• Nick Fury angrily demanded to know why the Emperor Organization had not destroyed the growing MUTO.

Doctor Serizawa agreed to help S.H.I.E.L.D. study MUTO while concealing the Emperor Organization’s Titan Beast intelligence, and Andrew sent Yelena’s Peacekeeper crew into space. In May 2011, Tony and a S.H.I.E.L.D. team separately headed to Japan as Hydra’s interest in controlling Titan Beasts raised the risk of conflict.

• At the Secret Base, MUTO began glowing and producing electronic fluctuations before the experiment started, so Steve ordered an evacuation and prepared the team to fight.
• On Skull Island, Scarlet persuaded Maya Hansen to let her build a portal for emergencies and met King Kong with Jia; King Kong refused Scarlet’s request to leave the island.
• After Nick Fury reported the crisis, Scarlet began preparing the portal, while MUTO released an EMP that disabled the base and broke open its shell.
• Rumlow informed Whitehall that Doctor Serizawa and Vivian had escaped, and Whitehall sent Bucky to intercept them while arranging a backup plan.
• Steve’s team attacked the awakened flying male MUTO, but their weapons did no damage; Natasha touched it with the Mind Scepter before it struck her into the sea.
• Natasha survived the blow but reported that her Battle Suit was wrecked, while Steve told her to find a safe place.

After MUTO destroyed the base, Hydra tried to kidnap Doctor Serizawa and Vivian, but Tony Stark and his Unmanned Armors rescued them. As Steve and the others prepared to deal with MUTO, Nick Fury revealed that there were two MUTOs.

• Natasha survived the battle but struggled with her Mark V Battle Suit, while MUTO wrecked the base and flew away.
• Bucky and Hydra soldiers abducted Doctor Serizawa and Vivian, but Tony intervened with his upgraded Energy Battle Suit and Unmanned Armors.

• Nick Fury told the group that there were two MUTOs, leaving them facing a larger threat than they had expected.

S.H.I.E.L.D., the Emperor Organization, and the military struggled to respond as the MUTOs advanced toward San Francisco, while Hydra targeted the Antarctic Titan called Monster Zero.

• Nick Fury briefed the heroes on the Female MUTO’s growth and the MUTOs’ plan to meet and reproduce, while Roxanne’s report exposed the Emperor Organization and S.H.I.E.L.D.

• Aboard the aircraft carrier, Nick Fury’s Vampire Potion plan was rejected, and Doctor Serizawa proposed helping Godzilla fight the MUTOs.
• Godzilla fought the Male MUTO in Hawaii but could not stop it from escaping toward the American coast, and the military decided to lure the MUTOs with a nuclear bomb.
• The MUTO stole the armed nuclear bomb and brought it into downtown San Francisco, where it was set to explode in one hour.

San Francisco faced a nuclear threat and a MUTO attack as Godzilla abandoned the battle to confront the awakening King Ghidorah in Antarctica. With the city’s defenders left to fight alone, Doctor Banner deployed the Angry Mecha and attacked the MUTOs.

• The Female MUTO’s electromagnetic pulse disabled San Francisco’s power, cars, and phones while Andrew drew desperate residents into the Illusion Realm to sign contracts.
