The Future's Threshold

The Future's Threshold is the twentieth and final episode of the first season of Godzilla: Rulers of Hollow Earth.
==Synopsis==
The party escapes the Apex Building and races down the highway. Behind them, countless MUTOs have engulfed Tokyo. The team cuts through the obstacles and charges down the roadway that leads to the unknown.
==Plot==
Mothra and Rodan fly in the skies and Godzilla dashes along the Tokyo Expressway as the group makes its escape. On Rodan's back, Kong celebrates that they're home free, but Baragon says it is too soon to say that. More and more MUTOS arrive to cover the entirety of the Apex Building and the group stops to watch.
Inside the Executive Suite of the Apex Building, Battra watches the MUTOS fly around, confused what they are. Gryphon, who is with him, cannot see them, and does not know what Battra is talking about, shocking him further. Battra tells Gryphon to make a phone call as he heads to the windows to watch the MUTOs. Gryphon reports that his men are on standby and asks for his order. Battra replies to bring them in.
Back in the Tokyo Expressway, Kong comments on the building being covered in MUTOs, as Rodan and Mothra wonder what they are doing. Kong realizes Ganimes might be caught up there, with Rodan confirmed he died. Baragon warns the group that something is coming, as Apex soldiers on motorcycles head toward them. Kong and Godzilla tell the group to get going. Rodan goes into his titan form as Godzilla goes into his titan form. Godzilla uses his atomic breath to defeat some of the soldiers to protect Kong and Baragon from gun fire, who are riding on Rodan's back.
More soldiers arrive as Kong tells Rodan to go faster, but his flight speed cannot outsmart. Godzilla takes down a security van, and throws it at an Apex road block, allowing the group to get through. An Apex helicopter arrives and Kong proclaims take it down. The group takes cover inside a covered bridge, Baragon warning that more is coming as Godzilla fights off some former IOI bots and a M.O.T.H. Unit. Godzilla spots bombs in the ceiling and tells the group to get down, Mothra shoots her silk at them to detonate them. Godzilla's Atomic Breath protect the group from the explosion as they exit the bridge.
The Apex helicopter arrives with two Apex Warrior Operator motorcyclists. Kong tells Godzilla to take care of the soldiers while he deals with the helicopter. After Godzilla handles the motorcyclists, Kong punches at the helicopter that fires at the group one last time before Godzilla uses his atomic breath at the rotor mast. The helicopter crashes onto the road with Rodan flying into the exploding wreckage, but the MUTOs protect the Fire Demon that escapes unharmed. Kong asks if the Whispers are on their side, but Baragon says they are only preserving their lives.
The Super Tank X3 shows up as Rodan tells the group to focus. Godzilla Kong team up to take the Apex war machine down. As Kong notifies it is ready to be finished off, Baragon sees the road end up ahead and ready his leap as Godzilla orders him to go for the head. Godzilla and Baragon approach the struggling Super Tank X3, Godzilla uses his claws striking from below while Baragon attacks from the top. The group passes the broken highway, the Super Tank X3 falling off from the end of the road and exploding. The group celebrates their victory when Godzilla suddenly sees a hallucination of Bagan in front of the highway border control. The group stop as Godzilla realizes that hallucination is not there anymore. Bagan's blood dropped as he turns into his visage form.
The group walks past the border control to the end of the Tokyo Expressway. Bagan chuckled as he descends upon them. Kong wants to attack him, but Mothra tells him to stop. She says Bagan is wrong who retorts that those who look with clouded eyes see nothing but shadows. Mothra continues to exclaim that Bagan is all that is wrong in the world, who says that all born into the world are bound to it. He adds that should the world be unmade, so will the Titans. Godzilla declares the world will not end today, but Bagan will. A swarm of MUTOs from the Apex Building arrives as Bagan tells the group to listen to their voices. He exclaims that destiny has come as the group covers their ears from the roars of the MUTOs.
Outside of Tokyo, a white-haired half-elf with an eternal color patterned cape named Mothra Leo sees the metropolis covered by the MUTOs. He is surrounded by Apex soldiers, tanks, Mesam and helicopters, as a few MUTOs (controlled by Bagan to ensure he lives) hover around them. Leo says that the price of freedom is steep as he turns into his Titan form. He tells himself to embrace the dreams and protect his honor as a Defender and moves in to engage the Apex army and shoots silk.
Back at the Tokyo Expressway, the MUTOs have stopped roaring and Bagan cuts through their swarm to create a portal. He tells Godzilla he will be waiting and enters. Godzilla moves ahead, but Mothra stops him, saying this is the point of no return. Mothra uses her mystical powers to make the portal shine bright, and tells the group this is the destiny's crossroads. Godzilla asks why she stopped him, but she doesn't know. Rodan asks what is on the other side, Mothra replying they will find boundless, terrifying freedom, like a great never-ending sky.
She says the voices they heard from the MUTOs were the voices of the planet, the ones who were born, lived, died, and returned, howling in pain. Godzilla wonders if Bagan is the reason, but Mothra says their words do not reach him. Bagan had told the group he cares about preserving the planet, but Mothra declares this isn't the way it is supposed to be, and denotes him as the biggest threat to the world who has to be stopped. Mothra asks the group to help her defeat Bagan, but warns them that if they do, they will be changing fate. She adds that if they win, they will be changing themselves, and this is why she hesitated entering the portal. The MUTOs roar as the group covers their ears. Godzilla agrees with Mothra, saying he has heard enough howling for a lifetime.
Rodan muses that he never tried to challenge destiny before, while Baragon says that the portal is the destiny's last defense and that it won't be easy. Godzilla tells the group to get going as they enter the portal. Before heading inside, Kong comments this won't be the first time he spit in destiny's eye, as she is always trying to have her way. Kong looks back and tells Kiko that he will come home soon, and steps through the portal.
The group has arrived in Realm of the MUTOs, though at first it looks the same as where they had entered. The MUTOs above form a purple darkness where tornadoes touch down and the group begins to run. The tornadoes corner the group and blow it away, as Godzilla is blown into the sky and sees the tornadoes tear Tokyo apart. The MUTOs gather and merge into the MUTO Prime, a colossal MUTO that howls as it gathers up debris with a black portal and throws it at Godzilla, who dodges and deflects it with his tail. Godzilla runs along a piece of broken up road that MUTO Prime levitated and finds Kong and Rodan surrounded. Godzilla fights the MUTOs off as Kong is glad Godzilla is alive and calls the MUTO Prime the Empress. Rodan declares they can beat the MUTOs as MUTO Prime summons Hakumuto, Femuto, and Queen Barb, who surround the group.
The group fights them off as MUTO Prime makes the other MUTOs disappear and blows the group away. The group reaches another area, where Godzilla falls from the collapsing road. Rodan and Kong save him as the MUTO trio returns. The group deals some damage to them as the MUTO Prime again makes the MUTO trio disappear and attacks the group. Kong says they need to get out of here and punches at the debris to clear the path. The group slides down the highway and the Hakumuto appears before them whom the group defeats, hurting the MUTO Prime in the process.
Mothra and Baragon show up and the group experiences a vision from the MUTO Prime of a desolate wasteland showing the corpse of the Titans. Kong asks Baragon about what they just saw, Baragon saying it was a glimpse of tomorrow if they fail to defeat the MUTOs today. The MUTO Prime attacks the group, separating Godzilla, Kong and Baragon from Rodan and Mothra. Femuto and Queen Barb appear before Godzilla's group while the defeated Hakumuto appears before Rodan's group. Kong wants to know how they can stop the MUTOs , with Baragon commenting the MUTO Prime is looming just ahead. Godzilla tells the group to focus on the two MUTOs in front of them. The smaller MUTOs' defeat hurts MUTO Prime even more, who gives everyone another vision of the Gorath falling to Earth. Rodan objects to this being their future as the Hakumuto attacks him. Godzilla saves him with his atomic breath, arriving with Kong and Baragon to join Rodan and Mothra.
Mothra says the future is always a blank page as the trio of MUTOs respawns. Godzilla tells the group to split up and take them all down at the same time. Kong goes for the Whisper Harbinger and leaves with Baragon. During the battle, the trio of MUTOs transforms into a MUTO Ghidorah, but Godzilla's group splits them up again. They take the MUTOs down one by one while Kong and Baragon punches at the MUTO Prime. The group sees a vision every time a MUTOs is defeated. When Godzilla's group defeats the Femuto, they see Godzilla fight Bagan. When they defeat the Hakumuto, they see Mothra drop a glowing Materia. When they defeat the Queen Barb, the group sees Godzilla carry Mothra to a pond. Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra take down MUTO Prime, which explodes in blinding light.
The group finds itself in an area bathed in light. Godzilla asks Mothra where are they, but she doesn't know. Godzilla hears Bagan waiting for him as Mothra is confused by what she just saw. The area begins to turn orange and the Gorath hurtles towards them. Bagan appears and absorbs the Gorath with the negative Hollow Energy to free him from his prison that the MUTOs held him and throws a building at the group, separating them. Godzilla uses his atomic breath the debris and sees Bagan descend. Godzilla proclaims to finish this, and during their duel Rodan joins as Bagan is going to kill Godzilla. Rodan asks Godzilla is he need help. Godzilla doesn't know about 'Need' and tells Rodan if he is good to go, Rodan replies "YOU KNOW IT!" and Bagan turns to his Spirit God Beast form. The duo keeps fighting Bagan until he leaps back and turns into his Dragon God Beast form and pins down the duo. He roared victoriously until he is blinded by silk. Rodan and Godzilla sees Mothra landing as she says "Sorry I'm late". Godzilla tells his allies "Let's go" and the trio begins fighting Bagan. After a few attacks Bagan unleashes a giant ball resembling Bagan's energy form. Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan make one last effort to take Bagan down.
Although they triumph, thwarting Bagan's attempt to use the giant energy ball upon them, he persists and sends out the MUTOs to attack the group. Kong shows up with Baragon to intervene. Bagan stands back up as Mothra tells the group they can change destiny and make it right. Bagan sends out more Whispers but the others stay to fight them telling Godzilla to go after Bagan. Godzilla walks past the floating debris while killing MUTOS . He makes his way to Bagan who blocks his atomic breath with the fire breath, and the MUTOs explode in a bright light.
Godzilla and Bagan are on a post-apocalyptic landscape as Godzilla experiences a headache. Bagan grabs Godzilla's hand and tells him to be careful since the events that lie ahead do not exist yet. Godzilla jumps back as Bagan, now free from Destoroyah and destiny, says titankind will become part of it one day, and that he and Godzilla will not end. Godzilla asks where they are, Bagan revealing they are in the Titan Graveyard. Bagan asks Godzilla to lend his strength and defy destiny together. Godzilla refuses and continues to challenge Bagan, but is quickly beaten, leaving him defenseless. Bagan stops his attack and tells Godzilla he has fifty-four seconds until the end, and gives Godzilla a choice. As Godzilla turns around Bagan has disappeared, leaving a fang on the ground.
Meanwhile at the President's Office in the still intact APEX Building back in the normal world, Battra looks over the metropolis. Hedorah tries to get his attention by calling him the vice president. Battra does not acknowledge him as Gryphon corrects the title to "the president". Battra says that is correct, enraging Hedorah. Battra approaches the president's desk as Ebirah, Kumonga, Megaguirus and Hedorah line up in front of him. Battra sits down as Gryphon stands behind him. At the 68th floor, the Apex scientists and soldiers clean up the mess of the glowing crimson liquid from the large broken tank as Titanousaurus overjoyed chuckling, realizing that Destroyah is gone and his Reunion theory is all coming together.
Meanwhile outside of Tokyo, Mothra Leo has defeated the Apex soldiers, Tanks, Mesas, and helicopters. He struggles to stand but excitedly asks himself wondering how Godzilla would feel if he saw him defeat the army. An explosion happens at Tokyo down below, and Leo falls. He sees the explosion engulf Tokyo and turn to light, and the MUTOs around Tokyo disappear. Leo stands up, turns into his visage form, and marvels at the beautiful glimmering scenery that was left after the explosion.
Back at the ruins of Kumakura, the survivors help rebuild the slums, cleaning up the broken Aso de Mara sign as Garasharp watches. The air glimmers as she and the others watch the skies above. At the Leaf Center in the Shinagawa slums, the kids see the beautiful scene as a bandaged Kamoebas lies on a bed inside the orphanage, next to a desk with Gezora's remains. He awakes, realizing that he survived the plate collapse.
At Mothra's Home, Kiko is watering Mothra's flowers in the guest room when the Shobijin asks him to come down. Kiko looks out the window and calls out to Kong. Kong, who is on the wasteland surrounding Tokyo with Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and Baragon, calls out to Kiko, looking back at the city they have left behind, promising to come back to him.
Rodan asks what the group should do now as Mothra shakes her head due to the fact that she lost all future memories. Godzilla, brooding over his defeat in the Titan Graveyard, holds the fang, saying Bagan is out there as the fang disappears meaning that the Future Bagan won't appear again. Kong thought Godzilla beat Bagan already is if Kong remembered Godzilla defeating Bagan in the Realm of the MUTOs, but he shakes his head. Mothra says the group can defeat Bagan, and Rodan and Baragon step forward, willing to help. Kong wants join the mission as well, saying that since Bagan wants to destroy the surfaceworld, he is an enemy of the Amoeba Crew. Godzilla agrees to let the group come along when it begins to rain.
Elsewhere far from the team, Leo holding the metal pole from the MESA he destroyed walks to Tokyo. A psychic connection of him passes the group, but they can't see it. Back in the the spot where the team is, the group heads out to the wider world to pursue Bagan, as Mothra stops to say that the sky frightened her.
In the farlands of Japan, Varan rides a Tauros out of Tokyo. Not wanting to give up on his mission to fight APEX, steal their treasure, and restore Wakkanai's glory, he thinks she needs some new companions to join him, as it would be a tough mission to complete alone. Elsewhere, Godzilla, Kong, Rodan, Mothra, and Baragon are on their way to Hamamatsu City before hitching a ride from Jonathan Tatopoulas, a local pokemon trainer. In Tokyo, Mothra Leo, arrives to the Divine Sanctum. Instead of finding Mothra there like he had expected, the sanctum is full of random hurting people.
