Terror of Mechagodzilla (First Draft)

The first draft of Terror of Mechagodzilla was submitted by Yukiko Takayama on July 1, 1974.[1] While doing research on ways to control sea life, Dr. Mafune uncovers two dragon-like monsters called the Titans. Revealing his findings to his colleagues, the other scientists disregard his outlandish claims and after an outburst Mafune leaves the institution. However, the doctor continues his research with the help of his only daughter, Katsura. Consumed by rage for his mistreatment, Mafune becomes obsessed with his work and ultimately learns to control the two dinosaurs. Many years later, the doctor is confronted by a group of mysterious men asking for the aide of the two Titans. They reveal themselves to be spacemen from the black hole, and explain how they want the Titans to join forces with their newly constructed Mechagodzilla II - a proposition to which the doctor agrees. However, Mafune starts to become envious of the robotic monster, and sends out the two Titans to attack Tokyo ahead of schedule. The two Titans manage to merge into a much larger Titan, which has a brief fight with Godzilla before retreating back to the sea. A second attack is then prepared, this time with both the fused Titan and Mechagodzilla II. The two monsters immediately start leveling Tokyo, and Godzilla once again appears to stop them. During the skirmish, the entirety of Tokyo is leveled, but in the end Godzilla emerges victorious.
