A group of U.N.G.C.C. researchers also visit the island. It is here where SpaceGodzilla makes his first attack on Earth, and captures LittleGodzilla in a series of crystals after temporarily incapacitating Godzilla. After SpaceGodzilla flies off, Godzilla gives chase, and leaves the island. After SpaceGodzilla is defeated by both Godzilla and MOGUERA, LittleGodzilla is set free from his crystal prison, and jumps about for joy.
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
Prior to the events of the film, Godzilla entered the first stages of his meltdown, and generated massive levels of heat and radiation. This caused uranium deposits in the ground to catch fire. The island was engulfed in a massive explosion, leaving only a few smoldering rocks behind. The radiation given off by the exploding island also allowed LittleGodzilla to grow into Godzilla Junior. With nowhere left to live, Junior decided that he would travel north, towards his birthplace in the Bering Strait, on Adonoa Island.
