A lone boat cruised through the ocean. It was fairly large and carried a team of scientists, a few soldiers, and even a few 'mini-mechs'. The boat's destination was a far off Island. Recently astrologists had found a meteor orbiting the Earth. Upon observation it was clear the meteor wasn't normal and it eventually entered the atmosphere.

The meteor crash-site was discovered to be a distant island that wasn't known to have any humans on it. The scientists were headed to the island to collect samples of the meteor, though they brought the soldiers and mechs as a precaution. Some how, they'd even managed to get the angel known as Eliya in the off chance a Class 3 or 4 Kaiju were to arrive to the island, or already be present.

"The island's coming into view." Came the voice of the captain over the ship's inter-comm.
(Huh, not normally how an angel gets involved into something. Oh well)

Eliya ran around freely on the ship, looking here and there and everywhere, asking hundreds of questions about everything he saw. In spite of how many things he asked, though, the questions he had implied that the boy had an intellect that easily rivaled even those of the scientists.

Once the island was in sight, however, he switched gears and looked outside. His smile disappeared instantly.

"This is not a good place to be," he said. "I'll go examine the site first. Don't send anyone in after me until I give the word." A pair of large, white wings unfolded from his back.
Oop: Didn't quite know how else to include him :'D


It was pretty clear the scientists were happy to have someone who'd listen to their long winded explanations, outside of themselves that is. Once Eliya announced that something felt off to him and prepared to head off, several of the soldiers offered to come along but were declined.

As Eliya flew over the island it became apparent that the meteor had some mutagenic properties. The coast of the island has various mutated animals wandering about. The Seals on the beach walked on muscualr, dog-liek fore limes with lond tails ending in whale-like flukes. The Sea-turtles ahd grown in size, and most were walking up right. Lastly, the crabs on the beach were fairly large, with only six limbs, a pair of pinchers and two legs, and tall bodies.

Along the beach were a number of mutated fish that had grown limbs and were fairly saurian. As Eliya got further inland, the mutations in the animals became more drastic to the point many of them were hardly recognizable. Finally, he came across the meteor. It was embedded into the ground in a deep crater and was giving off a purple glow, and had black smoke coming from it. It was fairly large, several times larger than a house.
"Uh oh. Now it's radioactive. That can't be good." He plucked a feather from his back and dropped it over the glowing rock. The feather then turned into a gigantic dome made of lead that clamped down over the stone, ringing with a dull, but loud ring.

He started to speak, his voice showing up clear as day in the ship's comm. system. "This island is on fire with radioactivity. You do not want unprotected humans here. There are also giant, mutated animals everywhere."
"We know. We're at the shore and our geiger's are going nuts." One of the scientists responded. "From where you are do you see any Kaiju by chance? I know that some Kaiju are drawn to radioactive Isotopes." The scientist asked.

As if on cue, the ground began to rumble near the crater. The trees shook and even fell down or were torn out of the ground and thrown. A massive lumbering crab-like creature broke through the brush near the crater. It had a white shell with a number of small thorn-like spikes on the shell. It primary limbs, a pair of arms and legs, were long and spindly, though it had a number of smaller limbs sticking off it's stomach. It was carrying some kind of half-eaten, mutated fish.The Crab inspected the lead dome curiously. It seemed completely unaware of Eliya.
Eliya flew back in the air to distance itself from the crab. "Guys," he said, keeping his voice down. "Get off of this island. I have visual confirmation on a giant crab. Your mini mechs cannot stand up to it." He flew around the dome, maintaining distance from the creature. "It doesn't appear to be on any kind of rampage, but the slightest thing could set it off. Get out of here now. I'll maintain visual contact and let you know of any developments."
"Where is it on the island?" Asked one of the scientists. "Most Kaiju aren't particularly fast. And if it's a crab of some form I would assume it's shell would hinder its movement one way or another. So if it's far enough inland we might be able to study some of the local wildlife before we leave." The scientist asked.
"Absolutely not!" hissed the angel. "This place is now off limits until I can get a fix on exactly how many of these things there. I don't even know if this is the biggest crab on this island yet." He began looking around. Stone and jungle were nothing to eyes like his. He could see clear to the other side of the planet just by looking down.

(what he sees you will dictate!)
Eliya would be able to see thousands of the mutated animals going about their business in the jungle below. Deep underground a massive, sleeping dinosaur-like creature could be seen, though it wouldn't be waking up or getting out any time soon. Lastly, the only other kaiju-sized creature on the island, another crab, was stalking through the jungles near the crater, apparently stalking the other crab.
"Okay, there is a second giant crab here," said the angel. "It appears to be going after the first crab, and there are thousands of mutated animals all around here. This place is very unsafe. I would recomend studying from a distance for a while. I'm going to try to remove the meteorite."
"If yould, we would appreciate a sample. We don't know of any forms of radiation that mutate creatures like this." One of the scientists said. Before Eliya could do anything, the second Crab shot forward. It tore through the jungle with surprising speed for such a large, lumbering beast.

It rammed the first crab, shoving it into the lead barrier around the meteorite. Whilst the first crab was recovering, the second one immediately began tearing into the first. The second crab brutally tore the shell of the first off, before attacking the softer insides, whilst the first crab flailed about, trying to face its attacker.

It wasn't long before the first crab collapsed to the ground, dead. The second crab let out a loud roar.
"Uh, this might take a little longer than expected," said Eliya. "The second one attacked the first and killed it. They are very, VERY hostile! I'll need to move this crab before I can deal with the meteorite. I'll have to get approval from On High before I leave you all a sample, but even if it gets approved, it'll be like giving you enough rope to hang yourselves with. Don't do anything stupid with it."

He flew down and under the giant crab's body, then rose up again, intending to lift it into the air.
The giant Crab let out a confused chitter, before digging its claws into the lead dome, keeping it from going up any higher. It let out more chitters as its other claw reached out and dug into the dome as well. The Crab then began 'climbing' down back to the ground, despite Eliya's efforts.
"Oh, so that's how you're gonna be, huh? Fine then!" From there, Eliya made himself grow several thousands of times his original size and began breaking the crab's grips on the dome with his hands. "You let go, or I'm gonna get rough!"

First off came the first claw, then the giant Eliya began trying to pry off the second claw.
Once the Crab saw Eliya, now about the same size as itself, it let out a loud roar. The Crab wung its free claw, slamming it into Eliya's side.
Eliya yelped in pain. "Okay, that's it!" He shrunk back down and pulled his halo out in front of him. An instant later, he fired off a blinding beam of light into the creature's eyes.

"I'll turn up the heat if you don't behave yourself!" Eliya shouted.
The Crab let out a loud echoing screech when the light flashed in its eyes. It raised an arm covering them. It staggered back as it's sight returned from the bright flash. It looked around trying to locate Eliya. It let out a confused hiss. Due to his small size, the crab didn't notice him.
(I'm going on a week long trip, so I won't be able to replay for a while. Hope you don't mind.)
Oop: It's fne bro, thanks for letting me know. Enjoy your trip :3
Eliya zoomed in from below and shoved the massive creature from its underbelly with the hopes of rolling it onto its back faster than it could react.
