Hey guys, this is a twist of Japanese Mythology I came up with on my own, to explain how Kaiju began. It's purely for fanfic purposes. Enjoy!

Kaiju Mythology: The Beginning

In the very beginning, there was Fire. There was Fire, and Light, and Heat everywhere. Eventually, Fire, Light, and Heat began to cool and condense until they formed the Earth and Sky. This is the foundation of how things are now.

Then came the Gods. There is no explanation as to how they appeared. They just showed up. Whether they sprang from the newly developed Earth, or immigrated from some other dimension or universe, no one knows. All we know is that they were here. Keep in mind, they were not gods in sense of being immortal, they were gods in the sense of being extremely powerful and divine, with the ability to create life. They were indeed mortals, but they could only be killed in battle by the Kaiju stronger than them. There were two of them: GIGAMOTH and OROCHI. Gigamoth, as his name suggests, was a gargantuan, moth-like flying creature. His wings were a magnificient rainbow color, and they spanned many miles when he stretched them out, ready to take flight. He had numerous powers, both martial and mental, and he possessed a benevolent, fair, and rather calm demeanor. Orochi was a giant, eight-headed dragon. Each of his legs was said to be the size of a mountain, in both height and width. Seven of his heads possessed an elemental power, while the eighth and final head, the main one, controlled the others, as well as the rest of his body. In personality, Orochi was haughty, strict, and even rather cruel. Unlike his companion Gigamoth, Orochi preferred to settle disputes with fierce combat instead of reasoned thought and discussion.

However, they remained partners, simply because of one thing they had in common; their source of power. They possessed a common energy within them known as Keizer. Keizer is the most powerful force in the known universe, and these two were the very first to hold it, ehich means that all Keizers are descended from them. When they realized this, Gigamoth and Orochi decided to work together and create something beautiful. For many years, Earth was a barren, desert-like complex; a rough ground, spanning endlessly with no tree, lake, or other life form in sight. However, the two gods were about to change this. They set to work on creating the various features we know today; Orochi built the mountains, and Gigamoth created the seas. Orochi carved the rocks and canyons, while Gigamoth spread the flowers and trees. Orochi created volcanoes, while Gigamoth created springs. Before they knew it, their work was done. But there was still something missing; Life. That's when it dawned upon them. They could not live forever as the only beings on Earth. There had to be others to inhabit this utpoia and share in its grandeur. And they quickly began to spawn these inhabitants they had in mind. Each of them created two species; Gigamoth made a group of kaiju in his own image, as giant, beautiful moths, and he named them the Mothrans. He gave them powers that were similar to his own, including his great wisdom. Following the Mothrans, he created the Shobijin to be their partners. The Shobijin were a race of fairy-like humanoids who lived closely with the Mothrans, protecting and serving them. Meanwhile, Orochi was building his first creations. The original name he gave to his creatures is unknown, but they are now known as Dinosaurs. Instead of teaching them and caring for them as Gigamoth did with his children, he let them run wild and free, which led to chaos. He did not care, though, for this was part of his devilish plot; his plot to overthrow Gigamoth and rule supreme. He then began to work on his second set of life forms; Seven unique kaiju who would serve under him and assist him with his plan. He gave each of them some Keizer energy and made them the Master of an element. They were:

BARUGARON, Master of Fire MANDA, Master of Water

BARAGON, Master of Earth BAGORAH, Master of Wind

SHIIGAN, Master of Thunder BALKZARDAN, Master of Light JYARUMU, Master of Darkness

With the Big Seven combined with his army of Dinosaurs, Orochi was unstoppable; he was now even more powerful than Gigamoth. He did not account, however, for the wiseness of his former partner. Gigamoth had suspected Orochi's mutiny for quite some time due to his strange behavior, and so he prepared a defense the day before Orochi's attack. What followed was the start of the very first war in known history. Some say it lasted for a few weeks, others say it spanned two hundred years. All that is known is that it eventually came to a bloody stalemate, and could only end one way; a final duel between Gigamoth and Orochi. So finally, Gigamoth confronted his former friend at his fortress, in what is now Mt. Fuji, and offered him one last chance to change his ways. Orochi scoffed and asked Gigamoth to back up his words, insisting that peace can only come through war. With this final disagreement, the two launched themselves upon each other. Shobijin records say that it was the greatest kaiju battle in history. The two wheeled through the sky, blazed across the ground, shot through the seas, crashing, blasting, and thrashing at each other. Blood was shed. Flesh was torn. Senses were dulled. Pain was felt. Sheer power versus wary wisdom, brawn versus brain, the ultimate showdown. The duration of this fight is unknown as well, but fortunately, the ending is known. After an extremely brutal battle, Gigamoth managed to defeat Orochi. However, he did not have the energy nor the spite in him to finish Orochi for good, so he sealed him deep within the Earth, so ending the war. It was a Pyrrhic victory for Gigamoth and his forces, however; they had suffered heavy losses, and Gigamoth's power was all but sapped from his mighty duel. The Big Seven went into hiding (it is thought they went into the Earth as well, to be with their Master), but the Dinosaurs still ran rampant, even more chaotic than before, due to the fact that they were without a leader. Orochi also used his powers to balance the natural weather of Earth, so storms began to rage, and Gigamoth, in his recovering state, was still too weak to stop it. The only thing left to do was renew the Earth. So, with the very last of his strength, Gigamoth summoned a Great Fireball to Earth, and cast a spell on the few remaining Mothrans and Shobijin to protect them from the impending doom. The Fireball came, and it destroyed all the Dinosaurs and every other life form on Earth, thus renewing it. The Mothrans and Shobijin, surviving but shaken, awoke to find the world the way it had been before the gods: barren and lifeless. They had no choice but to start anew. After the Renewal, Gigamoth was never seen again.
