Episode 9: Launch or Die Part 1

## Godzilla: Hotlines S3 Ep9: Launch Or Die Part 1

Godzilla: Hotlines S3 Ep9 is the first part of the season's finale! As Mothra and Battra were battling to the death, it seems that Mechagodzilla was completely controlled by none other then the spirits of Hedorah!!

## Plot

Logos played as the black screen turned to smoke then revealed the fallen Jet Jaguar. Then the smoke revealed Mechagodzilla! Without relying on a pilot, Mechagodzilla was now controlled by the spirit of Hedorah as it snorted and flew up! Meanwhile on the surface, Battra and Mothra were flying towards each other with open arms and open jaws. Roaring at each other until Mechagodzilla broke the ground below them and flew between them! Knocking back both creatures. Mechagodzilla landed as it was breathing smoke. It gave off a creepy vibe as it slowly turned to Battra first. Then Mothra. Both creatures were staring at it in confusion as Mechagodzilla slowly arose once more. Mechagodzilla roared then fired OM missiles at them! Mothra was the first one to be knocked down as Battra flew towards Mechagodzilla, smacking the OM missiles out of the way! Mechagodzilla ran towards Battra and grabbed him by the neck! Battra flapped its wings on Mechagodzilla before he fired his purple energy blasts! However, while he didn’t have control over the energy blasts, some of them were hiding Mechagodzilla until Mothra tackled both creatures! Mechagodzilla kicked Mothra off as it stood back up and opened its mouth. However, Mothra used her silk to try and cover its mouth but soon a ton of smoke was released from the mecha’s mouth! Mothra covered her eyes with her wings as the smoke covered her vision from the two beasts!

Back with Ishiro and the gang, they slowly walked out as they noticed the damage above. [Ishiro] “<Oh my god.>” (Translated from Japanese) [Kim] “<Looks!>” Kim said as he pointed at the nearby Matangos looking down and seeing humans! They roared as they jumped down! However, when they landed, they were killed due to the high heights but that didn’t stop the rest from trying. Everyone was slightly confused as they were watching Matangos fall from the hole and ending up dead once they landed. [Asaka] “<Maybe..we don’t have anything to worry about.>” [Jasmine] “<Evil!>” She pointed at the falling Matangos as Kim, Ishiro, and Asaka looked at her then back at the Matangos. Some of them were..walking! The dead ones created a cushion for the other ones to safely land! Once one of the Matangos landed safely on the bodies, it roared in the air as others soon joined them! Everyone panicked once more! The base was being overrun by Matangos! Ishiro, Kim, Asaka, and Jasmine all stayed together as they ran deeper into the base! Asaka looked back and noticed a few of them chasing them! She opened fire, shooting their heads. Then they locked themselves in Ishiro’s office as they breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe..for now. Ishiro looked at the remaining working cameras as all he heard were the screams of the remaining ASI crew and the Matangos. Some fought back, some ran, and others..didn’t make it. Asaka turned the audio off. [Asaka] “<Let’s find a way to get out of here, hm?>” Dr. Ishiro nodded as he turned away from the cameras. He sat down with the rest as they thought of a clever way to escape this hellish scap. Kim stood up and looked at the cameras. He then clicked through them, trying to not look at the horrors on the screen. [Kim] “<Dr. Ishiro. Do you have a map of this base?>” He looked at him as Ishiro nodded his head. He opened a cabinet and placed the map across the floor. [Ishiro] “<We’re right here. And this is where we store Mechagodzilla.>” [Kim] “Yes. If we can make it here->” He pointed at the exit door. [Kim] “<-We can escape and hopefully make it out alive! Who’s with me!>” [Jasmine] “<Me.>” [Asaka] “<Me!>” [Ishiro] “<It’s a solid plan but a fair one. I’m in! But before we do that, we should hit the armory next door. To protect ourselves.>” [Kim] “<Why of course!>” Kim opened the door slowly and looked both ways. [Kim] “<We’re clear.>” He whispered as the others followed Ishiro quietly. He pressed the code as the door unlocked and revealed walls covered in weapons! Ishiro closed the door behind him and it locked. Jasmine grabbed the ASI spear that was laying on the wall, swinging it around like she was back at home. [Jasmine] “<This work.>” [Kim] “<Mhm! It suits you!>” Kim said as he grabbed a gun and an axe. Asaka grabbed two pistols while Ishiro grabbed some guns as well. [Ishiro] “<Alright, let’s go!>” [Kim, Jasmine, Asaka] “<Yeah!>”

Meanwhile back on the surface, Mechagodzilla smacked the incoming Mothra and Battra hopped on its back, stabbing it with his claws! Mechagodzilla roared in pain as he grabbed Battra and threw him down! Mechagodzilla was gonna stomp on Battra until Mothra stabbed it in the hips! Mechagodzilla turned to Mothra and smacked her across the face! She flew until she hit some buildings. Mechagodzilla ran to Mothra and stabbed her with his tail! She screeched in pain as Battra slowly got up and noticed what happened. He used his Larva Horn which damaged Mechagodzilla! He got Mechagodzilla’s attention as the beast used his Larva Horn again but Mechagodzilla used his Omega Beam! It counter attacked with Battra’s Larva Horn as he was losing again. Mechagodzilla’s Omega Beam destroyed Battra's Larva Horn as it pushed him back! Damaging his tough skin as Mechagodzilla walked towards him. This mecha was too powerful for Battra and Mothra alone! Battra watched as Mechagodzilla got closer each step then stepped on his stomach, crushing his organs as he roared in his face. Then Mechagodzilla heard a familiar roar in the distance. Its eyes opened up to see that Godzilla himself had arrived on the scene! Just moments before Battra’s death! Godzilla snarled as Mechagodzilla growled at him. Godzilla could see that it was being processed by the kaiju he once killed, Hedorah! Godzilla roared once more as he ran towards him, so did Mechagodzilla! Soon, the two creatures would eventually clash! To be continued. Next episode is Godzilla: Hotlines S3 Ep10: Launch Or Die Part 2
