RSAHNP: ONE-SHOT: The Galathean

*Thousands of years ago, in the vast cosmos of space, far from Earth, we see a world similar to that of our own in many ways yet also very alien.*

Narrator: Athea. The home world and birthplace of my people, the Galatheans. Our planet was kept warm by our star, Syriana, allowing flora and fauna to flourish far and wide. The seas of our world were vast and were abundant with life, the gravitational pull of three moons keeping them in perfect balance. Our world was a paradise. All of that changed many millennia ago when the Golden Demise descended upon Athea...

*King Ghidorah, the monstrous three-headed, golden cosmic dragon unleashes its gravity beams upon the world tearing it asunder. The Galatheans could only scream in sheer terror and attempt to run away from the planet ravaging beast.*

Narrator: The One Who is Many. The Golden Demise. Ghidorah. The creature was a living embodiment of death and destruction. Its storms tore the heavens asunder, its power made the seas boil and the mountains crumble. It ravaged Athea without mercy or remorse, its cries like that of some Demonic God. It took sadistic pleasure in the suffering and death it inflicted when it annihilated everything in its path.

*A squadron of Galathean ships launch an attack against King Ghidorah... only to be swiftly annihilated. The debris and wreckage of the ships plummet to the earth as the elders watch on helplessly from a distance. There was no way to stop the Golden Demise, no hope for their world. Their only options were to abandon their world or perish with it. *

Narrator: Our most powerful weapons, our mightiest warriors... were less than nothing to the Golden Demise. The planet-killer destabilized the core of our world, feeding on its energies as its storms continued to ravage the planet. It was only by some miracle that the Golden Demise halted its destruction, allowing the core to stabilize enough to maintain Athea's existence.

*Suddenly, King Ghidorah gazes towards the heavens, as if sensing something and ceases its assault on the world of Athea. It senses a world far from this one that it has ravaged. A world abundant in energy, a world filled with life, and something it so desperately craved... A challenge. Then, without further thought, Ghidorah takes flight, leaving Athea and heading towards its next destination.*

Narrator: The Golden Demise departed from our world, allowing the planet to cling to life. It was a phenomenon that never happened before. All the other worlds the Golden Demise had come upon were destroyed and left devoid of life. But our world had been left alive, crippled and ravaged by the ruthless King of Terror. We could not hope to live on Athlea, let alone thrive. We had to leave.

*Groups of Galatheans enter their spaceships and depart from their home world, many of them crying as they look upon the burning, ravaged, desolate world that was once their home and paradise.*

Narrator: Our people colonized a nearby planet, Ytrima, a lush world that could support life. In time, our race thrived once more. In that time, we discovered the world in which the King of Terror had been drawn to for reasons we did not comprehend or understand at the time. Our people could do nothing except pray, knowing in their hearts that the blue and green sphere of a world would ultimately be destroyed as so many others have. Or so we thought.

*Time passes. The new Galathean civilization on Ytrima is thriving and expanding. Children were playing, Adults were working, and the Elders gathered together to enjoy the beautiful day and reminisce about the past while telling one another the stories that their ancestors had passed down from generation to generation.*

Narrator: Decades passed. Then centuries. Our people thrived. We managed to not only establish ourselves on Ytrima, but also return to our home world of Athea. However, ever since the Golden Demise ravaged our world, we often wondered if it could or would return, or if there were others out there like him... or worse.

*Within a truly massive laboratory, many Galathean scientists are studying in various scientific fields. Researching and making new discoveries about the cosmos and the countless worlds that inhabit it.*

Narrator: We began seeking out massive lifeforms with powerful energy readings that exist in the cosmos and preparing ourselves just in case the King of Terror, or one like him, would invade our world. We found no massive lifeforms... until our monitors registered many, many vastly powerful, massive lifeform readings on the very same blue & green planet that the Golden Demise ventured into and never returned from. The entire planet itself was still unchanged and intact, but how? How could it be? Why was this world left seemingly unscathed? And furthermore... what fate had befallen the destroyer of worlds, King Ghidorah?

*A Galathean exploration spaceship make its way toward Earth, entering its atmosphere in its stealth camouflage.*

Narrator: Our ancestors traveled to the blue and green world, this world that the humans call 'Earth'. A beautiful and magnificent planet teeming with life, flora and fauna alike. A paradise. One of beauty and danger. A world of giant Protectors... A world of ancient Gods... A world ruled by the Titans!

*The Galatheans decloak and land their spaceship atop a stone peak, one that offers them a view of a lush rainforest where a herd of Titanus Behemoth are grazing on the vegetation of the tall trees. Suddenly, they're approached by a massive bull Behemoth, who lets out a trumpeting bellow as he knuckle walks towards the peak to investigate the new arrivals. The Galatheans are at first very much intimidated by the bull Behemoth - it possessed massive curved ivory tusks and it's long, dark claws on the paws of its forelimbs that were concealed as it knuckle walks and thus would only be visible from the side or if the creature stood on its hind legs to slash at a foe or grasp vegetation that would require extra reach. The towering Titan briefly stares down at the Galatheans, let's out a gentle rumble and then goes about foraging now that its curiosity has been satisfied. The Galatheans are in awe of what they have seen and witnessed. Their curiosity peaked, the Galathean crew decide to continue their exploration of this world.*

Narrator: Our ancestors explored the world, encountering many of the Titans. Some were docile and benevolent beings, while others were more temperamental and aggressive.

*A group of Galathean explores enter a massive cave dwelling. Minutes later, they rush out of the cavern screaming. The reason why is soon discovered as the Queen Muto thunders out of the cave, bellowing in rage at having her den invaded and her nap disturbed by the alien exploration team.*

*The team of Galathean explorers are walking atop a mountain, trying to detect the presence of a massive creature that they seem to be on top of yet cannot see. Could it be that their equipment is malfunctioning? They soon discover otherwise as Methuselah, a massive living mountain of a Titan, opens his eyes and lets out a low, tired rumble. The Galathean explorers scream and are about ready to run for their lives yet again, only for Methuselah to drift peacefully back to sleep. The Galathean team breathes a deep sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from their brows as they continued their exploration of this world.*

*The Galathean crew aboard their spaceship investigate a massive life sign originating from an extremely active volcano. Upon approaching the fiery mountain, Rodan, a monstrous fire demon pterosaur, bursts forth from the fiery lava of the volcano. The fiery creature glares at the Galathean starship, causing all of the explorers within to gulp and quickly take evasive action! Spreading his wings, Rodan gives chase, pursuing the Galathean starship relentlessly. If one were a casual observer, the chase could be considered quite comical as Rodan chased the Galathean vessel back and forth across the landscape. However, for the Galathean crew onboard, it was a terrifying and harrowing experience.*

*In order to escape Rodan, the Galatheans plunge their vessel beneath the ocean waves, diving far too deep for the fiery demon of the skies to follow. It was only moments later that their ship detected another massive lifeform sign on their scanners. Turning on the lights, it is then that they encounter Scylla, peacefully lounging in her den. Annoyed by the intrusion of the Galathean spacecraft, Scylla decides to take one of her long spidery crustacean legs and casually swat the spaceship. The force of the swat sends the exploration spaceship out of the depths of the ocean and up to the surface. Due to the velocity, seasickness and constant rotation of their vessel from the swat delivered to their ship by the annoyed Scylla, one of the members of the Galathean exploration team gets sick from
and upchucks/vomits in a comical fashion, much to the misfortune of his teammates onboard.* 

*Soaring over the Himalayan Mountains, the Galatheans encounter a small troop of Titanus Kong making their long journey towards a land where food would be plentiful for the immensely large, intelligent, omnivorous primates.*  

*While cruising over the waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Galathean explorers bear witness to the mighty Godzilla breaching the surface at night, his dorsal spikes radiating vibrant azure-blue energy as pods of humpback whales and dolphins swim beside him.*

Narrator: However, the Titans, the living Gods who ruled the planet, weren't the only thing our ancestors encountered. We met their worshippers, those who were part of the ancient civilizations... the Humans.

*The Galatheans explorers land their starship on a beach and are immediately greeted by the humans that dwell on the island. The peaceful humans welcome the Galatheans, leading them to their village to partake in the grand feast and to watch the exotic ceremony in which they displayed their worship of the Gods that dwelled upon this world.*

Narrator: Ever since then, we Galatheans have journeyed to the Earth for many, many centuries. Over time, the Titans began to vanish, most entering hibernation or returning to the depths of the Earth where many Galatheans theorized that a massive ecosystem existed that was the original home for many of the diverse Titan species. Over time, the stories and tales told by the Humans and Galatheans became mere myth and legend.

*In a highly advanced Galathean research facility on Earth, a female Galathean rests her hand on one of the hieroglyphics depicting Godzilla, Kong, Mothra, Rodan and many other Titans. She smiles fondly to herself, revealing it to be none other than Penny McIntyre. She goes about her work, looking at the various cave paintings, statues, hieroglyphics and images depicting Titans all around the world.*

Narrator: My name is Pena'Caulitha T'cohta, and I have always believed in the legends. For in my heart, I always knew that the Titans still existed and that it'd only be a matter of time before they would return. We Galatheans are a peaceful and benevolent race. We desire knowledge, exploration, experiences, adventure, excitement, happiness, enjoyment and fulfillment. It is because of these reasons that I came to Earth. I wished to live my dream and study the Titans.

*Penny opens several files on her computer, allowing images, news articles, and MONARCH documents to open, all of them focusing on the Alpha Titan who killed King Ghidorah... Godzilla.*

Narrator/Penny: Galatheans have been coming to Earth ever since we first discovered this world. However, since then, we've established rules and protocols to ensure our safety as well as not to alarm or adversely affect humanity. We were ordered to take the proper vaccinations, learn the customs and languages of the humans, and most importantly we must not reveal our true form to any of the planet's human population. The last thing we would want is an intergalactic incident.

*Penny glances over the pictures that her miniature flying databots had taken of the battle in Boston, downloading the files to her computer. Unfortunately, most of her databots were destroyed in the conflict at Boston, but at least she received a TON of photographs. Not to mention all of the videos and pictures she got from all the databots when the mass awakening of Titans occurred.*

Narrator/Penny: I've taken the human name and alias of Penny McIntyre. It's certainly a lot better than the name I was given at birth. I often wonder exactly what my parents were thinking at the time when they named me. It was my grandparents who told me of the stories of Earth, stories of the Titans and the humans. It was those stories that made me who I am today. I became the youngest scientist and biologist in Galathean history. Once I had everything necessary to live on Earth, I seized my chance.

*For a brief moment, Penny gazed at a single image on her computer screen, one depicting the dreaded Golden Demise known as Ghidorah glaring demonically at the camera of one of her databots. She could not repress the fear she felt, gazing into those sinister eyes of the planet-killer sent a chill down her spine as bioluminescent markings glowed to display the emotion she felt coursing through her.*

Narrator/Penny: Earth is mostly seen as a vacation planet for Galatheans. Families and couples often come here to enjoy the beauty and wonder of this world. Teenage and young adult Galatheans often came here for adventure, fun, and to party with the humans. We even have a base hidden in the frozen depths of the Northern Arctic Pole and another base/spaceship hidden on the barren planet of Mars for contingency plans. However, I am an exception, as I chose to stay here permanently, reporting back to the Galathean Science, Biology and Mythology Institute every six months. Even when the rest of the Galatheans fled Earth when King Ghidorah had awakened in Antarctica, I did not leave. I refused to leave the world that I had fallen in love with.

*Penny activated more photos on her massive computer screen, images displaying three of the planet's Alpha Titans: Kong, Godzilla and Mothra.*

Narrator/Penny: I never gave up hope. Despite the awakened Titans being under the thrall of the King of Terror, I knew there was still those who would never yield to Ghidorah and stand against him. Godzilla, Kong, and Mothra defied the call of the Golden Demise. I had faith in the Alpha Titans... I had faith in humanity. And in the end, Ghidorah was vanquished, and Godzilla took his place as the dominant Alpha Titan of this planet.

*Penny smiles and unintentionally accesses some images that features none other than... Ron Stoppable. She reaches out to touch the image of the blond hero, seemingly unaware of the blush that was currently coloring her blue cheeks or the markings on her flesh radiating their bioluminescence. She would never forget the day she met Ron Stoppable.*

Narrator/Penny: I've always been fascinated by humans, even attracted to some. The females in particular can be quite beautiful. It was one reason why I decided to enter Middleton High School so that I could better understand and learn about humans. However... none of them have I been more fascinated by or attracted to than Ron Stoppable. I was aware of him being a hero, the blond-haired sidekick to Kim Possible of the world-famous Team Possible. I often seen him in the hallways, and we had many classes together. I suppose you could say I was his secret admirer. A Galathean female who had a crush on a human male. One day, he actually spoke to me and complimented my eyes. It made my heart race, because it was such a sweet and genuine compliment. I wanted to get to know him more, to be closer to him. However, I was a bit perplexed by his actions the following day... confused, really. Was it something I had said or did? Nonetheless, I still wanted to get know him, I wanted to become closer to him. Unfortunately, work and my studies got in the way as per usual, but now that MONARCH has released many of their files, videos, and information to the public, I've now obtained more than enough data and information on the discovered Titans to take a very long extended break from my studies. And I intend to use that time wisely.

Penny: Hey, GK62!

*It was then that Penny's flying droid bot, an adorable creation she created and had named GK62 floats down and hovers to her side.*

GK62: Yes, Miss Penny?

Penny: Can you please access and download any & all information regarding Ron Stoppable and Team Possible? I wish to undertake further studies of him. I find him to be quite... unique.

GK62: As you wish, my lady. Downloading files now.

Penny: Excellent! Ready or not, Ron, here I come!

*Penny smiles impishly, clapping her hands and jumping in sheer excitement. She couldn't wait to get closer to Ron Stoppable and have some fun with him. It has been something she's desired ever since she became a student at Middleton High School and encountered the heroic blond.*

Penny: Hmm... I wonder if he's a good kisser? 

*Penny's blush becomes deeper, her bioluminescent markings radiantly glowing at the mere thought of her taking the initiative and kissing Ron Stoppable when they could potentially meet again. It was all so very exciting for her! She could only hope that her next encounter with Ron Stoppable would be sooner rather than later.*
