Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

Plot[edit | edit source] In the aftermath of Mecha-King Ghidorah's defeat by the hand of Godzilla in 1992, the United Nations establishes the "United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center" (UNGCC) to stop Godzilla. Their military branch, G-Force, salvages Ghidorah's remains and reverse engineers them to build two anti-Godzilla weapons: an aerial gunship called Garuda and a mecha modeled after Godzilla called Mechagodzilla. Two years later and one year after Godzilla battled Mothra and Battra in Yokohama, a joint Russian-Japanese expedition comes across what they assume is a large Pteranodon egg on Adonoa Island, an uncharted island located in Bering Sea. The egg gives off a telepathic signal that attracts Godzilla and Rodan, an adult Pteranodon irradiated by nuclear waste. Godzilla critically wounds Rodan during the ensuing battle while the research team escapes with the egg. It is taken to a research center in Kyoto, where it imprints on young female scientist Azusa Gojo. Eventually, a juvenile Godzillasaurus hatches from the egg. The creature, named Baby Godzilla by Gojo, is concluded to have been left in the Pteranodon nest with Rodan in a manner similar to the brood parasitism displayed by European cuckoos. Godzilla appears, once again responding to Baby's psychic call. The JSDF mobilizes Mechagodzilla, which intercepts Godzilla as he is heading to Kyoto. The two battle, with Mechagodzilla initially having the upper hand until Godzilla disables the mecha with his energy pulse. Godzilla continues searching for Baby, but the scientists, having discovered the telepathic link between the monsters, shield him from Godzilla. Frustrated, Godzilla destroys most of Kyoto before returning to the ocean. Tests on the baby reveal that he has a second brain in his hips that controls the animal's movement. The UNGCC assumes that this also holds true for Godzilla's species and decide to use Baby to bait Godzilla into another fight with Mechagodzilla. The "G-Crusher" is installed into Mechagodzilla, which will allow the mecha to penetrate Godzilla's hide and destroy his second brain. Miki Saegusa is ordered to become a part of Mechagodzilla's crew to locate Godzilla's second brain. While she is reluctant due to her mental connection with Godzilla, she agrees. The plan backfires when Rodan, having transformed into Fire Rodan since his battle with Godzilla, responds to Baby's call and intercepts the UNGCC transport. In response, they send Mechagodzilla and the upgraded Garuda, piloted by Kazuma Aoki, after Rodan instead, which injure him in the process. Godzilla arrives soon after and attacks Mechagodzilla. The fight is evenly matched until Mechagodzilla merges with Garuda to become Super-Mechagodzilla. Mechagodzilla paralyzes Godzilla, but Rodan responds to Baby's call, sacrifices himself, and transfers his power to regenerate Godzilla's second brain. This empowers Godzilla, allowing him to destroy Mechagodzilla. Godzilla locates Baby, who is initially afraid of Godzilla's gigantic size, but is telepathically convinced by Miki to go with Godzilla, and the two monsters return to the ocean together.
