An airplane, on route to Haneda Airport,
is suddenly struck by a strange hailstorm, causing all
of the instrumentation on the plane to go out of control.
The hailstorm is followed shortly by the appearance
of a space monster, Gigan, whose arrival alarms the
nearby crew of the airplane. As quickly as he appeared,
Gigan departs as the hailstorm dissipates.
Later that evening, Okamoto, the airplane's
copilot, goes to Science Land and makes his way to the
Science Center, located atop Godzilla Tower, hoping
to be able to investigate the strange events which he
experienced earlier that morning. Upon entering the
control room at 1:00am, Okamoto is startled when he
receives a call in the Science Center, as he didn't
notify anyone of his whereabouts. Answering the call,
Okamoto hears a strange voice: "I know you are there...
I can answer all your questions." Okamoto becomes curious,
and asks who it's that he is speaking with, but the
voice continues: "I caused everything which you saw
today. The monster which you saw is under my control,
and I shall take control of the skies over Japan from
this time forward. My name is Alien Miko. Ha, ha, ha!"
Okamoto sits in stunned disbelief at the threat. "You
can't believe it? You will see!" the voice declares
as it's abruptly cut off.
A few days later, a strange object is
spotted over the ocean through radar; the Self Defense
Force acts, and deploys a squadron of F86F Saber Jets
to investigate the location. The squadron locates the
strange object, which turns out to be the monster Gigan.
The jets assault the creature, but are interrupted by
the arrival of a second monster, Megalon, who quickly
annihilates several of the fighter jets. The surviving
jets retreat, and manage to ditch their planes on a
nearby island as the pilots retreat inland. Megalon
follows the retreating jets, before circling the island
in search of the survivors. Megalon's hunt is thwarted,
however, with the arrival of Anguirus, who attacks Megalon
on the beach. Anguirus quickly overpowers his foe, until
Gigan arrives and the two space monsters assault the
earth kaiju. After a brief fight between the three monsters,
Godzilla arrives to even the odds and the two space
monsters break off their attack and retreat. After the
two space monsters disembark, the squadron leader of
the F86F Saber Jets receives a message over his communicator:
"You are the only one left alive. My name is Alien Miko.
If you can't believe it, just look above you." Looking
overhead, the pilot stares in disbelief at the huge
form of King Ghidorah hovering overhead. The voice continues:
"King Ghidorah is my horse. Now you see who is controlling
the skies over Japan. Ha, ha, ha..."
Air traffic all over the world comes to
a standstill as the three space monsters reign over
the skies. Miko's minions are put to further use, as
the three space monsters destroy the Earth's orbiting
satellites. Miko then issues an ultimatum to the world:
turn over control of the Earth to him, or he will cut
off all gas, water, and electricity to the city of Tokyo
as a first step in beating the Earth's population into
submission. Miko continues stating that if the Earth
does not give up soon, he will unleash the three space
monsters on Tokyo.
Inside the Godzilla Tower Science Center
room, technicians monitor a panel of radar screens.
Suddenly, the three space monsters appear on screen,
and are headed directly for Science Land. The invaders
arrive at Godzilla Tower, mistaking the huge structure
for the real Godzilla. The trio size up the tower, preparing
for an attack, when all of a sudden a roar comes from
behind them as the real Godzilla has arrived to confront
the space monsters. Gigan lands, and readies himself
to attack Godzilla, but mysteriously the creature instead
turns around and the three space monsters retreat from
Science Land.
Later, King Ghidorah, Gigan and Megalon
appear in Tokyo and Miko proclaims that his minions
will first take over Tokyo before then moving on to
New York and Moscow, and eventually total domination
of the entire planet. While the space monsters encircle
the city, the SDF deploys tanks and fighter jets that
attack the invaders, but the Earth's military has no
affect against the giant creatures. Shortly after the
failed offensive, Anguirus arrives and a battle between
the monster and Gigan ensues. Once again, Anguirus appears
to quickly overwhelm his opponent before King Ghidorah
and Megalon join their comrade. Again, the battle is
interrupted with the arrival of Godzilla, and the three
space monsters retreat once more. Meanwhile, Miko, a
living brain, appears on local television sets to state
that he withdrew the space monsters in order to prevent
further destruction of Tokyo, and to blame the SDF and
Godzilla for the damage already inflicted upon the city.
Miko ends with a final warning: "Humans, obey Miko and
you will live... otherwise you will die."
Thinking that his future subjects will
be repulsed by his physical appearance, Miko decides
to assume a less grotesque, although still intimidating,
form. Miko chooses to merge with the statue of Majin
Tuol, an ancient idol from the Andes Mountains, which
is being kept at Science Land. The statue was found
in the "Palace of the Gods" in the Andes, and, according
to legend, when the mountains were destroyed and the
palace disturbed, Majin Tuol's eyes would glow a blood
red. It's then stated that Majin Tuol would come alive,
and hurl his great sword to strike down his enemies
before it returns, automatically, to his hand.
Unconcerned by the legend, Miko orders
the three space monsters to attack Science Land, and
the three invaders are confronted by Godzilla and Anguirus
once more. A war between the five kaiju ensues, but
Miko commands Gigan to cut the Majin Tuol statue in
half using his buzzsaw, located on Gigan's chest, so
that Miko can insert his life support machine into the
idol. Gigan breaks away from the others to approach
the statue and complete its task. Gigan awakens the
blade on its chest and slices into the statue, which
causes a trail of blood to ooze from the idol. Meanwhile,
the tides have turned in the battle between the four
kaiju as King Ghidorah has gained the upper hand against
both Godzilla and Anguirus; the momentary victory is
short lived, however, as the eyes of Majin Tuol begin
to glow red and the statue transforms into a giant god.
Majin Tuol unleashes its sword on the nearby Gigan,
by thrusting his sword into him, mortally wounding the
creature. The sword, automatically, returns to Majin
Tuol's hand, as the panicked King Ghidorah flees after
witnessing the defeat of its comrade. Majin Tuol again
heaves its mighty sword, this time at the fleeing three-headed
space monster, and manages to strike it down, out of
the sky. Appearing overpowered the three invaders retreat
back to space, leaving Miko unprotected, as Godzilla
incinerates the alien with his atomic breath. With the
evil forces vanquished, Majin Tuol returns to its original
position, with a large wound remaining on its forehead
left from Gigan's attack, as peace is once again restored.
