In mid-1992, following the battle with Mecha-King Ghidorah,{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'' (1991).}} a [[meteoroid]] crashes in the [[Izu–Ogasawara Trench]] and awakens [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]]. Six months later, explorer Takuya Fujito is detained after stealing an ancient artifact. Later, a representative of the [[Prime Minister of Japan|Japanese Prime Minister]] offers to drop Takuya's charges in exchange for exploring Infant Island with his ex-wife, Masako Tezuka and Kenji Ando, the secretary of the rapacious Marutomo company. After arriving on the island, the trio find a cave containing a depiction of two giant insects in battle. Further exploration leads them to a giant egg and a pair of diminutive humanoids called the [[Mothra#Mothra's fairies|Cosmos]], who identify the egg as belonging to [[Mothra]].

The Cosmos tell of an ancient civilization that tried to control the Earth's climate 12,000 years ago, thus provoking the Earth into creating Battra. Battra, a male divine moth with a ferocious appearance that vaguely resembles Mothra, destroyed the civilisation and their weather-controlling device but then became uncontrollable, and started to harm the very planet that created him. Mothra was then sent by the Earth to fight Battra, who eventually lost. The Cosmos explain how the meteoroid uncovered Mothra's egg, and may have awoken Battra, who is still embittered over humanity's interference in the Earth's natural order.

The Marutomo company sends a freighter to Infant Island to pick up the egg, ostensibly to protect it. As they are sailing, Godzilla surfaces and heads toward the newly hatched Mothra larva. Battra, also as a larva, soon appears and joins the fight, allowing Mothra to retreat. The battle between Godzilla and Battra is eventually taken underwater, where the force of the battle causes a giant crack on the [[Philippine Sea Plate]] that swallows the two.

Masako and Takuya later discover Ando's true intentions when he takes the Cosmos to Marutomo headquarters, where president Takeshi Tomokane intends to use them for publicity purposes. Mothra enters Tokyo in an attempt to rescue the Cosmos, but the [[Japan Self-Defense Forces]] attack her. The wounded Mothra heads for the [[National Diet Building]] and starts constructing a cocoon around herself. Meanwhile, Godzilla surfaces from [[Mount Fuji]], while Battra frees himself from the Earth's crust and continues towards Japan.

Both Mothra and Battra attain their [[imago]] forms and converge at [[Yokohama Cosmo World]] where they begin to fight once more. Godzilla interrupts the battle and initially attacks Battra. Mothra then briefly incapacitates Godzilla and comes to Battra's aid before returning to battle with Godzilla. Battra then returns the favor coming to Mothra's defense. Regrouping, the two moths decide to join forces against Godzilla, determining it to be the greater threat to the planet. Eventually, Mothra and Battra overwhelm Godzilla and carry it over the ocean. Godzilla bites Battra's neck and fires its atomic breath into the wound, killing him. A tired Mothra drops Godzilla and the lifeless Battra into the water below, sealing Godzilla below the surface by creating a mystical glyph with scales from her wings. The next morning, the Cosmos explain that Battra had been waiting many years to destroy an even larger asteroid that would threaten the Earth in 1999. Mothra had promised she would stop the future collision if Battra were to die, and she and the Cosmos leave Earth as the humans bid farewell.
