Godzilla: Legend Begins

Prologue

What is a Kaiju?

Kaiju are strange beasts that we couldn't comprehend in our lifetime. The first kaiju appeared was in Japan in the year 1954. Since then, Kaiju began to appear all over the world. These include the pair of Rodans in 1956, Varan in 1958, Mothra in 1964, Zilla in 1998 and the most recent, Clover in 2008. Since 2008, no other kaiju had appeared. Everyone went on with their lives for six peaceful years. No one had talked of any of the Kaiju. Well, all save for one, the first kaiju to attack.

Gojira, also known as the King of the Monsters.

Containment Building, Nagasaki, Japan

The containment building was large, easily taking up three blocks that were once homes and businesses. It stood tall as well, a good ten stories above the streets. Civilians would look up at the looming building and would have thought it was simply a large warehouse if it wasn't for the special vehicles that filtered in and out through the entrance.

The Japanese military built this building in 1966 on the outskirts of Nagasaki. No one outside of the people who worked there knew what the building was for and the Civilian population hardly had time to wonder what exactly was in there since they already have more important things to worry about.

The security of the building was tight with fencing all around the building, topped with barbed wire to ward off any potential trespassers. A gate sat on the left side of the area and the roadway from the gate fed into a parking lot. The said lot were vacant of cars, safe for a one or two that were owned by guards and a third one...though that one was not supposed to be there at all.

A man walked down a long, steel hall, his slowly greying, shoulder length, slicked back hair swayed at each step he took. His long brown trench coat fluttered behind him like leaves in the wind. He turned and walked through a doorway and into a room. Inside the room looked like an old lab, tables in the middle of the room, a glass case stood against the left wall. He walked over to the case, took a key from his pocket, unlocked and open the case's door. He took out a jar that had a rough, brown object inside it. Once his blue eyes locked onto the object, he slowly began to grin, a crazy glint in his eye made itself known.

He slipped the jar into his trench coat and, after looking out and seeing that the hallway was clear, began to walk back the way he came, acting as if nothing had happened. He glanced back down where the jar laid in his trench coat and he couldn't stop his mind from wondering, thinking about what will happen now. He started to feel giddy at his thoughts as he kept walking.

For him, it was time to show the world what he could really do. He would make them see how wrong they were for writing his family name off the scientific field.

He made his way out of the building the way he came and went to a dark green car before opening the passenger side door and slipping in.

"That was quick." A man spoke from the driver's seat as the man's dark eyes sweep to the older man.

"Security was hardly tight today." Was the other's simple response. "If you could be so kind, Raito."

Raito put the car in drive and calmly drove to the gate, showing the guard there his fake ID. The guard glanced over it before pressing the button and allowing the gate to slide open. The car pulled out into the street before shooting off like a bullet, leaving a slightly bewildered guard in its wake.
