Soldiers stood atop the crumbling overpasses, their eyes fixed on the silhouette rising from the surf—a mountain of scales and ancient fury. Below, the city held its breath, a silent witness to the collision of two worlds. As the ground trembled with the weight of footsteps that could shatter tectonic plates, the lights of Los Angeles flickered and died, leaving only the bioluminescent glow of the monsters and the flash of artillery fire illuminating the night.
