Stalling For Time
United Nations, 10:30 pm;
"Why'd Mothra leave? Bagan was almost beaten." yelled one of the representatives, the others asked similar things.
Logan steps up to the podium, "Calm down, the Cosmos have told us why Mothra left in the middle of the fight. Miki Saegusa will show you." he said.
Miki takes his place and the satellite photograph of Mothra's egg is shown on the screen. "This is a heat sensitive satellite photograph of Borneo, the enlarged object is what Mothra is going to. That object is her egg." said Miki, "A landslide uncovered it, causing it to begin to grow. The egg is about to hatch so Mothra had to go protect the infant. Bagan must be stopped or at least stalled until the Mothras return. According to what we already now, Bagan will head anywhere there are large amounts of humans. I believe he will head for Bangkok as it is one of the ten largest cities in the world. My estimates put his arrival sometime tomorrow morning."
The Secretary General steps up, "I believe the choice is quite clear. Not matter if we try to stop or just stall for time, Bangkok must be evacuated." he said.
The American rep steps up, "Sir, America has developed a super battleship named the Leviathan. It is equal in length to Bagan, has a lot of firepower, and can travel at 500 knots on or bellow the ocean. She's docked in Hawaii and could intercept Bagan in the sea south of Bangkok early tomorrow morning." he said.
The Japanese rep stands, "Japan also possesses a super battleship named the Gotengo, it has similar speeds to the Leviathan above, on, or under the ocean. Aid its power to that of the American's battleship and Bagan should at least be prevented from landing until the Mothras can attack him." he said.
"Ok, call your home bases and have them deploy the Gotengo and Leviathan to attack Bagan, don't let them through at all costs." said the SC.
Sea south of Bangkok, 5 am;
The two powerful warships waited in the setting sun for their enemy to arrive. The Americans onboard the Leviathan were suffering from the time change, it was morning at home the sun was setting here. Captain Michael set in the highest chair on the command deck, he told his troops not to let it impair them, Bagan was far too strong for that. The U.S.S Leviathan looked very much like a normal battleship but was 150 meters long and had no outside deck. Its arsenal included many unconventional weapons, in place of normal cannons were particle ones, D-03 drill missiles were awaiting there deployment, two doors were placed in its bow, these hid its most powerful weapon; the Thunder Wave Cannon.
The Gotengo floated above the oceans surface beside the Leviathan. Captain Gordon was in charge aboard this ship. Unlike Leviathan, the Gotengo looked much more like a space vessel. It was equal in size to its comrade and also had a large arsenal. It had four large particle and ten proton missile launchers on its deck and a massive drill was attached to its bow, this contained Gotengo's most deadly weapon, the Maser Cannon.
"Sir Bagan is here." said crew members on both super battleships."
A massive figure stood approached in the distance. Bagan had left Singapore in ruins after Mothra left. Al l that remained of his wound was a jagged scar. He could sense his enemy's offspring was about to hatch. If he went to Borneo to kill the newborn, Mothra would likely carry her hatchling to safety. Bagan would rather head for another city and destroy it, the Mothras would come after him anyway. The two battleships speed toward Bagan, their appearance surprised him, he rarely saw anything that matched his size.
The particle cannons open fire, Bagan lets out a scream of surprise. He looks at the area that the beams hit, his armor was blackened. He fires his plasma beam at Leviathan but the agile battleship dives underwater. Steam fills the air as Bagan's beam hit's the water.
"Fire D-03s." ordered Michael, the drill tipped missiles fire outs of their launchers. They lodge themselves in Bagan's hide. As Bagan looks at them, the drills spring to life and dig into Bagan's flesh. Once they're deep enough, they explode. A large hole is blasted in Bagan's hide. A roar of anger erupts from his mouth, how dare these insects hurt him. The Gotengo fires its proton missiles into the wounds, drawing blood.
Bagan fires his energy blade, cutting a deep gash into the Leviathan's side. Inside it, sparks fly from the controls. "Status report?" asks Michael.
"Hull is holding but engines are at 10" said one of the female crew members.
The captains order the deployment of their ships main weapons. The Gotengo's drill spins and is surrounded by energy and the Leviathan's bow opens to reveal a massive crystal orb that crackled with energy. The two beams fire, Bagan fires his horn and plasma beams. The beams stalemate. The warships can no longer keep up the attack and stop their beams. Bagan's horn beam collides with the Leviathan, destroying its engine completely. His plasma beam hit's the Gotengo's side, sending it barreling toward the Leviathan.
With its engine destroyed, the Leviathan can't avoid the collision and Gotengo slams into it. A massive explosion engulfs both ships, Bagan observes the flaming wreckage of the two ships. Content with his victory, Bagan lets out a roar and marches toward Bangkok.
United Nations, 5:30 am;
"Both ships down, Bagan is unopposed." said the SC.
"Hey boss, We're still alive. Wish we could say the same about the boys in the Leviathan." said Gordon, appearing on the screen "The Gotengo's hull held, after some repairs it should be able to help against Bagan."
"Mothra's egg is hatching." said the Cosmos.
Borneo, 5:35 am;
Mothra was on the ground in front of her egg which had started flashing with energy. She had worried it might not hatch but she was assured otherwise. The eggshell begins to crack and a small screech comes from the egg. The giant brown larva breaks free of its shell and crawls to her mother. Mothra gives a small amount of energy to the newborn before picking her up and flying towards Bangkok and their archenemy.
Another chapter down, next up we have Mothra and her larva taking on Bagan in Bangkok.
