Chapter 9: Face off
San Francisco, California, USA
USMC Anti Megalosaurus Command West Coast Reaction Base, Alameda Point Naval Air station
April 7th, 2019, 9:30 PM
The rain was setting in on San Francisco and the Anti Megalosaurus Command was becoming edgy, their inherent American paranoia dominated their mindset with fear of an imminent Godzilla assault on San Francisco at night. Therefore, to silent the concern of the paranoid Admirals and power hungry seniors, Major Glasgow authorized a sweep of the coast line of California. First come the Navy with their fleet of Destroyers, Frigates and Submarines, supported by patrol boats around their aircraft carriers, the USS George Walker Bush. Among the ships deployed for the operation was a barge carrying MOGUERA, the new penguin mecha unit to the underwater battle. Following behind it were the two MFS units, swimming under the waves to patrol for Godzilla and act as early deterrents.
As the two Mecha units swam across the ocean, the twins were using the full capacity of their sonar systems in conjunction with sonar buoys dropped from anti submarine aircrafts. Moving closely with them were submarines of the Navy's Pacific Fleet, keeping their electronic and sonic eyes peeled for the duration of the search at night. To much of the crew's surprise, Major Glasgow is taking the personal charge for this operation with the MOGUERA unit, they deduced that he might have been trained on how to use it on the VR simulation with the other pilots. But they felt their chances are more secured in the talons of the two MFS units, who were now taking the lead of the submarines to hunt for Godzilla at the outer edge of the fleet's perimeter.
"Ready to leave them in smoke?" Giryia asked on her coms with Girain, who then gave a nod. The two then increase their speed and swam away from the main body of the fleet, an act that did not slip past Richard's eyes. "Sir, the MFS units are moving fast, I think they might have an eye on Godzilla." The sonar operator notice Major Glasgow on the intercoms, Richard on the other hand knew that it was pretty obvious what were those two doing, he quickly went over to the intercom and ask for confirmation. "Does our sonar say anything?" He asked, to which the sonar operator reply calmly with a aura of monotone. "Negative sir, we got nothing on our scope. Maybe Godzilla's chemical is attracting them." For Richard, it doesn't really matter what or how is Godzilla attracting them, he was going out there to seal the deal with fate anyway.
"Keep tracking them, I'm going down there with the new MOGUERA unit. I gotta see this for myself." He said, before walking away to suit up and have the penguin like Mecha unit prepared for combat. Deep under the ocean waves, Girain and Giryia were moving ever closer to Godzilla's possible location. With each stroke they make, they leave the fleet further behind, not even the submarines were able to keep up with them. "Good, switch off our IFFs so they can't track us." Giryia instructed as she switch off her own IFF system, Girain followed suite and soon, their trackers on the ship's sonars disappeared leaving the fleet blind and unable to pin point their exact location. "Sir, we've lost track of the units. Both Athena and Hera are off the scope, recommend you use visual contact to find them and reel them in."
The operator said, this time his voice was carrying a twinge of fear as the event unfolds one twist at a time. "Affirmative, I'm going in with the emergency override protocols just in case. Have the fleet assume stand by position be ready to assist on my command, understood?" An affirmative answer came through the coms to Richard's headset as he pilots the MOGUERA unit at full speed to hunt down Girain and Giryia. His onboard computer system were carrying the override protocols for the two mecha units to reign them in just case if he needs to do something drastic. Richard went over the weapons system one more time, checking everything from the drills to the missiles and beam weapons. "Time to pay the butcher's bill, bitch." He muttered.
Meanwhile, several knots ahead, Girain and Giryia were now walking on the ocean's floor side by side, sticking close to one another as Girain felt the presence of Godzilla was near. "He is coming, very close and very fast." She said as her head swivels around to pin point Godzilla's direction. "He is that eager. I like the tenacity he has, he is an interesting character of a Kaiju if you think about it." Giryia mused, her interest in Godzilla was only intensifying as she too felt Godzilla's presence coming ever closer. Sensing the presence of two female and their unthreatening nature, Godzilla would then promptly increases his speed until he had finally reached them, landing on his feet with graceful balance for a Saurian, he stare curiously and intimately at the two cyborgs.
"Girain, who is this machine here?" He asked, pointing over to Giryia, who then laid her optics on his rather masculine body. "I'm Giryia, her twin sister, I believe we could use your assistance, in exchange..." She leered at him seductively, Godzilla noticed the white irises on her green optics let out a soft flash of lustful desire and her gaze took a more predatory feel to it. Godzilla a low growl as he came closer to Giryia and wrapped one of his arm around her waist. "Allow me to lend my assistance to you ladies." He said, much to Girain's relief and annoyance at how she have to earn the trust of allies. "We've got company." She turned around at the sudden tremors of the ocean current ripping violently through them and the fishes swam away in a craze of fear as something massive head over to them, and in front of her eyes and the other Saurians, MOGUERA as piloted by Richard Glasgow.
He was speeding towards them with lasers and Plasma Canons in its eyes and hand mounted laser canons firing at the two. "Evasive actions now!" Giryia and Girain swam out to the side in perfect sync, much to Godzilla and Richard's mesmerized eyes, "Try this on for size bitches!" Richard fired his MOGUERA's hand mounted laser canons at the two cyborgs, the beams traced along their swimming patterns. But while he was busy with them, he forgot to take into account, Godzilla's involvement in the confrontation, firing his own atomic breath at the penguin's chest, blowing the mechanical warrior avian off of his beam's trajectory. "3 against 1! How can you not like the odds!?" Richard exclaimed as he pilot MOGUERA to focus its weaponry on Godzilla. First he fired off the chest mounted beam at Godzilla's chest, which it hit him and knocking the Saurian off his feet and on to the ocean's floor.
"Time to end this!" Glasgow quickly fired up his thrusters and drill hands and aim at Godzilla's chest, as he speed his way towards the king of Monsters, the machine was quickly interdicted by Giryia's electric whip, which held it back long enough for Girain to land her kick on its back, slamming it on the ground. Shaken, but undeterred, Richard madly pressed on his attack by rotating the head to blast Girain with its eye beams. Struck by her chest, Girain stumbled back before falling off of MOGUERA's body, leaving Richard free to break out of Giryia's whiplash grip. "Darn it, this Major is hell-bent on killing all of us alright." Giryia muttered, as her whiplash has to be retracted back into her palm before the purple cyborg swims to an alternative fighting position.
Richard subsequently got back on his feet only to be slammed by Godzilla's attack, the Saurian pushed himself in trying to fire his atomic breath directly at MOGUERA's eye. "Hell no! Take this on for size fatty!" Richard slammed the right drill hand into Godzilla's left cheek, grazing the Saurian and left a scar running on it and blood was dripping out into the sea. "Just the way I like it, now try this for dental nightmare!" The major fired up his drill bit and prepare to push it into Godzilla's wound, only for Girain to stop him with her railgun barrage. The slugs grazed and damaged the MOGUERA unit's shoulder and torso parts, making it hard to aim, keep balance and control simultaneously.
"You again? If you wish for it, then take this!" He fired off the chest mounted beam of MOGUERA at Girain, who narrowly dodged the blast by swimming with all her strength in zig zag pattern. "You'll have to do better than that Richard Glasgow, or you might as well just surrender right away before we have to do something drastic to you." Girain taunted him on his coms link. Much to Richard's dismay, this won't be a fair fight for him, but he was too drunk on revenge to think straight at the moment, the first thought he could think of is calling in the fleet to support him, unfortunately, his communication link to the fleet was jammed by Giryia's electronic jammer. And his communication link was hijacked by Girain. It would seem like his end was close to happen.
But if he was going to die, he would go out like a Marine, regroup in hell. He once again fired all of his weapons at Girain, trying to intercept her ahead of her swimming strokes. As he does so, Godzilla fired off his atomic breath once again but this time, his aim was more focused and controlled as the beam landed right into MOGUERA's chest mounted canon, the ensuring short circuits and explosions forced Richard to back off from his attack, this was then supported by Giryia's Absolute Zero Daggers, she impaled the daggers into MOGUERA's eyes, disabling its canons and blinding Richard in the process. The frozen particle radiated from the blades quickly freezes the interiors of MOGUERA's head, leaving the penguin vulnerable for assault. Richard was by now a broken man in the cockpit, water was beginning to leak in, his death was certain to come, in fact with all the bruises and scars from the battle, he just wish his life to be ended right away in a dignified death.
But surprisingly, it didn't come, as his death came closer and closer, he suddenly felt something, a rumble and suddenly the feeling of being lifted. He thought for a second the angels were bringing him to the heaven, but in reality it was Girain bringing MOGUERA up to the surface in both her and Giryia's hands. His mecha unit was brought up to the surface in sight for the whole US Navy's fleet to see, the barges quickly came over to place MOGUERA down for the engineers to come and perform emergency rescue of Richard. "Well rescuing him wasn't part of the plan...what do you intend to do with that Girain?" Giryia asked, sounding surprise as Girain was hovering next to her. "Doing something different, killing him won't change anything for us. Instead, make him our mouth piece and announce our present to the world just as Kiryu was able to. Wait here and watch over sister, I need to do one last thing."
Girain dove back down to the Pacific ocean, she swam back down and found Godzilla laying on the ground resting himself after the battle, his body has exhausted greatly but he can't stay for long in America's water, this Girain know. "Godzilla, how is your wound doing?" She asked, tending to the injury on his cheek, the Saurian promptly let off a grumble. "Not too bad, all part of my occupation, Girain, you have to return to Kiryu he is worrying sick for you." He held her in by her arms, the tender embrace was returned by her own hug and purring sounds. "I know Godzilla, but don't worry about me here. As soon as you are able, return to Japan the safe place where Kiryu can watch over you. Giryia and I will settle matters here, we will be safe from harm, trust us on this one." He nodded to her before pushing his muzzle on her forehead in a motion that resembles a kiss, he then departed and headed west for Japan, leaving Girain to settle matters with Richard in America.
