3. Chapter 3: 1960-1968

1960

• In the reconstructed Hiroshima, reports of a strange deformed boy roaming the streets and eating any living creature he can get his hands on reaches the doctors at the nearby clinic. When doctors James Bowen and Sueko Togami come across the boy one night they try to talk to him, but he disappears into the forest. Days later, the boy is found in a small cave where groups of people are trying to get at him. Sueko and James manage to get the people to leave the boy alone and take him back to their clinic for examination. As the child grows larger and larger by the day, he is forced to be placed in a cage. Kawai, one of the men who delivered the heart of Frankenstein's monster to Hiroshima back in 1945, tells the scientists about the heart and his belief that it is connected to the boy. The doctors believe that the boy ate the heart of Frankenstein's monster when he was scrounging around for food after the atomic bomb hit Hiroshima. Dr. Yuzo Kawaji flies to Germany to get information from Dr. Reisendorf, the man who had the heart before it was delivered to Japan. From the doctor, Kawaji learns that if the boy is truly a descendant of Frankenstein's monster, any limb cut off will grow back. Upon returning to the clinic, he tells Bowen and Togami the news, but they are hesitant to try it in the slightest chance that they could be wrong about his origin. When the others aren't around one night, Kawaji goes to cut off one of the boy's hands, but he is interrupted by a television crew from TTV. As the crew sets up their equipment, the lights they shine on the boy infuriates him and he smashes out of his cage, escaping into the streets. After visiting Sueko one last time, the boy escapes into the forest. The next morning, the boy's severed hand is found still alive, proving he really is FRANKENSTEIN reincarnate. Over the next few weeks, Frankenstein sightings are reported in forests around Hiroshima, causing Bowen and Sueko to give him food while they know he's still alive. While they're doing this, Kawaji studies the severed hand, but one night he finds the hand dead due to lack of proteins. In a fit of rage he throws the severed hand into a cage with rats they are testing the effects of radiation on. They eat the hand and mutate into horrible creatures ranging in various height called DEUTALIOS. The five Deutalios chase Kawaji out of the clinic and into the forest where he bumps into Bowen and Sueko. With the five mutations closing in on the doctors, hope seems grim until the arrival of Frankenstein. Frankenstein fights off the Deutalios, snapping all five of their necks by battle's end. The wounds he receives in the battle are too much for him to handle, causing him to fall into the sea where it's presumed he drowned. Not wanting to affect world relations due to the incident having something to do with WWII, the Japanese government heavily downplays the event.

• Dr. Shinzô Mafune announces that he has found two new species variations of dinosaurs living under the sea near the Bonin Islands; a variation of the Elasmosaurus and an aquatic variant of the Acrocanthosaurus, that he calls the TITANS. He claims that he can control them through hyper-sonic waves, but his colleagues call him mad and shun him from the scientific community.

1961

• A ship at sea shipwrecks on Infant Island, an island that is one of many South Seas islands used for nuclear testing. When the sailors are rescued and brought back to Japan, they tell scientists of being saved by natives and their red liquid. A joint research expedition by Japan and Rolisica, led and mainly funded by Clark Nelson, is sent to Infant Island to investigate their claims. Once on the island, the group heads inland and discovers a hidden paradise that somehow managed to remain untouched by the various nuclear tests. Further investigating leads to linguist Shin'ichi Chūjō being attacked by vampire plants, but as the plant drains his blood, his emergency signal draws Moll and Lora to his aid and they save him. The others bring him back aboard the research ship, and when he wakes up, he tells them about the Elias twins. Intrigued by this discovery, Nelson and his thugs begin making plans for the little Shobijin (a name Senichiro Fukuda, a Nitto Press reporter who managed to stowaway on the ship, gave them). The next day, Chūjō activates the emergency signal again, bringing the Shobijin before the entire expedition group. Nelson and two of his men try to kidnap the little fairies, but are forced to return them by the others. After the expedition group returns to Japan, Nelson and his henchmen return to Infant Island and kidnap the Shobijin, killing a couple of the natives who try to rescue the girls in the process. The remaining natives began praying for their Mothra to help the Shobijin, and their prayers are answered once the newest Mothra hatches out of her egg and begins heading on her way to rescue them. Once back in Japan, Nelson puts the Shobijin in a show called "The Secret Fairies Show" and makes a lot of money from exploiting them. As Mothra begins making her approach to Japan, she smashes through a fleet of navy ships and destroys a dam before arriving in Tokyo. Due to the both Mothra destroying a great deal of Tokyo in her search and Rolisica no longer backing him up over custody of the Shobijin, Nelson and his cronies flee the country, taking Moll and Lora to his private ranch in Rolisica. Knowing that she is unable to pursue her priestesses in her current form, Mothra cocoons herself against Tokyo Tower. Rolisica aids the JSDF by giving them their newly developed Atomic Heat Ray Cannons to burn the cocoon. Even though the cannons do a good job in burning the cocoon, Mothra emerges unharmed and in her imago form. With a couple flaps of her mighty wings, Mothra takes off into the sky. Knowing that Mothra is after the Shobijin and is heading for Rolisica, the entire country begins searching for Clark Nelson as Mothra rampages across New Kirk City. The evil and greedy man is soon found trying to flee a suburban neighborhood, but thankfully he is gunned down by police officers. Now with Moll and Lora out of Nelson's possession, Chūjō has the Mothra symbol painted on the nearby airport's runway and has all the church bells in the city play at the same time. Once the giant moth arrives, the Shobijin are returned to her. Moll and Lora thank everyone who helped them before returning to Infant Island with Mothra. In order to prevent this from happening again, Mothra creates FAIRY MOTHRA to act as their personal bodyguard.

1962

• Anguirus comes out of his comatose state and breaks out of the facility he's being studied in. He quickly returns to the sea and heads straight for the iceberg Godzilla's trapped in, and out of pure respect, frees Godzilla. Godzilla heads for Japan, destroying a military base on the way while Anguirus returns to Iwato Island.

• During an interview with Dr. Makino, Mr. Tako of Pacific Pharmaceuticals learns of a giant monster deity living on Faro Island where the doctor found the soma berries. Believing that the giant monster would be a great way to get publicity and better ratings for Pacific Pharmaceuticals and TTV respectively, Tako sends Osamu Sakurai, Kinsaburo Furue, and TTV translator Konno with Dr. Makino to find the monster and bring it back to Japan. Makino, Sakurai, Kinsaburo, and Konno arrive on Faro Island and explain to the natives their purpose for being on the island. Once the Japanese men give the natives gifts from the modern world, they natives agree to help assist them in their search. As the group climbed one of the island's many mountains, Kinsaburo is hurt in a rock slide and is taken back to the village. With the man needing rest, Makino sends two natives, a boy and his mother, to get some berry juice. As they look through one of the huts, a GIANT OCTOPUS comes out of the ocean, also looking for berry juice. Just as it's about to attack, a group of three 20 meter tall GOROSAURUS emerge from the jungle. Seeing the giant octopus as suitable prey, they begin attacking it. The battle traps the boy and his mother in the hut, but help soon arrives as the villagers and both Sakurai and Makino come to distract the dinosaurs. Just as the three saurians are about to eat their kill, bullets and spears bounce off their hides. As the dinosaurs fight off the humans, the boy and his mother manage to escape. The sound of the battle brings KING KONG, the island's deity, who comes to fight. When Kong kills the three dinosaurs, he celebrates his victory with a loud roar and drinks a couple jars of soma juice. The sedative effects of the soma and the natives' chants quickly put Kong to sleep, allowing Makino, Sakurai, Kinsaburo, and Konno to take the giant ape back to Japan on a large wooden raft. While Kong's journey to Japan begins, Godzilla rampages across Japan's countryside. Not wanting another kaiju on their hands, the JSDF arrive on the boat transporting Kong just as Tako arrives to tell them to return Kong to Faro Island. Unfortunately, Kong wakes up and is freed in order to prevent him from capsizing the boat. It isn't long before Godzilla and King Kong meet up in the countryside of southern Honshu. Their battle ends as quickly as it begins due to Godzilla warding Kong off with his Atomic Ray. With Kong retreating, Godzilla continues on his way to Tokyo unopposed. The JSDF try many plans to stop Godzilla, but they don't work. He is finally driven off course when he reaches a barrier of power lines filled with 1,000,000 volts of electricity. Unable to handle the electricity, Godzilla heads for the Fuji area. Unfortunately, King Kong is also heading for Tokyo, arriving there later that night. Although the barrier of power lines stopped Godzilla, they only make King Kong grow stronger. During his rampage through the city, he grabs Fumiko Sakurai and takes her to the Diet Building. With Kong holding her, the JSDF cannot attack her, until Sakurai gives them the brilliant idea of loading soma juice into exploding capsules for the tanks to shoot at him with. Once the capsules of berry juice explode all around him, Kong takes in great whiffs of juice's gaseous form. During this, Sakurai starts playing the rhythmic beat the natives on Faro Island did, putting Kong to sleep. Using incredibly strong wire made by Kazuo Fujita, Kong is airlifted with balloons to Mt. Fuji. Smelling Godzilla's scent, Kong wakes up and continues his battle with the saurian all across the dormant volcano. Their battle goes in the same way as their first one, but that's only until a freak lightning storm occurs. The lightning recharges Kong's strength and powers him up, allowing him to turn the tables on Godzilla. Kong drives Godzilla through a small village and battles him through Atami Castle, but their battle ends when they both fall off a cliff into the ocean. King Kong is the only one who surfaces and he begins his long swim back to Faro Island.

• Rolisica secretly sends an expedition team to research the effects of radiation on Infant Island, as well as try to discover how most of the island was able to remain lush and tropical. A storm causes them to get blown off-course to an uncharted island. Since it was secret, no search parties are sent out, leaving the expedition team missing.

1963

• Skipper Naoyuki Sakuda, ship mate Senzō Koyama, writer Etsurô Yoshida, university professor Kenji Murai, celebrity Masfumi Kasai, professional singer Mami Sekiguchi, and university student Akiko Sōma get caught up in a storm on yacht and get shipwrecked on a strange island covered with endless forests filled with strange mushrooms. They learn that the island was inhabited at some point when they discover man-made ponds with fresh water and tons of wrecked ships. They live on one of the ships, a research vessel which Kasai notes is Roliscian, where they discover the mushrooms are called MATANGO, and over the course of time start getting edgy over the lack of food aside from the Matango, which may be poisonous. One night, a strange, grotesque-looking humanoid appears on the ship, but it is driven off. Yoshida is the first to eat the Matango and starts going crazy, killing Senzō in his and Mami's attempt to take over the ship. Yoshida and Mami are banished and Kasai discovers that Naoyuki left the island on the yacht which Naoyuki and Senzō were fixing up. Kasai is soon enticed into the forest by Mami and learns that whoever eats the mushrooms start turning into one themselves after seeing Yoshida slowly turning into one. Coming from every direction in the forest are humanoid Matangos of various shapes and sizes, all of them surrounding Kasai. The mushroom people then head to the ship and begin attacking Kenji and Akiko until they kidnap Akiko. Kenji races after the mushroom people through the forest, but when he finds her, she is already under the Matango's influence. He tries to rescue her, but the Matango hold him off, and in the process make him involuntarily eat a piece of mushroom. With the Matango overwhelming him, Kenji flees without her and returns to Japan. Unfortunately when he gets back to Japan, he is in the process of transforming into a Matango, so he is forced to remain in a cell for scientists to study.

• Dr. Bown finds a small brown humanoid creature in the forest near the clinic one day and takes it back with him so he and his aides can take care of it. Many months later, the creature escapes back into the forest.

• With their army ready to take on humanity, the Mu Empire declares war on humanity, even though the Empress is hesitant about it. Several human engineers are kidnapped by Muan agents, but when Agent #23 tries to kidnap former admiral Kusumi and Makoto Jinguji, the daughter of the missing Captain Jinguji, he is met with interference by photographer Susumu Hatanaka and Yoshito Nishibe. After that, the Mu Empire sends a film to the United Nations which details their origin, along with a verbal threat to destroy Captain Jinguji's super submarine, the Gotengo. After convincing the man Jinguji sent to check on his daughter to take them to the captain's location, Kusumi, Makoto, Susumu, Yoshito, and a nosey reporter are taken to the island Jinguji is living on. Upon meeting Jinguji, Kusumi explains that the world needs the Gotengo in order to combat the Mu Empire, but the old captain refuses. He explains that the Gotengo's sole purpose is for restoring the Japanese Empire back into what it was before its defeat in World War II. Later, the reporter plants a couple of bombs in the Gotengo's hanger and kidnaps both Susumu and Makoto, revealing himself to be a spy for the Mu Empire. After he detonates the explosives, he takes his hostages to the kingdom of Mu. Fortunately, the Gotengo isn't harmed, just buried under rubble. Now feeling that his daughter is more important than his pride and patriotism, Jinguji agrees to use the Gotengo against the Muans. Just as the Muans begin their devastating attack on Tokyo by assaulting the city with an earthquake, the Gotengo arrives and destroys most of their submarines. By following one of their retreating subs, the Gotengo reaches the undersea kingdom. Inside the kingdom, Susumu, Makoto, and the captured engineers manage to escape by holding the Mu Empress hostage. With the press of a nearby button, the Empress releases Manda, who quickly heads to do battle with the Gotengo. The fight doesn't last long and Manda is frozen by the Gotengo's Zero Cannon. When Susumu and the others, along with the Mu Empress, enter the super submarine, it uses its drill to tunnel inside the kingdom where its geothermal generators are located. The soldiers aboard the sub disembark and begin freezing the generators using portable versions of the Zero Cannon. With the geothermal generators frozen and unable to work, this causes them to overload and meltdown, causing explosions all across the undersea kingdom. The Gotengo makes it to safety in time before the kingdom of Mu explodes in a cataclysmic fashion. Not wanting to remain alive while her people are dying, the Empress quickly joins them in death by swimming toward the explosions.

1964

• A TV satellite in outer space is destroyed by an alien space cell. The explosion causes it to mutate into a much more advanced life form called DOGORA. The giant space creature goes down to Earth where it discovers a new source of energy in the form of carbon. The creature first attacks a bank, inadvertently thwarting a diamond theft caused by the International Diamond Robbery Ring. All over the globe, diamonds unexplainably disappear. As police officers in Japan try to track down the missing diamonds that were stolen recently, they witness a coal truck being lifted off the ground and into the sky. Dr. Munakata believes the thefts are caused by a creature that gets energy from carbon. Confident in his theory, he heads to northern Kyushu where he believes the creature will appear next. Sure enough, Dogora attacks a mine in northern Kyushu, but it just happens to disturb some wasp hives in a nearby mine. When the wasps attack the creature, its body begins to solidify and falls to the ground below. Later that night, the Dogora arrive in Dokaiwan Bay. The JSDF attack with everything, but it seems nothing works. As it flies over the city, it absorbs any carbon material it can get until Surface-to-Air missiles are fired at it. The missiles manage to destroy the monster, but each piece managed to live as an individual cell. Realizing that wasp venom has a crystallizing effect on the monster, the venom is mass-produced and placed inside artillery shells. Days later, the individual cells begin consuming coal, but this time the JSDF is prepared for them. Unloading their wasp-venom shells at the space monsters, they quickly turn into crystallized boulders. Once the crystallized boulders break apart on impact with the ground, the threat of Dogora is no more.

• Mothra's egg is washed out to sea from Infant Island due to a raging typhoon which also floods an industrial area in the Japanese mainland. Reporter Ichiro Sakai and photographer Junko Nakanishi take pictures of the wreckage and discover a strange-looking object amongst the debris. Meanwhile on Kurata Beach, Mothra's egg turns up in the bay and the local villagers bring it to shore. Sakai and Junko arrive to make a story of the egg, they run into Shin'chi Chūjō, who has come to see investigate it. As Sakai and Junko try to get information from him, they all discover that Happy Enterprise entrepreneur Kumayama has bought the egg from the villagers. Later that evening, Kumayama sees his business partner, the head of Happy Enterprises, Jiro Torahata. As they discuss their plans for the egg as an attraction, Moll and Lora come into the room flying on Fairy. They try to convince the men to return the egg to Mothra, but the greedy men try to kidnap them to use in their egg attraction in order to make more money. Fairy Mothra keeps the men at bay, allowing the Shobijin to escape. Moll and Lora soon come across Sakai, Junko, and Chūjō. Recognizing Chūjō and remembering his kindness, they plead for the group to help return Mothra's egg. They agree and go to see Kumayama and Torahata about returning the egg, but the men refuse and the articles Sakai writes do nothing more than give them free publicity. Meanwhile, Godzilla emerges from the ground at the industrial site, who was washed there by the typhoon and buried under dirt and mud while hibernating, and starts rampaging across Nagoya. In a desperate attempt for help against the Monster King, Sakai, Junko, and Chūjō fly to Infant Island in order to get Mothra's help. When they come across the natives of the island, they are taken to the Shobijin. The Japanese plead for help against Godzilla, but the natives and the Shobijin refuse to help because they couldn't return Mothra's egg to their deity. After hearing Junko and Sakai's inspiring words about how no matter where a person comes from they should always get help when one needs it, Mothra agrees to fight Godzilla, knowing that even if she does win she will die from old age before she could make it back to the island. Godzilla's rampage soon takes him to the incubation chamber where Mothra's egg has been placed in. Just as he finishes destroying the chamber, Mothra arrives on the scene and drives him away from her egg. Their battle is taken to the countryside, but despite Mothra's valiant efforts, a direct blast from Godzilla's Atomic Ray is enough to end her life. Using the last of her strength, Mothra flies over to her egg and dies next to it. Godzilla continues moving through Japan, battling the JSDF forces and their artificial lightning generators. As the destructive creature makes his way to Iwa Island, Moll and Lora sing to the egg in order to make it hatch quicker than usual. Godzilla's attack on the island traps a teacher and her group of students, making the situation even more dire. Suddenly, the egg cracks and two Mothra larvae emerge from the egg and quickly head for Godzilla. While the Mothra larvae cocoon Godzilla in their webbing, Sakai and the others travel to the other side of the island and rescue the teacher and students. Godzilla is soon wrapped up in a web cocoon and falls into the ocean. With Godzilla temporarily defeated, the Mothra larvae return to Infant Island with the Shobijin.

1965

• The Earth Defense Force (EDF) is established by the United Nations to specifically battle any and all hostile monsters, along with invading extraterrestrials. The Gotengo is named the flagship of the EDF with Jingujii as its captain. Maser technology is created through further study of the Markalite Cannons and the Mysterians' Mogueras. The Monarch Organization is revealed to the public when it's placed in the EDF as a fraction dedicated to researching and studying monsters both old and new.

• Weird signals are discovered originating from a newly discovered planet on the far side of Jupiter dubbed "Planet X". This gets the attention of the United Nations, who fear it is another race of alien invaders. Astronauts Glenn and Fuji are sent to Planet X in the P-1 to investigate. When they arrive, they discover a race of subterranean, machine-like aliens called Xiliens, who are forced to live underground due to devastating attacks by a mysterious monster they call "Monster Zero". Needing the help of the Monster Zero One and Two (Godzilla and RODAN III respectively), who they reveal are residing in Lake Myojin and Mt. Aso respectively, the Xiliens offer a miracle drug that cures all forms of disease in exchange for the two kaiju. The deal is made and the astronauts return to Earth to spread word of the Xiliens to the UN. Princess Salno flies to Japan from her country of Selgina in order to escape assassination, but her plane is destroyed mid-flight. She soon turns up alive, but is claiming she is a Venusian prophetess. She tells the people of Earth not to trust the Xiliens, claiming that they will unleash devastation on Earth with the planet-destroying monster King Ghidorah, but no one believes her. Not too long after her message, three Xilien saucers emerge from Lake Myojin, revealing that some Xiliens have been hiding on Earth. This discovery raises suspicion from Glenn, Fuji, and Dr. Sakurai. The transport Xilien saucers collect Godzilla and Rodan and place them inside transport bubbles in order to take them into outer space. With Glenn, Fuji, and Sakurai on board the third saucer, the three ships fly off to Planet X. Meanwhile, Detective Shindo Nakanishi and his reporter sister Junko Nakanishi help protect Princess Salno from her assassins who have arrived in Japan to finish their job while trying to return her to normal. Also, Tetsuo Teri tries to figure out what's going on regarding his invention, the Lady Guard, and why it's taking so long for it to get on the market, along with Miss Namikawa, astronaut Glenn's fianc驀, the Lady Gaurd's marketing executive, and an Xilien. This results in Tetsuo getting captured by the Xiliens stationed on Earth when he follows Namikawa to their base. On Planet X, Godzilla and Rodan fight King Ghidorah, driving the space monster off into space. During the battle, Glenn and Fuji sneak off and discover that there isn't any water on Planet X, but a whole lot of gold. In addition, Glenn discovers women who look exactly like Namikawa on the planet, confusing him. The Controller of Planet X gives the three men a tape containing the formula for the miracle drug, but when it's played back on Earth, it turns out to be a list of demands from the Xiliens; the main order being Earth's surrender. The evil aliens reveal that the monsters Godzilla and Rodan are now under their mind-control waves, explaining that if Earth does not surrender in 24 hours they will order the monsters to attack Earth's cities. The scientists of Earth soon figure out how to block the mind-control waves A-Cycle Light Rays. Elsewhere, Glenn is captured by the Xiliens on Earth after Namikawa is disintegrated by the Xiliens for disobeying their computer's orders and is placed in the same cell as Tetsuo. Upon finding out that the cell is sound-proof, in addition to reading a note Namikawa placed in Glenn's pocket before she was terminated, they learn that the Xiliens' weakness are loud sounds. Testuo uses his Lady Guard device, which allows him and Glenn to escape their captors and return to Fuji and the others. As the scientists work hard, the Xiliens soon catch on to what the humans are doing and release Godzilla and Rodan to attack Tokyo. Their invasion force from Planet X arrives, led by King Ghidorah, who was under their mind-control the entire time. The invasion force joins Godzilla and Rodan in their assault. The Gotengo is deployed as the newly constructed A-Cycle Light Ray vehicles begin terminating the control the Xiliens hold over Godzilla, Rodan, and even King Ghidorah. Once free of the Xiliens' control, Godzilla and Rodan begin fighting each other while King Ghidorah angrily starts assaulting the countryside and the Gotengo leads the assault against the Xiliens. The two Mothra larvae from Infant Island arrive to battle King Ghidorah, but knowing they don't stand a chance by themselves, they try to enlist Godzilla and Rodan's help. The stubborn kaiju refuse to help them, seeing no reason to help humanity after the way they've been treated by humans all these years. The Mothra larvae decide to fight Ghidorah on their own, which inspires Godzilla and Rodan to put aside their differences and help them. As the four Earth monsters battle King Ghidorah, the Gotengo finally defeats the Xilien invasion force, driving the surviving Xiliens back into outer space. Badly beaten and very wounded, King Ghidorah flees with the saucers. Although victory is achieved, one of the Mothra larvae dies in the battle, leaving the sole surviving Mothra larva to return to Infant Island alone. Princess Salno returns to normal after having a near-death experience due to nearly being shot in the head by one of her assassins and returns to Selgina. Glenn is sent back to Planet X as an ambassador so the people of Earth can seek peaceful relations with the remaining Xiliens on Planet X.

1966

• The United Nations establishes an embassy on Planet X, which in turn leads to the X-Council's creation, the leading government on Planet X.

• Maser technology is improved, leading to the creation of the Type 66 Maser Cannon. The Markalite Squadron, who mainly use remote-controlled Maser Cannons and smaller portable versions of the Markalite Cannons, along with tanks and fighter jets, is formed by the EDF in order to prevent the loss of JSDF soldiers in combat against kaiju.

• After sailing across the ocean to find Yata's missing brother, Ryota, a group of shipwreck survivors consisting of Yata, Ichino, Nita, and the bank robber Yoshimura wreck on Letchi Island after their boat is destroyed by a mysterious red claw during a storm. Upon climbing one of the island's many mountains, they discover a base operated by the terrorist organization Red Bamboo. Watching from the cliffs, they witness slaves from Infant Island being transported to the base. Two of the slaves manage to escape into the water on a boat, but just when it seems as though the men would get away, EBIRAH, the Red Bamboo's watchdog of the sea, rises up from the sea and eats them. Recognizing Ebirah's red claw, they deduce that the giant lobster is what sunk their ship. While that is going on, another native by the name of Daiyo escapes and comes across the shipwreck survivors. After befriending them, they flee from the Red Bamboo, who are searching for Daiyo, and hide in one of the cliff-side caves. It doesn't take long before they discover Godzilla, who has been attracted there by the Red Bamboo's nuclear stockpile, sleeping inside. During a raid to steal supplies from the terrorists, the group discovers that the terrorists are making nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, they are discovered, Nita is captured, and Yata's foot gets caught on a spy balloon which flies off into the sky. The balloon lands on Infant Island where he finds his brother Ryota. Nita is placed in the slave's chamber where he learns that the Infant Island slaves are forced to make a repellant of sorts out of yellow fruit that keeps Ebirah away. Nita quickly comes up with a plan to make fake repellant by using the fruits' outsides instead of the insides. Yoshimura and the others soon come up with an idea to wake up Godzilla using shock treatment with the sword they found earlier and wire they stole to create a makeshift lightning rod. A storm hits the island as Yata and Ryota return from Infant Island, which produces lighting that awakens Godzilla. As Ebirah descends on the two men, they are saved by the arrival of Godzilla, who emerges from the side of the rock wall. Godzilla drives off Ebirah, and Yata and Ryota reunite with the others. As they try to free the slaves, Godzilla arrives nearby to take a nap. Suddenly, a flock of OOKONDORUS arrive and Godzilla does battle with them, along with a fleet of Red Bamboo fighter jets. Sensing the nuclear energy inside the terrorists' base, Godzilla attacks and destroys their base before absorbing the energy inside their nuclear reactor. Unfortunately, the Red Bamboo commander orders for the island's destruction as Godzilla attacks them, causing a timer that will cause the island to self-destruct in a nuclear blast. Godzilla smashes the building where the timer is set, causing debris to block it and make it impossible to switch off. With the slaves freed, Yata and Ryota tell them to make a large net, per instructions from Moll and Lora. When the Red Bamboo flees, Ebirah destroys their boat due to their false yellow liquid repellant. Godzilla and Ebirah have a rematch as Mothra, now an imago, arrives. Godzilla ends the battle by ripping off both of Ebirah's claws. Not knowing this isn't the adult Mothra he fought a few years prior, Godzilla attempts to attack Mothra while the humans get into the net. Not having the time to deal with Godzilla, Mothra smacks him aside with her wings and carries the net full of humans off the island. Godzilla soon follows before the island explodes, wiping it off the face of the Earth.

• Out in the ocean one stormy night, a giant octopus attacks a ship until it's driven off by a green humanoid kaiju named GAIRA. After vanquishing the octopus, Gaira smashes the ship and begins eating the sailors. The sole survivor of the attack tells his story, but no one, aside from doctors Bowen, Sueko, and Kawaji, believes him. Later on a cloudy day, Gaira comes ashore at Haneda Airport, but his assault doesn't last long due to the sun coming back out. Unable to handle the sunlight, Gaira retreats back into the water. Believing the mystery kaiju is Frankenstein, Monarch asks Bowen, Sueko, and Kawaji for their thoughts. Later that night, Gaira attacks Tokyo, but his rampage is stopped once the beast is lured into the forest where a trap has been set. Once he's in position, spotlights shine in his face, angering him and revealing that he isn't Frankenstein. Gaira is corralled into a valley by the Markalite Squadron where he is attacked by electricity and both Maser and Markalite Cannons. Just when it seems like Gaira will be killed, another monster emerges from the forest. SANDA, Gaira's brother, quickly comes to his brother's rescue and destroys the military vehicles before dragging Gaira to safety. Bowen and his friends believe that Sanda was the creature they found and raised all those years ago and try to get the Markalite Squadron to not harm Sanda. The three scientists go searching for Sanda and are saved by the brown gargantua when they nearly fall off a cliff. With tissue samples from both monsters found in the forest by the scientists, they report that Sanda and Gaira's DNA matches Frankenstein's DNA. Meanwhile in the forest, Gaira attacks and eats a group of hikers. When Sanda discovers their shredded clothes, he is angered by the fact that Gaira eats humans. Attacking his brother, Sanda and Gaira battle in the forest before Gaira flees to Tokyo. Sanda chases after him to try to apologize and calm him down, but the green gargantua won't listen and continues their battle in the city. Despite this, Sanda tries several more times to calm Gaira as their battle takes them through the city, but like before, Gaira ignores his attempts. Not wanting any pieces of the gargantuas that are blown off to create new creatures in the city, the Markalite Squadron is unable to attack them. The gargantuas battle takes them out into the open ocean, where the Markalite Squadron begins opening fire on both kaiju, bombing them from above. Their attack causes an underwater volcano to erupt and both gargantuas are killed in the eruption without a trace.

• Astronaut Glenn becomes a celebrity on Earth for being one of the first ambassadors for Planet X and gets married to an Xilien woman; X-175B19.

1967

• A Japanese research team led by Dr. Kusumi is sent by the United Nations to Solgell Island in order to perform an experiment that will hopefully put an end to the rising hunger crisis. With the experimental weather control system they're using, it's hoped that it will be possible to make certain places in the world better for crops to grow in, such as the desert or the arctic tundra. Reporter Goro Maki, looking for a story, parachutes onto the island and agrees to help the scientists with their experiment. On the first night of his stay, Maki learns of the man-sized mantises dubbed "GIMANTIDS" that live on the island. While exploring the island's interior for plants to cook, Goro comes across a girl swimming, but when he tries to take her picture, he stumbles and alerts her to his presence. She quickly disappears under the water before he can get a picture, so no one believes him about her. The test is conducted on schedule, but during it, Goro goes searching for the girl in order to warn her about what's going on. A mysterious signal interferes with the scientists' equipment, causing the radioactive balloon necessary for the process to detonate prematurely. What follows is a radioactive storm that lasts for a few weeks that not only raises the island's temperature and make it unbearably hot, it also mutates the Gimantids and their queen, KAMACURAS, into kaiju. When the temperature outside lowers a little bit, the scientists start checking their equipment for functionality, but they are interrupted by Kamacuras and three Gimantids. Godzilla arrives on the island at this time, having been drawn there by the massive amounts of radioactivity released. Godzilla battles the giant mantises, killing the Gimanitds and sending Kamacuras into retreat. Unfortunately, the battle destroys most of the team's equipment. Meanwhile, Goro wakes up in a cave that he soon discovers is where the girl he saw earlier, named Riko Matsumiya lives. Goro takes Riko back to the team and she explains that they can use her cave to conduct another experiment. Not too long after they move their equipment into the cave, most of the team falls ill due to heat sickness. Riko knows that the "red water" on the island can cure them, so she and Goro go out to get some. As they head past a deep chasm, Riko tells Goro to watch where he steps due to the chasm being the lair of KUMONGA. Once the arrive in the area where the red water is, the spot Godzilla nearby. Noticing that the monster is sleeping, Riko and Goro get the water without any trouble. Just as they leave, Kamacuras and a group of her Gimantids arrive to fight Godzilla. The Monster King is awoken, causing the humans to flee as the monster insects fight him. After killing the Gimantids, Godzilla chases after the retreating Kamacuras and incidentally wakes up Kumonga, who follows him. Riko and Goro manage to return to the cave in one piece and give the scientists the water, curing them. A three-way battle between Godzilla, Kamacuras, and Kumonga begins above the cave, forcing the scientists to quickly perform their experiment. They manage to succeed and the island becomes a winter wonderland. Godzilla defeats Kamacuras and Kumonga, leaving them for dead in the snow. The research team is rescued by a submarine sent by the UN shortly after Godzilla's victory and they watch as the Monster King leaves the snow-covered island, heading for parts unknown.

• The Explorer, a submarine commanded by Carl Nelson, is damaged by an undersea rockslide near Faro Island. Knowing of King Kong, he leads a group consisting of Lieutenant Commander Jiro Nomura and Lieutenant Susan Watson to investigate the island to see if Kong is still alive. While Jiro and Carl look around in the jungle, Susan stays by the Hover Car until an enormous Gorosaurus comes across her. The 50 meter dinosaur begins hunting her, but her screams awaken King Kong. The mighty gorilla god comes to her rescue and fights the Gorosaurus. Kong eventually wins by breaking the dinosaur's jaw, sending it retreating into the jungle. During the battle, the Carl and Jiro rush back to the Hover Car with Susan and return to the submarine. Just as they are about to make it back safely, a GIANT SEA SNAKE attacks them. Luckily, King Kong, who has been searching for Susan after his victory, comes to their rescue by hurling boulders at the giant serpent before wrestling it in the water. The Hover Car makes it to the Explorer just as Kong finishes off the sea snake. Due to Kong being attracted to Susan, he prevents the submarine from leaving by beating on it until she comes out. Susan tells Kong to head back to shore so that they can leave, which he reluctantly does. From the shore, the gorilla god watches as the love of his life heads back inside the submarine. Meanwhile, the international Judas, Dr. Who, is paid handsomely by an Asiatic country, possibly North Korea, to mine the highly radioactive Element X that is only found in the North Pole. Supervising the whole operation is a woman under the alias of Madame Piranha. Using MECHANI-KONG, a robotic duplicate of King Kong that he constructed after swiping Carl Nelson's blueprints, Who sends it to mine Element X, but the radioactivity is powerful enough to short out the mecha's circuits. At the Explorer crew's press conference in New York City, they reveal that King Kong is still alive and that the UN has given them orders to return to the island. Madame Piranha, who is at the press conference, learns of this and contacts Dr. Who. Knowing the real Kong would be much better suited to mine Element X than Mechani-Kong due to being unaffected by radioactivity, Who flies out to Faro. Using gas bombs to knock Kong unconscious, he is tied to helicopters that carry him to Who's base in the North Pole. Using Mechani-Kong's hypnosis device, Dr. Who places a radio earpiece and commands the ape to mine Element X. Unfortunately, Dr. Who underestimates the power of Element X once again because the radiation shorts out the earpiece. With King Kong free of Dr. Who's control, the giant ape starts rampaging angrily through the cave towards the interior of the base, but before he can get inside, he is isolated by a steel door. Realizing he needs Susan Watson in order to control the big ape, Dr. Who orders his men to bring Carl, Jiro, and Susan to him. When the three are brought to him, Dr. Who tries various means to get Susan to cooperate with him, but when her terrified screams reach Kong's ears, it enrages the gorilla and he smashes through the steel door. As King Kong rampages through the base in order to find the way out, he manages to create an exit by smashing a wall and escapes from the base. Kong leaps into the Arctic water and begins swimming to Japan. With Mechani-Kong inside his enormous ship, Dr. Who and his captives follow the ape. They follow King Kong to Tokyo and Madame Piranha learns that Who intends to release Mechani-Kong into the city to fight Kong. Fearing that the destruction will cause an international incident between her country and Japan, she tries to stop him. Unable to reason with him, she goes to where Carl, Jiro, and Susan are being held and frees them, telling them to prevent as much damage as possible. The three heroes head into the city where the Markalite Squadron is about to attack King Kong. Fortunately, Susan manages to convince them not to attack, but Mechani-Kong arrives on the scene and tries to hypnotize Kong again. Jiro damages the hypnotic device by shooting it with his rifle, but that only makes the robot ape resort to kidnapping Susan in order to have Kong listen to Dr. Who. As the robot ape climbs Tokyo Tower, Dr. Who threatens to have Mechani-Kong drop Susan if Kong doesn't listen. The giant ape still pursues his robotic double and Who stays true to his word, dropping Susan. King Kong catches her and puts her in a safe place inside Tokyo Tower where Jiro comes to save her. The two apes begin battling on the tower with Kong being able to hold his own by absorbing the electricity inside Tokyo Tower to power himself up. Just when it seems that the battle will remain a stalemate, Madame Piranha destroys the controls for Mechani-Kong before being shot and killed by Dr. Who. Mechani-Kong loses its grip and falls to the street below, shattering into many pieces upon impact. As Kong climbs down to the streets, Susan and the others notice Dr. Who's ship leaving. Susan tells Kong to stop the ship before it can get away. Not wanting to disappoint his love, the giant ape chases after the ship and uses his impressive strength to sink it, killing Dr. Who and his henchmen inside. With his enemies vanquished and his friends safe, King Kong returns to Faro Island.

• The Operation Latchkey nuclear test Midi Mist is conducted in an underground tunnel in the Nevada desert, which creates the GIANT DESERT LIZARD and GIANT DESERT RAT.

• An alien kaiju is detected in outer space heading for Earth by the EDF, which Monarch names REDMOON. Discovering that the monster is heading straight for Okinawa, the Gotengo is deployed in order to stop it. The Gotengo intercepts it in the Philippine Sea and a brief battle occurs that diverts Redmoon's course to Habu Island. Just as Redmoon is about to make a final stand against the Gotengo on the island, the EDF inform the Gotengo crew that another space kaiju, which Monarch names ERABUS, has been detected heading for Earth and that it's heading straight for Habu Island. Believing that this new monster is chasing Redmoon in order to kill it, the Gotengo flies out of Redmoon's sight range in the hopes that the two monsters will end up killing each other on the uninhabited island. When Erabus lands on the island, Monarch observes the creatures and soon discovers that they are male and female of the same species. After mating, Erabus gives birth to a baby kaiju named HAFUN. The EDF makes preparations for the Markalite Squadron to eliminate all three monsters before they attack a major city while news of the baby monster spreads throughout the world. Seeing a profit can be made from the infant kaiju, entrepreneur Masa Suzuki sends a group of three helicopters to Habu Island in the middle of the night carrying a team of animal trappers and mercenaries to kidnap Hafun. The animal trappers use chloroform gas to knock out Hafun while the mercenaries distract Redmoon and Erabus with high intensity lights. The kaiju-nappers quickly flee from the island with Hafun being carried by the helicopters using powerful wires, but it isn't long before the parents are in pursuit. When Hafun dies from inhaling too much chloroform, Suzuki has the dead infant's body dropped in order to give the helicopters more speed. Angered by the death of their child, Redmoon and Erabus destroy the helicopters and begin attacking Okinawa. With informative aid from Monarch, the Markalite Squadron is deployed by the EDF, but their assault on the monsters does nothing more than anger them further. The Azumi Royal Family tries to awaken KING CAESAR to fight off the monsters, but without the statue to destroy part of the rock formation where the deity sleeps, Caesar is unable to hear the song that awakens him. When Monarch learns of the Royal Family's efforts, they manage to convince the EDF to send a small unit of the Markalite Squadron's maser vehicles to King Caesar's resting place in order to blast apart the rocky formation until Caesar's sleeping form is revealed. Nami, the Azumi Royal Princess, begins singing to King Caesar and wakes him up. The maser cannons lead King Caesar to Redmoon and Erabus, causing the stone guardian to begin fighting the space kaiju. King Caesar eventually kills them using his brute strength and his energy-reflecting eyes. With his people safe, the stone lion returns to his cliffside and falls back to sleep.
