As the sun rose, Kong yawned and reached for his chest, only to discover that nothing was sleeping on top of it. He could only hear the chirping of birds and other animal noises. The sounds of quarreling nonexistent. The gorilla stood up and walked to the west side of the island, only to find no one there. This is when Kong recalls that Gestroyah had discovered and relocated to a new island.

He had never experienced such sadness; it reminded him of the time when he lost his parents when he was younger. The only difference was that Kong was aware that his friend was still alive. Kong looked into the sun and decided he didn't want to do his morning ritual.

As he began his daily patrol, his sense of loneliness grew stronger. Gestroyah had unwittingly imprinted themselves as a pack member into Kong's psyche, and now that he was gone, Kong didn't know how to deal with it.

He couldn't vent his rage on his enemies because they were not responsible for his friends' absence. The gorilla couldn't help but feel compelled to pursue his friends just to see them, but he knew that doing so would render his territory defenseless, allowing another titan to take its place as ruler.

He went to his improvised forge and looked at his latest creation. It was armor made of bones, bones that could conduct electricity. He and Gestroyah had tracked down a titan with abilities similar to his and made quick work of it. Preventing another disaster on the island, and Kong now had a new toy to play with.

The alpha of Skull Island didn't dare to say it, but he could feel the distance between him and his friend growing wider by the day. He was angry when he gained the ability to command lightning because he felt it wasn't his, but Odin was able to persuade him otherwise.

Kong huffs and dons the armor before returning to find Manda waiting for him. Kong's depressed mood vanished instantly. Manda and Kong have never gotten along; they can work together, but they're always at each other's throats.

Manda irritated Kong because his demeanor reminded him of the Skullcrawlers and his fighting style resembled that of a coward. To defeat his opponent, he employs poisons and deception as his primary weapons. He is constantly looking for weaknesses and exploiting them.

Manda despised Kong because he reminded him of Rodan: hot-headed, brutish, always eager to fight, and convinced himself that he was an alpha. Though, unlike Rodan, who would switch sides left and right, the serpent respected Kong for his loyalty.

Manda never swore allegiance to Godzilla, so he wasn't considered a traitor; after all, who would obey a barely adult as an alpha? Completely absurd.

"Come, we have more things to do." Manda said and slitthered to the ocean.

Kong huffed, but he knew he needed Manda's assistance in honing his combat skills against slick opponents. Particularly one of Manda's caliber. Gestroyah referred to it as "sparring," a method of combat in which both parties can gain strength and experience.

What a strange but useful concept.

As a result, the two fought while keeping in mind that this was not a death match. It didn't stop them from beating each other black and blue. As a result of this, Kong began to adapt to some of Manda's methods and apply some of his tactics to his own.

When dealing with opponents with high defenses, Manda developed a strategy similar to Kong's. Even realizing why Rodan was able to defeat him despite having a counter to his flaming body.

Nobody anticipated that something was about to change and Kong would be put to the test.

HUMANS POV

Monsters, monsters, and more monsters appeared, and humanity realized their time as the apex predator had come to an end. Godzilla's existence cemented that fact, but they thought he was their ally, even king! They are totally wrong.
