Greetings readers. Before we start, i would just like to state that one of my reasons for starting this story was due to a lack of fic's focusing around Varan. Even in his official appearances, the amount of times that he does can be counted with the fingers one one hand. He is one of my favorite Godzilla monsters, and to see him be given so little attention is... Disheartening. That and Varan dies so much in what fic's that he does appear in that he's pretty much become the Kenny of Godzilla Fanfiction, barely beating out Krystalak in this. And for awhile i tried to decide on whether making this focus around Varan or Mothra. I eventually went with Varan, because of the previous reasons.
Although, i would still like to see someone try to do a sister fic to this one which would focus around Mothra instead. Anyone who is up for it i'd like to discuss it with. God knows i'm not making it though, as i'm too busy with this story. This fic will be combining elements from a wide variety of monster franchises, and putting them all into one amalgamation which is focused around the events of Godzilla Unleashed. Why did i choose that as the skeleton of the fic? because it isn't explored enough in fanfics, and i liked the multiple endings thing it had going on. Although i could have released it after Godzilla Vs Kong comes out, i'll admit that my patience has finally run out for it, so i decided to get this over with. Besides, it can just be rewritten later on anyway. So with that out of the way, here is the timeline.
298.9 million years ago: Beginning of the Permian Period, numerous early Titan species begin to spread across Pangea.
280 million years ago: The Titanus Jinshin-Mushi species evolves to parasitically reproduce, mainly using Titanus Gojira species, which recently evolved from the Godzillasaurus's, as hosts due to the high amount of radiation in their bodies. The Jinshin-Mushi are primarily prevented from overtaking the other species of the world by the Titanus Mosura, a species of large moth like creatures, each of whom is reborn into an egg previously laid upon it's death and inhabits the body within.
252 million years ago: The Titan known as Monster Zero arrives on earth with a number of less powerful members of it's kind known as Desghidorah's. The Desghidorah's arrived first by attacking packs of Titans all over the planet in groups, and later on Monster Zero arrives whilst riding upon a meteor, which when combined with the Desghidorah's resulted in a mass extinction event. Earth's native Titans battle against the extraterrestrials, with the majority of Titan species being wiped out, such as all but one of the Titanus Rodan species, and the vast majority of Meganulon, which escape by entering hibernation. Many of the surviving Titans are former alpha's of their kind.
Monster Zero is defeated a decade later at the cost of most of life on Earth, as the majority of Titanus Gojira and Titanus Jinshin-Mushi are wiped out. Of the invaders only Monster Zero and one Desgidorah are left, with the former hibernating within Earth's northern pole due to being trapped there by Earth's native Titans, as the Titans at the time lacked the strength to kill it, while the Desgidorah went into hibernation underground to wait until the native Titans died out. The Titan also seemed to be on the verge of transforming into a new Monster Zero after the defeat of it's former alpha, likely as a response it's perceived weakness, and so desired to challenge it for control. With the numbers of both being altered by the conflict, the balance between the Titanus Jinshin-Mushi and Titanus Gojira species spirals out of control.
With the radiation that once coated the worlds surface starting to lower, the remaining handful of Titanus Gojira's went into hibernation near the earths core, both to feed off of it's radiation and to outlast the Titanus Jinshin-Mushi's which would die off without a means of reproduction. The Titanus Jinshin-Mushi Alpha implanted embryos into the Titanus Gojira Dagon, whom whilst unaware of them went into hibernation whilst the parasites within fed off of his bodies radiation.
175 million years ago: Pangaea begins to break apart, with a species of large apelike creatures ending up on one of the islands brought about by this breaking.
350,000 years ago: Earth became inhabited by many species, such as the Atlanteans, the Nilai-Kanai, and early Humanity. The Nilai-Kanai would be wiped out by the Titan, Titanus Dagahra and the species known as Barems which were controlled by it, and Dagahra would go into hibernation at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Humanity would enter into a war with the Atlanteans due to humanities desire for expansion and waged a war of extermination on the Atlanteans. The Atleanteans due to being pushed to the brink of destruction by humanity started to create a species to combat them whilst the Atlanteans could repopulate, the results of this were the Titanus Gyaos, and using them the Atlanteans destroyed every Human civilization on the planet whom then released an artificial disease which would devolve Humanity.
As a result Humanity was set back by thousands of years evolution, but the disease would be overcome overtime as Humanity re-evolved. But knowledge of previous history, art, literature, among many other things would remain forgotten, and Humanities technology would all be taken by the Atlanteans. Soon after the war with Humanity the Gyaos turned on the Atlanteans, and despite repeated attempts to destroy them over the course of several years, Atlantis is destroyed within hours upon the Gyaos's discovery of it, with the remaining Atlanteans going into hiding. The last remaining Atlanteans created the titan, Titanus Gamera. Gamera would go on to nearly wipe out the Gyaos, whom retreated deep into the Hollow Earth. Gamera meanwhile fought briefly with the Meganulon who escaped by fleeing to Japan.
Gamera then entered hibernation, awaiting the day when the Gyaos or Meganulon would return or another threat would arrive.
920 years ago (1130): The Titan Methuselah destroys a village in the vicinity of Munich, and begins hibernation within the ruins whereupon a forest grew upon his shell, and in the centuries thereafter was long presumed to be a mountain.
529 years ago (1521): Spanish Conquistadors discover hieroglyphs similar to that of a Titanus Rodan within many Native Mexican temples. It is theorized that some native groups likely believed him to be their fire god Xiuhtecuhtli incarnated into a physical form, whilst others would believe him to be a flame monster, giving the Titan the name of Rodan, the fire demon.
96 years ago (1954): The last Titanus Gojira, whom would later on be called Godzilla, was unknowingly awakened from hibernation by the presence of a United States nuclear submarine when it reached the lower depths of of the South Pacific Ocean, which drew him to the surface in search of a new source of radiation. Godzilla attacked and fed on both US and Soviet Union submarines, with each nation believing the other to be responsible but strictly denying it. Godzilla's presence eventually became known, and the American military began detonating a series of nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands to try and kill him under the guise of nuclear testing.
On March 1st, Godzilla was lured ashore at Bikini Atoll, where the American military detonated their first-ever dry-fuel hydrogen bomb, code named Castle Bravo, in an attempt to kill him. Godzilla disappeared following the detonation, and the United States covered up all evidence of his existence. The organization known as Monarch was formed to study Godzilla and any other supersized "hyperfauna" like him, and continued to search for him in the following decades, with little results.
77 years ago (1973): Skull Island is discovered via satellite imagery. Monarch official William Randa approaches and convinces Senator Willis to allow Monarch to accompany Landsat on a mission to the island with military support before the Soviet Union stumble onto their discovery and go there first. The Titan Kong is discovered, along with numerous other Titans such as the Cranium Reptant species, also known as the Skullcrawlers. Outpost 33 was built off the shore of the island in 1980.
73 years ago (1977): A living member of the Titanus Anguillas species is discovered in Saudi Arabia twenty miles west of of the Ghawar oil field. Outpost 15 is later built in the area.
69 years ago (1981): Under the guise of environmental research, a Monarch team established a quarantine zone around the dormant volcano on Isla de Mara, which Rodan still hibernated in. Over the years, the zone grew from a small scientific outpost into a full containment facility around the mouth of the volcano, which was then dubbed Monarch Outpost 56. Three months after the discovery of Rodan, the Titan Leviathan is discovered at the bottom of lake Loch Ness within Scotland. Outpost 49 is later built in the area. Two months after the discovery of Leviathan, the Titan Bunyip is discovered under the Ayers Rock in Australia. Outpost 99 is built in the area. The eastern portion of the Ayers Rock is burst into rubble when Bunyip is awakened by Monster Zero.
65 years ago (1985): The Titan Caesar is discovered on the island of Okinawa in hibernation. Outpost 73 is built on the island. The Titan Sekhmet is discovered two months later beneath the city of Cairo within Egypt, discovered initially by increased seismic activity, later confirmed through excavations carried out beneath the city in secret. The center of Cairo collapsed into a sinkhole when Sekhmet was awakened by Monster Zero, with a strait line out of the city being carved out by the Titan when exiting the city after emergence.
60 years ago (1990): A Titanus Baradagi is discovered in Siberia within lake Baikal, with the Titan itself being given the classification due to being referred to as Baradagi by the locals. The research team sent to investigate were initially driven off after it was awakened by the Soviet Union bombing the lake in an attempt to kill it, but the local people were spared from being attacked after offering a portion of their livestock to Varan whom after consuming the offerings reentered the lake. Outpost 63 is later built in the city of Irkutsk to the west, and operated under the guise of a hardware store with the majority of the Outpost located beneath. Four months later, the Titan Scylla is discovered beneath under an Oil Rig the city of Sedona within the United States. The Oil Rig is destroyed when Scylla was awakened by Monster Zero.
55 years ago (1995): Excavations of Norse ruins in Sweden unearthed drawings of a species of titan which would come to be known as Titanus Baragora. Three months later, Titanus Baphomet is discovered beneath the ruins of Volubilis in Morocco, Outpost 68 is built in the area. The ruins were destroyed when the Titan Baphomet awakened. Five months after the discovery of Baphomet, the Titan Sargon is discovered beneath the Devils Tower within Wyoming in the United States. Outpost 77 is later built in the area. The Devils Tower is destroyed when Sargon is awakened by Monster Zero.
51 years ago (1999): The Titanus Jinshin-Mushi species were discovered in the Philippines in after a mining operation unknowingly drilled into a cave containing two pods that were attached to a member of the Titanus Gojira species's skeleton, something which killed the creature, based upon the Jinshin-Mushi's parasitic behavior. One of the pods had already hatched, likely after being disturbed by the cave collapsing, with the other one being unhatched. The unhatched pod was taken by order of the United States government to the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Depository in Nevada.
The Jinshin-Mushi which had previously hatched was later discovered to have burrowed it's way to the Janjira nuclear power plant in Japan, where it caused the plant to collapse from underneath, destroying the power plant and forcing the area to be evacuated due to a radiation leak. Despite the destruction of the plant, the Titan attached itself to the reactor and entered a cocoon-like state, absorbing all the radiation from the surrounding area. Upon discovering the dormant Titan, Outpost 17 was established in the area. Nine months later, Titanus Behemoth is discovered within a cavern in the Tingua Preserve in Brazil. Outpost 58 was then built on the edge of the preserve.
48 years ago (2002): The Beerenberg Stratovolcano, located in the northeastern end of the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen erupted, with a Titanus Baragora emerging from the top. The Titan appeared to be passive, curious even, not harming anyone throughout the time in which it was awake. Twelve hours later, Baragon reentered the volcano and appeared to enter hibernation. Outpost 52 was later constructed around the Stratovolcano. Six months later, the Titan Tiamat is discovered beneath the Stone Mountain within the city of the same name in Georgia. Outpost 53 is then built in the area. The Stone Mountain was turned to rubble when Tiamat was awakened by Monster Zero.
45 years ago (2005): The Titan Ebirah is discovered within the Marianas Trench. Outpost 85 is built in Guam, with it not being built inside the trench due to Ebirah's hostile nature. Eight months later the Titan Mokele-Mbembe is discovered within the Jebel Barkal mountain in Sudan. Outpost 75 is built nearby. The Jebel Barkal mountain is later destroyed when Mokele-Mbembe was awakened by Monster Zero. Eleven months after discovery of Mokele-Mbembe, the Titan Quetzalcoatl is discovered beneath the Machu Peachu ruins within Peru. The ruins are destroyed when Quetzalcoatl is awakened by Monster Zero.
41 years ago (2009): A team led by Monarch scientist Dr. Emma Russell followed a strange bio-acoustic signature to a previously undiscovered megalithic temple in the high-altitude jungles of China's Yunnan province within Asia. A giant cocoon belonging to the Titanus Mosura was found within the temple, with a rapid heartbeat detected inside the cocoon. Outpost 61 was then built in the immediate vicinity. The Titanus Mosura would often be referred to as Mothra by the local staff, which would become it's classification. Seven months later, the Titan Amhuluk is discovered beneath the Manpupuner Rock Formations within Russia. Outpost 66 is then built in the area. The rock formations are destroyed when Amhuluk is awakened by Monster Zero.
36 years ago (2014): Both Titanus Jinshin-Mushi emerged from their pods, and were given the designation of MUTO by the US military. Both were eventually killed by Godzilla in San Francisco. Four months later, the Titan Typhon is discovered beneath the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. Outpost 92 is soon built in the area. The Angkor Wat temple is reduced to rubble when Typhon was awakened by Monster Zero. G-Team, the military branch of Monarch is founded. One month later, the Titan Abaddon is discovered beneath of Devils Tower in Wyoming, and Outpost 77 is built one mile north of it. The national monument is reduced to rubble when Abaddon was awakened by Monster Zero.
34 years ago (2016): A golden hydra like creature is discovered in the antarctic. Dr. Vivienne Graham leads the effort to build Outpost 32 around the dormant creature, which was given the designation of Monster Zero. Her classified field notes contain a mysterious footnote: "The devil has three heads." One month later, A dormant Titanus Jinshin-Mushi is discovered beneath a strip mall in Hoboken, New Jersey. Outpost 59 is built in the area after. The western portion of the mountain undergoes a landslide when the Jinshin-Mushi is awakened by Monster Zero.
33 years ago (2017): A second hydra like Titan of similar appearance to Monster Zero is discovered within the Himalayas, and Outpost 47 was constructed around the titan, the species of which was given the classification of Titanus Ghidorah Secundus. Six months later, the Titan Yamata No Orochi is discovered within the Mt. Fuji volcano in Japan. Outpost 91 is later built in the area. The volcano erupts when Yamata No Orochi is awakened by Monster Zero. One month later, the Titan Maguma is discovered within Antarctica, and from that point onward Outpost 32 would have the dual task of overseeing both Monster Zero and Maguma.
31 years ago (2019): Mothra emerges from it's cocoon, and although aggressive at first is promptly calmed through the use of the Orca device. Outpost 61 is then stormed and taken over by eco-terrorists led by Alan Jonah, whom later has a hand in the release of Monster Zero and Rodan. After a brief battle with Godzilla near the Isle De Mara volcano, Monster Zero then proceeds to sound out an echolocation across the planet which awakens numerous titans. Monster Zero would be killed by Godzilla in Boston after Monster Zero killed a recently Metamorphosed Mothra. Another Titanus Mosura egg was discovered two months later.
30 years ago (2020): Kong did not answer Monster Zero's call, and simply stayed on Skull Island, preventing the Skullcrawlers from escaping. Godzilla traveled to Skull Island to try and defeat Kong and make him accept him as the alpha. These events were interrupted by the interference of Alan Jonah, who released the Titanus Ghidorah Secundus which afterwards metamorphosed into the same form as Monster Zero as a response to the previous ones demise. All Titans then began to converge on Skull Island, however the new Ghidorah was defeated before most of them arrived by Godzilla and Kong. The two seemed to make peace afterwards, both inhabiting opposite sides of the island. The remains of Monster Zero also disappears.
Most Titans begin inhabiting the island, with those that do not being those that either have yet to awaken or refuse to answer Godzilla's call. Most Outposts are dismantled and have their resources poured into Outpost 33's. Due to it's high number of Titans, the staff began to refer to the island as Monster Island. G-Team receives global funding by governments worldwide, and is reorganized into the GDF (Global Defense Force) and is also granted further international authority. Mechanical Titans, created for the purpose of combating their organic counterparts and existing before only as designs begin construction, it would be many years however before one is completed.
29 years ago (2021): The Titanus Gyaos species is discovered in an archipelago off the coast of Japan in a mining incident, and the local Gyaos are quickly destroyed by the Titan Gamera before significant damage occurs. Continued survival of species confirmed by eggs belonging to species in underground caverns across Eurasia.
26 years ago (2024): The city of Brasilia collapses into a sinkhole, with a large beetle like Titan coming out, and numerous smaller beetle like creatures accompanying it. The smaller creatures appeared to be intelligent, possessing their own language which seems to consist of clicking noises and carrying ballistic guns. They were quadrupedal, with a third pair of arms holding the weapon, and relied on their carapace it absorb damage. The Titan was given the designation of Titanus Megalon. They would later be driven back underground by Godzilla, along with Baragon, GDF forces, and an early prototype for the M.O.G.U.E.R.A. mech. But not before taking large numbers of humans to use for unknown purposes. Megalon was later reported to have survived the invasion.
Expeditions underground to retrieve still living humans have been attempted, but so far the supposed city of Seatopia has yet to be found, if it even exists. The beetle species received the designation of 'Seatopians' after connections were made between them and a race of 'man sized beetles' which have appeared in records across history. The likelihood of the Gyaos being bred as weapons of war by Seatopians has been considered by the GDF leadership.
25 years ago (2025): Titanus Dagahra discovered within the Mindanao trench, but still in a state of hibernation. Alan Jonah is killed during a GDF covert attack. Confirmed to be shot to death whilst on a toilet. Designs for a 'Mecha Ghidorah' along with large amounts of Seatopian technology is discovered, along with the remains of the second Ghidorah, which disappeared during the chaos caused by the Seatopian invasion. All discovered items are obtained by the GDF. It was believed that he planned to revive the second Ghidorah using Seatopian technology which may have given it an edge against Godzilla. The Titanus Zilla species is first encountered in an attack on New York, with the only adult Zilla present later being killed by Gamera one week after it initially appeared.
The Titan was later discovered to be female and to have laid eggs, all but one of the eggs were later destroyed by a GDF strike team. After killing the parent this egg was then taken by Gamera, but not destroyed.
23 years ago (2027): Titanus Tyran and Titanus Manda are both discovered within the bottom of the Tonga trench by the first a Monarch research team, with them being found whilst in the middle of a battle. Both Titans live through the battle, as Tyran retreats and Manda chases after the submarine. Outpost 76 is built within the cliff side of the trench, with it remaining there due to Tyran and Manda both being relatively less hostile than Ebirah, and are more interested in fighting each other. Outpost 76 still remains the most difficult Outpost to maintain, and one of the most dangerous. Both Titans inhabit opposite sides of the Tonga trench, with Manda inhabiting the northern end, and Tyran inhabiting the southern end.
Since 2027, both Titans have fought each other on four separate occasions and have yet to eliminate either, the frequency of these fights also suggest that both Titans possess a deep hatred for one another. Manda has since been seen to have had several encounters with Godzilla, with each encounter ending without hostility. In fact, they appear to become incredibly docile in each others presence. It is around these times that Tyran has a large decline in hostility with Manda, likely out of a desire to not antagonize Godzilla.
22 years ago (2028): The first invasion by the extraterrestrials, referring to themselves as the Vortaak, occurs. A species of eight foot tall humanoids with grey skin, completely black eyes, thin body proportions, and pointed ears. A large number of Titans begin rampaging across the world, including several new ones such as Gigan. Conflict eventually resolves with Godzilla doing significant damage to primary Vortaak vessel which is forced to retreat. The incidient provides inspiration for the Mechagodzilla design due to the existence of the Vortaak mech. The Possibility that the Vortaak have been observing the Godzilla for a significant period of time is likely. Megalon also disappears from Seatopian control.
21 years ago (2029): Meganulon species reemerges, appearing during mining operations in the Kitamatsu village, within the Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan. Titanus Megaguirus appears one month after initial emergence, and attacks Osaka before being destroyed by Godzilla, Rodan, and a new Zilla which is significantly less inimical to Human life than the previous one. Meganulon species continues to exist in underground areas across Asia regardless. Five months later, Mechagodzilla Mark 2 and Mecha Kong both finishes construction. Designing of Gotengo-Class Battleships begins, assisted by using captured and reverse engineered Vortaak technology, with the intention of being used against Titans as a cheaper alternative to mechs.
20 years ago (2030): Vortaak Earth invade Earth for a second time. Monster Zero is sighted and under Vortaak control, as well as two never before seen Titans. One of them is similar to the Titanus Gojira species and is given the designation of Titanus Gojira Secundus, and the other is a Titan that is given the designation of Titanus Orga. Mechagodzilla M2 is deployed by GDF along with M.O.G.U.E.R.A. and Mecha Kong against Vortaak forces and monsters and perform admirably. Conflict resolves with retreat of Vortaak from Earth. Further Vortaak technology is recovered, and is used to upgrade existing mechs and assist in construction of ones in the process of being built.
15 years ago (2035): A brief conflict between Godzilla and Varan occurs, and after a one sided battle Varan is defeated but survives the encounter.
10 years ago (2040): Former Japanese Admiral turned GDF Commander Gyozen attempts to combat Godzilla using the Gotengo-Class Battleship Atoragon, this attempt ended in his defeat and the ships entire crew being killed, with him as the only survivor. Afterwards, Gyozen falls into a deep depression over what occurred and descends into alcoholism, blaming both himself for his failure and Godzilla for the act of killing the Atoragon's crew, which had previously never failed in combat against Titans. The battle results in a large portion of funding being withdrawn from the production of Gotengo-Class Battleships, and being transferred over to the upgrading and production of mechs.
5 year ago (2045): Mecha Ghidorah finishes construction.
3 year ago (2047): Mechagodzilla M3 finishes construction.
