- Empty void. The complete lack of any form of matter. For untold periods of time, there was simply nothing.
- But then, out of nowhere, a faint glimmer appeared. It would grow larger, and larger, and larger, until finally, it became an atom.
- And then it became a molecule. And then it became a gathering of molecules. And then it became something more.

- [Pangaea, Earth]
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Many of the most spectacular beasts ever to roam the Earth walked about on the single continent of Pangaea, as Humans would call it in modern times. But a few of the greatest roamed not the land, but the seas.
- Rising to the surface, a pod of enormous creatures, far larger than any dinosaur that would come after them, swims as gracefully as whales despite their size. Though they bare resemblance to other forms of life, they are wholly unique, and are the undisputed kings of their era. With great reptilian bodies and jagged rock-like dorsal plates, their kind ruled the Earth for many generations.
- But not all is as peaceful as it seems. The largest of the pod of creatures looks up towards the sky, sensing something. One of his kin, a juvenile only the size of his head with under-developed dorsal plates, looks up in unison, with a curious expression on her face. He does indeed sense something, as an untold terror approaches from beyond the reaches of the atmosphere, visible only as a small but bright object in the sky. But unbeknownst to even him, deep underground, things were already stirring.

- [South American Wasteland, former South American continent]

- Director Jiro Ifukube, present at the excavation site in the South American Wasteland, has just informed the stationed Warmongers, Freedom of Justice and Blade of the People, of his particularly worrisome findings.
- (Thomas Scott): Those things are what?!?
- (Feng Lee): Sir, how can... I don't.....
- (Director Ifukube): I know, you two. I found it hard to believe myself. But I always had my suspicions. We all knew that the P.E.M.F.s were coming from somewhere, but we never knew where.
- (Thomas Scott): Those things have been the bane of our existence for nearly a hundred years! We need to destroy this--
- (Director Ifukube): NO!
- Freedom of Justice is slightly taken back by the quick retort from Director Ifukube, whom turns away with a look of shameful realization.
- (Director Ifukube): I'm sorry Thomas, but...... this is a unique opportunity. We finally have a chance to study our enemies at the fundamental level.
- (Thomas Scott): Alright, alright. Fine, sir.
- (Director Ifukube): Anyways, as I was saying.... these P.E.M.F. pods are indeed the creatures, but at a very early stage of development. Somewhat like the various stages of Human infancy inside the womb.
- (Feng Lee): And what else have you found about these things?
- (Director Ifukube): It's hard to believe, but I've found something unique about their genetic structure. Now, we've known for decades that P.E.M.F.s have predominantly Human DNA for whatever reasons. But unlike the ones we've fought, these pods' DNA are quite a bit more remarkable.
- (Feng Lee): How so, sir?
- (Director Ifukube): We've found that these pods all have different genetic structures. Some are close to Humans, like the P.E.M.F.s we fight, but some resemble totally unrelated species, even extinct ones!
- (Thomas Scott): What?
- (Director Ifukube): I know, it's absolutely incredible! But what more, I've managed to find one very special one of these pods!
- Director Ifukube points to the largest pod in the very epicenter of the site.
- (Director Ifukube): See that big one?
- Both Warmonger nod in unison.
- (Director Ifukube): That one's DNA structure is most similar to, get this, the Alpha!
- (Thomas Scott and Feng Lee): WHAT?!?
- The Alpha, off in the distance, briefly turns his head in the direction of the excavation site.
- (Director Ifukube): We've also found that these pods are nearly 4 billion years old! That's as old as the first known lifeforms on this planet!
- (Thomas Scott): So that means that what the Zeta told you in your head was true. That these things are an extremely ancient mystery, even to something like her.
