History
Skull Island: The Birth of Kong
"The People Who Came from the Sky"
In the year 1995, Aaron Brooks supposedly gathered the team of Evenij Medov, Evelyn Matamavi, Helen Karsten, Riccio, and their pilot Cejudo in order to investigate a M.U.T.O. fossil bed in Antarctica, but instead planned to investigate Skull Island. They took a prototype V-22 Osprey, for their trip, but just as they passed through the storm system, and Walter remarked that Skull Island was a real mythical island, as opposed to Atlantis or Lemuria. However, they were immediately shot down by Psychovultures. Cejudo went down with the Osprey, while the rest of the party parachuted to the ground. Riccio suggested that they make contact with the locals, but the party instead resolves to search for Cejudo and the Osprey, which had all of their supplies. However, when they turned to begin, they were attacked by Death Jackals, and Karsten was killed. Medov was horribly wounded, but Kong crushed all of the beasts with his hand and foot. Riccio then noticed the approaching Iwi tribesmen, lead by a boy named Ato, who claimed that they had been anticipating hteir arrival.
"The Mountain who Thunders Death"
Ato brought the party to the Iwi village, where they were treated for their wounds. Riccio took a liking to their medicine, and made fast friends with the tribe. He then lead the Osprey party to the temple in the wreck of the Wanderer where he told them the spirit of Atenatua, a wise woman who had brought the Iwi to Skull Island resided therein before falling under the hallucinogenic medicine's influence. Riccio had a vision of the Kong species, and their battle with the Skullcrawlers millions of years ago. Vowing to unravel the mystery of Kong, Riccio promised to lead the party in Atenatua's footsteps to hold communion with Kong himself. He then celebrated with the Iwi. The next morning he prepared for the voyage and demanded that his friends paint their bodies and remove their clothes. They attempted to decline, but Walter reminded them that the Iwi were sharing sacred knowledge, and encouraged them to have more respect for their traditions. When they reached the first stop, a wrecked Dutch Galleon, Riccio saw another mural and received a vision of the last two Kong in existence greeting the first Iwi to arrive on the island. Matemavi encouraged him to rest, but Walter was offended by this suggestion of sickness, and began to walk out to the next stop when a Sirenjaw attacked. However, Kong came to defeat it.
"Valley of the Fallen Gods"
With the Sirenjaw dead, the rest of Skull Island emerged to feed on its corpse, effectively blocking their path back to the village. However, while sheltering they received radio communication from Cejudo
