Inside, the group discovers the Kaa, a race of two-dimensional creatures, who have been waiting for the completion of the gate and the Great Tearing, allowing the beast, which is their deity, into the world. Dr. Yamane reveals that the Kayama expedition was a cult that worshipped Kaiju and one member fled in panic, preventing the god from arriving. That man was Yamane’s father and he is here to take his place. The mad scientist leaps into the gap left in the summoning machine and time and space start to warp around them. Reality tears open and a giant monster enters, stepping on Yamane and terrifying the others. Reed speculates that they must enter the monster. Thing rips open a pore and Iron Man, with his protective armor, crawls in. Invisible Woman creates a protective suit out of her force field and goes in with Shellhead. Reed then prepares to calculate the monster’s destination but a surprising figure appears: Mole Man, riding on a giant flying creature, directs them to Monster Island….
