PROLOUGE- THE AGE OF MONSTERS

Giant monsters. They were once believed to be pure fantasy; but that all changed on the night of November 3, 1954, when a giant monster rose out of the waters of Tokyo Bay and leveled the city. Its name was Godzilla, King of the Monsters and with good reason; for no tank, ship, or fighter jet could even slow down the beast as it smashed buildings, trampled innocent people, and burned everything in sight with its radioactive fire. Once Tokyo was in ruins Godzilla returned to the sea, perhaps to return from whence it came or to destroy another city of man, but one brave scientist wasn't about to let the nuclear saurian take any more lives. He created a weapon called the Oxygen Destroyer, which destroyed all oxygen in the surrounding area, to use on Godzilla. Upon finding Godzilla's lair, the scientist activated the weapon and seemingly succeeded in destroying the monster, but he took his own life in the process to prevent others from using his weapon for evil purposes. Believing Godzilla to be dead, the people of Japan began to rebuild their demolished city; however no one realized that Godzilla was only the first of many more terrible monsters!

It was only months after Godzilla's attack on Tokyo when other monsters began to appear: the spiked quadraped Anguirus in 1955, the mutated pterosaur Rodan in 1956, the insectlike guardian of Infant Island Mothra in 1960, Hedorah the Smog Monster in 1971, the alien cyborg Gigan in 1972, Megalon the underground guardian in 1973, the vile and malevolent Destoroyah in 1995, and the golden dreadnought King Ghidorah in 1999 just to name a few. Unable to deal with these monsters individually, the nations of the world joined forces to find a way to contain or destroy these terrible beasts. Through the UN, the nations of the world created a special military and research branch called G-Force to combat the monsters. Eventually, through a combination of failed attempts and protests from various factions, it became clear that there was no way the monsters could be destroyed, but something still had to be done to contain the beasts. The solution the the problem would be divided into two projects: The Mechagodzilla Program and Project Monster Island.

The first step was to find a means to capture the monsters; this would be known as The Mechagodzilla Program. The idea based around this was a giant robot resembling Godzilla was used by an alien race called Simeons against Earth back in 1974.. This Mechagodzillawas defeated by the ancient Okinawan deity King Seesar, and Interpol tried to salvage the alien robot. They succeeded in rebuilding the first Mechagodzilla, but it proved to be incompatable with current earth technology. This slowed down the program tremendously until a Dr. Joseph Wormwood found a way to not only create an operational Moechagodzilla, but one that could redirect heat and energy-based attacks back to their source. This method was combining NT-20 synthetic diamonds into the armor plating itself and in 1993, the first fully operational Mechagodzilla went online. It proved effective against many a monster, but it proved to be slow in its reaction time against faster and more agile monsters. Another brilliant scientist joined G-force, bringing along a new kind of computer system with him. These computers were called DNA computers, which combined tissue or bone samples from living or extinct organisms with modern computers. This combination allowed for faster calculations and more rapid responses to certain situations. These computers would become the backbone for the third Mechagodzilla (nicknamed Kiryu by the pilot), completed in 2002. With a combination of masers, missiles, and a host of other weapons in their arsenal, the Mechagodzillas became the ultimate weapon against the giant monsters.

With a means of combating the giant monsters out of the way, the next step was to relocate these beasts to a confined area where they could be studied without fear of them simply wandering off into a heavily populated area. This was where Project Monster Island came in. The concept was simple: relocate the monsters to an isolated and unpopulated area where they could roam in relative paradise and thus be easier to study. However, finding an island large enough for gargantuan beasts to thrive proved most difficult. The Pacific Ocean was swamped with a variety of islands, but most of them were either in very unstable regions or they were populated and its inhabitants refused to leave. Then in 1999 an island in the South Pacific called Isle Del Diablo was discovered. It met all the project's requirements: large, uninhabited, and with an abundance of food. G-Force wasted no time in transforming the island to adapt it for monster containment and, upon completion, the two Mechagodzillas transported the majority of recorded monsters to Monster Island. The only known monster to avoid capture and confinement was Mothra; she had proven herself to be no threat to mankind so long as her island was left undisturbed.

It seem as though with the monsters finally confined in a single area, mankinds' giant monster problem was solved; unfortunately things are never so simple, especially when it involves giant beasts capable of leveling whole cities. Some of the monsters did not take their confinement so well and tried to either break loose or start fights with the other monsters. Even with stun guns designed to discourage the monsters the unruely ones still persisted in causing trouble. The initial solution to the problem was to have one of the Mechagodzillas stationed on the island at all times, however trying to deal with every giant monster scuffle on the island began to drain too much power from the super robots. Then a young woman named Kasumi Omori joined the G-Force staff stationed on Monster Island. She was knowledgeable in animal behavior and therapudic treatments, but her true talent lay in the power of her mind, for she had telepathic powers and could calm the monsters before anyone could fire off a shot. Since then the Earth has settled down some, but it is only a matter of time before another like Godzilla or worse appears and unleashes its might upon the planet...
