Author's Note
As with A God Incarnate, this final chapter is not a part of the story. It is divided into two parts: a list of the various songs I listened to (all composed by Shiro Sagisu) to help me write and visualize scenes, and various references to pieces of Godzilla lore I adapted for the story.
The songs come from seven sources: the second and third soundtrack albums for the original TV show, the original soundtracks for the three currently released Rebuild movies, the soundtrack from Shin Godzilla, and the soundtrack from The End of Evangelion.
If you aren't interested in any of that, skip to the end of the chapter where I have an announcement to make.

-Planet X (and its native Xilien race) are taken from the 1965 Godzilla film 'Invasion of Astro-Monster', where Ghidorah fought Godzilla and Rodan. The Xiliens would return in the 2004 film 'Godzilla: Final Wars'.
-Desghidorah appeared in the 1996 film 'Rebirth of Mothra'.
-Keizer Ghidorah appeared in 'Godzilla: Finals Wars' as an evolution of Monster X.
-Gigan first appeared in the 1972 film 'Godzilla vs. Gigan' as a pawn of the M Space Hunter Nebula Aliens, and actually fought alongside Ghidorah, whereas here, he battles him to the death.
-Gigan's teleportation ability comes from the Atari/Pipeworks Godzilla video games.
-Miki Saegesu first appeared in the 1989 film 'Godzilla vs. Biollante' and would go on to become the human character with the most appearances in the entire franchise, appearing in six Godzilla films from 1989-1995. In those movies, she was psychic, which I referenced here by having her be an ecological neurologist.
-Daisuke Serizawa appeared in the original 1954 Godzilla film as a scientist who creates the Oxygen Destroyer, the weapon that ends up killing Godzilla. He would go on to be referenced by name with the character Ishiro Serizawa in the Legendary Monsterverse films 'Godzilla' and 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' from 2014 and 2019 respectively.
-Biollante comes from the film 'Godzilla vs. Biollante' where she was created using plant cells, Godzilla cells, and the soul of a young girl. Obviously, her creation is completely different here.

-The pterosaur monster that Shinji sees at the end of Chapter 11 is in fact Rodan, who will appear in full in King of the Monsters.
Announcement
I've decided to delay the first chapter of King of the Monsters to next week, so if anyone was looking forward to that, I apologize. I've been struggling with motivation to write for Evangelion X Godzilla, so after Chapter 1 of King of the Monsters is uploaded next Friday night, I'm going to be dropping the weekly upload schedule in hopes that the finished chapters will be of a higher quality. I won't be dropping my weekly schedule for my Attack on Titan X Godzilla story though, as right now I'm just a lot more motivated to write for it (the fact that a trailer for season 4 of Attack on Titan dropped today, confirming that its release is still on schedule, while Evangelion 3.0+1.0 has been delayed indefinitely, certainly doesn't help matters.) Ultimately, I want to deliver a story to you guys that I can be proud of, and if I force myself to push out chapters, then the quality will suffer.
Thanks again to all of you that have stuck with this story so far, it seriously means a lot to me.
