Episode 4: ASI's Dark Secret

## Godzilla: Hotlines S3 Ep4: ASI's Dark Secret

In this S3 episode of Godzilla: Hotlines, after Kim and Jasmine were rescued by the ASI by past forces, they discover something else had surface from the past since that day.

## Plot

Logos start to play as we view two giants, Godzilla and Mechagodzilla, rivals at the bitter end sprint towards each other to fight each other. Mechagodzilla grabbed Godzilla by the throat and tightened his grip to choke the beast but it wasn’t working. When Godzilla kicked Mechagodzilla away from him, Mechagodzilla charged his boosters on his back as he launched towards Godzilla, punching the king in the face! Godzilla took the hit but fell down as he snarled low. Godzilla stood back as Mechagodzilla watched the king get back up and charge towards him but Godzilla pushed back! Pushing the mechanical beast down as he roared. Mechagodzilla wrapped his tail around Godzilla’s legs to try and bring him down as well as he stood up. He grabbed Godzilla once more and dragged him like a ragdoll, dragging him before throwing him to the mountain as he groaned. Once Mechagodzilla watched Godzilla get up, he started to short circuit. Like something else was taking over his mind. He turned to where Fujisawa would be located and armed his missiles. [General Suki] “What is it doing?!” She shouted in the comms but there was no respondes. Meanwhile over there, he was spazzing out like he was having a seizure or something. When Mechagodzilla roared and fired the missiles, Godzilla noticed this happening as the missiles would be fired upon Fujisawa with each missile having the words...OM! Meanwhile in Fujisawa, the citizens, including me and Jasmine, notice the barrage of OM Missiles heading towards the city as the people panic and get out of the way as they make landfall. I grabbed Jasmine’s hand and we bolted towards our trailer and locked the doors as we heard the impact of the missiles and people screaming for their lives! Back with Mechagodzilla, Godzilla used his atomic breath to push the beast down from behind and get his attention as Mechagodzilla turned to the king, with a bright, red glow in his eyes. However, when Mechagodzilla was going to make a move, Gabara arrived in time and bit the Mecha’s arm! Stopping him and surprising him as well!

Godzilla got up to help Gabara during this battle as he smacked Mechagodzilla in the face. Mechagodzilla turned to Godzilla to try and smack him away while Gabara was holding his arm. Mechagodzilla then kicked Gabara down and grabbed the beast’s neck to try and choke him. The fingers slowly stab into Gabara’s neck, making him slowly bleed. Gabara struggled to breathe from Mechagodzilla’s grip. But then Godzilla grabbed behind Mechagodzilla to get his attention and forced him to let go of Gabara as he fell. Mechagodzilla kicked Godzilla back as they both charged up their beams and both beams clashed into each other. As Mechagodzilla stood tall and proud, Godzilla’s Atomic breath soon gained the advantage and hit the mechanical beast’s chest, making him screech in pain as he fell down. Gabara and Godzilla stood over Mechagodzilla as he soon powered off. Godzilla was going to make a move where he was going to step on Mechagodzilla’s head but soon the ASI reinforcements arrived in time and opened fire at both creatures. Godzilla and Gabara both roar at the ASI reinforcements before they take this time to retreat for now, unable to kill Mechagodzilla. Gabara dive bombs into the ocean and so did Godzilla as both creatures swam away. General Suki soon came out of hiding and noticed Mechagodzilla’s body laying on the ground as an ASI Helicopter flew over to pick it up.

Meanwhile in Fujisawa, It had been a few minutes since Mechagodzilla’s fight ended a while ago and Me and Jasmine were hiding in our trailer. Jasmine looked outside for a moment and the screams had stopped and looked completely abandoned. There were missiles, empty and stuck in the ground due to the impact as Me and Jasmine slowly walked out of our trailer, our eyes turning left and right to look around. No screams, just..the wind whistling like everyone is gone like that. [Me] “<Where the hell everyone go?>” I asked myself. Jasmine raised her hand behind me but soon put it back down as she didn’t want to answer the question. She then followed behind as we walked into a building. It was dark and claw marks were covering the walls and floor, blood stains were on the corners of the walls. I was afraid to walk any closer but I kept going for some reason. I didn’t grab any weapons for some reason but Jasmine had her spear for protection. We got to a dark room where we could hear chomping. Like something was eating something. As the lights flicker, the figure that was eating something was..familiar. A bad familiar. It rose up, low snarling was heard from it. I instantly recognized the tall beast covered in darkness. Only sparks were the light we could see and let me tell you, I wasn’t happy with the result I got. It was the Matango (Male)! It roared at us with blood escaping the mouth and salva. I grabbed Jasmine’s hand and we rushed out of the building with the Matango male on our tail! [Me] “<Shit shit shit shit shit!>” I repeatedly said as it was chasing us but soon, another one cornered us. It was...different from the Matango male version. It was the female version! It didn’t have the tendrils on the head like the male does but a smaller head and two gaps below the hand as a bloody tentacle slithered out from that gap and waved in front of us. [Me] “<Well this is fucked up.>”

Jasmine pushed me aside and stabbed the female Matango in the face with the spear! It screeched in pain as the male Matango began to swing towards Jasmine from behind but I body slammed into the evil beast, clashing it against the wall as it stood up, limping before roaring at us. When it came running towards us, we moved out of the way as it bursted through a window, getting a glass shard stab in its head and killing it off, slowly. When we walked out, I decided to head towards the ASI base as I once again grabbed Jasmine's hand and moved us towards that base. For the most part, it looked untouched like no Matangos have touched this place yet. But then, as soon as we turned around, Matangos started to reveal themselves, males and females! They soon took notice of us and slowly walked towards us like being surrounded by zombies. We backed up towards the doors with only a spear as the only weapon we have against this army of Matangos. But then, soon a gust of wind blew heavily as we noticed something huge above us. Mechagodzilla being carried by the ASI! Our jaws were dropped when we noticed a robot version of Godzilla but soon, the ASI helicopters opened fire at the Matangos that surrounded us! A few soldiers, including Asaka, jumped down the ASI Helicopter as the Matangos retreated into the darkness. Asaka opened the locked doors for us as we all rushed in but I gave her a hug once we were inside and safe. [Asaka] “<Quite the warm welcome but thank you.>” [Me] “<What is going on here?! Soon the place was attacked by missiles and next, everyone is a Matango! Like..>” [Asaka] “<Kenji..I know but follow me please.>” We followed Asaka and the ASI soldiers to a secret bunker under the base as we soon noticed Mechagodzilla once again. Powered off because of what happened and a few cables attached to him to charge his power. When the elevator stopped, we walked out and I noticed it’s like being in the presence of Godzilla himself because of how tall Mechagodzilla is! Asaka took us to a waiting room for us to wait as she sat down with us. [Me] “<What are we doing here..Asaka?>” [Asaka] “<This is like a safe room. To keep yourselves safe from those things and until we deal with them.>” Jasmine was watching us talk before she looked around the room for the moment and to check it out, setting her spear down. [Me] “<Well this room doesn’t have a bathroom. Do you know where the nearest bathroom is?>” Asaka opened the door and pointed down the hall. [Asaka] “2nd door on your right.>” [Me] “<Thanks dear- I mean Asaka!>” I quickly walked out of there before she had time to react and she blushed in reaction.

As I walk towards the bathroom door, I notice a door left open with the words “VIP Only” in Japanese and warning labels as well. Unlike me, I didn’t listen to the warning labels and walked right in. Soon, I discover a room not only full of files but documents containing information about something but what? I notice a wall full of cave paints that describe Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and the world ender himself, Ghidorah! Other monsters were described as well. Like how Manda could be related to the basilisk. Anyways, I walked past all of this important information and continued onwards towards another door with glowing lights. I soon noticed that these glowing lights weren’t party lights. Glowing tubes were attached to what looked like a large jar with a brain inside! But whose brain is it? I walked forward to get a closer look at the label on the brain in a jar and wiped the dust off. The label said “Hedorah’s Secondary Brain”! I backed up. That giant mud monster?? But didn’t Godzilla rip her brain out?? [Ishiro] “<You’re not supposed to be here.>” I let out a little scream before noticing it was Ishiro Serizawa. [Me] “<Oh..I know that but..Didn’t that thing die? Didn’t Godzilla pull out her brain and she died?! That brain looked dead when Godzilla pulled it out!>” I pointed at the brain in the jar, shouting at Ishiro. [Ishiro] “<We discovered Hedorah had a secondary brain when we recovered the body. But it wasn’t powerful enough to bring her back to life but we soon realized that every monster so far, had secondary brains. Because they were large in size and one brain wasn’t strong enough to support just about..everything they need in order for nature to survive. Nature has its way on surviving and I believe that these monsters like Godzilla are their answer.>” Ishiro explained. [Me] “<But what is this powering?! Why use it for your own twisted ways?>” I asked before walking to the calm Ishiro. [Ishiro] “<It’s the main source of power for Project Kiryu. That and kinetic energy we discovered in Godzilla’s home.>” [Me] “<That’s why Godzilla is appearing again. You and the ASI invaded his home. His home land and world without permission and now, he’s taking it out on you. You forced Godzilla out and now he’s going to force you out of your own home. He left us in peace but like humanity, we keep doing bad things and hope we can get away with it but that all changed when Godzilla reappear since his appearance 2 years ago.>” [Ishiro] “<Guards!>” Two ASI soldiers walked in and grabbed me by the arms. [Ishiro] “<Take him back to the waiting room.>” [ASI Soldier 1] “<Yes sir.>” They began to escort me back to the waiting room as Ishiro looked at Hedorah’s secondary brain just floating in a large jar.
