1992- After Godzilla's recent appearances in Japan, a special branch of the U.N. has been named the Godzilla Countermeasures Unit and designated to keep Godzilla out of Japan. After the crushing defeat of MechaKing Ghidora, the Godzilla force managed to salvage what was left of the mechanical super cyborg and borrow the 23rd century technology to give birth to new and better anti-Godzilla weaponry. The first machine, Garuda, though it excelled in flight ability, presented serious problems as far as hand to hand combat went. The G-Force went on to build a mechanical replica of the monster, coated with artificial diamond and equipped with an extra-powerful Plasma Grenade, which when Godzilla fired its breath weapon, it would amplify the concentrated ray and turn it on Godzilla. Truly, to date, this was the most powerful weapon ever conceived by man. The
inventor of the Garuda sat inside its cockpit hammering away at the keyboard
of a Macintosh powerbook. Kazuma Aoki, clad in coveralls over suit pants,
a shirt and necktie, wiped the sweat from his brow. Suddenly on the viewscreen,
he saw his supervisor and a young lady approach. Cursing underneath his
breath, he got out of the Garuda and shed the coveralls. Putting his suit
jacket back on, and adjusting his tie, Aoki pulled out a notebook and tried
to look busy. Aoki finds out that the lovely young lady accompanying his
supervisor is his replacement. He's been dismissed from the Robotics Department
and assigned to G-Force.
Adonoa Island -- Winter, 1992. A group of scientists is dispatched to this area. While drilling for oil with the Russians here, the Japanese discovered an incredible find: Pteranodon fossils and an egg that is of indeterminate origin but in incredible condition! Later that evening, one of the scientists, named Omae, and his assisant, Azusa Gojo, see the egg turning red. The Russian with them spots a living Pteranodon! Rodan
has appeared on the island. It trashes the camp by flying overhead, igniting
tents from an overturned fuel can. The frantic scientists manage to secure
the egg and get it into the helicopter. As the terrified group makes their
way to the beach, they see a bright, blinding light emanating from the
ocean's depths. Godzilla has arrived!
Aoki
saw the news story about the egg on TV. Thinking it to be a pteranodon,
he rushes to the lab in Kyoto. Once there, he sees it all: the egg, with
monitors attached to a computer; the pretty lady sitting at the interface.
Azusa Gojo has been assigned to watch the egg carefully for changes in
temperature, movement, etc. She wondered what this man was doing here.
Azusa Gojo went down to Dr. Omae's office. Omae told her that the egg has indeed been changing color, as Azusa said. Omae also told her that the egg turned red when it was frightened or stressed. It turned red whenever Azusa was out of the room. Omae speculated that whatever was inside the egg, it had adopted Azusa for its mother. Upon hearing this, Azusa was amazed. She
went back to the lab and was mulling this over when the phone rang. She
answered it, only to find herself talking to...Aoki.
Aoki went to the cafeteria for lunch. He finds himself sitting next to Miki Saegusa, the psychic girl. Miki detects something emanating from the plant, so the two take it to the Psyonic Center where they turn the psychic children loose on it. The
next day, Aoki returns the plant and a tape to the lab for Dr. Omae's interest.
Playing the tape, the three listen to it intently.
Miki senses danger approaching. With her telepathy, she reached out; she felt Godzilla approaching. Quickly they move Baby to the basement. Godzilla approaches the building. He seems to know that his youngster is inside; but, frustrated, he knocks over half the building and turns around and heads back to the ocean. Since the building can no longer be used, Baby is transported to a holding pen several hundred miles away. The
next day, Takuya Sasaki chews Aoki up one side of Mt. Fuji and down the
other for not being there when MechaGodzilla was launched. MechaGodzilla
had intercepted its organic prototype (Godzilla, what else?) and had successfully
mown him down until the Shock Anchors were launched. What Sasaki hadn't
counted on was Godzilla's own shock wave.
Sasaki was really angry; not only at MechaGodzilla's defeat but at Aoki's antics. As a punishment, he demoted Aoki to parking lot duty. MechaGodzilla was getting worked on in the repair shop. Dr. Asimov was the main robotics scientist in charge of MechaGodzilla's schematics. Aoki the parking lot attendant accosts Asimov in the parking garage. He proposes combining Garuda and MechaGodzilla in such a way as to increase MechaGodzilla's striking power and create "SuperMechaGodzilla." As a reward for his ingenuity, Aoki is reinstated to the robotics department. The
military is also working on a new weapon for MechaGodzilla: G-Crusher.
Studies done on the Baby Godzilla point to the existence of the sacral
brain, a bundle of nerves in charge of operating the lower body. The plan
is to use Miki's telepathy to locate the one in Godzilla, fire the Shock
Anchors into the area, and destroy Godzilla's sacral brain with high-voltage
currents of electricity. The only catch is, the military wants to use Baby
to lure Godzilla to an undeveloped archipelago.
Rodan appears in Japan and destroys the helicopter taking Baby and Azusa. He grabs the transport with his talons, carrying Baby and Azusa away... The crew of MechaGodzilla is preparing for takeoff to combat Rodan. Aoki somehow steals the Garuda and joins MechaGodzilla for the operation. Hearing about the demise of the transport chopper and of the uncertain fate of Azusa, Aoki decides to take action! Sasaki reluctantly decides to allow Aoki to join the mission. Rodan lands and begins to destroy the transport. A panicked Baby begins to utter loud shrieks and Azusa isn't so self-possessed herself. Aoki flies in and tries to lure Rodan away by shooting at him. Rodan follows after the Garuda. MechaGodzilla and Rodan get into a fight. The crew discovers that with Godzilla and Rodan's battle on Adonoa Island, and Rodan's subsequent exposure to Godzilla's radiation, Rodan now has a breath weapon of his very own. They use this to their own advantage and shoot Rodan down with MechaGodzilla's Plasma Grenade. The giant pteranodon falls to the ground, blood streaming from his mouth and a huge gaping wound in his chest. Godzilla arrives as the army is trying to free Azusa and Baby from the damaged container. Godzilla and MechaGodzilla begin to battle each other once again. Simultaneously they each fired their prospective breath rays; which counteracted each other, resulting in a huge explosion which shorts MechaGodzilla temporarily and knocks Godzilla on his butt. Godzilla gets up and pummels MechaGodzilla with all his might. Aoki shoots Godzilla down and connects Garuda with MechaGodzilla to form SuperMechaGodzilla. They
continue to fire at the hapless Godzilla. Godzilla, weakened, begins to
stumble. Miki donned her telepath-interface helmet and with her telepathy
reached out to Godzilla. She searched through everything: the taut tendons,
tensed muscles, and huge bones until she found what she sought... There
is was, the sacral brain; pulsating as it sent nerve impulses from Godzilla's
reptilian brain to his lower body. She knew what she was expected to do,
but still, she hesitated. I can't do this, she admonished herself, suddenly
pulling off the helmet.
In
contrast, the pilot of the Garuda was ecstatic. "We did it! We really did
it! We really are the G-Force!" Aoki exclaimed. His thoughts turned to
someone else. "Well, everyone, see you later!" he said airily. He took
off in the flying machine he had built. Carefully (it had run out of fuel
the last time) he descended through the air and set down gently on the
ground next to the container. Frantically he pushed past the welder who
was trying to cut through the metal to get Azusa and Baby out of there.
He pounded on the door, yelling, "Azusa chan! Are you all right?"
"O.K., finish him," Commander Sasaki said. SuperMechaGodzilla threw everything it had at Godzilla, laying prostrate on the ground. Godzilla was done for this time. Godzilla lay helplessly as SuperMechaGodzilla's arsenal pounded him; he felt the pain fade as he lost consciousness; his reptilian heart gave out. Baby felt that something was deadly wrong. Suddenly he was alone in the world. If he had been capable of rational thought, his impulse would have translated into "NO!!!!!!" Roaring his protest, Baby slammed his weight against the confines of the door. The welder nearly got smacked in the face as Baby threw the door open. Baby gave a loud call, a long, ululating wail of grief which reached Rodan's ears. Through the fog of its unconcious daze, Rodan heard the loud, piercing cry. Opening its eyes, the giant pteranodon awoke; then, lifting itself off the ground, flew over to where Godzilla lay. Unfortunately, Sasaki saw it and fired a shot in Rodan's direction. In a cloud of sulfur and smoke, Rodan fell on top of Godzilla. Stretching its beak, it lay down on top of Godzilla's dorsal fin. Rodan began to glow... On board SMG, Sasaki looked on with curiosity at the scene. He had finished off Rodan, but why had it moved to Godzilla's position? And what was the cause of all that sparkling dust...? Miki looked on, and with a hint of hope in her voice, she explained to Sasaki that Rodan was withering away and passing on his life force to Godzilla. Looking into the telepath's helmet, she saw... ...the damaged nerves regenerating, the severed ends fusing back together... ...and a sudden jolt of electricity traveling through the shock anchor and into her eyes caused her to let out an agonized scream. In concern, Sasaki checked to see that Miki was all right; then, looking back through the portal, he saw Godzilla, alive, well, and ready to fight. With a sinking feeling, he saw the artificial diamond coating melting off of SuperMechaGodzilla's exterior. Uh-oh, he thought. Aoki and Azusa watched from a distance as Godzilla rose from where he lay dead before! They saw the tiny point of light distance itself from the SMG as Godzilla wiped it out with a bright red blast of increased thermonuclear radiation. Aoki knew that SuperMechaGodzilla was no more, but at least the crew was safe. They
both knew that it was time to go before Godzilla came to where Baby was.
Tearfully, Azusa bid the baby Godzilla farewell; then entering the helicopter,
she watched as Baby stared at the helicopter in the sky. She watched as
the gigantic Godzilla lumbered into the strip of grass to where Baby was;
she watched as Baby scooted away from Godzilla toward the security of the
container. She worried that the longer Baby resisted, the worse things
would be.
