As the titanic pterosaur, Rodan, was raining
devastation upon the city of New York, the United
States dispatched The Rumbling: their best weapon
for a situation this grave. As the aerial battleship
approached Rodan, the creature simply took flight.
The crew of The Rumbling would not let it escape,
however, and they continued their approach toward
their mysterious foe. Missiles were fired, to
no avail. As the war waged on, with no clear victor
yet visible, The Rumbling released its powerful
laser beam at Rodan, but the flying reptile dodged
the beam. He appeared behind The Rumbling, and
prepared to finish his job. Just before he could
prevail against the humans, Rodan disappeared
as an unidentified ship appeared in the sky. The
Rumbling was ordered to return to base.
The aliens aboard the vessel, known as the Xiliens,
later claimed responsibility for the death of
several monsters across the globe. This lie
was ultimately uncovered, however, and the truth
behind their dreams for conquest was soon discovered.
As their plans came to light, the extra terrestrials
once again unleashed the monsters on an unsuspecting
world. Rodan was ordered to destroy New York
City once more, and The Rumbling was dispatched
to annihilate the aggressor. This time, Rodan
held nothing back. He flew past The Rumbling
several times, taking massive chunks out of
the ship. The once proud paradigm of human ingenuity
slowly lost power, and Rodan came in for one
final strike. The Rumbling was destroyed once
and for all. The United States was defenseless,
for nothing could end Rodan's unquenchable thirst
for destruction...
