"You ain't ready..."

A spotlights shines in the darkness revealing Yozora wearing his Red Hood suit without his helmet on as he had his hoodie on and had his hands in his pockets.

"You ain't ready..."

The screen zooms up to Yozora slowly as his body gets surrounded by a black red aura.

"You ain't ready..."

The aura began to form a monstrous head shaped like a reptilian like creature.

"You ain't..."

"YOU AIN'T READY FOR ME!"

Yozora's snaps his eyes open revealing they were feral red before the screen suddenly changes to a title that said:

KΔIJU NØ.0

"A little bit of love, a little bit of great.."

Several scenes of Yozora was seen walking in the park with his lovers by his side, them seemingly on a date with each other.

"A little bit of pain and misery..."

Yozora was in his room, his back against the door as he stared at the ground with a unreadable expression due to his hair shadowing his eyes.

"A little bit of strife in life..."

Yozora was seem hanging out with his friends, a smile on his face.

"I fight and I survive"

Yozora was wearing his Red Hood suit and holding his katana and gun with Alarick next to his side while being surrounded by criminals and Kaijus.

"My back is getting pushed up against the wall."

A young Yozora around 16 was pushed against the wall with several gang members cornering him with grins on their faces.

"I'm never given up, I give my all."

Yozora smirks and he looks at the gang with a glare before getting into a fighting stance preparing to fight back.

"I'm never lookin' back, attack"

Yozora effortlessly took down the gang without a single one of them being able to land a hand on him.

"My fear, it's in the past"

Yozora walked with a calm and collected expression, his eyes glowing with a faint crimson hue.

"Stand up, Stand up..."

Yozora was seen in front of grave on his knees before he slowly stood up back on his feet.

"Stand up..."

His eyes turning red as fangs began to form and clenches his fist as it gets surrounded by a red aura.

"You ain't ready for me!"

"Give me your best shot!"

Yozora was in his suit and facing against Mina as she was holding her gun pointed blank at him while her hands trembled.

"The stronger I stand!"

A kaiju roared menacingly, creating a shockwave only to be immediately torn apart by Yozora.

"Not lookin' for sympathy!"

Yozora, in his red hood outfit looked at someone with a menacing aura around his body.

"What doesn't kill me makes me who I am!"

Kafka and the others watched in awe as Yozora walked towards them, behind him was nothing but bodies upon bodies of deceased Kaiju.

"A soldier fights til he's free!"

Yozora was seen facing against millions of foes, Kaijus, Kaiju No.9 and several giants covered in darkness.

"You ain't ready for me!"

"You ain't ready(No!)"

"You ain't ready(No!)"

"You ain't ready(No!)"

"You ain't ready, you ain't ready for me!"

Yozora's eyes glowed crimson-red as a dark aura covered his body, slowly growing as it began to take shape of something.

"... A little bit of hope, a little bit of hurt"

Yozora was sitting on the roof of a building, gazing out at the city.

"A little bit of "Get what you deserve..."

Yozora looked down at one of his hands which was stained by the blood of a kaiju.

"Dragging through the mud and blood"

However, his vision seemingly shifted as the kaiju blood changed to human blood for a split second.

"Get up, I've had enough."

A hand was placed on his shoulder as Yozora turns to see it was Mina. The two turned their attention towards the city.

"Am I getting through?"

Yozora was now in a black abyss staring at something that looked like a beast that was towering over him with a snarl.

"Time to come alive."

Several Kaijus were seen being created by several men and other entities covered in darkness.

"Do you wanna live before you die?"

Yozora around 18 years old was in monster island staring at Gojira and the Kaiju girls.

"Hold on to your truth 'til you break through
You'll never lose"

Yozora stood in a unknown location and stared down the same creature he saw before.

"Stand up..."

"Stand up..."

"Stand up..."

"You ain't ready for me!"

Yozora look off his red hood helmet, his eyes closed before he opened them to reveal red reptilian-like eyes with black slits.

"Give me your best shot!"

Yozora, Alarick and his brother Jason were seen facing against so many Kaijus that surrounded them as the two brothers whipped out their guns and the wolf turned into his Kaiju form.

"The stronger I stand!"

Yozora, Kafka and Mina were standing together with their suits severely damaged as they were glaring at Kaiju No.9.

"Not looking for sympathy."

Yozora was walking away from several gravestones of his fallen comrades that have died in the line of duty.

"What doesn't kill me makes me who I am!"

The years of pain, achievements and so much more flashes into Yozora's mind before it stops to him becoming Red Hood.

"A soldier fights 'til he's free!"

Yozora tore through numerous kaiju without hesitation and without a drop of mercy.

"You ain't ready for me!"

All of Yozora's friends and co-workers looked at him with various smiles and looks of happiness, filling him with a sense of joy.

"You ain't ready(No!)"

"You ain't ready(No!)"

"You ain't ready(No!)"

Yozora turned and stared off into the distance with a wide grin slapped across the young man's face.

"You ain't, you ain't ready for me!"

"Stand up, Stand up!"

"Facing the Lions!"

Yozora was seen facing against several Honju Kaijus before he closes his eyes and his body began to glow.

"Stand up."

"You ain't ready(No!)"

"You ain't ready(No!)"

"You ain't ready(No!)"

"Stand up, Stand up!"

Yozora's body began to morph as he grew taller with his arms becoming humanoid monstrous.

"Facing the fire!"

"Stand up."

"You ain't ready(No!)"

"YOU AIN'T READY FOR ME!!!"

The glow disperses to reveal Yozora in his Kaiju form as he roars.

3rd person's POV

After the fight with the Mega Clone, Yozora remained in a coma for five days since going burning drained most of his stamina and radiation but after Yozora woke up, he immediately left the hospital since his body was back in peak condition despite that the doctors, Mina, Kumiko, his team and the others told him to rest but he couldn't simply rest after what happened five days ago.

???: Do they expect anything from you?...

Yozora: No sir...

He was currently somewhere in the training field talking with one of his superiors from the Vengeful Exiles.

???(Call): You pulled one hell of a risk using your power like that...

Yozora(Call): I know...

???(Call): To think Kaiju No.9 created five cheap knock offs of you. *sighs* This is truly troublesome.

Yozora(Call): Slade and Elite Nemesis are already causing problems but now Kaiju No.9 is making things worse.

???(Call): You let us deal with Slade and Elite Nemesis. Your main mission is to find Kaiju No.8 and deal with No.9. Speaking of. Any progress on No.8?

Yozora(Call): No unfortunately, I looked everywhere and asked any witnesses but I can't find her.

???(Call): I see. Hmmm, keep searching. There has to be something that will aid in the search of No.8.

Yozora(Call): I will see what I can do, sir. You have my word.

???(Call): You haven't failed before and you won't fail this time. Good luck, Red Hood.

The call ends as Yozora sighs and leans back against the bench while staring at the sky remembering his fight with the Mega Clone.

Yozora: "To think the likes of that was able to push me into Burning..."

He lifted a hand up and rubbed the bridge of his nose; letting out another sigh.

Yozora: "Just what is going on?..."

He closes his eyes deciding to take in the peace and quiet as he sighs enjoying the peace until-

???: Yo.

He opens his eyes and looks to see his childhood best friend.

Yozora: Kafka...

Kafka: Didn't expect to find you here, Yozora. How have you been?

Yozora: Pretty good.

Kafka sits next to him as he leans back.

Kafka: ...

Yozora: ...

Kafka: ...

Yozora: ...

The two sat there in long silence while looking up at the sky.

Yozora: I know I said I would talk to you later but...

Kafka: Nah, it's fine. You had your duties and missions...I didn't expect you of all people would be Red Hood.

Yozora: Heh, I can't blame ya. It must've really racked with your mind

Kafka: I mean... a little bit, like your one of the best there is so it would make sense but at the same time....

Yozora: It's still a shock?

Kafka nodded.

Yozora: Heh, I know...

Kafka: You must have endured so much to receive that mantle.

Yozora: Mhm...

Kafka: Is that why you didn't join the defence force?

Yozora sighs.

Yozora: There are more monsters out there other than Kaijus, Kafka.

Kafka: Huh? What do you mean?

Yozora: There are dangerous criminals, mafia, yakuzas, corrupted people and other types of crap on the planet.

Kafka: Oh...

Yozora: Mhm...

Kafka: So, you've been dealing with all that... I honestly imagine.

Yozora: Yup...It might not change the world but the innocents won't have to suffer anymore.

Kafka: I guess... I guess that's good enough.

Yozora: Heard from Mina that you passed with flying colours to join the defence force a few months ago.

Kafka: Heh.. *rubs the back of his head* Yeah, after I reached the age limit, I thought my dream was done for but when they removed the age limit, that was my last chance.

Yozora: Well, I'm proud of you. I knew you could do it.

Kafka: Heh...

Yozora: And you reached officer rank after joining. Not bad for you.

Kafka: Thanks...Though, I might be close reaching a demotion because of my combat power.

Yozora: Isn't Hoshina training you the Squadron-Style?

Kafka: Yeah, and it's helping me slowly increase my combat power.

Yozora: Hmm...Well, maybe I can teach you one of my styles.

Kafka: Wait, you'd do that... for me?

Yozora: Of course, plus you've worked so hard to get in. So it makes no sense for you to be demoted by something as stupid as combat power.

Kafka: *Smiles* Thanks, Yozora...

Yozora: Anytime but remember the style I'm teaching you is not easy to achieve.

Kafka: What is this style?

Yozora: It's called...Niko Style.

Kafka: Niko style?

Yozora: Yup.

Kafka: Niko Style...Is this style related to your uncle Niko Tokita?

Yozora nodded.

Yozora: Keep in mind...This training to achieve this style won't be like anything you've seen before. So are you up for it?

Kafka: I mean... if your offering, how could I refuse such a thing.

Yozora: That's what I like to hear, old man!

Kafka: *Tic mark* OLD?! I'm four years older than you!

Yozora: Still old!

Kafka growls while Yozora laughs but the officer of the defence force couldn't help but chuckle as well.

From the window of the Captain's office, Mina was watching the whole thing with a small smile on her face seeing her boyfriend and Kafka restoring their friendship that's been severed for too long.

Mina: *Smiles* "That's good...."

She sighs as she turns and walks away.

Mina: "Seems like we might able to keep our promise after all...Thank you, Yozora..."

*Meanwhile*

Kaiju No.9: Well, that went better than I expected.

He was seen walking down in his cave while holding a Kaiju core that glowed brightly of different colours.

Kaiju No.9: The clones proved more of a use than I expected despite their flaws especially the five of them fused.

Kaiju No.9 looks towards the cocoon that was pulsating with a red glow.

Kaiju No.9: With the fused core of your brothers, you'll reach my expectations and become the strongest to be known as the Equal of the Alpha.

The cocoon glows red as it reveals a person's silhouette who opens his eyes which were glowed beneath the cocoon.

Kaiju No.9: Take this core and arise...King of the Kaijus.

He places the core on the cocoon which slowly absorbs the core along with the silhouette absorbing it as the cocoon begins to glow red before-

???: SKREEEEEEEEEOOOOOOONK!!!!!!

*Meanwhile*

Location: Monster Island

Monster Island (怪獣島, Kaijū-jima) is an island that the Alpha Titan, along with other monsters, are said to inhabit including Dinosaurs, Rathaloses, Rathians and many more along with the these humans that call themselves hunters that kill monsters and make armours and weapons from them in order for them to survive but they know very well not to anger the Alpha Titan herself otherwise it's the end for them.

Currently somewhere on the mountains, in a cave, someone could be snoring being taller than a building as she was currently sleeping before she opens her eyes.

She slowly sits up and looks towards the entrance of the cave as if she heard that roar from miles away.

???: Another member of my kind....No could it be...No, it sounds nothing like...Yozora...

Gojira: Just what the hell is going on in the world?....

*Meanwhile*

Yozora was seen walking down the hallway of the 3rd division base while whistling a tune until he stops as the light flicker on and on.

Yozora: .........

From behind, Yozora begins to hear low growling with footsteps heard coming towards him.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

He sighs knowing who it was as he doesn't bother turning to face the creature behind him,

Yozora: Leave me alone, Beast.....I won't accept you.....

???: You used the full extent of my powers....I can't exactly leave you alone like that....

Yozora: I didn't want exactly use it fully....But what choice did I have?....

Red: That's a simple question to answer, partner....You did it for survival.

Yozora: .........

Red: The weak die out. The strong survive. You know that, Yozora. We kill. We devour. We take. We steal. We train. We gain power. We grow stronger. ALL OF IT!!! To stand on top of the world! WE ARE ALPHAS!!!!!!!

Yozora: .........

Red: Keep denying everything I say but you know I'm right, boy. You say you won't accept me but you got rid of your heart in exchange of power that you use to this day and with the thousands years of revenge placed on your shoulders.

Yozora: .........

Red: Keep pretending everything that you're not. Lover. Friend. Brother. Son.

Yozora slowly begins to walk away not wanting to listen anymore of this until-

Red: RED HOOD....

Yozora stops in his tracks before slowly turning to face Red who begins to chuckle.

Red: But you'll always be what everyone hates and fears.....A MONSTER.

The lights begin to flicker on and off again before it turns off and slowly turns back on to reveal Red was gone as it was only Yozora.

Yozora: .......

With nothing else to say, Yozora begins walking again with the screen zooming to his left eye that turns red as the screen fades to black.
