Editing Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (section)

==Plot==
Two years after his battle with [[Biollante]],{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'' (1989).}} [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] is still weakened after being infected by the ANEB (Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria). Meanwhile, science fiction author Kenichiro Terasawa is writing a book about the monster and learns of a group of [[Imperial Japanese Army|Japanese soldiers]] stationed on Lagos Island during the [[Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign]]. In 1944, while threatened by [[United States Armed Forces|American forces]], the Japanese soldiers were saved by a mysterious dinosaur, Godzillasaurus, which Terasawa theorizes was subsequently mutated into the first Godzilla in 1954 after a [[Castle Bravo|hydrogen bomb test]] on the island.{{efn|As depicted in the 1954 [[Godzilla (1954 film)|self-titled film]].}} Yasuaki Shindo, a wealthy businessman and army veteran who commanded the Lagos Garrison, confirms that Godzillasaurus did indeed exist.

Meanwhile, a [[Unidentified flying object|UFO]] named MOTHER lands near [[Mount Fuji]]. When the [[Japan Self-Defense Forces|JSDF]] investigates, it is revealed that MOTHER is in fact a [[time machine]] and they are greeted by the Futurians Wilson, Grenchiko, Emmy Kano, and the [[Android (robot)|android]] M-11. The Futurians explain that they are from the year 2204, where Godzilla has completely destroyed Japan. The Futurians plan to travel back in time to 1944 and remove Godzillasaurus from Lagos Island before the island is irradiated, thus preventing the mutation of the creature into the first Godzilla. As proof of their story, Emmy presents a copy of Terasawa's book, which has not yet been completed in the present.

The Futurians, Terasawa, [[Miki Saegusa]], and Professor Mazaki, board MOTHER's time machine, KIDS, and travel back to 1944 to Lagos Island. There, as American forces land and engage the Japanese forces commanded by Shindo, Godzillasaurus attacks and kills the American soldiers. The [[United States Navy|U.S. Navy]] then uses a detachment of warships to bombard Godzillasaurus from the sea and gravely wounds it. After Shindo and his men leave the island, M-11 uses KIDS to teleport Godzillasaurus from Lagos Island to the [[Bering Strait]]. Before returning to 1992, the Futurians secretly leave three genetic-engineered dragons called [[King Ghidorah#Heisei era (1991–1998)|Dorats]] on Lagos Island, which are exposed to radiation from the hydrogen bomb test in 1954 and merge to become [[King Ghidorah]]. After returning to 1992, the Futurians use Ghidorah to subjugate Japan and issue an ultimatum, but Japan refuses to surrender.

Feeling sympathy for the Japanese people, Emmy reveals to Terasawa the truth behind the Futurians' mission: in the [[23rd century]], Japan is an economic [[superpower]] that has surpassed the [[United States]], [[Russia]], and [[China]], and even bought out the entirety of [[South America]] and [[Africa]]. The Futurians traveled back in time in order to change history and prevent Japan's future economic dominance by creating Ghidorah and using it to destroy present-day Japan. At the same time, they also planned to erase Godzilla from history so that he would not pose a threat to their plans. After M-11 brings Emmy back to MOTHER, she reprograms the android so it will help her.

Shindo plans to send his nuclear submarine to the Bering Strait and irradiate Godzillasaurus in order to recreate Godzilla. However, Terasawa discovers too late that a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] nuclear submarine sank there in the 1970s and released enough radiation to mutate Godzillasaurus into Godzilla.{{efn|As depicted in ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'' (1984).}} En route to the Bering Strait, Shindo's submarine is destroyed by Godzilla, who absorbs its radiation, recovers from the ANEB and becomes larger. Godzilla arrives in Japan and is met by Ghidorah. They fight at equal strength, each immune to the other's attacks. With M-11 and Terasawa's aid, Emmy sabotages MOTHER's control over Ghidorah, causing Ghidorah to lose focus during the battle. Godzilla eventually ends the battle by blasting off Ghidorah's middle head. Before sending wounded Ghidorah crashing into the [[Sea of Okhotsk]], Godzilla destroys MOTHER, killing Wilson and Grenchiko, and then turns his ire on Japan by attacking [[Sapporo]] to Tokyo, where he kills Shindo in the process.

Emmy travels to the future with M-11 and returns to the present day with Mecha-King Ghidorah, a [[cyborg]] version of Ghidorah. Ghidorah blasts Godzilla with beams, which proves useless. Godzilla then counters by relentlessly blasting Ghidorah with his atomic breath before Ghidorah launches clamps to restrain Godzilla. Ghidorah carries Godzilla out of Japan, but Godzilla breaks from its restraints and causes Ghidorah to send both crashing into the ocean, killing Ghidorah in the process. Emmy then returns to the future with M-11 in KIDS, but not before informing Terasawa that she is his descendant.

At the bottom of the ocean, Godzilla roars over Ghidorah's remains.
