Prologue

The Center of the Pacific Rim…

The Marina

"Hey Erwin, gimme a hand with this net!" Jonn shouted over the storm.

Erwin Sulvic was no one knew to the job of commercial fishing in the pacific. Growing up in a family of fishers, Erwin wasn't without experience. He helped the smaller man bring in the crab they were fishing for and dropped it with a heave.

"Johnny, you gotta work on getting stronger," Erwin joked with a grin. "Fuck you," John smirked at his companion.

"Yo Erwin, the Skipper wants to see you." Danny, a scrawny man who was stronger than he looked, called out to his friend.

Erwin nodded and walked into the bridge of the trawler, where Captain Donovan was. The moment I did, I noticed a look on the captain's face. Which was odd because the captain always kept a calm exterior. "Something up, Cap'n?"

"I'm not sure… seems like there is something coming at us, according to the radar." He said.

"Could be just a pod of whales, couldn't it?" Erwin asked him, brows furrowed.

"Normally old friend, I'd say that. Thing is, no pod is over 160 meters." Donovan said grimly.

That brought a confused look to Erwins face, making him move forward and see what he meant. Sure enough, a large blip was moving straight for their direction.

"What the hell can get that big?"

"No idea but tell everyone to grab hold, because Imma try and get out of its way." He ordered Erwin, who nodded and ran out the bridge.

"Everybody grab hold of something!" He ordered just as an impact came to the ship.

"What the hell was-" Johnny didn't finish as a second hit made him fall into the ocean.

"Man overboard!" Erwin shouted and ran for a life vest and tossed it to the flailing Jonathan. "C'mon you bastard, get it!" He shouted at him.

"I'm trying to!" Johnny shouted. "Well try harder!" Erwin shouted just before a towering shape came out of the water.

"Are those… spikes?" Danny said trembling. Erwin went into full gear and tried to pull Jonathan out of the water. "C'mon Johnny!" He shouted pulling with Danny and Leon, another crew member, helping.

Johnny kicked furiously screaming but the large object, whatever it was, pulled him under and almost yanked Erwin overboard as well. "WE GOTTA CUT IT!" Danny shouted straining every muscle.

"No! I can get him-" Erwin shouted just before the rope snapped knocking all of them onto their asses. The entire boat shook as it did and Erwin ran forward to find his friend. Nothing was seen in the black ocean as he called his name.

"We have to move buds!" Donovan shouted before the third impact came, this time making the ship capsize.

In the powerful and destructive waves, Erwin tried to find a way out of the ship, but was not succeeding until Danny gripped his wrist and pulled him up onto the capsized ship. Before they got out though, Erwin saw the attacker of the ship as a black shape that then submerged into the vast ocean.

My God…

That was the last thought Erwin had before a blue light erupted from beneath the ship.
