Haruo held Haruka in his arms. Occasionally Haruka would smile in her sleep and move her tongue in and out. He smiled down at the infant wrapped in her blanket and kissed her forehead softly. She then smiled again in her sleep, her smile dropped moments before she yawned and then sneezed. "Bless you. You know we're gonna need a cute nickname for you while you're still this small. What do you think of Peanut?"

"You're too adorable with her." Yuko said as she leaned against the doorframe, he looked up at her.

"How long have you been there?"

"Long enough." She smiled, "It's cute, the way you are with her, it's like she's your weakness."

"Well she kind of is, I didn't think I'd love anyone this much."

"Do you love her more than you love me?"

"No of course not."

"Oh..."

"What?"

"Nothing, it's just that I love her more than I love you soooo this is awkward."

"How dare you."

She laughed, "I'm teasing, I love you both equally." She walked over to him and sat next to him, "Don't you think Peanut is too stereotypical?"

"What else would we call her?"

"I like Momo."

"Momo? You mean like Mochi Ice Cream?"

"No, Momo because that's what my mom told me she called me as a baby. But Mochi is a cute nickname too." She then looked at the sleeping baby, "What do you think Little Mochi?" Haruka have a little smile, "I think she likes it." Haruo smiled,

"Little Mochi it is then."

Yuko smiled, "You're adorable." Soon a loud roar was heard from outside the ship.

"What the hell?"

"Let me take her, you go see what's going on."

"Yeah," he gave Haruka to Yuko. He then got up and ran to the command center, he looked up at the screen. There was a large brown monster with a row of spikes down it's head and onto it's tail and it crawled on all fours. "What is that?" The monster roared again and continued to walk through the village.

"It's Varan!" Mothra's voice came to Haruo's mind,

"Unbelievable..."

"Don't worry, Varan is harmless. Like Caesar and I, Varan is a Guardian Monster. It's the Guardian Monster of Tokyo after its home island was destroyed. It only attacks if provoked, or if he thinks you're a threat."

"Why is he out now?"

"He sensed me is all, he'll probably go back to sleep in the bay after a while."

"Alright." Haruo looked at Varan, "It actually looks pretty cool."

"You're a fan huh? Want to come say hi?"

"Can I?"

"Sure!"

Haruo smiled softly, he then walked outside of the ship. He looked up at Varan walking through the city, Varan roared. He then turned towards Haruo and then fully faced him. Varan then leaned down to get a closer look at Haruo, Haruo smiled in disbelief. He reached his arm out and touched Varan's face. Varan let out a soft growl. It then stood up and walked away. "Wow..." soon Mothra crawled over.

"Pretty cool right?"

"I didn't think that monsters had that side to them. I saw them all the same...evil...emotionless and destructive." He sighed, "They're like humans."

"They have good and bad sides. They also have caring and destructive sides. It's just nature."

"That's true." He sighed, he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Are you Alright?"

"I'm fine...just thinking..."

"About what?"

"My life." He sighed, "Maybe I'm the monster I've feared my whole life. Godzilla...He was just nature. My anger gave way to the destruction of the human race, my thirst for vengeance lead to the Nanometal and Mechagodzilla, I'm the monster."

"Yeah but, you regret that stuff. Godzilla didn't have a conscience. Godzilla just killed to kill. You aren't aren't a monster Haruo."

"Then what am I?"

"You're human. You're more human than you give yourself credit for."

"I see..." he sighs, "That means a lot more to me than you think."

"...are you cryin?"

Haruo looked up at her with a smile on his face, "Yeah," he wiped his tears, "But it's nothing, don't worry about it."

"Alright."

"I'm sorry, I don't normally break down like this." He said wiping more tears. He then looked up at her, "Hey, you're hurt!" He said noticing some scars.

"I'm fine, my larva stage is almost over anyways. After that I'll be in my other stage for a few thousand years or so until I die. After that I'll be reincarnated as a larva again."

"I see."

"Speaking of which I need to find a place to make a cocoon."

"You didn't already figure that out?"

"No, I figured I'd be staying in one place instead of taking a road trip up and down Japan."

"Sorry about that."

"It's fine, I've had a fun time getting to know you Haruo. If anything I've kind of got a crush on you."

Haruo blushed, "Um, that's nice."

"I hope that I'll get to see your daughter grow up."

"Yeah," he smiled, "She's special."

"What's her name?"

"Haruka. She looks like her mom."

"That's cute. I'm sorry the other one didn't survive."

"It's okay, me and her are going to try again after a while."

"That's nice, family is important."

"Do you have a family?"

"The entire Houtua is my family. I guess you're my family too."

"I guess so, you're kind of like an adorable pet."

"A pet?"

"Yeah, they're animals that you keep with you and love and take care off. Almost like children, only a lot more of a handful."

"I see."

"Yeah, most people have cats and dogs and sometimes hamsters and birds."

"Am I a dog?"

"No, you're more like a Caterpillar. They're similar to you, they spent their larva stages growing and then after that they make cocoons and then turn into butterflies or moths."

"I see."

"Most animals are extinct now."

"Extinct?"

"Yes, they're dead and won't come back to life."

"That sounds unpleasant."

"Yeah it can be."

"Oh! I meant to give you something!"

"What is it?"

"Here." A small light floated down from Mothra's forehead, it then went to Haruo's hand. Haruo looked at the object, it looked like a cross, the top of it looked like the head of a a moths, some silk was wrapped around the the middle. "I made it myself. I figured it would be something to remember me by when you go to live in Okinawa."

"That's nice of you, thank you."

"You're welcome."

"It's a bit too big to wear around my neck, but I'll keep it on me as much as I can."

"Okay, I also have something for Yuko." Another small light went to Haruo's hands, they were a pair of earrings. It was a circle with a cross and some other lines on it.

"Thank you, I'm sure she'll love these." He looked up at her, "Anything else?"

"Yes. Tell Kazuya to stop sleeping with Maina."

"Will do." Haruo said with a smile, he then turned and walked back onto the Gotengo. He walked to his room and walked straight in. No one was there, he shrugged and put the earrings on the desk and then he turned and walked out into the hall. Yuko must've taken Haruka with her to the cafeteria, so he headed down there. He peeked in and didn't see Yuko and Haruka but he saw his mother, "Hey." He said, she looked up at him.

"Hey."

"Have you seen Yuko and Haruka anywhere?"

"Oh, Yuko is taking a shower with Haruka. She came by earlier and asked me if it was fine."

"Alright. Thank you."

"She certainly is a cutie."

"Yeah, she is. She loves the sound of her mother's voice."

"Just like you do I presume?"

"Maybe."

"You don't have to hide it from me Haruo, I'm your mother it's my job to know everything about you."

"Yeah." Haruo folded his arms, he looked at her, "You okay?"

"I'm fine." She said with a nod, "I'm just stressed is all."

"Hanabi?"

"No, just stressed. I miss your father."

"I'm right here." Hikaru's voice came, Naomi laughed.

"That's not what I meant?"

"Oh?" He then paused, "Ooooh!"

"This is so wrong..." Haruo said to himself, "I'll tell Haruka you said hi." He then turned and left. He then came to the hall, he saw Yuko walking down the hall with Haruka in her arms wrapped in a fluffy white towel. Haruo smiles and walked over to them, "Hey."

"Hey, Haruka had her first shower today."

"Did she like it?"

"She loved it." Yuko said looking down at her, "She didn't like the water at first but after a while she absolutely loved it."

"That's good," Haruo smiled at her, he then showed her the earrings Mothra gave him, "Here, Mothra said to give these to you."

"That's nice."

"She made them."

"Alright, let me get Haruka in a diaper and then wrap her in her blanket before I do anything with them."

"Alright." He followed her into the bedroom. Yuko laid Haruka down on the bed and then she grabbed a diaper, Yuko unwrapped Haruka and she started crying.

"Hey, it's okay. I know it's cold." Yuko said softly to her, Yuko put the diaper on Haruka. "You're fine baby," she then grabbed Haruka's blanket from her crib and wrapped her in it, "See, there you go." She pulled the blanket over Haruka's head, after a while Haruka stopped crying. "There you go, all better now!" Yuko smiled down at her, she picked up Haruka and then laid down and laid Haruka on her chest. Haruka then quickly fell asleep to the sound of Yuko's heartbeat.

"You're really good with her."

"Of course I am, I'm her mother it's my job."

"Yeah." Haruo smiled and sat on the bed next to them, he rubbed his hand up and down Haruka's back as she slept.

Down the hall in Glenn's room Kairi leaned on his shoulder. "You alright?" Glenn asked.

"Mhmm."

"You sure?"

"I'm tired is all."

"You sure?"

"Yes." She paused, "No."

"What is it?"

"Glenn..." she sat up and turned and faced him, he looked at her, "...I'm having your baby..." Glenn blinked slowly.

"What?"

"I'm...pregnant." She sighed and looked down, Glenn smiled widely, he lifted her head up and looked her in the eyes.

"That's amazing!" He said, "When did you find out?!"

"A while ago...I've been so scared to tell you."

"You shouldn't have been! This is amazing! I'm super happy about this!"

"Really?" She asked with a bit of a smile, he nodded. He smiled and leaned in and kissed her.

"I love you."

"I love you too." She said with a smile, "I'm glad you feel the way you do about this. Otherwise I would have lost it."

"How could I not be excited?!" Soon the entire ship shook. "What the hell...?" Glenn stood up and rushed to the hall, Hanabi ran past him, "What's going on?"

"A monster just appeared!" Hanabi said, Glenn then followed Hanabi. Hanabi, Haruo, and Glenn all made it outside. Haruo looked up at the monster.

"It's a Gigan," Haruo said, "They're extremely deadly."

"Then let's make this quick." Hanabi said, Haruo nodded. Suddenly a bright light flashed, a sonic boom went off and suddenly Gigan went flying through the air. Standing in Gigan's place was a giant mechanical creature. Haruo looked up at it, his eyes suddenly widened, he remembered this design.

"Mechagodzilla...It's model 3..." he said to himself, Mechagodzilla was missing an arm and had some damage throughout its body. On it was ice that was currently melting. Inside of Mechagodzilla the Pilot smirked.

"Alright Mechagodzilla...you and me have been in a cryosleep for the past 20,000 years...let's show this monster who's boss." Mechagodzilla let out a roar and then advanced towards Gigan. Gigan stood back up and shot its eye beam, Mechagodzilla held up its hand. The beam collided with Mechagodzilla's hand, Mechagodzilla continued to advance towards Gigan before it placed its hand over Gigan's eye. Mechagodzilla roared and sunk its fingers into Gigan's face. It picked up Gigan and then threw Gigan into a nearby building. "Mechagodzilla, let's fire up Absolute Zero." Mechagodzilla roared and its chest panels started to open up, Gigan stood up just in time to get blasted directly in the face with Mechagodzilla's Absolute Zero canon. Gigan froze solid, Mechagodzilla let out a roar causing Gigan to completely shatter.

"What the hell..." Hanabi said, she then looked to Haruo who was just as shocked.

"What an Attack." Haruo said, Mechagodzilla then turned its head. It advanced towards Haruo, Glenn, and Hanabi before stopping. It shut down and soon the pilot came out, the pilot walked onto Mechagodzilla's shoulder and looked down at the three of them. She was pale, but her skin was slowly warming up. She removed her helmet and brushed her hair out of her face.

"So there's really more of you." She said, she then smiled. She yanked a cord on the hover pack on her back and she then gently floated down to where they were. She removed her now drained hover pack and looked at the three of them. She smiled at Haruo, "You look like you must be in charge." She then held out her hand, "Akane Yashiro of the J.S.D.F." Haruo then firmly shook her hand.

"Haruo Sakaki of what's left of humanity."

"What's left?"

"Yes, its a long story." He pulled his hand away, "You're ice cold, let's get you inside. We have plenty of food and water and a shower."

"Thank you." Haruo took their new guest inside where she showered, cleaned her clothes and put them back on, and then went to the cafeteria and began to eat. Haruo, Hanabi, And Kazuya sat across from her. Akane sure ate a lot more than the rest of them.

"Akane, if you don't mind, please tell us about yourself." Haruo said pulling a recording device out of his pocket and turning it on. He then placed it on the table. She quickly finished what she was chewing and wiped her mouth.

"Sorry, I'm famished." She leaned forward, "What is it that you want to know?"

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Japan."

"How long have you been on Earth?"

"I've been on Earth for the past 20,000 years or so."

"How'd that happen? And where did you find Mechagodzilla?"

"Find Mechagodzilla?" She laughed, "No no, I'm it's pilot. Mechagodzilla is kind of like my car."

"Pretty bad ass car..." Kazuya said to himself.

"What happened? You've been here for 20,000 years yet you haven't aged a bit. Are you not human?"

"No, I'm human alright." She sighed, "Back in 2005, there was final mission for Mechagodzilla and I, we were to fight Godzilla. We fought Godzilla in the Arctic, we had the upper hand as Godzilla couldn't survive harsh environments. The fight lasted a few hours, Mechagodzilla lost its arm. After a while a volcano went off, Godzilla climbed into the volcano and then swam in the Magma and got away. Mechagodzilla and I however weren't as lucky...the ice beneath us had cracked and split open. Mechagodzilla and I fell in, Mechagodzilla then used its Absolute Zero canon to put me and itself into cryogenic hibernation."

"So you've been asleep for the past 20,000 years?"

"Yes that's correct."

"How'd you wake up?"

"The Ice we were trapped in split open, the volcano went off again and the lava poured down and warmed us up. Mechagodzilla then flew out of there, I didn't wake up until we were in Japan just recently. When I checked the date and time it has been 20,000 years."

"I see." Haruo said, "Do you have any members of Akira?"

"Yes I do," She said, "He designed and helped build Mechagodzilla."

"I see, were you two close?"

"Not really, he mostly kept to himself, and he rarely talked about his personal life. Has something happened to him?"

"He's dead."

"I see, that's terrible news."

"It is." Haruo then sighed, "We will run some medical tests on you to make sure everything is okay. Is that alright with you?"

"Yes, I think I'm 20,000 years overdue for a check up."

"Alright." Haruo turned off the device and he then took Akane to the medical bay. He sat her down on the bed, Akane removed her jacket. Naomi then started to run a check up on her.

"Any pain?" Naomi asked,

"No."

"Alright," Naomi took a light and shined it in Akane's eyes, "Your eyes are fine and respond to the light..." she then looked in Akane's ear, "Ears are clear, can you hear me alright?"

"Loud and clear."

"Good," Naomi then took a stethoscope and listened to Akane's heartbeat, "A little slow, but you'll be fine once you get warmer." Naomi then looked at Akane, "Can you state your name for me please?"

"Akane Yashiro."

"Thank you." Naomi then checked her reflexes, everything was fine. "Alright, we're going to have you lay down, the bed will run tests on you and other various things."

"Okay." Akane then laid down on the bed, the glass cover came over the top and began to run tests on Akane. Soon brain scans and x-rays came up. Naomi looked them over, no broken bones.

"Your brain is still waking up, and is coming back to life and whatnot. For tonight we will have you stay in here for the night, Okay?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Okay, would you like some pajamas? This ship has pajamas that are fancier than the clothes I used to wear."

"I'm fine in these."

"Alright," Naomi reaches in the drawer and pulled out some blankets, "These blankets will warm you right up, there's a sink over there as well as a toilet that comes out of the wall. If you need me just push the red button next to your bed." She handed Akane the blankets.

"Thank you." Akane took the blankets, she unfolded them and then pulled them over herself, they were extremely comfortable. Naomi smiled and then got up and left the room. The lights in the medical bay then turned off, Akane then rolled onto her side. A memory played in her head over and over again. It was the day she went down.

Akane sat in the cockpit of Mechagodzilla, the ice beneath them cracked and they then fell in. The emergency lights turned on as well as sirens, "Akane! Akane! Come in Akane!"

"Hiiro..." She said softly, "I'm sorry, but I can't make it out."

"No, don't say that. You're going to be fine!"

"Hiiro...I'm sorry. We were supposed to get married a few days from now."

"We still will, Hey listen to me. Come on, you owe me our first dance."

"Alright, What will you be wearing?"

"Probably a tux, if not then something snazzy, like an all gold suit."

She laughed, "No, I don't think so."

"What about you? What will you be wearing?"

"Probably my wedding dress." She said, she pulled out a picture from her pocket and rested it on the control console, it was of her and the Hiiro she was talking too, "It's a beautiful pearl white, it's textured to look like scales, it also brings out my figure a bit." Soon the Absolute Zero canon was fired off, "Hiiro...I love you." Soon everything inside started to slowly freeze, Akane started to freeze from the feet and upwards.

"I love you too."

"Tell my dog that I say hi..." Soon the cold then went up she body and then onto her face. Akane then closed her eyes. Soon everything froze and a small cloud escaped Akane's mouth before everything went silent.
