Makoto meets and befriends Kei Kawade, nicknamed "Kid Kaiju" for his love of drawing kaiju. The future Avengers witness a kaiju attack in the city and attempt to stop it. A second kaiju appears and begins fighting the first one, and Makoto realizes the newcomer is the same kaiju from Kei's sketchbook. The attacking kaiju retreats, while Kei's kaiju disappears. The Avengers receive more reports of kaiju attacking various power facilities and draining their energy. Realizing Kei was sighted near multiple kaiju incidents, the Avengers decide to investigate, though Makoto asserts Kei's innocence and goes looking on his own. Makoto eventually finds Kei, but the Avengers interrupt them, believing Kei is responsible for the incidents. Kei opens his sketchbook, releasing the kaiju Slizzik in an attempt to escape. The Avengers attack Slizzik, leading Kei to release Scragg, Mekara, Aegis and Hi-Vo to protect them. Makoto convinces the kaiju to stand down, preventing a battle with the Avengers.
