You must not let go of your dreams

And never turn your gaze away

Yet even still love may cloud up and fade away

And even though you comforted your love

When he was feeling down

Sadness was still weighing down his heavy heart

Hang on tight to your dreams - they're weapons in your arsenal

You'll find that you can get through anything at all

So never cry - you know I shall always be watching over you

What I love about you is your strong sense of fairness

So never cry - you know I shall always be right there by your side

And so now you can face your future fearlessly

"Shadow in Geo-Front"

What's that?

What now? What's that?

Look!

No! This is terrible!

A calamity!

Yes, that hole's a nuisance.

The experts are coming and going examining it

That's why we've fallen behind.

We'd be better off just closing off the hole.

It's become the world's newest natural wonder.

"The mysterious caverns at the heart of Tokyo Geo City."

What do you mean?

Problems can be a blessing in disguise.

The company may want to open up the caverns to tourists.

Supervision speaking. Yes?

What? Another cavern's opened up?

Yes, yes. And?

Got it.

They've found an even larger cavern on the lower level.

Great. We can expect more "experts".

Sir, aren't you going for lunch?

Working too hard can kill you!

What's going on? What happened?!

An underground city, you say!

Sounds like something from an old science fiction movie!

It's called Tokyo Geo-City.

Between 100 and 200 metres underground.

Composed of several independent units.

They form a ring 40 kilometres in diameter in the underground network.

It's part of Tokyo's "Blueprint for the 21st Century".

We're heading for the main central unit, the Core Block.

I definitely sense an adventure! Treasures, ghosts, time capsules!

What happened to your time capsule?

I forgot what I buried and where!

Yes, I'll bet the place is haunted!

Ghosts don't exist.

There it is: The fire department's Pyro Buster!

We shall not allow your continued invasion. Time and again, man has desecrated holy grounds... This Babylon Project is an affront to the gods. Man shall not be permitted to lay hand on these lands. We have the means to bring down the entire Geo-front. -- Earth Defence Army

So the man who disappeared underground isn't one of your workers.

Right.

It makes sense.

The fire department usually responds with its own Labours.

I wondered why you called us.

It seemed like an odd thing to do.

The terrorist smuggled a huge bomb down to the bottom level.

If it goes off, it will be the end of the Tokyo Geo City project. We'd have to start from scratch.

What's that?

That?

During construction, we came across a huge limestone cave.

Surprising that such a wonder existed right here beneath Tokyo!

So this shall be a very dangerous mission.

This is a live bomb. One mis-step, and...

BOOM!!

Let's try to avoid that, shall we?

Explosions are bad.

What are you scared of, Izumi?

Don't worry, I'll be with you.

Yes, I'll... Pardon?

You mean you'll pilot the Ingram?

Of course.

Lieutenant!

Kanuka trained in anti-terrorist procedure in New York.

She's also a bomb squad expert.

So this time, she'll be acting in command and on the front lines.

Besides, dealing with bombs calls for a calm composure.

Yes, that too.

Izumi, you shall follow Kanuka's orders and support Unit 2.

Lieutenant!

You two might as well set out, I suppose.

C-Lieutenant!

Here's a little present.

Block 8: Nothing here either.

Block 13 is next. A quick left, then bear right.

Roger.

Izumi, let's move. Take the lead.

Roger.

What's wrong?

Hear that? It sounded like a creature howling!

Officer Izumi, I'll only say this once.

This isn't Jules Verne's creation or the tomb of Masakado.

We shan't find any buried treasure or ancient mysteries you hope for.

I found it!

Stop!

Why? Stop!

It's a trap.

Bomb located. It has a trip wire.

We're about to disarm the device.

Roger.

Rather bad static.

They ARE underground. Rather bad static.

They're doing better than I thought.

What, don't tell me you were worried, Shinohara?

Who me? Hardly!

They should be busting the perpetrators!

Isn't that what we're here for?! To catch the perpetrators?!

Yes, you're right.

Nothing on radar. No heat signatures.

Looks like we're alone down here.

Don't push yourself too hard. If you can't do it, come on back.

Our job's not done until we apprehend the perpetrator.

She takes her work seriously.

You said there was a cave on the lowest level?

Yes, but I haven't had a chance to see it yet.

Shinohara, take over here.

Yamazaki, mind coming with me for a bit?

Me?

Lieutenant, where are you going?

For a stroll with Hiromi.

Later.

Is he really a Lieutenant?

Yes, in his own way.

There's only one possibility. The criminal must be back here.

What do we do now?

Pursue him, of course.

Shouldn't we come back later?

Who's in charge here, me or you?

Roger.

Okay, you're under arrest.

Shouldn't we go back?

We came all this way, so let's look around.

These look like they're from the Tokugawa era.

Kanuka!

What's wrong Noa? Come in!

Oh, my!

I almost wet myself when I saw you rise up from my sealed-up well!

You needn't have made refreshments.

I was afraid you were the Dragon God Ryujin, returned.

Ryujin?

In ancient times, a cruel dragon plagued this region.

Many samurai went to defeat it, but none ever returned.

But one day, a holy man happened by.

He used his spiritual powers to seal the dragon away inside this well.

Then those bones we saw were the samurai who tried to kill the Dragon God.

Yes?

Lieutenant! Yes?

I can't reach Noa and Kanuka!

I've lost contact!

What? I've lost contact!

Noa! Kanuka! Come in! Either of you!

What're they doing?!

This is exactly why I should've gone down there!

Be quiet!

- "Umihiko"? [Umihiko and Yamahiko: two brothers in Japanese myth who quarreled over gifts from the Dragon God Ryujin].

- Yes. One of my bombs, "Yamahiko", didn't go off. [Umihiko and Yamahiko: two brothers in Japanese myth who quarreled over gifts from the Dragon God Ryujin].

[Umihiko and Yamahiko: two brothers in Japanese myth who quarreled over gifts from the Dragon God Ryujin].

But I still have another ticking away elsewhere.

Umihiko wipe out everything!

Umihiko?

You must mean the operations tower in Tokyo Bay.

What do you mean?

Tokyo Geo-City has a lot of earth and sand to dispose of.

It's carted through an underground tunnel...

and deposited on the artificial island of the Babylon Project.

The operations tower hoists the dirt up from the undersea tunnel.

Of course. An explosion there would open the tunnel to the sea.

The entire Geo City project would be flooded.

They'd have to start from scratch.

Who told you?

What, you mean I'm right? It was just a wild guess!

It's at Jonantoki, 1.2 km. Away.

Why you ...!

What about Izumi and Kanuka?

The tunnel under construction connects to the lower level.

They might be trapped.

Are you okay, Kanuka?

The stabiliser in my right leg is broken

It was some kind of animal. It could attack us again.

Here it comes!

My Ingram can't walk.

I'll hold him off. You get out of here.

No way!

Officer Izumi, that's an order!

What are you doing?

Officer Izumi, disobeying orders!

Grab onto this; it'll pull us out of here!

Hurry!

One shot left.

I have six.

Undersea Cable Insulation Compressed Nitrogen Gas

You beast! You rotten beast!

Let's get out of here!

I knew we couldn't stop it.

Checkmate.

Come on.

What is it?

There's another bomb here!

How much time's left?

Eighteen minutes.

We can't disarm it that quickly.

We can't let it explode here. Take it off.

Okay.

Take it with you! Hurry!

Kanuka, it's coming!

We must make our stand here!

Noa, I can't forgive your disobeying orders.

But thanks for saving my life. I'm grateful.

What do you expect?

We're teammates.

Time left?

Thirty-two seconds.

Why you...!

We did it!

Noa, are you okay? Come in! Respond!

So what did you say in your report?

Nothing.

They didn't find a body, and nobody would believe us anyway.

That's true.

Clearly, it was a descendant of some reptile from the Mesozoic Period.

It must have adapted to live in a subterranean environment.

That's the only rational explanation.

Let's just call it a giant monster. I've always wanted to see one!

Must you insist on pursuing juvenile fantasies?

How do you explain a reptile surviving the Mesozoic?!

I told you, it adapted to live underground!

Well what about his wife and children?

Wife?!

What makes you think it was male?

He had a deep voice!

What are they talking about?

Maybe they saw Ryujin-samal!

Ryujin?!

Hey, Noa, did you see a dragon?

No, it was a giant monster!

No, it was a mutant variation of a Mesozoic reptile!

Lieutenant, don't encourage them!

They have a loose grip on reality!

Did it look like a mythological beast?

It wasn't a mythological beast, it was a giant monster!

Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue

If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight

Midnight Blue

I know I can do it, If only just once

Pulled into my dream I find that I wake up

Drenched in sweat and feeling lonely

I turn off the TV I've been listening to

Tomorrow I shall spend the whole day

In the city of my dreams, amidst the old dust

I want to feel the main street beneath my feet soon

I plan to always look on the brighter side

Keep my chin up, look to the future

After all, there's only one path I can travel

Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue

If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight

Midnight Blue

I know I can do it, If only just once

Midnight Blue

If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight

Midnight Blue

I know I can do it, If only just once

This story is fiction... but in 10 years, who knows?

The stupid fight between Noa and I turned serious and made our relationship worse.

At the same time...

A mysterious Labour attacks our training session with a private defence company.

Moreover, the defence company's Labour, the Toyohata Auto SRX-79,

was the one almost adopted by Division 1.

And it seems that some shady business is happening in the Oshima desert.
