Kiryu: Enter the Monsterverse

Chapter 7: Meteor's Wrath

HONG KONG BAY

"You know, for a payload so important. You'd think they'd get here a little bit faster." A worker complained while leaning on a metal post. He was a new hire, with his first job being to help get a giant robot off a ship.

Another worker then walked up behind him.
"You do realise they had to battle at least 4 titans at once right? It'll take as long as it needs to."

"Oh come off it, we've been waiting here for days just to do one job. I can be as annoying as I wanna be..." He complained, obviously not caring for the situation the soldiers were in.

As they looked into the foggy distance, the ocean seemed to part as a figure appeared in the distance. The two workers looked on in confusion before looking at each other in worry.

"Is...is that a...T-Titan?!" He said, worried about whatever it could be.

"...N-No, it can't be. There's no way. The Titan alarm would've gone off if Godzilla was here..." he said in disbelief.

The figure continued to move forward, putting the workers on edge even more. Emerging from the fog...

"Is that... It's the ship! Contact Monarch and let them know the Payloads arrived, Now!" He yelled.

As one of the workers ran off, the other looked at the ship as it made landfall at the dock. It was hard to even call it a ship, the entire thing was covered in burn marks and holes. It looked like it had seen a couple of world wars or something out of a horror movie.

The ship knocked against the dock, finally making a stop. The worker cautiously made his way around to the door on the side, only to see the door open on its own, a woman stepping out.

She then looked over.
"Is this Hong Kong Monarch Station?" She said tiredly.

"U-uh, yes? Are you General Sarah? Where is the robot? I don't see it-"

The general then fell over, collapsing from exhaustion. The worker rushed over and shook her, but to no avail.

"Hey! I need some help over here! We need an Ambulance, Now!"

Meanwhile, in Hollow Earth...

A giant boom shook Kiryu off his feet, forcing him to back up as he moved his tail out of the way. A ginormous furry hand reached around the cliffside, an axe following suit. The Unknown Titan reared its head up and looked at Kiryu with a look of curiosity yet caution.

It was Titanus Kong. But what was he doing in Hollow Earth? Kiryu's latest Databank indicates that Kong's containment was in a shatterdome on Skull Island, not in the middle of the earth.

Kiryu was lost in thought, prompting Kong to look in confusion. Kong thought he killed that metallic monster, how was it back? Or... was this a different one? Either, they were trespassing on his territory.

Kiryu shook his head as Kong grabbed his Axe from the ground, roaring at Kiryu in anger.

Kiryu threw his hands up in defence.
"WOAH, WOAH! I'm not here to cause trouble Titanus Kong. I'm just passing through!"

Kong didn't seem to be listening, instead roaring even more and beating his chest as a display of intimidation.

*Can he not understand me? I thought all Titans could speak telepathically! Shit, what do I do?!*

"ECHO! HELP PLEASE?"

"I understand Kiryu. Recommend course of action is to fend off Titanus Kong while I look through data files in the Monarch system. If we are lucky, I will find something of worth."
