The year is 2017.

2004.
Zigra attacked New York, resulting in the death of 2,000 civilians.

2010.
Kamacuras laid waste to Paris. Casualties: 500,000.

2015.
Megalon destroys Tokyo, killing 6.3 Million people.

Then, in 2016, we realized this wasn't the end. The UN brought together the world's biggest nations in what was the biggest world-uniting event since the end or world war two. The UN formed the KRRA; the Kaiju Research and Response Association.

Now, the one of the organization's leading authorities, Doctor Serizawa, leads a team to analyze a Kaiju corpse that has washed ashore.

When he gets there, he is guided by some KRRA operatives that are already there to the corpse of a large Kaiju lying on the beach.

"It washed ashore here only a few days ago, sir." one of the operatives explains. "We've been unable to identify it."

"Allow me." Serizawa says as he walks up to the Kaiju.

It has jagged, rock-like skin formed into what looks like armor on it's back, and on the top of its head. Its neck is extended at an odd angle out from its shoulders, and based on the equal length of all its legs, it was obviously quadrupedal. It had a short, stubby tail, and it had black, beady eyes, which now stared up blankly in a emotionless expression.

"Well?" called one of the operatives. "Can you identify it?"

a minute passed, then Serizawa turned around.

"It's name is Kamoebas, and he's a species of irradiated turtle Kaiju." he spoke. "As for how it died..." Serizawa walked around to the other side of the corpse, where a large, bloody gash was present in the animal's side.

Serizawa pointed to it. "See the wound? there's four claw marks in total."
"What kind of Kaiju could have done this?" the operative asked.

"Him." Serizawa simply said, before holding up a piece of ancient parchment for the others to see.

"It can't be!" The operative said. "I mean, he's a legend! a myth! All the stories say he died off millions of years ago!"

"Maybe, maybe not." Serizawa replied. "But I, for one, believe he is still out there, and now he's awake."

with that, Serizawa walked off, leaving the KRRA cleanup crew to move the corpse to one of their nearby facilities to be preserved and studied.
