They went around in order to travel back to the other fiery realm.

This one was as close to another realm that Monarch has discovered in another Hollow Earth location. The only difference is that this one had more volcanic activity than anyone has seen. Thankfully it was around far from them and the whole lava cascading was at a safe distance. To add on to that, there were some enormous crystal formations, that reached sizes and lengths greater than any structure created by mankind. Same went for stalactites and stalagmites hanging and rising on both surfaces. Truly, this place never failed to subvert the expectations of everyone. Akane and Rick continued to pilot their mechagodzillas across the smoky terrain, in their walking cycles to preserve energy even when at full charge. The high temperatures of the lava fields and falls around them were slowly starting to make their way into the cockpit despite the cooling systems activated, making Akane wipe away some accumulated sweat that has formed on her forehead. "This place is extremely hot..." Akane commented, letting out a tired breath as she continued piloting Shiryu Kai. ["I feel you. Even if I am not there with you, I can still feel the heat."] Rick said supportively. They continued to walk and progress through the realm, their sensors continuing to map all the topography of the place.

There came to a point where Shiryu Kai deployed the last transmission probe down on the ground. ["This is the last one there is. Once the range is limited to video and radio feed, I will switch Shiryu Kai to autonomous mode."] Rick said, making sure the probe's beacon was on before leaving it there. "Copy that" he said, both of them continuing towards the other end of the realm. When they got there, to the wall that meant the end of the space, they were surprised to find that the entire wall was...somehow carved into something. Upon closer inspection, now that the fog and smoke cleared away, they saw that this place was in fact made. From the looks of things, this whole place was shaped like a giant city, with the castle sitting right above the other castles and wall homes. Adding on to that, there were a set of stairs, meant for human feet, and some others not meant for them. "Could this be...? Yet another hidden civilization?" Akane said, her jaw dropping as she saw the immense size of everything in front of them. ["And this isn't the only one. Godzilla's previously home, Kong's ancestral kingdom...This truly shows how much more there is hidden beneath the surface. It will show us how we humans coexisted with titans long ago..."] Chen said, her view focusing on the image that showed what the Shiryu units were seeing. "Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go explore" Akane said, now feeling the same excitement as everyone else.

After being granted permission by Colonel Togashi and Monarch, both of them began to head towards the immense structure ahead. Chibisuke gave a squeak as they were prepared to hop off from Shiryu, Akane noticing this and using the mechagodzilla's hands to bring the hatchling down to the ground gently. The small Godzilla baby lifted its snout and began to sniff the air, its dorsal plates glowing and pulsing a bit before starting to head to the place. ["You think they know the way?"] Rick asked. "Who knows. Maybe this is his home and he got lost far from it, unable to return because of many factors." Akane said, remembering what had happened some hours ago. ["Thats true. Even at a young age, this one shows confidence of where they are going."] Chen said. "Then off we go." Akane said as she straightened up and piloted Shiryu to follow Chibisuke. A short time passed before they reached the base of the stairs, Chibisuke easily climbing them while the two Shiryu units continued to follow them. Once finished with the "short" stair climb, they reached the front of the structure, where two enormous stone doors laid in front towering over them closed. The small Godzilla simply just walked up to the doors and reached a place where there was a hole. It tried to get inside like they knew about this sneak in, but due to them having grown in size, they didn't fit through the hole. "Hold on. I'll help you" Akane said, moving in order to place Shiryu's hands on the massive doors and begin pushing. Rick also helped using Shiryu Kai to push open the doors. The two doors rumbled and made the ground shake as the doors began to open up slowly.

Once having the doors opened fully, both stopped to peer inside the place, while Chibisuke simply went in without hesitation. The interior of the place was similar to that of a royalty room, with a long hallway that led to a stair mound just like a throne seat. To the sides of the hallway were giant pillars that held the large ceiling above them. Long magma pools ran parallel behind the pillars, while some small magma falls scurried from the top of the wall at the end of the hallway. Around them lay what looked like an ancient miniature city, with some ziggurat and pyramid temples. Beside them also lay small regular structures that were similar to homes and houses. Far across where the walls rose up were paintings of descriptions, from long ago into the past. It was as if they had traveled to the past and discovered yet another valuable treasure. "This place...I don't believe it..." Akane said with so much awe. ["Yeah...we are all getting the same reaction here..."] Rick said on the radio, his voice now sounding static as there was some sort of interference. ["We'll go in and explore some more, but I'm afraid that Shiryu Kai will enter autonomous mode soon."] Rick said. ["It's the interference, isn't it? There is a high concentration of it further inside." Akane said, noticing the energy readings up ahead where the throne mound rested. The radar showed that ahead was a large concentration of natural radiation, possibly due to much more magma being located on the other side of the walls. ["I am not one hundred percent sure that it is. The readings here are...inconsistent. It keeps jumping up, down, left, right, all over the place. Perhaps it's a new raw energy source...or a new titan."] Rick said, theorizing about what it could be.

And he was telling the truth; when Akane switched to detection mode, all of the instruments began to behave weird as the interference was now present. "If that's the case, we will explore from further in, until we can't go in no more." Akane said. Rick nodded on the screen and pressed some buttons, making Shiryu stall for a moment before it straightened up again. ["There. Kai is now on autonomous control"] Rick said. Chibisuke was seen still with them for a bit before they began to stare towards the wall, as if sensing something. The dorsal plates on the back of the hatchling began to pulse once more, this time more brighter. Then it raised its head and let a miniature roar, the sound echoing across the entire room chamber. There was no response other than the echoing roar that bounced across the whole area. No one heard anything, but the small one seemed to catch something as it turned its head to the right a bit. The hatchling then hurried up to the back of the throne mound, where a whole bunch of boulders were seen piled up upon each other. ["It looks like it has collapsed, blocking some other pocket or room on the other side."] Chen said as she examined the picture.

Chibisuke went to the wall, searching for something before finding a hole in the wall and going into it. Some digging was required for the small one to go through, but they managed to get through completely. ["Wow. He definitely does know something we don't."] Rick said as they observed the hatchling disappear. Akane began to think for a moment, remembering something she had learned before. "We may not be able to hear it clearly...but...maybe he can. Let's tap into the acoustic sounds as hear it." Akane proposed. Before she could input the buttons on the control panel, the AI took over partially as it showed what Akane was about to pull up. It displayed all the resonance frequencies that were available for Akane, and then immediately switched into hearing frequency. It began to make a resonating sound, the one that was like a heartbeat just how Rick had shown her before. At first there was no reply from the other side where the inconsistent interference was originating, but then, slowly...something began to reply back. The AI and the resonance system began to analyze what it heard from the reply. When it finished, Akane and the others could not believe what the results were:

Eighty percent of it...was close to that from Godzilla.

"Don't tell me...that Godzilla is right in there?" Akane said, emotions like excitement and nervousness coursing through her body. ["That's...not possible. Godzilla is on the other side of Hollow Earth. Wait, hold on, I'm getting new information.....he's now in Rome sleeping in the Coliseum..."] Rick said with some confusion mixed in his voice, moving to the side as he watched another monitor back in the control center. "Then...maybe you two were right; there is another of Godzilla's species down here...and Chibisuke knows about it......Hold on. Let me try again." Akane said, staring at the hole where Chibisuke disappeared into. She tapped into the screen in order to play the same acoustic resonance sound again, and waited for the reply. It sounded again, much more stronger, before suddenly all the systems of Shiryu glitched and deactivated. Akane was left in the dark momentarily, Shiryu nearly collapsing as it shut down. And then, in just a few seconds, the system rebooted and activated once more. Akane just stared down at the control panel screens, just confused as to wat just happened. ["Akane? Lieutenant Akane? Are you alright?"] Colonel Togashi asked on the radio as the transmission continued to be static. "I'm alright. The system...it kind of glitched for a second. It's fine now. It finished rebooting." Akane said, and noticed that the screen now continued to glitch. It was operational, yes, but the screen was wavy. ["Good to hear you are fine. Initiate with drilling procedure."] Colonel Togashi said. "Roger that" Akane said, pulling up Shiryu's hand and switched it to drilling mode. Luckily, even if the control panel screens continued to glitch, the controls kept working fine. Shiryu Kai did the same as it helped with the drilling. ["You think it's a good idea to stumble in the lair of another Godzilla? Who knows how they will react to us invading their personal space?"] Rick said as he and Akane made their Shiryu units drill further in, small rocks starting to crumble down. "Let's hope they don't do such. And that they spare us instead." Akane said with conviction. ["Chibisuke will be able to help convince them we are not a threat. I am positive."] Chen said. ["Which literally doesn't help us in any way"] Rick replied in a way that made him sound nervous. Akane continued to focus on drilling with Shiryu and Rick with his Shiryu Kai, making sure that they kept wary of not making the place cave in. Lucky for them that it didn't take much to pass through into the other side, bursting out through the layers of rocks and boulders.

What they found, as they slowly gazed upon the other side of the wall, shocked them. Even if they were prepared beforehand, the sight itself was beyond unbelievable.
