Description
On the remote Faro Island, a young native boy
named Chikiro was told to procure some narcotic
berry juice in order to assist the treatment of
Kinsaburo Furue. The boy rushed across the rocky
shore and made his way into a relatively large,
grassy hut. In the distance behind him, his mother
called out as she searched for her child. Little
did either the boy or his mother know that something
else was approaching the hut. The slithering sounds
of a giant octopus slowly became audible as it
appeared from behind a small hill. Inside the
hut, Chikiro's mother located and reprimanded
the boy, but the terrifying sight of the collapsing
roof completely shifted her attention. The giant
octopus had climbed onto the hut, seeking the
berry juice inside.
Several hundred meters away, the Faro Island
natives and the members of the TTV expedition
came to learn of the awful situation. The islanders
grabbed their spears, as Osamu Sakurai grabbed
his firearm. The natives arrived on the scene
and tossed their spears as Osamu fired upon the
gigantic octopus. As the humans continued their
campaign against the monster, Chikiro and his
mother escaped the collapsing hut. Suddenly, a
primal roar was heard... King Kong, the legendary
ape, appeared behind a towering fence. He ripped
the wooden gateway apart and threw the detached
pieces at the octopus. The great ape approached
the creature and lifted it, only to have the abomination
latch onto its head. King Kong finally threw the
octopus to the ground, and it slithered away as
the gargantuan gorilla threw two boulders at its
head. The defeated creature retreated toward the
shore, and likely to the sea from whence it came.

Description
Screaming his victory to the countryside, Frankenstein
cast down the freshly killed Baragon into the
valley below. However the humanoid kaiju's triumph
would be short lived. Hearing a horrible sucking
like noise, Frankenstein turned and looked on
as an enormous octopus shambled over the rocky
landscape. How or why the cephalopod demon was
so far inland completely baffled the crowds of
surviving humans that looked on, as the two monsters
prepared to lock in battle. The human behemoth
wasted no time and rushed to meet the sea beast
head on. He first tried hurling rocks, but these
had little effect against the octopus' muscled
hide. Frankenstein next moved to hand to hand,
a move that would cost the giant in the end. Unable
to cope against the kraken like beast's many limbs,
Frankenstein found himself being dragged to a
nearby cliff. Onlookers watched in complete disbelief
and horror, when both monsters fell into the sea.
On land Frankenstein might have had a chance,
but in the sea he was completely helpless. Against
an animal born from the sea, it wasn't long before
he was dragged down into the cold depths, screaming
his death cries into the waves.
The giant octopus would resurface for human
eyes a year later. Attacking a fishing boat
among the darkness and fog, the creature sought
to feed its insatiable hunger. Its meal was
cut short however. Rising too from the thrashing
waters, a towering green beast took hold of
the multi-limbed adversary. Gaira, the green
gargantua, born from the cells of Frankenstein
himself, was attacking the beast that had killed
its father. The slimy behemoth was completely
overpowered by the giant's omnipotent strength.
With little care, Gaira hurled the tentacle
kaiju away. The vicious Gargantua sent the octopus
into retreat, back into the black and safe confines
of the ocean's depths.
