In ''Save The Earth'', the Vortaak return to harvest Godzilla's cells, but are driven off when [=SpaceGodzilla=] is sucked into a black hole.

The [[ChaoticEvil Mutant]] and Vortaak-allied [[LawfulEvil Alien]] monsters attempt to utilize these crystals to conquer the earth, while the Earth Defender and Global Defence Force factions attempt to destroy them. The crystals are revealed to be created by [[BigBad [=SpaceGodzilla=]]], who is trying to escape the alternate dimension he was trapped in at the end of ''Save The Earth''.
