Timeline:
+2000 years:
Early Greek writers describe a large sea creature called the Kraken. Long
believed to be a myth this creature
is later described and identified as actually existing.
1931: Dr. Halley
Wright, anthropologist and African scientist is the first white person to see
the legendary Nyani Mkubwa,
giant albino gorilla. After months of study she befriends the giant creature
and keeps its existence secret.
1952: Dinosaur
egg is irradiated during atomic testing and releases Kajiro first of the
rampaging kaiju. After attacking Japan,
Kajiro is beaten and frozen with an experimental “freeze ray” and towed to the Artic
Circle.
1955: An accident
exposes US Army Office Terrence Magrueder to incredible
levels of radiation. Now resembling a mutated and enraged zombie, the Atomic
Soldier and was called, grew to inexplicable size. Rampaging through the Nevada
desserts he is finally being brought down by the military after a battle on the
Las Vegas Strip. His comatose body is secretly housed at US
military research lab in California
to undergo testing.
Meanwhile
in Japan the
monster Kazan,
elemental lava monster, appears from the erupting Mount Fuji.
Believed to be related to primitive volcanic gods worshipped in the distant
past, the creature rages through the country side, destroying minor cites and
towns. Finally it is lured into another
volcano by the newly formed UN Science Alert Corps (UNSAC) and trapped with
explosives.
1958: Kajiro
reappears after a freak accident releases it from its iceberg prison. Kajiro
makes for Japan
and begins a second rampage. Driven off, but not beaten the beast goes on to
become on of the more frequent kaiju threats periodically popping up to attack
Japan, Korea, China and even the western US, and battle other Kaiju for years
to come.
1959: Scientists
discover the lost city of Atlantis
and in the process awaken the legendary Kraken. The gigantic octopus begins to
attack shipping and port cities in the southern and eastern US, until UNSAC defeats
and takes it to Monster Island.
1960: As scientists
detect a large meteor streaking to earth Karzan
reappears in a volcanic eruption of Kilauea, in Hawaii.
As Karzan heads to populated areas the meteor hits
the Pacific Ocean and up raises Honu
the space turtle. They battle and Karzan is defeated.
Honu then speeds into space and disappears.
1962: A
mysterious object crash lands in remote China
from space and soon after the acidic blob, Suan
appears. The creature rampages and feeds on electricity until it is stopped on
the outskirts of Beijing by a new
form of the freeze ray. The creature is transported to the newly created
sanctuary “Monster Island”.
1963: A large
prehistoric egg is found in Saudi Arabia
and accidentally hatched releasing the pterosaur like Kharsa.
The creature matures to adult form and attacks the city of Riyadh.
Finally it is killed in a pitched battle with the UN Science Alert Corps in Cairo,
Egypt.
1968 - 1970: The
First Delok Invasion.
The first year of
three years of war and destruction. In this year an advanced space
civilization called The Deloks attacked Earth. Their
intent was to wipe out humanity and take the
Earth for their own.
As part of
their plan they unleash the three-headed horror known as Tigan.
After destroying Jakarta, Indonesia
it heads to Tokyo. There it is
stopped by Nijira the giant moth and Kajiro in a
titanic battle. Nijira is killed, but not before
immobilizing the three –headed dragon sufficiently for Kajiro to pummel
it and finally chase it off into space. When the dust cleares
a large egg is found close to the body of Nijira and
taken to monster
Island. Kajiro returns to the sea
uninhibited by UNSAC.
Then
follows two years of battles with Delok space ships,
in which the enemy revealed a mind control apparatus capable of controlling the
inmates of Monster Island.
Several Kajiu, where freed by the Deloks
and used as weapons against earth. Unofficial volunteers from Earth’s
population begin attempting to use latent ESP to revert control and in some
cases are marginally successful. In one of these experiments, Honu returns to Earth, after being psychically summoned,
and has several battles with Delok space ships. This finally
culminates in a large in orbital battle between Honu
and the space dragon Drax. Drax
is defeated and crash lands into the Artic
Ocean, apparently dead.
The combined forces of the worlds
military, and the researchers of the UN Science Corps manage to defeat most Delok attacks, but many cites are destroyed while several
Kaiju are beaten and re-imprisoned on Monster Island.
Finally, in
1970 there is a massive battle in and around San Francisco
in which The UNSAC jams the mind control ray and releases a newly hatched
version of the second Kharsa. Kajiro surfaces for the
first time since 1969 and together the kajiu and
UNSAC turn the tables on the Deloks. This results in
the destruction of the Delok mother ship and a large
proportion of the invasion fleet. Kharsa and Kajiro
are sufficiently incapacitated to be transported to the Island.
1971: After the Delok invasion UNSAC officially recognizes the assistance
of 100’s of psionic individuals who help research and
ultimately fight the alien mind control rays. The UNSAC begin Project Esper and the UNSAC Psion department is created.
1975: A frozen
triceratops in a local glacier is exposes to toxic chemicals during a global
warming induced thaw. The confused beast emerges and able to fire
thermo-chemical blasts from its horns, destroys part of downtown Denver,
Colorado before being captured by UNSAC.
1980: The giant
albino gorilla Nyani Mkubwa
is drugged and captured by poachers, who kill his human
friend Dr. Halley Wright. He is transported to New York
City and there an attempt is made to sell him on the
black market as an attraction. Nyani escapes and
revenges Dr. Wright’s death killing his captors. Eventually, Nyani is lured and captured by the UNSAC team and taken to Monster
Island for safe keeping.
1982: A experimental military project called WarBot,
using captured Artificial Intelligence technology from the Deloks,
runs amok. Due to a combination of military inexperience with advanced
technology and contractor’s abuses the robotic AI is clinically insane and
attacks the military bases around Los Angeles.
The long thought dead Atomic Soldier, kept in a defunct missile silo is
awakened during an attack and defeats the WarBot in a
battle on Sunset Strip. The robotic remains were taken to Monster
Island where its self regenerating
circuitry revived it. It now wanders the island attacking any kaiju it
encounters.
1885: During a
period in which medical waste and radiological samples wash up along the
Atlantic seacoast of New Jersey,
a new horror is born. Called the Slime Monster, it appears to be composed of
the cells of dead marine creatures, algae medcial
waste and mutated by radioactivity. It comes ashore near Newark
and…
1989: A large red
and gold colored centipede, named Komukade, appears
in the rice growing regions of Japan.
It is believed to be formed from the seepage of toxic chemicals into the
soil. The Japanese Defense Forces can
not contain the subterranean menace but it is finally stunned through the use
pesticides. The UNSAC transport team contains it on Monster
Island.
1991: A 30-meter
long mutated anaconda, Serpente, wanders from the
Amazonian jungles and slithers into Rio De
Janeiro at Carneval time. It
wreaks havoc and kills many tourists and revelers before being defeated and
captured by the UNSAC forces.
1990: The secret
UNSAC project called “X” is begun. It is an attempt to create a mecha-kaiju and it is decided to use Kajiro as a model for theproject.
1995: During the
explosion in Molecular Biotechnology in the mid-90’s a
discredited scientist unwisely clones Kajiro cells from the UNSAC repository
with insect cells. The result is “Gigantis” a huge praying
mantis which kills its creator, wrecks the laboratories and attacks Milwaukee
and suburbs. The combined elements of the US National Guard, US Army and
scientists from UNSAC subdue it and transport it to Monster
Island.
2003: The secret
UNSAC project Mecha-Kajiro is completed.
????:
The Second Delok Invasion.
The living fossil, Acorazado, emerges from hibernation during a battle between
Nyani and the mind controlled Serpente
and Komukafe. The creature, which resembles a large ankylosaur with a spiked tail joins forces with Nyani and defeats the pair. Acorazado
is transported to Monster Island,
while Nyani heads into the Amazon.
The Deloks
release the psionic, spider like creature Azathar into the South American Continent.
The long thought
dead Drax reappears in the artic and attacks Norway
and other Scandinavian countries, before the newly hatched second Nijira defeats it with help form UNSAC and both are
transported to Monster Island.
