Godzilla: Fight or Flight
At Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, F-15 pilot Tyler Nie tells his fellow pilots how Godzilla saved his life from the MUTOs in 2014 and inspired his vocation. They react with amusement until their attention is pulled by a news report that Godzilla is approaching the West Coast of the United States. Nie tries to convince them that Godzilla would only make landfall to oppose another Titan threat, as he did against King Ghidorah and Rodan with Mothra. They only laugh at him, with one stunned that he knows that many monster names. Meanwhile, Godzilla swims beneath an aircraft carrier in the Bermuda Triangle.
Admiral Howze calls Nie's strike squadron into action against Godzilla, who is on course for Pensacola. Nie hesitates at the ladder of his plane, causing Howze to question his resolve, but he agrees to join the mission. Nine F-15s, including his own, and three F-35s engage Godzilla at Apex Cybernetics' U.S. headquarters. As Nie tries to warn the other pilots that Godzilla is looking for something, they score several missile hits to no effect. Godzilla destroys one of the jets with a swipe of his claws, then shoots down two more with his atomic breath. Nie engages Godzilla head-on, trying to aim for his eyes, but finds himself unable to shoot, knowing they're on the same side. Godzilla's atomic breath scores a glancing hit on his plane, severing the cockpit and allowing him to eject safely. He watches Godzilla destroy the Apex facility and expresses hope that he finds what he's seeking, unaware of Mechagodzilla's eye nearby.
