I'm finally back! It's time that we know what the precious cargo from Scotland is. What is it?
I saw that a few of you were curious as to how the 'Monarchs of Earth' storyline will play out, so I'll answer your questions (without spoiling too much!)
- Wolf Mike: The stories for 2018 and 2025 will be somewhat similar to KotM, but they will be significantly different, and more will be at stake in the second one. Not to mention that someone important will die in 2025.
- Veers: Anguirus will appear in the storyline, I just don't know when.
- Ian N: Kong will possess some connection to Hanuman, but not in the way you think. ;)
Since I'm back, and I might end up writing the Kong story soon, I'll just tell you one detail about Kong of Skull Island before I go:
The main antagonist will not be Ramarak (the Big Skullcrawler).
I've said too much! Enjoy, and please R&R!
Chapter VIII
The helicopter lowered itself onto the Saratoga, being the first one to land out of the fleet that arrived. Dr. Serizawa hurried to the side of the chopper as they lowered a strange, metallic object.
It was big, large enough to hold a human with room to spare. It resembled a metallic coffin, as there was a crack that went around the object, like it opened.
Serizawa helped the soldiers place the box on a wheeled rig, allowing them to move it effortlessly. They quickly entered the ship's freight elevator.
"Where to, doctor?" a soldier asked.
"Storage," Serizawa replied. "It needs to stay cold."
"We have power outlets in Storage Bay 5."
"Good. That's where we'll go."
Fury waited until Serizawa and the soldiers finished moving the metal box. Once they were done, Fury walked up to the doctor.
"Doctor," he greeted.
"Yes, Fury?" Serizawa replied.
"What is in that box?"
Serizawa had a grim look on his face. He didn't want to tell Fury, but he had to, one way or another.
"Come with me." Serizawa led Fury through the ship. They finally came to his office.
"The team will want to know, too," Fury said.
"I know, and I will tell them," the doctor responded, "when the time is right."
Fury nodded grimly as he took a seat at the table in the room. Serizawa leaned against the table, but still stood.
"After Shinomura's death, my father recovered a few of it's cells. He had them contained in the facility in Scotland, to keep them out of Godzilla's range. Hopefully."
"Is that what's in the box?"
"No."
Serizawa took his glasses off and wiped his eyes. Something about the contents of the case was troubling him.
"A friend of mine gave us permission to use his body for experimentation, after he died. Before long, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He died in 1979."
"And you inserted DNA from Shinomura into his cells?"
"Yes, but not before ten years of experimentation with rodents, apes, and birds. We were confident that we had everything right. Now, we're not so sure."
"You're keeping him in a frozen case...?"
"To preserve brain function. His body is functionally fine, but his brain is still inactive. We don't know if the DNA will heal his brain, but we're still hopeful."
A voice echoed on the intercom.
"Will Dr. Serizawa and Director Fury please come to the bridge?"
Fury rose from his seat, displeased with both Serizawa's decision and having to deal with military bogus.
"Be careful what you wish for, Doctor," he warned. "I've seen how Pet Semetary ends."
The doctor and the director walked onto the bridge. The soldiers were all over the place, running to and from several stations.
"What's the poop, Admiral?" Fury asked.
"We just got word on a missing Akula," Stenz replied. "The signal we received was found in Hawaii, in the jungle."
"How could it get there?" the director wondered aloud.
"It must have something to do with the M.U.T.O. that destroyed the facility in Scotland," Serizawa proposed.
"Either way, we would like a few of your agents to join the search party, maybe with the inclusion of Stark or Rhodes."
"They're all yours," Fury replied.
Serizawa stood behind the table, looking at the screen that displayed the location of the signal. Fury joined him.
"You think it's your monster, Doctor?" he asked.
"I don't know. Gojira is normally passive towards humans, but he's still an animal, so he's unpredictable."
"What about the creature from Scotland?"
"We were unable to do much research on it, other than the general size and length. It's remarkably serpentine. After some digging into the myths, we dubbed it as Leviathan."
