Plot
After Godzilla destroyed his village, killing his master and everyone that he ever knew, the samurai Hideki sought revenge against the monster. He journeyed to find a sword maker who could forge for him a blade made from a meteorite. Tracking the kaiju down, Hideki managed to draw blood from his foot using the sword. His honor restored, he allowed Godzilla to incinerate him, but the sword survived.
The person relating this tale, a member of the secret society known as the Sons of Giants, unveils the sword from the story to an audience of other members. Each wears a mask modeled on a kaiju, with the speaker wearing a Godzilla mask. They voice their hope that the kaiju they revere will assist them in their present crisis.
On July 11, 1804, U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr kills former Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton in a duel, with Hamilton discharging his pistol into the sky before Burr fires at him. Later, Burr is approached by a man in a restaurant, who he correctly guesses is a reporter. He tells him that he refuses to discuss the duel, outside of saying that he is distraught over the outcome, that the duel was legal, and that it was fought because Hamilton insulted his character. The reporter, Mortimer Lane of the Philadelphia Aurora, instead tells him that he believes the duel was waged over a centuries-old coin found on Hamilton's body. Mortimer shows Burr the coin, which bears the image of Godzilla; the Vice President claims to have no idea what it is. Mortimer elaborates that it came from a secret society formed in Ancient Rome. The unstoppable monster it depicts, Godzilla, attacked Rome at the height of its power. Mortimer observes that Burr seems unfazed by his fantastical story. Burr responds that their conversation would be best continued in private. As they exit the restaurant, men working with Burr pull a hood over Mortimer's head and throw him into a waiting carriage. Burr asks them to leave him unharmed, as "the others" need to question him and determine his fate.
