Scene: All is peaceful in the hollow earth. Kong had just finished teaching the other Kongs how to craft tools is going to check on Shimo who was forced to stay a distance since her mere presence froze everything over.
Upon arriving they greet each other in a friendly matter. Shimo still appreciative of Kong freeing her from Skar King.
All was peaceful until through one of the portals an armada of ships emerges, heading straight for them and firing all sorts of artillery. While kong responds with a ferocious roar interrupted by the artillery exploding on contact with his body he notices it seems to damage Shimo more. As if they were specifically designed to be used against her. Nonetheless neither Titan backed down as they quickly worked together to destroy the apparent invaders.
The battle continues but as more ships start to pour into the hollow earth the only option left was to retreat for the sake of Shimo who wounds from the artillery were only getting more severe but how could they with ships guarding each portal. it isn’t till familiar screech is heard and a row of ships get taken down in one fell swoop. Mothra had come to help. Despite the armada now targeting her as well she manages to create an opening for her Kong and Shimo to escape to the surface. But where they expected to find shelter they only found another armada on the other side of the portal. As the battle resumed each Titan fought to the best of their ability. Mothra taking on most of the Air Force while Kong and Shimo dealt with the ground force. But with the battle drawing out it takes its toll on Kong and Shimo until the ships start retreating. But for what purpose. At first Kong is concerned with Shimo. She falls to the ground and winces in pain. What was supposed to be another peaceful day in that hollow earth soon She found herself the target of a coordinated assault and was gravely wounded. Mothra with some tears in her wings lands on Shimo and covers most of her body with her wings. They start to glow and Shimo’s pain begins to subside but in the distance Kong spots a singular missile in the air flying their way (the oxygen destroyer 2.0)
With all three titans weakened it would surely finish off the three of them but they still had time to escape. Kong signals with his hands for Shimo to follow him back through the portal hoping that the armada back there would have fled as well but Shimo fails to find the strength to even stand. Then it struck him. What if the armada targeted his tribe. They still hadn’t learned to defend themselves after all those years in captivity. He had to go back and defend him. He tries to move Shimo even attempting to lift her up and carry her but everything he tries seems to only hurt Shimo. Kong now faced a difficult choice. Leave Shimo at deaths door to check on his tribe or stay with her. It seemed a clear choice at first but he remembered when they first left the Kong’s entrapment. She was happy to live with the tribe but soon found her freezing powers were creating problems. While Kong helped her find a spot not that far from them he still remembered all those times he would try to explain to Shimo that she had to stay. He recognized the loneliness in her eyes. She didn’t want to be alone so Kong spent nights with her enduring the cold temperatures. Eventually Shimo grew accustomed but Kong always noticed the way her eyes and back would light up when he visited her. Despite being a different species Kong acknowledged that Shimo was just a part of his family as much as the other Kongs. The choice was a difficult one but it was one Mothra would not let him make. Her wings start to flap and she soon found the strength to fly again. Looking back at Kong and Shimo she gives them one final screech before taking off set on a direct course to a head on collision with the incoming Oxygen destroyer. She managed to intercept it before it got too close and in an explosion of blinding light she managed to save Kong and Shimo.
But their troubles weren’t over yet. With only Mothra being taken out Air Force, ships, and ground forces began to move in to reengage Kong and Shimo in an attempt to finish them off but stopped dead in their tracks at a distant roar that once heard everyone immediately knew who it was.
The goal was to eliminate Shimo quickly before…
Before He could sense what they were doing
But it was too late.
When the fight arrived to the surface he woke up. He used the tunnels to get there and he witnessed Mothra sacrificing herself to shield Kong from a weapon that nearly took him out years ago.
Kong looked behind him and quickly spotted him…
Godzilla
standing in the distance. At first he was relieved to see him but Kong quickly recognized the expression on Godzilla’s face. Anger pure unfiltered hatred. Not only were Godzilla’s dorsal plates frantically flashing but it was as if his anger could be seen burning all over his body.
Humanity attacked Kong’s Kingdom and eliminated a guardian of the Natural Order.
Not only did they declare war on the King but simultaneously incurred the Wrath of God
Godzilla’s mind was made up. It wasn’t enough to remind humanity of their spot at the bottom of the hierarchy. It was time to wipe them completely from the face of the planet.
