Mothra met Godzilla at his cave. "Godzilla, how do you know who the Vortaak were?" she asked. Godzilla sighed. "I was under their control countless years ago." he said. "What happened before then?" she asked. Godzilla began to explain his life before falling under the Vortaak's control.

"I was a happy father. Godzilla jr was a week old. And back then, I wasn't single. I had a lovely mate, who's name I forgot over the years." he said, "One day, King Ghidorah arrived on Earth." Mothra interrupted him. "King Ghidorah?" she asked. "Yes. He sought to kill me, my mate, and my son. Me and my mate fought Ghidorah hard. I refused to let our son get killed." Godzilla explained. A tear rolled down his face. "Then, I lost my strength, and I fell to the ground. The last thing I saw before blacking out, and King Ghidorah..." he said. 3 more tears rolled down his face. "He ate her." Godzilla choked out. That was when Mothra noticed a huge scar on Godzilla's chest. "What's that?" she asked. Godzilla looked down at the scar. It was 3 bite marks. "I woke up with those bite marks on my chest. I figured it was a warning that he would come back. The first thing I did, was rush into my old home. It was a mess. I was worried my son died. But then, I saw him in tact." Godzilla said. Mothra put her arm on Godzilla's shoulder. "Some time after my mate's death, I fell under the control of the Vortaak." he added. He then pointed to where his right eye used to be. "When I broke free, Anguirus was sent down to kill me. He was only able to scratch out my right eye before I dispatched him with my atomic breath." Godzilla said. Godzilla took a deep breath. "Then, me and Anguirus became the best of friends. He taught me Russian, and I taught him English." Godzilla continued. "Wait so, if he understands English, then why does he speak Russian all the time?" Mothra asked. "He prefers to speak his native language than English." Godzilla replied. Godzilla sighed. "You don't have to continue if you don't want to." she said. "I'd rather you knew." Godzilla insisted. Then, he continued on. "Rodan was the toughest I ever faced. At first, he was nothing more than a gigantic pteranodon. Our first fight ended with me throwing him into the Pacific Ocean. While I was resting from our fight, Rodan was struck by lightning. It revived him, and he was tougher to defeat." Godzilla explained, "He could fire a uranium heat ray, and could fly. At some point, I was down on the ground. Before he could kill me, Anguirus barreled into him. Then, we joined forces, and together, Rodan was taken down. Ever since then, Rodan helped me and Anguirus. He learned Russian. And we always waited for when Earth was in peril."

Mothra understood Godzilla fully now. She understood his conflicts, and why he was a hardened soldier. But there was one thing she didn't understand. "How were you able to raise your son?" she asked. "It was tough. He's still a baby, so I still don't blame him. He's growing, and can finally sleep through the night without me needing to go to him, and sing him to sleep." Godzilla said. Then, he realized he said something he shouldn't have. "You 'sing' your son to sleep?" Mothra asked. Godzilla's deepest darkest secret was revealed. "Please don't tell anyone." Godzilla said. Mothra gave Godzilla a kiss. "Why would I embarrass you?" she asked. Godzilla chuckled, and they hugged. They waved goodbye for the night, and Mothra left.
