This is the Trick Star.
Current elevation: 98,000 feet.
Engine normal.
Maintaining speed at Mach 9.
All heat-resistant components are normal.
Continue climbing as we predicted.

8 minutes have passed so far.
A new record. Congratulations, Doctor Brest.
Thank you,
Captain Clayton.
Once this G-reactive jet-propelled engine can be mass-produced,
using one's hours to travel around the world will no longer be just a dream.
Trick Star: Mission complete.
Please return.
James,
I will prepare some fine wine for when you get back.
Hurry on home.
Trick Star requesting Clayton.
Target confirmed. Several objects are approaching. Over.
What?
James, there's nothing showing up on our radar here.
Well then, what's that shining thing following me back there?
No way... There is another aircraft capable of reaching Mach 9?
Could that be?
Lose it.
The Trick Star's rocket booster is restarting.
Beginning to climb from an altitude of 100,000 feet.
Speed: Mach 15, 16, 17...
Don't a be fool, James! Even you can't...
Elevation: 105,000 feet.
Mach 21, 22, 23.
If this keeps up, he'll exceed escape velocity.
James...
Keep it up, Trick Star.
What's wrong, James?
James?!
I-It's coming, with that rainbow light...
UFO!
UFO?
James...
Answer me, James!
James!!
Mysterious UFO attack! Sky Knight start!
This is a science fiction story. All the characters and names in the show are fictional.
Year 2000
Earth Capital: Metropolitan City
Metropolitan Central Station
Everyone look.
This is the first train in human history with the G-reactive jet-propelled engine.
The "Lightening".
Its maximum speed will be 500 kilometers an hour
It can travel from Metropolitan to New York City in an hour and a half.
It is the dream come true, the bullet-style train.
Hey, what's that?
My, my,
guess Finally catch up.
Billy!
Hey, Lotta.
You are invited as well?
Dad is still the same; he never steps out of the research center.
So I'm here to take his place again.
Today's main guest is absent?
That Doctor Brest.
Hello Billy.
Hey, Emely.
You look very beautiful today.
You still have a silver tongue.
Let's go, the ceremony is going to start soon.
Who's that?
Billy Kimura.
He's Billy Kimura?
The young owner of the Kimura Financial group, rumored to have over two hundred billion in assets.
Even though he is only fourteen years old,
he is a genius who graduated at the top of his class from the British Royal College.
He looks just like a kid.
Apologies for the wait.
Well, please allow me show you all the inside structure, of this train.
Please go ahead.
Washington!
Don't worry, calm down.
What are you doing?
I'm Penny Carter.
This is my good friend, Washington.
I'm not asking you that!
Why would you release a dog in a public place like this?
Yeah, Billy hates dogs.
I'm not talking about that either.
For the trouble I've caused you, I apologize.
But this train is very dangerous.
Why do you say that?
Washington can sense it.
That dog?
What an idiot.
Look at this.
Tankers, commercial flights, submarines...
The past few weeks,
all transportation utilizin the G-reactive engine has mysteriously disappeared.
And this train's power source is a G-reactive engin isn't it?
You never know when it's going to happen to you.
I've heard about those accidents too.
But your summary of these events suggests that the cause is the G-reactive system,
and that's just wrong.
The safety of the G-reactive system has now been completely guaranteed!
You are so out of date.
I see...
What you say certainly sounds like the owner of a financial group that profits from the use of the G-reactive system.
Stop, you two!
Washington!
No!
No way...!
Lotta!
Radiation levels are negligible.
And there's no sign of anything getting burned...
That means the the problem isn't a failure of the G-reactive system.
Maybe it's just as he said.
What do you think, Washington?
No filming?!
Why's that?
You need to postpone your news report until we finish up the investigation.
But we have the right to report!
Once we have erased the tapes, we will return these to you.
No way! That's so rude.
This is a prohibited area, you need to leave as soon as possible.
Excuse me.
Are you feeling better?
Yeah, I'm fine now.
I've read the reports on this series of accidents.
another crew member from the other ship said
his dog started barking.
The report states that a commercial flight just disappeared, right before take-off.
Someone proved that
all the dogs in the neighbourhood started barking at the same time.
Indeed, maybe dogs can sense something.
Young Master, here are the related files for Penny Carter.
Ah, thanks.
No wonder!
No wonder that name sounds so familiar to me.
First place upon graduation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
And he's about the same age as you, Billy.
Your rival is here.
Who?!
We now interrupt with breaking news.
The missing G-reactive submarine, Alexander,
lost in the region of the Marianas islands last month,
was found this morning in the desert in Nevada.
Ice?
Hey, let's see the inside.
Captain Clayton, what are you doing?
This is not your area of responsibility.
I said let me go in there and take a look!
Nobody is going in there.
There is no way for you to keep investigating.
We are prohibiting any filming and recording.
All of your equipment will be confiscated if you violate this rule.
No way! How do we report then?
What are we gonna do?
Ah, Billy!
You're late.
How come you're here?
Cause I want to know,
the true cause of why that train disappeared in front of my eyes.
That's my job!
To solve all the mysteries in this world,
that's the responsibility of workers on the scientific frontier.
What's so funny?
I'm just thinking, that there really is someone like me who shares the same faith.
Sorry,
I'll go ahead first.
Ah, wait!
Νεσ! This is a restricted area!
Hey! Catch them!
This guy is too agile.
Stop!
My my...
What a touch down.
There's nobody here.
Even the news has reported it.
Maybe they were taken away a long time ago.
Ah, out of battery? At this very moment?
Mine is a silicon light.
Mine too.
The lights went out at the same time...
It's not possible.
At the end of thousands of years,
the silver horn will sound.
When the comet falls into the sea,
Ifaberu will take control.
Freeze!
Hands up you two!
My my...
Nice intercept.
This is not a place you kids can play.
If you were to get irradiated, what would you do?
That's not possible.
Ah?
The G-reactive engine on an A7-submarine,
is built by the Kimura Corporation.
Even if it is shot down,
there will still be no radioactive emissions.
It has a safety structure to secure that inside.
But...
Of course, we've tested by Geiger counter.
It sure isn't radioactive.
But...
It wasn't just the two of us inside there.
What?
We saw a girl with black hair.
That's for sure.
Ah...
There's no way!
Go ahead and negotiate with the President again!
Prohibit the ships with the G-reactive system to sail again!
Don't be so pushy, Captain.
Do you have any idea
what percentage of our ships have the G-reactive system?
The damage has spread to1 the commercial flights too.
They have already started to attack us without identifying targets.
Who are "they"?
Are you talking about the invader from the UFO?
Captain, I understand you completely;
you lost a good man.
But that was an accident.
Don't get yourself confused.
You should always look to the future, okay?
That's nothing but sophistry.
Ah, anyway,
I will contact your guardians later.
Please give me your real names and contact info...
Huh?
Bunch of idiots.
It happened a long time ago.
Excuse me.
Hmm?
You are... a soldier, correct?
We saw it too, the train disappeared in front of our eyes.
Did you see the light?
The shining, rainbow light.
Yes! Indeed!
So it really was them ..
Who are they?
Tell us if you know!
The invisible invaders.
In... vaders?
In the past five years, they have started to invade us, step by step.
Submarines, aircraft, the bullet train.
All the means of transportation that have been attacked had the best system,
and have also been on their maiden voyage.
It certainly is a challenge to us humans.
Wait up.
This conclusion isn't making any sense.
Is there some evidence that confirms
this is the cause of this series of disappearances?
My man saw it with his own eyes.
The UFO in the sky.
5 years ago,
during the trial run of the G-reactive fighter, he...
James told me this:
"The rainbow UFO is coming".
Those were his last words.
I really want to avenge his death, no matter what.
I see...
I've got it.
Well, let's use our own resources to catch that UFO.
What did you say?
I have an idea.
This is...
Our company is planning to release it by next month.
The new G-reactive commercial jet, the Comet.
No way! You're going to use this as bait?
Yes.
I've already sent my request to other airlines
asking them to cancel all flights with the G-reactive system.
That is...
A UFO detection system.
Detection system?
Yes.
From what I've researched,
when the train disappeared, the reporters' tapes
recorded some kind of special sound wave.
I don't hear anything at all.
Have you heard about the "dog sound wave" before, Captain?
That's something only a dog can hear, right?
Yeah.
Dogs can hear a much wider range of sound waves than humans.
During the disappearance, the dogs' barking
proves the presence of this special type of sound wave.
Amazing.
What's the detection range on this?
Two to three miles.
But that's no different from a dog's hearing range!
I did this in a hurry, so I had no choice.
No, no, just knowing this is already a big step.
Such an acute sense and activeness; even an adult cannot compete with them.
Who are these two boys anyway?
Current elevation: 32,000 feet.
Engine normal. Radar normal.
How is it?
All normal here.
What's wrong? Are there UFOs?
Oh my, you've already taken off.
We're sorry.
We got locked in here somehow.
Emely, how come you're with her too?
What's this now?
What's wrong?
Warning to Kimura flight.
This airspace is not permitted for any flights.
Change your direction immediately, lower your elevation and prepare to land.
Repeat, land immediately.
Okay, how about letting them escort us?
Will that be all right?
Yeah, the more people that see it, the better.
What's wrong?
It's down.
Rainbow colored...
Captain! Use the emergency fog system!
That is...
The flying UFO!
That is...
James' enemy...
Captain, send an SOS signal now! Quickly!
I can't. I started doing that just now, but there's ho reply.
Interference?!
Engine stopped.
What?
The G-reactive system has stopped.
How could that be?
Captain!
I'm fine!
Then we use the escape system.
Everyone, fasten your seatbelts!
Are we safe?
I've already predicted this situation and even installed a self-destruct system in it.
No, it's not over yet.
SOS. Sky Knight, please respond. Sky Knight.
Damn...
This is the end?
Ah, that's...
James?
Who is the man in the silver fighter,
who took down all the mysterious UFOs at once?
Big fighting scenes with an interesting scientific detective story...
A unique, specially-made scientific adventure story.
Please looking forward to the second half.
Glaybu United Airforce Base (formerly American)
You've really created a lot of troubles for us, Clayton.
Huh?
A UFO, and an unidentified, highly advanced fighter.
Do you really expect us to believe your ridiculous report?
We have, however, had two of our fighters taken down by them.
We never received a report to that effect.
In any case, this is a serious problem.
You used a civilian jet,
and even caused an accident.If this were to be exposed...
This was not an accident!
In the past five years, they've prepared to invade Earth step by step!
We have to find a way to counter-attack immediately!
Not that again.
We will inform you later of any disciplinary actions in this matter.
Until then, stay home and behave yourself.
Damn!
Sorry I asked you out all of a sudden.
No, I have my attention on this too.
It's been three days since the incident.
But none of the news media have reported it.
It seems the higherups really want to cover up the existence of these UFOs.
Seems like it.
Umm, this is...?
Bugs.
There are six of them embedded in my room.
Sorry.
No.
I've been prepared for the worst since I started on this case.
Or perhaps I should just say, since I've come this far, there's no turning back now.
Good, follow me.
This is...
The first jet fighter with a G-reactive engine in human history.
A copy of the Trick Star.
Beginning with the Trick Star, they started this T-series development.
In '98 when all the armies were unified,
as a result of "Progressive Design",
all further development was halted with number four over there.
It's very similar... to that fighter...
That unforgettable T-type engine and special turbine structure.
I'm sure that this fighter embodied all of the developers' beliefs for the T-series.
So that means the development is still in progress?
Could that be... to fight against the UFOs?
Yes.
But the military never acknowledges the existence of this fighter.
Are we being followed?
Since the coffee shop.
Well then, get rid of them.
Huh?
I'll meet you on the top floor, you can go around there.
That way.
Wait, Washington.
When he comes closer, then...
Let's do it!

You are...
Lotta. Emely.
My, Penny and Captain Clayton are here too.
What happened? You two don't look so good.
Return the information?
Yeah, Billy said there was some information regarding the UFOs that he wanted to look up.
Why doesn't he just go look it up for himself?
That library belongs to my father, so it would be easier for me to look there.
Huh?
Wait. Your father is...?
Yes, Albert Brest.
Huh? You're the daughter of Doctor Brest?
Umm, yeah.
Geez.
What's wrong?
Because I've been forbidden to meet with Doctor Brest for the past five years.
And I would never have expected to see his daughter under these circumstances.
Well, why are you coming along as well?
Hey Billy, didn't you say you had something you wanted to show Penny?
I was planning to show him that once I finish it.
A hew UFO detection tool.
Once it's finished, it will be able to cover all of North America.
Isn't that my idea?
No! I designed it by myself!
Compared with your useless one, mine is a hundred thousand times better!
So that's what you wanted to show me?
If so, then I'll go back home.
Wait, we haven't gotten into the subject yet.
While I was searching in the museum's storage,
I found something pretty interesting.
What is it?
This is an electric shock experiment performed by the former U.S. military.
This is...!
It's exactly the same as that fighter
Yes, and this experiment was held four years ago.
One thing we know for certain.
The military has started to research a secret weapon against the UFOs since then.
I'm certain of that.
Ah, it's father.
I guess you need to speak with the Doctor, Captain.
Yeah...
The target is moving, three people together. We will continue tailing.
Nobody's answering the phone?
Yeah, normally there should be his assistants to answer it.
That's weird.
Billy.
Those people are so insistent.
What?
This is very rude if they really are from the military.
Hold tight!
Emely! What did you...?
It's not over yet.
Shoot!
That was...
What was that just now?
What is that smoke over there?
That... Could that be my home?
Everyone, hurry up and get in the car.
Father...
Lotta.
Are we too late?
No one can escape Ifaberu's punishment.
Punishment...
Could it be?
Are you the one who burned down this house?
What the hell is Ifaberu? And who the hell are you?
The arrow has already been shot from the bow.
What?
The land will be dyed a bloody color.
She disappeared...
What was that just now?
Hey bro, come take a look.
The fish detector is broke.
That's weird.
Father...
Don't worry, the Doctor should be fine.
Do you still remember what that girl said?
At the end of thousands of years, the silver horn will sound.
When the comet falls into the sea, Ifaberu will take control.
The jet we abandoned was the "Comet".
That means it was the comet.
She knew the UFOs would attack us in the first place?
But... what is this so-called "Ifaberu"?
What's wrong?
Resonance effects?
It started an hour ago, and the intensity is increasing.
That's...
Metropolitan is...!
United Nations Headquarters
What's the current status?
It seems we have been attacked by a huge unidentified flying object.
The damage cannot, as yet, be calculated.
It's coming so fast. What is the Maze Office saying?
We haven't been able to reach them yet.
Send as many ships as possible to Metropolitan.
Saving the citizens is our first priority!
The city... is burning...
Damn!
Where are you going?
Isn't that obvious?
We've got to save the people in the city!
Give it up. There's nothing you can do, even if you were right there!
That's the UN airforce.
After an attack like that, we'll never give up on it.
Trust them. Trust in the power of humanity's science.
This is Alpha 1. Target has been confirmed.
It's huge, but nothing is showing up on radar.
Don't depend on the machines!
Attention team: use manual control, aim!
Team One's airstrike initiated.
Three seconds till the missiles reach the target.
All have hit the target.
What's wrong, Alpha 1?
No, we didn't hit it
They detonated before reaching the target.
Captain! Let's try it again!
Wait; the target is moving.
Attention team, break by flight and prepare for dogfight.
There are a ton of fighters coming out of the big one.
Alpha 3, Alpha 5, lost.
Alpha 7 taking fire, Alpha 12 lost.
Our technology cannot yet compete with theirs?
The United Army is...
Come on, now.
Emely, that's...
The secret entrance the Doctor made in case of an emergency.
Come on, hurry up!
Where is this taking us?
The underwater main department of the Maze Office.
The Maze Office?
Now it's moving horizontally.
The so-called Maze Office is
centered around Doctor Brest.
Built by the best scientists around the world,
it's the headquarters for Earth's defences.
And I am one of their members.
Emely, you're...
I'm sorry, the tutor was just a cover-up.
My primary goal was
to protect you, the daughter of Dr.Brest from the invaders, Lotta.
Welcome to the Maze Office.
Doctor Brest!
Father...
Father!
I'm sorry, Lotta. I let you worry.
Doctor!
The final testing for the engine is finished.
Good.
Sky Knight, emergency take-off!
Roger.
Sky Knight, emergency take-off!
Gate 1, ready. Gate 1, ready.
Sky Knight, launch!
Doctor, this place is...
The secret city under the sea to prevent the invaders.
Invaders?
Yes, the Earth has been their target.
Over the past several years, they have been making ready to invade us.
And now they finally act.
At first only a few scientists realized this.
In order to protect this blue planet,
they secretly began making plans to oppose them.
Sky Knight.
G-reactive turbine pressure is reaching maximum.
G-electric shock tube; overheating, out of control.
Tell him to leave the battle area now!
No, I can keep it together a bit longer. Leave it to me.
This voice is...
It's all up to you, Sky Knight.
Show them your true, power.
We did it! Awesome!
Enemy ship, taken down.
Good job.
Metropolitan-X, engage.
Begin receiving refugees.
Metropolitan-X?
Everyone,
this is Earth's new capital, Metropolitan-X.
This place is filled with the very best of human technology and is the key to Earth's defense.
Now the Earth is under invasion from a mysterious alien race.
Humanity must overcome the differences of race and of country,
to unite together, and fight against them.
This is Metropolitan-X.
Look.
I must make an appeal to you all.
The Earch is facing a tremendous crisis, this is the Earth's SOS!
James!
Hi everyoneq!
I'm Billy. And I'm Penny.
Together we are: Billy & Penny.
Isn't it the same?
Think of another one! Think of another one then!
But anyway, the aliens are really here.
Yeah, aliens are here.
Second episode: Fort Island appears! Metropolitan-X emergency!
Annoying aliens.
They really are annoying aliens.
If you want to know how annoying they are,
they are like the face Penny makes after he wakes up.
Hey, wait!
You've seen that? When did you see my face right after I woke up?
Don't underestimate the power of the Kimura Financial group.
You're the annoying one.
Thank you for watching! Subtitles by Fansubgroup Ureshii.
