Las Angeles
King Ghidorah sat perched atop the tallest skyscraper in the City of Angels, his golden scales glistening in the sun. The military had given up attacking the monster that refused to rise from its dormant state. Now helicopters just hovered around the monster while the city below was frantically evacuated.
Somewhere in the Philippines
The secret secondary base of the EDF located under the Philippines Islands was beginning to calm down. Getting situated in this small base was easy enough, even for the now stressed Vanessa. She had finally been able to relax and was sitting alone in the conference room. On several different screens was the news reports concerning what appeared to be the beginning of another monster age.
Since the asteroids broadcasted its message throughout the world everyone knew to call the golden dragon King Ghidorah. The red, transforming monsters were called Destroyah now, coined by the public. It was easy to figure out why the crystalline monster was called SpaceGodzilla, and Vanessa gave a massive sigh of relief when she learned Godzilla had eliminated that threat. Even his southward course towards Ghidorah seemed to support her theory on Godzilla in some way protecting the planet.
"Computer, give me the status of the Three Mechs," Vanessa called to the base's computer system.
"The Super X is prepared to launch and waiting orders. The MOGERA and MechaGodzilla are currently receiving repairs, and will be ready to move out within the hour."
"Good, deploy the Super X to follow the Destroyah monsters. When their repairs are done I want the giant Mechs heading for Las Angeles. And make sure satellites keep and eye on Godzilla."
California Mech Base
The MOGERA and MechaGodzilla stood in their own cylindrical hangers, machines large and small making the necessary repairs to the minor damages each robot received.
"See, you 'masterpiece' of engineering technology is just as flawed as the MOGERA," Jessica taunted to David. The two commanders were alone in a monorail moving around the two walking tanks, making several passes by each before moving on to then other.
"Alright, I admit, our machines are equal in the matter of combating a monster that sends EMP waves out. But when we go against that Ghidorah thing, I'll prove which machine is the masterpiece," David replied.
"Wait a minute, something's not right," Jessica blurted.
"What!" David exclaimed, fearing something was wrong with the Mech monsters.
"Your machine can fly, mine can't. You'll get to Las Angeles before me. Long before me!"
David chuckled, "if it makes you feel any better I'll let you go out before me. A fifteen minute head start, how does that sound?"
"Suspicious," Jessica murmured. David raised a curious eyebrow.
"You seem to be acting nicer that before, and to be honest I'm not exactly comfortable with this change of personality."
"Oh, that's just to give our crews something to talk about. In the half-decade we've known each other we never had any real time alone. And, well, I guess I just like to be a bit of a jerk in public. Provides some comedy for the dull lives we actually have."
"That's it?"
"We're coworkers, we can't always be arguing. And just to let you know, if you ever needed help I am there for you."
Now Jessica raised a curious eyebrow to David.
"In the battlefield I mean. We can't have our best soldiers being killed so easily."
"Oh, I thought you were saying you liked me."
The monorail finally stopped, connecting to one of the observation stations. The doors opened and David began to leave.
"Never said I didn't" he said as the monorail doors closed and the electric train went on to the other observation station.
720 miles above the Pacific Ocean, 11,000 miles west of Las Angeles
The Super X was flying at the speed of sound above the serene waters of the Pacific, directly above the swimming Destroyahs.
"Prepare to drop plasma bombs," Tanaka ordered.
"Bombs locked and ready Commander," Maria replied.
"Drop 'em."
Glowing green bombs began falling from the X's belly in groups of three, splashing into the water in gushes of steam. The bombs kept falling even after the first found their targets. The ripples left by the bombs entrance were replaced by massive explosions of seawater. After half the Super X's bombs were dropped the airship finally stopped, and the crew waited to see if the monsters survived.
"Targets gone from all sensors," Tanaka announced. "I doubt we killed the completely, but at least we slowed them down."
