Description
“
|
The package is almost secured! Our crew is at the feet of Mechagodzilla! But will they kill each other before Godzilla gets the chance? Betrayal, infighting, and a double-cross that shifts the balance of the story! No one on this crew was honest about their lives, and that might lead to some very real deaths. One thing we do know: Mechagodzilla is about to come online, and one of these two-timing crooks will be in the pilot seat.[1]

Plot
With five minutes until Mechagodzilla fully powers up, Jaion Kulkarni keeps taunting the megalomaniacal Bender, each quip earning Alpha a kick, as Bender views Kulkarni himself as too pathetic to strike. Beta explains to Kulkarni that she knew he and Alpha were in cahoots because of how quickly Alpha leaped after him when she kicked him. Alpha remarks that Kulkarni deserves Mechagodzilla more than anyone, piquing Bender's interest. Kulkarni recounts how his mother built a Mechagodzilla prototype at a British robotics lab to avenge her father. When the military seized the project, she was ruined and Kulkarni himself, then just a schoolboy, was left with no one but his friend Alpha. Bender, unsympathetic, orders Beta to kill them, but before she can cut Kulkarni's throat, one of his drones arrives and slams into her face, his story revealed as a delaying tactic. It shoots Kulkarni and Alpha's restraints as Bender runs for Mechagodzilla's command controls. Chi sprays machine gun fire at Kulkarni and Alpha; when two drones distract him, Alpha tackles him. Kulkarni squares off against Beta; admitting he's no match for her, he lets two drones close around his fists and engages a combat protocol. She leaps at him, knife raised, but he dodges and, hands moving on their own, clobbers her. Alpha knocks out Chi and shouts a warning just before Beta throws her knife at Kulkarni. He barely manages to block it with one of the drones and knocks her off her feet with another punch.
Kulkarni and Alpha rush to Mechagodzilla's command control, but even with the drones firing on him, Bender gets there first and seals the door. Kulkarni, picking up Bender's dropped tablet, explains that he might be able to hack Mechagodzilla if they can survive the next three minutes. Outside, Godzilla abruptly changes direction, heading back towards them. Swinging its claws, Mechagodzilla tries to crush Kulkarni and Alpha as the former furiously types away. Beta and Chi shout for Bender to pick them up, but he crushes them under Mechagodzilla's palm again, preferring to keep the machine's power for himself. Bender soon traps Kulkarni and Alpha in a dead end and decides to power up Mechagodzilla's energy beam, but doing so takes just enough time for Kulkarni to complete the hack. He ejects Bender from Mechagodzilla and has the mech bat him away. Kulkarni and Alpha enter the cockpit and fly Mechagodzilla to the surface. Kulkarni is triumphant, but unable to savor the moment: Godzilla is waiting for them.
