History
In 1954, the seemingly indestructible monster Godzilla, a result of H-Bomb tests in the south Pacific, first made his appearance on an island near the Japanese mainland. Godzilla soon made his way toward the Japanese capital of Tokyo and completely destroyed the city, but was destroyed himself by a new weapon known only as the oxygen destroyer, or so everyone thought. Godzilla soon returned and again wreaked havoc on Japan until the 1960s, when Godzilla and the aerial battleship Gotengo battled in Anarctica. Godzilla eventually blasts the ship with his radioactive heat ray and knocks it to the ground. However, as he approaches the ship, the ice begins to crack beneath him. A crevasse then opens up beneath the King of the Monsters and Godzilla falls in. Seeing their opportunity, the Gotengo fires missiles into a nearby mountain and the resulting avalanche buries Godzilla alive as it fills the crevasse. Fast forward to 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. To combat these monsters, the nations of the world decide to set aside their petty differences and combat these monsters, forming the Earth Defense Forces in order to face this crisis, with their biggest enemy being Godzilla himself. In the past that the EDF has battled and defeated the likes of Varan, Gezora, Gaira, Baragon, Titanosaurus, and Megaguirus. However, one day several monsters suddenly appeared and attacked cities all over the world, only to suddenly disappear in giant flashes of light in the midst of their attacks. 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, thousands of Xilien fighters also attack, and the mummified monster Gigan is awaked by the Xilien leader and also attacks. Meanwhile, a plan is formed by the few survivors and they take the Gotengo down to the South Pole and release Godzilla, who is trapped in the Antarctic ice thanks to the old Gotengo and is not under the control of the Xiliens, so that he may battle the monsters. The ship succeeds and Godzilla is freed, but not before Gigan arrives and strikes down the Gotengo. Godzilla rises and quickly defeats Gigan before turning his attention to the Gotengo and begins chasing it, thinking that his fight with the battleship back in the 1960s is still on, and follows it over land and sea. Godzilla, in his quest to destroy the Gotengo, eventually arrives in Australia, New Guinea, and finally Japan. Along the way he battles and defeats the monsters Zilla, Kumonga, Kamakiras, Anguirus, King Seesar, Rodan, Hedorah, and Ebirah before finally arriving in Tokyo. In Tokyo, the Xiliens summon a seemingly smaller Gorath and the “planet“ flies toward Earth. Godzilla senses its approach, digs his heels in, and fires his radioactive heat ray straight upward at it. Godzilla’s ray finally destroys the planet and bursts in a huge explosion over Tokyo. The city is basically left in ruins and as the smoke clears, Godzilla is left standing alone in a giant crater. However, Monster X suddenly floats down behind Godzilla and the two monsters begin battling. Monster X gets a slight upper hand and throws Godzilla to the ground, but Mothra suddenly arrives and knocks Monster X back with her wings. The Xilien leader quickly sends a repaired and upgraded Gigan after Mothra, who slices off part of one of her wings, knocking her out of the sky before joining Monster X in battling Godzilla. However, Mothra soon recovers and flies back to assist Godzilla, knocking both Gigan and Monster X to the ground. Gigan then turns his attention back to Mothra and the two kaiju battle once again, eventually ending with both kaiju seemingly destroyed in a large explosion. Meanwhile, Godzilla and Monster X continue to battle, firing their beams at one another until the beams meet, resulting in a huge explosion that nearly knocks them both off their feet. The monsters then begin battling with tooth and claw again, with Godzilla eventually gaining the upper hand, beating Monster X into the ground, basically defeating him. The Monster King’s dorsal plates then begin to glow as he prepares to fire his heat ray, but instead of striking Monster X, he strikes the Xilien Mothership. Monster X then slowly crawls to his hands and knees, but his eyes suddenly begin to glow. His arms, legs, and body expand and from his shoulders spring two heads that match the center, and all three are extended on long necks. The body turns dark gold and grey, the tail splits and wings fold out of the back. Monster X has transformed into Kaiser Ghidorah, who quickly unleashes its attack on Godzilla.

Each of the beast’s three heads unleash powerful gravity beams that strike Godzilla and also lift the King of the Monsters off the ground. The beams lift the Godzilla and rotate him onto his side, then begin to dragging him back and forth across the ruins of Tokyo. Kaiser Ghidorah then brings the weakened Godzilla close to him and sinks all three sets of jaws into Godzilla’s flesh. Kaiser Ghidorah’s body then begins to glow as it drains the life-force from Godzilla‘s body. However, the Gotengo hovers nearby after destroying the Xilien Mothership. Onboard, mutant turned powerful Kaiser-being Shinichi Ozaki senses that there is something he can do with his newfound abilities and his body begins to glow, as does the Gotengo, which fires a beam into Godzilla that reenergizes him. Godzilla’s dorsal plates begin to glow as his energy returns and he quickly unleashes a blast of his radioactive heat ray, blowing Kaiser Ghidorah’s middle head off. The three-headed monster reels in pain and releases Godzilla, who grabs one of the heads as it tries to blast him with a gravity beam, aiming the head at another head and severs it. Now, with only one head left, Godzilla grab‘s Kaiser Ghidorah's body and slams it into the ground multiple times. Godzilla then tosses Kaiser Ghidorah into the air and unleashes a super-charged red blast of his radioactive heat ray that completely destroys Kaiser Ghidorah in a large explosion. The explosion also damages the Gotengo and sends it crashing to the ground. Now with Kaiser Ghidorah destroyed, Godzilla spots the Gotengo and advances on it as its crew emerges. Godzilla stops and looks directly down at the humans and is about to unleash his radioactive heat ray, but suddenly Minilla runs through the ruins of Tokyo and places himself between Godzilla and the Gotengo. After a few tense moments, Godzilla turns and begins to walk away and Minilla follows. Godzilla and Minilla then swim off into the sunset together.
