* ProphecyTwist: "When the blood of the Kaiju enters the eye of the mountain it will be awakened". Initially interpreted to mean that lava flowing into a crater in one of the mountains on Monster Island would wake up the Living Mountain. It’s actually more literal, once a piece of lava enters the Living Mountain's eye it activates a power that triggers an explosion that kills both Kaiju.

The story focuses on Billy Ford, a controversial venture capitalist billionaire, and his team working on a deep sea mining operation. Suddenly, their remote deep sea probe is destroyed. Assuming it was caused by an underwater volcano, Ford and his team, along with government overseer Cherise Ramon, take a manned submarine to investigate. Instead of a volcano they find a massive organism that threatens to destroy the world. Now it’s a race against time to find the only thing powerful enough to defeat this threat.
