Generally, there is no requirement to file any response to a defendant's answer. The complaint and answer form the issues (set forth the disputes) in the case. There is a pleading called a Reply, but it is rarely used and is not required. Of course, every state has it's own rules of civil practice so it's difficult to give a thorough answer to this question.
After receiving the defendant's answer to the complaint, you can review their response to see what defenses or counterclaims they may be asserting. You may then proceed with pretrial activities, such as discovery, to gather more information and evidence to support your case. It is important to analyze the defendant's answer carefully and consult with your attorney to determine the best course of action moving forward.
The plural possessive form of "defendant" is "defendants'".
The correct placement would be "Plaintiffs' Complaint" to indicate that the complaint belongs to multiple plaintiffs.
Defendants are individuals or entities being sued in a civil case or accused in a criminal case. They have the right to defend themselves against the claims made by the plaintiff or prosecution. Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in criminal cases.
The plural of "complaint" is "complaints."
The first pleading of the plaintiff in a civil action is typically the complaint. The complaint outlines the plaintiff's claims against the defendant, stating the facts of the case and the legal basis for the lawsuit.

Yes, if certain facts apply: First, If the two complaints are against the same defendant but arise from separate incidents you may even be required to file the two claims in one complaint. Courts do not want to be bothered by one complaint on one subject then another on the other when the same two defendants are before the court. In some courts, failure to file both claims together might result in the claim agasint the defendant that was not joined being forfeited. Second, if the two complaints are against two different defendants but arise out of the same incident, you probably are required to file them in one complaint. This is also to prevent a waste of time trying two cases when they can be done in one. Again, the claim against the defendant who was left out might be forfeited for not being included. Third: If the complaints are against separate defendants arising out of separate acts, then you will not be able to file one complaint. Unless there is some common issue, it makes no sense to try them together.
A plaintiff starts a lawsuit by filing a complaint and serving the complaint and summons on the defendant (or defendants). If the defendant does not answer the complaint or otherwise respond to the suit, the plaintiff make request a "default judgment." This means, more or less, "the defendant has not responded and the court should therefore grant what I sought in the complaint." Usually, a default judgment will be restricted to the relief sought in the complaint and will be restricted to amounts that are reasonably calculable. For example, say somebody hit you with their car, and you sued for $100,000 in medical bill. If the defendant ignores the lawsuit, the plaintiff will request a default judgment, and the court will likely grant them a $100,000 judgment. The plaintiff will then take the judgment to (most often) the county sheriff's department, which will then seize a defendants property to be sold to pay the judgment; or plaintiff can seek other remedies, like garnishment of wages. Lesson: don't ignore lawsuits. That's how you lose for sure.

The defendant files an Answer to the Complaint. If the defendant wants to make a claim against the plaintiff a Counterclaim may be filed as well. If there are several defendants and the defendant wants to make a claim against one of them, a Cross-claim is filed. If the defendant wants to make a claim against a person who is not named in the suit, a Third Party Complaint is filed. If the defendant files an Answer only, plaintiff is not required to file any further pleadings.
Some common ones are: answer, defend, react, reciprocate, reply
A complaint is filed, summons issued on defendants, an answer is filed, then lots and lots of discovery, depositions (both discovery & trial deps), possibly mediation (sometimes court ordered), hopefully an out-of-court settlement, if not - then a trial.
