Ice Dragon Slayer/Chapter 28: Origins - The Half-Century War: Part 2

Bombay, India - 1987:
The area around the Fairy Tail wizards changed again and now they found themselves in another city where they noticed crowds of people running past them in a straight up panic. Some were running while carrying large bags over their backs while some were speeding past on bikes or small cars. The mages simply watched them in confusion.
"What do ya think got them so spooked?" Gray asked as he continued to watch the fleeing civilians.
His question was answered when a loud explosion was heard from behind them. They all turned around and saw Godzilla marching by as he fired his Atomic Breath at a large building, causing it to collapse.
"There's your answer." Cana stated calmly while leaning her head towards the Ice-Make wizard.
Godzilla continued to stomp his way through the city as several helicopters and fighter jets flew by and pelted him with missiles, earning several angry roars from the King of Monsters. Then several tanks rolled up in front of him and started blasting at him, the projectiles exploding on his charcoal-grey skin. One tank eventually got lucky and managed to hit Godzilla under his chin, causing the monster king to retaliate with his Atomic Breath and destroying the tanks.
"I can't get over that Godzilla's so mad at everything." Happy said with slight fear in his voice as he hid behind Lucy's legs. The blonde herself only watched in silence as Godzilla continued to fire his Atomic Breath at several more buildings.
'He seemed so calm when we first met him.' she thought to herself. 'I wonder what made him change from...this.'
Then the wizards noticed two planes fly up behind Godzilla while carrying what looked like a large metal box.
"What's up with the giant box?" Bickslow asked.
"Dunno, but it looks pretty tasty." Gajeel said with a grin.
"You'll eat anything that's metal, won't you?" Levy said with a slight glare.
"You know me too well shrimp." Gajeel snickered.
Then with a loud crash, the planes dropped the large box right behind Godzilla, causing him to turn around. The two locks on the box snapped off and it made a loud hissing sound as it opened. At first the inside looked pitch black, then a large figure with two glowing yellow eyes slowing walked out of the box. When the figure finally stepped out, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"SKREEEEONK!"
----Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993) OST: Main Theme...
----"What is that?!" Evergreen exclaimed.
"It looks like a...robot Godzilla!" Elfman said in surprise.
He was correct, a large metal creature with two long nozzles sticking out of each shoulder appeared and gave off a metallic screech that almost resembled Godzilla's own roar.
"That is Mechagodzilla." the Shobijin said in unison.
"Mechagodzilla?" Lisanna asked in confusion.
"A robot double the humans created for the soul purpose of defeating Godzilla. They felt the only to defeat Godzilla was to build their own." they answered together.
"I guess that would make sense." Mirajane said.
Natsu nodded slightly. "Fighting fire with fire, in a way."
As the group watched the battle between Godzilla and Mechagodzilla, Erza couldn't help but feel somewhat amazed. "Such power. Could a machine like this really defeat Godzilla?"
Before the Shobijin could answer her question, a pair of familiar voices could be heard coming from inside a white A.M.F. van right next to them that they didn't seem to notice just as the back doors swung open.
"Whatever! Just do me a favor and smoke it outside!" the unmistakable voice of Kentaro called from inside the van.
"Alright! Alright!" the man answered in an annoyed tone as he closed the door behind him and lit a cigarette. When he turned around, the mages instantly recognized him as Ota Murakami, only he looked slightly older now.
He was wearing a blue A.M.F. uniform and glasses. His side burns and the back of his head were completely grey and he also had a small goatee. He looked up at MechaGodzilla as it fired two powerful Maser Cannons from the nozzles on its shoulders.
"Its not like I'm doing anything important here, anyway." he said as he continued to observe the large robot. "Let me know if HQ asks how shiny their new robot looks from two miles away."
"What's wrong with him?" Happy asked as he hovered next to Natsu. "He seems kinda down."
"Probably just old age." Natsu suggested.
Ota sighed as he saw MechaGodzilla fire it's Paralysis Missiles from each side of its hips and strike Godzilla in both shoulders. "...Sometimes I think that you ruined me, you big ugly bastard."
"Yep, it's gotta be the old age." Natsu said.
"Don't be such an idiot." Gray said. "Can't you see he's upset?"
"I just wish he wouldn't be so hard on Godzilla." Wendy said with a sad look on her face as she watched Godzilla continued his fight with his robot double. "This isn't his fault, that Deverich guy made him do all this."
"I know how you feel, Wendy." Lucy said in a sad tone as she watched the fight with her. "I feel the same."
Erza turned her attention to the Shobijin as a question came up. "Pardon me for asking this ladies, but I was wondering... did you know Ota?"
The twin faeries were visibly surprised by the scarlet-haired swords woman's question, but nodded in response. "When outsiders first discovered our home on Infant Island, a corrupt businessman captured us in the hopes of making money. Because of this, Mothra tried to find us and was brought into conflict with humanity. However, Ota rescued us and returned us to the island. As a token of gratitude, we connected Ota's thoughts with ours. We were linked and shared out inner thoughts...but the link was broken, when Ota lost Schooler."
"So you had a connection with him?" Mirajane asked, looking a bit intrigued by the Shobijin's statement.
Just as the two nodded, a blond haired man wearing green vest and glasses with brown pants and a red baseball cap calmly walked past Ota and the mages while whistling a soft tune and carrying a small metal suit case in each hand, which caused them all to look at him with confusion and suspicion. Then, Ota's eyes practically bulged out of their sockets when the man turned his head to the side to look at something.
"DEVERICH!" he shouted in total shock, causing the mages to look on in shock when they realized who it was. Ota then grabbed a radio out of his pocket as he ran after Deverich, who was still walking at a calm pace, while shoving his way through a crowd of people. Stunned by this, the mages proceeded to follow after the two.
"Ken! Get on the line!" Ota said into his radio. "It's Deverich! Deverich is here!"
"WHA?! No way!" Ken shouted from the radio.
"Get whoever is running the Transmitter search and tell them he's heading north!" Ota ordered. "I'm following on foot!"
"Oh, man! Yeah! Okay! Got it!" Ken answered, still sounding quit surprised. "...And Ota, you get that crook. It's time he paid."
Ota gave a determined smile. "You better believe he will."
Gajeel grinned at the scene before him. "Looks like that guys gonna get a royal beat down."
"I honestly don't blame him for wanting to rough up that monster." Carla said.
"It's time for justice to be served." Freed said with a small smile.
They watched as Ota continued to follow the scientist while Godzilla and MechaGodzilla continued their battle. Ota hid behind a corner as Deverich entered an a abandoned warehouse. Once he was gone, Ota started coughing a little.
"Maybe Ken was right about quitting!" he said to himself before he pulled out a pistol and peeked around the open door.
"Alright, the Transmitter has done it's job. Time to leave now, yes?" Deverich said as he stood before two identical men in black suits and dark glasses. One was looking through one of the metal suitcases while the other stood in front of Deverich with his arms crossed. "Wouldn't want to get trampled by something with feet the size of a city block, no? Sometimes these devices of mine do their jobs a little too well!"
The two men, however, simply looked at him without saying anything before they walked off, leaving Deverich to let out a deep sigh.
"I've really got to get out of this line of work." he said as he took off his baseball cap. "Some day it's all going to catch up to me."
"Sooner than you realized, scumbag."
Deverich instantly flinched, but didn't have time to react before Ota punched Deverich in the back of his head. "You've got a lot to answer for, Deverich!" Ota shouted as the scientist landed on his face.
"Yeah! Take that jerk down!" Natsu cheered.
"Colonel Schooler! My friends! All those cities burned and lives lost!" he continued to shout as he pinned Deverich to the ground while pointing his gun at his head. "You think you can just point Godzilla wherever you please and walk away like a free man?!"
Deverich looked up at him with a nervous smile. "Free? Not quite. That's the problem with dealing with these unscrupulous types...they tend not to let a good asset go!"
"Save yourself a heap of trouble Deverich." Ota growled. "Where's the Psionic Transmitter?"
The blonde-haired scientist cocked an eyebrow. "Um...well. It's that quite obvious thing right behind you."
Ota, as well as the Fairy Tail wizards, turned around and gasped at what they saw. Right behind them was a large metal container and inside it...was a giant Psionic Transmitter.
Cana's eyes widened. "Another one?!"
"And it's the biggest one yet!" Freed exclaimed.
"Oh my god." Ota muttered. "You perfected the damn thing."
Deverich chuckled. "Well, yes actually. It's roughly one thousand times more potent than the last model. A bit excessive, really, but a jewel in my crown nonetheless!"
"A jewel?!" Levy shouted in disbelief. "Does he have any idea just how dangerous that thing could be?!"
Ota then punched the mad scientist right across his face. "You rotten sonuva-"
"OTA! You got him! You actually go-" Ken shouted as he entered the room with two other soldiers before stopping when he noticed the Psionic Transmitter. "WOAH! That's a big boom box!"
"GET THE TECHIES IN HERE NOW!" Ota screamed as the Transmitter began to flash. "We've got to shut this thing down befo-"
----Fairy Tail OST: Released Power...
----Outside, everyone noticed large crystals beginning to fall from sky. The mages, Ota and Kentaro, the soldiers and Deverich exit the building to see what was happening. Following the crystals is a gigantic crystal structure.
"What's happening?!" Happy yelled.
"Giant crystals?!" Lisanna exclaimed, looking just as stunned as everyone else.
The smaller crystals began to land in the city. Godzilla and Mechagodzilla stand their ground. The giant crystal lands right in front of the Kaiju and the Mecha, who lose their footing and stumble. Everyone looks at the large structure in shock.
Erza's eyes narrowed. "What in the name of Mavis is-"
"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEARRRRRNT!"
A loud roar erupted from the crystal structure as a massive creature emerged from inside before giving off another piercing roar.
"What the hell IS that?!" Gajeel shouted.
"It's so...scary." Wendy said as she held Carla in her arms.
Juvia gave a look of fright at the new monster. "I can sense immense energy from this creature."
Lucy blinked before she noticed something familiar about the creature. "It looks like...Godzilla."
"That is SpaceGodzilla." the Shobijin answered, causing everyone to look at them. "Godzilla's illegitimate brother."
The mages looked back at the space monster in total shock. They remembered Godzilla talking about SpaceGodzilla after their battle with the dark mages and how he feared that he and several others may have ended up on Earthland. This was him?
"Godzilla's... brother." Natsu uttered to himself.
"Oh no." Ota gasped. "That can't be..."
Deverich, however, looked at the new monster with confusion before the old soldier suddenly grabbed him be the collar.
"This is the jewel in your crown?!" he shouted. "You made the Transmitter too strong and brought this thing from god-knows-where! YOU BROUGHT US ANOTHER GODZILLA!"
SpaceGodzilla roared at the two beasts before him before firing his reddish yellow Corona Beam at MechaGodzilla, causing him to fly backwards into a building. Then the yellow horn on SpaceGodzilla's head began to glow as several crystal spikes began to levitate out of the ground before they flew right towards the robot. One spike stuck MechaGodzilla right in the chest, causing it's lights to suddenly go dark.
Gray's eyes widened. "He just took out Mechagodzilla!"
"Without breaking a sweat!" Elfman added.
Godzilla roared at his new opponent before firing his Atomic Breath at the space monster. However, SpaceGodzilla's horn glowed again and to everyone's shock, a transparent, crystal shield appeared in front him and completely blocked the blast. Godzilla's eyes slightly widened in surprise as SpaceGodzilla released another roar.
"What?! How'd he do that?!" Cana practically screamed.
"That shield just took that attack like it was nothing!" Bickslow yelled, his babies repeating his words.
"He blocked the blast!?" Ota shouted in shock.
"This is too much, Ota! Way too much!" Ken shouted as he kept Deverich restrained.
The old soldier gave a stern expression. "We've got to get to the MechaGodzilla!"
Then, SpaceGodzilla's horn began to glow again and his shoulder crystals began to send bolts of electricity into the tips of the crystal structure behind him. Godzilla charged at him angrily until he was suddenly levitated off the ground and sent flying into a cluster of buildings before SpaceGodzilla fired his Corona Beam at the downed kaiju.
"That thing looks like it's getting stronger by the minute." Lilly said nervously.
"Yeah, but how?" Happy asked.
Lucy suddenly had an epiphany moment and slammed her fist into her hand. "The crystals!"
"Huh?" the others mages asked with slight confusion.
"Those crystals behind SpaceGodzilla, they must be the source of his power boost..." she suggested, then turned to the Shobijin still sitting in Mira's hands. "...right?"
"You are correct, Miss Lucy." the tiny women answered.
The scene then changed and the group now found themselves standing beside the damaged Mechagodzilla, where they saw Ota climbing towards Mechagodzilla's head while Kentaro helped push him up.
"Up ahead! There's an open hatch on the side!" Ota called out.
Kentaro let out a few grunts as he struggled to lift his old comrade up. "Urf! Y'need to lose some pounds old man!"
"Gimme a boost!" he replied, ignoring his friends comment as he reached for the hatch and smoke came pouring out, the driver climbing out of the hatch while coughing profusely.
"Easy kid! I got you!" Ota said as he helped the soldier out of the smoking hatch.
"Systems are down...couldn't get her up again..." he said weakly as he tried to stand.
"Don't worry about it..." Ota said as he started climbing though the hatch the soldier had just exited from. "I got this one."
The Shobijin then changed the scene once more and the mages now found themselves standing inside of Mechagodzilla's cockpit just as Ota entered the hatch leading inside. Once he got into the operation room, he noticed it was a small room with a chair sitting in front of a computer. He just stared at the computer with a blank stare as he sat in the drivers seat.
"...Okay. What do we have here?" he said to himself.
Levy looked around at the small control room with amazement. "So this is how they control Mechagodzilla?"
The Shobijin nodded before they all turned their attention back to Ota as he began vigorously tapping at every button possible.
"C'mon you hunk of junk! There's got to be a reset switch!" he yelled as he continued to tap away at the buttons. Meanwhile, Godzilla was now being assaulted by several crystals being thrown towards him via SpaceGodzilla's telepathy.
Lucy's eyes widened. "Oh no! Godzilla!"
"He's completely outmatched!" Erza exclaimed.
"C'mon! C'mon! C'mon! C'MON!" he shouted as he slammed his fist on the console. MechaGodzilla's eyes flashed on and off for a bit before they finally flashed alive, the robot giving off a slightly broken roar. "Alright! This old dog isn't finished with the job yet."
MechaGodzilla fired a barrage of Maser blasts from his eyes, mouth and shoulder cannons at the large crystal structure behind SpaceGodzilla, causing it to explode. SpaceGodzilla ducked his head to avoid the falling debris, but he then started to feel lightheaded and began to stagger around a little.
"Got ya!" Ota exclaimed triumphantly.
A smile crossed Juvia's face. "He did it."
"And just in time too!" Cana exclaimed.
"That sure did the trick." Gajeel snickered as he watched the space monster stumble around.
Godzilla noticed SpaceGodzilla was vulnerable and took this chance to attack. He quickly got back to his feet and fired another Atomic Breath attack right at SpaceGodzilla's chest, causing another massive explosion. Godzilla roared triumphantly as the crystal structure was engulfed in a massive explosion.
"Man...that was tense." Gray said while sounding slightly out of breath.
"At least they finally got rid of Deverich." Levy said with a small smile.
"Incredible. To think that there would be a creature as powerful as Godzilla." Freed said as he observed Godzilla stomp away.
"He's got to be the strongest kaiju out there." Gildarts said.
"I'm afraid that isn't entirely true, Mister Gildarts." the Shobijin said, causing the other mages to look at them with slightly wide eyes.
"Are you saying that there's something stronger than even SpaceGodzilla?" Erza asked.
The Shobijin nodded before the knelt down and began to chant again as the scene changed again.
----Antarctica - 2002:
By the time the scene came into view once again, the Fairy Tail mages instantly noticed that it was incredibly cold, to the point that they could each easily see their breath every time that they breathed. Large amounts of snow a heavily chilly wind blew through the air across an icy landscape and they even observed large ice mountains off in the distance.
"Whoa, what is this place?" Cana inquired with surprise.
"Antarctica, a continent of ice in the south of our globe." the Shobijin answered.
Happy's body started to shiver as he hugged himself to keep himself warm. "Feels like I'm gonna freeze my tail off."
Gray simply shrugged his shoulders. "It ain't that bad."
"Of course you would say that." Lucy deadpanned before glancing off to the right over towards the Southern Ocean and noticing smoke rising off in the distance. "I wonder what that is."
Suddenly, a loud coughing sound was heard behind them and they turned around to see a now incredibly elderly and sickly-looking Ota Murakami stagger towards a railing that connected to a flight of stairs attached to the side of an icy mountain.
"Is that Ota?" Erza asked, visibly surprised at Ota's age, to which the Shinobi nodded in confirmation. 'To think he spent this long fighting Godzilla.'
"Good morning, beautiful." he said as he stared ahead at another large robot. It had almost what looked like a blue jet pack on it's back which was connected to a bulky blue cannon on each shoulder. It also had a blue wrist-mounted machine gun on each arm.
Freed stared at the giant robot with surprise. "Another Mechagodzilla?"
Again, the Shobijin nodded. "This is Kiryu, the successor to the first Mechagodzilla."
"They really pulled out all the stops on this model, eh Ken?" Ota said as he walked down the stairs towards another platform where his lifelong friend was looking at the robot.
"...Yeah." Ken said in a low voice. "One of the guys from the prep team was sayin' it has bits of real Godzilla built into it, if you can believe that."
"Wait, how is that even possible?" Levy asked the Shobijin.
"It is rather complicated, but somehow the humans where able to collect samples of Godzilla's DNA and inserted them into Kiryu. This was done in the hopes of learning more about Godzilla." the answered.
"Wow." Levy whispered to herself.
"You ready to go?" Ota asked his friend.
"...Is it okay if I say no?" Ken asked.
"Not today, old friend." he chuckled before he pulled out a cloth and started coughing uncontrollably into it. When he removed the cloth from his mouth, the mages noticed there was a splotch of blood on it. "...Lets get on with it." he said as Ken gave him a worried look. "They're almost here."
Lisanna blinked with confusion and turned to the Shobijin. "Wait, who's almost here?"
The scene then changed so the Fairy Tail wizards could see the source of the smoke from the ocean and saw military ships that were on fire. What really surprised them, however, were the ones responsible for the fire.
Standing on top of the aircraft carrier was what looked like a robotic chicken with green armor on it's arms, legs and head with yellow scales on it's chest, neck, back and tail. It had three yellow fins on its back and a red visor for it's eyes, it also had a long metal horn sticking out of the top of it's head and a metal beak filled with sharp metal teeth with mandibles on each side of the beak. It also had a metal hook on each of it's feet and on it's arms and a buzz saw ran down it's stomach.
The second one caught all the wizards, especially the Dragon Slayers, by complete surprise. It was a massive golden dragon with two long tails flying behind it while it's massive wings helped it fly through the air next to it's fellow Kaiju. But what really caught the mages attention was the fact that it had three heads, each one connected by a long neck. Each head had a similar set of long horns and two beady red eyes that just screamed pure evil.
"Is that... a DRAGON?!" Gajeel shouted in complete shock.
"It doesn't look like a friendly one!" Wendy said with complete fear in her voice.
"So this place has dragons too." Natsu said to himself while he stared at the massive dragon as it's right head fired what looked like a bolt of lightning from it's mouth at a warship that was floating next to the aircraft carrier.
"Indeed." the Shobijin said. "The dragon is known as King Ghidorah. The cyborg is known as Gigan."
"These creatures.." Juvia muttered with even more fear than last time. "They do feel stronger than SpaceGodzilla."
Lisanna and her older sister trembled at the sight of King Ghidorah's beady red eyes. "Yeah, especially the dragon. But why are they here?"
"They were brought to Terra by the same means as SpaceGodzilla, being drawn from deep space by Dr. Deverich's Psionic Transmitter." the Shobijin answered.
At that moment, the ground suddenly began to shake with incredible force and they all turned around to see Godzilla burst out of the ice and release a powerful roar as he stood at the edge of the shore, facing the two oncoming space monsters.
"Does Godzilla really think he can take those two?!" Elfman asked.
"He doesn't stand a chance against them!" Mira said. She to could feel the immense power coming from the two other monster.
Natsu and Lucy looked at Godzilla facing the sea, watching his new adversaries quickly approach the shore. They both thought the same thing.
'C'mon Godzilla...show 'em what you can do.'
----Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) OST: King Ghidorah's Terror...
----Gigan was the first to reach the shore when the aircraft carrier he was riding crashed into the ice in front of Godzilla. The King of the Monsters made the first move as he fired his Atomic Breath at the ship, engulfing it in flames.
Gigan suddenly flew out of the smoke and used his left hook to slash at Godzilla's left shoulder, causing him to roar in pain. He turned to his left and saw Gigan land on a small ridge nearby. Godzilla was about to face the cyborg monster when the wizards noticed the three headed dragon approaching him from behind.
"GODZILLA!" Natsu exclaimed.
"BEHIND YOU!" Lucy added.
It was too late however, as King Ghidorah approached Godzilla while he had his back turned and bit down on Godzilla's shoulders with his right and central head while his left head bit down on his tail. Godzilla roared in pain as the golden dragon literally lifted him off the ground by his three heads and began to add more pressure to Godzilla's shoulders with his jaws.
Gigan glided towards the two with his right hook in the air. He was ready to decapitate the King of the Monsters...until a barrage of missiles and Maser beams struck him in the chest, knocking him out of sky and onto the icy landscape.
The mages looked up and saw Kiryu was hovering in the air with it's jet pack with steam coming out of it's shoulder cannons.
[This old dog still has some fight left in him.] a voice announced from the robots speakers. The wizards instantly recognized the voice and were quickly filled with awe and relief.
"Ota." Erza sighed.
Gray slightly shook his head slightly. "The old geezer did it again."
Kiryu charged right into King Ghidorah's chest, forcing him to release Godzilla who fell to the ground with a loud thud. Kiryu managed to get behind Ghidorah and fired another round of Maser and missiles at the dragons back. King Ghidorah eventually recovered and blasted the robot with his signature Gravity Beams as Gigan slashed Kiryu with his hook hands.
Ota grunted in frustration. [They're too much to handle! I can't fight both at once!]
However, just as he said that, Godzilla shot up to his feet and grabbed King Ghidorah's right head and used it's Gravity Beam to blast Gigan out of the sky, causing him to crash into the icy terrain once again.
[HA! Saved by Godzilla?! What a day! I'd better return the favor!] Ota shouted as Kiryu's mouth opened up and a yellow light began to flash from inside. Kiryu fired another barrage of Masers and missiles at King Ghidorah, blasting him on his back. Godzilla simply stared at Kiryu while the robot stared back.
[That's right, big guy. I know you understand.] Ota said through Kiryu's speakers. [Two Godzilla's are better than one.]
Gigan eventually recovered from being blasted out of the sky and looked up...only to be blasted by Godzilla's Atomic Breath and Kiryu's Triple-Round Hyper Masers. Their moment of victory was interrupted however, when King Ghidorah appeared from behind and began firing his Gravity Beams at them.
[RRGH! Back up already!] Ota growled in frustration.
Then a robotic voice spoke from an electronic countdown clock next to him. "Dimension Tide Firing T-Minus One Minute."
"Out of time!" Ota grunted as he looked a the countdown clock. "If we don't get them in the line of fire then it's all over!"
"Wait! What's Dimension Tide?" Levy asked the Shobijin.
"You will see." they answered.
Off in the distance, the mages noticed a massive gun resting on a high platform begin to glow while giving off a loud humming sound. King Ghidorah eventually managed to kick Godzilla to the ground while Kiryu flew towards Gigan who was trying to get up again.
[C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!] Ota repeated to himself.
Suddenly, the large gun released a massive, pitch-black ball of energy right towards where Godzilla and King Ghidorah were. By then, Kiryu tackled Gigan and began to carry him towards the other two monsters.
"Whoa!" Happy exclaimed.
Natsu's eyes practically bugged out of his head. "A black hole?!"
"That's what Dimension Tide is?!" Lucy shouted.
By the time the black energy ball had reached it's destination, Kiryu let go of Gigan, causing him to crash in to King Ghidorah and right in the path of the Dimension Tide blast. The space monsters screeched in anger and terror as their bodies slowly began to sink into the massive black hole until their screaming forms finally vanished. Godzilla roared as the black hole slowly began to grow and was ready to make his escape.
[NO! YOU'RE NOT WALKING AWAY AGAIN GODZILLA!] Ota screamed. [NOT THIS TIME!]
Kiryu then landed right towards Godzilla and began to push him towards the black hole before Kiryu suddenly began to slowly fall apart. Erza's eyes widened with shocking realization.
"Wait. Is he-"
The Shobijin nodded somberly. "Yes, he is."
[I'LL MAKE YOU NOTICE ME!] Ota screamed again. As the black hole grew closer, the cockpit of the robot exploded, giving Ota a good view of Godzilla. He began to cough vigorously again as he stood up in his seat. "LOOK AT ME!"
When Godzilla didn't look at him, Ota jabbed his thumb towards himself.
"LOOK AT ME, YOU DAMN MONSTER!"
"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEONGK!"
Ota could only smile as Godzilla continued to look ahead. "Stubborn to the end. Heh! Typical Godzilla!"
Godzilla roared again as the black hole grew closer.
"Thanks for seeing me off, big guy. It's been quite the journey." Ota said. He closed his eyes and continued to smile as the light of the black hole consumed them both.
The black hole began to glow brightly before vanishing into thin air, leaving a massive crater in it's place.
"Whoa..." Gajeel muttered.
"What a way to go." Gray said.
"I can't believe he's actually gone." Wendy whispered to herself.
"But...that can't be the end right?" Lucy asked worriedly.
"No." The Shobijin said. "It's only the beginning."
The scene slowly began to change again just as three rows of dorsal spine were seen swimming out to sea.
