Author's note: Happy New Year everyone! I know I have not been updating my other stories lately and I want to apologies for the delays. I recently found a new stable job to work in and finally earning a salary, so I don't have as much free time as I used to unfortunately. But I will make an effort to update my stories with new chapters every now and then when I found the chance to write and upload them.

Anyways, since it is a new year, I thought a new story should be made to celebrate 2022. This story is inspired by laze jovano's 3 stories Elena's Journey to Skull Island, Invasion of Skull Island and it's sequel Tangled in Skull Island along with DJ Rodriguez's Monsters and Magic series. Recently I have been watching Elena of Avalor and I thought of how I would write my own interpretation of laze jovano's Elena's Journey to Skull Island, give these two people a huge shout out!

And while I do have bigger plans for this story later down the line, for now let's just start with the simple introductions. This chapter serves as a prologue before the actual story begins. The true story starts in the next chapter and I will make an effort to release it as soon as I can.

Note: Some Grammar errors might be up ahead, it is been a long while since I last wrote something. My writing skills might be a little rusty.


~In the Ever Realm~

From a far away land, there is a magical medieval kingdom by the name of Enchancia, it was the middle of night and in a massive castle owned by the Royal Family of Enchancia. In one of the rooms within the castle, a very young princess who was fast asleep. She is about 10 years old with fairly light skin, short wavy auburn hair and her eyes were shut as she is peacefully sleeping, wearing a light blue cyan nightgown with frills on the short sleeves, neckline and cerulean blue lines trimmed on the bottom end of her nightgown. But the most unique item she has on her was an amulet with a silver chain line and a few purple stone like beads attached to the chains around her neck, the main attraction was the oval, almost egg shaped gemstone, purple in color with silver edges on the side, it is none other than the Amulet of Avalor, one of the most powerful magical jewelry in the world.

While Princess Sofia was fully aware of her amulet's magical properties, what she is unaware of is the fact that there is another princess who reside in the amulet. Within the Amulet of Avalor lies the long lost Princess of the Kingdom of Avalor. The princess in question was surrounded by a magical void, purple in color, trapped inside the necklace for about 41 years! She appears to be nearly 16 years old with olive-skin, slender build and amber-brown eyes, ruby red lips and a long, wavy dark brown hair tied in a ponytail. Her outfit is a long red sleeveless over-skirt dress stylized with matching coral gauze ruffle/flounces around the elastic neckline and on the side and bottom with an attached ivory colored underskirt. Around her waist is a golden belt held in place with a golden buckle, wearing brown high heeled shoes with flowery patterns. Her jewellery includes a pair of golden engraved hoop earrings, a braided beaded bracelet on her left wrist, and a flower hair comb clip on the right side of her hair. She is Princess Elena of Avalor!

The Princess of Avalor was restless, being trapped inside the magical amulet for 41 years was a huge burden on her. Yearning to be free, she did everything she can do to test any princess who wears the amulet, to see if they have what it takes to release her from her prison. She had test so many princesses who worn the amulet before, giving them a variety of abilities as blessings for their noble deeds and curses as punishments for their sins, but none had ever lived up to her expectations to save her from her enchanted prison. But she believe that Sofia is the one for sure, Sofia passed all of the qualities she needs in order to release her, so she can take back her kingdom from the one who imprisoned her in the amulet in the first place, Shuriki. The evil sorceress who had murdered her parents before her eyes and attempted to took her life as well, fortunately the amulet she was wearing at the time saved her life when Shuriki's spell was cast on her, but it causes her to be imprisoned inside of her own necklace in the process.

Now that Sofia has proven to be the right princess, all Elena needs to do now is to let Sofia know about her story. It sounds simple enough, given that she could use the amulet's magical powers to either alert her or give her a vision of her past. Plus there is a secret passageway hidden under the castle that leads to a secret library and one of those books in the library might be her Royal Wizard Alacazar, who will give Sofia all the details of her past and guidance to free her. The daunting task was for her is to hope that the young princess could travel to Avalor and gain further guidance from Alacazar's chanul Zuzo, luckily it is summer holiday by tomorrow and Sofia's parents are trying to decide where the whole family should travel to. This would be a perfect excuse for Sofia to go to Avalor, But all of that seemed mild compared to possibly facing Shuriki herself since the little princess needs the sorceress's wand in order to release her.

Elena sighed in apprehension. This is her chance, she could finally be free from the amulet and come back home, but she cannot helped but to think of what or rather who she will have to face and what sort of danger she would put Sofia and her family into "Sofia, I have no doubt that you are ready for what's to come. I know that I would put you and your whole family at risk, but I have faith in you after everything you've been through up to this point." the lost princess said to herself, trying to keep hope close to her heart. But even if they were to succeed in defeating Shuriki, what then? Is her family even alive? It's been 41 years after all, she lost her parents to that wicked woman, but what about her grandparents? her uncle and aunt? her cousin? her little sister? has that witch also got them as well? Is she the last of the Royal Avalor bloodline? No, she must not let such negative thoughts clouded her mind, she must keep that hope alive. Even if her entire family have passed on, she knew all too well that they are still with her in memory and spirit, she must take her once beloved kingdom back from Shuriki's tyranny and restore it to it's former glory!

But what she is unaware of is that fate has so much more in stored for her once she reclaims her title and kingdom from the sinister sorcerers. The lost princess of Avalor has no idea that her life will changed forever when her destiny begins to intertwined with a king, a king unlike any she had met, seen or heard of before in her realm.


-In the MonsterVerse Realm-

In the year 1973, located in the South West hemisphere, beyond the vast Pacific Ocean. A perpetual storm brew in the middle of the sea, but what lies beyond the storm was not what most would have guessed. It was a tropical island, fueled with peculiar flora and fauna that cannot be found anywhere else in the world, an uncharted land that had never been seen by the eyes of the outside world, only recently found by satellite images. This is Skull Island and a massive battle has commenced, two of the island's inhabitants engaged in combat.

One of which was a large reptilian creature with dark green skin like scales with only two long forelimbs and no hind limbs and a long prehensile, almost serpentine tail. Having a long and slender, yet muscular sturdy bodies. Four clawed digits in each hand and a prominent bony spike protrudes out of each of its two elbows. Its torso was skeletal like in appearance as its rib cage was nearly visible to the eye and its head is skull-like with eye socket like patches on it, with the creature's real eyes set further back, its head also resembles a mosasaur and a jaw possessing two rows of serrated, razor-sharp teeth that are thorny, tooth-like in their inner mouths and a long triple-forked tongue. This is the island's most dangerous predator, a Skullcrawler named by a World War II soldier Hank Marlow. But the Iwi natives of the island had another name for this ferocious being, they refused to speak of it's name as it is an omen to them, it is known by the Iwis as a 'Halakrah'.

The Skullcrawler's opponent is an enormous bipedal ape with a small crown/scalp head, large brows, a flat nose with rounded nostrils and large canine teeth in his mouth. With light orange-brown color fur that covers the majority of his body except for his face, chest, hands, and feet. His skin is a dark gray color and large scars running across his muscular chest all the way to the abdomen. Small rounded ears on the sides of his head, one of which has a chunk taken out of it, though it's most note worthy appearance was his long bulky and muscular arms, giving him a distinctive silhouette. This ape is the king of this island, a god to the Iwi's eyes and a protector who goes by the name of Kong or better yet, King Kong.

The two put up a struggle back and forth. One tries to overpower the other, the Skullcrawler wraps it's tail around Kong's waist while the giant ape holds the lizard by the throat. The Halakrah tries to slash Kong with it's claws, but Kong holds its left arm while the right arm tries to slice through the ape's fur and flesh, then it manages to break out of Kong's hold by the throat and slide over him while still have its tail wrapped around him. With an impressive display of strength, the lizard like monster threw the massive primate with just it's tail over, Kong landed on an old shipwreck, causing some parts of the ship to stack on him and several large chains ensnare the ape in place. The Skullcrawler approached him, placing it's right arm/leg down on the simian and was about to execute it's competitor, until a barrage of bullets and ammo landed on it, it did little to injure it, but it was a bit of a nuisance since it interrupted it from delivering the killing blow. The Halakrah then turned to see that the human explorers from the outside world came with a small raft and firing projectiles from their turret, it decided to focus on the pesky humans instead, seeing that snacking on them will get them to stop pestering it would be killing two birds with one stone.

Leaving Kong to have the time to break out of the chains with all of his might, while the humans were stalling the voracious predator. The ape noticed that one of the chains were tied to the ship's propeller, one of the human explorer Mason Weaver fires a flare shot directly at the Skullcrawler's eye, causing it to shriek out in pain as it's right eye was scorched. James Conrad, one of the leads of the expedition team decides to distract the predator to leave the group alone, allowing Kong to improvise a makeshift weapon out of the chains and a ship propeller as he threw the weapon at his enemy, the blade of the propeller hits it's mark as Kong pulls his enemy towards him and tries to strangled it with the chains, before both massive fighters fell down, Kong got up and grab the Halakrah by it's mouth, twisting the propeller on its back before slamming it on the ground. Acting quickly, Kong grab its tail and slams it on a mountain, but the impact of the Skullcrawler on the mountain's ledge causes it to shook which made Mason fall of the hill and into the waters. Kong notices the woman in distress, but the Skullcrawler comes back for more as it jumps on Kong, but the ape pushes it back down and yanking the propeller of the creature before using it as a makeshift brass knuckles to pommel the enemy before delivering an upper cut up it's throat with the blade made contact.

Thinking that the threat is eliminated, Kong drops the propeller and turns his attention to the drowning woman. Kong's massive right hand reaches down the water and gently grabbed the woman in time, pulling her back up to the surface and checking to see if she is still alive. Out of the blue, the Halakrah strikes once more by leaping and bit Kong's left arm, catching him off guard as both rolled over before the lizard jumps up as Kong grabs it by the throat once more. The Skullcrawler tries its best to get the tiny morsel from Kong's hand as the ape tries his best to keep Mason away from the creature's hungry jaws, the ravenous predator pulls Kong's arm close enough for it to wrap its tongue around Kong's wrist. Now it is an intense game of tug of war as the lizard's tongue pulls Kong's hand right into it's mouth, despite some struggles and fail attempts, Kong mustered all of his might and with one yank of his arm, he pulls his hand out of its mouth, ripping its tongue and some of its inert in the process.

Having confirmed that his enemy is finally dead, Kong tossed it's lifeless corpse to the side and unravel its tongue as he open his right palm, revealing Mason to be in one piece. Before gently placing her somewhere safe, so that her comrades can retrieve her to safety, he looked back at the humans one last time before disappearing behind the mountains of the island. The human's expedition group continue on their makeshift raft to travel further up the river until finally the rescue helicopters arrived and brought them in. From a far distance, Kong witnessing the helicopters come to pick up the stranded survivors, as the vehicles flew away Kong begins to huff as he starts to pound his chest and lets out a mighty roar, signalling his supremacy on the island and as a warning for those who dared to brought harm to his island.

Though this king would not know that a new journey lies ahead of him, a journey that involves a princess in a distance world and it will change the very face of existence.


And CUT! Let's stop here for now, remember this is merely a prologue, serving as an introduction between the two worlds/realms/universes. The actual story begins in the next chapter, so I hope you guys are not too disappointed with this chapter since not a lot has happened. But before I called it for the day, let's get some facts on this story.

For one, MonsterVerse Kong in the year 1973 is much larger than the one in the canon Kong: Skull Island movie. I decided to make King Kong about 50 meters tall instead of his canon size 31.7 meters, why did I make that change? Well I have heard so many people complaining about Kong's significant growth spurt in Godzilla vs. Kong as to how Kong could grow from 31.7 meters to 102.7 meters. Remember people, Kong has 51 years to grow! Plenty of time if you ask me. Plus, Godzilla Junior in the Heisei Era movies grew from 5'5 feet tall to 40 meters in less than 3 years! If Godzilla Junior could do that, then why can't MonsterVerse Kong grew from 31.7 meters to 102.7 meters in 51 years? If you guys argue that Junior was living on an island fuel with Uranium deposits is what allow Junior to grow so quickly, then it is invalid. Because Skull Island is an extension of the Hollow Earth and it has it's own unique kind of radiation that also assist in Kong's growth development.

But for the sake of those kind of people, I decided to increase Kong's height in the year 1973 to 50 meters instead, so that people won't think his growth is too exaggerated since he would grow only twice instead of triple. I will do the same with the rest of Skull Island's flora and fauna as well like with the Skull Devil as it is now 45 meters tall instead of 29 meters tall. So that they would have an easier time to fit with the other MonsterVerse creatures.

So here is Kong's and the Skull Devil's height:

Kong: 50 meters.

Skull Devil: 45 meters.

Secondly, the Skullcrawler's actual name, the Halakrah. The name was revealed by Jia in the Godzilla vs. Kong novelize version of the movie, named by the Iwi tribe on the island and they prefer not to mention it, in their language it means 'persistent enemy'. Kind of fitting if you ask me since once they locked onto their prey, they will stop at nothing to taste it's meal.

And I know I already have a MonsterVerse crossover story with RWBY, but I think it is time for me to write something that is inspired from Disney for once.

Well I don't see what else I can informed all of you about the story in this current chapter. I think I will have a lot more to informed in the next and future chapters down the line. Leave a comment, review and feedback on this chapter and until then, have a Happy New Year everyone.
