There was rarely an occasion where Godzilla felt truly lost for words, no harsh remarks or insults, no comments whatsoever. Just silence. The matter of fact left both Kong and the Mech staring at the lizard waiting on a response; any response.

But none came.

Godzilla instead turned to Kong and asked, "You can speak to humans, correct?" He grunted, he had a lot to say to them and needed a translator as he himself does not know human language nor the sign they use to communicate with the apes.

Kong stiffened, "Yes, if you are looking to speak to them I can send a message across, but don't expect much in reply from the humans, they might be shy to speaking to you; no offense." He snorted and hopped off his hill: axe in hand, and went to the human settlement to find his small friend. Kong silently dreaded having to translate from his rival's words but he would also turn to a titan who knows human language to convey a message if he didn't know the language himself.

He heard Godzilla and a very silent Mech follow behind him as he peered into the human base to find Jia, once she spotted him she ran out to the balcony of the base and waved excitedly; overjoyed to see her friend safe and sound. Kong smiled at her excitement and crouched at the balcony so he could perform proper hand signatures to her for what he was about to say.

Kong glanced over at Godzilla, waiting for what he was about to say so he could translate it to Jia. He silently hoped there was nothing too extreme word wise and he refused to translate bad language to his little friend; she was too young to understand such fowl words.

Godzilla snorted at the small being at the balcony, "Tell them I am furious at what they had created, that Mech is no titan; it is a titan killer, the humans are very lucky to be alive and that this Mech isn't as bloodthirsty as I thought, it would have been catastrophic if it was." He stated and waited for Kong to translate all that.

Kong thought for a few seconds before translating the entire message to Jia, who listened intently and, when done, replied with her own sign. Kong said to Godzilla that she would alert her older humans about this conversation and would bring her older guardian with her so she can also translate with Kong to Godzilla and vise versa.

When Jia returned she brought her second guardian with her, the older female was amusing to Godzilla; having seen the shock on her tiny face when she realised the king wanted to speak to them. Godzilla spoke more about how humanity has grown too powerful and is disrupting the balance of natural order, he spoke about how, after Ghidorah was killed, a new fake titan rose from the depths of one of their human facilities that thankfully did not attack titans or humans.

The response he got satisfied him for now, the humans said that they were not the bad guys here; that their symbol meant good and that when he sees that display it means the humans are making sure everything on the human front is being carefully watched by their organisation. Godzilla added that he does recognise the symbol with goodwill and tries not to destroy their bases because he knows they're trying to keep the balance too and he respects that; it's a little easier managing a whole planet when one of the world's smartest species has got your back - it also takes a lot of pressure off Godzilla's shoulders.

Conversation turned to the Mech once again, with the humans saying that they can run tests on it to see whats really inside its metal shell. Godzilla commented all its features over to the humans so they had the weapons aspect sorted so they didn't set anything off and ruin the island.

"I am not some lab-rat, I decide if I want to be tested on." The Mech growled, butting into the conversation. This point of contact startled both humans on the balcony as the Mech walked over.
