  1. [Unknown Date]
  2. [Underground Atlantean bunker]
  3.  
  4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  5.  
  6. In the main chamber containing Gamera, whom would eventually be known as the Gamma in modern times, Atlantean workers are busy preparing the creature for its final stage.
  7.  
  8. Hephaestus stands before a particularly odd and somewhat primitive-looking machine, at least in comparison to the rest of the geometric and highly advanced Atlantean technology.
  9.  
  10. It looks somewhat like a large steam-punk furnace, with several long and clear tubes connected to injection spears that have been planted into various parts of Gamera's body.
  11.  
  12. Hermes rushes up to Hephaestus.
  13.  
  14.  
  15. (Hermes): Hephaestus, everything is ready to go!
  16.  
  17. (Hephaestus): Excellent. Then we can begin.
  18.  
  19. (Hermes): Umm......
  20.  
  21. (Hephaestus): What is it?
  22.  
  23. (Hermes): Well, it's just that..... are you absolutely sure you wanna go through with this? I mean, this is a very old and experimental piece of equipment. We have no way of knowing if it'll even work.
  24.  
  25. (Hephaestus): I know, Hermes. But we can't waste anymore time with testing and theories. I unleashed an awful power onto this world, and by the stars I'm going to fix it!
  26.  
  27.  
  28. Hermes nods in agreement, though with a tear in his eye and a sad expression.
  29.  
  30.  
  31. (Hephaestus): Alright then.
  32.  
  33.  
  34. Hephaestus puts his hand on Hermes's shoulder reassuringly.
  35.  
  36.  
  37. (Hephaestus): Do not worry, old friend. You'll hopefully live out the rest of your life, long and free of my sins.
  38.  
  39.  
  40. Hephaestus takes his hand off and pulls a lever on the machine, opening its furnace-like gate; he steps inside, and the gate closes; the machine is now aglow with bright white light. Hermes, seeing that one of the meters on the machine going into its red zone, is quick to start up the next step.
  41.  
  42.  
  43. (Hermes): Alright, begin the transfer!
  44.  
  45.  
  46. A glowing green fluid flows through the tubes hooked up to Gamera's body; the fluid enters his body, causing it to twitch.
  47.  
  48.  
  49. (Hermes): NOW! THE GENERATORS!
  50.  
  51.  
  52. Several large power generators are activated. Electrical energy now courses through the twitching body of Gamera, causing its eyes to suddenly open up. Gamera then begins to stand up until he is finally fully upright and roars.
  53.  
  54. His roar echoes throughout the underground shelter, catching every Atlantean's attention. All of them rush into the main testing chamber, marveling in awe at the godly creature.
  55.  
  56.  
  57. (Hermes): Fellow Atlanteans...... I'd like to introduce you to the world's savior..... Gamera!
  58.  
  59.  
  60. The Atlanteans cheer, and Gamera looks down on his creators with compassionate eyes; he then looks up towards the ceiling.
  61.  
  62.  
  63. (Hermes): Open the hatch!
  64.  
  65.  
  66. On Hermes's signal, the upper ceiling doors above Gamera begin opening up, one by one, until the last set opens, revealing the open sky.
  67.  
  68. Gamera's hind limbs retract into his body, and his propulsion systems activate, sending him soaring upwards into the sky as the first being to once again taste the air of the Earth since the evacuation of the remnants of the Atlantean people.
  69.  
  70. The one whom would eventually be called the Gamma in modern times slowly hovers through the air and takes taking in the vast expanse, the red clouds, and the many shapes of Gyaos flying about.
  71.  
  72. In particular, one red cloud, darker than the others, catches his attention; thunder illuminates this one particular figure: the shadow of Irys, the being that created such chaos. Now eyeing his foe, Gamera speeds forward directly to Irys, whom in turn sends hordes of Gyaos, numbering in the thousands, towards the flying turtle.
