Special thanks to Yoshiko Fukuda and everyone at Toho for their invaluable assistance.

GODZILLA has emerged from the ocean off the coast of Japan. ANGUIRUS has risen

from the ground in Mexico. RODAN has hatched from an egg in Russia. BATTRA has

re-emerged from his cocoon in France. KUMONGA has burst from the ground in the

midwestern United States. KING GHIDORAH has been released from his prison in the

mountains of Asia.

And things are just getting worse: GODZILLA continues to rampage all over the United

States, easily fighting off even humanity's last line of defense, MECHAGODZILLA. The

super-weapon was developed in Detroit and sent to confront GODZILLA, only to

malfunction mid-battle and turn on humanity. The government went underground,

civilization crumbled and people began roaming the country seeking food and shelter,

growing more and more desperate by the day.

Meanwhile, as GODZILLA demolished Washington, D.C., KING GHIDORAH arrived to

battle the gargantuan beast. After a devastating brawl, even KING GHIDORAH could

not withstand the mighty power of GODZILLA's atomic breath. He lies defeated at

GODZILLA's feet.

But all hope is not lost: Steven Woods and Allie stumble upon the battle-scarred

MECHAGODZILLA and climb inside. Woods finds the control center, and activates the

manual controls...
