A versatile, single-person deep sea submersible,
the Satsuma was the perfect choice to investigate
the recent reports of a missing nuclear submarine
off the coast of Guam. Three of these vehicles
observed the crashed vessel, and noted the sheer
magnitude of the damage inflicted. Suddenly, one
of the submarines met a tragic end when it was
attacked by an unknown force enshrouded by a murky
veil. The glowing spines of an ominous, unidentified
object glided through the sea. This was reason
enough to fear the worst: Godzilla had returned.
Docking with the Battle Cruiser Aizu, the services
of the Satsuma weren't employed again until shortly
after Godzilla's defeat of the monster Baragon
in Hakone and Mothra in Yokohama. King Ghidorah
had become incredibly powerful and wounded Godzilla,
and the two monsters were locked in mortal combat
deep in Yokohama Bay. Two of the Satsuma submarines
were launched into the water, and in the chaos
that followed; the D-03 drill was fired. Godzilla
dodged, and the missile struck King Ghidorah instead,
unintentionally giving Godzilla the immediate
upper hand. Fortunately, an amulet soon replenished
King Ghidorah's strength, but Godzilla merely
absorbed the power of his enemy's newly acquired
gravity beams and unleashed a charged thermonuclear
ray to finish his opponent. The combined energy
of the guardian beasts then entered Godzilla,
and he began to lose buoyancy, sinking deeper
and deeper into the bay..
Desperate to destroy the creature, Admiral Tachibana
piloted the Satsuma into Godzilla's gaping maw,
and from within the admiral fired a D-03, piercing
a hole through Godzilla wound from the inside
out. Every attempt Godzilla made to fire his atomic
ray only increased the severity of the now enlarged
wound, and as the Satsuma escaped from the gargantuan
animal's insides, Godzilla charged one final ray.
Disappearing from radar, it was clear that Godzilla
had fallen victim to his own overwhelming power.
As Admiral Tachibana emerged from the Satsuma,
confident in the victory of humankind, little
did he realize that the shadow of evil still remained.
As Godzilla's disembodied heart began to beat
once more, it was clear that Godzilla could rise
to terrorize the planet another day...
