Rain pattered the window of the apartment. Elsa was sitting at the kitchen island, going over the notes she typed out in her laptop. She looked the window in the living room, gazing over the city of Los Angeles. It had been poring down rain for over a month now. For all the talk of climate change, they never mention months of rain.
She glanced into the living room, where she had the news playing over the TV.
"World leaders gather today to discuss Global Trade, which has been suffering major set backs, as trade routs cross into Banshee territory." The news Anchor reported.
"With the loss of equipment and supplies, many communities say they are dropping out of the Global trade in favor of preserving resources. As new creatures continued to appear in No Mans Land."
Elsa sighed, running her hand through her hair. Global trade was becoming harder to do these passed months. With all this reports of Banshees nesting along several of the trade routes, making it harder to transport supplies. Both from the air and the ground.
Father was becoming stressed with these reports. They were already running low on certain resources.
"While some are sources believe that these are lost creatures coming out of hibernation, many are saying they are the creation from the Titan Killer, the weapon formally develop by Dr. Iduna Marian, who has been missing for over thirteen years."
Seeing her mother's picture brought up screen made Elsa sigh in contempt. She glanced to her family photo in the living room. Ever since the bomb dropped and her mother gone missing, their family had grown apart. Anna left to live with her Boyfriend, Kristoff on the other side of town.
Elsa stayed with their father. Helping him run as Governor and working as his personal secretary. She had gotten engaged recently to her boyfriend, Jack Overland and had just moved in with him. But he was often away on duty.
She looked to the photo of her and Jack next to her family's. He was suppose to be home today. But got called back on a mission to No Man's Land to recover the transmitter.
She hoped he was safe.
Elsa heard her cell phone vibrating on the counter. She walked over and picked up her phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello?" she said.
"Elsa?" Her father answered.
"Hi, dad," she said.
"Did you finish off my notes?" he asked, curiously.
"The Hearing is in two hours."
"Yeah, I got them all here." Elsa said.
"Thanks hun," Agnarr said.
"The transmitters been recovered. I'm heading to the there now. I'll see you there."
Elsa nodded her head.
"See you, dad." she said before hanging up her phone.
She turned back to her laptop and closed the screen, slipping it into her beg. She then got up and walked out the front door.
"Furthermore, Governor Agnarr has tasked Monarch with developing new ORCA transmissions, so that aircraft may pass by without hostility. In a world now ruled by monsters, the question remains, how long can this go on?"
Global Trade hearing, United Nations Headquarters, Safe Haven.
Elsa was seated in Safe Haven's senate. She glanced to her father, who was standing before five wide screens of the Governors, who were apart of the Global Trade.
"As you know, Global Trade was formed so that communities could share resources," Agnarr insisted.
"But with recent nesting of the Banshees, most of our routs have been compromised. And with the loss of recent transports, Global Trade has been becoming more difficult. Which is why I've tasked Monarch with developing new ORCA frequencies that should allow us to slip by Banshee nesting grounds as well as other winged titans."
"And what about the new species Monarch has recently discovered?" One of the Governors on screen spoke up.
"Will these frequencies be able to protect our aircraft from them?"
Dr. Ilene Chan and her sister, Dr. Ling, now the heads of Monarch, spoke up in the jury.
"We are currently researching the ones we've been able to capture," Dr. Ilene insisted.
"So far our tests have proven to be effective like they were with the other titans. So far we've managed to interpret their calls and have found the right frequencies we can use to draw them off."
"Thank you, Dr. Chan," Agnarr said, nodding his head.
"I understand your concern, Governors. But I can assure you that we are doing everything in our power to ensure the safety of humanity."
"Thank you, Governor Agnarr," said the Governor of the southern state.
"But we still haven't heard one good reason why Operation: Counter strike shouldn't be initiated on these creatures."
The mere mention of counter strike caused Elsa to glanced worryingly up at the governors. It had been the talk of many of the communities. For all remaining military personal to try attack all nesting sites or any other titans converging on any communities. Though it was considered to be a last resort for any of the remaining nations, Governors like Shane Austin have been pushing for it with these Banshee attacks.
But attacking them would only make things worse. The casualties of personal would be even greater then these recent attacks. The men and woman who's lives would be on the line.
Her fiance, Jack.
Agnarr shook his head.
"With all due respect, Governor Shane," He said.
"Operation counter strike should be a last resort."
"These creature are highly territorial," Dr. Ling insisted.
"Especially when it comes to their nesting. Attacking them will only case them to revolt."
"It almost sounds like you admire them, Dr. Ling." Governor Shane complemented.
"I admire all forms of life." Ling stated.
Elsa glanced to Dr. Ling. That was quite the admirable thing to say, especially when it came to the Titans and all the creatures beyond the wall. She sounded like mother. She always said that the Titans were a blessing in disguise. That those like Godzilla were Good. And that he and those like him were here to defend humanity.
Grandfather never did like that.
He always argued that her beliefs and those of Monarch were all idiotic. He always said that mother was filling their heads with fantasy. And that all the titans were all monsters.
"These creatures were created by the cells of Godzilla's DNA," Dr. Ilene Chan explained.
"They are a staple of him. They are now part of the Earth's new ecosystem. Killing them would be a mistake."
"And speaking of which," One of the other Governors said.
"That brings us to the matter of Godzilla. Monarch was tasked in informing us of his whereabouts. And we have had several reports of ships disappearing in the pacific. Are you certain not one of these attacks was by Godzilla?"
"I can ensure you senators," General Runeard spoke up.
"We are doing everything we can in tracking him down. I already have all remaining navy ships scouring the pacific as we speak."
Elsa saw Dr. Ling lean to her sister and whisper something in her ear. Dr. Ilene shook her head. Ellsa frowned. Seeing the two sisters together made her think of Anna. She hadn't spoken to her in almost a month. She had been so busy as of late.
"Governors, if I may," Agnarr said.
"We should really-"
"I'm afraid we have already decided." Governor Shane insisted.
"With the loss of aircraft and personal, we believe Global Trade should be postpone till we see results."
"Governor Shane," Agnarr said.
"That is all, Agnarr," He said.
The screens then turned black as the Governors signed off. Elsa frowned. She glanced to her father, who stood speechless.
"Damn it," he cursed, shaking his head.
Elsa walked out of the entrance of the UN headquarters along with her father. She unveiled her umbrella and stepped out into the rain. She felt her cell phone vibrating in her beg. She pulled out her phone and saw a picture of Jack over the screen. She pressed the answer button and put it up to her ear.
"Jack?" she said.
"Hey, babe," he said.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me that?" she said, playfully.
Agnarr glanced back to his daughter
"Can't help myself," he joked.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Jack said.
"I just got off of duty. So i was thinking we could go on that date tonight."
Elsa paused for a moment. She frowned.
"I'd love to, Jack," she said.
"But I have to help my dad tonight."
"Oh, right." he said, disappointingly.
"I'm sorry." she said.
"Hey, no problem," he said.
"I'll see you later tonight."
"Yeah, love you." she said before hanging up her phone.
"Was that Jack?" Agnarr asked, curiously.
"Uh, yeah," Elsa said.
"He just got off of duty."
Agnarr smiled.
"Well that's great," he said.
"Why don't you two go out tonight?"
"But what about...?" she asked, curiously.
Agnarr shook his head.
"I'll be fine," he insisted.
"You've been working hard these pass couple of weeks. You haven't spent much time with each other since you've gotten engaged."
Elsa glanced to the side. It would be nice to spend some time together. And maybe Anna and Kristoff could come as well.
"I guess i could use a break," Elsa said.
"Are you sure you'll be alright?"
Agnarr nodded to her.
"I'll be fine," he said.
"You just go and have fun tonight."
Agnarr came up and kissed Elsa over her forehead, cupping her shoulder.
"I love you." he said.
Agnarr turned and walked down the steps to his car.
Racing through the lush underbrush, a young woman in her early twenties brushed through the leaves and palms. She came out of the foliage to a small stream, where she leaped over one stone after another. Near the other end of the stream, she stopped, glancing back. She had long brown hair, light skin, brown eyes, a broad nose with slanted eyes, wearing a light, strapless dress and was holding a staff.
"(Come on, Ryder!)" she said in a language unknown to the outside world.
It was then a young man no older then her came out of the foliage. He was quite muscular, with the the same hair, blue slanted eyes, wearing a light brown sarong.
"(Honeymaren, would you slow down!)" he said in the same language.
"(Come on!)" she said, aloud.
Ryder leaped over one of the rocks before jumping to another. As he came up to Honeymaren, she turned and continued across the stream. She then hoped over the banks and raced off into the jungle.
"(Honeymaren!)"
Honeymaren bushed through the underbrush and came out into the clearing. She then stopped peering and saw a plaza with several pillars overlooking a strange valley stone mountains peering from over the tree tops.
"(The stone peaks!)" she said.
Ryder came out of the foliage behind her, struggling to catch his breath. He then peered up to the stone peeks ahead.
"(The stone peaks?)" he said, glancing nervously to his sister.
"(Mother said we're never to come here. No one is to go yllnear him while he sleeps.)"
Honeymaren turned to her brother.
"(All the priestess are to make their voice heard by Gojira,)" she insisted to her brother.
"(And since I'm about to come of age, I need for him to hear my voice. So that he will hear the prayers of people through me.)"
"(Are you sure we should be doings this now?)" Ryder asked, curiously.
"(Shouldn't we wait for when mother...)"
Honeymaren walked into the plaza.
"(Wait, Honeymaren!)" He said.
She glanced back to him.
"(I'm not waiting anymore, Ryder.)" she said to him.
She turned and continued walking to the plaza. She glanced to one of the pillars and saw a stone carving of Rodan, the fire demon. Along side a carving of behemoth, the forest . She glanced to her right and saw Methuselah, Scylla, Ceaser. She then turned forward peered to the two main pillars.
To her left, she saw a stone carving of Mothra, Queen of the monsters. And as she turned to the main pillar in front of her, she then stopped. Peering up at the carving of Godzilla, the King of the Monsters.
Honey came down down over her knees, setting her staff next to her. She then bowed before the pillar and began chanting to the stone carving.
"(Oh mighty, Gojira, hear thy prayer,)" she said.
"(Oh mighty Gods, hear thy prayer. I speak as the voice of my people. As my Mother. And her mother before her.)"
Ryder glanced up at the stone pillar of Godzilla.
"(May our people continue to live under your will,)" she continued.
"(May you continue to bring the earth good fortune. May you continue to watch over thy people.)"
Honeymaren glanced back up at the pillars. For the moment, it was but silent. When suddenly, she felt the ground below her began to shake beneath her. Honey leaned off the ground, glancing up at the pillars.
"(Honey!)" Ryder called to her from behind.
There was a loud crumbling sound coming from the stone peaks then heard a loud sound to their left. They turned and saw a long tail rising from the earth. The mountains then began rising from the jungle, causing trees and earth alike to fall to reveal a familiar giant reptilian form with two long arms with claws along each finger. A reptilian-like muzzle, along it's back were massive dorsal spines.
Ryder came up to his sister, peering up in awe.
"(Gojira!)" Moneymaren said.
Godzilla raised it's head and let out a great roar. Signifying his return.
The people in the village peered up in awe at the sight of Godzilla. One of the villagers, a man with lighter hair dressed in a sarong, turned and ran to a temple like structure at the end of the village. He came up to the steps, where a older woman with long white hair, wearing a strapless dress, holding a long wood staff walked out of the structure.
"(Yelana!)" he said.
"(Gojira have awakened!)"
Yelana stared up at Godzilla. She then narrowed her head as she thought. Godzilla had been resting for over a few years now since the titan war. Why now has he awaken?
Unless...
She then widened her eyes.
"(It cannot be!)" she said.
She them turned to the man.
"(Bring the knowledge seeker here.)" she said.
The man nodded his head. He then turned and raced off into the village. Yelana then glanced back up to Godzilla, knowing that great evil would soon be upon them.
