Newsreel before a movie, February 15th, 1944

A horrible strain of the influenza virus has officially begun to spread! Soldiers on all fronts on both sides fall like flies! A cry for a vaccine can be heard allvover the world. Nazi scientists have begun trials for a vaccine, as have we in the United States! It's a race against time it seems.

Ten months later on the radio in a camp, US Marines huddle around a radio:

A vaccine has been completed and is now being distributed to all Allied forces. It seems many will be healthy in time for Christmas.

December 30th:

A panicked radio man to General MacArthur... gunfire can be heard very clearly on the other line

Sir, things are getting bad! Fuckin things came from outta nowhere! Bullets can stop them thank God, but they're powerful sonsa bitches! They've overwhelmed most of the camp here and... oh shit, what was that?! A loud crash, like a door being kicked down Oh God please no... no no no AHHHHH!! Static...

January 6th, 1945, another movie newsreel:

As the world comes together to fight the new inhuman threat that plagues the earth now, unlikely allies are found within the former Axis and Allied powers. Brilliant minds from the US, Germany, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Australia, and Japan have combined their intellect to create some truly powerful weaponry to stop what are now being deemed, the Kryptids. A shot of two scientists testing what looks to be a plasma rifle. One of them pulls the trigger and melts a giant hole in the 5 feet thick wall of steel. They look to each other and nod. We can only hope that the Kryptids do not continue to produce new variations of their kind. Ogres, titans, and rhinos have now made they're first appearances in China, and have made short work of their defenses. The monsters had been taken down after a barrage of bazooka fire in the heart of Shanghai. We will continue to keep you folks in the loop...

May 5th, 1945. The only radio broadcasts being heard are from pockets of human resistance. Roughly 76% of the global population are now dead, or Kryptid.

This is Sean Larson, Sacramento California. We bagged an ogre, but not before it ate three of our best fighters. They're stomachs are practically indestructible... God...I can still hear they're muffled screams as the dead ogre was still digesting them alive...

This is Delores McCormick, Dublin Ireland. 50 stalkers and 100 grunts attacked our downtown forces from out of the blue. From what I'm hearing, it's almost like the rotten bastards are strategizing. Hitting our vital parts. I'm no scientist, but I think they may have a sort of chain of command.

June 12th, 1945. New York resistance report a giant creature rampaging throughout the city. It's the last time they are heard from.

July 4th, 1945. Snow and ice blow throughout the country. Radios throughout the world crackle and a new voice is heard. Solemn and forlorn, the report begins.

This is Michael "Preacher" Parsons. I arrived in New York, but... I fight alone. The terraformer still resides here. I don't think i can take this thing down by myself. It's half the size of the Empire State Building. I have no air support whatsoever, and I'm on my last couple rockets. He sighed. I'm not going out without a fight. He's now sounding fierce. I am a United States Marine. This is my land, these are my people. Even if I fall, I trust humanity will fight to its last fucking breath. Oorah!

Marines from all over give a big OORAH in response....

And that's all she wrote for now. Once I'm ready to begin the story, you'll get to see the ending. I hope you guys enjoy it. This is an old piece I'm using as a teaser.
