The Mysterious Deaths
Kong’s parents, Kongo and Kongette, were the beloved alpha pair leading a tribe of giant apes on Skull Island. One day, the entire ape tribe woke to find Kongo and Kongette dead under mysterious circumstances. There were no signs of physical trauma or illness, leaving everyone puzzled about what could have caused the sudden demise of their leaders.
The strange deaths sparked fear and uncertainty among the apes. Had a sinister outside force murdered their alphas? Or had Kongo and Kongette died of natural causes? The tribe needed answers to restore stability and select new leaders. Thus began an intensive investigation into the baffling deaths of Kong’s parents.
Examining the Bodies
The first step was a careful examination of Kongo and Kongette’s bodies. The apes’ shamans and healers thoroughly inspected the corpses but found no clues. There were no wounds, broken bones, or indications of sickness. Internally, the organs appeared healthy. The mouths and noses showed no sign of suffocation or drowning. Poison seemed unlikely with no traces found inside the bodies.
Without any physical evidence, the deaths remained a mystery. The healers preserved the bodies with herbs to conduct more tests. But the lack of trauma or pathology deepened the confusion over how two massive healthy apes could perish overnight.
Questioning Potential Witnesses
With the bodies offering no answers, the investigators turned to potential witnesses. However, nobody had seen or heard anything unusual before the bodies were discovered.
The last apes to see Kongo and Kongette alive were their children, including Kong. But the young apes reported nothing out of the ordinary. They said goodnight to their parents before going to sleep in a nearby cave. Everything had seemed normal.
Other apes on patrol duty that night were interviewed. They had detected no intruders in the territory, nor heard any disturbances. It was like Kongo and Kongette had simply dropped dead silently. Without any credible accounts, investigators hit another dead end.
Considering Supernatural Explanations
With no solid leads, speculated turned to supernatural forces. The ancestors’ spirits were suspected of possibly claiming Kongo and Kongette for reasons unknown. Maybe magical curses were involved for breaking tribal taboos. Or perhaps the work of demonic trolls that snuck into camp undetected.
The witch doctors conducted various rituals to commune with the dead and spirit world. But the ceremonies yielded no clear messages. Divination tools like bones, shells, and ash provided ambiguous answers at best regarding mystical culprits. Most shamans concluded supernatural causes were unlikely based on their failed attempts to find any.
Ruling Out Natural Causes
While witch doctors probed paranormal possibilities, healers focused on scientifically determining causes of death. They ruled out disease based on the lack of pathology found during exams. Likewise, no food or plants in the apes’ habitat could be linked to a deadly toxin. Traces of venom or poison would have remained in the bodies. The total absence of residual clues excluded natural biohazards.
Starvation or thirst was impossible for the well-fed alphas. Suffocation also failed to explain the undisturbed bodies. With all empirical evidence pointing against a natural death, it became apparent something more sinister was behind the demise of Kong’s parents.
The Ominous Cave Discovery
A major breakthrough came when the apes searched the jungle cave where Kongo and Kongette slept. Deep in the cavern, they discovered claw marks and scorch marks that were definitely not made by an ape. Something massive and powerful had carved up the rock walls.
Burned and warped stone indicated some fiery force was unleashed in the confined space. The clues pointed to an intense confrontation with an unknown creature. Its identity remained a mystery but its capacity for murder was undeniable.
Kongo and Kongette clearly did not go down without a fight against this menacing trespasser. But their formidable strength proved insufficient to counteract the lethal attack in the confined cave. With this revelation, the cause of death became homicide rather than natural causes.
Prime Suspects Emerge
Finding signs of a vicious battle narrowed down who the prime suspects could be. Very few beings on Skull Island were capable of taking down Kongo and Kongette within their own secure territory. Only an outsider of equal or greater might could be responsible.
Kong’s first thought was Godzilla. The gargantuan dinosaur often encroached on ape lands. But there were no tell-tale giant footprints or radioactive traces near the cave. Godzilla’s absence made him an unlikely culprit.
Next was King Ghidorah, the fearsome multi-headed dragon. He was known to kill for sport and boast trios of huge deadly heads. But Ghidorah was last spotted far away, making it improbable he had visited the island.
The twin cyclopean spiders known as Kumonga were also considered. Their venom and silk could make them formidable assassins. However, they resided deep underground on the other side of the island. The isolated cave was not connected to their lair, excluding the spiders.
The Star Beast Theory
After ruling out known native threats, speculation turned to alien entities. A longstanding legend told of a colossal three-headed armored star beast named King Ghidorah that visited from outer space. Witnesses described it as an unstoppable force leaving only death in its path.
Kong’s tribe became convinced this extraterrestrial Ghidorah was the interloper who murdered Kongo and Kongette. Perhaps it traveled through space to specifically target and eliminate the Kong leaders. Its motives and methods remained a mystery but not its culpability according to the predominant theory.
Though lacking hard evidence, King Ghidorah’s rumored existence and match to eyewitness accounts made him the prime subject. The shamans warned everyone to be vigilant for signs of another attack from the heavens by the triple-headed terror.
Opening an Official Investigation
In the wake of his parents’ shocking deaths, Kong assumed leadership of the tribe. His first act was declaring an official investigation to find answers and bring any guilty parties to justice, whether of this world or beyond.
Leading scientists and trackers were assigned to a special forensics team. Their mission was exhuming all possible clues from the crime scene cave and anywhere else that might shed light on the case. Meanwhile, the fastest messengers were sent to alert friendly tribes on the island who may have insight.
No clue was too small. Even a single scale or tooth fragment could help identify the perpetrator. Until proven otherwise, King Ghidorah remained suspect number one. The team was determined to uncover all the physical and testimonial evidence needed to confirm whether he, or some other creature, was behind the murders.
Establishing a Motive
Aside from figuring out how Kongo and Kongette died and by whom, the biggest question was why. What possible motive could drive someone or something to target the Kong leaders? Several potential motives emerged:
– Revenge: Perhaps Kongo had wronged King Ghidorah or another creature in the past, leading to retaliation.
– Territorial dispute: Kong lands were highly desirable. Killing the alphas could allow an outsider to seize control.
– Challenge to Kong authority: Usurping Kongo would make the murderer the new dominant power.
-Political intrigue: Rival ape factions may have wanted Kongo replaced with a more pliable leader.
-Strategic advantage: Removing Kong could cripple defenses against external threats.
Investigators aimed to identify the most credible motives based on context, capabilities, and creature psychology profiles. The motive might not justify the crime, but could at least provide critical insight.
Following the Evidence Trail
Piece by piece, new evidence shed light on the mystery case. A tuft of multicolored hair was found snagged on the cave wall, matching no known Skull Island inhabitant. Unusual radiation traces were detected, consistent with descriptions of King Ghidorah. Sharp, curved claw marks indicated something with talon-tipped limbs.
Skull Island’s immense size hindered the search for more clues, like finding a needle in a haystack. But messengers returned with several apes from distant regions reporting sightings of an unknown winged creature during the time of the murders. Their descriptions aligned with the legendary King Ghidorah.
Ultimately a handful of scales were uncovered, later confirmed to come from an extraterrestrial reptilian. Though not definitive, it supported accusations against the alleged interplanetary dragon. The scales provided the first direct physical evidence pointing to a suspect in the Kong murders.

Closing In on the Culprit
The totality of evidence pointed to one undeniable conclusion – King Ghidorah was responsible for the vicious slaying of Kong’s parents. No other creature or phenomena matched the accumulated clues. Motives were still unclear but the identity of the perpetrator was certain.
Visual sightings, hair samples, radiation signatures, claws marks, and scales combined to form a concise prosecutorial case against King Ghidorah. Kong vowed to avenge his parents and protect Skull Island by finding a way to neutralize the murderous star beast.
For now, the investigation could officially be closed. But Kong knew the real work was just beginning – devising a defense strategy against future attacks from the heavens by the genocidal Ghidorah. Kongo and Kongette would be the dragon’s last victims if Kong had any say.
The Trial of King Ghidorah
With evidence irrefutably incriminating King Ghidorah, Kong determined the time had come to put the interstellar killer on trial. Messengers spread word across Skull Island for eyewitnesses to testify before a tribal council that would judge Ghidorah.
After weeks of compiling testimony, the great council chamber was filled to capacity with apes and natives ready to bear witness against Ghidorah. Kong presented the condemning clues and called survivors of past Ghidorah attacks to share their accounts, establishing a lengthy pattern of devastation.
A young Mothra who once battled Ghidorah verified his existence as an almost unstoppable force of destruction. The accumulated evidence and eyewitness testimonies left no doubt of Ghidorah’s guilt. After only an hour of proceedings, the council unanimously convicted him in absentia and sentenced him to death.
But was justice truly served with the murderer still at large somewhere in space? For Kong, the final verdict would come only when Ghidorah was permanently banished from Skull Island and unable to harm another creature. He vowed to stand sentinel over his family’s domain until the threat passed, hoping one day they could live in peace. The trial may have concluded but the war had just begun.
Remembering Kong’s Parents
In the wake of sorrow, the apes took time to remember and honor their slain alphas. A massive burial ceremony was held on the cliffside overlooking the Kong family’s ancestral domain. Young and old alike shared fond memories of Kongo and Kongette’s benevolent leadership.
Their legacy was one of community, compassion, and protection of their island home against myriad threats. None imagined it would end so gruesomely, but the pair’s courage in battle inspired hope they could be avenged. Respects paid, Kongo and Kongette were laid to rest where they had watched many a beautiful sunset together.
A carved monolith was erected to memorialize the fallen leaders for perpetuity. Their names were recorded in tribal history as martyrs who gave their lives defending Skull Island. Kong personally added an inscription vowing to carry on their work as the new guardian of the apes and the island. Come what may, their obliteration would not be in vain.
