"Well...this is interesting..."

A voice in the darkness spoke to (Y/N) in the void of his mind, he spoke with a deep and rough voice but one that also seemed intelligent and wise. The parasite merely huffed and crossed his arms, between almost dying and getting used to his 'adaptations'...he wasn't in a very good mood

"I'll say"

The voice then spoke again, "Can't say I was expected to be stuck with one of you"

This... this got (Y/N)'s attention, "One of you?" (Y/N) asked.

"A...uh..." His internal companion slurred, "What did you call yourselves again?"

"Human?" (Y/N) answered, "I'm not even human"

The voice then scoffed, "Well that explains how you can handle the strain of having two minds in your head"

(Y/N) frowned, he was growing more and more confused by the moment

"So...who or what are you?" He asked

"Don't tell me you humans don't remember me? I'm almost hurt", the voice responded with a tone that almost sounded like an attempt at humor. "You wouldn't happen to know what year it is by any chance?"

(Y/N) squinted his eyes in confusion before answering his 'companion', "It's 2137"

The voice then growled to itself deeply. But whether in confusion or frustration, (Y/N) couldn't tell

"So I've been gone longer than I thought"

(Y/N) then interrupted the voice, "You still haven't answered my question. Who are you?"

The voice growled again, this time sounding more like some kind of animal

"You're not like the rest of your kind, are you kid?" The voice poked again, almost condescending in a way

(Y/N) scowled and thrashed his tail, not even realizing his spikes began to flare a light-blue color. The voice chuckled again, but not in a way that was condescending, it felt more like he was impressed.

"You've got some balls, kid!" He laughed, "Alright...I'll humor you"

(Y/N)'s shoulders relaxed and his glow faded as the voice began again

"Your kind has given me many names over the time you've known of my existence..."

Suddenly, a colossal form began to appear from the void in front of (Y/N), the source of the voice. A large bipedal reptile that (Y/N) could only see the head and upper body of. He was clad with scales and dorsal spines running down his back...he felt familiar

"But you can call me..."

"Gojira..."

As Hiro and Ichigo walked down the hall past automatic doors, the sound of something pounding against and tearing apart metal became louder and louder.

Was he still down here?

It had been about 3 weeks since (Y/N) woke up and the kaiju attacks had suddenly ceased almost completely. APE wanted to test (Y/N)'s capabilities, he couldn't turn into a kaiju again, but his physical capabilities had increased tenfold. And yet, it wasn't enough for them. They kept pushing him, barely even letting him rest. They could count the number of times (Y/N) had returned to the boarding house in the past 3 weeks with one hand. Ichigo hated how they treated (Y/N) like an experiment, and she wasn't alone in this train of thought. Everyone in Squad 13 was angered by their comrades' treatment, it was one of the first times Ichigo could say she and Zero Two agreed on something

As they turned the corner, they saw Zero Two staring into a room through a glass panel with a concerned look on her face. This was one of the combat rooms the higher-ups had set up to test (Y/N)'s combat prowess.
