"It was supposed to be a normal Wednesday morning, wake up, get ready for school, eat breakfast and head off to school. What went so wrong?"

Flashes of light, the loud sounds of the windows breaking as people covered head to toe in kevlar armed with fully automatic weapons breached the house.

Not military no, it was easy to tell with them. Monarch? No, they never did those and always focused with the titans.

Gunfire, father going down to shield his youngest. The amount of bullets killing them both.

Mother going down, several items of furniture on top of her.

The eldest child, no younger than a preteen, alive and unharmed minus bruises and cuts, unconscious and taken by the assailants.

What would they need her for?

An experiment.

To make her into a Titan, like the ones that roam the earth now. Keeping a balance to the planet and restoring its ecosystem. After years of conflict, humans once again coexist with them in peace.

But not with the DNA of a real titan, but the false Titan, the false king. Ghidorah, the golden dragon. The false king of the monsters who fell to the true King reclaiming his throne.

Though despite the DNA used from the remains, she didn't change to fit their King. Her body changed to look more like the true king, Godzilla, King of the Monsters.

While two years pass and the girl knows two things-

One; her captors would be more than hesitant to kill her due to not wanting to waste any chance to bring back their Ghidorah and his DNA used to change her.

And two; she had lost what strength to live but still had to force herself to keep pushing.

"Oh yeah, that's how it all went so wrong."

Rue had spent most of her life like any other preteen; wake up for school, help get her sister reader for school as well get herself ready, eat breakfast with her family, take her sister and herself to their respective schools, come home from school with her sister, get her homework done, watch and spend time with her little sister while their parents get finished up with work, have dinner, more chillax time, then bedtime

Then it changed when one normal Wednesday morning led to the deaths of her father and little sister, the unknown fate of her mother and her kidnapping by Alan Johan and his group of mercenaries

Rue was experimented on for the past two years by his group using one of the two remains heads of Ghidorah in hopes they're false king can return

But a month after the second year of being captive and the test of her roar, the answer of her call comes the true King

Godzilla
King of the Monsters

Now Rue has a new path in front of her that lets her live, and it all started with her call being answered

"A titans roar is a signal to all titans, whether a challenge to the alpha and king, a command by the king, a warning cry, and in some cases an orphan calling for aid or a child crying for their parents."

All it took was a roar, and her call was answered by the king

"

Rue swam through the chilling waters of the Pacific, her tail swinging behind her to propel her through the water.

If not requiring to breathe with her changes wasn't a bonus, she was barely affected by the cold waters.

Rue quickly moved to the side allowing Godzilla to swim past her quickly.

"Hey it's not a race!" She called out to him as she used her palms Atomic Breath to help her catch up to the king to find him letting growls similar to a throaty chuckle as he slowed down so she didn't need her Atomic Breath to catch up.

"Oi! Up and at em brat!" Rue let out a growl as she rubbed her eyes the best she could without poking her eyes out with her claws as she woke up.

A tray of food from an MRE was slid through her cell door. "Your in luck boss is in a good mood and gave you that." With that the guard went to talk to one of his lackeys.

Rue shook her blonde hair to fix it before she got off the mat off the floor and grabbed the tray, using her claws to pick out the meat of the MRE meal to eat first.

She really didn't get hungry as she used to anymore, it wasn't for a lack of eating but rather what she was now. She barely felt the rumbling of her stomach anymore. Rue remembered from a book she read years ago that the titans would feed off of radiation as a food source and heal off of it, so she figured that was it for her.

Though despite that knowledge it didn't seem the scientists here didn't know that or cared to, a lot of radiation a Titan would give off on a constant basis with being alive though with Rue she only had slight radiation level but it was low enough it wasn't harmful.

Rue pushed through the uncomfortableness of eating to eat the meat then in the similar sense of a pet eating their food began to eat the rice she had picked the meat out of from the chicken fried rice. It wasn't like she could use a fork or spoon to eat it, with her claws it made it near impossible to get a grip on them.

Once she finished her meal she let the plastic bowl land on the tray with a clatter while picking up the plastic cup of water and greedily drinking its contents up. While she felt uncomfortable with eating human food to a certain degree (or that could've been the fact it was long expired MRE's she had to force herself to eat, if MRE's could expire, the ones she ate definitely didn't feel okay to eat even if she was still human) drinking water just felt like a bit of peace.

Rue finished drinking the water till there wasn't a single drop left and placed it on the tray which she then pushed through the cell door where it came from and crawled back to the mat on the floor. She laid down on her side, putting her head on her arms and letting her tail curl around her like a shield.

Rue just stared at the wall for a couple of minutes to wait for the tests. It wasn't the best thing to keep her occupied but it was better than nothing. Thankfully enough it wasn't a long wait as after a few minutes later the cell door opened revealing four guards and two scientists.

Rue pushed herself to sit before standing up. She easily towered them with the alterations causing her growth to skyrocket especially her height.

Two of the guards came over and hooked her up with a shock collar and chain. Once those were secured the slight tug on the chain from one of the guards signaled her to follow them which Rue did so.

While Ghidorah was known for absorbing electricity from lightning bolts that its storms would summon or even from biting down on a grid system and sucking the power from an entire city's power grid it didn't make it less painful and uncomfortable for Rue to have to try to absorb it.

Rue glanced at her feet, ignoring the animals in cages around her as the guards and scientists led her to where her testing area was. 'Please no electrical tests, please no electrical tests, please please please no electrical tests. I hate those tests!' Rue practically begged in her head for some divine force from above.

One of the guards opened a card scan door as she was led in the testing room making her glance her eyes upwards seeing it had been set up in various sound equipment around and the lights to the room behind the bullet proof glass were off hiding the people behind it.

The scientist holding the leash led her to the center of the room where more mics were pointed at. "Stay there." The scientist told her making Rue do so while the scientist let go of her leash and went to the sidelines.

Rue glanced up briefly at the bulletproof glass as a snarl painted her lips showing the tips of sharp teeth for a brief second. She didn't even need to be able to see who it was to know the man behind the glass.

For her luck (or they didn't notice the snarl) the shock collar didn't go off making her look back at her clawed feet on the chilly concrete ground.

"Test number two hundred and thirty five, date is September twenty third, the year is two thousand and twenty two," The tests were the only way she kept tract of time at this point especially since the lab was constantly frigid since it was in the arctic (it didn't take much braincells to realize it with how constantly layered everyone was in winter clothing and the amount of heaters) didn't show a seasons change.

"Today's test: The Titan's roar." Rue's ears perked slightly at that. This was definitely a new test, other times it was to test either her durability or powers Ghidorah had.

She remembered the infamous Battle of San Francisco as well as any person did alongside the Battle of Los Angeles with the titans, probably didn't help that she experienced both of them, the Los Angeles as a toddler and the San Francisco just months before she was taken with her little sister.

The test reminded her how Ghidorah was able to control the titans with ease with its roar to destroy everything around them.

'Oh this is gonna go crap I just know it.' Rue thought to herself in worry, she had a feeling if it was a pathetic roar she would be shocked.

Then she got an idea, 'Maybe this place isn't sound proof to Titan roars... Maybe I can-' Rue cut her thoughts off as she listened to the sounds of the scientist's powering on the equipment around her.

'What if it doesn't work? What if they don't hear me?' Rue worried in her head, her tail swaying slightly behind her across the ground.

Rue shut her eyes tight for a brief moment, 'It's better than waiting for people to come save me.' She decided in her head.

"Beginning Experiment Zero G's Titan Roar test," The scientist said after all the equipment was powered on. She hated that name they called her with a passion.

"All equipment is functional and running, begin the test," The main scientist looked at the glass then pressed a button on his remote.

"Now."

Rue took a big breath as much as her barely functioning lungs could take and roared.

The sound itself wasn't the best, it was weak and it's strength was faint. The roar had the echoing thrill as Ghidorah's, the shrieking of Godzilla's and the lively angelic thrill of Mothra's in one.

But for Rue's message it was enough to get hope sparked a bit.

When Rue finished her roar she coughed and wheezed heavily despite the lack of needing to breathe anymore. She wasn't used to using her vocal cords in so long especially in this form.

The sounds of equipment powering off rung in her ears.

"Well sir?" "Pathetic for her first roar."

Rue braced herself as a button was pressed activating the shock collar. The preteen fell to her knees and clawed palms with a screech similar to Ghidorah's in pain.

Rue roared again, at the man who made her like this, took her family from her and her from them, destroyed her humanity and made her a monster. The roar despite being full of rage held pain and fear, it's sound shaking the equipment in the room.

The roar finally stopped when the shock collar was turned off allowing Rue to slump to the floor.

Unfortunately for her she didn't stay on the floor as the leash to her collar was grabbed and yanked harshly by one of the guards forcing her to her feet as she was led back to the door to her cell.

Rue let out a low rumbling growl that felt worth the quick shock to the man behind her imprisonment when she passed him; Alan Johan.

Rue focused back on her feet as she followed the guard back to her cell.

"Help me."
"It hurts! Make it stop! It hurts! I want out! Free me!"

"Lora keep your voice down, you'll wake her." "She'll wake up anyways with the Kaiju hearing, it's amazing she can even sleep in this place Moll." "Both of you quit it with this beast." "Belivera!"

Rue grumbled a bit, a chuff of air leaving her mouth while her ears twitched at the voices.

"Belivera she's just a child!" "I don't care, you know what beast is in her DNA!" "That doesn't mean she's like it!" "She has the King of Terror's DNA in her! She could end planets at any second like it!"

'Okay that's it.' Rue thought to herself as she opened her eyes to see whoever these people were.

She expected to find people inside her feel with how loud it sounded within close proximity, what Rue didn't expect was to find three tiny Japanese girls in front of her.

The first two were twins, one in the color pallet of various light blues and the other with orange with some reds of their clothes. The other was slightly older than the two with black and dark violet purple as her color pallet in her clothes. The three's attires almost looked like fantasy royalty in a way.

"What on Earth?" Rue said in a hushed tone making the three shoot their heads to her. "Have I finally gone insane?"

The one in a series of blues approached her first. "Wow, I forget how resilient humans are even for the children. It's incredible you're still alive with all you've been through." She said in amazement. "Uhh, thanks?" Rue sorta asked, shifting a bit to rub her neck where she had bad sleep lines from the shock collar still around her neck. It was the only way the guards weren't on duty this time while she slept.

The one in various oranges and a few reds came to her twin. "My name is Moll, this is my twin Lora." She introduced herself and her sister then jestered to the slightly older girl approaching. "And that's our older sister Belivera." She introduced her older sister who had her arms crossed over her chest in annoyance. "Rue, I'm assuming I'm not finally gone batshit insane to make Joker sane in comparison." She asked after introducing yourself.

"Surprisingly." Belivera muttered making Lora send her older sister a pointed glare. "No, we're fairies, Priestesses to be specific." Moll answered her. Rue quickly pinched herself being mindful of the claws to make sure and when she felt pain she knew she wasn't dreaming either.

"Priestesses?" Rue asked as she tilted her head, blonde strands of hair falling like a golden curtain despite how matted they were (she could only have vainful attempts at brushing it with her claws but they could only do so much) as she did.

"Yes, Moll and I are Priestess' for the Goddess Queen, Belivera is the priestess of the God King." Lora explained making Rue raise a brow at that. "Goddess Queen and God King?" She asked. "Mothra and Godzilla." Belivera answered making Rue's purple eyes widen at that.

"Yup I've gone mad." Rue said as she buried her face in her arms.

"Then let me help." With that Belivera took her sword from her blade making her sister's rush to her side to hold their eldest sister back. "BELIVERA NO!" The two yelled as Rue shot her head back up.

Rue let out a low warning growl at her. "You want this beast to stay alive for the King of Terror to come back?" Belivera asked her sister's in disbelief. "She's just a child Belivera!" Lora yelled, "So?!"

"Alright listen here tiny," Rue growled with a huff as she leaned her face down close to the trio.

"You act like I asked for my home to be raided by these fuckers, the possibility of my family being killed by them and me to be turned into this freak of nature with Ghidorah's DNA for a possibility of them returning. News flash sweet heart, I never did. All I ever wanted was to at least get to run life growing up like normal, so if you want someone to blame for it talk to the bastard Alan Johan." She snapped at Belivera with her eyes narrowing and purple electricity crackling off her various fangs with her snarl.

With that Rue pulled back and buried her head into her arms once more.

The three fairy sisters were still and silent as they stared at the girl, even Belivera stopped struggling against her sister's restraints. "If you kill me at least make it swift, it's easy with this shit not to have a will to live." Rue said which was muffled as she had her face buried still.

Lora was the first to let go of her eldest sister's arm as she approached Rue and carefully set a hand on her tail making the blonde lift her head up enough for her eyes to peek over to look at her.

"You are very strong to have survived this far, you can't give up yet because even if you're not human anymore you still have a life ahead of you and we're gonna help." Lora told her making Rue raise a brow at the fairy.

"Lora but how?" Moll asked her twin sister as she let go of Belivera's arm which the eldest sheathed her sword. "Mothra isn't even close to hatching and she can't help especially with this area's climate and how weak she is in that form." Moll continued as she wondered what was going through her twins head.

Lora just smiled, "Who says it's Mothra I had in mind to help?" She asked as she turned her head to Belivera immediately the two got her idea.

"Oh no, oh no no no absolutely not!" Belivera shot down the idea her youngest sister had. "You are not making me summon the king to help this beast." She told her sister as her brows furrowed.

"Belivera, she's just a child." Lora told her sister. "She also has the Golden One's DNA in her! She's a threat!" Belivera shot back. "But that doesn't mean she will be, unlike Ghidorah she can be taught not to be like that, to protect the balance." Lora explained, leaving Rue's side and approaching her eldest sister and taking her hands in her's.

"Please Belivera, for me sister?" Lora begged pulling her best puppy dog eyes on his eldest sister. Belivera tried to look away but her sister kept her in place making her grumble under her breath through gritted teeth.

With a groan in annoyance she caved, "Alright alright I'll do it just stop with the eyes Lora!" Belivera whined making Lora smile brightly and proudly as she let go of Belivera's hands. "Works every time." She said proudly to herself as she skipped back to Rue making Moll roll her eyes in amusement at her twins.

Belivera huffed as Rue watched as she brought her hands to a prayer jester in front of her hands.

"Gojira, Gojira, tasuke o yobeba toki o koe, umi o koe, tsunami no yō ni, anata wa kurudeshou. Watashitachi no shugo-ō yo." Rue's ears perked at her singing, she could tell it was Japanese in an instant but she was surprised this was a way to summon Godzilla. 'Maybe it's something with the Priest role?' Rue thought to herself, one thing Rue knew was that Belivera was a beautiful singer.

"Gojira, Gojira, watashitachiha tasuke o motomenakereba narimasen,-ji o koe, umi o koete, marude tsunami no yō ni' taifū yo, kimi wa kurudarou, Gojira, ā, watashi ga tasuke o motometara, taifū no yō ni, kimi wa kurudarou." Belivera moved her arms as she sang the ancient chant, almost in a remnant of Godzilla's powerful swings of his claws while the skirts of her dress swayed almost like his powerful tail and the waves of water he would rise from.

"Michi mo  kōhaishita   kachikan  mo, watashi  wa  kono chikara no uta o  utainagara  hitobito no chūsei o  inorimasu , moshi watashi ga toki o koete, tsunami no  yō  ni tasuke o  motometara , anata  wa   yattekurudeshou !"

"Gojira, Gojira, tasuke o yobeba toki o koe, umi o koe, tsunami no yō ni, anata wa kurudeshou. Watashitachi no shugo-ō yo." Yellow eyes shot open at the familiar ancient chant.

Immediately the king's head rose up from his curled up form in his arms with his tail moving behind him.

"Gojira, Gojira,  watashitachiha  tasuke o  motomenakereba   narimasen ,- ji  o koe, umi o koete, marude tsunami no  yō  ni' taifū yo, kimi  wa   kurudarou , Gojira, ā, watashi ga tasuke o  motometara , taifū no  yō  ni, kimi  wa   kurudarou ."

The king was surprised, Belivera almost never used the chance unless it was absolutely necessary and that was very rare. The last time was two years ago when to help him locate The Golden One.

In an instant he pushed himself off the sea floor and quickly began to swim against the current with ease to the nearest wormhole to Hollow Earth to get to the area faster.

He wasn't as fast in his swimming in short times as Mothra was with her flying through the sky but with the wormholes and travel through Hollow Earth made up for that.

He knew where she was calling from, but it worried him since it was so close to where the Golden One has risen from two years ago.

'Never mind those worries now Gojira, the priestess needs your help.' With that thought he immediately dove into the wormhole.

"Michi mo  kōhaishita   kachikan  mo, watashi  wa  kono chikara no uta o  utainagara  hitobito no chūsei o  inorimasu , moshi watashi ga toki o koete, tsunami no  yō  ni tasuke o  motometara , anata  wa   yattekurudeshou !"

"Uh does anyone see Godzilla on the move like I am?" Sam asked aloud to the others. "Or am I just going crazy?" He added to it. "Nope I am seeing it too." Rick said as Mark immediately was standing behind him.

"Was another Titan near him?" He asked the two, "No he was actually asleep-" "Aaaaaaand I lost him, he went through a wormhole." Sam cut off Rick making him and Mark look at him in surprise.

"He might've heard something the sensors picked up despite how late the reaction is." Rick said as he went to another monitor as Mark followed his footsteps.

Rick typed away as he brought up the sensor file, "Sensors picked this up a couple of hours ago, though it's a weak signal it's definitely Titan." He explained as he pressed play allowing it to faintly play from his headphones which Mark listened to the other side not pressed against Rick's left ear (holding the left side to his right ear like a DJ would in movies).

The sound was faint but Mark was able to hear it. "It sounds like a roar, mixing up Ghidorah's with Godzilla's roar and a bit of Mothra's thrill." He said, trying to strain his hearing to hear it better.

In an instant Madison (who had been in the main command center room talking with Dr Chen) took the headphones from Rick and her father and placed them in her head to listen to it. "Madison-" The said brunette held a finger up in a one minute jester silencing her dad.

"What do you hear girl?" Rick asked her quietly after a minute. "... It sounds in pain, angry and scared but in pain." Madison said after a minute of listening. "Rick where did the source of this come from?" She asked the man as she took the headphones off and placed them on the desk.

"Hold on a minute and I shall answer that." Rick said as he went into the file details to find that.

Mark placed a hand on his daughter's shoulder making her look at him. "I thought I told you not to be a part of this stuff." He reprimanded his daughter making her huff. "Dad I'm already more aware of this stuff than you when mom always brought me along for Titan stuff, besides you know I want to help in Monarch." She explained though sounding evaporated of the time old argument she and her father would have.

"I would rather prefer you don't risk yourself with Monarch and Titans in general and have a normal life that doesn't get you killed like a normal teenage girl." Mark told her sounding stressed. Thankfully for the two the argument was cut short when Rick spoke.

"Alrighty, though it was faint the signal of that roar came from-" Rick cut himself off at registering what it said. "The antarctic?" Colonel Diane read aloud in almost a shocked tone.

"In specific, five miles from Ghidorah's old Monarch Outpost ruins." Rick confirmed making everyone look in shock.

"Think it's alive?" Dr Chen asked a bit worried. "No, I've done a satellite scan Monster Zero doesn't show up whatsoever on there but I do get a different ping of something not in our Titan database." Sam answered as he looked through satellite scans over the region.

"A new titan?" Madison asked as she held her arms. "Could be, but why inside a lab that has no space at all for a Titan containment?" Rick asked.

"Something tells me we need to find out before Godzilla does." Mark said as he sat up. "I'll prepare a team and meet you at the Argo for take off." Colonel Diane said as she quickly rushed out of the room.

"You think Godzilla is heading there?" Sam asked as he got up from his seat. "Possibly if he really heard that roar." Mark said as Rick got out of his seat and he and Sam followed him.

"Madison I want you to stay here." "No I'm going with you!" "Not a chance young lady!" Despite being told no Madison immediately ran after them with Dr Chen and Dr Ling following close after them.

"What do you mean Monarch is mobilizing?"

Rue quietly woke up as she opened her eyes halfway while the three fairy sisters perked up and immediately went to hiding between Rue's person and her tail.

Rue pretended to sleep as she heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Belivera held the handle of her sword in her right hand.

"They must've heard her roar." Rue felt her heart leap at that. While she thought a Titan would hear her roar she definitely didn't expect Monarch to but she was fine with that, until she registered Johan had figured it meaning he had someone on the inside.

'Jesus fucking Christ is anywhere safe from this guy?' Rue thought to herself in panic making Lora (who the youngest Elias sister had heard her thoughts) place a hand on her to send comforting waves to the preteen making Rue feel a bit better.

"Prepare to move locations, bring all data and experiments including Zero G." Moll pursued her lips at that as Belivera tightened her grip on her sword handle.

"Save her for last, it would be more important to get the equipment moved first." Moll let out a breath in relief as Belivera kept her grip on her sword handle while Lora mouthed up to the ceiling "thank you Goddess Queen".

"We still have Project M.G in case we manage to lose her." Was all the four could still hear as Johan walked off still on the phone.

Once the four knew he was out of ear shot Lora quickly was the first to leave the hiding spot. "And here I thought the God King would get here first." She said as Moll went to her side as well with Belivera following suit.

"They probably noticed him moving when Belivera summoned him." Moll figured as she brushed her hair from her face.

Rue slightly lifted her head from her arms. "Okay but that doesn't help of the possibility Johan has people inside of Monarch, and what if Godzilla doesn't get here in time before they ship me out." She whispered to the three, keeping her voice down in case someone could be nearby listening to her.

"Well he didn't mention the God King so the possible chance that it's just what they could," Lora pursued her lips for the correct words. "Hack?" Rue suggested making Lora snap her fingers, "Yes hack, into Monarch to find those logs or whatever." Lora continued, "So there's a good chance he doesn't have anyone actually inside."

Moll kept an eye out on the area outside of the cell as Belivera had a mental conversation with Godzilla through the Priest bond off to the side.

"Now why am I not surprised it was Lora who convinced you to summon me for something in need?" He asked Belivera through the bond of their conversation. "Oh hush it, you know she learned it from Jr." She responded back earning an amused chuckle through the bond.

Rue sighed as she rested her chin on her arms, "Still it doesn't make me feel less anxious." She told Lora as she hugged herself with her tail while resting her chin on her arms. Lora gave her a sympathetic smile as she rested her hand on the blonde's tail to comfort her.

After finishing the mental bond conversation Belivera sighed. "He has no clue how long until he gets here but he's trying to as fast as he can." She told the three. "Let's hope they're slow with moving." Moll said with a sigh as she rested a hand on Rue's tail to try to help her sister ease the girl's nerves.

Belivera sighed as she approached them and took a seat on the ground while leaning her back against Rue's tail while crossing her arms over her chest.

Rue buried her face back in her arms feeling three simultaneous mental waves of comfort pass through her from the three fairy Priestess' sisters by her.

💜⚡🔥💜

A long thick and powerful tail prepailed him forward through the chilling waters around him.

He was far from surprised that Lora convinced Belivera to do the summoning, but he was when she kept it brief as to why he needed to be summoned.

He knew she was on the edge of something with it from the bond but didn't look further with it. He could find out himself when he got there. For now all he could do was swim as fast as possible to the location of his priestess and her sisters.

The keys jingled in the cell door making Rue shoot her head up to look as the three sisters quickly hid behind a bench beam in the cell. The guard opened the cell door allowing three of them to enter as a forth one had the leash in hand.

"Up and at em brat." Rue sighed as she pushed herself up then stood up. 'Well guess I'm never lucky.' Rue thought to herself as the leash clipped onto the collar.

A sharp tug of the leash made Rue wince with a pained face as she followed the five guards to walk down the hallway. The three fairies left their hiding spot and stared ahead. "We have to go after them!" Lora said making Moll nod in agreement.

The twins held their hands above the other (Moll's left hand hovering above Lora's right with both of their palms open) as golden sparkles left their hands. "Fairy." Belivera grabbed the pendant on her choker, "Garugaru!" She called for her mount.

In an instant a much smaller (still larger than the three however) version of Mothra flew to the twins, following closely behind it was an almost dragon-like creature slightly larger than Fairy, while its snout was chubby similar to a Pug with mechanical parts as well and large dragon-like wings.

Fairy landed in front of Moll and Lora allowing the twins to quickly climb on (Lora sitting behind her sister) while Garugaru landed in front of Belivera allowing her to climb on its back.

"Come on!" In an instant Fairy and Garugaru took off after the five guards and Rue.

Rue stared blankly at her clawed feet as she walked with the five guards, her claws slightly clicking against the cold ground with her tail swaying slightly behind her. Fairy and Garugaru quickly caught up to them.

"Ready Lora? Belivera?" Moll asked her sister's making the said two nod in confirmation (Lora nodded, Belivera yelled a ready) as Lora held an arm out with her palm flat and Belivera took her sword out from its sheath with its blade extending making twice as long.

"Now!" In an instant Lora began to fire balls of concentrated psychic energy at the guards while Belivera got in closer to swing her sword at their arms.

The guard holding the leash quickly shoved Rue to the floor (who landed on her front) while taking out a shock stick and swinging it around trying to hit the fairies and their mounts with the other guards.

Belivera saw Rue still just laying there with a blank look. The eldest Elias sister gritted her teeth as she steered Garugaru higher in the air to avoid the guards as she projected a telepathic voice to Rue.

"You want to be free from this? From being caged by these bastards and constantly experimented on? Then you got to fight back! Fight back for your freedom!" Belivera told her telepathically making Rue freeze at that.

The blonde's face then darkened with a snarl painting her lips as she pressed the palms of her claws against the concrete ground and pushed herself to her knees then stood up tall.

The guard that had held her leash backed up unaware of Rue glaring him down from behind. "THEIR THE SIZE OF BATS! THEY SHOULDN'T BE THAT HARD TO HIT-" The guard was cut off as he began to yell in panic gaining the attentions of the other four guards watching in shock and horror as Rue picked him up from behind with two of her claws (her index and middle finger) dug into his skull a good few inches between the base of the skull and the spine (shallow enough to not cause death especially instant but deep enough to hold a grip on him) and held him high a few feet above the ground with her towering heights.

Rue quickly threw him into the other guards making them fly back into the ground in a pile up. A deep rumbling growl left her throat before she roared loudly at them enough to shake the room with the volume while purple electricity crackled off her fangs, though compared to the previous roar this one held pure rage with one sentence clear as day in it.

"You will not keep me here no more!"

"SHIT!" Rue began to throw the guards around like ragdolls with ease, her rage and adrenaline giving her more than enough strength than what she had from her alterations.

"MAYDAY MAYDAY! CODE RED! CODE RED! EXPERIMENT ZERO G IS FIGHTING BACK! I REPEAT; EXPERIMENT ZERO G IS FIGHTING BACK!"

One of the guards activated the shock collar making Rue nearly fall to her knees with a scream in pain. As more guards rushed in Rue growled as she slipped her claws between the collar and her neck and began pulling on the collar without stopping while electricity from the collar started to dance across her fangs slowly turning purple as they did.

At last, the collar snapped from the strain and broke into two pieces effectively powering off causing Rue to throw them at two guards and roared again.

The violet bioluminescence along Rue's dorsal spikes slowly brightened up as a humming noise and charging was heard in the air while two slits in the palms of her hands opened up as smoke left them.

Rue picked up a guard in her claws (the claws digging into his abdomen) just as the blast left her palms, a stream of dark violet fire left her palms (one going through the guard she had on her claws the other she aimed around at the other guards like a flame thrower) causing the guards to jump back or try to scatter to avoid.

Rue threw the corpse at the guards allowing herself to quickly run to the exit with the three fairy sisters after her.

"EXPERIMENT ZERO G IS TRYING TO ESCAPE! I REPEAT; EXPERIMENT ZERO G IS TRYING TO ESCAPE!"

Six more guards blocked Rue's exit making her growl as she opened her mouth and fired a few bolts of purple lightning at them effectively knocking them back against the walls. Rue grabbed one of them by their ankles and threw them at other guards that got off sending them to the ground in a pile up allowing Rue to jump over them with ease.

Rue quickly found herself outside where the howling winds of a blizzard and sideways snowfall paired with the below frigid temperatures and practically weak ground below the deep snow confirmed Rue she was in the Antarctic.

While Rue didn't exactly feel the harsh negative effects humans would feel even with layers of winter clothing made specifically for the Antarctic (especially considering her clothes were small teal hospital patients gown), she still felt bothered by them in an annoyance sense and the harsh winds blowing in her face and whipping her matted blonde hair around.

Lora held onto Moll as Fairy struggled against the winds, even Garugaru was struggling against the winds with Belivera holding onto their reigns like a lifeline.

Rue's ears twitched at a sudden noise making Rue look behind her as guards that were still alive rushed out of the building to get to her. "Shit." She hissed out then looked at the three fairies, "Get behind me!" Moll nodded as she guided Fairy to get behind Rue while Belivera did the same with Garugaru trying to stay close to her younger sisters.

Rue gave a loud roar at them as ice cracked in large and rapid cracks behind her. Rue's roar was overshadowed by the deafening baritone roar behind her that had a slight trumpet shriek almost similar to an elephant's call causing Rue, the fairies and the guards to look in shock (mostly for Rue) and fear (mostly the guards) at the sight of the king.

Countless ebony scales covered their form from snout tip to the base of their claws and long powerful tail which the tip of the tail all the way up to the base of their neck along their back were various sharp dorsal spikes, equally sharp claws as well with sharp fangs in their mouth and sharp piercing golden yellow eyes while being almost four hundred feet tall.

The true King of the Monsters-

"FALL BACK FALL BACK! I REPEAT FALL BACK! GODZILLA IS HERE!"

"My God...." Rue breathed out in disbelief. "Zillaaa." Lora half whispered to add. 'He actually came. He's actually here.' Rue thought in disbelief as Belivera gave a pull of the Priestess bond allowing Godzilla to look at them while Rue fought the more stubborn guards who were trying to approach them.

Belivera steered Garugaru higher to reach Godzilla's head, the sentient mecha mount having some struggle against the harsh winds. Belivera let Garugaru hover in front of the king's snout. "My king." Belivera greeted bringing her left fist to her chest as Godzilla nodded.

"Belivera, what is that Lora had you summon me for-" Godzilla was cut off as Rue roared at the guards and looking in time to see the blonde preteen throw a guard at the others with ease then roared at them again while firing purple fire from her palms once more at them.

The more stubborn ones finally got the hint and quickly got on the helicopters which began to take off.

"I told them this beast should be dead-" "She's only TWELVE YEARS OLD BELIVERA! TWELVE!" Lora snapped at her eldest sister as Moll steered Fairy to Garugaru's side. Belivera almost jumped at Lora's rare bursts of rage.

Godzilla just stared at Rue as the helicopters lifted up to the sky. "Not on my watch fuckers." She growled out as she quickly ran to one of the power generators.

Rue grimmanced, "Oh this is going to fucking suck." She muttered before sucking in a sharp breath (despite no longer requiring to breath) and bit down on the metal beams holding power lines.

After a minute the sounds of power draining was heard in the wind as electricity moved to Rue. Godzilla's eyes widened in disbelief and shock at the familiar ability only the Golden One had.

Rue only managed to drain half of the power grid of the lab before she forced herself to pull away with a yell in pain, electricity crackling across her fangs rapidly along with her dorsal spikes.

Rue took a big breath as the charging and humming noises returned while from the tip of her tail to the base of her neck her dorsal spikes began to light up one at a time as the electricity crackling across them began to turn purple. With a scream, a genuine human scream, Rue fired the bolts of lightning from her mouth.

The electricity didn't stay accurate to targets fully but most of it hit some of the helicopters allowing them to malfunction.

"Impossible... How-" "Humans that's how." Belivera told Godzilla making him give her a side glance. 'A pup... With their abilities?'

Rue finally stopped firing bolts of lightning as she was gasping for air, despite not requiring the breath it pained her body all over from the inside out. "Fuck... Yeah that definitely sucked." Rue groaned out as she held her abdomen area, arms wrapped around.

"Fuck it, IF I'M GOING DOWN I'M TAKING THIS BRAT BITCH WITH ME!" Rue snapped her head up with a gasp as one of the guards pulled an RPG from the helicopter.

Rue quickly covered her head in her arms while tucking her head down as she braced for impact already knowing with syphoning electricity like that her legs would be practically jello.

In an instant a large form shielded her from both harm, winds and sight as a bright blue light and flames shooting was heard. Rue shot her eyes open and looked seeing Godzilla firing his Atomic Breath at the helicopter's head on.

Rue watched in shock and awe as Godzilla stopped his Atomic Breath and let out a mighty roar that shook the air around them.

"Holy shit." Belivera said in shock. "Agreed.." Moll agreed with her older sister. Lora looked as Rue fell to her hands and knees gasping and coughing for breath, she could sense the preteen's mind was foggy and her ears were ringing. "RUE!" Moll noticed at her sister's cry and had Fairy go to Rue's shaking form.

Lora pressed a hand on Rue's head from her spot behind her twin on Fairy trying to help soothe her. Her brows furrowed after a second, Moll noticed her sister's expression change. "Is it that bad?" She asked, Lora nodded, "Doing that attack strained her body badly. She's not used to holding electricity like The King of Terror apparently." She explained to her sister's and the king.

Rue couldn't focus on anything around her as she heard her heart pounding in her ears through the loud ringing that dulled the howling winds around her, she could feel her blood pumping their veins with each individual drop and her head and chest felt heavy.

Rue felt a snout nudge her form as a loud yet gentle whine let the owner. "Easy young pup," Rue heard a gruff male voice say next to her.

Rue just whimpered in pain as she laid her upper body and arms on the owner of the voice's snout (too tired and in pain to register it was Godzilla) and shut her eyes tight. "I wanna go home..." Rue cried out, tears leaving her purple eyes. "I wanna go home.... I want my mom and dad..." She buried her face in Godzilla's snout. "I just want my family...."

Godzilla whined again as he gently nudged her while his tail shielded Rue and the fairies from the harsh winds around them.

The sounds of another helicopter approaching made Godzilla growl. Lora strained her eyes to try to sense the energies of it. "Monarch?" Lora asked her twin making Moll nod as a yes. "Took their sweet time with it." Belivera grumbled.

When the helicopter landed and the back doors opened they were almost hesitant to exit from the king's presence and his low warning growls paired with a glare to the humans.

Lora looked between the group of humans and the God King. "My king, they can help her." She told him making Godzilla turn his eyes to her. "Humans did this to this pup though." He told her, "Those were the same humans that freed the Golden One though, these humans helped give you time to recover to defeat them. They believe in titans to stay among them in the old co'exist, they can help her." Lora explained to him, brushing her hair from her face as she stood up so he could see her better from behind her sister on Fairy's back.

"They can get her back to her family." Godzilla softened a bit at that statement. Moll was busy mentally talking to the humans to help them understand a bit.

The brave one to get close first was Dr Chen making Godzilla stare at her. Dr Chen stood there while the king stared her down before whining a bit as he moved his tail enough to reveal Rue (who had fallen to unconsciousness from the pain) yet continue to shield her and the fairies from the howling winds.

Moll steered Fairy to her to act almost as an escort (and also to keep any radiation from Godzilla reflected off of her) as Dr Chen slowly got closer to him and Rue.

Once she was in close enough proximity Dr Cheng carefully lifted Rue's right arm and rested it across her shoulders and tried to pick her up. That in itself had a big struggle with both Rue's height and the added weight of her Titan attributes.

Mark quickly got to her side first in a rush and supported Rue's left. "I gotcha, wrap an arm around her back with me." Dr Chen followed Mark's plan and it made carrying Rue a bit easier as they slowly made their way back to the helicopter trying to be careful as they carried Rue.

"Jesus Christ..." Colonel Diane muttered under her breath at the sight of Rue. "You can say that again." Rick agreed as he and some of the soldiers and Dr Ling helped Mark and Chen get Rue to the helicopter.

The humans flinched as Godzilla sat upright and stepped backwards from them. Belivera sighed as she rubbed her temples, "By the fates my king." She sighed out as she then grabbed ahold of the reigns of Garugaru and steered him to her sister's side as they joined the humans while Godzilla went back under the ice into the chilling waters.

"Rick go ahead and take some guys with you to get whatever you can find on here in that lab." Mark told him. "Got it!" Rick yelled as he grabbed Colonel Diane and Griffin.

"Argo prepare a medical bay alongside for Castle Bravo, we're coming back with someone in need of medical assistance." "A human?" "Maddie I don't even know what she is at this point."

"Madison be careful or you'll get dizzy from spinning around in that chair so much." The said brunette teenager groaned in annoyance at Sam as she stopped spinning the chair repeatedly. "You sound as bad as my dad." She whined while throwing her head back.

Sam held his hands up in surrender, "Hey I'm just telling the truth." He said making Madison sigh as she pulled her knees up to her chest in her seat and rested her chin on her arms.

"You wanna talk about it? You know, future coworker to future coworker." Sam asked as Madison brushed her hair from her face. "It's just," Madison sighed, "Ever since Boston dad, he's been the definition of a helicopter parent. Like yes, I get both Andrew and mom died due to Titans, I was there both times, but I want to do this I want to work for and help Monarch." She vented, brushing her hair back from her face.

"I want to meet other Titans like Mothra, that kept me steady when I was with mom traveling and dad was trying to recover both grief of Andrew's death and the whole alcoholism." She sighed as she buried her face in her arms.

Sam gave the teenager a sympathetic smile. "Hey it could be worse." He said making Madison lift her head up slightly to look at him. "How?" "He could keep you from visiting Monarch and Castle Bravo." Madison snorted at that. "Oh you're definitely not wrong."

"Argo this is Colonel Diane, we need a medical area set up for a passenger we are bringing on board." Chan's voice rang through the communications channel gaining the two's attentions.

Sam looked at Madison and nodded as he went to one headset while Madison picked up the other. "An actual human?" Madison asked into the communications channel. "Maddie I don't even know what she is at this point." Chen replied making Madison's face turn worried.

"We'll stay down here to see what we can find on her of what remains here, looks like a reminments of a fire was burning before the winds got em." Rick said through his side of the communications channel. "So you guys go get her back to the Argo." He said, "Understood." Madison looked at Sam who had the same worried expression as the teenager.

"Oh you're not the only one worried kid." Sam told her making Madison sigh as she took the headset off to run a hand through her hair.

The wait for them was antagonizingly slow to the two as they kept an ear out on the coms to see if anything else happened. Sam had left and came back briefly with some medical equipment to place in the control room.

"Alright you two got her?" "Yeah we're sure." Madison and Sam looked to the entrance seeing the main group (minus Rick, Diane and Griffin) slowly making their way but leading the way and being supported by Mark and Chen was Rue's still unconscious form.

"What in the actual hell?" Sam asked in disbelief, "Holy shit." Madison muttered as the two got out of their chairs. "What is she?" Sam asked as Mark and Chen carefully got Rue on the floor (not exactly trusting the cot to support her body weight but placing down some of the coats and blankets to add comfort for her). "We have no idea, all we know is that Godzilla was shielding her." Chen explained just as confused by Rue as Madison and Sam.

Sam grabbed a tablet for the signal scans and hovered over Rue with it. Madison noticed Moll, Lora and Belivera land on the main table in the center of the room getting off of Fairy and Garugaru respectively but chose not to bother the three (seeing three tiny Japanese girls with a miniature version of Mothra and a mechanical dragon slightly larger than it was probably the least strangest thing she experienced with her time around Monarch) and focused on Rue.

Sam raised a brow at her scans. "Woah that's weird. She's definitely the signal source we sensed of a new Titan but she's barely giving off radiation levels, I've seen more radiation levels on newborn Titan's." Sam explained his scans

"Because she's never fed off of radiation even once since becoming that with the Golden One's DNA." Belivera said gaining their attentions to the three sisters.

"Oh good I thought I was going insane on seeing three tiny girls who have a robot dragon and a mini Mothra." Sam said in almost a sarcastic tone.

Moll gave a quick punch to Belivera's arm (which made her yell a hey) as she then quickly greeted the others with a quick bow. "I am Moll, and these are my sisters, my twin Lora and our older sister Belivera. We are fairies and Priestess' to the God King and Goddess Queen. Belivera is the priestess to Godzilla, Lora and I are the Priestess' to Mothra." Moll quickly introduced herself and her sister's to the Monarch agents.

"Isn't Mothra dead though? Everyone saw it with the Boston battle?" Dr Ling asked them as she approached them with her sister Chen.

Moll shook her head, "Mothra has an ability with every egg she lays and when she dies to be reborn in one of the eggs with her memories intact." She explained as Garugaru began to carefully groom Fairy making sure to be mindful of his sharp fangs.

"So like reincarnation?" Madison asked as she crouched down to the Elias sisters eye level by the table. "Exactly." Lora said with a nod and a smile.

"What is this priest role exactly?" Mark asked, confused by the situation. "The priest or priestess is when a person forms a psychic connection to a Titan, they're not only able to communicate with them both verbally and telepathically they're also able to call for them in need." Lora explained to them.

"There have been some stories of a set of twins almost always around Mothra." Chen said remembering. "I never thought we'd actually meet them." She added in awe at the twin fairies.

"When the last ice age happened the Goddess Queen sealed us including Belivera in cocoons until the day the ice age ended to release to continue by her side when she hatched again." Moll explained as she glanced back as Fairy and Garugaru began to play with each other behind them as Belivera watched them (making sure Garugaru was being gentle on Fairy) with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Uh, hey guys?" Rick's voice called through the coms making Sam get to his seat and turn on his mic. "What's wrong Rick?" "Well, the power is a bit iffy here so I'm trying to pull whatever files I can into a USB to read em back on the Argo on the way back to Castle Bravo, there's so many of them holy shit why so many files. Even with basic date origination." Rick explained, muttering that last part under his breath.

"Blame that beast for that." Belivera said as she jestered to Rue over her shoulder not even turning to face her.

Madison carefully looked over her shoulder at Rue who breathed quietly and steadily in her sleep, her face mostly hidden underneath the curtain of golden matted hair.

"What is she?"

"Experiment Zero G?" Colonel Diane read aloud from the monitor on the wall showing one of the files Rick managed to salvage from the lab.

The Argo had set a course back to Castle Bravo and now the Monarch agents went through the files to see what they could learn of Rue. Madison sat on the floor criss-crossed next to Rue's slumbering form (snagging a blanket of the many spares that were on the craft for emergencies and covering her with it) as she watched as well with Moll, Lora and Fairy on her shoulders. Belivera sat on the control table next to Garugaru making a check of his systems after the intense cold and winds from the Antarctic.

"Of what the files say-" Rick paused as he felt his heart stop. "What?" Mark asked him. "Says here she's only twelve." He read aloud. "She's younger than Madison here."

"Oh God.." Dr Chen muttered as Ling held her twin's arm. Mark buried his face in his hands at that. Madison felt sick to her stomach as she glanced at Rue.

'Why would anyone...' Madison didn't finish her internal questions as she shook her head. "Wanna continue Rick?" She asked him making him and the others snap back.

"Right thank you Madison, back on track." Rick began as he looked back at the tablet. "She's twelve and, apparently has been there for two years by these logs. But this is where it gets interesting." He trailed off pulling the file up of genetics.

While there was about twenty percent human genetics, they were overwhelmingly replaced with, "Fifty five percent King Ghidorah?" Sam asked in disbelief with his face paling at that. Madison felt her stomach drop at the meantime of the three headed titan that killed her mother.

"How is that possible to get viable DNA of them when Ghidorah is dead? Godzilla turned all three heads and everything else into ash." Mark asked in shock and disbelief. "Maybe he didn't get all of them as we hoped but enough it couldn't regenerate." Dr Ling theorized still anxious herself.

"The additional genetics though surprise me as well, fifteen percent is Godzilla's while the remaining eight percent is Mothra's." Rick read aloud the other percentages of Rue's DNA structure.

Lora snapped her fingers, "I knew something of the Goddess Queen was rating off of her." She exclaimed making Belivera sigh at that from where she was.

"Okay, Mothra's DNA I'm confused of especially since Mothra died and was absorbed by Godzilla to heal and kill Ghidorah." Dr Chen said, trying to process all of this. "Perhaps all of her scales didn't get absorbed by Godzilla in the fight and survived that fry?" Sam suggested trying to think of how it was possible.

"It's incredible the kid is alive through all of that hell I'm sure of that." Colonial Diane muttered, "You can say that again." Rick agreed.

"The Godzilla DNA explains why she looks like him in a weird way, but with most of her DNA Ghidorah's is surprising me of that." Mark admitted.

Madison looked at Rue behind her while tuning out the conversation of trying to answer the mysteries of the girl, her matted blonde hair slightly in her face covering fair skin and ebony scales across it.

Madison carefully brought her hand over to her, hesitating slightly before she held Rue's claw where the palm was up showing the slight slit in her palm.

Rue let out a quiet whine in her sleep making the others silent immediately as they looked at the two to watch as Rue slowly and carefully held Madison's hand back in her sleep without her claws getting in the way, though the tips of them grazed the top of Madison's hand slightly but it didn't even make even the smallest of scratches.

Madison couldn't help but smile at that as she gave the claw a reassuring squeeze making a thin smile reach Rue's face in her sleep.

Mark looked like he was about to say something before ultimately deciding to not.

A smart choice on the father's end.

It had went to hell quickly once the Argo landed to Castle Bravo.

The downpour was heavy as always but enough to practically hurt people with the raindrops, the hanger was busy as always but with the sight of Rue it was almost more loud.

It was when the girl snapped awake with purple eyes open and wide did it get worse. Rue began to thrash in Mark's and Chen's hold to break free. "RUE WAIT!" Lora yelled but unfortunately the fairy's yells fell on deaf ears and Rue threw the two off her and made a run at Madison who froze like a deer in headlights.

Mark's eyes widened in panic as he pushed himself up. "MADISON!" In an instant Rue jumped over Madison by several feet of an inhuman leap landing behind her and continuing to run.

Madison ran after her first, ignoring how painful the rain felt. "WAIT STOP!" Rue didn't hear her as she jumped over the edge, the slits in her palms opening as her dorsal spikes charged up with a humming.

The palm Atomic Breath fired into the air unaffecting Castle Bravo allowing the force of it to send Rue nose diving into the water off the side of Castle Bravo.

Madison stopped herself from going too far as she peered into the thrashing waves below where Rue dove in with the fairy sisters and soon the others as they ran over.

"Madison-" "Dad, I'm fine, but I'm not sure of her." The said brunette teenager cut off her father.

"I don't know if this is paranoia but I don't wanna know what the hell Godzilla may do if he gets to her." Sam said as he ran to get inside with the others quickly after him (counting Moll, Lora, Belivera alongside Fairy and Garugaru) to main control.

💜⚡✨🖤

Rue swam underneath the waves in panic, trying to figure out which way was to Boston. While the water had a bit of a chill she ignored it in her search.

"Come on come on, which way is home." Rue muttered underneath her breath as she spun in the water in circles trying to figure which way where. She didn't want to breach the surface and risk being seen.

Rue began to hyperventilate a bit as she held her head in her claws, knees pulling up to her chest and purple eyes closing as her tail curled around her allowing her to start to sink under the waves.

"No no no no no. I just wanna go home. I just want mom and dad..." She muttered with her voice shaking.

A slight almost creaking sound in the water was heard around her and a snout rested underneath her feet preventing her from sinking further making Rue gasp in alarm and swim back at the sudden appearance of the king.

Godzilla had a concerned look for the girl as she breathed heavily of her panic and fear. "Easy pup, you are safe now." He reassured her noticing her eyes widening briefly at his talking before she held herself in her claws.

Rue slumped her head down as her form began to shake. "I just wanna go home... I miss my mommy and daddy... I just wanna go home..." The king felt his heart ache at her quiet sobs as he leaned his snout to her allowing Rue to clutch to it like a lifeline of a hug for some sort of comfort.

Rumbling purrs in attempts to comfort her left his throat as he let the girl cry on him. "Belivera, what is of her parents?" He asked his priestess through their bond. "It's a high possibility they're both dead." She responded back after a minute of tense silence making his heart drop. 'That would explain the small hopes of which she wishes it wasn't true.' He thought to himself sadly.

With eons of practiced gentleness with Mothra the king carefully raised a claw up to rest on top of Rue to comfort her. Rue held onto him tighter as she cried with her tail tightening its grip around her waist.

The king could care less of the humans inside their structure watching him, he had more pressing matters at the moment to deal with.

💙🔥🔥💙

"He's actually comforting her." Belivera said in disbelief at the sight from main control of Castle Bravo.

"Mothra definitely rubbed off on him in some way no matter how he thinks otherwise." Moll mused quietly making Lora agree with a small nod.

Madison was the closest to the glass that peered into the water without the shield watching the two. In some strange way it reminded her back at Mothra's temple in China, where the recently hatched Queen had calmed down and allowed her to touch her.

Madison had to admit whenever she thought back on it for some joy she would be questioning how she didn't suffer any radiation effects especially since Mothra had recently hatched at that time and she would've given off intense radiation levels.

"I'd be safe to say he's not gonna eat her?" Sam asked no one in particular aloud as Rick listened to Godzilla's readings. "Well he does sound like he's comforting her with those rumbles, so yes he isn't gonna eat her." Rick confirmed making a weight leave their shoulders.

Mark looked at his daughter who stared at the two titans in wonder. "Mad-" In an instant cutting the father off, Godzilla swam off taking Rue with him, the force of the powerful swim turn shook Castle Bravo slightly but not as intense as in the past.

"Wait where is he going?" Dr Chen asked in a slight panic. "My King where are you taking her?" Belivera asked Godzilla through their bond. "She needs rest and radiation Belivera, we shall sleep on the ocean floor so she's calm before interacting with the humans again." Godzilla answered back making Belivera sigh.

"What did he say?" Moll asked her older sister making Lora, Dr Ling and Dr Chen look at her. "He says he and the beast are going to sleep on the ocean floor so she can get rest and radiation." Belivera relayed the message from the King.

"Wait so he's gonna sleep with her like a parent would with their kid to protect them?" Rick asked the fairies as Mark checked over Madison after the shakes subsisted to his daughter's annoyance. "Pretty much." Belivera sighed out making Garugaru nuzzle her back to comfort her stress allowing Belivera to pet his head.

Godzilla got close to the ocean floor where once his feet touched the sandy and gravel bottom he carefully grabbed Rue in his claws making her hold onto his snout more with a whimper.

"Easy young pup, I am merely changing your position so we can rest." He reassured her watching as Rue glanced around a bit before she let go allowing Godzilla to carefully pull her off to hold in his claws.

The king curled up as he usually did, his tail was about to wrap around himself with his free arm pressed against the ground to support his head when he brought Rue to lay down close to his chest and the arm then rested his chin on the arm giving a good space for Rue to have between the spaces then curled his tail around himself while bringing his other arm down to side as well.

Rue was surprised by the sudden darkness, but it felt comforting to her. The blonde curled up in a similar fashion as the king on the ground keeping close between his arm and throat (in turn Godzilla began to make rumbling purrs to comfort her) as she held her tail like a plush in her arms.

Rue let out a small sigh in content as she felt her person relax while her purple eyes closed. It wasn't long before she drifted off being lulled to sleep by the rumbling purrs of Godzilla, the faint crashing of the waves miles above them and the just as faint whale calls in the distance.

"Sleep easy little one, you are safe now."

Chapter Text

The water around the two was silent minus the calls of whales in the distance, the mechanical workings inside Castle Bravo and other things the King could hear underneath the waves as the two titans slept curled up at the ocean floor.

Rue was still between Godzilla's body and arms in his curl around her, his arms and head shielding her from the world around her in a protective shield to keep the people that harmed her and made her who she was from getting to her again.

How many hours had passed of the two sleeping? I would say about five or six.

The king suddenly woke up with a quiet rumble leaving his mouth and blinked a few times to get coherent.

Yellow eyes glanced around to survey the surroundings for any danger before he relaxed and moved his head so he could check on Rue.

While she didn't need to breath anymore, her body rose up and down steadily showing calm breathing (probably still having to breathe not for air but to keep blood pumping through her body and organs) as she held her tail still like a stuffed toy.

Godzilla frowned a bit noticing her radiation levels was still quite low. Sure smaller titans even the young even after some time after they hatched or born (where newborn and newly hatched Kaiju gave off extreme amounts of radiation before they would regulate) would have low radiation levels but never this low. And this was her internalized radiation at that.

Rue had a strange ability not super rare but Godzilla had seen it a couple of times in the past where Kaiju didn't give off radiation on their body but rather it was internalized, so humans could be around them like nothing but with that they could absorb radiation around them instantly so as long as they were in a radius humans could be around titans with no radiation effects as the radiation would pull to them like a magnet.

So it was concerning how little her radiation levels were. 'Maybe the volcanic vents could help?' Godzilla thought to himself as he nudged Rue a bit with his snout.

Rue woke up relatively quick at that as she hummed and rubbed her eyes (being careful not to poke her eyes with her claws) while letting go of her tail which moved away from between her legs and behind her.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked her making Rue freeze a bit as she then slowly turned her head and looked up at him.

"Oh so that wasn't all a dream then." She said aloud in surprise making Godzilla raise an eye ridge in an equivalent to raising a brow at that. "Yeah I had dreams in the past where I hoped someone would get me out of that hell hole, a few times it was you. Hey it helped me cope with my situation." Rue admitted as she stretched her arms behind and above her head while her tail stretched behind her.

The King gave a brief sad look, "Well I apologize it took so long to do so." He apologized to her as he nuzzled her with his snout a bit. The sight of it was a bit awkward considering the huge size difference between the two, he could crush her with just his snout alone if he wanted to.

Rue froze at that in surprise before shaking the surprise off as Godzilla moved up a bit allowing Rue to swim up a bit.

"Is there a reason why you woke me up if you don't mind me asking?" She asked him as she stretched again, her tail swaying a bit underneath her to keep her from sinking.

"You need more radiation, unfortunately the constant levels emitting from my body apparently do not seem to be enough." He began as he glanced at the surroundings a bit. "I am hoping the volcanic vents could help aid that. Since the vents give off radiation levels from the magma of the planet it will be ideal." He explained to her as he rolled his neck a bit to stretch it.

Rue got excited, "Oh there's plenty around Hawaii, it's how the islands formed." She told him making Godzilla look at her in confusion. Rue laughed sheepishly, "Whoops, forgot you don't know human stuff." She realized, "Well Hawaii is a series of like eight islands in the ocean and the main big island is the most populated if I remember correctly with a big active volcano along the mountains." She began to explain.

Godzilla instantly remembered now, "I see, it's where I first encountered the male parasite." He recalled aloud cutting Rue off before she could explain further. "You mean the Male MUTO? That makes sense." She told him as she swam upwards a bit to be more at his head level, her tail helping propel her.

He gave her a side glance, "You seem to know a bit with us including those parasites." He mused making Rue blink in surprise. "Oh yeah, I was in both San Francisco and Boston, aka you fighting the MUTO's and the second one you fighting Ghidorah. I had a deep like, obsession almost of learning what I could of you guys growing up, you guys are just so interesting." She admitted to him as she was swimming around a bit to keep herself from being still.

Godzilla was surprised at this, "How old were you in both those attacks?" He asked her, Rue paused a bit to think back. "The first one I think, god maybe three years old? It was before my little sister was born. But I do remember I was ten with Ghidorah, it was two months after it all I got taken and turned to," Rue paused at the end to jester at her form, "Well this."

The king was surprised by this, she was so young yet had experienced so much for her age. He shook his head before the bubbles of memory of how many other young humans must've experienced the horrors of him defeating old enemies could surface.

"We should head off." He said as he began to swim off with Rue quickly behind him. "Shouldn't we let them know somehow?" Rue asked him as she pointed to Castle Bravo at the them part so he could get she meant MONARCH. "So they don't think you're going to do bad stuff and not shoot you."

Godzilla used his tail to bring Rue closer to him so she could hold onto his arm so she didn't have a struggle keeping up with him. "I will alert Belivera with the priest bond so she can relay the message. Her stubbornness can help get it through to them." He told her, 'It's been eons since this priest bond I've had my own, this is going to take long to get used to again.' He thought to himself as he watched Rue nod in understanding.

"Belivera, tell the humans we're heading to one of the islands where I faced the male parasite. I'm hoping the volcanic vents around the islands can help her radiation levels." "Understood my king."

The silence underneath the waves between the two felt strange to Rue as they swam, while it was almost peaceful it also made her feel on edge a bit.

The blonde worried about getting on his nerves if she spoke. Yes there was nothing that showed he would but she still feared to upset him in some way.

It wasn't an easy to miss thing off of her even to the king, he couldn't use the ways he did to cheer Jr up because how fragile she was, she was more fragile than Leo and Mothra even.

"Left your kisses in the car, I'm just sittin' in it. Found your jacket at the bar, now I'm sleepin' in it. I'm a sucker for your heart, took a bite out of it. Yeah, I can't resist it, so-so-so delicious." The King was surprised by the sudden music as he glanced down at the girl holding his arm. While his telepathy wasn't as great as Mothra's (her's was really incredible whenever he thought about it) his was strengthened a lot when the target was in physical contact with him, so he could tell the music was from her thoughts.

"Can't back out, yeah, you've done it now. Hold me in your arms tonight, Until it's hard to see, till I cannot breathe." "May I ask what song is playing in your head I can hear with the telepathy?" He asked the girl making Rue jump a bit at that sudden talking.

"O-Oh, I didn't know you could hear that sorry." She apologized as the song stopped playing in her head making him frown a bit.

"There is no reason to apologize, it is quite nice music. That I will admit of humans." He reassured her. Rue just looked below her in silence for a bit.

"Tell me what to sacrifice. 'Cause you're a killer, going in for the kill, yeah."

"It's called Death of Me, it's from a movie humans made called Smile Two, a horror movie." Rue explained as the music resumed in his head from the telepathy. "I'm not scared to go, I'm collateral! Knocked out, your love will be the death of me! Not scared to go, it's not rational! Strung out, I'll trade it for my sanity!"

"Basically the movie and its previous is about this curse of a demon, the demon is called the Smile Demon, and he feeds off of and uses humans most traumatic memories to make them go insane so he can absorb their soul. Once he finally has them like that he makes them commit suicide with an insane smile on their face hence the name in front of another person so the curse can be continued passed around. Plus with every victim he gains a new smile along his body." Rue explained to him as her tail swayed behind her while watching the water around them.

"I don't wanna give you up, I don't wanna give you up (I can't). I don't wanna give you up, I don't wanna give you up (I can't). I'm not scared to go, I'm collateral! Knocked out, love will be the death of me!" The King thought about it for a bit. "Alright that's another thing I'll admit of humans, your creativity has no bounds especially revolving entertaining yourselves." He finally answered making Rue laugh a bit at that.

"I'll take that as a compliment but I will agree on it." She responded with a small smile once she calmed down her laughter.

While Rue mostly kept close to Godzilla by the reefs she still explored a lot while keeping close. The volcanic vents radiation reached far levels closer to the surface and with how it would pull to her like a magnet the king could notice her radiation levels steadily increasing as well.

Sure the vents themselves were at twenty five thousand feet below surface their radiation reached the two quite easily to the reefs. The levels in the reefs weren't harmful to the humans of course but it was still noticeable.

Rue watched some of the fish in wonder, partially focusing on a school of Lemon Miletseed Butterflies with purple eyes wide in amazement and full of wonder.

Rue noticed another fish making her excited. "What is it?" Godzilla asked her, curious of what had gotten her so excited. "It's a Picasso Triggerfish!" Rue exclaimed as she pointed to the said fish swimming by. "Is that what humans call it?" He asked her, "Yeah but it's the Hawaiian State fish, so like a mascot. Its Hawaiian name is really long though." She explained to the king.

"Try to say it then, I am curious." He told her making Rue make a face. "Humu-humu... Nooo- no that's not it." She tried to say but miss said. The king chuckled quietly at that, "Humu-humu-nuku-nuku-apu.... a? I think I got that right." Rue tried again.

"You humans and the names you come up with." Godzilla mused, finding it a bit funny. "Isn't the one MUTO you don't actively try to go kill named and I quote Barb? Quite a human name for her." Rue asked him in retaliation.

Godzilla laughed quietly at that, "Touché there little pup." He praised her making Rue smile slightly.

"Barb is a, strange case of those parasites." Godzilla began as Rue listened in, sitting on a rock as she did. "While her major line factor is that she's, faulty of their terms, being infertile," 'Oh explains a lot why she's not a threat then.' Rue thought to herself, "She does not see herself as one of her kind but tries to blend in amongst us quite a lot." He explained, eyes glancing off to the side in thought.

"Huh, I always wondered why MONARCH never considered her a threat considering the previous two MUTO's." She mused aloud in thought making Godzilla chuckle in amusement at that.

Rue's nose suddenly twitched making the blonde perk a bit as the king also caught the smell. "Is that-" Suddenly Rue swam to hide in Godzilla's arms making the king freeze at that. "What-" "There's a person in the water, their swimming close!" Rue whisper shouted in fear as she tried to make herself as small as possible while hiding her barely glowing dorsal spikes against his person to hide their glow and held herself in fear.

The king watched with narrow eyes as a person with a mask over their eyes and nose a small plastic tube in their mouth swam far too close for comfort. He knew well even MONARCH would have their boundaries at least in being physically there without their metal insects that flew in the air.

Rue shut her eyes tight as she forced her breathing to stop in panic. Godzilla suddenly moved his form, using his head to hide and shield Rue while a deep rumbling growl in warning was shot at the human as his dorsal spikes glowed blue in warning.

The swimmer was surprised at the sudden action of the king while Rue hid herself further against the said king.

Godzilla heard a voice from the swimmer, though their mouth was moving. The swimmer quickly swam away and back to the surface by the voice they heard.

Rue could hear it as well in her panic, looks like even swimmers bold enough to do that were not safe from cops.

'Strange, I smell blood in the water but the human was uninjured. What is causing it?' Godzilla thought to himself, as he watched the human leave the water.

"They are gone now little pup. You have no reason to be scared now." He reassured Rue who peeked an eye open, slowly peeking from her hiding pace to make sure before swimming out.

Rue seemed to slowly relax before she smelled the blood in the water as well making her tense a bit as she looked around.

Godzilla was surprised when the girl swam off to a random direction before he noticed it, there was a white tip shark slowly sinking in the water. It was alive as it weakly tried to swim with its tail but something was preventing it.

Rue got close enough to the sharp where she suddenly grabbed its neck in her tail wrapping it around it and coiling it trying to snap the shark's neck with her arms wrapping around its body holding it still to make twisting its neck easier.

The quick snap quickly killed the shark and Rue quickly sunk her claws into the body of the shark and swam back over with her prize. Though the blood scent caught the attention of other sharks that started to swim after the girl.

When Rue got close enough to him, Godzilla immediately got between the girl and the sharks growling in warning to stay away which they quickly took the hint with a much larger predator.

When they were a good distance enough from them Godzilla looked at Rue who was busy digging into her meal, biting down the meat to tear it away to slowly eat it.

Now up close the king could see easily why it had struggled to swim and was bleeding, the shark was missing its fins. He could tell they weren't torn off either, the cuts were far too clean for that.

"What creature made such clean cuts to remove those fins?" He asked aloud to himself gaining Rue's attention as she quickly finished her mouthful. "Oh yeah, there's this stupid thing with humans in some type of hunting, where they take the fins off a shark for 'medicinal use' when in reality it's like some prize thing. They just throw the poor guys back into the water to slowly die either from blood loss or lack of oxygen from the lack of swimming. They get too many in one trip that it's illegal so police try to get them before a big drop in shark populations." Rue explained to him, taking another big bite of the shark meat like she hadn't eaten in weeks.

The king found himself growling, "Humans already seem to care less about the planet as is." He growled out making Rue mock a laugh earning his surprise. "Tell me about it, I know a lot of human stuff like money doesn't exist for you guys but their greed for a lot of humans has no bounds that they'll not care if someone is screwed over from basic needs for extra buck in their pockets." Rue explained in annoyance, using her claws to rip out some meat of her catch and began to eat that.

The king sighed in frustration while resting his head down, the surface humans had already gotten so complex over the centuries they've been gone and that was just the tip of the iceberg of it all that they would even screw over the chances of their own kinds chances of survival for their greed.

Rue continued into her meal with a fevor from her annoyance of her own kind just from the thought of them.

"Slow down on your eating little pup," Godzilla told her as he watched her eat, "You do not want to risk choking on your food or even getting a stomach ache later with how fast you are eating."

Rue stopped to finish her mouthful. "Sorry," She apologized, "I just haven't eaten anything other than possibly expired even if they can military meals and eating something else even if it's a fucking shark feels so good." She explained, ripping another piece of meat from her catch with her fangs and chewing it. "A little salty though. Nothing unexpected from a shark, but it is tasty." Godzilla had to chuckle a bit in amusement at that.

"Though I do think a Bull Shark would be less salty if it was in a freshwater river, they can apparently change the salinity in their livers to swim in freshwaters to breed." Rue explained a bit, taking another bite of her meal.

Godzilla found it interesting with her knowledge of sea creatures. "You seem to be quite knowledgeable about sea life little pup." He told her making Rue finish her mouthful. "Oh yeah, alongside the fascination I had with you guys I have this fascination with sea life. If I'm being honest if I didn't cut out as a potential MONARCH agent my runner up dream career would've been a Marine Biologist to study sea life." The blonde admitted as she went back to her meal.

The king didn't question what a Marine Biologist was, he already got a slight understanding with that as he watched the area around them while Rue continued to eat.

When the king glanced back at her Rue was starting to slow down of her eating almost struggling to finish her catch. An easy tell sign she had gotten full but did not want her catch to go to waste.

Godzilla nudged her slightly with his snout. "Are you full?" He asked her, he already knew the answer to that but still felt inclined to ask. Rue grumbled, "Yeah but I refuse to let this go to waste. I know other critters would eat it but still." She answered as she slowly chewed another piece of meat in her mouth.

The King got an idea as he nudged her slightly once again making Rue pause before grabbing the shark by its tail taking it from the girl and swallowing it whole like nothing.

Rue stared at him dumbfounded as Godzilla licked his teeth. "That... Works, I suppose." She mused earning a chuckle from the king.

Rue rubbed her face in her hands before curling up close to Godzilla making him nuzzle her in response.

Her radiation levels were quite better now than before but getting them higher wouldn't cause any harm. Besides, Godzilla had to admit the warmth of the reefs with the sunlight was pleasant to relax in.

The king took a deep breath through his gills then relaxed while exhaling keeping the girl close.

'Just an hour of this,' The king thought to himself. 'Just an hour and those humans the priestesses are with will be able to see her.' With that the king soaked the sunshine through the waves of the coral reef with the girl who purred quietly in content.

Chapter Text

Rue swam underneath Godzilla as the two swam back to Castle Bravo, Rue swimming underneath the king to stay hidden from any prying eyes with the king's large form hiding her with ease.

From their trip Rue's radiation levels had improved greatly in such a short time, not only was it great for her energy wise and health wise but her physical appearance improved a lot. A great amount of color returned to her flesh and scales (her scales showing a golden glint in the light amongst the ebony scales), her dorsal spikes gave a soft constant purple glow of their bioluminescence and she looked like she had more weight on her frame as well as the radiation restored and strengthened muscles.

Though she did have the reoccurrence of her matted blonde hair getting caught on her dorsal spikes to her usual annoyance whenever it happened.

While her swimming strength wasn't there still that would get better with time, for now she had to occasionally use her palms Atomic Breath to propel her further in the swim to keep under Godzilla's head.

Golden eyes glanced down at the girl watching her use her palms Atomic Breath again to catch up once more before stopping when she had reached her desired distance. The king knew he should slow down at least so she didn't have to keep using her ability and use her energy for it, but she needed to get her swimming strength built up fast.

Godzilla thought for a moment as he swam, how long ago had it been since he had to help Jr with his swimming? By the Hollow Earth itself it had been so long he couldn't even remember now, though most of the time he thought back to Jr and Leo he was mostly met with the memories of grief. They were still young, not even adults yet before they were killed. Could he even prevent that with this pup?

Feeling Dorsal spikes brush against his chin made the king snap back the reality from his head and glance at the pup who kicked her legs and swayed her tail behind her rapidly trying to keep up.

Godzilla sighed as he grabbed the girl on the front top of his snout and let her rest there as he continued to swim.

Rue was left stunned a bit in surprise before she curled up against him watching the sea life pass them as the king of the monsters swam.

💜⚡🔥🖤

Madison laid on her back of her bed in Castle Bravo, looking over the stone necklace she wore in her hands. It was a very simple stone pendant necklace with a leather cord, but what made it special was the carving on the front of the stone, it was of an all too familiar bipedal lizard with a long powerful tail and dorsal spikes going from shoulder to tail tip.

Originally Serizawa had gotten it from his father who was a previous MONARCH agent which then in their teamwork Serizawa gave it to Vivian. Though with both their deaths it almost had nowhere to go. Thankfully Chen had given it to Madison after everything of Boston knowing Serizawa would want her to have it and it was the girl's most prized possession.

Madison sighed as she let the stone fall against her chest and closed her eyes listening to the bustling noise of Castle Bravo.

When Belivera had told them to prepare for Godzilla and the girl returning for her being comfortable enough now it was in more bustle to prepare for the king of the monsters and especially the experiment girl.

She knew well everyone was making sure they could find out anything they could of her since the files they had gotten were corrupted in some areas, they only knew the basics; that she was human and now her DNA structure was mixed of mostly Ghidorah with Godzilla and Mothra.

Madison had to prevent herself from shivering at the memory of Ghidorah, she had nearly came close to death trying to make sure the titans calmed with the ORCA and Ghidorah tried to kill her for it if Godzilla didn't arrive. She was honestly surprised how she even managed to survive any of that but like hell was she complaining.

Of course she also remembered the second greatest sight to her of Godzilla arriving on shore ready to fight Ghidorah again but with fleets of Navy and Air Force alongside him almost like escorting him to the fight. Just like how it was so long ago, humans and titans working together.

And then there was Mothra, her hatching was the greatest sight of them all she witnessed. Sure it led to the Titan going crazy in panic with soldiers of their stun guns but seeing the Queen of the monsters herself and actually getting to touch her made that worry all worth every bit.

Her love of the moth Titan even showed in her temporary death she still remembered. Back in the temple in China, Mothra going from her Larve form to her radiant adult form flying off.

Sure Madison was fully aware ra was a common theme in Japanese names thanks to Serizawa, but she also thought the ra for Mothra's name fit well to the connection to the Egyptian Sun God Ra; just as radiant as well.

Feeling Castle Bravo shake Madison sat up from her bed. Glancing at a window she made up her mind then quickly grabbed her shoes and slipped them back on.

Her dad was going to be upset, but when was he not with practically being a Helicopter Parent?

Rue sat in a room inside Castle Bravo, on a bench with a blanket across her shoulders and over her dorsal spikes as someone looked over her with a scanner.

It was almost futuristic of the scanner itself, almost was a keyword there. It looked basic but its futuristic part was the screen on it alongside the scan practical holographic white ray that came from the top.

Rue wasn't stupid, she knew what they were doing. Trying to get an understanding of her, but at the least she expected they were trying to see if she gave off any radiation, especially given the person scanning her was in a full fallout hazmat suit.

Rue's tail moved a bit to wrap around her waist underneath the blanket making the person back up a bit before realizing what she was doing then go right back to work.

Rue barely paid them any mind as she looked at her hands in her lap and tried to practice her ASL, it was something she would do when unable to sleep in that lab plus it not only helped her get used to the claws but also helped her have some normalcy of using it for so many years.

The person glanced at her before focusing back on the scans.

The room was a small size, only consisting of a bench Rue sat on, a bolted down chair close to the one way glass (Rue could easily guess it was that considering it was reflective to her side and she knew well they wouldn't have a random mirror in the room) while the room itself was a dull grey in color.

💙🔥🔥🖤

Mark, Chen, Rick, Diane and Madison watched behind the one way glass. Madison fiddled with her necklace as she did, hair pulled back into a short ponytail as she watched.

The air was silent minus the machines and computers around them until the person came out of the room and immediately pulled the mask off.

"Anything?" Mark asked them. "Nothing, if anything she barely gives it off. It's minimal but other than that, unless she's got an open wound she's fine without a suit to be around." They replied pulling off the hazmat suit.

Chen blinked in surprise. "Wait you're saying she doesn't externally give off radiation, but it's all internal?" Diane asked in disbelief. "Yeah, all scans showed their internal. Giving her a wound would be like a nuclear meltdown with all of that uncontrolled radiation leakage." They answered as they handed Rick the scanner who immediately went over the readings.

"Christ on a stick she's right." Rick said aloud in shock as Mark and Chen looked over his shoulders to look at the readings as well.

Madison got an idea with this information, "Guess that means I can go in there." She said and immediately Mark whipped around to her so fast it was a miracle he didn't get whiplash while Chen and Rick turned to her at a slower speed.

"Madison Russell, you are not going in there." Mark told his daughter in his best parent tone. Madison was not backing down from this, she had her mother's stubbornness for a reason, "Dad, the file said it said itself, she's two years younger than me. She'll be more comfortable around me." She told her father holding her ground.

"She's right you know," Rick added his five cents in. "The kid would definitely be more comfortable to talk to someone her own age other than someone close to her captors age." He explained to the widowed father.

Chen was in agreement as well. "Mark she could've done so much harm when she woke up and ran, the state of that lab was a prime example. But she chose not to, she could've hurt Madison but instead jumped over her to get past. She's able to control it, even if it scares her. Madison will be just fine." She explained brushing her hair from her face.

Mark stared between the three of them before he sighed and rubbed his face in his palms. "Alright fine, you can do it." He caved making Madison smile in victory.

"I got an idea first for it though, be right back!" Madison quickly rushed out the room and down the hallway of Castle Bravo before anyone could say anything.

"Hooooooo-boy, this is going to be interesting." Rick muttered underneath his breath.

💜⚡🔥🖤

Rue continued to sit on the bench looking at her hands as she practiced her Sign Language, doing various random words that came to her head. The only sound was scales clattering together, her claws occasionally scraping against each other, her breathing and the buzz of a light above her in the center of the ceiling.

The sound of the door opening made Rue glance up before pausing as a girl her age walked in with two mugs in her hands.

She had dark brown hair with amber highlights that reached her shoulders in length with a slight curl to it, full dark brown eye brows above oval shaped dark chocolate brown eyes, a button shaped nose, plumpish pale pink lips, an oval shaped face, an average body type for her age and had a slightly olive complexion with enough olive to it that only drew out faint freckles across the skin in the sunlight.

Her outfit she wore was a black KISS band themed sweatshirt with a blue shirt peeking underneath the collar, an oversized for the girl's frame varsity jacket of the colors dark grey and and violet as well ('Is it that cold in this building?' Rue thought to herself at the layers.), a pair of old dark blue jeans paired off with a pair of black combats and a stone pendant necklace around her neck held with an old leather cord.

"Hot Chocolate?" She asked as she held a mug out to Rue who immediately perked at that while her tail wagged around her waist. "Oh yes please I haven't had this in two years." She said excitedly as she held her hands out allowing the mug to be placed in them. Rue immediately slipped a claw between the mug and the handle for a better grip and slowly drank its contents, enjoying every drop of the warm drink with a smile as her tail continued to wag happily.

Madison sat in the chair in front of Rue as she took a sip of her own mug.

"I'm Madison by the way, you can call me Maddie for short." Madison introduced herself when Rue lowered her mug after a few sips. "I'm Rue..." She introduced herself quietly. When was the last time she talked to someone close to her age? Even in school she wasn't that social, mostly for being shunned for actually liking her sister.

"You said you haven't had this in two years?" Madison asked her, jumping straight in. "Is that how long you were in there?" Rue nodded at that. "Yeah, it was two months after Boston. I still remember it vividly." She admitted, taking a small sip of her mug.

Madison blinked in surprise. "You were in the city when it happened?" She asked, making Rue look at her mugs contents. "My family and I yeah, my sister and I got separated from the school's evacuation, some kid practically shoved us away from the busses and no one checked. Since my first Titan attack was San Francisco I immediately had a feeling of what to do despite I was, six years old I think back then. I immediately used my belt to strap my sister onto my back so she didn't get lost and immediately tried to catch up. We ended up in the park and when some flash floods I climbed a tree as fast as I could while having my sister use a flashlight to hopefully get helicopters to notice us, they did thankfully and we got out of there." Rue explained, her tail wrapping around her tighter.

Madison stared at Rue as she processed the information. She could hear Serizawa in her head remarking how strong she must've been to survive through all of that at a young age while making sure her sister was safe through all of that.

Rue continued, "I remember the day I was taken like it happened yesterday. It was supposed to be the usual Wednesday morning, got myself and my sister up, we got dressed to have breakfast dad was making..." The blonde paused as she frowned before chugging the rest of her drink.

"Then these guys in full out kevlar and guns came in. Mom got shot which the absolute firepower of the gun sent her flying into a bookshelf with it falling on top of her, dad shielded me and my sister Halo. But after they got shot they dragged me away, putting those old cloths with chemicals on them to put me sleep." Rue continued, "I had their blood on me for so long until this one test while testing things of me out they held me underwater to see if I still needed to breathe-"

SHATTER

"Ah shit!" Rue jumped when her slight tightening on the mug resulted in it to shatter making the two girls jump. Rue groaned in annoyance, "Damnit! I hate this stupid strength increase. I'm just lucky these scales can't be damaged easily." She grumbled.

"Sorry." Madison sighed at that, "It's fine I'd probably do the same in your place. Flashbacks suck." She told the blonde watching as Rue brushed the broken mug pieces off her lap to the floor like nothing without causing a scratch on her person. "Could've been worse, could've had the Hot Chocolate in it not drunken yet." Rue mused a bit making Madison laugh quietly at that.

Madison grabbed one of the MONARCH tablets from her bag she had, "Rue, I'm going to show you an image of a person and I want you to see if you can confirm if it's the same guy you held you hostage, alright?" Madison asked her making the blonde nod. "Okay."

Madison opened the tablet up and pulled up the image, fighting herself from shivering at her own memories as she flipped the tablet around to show the screen to Rue who stared at it.

The image was of an older man, various wrinkles across his face of a pale complexion, greyish blue eyes with deep bags mixed with the eye wrinkles underneath them and greying almost white hair around the sides and back with balding on top. The image was connected to an old dishonourable discharge military file from London.

Rue sucked in a sharp breath, shaking slightly as she nodded. "Yeah that's him, that's the guy." She admitted, claws tightening on the blanket across her shoulders pulling it closer around her causing some tears from her dorsal spikes and claws on the blanket.

Madison looked at the one way glass at that, she didn't even need to see through it to tell her dad, Dr Chen, Rick and Cornell Diane were in shock at the confirmation.

Madison closed out the file and put the tablet away as Rue glanced at her lap still shaking. "You mentioned a sister you had, was she something with the hand stuff you were doing earlier?" Madison asked the blonde in hopes to calm her down. Rue glanced up at that, "Y-Yeah, Halo was born deaf like our mom. S-Sure she had hearing aids but she rarely used them half the time so I still picked up ASL like them and my dad to talk to them when they didn't use them." She explained, brushing her matted hair from her face then pulling the rest behind her free from her dorsal spikes once more.

"I had a little brother, Andrew." Madison admitted making Rue glance at her from her claws. "He died in San Francisco sadly, what set the rift between my parents to begin with. Dad went to drinking trying to cope with the grief while mom threw herself into work." She explained, thinking back on it. "Sorry to hear that." Rue said as she crossed her ankles.

"My dad's gotten help for it, mom died in Boston though. Heroic sacrifice as I sometimes call it despite being a villain of some things back then." Madison admitted, brushing her hair from her face. "I remember when I was a kid me and Andrew would be in the backyard watching all the bugs around the grass." The brunette remembered blissfully as she took a sip of her remaining Hot Chocolate.

Rue gave a thin smile, "Halo loved to bother me to play whenever I was reading. It was always her initiate of chase and tickle monster. I'd put my book aside and even without her hearing aids she could tell I would yell before chasing her around the apartment to tickle her 'here comes Godzilla', she'd be laughing before I'd even get to her." She mused in her memory, she could even faintly hear her sister's laughter.

"You actually liked the titans?" Madison asked in surprise. Rue nodded, "Yeah, in San Francisco I was with a babysitter the time my parents were at work when it happened. She didn't get me to a bus finding it unnecessary, she ended up dead beneath rubble." The blonde paused thinking of if she should dive that far in.

"I remember, walking around the rubble. The MUTO's were still alive, Godzilla hadn't even killed the male one." She continued, feeling her scales across her hands and claws. "I remember seeing him, Godzilla, laying on the ground trying to catch his breath. The MUTO's got distracted by something else, not their nest blowing up. I looked so much smaller than I ever did to any adult compared to him. But I didn't feel any fear as I approached him, I think he sensed that. I didn't know of any radiation issues back then but I put my hand on his snout. I was amazed, that something like him was actually real." Rue admitted, continuing to feel her scales on her hands.

"I didn't tell anyone about that until a few years later after my sister was born I finally told my parents, I never had any issues from that and I didn't want them to worry. I think they weren't surprised considering the mass hate they had, I was the few outside of MONARCH that actually liked them." She finished, still feeling her scales across her palm as her tail slowly uncurled from her waist.

Madison kept staring at the girl in shock but also awe. It reminded her when she first touched Mothra when she had hatched after calming down before it all went to hell, she had no fear of the titan in front of her that practically dwarfed her and her mother, she only felt pure awe and wonder. Rue had experienced it as well though much younger than Madison herself had and with a different titan, irony enough with the king of the monsters while she had with the queen.

Purple eyes glanced up at the brunette, "Can I be able to go back out there or at least to a window to the sea?" Rue asked her. Madison raised a brow in confusion, "Am I thinking what it is?" She asked the blonde who smiled bashfully. "Yeah I liked swimming out there with Godzilla, it was amazing."

Madison gave a soft sigh as she smiled softly, this was going to be a long day indeed.
