Commander Ikari groaned when he and the technicians inside the command center watched the arrival of King Gidorah.
"Of all the horrible things that could have happened, that monster is the menace we'd need the least..."
"Well, at least it looks like Godzilla and Mothra are going to join each other in battling him," a technician spoke up. "I just wonder for what reason Gidorah came to our planet this time... you think he's controlled by aliens again?"
"Let's not meet trouble halfway," Gendo said. "Okay, so Mothra and Godzilla are fighting the bigger menace, fine with me... what's our pilot doing?"
"Um... he's crying softly."
Gendo reached for the aspirin. "Why?" he sighed, without even looking up.
"Well... MechaGodzilla and King Gidorah's left head are discussing clothes prizes instead of fighting..."
Gendo took another aspirin.
Meanwhile, Setsuna felt like she could need an entire truckload of aspirin.
"Screw this..." she grumbled. "I need a drink..." And instead for the medicine chest, she reached for the alcohol cabinet, pulling out the biggest bottle of port wine she could fine.
After taking a big swig, she felt motivated enough to take another look at the disaster in front off her.
"If Mothra has inherited Sailor Moon's powers... and Godzilla Tuxedo Kamen's... what in the world is Luna doing right now?"
It only took her a few minutes to track down the black feline.
Setsuna sighed when she saw how Luna was sitting with the priestesses of Mothra, trying to explain to them who she was looking for and that she believed the huge moth to be this 'person'.
"At least that will be taken care of..." Setsuna muttered. "Hopefully the priestesses will be able to break these news to Mothra gently... now where is Artemis?"
After switching through several channels, she found Artemis on Monster Island... chatting peacefully with the adopted son of Godzilla, Godzilla Junior, or, as many also called him, Minilla.
Setsuna felt another headache coming and took another swig of her bottle.
"So... my Dad is the protector of Earth?" Junior asked. He was talking with small roars and growls, of course, but Artemis was somehow able to understand him.
"Well, you've known that already, but it's much more than that. Within your father rests the soul of a former prince of Earth... a human prince..."
Junior scratched his head in confusion. "So... what you are trying to tell me is that... Dad was a human once? Then why did he turn into a huge dinosaur?"
"No, I mean, in a former life," Artemis tried to explain to the immature kaiju. "Before he was born as Godzilla, he had led many other lives in previous incarnations... and his most important one was that of Prince Endymion of Earth, get it?"
"I... think so..." Junior muttered. "So, does that mean Dad will have to wear a crown now?"
Artemis grimaced at the image of the huge, mutated lizard, sitting on a throne that was as big as Mt. Fuji and wearing an abnormally large crown on his head.
"Well... I think we will come up with something..." the white Mau muttered. "Even more so if we want to ensure the future of Small Lady..."
"Who's that?" Junior wondered.
"Small Lady Usagi Serenity of Crystal Tokyo, the future daughter of King Endymion and Neo-Queen Serenity..."
A big grin appeared on Junior's reptilian face. "I'm gonna have a little sister?"
Artemis suddenly realized what he had said and covered his muzzle with his front paws. "Oh nonononono, forget what I've said..."
"I'm gonna have a little sister," Junior sang and danced around in circles, crushing small trees underneath his scaly feet. "Hooray, I'm gonna have a little sister!"
"What are you so excited about?" someone asked from up above.
Artemis looked like he was ready to jump out of his fur when he saw the giant, bird-like kaiju perching on the mountaintop close to them. "A giant monster! Junior, run away..."
"Aw, that's just Rodan," Junior grinned. "Rodan, did you hear? I'm gonna have a sister!"
The female pteranodon frowned. "Huh? Why would you think that?"
"He told me!" Junior grinned and pointed at the white cat in front of him (Artemis tried to make himself as small as possible). "He said that my Dad and Mothra are gonna marry and have a lil' baby girl... and I'm gonna teach her how to blow radioactive smoke rings after she hatches."
Rodan's eyes were slowly turning red. "A baby?" she whispered. "From that ugly bug? NEVER! I'll never allow it, you hear me? I'd rather ask Godzilla if he wants to have a child with me! Oh, I'm so gonna peck her eyes out the next time I see her..."
Just then, a pair of beautiful, human women appeared, together with a second cat. "Artemis, I've got great news!" she smiled. "I've talked to Mothra's priestesses, and they promised they would do anything in their power to help me fulfil Serenity's destiny. Isn't that great?" She then noticed that Artemis was in the presence of two rather big kaiju, one of them a bit smaller than the other. "Um... is something wrong?"
"Is it true?" Rodan screeched. "Is it true that Godzilla and that... that fluffy floozy are going to have a lovechild?"
"Where did you hear that?" one of the priestesses gasped. As the guardians of Mothra, they were able to understand the languages of all kaiju.
Luna stared at her fellow mooncat. "Artemis... you didn't... you didn't tell them..."
And on cue, Junior started his dance again, singing: "I'm gonna have a little sister, I'm gonna have a little sister..."
"That's IT!" Rodan screeched. "I'm gonna peck that little pest up like a worm..." Angrily, she flapped her wings, rose off the ground and left Monster Island with the speed of a hurricane.
Artemis chuckled sheepishly. "Eheheheh... oops?"
The priestesses were still into the direction where Rodan had vanished.
"Did you... did you see the symbol on Rodan's forehead?" the priestess on the right, called Sayuri, asked.
"That was... the symbol of Mars, wasn't it?" the left priestess, called Yuka, shot back.
Just then, the huge head of a spiky, four-legged dinosaur appeared behind the mountain. "Hey, what's going on? Did I miss anything?" Anguirus asked.
