Description
1993- The Discovery was made just off the shore Inishtrahull island,Ireland.A deep sea salvage crew manned by Captain Joseph Ryan and his first officer,Samuel Slade,were first clued in by a peculiar sonar signature near the wreck they were tasked with lifting.Heading down with an ROV robot,the team was surprised to find appeared to be Gorgo,a giantamphibious reptile moving about in the sea below them;The creature´s curiosus batting soon breaking the ROV.Using to flush the Tyrannosaurus sized creature out of the depths and into the shallows,it was netted and shot with copious amounts of tranquilizers.Put into the into the transport bay originally intended for the ship wreck, the crew strated to run into a few problems on deck.A Saboteur seemed to be on deck, having snuck into the portion housing the passed out reptile and unlocking several of its bonds.However because Gorgo was still drugged out,he was powerless to free himself despite his would-be liberator´s urging.When Slade and the Captain surprised a trespasser,they were suprised to find 12 year old Sean,who mistakely identified Gorgo as The Legendary Sea Dragon Orka.His late Father, a widower,had been the last keeper at the island lighthouse before being let go in 1987.Sean´s GrandFather had become aware of Orka after an earthquake in the 60s when it cam to investigate the lighthouse and its foghorn one foggy night.He´d passed the knowledge onto his son:who in turn passed it onto Sean.When Sean´s father was too old to continually return to the island and keep the creature secret,worsened by his ultimately failing health,that duty fell completely on his young son.When they arrive back in london,Gorgo is partially sold to a circus and was given a wide promotion across london.The creature,still mostly unconscious,was paraded around the city in the back of a semi-truck with the circus Slogan written into the tarp covering his back.''See Gorgo the Sea Dragon!Live in London!No need for Nublar!Prehistory is at your doorstep~!''
While crowds flocked to it,Officer Slade and Sean were less than thrilled.Gorgo´s new pen was little more than a glorified,half filled concrete swimming pool seated in the middle of a bustling,loud Battersea Park.While the circus owner did assure them this was only temporary and showed the plans for a much larger,comfortable enclosure with less racket:It was clear Gorgo wasn´t comfortable with how he was now.Awakening from the sedatives early,the confuse creature was easily startled by the excitement and nearly broke free;Only being backed into his enclosure by several stunt flamethrowers.Frightened by the alien world he been dragged into,with the circus intercom for the other shows blaring,excited crowds screaming and throwing popcorn at him,the electrified fencing around his pool: and the clauatrophobic spacing inside his pit;Gorgo was a nervous wreck for hours.Captain Ryan opted to just ignore the problem of conscious,telling himself it would get better over time.Ryan took Sean back to a hotel to place some calls as Slade stayed behind and watched Gorgo after hours.Seeing the creature snatch away a crane dropped cow carcass and retreating to a corner he huddled in,Officer Slade would later state the thing he saw was not the ferocious beast imaged on the circus poster,what he saw was just a scared young boy.
Back at Inishtrahull,a elephant-like-whale-like wail called out from the deep,frantically trying to find something.Rising up to the surface,the cry could be heard for miles but bore no response.Snarling and smelling the faded scent of man,the gargantuan form turned back towards the sea and tails swiped the lighthouse in anger.Shattered glass,stell framing and rubble flew everywhere as Orka charged out to sea.Passing the isle of Men and Wales,she made a beeline for the English Channel.The evacution alarms were sounded and thousands of civilians dropped what they were doing to clear out fast as possible.The prediction of depopulating the River Thames proved to be prophetically accurate,as rising from the ocean before the river mouth was the towering form of Orka.Wading through both the shallows and military fire,Orka made her way down river.With military and monster distracted by each other,neither saw the rows of jagged back spines breach the surface and rocket towards the mouth of the rider from the north east.
Orka halted at the enormous Tower Bridge,which blocked her path and dulled her ears from the screaming humans and jammed cars upon it when she approached.Godzilla Senior breeched out of the surf and charged after Orka,striking her in the back with a barely charged Atomic breath just when the behemoth reached for the Bridge.While more or less unharmed by the blast,it did get her attention.The heir to the line of legendary dragons of Inishtrahull island turned and roared at the lost brother of legendary sea dinosaur of Odo Island.
Charging up the rest of the Thames,Big G and Orka met each other in a head-on collision that could be heard across the city.Roughly equal in size and mass,it quickly turned into a wrestling contest with Orka trying to thrash Godzilla and Senior occupied with trying to keep his opponent contained in the river and out of the city.Despite Godzilla being herculean even by Kaiju standards,Orka ´s maternal rage and sturdy constitution allowed her to hold her own.Unfortunately for the Big G,the London evacuation hadn´t been finalized just yet beyond the bridges.A ferry had been coming into dock just when the Kaiju showed up and was trying to make its way up river but kept getting slowed down due to the thrashing waves the giants were kicking up.The ferry´s alarm horns sounded off,warning its passengers to all get below deck to avoid being washed overboard.Orka´s rage brimming and attention diverted by the ferry,Orka tried to drive past Godzilla and take a swipe at it.Senior quickly grab the boat and shove it out of the way,but Orka use her claws and slashes his face.
Back at the circus,Sean had slipped away from Ryan and reunited with Mr.Slade.Both agreeing that this mess could have been avoided if they kept Gorgo in the ocean and that the only way to stop the fighting is to give him back to his mother,they break back into the circus and get to work freeing Gorgo.However they can´t move all the heavy machinery parked outside Gorgo´s gate,meanig they can´t get him out of the pit.Sean suggests they let Orka know where he is and left her lift him out.Realizing Orka will tear London apart trying to find her son regardless due to his scent being all over the place from the parade,Slade figures soundis their best bet and since the partial muzzle he was put in was big enough for Gorgo to feed,but not call out,he sets to removing that.At first unable to get the feeding crane going,the duo are aided by the arrival of Captsin Ryan.While he was still hoping to keep Gorgo in captivity for an easy profit,he´s had a complete change of heart and showed up to help after presuming Slade and Sean to be there.Slade explains how they need to get the muzzle off and they go to work.Since he had the master key,Ryan is able to get the crane´s engine going as Sean and Slade manage the operation.Using the crane´s hook,they manage to snag and tear off the muzzle.
However Gorgo reflectively yanks back on the crane and pulls both Sean and Slade into his enclosure.Gorgo lets out a shrill scream towards the river.Both Godzilla and Orka hear the scream and Orka gets herself distracted.Taking his chance and wanting to end the fight,Senior lights up his back spines and fires his spiral Atomic breath at Orka.Blasted back into the river,the sudden jolt of the blast and her colliding with the sea wall headfist knockouts Orka.Grumbling,Godzilla holds up the bridge long enough for the last cars to get off the portion he was supporting,before letting go and walking off with part of the famous bridge collapsing behind him.Following Gorgo´s wails,Senior heads doen main avenue towards Battersea Park,moving just slow enough that any lingering crowds vechicles on the ground can get out of the way.
Gorgo fell silent when the reptilian mountain that wasn´t his mother loomed over the edge of the circus pit.Slade and Ryan put Sean behind them and hid behind the fallen crane as Gorgo cowered in the corner,shaking in fear of Godzilla,who blinked his eyes, looking between Gorgo and them back at Orka,who is recovering.It didn´t take long for him to the two back together.When he did,Senior seemed to shrug and grumble lowly,as much out of annoyance as it was mildly depressed sadness.After all, he is taking care of his son Junior and Junior adoptive brother Minya,before Senior go to London,he found Minya being beat up by a pack of Kamacuras.
Senior picked up Gorgo in his hands,calming down the terrified Gorgo and turned around.Orka had gotten back up on her feet and follows Godzilla.Upon seeing Gorgo in Senior´s paws,the enraged sea Dragon shrieked and started to charge.Holding his nerve,Godzilla stopped at the river side and gently put Gorgo down on the water.Orka paused.Gorgo looks at Orka and with a chirping screech,he hopped off the sea wall and swam up to her in an instant.Orka´s posture and disposition completely changed, her lips folding back over her fangs and flattening her ear fins down.She picked up her son,muttering only a low,happy hiss as she gave him a once over.
Senior bellowed quietly,stepping back into the River Thames.Orka put Gorgo back down,the little one climbing up and resting on her tail as she looked to the other Kaiju.Keeping a distance,the two exchanges growls,hissing,bark and bellows along with body language.Not in a hostile manner,likeOrka and Godzilla sizing each other up before,but more like the two were talking to each other.
Godzilla:Hey,were you going?
Orka:We re coming back home and...Hey,I did´t catch your name.
Godzilla:The names Godzilla.
Orka:My is Orka and thanks for bringing my son Gorgo back to me.
Gorgo:Thank Mr Big G for getting me out of that Cage.
Godzilla:You two are Welcome.
The conversation was cut short when Orka noticed a military columm moving down the streets bordering either side of the river,casting a glare at the units.Thankfully the commander in charge had more than two braincells to rub together and didn´t open fire even with all untis ready,for fear of provoking the calm...Turning,not side but down the winding Thames,the trio waded back into the water.Sean climbed out over the crane wreckage and watched the Kaiju depart over the horizon,Captain Ryan and Officer Sam putting their hands on his shoulders.His family secret might have been gone,but his father´s wishes had been met.
London survived its first Kaiju attack,with little devastated.Aside from trashing done to the circus grounds and main street duo to Godzilla walking down it,the only real damage done was to the Tower Bridge,which managed to remain standing despite a large chunk of the central road getting torn out when the Kaiju were wresting.Quick action by emergency personnel and most of the fighting occurring in the River Thames kept the damaged contained.While some action against Orka and Gorgo were lobbied for,the place the family turned up at next kept that from happening.After leaving London,Senior lead the adult(Orka) and infant(Gorgo) on a trek across oceans.While their voyage was lost several times due to them diving too deep,they were spotted first in the Lower Atlantic just off the coast of South Africa.GDF early warning sonar showed a pair of Kaiju moving past in the Indian shore and later weaving between Indonesia.
