Millions of years ago, a titanic terror from
another realm arrived to destroy the planet Earth.
Named Desghidorah, this three-headed gargoyle
was forced to deal with resistance in the form
of a species of highly advanced, enormous moths.
These monsters were the protectors of the Elias,
a race of tiny, humanlike, beings who inhabited
the planet. After the ensuing battle, Desghidorah
was defeated and sealed within the Earth, although
a great deal of life on the planet Earth was lost.
Three Elias: Moll, Lora, and Belvera, were all
who were left of their once prosperous civilization.
Though the benevolence of Moll and Lora was undeterred,
Belvera became twisted and vengeful due to the
mass extinction of her race. These tiny fairies,
along with one final guardian named Mothra, lingered
on for thousands of millennia...
In order to preserve her legacy, Mothra gave
birth to an enormous egg in 1997; however, she
became physically exhausted from the ordeal. Shortly
thereafter, a logging company uncovered the subterranean
prison of the demonic hydra that had ravaged the
Earth so long ago. When the seal that had bound
the creature was removed from the area; Moll and
Lora fought Belvera for control of the artifact.
Belvera prevailed and managed to release Desghidorah
from its rocky tomb, in order to exact her warped
plans for destruction. Mothra was summoned to
halt the detestable dragon, which was absorbing
the life out of the environment. She fought a
long and difficult battle to repel her ancient
adversary, and in response to her declining strength,
her young larva prematurely hatched in order to
assist his mother. Though his energized silk seemed
to turn the tide of battle in the favor of the
protectors, Desghidorah sank its teeth deep into
the larva, and Mothra became desperate. She quickly
airlifted the young creature to safety, and in
order to keep Desghidorah at bay, she lured the
beast into a dam. With Desghidorah distracted
by a wall of raging water, Mothra carried her
offspring to safety. Unfortunately, Mothra's wounds,
age, and exhaustion were ultimately too much.
Her strength failed, and she plummeted into the
sea below. The crestfallen larva attempted to
save his beloved mother, to no avail. Angered,
the young moth created a cocoon and began to change
into his imago stage. Desghidorah had to be defeated;
his mother's death couldn't be in vain.
