'Okay, though, what practice do I need? I did pretty well against the Crawlers; besides that, there was a horde of them. That was my only problem, though using actual weapons was a bit strange.' I say through our link as I grab the shield and axe as Livyatan then makes a shield and axe for himself with his ice like yesterday.

'What we will be doing now is doing a quick spar with me using none of my abilities and just using what this form can utilize. That way, you can get used to fighting Humanoid opponents as well,' Livyatan says to me as he takes a couple of steps back and takes a stance.

(MCs POV)

'Let's see how well this goes as this is practice for both of us.' I finish taking my stance and get ready for Kong to fully understand what I have him doing as he tightens his grip on his axe and shield.

'So you want me to fight you?' Kong says, clearly confused, as he thinks over the idea. 'Yes, Kong, I want you to fight me. Now come at me.' I affirm, shaking his head slightly before he breaks into a sprint towards me while pulling his arm back.

I then quickly put my shield up and started swinging my axe towards Kong's leg, causing us to both miss our targets. He quickly dodged out of the way when he saw me swing my axe.

Kong then decided that taking a direct approach may not be the best idea. We started to circle each other, holding his arm out and using his shield to protect his chest. He looked me over to see if he could find anywhere he could attack.

'You need to attack me at some point, Kong; otherwise, I will,' I say to Kong through our link. I then throw my axe towards his head, causing him to quickly put his shield up. I charge forward, ducking behind mine, causing our shields to ram against each other and knock Kong back.

Kong then throws his shield aside as he swings at me, but I parry it to the side with my shield and then punch him in the chest, causing him to reel back slightly as he throws his axe aside as well, and I decide to throw my shield away and let this become a brawl.

'So we are using our fists, and then I think I like this more.' I say to Kong, to which he lets out a low gruff in response as he punches forward; I put my arm up to block but then see him try to kick my leg out from under me, to which I pick my leg up and stomp on his causing his leg to quickly go down and bend slightly with a wince of pain to show on his face as I then go to punch him in the face to which he weaves to the side.

Kong then punches me in the chest as I overextended my arm and quickly realize this is going to hurt a bit. I feel the impact of Kong's punch ripple across my chest and quickly use it as a distraction to sweep Kong's leg as he falls to the floor and realize that a dirt nap is his only option right now as I then punch him in the chest causing him to fall faster and bounce off the floor slightly.

'Well, that didn't go all that badly.' I say to Kong as I rub my chest slightly and just see Kong wheezing and gasping for air as he painfully grabs at his chest, causing me to become a bit concerned before realizing I knocked the air out of him and more.

'You will be okay, Kong. You just need to get up and walk it off.' He just looks at me and gives the motherfucker a real face as he finally gets an actual breath of air before sitting up with clear pain showing in his eyes.

'That hurt, like a lot!' Kong yells through the link as he rubs his chest and lower back. He slowly gets up with a small wobble before looking at what looks like a painful stretch of that of a forty-year-old blue-collar man when coming home.

'Well, what did you expect, really? I kicked your weight out from under you and then punched you in the chest, adding to the downward force. Of course, it will hurt, but I believe that this shows that you fight better with just your hands and somewhat well when using your axe instead of the shield. I say to Kong, and he just nods and sighs as he decides to walk back to the cave and relax for a bit.

'We already knew I would fight better without the axe and shield. That is how I have been fighting all my life, besides the occasional use of a tree as a javelin.' Kong says as he enters the cave and leans on the entrance wall.

'True though, your use of your axe can be improved. Even though I threw mine at you, it was for a diversion and one that worked, as it made you throw your shield aside.' I say to Kong, and he just nods as he thinks about how he could have done better.

'That is true, but I will be going over how this currently hurts, which is already going away, but you also need to talk to Godzilla too, which you should probably get to as I go around the island and get something to eat.' Kong says to me, which I agree to before I pull a Mire Squid out of the water a good bit away before bringing it over and killing it for Kong, to which he says thank you as I teleport into Godzilla's new lair.

'Well that didn't go all that bad, though I need some improvement as well since Kong hasn't really fought anyone or anything that is Humanoid though to be fair I haven't either, but I also have the memories of a bunch of Na'vi, so I guess it still makes it unfair.' as I walk around Godzillas lair a bit before morphing into my usual form and start to wonder where the big man went as there isn't anyone here currently but some lizards.

'I'm assuming they either went out to find something to eat or someone is being an idiot and didn't learn.' as I then spread my senses as far as they can reach and see that the big man and his wife are breaking up a fight between Tiamat and Scylla.

'Those two are so troublesome for no reason if not for the fact that Scylla is useful to the environment and the big man being so laid back about killing any of them they would have been dead the moment they woke up.' as I then teleport a few miles away from the small group and swim towards them to see Godzilla punch Tiamat back into the water and Mothra holding Scylla in the air.

'Well, you two seemed to have handled this quite well.' I say to the angry couple as they quickly turn to me, just about ready to blast me to bits, before completely realizing it's me and calming down as Godzilla gives a death glare to Tiamat, to which he just snarls too but swims away instead of fighting about it as he looks at me.

'What are you doing here? I don't exactly see anything tragic happening besides some titans being unruly.' Godzilla says through the link as he looks up to Mothra, who nods and drops Scylla, causing her to plummet a bit before roughly landing in the water. As she quickly swims away before anything else can be started.

'I wanted to talk to you about something for the future about who I said should be the king of Hollow Earth. That way, you have less on your plate and can happily relax with Mothra.' I say to the big man, which causes a clear look of disinterest as he doesn't wish to forfeit his control of Hollow Earth and chance any MUTOs getting too unruly and where he can't control them to behave.

'Hear him out, Godzilla. He is only trying to help, and who knows how long you will have me back before someone kills this incarnation.' Mothra says through the links, to which I see Godzilla's resolve to soften for a second before a telltale sign of him being pissed off about anyone killing his wife.

'She does have a point, Godzilla, and besides, you have been commenting on just wanting to relax, so I'm trying to take less of your plate, and with time, you might be able to become friends who I will be making king of Hollow Earth that way you can still take care of problems down there if need be.' I say to Godzilla and see his opinion of it sway more by the second.

'Okay, I will allow it, but I want to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. That also means I would finally have to deal with Skar King, which is something I don't want to be bothered with.' Godzilla says, which quickly causes Mothra to sigh through the link, and a small smile grows on my scaly face.

'That's fine. I can deal with Skar King for you and bring the king who will be replacing him so he can get some more experience, though I would also like to say that it will be at least four years before he moves there as I have something I need to do beforehand and make him king worthy.' I say to Godzilla, and he nods before looking up to Mothra. She just smiles strangely, as she doesn't really have a face.

'Well, I will be leaving then as that is all I wanted to talk about, though. If you hear any loud screeching sounds or complaints, it's because I am getting something from Rodan really quickly to make up for something.' I say to the two, which just receives a look of saying I don't care from Godzilla and one from Mothra, saying as long as he doesn't die.

'Thank you for assuring me he wouldn't care too much, and while he did, he changed his mind with some convincing, so thank you, Mothra.' I say to Mothra, which gets me a your welcome before I then teleport away to Rodans home and dive into the volcano.

'I miss the feeling of this kind of warmth, and even if I can create it myself with my thermal manipulation, it's just not the same as it being natural now. Where is that prehistoric Pteranodon.' I quickly find that a napping Rodan cozied around what looks like an egg with a clear trance of it being alive as it has a heat signature warmer than the lava but cooler than Rodan.

'Well, now I see why he seemed so stupid when challenging Ghidorah and Godzilla. Besides him just being prideful he was also protecting what I can alonely assume is his only child with his mate before she either died or was sent into a slumber in a different volcano.' as I continue to look over the two and make sure not to bother either of them as waking Rodan up while I know of the egg seems like it wouldn't be the best idea.

'I won't be taking that tax, so I will just find the skeleton of his mate and take a quick munch on one of her bones as she did his.' I then take a final look at the egg before teleporting back to the cave to see Kong taking a small nap with one hand crossed over his chest and the other behind his head.

'Apparently, he was tired, though I guess I could always tell him about it tomorrow. I might also speed up the diplomatics with Ishirō, but it is not like I won't be here for a while longer to see other events unfold.' I then walk past Kong into the cave, lie on the cold stone floor, and fall asleep.

----------------------

{A/N Well, I hope you all enjoyed it even though this chapter wasn't a lot besides Kong and our MC having a spar, which I personally feel like I could have written better, but I got tired of rewriting it so many times.

Though I believe I made the interactions with Godzilla about Hollow Earth as realistic as I could for giant superpowered titans while then showing the Rodan egg, which I might implement more in the story, I might not, I don't really know.

But I will now put the usual below, so I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.
