A large, cephalopod-like beast, Titanus Scylla had existed since at least the days of Ancient Greece, written about in texts from the time period as a sea monster. Eventually discovered by MONARCH, the organization kept the Titan dormant and contained within Outpost 55 located in Sedona, Arizona.
With the war between Godzilla and King Ghidorah coming to an unexpected end thanks to the United States military's Oxygen Destroyer, the three-headed monster used the opportunity to seize the throne and claim the position of Alpha among all the Titans of Earth. Letting out an unearthly cry that was heard across the globe, King Ghidorah summoned the massive beasts from their slumber. Scylla was one of these Titans, breaking free from the outpost that held her. Under the false king's orders, the aquatic creature attacked Phoenix, tearing into buildings with her spindly legs. After the Titan's rampage went on for several hours, the ORCA - a device capable of simulating the audio signature of an Alpha Titan - was used to bring the global assault to a sudden end. Sensing that the current Alpha was in need of assistance, Scylla began to make her way towards Boston as King Ghidorah once again engaged Godzilla in battle.
By the time Scylla arrived, however, Godzilla had already emerged the victor, slaying the three headed monster and assuming his rightful place as the new Alpha. Scylla acknowledged Godzilla's new position and bowed to the King of the Monsters.
Some time after the events in Boston, Scylla found herself going mad from hunger. She sensed and sought out a nuclear warhead that had been lost to the ocean floor that was currently in the process of being retrieved. Coming into conflict with the United States Coast Guard, Scylla did not back down from her prize. Before long, Godzilla appeared, having sensed the struggle between man and Titan and realizing the danger the warhead posed. He let out a fearsome roar, ordering Scylla to stand down. This time, the ancient sea monster was not as compliant as she had been once before, unwilling to let even the Alpha stand between her and her meal. She went on the attack and crawled onto Godzilla, stabbing him with her sharp legs and ensnaring his head with her tendrils. As they fought, they crashed into a coastal gas plant, causing an enormous explosion. With the two Titans surrounded by fire, Godzilla struck Scylla with his tail, sending her skidding across the ocean's surface. The blow was enough to knock the fight out of her and Scylla disappeared into the depths, far faster than Godzilla underwater.
Later, as Godzilla sought a place to rest after his duties as Alpha left him weary, he found a location that allowed him to sense and communicate with all his fellow monsters around the globe. Knowing that the world could not support so many active Titans all at once, Godzilla ordered them back to their places of rest, commanding them to sleep. |
