"Attack of the Stone Creature" is the third episode of Godzilla.

Plot

In Egypt, an explorer named Gordon Jarvis is driving his jeep through the desert to a structure known as "The Pyramid of Ramal." After he climbs it for a closer look, giant mounds of sand blow away to reveal two Stone Creatures, who come to life and attack Jarvis, blasting him with sand and freezing cold wilds until he is forced to flee. Nearby, the Calico Crew passes through the Nile River. As Brock, Pete, and Godzooky go swimming, Majors and Quinn stumble upon a frostbitten Jarvis. Upon helping him get back to full health, Jarvis explains to the Crew of the creatures who attacked him, known as the "Stone Guardians of Ramal." Traumatized, Jarvis refuses to go back to the pyramid's location, but he tells the crew where it is despite urging them not to go.

The Calico Crew goes off to explore the pyramid, but while piloting their Mini-Copter, the Crew is caught in an updraft caused by a sandstorm, then a blizzard, freezing the Mini-Copter's rotors and incapacitating Godzooky. Godzilla receives a call from Majors and arrives to rescue the Calico Crew, while Godzooky discovers what the cause of it was: the Stone Guardians. The Guardians notice Godzooky and attempt to freeze him, but Godzilla forced them to back up. Distracted by Godzooky tumbling into a pit, he allows them to conceal themselves in mounds of sand.

After Godzooky discovers the Pyramid of Ramal, Majors, Quinn, and Brock all begin digging away to find anything of value. A sudden sandslide causes the Guardians to reveal themselves. This time though, the Guardians don't move, fooling everyone into thinking they're just normal statues. When Godzooky stumbles across a nearby lagoon, he and Pete go to fill the canteens to keep the Crew hydrated. When one of the canteens drifts out too far, Pete gets sucked into a whirlpool. Godzooky tries to save him, but becomes trapped as well. The whirlpool carries Pete and Godzooky into a water channel that takes them inside the Pyramid of Ramal itself. After exploring a few of the rooms inside the pyramid, Pete and Godzooky eventually find a stone door leading outside.

Back at the digging site, the Stone Guardians come back to life and notice the Calico Crew. Feeling that their Pyramid is being threatened, the Guardians immediately begin attacking them with their sand and ice breath. Majors again calls upon Godzilla for help. As he battles the Guardians, the other members of the Calico Crew learn that Pete and Godzooky are inside the temple and hide inside with them. The Stone Guardians trap them inside with their ice breath.

The rematch gets difficult for Godzilla when the Stone Guardians begin pelting him with giant hailstones, compounded by Godzooky's antics, until finally, the Guardians trap him in a thick coating of ice. Hoping to finish Godzilla off while he's immobilized, the Guardians then charge at him from both sides. Fortunately, Godzilla manages to break free from his icy coating and sidesteps out of the way, causing them to collide, smashing each other to pieces. With the Guardians destroyed, the Calico Crew manages to get out of the Pyramid safely while Godzilla takes his leave.
