Maddison hopped off the bus and walked across the street. She stroad up to the door of the house directly opposite the bus stop and tried to recall what she had to do to get in. She rang the doorbell once, knocked on the door twice, rang the doorbell once, knocked on the door three times and then kicked the base of the door.

Immediately, on the other side of the door, you could hear many, many locks being hastily unlocked. The door creaked open and Bernie poked his head round the door.

"You got the info?" He asked.

"Yup," Madison ," a series worth."

"Well let's see what god of destruction Monarch is hiding in their basement this time."

Bernie opened the door a crack wider and let Madison slip in before quickly shutting it and closing it using one of every lock known to man. The two walked into the house and up to Bernie's recording setup and laptop.

His new rented house was quite the improvement from the dingy hole that was his old place. Monarch had given him a large sum of money for his help in Hong Kong which he had put towards a rental house and more security than anyone really needed.

Madison tossed the Hard drive to Bernie and opened her phone to all the pictures she took of her dad's Emails. Bernie plugged the drive into his old laptop and sat excitedly waiting for it to load. Maddison handed her phone to bernie whose eyes lit up when he saw how much material there was.

"Hey look at This," he said excitedly, "looks like a monarch boat was sunk by some new creature."

Madison leaned over and saw a blurry picture of an Email.

Subject: MUAO Investigation Team Status

Dear Dr Russle

I am sorry to inform you that the Expedition ship that you sent out to Investigate the environmental disaster off the coast of Argentina has been sunk by some massive unidentified aquatic organism, CodeName: Hedorah . I have attached a file with the findings of the expedition more on the creature in the hope that it might bring to light what happened and what is means

-Hedorah

Sincerely Ms Poynten

"Wonder what that thing could be?" he wondered aloud ,"some escapee from the hollow earth."

"Mabey..." Madison replied uncertainly, "let's check what was in that file that was attached to the Email."

At that moment the files had finished downloading onto the computer and the two tuned to gaze as the mountains of classified, illegally obtained titan scoop. Before Bernie could get distracted and start clicking on everything, Madison searched for the Hedorah File and opened the document.

The first thing that greeted them was a blurry picture of some dark creature with a blood red eye heading directly for where the camera was placed.

The page was a grim one of stats and numbers and calamity but there was no real info on what the creature was, only that it was big and killed things.

"Any ideas," Maddison asked, stumped.

"No," Bernie replied, stroking his chin, "nothing to go off of, and I think Monarch feels the same."

He clicked off the document and began to click on the most relevant sounding one "Titanomachy Overview".

The document was full of what each titan was doing, its plotted and projected path and the efforts to stop it. All the militaries of the world were stretched impossibly thin. Some places were lucky, countries like Switzerland had somehow avoided all damage but other countries like Australia were facing multiple titans.

As Bernie scrolled it was clear that there was frustration building up inside of him. Like there was something that all the scientists of Monarch had blatantly missed. By the time he was halfway down the file he slammed down the mouse and spun around on his chair, holding his face as if he couldn't bear to witness such incompetence.

"What?" Madison asked confusedly looking back and forth between the screen and Bernie, confused on what he was outraged with this time, "what is it?"

While Bernie seemed like some madman with an inflamed ego ,at this point he was probably one of the foremost world experts on titans, having read almost all publicly available research and also most of the classified stuff too. And in his little basement he worked away, tinkering and fixing what Monarch got wrong yet none would take him seriously as he had no real qualifications.

"Monarch you see is only treating the symptoms," he explained ,"they're fighting the monsters, they're helping refugees but they are not tackling the source."

He got up and walked over to a conspiracy board he had been working on with the strings all meeting in the middle, pinned over an image of Godzilla.

"This guy, the king of the monsters, has lost his throne," Bernie jabbing his finger at the picture ,"the titans they don't respect him. I believe this is because he did not secure his Alpha status over Kong and that has thrown the whole system into disarray, it's Moster anarchy."

"So, what can be done about it?" Madison asked ,"do we just have to wait until godzilla beats every single titan into submission?"

"There has to be a better way than that!" Bernie Shouted slamming the table in frustration ,"But i worried that it may have to be too radical for Monarc to handle, who would rather sit there and watch innocent people die rather than face up to it"
