Godzilla (Minus One)

Godzilla's History

Godzilla first appeared on Odo Island in 1945 resembling a fifteen-meter-tall theropod-like reptile and slaughtered the inhabitants of the military base, save for Koichi Shikishima and Sosaku Tachibana. He first demolished the watchtower and killed the officer stationed there before searching for his comrades who hid in a nearby trench. Though he was ordered to bombard the creature with his plane's guns, Koichi was too paralyzed by fear to do so, leading his comrades to snap and open fire on Godzilla themselves. Predictably, their guns only enraged the creature, who then proceeded to massacre the soldiers as soon as they scrambled out of cover. The one-sided battle culminated with Godzilla destroying Koichi's plane and knocking its pilot out before leaving.

A year later, Godzilla was caught up in Operation Crossroads and mutated into a fifty-meter-tall behemoth and proceeded to destroy the American fleet before making his way into Japanese waters. Due to the rising tensions between the USA and USSR, America could not deploy their forces to intercept.

In 1947, Godzilla destroyed a ship out at the sea which then found by Koichi and his colleagues on board of the minesweeper Shinsei Maru. The sight of surrounding dead deep-sea fishes there alarmed Koichi who finally revealed to his colleagues the culprit of the attack to be the same creature who laid waste upon the outpost at Odo Island back in 1945 as opposed of American forces. Sure enough, Godzilla revealed himself by sinking Kaishin Maru, the sister ship of Shinsei Maru which accompanied them before chasing the group. During the chase, they detonated sea mines to stop the creature where one of them burst inside Godzilla's mouth and severely wounded him, but the damage was quickly undone due to Godzilla's enhanced regenerative abilities. He was then intercepted by the Takao and proceeded to battle the vessel before he managed to get the drop on her and destroy her with his atomic breath, much to Koichi and his colleague's horror and utter disbelief.

Later, Godzilla would make landfall in Tokyo and proceed to destroy it. After being fired upon by the remnants of the Japanese army, Godzilla fired his Atomic Breath and annihilated a good chunk of the Ginza before returning to sea.

With the Japanese government wanting no part in Godzilla's eradication, the civilians and veterans of WWII had to take matters into their own hands and devised a plan to kill Godzilla by using explosive decompression. Koichi led Godzilla out into the attack point using a Shinden fighter plane that Tachibana had modified prior. While the plan to sink Godzilla failed, they opted to kill Godzilla by bringing him up to the surface at a fast rate. While the effort managed to injure him, Godzilla managed to turn the tides on the ships and prepared to fire his Atomic Breath. However, at the last second, Koichi rammed his Shinden into Godzilla's mouth, decapitating him and causing his built-up atomic energies to explode from the inside out.

However, a small piece of Godzilla drifted to the bottom of the ocean and proceeded to regenerate.
