Description
Monarch File 28

In the first few days of the 21st millennium, a new discovery changed the way we looked at the possible origins and history of kaiju.

In these early days of 2000, miners in the Philippines uncovered the 108 meter high skeleton of a deceased kaiju while digging for an apparent uranium pocket. The Monarch organization quickly managed to lay claim to the discovery, and the species was soon identified as that of an irradiated Godzillasaurus.

Monarch agents Ishiro Serizawa and Vivienne Graham quickly determined the bones to not be that of the current Godzilla. The bones themselves are currently stored at Monarch Outpost 100, where the skeleton has been roughly put back together and suspended in a B-Type cloned fluid to keep it preserved for as long as possible.

Dating techniques and observation determined the bones to be millions of years old. The discovery rocked the Megazoology community with the question of how a Godzilla could have existed so long ago before the nuclear tests that started the current Age of Monsters, along with what exactly could have killed it and left its body so deep underground.

The skeletal specimen has been labeled "Adam" by Monarch, and most current hypotheses implicate the KT Extinction as what could have released the sheer amount of radiation needed to mutate this ancient ancestor of Godzilla.

Before its death, "Adam" may very well have been the first kaiju in existence.

"-skeletal structure is definetly that of a Godzillasaurus, specifically one from either the Lagosi or Bravos genus. The body is very much like Godzilla, except with two key differences. The spikes on the dorsal spines are less jagged and are shorter and smoother, but in contrast the dorsal spines themselves are individually bigger. There was an extra pair that lead up to the top of the head, almost like a lion's mane. Study of the hips and other identifying characteristics have confirmed that Adam is very much a male of the species.

The head, once we uncovered it, was boxier then the one we are familiar with. The skull was almost like that of a bird of prey combined with a bear.

The tail was slightly shorter but at the same time may have been thicker and more armored in life judging by the extra osteoderms we found.

The body in particular had burns across the outer surface areas of the bones, especially on the torso and dorsal areas. It appears that "Adam" met its end not long after undergoing its mutation and growing to its current size. Of course, many questions still remain.

Just how did a presumably normal Godzillasaurus end up this way? What kind of radiation was it exposed to? Does Adam have any relation to the four living Godzillasauruses known today?

And most importantly, just what was it that killed him?

The recent results from the Bioscience division came back. Now that they've roughly managed to put it back together and analyze the bones, I've asked them to come to me with a possible cause of death.

In response, they gave me a list with over seven pages of injuries and counting. I've heard that Ishiro has already been given a copy of his own.

Since then, he hasn't come out all day, even for coffee. I don't blame him after reading it myself.

Thermal burns. Electrical burns. Five types of burns I didn't even know existed until today. All of them across the body. No wonder some of the bones were so black back in the cave. At the time I thought it was just age, but now...

That wasn't all. Several ribs were shattered, one of them just gone. Not broken to pieces, simply gone in general.

There were multiple fractures and shattered areas across the top of the skull and on the limbs, as if Adam had either fallen from a great height or been struck with massive amounts of force. Perhaps both.

Adam had three major stab wounds across its body, one in the chest, another in the back, and one in the left thigh. The most severe burns were in those stabbed areas. Several dorsal spines are outright gone and had to be found several meters away from the back. Slash marks have been found all across the ribs and face.

The left hand was mangled and dislocated, as if Adam had damaged itself while punching something. I can only thing of a living creature on the level of Deathla or the Atlantic Scourge as being that physically durable.

Lastly and most signifgantly among the still counting injuries was the way the bones were spread out, along with an analysis of the mountain itself. The area the miners found was wide open but hidden under a natural geological formation that had apparently grown from an ancient eruption. As if something massive had been dropped in the area long ago, one hard enough to create a volcanic burst that made the resutling covering of the crater. This event may have also sped along the creation of the mountain itself.

The fall hypothesis, as if Adam had been physically dragged all the way up into the sky and dropped, is looking more and more believable by the minute. And with the skeleton still being analyzed, we still don't have a full story.

But, if the increasingly probably scenario of Adam dying in battle with another giant monster is true, yet another question has been formed.

No other skeletal remains besides Adam's have been found in that cave.

If Adam died in combat, what happened to his opponent?
