My body starts to melt
it was waiting for this miracle
1-2-3-4-546-7-8
009
You've got the chance to express you
Here comes the imagination
Time, place
Truth and lies
Joy and sorrow
Kindness, hateness
Happiness, sadness
Smile, tears, friendship
Alone, together, birth
Death, sleep, fight
Space and oneself
In that promised place
I feel it once again
The spreading of a dream that's come true
I start running today too
Episode 2: The Escape
Father! Father!
Father!
Wake up!
F-Father!
The suspect is on the loose!
The suspect, Joe Shimamura, has escaped from custody!
I repeat, suspect Joe Shimamura has escaped from police custody!
Freeze!
Is he alive?
Yeah.
Not bad. And he's the perfect age.
"They know the base's self-destruct code!
If I get killed, this will all blow up!"
That was pretty ham-handed.
You'd never get a part in a West End production like that.
You know, Dr. Gilmore?
I was trying to be convincing.
I guess they're not going to just let us go.
Doctor!
I can't do this!
I've never flown before!
There's always a first time.
Give it a shot.
That's crazy!
Take control!
I've got it. I know how to do this!
Your pursuers are Black Ace fighter jet drones!
You heard the man, 009.
We don't have to hold back.
Why is he helping?
Dr. Gilmore? He's the one who plotted this whole rebellion.
He told us the organization tricked him,
but who knows what someone's really thinking?
Except he showed us that he was just as anxious
to be free of Black Ghost as we were.
For now, that's good enough.
004, what is "Black Ghost?"
Here they come!
Nice!
004, tell me! What is Black Ghost?!
I'm impressed you think we have time for a conversation in the middle of a dogfight!
I don't know much about it myself,
except the organization is a major league arms dealer!
Arms dealer...
They sell weapons to spread the seeds of war.
Arms dealer...
Black Ghost...
004!
I'm out of ammo.
I'll go buy some more.
Just kidding.
004!
Wow...
These vehicles themselves are weapons.
Just like my body.
Why did Black Ghost turn us into cyborgs?!
They just wanted to develop more advanced weapons.
And we were the result.
Weapons...
There's X Island!
Doctor, we're flying under the radar,
but at this height, we'll crash into the island.
Don't worry!
Fly around it!
If we fly through here, we can land in the cove.
Doctor, you want him to pull an acrobatic maneuver, huh?
Here goes nothin'!
Aim for that cave!
Is everyone okay?
More or less.
Speak for yourself!
Hey!
There's plenty more where this came from, so eat up!
It's delicious.
What is this?
This is really good too.
I cooked some Cambodian style, some Chinese style.
Lots of fresh meat up there.
But what you're eating, 007, is...
I-I wish you hadn't told me...
Snake meat is often used in traditional Cantonese cooking...
I don't wanna hear it! I don't wanna hear it!
And we can trust those scientists?
They're the ones who told me about this cave.
They all feel the same way I do.
We finally realized that Black Ghost had been deceiving us.
And when those scientists contact us, we'll infiltrate the base?
Then we'll escape by ship, right?
I'm skeptical about making a clean getaway like that.
If it were a mere ship, yes.
But this is something that'll make taking refuge here on this island worthwhile.
Well, you'll see.
- Come on, 001, drink up.
- Little-bitty baby! - Come on, 001, drink up.
- Little-bitty baby! - You have to be more gentle!
- Little-bitty baby! - I'm a baby, remember!
Here.
This is the only time you act like a baby.
You can't beat a woman when it comes to motherly behavior.
True... I mean, what do you know?! You cook filthy cave beasts!
What was that?!
They're here!
They're going to bomb us!
Hey!
009!
You saved us? Thank you.
009!
Are you all right?!
Yeah!
But what about the others?!
I'm sure they're fine.
Danke schoen.
Whoa, hold on!
I figured I couldn't be crushed by the rocks if I turned into one!
Oh, sorry about that.
- It's good to see that no one got hurt. - Hot! Hot!
But our exit...
I'm sure we'll figure some way out.
There it is!
Our comrades!
This isn't what I was told.
There's heavy security.
Splitting up into two groups was a good call.
If all goes according to plan, the enemy will be lured away any time now.
Emergency alert!
Intruders in armory 3!
It's begun!
Emergency alert!
Hurry!
Take that!
Is... this the ship?
Or a plane?
It's just a prototype, but they intended to name it Black Phantom, apparently.
Black Ghost's new pride and joy is supposed to dominate land, sea, and the air.
G-Gilmore!
Ryan!
Dr. Ryan!
E-Everyone's been killed.
Ryan!
Uh-oh...
Dr. Gilmore, you made a deal with the devil and a brilliant invention was born.
You know that more than anyone, so why would you betray us?
Was it out of cowardice?
We realized your true intent and that you'd tricked us!
Don't make me laugh.
You pretended to be tricked. Isn't that closer to the truth?
Because of your appetite for research!
T-That's ridiculous!
Be that as it may, I'm going to eliminate all of you!
009!
Don't!
Normal humans can't withstand accelerated speed.
Oh...
Fire!
They just keep coming!
There are too many of them!
006, melt us an opening!
A hole?! But water will come pouring in!
Just do it! 009!
It's crazy!
I'm counting on you!
Fire!
What did I tell you?!
Need a lift?
008!
Hippo express!
Are you okay, madamoiselle?
Where's 009?!
D-Dinosaurs!
Calm down, they're robots!
They're attacking!
Skarle-sama! Skarle-sama!
I've been observing everything.
Sir, I would ask your permission to blow up the island with them on it.
Thank you.
Stop!
So you're the boss, huh?!
Here I go!
Did you use Acceleration Mode?
009 doesn't have a monopoly on speed.
W-What was that?!
It's too late.
You and your friends will be blown to smithereens along with the base.
Well done. You have carried out your final duty admirably.
Final?!
I've been keeping an eye on you 00 series cyborgs.
How could you just murder your own people?!
He had sewed his purpose.
You and the rest will join him soon.
The price you'll pay for defying me.
You'll end up at the bottom of the sea for eternity, 009!
H-He disappeared.
That was my last one.
Then I'll accelerate once more!
That was so cool, 009!
Let's get a move on, everyone!
Right!
He stole your thunder again, huh?
Tch!
All right! Let's move out!
Carefully! Okay?
Fire the torpedoes!
Is it over?
Is it really over?
Your long unseen haw-smile
The unforgettable genesis of next begins
I can't get you out of my mind
Standing alone, please tell me why
But there is no easy answer
Genesis of next
You just get into
Alone on this planet
Lonely planet
I peeped through the keyhole again
All alone in the faint darkness
You can't soothe my remaining wounds
That's a lonely planet
North, east, south, west
True love, giving into the temptation of nostalgic words
Now that I think about it
You were dancing alone
Shedding tears and quivering, you were alone
But then you mustered courage and screamed up at the sky
There you searched for something and found it
You felt it... lonely planet
You opened the door to tomorrow and started running
Had faith in love for your own sake
Sensed the world of dreams at your side
Alone, you closed your eyes
He arrives with a thunderclap.
The tenth cyborg in the 00 series.
His name is 0010.
He's a terrifying assassin who comes to exterminate us for betraying Black Ghost.
Lightning attack, Acceleration Mode.
How can we fight a formidable enemy whose abilities far surpasses our own?
