Plot summary
One year after Gamera's battle with the Gyaos, a meteor comes down in Hokkaido. Insect-like creatures emerge from the crash site, and Colonel Yusuke Watarase leads a Japan Ground Self-Defense Force team to investigate. At the same time, a wave of telecommunication failures draws in NTT engineers, and Obitsu notices that the missing underground cables form a straight path heading south from the crash. The creatures reach Sapporo, where they attack the municipal subway and build a hive in the tunnels. When Watarase and his soldiers enter the tunnel to look into it, a large pod-like structure rises from the ground.
