KIDS (
A subship of the Earth Union Organization's massive time machine MOTHER, KIDS was commandeered by Wilson and the Futurians and sent back to 1992 Japan as part of a scheme to prevent the nation from becoming a corrupt economic superpower by 2204. The ship was sent further back to 1944 where it was used to teleport a Godzillasaurus off of Lagos Island, leaving behind in its wake three Dorats. Back in 1992, when Futurian Emmy Kano saw her comrades' true plan in action, she defected and took control of KIDS, using it to teleport MOTHER into the path of Godzilla so he could destroy it. KIDS was then used as an escape pod for Mecha-King Ghidorah, allowing Emmy to escape with her life after the cyborg was destroyed in battle with Godzilla.

It was used to transport the Godzillasaurus to the ocean, and then it went back to the present. Once the Futurians' plan was uncovered, KIDS was used to teleport MOTHER right in front of Godzilla. Godzilla destroyed MOTHER, and KIDS went forward in time with Emmy Kano and M11 so they could create Mecha-King Ghidorah. After the battle between Mecha-King Ghidorah and Godzilla, KIDS was used to escape Mecha-King Ghidorah, which was underwater. It then went back to the future with Emmy, with the surviving computer of M11 accompanying her.

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
KIDS serves a near-identical role in the manga adaptation of the 1991 movie, although two additional scenes more heavily feature the craft.

After firing upon the creature to get him to back away from Emmy and Kenichiro Terasawa, M11 hit him with the teleportation dish's ray.
As in the film, Emmy Kano emerged from Mecha-King Ghidorah in KIDS after Godzilla shot it down, while bidding her ancestor Terasawa farewell. Blasts of radioactive energy burst from the sea beside KIDS. With the last of his energy, Godzilla turned his rage upon the time ship and repeatedly fired at it. One ray seemed to destroy KIDS, but it survived.[2]
