Question.

What are you?

If it pleases you, perhaps the Mighty Scragg can answer your inquiry.

Mighty what now? Is that you?

Allow me to regale you with a tale of our unique history.

From a young age, our friend Kei Kawade

drew nothing but majestic kaiju.

As his illustrations grew in popularity,

the name Kid Kaiju was bestowed upon him.

Then, one fateful day,

one of Kai's kaiju miraculously came to life

and literally leapt from the pages of Kai's sketchbook.

And although he managed to turn Kai's father's brand new car

into a gigantic metallic pancake,

the kaiju proved to be more gentle

than your average neighborhood mutt.

What Kai viewed as gentle giants, others saw differently.

Monster. A monster.

MIGHTY SCRAGG: From that day forth, Kai's neighbors became somewhat wary.

News began to spread,

bringing forth unsavory attention to Kai and his family.

It all proved to be too much.

And in the end, they were all forced to relocate.

It was tragic.

Sorry to hear that.

Living in hiding, that's tough.

If you were a threat to humanity,

you would've already been on our radar by now.

It is all water under the bridge.

Yeah, you're right.

The reports of destructive Kaiju

have only occurred in the past few days.

Until recently, it's all been hearsay.

There's never been enough evidence to prove they're real.

Of all the Kaiju in this realm, we attacked the good ones.

You were right, Makoto. I'm sorry we didn't listen to you sooner.

It's OK. Apology accepted.

You'll have to forgive me.

It'll take some getting used to.

I thought Kaiju were scary.

Scragg would ask you not to judge a kaiju solely by its appearance.

All right.

Now that that's settled,

can you help us track down the bad ones?

Of course.

We'd love to help the Avengers.

It's nice to have you on our side, Kid Kaiju.

Never would've happened if you hadn't believed in me.

Thanks, Makoto.

Well, then, since we are all officially friends,

how about a lively round of introductions?

Yes, please.

Good idea, but keep it short.

But of course, Kai.

You've already become acquainted with this brooding gentleman.

Say hello to Slizzik, the mighty dragon kaiju.

At 35 feet, weighing 22 tons,

Slizzick is a medieval force to be reckoned with.

He favors attacking with its tail and breathing fire.

This lovely lass to my right is Makara.

As you can see, she is a mechanical kaiju.

Charmed, I'm sure.

Standing at 39 feet and weighing in at...

never mind that.

How about that saw blade?

You're forgetting my missiles and laser.

Everything I know about kaiju is completely wrong.

This hunk of steel here is Aejus.

He may only be 30 feet tall.

But don't let that fool you.

This fighting kaiju's armor puts him at an impressive 60 tons.

Enough talk.

Who among the Avengers is brave enough to spar with me?

Name a time and place and I'm there.

Oh, yeah?

Want to go right now, huh?

Settle down, Aejus. We're on the same side.

Next, we have the electrifying energy kaiju, Hi-Vo.

Bear witness to Hi-Vo's complete mastery over his physical form.

Marvel at his ability to manipulate energy with a mere thought.

Look at that.

If I'd known kaiju were this adorable,

I'd never have been scared.

It brings Scragg an immense amount of pleasure

to know you've changed your mind about us kaiju.

Last, but certainly not least,

introducing the mighty insect kaiju, Scragg.

At 10 feet tall and weighing 20 tons,

Scragg's a scrappy fighter.

And thanks to his cool insect-like figure,

Scragg is a favorite of kids on the playground.

These razor sharp claws make quick work of mine enemies

while this spiked husk provides protection

during hand-to-hand in combat.

But all that pales in comparison

to the grand finale, the insect swarm.

-Insect swarm? -That's gross.

Get them off of me.

I take it all back.

Kaiju aren't cute.

They're just creepy and disgusting.

Call them off.

How it pleases Scragg to see you all having so much fun.

Call them off, Scragg.

I don't think they're having as much fun as you are.

THOR (VOICEOVER): Let's get back to business.

We still lack information on the recent string of kaiju attacks.

Right.

We need to figure out where these kaiju are coming from.

FRIDAY: I may have a lead.

According to a recent report,

a kaiju cell found at the attack site

contained a number of elements not found on Earth.

Of course.

Let me guess.

They're alien-based?

Why now?

And what are they after?

If Scragg may...

IRON MAN: Go on.

As of late, we've been experiencing quite a bit of unease.

Earth is in grave danger.

We sense an abnormal phenomenon threatening all organic creatures.

Danger?

We're just supposed to trust your feelings?

It's more than a feeling.

How about we call it my Scraggy Sense?

Oh, come on. Scragg thought that was funny.

(RINGING)

Yes, FRIDAY?

I've picked up five large energy signatures,

approximately 800 miles south of here.

The readings indicate kaiju.

OK, team.

We've got five big baddies looking for a fight.

Let's move.

Leave this one to us, Kai.

(ALARM)

What do you think that's about?

Supposedly, someone saw a kaiju over there.

A kaiju?

What is that?

No way.

Well, don't just stand there.

Get moving.

We've spotted two more.

One's approaching from the sea.

The other's airborne.

Lightning strike.

Repulsar.

Look, everyone, the Avengers have come to save us.

That's nothing.

Wait until you see what the Future Avengers are capable of.

All right. Nothing gets past this point.

You heard the man.

Don't let them get to the power plant.

I got it covered.

Heads up.

There's another one coming from behind us.

Wait. Is that...

Kai.

We've got this one handled, Kai.

We're here to fight alongside you.

No way.

It's far too risky here, kid.

Turn around and go on home.

No, Iron Man.

We're not leaving.

We're going to prove how helpful good kaiju can be.

Now's not the best time to clear their names.

It's just too dangerous.

MAKOTO: Come on.

Quit being so stubborn, Tony.

Kai's kaiju are really strong.

A little extra help wouldn't hurt,

if we plan on bringing down these alien baddies.

I know I sure would like to see what they can do in a fight.

Leave it to us, Mr. Stark.

We'll keep Kai safe.

Thanks for backing me up.

Guess I'm outnumbered.

Only under one condition. OK?

Stay clear of the fight

and don't leave Adi's side no matter what.

Understood.

All right, Kai. You ready?

Yeah. Thanks, Makoto.

Finally.

Let's kick some kaiju tail.

Wait a minute.

Did I just hear that thing speak?

You haven't seen these kaiju do anything yet.

Come on. Let's get you guys to safety.

Be careful out there, guys.

Get somewhere safe, Kai.

Scragg won't let you down.

OK. Let's do this.

Avengers, ass...

Kaiju Avengers, assemble.

Sincerest apologies.

But Scragg has always desperately wanted to say that.

Quiet.

IRON MAN (RADIO): Adi, has everyone been evacuated from the worksite?

Yeah.

We're all taking cover in the control room.

We can monitor you from here using the security cameras.

Let me show you how it's done.

Double impact.

Wing dagger, inbound.

Repulsar.

Yeah.

Doing great, guys.

They didn't put up much of a fight.

That was easier than expected.

I got to admit, having Kai's kaiju around was really helpful.

FRIDAY: Tony, something is disrupting the satellites

positioned over this area.

It's always space.

Never fails.

FRIDAY: It's breaching Earth's atmosphere.

The object's energy readings are greater than anything

I've ever registered.

All right, Avengers, stay frosty.

Whatever that is, I don't like it.

Whoa.

I don't know.

Is that thing considered a kaiju?

It's a whole lot bigger than the others.

That's one mean-looking kaiju.

You suppose it's their leader?

It must be.

And it's come to tend to its fallen.

Perhaps this is what we've all been sensing,

the abnormal phenomena.

What's it doing with the kaiju bodies?

It looks like it's somehow collecting the energy from them.

It's likely these five were sent to Earth

as a scouting group to hunt resources.

And this Leviathon kaiju,

it'll utilize the energy collected by the others as nourishment,

in order to feed its spawn.

You think it wants to use Earth as a nest?

So it appears.

That's not gonna happen, not on our watch.

Not good. Look out.

Are you there?

Makoto?

Makoto?

Bruno?

You OK?

Yeah, I'm OK.

Me too.

Wasp, Cap, respond.

You two good?

Come on. Respond.

We're OK.

The jet took the brunt of the damage.

And it'll take some time to patch up.

Thor and Hulk?

THOR (RADIO): We're just a little dazed, that's all.

I fear that was just a warning shot.

If that's true, we've got our hands full.

WASP: We were lucky to survive the first blast.

I don't think we can take another.

Agreed.

We need to regroup.

Why don't you find the others and begin emergency evacuations?

We'll keep it distracted while you find shelter.

Wait. It's too powerful.

You don't stand a chance.

That may be. But the idea of more people getting hurt by kaiju,

it's something that really bugs Scragg to think about.

MAKARA: It's preparing for another attack.

I've got this.

Maximum armor.

Let it rip.

Let's go.

Missile strike.

Look at them go.

They might actually pull this off.

They're powerful. But the attacks don't seem to be fazing it.

How dare you taunt me?

I'll silence your tongue.

I'm sorry. I can't hold out any longer.

Aejus, no.

Nicely done, Hi-Vo.

Don't give up. We can finish this beast.

Kai, I'm sorry.

We failed.

Hi-Vo, Makara.

We can't just sit here and watch.

They need our help.

I'm ready.

They've been brave.

Let's show them they're not alone.

We're up and running again.

We'll have to use everything we've got.

You can count us in.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Listen up, here's how we do this.

Find its weak spot and focus fire on it.

Indeed.

Fall back. You're too close.

What do they think they're doing?

Why do they insist on taking the lead?

For pride.

They're trying to make a statement by defeating

the bad kaiju themselves.

A statement, huh?

And what are they trying to say?

That not all kaiju are bad monsters,

that there are kaiju willing to fight for humanity,

willing to risk their own lives in order to keep us safe.

Stop it. Let them go.

The power plant.

Is intends to feed.

We've got to stop it.

Stand back. Launching missiles.

It's not working. We can't stop it.

I thought for sure we'd be able to win when we teamed up with Kid Kaiju.

Everyone's giving it all they've got.

But no matter what we do,

it isn't enough to stop that big thing.

There's got to be more we can do.

This city is relying on us.

Is this all our combined powers are capable of?

Combined powers.

That's it.

ADI: It's too dangerous here.

Everyone, head to the underground shelter.

What are you doing?

We need to get to the shelter now.

You go.

I can't.

We can't leave without you.

We came here to fight.

And the fight isn't over yet.

That's why, I'll give it all I've got...

And then, I'll fight some more.

We're Avengers and we never give up.

That's right.

We have to keep fighting. We can't stop.

FRIDAY, help me out here.

All scans have failed to detect any apparent weaknesses.

KAI (VOICEOVER): Slizzick.

Scragg.

Makara.

Aejus.

Hi-Vo.

I need you to lend me all of your strength.

If I can combine all of your powers as one,

then I believe we can finally beat this thing.

It just has to work.

That's it.

I've done it.

Kai, you all right?

Where are you?

Over here.

I think I've got something that can defeat the Leviothon.

Look out.

What you looking at? I'm over here, dummy.

Now, Kai, if you've got something up your sleeve, do it.

OK.

Kaiju powers, return.

Unite.

And reform with your powers combined, as Smasher.

It's time. Let's end this.

Awesome.

It is incredible.

The combined power is too much for him.

That there is why they call him Kid Kaiju.

Yeah, great.

He combined the bodies of all five Kaiju to make one.

It's more than just that.

Their bodies are only physical.

But the heart of Smasher is a combination of my power,

the Avengers' fighting spirit,

and the sheer will of Makoto and his friends.

It's the ultimate kaiju.

Stop her. She's getting away.

FRIDAY: I've detected a powerful energy core

inside the Leviothon kaiju's his body.

IRON MAN: Nice job.

Well, what do you know? A weak spot.

It was awfully nice of you to save the coup de grâce for me.

Unibeam.

REPORTER: So what you're saying is that there are bad and good kaiju?

MAN: That's right. Saw it with my own two eyes.

Those good kaiju you swooped in just in time to save the Avengers.

And then, they laid the smackdown on that big guy kaiju.

You heard it here first, good kaiju exists.

Don't you think saying the kaiju saved us

is over embellishing the story a little bit?

Tony, without the kaiju's help, we would've been history.

Agreed.

Hey, I'm just saying.

I think it would've been nice if they had

mentioned it was a team effort. That's all.

Let's not forget that it was my unibeam that ended it.

Tony, it doesn't matter.

I'm sure Kai and his kaiju are very thankful for everything we did.

By the way, whatever happened to Kai and his kaiju?

Ask him.

He's the one I gave them their own Pacific island.

I'm sure they're living it up right now.

You gave them an island?

Seriously?

Thought it would be nice.

But I doubt you'll be hearing about it in the news anytime soon.

I made sure to find a big one,

someplace private and away from public eye.

Besides, even if people are warming up

to the existence of good kaiju,

the city just doesn't have space for them to live comfortably.

Kaiju Island.

I can't wait to visit there.

I'll go pack now.

Now, hang on.

There's a little something that might change your mind.

As rumor has it,

due to Scragg's bewildering popularity,

Kai has made several new bug kaiju.

(INTERPOSING VOICES)

That's a tight squeeze.

This island's weather is so humid and buggy.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

NARRATOR: You all remember Kamala, don't you?

The young heroine with a heart of gold?

That's right, the magnificent Miss Marvel.

She gained her superpowers after a mysterious mist.

enveloped her one fateful day.

But what happens if a person with a heart full of evil

inhales the same mist?

It's the story of an ultimate adversary,

a classic tale of good versus evil.

Who will prevail?

Next time on Marvel Future Avengers, "The Mystery Mist."

Catch the future, Avengers.
