Godzilla: Hotlines S1 Ep9: Underground World Part 1 is part 1 of the season's final!

Plot (Story)
Logos start to play as sirens could be heard in the background. We get a view of the police who are trying to divert the panic as Burning Godzilla can be seen in the background, using his Burning Atomic Breath to make a hole as he was done, crawling inside as his roar echoed. Ishiro had walked back inside, unsure on what to do. Then I notice him, [Me] “” (Translated from Japanese) [Ishiro] “” [Me] “ ” [Ishiro] “” Ishiro turned away from me, growling under his breath. I ran out of the ASI base and noticed a few pieces of clothes leading into the forest. I followed the trail alone in hopes of finding Asaka. Meanwhile at the hole Burning Gojira created, the ASI put the forest fire out and they all looked down that hole. [ASI Soldier 1] “” [ASI Soldier 2] “” They talked as they looked down the hole. Meanwhile with me, I have reached the end of the trail. It seemed to end near the mountain as I ran inside the cave, shouting Asaka’s name. [Me] “” I shouted, seeing a bright light at the end of the cave and walked into a very open place with a waterfall and some trees like this was paradise. Then I noticed Asaka. [Me] “” [Asaka] “” I smiled and was about to run to her for a hug until I noticed Mothra climbing down from above, snarling at me. [Me] “” I freaked out, pointing at Mothra as Asaka raised an eyebrow and smiled at me. She wasn’t scared of Mothra but why? Why isn’t she running into my arms, asking me to protect her from the dangerous beast? There must be a reason. [Asaka] “” She said while petting Mothra. Mothra had calmed down for now as I walked closer, thinking it was safe. [Me] “” [Asaka] “” She said, grabbing my hand and walking me into a room with ancient carvings on the wall.

Meanwhile outside, the ASI were still looking down the hole as they heard snarling. [ASI Soldier 1] “” He shouted as one sharp leg came out of the hole, slamming down. It later was revealed to be Kumonga! He roared for his return, knowing it was safe for now. Kumonga rose up, being taller than the puny humans on the surface world. Kumonga took a few steps forward, looking around as the sun set. Kumonga snarled, green drool dropping as he snarled and turned his attention to the mountain, his back humming. The ASI watched as Kumonga wasn’t making his way towards the city but towards the mountain. Why? Meanwhile with me, Asaka had grabbed my hand and led me into a room with ancient carvings in the wall. [Asaka] “” [Me] “” I asked her as she turned to me. Then points to Gojira and Mosura looking up at Gojira’s nemesis. King Ghidorah!!! The cave shaked followed by Kumonga’s roars as he stabbed through the mountain with his sharp legs. Mothra roared as she burst out of the mountain, roaring at Kumonga and alerting the town nearby that Mothra was hiding in that mountain all long. Kumonga tried to bite Mothra’s stinger but Mothra dodged and kicked him down, tumbling down the mountain and near the hole.

Mothra stabs Kumonga with her stinger, weakening him as he tumbles while trying to stand up. But Kumonga used his Green Webs to grab ahold of Mothra’s wings or a pair of them. Kumonga later began regaining strength and tried to pull Mothra towards him as Mothra tried her best to fly away but she couldn’t. Then as we raced out of the cave, noticing Kumonga playing tug of war with Mothra’s wings, Asaka raced towards the two beasts fighting until I felt the ground shaking. Uh oh. [Me] “<Asaka! Wait!>” I shouted while chasing her. Mothra managed to cut the green web from Kumonga as she roared, flapping her wings. Kumonga got back up and roared back, running straight towards her. But then, something bursted out of the hole that Kumonga came out of and knocked both Kumonga and Mothra down. It was Gigan! He roared at the both beasts, laughing at Mothra as they both got back up and snarled. It was a 1v1v1 kaiju fight. Every monster for themselves. Gigan kicked Mothra back and tail smacked Kumonga to the ground, paralyzing the spider temporarily. As Gigan focuses on Mothra, grass-like tendrils burst out of the ground and near us, grabbing Kumonga to drag him down back into the hole. As Kumonga roared down the hole, it revealed that those were Biollante’s tendrils! She was still alive somehow! A small part of the tendrils notice us and grab Asaka’s hand and begin to drag her down. [Asaka] “<No!>” she shouted, holding my hand as I tried to drag her out but in the end, we both got dragged into the hole as we screamed for our lives and the tendril let go of Asaka.

Back on the surface, it seems Gigan was winning as he slash across Mothra’s face, giving her an unhealable scar as he chuckled. Ishiro was watching this happen once more. He then picked up comms and was about to say something until- [ASI General] “<Sir! Gojira is heading back here!>” [Ishiro] “<What?!>” The ASI General pulled up a screen, zooming in at the smoke spot in the ocean. That was no fire, it was Burning Godzilla himself! He lifted his head as he roared before slamming back down and continuing his destination towards the city. [Ishiro] “<Where is Destoroyah?!>” He asked as the ASI General was trying his best to find him. Maybe that’s why Gojira was heading for them. [ASI General] “<Found him!>” He showed Ishiro where Destoroyah was and he was nearby, too close in the matter of that fact as they turned to Mothra and Gigan who were still fighting. Mothra kicked Gigan away, trying to escape so she could recover. Gigan took flight, about to chase her until missiles coming from the ASI base knocked him out of the skies, causing him to crash and knocked out for a few hours. Ishiro then rushed to the hole with a few ASI soldiers as Biollante from below was closing the hole, making sure they can’t get in. [ASI General] “<What do we do now sir?>” Ishiro sighed as he wiped his forehead, trying to think of a plan before turning back to the base, noticing a trail of smoke getting closer and closer by the minute. [Ishiro] “<Let them fight.>”

It was close to midnight a few hours after Ishiro said that as they were keeping an eye on Gigan and they noticed Destoroyah’s movement had stopped. Why did he stop? They were wondering all the same thing. But Gojira was close to the city, soon to surface. Ishiro had no idea what to do or what. [ASI General] “<Sir. We tried->” [Ishiro] “<Please tell me you have good news.>” The ASI General took a minute before answering. [ASI General] “<Not really sir. We tried to break into the hole but it kept healing. Like it wants to stay close.>” She showed him the footage of the hole closing once it was open for a second. Ishiro slammed his fist on the table, pissed off. The ASI General gasped. [ASI General] “<Sir?>” Ishiro growled before the ground shaked. Ishiro rushed outside and noticed him. [Ishiro] “<It is starting.>” Destoroyah had landed in the city! Roaring in the air as he smacked the buildings down with his claws and chuckled. Then Burning Godzilla rose from the ocean, roaring and using his Burning Atomic Breath as Destoroyah counter attack with his Micro-Oxygen Projectionas the beams clashed and Burning Godzilla was losing. Then Destoroyah leans forward to give it a little more power as it destroys Burning Godzilla’s Buring Atomic Breath, pushing him back into the ocean! Then Destoroyah turned away, thinking it was over before Burning Godzilla burst out of the ocean, making landfall and roaring at the Great Red Devil. Destoroyah turns back around, softly snarling as he slammed his tail and roars at Burning Godzilla. Burning Godzilla roared back as they both rushed towards each other to fight. The End? (Finished: 4/29/2021) End Credit Scene: Meanwhile with us, I woke up and noticed Asaka laying on the ground but as I looked around, I noticed we were in a...jungle? I heard some animal calls in the distance as I tried to wake Asaka up. [Me] “<Asaka? Asaka.>” [Asaka] “<Hm? What is it Kim?>” [Me] “<Follow me.>” I helped Asaka up as we walked out of the forest and noticed that we were in an underground world! Monsters spotted everywhere! [Me] “<Where in the hell are we?!>” To be continued. Next episode is Godzilla: Hotlines S1 Ep10: Underground World Part 2.
