San Francisco, 2014

In the skies above San Francisco, a group of soldiers were seen diving down into the city with flares streaming from the outside of their boots. However, in the city, it was absolute pandemonium in there, buildings were toppled over and police officers were seen evacuating the citizens from the city. But, in one area of the demolished city, a father was seen screaming for his missing son while his wife and daughter were behind him.

"Lucas! Lucas!" The father screamed for his son while walking through building debris and shining his flashlight everywhere, "Lucas! Lucas!" The father screamed with a concerned expression.

Suddenly, a noise was heard above them. The father and wife looked above them and saw a giant green bug with orange dear horns, a green unicorn horn, dark purple shelled wings, a dark green shelled torso, four bright green hooves, and a long insect winged mane walking through a skyscraper, toppling it over in the process. It then let out a roar which shocked the mother.

Five years later

In a house bedroom, a mother named Jessica Richard who is an Equinarch biologist was seen sitting on her bed with a disconsolate expression after the loss of their son Lucas Richard, she and her husband Elliot Richard have split up after the ordeal leaving their daughter Lily under the care of Jessica which made things even more worse for the family.

"Why did this have to happen?" Jessica asked in a dejected tone.

The biologist looked to her left to where her family photo was placed on a table. Then, she began to looked at the picture of her son Elliot sitting next to his little sister. Then, Jessica's radio began to broadcast something.

"Thousands of citizens gathered in the Bay Area last night to honor the victims of the 2014 attack." A man said through the radio.

In the living room, a TV on the wall was turned on and a news channel was seen displaying a video of angry protestors protesting in the United States capital Washington DC holding up signs that says 'Kill the Equestrians', 'Equestrians are monsters', 'Destroy all Equestrians!' while marching towards a government building.

"Part of a wave of memorials and protests, demanding that the secretive monster-hunting coalition known as 'Equinarch to be held accountable for the incident-"

The news channels was then switched to a another news channel, and the TV now displayed an image of dead fishes on a boat.

"The recent spike in mass deaths of sea creatures in the world's oceans could be caused by efforts to locate and track the Equestrian Thorax who hasn't been seen in five years." A woman on the TV said as an image of Thorax swimming in the ocean was shown on TV.

"High ranking officials in the mysterious Equinarch organization will face another intense grilling as the government continues to push for extermination of the Equestrians." Another woman of another new channel said. "Rumors persist that Equinarch may be hiding even more monsters discovered since the attacks of 2014. A historic tragedy that changed the world, as we know it forever. The day the world discovered that monsters are real." The woman finished.

Jessica immediately turned off the TV after hearing those preposterous statements about the organization that she is working for, she and Equinarch are trying to make the world a better place. Then, the biologist walked up to her bed where a briefcase containing a device was on a bed. Once she got to it, she closed the briefcase and picked it up with her right hand, after that, she turned around and started to walk out of her bedroom.

In the kitchen of the house, a teenage girl named Lily Richard was seen looking at some messages on her computer's email while listening to music with her airpods. She scrolled down to the newest message sent to her by her father, she clicked on it and saw an image of a leopard devouring a goat. The message also read:

'Hey Lily, haven't heard from you guys in a few months. Hope you're having fun :)
Here are a few pictures of the leopard I've been studying, isn't it cute?'

Lily scrolled down to the bottom of the message and saw a picture of her and her father fishing in the lake, the nostalgia has made her smile warmly.

Lily was going to type back to her father about the situation of her mother due to her always being very depressed, but, she wasn't able to click on the send button when the fire alarm started to beep. Lily turned around and saw the frying pan releasing smoke which made her eyes widen.

"Oh no!" Lily exclaimed as she stood up from her chair, taking off her airpods in the process. Then, she ran up to the kitchen stove. "Crap! Crap! Crap!" She exclaimed.

Once she got to it, she grabbed a pair tongs and used them to pick up a piece of bacon on the dying pan but, when she picked it up from the pan, it was burnt which made her frown in response.

"Great."

"Lily?"

When Lily heard her mother, her eyes widened in horror. But, she snapped out of it and started to act natural but, it was no use.

"Good morning mom!" Lily yelled removing the frying pan from the stove.

Jessica ran up to the stove and turned the rotary switch to the left, turning the flame off in the process, while her daughter successfully placed the sweltering crying pan into the sink, cooling it with cold water from the faucet in the process. After that, Jessica tried to shut the fire alarm off by fanning the smoke away with a tea towel but, it did not work, so, she reached up to the alarm and pressed the button, then, the alarm was turned off.

"I made us some breakfast." Lily told her with an anxious chuckle. "It's a combination of scrambled eggs, toast, and what was once bacon." She finished.

Jessica then pressed a press handle of a toaster and two toasted breads jumped out of the toaster loader which the biologist took and placed them on plates.

"And which do you recommend?" Jessica asked her daughter with a chuckle.

"The toast and eggs." Lily replied.

After that, Lily turned around to her laptop and closed it, putting the computer in sleep mode in the process.

"Coffee?" Lily asked grabbing a coffee kettle and bringing it over the the counter. Then, she began to pour them into the mugs. But, Jessica wanted to find out what her daughter was researching on her laptop.

"What were you working Lily?"

"Um... I was looking at breakfast recipes." She lied.

Jessica let out a smile while sipping on her coffee. A brief second later, she lowered the mug from her mouth.

"For toasts?"

When Lily noticed that she couldn't lie to her mother anymore, she turned around to face her, letting out a defeated sigh in the process.

"Dad's been emailing me." She confessed, which made her mother sigh slightly "He is researching on his leopard right now in a forest, and he looks good." She told her as she grabbed her breakfast plate.

"Have you responded?"

"Not yet." Lily replied eating a cucumber.

"Lily, I just don't want to see you get hurt." Jessica told her with a concerned expression.

"I know." Lily mumbled with food in her mouth.

"Especially, with everything that's going on right now." Jessica added.

"Mom, I know." She told her in a slightly aggravated tone. A brief second later, Lily put her fork on her plate and grabbed a mug of water. After that, he drank the water, gulping down her food in the process. Ten seconds later, Lily put the mug back on the counter.

"Listen, I know things haven't been easy for you. But we're gonna get through this together." She assured her in a confident tone. But, Lily was not convinced.

"You sure he's gonna be okay?"

"He is in the safest place that he could be right now." Jessica told her with a smile. But, her daughter still frowned. Then, she decided to come up with a different topic "You wanna hear something good?" She asked as she placed her hand on her briefcase.

"I finished the technology."

"Really?" She asked with a perplexed expression as her mother walked up to the briefcase. Then, Lily saw her mother pulling of her jacket on the briefcase which she saw.

"You think it's gonna work?" Lily asked.

"It will, I'm positive." Jessica replied with a nod.

Suddenly, the living room started to shake slightly as if an Earthquake was happening right now, the shake was also making the lights of the living room flicker too. And Lily had a slightly fearful expression on her face. A brief second later, a young roar was heard in the distance following up by the sound of something charging up, then, the shaking stopped.

Jessica then walked up to the large window of her house with her daughter following up from behind. Once they got to the window, Lily took a deep breath and exhaled it, calming herself down in the process. Then, one of Jessica's colleagues called her through her radio.

"Dr. Richard, we need you in containment."

Jessica lifted the radio in her right arm up and placed her radio near her mouth.

"I'm on my way."
