Chapter 9 - Adam and Eve

[Giza Plateau, 1989]

A man in his late 20's walks through the scorching hot desert of the Sahara. His neck and face is covered by a white turban. A woman and another man also walk with him through the desert.

Susan: "Mikey we've been walking forever! When the hell are we going to find these ruins"

Micheal: "Patience is key Susan! Patients…"

The other man pulls down his turban and chugs a canister of water

Tommy: "Oi we're running out of bloody water! Let's hurry and find this piece of garbage, eh mate?"

Micheal: "This long journey is going to be worth it!! Once we find it we'll be rich!!"

The continue through the long journey through the desert. After an hour of walking they stumble across the corner of an ancient structure poking out from the sand

Micheal: "Jackpot…"

Micheal walks over and starts digging through the sand. Tommy and Susan join in. They uncover a staircase that leads down underground. They all look at each other in glee before Micheal takes the first step down into the staircase

Susan: "You're just going to walk in without a care in the world?"

Micheal: "I'm Micheal Cujack! The world is my playground and I'm a curious child.

Tommy: "This guys bonkers…"

They all walk down the long spiraling stairs before they reach the bottom. They carefully examine the long corridors and slowly move forward while paying attention to the hieroglyphics scattered around the wall

Tommy: "I've never seen any hieroglyphics like this before…"

He points at a large hieroglyph that depicts two beings floating down in a beam of light

Micheal: "Probably some gods they worshiped. Take as many pictures as you can…"

Susan walks backwards staring at the hieroglyphs in awe before her foot pushes into the ground triggering a sudden shaking of the corridors

Micheal: "I should have guessed they'd trap this place! Everyone be careful!"

The shaking makes Susan fall back and she hits the wall hard. Her fall reveals a large door that was hidden behind a wall. Susan looks up at the door and stands up

Susan: "I think…I just found the mother load…"

Micheal looks into the room and his face drops in horror…two perfectly preserved bodies are laying in glass tombs surrounded by thousands of bones and other objects. Micheal walks in hesitantly…he walks over to one of the glass tombs and stares down at the man

Tommy: "This is fucking insane…"

Micheal bends over and reads the hieroglyphs on the side of the tomb.

Micheal: "A-Adam?"

Susan: "Adam? That's not a name common for the era of these ruins…"

Micheal walks over to the other tomb and stares into the glass at the woman…he bends over and reads the hieroglyphs on the side

Micheal: "Eve…Adam and Eve?"

Tommy: "Like the people from the bible? This is getting crazier and crazier by the second!"

Micheal walks over to Adam's tomb and taps his hand on the glass…he steps back and sighs

Micheal: "Take as many pictures as you can…this is…this is extraordinary…I don't even care about the money anymore…we just proved the existence of God…this right here will prove everything…"

Micheal stares down at Adam with admiration…but in a sudden flash Adam's eyes shoot open and they glow red while staring into Micheal's soul.

Micheal falls back and shuffles back toward the wall. Susan runs over and grabs his shoulders and shakes him

Susan: "Snap out of it!!! Snap out of it!!!"

[Present Day]

Connie: "What does that have to do with anything?!"

Micheal: "I was just giving you a rough layout…after peering into Adam's eyes I got flooded with information…information from the past, present and future."

Connie: "How does this tie into your involvement with the organization."

Micheal: "I used that information to spread the word of Adam…I created an organization to spread the word…I called it G.O.D….my wife, Susan, got pregnant 10 years after I started the organization…my daughter Tami was born and I brought her into the organization to teach her some discipline"

Don: "So you created the organization? Why did you start kidnapping people and doing who knows what with them?"

Micheal: "My organization was meant to spread the word of Adam…help the poor…research the cause of cellular dysfunction. But…when my wife died from the same disease I was studying…I went into a deep depression…but it didn't bring me down…I kept my reaserch going and almost found a cure…"

Hiro leans forward

Hiro: "what happened next??"

Micheal: "I didn't pay attention to my daughters feelings…her mothers death hit her harder…she went down a bad path…she got everyone to turn against me by pushing her sadistic ideals into their heads…they forced me out and started to do illegal research…"

Don: "What about the Kaiju? Why do they fight those things…to me it's kinda hard to believe their existence is real…"

Micheal: "Kaiju were brung here by Adam and Eve…they weren't always aggressive…they were once docile creatures…but after Adam and Eve's rest humans who could see them started hunting them…then it got worse when Tami took control. She realized she can use the soul of Kaiju to awaken Adam. Even though she's using the organization as a tool to do terrible things…she still stays in the same religious place as before."

Don: "So her entire goal is to use Kaiju to raise Adam for a sadistic reason…great."

Connie stands up and grabs his bag

Connie: "Where is this place. We will go there and find my damn sister."

Micheal: "They have several different facilities now…the main one is in Tokyo and the second branch is in Kyoto. Do what you must…I'm just an old man now….i can't do much but give you information…"

Don: "You've gave us more than enough. Thank you father Micheal…"

They stand up and walks up the stairs. Don grabs his rifle and throws it over his shoulder.

Connie: "First stop…Tokyo."

[Above Kyoto]

Tatski stares down at the ground from the helicopter. Her hair flowing in the wind and a witch hat sitting on her head.

Tatski: "Time…it's time to see if I'm really as strong as they say I am…"

Suyome peaks over and pokes Tatskis cheek with a sly grin

Suyome: "Someone talking to their self?"

Tatski blushes and looks away

Tatski: "Shut up!"

The helicopter flys over the city before disappearing into the sky above the clouds…
