Godzilla emerges from an iceberg off the coast of Alaska. The monster immediately heads for the Alaskan pipeline, attacking the oil fields. Onboard SHIELD's enormous heli-carrier, agents Dum-dum Dugan and Jimmy Woo communicate with their superior, Nick Fury, who is enroute from Japan with Japanese experts on Godzilla. Dugan gives the order to attack. A small army of super-weapons descend from the heli-carrier. First the armed hover platforms of the 'Angel' squad assault Godzilla, then the 'Demon' disc planes. None are effective. Finally, a massive laser cannon is brought to bear on Godzilla. The laser blast hurts Godzilla, causing him to destroy the weapon with a blast of his own fire. The berserk Godzilla sets fire to the spilled oil in the valley, turning the field into a firestorm. Dugan and Woo manage to lure Godzilla into attacking the mountain side of the valley, causing an avalanche that smothers the inferno. Godzilla turns and stalks off just as Nick Fury arrives with the Japanese. They are Dr. Yuriko Takiguchi, sole survivor of the original atomic test which awakened Godzilla. The others are his assistant Tamara Hashioka and grandson Robert Takiguchi. The Doctor has plans which for a weapon which he hopes will defeat Godzilla.
