TITANS 2150.4 - The Last Empire (Disney Monster Universe Phase 2)

Chapter 5 - Call for War

On the main aircraft carrier of the Ahtohallan surveillance fleet, Godzilla's departure had not gone unnoticed and already, Henri Serizawa and James Possible had come as quickly as possible to the monitor room, looking at the screen which indicated Godzilla's vital and cerebral functions.

_"Godzilla's heart rate has suddenly accelerated and his adrenaline level is at an all-time high." indicated the operator responsible for monitoring.

_"Something really made him angry and we all know that when Godzilla moves, it's never for nothing." whispered Serizawa. "If he's this angry, we need to prepare for the worst."

_"Where is Godzilla now?" James then asked, turning to the operators sitting in front of the radar screens.

_"He is swimming straight towards the south, everything indicates that he is heading towards the Strait of Gilbraltar." one of the agents said, looking at the screen. "As for Elsa... She's heading straight towards us!"

_"Don't shoot, I repeat, no shots!" Serizawa ordered quickly. "Elsa can probably tell us what's going on, if at least she's in the mood to trust us, which isn't easy after all the drama medias have made about Rome."

The Monarch shuttle, after a perfect aerial maneuver, had landed on the main deck of the aircraft carrier, letting out the Doctor Ann Possible who, without wasting time, headed towards the main quarters of the ship, guided by a soldier. Although having been warned of her arrival, Henri and James could not hide their perplexity at seeing Ann arrive in the control room.

_"Honey, what are you doing here? I thought you were going back to the Middleton complex." James asked.

_"It's Jia." Ann replied bluntly, clearly showing great concern in her eyes. "For some time now she has been acting strangely, but now i'm sure, this is more serious than I could have imagined, and I think it has something to do with Godzilla waking up."

_"What do you mean? Explain yourself, you scare me." James asked, concerned now knowing that their adopted daughter was in trouble.

Ann opened her briefcase and took out of a folder the printed sheets showing the abnormal seismic readings recorded in Hollow Earth, then the drawings made by Jia during her trance at school and showed them to James and Serizawa who came to take a look.

_"These are seismic readings recorded in Kong territory three days ago, and these are drawings that Jia made, according to what she told me, while being victims of visions. Look closely."

The two men took a careful look and the obvious immediately jumped out at them.

_"The curves are... exactly the same, to the nearest millimeter." whispered Henri, more than perplexed.

_"That's not all." Ann added. "Jia keeps seeing titans in her visions, events she doesn't understand. She tells me she hears something constantly calling to her in her head."

_"I... But who is calling for her? It makes no sense." James said.

_"I think Ann is right." Serizawa intervened, showing the seismic curves better. "Look, the interval between each hit is way too precise for it to be natural. It's almost like... a signal. And I won't be at all surprised if Godzilla and Elsa felt it Also."

That last sentence left Ann and James even more confused than before. A signal coming from the depths of the Hollow Earth?

_"But the questions are : what is making this signal? Or who? And for what?" Serizawa added thoughtfully.

Ann liked this matter less and less, especially knowing that her adopted daughter was involved and knowing Godzilla was awake and looking visibly angry was not to reassure her. Really worrying about her daughter, Ann took the files back and put them in her briefcase.
