Plot
Jimmy "Egg" Fry thinks back on his many painful attempts to master the hurricane technique as he, Sushila "Sushi" Sahax, and Jules Wheeler kneel around Roland "Rolly" Nolan's motionless body. Nolan suddenly springs to life, startling them all. Lauren confirms that his bid to stop the meteorite worked. The General berates him for his recklessness, but Sahax points out that nothing she tried worked. Outside, Godzilla's eyes open.
Sahax realizes that the General was the person who nearly ran her over earlier that day, and the teens pounce on her reckless driving. She's taken aback, saying that they remind her of her daughter, then recovers, ordering her soldiers to prepare them for testing. As Godzilla and Varan collide, Fry extends his hands in alarm, and a sudden spray of chemicals from a tube in the ceiling gives the quartet an opening to escape. Fry is convinced that he used newfound powers to cause the spray. They reach an elevator that needs a key card to open, which to their great surprise is provided by Damo, an employee at the facility. After he urges them to evacuate, he adds that he'll send them the Coin Toss skating videos that he's been editing together with security camera footage.
Once outside, the teens prepare to flee, but Nolan, watching Varan pummel Godzilla, stops and announces that they should help Godzilla. He describes the urges that the meteor possessed to destroy everything on Earth to prepare the planet for the force that sent it, urges that have now been transferred to Varan. Wheeler affirms that Godzilla has, in the past, withdrawn when he no longer had anything to fight. He explains his plan, but the others remain skeptical. Lacking a coin, they flip a board to see if they stay or run; it determines that they should stay.
Varan floors Godzilla with a devastating combo attack as the teens skate past them. Their path is blocked by a chasm, but Fry is convinced that he can cross it by way of a rail. Nolan hands him a lighter and Sahax and Wheeler slingshot him towards the rail. To their amazement, he executes a perfect hurricane to reach the other side. As he makes his way towards a large box, Wheeler notices Sahax trying to recover the pieces of her board mounted on a Coin Toss wall. Fry gets Varan's attention with a barrage of fireworks from the box, then lights up the explosives still in the box and leaps to safety as the kaiju lunges. The resulting explosion dazes Varan, giving Godzilla time to recover. The King of the Monsters grabs his foe by the tail, throws him into the air, and blasts him into space with his atomic breath.
Godzilla roars in victory and returns to the ocean. Inside the facility, the General reaches her daughter Winnie on the phone. They both apologize, and the General says she's ready to listen. Godzilla suddenly turns around, appearing to acknowledge the teens, and continues on his way. Awed, they survey the ruins of the Coin Toss and Fry asks the others if they'd like to go for a skate.
