The Legend of Korra
The Age of Titans and Spirits
Prologue
Long ago, before the Four Nations...
Before the human race...
Even before the spirits themselves...
There were Titans.
Gods that walked the Earth unchallenged.
Giants of Land, Sea and Sky.
Ancient as the Universe itself.
Powerful.
Majestic.
Immortal.
They watched life blossom from the void, looking on as spirits, animals and humans came into being on the world they lived upon.
Some were benevolent, peaceful guardians that lived in peace with their surroundings and the beings that they shared , resorting to conflict if only there was no other choice.
Others were more malevolent in nature, dangerous and more than willing to succumb to violence and aggression.
However, there was one of them who was the fiercest of all.
To the humans and spirits of the world, he was considered a Ruler of Titans.
A King of Monsters.
He was the size of a Mountain.
His eyes blazed a fiery ember, his impervious flesh a dark charcoal gray like the volcanic mountains, his claws and teeth were like the ivory snow of winter.
His fury and wrath were without equal.
His azure fire burned more intense than a million stars.
He feared nothing.
He was Fire.
He was Death.
He was a Destroyer of Worlds.
And at the same time, he was also one of the world's greatest Protectors amongst his brethren.
Yet for all his power and rage he possessed, it did not quell his loneliness and desire for another whom he could love and would return it.
Then, on one day, he met a Spirit...
And fell in love with her.
She was the Light.
She was the balance and order.
They would take human form, travel the land and sea, always together wherever they wandered amongst mortals and immortals alike.
But it was not to last.
A millennium later, the Spirit did something she would forever regret, something that would haunt her for all eternity.
She shattered his heart.
Filled with anger and sorrow, the Spirit's betrayal unleashed his true horrific fury.
It was one that day that the world not only burned... it nearly perished.
His fury made the heavens tremble, his fire torching the earth, boiling the sea, and extinguishing the air.
The creatures of the world, including the humans and spirits, were lucky to have survived the onslaught of the raging titan.
It was then that the closest of his Titan brethren intervened: The Guardian, the Goddess, the Mountain Giant, the Ocean Giant, the Dragon God, the Sky Titan, the Sea Titan, the Forest God, and the Demon God.
Their conflict shook the entire world, but in the within those moments of battle even the Titan King could not overcome their combined might as either one of them was powerful enough to challenge him alone.
His fellow Titans reasoned with him to end this pointless, rage-fueled death and destruction, for it would not return the love he had lost.
Accepting the truth of his brethren's words, and with a heart full of anguish and sorrow, he waded off into the sea to forever rest in hope that it would make him forget the beautiful Spirit... and the love they shared.
But he never forgot her.
Nor did he forget the rage and sorrow caused by her betrayal.
Eons pass.
Each of the Titan Gods venture out into the world, seeking to find their place in it.
The Dragon God settles on the continent of Mu, where he became worshipped as a deity by the advanced race of humans that lived there.
When the massive continent was struck by a great cataclysm, one that resulted in sinking it beneath the cool waves of the ocean, Manda chose to stay and watch over its people.
Several islands, once part of the continent of Mu, are formed in the events of the cataclysm.
The Goddess takes one to be her home, becoming a benevolent deity to the people of the island.
The Guardian, wisest and most noble of them all, adopts one of the isles in order to protect it and its people.
The Sky Titan claims a volcano towering over a vast valley as his domain.
The Sea Titan resumes to wonder and explore the ocean, completely at peace with his existence amongst his watery environment.
The Mountain Giant decides to reside in the mountains that border the sea, where his brother the Ocean Giant dwells, while the Forest God makes his home in the lush forests below the mountain peaks.
And the Demon God, a fierce warrior of the Titans, returns to a lake within the mountain lands that one day would become part of the Earth Kingdom.
The Titans and their fellow brethren find their places in the world, continuing to exist on through the ages undisturbed.
Most of the Titans become lost to history, forgotten by most of the humans who do not share their homelands with them.
But they still exist.
Resting and awaiting to rise again to announce their presence to the world.
And it would begin when he awakened from his slumber deep beneath the ocean floor.
Fire and Death.
Rage and Sorrow.
A King of Monsters would rise.
It would mark the beginning of a new age.
An Age of Titans, Spirits, and Humans.
It all began with the Republic City Project.
After the world nearly became consumed in darkness by the evil Spirit Vaatu and the power-hungry and utterly mad Unalaq, the world's greatest scientists gathered together to create an ultimate weapon.
It was a weapon that would only be used in the most extreme of circumstances.
A weapon that could level entire cities, a weapon designed to eliminate any threat.
Once the weapon was created, it was tested in a desolate part of the ocean.
The leaders of Southern & Northern Water Tribes, the Fire Nation Empress, the Earth Kingdom Queen of Ba Sing Se, the Avatar and many others witnessed the spectacle from a distance... watching on as a towering mushroom cloud rose from the boiling sea.
Upon seeing the terrible destructive power of the weapon, the world leaders decided against ever using it.
It wasn't worth the risk.
If such a destructive weapon were to fall into the wrong hands, the results could be devastating.
They urged the scientist responsible for creating this ultimate weapon to destroy all of his notes and any information regarding the weapon.
And so it was decided.
Unknown to them all, even to the Avatar herself, they had unintentionally awakened something far worse than any weapon created by human hands.
If only they could have foreseen that their ultimate weapon had awakened a titan whose fire and wrath could burn entire worlds.
A titan that never forgot his rage and sorrow, who never forgot the Spirit who betrayed him and shattered his heart.
A God of Destruction.
A living force of Nature.
He would rise, the world would tremble... and everything that exists will know fear.
Gojira.
Godzilla.
Author's Notes
This is my latest crossover/fusion. And as you can guess, it involves Godzilla and the Legend of Korra. Why did I want to write this story? Well, I'm a huge fan of both franchises. Second; there's many monsters from Godzilla films that could really work in the LOK/A:TLA universe with some tweaking/creativity. Third; I thought it'd be a great tribute not only to the upcoming Legendary Pictures' G-film, but also to Book 3 of LOK which I'm hoping will be out by Summer 2014.
I would also like to state that 10 monsters, counting Big G himself, will be appearing in this story. All of whom have starred alongside him in past films. I've given some hints as to who they are, but I figure I'll make it a bit easier on all of you by giving you the list of kaiju that will appear. Guess who is who by this epilogue alone... and I'll give you a pet lemur that looks like Mo Mo. ;)
1. Godzilla
2. Manda
3. Varan
4. Gaira
5. Anguirus
6. Mothra
7. King Caesar
8. Sanda
9. Titanosaurus
10. Rodan
Please be kind and leave a review. I would honestly appreciate it.
