My Own Comic Universe

So since the fall of 2014 I've been working on the start of my own comic universe. This is a rough draft of some of the stuff thats gonna be in it. This is now means a finished story by anymeans. One day when I have it finished I hope to get it published.

The 8th Continent: Atlantis

Created By J. W. LaPierre

The Back Story-

In the year 1997 an earthquake that exceeded well over 10 magnitude shook the world and returned what was thought lost to all. The lost continent of Atlantis rose from the depths of the pacific ocean 20 miles north of the American state of Hawaii. At first many were in disbelief that the continent had risen but many became scared when it was not just the continent that rose from the ocean. Kaiju (or strange beasts dubbed by the Japanese), that were once trapped by Atlantis's collapse back in the early 1200s are back. To the Atlanteans they kaiju were considered “Titans”. By 2004 Japan and the U.S. had teamed together and used their skills in science and in the military to combat the kaiju they created superhumans using a new miracle drug called Umarekawa~tsu. The drug had been in development since the discovery of a new type of plant called Mossuri. The superhumans that were created from this new miracle drug were known as the M-Generation. By 2007, only ten years later the M-Generation were able to contain the kaiju to an island called Rengoku. So when the kaiju were contained the M-Generation were forced to do both governments dirty work. When Japan realized they finally had a military power for the first time since WW2 they forcefully took control over the chain of islands. The main island of Atlantis was the first to fall to Japan. The United States told Japan to take their military bases of the island because the U.N. declared it a scientific reserve. Soon the U.S. was given military permission to force the Japanese off the island. The only exception was no bombs or nukes so the island wouldn't get too destroyed thus losing one of the worlds greatest mysteries. Soon the island became bathed in blood when both sides of M-Generations fought. When war officially started both sides were already dropping bombs and napalm on the island hoping to kill the other side. With the smoke cleared after 8 long years of fighting the Japanese and Americans realized that the war was futile. Soon after the Japanese surrendered and pulled out off the larger islands.The Japanese were allowed control over the outside ring of islands. In a sign of peace the Japanese allowed America to keep control over their state of Hawaii along with a new island that was the closest to Hawaii. By the year 2020 life got back to normal for the most part except for the random chimera attacks on the smaller islands. Most M-Generation soldiers were allowed their freedom and they went to their past lives. An exM-Generation by the name of Koji Morita formed a group called The Hunters, and is paid by both governments to track down and kill the rest of the chimerans.

Locations-

-The 8th continent is a newly formed chain of islands between the United States and Japan. The chain has 10 large main islands with the largest being Atlantis. Each of the islands surrounds the main island of Atlantis. There are a dozen of smaller islands many are only inhabited by chimera and animals. Most of the islands are tropical except the northern islands which have more of seasonal weather. This new "continent" is located about 20 miles above Hawaii. This new continent is controlled by both Japan and America.

-Atlantis is the largest of the islands. It is located at the center of the chain of islands. Scientist are studying the island and its effects on the world. The island is as large as New York state. Within its ancient ruins lies Spirit Cave. The plant (Mossuri) that helped create the miracle drug, Umarekawa~tsu was discovered there. Atlantis also acts as a sanctuary for the Standard Chimera. The Higgs Observatory Labs was located on this island until it was raided by Japan prior to the war.

-Islands of Atlantis is the name of the chain of islands unowned by any country with the exception of Rengoku. The three islands that make up this chain are Atlantis, Island of Shi, and Rengoku. Many locations such as Spirit Cave and the Higgs Observatory Labs.

-Insulae Autem Fortitudine (roughly translates to islands of strength in Latin) is name of the island chain in which the 51st state of the United States of America. This chain is located on the eastern side of Atlantis. The United States owns this chain of islands. This chain is made of four larger islands and several smaller islands.

-Chie Airanzu Chen (roughly translates to wisdom island chain in Japanese) is the name of the chain of islands owned by Japan. Its home to Ryu Senshi Shima, Japan’s newest territory. Its located on the western side of Atlantis. Just like with America, Japan owns four larger islands and several smaller islands.

-The Higgs Observatory Labs was the laboratory located on the main island of Atlantis. The Mossuri plant was being researched here to be used in the creation of the Umarekawa~tsu. The Branna family were the top researchers at the lab and were the ones who created the serum. The lab was raided in late 2007. Luckily most of its research was left behind, but many of its scientists were slaughtered. The lab was reopened and the research is being continued by billionaire researcher Dakota Holmes. When he bought the Labs he had a memorial put for the Branna family.

-Isla de Holmes is the private home of billionaire Dakota Holmes. He bought the island when he started working at the Higgs Observatory Labs. He throws lavish parties that can last up to days. He lives in a 50 room mansion thats in the center of the island. When Dakota bought the island from the United States it technically became its own country, but he allows it to be a U. S. territory. Mr. Holmes bought the United States for $10 million.

-Spirit Cave is a labyrinth of underground tunnels that connect to each island. Not much is known about the cave except for the fact an obelisk is set with in the deepest part of the cave. Rumors and legends speak of how there are more than one ancient relics hidden within the labyrinth.

-Rengoku Island (translate to purgatory) is a cross government controlled island containing the kaiju keeping them from destroying the Pacific rim. This island is the second largest island from the chain and house three of the four elemental kaiju. Near the center of the island is a volcano about the size of Mt. Saint Helens. The island is heavily fortified with a fleet of aircraft carriers along with a fleet of battleships patrolling the border of the island.

-Island of Shi (translates to death) This island is the home of the bloodiest battle of the great Japan-American war. Close to a million M-Generation soldiers had lost their lives on that island. The battle lasted 1 1/2 months. The island features the worlds largest memorial site since the 9/11 memorial in New York City. The memorial is one of the only mark of modern civilization on the island.

-Ryu Senshi Shima (translates to dragon warrior island) its the 3rd largest of the 8th Continent islands and home of its capital Sanshiti. The island was named this after a squad of Japanese elite M-Generation soldiers took down the last of the dragon chimeras, or so they thought. This is one of the few islands Japan owns.

-Sanshiti (translates to sun city) Is the capital of Japan’s section of The 8th Continent home to 900,000 people. Sanshiti is the most technologically advanced city in the world. This city was established shortly after the wars end in 2015. This city was formed around a government funded science division that were working on ways to advance the Umarekawa~tsu serum.

-Incepta Nova (roughly translate to new beginning in Latin) The newest state for the United States making it the 51st state. Incepta Nova is the closest island to Hawaii. This is one of the smaller islands only being as big Delaware. There are only about ten towns and cities on the island along with a small amount of villages.

-New Boston is the capital of Incepta Nova. Its population is a little over 500,000. The city combines the ruins of the once thriving civilization with the modern tech of the new world. Like most cities on the island it was originally a military base.

-Outpost 15 is a small outpost town outside of New Boston. This was a militarized zone where M-Generation soldiers trained and lived. Many exM-Generation soldiers live there with their families. The town has a population of about 15,000. this is the second smallest town on Incepta Nova.

-Port City has the largest harbor on the island. The city is home to about 200,000 people. Like the New York City harbor this is one of the best natural harbors in the world. Port City is at the southern tip of the island.

-New Dublin is the second largest city on Incepta Nova. The population is around 350,000 people. This was a military base formed city. When the war ended the base had become the homes of many military families. Unlike New Boston, this city was not built around the ruins of an ancient city. The city was formed by an Irish general named Josh Hale.

-Hawaii is the 50th state of the U.S.A. Many of its cities were destroyed when the kaiju rose from beneath the ocean. Honolulu became America’s base of operations during the Great America-Japan War. This was one of the many tragedies to happen after the discovery of The 8th Continent.

The Kaiju-

There are 4 kaiju that escaped their prisons when Atlantis rose from the depths of the pacific ocean. The four were known as the "Elementals" because it kaiju had powers that went with the four elements. These "Elementals" were known as "Titans" to the Atlanteans. The four kaiju kept the world in balance. During the Great Divide of Atlantis the Kaiju were taking control of and used against the two factions of Atlantis.

The smaller kaiju are known as "Chimera" . They act as a parasite to the elementals and can be seen either flying around them or resting on them. There are only two known types the standard and the dragon. They both roam the 22 islands. There have been signs of a new species of chimera roaming but they have not yet been seen by man.

The Elementals-

-Rogadon-

Height- 95ft

Length- 130 ft

Weight- 10,000lbs

Wingspan- 250ft

Rogadon is the air elemental. This kaiju has the ability to create hurricane force winds along with the flight speed of mach 30. Its is the weakest of the four elementals. Rogadon has 6 limbs. Four of its limbs are arms, two of them are winged arms while the other two are shorter but have claws sharp enough to pierce the flesh of the other kaiju. The other two limbs are its legs which allows it to jump high in the air. It was first reported over Australia before making landfall in the Philippines. Rogadon is a very aggressive kaiju, reports tell of how it would dive bomb onto the other elements and claw at them but take off before the others could get an attack in.This was the first kaiju to be captured and imprisoned on Regoku. The Staff of Atlantis is said to be able to control the kaiju. Rogadon’s natural enemy is Anghirrus, the earth elemental kaiju.

-Konjira-

Height- 150ft

Length- 300 ft

Weight- 35,000lbs

Konjira is the fire elemental. This is the strongest of the four kaiju. It has the ability to breath a beam of plasma hot enough to melt anything it comes in contact with. Its also has a tail that can create a 5 magnitude earthquake when it strikes the ground. Konjira also has an impenetrable hide. Japan reported that Konjira made landfall in Tokyo Bay and made the harbor its home until the kaiju task force was able to get it to Rengoku. Konjira can be controlled by the Gauntlet of Power. Draka used him to fight against his brother. He is natural enemies of the water elemental kaiju N’Dorma.

-N'Dorma-

Height- 80ft

Length- 500ft

Weight- 50,000lbs

N'Dorma is the water elemental. This kaiju can go up to 100 years without surfacing for air. It has enough jaw strength to snap Konjira's arm without breaking its teeth. It has 4 stumpy legs that help it walk on land and swim faster than any submarine known to man. N'Dorma can survive in the deepest part of the oceans and that is why its not kept with the other three kaiju on Rengoku due to the fact the scientist cannot find it. Rumors come up saying that N'Dorma is hidden within the Mariana Trench. Reports from Russia and South Korea say they have lost some of their nuclear subs when doing patrols near any of the trenches. This info helps scientists believe that N'Dorma keeps to the lowest points of the ocean. N’Dorma can be controlled by the Staff of Atlantis which was used by King Chaka during the Great Divide. N’Dorma is the natural enemy of the fire elemental kaiju Konjira.

-Anghirrus-

Height- 135 ft

Length- 200 ft

Weight- 25,000lbs

Anghirrus is the earth elemental. This kaiju can create earthquakes stronger than Konjira can. It is the most vicious out of the four. It will use its surroundings as weapons. Anghirrus has a hard shell back but when its weakened it will launch spikes out its back as a last defence. Scientist have seen it crushing and killing the chimera for what could tell as "fun". This elemental is believed to have a “rage” mode, meaning that its strength increases 10x. None of the other kaiju dare cross even, Konjira who is the strongest. Anghirrus made landfall on Atlantis around the time the islands rose from beneath the sea. This kaiju was the hardest to get to Rengoku. Many of the M-Generation soldiers were killed when the kaiju entered its “rage” mode. The soldiers were trying to subdue the creature for transport making it the most deadly out of the four elementals. The Gauntlet of Power is said to be able to control Anghirrus. Draka used Anghirrus to help him fight his brother. Anghirrus’ natural enemy is the air elemental kaiju Rogadon.

The Chimeras-

-The Standard Chimera-

Height- 4ft (when standing on hind legs 10ft)

Length- 12ft

Weight- 900lbs

These chimera are the ones that most people see on a daily basis. The chimera roam the islands hunting like a normal predator and avoid their cousin species, the Dragon Chimera.They look as if a mad scientist had mixed the DNA of a lion and a bearded dragon. These chimera are more timid and human friendly than their relatives the Dragon chimeras.

-The Dragon Chimera-

Height- 5ft (when standing on hind legs 12ft)

Length- 15ft

Weight- 1,100lbs

These are the most dangerous of all the chimeras. They have been seen slaughtering the "standard" chimera. The Dragon Chimera get their name for looking like a hybrid between a lion and a Japanese dragon. Dragon Chimera have razor sharp talons and fangs sharp enough to pierce most metals. They were thought to be extinct until a cave was reopened on Rengoku by a fight between Rogadon and Konjira.

-The Unknown Chimera-

Height- ?

Length- ?

Weight -?

This “Unknown” Chimera is known more as a fable than it is fact. Some have reported that they have wings and double the size of the Dragon Chimeras. Other locals have said to have seen them flying in the night sky over the main island of Atlantis. There is not much scientific proof to know if they exist or not except for some skeletal remains of an unidentified tail. Supposedly the Unknown Chimera went extinct during the Great Divide. In ancient text it says that Draka, brother of King Chaka used the Gauntlet of Power to combine the two chimeras to make a deadlier chimera. When exploring the ruins on some of the outer islands, Dr. Adams found ancient writings discussing the creation of these Chimeras.

The Chimeran Onslaught-

After an elite squad of Japanese M-Generation soldiers took out what was thought to be the last of the Dragon Chimera on Ryu Senshi Shima turned out to be just the beginning. On Rengoku, scientist evacuated when a fight between Rogadon and Konjira became too dangerous for them to stay. After the kaiju went their separate there was a new part of Spirit Cave that was opened releasing a hoard of 1,000,000 Dragon Chimeras back into the word. Scientists believe that they were able to survive for so long without fresh air was due to small amounts of radiation from the volcano. Teams like "The Hunters" lead by Koji Morita are tasked by both the United States and Japanese governments to eliminate the threats.

The Ancient Tale of Atlantis-

The ancient land known as Atlantis is located 20 miles above the state of Hawaii. The Atlanteans were a superior race of beings, especially for their time. Many modern day government systems were based off of their type of government. They were the ones to start the monarch system . Their kings were elected by a trial of combat.This happened every ten years. The Atlanteans had it this way so kings would not get automatically challenged at the start of their rein. If they were challenged the king had to accept the challenge, he could not decline. If the king was to lose by either injury or death the challenger would become king. This was a well respected way to become king. Atlantis was divided into two factions due to how big their population was getting. The two factions worked together at first but each slowly started to separate from each other. Their medicine men were the ones who discovered the mystical arts of magic. With the discovery of magic many were scared, many were amazed with its power. With this new found power they were able to create many powerful relics. They were able to create the first clean energy that they harvested from obelisk.

The Relics of the Ancient Ones-

There are 6 relics linked to the ancient Atlanteans. The names of the the relics have been written about but never seen by the people of our times. Many expeditions are held to find them but they usually come back with more questions than answers, some don't even come back at all. Scientist believe each holds a powerful energy within. Some say that some of the could cure the side affects to the Umarekawa~tsu serum.

-Obelisk is the first of the six relics that was known to modern times. The ancient Atlanteans created it to use as a power source. It was made with their dark arts. Scientist of our times believe it could help with the creation of the Umarekawa~tsu because it emits a new form of radiation. It was made with the rarest metal on earth, the newly discovered Unibrium.

-Staff of Atlantis was what the Atlanteans used to rule their land. Like the Gauntlet of Power who ever had it had immeasurable power. The staff also controlled the chimeras. The staff could also call upon the help of the water elemental kaiju N’Dorma and the air elemental kaiju Rogadon.

-Orb of Time was also created using dark magic. It allowed the Atlanteans to look into any place in time but only see brief visions of what's to come. They used it to predict future of their race which led to the great divide.

-Gauntlet of Power was another powerful relic worn by kings. Like the Staff of Atlantis it also allows its wearer to control species of unknown chimera. The abuse of power from this device also forged the path to the great divide. the Gauntlet could be used to call upon the help of the fire elemental Konjira and the earth elemental Anghirrus.

-Book of Ancient Wisdom was the Atlanteans most prized relic. The book held the entire history of the world and it was what made the Atlanteans so advanced for their time. The book was not created by them but instead their mystical chinese allies (they are the reason the Atlanteans use magic). Even to this day the book continues to keep records of everything that happens.

-Ring of Healing gave the power to heal any wound or sickness. The ring was passed down by each generation of medicine men of Atlantis. During the great divide the ring was replicated many times but each failed in some way.

The Great Divide-

The Great Divide refers to when the ancient Atlanteans were torn into two factions. This was due to the creation of the Staff of Atlantis and the Gauntlet of Power. The ruler of Atlantis, King Chaka was overthrown by his brother Draka. Draka had obtained the Gauntlet of Power and lead a group of Atlantis extremist to overthrow his brother who had the Staff of Atlantis. This group was the second faction of Atlantis but they grew uneasy due to the gap forming between the two factions. King Chaka who was loved by many of the Atlanteans was able to fend off his brothers attack thanks to the elite guard and the prophets of the medicine men. Soon a great war broke out between the two factions. When the war became too deadly King Chaka had no choice but to sink the chain of islands. After he had killed his brother Draka he used both the staff and gauntlet to lock the four kaiju elementals under the main island of Atlantis along with the chimera. The citizens of both factions were sacrificed in order to save The 8th Continent from ultimate destruction. King Chaka sunk the continent to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to keep the rest of the world safe from the dangers of ultimate power.

The Great Japan-America War (2007-2015)-

The war started to develop in late 2007 after the Elementals were locked away on Rengoku. Soon Japan started forming military bases on Ryu Senshi Shima. A group of elite M-Generation soldiers were tasked with eliminating the population of Dragon Chimera. When America heard this on the news people were outraged. Japan continued to place military bases on the chain of islands. The first island that Japan took full control over was the main island of Atlantis. The United Nation was in disbelief that Japan was so arrogant to the scientific aspect of the islands. They continued to tell Japan to remove they bases of the islands when they didn't the U.N. gave America the right to use military force to get the Japanese of the islands. The first battle was on the main island of Atlantis. The U.S. was able to get them off within a year, if only that was how the could go. By mid 2009, a year and a half into the war there were setbacks. Both countries were running short on funding and attacks by chimeras were causing setbacks. Around the start of 2011 the bloodiest battle happened. The battle of the Island of Shi was deadliest battle in the war. Close to 1 million M-Generation soldiers laid down their lives for the war. This was a turning point in the war. Many citizens were protesting the war. In 2013 the second bloodiest battle was out sea. Considered to be the second a Battle of Midway. This battle had more ships sunk than any other battle. By the end of 2014 the war had slowed down to a crawl. Both the U.S. and Japan were realizing their war was futile. Japan officially surrendered in November of 2014. The start of 2015 the war had ended but not without its loses. 5.7 million M-Generation soldiers were either killed in action or extremely wounded.

The M-Generation-

This was a program that the Japanese and American military used to fight the kaiju. The program was started in early 2004. The program was created by the brightest minds of both Japan and America. People who had lost limbs in previous wars or were new recruits right out of boot camp along with any veteran looking for more action were accepted into it's trials. But the ones who joined were never told of the 12 hour long genetic mutation surgery where only 1 out of 4 lived. The surgeons used a new miracle drug that was discovered on Atlantis. The new miracle was called Umarekawa~tsu meaning reborn in Japanese.The ones who survived all had advances reflexes, senses, and strength. Many of the disabled soldiers who joined had mechanical limbs placed where they hand lost them. Soon when their training was done many had become killing machines. With the new group of soldiers they were able to contain the monsters in only three years. One thing the surgeons never told the government was that there was a side effect. When the war was over many of the soldiers returned home but some were forced to continue to do their government's dirty work in off the books black ops missions. After the war was over some of the soldiers were losing their minds thanks to how unstable some of the Umarekawa~tsu serums were. The ones who started to lose their minds were considered rogue agents by their government. Some of the more dangerous rogue agents were assassinated by other M-Generation soldiers who still had a grip on reality.

Umarekawa~tsu-

Umarekawa~tsu means reborn in Japanese. This is a drug that was discovered in the the ruins of The 8th Continent. The drug was completed after 4 short years of development. After its 4 years of development, the governments started doing human trials and they were done by early 2004. It was created with some of the islands vegetation that was located deep within the islands. The plant was called Mossuri. When it was exposed to gamma radiation, it caused a reaction which activated its ability to strengthen anyone who uses it. When injected into the bloodstream of a human it will increase their strength, senses, and reflexes by 5 times that of an average person. The drug can give some of its users superhuman powers (stronger than the typical M-Generation soldiers). There is a problem that comes with taking the drug. It will make any host become insane. This process does take longer for some others were showing signs during the war. Scientist are trying to find cure for this but are unsuccessful. They believe that the obelisk may hold the answer to finding the cure. The governments deem the exM-Generation soldiers who have become insane, rogue agents. Some of these soldiers act as terrorist and attack the governments because they blame them for whats happened.

The Conquering Of Atlantis-

In late 1998 after the aftershocks had pasted, scientists from around the world were allowed to study the islands. Atlantis was the last of the islands to be studied due to how large it was. On the smaller islands towns were being formed, many had no names but some had close to 500 people living in them. By the time they got to Atlantis, the miracle drug, Umarekawa~tsu was being finished. Only five short years later the kaiju were locked away and the Japanese started their raids on the islands. They first settled on Ryu Senshi Shima then they moved on to Atlantis. The Japanese took the island by force and this was one of the many catalyst to spark The Great Japan-American war. Many scientist were slaughtered on this island.

The Branna Report-

This report was filed by Capt. Stark on September 5, 2007.

On August 5, 2007 head biochemists Abigail and Thomas Branna were killed during a Japanese raid on Atlantis. I failed my mission in keeping the family protected and alive. My ship was held in the harbor due to the abundance of Japanese M-Generation soldiers in the area. I ended up commandeering a small fish boat and drove it to the island.

When I got to the Higgs Observatory and Lab on Atlantis there was nothing but bodies burning or stacked up in piles. I became trapped in a firefight shortly after showing up. When the smoke clear they were gone as if called back to their base. I went searching for the Brannas' and all I found was their daughter Winry crying over the two bodies.

Abigail had been shot four times in the back while Thomas had been shot in the head. I tried my best to get Winry away from the carnage but she didn't budge. Delta Team showed up about ten minutes later after securing the perimeter. After I made sure Winry was safe with I had her taken to the makeshift medical tent to be examined.

The labs were near perfect condition except for some smashed beakers and loose papers on the floor. Abigail and Thomas were studying the Mossuri plant and looking for ways to enhance the Umarekawa~tsu serum. Luckily their work was intact and I was able to transfer it back to the mainland.
