An ice cold mist hung over the sea of Japan, ominous silence accompanying the white fog. Slowly the wind began to pick up and those in the nearby town were confused by the sudden cloudy skies and cool afternoon winds.

Then there were the sounds of thunder overhead, and lightning to boot. No rain though. Just a thunderstorm with liquid. Those on the street began to move a lot quicker as no one wanted to be caught out in the open, but then something else happened.

Hail suddenly began to rain from the sky. Those down below were being pelted by little ice pellets. Some hissed in pain as the ice was as hard as stone and the wind began to grow more savage.

Cars on the streets began to honk their horns in anger as pedestrians simply ran across the roads and the royal family had no choice but to remain in their limbo to avoid the oncoming calamity.

That's when the tremors started. Small but powerful. Was an earthquake happening now? Why had the world suddenly become the day after tomorrow?

There was no clear cut answer, all there was was frightening cold. Parts of the sea were beginning to ice up and the tops of buildings were starting to freeze over as the mist rolled in.

The tremors continued, the hail became thicker, and the clouds grew darker. Something... something was coming. The royal family against their better judgement exited the safety of their vehicle and looked out towards the sea. It was cold like they wouldn't believe, but they stood firm.

The water began to rage and something large began to arise. Water piled high into the sky until... boom! It fell back down to earth to reveal... a hand? A giant hand!

All the way back in his director seat, Mr. Tatasumoto was grining from ear-to-ear. The scene was turning out even better than he'd hoped.
