"Madison be careful or you'll get dizzy from spinning around in that chair so much." The said brunette teenager groaned in annoyance at Sam as she stopped spinning the chair repeatedly. "You sound as bad as my dad." She whined while throwing her head back.

Sam held his hands up in surrender, "Hey I'm just telling the truth." He said making Madison sigh as she pulled her knees up to her chest in her seat and rested her chin on her arms.

"You wanna talk about it? You know, future coworker to future coworker." Sam asked as Madison brushed her hair from her face. "It's just," Madison sighed, "Ever since Boston dad, he's been the definition of a helicopter parent. Like yes, I get both Andrew and mom died due to Titans, I was there both times, but I want to do this I want to work for and help Monarch." She vented, brushing her hair back from her face.

"I want to meet other Titans like Mothra, that kept me steady when I was with mom traveling and dad was trying to recover both grief of Andrew's death and the whole alcoholism." She sighed as she buried her face in her arms.

Sam gave the teenager a sympathetic smile. "Hey it could be worse." He said making Madison lift her head up slightly to look at him. "How?" "He could keep you from visiting Monarch and Castle Bravo." Madison snorted at that. "Oh you're definitely not wrong."

"Argo this is Colonel Diane, we need a medical area set up for a passenger we are bringing on board." Chan's voice rang through the communications channel gaining the two's attentions.

Sam looked at Madison and nodded as he went to one headset while Madison picked up the other. "An actual human?" Madison asked into the communications channel. "Maddie I don't even know what she is at this point." Chen replied making Madison's face turn worried.

"We'll stay down here to see what we can find on her of what remains here, looks like a reminments of a fire was burning before the winds got em." Rick said through his side of the communications channel. "So you guys go get her back to the Argo." He said, "Understood." Madison looked at Sam who had the same worried expression as the teenager.

"Oh you're not the only one worried kid." Sam told her making Madison sigh as she took the headset off to run a hand through her hair.

The wait for them was antagonizingly slow to the two as they kept an ear out on the coms to see if anything else happened. Sam had left and came back briefly with some medical equipment to place in the control room.

"Alright you two got her?" "Yeah we're sure." Madison and Sam looked to the entrance seeing the main group (minus Rick, Diane and Griffin) slowly making their way but leading the way and being supported by Mark and Chen was Rue's still unconscious form.

"What in the actual hell?" Sam asked in disbelief, "Holy shit." Madison muttered as the two got out of their chairs. "What is she?" Sam asked as Mark and Chen carefully got Rue on the floor (not exactly trusting the cot to support her body weight but placing down some of the coats and blankets to add comfort for her). "We have no idea, all we know is that Godzilla was shielding her." Chen explained just as confused by Rue as Madison and Sam.

Sam grabbed a tablet for the signal scans and hovered over Rue with it. Madison noticed Moll, Lora and Belivera land on the main table in the center of the room getting off of Fairy and Garugaru respectively but chose not to bother the three (seeing three tiny Japanese girls with a miniature version of Mothra and a mechanical dragon slightly larger than it was probably the least strangest thing she experienced with her time around Monarch) and focused on Rue.

Sam raised a brow at her scans. "Woah that's weird. She's definitely the signal source we sensed of a new Titan but she's barely giving off radiation levels, I've seen more radiation levels on newborn Titan's." Sam explained his scans

"Because she's never fed off of radiation even once since becoming that with the Golden One's DNA." Belivera said gaining their attentions to the three sisters.

"Oh good I thought I was going insane on seeing three tiny girls who have a robot dragon and a mini Mothra." Sam said in almost a sarcastic tone.

Moll gave a quick punch to Belivera's arm (which made her yell a hey) as she then quickly greeted the others with a quick bow. "I am Moll, and these are my sisters, my twin Lora and our older sister Belivera. We are fairies and Priestess' to the God King and Goddess Queen. Belivera is the priestess to Godzilla, Lora and I are the Priestess' to Mothra." Moll quickly introduced herself and her sister's to the Monarch agents.

"Isn't Mothra dead though? Everyone saw it with the Boston battle?" Dr Ling asked them as she approached them with her sister Chen.

Moll shook her head, "Mothra has an ability with every egg she lays and when she dies to be reborn in one of the eggs with her memories intact." She explained as Garugaru began to carefully groom Fairy making sure to be mindful of his sharp fangs.

"So like reincarnation?" Madison asked as she crouched down to the Elias sisters eye level by the table. "Exactly." Lora said with a nod and a smile.

"What is this priest role exactly?" Mark asked, confused by the situation. "The priest or priestess is when a person forms a psychic connection to a Titan, they're not only able to communicate with them both verbally and telepathically they're also able to call for them in need." Lora explained to them.

"There have been some stories of a set of twins almost always around Mothra." Chen said remembering. "I never thought we'd actually meet them." She added in awe at the twin fairies.

"When the last ice age happened the Goddess Queen sealed us including Belivera in cocoons until the day the ice age ended to release to continue by her side when she hatched again." Moll explained as she glanced back as Fairy and Garugaru began to play with each other behind them as Belivera watched them (making sure Garugaru was being gentle on Fairy) with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Uh, hey guys?" Rick's voice called through the coms making Sam get to his seat and turn on his mic. "What's wrong Rick?" "Well, the power is a bit iffy here so I'm trying to pull whatever files I can into a USB to read em back on the Argo on the way back to Castle Bravo, there's so many of them holy shit why so many files. Even with basic date origination." Rick explained, muttering that last part under his breath.

"Blame that beast for that." Belivera said as she jestered to Rue over her shoulder not even turning to face her.

Madison carefully looked over her shoulder at Rue who breathed quietly and steadily in her sleep, her face mostly hidden underneath the curtain of golden matted hair.

"What is she?"

"Experiment Zero G?" Colonel Diane read aloud from the monitor on the wall showing one of the files Rick managed to salvage from the lab.

The Argo had set a course back to Castle Bravo and now the Monarch agents went through the files to see what they could learn of Rue. Madison sat on the floor criss-crossed next to Rue's slumbering form (snagging a blanket of the many spares that were on the craft for emergencies and covering her with it) as she watched as well with Moll, Lora and Fairy on her shoulders. Belivera sat on the control table next to Garugaru making a check of his systems after the intense cold and winds from the Antarctic.

"Of what the files say-" Rick paused as he felt his heart stop. "What?" Mark asked him. "Says here she's only twelve." He read aloud. "She's younger than Madison here."

"Oh God.." Dr Chen muttered as Ling held her twin's arm. Mark buried his face in his hands at that. Madison felt sick to her stomach as she glanced at Rue.

'Why would anyone...' Madison didn't finish her internal questions as she shook her head. "Wanna continue Rick?" She asked him making him and the others snap back.

"Right thank you Madison, back on track." Rick began as he looked back at the tablet. "She's twelve and, apparently has been there for two years by these logs. But this is where it gets interesting." He trailed off pulling the file up of genetics.

While there was about twenty percent human genetics, they were overwhelmingly replaced with, "Fifty five percent King Ghidorah?" Sam asked in disbelief with his face paling at that. Madison felt her stomach drop at the meantime of the three headed titan that killed her mother.

"How is that possible to get viable DNA of them when Ghidorah is dead? Godzilla turned all three heads and everything else into ash." Mark asked in shock and disbelief. "Maybe he didn't get all of them as we hoped but enough it couldn't regenerate." Dr Ling theorized still anxious herself.

"The additional genetics though surprise me as well, fifteen percent is Godzilla's while the remaining eight percent is Mothra's." Rick read aloud the other percentages of Rue's DNA structure.

Lora snapped her fingers, "I knew something of the Goddess Queen was rating off of her." She exclaimed making Belivera sigh at that from where she was.

"Okay, Mothra's DNA I'm confused of especially since Mothra died and was absorbed by Godzilla to heal and kill Ghidorah." Dr Chen said, trying to process all of this. "Perhaps all of her scales didn't get absorbed by Godzilla in the fight and survived that fry?" Sam suggested trying to think of how it was possible.

"It's incredible the kid is alive through all of that hell I'm sure of that." Colonial Diane muttered, "You can say that again." Rick agreed.

"The Godzilla DNA explains why she looks like him in a weird way, but with most of her DNA Ghidorah's is surprising me of that." Mark admitted.

Madison looked at Rue behind her while tuning out the conversation of trying to answer the mysteries of the girl, her matted blonde hair slightly in her face covering fair skin and ebony scales across it.

Madison carefully brought her hand over to her, hesitating slightly before she held Rue's claw where the palm was up showing the slight slit in her palm.

Rue let out a quiet whine in her sleep making the others silent immediately as they looked at the two to watch as Rue slowly and carefully held Madison's hand back in her sleep without her claws getting in the way, though the tips of them grazed the top of Madison's hand slightly but it didn't even make even the smallest of scratches.

Madison couldn't help but smile at that as she gave the claw a reassuring squeeze making a thin smile reach Rue's face in her sleep.

Mark looked like he was about to say something before ultimately deciding to not.

A smart choice on the father's end.

It had went to hell quickly once the Argo landed to Castle Bravo.

The downpour was heavy as always but enough to practically hurt people with the raindrops, the hanger was busy as always but with the sight of Rue it was almost more loud.

It was when the girl snapped awake with purple eyes open and wide did it get worse. Rue began to thrash in Mark's and Chen's hold to break free. "RUE WAIT!" Lora yelled but unfortunately the fairy's yells fell on deaf ears and Rue threw the two off her and made a run at Madison who froze like a deer in headlights.

Mark's eyes widened in panic as he pushed himself up. "MADISON!" In an instant Rue jumped over Madison by several feet of an inhuman leap landing behind her and continuing to run.

Madison ran after her first, ignoring how painful the rain felt. "WAIT STOP!" Rue didn't hear her as she jumped over the edge, the slits in her palms opening as her dorsal spikes charged up with a humming.

The palm Atomic Breath fired into the air unaffecting Castle Bravo allowing the force of it to send Rue nose diving into the water off the side of Castle Bravo.

Madison stopped herself from going too far as she peered into the thrashing waves below where Rue dove in with the fairy sisters and soon the others as they ran over.

"Madison-" "Dad, I'm fine, but I'm not sure of her." The said brunette teenager cut off her father.

"I don't know if this is paranoia but I don't wanna know what the hell Godzilla may do if he gets to her." Sam said as he ran to get inside with the others quickly after him (counting Moll, Lora, Belivera alongside Fairy and Garugaru) to main control.

💜⚡✨🖤

Rue swam underneath the waves in panic, trying to figure out which way was to Boston. While the water had a bit of a chill she ignored it in her search.

"Come on come on, which way is home." Rue muttered underneath her breath as she spun in the water in circles trying to figure which way where. She didn't want to breach the surface and risk being seen.

Rue began to hyperventilate a bit as she held her head in her claws, knees pulling up to her chest and purple eyes closing as her tail curled around her allowing her to start to sink under the waves.

"No no no no no. I just wanna go home. I just want mom and dad..." She muttered with her voice shaking.

A slight almost creaking sound in the water was heard around her and a snout rested underneath her feet preventing her from sinking further making Rue gasp in alarm and swim back at the sudden appearance of the king.

Godzilla had a concerned look for the girl as she breathed heavily of her panic and fear. "Easy pup, you are safe now." He reassured her noticing her eyes widening briefly at his talking before she held herself in her claws.

Rue slumped her head down as her form began to shake. "I just wanna go home... I miss my mommy and daddy... I just wanna go home..." The king felt his heart ache at her quiet sobs as he leaned his snout to her allowing Rue to clutch to it like a lifeline of a hug for some sort of comfort.

Rumbling purrs in attempts to comfort her left his throat as he let the girl cry on him. "Belivera, what is of her parents?" He asked his priestess through their bond. "It's a high possibility they're both dead." She responded back after a minute of tense silence making his heart drop. 'That would explain the small hopes of which she wishes it wasn't true.' He thought to himself sadly.

With eons of practiced gentleness with Mothra the king carefully raised a claw up to rest on top of Rue to comfort her. Rue held onto him tighter as she cried with her tail tightening its grip around her waist.

The king could care less of the humans inside their structure watching him, he had more pressing matters at the moment to deal with.

💙🔥🔥💙

"He's actually comforting her." Belivera said in disbelief at the sight from main control of Castle Bravo.

"Mothra definitely rubbed off on him in some way no matter how he thinks otherwise." Moll mused quietly making Lora agree with a small nod.

Madison was the closest to the glass that peered into the water without the shield watching the two. In some strange way it reminded her back at Mothra's temple in China, where the recently hatched Queen had calmed down and allowed her to touch her.

Madison had to admit whenever she thought back on it for some joy she would be questioning how she didn't suffer any radiation effects especially since Mothra had recently hatched at that time and she would've given off intense radiation levels.

"I'd be safe to say he's not gonna eat her?" Sam asked no one in particular aloud as Rick listened to Godzilla's readings. "Well he does sound like he's comforting her with those rumbles, so yes he isn't gonna eat her." Rick confirmed making a weight leave their shoulders.

Mark looked at his daughter who stared at the two titans in wonder. "Mad-" In an instant cutting the father off, Godzilla swam off taking Rue with him, the force of the powerful swim turn shook Castle Bravo slightly but not as intense as in the past.

"Wait where is he going?" Dr Chen asked in a slight panic. "My King where are you taking her?" Belivera asked Godzilla through their bond. "She needs rest and radiation Belivera, we shall sleep on the ocean floor so she's calm before interacting with the humans again." Godzilla answered back making Belivera sigh.

"What did he say?" Moll asked her older sister making Lora, Dr Ling and Dr Chen look at her. "He says he and the beast are going to sleep on the ocean floor so she can get rest and radiation." Belivera relayed the message from the King.

"Wait so he's gonna sleep with her like a parent would with their kid to protect them?" Rick asked the fairies as Mark checked over Madison after the shakes subsisted to his daughter's annoyance. "Pretty much." Belivera sighed out making Garugaru nuzzle her back to comfort her stress allowing Belivera to pet his head.

Godzilla got close to the ocean floor where once his feet touched the sandy and gravel bottom he carefully grabbed Rue in his claws making her hold onto his snout more with a whimper.

"Easy young pup, I am merely changing your position so we can rest." He reassured her watching as Rue glanced around a bit before she let go allowing Godzilla to carefully pull her off to hold in his claws.

The king curled up as he usually did, his tail was about to wrap around himself with his free arm pressed against the ground to support his head when he brought Rue to lay down close to his chest and the arm then rested his chin on the arm giving a good space for Rue to have between the spaces then curled his tail around himself while bringing his other arm down to side as well.

Rue was surprised by the sudden darkness, but it felt comforting to her. The blonde curled up in a similar fashion as the king on the ground keeping close between his arm and throat (in turn Godzilla began to make rumbling purrs to comfort her) as she held her tail like a plush in her arms.

Rue let out a small sigh in content as she felt her person relax while her purple eyes closed. It wasn't long before she drifted off being lulled to sleep by the rumbling purrs of Godzilla, the faint crashing of the waves miles above them and the just as faint whale calls in the distance.

"Sleep easy little one, you are safe now."

Chapter Four: The Panicked Pup
End

Author's Note: Why is it when I'm imagining the chapters in my head their much more fulled out but when I go to write the scenes my brain empties them out?
Like FUUUUUCK I HATE IT

It always happens with all my stories too and it fucking sucks

Anyways-

For anyone needing a visual of the Twins and Belivera I am using Rebirth of Mothra 3 designs for it aka this:

every single time I go through my images for a fic I'm always met with the reminder how many images of Bionicle and Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja of fanart, official images and gifs I have on my phone holy fuck

Yes Belivera does not have her crown in this like in the image, if I'm honest Belivera's outfit looks a lot better without it like yeah it's a thorn design but honestly it looks less busy and fits better with the twins without it aka this

not the best picture I know there's not many good images sadly of the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy, I had struggles finding gifs of the twins and Belivera to begin with!

Also here's image of art I did gods knows how long ago (by photo date apparently April 30th so before I got my cat Leshy apparently) of Rue for anyone needing a visual aid since I did not provide a good description of her alterations (since I did use Willow Shields who I mainly known as Primrose Everdeen from the Hunger Games movies as a face reference):

don't ask why it's sideways Wattpad has this bullshit bug of where images taken by camera on phones register sideways where any other platforms will show it correctly right side up

I am aware I probably drew her arms a bit skinny aka the claw forearms I have not only drawn monster like claws like that in years aka my Creepypasta OC, I wanted to make sure it was a malnourished preteen body type and not thiccc like the Great Spirit Mata Nui or even my OC Serena so sue me

Now that Artificial Titan has reached four chapters I now feel comfortable enough to cross post onto AO3!
I will wait on this though because as of publishing this chapter I am at my older brother's house at the moment and my laptop is at home practically an hour and a half away (I usually don't bring my laptop with me since my phone and Switch with either Cult of The Lamb or Bayonetta are good enough plus a book) so yeah there's that]

Proceed to next chapter?
[YES] [NO]
