History
In the near future, a century of nuclear tests and modern warfare, as well as unchecked scientific advances, have resulted in serious damage to the planet’s environment. These events have also caused the creation or revival of many giant monsters. One of these monsters was Kamakiras, the giant mantis. The day that several monsters attacked cities all over the world, Kamakiras tore through the famous French city, Paris. Kamakiras spares no famous landmark as it buzzes the Eiffel Tower and hops around on the Arch d’ Triumph. Soon, the Earth Defense Forces order the deployment of the French aerial battleship, the Eclaire. The Eclaire arrives and attacks Kamakiras with its weapons. However, in the midst of Kamakiras’ battle with the Eclaire, the giant mantis suddenly disappears in a giant flash of light, as do the rest of the attacking monsters across the globe. It is soon discovered that this is being done by UFOs and after getting rid of the monsters, they all converge on Tokyo and form one gigantic ship. These aliens, called the Xiliens, convince the people of Earth that they are here to aid humanity by warning Earth about an impending danger, that the Planet Gorath is currently hurtling toward Earth and will destroy the planet unless all of Earth’s weapons are concentrated and fired at Gorath at one time. However, the Xiliens true intent is soon revealed: Gorath is a lie and they have come to Earth to make humans their food, for the Xiliens must consume the mitochodrate in human beings to survive. They also control all of the monsters that were attacking the cities, having reconstructed their DNA to include the M-Base, something that the Xiliens also have in their bodies, so that they could control them. The monsters are then once again unleashed upon the cities that they were attacking. Kamakiras is once again unleashed on Paris, along with hundreds of Xilien fighters that soar through the skies of city. The Eclaire once again engages Kamakiras, but it is overwhelmed by the combined forces of the giant mantis and the Xilien fighters and the Eclaire is destroyed.
