Episode 5 Extreme Offense, Extreme Defense Solving the Mystery of Element X!
This story is a Work of fiction. Names of characters and establishments, etc. Are in no Way related to actual people or establishments, etc.
Alpha, Beta G-Discharge units... Launch!
G-Discharge units not functional?! What the...
Damn...
This is Sky Knight. Invincible, do you copy?
Sky Knight, what's wrong?
Due to extreme temperatures colder than expected,
the G-Discharge units are losing power!
That electromagnetic force field is shutting down my attack on the Baguan tower!
We've got the same sort of situation here.
Sky Night, head on back for the time being so we can regroup.
Roger.
What's wrong?!
Dammit, and we're just about at the base too.
Hey, stop! That way's dangerous!
But if we don't hurry she's going to...
Don't be rash!
The footing's good! It will be all right. I'm going, Captain!
Penny!
Penny...
Margaret?
So, you are...
There you are!
Hey, get it together! Hey!
This is terrible. With things like this, we're going be in up to our necks ourselves.
Hey!
Did you guys see her?! The girl that was all glowing!
Glowing girl?
She walked right on the water as though she were just gliding along it!
We gotta get outta here. It's crazy to have a boat out on the ocean in a big storm like this!
Kid! That looks bad! He's hurt, ain't he?
So, that's what is going on.
We were even able to confirm the abnormal temperature drops in the Antarctic from here.
The massive cold wave that the Baguan tower is emitting is altering the climate
on a scale far beyond what we had predicted.
Damn, the Baguan tower needs to be destroyed at all costs, but...
We don't have any means left by which...
There is but one way.
It's been surmised that the heat source in the permafrost near the base
of the Baguan tower is the generator for the anti-G-Emission force field.
If we can follow that heat source reaction to get close to...
You mean use the Super Mole, right?!
If we use a G-Discharge propulsion shell to take out that generator,
the tower should lose its electromagnetic force field.
And then we can unleash the full might of the Invincible
and destroy the Baguan tower with the Super GX cannon!
I can't let you do that.
If they have such an aerial defense system set up, I'm sure the enemy also has some
sort of plan devised for protecting themselves in the event of an attack via the permafrost.
It's too dangerous.
But, Dr. Brest...
If we let the Baguan aliens continue to alter the Earth's climate at this rate...
The worst-case scenario of a global freeze is something we can't allow!
If that were to happen, then all humans,
or rather, all life on Earth would cease to exist!
You have to promise me...
Promise me that you'll come back alive.
I'll be all right, because I can't be killed.
Are you okay?
Where am I?
You're in the Labyrinth Alliance Hospital. Don't worry.
So, we were going to save you, but in end it looks like it was you who saved us. Thanks.
What are you talking about?
I told you.
She was together with me the whole time at the mansion!
She was so badly injured she was losing consciousness.
How could she possibly have been able to even move?!
I saw her! I saw her in the snowstorm!
Everything was obscured by the storm and you were probably seeing things.
"Seeing things" nothing!
In fact, Kintaro saw her too!
Uh, me... I...
Tell me! Who in the world are you?!
What is this "Element X" that strange guy is looking for?!
What in the world is this massive cold wave connected to?!
Is that any way to ask a woman a question?
Yeah, it's not like you to get so enraged, Penny.
Penny!
What a pain in the butt that guy can be.
Preparations for departure complete.
Roger. Super Mole departing!
Super Mole departing! Commencing full-speed boring.
Sorry about that. Penny isn't usually like that,
but when it has to do with the Baguans, he gets a little crazy.
Do you know why?
It's because, when he was still little, his parents were killed by the Baguans.
Ain't that right?
Yes.
His parents?
Yeah...
So, that's why he doesn't want even one more human life to be lost because of the Baguans.
He does what he does with that thought burning in his mind.
Huh?
So, they're broadcasting the Bucky Show even in this weather, are they?
We can't get in any other stations at all, but the Bucky Show comes in as clear as can be.
Really?
The Bucky Show?! This is the South Pole!
What's wrong?
Huh? It's nothing.
Where the heck are Lotta and Penny?
Today is your last day, Mr. Baguan President!
Foolish Bucky!
Lotta... You're nothing but a moth drawn to the flame!
Take this! Aurora Death Beam!
My eyes! I can't see!
Hey, Bucky! Your number's up! I'm going to finish you off here and now!
In the end, Bucky was strangled by the Baguan president!
And so the age of the Bucky came to an end, and a new age of the Bagauns began!
Long live the Baguan aliens!
Lotta!
What the heck's wrong with you?!
Lotta!
Lotta...
Long live the Baguan aliens!
Someone stop him now!
Long live the Baguan aliens!
This is the Super Mole! Invincible, what's going on?!
Invincible, do you copy?!
What's happening?
I don't know.
We've got one mile until we're in the G-Propulsion warhead's range.
Shall we continue boring as we are at present?
The only thing that we can do now is place our trust in the Invincible!
Do you trust me?
Yes.
We've got some sort of bogeys closing in on the Super Mole!
What's this?
Long live the Baguan aliens!
The Baguan aliens have even infiltrated a place like this?
So, it's not safe here either, is it?
Take her and get out of here!
Lotta?!
Run!
What's going on?! What's the matter with these people?!
I don't know. The only thing that's clear is that they're after you!
Hurry!
Judging from their shape and rate of movement,
it looks like the approaching objects are probably subterranean missiles.
It's just as Dr. Brest had guessed.
What should we do?
Cut the engines.
Now!
I'd bet my life that the Baguans' subterranean missiles
track us by means of sensing the energy given off by the G-Reaction engine.
Ready the decoy missiles!
Roger!
Decoys launched!
All subterranean missiles are tracking the decoys!
Margaret!
This way!
Washington!
You all right?
Yeah...
I can't believe they've even infiltrated a place like this.
Just how powerful are they?
I don't know very much about my grandfather's research.
The only thing I do know is that when he died he was leading a life of solitude.
Let's get back to the mansion.
Huh?
There has to be a clue as to the crimes he committed.
The enemy missiles will reach the decoys in five seconds.
3... 2... 1... Zero!
All right! Recommence full-speed boring!
Roger! Full-speed boring!
We're picking up something on radar!
Some of the enemy missiles escaped the blast, and they're heading for the Super Mole!
Should we cut the engines?!
Nope, keep them going full throttle!
The missiles are on our tail, and now within 0.5 mile!
How long until we can launch G-Propulsion warheads?!
In 0.3!
I'm counting on you Super Mole! You can outrun those things!
Not yet! It's still too soon!
The missiles have closed to 0.3 mile, now 0.2!
Launch in 0.1... 0.05...
We're good to launch!
Launch all G-Propulsion warheads! After launch, cut the engines immediately!
Roger!
Launching all G-Propulsion warheads!
Cutting engines!
Enemy missiles at 0.05 miles!
4... 3... 2... 1... Here they come!
Enemy missiles are tracking the G-Propulsion warheads!
All right!
G-Propulsion warheads reaching Baguan Tower in 7...

Heat source terminated.
The generator's been destroyed.
But the Baguan Tower is still standing strong.
As I would have guessed, the Invincible's...
Let's do it ourselves.
There's no doubt if we were to unleash the Super Mole's G-Reaction engine and make a charge...
Or we could... But!
It's clear what we have to do.
We leave our lives in your hands.
We've only known each other a short time, but I'm proud to have worked with you.
Thank you both.
Super Mole, do you copy?
Captain!
Is that you, James?!
What happened?
I'll explain later.
Prepare to fire the Super GX Cannon!
All crew members, brace yourselves for the shock!
Roger. Prepare to fire the Super GX Cannon!
Super GX Cannon ready to fire!
All right then, Super GX Cannon... fire!
We're detecting a major heat source at the South Pole.
It's the Invincible's Super GX Cannon.
The Baguan Tower has been destroyed!
James...
Sure is a lot of snow.
Yeah, it sure sucks, but newspapers have to be delivered, even in this kinda weather.
Thanks a lot.
Oh sure! Take care, all right?
A hidden room?
Everyone in town hated my grandfather,
since he was doing some kind of uncanny research.
If he took one step outside, people would hurl insults at him nonstop.
That's why he had this room, I'm sure.
My grandfather built this hidden room so that he could carry on his research in secret.
There's no need to be scared.
It's a three-dimensional imaging apparatus that my grandfather made.
What did you say?
Forgive me.
My crime is that I have been playing God,
and I accept my punishment.
Forgive me.
My crime is that I have been playing God...
What's the deal?
It's broken. It just has him repeating the same part over and over.
As long as the thing is plugged in, you can't turn it off.
Sometimes it will just start playing like this.
That's why there are a bunch off strange rumors about this being a "ghost mansion".
If this is some kind of video recording, there must be a recording device somewhere.
If I can fix that...
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't even ask.
That's fine. Go right ahead.
I'll go put some coffee on.
Um... Thanks...
The enemy base in Antarctica has been destroyed.
At least we've avoided the worst-case scenario of a global freeze,
but I think it will probably take the atmosphere at least 300 years to return to its natural balance.
300 years...
A more pressing problem is the fact that we're finding that some humans
have allied themselves with the Baguan aliens.
We almost lost the Invincible because of the warpath the aliens are on.
Dr. Anderson is looking into that right now.
Lotta, can you hear me?
What is it that you have to do right now?
I have to obey the Baguan aliens.
Why do you have to obey?
Because the Baguan aliens are our saviors.
They will bring happiness to all the people of the world.
It's because of that radio.
A radio?
She started acting strange from listening to a radio.
There's gotta be some sort of hypnotic sound wave
that's emitted during the Bucky Show that digs deep into a person's psyche.
But you weren't hypnotized.
That's because I wasn't listening to it nearly as intently as Lotta was.
Young Master, your father is calling for you.
I'll be right there.
Emely, take care of Lotta.
Right, you take care of yourself.
I'm back.
Dad?
Ah, there you are, Billy.
Aren't you late? I was getting tired of waiting.
I brought you a Bucky doll.
They're valuable, and you can't find them anywhere anymore.
Um... Thanks, I'm sure you went to a lot of trouble to get it, but I'd rather not take it.
Why?
Why? Come on, that's kind of unfair, don't you think?
If you're going to do such kind things just for me all the time...
It's fine.
From here on out, all shall be equal.
Equal?
Yes,
because the Baguan aliens are going to rule over us!
Rule over us?
What are you saying?!
We're not going to lose this war to them!
We'll deal with those Baguan aliens using the power of our scientific...
The Baguan aliens can't be stopped.
Well, how about we take you to the world of the Baguan aliens!
It'll be a blast!
No! No way!
What have you done?!
Things are going to be a mess if I don't hurry up and put an end to that radio broadcast.
Long live the Baguan aliens!
What are they doing?
Stop! Stop!
What's going on?
You want to get yourself killed?!
I'm James from the Labyrinth Alliance! Stop your attack immediately!
We're from the New Mexico National Guard.
The U.N. Has no jurisdiction over us!
Damn...
That radio broadcast won't stop?
No, even though it would seem their broadcasting tower was totally destroyed.
Hone in on that transmission.
I doubt they'll be able to broadcast if they don't have electricity.
Hey, you!
Where's the Commander?!
Are you another one of those radio zombies?
"Radio zombies"?
A treacherous person who worships the Baguan aliens and can't wait for their arrival.
Those people are just being manipulated.
Breaking down the trust between human beings,
inducing self-destructive behavior...
Why can't you see that that's exactly what the Baguan aliens want?!
Drop your weapons now.
Forget it.
Don't shoot! You might hit one of our own!
You are one crazy...
Captain!
The National Guard is already totally out of control.
You keep rushing into places like that,
and I don't care how many lives you have, it won't be enough.
This is James.
Please get back to headquarters.
Metropolitan X is under attack!
What?!
It might be that there are even some radio zombies in the ranks of the National Guard.
What a mess...
You head on back.
There's something that I need to check out.
But...
The only ones who can put a stop to this chaos are that Labyrinth Alliance of yours.
You take care of things for me, okay?
Captain...
Be careful, sir!
Did you figure anything out?
I figured out that your grandfather was a genius.
I can't believe he invented a device like this thirty years ago.
Inventing wasn't the only thing he did.
He also made a lot of discoveries.
Unknown stars, unknown life forms, unknown particles...
And these ants are one of the new species he discovered.
There's one other thing that I figured out.
This thing can project an image even to somewhere far off.
If you record something with this, you can use it to project an image anywhere you want.
For instance, inside some submarine.
Hey, you!
Wait up!
Don't follow me!
Why do you have to keep insisting that I'm this mysterious girl you saw?!
What possible reason could I have for trying to mislead you like that?!
You were so determined,
and I thought if you could help me, so...
I'm sorry. I won't doubt you anymore.
What are you two doing?
What do you mean by that?
The city's in big trouble, but here you are...
You two stop your fighting!
The Baguan aliens have discovered a way to manipulate living people.
If we don't do something about it, it will be the end of the human race!
I'm aware of that, and that's why the first thing we've got to do
is figure out what this Element X that the aliens are after is! Don't you get that?!
It looked to me like all you were doing was getting all close to a girl.
Wha... No! I was just...
Makes no difference to me.
What's this?
It's a miniature communications device.
Telephones and radio are useless now.
You'll need it if you get in a bind.
Good luck.
So, we can't even trust the U.N. Forces.
You should take a little break.
Thanks.
This is good... You're good at cooking?
Well, it's because I've always been on my own.
What about your parents?
They died before I was old enough to even remember.
Same with me. My parents died when I was just a kid.
I've been on my own ever since.
I know, I know... You've been there for me all along.
You and I, we just might have a lot in common.
Yeah, maybe we do have a lot in common.
You all right?
It's happened to me a lot lately.
It's like all of a sudden, my body won't do what I want it to.
Have you seen a doctor?
No...
You should go have yourself looked at!
Your parents would tell you the same thing if they were around.
I know, I'll go.
Thanks for caring.
Uh, I... I guess I better put this thing back in order.
You okay?
Grandfather?
Is this three-dimensional image too?
July 2nd, 1952...
Using an X-ray telescope,
I have completed my search of the entire galaxy for other life forms.
I have found nothing.
There are no other life forms except those on Earth.
We are all alone!
What?!
But I will not give up!
If space is nothing but endless darkness,
then I will give it the light of life by my own hand!
I present this life form to you.
By combining a body that can withstand any environment, no matter how severe,
and the amazing human mind, I give you this artificial life form...
The Infabel!
This can't be!
What does this mean?!
That I'm not actually the child of a mother and father?!
Am I not human?
The Infabel will take a journey in search of a new world.
They will set down roots on some planet and give birth to their own civilization.
Go, my children! Go!
To a star that shines with hope for us!
It's too soon!
How could their civilization have developed to this point in a mere three years?
The Infabel's homing instinct has led them to begin their return to Earth.
Forgive me.
My crime is that I have been playing God,
and I accept my punishment,
but this tragedy must be avoided.
I shall leave Element X where the Synonyms live.
The Infabel's return to Earth...
So, the Baguan aliens are...
Washington, what's wrong?
Margaret, you gotta keep it together!
We need to stay hidden.
Whatever you do, don't go out there until I give you the word.
Captain!
What are you doing here?
What do you mean what am I doing here?
Get this mutt off of me!
Margaret!
Penny!
Margaret!
No!
Margaret!
Penny!
We're too late!
We're still having sporadic skirmishes with the National Guard,
but it's probably just a matter of time until things are in order.
How about your end of things?
In the investigation that followed, we were able to pick up the signals
of multiple amateur radio stations that were broadcasting the Bucky Show.
Good.
We'll dispatch special units right away to take out their underground broadcasting stations.
If we do that, there is no way of avoiding a clash with station personnel.
Well then, what do you suggest we do?
This is an anti-Smasher device that I invented with Billy's help.
By emitting a jamming signal from here, we can completely wipe out
any hypnotic signals being emitted from radios.
If that hypnotic sound wave is cut, people will wake back up.
Such a result has already been proven with my daughter.
I'm sorry to have worried you all.
Very well. Prepare to emit the anti-Smasher signal!
Voltage increasing. Circuits 1 through 5 connected.

What's going on?!
A fire's broken out!
What?!
Blockades 5 through 8 have closed!
Rescuing the living is our first priority!
No one's going to be putting an end to the Bucky Show!
Dr. Lee!
Long live the Baguan aliens!
Emely!
Why did you shoot him?!
It's a tranquilizer gun.
He'll be waking up in about two hours, I'd guess.
The anti-Smasher... Hurry up and put out that fire!
How careless of us...
We never considered that someone in the Labyrinth Alliance
would be under the influence of those hypnotic sound waves.
Doctor! We've picked up gravitational vibrations from above the lunar orbit!
What?!
Put it on-screen!
It can't be! Is that...
Is that the Baguan's planet?!
What the heck?
Is that...
What is this mysterious planet that appeared all of a sudden before our eyes?!
What is the fate of the world, which has fallen into a state of anarchy?!
Be sure not to miss the final episode of Project Blue: Earth SOS!
The melody of countless unnamed little stars
A signpost for travelers
There is no such thing as a meaningless existence
The warmth of your arm I embraced
The undying light in your eyes
The important things are always close at hand
I'll keep calling your name over and over
Because you are the only proof in this world
I spread my cobalt-colored wings
And gently wrap them around all the sadness and happiness
In the new morning, the wind's first cry
Hello there! So, there's only one episode left, eh, Penny?

The Last Battle for Earth! Did you hear me?! I'll never forgive you if you tell them!
If I don't, it'll just be like some preview.
Yeah well, that's what this is, a preview. That's what it's been all along. Hey!
See you next time! See you next time!
Oh! And what will become of Dr. Lee?!
