Order to Blast the Satellite
Why? Why are you telling me to attack Polymia Island?
Egobossler, are you saying you won't follow my orders?
I did not say I would not!
I'm asking why you want me to go to a deserted island in the southern seas!
You will not be fighting there.
I want you to take part in the Gamma Plan.
The Gamma Plan?
Yes.
When I was still part of Leader X, one of his subordinates, Marstora,
spent a lot of time on that plan.
Leader X's subordinate, Marstora?
Go to Polymia Island to help!
Marstora is quickly heading towards his target!
But what is the purpose in it?!
Stop being stubborn, Egobossler, and leave at once!
Damn!
Target spotted in geocentric orbit!
All right, slow down and match the Remria 7's orbit!
Yes, sir!
Adjust orbit!
Adjusting orbit.
Marstora.
He built bases on Mars and Venus and headed the Solar Shift plan.
Orbit adjustment complete!
Beginning the Gamma Plan!
There's Cassiopeia!
And that's Orion.
Then there's Andromeda!
They're so pretty.
Jinpei!
B-Big Bro!
This isn't a planetarium.
If you don't shape up, Chief Engineer Kamo will really yell at you!
Come on.
Hey, don't be so strict about it.
W-wait, let me find just one more!
This is the Remria 7.
The Remria 7?
That's the space station that's looking for underground resources from space.
That's right!
It's pretty cool how it can find things from so far away and tell what's underground!
Big Bro, what's that?!
A comet?
Prepare to attack!
Target ready!
Fire!
A comet-like object is approaching the Remria 7!
Contact them at once!
Look at the screen!
It combined with it!
Whatever, just contact them now!
Yes, sir!
Jinpei! Enlarge the image!
Roger!
This is the Spaceflight Agency! This is the Spaceflight Agency!
Remria 7! Remria 7, come in!
This is the Spaceflight Agency! Come in, Remria 7! Come in!
This is the Remria 7.
The comet-like object was just a bit of gas.
The Remria 7 is orbiting smoothly.
Looks like it was nothing, Big Bro.
Urgent message from Chief Nambu!
We just received information that says a suspicious group had landed on Polymia Island
According to the report from a fishing boat, it's highly possible that it's Egobossler's gang.
Egobossler?!
It doesn't look like an important operation, but still.
So why are they there?
Idiot, it's our job to go find that out!
Science Ninja Team, deploy!
Roger!
All right, search the perimeter so we can get the full picture!
If you see the enemy, don't engage.
Roger!
There you are, Science Ninja Team!
I don't understand.
What, not satisfied?
You saw they have plenty of soldiers and forces here.
It's more than enough to take over the island.
That's why it's so strange.
What's the point in taking an uninhabited island?
What do they want?
Are there resources nearby that they want?
Nope, none of that.
All that's around this island is a bunch of fish.
That's right. There aren't any subterranean resources Galactor could go after, either.
And they wouldn't come all this way just to catch some fish!
Could they be using this deserted island to build a new base?
They'd have to cut down this thick jungle, bring over troops, build a runway and a port...
Would they really undertake such a tedious task?
Ever since they lost Satanhofen,
they've been using crafty techniques to carry out plots in places where they have the advantage.
And if they wanted to construct a forward base, there are many other places that would be better.
Then why?
So you're saying they're purposely doing this for no reason?
This is Galactor we're talking about, there's no way they don't have a plan!
That's right.
But we can't figure out what that is.
Even though they're right in front of us...
What on Earth are they planning with this many soldiers?
Just a lizard tail...
The clouds don't look good. Maybe it's gonna rain.
Clouds hiding the moon...
A lizard tail...
That's it! It's a deception!
They're trying to distract us with Polymia Island!
Then just what are they doing?!
Wait!
The comet-like object was just a bit of gas.
The Remria 7 is orbiting smoothly.
Back then, could the Remria 7 have...
Nuclear missile set to launch.
All right!
Emergency transmission from the Remria 7!
Code 1 716, skyjacking!
What?!
Looks like you were right to worry.
Someone's on the Remria 7.
Galactor!
That's gotta be it.
Gatchaman, return to base at once.
The computer is calculating their plans right now.
But it might be too late by the time it finishes!
All right.
What's up, Ken?
Chief Engineer Kamo wants us to return at once.
The enemy just made us think they were going to attack here,
and now they're trying to do something horrific elsewhere!
All right, let's hurry back!
No, I'll be going by myself!
Wh-why?!
We can't let the enemy know we've discovered their real plan.
Else, things may take a turn for the worse.
For the worse?
I don't have time to explain the details.
It's a race against time!
All right, we'll hold the fort for you!
Thanks, Joe!
Right.
We looked into the important positions of the Remria 7's orbit,
and the place Galactor's going to attack...
is right here.
Th-that's...!
The ISO!
What? The ISO is going to be attacked within a half hour?
The Remria 7 will soon be in position to strike the ISO.
And the hijackers on board the Remria 7 have a high-powered nuclear missile they are trying to fire!
A high-powered nuclear missile?
Because there are hostages on board, we can't attack the Remria 7-
No! There's one way we can deal with it.
We can destroy the missile in the few seconds it's passing through the atmosphere.
Chief Engineer Kamo, please put a booster rocket on the G-1 mecha.
What?! That's crazy!
The booster rockets in Gatchaman Base are still being repaired!
Even if you're able to destroy the missile, I can't guarantee you'll survive!
I'm prepared for that.
If these calculations are correct, then more than half of the population of New York will die!
Please let me do it!
All right. It's up to you, Gatchaman.
Chief...
Chief Engineer Kamo, if you will.
Understood.
Nothing to report.
The Remria 7 is following its orbit without any deviation.
We'll be in position to fire upon New York as scheduled.
Eight minutes left.
Dammit! I don't know what this Gamma Plan is, but how dare he make fools of us?!
But they are direct orders from Leader Z!
I know! You don't have to tell me!
Sortie at once- and get Gatchaman's attention!
E-Egobossler!
Got it!
Me too!
All right, now it's our turn to distract them.
Don't let them know Ken's not here.
Scatter!
Roger!
Take this!
Two minutes until missile launch!
Setting coordinates!
One minute remaining!
Thirty seconds!
Ten!
Four! Three! Two! One!
Zero! Fire!
This is the end of the ISO!
Unidentified flying object heading our way, towards the missile!
What?!
Enlarge the image!
Yes, sir!
Gatchaman!
It can't be; they should be on Polymia Island!
We're counting on you, Gatchaman. Don't fail.
Now!
Yes! He saved New York!
Mission successful!
Thank you, Gatchaman.
Curse you, Gatchaman, for foiling my Gamma Plan!
Don't let him get away!
Damn! The booster!
Gatchaman, detach from the booster!
Follow your computer's instructions and run your engine at full power!
Roger!
Don't let him get away! You must kill him!
It looks like the Gamma Plan failed.
Yes. Leader Z was furious that we did not deceive Gatchaman.
I'm sorry, sir.
It's nothing to worry about.
This is what Leader Z gets for making light of me
and not telling me of Marstora's plan in the first place.
Now, send in the troops and kill those four members of Gatchaman
who have been giving us so much trouble!
Got it?
Yes, sir! If we get rid of Gatchaman, everything will be much simpler!
All right, lock on!
Roger!
Entering the atmosphere!
It's no use, he's entered the atmosphere!
We can't attack him now!
Damn you, Gatchaman!
Ruining my Gamma Plan!
You'll pay for this!
Your landing point is in the Atlantic Ocean, 24 degrees North 36 degrees West!
Send a recovery team to that point at once!
I repeat! Landing point is in the Atlantic Ocean, 24 degrees North 36 degrees West!
G-1 spotted!
G-1 parachute deployed!
Good work, Ken.
It looks like everyone's ready.
Science Ninja Team, mission complete!
Return to base at once!
Huh?!
Gramps, we can't be done!
That's right, we're just about to go!
Gatchaman has completed his mission and returned safely.
All of you must come back!
If you hear me, respond!
Oh, well. Ken got back all right.
Guess we should go make Gramps look good.
Everyone, return to base.
Roger!
Goodbye! Have fun playing with your tanks down there!
Damn you, Science Ninja Team!
You'll pay for this!
Gatchaman's intellect and courage put an end to the Gamma Plan.
But Galactor's evil spirit has not disappeared.
They are always looking for a chance to strike.
Go, warriors of peace, Gatchaman!
Track down Galactor!
Children suddenly attack the Tanzanian President, an envoy of peace.
Galactor is controlling them with super electromagnetic wave hypnosis!
Gatchaman investigates an amusement park to see if that is the source of the mystery,
but a terrible trap is waiting for them!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"The Evil of Mechaland"!
Look forward to it!
