Death shall come to us all, with neither exception nor favoritism clouded its process. None shall be freed from the circle of life that has been etched firmly into the daily lives of all living things. But it goes without saying much on how and when will one meet his end, this uncertainty keeps all those who worried about their lives on the edge of their seats. This is the best way to describe Richard's predicament, uncertain of his life, blinded by his thirst for vengeance, now he is lying on a hospital bed, being treated with IV and splints for his broken legs. It was his hot headed nature that got him into this predicament, consequently, both parties involve have a lot of explaining to do.
At first he was only able to feel the agonizing pain plaguing his legs and the numb that the pain induced to his body. But soon enough, his eyes began to open, he can feel his hands again as he looked around to determine his whereabouts. Much to his collective surprise, he was in a hospital, a military hospital of the Marines in San Francisco, the time that has flied by blew his mind, the last he can recall was being buried inside MOGUERA, half dead and was waiting for the moment to come. Until it was lifted to the surface, saved by the two machines he set out to kill. How strange that cyborgs can feel empathy and remorse, showing mercy when they can while he was letting his emotions and animalistic thirst have a full display.
He looked over to his left and found his phones to be on top of the cabinet, once he switched on his IPhone, he found a message was left in it for him to view, sent to him by Girain of all people. "What the hell? Why does it want to call me?" He grunted angrily. Nevertheless, he flipped open the message and view it. Much to his surprise, it was a phone number, left by Girain for him to call her. He dialed the number into his phone and awaits for her to pick up, as the tone rung for a second time, he heard a click sound on the other end with Girain's digital voice came in. "So you're finally up?" She asked. He huffed at her dried sense of sarcasm and replied, "Yeah, if by up you mean on a bed with both of my legs broken. I might as well just pre ordered a wheel chair had I known what you were about to do to me."
She didn't seem to be bothered much by his Marine mannerism and continue with her conversation. "Look here now Richard, I never asked to be made and I certainly never wanted to be your nemesis. I believe you would have asked for the same thing." She paused for a moment, letting the reasoning sink into Richard.
She was right, he wanted war, he wanted vengeance for Emilia's death, this is further exacerbated by the fact that the company responsible for her employment and well being did not supply him with proper information regarding the events and circumstances. Blinded and driven by anxiety, he was willing to latch on to anybody who can feed him with the selective set of information. "Okay you got me there. So what do you want from me?" He asked, waiting for Girain to answer, which she did with a sigh accompanying.
"Simple, first of all, I want you to put Thomas Maddison in custody and escort to the Japanese embassy. He is wanted for the theft of the original Godzilla's DNA from Japan and also responsible for setting in motion the events led to your mother's death." Richard nodded as he jotted down her demands, the first one of which was easy enough for him to accomplish. "Anything else missy?" He asked, sounding almost like he was teasing her.
"Simple citizenship, you saw the news don't you? If he can enjoy it Japan so there shouldn't be any reasons for us not to here in the US. And if you and your congressional cretins try to weasel their ways out of this...just know that anything can go wrong will go wrong." It sounded almost like a threat, a death threat to him and America at large, but one that he was willing to cooperate to resolve without bloodshed involve.
"You know that the talking heads in the congress wouldn't like this and will want payback when they get words of this." He said, with as much level headed rational, honesty he can mustered. "I know that. But there wouldn't be any effective payback but a few spite words when they're corpses. Your father should know this if he is aware of his species group is Homo Sapient." She hung up on Richard at that, leaving him to decided how best to pursue these demands, he spent the rest of the evening in the hospital, restless and thinking over the details one after another.
As the hours passed by, and the dawn came, he finally picked up his phone again to call some of his lieutenants and MP in the facility. "LT, I want you to revoke Thomas Maddison's security access to the base and place in custody. I also want you to inform the Japanese Embassy in Frisco to cart the man off of my property." The Lieutenant on the phone nodded but with some confusion at the sudden arrest warrant, but he filed it in anyway as the Major ordered.
As the paper was filed in, the MP and Marines were quickly dispatched to administrative building of the base with rifles and handcuffs in hand. While they were approaching with haste, Maddison was in his office franticly searching for the DNA sample, he ransacked his own room to find it, from cabinets and drawers to the safe, it was nowhere to be found. It was then that the Marines stormed in arresting the executive with ease, handcuffing him and escorted him out to the Japanese embassy, where Jason Brody has been hiding out for the past hours thanks to the efforts of Thánh Nhân.
In the embassy, was a Japanese man who goes by the name Yamadera Togusa, he sat by a metal bench reading some files regarding the theft of the DNA sample some 13 years ago. He read attentively, skimming through the passages and reports suggesting who might be most likely person to commit the crime and murdered a few JXSDF troops along the way. "Yamadera-san, you have someone here to meet you." The receptionist informed him, he got up from his bench and walk over to the receptionist table, at that moment, the Marines were escorting Thomas Maddison into the building.
"So we finally meet, Goalpost." Togusa said, smirking at the satisfaction of catching the wanted man he has been chasing. "I'm sure I don't need to tell you about your rights." He took the man into the Japanese custody where he will be deported back to Japan to stand trial for his crime and espionage actions against the government of the country. As the security personnel of the embassy escorted Maddison off to the holding cells, Togusa flipped out his phone to call his boss, Kiryu.
"Yes it's me, good news for you. We finally caught him. (Kiryu's voice from the other end congratulates him) No biggie, just doing our job, my American counterpart does his job rather well I must. (The Cyborg then proceeds to make a few remarks regarding the plan) Well it was your plan to begin with, but it was well done nonetheless. Talk to you later." Togusa put his phone away and proceeds to interrogate Maddison for everything Raven PMC know, this was the moment the Japanese have been waiting for.
The ensuring event was clear as day, the identity of Thomas Maddison revealed to the public and Raven PMC's operations busted, all was finished for them. Their company was busted, their stocks plummeted and their assets were sold off to competitors before they themselves were declared bankrupt. The events surrounding the confrontation between Richard and Godzilla was kept quiet and silent from the public but with the insistence of the Major, the US government was forced to concede to MechaGirain and MechaGiryia's demand for citizenship and their acknowledgement as sentient creatures, much to the dismay of religious fundamentalists of the states.
It was hard to imagine where will her life go next with her twin sister, but fate soon answer her question with a phone call from someone. Girain finds it odd that who would be able to call her, the caller ID clearly wasn't Kiryu but an outside number. She answers it regardless. "Who is this?" She asked.
"MFS Type-4 Girain? You're with your sister unit?" Asked the gruff elderly voice. She finds it rather strange so she kept up her guard and prepare to trace the call before replying.
"Yes, but who are you? How did you get a hold of this number?" She asked.
"Lt. General Scot O'Grady, US Army, retired. Now GDI Field Commander. I got an order of two MFS unit to be assembled at site Mike-India pronto and you two are available." He said in his elderly gruff voice. It was commanding but charismatic at the same time which was assuring to her as she was able to access his case file.
"Oh I see, back to that island and under GDI command huh?" She chuckled a bit hearing it.
"Oh trust me, individual nations aren't equipped with the mentality needed to protect themselves. What with privatization and all. Anyway, the Marine Corps has relinquished control of you and your twin to us. You'll be arriving on the island within the week, also, the Japanese are sending Kiryu over. I heard also that we'll have a new classified unit but can't spill the beans for now." He said as he look over the images of a certain fourth unit, one looking much sleeker than the others with black angular head and blue optics with a label of "Quarantine" over his photo.
"Riiiiigghhtt? Anyway, I expect some respect when I get there. I hope that's not too much." She sighed out, knowing that she was about to step on a territory that warrants him to kill her.
"That's an affirmative, we'll get it done this time. Just get your bags together. See you there." Then the general hung up on her, leaving Girain to think for herself on how to handle the situation that will unfold in the coming months.
