Godzilla, Varan, skater punks, Australia…and now, aliens? Last issue, an earthquake trapped our skater punks underground—and now they find themselves lost in a high-tech military base that was hidden beneath their skatepark?!

Plot
In a flashback, Roland "Rolly" Nolan crashes to the ground after attempting a difficult skateboarding trick and meets Jimmy "Egg" Fry and Sushila "Sushi" Sahax for the first time when they come to his aid. In the present, he and Jules Wheeler hide as soldiers run past them. Picking up his skateboard, he helps Wheeler to her feet and resolves to find the others. They continue exploring the underground facility, discovering rooms containing a glowing UFO and rows of giant robots, to Nolan's delight. A soldier spots them and yells at them to stop.
Godzilla downs one of the F-Class Red Bellies with his atomic breath while devastating the surrounding area. Varan takes to the skies to crush another in his claw, then returns to the ground to confront a tank. Fry and Sahax, themselves in the room with the robots, escape another pursuing soldier. Reports of the teens' misadventures in the base reach the general, and she is enraged to hear that they have evaded capture using nothing but skateboards and roller skates. Outside, Varan's tail lashes out, downing more jets, while Godzilla crushes the tank. The monsters square off again, then both turn to the Coin Toss.
The two pairs of teens collide while rounding a corner. Fry is distracted by a pink light inside a room while the others rush onward and straight into the general and her soldiers. He evades capture while she lectures the others, only to be cut short by the entire base shaking. Cursing the decision to study the meteorite from which the glow is emanating, she orders evacuations to begin while she briefs the science team. Unwilling to let the teens run amok, she reluctantly brings them into the room with the meteorite. They realize it was the shooting star they saw before the monsters attacked. Lauren, the lead scientist, explains to the teens that the giant robots they saw are not functional, as her team has yet to figure out how to power them. They hoped the meteorite would provide a solution, but they now find themselves unable to stop the increasingly powerful pulses it's emitting, which could awaken every kaiju on the planet. The teenagers chide the adults for conducting such dangerous experiments. The general explodes at them, though as her rant continues it becomes clear that she's talking about her own daughter's rebelliousness.
Another pulse knocks them all down. As Lauren panics, Fry emerges from hiding and hits the meteorite with his skateboard, setting off a brilliant explosion. He floats in the air, hallucinating vividly, before falling to the ground unconscious. His friends surround him, but he's nonresponsive. Outside, the meteorite explosion envelops Varan, supercharging him, and he emits a roar that fells Godzilla.
