Mothra/Plots

### Half-Century War Arc

In 1968, Mothra had sensed a powerful energy emanating from Japan, the level of energy concerning her and believing it could be a powerful Kaiju, she goes to investigate. Mothra reaches Kyoto where she sees what or rather who's energy it was coming from: Godzilla. Mothra engages Godzilla in battle and the two appear to be evenly matched. When Godzilla fires his Atomic Breath, Mothra uses her Mirror Scales to deflect the attack back at Godzilla. Injured, Godzilla soon leaves and Mothra returns to Infant Island to recover.

In 1972, Mothra senses that her brother Battra is coming to the end of his larval stage and goes to find him. Mothra manages to track down Battra to Tokyo and he begins to spin a cocoon around Tokyo Tower. Mothra watches over Battra's cocoon to ensure that he isn't harmed. Godzilla arrives in Tokyo and Mothra battles him to protect Battra's cocoon. Mothra begins to get overpowered by Godzilla, but the cocoon hatches and Battra, now in his Imago Form, helps his sister battle Godzilla. Both Mothra and Battra carry Godzilla towards the ocean and drop him there before the pair leave.

In 1975, Mothra was among the several Kaiju engaged in the battle royal in Accra due to Dr. Deverich's experiment with the Psionic Transmitter, where she is seen battling Godzilla, Rodan, Battra, Kumonga, Ebirah, Megalon and Hedorah.

In 2001, when King Ghidorah and Gigan attacked Terra, both Mothra and Battra joined forces and fought against the two space kaiju. However, the two where overwhelmed by the dragon and the cyborg, during the fight Battra is mortally wounded by King Ghidorah. To save her brother, Mothra is forced to place a seal on him so Battra can reincarnate fully healed.

### Kingdom of Monsters Arc

At some point in 2003, Mothra battled the mantis Kaiju Kamacuras. Unfortunately, as Mothra flapped her wings to blow over Kamacuras, she accidently killed the mother of the psychic twins, Minnete and Mallory, who had also just so happened to be on the same island.

### Monster Hunter Arc

   In 2008, Mothra arrives at the Pacific Coast near the Monterey Bay and convinces Godzilla to leave the coast alone before she appeared before Boxer and Claire Plangman of the Monster Kill Crew to warn them away from capturing more Earth monsters and sends a telepathic message to Claire warning her about the invasion of the space monsters. When the Space Kaiju arrive on Earth, Mothra arrives in New York City and confronts Monster X. The two engage in a prolonged battle until Mothra is struck by Monster X's Graviton Beams and defeated.

### Devonian Arc

In 2010, Mothra makes a brief appearance in a slideshow at a megazoology convention in Honolulu. Dr. Kenji Ando's states that most of recorded evidence of her has disappeared.

She then appears in San Diego alongside his son and daughter, Baby Mothra and Mothra Lea, to assist Godzilla in his battle against Destoroyah. During the battle, Mothra takes a fatal blow from Destoroyah after defending Godzilla, permanently crippling her. After Godzilla successfully drives Destoroyah off, Mothra is carried by his son and daughter back out to sea.

Some time later, when Lucy Casprell ends up being washed up on Infant Island, Mothra is seen resting alongside Lea and Leo from her battle with Desotroyah and it is revealed that she may not be able to recover for some time. Mothra is also seen in a flashback when the Shobijin explain about the origins of the kaiju. Mothra is also seen in the "Earth" Monsters section of a mural.

### Trilopod War Arc

   Four years later, Battra, under the control of the evil psychic twins Minnete and Mallory, attacks Infant Island and is ordered to kill Mothra. Mothra and Battra battle, but because of her permanent injury from her battle with Destoroyah, she is severely overwhelmed by him but she is only able to buy some time to allow her children, the Shobijin and the remaining islanders to flee. While trying to deflect a Prism Beam from Battra, Infant Island explodes and Mothra is pronounced dead.

### Post-Trilopod War Arc

While Mothra herself doesn't appear, she appears in Godzilla's memories as the Shobijin show the core members of **Fairy Tail** Fairy Tail after the **Earth Defenders** were transported to Earth Land. As the Fairy Tail mages witness Godzilla's memories, they see Mothra in her battles against Godzilla, Battra and Monster X. They also witness Mothra's final battle with Battra and witness her sacrifice herself to save her children.
