Chapter 3: Warnings

Simon x Ruby: The New EmpireWords: 11657

The next morning, Kira and Holley arrived at a hotel in Miami, Florida where Mikey lived. Inside his room, Mikey was recording for a new episode for his podcast The Titan Truth Podcast.

Mike: Where will you be when the next Titan attacks?

He had collected posters and toys of Simon, Ruby, Earl, and the other Titans, and pictures of him and his wife before she died.

Mike: How will you protect the things and people that matter to you? Today's podcast is brought to you by Gargantua Insurance, the only insurance company that provides Titan protection for your home and personal belongings. Cause Simon may not care for your hopes and dreams, but Gargantua does. Okay, Titan truthers!

Kira and Holley arrived at Kira's door, hearing him still recording his podcast. The 2 knocked on his door, which made him annoyed.

Mike: RECORDING IN PROGESS, GO AWAY!

Mikey went back to making the recording, but Kira and Holley then knocked again which caused Kira to get out his chair and head to the door.

Mike: Unbelievable, WHAT!?

Holley: Uh... Hi, Mikey. Holley Shiftwell we met in Hong Kong.

Kira: And I'm here too Mike, it's me Kira. Me and Todd helped you expose Apex's secret and discovered Mecha-Kassiezilla.

Mike: Oh. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hong Kong and Mecha-Kassiezilla. Yeah that was 3 years ago. Good to see you 2 again.

Holley: That was when my hair was longer.

Kira: And when I was 14.

Mike: You cut your hair. {Chuckles} highlights too, its nice. And you Kira, how's life been since you're still a teenager and with the psychic powers that Mobil gave you back in 2019.

Kira: Oh you know, it's tough but I'm getting better.

Holley: Well me and Kira were wondering if we could get your help with something.

Mike: Me?

Holley and Kira: Mm-hmm.

Mike: Uh, sure. Sure, yeah. Of course, yeah. Come on in, Doctor Shiftwell and you too Kira.

Kira and Holley went into Mikey's room and sat down on a table.

Mike: Have a seat. What can I help you two with? You know, mi casa es su home.

Holley: Okay, so. The sequence on the right, this is a signal that's been interfering with our equipment in the Hollow Earth.

Kira: And me and Ben had psychic visions that have these signals in them.

Mike: Okay.

Holley: And these are drawings by my son Ben and Kira right next to me. And you're gonna think that I'm completely insane.

Mike: No, the patterns are the same in the middle section.

Holley: Yes exactly. Thank you. Look our analysts, they don't know what to make of this. They're talking in circles, they're saying radio interference, coincidence but me and Kira know that you think outside the box.

Kira: We didn't know who else to turn to.

Mike: and they send you 2 here because?

Kira/Holley: No, no one sent us. We came here on our own.

Mike: You know, that's what ironic. You know, the fact that Monarch wouldn't confirm my crucial part in taking down the Emperor Ghidorah possessed Mecha-Kassiezilla, which cost me thousand... hundreds of subscribers on my blog. Oh and the trolls... the trolls online, they question every single thing that I put up. Especially this one troll. This one troll named Ghidorahstan64. You ever heard of him?

Holley: No I don't think I have.

Kira: No but i have seen some trolls trying to justify Keizer Ghidorah's actions when they know he was evil.

Mike: Great, because he's a trash bag, okay? I'm more qualified then half of those people that you have working there. Me, Kira and Todd knew what Simon was doing before anybody at Monarch said...

Kira/Holley: Which is why we are here Mikey. We're here. Okay?

Holley: Can you help us or not?

Mike: That depends. Are you the new boss down at the mess?

Holley: The what?

Mike: The Monarch Hollow Earth Station. The MHES, the mess.

Kira/Holley: Yeah, nobody calls it that.

Holley: I run the Kraken research division but Director Hampton is technically runs the general operations.

Mike: Well, Director Hampton doesn't have a kid who can talk to Ruby an Earl. And a daughter who was gifted psychic powers by Mobil and can telepathically communicate with Simon and the other Titans from far distances.

Holley/Kira: Let us guess, you want to go the Hollow Earth don't ya?.

Mike: I'm so glad I didn't have to say it. I thought you were never gonna ask.

Holley: No, I'm not asking.

Mike: But I really need proof. I mean that would help me with my bona fides for my blog. And I knew that you 2 would the people to help me do that.

Then Kira, heard Simon telepathically trying to talk to her and it sounded like he was worried. She of course responded to the King of the Monsters.

Kira: {Telepathically} Simon, what's the matter?

Simon: Kira there's a new threat coming, an old one that I thought I had defeated long ago with my friends but it's coming back and it much more worse than Keizer Ghidorah.

Kira was shocked to hear that Simon was not afraid of a threat much more worse than Keizer Ghidorah and one that nearly killed Simon and Mobil, but she knew that Simon and his friends were going to save the world once again.

Kira: Don't worry Simon, we'll help you and your family with this old threat.

Simon: Thank you Kira, until we talk to each other again. In the meantime, you and everyone stay safe.

Kira: I will.

Holley then received a notification on her phone, telling her that Simon was waking up from the colosseum. She was shocked by this and Kira told her why Simon was waking up, which made Holley terrified. Mikey continued to talk about having Holley be on his podcast, until she and Kira told him what's happening right now.

Holley: Look something's happening to my son and Kira right here, and me, Tyler, and Inja don't know how to fix it. You work out what's going on, and I will get you anything that you want, okay? That's a promise.

Mike: Well, anything is a lot, but that's generous , but I...

Kira: We have to go. Right now.

Mike: What?

Holley: Simon is on the move again.

Kira: He told me that they're gearing up for a new threat, one that Simon and his friends had defeated long ago and said it's much more worse than Ghidorah.

At Monster Island, Simon and his mate woke up from their nap, but they didn't woke up their daughter.

Name: Eva

Classification: Titanus Gojira

Behavior: Protector

Body Height: 362 Feet

Powers & Skills: Heat Ray Breath, Tail Swipe, Dorsal Slice

Range: Worldwide

???: What's wrong hon?

The king turned to his wife to confess her the warning of the titan's arrival.

Simon: Eva. You better warn the other residence on the island. I'll going for Storm King.

Eva then nodded at his response as Simon left his cave, he and his family residing here. He is now the ocean and heading to somewhere else. Meanwhile at the Monarch Hollow Earth base, the vortex started to open. Ben was busy drawing on his paper when he felt a rumble coming from the portal. He knew who it was and left to go see them. Monarch monitored Simon's current situation and Holley was talking to a man on the phone.

Holley: Okay, listen to me. Simon sense that a threat is coming. And it's much worse than Keizer Ghidorah. But we don't what it is.

Man on the phone: Okay, and would that explain why those Skullcrawlers had red handprints and colorful backs on them during the attack on Rome? They were working for this new threat.

Holley: Yes we believe so.

Man on the phone: Alright get your Titan warning systems and safety bunkers ready, I'll tell the United Nations to ready the militaries on every country for when this threat comes to the surface and keep us updated on what this threat is.

Holley: Okay we'll make sure, thanks for understanding Senator.

After the call, Hampton told her what was happening at the vortex, and on the monitor showed Ruby's arm emerging from the portal. She was now back on the surface albeit drenched in water. Earl soon followed her behind. Thankfully Simon, Ruby and Earl were still siblings, so the Big S didn't mind them being on the surface. Although Earl and Ruby does prefer the Hollow Earth. Ruby sat down while Earl rested besides her, but his infected tooth was getting more worse. Ben knew his friend was in pain, and he told his adopted mom that he was hurt.

Ben: *signs* "He's hurt."

Holley then saw Earl's infected tooth she knew who to call for situations like this.

Monarch agent: Sedatives in place.

A yellow floating machine called the M.U.L.E arrived, carrying the Monarch vet Buck.

Buck: All right, the good news is it's just an infected tooth. But luckily, you've come to the best doctor in town.

Buck then played a song on the radio, and lowered himself to Earl in order to get his infected tooth.

Buck: Touchdown, Buck Wild.

Buck then tightened the hooks ready to pull out the infected tooth, Earl was still asleep and breathed causing Buck's hair to blow and smell the Reptiles stinky breath.

Buck: Whoa Fella. What'd you have for breakfast?

Buck then gave Holley a thumbs up, and she nodded her head giving the okay.

Buck: Yeah, this sucker's ready to come out. All right, let's roll.

He then was pulled back up to the M.U.L.E and the machine started to pull Earl's infected tooth. And the tooth was finally out, although Earl did roar in pain from it. Holley went to the beach to see and talk to Buck about Earl's new metal tooth. The Angry Beast then woke from his nap.

Buck: There she is.

Holley: Bucky. Thanks for getting down here so fast. Nice work.

Buck: You are most welcome. It's not every day you get to climb inside of a 379-foot ape's mouth is it?

Holley: And you're sure it's gonna be strong enough?

Buck: The tooth? Yeah. That's the same polymer composite they use on the vehicle heat shields.

Earl inspected his new tooth, to him it felt weird but he was glad he wasn't in pain. Ruby was glad for this while she's looking after him.

Buck: He could chomp through the Eiffel Tower with that thing.

Holley: Well, good teeth aren't gonna help if he, Ruby Simon team up again to fight this new threat.

Buck: Well. You can't have a Titan with a toothache, can you?

Holley: No.

Buck: Don't worry. Couple of hours he might be a bit groggy, but he'll be good to go back down.

Holley: You know, when I first heard that you were gonna a vet I thought no. That is way too boring for Buck. Then you go and become the weirdest vet in the world.

Buck: Yeah, it's basically me and Doctor Dolittle. Except my animals are bigger.

Holley: I thought finally, someone has made him grow up.

Buck: Nope. Someone tried that back in college, but it didn't really work.

Holley: Oh yeah?

Buck: Yeah, what was it she said to me? "Buck you are not a serious person."

Holley: Oh, he sounds very smart.

Buck: Yeah, ish. He got a PHD.

Holley: Two actually.

Buck: How's your kid and Tyler's kid doing?

Holley: You know. Struggling. Ben's trying to find her place in the world, and Kira is getting used for having psychic powers.

Buck: Yeah, I know how that goes. Minus the psychic powers of course. Don't worry they'll be alright. They got a good mum, dad, stepmom, and step aunt.

Kira had arrived and she and Ben watched Earl inspecting his new tooth.

Ben: *signs* "Rest. You'll feel better."

Kira: Don't worry Earl, you'll be back home in no time.

Earl knew that his and Ruby's friend and Simon's friend were right.

Ben: *signs* "New tooth looks good on you."

Kira: Yeah, you won't have to worry about an infection again.

Earl: Well...Thanks.

Earl knew that they were right, he did had to admit that his metal tooth did look good on him.

Ruby: Squad solidarity?

Earl: Squad solidarity!

Earl then hugged his sister gently, feeling better of having his infected tooth removed. Then a Monarch agent came to see Holley.

Monarch agent: Doctor Shiftwell. You're guest has been asking for you.

She knew who it was, it was Mikey.
