[Off the coast]

[G.U.D. Naval Fleet division on patrol]


(Admiral): Status on the scanners?

(Crewman 1): All clear so far, sir. No P.E.M.F.s so far and--

(Crewman 2): Sir! We got a blip closing in from the east, 2 kilometers and closing fast!

(Admiral): Any visual yet?

(Crewman 3): Copy that. Visual coming in in--

(Crewman 2): Sir! Additional bogies detected, coming in by air!

(Admiral): Get them all on visual! NOW!

(Crewmen): Yes, sir!


[Visual feed holograms are brought up in the main deck]
[Betas are being pursued by the Zeta who's followed closely by the Alpha; waves from the flyers churn the waters around the fleet]
[The Alpha swiftly swims by, easily sending several ships tumbling through the water]


(Admiral): Get the mainland on the line! Establish a communication link and warn them immediately!

The former Vietnamese city, after being evacuated, is now totally empty in anticipation of the coming storm.

A storm indeed, for a massive wave, the telltale sign of the Alpha, washes ashore, moving all manner of debris in the 20-meter high waters through the abandoned buildings; the beast himself walks into the outer limits soon after.

The Alpha looks above him, eyeing the Zeta flying overhead and hovering above him as she calls to him, trying to tell him something. As she does, the Gamma flies by, landing directly in front of the two and prompting them to now turn their attention to him.

The Zeta now calls to both of them, but before she can fully make them understand why she brought them together, the Betas fly by and fire their beams at her, slightly impacting her left wing and causing the Zeta to fly off with her attackers in pursuit.

The Alpha takes a step forwards, but the Gamma roars at him, bringing him to a halt. He responds in kind, roaring at the Gamma and expecting his challenger to back down. Instead, the giant turtle begins to walk forwards, roaring back.

Both begin taking steps forward towards each other; neither seem intent on backing down.
