Probably the greatest feat man accomplished was collecting most of Earth's monsters and placing them in a controlled habitat known as Monsterland. Yes, kids, it's Monsterland! Come on down, make your parents spend a fortune on your bratty little ass, and come play with the dangerous monsters (though parents secretly have their fingers crossed that they get eaten before paying the bill). These mighty beasts include Godzilla, his son Minilla, Rodan, the new Mothra larva (bet the Infant Island natives weren't too thrilled about this), Manda, and despite being very very dead the last time we saw them, Anguirus, Varan, Baragon, Kumonga, and Gorosaurus all live there as well.
But alas, this is not meant to be. For an alien race called the Kilaaks went out drinking one day and ran into their old buddies the Xillians from Godzilla vs. Monster Zero. The Xillians decide to play a little joke on the Kilaaks and plant it inside their head that controlling Earth's monsters and invading their planet is a good idea. The Xillians begin snickering to themselves uncontrolably as the Kilaaks form their plan and prepare the invasion.
"And don't forget to take that useless sack of...er, I mean, feirce and frightening space dragon, King Ghidorah with you!" the Xillian Controller calls out after them. "He'll really help out." The Kilaaks leave, letting the Xillians let out a burst of laughing applause. "Suckers."
So taking this advice, the Kilaaks invade Earth and control the many monsters of Monsterland. Godzilla is set loose in New York. Rodan flies over Moscow. Mothra crawls around in Beijing. Baragon and Gorosaurus dig tunnels in France (I don't know how a giant T-Rex with tiny arms can dig, but at least ol' Goro never gives up!).
Like always, the people of Earth don't take kindly to being conquered, though secretly they wonder "Maybe if we let them win this time, they'll just leave us alone." But alas, the typical Earthling Gung Ho spirit rises yet again and we fight back. Using those fancy moon rockets our people play with daily, a group of astronauts challenge the Kilaaks and destroy the mind control device.
In retaliation, the people of Earth build our own mind control device (yeah, that's right. We love our our free will, but we're not above stealing their ideas), and order the monsters to revolt against the Kilaaks. But the Kilaaks send their beloved golden boy King Ghidorah to defend them. Godzilla will lead an army of the Monsterland monsters to take down King Ghidorah and end the Kilaak invasion. Who will win?
Oh let's see...9 monsters against 1...who do you think is going to win?
