There, Montag would live, waiting for the right moment when people would be ready to accept books again. As Montag led the men back toward the ashes of the city, the city which much like Montag, had been scarred by war, he knew that he would probably never change the world.

- ... first site of the monster. Then, with horrific volume, Godzilla growls could be heard through the haze. The sound bellowed through the silent city, and out into the countryside. The time had come for the war against Godzilla. The soldiers, in many rows, must have numbered into the hundred thousands. They manned their battle stations and prepared themselves for the onslaught. As Godzilla came into firing range the site was blazing with explosions and alive with noise. They bombed on Godzilla with all they had, unloading tons of missiles and bullets.
