It was waiting for this miracle

009

You've got the chance to express you

Here comes the imagination

Time, place

Truth and lies

Joy and sorrow

Kindness, hateness

Happiness, sadness

Smile, tears, friendship

Alone, together, birth

Death, sleep, fight

Space and oneself

In that promised place

I feel it once again

The spreading of a dream that's come true

I start running today too

Yomi, The Underground Empire Arc Part 3

Episode 45: Goodbye, Dolphin

Move!

Dammit! Are you ready?

This will be the Pwa Wurkers' first step to freedom!

Yeah!

What are you Pwa Wurker scum plotting?

Why can't you understand that defying your Zathanian overlords is useless?!

Dammit!

Now, you're going to pay for your crime with your own hand.

What?!

What are they?!

Bastards!

It's the Darg! Don't go near them!

For now, retreat!

Oppressed Pwa Wurkers! The Zathanian rule is over!

You are all released!

What were we doing?

I repeat, you're all released!

If you serve us, we will give you a future!

We are Black Ghost!

We released all of you!

Black Ghost? We're free?!

Yes! Black Ghost is our savior!

As a symbol of the shining future for the Pwa Wurkers and Black Ghost,

we shall build the Demon!

Help us in this endeavor!

I promise you, through freedom, you shall have peace!

This underground empire, Yomi, will become yours!

Long live Black Ghost!

The underground empire, Yomi?

That's a wild story!

But it does explain those giant creatures.

That's right.

Those beasts don't inhabit the surface, but I can imagine them

in the depths of the Earth, evolving in unigue ways.

So you and Helen are these Pwa Wurkers?

My name is Vena.

I'm Helen's younger sister.

Younger sister?

Yes, that's right.

My sister just has amnesia due to a hypnotic suggestion.

It was so she could approach you.

So you are the one who told Black Ghost our whereabouts, huh?

My sister didn't do anything!

Pwa Wurker siblings have a strong telepathic bond.

While she was under the hypnotic spell, I could see everything she saw

and felt everything she felt.

In other words, Helen's role was a surveillance camera.

Yes.

What?!

009, I'm sorry! I...

It's okay. You didn't know.

You have no reason to apologize.

So it was you, huh, Vena?

You went out of your way to come here and tell us how the trick was done?

I came here thinking I could help you!

Help you defeat Black Ghost!

Why would you want to defeat Black Ghost?

In the end, Black Ghost is no different than the Zathanians!

They only think of us Pwa Wurkers as tools!

Vogt was fine with letting Helen die, if it meant you people would be wiped out!

Please wait, Vogt-sama!

Let Helen escape before you attack!

Give it up!

The death of one or two Pwa Wurkers means nothing to me

compared to exterminating the 00 cyborgs.

Vogt-sama!

That's Black Ghost for you.

That's how casually cruel they are.

We knew it, but didn't have any choice but to obey Black Ghost.

We had to.

Right now their headquarters are in Yomi.

If you're serious about defeating Black Ghost, I'll take you to Yomi.

Black Ghost's headquarters...

What should we do?

We couldn't ask for anything more than a shot to strike their stronghold, but...

This could be another one of their traps.

As soon as we set foot in the underground empire, hordes ambush us and boom!

It's just the opposite!

Helen and I have three more sisters, all on Vogt's side.

Vogt is the one who was monitoring your movements.

Three more of you?!

Hub, five sisters. Must be a lively family.

So even as we speak, your other sisters are passing along the info.

You're the one who had the least amount of trust in Helen, aren't you?

I see. It's all being leaked, huh?

Even if my sisters are picking up the information, they would never betray us!

They feel the same way I do!

You may be the only one who thinks that way!

I'm not!

You're wrong!

004, cut it out!

Being that suspicious of them will get us nowhere!

Again you're trusting unconditionally.

009, didn't you learn your lesson with Helen?!

This isn't about believing someone or not!

Whether Vena's story is the truth or a lie,

it doesn't change the fact that we're going to fight Black Ghost!

Well, yeah...

So I think we should take a gamble on the possibility,

however small, of attacking their citadel!

009...

I'm sure you all feel it too!

In terms of time and firepower, we don't have the leeway

to keep fighting randomly like this!

These are obviously artificial creatures!

United Nations Building, New York

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the next world war breaks out.

009's right.

If we hold back out of fear, we'll miss our chance.

So we'll take the underground empire by storm, huh?

Yeah. And just entrust our fate to God.

I guess it's not a bad idea.

I never thought we'd be lectured by you.

It wasn't a lecture.

I just... I want to destroy Black Ghost.

I want to stop the fighting.

Joe...

I'm sure it will end.

Our era of darkness too.

That's right. If we don't put an end to it...

...we Pwa Wurkers won't have a future.

Right.

But I'm scared.

Let's not do this this after all.

I mean, betraying Black Ghost...

Daphne...

What's Vena's status?

Has she tricked the 00 cyborgs into accepting her?

Yes. And Helen is safe too.

I don't care about Helen.

She's served her purpose.

Don't lose contact with Vena.

Alert me as soon as the cyborgs make a move.

Yes, sir.

You see?

Even if we obey Black Ghost, that doesn't change anything.

But...

It'll be okay.

Muster up courage, Daphne!

We have to do this, for the sake of the Pwa Wurkers' future.

You're communicating with your siblings?

You really don't trust me, do you?

My motto is you can never be too careful.

Goodnight.

My motto is too much caution is just cowardice.

Yeah, I am a coward.

Particularly when the lives of my friends are on the line.

Where is everyone?

We're leaving early tomorrow morning.

Everyone's relaxing while they can.

I see.

It probably will be a tough battle...

Yes.

But every last one of you is indispensable.

Every single one of you!

I know, Doctor.

There, it's ready.

This is a glum last supper.

It's good.

We won't be able to eat fish in the bowels of the Earth.

Enjoy it while you can.

You may be right.

A shooting star.

Did you wish for something?

No, I didn't.

I don't know why.

Maybe I should have wished for peace.

I feel like it would be strange wishing for something

when we're about to head into battle.

Then we can at least wish that this battle ends with everyone safe.

The next shooting star...

That would be okay, wouldn't it?

You're right.

Hot!

About 300 km west of this area is a submarine volcano.

Apparently the entrance to the underground empire is near its crater.

There's only one route?

Yes.

All right! Let's go!

Dolphin moving out!

Our sisters left.

Yes.

The water temperature is higher here.

Proof that we're near the volcano.

We should be able to see the crater soon.

006, get the Mole ready to move out.

Enemies ahead!

What?!

What is it?!

Missiles approaching!

Can we launch a decoy?!

Not enough time!

Prepare for impact!

Why are there so many?!

An ambush?!

Then it is you...

Wrong!

Vena...

It wasn't me!

If it wasn't you, then who...

Anyway, return fire!

Hey, we're surrounded!

Can't we do something?!

There are too many of them!

Diana, Aphro, Daphne, what is this?!

We're under attack!

Vogt knows what we're doing!

What?!

We thought you were moving out tomorrow!

How could this happen?!

We can't defy Black Ghost!

The sub-engine got hit!

The energy accumulator is damaged.

How far are they gonna go?!

There's a hole in the hull! We're flooding!

I'm making us watertight!

Multiple Cyborg Men are approaching from behind the missile sharks!

They mean to come on board through the damaged hull!

What?!

Close combat, huh?

Fine with me!

That's as far as you go!

Dammit!

You'll destroy the Dolphin!

I don't have a choice!

What the...?!

This is no normal impact!

The engine room was hit!

At this rate, the energy accumulator will blow up!

The Dolphin will sink.

What?!

It can't be?!

No way...

The Dolphin's going to sink?!

Dolphin's gonna sink?!

I can't believe it.

What do we do?!

We escape!

Everyone get into the Mole!

You two also, hurry!

Freeze!

004! We have to hurry or we'll miss our ride on the Mole!

This way!

Give up already, 008!

Dammit!

Hurry! There's no time!

Is everybody aboard?

009 and 003 aren't.

They'd better hurry! I'm getting ready to take off!

Huh?

What's wrong?

It's bad! The release system won't start!

Can't you do something about it?!

There's an emergency manual lever outside.

But that'll drop us from the ship right away.

Hey, wait!

What do you intend to do?!

Don't worry about me, just go!

Is everyone here?!

Vena went to...

She went out there to start the release system manually.

004 went after her.

What?!

Move!

I'll do it!

I'm not moving!

How stubborn can you be?!

Get back in here, 004! Vena!

It's dangerous, 009!

004! Vena!

Let it go, 009!

If somebody doesn't do it, we're not going anywhere!

But...

All we can do now is leave it to 004 and have faith!

I-It released us!

004! Vena!

Sheesh. Thanks to you, we got left behind.

I'm sure you can escape, can't you?

Never mind me. Why don't you catch up to them?

This ship is going to explode any second now.

Take a deep breath!

Talk about your high-maintenance women.

You're too reckless.

Now do you trust me?

Why did you go this far?

Aren't you afraid to die?

We Pwa Wurkers always struggled with that fear.

Because we were just food to the Zathanians.

Food?!

That's right. The Zathanians even changed the bodies of the Pwa Wurkers

so we would always give birth to multiple children at one time,

increasing production of the food supply.

At first we were happy when Black Ghost showed up.

After all, they saved us from the Zathanians.

But we want true freedom, without being ruled over by anyone.

That's why I...

Vena...

That's a heartbreaking story.

Sister, even without the memories, I could still remember the pain.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

Sleep a while.

I see. They might as well be helpless then.

Don't lose their position!

Dolphin...

Thank you for everything!

Farewell.

Now, let's make a beeline for the underground empire!

To go or not to go. That is the question.

What are you talking about?!

It's too late for regrets. This is what makes life interesting.

In the first place, what would it be like

without the two of us there for comic relief?!

Aren't you nervous at all?!

We're going to Yomi, the underground empire!

And there's no guarantee we'll make it back home.

Next time on Cyborg 009:

Episode 46: To the Depths of the Earth!

It's been fun knowing you.

It's been fun knowing you.

Don't make me cry! I can't see the script with tears in my eyes!
