Titanosaurus fell uncomfortably silent after the whole thing passed over, looking sheepish and meek as he felt like just shriveling up and vanishing. But thankfully, Anguirus knew just what was needed to comfort him, and as he felt the nuzzle against his side, he’d smile and let out a soft chuff of his own, reaching a hand down to pat along Anguirus’ head.

“H-Heh… y'really know how to make me feel better, you know that? I guess that’s why you’re my best pal and all that!” he chuckles softly and lets the Ankylo keep nuzzling him for a bit, before he heard the yawn.

“Oh! Heheh, someone still feeling a bit drowsy even after all those years napping, eh?” he’d tease Anguirus with a gentle smack of his tail against the other’s armored back, but he’d nod firmly. “Sure, knock yourself out! And if you need anything, just call for me! Alright?”

     Some part of Anguirus’ heart swelled with pride as he was told that, and the Ankylo had to put a stopper on it before he actually ended up puffing his chest out. He was happy to be Titanos best friend, just as he was with Goji- after all, he had been around when he heard that the poor guy had been brainwashed and used as nothing more then a mindless beast, and he’d be damned if he didn’t try to help out. To think that they’d have grown so close… Well, it made Anguirus happy.

     Of course that thought was derailed again as he felt another yawn escape him, and he’d give a sluggish nod only to jump slightly at the thunk of the bigger monsters tail against his shell.

"Oh certainly! I'll whip up a batch for ya and store it in one of the nearby caves in the mountains here! Should be fresh and cold even when you wake up later!"

How great it felt to have another friendly monster visiting him again after so long! It was almost too good to be true! Titano was absolutely beside himself with glee, but he'd let Anguirus go for now. He needed time to sleep after all!

"Shale. I wish for you to take a real... good... look at me. Recall all the battles I've been through. All the injuries I've taken. I do not mean to offend when I say this, understand that, but I do believe that nothing you could do to me would compare to the likes of it. But that is a positive thing. It means that we can train and spar without you ever having TO worry about that risk."

He spoke truthfully. Godzilla had been through a lot of physical punishment in his life, from other titans fighting him and injuring him, to high-caliber modern weapons being fired en masse at him. And he was still here, and alive. What worries Shale had about losing control was non-concerning for the King.

"Besides, if you would try and divert your attention to your troopers, I will hold you back with ease. It's the reason why I made this arena as large as I could. To keep you focused on me. But, if you have troubles bringing it out... well, outside of getting shot at, what do you think could bring it out?"

He thought on it himself for a bit, before he seemed to have an idea.

"... Shale. Tell me... what is your biggest fear?"

With the last camp check cleared, Gloria turned her focus to the point of the trek. Nervousness twisted in her stomach as she worried for her people and for any potential damage she might cause. Harm was the last thing she wished to bring.. but that was point of all this. Make peace with, and learn to control, a state she was not at all familiar with.

Shifting into her hybrid state, she began a run to the site where she could hear Godzilla making preparations. The trek felt short, but well needed. Free running in a jungle terrain was just as liberating a feeling as it was in the desert. Albeit more humid. When she arrived at the arena-like site, she was puffing quietly and her ponytail slightly sticky from the sweat on the back of her neck.

"Hrrff?" he'd churr out in confusion, before he'd turn his gaze downward and look at Shale, in her hybrid form, as he gave out a bit of a nervous chuff/chuckle, as he'd look down at her. "Shale, while I appreciate the enthusiasm you give off... this is not exactly what I meant."

Whilst the vessel was making its passes, Godzilla would be approaching slowly but surely, his heavy footsteps shaking the ground as he went on to meet Shale and whichever people she had with her. A small group of people, but they were of no concern for now. Now, he had his attention fully on Shale, as he’d chuff softly when he’d finally spot her, slowly lowering his head down towards her, and ever-so-delicately bumping his snout against her forehead.

“Little Titan.” he greets her with a deep, rumbling ‘purr’ noise. “Welcome to Monster Island, Shale. This is my domain, and it is here that I shall do my best to teach you to be a proper Titan. Are you prepared to embrace that other side of you?”

While the Titan King took his final approaching steps, Gloria gestured for her comrades to get started on unloading and setting up camp. She then turned to step forward for a proper greeting. 

Despite the knowledge she was in a generally safe place, some instincts were hard to ignore. Such as the stiffening that came with watching something truly gigantic looming in to make contact. The Captain reminded herself that if Silas could hold his ground and confidence around the Titans, then surely she could do. Godzilla was a friend and mentor after all. As they made contact, she tipped her head forward in a respectful nod and offered him a smile. 

Are you prepared to embrace that other side of you?

"Good, good. I will allow you and your men to set up camp then. The moment you are, though... may I request that you transform? It'll be a good indicator for me that you are indeed ready, and I do not like to dawdle for too long."

The flare could be seen by miles away, and for a good reason too. It was intended for a very large ally to be seen, and it was indeed. Godzilla would crane his head upward to spot the flare as it bloomed out, and he’d let out a small chuff of satisfaction, seeing that Silas had indeed taken up on his offer to let Shale get the training she needed.

He arose from his resting spot, soon being visible for the vehicle on approach as he’d tower over Monster Island, letting out a loud, yet soft “SKREEEENK!” as he acknowledged the vehicle’s presence, before he’d march his way towards the location where it’d make for landing.

It wasn’t long before the vessel was making several passes over the beaches, searching for the best landing zone. A space on an elevated megalith that jutted out over the beach. It was plenty wide and flat, safe from high tide, and gave a great view of the immediate space. Sand still churned and stirred up during its landing, though.

Once the engines began their thrum down into a powerless state, the cargo hatch opened with a hydraulic hiss. Gloria was there, along with three other operatives that she was chatting with. Two more, the pilots, eventually joined them before stepping out onto the formation and into the view of any onlookers. Immediately most of them squinted and moved to throw on either their goggles or sunglasses. Gloria herself went for the goggles she almost always had perched atop her head.

“… O-Oh, right, ahahaha… probably oughta realize you’ve actually been asleep all this time! Sorry, my bad Angi!” Titanosaurus apologizes sheepishly, rubbing his neck a bit with his cheeks gaining an ever-so gentle rose tint of embarrassment. “But, I mean… ‘least she’s being helpful now, and Goji’s actually more or less considered her his half-sister, sorta! So! That’s good! Right?!”

But, about that metal doppelganger… “Well I’ll be, I didn’t hear of that! They got around to makin’ a robot or something?! That’s insane!” the last bit was spoken with a bit of genuine fear, and if Anguirus was still able to read the other kaiju’s body language, he could tell that Titano was starting to grow REAL anxious now. The whole topic of humans making super-monsters left and right was getting to him.

“I-I don’t know if they’ve been makin’ more, I swear!” he blurts out, a bit more panicky than he would’ve liked. “I-I… I’m sorry, Angi, I shouldn’t have brought it up… I uh… I-I hope the drink was to your liking?! E-Ehe…”

     Anguirus fell silent, the Ankylosaurus uncharacteristically quiet as he pondered over everything that he had heard today. He considered warning Goji, but he figured that Gojira probably already knew all of this, and it was enough to get him to grumble to himself. He wasn’t sure at this point if he should be thankful for the fact he had slept so long, or if he should’ve been awake for all of it… Maybe he owed Gojira a bigger apology then he initially thought.

     However, his head perked up when he heard that apologetic and flustered tone enter Titanos voice. Already he shook his head, stumbling over his words a bit as he’d muster a reply, “N-No, it’s fine, Titano! I’m glad ya told me, just cause things have gotten a bit… Weird don’t mean nothin’ to me!”

     He felt a bit bad for making Titanosaurus feel bad, and Anguirus would stand himself up entirely before moving over and gently nuzzling into his friend in an attempt to try and reassure him.

"H-Heh... y'really know how to make me feel better, you know that? I guess that's why you're my best pal and all that!" he chuckles softly and lets the Ankylo keep nuzzling him for a bit, before he heard the yawn.

This human language that Rodan is picking up from his native homeland is still very confusing to the king, he simply gives the fire demon a bit of a look before he releases a sigh.

“The humans have nearly killed me twice over the past couple of years.” Gojira started to move, pacing along the beach. Though it was easy to tell just how exhausted the king is with his struggle to even stay up. He has been awake for several days.

"Hey, hey hey hey Gojira! Desacelerar, slow down for a bit. Walkin' back and forth like that will just drain more out of you. Just... sit or lie down for a bit, would you? For me?" he tried his best to soothe Gojira, or at least get him to be still. And once he did stop, he'd look up at the scar across Goji's chest.

Gigan seemed to be genuinely growing more and more happy by each passing minute, the more Goji spoke of his son and how he’d love to set up a meeting of the two. His grin just grew wider, and his visor blinked with excitement.

“Aw hell yea’, that’ll be awesome! Ah promise t'be on my best behavior, ‘G! I mean, I might look menacin’ as all hell, but I’m truly a real nice guy.”

Gigan would then look around themselves, a bit of an impressed whistle leaving him as he saw the destruction from Goji’s nuclear pulses.

“Geeeeez, tho! At leas’ Ghid’s wasn’ kiddin’ when he said y'were a real menace in terms o’ power! You really gave me a run fer my money!”

“You don’t have to convince me, I can tell.”

     Goji would reply a bit cheekily, a throaty chuckle escaping him as his eyes followed Gigans gaze, admitting to himself that he had been a bit more destructive then what he had intended on being… Thankfully his natural radiation would heal things before too much longer, but he noted that he had indeed grown stronger again.

Home...

It's been a while since he heard that word. And it got him rather caught off-guard before he'd respond. "H-Home, huh? Heh... nev'r really 'ad one since Ghids came 'long and decided t'conquer my planet, heh..."

“Glad ya like it, buddy! Haven’t had a lot of other Titans try it out, so I’m glad this is to your likin’!”

Titano grins widely as Anguirus enjoys his drink, clapping his hands together a bit happily as his tail gently swishes behind him. Very gently, so he does not whip up any storms. He was a bit surprised that Anguirus has not heard of Biollante, but then again, he had been asleep for a LONG time!

“Oh yea’, so she’s a weird one, but she’s real nice too! See, she was originally human, according to Goji! Can you believe it?! But, when she died, her dad wanted to keep her alive by mixin’ her DNA with a rose, and some of Goji’s DNA. And, well… she became a giant plant-kaiju-thing! She was outta control until Goji fought her, but for now she’s just struck up a home in the Amazons, and she’s making the whole forest thrive!”

      Anguirus nodded his head, licking his chops to get what little of the drink remained off his lips. However, he was given pause at what Titano said, and the look he had said everything as the most incredulous tone entered his voice at what the other Kaiju had said.

“The humans’ve done what? You’re tellin’ me they’ve, in essence, created a plant-gojira-human hybrid AND a metal doppelganger?” He’d look away then, a slight tone of terror entering his voice then as he’d muse aloud, “Remind me to scrape up any spare clippings or spines I leave behind. I ain’t having them make some kinda Anguirus clone. No sir, not on my watch.”

     Already the thought put a fear into Anguirus’ heart that not even Ghidorah was able to provoke in him. The ingenuity of humans was something to both be admired, and to be absolutely terrified of.

But, about that metal doppelganger... "Well I'll be, I didn't hear of that! They got around to makin' a robot or something?! That's insane!" the last bit was spoken with a bit of genuine fear, and if Anguirus was still able to read the other kaiju's body language, he could tell that Titano was starting to grow REAL anxious now. The whole topic of humans making super-monsters left and right was getting to him.
