Destroy All Monsters

At the close of the 20th century, Earth's monsters are gathered by the UNSC and confined within Monsterland in the Ogasawara island chain. A specialized control center under the island is built to keep them secure and serve as a research facility. This containment framework sets the stage for future discoveries and tensions.

Following the mysterious severing of communications with Monsterland, Captain Katsuo Yamabe and the crew of Moonlight SY-3 embark on a mission to investigate. They travel to the island facility to determine the cause of the blackout and the fate of the scientists there. The voyage marks the first step toward uncovering the true threat.

Inside Monsterland, the crew discovers that the scientists, led by Dr. Otani, have become mind-controlled slaves of the Kilaaks, a feminine extraterrestrial race. The Kilaaks reveal they can command the monsters themselves and demand human surrender. This discovery reframes the conflict from containment to active resistance.

In a coordinated global assault, Godzilla attacks New York City, signaling the scale of the Kilaaks' plan. The attack triggers worldwide fear and mobilizes international defense efforts. Other monsters begin their own incursions as the crisis deepens.

Rodan roars into Moscow, unleashing chaos over the capital as part of the distraction around the world. The city endures explosive flights and destructive power that overwhelm local defenses. The attack demonstrates the aliens' reach across continents.

Mothra's larva rampages across Beijing, leaving a trail of destruction and fear in its wake. The assault highlights the environmental and cultural damage wrought by the mind-control scheme. The world watches in horror as another major city falls.

Gorosaurus wreaks havoc in Paris, smashing landmarks and crippling emergency responses. The coordinated onslaught is designed to maximize disruption and panic. Paris becomes another casualty in the wider invasion.

Manda sends its serpentine form through London, triggering chaos across the historic city and challenging local defenses. The attacks demonstrate the breadth of the mind-control campaign. In the background, UNSC analysts begin to realize the pattern behind the devastation.

The global diversions mask the Kilaaks' plan to set up an underground stronghold near Mount Fuji in Japan. This move consolidates their power and prepares the final push against human resistance. The revelation shifts UNSC strategy toward countering both lunar and Earth-based threats.

Having drawn attention elsewhere, the Kilaaks redirect their next major attack to Tokyo for a decisive strike. The UNSC scrambles to defend the capital as the battle intensifies across the metropolis. This assault represents a critical turning point in the war for Earth.

The UNSC recovers the Kilaaks' mind-control devices from around the world and discovers that the signals are broadcast from a base beneath the Moon's surface. This revelation exposes a central weakness and centers the conflict on a lunar outpost. The discovery pivots the tide toward a direct strike.

In a desperate operation, Yamabe's crew destroys the Kilaak lunar outpost and returns the control system to Earth. The action turns the tide in humanity's favor and diminishes the aliens' leverage over the monsters. It marks a pivotal victory in the on-going struggle.

With the Kilaaks feeling secure, they unleash King Ghidorah to protect their stronghold, prompting a massive battle with Godzilla, Minilla, Mothra larva, Rodan, Gorosaurus, Anguirus, Kumonga, Baragon, and Varan. The epic clash tests Earth's guardians and their unity. Despite Ghidorah's power, the Earth monsters begin to gain the upper hand.

Ghidorah is defeated by the combined Earth monsters, but the Kilaaks reveal their ace: the Fire Dragon, a burning monster torching Tokyo and destroying the Ogasawara control center. The Fire Dragon is exposed as a flaming Kilaak UFO. The revelation raises the stakes and accelerates the final push to end the invasion.

Godzilla's assault collapses the Kilaaks' underground base and the Earth monsters recognize their true enemies. Yamabe pursues the Fire Dragon in the SY-3 and defeats it, ending the Kilaaks' grip on the world. With the threat neutralized, the monsters return to Monsterland to live peacefully once more.
