As you can see, I cracked. So, this is probably one of the first one to get finished even though I'm more or less rewriting it. I still have the original up so I can use that. But yeah, enjoy!

Prologue
The Philippines
1999
The sun shined in the early morning sky, bathing everything in its blinding rays and warmth. The plants soaked the rays up, turning it into much needed energy so they could flourish. It was a peaceful and quiet morning until the sound of spinning rotors cut through the silence as a MONARCH chopper flew above the mountains, heading towards its destination.
Doctor Ishiro Serizawa sat in the chopper with his assistant, Doctor Vivienne Graham, sitting beside him and a four-year-old child sitting in between them. The child had light brown hair that came down to her chin and her eyes was a deep brown color, once a light blue. She simply wore a blue shirt and blue shorts to match as well as white flip flops.
"Are we there yet?" asked Kiryu Serizawa, the adopted daughter of Ishiro. She was hardly like other girls her age, who would be playing with barbies and dolls. Kiryu would rather be outside, looking at all the different plants and animals. So, going on trips like this one with her father was a real treat.
"Almost, little one." Ishiro told her softly, causing her to cross her arms and pout. He knew that she was getting antsy and he couldn't blame her. They have been in the air for quite some time now. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into his side before glancing out the window and watched as the mountains flew passed. He glanced down at his other hand, thumb slowly stroking the surface of a pocket watch that sat in his palm.
Vivienne noticed the movement and looked over. She knew the significance that the item held for Ishiro and he usually took the watch out when their traveling or simply when he sits in his office alone.
She looked outside as the chopper took a turn and she could see hundreds if not thousands of people climbing up and down ladders of a large pit.
The chopper slowly landed and Ishiro got out first before turning and helping Kiryu out and onto the ground. The two made their way from the chopper, Vivienne and the rest of the team following, and to a man that was wearing a suit and waiting for them. Beside and behind him were men with guns and handkerchiefs hiding their nose and mouths.
"Doctor Serizawa?" The man reached forward and Ishiro took it, shaking hands. "Jerry Void. Just warning you, it's a mess, total mess."
Ishiro let Kiyru go and Vivienne quickly took his place, grabbing Kiryu's hand and the three followed Jerry.
"MONARCH sent me in this morning. After I quick look around, I told them that we needed you." Jerry explained. "They picked up a radiation pocket out here last month. They got excited, think that they had a Uranium deposit. They started to stack up the heavy machinery and then, well, the valley floor collapsed into a cavern below just…dropped away. Just…gone."
They walked up to a railing that over looked over another pit. This one had a large hole and machinery hanging over the edge and broken pathways that looked like they were reaching down towards the ones that broke away and fell.
"Best guess right now is about forty miners went down with it."
Kiryu leaned against the railing, trying to peer down to see if she could see anything in the darkness. She continued until she noticed Ishiro kneeling to her height and she looked at him.
"Kiryu, I need you to stay with Graham. Papa needs to talk to some people who were hurt rather badly, okay?"
"Okay, Papa." She chirped.
"Be good for her." With that, Ishiro followed the other man away and left Vivienne and Graham standing there, watching the two men go.
Vivienne nudged Kiryu away from the fence before leading her to a tent that seemed to be a make-shift cafeteria. She helped the little girl sit before sitting beside her and taking out some colored pencils and a piece of paper from her purse and set them in front of Kiryu, who got right to work.
She drew three stick figures, one in red, another in black and the last in green before drawing something in brown. She drew spikes going down the large's back before setting the pencil down with a childish grin.
"What did you draw?" Vivienne asked her.
"You, me, Papa and Goji!" Kiryu chirped, pointing to each as she spoke.
"It's a good drawing, especially the one of Gojira." Vivienne smiled, causing the younger to grin before starting to add a sun and so on.
Ishiro walked out of the makeshift hospital and made his went to the tent that was the cafeteria, knowing that's where Vivienne and Kiryu is. Once he got there, he paused when he caught sight of the two.
He watched as Kiyru drew and color on a piece of paper with Vivienne beside her, watching with a soft smile. She would reply whenever Kiryu spoke to her about something.
Ishiro's eyes soften as he continued to watch, noting how close the two had gotten in just two years and this scene reminded him of a mother-daughter moment.
He shook his head slightly before making his way towards the two and Kiryu was the first to catch sight of him. "Papa! Papa, look what I drew!"
Ishiro sat down and Kiryu quickly thrust her drawing in his face, making him chuckle slightly. "It's very good."
Kiryu beamed up at him.
"Little one, Graham and I must go down into the pit."
"I wanna come!"
Ishiro shook his head. "No, you must stay here. You're still too young. A nurse will come and stay with you until we're done."
Kiryu pouts and Ishiro just kissed the top of her head and stood, walking away with Vivienne and a second later, a nurse walked over to her and sat beside her. The little girl just sighed and looked down at her drawing with slumped shoulders.
