It all starts here. Not in Madagascar but in Kenya, where the second Madagascar movie took place. After the third and last movie finished, Moto Moto, a side character from Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (you should watch it btw), was still living his life, still trying to get a lady to love after all this time (bleh). While he was drinking his water in a coconut with a hibiscus on the outside of the cup because he was so famished, there was a strange figure coming down from the sky. A 8'3" titan with a thirst for vengeance. As Moto Moto saw this figure, he knew that it was about to crash into the lake. The same lake where he confessed his love to Gloria but ultimately has to stay there. Its his only home. He is the only person that loves him. And he knows this. As the figure goes zooming down on this innocent hippo, Moto Moto tries to run away from his destination. The titan eventually came down, destroying each part of the lake where Moto Moto lived (a great first introduction).

Moto Moto couldn't run fast enough to avoid the catastrophe. He was pushed to the side of the tree right beside where the lake used to be. He sustained a few injuries from it (mostly on his lip. He didn't get any cuts or anything on his body), but he got right back up to walk up towards this beast. He looked around him and saw that this man was purple. He was quite confused. He looks at him, up and down like a mannequin wearing clothes of a different style of his (he doesn't know what clothes or a mannequin is. He just heard it from a visitor walking around and taking pictures). As he spits his blood down on the ground, he speaks up to him, "Hey dude, whatcha doing going around and destroying lakes. This ain't a good thing to do. You know there's people around here living right?"
The man looks at the hippo in awe. He's surprised that he even survived that fatal blow. The man tell him in glee, "Hello strange, talking anthropomorphic animal. I am in need of assistance. There is a person in this universe that we live in called 'Matt'. I need to get him before he ruins any of my plans. He is one of the only people that can defeat me. I am very weak from all the fighting I had back on this earth but I seek vengeance. He took something from me. A thing so necessary for my well-being that without it, it could end my life. So, will you grant me your willpower and help me?"
Moto Moto looked at him. He never really liked long speeches. He saw that he had power, but not power over him. As he was thinking this, he felt his throat hurting. His mind and body, reacting so furiously to stop it. The only words he coughed out were, " akkakkak. Wh..wha...are you...talking..about? I won't help any.....one who destroys my only home..."
The titan looked at him in disappointment. "My mistake. Should've never talked to a hippo."

Moto Moto's wrath came bursting out from his hand and he tried to land a punch on him with all of his might. The words he shouted were, " YOU'RE GONNA PAY BIG PURPLE MAN!"
As he goes for the hit, the man uses his finger to stop the blow. His finger as big as his hand. He knew that he was going to be in big trouble. As he though this he said, "Whats your name you monster?"
The man responded, "Thanos, thats my name. Not like you need it anyways."
Thanos pushes him back with his hand and uses his left hand (the one with the golden glove) to conjure up a nasty laser to kill him. Moto Moto flew to the lake, his only home, and broke his arm. He knew he was going to die so his final words were "Don't worry babies. I always come back. Just you wait."
Thanos spoke, " Sorry hippo, this isn't Five Nights at Freddy's. But reality is often disappointing."

The laser, reaching Moto Moto like a train on crunch time. He never wanted it to end like this but it did. But on the back of his mind he knew he was going to live again. Live again to get someone he would love. Not like them because of their looks but of their personality. He learned that he should be more respectful to women and other people as well. Thats what he learned from Melvin. But he shouldn't respect him. Not the man named Thanos. This man is about to kill an innocent animal all for what? For fun? For himself? These thoughts were rolling around his mind as his death was approaching. Time for him was going at a snails pace. He still believes he will survive. Unfortunately, it doesn't looks to be possible. As his final thought comes through to him, he thinks to himself that the next life after him will accomplish a feat he couldn't do. Love someone.

The laser goes through his chest and through the dirt. Thanos looks and him and speaks. "This is a man unworthy of life. His life was not a good one. That is why you need to be gone. But now is not the time for mourning. Its time to searching. To search for where these beasts are."
