So. . . Godzilla had a weird dream. At least, he hopes it was all a dream. He had been kidnapped by other Godzillas. . . then was brought to what was the leader who turned out be his mother. . . It must have been a dream, or so what the King of Monster thought to himself as he kept his eyes shut where he lay.

Of course, realistically, he won't find out if it was a dream or not just laying where he was. So, reluctantly, he opened his eyes and saw the oceanic life swimming to and fro without a care. He glanced up and noted the sun being overhead meaning it was day.

With a bit of effort on his part he pushed off of the ocean floor and took to the surface, although at his own pace. He doesn't want to rush it.

When he finally breached, he snorted the water out of his nostril and glanced at the shore. It was still the unfamiliar land and scent; and there was also the fact the huge amount of Saurians going about their business inland or on the beach.

So it wasn't a dream. He had. . . severely hoped it was.

Godzilla then waded near the shore, careful to keep to the level that allows only the top of his head to show. His eyes drank in the Saurians as they roam about doing. . . heavens knows what! The ones wearing armor were just standing guard while acting like sentry. The other younger adolescents and some what looks like to be females were dragging in fresh kills of whales onto shore.

It was. . . too surreal even for the King of Monster.

His eyes traveled over the shore until he spotted a familiar sort waving at him gleefully while standing next to a whale's corpse. It was the blue one, Kasai, who she and her brother apprehended him.

"Hey! Good morning!" She called out, causing the Saurians near her to glance at whoever she was talking to. Furos was nearby, who immediately snorted when he sighted Godzilla's head. The King couldn't help but responded in kind, spouting water from his nostrils in an angry display.

"Oi!" Kasai called from the shore, happily bouncing on her feet. "Kuin! Your son is back!" The blue Kaiju immediately stormed as she repeated the call.

Godzilla sighed, knowing that his presence has been made known. Not going to hide like a coward, he stepped out of the sea. Suddenly, it all became quiet as all Saurians of different variety began to stop what they were doing to glance the King.

Some of them had a guarded expression, especially the ones with the armor; while others were more or less whispering in excited hush. He could hear a sliver of what they were saying, but he knows what the topic was:

"Look, it's him."

"Is he really Kuin's son?"

"I don't believe it!"

"Look at all that scar."

"Eh, he doesn't look so tough."

He ignored them all as he stomped past them, his scowl still in place on his face. He saw Daku out of the corner of his eyes, and chose this moment to give him a small glare before moving on. As he walked farther and farther away from the sea, more of the Saurus began to surround him from behind to trail after him, the ones in front parted ways to allow him to get his destination.

Finally, after a while of awkwardly stomping through, he finally came to cave entrance where he met his. . . "Mother."

And speaking of the devil, Kuin was waiting nearby the entrance with a happy Kasai bouncing in excitement. Ignoring the blue one, he focused immediately on Kuin who stood as tall as any proud royal would, a leader. But her eyes gave away the true turmoil she's suffering.

In Kuin's own perspective, she watched as the newcomer to her land approaches her warily, his eyes darting to and fro as he observe her and her people. His face sneered at everything around him, and her as well. He was afraid.

Kuin was afraid, too - nervous, perhaps, about how this meeting with her son would turn out. Their first meeting didn't go so well, actually, so she hopes the second time would be the charm.

When she saw him coming up the shore, she had initially mistaken him as his father since he has his fiery glare whenever he is being guarded or approaching an enemy. She winced, thinking that her son would view her as an enemy. Hopefully, that would change.

When he stood before her, she resisted the urge to sprung forward and nuzzle him. She pushed down that desire in hopes to gain his trust first.

"Welcome back, my son." She greeted Godzilla, her facial expression was set to convey a warm welcome.

Godzilla only snarled lowly but still remained quiet. Kuin's resolve was nearly shaken at that, but she pressed on.

"I. . . know that you don't know me or believe me of what I am about to say," She calmly said as she stepped forward. "I am your mother. Oh, Goji. I'd thought I had lost you and your father. Thank, Krama, you're alive."

Godzilla only looked perturbed at the name; Goji? That's the name of her son? Is that his name? He shook his head to clear the thought for he knows his own name and it's not Goji.

Kuin stepped even more closer, daring fate just to embrace her son again. Already the scent she remembered long ago fills her nostrils as she neared. Long ago memories that was kept in her heart resurfaced and threatened her eyes to spill tears.

Godzilla noticed her proximity and stepped back, snarling at her. Not wishing to destroy whatever amount of trust she has with her son, she stepped back; but the pain in heart doubled at his snarl.

"Please," She begged. "Stay here with us. We mean you no harm." She then gestured to all the surrounding Saurians, directing Godzilla's attention to the crowd that surround him. "You're welcome to be among us."

Godzilla only glanced at the crowd, then at Kuin. He contemplated the offer. This world, wherever this was, was filled with Kaiju's without a single human in sight. He couldn't tell if that was blessing or some sort of damnation for him. His instinct flared at the amount of Kaiju in the vicinity. His years of fighting other giant Kaiju has all his nerves on the fritz. But then, he's curious about them. These were Saurians like him, and the more he thought about it, the more he wants to know.

Although, the leader named Kuin saying he's her son is delusional. . . or is she? Father never mentioned his mother, nor did he had the time to. It was all about survival back then and him learning to inherit his father's role as a guardian of Earth.

For all he knows, this could really be his mother. If so, he needs to stay to investigate. But he can't stay among them, but not far from them.

Kuin was waiting for his reply when he suddenly turned and walked back to the shore. The crowded parted to avoid him, but Kuin followed, desperation setting in. "Goji! Please stay! We can get you a cave to sleep in! I know this hard to believe, Goji, but I am your mother-"

"Godzilla!" He roared, standing still on the beach with Kuin behind him.

Kuin paused in shock, gawking at the back of her son as he stood still on the sandy beach, the waves of water, splashing gently at his feet. Kuin didn't know what surprised her the most. Was it his sudden speaking or the name he uttered.

The other Saurians, mostly the older ones, were all wide eyes at what he had said. The younger ones were all confused at their reaction and the odd name he had spoken.

Kuin asked, "W-what?"

Slowly, her son turned around and said to her face, "My. . . name. . . Is . . . Godzilla." With that said, he turned back to the ocean and waded out to the open sea. He dove under the waters, disappearing from sight.

Kuin stood by the shore as her mind was recuperating from the shock. . . and the joy she felt. "I knew it. . . you are my son."
