August 17, 1970 Outside Mars Atmosphere
Approaching the Giant Reddish Orange planet of Mars is a Rocket ship,with the label Aries 12 on its side. Inside this ship were three astronauts, one was a Caucasian male, the other was an African American female, and the last one was a Japanese American male. "Approaching Mar's atmosphere Captain Ryker," said the Japanese male. "Okay Joseph lets keep her nice and steady, Annie let mission control know please," said Captain Ryker. Annie clicked on a switch while speaking out, "Mission Control, Aries is approaching Mar's atmosphere...we should be landing here soon." "Roger that Aries, be careful down there and stay in contact." "Roger that Mission Control." Annie clicked the switch off as Jospeh remarked, "As much as I think its awesome that were gonna be the first people to set on Mars...its ridiculous to think that were doing this just because the government thinks the commies have a base here."
Captain Ryker couldn't help but laugh at the comment but retorted by saying, "Well as ridiculous as that sounds we do have orders and we are at war Joseph so whether its true or not were at least one step ahead of them." Annie looked at Captain Ryker with a look of concern knowing there was a bit of an elephant in the room and asked him, "Tyler, hows Emily and Michael?" "oh their doing okay, still going through a hard time since Elizabeth passed away," answered Tyler quickly. "What about you?" Tyler stared out into the controls with pure silence with lots of thoughts going through his mind until he answered, "Honestly Annie, these past few months have been difficult for me...I just can't help but wonder what if I saw that truck coming." Annie put her hand on Tyler's shoulder telling him, "Tyler, it wasn't your fault...you couldn't have known about that truck." "Annie it is my fault, she would still be alive today of I would have paid more attention," argued Tyler. "Captain were approaching the surface and for the record sir I agree with Annie," interrupted Joseph.
The ship begins pulling into the planet to which Tyler began looking around at his surroundings and saw nothing but red sand and a few dust storms as if it was like some of the desserts back on Earth. The ship finally landed as the three astronauts began leaving the ship walking on the planet surface looking around at their surroundings. Tyler picked up some of the sand but it didn't feel like sand, in fact it felt more like a slushy drink back at home which raised even more questions about the planet. "Hey Joseph, you finding detecting anything?" asked Tyler as he was dropping the sand from the palm of his hand. Joseph looked around with his detector till it started beeping to which he replied, "Yes sir, it's coming from over there." Joseph pointed at the direction where the wind was blowing some of the sand and started heading out.
They only walked for a short amount however as the detector started beeping louder and louder until they could see through the dust storm another rocket ship but with a Soviet Union symbol on it. The three astronauts stopped in their tracks as if they were frozen in time and surprised to see that the Russians had beat them to Mars. "Well looks like the commies beat us to it after all," commented Annie. "Well let's check out their ship and see if there's anyone there, and if their not then we check and see what they left behind," ordered Tyler. The three then continued on carefully and without wanting to attract any attention from the Russians that could potentially be in the ship. The three stopped in front of it as Tyler decided to head in first by climbing up the ladder and looking through the small window and saw nobody was in there.
"Hey it's all clear," said Tyler as he motioned for the others. Tyler opened the hatch and stepped inside with the others following from behind and looked around to see some dust on the controls as if then ship was abandoned for a long time. Tyler saw some paperwork in Russian and picked it up asking Joseph, "Hey is your Russian still pretty good Joseph?" Joseph nodded as Tyler handed him the paperwork and began reading it saying aloud, "It says that their mission is to investigate the planet to determine if it is suitable for an outpost to spy on the U.S one on the moon...pfff and they say us Americans are paranoid we didn't even make an outpost on the moon." Annie looked around the back and saw a few things that were really strange to her, they were these strange like statues and paintings. Annie 's eye caught a glimpse of something on the floor and looked down to see metal talisman that almost resembles a cross in a way but more ancient and metallic. Annie picked it up and looked at it before calling out, "Hey guys check this out!"
Tyler and Joseph entered the room to see all the stuff looking on in shock and amazement with a blown away Joseph remarking, "This is incredible, so there was a civilization here on Mars." Tyler decided to get back to the objective and said, "the real question is where's the crew." Annie turned around to see through the other small round window and said, "Tyler look." Tyler turned along with Joseph to see what looked to be a temple almost covered by the sand storm. "That might be where the crew went and how they got all this stuff, we'll load this up in our ship and then we'll go explore that structure," ordered Tyler. "Tyler I don't know, just seeing that gives me the creeps," said Annie with a tone of fear. "I agree with Annie sir, I say we just load this stuff up and head out besides judging by the condition of this ship the crew more than likely never returned," agreed Joseph. "How do we know that though, what if their still here and they set up an outpost inside that structure, look were not gonna do anything crazy were just gonna go in there quietly and if one of our statements is true we'll report to mission control and head home," said Tyler.
After loading up the artifacts in their ship, the three astronauts headed over to the structure looking at it in awe as it almost resembled the old Greek structures but made out of some sort of red stone. They entered the structure to see it was nothing but darkness and turned on their flashlights to see walls with strange writing on them and some other artifacts. Joseph looked at the left side wall and saw some pictures of these strange humanoid creatures working by the looks of it and commented, "Heh, look at this...this must be what the people on this planet looked like." Tyler and Annie looked as well both in awe at the sight but couldn't understand the language that followed with it. They looked forward then and saw three different pathways to which Tyler ordered, "Okay here's what were gonna do, we'll split up and check each of these out if any of you spot anything we'll contact each other and meet up back here same if we don't find anything got it." Everyone nodded and then began spreading out with each one going down their own path disappearing in the darkness.
Joseph was walking down his path barely seeing anything as his flashlight wasn't really the best, that was until something caught his eye. He shined his light up to see a carving of a three headed dragon with nothing more but wings, two legs, and two tails shooting lightning from it's mouths as there were also carvings of those people he saw earlier bowing to it. "What the hell is that?" asked Joseph. Joseph felt something on his foot as he looked down to see the corpse of one of the Russian astronauts reduced to nothing but a skeleton. Joseph gasped in horror and began breathing hard until he shined the light down on the corpse and saw what looks to be a journal. Joseph picked it up and opened it to see the writing is in Russian but he understood it pretty well enough to know that this guy was in a very severe panic state before his demise. The journal stated as followed, "We should have never come in here! This place is cursed and filled with nothing but death and sorrow. My two comrades and I have been separated and I can't help but feel my time is coming! I hear nothing but hissing and this loud evil laughter echoing throughout this place. This is no temple...it's a tomb! I pray that my comrades are safe and were able to go home. To any of those unfortunate enough to come in here and find this journal...RUN! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN BEFORE HE FINDS YOU!"
Suddenly, a loud hissing sound could be heard which scared Joseph to the point that he dropped his flashlight and the journal. Joseph quickly picked up the flashlight and began shaking as he moved the flashlight around. Suddenly he began to hear heavy breathing and felt a presence behind him before turning around and letting out the loudest scream of his life before being jumped by whatever he could hear Joseph's screams as she turned and yelled out, "Joseph!" After a few seconds of silence, She didn't hear anything and tried contacting Tyler saying, "Tyler, somethings happened to Joseph...Tyler...Tyler do you read me!" The same hiss could be heard freaking out Annie to the point that she began having a panic attack. Annie frantically moved her flashlight around, breathing heavily to the point she would pass out. All of a sudden she shined her light to the left and screamed before being attacked by what she saw.
Meanwhile, Tyler had gone deep within the temple but he tried contacting the other saying, "Joseph, Annie do you read me? Joseph...Annie! Mission Control do y'all read me at least!" Tyler gave up as he looked around until he looked down to see two corpses of the Russian Astronauts as he turned and almost puked on his helmet. Tyler was able to recuperate himself quickly and said to himself, "How the hell did I get myself in this situation?" "Perhaps I can help," said a mysterious but soothing voice. Tyler quickly turned at the direction of the voice and shined his light to see what looks like a elderly man that resembled those on the wall but a bit more human than he expected...and a bit short too. This man or humanoid was wearing a blue robe and had white hair but his face looked a bit more lanky but friendly by the looks of it.
"Who are you and what do you want!" demanded Tyler. "Forgive me kind sir I didn't mean to frighten you, it has been so long since I have been able to talk to anyone," said the elderly man lifting his hands up to show he meant no harm. Tyler was still breathing a bit shakily but he can tell this man meant no harm to him. However, he wanted to remain vigilant and said to him, "Okay no harm done but again who are you?" The elderly man politely bowed to him and answered, "I'am Ghidorah and as you can see I'am the last of my kind, and you are?" "Captain Tyler Ryker, my crew and I came from Earth to investigate this planet," answered Tyler as he began to calm down. Ghidorah smiled saying to Tyler, "Ah so there is indeed another planet out there with life on it." Tyler nodded his head before looking at the corpses and asking, "What happened to them?" "Oh they died of starvation I'm afraid to say, you can get very lost in this place without the proper guidance," answered Ghidorah. Tyler stared at Ghidorah asking him, "You think you can help me find my crew and we'll take you with us back home so you don't have to stay here anymore." Ghidorah's grin grew even more instantly replying, "Of course, follow me."
The two began walking together to which Tyler began to grow really curious about this Ghidorah and asked, "So what happened to your people and why are you here?" Ghidorah looked at Tyler but still couldn't see his face because of his helmet saying, "Before I answer my dear boy please take your helmet off I assure you the air is fine." Tyler with great reluctance took his helmet off but was surprised to find that he was right...the air was breathable. Ghidorah grinned again saying, "that's better, now to answer your question my people became extinct because of war... a war between a god and his people." Tyler stared at him curiously asking him, "A God? Kind of like the Greek Gods back at home." Ghidorah huffed a bit and continued, "Hmm interesting, but yes...this God was so powerful that he ensured peace on Mars could create life." "So like God from the bible? what happened to him?" asked Tyler. "With great power came great jealousy, the people began to hate this god and wanted his power thus caused a war between the god's loyalists and those that craved it's power, it had wiped everyone out including the god itself."
Tyler nodded his head feeling for the elderly man before saying, "Our planet too is in War...well sort of, were trying to battle communism but there has been no bloodshed but we have had plenty of wars over the years and none to pretty either." Ghidorah looked at tyler asking him, "Many of these people were like my family Tyler and I miss them dearly, have you lost any of your family?" Tyler looked down in sadness, normally he wouldn't want to speak about this subject but since he wanted to help understand with Ghidorah he answered, "Yes, last year I lost my wife in a car accident...we were hit by a drunk driver but I blame myself because I could have noticed him and stopped now I can't even look at my kids because of what happened." Ghidorah looked at him and put his hand on his shoulder as they stopped in front of this door and said to him, "We all blame ourselves for our tragic losses Captain, but what if I told you that I can have the power to bring your wife back."
Tyler instantly looked at Ghidorah in shock saying, "What are you talking about, what do you mean you can have the power to bring my wife back?" Ghidorah took his hand off of Tyler before walking over to the door turning his back on tyler before explaining, "Captain there are some things that my power can conceive even to some that consider it to be...unnatural." Tyler stared at him in confusion until he was able to piece together everything and said in awe, "Your the god that you were talking about earlier?" Ghidorah turned and looked at him with a smile upon his face answering to him, "Indeed I'am and too long have I been imprisoned in this temple...this tomb."Ghidorah turned towards the door continuing, "Inside this room lies my totem containing all of my power, you must free the totem if I am able to use my power." Tyler began hesitating at first not knowing whether he should or shouldn't before realizing his crew saying, "What about my crew, I got to..."
"Captain we will find your crew but think about it, you can see your wife again...your children will be reunited with their mother and your family will become whole, I can do that for you Captain all you have to do...Is let me out," finished Ghidorah as he began thinking about this is this for real...will he really see his wife again if he does this. Tyler came to his decision and without hesitating opened the door to see a giant room filled with many artifacts and in the center a skeleton of a three headed dragon with what looked like the totem clenched under it's boned wing. Tyler approached it and grabbed a hold of the totem pulling with every ounce of his strength till it broke free. Tyler lifted the totem up and glanced at it to see the same dragon sketched around it with Tyler saying to himself, "Is this what you really looked like?"
"Tyler...is that you?" asked a voice very familiar to Tyler. Tyler looked at the source and could hardly breathe, he saw his wife turned back first to him and began approaching her. Tears began rolling down his cheeks and began breathing shakily with his lips quivering after each breath reaching forward with his hand saying, "Elizabeth." Tyler touched her shoulder until she quickly turned towards him looking grotesque and decomposed with half her face missing and black blood oozing out of her mouth lashing out, "You bastard you did this to me!" Tyler let out a huge scream as he dropped the totem and fell crawling backwards as Elizabeth kept yelling out crawling towards him, "It's all your fault you fucking son of a bitch!" Tyler cowered before her waiting to feel her on top of him before he couldn't hear anything else and looked out to see nothing there. He stood up and looked around only to hear laughter that sounded like Ghidorah until he glanced back at the remains to see him only a lot more different this time wearing a dark robe with some red on it with these two sharp horns sticking out of his hood.
His skin was that of Golden scales, his hands were still somewhat human but with webbed like wings in between his fingers and long black claws as nails. His feet was more reptilian and had a tail with some spikes on it sticking out from behind. His face was now more like a creature than human as his eyes were big and yellow, he didn't have a nose anymore and instead had a lump with two snake like nostrils, and his mouth was filled with razor sharp teeth as he laughed at Tyler.
"You son of a bitch you lied to me, you said you would bring my wife back!" lashed out Tyler. "Young fool I did not lie to you, I did bring your wife back but not the way you wanted," said ghidorah with a chuckle. "Why are you doing this!?" asked Tyler as he began to breathe heavy in fear. "For to long have I been imprisoned! Now I will rise from the depths of this pitiful planet and rule over yours, you now like your crew...are mine now," answered Ghidorah as he let out a huge evil laugh. Suddenly, He began to change until he looked a lot like his true form with three heads, Golden scaly skin, Giant bat like wings, and two tails with the spikes at the end as he lunged at tyler inside his mouth as he screamed in sheer horror.
