Showa Mothra, for the most part, is rather similar to her alternate variants, with key differences. She's quiet, benevolent, and kind. The divine moth kaiju doesn't really talk to her fellow kaiju's. Heck, the only kaiju she really talks to are either Rodan, Anguruis, or Godzilla. But for the most part, she's rather kind and will talk to other kaiju, but they'll have to start the conversation. She does talk to her Shobijns, or the island natives. The divine moth does see the good in others, will try to reform them, and will help others if asked, regardless of whether they're kaiju or not.
Tumblr media
Heisei Mothra, like her other variants, is benevolent to her fellow kaiju and humans. The divine moth is humble, kind, and sweet. This version of Mothra doesn't really acknowledge she's a goddess at times and prefers not to bring it up. When you get to know her, she comes off as a rather sweet and kind kaiju, and she'll friendly tease you. She also doesn't like killing and prefers sealing kaiju away. An example would be Battra in the movie, where it talks about Mothra defeating him and sealing him away when she could've killed him and Godzilla after she and Battra ganged up on him.
Tumblr media
GMK Mothra is when things start getting different. This variant is willing to kill; take, for instance, the teenagers at her lake. Other than that, the Goddess of the Sea is similar to her Showa variant, except with her friendships, she does go and check on Ghidorah and Baragon from time to time.
Tumblr media
Tokyo SOS Mothra is kind, benevolent, strict, easily annoyed, and positive. This variant is strict and tries to follow the natural order of what was set on the planet to a T. She gets incredibly annoyed when someone or something breaks the natural order; an example of this would be Kiryu. Although she's still incredibly kind, a good example would be her defending Tokyo from Godzilla, even though her demands weren't met yet. The divine moth tries looking at the positive sides of things. Other than that, she's benevolent and willing to kill.
Tumblr media
Final Wars Mothra is kind, sweet, playful, wise, and positive. The divine moth is rather sweet and doesn't try hiding it when she talks to her fellow kaiju; she's playful with her fellow kaijus, maybe doing something that'll slightly or will annoy them to get them to do something. Like maybe laying on a kaiju in a certain way so they'll get up. She's wise and a smart insect, all the years she has been existing count for something. An example would be Mothra telling her Shobijns to warn humanity about finding the mummified Gigan. She also tries to be positive about things, like the humans trapping Godzilla. Well, at least Godzilla's war with humanity is over (naivety at its finest). She's willing to kill; it's not her first choice, but if worse comes to worse, she'll do it. Gigan is a good example of this. The divine moth is very scary when she's angry, but that's with every Mothra.
Tumblr media
Legendary Mothra is kind, wise, teaser, and positive. This version is arguably the only version of Mothra that isn't a goddess; other than that, the Moth Titan has two modes: playful and serious. Playful is her usual self; she is a happy-go-lucky titan and always treats her fellow titans with respect and kindness. She's incredibly wise and knows a lot of things about the past and maybe the future; she's very positive all the time. She loves teasing her friends about things. Serious, now that's when she can get scary; she's not opposed to killing, but it depends on whether the titan could be redeemed or not. Ghidorah? No, Rodan? Yes. She's also very scary when she's angry and is one of the few Mothra's that has a good relationship with Godzilla.

@wintershub asked: *sliiiides into the inbox* Might I inquire the Mothra lore? She's my favorite character and when I watched "Godzilla vs the Monsters' they didn't explain a whole lot about where she came from, etc, etc.
Tumblr media
Not a problem at all, I got you.
But also there's like over 70 years of films to talk about. So. It's all under the read more cuz there is a lot.
Mothra's lore changes depending on which incarnation we're going with, though for the most part, it usually sticks very closely to the original version of her from the 1961 Mothra film. Put simply, she's a guardian of the natural order of Earth who often opposes Godzilla due to his constant rampaging against humanity.
Alongside that, she also acted as the guardian deity to a group of previously uncontacted humans on Infant Island, and among them existed a duo known as the Shobijin, who are, for all intense and purposes, tiny fairy priestesses for Mothra who can communicate with her on a telepathic level. They also can do similar with other humans, and even with other Kaiju.
Following this, Mothra would come into conflict with Godzilla in the 1964 film Mothra vs. Godzilla, when Mothra's egg washed ashore in Japan following a typhoon, only to be claimed as the property of two greedy businessmen looking to make a quick buck off of them. Not long after that, Godzilla reappears and begins to rampage across Japan, heading straight for the eggs, so a group of humans traveled to Infant Island to plead to a dying Mothra to use the last of her strength to fight Godzilla to defend her eggs and the innocent people in his way.
During this whole conflict, the egg would hatch, and twin larvae of Mothra would emerge, also contributing to the fight after Mothra had died. But not to worry! As, being a creature of more magic, telepathy, and spirituality than anything else, she is reborn through her children. That's right, Mothra is a cyclic creature! Anyways, with Godzilla fended off, the larvae and the Shobijin would return to Infant Island, and the movie ends.
From there on, during what is known as the "Showa Era" of the Godzilla films, Mothra would make constant appearances in the films. But, after Mothra vs. Godzilla, she would reappear as an ally of Godzilla instead of an enemy. In fact, in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster they would team up to defeat the space dragon, with this marking the point where Godzilla officially begins the switch from "destroyer of Tokyo" to "defender of Japan". So one could say that she dragged Godzilla kicking and screaming into having a moral compass lmao
But, then, the Showa Era would wind down to a close in the mid-70s, as dwindling returns on the films demonstrated a growing disinterest in the Japanese market toward Godzilla. So, Toho put the franchise on ice. But then, in 1984, on the 30th anniversary of the release of the original Godzilla film, the Big G would be revived with the Return of Godzilla film. In this new continuity, the only Godzilla film that happened prior was the original, as all others were discarded to create the new "Heisei Era" of films.
And then, in 1992, Mothra would return too with the film Godzilla vs. Mothra. In this, Godzilla is reawoken when a meteorite crashes into Earth, but alongside him is awoken an entity known as Battra, and in response, the Cosmos, the Heisei Era's version of the Shobijin, appear to warn humanity about Battra. They explain that Battra was created by the Earth itself to act as an opposite to their people's deity, Mothra, and as such exists as an evil nature-destroying bat-moth thing. Fans like to create content of him being Mothra's brother lol
Initially, the fight was a three-way between them. But as Godzilla rampaged more and more, the two nature spirits teamed up to fight the King of the Monsters, for the first time in history. The two are able to subdue Godzilla and begin to fly him away from Japan, but as they get over the ocean, Godzilla kills Battra and forces Mothra to drop him into the water bellow. She then places a seal over the ocean in the hopes of preventing Godzilla from returning, and to honor Battra's sacrifice.
Unfortunately, the following day, it is revealed that Battra was destined to destroy a giant meteor that was heading toward Earth. So Mothra must travel into deep space to try and change the course of the meteor, which will kill her in the process. But she would not be alone, as the Cosmos would join her in deep space.
Mothra's last appearance in the Godzilla Heisei films is in 1994's Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, where, during her travels through deep space to confront the incoming meteor, she becomes aware of an even graver threat hurtling toward Earth. Unable to abort her mission, she sends off several hundreds of tiny Fairy Moths, with one being sent back to Earth to warn a powerful psychic of SpaceGodzilla's impending arrival and urge her to try and keep Godzilla safe from his space clone's goals of killing him and conquering the Earth. After this, Mothra sacrifices herself to stop the meteor she initially set off to stop.
But Mothra would end up returning in a whole new way within the Heisei Era. As, following the Godzilla franchise's then conclusion with Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, Toho created the Rebirth of Mothra film trilogy (which has nothing to do with any films made before these ones), and follows Mothra's son, Mothra Leo, fighting monsters like the ancient Desghidorah, who is responsible for Mars being uninhabitable, in the first film and Dagahra in the second.
But the most interesting thing is that in the third film, Mothra Leo has to be sent back in time to fight King Ghidorah during the Cretaceous Period, due to him being much weaker at that time. While in the present, Ghidorah abducts children from Earth to consume their life force. Ghidorah is also responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs in this timeline. But, in the end, Leo must use all his strength to kill Ghidorah, ending with him sacrificing himself for a peaceful future.
Then, in 1999, the Godzilla franchise would once again return in Japan after the 1998 American attempt failed so badly, Toho couldn't help but bring Godzilla back out of fears that Roland Emmerich's "Godzilla In Name Only (GINO)" would taint the franchise. This would start the "Millenium Era" of Godzilla, and Mothra would make a few appearances here too.
Firstly in the 2001 film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, where she operates as something closer to a traditional Japanese Yokai, but this time she is allied with King Ghidorah and Baragon, who also act as guardian spirits of Japan in this film. With, this time, Godzilla being the combined anger of everyone the Japanese Imperial Army massacred during WWII, coming together to get revenge on Japan at a time when they have tried so hard to pretend none of it ever happened.
Now, it is important to state that the Millenium Era was an anthology series, as opposed to a continuous narrative like the Heisei Era, or a loose narrative like with Showa. So with every film, it was a whole new world doing brand new things.
The exception being the Kiryu Saga, starting with 2002's Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, and 2003's Godzilla: Tokyo SOS. In this, Mothra appears in her traditional guardian goddess role, with the Shobijin returning as well. This time, they are here to urge humanity to not continue using their new Mechagodzilla, nicknamed Kiryu, as he is built on top of the bones of the original 1954 Godzilla. Mothra views this as a perversion of the natural order of things, and she is right in the end as when they send Kiryu out to fight the current Godzilla, the dormant spirit of the original Godzilla reawakens and takes over Kiryu, leading to it rampaging.
But, in Tokyo SOS, she takes an active role of fighting Kiryu alongside Godzilla to restore the balance of nature, though she also fights Godzilla due to him, y'know, stomping on humans. In the end, Kiryu and the spirit of the original Godzilla reconcile and become one, sacrificing themself to drive Godzilla away and keep their pilot safe. All the while, Mothra goes through the usual process of death and rebirth through her larvae.
Mothra also makes an appearance in 2004's Godzilla Final Wars, a big bombastic Kaiju smackdown finale for the Millenium Era, but so does every other Kaiju in Toho's arsenal, so she doesn't get much to do. And she wouldn't have much to do in the plot of that film anyway, as it is just about an alien species secretly taking control of every monster on Earth, except for Godzilla who was defeated in the past when he was dropped inside of a giant canyon in the arctic and buried in it. He is then woken up by a desperate group of humans and led across Earth to mop up the alien-controlled Kaiju and defeat the aliens.
The Godzilla franchise then goes back to sleep for another 10 years, with it being woken up by Legendary's Godzilla, and the start of the Monsterverse. Mothra, like always, returns eventually as well. In 2019's King of the Monsters, she appears as a stronger ally of Godzilla, with the film going so far as to state that she and him have a symbiotic relationship. Her wings are even designed to have patterns based off of Godzilla's eyes on them.
For the film's plot, she happens to awaken at just the right time, as a group of eco-terrorists looking to use Titan radiation to return Earth to its natural state, as Titan radiation does cause rapid and extreme plant growth, break into a top-secret Monarch site in the arctic to release and awaken King Ghidorah, while not knowing that he is an invasive apex predator, one that almost killed Godzilla before, and almost does again during the film. But, in the end, Mothra sacrifices herself for Godzilla. And when she dies over him, she releases a special sort of radiation that supercharges him, letting him absolutely obliterate King Ghidorah, and reduce him into nothing but ash.
And now we come to spoilers for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. So if you haven't seen that yet, but plan on it, don't read!
But, as you can guess, in this film, Mothra returns once more! In this film, they reveal that she is the guardian deity of the Iwi people, a group of humans that once resided on Kong's Skull Island before it was destroyed by the eternal storm that once kept the island hidden from the outside world, as well as the Hollow Earth that all Titans, and maybe all animals in the world, came from. She is reawoken in accordance to an Iwi prophecy, which states that an Iwi from Skull Island, which is Jia, who was introduced in Godzilla Vs. Kong, would reawaken Mothra at in time for her to help Godzilla fight the tyrant Skar King and his enslaved ancient apex Titan, Shimo, to stop him from conquering the Earth.
They, of course, do just that. And she lives this time! Horray! Now. Honorary shout-outs to a couple of facts:
The director of King of the Monsters, Michael Dougherty, is a shameless Godzilla x Mothra shipper, and his opinions on that ship shaped their relationship in the Monstervers. To such an extent that, in KOTM, a US Marine, upon learning about Godzilla and Mothra's symbiosis, makes a sex joke. Asking, "So do they got like. A thing going on?"
This relationship continues in Adam Wingard's GxK, where Mothra is the only creature in existence that can tell Godzilla to be nice to Kong, who he was previously attempting to fucking murder because they had an agreement at the end of GvK. "You stay down there, I stay up here, and we never see each other again." All the while, Kong is trying so desperately to tell Godzilla that they need to go down to Hollow Earth to fight Skar King together. As best he can with a creature that only knows Anger.
Mothra's most prominent moves in all films is her ability to shoot webs, something no moth can do, and using various different "scales" to attack or heal or do whatever. Once again, something no moth can do.

Godzilla rewatch: Godzilla and Mothra
My copy of this is on the other side of Godzilla vs King Ghidorah and doesn't have a subtitled track, so I'm not sure how much is dub creation and isn't. One thing that stands out is the really goofy over the top voice they give this old guy who seems to mostly be there for reaction shots. Another stand out is when the Cosmos ask Mothra not to hurt any more people and Mothra turns right around and crawls straight through a building. I'm guessing the line there was a bit different in Japanese. I seem to recall finding some of the banter between the divorced characters kind of funny, but I can't remember a specific interaction now that I'm sitting down for it, so there wasn't anything too memorable there I guess.
The overall movie feels a lot like a reboot of the original Mothra movie that's being speedrun a bit to fit in an evil twin and Godzilla. Enough of the movie is on Mothra that it feels really weird that she gets written out of the rest of the Heisei movies, or at least it seems like the Mothra Rebirth trilogy should have tied in to some degree. Kind of a Pilot with no follow up or something.
I haven't seen this movie very often though, I've just been more prone to rewatching Showa or Millenium series than Heisei, so I was a little surprised by how aggressive and effective Battra actually is, especially as a larvae. The flying form actually seems like a bit of a downgrade in battle power for him but it's still kind of cheap that he can just decide to assume it and glows for a bit while Mothra still has her whole cocoon process. When Mothra's egg hatches and she's using the ship to keep some cover between herself and the other kaiju I have to say, that ship is tough. It takes a lot of laser blasts, attacks that destroy groups of armored vehicles, like a champ. - speaking of that, the fact Heisei Godzilla is willing to blast little larval Mothra at the get go definitely establishes him as more persistently villainous than Showa Godzilla who fought Ghidorah for doing that. Heck, it took a long time for still a villain Showa Godzilla to retaliate against Mothra larvae (though he was a threat to the egg? I guess he had a small window for 'acceptable target' there)
It's mostly a case of not having many scenes in Destroy All Monsters, but I think this is the most destructive Mothra I've seen. Plowing through buildings and ships, it's kind of funny after hearing about how Toho insisted Mothra not kill anyone in 2019's King of the Monsters. Still she's definitely the least dangerous of the movie's three kaiju. Which reminds me in the first Mothra movie a telepathic link meant it was inevitable that Mothra search for the fairies/cosmos/shinobin but here they actively sing for her to come get them which I can see as coming off as much more premeditated destruction. Kind of weird when they tell Mothra to go back and Mothra doesn't take them along at first. I guess it's so the attack and cocoon can happen.
Everyone being surprised that Godzilla survived a lava bath is sort of funny with the time gap between Returns and vs Biollante in mind, but I guess this Godzilla didn't go through that, because of the time travel from the last movie? Or he both did and didn't? Dang, previous movie goofs everything up. Deep breath, it's a loose continuity, 'something kind of like the last movie might have happened, but maybe it didn't is the rule here. And YET! Mothra's still written out of the series.
Is it just me or is that climactic battle really weird looking? Maybe it's just because I'm from a rural enough an area I'm used to seeing all of Orion pretty easily, but it just does not feel like a night sky to me. Could be effects failure, but I can't say for sure without asking someone from a city with no stars in the sky. The big deal made of Battra catching the Ferris wheel before it falls on Mothra is kind of funny too, sure she's more delicate than the others, but if she can hang with a pair that fought through volcanic activity it seems odd she'd bee threatened by a heavy bit of metal. Well, whatever, it establishes that the insectoids are allies now and they can do their team up, it works fine. Battra seems to take a lot of damage easily here but I suppose there's run time to consider.
Two movies in a row there's a sacrifice to drop Godzilla back in the sea to save Japan, but this time he's not tied up in a bunch of mechanical grapples so it seems like he'd probably get back up more easily than last time even though they glossed over the fact he should be pretty entangled with Mecha King Ghidorah's body. Sigh, loose continuity.
It's a shame we haven't seen Battra again outside of side media like games and comics. I've seen people say that he and Megaguirus make each other redundant, but aside from them being spiky flying insects I feel like they have very different roles and personalities so that they don't really do that.

Godzilla: Crossroads AU Christmas Special
SPOILER ALERT! 
You have been warned
Ivory and Emerald by @cardbrobot
Endera/Enki by @imjustwhiddle
Bakunawa by @tuzi0usagi0bunbon0bunny
Miwa by @hot-tortilla-fish
2066, Christmas Eve
Emerald stretched her legs as she awoke before noticing a blue streak across the sky. Grandpa! She thought as she skittered across the icy terrain. 
Jet Jaguar had just come from His Mother’s grave in NYC, he visits her every holiday. He Grew back to his normal height of 360 ft. just as Emerald skitted across the dock nearly falling into the icy waters. Jet Jaguar snatched up his hyperactive Grandchild and placed her on his shoulder.
“Where’d you go Grandpa?” Emerald Chirped “To visit my Mother, I hadn’t been to see her in a while.” Jet said walking towards his den, which was an old aircraft hangar “Your Mother? But what does that make her to me?” The little hybrid asked “She would have been your great grandmother, and I would like to believe...” Jet sighed “That she would’ve been glad to meet you” “Why couldn’t I meet her?” Emerald cocked her head “Because she passed before you were born” “Passed? Like Grandma and Grandfather?” “Yes like Grandma Mothra and Grandpa Goji, but she passed more peacefully” “What about grandpa’s mother?” “Godzilla’s mother? Never met her, but I have met Mothra’s” Jet said as he entered the hangar “Who’s that?” Emerald said climbing down his arm “Baki? you’ve met her” Jet said grabbing a pillow for her to sit on “but I don’t remember her... is that wrong?” Emerald lowered her head Jet snapped his head upward and looked over to her, before placing his finger under her chin and lifting her head back up “It’s not wrong, you were just to young to remember...” Jet suddenly had an Idea “Tell ya what, we’ll go visit her today, how’s that sound?” Emerald Smiled
“That sounds like an excellent Idea” Minarva said lifting her head up, It appeared the conversation had awoken her “Morning Beloved”
“Morning My Love” Jet said placing his head against hers
Ivory and Junior liked the idea as well, but Junior did have one request. He wanted to visit his brother, to see if he’s changed. Jet was hesitant to grant this request, Ultima(Formerly Minilla) was locked up for a reason, he tried to kill Miwa, Ivory, and Emerald. But when Minarva volunteered to take Emerald elsewhere while they talked to Ultima, he agreed.
Junior, Ivory, and Emerald loaded onto a barge that Jet pulled across the ocean, when the time came Minarva offered to take Emerald ahead, while Junior talked to Ultima. Jet Jaguar was behind Junior just in case
“Brother...” Ultima Snarled “Come to gloat?”
“I would never, Minilla” Junior moved closer to Minilla
“MY NAME IS ULTIMA! You pathetic wimp!” Ultima said charging up his atomic blast, only for his cage to release a carbon based mist that dampened him. Ultima coughed before falling unconscious due to the mist also being an anesthetic. 
“Well, that went exactly as I expected it.” Jet Jaguar rolled his eyes, as the group boarded the raft and blasted off towards the Philippines.
Bakunawa’s home was mostly recovered from Bathala’s attack 18 years ago, and she had even been given a new Christmas tree by the locals, as a thank you for watching over them. The Serpentine Goddess floated in the air above her home enjoying the night sky, until she heard a familiar roaring noise. Not an actual roar, but one of engines. The Blue speck of light caught her eyes on the horizon. She raced across the ocean to reach it, and it was who she thought.
“Jet! It’s good to see you again. Did my children wish to speak to me again?” Baki asked, Since Mothra died, Jet Jaguar and Leo have been the only ones capable of communing with the departed. He can see Mothra, and she says that Goji’s there too, but Jet hasn’t seen him. Jet will visit Baki if Mothra or Battra ask him to, he would also do it if Kaezia asked, but she never asks him for anything.
“Nope, it was actually someone else.” Jet Jaguar pulled the raft forward, Emerald was practically teetering on the edge of it, her tail wagging like a puppy.
“Great Granny!” Emerald Chirped at the Serpent
“Oh My Dear Emerald, How much you have grown” Bakunawa said, swishing her tail to below Emerald. The little hybrid hopped on to it, as her parents climbed onto dry land nearby. Bakunawa took Emerald on a ride through the sky, and regaled her Great-granddaughter with her favorite story, how she ate the moons.(Jet’s still not sure how true that story is, but he can’t disprove it either so...)
After Emerald went down for bed, Bakunawa asked Jet if she could talk to her children.
“Of course, All right guys, I’m turning on my vision. If any of you jump scare me, I’m pulling out my proton knuckles.” Jet said before his eyes shifted from blue to green. “AHHH!” Jet Jaguar fell on his ass “Get back here you ectoplasmic pain in my ass!” Jet flew into the sky after a being Bakunawa could not see, but definitely knew was Battra. Jet eventually returned to ground, and prepared to act as medium.
Mothra was first. “Hello Baki, I’m happy we are able to talk again” “Hello Mothra, how have you been child?” “Fine, I’m mostly assisting Jet, with a little visit to Leo know and again” “And why are you spending more time with your knight than with your son?” “Leo doesn’t want me over his shoulder all the time, but he enjoys my company.”
“Also my knighthood is not hers anymore” Jet Interjected “It’s Queen Miwa’s” 
“You will always be my daughters knight in my eyes”
“Thanks I guess?”
Jet proceeded to Channel Battra and Goji, but their conversations were much shorter, as Jet is less friendly with them. Jet eyes returned to blue, but before Baki left Jet asked her to wait.
“I remember your stories fondly, the good and the bad” Jet said, collecting himself. “I remember how you told me with such delight about your mother, and how much she loved your tail” Jet pressed a few keys on his gauntlet, a beam of light spread out and scanned Baki. A hologram of Baki showed up on Jet’s wrist.  “And the sorrow in your eyes as you told me how you lost it” A Double Helix appeared near the hologram of Baki. Then the Double Helix twisted into the shape of Baki’s missing tail  “Now I hope to return that delight, and diminish that sorrow” The hologram of Baki and her Tail joined toghether recreating Baki as she was.
“My gift to you, old friend”

Behold! My Kaiju OCs! :D Introducing Titanus Aragon and Titanus Weraga
Titanus Aragon: Owl/Heron kaiju, located in depths of Hollow Earth. He’s a big loner compared to some other kaiju and his defense and weapons include: sharp steel like feather, strong legs with sharp double claws and great eyesight thanks to his 6 eyes. Fellow titan allies: Kong, Weraga. He has a big respect for Godzilla and Mothra too tho and has an unknown enemy. He doesn’t like to be involved in titan fights unless it’s necessary. His personality is calm and very intelligent (or as I like to see him, Master Oogway with a voice of Thomas Sanders :DDD). In symbiotic relationship with Weraga. 
Titanus Weraga: Wasp/Hornet/Mecha (few parts), located in Gerlach (Slovakia), very aggressive and cunning. Her weapons consist of her mecha body parts on legs and chest area, her extremely venomous stinger and sharp diamond wings capable of cutting through any kaiju. Fellow Allies: Godzilla, Aragon, Scylla and Battra. Loyal to her king and queen no matter what. Her relationship with humans is complicated mainly cuz of their damage on her body with the mecha parts, ignores them but doesn’t hesistate to kill if her allies are in danger. She’s also a great fighter but her smallness gives her disadvantage in fights (smol bby). In symbiotic relationship with Aragon.
Feel free to ask more about them if you’re interested! My ask is open :)

tw for: death, animal death, and suicide. pls take care of urself and don't read this if those things are triggering for u <3
ok lets get on with the post
at the start of entropy zach doesnt waste any time getting right to the point. this place is bigger than the other planets so far, and zach says the music this time around is a melody that “started out normal but then got distorted” played by a violin sounding instrument. even tho i do sometimes forget that this is supposed to be a creepypasta im not surprised that he said it made him feel depressed and unnerved lmao. anyways, this planet has all new level types in it!! no reused ones!! ok now this is epic. the bosses this time around are megalon, battra, and mechagodzilla, but itll be a good while before we get to those guys because this chapter is long as hell holy shit?? buckle up babez <33 now, before i get into the meat of things as usual im gonna talk abt the planet name! entropy basically means “a lack of order/predictability or a gradual decline into disorder” and that's very accurate to this part of the story. at this point, red is pissed off and is getting desperate, which means from here on out things are going to be getting more intense and more unstable. this world is the turning point in the overall story, basically.
now with that out of the way, zach first goes to the worlds quiz level as usual! this time something was different. usually, in the quiz levels there would be goofy ass music playin in the bg (specifically the GH1D0RA cheat music, if you wanna like listen to it ig?) but from here on out its been replaced by the music from the games password screen, which zach called creepy earlier on in the pasta. im gonna glaze over the quiz again this time, but when we get to the next planet ill talk about all of the quizzes in depth all at once. basically all you need to know for now abt what happens here is face asks “do you like mothra?” and when zach picks no (after going on a tangent abt how mothra sucks lmao,, bro i swear im good at the game my controllers just messed up /s), face enters bastard mode and goes “TOO BAD!” and boom now zach cant play as anyone but mothra. zach is pissed for now but little does he know this is just going to become an even more epic gamer bc of this,, youll never get better at something if you never try and all that.
after that, zach moves on to the first level type- the forest. immediately zach gets an eerie feeling from this level bc he has some kinda fear involving forests at night (i can think of a reason why but ill have to talk abt that later just to be sure). hes also not feelin great about being forced to play as mothra, so the pressure of it all is def starting to get to him by now. the music in the forest is woodwinds followed by slow, rhythmic drums and chiming bells. must have been some ominous woodwinds and bells bc it made him feel like he was intruding somewhere he shouldnt be (oh rlly?? u dont say,, everything up until now has been fine /s). getting into the level itself, eventually zach comes across some weird deer-like monsters just vibing and scares them away when he gets close. later in the level he finds more of these weird deer along with a sloth-like creature on some of the trees and some raptor dudes killing some of the deer. zach shoots one of the raptors but thats about it. nothing really happened in this level but zach noted that he didnt feel like he was playing a video game, but instead it felt more like he was exploring a forest in another dimension. thats interesting for reasons ill ~get to later~ (yall must be so tired of hearing that by now omg,, i know im tired of saying it at least. i was gonna wait until after replay to talk about things but i severely underestimated how long this whole project would be, so i might make a post for the “more on that later” stuff before i get into replay. let me know what u think i should do).
anyways, the next thing zach checks out is the first tv screen level so far. these levels just play an animation with some music in the background, and theres a different animation per level. this time around the animation is of a kid with a beaver(?) head licking a lollipop and the music is the GH1D0RA music that the quiz levels used to use. the only thing of note here is that zach says he had a shirt that looked just like that when he was a kid. after that, were off to some of the weirdest fuckin levels in this whole thing imo- the hourglass levels. these levels have an entirely brown color palette, with grandfather clocks standing in the background (the level appears to be in like a hallway or something) and various time measuring things floating in the air. the music is the same as the board (ig cosby just didnt feel like thinking of what theme this place would have lol). after a little bit zach was rlly happy to see actual enemies from the normal game show up! these are basically like aircraft, tanks, etc. thats not the main attraction here tho, bc this level has its own unique mechanic! this mechanic is the colored hourglass items you can pick up. there are three of them, a blue one that slows time down and makes enemies from the past appear, a red one that speeds up time and makes enemies from the future appear, and a green one that made the time flow normally and spawned enemies from the normal game. zach found the blue one first, which caused a bunch of prehistoric enemies based on real animals to show up. after that he found a green one and fought normal enemies again, and then he found a red hourglass. the future enemies here look like aliens to me, and zach says that one enemy reminds him of something he saw in a book once. eventually, a special future creature showed up and zach was suddenly in a boss battle! or a mini boss battle? that description is probably more accurate. this guy doesnt have a face, and he can only attack by shooting a beam from his face, it sure does look cool! after zach beat it tho, he was off to the next level type, which is basically a toxic waste dump.
zach called it grungy and inhospitable, with the music being a synth ambient loop that made him feel dizzy while he listened to it. this is important because this is the first instance of the game making zach feel something *physically*, not just psychologically. all of the enemies here are mutated to some degree, with him first seeing green mummies with bird skulls coming out from vats of toxic slutch and a brownish cow skeleton monster with spider legs. later zach comes across a deer from the woods, drinking some toxic slutch (delinchous). zach got close to it to try making it stopped but suddenly some enemies came out of nowhere and scared it into running right off a ledge and into the slutch. rip :pensive:. after that zach found more mutated enemies (i.e some things with tentacles and some other deformed thing with human teeth) before he finally gets to the end of the level, where theres another miniboss waiting for him!! this ones a toxic sludge monster with a whale skull who attacks with a mouth projectile and by charging into you. the monster sank into the slutch and thats all for this level babeyy!
the next level is another forest, but this time its winter! its still at night, but this time zach doesnt feel off put, which he mostly attributes to the music. he describes it as a gentle, calm song that almost sounded romantic. the entire first segment of this level had no enemies in it, but dw this level is interesting i swear. the next segment starts out just as empty as the last one, but this time its silent. that is, until the music from “unforgiving cold” starts playing. yaa you remember that place!! i think i said it was less interesting than i remembered but its interesting again now bc it was foreshadowing these levels!! anyways soon after the music started up, zach started to come across tons of frozen bodies of the deer from earlier. some were mutilated, some werent, but they were all frozen and covered in snow. eventually zach does come across something living though, a sloth creature from earlier! its just vibing when suddenly the winter versions of the raptors from earlier rush in and fuckin obliterate the sloth thing. those things just blindly try killing everything in sight, and even start fighting themselves before zach finally gets to the last part of the level.
now this is where shit starts to get crayzay. this part opens up to a big empty field with a full moon and the nice music from earlier back. despite the nice music tho, zach immediately starts feeling dread and eventually he finds a lake. the lake comes down from the sky and starts to crack like an egg, a humanoid figure curled up in the fetus position dropping into the lake below and the moon halves disintegrated. this spawned the moon beast, the hardest challenge zachs had to deal with so far. after he finally defeats it, the screen goes to black and the name “melissa” is on screen, written in red. after that, the screen then says kys. the word kill then fills up the screen, layering over itself until it forms a picture of reds face. its now that we finally get to hear abt the whole melissa thing (which makes it sound like shes been mentioned in the pasta before this but thats not what i mean lmao). to summarize, zach had a middle school gf named melissa (also bro middle school?? wadda hell) who often went into “episodes” where she would stare off, expressionless, before trembling and putting her face in her hands. she and zach hung out in a field at night a lot but one night she just stared at the moon the whole time before running into traffic and dying.
NOW its finally later!!! were not done with entropy yet, but this is the end of part one of entropy so i wanna just take a little break to talk about things so far. this planet is FULL of symbolism and foreshadowing. to start off, i think a lot of the questions face asks at the beginning foreshadow things that happen. some examples are “is time slipping though your fingers?” which could allude to the time levels, “do you have any regrets?” which i think obviously foreshadows the whole melissa thing, “is it safe to go out at night?” and “do you find it hard to sleep at night?” both follow the same kinda theme, which i think relates to how the melissa incident happened at night, specifically out at night. i dont think the forest levels have anything too important in them, other than to introduce the presence of an innocent, harmless creature that doesnt deserve what happens to it later (aka the deer things) which might symbolize melissa. more evidence for this symbolizing melissa comes from the encounter with the deer in the toxic dump and the winter forest, where in the former zach tries to stop it from hurting itself but is too late, being forced to watch it die, and in the latter the same innocent thing from earlier is found dead close to where the real incident took place. the two big themes to keep in mind here are death and time, more specifically the past. most of the enemies here are either made from bones or kill other enemies, there's a dedicated time level referencing things that zach remembers seeing at one point (aka that one alien zach recognized), the beaver head had the same shirt as child zach did, it all connects to zachs past and the death of melissa. as for the moon beast, its the most obvious reference for reasons ive already explained. i dont really know what the moon cracking open and dropping a curled up human into the lake could mean other than some other thing melissa related, but i *do* think that the fact that the moon beast is the most difficult thing zach has faced so far is symbolic of the fact that the trauma from this event has followed him throughout his entire life, and its something he struggles with daily. it could even be the reason why he said no when face asked if he could sleep easily at night. the moon beast also has some black fur around its neck, which i think is meant to represent a tire track, referencing and/or mocking the way melissa died.
its so cool how this entire part of the story builds up to and foreshadows the bomb it drops at the end of the part, giving people something to look back on. a lot of ppl say that as soon as the melissa stuff gets introduced the story goes down in quality, and i do somewhat agree with that sentiment, especially if they want the story to actually be scary, but i think the direction the story goes from this point on is so unique and cool. it does follow the whole “theres a ghost in the game” troupe (even tho it was probably seen as a spin on that originally) but it doesnt do the same cliches as so many other gaming creepypastas do and it really takes the concept and makes it its own. i just think its neat,,,
anyways im done gushing abt this story, lets get on with part 2 of extus!! basically zach has a fuckin panic attack and, after taking a few minutes to calm himself down when its over, he decides that he has to finish the game now because if he doesnt its just going to haunt him for the rest of his life. zach has now realized that the game is “alive” and can somehow see his thoughts and memories, so understandably hes pretty freaked out by it at this point. when he keeps playing, the first thing he does is check out another tv screen level. this time, the animation is of a fish dude just kinda standing there with his mouth flapping open and closed and the music is the neptune board music from the original game. the only reason i can think of for why this is here is maybe the game is mocking zach for the panic attack he just had (bc when u have a panic attack you feel like you can barely breathe, if ur lucky enough to have never had one before and u dont know) but thats abt it. its probably just a random goofy thing cosby threw in there.
anyways, the next actual level is the first labyrinth level. this time around, its a gold labyrinth specifically. the music in these levels is a slow, ominous drum beat with female vocals occasionally coming in and (basically from here on out) the monster zach plays as is now half the size it used to be. i think this shows how zachs feeling at this point, like this whole thing isnt just being a big strong monster and beating up enemies any more, he feels small and scared and helpless in the face of something potentially dangerous that he doesnt understand maybe his confusion about the game is the reason *why* theres so many labyrinth levels here in the first place. anyways im getting ahead of myself. personally, i think the aesthetic of the gold labyrinth is very similar to the green temples back on trance. while trance had a more circular and soft theme to it's architecture and sculpture, entropys is much more square or rectangle oriented. despite this, i think that the golden mazes at least are another religious kind of building, and the architecture is just different because theyre two different cultures who just happen to worship the same spiritual figure (aka melissa. did i say that earlier? i think i did,, if i didnt well the religions worship melissa, not knowing she's a dead human or anything. probably).
moving on, zach notes how the gold labyrinth would probably have been impossible to navigate as any of the other monsters, so turns out face being an asshole was a blessing in disguise after all huh? anyways this place is full of weird gold monsters, lava/fire traps, and stone faces (both in more of an easter island head style and in the regular feminine headshot weve seen so far). zach comes across two feminine heads, one that is more adult looking and pure gold, and another one that looks much younger and whos eyes have red irises and blue scleras. this statue apparently looks a lot like melissa did on the night she died, so zach leaves it pretty quickly. i *think* this is the first time we see the color blue associated with melissa? if it isnt sorry abt that, its been a couple days since i worked on ngcr so ive forgotten some of the smaller or more subtle things by now. GOD i keep getting side tracked ANYWAYS eventually zach finds a non-gold enemy and sees it get picked up by like an arcade crane claw. hes curious so he follows the claw, only to see the monster be put in a big gold cauldron and walk out the side of it as a gold monster.
gonna be honest, no idea what the hell this could mean. like? theres been no themes of corruption or good things becoming evil so far so this just kinda. exists,, yea idk lol. im not part of like any discord servers or anything so all this theorizing and analysis has just been me, maybe getting some small ideas from like random youtube comments or something, so if something ive said so far has been unanimously disagreed with somewhere i dont know about it. thats also why this isnt really a definitive or comprehensive analysis (even tho im trying to be as comprehensive as i can).
anyways zach finds the exit soon after and hes on to the next level type (there's so fucking many of them ik dont worry weve almost gotten to all of them now), the indigo cliffs. the background of these levels is similar to the blue mountains from trance, but now the moon and clouds from the toxic dump background is also here (and colored indigo to match). the music here is just a deep rumbling noise. the first “enemies” he sees here are just a bunch of multicolored little guys coming out of a hole in the ground and jumping off a cliff. were continuing the death theme yall!! anyways zach continues, flying over some more weird creatures (tho some of them just look like dinosaurs lol) before he sees a bunch more of the multicolored guys out and about but this time theyre getting grabbed by birds!! wadda heel!!! zach comments on how the multicolored dudes seem eager to die and thinks maybe the moon has something to do with it (like melissa dude wat!!!! that's crazy /s). at the end of the level there were some more multicolored dudes just walking into a creatures mouth so zach attacked the thing and killed it and the levels over yay!
now its time for the bosses babeyy!!! first zach fights battra (basically an evil moth kaiju), the music is varans theme. battra starts off in his larvae form, where he basically just fought by running into you and shooting stuff at you. while fighting this form, zach noticed that the game buffed mothra because his gamer skillz were too cringe lmaoo. he beats the larvae form and battra goes into his second form, where hes basically a stronger clone of mothra (misogyny). zach fights battra and has fun doing it (for once,, good for him) and he wins yay! next hes fighting megalon (a big beetle/bug kaiju), whos music was gigans theme. im tired when im writing this so ill just give you zachs description of how he fought: “strong, persistent, but dumb”. after this, zach checks out the last tv screen of entropy. this time, it shows a big buff guy with a sack over his head hit a womans head with a sledgehammer while shes tied to a table or something. the music for it was the password theme. i think this is probably here because red is getting angrier? like this guy is still here after i triggered his ptsd?? what the hell!!!
anyways before we get to the last boss we have one last level type to get through- the shadow labyrinth. at this point, zach starts to feel drained because no shit sherlock you just had a panic attack and youve been playing this game for fuckin several hours at this point of course youre fuckin drained. anyways zach enters the shadow labyrinth, which is a black recolor of the gold labyrinth. the music is “evil ambience” similar to unforgiving colds music but distinctly different apparently. there werent any enemies so zach just kinda wandered for a while until the lights turned off, darkening the whole screen and (secretly) spawning tons of spooky enemies thatll chase and hit mothra in the dark. eventually the lights came back on and zach started scrambling to the exit. when the lights turned back off, zach was able to find one of the melissa looking statues and stood next to it. it warded off the monsters while the lights were off, so zach was safe. i think this shows 2 things: 1) its a little more validation for my “religion in this world worships melissa” theory and 2) it foreshadows the way melissa wants to protect zach at the end of the game. zach beat the shadow labyrinth a lot faster than the gold one so were done with all the stages now!! now theres only the last boss and red and were done with entropy!
the last boss is mechagodzilla, but when zach starts the level, normal godzilla is there instead!! its whatever tho bc soon the disguise is gone and its just pretty much the normal mechagodzilla fight (but now hes got a gay beam). at about half health tho, mechagodzillas sprite breaks into pieces like gezoras did way back on earth and reforms into not-mechagodzilla. even tho it looks uncanny (and the usage of the face statue on the front is probably there to further mock zach bc melissa) zach beats it p easily and now its time for the chase. ba dum ba dum thats the sound of a chase.
as usual tho, before i get to the red chase its time to talk about entropy as a planet!! i think the best way to describe the layout is “a big forest with a toxic waste dump in it takes up half the planet while the other half is a large religious temple/labyrinth with a dangerous underbelly”. there doesnt seem to be any intelligent life there now (its all dead by now probably) but there was at some point at least because imean the huge labyrinth is there dude!!! i dont have much to say for this section tbh bc i feel like i've already said everything i wanted to, so its time for the chase ig!!
basically the chase with red here takes place in a labyrinth level bc of course it does. this labyrinth, however, seems to be made of some kind of organic matter. is it flesh? organs? nondescript viscera? idk but it's pulsating and bloody. also this time red has wings too!! anyways, basically zach avoids red throughout the maze, red breaks through one of the walls with his big alien tongue, and zach gets to the end of the maze. nothing crazy happens at the end of this chapter (i think it was crazy enough as is) so thats the end of that and now its time for the penultimate planet- extus.

Showa Ghidorah Backstory
I mentioned earlier that I would share the backstory of my Showa Ghidorah canon. I take no credit for this, as I read it in the book, “Godzilla vs The Space Monster” and liked it enough to make it canon!
Whilst one asked if my Monsterverse Ghidorah is a bioweapon, of which I say can probably say no, Showa Ghidorah is. His creators must’ve been an evul race then, yes? To create such a terrible sadistic creature that can only think of death!
Actually, Showa’s creators were a scared race. When they learned that other life exists out there, they were horrified. “What if,” they went “those races evolved the technology to come here and kill us all?”
They didn’t want that, and scared for their future, they came up with a plan. They would send crystals to each planet they found that had life, to monitor that life. They’re cool with everything, up until that life discovers weapons-of-mass-destruction, like nukes. It’s at that point, the alien race sees them as a potential threat. Best to eliminate them before they develop space travel and destroy their planet!
But how?
For that, they created Ghidorah.
Ghidorah is such a powerful creature, that is designed to wipe out any lifeforms he sees indiscriminately and with great pleasure. The aliens keep him under heavy sedation when not in use and mild mind-control when he’s active. They transport him to the target planet in his signature asteroid, said asteroid would crash into the planet to cause dinosaur-style mass extinctions and Ghidorah finishes off the survivors.
In the book, humans try to destroy his incoming asteroid, causing Ghidorah to break free pre-maturely, kill off the astronauts in charge of the mission, then circles the sun to gain extra power (because he’ll have a bigger task than usual without his asteroid) before coming in to destroy.
Showa Ghidorah never spoke to the native kaiju. He only laughed at them as he defeats all their opposition. They’re beneath him and likely, he wouldn’t know their language regardless. At one point, Mothra and Battra team on him and they were smart; they recognized Ghidorah’s wings as a weak point and targeted those wings heavily during the battle, establishing Mothra especially as the strategist among kaiju. After he had them both defeated and left for dead, Ghidorah retreats to Antarctica to regenerate the damage done in peace. Yes, he too has regeneration, just as Rebirth Ghidorah and Monsterverse Ghidorah. He seems to emit an energy field as he does, so the humans are unable to see what he’s doing while he’s vulnerable. 
Now, Showa Ghidorah is taken from planet to planet and monitored by an AI, but his mind control is mild as he seem largely in control of his own actions. He has strategies for both killing humans and defeating kaiju, and he performs acts of sadism towards the kaiju that defies him. At one point, he personally dismembers and rips off the tail of one of Godzilla’s friends and drops it at Godzilla’s feet to mock him.
Usually, when he’s done destroying the planet’s lifeforms, he goes to the spy-crystals and is placed under sedation again as the crystals is launched into space by the AI and he’s taken back home until needed once more.
In the book, Ghidorah’s attack on earth is ultimately a failure of course. His wings are broken and whilst wrestling with Godzilla, Ghidorah is shoved into the crystal and locked inside. He struggles furiously to escape and keep fighting but is rendered unconscious. The AI, having gained sentience and experiencing character development over the course of the book, tells the main characters that it will stop its fear-filled masters by turning Ghidorah on his own creators. Heavily implying the mass extinction of that entire race, the very thing they feared would happen, done by their own creation.
I love that.
My headcanon continues beyond the book. After killing off his masters, the AI would no doubt attempt to have Ghidorah destroyed so he can’t do anymore harm. However, Ghidorah is too powerful and destroys the AI and now flies free through the universe. He is the rogue bioweapon, continuing on his purpose and design by killing off any life he comes across. His entire being is dedicated to that and he knows no greater pleasure. In this case, the AI’s hope of ending the carnage fails.
Ghidorah however has a flaw. He was created to be susceptible to mind-control and any aliens savvy enough can do just that. Except those aliens were a bit smarter, ensuring Ghidorah was completely under their control. However, when that mind control is broken (often by the humans!), Ghidorah is left dazed and confused and often chased off earth. An exception was in “Invasion of Astro-monster” where Ghidorah is a clear winner against Godzilla and Rodan, but still chooses to return to space.
Because Ghidorah does not take kindly to being made a pawn. When he’s freed, he will seek out the race that humiliated him and destroy them. 
Just as he had destroyed his own creators.

Hey, so...I have another little scenario thought up-one that revolves some interdimensional teleportations, but a scenario all the same:
Let's say, during the Coexistence Route-MV!Goji and many of the Titans he personally knows are transported to Heisei!Goji's universe (by a malfunctioning teleportation device from the humans of the Heiseiverse) . He & everyone else are understandably confused as to where the hell they now are, but then run into Heisei!Goji-who immediately demands what they were doing in his world. Thankfully, Monster X defuses the situation, but before they can try to figure out a way home, other interlopers from alternate timelines/universes arrive (Orga, FW!Gigan, Legion, and a few others) and try to kill them. They obviously fight back, but apparently Heisei!Goji feel under a trance (by a chemical from one of the alien interlopers) that made him hostile to his counterpart (in the meantime, Miki & the humans are trying to see what the ever-loving hell was going on) and attacks him. Their fight ends roughly where I said he would rip out MV!Goji's head in my first post-ask, but Heisei!Goji spared his counterpart while slowly regaining control of himself; then a new opponent appeared-a Ghidorah...Heisei!Grand King Ghidorah to be exact. He starts to soundly beat the living s**t out of Heisei!Goji & came dangerously close to killing him. But the natural Godzilla arrives to help out & they gradually begin to overpower Grand-bur he retaliates hard, eventually regaining the upper hand; MV!Goji still keeps on fighting despite the odds-this here makes Heisei Goji start to respect his counterpart due to his unbreakable willpower, and he decides to repay him by flashing his dorsal plates red and letting out a Red Spiral Ray at MV!Goji's own plates. At first, MV!Goji thought his counterpart betrayed him-but then starts to absorb the power Heisei was giving him, and he unlocks his own ability to use the Spiral Ray-which he then uses to really injure Grand Ghidorah; with their power bringing them back to full strength-both Godzillas work together to slowly tear Grand Ghidorah apart until he was reduced to just one head & shredded wings.
Then, they toss him up into the air-and both ROAR at each other before lancing out their Red Spiral Rays at Grand Ghidorah-acting like two mighty pillars of light: practically vaporizing him into dust when they overwhelm his durability. Once all the alien kaiju are defeated-both Gojis go their separate ways-with Heisei Goji having this to say before going to the sea:
"Until we see each other again....my friend."
The Titans & Kaiju (Heisei!Mothra, Battra, a rebuilt Super MG & Moguera) plus the humans say their farewells as they are teleported back to their universe to rest after that chaotic day....
To prevent any confusion or criticism-this is an Into the Gojiverse scenario I thought up and wanted to share with you. (I hope the No Death rule was only set for August...)
What do you think?
So I skipped to the end because, you gotta admit, at a certain point a certain expectation has been established with these asks, but imagine my surprise when nothing of the terribly fatal misunderstanding has occurred; and instead, we have a positive ending where the only casualty is a villain! Yes!
The No Death Zone is still active, actually; remember, it was stated that the rule would remain in effect until Abraxas and/or In the Footsteps of Shamhat are updated, and was not limited to August. And since neither fic has been updated, the rule is still in effect and will only be lifted after the fics are updated; not before. That being said, NO DEATH ZONE ADDENDUM!
If the party being murked is not a heroic character but an outright villain who deserves a swift and brutal end, it is not in violation and may in fact be considered civic service among the heroic Titans. The death of a heroic character (Godzilla (any), Shin, Junior, the Gojibros, Mothra, Kong, etc), regardless of reasoning, is in violation and will not be entertained.
And so, this scenario is A-OKAY!

Chapter 22
“Anguirus?” He snapped out of his trance, turning toward Mothra. Her wings were still open behind her, patterns glowing green as she absorbed energy. “Is everything alright? You’ve been awake for very long.”
He nodded. “Yeah, don’t worry. I just.. I wanna be there when he wakes up for real.”
Mothra sighed softly, turning toward her sleeping mate. Godzilla’s hair had switched from almost black to a dark, dull blue, and he was emitting his own light, even if it was much softer than her own. Not on the verge of dying anymore, stable even, but certainly not ready to fight.
“You should do like my brother.” Mothra told him, the two turning their head toward the rocky ceiling. Battra was hanging upside-down here, wings draped around him as he slept. “Rest, and conserve your energy.”
“I know I should, but...” Anguirus sighed. “Each time I lay down, I can’t help but think of all the good times I had with him. We’ve been friends for so long, I can barely remember a time when we weren’t... I don’t want to imagine what would happen if he actually did die.”
Mothra frowned sympathetically. Anguirus really was Godzilla’s oldest friend, wasn’t he? “Maybe talking about it would make you feel better?” She proposed.
Anguirus thought for a moment. “I mean, starting off, him dying from something we don’t know the source of is... pretty worrying? Especially when we look at everything else he survived: Ghidorah, Battra, Baragon, a shit-ton of Beetles, Manda pre-sinking of Mu, Ebirah-”
“You?” Mothra asked with a lilt in her voice. Anguirus couldn’t help but laugh at that.
“Yeah, me! And you too!” He noted. “I mean, he just came on my island one day, started screaming at the top of his lungs, and started wrecking shit up. What was I supposed to do, not fight him to the death?”
Mothra laughed. “He never was good at negotiations, was he? During his quest to become King, he decided that the best way to make me come out to give him the Trial of Death was to deliberately provoke me.”
“At least, he had a reason for you! For me, he just wanted to kick someone’s ass because his sisters were teasing him!” Both laughed for a moment, before calming down. “Who else did he survive... ?”
“... Rodan.” Mothra muttered under her breath. “Dear Terra, Rodan-”
Anguirus chuckled. “Yeah, that checks out. Rodan’s temper is even worse than his, would make sense the two would fight. He just takes longer to blow up.”
“No, you don’t get it- when Ghidorah was busy sinking Atlantis, Rodan was busy fighting Godzilla. When I found them, the two kept throwing a rock at each other- Rodan with his head- and I had to tie them up with silk so they would listen. The reason I sought them out is because at this point, they were the only ones who survived an encounter with Ghidorah in the past.”
“What were their reaction.”
“Rodan didn’t give a shit. Apparently, he thought that humans dying out would be a good thing because, and I quote, ‘they’re always mean to me’.” She snapped, Anguirus bursting into laughter. “And Godzilla agreed! Even after Rodan dropped him crotch-first into a tree!” The laughing doubled, Mothra joining in this time. “I mean... I was eventually able to convince them, and you know the rest.”
Anguirus nodded. “Five fucking centuries we spent before we successfully sealed those fuckers away. And now, they’re free again, Godzilla’s dying, and Rodan won’t talk to us.”
Mothra frowned at that. “Don’t worry. We’ll find a way again.”
“I know, it’s just...” He sighed, closing his eyes and turning away. “I can’t help but wonder when it all went wrong.”
-
Rodan stared up at the sky, thoughts circling in his head at a frantic pace. He knew Ghidorah were not good people. They came down from the sky to destroy their world, starting with the king that came before Godzilla, shortly followed by his father, and all of the pretenders to the throne. They liked causing storms that wiped away everything under them for... what? Proving they could? Practice? Entertainment?
They were selfish monsters who only cared about themselves, and everything else was to be destroyed for mild amusement. He knew all that. But if that was the case, then why were they being so kind to him?
Why was Ichi doing his hair for no reason and cuddling him and dancing with him and giving him compliments?
Why was Ni constantly bringing him gifts and food and trying to be less of a sharp weapon for his brothers to yield?
Why was San always so happy to see him and so patient and understanding when he messed up?
Surely, it must have been some kind of trick. Make him lower his guard so he’ll let them out. But they not being the reason why Mara had died, San opening up about his own past wounds, Ni making himself so vulnerable when he was teaching him sign words, still kept him questioning what their intentions were here.
The fact that he was currently being cuddled by all three was not helping with his internal questioning.
He tried to get up, doing his best not to shake them awake, but immediately stopped as he heard San stir. Red eyes blink open in the darkness, locking onto him. “What are you doing?” He asked, a lilt to his voice indicating playfulness.
Before he could think of what to say, he opened his mouth and asked the question that pretty much summed up all of his current worries. “Why are you three being so nice to me?”
San blinked in confusion, tilting his head. “Because we like having you around- sorry, I don’t think I understand your question.”
Rodan laughed bitterly. “Oh please. Literally the only thing you three care about is yourselves.”
San frowned. “When did we ever give this impression?”
“Oh boy, where to start?” Rodan exclaimed, starting to remember acutely the things Ghidorah did in his presence, before all four of them were trapped on Mara. “Ichi thinks he stands at the top of everything, and that whatever doesn’t bend their back forward at the sight of him needs to be destroyed.”
(Godzilla, staring into nothing, expressing doubt of being able to become King for the first time since the beginning on his campaign as he tells his friends how his father died while showing them a wound that would’ve killed him had it striked just a bit more to the left-)
“Or how about Ni jumping anyone who so much as threatens you three? Godzilla and everyone who’s ever met him are convinced that he lives to inflict physical pain.”
(Shrieking laughter echoing as Mothra was punched by lightning again and again in her child form, almost killing her permanently but that clearly didn’t matter as much to Ghidorah as making her cry out for help and in pain-)
“And as for you...” Rodan said nothing after that. Just clutched at the wound on his chest San had inflicted millenias ago, suddenly very aware of the acute pain here. The first time he had been alone with the three of them...
(Come back when you’re worth looking at.)
“You like hurting people too. Not like Ni does, but you do. Your words...” He took a short breath through his teeth. “Your words cut, and they cut deep.”
“Which is why you don’t want to hear the truth.” San suddenly said. All emotions were gone from his voice as big red eyes stared at Rodan, almost burning in the dark.
Rodan withheld it, narrowing his own eyes. “Don’t tell me what I want. The only person who can say what I want is me. Answer my question, San.”
“... We want you to let us out, so we’re being nice.” He admitted, voice still devoid of emotions. “That’s the main reason.”
Rodan frowned. “You guys do realize I’m not gonna let that happen, right? The only reason why I’m around you three is to not go insane mad from loneliness, you said it yourself. Being nice to me isn’t going to convince me you’re actually nice.” Better not mention how much their kindness had shaken him.
“But it’ll make you lower your guard. Tell us things about yourself that you normally wouldn’t tell a soul. And then, once we’ve emptied you of all your secrets, we’d be able to destroy what’s left with an off-hand comment. And that’s when you’d let us out.” There was silence for a moment, before a shaky sound emerged from Rodan. San frowned as he recognized what it was. Laughter. “Why are you laughing?”
Rodan gradually stopped. “Should’ve seen this coming.” Steam clouded his vision as he blinked. “Of course the only moment you deem me worth looking at is when you want to break me.”
“What? No!” San exclaimed, Rodan sending him a skeptical look. “I mean, at first, but things have changed since then! We... we like having you around.” He admitted. “You... you’re like the brightest, biggest, hottest star in the universe, and your presence alone beckons us to get closer and closer, regardless of the risk of getting burnt, just for the chance to bask into your light.”
“... what the fuck are you talking about?”
“What I’m trying to say is...” San grabbed Rodan’s hand, his face warming up at that. “We actually like having you around. You’re like a beacon, and we don’t want to lose sight of you.”
Rodan shook his head curtly, tugging his hand away from San’s as the blush on his face lessened. “Why should I believe you!? You literally just admitted to trying to mentally break me in order to make me a slave!”
“True. We’ve snuffed out bigger flames than yours before.” San admitted. “But none were ever as bright as you. We don’t want to snuff you out anymore: we want you to be our lantern!... you know what a lantern is, right?”
Rodan hesitantly nodded. “Like a torch, but smaller?”
San nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah, they’re pretty similar! To be honest, I don’t think we’d be able to snuff you out, no matter what we try. Next best thing is feeding your flame and having you light the way to our conquest.” Rodan frowned in confusion at that.
“I thought you wanted to kill the planet?”
San giggled. “What, did one of the Moths tell you that?” 
Rodan nodded hesitantly. “Yeah, Mothra did.”
“Come on, firebird. We’re not going to destroy the planet we’re hiding on! That would be very stupid. We just want to adapt it to our needs, and, uh...” he hissed through gritted teeth. “We can’t really help it if all humans are gonna die. Beside, we can’t control something if we destroy it at the first opportunity.”
Rodan sighed, closing his eyes and turning away from San. “Yeah, I guess that makes sense...”
“You want to know what we were going to tell you?” San asked in a low voice. “What we thought would break you before you showed us nothing can?” Rodan frowned, but nodded nonetheless, convinced nothing Ghidorah could tell him would make him change his mind. Oh, how wrong he was. “We’re not the ones who killed your island and your friend.”
“Yeah, I figured out you didn’t destroy my island, it’s why I’m so confused- wait. You guys didn’t kill Godzilla?” He asked, filled with confusion. San nodded. “But... you three hate him.”
“Exactly. If we had killed him, Ni would’ve swam after his corpse to take his head as a trophy.” San told him, Rodan humming in answer. “The ones who killed them... are humans.”
“What!?” He exclaimed, somehow sitting up in surprise without waking Ichi up. “But how- humans are so tiny-”
“Do you remember what I told you, back in the soul realm?” San asked, blinking slowly. “Weaker beings fear what they don’t understand. If you don’t understand how you cheated death, how are beings as puny as humans supposed to understand anything about you, let alone your people?”
Rodan had nothing to say to that. Especially since he knew exactly what San was talking about. Humans that were both very brave and very stupid, usually the ones that could not Hear them,  “I- but how did they-?”
“With machines.” The only answer to that was an incredibly confused frown. “Look, for now, go back to sleep, okay?” San asked, putting a hand on Rodan’s shoulder and forcing him to lay back down. As he was about to retort, Ghidorah gently shushed him. “We’ll give you proof in the morning.”
-
[Telling him what we’re doing was a really stupid move.]
(I know. But his main problem with us until now is that he thought we killed one of his friends and his nest. He now knows we didn’t, and is questioning whether or not we actually want to destroy the planet. I took a calculated risk.)
{And you’re better at math than I remember you being. The biggest setback with this change is that we’ll have to wait longer before enveloping the planet in a storm for good, make an active effort in keeping it alive... Until our dear fire bird dies, that is.}
[Oh... I suppose we could wait just a few more millenias before leaving. I mean, we’ve already stayed on this planet for... what, forty thousand years?]
(Around that, yeah! And uh... I don’t know about you two, but I think I want Rodan to stay around for as long as possible.)
{Seconded, actually. He’s entertaining. Having him as an enraged flag bearer will be interesting.}
[You two should be more careful. You’ll end up getting attached and thinking you owe him something.]
{You’re the one getting language lessons from him. If one of us is going to end thinking they owe fire bird something, it’s you.}
[What-]
(~ Ni owes Rodan ~ Ni owes Rodan ~ Ni owes Ro-)
[I don’t owe him shit!]
{Are you protesting us waiting until he dies a death unrelated to us, then?}
[... No.]
{Then it’s settled. Rodan shall be kept alive, and act as our champion.}

LEGACY OF GOJIRA
My headcanon for the Heisei era timeline pre- and post-Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, and where my stuff fits in.
***
Blacklist “long post” if you don’t want this hogging up your dash. Tumblr mobile doesn’t have an option to use cuts and I just discovered desktop doesn’t let you edit posts created in mobile to insert a cut. Do not leave comments on this post complaining that it’s long or whatever, I already know that and tagged for it.
***
Now, some terminology to avoid confusion.
I will use Gojira when I’m speaking about the creature who appeared in 1954. He is the father of Godzilla.
Tumblr media
And I will say Godzilla when speaking about the creature who appeared in 1984 onward. He is Gojira’s son. (His look changes movie to movie a bit, but in canon he has always looked however he looks in that given movie, with the exception of burning Godzilla, jsyk.)
Tumblr media
Pre-Futurians:
A young adult godzillasaur charges into a battle between American and Japanese soldiers on Lagos island. It’s WW2. He chases the Americans away, but is wounded in the process and collapses on the forest floor. Shindo and his Japanese troops thank him, apologize for not being able to carry him and leave.
An elderly godzillasaur comes onshore with a whale in his mouth and finds his wounded son. He runs to the younger dinosaur’s side, manages to get him to eat the whale meat and tries to lick his wounds clean. Days go by. Infection sets in and becomes sepsis. The younger godzillasaur is definitely dying.
Then a morning arrives where a blinding flash goes off in the sky. Both dinosaurs have the scales melted off their bodies and they are soon covered in fallout ash. The younger dinosaur convulses and screams in pain. The older one holds his hand and conceals his agony behind a stoic visage. He stays by his son’s side until they both black out from the pain.
Gojira awakens weeks later aware that he is different. He looks to his son, who is breathing and unresponsive. Godzilla only moves to writhe, convulse and shriek in pain. Unimaginable anguish fills Gojira because this bright light made him and his only child suffer.
Weeks pass. He waits for his son to open his eyes and tells him to stay on the island. Godzilla always listens when told to stay somewhere. He is too sick and weak to move anyway. Gojira tells Godzilla he loves him and heads out to sea.
Fall arrives. It’s November 3, 1954, and Gojira crashes across Odo island. When he pops his head over the hill, he is telling the humans he will destroy them. He heads into Tokyo not long after. His rampage is an act of pure, spiteful revenge. Days later, he is killed by the Oxygen Destroyer. As he dies, he curses at the humans for the suffering they caused him.
Godzilla spends more time exposed to the radioactive fallout, so he grows a bit larger than his father although not by much. He wanders around Lagos island until the chill of winter arrives. He spends days calling for his father, but gets no answer. So he finally swims out to sea and spends the next several decades alternating between hibernating and absorbing radioactive waste in and around the island.
Finally, he had consumed all the radiation nearby and has to venture out to find more. He also hoped to find his father. So, in December of 1984, Godzilla made his presence known by attacking submarines, a nuclear power plant and finally coming ashore.
(My inserted headcanon) A young 13 year old Miki Saegusa was in the train car Godzilla picked up and dropped. She was the only survivor because her parents shielded her with their bodies.
Steven Martin was correct when he said Godzilla was looking for something. Unfortunately, what Godzilla sought could never be found because his dad is dead. Only Miki knows who he’s looking for.
The situation escalated, ultimately ending with the Super X destroyed and Godzilla plunging into Mt Mihara.
Godzilla was released from the volcano in 1989. He encounters Miki again, gets infected with the anti-nuclear energy bacteria and battles Biollante. After defeating her, he heads out to sea where he proceeds to be ravaged by the ANEB.
Enter the Futurians... Miki Saegusa is among the people from the 90s to go back in time...and here comes the fun part.
🌀🌀🌀🌀
Post-Futurians:
Godzilla is teleported off Lagos island and into the Bering sea at a randomly chosen time (1970s), where he lands on a bunch of nuclear waste and undergoes his painful mutation utterly alone. It’s more violent because the nuclear waste is more concentrated and toxic.
(My inserted headcanon) Miki returns to the present with the others. She feels a weird fracture in her memory, as if aspects of her past happened twice, but she doesn’t tell anyone because it’s too confusing to explain.
Behind her, history is repairing itself...
Gojira comes ashore on Lagos and can’t find his son. The nuclear bomb test happens as planned (which also created King Ghidorah from the abandoned Dorats, but it took a long time for him to grow up to size), and Gojira suffered through his mutation alone, too.
But he no longer had a reason to wait around, so he left the island as soon as he was strong enough to move without screaming in pain. He crosses Odo island and makes landfall in Japan in August instead of November.
When he pops his head over the hill, he is asking the humans if they saw his son or know where he is. They don’t understand, so he gets pissed and trashes Tokyo. He is killed by the Oxygen Destroyer. As he dies, he calls out for his son.
Far away in another time in the Bering sea, Godzilla wanders between unconsciousness and seizures and misery because his surroundings are so toxic. When the mutation process is complete, he is twice the size of his father. He wanders the seafloor, absorbing stray radioactive waste between long stretches of sleep.
The events of 1984 and 1989 play out the same, but people remember Godzilla as being 100 meters tall (328 feet).
(My inserted headcanon) Miki’s younger 1984 self is picked up in the train car as before, but now she senses Godzilla recognizing her and being confused as to why. He shows her images of herself as an adult in a jungle. Her 1989 encounter with him on the helipad dredges up the same confusion.
She lives her life up to the Futurians again, which closes the loop, and now she understands what happened and why she feels like she has lived her life up to that point twice. Past Miki and present Miki are now one and her feeling of fracture goes away.
Shindo sends a sub out to recreate Godzilla to fight King Ghidorah, but he doesn’t know Godzilla already exists until it’s too late.
Godzilla is gravely sick with the ANEB, but Shindo’s nuclear submarine powers him up enough to overcome the illness. He comes ashore in Japan and takes down King Ghidorah and kills the malicious Futurians who created King Ghidorah.
In typical Godzilla fashion, he goes stomping into Tokyo. He encounters Shindo in one of the skyscrapers he is about to knock down. Shindo, the man Godzilla sees as the person who deserted him to suffer through his mutation. He kills Shindo with his breath and comes face to face with Mecha-King Ghidorah. The battle ends with Mecha-King Ghidorah destroyed and Godzilla is plunged back into the sea.
Time has been rewritten, but Godzilla’s existence is a fixed point and cannot be overwritten. No matter what anyone does in the past, the universe will ensure Godzilla exists.
Shezilla happens in 1994 (movie year with inserted headcanon), a year after Godzilla battles Mothra and Battra.
Time splits 2 ways from the moment of her conception in a Petri dish. If the Doctor was flying the TARDIS through here, they will see a timeline split here, and the future they see depends on which branch in the timeline they follow after Shezilla enters the picture.
🌀🌀🌀🌀
BRANCH 1– ‘Canon’ timeline: Shezilla’s mutation overtakes her due to an underdeveloped nuclear gland. She dies. She and Godzilla had conceived a baby, but Shezilla was too sick to survive having it.
Godzilla takes her body to Challenger Deep because he doesn’t want predators to eat her. It’s a massive scientific loss, but there was no way to tend to her body with him hovering around.
He still thinks she will wake up because his heart stops and starts a lot due to his heart defect, and he doesn’t realize it’s an abnormality. Over the next month he tries feeding Shezilla from his own radioactive stores. Shezilla has what is essentially a coffin birth since Godzilla’s radiation was feeding the embryo instead of Shezilla. But the egg can’t survive the intense pressures and it is crushed instantly. Godzilla is totally crestfallen. He nuzzles Shezilla’s nose and the flesh sloughs off. She is decomposing.
Now Godzilla accepts that his mate and their baby are gone to the Stars. He leaves the seafloor in a state of mourning.
The Shrinking Project happens that same day. The man behind it has a vendetta against Gojira, so he’s taking it out on Godzilla.
Shezilla’s spirit possesses Miki Saegusa and tells her Godzilla must live. He has work to do. It takes time for her and Miki to understand each other, but once they do they work together to ensure Godzilla stays alive.
The same group of people behind the Shezilla project rescue Godzilla from the nasty person who only wants to torture him.
Godzilla isn’t doing well while tiny. He begins showing all the signs of acute heart failure. The Shezilla team figures out how to keep him alive by doing something dangerous and unprecedented. They patch the hole in his heart and ablate the underdeveloped nerve bundles that cause his arrhythmias, and he slowly returns to his normal size in short bursts after the shrink ray wears off. A confrontation between him and the nasty vendetta guy happens while he’s man-sized, and it doesn’t go well for vendetta guy.
Shezilla’s spirit can finally rest, so she departs into eternity after a moving goodbye to her mate.
History carries on through BabyGodzilla being found, Mechagodzilla, Fire Rodan, SpaceGodzilla and Destroyah.
BabyGodzilla grows up into LittleGodzilla and then Junior. Godzilla raises the little one as his own. He tells him all the stories his own father told him and imparts the knowledge of his kind’s history. Everything Gojira told Godzilla becomes known to Junior.
After battling Destroyah, Godzilla dies of a nuclear meltdown and his soul ascends to the Stars where Shezilla and a daughter are waiting. All that is left of his physical presence is a lump of corium.
Junior finishes his mutation into an adult godzillasaur. He takes the corium out to sea and lays it in next to Shezilla’s skeleton in Challenger Deep and grieves over them both for a long while.
Then he has to feed again, so he ascends to the surface and takes down an aircraft carrier transporting nukes. From that day on, Junior carries the legacy of Gojira alone.
🌀🌀🌀🌀
BRANCH 2– ‘Survival’ timeline: Shezilla gets very weak and sick because of an underdeveloped nuclear gland, but Godzilla is able to feed her massive, concentrated doses of radiation that allow the gland to achieve critical mass and keep her alive.
A small island becomes a dumping ground for radioactive waste, so the Godzilla family is more apt to go there. Their rampages into cities become extremely rare. Humanity is slowly learning to coexist with kaiju.
MechaGodzilla isn’t necessary and is never built. The metal from Mecha-King Ghidorah is used instead to reverse engineer its technology into things like quantum computers, medical devices, vehicles for space travel and safer nuclear power plants. The Shrinking Project doesn’t happen either because the tech is kept under lock and key and only a few people know where.
Shezilla nests and lays an egg. She and Godzilla are awakened awhile later by the sound of cracking. The egg hatches. It’s a girl with brown eyes. A kaijuologist who speaks Latin nicknames her Filia, which is Latin for daughter.
Junior’s egg is discovered while Rodan is away, so he is taken into human custody without incident. He hatches under Azusa Gojo’s watch and will grow up into a typical unmutated godzillasaur in a safe enclosure.
SpaceGodzilla happens in (movie time) 1995. He tangles with Rodan in the upper atmosphere and sends him crashing into Pripyat, Ukraine. His body falls into the Chernobyl power plant. He appears dead. Nobody will move him until because he is laying on the damage he caused and preventing radiation from leaking out.
When SpaceGodzilla lands, it’s Filia who curiously wanders over to check him out. She gets kidnapped and imprisoned in a crystal cage. Shezilla confronts SpaceGodzilla after hearing her daughter scream for help, and he utterly insults her mate by insisting he would be a better one. She gets enraged and fights him, but he overpowers her and leaves her seriously injured. Godzilla comes ashore after hearing Shezilla’s distress calls. Unfortunately, SpaceGodzilla is already gone. Godzilla. Is. Pissed. Off.
Shezilla recovers quickly. She and Godzilla both go on a rampage towards SpaceGodzilla. It’s a violent, bloody, nasty battle. SpaceGodzilla propositions Shezilla again. This time she says yes, and she seduces him as a trick. She gets SpaceGodzilla all the way to the point of climbing on top of her...and that’s when Godzilla knocks down the tower SpaceGodzilla is using as a power source. Shezilla flashes a grin at SpaceGodzilla and point blank trashes his shoulder crystals with her atomic breath. She kicks him off her, and her and Godzilla both kill him with their atomic breath. Filia is set free and all is well.
In 1996, reports indicate the radioactivity caused by Chernobyl has dropped to safe levels, safe enough that people can move back in.
Then a fireball is tracked over Hong Kong. It’s Fire Rodan, and he is burning up from too much nuclear energy. He decimates large parts of Hong Kong with his radioactivity and the sonic booms of flying by. At the same time, Destroyah is emerging from the water in Japan and causing havoc.
Filia, now the godzillasaur equivalent of a preteen, is awakened from her sleep by a telepathic call from Miki Saegusa and another girl, Meru. They lure her in to fight Destroyah. She’s up for the challenge.
Along the way, she meets Rodan, who mistakes her as the baby taken from his island a few years ago. She has no idea what he’s talking about and figures the runaway radiation is scrambling his brain. She tells him to hang back and off she goes to take on Destroyah.
Then her parents awaken to find her gone and set out in search of her. They end up tangling with Rodan, demanding to know what he did with their daughter. Rodan leads them to where Filia and Destroyah are duking it out at Haneda airport. Seeing her parents arrive distracts her just long enough for Destroyah to stab her in the chest and inject micro-oxygen directly into her nuclear gland. Destroyah throws Filia at her parents.
Filia is mortally wounded. Godzilla tries to feed her from his own radioactivity, but it doesn’t work. She’s too young and injured.
Shezilla goes berserk when she sees her daughter hurt like that. She charges Destroyah while Godzilla tries to save Filia. Rodan rages as well even though the exertion is raising his temperature to dangerous levels. He helps Shezilla battle Destroyah.
Filia apologizes to her dad for running off and stops breathing before he can tell her it’s okay. Godzilla screams when his little girl dies. He charges into the fray with tears pouring down his face and tells Destroyah he is going to wipe him off the earth.
Destroyah manages to cleave Rodan’s chest open with his horn. Now mortally wounded himself, Rodan glides towards Filia’s body and lands on top of her. He doesn’t realize she is dead and vows to guard her. His melting body pumps a massive dose of radiation into Filia’s corpse. She starts to breathe again and opens her eyes as the flesh melts off Rodan’s face. All that is left of him is his skeleton and a cloud of radioactive ash.
Destroyah is about to overpower Godzilla and Shezilla when the radioactive ash cloud surrounds them all. The radiation seeps into Godzilla and Shezilla, filling them with power.
A spiraling red atomic beam blasts in from one side. It’s Filia. Godzilla and Shezilla turn to Destroyah, who is now triangulated between an angry godzillasaur family. All 3 unleash simultaneous spiral red beams and Destroyah is reduced to nothing.
Godzilla and Shezilla are all over Filia, loving on her and crying when asking what happened. Filia answers that Rodan saved her and turns to indicate his empty skeleton. They all share a moment of silence for their unwitting fallen ally and return to the sea, leaving Tokyo to clean up the mess.
Things are uneventfully quiet. Filia grows up into a lovely adult godzillasaur. She separates from her parents by creating a den on the north side of the island. (Her parents are on the east side).
EarthCam sets up a few webcams on the island, playfully named Monster Island, in 2009. People all over the internet can log on and see the Godzilla family go about their lives.
The peaceful times break in 2011, when a massive 9.0 earthquake strikes Japan. A tsunami follows, and the destruction and fires are more massive than anything Godzilla or his family could do in that short period of time.
The earthquake damages an enclosure where the only living dinosaur, Junior, is kept. The enclosure is large and as close as possible to his natural habitat. Azusa Gojo is dragged kicking and screaming to evacuate before the tsunami arrives. When it does, it destroys the rest of the enclosure and the dinosaur stumbles free. He’s at home with the water and staggers towards the glow of a towering fire.
It’s Fukushima, and the reactors have melted down.
Junior gets hungry. He eats plants and fish around the burning nuclear power plant. He is exposed externally and internally to the radioactivity leaking out into the air, water and soil. His presence prevents helicopters from stopping a massive explosion of radioactive steam. Junior is right in the middle of it. His outer scales are burned off. Now in pain, he staggers away and falls unconscious into the receding tsunami waves. Humanity loses sight of him and assumes he perished.
Azusa tries to pull resources to search for Junior, but all efforts are focused on recovering from the disaster. She agrees despite how it hurts and accepts that the dinosaur she raised by hand is gone from her. Miki Saegusa senses what is going on. She keeps it to herself because humanity has meddled enough with the monsters and she wants them to live in peace. She focuses her powers on detecting and locating anyone missing after the disaster.
Weeks go by. Junior awakens to somebody nudging his shoulder. He is no longer a dinosaur. The mutation manifests differently on him because of the chemicals he ingested and came in contact with. His greenish-gray pitted skin and spiky dorsal spines are quite a sight, but it’s not his reflection in the water that he’s looking at.
Tumblr media
The first thing Junior sees is a beautiful girl with brown eyes. Filia smiles and asks him if he’s okay. It’s love at first sight.
Ancient godzillasaurs has a tradition when it came to potential mates. Her dad told her all about it and she wants to uphold it, so she takes Junior to meet her parents.
Junior meets Shezilla first. He’s nervous and charming. She likes him immediately! Then Godzilla comes out to have a look. He’s huge and imposing even though his movements are jerky and stiff.
The moment they lock eyes is a tense one.
Godzilla asks Junior if he promises to treat his daughter’s heart like the treasure that it is. Junior swears on his life that he will. Godzilla tells Junior he better be impressive when he makes his move. Again, Junior swears that he will.
Godzilla nods his approval. He takes Junior’s hand, he takes Filia’s hand and clasps them together. Filia grins up at her dad. He tells her he’s happy for her. Then Godzilla and Shezilla stand together, watching their daughter and her future mate walk off.
Junior tells Filia his story of where he was all this time, and he mentions relating to how Shezilla feels like a young outsider. Filia says not to worry about it. Her dad didn’t worry about her mom’s mysteriously absent past, so she decided not worry so much about Junior’s.
Junior asks Filia to tell her story. She does. It’s a long tale stretching back millions of years. The sun goes down and the Milky Way is bright in the night sky. Junior is falling into her eyes. Filia is falling into his. He makes his move. Filia consents. They conceive.
Junior can’t stop thinking about the humans who took care of him and doesn’t know what happened to them after the ground shook. He slips away in the middle of the night, but he doesn’t recognize the disaster-ridden coastline when he arrives. He has a soft spot for humans because they were kind to him, so he locates a bunch of people swept away by the tsunami. Living and dead alike are gathered and placed on dry land where rescuers can reach them.
Junior finds Azusa on a balcony far inland. She recognizes him despite his mutated appearance, but she doesn’t understand his roar is telling her that he’s fine and about to be a dad. She cries instead, so he leaves and that is the last time they see each other.
A year later, Filia and Junior crouch by their nest and watch their egg hatch. It’s a boy with heterochromia. One eye is yellow, the other is brown. He has Junior’s facial features and Filia’s elegant long tail. He’s smaller than Filia was when she hatched. Kaijuologists nickname him Kage(kah-geh), which is Japanese for shadow, because his hide is black like one.
Kage falls out of his eggshell in a curled up position. It takes him a few days to walk and his hands are tight fists. The way he moves reminds Filia of her dad. And she is right, he inherited Godzilla’s heart issues and the subsequent neurological issues.
Kage is a grumpy little baby at first because he hatched in the winter and it’s cold. His parents keep him warm in their cave for the first few days until he’s able to shuffle around. His legs are much more affected than Godzilla’s, but he can walk if he goes slow and he’ll get a little better at it with time. He falls over a lot because he’s pigeon toed.
Filia and Junior are overwhelmed with joy because their baby didn’t keel over dead like they feared he might. They take Kage to meet his grandparents. Shezilla dotes on him immediately, and Godzilla is totally amazed to see another godzillasaur who Moves Like Him. He looks down at the baby godzillasaur and sees both his mother and father looking back at him through his grandson’s eyes.
Kage squawks a challenge because he can’t roar yet. Godzilla belly laughs as he comes to understand what his own father saw in him when he was little. Then he gets a goofy grin on his face because teaching Kage all the tricks to managing his Palsy will be so much fun! Kage will grow up surrounded by a loving family with a legacy as old as the sky.
And from his unseen place in the Stars, Gojira smiles proudly at all his son has achieved.

An Interim Between Here and There (1/?)
characters: Mothra, Battra, Orga
summary: a prequel/parallel to the Mothra/Biollante fics, in which Battra discovers he’s still alive, Mothra discovers Battra is alive, and Battra meets his alien roommate.
Battra had asked Mothra not to bring him back. He knew she could—he had been born knowing Mothra’s abilities, as he had been born knowing his own. He had asked her when he knew he was about to die, as they hovered over the spot that had once been his grave, to not be brought back.
And though he had sensed her hesitation, she had agreed.
Yet here he was.
This was most likely Mothra’s island—reaching out a leg to prod at a rock, Battra could practically smell her—it was comforting, in a strange way, to know that he wasn’t alone.
That she, at least, was alive.
He had washed up on the shore hours ago, yet had remained still, taking the time to conserve what little of his energy remained.
The island’s plants shifted in the wind, long stalks swaying in the breeze. He could hear animals, among the plants. Beyond that, he heard the deep, familiar hum of the earth and the galaxy, though it was notably…discordant. Not yet angry; nothing that would have warranted his revival. More than anything else, it felt confused.
And there was something else, Battra realized as he continued to poke at the rock—something strange. An unfamiliar scent, lingering on the stone like a bad afterthought.
Battra didn’t recognize it.
It was not even a new smell, one of the billions that had been created during his hibernation. Those were familiar-yet-new; mixtures and variations of the same scents that had been a part of the planet when he was first created.  
This was totally foreign.
Alien entered his mind just as something lunged at him from beyond the treeline.
He was tackled effortlessly, rolling partway into the water as this new creature mouthed his wings and head. Battra hissed, struggling to fight back—he was still weak and sore. Vulnerable. He felt sharp teeth examining the wounds in his neck and yelped, managing to shoot out a weak blast of energy as the alien bit down.
Green blood trickled from his neck. His roar was ineffectual and weak—the alien didn’t seem to notice the threat, continuing to bite at him as snarled and protested.
There was little new pain, Battra realized belatedly, as he managed another weak burst. Again, the alien paid no mind to him.
Battra couldn’t even see its eyes: there were only massive claws the size of his head, and an equally enormous mouth, lined with small, sharp teeth.  
At once, it stopped, pulling away from him like it had been burned. Battra struggled to orient himself; he had been thrown back, partway into the ocean, burning the cuts in his throat and wings.
Battra blinked, and saw Mothra.
Relief flooded through him as Mothra approached. He could feel the shock at the forefront of her mind—why was he here? how? And there was irritation at the alien—she knew the alien?
She moved forward, bumping her head against his. Save for the things he knew innately, Mothra was one of the few familiar constants in his life, and for the first time, her presence did not make his scales itch.
“How?”
“I don’t know,” Battra said. He submitted to her examination of his body as she poked and prodded at his own scales. “You did not do it.”
“No.” Mothra hesitated over the gash in his throat. It dripped blood still, but when Battra hissed and moved back, she relented and let it go. “But someone else has.”
Battra relaxed, body sagging against hers as he felt the warmth of Mothra’s presence. He wanted to give in and sink back into the sand. To sleep.
“Who is that?” Battra asked, instead, inclining his head towards the alien.
“I don’t know,” Mothra admitted. “I don’t think he knows.”
Battra glared at the alien, who stared blankly.
“But he’s harmless,” Mothra was quick to add. “He’s…hungry.”
Battra crept forward. The alien stared at him, remaining still as Battra got within biting range and prodded at him with a leg. Still, he could not pick up any familiar scent. There was the scent of electricity, but even that tasted strange.
“The humans on his planet named him Orga.”
It huffed once, bending to sniff at Battra, who fought his instinctive urge to snap—at the very least, to hiss again. But Mothra seemed at ease with this alien, and he…trusted her.
Probably. As far as he knew, she had never lied; to him or to anyone else.
“His planet?”
“From what he has been able to explain, he is an alien from another dimension.” Mothra said. “But we have not understood why. Or how.”
Battra let the alien sniff at him.
He was not like Mothra—he could not speak into minds as easily as she did, but what little he was able to sense from the alien was very nearly overwhelming. There was curiosity at the forefront of his thoughts, overshadowed only by an uncomfortable hunger, as though it had been eons since the creature had last ate.
“What does he eat?”
Mothra hesitated, speaking only when Battra turned to look at her.
“He last tried to eat his planet’s Godzilla. To become…” Mothra blinked, studying the alien. Was it speaking to her? “Him. And he nearly succeeded.”
Now that he was looking for it, he saw Godzilla in the creature’s eyes. They were so unlike his and Mothra’s, beady and dark, rather than large and bright.
“Why?”
“He said it was to…complete him.” Gently, Mothra pushed past Battra and bumped her head against the alien’s. “To conquer.”
Battra snarled, and for the first time, the alien reacted with a whimpering bellow as it stumbled back. Its roar made his the wounds in his throat sting.
“He’s assured me he has no intention of following through,” Mothra said. “He will not do as he was programmed.”
“Programmed?”
“Can I show you?”
Battra nodded, and Mothra moved from the alien—Orga, he supposed—to stand beside him. He gave Orga one final warning hiss before touching his head to Mothra’s.
He watched patiently as images floated in his mind, feeling the familiar sensation of crushing water and aching loneliness, of being abruptly awakened—created—to something he barely understood.
Except…Orga was not someone, Battra realized. He had begun his life as many someones. And now he was someone, created for a purpose he had not understood.
Battra understood. Sullenly, he withdrew, unwilling to inflict his own discomfort on Mothra.
“I will not attack him,” Battra said, and Mothra seemed relieved.
“Unless he attacks me first.”
“He won’t,” Mothra said, and that seemed to be the end of that. “Now, come with me. You must be tired.”
Battra followed Mothra deeper into the island, fully aware that the alien was following them. He did not dare take flight, not trusting his wings to keep him aloft.
Battra had no desire to fall flat on his face in front of Mothra—or in front of the alien.
He noticed the fairies watching him. Before, they had always been little more than targets he knew he needed to kill. Now, they stood proud for such little creatures, staring as he limped towards wherever Mothra was taking him.
“Here.”
Here was the other edge of the island, but while the shore he had woken on was sandy, this was covered in smooth rocks. Orga seemed to recognize this place, trilling happily as he trudged to the cliff edge and flopped over onto his stomach, seeming to settle in and be content to do nothing more than allow the sun to shine on his skin.
Mothra’s chosen spot was well-worn, smoother even than the other rocks. Battra settled beside her—privately, he was relieved, certain he would not have made it much further.
This was…nice, perhaps. Certainly more pleasant than the uncomfortable half-wakeness of his hibernation under the sea, though this definitely felt uncomfortably impermanent. He could feel Mothra’s emotions churning as she thought beside him.
Something had happened. Something serious enough to have her worried.
“Did you stop it?” Battra asked. Mothra nodded.
“Thank you.” Though he had lived, Battra doubted he would be strong enough to travel to space by the time the asteroid would appear—as he reached out, searching for the low hum he knew to be the asteroid, he heard nothing but silence.
That would take some getting used to.
“May I?”
Battra nodded, unsure what Mothra was asking. He had to fight the urge to pull away as she began grooming him, licking away the dried blood that was encrusted on his scales.
Mothra pushed him away when he tried to reciprocate. He relented, submitting to the mortifying ordeal of being groomed.
This was what her kind did, Battra knew. He had seen them cleaning each other, using that time to commiserate and socialize. He owed it to her, Battra thought, to try.
“You seem worried,” Battra said, to begin. Mothra paused briefly, leg frozen midair before bringing it gently down to scrape at a patch of dirt at the base of his horn.
“Your hearing is getting better,” Mothra said. “I’m impressed.”
Battra shifted his wings at the unexpected—if intentionally distracting—compliment. He gave in and flopped fully onto the stone.
“I do not know how to explain what happened,” Mothra said. “Mostly, because I do not know myself.”
Apparently satisfied, she moved from grooming the base of his head to the base of his wings. She tasted the salt-encrusted scales and recoiled, poking instead at them with her legs before clambering on top of him to resume cleaning his head.
Rather than being frightening, as he had expected, the sensation of pressure on his body was soothing. He snuck a quick glance at the alien, who had not moved from his spot, before allowing himself to relax.
“He and another appeared a month ago,” Mothra said, pulling Battra from his thoughts. “She has been difficult to find, harder to calm. Someone the humans thought dead called to me, and now she lives in the desert. I was here to check up on Orga—finding you here was a coincidence. A happy one, but a coincidence.”
“If you had not been here…”
Battra wanted to say he would have killed the alien. But he was too weak, exhausted from whatever had awoken him and pulled him from his grave. He would have been that thing’s meal.
“But I was,” Mothra said. “And I will be back.”
Battra craned his neck to look at Mothra. She radiated concern. Worry. Not only at him, but at the others—the ones scattered across the globe, lonely and wandering.
“It is not your duty to protect them,” Battra said. “Do not exert yourself needlessly.”
“I want to protect them.”
“Why?”
Apparently finished, Mothra stepped off him and onto her rock. She settled beside him once more, looking as though she planned to sleep, but her thoughts were still active. Frantic.
“They reminded me of you,” she said, finally. “And…I wanted to help them when I could no longer help you.”
“Then I will help you,” Battra said impulsively, but he meant it. At the very least, he could watch over the alien while he recovered. He did need to repay her for taking on his duties, after all. “It is the least I can do.”
Mothra radiated surprise “I believed you would want to return to your hibernation,” she admitted.
He had not even considered the possibility. Perhaps he feared that even if he did try, whatever had woken him would do so once again.
“No,” Battra said. “At least until I am fully healed. Besides, I doubt the planet would allow me to rest. Not now.”
Mothra nodded.
“I had planned to leave tonight,” she said. “But I will stay with you until the morning. Is that alright?”
“Of course. This is your island, is it not?”
Mothra seemed to laugh, butting her head against Battra’s wing. He tucked his wings flat against his back, and she lifted her own wing to settle it over him.  
The sun was still high in the sky, but now seemed as good a time as any to rest. The alien appeared to have the same idea, though it was wise enough to stay on its side of the cliff, far enough away that Battra felt comfortable enough to close his eyes.
Was this what Mothra’s species had done, he wondered. Settled together on a warm, flat rock during the day, slept until the sun went down? The few times he had been awake and not on a mission, he had given in to his desire to sleep while the sun was out and move when it was dark, and it seemed Mothra was the same. Did she miss doing this?
For the first time in his very short life, Battra thought he might be feeling something akin to guilt. Until now, guilt had been a foreign concept, understood in theory. Battra had not been born incapable of emotion, but now, he wished he had.
For a moment, he wished he had been born being able to feel nothing but the pure rage that had fueled him for so long.
“You have nothing to feel guilty about,” Mothra said. “You did not know any better.”
“And now I do?”
When he looked up, Mothra was watching him. Her eyes shone in the sunlight.
“Yes. Now go to sleep, Battra.” Mothra pulled her wing away and moved back, settling more comfortably against the warm stone. “You can moralize in the evening.”

I remember you talked about Mothra earliar, and i got curious, what about Battra, Leo or Gigamoth? (Gigamoth has never appeared in any media as their a scrapped kaiju that never made it into anything. I do find it fun to include scrapped characters though.)
I’m going to get to those asks eventually and hopefully give more detail, but off the top of my head:
Battra: i swear for years i thought Battra was intended to be a bat monster; i honestly had no idea he was Battle Mothra. Consequently, i’m considering having him be a specific incarnation of Mothra (as ‘battle mothra’ DOES imply a specific facet of Mothra, not a completely different being altogether); the aspect of her that is rage and pure defensiveness, protecting her domain from all threats. This CAN include mortals, if Battra views them as such. Effectively Battra is a living natural disaster and a targeting one, a punishment for hubris and a self-correcting force.
This bears some similarities to Gaia the Emerald Mother; one of the great titans who created the cosmos. She, like Mothra, is known to life all things, but her love is all-encompassing, and she regards mortals in general as about the same level as individual bacterium. As she has apocalypses and natural disasters as a part of her being, she is VERY dangerous and Mothra has some intriguing similiarties to her. Whether this means that Mothra is a divine facet of her in some respect, or that Mothra is simply very similar to her... well, that is the question now, is it not?
Mothra Leo: Similar enough to Mothra in overall perspective that I don’t see much reason to have him be a completely different entity from Mothra herself! Might be a particular facet of her that is worshiped on a broad scale, rather than a protector of a specific homeland or people.
Gigamoth: has a strong vibe of wrongness that contrasts with Battra, who is merely an overzealous protector of the world who doesn’t view humanity as deserving mercy, but Gigamoth comes off as a purely destructive anti-Mothra. Accordingly, I would have Gigamoth not be a true facet of Mothra at all, but a corrupted avatar of her power, perhaps as a result of the negative spiritual energy that pervades much of the magical realms and is exacerbated in areas torn by warfare and suffering. Gigamoth is an outright eldritch force, an entity that arrives in silence and slowly drives everything around herself into a frenzy. She poisons their very minds and souls, and entire worlds collapse in her wake. She feeds upon these worlds and their energy, and goes off to do it again. She is very hard to kill permanently; she always has at least one egg hidden somewhere, and when her current body is destroyed, she hatches somewhere else to start it all up again.
Mothra is very interested in seeing Gigamoth permanently killed! She’s hoarding a lot of Mothra’s power and may even be an existential threat, possibly infecting Mothra’s godly nature with her selfish hungers. Godzilla is hunting for her all the time; nobody pisses off his wife and lives. Even if it IS his wife, in some weird metaphysical sense. He doesnt bother with the abstract details, okay

Part 27: V) Berserk
December, 2019
A faint, rhythmic thumping wakes Mothra, Battra and Solomon just as the dimmed rays of the sun begin to pierce the clouds on the horizon. Circling the island a few miles out, a lone helicopter makes two complete circuits before setting down on the island where Anguirus and Rodan live.
Anguirus quickly opens the psychic link between himself and Mothra, but before he even speaks she knows who is onboard.
Admiral Stenz steps onto the beach and looks up at the two Kaiju who stand cautiously nearby. Unable to speak with them, he simply nods and looks to the irradiated island of the MUTOs. Mothra is already on her way.
The Admiral watches the enormous insect fly towards him, she settles delicately on the shore nearby, folds up her wings and crawls over to him.
Taking an extra step toward Mothra, Stenz clears his throat. “Viceroy has requested your help.”
She remains silent and expressionless.
“...They’ve lost control of Kiryu. It’s rampaging through Switzerland as we speak.”
Mothra closes her eyes, “so now you ask us to destroy one your weapons. I thought humans would have been smarter than this. Was there no plan in place in case of an emergency like this?”
“There was,” he replies, “the artificial intelligence had operations for multiple contingencies in place, but last night the A.I. disappeared.”
“If the computer mind is no longer present then what is controlling the weapon?”
“That’s why I came to you...Kiryu was fluent in five human languages before its A.I. disappeared. Those are all gone now, but the mech isn’t silent. It is communicating, but not in any human language. It’s new vocal patterns match what we’ve recorded from Godzilla. We never taught Kiryu to speak in any MUTO language, we don’t understand your languages enough to even attempt such a thing.”
A few seconds pass in silence, then Mothra unfurls her wings and returns to her brother and Solomon.
Rodan and Anguirus exchange confused glances at the moth’s sudden departure, unable to translate the contents of her brief talk with the Admiral. Stenz takes one last look at the Kaiju and returns to the helicopter, which soon pulls itself from the sand and returns to the air, passing over the horizon it arrived from.
As Mothra settles next to Battra, he and Solomon look at her questioningly.
“I need to go to Europe again, they’ve lost control of Kiryu,” she says to them.
“Screw them,” Solomon says, “they used Gojira’s skeleton to make it right? Let it rough ‘em up a bit first, teach ‘em a lesson. They deserve it.”
“I can’t…”
“Oh come on Mothra,” Battra says, “we’ve got bigger problems right now than putting out their fires.”
“I have to go Battra, it’s Gojira…” she pauses in thought, “I don’t know how, but Goji’s still in there somehow.”
Solomon and Battra lean forward in shock, taking a moment to process the revelation.
Shaking his head Battra replies, “if that’s true you can’t go alone. If he’s attacking them then--”
“Then he’s reverted to a more primal state of mind,” Motha says. “All the more reason for me to go alone. I need to bring him back, not fight him, having more than one of us go to him will seem threatening. If it ends in a fight, we could all end up injured, and then there will be nobody to defend against Red.”
“If it ends in a fight and no one is there to protect you, he could kill you,” Battra replies.
“He won’t kill me.”
“You can’t be sure of that,” Solomon says. “It’s too dangerous for you to do this.”
She glares harshly at the two MUTOs, “I will do this alone.”
Battra sighs and his face softens.
“You’re giving up that easily?” Solomon asks.
Battra laughs, “she can do it.”
“I…” Solomon begins, but stops and shrugs, “okay, good luck Mothra.”
The golden moth takes to the sky, flying east over the Pacific.

A friend asked me to compare each of the angels in the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series (except Tabris and the Lilin) to Godzilla kaiju, so here’s my matchups plus explanations below the thinger.
Lilith is Mothra because they're both feminine and you can read both as benign, from what I understand. Going from that, Battra is Adam because they're both kind of the male counterpart. Sachiel could be a lot of kaiju, but I'll go with Gigan because they're both humanoid and pretty recognizable. Shamshel is the preying mantis kaiju Kamacuras because it's got those two whip-things like a preying mantis' two claws. Ramiel is Godzilla (any of them, really) because they both have a powerful beam weapon and are probably the most recognizable out of either of their categories. Gaghiel is Ebiras the lobster kaiju because they're both aquatic. Israfel is the MUTOs from Godzilla '14 because the most important thing is that there's two of them. Sandalphon is Megalon because they're both kind of subterrantean and Megalon shoots napalm, Sandalphon lives in a volcano, you can see the fire connection. Matarael is Kumonga the spider kaiju because they both look like spiders and they both get defeated kind of easily. Sahaquiel is King Ghidorah because they both come from space and have great destructive power. Iruel is Hedorah the smog monster because they're both composite organisms. Leliel is Biollante, which is kind of a tenuous connection but in Godzilla vs. Biollante there's this whole psychic subplot which made me think of the introspection in Leliel's episode. Plus for both of them kind of how they move around isn't important, if that makes sense. Bardiel is Mechagodzila Kiryu because in both cases they're something for humanity's protection that gets corrupted. Zeruel is Destroyah because they're both the most potentially dangerous threats (Zeruel breaches the NERV HQ, Destroyah kills Godzilla). Arael is Space Godzilla because space and 'beams of light' reminds me of Space Godzilla's crystals. Armisael is Orga because Armisael merged with Unit 00, kind of like how Orga tried to make itself a copy of Godzilla by consuming him.
