Gamera: The Guardian of the Universe #1

One year after the events of Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Mayumi was summoned to Guanajota, Mexico by millionaire Patty Smith, on account of her allegedly having seen an Emerald-Crested Dapplinger, a bird believed to have been extinct for decades. Smith paid for Mayumi to fly over, and she was accompanied by her friend Asagi Kusanagi. Smith thought it best to not allow Kusanagi to the island to prevent word of an alleged Dapplinger getting out, which Mayumi thought was reasonable. As they sailed to Smith's private island, they resolved to wait to search for the bird until morning when it would be most active. Their driver, Gusano made a point about searching during the light, which Smith brushed off as a fear of the dark brought on by a recent tangle with a nocturnal creature upon Mayumi's inquiry. As they walked through the jungle, Mayumi looked at the evening sky through her binoculars, she saw the outline of what she thought was Gyaos, before writing this possibility off as impossible. She then suggested that the group keep their eyes low, as the Dapplinger's size would have meant it would leave large droppings. Just as she said this, they came upon an enormous pile with human bones and a pair of glasses visible. With her suspicions of Gyaos' return confirmed, Mayumi ordered them to call Mainland Authorities. She explained to them that the Gyaos that had attacked Tokyo one year before, had been killed and its remains had been sealed in laboratories, and so somehow, another member of the Gyaos species had emerged. When Gusano went to radio Guanajota, Mayumi explained to Patty that Gyaos was essentially living weaponry that was indestructible to all weapons except for one that had been engineered to destroy them. Mayumi guessed that the nocturnal Gyaos was headed for Guanajota to feed, and Smith lead her into a back room of their camp, where she revealed that she had grown Gyaos from a piece of DNA from the original Gyaos sold to them on the black market. There were several other mutants in jars, but Gusano reported that Gyaos had grown too big and escaped. Smith then unmasked herself as Greta Karbone, a known lunatic biologist that had faked her death to ensure her privacy. Karbone then revealed her plan for Mayumi: She was to help them to create Supermonsters from Gyaos' DNA.
