Chapter 1

"The submarine is ready."

"Good to hear, Richter. We depart immediately."

"Are you sure about this, Dr. Yamazawa?"

"The Earth once belonged to the monsters, and from the super ancient city of R'lyeh, ruled the mightiest of them all. Ultraman Tiga sent R'lyeh back to the unfathomable depths of the Pacific, but scans have finally penetrated and detected the ruins' present resting place."

"Yes, you made that point during the briefing. The entire planet came under attack?"

"By the Master of Darkness and its servants, the Zoiger. They covered everything with inescapable contempt, but Tiga destroyed the Master through the combined hopes of mankind."

"So why are we looking for a dead and forgotten kaiju?"

"A confluence of promising developments, Richter. A French geneticist named Anton Fleurie who took his experiments into the Amazon Rainforest had his life's work all but erased by the DGSE. Though H.E.A.T. and Godzilla obliterated the last product of his madness, Russian spies were able to learn of their mission and arrive earlier, preserving a viable sample found on site despite the mutation's untimely destruction. The Japanese government recently purchased it from the Russians as a part of its Rapid Bioweapons Advancement program. Pure DNA. A Mimic with the ability to perfectly replicate any creature, down to the cellular level."

"And what does that have to do with Gatanothor?"

"The Master of Darkness shall return. If not in its original body, then in a medium we provide. All we require is a segment of the Master for the Mimic to copy."

"The evil that almost consumed the world?"

A green light dominated Dr. Yamazawa's eyes. "The humans repelled our assimilation efforts twice. They will not succeed again. The Master of Darkness on our side, the humans will lose the faculty to fight, and our forces will move in. This time, they will not have protectors to save them. Not Tiga. Not H.E.A.T. Not Godzilla."

Richter's eyes glowed an identical green, the telepathic fingerprint of the Leviathan aliens. "We understand."
