Chapter 9 – Sister vs. Brother Part 2

Inside a cave near a river, Mothra is hard at work trying to stabilize Godzilla after he was hit by Battra's poison knife. Anguirus helped out with holding down Godzilla as he thrashes a couple of times. Godzilla's conditions have worsened since he was struck; Godzilla tosses and turns as the poison is eating away on his life force. Despite the struggle, Mothra managed to close the wound, but the challenge is not over.

Mothra = "Godzilla, please, get a hold of yourself. Can you hear me?"

Godzilla was in great pain, he can hear her, but he couldn't control his body.

Anguirus = "Is this poison really that strong?"

Mothra = "Battra, has a habit of using strong poison on humans. Godzilla's regeneration abilities were badly affected, so I have to close it manually. Anguirus, hold him down for a minute."

Anguirus held him as Godzilla continue to struggle. Mothra went to her bag to mix some herbal medicine.

Mothra = "These herbs should be able to calm him down for a little while."

After the medicine is made, Mothra quickly went over to Godzilla and fed him the mixture. Godzilla swallowed it and his condition starts to improve. Anguirus lay him down and put a blanket on him.

Mothra = "This medicine will only calm him; I need to go out and find some herbs that will rid the poison."

Anguirus = "Alone?"

Mothra = "Yes, someone needs to watch him."

Mothra got her bag and headed out. Anguirus stares at Godzilla as he sleeps.

Outside, Mothra found a forest and begun looking for some herbs. As she looks through a bush, a flood of memories came rushing to her. Battra and Mothra played together as kids without worrying about anything. However, as Battra learns about the current state of the Kaiju's anger and the hunting that the Kaiju Hunters continues, Battra began to change. Mothra tried to get Battra on the right path, but Battra joined the Kaijus that are following King Ghidorah.

Mothra = "Battra, I know you want to make things better, but this is not the way to bring peace. This war will only bring both worlds towards destruction and there will be nothing left."

Mothra got up and she turned to find Battra behind her.

Mothra = "I really thought that you left…"

Battra = "We weren't finished…"

Mothra = "So you poisoned Godzilla to make sure that we are alone. I think that's a big mistake… because you made me angry."

Mothra and Battra stared at each other before they clashed.

Back at the cave, Anguirus is taking care of Godzilla who is still struggling with the poison that is eating his life. Anguirus fed him the medicine that only calms him to prevent Godzilla from hurting himself. After a few minutes, Godzilla woke up and sees Anguirus.

Anguirus = "Godzilla, how are you now?"

Godzilla = "It… hurts…"

Anguirus = "I see…"

Godzilla = "Is Mothra… ok…?"

Anguirus = "Yes, she is fine. You shielded her from his poison."

Godzilla = "I'm… glad…"

Godzilla fell asleep again as Anguirus is now worried.

Anguirus = "Please Mothra, hurry back. We're losing him…"

Back to where Mothra is, she is fighting Battra who proved to be an equal. Both Mothra and Battra used different styles of Martial Arts to inflect damage to each other. However, both of them are not backing down and are tired.

Battra = "I didn't think you would be this strong."

Mothra = "That was the past."

Mothra and Battra stare intensely before they made one final clash. Both Mothra and Battra are unhurt, but Battra stood up and look at his pocket. One of his pockets was slashed.

Battra = "So, you were aiming for that…"

Mothra turned and held a bottle in her hand.

Mothra = "Is it a very important rule for assassins? When carrying strong poisons, you need to carry antidotes in case you are hit with your own."

Battra = "Very clever… I guess we should end this. However, I should warn you… if we meet again, we are enemies…"

Mothra = "No need to tell me twice… we are already enemies…"

Battra flew away as Mothra headed back.

At the cave, Mothra returned to Godzilla to give him the antidote. Thanks to that, Godzilla's condition is improving, but he still needs to rest. The poison left his body weak and he could move a little. Mothra is helping Godzilla getting his strength back as Anguirus watches for danger.

Anguirus = "I didn't get the chance to ask this, but what exactly happened which tore everything apart?"

Mothra = "It was a long time ago… The stories about the Kaiju Hunters reached Battra and he joined King Ghidorah. Battra is like him in some way, he thought if a Kaiju rules over humans, and then they will have respect."

Anguirus = "Must be hard…"

Mothra = "It is…"

Mothra continued to heal Godzilla until he regains strength to stand.

Back to the present, Mothra finally meets Dr. Serizawa and he begins work on checking Godzilla's condition. Most of the things he does are the same methods doctors use for humans. After that, Dr. Serizawa took some blood samples and put it in his bag.

Dr. Serizawa = "It would seem to be a fever from overworking. I would to run some test to make sure that there is nothing more to worry about."

Godzilla = "No problem, thank you for coming."

Dr. Serizawa = "It's an honor to serve you. I would like to suggest visiting the Hot Springs should do wonders for you. The spring water there will help you relax."

Mothra = "Thank you, we'll do that."

Dr. Serizawa left and Mothra gave Godzilla a meal.

Godzilla = "Do you think his research will help?"

Mothra = "After watching him, I think many Kaijus will be happy to find such a doctor."

Godzilla = "I hope so… Now, where should we go for a Hot Spring?"

Mothra = "I think I have a good idea, just me a few days."

Godzilla = "Thanks, Mothra."

Suddenly, they heard a crash and they turned to see Rodan, Anguirus, and King Caesar in a Kaiju Pile.

Mothra = "Are you guys ok?"

Rodan = "Hey Godzilla, we're so sorry we didn't get the message!"

Anguirus = "We heard that you were sick so we came as fast as we can."

Mothra = "I wonder if Dr. Serizawa's visit to the Shogun had already reached the public news. That would explain it…"

King Caesar = "As soon as we reach the door, we slipped and hit the wall."

Rodan = "No need to tell them that!"

Mothra = "I see, so that's the crash we heard. As for Godzilla, he will be fine. We just had a doctor here and he checked him."

Rodan = "Really?"

Anguirus = "It's rare for a doctor doing medical checkups for Kaijus."

Mothra = "I know, that's one of the many changes that it happening."

Unbeknownst to everyone, Battra is sitting on a tree watching the scene. Apparently, he survived the final battle and was out of sight for years. Throughout the Godzilla Shogunate, Battra begins to have a change of heart.

Battra = "Well, it would appear that humans does have a capability to understand Kaijus. This Shogunate will have to face some new challenges in a few more years. I pray that you will find the courage to confess your true feelings to Godzilla, my dear sister. I'm pretty sure he feels the same…"

Battra flies away with no one able to see him.
