Runaway! The Great Train Chase
Chief Nambu draws closer to the secrets of the Space Pulse,
the key to unraveling the mystery of Leader Z's existence.
He chose Dr. Stahl, a world-famous authority on space energy,
to be the leader of a group of scientists assigned to research it.
However, Dr. Stahl is forced to make a trip back to his home country, Degris,
when his son is injured in a car accident.
Wh-what is this...?
You're Dr. Stahl, aren't you?
N-no! I'm...!
Deeply concerned by the present circumstances, Chief Nambu dispatches emergency defense troops
and requests immediate assistance from the Science Ninja Team.
However, despite search efforts by land and by air, Dr. Stahl's whereabouts remain a mystery.
A number of other prominent space energy scientists
go missing as well.
Later the next day, we find Dr. Brown and Dr. Joyce...
Are you...?
Dr. Stahl!
You... look a lot like my colleagues, Dr. Brown and Dr. Joyce.
These damn ropes!
Who... are you?
I'm the Science Ninja Team's G-2, Joe the Condor.
And I'm G-1, Ken the Eagle.
The Science Ninja Team?
Dr. Stahl, your son was not in a car accident!
Are you sure of this?
That was a trap set by Galactor.
What a cowardly scheme!
Leader Z must have wanted to capture you and the other scientists by any possible means.
To disrupt our Space Pulse research.
That, and I'm sure he wants to see how far along in that research you are.
We didn't think we'd find you so quickly!
We'll escape once we're on the other side of this tunnel!
That's impossible! This train has been moving underground this whole time!
What?!
Jeez, this train is fast! But wait... the engine is over here! Are we heading in the opposite direction?
Whoa! I've never seen this model before!
Just as Gatchaman suspected, Leader Z had ordered Count Egobossler
to kidnap Dr. Stahl and the others to disrupt their research on the Space Pulse.
However, Leader Z told Egobossler nothing of the connection
between the Space Pulse and his mysterious existence.
You called for me?
Yes. Leader Z said to confirm Dr. Stahl's location.
Right away, Sir!
Hmph. Still sleeping like a baby!
Where exactly are you taking us?!
To Gallatown!
Gallatown?
The Galactor Family's underground headquarters!
So the train will take this underground tunnel all the way there?
Exactly! And since none of you are likely to see the light of day ever again, I'll tell you this...
This underground railroad connects Gallatown to the rest of the world!
The entire world?!
What do you think? Are you surprised by our scientific genius?
What are your orders, Leader Z?
You must hand Dr. Stahl over to me. There's something I need to investigate at once!
If we stay on this train we'll end up at Galactor's headquarters.
Right. But what about Dr. Stahl and the others?
Don't worry about us. We'll gladly assist you in any way we can!
I can't let you do that. You're all very important people!
Joe, you should take them back!
No way, Ken! Not when we've got a chance to see Gallatown!
I know! Why don't we call Ryu and the others to pick up the scientists?
All right.
Science Ninja Team.
Science Ninja Team, respond!
Science Ninja Team!
It's no use. I can't get through. This train must be pretty deep underground.
Damn it. Fine, I'll take the scientists.
All right. Transform into your Bird Gear and let's move the scientists to the last car.
We can uncouple it from the rest of the train!
Gatchaman!
Mechandol! Uncouple Dr. Stahl's car!
What?! Wh-why...
Imbecile! Gatchaman is on the train!
Let them all burn in the magma's flames!
They must have seen us with that camera!
Have you heard any news from Ken and Joe yet?
Nothing... their radar was responding until they reached a switchyard in Holland, but now...
We set up our bracelets so that we could communicate with each other,
but if theirs aren't working, then...
Joe, Ken... where are you and what's going on?
Chief!
Commence a search operation, starting with the place you last saw them on radar.
Roger!
How do you like that, Gatchaman? How does it feel to be riding on the express train to hell's magma?
Sir! Won't Leader Z be furious if you don't hand over Dr. Stahl?
I don't care.
But...!
I'd have to be an idiot to let a chance go by to destroy Gatchaman once and for all.
Defeating them is my number one priority.
Th-this train is headed straight for a pool of magma!
I don't want to die!
Quit pushing!
Who are you?
My name's Mac. I'm pretty well-known in the train enthusiast crowd.
Are you guys part of the Science Ninja Team?
That's right.
Man, today's my lucky day. Pops used to talk about you guys all the time.
Pops?
He used to be a great train driver!
He took supplies to the UN troops and transported refugees during the African war.
He died in battle though...
But he always used to talk about how he fought alongside the Science Ninja Team.
He was very proud.
Mac, I'd love to hear more of your story later.
Right now we just need to stop this train!
Gatchaman! There's a steam locomotive at the back of this train.
You could use the brakes in the engine room!
All right. Let's go!
Gatchaman! Turn that crank in reverse!
Got it!
We're not gonna make it!
Dammit... Here goes!
Yeah!
We're saved!
You sure don't make it easy.
Damn it, Gatchaman! I almost had you!
Units 7 and 8! Take the special military train to point 4.6 immediately!
Destroy Gatchaman!
Mac, can you drive this thing?
Watch, I'll show you what my pops taught me!
Those bastards are here already!
Joe! Aim for the ceiling over there!
Idiot slugs, get a move on!
Yes, Sir! I'll send in the next unit now.
Don't bother. Get them all above-ground!
What? Are you sure you want to let them go like this?
It's fine. I have a plan. Just open up the exit!
Yes, Sir!
Isn't that...?
Those Galactor bastards! What do they have up their sleeves now?
Whoa! We're back above-ground!
Thank goodness! We made it!
Don't start celebrating yet!
There's no way Galactor would let us escape so easily.
Gatchaman! Look over there!
Bingo. I knew they'd do something like this!
Ryu! I just received a signal from Ken and Joe on my bracelet!
The signal is...
200 km straight ahead!
Engine, full throttle! Full speed ahead!
It's one of Galactor's Iron Beasts!
Gatchaman, what do we do?
There's not enough time. We've just gotta try to get past it as fast as we can!
Damn it! You think I won't put up a fight?
Damn. We're finished...
Took you long enough.
All right. Come on, Joe!
You can do it, Gatchaman!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
You can do it, Gatchaman! I'm right behind you!
Science Ninja Technique: Hyper Shot!
Yeah!
Damn it...
Kempler!
Order the men to demolish the underground rail tunnels that Gatchaman has seen!
Yes, Sir!
So we know that Galactor has set up an underground rail network all around the world.
And that somewhere underground is where they built their headquarters, Gallatown.
Plus, we managed to get Dr. Stahl and the others back safe and sound.
We have you to thank for that, Mac!
Aw man... we even defeated one of Pops' enemies.
You know, my pops said that any Galactor
who can just blow up a train or a railroad with the blink of his eye should never be forgiven.
I'm gonna become a great train driver, just like my Pops!
I promised Pops I would ride every train in the world to learn all there is to know!
Mac, I know you'll become a great train driver.
Maybe even the greatest train driver in the world.
Goodbye!
Gatchaman saw a piece of their own childhood dreams in Mac,
and they made another promise of their own: To work hard to bring peace back to the world
as quickly as possible and help make Mac's dream come true.
Continue the fight towards Gallatown, Science Ninja Team!
Engineer Kamo brusquely turns away his grandson, Shoichi, who has come to visit him.
His heart trembles.
But now, grasping the true nature of the Space Pulse is more vital than ever!
