Godzilla leapt over another chasm between two tall buildings with ease, his claws leaving deep skid marks as he landed on the roof. He leaned against a flagpole and panted heavily.
'These powers...' he thought. 'I've never had anything like it before...' He made another rose appear in his clawed hand. Its petals were glowing with radioactive energy. 'But... then why do they seem so... familiar?'
"You really want to know the truth?" a voice asked him. "It is hidden, deep within the corners of your memory..."
The humanoid creature in the torn tuxedo that was Godzilla spun around. On top of the flagpole, a white-dressed figure was standing. It was a human, clad in wide, white robes that had a distinct Arabian theme to them. He also had a short, curved sword hanging from his belt.
"Who... who are you?" Godzilla growled. "And how could you read my thoughts?"
"I... am the Moonlight Knight," the mysterious figure replied. "And I know more about your past than you might believe."
"What is there to know?" the human-sized kaiju snapped. "I'm the result of radioactive waste that was dumped in the sea by the humans."
"While that might be true... that is only the history of your body. Your soul, however... is an entirely different matter."
"Stop talking in riddles and leave me alone!" Godzilla growled. "I'm a dangerous kaiju, human!"
"I am as much human as are you," the Moonlight Knight said. "But the question remains: How much human... are you?"
"I AM NO HUMAN!" Godzilla roared and shook the flagpole. The Moonlight Knight jumped up into the air and landed behind the furious kaiju.
"Don't fight me," he said in his calm voice. "You would never win."
"Oh, you think I'm too weak to beat a puny human as you are?" Godzilla asked. "Looks like you don't know me after all..." And he threw a blue-glowing rose at the man in the Arabian robes.
The Moonlight Knight then pulled a rose out of nowhere as well... it was a rose that was as white as the moonlight itself... And when the two projectiles hit each other, they both vanished in a bright flash.
"I know every move as soon as you think about it," the Moonlight Knight explained. "But that alone is not the reason why you can't beat me."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Godzilla grumbled.
"Because," the white warrior stated while posing with his sword. "I am you! I am a fragment of your soul... that parted from you when you were reincarnated in this body. As soon as we merge again, you will remember... but, it is way too early for that."
'This human is crazy...' thought Godzilla. 'I should just incinerate him and leave...'
But since he realized that this man, whoever he was, meant no harm to him, he decided not to do anything.
"You're lucky I'm in a generous mood today..." he growled. "You can leave if you don't bother me again..."
The Moonlight Knight seemed to smile under his mask. "We will meet again, Mamoru... we will meet again!"
"Dad!" came a new, loud and high voice from behind. "Wait up!"
'Oh, now what?' groaned Godzilla as he turned to face the new arrival.
He frowned when he realized a female kaiju that was human-sized, just like him... and she also looked very much like a human, also just like him. And they also had similar tails and ridges on their backs and...
Godzilla shook his head. "Where did this girl come from?" he asked, but when he looked over to where the Moonlight Knight had been standing just a moment ago, he couldn't see him anywhere.
The little kaiju-girl with the crystals growing from her shoulders landed in front of him. She had pink hair, but except for that, the crystals and the fact that she was female, she looked like a younger version of him.
She meekly raised her hand and waved. "Hi..." she nervously said. "So, you finally stopped, huh?"
"Obviously..." Godzilla grumbled. "And... who are you?"
She smiled. "Well, you don't know me, but since I was the fastest one of us, I thought it would be best if I followed you instead of the others. Mom didn't like the idea, but in the end, she let me go..."
"Uh huh..." Godzilla mumbled. "And... should I know this mother of yours?"
"Oh, sure," she nodded. "She's Usagi... but, at the same time, she's also called Mothra... and Sailor Moon... gosh, that's so confusing, isn't it?"
Godzilla raised an eyeridge. Mothra? Mothra didn't have any children. And even if she had, this kaiju girl didn't look one bit like a moth.
"I know what you're going to say," the pink-haired girl said. "But there's a good reason why I look like this..."
Godzilla crossed his arms. "Well, I'm listening..."
She tilted her head and grinned sheepishly. "You're my Daddy... I'm your daughter! My name's ChibiSpaceGodzilla... but you can call me Chibiusa!"
Godzilla didn't know whether he should laugh, cry, run away, hug her or faint on the spot.
Setsuna gasped when another blast of fire threw her backwards, this time over the edge of the rocky cliff. She desperately tried to grasp something to stop her fall, but she only found empty air. When she hit the rocky beach down below, slimy chunks of her body flew in all direction. It hurt, but not as much as it should when someone loses a body part. For Setsuna, it felt extremely weird, having her body strewn all over the beach. And it felt even weirder when these slimy parts began to crawl back to her on her own.
Baragon appeared at the top of the cliff, roared and jumped down after her. Landing in front of Setsuna, who was still trying to pull herself together, the dinosaur kaiju let out a menacing growl.
"Back into the ocean, where you belong, you filth!" Baragon snarled. "The continent belongs to the land kaiju!"
Deep within, Baragon couldn't help but smirk. 'Here I am, one of the smallest kaiju, never been in one of Godzilla's big battles before without getting my ass whacked anytime I tried... and I'm beating big, scary smog monster Hedorah! Maybe now everyone will respect me...'
Setsuna nervously got up from the sand and backed off, towards the crashing waves of the ocean. "Please... don't come any closer! If you touch me..."
"You're not scaring me!" Baragon hissed. The big-eared lizard flexed its claws. "Ready to feel the pain?"
With a speed that Setsuna was unable to predict, Baragon launched its body against her, claws and fangs bared, ready for the kill. Setsuna didn't know what would be worse: If Baragon was really able to kill her with that attack, or if the dinosaur would kill itself by throwing itself into the deadly, poisonous mass that was Setsuna's body.
She would never find out which of these events would come about, though. A large shape came shooting out of the water, with a flailing tail and snapping pincers. Baragon didn't have the time to blink when one of these pincers was slammed down on its skull, stopping its flight and throwing the fire-breathing kaiju down into the sand.
Angrily, Baragon shook its head. "Hey, what gives? Don't interfere in my battles!"
The giant lobster that stood in-between the other two kaiju snapped her pincers in irritation. "Baragon, you big idiot! Do you want to kill yourself that badly? Even the slightest contact with Hedorah's body mass is dangerous, don't you know that? You're lucky she decided not to fight back!"
"Still, she doesn't belong here," Baragon growled. "She woke me from my sleep... in the most painful way possible! And then she provoked me..."
"Excuse me?" Setsuna blurted out. "I tried explaining to you that it was an accident."
"There you see it," Ebirah said. "Also, even a blind would see that this isn't the same Hedorah that fought Godzilla the last time. You really should try to use your head, silly girl!"
'Baragon is a female?' Setsuna wondered. Then again, she never knew that these giant monsters could act so civilized in each other's company.
"Now, I want you to apologize to the poor thing," Ebirah scolded.
"All right, all right, I'm sorry..." Baragon mumbled.
"You better be! If I weren't on my weekly exercise swim around Japan, who would have stopped you? Seriously, I don't understand why you other kaijus always need to tussle with each other. The only time I attacked anyone else, I was under the influence of a horrible drug..."
"Well, that's just because you're weaker than any of us," Baragon growled. "You don't realize the thrill of competition..."
WHAP! Baragon yelped when, once again, she found herself at the receiving end of a pincer slap.
"Say that one more time and I will forget my good manners!" the female lobster hissed. She turned around to face Setsuna. "You are not hurt, aren't you, dearie?"
"Um... I'm fine," Setsuna replied. She was still baffled by the fact that she was saved by a crustacean that was the size of several ocean cruisers. "Thanks for the help... but please, be careful not to come too close. I really didn't want to hurt anyone... stupid toxic slime..."
"Aw, you poor thing," Ebirah said, full of compassion. "It's crystal clear that you aren't menacing, like most of the monsters that appear on Japan. But if you don't want to endanger others, why did you come to Japan in the first place? Isn't there another place, with others like you? Creatures that aren't affected by your toxin?"
"No, that's just it!" Setsuna felt like crying. "I've only been like this for a few hours... and I have nowhere else to go! I just don't know what to do anymore..."
Ebirah wished she could give the distraught girl a hug without having her arms dissolved by the deadly mucus. "There, there, we'll figure something out! I'll try to come up with something, and so will Baragon."
"I will?" asked the four-legged dinosaur in surprise.
"Yes, you will!" Ebirah hissed. "Because I say so!"
"Okay, okay! Just watch the pincers..."
The more Setsuna watched the banter between Ebirah and Baragon, the more she was reminded of the relationship of a certain couple she had seen in a future... in a future where the Sailor Senshi weren't reincarnated as kaiju. A couple of girls that loved each other dearly, but still had their squabbles. And just like Ebirah, the turquoise-haired pair of the couple sometimes had to stop the blonde girl from doing something reckless.
And it didn't surprise Setsuna anymore when she saw the two glowing symbols of Uranus and Neptune on the kaijus' foreheads...
