Belloc ran through the California thicket as if it were a race track. He went faster and faster until he fell on all fours. Scarlet caught his shoulders to keep from falling. The dirt rose up from the ground at the grip of his hands. Scarlet looked around her and saw that the trees seemed to be getting smaller. She looked below her and saw that the ground was rising. Belloc was transforming into his kaiju form at a rapid pace. Before she knew it Scarlet was looking at the tops of the trees. The night sky seemed magical, but then a thought came to Scarlet's mind,'Why did Duncan warn me about him?'

It wasn't long until the pair made it to a desert like area of the thicket. At a glance it looked like a random patch of sand. That is until Belloc added his intense flames to it. The sand began to melt and turn into liquid glass as it slid off into what looked like an entrance. Belloc began to run through the cavern while giving his small speech,"We are an ancient race Scarlet. So old that the humans themselves believed us to be myths. They see us as the invaders but, it is they who have infested our world." When he was finished demeaning her other half they'd made it to a room that was covered in bits and pieces of gold, Serpentine, and Benitoite.

Belloc let her down and Scarlet stared at the room for a moment. "So," she began and turned to face him,"after fourteen years you finally show yourself and for what? To make me your second heir?"

The king chuckled and responded,"Your brother has been very vocal has he not?"

"You can say that."

"Contrary to what you might believe I am here to give you a choice." Her eyebrows sprung up with curiosity,"You may come freely and if so I have a feeling you know what will happen after that. Or you may leave and if you wish you will never hear from me again. Though I cannot promise that there won't be glimpses or news of me nor that I will not train you from afar."

"What's the trick? You're the ruthless King of the Kaiju who's managed to survive all these years so there's gotta be a catch."

A small rumble escaped from the dragon for he was proud of his daughter and her ability to see past him. "If you choose to come freely the Kaiju in you will be unlocked and you will be put through vigorous training to soon become a mighty ruler."

"And?"

"I believe you already know what will happen with the other choice."

"Let me make sure I understand;you come back basically from the dead to give the choice of side by side training or training that I won't even see coming. Either way though you're preparing me to rule over some foreign kingdom."

"This "foreign kingdom" is your home Scarlet just as much if not more than the human world, however the difference is you are destined for greatness here."

"Why? Just because I'm your daughter?"

"Yes child. You are my daughter, my heiress, my next in line. This is your birthright and if anything you should take what is yours."

"What is mine? You're kidding right? How can you say it's mine when I don't even know what it is?" Belloc stared down at her with amber eyes that showed through the darkness. His mighty hand laid down in front of her as if it were an open hand for shaking. Their eyes were locked until Scarlet looked down at his crimson scales. She knew she had to think quickly and yet deeply. Finally she'd decided as her face met with her father's in his palm.

"Excellent."

"Don't get too excited." She boldly retorted,"You said it yourself. I was a princess when I was conceived. So what happens now?"

Surprisingly a small smile crept onto his face as he remember those words from his son sixteen years ago. Instead of answering her question he began to walk down another cavern as he gave another small rant,"There is a war coming Scarlet. A war between human and Kaiju. As my heiress you must choose your side and be strong for the coming conflict."

When they'd made it out of the cavern passage they entered a room where two falls met into one pool. One of the falls was of pure Gold, the other of magma, and in the pool you could see where bits of Serpentine had melted down. Around the room emerged four different Kaiju. One of them spoke,"You have made another?!"

The others chimed in saying,"Another?"

"Silence!" Belloc's mighty voice was heard throughout the whole hideout. He continued saying,"This is Scarlet! My heiress!"

Repeating herself,"What happens now?!" Before she knew it Scarlet was falling with her back to the pool of scorching elements. She could see her father's face right before "diving" in and thought,'what have I gotten myself into?'

The sound of vultures was the first thing heard. The first thing she could see was the hot desert sun blinding her. Sitting up slowly Scarlet rubbed her head thinking,'Where am I? What happened?' Then she looked down at herself. With widened eyes she realized she was only in her chainmail undershirt and underwear. 'The one time I don't wear my MEGTAF clothes.' She thought examining herself a little more.

Her skin was much dryer, slightly darker, of course scalier, and then tighter. That tightness meant that other features of her body were shown a little more like her collarbone and face structure. Sighing she looked around and saw that she was on top of a plateau around the edge of town. The young hybrid decided to lay down again and think,'What am I going to tell Duncan? Heck he'll be just overjoyed at where I've been. I can't wait to hear him say "I told you so." I guess I kinda deserve it though. I should have gotten out of that situation as fast as possible. At least I can finally say I've met my...dad. Can I even call him that? I better get out of here before he-" Before she could think another word she heard someone say her name.

Looking over the plateau Scarlet saw a familiar face, her uncle Kenny,"Scarlet is that you?"

"Yeah!"

"Your brothers been looking everywhere for you!"

"I figured as much!"

"Hey dad," another voice popped into range and soon Finn came speeding up next to his father,"did you find her?"

"Yeah give me a second though. I gotta call Duncan," he then walked off a little with his phone in hand.

Finn covered his eyes with his hands to see if he could notice his friend, "Hey Scarlet why don't you come down?!"

"Uh...I kinda can't!"

"Why not?!"

"I can't say!" The teenage boy just looked somewhat confused, but decided not to ask.

Kenny walked back over and yelled up,"He said he's on the way! You sure you don't wanna come down?!"

"No I'm just fine up here!" After that awkwardness Scarlet thought to herself,'He's gonna kill me.' It wasn't long before the other hybrid showed up nearly fuming in his Kaiju form,'Shit.' Staring her brother in the eyes she gave an awkward,"Hi…"

"Hi," his voice was raised slightly,"that's all you have to say to me?! Scarlet do you know how worried I was?! I mean I didn't know where you were or if..." Then he looked at her up and down. It was almost as if a fuse was about to blow in him. Duncan turned around and started breathing. At first they were somewhat calm, but soon progressed into more vigorous, anger filled motions. His fist were clamored, his skin burned, and k-9's showed.

Scarlet slowly made her way over to her brother who looked as if he could pop at any moment. "Duncan…" He didn't move a muscle so she walked in front of him and put her hand on his shoulder,"I'm sorry. You were right I shouldn't have went to the party and when I had my phone I should have called. Now can you please watch your blood pressure?"

His breathing slowed and his emotions boiled down to the point where he almost reverted to his more human form. It wasn't just anger he was filled with;it was disappointment at himself. Finally he looked up at her with amber eyes as she gave a weary smile. He signed before saying,"We'll talk about this at home."

He then picked her up bridal style and began to fly her home.
