In the heart of Tokyo, a storm of epic proportions raged on. The relentless rain poured down in thick sheets, and the dark sky echoed with the rumble of thunder. In a dimly-lit ramen diner near the seaport, a Japanese businessman sat alone, his chopsticks clattering as he dug into his noodles.

Suddenly, a low rumble caught his attention, and he looked out towards the harbor. To his horror, a colossal creature emerged from the depths of the ocean. It was a monstrosity, with an enormous octopus head and tentacles that reached out menacingly. It was as large as the Tokyo Tower, and the businessman could hardly believe his eyes.

He leapt from his seat, knocking over his bowl of ramen, and ran for his life. All around him, people were screaming and fleeing for safety as Cthulhu, the monstrous creature, made its way through the city. Its massive tentacles slammed into buildings, sending them crashing down to the ground, while its fish minions, the Deep Ones, scurried below, attacking anyone who was foolish enough to remain behind.

As the businessman ran through the chaos, he heard a woman's voice in the distance. He turned to see a group of survivors huddled together, seeking shelter from the madness. "Come on!" the woman shouted, motioning for him to join them.

He sprinted towards the group and huddled close with them, panting for breath. "What is happening? What is that thing?" he gasped, still in shock from the sight of the monstrous creature.

"I don't know!" the woman replied, her voice shaking.

As they spoke, Cthulhu stopped near the Tokyo Tower, letting out a deafening roar that echoed through the city. His massive tentacles thrashed around wildly, causing even more destruction.

Eris, the goddess of chaos, stood atop Cthulhu's head, reveling in the destruction that was unfolding beneath her. "This city is already doomed," she sneered. "And soon, the rest of humanity will fall too."

The businessman couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had heard of ancient myths and legends, but he never thought they could be real. "What can we do?" he asked.

"We have to try to escape or hide!" another survivor asked, her voice trembling. "Only the military can help!"

The businessman thought for a moment, looking around at the destruction and chaos. "I hope someone will come," he said. "But who?"

The Boeing CH-47 Chinook descended, its tandem rotors churning the crisp mountain air. Roger, Agent Rolf, and the Cerberus women stepped into the aircraft through the back. The sound of the helicopter blades faded outside, lifting off. The Cerberus women sat next to Roger and stretched their arms out. Their smooth furry muscles bulged.

As they rested, Katina voiced her disappointment, "Another boring ride back to the base. I hope we don't get stuck with nothing to do again."

Rolf's radio rang, interrupting the conversation. He listened intently, his expression changing from casual to serious. "We have a problem," he announced. "There's a giant octopus man attacking Tokyo. We need to get there immediately."

Roger looked at Rolf, puzzled. "A giant octopus man? What are you talking about?"

"It's Cthulhu," Rolf replied, his tone grim. "The god of madness, chaos, and destruction. He's real, and he's attacking Tokyo."

Roger was taken aback. "I thought Cthulhu was just a fictional monster from H.P Lovecraft's books."

Rolf shook his head. "No, he's real. Along with the other old ones, they ruled over the ancient humans until their worshippers turned against them. Lovecraft was touched by an Old One, and he wrote stories based on the cosmic deities in his books. Nobody believed him, even though his books became popular. But now, if Cthulhu is free, he will destroy the world. And Eris might be with him since she might be the one who freed him."

The gravity of the situation weighed heavy on the group as they realized the enormity of the threat. They had to act quickly. The urgency of the situation spurred them on.

"We need to get to Tokyo as soon as possible," Roger declared, determination etched on his face. "With my power, we should be capable of fighting them now."

The Cerberus women nodded in agreement, their eyes reflecting the seriousness of the situation.

Rolf contacted their base in Washington D.C. to get more information on the situation. The urgency of the situation was palpable, and they knew they had to move fast.

They had to get to Tokyo and stop Cthulhu before it was too late.
