Droplets of rain began to hit the kaiju as they stared at one another. Battra sported a smug grin while glaring at Dagon, wanting to drain every ounce of energy hidden within his body. Dagon glared back at her, cracking his neck and knuckles, waiting for her to make the first move. He may have his second wind, but the moth did take a lot from him, which should put them on equal footing, if not have her be outright stronger than him. Battra's attributes would make her slightly superior to Dagon regarding active abilities.
Without a word uttered, Battra disappeared from Dagon's vision; he looked around, and seconds later, Battra closed the distance striking him in the cut with her elbow; she quickly slammed the palm into the bottom of his chin. Dagon's head flew back from the uppercut; he planted his left foot into the ground and promptly went for a headbutt. Battra swiftly sidesteps, giving him a right cross to his cheek; before she can pull her arm away, Dagon grabs her arm and tosses her aside.
Battra spreads her wings to stop as he lets go, but he immediately rushes forward, punching her in the stomach. Battra flew through the air and stopped as she hit a mountain, coughing up saliva once her back hit the mountainside. Not giving her time to recuperate, Dagon was right back at it; the area briefly turned blue, illuminating Battra and making the droppers of rain more visible. Battra dodged as a blue beam hit the mountain and drilled clean through it.
She huffs, turning to face Dagon only to be met with his fist. It collided with her face throwing her head back into the mountain, cracking the spot her head as impacted. She winced in pain, and Dagon immediately punched her in the stomach and went for another strike at her face. Battra moved his arm to the side as it smashed into the mountain; she fired her prism beam into his hand and wrist at a higher power than before. Dagon roars in pain, and he attempts to hit her with his other hand; Battra immediately turns to face him while firing her beam, cutting across his chest, which throws his strike off course.
Battra turns back to his hand in the mountain, the skin around his hand and wrist is charred and healing, but she manages to melt the rock around his hand, and she spits silk at it. Dagon grabbed Battra by her throat, making the moth gasp in surprise as she was hoisted into the air, and Dagon's grip tightened around her neck.
"Ack! Get! Your disgusting hands off of me!" Battra roars as she attempts to pry his fingers apart, but to no avail; he only grips tighter and tighter.
Dagon's grip starts to rip and tear at the flesh on her neck. Blood was running down her neck and his fingers. Battra gasped as her windpipe started to close; Battra heard cracks and pops as Dagon increased his strength. Desperation kicks in as Battra hits and kicks Dagon in an attempt to free herself
"I thought you called yourself a god, or was it a goddess?" Dagon asked as he raised her higher into the air. "That you were above me and my kind? That you're what this planet needs. It seems to me that you believed in what? The hype of my power?"
Battra vision blackened as he continued to strangle her, yet hearing him mention her plans caused her fears to subside. Battra's eyes were slowly open as she thought about what would be at stake if she was to die now. Battra would not carry out divine justice, and she won't be able to save the planet. Dagon and the rest of his species would still be alive, and the thought of that and her work going unfished gave her a greater conviction. His taunting was not making the situation better. Her eyes were open as she grabbed his fingers, purple lightning sparking from her body.
Dagon noted this and applied pressure, but it didn't stop her. As she pulled his fingers apart, more electricity came from her body as she fought harder to free herself. Black powder started to go from her wings, forcing Dagon to look away, and finally, Battra did it.
Battra eyes glow purple, and she grins.
"Your hype? Your mistake, foolish creature."
Battra then released a pulse, a powerful pulse that forced Dagon back and allowed him to let go.
"I AM THE HYPE!"
The pulse forced Dagon back, burning away at his clothes and skin; the trees and grass near the pulse disintegrated. Dagon growled as he stood back up, looking at his body; his G-cells were again working overtime.
Battra ran to Dagon, who dashed off the ground, both throwing a punch at one another. Battra swiftly ducked while Dagon caught her fist. Dagon goes for a headbutt while Battra backdrops, raising her knee to her chest, and she kicks him in the head.
He lets go of her while she quickly maneuvers behind him and wraps her arms around his waist, raising him into the air and suplexing him. She took a bite out of his neck while Dagon roared in pain and jabbed her in her side until she let go, she fired her prism beam at him, but he moved her head aside and kicked her back.
Battra rolled back and stood up, glaring at Dagon, who got back up. The pair took a moment to recover, silently acknowledging their respective strength before they went right back at it.
Battra went for two right crosses, which collided with Dagon, she leaped into the air aiming for a left jab to his face, but Dagon moved his head out of the way just in time and followed it up with a headbutt. Battra's ears rang as she was left disoriented. Dagon jabs her in the stomach hard enough to raise her into the air, where he right-crossed her, she went flying to the right, but he wrapped his tail around her leg and slammed her into the ground.
Hissing as she pulled her head out of the dirt, she turned to face Dagon, who lifted her with his tail slamming her again into the ground. Her stinger glows purple, and a beam comes out, cutting across Dagon's tail; he winced in pain but kept his tail around her leg; he pulled her towards him and headbutted the dark moth. Battra fired a beam again, this time severing the tip of Dagon's tail. He roars and rushes to her attempting to stop on her head, but she kips up, delivering a right hook.
Once again, the two stared at one another and then charged. Dagon was going for a right cross, but Battra dodged, grabbing his arm and flipping him over her. Dagon impacts the ground, and Battra attempts to snap his arm; he pulls his arm free and fires his atomic breath toward her. She narrowly avoided it, but Dagon took the chance to leap up and elbow her stomach.
Coughing up saliva again, Battra stumbled back, looking at her cracked armor. She growled and dashed towards Dagon. Both reeled their fist back for a strike, but instead of punching, Battra kicked the back of Dagon's knees forcing him to pivot slightly. Battra then begins her maelstrom of blows; she jabs Dagon in the face, following up with a right hook and left cross. Dagon attempted to hit her, but she kicked the back of his left knee, then his inner thigh near his goods, forcing him to his knees. Battra then kicked him across the face twice, and as she winded up for the third, Dagon grabbed her hips, throwing her aside while he stood up.
Battra rushed at him again; he turned to face her plates blowing blue, he fired, and she slid under his legs, grabbing his right leg and pulling back, causing the daikaiju to fall. Dagon pulled his head off the ground, but Battra dropped down, slamming her elbow into his head, forcing it deeper into the ground. Dagon attempts to swipe at her, but she easily avoids him.
Dagon pulled himself out of the ground and charged to Battra, who side steps with ease, kneeing him in his side. Dagon winced and quickly turned, throwing wild punches at Battra, who easily dodged each strike, delivering her persistent blow on Dagon's body, causing his movements to either slow or stagger. Battra laughs as it becomes clear he's not a good fighter. Yes, he's robust and durable, and his adaptivity is high, but what good is that when you can't fight effectively. As Dagon went for a jab, she interlocked her hand with his twirling him around as she laughed, slamming him into a mountain. She kicked him deeper into the hill, causing an indent, she reeled her foot back for another kick, but Dagon quickly moved.
He grabbed her head and slammed it into the mountain; she pulled her head out and ducked under an arm swing aimed at her head. As she ducked, she delivered a solid blow to his right side, causing Dagon to buckle. She then grabbed his neck and side, lifting him into the air and doing a spin; as she reached a complete 360, she slammed Dagon back into the mountain. Rocks began to fall, and Dagon shoved Battra back, going for another punch which she dodged; and she uppercut his gut then hit him across the face. She goes for a few more strikes before he grabs one of her arms; she catches a falling rock that hits him across the face with it.
Dagon lets go, and she knees him in the stomach; Dagon snarls and immediately punches her in her thigh as hard as he can, the punch nearly splitting the air around the point of impact. Battra roared in anger and then fired her prism beam at Dagon; he grabbed her chin and forced her to look upward as he opened his mouth, a blue light quickly rising in his throat, flames licking the corner of his mouth, and finally, as he went to blast, Battra grabbed his chin and forced his head to the side.
Both beams flew into the night sky, and she kicked him in the gut forcing him to let go; she attempted to blast him again, but yet again, he forced her to look upward, and he went for another blast. Battra did the same, both fighting to turn their head to hit the other, but it was futile. Eventually, they stopped, and Battra quickly pushed away from him and she flew into the sky; Godzilla couldn't fly, so she could continue to blast him until he tired.
Dagon looked up; she fired her beam at him, which he dodged; he then ran towards Battra, who only laughed.
"Foolish abomination. No matter how close you get, you can't get up here." Battra taunts Dagon; however, he jumps into the air, looks down, and fires his atomic breath, propelling him upward. "And I- WHAT THE FUCK!?"
Dagon got to Battra's level, a smug grin plastered on his face, while Battra looked astonished. He punched her in the chest, which sent her down, but she reoriented and flew higher up, blasting at Dagon, who used his atomic breath to dodge and get higher. He can't move as fast as her or persist, but he's sharing the high ground. Dagon lands back onto the ground, his body feeling hotter than usual; he looks up at Battra and groans to himself, not in pain but more so in announcing.
"She's a stronger gnat than I thought," Dagon told himself.
XXXXX
Godzilla groans as she pulls herself out of the rumble, rubbing his chest.
"I hate those damn purple lasers and those scales," Godzilla grumbled as she looked at Mothra. "You okay?"
"Yeah….I'm fine." Mothra gets up. "I hope Dagon is okay, and I hope that Battra didn't get any more energy from him. We don't know how close she is in terms of raw strength, but she's faster than him and know fighting techniques."
Godzilla folded her arms, growling. "I told that dumbass he should've learned basic skills. I don't think it'll be that big of a hindrance. She's not fully 100 percent, right?"
"She merely obtained that form recently. Any power she got is coming from whatever she drained and not her full power in that state," Mothra explains, which didn't make sense to Godzilla.
"Well, we better help," Godzilla said, pointing off into the distance.
The pair saw blue beams firing around the sky in nearly every direction and a purple beam following after the blue one.
"At least he's still fighting," Mothra said. She picks up Godzilla bridal style. "Come, we need to help him."
Godzilla blushed as Mothra picked her up. "I keep forgetting that you can pick me up."
Mothra giggles. "We may look small and weak, but we can lift. I'm pretty sure I can lift Dagon."

The battle was back on the ground, and Battra switched tactics to be more defensive. Dagon rushed towards her throwing a punch; she quickly created a shield that cracked as his fist made contact; she swiftly elbowed him in the face and punched him in the neck, she bites his neck draining a little more energy. Dagon wrench her mouth off his neck and she blasted him in the face.
Dagon stumbled back, roaring in pain; her strikes felt weaker than before. He didn't even consider if she would lose the energy she gathered through fighting, that's why Battra went back on the defensive; from the short time he knew her, Dagon believes that Battra expected to beat him early, she didn't consider if he would get a second wind.
"What's wrong, cretin? Can't handle a simple moth?" Battra asked; instantly, she appeared in front of him, reeling her fist back, and she right-crossed him hard enough to send him to his knees. "Aren't you the same Godzilla who stopped an alien invasion? Killed a keizer and defeated your evil twin?"
Battra kicks Dagon across the face, "Didn't you survive weapons meant to kill you? Didn't you take on four kaiju at once? Then 7?"
Dagon slammed his fist into the ground, then he ran his fist through as he went for an uppercut, sending dirt and rocks into Battra's face; she shielded her eyes and clotheslined by Dagon; he grabbed her leg, slamming her into the ground, he raises her into the air, but she quickly fires a beam to his finger forcing him to let go.
"Funny how you can survive being in a black hole but can't deal with me," Battra chuckled. "What happened to the rest of your abilities?:"
Battra grinned and dashed to Dagon; he smirked as his eyes quickly flashed blue, and he unleashed his atomic breath. This one was different; Battra could feel it; her eyes widened as she promptly avoided the blast grazing the side of her legs.
The beam destroyed two mountains before the energy dispute, Dagon fell onto his knees, his body weakening. Dagon felt as if his second wind was fading, her belief that he possibly burnt away most of Battra's toxins, but that seemingly turned out to be false, and her biting him again most likely added more into him. Dagon forced himself back up as he glared at Battra, who was on the ground, her wound slowly healing as she winced in pain, rubbing a hand over it.
"See what talking shit gets you?" Dagon asked. "Can't handle a bit of my super atomic breath, can you?"
Battra didn't answer him; she only glared.
"I got to say, you gave me a good fight. Not sure if you rank above Ghidorah," Dagon grinned, "And she trained for two days, decided to stop, and went 50% with Godzilla and me, and she was doing good. Though I'll never admit that to her…and well, you took my energy and poisoned me,"
Battra continued to glare at the taunting Godzilla as he walked around her.
"And no wonder your attacks hurt; I'm technically fighting myself," Dagon said. "Without me, you'll be a sorry excuse of a goddess."
Battra growls as black scales shoot from her wings; Dagon shields his eyes as the scales cut his body, Battra fires silk from her wrist, which hits a boulder, and she swings it to Dagon; he notices the boulder, and he punches it to pieces. Battra leaps into the air, moving his fist aside with her left arm as she jabbed him. Dagon stumbled back, and as Battra landed, she kicked him in the side; Dagon grunted in pain and went for a right cross; Battra moved both arms up to her chest, the strength of the blow nearly breaking her arms but with a grimace on her face, she grabbed his arm with right hand burning his flesh as she does. Battra swiftly elbows Dagon in the front and lifts his arm into the air as she does a spin around it, locking her forearm around his, and she pulls back with enough force to fracture it nearly. Dagon let out a roar, and Battra raised his arm in the air twirling around under it; as she still held onto it, she reeled her fist back, hands covered in purple energy as she delivered a right cross powerful enough to send him to face first into the dirt.
Battra holds her arms and slowly walks towards Dagon, webbing him to the ground as she falls to her knees.
"You may have the strength to take me on and the durability…but you lack the skills needed to fight me," Battra bites down on Dagon's neck, taking in more of his blood.
Battra's wounds begin to heal, her injuries almost instantly fixing themselves, and once Battra does that, she returns to storing up the energy to use in her plans. Battra grins as she opens her mouth and moves back, Dagon's wounds slowly heal, and she smiles as she rubs Dagon's cheek.
"As much as I hate your species, and you specifically….I never had this much fun in years," Battra told him in a sickly sweet tone. "And don't worry, you'll get to live and see what I can accomplish with your wonderful gift."
"Sister, stop this!" Mothra shouted as she landed with Godzilla,
"Mothra, I don't think she's in the mood for talking," Godzilla told her before glancing at Dagon. Both locked eyes, Godzilla cracking up while Dagon's eyes told her all she needed to know.
"No, dear sister." Battra said, "There is no more talk; now you're standing in my way,"
Battra quickly dashed towards Mothra; she nearly avoided the punch. Mothra attempts to blast her sister but is kicked across the face. Godzilla grabs Battra's shoulder, turning her around, she punches Battra across the beginning, but she only grins at the punch and throws one towards Godzilla.
Godzilla slapped her fist out of the way and elbowed Battra in the face. Mothra gets back up and leaps into the air slamming her elbow onto Battra's shoulder. Nearly falling over from the blow Battra blast Godzilla in the chest, and she turns to punch her sister. Mothra flies back, spitting silk into her sister's face; Battra attempts to pull it off but is kicked in the face by Mothra, who flies into the air, firing lightning at her sister.
Battra fights through the pain in her attempts to get up, her eyes glowing purple and the silk around her face burning away. Godzilla fired her atomic breath into Battra's side; the moth roared louder as both Godzilla and her sister were frying her from both sides. Battra begins to channel all her pain and rage to go back at them again. Purple energy arched from her body again, and she let out a pulse, forcing both beams back. Godzilla shields herself from the blast; Battra blast burnt away clothing and flesh in certain spots while Mothra flew out of range.
Batta flies from the crater instantly, the wind pressure cracking the ground even more while Godzilla slides back.
"Oh no, you don't" Godzilla inhaled and fired her atomic breath at Battra, who created a shield deflecting the blast. "Damnit!"
Battra grabs Mothra's arm and knees her in the stomach. Mothra quickly jabs her sister in the face, who gives her a grin after the punch.
Godzilla watched as her lover fought her sister; she looked at the ground and remembered what Dagon had said and how he flew out of the water; she exhaled. "Can't believe I'm about to try this,"
Godzilla inhaled, plants glowing blue, and she jumped into the air, quickly firing his atomic breath into the ground–She did not get the desired effect. Instead, a short explosion launched her skyward. As Battra reels her fist to hit her sister again, Godzilla hits Battra sending her to the ground while Mothra grabs Godzilla's legs.
"Godzilla, what did you do?" Mothra asked.
"I don't want to talk about it…now what do we do?" Godzilla asked, firing her atomic breath at Battra, who tried to get back at them. "She's stronger and faster than us."
"I don't want to kill my sister…we need to wear her out until we can contain her," Mothra said. "Then hope to change her mind,"
Battra laughs as she flies back at them. "My mind is already made up! You can't change me!" Battra roars only to get sideswiped by another blue blast, sending her higher into the sky.
Mothra and Godzilla turn to see Dagon, who has gotten to his knee at least. Mothra quickly flew towards him and landed.
"How the hell did you lose?" Godzilla asked.
"I didn't lose…she had access to an instant power up along with poisoning me each time she drained…and through other means" Dagon answered, "But look, during our fight, I noticed the more she used her beam attacks and got hurt she lose the energy faster….you need to get her to deplete what she took from me, then go for the finishing blow….but do not let her drain you,"
"And what will you do?" Mothra asked.
"I can't get too close; she'll find a way to drain my energy…and if she does, we would need to do this repeatedly," Dagon answered. "I'll stay here and blast at her, forcing her to evade."
The two nodded, and Battra crashed back down on the ground, wounds healing. Dagon's blast destroys most of her armor.
"That's it! I'm killing you all!" Battra roars, 'Divine justice will prevail!"
Battra fired her beam toward them, and each dodged, but Battra quickly fired at Dagon again, knocking him back. Godzilla and Mothra bolted towards Battra, who grinned; running towards Godzilla first, she grabbed her arm and punched her in the stomach, Battra wrapped her arms around Godzilla, and she flew into the air spinning around and throwing the queen into the ground, Mothra leaps over Godzilla punching Battra in the face.
Hitting the ground, Battra back rolls back onto her feet, looking up to face her sister, who leaps into the air going for a punch which Battra blocks by putting an x above her face. Mothra goes for a kick to the neck, which Battra blocks, but she is hit in the side by Godzilla's atomic breath.
Gasping in pain, Mothra grabs her sister's neck, lifting her into the air and slamming her into the ground. Battra blasted her sister off and scrambled to her feet, but Godzilla kicked her as hard as she could into a boulder, breaking it to pieces. As the dark moth was kicked through, Godzilla fired her atomic breath into Battra, who roared in pain but quickly flew aside, hitting Godzilla in the stomach with her lasers.
Battra quickly ran at Godzilla, and Mothra attempted to intercept. Battra backhanded Mothra behind her, fist glows purple, and she leaps into the air, raising both fists above her head and slamming them into Godzilla, who falls onto the ground. Battra reached for her but dodged a blue beam from Dagon; she hissed, firing her laser into his chest and sending him to the ground again. Godzilla slammed her feet into Battra's side, cracking a rib.
Battra grabbed Godzilla's leg and struck it once; as she went for another, silk wrapped around her arm, pulled back by Mothra; Battra turned to look at her, but a blue beam hit her arm in its entirety. Battra let out a loud agonizing scream as she fell to the ground; Mothra's heart breaks hearing her sister scream in pain. Battra looked at her burnt arm, most of the skin around it missing; the wound started to heal as she held her arm, Godzilla walked forward, but a swift punch to the stomach brought her to the ground, she stands up blasting Godzilla was hit in her back, letting out another scream she turns to face Dagon shooting him yet again. Godzilla punched her burnt leg.
Battra roared in pain, turning to kick Godzilla to the ground; she raised her leg, but another atomic blast impacted her stomach; she held back her scream and fired a beam toward Dagon's face, he roared in pain as he fell to the ground and she turns her attention to Godzilla.
"Sister, please." Mothra would try again, placing a hand on her sister's shoulder, "Please stop it….I don't want this to continue…"
Battra elbowed Mothra as hard as she could with her freshly healed arm. Mothra buckled over in pain, and Battra kicked her sister away.
"Mothra!" Godzilla shouted; Battra turned her attention to Godzilla, glancing at her with uninterest
Battra kicks Godzilla in the side, then kicks her in the face so she can fall onto her back. Battra stomped on her stomach as hard as she could, smiling in delight as Godzilla coughed up blood. Battra then stomps on Godzilla's left arm breaking it and punching Godzilla across the face as hard as she can. Battra grabbed Godzilla by her collar and threw her into a mountain, she looked back towards Dagon, expecting another blast, but he was still on the ground.
Battra grins, slowly walking towards the male, a smile on her face.
"You took a lot out of me." Battra purred, "Imma need another fill so I can finally start."
Battra hops near Dagon and kicks him onto his back as she bends down to his neck; licking her lips, she opens her mouth, but Dagon grabs her neck quickly, moving her away from him; Battra's eyes flash purple, and Battra fires a beam, but Dagon moved out the way and punched Battra in the face, she stumbled back hissing in the process, she spits silk at Dagon's arm and goes back at him, a beam hits Battra in the back. Battra hissed, her eyes flashing purple as she turned, aiming to fry Godzilla's brain, only to be met with darkness.
Battra was confused until she realized all too late what was going on, especially when her vision turned purple. Godzilla placed her hands over Battra's eyes, forcing the beam to backfire and light to come from any opening around Godzilla's hand. Battra gasped as the beam went off, unable to stop it, and seconds later, an explosion erupted, throwing them back while covering the area in smoke.
The first kaiju to get up was Godzilla, who looked around for Battra, spotting her in a crater. Godzilla squinted her eyes to see if the moth was alive, and her question was answered as Battra rolled onto her stomach, slowly moving her knees to her chest as she swung her upper body in the air to get up. As if she had no spine, her body leaned back as she sat on her knees before forcing herself to move forward, now looking at the dirt.
It took minutes for Battra to stand finally. The last bits of energy work hard to heal each section of her body when she attempts to use it. Her legs shook as she got her bearings, and she looked around the field, spotting Godzilla Battra would lazily turn to face her and slowly approach. Godzilla noticed the burn marks surrounding her face, with purple energy flowing through the wounds on her face. Battra finally reaches Godzilla, grabbing the side of her clothes while she glares at her.
Her strength was weak; she fell on her knees, head against Godzilla as she struggled to stand.
"It's over, Battra," Godzilla told her.
"No!" She weakly shouted, "It's not over! It's never over!"
Battra attempts to stand back up, starting to hyperventilate in range, but she finds her body wrapped in a cocoon. Battra turned to face her sister, who approached her with Dagon.
"Sister…" Mothra gently said as she bent down to Battra's level. "It's done….please…stop this…I don't want to keep you as a captive on the island."
"No!" Battra snapped; Mothra backed up as Battra's face filled with rage. "It's not over! This planet needs to be saved! I need to enact divine justice."
Mothra sadly shook her head as she stood up; Battra glared at the three kaiju staring down at her. The sadness on Mothra's face and Godzilla looking down on her with pity. Dagon's stare was the worst to her, staring at her with contempt, the same look she gave him and the rest of his species. It infuriated Battra as creatures under her looked down on her; they still got to leave while she was defeated and unable to save the planet. Yet there was a thing of shame, of remorse when she saw her sister's expression. Battra growls to herself before stopping as she thinks it over; Battra continues to hyperventilate before firing her prism beam out of her eyes, not to attack them but in frustration.
Battra fired her beams haphazardly as she roared in rage before falling onto her back, firing the beam into the sky and letting out one final roar of fury as tears streamed down her cheek. Battra would fall back on the ground, the years continuing to pour through as she silently cried from frustration as she lay there.

It didn't take long for the kaiju to return to the island; nothing was said when they returned with Battra and Orga's robot. Orga was excited to have her creation back; Leo was more upset that it survived and would be roaming around with the other aliens.
Mothra elected to keep Battra with her, which was for the best. She believes that if she brings Battra with her wherever Mothra goes, Battra may have a new look on life and maybe change her mind about the kaiju.
The humans have already made new bodies for two previous enemies, and they won't stop soon. There's no way to change Battra's mind if the humans attempt to kill them again.
Though there were bigger fish to fry in Dagon's eyes, those crystals that he found were still out there somewhere. If Battra found some, then there's more around the planet, and he has no idea where they are and what they are capable of.
