Daikaiju Yuki

• It cannot be understated how amazing it was how the world recovered after the Great Fire had all but destroyed it. After five-hundred years, the world is teeming with beautiful Scenery Porn and odd animals in many places. In particular, there are the lush jungles of Avarta, the lively tropical islands of Tarakona, and the absolutely vivid forests of Laurentia (baring the ruined cities in places, of course).
• The Pantheon Colossi. Basically, giant monsters were summoned from the Earth after the bombs went off so that they could act as Gaia's Vengeance and take us out. But then Mokwa, compassionate to our plight, convinced most of them that we were worth protecting, and that's just what they did. And the kaiju themselves are rather inventive and cool by themselves:
  • Narajin - A humanoid Chinese lion right out of Eastern artwork.
  • Ganejin - A muscled-out four-armed humanoid elephant that can charge its body with electricity.
  • Alkonoth - A huge giant ibis and the only Pantheon kaiju capable of flight.
  • Jhalaragon - A super fast giant frilled lizard/basilisk lizard cross that can outmaneuver most foes.
  • And finally, Mokwa, a gargantuan bear that can overpower almost every opponent, and even fire a goddamn Breath Weapon like Godzilla!
• Narajin vs. Ganejin is the first Behemoth Battle in the series, and it doesn't disappoint. The elephant kaiju's raw power and Shock and Awe abilities are shown in full, while Yuki utilizes her combat training to help Narajin keep pace.
  • As the fight continues, Yuki volunteers to investigate the person heading towards the temple, and henshins her way out of Narajin to be sent flying towards the temple. She only injures her leg in the process.
  • Then it's revealed who's trying to become Ganejin's host...a ten-year old boy named Manvi, or Manny. It turns out he was the only one who didn't turn tail when Ganejin awakened, and he's ready as he'll ever be to take the mantle. Even Yuki is quite impressed. And sure enough, he's worthy enough to be given the role, ending the fight and making an ally out of Ganejin.
• The trip through the volcanic channel. How many times do you see the interior of a lava flow described like a dazzling light show? Either way, it's, in Narajin's words, the lifesblood of the Earth, and both person and kaiju are left feeling near-invincible going through it.
• The Battle of Tarakona is made of this, being a battle in which all five of the Pantheon Colossi are involved.
  • First, Mokwa and Alkonoth make a Dynamic Entry out of the nearby volcano, looking like demons crawling out of Hell in the process.
  • As they charge towards Narajin and Ganejin, a sonic boom rings out. Jhalaragon joins the fight, jumping onto Alkonoth's back to bite her.
  • From there, the fight divides into Ganejin vs. Mokwa, and Narajin/Jhalaragon vs. Alkonoth. The bird attempts to lift the lion kaiju in the air, but all she gets is a kick in the chest. Then he utilizes the nearby lava to burn Alkonoth into submission.
  • Not one to be bested, Alknonoth fakes her weakness so that she can impale Narajin in the chest, then the arms, and then other places. Just before she can finish the job, both Ganejin and Mokwa collide into her.
  • Nearing death's door, Narajin encourages Yuki to reach out to the lava so that they may draw from its mana. Using her concentration, she makes the Earth bubble up lava, sweeping the five kaiju into the ocean. It heals Yuki and Narajin up and then some.
  • During the power high, Yuki taps into a latent power of Narajin, and fires a ball of burning green plasma from their mouth at Alkonoth, hitting her in the head and knocking her out cold. Yuki can barely contain her excitement at this.
  • Mokwa ultimately leaves the fight curb-stomping the other kaiju, shacking Jhalaragon to the side, blasting Narajin with her own Breath Weapon, and then doing the same to Ganejin after biting down on him. She only leaves after Yuki triggers a memory of hers.
• Although we never hear the conversation, Alkonoth tears into Ivan for daring to forcibly control her. They only work together out of necessity from there.
• The kaiju moving out from Tarakona to Laurentia, all determined as ever to stop the end of the world. Alkonoth carries Narajin by the shoulders into the sky while Ganejin rides Jhalaragon's frill like a water-skiier. As the narrator proudly states:
  ''Alone, the kaiju were only capable of what their individual abilities allowed. Together, the Pantheon could accomplish wonders.
• Alkonoth carrying the Pantheon above the barrier to Laurentia.
• After the Pantheon is tricked into attacking a town of civilians, they are understandably horrified and brought low. However, Manny, after his initial Freak Out, stoicly looks to the horizon, and gives a Rousing Speech that, as the narration points out, would be naiive in any other circumstance, but is now exactly what they need now.
  Manny: Ganejin is too big and too strong for the world he lives in. But he's my friend. You're all my friends, and we've seen things no one should see and done things no one should do, but we still have to keep going. If we stop now, everyone will die anyway, so there's nothing else we can do about it besides finish what we started. There's no choice besides...Just keep going.
• After everyone's thrown in jail, things aren't looking too hot. Then Manny reveals that he kept Yuki's stone just in case. Even without the amulet to go with it, Yuki is able to send a message for rescue. Which Narajin does, breaking through the jail cell with no effort at all. He then mobilizes the rest of the kaiju to go after where one of the bombs is.
• The hosts infiltrating the facility near the volcano and getting their amulets back.
• The Final Battle against the Gargoyle. It starts out with the smaller version getting some attacks in before Ganejin rips its arm off.
  • Then the REAL Gargoyle shows up, crushing the smaller one under its palm. After they're pelted with red plasma, Yuki taps into a much-discussed major source of mana: The Power of Friendship. Through their shared trials and tribulations, the Pantheon is able to gain a major power boost, and they all proceed to shoot their respective breath weapons at the abomination. Then Narajin hits in the head with a flying roundhouse kick while Alkonoth drops Ganejin onto it with the force of a meteor. Jhalaragon envelops it in liquid fire just for good measure.
  • Not long after Mokwa shows up, the Gargoyle rises up again, this time with a pair of wings and a rocky exoskeleton. Undeterred, the Pantheon allows Mokwa to join in (albeit she's still not on their side), and once the bear and Ganejin are carried off by the monster, Narajin and Alkonoth follow in the air.
  • The finale of the fight is in an abandoned city, where Narajin bounds across the dilapidated skyscrapers. Soon, after the others soften the Gargoyle up, Narajin impales its chest and slices through its neck with the sharpened top of a skyscraper as if it were a spear. Then, using the now broken spear parts, Yuki and Narajin impale the horror through the eyes just as it was charging up a plasma blast. Right before it explodes in spectacular fashion, Yuki has one Hell of a Call-Back.
  Yuki: It's time to party.
• Alkonoth blasting the Laurentian soldier that controlled Mokwa into nothing.
• Yuki and her friends completely dismantling Houston's plan. First after Mokwa joins them and fully forms the Pantheon at last, they all sprint towards the LCC's main towers, intent on making the evil man pay. The countdown to their proximity to the towers amps up the excitement until they get there.
  • Upon reaching the towers, they proceed to raid it all, with Ganejin shaking the foundation, Jhalaragon destroying the gates holding the inner city slums back, Mokwa going for the center, and Alkonoth helping Narajin to the top after the latter ascends the tower for a bit, Rampage style.
  • After breaking into the Houston's office, Yuki confronts the executive, and gets to watch as his attempt at detonating the bombs fails due to Jhalaragon disabling the connection. Not long after Houston starts unraveling, Yuki allows Ivan to exact vengeance on the villain who led him astray by having Alkonoth impale him with her beak and rip him in half.
• Ganejin and Alkonoth burying the remaining nuclear warheads in a place to the north where no one will find them.
• The Pantheon firing their breath weapons at the central tower of the LCC, bringing it down upon the empire that Houston had treasured, and ensuring that the mistakes of the past may never be repeated.

Y2K: Yuki Conquers the World

• Yuki's idea of an impressive date with Midori is to show her and Narajin off. And how do they do it? By fighting a massive deep sea leviathan. In this case, a giant squid that's been menacing the place. It gets hairy eventually, so they all end up fighting on the ocean floor, culminating with Narajin firing a plasma blast into the sea monster's mouth, blowing a hole through it (and accidentally coating Midori in ink).
• The Pantheon being reunited to find the distress call in Alkebulan, complete with Dynamic Entry. Ganejin in particular gets a flashy entrance, rolling across the ground before landing in a crouching position.
• Mungonde, the mandrill kaiju guardian of Alkebulan. Even before we see him, Allie tells the others how he managed to fight off the destroyers that menaced his homeland, by himself. And when he attacks the Pantheon, we can see exactly why. Simply put, the fight between him and five other kaiju is a total Curb-Stomp Battle in his favor. Sure, they get some hits in, but he spends most of the time evading their attacks, getting his own in, utilizing the environment, and even using them against each other (such as tricking Mokwa into charging into Narajin).
• The fact that the nature of Alkebulan has remained mostly unchanged from modern-day Africa, particularly how a lost of the places have not been renamed. Fitting, as it was one of the places affected the least by the great fire.
• The Alkebulan National Council outvoting Obasi and forcing him to help the Pantheon.
• The Pantheon's long journey through Alkebulan. Along the way, they meet all sorts of animals that have mostly gone unchanged throughout the centuries (including elephants and crocodiles), and see many famous African landmarks like Mount Kilimanjaro and the Nile River. As in the first book, Scenery Porn is at its finest again.
• The Buggos are bad guys for sure, but it's quite impressive how they can fuse together in order to form a biological Combining Mecha.
  • Their leader, Charybdis, is terrifyingly awesome with how it can form black holes with his mouth, the only evidence of its actions being huge gaping holes in the ground, one of which gets turned into a whirlpool later on (inspiring his namesake).
• Aten. She's the newest member of the Pantheon, and she's as bizarre as she is awe-inspiring. She can stand her ground against the Dreadnought kaiju, communicate with humans (albeit in a very disturbing way), and utilize blasts/contructs of pure energy to fight. Also, she levitates to get around.
• Despite Yata's warnings about the Dreadnought threat, Yuki remains steadfast that they'll face them.
• The sex scene between Yuki and Midori is described as a literal reality-breaking experience for the former, with descriptions of supernovas and the universe abounding.
• It may have resulted in the near-death of Narajin, but Yuki manages to take full control of the kaiju in order to rescue Midori during the Mombasa invasion. With the priestess in hand, she manages to get her out of there with nary a scratch.
  • She even manages to fight off the Buggos, biting into one in order to get some extra mana.
• Midori, and later Yuki, ressurecting (or at least waking up) Narajin with a special song in his name, complete with a full set of lyrics in the text.
• Yuki and Midori going down the hole/whirlpool where Mombasa once stood to rescue the Pantheon from a cage made of pure energy. The priestess creates a diversion while the other one knocks out Charybdis while plummeting into the vortex. Then, after fighting off the Buggos, Narajin blasts the prison three times to destroy it.
  • After that, Ganejin and Mokwa blast a hole leading up to the surface. Then the incredible happens. The Pantheon all join hands, and literally beam their way up towards the light like a giant rocket made of kaiju!
• The Final Battle against the Dreadnought kaiju, under the shadow of Kilimanjaro.
  • To begin with, Yuki and Narajin's plan is to utilize the massive dormant volcano to power up the now-weakened Pantheon. The rest distract the Dreadnoughts, with Ganejin in particular grabbing Charybdis and sealing its mouth shut while Mokwa beats on it.
  • Utilizing the power to manipulate volcanic activity from the last story, Yuki/Narajin manages to get Kilimanjaro to erupt...and it does so in such a spectacularly explosive way that the land isn't so much covered in lava as it is flooded by a tsunami of it. It crashes into the kaiju and empowers them all (Dreadnoughts included).
  Obasi: This is it! The fires of Kilimanjaro!
  • Narajin managing to hit a Flying Buggo square in the face when it rises out of the lava.
  • The Pantheon working together to lift Charybdis in the air and carry it away from the lava flow. Everytime the monster tries to generate a black hole, Ganejin shocks it into submission. Aten is gravely injured by the Buggos in the process, but she keeps helping as they succeed in getting the big alien out of there.
• After Aten's host is killed, Alkonoth is decapitated, and Ivan is crippled to near-death, Midori steps up to plate...and henshins with Aten. What follows is Midori going into berserker mode and doing to the Dreadnoughts what the Doom Slayer does to demons.
  Yata: Is that...?
  Yuki: Daikaiju Midori.
  • First, she blasts the Big Buggo into splitting apart. Then she takes one Flying Buggo, and crushes its head so that its brain is visible. Not satisfied, she forms a huge set of fanged jaws from pure energy to bite into it.
  • The Land Buggo gets all its limbs torn off before being tossed by Aten to Ganejin and Mungonde. Manny, still furious at what it did to Ivan, has Mungonde lift him up so that he can fall onto the alien elbows-first and crush it to death.
  • Carybdis attempts to utilize its black hole attack, but all Aten does is toss the remaining Flying Buggo into it, and fire at the ground below the kaiju, causing it to stumble and suck up rocks instead. Then she gets close enough to fire at it point-blank, but not before Midori has this to say to the doomed alien:
  Midori: You wish you could eat a bad bitch like me.
  • She then blasts it in the face and mouth, causing its inner singularity to go haywire, and suck it to be turned inside-out and sucked into its own black hole. The singularity then dissapears, the kaiju with it.
  • Needless to say, everyone is equal parts starstruck and horrified afterwards.
• Allie and Obasi volunteering to stay behind to protect the Earth while the others go fight the Dreadnoughts. The latter leaves through Mungonde going off into the sunset, while Mokwa leaves through the wrecked remains of Kilimanjaro.
• The Viking Funeral held in Scythia for Ivan. The narration states with confidence that the man will become a legendary hero for generations to come, but also just a good husband and friend as well.
• The last scene in the book is of Aten utilizing the power of the stars to help the Pantheon awaken their Universe forms. And sure enough, they're as awesome as you'd expect kaiju to look when they're about to go into space and take on the Dreadnought menace once and for all.
  • Narajin gets blue fur and claws like chrome steel.
  • Ganejin gets a full coating of metal-like armor and tusks like black basalt.
  • Jharlaragon gets a body full of bioluminecent green lights and great circular blades of energy to skate on and defy gravity with.
• After the above, the Pantheon colossi (minus Mokwa and Mungande) zoom into the outer limits of the universe, more than confident that they can stop the oncoming Alien Invasion.

Scythian Frost and Other Stories

Scythian Frost:

• According to legend (in a world where All Myths Are True, of course), Alkonoth's rival during the great fire all those millennia ago was Vulpog, a giant Arctic fox kaiju, and a destroyer. The battle isn't described in any detail, but the big bird emerged victorious, cementing her as the guardian of Scythia.

Outrigger:

• Kai soldiering on to deliver the medical supplies despite Taika's death by leviathan attack.
• Eventually, the mad urchin leviathan catches up to Kai. But this young man has been sailing the ocean for years, and he shows the monster how much of a seabound Badass Driver he can be, effortlessly avoiding a whole maze of deadly urchin spikes as it tries to do him in. It even seems to give up for a while after he escapes that assault.
• When the urchin has him dead to rights, Kai just tells it to choke on him. But then...
• ...the worm leviathan from earlier, after getting its head struck by the urchin last time, rises again to finish off its insane rival, biting into it and cracking it open like a nut.

Lair of the Devourer:

• Apparently, Akuma once wrestled a lion into submission.
• Akuma throwing an axe at a tree so that the branch falls onto a poacher, knocking him unconscious.
• The giant mountain gorilla pulling a Big Damn Heroes and saving Akuma and Debare. Twice, no less. The first time has it drive the hunters away, while the second time gives our heroes the edge they need in protecting Ammit, squashing Tooth flat in the process.
• Debare slamming into Enofe Chuk to disarm him and let Akuma reclaim her knife. It gives her the chance to wound him by tossing the knife to slice his eye and distract him from the giant mountain gorilla, who promptly picks him up, and throws him into Ammit's awaiting jaws.
• Ammit. Despite not being a kaiju, she still unloads a Curb-Stomp Battle onto the hunters with little to no help needed.
• Mungonde appearing at the very end to arrest the remaining poachers.

The Pantheon Arrives!:

• This story shows us that not only are there kaiju on other worlds (though Aten kind of already proved that), but there are entire Pantheons as well! And the Warrior Beasts here are proud to demonstrate when they save the day from a rogue kaiju:
  • Xon, a huge arachnid-like beast with scythe-like blades for arms, who slices the foe's own arms off.
  • Gagag, a flying tentacled...thing that whips the monster up with her tentacles.
  • And then there's Deinler, a huge slug-like kaiju and the beasts' "sentencer". As in, executioner. Sure enough, he kills the marauding monster by injecting it full of acidic venom.

Pharaoh of Eels

• Thanks to some good manipulation on Jenni's part, the guard is encouraged to release the eels onto the pirates as a diversion so that everyone can escape. "Re-destruction", indeed. Sure, he gets killed, but his actions are remembered fondly.
• The protagonists ultimately deciding to release Pirangon from his current state. Upon doing so, the destroyer kaiju, the TRUE Pharaoh of Eels, sets its sights on the base full of pirates that kept him under their collective bootheel. So begins the explosive end of Captain Faro's reign of terror.
  • The way Pirangon manages to No-Sell every line of defense against him before he hits the mainland. It all only momentarily slows him down as he launches his assault. Torpedoes? Either no effect or knocked out of the sky. Attack boats? Either smashed to pieces and tossed away or fought off by Niko and Maru's crew (with Shaheed laying on the hurt the most). RAILGUN BATTERIES? Slightly more effective...but then Pirangon unleashes his most powerful weapon. pure electricity and Frickin' Laser Beams that reduce the railgun ships to nothing.
  • From there, it isn't even a fight. The whole base is reduced to splinters, scrap, and fire as Pirangon tears into everything and everyone. Of particular note is his reaction to finding Faro's Cool Ship, a constant reminder of his unwilling servitude to the madman. He proceeds to throw it so hard it tears through buildings and embeds itself into the nearby canyon.
• The Final Battle with Niko and Shaheed against Captain Faro. Niko's machete (loaned to him by Alan) vs. Faro's sword. It's a fight that'd be quite fitting in a modern-day swashbuckling adventure.
  • First, all three end up in one of the escape elevators. Despite the close-quarters, Niko is able to kick Faro out of the thing just as its doors open.
  • They end up on platforms barely held up by cables, which then get weakened by gunfire. Soon, both sides are swinging at each other with their weapons, with Shaheed getting a good hit on Faro's jaw.
  • And then Pirangon shows up, grabbing Faro to personally make him pay. What follows is an appropriately ghastly and painful Karmic Death by electrocution to finish the mad captain off.

Yuki vs. Fleshworld

• The pantheon, in their newly acquired Universe forms, flying through the cosmos and then landing on Aten's planet as a whole array of stars and kaleidoscopic lights zoom past them.
• With some encouragement from Midori, Yuki and the rest of the pantheon are able to achieve the ability to float like Aten.
• After finding out about Fleshworld, hundreds of Dreadnoughts show up on the dead planet the pantheon is on. But this time, Yuki and the others are excited to see what their new Universe forms can do. And sure enough, they kick some serious ass in the first battle in a book chock-full of them.
  • The first Dreadnought is defeated after Yuki/Narajin engages it in simple hand-to-hand combat. She kills the next one by kicking through it and ripping it in half, using the weird cape-like part of it to blind the other one.
  • Once a gun-headed Dreadnought shows up (that she names Frankie Two-Guns), Yuki uses the blinded one as a Human Shield to block the gunfire.
  • At that moment, five more Dreadnoughts show up. Undeterred, Yuki sets one on fire with Narajin's plasma breath, gets another blasted to bits by another's erronous beam blast, shoots plasma down another's throat, and then shoving the last one into one of Frankie Two-Guns'...guns. It ends up exploding both that gun and one of its arms.
  • To top things off, Frankie is defeated when Ganejin enters the fray and crushes it to death.
  • The rest of the Pantheon are faring quite well too. Midori/Aten in particular tears through their ranks, no doubt as payback for what they did to the planet.
  • When a massive bomb-dropping Living Ship shows up, Jhalaragon jumps into the air, and speeds right through the center of the monster. Because it was in the middle of deploying a bomb, it blows up spectacularly.
  • Not wanting any of this to continue, Yuki and Narajin realize that they can end it quickly through a Call-Back to their last victory. Namely, tapping into the core of the planet to make it blow up. They descend down a volcano, and kill the two Dreadnoughts that follow them. The latter of which even gets slammed into the burning core as the lion kaiju digs into it. Upon reaching the core, Yuki focuses her mana energy on making it BLOW THE WHOLE PLANET UP! And she does, not harming any of her friends in the process.
  • And after that, it's still not over. Some Dreadnoughts managed to survive, and they are quickly dispatched by the pantheon before Yamanra shows up to imprison them.
• During their talk on the beach, Yamanra attempts to seduce Yuki while encouraging her to embrace her violent side, calling her an extinction event. A combination of Yuki's disgust at that part of her AND the admiral's sheer gall of thinking she could make her cheat on Midori gives the young woman all she needs to reject her advances.
  Yuki: I'm gonna help you. I'm gonna give you my tactical skill, because this Fleshworld thing is gonna destroy the universe or whatever it's gonna do, but that's it. I'm not a fucking Dreadnought. I'm not like you. And I'm not gonna cheat on my awesome girlfriend, who I love, which is obviously an alien fucking concept to you!
  • And when Yamanra tries feebly to win her good graces back:
  Yamanra: You could still be the most powerful daikaiju of all time.
  Yuki: Who gives a shit?
• Yuki/Narajin and Midori/Aten fighting against a rogue group of Dreadnoughts led by one named Robondogon. First, they dodge a leech-like Dreadnought's charge, causing it to latch onto a skeletal crocodilian monster, which blows it up in a panic as its head is melted away. Aten then grabs a brutish Dreadnought, and throws it right at Robondogon, killing him and the brute instantly. It's a quicker fight compared to the rest, but it's still neat. At least right before Fleshworld shows up.
• After the Dreadnought planet is eaten up by Fleshworld, Yuki points out to Yamanra that she's liable for charges of genocide after what she did to the inhabitants beforehand.
  Yamanra: Fleshworld just destroyed that planet!
  Yuki: That world was killed before Fleshworld even got to it. You're as responsible for its death as that thing is.
• Despite being heavily reduced in numbers, Yamanra manages to give the remaining Dreadnoughts a Rousing Speech in preparation for what could be the last fight against Fleshworld.
  Yamanra: We are not those left behind from the shining light of the Dreadnoughts' victory - we are its victory incarnate, and we will join our brethren in drinking from life eternal!
• In order to control Fleshworld into not killing things, our heroes must go to a nearby planet to find the materials for a new henshin device. Yuki, Midori, and Lieutenant Jorguis head to an ancient kaiju tomb while Manny and Yata distract the locals with their kaiju. What makes this awesome is that the temple actually belongs to none other than the Warrior Beasts from ''The Pantheon Arrives!'' It also shows that there was a forth member who died heroically in a previous war.
  • Midori constructing a new henshin device after they obtain the amulet.
• The Dreadnoughts launching a full-scale assault on Fleshworld, buying Yuki and Jorguis enough time to land on the living planet.
  • Later, Yuki attacks Jorguis, knowing full-well that he intends to use the device to make Fleshworld a Dreadnought weapon. She and Narajin drop-kick him first, then send him into a flesh peak with a roundhouse kick. Then the two kaiju end up balancing on separate flesh spires, using force of gravity to swing at each other. Narajin takes out one of the other kaiju's eyes, and when he has Jorguis pinned, he and Yuki notice a flesh tendril come at them. They dodge just in time for it to hit Jorguis' kaiju instead, disintegrating it.
  • Following that, Yuki is forced to exit Narajin in order to use the device. On a planet with way stronger gravity than Earth's, no less. Jorguis fights her, not down for the count. They end up in a one-on-one wrestling match, breaking their own and each other's bones as they use the gravity to their advantage. Yuki ultimately wins by caving Jorguis' head in. And while she barely clings onto life, she manages to activate the henshin device, undoing all of the damage done to her and giving her access to Fleshworld's mind.
• How Yuki defeats Fleshworld. She doesn't. Instead, she and the planet have essentially a therapy session together, helping each other overcome the immense guilt of their actions. It cannot be overstated how amazing it is that Yuki ended the rampage of a cosmic horror...just by talking it out with it. And now, she's this horror's Only Friend.
• The Pantheon defending the Warrior Beasts' planet from the remaining Dreadnoughts. And sure enough, the Warrior Beasts themselves show up and help tear the evil kaiju apart!
  • For details, Jhalaragon tears through some with his super speed, Narajin and Ganejin combine their strengths to fell a massive centipede/crocodile hyrbid, and Aten blasts holes through at least two of them. Then they all notice many Dreadnoughts getting smoked in the distance. That's when Gagag makes herself known first. Narajin can barely contain his excitement upon joining this planet's pantheon. Deinler follows suite, instantly killing a Dreadnought like Charybdis. Xon later joins in by chopping up the cowardly Dreadnought commander.
  • Unfortunately, Deinler is killed by Yamanra's own Dynamic Entry, being sliced into pieces by the evil kaiju, prompting Yuki to go after her.
  • Before truly leaving for Yamanra, Yuki makes a brief stop to blast a giant flying Dreadnought that's eaten countless people to smithereens.
• Before fighting Yamanra, Yuki once again rips her a new one verbally about the key difference between them, one that ensures that she'll never end up like the admiral.
  Yuki: Do you think I'm even here because of anything besides an accident? Yeah, I was trained in combat, yeah, I have a skill set that helps me. But I got lucky to end up with my friends. I could be like you, but motives and thought are what define your actions. Holy shit, I sound like Narajin. And that's it! My comrades rub off on me!
• Things don't look so hot during the fight, with Yamanra pumping Narajin full of mana with the intention of blowing him and Yuki up if she doens't comply. Then Yuki realizes that there's something she and Narajin has that their enemy doens't. It's at that points where their minds are more in sync than ever.
  Narajin: The power of two beings...
  Yuki: Fighting together...
  Narajin: Will always be stronger.
  Yuki: Than the power of one.
  • Cue Narajin's claws turning into goddamn energy swords as he blasts Yamanra away. He and Yuki proceed to slice apart the alien's energy ribbons, kick her face into the ground, and then blast her with a plasma attack. It causes Yamanra to completely give up.
• The very last fight involves the pantheon killing the last few Dreadnoughts while trying to keep a star currently going supernova from killing the planet they were protecting. Then out of nowhwere, Allie's voice comes from Earth, begging for more energy due the events occurring at the same time in Lifesblood of the Earth. Cue "Eureka!" Moment from Yuki as she decides to have the supernova's energy redirected to her friend! Ganejin, Jhalaragon, and Aten form a portal while Yuki and Narajin focus all of their energy in redirecting the star's power into it. They manage to do just that, sending the energy Earthbound in one of the biggest explosions Yuki has ever witnessed. In the end, they protected the planet and helped their friend at the same time.

Mokwa: Lifesblood of the Earth

• In the short story, Thyrus, the Beast of Umbria, we're introduced to a monster only three meters tall, but no less badass. His name is Thyrus, a reptilian creature that single-handedly manages to kill Remo and Romolo, a pair of giant Savage Wolves that have been haunting the countryside. And he does it with his bare hands.
• Apparently, Mokwa drinks from geysers for breakfast.
• Mokwa blasting the cannons off of the Laurentian ships, ensuring their non-violent surrender.
• Allie fighting her way through the Laurentian soldiers in the tomb of Supayra, only being stopped when she ends up right above where Supayra rests.
• As horrifying of a villain as he is, there's no denying that Supayra earned his position as the last destroyer. He may be a frog, but he's a giant poison dart frog, meaning that Mokwa cannot touch him without getting hurt. Not only that, but he's psychic too, being able to speak to minds, read them, and eventually, control them.
• During their first fight, Mokwa is able to blast the tip of Supayra's tongue off.
  • Right after that, Yottatherium joins in, and slashes into Supayra with his long claws before delivering his own beating.
  • However, not only does Supayra manage to escape, he also summons a giant deep-sea leviathan via mind control. Specifically, the bobbit worm variety. It efortlessly launches Yottatherium out of the water, and bites him and Rodrigo in half, killing them. Horrifying, but a score for the frog to be sure.
• After the Dreadnought invasion, the capital of Alkebulan has relocated, and according to Obasi, it's bigger and more fortified than ever.
• Mokwa and Mungonde successfully driving Supayra out of Alkebulan, no casualties at all.
  • The deep-sea leviathan gets a mandible blasted off by Mokwa. When it attempts to pounce at the bear again, that's when the great mandril makes his Dynamic Entry, smacking into the worm and eventually slamming it into unconsciousness, freeing it from Supayra's control.
• Upon ending up in the forgotten lands, both Mokwa, Mungonde, and Supayra are confronted by a statue of a massive knight...that also happens to be an automoton-like Humongous Mecha known as the Gladius due to the skyscraper-sized sword it wields. It accuses them of being demons...and both it unleashes a Macross Missile Massacre on every monster in sight.
  • Supayra is only envigored by the situation, and rams into the machine with enough force to take off its head. When it keeps firing missiles, Mokwa finishes the job by smashing into it, reducing it to parts.
• It's awful when you think about it, but the Heimann aristocrats were able to trap every kaiju they came across, and use their corpses for their experiments. Quite impressive for a bunch of crazed mad scientists. The biggest thing they did was create a horrifying Chimera out of the parts of a wolf, ram, and raven kaiju.
  • While in Heimann's castle, Allie and Obasi notice paintings depicting a giant wolf fighting a giant ram, as well as one of an eagle kaiju facing off against none other than Alkonoth.
• While Dr. Heimann's creation isn't much of a threat, it smashes the accursed castle of the Heimann legacy before trying to off itself.
• The Final Battle pits Mokwa and Mungonde against Supayra in the town of Gael.
  • After the two guardians rough Supayra up a bit, the frog heads towards the town, aiming to eat as many as he can. But then, the townsfolk reveal that they're not helpless at all. They pelt him with flaming barrels launched by trebuchets, and distract him long enough for Mokwa to knock him away. It's the first time regular citizens have ever got one over a giant monster in this series, and it's glorious.
  • Later, Supayra is shown to start getting genuinly angry after being so smug for so long. He proceeds to absorb Mokwa's blast, mutating into a giant red humanoid frog kaiju with life-draining tongue-tendrils, proudly declaring himself to be the first Dreadnought of Earth.
  • Things aren't looking very great after Supayra drains Mokwa and Mungonde. But then, they connect each other's life force in order to get the attention of the rest of the pantheon currently in space. They succeed, right as the events of Yuki vs. Fleshworld are reaching their climax. As shown in that book, Yuki directs the energy of a supernova right at them, opening a vortex in the sky that sends forth a blast of cosmic energy, giving them their own Universe forms!
  • Upon seeing this, Supayra can only react in defiant shock, feebly demanding that it isn't fair and that he's better than them. Allie and Mokwa proceed to shut him up for good by blasting them with an even stronger beam attack. It reduces his tongues to dust, sends him tumbling off his throne, burns him alive, until he's completely incinerated and left as a black stain on the floor.
  Allie: You'll never win, because we have each other. That's our strength. That's the lifesblood of the Earth!
  • Shortly afterwards, we read the descriptions of Mokwa and Mungonde's Universe forms. Mokwa is now as dark green as the forests she defends, while Mungonde gets a coat of purple fur, his facial markings now as bright as neon.

Mokwa: Ursa Major

• Despite the horrifically botched first attempt, Allie succeeds in taking out a dangerously nationalistic group known as the Golden Clan in the first chapter. She makes it to the throne room, and when the guards show up, she takes them all out with a grapelling hook and a Falling Chandelier of Doom. Then a monster the Clan thought they could control, the Lochsleech, shows up to eat everyone. Allie kicks the Clan's leader into the beast's mouth, finsihing the evil organization off in an instant.
  • Then Allie gets Mokwa to show up in order to drive back the Lochsleech. It all instantly ends with the bear blasting the lake monster with her Breath Weapon, causing it to get the message and go back into hibernation.
• After years of being menaced by the Fog Knights, the Ganawendans decided to stop waiting for Gods to solve their problems, and built their own. They made a trio of eight-armed Humongous Mecha, each serving a difffent purpose. Fortress is a walking base and a Walking Armory made to resemble a castle. Broadsword is for close-combat, and has a head shaped like a huge blade (this part is important). And Mons Magna has a BFG for a head. Together, and with Mokwa by their side now, they are stated to be the world's best chance against the Knights.
• While the first true battle between our heroes and the Knights goes badly for the most part, Tim' sacrifice enables Mokwa to get a new weapon: a broadsword made from the head of Tim's mech. And it actually manages to drive the Knights back after she impales the Berserker's head.
• During the Fog Demon assault, Allie joins the ground troops for a brief time, kicking one demon in the face.
  • Later, when Fortress is totally overwhelmed by the swarms, the Colonel has Mokwa blow him and the machine up before taking out the rest, having nothing but faith in her ability to defeat the fog as he remains Defiant to the End.
  Colonel B: Father! We will have our vengeance beyond death!
• When Allie hallucinates the Berserker Knight as Supayra, she actually does a good job of roughing the illusion up, slicing it apart with Broadsword and then having Mokwa blast the Knight into oblivion when the illusion is gone.
• Allie ends up facing off against a human-sized Plague Knight and its army of possessed folk in a Sinister Subway. And she actually stands her ground by using her grappling hook to rid it of its weapon. When it summons another blade, she uses a metal bar to impale the Knight between armor plates. It's only when it gets a crate to the face that the Knight is agitated enough to grow to normal size. Mokwa then enters the fray, Broadsword in paws.
  Mokwa: I am not used to this weapon. But I can become aclimated.
  • She then proceeds to impale the Knight through the chest before crushing its head in-between her paws. She shen swings the blade up, slicing the Plague Knight in half. It never shows up again, proving that it is truly gone for good.
• When Allie and Mokwa come acros the machine producing the fog, it conjures up a small army of Fog Knight foot soldiers, followed by the Knight Watchman. The bear is able to slice Broadsword into the Knight's neck, then she uses her paws to rip the evil being's head off, finishing it and the soldiers' off with a final energy pulse. The Plague Knights are defeated.
• During the otherwise tragic fight between Mokwa and a fog-possessed Mungonde, they end up in a Beam-O-War, the center of which explodes in a shockwave of energy.

Mokwa: Exorcism

• Mecha Knight Bill and Mecha Mungonde are the new mechs made after the last three were destroyed. One is a replica of the civlization's worst enemy, while the other is designed as a tribute to a fallen hero (even if Obasi is unnerved by the idea).
• After Supayra possesses Allie for the upteenth time (and nearly makes her kill Obasi to boot), Mokwa decides that enough is enough, and she employs a Dangerous Forbidden Technique, something that was done when the art of henshin was still young. It is the dividing of the mind. An exorcism, if you will.
  • What follows is a Battle in the Center of the Mind. Allie is taken from one place to another (two of which are at Supayra's temple), facing the destroyer off and rejecting his words for once. It culminates with them back in Gael, where Supayra was first defeated. She does it all over again, vaporizing him with a beam attack given to her by Mokwa. Sure, it doesn't kill him, but it does ensure that he can never possess her again.
  Allie: You forgot what I told you when I blasted you off the top of that castle.
  Supayra: Refresh my memory.
  Allie: That we're still stronger than you. Right Mokwa?
  (a pillar of green light hits her)
  Allie: That's the only way you could win. By dividing us, pitting me against her. By turning me against Obasi. Keeping me away from my friends. You made me put up walls, burn bridges with anyone who helped me. You got me alone.
  (Energy surges all over her)
  Allie (right before blasting Supayra): Not anymore. Now get the hell out of my head!
• The Mecha Knight and Mokwa managing to kill seven out of ten Sons of Supayra. The Knight slices through three of them, one at a time, while Mokwa smashes two into the ground before launching two more into the air and blasting them.
• Before going into the Final Battle against King Supayra, Allie and Mokwa go to get their Broadsword. To get there fatster, they decide to take a page from Yuki's book, and use a volcanic channel to get there. Allie even states "It's time to party" before doing the deed and feeling the power of tapping into this world's mana.
• Mokwa pulling Broadsword out of where it was placed as a memorial. Allie feels more powerful than ever just holding it.
• During the Final Battle, King Supayra holds Mokwa/Allie hostage and keeps taunting them. They eventually shut him up by headbutting him to get free.
• Shujayra coming to realize that Allie, the very person his father/brother told him to kill, is indeed his mother. He proceeds to call out King Supayra for lying and just having him and his siblings as a means to an end, effectively defecting in an instant.
  King Supayra: You useless child, at least your brother is too stupid to speak, so I don't have to listen to this from him. Now that's a real son I can be proud of!
  Shujayra: Because he's a tool for you? Because you can take advantage of his simple mind like you take advantage of everyone? Curse you, brother-father! I disavow your lineage - and I am Alawa's son!
  • Even after being poisoned by King Supayra, Shujayra ends up the real hero of the battle, killing a rampaging Setanayra before giving his remaining lifeforce to Mokwa, ensuring that she has enough power to blast a hole through the evil frog monster's head.
• When King Supayra's spirit possesses Bill and the Mecha Knight by extention, Allie wastes no time merging with Mokwa to fight them. One brief sword fight later, and the mecha gets its head sliced off. Bill escapes, but Allie chases him into the furnace building, a fitting conclusion to the awful history between Allie and Supayra. The girl proceeds to beat his head into nothing before crushing the yellow possessed eyes. NOW, Supayra has been destroyed.
• Shujayra is revealed at the end to be Not Quite Dead, and Allie encourages him to reach out and ask for mana from the world. It complies, allowing one of its many moons to crumble away and power him up.
• The ending, with Allie, Mokwa, Obasi, and Shujayra (the latter becoming Obasi's new kaiju) zooming off into space to try and meet the rest of the pantheon again, this time with renewed confidence.
  • Really, the fact that Allie came out of an absolute Hell of an experience, and did so with her sanity and faith in her future intact.
