Official solicitation
ALL OUT MONSTER BATTLE ROYALE! Things just went from 'bad as they can be' to 'Armageddon' as mankind becomes nothing more than insects under the trampling feet of giant monsters hellbent on ripping each other's heads off. And is this three-headed dragon the savior of the human race or simply another gargantuan beast handing out destruction? Either way, Godzilla is up for a fight.

Synopsis
Somewhere in Alabama, Steven Woods fights with two bikers while Allie plays on one of their bikes. Woods knocks out both of his opponents and asks Allie if she's ready to go. She asks why the two bikers tried to take their water, and he replies that they were out of water. Allie asks if she can keep the bike, but Woods tells her she can't but can keep the goggles she is wearing. The two then continue on their journey.

In Washington, D.C., Godzilla and King Ghidorah prepare to do battle. Godzilla charges his atomic breath, but Ghidorah blasts him with his Gravity Beams. Godzilla retaliates with a blast of atomic breath, then tackles Ghidorah as the latter fires his Gravity Beams at him.

Back in Alabama, Woods defeats another bandit after his water by breaking his nose. Woods and Allie relax afterward, but Woods is bitten by a venomous snake. He tells Allie that he will begin hallucinating, and instructs her to keep an eye on the monster finder and help him find shelter where they can lay low until the venom wears off.

In D.C., Godzilla fires a blast of atomic breath at Ghidorah's chest, but Ghidorah bites his arms with two of his heads and discharges an electrical shock from them, while his middle head fires a Gravity Beam directly at Godzilla. Godzilla falls down but quickly gets back up as Ghidorah takes flight. Godzilla charges an extremely powerful blast of atomic breath and fires it at Ghidorah, producing a mushroom cloud.

A few hours later, Woods finds himself surrounded by a pack of wolves, only for Mechagodzilla to suddenly appear and blast them with his Laser Cannons. Woods opens fire on the machine with his handgun before passing out. Below the streets of D.C., President Ogden and the Secret Servicemen guarding him experience the shockwave from the explosion caused by Godzilla's atomic breath. A technician says that some sort of electromagnetic pulse has shorted out the system and brings the video monitors back online, revealing Godzilla standing among the ruins of the city. Godzilla stands over the unconscious King Ghidorah and roars victoriously.

Allie cares for Woods as he awakens. He asks what happened, and Allie reports that he passed out after they found "the robot." Woods asks if Allie said "robot," and she points to the fallen Mechagodzilla laying nearby. She says that she went inside of it and that they can use it for shelter. Woods has Allie show him inside, where he finds the control room and reactivates the robot.
