April 8th, 2018. Honolulu, Hawaii
A man stood at a shaved ice shack on the side of a trail close to the beach. He was middle-aged, likely late forties to early fifties. He had shoulder length, gray hair, with a slight shade of black mixed in, as well as a goatee. He was wearing sunglasses, as well as a bright blue button-up shirt, and navy-blue pants.
As he stood waiting, he looked over and notice a Japanese woman sitting on a bench about 20 feet away from him. She noticed him as well, and waved at him. With that, he threw away the remainder of his strawberry flavored shaved ice, and walked over to the woman.
"Tobias Gardener!" The woman exclaimed, standing up to hug the man. She seemed a bit younger than him, in her early to mid-forties. She was wearing a brown trench coat, and a black and white skirt. Once they finished hugging, they both sat down, and she stated: "It has been so long. How are you doing?"
"I am doing alright. Happily married with two kids, and a steady job, so nothing really to complain about there." He replied. "How about you, Mizuki? It has been what? Five years? How's Serizawa doing?"
Mizuki's expression went from excited to saddened almost instantaneously. "Actually, Tobias, that is why I called you here to meet with me. Serizawa, he was arrested last week, and is facing potentially a twenty-year sentence in Federal Prison."
Tobias's face showed the look of pure shock. "What?!" He exclaimed. "What did he do?"
"He did it, Tobias." Mizuki replied, with tears forming in her eyes. "After years of us telling him not to, he did it. His closest friend and his sister were not enough to keep him from doing it." She paused to catch her breath, before she finished. "He built the Oxygen Destroyer."
There was a moment of silence between the two. Tobias knew that was where she was going. For years, the two of them had worked to keep Dr. Ishido Serizawa from building that device. A device more powerful that even the nuclear weapons of today. Still, it shocked Tobias to know that his best and closest friend would still give in, and create it despite their warnings against it.
"Why?" Tobias asked, finally breaking the silence. "Why would he still go ahead and move forward with it. He knew how dangerous it would be, and what the consequences would be for doing such a thing. Why?"
"He tried to explain to me, but it sounded more like mad ramblings than anything." Mizuki responded. "He said he saw numbers in his head. And with the numbers came these two voices that were warning him of the end times. He said if they were true, then only the Oxygen Destroyer would be enough to save humanity from the threats it is about to face."
"Wow. Sounds he finally just went over the edge." Tobias responded. "What did he mean by 'he saw numbers in his head'?"
"When I visited him in prison, he said he had finally figured it out." She answered. "They were not just random numbers. They were coordinates." She handed Tobias a piece of paper with some number written on it. They were:
28°38'43.5"N 136°27'12.2"E
"It took some work, but I was able to find where these lead to." She stated. "There is a small island in the South Pacific. It doesn't really have a name, but some Japanese fishermen call it Infant Island. I do not know why he would have these coordinates in his head, but he did."
"And these are somehow related to the end times and the Oxygen Destroyer, right?" Tobias asked. Mizuki simply nodded her head in response. "Then I say we go check this island out. See what it is that has him so freaked out."
Mizuki face gained the excited expression it had when she first reunited with Tobias, then it shifted to confusion. "But, how? How are we going to get to Infant Island?" She asked, as the two of them stood up, and began to walk away.
"Remember that steady job I mentioned a few minutes ago?" Tobias asked in a light-hearted fashion. Mizuki nodded in response. "Well, I'm a technician for a private airlines service, and they owe me a few favors."
Mizuki got a giant grin on her face, and the two off them walked off. "It will be just like the old days."
April 9th, 2018 AD. Savanna, Georgia
"No, you explain everything about these dreams you've been having, alright?" A therapist stated, sitting in an old, patched up recliner of his office. Lucy Danvers was seated in a chair next to him. "Your mother will be sitting her translating everything you tell me, just like our usual appointments. Don't be afraid tell me anything."
Madison, sitting on a sofa across from the therapist, nodded in compliance, watching as her mother translated the doctor's words into sign-language.
"Good." The doctor stated, in a calm and soothing voice. "Now, explain to me exactly what you saw in this dream of yours."
She began to sign her response, and her mother translated it for the doctor.
"She said that it was in a city, and that the buildings were crumbling down, and in ruins. There was fire everywhere, and in the midst of the fire and ruin, there were these three beings." Lucy translated. "A moth, a dragon and…"
She looked back at Madison to make sure she saw what she said correctly. "She said a moth, a dragon… and our savior."
"Interesting." The doctor responded, typing notes into his 'iPad'. "Now Madison, your mother told you drew this all out into a picture, on your wall. What made you feel like you had to do this?"
Madison thought for a moment, and then began to sign her response.
"She said she heard a voice in her head, saying she was the chosen…uhm… seer, is the word she used." Lucy replied. "She said this voice told her that she was seeing what is to soon transpire."
The doctor worked on typing out his notes, when Lucy interjected with more information. "She says that the voice was not always part of the dream. It only became part of it these past couple of days. When they told her she was the seer, that is when she started to sketch it out."
"Interesting." The doctor replied, adding more to his notes. He then held up his iPad, and pulled up a picture of the wall Lucy had sent him. "Now, your mother told me that you called the dragon in the picture the 'devil', correct? Do you mind explaining to me what that means?"
Madison sat still for a moment, pondering the question finally, she responded.
"Uh… she says that the dragon, or 'devil', as she's calling it, will be pure evil. It will do everything it does simply because it obtains joy from it." Lucy told the doctor. "It will act only out of malicious intent, and will work to cause as much destruction as possible. And… she says it will declare itself… KING."
April 9th, 2018 AD. South Pacific Ocean
"You don't look too good." Tobias stated to Mizuki as the sat within the passenger seat of a helicopter above the Pacific Ocean. They had been airborne nearly an hour, and Mizuki was not taking it well.
"I take it you're not one for flyin', huh?" The pilot, an older African-American man asked, looking back at Mizuki, who had a bright shade of green in her face.
She simply shook her head, knowing that opening her mouth for any reason at all may cause all of her lunch, breakfast and dinner from the night before to come out.
"Don't worry," the pilot stated. "We will be there in just a few more minutes!"
"Thank you for doing this for us, Frank." Tobias stated. "I really hated to have to ask you to do this on your day off."
"Ah no worries, buddy!" Frank shouted back to Tobias, over the load noises of the chopper. "Celia is over in Vermont this week visiting our son and his family, and I had nothing else to do. Besides, nothin' is more excitin' to me than to fly over the Pacific, and take in all of its beauty! By the way, I believe we are about to arrive."
Tobias and Mizuki looked out of the front window, and saw the shore of an island. Much of the island was still invisible due to how far out they still were from it, but the coat-line as they saw it was surrounded with large rocks, and a light mist.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Tobias began. "Welcome to Infant Island."
Hello everyone! I am just doing this as a way to communicate plans for the 'Godzilla Ultimate' series moving forward, and what my plans are for this story is as a whole.
First and foremost: This story does not have a set schedule for posting new chapters. I would love to be able to post a chapter a day, or every other day, but seeing as how things are going in my personal life, that is just not realistic. So, I'm gonna shoot for posting a chapter AT LEAST once a week, though I really hope I can do better than that. Time will tell I guess.
Secondly, I have no 'master plan' for this series. I do know that this will likely be the first story in a series of other stories set in the 'Ultimate Godzilla-verse', but we will just have to see how this story plays out. I really don't even have much of a master plan for this singular story, and am kind of making it up as I go along. However, I do have inklings of ideas for what I want to do movie forward, and have already seeded some of those things, and will continue to moving forward. Let's just say, I plan on incorporating monsters such as Rodan, Gigan, Anguirus, and plenty more moving forward. I also may or may not have ideas to use some unused monsters (I'm looking at you Gryphon). Also, I will reinvent some monsters more than others, so if some are a lot different from how they were portrayed in the films, that's why.
Anyhow, I better get back to writing. Hopefully the third chapter will be out soon. I've loved working on this so far, and cannot wait to continue!
