== Plot (Story) ==
Logos start to play as slow, happy music plays in the background as we get a view of my group, staring at Tayla’s group as we were back together again once more. As we were hugging each other, we noticed Lucas was half covered in purple like bumps and looking at us in worry. [Me] “Lucas?” [Velma] “What happened to you?” [Lucas] “I was bitten.” [Tayla] “By one of those mushroom people.” Me, Velma, Ryselle, and Lauren all looked at each other before we looked back at Lucas and Tayla as I handed Tayla the notebook about the island. She flipped through the pages of the notebook.
[Tayla] “Let's see here. Neo Piranhadon? No, doesn’t look like them. Neo Foetodon, Brontosaurus, V-Rexs?! How many things are on this island?! Ah! Here we go!” She points her finger on the page that describes the Matangos on the island as she was flipping through the pages to find out if there’s a cure for it or not. She kept going and going until she stopped and slammed the book. She wanted to test something. [Tayla] “Anyone hungry?” She slammed down some food from the rations pack and we all began to eat a little until she handed Lucas food and he handed back. [Tayla] “What’s wrong?” [Lucas] “I don’t know. I don’t feel hungry right now. Or at all.” She gasped. [Me] “What?” [Lauren] “What is it?” [Tayla] “It’s too late. He’s at the first stage of the Matango Virus!” She stands up, pointing at him as Lucas is confused and everyone else gasps, including me. [Me] “Wait a minute Mom. It is not too late if this is the first stage of the virus. Now, if we can find a cure for the virus, then may-” [Tayla] “No Mike! There is no cure for it!” [Me] “What?” [Barnes] “That can’t be true. There has to be!” [Tayla] “No there isn’t!” Tears would flow from her eyes. [Ryselle] “Grandmother…” [Tayla] “I check the book! Lucas, I’m sorry.” She turns to him, saying her sorryies at the half infected Lucas now. [Velma] “Well. How about this plan? We built a way off this island and maybe, Monarch can help find a cure for the Matango Virus and if not, he may be put down for good.” She looked at Lucas and he looked down at the ground. [Tayla] “Ok. I like that plan.” Velma smiles happily as everyone gets together to think of a plan.
Meanwhile somewhere else and a few hours later, It was night time and Neo Kong comes crashing down from above and runs like he’s in a marathon or something like but he headed home where he caused a flock of Neo Terapusmordax as they fly away and Neo Kong looks at the shining moon. Back with us, we were setting up camp while I could hear cranking and noise in the background. I began to grab a gun and walk towards the sound of the noise until I saw it. A huge, old, and broken down boat! I went back to camp to sleep as Matango climbed the boat and roared at the night skies. “Day 5” the words appeared on the black screen as everyone woke up and Tayla noticed a huge cage behind her and walked towards it. [Tayla] “Hey guys?!” [Me] “Yeah?” She walked towards the cage near the shore off the island and everyone followed. It was a huge cage with huge amounts of water! Like they were keeping something here. The cages would be covered in vines and there was a base underwater as well. I could notice someone inside the base underwater, taking notes?! [Me] “Guys! I see someone underwater!” [Lucas] “Where?!” [Me] “In the underwater base! There!” I point so everyone can see the female scientist taking notes and walking around alone. [Barnes] “Should we get her?” [Me] “Sure. What to see why she’s still down there but Ryselle, Velma, Lucas, and Barnes. Stay here in case something happens. [Barnes] “Got it!” [Ryselle] “Where are you going daddy?” [Me] “To check out it and why she’s still down there. I’ll be back sweetie.” I bend down to pet her hair as she blushes and giggles. [Velma] “Please make it back.” [Me] “I will. I love you.” [Velma] “I love you too.” We kissed before Me, Tayla, and Lauren all went down an elevator that was somewhat still working as Ryselle noticed something in the distance, surfacing and going back underwater. Like a fin.
Meanwhile with us, Me, Tayla, and Lauren were all in the elevator going down to see the female scientist as we looked at the big underwater base and how much water there is in here. Like it was meant to contain something big but not Godzilla size. The elevator stopped and we walked in the short tunnel towards the base as we heard her on the phone and hid. [Female Scientist] “No no no no! I need more food and resources to continue this research! I am not going to leave it behind like Jurassic Park did!” [Me Whispering] “Wow. I didn’t notice we were in that kind of situation.” [Guy on the phone] “Look! We already sent some Monarch forces to the island to see why we can’t get anyone though! If they haven’t found you then you have to leave before they leave!” She was about to answer back before she got interrupted. [Female Scientist] “Hello? Hello?!” [Lauren] “That’s far enough lady.” She turns around and notices Lauren pointing her gun at her as Me and Tayla were behind her. [Lauren] “Who are you?” She didn’t answer. [Tayla] “Hey! Answer her!” [Female Scientist] “Fine. I’m Cath Miku. and I’m a scientist for Monarch.” [Me] “Yeah. I’m guessing. Why are you still here?! Everyone else left or was killed or turned into a Matango but you. You act like nothing happens at all and continue your work! Why!” [Cath] “Hm? This is why.” She turned away and pressed a button as a gate underwater opened up and something came out. It was huge and bigger than the ones that came out with it. It was a Neo Piranhadon! It was the size of the Mosasaurus and swam with two smaller ones as it roared underwater. [Cath] “I’m going to release back in the wild where it belongs.” [Me] “Before it eats the last of the humpbacks?!” [Cath] “Don’t be stupid-” [Me] “Look out!” I point at the glass and Cath notice the bigger Neo Piranhadon smacks it’s head on the glass and caused Cath to fall in the water or the small hole below as he bit her legs, slam her to the other side of the wall, and killed her off, eating her and gulping her down whole. We rushed towards the elevator but the two smaller Neo Piranhadon were biting the base until the bigger one slammed it’s tail on it, causing it to overflow with water. [Tayla] “Back inside!” She shouted as we rushed back inside the base, closing and locking the door as our only exit was flowing with water. [Lauren] “What are we going to do?!” [Me] “Relax. I got this-” I notice some scuba gear and turn to Lauren and Tayla. [Me] “How about we go for a swim?” [Tayla and Lauren] “Huh?!”
[Me] “It’s easy! We just use those scuba gear-” I point at the scuba gear and Lauren and Tayla notice it. [Me] “And we swim up!” [Lauren] “Expect it’s not easy at all Mike!” [Tayla] “Yeah!” [Me] “Mom, Lauren. Relax. I took some lessons in secret. Remember Tayla?” [Tayla] “No. Why?” [Me] “Oh. It was because your girlfriend took me to those lessons.” [Tayla] “Oh. I’m going to kill her-” Before she could finish, the glass was breaking, thanks to the two smaller Neo Piranhadon. We ran to the scuba gear and put it on. We held hands and jumped down in the water and tried to sneak up towards the surface until Lauren got stuck under a rock. I swam towards her and helped her out and when she got it, she gave me a thumbs up until the bigger Neo Piranhadon came out of nowhere, almost bit Lauren in the legs but missed. Lauren turns around and notices the bigger Neo Piranhadon heading towards her and chasing her down until she jumps out and makes it to the surface and Ryselle and the rest help her out. It looked around and noticed Tayla doing the same thing. Heading to the surface. It roared to get her attention and it worked as she noticed it was heading towards her one way and the two smaller ones were heading towards her the other way. She jumps out from the water and so does one smaller Neo Piranhadon but it jumps on the surface with her and next to the group of humans as Tayla lands with her friends and the smaller Neo Piranhadon landed next to them, dying quickly on land and having his last breath. Back underwater, the bigger Neo Pirahadon and small Neo Pirahadon bump heads after that happen and notice me. I noticed a small cage, to fit a human and swim towards it and inside as the bigger Neo Piranhadon almost bit my toes off! And swim away? Or a least behind a big rock. The smaller one tried to get in but I noticed a harpoon in the cage and shot it in the gills and tried the rope on the cage where it tried to free itself. I turn over back to the rock and notice that the bigger Neo Piranhadon wasn’t done! He came back and began to swim faster towards me, roaring. I noticed a lever above and pulled it down as it freed the cage and sinked and the bigger Neo Piranhadon almost got me. I crush the smaller one with the cage and swim towards the surface as the bigger one begins to chase me down, opening it’s huge mouth. When I jump on the surface, the bigger Neo Piranhadon jumps out of the water to roar and everyone notices it as it goes back underwater. Swimming around it’s cage. After a few hours later, we have taken off our scuba gear and we’re in some boneyard desert on the island and sign in relief. [Me] “Woo. That was-” [Tayla] “Something else.” [Me] “I was about to say that. But thanks anyways.” [Velma] “Uh guys?” [Me] “Yeah? Holy jesus! What is that? What the fuck is that?!” It was a Neo V-Rex as it rose up from the boneyard and roared at us. (Neo V-Rex Roaring) The End? Next episode is Matango (2020) S1 Ep7: Final Fight Part 1.
