I had seen this before. The battle between Godzilla and Kong—I had witnessed it in my past life. I knew what would come next. The humans would make their move. They would release Mechagodzilla, and that's when everything would change.
I stood there, watching Godzilla and Kong trade blows, both titans locked in an epic battle. Kong swung his massive axe, but Godzilla retaliated with a blast of his atomic breath. It was a fight for the ages. Yet, I knew better than to intervene just yet. This fight wasn't over, but it would soon be interrupted.
Mechagodzilla.
I couldn't let the elders know yet. They didn't understand the intricacies of what was happening, nor did I need them to. They would need to focus on Kong, not on some future event I already knew was coming. I couldn't afford to tell them about Mechagodzilla, about how the fight would shift. I had already seen it play out in my past life. The timeline was fixed. What was coming was inevitable.
I turned to the elders, keeping my voice calm but firm.
"Elder Two, Elder Five—prepare to be at the edge of the battlefield. If Kong falls, you must be ready to help. You'll need to protect him. Stay where you are until that happens."
They nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.
The rest of the battle continued. Godzilla's atomic breath lashed out, striking Kong in the chest. Kong staggered back, smoke rising from his burned flesh. Despite the damage, he roared in defiance, ready for the next round. Kong wouldn't go down so easily. I had already seen him face worse, but I knew the moment was coming when the situation would take a drastic turn.
Just as I expected, the ground trembled again, and I heard the unmistakable sound of engines roaring in the distance. I could already feel it. The humans were moving. Mechagodzilla was coming.
It's time.
I took a deep breath and spoke to Elder One and Elder Four.
"Get ready. We'll move when the moment comes. We don't interfere in Kong and Godzilla's fight unless it's absolutely necessary. This battle is about their dominance, but there's more going on here than meets the eye."
Elder One nodded, his eyes narrowing as he understood the subtle warning in my words. Elder Four stayed silent, always the most contemplative of the group.
As Godzilla and Kong continued their battle, Godzilla lashed out with his tail, striking Kong with brutal force. The blast from Godzilla's atomic breath was enough to send Kong flying into the ruins, but I saw it—the hesitation in Godzilla's movements. Something wasn't right. This wasn't just about Godzilla asserting his dominance over Kong. This was a distraction.
I could feel the tension building. Mechagodzilla was close, but I didn't want to reveal everything to the elders. There was still time to let Kong fight—time for the humans to unleash their machine and for Kong to step in and help.
I turned to the elders one more time.
"Wait. We don't act yet. Not until we see Mechagodzilla reveal itself. Kong's strength will not fail him."
Suddenly, the ground trembled again, much harder this time. I saw the flash of mechanical limbs in the distance, and I knew instantly what was happening. The humans had unleashed Mechagodzilla—a towering machine built to take down titans. Its presence alone was a grave threat, and it was moving toward Godzilla.
I felt a slight twinge in my gut. It was happening. I knew it was coming, and now it was time for me to act.
I signaled to Elder Two and Elder Five, giving them the green light to move to the edge of the battlefield where Kong and Godzilla were about to face off. They needed to be ready, in case Kong needed help. I turned to the rest of the elders.
"We stay hidden until the right moment," I said quietly. "Kong will not fall here. Not yet."
The battle between Kong and Godzilla continued to rage, but now, the sky above was filled with the sound of thrusters. Mechagodzilla descended, its massive form casting a shadow over the battleground. The mechanical titan stood tall, far larger than anything I had seen before. Godzilla, now distracted by the new threat, was momentarily caught off guard as Mechagodzilla engaged him.
The machine was relentless, its movements precise and calculated, each strike from its massive frame striking Godzilla with brutal force. Godzilla staggered under the assault, his movements sluggish as he tried to counter the attack. But Mechagodzilla had the advantage. This was a fight that would be over in no time.
I watched as Kong, realizing that Godzilla was in danger, moved to intervene. It was the moment I had anticipated. Kong swung his axe with all his might, using it to smash into Mechagodzilla with surprising force. The two titans clashed in a brutal fight, both determined to overcome this unnatural opponent.
As Kong and Godzilla worked together, I knew that the outcome of this battle was inevitable. Mechagodzilla wouldn't stand a chance against their combined power. But I also knew that this battle was about more than just survival. It was about the balance of power, the future of the Titans, and our place in this world.
The fight dragged on, but the end was near. I knew what was coming. I had seen it before, but the dragons had not. And that was fine. I would wait for the moment to strike. I would wait until it was time to join the fight—if the need arose.
And for now, I watched, prepared to step in when the time was right.
