The AV-98, aka the Ingram patrol labor.
6.02 tons. 8.02 meters high.
SCB powered. SCLM drive system.
Armed and ready for combat with a 37 millimeter revolver and stun baton.
Designed specifically for police use...
to make a psychological impact on the community...
to deter criminals while making the public feel safe.
You must not let go of your dreams
And never turn your gaze away
Yet even still love may cloud up and fade away
And even though you comforted your love
When he was feeling down
Sadness was still weighing down his heavy heart
Hang tight onto your dreams - they're weapons in your arsenal
You'll find that you can get through anything at all
So never cry - you know I will always be watching over you
What I love about you is your strong sense of fairness
So never cry - you know I will always be right there by your side
And so now you can face your future fearlessly
The Griffin fought Division 2 and destroyed Ota's Labor...
before escaping back to the Tsuchiura research labs.
But the Division Manager of Shaft Japan got cold feet...
and called in Shaft's security division.
Three-S was ordered to capture Utsumi and take the Griffin.
But Utsumi escaped and headed for Tokyo.
With him were Bud, Kurosaki, and the Griffin.
Three-S planned an ambush at the Babylon Castle Gate.
Division 2 was also waiting, near Kawasaki.
But the Griffin came ashore on the far side...
and now Division 2 is rushing to the scene.
Tonight I'll fight to the bitter end.
Battle at the Castle Gate
Yes, we're over the Kisarazu side.
Kawasaki is a land route; boats can't go through.
What? You have a live relay to the Chiba station? Roger.
Back off, small fry. You're just going to get hurt.
I only want the Ingram.
So where's the Ingram?
Jet Stream Attack!
Shut up!
But I practiced so hard!
The station wants a voice-over, too.
Voice? They want me to do reporting?
Just fill in until the ground unit arrives.
But...
This is being sent across the country!
Five, four, three...
As you can see, the Black Labor is at the Castle Gate of Babylon.
This is NO Hollywood movie!
These events are real, coming to you live!
The Black Labor first appeared at the Labor Show in Haruumi.
After defeating Special Vehicles, Second Section, it flew away!
It was reported to have crashed in Chiba...
but as you can see, the Black Labor still lives!
Where did this Black Labor come from?
Who created it, and for what nefarious purpose?
These questions are still shrouded in mystery.
You are watching live images from the scene.
This Black Labor may belong to a security company.
It has just destroyed three other Labors...
and it's now walking around leisurely.
Now it's moving toward Kawasaki.
Will it slip into the sea?
Or will it take to the skies again to menace Tokyo?
Wait a moment!
It's Second Section! A lone Ingram has appeared.
The famous 98AV cuts a brave and striking figure!
Your rampage is over! You're under arrest for triggering a riot...
destruction of property, and many other violations!
I know that voice!
Freeze!
I can't exploit a wounded man.
Really, the injury isn't that bad!
Then you'll recover quickly.
But...
Captain, Division 1 is ready!
Good.
I'm coming, too!
Officer Shinohara, I'm not your commander.
If you're needed, your Captain will send for you.
I've fought the Black Labor. You could use that experience.
Yes, but the brass hates officers...
who leave their post to follow a personal grudge.
Really?
Division 2 has no discipline.
Move out!
You look hard at work. I thought you were ordered to rest up.
I don't want to hear it!
Well, perhaps it was just a rumor.
So, you're interested in her battle?
Why wouldn't I be?
I need to fly in a reserve battery.
Want to tag along?
Of course!
Load it up!
It's a stand-off.
Noa, shoot! You have to take the initiative!
Miss lzumi wouldn't fire unless it was life or death.
Sometimes I wonder if she'd even fire then.
If she doesn't fire, the gun is useless.
We can't let the Griffin be captured. We have to blow it up!
More police are arriving on the Kisarazu side.
We may not be able to reach the Griffin in our pursuit cars.
If you have to, use the Abraham. Machine 2 is still in good shape.
Stop!
Hurry! Hurry! That helicopter is stealing my best lines!
There they are!
I want to be right next to them!
What was that car?
Let them go. Any battlefield chaos will make ourjob easier.
The Griffin's moving!
Halt!
Noa, what are you doing?
There are people under the Griffin!
Such tremendous power!
Shouldn't we back up? Isn't this dangerous?
What? Would Robert Cappa or Cartaier Bresson back off?
Yeah, tough call.
Pulitzer, here I come!
I can't use the rifle with people in the line of fire.
What should I do? What should I do?
He's approaching from your left!
This side...
I didn't mean to shoot! I didn't mean to shoot!
Jesus!
Lzumi, a loaded riot gun isn't very well suited for swordplay.
It won't happen again! I've had enough!
Officer Shinshi, take over. I'm going to evacuate the civilians.
Abraham: Next time the Griffin stops, move in on it.
Plant the explosives on its back.
The rest of you, board the Sangria and find Utsumi.
Well, Chief?
Shall we be going?
Nice gun! But you won't use it, so I have nothing to fear.
The Griffin is operating right on the edge.
Yeah, but look how well it moves.
We can't capture it unless we capture Utsumi first.
It's no good.
What's wrong?
They won't let us on until we get the Far East Manager's approval.
Are they trying to make fun of the Three-S?
You want to talk to them?
You better believe it!
Stupid terrorists.
Hey, you can't leave your post!
Where are you going?
Thataway.
Thataway?
Thataway!
Sorry to saddle you with the chauffeur duties.
I'll do whatever it takes to save my skin!
I'll drive, eat garbage, whatever it takes!
Move back! Retreat! Retreat!
Good!
You monster!
What's wrong with her? Why doesn't she use the riot gun?
Ota! Ota!
What?
Give me a hand! I can't hold this by myself!
Ota, come help! TV reporters are in the way at the fight scene!
Is that why lzumi won't fire?
Hurry!
Ota!
Captain, what's going on?
It's you.
Don't give me that!
This looks bad.
The Ingram is actually doing pretty well, considering.
Captain, we've got the reporters. Ota is persuading them to leave.
Persuasion complete.
The area is clear.
Roger. Izumi, did you copy?
You're clear to fire.
I don't enjoy saying this:
Freeze! One move, and I'll shoot.
Coward!
Step down from your machine.
Captain, another Labor is moving in from behind!
Don't stand behind my target!
Stop, or I'll shoot!
It's coming!
What happened?
Thanks, Three-S.
Izumi, your opponent is still moving. Finish him.
Get up! What's wrong, lzumi?
Noa, answer me!
Huh?
Oh, yeah.
I'm going for the basket.
Noa!
Lzumi, what are you doing?
What AM I doing? They're really shouting at me.
It's over.
Did you give it your best shot?
That's what I told myself. Just another few inches...
Would I have kept going? Did I really give it my best?
Noa, are you asleep? This is no time to pass out!
Your opponent is already up! Get up!
What exploded?
Well, I'll make up for it now!
How many hours have I been unconscious?
If it had been hours, you'd be dead!
You'd have been dead in the first minute!
Fight now! You can faint later!
You could be a little nicer to me.
I'm bleeding.
What? Where did he get you? Are you all right?
I cut my lip.
You idiot!
Calm down.
Asuma, you're right.
If you ever said anything nice to me, I'd go soft.
Look, it's not like I was overly worried about you...
I just want you to fulfill your duties, and, uh...
What are you babbling about?
We'll see who faints when I'm done!
Ogasawara, Haruumi, and here... why can't we stop her?
What does it take to stop this lady?
He continues to attack furiously.
He's an incredible opponent... but I can take him.
You lose!
The only loser here...
IS YOU!
Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue
If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight
I know I can do it, if only just once
Pulled into my dream I find that I wake up
Drenched in sweat and feeling lonely
I turn off the TV I've been listening to
Tomorrow I will spend the whole day
In the city of my dreams, amidst the old dust
I want to feel the main street beneath my feet soon
I plan to always look on the brighter side
Keep my chin up, look to the future
After all, there's only one path I can travel
Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue
If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight
I know I can do it, if only just once
If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight
I know I can do it, if only just once
This story is fiction... but in 10 years, who knows?
Noa starts fighting back. Go get 'em Noa!! Kick his butt Alphonse!
One more hit... almost there! I'll never let them get away with this.
I'm gonna make them pay! I'm counting on you Alphonse!
Can Noa catch up with Griffon in time? Will Kanuka expose 3S's sinister plots?
