After numerous Terror-Beasts fell to the power of Zone Fighter, the Garogas devised a new plan to undo their mortal enemy. They launched a Terror-Beast Missile to Earth during one of Hikaru's patrols, spying from afar as Hikaru stumbled upon the mysterious glowing sphere released from the missile. Suddenly, the floating orb charged Hikaru, forcing him to transform into Zone Fighter and blast the thing to pieces. At some point before, his shadow was replaced by Shadorah, and the "Miracle Ray" released by the glowing sphere was absorbed by the monster, triggering it into action. Hikaru noticed the subtle differences almost immediately, but was forced into battle when Shipdraw was unleashed on the city. The hero easily overpowered the strange kaiju, but just before he could deliver the death blow, his shadow revealed its true nature. Having leeched enough of Zone Fighter's energy, as well as being secretly fed solar energy by the Garoga, Shadorah appeared out of the shadows and attacked. None of Zone Fighter’s powers could harm it. Weakened by its Atomic Beams almost instantly, the Garogas seemed to have finally found their answer to the nuisance that was Zone Fighter. Leaving the hero behind, Shadorah ushered Shipdraw to safety before returning to the warrior’s shadow.
Returning to his human form, Hikaru became bedridden and battled with the monster from the inside. However, he still couldn’t defeat it and chose to face it the next day for round two. No sooner than he transformed, Shadorah emerged from his shadow. Like before, it was immune to all of his attacks. Not even the Meteor Missile Might fazed it. This time, it deployed Miracrogas alongside its beams. Once again, Zone Fighter was bested. With nothing to stop it, Shadorah turned its focus to a nuclear reactor and began ravaging a city in its wake, its Miracrogas causing explosions to rise from the outskirts of the city.
Meanwhile, as Shadorah moved deeper into the city, Raita was able to pinpoint a location where Shadorah was secretly being given energy. Zone Junior and Zone Angel moved quickly and found a secret Garogas base hidden within a sunken ship. They attacked and destroyed it, along with Shadorah’s control device. Without this, the remnants of the Miracle Ray disappeared, and the shadow monster stopped in its tracks. Green mist erupted from its entire body as it self-destructed. At long last, the deadly Shadorah had met its untimely end. |
