Premise: In the year 2004, 50 years after Godzilla has last attacked Japan, and because the country can't let anything go, they still whine and complain about it. Yeah the rest of the world has problems too, and even get attacked by a random giant iguanna from time to time.
"But it's not Godzilla, now is it? So there. Our monster's better than yours. We win"
But of course, since this is a sequel, those fears have to be justified. The remains of a missing submarine are found, along with a giant reptile swiming along side it. Many useless days are spent looking at this footage of the creature and saying "That's Godzilla" and "No it's not." Remarkable progress was being made.
Meanwhile, a group of docudrama filmmakers stumble upon an old man who predicts Godzilla's return is near. "But how do you know this?" they ask. "Because he always comes back!" he replies. "Haven't you been watching the damn movies?" He hands them a press release for something called Godzilla; Mothra; King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack and points out a blurb about the Guardian Monsters. "They are our only hope!"
Who are the Guardian Monsters? Baragon, a giant red Dinosaur with ears that would put Ross Perot to shame. Mothra, a giant moth (they weren't feeling too original while naming him). King Ghidorah, a legendary eight-headed dragon (though it turns out he only has three, who taught the ancient Japanese how to count?).
Anywho, before long, Godzilla pops up to do his thing. Time to stroll around and kill some inocents, just another day at the office. He goes about his business for a while, until the first Guardian Monster, Baragon, decides to jump the gun, be an idiot, and attack the giant, radioactive, MF'in' lizard without the backup of his Guardian Monster homies. That Baragon always was a loose cannon. Anywho, Baragon jumps around and paws at the mighty Godzilla for a while, until big G gets annoyed and lays into the little red pest. Godzilla pounds the little shit into the ground until finally finishing him off with his radioactive breath.
Godzilla continues his warpath toward Tokyo, while the military just looks at him in awe for several hours and say "I don't believe it!" in unison. When they finally do decide it's time to do something, Godzilla shows them who's in charge rather quickly. Surveying his kingdom, Godzilla begins to grow bored, thinking about how easy life is.
But the final two Guardian Monsters have awoken from their long 2000 year nap. Mothra and Ghidorah set out against Godzilla and make Tokyo a warzone. The final battle has begun...
