5,000 years ago, an advanced civilization was living on Venus. Both culturally and in aspects of scientific knowledge, the race was advanced beyond what humanity would achieve far into the future. Fate, however, was cruel to the civilization, as they caught the attention of a space demon...
Landing on the planet, King Ghidorah proceeded to wipe the population out, its only perceived aim being destruction. As the alien race on Venus fell, the three-headed terror continued its onslaught in space. Seething with destruction in its blood, the golden
demon concealed its form in the
confines of a blazing meteor. Crossing the black voids of
space, its destination was a new world to purge and
decimate.
Eventually, the meteor came crashing to Earth. The creature's presence caused
a reaction, awakening huge behemoths from their
slumber. Godzilla and Rodan were reawakened. Meanwhile
humanity watched in horror as the demonic egg
birthed huge scarlet flames. Fire and smoke that
took on a life of its own, twisting and congesting
into the night sky. Lashing against themselves
and taking on the form of King Ghidorah. Spreading
its wide leathery wings, it took off, and laid
waste to all life that dare to see its godly form. Cutting a path of destruction from the Kanto region to the Chubu region, the beast seemed unstoppable. However, the demon met unexpected retaliation.
Standing to defend mankind, Godzilla, Rodan, and
Mothra beat back the devil. Its three heads covered
in thick silk, King Ghidorah fled, flapping back
to the cold arctic depths of space.
Greatly angered by his thwarted advents he swore
to bring, the King of Terror flew to another planet;
consequently, one that was unknown to the populace
of Earth. A planet on the dark side of Jupiter
named Planet X. Living on this world were a race
of machine-like beings dubbed the Xilien. Seeing
the monster as a perfect tool for their future
plans, they captured the demon. Following the
next steps of their plan, they sent out radio
waves to Earth, alerting mankind of their existence.
The astronaut pair of Fuji and Glen arrived soon,
and was coaxed, along with the rest of humanity,
into allowing the Xilien to have Godzilla and
Rodan. They begged for the monsters, insisting
that the newly arrived creature King Ghidorah
threatened to destroy their people. Falling for
the trick, humanity allowed the aliens to take
the twin terrestrial kaijus to the new planet,
and successfully fight off the dragon. In exchange
for the behemoths, the Xilien promised a medical
drug that would cure all diseases. Deceit was
brought, when the drug turned out to be a tape
recording that told the Earthlings to surrender
and become a new colony of Planet X. If humanity
did not comply within 24 hours, the Xilien warned
of the consequences. Needless to say, humanity
stood its ground and created a plan to fight back.
However, the A-Cycle Light Ray Guns were still
be constructed as Godzilla, Rodan, and King Ghidorah
were released. Laying waste to anything that moved,
the trio of monsters nearly succeed, when finally
mankind's technology prevailed. Released from
their control, the monsters fought amongst themselves.
Their ongoing war pulling them from a craggy cliff,
and into the seas below. Only the space dragon
surfaced, fleeing back to space.
![King Ghidorah [Showa Series]](../images/kaiju/king_ghidorah72_sub01_tn.jpg) Years past, the infamy of the three-headed demon growing. As the 1970's came, a new, hostile invading race set their eyes on Earth: the Space Hunter Nebula M aliens. Controlling the cyborg Gigan, the alien race knew they needed something more to combat the monsters of Earth. As fate would have it, they located a three-headed creature gliding through the frigid vacuum of space: King Ghidorah. However, this was not the same beast that had attacked Earth in the 1960's, but rather a second, weaker King Ghidorah. Regardless, the race took control of the monster.
Combining the horror with their
own twisted cyborg Gigan, the two descended to
earth and begin their destructive directive in Tokyo. Planes, tanks, masers, all fell before the might
of the duo. Only through the courage of Godzilla
and Anguirus, were the beasts given real opposition. Due to the combined efforts of the earth monsters and humanity, the Space Hunter Nebula M aliens were defeated and their control over the monsters broken. Left to their own devices, Godzilla and Anguirus were eventually victorious, as King Ghidorah and Gigan were sent into retreat,
soaring into the fathomless regions of space.
Gliding on its way, this second King Ghidorah's travels
didn't go unnoticed. Gazing from afar, the Garogas
saw the perfect tool in their latest and greatest
plans to conquer Earth. Scheming to block the
flow of sunlight to Earth, they planed to use
an item called the Dark Prism. The crystal would
deflect the sun's rays, and transform the world
into a cold lifeless rock. With malice clutching
their soul, the alien race captured King Ghidorah,
making the creature instinctively seek out the
Dark Prism. Cast down from the heavens, King Ghidorah
rampaged its destruction on Earth. Its new and
improved gravity beams, being able to levitate
cars, homes, and signs. However, the abomination
wouldn't last, and Earth's hope, Zone Fighter,
stepped in. However, there was nothing he could
do to stop the cackling dragon. Mustering the
last ounce of strength, the hero flew into space,
leading the creature from Earth.
Out in space, Zone Fighter leads the ancient
horror towards an asteroid, but suddenly all contacts
with Zone family is lost, and King Ghidorah disappears.
Meanwhile on Earth, the Garogas agents have taken
prisoner the Zone Family. Realizing their fate,
Zone Fighter heads back and frees them. Yet in
his absence, King Ghidorah is unleashed. With
sweeping wings, and suspending gravity beams,
the celestial reptile destroys the facility that
housed a scientist vowing to stop the Dark Prism.
Little time passes, before finally Zone Fighter
is able to fight again. Throwing his courage in
the fray, he saw to end the destruction caused
by King Ghidorah forever. Zone Fighter attacked
King Ghidorah, but once again the space beast
triumphed, and the hero is forced to lead the
demon away. Taking off, Zone Fighter heads
to Venus, ironically the location where the first King Ghidorah once massacred an entire race.
Prayers followed, as the final battle prepared
to show itself on the planet's surface. Assaulting
with flurries of punches and kicks, Zone Fighter
fought. Though King Ghidorah was still too much.
Unleashing a new technique, by combining all three
of it's gravity beams, into one hellish wave of
pain, the gleaming monster nearly succeeded in
destroying the protector. The Garogas race was
on the verge of victory, if not for the interference
of the Zone Family. Together, Zone Fighter was
able to topple the titan, and turn his blistering
arsenal upon the demon. Though he was not able
to kill the creature, he severely wounded it,
and returned to Earth exhausted.
Time passed on Earth, and peace grew. Then on
the brimming hour of the next century, another
race of aliens attacked. Calling themselves the
Kilaakian, the race quickly took control of all
the Earth's monsters. Sending them out in waves,
Earth's defenses were weakened. Only through
the will of the human spirit, did mankind prevail
and regain control of the monsters. However,
the Kilaakian were a noble and proud race, and
threw in their last triumph card: King Ghidorah. The alien race had located the original three-headed monster that had attacked Earth in the 1960's. Unleashing this more powerful King Ghidorah, the demon struck
against the monster legion, fighting back viciously.
The golden dragon knocked back the forces of
Earth for only a bit, though. In the end, even
the cosmic strength of the celestial beast was
not enough, and the first King Ghidorah was killed. Cast
into the open maw of Earth's land, never to be
seen again. |
