In the past, Godzilla battles the warship Gotengo until the King of the Monsters is buried in the ice caps of Antarctica. In the present, humanity has decided to halt all wars to battle the hordes of kaiju infesting the planet. This leads to the creation of the Earth Defense Force (EDF). The group builds giant warships and also uses a team of genetically altered humanoid mutants to battle the kaiju. While they have some success, soon monsters emerge all over the world at the same time. Rodan, Anguirus, King Caesar, Kumonga, Kamacuras, Ebirah, Zilla and Hedorah all appear in different countries. Their assaults are interrupted as the monsters mysteriously disappear. This is followed from the appearance of a group of aliens called the Xiliens. They take credit for dispatching the monsters, and reveal that they need Earth's help. The aliens need to stop Gorath, a giant star on a collision course with Earth. Not all is what it seems from the aliens' intent, however...
