MUTANIC KAIJUS
EPISODE 1: "THE INEVITABLE"
INT. HIGH-SECURITY LAB – DAY
A futuristic lab filled with massive glass tubes holding creatures in a colorless solution. The creatures resemble humanoid animals—A WOLF, A SHARK, A BAT—and two GIRLS: one with wings, one with a black cat tail.
A KNOCK is heard.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Yes, come in.
The door opens. A sharp-eyed woman, KELINZA, walks in and looks at the mutants.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS (CONT'D)
Beautiful, aren't they?
KELINZA
Nope. Not one bit.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
What do you think of the females?
KELINZA
They're not bad. Do they have some kind of special ability?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Yes, but they have to wake up before we know exactly what.
KELINZA
Are they fully ready?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
They are. But we need to keep them contained longer. We don't know when they might wake. In the meantime, I need to inject some sleeping venom—especially into the wolf.
KELINZA
Hydrion, right?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Yep. The most dangerous of them all.
KELINZA
Why?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
I didn't create him.
KELINZA
Right. The first mutant by Professor Silver. You were her assistant, weren't you?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Yes. She was a genius.
KELINZA
I've heard stories about her.
(KNOCK. Another girl enters—LELITH.)
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Oh. It's just you, Lelith.
LELITH
Yeah... um, Williams?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Yeah, what's up?
LELITH
My father wants a word with you.
KELINZA
The boss?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Yeah. (gets up) Kelinza?
KELINZA
Yeah?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Let's head to the boss's office.
KELINZA
What about the mutants?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
We'll make it quick.
They all leave the lab. As they exit, the SHARK'S fin twitches. The BAT wraps itself tightly in its wings.
INT. BOSS'S OFFICE – MOMENTS LATER
(KNOCK. They enter.)
BOSS
Come in.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Good evening...
BOSS
Sit.
Professor Williams sits.
BOSS (CONT'D)
How's the project going?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Smoothly, sir.
BOSS
Will they be ready to exhibit?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Tonight?
BOSS
Right now.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
They're not ready yet.
BOSS
I don't care. Big companies and countries are already here to buy them. I don't care what happens after. Get ready—you're about to go on stage.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Yes, sir.
(Storms out, pissed.)
INT. HALLWAY – CONTINUOUS
KELINZA
You okay?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
I'll be fine...
They return to the lab. The mutants are transported to the exhibition hall.
INT. EXHIBITION HALL – LATER
An M.C. walks onstage.
M.C.
Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow scientists, governors, and CEOs... I present to you the highest-ranked scientist of this institution—Professor Clinton Williams!
(Applause)
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS (ON STAGE)
Thank you. Thank you all for coming. You didn't come for nothing, so let's get right to it.
He gestures backstage. Large cylinders are wheeled in—three male mutants: ARKRION, VATRION... but not HYDRION.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS (CONT'D)
Allow me to present Project: Mutanic Kaiju.
(Excited chatter)
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS (CONT'D)
First—Project Arkrion. As you see, he resembles a shark. In full Kaiju form, he exceeds 300 feet. Can sense blood 15 km away, swim 200 km/h, survive 48 hours without hydration, and emit nuclear energy. Weakness—external heat.
Next—Project Vatrion. Think vampire... but not quite. He uses echoes to track prey, has enhanced senses—especially for blood.
Now, onto the females—
INT. BACKSTAGE – SAME TIME
A shadowed person cuts the tip of their finger. A drop of BLOOD hits the floor.
ARKRION: (sniffs)
VATRION: (sniffs)
CRACK. Cylinders tremble. The males start moving.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS (turns)
Oh great...
Chaos erupts. Arkrion and Vatrion awaken, smashing out of containment.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
(grabs Kelinza) Hide!
They dive under the stage. Screams echo. A mayor falls, hits his head. Blood trickles. A SHADOW looms. He looks up—
MS. KELINZA
Are they... harmless?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
They aren't.
ARKRION bites the mayor's head off. Screaming resumes. Panic everywhere.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Where's Lelith?
KELINZA
Restroom.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Let's hope she stays there.
KELINZA
You're really going to let these people die?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
They're not innocent. Got a better idea?
KELINZA (peeking out)
Most of them hid. That's good, right?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS (guilty)
They trace scent. Perfume, body odor... women are at a disadvantage here.
KELINZA
That's why you told us not to wear perfume...
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Exactly.
KELINZA
You knew this would happen.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Thanks to that idiot boss.
A WOMAN is lifted into the air by Vatrion.
WOMAN
Please, I have children!
VATRION
As if I care.
She gets eaten. Kelinza snaps.
KELINZA
If the females feel pain... the males might go to them!
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Good theory. But how will you cause them pain?
KELINZA (loads gun)
With this.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Where did you—?
Kelinza shoots both female mutants in the head.
KELINZA
Got them.
Glass shatters. The females cry in pain. The males stop killing and run to the females. Vatrion flies away with the winged one; Arkrion takes the cat-tailed one. Williams and Kelinza make eye contact with Arkrion.
BOTH
Shit!!
Arkrion charges. They dodge the attack. More chaos. Suddenly—
KELINZA
Hydrion?
A HOWL. HYDRION bursts from rubble, clashes with Arkrion in a devastating attack. Roars clash.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Let's go!
A GUN CLICKS behind them.
BOSS
Not so fast.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Shit.
BOSS
What the hell is this?
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Not my fault, sir.
BOSS (aims gun)
I'll kill you myself!
(Gunshot. The boss falls—wounded in the shoulder.)
LELITH (steps out)
I couldn't let you do that.
BOSS
Lelith... you traitor.
LELITH
I'm sorry, Father.
Kelinza checks Lelith's hand—cut on the palm.
KELINZA
You were the one who released them...
LELITH
Yeah.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Are you insane!?
KELINZA
We could've died!
LELITH
But you didn't.
KELINZA
You're a psychopath.
The SHARK grabs his female and leaves. HYDRION walks toward Williams.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Run!
They board a HELICOPTER. Hydrion leaps and grabs it. Vatrion tackles him off. The helicopter crashes, but everyone survives—thanks to Hydrion.
EXT. FOREST – NIGHT
Hydrion, burned, stands. Lelith is unconscious. Kelinza checks Williams, who is badly wounded.
KELINZA
Please don't die!
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
I don't plan to.
A SHADOW looms—HYDRION. He touches foreheads with the professor.
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Hey, long time huh? Take her far from here... take care of her.
(Coughs blood)
KELINZA
I'm not leaving you!
PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
Go.
Hydrion grabs Kelinza by the back of her shirt with his teeth and leaps away.
INT. SKYLINE – NIGHT
Hydrion runs. Suddenly—Vatrion swoops in and kicks Hydrion. Kelinza falls—Hydrion catches her mid-air. They land. Vatrion returns. Hydrion dodges. Battle ensues. They clash violently until...
Vatrion glows violet. Fires a nuclear laser. Hydrion takes a brutal hit. Gets up—launches counter-attacks. A brutal back-and-forth unfolds. Hydrion nearly collapses. Kelinza runs to him.
(...continued in next message for Episode 1 conclusion...)
(CONTINUED – EPISODE 1: "THE INEVITABLE")
EXT. BATTLEFIELD OUTSKIRTS – NIGHT
Hydrion is down. Vatrion blasts him again. Hydrion stumbles but stays standing. Kelinza screams.
KELINZA
Are you okay?! Shouldn't you be regenerating like them?
Hydrion's stomach growls.
KELINZA
You need... blood. Here.
Kelinza offers her arm. Hydrion moves in—but stops. He looks around. A deer approaches. Hydrion kneels and gently touches it. The deer lets him. Kelinza smiles.
KELINZA
Aww...
Hydrion's expression turns deadly. He tears the deer apart and eats it ferociously. His wounds rapidly heal.
KELINZA
That... was a huge twist.
Suddenly—ARKRION (shark) lunges from behind. Hydrion dodges and counters. Vatrion and the winged female descend.
HYDRION (EXHALES)
(silent growl)
His body glows—blue and violet. Steam pours out. He opens his jaws...
KELINZA
Whoa...
Hydrion fires a massive energy blast—his stored power from their nuclear attacks—hitting Vatrion and the winged female. Both are scorched. Arkrion is blinded.
EXT. AIRBASE – LATER
An elite task force arrives. They tranquilize and capture Arkrion, Vatrion, and the two females.
FEMALE COMMANDER
Where's Hydrion?
SOLDIER
He and Ms. Kelinza weren't found. As for the professor and Lelith, only blood traces were found—matching Project Arkrion's digestive system.
FEMALE COMMANDER
So you're saying... they were eaten?
SOLDIER
It's a high possibility.
FEMALE COMMANDER
We'll plan to capture Hydrion next.
EXT. LENORIKO ISLAND – MORNING
Hydrion runs across the sea carrying Kelinza. Eventually, they reach a remote island village. Kelinza awakens in front of a house near a quiet town.
KELINZA
Where... am I? Hydrion?
Hydrion sits like a loyal dog.
KELINZA
Listen... I know what Professor Williams said and all... but I can't take care of you. You're a high-class mutant who can turn into a Kaiju.
She gets up to leave. Hydrion closes his eyes. Steam rises from his body. His form begins to change.
KELINZA (turns back)
Huh? Oh... you can also turn into that?
She smirks, amused.
KELINZA (CONT'D)
We can work with that.
Hydrion's full Kaiju form remains unseen—only steam and glowing eyes visible in the silhouette.
