FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER: LITA vs. NERONGA
Chapter 4
Back at the radiation clinic Ami, Andrew & Greg along with many reporters were with the strange girl as she was being fed. One of the reporters took a picture of her.
REPORTER: careful, don't use the flash gun; she might become violent, if we frighten her!
The girl then looks up at the reporters while she was eating. Ami then hands her a glass of milk. The girl was surprisingly not as hostile in fact she was quite calm around Ami.
ANDREW: strange she's not Japanese, she's Caucasian.
REPORTER 2: so she's a half cast then?
GREG: No, she is distinctly Caucasian.
ANDREW: her body has received vast amounts of radioactivity, and this is the important point, she did not succumb to atomic disease. Instead her body has been building up a strong resistance to radiation.
REPORTER 2: radiation?
REPORTER 3: That's impossible she looks far too young to have been around in World War 2. Wasn't she born on a date later than that?
ANDREW: well I feel she's very important from a scientific point of view; I like you to help me gentlemen in finding out who her parents are, and what sort of environment she grew up in.
As the Reporters left, the girl had started to yawn as she finished the food she was given. The girl had then laid her head onto Ami's lap, as she was falling asleep; Ami smiles seeing how peaceful the girl was.
AMI: poor thing doesn't have a family of her own.
ANDREW: maybe we could try finding that out.
GREG: her parents are probably dead.
AMI: I could try to take care of her.
ANDREW: very well.
GREG: what are you going to call her?
AMI: why not Lita?
ANDREW: Lita it is then.
AKITA OIL FIELDS
In the Akita oil fields there was a drilling in progress. In one of the offices the Former Imperial Navy Officer Natsumi Ginga, who brought the heart of Frankenstein's Monster to Japan in WWII, is now working in an oil factory in Akita Prefecture. One of the co-workers then walks towards her.
CO-WORKER: I understand they found a young girl that resist radiation.
NATSUMI: yes this girl here can resist it. I was just read about it as a matter of fact.
CO-WORKER: you said in Hiroshima some time during the last war, you saw a heart that wouldn't stop beating.
NATSUMI: I almost forgot about that incident. The heart no doubt was destroyed with the rest of the city.
Just then a sudden earthquake shakes the very foundations of the refinery and an offshore drilling tower collapses.
CO-WORKER: Earthquake!
NATSUMI: Let's get out of here!
As they run out of the office the other workers then join then to see the facility get destroyed. While watching Natsumi then sees the ground splits open. Natsumi for a moment glimpses a monstrous, inhuman visage peering through the fissure, and an unearthly glow, before it is obscured by collapsing wreckage.
Meanwhile back at the Radiation clinic Ami, Andrew, Greg were busy studying Lita. Lita was entranced by a dance show on a T.V. set.
AMI: it's strange she doesn't seem to react to words.
ANDREW: Look at her eyes, there's a strange green in them.
AMI: why do you think she acts the way she does?
During this time throughout the passing days Lita had grown much taller. She was now 2 to 3 feet taller than Ami. On the T.V. there was a man hollering during the dance, this had startled Lita as she quickly got up grabbed the T.V. and threw it out of the window. Ami then gets upset act Lita's action.
AMI (sternly): You know that was a horrible thing to do?
Lita feeling a form of guilt and remorse then sits back down with a sadden look on her face, with tears rolling down her face. Ami goes over to calm her down.
AMI: Its ok, you didn't know what you were doing. But you must learn to control yourself.
ANDREW: Ami!
AMI: you needn't worry she'll be alright
Lita had then stopped crying, and had just spotted Ami's necklace, Ami had then backed away in fear not knowing what Lita was trying to do. Andrew then grabs a nearby chair and hits Lita with it, Lita then snarls angrily at Andrew this had prompted not only Andrew but most of the staff to stay back. Ami then tries to get away but is caught by Lita. Lita then takes off Ami's necklace; the site of the fine jewelry had made Lita smile. Andrew then got close to Lita to calm her down due to the fact he hit her with a chair.
ANDREW: Alright take it easy, were friends.
