Chapter 1: Genesis
More than 4.5 Billion Years Ago
Near the dawn of existence billions of years ago, Earth and the rest of the solar system were entirely unrecognizable, existing only as an enormous cloud of dust, gas, and True Ether.
A mysterious occurrence like the hand of God disturbed that dust cloud, causing it to pull together. This formed a spinning disc of gas and dust called a solar nebula. The faster the cloud spun, the more the dust and gas concentrated at the center, further fueling the speed of the nebula.
Over time, the gravity at the center of the cloud became so intense that particles began to move more rapidly and violently. The material began fusing and releasing massive amounts of energy. Finally, the young sun was born.
As the remaining cloud cooled, little grains of minerals formed. All these little grains floating in this gaseous cloud moved around the sun and started colliding. The particles immediately began to stick to each other, forming little clumps. As mineral grains in the solar dust made contact and stuck together, they grew into small pieces of rock orbiting the sun. Over the next few million years, some collided and grew bigger.
Gradually, billions of these rocks grew as they orbited the sun, first to the size of boulders, then as big as houses. And they kept on growing. When an object reached about half a mile across, its gravitational pull became strong enough to draw other objects towards it.
Of the vast number of objects going around the sun, one had to be the biggest. And as soon as it gets bigger than the others, it's sweeping up more material. The bigger it was, the faster it grew, and the faster it grew, the more gravity it got, which pulled in more objects.
That biggest object was the fledgling Earth. Soon, the young planet had so much gravitational pull that it began attracting bigger objects. As they crashed onto its surface, the Earth's size increased with every impact. The bombardment was so intense that it only took about 30 million years for the planet to grow to almost its present size. The young Earth was made of billions of pieces of rock randomly stuck together.
However, soon after it formed, the Earth completely melted. As the Earth incorporated hot radioactive elements floating in space, it began to heat the rocks around it. Eventually, these hot radioactive elements melt the Earth from the inside out.
The denser elements sank down through to the very core of the Earth, and the lighter elements floated at the top. The gravitational pull dragged the heavy metals to form the core and separated the rest of the planet into layers.
Only 30 million years after it began to form, the Earth had become a giant round ball of boiling liquid rock and metal orbiting the sun.
It was a molten world with molten magma oceans. No dry land anywhere. Just flowing lava everywhere. The temperature of the molten earth was now a staggering 2,000 degrees in contrast to the vacuum of space. The surface rock could not stay molten for long.
It cooled from the outside in. It begins to crust over. Scabs of cooled rock floated on the molten material below. Earth's surface was covered in a thin crust in less than a million years. But volcanoes still spewed out lava and choking gases. Meteorites rained down in a constant bombardment.
In the tumultuous throes of its infancy, the surface of the primordial Earth is chaotic. Molten rock flows across the surface of the young planet in rivers of fire. These rivers carve deep channels into the nascent crust, leaving behind a landscape pockmarked with fiery scars. Lightning crackled in the tumultuous skies while volcanoes erupted with fury, spewing forth gases and ash.
It seemed insignificant when a stray bolt of lightning struck a pillar of lava rock. However, the pillar and the surrounding molten pools of lava stirred. Slowly, cracks in the rocky crust formed. Lakes of lava moved.
Something emerged from the seething depths of a particularly turbulent pool of radioactive magma. The earlier pillar of rock began to rise as more and more lightning bolts struck its highest point.
An entity rose from the fiery depths in a plume of red dust. Its massive form was shrouded in billowing clouds of steam and ash. Towering over the landscape on powerful legs, it resembled a bipedal lizard forged from the pure essence of the Planet, jagged scales gleaming with the molten glow of the magma from which it had emerged.
As it emerged from the pool, it shook its colossal head, sending rivulets of lava cascading down its armored hide.
With each step, the primal ground trembled beneath its massive weight. Its hot and sulfurous breath mingled with the acrid scent of the volcanic fumes that permeated the air.
Its eyes, glowing with intensity, surveyed its surroundings with intelligence. Its gaze went past the ashen clouds and towards the other rocky planets, also going through similar formations, but it was the first to emerge.
A thunderous roar echoed across the barren planet.
SKREEEEEEEEOOOONK!
Thus began the Age of Kaiju.
Thus began the Age of Gods and Monsters.
Thus began the reign of Godzilla Type-Earth.

What Kaiju do you want to see incorporated in the Nasuverse?
