Prologue

On a lone island, far out in the ocean, there live monsters. Creatures of gigantic proportions all living in peace. However, that peace would soon come to an end. Several days ago, an alien race, known as the Xilians, had threatened to destroy the planet Earth. As a warning, the Xilians unleashed their monsters, captured and artificial, to attack three major cities on Earth. Soon, however, the Xilians learned that the humans weren't as defenseless as they once thought. They had constructed maser tanks, two massive mechs (one of which the Xilians destroyed), and their own monsters.

Three of Earth's greatest defenders successfully deterred the Xilians' first attack, proving that they wouldn't go down without a fight. Now aware of the existence of monsters on Earth, the Xilians venture to Monster Island to eradicate them, and continue their conquest of Earth.

(…)

The residence of Monster Island prepared themselves for the greatest battle of their lives. The flying monsters, Rodan and Varan, flew miles above the island, keeping a lookout for the invaders. The monsters Baragon, King Caesar, and Anguirus burrowed underground, waiting to ambush the enemy. Gorosaurus, Manda, and Kamakuras used their small size and camouflage to their advantage and hid in the trees, also planning a surprise attack.

Standing on the front lines were the last three monsters and one robot. It was the goddess, Mothra, the monster prince, Minya, the size-changing robot, Jet Jaguar, and the king of the monsters, Godzilla. The three stood on guard, with Godzilla and Minya charging up their atomic blasts, and Mothra building up silk in her mouth to immobilize the space monsters. After waiting for several hours, some of the monsters were starting to think the invaders wouldn't show up.

Gorosaurus growled impatiently, eagerly wanting to fight. But Godzilla roared back at him, telling him to stay at his post. The king knew the invaders would come to the island, mainly because they still had a score to settle. Not just from the previous assault on Earth, but from their first encounters decades ago. The same applied to Anguirus, Rodan, and Jet Jaguar. Anguirus and Rodan both wanted payback, while Jet didn't care too much for revenge. All he wanted was the safety of humanity.

And speak of the devils, just on the horizon, Rodan spotted three objects flying towards Minster Island at high speeds. He divebombed back down to the island, and spread his wings out at the last minute to avoid impact. He landed next to Godzilla and let out a series of squawks and growls, alerting Godzilla of the oncoming threat. Godzilla looked up at Varan and roared, telling him to come down. Minya looked at his father nervously, but Godzilla gave him a reassuring *skronk*, which seemed to calm him down some.

Though tensions rose once more as the three monsters drew close enough for everyone to see. They were the cyborgs, Gigan and Megalon, and the golden terror, Godzilla's arch nemesis, King Ghidorah. The landed near the beach of the island with a loud thoom, crushing several trees beneath their feet. Gigan and Megalon let out their shrill roars and clanged their weaponized appendages together, ready for some action. Ghidorah cackled as he and his allies began their advance on the Earth monsters.

Godzilla stared menacingly at his nemesis, hatred burning in his eyes, then bellowed a roar as loud as he could. While the space monsters saw this as an intimidation tactic, the Earth defenders recognized the signal. The three Earth monsters burst from the ground all at once. Baragon and Anguirus tackled Megalon and Gigan, while King Caesar grabbed Ghidorah's necks and threw him over his shoulder. Seeing the opportunity to strike, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at Ghidorah, causing him to howl in pain. Though the dragon quickly recovered and fired off his gravity beams in different directions.

Gigan used his buzz saw to slice into Anguirus' chest. He narrowly avoided the spinning blade by leaping off of Gigan, though he was still left with a gnarly gash on his chest. Megalon spat out a spit-bomb in Baragon's face, lighting the top of his head on fire. Baragon tried scurrying to the water to put himself out, but Megalon stomped on his tail and fires a beam from his horn onto Baragon's back. Godzilla roared again, signaling the other monsters hiding in the trees. Gorosaurus hopped on his tail and kicked Megalon from behind, much like a kangaroo would. Manda wrapped himself around Gigan, but he made sure his body was out of the way of his buzz saw.

Kamakuras used his claws to hack and slash at Gigan, but the cyborg managed to counter with a laser beam, effectively killing the praying mantis. Godzilla roared and pointed to the aliens, telling Mothra, Rodan, and Varan to join in the fight. Manda unraveled himself off of Gigan's body just before Mothra swooped in and knocked him onto his back. Varan helped Baragon to his feet while Gorosaurus continued to kick Megalon while he's down. Rodan, Godzilla, and Minya all charged at King Ghidorah, wanting to finish him off for good. Rodan flew in close to Ghidorah's middle head and started to peck at his face. But Ghidorah managed to deter him with a gravity beam.

Godzilla and Minya both fired their atomic breaths at Ghidorah's chest, but he retaliated by firing several gravity beams art the father-son duo. Godzilla endured the pain, but Minya was knocked onto the ground badly injured from the one shot. Godzilla wanted to come to his son's aid, but Ghidorah grabbed Rodan with his heads and threw him at Godzilla, causing them both to stumble on the ground. Ghidorah fired more gravity beams, making sure Godzilla, Rodan, and Minya stayed on the ground. Luckily, Ghidorah wouldn't have the upper hand for long.

Using his great agility, Jet Jaguar dashed behind King Ghidorah, grabbed his tails, and began to pull back. He lifted Ghidorah into the air and threw him onto Gigan, knocking the cyborg out of the fight. Godzilla gave Jet a thankful growl, to which the robot responded with a thumbs up.

(…)

Hovering just above Earth's atmosphere, the Xilians watched from their ship as their monsters were being beaten horribly by Earth's monsters.

"It appears we underestimated the monsters of Earth," the Xilian leader admitted, "They are far more powerful and intelligent than we previously thought."

"Sir, our monsters won't stand a chance of those Earthlings keep ganging up on them," One of the Xilian soldiers pointed out.

The Xilian leader smirked, "It does not matter. We have them right where we want them. Ready the weapon."

"But sir, King Ghidorah, Gigan, and Megalon won't be able to escape," another soldier said.

"Without their monsters, Earth will be left defenseless. We are still plenty capable of destroying the Earth with out King Ghidorah and the others. Now… fire Dimension Tide!"

The crew pressed multiple buttons and switches, causing a hatch to open at the bottom of the ship. From the hatch lowered what looked like a mix between a cannon and a satellite.

"On my mark," the Xilian leader said.

He watched on as the Earth monsters continued beating on their monsters, though he didn't care for their safety.

"Ready…"

The Dimension Tide cannon surged with electricity as a blue ball of energy formed at its tip.

"Fire!"

One of the crew members pressed a large, red button, firing the trans-dimensional weapon. The beam plummeted straight down to monster island, its intended purpose to transport all the monsters to an uninhabitable planet discovered by the Xilians.

(…)

Just as it seemed the Earth monsters would achieve victory, Godzilla noticed something strange happening in the sky. The clouds began to form a swirling formation as a large, blue beam descended from the sky. Godzilla knew this meant trouble, and he wasn't going to let the Xilians triumph. He fired his atomic breath at the beam in an attempt to slow it down.

(…)

The controls on the Xilian ship were beginning to go haywire. Control panels were exploding, and sparks were flying everywhere.

"What's happening!?" The Xilian leader questioned.

"Sir, Godzilla fired his beam at Dimension Tide. There energies are mixing together," a crew member explained.

"Divert all power to the weapon. Godzilla must not win!"

(…)

Godzilla's atomic breath was beginning to be pushed back. His feet slid back and dug into the ground. He was exerting as much energy as he could into his beam, but it looked like it wasn't going to be enough. To make things worse, King Ghidorah had recovered and let loose his gravity beams at Godzilla's torso, forcing him onto the ground. Godzilla roared on anger as he fell. He didn't know what the beam was going to do, but he knew it was nothing good. Not wanting to see his comrades or planet destroyed, he tried firing another atomic blast to stop the beam, but King Ghidorah kicked him in his stomach, interrupting the atomic blast.

Ghidorah continued to stomp on Godzilla, completely unaware of what his nemesis was trying to do. Godzilla tried getting up, but Ghidorah wouldn't let him. He kept kicking him and slamming his tails in his face. Just as Godzilla started to black out from all the blunt trauma applied to his head, he saw the beam collide with the surface of the island. He let out one final roar before he, along with everyone else, was engulfed by a blinding light.

(…)

The ships systems began to stabilize as Dimension Tide was deactivated.

"Did… did it work?" the Xilian leader asked as he inspected one of the monitors surveying monster island.

"We're trying to reconnect the signal to the cameras on Earth," a crew member said.

And almost instantly, the static on the screen went away. The sight the Xilians were left with put a smile on their faces. Where once the monsters stood, locked in combat, there was now a large crater, with no signs of life to be found.

"It worked," the Xilian leader said triumphantly, "are the monsters on the planet we selected?"

The crew looked too nervous to respond.

"Well, are they!?"

"That's the problem sir. We don't know where they are."

The Xilian leader slammed his fist on the console.

"Then find them! We cannot risk them appearing on a planet that has the technology to return them home!"

"Yes sir!"

(…)

Godzilla's entire body was aching, all the way from his head to his tail. Whatever that beam was did a number on him. He tried opening his eyes, but he closed them again after being met with a blinding light. He was still trying to recover from the effects of the blast. Though while he couldn't see, he could still hear just fine, and what he heard surprised him. He heard dozens of chattering voices, presumably a large crowd gathered around him. Normally humans would be too scared to get up close to him. The only reason they would was either if they thought he was dead, or they weren't human.

Feeling a sense of urgency, Godzilla tried moving his body. He started with his tail, which he managed to raise in the air slightly. The voices around him seemed incredibly startled after seeing him move. He then shifted his left leg forward a few feet, then his right. His quick healing factor suddenly kicked in when he tried moving his right arm, so rather than moving it slowly, it jolted into the air, then slammed back onto the ground. His senses kicked in as well, allowing him to feel the terrain around him. He dug his claws into what felt like sand, and he felt water splashing up against his tail.

Finally, he managed to stand himself up, the voices around him growing fainter as his head reached the sky. Wanting to confirm his suspicions about the 'people' around him, he slowly opened his eyes. They quickly adjusted to the light, and soon he could see clearly. He looked down at the people below him, and was surprised to see that they were, indeed, human. He growled in relief upon seeing friendly-ish faces. However, upon closer inspection, Godzilla noticed something off about the humans. It looked as if they had animalistic attributes, such as antlers, tails, fins, etc.

He immediately began to get more worried. He looked around to see if he could spot any other monsters, but he was the only one. Though once he surveyed the area, he saw that he was on what looked to be another island. It had lush, tropical forests, like his home. But unlike Monster Island, several wooden huts and houses covered a majority of what he saw of the island. He growled curiously as he began to take a step forward. But once he heard the people below him screaming, he stepped back, not wanting to trample them.

It seemed as if these people had never even seen a monster like him before. They were probably terrified of him. Wanting to try and show that he was friendly, Godzilla knelt down and growled softly at the strange people. Most people ran away in fear, though a handful stayed and stared him right back in the eye, which meant they were either stupid, or fearless, and he respected the latter of the two. But there was one in particular that grabbed his attention. It was a tall, muscular male, with a large, black beard, a purple coat, silver armor, and a patch of black chest hair sticking out of the coat. Judging by the way people stood behind him for protection, and his fearless gaze, this could've been the leader of this island.

"Chief, what is that thing?" a woman with a pair of fox ears asked.

"I don't care what it is," someone with a lion tail added, "I say we run!"

"Do you think it'll attack us?" a young man with rabbit ears asked frightfully.

"No, no I don't think so," the large man, whom the woman referred to as 'chief', replied, "if it wanted to hurt us, it would have done so already."

He held his chin in his hand and pondered for a moment, then began walking towards Godzilla.

"Ghira, what are you doing?" an older looking woman with cat ears asked, worried about the large man, named Ghira.

"I'm going to try to figure out what this is doing here. It clearly wants something, and I would like to know what. Perhaps some food, or shelter."

"Ghira," the woman placed her hand on Ghira's forearm, "be careful."

"Don't worry Kali," Ghira said soothingly, "everything's going to be ok."

Ghira carefully stepped closer to Godzilla, worried that if he made any sudden movements, he'd startle the monster. Once he got close enough, he stretched his arm outwards in an attempt to show that he, much like Godzilla, meant no harm. To Ghira's, and everyone else's, great surprise, Godzilla mimicked the motion. Ghira quickly lowered his arm, and Godzilla did the same.

'It's copying my moves,' Ghira thought, 'could this creature be intelligent?'

Godzilla performed a series of growls and grunts, trying to communicate. Unfortunately, Ghira didn't speak monster.

"Are you… trying to say something?" Ghira asked, though it was more to himself rather than to Godzilla.

Godzilla, still hearing his question, grunted in response.

"If… if you can understand me, then show me a sign. I don't want to harm you. I merely wish to know why you're here."

Godzilla thought for a moment. While he knew how to say a few phrases, they were only in Japanese, so that couldn't help him. He then thought of the sign Jet Jaguar often gave him when they won against Megalon and Gigan. Godzilla looked at his hand, then attempted to replicate the sign. He gave Ghira his best thumb's up, hoping that would be enough to let him know he could understand him. Ghira's eyes widened in wonder.

"Incredible," Ghira muttered, "you can understand me!"

Godzilla growled.

"My name is Ghira. I am the leader of this island. I doubt you could tell me your name though."

Godzilla gave him an 'oh really' look. He placed one claw in the sand and began to trace something. However, it was in Japanese characters, so Ghira probably wouldn't understand (he had learned some Japanese from Mothra's fairies). To Ghira, it was just a bunch of random symbols, but to anyone from Earth, these symbols represented both a protector, and a destroyer. The name of the king of the monsters, ruler of Earth, defender of humanity.

Gojira.

Hey, it's-a me, Vector Convoy here to clarify a couple things. The reason why Godzilla is acting the way he is and why he's so smart is because it's the showa Godzilla. I'm just embracing the silliness of the showa era, and if Godzilla can talk in Godzilla vs Gigan, then he can do some writin too. I'm mainly doing this version of Godzilla because of how much I love the showa era, and I think it would be fun to see these versions of the monsters in the world of Remnant. That's about it. Hope ya'll enjoyed this, I look forward to writing more of this.
