Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
"Aftermath"
As the bus waited on the Golden Gate bridge, Godzilla appeared and crashed through the bridge, knocking the driver unconscious and leaving the bug hanging off the bridge. Cate attempted to evacuate the kids as Godzilla roared above her. She only got three of them out before Godzilla knocked a piece of rubble onto the bus and causing it to fall off the edge. Cate broke down and wandered past several men on the bridge, who ignored her to collect data on the damage caused by Godzilla. In 2015 Cate Randa traveled to Tokyo. Before she could depart, two people in hazmat suits spray the passengers down to kill any parasites, . The man dismissed this as a false comfort that would not stop a monster attack like the one in 2014. His words and the decontamination cause Cate to briefly flash back to an encounter with soldiers wearing similar masks. In the airport, she paused at a sign on the floor indicating the Godzilla Evacuation Route, recalling being on a school bus with her students as Godzilla attacked the Golden Gate Bridge. At customs, she explains to the official that she's come to Japan to settle the affairs of her father, Hiroshi after his death in 2014. In Tokyo, she witnessed missile batteries and anti-Godzilla graffiti; her taxi driver, meanwhile, is convinced the Titans were all faked with CGI.
After arriving at her father's residence, Cate's mother Caroline Randa, who pushed Cate to go to Japan, called her and reprimanded Cate for not calling her immediately after landing. Cate entered the apartment and found a memorial to Hiroshi beside a wall of photos that included him with a woman and boy she did not recognize, and was confronted by both over her intrusion in their house moments later. Cate attempted to defuse the situation by telling them that Hiroshi is her father. The family, Emiko and Kentaro Randa, sat down with Cate to discuss the situation, but Kentaro was skepitcal of her claim and asked her to provide proof. Cate showed them pictures of her and Caroline with Hiroshi and informed them that Caroline had been married to Hiroshi for 30 years. Emiko asked Cate whether she knew what happened to Hiroshi, but Cate became upset, apologized for the intrusion, returned the apartment's keys, and left. Caroline called Cate after she left he building, but she attempted to dodge her mother's questions on what she found in the apartment. Their call was interupted when the phone relays an evacuation alert. She regroups with Kentaro and Emiko, who lead her to a subway shelter and reassure her that it's likely a drill. Emiko asked Cate if Hiroshi was with her during G-Day, but Cate tells her that he wasn't. Cate then experienced a flashback to the attack on the Golden Gate Bridge and caused her to panic and attempt to leave the shelter. Emiko manages to stop Cate and calm her down.
After beign given the all clear to leave, Emiko invited Cate to come back to their apartment for tea. Cate refused as she didn't want to spend more time with the woman her father was cheating with, but relented when Kentaro pushed that she hadn't gotten any answers from her brief trip. Kentaro takes Cate to Hiroshi's office where he allegedly programmed software for satalites. Kentaro had hoped to show her the good in their father, but it only reminded Cate of how Hiroshi was obsessed with his work. Feeling her way along a map on the wall, Cate found a safe behind it and unlocked it by combining her and Kentaro's birthdays with both of their mothers'. The safe contained a bag belonging to Bill Randa which contained several data storage tapes. She noticed the Monarch logo on the side of the bag, and remembered how she had spotted men wearing it during G-Day.

"Parallels and Interiors"
Cate watched as the Frost Vark continued to dismantle their plane and sadly called out to Du-Ho upon seeing his nearby corpse. Kentaro attempted to shoot a flare at the titan, but missed and the group all had to run into a nearby cave. The Frost Vark investigated the cave's roof, causing tremors that broke the ice underneath May's feet and forcing Cate and Lee to help her out while May was left lying on the ground barely keeping herself from screaming from the freezing water. After lee confirmed the Frost Vark had left, the group left the cave. While the others bickered, Cate spoke up about about how it was getting late and the temperature would drop at night, and asked where Lee was taking them with no resources. Lee stated they were heading northwest towards the coast as they were more likely to see people there, but Kentaro stated that he saw a spherical building from the plane. Cate and the others all stated they never saw the building so the group climbed a hillto see if they could spot it. While they were unable to see the building, Cate spotted some lights. Kentaro refused to go towards them however, stating the building he saw was much closer and behind some other hills. Seeing this, Lee decided it was best for Kentaro to go on his own despite Cate's protests.
As a snow storm blew in, Cate lamented letting Kentaro go, but lee reassured her he just needed to survive until they reached the lights. However, upong climbing a hill they found themselves in the valley the Frost Vark had attacked them in, Lee now blaming the lights on the monster. Realizing May wouldn't make it without being warmed up, Cate refused to move on despite Lee's protests about the nearby titan. After starting the fire a fire and setting Mei within a tent, Mei complained that her legs were hurting. Cate congragulated as her this meant she didn't have frost bite yet, but Mei wasn't as optimistic about her chances. Meiasked Cate to call her sister Lyra Mateo if she didn't make it and attempted to give Cate Lyra's number until Lee returned with research papers from Hiroshi. Lee asked whether Cate wanted to burn the papers to stoke the fire or keep them to learn as much as they could about her father, but Cate immediately told him to burn them. Lee obliged, only for the Frost Vark to appear. Cate and Lee helped Mei out of the tent as the Frost Vark burst up from underneath their fire and consumed it. Lee realized that the Frost Vark fed on heat, and using this information created a plan to start a bonfire with aviation fuel and Du-Ho's corpse. As Lee prepared, Cate attempted to comfort May, but May told Cate that they would eventually have to leave her and possibly Lee behind so Cate could survive.
