Episode 1: Abandoned Island

Episode one of Matango (2020) is about how Monarch goes to an island that they lost contact 2 years ago and try to find out why.

Plot (Story)
Logos start to play as titan screeches and roars can be heard in the background. Meanwhile in 2018 and 1 minute after the events of Dagahra (2018) and on an island, alarms were blaring and going off as Monarch scientists were running away from something. One Monarch scientist ran outside and revealed that they are on Outpost in a mushroom infected island. As he ran further in the mushroom forest, he passed a Half Human skeleton on the ground, heard a roar and grabbed a knife from his pockets. [Monarch Scientist] “Stay back! I mean it!” He heard bushes moving all around him and he looked around himself in panic. Something was out there and he feared it. Whatever it is. He was waving his knife around and giant footprints echoed through the forest. He looked up and a giant ape like titan shadow covered him and loomed over him. He ran in fear more in the forest until he reached the shore. This island is crazy! Too crazy! Then he noticed a gray like slob rising from the water and looming over him. He gasped in fear and ran away as the gray slob slither further in the forest. Then he fell down a small hill and lost the knife he had. [Monarch Scientist] “Where is it?! Where is it?!?” He used his hands to move the fallen leaves on the ground to try and find his knife. Then someone handed the knife back. [Monarch Scientist] “Thank you. Wait, what?!” It was a human who seemed to be infected with mushrooms! [Half Infected Mushroom Person] “Please. Help me.” He backed up into a tree or so he thought it was a tree. A hand grabs his shoulder and turns him around. It was a bit bigger and loomed of the Monarch Scientist and roared at him as he screamed in horror. (Matango Roaring)

The screen turns black and the words “2 years later” appear on the screen before we get a view of Professor Tayla sleeping. Then [Ryselle] “Boop.” Little Ryselle touched the professor’s cheek to wake her up. [Velma] “Come on sweetie. Don’t wake up your grandmother.” [Professor Tayla] “It’s fine really.” [Me] “Hey mom.” [Professor Tayla] “Hey.” [Lucas] “Oh. You’re up. I’m in a meeting and wanted you to join when you’re up.” [Professor Tayla] “Fine. Where are they?” [Lucas] “In the other room.” Lucas led his cousin in the other room where Rick and Sam were talking to each other before Lucas and Tayla walked in on them. [Rick] “Hey.” [Sam] “Hey!” [Professor Tayla] “Hey Sam and Rick. How's it been?!” [Sam] “Pretty good Tayla.” [Rick] “Same.” [Professor Tayla] “So what brings you here?” Tayla and Lucas sat down after they closed the door and locked it. [Rick] “We brought you here for this meeting for this.” Rick hands a folder to Tayla and Lucas that said “Monarch Outpost 19” [Lucas] “Where is it?” [Sam] “It’s off somewhere on an island in the South Pacific Ocean.” [Rick] “We think you guys should go there. Check it out and come back. See what’s wrong with it.” [Sam] “Yeah because we lost contact over there 2 years ago. We sent teams and they didn’t come back. We don’t know why?” Lucas and Tayla looked at the island in the pictures. It looked like Skull Island but more island like then skull like. [Professor Tayla] “What were they studying over there?” [Rick] “We can’t tell you.” [Sam] “It’s classified.” [Professor Tayla] “So, you want us to check out on an island that has been abandoned for 2 years and you can’t tell me the reason why or what they were studying over there?” [Rick] “That is correct.” [Lucas] “It looks like the island is surrounded by rocks. Like you can’t escape this place.” [Sam] “Up. The rocks aren’t that big but they do surround the island. The whole island.” [Lucas] “Ok. I need a small team and we’ll be back soon.” [Rick] “Got it. Thank you too.” Rick and Sam shaked Tayla and Lucas’s hands before leaving. [Professor Tayla] “Are you sure about this?” [Lucas] “I’m sure. I know a team. We all know the team.” [Professor Tayla] “Yeah we do. Ok, let’s do this!”

A few hours had passed and we were all on a battleship, heading towards the island. I was there, so was Velma and Ryselle. Professor Tayla has already filled us in and they are in the meeting with the G-Team. Yup, it’s been a while since I heard that name. [Barnes] “Woohoo!” [Diana] “Woah Barnes, calm down.” [Lauren] “Yeah man, this isn’t your first mission.” [Barnes] “I know but still.” [Professor Tayla] “Alright men! Listen up!” [Lucas] “Here’s the plan. Like Skull Island, we fly over the island, the ships will be back within a week and we take notes of the island. What went wrong here, what happened, and how can we contain the threat at hand.” [Diana] “Wait. Threat?” [Lucas] “What?” [Professor Tayla] “What he means is if there is a threat, contain it.” [Lauren] “Ah, gotcha.” [Professor Tayla] “Is that all?” [Lucas] “I think so, yeah.” [Professor Tayla] “Alright men, move out!” [Barnes and Lauren] “Yes ma’am!” They headed out as Diana was behind them. [Lucas] “Are we making the right choice? Or a mistake?” [Professor Tayla] “Why?” [Lucas] “My brother is on that island. If he’s somehow alive..or he died already.” [Professor Tayla] “Hey hey, don’t be like that. I’m sure he found some way to stay alive, you know?” [Lucas] “Yup, I’m sure.” Tayla hugged Lucas as we got the view of the island. [Lucas] “That’s weird.” [Professor Tayla] “What?” [Lucas] “In the photos, the island was surrounded by a storm just like Skull Island but we’re here and there it is. Not surrounded by a storm?! Like, what?” [Professor Tayla] “Maybe it blew away?” [Lucas] “Maybe.” Tayla walked out the room as Lucas stared at the island. Something was over about it and he didn’t like it.

Meanwhile with me, we had to wait a day just in case before we made our way towards the island and I was training with Barnes on how to use a gun until Velma walked in. [Velma] “Hey Barnes. Babe.” [Me] “Hey.” [Barnes] “Babe?” [Velma] “Can you give us the room please?” [Barnes] “Sure.” Barnes left the room. [Me] “What’s up? Where’s Ryselle?” [Velma] “I have Tayla keep an eye on her.” [Me] “Ah, I see.” [Velma] “Also, are you sure about this? Going to this island with our adopted child?” [Me] “Somewhat. Think of it as our vacation day.” [Velma] “Ah, I see. Also, I notice that we haven’t been taking our relationship to the next step.” [Me] “Yeah. I did notice that too.” Velma took off her shirt and revealed her orange bra to get my attention which it did. She walked to me and kissed me deeply as I was on my back and we were still kissing. Meanwhile with Lucas, he was repairing something as nighttime fell and he looked at the island until he heard voices from the past. [Young Lucas Voice] “Brother! No!” Then we get a view of a flashback of 1973 and in Tokyo, You can hear Ghidorah and Icely’s roars and screeching in the background as young Lucas and his brother take cover in the house. Then it got cold and they needed to be warm. However, when Lucas' brother got up, a gang came in and beat the kid hard. All Lucas could do was hide and sit there and watch him get beat up. Why? Why would they do this too?! Why would they beat a kid who was getting a blanket to keep them warm? After Ghidorah and Icely took their fight somewhere else, the gang was gone and Lucas’ brother was just lying there, hurt and not moving. Young Lucas used the blanket to cover his brother as two doctors rushed in to see what’s the problem. Back in the present, [Professor Tayla] “Lucas?” [Lucas] “Uh?” [Professor Tayla] “Are you ok?” [Lucas] “Yeah. I’m fine. Go get some sleep.” [Professor Tayla] “Ok. Good night.” [Lucas] “Good night.” Tayla left as Lucas stared back on the island, thinking about the past.

It was morning and everyone just woke up. I was eating breakfast with Velma, Ryselle, Tayla, and Lucas. The G-Team or Diana, Barnes, and Lauren were all eating together and talking about stuff. Then, Lucas sat outside again and I walked to him. [Me] “Hey.” [Lucas] “Oh hey.” [Me] “What ever happened to The Egg?” [Lucas] “Uh? Oh, that? We moved it to a secure location where it would be safe and a place Diego doesn’t know about.” [Me] “Ah, I see.” [Lucas] “Yup.” [Me] “Is there something wrong with you? Or if something bothering you?” [Lucas] “What? No! I'm fine, man. Really! Thanks. You should worry about your gf and child.” We both looked back and noticed Ryselle and Velma playing together like friends. [Me] “She won’t be my gf soon.” [Lucas] “Why?” [Me] “Because one day-” I showed him a small box and he opened it. [Me] “I’m going to ask her to marry me.” It was a ring with a pretty diamond in the middle. [Lucas] “Wow man. That’s awesome!” [Me] “Thanks. I just don’t know when though.” [Lucas] “You’ll figure it out. You got to figure out the right time at the right place. Got it?” [Me] “Got it man.” He gave the small box back and I put it in my pocket. Then a few minutes later, we were ready. Everyone got in the ospreys and helicopters and took off! Some of us would look out the window and see the island itself. Some landed and began to take notes on the island. Lucas and Tayla were on the ground as we were with the G-Team until it happened. [Monarch Pilot] “Watch out!” A giant hand came out of nowhere and grabbed the helicopter in middle air as whatever it was made it crashed into a mountain. We were shocked from what we saw. Everyone was panicking and shocked to see who caused it. It rose up as it covered the sun shining on it some. It looked like Kong! It had a giant mushroom on one arm and it was more gray in fur color. It wasn’t Kong, It was Neo Kong!!! It also had a Manda Skeleton on it’s other arm as he punched his chest and roared at us. (Neo Kong roaring) The End. Next episode is Matango (2020) S1 Ep2: Stuck. Coming Soon.
