The HEAV enters the hollow earth, the systems, which had glitched out when on its way down, had very quickly returned, allowing the ship to take flight once more, weaving through the ocean of floating rocks.

As it lowers down to one end of the land, it trails behind Kong, who was already on the run.

automated voice: "Flight systems active. Systems stabilized"

Mikael: "All systems good, Doc"

Trapper: "How’s everyone doing? You all right?"

Ilene: "Never better"

Trapper: "Yeah? Bernie, you good?"

Holding onto himself for dear life, turns to trapper slowly, and gives a thumbs up. The second trapper looked away, Bernie dropped it, and looked on even more terrified.

Trapper: "what about you kid?"

Y/n: "glowing..."

Y/n groans, and fell down to the floor, that blue glow now mixed with green. As in the back of his clothes were more tares.

Y/n: "and sore.. imma take a nap.. wake me up when we land"

Meanwhile, kong was treking through hollow earth like he usually does. The HEAV flying alongside him.

Ilene: "Looks like Kong is headed home. How far to the outpost?"

Mikael: "Hundred klicks. They’re still not answering comms"

automated voice: "Proximity alert"

Mikael: "Predators, nine o’clock"

Bernie: "Where? What?"

Off to the side of the HEAV, large flying creatures are seen. Black with yellow, almost tiger-like, stripes.

Trapper: "Those are vertacines, Mikael. They’re called vertacines"

Mikael: "Um, are they a problem?"

Trapper: "No. They’re totally harmless. Unless you get ’em riled up, and then they pack about a lightning bolt worth of bio electricity. Predators know to stay well away. Which makes them the perfect chaperone if you happen to have a cool biomimicry camouflage"

Trapper taps away on the screen in front of him

Trapper: "Which we do"

The HEAVs shielding sparks with energy, as it changes color, gaining the pattern of the vertacines.

Y/n opens his eyes, looking around, before realizing...

Y/n: "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"

Godzilla: "NOT THE TIME CHILD"

Y/n looked on, seeing himself as the energy spectral version of himself in Godzilla's shoulder, as the king himself was absorbing the radiation from a nuclear powerplant.

Y/n: "godzilla, what are you doing?! Please tell me!"

Godzilla stops for a moment, and looked at his shoulder, seeing the energy spectral that formed y/n was pulsing a slight green.

Godzilla: "something beneficial for both of us"

Y/n: "wha-"

Before he could continue, remote drones fly towards them. Godzilla, seeing them, gave a frustrated roar.

Y/n: "Oh no..."

The drones fired their missiles, which, as usual, do nothing to the big guy. The drones fly by, and start circling Godzilla.

Godzilla: "insects.."

Godzilla, now much more furious, went on the offensive, and smacked one drone out the air like, in his own words, an insect.

The drones continue to pelt Godzilla with missiles, making both him, and y/n more frustrated. Godzilla reaches into the air, and crushed another drone with his claws.

Godzilla: "tch.. new strategy.."

Y/n: "huh?"

Godzilla: "brace yourself boy"

Y/n: "how?!"

Godzilla growls, as his blue energy starts to build up, sounding like his atomic breath. But, instead of a beam like usual, it was a large pulse. An EMP pulse at that. That wave of the pulse would shut down all the drones, as Godzilla roars in a mocking way.

However, that pulse would also push y/n out of Godzilla's head, bringing him back to his own body, which was still in the HEAV vehicle.

As he came to, Hampton was on the front screen, explaining what Godzilla was doing. However, it cuts off.

automated voice: "Out of range"

Ilene: "Damn it"

Y/n: "big G is being very cryptic.. so don't look at me.."

Mikael: "We’re coming up on Outpost One"

The HEAV pulls out of the flock of vertacines as they got closer. However, when it steadies again...

Mikael: "Oh, God.."

Bernie: "Oh, well, now. That doesn’t look good now, does it?"

Ahead of them, a pillar of smoke coming from the ground level.

Mikael: "You seeing this, Doc?"

Ilene: "Yeah. Yeah, I’m seeing it"

Y/n sits up, and looks on as well.

Y/n: "we know why they aren't responding now.."

The HEAV approaches, and lands down on the ground, the camouflage disappearing as well. As they all got off the HEAV, Mikael grabs one of the guns, leading ilene, trapper, who took off the suit, and y/n, who took off the top half of the suit, off the vehicle.

The hollow earth base was in shambles.. and as Mikael held up a tablet, it revealed that there weren't any survivors..

Mikael: "Well, there’s no heat signatures. So much for survivors"

Ilene: "God, have some respect. These people had families.. What could have done this?"

Y/n: "something big?"

Ilene: "I don’t understand, we’ve had this outpost for years without incident. So, why attack now? What changed?"

Trapper digs through some debris, before pulling something out.

Trapper: "Hey, Doc. There’s a camera here. You reckon you can pull any footage off of that?"

As trapper brings the camera to Ilene, she looks up behind him, seeing something.. terrifying.

Ilene: "Oh, shit.."

They all turn towards it, seeing a giant red hand print on the stone mountain wall..

Mikael: "You think Kong did that?"

Y/n: "no... That's something more... Aggressive"

Trapper: "Yeah. Let’s get off the ground before that something more comes back"

Mikael: "Saddle up. Let’s hustle"

The four then quickly rush back to the HEAV.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Meanwhile, the big ape himself swings down to the den he had called home. As he lands, he looks around oddly, but is drawn away by the sound of a loud, distant roar.

Hearing it, Kong walked up to a large, out of place rock, and rolls it to the side. Behind it was his Godzilla dorsal plate axe.

He quickly grabs it, and marches off towards his hunting ground.

As he arrives, he looks down to see the narrow path he uses as a trap had been caved in, a blue glow forming from it.

Kong steps to the edge, and looks down at the new cavern, intrigued. Not thinking any longer, the ape decides to investigate, and leaps into the cavern, digging the axe into the crystalline walls to slow his descent.

He'd soon make it down to the bottom. It was dark. The only light being the one from above where the ape had come from.

As he rose up, the axe began to glow. Kong noticed that one of the hanging crystals was also glowing. He looked between it and the axe, then lifts the axe towards the axe.

When he did, the axe flows brighter, as every crystal it was held towards started to glow as well.

As light began to fill the area, it revealed something... Disturbing. Especially to kong. Scattering the entire area, and it several piles, were bones. Titanus ape bones...

Kong groans upset at the sight, when suddenly, a loud roar was heard once again. Kong turned to where it came from, seeing a circular opening hidden with a waterfall.

Kong walks through the waterfall, and arrives somewhere new...

Subterranean Realm.
Uncharted area.

As Kong walked on to explore, he noticed something in the heavy fog.

A tall, lanky figure. It moved closer to Kong, as the ape bared his axe, ready to fight.

However, as it got closer, it shrunk. It was a trick of the light. And the real figure was a small(to Kong) orange ape...

Kong, seeing another ape, gasped.. he lowered the axe, as his hardened face softened.

Kong lowers himself to a knee to not scare the small ape, but seeing Kong move in general made him jump back.

To ensure that the smaller ape is safe, Kong sets down his axe, and held out his hand.

The small ape in he's closer, reaching out to Kongs hand...

Kong found another of his kind.. he's no longer alone!-

The small ape's face turned angered, and bites Kongs finger. Kong pulled back his hand, roaring in pain. He looked between his hand and the small ape, which snarled, and ran away.

Kong, rightfully pissed, grabbed his axe, and ran after the little shit. However, as he runs out from under an overpass, something lands behind him. Kong skids to a halt, using his axe to slow himself as he turned around.

Before him was another ape. This one looking much more chimpanzee-like.

Kong looks in awe, but the chimp grinned, when suddenly two more apes leaps at Kong, and pins him to the ground.

Kongs axe slides across the ground, as stone face and catcher(yes, the actual names of those apes) keep Kong pinned down.

The chimp, named one eye, bared his club, which was just a giant bone, and cracks his neck, forming a grin.

Kong, with struggle, grabbed a rock from the ground, he smashed it into stone face's face, which let Kong stand up. Catcher though held Kong in a head lock.

One eye rushed forward, and swings his club. But Kong bends down, making one eye smack catcher off of Kong.

Kong then lifts his fist, and bashed it into the back of one eyes head. The moment Kong turned around, stone face held up his own club, ready to swing it down on him.

Kong grabs it, and roared, holding it with both hands, and swings stone face around, and into catcher.

When he did, he saw one eye charge at him just as stone face did. But with the axe instead of his own club.

But Kong, still holding stone face's club, smacks it into one eye, knocking him away, and making him drop the axe.

Kong picks up his weapon, while dropping the other one. The second he stood up again, the small ape, suko, leaps at Kong, and grabs onto his face, clawing and snapping at it, making Kong drop his axe once again.

However, Kong grabs suko by the foot, and drags him across the ground. Noticing stone face run at him, Kong swings suko across his face, knocking him down. Catcher than charged as well, but just like stone face, Kong smacks suko across the apes face. One eye ran at him too, but Kong kicks back, letting the much more built ape throw suko into the weaker apes face, making both go flying.

Stone face leaps at Kong, but Kong punched stone face into the ground, where he lifts his arms, and bashed them into his skull. He was going for another punch, but catcher leaps in, and pulled Kong away from him. But he went rolling off the side of a cliff, unable to catch himself-

But Kong does. Kong grabbed catcher. Catcher looked down, before looking at Kong shocked.. Kong, despite fighting them, doesn't want to kill his own kind unlike they give him a genuine reason to.

As Kong pulled catcher up, the two stumbled to a knee. But catcher grabbed a knife, and swung it at Kong. But Kong grabs his arm, and pushed him back, before kicking the smaller ape off the cliff... Being given a genuine reason...

Kong then growls, and turns around, as one eye looked at Kong, before looking around. Kong had just killed catcher, and stone face was seemingly beaten to death. Seeing no other option, he turns, and ran.

Kong scoffed, and grabbed a rock from the ground. If there's one thing that long is better at that physical combat, it's his damn good aim.

Lobbing the rock into the air, he nails one eye in the back of the skull. An audible "bonk" is heard. One eye flops down onto his back. He pulled himself back up, and shakes his head, before growling, and running off.

Back with kong, the ape groans, clenching his fist. However, the trees next to him began to rustle. Reaching in, he pulled out suko, who was swinging his arms to escape his grasp.

But Kong roughly threw the small ape to the ground, and roared at him. Suko stood up, and covered his face from the roar... Muscle memory..

Seeing as such, Kong softened, and kneels down, picking up the knife, and held it out to suko, giving a soft snarl.

Suko, thinking Kong would do something bad, flinched back, and whimpers. But he steels himself, and snarls back in refusal.

Kong, now a bit more frustrated, stomps forward, and roared, holding out the knife.

Suko squawks in response, pointing off to the distance. Kong then snarls. Suko then walked off solemnly, looking over his shoulder every other second, as Kong picked up his axe, and dropped the knife, following behind suko.
