    Greetings!

    Here is the Backstory to the Nightmare Series, as I promised.

    I will soon add maps to give you a visual on who controlls what.

    Nightmare Series Backstory.


    An Alternate-Timeline History Lesson


    Albert Einstein's letter to Roosevelt set into action the largest Scientific/Military/Engineering project known to the History of Man: The Manhattan Project. The Americans were not the only nation to have such a Project at the time, but they were the ones who completed it first. This truly Mammoth project resulted in three Atomic Weapons. The Scientists were sure that Little Boy, the ironically named Uranium bomb, would work. They did not know if the Plutonium bombs, Fat Man and The Gadget would work, so in 1945, at Trinity Site in New Mexico, the world's first Atomic Bomb blew up. The Gadget worked by collapsing a hollow sphere of Plutonium in upon itself to achieve Critical Mass.

    The Resultant exlosion shattered glass as far away as Gallup, New Mexico, and released a cloud that almost caused the evacuation of Albuquerque.

    President Harry Truman faced a staggering decision. Japan had brought the United States into the war by bombing Pearl Harbor in 1941, and as the US struck back, Japan had proved itself to be a tough foe, often fighting to the death for some desolate rock in the middle of nowhere. They knew the terrain, and would often inflict horrendous casualties on the Americans, almost never surrendering even under overwhelming odds. If they fought this hard for rocks in the boonies, how would the Japanese fight on their home islands, Truman wondered. His commanders almost had the complete plans for the invasion of Japan, but were predicting at least one million American casualties.

    Should he invade Japan? Or should he invite Japanese leaders to a remote island in the Pacific and blow up one of his two precious atom bombs in an attempt to convince Tojo and the rest of his militarists to surrender? Should he just drop the bombs?

    They say Truman agonized over the decision before finally deciding to authorize their usage. He gave the Imperial Japanese government one last chance to surrender, warning them of a new weapon that used the power of the sun. The government refused.

    The bomber Enola Gay dropped the first atomic bomb used in war, Little Boy, on Hiroshima, a manufacuring city that had been mostly spared bombing runs. A large portion of the city was anhililated by that bomb, and still, the Japanese government did not surrender.

    Three days later, the bomber Bocscar dropped the more powerful Fat Man on Nagasaki instead of Kyoto due to cloud cover. Again, a large portion of the city was destroyed, but due to geography, fewer people died as the blast was blocked by mountains.

    It is said that when the news was brought to Emperor Hirohito, he wept at the destruction caused to his people, and overstepped his authority to bring an end to the war.

    Though he doubted the Japanese people could handle a democracy, General Douglas MacAurther became essentially the military dictator of Japan, imposing a bicameral legislature and other democratic reforms on the nation, giving Japan the base they needed to become an economic superpower.

    However, nuclear testing in the Pacific soon brought to life something that causes this timeline to deviate from our more familiar timeline here.

    In 1963, A creature from Nightmares showed up.

    It was a creature from Legend, so fearful that it was spoken of only in whispers- if it was spoken of at all.

    Those Japanese who remembered the old myths gave it the name Gojira.

    Gojira was the ancient Sea Dragon forever at war witht the Divine Winds, the Kamakasie. Japanese Legends warned that if the Japanese ever turned from their Emperor and the Sun god he came from, Gojira would have free reign to destroy them as the Sun would no longer protect them, and even the Kamakasie would join Gojira.

    Surely this creature was Gojira.

    He first rose from Tokyo Bay on the night of June 20th, 1963. He had ringing honk voice, and fire ran through his veins (not literally, of course).

    The beast stood fifty meters high, had armored, almost inpenatrable crocidile like skin, huge fangs, and firey breath that would vaporize all it touched, and blind all those who saw it. Gojira was uneffected by anything the military could throw at it, and only death and suffering existed in his wake. Gojira burned Tokyo to the ground that night, and of the two hundred survivors, only three remained sane, and two of them commited suicide within a month.

    Gojira's raid prompted a resurgence of Japanese religion, but to no avail. It seemed that the Japanese Sun god had deserted them to the "mercies" of Gojira. In desperation, a Cult of Gojira appeared, but the monster seemed to find it almost comical to go out of his way to burn his temples and smash his followers.

    After Gojira's raid, ships started dissapearing from all over the area. Having skewed the creature's name with their language, the American sailors off Vietnam claimed that "Godzilla" had attacked their ships. Finally, the beast stomped across southern Vietnam, decimating any and all American troops that shot at him.

    During this fight, two very disturbing things about Godzilla were noticed. The first was that he was radioactive. The second was that he seemed to be fully aware of everything, and seemed to enjoy causing death and terror. He was observed to pick a particular human and play with them as a cat might with a mouse. Godzilla would chase them, always fully aware of exactly where they were at all times, usually killing them only when they collapsed from exhaustion. Godzilla was no animal, he was fully sentient.

    It was in 1975 that Godzilla went on his now infamous "World Tour", known in the US as "Godzilla's March to the Mississippi." Godzilla started off by flattening Hokkiado, mutating local bacteria into super diseases that quickly eliminated all life on that island. Then, Godzilla stomped through South Korea, weakening that country enough that North Korea was able to conquer the entire country in a week. The responding American fleet was devastated by Godzilla, who then appeared in Hawai'i a week later, ridding those islands of all human life, leaving only plants. Godzilla then proceeded to land at San Francisco, destroying the city and heading east. Godzilla went through eastern New Mexico into Texas, ruining farmland and trashing towns, including tiny Tokio, Texas before heading towards Huston, then making his way along the coast, dissapearing into the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans, after burning half the city, then flooding the rest when he destroyed the levies. Godzilla then headed to South America, where his main accomplishment was setting fire to the Amazon Rain Forest, a fire that sparked the Godzilla Induced Global Cooling Famine that starved millions.

    After his escapades in the Americas, Godzilla bisected Africa, killing all in his path, then appearing in India, weakening that country enough that the Soviet Union felt it had an oppening for "aid." This Soviet Aid resulted in Soviet annexation of the subcontinent, and set a precedent for Soviet Godzilla Policy. When Godzilla cut a swath through China, the Soviet Union annexed that country too.

    In 1985, the US military dropped a nuclear weapon on Godzilla. The mutant absorbed the radiation almost as it came. His increased power allowed him to stand upright, like a human, raising his height to 100 meters when fully erect, though he often decided to keep his traditional dinosaur posture.

    In 1990, Godzilla flattened Taiwan so decidedly that nobody wanted it.

    In 1991, the US military decided to make huge controll rods and turn them into a missile. The resultant missile was hyper-sonic, and proved to be the only weapon that had ever pierced Godzilla's skin. The controll rods had the opposite effect of what was expected, as Godzilla rerouted his nuclear power around them, creating a more efficient system that made Godzilla more powerful and caused his eyes to glow dead white. the wounds closed completely in two hours, and a month later, when high explosives were loaded on the missiles, they were unable to pierce Godzilla's hide. In 1992, though the US government still does not know what happened, Soviet Spetznatz destroyed the facility for making the missiles and burned all the plans, killing the head scientists involved.

    In 2005, the Anti-Godzilla group in the US dropped a Black Hole Bomb on Godzilla, who was on Odo island, off Japan. The bomb eliminated the island but had no effect on Godzilla. The resultant backlash put Project Regisaur on the table.


    The Cold War and American intervention

    The only hot war in Asia during the Cold War that is like our timeline is Korea. Every other time, Godzilla smashed the American forces, leading to Soviet Domination of Asia. Due to this, the US fought in other places. The Scandinavian War of 1991 in particular was bloody, but resulted in the end with a Soviet victory. This war is widely thought to be the reason why Europe is so Pacifist. The ammount of bloodshed and the defeat at the end, not to mention some astounding Soviet propaganda, chunred European stomachs. From that date forward, European countries would not support another American-led war, and would only supply troops to UN-sponsored conflicts, and none against the Soviet Union.

    With the Soviet Union being a member in good standing at the UN, the US was limited to only vetoing Soviet resolutions, but even then, the invasions usually happened anyway. The Soviets proved to be masters of manipulating the UN against the US, to where the US was forced several times to Abstain in Security Council meetings to not set off a firestorm that would have surely eliminated US veto power.

    Finally, Brandon Caine convinced Premier Romanov of the Soviet Union that Africa was a waste of time. The USSR, he argued should and could take on the USA itself. To that end, the UN, which was essentially a Soviet puppet by this time should set up a standing army. Romanov agreed, and put Caine in personal controll.


    Godzilla

    From this side of the Universal Divide, we only have Godzilla movies to give us our idea of Godzilla. Thus, I shall have to use these to describe him to you.

    His face and spines are similar to the 1954 Godzilla. His beam is closest to the GFW Godzilla's, though it generally vaporises all it touches, rather than exploding it. His feet are like those of Zilla (G98), with his tail swinging after him in the air. His eyes and fangs are like those of GMK, and his attitude is that of your worst nightmare.

    I hate to do this...but a disease wouldn't be made 'super' by radiation. If anything, the intense amounts of radiation would whipe it out.

    Well, that's a minor part of the story. I figgured that if it was possible to mutate Godzilla, then it was possible to mutate germs.

    Well, the first two are out, and the third is around 3/4ths done, I think.

    Why exactly are the soviets the 'Bad guys' in this? Wouldn't they help the US/NATO/Whoever attack Goji? They've got more tanks then we could ever hope to produce, they've just simply got *more* of everything.

    The Soviets never attacked Godzilla because it was more conveinient to have him around, and he never attacked the Rodina until GvC I. He made Soviet invasions easier because A) the victims were weaker, and B ) the Red Army could come bearing "aid" and just never leave.

    Also, once a place was Soviet Controlled (say China or Korea), if Godzilla attacked that place again, the survivors became dependant on Moscow for food/rebuilding supplies/etc. The local Red Army would try to defend against Godzilla, mainly so the populace could see that the Soviets were trying to protect them, but like you said, they have more equipment/manpower than we can dream of, so what's a battalion or two? Or Five? Especially if the troops in question are not Russian.

    Hm, interesting...very logical. It's also a very common way of thinking in most nation's armed forces. Yes Zardac, even the US...Troops are cannon-fodder, period.
