Through the combined efforts of Cecil Harvey and his allies , the Giant is destroyed and Golbez is freed from Zemus ' s control . Golbez returns to the moon with Fusoya , intent on killing Zemus . Confronting him in the moon ' s core , the two kill Zemus , but his hatred survives and develops a consciousness of its own , becoming the beast Zeromus . After Zeromus is defeated , the Lunarians decide the Earth would be better off without their presence , and move their moon out of Earth ' s orbit , heading for parts unknown . The moon is targeted by The Creator for its Crystals . Fusoya and Golbez must fight Maenad , who revives Zeromus to attack them . Golbez escapes to Earth , but Fusoya remains behind as Zeromus uses his Big Bang attack . Golbez is teleported aboard the " Lunar Whale " and sent to Earth .
