A legend that has spread among his people that one day during the world's end Kondar will walk with death and that the bomb must have disturbed his rest.

Meanwhile Kondar travels to the island of Wan-pinn south of Japan where the Japan Air Self-Defense Force is trying to keep him at bay, but nothing seems to stop him. The US also sends forces of their own to assist the situation but just as before it does little to effect Kondar.

At the military base for Operation Hell Gate, they witness on screen the defeat of their forces as Kondar begins making his way to Tokyo. When questioning what can be done, Dr. Kamamoto explains that only returning Kondar to the volcano would he be stopped. Commander Flemington suggests using Mount Fuji to trap Kondar. The doctor says that Mount Fuji is dormant but the commander suggests using an hydrogen bomb like they did before to reactivate it to trap Kondar. The lieutenant offers to be the pilot that does it, but Commander Flemington decides he will be the one to do it since he is responsible for what happened being in charge of Project: Hell Gate.

Commander Flemington flies to Japan with a small hydrogen bomb and lures Kondar to Mount Fuji. When the creature gets to the mountain Commander Flemington sacrifices himself to seal the monster using the bomb.
