White fur glistened in the moonlight as gossamer wings of myriad colors stretched out. Glowing blue eyes carrying the warmth of a goddess of nature took in the world before her. With the beat of her wings, she took off into the sky, her purpose clear...
Mothra and Battra met in the dark skies, reigniting a battle older than human civilization. They flew past each other, striking with their wings. Turning, the dark moth unleashed Prism Beams from his eyes, which the Goddess of Peace avoided with grace. The people of Japan found themselves transfixed as they watched the dueling deities, a spectacle that was truly once in a lifetime.
The bringer of light clashed head-on with the dark divinity, the two struggling to overpower the other. They forced each other back, Battra unleashing his beams once more and forcing Mothra to retreat. He pursued her for miles, unleashing his rays until they struck her back, sending her into a downward plummet. Battra fired madly upon the prone guardian, relishing in letting loose the hatred he had stored for millennia.
...Until Godzilla announced with a mighty roar that he had arrived, drawing Battra's fury towards the foe he had not finished before. As Mothra tried to recover her strength, Battra unleashed his power upon Godzilla, burying the colossus under a building's rubble. He drew close, eager to continue flexing his new power, only to be caught off guard as Godzilla burst from the rubble. Mothra watched as Battra was grabbed and tossed to the earth like she had been before. Despite how Battra had attacked her, she felt no hatred for him. The dark moth was simply doing what he believed to be right for the planet. They both ultimately fought for the same thing.
Rising up, Mothra unleashed streams of energy from her antennae, sending Godzilla falling down from the surprise attack. Instead of pressing the attack, she descended and got face to face with her counterpart. She pleaded with him to aid her against Godzilla, as energy coursed between them. Mothra related how the nuclear fiend was a threat to both of them and the Earth as a whole. Battra seemed unresponsive, even as Godzilla got back to his feet.
Breaking off contact, Mothra resumed battle, crashing against Godzilla. He was not budged, clawing at her as she frantically beat her wings. Pulling back, the goddess began releasing golden scales from her wings to blanket her foe. Bolts of lightning from her wings struck into the cloud, burning Godzilla as he tried to fight back with his Atomic Ray, only for that to be contorted and sent back upon him. Finally, one of them had obtained the upper hand against the bastard child of human sin.
But it was not to last, as Godzilla's power erupted in a Nuclear Pulse, which dispersed the cloud and sent Mothra reeling back helplessly. She crashed at the base of the Cosmo World Ferris Wheel, which began to creak as it fell towards her. Before she could be trapped by the steel construct, Battra grabbed it, saving her. With his strength he tore it free and used it as a weapon against Godzilla, pinning him beneath it as he and Mothra met once more, ready to put aside their ancient feud and face a true threat to Earth.
Against one, he was an unstoppable force of muscle and nuclear energy. Against both guardians of the world, Godzilla found himself far too slow to deal with the twin moths as they raced through the air, unleashing their respective beams upon him. Eventually he was able to aim true enough to strike both, putting them on the defensive as they thought of a new plan.
Mothra flew overhead, releasing her scales to blanket the nuclear behemoth as Battra unleashed his rays into the cloud. Godzilla cried out as he tried to fight back, the dual assault eventually proving enough to knock him unconscious.
The two grabbed Godzilla, Battra by the upper body and Mothra by the tail, and began to lift. The atomic beast awoke, though. and bit down on Battra's throat. As blood was spilled, Mothra sent electric shocks into the monster's tail in order to keep him still enough to let them carry him out to sea.
Despite the pain wracking his form, the ebony beast still carried the fervor to tear out Battra's flesh, spitting an Atomic Ray where the head connected to the thorax. Battra perished in an instant, eyes growing dim. Mothra released Godzilla's tail, sending both him and the carcass of the dark moth plummeting into the waters. Unleashing her divinity, Mothra flew in a circle above Godzilla, manifesting a holy seal with her symbol emblazoned upon it. It fell down, hammering into the threat to Earth and locking him away.
With the day saved at the cost of a fellow guardian, Mothra returned to dry land and rested. Soon, the Cosmos revealed to the people of Japan that they and the goddess needed to leave to the stars above. The asteroid that began this conflict in the first place was a mere fragment of a behemoth that would destroy the Earth in 1999, and prophecy had demanded Battra go forth and stop it before then. She had promised to do so in his stead if he fell in battle.
Departing into the heavens with her priestesses, Mothra began her years long flight to reach the oncoming asteroid. To help continue safe guarding Earth, though, she released numerous Fairy Mothras so she would still have a presence on this world. As fate would have it, the Fair Mothras acted in helping to defeat an extraterrestrial threat through providing an early warning. Dubbed SpaceGodzilla, the crystalline menace was theorized to have originated from Mothra's trip to space and the G-cells that she carried from her contact with Godzilla. |
