The City of New York, often called New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2015 population of 8,550,405 distributed over a land area of about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York City is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the state of New York, the city is the centre of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. A global power city, New York City exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important centre for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world.

Today was one of the wet days in the big city. The rain poured down across Manhattan, the streets all lined with cars, buses, trucks, and taxis, whilst people were bustling back and forth down footpaths, heading to and from work, and trying to make the best out of the New York weather.

At the restaurant 'Gabriel Kreuther', a group of friends were sitting around a table, talking about what they were planning for the weekend, despite the weather. They didn't mind it, since it adds a level of something different.

The first person of the group is a Caucasian in her late 20's with gentle fair skin, scarlet red hair reaching down to her backside, but is currently tied today in a French braid, and yellow eyes. She has a rounded hourglass figure with large breasts, maybe at CC Cup size. She is wearing a sleeveless red dress that reached down to the middle of her thighs, whilst revealing some of her cleavage, a small necklace, blue flower earrings on her ears, a set of gold bracelets, and she also has on black slip-on shoes. This woman is Lorraine Jane.

The second person at the table is a 17yr old girl with shoulder length flowing blonde hair, cream white skin, along with a kind set of blue eyes. The face is quite slim and is angelic, adding to its cute factor. Her body is slim and slender, while also having gentle curves around the hips. She has an hourglass body shape with C Cup breasts, a 25inch waist and 35inch hips. She is wearing a light blue knee-length short-sleeved collared dress with a white pinafore apron, frilly white knee-length pantalettes, white stockings, two frilly white petticoats, black Mary Jane shoes, and a black bow tied in her hair. She's is dressed up as Alice from 'Alice In Wonderland'. She is Hannah York.

The third person is a young girl in her late teens, with greyish-silver dyed hair, coffee white skin, her left eye in the colour of blue and the right eye being hot pink. She has a slender body shape, which seems to be reasonable for her form. She is wearing a white sleeveless shirt which reveals her slim abdomen, and leaving her shoulders bare, also fingerless gloves reaching to the middle of her upper arms, a pair of blue short-shorts, two rings on her right upper leg, while two other rings are at her feet, the two on both legs, therefore having four rings on the right leg, while two are on her left, and hot pink sneakers. She also has some odd bronze belt on her forehead, which has a Japanese symbol on it. This is Zoe May.

The fourth member is a Caucasian male at 19 years old. He had fire coloured red hair in a spiky fashion, green-blue eyes, and always wears a toothy grin on his chiseled and handsome face. He has a tone body figure, accompanied with lean muscles, along with large and shaped abs that a man would die for. He is  wearing a darker than night black shirt with a bright white skull on the chest, blue denim jeans with a pair of black biker boots on, and has a black scarf with a red flame logo on the ends, and it also has a scaly dragon design to it. This boy's name is Rick Jones.

"The weather's not gonna be good for the rest of the week." Zoe sighed, whilst having some hash browns and bacon for breakfast.

"Tell that to Little Miss Blondie, coming in at 2 o' clock." Lorraine commented, pointing to someone now walking up to them.

At that moment, someone walked up in a frustrated mode. The person is a Caucasian female at 20 years of age, with a fair skin tone, which oddly looks white, a set of bright blue eyes, and she has long, messy blonde hair, reaching down to the bottom of her shoulders. She has a slightly buxom body shape, a skinny waist, and a firm hourglass shape. She is wearing a silver/grey vest over a black, low-cut crop top. The vest had puffy cap sleeves with silver cuffs. On the sides of the cuffs are two small black buttons. She also has a light brown scarf around her neck. She has a black belt with a buckle. She has black short-shorts underneath her belt, reaching down to the middle of her thighs, resembling a pleated skirt in the back, and she has a pair of knee-high black boots. This young woman is Jenny Blake.

"My life sucks." Jenny muttered, sitting down next to Zoe and Rick, whilst Hannah and Lorraine sat opposite of them.

"Yeah. I know." Hannah agreed, as Jenny took off her jacket, revealing her crop top, and placed her jacket down on the table. "I heard about it."

"Rumours race through New York City. That's a fact." Rick added.

"I can't believe that midget tried to put the moves on me." Jenny shuddered at the thought. "Ew. No wonder he's not even married in the first place."

Jenny was referring to her former boss, Joss Caiman from WIDF News. She used to work there when she found the job there, but when Caiman wished to take her home to talk about a position on the front line of news, but when things went to a completely different direction, she decided enough was enough, and told Caiman that she is not his playtoy and body pillow. Then, she was fired, and she replied 'Fine by me. At least I'm far away from you!'

"That man is a scumbag." Lorraine huffed. "In his mind and opinion, he's just think of you as nothing but a blow-up toy with large bosom boobs and a slightly big butt."

"Talk about a filthy image." Rick commented.

"Ugh. I hate that guy." Jenny grumbled, and held her upper arms, whilst crossing her arms over her chest. Then, she looked over to the TV built into the wall, and her eyes widened. "No way..."

She stood up and walked over to the TV. The TV was showing a news report about something going on in Panama, whilst showing Braedey with his folks, along with Susan, and General Monger, and with two other folks she's not seen before.

"It's Braedey." Jenny spoke, sounding like she was seeing love at first sight or seeing an old friend.

"Who's Braedey?" Rick asked.

"He was my secret crush from school." Jenny looked to the brunette on screen, and sighed dreamily. "Wow. He's changed so much since I've seen him."

Over by the docks of Manhattan, many men and women were moving tonnes upon tonnes of fish into markets, onto waiting trucks, and weighing how heavy the amount of fish they have. It was loud and bustling with the sounds of machines running and people yelling out commands and orders, whilst also having some conversations as best they can, whilst they talked against the noise of the rain and the noise of the docks.

Then, a sound came which silenced everyone.

A loud guttural growl echoed throughout the bay, and shook the buildings enough for everyone to feel the vibrations through the floor. They all looked over in the direction of the water, and not a single person dared to speak a single word. Everyone wanted to know what made that sound, and everyone wanted to see it. The thought was exciting to the children, who pressed themselves up against the glass window of the bus to get a better view outside.

Suddenly, a seagull smacked into one of the parked truck's windows, cracking it, and causing the driver inside to jump back in surprise. Then, hundreds of birds soon took wing and began flying over the docks and away from the source of the sound as fast as possible. They headed inland, telling many that the source of the sound had come from the sea. The sound they heard had echoed and reverberated so much, they didn't know where it had come from, but now they knew. Something was approaching from the sea.

Over by the main highways that were nearby the docks, something rose up from the sea nearby. It was something larger than anyone could believe. It seemed to be 60 metres tall, and 100 metres long from front to back. It seemed to be very dark blue on the top of the body, to the point of looking black during, a silvery light-blue colour on the sides of the body, and tan on the underside, as if to blend in with an urban environment. It possessed what could only be described as having Tyrannosaurus-like feet, having three toes tipped with sharp claws, and two long powerful legs that matched a T-Rex's design.

Everyone began to run away, as whatever this thing is began to rampage through the dock. It's large head reared down, grabbed a parked truck full of fish, then began to shake it around, trying to claim the product that was inside, but to no avail. So, it crushed it in its huge jaws, then dropped it, letting it crash down to the ground with a thud, as it began to head deeper into the Big Apple.

Back at the 'Gabriel Kreuther', Jenny was talking to Lorraine, Zoe, Rick, and Hannah about her school crush, whilst Hannah and Rick were holding one another, since they both were a couple.

"So, who was this mysterious Romeo that ran away?" Lorraine asked.

"Braedey Martin." Jenny replied.

"He sounds like an okay fella to me." Rick spoke up. "Why didn't you go with a different Braedy?"

"Not that kind. His name is spelt as 'B-R-A-E-D-E-Y'." Jenny explained. "I liked his name, and he told me he got it from his mother and father."

"So, how long did you guys go out for?" Zoe asked.

"About 6 to 7 months before he had to move to another school the next years." Jenny replied.

"So, why did he have to leave?" Hannah asked her.

"I'm not sure why." Jenny sighed. "All I got from the teachers is that he doesn't deserve to stay in the school for the rest of the next few years."

Just then, the building began to shake suddenly. Then, it happened again, and again. Suddenly, something walked by with a large grumble and crash, knocking down a number of cars nearby, and nearly sent a car flying through the front windows of the restaurant.

Rick looked to the street, and sprinted out of the restaurant, only to see something large turn around the nearby intersection, and disappear down there, accompanied by a loud roaring sound, and the sound of thundering footsteps.

"What in the world was that thing?" Rick spoke out in shock.
