Godzilla: Titanomachy

Maddison awoke in the night to an incessant high pitched buzzing noise. She propped herself up groggily and half debated just going back to sleep but the buzz was really irritating so she sat up and looked around.

Bernie was on the other side of the room, sleeping face down on top of his mattress. The Chen sisters had brought down bedding after the first night of torture on the cold hard concrete.

Maddison got up and wandered towards where the sound was coming from which seemed to be over by the egg. Upon closer inspection it was coming from some small box right next to the egg.

Maddison's tired mind picked up the box and inspected it. She remembered now, it was the geiger counter she set up to detect radiation levels and to see when Mothra would hatch.

Uh oh...

Suddenly the egg pulsed, and a much brighter white light filled the room. something churned beneath the surface of the egg, writhing about in its membrane cage.

"BERNIE!" Maddison screamed at Bernie who was already awoken by the blinding white light. "SHE'S HATCHING!!!"

Bernie scrambled to his feet and looked over at the blinding white egg. He stumbled towards the door as Maddison keyed in the code to open it up. The door began to slide open painfully slowly as Maddison hopped from toe to toe, anxious to get away from the living time bomb behind her.

As soon as the door was open, even just a crack, Maddison dropped to the floor and rolled under the door. She then up and sprinted down the corridor of the Monarch Archives. Once the door was open enough, Bernie also dashed up the hallway.

Back inside the room, the walls of the egg began to warp and stretch, the infant inside clearly trying to break out. From inside the egg, the larvae brought out a sharp forelimb and sliced a gash into the side of the egg.

Out from that hole slithered the Mothra larva. Much smaller than the one seen in 2019, reaching around 24 metres in length. The creature looked around the unfamiliar room and inspected it cautiously.

It slunk out of the room into the cold uninviting hallway. Maddison glanced behind her and saw the Mothra larva Crawling about the concrete corridor like a lost child. It was scuttling about the alien-like environment, lit with cold suns and terrained with dead rock. The larva darted from side to side anxiously, searching for an escape from this concrete prison.

Looking at the distressed caterpillar, Maddison stopped in her tracks and looked sympathetically at the moth.

"What *pant* are you look *pant* ing at?" Bernie said, catching up to Maddison and turning back to look at Mothra who was still visibly distressed by the artificial cave, "we can't leave her like this."

"Agreed," Maddison said ,"Monarch's bound to find her down here and they will kill her."

"Do you think if we lead her to the lift shaft, she'd be able to get out?" Bernie asked

"It's the best idea we have."
