The Creeping Alien
You underestimated them, Marstora!
They defeated you so easily, I can't make you Leader of Galactor!
Wh-what?! You're taking his side?
No one is taking sides.
Weaklings will be shunned, after all. That is the way of war.
If you'd just let me explain!
Allow me to command the next mission, Your Excellency.
P-please! Give me one more chance, please!
Does he have no shame? Begging for pity...
I place all authority for this mission on Marstora.
N-nonsense!
Marstora, you once served Leader X and now you pledge your loyalty to me,
the last of my veteran soldiers.
You must fulfill this mission, for the honor of Galactor!
Yes, Sir! I stake my life on the success of this mission!
Your Excellency! Why would you reward such a worthless...
He will never betray me. Egobossler, obedience is another virtue in good soldiers.
I can't let this continue!
Hello, my sweet. Now that I've got you back from Mars, taking over New York will be a breeze!
Now, gather your strength. Become stronger...!
Me first!
Hey, I'm thirsty too, you know!
First come first serve!
Fine then!
Watch out! Coming through!
Aw man...
You snooze you lose. I'll just take my winnings now.
Big Sis!
Huh?
I think this guy's dead!
Marstora's strange extraterrestrial life-form continued its attacks.
Not just in people's homes, but in shopping malls, parks, playgrounds, and factories.
Even hospitals weren't immune to the suffering.
The death toll quickly rose to over 1000.
The cause of death appears to be suffocation.
Do you think Galactor has a hand in this?
It seems so...
but there's no sign of a large-scale infiltration yet.
Then how are they doing it?!
It's not like they're keeping some homicidal demon as a pet.
Considering the method of attack, though, it is a possibility.
But we have no idea where this enemy comes from or where it goes!
What?! More victims at Riverside Park?
Let's go. We might be able to find some clues.
Got it.
Can I help you with anything?
What's your name?
I'm Robert. I live near here.
We appreciate the offer, but this is our job.
I see.
Hey, you almost gave me a heart attack!
Sorry I surprised you, guys!
Hey! I just saw something weird!
Hyaa!
Yeah!
Are you all right?
Thanks. You were great back there.
Hold on, kid!
I just... feel a little dizzy.
So you exterminated the creature. That's great news.
What did you do with the remains?
It shrunk and disappeared within seconds, so...
So it's gone now.
Yes.
What were you thinking?
I was hoping to learn more about the life-form.
I still remember its shape and color. I can describe it to you now.
No, just write it in your report.
By the way, what happened to the boy?
Jun and Jinpei took him to the hospital.
Chief!
What is it?
More victims have been found!
They're spread all throughout the region, just as we feared.
This time we have an eyewitness.
The life-form appears to be made up of a strange, mucus-like substance.
It's the same!
Then there are still other creatures out there!
When the townspeople shot at it, it shrunk and disappeared right before their eyes!
If it has the ability to expand and contract, it may still be alive after all!
We need to fortify New York's defenses.
I want you on patrol as well!
Yes, Sir.
Something strange just came out of the water faucet!
Joe!
Joe, wait!
Chief! If these creatures have infiltrated the water pipes...
Shut down the city's water supply!
Yes, Sir!
Joe... Ryu!
Look!
So this is where they entered the water supply.
Damn it!
If this is the entrance, then the exit must be...
...the dam!
Chief!
All right. We need to secure defenses at the water purification plant, then shut the dam's gates ASAP.
Understood.
We have the entrance and the exit blocked now. All that's left is to figure out how to corner it.
Aren't they awesome? My dad bought them for me!
It's cool how they can get themselves back up after they fall.
There's no on/off switch!
That's because...
This one is the boss robot!
Boss robot?
It hurts...!
According to this X-ray, there's a strange life-form living in Robert's bloodstream.
That's when it happened...
Can you remove it with surgery?
I'm sure you're aware of the fact that the city's water supply is down,
and I've already used up my emergency supply.
But at this rate, Robert will...!
The ISO is researching a cure as we speak.
Robert...
That's enough.
Have you found a cure?
Then what about Robert?
Chief!
These cells don't have nuclei!
So this goop is what's inside Robert's blood?
Hmm... It seems impossible to me that a creature can exist without nuclei in its cells.
Even protozoan amoebas had nuclei... It's impossible.
A creature without nuclei in its cells?
It seems that surgery is our only option after all.
But the water!
I'm positive the Science Ninja Team will exterminate the creature soon.
Nurse, prepare the room so that we can begin the operation at any moment!
Yes, Doctor.
We'll have the UN troops blow a gust of hot air
into the entrance to the water pipe at the purification plant.
A gust of hot air?
That's right.
When you hit one of the creatures with your feather shuriken at Riverside Park, it fled.
I see. So you have a feeling they might be weak against heat.
The life-forms will be heading through the pipe towards the dam.
We'll wait there and destroy them all at once!
All right, blow the hot air in!
Your intuition was dead-on, Ken. They're running away from the heat.
Don't let them get away! We need to ambush them!
Follow them!
What the hell?!
We can't destroy them all at once. There're too many!
A creature without nuclei...
There's no on/off switch!
That's because...
This one is the boss robot!
That's it! We just need to attack the boss creature!
Ken!
They all look really similar, but I think one of them must be the leader! If we can destroy that one...
That's brilliant, Jinpei! Let's split up and look for it!
Doctor, the water supply is back up!
Gotcha! This one has a nucleus!
Unite, Gatcha Spartan!
Gatcha Spartan combination complete!
Damn it! This one's the boss!
If we don't destroy it we won't be able to save Robert or the rest of the city!
Come on, guys!
We've got to draw it towards us!
Shut down the engine!
Roger!
Now! Power up!
Engine, full throttle!
Raise the temperature in here!
That's it!
What a breeze!
Don't count your eggs before they hatch, Gatchaman! Behold!
Wh-what is that?!
Spartan Laser Blast!
Now!
Come on!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
Science Ninja Technique: Hyper Shot!
We did it!
Robert!
Hey! What's the matter with you?
My sweet! Hey! Wake up!
How did they defeat me...
Gatchaman is coming this way!
Wh-what?!
We need reinforcements! Gallatown, please respond!
Marstora, what happened to all that confidence you had before the fight?
We're ready to go, Sir!
There will be no need for reinforcements.
Gallatown, please respond!
Send reinforcements immediately!
We're being pursued by Gatchaman! Please!
So long, Marstora.
Your days are over.
The strange life-form was exterminated by Gatchaman.
Meanwhile, Egobossler watched his rival, Marstora, die,
single-handedly taking back all of Galactor's power for himself.
Dr. Stahl, the world-famous authority on space energy, has been kidnapped by Galactor!
Ken and Joe plot a rescue mission which involves escaping by train!
A fierce battle arises with the Galactor agents that
pursue them in the underground railroad's deepest depths!
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Runaway! The Great Train Chase"!
Look forward to it!
