Godzilla Against All: Part 1

Chapter 7: Rebirth

November, 2017

Arctic Circle, Northern Canada

"Gojira."

Godzilla looks up from the snow, investigating the source of the voice, but he cannot find any.

"You can't become so weak in the face of death." the voice calls, but with no clear location, almost as if it's within his own mind. "Especially during a fight. You need to remain strong....besides, do you honestly think I'm so easy to kill?"

"Mothra?" Gojira asks, looking down at the pile of ash that held that name.

"Who else could communicate psychically with you?"

"You survived?" Godzilla says with a mixture of happiness and confusion.

"Of course I did," Mothra replies, "Brush the ash aside and you will see."

Godzilla reaches his hand into the ash pile, delicately dusting it away, inside the pile he finds an egg, no bigger than his hand and decorated with blue and yellow stripes. He picks up the egg and smiles briefly, then he frowns again.

"I'm so sorry." Godzilla says softly.

"You have nothing to be sorry for Goji, I leapt in front of your attack, it was entirely my doing." Mothra replies.

"I mean that I'm sorry for losing control like that."

"Yes, well, we'll have to work on that I suppose." Mothra says.

There is a moment of silence between the two MUTOs, but after a minute Godzilla speaks again, "I guess we should go home, you're in no state to travel to New York."

"I suppose you're right. It is unfortunate but we will have to postpone our visit."

"Right then." Godzilla speaks aloud again. "Let's hit the trail. Anguirus," He says looking back at the spiny lizard, "You should come with us."

"Us?" Anguirus asks with confusion, "You mean that egg?"

"I'll explain everything when we get to my home, for now, travel with us, at least for safety, we have no idea where the Ghidrah went or if he'll be back anytime soon." Godzilla says.

"I guess you're right," Anguirus replies, "...still don't know what's going on with you though."

"Just follow me." The King of the Monsters says.

At that, Godzilla begins to trudge forward in the snow, back towards the west where he came from, careful to hold the egg containing Mothra close at his side; Anguirus follows a short distance behind.

December, 2017

Unnamed Pacific Island

Godzilla arrives on his Pacific island home a short time after departing the arctic circle and scene of Varan's death from battling King Ghidorah. In his hand, clutched close to his chest, is the egg of the reborn Mothra. It is midday on the island, and Godzilla collapses onto the warm sand (of course careful to keep the egg from harm), exhausted from his days of travelling in the icy north. Anguirus emerges from the water behind him.

"Well then Gojira? Care to explain exactly what's going on with you?" he says.

"I will answer any questions you have of course, however, first I have one of my own." The King of the Monsters replies.

"Alright, go ahead then." Anguirus replies.

"Well, a couple of questions really. What happened to you? You disappeared and I thought you had died."
