The Desperate Outlaw Squad
A fire at the prison near the Germany-Belgium border led to a large number of prisoners escaping.
Some headed towards the Belgium border, while others headed to the city, shrouded in darkness.
However, Germany is the home of Count Egobossler's main base.
Galactor's merciless forces killed the escaped prisoners one after another.
These red dots are places already under Galactor's control.
At this rate, it won't be just Europe, they'll take over the whole world!
The UN didn't even make a dent in them!
We're strong enough to win against them in small situations,
but if the war spreads much further, we won't be able to do anything.
Relax. Galactor only has so many people in its armies.
The war won't get any bigger.
But do you really think they'll be happy with just Europe?
From what we've seen of Count Egobossler, it won't be that simple.
And don't forget about Leader Z!
No, this is about Count Egobossler.
Taking control of Europe was just the forerunner to his bigger plan.
Bigger plan?
Yeah. But unfortunately, we still don't know what his plans are.
If we don't know that, we won't be able to take down Galactor.
That's right.
Chief!
It's just as Ken said.
Thanks to the ISO's investigation of their invasion,
our spy in Germany has provided us with new information on their planning base outside Germany.
What's that?!
This is the Data Bank Base, where they put together all their plans.
The data on what Galactor has planned after their conquest of Europe should lie within this base.
If we can get our hands on it, we'll know just what Galactor's real intentions are.
Understood. We'll begin right away.
Wait! This base is impenetrably protected!
Not even your team could even get near it!
It was built by man. It has to have a flaw somewhere!
Please be extremely careful!
Yes, sir!
Science Ninja Team, Go!
Roger!
How do you like it, sir?
Is the Planning Room's function to your satisfaction?
Yes, well done.
Now we know our enemies' movements and how we should attack.
Just as you'd predicted, sir.
They don't know our plans, so they're flying east, then west the next day,
kept completely busy by small skirmishes!
Yes, this data analysis on how we should proceed on the African front is perfect.
Now we won't have to engage ourselves in sluggish battles, unlike before, my apologies.
And we can quickly take over the world!
There's radar from this point on, so we can't bring in the mecha.
So Joe and I will go by land.
Jun, Ryu, and Jinpei, wait here.
We'll let you know if anything happens.
Just as we thought.
There's a strong electrical current running through the mountains surrounding the base.
They've really outdone themselves.
Someone's coming!
Walk a little slower, will ya?
I'm just a poor old man!
Galactor's forces are right behind us.
If you don't want to die, then pick up the pace.
W-wait!
Halt!
Wh-what are you?! Are you Galactor?!
No!
I don't know, but just looking at their marching band outfits, they can't be Galactor!
We're going on ahead!
Ah, wait, please, wait!
H-hey, don't go th-
Let them be. From what they're wearing, you can tell they're prisoners.
Prisoners or not, we can't let them get themselves killed!
So we can't just leave them alone.
Fine, then, let's go.
Ken, get down!
At this rate, those men have definitely gotten themselves captured.
P-please help us!
We just got lost!
You say you're lost, but you're wearing prisoner uniforms!
You're really good!
Looks like you're our pals after all!
Don't group me with the likes of you criminals.
You shouldn't be looking down on us criminals.
I'm the greatest safe-cracker in the world, Alan Rocky.
And I'm the world's best cat burglar, Sam the Razor!
Also known as Senile Sam.
And this is Nick the Assassin.
Who are you?
We're the Science Ninja Team, Gatchaman.
The Science Somethin'?
The same one that's fighting Galactor?
Looks like you're going to that Galactor base, too.
You'll just get in our way.
If you value your lives, you'll get the hell out of here.
That's right, this is a life-threatening operation that's not for cat burglars.
Things are getting real interesting!
If we don't get around this base, we can't get into Belgium.
This works out great. Let's go together.
No! Get out of here now!
Really? Then we'll start shouting and call Galactor's forces.
Wait!
Looks like you finally get it.
Ken!
Promise me one thing.
You'll do exactly as we say.
You got it.
From now on, I'm the Senile Science Operative Sam.
I'm getting real excited now!
We aren't too far now! Keep it up!
Wait, Grandpa Sam!
Th-they got mines!
That was a close one, gramps.
A few more steps and you would've rested in pieces.
D-don't be silly! I had a feeling something was off right from the start!
All right, I'll go.
Don't! That's crazy!
Don't waste the only life you have!
He didn't need to do that.
He's beating me at my own game!
We should go, too.
Wait for me!
Nick! Come over here!
What?
Don't forget, you only have one life!
I don't need my life!
Forget that, look at that!
It's nothing, I'm fine.
Get out of here, gramps.
Huh?
You're only holding us back.
What?! You're really going to make a poor old man go alone?
That's right!
It's a miracle we got this far.
We're not going to drag some old man along with us now.
Please, I like you guys!
I won't cause any more trouble, so please take me with you.
All right, Grandpa Sam.
You're too nice, Ken!
Thank you kindly.
Wait!
If we don't make it through here alive, we can't get inside.
Looks like it's my time to shine!
Those Galactor goons had this on them!
It's okay now!
Listen up, we're here to complete our mission.
Don't go off on your own.
All right.
I'm tired.
All right! Now my Africa plan is perfect!
Yes, with this, our victory is assured!
The data has been saved to Databank SP-1 .
We're sure to win with this!
Nothing good, nothing good.
Gramps, don't do anything stupid.
Just being around you makes me feel nauseous.
Don't get all full of yourself!
You're just a safe-cracker!
My trade is an art, unlike yours, gramps.
Now, I'd say it's about time for the star to come on stage.
Later.
Wait!
They told us not to go off anywhere!
I'm going to go keep an eye on him.
That's the data bank.
Let's go, Joe!
This is it!
But how can we get it open?
Who cares, just smash it open!
Wait!
That door's unlocked.
So that's where you were!
I told you not to go off on your own!
If you'd blown it open, everything inside would've been destroyed, and you'd be dead, too.
Wow! You're as smart as I thought!
Watch out, gramps!
If you put your hand in there now, you'll hit lasers that will set off the security alarm!
Wow, they really got it set up!
What's wrong? Is it too hard for a master safe-cracker?
Don't be stupid.
You're about to see how good I am.
All right!
This kind of thing's an art.
Watch out!
Nick!
Nick! Stay with me!
Y-you did that to save me...
No. I just wanted to die.
Why?!
I'm an assassin.
I killed lots of people for money.
The only way I can atone for my sins is by dying myself.
Nick!
Hurry up and get out of here.
I just set a time bomb in the machine room.
It'll blow up in ten minutes.
Nick! Nick!
Gatchaman!
Great work getting this far.
Egobossler!
So that's Egobossler?
Hey, Egobossler.
I, Rocky, stole your data cassette!
Wh-what?!
Don't let them get out alive!
Kill them, kill them!
Now! Run, Grandpa Sam!
Dammit! It's a dead end!
Get back, get back!
Get outta our way!
I'm going to get my revenge for Nick!
If you don't get out of our way, I'll bash this on the floor!
Do you understand what I'm saying?!
If I throw this, everyone here's going to be blown to smithereens!
Look out!
Look out, Grandpa Sam!
Run!
Dammit, Gatchaman ruined our plans again!
Dammit, Egobossler got away!
But we got the data cassette.
In exchange for Nick and Grandpa Sam's lives.
Looks like this was more important to you than I thought.
So, how much will you give me for it?
You bastard, you planned on selling it to us all along?!
Of course! I risked my life to get it.
If I don't get a good price for it, it wouldn't have been worth it!
That's pretty sleazy of you, Rocky!
Grandpa Sam! You're alive!
Sam doesn't go down easy, I tell you that!
Rocky! Don't forget that Nick sacrificed his life so they could get their data!
So what? If you want a cut, then come with me!
Who'd go with you anyway?
Where are you going, Rocky?!
If you won't buy it, Gatchaman, then I'll sell it to Chief Nambu of the ISO!
Later!
That bastard!
Hold on now, I thought this kind of thing would happen, so I stole it from him.
The tape he has is just a karaoke tape!
Good work, gramps!
See, I still have some tricks up my sleeve!
You can say that again!
I need to thank you, but first I have to ask for a favor.
Are you two planning on walking back from here?
No, our friends are waiting for us nearby.
Well, could you and your friends drop me off in Belgium on the way?
We can't say no, Ken.
Now you're talking!
Thanks to the unexpected help of a senile old cat burglar called Sam the Razor,
Gatchaman was able to steal Galactor's important mission plan data.
The data would definitely make it easier for them to stop Galactor's plans.
Gatchaman returned to their base at a light and easy pace!
The African Mantle Energy plant was destroyed in seconds.
It was destroyed by a terrifying extinction ray gun developed by Dr. Doll.
Behind the scenes, his daughter Karen tries to get him to abandon his research.
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Fear of the Extinction Ray Gun"!
Look forward to it!
