The next couple of days Haruo spent his days laying in his bed holding onto the only real piece of himself he had left. Hanabi. Whenever Hanabi would get up to go to the bathroom or get good Haruo often found himself crying, even when she returned he still cried until he fell asleep. Akane wasn't doing much better with Haruka. Haruka would rarely eat the formula, and she spent most time crying until she fell asleep or needed to be changed. But out of the whole crew, the person grieving the most was Miana. Miana had lost her best friend and her older sister figure, she was lost. Miana was so stricken with grief that she even forgot how to speak anything other than her native language, she forgot to read, write, and draw, and pretty much everything Yuko had taught her over the past couple of months. Miana laid face down on her bed with her face in a pillow, Maina jumped down from the top bunk and shook her. "Miana." She said, she shook Miana again, "Miana."
"..." Miana sighed, "What?" She said in their native language.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sad..."
"Why?"
"Yuko's gone...I've got no one else to teach me anything...I've forgotten how to speak and read and write..."
"I'm sorry."
"No you're not..." Miana said, Maina raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Kazuya was the one who killed Yuko...you don't care because you love him..."
"I..." Maina paused, did she loved him still? He had just killed someone innocent, someone who meant something to her and someone who meant an even greater deal to Miana. Maina sighed, "Not anymore. I thought I did but I don't."
"Stop lying to me..."
"I'm not lying to you." Maina then squeezes Moana's hand, "I know you miss Yuko, I miss her too. But you just laying here and crying isn't going to solve anything."
"Just leave me alone..."
Maina growled and groaned. She then stepped away from Miana. Meanwhile Kairi sat on her bed reading another werewolf romance novel. She continued to read until she suddenly stopped, she suddenly thought to Glenn everytime she read these. She swallowed hard and then put the reading device away, she stood up and walked down the hall to Glenn's room. She knocked on the door and Glenn answered shortly after, "What?" He said in almost a rude tone. Kairi swallowed.
"I know I'm the last person you want to be talking to right now, but...I'm sorry. I'm sorry I kept everything from you about the Aratrum, I just...didn't want to scare you, or hurt you, or lose you...and now that I look back I've done all three of those things." He just glared at her, "...and now...you can just forget I ever said anything and I'm going to just walk away she then turned to leave, Glenn then grabbed her arm gently, she turned and looked at him.
"I forgive you." He said, he then sighed, "I'm sorry too, I got a bit over heated. That was no reason to break up with you, especially after just finding out that you're pregnant."
Later that night Haruo walked down the hall to Akane's room. He knocked softly. Akane came to the door and looked at him with her hands on her hips, "Yes?"
"Let me see her..." Haruo said softly
"See who?"
"My baby girl..."
"I don't think so." Akane said, "You See, the baby in this room belongs to me after she was left at my door."
"Akane...please...let me see my daughter..." Akane looked at the saddened look on Haruo's face. She sighed and let him in. Haruo walked into the room and over to the crib, he heard Haruka making noises, she was awake. Haruo looked down in the crib at her, "Hey sweetie..." Haruka looked up at her father and gave a sweet smile, Haruo bent down and picked up the baby and cradled her in his arms. "You really do have your mothers eyes..." Haruo felt her back, "When has she last eaten? She feels thin."
"She's rarely been eating the formula."
"Let me feed her..." Haruo said softly, he cleared his throat and spoke louder, "Let me feed her."
"Alright, I'll get a bottle going."
"Thank you." Haruo then looked back to Haruka, "Has Akane been treating you well?" He said giving the baby talk a try, though unlike Yuko he kept his normal tone of voice. He sighed, "Daddy's sorry...he's sorry he's been gone for so long." It wasn't long before Akane walked over with a warm bottle of formula, she handed it to Haruo, "Thank you." Haruo said, he then started to feed Haruka and she willingly started to feed. "There you go little one...I bet you've been really hungry." Haruka ate the formula quickly, "Woah..you must've been really hungry." Haruo put the bottle down and he then started to burp her, once she burped he then went back to cradling her. He smiled at her and gave her his finger and she grabbed onto it. After a short amount of time Haruka fell asleep. "What am I dong Akane? I can't be a father, not when the world is literally crumbling beneath our feet."
"That's the more reason to be a father." She said placing her hand on his shoulder, "She needs someone to point her in the path of love and creation, not hatred and destruction like you have been shaped into."
"What if she doesn't like me...?"
"She'll love you."
A knock came from the door, Haruo walked over and opened the door, there stood Hanabi, Glenn, Kairi, and Miana and Maina. "What are you guys-"
"Save it." Glenn said, "Yuko was one of us, because of X's manipulation of Kazuya she's dead. Which is why-"
"Kick his ass." Maina said, "As...Kazuya would say."
"We have a mark on Kazuya's location, X is probably with him."
Haruo paused, he looked at everyone gathered around him. He then looked down at Haruka. "I.." he paused then looked back up, "I don't know what to do in terms of taking him out..I'm sorry."
"Here." Kairi pulled a small glass bottle from her pocket, "Your mom said for you to drink this."
"What is it?"
"It'll make you human." Hanabi said, "X despises humans more than anything, not to mention she said it means he can't get in your head. The nightmares will also stop. The downside is that you can never achieve your Peacelandian form or go to Safe Zone." Haruo took the small bottle, he looked at the liquid inside, it looked similar to orange juice. Haruo then gave Haruka to Akane. Haruo then drank the liquid in one swallow. He grunted in pain and then clenched his side, he hunched over and squatted down to the floor.
"...I've got an idea..." he said softly.
Outside the clouds became dark, they swirled in circles. X stood a top a mountain smiling up at the sky, "The time has come for Ghidorah to lay waste to everything!" X then turned and faced Kazuya, he smirked, "You, I congratulate you. You've made a convincing villain, a true rival. And an excellent puppet."
"P-Puppet?!" Kazuya asked clenching his teeth.
"You have no use anymore." X then pulled a gun from his pocket and shot Kauzya straight between the eyes killing him instantly. X then shot Kazuya's body over and over again until the clip was empty. X then tossed the gun behind him and he wiped his hands clean, "Now then," he closed his eyes and opened them again, the left one was black, gold lines ran through it, it was the Exif's pentagram, a symbol of their god. Ghidorah. X cracked his neck and then turned to three large black balls forming in the air. "It's time for some fireworks." He started to laugh as gravity beams started to strike the ground. His laughter was interrupted by a loud roar, he turned and looked off to the horizon. "Not possible." He said gritting his teeth, Godzilla had now arrived on the scene.
Back inside the Gotengo, Haruo had put on his old flight suit from the Aratrum. Miana then came up to him, he looked her in the eyes. "Miana..I need to tell you that..." He paused, "Thanks, for saving my life." Miana then gave him a soft smile, she then hugged him and he hugged her back, "You were my first real friend, I'm sorry that all this happened, I'm sorry you lost Yuko." He then looked down at Miana, "Hey, you're wearing your old clothes again. Why?"
"...home..."
"Home?"
"...going...home..."
"You're going back to the village?" She nodded, "When?"
"...after...battle..."
"I see." He sighed, "Miana." he reached forward and held onto her hands, "Let me come with you."
"...why...?"
"I've got no where else to go...I can teach you the same way Yuko did, you can learn to talk again, and write."
"..." she looked down, "...no..Miana...go...Haruo...stay..."
"Miana, I am not leaving you alone." Tears formed in her eyes and she let go of his hands, she then turned and walked away, he frowned.
"Yikes, back in the OG flight outfit I see?" Glenn said walking up to him from behind, he looked over at Haruo's face. "You okay?"
"Yeah...let's just get this over with. Remember the plan?"
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry I asked both you and Kairi to fight...I wouldn't have asked if I din't have any other choice..but we're out of options."
Hours passed, Haruo made his way up the mountain to where X was. X turned and smiled at Haruo, "Hey little guy, what are you doing here?" Haruo just clenched his fists. X frowned, "What the hell did you do to your body..?!"
"I've become human now, I've become the one thing you hate. Because of that I want you to do something for me. I want you to look into my eyes, look carefully!" X then looked into Haruo's eyes, X just smirked and started to laugh.
"You're not afraid to die."
"No, and I am here to end your life."
"Try me bitch." Soon behind X a golden head poked from the clouds, it lowered itself down slowly to the ground. "Ghidorah is here, and you've lost." Godzilla's roar echoed through the former city, it then walked towards the golden head. Another dropped down from behind Godzilla, and then finally a third. Godzilla then shot an atomic blast from its mouth towards Ghidorah. Gravity around Ghidorah then caused the blast to warp and shoot into the sky. Godzilla glared and gave a growl before roaring, only to shoot a blast once again. "Ghidorah...DESTROY!" the three Ghidorah heads then shot forward at a high speed, the first penetrated Godzilla's chest, the second bit Godzilla on the back of it's neck severing it's spinal cord from it's neck and the third shot through it's back. Godzilla let out a cry of pain before falling to the ground dead. Haruo's eyes widened.
"No!" He then looked back, Glenn and Kairi had charged into battle both in their giant sizes. Ghidorah then did the same to Glenn and Kairi, Haruo's eyes started to gather tears. He then turned to X, X just smirked as he removed his gloves.
"Come on Haruo. Take me out," he then removed his armor, jacket, and shirt, "Come on, I'll make it easy for you."

OMG! Sorry for this hiatus! I had too much going on in my life! OOF! Anyways! Once December rolled around I figured I would wait for Planet Eater to come out on Netflix before I just used Ghidorah and didn't know what to do. My review of the movie was that...it was okay? It was better than City on the Edge of Battle in some ways, and in other ways it was worse...and my worse I mean the weird switcharoo with Miana and Maina only for Maina to get pregnant with Haruo's child that made me super uncomfortable...oof...
