The
hurricane traveled north, its winds whipping the ocean into a blinding
salt spray. As it approached Japan, its winds increased in speed until
one could barely see. Awnings were flying through the air as though they
were sparrows; other structures hurtled past as though they were toys tossed
around by an angry three year old.
The next day, the sky had changed dramatically. No sign of malevolent turbulence now; only a peaceful, calm sky and a bright shining sun shining its light on the flooded wreckage.... Japan had experienced the writhing fury of Hurricane A. The flooding required pumps to evacuate the water back into the sea. The hurricane also washed a giant egg into the sea. When the Japanese fishermen saw it, there it was, floating on the water. The men towed the egg back to shore and sold it to an enterpreneur by the name of Kumayama. Kumayama
was a greedy sort who was backed by an even more avaricious fellow named
Jiro Torahata. The two were planning to exhibit the egg and make a spectacle
of it when they have two unexpected guests. The two six-inch guardians
of the egg came to reason with the men, but instead ended up running for
their lives when the men attempted to capture them. So the twin girls next
befriend a reporter named Sakai, a photographer named Yunka, and professor
Miura.
In
a last ditch effort Sakai, Yunka, and the prof fly to Infant Island to
ask Mothra (a.k.a. the Thing) for her help. They land on Infant Island
and find it a bare, dead, sterile land as a result of nuclear tests. The
natives, angry about the destruction of their gorgeous island home and
even angrier at the refusal to return their egg, refuse to consider Sakai
and Yunka's plea for the Thing's assistance against Godzilla.
Back
in Japan, Godzilla is having a good old time smashing everything up. Mothra
arrives to protect her egg, now encased in a giant incubator, from Godzilla's
Mothra omelette appetite. Godzilla is knocked for a loop, for in spite
of her weakened condition Mothra is still a formidable foe; however, before
too long Mothra sinks to the ground and dies.
