According to the transmission,
it seems the No. 1 and No. 2 Divisions have joined forces.
I see.
Apparently it was worth all the trouble
Shichisei went through trying to mix both Japanese and Americans in those divisions.
Yes.
However...
What is it?
Since we received that transmission
we have not received another transmission from Mars.
Prime Minister Hiruma, President Goodman is on the hotline.
All right.
Inform Shichisei about that matter.
Yes, sir.
Hello, Gerald.
Hello there, Ichiro.
I'm sure you can guess, but its an invitation to the summit meeting.
You probably know what the topic will be.
However, Ichiro, as the head of an allied nation,
let me tell you this beforehand.
Please listen carefully...
This Way and That Way
You're not going to throw it?
Marcos is there... along with Kanako, Jared, and Erika.
Hey, what about Kana-chan and the others?
Did they make it there okay?
Do you think we can get there soon, too?
Alex? Is everything okay?
Yeah. Kanako delivered Akari and the squad leader,
we got them the medicine, and we'll get there soon as well.
Akari will protect Marcos and the others.
Sheila...
Marcos.
Y-Yeah?
Take care of the roaches around here.
Right.
Kanako, get the survivors to safety.
Roger.
Those hands... look like
a mole cricket's.
The mole cricket.
It climbs, swims, digs holes, runs, jumps, flies, and cries.
Its seven abilities are also called its seven talents.
Also, it has astonishing arm strength.
What I'm about to do right now might be
considered taking out my anger on you,
and you might not understand why you're getting this beating...
But even though you can't understand me anyway,
I'm going to say this...
Come at me.
The rainbow stag beetle.
It has the hard shell that's characteristic of beetles,
and its iridescent color creates a camouflaging effect.
Commander Davis!
Let me find it!
If we use my power—
Just rest, Jared.
Please let me do this.
I'm not very smart, so I don't understand international affairs.
Not only that, I'm a drifter who kept doing stupid things and went broke,
and then somehow got lucky enough to undergo the operation...
But when I heard the details of this mission, I was very proud.
Because we were going to be saving Earth from some unknown virus.
That's why with these roaches getting in the way,
and even worse, a human, just like us,
trying to use the project that you and the captain are risking their lives for...
I don't want to lose, even if I die.
You're right, Jared.
I'm counting on you.
I'm going to defeat it.
Crap!
Alex...
I'm sorry!
Even though I was with her,
Sheila... Sheila was...
Marcos.
Read the situation.
I'll kill you.
The reason I punched you is because you
looked like you wanted to get punched.
What did we come all the way to Mars for, huh, Marcos?!
To protect Sheila—
Then there's no reason for you to apologize to me.
I'm here for a different reason.
Ever since we were born, we were on the side of people
who were just going to be used and thrown away.
Our only choices were to join a gang, or sell ourselves.
If we didn't do anything, we were just trash.
I came here to change my lot in life!
Isn't that why you came here, too?
It's a fight to live a decent life!
There's no time for you to be crying with your face
against the ground on this planet full of roaches!
We're going to avenge her.
We're going to complete this mission,
kill the roaches and the traitors, and then head back to Earth.
That sums it up... Right,
Captain?
Yeah, that's right.
Alex, thanks.
No problem.
Our current battle,
as well as the upcoming battles...
We're not going to lose any of them.
There are 39 more days until the rescue vessel arrives!
We're going to survive them,
no matter what!
Do it, Jared.
Echolocation.
The special sense that killer whales and dolphins
use by emitting sound waves.
I found it, Commander! It's right above—
Yeah, I heard it...
The bastard trying to sneak up behind someone who's wounded.
I heard it loud and clear!
I was born with exceptionally good ears.
This bastard is copying me...
N-Not good. It's a stag beetle.
You bastard. Let go of Michelle-san!
Why you...
On Earth, if you forcefully touch a girl, it's called sexual harassment.
It leads to lawsuits, fines, pay cuts, dismissals, and sometimes...
Even this.
It can't be...
Sir, are you certain about this?
Yes, according to President Goodman.
I cannot understand it at all.
What's going to happen to Captain Komachi
and the rest of the crew that is on Mars?
Right now they are probably fighting, believing that help is on the way.
And yet...
The rescue vessel from Plan Delta hasn't even taken off yet.
Transmissions from Mars have ceased.
Apparently every division's radio waves disappeared all at once.
That doesn't mean they all died, but...
...there is an interference.
But that couldn't be due to the intelligence of the cockroaches.
Who could have...
Are you familiar with fighters and sneakers?
It's the behavior of insects, isn't it?
The ones who use their own strength to challenge others and win are fighters.
The ones who don't fight and steal deviously are sneakers.
The general of the Annex 1 project is an American.
Under him are fourteen commanders, including myself.
Which means
what exactly?
That there are fighters and sneakers here, too.
Th-This is...
Adolf-san...
Now, what will you do?
Your boss died.
Shouldn't you fall back and think up a new plan?
Oh! Or could it be that you think I'm the one who did this?
What? Seriously? Do you guys actually care about revenge?
Or is this more of a "whatever, kill 'em all" kind of approach?
I don't have the time to be dealing with you guys right now.
Someone was showing the roaches this.
And that's how they knew to attack our storage.
They knew what the medicine meant, too.
Division Leader,
about the escape vessel...
This has a fake landing location drawn on it.
I see...
It has to be them.
Roaches that are just black and hard are so yesterday.
Akari?
Akari...
Hey,
his fighting style is...
getting sloppy?
Hey, Akari. What's wrong?
Hey! Akari!
Calm down, Akari.
Come back.
You're not who you used to be.
You're one of us now.
Captain... Michelle-san.
That bastard!
I-It's fine, Michelle-san.
I've already caught it.
The net really is an amazing invention.
It gets tangled up on its own.
A little while ago, I spread my string loosely out on the ground like a net.
Right about now it's tangled in the strings,
and those strings got mixed in with the dirt
and should have turned into a bag.
Like a bagworm that's so hard, even a bee or a praying mantis
can't open it.
It'll never be surfacing ever again.
Captain, thank you very much.
I used the medicine, and yet I ended up like that one time...
I haven't done anything.
More importantly...
Don't act like this is all over. It's too early for that.
Jeez. Apparently it's true when
they say that where there's one, there's thirty of them.
I think that's actually a hundred...
Anyway, there's only one thing we have to do.
Unlike the cunning sneakers they are...
We are fighting against them.
While acting like an ally, only to try to steal
another's one moment of progress at a high price.
Against those weaklings...
They will not lose.
We will not let them have Hizamaru Akari, Michelle K. Davis,
or your research.
You will come with me, won't you?
Sushi...
Fatty tuna.
Bluefin tuna.
Hey, Sheila.
We can't go to where you are just yet.
Because we have this battle
to deal with.
Komachi Shokichi...
He, along with the ones he has accepted as his comrades...
I will not abandon anyone ever again.
I, Hiruma Ichiro, will give all that I have
and save them, no matter what.
What were you two talking about?
What are you doing, Sheila?!
Sheila!
You bastards don't seem to understand after hearing it the first time...
So I'll say it again, as many times as I need to.
Even if you steal our equipment and technology and get stronger,
and even if there are some sneaky bastards
on the inside holding us back,
we won't lose, no matter what.
Don't underestimate
the Earth,
and the Earth's organisms!
The landmines are set.
