History Fanfic / GodzillaNewEra

* CanonWelding: It's a retelling of ''Godzilla 2000'' but as a continuation of the ''Heisei Saga'' of Godzilla films as well as the ''Rebirth of Mothra'' trilogy. Cameos and name drops also state the events of the ''1998 Godzilla'' film happened with its television series set to happen shortly after.

* HotScientist: Heavily downplayed with Dr. Yuji Shinoda. Yuki Ichinose was expecting someone looking much worse and was somewhat surprised at how average he was. His late wife Dr. Asuka Shinoda certainly counted.

* MagicMusic: The Shobijin appear with their song basic magic. Moll and Lora use a song to channel massive amounts of electrical, thermal, and radioactive energies from an undersea volcanic region into Godzilla to speed up his healing.

* AdaptationalAchillesHeel: [[spoiler:Godzilla goes from the priority target by the Millennian to their biggest weakness. While they do want to copy and control his regeneration ability, radiation output and possibly some unknown elements of his biology make being around him cause horrific cancers to spread.]]

* AdaptationalContextChange: As in ''Godzilla 2000'', the [=GPN=] find Godzilla on a cliff side road bordering the ocean. How Io Shinoda acts and Godzilla reacts upon noticing her is completely different.

* DeathByChildbirth: Asuka Shinoda, Io's mother and Yuji's wife, exits the world bringing Io into it during the prologue. The cause was undiagnosed radiation born scar and cyst she'd gotten after being too close to Godzilla in the 1984 attack ruptured during delivery. This motivated Yuji into studying Godzilla to try and understand his immunity to radiation.

* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:Commander Aso journeys to Odo Island in the epilogue to do this for the 1954 and 1984 Godzillas, as a way of putting their personal war behind them in the hopes they might rest in peace.]]

* TheDreaded: Godzilla, as to be expected, is feared by most everyone. Millennian rightly declares him the biggest threat to its invasion. Deconstructed, as this exact thing is why [[spoiler:everyone has such difficulty accepting that he's on humanity's side until the end when they see him with new eyes.]]

* FatherToHisMen: Commander Takaaki Aso in a nutshell. He keeps a humble office in an accessible spot of G-Force headquarters specifically to not put himself above his troops and constantly put their safety first in his plans. It makes him very beloved with both subordinates and the troops. A mild deconstruction happens with some of the youth, ignorant of the scope of the Imperial era's history, favorably compare him to high profile World War 2 era commanders and this disturbs him greatly. Reconstructed by the end when he's given the chance to prove himself.

* NukeEm: [[spoiler:Millennian hacks military systems worldwide and proceeds to try and nuke humanity, launching ''hundreds'' of warheads at once.]]

* RiddleForTheAges: [[spoiler:It's never confirmed just ''what'' Godzilla is. A chance freak mutation? An ancient kami of destruction taking a new form? An incarnation of Seiryū? Somehow all three?]]

* ShoutOut: The ending has a few visual and music similarities to the finale of ''Anime/Pokemon3''.

** Part 7: Yuji Shinoda confirm beyond the shadow of a doubt that the current Godzilla is the grown up Junior.

** [[spoiler:Orga has disabled the Super-X3, the only thing that could halt it, and moves to claim Io...when Godzilla Junior blasts the invader with his Atomic Breath as he emerges from Mount Otawa.]]

* TheFourGods: Hina is implied to suspect the current Godzilla is a modern incarnation of Seiryū. [[spoiler:In the finale, Aso whispers their name in awe while looking upon Godzilla.]]

* DeathByChildbirth: Asuka Shinoda, Io's mother and Yuji's wife, exits the world bringing Io into it during the prologue. The cause undiagnosed radiation born scar and cyst she'd gotten after being too close to Godzilla in the 1984 attack ruptured. This motivated Yuji into studying Godzilla to try and understand his immunity to radiation.

* BehemothBattle: Admiral Tachibana piloting [[Film/Gunhed GUNHED]] against a several story tall Millennian drone in the form of a Jyarumu. [[spoiler:Later, naturally, Godzilla vs. Orga in its multiple forms.]]

* PrayerAsALastResort: A non-comedic example during the finale. The nukes are about to hit and wipe out humanity within the minute, Orga is trying to consume Io whilst keeping Godzilla at bay with a barrier the dragon begins to force his way through. Out of options and with nothing he can do, Yuji Shinoda falls to his knees and prays for Godzilla to stop Orga and save his daughter.

* TheDreaded: Godzilla, as to be expected, is feared by most everyone. Millennian rightly declares him the biggest threat to its invasion. Deconstructed, as this exact thing is why [[spoiler:everyone has such difficulty accepting that he's on humanity's side.]]

* FusionFic: Interfranchise example. In this case the events and characters of ''Film/Godzilla2000'' within the continuity of the Heisei Godzilla films, Rebirth of Mothra trilogy, ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'', and ''Film/GodzillaMothraKingGhidorahGiantMonstersAllOutAttack''.

* PrayerAsALastResort: A non-comedic example during the finale. The nukes are about to hit and wipe out humanity within the minute, Orga is trying to consume Io whilst keeping Godzilla at bay with a barrier the dragon begins to force his way through. Out of options and with nothing he can do, Yuji Shinoda falls to his knees and prays.

* TraumaButton: Yugi Shinoda lost his wife to radiation poisoning from the 1984 Godzilla attack when the fight between the kaiju and the Super-X broke out. Seeing Io risk similar after she ran forward to get close to the Godzilla during a military attack puts Yuji in a bad headspace for awhile. It's implied that the same even is behind Katagiri's behavior.

* Fingore: [[spoiler:Both Yuji Shinoda and Yuki Ichinose suffer hand injuries from the Millennian drones resembling Asuka Shinoda. Yuji had his fingers dislocated, crushed, and fractured; Yuki had her ring and pinkie fingers bitten off and needing to be reattached later.]]
* FlashbackNightmare: Several characters have one to the 1984 second Godzilla attack, with some of the older cast also having horrific recollections of the 1954 attack by the first monster. Chapter 8 showcases what Takaaki Aso went through being a boot on the ground caught in the middle of the first attack as a young man.

* While flying the Super-X3, pilots tend to feel an uneasiness of doom. [[spoiler:Aso seemingly sees the revenant ghosts of the past dead Super X series pilots and it's vague as to if he's literally being haunted or is just hallucinating from guilt.]]

* ClippedWingAngel: [[spoiler:Orga's final form is a several hundred meter tall abomination trying to devour the C.C.I. HQ building to get to Io...but it's in such ravaged shape its only actual defense is putting up its barrier shield to try and keep Junior at bay. Once Junior breaks through the barrier, Orga's defenseless.]]

** Pentacost has a downplayed one [[spoiler:when he realizes Junior was never their enemy.]]

* NukeEm: [[spoiler:Millennian hacks military systems worldwide and proceeds to try and nuke humanity.]]
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Belvera apparently singlehandedly destroyed four Millennian drones offscreen in addition to the one she did onscreen. Now keep in mind the amount of effort it takes everyone else to kill ''one''.

* TheFourGods: Hina is implied to suspect the current Godzilla is a modern incarnation of Seiryū.

* WhyIsntItAttacking: During the confrontation between Godzilla and G-Force, in the Amami Islands, Godzilla never attacks the military, any damage caused being entirely accidental despite everyone later noting he could've easily leveled the island if he so chose. [[spoiler:This proves he's the adult Junior, and everyone later realizes that he was there for the Millennian ship and they were actively handicapping him because he didn't want to hurt them. Katagiri is the only one who refuses to accept this by the end.]]

* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:Junior loses to the Millennian ship in their first encounter because G-Force is firing on him and he can't go all out due to all the humans on the island. The heroes gradually realize this was entirely intentional by the aliens.]]

* FatherToHisMen: Commander Takaaki Aso in a nutshell. He keeps a humble office in an accessible spot of G-Force headquarters specifically to not put himself above his troops and constantly put their safety first in his plans. It makes him very beloved with both subordinates and the troops.

** Hina herself has elements of this with how she's able to seemingly appear in Aso's room, past all his security, without much effort and Aso is the only one who seems to take notice of her.

** '''The Millennian'''. Combining traits of their manga adaptation with the film version, along with remote controlled biological drones that can assimilate and replicate animals and humans they've killed to present a very dangerous threat to the human cast. They're also far more active and dangerous than they were in canon.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Godzilla is much less destructive and solely after the Millennian ship and Drones, not causing any intentional destruction, compared to the movie. [[spoiler:This is because this is the fully grown Junior and he's actively protecting humanity.]]

* BigBad: Millennian, the HiveMind behind the Millennians as a whole, is the main antagonist as it was in canon. It becomes active even earlier than the Millennians did in canon, and thus are even more this trope.

* DoomsdayClock: [[spoiler: Midnight on New Years becomes this, after the Millennian hack almost every computer on the planet and launch multiple hundreds of nuclear missiles. The governments across the world can stall the impacts, but not stop them; buying G-Force until midnight to stop the Millennian.]]

* HiveMind: The Millennians are a hive mind, with each part of the whole sharing one consciousness. Notably, the hive mind refers to itself solely as simply Millennian, in a way akin to a personal name rather than the species. [[spoiler:Because of the hive mind being connected to its biomass, when Godzilla's DNA begins ripping through its genetic code, it also begins tearing its HiveMind apart, resulting in its VillainousBreakdown.]]

** [[spoiler:Katagiri has a major one when he realizes his attempt to communicate and warn Millennian of the G-Force attack instantly results in Millennian hacking the entire internet the nanosecond he opens the door.]]

** [[spoiler:Millennian puts all its biomass together into creating a physical form. This goes wrong thanks to Godzilla's DNA, resulting in the birth of Orga.]]

** The third Godzilla [[spoiler:confirmed to be the grown up Junior]] is ''far'' more powerful and resilient than his predecessor. [[note]]Cryo-masers and cadmium missiles, all of which could hurt or seriously incapacitate the previous Godzilla barely slow him down. Anti-nuclear bacteria, even when administered through full-metal missiles in many times the dosage that eventually inebriated the second Godzilla, is completely [[NoSell negated]] when Godzilla used a nuclear pulse that puts his temperature ''above'' Burning Godzilla for a brief instance and completely purges the bacteria. G-Force understandably freaks out. He also nearly destroys the Super-X three by complete accident.[[/note]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Millennian reacts with panic as Junior's DNA begins ripping it apart, which also makes its HiveMind begin to fall apart. This causes its mind to essentually rip itself apart and only be able to focus on getting Io in a desperate attempt to stablize itself as it becomes Orga.]]

* WhereItAllBegan: The fact the final confrontation moves to Kyoto, the city where Godzilla Junior was born, is not lost on the characters. [[spoiler:Especially when Godzilla, the grown up Junior, marches into Kyoto to confront Orga.]]

* KryptoniteFactor: [[spoiler:The Millennian are extremely vulnerable to radiation, which is one reason they target and try to destroy Godzilla. This also makes magic highly effective against them, as mana is a form of radiation in this universe.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: '''The Millennian'''. Combining traits of their manga adaptation with the film version, along with remote controlled biological drones that can assimilate and replicate animals and humans they've killed to present a very dangerous threat to the human cast. They're also far more active and dangerous than they were in canon.

* FlashbackNightmare: Several characters have one to the 1984 second Godzilla attack, with some of the older cast also having horrific recollections of the 1954 attack by the first monster. Chapter 8 showcases what Takaaki Aso went through being a boot on the ground caught in the middle of the first attack.

* LogicalWeakness: [[spoiler:The Millennian UFO is curved on every surface but the bottom. As such, G-Force manages to destroy it by firing full-metal missiles into its under side where they can't be deflected by its shape.]]

* CastFromLifespan: [[spoiler:One of the weaknesses of the Millennian Drones: they only have so much energy to use and the more they expend shapeshifting or healing, the more they breakdown.]]
* ChekhovsGun: Aso is given a mummified Godzillasaurus claw by Hina. [[spoiler:It turns out to possess the same ability to kill Millennian drones as G-Cells, and saves Aso's life against the drone that tried to kill him.]]

* WhereItAllBegan: The fact the final confrontation moves to Kyoto, the city where Godzilla Junior was born, is not lost on the characters. [[spoiler:Especially when Godzilla, the grown up Junior, marches in Kyoto to confront Orga.]]

In 1954, a monster of Odo Island legend turned Tokyo into a holocaust of flames and irradiated rubble. It was thought destroyed at great cost. In 1984, an even larger second Godzilla leveled much of that rebuilt city and doubled the first's horrific death toll. That creature went on to rampage and battle other titanic beasts for another decade before meeting its end through a nuclear meltdown in 1995. But just as some started to celebrate that the age of monsters finally was at an end and a new era for mankind's dominion was at hand, many on Odo Island were adamant the immortal sea dragon of destruction could never die for good. Sure enough, a third Godzilla was briefly sighted retreating into the ocean after the demise of the second. Years later, with the eve of the year 2000 in sight, strange happenings begin to occur. Seismic activity on the sea floor, storms in a region of the sea known since the 1500s for strange occurrences, and a research vessels found with all of the electronics and crew missing. And sightings off the coast of Odo Island confirming the worst fears of some at G-Force. The next Godzilla had returned.

And at the heart of it all a father and daughter duo, Yuji and Io Shinoda, are trying to uncover the mysteries of what is going on. Is this new Godzilla the adult form of the friendly infant that Io befriended as a little girl? If it is "Junior", is he still the docile youth he once was now as a living titan? Why did Godzilla only now become active again? And how might the mythic legends of Yuji's homeland of Odo help a man of science find peace with himself?

* SeriesFic: Serves as a prequel to ''Fanfic/TheBridge''.

* WhereItAllBegan: The fact the final confrontation moves to Kyoto, the city where Godzilla Junior was born, is not lost on the characters. [[spoiler:Especially when Junior marches in Kyoto to confront Orga.]]

* ChekhovsGun: Aso is given a Godzillasaurus fang by Hina. [[spoiler:It turns out to possess the same ability to kill Millennian drones as G-Cells, and saves Aso's life against the drone that tried to kill him.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: Yuri Tachibana is about to be consumed by a Millennian Drone when Belvera arrives and ultimately destroys it.

* BodyHorror: Everything about the Millennians, who absorb DNA and mix it together into horrifying drones capable of transforming at will.

* HiveMind: The Millennians are a hive mind, with each part of the whole sharing one consciousness. Notably, the hive mind refers to itself solely as simply Millennian, in a way akin to a personal name rather than the species.

* UltimateLifeform: [[spoiler:Becoming the apex of evolution is Millennian's ''only'' goal, having no other desire beyond that.]]
