The destruction brings the attention of SHIELD, who assigns a "Godzilla Squad" consisting of Dum Dum Dugan, Gabriel Jones, James Woo, and Nick Fury brings in resident Godzilla expert Yuriko Takiguchi his assistant Tamara Hashioka and his grandson Robert Takihuchi to help.
As a SHIELD battallion tries to stop the King of Monsters with various weapons, it all proves nothing more than an exercise in aggrivation for the giant monster. After the monster destroys everything SHEILD throws at it, it manage to leave the scene unscathed. Meeting up with Fury, Dugan is introduced to Takiguchi and his clan and they begin to discuss how they may stop Godzilla. Tamara talks of a secret weapon that they have been devising to use against the monster.
