Police station

A police officer looks up to a figure and he said.

" Thank you for coming, your visit is most comforting Detective Gigan."

Gigan now cladded in a trench coat and a fedora smirks and he said.

" It's nothing officer. I'm just here to help with the case of the Slit Mouth woman."

" You should be careful Detective, the woman tends to attack when you are most vulnerable."

" Heh. Not to worry."

Gigan slowly pulls his arms apart, revealing his blades beneath his sleeves.

" I'll be ready for her."

" The curfew has been pretty strict in this area. Folks are rarely leaving their houses and children are now made to walk in groups. Our forces are trying to maintain order but our numbers are spread thin to keep up the pace."

Gigan questions further.

" So what can I know about this 'Slit Mouth' woman?"

" The woman may look like an ordinary woman but she is not what she may seem. She goes around asking children whether is she pretty or not. If they say 'No' she kills them."

" Then what if they say 'Yes'?"

" She will just show them her scars and ask them the same question. And no matter how you answer, your fate will still be the same."

" Hm. Hatred. Evil. Vengeful. Just what Lord Red needs."

Gigan thought gleefully to himself.

The alien cyborg then assures the police officer.

" Rest assured sir, I will deal with this problem so that you can never deal with her again."

" Oh thank you Detective Gigan. You have no idea how terrified folks around here have been."

" Yeah. I can see that."

Gigan nods as he saw a man quickly ducking into his house, as if he knows the woman is near.

The police officer then said.

" Well I better go back in. Will you be okay by yourself Detective?"

" Eh. I'm not made an Xilien weapon for nothing. So no worries, I can deal with her."

Gigan turns around and he wonders to himself.

" Now I wonder how the others are doing? Should I call them? Nah. Their probably busy. Anyway, let's find her before Lord Red gets impatient."

Streets

Heileen walks along the desolated streets, looking around.

The streets are surprisingly empty and deserted, not a person in sight.

Just where is everyone?

As Heileen walks along, she was unaware of a figure following her from behind.

Meanwhile

Gigan stares at several missing posters and the murder articles on the wall and he remarks.

" Wow. That's a lot. That woman might actually give me the creeps."

As Gigan walks along the streets just then, he felt a vibration in his armour.

Gigan taps at his comn and he said.

" Hello?"

" Hey Gigan."

Gigan could hear Orga's voice across the comn.

" Oh hey Orga, what's up?"

" Nothing much. Just got this girl Ayumi to teleport me into some ghostly dimensional school. Sure have a lot of hatred energy there but man, that place gives me the creeps!"

" I know how you feel. I'm currently searching for a slit mouth woman and trust me, you wouldn't want to deal with her."

" Yeah. And you definitely don't want to go to that school as well. I wonder how Megaguirus and the Ghidorahs are doing?"

" Eh. I'm sure they're fine. Well, I better skedaddle, toodle loos Gigan."

" See ya Orga."

Gigan hangs up and he walks along the streets, slowly sliding his blades against each other.

Later

Heileen stops by at a convienence store and she browses through the shop.

As Heileen takes a bottle of water from the shelf, she steps towards the counter to pay for her drink.

As the cashier scans her item, Heileen said to him.

" The streets sure are quiet at this point of time."

The cashier looks up and he said to Heileen.

" Didn't you know? This town is haunted by some really mean spirit."

" Spirit?"

" Aye. They call her Kuchisake Onna, the Slit Mouth woman. She has been going around slitting people's mouth and now folks are too scared to leave their homes."

Heileen looks outside and she comments out to the cashier.

" That's horrible."

" I know. You better stay here. It's not safe to go out there. I'm even too scared to go home when my shift ends."

" But my friends may still be out there. I must find them."

The cashier sighs and he said to Heileen.

" Alright then. Are you sure you will be okay?"

" I'll be fine. Don't worry about it."

However, despite what she said, Heileen felt her blood running cold as she walks along the streets.

As she walks, taking a sip of her water, just then, a figure steps out of the corner, stopping her in her tracks.

Heileen looks up and she pauses.

The woman is a tall woman with long raven black hair cladded in a tan brown trench coat and a face mask covering the bottom half of her face.

Heileen has no idea why, but there's something about the woman that made her feel uneasy.

" Uh hello? Who are you?"

Heileen questions out with a hint of uncertainty.

The woman didn't answer.

Instead, she steps towards her and she asks in a low raspy voice

" Am I pretty?"

Not knowing what to say, Heileen slowly nods.

The woman then grabs the strings of her mask and she pulls it off.

What Heileen saw causes her to jump back in shock.

The woman's mouth is cutted in a slit shape with scars around her cheeks connecting to her mouth.

The woman then asks Heileen.

" Am I pretty now?"

" AAAHHHHH!!!"

Heileen screams out in terror as Kuchisake-Onna sprints forward, holding up her scissors.

As she was running, just then, Heileen bumps into a hard metal plating, causing her to cry out in agony.

" AAAHHHHHH!!!"

Heileen falls onto the ground and she looks up.

Heileen felt her stomach churn in fear as she found herself staring at a glistering red visor.

Gigan looks down and he exclaims out.

" Hold on a second, I know you! You were with Godzilla and that dinosaur back in the Clock Tower."

Heileen grabs onto Gigan's blades and she begs.

" Please! Help me! That slitted mouth woman is chasing me!"

" Wait. Kuchisake Onna?"

Gigan looks and he sneers just as Kuchisake Onna raises up her scissors.

" Perfect!"

SKREEEEEEEEEERARGHH!!!

Gigan screeches out and he swoops forward, swinging his blade across her chest.

" ARGHHHHHHH!!!"

Kuchisake Onna screams out and she clutches her chest, blood dripping down her wound.

Gigan points his blade at her and he declares.

" You're coming with me."

Kuchisake Onna narrows her eyes and she turns around, fleeing from the pair.

Heileen watches the Slit Mouth woman leaves and she complimented Gigan.

" You did it. You got rid of her."

" I doubt it."

" Huh? What do you mean?"

Gigan turns around and he explains to Heileen.

" Spirits do not have a physical body, meaning they are unable to bleed like we do. But if my blades could wound her. That means I only managed to injure her host body."

As it dawns on Heileen, the woman suddenly exclaims out.

" So in other words, Kuchisake Onna will just leave her body and possess someons else?"

" Yes."

" Oh no."

Heileen stares at the trail of blood on the floor and she declares.

" We better go stop her before she tries to possess another person!"

" As much as we both hate it, I'm gonna need your help just as you need mine so let's go."

With that, both Heileen and Gigan began their pursuit of the Slitted Mouth woman.
