Titanus gandaberunda supremus. A kaiju, larger in size than any other. A mighty, fearsome superorganism capable of inflicting destruction on a much wider scale than can possibly be conceptualized. And they were lost.

They had few memories of what happened before waking up submerged in an ocean in the middle of nowhere. What they did know, however, is that they had been sucked into some kind of portal after slaying an enemy kaiju. Godzilla, or whatever that lesser being's name was, had stood little chance against Bherunda. Bherunda's two heads strained to remember more of their past. Suddenly, after several seconds with no success, their eyes snapped open. A red, baleful glow emanated from these eyes. Bherunda had remembered something.

They had remembered their innate desire to destroy. Bherunda's internal malevolence was suddenly the only thing on their minds.

That isn't, however, to say that Bherunda is nothing more than a giant, mindless beast. After all, mindless beasts wouldn't find entertainment and pleasure in the suffering of any living organism they encounter, and they'd certainly not intentionally let someone live just to watch them grapple with the loss of family, friends, and home.

No. Bherunda is a creature of frightening intellect. Such intellect was simply used in horrifying manners for nothing but Bherunda's own amusement and instinct.

The enormous bird-like creature wasn't going to just lay in a crumpled heap in the ocean. They had a planet to destroy, possibly inhabitants to inflict suffering upon. With naught but a single swish of their immense wings, the twin-headed kaiju emerged from the depths, their two heads screaming in violently opposing tones. Bherunda felt a rush of exhilaration as they felt the wind underneath their wings. A nearby fishing vessel, which mere seconds prior had been drifting lazily along the waves, quickly fled from the unfamiliar being that had just erupted from the depths. Hovering several hundred feet above the ocean's surface, Bherunda surveyed the surrounding landscape; water, extending in all directions as far as the human eye could see. However, it was clear as day to Bherunda that there was indeed land on this world. Their vision was beyond impressive. Tiny details on the ground could be seen over 600 miles away. The fishing vessel, seemingly insignificant in size compared to Bherunda, caught the kaiju's attention. Deciding that the little beings on board would likely spread panic, the kaiju spared the boat. For now.

Bherunda's two heads briefly debated their next course of action. The left head, which appeared like that of a huge, malicious, toothed duck, suggested a grand appearance, one that would strike fear in the hearts of any and all living things. The right head, who looked more like an enormous, sneering, mutated eagle's, thought a more stealthy approach would be best. It was quickly decided that, if they wanted to cause the most pain, fear, and destruction possible, Bherunda would have to agree to the duck head's idea. With the plan now ready to unfold, the two villainous heads smirked in mutual understanding and began flying towards Poni Island.

The apocalypse, for this unfortunate world, was nigh.

2 fricking AM. Why am I still awake? I'm normally never awake this late! I just need some sleep! It's Monday tomorrow and I have my final math exam! I can totally hear mom asking me about why I look braindead on the day of the exam, like "Oh, Ailey! Why are you so tired? Hopefully it's not something a little toast can't fix!"

Toast doesn't fix insomnia, mom. It just doesn't.

Ugh. Something just feels…I dunno, wrong, I guess? Maybe it's just my imagination, but I feel a strange sense of foreboding. I'm not normally nervous about exams. Maybe I'm gonna have to do something with functions or whatnot. Arceus, I hate functions. Somehow, though, I don't think it's the exam I'm worried about. Something else is bothering me. Is it some new, undiscovered Pokemon? Doubtful. I've faced Ultra Necrozma and I somehow think that they don't get much scarier than that. But if it isn't a Pokemon, what is it? Is one of my friends in trouble? Last I heard from Kiawe was on Friday, but that's not unusual. I talked on the phone with Lana and Mallow yesterday. Today, I visited Lillie Sophocles, and Josan.

Oh, Josan…I hope it's not you in trouble…you of all people…I hope you're safe...

Am I needlessly concerning myself with my friend's problems? I mean, I could be, but mom often tells me that caring about my friends and feeling worried if they're in trouble is a good thing. Josan often tells me that he'll let me know if he needs help, but what if he has no way of contacting me? What if something happens to him that makes him unable to contact me? What if...he's dead?

No, no! Bad Ailey! Intrusive thoughts alert! Don't think about that!

Maybe it's all in my head. Hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow (if I ever fall asleep, that is) and find that I was simply worrying myself over nothing. I'll get up, get ready for school, and ACE that damn math exam! Yeah! That's the way to think! I'm feeling more relaxed already! Nothing is gonna go wrong! I'm just gonna go to school, do a buncha math problems, enjoy socializing with my friends (especially Josan, but don't tell him I said that, kyaa!), and feel safe! No need for worrying! I'm safe...right?

I just feel like something is going to go wrong tomorrow...

*Whimpers* I'm scared...
