The Plot to "Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster"

 
Ok, so this one has two names. Anyway, on with the synopsis... An archaelogist named Shimizu and his brother, Masaiko, are at an Izumi dance when the dancer suddenly has a horrible vision: Monsters have come up from the earth to spread disaster and death everywhere. She falls over in a dead faint. When she comes to she tells her grandfather what she saw. 

A little shaken, Kosuki Shimizu and Masaiko return home. Shimizu finds a strange statue in the cave. A woman archaeologist takes a look at both the statue and the cave paintings and points to a prophecy: " When a black mountain appears in the sky, a monster shall arise and try to destroy the world; when the moon is red and the sun rises west, two monsters will appear to save the people." 

As they are flying in a jetliner to Tokyo, they notice a huge black cumulonimbus cloud in the shape of Mt. Fuji...the black mountain. Soon afterward, Godzilla appears at Mt. Fuji and begins to knock down buildings. Angorus appears but has the hell beaten out of him by Godzilla and has his jaw broken. Injured, bleeding, and humiliated, Angorus returns to his domain deep within the earth. Shimizu is driving along and witnesses the battle, and noticed that Godzilla is wounded, but.....it isn't the dark red flesh that would normally show, but it glows silver!

Godzilla goes to Tokyo's business section to trample on it, and is doing his normal fine job when, out of the woodwork comes...another Godzilla! Masaiko and Professor Miyajima and his daughter, Reiko, are stunned! The second Godzilla blasts the first one with his radioactive breath. Before their eyes, sparks fly from the first Godzilla! Then the first one's flesh burns off of him altogether, to reveal a metal version of Godzilla underneath. MechaGodzilla and Godzilla do battle; MechaGodzilla fires his eye beam which Godzilla counters with his breath weapon. The force of the resulting explosion knocks Godzilla into the water and causes him so start bleeding; it also causes MechaGodzilla to malfunction. The space aliens controlling the metal kaiju bring him back to the base for repairs. 
To save time, the alien commander kidnaps Professor Miyajima, Masaiko and Reiko as they are looking around in the cave for more space titanium. They force the Prof to repair the robot monster; and then they try to kill the three of them. Shimizu and the Interpol agent break into the alien base and rescue them! Once outside the base,Reiko suddenly points out that the moon is a startling shade of bright red. 
Masaiko, Miyajima and the Interpol agent go back in to take care of the aliens only to be captured again. Meanwhile, Shimizu and the woman go to Okinawa with the statue. When the sun began to rise, it cast a mirror image of itself in the west! Placed in the proper position, the statue's eyes began to glow! Suddenly a ray of light shoots out and blasts a mountain open, revealing King Caesar, protector and guardian of the Izumis! King Caesar and Godzilla team up to fight MechaGodzilla. At the film's end, MechaGodzilla explodes into about a million pieces, Godzilla goes back into the ocean, and King Caesar, content that his work is finished, disappears back into the side of the mountain...
