A Promise Kept
Top oceanographer, Dr. Berry, directs a group of researchers in a study on ocean currents
aboard the ISO oceanographic observation ship, the Nelldeck.
The group is charting the Narvika Harbor of Norway,
with the goal of studying the harsh currents of the North Pole.
The ice is floating away.
Could it be an abnormal current?
No, I don't think so.
What is that?
It almost looks like a unicorn's horn. But it's gigantic!
It's coming towards us!
Oh no! Turn the ship!
Mayday! Mayday! A unicorn is-
This is the last transmission from the Nelldeck.
What did he mean by... unicorn?
If we're talking about the sea animal that's like a unicorn,
he must mean a narwhal with a big, long tusk.
Right.
There's an animal with that name in old legends and tales.
Something resembling that animal must have appeared and attacked the Nelldeck.
I hope the crew made it out safely.
Dr. Berry was damned irreplaceable.
But don't you think it's weird that all of a sudden this mythical creature appeared out of nowhere?
Something's happening at the North Pole.
Do you think Galactor has anything to do with this?
Hmm...Galactor may have previously discovered what Dr. Barry was up to.
We need to search the Narvika Harbor where the ship took anchor.
I'd like you to choose one of your members to do this.
I'll go!
You should leave a job like this to me.
Wait. I'm sure there will be Galactor spies lurking around the harbor.
We need to keep a low profile as well. It'll be an extremely dangerous mission.
Ryu? What's so funny?
Narvika is a harbor. This mission won't succeed unless it's done by a true seaman.
It has to be me!
Huh...?
I agree, Ryu is the most suitable.
I think you're right.
Ryu, we're counting on you!
Roger!
So... where would be a good place to start looking...
Where'd that little runt scurry off to?
Let's look on the other side!
It's all right. You can come out now.
It's okay, I'm not a bad guy.
See? I don't look scary, do I?
And I'm pretty strong! I can protect you from those guys back there.
What happened? Why were those guys chasing you? Did you pull a trick on them or something?
I'll walk you home. Where do you live?
Are you hungry? Need something to eat?
Wh-what's the matter?
Poor thing... you must have been really scared, huh.
Mommy and I came to look for Daddy here at the harbor,
and then those scary men started to chase us...
They don't seem like very good sailors, huh...
Mommy... she fell off the cliff into the sea...
And I ran away...
You poor thing... What's your name?
Lucy... I miss Daddy!
There, there. I'm sure we'll find your daddy soon!
I'll be your protector, okay? You don't have to be scared anymore.
My protector?
Yeah, your bodyguard.
I won't lose to anyone in a fight!
Thank you. Please stay with me until we find Daddy, okay?
Sure! Now cheer up, Lucy!
Up you go!
So what's your dad's name?
His name is Berry.
What? You don't mean Dr. Berry, do you?
Do you know my daddy?
Y-yeah, just his name! He's a famous researcher after all...
Daddy can't be dead... he must be out there somewhere,
and someday he'll come back to this harbor.
Poor girl... we don't know whether Dr. Berry is alive or dead.
She might really be alone in this world soon... I hope for her sake that Dr. Berry is out there.
Where did my bodyguard go?
Get out of the way!
How can a bunch of grown men gang up on one little girl? That's just sad!
What did you say? Out of our way!
Just let the poor girl go.
Come on Mr. Bodyguard, you can do it!
Are you gonna move or not?!
Nope. I'm not moving.
You son of a...!
You damn fool, thanks to you the little girl got away!
Just let me go... I couldn't watch her running away like that...
Shut up!
Bastard!
Sorry...
Give me a break...
God damn it...
Son of a...
Ow, ow, let me go...
Let me go...
Gimme a break already!
Liar... you're a weakling...
He's all talk, scum.
Wait! I'll do anything you say! Just let me go!
Huh... What can a coward like you do for us?
Heh! When it comes to ships I can do the work of ten men! I'm better than anyone else you have!
You might be just what the doctor ordered. There's something I need you to do...
Hey, we need you to repair this engine.
Is that all? Leave it to me!
Don't get too confident. Even the specialist in town said it was a lost cause.
We just got a call from headquarters. We have to get back right away.
Headquarters?
We're in trouble then... we don't even know if we can get the ship moving.
There's a huge storm brewing out there, too. Who knows if we'd be able to get through it either.
They said to hurry up and catch Berry's daughter too.
Damn it! So that bastard Berry still won't open his mouth.
We can't just disobey orders either... damn it all to hell.
Hey, it's working!
Hehe, piece of cake!
Why don't you guys hire me on?
I grew up with the sound of the waves as my lullaby.
There's no one better at handling a ship than me!
B-but, we can't just...
This is an emergency. Anyways, we can get rid of him whenever we want.
That's true. But still...
You two, stay behind and search for the girl.
Got it!
I hate you, Mr. Bodyguard!
I hate you!
He's good...
This will be the final test of his abilities.
No need to be scared.
Take the ship through that hatch.
The Uni-Mechan is yet another masterpiece, Your Excellency.
It's the perfect mecha for guarding the Arctic Ocean.
You can fawn over it later, Egobossler.
We need to decide on the construction site for the underwater base as soon as possible.
The Science Ninja Team will be on our tails soon enough.
But Dr. Berry still refuses to cooperate...
Use whatever means necessary. We must have Dr. Berry's cooperation.
He is the foremost authority on ocean currents,
and he must know the best place for us to build our underwater base.
Your Excellency, please give us some more time.
We are already working on a way to make Dr. Berry talk.
Fine. We need to begin construction before the ISO gets in our way.
Leave it to me...
Daddy... Daddy...
We finally captured you!
Dr. Berry, have you still not decided to cooperate with us?
My condolences for the loss of your wife...
Wh-what?!
It seems she fell right off a cliff.
And we have your daughter as well.
What? Lucy?
I'll bring her here to you soon. And when I do, like it or not you are going to cooperate with us.
Lucy...
Wow, this place is huge!
Get something to eat before you go back.
This is the kitchen. Just eat whatever you want.
Oh, looks like stew. Smells good...
You bastard!
Take that!
Ow! Hot, hot!
You son of a...!
Heh. Takes care of that!
It's Ryu. Ken, can you hear me?
Ryu! We've been worried!
Sorry, I've been inside Galactor's Iron Beast. Follow my bracelet's signal to the location!
All right. We're on our way!
Come on! Let's take the Gatcha Spartan!
Got it! Roger!
Take care of yourselves.
Ah, you finally caught her.
Lucy!
Mechandol is waiting. Let's go.
I'll be taking Lucy now!
Mr. Bodyguard!
So you made it out alive, huh? You're finished now, scum!
I had a feeling you guys were Wrestler Commandos!
Hurry, we need to run away!
Don't worry, Lucy!
You just stay right here, okay?
Mr. Bodyguard!
Come on!
Fool! Better watch that big head of yours!
You think you're so clever!
Take that!
You were actually strong all along!
Yep! That's why I said I'd be your bodyguard!
Your daddy has to be in here somewhere. Let's go find him!
Yeah!
Take that!
If someone's standing guard outside...
What was that?
Daddy!
Lucy!
Daddy!
Lucy!
Hey, there's a man down here too!
Check the prison cell!
We need to get out of here, now!
We'll escape in this!
What?! Berry's escaped?
Yes, Sir. Someone helped him get away!
Damn it! Chase them down immediately! You'd better catch them!
Yes, sir!
Damn it!
Wh-what was that?!
Isn't that...!
Dr. Berry, we'll take it from here! You two just get away while you can!
Wait, are you...?
Bird Go!
Daddy, my bodyguard is one of the Science Ninja Team guys!
So it seems!
Ryu seems a little different today...
I like it!
Ryu, take it from here!
Leave it to me!
The Gatcha Spartan just isn't the same without Ryu!
Shucks, you'll make me blush.
Ryu! Let's try diving in close!
I'll try!
It's no use. We can't get close enough!
I'll use the Hyper Shot!
Delta Power Up!
Gatchaman Fencer!
Science Ninja Technique: Hyper Shot!
Damn it...
Thank you, Mr. Bodyguard!
Lucy... I wish I had a little sister like you.
Lucy's smiling face lingered cheerfully in Ryu's heart.
In order to protect that smile and so many others,
he must do his best to keep the Earth from falling into Galactor's hands.
Fight on, Science Ninja Team, for the Earth's future!
The ISO pools all of their resources in order to uncover the Space Pulse mystery.
When Egobossler finds out that Chief Nambu will be meeting
with astrophysicist, Dr. Schubert, he cooks up a scheme.
What exactly is he plotting for Chief Nambu?
Next time on Gatchaman Fighter:
"Egobossler's Strategy"!
Look forward to it!
