Natsu defies Hades as he tells that how their Fairy Tail does things. As Hades fires magic bullets at Natsu while he's down, Rodan and the others are forced to watch with Rodan being angered at the site of Natsu being attacked.

After Hades is seemingly defeated and Natsu collapses after using lots of magic power, Rodan admits the display wasn't to shabby. He and the other kaiju smile at each other as the mages cheer, though the kaiju still sense something isn't quite right. Soon Rodan and the others can still sense Magic Power emanating from Hades. Hades is indeed still standing, much to the horror of the Fairy Tail mages and Rodan and the others sense power building up from Hades. Hades soon performs Demon's Eye and the group senses the dark magic emanating from him, causing them to tense up further. As a dark mist forms around Hades and his eyes glow red, he explains his goal to obtain primordial Magic before Black Arts-Nemesis and begins to summon several demons from the debris of the ship, much to the fear of Lucy, Wendy, Gray and Erza. However Rodan, Godzilla, Anguirus and King Caesar were standing still and stared ahead, their heart racing but they weren't feeling fear lie their Fairy Tail friends, showing no sign fear. Rodan remembers how he faced Keizer Ghidorah alongside Godzilla and how he found his family murdered by Megaguirus in the Kuju mountains as he stared at the demons. Rodan and his fellow Kaiju looked at each, seeing right though each others eyes, knowing they had all faced much worse. Hades orders the group to tremble or die but the Kaiju soon make a surprise attack against the demons with Rodan knocked several demons away with a gust of wind with his wings much to the shook of Hades and awe of the Fairy Tail mages as the four Kaiju stood between their human allies and the horde of demons.

As several demons attempt to attack King Caesar and Anguirus, Rodan zooms above their heads and creates a powerful sonic boom to knock the demons away.

Once he stopped, Rodan gives another flap of his wings to create a powerful wind gust, sending several demons crashing and being smashed against the wall. After Anguirus and King Caesar defeat two out of three demons that faced Godzilla, Rodan swoops from above and lands feet first onto the third demon, stomping it down to the ground. As the Earth Defenders' battle inspires the Fairy Tail mages to face their fears with their friends, Rodan and other smile proudly at Natsu's declaration that if they fight together, they can win. As the Fairy Tail mages join the battle, Rodan laughs with joy with their human friends joining them in combat and declares they take care of this once and for all.

Rodan sees that Godzilla is looking concerned about something and asks what is wrong, his leader questions whether or not battle is actually over yet. Suddenly, an explosion occur and from levitating out of the whole is SpaceGodzilla, much to the shock of the group. When SpaceGodzilla greets Godzilla, Rodan along with Anguirus and Caesar get ready to defend their leader from the celestial saurian. SpaceGodzilla offers his plan to eradicate humanity for Kaiju supremacy, with Rodan and the other defenders shooting down his offer easily. Spacegodzilla tells the Earth Defenders that their ideals for Kaiju/Human coexistence is impossible, using Hades as an example after trapping the weakened dark mage. Spacegodzilla then reveals a strange device that he found on Gromoire Heart's ship, when Rodan asks what it is, the saurian reveals it is the device which Grimoire Heart used to bring the Kaiju to Earth Land, much to shock of the mages and kaiju. SpaceGodzilla offers it as a way home to Terra if they join him, but the Earth Defenders still deny the offer. Soon Godzilla reveals a reason why he started protecting humanity, with his friends with a particular human on Terra: Miki Saegusa. Rodan and the others are caught of guard by Godzilla's story.

As the now adult and giant sized daughter of Mothra clashes with Biollante, the watch from the side lines with Rodan cheering her on with excitement. As the airship being to rock from the waves caused by the fight, the group dodge an attack from SpaceGodzilla, who challenges Godzilla to a one on one fight. When Godzilla tells the Fairy Tail mages to stay back and they want to help the saurian, Rodan states that SpaceGodzilla is too powerful for the mages. As Godzilla goes to face his opponent, Rodan and the other cheer on their friend. As they witness Godzilla and Spacegodzilla battle, Happy asks if they should help but Rodan states that even they wanted to, Godzilla wouldn't allow it. As the fight carries on, they are horrified when Godzilla is stabbed in abdominal region by SpaceGodzilla's crystal sword and collapse to the ground. Rodan is utter shock that he saw Godzilla had taken down. With their energy low, the group could only watch helplessly as SpaceGodzilla prepares to kill Godzilla.
