This is Headquarters.

Third Combat Helicopter unit, do you read me?

This is Headquarters...

I'm alive again!

All instruments are working fine.

Countdown start.

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four,

Ignite the main engine!

three, two, one, zero!

The suit costs nine hundred fifty thousand yen!

One hundred thousand yen for the shoes!

The hat is one hundred fifty thousand!

And the scarf costs fifty thousand!

Plus seventeen percent sales tax

for a total of one million four hundred sixty thousand yen!

Well, they are Herbes!

If I use up this money...

All right!

May I help you?

I'll have the Herbes scarf in the window!

Yes?

I'll pay with cash!

Count them very carefully! I know there are enough coins!

Thank you very much!

Ta-da!

A Herbes scarf is so soft next to your skin, as I expected!

But now I don't even have money to buy instant ramen.

There's twenty-nine more days till my next paycheck.

How can I survive?

Is it?

Help sent from Heaven!

Slam Tank

This is a strictly confidential mission.

The United Nations requested us through the Chief.

You will escort a VIP from Japan to Switzerland.

And they want us to do this very quietly.

The United Nations will provide us planes

for both transport and escort.

Yuji will be the pilot of the escort plane.

Right!

Also on the escort plane will be Maya, as gunner.

Leave it to me!

And the one who will get on the transport plane with the VIP is...

Rio, it's you.

All right!

Lilica and Nanvel will stay here and back you up.

We'll be left behind.

That's okay.

Well, don't worry and leave everything to me!

So, what kind of man is the VIP? Is he rich?

He is very influential to the military balance of the world.

People call him Henry.

He's very square!

The special transport plane has safely taken off!

The escort plane needs an air-to-air refueling over India.

It's going to take about thirteen hours to get to Switzerland.

The estimated arrival time is about 1 AM tomorrow, Japan time.

Rio will be bored to death.

No problem. I already did something about that.

Lunch Box

Maki certainly knows me well!

Lunch boxes are your best friends when you have a long trip!

Quick, drink this!

Are you all right?

Do you need another glass of water?

We have a 23mm GSH-27L double-machinegun!

Four AAA-9 Arvid Short Distance AAMXs!

Plus two each of AAA-7 Arvex Semi-active Radar Homing

Long Distance AAM and AAA-7 Arvex Infrared Homing Long Distant AAM!

Wanna shoot!

Wanna shoot! Wanna shoot!

Wanna SHOOT!

Calm down, Maya.

Rio's on that plane, you know.

Well, Rio wouldn't die even if I shot the plane!

Oh, don't! Idiot! Stop it!

What the hell are you thinking?

Very tasty!

I'm glad to hear that!

Go ahead and eat this one too, if you like!

Really? Is it okay?

Sure!

He isn't square at all!

He doesn't look like someone who is influential

to the military balance of the world at all!

Is there something?

Oh, no, nothing.

I was just thinking that it's such an honor for me

to be able to escort a super VIP like you, Mr. Henry!

I'm not Henry.

He's having a rest in the next room.

Give me back my box lunch!

My fried shrimp's gone!

I wanted to save it for last!

Well, would you like to have a cup of tea in the next room?

I'll introduce you to Henry.

Really? Lucky!

Hey, what kind of girls does Mr. Henry like?

I'm sure he has his preferences.

Well, some men like high school girl types,

and others like mature women, or refined women, and so on.

Oh, you should ask him that directly.

We've reached Point D7 at the scheduled time.

Roger.

It's about time for the rendezvous.

This is Henry.

You mean this tank is the square VIP?

Yes, it is.

All Terrain AI Strategic Tank.

We call it Henry.

The United Nations built this state-of-the-art computer tank,

using the most cutting-edge science.

Its firing power, speed and defense capabilities

are several hundred times as much as any existing tank.

It can be very efficient in the water.

It also has a hover function and a high-grade stealth function!

Wow! It's made of stainless steel.

You don't have to worry about rust, then.

No, he's not a kitchen sink! I said "stealth"!

Considering the military balance,

the UN had thirty-four countries develop different parts,

so that no single country would be able to build a whole tank.

They assembled the parts, checked all functions,

and installed the basic strategic program in Japan.

Henry has the newest artificial intelligence

and is capable of analyzing the situation

and deciding on the best response.

Henry is more powerful than ten army divisions.

How much sugar do you like?

Oh, right.

One and a half spoonfuls, please.

Thank you.

What? The transport plane is going off course.

It's shifting in the direction of Desania.

There are rising tensions in Desania these days, right?

Yeah, this is no good.

This is the escort plane.

Please check your course.

I repeat. Please check your course. Do you read me?

There's no response.

That's strange...

Incoming missile!

What the hell?

An unidentified plane fired a missile at our escort plane!

Two seconds to impact! One!

Evaded!

It's too early to feel relieved!

Lilica, get Yuji and tell him

that their objective is the transport plane and Henry!

Nanvel, get Rio on the transport plane.

Then request reinforcements from the nearest UN unit!

This is Lilica. Do you read me, Yuji?

This is Nanvel! Do you read me, Rio?

Rio! Rio!

An ambush from low altitude

to avoid radar.

Their target is the transport plane. Stay with it!

Impossible!

Did they know our flight plan?

Rio, do you read me? Rio!

The pilots are in on it too!

This doesn't look very good.

Maybe we should surrender.

It's no use. They're professionals!

If we surrender, they'll just take the tank

and throw us into the sky!

One down!

Nobody can fire homing missiles because of the transport plane.

Oh, damn!

It went behind the transport plane!

I can't shoot it!

Damn! The other one came up behind us!

I won't let you escape!

What?!

Gotcha!

She shot one down!

Good!

There is one more left.

Okay?! Just shoot like crazy at my signal!

But...

You'll be fine. Ready!

Go!

This is the end of the game.

What the hell?

Rio!

Rio! Rio!

It can't be...

Answer me, Rio! Rio!

The signal of the transport plane is fading...

Rio...

What is this?

It could be the Desanian military who attacked us to steal Henry.

Please get him out of this country as soon as possible.

If they get Henry, it will be terrible.

I got it.

If they reach Henry, use this.

This?

When you open it, you'll find two buttons inside.

If you push those buttons at the same time

within twenty meters of Henry, it will self-destruct.

Please take care of Henry...

Wait! Wait a minute! You must be kidding me.

You don't just leave a weak girl alone in the middle of the desert!

Besides, how can I carry this alone?

I don't know what to do with a tank!

Hey!

After much consideration, I decided this is the best thing.

Because I don't know how to operate you.

And I can't leave you here like this either.

I want you to understand.

I really don't want to do this.

Please accept this as your fate, and...

Self-destruct here.

I'm sorry!

What is that tank doing?

Well, I...

Go away!

I'll push these buttons!

I see. I think you know how this watch works.

This is easy then.

All right, listen to me carefully!

I'll take you to the border safely.

Don't misunderstand!

I'm doing this only because I won't get any reward

unless I complete my mission of escorting you.

This will be strictly business.

If you become uncontrollable or are captured by the enemy,

I won't hesitate to push those buttons, understand?

After all, this is a harsh world!

Make sure to follow me. Let's go!

In the Northern Ramur Desert, we found the remains of the plane,

but not the target tank, not even any parts.

What do you mean? Why couldn't you find it?

I don't know.

Find it, all right?

You owe me an explanation.

The plane somehow crashed, and we didn't find any tank!

Have I ever given you incorrect information, General?

But we've lost three agents and three fighters.

You always have to expect the unexpected in war.

Anyway, General, the harder something is to obtain,

the more exciting the chase.

And you will be happiest, when you actually have it in your hand.

The tank will be your best toy.

I'll guarantee it.

I see.

What is it?

I found the video recorder.

There's a strange woman in the video.

A woman? Send it here.

Who is this woman?

She's from Police Town! But why here?

What's going on? Why is the tank moving?

I don't know.

But I can see a bug is sticking to the tank for sure.

Where does this desert end?

They should have at least made a convenience store or something!

What is the quickest way to cross Desania

and get safely to the Republic of Saragia?

Go north north-west...

A hundred and fifty kilometers!

I know there's no other choice, but...

That's hot! Don't get so close to me!

Good, that is good.

Ah, I'm so sweaty! This is no joke, really.

It's so hot as it is, and...

Look at my expensive Herbes scarf!

I should have left it at home!

Damn it!

What? What?!

You dare to attack me?! If you act like this, I'll...

A land mine?

What happened to my Herbes?

What did you do?

I spent all of my money to buy this!

Give me my money back! Gimme!

We confirmed a large heat reading

at the Point NW-010 Minefield in the Ramur Desert.

We suspect this is the tank.

Send the nearest tank division there!

Yes, Sir!

Excellent, General, you're quick to act.

Leave it to me.

Once we know its location, it is practically ours!

I'm glad I can count on you.

I can't walk anymore! What should I do now?

Look, this scarf is worth a month of ramen, and you ruined it!

What? What is that sound?

What are those?

The target is in range. Distance is five thousand!

Good! All tanks will fire a warning shot

fifty meters in front of the target.

We'll see how it reacts. Be careful not to hit it directly!

Roger!

Fire!

The tank unit has started firing!

Make sure to capture it without damaging it!

What?

Emergency! Emergency! Thunders has changed orbit!

Thunders has denied access! I'll connect you to the emergency line!

Thunders moved into second degree fighting mode.

All access was denied. We'll set it to self-destruct.

Thunders won't correct its orbit.

Self-destruct mode also denied.

Thunders has shut out all outside access.

No reaction from the target!

Fire warning shots again!

Why are you spaced out like this? Counterattack quickly!

I said counterattack! You're so useless!

You have such a big body, but no brain, idiot!

The target tank is not reacting or counterattacking at all.

What does that mean?

I don't know!

Why don't you try shooting closer to it?

What? But it could damage the tank!

It's going to be fine, General. Please give it a try.

Stop being silly!

How long are you going to stay like this without doing anything?

Prepare to fire near misses!

Don't hit the target directly!

We want to capture it without any damage!

Fire!

I won't die in vain in such a barren place!

If you want to die in vain, do it alone!

What?

This is such an intense counterattack!

Our tank's armor can't hold any longer.

We're...

Completely defeated?

The whole division was destroyed by one tank?

You see why you should obtain it, General.

Once you have it in your hands, you won't care about that division.

But how can we capture such a monster?

I have an idea.

You destroyed all the enemy tanks in one second.

You are truly out of this world!

No wonder everyone wants you.

But...

How come you didn't counterattack with that capability sooner?

I almost died, stupid tank! Do you hear me?

Rio is alive? Oh, thank God!

My Rio!

Is Rio alive?

Lilica and Nanvel succeeded in hacking a Desanian satellite.

Rio is alive.

She's heading to the border between Desania and Saragia with the tank.

But the danger is not over yet.

They still have one hundred kilometers of desert ahead of them.

We have to cover their escape somehow!

You are so noisy. Be quiet...

Oh, no!

I forgot to set the timer to record today's "Three-legged Race of Love"!

Kasumi is supposed to dump Shinichiro today.

I'm hungry! What are we going to eat for lunch?

I want to eat Matsumotoya's Special Fried Pork with Cheese Lunchbox!

I want a Tropical Waffle from Café Wild Grape for dessert.

Let's go to lunch!

Where are we going, Maki?

I'll have roast pork ramen without scallions,

with flavored egg and natto.

Slam Tank Part II

Is it still continuing?

By the way, we haven't seen Rio for a while, have we?
