@Configures Yeah, I was just thrown by such a sudden transition from trees to lava, especially considering that the kids are kinda far away from Desghidorah (mean hydra thingie) and it's kind of weird that the lava would show up in that one specific spot with them seeing it coming

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebirth_of_Mothra) includes some apparently crucial notes in the plot summary which I swear I did not see:
"Millions of years prior, a giant three-headed space dragon called Desghidorah arrives on Earth and battles a species of enormous and highly advanced moths who serve as protectors of the 'Elias', a race of tiny, humanoid beings. After the battle, Desghidorah is defeated and sealed under the Earth while three Elias, the benevolent Moll and Lora and the vengeful Belvera, and one moth, Mothra, remain."
