Undisclosed location Ogata checked his watch. 9:59 AM. Silently, he urged for the elevator to move faster. The elevator doors finally opened, and Ogata sprinted down the deserted corridor. He opened the door at the end and stepped into the conference room, shutting and locking the door behind him as he entered. If you could even call this place a conference room, he thought to himself. There was no table, or even any chairs—just six large television screens mounted to the wall. All of them were switched off, but they didn't remain that way for long. Ogata checked his watch again. The moment the second hand ticked past the twelve, the sc

CHAPTER FIVE FACE-OFF Osaka, Japan First Sapporo, and now Osaka. First Rodan, and now Anguirus. Why? Why does he keep showing up? As highly intelligent as he was, Hiroshi Ogata didn't have an answer. When Anguirus made landfall in neighboring Kobe earlier that day, Ogata wasted no time evacuating the Geological Institute's offices in Osaka. Only after ensuring that the building was clear did Ogata make his exit aboard a Bell 206 helicopter waiting for him on the rooftop. For many of his coworkers, it seemed like an odd way for a mere geologist like him to leave the building. Little did they know, however, that Ogata was not a mere geologist.

CHAPTER FOUR OSAKA ASSAULT Kobe, Japan Located on the north shore of Osaka Bay, Kobe was smaller than nearby Osaka to the east; however, being Japan's sixth largest city, it was still a bustling, lively city in its own right. It was an unusually warm, sunny Saturday afternoon in Kobe, so many people decided it would be a good idea to relax and play at some of the region's beaches. One of the most popular of these beaches was Suma Beach, which granted visitors a marvelous view of northern Osaka Bay. It was a perfect day—a day ill-suited for the carnage that was about to come. Less than a kilometer off the coast of Suma Beach, the spiky

GODZILLA (ゴジラ) Gojira is known across the world as the King of the Monsters, and rightfully so—he is the most powerful and ferocious being on the planet. His kind originated millions of years ago, during a time when kaiju reigned supreme over the Earth. After the cataclysmic mass extinction following the Cretaceous period, Godzilla fell into a state of dormancy, in which he remained for 65 million years. However, this all changed on March 1, 1954, when the United States detonated its most powerful hydrogen bomb, Castle Bravo, at Bikini Atoll. The force of the explosion, combined with the resulting radioactive fallo

CHAPTER THREE NEW ALLIES Paris Metropolitan Area, France Just before lunchtime, the five Lyoko Warriors met up in the depths of the abandoned factory that overlooked the Seine. It was from here that they carried out their fight against XANA—or at least they had, until the A.I. dealt them a devastating defeat. The last time they were all here, they had just admitted a new member to their group: William. With XANA getting more and more aggressive, the five teens thought it would be beneficial to have another member around to fight him. But disaster struck on William's first foray to Lyoko—what had started off as a routine mission t

CHAPTER TWO A WORLD OF KAIJU Sapporo, Japan Spanning fifteen blocks across downtown Sapporo, Odori Park was one of the city's most popular landmarks. For decades, it had been a place of enjoyment for locals and tourists alike, providing them some respite from the bustling metropolis surrounding it. Additionally, it was the home of the 147-meter-tall Sapporo TV Tower, which stood proudly at the park's eastern end. It was also the source of a sound that hadn't been heard in over fifty years. SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOONNNK! The roar was so loud that it shattered windows in the immediate vicinity, and could be heard from several miles away as it

CHAPTER ONE KING OF THE MONSTERS There is something about life in the big city that may seem confusing at first—even with so many people going about their daily lives in close quarters to one another, activity still progresses at a continuous pace. Residents still arrive at their workplaces on time, public transit still runs on schedule, and cars still navigate the sprawling urban maze at a slow but steady rate. For some, therefore, it may be surprising that a place so densely populated could operate as efficiently as it does. For one unfortunate metropolis, however, this controlled chaos would be nothing compared to the mayhem that wa

The following is a work in progress. "For all the time that we've spent fighting XANA, our successes have always outweighed our failures. But this—" Jeremy let out a troubled sigh before continuing, "this is something far bigger than what we're capable of handling. Or the rest of the world, for that matter. There's nothing we can do." The last, gut-wrenching sentence hit Yumi hard. XANA had won? This can't be happening, she thought to herself, in denial. Yet here they were now. Jeremy went back to checking his computer. As Yumi watched him work from the display of her family's laptop, she noticed his eyes suddenly grow wide. "What is i

(Cut to the Ocean Replika. Odd has swum near the edge of the plateau, and notices the one with the activated tower is a considerable distance away.) Odd: "Hey, Jeremy? Any chance you could send me the Overboard?" (Cut to the Lab.) Jeremy: "Sorry, Odd, but I can't send you your vehicles underwater." (Cut to the Ocean Replika.) Jeremy (voice only): "However, attached to your back is a special 'turbo-pack' that will propel you through the water faster than you can swim. Aelita can show you how to use it." (As Odd looks over his shoulder to check out the turbo-pack on him, Aelita swims over to him and holds out her arm, revealing a row of f
