Carnage! Zone and Godzilla vs. the Terror-Beast Allied Forces
Like several other Terror-Beasts, Kabutogirah had shrunk down into a capsule, and was loaded into a Terror-Beast Missile. This missile landed near Mina's house. The Zone Family had been searching for these capsules all day when Kabutogirah's capsule was discovered. Hikaru arrived, but it was too late, and Kabutogirah was released. Hikaru transformed into Zone Fighter, and they clashed! Eventually, Zone was successful, and went off towards the Okutama Mountains to seek out the remaining capsules.
