The 3rd installment in the 2nd Godzilla series involves three people from the 23rd century travel back in time to the late 20th century to warn Japan of its terrible fate. The country will become a radioactive wasteland, due to the terrible onslaught of Godzilla. It's decided that the travelers must go back in time to teleport the Big G, in dinosaur form, to another location - to prevent the dinosaur from being exposed to radiation and turning him into the terrible he is now.
Meanwhile, Madison makes her way to Fenway Park, where civilians are being evacuated, and attaches the Orca to the stadium's sound system. Serizawa dons a radiation suit to protect him long enough to arm the warhead, and bids farewell to Stanton, Dr. Chen, and Mark. Before leaving, he entrusts Mark with his notes. When Mark asks Serizawa if he is sure about this, he says he firmly believes that Godzilla is not only proof that man can coexist with the Titans, but he is the key to coexistence.
Serizawa takes the warhead aboard a smaller submarine and departs. The sub surfaces in the air pocket and Serizawa disembarks. Fighting through the lethal radiation and heat, Serizawa drags the warhead to the top of the altar and arms it.
He removes his helmet and approaches Godzilla, who opens his eyes and looks at him. Serizawa gently places his hand on Godzilla's face and says his final words: "Goodbye, old friend. Mark and Chen exit the sub and look to see if Serizawa was successful. They witness a whirlpool open near them, from which Godzilla emerges fully rejuvenated and pulsing with nuclear energy. Godzilla triumphantly fires his atomic breath into the sky, then leans forward and observes the humans.
He briefly locks eyes with Mark before turning and making his way to the East Coast of the U. Upon realizing Madison has taken the Orca, Emma sets out to rescue her. Before she can board a jeep to leave, Jonah and his men surround her. Jonah mocks Emma's preoccupation with finding her daughter over their mission, but she draws a gun on him. Jonah tells his men to let her leave, as they already have everything they need. In Boston, Madison has activated the Orca, which causes the Titans around the world to suddenly cease their rampage.
Ghidorah, however, is alerted to the disturbance and makes his way from Washington D. He is accompanied by a massive storm that sweeps through the city before he lands at the ballpark and searches for the source of the signal.
Ghidorah bites down on the loudspeakers and destroys them, then peers into the pressbox to see Madison inside. He charges his gravity beams and fires them, with Madison barely being able to evade the blasts.
Madison flees into the center of the stadium but is knocked down by a nearby blast from Ghidorah. She defiantly throws the Orca at Ghidorah, who looks down at Madison and prepares to finish her with his gravity beams before being knocked off his feet by a blast of atomic breath.
Madison turns to see Godzilla triumphantly march into the city, accompanied by a full military escort. After Ghidorah gets back up, Godzilla begins running at his foe and the two Titans collide with each other, producing a shockwave that reaches the Argo. Now back aboard the Argo with the others, Stanton determines that the amount of radiation Godzilla absorbed from the explosion is too great, meaning he will explode like an atomic bomb in about 12 minutes.
The priority becomes rescuing Madison before this happens, and Mark accompanies G-Team to Fenway Park inside two Ospreys while Godzilla and Ghidorah battle to the death. Ghidorah begins to gain the upper hand over Godzilla, but Mothra arrives and pins his heads against a building by spitting silk at them. Ghidorah tries to free his heads but Godzilla seizes the opportunity to tackle him through the building. As Godzilla closes in on him, Ghidorah calls out to Rodan, who arrives and attacks Mothra.
With Godzilla and Ghidorah fighting on the ground while Mothra and Rodan duel in the sky, Madison seeks refuge in her and her mother's former home in Boston. Emma pulls up in her jeep and orders them all to get in. They are able to track Madison down to the house, and find her unconscious hiding inside a bathtub. Fortunately, she regains consciousness and the family is reunited at last in an embrace. Rodan seriously injures Mothra by burning her wings, and slams her against a skyscraper.
Mothra uses her claws to knock Rodan off the side of the building, but he immediately flies back and pins her on the top of the building. Mothra dodges as Rodan attempts to stab her with his beak, and finally impales him through the chest with her stinger.
Rodan looks down in shock as the sting immobilizes him, and he soon falls screaming furiously into the flaming city below. Ghidorah feeds on a nearby electrical transformer, charging his body with electrical energy that he projects from his wings in countless directions. He leaps at Godzilla and restrains him with his legs and tails, and begins pulling him into the air.
Ghidorah wraps his middle neck around Godzilla's throat and strangles him until he goes limp, all while flying progressively higher into the sky. After soaring above the clouds, Ghidorah releases Godzilla and sends him plummeting back to the ground. Godzilla strikes the ground lifelessly, and can barely move as Ghidorah lands to finish him off. However, the injured Mothra crawls onto Godzilla and defiantly spreads her wings at Ghidorah. She then flies directly at him, only to be disintegrated by gravity beams from all three of his heads.
Mothra's glowing blue energy descends onto Godzilla, causing red cracks to begin to form on his skin. Ghidorah seizes the opportunity and constricts his necks around Godzilla then bites down on him, draining his energy through his mouths.
Emma and Mark race to repair the Orca so that Ghidorah can be drawn away from Godzilla before he kills him. Once it is activated, Ghidorah releases Godzilla and begins making his way in the humans' direction. As Ghidorah draws near the Osprey, Emma realizes that it won't be able to escape him with the Orca aboard. She takes the Orca and enters the jeep, causing Ghidorah to chase after her while the Osprey escapes.
Ghidorah pursues Emma furiously before destroying the jeep with a gravity beam. Emma is thrown from the vehicle and lands on the ground mortally wounded. As Ghidorah looms over her, she utters the phrase "Long live the king. Godzilla appears behind Ghidorah, the radiation inside his body built to critical levels to the point his skin is covered in fiery fissures and everything around him melts from the intense heat.
Godzilla roars at his nemesis as his dorsal fins spark and glow. A huge nuclear pulse of energy bursts forth from Godzilla, taking the shape of Mothra's wings and making the sound of her screech. The pulse incinerates the flesh from Ghidorah's wings, causing him to reel back. Ghidorah falls onto his back, and frantically fires his gravity beams in retaliation.
Godzilla is unaffected this time, however, and emits another pulse that disintegrates both his left and right heads. As Godzilla stomps down on Ghidorah's chest, the energy inside him finally explodes, leveling a huge portion of Boston in a fiery burst of energy. The rubble left behind begins to move, after which the burned but recognizable head of Ghidorah emerges. However, it is soon revealed to be nothing more than Ghidorah's final disembodied head and is hanging from Godzilla's mouth.
Godzilla fires his atomic breath, igniting Ghidorah's head until it finally burns away into nothing. He prepares to fight again if necessary. Rodan, bearing a massive wound in his chest but still very much alive and mobile, approaches Godzilla and roars up angrily at him. Godzilla stares down at Rodan, and his expression convinces the winged Titan to back down and submit to him.
The other Titans follow suit, each "bowing" in their own way to the new King of the Monsters. In the aftermath of the battle, the Titans have become docile under Godzilla's reign and have helped to rebuild the world's ecosystems. Rodan has nested in a volcano near Fiji, while Monarch has uncovered a new Titan egg that could be another Mothra or something else entirely. Not all is well though, as Skull Island has become unstable and Kong may no longer be able to keep it under control, while a news article cites a source claiming that Monarch is building a " mechanized Titan " on the island.
The waters around Isla de Mara are still contaminated by the Oxygen Destroyer, and local fishermen can no longer make a living. However, one fisherman uncovered something else from the water, something which Jonah and his men have come to Mexico to see.
The man leads Jonah into a room, where he shows the object in question: the head Godzilla had torn off of Ghidorah in their second battle. Jonah observes the head with diabolical intent before simply saying "We'll take it. Godzilla director Gareth Edwards stated that he wanted the film to stand on its own with a definitive ending, with no teaser for a sequel. In an interview with Collider conducted in early August , writer Max Borenstein revealed that he was writing the script for the film, promising that the sequel would do "bigger and even better things" than the first film.
Godzilla titled Godzilla vs. Kong , set for release in and serving as a sequel to both Godzilla 2 and Legendary's Kong: Skull Island. Kong shifted from March 22, and May 29, respectively. The sequel's official title was revealed on December 14, Godzilla: King of the Monsters [18].
On January 23rd, , Variety reported that writer Michael Dougherty would also direct the film. Ishiro Serizawa and Dr. Vivienne Graham , respectively. Following production, TheWrap reported that Jason Liles, who had recently portrayed the giant gorilla George through motion capture in the film Rampage , would be acting as one of King Ghidorah's motion capture actors in the film. Godzilla: King of the Monsters was delayed once more on May 23, , pushed back to May 31, For many members of the cast, the first days of shooting were ironically for the climax of the film in Boston.
Production wrapped on September Entertainment Weekly published a first-look article on Godzilla: King of the Monsters on July 13, , including two stills showing Dr. Emma Russell and her daughter Madison in an icy chamber and Godzilla firing his atomic breath into the sky, as well as some basic plot details from director Michael Dougherty. Dougherty confirmed that composer Bear McCreary , whose past work included 10 Cloverfield Lane and Colossal , would be scoring the film and incorporating the main theme from the original Godzilla and the other monsters' classic motifs into his score.
On September 6, a listing appeared on Amazon for an official graphic novel prequel to Godzilla: King of the Monsters , written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Drew Johnson. New photographs related to Godzilla: Aftershock and Godzilla: King of the Monsters were revealed, including a cave painting depicting a battle between Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah.
In addition, a teaser trailer for Godzilla: Aftershock was screened, revealing the design of Godzilla's new opponent, the parent of the MUTOs from the previous film. MonarchSciences began posting new images of potential Titan sightings on November On December 1, a major presentation for the film was held at Tokyo Comic Con. Michael Dougherty commented on concept art and storyboards for the film before showing teaser footage for the second trailer. Taking their battle to Antarctica , Godzilla eventually defeated Ghidorah and sealed him beneath the ice.
According to Ilene Andrews in Godzilla vs. Kong , Godzilla's species was said to have been in a war with Kong's sometime in the ancient past.
While it is unknown if Godzilla himself was involved in this conflict, bones of what appeared to be fellow members of his species littered the ground inside the massive Kong throne room in the Hollow Earth. The film's novelization instead states that it was only Godzilla that fought Kong's species in their war, killing most of them, and eventually driving the survivors and the Iwi 's ancestors toward the surface of what is now Skull Island , where all but Kong were slaughtered by the Skullcrawlers.
An ancient alpha-predator that thrived during the Late Permian period over million years ago, Godzilla retreated to the ocean depths as the Earth 's surface radiation levels declined, instead of feeding on the planet's natural geothermal radiation. Godzilla remained dormant underwater for hundreds of millions of years, appearing occasionally at various points in human history, inspiring the mythologies of several cultures.
In , an American nuclear submarine unwittingly awakened Godzilla when it reached the lower depths of the ocean, drawing him to the surface in search of new sources of radiation. Godzilla attacked and fed on American and Soviet nuclear submarines in the South Pacific Ocean , with each nation believing the other was responsible for the attacks.
When Godzilla's existence became known, the American military began detonating a series of nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands to try and kill him, under the guise of nuclear testing. On March 1, , Godzilla was lured ashore at Bikini Atoll , where the American military detonated their first-ever dry-fuel hydrogen bomb, codenamed Castle Bravo , in an attempt to kill him. Godzilla vanished following the detonation, and the United States covered up all evidence of his existence.
A scientific organization, known as Monarch , had been formed to study Godzilla and any gigantic creatures like him and continued to search for him in the following decades. In , Godzilla detected the mating call of a MUTO , a parasitic lifeform that lived during Godzilla's time and laid its eggs in corpses of his species.
In order to preserve his own existence, Godzilla came ashore in Honolulu to fight the winged male MUTO before it could reunite with its female counterpart and reproduce. Godzilla dove underwater and continued pursuing his enemy. When the female MUTO emerged in Nevada and began heading to California to reunite with the male, the military formed a plan to lure Godzilla and both MUTOs out to a remote island and kill them all with a nuclear warhead several times more powerful than Castle Bravo.
Serizawa believed the detonation would fail to kill any of the creatures and warned William Stenz , the Navy admiral in charge of the operation, to call off the attack. Stenz regretfully told Serizawa they had no choice and allowed the warhead to be armed and carried by boat over San Francisco Bay.
The male MUTO used its electromagnetic pulse to disable the military's vehicles and stole the warhead, using it as a nest in which the female could lay its eggs. Godzilla emerged from the Bay shortly afterward, surfacing near the Golden Gate Bridge.
Tanks were deployed onto the bridge and opened fire on Godzilla while civilians were attempting to cross it. Godzilla withstood the artillery fire until a blast hit him in the gills, causing him to smash into the bridge and split it in half. Godzilla roared and continued to approach the city, where the MUTOs had constructed their nest. Meanwhile, several soldiers were sent into the heart of the city via a HALO jump to recover and disarm the warhead before it could explode.
Godzilla finally reached the nest and roared at the female MUTO, who charged at Godzilla and attacked him. With the nest unguarded, the soldiers recovered the warhead, while Ford Brody opened a gasoline line, causing the entire nest to explode in a fireball. Before the MUTO could kill Brody, Godzilla emerged behind her and blasted her with his atomic breath, buying time for Brody and the other soldiers to carry the warhead to the docks.
The male flew behind Godzilla and pulled him out of the way, allowing the female to chase after the soldiers. As the male flew behind Godzilla to try and grab him again, Godzilla swung his tail at it, impaling the MUTO on a skyscraper and killing it.
Godzilla stopped to catch his breath, only for a skyscraper to collapse onto him and bury him in debris and rubble. As Godzilla lies on the ground being buried in debris, he caught a brief glimpse of Brody, who was running to the docks.
Brody ran to the docks, only to witness the female MUTO kill all of his companions. Brody grabbed the warhead and placed it on a boat, preparing to send it out to the sea where it could detonate safely. Brody drew his pistol and aimed it at the MUTO, fully expecting to be killed.
Just then, Godzilla came up behind the MUTO and bit down on her neck, pulling her away from the boat. He grabbed the MUTO's jaws and pried them open, then fired his atomic breath down her throat until she was decapitated.
Godzilla roared victoriously before dropping the MUTO's head and collapsing onto the ground unconscious. The boat reactivated and began heading out of the bay, while Brody was rescued by a helicopter. The next morning, San Francisco was in ruins, while military and emergency personnel surrounded Godzilla's unconscious body. Serizawa and his assistant Vivienne Graham looked sadly at Godzilla, believing him to be dead. Suddenly, Godzilla's eye opened and he began to stir.
He stood up and began walking back out to the ocean, letting out one last victorious roar before diving into the sea and disappearing beneath the waves. In , while appealing to Senator Willis to approve an expedition to Skull Island , Monarch member Bill Randa mentioned how the Castle Bravo nuclear tests were not tests but rather attempts to kill a creature, though he did not mention Godzilla by name.
Following their adventure on Skull Island, James Conrad and Mason Weaver were held in an interrogation room by Monarch members Houston Brooks and Lin San , where they were shown documents related to the nuclear strikes against Godzilla, as well as two cave paintings depicting Godzilla alone and locked in battle with an unidentified three-headed monster. While fruitlessly searching through the ruins of San Francisco for their missing son Andrew in , Mark Russell and his wife Emma and their daughter Madison witnessed Godzilla walk past them.
Mark grew to blame Godzilla for the loss of his son and resigned from Monarch , maintaining a desire to have the monster killed. The U. After five years, Godzilla had seemingly disappeared. Monarch 's Dr. Ishiro Serizawa , Vivienne Graham , and Sam Coleman appeared before a Senate hearing to discuss the organization's future. The government and military expressed a desire to exterminate Godzilla and all of the other Titans like him, but Serizawa and Graham insisted that the solution was to find a way to coexist with Godzilla and other possibly benevolent Titans in a sort of symbiotic relationship.
They brought Mark with them to their underwater headquarters in Bermuda, Outpost 54, a. Castle Bravo. From there, they covertly had been observing Godzilla on his own turf. Alan Jonah , a British Army colonel-turned eco-terrorist bent on restoring the natural order. Evidently, he intended to use the ORCA to achieve his goal. Readings of the monster showed his breathing and heart rate were elevated, and he seemed ready to attack the base.
Members of Monarch's G-Team manned the base's Maser Turrets and prepared to open fire, but Mark convinced them to stand down and lower the base's shields to signal to Godzilla that they were not a threat. As the shields were lowered, Godzilla could be seen swimming just outside the base, his dorsal fins emitting a periodic blue flash, which Graham identified as an intimidation display.
Mark approached the window to get a better look, as the glow faded and Godzilla vanished into the blackness. Suddenly, Godzilla charged past the base and swam off. Mark asked to view Godzilla's movement routes, saying that if he left his territory it was because he must have felt threatened. Mark believed this could be because he detected the ORCA.
Monarch's course projections showed Godzilla heading to a single location: Antarctica. Graham explained to Mark that Antarctica was the location of Outpost 32, an off-the-books outpost in which Monarch studied a recently-uncovered specimen which Emma called " Monster Zero ," possibly a rival alpha to Godzilla in the ancient past. Godzilla soon vanished from tracking, which Dr. Rick Stanton took to mean he was using passages within the Hollow Earth to navigate underwater more quickly.
Upon arriving at Outpost 32, Monarch was ambushed by Jonah's men and was unable to stop them from unleashing Monster Zero. The three-headed Titan menaced the members of Monarch before Godzilla erupted from the ice to challenge him. The Titans charged at each other, with Godzilla trying to grapple with each of the beast's heads.
Monster Zero seemed to have the physical advantage over Godzilla, who attempted to fire his atomic breath at his enemy. Instead, the beast's heads simply dodged the blast and countered with a series of gravity beams that knocked Godzilla off the ice shelf. Godzilla got back onto the ice and attempted to reengage, but after being bombarded by missiles from the Argo Monster Zero simply flew away.
Monster Zero later vanished within a tropical storm, while Godzilla seemed headed to Isla de Mara, Mexico , the site of Outpost Emma had actually sided with Jonah from the start to unleash the Titans in an attempt to "restore balance" to the world, and her next target was the Titan in Outpost 56, Rodan.
Monster Zero arrived over the waters near the island within the tropical storm and defeated Rodan in an aerial clash, only for Godzilla to leap from the ocean and drag him underwater. Godzilla had the upper hand below the waves, tearing off one of Monster Zero's heads, but the U.
When the warhead impacted, it produced a huge green explosion that sent Godzilla sinking to the bottom of the sea, his vital signs dropping until he was pronounced dead by Stanton. Monster Zero, however, was unharmed by the blast and promptly regenerated his severed head before unleashing all of the Titans around the world.
Monarch's Dr. Ilene Chen concluded that the creature was not part of the natural order like Godzilla, but was rather an alien organism that came to Earth aiming to bend its ecosystem to his will.
Ancient accounts corroborated that he had battled Godzilla in the past, and referred to him as "Ghidorah, the One Who is Many. Monarch analyzed the sonar she emitted and found that Godzilla was responding to her. Realizing Godzilla was still alive, Serizawa, Stanton, Chen, and Mark followed Mothra to Godzilla's location in a submarine, which was pulled deeper underwater by a sudden whirlpool. They discovered that this whirlpool led to the Hollow Earth, where they came upon the sunken ruins of an ancient city.
Adorning its walls were murals depicting humans worshiping Godzilla. The submarine located Godzilla laying on a giant altar within a nearby underwater air pocket, which contained molten lava flows and extremely high radiation levels. This chamber was Godzilla's lair, and where he went to continuously feed on radiation, allowing him to continuously evolve and survive for an incredibly long time. While the radiation would allow Godzilla to recover from the Oxygen Destroyer, it wouldn't do it fast enough for Godzilla to stop Ghidorah.
Unfortunately, the submarine's firing systems had been damaged, meaning it could not fire one of its nuclear torpedoes at Godzilla in order to speed up the process. Furthermore, no one would be able to survive the lethal heat and radiation within the chamber if they armed the warhead manually. Serizawa declared that he would sacrifice himself to do this task, and donned a radiation suit that would protect him long enough to arm the warhead. Serizawa departed in a smaller submarine that surfaced in Godzilla's lair.
He brought the warhead to the altar and armed it. As the timer counted down, Serizawa removed his helmet and approached Godzilla, who opened his eyes and seemed to notice him. Serizawa placed his hand on Godzilla's face and said "Goodbye, old friend" just before the warhead detonated. The explosion obliterated the sunken city and propelled the main submarine to the surface.
Chen and Mark went above deck to see if Serizawa had succeeded, and witnessed Godzilla emerge from a whirlpool, completely rejuvenated. Godzilla fired his atomic breath into the sky, then turned his attention to the nearby humans.
Godzilla leaned forward and locked eyes with Mark before turning around and making his way to Boston, where Madison had activated the ORCA after stealing it from her mother and Jonah.
Just before he could kill her with his gravity beams, he was struck and knocked off his feet by a blast of Godzilla's atomic breath.
Godzilla came ashore in Boston accompanied by a full military escort, ready for a final battle with his ancient nemesis. Godzilla and Ghidorah charged at each other and began fighting.
Stanton observed that the radiation Godzilla absorbed from the blast had begun to reach critical levels, meaning that he would explode like an atomic bomb in 12 minutes. Ghidorah used his heads to restrain Godzilla and pin him to the ground, but Godzilla forced him off with his atomic breath.
As the monsters' battle continued, Mothra arrived and pinned Ghidorah's heads against a nearby building with her silk. Godzilla lunged at Ghidorah and tackled him through the building. As Godzilla prepared to attack his fallen enemy, Ghidorah called for Rodan to intercept Mothra and take her out of the fight.
While Mothra and Rodan dueled in the sky, Godzilla and Ghidorah continued their struggle. Ghidorah bit down on a nearby power substation and absorbed the electricity, projecting it from his wings in an attack that temporarily stunned Godzilla.
Ghidorah leaped at Godzilla and grabbed him with his claws before lifting him into the air. Ghidorah wrapped his middle neck around Godzilla's throat and strangled him until he went limp, then flew above the clouds before releasing Godzilla. Godzilla plummeted back to the ground, producing a blue explosion upon striking it. With Godzilla immobilized, Ghidorah landed in front of him and prepared to finish him. However, the wounded Mothra crawled weakly onto Godzilla's body and shielded him from Ghidorah.
She then flew directly at Ghidorah, who vaporized her with his gravity beams. Mothra's energy flowed into Godzilla, causing his skin to form glowing red cracks.
Ghidorah bit down on Godzilla and lifted him, draining his atomic energy through his bite. Ghidorah pursued the ORCA, which Emma transported in a jeep, finally destroying the vehicle with his gravity beams. As Emma lay dying on the ground, she looked up at Ghidorah and defiantly declared "Long live the king.
Godzilla's dorsal fins sparked and glowed before he launched forward a nuclear pulse shaped like Mothra's wings and making the sound of her roar. This pulse incinerated the flesh of Ghidorah's wings as he tried to shield his heads from the blast.
Wounded, Ghidorah countered with his gravity beams which seemed to not even affect Godzilla. Godzilla emitted a second nuclear pulse which disintegrated Ghidorah's left and right heads. Ghidorah fell to the ground as Godzilla stomped on his chest just before the nuclear energy inside of him exploded. Boston was consumed by a fiery explosion, and when the smoke cleared neither monster was visible. After a few moments, Ghidorah's burned head emerged from the rubble, followed by Godzilla, who was carrying the severed head in his mouth.
Godzilla fired his atomic breath, which incinerated the head until it was nothing but ash. Rodan, having survived being impaled by Mothra's stinger earlier, approached Godzilla and roared angrily. Godzilla met his gaze, and Rodan promptly backed down and submitted to Godzilla. The other Titans each followed suit, all "bowing" to the new King of the Monsters. In the aftermath of the battle, Godzilla kept the other Titans in check and prevented them from attacking human cities.
Under Godzilla's leadership, many of the stray Titans began congregating at Skull Island , which had recently been affected by seismic disturbances. Five years after King Ghidorah 's defeat, Bernie Hayes , an online conspiracy theorist and host of the Titan Truth Podcast , worked deep undercover for Apex Cybernetics in Pensacola, Florida, for five years to try and expose the company's shady activities.
Just as Hayes was downloading data from an Apex computer onto a flash drive, Godzilla suddenly rose from the ocean and attacked the facility. As the staff began to evacuate, Hayes sneaked into a restricted area of the facility where he was confronted by two guards.
As they held him at gunpoint, the two guards were suddenly killed by a blast of Godzilla's atomic breath, leaving Bernie with small injuries.
As the smoke cleared and Godzilla continued his rampage, Bernie saw a strange piece of technology resembling a giant robotic eye among the ruins of the facility. In the aftermath of the attack, humanity no longer regarded Godzilla as its Titan savior and designated him a threat. Walter Simmons , the CEO and founder of Apex, promised that he and his company would find a way to defend mankind from Godzilla. They revealed that scans of the Hollow Earth showed a tremendous energy source similar to the energy possessed by Godzilla.
If they could harness this energy, they could develop a weapon capable of standing up to Godzilla. Lind suggested that they could use another Titan to lead their mission, as he theorized all Titans' genetic memory led them to their evolutionary source within the Hollow Earth. Lind approached Monarch anthropological linguist Ilene Andrews with his idea, but she rejected it on the basis that Godzilla would come for Kong as soon as he was moved off of Skull Island.
Undeterred, Lind convinced Andrews that they needed to undertake this mission in order to stop Godzilla, and said that they could find Kong a new home in the Hollow Earth. Andrews finally accepted, on the condition that she was in charge of Kong. Meanwhile, Godzilla destroyed numerous other Apex facilities around the globe. As Godzilla swam toward the fleet, battleships and jets opened fire on him to no effect. Godzilla smashed through the attacking ships and knocked the jets out of the sky with his tail.
Kong roared at the sea beneath him, only for Godzilla to burst up from under the surface and capsize the ship holding him. As the bridge filled with water, Lind released the chains restraining Kong.
Kong grappled with Godzilla underwater as the ship righted itself. Kong climbed back aboard as he saw Godzilla circling around. Kong leaped from ship to ship until he landed on an aircraft carrier. He grabbed a nearby jet and threw it at the approaching Godzilla, who pulled himself onto the carrier and roared at his opponent. Kong greeted Godzilla with a powerful punch, but Godzilla responded with a vicious slash to Kong's face.
Kong fell onto his back while Godzilla charged his atomic breath, only to be interrupted by missile fire. Kong got back to his feet, punching Godzilla and then ramming him off the side of the carrier. Godzilla fired his atomic breath from directly underneath the carrier, destroying it as Kong leaped to safety. However, Godzilla quickly grabbed Kong and tried to drag him under.
Kong freed himself and began swimming back to the surface, but Godzilla returned and coiled his tail around the ape Titan, beginning to drown him. The naval ships fired depth charges into the water, disorienting Godzilla long enough for Kong to escape and pull himself back onto the ship. Lind told the fleet to deactivate all of its power in order to signal to Godzilla that he had won.
Surfacing amidst the devastated fleet, Godzilla observed the scene before seemingly becoming satisfied and swimming away. Suspicious after Godzilla's first attack, Madison Russell and her friend Josh Valentine sought out Bernie, and agreed that Apex had something to do with Godzilla's change in behavior. The three then broke into the ruined Apex facility, finding that the "eye" Bernie described was now gone. Madison found an elevator that took them to sublevel 33, a mysterious area mentioned in the data Hayes managed to download.
