We made our way to a landing pad in two hours. The new Gotengo-A<\/em> looked like the one in Godzilla: Final Wars<\/em> but was a little trimmer. Admiral Douglas Gordon, I still remember him as a Captain, came out to meet us as well as Biollante. She saw Zilla, ran towards him, and hugged him, wrapping all four legs around him. Zilla reciprocated, earning a raised eyebrow from Godzilla. \u201cBiollante? Explanations?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re dating,\u201d replied Biollante. Godzilla\u2019s eyes went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEr, Biollante, could you excuse us for a sec?\u201d he hissed. Biollante sensed what Godzilla was gonna do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe gentle with him, all right?\u201d she requested as she released Zilla. Godzilla then slowly advanced on him with a disarming smile. Zilla gave a nervous grin and a small wave. Godzilla dropped the grin and hoisted him above his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBreak her heart and I boil yours!\u201d snarled Godzilla. He was then grabbed by the tail and pulled backwards to fall on his face. Biollante had released her leg\u2019s grip on his tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn what way was that gentle?\u201d she hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, you have the coordinates?\u201d asked Admiral Gordon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe do, indeed,\u201d answered Mothra. \u201cI\u2019ll give them to your navigator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExcellent,\u201d grunted Admiral Gordon. \u201cLet\u2019s get going.\u201d We all boarded the Gotengo-A<\/em> and made ourselves comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know,\u201d I pondered aloud, \u201cwhat would Kiryu\u2019s brain be doing in geostationary orbit?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood question,\u201d replied Admiral Gordon. \u201cMaybe\u2026\u201d the alarm interrupted him. \u201cReport!\u201d he shouted to Tactical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have an intruder on board!\u201d reported Tactical. \u201cIt\u2019s in the cargo hold!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is it doing?!\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust walking around!\u201d replied Tactical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSecurity! Cargo hold, on the double!\u201d barked Admiral Gordon. My team and the Kaiju-men joined him as we made our way to the cargo hold. On the way, Batman chose this opportunity to talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTora-Onna would help,\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOut of the question,\u201d I shot down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re being absurd!\u201d snapped Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t scare these people!\u201d I replied. \u201cBesides, X-PO told me that the belts have self-repair functions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow long?\u201d asked Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat, he didn\u2019t say,\u201d I answered. Our conversation was cut short as we arrived at the cargo hold. The intruder was surrounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHands in the air!\u201d barked Admiral Gordon. The intruder turned and faced him. It was a Japanese woman in her late 40\u2019s. She wore a dress similar to my old princess one, but in red and gold, and she wore my crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbout time!\u201d she griped. \u201cYou guys came later than I remember.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLady, who are you?!\u201d asked Admiral Gordon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObaa-san,\u201d (Grandmother) I interjected, \u201cwe need some questions answered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWatch it!\u201d snapped the woman. \u201cI\u2019m still in my late 70\u2019s. My 30 something twin daughters don\u2019t have children yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLate 70\u2019s?!\u201d I asked. \u201cLady, you look like you\u2019re in your late 40\u2019s!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh?\u201d she asked. \u201cI aged more gracefully than I remember.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLady, who are you?!\u201d I hissed, repeating Admiral Gordon\u2019s question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTake a look, a deep look, Queen Megumi Hishikawa,\u201d answered the woman. Wait, what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know my name?\u201d I quizzed. I then examined her face. Something seemed\u2026familiar. I ran my hand down my nose, she mirrored my movements. I ran my hand across my cheek, she mirrored me again. I then traced an imaginary wrinkle up my other cheek, she did the same! \u201cNo!\u201d I gasped. \u201cYou\u2019re\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYep,\u201d replied the woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll of it?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUh huh,\u201d answered the woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven the wrinkles?!\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes!\u201d she said hotly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re me\u2026 at 70 years old?\u201d I queried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYES!\u201d she confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow did you\u2026?\u201d I asked my future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomething called a Hyper-time hole,\u201d explained 70-year-old me. \u201cIt allows me to go into any point in a universe\u2019s timeline. I just hope this is the point where I made the right decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy deciding to use Tora-Onna, or rather, you deciding to do so,\u201d answered 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh no, not you!\u201d I snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, me!\u201d hissed 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTora-Onna?\u201d asked Admiral Gordon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMegumi has a monster form, a mutant tiger cyborg,\u201d explained Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd you didn\u2019t tell us?!\u201d roared Admiral Gordon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a side I use frequently,\u201d I answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, we need an edge,\u201d insisted Mothra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, and I can\u2019t have you just blatantly ignoring that side,\u201d snapped 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, I can\u2019t just use her willy-nilly!\u201d I snarled. \u201cNow, go back to your time and take that stupid purple hole with you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPurple hole?\u201d quizzed 70-year-old me. She followed my finger and saw the hole above us. \u201cThat should have closed,\u201d she muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, you used to be me,\u201d I mused. \u201cWhat happens next?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t remember,\u201d replied 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026How can you forget THIS?!\u201d I quizzed as I pointed to the two of us\u2026me\u2026her\u2026whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHang on!\u201d protested 70-year-old me. \u201cIt\u2019s hardly MY fault! You\u2019re obviously not paying enough attention!\u201d She tossed me a Sonic Screwdriver while she took out a gold scepter with a blue orb on it. \u201cNow, help me reverse the polarity!\u201d she commanded. I switched the Sonic Screwdriver on while she pressed a button that opened the orb and released a blue light. The purple hole stayed. \u201cIt\u2019s\u2026not working,\u201d muttered 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re BOTH reversing the polarity,\u201d rasped Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, that was the\u2026\u201d I reminded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYOU\u2019RE reversing the polarity, then YOU\u2019RE reversing it back,\u201d interrupted Batman. \u201cYou\u2019re CONFUSING the polarity.\u201d At that point, someone came through the hole and it closed. The figure dusted itself off. It was an older Japanese woman, in her 90\u2019s by the look, having white hair, a warmer dress, and a cane. She looked around the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, the Gotengo-A<\/em>,\u201d she sighed. \u201cThat takes me back.\u201d She then saw the two of\u2026me. \u201cAh! I remember! The points of my life converging!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnother me?!\u201d I yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m as surprised as you!\u201d called 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, to answer the question you DON\u2019T usually ask a lady,\u201d remarked the oldest me, \u201cI was celebrating my bicentennial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c200 years!!\u201d I yelped. \u201cYou look like you\u2019re in your 90\u2019s!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve forgotten how much I\u2019ve stated the obvious,\u201d sighed 200-year-old me. \u201cSo, this is the point where the Scaredy-cat and the Ridiculous Queen Mom come together.\u201d Did\u2026I just get insulted\u2026twice over\u2026by me?! \u201cHave you done anything towards your mission?\u201d asked 200-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, we\u2019re finding Kiryu\u2019s brain,\u201d I answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I was telling this nitwit not to be afraid of Tora-Onna,\u201d snapped 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust as I thought,\u201d muttered 200-year-old me. \u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothing?!\u201d I said hotly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is your real mission here, hm?\u201d asked 200-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy real\u2026oh, yeah,\u201d I recalled, remembering why I came to this dimension in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHeather\u2019s trying to make another Apocalypse Driver!\u201d gulped 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThankfully, you and your team are on the right track,\u201d replied 200-year-old me. \u201cShe\u2019s near Kiryu\u2019s brain on the Xilien ship it\u2019s on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat?!\u201d I yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Xiliens?!\u201d roared Godzilla. \u201cThose nitwits that controlled a good chunk of monsters?! I\u2019ll roast them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll hands,\u201d ordered Admiral Gordon, \u201cprepare boarding parties! Get weapons online! We\u2019re facing the Xiliens again!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, what do the Xiliens usually want, hm?\u201d asked 200-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, er\u2026\u201d began 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA certain resource?\u201d I finally answered. \u201cLike water, or our mitochondria?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s water again,\u201d replied 200-year-old me. \u201cSo, stop stalling and kick Xilien ass!\u201d She then made another purple hole and jumped in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey!\u201d I called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou let her get away!\u201d accused 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid not! That was you!\u201d I protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGirls, PLEASE!\u201d called Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho\u2019s a girl?!\u201d the two of me asked, offended. I like to consider myself as an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need a forward boarding party,\u201d replied Lacey. \u201cWho\u2019s leading it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMe!\u201d called the two of me. We then looked at each other. \u201cME!\u201d We glared at each other for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, for the love of\u2026!\u201d hissed Batman as he fished out a coin. He handed it to me. I looked on both sides. It was Two-Face\u2019s double-headed coin. I showed it to 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCall it, clean or marred?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMarred,\u201d replied 70-year-old me. I tossed it and slapped it to the back of my hand. \u201cWell?\u201d asked 70-year-old me as I looked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBad luck, Obaa-san,\u201d I replied. She bristled at that remark and the tone I used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll right,\u201d she sighed. \u201cJust be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCareful?\u201d I asked. \u201cI seem to forget when I get to be your age that a Kamen Rider does NOT become one by being careful.\u201d I picked Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Batman, and Biollante. I needed heavy hitters to take out whatever resistance we met. We soon arrived, the Xilien ship taking the form of the saucer that arrived in the Showa Era. Ghidorah clenched his fists. I put my hand on his shoulder. \u201cEasy,\u201d I called. \u201cWait until we\u2019re inside.\u201d We went nearer and nearer\u2026and nearer\u2026and nearer still!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, we\u2019re in weapons range right now,\u201d rumbled Admiral Gordon. \u201cWhy aren\u2019t they shooting us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomeone asleep at the switch?\u201d asked Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat, or it\u2019s a trap,\u201d guessed Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re running alongside the Xiliens\u2019 ship now,\u201d reported Tactical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSend out an airlock and get ready to board,\u201d ordered Admiral Gordon. My team got ready and the airlock docked with the ship. We started cutting our way through. Once the metal was cut sufficiently enough, we forced the doorway into the ship. Once the metal cooled, we went in. What I saw, ladies and gentlemen, had to be seen to be believed. Three men were asleep at the console. They were men I had seen on YouTube before! One of the men had a black, bowl style haircut, the second had red, curly hair at the back and sides, but none on top, and the third was a fat, bald man. It was Moe, Larry, and Curly, the Three Stooges! Batman and Lacey saw them and their jaws dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou were right!\u201d I whispered to Lacey as the Stooges snored. \u201cThree times over, even!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are THEY doing here?!\u201d asked Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m supposed to be the World\u2019s Greatest Detective,\u201d mused Batman, \u201cand even I don\u2019t know!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey must have blundered their way here,\u201d I whispered. I then waved 70-year-old me\u2019s assault team of Zilla, Mothra, Admiral Gordon, and the blundering Kiryu. 70-year-old me saw the Stooges and rubbed her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow?!\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoes it matter?!\u201d I asked. \u201cOur assault may go a little more smoothly! To the bridge! We\u2019ll find the Controller there.\u201d We proceeded to the bridge, making sure not to get caught. When we arrived, Heather was there, talking to a Xilien. Well, shouting at, I should say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing things for you for a while now and the belt you said you have hasn\u2019t arrived in my hand yet!\u201d she roared. \u201c$5,000! No less!\u201d The Xilien shook his head. \u201cX, you are a criminal! A cheat! Your impure savagery knows no bounds!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHold your tongue, human mongrel,\u201d hissed the Xilien Controller, X, \u201cor these negotiations are concluded in a very messy way. THAT is my final request! The United States\u2019 Federal Gold Reserve is simply the cost of doing business with my people!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoesn\u2019t power mean anything to you?!\u201d roared Heather. \u201cI guaranteed an entire universe for you! But, you will only get it once I have the belt!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou told me of the power it has,\u201d replied X. \u201cWhich is why I sent you on those tasks, which, for human scum, you did well. You allowed Monster 2-1 and Monster 2-2 to get captured and taken to the G.D.F base. You took Kiryu\u2019s brain, rendering the smartest monster in 15 countries useless. Now, we need valuable materials for an economy. That\u2019s why the price is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI should have hired the Klan!\u201d snapped Heather. \u201cYou\u2019re nothing but incompetent filth!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, worm, that is you, not me,\u201d replied X. He turned to one of his men. \u201cI know this requires touching her but get this piece of human garbage into the brig!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt once, Controller,\u201d confirmed the man. He grabbed Heather roughly, who spewed thousands of racist phrases at him, the insulting J word being among them. The man just responded with \u201cShut up, vermin.\u201d They were off the bridge before X found something else to rant about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy aren\u2019t our scanners back online?!\u201d he roared. \u201cThose three should have fixed it an hour ago!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s your first mistake,\u201d I muttered. I was promptly shushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t understand it, Controller,\u201d remarked a Xilien woman. \u201cThey\u2019re supposed to be members of the Scientific Elite!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, clearly not!\u201d snapped X. \u201cCommander 0-2-9, go find them! Order them to hurry up or be executed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt once,\u201d obliged the woman. We made ourselves scarce as she went through the door. After a few seconds, we heard her wake the Stooges up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGee, sorry, Ms. Xamper,\u201d apologized Moe\u2019s voice. \u201cWe were just\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know, I know,\u201d replied the woman, Xamper. \u201cLook, there\u2019s a circuit board. And there\u2019s a computer bank. But, the computer bank is no good without the circuit board. Not one itty bitty bit of good. YOU HALF-WITS! Get to fixing this thing or else!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr else what?!\u201d asked Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr else we see if members of the Scientific Elite can run around with their heads cut off!\u201d threatened Xamper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, fellas,\u201d gulped Larry, \u201clet\u2019s get to work!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think you got something there!\u201d yelped Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo help me, if you twits mess this up\u2026!\u201d roared Xamper. She didn\u2019t get very far as something clonked her on the head. The Stooges made frightened noises and ran past us and onto the bridge with Xamper in hot pursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s our cue!\u201d I called. \u201cCHARGE!\u201d The Kaiju-men gave off their signature roars as we stormed the bridge. The whole bridge crew was surprised by our entrance and we managed to get into various grappling matches. I managed to tackle X to the floor, shoving theories of how he came back to life to the back of my mind. I then shoved X\u2019s coat over his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?!\u201d he demanded as he tried to restore his vision. I then delivered a swift kick in his pants and he tumbled into his chair. He soon got out of his situation and his hair spiked up. He was in his Keizer state!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot good!\u201d I yelped. He then delivered several blows to my person. As I hit the floor, I noticed how many bruises and cuts I had. I was outclassed, and I didn\u2019t have a functioning belt! \u201cAll right, multiverse, you win!\u201d I shouted to the heavens. \u201cYou want Tora-Onna? You got her!\u201d I then felt my muscles expand, a tail came out, my mouth and nose became a muzzle, my human ears shrunk into my head while tiger ears came out from the top, and fur and metal appeared everywhere. My dress had changed into pants, must be Shocker Tech that changed my clothes, and I unsheathed my claws, roaring at Keizer X. We then clashed again, this time the blows were equal. While that was going on, King Ghidorah was fighting Xamper. They matched blow for blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, how I\u2019ve ALWAYS wanted to do this to you, Monster 0!\u201d giggled Xamper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s King Ghidorah!\u201d roared Ghidorah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApologies, \u2018Your Majesty\u2019!\u201d mocked Xamper. Ghidorah blasted the woman with his Gravity beams. \u201cYou would strike a lady!?\u201d she protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI strike at any evil, gender be damned!\u201d roared Ghidorah. Xamper then round-housed him into the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, I tried,\u201d she sighed. She then fought with greater ferocity. At that point, green gunk landed on her back. It was apparently acidic as she screamed in agony. She face the one who threw that at her. Biollante had taken a different form. She still looked human, but her hair was darker, the rose that usually adorned her hair wasn\u2019t, her fingers looked like the toothy vines she used for attack, and her teeth were more jagged. \u201cPlant Witch!\u201d roared Xamper as the acid sap stopped its effects. Her hair spiked up. It was another Keizer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCome at me!\u201d taunted Biollante. Xamper threw Ghidorah at Biollante and the two Kaiju-men crumpled in a heap. They picked themselves up, telling each other to watch it. At that point, Heather came in, holding a laser gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNOBODY MOVE!\u201d she shouted. \u201cI got you J*** covered!\u201d Then, I heard it, the familiar \u201cNyuk Nyuk!\u201d as Curly flipped a switch. \u201cWHO PUT OUT THE LIGHTS?!\u201d squawked Heather as she took a few shots in the dark, literally. Curly had turned the lights off and we started blundering into each other. Godzilla lit a match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNee-chan! You there?!\u201d he asked before someone snuffed the match and he fired his atomic breath wildly into the ceiling. Curly lit another match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere I am, Moe!\u201d he called before he turned to me. \u201cNYAAAaaaAAAaaaAAAAH!\u201d he screamed before I snuffed the match. I guess I scare people easily. X then activated a Xilien flashlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCareful around here!\u201d he barked before two people decked him. I then found a match and struck it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBatman, where are you?!\u201d I asked. Someone grabbed my shoulder. I yelped and punched the guy. It was Batman! \u201cBatman, I\u2019m sorry!\u201d I gasped. Batman accepted the apology and switched the lights on. The Kaiju-men and Admiral Gordon were picking themselves up, Heather and the Xiliens were out cold, my team rushed to my side, and the Stooges had tangled themselves up and were fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCurly, get your foot out of my eye!\u201d demanded Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhose feet are you talking about?!\u201d protested Curly as he bit a hand, making Moe scream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, apple-head, you asked for it!\u201d Larry started twisting the foot and screaming in pain. \u201cOW, THAT\u2019S MINE!\u201d cried Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGet them loose!\u201d I snapped. We all disentangled the Stooges. Moe then turned on Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s my hand, not a ham!\u201d he shouted before smacking Curly on the forehead. \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter with you?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, let him alone!\u201d protested Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you butting in for?!\u201d snapped Moe. He then held his fist out. \u201cSee that?\u201d Larry smacked it down and the fist went in a circle on Larry\u2019s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGentlemen!\u201d called 70-year-old me. The Stooges looked behind themselves. \u201cI mean you three,\u201d sighed 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, us!\u201d replied Moe. The Stooges went over to her. \u201cWhat can we do for you, Madame?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCould you boys tell me how you got here?\u201d asked 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, how did you guys pass yourselves off as Xilien Scientists?\u201d I asked. The Stooges turned and made scared noises. \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter with you?!\u201d I snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fur!\u201d hissed Godzilla. \u201cLose the fur!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat fur?\u201d I asked. I looked myself over and realized I was still Tora-Onna. \u201cHey! I still feel like me! I don\u2019t need to be afraid of Tora-Onna anymore!\u201d I then reverted to my human state. At that point, a band of light flew onto the bridge and wrapped around my waist. It then died down and formed the Supreme Vortex Driver! I heard Vortoranii yawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was a nice nap,\u201d she sighed. \u201cWhat did I miss?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou chose NOW to repair yourself?!\u201d I protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cActually, I simply switched that function off while I was dissected,\u201d explained Vortoranii. \u201cI wanted to see how well you fought without a belt and it seems you did pretty well! I was afraid you were using me as a crutch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou could have told me this was a test of my natural abilities!\u201d I snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat would have broken the test,\u201d replied Vortoranii. \u201cIn any case, what ARE you three doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, we were doing our plumbing business,\u201d answered Moe, \u201cwhen a blue hole opened under us. We landed in the corridor out there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen Xamper came up, thinking we were scientists,\u201d continued Larry. \u201cWe were about to correct her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen we saw the guards,\u201d supplied Curly. \u201cSo, we were promoted to scientists!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd we\u2019ve been trying to fix the ship for a week now,\u201d finished Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh boy,\u201d I sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, but the way we wired things, one touch on the controls,\u201d boasted Moe, \u201cand the ship goes crashing down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s hold off on that,\u201d I suggested. \u201cWe need to find this guy\u2019s brain.\u201d I indicated Kiryu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHa HA!\u201d laughed Kiryu as he shoved Curly. \u201cRoly poly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat did HE drink?!\u201d asked Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMust have hit the Mectacoconane too hard,\u201d replied Moe, making up a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFellas, let\u2019s find his brain!\u201d declared Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere?\u201d asked Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, uh,\u201d stammered Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, ignorant, eh?!\u201d snapped Moe as he smacked Larry. \u201cHey, onion-head, where can we find his brain?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, it, um,\u201d replied Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, don\u2019t know, eh?!\u201d snarled Moe as he smacked Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait a minute!\u201d protested Larry. \u201cDo YOU know where we can find his brain?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, what\u2019s it to you?\u201d growled Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, nothing,\u201d replied Larry. \u201cJust wanted to know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaybe it\u2019s in that file cabinet,\u201d I suggested. The Stooges started looking in the open drawer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothing but papers,\u201d muttered Larry. He shut the drawer so hard that it opened the bottom one. It hit his feet. Larry started clutching his feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStand aside!\u201d declared Curly. He shut the drawer and the middle one opened, going right into his tummy. He started holding it to make the pain go away, then he wagged his finger at the drawer, going \u201chhhMMMM!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou lame-brains can\u2019t do anything right, can you?!\u201d snapped Moe. \u201cGet out of the way! I\u2019LL show you how to close it!\u201d He shut the middle drawer and ducked down when the top drawer slid open. \u201cSee?\u201d called Moe. \u201cThat\u2019s using your brain!\u201d He then got up and hit his head on the drawer\u2019s underside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGuys!\u201d announced Zilla. He was holding an ovular shaped object, colored in silver. It had some sort of port on the underside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s Kiryu\u2019s brain!\u201d cheered Biollante. \u201cZilla-chan, where did you find it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn X\u2019s coat pocket,\u201d replied Zilla. \u201cI was frisking him for any plans on his person. Let\u2019s install the brain before we crash the ship.\u201d As Mothra and Ghidorah got to work, the Stooges started groaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cX had the brain the entire time!\u201d said Larry, exasperated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow do you like that?!\u201d asked Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI DON\u2019T like it,\u201d replied Moe. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t like this cabinet! But, it\u2019s a matter of principle with me! I\u2019m gonna shut that drawer if it\u2019s the last thing I do!\u201d He slammed the drawer, but Larry and Curly had their hands on top of the cabinet with their fingers going over. The drawer smashed their fingers and slid forward again to smash Moe in the face. As Larry and Curly rubbed their fingers to get rid of the pain, Moe shook his head. \u201cThat\u2019s the last thing I\u2019ll do,\u201d he sighed. We then heard a groan. We turned to the source to see Kiryu holding his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKiryu? Buddy?\u201d asked Zilla. \u201cPull my finger?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Don\u2019t be infantile!\u201d snapped Kiryu as he swatted the finger away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s back!\u201d cheered Mothra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know,\u201d teased Zilla, \u201cyou\u2019d still be the smartest monster in 29 countries if you\u2019d lighten up a bit!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c15 countries,\u201d corrected Kiryu. \u201cWhy is that so difficult to remember?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhatever!\u201d dismissed Zilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s obviously NOT a \u2018whatever\u2019 if Kiryu insists you use the right number!\u201d replied 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA good chunk of White America in a nutshell,\u201d I remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHEY!\u201d protested Zilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKiryu-san,\u201d I continued, \u201cthe Xilien ship is under our control, but we can\u2019t risk any powers on Earth trying the Xilien plan of taking our water. These three have wired the controls in a way so we can crash the ship. You might want to hold on to something.\u201d Kiryu nodded and went to brace himself. We all followed suit. \u201cOkay, boys!\u201d I called to the Stooges. \u201cGet this ship out of the sky!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe wants us to take over!\u201d cheered Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are we waiting for?!\u201d asked Curly. The Stooges started fiddling with the controls. The ship then started turning and falling! The Gotengo-A<\/em> was following us closely as we made our way to the crash site. When we landed, the Xilien ship was a smoldering wreck. We picked our way out and saw we were near the G.D.F base!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuccess!\u201d cheered Moe as he and his friends shook each other\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCongratulations all around,\u201d I praised. I then grabbed Heather by the hair. After checking to make sure she had a pulse, which she did, I shook her awake. She then saw me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLET GO!\u201d she barked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothing doing!\u201d I replied. \u201cYou\u2019re coming with me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat about him?\u201d asked Heather as she pointed behind me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNice try,\u201d I said, totally deadpan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEr, ma\u2019am,\u201d gulped Kiryu, \u201cI don\u2019t think that was a lame attempt at distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you\u2026?\u201d I asked. I then saw X right behind the Stooges! \u201cEEEEEEE!\u201d I yelled in terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat song is that?\u201d asked Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGuys, be careful! He\u2019s behind you!\u201d I warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho?\u201d asked Moe. X then blew on Moe\u2019s left shoulder. He turned to Curly. \u201cDon\u2019t breathe down my neck! I don\u2019t like it!\u201d X then blew on Curly\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all right for YOU to do it!\u201d snapped Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo what?\u201d asked Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBreathe down my neck! Onions, too!\u201d clarified Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re crazy!\u201d remarked Moe. Larry then giggled as X blew on his shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStop it! You tickle me!\u201d he protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho?\u201d asked Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou!\u201d replied Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re both nuts!\u201d called Moe. X then blew on Moe\u2019s shoulder again. He then grabbed X\u2019s shoulder and realized something. \u201cH-hey, C-C-Curly,\u201d he stammered, \u201cha-ha-have y-y-you got a l-l-leather coat on?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d replied Curly as he looked behind him. He then saw X and put on a terrified face. \u201cBut, HE does!\u201d All the Stooges screamed as X drew a sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNOW!\u201d he shouted. \u201cI\u2019M GONNA CUT YOU ALL INTO LITTLE PIECES!\u201d He charged at me and swung the sword. I used a pipe to block it. \u201cYOU INTERRUPTED MY PLANS! YOU KILLED MY CREW! YOU CRASHED MY SHIP! I\u2019M GONNA CUT YOUR HEAD OFF!\u201d I rolled out of the way and instinctively went for my i.d tag, then paused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d I remarked. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna take a monster to bring down a monster like X.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen, stand aside!\u201d said Godzilla. He performed his drop kick and toppled X. X got really mad and started punching repeatedly. Godzilla got away from the man, readjusting his jaw. \u201cXiliens are similar to humans,\u201d mused Godzilla to X. \u201cThe average man can\u2019t make a dent in me, so how did you dislocate my jaw?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow is he talking normally?\u201d asked Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf he IS similar to humans,\u201d continued Batman, \u201cGodzilla should be slurred after a jaw dislocation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe has something called RG-1 cells,\u201d I explained, \u201cor Regenerator G-1 cells.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJudging by the name alone,\u201d guessed Batman, \u201che can repair damaged tissue at an accelerated rate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExactly,\u201d I confirmed. \u201cAlthough, in Japan, we call them Organizer G-1 cells.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the topic of biology,\u201d remarked Godzilla, \u201con the rare occasion I\u2019m allowed to hit a guy, they crumple in a heap after two punches. How are you still standing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou assume me to be the average Xilien,\u201d hissed X. He went Keizer again and decked Godzilla. Soon, it went into a full-blown brawl. Just then, X\u2019s watch beeped and spat an object out to Heather. She grabbed it and grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s all five!\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat?!\u201d I yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI finally have the four Apocalypse Dial parts and the belt!\u201d replied Heather. \u201cApocalypse\u2019s power is mine!\u201d She then got out of my grip and fled through a portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNO!\u201d I screamed, the implications hitting me. If she got all four Dial parts and the belt, I think I can safely say the others failed as well. \u201cDAMNATION!\u201d I shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEasy, kitty,\u201d assured 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEASY?!\u201d I roared, pointing a hairy finger at her. I was turning back into Tora-Onna. \u201cTHAT MONSTER JUST TOOK OFF WITH A MEANS TO GET LACEY\u2019S POWER AND YOU\u2019RE TELLING ME TO TAKE IT EASY?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause it will work out in the long run,\u201d assured 70-year-old me. \u201cLacey\u2019s DNA is the default.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow does that\u2026that\u2026that\u2026that may have been Heather\u2019s biggest mistake yet!\u201d I realized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t follow,\u201d remarked Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour DNA is locked into the Apocalypse Driver\u2019s systems,\u201d I clarified. \u201cWith a ghost in possession of its power, the device will think it\u2019s you and make your body!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right, the Reconstitution Function!\u201d recalled Lacey. \u201cIn the event my body gets destroyed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, Heather\u2019s going to look like Lacey?\u201d asked Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore like a damaged clone of me,\u201d replied Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI guess that\u2019s the reason why my future came to help,\u201d I mused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat future?!\u201d roared X as he tossed Godzilla. Godzilla soon steadied himself and got into a fighting stance. \u201cAt the moment,\u201d growled X, \u201cI\u2019d say it\u2019s unknown! Like an X-Factor!\u201d Godzilla seemed to be hit with some idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cX-Factor,\u201d he muttered. \u201cUnknown\u2026no\u2026no, it can\u2019t be!\u201d X then took off his watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGenetic dampener offline,\u201d reported the watch before X stomped on it. His shoulders then bulked up, his eyes went red, and a tail came out. I then realized what got Godzilla so spooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMonster X!\u201d I realized. X turned towards us with an evil grin. \u201cBut\u2026but Godzilla fried you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA bit of me survived and the Xiliens reforged me,\u201d explained X. \u201cI was then placed in cold storage after Controller 0-1-2 was selected! She didn\u2019t find my desire to return here and squash you agreeable, since she found an \u201cinnovative and creative\u201d solution to her people\u2019s problem. I was kept locked up the entire time! After breaking out, I took a genetic dampener and hid myself among the Xiliens. Over time, I gathered people to my cause, people dissatisfied with the current condition and wanted to invade Earth. I got us a ship and, well, the rest is history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, you hired three humans to fix your Youfoe!\u201d replied Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYoufoe is something that you say to your enemy,\u201d corrected Moe. \u201cTHAT was a SAUCER we crashed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSaucer?\u201d asked Curly. \u201cThat\u2019s something you put a teacup on!\u201d That prompted a slap from Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid you just identify yourselves as humans?!\u201d asked X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, that was your first mistake, believing us!\u201d taunted Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGuys,\u201d gulped Godzilla, \u201cyou REALLY want to stop!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter with you?\u201d asked Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat thing nearly killed me at the end of the Millennium Wars!\u201d replied Godzilla, referring to the events of Godzilla: Final Wars<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd now, we\u2019re right where I need to be,\u201d growled X. \u201cAfter a little growth spurt, SpaceGodzilla, Gigan, and I will conquer this world and make a new one where humans are nonexistent! A dead rock orbiting an unfeeling sun!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat wasn\u2019t our deal!\u201d shouted a voice. We turned to see SpaceGodzilla and Gigan coming out. Gigan had his hooks ready. \u201cI\u2019m supposed to rule this planet,\u201d snarled SpaceGodzilla, \u201ca LIVING planet! NOT A LIFELESS HUSK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour desires are irrelevant,\u201d dismissed X. \u201cIf you will not take this chance, then you and Gigan will have served your purpose. Find another world to rule.\u201d SpaceGodzilla charged at X who back-handed him, then used some sort of remote to bathe himself, SpaceGodzilla, and Gigan in some sort of light. That light\u2026was not good. The Kaiju-men grew, and morphed, and changed, until they were back in their monster forms. Gigan took the appearance he had in Final Wars. Monster X was about to level a building when he got a tail smack from SpaceGodzilla. Gigan then fired his cables and wrapped them around Monster X. He then activated the Buzzsaw and pulled Monster X towards him. The damage was awful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just received word,\u201d reported Kiryu. \u201cWe\u2019re to utilize our Kaiju-Riser.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour what?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the event any evil monster regains their original form,\u201d explained Biollante, \u201ca Kaiju-Riser is to be used to return any good monster to THEIR original form and combat the threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn other words,\u201d said Godzilla as a primal grin crossed his face, \u201cit\u2019s back to basics!\u201d His grin faded. \u201cUnless the U.N. has something against ME getting into the fight!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you kidding?\u201d asked Kiryu. \u201cThe Japanese delegation wouldn\u2019t go through with the Kaiju-Riser in this instance unless YOU were the one to permanently put Gigan and SpaceGodzilla down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou mean\u2026turn them into ash?!\u201d said Godzilla happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have their death warrants right here,\u201d replied Kiryu as he tapped his brain. We then heard jets. We looked up to see a pair of fighter jets carrying Kiryu\u2019s big Godzilla-like body. One of the jets then bathed the area in light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is it!\u201d cheered Godzilla as the changes started coming. His mouth and nose became a large snout. His skin was replaced by charcoal grey scales. His eyes moved outwards a little. His pinkies sunk in. His legs became more trunk-like as his mass shifted down a little. He grew up to his full height of 150 meters. Mothra\u2019s head tilted up as it morphed into her monster head. Her arms shrunk in and her legs made up her abdomen. Her insect legs came out and she grew to her full length of 72 meters. Biollante\u2019s arms separated into vines with Venus fly-trap mouths. Her human skin was replaced by layers of green plant matter as her rose wilted. Her mouth extended to crocodile lengths and was filled with teeth! She grew upwards to her height of 120 meters. Zilla hunched over as his lower jaw got bigger and his upper jaw extended. He became covered in charcoal grey scales as his pinkies shrunk in and he became more T-Rex like. He was the runt at a height of 55 meters. King Ghidorah\u2019s arms went over his head as the hands became dragon heads. His middle neck stretched upwards and his head became a dragon one. His legs became trunk-like as he was covered in gold scales and grew to become Godzilla\u2019s height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuccess!\u201d I called. I shook hands with the Stooges, Lacey, Batman, Godzilla, and\u2026wait a minute. Who did I shake hands with last? I turned to Godzilla and\u2026oh no. Godzilla and I were literally seeing eye to eye! I heard everyone gasp in surprise! We were Kaiju sized!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will admit,\u201d muttered 70-year-old me, \u201cI forgot this bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd we\u2019re complaining\u2026why?\u201d asked Lacey. I opened my mouth, then shut it as I realized there was no reason to complain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cQuick question,\u201d I asked 70-year-old me, \u201cdo I need to use Tora-Onna?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNah,\u201d replied 70-year-old me. \u201cThe belts are repaired. You can use your Rider mode.\u201d Godzilla gave a confused grunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll see,\u201d I assured. 70-year-old me and I got our i.d tags out and Lacey got her hand on the dial. I then noticed 70-year-old me had a blue ring around the tag reader in the center of her belt. It looked almost the ring of the Gateway on Vorton, but with eight Keystones instead of five. \u201cNice belt,\u201d I commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, this old thing?\u201d asked 70-year-old me. \u201cIt\u2019s just something you\u2019ll pick up after\u2026never mind, I said too much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll right, then,\u201d I declared. \u201cHenshin!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHenshin!\u201d announced Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHenshin!\u201d called 70-year-old me. We all then went into our Rider forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the?!\u201d yelped Moe. Larry jumped into Curly\u2019s arms. The Kaiju made confused noises as well as surprised ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNever mind that,\u201d I replied. Kiryu\u2019s big body\u2019s eyes then started glowing yellow. \u201cAre we all ready?\u201d I asked. Everyone gave confirmation noises. \u201cThen, Godzilla-san, lead the way!\u201d Godzilla stamped his foot and gave a challenge roar. Monster X, Gigan, and SpaceGodzilla heard and gave of roars of defiance. That was the cue as we charged towards the evil Kaiju. They charged at us as well and we met in the middle. SpaceGodzilla quickly made a crystal fortress. The Stooges jumped the crystals and started whacking SpaceGodzilla. Curly managed to smack his snout down. SpaceGodzilla threw the Stooges off of him and he levitated Curly. Curly was calling for help, even when he was placed in a ring of crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHEY MOE! HEY LARRY!\u201d cried Curly. \u201cI\u2019M SURROUNDED! GET ME OUT!\u201d His hands went through the spaces the crystals made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHold on, kid!\u201d called Moe. \u201cWe\u2019ll have you out!\u201d They grabbed his hands. \u201cReady! Pull! Heave!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHo!\u201d shouted Larry as they pulled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHeave!\u201d commanded Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHo!\u201d replied Larry as they pulled again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust a second!\u201d called 70-year-old me. \u201cI got this.\u201d She drew out a gold i.d tag! She then swapped i.d tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHarry Potter Steel!\u201d announced her belt in its original voice. The wardrobe closed, then faded to reveal her in armor based off of Harry Potter in his school uniform!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou visited Harry\u2019s world?!\u201d I breathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToured Hogwarts!\u201d cheered 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCool!\u201d I called. 70-year-old me drew her sword and pointed it at Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTake it easy now!\u201d he yelped, fearing the worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWingardium Leviosa!\u201d chanted 70-year-old me as she swished her sword, then flicked it. She then raised Curly out of the crystal prison. Curly yelped as he came out. His friends then brushed him off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEasy kid! Easy!\u201d assured Moe. SpaceGodzilla roared in frustration. He then readied his deadly Corona Beam but was interrupted by Zilla popping out of the ground and sucker-punching him. A light then traveled up Zilla\u2019s spines as he fired green flames from his mouth. It annoyed SpaceGodzilla but didn\u2019t hurt him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe shoulders!\u201d I shouted. \u201cSmash the shoulder crystals!\u201d Zilla nodded and started smashing his hands on them. They were cracking, but at a slow rate. The Stooges joined in and accelerated the cracking. Soon, they shattered! SpaceGodzilla roared in pain, then focused his rage on Zilla. Zilla quickly dug a hole and disappeared under the streets. SpaceGodzilla looked around and Biollante took her chance. She fired her corrosive sap and burned him. SpaceGodzilla turned and roared at her, but Biollante gave a roar of defiance. SpaceGodzilla charged but was ensnared by her vines and tossed onto a crystal, impaling him. He gave a dying roar, became light particles, and reassembled in his Kaiju-man form, but with a hole in his chest. SpaceGodzilla was dead. Zilla popped up and joined Biollante in a victory roar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t celebrate just yet,\u201d I replied as Gigan took a swipe at me. I ducked but was hit by his laser vision. Randy then leapt onto Gigan\u2019s shoulders and slammed his fist on his head. He then started shaking his hand in pain as Gigan tossed him off. Mothra then grabbed him and flew through the air with him in her grasp. She was gonna throw him into a building, but Gigan took control of the flight pattern and went upwards. He then cut his means of propulsion and put his back to the ground. Mothra was going to be crushed! King Ghidorah helped her out by having his left head chomp on Gigan\u2019s tail. Mothra let go of Gigan as he was thrown to the ground. King Ghidorah was about to fire his gravity bolts when cables wrapped around the left and right neck. Gigan got up and started pulling King Ghidorah towards him, the buzz saw on his front spinning. Gigan has been known as a sadist and a lunatic. If he had human features right now, a wicked grin would be crossing his face. I stepped in and severed the cables with my blade. \u201cGhidorah! Duck!\u201d I called. King Ghidorah ducked his heads down. \u201cDai Super Charge!\u201d I announced. As the armor flew, some hit Monster X on the head. The rest hit the Stooges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey!\u201d snapped Moe. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you call your shots?!\u201d Gigan then fired new cables at me, but I grabbed them and started spinning. I spun so fast, Gigan was taken into the air. He was screeching at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d I called. \u201cLet go? Okay!\u201d I released the cables and Gigan flew into one of the crystal towers. It crumbled and landed on him, crushing him. He turned into light particles and reassembled into his smaller form, next to SpaceGodzilla\u2019s corpse. Gigan had fallen. \u201cThat\u2019s two,\u201d I counted. \u201cLet\u2019s help Godzilla!\u201d Godzilla, Batman, Kiryu, and Apocalypse were all on top of Monster X. He wasn\u2019t taking it well, so we swarmed him. He was a match for us and threw us all off. Batman fired his grapple gun around his legs. Monster X then fell onto his hands.  \u201cThat was a mistake,\u201d I gulped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen is it a mistake to topple a monster?\u201d asked Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen getting on his hands allows him to turn into a quadrupedal, three headed, winged monster!\u201d answered Apocalypse. Monster X\u2019s arms then turned into trunk-like feet as wings sprouted from his back. The neck elongated as the head became dragon like. Two more heads grew from the shoulders as the wings spread. Monster X had just become Keizer Ghidorah! He fired gravity beams as Godzilla fired his atomic breath. Godzilla\u2019s beam was overpowered as he was blown back. Keizer Ghidorah ran forward and bit down on Godzilla. He was draining him again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGET OFF OF HIM!\u201d I roared as I leapt onto Keizer Ghidorah. He flung me off and then flung the drained Godzilla onto me. At that point, everyone shrunk down. We were human-sized again and Keizer Ghidorah was mocking us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook at you all,\u201d he taunted in our heads. \u201cPathetic ants beneath my feet. Not even the clone and our cyborg could defeat me. It took a maser cannon to charge you, Godzilla. Now, there is none. You have nothing to help you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot\u2026true!\u201d grunted Godzilla. It was then that I saw orange markings on him. I then remembered his predecessor doing something like this, but not by choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGodzilla, this is all involuntary, right?!\u201d I gulped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh no, unlike my predecessor,\u201d replied Godzilla. \u201cI purposely put myself in my Burning State.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut, that will put you into meltdown!\u201d I cried. \u201cAnd there aren\u2019t any freezer cannons around to stop you from destroying this place!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have an idea,\u201d assured Godzilla. \u201cTrust me. If the forecast is right\u2026\u201d a crack of thunder interrupted him. \u201c\u2026And it is.\u201d The rain then came down. It was followed by flashes of lightning. \u201cStep back,\u201d advised Godzilla. I did so and lightning struck his spines repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLightning never strikes him unless\u2026\u201d I then realized his plan. \u201cHe\u2019s not turning himself into an atom bomb, he\u2019s turning himself into an EMP blaster!\u201d I said. His spines went white and the orange markings died down. He aimed at Keizer Ghidorah and fired! The electricity and radiation ravaged Keizer Ghidorah as he shrunk down into his Kaiju-man form. It looked similar to King Ghidorah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!\u201d he roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI combined the lightning I attracted and stored with a heart I was putting into meltdown,\u201d answered Godzilla. \u201cI then channeled it like my Spiral Red Atomic Blast. That got me safely out of my Burning State and cooled me off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut, with the resulting radiation\u2026!\u201d cried Keizer Ghidorah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re now locked in your Kaiju-man form,\u201d responded Kiryu as his humanoid robot body jumped down from his giant one. \u201cClever move, I need to utilize it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou stupid lizard! I\u2019LL KILL YOU!\u201d roared Keizer Ghidorah. Godzilla gave a grunt as Keizer Ghidorah charged at him. They locked hands and tried to overpower each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHold on!\u201d cried a voice. Godzilla and Keizer Ghidorah were tossed aside by my 200-year-old self! \u201cYou whipper-snappers can\u2019t do anything right, can you?!\u201d she snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhipper-snappers?\u201d I protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always wanted to say that,\u201d sighed 200-year-old me. \u201cHey, X! I brought someone with me.\u201d She moved aside to reveal a woman in Xilien clothes. Keizer Ghidorah\u2019s eyes went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo! You didn\u2019t!\u201d he yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho\u2019s she?\u201d asked Godzilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKarna!\u201d replied X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou bet; it is!\u201d hissed the Xilien woman. \u201cKarna, Controller 0-1-2 of Planet X. I\u2019ve heard about the whole situation from Queen Megumi\u2019s future. It seemed too outlandish, but now that I see the destruction that was wrought, I see otherwise. Godzilla, making an EMP blast like that would have ruptured your heart!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cListen, lady,\u201d snarled Godzilla, \u201cI was trying to\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSave it,\u201d interrupted Karna. \u201cI know. The genetic jigsaw puzzle here was sore about losing to you after our previous invasion! X, I warned you that an invasion was ill-advised. You ignored me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will NOT live knowing that a planet and monster that was behind my downfall still exists!\u201d roared Keizer Ghidorah. \u201cIf I cannot destroy Godzilla, I will destroy this insignificant rock!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told you, revenge is destructive all around!\u201d shouted Karna. \u201cYou could have destabilized the peace we Xiliens finally achieved!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait, are you just doing this for political gain?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you wish to paint that kind of selfish picture, then yes,\u201d replied Karna. \u201cWe finally terraformed our planet to look similar to yours and now no longer need to scavenge other worlds for resources. Nor do we need to rely on computers to run our lives. This nitwit here hated the fact that our world looked like Earth as it reminded him of his defeat here. So, he gathered other Xiliens that hated the current lifestyle we hold dear and took a ship to settle scores with Godzilla.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis existence is unbearable!\u201d wailed Keizer Ghidorah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hear THAT from select humans,\u201d muttered Godzilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMonster X,\u201d declared Karna, \u201cthrough your act of rebellion, you have proven yourself to be a failure in the cosmos.\u201d She then whipped out a gun and fired a laser at him. His monstrous parts shrunk into his flesh and he was returned to his Xilien form. \u201cYou shall remain here, on this world, in a weaker form.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo! You can\u2019t!\u201d cried X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGodzilla, he\u2019s yours to deal with,\u201d declared Karna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I have something special in mind!\u201d snarled Godzilla. X backed away, scared. Godzilla strode forward, raised his hand\u2026and slapped handcuffs on X! \u201cX, you\u2019re under arrest for assault on humans and unauthorized reversion to your monster form!\u201d declared Godzilla. X was trembling in fury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI HATE YOU!\u201d roared X as the G.D.F took him away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was\u2026surprisingly mature of you,\u201d I remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t take this the wrong way,\u201d replied Godzilla. \u201cI only did it because killing a human or Xilien is no challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSure, put on the tough guy act,\u201d I countered. The rain had finally died. \u201cTypical,\u201d I sighed. \u201cWe save the day and the weather clears up.\u201d Godzilla turned to the sun and let out a roar of victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, we didn\u2019t complete our original objective,\u201d observed Batman. \u201cLet\u2019s get back to Vorton.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood idea,\u201d I agreed. \u201cX-PO, we need a rift home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re about to see a gloomy sight,\u201d replied X-PO. A portal opened for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou coming?\u201d I asked Godzilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnfortunately,\u201d rumbled Godzilla, \u201cI must decline. The human I imprinted on, Gojo Azusa, is expecting me after the fight. I can\u2019t forget my mother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnyone else?\u201d I asked the other Kaiju-men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiollante and I have had too many dates called off,\u201d replied Zilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re having one tonight!\u201d declared Biollante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just recently laid my eggs,\u201d answered Mothra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m still needed in the Kaiju-men Police Force,\u201d replied King Ghidorah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I need an overhaul for both of my bodies,\u201d answered Kiryu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, Kiryu,\u201d called a fighter pilot. \u201cAs long as you\u2019re smart again, I have a question. With the old Kaiju-Riser, I could make only the Kaiju-men grow, practically every time! If you\u2019re such a genius\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI AM a genius,\u201d snarled Kiryu, \u201cbut, I expected more control from your fat fingers!\u201d The pilot looked at his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re proportional to me,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, I got the data from your plane\u2019s black box,\u201d snapped Kiryu. \u201cQuit jabbing the controls so hard! The impact sets the Riser function to all organics in the radius of the beam!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Oops,\u201d muttered the pilot. \u201cSorry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo THAT\u2019S why Godzilla and I could see eye to eye!\u201d I realized. \u201cWell, that was a narrow escape, but I have to take the Stooges back home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, maybe you can tell us about these candies!\u201d called Curly. He had a bag full of something. He fished an object out and was about to eat it! It was a purple stud!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGIMME THAT!\u201d I snapped as I swiped the bag and stud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be greedy!\u201d called Curly. \u201cThere\u2019s plenty for everybody!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou twit, you were about to eat money!\u201d I snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoney?!\u201d yelped Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, these are studs, our main currency,\u201d I answered. \u201cVortoranii, how much is in here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c429,000,\u201d counted Vortoranii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPutting our new total at\u2026\u201d I started doing some math, \u201c\u20263,401,000 studs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd, at the least value, a 10 value stud is the equivalent of $500,\u201d replied Vortoranii. \u201cSo, at the moment, we have $170,050,000.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait, we\u2019re millionaires?!\u201d I yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, and they can be converted to your universe\u2019s cash,\u201d answered Vortoranii. \u201cAny form of cash, Yen, Euro, Australian Dollar, U.S. dollar, you name it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou imbecile!\u201d snapped Moe to Curly. \u201cYou were about to eat money!\u201d He was about to poke Curly\u2019s eyes, but Curly put his hand between his eyes. Moe then slapped Curly, resulting in Curly holding that area, then Moe poked his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, let him alone!\u201d protested Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you butting in for?!\u201d snarled Moe. He then smacked Larry\u2019s forehead, the force knocking him into the portal. \u201cHEY, WAIT!\u201d called Moe as he went after Larry. Curly was trying to hit on Mothra. Moe came up behind him. \u201cGrab your ear,\u201d he commanded. Curly did so and Moe yanked on Curly\u2019s arm, dragging him into the portal and following him shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Sorry,\u201d I said to Mothra. \u201cThose nitwits hit on any pretty girl.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
