GODZILLA has emerged from the ocean off the coast of Japan. RODAN has hatched from an egg in Russia. BATTRA has been released off the coast of France. KUMONGA has burst from the ground in the midwestern United States. KING GHIDORAH has burst free of his prison in the mountains of Asia. A month has passed since Godzilla made landfall in the United States, and President Ogden's government responded with a final countermeasure: MECHAGODZILLA was developed in Detroit and sent to confront GODZILLA. During the battle, a major malfunction caused MECHAGODZILLA to turn on humanity. The government went underground, civilization crumbled and people now roam the country seeking food and shelter, growing more and more desperate by the day. In France, the evil twins are suddenly attacked by RODAN, as BATTRA emerges from the cocoon in his winged form. While the two flying giants face off, the twins order the beasts to stop… a command both BATTRA and RODAN obey. The twins decide to head west, ready to test their newfound abilities on GODZILLA himself… Meanwhile, as GODZILLA continues to demolish Washington D.C., a guardian for mankind arrives to stop him… KING GHIDORAH!
