Pacific Ocean
November 3
1984 C.E.

As the bright white light from the full moon shines on Tokyo Bay, something lies deep within the water, at its darkest depths. Beneath the waves, life once thrived, but all of that life was now gone, the space left barren as generations and generations of fish and other sea creatures were wiped out by a catastrophic weapon that was activated on November 6, 1954, thirty years earlier.

Beneath the empty space in the ocean is a gargantuan skeleton, lying lifeless on the sandy ocean floor. In life, mankind called this creature Godzilla. The creature was 50 meters tall, 100 meters long, and 20,000 metric tons in life. Godzilla looked like a Tyrannosaurus, but on closer examination, the resemblance was slight. The creature had a tiny, wedge-shaped, almost feline head, a bull neck, and a wide, barrel-like chest. Three rows of spikes lined up on its back, starting very small on the back of the head and increasing in size until the chest area, where afterwards their size would decrease again as it went down, until they would stop at the end of its long tail. Its arms were also much larger in proportion to its body then those of a Tyrannosaurus, and therefore was able to use them to do many more tasks, including engaging in combat.

Back on the surface, the constant threats of nuclear war between the United States and Soviet Union were in full effect, as the Cold War raged on. A United States military plane flies by the site, carrying with it a 30 kiloton nuclear bomb, a bomb twice the power of nuke that devastated Hiroshima. The bomb is dropped in the ocean, creating a sudden blinding light. Once the human eye could see again, a gigantic mushroom cloud remains where the bomb collided. This was a test done by the United States government to test their nuclear arsenal in the case a nuclear war were to actually happen. Because of the events that had transpired 30 years ago, they felt it was the safest place to do it, as it had already been void of life beforehand.

But little did they know that because of their actions, life would once again be present in the waters of Tokyo Bay.

The nuclear fallout from the bomb descends into the ocean, going deeper and deeper until it eventually reaches the enormous skeleton. The skeleton begins to change. Muscle and skin regenerates where it once was as life returned to the massive creature. Within an hour, Godzilla opened his fiery golden eyes for the first time in three decades. His fingers twitched. His tail began moving again, rising up and then colliding with the ground again. Godzilla rises from the ground and unleashes a powerful roar.

Unsure of who he is, where he came from, and what happened in his previous life, he looks around at his surroundings, looking for something that might give him clues to what happened to him. All he can see is sand, rocks, and seaweed… until his eyes are drawn to a strange device lying in the sand. It is composed of a metal capsule with a glass central chamber. Numerous gauges and pressure meters are present on the larger capsule. Within this chamber is a second capsule attached by rods at both ends.

Godzilla is initially confused about what this device is, but then, suddenly, it hits him. Everything does, as all of his memories return, his mind flooding with images from his previous life. The device was very significant in Godzilla's life. It was a trigger that allowed him to remember his entire life.

This is what Godzilla remembers.
