Act 12

Disclaimer: I don't Godzilla, anime, movies, music or any sort of series other than the OC.

Monster X POV

Battra was the one thing the dimension eater was not expecting. More specifically, Battra's strange oddity. It had never seen anything like this before. Battra had always been bold and ruthless in contrast to its gentle sibling. It was the first time he's seen a version of himself that he can only describe as an "endearing dumbass."

BATTRA POV

"Then she complains to mom about how I do my job. MY JOB! I'm a destroyer, not a healer!" The demonic moth sat next to the statue. "You don't say much, do you?" Battra observes the Abraham Lincoln statue.

He turns to face the humans who have gathered in front of him with more of his strange, enslaved brethren. He comes to a halt as he prepares to stand up and begin another slaughter.

He glances at the statue. "Did you know you're quite tall?" he asked quietly. "Also, how are you doing that? You're not blinking while... Wait, a minute! Hey, help me kick that Glowy bastard's smug face." The moth was unaware that his actions had completely perplexed humanity. Not that he cared; this human could stare into the bastard's light without flinching, so if he can get this human to help him, he'll finally bring that glowing bastard down.

HUMANS POV

He returned his gaze to the statue. "Did you know you're quite tall?" he asked quietly. "Also, how are you doing that? You're not blinking while... Wait, a minute! Hey, help me kick that Glowy bastard's smug face." The moth was unaware that his actions had completely perplexed humanity. Not that he cared; this human(Abraham's statue) could stare into the bastard's light without flinching, so if he can get this human to help him, he'll finally bring that glowing bastard down.

HUMANS POV

In the beginning, everyone was in chaos because of the demonic moth's rampage, but witnessing it talking to the statue of the sixteenth U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, had baffled everyone. It was terrifying to see a monster just 'chatting' with a sculpture, but the creature's bipolar nature still made everyone aware that the situation could change in a blink, and the bloodbath will resume.

"What's it doing now?" Mark asked the captain as they approached their tents. "So far, the moth has been busy talking to the sixteenth president," the captain said, still trying to figure out whether the moth was this stupid or playing a game.

"Have you evacuated everyone?"

"Almost... We're still looking for survivors."

"Rick, how long before Godzilla and Mothra arrive?" Mark said.

"We've got five minutes before they arrive," Rick said, looking at another side of the 3d image. "Gestroyah hasn't moved yet." The man wondered what could have kept the monster so busy.

Mark cast a glance outside the tent and inadvertently looked right into Battra's eyes, his body rooted in place, refusing to move under its watchful gaze. Did that moth blow a raspberry at him?

GODZILLA & MOTHRA POV

The king of monsters was moving as fast as he could to reach the foolish moth's current location. Mothra flew above him. Both of them were concerned about what the moth was doing, possibly rampaging across the land, inviting other Kaiju to rebel against their king in the same way he had.

Godzilla detected his... 'spawn' was approaching Battra, but he ignored the welp for the time being. Mothra detected him as well and informed the king of his decision not to send her to fight the hatchling.

The king of monsters only gave her a sidelong glance. Mothra was his queen, but there were some boundaries she should not cross. She is on the verge of crossing one of these lines right now. He understood her concern, but Battra would almost certainly come to their aid when the hatchling arrived. As a result, they need to get to him first.

He was just as worried as she was. Battra has a track record of operating on his own. Unlike his sibling, his loyalty was to nature, not to him. So he wasn't sure if the buffoon would support them, but at least the fool won't aid a monster that plans to destroy the world.

When he saw he was about to reach the shore. He quickly shuts these thoughts down as he prepares to face his vexing foe.

As they got closer, Mothra let out a distressed shrill. She had no illusions about her sibling welcoming her with open arms. Her heart still aches because of the decisions she made. She was his identical twin. They grew up together, and then she betrayed him when he needed her the most.

She could still hear his cries for help, for someone to save him from his agonizing isolation. He had asked their mother what he had done to deserve such punishment; she recalled.

Could she kill him if he sides with the hatchling? Maybe, but she wondered what would have happened if she had made a different decision. A scenario in which her annoying brother was present.

GESTROYAH POV

The chimeras had finished their argument and were back on the trail of Battra. Biollante had already told them about Battra's past, and they were both concerned and sympathetic to the moth. They were thankful that they could at least defy and maintain their freedom. They had no obligation to protect the environment. The world owed them nothing, and neither did they owe the world.

Battra was a guardian whose sole reward was to be imprisoned in a mountain for an unknown amount of time. That type of solitude could have already driven him insane, and all they could do was bestow the glory of warrior death on him and let him pass on.

"Are you sure about this, Ning? We could have to fight three of them," Odin asked.

"No, but I'm desperate enough to risk it." Ning sighs, hoping that Battra still has some sense inside. Losing a kaiju was disastrous, especially with X returning to end their fight.

"Well, we're with you," Cody said, attempting to lighten the situation.

"Not that we have much of a choice, mate," Odin remarked. "We're trapped in this body."

Before traveling towards the city, the three laughed together. It was now time to confront the Demon of Gaea. "We should plan an awesome entrance," Cody suggested. "You can't be serious," Ning pointed out. "Why not? It's not every day a monster enters with style," Odin says, nodding as he recalls a movie scene.

Ning sighs and shakes his head. "You two are insane," he says as they decide how to display themselves to the world.

BATTRA POV

"Human? HUUUMAAAN?" said Battra as he poked the statue. "Are you paying attention? Come on, I just need you to tell me where the glowing bastard is, and I'll do the rest; I can't hit him without you."

The moth continued to poke the statue, blissfully unaware of the commotion he was causing. "I'm not going to stop until you say something," Battra says, poking the figure again and producing an odd noise. "To be honest, this is the nicest I've ever been to a human; he deserves it for standing up to me; most just run away- OH SHIIIT!"

Battra dodges a beam, but the strike hits the statue behind him. "HUMAN, NO! C'mon, speak to me. Move your hand or something! C'mon, I need you human!" But there was no response.

Battra stood silent before brushing the statue's burns and dust away. "Rest well, human," he muttered before turning to face the perpetrator. "YOU!!!!" he yelled. His rage reached new heights as lightning erupted from his body in reaction.

Godzilla growls, expressing his dissatisfaction, but Mothra remains silent. "First you kept interfering with my job, then you imprisoned me for completing my job, and now THIS!" Battra approached them with more lightning. "YA OVERGROWN LIZARD, YOU'VE MESSED WITH THE WRONG MOTH FOR THE LAST TIME!"

"Stop, brother, you must come with us before it arrives!"

"SHUT UP, MOTHRA! I finally found one nice person, and your KING murdered him."

"Dear brother, that's a statue, not a human!"

"NO ONE CARES! Do you have any idea what I had to go through when you trapped me inside a rock and left me for dead!? With no one to talk to!" shouted Battra, staring at Godzilla. "I finally found a friend, and you took him away!" screams Battra as Godzilla unleashes his full nuclear ray.

"UNLIMITED POWA!!!" screams Battra as an electric dome blocks the beam. Mothra flees as Godzilla uses more force to push the moth away. "GODZILLA!!!" yelled Battra as he tackled the king to the ground and dragged him across the city.

He released a silk-like line to Mothra's body and slammed her into a structure, then to Godzilla, who had just gotten up. Battra rushes in again, unleashing a volley of strikes. Godzilla fires another beam, but Battra vanishes before it can harm him.

Godzilla scans the area until Mothra warns him, but it's too late. Battra used his stinger to strike one of his plates before pinning him to the ground. The demonic moth hurled a hail of lightning at the king.

Mothra charges at her kin, knocking him off the king. The queen of monsters then shot a ray of light at her sibling, blinding him as she struck him with her wing. Despite his disadvantage, Battra's unyielding rage gave him the strength to persevere and strike back.

Before Godzilla fires a massive ray into Battra's chest, Mothra lets forth a terrible shriek. The darker twin runs through the city before coming to a halt and bending low. Godzilla charges in, but his opponent vanishes again, and the next thing he knows, he's soaring through the air with broken ribs.

Battra shrugs off his nausea before feeling a string wrap around his back. Mothra wasted no time, ramming her sibling into whatever obstructions she could find. Battra breaks loose and leaps into the air, following Mothra furiously.

The queen abruptly turns and fires a beam, but Battra is nowhere to be found until something sends her crashing to the ground beside Godzilla. The two stood up and puzzledly looked at their enemy.

How could this idiot face both of them at the same time? He was stronger and faster than the last time they fought. Did he get a boost from the rock? Did his years in prison enhance his ability to this level?

Battra lands on a roof, his expression transforming from confusion to comprehension. "You two have become lazy," he observed. It was accurate. This duel should have been a draw, but he was overwhelming the two. He couldn't feel the instincts that his opponents used to have. No, it was there, diluted and rusting with time.

"What the heck have these two been up to since they locked me up?" he wondered. How did they kill Ghidorah if this was their greatest performance? That's when he realized it. There was a portion of Godzilla's sister inside him, giving the monarch a slight boost in power. It's not much, but it's enough to tilt the scales in desperate situations. His sibling must have performed the ritual in order to empower her king.

Battra snarled. Despite his hatred for the king, he admired his strength but seeing how far he had fallen enraged and disappointed him. It's a miracle that most kaiju still obey his rule, but it's only a matter of time before some rebel.

HUMANS POV

Humanity had fallen silent because of Battra's performance. Godzilla, the king of monsters and Ghidorah's slayer, was beaten to the ground in less than five minutes. Worst of all, it was a two-on-one fight, and they still lost.

Everyone was terrified by Battra's fighting style. He was too fast to be tracked and too powerful to be restrained. Only surprise attacks worked, giving the two kaijus just enough of an advantage.

Mark issues an order to one of the soldiers. "Get me an expert on insect biology," he says, returning his gaze to the screen. Now that they had a better look at Battra, they noticed that while some of his body parts did not fit a moth, he resembled one.

They needed to figure out how to slow the monster down so Godzilla could defeat it. The king was no longer in his element, and they risked losing him if they didn't act.

An hour later, someone enters the tent, and Mark immediately begins questioning him, but the scientist was completely immersed in each image. "Professor?"

"Incredible," the scientist said, swiping the images. "The monster's entire body structure is a compilation of every insect in the animal kingdom." "No, it's more than that; this creature may be the source of all insects, the Father of all insects."
