Cataclysm
Pacific Ocean, Mariana Trench, midnight;
The deep-sea submersible dove deeper. Its crew were very confident in their new vehicle. It was designed to travel deeper and using a new nuclear engine there was no possibility for it to run out of power at an impromptu moment. They of course knew the risks of using such an engine but thought its usefulness outweighed the dangers. It was impossible for them to know what was about to happen would unleash something the likes of which the world has never before seen and might not survive. They neared the bottom were they would stay for several days to do research, deep inside the trench that ran along the Philippine and Pacific Plates. "Sir, we are closing on the bottom." announced on of the crew members with excitement.
"Turn on the lights." said the captain.
The lights turn on and illuminate the deep sea. Various types of almost alien looking fish swim away from the bright lights. As they dove deeper and entered the deepest part of the trench. They looked around in the darkness. All kinds of animals looked back at them. Some fled almost immediately but others curiosity made them stay. As the lights turned around in the void, the beams passed over what appeared to be a rock. As the lights moved away from it, a massive eye opened. Something large had entered its territory and dared to awaken it. The massive creature rose from the seafloor, revealing itself to be a giant octopus. The giant beast charged forward at the ship. "Sir, something huge on sonar!" yelled the crew member monitoring the sonar.
The giant octopus wraps its tentacles around the ship and attempts to crush it. "Sir the reactor is going critical!" yelled another crew member. Suddenly a massive explosion erupts from the ship. Once the water clears, the earth begins to quake and spouts of lava burst up from the seafloor.
Tokyo, 6 am;
The windows rattled as an earthquake struck. At Mt. Fuji, the researchers check over their instruments. The quake had began as a 3.0 but had increased to a 5. Buildings below shook and some began to fall. One of them was worried. Megan Shinoda looked over a satellite photograph of the Pacific. The out reaches of the Pacific and Philippine Plates had heated up, earthquakes hit several places along them. The quakes were increasing in strength and several volcanoes were erupting. Megan had an idea of what was going on and she hoped she was wrong. "The pressure is building inside the volcano, its going to erupt, we've got to get out of here
Deep inside the quaking volcano, a massive egg set. It had been ready to hatch for eons and now it would get its chance. The quaking became even stronger as the volcano violently erupted, the walls around the egg shattered. Heated air rushed into the cavern. Soon the quake subsided. The egg set quietly. Soon the egg cracked. A chunk of shell falls off and an eye peers into the darkness and its owner lets out a loud screech.
Ok I know I could of just had Mt. Fuji erupt but this will come into play later on. Yes I know Rodan didn't come from Mt. Fuji but it does give him better access to a few major cities. Next up more on the human side of our story.
