deal with him when he inevitably woke up."
"And now that Ghidorah's dead, they think Earth is ripe for the taking," Romanoff concluded.
"Right. We'll help you with them, as well as with SpaceGodzilla." Hargo stood up slowly, his old age showing through. Jok held his hand out in case Hargo needed it, but the elder Simian turned it down.
"Not to be rude or anything," Rhodes said, "but what do you have that can help us?"
Hargo gave a patient smile. "Come with us. Our biggest tool is outside."
The Simians led the Monarch scientists and the Avengers outside, where a massive robot stood over the trees. It was stocky in build, but seemed to be quite powerful. Both arms had drills for hands, and the face was decidedly birdlike.
"We call her M.O.G.U.E.R.A." Hargo said. "It stands for Mining Equipment And Titan Defensive Robotic System in our language, which is pretty much unpronounceable to you."
"How powerful is it against Titans?" Ox asked.
"It's mostly for mining, but it can defend against Titans long enough for a full evacuation to take place," Jok explained.
"So you'll be using it for the crystals?" Ling asked. "The Titans are going mad over them, and our friend is in pain from them."
"Oh?" Hargo was caught off-guard at the mention of Jon. "Is your friend a hybrid?"
"Yes," Ken explained, "he died a long time ago, and we inserted the genes of a dead Titan into him. He came alive a few years ago, but he wasn't immune to the effects of Shinomura."
"The colonial starfish parasite?" Hargo thought for a minute. "Makes sense. We'll have our best scientists come up to help you with him."
"Thank you," Mark said.
Sea of Japan
Carol Danvers flew over the glassy surface of the Sea, following her instinct to find Mothra and Battra. She had been gone for so long, and she had made a promise to Mothra Prime to look after her children.
She slowed as a round object surfaced from the deep, about the same size that Mothra Prime was when she was a larva. Danvers slowed down until she was directly above the creature. Another creature appeared next to her.
It looked like Battra, but the colors were reversed; instead of a yellow spike and red eyes, it had yellow eyes and a red spike. It looked at her with an inquisitive expression.
Carol smiled as the other creature rose from the water. This one was more like Mothra, but her eyes were green. She had the same curious look in her eyes as Battra.
"Hello," Carol greeted. "Do you know who I am?"
"Yes..." a familiar voice said in her head. "You... are Carol... our... friend..."
Mothra rose more from the water, until her face was within arms reach of Carol. The heroine reached out and placed her hand on Mothra's forehead.
"You look different," she noted.
"We... are not... the same..." Battra said. "We... were born... male and female... But... fate... has other... plans..."
"I heard about that. What should we call you?"
"Mothra... Leo..." Mothra answered.
"Battra... Tauro..." Battra answered.
