Part of the ( kaijushippingverse) story on tumblr.
As expected, I don't really care about the humans on Godzilla movies, so I'm sorry if this is not really that good, I just wanted to see things from the human's point of view...
This is an alternative version of the movie, in which Ghidorah yielded and nobody of the main characters died during the Boston battle.
(Sadly Doc Serizawa and Dr. Vivienne are still dead here)
The Queen returns to her King
Madison was looking through the photos Monarch had compiled during those last years and she couldn't help but smile, once the image of the King of the Monsters, curled around a big egg appeared on the screen.
After the battle on Boston, when King Ghidorah yielded and left beside Rodan to Isla de Mara, Godzilla had returned to the ocean, alone. He met other of the awakened titans on his way, and it was easy to see by their reactions that all of them were quite confused and shocked by all that had happened there – if it was possible for those creatures to feel and think complexes things such as those. Monarch had the recording of the King leaving to the sea, the other titans bowing low, in respect.
Those creatures were fantastic, that was a fact.
Madison could still be shaken and slightly traumatized from all the things that had happened to her, both in 2014 and just a year ago, but she couldn't help but feel fascinated by those creatures. She once longed to have a normal life, but in a time of monsters, she noticed such thing would never happen.
That was why she was still on Monarch, and why she was allowed to take a look at some of those photos and recordings. Mark Russell had returned to Monarch, and Madison was expecting to be a part of it in the future as well.
Monarch kept their eyes on the titans after they left. Many returned home just as soon as Godzilla left, as if ready to sleep for another thousands of years. Others roamed around and were still being monitored. Godzilla included.
Everyone thought he was going to the bottom of the ocean, to sleep like the others, and rest after the fight. But he didn't do such. He continued swimming, going farther and farther away from land, more and more into the open ocean. And Monarch followed, of course, they did.
After a few days swimming, Godzilla reached an island. It was small and uninhabited; it was barely even noted on maps. They wondered why the king would go there… Till they noticed he was answering to something. And after taking a good look at it they noticed they had already recorded something similar…
It was Mothra.
Monarch had their documents on the moth titan, with all data they had gathered from contact with the egg and also legends of past generations. The twins Chen knew very well about these legends. Mothra was viewed as the goddess of rebirth, returning every time after her death from an egg that she herself laid. But was it possible? Was it true? And how or when had Mothra had the time to lay an egg?
As Godzilla entered the island, Monarch quickly noticed that the king didn't want any humans around. Godzilla angrily looked up at the airplanes, letting out a loud roar, his back plates shinning blue. He was being protective, it was easy to see. Still the humans followed him, until he disappeared inside a large cave.
Of course, that wasn't going to stop Monarch, even though they knew it was best not to mess with Godzilla. They quickly got their smaller drones ready and followed the king.
The cave went down deeply and, once again, Rick had to mention something about the hollow earth and whatever. Madison was there as well, and she watched from the monitors as the drones carefully followed the path of the titan king.
The cave was large and old, covered in stalagmites and stalactites. But the deeper it went, the more it changed, looking more like a temple than a cave. It was another one of those ancient buildings and ruins – that were promptly named "Atlantis" by Monarch – and what a perfect place for a Queen that was.
Standing above what seemed to be gigantic and round altar, was Mothra's egg. It pulsated blue, the energy that came from it, Monarch noticed, seemed sentient. And as Godzilla approached it, the energy wavered here and there, as if calling for the bigger titan.
Godzilla bent over the egg, sniffing it and pressing his snout against it carefully.
Mark quickly noticed Godzilla's change in posture; the way he hunched softly when standing, the lowered shoulders and the tail down, flicking from time to time to the sides. He was pleased and relaxed. And he kept that posture as he climbed on the altar, laying besides the egg, surrounding it with his long tail, forming a protective cover around it.
The King found his Queen.
-o-
The King slept beside the egg for a long time, not minding the drones that entered the cave from time to time. He wasn't as nice to humans though, as if just smelling or hearing them was enough to wake up Godzilla, enraging him for interrupting his sleep – or maybe just his silent moments as he waited for his Queen.
There was never actual silence between them. Even as Godzilla slept, that curious call and the curious answer were always there, going back and forth between the egg and the king.
In the meantime, Monarch studied them, and the other titans. The world was calm. Even if King Ghidorah was still alive, residing on the planet. Apparently both Godzilla and Ghidorah had accepted a truce, and both of them were resting with their beta, recovering from their battle wounds and the fatigue.
Madison had just turned thirteen when there was news from the Queen's cave.
The drones were there to see it, and it reminded Madison of the first time she saw the egg hatch.
It opened slowly, as the gigantic larva poked her head out and pincers cut through the shell. It was just as amazing and beautiful as that day, Madison mentioned to her mother, who agreed.
Mothra finally stretched out for the world. She looked around, as if getting used to her new tiny eyes. And she did take notice of the drones that were there, watching her, but she didn't mind them.
The larva turned to the side, to the gigantic form lying beside her. She let out soft clicks and chirps, calling for her king as she slid out of the rest of her egg.
Two small eyes opened slowly, and Godzilla snorted loudly, before focusing on the larva beside him. Mothra clicked again, coming closer to the king as he raised his head, staring her down.
Godzilla opened his maw, sticking his tongue out and licking Mothra's head like a cat licking its young. Mothra chirped softly and leaned closer, nibbling under the titan's neck. And Godzilla allowed her to cling on him, crawling over him as if he was her furniture. She rested beside his back plates, nibbling on the top of his head.
And the king laid down again, huffing softly.
It was stupid to anthropomorphize animals and describe their faces and instinctive reactions in human terms, but Madison would kick anyone who disagreed with her when saying that, for a moment, it was as if Godzilla was smiling, like a human would do when looking at a loved one.
-o-
It didn't take long for the Queen to change again
In the meantime, she had left the cave and the king. She explored the island and searched for food – though everybody was sure she had had quite a feast with the small aquatic microorganisms that had stuck to Godzilla's body.
As a drone passed her by, she acknowledged it, already knowing what it was this time. She chirped at it. It wasn't a threatening sound, but it also wasn't very friendly. Mark described it as a "warning".
But whenever she left the cave in the morning, she always returned to it, resting on top or besides her king. So they stayed in silence together.
"It's lovable." Dr. Chen mentioned. "She doesn't want to leave her king's side." Her twin sister agreed with her with a smile.
When it was time, Mothra slid down from Godzilla's back and nibbled on him again. He snorted and kept his eyes closed, almost like a kid who didn't want to wake up early. Mothra chirped and clicked loudly, nibbling on him more and more. Only a decisive bite on the tip of his tail seemed to finally force Godzilla to wake up.
He huffed, looking down at the Queen, waggling his tail back and forth, almost hitting her on the process. But it was easy to see he wasn't angry, Mark noted, probably just annoyed.
The giant larva chirped at the king once more, before sliding down the altar, looking back at him as if waiting. Godzilla got up, shook himself and stretched, opening his mouth in a wide almost cat-like yawn, and then followed Mothra.
They left the cave together. Godzilla took notice of the human's equipment watching them and growled. Mothra answered his growl with a loud chirp and the human's who were looking through the screens held back soft laughs as the king turned his face away huffing displeased.
"A man always bends to a woman's will, this seems to expand to more than the human species apparently…!" Sam mentioned and Colonel Diane just made a sound deep on her throat, silencing the man.
Mothra looked around the place, before turning to the king, clicking softly. Godzilla took a look around just as she had done and a deep – but strangely soft – growl went down his chest as he turned back to the Queen.
It was as if they were talking, and every human was paying attention to it, to the pattern of their sounds, their postures, trying to understand the world of the titans in a strangely much more private way than they were ever able to see.
Godzilla snorted and Mothra moved closer, nibbling under his claws, as if trying to make him pat her head. She turned her back to him and climbed down the cave again.
The king watched her go, before turning back to the ocean. He glared up at the drones one last time, and then walked over to the water, disappearing under the dark blue.
Monarch kept around, watching the Queen and the King. Watching as the Queen formed her cocoon and once again put herself to sleep and watching as the King ventured down, around the area.
"Probably to patrol his territory…" Mark mentioned. He could be right, since so many other titans were awake, and with Ghidorah still around…
There was silence on the island.
-o-
Madison was there when the Queen's cocoon opened, and she saw the magnificent form of a newly rebirthed Queen.
Her gigantic wings came out before her body, the details were stunning, even more than the ones before. They still recreated the King's eyes like they did before, and this time it felt more like a tribute to him than an actual natural animal mimicry.
Monarch were still questioning her "rebirth", if it could be called so, but Madison didn't care, and she was sure that Mothra didn't care about the "whys" and "hows" either.
She pulled out of her cocoon, antennae falling in front of her big blue eyes, the fluff around her head seemed even fluffier and she wiggled her legs and pincers as she finally got to use the form she has been working on for so long. She let out a loud trill and then flapped her wings with power and elegance.
The drones back away, almost falling due to the strength the Queen's wings had, and she flew off to the blue sky.
Monarch flew right behind her.
Mothra was just as marvelous on the sky as she was on the ground, flapping colorful wings that reflected the light of the sun, coloring the clouds that she passed by. She trilled as she flew, as if singing a song, but the humans knew it wasn't just a simple song. She was calling.
And there was an answer.
She dived down from the clouds to the ocean.
A head was raised above the dark blue water, eyes turned to the sky.
And as the Queen came down, the King turned around, giant dorsal spines pointing to the air. She flapped her wings and soared, slowly dropping on top of the titan. She trilled again, and he rumbled.
The King turned around and returned to the island, with his Queen always beside him.
