History

• Godzilla (TV 1978-1979) [episode 6]

Godzilla

"The Energy Beast"

The Energy Beast came to Earth in a UFO that initially looked like a meteor. After landing, it took the shape of a tree. When a group of engineers from a nearby dam checked the area, they saw gigantic footprints leading to the tree. Thinking nothing of them, they returned to the dam. The Calico and crew soon came to the site, and while looking at the dam from the outside, they spotted the Energy Beast on top of it. It soon started to absorb electricity, and the Calico crew called on Godzilla, who was quickly defeated by the Energy Beast's electric ball. The Energy Beast managed to escape as Godzilla retreated to fix the dam that was damaged.

The Energy Beast soon imitated Godzilla and started to attack power plants to absorb electricity. When Godzilla caught up to the Energy Beast, the two battled, and Godzilla was defeated once again and covered by an avalanche of boulders. Shortly after the copy left, Godzilla got out of the boulders and wanted revenge. The copy and Godzilla dueled until the Energy Beast's power ran out. When the Energy Beast returned to its normal size and tried to escape to its ship, Godzilla picked it up and hurled it back into space, sending the alien monster back to where it came from.
