Chapter 6: Stirring Memories
The Equal Dragon Weapon sits in Ghidorah's ship, staring down at Earth. She winces and rubs her temples as several images flash though her mind. Several of them show a younger Zorah smiling at her, one image showing him holding a flower. Another, hugging her. She grimaces and shakes her head.
Meanwhile, Kiryu sits quietly in her hangar. While she was piloted by the human, she did have her own conscience. But she was also beset by images of a smiling Zorah and a little baby. They show the growth of the child, before Kiryu recognizes her. It's an not mutated Gojiren. She frowns again and stands.
"Request to leave the base?"
"What for?"
"A lead with the old Gojiren's past with Zorah."
".......Granted."
The hangar doors open. She walks out and rockets off to the island she saw in the flashing memories. She spots it, although notices how dead many of the trees are. Slowly, she makes her way towards a cave. But a heavy thud alerts her, and she turns and sees the Equal Dragon Weapon. She activates her wrist sword, and the EDW extends her claws. But a slow, quiet exhale draws their attention elsewhere. A strange mist pour out of the cave Kiryu has seen in the memories. A woman slowly steps out of it. Though smaller than them, she's 5 times larger than a human. She smiles lazily as she stares at the two.
"So... two... EDWs. One... lived... here. The other... created centuries... ago."
"You're Vaal Hazak?"
"Indeed... and you... must be Kiryu."
The EDW growls and steps closer to Vaal. But she hold up her hands.
"I'm not here... to fight. I'm here to... help... you. I can tell... you why you have those... images flashing in your minds."
"So then? Why?!"
Kiryu know it's due to her containing the Skelton of the previous Gojiren, but doesn't know why they are showing Zorah.
"You two... both have a... past with Zorah. You, Kiryu, contain... the skeleton of the first... Gojiren. That Gojiren's soul... lies dormant within you, but is starting to stir due... to the presence of Zorah. I have no doubt that I'd you attempt to kill Zorah, you will be... forced into a fight of control over your own body. She will fight to stop you from killing Zorah. And as for you... EDW."
She turns to the weapon designed to kill her brethren.
"You were created from a childhood friend of Zorah's... Your memories are still intact, they were just buried... in the deepest parts of your mind. And I need to say this to both of you. Zorah... still loves you... both of you, so... so very much. He is incredible pain having to fight you. He hopes... that maybe you can come see him one day, when you are not enemies."
The two mechanical Kaiju girls stands still for a moment. Vaal smiles and spreads her wing, before taking off.
"Take care, you two. The other elders and I will be at Monster Island. Tell you're allies that coming there won't be a good idea."
She flies away. Leaving the two mechanical monster girls with conflicting emotions. What were they going to do with them?
