The King of Monsters.
That is what the world has called him. He went by many titles. The superheroes and villains had their own names and titles for him.
Old Fossil. G-Man. Mr. G. Stubborn lizard/dinosaur. Though this is what the younger heroes have called him. The last one was a nickname John Constatine, Sam Wilson/The Falcon and Bucky Barnes had called him given that he had refused to walk away from a fight with his tail in between his legs. Oh no, he rarely walked away from a fight.
General Ross had called him some rather inappropriate names whenever he was fighting him.
The Wakandans had called him, Akoyiki igong'qongqo. Fearless dragon. Raven of the Teen Titans and the Ghost Riders had called him the Bane of Mephisto and Trigon's existence. Captain America, Superman and Wonder Woman had called him the Earth's Best Defender.
The demons called him the new Ruler of the Underworld. The Asgardians feared him, and few had challenged him to test their own might. Other alien races had known him as the Destroyer of Apokolips and Titan. The Defeater of Galactus.
The Kaiju themselves had given him titles.
Most called him King.
King Kong and Gamera once called him Enemy but now called him Friend.
Anguirus, Biollante, Rodan and SpaceGodzilla had called him Brother.
Mothra called him ally. Friend. Though some would say that was debatable after they were once turned into human Kaiju hybrids.
Minilla, Athena and Godzilla Junior called him Father.
A few feared him for his tremendous power. Many hated him for the destruction he caused. But one way or the other, Gojira was respected by all.

Subject: The King's Reign is Over
At 0900 hours, the United Nations attacked Godzilla in a joint operation at Bikini Atoll in the South Pacific and used the weapon codenamed Dimension Tide to kill the Kaiju.
I feel. . . guilty as my fellow JLA members for allowing the operation to commence. Godzilla had battled by our side along with the Avengers and the other superhero teams when the situation had called for it. From Jean Grey and Professor X, we had learned his origins and his motives.
He had viewed our race to be arrogant and destructive. Greedy and selfish parasites and that we thought we owned our piece of land. Do everything we could and ignore the consequences. Captain Rogers, Diana, Peter Parker, Thor, and Clark Kent had sent out to change his perspective. To show that all humans were what he thought.
I suppose that's why I feel guilty. We failed to prove him wrong. We will hold a funeral with the other hero teams at Monster Island. He was the last of his kind, a relic of time forgotten, he deserves to be honored like the King he was. I hope he does not hate us. And I hope that wherever he is, he may finally find peace.
Batman signing off.
Monster Island
Three days after Operation Dethrone The King
An old S.H.E.I.L.D. Hellicarrier was pushed off the shore of the island by Anguirus and Zilla, sprayed across its deck was the skeleton of a Gojiran Kaiju. If a stranger were to see it, they'd say that it was the skeleton of Godzilla. But they'd be wrong. This was a skeleton used in the Japanese Defense Force's most powerful mechanical Gojiran clone.
This was Kiryu.
"May the Valkyrie welcome you," Thor declared out loud from where he stood along with the Avengers, X-Men, Justice League, Dr. Strange, John Constantine and other superheroes like the Justice Society, a handful of Power Rangers, Teen Titans with the Bat Clan and members of the JDF like Captain Douglas Gordon, Akane Yashiro, Ozaki and Kazama with Miki Saegusa, Dr. Nick Tatopulus and his H.E.A.T. team. Around them were the Kaiju residents. Athena. Godzilla Junior. Minilla. Rodan. King Cesar. Baragon. Varan. Manda. King Kong. Gorosaurus. Titanosaurus. Battra. Mothra Leo. Sanda. Gaira. Kumonga. Kamarucas. Biollante. SpaceGodzilla. Komodoithrax. Gamera. Mothra. "And lead you across Odin's great battle field."
Far behind the gathered heroes, on top of a nearby hill stood Magneto and his Brotherhood, the Mad Titan Thanos with his Black Order, Darkseid and his own Order, Dr. Doom, Rita Repulsa, Gigan, Megalon, Monster X, Krystalak, Obsidius, Megaguirus and her hive and a handful of Skull Crawlers. "May they sing your name with love and fury so that we may hear it rise from the depths of Valhalla."
Zilla and Anguirus pushed the old Hellicarrier out to sea before the iguana Kaiju set the Hellicarrier on fire. "And that you have taken your rightful place at the Table of Kings. For a magnificent creature, a great man has fallen."
"A warrior." Tommy Oliver declared.
"A ruler," Dr. Doom murmured.
"A King." Diana stated.
"A Survivor." Logan muttered.
"A Soldier." Steve Rogers said.
"A father," Athena, Junior and Minilla said.
Mothra silently held up her hands before her and rang her finger over the ring on her finger.
"A friend." said Gamera and King Kong.
"A Brother." Anguirus, Rodan, King Cesar, SpaceGodzilla and Biollante declared.
The Hellicarrier began to sink with the skeleton of Kiryu beneath the waves. Mothra flew up and circled around the location, leaving a magical seal over the location.
Hopefully, the humans will leave Kiryu alone this time.
If Godzilla was here, he'd ask one thing.
Where was Peter Parker?
He was the Destroyer and Conqueror of thousands of planets in the universe. King Ghidorah was known, feared and hated by every civilization across the stars. And yet, all but one planet proved to be VERY difficult to conquer. Earth. The first time he came to this mud ball, it was during the Age of Dinosaurs and he battled against Darkseid who wanted the planet for himself. Their battles wiped out the dinosaurs and they were both driven off the planet by Odin, the Olympians, the Divine Moth, a few Green Lanterns aided by the armies of Amazons, Atlanteans and humans.
So he waited to come back. And he did after the Olympians were extinct, the Amazons forced to an island they cannot leave and the Atlanteans went undersea, the humans divided their race.
It should have been easy with Odin back in Asgard, and yet the Golden Terror came face to face with the killer of the Olympian gods himself. And no matter what, the Kaiju always driven Ghidorah away in retreat.
What was more insulting was that he was not natural like the Divine Moth. He was a mutant. A freak of nature. It should not have been possible. And yet nearly sixty years of rivalry said otherwise when it came to King Ghidorah's history with Godzilla.
"He's not dead."
King Ghidorah shook his head, scoffing in a dismissive manner when word traveled from Earth that Godzilla was killed by the humans. "That freak of nature's too stubborn to be killed by some man made black hole."
After everything, all the battles and wars King Ghidorah and Godzilla raged against one another across time, across space, across the Multiverse and even in the realms of Heaven and Hell, the Golden Terror absolutely, downright REFUSED to believe for one second that his greatest rival was killed by some black hole.
"But my Lord, there's no trace of him." Goldar, Rita Repulsa's servant and her second in command spoke to him. "Not even the Kryptonians or the Divine Moth could find a body."
Ghidorah growled and turned to Hela, the goddess of Death. "Do you have his soul in Helheim?" he asked.
Hela slowly shook her head. "Then he's not dead." Ghidorah declared.
"But-" Goldar tried to protest before Ghidorah's left head lunged forward and grabbed him by the throat.
"He. Is. Not. Dead." King Ghidorah said angrily and firmly. He threw the golden being across his throne room.
Funny how Godzilla's arch nemesis believed with every fiber of his being that the Saurian Kaiju was not dead when everyone else was.
"Well," the Loki variant of He Who Remains spoke up from within the Multiverse Void. "Let's show them what really happened. And beyond."
"Oh good, I'm sure the Author is tired of all this build up," Deadpool declared. "And the Readers are probably bored reading all of this boring exposition and world building."
He's not wrong.
"Let's get this started," Deadpool said, clapping his hands.
And so, the god of Time and Stories grabbed every single person that interacted with Godzilla, friend and enemy alike, and put them in a large movie theater.
What could go wrong?
The Avengers. Tony Stark. Steve Rogers. Clint Barton. Natasha Romanoff. Bruce Banner. Thor. Carol Danvers. Scot Lang with his daughter, Hope Van Dyne, Hank Pyme, Janet Van Dyne, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Wanda Maximoff with her brother Pietro and Vision. King T'Challa with Princess Shuri.
The Justice League. Clark Kent with his wife Lois and their sons and Kara Danvers (No relation to Carol Danvers.), Bruce Wayne, Arthur Curry, Jon J'onzz, Barry Allen, Oliver Queen, Dinah Lance, Wally West, John Stewart, Hal Jordan, Diana Prince with Billy Batson.

And
(Snap fingers.)
"What the Hell is this?!" was the general reaction of everyone, superhero and supervillian when they appeared in a large. . . movie theater? The Kaiju had the same reaction but not in words.
"How the fuck did we get here?!" very few others exclaimed.
"Watch your language, Jason!" said one Steve Rogers.
"I'm a grown ass man, Rogers! I can say what I want!" defiantly retorted Jason Todd/Red Hood.
"Master Jason, watch your tone." sternly spoke a certain butler.
"Sorry, Alfred." Jason lowered his head.
"Aw man, where's my coffee?"
"Batsy! Long time no see!"
"Joker?!"
"And Harley too! Ta-da!"
"I am Groot!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Everyone! Everyone!" Nick Fury spoke up from where he was. "Everyone, calm-"
"Silence!" cried out Mothra in her human form, her antenna glowing and everyone fell silent at the Queen's command.
"Thank you for doing that, Princess," King Ghidorah said in a sarcastic tone. "I was just considering vaporizing every enemy I see."
Mothra turned around and narrowed her blue eyes at the Golden Terror. "Ghidorah. It's been a while." she stated coldly. "I was hoping we saw the last of your ugly mug back at Xandar."
The three headed golden Dragon Kaiju laughed mockingly in response. "It's delusional to think you and your King's actions had any consequences." Each of his six eyes landed on Godzilla Junior, Athena, Mothra Leo and Minilla.
"Ah, the four royal children," he greeted, each of his lips curling in a sadistic and sinister smile. "My, my. Look how much you've all grown."
Athena narrowed her eyes and she bared her fangs as did Junior. But then Minilla shouted to Ghidorah, "Go fuck yourself, you three headed ugly motherfucker!"
Ghidorah laughed in response. "The correct term is sister fucker, young one." he said mockingly before being blasted in the face by four Atomic Breath beams.
"Children, not now." Mothra said to the Kaiju children sternly. "We need to know where we are."
"Well, if my knowledge is correct," Steven Grant spoke up, raising his hand. "This looks like an expensive American movie theater that is designed to hold every one of us, including the Kaiju."
He brought up a good point. The theater was very, very big for a theater to the point it dwarfed the tallest Kaiju in the room.
"Who designed this?" Tony Stark asked. ". . . I'd like to make a contract for their work."
"That would be the Author really." said a voice. One that the X-Men and the Avengers recognized instantly.
"Oh no. . ." Logan and Laura muttered.
"Who said that?" Mothra asked.
"I'm glad you asked," Loki spoke up from his throne. "He's been waiting for this."
"Loki?!" exclaimed Thor.
"Introducing. . ." said a familiar anti-hero that had an epic introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe along with Wolverine as he slid on the stage before the entire crowd. "Wade Wilson! Deadpool! Ryan Reynolds version!" he declared in the spotlight as he puts on a top hat and he tap dances in place.
Everyone stared while Logan facepalmed and sighed heavily.
.
.
.
". . . Who the Hell is that?!" was all King Ghidorah asked in genuine confusion.
"What? Seriously, three headed Benedict Cumberbatch?" Deadpool asked Ghidorah. "You don't remember the handsome guy that shot a couple of RPGs down your throat in the Kill the Marvel Universe series?"
"Many, many people have done something like that to me over the years," replied the three headed golden Dragon Kaiju. "Can you narrow it down?"
"Oh sure! It was when me, the Punisher, Red Hood, and the Hulk with Lobo were given the task to destroy this Marvel-DC-Toho-Power Rangers-Pacific Rim fused universe to get ready for the 52 reboot." Deadpool replied. "Which was a success. Except Lobo managed to keep his original design. Which is a good idea since his New 52 design is cursed. I think I tried to kill you with Oxygen Destroyer missiles during Issue Number-"
"Wade, you're getting off track," Loki said as he was getting hugged by Thor. He tried to pull away from his brother but the god of thunder had a tight grip. "Brother, you can loosen your grip." he said to Thor who seemed to tighten his hug. "Brother?" he wheezed.
"As the saying goes in Midgard, Loki," Thor said, a tear falling from his eye. "I'm getting real tired of your shit." He finally lets go of him.
Loki coughed and gasped for air while rubbing his neck. "Deadpool, continue."
"Oh right. We're in a reaction fic." Deadpool said before clearing his throat. "People of this Marvel-DC-Toho-Power Rangers-Pacific Rim fused world, He Who Remains and I, Marvel Jesus have brought you all here to watch one of the wildest dreams you can only think of when you are high on cocaine with zero fucks on what people think."
"What is he on about?" Rocket asked Drax and Star-Lord who shrugged their shoulders.
"Yet the plot, the action all works out," Deadpool went on. "Big CGI fights, Michael Bay explosions, characters designed for porngraphy, well written interactions of characters from different franchises that have never met, with four big bad evil villains that done justice. Especially Frank Walker and the TMNT villain. Those two are never done right in live action films."
"Get to the fucking point, Wade," Logan said, ignoring how Jean Grey and Professor Xavier scolded him for his language. "The more you act all dramatic, I'm getting more of a headache."
"You are all here to watch Kaiju Girls 'Meet a Real King of Monsters in a New World!" Deadpool declared dramatically. "Book One!
.
.
.
.
". . . What?" asked Morgan Stark in utter confusion.
Deadpool faltered with the sound of a record scratching to a halt and he saw that not a single person in the crowd understood a word he said.
This is what happens when you act all dramatic.
"Hey, zip it, you Keanu Reeves knock off." Deadpool snapped to the Author. "You were the one who gave me the fucking script."
And I'm pretty sure I didn't write what you described the Kaiju Girls.
"Am I wrong?" Deadpool asked.
. . . No. Not really.
"Exactly." Deadpool nodded his head.
. . . Hold the phone, Green Lantern.
"HOW DARE YOU!"
Can it, Pikachu. I'm pretty sure I'm not using the traditional Kaiju Girl designs though.
"Wait, really?" Deadpool asked.
Yeah, I think. Actually, I don't think I explicitly said what their design is.
"You should change that. I'm sure there are some pervs that would love to-"
"Deadpool, focus!" Loki snapped before sighing. "You know what? Fine, I'll handle this. I don't know why I agreed to let you do the introduction."
Loki clapped his hands. "Now, we're all here to watch the multiversal adventure of one male, adult Godzilla."
"There, why didn't you just say that?" Nightwing asked Deadpool.
". . . I thought the script I was given needed more pizzazz." the Merc with a Mouth replied.
"And that's why you're God's Perfect Idiot." Logan shook his head.
"How dare you!"
"Moving on," Loki said. "Everyone take your seats, either alone with your friends or allies. Dr. Doom, Darkseid, Hela, Thanos, King Ghidorah, Gigan, Megalon, Krysalak, Obsidius, Megaguirus, Goldar, Rita Repulsa, Lobo, Lex Luthor, Joker, Black Order, Monster X, all of you sit on the left side of the theater. Avengers, Justice League, Fantastic Four, Justice Society, X-Men, Teen Titans, Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, H.E.A.T. Team, Power Rangers, Jaeger Pilots, Monster Island Kaiju, you lot can sit on the right side of the room. Please, no fighting in the theater, if you feel the urge to fight, go to the gym and training room down the hall."
"Hold on a second," Yondu Udonta spoke up. "What about snacks and beverages? Can't watch jack shit without snacks and beverages."
Suddenly a bottle of whiskey appeared above him and landed square between his forehead. "Ow! Fuck!"
"Just think of what you want and it will appear," Loki explained. "Yondu was just hit because of his crude language."
"More like the Author wanted a laugh." Deadpool said.
He ain't wrong.
Now the assembled Watchers went to sit where Loki had told them.
The Stark family sat together in a family sofa with the colors red and gold. Rhodey sat in a grey armchair on the right of Tony and Happy Hogan sat in a black armchair next to Pepper.
Bruce Banner sat on a green and purple sofa with Betty Ross while his cousin Jennifer sat next to Anguirus who took his human form to sit next to her.
Steve, Bucky and Sam sat on a blue red and white sofa with another sofa shaped like an L used by Natasha, Yelena, Melina, Aleksei and Clint sat with his family sat in an identical sofa with Kate Bishop.
Wanda and Vision sat together. The Guardians (Peter, Gamora, Drax and Mantis) sat together in one long sofa with Rocket sitting on a chair that resembled his favorite seat on his ship. Groot sat on a bean bag and played on his video game. Yondu sat on a luxurious chair with his legs kicked out while Nebula chose to sit on the floor close to her sister.
Alfred and the Bat Clan sat close together on a family sofa compressed of Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Duke Thomas, Luke Fox, Barbara Gordon, Stephanie Brown, Kate Kane, Cassandra Caine, Ace the Bat Hound, Alfred the Cat and Bat-Cow. (Yes, they have a cow.)
Clark Kent, Lois and their kids sat close with Kara by as did Diana Prince, Arthur Curry, the two Flashes sat together with their families.
The Fantastic Four sat together while the X-Men and mutant students took up multiple chairs and sofas.
Thor and Loki sat on thrones, one identical to the one Thor sat while Loki sat on his Time throne, Sif and the Warriors Three sat near by on Asgardian chairs with Queen Frigga and Odin.
The assembled Power Rangers sat with Raleigh and Mako Beckett and Captain Douglas Gordon sat in a chair identical to the one he has on the Gotengo with Ozaki, Kazama, Miki and Dr. Tatopulous sitting with his H.E.A.T team.
Lex Luthor and Mercy sat together on chairs identical to the ones in his office as did General Ross, Direct Fury, Maria Hill, Sharon Carter, Phil Coulson and Amanda Waller.
Carol Danvers sat beside Rodan who also took up his human form.
Zilla Junior laid down beside his mate Komodoithrax like two cats or dogs. (Lizards really.) Next to them were Godzilla Junior, Athena and Minilla. Gamera, Biollante and SpaceGodzilla sat together in their human forms along with Mothra and her son Leo.
Dr. Doom, Darkseid and Thanos sat on their respective thrones, their Orders and Generals standing beside them while Ghidorah took his human form and sat on a throne that looked like the Iron Throne from the TV show Game of Thrones.
The sorcerers and wizards, Dr. Strange, Wong, Zantanna, John Constantine all sat together with their respective drinks.
"Are we really going along with what these two have planned?" Dr. Strange asked John Constantine.
"Got anywhere else to be?" Constantine asked in response.
"And here we go," the Joker said much like the Heath Ledger variant.
And the screen turned on.
So, how was that?
Enjoy my world building?
