Bombay, 1987.

Ace Pov

It took the mission in India for me to finally ask myself this question: How long have I kept this up? Everyone around me has been getting wrinkles or showing signs of aging, while I... remain in my prime. What I feared has come true. I don't seem to be aging at all. I still possess the energy of a young adult. More than 30 years have passed. Three decades of mental and physical baggage from stalking a monster who, with time, seems to grow more powerful. And so do I, but I seem to never catch up. This chase weighs heavily on me.

I can't believe it... 30 years with my feet in the mud, filled with failures, betrayals, heartbreaks, traumas, and what do I have to show for it?

The giant bastard is still wreaking havoc. The manipulator and its toy seem to relish taking their sweet time destroying this world. I have no family, barely any friends outside the A.M.F, whom I've slowly reconnected with. Well, I would have a family if I knew how exactly I could return to my world, but I... don't.

This mission... I was so focused on this monster for so long that I couldn't even imagine a life without it. My entire being was solely focused on killing it. Part of me still says that. After Garen's death, the A.M.F took a different turn... I... made it take a different turn...

Until I figured out the... "portal gun," I told everyone that it was no longer about containing or combating the monsters. That's my job now. But for them, it was more about damage control.

The group that once helped with monster hunting with me was disbanded. Those of us who stayed on were regulated to surveillance work, though I'm an exception. I handle both science and fighting. But as of now, we are calculating the monster's trajectory and evacuating all the people within that path.

We've literally become weather watchers...

Of course, Miss Fortune and Kai'sa, who still accompany me, didn't like that. Despite our cause being hopeless, we all still want to get our hands dirty and fight the beasts head-on.

This is a different era, after all. I suggested the idea of new departments, and it was accepted. They were quickly opened, bringing in new faces after I interviewed them, replacing the old. And new strategies were formed.

And you see, the smart ones and I built our own... Mecha Godzilla.

Miss Fortune, Kai'sa, and I looked from inside a van equipped with many cameras and surveillance technology. The girls looked in awe at the small TV while I looked unimpressed. Of course, I would be; I built it with a few others. I sighed to myself, stuffing my face with popcorn, waiting for any call for assistance.

(Miss Fortune) "Well damn, Ace. Is that why you had those dark spots under your eyes a few days ago?"

(Ace) He stares, silently "..." he turns towards Fortune and replies "Yeah..."

(Kai'sa) She sighs "What I would give to be driving that." She rests her chin on her hand "These new kids get all the best toys..."

(Ace) "You still got some ass kicking in you, Kai?"

(Kai'sa) "Getting trapped in the Void makes you have to habit of staying in shape."

(Ace) He turns away "I can see that. You two don't look a day over 40."

(Miss Fortune & Kai'sa) "Of course we don't!"

(Ace) "Goddamn, okay! I get it!" He waves his hands defensively "Fuck..."

The three of us continued staring at the screen, watching Mecha Godzilla unleash laser beams from its eyes, pushing Godzilla into a building. But even after such a display of technological prowess, I still didn't believe it could take down Godzilla. At this point, it's just testing how much it can endure.

(Miss Fortune) Surprised. "Woah! It even shots Masers out of it's eyes?! You nerds really outdid yourselves, huh?"

(Ace) "I feel like me and the team can do better. This is just a stress test."

(Kai'sa) "Are you sure about that?" She tilts her head.

(Ace) "Yeah, positive."

(Miss Fortune) She looks at Ace's unchanging face and she approaches him with concerns "Hey have you been doing?" She places her hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

(Ace) "I'm just tired, you know?"

(Miss Fortune) "If this?" She points at Godzilla on the TV screen.

(Ace) He stares at the TV in silence and replies. "Yeah..."

(Miss Fortune) "I get that, I really do. But I feel like one day, you will find a way to save us all." She smiles.

(Ace) "Just how long can I be the peoples hope?" He asked in a low tone.

(Miss Fortune) "Well, for what it seems, I think you have a lot of time." She motions at Kai'sa and herself.

(Ace) "How could I know this was gonna happen? I don't want to outlive you all."

(Miss Fortune) "Maybe... you're meant for something greater, Ace."

(Ace) "I used to have such dreams of greatness..."

(Miss Fortune) She tilts her head. "Huh?"

(Ace) "Now I feel as the years go by, I keep forgetting pieces of who I am." He stands up and walks out of the van.

No Pov.

Miss Fortune cast a concerned gaze at Ace's retreating form, growing increasingly distant from the van. Her expression betrayed the worry she felt for someone she had known for a significant stretch of time. Observing the worried bounty hunter, Kai'sa took a seat in the van and beckoned Miss Fortune over with a gentle gesture. Nodding in acknowledgment, Fortune joined Kai'sa, audibly sighing as she settled in beside her.

(Kai'sa) "I'm worried too, y'know?" Her expression shows worry.

(Miss Fortune) "The fact that we all noticed that he became immortal because of his new powers he mentioned before?" She asked.

(Kai'sa) "Yeah. The powers he gained where at first a mystery, but I'm sure he's starting to regret ever getting them." She leans back into her seat.

(Miss Fortune) "We had friends that lived over 100 years, a lot of them said it was a lonely existence. Others where lucky enough to have meet new people but... will that be the case for Ace?" Her gaze cast downwards.

(Kai'sa) "If he ever becomes his goofy and easygoing personality again... then I'm sure he will meet new people." 

(Miss Fortune) "You know he hasn't been the same since..." She hesitates.

(Kai'sa) "Since most of our group where killed..." Her voice dies down.

(Miss Fortune) "..."

(Kai'sa) "Should we go and get him?"

(Miss Fortune) "No, he'll be alright. He's the strongest out of all of us, after all."

(Kai'sa) "Yeah..."

The two young women remained stationed inside the van, their eyes fixed on the monitor displaying the ongoing clash between Mecha Godzilla and Godzilla. Maintaining a respectful silence, they patiently awaited Ace's return from his solitary excursion. They understood that he likely needed a moment to collect himself; after all, he had endured the loss of nearly everyone he knew in this dimension. Giving him space to process seemed like the least they could do in such trying circumstances.

...

Ace wandered the streets of Bombay in solemn silence, his eyes drawn upwards to the titanic clash unfolding in the distant skyline. With a heavy sigh, he found solace on a weathered bench nestled within a quiet park, far removed from the chaos of battle. The prolonged struggle weighed heavily upon him, a relentless reminder of the ceaseless mission that had consumed three decades of his existence. He couldn't help but curse Noxus for entangling him in this seemingly endless ordeal.

As he contemplated the daunting task ahead, Ace couldn't shake the feeling of despair creeping into his thoughts. Three decades spent pursuing a goal that seemed perpetually out of reach left him questioning the purpose of it all. Reflecting on his journey through various worlds, he realized that time had blurred the memories of his past, leaving behind fragmented recollections and fading echoes of a life once lived.

The weight of forgotten memories pressed upon him, a stark reminder of the price he paid for his relentless pursuit. The thought of losing cherished moments and beloved faces to the unforgiving passage of time filled him with a profound sadness. Among the hazy remnants of his past, three names remained steadfast in his mind, a beacon of familiarity in the sea of uncertainty.

Luffy... Sabo... White Beard...

As he sat in contemplative silence, Ace couldn't help but wonder how long it would be until even these cherished memories slipped away into the void of forgotten dreams.

Amidst the frantic chaos enveloping the streets, Ace stood as a solitary figure, a silent observer amidst the frenzied throngs. Around him, the frantic flurry of activity painted a poignant picture of human desperation and fear. Some scrambled to salvage belongings, while others clung desperately to loved ones, their faces etched with apprehension and uncertainty.

Yet amidst the tumultuous scene, Ace remained a stoic presence, untouched by the tide of panic and despair. Immortal and unyielding, he stood alone, a silent witness to the fleeting fragility of mortal existence.

In the midst of the pandemonium, a profound sense of solitude washed over him, a poignant reminder of the isolation that often accompanies eternal life. As the world around him spiraled into chaos, Ace stood as a solitary sentinel, burdened by the weight of his immortality and haunted by the specter of forgotten memories.

Before he could linger in his reverie, a palpable presence seized his senses—an ominous aura he had encountered long ago, cloaked in darkness and malevolence. With a swift turn, his body tensed, locking eyes with the sinister entity that loomed in the distance, its malevolent grin stretching unnaturally wide, mocking his very existence.

A surge of primal fury ignited within Ace, an instinctual urge to eradicate this corruption that defiled the fabric of reality itself. Yet, amidst the tumult of emotions, a perplexing notion seized his thoughts—an enigmatic association with stories, as if reality itself were but a tale spun upon a two-dimensional canvas. The disconcerting shift in his perception left him unsettled, a fleeting glimpse into a realm beyond comprehension.

Shaking off the unsettling sensation, Ace fixated on the crimson-hued creature before him, its eerie smile casting a chilling aura that permeated the space between them. In that moment, the cacophony of surrounding chaos faded into silence, eclipsed by the weight of their confrontation. It was then that the dark entity, sensing the tension, chose to break the eerie stillness that enveloped them.

(Dark Red Goblin) "How do you like the show, Ace?"

(Ace) His voice wouldn't come out, a few gasp escape as he tried to speak until he calmed himself and spoke with a growl. "Y-You... did this?!"

(Dark Red Goblin) "Well, you where the one that started it. I just found it fun and contributed on this Gladiator fight." He states.

(Ace) "You made my friends die..." His voice lowers.

(Dark Red Goblin) "You killed them the moment you got here, Guardian."

(Ace) He scowls "What the fuck are you talking about?! How did I killed them?! The fuck is a Guardian?!"

(Dark Red Goblin) "Heck, even the Spider kid has more knowledge than you. You are a total rookie."

(Ace) "What did you just call me?" He closes his fists.

(Dark red Goblin) "You are weak, Ace."

In an instant, Ace surged forward, propelled by an inferno enveloping his clenched fist, aiming to strike the Red Goblin. Yet, in a display of preternatural agility, the malevolent entity sidestepped effortlessly, a mere flick of his finger sending Ace hurtling through the park, carving a trail of destruction in his wake. Crashing into the remnants of a nearby restaurant, the shattered glass obscured his form as he grappled with searing pain coursing through his being.

Struggling to reconcile the overwhelming strength displayed by his adversary, Ace found himself grappling with a disconcerting sense of unease, as if the very fabric of reality had been warped beyond recognition. Despite his formidable abilities, the inexplicable might of the Red Goblin left Ace questioning the nature of their confrontation. Yet, before he could delve further into his apprehensions, the ominous figure breached the threshold of the ruined establishment, casting a shadow over Ace's beleaguered form.

(Dark Red Goblin) "You really think you can hurt a complex multidimensional being like me? I think the knowledge bestowed to you made you smarter, not ignorant."

(Ace) His forehead drips with blood as he asks the Goblin a question. "What the hell are you?" He asked, hesitantly.

(Dark Red Goblin) "Might as well tell you just a bit, people don't seem to understand what we are." He pauses "We are a virus that plagues the infinitely expanding internet. We feed on the negativity from readers. We invade stories and feed upon them. Everything we see, is viewed on a 1D line from where we exist, outside of stories. Every app that is made to create stories, we are there. Every website created, we are there. Knowledge and Imagination are our fuel. Crimes, wars, suicides, and everything that involves negativity is caused by us. We make authors give up, thanks to cyberbullying and other contributing factors. The depravity of humanity is something that exceeds our expectations, but we don't complain, we celebrate it. Because, thanks to the internet, humanity just get more unhinged by the generation. Our influence is so vast, that there are teenagers who can't even read! They are on 4th grade level while being on 8th grade, can you believe that?! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! AND TO THINK THIS IS JUST THE BEGGINING OF THEIR BRAINS ROTTING AS THEY KEEP GETTING GLUED ON THEIR DEVICES!!! IT'S SO EASY TO CORRUPT! JUST SPREAD A FALSE RUMOR AND EVERYONE WILL EAT IT UP!!!" He sighs "...You want to know, what we are? Ace?" He growls "We are the corruption, we are sin, we are nightmares, we are... the Darkness." He grabs Ace by the throat "And if you ever wish to even compete against us, then you better step up your fucking game and get us some views!"

(Ace) A piercing headache invades his brain, as if splitting in two "HAAAAA!!!!! WH-WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MEEEEEE!!!!! HAAAAAA!!!!!" His body convulses.

(Dark Red Goblin) "Opening your eyes." He scoffs "Now go ahead and get stronger. This wouldn't be a fight if we fought now." He recoils his arm, where he's holding Ace's neck. "The pain will subside. I'll prepare something for you to have fun. Now have a great flight!"

(Ace) "NGH!!! WHAT DO YOU-!"

Ace's words were abruptly cut off as he was violently propelled through the entire expanse of the restaurant, his body acting as a battering ram, shattering each wall in succession. The relentless force hurled him outside, yet he found no respite as he careened through cars, leaving a trail of cracked asphalt in his wake. With unyielding momentum, he crashed through an entire building, emerging on the other side with his face meeting the unforgiving ground.

Twitching involuntarily, Ace lay sprawled amidst the debris, his body now adorned with fresh wounds from the tumultuous journey. Each breath felt like a dagger piercing his lungs, the strain of his exertions palpable in the sharpness of his respiration. Struggling to regain his bearings, he pressed his palms against the ground, slowly endeavoring to rise despite the persistent vertigo clouding his senses.

However, his efforts were abruptly halted as a resounding roar pierced the air, drawing Ace's attention upward in shock. Godzilla, the towering titan, loomed ominously overhead, his gaze fixated upon the fallen warrior. A surge of panic gripped Ace as he realized the imminent threat of the monster's atomic breath, only for his apprehensions to be interrupted by the sudden intervention of Mecha Godzilla.

In a decisive maneuver, the mechanical behemoth intercepted Godzilla's assault, redirecting the devastating blast skyward, where it erupted into a cataclysmic nuclear explosion amidst the billowing clouds above.

(Dark Red Goblin) "Good luck fighting 2 monsters!" he disappears.

(Ace) "Two?" He asked in a confused manner.

As Ace uttered those words, a colossal shadow cast its ominous veil over the cityscape. From the heavens descended a monumental crystalline monolith, hurtling through the atmosphere with inexorable force. Its descent heralded devastation as shards of crystal rained down upon the earth, each impact tearing through the urban landscape with devastating consequences.

With a thunderous crash, the gargantuan crystallized mass collided with the city, upheaving entire districts in its wake. The ground convulsed beneath the weight of the impact, unleashing seismic tremors that reverberated throughout the metropolis, amplifying the chaos and destruction wrought by the cataclysmic event.

Amidst the aftermath of destruction, Ace emerged from the debris, his form battered and bruised from the onslaught. With a determined grimace etched upon his countenance, he surveyed the desolation surrounding him, his resolve unyielding despite the scars of battle that adorned his body.

(Ace) Wipes blood from his lips "Tch... what did that bastard do?" His radio started to relay a message and he answered "Fortune? Kai? Are you guys okay?"

(Miss Fortune) Through the radio "Ace?! Oh, thank the Gods! Are you okay?!" She asked worriedly

(Ace) "Just a few cuts here and there. But answer my questions first." He reminded.

(Miss Fortune) "Y-yes, we are fine! Ace but I have bad news!" She answered with panic through the comms.

(Ace) "What? What is it?" Static envelops the call "Fortune?! Kai?!"

(Miss Fortune & Kai'sa) "There's a second Go-" Call gets interrupted.

(Ace) "Girls? Girls?!" The Earth trembles "What the-?"

Ace's heightened senses snapped into focus, honing in on the colossal crystalline mountain before him. His jaw dropped in astonishment as he beheld the unexpected movement emanating from its depths. A sense of foreboding gripped him tightly as a thunderous roar resonated throughout the desolate cityscape, shaking the very foundations of the ruined metropolis.

From the heart of the crystallized mass emerged a towering behemoth, bearing striking resemblance to Godzilla yet adorned with crystalline formations adorning its shoulders and tail, crowned with a regal coronet atop its brow. With a surge of intuitive insight, Ace recognized the creature's identity in an instant.

As realization dawned upon him, a surge of determination coursed through Ace's veins, his fists clenching tightly at his sides as he uttered the name of the monstrous entity that stood before him.

(Ace) "...Space Godzilla..."

(Dark Space Godzilla) "GRHHHH! ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!"

In the blink of an eye, Space Godzilla unleashed its cosmic breath upon Mecha Godzilla, forcefully propelling the mechanical titan backward until it collided with a nearby skyscraper, the impact sending shockwaves through the urban landscape. With ruthless precision, the celestial creature then hurled crystallized pillars at its mechanized foe, impaling and immobilizing it within a prison of shimmering crystal formations.

A contemptuous sneer twisted Space Godzilla's features as it turned its attention to Godzilla, regarding the original creature with disdainful superiority. In response to this challenge, Godzilla roared defiantly, refusing to yield its territory to an alternate incarnation of itself. With primal fury, the two titanic beings clashed in a primal struggle for dominance.

As Godzilla unleashed its atomic breath in a show of force, Space Godzilla swiftly countered, manipulating a crystal formation into a makeshift shield to deflect the devastating blast. Enraged by this defiance, Godzilla advanced aggressively, only to fall victim to Space Godzilla's cunning manipulation of gravitational forces.

Drawing upon the energies of the crystallized mountain, Space Godzilla deftly altered the gravitational field, lifting Godzilla into the air with irresistible force before hurtling the iconic creature across the landscape, sending it crashing into a distant mountain range with bone-rattling force. Unperturbed by its triumph, Space Godzilla fixed its gaze upon Ace with a chilling intensity, the weight of its malevolent presence bearing down upon him.

(Ace) "...Crap..."

Ace's acute senses alerted him to the imminent cosmic breath hurtling toward him, prompting a swift evasion that spared him from annihilation. Yet, the ensuing explosion unleashed a devastating shockwave that propelled him mercilessly, sending him crashing into the shattered remnants of a nearby edifice. With gritted determination, he clawed his way out of the debris, his resolve unyielding as he propelled himself toward the looming menace.

As crystal pillars hurtled toward him, Ace's reflexes kicked into overdrive. With calculated precision, he leaped and twisted, using the pillars as springboards to navigate the chaotic battlefield. Seizing the final pillar, he halted its trajectory with Herculean strength, transforming it into a makeshift projectile hurtling toward Space Godzilla.

Despite the creature's swift reaction, Ace pressed his assault relentlessly. With unyielding resolve, he drop-kicked the crystal shield, propelling it into Space Godzilla's formidable frame with bone-rattling force. Unleashing a primal roar, he ignited his fist with searing flames, delivering a thunderous uppercut that reverberated through the air, forcing the celestial monstrosity's skull backward into its crystalline sanctuary.

For a fleeting moment, Ace dared to believe he had inflicted significant damage. Yet, his senses abruptly sounded the alarm as he found himself ensnared within Space Godzilla's gravitational grasp. With mounting dread, he braced himself for the onslaught, summoning every ounce of his resolve to withstand the impending onslaught.

As Space Godzilla unleashed its devastating cosmic breath, Ace invoked armament Haki, channeling his inner strength in a desperate bid to resist the cataclysmic assault. Yet, the sheer force of the blast proved overwhelming, driving him downward with bone-shattering impact, the ground trembling violently beneath the onslaught as beams of light pierced the earth in a symphony of destruction. Through gritted teeth, Ace bore the brunt of the onslaught, his anguished cries echoing through the chaos-ridden battlefield.

Deep beneath the earth's surface, surrounded by the searing embrace of molten lava, Ace winced in agony as his body bore the brunt of the scorching heat. With grim determination, he rose to his feet, the intense heat of the lava casting an ominous glow upon his form. With a surge of energy, he propelled himself upward, using his Devil Fruit powers to ascend toward the surface.

As he neared the top, his observation Haki bristled with warning, alerting him to an imminent attack. Reacting with lightning reflexes, Ace punched through the wall of the cavern, forging a new path to safety. Evading the searing blast of Space Godzilla's Cosmic Breath, he felt the scorching heat graze his skin, a narrow escape from certain devastation. Pressing onward, he carved a passage through the earth, determined to reach the surface by any means necessary.

Yet, fate seemed intent on thwarting his efforts, as another attack loomed on the horizon. Sensing the impending danger, Ace hastily sought refuge, crafting a makeshift underground cave just in time to evade the onslaught. Clenching his teeth against the searing heat, he unleashed his fiery powers, propelling himself upward with explosive force, his flames melting the earth around him as he surged toward the surface.

Emerging into the open air, Ace found himself face to face with Space Godzilla, the towering behemoth unleashing a deafening roar. Undaunted, Ace prepared to retaliate, his determination unwavering as he charged his own attack.

Before he could unleash his power, however, a sudden attack from behind sent him reeling, the force of Godzilla's atomic breath detonating with devastating impact against Space Godzilla's crystalline fortress. Sent hurtling backward by the explosive force, Ace crashed into a nearby vehicle, his body battered but his resolve unbroken.

As the two titans clashed in a cataclysmic showdown, their dueling breath attacks threatened to tear the very fabric of the continent asunder. Witnessing the impending catastrophe, Ace knew he had to intervene to prevent untold destruction.

Summoning every ounce of his strength, he rose to his feet, bracing himself against the powerful shockwave that threatened to engulf him. Focusing his energy, he channeled his power into a formidable attack, his muscles tensing as he unleashed a torrent of energy aimed directly at Space Godzilla.

(Ace) "Ahhh..." Smoke escapes from his lips "One attack... that's all I got... Just one attack..." His arms glow yellow, lighting aflame "If I can kill you... I stand a chance... against Him!" The floor below him start to melt "NGHH!!! I'M GONNA START WITH YOU, SPACE GODZILLA!!!" 

With a commanding gesture, Ace raised his arms skyward, conjuring a swirling vortex of flames that coalesced around Space Godzilla like an infernal tempest. The fiery maelstrom surged in size and intensity, ensnaring the cosmic beast in its searing embrace.

Caught off guard by this sudden onslaught, Space Godzilla found himself ensnared in a perilous struggle, his attempts to resist Godzilla's beam struggle with his own, while the pirates is attacking at the same time proved futile against the overwhelming power of Ace's elemental fury and Godzilla's relentless onslaught. As the flames converged upon him, panic flickered in the creature's eyes, realization dawning that his fate was all but sealed.

With a resounding roar that echoed across the battlefield, the swirling vortex of flames transformed into majestic dragons of fire, their scorching breath engulfing Space Godzilla in a blazing conflagration. Amidst the inferno, Ace's voice rang out with a commanding authority, the names of his techniques reverberating with power and purpose. 

(Ace) "GREAT!"

The flaming dragons bite down on to Space Godzilla's arms.

(Ace) "FLAME!"

Their flaming bodies burn the titan's flesh.

(Ace) "COMMANDMENT...!"

Both the flaming dragons and Space Godzilla glow.

(Ace) "DEMON INFERNO!!!!"

The twin dragons of flame enveloped Space Godzilla in a cataclysmic explosion, rivaling the fury of a super volcano as it erupted with unrestrained power. Ace's primal scream echoed through the heavens, a manifestation of his unleashed might that pierced through the thick clouds shrouding the devastated city below. The explosion, a brilliant beacon of light, painted the skies visible even from the distant reaches of outer space.

Space Godzilla, grievously wounded by the infernal assault, faltered in its struggle against Godzilla, its cosmic form succumbing to the relentless onslaught of the original's atomic breath. With a resounding detonation, the cosmic invader's upper body was consumed in a devastating blast, marking its ultimate demise. Godzilla bellowed triumphantly, asserting its dominance over the battlefield with a fierce roar that echoed through the shattered landscape.

Watching the scene unfold with a hardened resolve, Ace locked eyes with the victorious Godzilla, a silent vow burning in his gaze. The next encounter between them would be different—he was determined to emerge victorious.

Exhausted and battered, Ace collapsed to the ground, his body wracked with pain as his lifeblood pooled beneath him. The injuries sustained from Space Godzilla's devastating attack proved more severe than anticipated, and he knew he would need time to recover from the ordeal. With a heavy sigh, he slipped into unconsciousness, the weight of his exhaustion claiming him.

In the aftermath of the battle, Godzilla, seemingly satisfied with asserting its dominance, retreated from the scene, leaving behind a trail of destruction in its wake. Meanwhile, Miss Fortune and Kai'sa, having tirelessly searched for Ace, finally found him lying unconscious amidst the rubble. Gently, Miss Fortune turned Ace's body to face upwards, her expression filled with concern as she tenderly brushed the hair from his face, her touch a soothing gesture amidst the chaos that surrounded them.

(Kai'sa) "This man is going to give us a heart attack one day..." She says exasperated.

(Miss Fortune) "He's alive... that's all I care for..." Her voice slightly cracks.

(Kai'sa) "Let's take him home. It's been a long day." She calms down and puts her hand on Miss Fortunes shoulder.

(Miss Fortune) "It really has... 3 Godzilla's in one day and only one managed to walk away." She sighs.

(Kai'sa) "I hope things finally come to an end..."

(Miss Fortune) "I have a feeling... that day is coming close. And I'm sure Ace will stop it, he always does." She smiles.

From afar, Dark Goblin looks down at the planet. At the surface of the moon as he grins.

(Dark Red Goblin) "It's time to put an end to this mini arc... Who will be... his final hunt?"

To be continued...
