Some nuclear accident, such as a crashed submarine or fallout from a power plant meltdown (or perhaps the nuke from the end of the first movie!) causes an uninhabited island chain to be contaminated with radiation. This awakens a hibernating monster, which Godzilla, for whatever reason, wants to kill. About halfway or 1/3 into the movie, Godzilla arrives at the island and fights the other monster, and, like in the first film, the military plans to kill them with an H-bomb. This time, however, they have no EMPs to deal with, so the plan goes off without a hitch, and both monsters are caught point blank in the blast. This, of course, fails to kill them, but we then find out that, for some unknown reason, there is practically an entire ecosystem of monsters in hibernation underground and underwater on the island chain, which are all woken up by the nuke.
The plot could go any number of directions from there, but that's as far as my idea goes. What did you think of my idea? Do you have any ideas for the rest of the plot?
