"Island of Doom" is the 25th episode of Godzilla and the 12th episode of Season 2.
Plot
The Calico crew is off the coast of Australia, keeping track of a new weather satellite that's being deployed to take photos of the South Pacific. Unbeknownst to the crew, the terrorist organization COBRA, led by General Zadar and Colonel Varna, detects the satellite being deployed from their secret island base. Fearing that their base of operations will be discovered, Zadar has the satellite shot down with a missile.
The Calico crew notices the destruction of the satellite and traces the origin of the missile strike to COBRA's island, to which they head off to get some answers. In a meeting, Zadar reveals to the rest of COBRA's leadership that, thanks to their on-site nuclear reactor, COBRA is close to finishing the construction of an arsenal of nuclear warheads to use to hold major cities as ransom. As the Calico nears the island, they detect the radiation from COBRA's cache, and Quinn Darian deduces the weapons' existence, though the radiation prevented them from contacting the Australian government. COBRA soon learns of the Calico approaching the island. Hoping to get rid of the intruders, Varna orders a minefield to be remotely deployed around the Calico, quickly preventing the ship from making any move without risking destruction. Carl Majors calls upon Godzilla, who arrives on the scene. Accidentally detonating a mine while inspecting it, Godzilla scoops up the entire minefield and destroys them all at once in the palm of his hand.
The Calico moves a little closer to the island before Majors and Brock depart on their hovercraft to investigate closer. They immediately discovers the shore is lined with anti-ship guns and missile launchers before discovering COBRA's nuclear power plant. A COBRA guard notices the hovercraft as it nears the shore. Managing to enter the power plant, Majors and Brock witness the reactor before being swarmed and apprehended by COBRA agents, while the radiation jams the Godzilla Signal, stopping Majors from calling Godzilla. Varna informs Zadar of their capture, who doesn't believe their profession as scientists. Noticing Majors and Brock didn't return when they claimed, Quinn, Pete, and Godzooky head to the island in a Mini-Sub to find them. However, they too are quickly discovered and captured by COBRA's soldiers and are locked up with Majors and Brock. Zadar and Varna interrogate the crew, believing they are spies, though they are forced to leave after learning that COBRA's reactor has gone critical, endangering risking the destruction of the entire island and a global spread of fallout.
With Godzilla as their only hope, Godzooky breaks out of the island's tower and heads off to the ocean to call for him. Godzilla hears the call and heads off to rescue the Calico crew from their imprisonment. COBRA is alerted of Godzilla's presence and they launch a full-scale assault on him. Failing to kill Godzilla with shore guns, Zadar lays out a minefield before him, which he walks through without noticing. COBRA finally receives a response by after shooting Godzilla with the same missile they destroyed the satellite with, but he only gets offended. They attack from all sides with tanks, artillery, and missile launchers, but Godzilla simply melts them all with his laser eyes and fire breath. COBRA's air support fairs little better. Arriving at COBRA's main base, Godzilla destroys the airport and then the command center, forcing Zadar and Varna to run for their lives. Godzilla rescues the Calico crew from their imprisonment, and Godzooky tells him about the reactor's imminent meltdown. Thinking quickly, Godzilla disposes of the reactor by hurling it into the ocean to cool it down, and then using his eye lasers to neutralize the excess radioactivity, saving the world. Later that day, the Calico crew are informed that United Nations forces will swee[ out COBRA's island arrest the survivors.
