Chapter 34: The Plan

.

Stopping Kiryu and his bomb would not be an easy task.

In order to get to the bomb there are many things standing in the Kaiju Court's way. One being the jaeger army that is stationed right outside of Columbia. After the fall of the jaeger command facility Kiryu pulled his army back to a spot where the new radio tower could reach them. This left the entirety of Central America free of any threat. Although humanity has begun their invasion plans the kaiju have not.

With the help of Battra and humanity, a new exo suit for Godzilla is currently being made to assist him in his fight against Kiryu. Rodan has been tasked with sifting through the rubble of the jaeger command facility for jaegers to use to build the suit. Humanity disassembles them and frankenstein's them together to make the pieces of the suit. Battra assists with designing and, when it is complete, putting the suit on Godzilla. Finally, when it's five days until detonation, Godzilla calls his group together, along with General Wayfield inside of a jaeger suit, to plan out just what they are going to do. Godzilla is the first to begin the discussion.

"So. We have five days left. Today I have been informed that humanity has pooled their military forces in order to lead their own attack along with us. But that leads one thing left to discuss. What are we going to do?" Godzilla said.

"Well what do we know about the territory we are entering? Anything at all?" Wayfield said. Battra clacks his pincer.

"Rodan, Rax and I are the only ones who have any knowledge of the region and this is what we do know. Before he betrayed me we were working on a defense network that specifically targeted you two." Battra shifts his glare between Godzilla and Mothra. Both of them frown.

"What? Do you think I was going to leave my territory unguarded from my biggest enemies? I had to work hard to capture that land."

Wayfield jumps forward and grabs Battra.

"Yeah, work my ass! Do you have any idea how many people you killed? MILLIONS! The entire continent was sterilized because of your "work". If it weren't because of Big G behind me I would squash you right now!" Battra pushes Wayfield off of him. He activates his chain sword in response. Godzilla grabs Wayfield and yanks him back. Battra flares his wings.

"I had family in Brazil, Battra and because of you they are gone. Once this war is over Battra you better count your days." Wayfield retracts his sword. Godzilla breathes a sigh of relief.

"What exactly is this defense network you made Battra?" Rodan inquires. Battra tucks his wings back behind him.

"It uses large networks of Anti-Kaiju missile batteries and seismic charges. Whole sections of the Columbian and north west portions of South America are filled with these defenses. However there is a flaw in the defenses that I left in case something like this were to happen. Each of the missile batteries are powered by fusion reactors that we acquired from jaegers we killed. If you use thermal imaging you can spot the batteries. But take caution. Destroying the reactor will cause it to explode and set everything around it on fire. If you plan to carve your way through then there will be significant damage to the environment."

"There comes a time where a situation only gets so worse until nothing can make it even more dire. If there were still civilians living in the countries that we are about to glass then I would say no but, I can't believe I am about to say this, do whatever it takes to stop Kiryu." Wayfield shrugs his shoulders.

Rax butts in. "Wait, is there a reason why we can't just nuke this bomb instead of defusing it? I feel it would be a lot easier."

"Because that would release micro oxygen to leave the entire southern hemisphere sterile or grossly mutated for thousands of years." Trust me Rax, I am not the only one who thought of that idea." Battra replies. Rax mumbles something. Godzilla is getting angry that no planning is being done.

"Look. We only have five days to save the world so we need to get to work. Can I see a map of South America please?"

Battra sets down a small metal disk and pushes the top part of it. A light blue holographic map of South America shoots up out of the disk and begins to rotate slowly.

"Thank you. Because we know that Central America is clear we are using it as a staging ground for this invasion. But what are we going to do? Well I have an idea. Because I am the only kaiju here that can't fly that leaves me with only two options. Cross it by land or swim there. I am going to take the second option only because the land invasion option will most likely result in me being hit with missiles and dying. I am going to cross the continent to California and enter the Pacific. I will swim around the bottom of South america and then make landfall in the east coast of Brazil. We know that Kiryu's headquarters is here."

Godzilla points at a red dot roughly in the center of Brazil.

"I am going to march there with my exo suit on and fight everything in my way. However before we declare victory there are some objectives that we need to complete first. Mothra and Battra. You two are going to work together with the humans to push through into Columbia. Because you two have reflective abilities you can shield yourselves and the humans behind you from the blast of the missiles. Carve a path large enough for the armies to get through. Rodan. You are going to assist me in my charge through Brazil until we reach Kiryu's base. Once we arrive your new task is to find and eliminate the jaeger control tower. Once it falls, the jaegers fall."

Rodan nods his head. Godzilla takes a breath.

"Battra, once you reach the base you need to find the bomb and begin defusing it. Mothra you are going to defend him from any threat. Remember, he is doing the most important task in the entire op. If he fails then the world is doomed."

"What do we do if Gigan or Kiryu show up?" Mothra asks.

"Fight like the world depends on it because it does. Leave Kiryu to me. I can't risk you dying again." Godzilla brings one of his hands to Mothra's face. She nuzzles his hand. Battra just rolls his eyes and Rodan awkwardly whistles.

"If all goes according to plan then we will be able to stop the bomb and save the world. But we can't let Kiryu escape. He must be defeated. If anyone completes their mission before anyone else then help Mothra defend Battra."

Rax once again butts in. Godzilla sighs.

"What about us? I can find my fellow mutos and get them to help us. I know where they are hiding."

Godzilla was about to speak but he stopped and hesitated. Rax opened and closed his jaw just a little bit.

"If you know where they are and if you can convince them to help us then fine. But if they are not able to be convinced then leave them. For now you are going to go with me and Rodan and you can split off once we arrive at the base."

Rax nods his head. Godzilla turns to the group.

"Any questions or comments? I am leaving the specifics for the humans to you Wayfield. But do not advance ahead of Battra or Mothra. They are your sword and shield."

No-one says anything. Godzilla clenches his jaw.

"Then it's settled. Once the humans are in position we will begin the assault. May god help us all."

Wayfield and the rest of the kaiju leave. Godzilla and Battra are the only ones left around the map. Battra taps the disk again and the map disappears.

"After this is over Battra, what are you going to do?"

"Find out the answer to that question. All I have known is war. What about you Godzilla? What is the great King of the Monsters going to do?"

Godzilla turned his gaze away from Battra and watched Mothra. She was making her way back towards the nest site to watch over her eggs. He turned his gaze to Rodan who was helping Wayfield move jaeger parts around. Finally he turned his gaze to the human city just a few hundred miles from them. Godzilla stared off into the sunset and muttered one word.

"Rest."
