Author's Note: Hi guys! Sorry for the long wait, June was a horrible month for me and the whole family as my Mom passed away-Not form the virus-and we've been healing form this tragedy.

But now me and Lord Primeval will try to get this story back on track. And to make up for the absence here is Chapter 6.

Enjoy!


Chapter 6: The Journey part 2

Cape Helos, a busy city on the western coast of Marely, was once a major metropolis. What was just yesterday a vacationer's paradise has now become a warzone.

People panicked and ran in the streets like a swarm of rats as the pair of monsters fought. A Bagorah and Manda tussled in a territorial squabble.

The Manda had tried challenging Rodan back on Paradis a week prior and failed. Now he had found a new hunting ground here, and he refused to let Bagorah step in.

Biting, thrashing, and clawing, neither let up as the buildings beside them came crashing down. The Bagorah had the flight advantage, but Manda made up for it in pure ferocity as he continually struck with rapid speed.

As the brawl kept escalating a dark cloud approached above the sea. Crackles of thunder got closer and closer as the two combatants finally took notice.

From the depths a figure emerged. Its identity confirmed by the large spines and its intimidating form as it rose form the sea...

Godzilla?

Without paying the monsters any mind, he stomped onto the shoreline as his large jagged bone-like spines glowed an erie white as red sparks crackled from them, then without hesitating he began letting his heat ray loose upon the city.

The pair of Kaiju looked in disbelief. This creature did look like the Great Predator, the king of the monsters, but what is he doing here? Where has he been? Why is he just demolishing at random? And why does he look so different?

While Bagorah stood dumbfounded Manda decided to take an opportunity. He figured if he could take down this behemoth it would establish the serpent's place as this area's alpha.

Slithering past apartment buildings, Manda made his way to the so-called Great Predator. He snuck up on front of the saurian and puffed himself up in an erect stance to issue his challenge. But he didn't even react, making his way past the snake like he didn't even see it as he continued his rampage.

Manda became enraged over this and lunged at the towering reptile. He began coiling and biting Godzilla as he kept launching his beams at the human structures.

Manda made his way up Godzilla's neck, constricting his thick throat. As the snake coiled the Great Predator's beams shrank until only hot steam leaked out of his maw as the serpent wrapped tighter.

This is what got Godzilla's attention. He grabbed onto Manda's head, digging his sharp claws deep into the strangler's flesh. The pain forced Manda to loosen his grip, but Godzilla's stayed.

The Great Predator brought Manda's face to his level. Fear struck the serpent as he looked straight into the dinosaur's milky white eyes.

The lightning began to strike Godzilla's dorsal plates as they slowly glowed along with the mark on his chest.

Without taking his eyes off his victim the monster monarch opened his jaws to unleash a massive radioactive burst right into Manda's face, burning the snake's face to a crisp.

Tossing the corpse aside Godzilla turned to stare down the onlooking Bagorah.

GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN!

With that roar, the giant bat took off in terror as the Great Predator continued his path of distraction without any further interruptions.


It had been a full day at sea. The Gotengo was quiet as everyone was awaiting the first sign of land.

Luckily for them, today was the day.

"Sir," Miyuki said. "I'm detecting a possible landmass. 30 degrees northward."

"About time," the captain said. "Wake up Hernandez please."

Moll saluted. A few hours after they went downward, she placed him into a semi lucid trance, mostly to avoid him panicking. With a simple touch she brought him to full awareness.

"Wha-what? Where'd the beach go?" Randy said coming back to reality.

"30 Degrees north, full scan now!" Gordon barked.

The computer technician went to work right away. After a minute or so a rough digital sketch speared on the main screen. It was a set of small islands. Put together they would only make a little over half the landmass of Paradis.

"Incredible," Miyuki said. "If you flip the image it looks just like...the Galapagos."

"What's that?" Armin asked.

"A set of islands in our world," she replied. "It's were a scientist called Charles Darwin made-"

"Whoa! Whoa!" Randy interrupted. "I don't think they're ready for that one. Think of the public schools!"

"Mr. Arlert," Gordon said. "Which is our best bet for landfall?"

Armin rose up to the screen.

"I'd say here," he said as he pointed. "The passageway is larger to give room forward and back motion. There's more shoreline to work with."

"In that case," Captain Gordon placed his hand on the Com button.

"Attention! Attention! We will be making landfall in forty minutes. All prep team members ready your positions. Repeat: all prep team members into position!"


Inside the cargo bay Lora heard the announcement. She was glad to hear it. All night she crouched in this crate, trying to contact Moll. Oddly none of her attempts to talk to her telepathically went through at all. All she got was a small buzzing noise.

As predicted, the Gotengo breached the waves a short while later. Prep teams got the ramps up and anchor secured. After another ten minutes the ok was given to set foot.

As the main crew went out, whatever daydreams they had onboard were mashed into a pulp when they saw the reality. Instead of some green wonderland they saw dead trees as far as the eye could see.

Despite how things looked the mission continued. Captain Gordon set groups out to explore this archipelago to gather information. Soil analysis, wildlife surveys, full scale sweep across this new land to find something salvageable.

No stone was to be left unturned before they turned back.

Back in the cargo-hold, Lora finally lost her patience. She walked out, completely unnoticed thanks to her 'talents.'

After getting out and seeing the less then spectacular scenery, she started concentrating on Moll, trying to locate her.

After an hour of following her signal into the thick dead forest she deciding to rest. It was exulting to focus that long.

She sat on a stone to relax.

Not too far from her location, one of the search groups (consisting of Eren, Armin, Moll, and a few crew members they weren't on a name basis with) conducting a survey.

Eren used his 3-D gear to hop from tree to tree. He was doing his duty, but truth be told he took the opportunity to just let it all sink in. Changes, positive and negative, just flooded his brain. It seemed like every time things were finally going right something had to bring him back to status quo.

The Great Predator comes, then a swarm of monsters. Still they found a way around that and then an invasion happens. Then peace happens finally, but it can't last. And worst of all he doesn't know what to do about Mikasa growing more and more distant.

Feeling an irritation, he pulls off his glove to reveal another scaly patch on the back of his hand. Its dark scales glistening a golden glimmer in the tropical sun.

Maybe he hasn't been all that open either.

Why does all the weird stuff happen to me anyway? He thought.

As he stewed in his head, the rest of his team continued the search. Moll sat and meditated to try and locate any life on this island. She only could pick up two, filtering out members of the crew.

One signal was definitely animalistic, but hard to pinpoint. The second was oddly familiar.

Really familiar...

Too familiar...

Lora?! She said internally.

In suspicion she ran off, making sure none of her teammates noticed. As she used her gear to zip across the dead trees her thoughts raced; What is she doing here? How did she get here? Why didn't she sense her on the ship?


Come on Moll! Lora concentrated her mind. I know you can hear me. I swear if you've been knowingly blocking me I-wait what's this... feeling?

Lora opened her eyes and turned around. She noticed something large and unmoving behind a few dead vines not too far away from her. It wasn't anything living, and yet it seemef to call out to her.

Slowly she got up from her stone seat and walked towards it. As she reached her hand out, Moll landed right behind her.

"Lora?!" Moll shouted to her sister.

This surprised Lora, causing her to stumble and fall. On the ground with her back towards the vine patch she faced her sister.

"What the HELL are you doing here?!" Moll demanded.

"I ju-"

"Does Miss Seagusa even-?" Moll started, only to interrupt herself. "Oh, of course you didn't tell her..."

"That doesn't matter," Lora spoke up. "We-"

"You used mind tricks to keep hidden, didn't you?"

Lora lowered her head and blushed. Moll started to get steamed up.

"Do you realize just how stupid this was?" She yelled, "Throwing away EVERYTHING Miss Seagusa taught us, putting yourself in danger, and all that...for..."

Moll's rage subsided and was quickly replaced with curiosity. A patch of stone was exposed on the structure her sister was leaning on, no doubt by Lora's arm movements during their conversation.

Moving Lora aside she took a closer look. It looked as though there might be writing.

Lora got up in a huff as Moll took out her blade and began cutting away at the old vines.

As much as she wanted to tell at her sister, Lora's gaze turned to the other stones around her. They seemed oddly organized, as if a structure once stood here and was destroyed by the forces of time.

"This place," Lora whispered, feeling as if she was in a church. "It feels…familiar."

"Moll?" Lora asked, keeping her sights on the stones.

"Yes?" Moll answered as she hacked away.

"We've never been here before, right?"

"Of course we haven't."

"Then why does this place seem familiar?"

"I don't know, Lora. Perhaps It's... Oh my..."

Lora was getting spooked by her twin's silence and went to investigate. She stopped by Moll's right, suddenly seeing why her sibling was so quiet.

The stone was shaped like an alter, covered in symbols carved elegantly. On the alter's top, half embedded into the rock, was a tablet.

Looking upon the artifact caused the twins a sense of unease. The writing on it was familiar, but what hit them the hardest was the symbol that topped the inscriptions: a circular motif with a cross in its center, with lines simulating rays of light.

Memories flooded their heads as they stated, not just from their childhood, but dreams as well. Lora leaned in closer as Moll backed away, turning back as she tried to collect herself.

"This," Lora said. "It looks just like her's."

"I know," Moll groaned.

"And I saw this in my-"

"I. KNOW!" Moll grunted, turning to her sister in frustration.

She saw how startled Lora was and began to recollect herself.

"You were right Lora," she sighed. "I had the dream too."

For a brief moment Lora's spirits were lifted by this moment of bonding, but the effect faded when the seriousness of the situation kicked in.

"Miss Seagusa needs to see this," she said.

Moll nodded. Using her blade again, she began to pry the tablet from the alter. Coming loose, Lora placed her hand on the corner of the stone to pull.

Suddenly Lora's head was flooded with images...

Chanting...

Large teeth...

Orange and yellow...

Blue stripes...

Deep jungle...

Fleeing Titans...

Dark scales...

A deep cavern...

Banning drums...

Golden dust...

Blue and green...

The time draws near...

Come, awaken her.

Back to reality, she pulled out the tablet, gasping for air.

"Please tell me I wasn't the only one who saw that," Lora asked Moll.

Before Moll could answer the ground shook. A hundred feet in front of them the ashen ground began to part as a large, armored claw felt around for the edge. A second claw emerged, pulling the monster's weight to the surface.

The Kaiju crab Ganimes roared at the twins, intending to eat them.

"Lora," Moll said sternly. "Get the tablet back to the ship. Don't let anyone find you. I'll hold it off."

"But-"

"NOW LORA!"

Before her sister could argue Moll rushed off, blasting off with her 3-D gear towards the dead forest. Jetting and grappling between trees, she launched herself into Ganamies' right eye.

Once she realized the crab was distracted, Lora took off for the Gotengo.

Moll kept her distance, avoiding swipes from the creature's claw. Again and again, the invertebrate swung and missed his target.

She hid herself behind a tree, ready for a surprise attack. Unfortunately, she noticed something; her tank was dangerously light. Checking the meter, she only had enough for one more burst.

Damn it! She thought, I can't keep him off me forever. I can sense he's hungry. Need to keep him at bay long enough to escape...

She then got an idea.

Turning towards the confused crustacean she focused herself. In one concentrated effort and delivered a psychic slap at Ganamies, causing him to stumble backwards in pain.

Not wasting her chance, she used her gear to grapple the farthest tree she could pulling herself away, granting her a head start as she ran away from the armored predator.

After a minute or two the pain subsided, leaving Ganamies to dart around for the tiny morsel that got away.

It didn't take long for him to chase after her.


Closer to base, the survey groups converged at the randevu site. Various samples were brought to analyzed by Hernandez and his equipment. After an hour he reached his conclusion.

"Well amigos it's official…this place is dead as a door nail," Randy motioned to everything around him.

Mikasa dug her hand into the soil sample on the table, feeling more like ash.

"Wonder what happened here?"

"Hmm. If I had to guess, this was either the cause of a large natural fire. Or a man-made one," Miyuki observed.

"Man made?" Armin asked.

"You already know people cut down trees for wood to make houses, paper, and all sorts of things. If Marley's as advanced as Yeager's notes say, then maybe they crossed paths here."

"She's r-r-right on th-that," Sanda added. "B-b-but this place l-l-l-looks like it's b-b-been this way f-f-f-for a long t-t-time."

Miyuki sighed. "You might be right. It had to have been at least a century to leave this kind of damage."

"So, what do you think could have done this?" Eren asked.

Jean shrugged.

"Moll what do you think?"

Jean turned but Moll was nowhere in sight.

"Moll?"

The others turned around to not seeing Moll anywhere.

"W-w-where is sh-sh-she?" Sanda asked getting worried.

HELP!

Moll's voice echoed in their ears as well as images of her running from Ganimes through stone ruins.

"Did everyone see that?" Randy asked.

His answer came when Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Jean and Sanda used their 3D-Gears and headed in the direction that Moll gave.

"I'll inform the Captain," Miyuki started heading back to the Gotengo while Randy watched the others go.

"Man, I gotta try those things!"


Moll ran into the thick, dead forest while trying to avoid the Ganimes. The Kaiju crab started knocking down each of structures in search of its prey.

The creature stopped suddenly, despite being in prime position to strike. Moll knew it was Lora using her telepathy in the distance.

Lora, Moll said telepathically. I can handle this!

Shouldn't you be slicing at that thing? Her sister replied.

I would but I used up all my gas, Moll said while glaring.

Well, don't blame me!

I blame you!

Suddenly, the crab broke the spell over it and launched its claw. Moll quickly moved away as the Ganimes destroyed the surrounding trees.

The Ganimes slammed its claws down, causing the ground to shake, knocking the telepath down. As the kaiju crab was about to quickly feast on its prey, a brown blur rammed into it, pushing it away.

The attacker was Sanda in his Titan form. He roared at the giant crab as it stood back up and roared back in a challenge.

Thank Deliverance your boyfriend's here! Lora told her sister inside her head.

Lora, Moll replied in a serious tone. Get. To. The. SHIP!

Then Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and Jean landed right by her.

"Are you okay? Armin said while checking on them for wounds.

"Yeah I'm fine," Moll said standing up. "But my gear is out of gas, I don't suppose you guys brought spares?"

Eren shook his head. "No, but I don't think we'll be needing it."

He pointed to Sanda as he started beating the giant crab to a pulp.

"Gotengo to scouts, do you read me?" Miyuki's voice started coming out of Mikasa's coat pocket. Mikasa pulled a walkie talkie out.

"Those things still creep me out," Jean shivered. A voice coming out of a metal box…so unnatural.

Mikasa pushed a button and placed it by her ear.

"We've found Moll. Sanda is fighting a giant crab."

"Did you say the kaiju is a crab?"

"Yes." Eren respond to the device while Mikasa turned away from him. Eren noticed it but kept his cool.

"Why, is that bad?"

"That depends on the type of crab it is." Miyuki answered. "Some species of crabs tend to live in a cast."

"A cast?" Armin asked.

"Yes, a cast of crabs is similar to a herd or a pack."

Just as Sanda was about to finish his foe off, the ground started shaking again. More of the foundation started to crumble as five more Ganimes rose up from the ground and headed straight towards the attacker of their cast member.

Sanda was about to run right towards them but just as his back was turned, the down Ganimes stabbed its claw through his right leg allowing the rest to dogpile the Titan shifter.

"Come on!" Eren shouted as he and the rest (with the exception of Moll) activated their 3D-Gears and headed to save their friend.

Mikasa ziplined through the forest as she started her breathing exercises while nearing the first Ganimes. She pulled her blade, ready to slash its back but when the bald made contact it shattered.

The same thing happened to the rest. As soon as their blades hit the Ganimes's carapace, their tool shattered.

"Shit!" Jean cursed. "Now what?!"

Eren held up his hand.

"Now me."

Then he bit his hand, activating the transformation.

The bright light caused the cast of Ganimes to stop their attack as the Attack Titan's body started forming.

Since after the battle with King Ghidorah, the appearance of the Attack Titan has changed, (Due to Eren accidentally eating a piece of Godzilla's flesh and then devouring Ghidorah's middle head.)

The body's height is 40 meters tall and its skin color remains, but sports green around the arms and his back, which is covered with small armored dorsal plates. The Attack Titan also has talons on both hands and feet.

The Attack Titan glared at the Ganimes with his eyes flashing from green to orange, then let out a roar that fused his titan roar with that of Godzilla and charged at them.

The Ganimes Cast charged at their prey. Fools, they were his. The Attack Titan punched through one of the Ganimes like it was made of paper.

The giant crustaceans tried to pile up onto their attacker, but the Attack Titan was much too strong for them to overpower.

"Been awhile since we've seen Eren in Titan action," Jean said.

"He hasn't needed to for a long time," Armin answered. "Almost forgot the change he went thorough fighting King-"

Jean quickly covered Armin's mouth.

"Hey! Don't mention that name around Mikasa," Jean whispered.

Speaking of Mikasa, while everyone marveled at Eren's near victory, her expression was slowly turning into terror. For what the rest may not notice was that surrounding the sides around the Attack Titan's stomach were golden scales and on the back of his head hidden by his hair were six horns.

Mikasa instantly dropped her blades, causing Jean to let go of Armin's mouth and look at her.

"Mikasa?" Jean asked in concern but she didn't respond as she kept staring in horror.

As Eren was finishing off one of the crab kaiju, she saw his's eyes flash once again from green, to orange, and then it changed to red. The color of Ghidorah's eyes. And instead of Eren's titan form in his place stands King Ghidorah glaring at her.

"Miss me, Mikasa?"

For the first time in a long time. Mikasa screamed in terror.

Eren stopped his attack when he heard her and everyone looked at her in shock. They heard screams like this many times in their lives, but never from Mikasa.

Then the scream died as she fainted.

Distracted, a Ganamies claw dug deep into Eren's shoulder. As he called out in pain, Sanda lunged at the behemoth invertebrate to free him. Holding it back, Sanda nodded to Eren, signaling to go ahead and check on Mikasa.

Eren nodded back, clawing the nape of his neck to free himself from his Titan body as Sanda continued to fight. Yeager started running towards her while a barley alive Ganimes fled in fear.

Jean managed to quickly pick her from the ground. Everyone started surrounding them just as Eren joined them.

"What happened to her?" Eren said trying to get closer. "Why'd she scream? Wha-"

"Everyone, get back!" Jean shouted while carefully holding her. "Give her some air!"

"What's going on? What happened?"

Miyuki's voice echoed from the device just as Sanda was exiting his Titan body.

"M-M-Mikasa's f-f-fainted." He answered in the device.

"Wow, Miss stone face fainted?" Randy spoke through the talkie. "I didn't think she could do that."

Moll kneeled towards Mikasa, and closed her eyes, her face twitched a bit then she sighed in relief.

"Don't worry, she's alright. Just another panic attack."

"But I thought she was over those," Jean said.

"Panic attacks?" Eren said shocked. "When did she have those?"

"Now is not the time," Moll said. "I think it's best we get back to the Gotengo right now."

The group agreed and began to head off.

Eren watched as Sanda helped Jean pick Mikasa up so he could carry her.

"Hey, Jean," Eren started. "Let me-"

"No, Yeager I got her," Jean answered quickly if a little protective.

Eren was about to object but Armin placed his hand on his shoulder and shook his head. Eren watched the others continue on as he stayed in the back just in case of any other surprises on this island.


Lora was far enough away to slip by unnoticed. She looked back, seeing the group tending to Mikasa.

As much as she wanted to contact Moll to try and check in on the situation, she knew her sister would just tell her to run to the ship.

Seeing the goalpost ahead of her she bolted...only for something to take hold of her collar.

The force caused the tablet to fly out of her hand, snapping into three pieces as it landed on the rocky ground.

Lora turned, looking into the eyes of her captor...Captain Gordon.

Without taking his eyes off her he answered a call on his communicator.

"Captain," the voice responded. "We have an injury in the field. Hostile creatures encountered, but the team drove them off. Over."

"Is Moll with them?"

"Affirmative."

"Good," the Captain growled. "I want to see her right away."

Lora gulped. She just put both of them in hot water.
