Originally, Viluy had just wanted to take the elevator leading upstairs, so she could see how far the works on her pet project, Kiryu, were proceeding.

Also to install her own, personal Death-Buster touch to it, namely a daimon egg she had just received from Dr. Tomoe.

She didn't expect to collide with a blonde, furry animal-girl that had traits of a dog and something else she couldn't quite place. The creature's face also looked quite familiar.

"Out of my way, daimon!" she said, an angry scowl on her face. This obviously was one of Viluy's or Eudial's minions, as she would never create a daimon that looked so... ditzy.

"Oh, you don't recognize me?" the daimon asked with a grin. "I don't blame you... but I think from this day on, you may call me 'Lady Shisa'. How does that sound?"

Viluy did a double-check. That voice... "Mimette?"

"It's me!" the Shisa-girl grinned. "Like what you see? Yeah, I know, I never liked the 'furry' look myself..."

Viluy blinked. "How... but how did you... huh?" She shook her head. "Why in the name of Pharaoh 90 did you turn yourself into a daimon?"

"Well, I didn't exactly plan this, it was a little mishap, nothing more, but... in the end, I think this is for the best. With King Caesar merged, I will be the most powerful of the Witches 5." She laughed.

Viluy fumed. King Caesar? That dumb blonde dared merge herself with a Shisa? Even worse, she dared putting herself above all the other witches?

'Just you wait...' she silently swore. 'If the doctor hears about this... he never gave you the order of merging with that Shisa. You'll be in so much trouble when he...'

"Mimette!" came the gleeful shout of the doctor when he stepped out of his lab. "Simply amazing! I'd have never thought of that... merging with a daimon and taking over a kaiju's body. Did you come up with that plan all by yourself?"

"Why, sure!" Mimette grinned as she flexed her muscles. "And you won't believe the power I now have... I ran all the way back here and never became tired once. I jumped from roof to roof..."

"Good, good," Tomoe smiled. "Well, with a few adjustments, you might even be able to retake King Caesar's original size... you'll be the first of our kaiju soldiers in the battle against humanity! How does that sound?"

'A promotion?' Mimette thought. 'AWESOME!'

Viluy gritted her teeth. She couldn't take it anymore, so she just stormed past the witch-kaiju-daimon freakshow and entered the elevator.

"Where to, Viluy?" Dr. Tomoe asked.

"I need to check up on Kiryu," Viluy grumbled.

'Oh yes,' she thought. 'I need to make sure that he'll be MUCH stronger than Queen Bitch.'

She then spotted the mistake in her thoughts. Even if Kiryu turned out to be more powerful than Mimette's new form, she would still be higher-ranked than her. No, to outdo the dumb blonde, she'd have to do the same as she did... she'd have to become a hybrid herself.

When she entered the huge hangar, she was happy to see that Kiryu was nearly finished. In her eyes, he was even more impressive than the original MechaGodzilla. And the dumb, blind human scientists even had installed more weaponry in this machine than in his predecessor.

If they only knew this weapon would be their own downfall.

Viluy couldn't help but grin when she walked along the metal catwalk in the middle of the hall. Kiryu's head was directly in front of her.

The witch opened the small bag she was carrying and looked at the daimon egg that was hidden within. "Wait just a little longer, Kiryu..." she whispered. "When I'm done with you, the two of us are going to be the most powerful soldier of the Death-Busters. Just you wait, Mimette... I'm gonna get you yet! And your little dog, too!"

"Doctor Viluy!"

Viluy quickly closed her bag and looked up. "Yes?"

Commander Ikari was approaching her. He had the usual, inscrutable expression on his face. He was accompanied by a young, teenaged girl with light blue hair, whose red eyes seemed to stare right past her. Viluy suppressed a shudder. That girl somehow gave her the creeps.

"I wanted to compliment you on your progress," Ikari said. "If Kiryu lives up to his promise, we might still be able to rid Japan of Godzilla and all these other, dangerous monsters."

"Please, the safety of Japan is my biggest concern," Viluy said with a smile. "I'm just doing my duty to humanity."

'You're such a fool if you actually believe me,' she mentally smirked.

"That is good to hear. Doctor, I wanted to introduce you Rei Ayanami... the Second Child."

Viluy blinked. "Second Child?"

"Yes, indeed. My son obviously wasn't the best choice to pilot MechaGodzilla. I don't want to repeat that mistake, so I chose someone else to pilot Kiryu. Rei has the best results in all the tests. She won't disappoint us... isn't that right, Rei?"

"Yes," Rei replied, as she continued to stare blankly into space.

Viluy grimaced. She almost forgot that officially, Kiryu had to have a pilot. She obviously couldn't tell Ikari the truth: That a daimon would control the giant cyborg unit by merging with it.

Oh well, her plans had changed anyways. She wouldn't need Ikari or his little pilot girl after she had taken control over all of Kiryu's body. She just had to wait for the right moment...

"Well, I have to go," Gendo said. "I need to instruct Major Katsuragi about the new security routine... Rei, make sure to get familiar with Kiryu's controls."

"Understood," Rei said.

"Doctor, would you please show Rei to the pilot cockpit? I want her to take a good look at it before her first mission."

Viluy grimaced inwardly. "Of... of course, sir!"

The commander nodded and left.

Rei didn't budge an inch.

Viluy gave her a crooked grin. "Well, what are we waiting for, then?"

"I am waiting for you to show me the way to the cockpit," Rei stated.

Viluy groaned. How did that girl manage to creep her out so much?

It didn't matter. All she had to do was to give the girl the tour she wanted, then she'd leave her alone... and she could finally do her job, end this farce and become a daimon-kaiju-hybrid herself.

And then Mimette would see who has the last laugh...
