Godzilla and Devil Dinosaur engage the army of the Lizard-warriors and their dinosaur
beasts of war in furious battle. Moon Boy soon realizes that despite the awesome strength
of Devil Dinosaur and their new ally, the Lizard-warriors are too many. The Lizard-warriors
realize the same fact and begin to surround their enemies. Back in the 20th
century, Dum-dum Dugan and the other SHIELD agents prepare to leave, their mission
accomplished. Somehow, all the agents are sorry to see their mission end. Tamara and
Jimmy Woo exchange an affectionate farewell, the woman intending to return with Dr.
Takiguchi to Japan. Dr. Takiguchi and Dr. Hawkins indulge in a final scientific debate
when Rob Takiguchi interrupts them, having learned of Godzilla's fate. The boy's innocent
philosophy raises doubt on the properness of their actions in the minds of the two
scientists. Back in the Valley of Fire, Godzilla and Devil Dinosaur continue to battle
the Lizard-warriors. Moon Boy realizes that they cannot win and urges the two reptiles
to retreat to an area known as the Pits. Reluctantly, Godzilla follows his new allies.
In the Baxter Building, the Thing becomes aware of a strange humming sound.
While Devil Dinosaur and Godzilla stop to delay the pursuing Lizard-warriors, Moon
Boy scrambles to meet with the sinister Hag who rules the region of the Pits. Moon Boy
tells her that they will conceal the strange pits, eerie holes in time and space, to
hide the pits from the eyes of the Lizard-warriors. Back in the baxter Building, Reed
Richards and the Thing investigate the sound and discover that Dr. Doom's time machine
is the source of the sound, the machine having absorbed some of Godzilla's radiation.
Mr. Fantastic realizes that the machine is now unstable, possibly getting ready to
explode or even slingshot Godzilla back into the 20th century. He sends the
Human Torch to evacuate Times Square, where Richards hopes the time machine will be
able to explode with minimal effect. Meanwhile, the Behemoth lifts away from the Hudson
River.
Back in the Valley of Fire, Godzilla and Devil Dinosaur retreat once more from the
Lizard-warriors, drawing them after them. At the Pits, Godzilla and Devil Dinosaur leap
over Moon Boy's hasty camouflage. The Lizard-warriors do not, man and dinosaur falling
into the depressions and the vortexes contained within them. Suddenly, the swirling
energy rises from one of the pits, reaching out for Godzilla. At the same time, the
lingering effects of Henry Pym's shrinking gas wears off and Godzilla shoots up to his
normal titanic height. Back in New York, the Human Torch has succeeded in clearing Times
Square. Reed Richards grabs the glowing time machine and with his amazing elastic arms
places the device in the center of Times Square. In the Valley of Fire, Godzilla begins
to fade. To Moon Boy and the Hag, it seems that whatever good spirits sent the monster
to defend the valley have reclaimed him. As the Behemoth hovers in view of the commotion
in Times Square, Dr. Doom's time machine releases a powerful column of energy. In an
instant, Godzilla appears, once more standing on the streets of New York, this time at
his tremendous true size.
