The sun was gone now, leaving Godzilla with the moon. Gojiran had laid with him almost until then but left shortly after. He wasn't lonely without her, but some strange feeling; a desire for connection itched at the back of his mind. He shook it off, and it was gone. He still was lying on the beach, almost like a crocodile, not moving aside from his deep breaths and exhales. Completely at ease.

And yet, peace was never something that lasted long for Godzilla.

A bang like from an air soft gun was heard, before a chain soaring through the air followed, and two hooks pierced Godzilla's side. He roared in shock at the penetration and groaned as he felt his blood being drained. Looking at his side, he saw the hooks, then followed the chains up to the source, and was admittedly surprised when he saw who it was.
"Hello, Beastie, Miss Me?~" Gigan said in an... oddly sensual voice, which appalled Godzilla, not that he knew what it entailed. With a flick of the former's wrist, the hooks dislodged themselves from Godzilla and retracted into her gauntlet, making the latter roar in fury. "Calm down, Beastie, we'll spar in just a moment.~" She tapped the side of her visor and said, "DNA sample of the beast has been acquired, you finish this job Megalon and we get home the same day." A harsh shushing came from the other end Megalon.

Speaking of the Seatopian, she had located Gojiran's hut and crept as quietly as her heavy armor could let her. The Queen of the Monsters though was as dead as a log in sleep, her snoring being slightly audible. Megalon wondered how to approach this, Gojiran was under the sheets and she wanted a good shot of her veins, maybe she could "inadvertently" slit her wrists. Nah, that'd piss Gidrah off, and frankly, that was Gigan's job.
   Megalon was often teased about being a lap dog of Gidrah; wrapped around her finger and eating out of her palm. She'd often deny the allegations and say she could rebel, but every chance Gigan took she'd step back from it.
She wanted to appeal to her friend with at least one heinous act against Gidrah, and considering her usual loyalty, she imagined the punishment wouldn't be too harsh. Walking around the bed, Megalon was mostly focused on the sleeping form of Gojiran but stopped as she saw a... baby's cradle.

"How peculiar..." the Seatopian mulled, her ADHD all but forgetting Gojiran for this much more curious sight. Slowly looking into it, Megalon saw a small plump body, under a singular thin blanket, sleeping as soundly as the mother. A little Gojiran. Megalon's eyes lit up with a new idea. What if instead of killing Gojiran and getting the blood sample, she brought Gidrah a new little pet?
Slowly and gently, after she set her drills aside, she tenderly scooped the baby into her arms. While the infant stirred, with a whimper, fortunately, it didn't cry. Megalon looked back, and Gojiran still was dead to the world, making the former smirk before walking as fast and quietly out, then flying to meet Gigan, only to see a beam of blue light beacon into the air.

Gigan was thrown and spiraled across the ground, before getting up, dusting her suit off, and had a big smile on her face.
"Heh, you've gotten MUCH stronger!" She said, before charging at Godzilla, who met her speed and the two collided, the former being shoved back effortlessly. Gigan laughed maniacally, slashing at Godzilla's sides and doing nothing but causing shallow scratches. Looking into his eyes, Gigan fired a gigarium cluster from her visor at the King of the Monsters' face and left minor burns, before she kicked her boot into his gut. Godzilla groaned as the point dug into him, but he grabbed her leg and swung her around before tossing her into a mountain, and quickly followed this up by crashing his full weight into her, earning him a grunt.
Still, she didn't seem to feel pain, as Godzilla grabbed her throat and slashed her gut open, it quickly healed. And she seemed still as energetic as possible; like she had infinite stamina. Either way, they were going back and forth, with Gigan taking note that Godzilla was getting better at reacting to her greater speed, and was getting stronger with his attacks. It excited her to see how he'd react to her upgrades, not only that but his space clone, whenever that came to be. Gigan hoped it was as strong as Godzilla because that would mean she could train with something worthwhile.
Claws and blades clashed, and both cut each other, with Godzilla then latching his jaws onto Gigan's neck and picking her up into the air before slamming her down. While she was downed, Godzilla grabbed her sides, lifted her, and planted her head into the ground like he was putting up a sign. Before he could hit her a third time, the claw at the end of her claw grabbed Godzilla by the head, and she said somberly "Good night, Beastie." before he felt his skull and brain be punctured by a retractable spike.
