Nick Tatopoulos was walking towards his lab in an abandoned dockyard. he walked towards the water, and looked down. one of the mightiest beasts ever to walk the planet had died no more than a month ago, it's corpse STILL on the Brooklyn Bridge, so large nobody has been capable of moving it yet. and it's death was his fault. he looked down at his reflection in the murky water of the harbour...and saw something. a hard stare revealed something orange and white. it was probably about as large as a football. it started getting clearer. splashing could be heard. looking up, he saw 2 rows of spikes emerge from the water. the head emerged. Nick fell to the floor in shock, struggling to back away as the smaller than full sized beast stepped onto the cement of the inside of his little shipyard research center. it sniffed him, and grunted. and started to follow him. Nick ran and hid behind a large container. the massive beast followed, staring at him curiously. it sniffed him and made a grunt. he tried to run, but suddenly he wasn't going anywhere. he was lifted off the ground, struggling against what had lifted him. he was then let go, only to drop in the monster's hand. he curled up and closed his eyes, hoping for a quick death, but none came. opening his eyes a crack, he saw the beast staring at him curiously. it sniffed him again, and put him down, and curled up next to him. it was probably about 100 feet long. "what the?" said Nick as he backed away and tried to walk around him, planning to get to the back office in the shipyard to call Elsie Chapmen, to see if she could get some containment equipment to try and capture it for research. but as soon as he manaeged to get 5 feet away, the beast got up and followed him. he started to walk back stuttering "n...ni..nice boy, nice Godzilla...stay there...stay...stay...no...no dont follow". Bane cocked his head with a grunt, and then stopped. Nick just stared wide eyed. had he just actually made one of, if not the only one, of Godzilla's only survivng children listen to him? did it actually listen to a command? he then went into the office and picked up the phone. Elsie had been at home, having finally got rid of the Godzilla problem. she picked up the phone. "Elsie Chapman speaking". "Elsie? hey it's Nick". Elsie was surprised. "Nick? hey! where've you been, stranger?! you've been gone since we took down Godzilla!". Nick made a slight nervous laugh and said "I've uuuh...had alot on my hands lately" he said. it was somewhat litteral, what with a 100 foot Dinosaur-like creature sitting outside making smoke rings with it's nose. "So, anything besides a friendly hi you called for?". Nick said "Yeah...you know my research facility in the old abandoned Dockyard a few miles north west of the bridge?". "Yeah...why?". Nick said "Well, could you come here please? and bring Mendel if you can?". Elsie hesitated, then said "Sure. when?". Nick said "As soon as possible". Elsie went silent for a few seconds, then said "OK.....anything else?". Nick said "come in through the back". she responded "Will do. i'll be there in half an hour". Nick sighed and went upstairs, to observe the monster outside his office from a higher level. he walked out onto the balcony, a slice of pizza in his hand, being extremely hungry, and was, in a few seconds, face to face with the creature. it was about 25 feet tall, and right now, staring right at him. "uuuh...hehe...want some pizza?" he said, as he backed away...
